Previously on
Black Lightning...

You're looking
at the king of Freeland.

Good day, Mr. Green.

The panel's decision
has been made,

and that decision is final.

- Some straight bull!
- Security!

You can take that grant to hell.

I've been monitoring
you for a while now.

When I heard you weren't
gonna get that grant,

I figured it was
a good time to reach out.

Did you really just deposit
100 grand into my account?

I wanted you to know
I put a value on your time.

Whatever it is, I'm in.

I better get my money's worth.

Just tell me who
this person is you want found.

Him.

Giselle Cutter.
Assassin, tracker,

world-class martial artist,
mercenary for hire.

There is a killer
on my daughter's tail,

hired by Tobias,
which means that she's...

She's after Khalil.

Are you good to go?

Yeah.

This is like finding a needle
in a haystack.

What about this last one?

That's gotta be her. Let's go.

They were definitely here.

Just tell me the truth.

Is Jennifer dead?

I don't know.

- Anything?
- Not yet.

We were close behind them.

How could they just disappear?

They didn't disappear.

They're out there
and we're gonna find them.

Look, I hate
to be Captain Obvious,

but if they're still out there,

we need to find them
before Cutter and Tobias do.

Just concentrate on your riding.
You're new to that bike.

Okay.

Let me know
when you find something.

J, come on.

Mmm-mmm, Khalil, do not do that.

I just walked hella miles
on foot with you.

Don't piss me off, I'm coming.

Khalil, where the hell are we?

Uh...

My apartment.

Did you draw all of these?

Uh, yeah.

Modern day Basquiat.

This is kinda fly.

Yeah, thanks.

Yeah, you know,

I needed someplace
where no one could find me,

a place away from Tobias.

Besides, I've always
liked trains.

Yeah, ever since I was a kid,
I would watch

Thomas the Tank Engine.

Well, you probably
should've asked for some help,

because interior design
is not your area.

Okay, so you got jokes.

Jen, where are you?

Yeah?

You sound tired. Maybe
you should get some rest.

I'm not resting
until our baby is home.

Yeah, we're on it,
but they ditched the car

and there's no bus stops nearby

or reports of other cars stolen.

So what do we do?

Well, Gambi thinks they're hiding,
waiting for us exhaust our search.

But where that is exactly,
we don't know.

Khalil's.

What do you mean, "Khalil's"?

I was hoping to find someone
Khalil might contact

who would convince him
to bring Jen back,

so I went to see his dad.

Wait, the felon?

I went to see his dad,
and he said

Khalil has his own place
somewhere Tobias can't find him.

We know Jennifer
and Khalil were texting

before they dumped
their cell phones.

I'll get Khalil's number
and track the ping records.

Eliminating Tobias-related locations
might help us find that hideaway.

Good.

Lynn, no more moves

without backup, please.

I hear you.

So, uh, noodles in a cup
or ramen?

Oh, I'm a ramen girl.

Cool.

Hey, you remember that time
I asked you to be my girl?

Yeah, how could I forget?

You said that if anything
had happened to me,

the thought of not being able to
ask me out really messed with you.

Yeah, I remember.

You was all shy and cute.

Wait.

- "Was"?
- Don't worry.

You're still cute now that we
cut off those promoter dreads.

Well, uh...

you remember this?

You know, I was thinking that...

I'd like to give it back to you.

Hey, look, um...

Look, even if you say yes, it doesn't
mean you have to take me back,

or we even have to be
boyfriend and girlfriend.

It's just that, because you're
here right now, I thought...

it belongs with you.

You know what?
Sorry. Yeah, it's...

I'd love to have it back.

Hey.

Hey. Hey.

See?

No glow.

Just beautiful you.

Khalil...

I can't.

I can't do this.

I'm sorry, but I'm not ready.

I didn't leave home to lose my
virginity in a train car like this.

- Yeah.
- I left home to keep you safe.

To keep you alive.

And I don't regret that
because you are alive.

But I don't... I don't
want it to be like this.

"We were on the run
in a train car."

You know?

I'm worried.

I'm worried about
what's gonna happen to you,

worried about
what's gonna happen to me.

I'm worried about what
my family's thinking about me.

Hey... it's okay.

I will wait.

Come on.

What are you thinking about?

I'm wishing
this was all a dream.

Yeah, well, it ain't.

Where are we going after we finally
get the heck up out of Freeland?

California?

Uh-uh, I'm not leaving Freeland
just to stay in the States.

I want to go to Bahia.

Oh, yeah, definitely Bahia.

- Yeah?
- Yeah.

We also need to learn
some languages.

I was thinking Portuguese.
What you think?

Oh, French.

Yeah, okay.
I'm not bad at French.

Teach your little friend, too.

All right, here she is.

She's just want answers.

Did you guys manage
to come up with anything?

Analyzing the cell
towers Khalil's been using,

I've managed to eliminate
the most frequently

visited places
that he wouldn't go now,

like Club 100,
his mother's apartment.

That leaves us with a two-mile
area of mostly abandoned factories.

That's a lot to search,
Uncle Gambi.

Any way we narrow
it down any further?

Not without a live signal
from Khalil's cell phone.

Okay. Okay, fine.

So, Gambi and I will take these.

You and Anissa take...

No! Jeff, It'll be more efficient
if we search individually.

- Absolutely not.
- It's too dangerous.

I'll be fine.
Give me an area.

We don't have time to chitchat.

Fine. We search individually.

I'll divide the map
into four parts.

It's on your phone.

Watch her.

Hmm, spectacular, isn't it?

It's not bad.

"Not bad"?

This man changed the landscape
of music at least three times.

Americans, and most Negroes,

don't respect the impact
jazz had on the culture.

The Birth of the Cool,
Miles, Mingus,

Art Blakey, Duke Ellington...
I could go on and on.

That's black excellence.

A man like yourself
should be able to relate.

And why is that?

Because jazz is underappreciated,
Todd, just like you.

- Why do you keep saying that?
- Is it not true?

Anything else, Mr. Whale?

No. You can excuse yourself.

How is it?

It's toficken.

I know you're one of them
transformed Negro vegans.

I made it my business
to know everything about you,

like how you're
an encryption specialist

who can understand the internal
workings of algorithms,

that you can
read them well enough

to have access
to whatever you want.

- So that's why I'm here?
- Of course.

I have a problem that requires
an intellectual musician.

I have an instrument
that needs mastering.

And based on what
I've read about you,

I assume that we're working
outside the boundaries

of all conventional
and legal activities.

Hmm.

Answer it.

Open them thick lips
and use your white voice.

Hello, you've reached
the office of Tobias Whale.

This is Todd speaking.

Someone named Cutter.

Yes, what can I help you with?

Are you sure
you want me to tell him that?

Cutter no longer has eyes
on Khalil.

Damn it!

He's not happy.

She wants to know the three most
visited locations of Khalil's implant.

Can I ask why?

Wait, what the hell does

"walking backwards in your
own footsteps" even mean?

Hello? Hello?

Just how long has Cutter
been looking for this Khalil?

Too damn long.

Jen!

Jen, it's Uncle Gambi!

Are you in here?

Jen!

Jen!

Jennifer?

Have you seen these two?

Thank you.

Jennifer!

Jennifer?

Jennifer, are you here?

Please come home, baby.

I know it may seem like running
is the right idea, but it isn't.

There's no finish line for you or
Khalil if you just keep moving.

You'll get hurt...

or worse.

Let us help you.

Please come back.
We'll help you. I promise.

We're not a family
without you, Jen.

Home is not home.

We just need you to come back.
No one's mad at you.

We just want you home and safe.

I love you, Jennifer.

I love you.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, J...

J, listen to me,
we cannot go back.

Do you think I wanna go back to
that Rikers Island of a home?

I don't, but she's right.

She's right.

- We're not fooling anybody but ourselves.
- But we aren't fools.

I mean, look how long
we've survived on our own.

J, does that not count
for anything?

Yes, it does, but I don't want to survive.
I want to live.

I want to live a good life,
with you,

but running is not
gonna help anything.

Running is not gonna help us
solve any of our problems.

J, you don't understand.

If we go back,
Tobias will find us.

He'll find me.

But he's not looking for you.

I'm sorry, I...

- J, I put you in this...
- No, don't start, Khalil. Don't start.

I put you
in this crazy situation.

It's time for you to go home.

Hi.

- Jen?
- Jen!

Oh!

Hey, Mr. P.

- Dad! Dad!
- Dad!

- No.
- Dad, stop.

You're lucky my family's here...

'cause I would whoop your ass.

Damn.

Exactly.

I've been able to access some information,
mainly about crooked politicians,

corrupt agencies
of law enforcement, judges,

and some very interesting
real estate purchases

made 30 years ago under an
alias that doesn't exist.

I managed to secure the property
except for one building,

a clinic owned by
a pimpy-ass preacher. Hmph.

That's as far as
I've been able to get with it,

but I know it's bigger,
I know there's more.

Uh, what would the ASA want with
property in the heart of the ghetto?

That's what I need you
to find out.

And most importantly, what does
all this have to do with metas?

Well, well, well, look
what didn't drag Khalil in.

I am not in the mood
for your jokes, little boy.

Give her what she needs.

Whoa, whoa, okay. I don't
think that that's a good idea.

When I looked up Khalil's
three most-visited locations,

I did a little bit
of extra research,

and Cutter has some, uh,
holes in her resume.

I'll slit your throat,
you little bitch!

Give her the list.

Okay. Just...
trying to look out for you.

I know, and I do greatly
appreciate the initiative, Todd,

but you might want to tread lightly
around natural born killers.

Cutter.

- Do the job and do it fast.
- Yeah.

Khalil being free means
his weak ass can snitch on me.

And he's slowed me
down enough already.

I got it.

I need to get past
this firewall.

I want all the information before
I move the way that I need to.

Little bitch.

Okay, look,
Mr. and Mrs. Pierce,

I know I can't take back any
of the hurt that I've caused,

but I am sorry, mostly for getting
Jennifer involved in all of this.

And it's not even her fault.

She was just trying
to help me out.

That's not
completely true. I...

I made a choice to run with him.

We accept your apology, Khalil.

And it's very admirable that
you would defend each other,

but it doesn't change
the fact that Khalil

is a danger to you
when he's with you.

Because of Tobias?

Yes, because of Tobias.

He wants Khalil dead, period.

And if that means he has to kill you
to make that happen, he will, period.

Plus, Khalil knows too much to risk
Tobias getting his hands on him.

Yeah.

You mean about Jen having powers
or you being Black Lightning?

- Uh...
- She didn't tell me.

I'm not stupid.

I mean, she's electric, and
you and Thunder came after us.

I would never do anything
to hurt any of you.

Yeah, that may be true... now.

But what I meant is that Tobias knows
you can help put him behind bars.

Look, as far as I can see,
there's only one option.

What?

He has to turn himself in
to the authorities.

Dad... No, please.

Please. You care more about getting
Tobias than what happens to him?

- Jennifer...
- Mom, it's the truth.

- J, stop.
- What...

Tobias is crazy, and I do
know too much about him.

And he'll never
stop coming after me.

And if he catches me,
hey, I'm a danger to you...

To your family.

Your father's right.

I have to turn myself in.

- He's a wanted murderer, Jeff.
- I know.

And he tried to kill you.
He did kill you, technically.

Yeah, I know that, too.

And, Jeff, don't get me wrong,
I'm glad Jen is home,

but I don't know why
you want me to help this kid.

Okay, look, look. He made a lot
of bad choices, I know that.

He knows it, too.

But roll of the dice.

If he doesn't get shot, all
of this turns out differently.

A lot of people have
bad things happen to them,

and they don't go to work
for a psychopath

and run around shooting people
in the ass with poison darts.

If we don't help,
Tobias will kill him.

Look, man...

this is not easy for me,

but he brought
Jennifer home safely.

I may not owe it to him, but...

I at least owe it to my daughter
to care about what happens to him.

Well, no agency is gonna
protect him unless he testifies.

Yeah, Khalil understands that.

I can't believe you're trying
to save this kid's life

after all he put you through.

Yeah, I know man. I know.

But...

I guess I'm just glad
that he's...

He's the person
that I thought he was.

Sure you are.

Always want to help people.

Henderson?

What?

He wants to see
his mother first.

The feds won't
make any stops, Jeff.

This is gonna be hard enough
to pull off

without a tour of Freeland
in the middle of it.

Okay, then Black Lightning and
Thunder will arrange a meeting,

and then we'll take care
of the hand off.

You are still a vigilante
in the eyes of the law.

All right, I'll make sure
the boy sees his momma. Damn.

- All right. Docks, tonight?
- Yes.

It looked like a tornado
went through here.

There were a lot of big
feelings after you ran off.

Yeah, I know.

It wasn't your most mature move.

Listen, we didn't have a choice.

You always have a choice.

Tobias wanted to kill him.

You should've told me, Jen.
I would've helped him.

Really? You weren't
saying that

when Mom and Dad
had me on that tight leash.

That's because they didn't want
anything bad to happen to you.

And they were right.

Your ass ended up being chased
by hired killers.

Yeah, and I still had more fun
than I've been having at home.

Come here.

Did you have sex with him?

How did you know
that was a conversation?

Girl, two good-looking
teenagers on the run, in danger.

I ain't gotta be Miss Cleo
to figure that out.

So, did you?

Part of me wanted to, but no.

Hmm.

At this point, it seems like
it'll never happen.

Look, you did what was
right for you in the moment.

And there ain't nothing wrong
with some self-love.

Okay?

- Yeah.
- All right.

Come here.

Yeah.

Really? Hmm,
thank you for the heads-up.

Before I let you go,
what's your favorite color?

Blue?

Mine's, too. Okay.

"Blue."

There's no imagination in that.
It's like saying you like ice cream.

I like ice cream.

Of course you do.

Have a blue .450 delivered
to my old friend ADA Montez.

Make sure it can't be
traced back to me.

Also, give this info to Cutter.

Khalil is trying
to save his black ass

by snitching on me and going
into witness protection.

Well, do you know when and where
the feds are taking custody?

It's on that paper.

Hey.

Yo, you should not be out here.

Go.

Okay. Why?

Is Tobias Whale
in your backyard?

That's not funny.

Okay, you paranoid much?

Look, after everything
we've been through,

I don't want anything
to happen to you.

Hey, come here.

Khalil, I'm so sorry.

For what?

For everything.

If you hadn't gotten shot
at the march, then...

- Tobias wouldn't be chasing you...
- Stop.

Look...

Look, I know I said that I wouldn't
have gone that night without you,

But I was just trying to get the pain
out of me and on to someone else.

I was going to the march.

Being with you was just a bonus.

None of this,
none of it is your fault.

I really don't want you to go.

Hey, hey, hey, hey.

Yo...

this isn't the end.

Look, I do the right thing, and
Tobias, he goes to jail forever.

I get to come back, and who knows,
we can finish what we started, okay?

I love you.

And you're the best thing
that has ever happened to me.

What?

- Hey! Hey, stop!
- It's all right. Let her go. Let her go.

Hi, Momma.

Oh, baby.

We've only got a couple of minutes.

All this for my baby.

- Really? Really?
- Hey. Hey, stop.

Mom, it's okay.

Hey,

it's okay.

I'm so sorry for everything.

I didn't mean to put you through this.

All right. We gotta go.
Come on.

It's going to be okay.

I'm gonna be back, Momma.

- Momma, you gotta...
- Let's go.

- Let's go.
- No. No.

What, you've got to sign
for him like he's a package?

Law enforcement
love their paper trail.

Is he gonna be okay?

Well, he's better with them
than with Tobias.

Why are you stopping?
Run her over or go around.

Really?

Alert everyone.
I'm gonna check it out.

Situation, 41.
Checking it out.

Ma'am, are you okay?

Damn! Agent down! Agent down!

Put your hands up!

- Get on the ground!
- Hands! Let me see 'em!

Hey, thanks for setting
this whole thing up...

Something went wrong
with Khalil's transport.

I'm about two minutes
from the caravan route.

I'm on my way.

Tell Anissa to reroute.

Henderson says something's
gone wrong with the transport.

You got it.

Onboard to dispatch.

Please check in.
What's going on?

This is Central Command asking
for immediate sitrep.

Please give your location...

Code 2.

We are asking for any
available units to come in.

Dispatch to all available
units, please track down...

Protection team has gone quiet.

Officers AWOL. No response.

Bring in all available units.

- Hey.
- I'm almost there.

No need. Everybody's dead.

Khalil?

There's no sign of him.

Okay.

Yeah, okay.

What?

It's Khalil.

Khalil what?

He's been kidnapped.

- I'm sorry.
- No.

Ugh. No.

No, no, no!

No, I told you! I told you!

No! No!

Well, well, well.

Leaving was all on me.

My idea. My plan.

You trying to get me
to go soft on the Pierce girl?

I made her go.

- Hmm.
- She had no idea what...

She had plenty of chances
to get away, but she didn't.

But once she left,
she couldn't go back.

Her father's a hardass.

It's practically a Romeo
and Juliet story, isn't it?

Two young lovers,
desperate to be together.

Nah, that's not it.

I just wanted to get away
from your crazy ass.

I got no beef
with the Pierce girl.

She didn't get Syonide killed
or do a half-assed job

and then run away without
facing the consequences. No.

That was you.

I wanted you to be great
like Alexander,

but you've got the heart
of a stooped sharecropper,

happy to spend the days
tending to master's land.

We've got no time
for small dreams here, Khalil.

So if you can't walk
with the giants,

then you shall crawl
with the snakes!

Not so fast now, are you?

I told you I'd always
have your back.

Why don't you two
take out the trash?

Oh, my God!

Someone, help, please.

Please.

Oh, my God. Oh, my God.

It's gonna be all right, son.

Remember, the Lord
is your shepherd...

You understand?

No harm or evil can betake you.

We ask you to come
by here right now, Lord,

and put your arms around him.

He's gonna keep you.

Just hang on, son.

He's gonna keep you.

Access to Project MOD granted.

Oh!

Oh, yes! Oh!

Tobias!

Hey, Tobias!

Hey!

What the hell is the problem?

You keep making
all that damn noise,

I'mma throw your smart
black ass out the window.

Ah... I'm... I'm sorry.

- Uh, I did it!
- Did what?

I broke the code!

I got past the briefcase's
firewall. Look.

All right, now, look.

So these are the pod kids.

Wow.

"The first shall be last
and the last shall be first."

This is good.

Yeah, but it only gets better.

- "Better"?
- Yeah.

See, remember we were
wondering why this clinic?

Why the ASA was so interested
in it 30 years ago?

- Hmm.
- It's where they were giving the original

vaccinations to the kids
of Freeland.

It's the first piece of
property the ASA bought.

Rev. Holt took over it after they
stopped the first experiments.

Your thick lips
ain't making sense, Todd.

Okay, what the hell is "MOD"?

Masters of Disaster.
Super metas.

There are four metas here,
all right?

These are old
ASA experiment pods.

Hmm.

These are their vitals.

Now, the clinic, of course,
has been remodeled since then,

so I can't pinpoint exactly
where they are, but they're here.

So, what now?

Now it all begins.
