if you trained a little more,
180
00:09:30,657 --> 00:09:32,180
you'd have more control.
181
00:09:32,223 --> 00:09:33,573
Less property damage,
182
00:09:33,616 --> 00:09:35,183
no nicknames.
183
00:09:35,226 --> 00:09:36,967
Says the woman who leaves
giant cracks in the street
184
00:09:37,011 --> 00:09:38,795
just by landing dramatically.
185
00:09:38,839 --> 00:09:41,145
-You can just walk, Anissa.
-You know what? Nevermind.
186
00:09:41,189 --> 00:09:43,713
You know what? It's bad enough
I'm arguing with your father,
187
00:09:43,757 --> 00:09:45,193
I don't want to hear it
from you two.
188
00:09:45,236 --> 00:09:46,890
[Jennifer sighs]
189
00:09:46,934 --> 00:09:49,110
The only word I wanna hear
is an apology. Am I clear?
190
00:09:49,153 --> 00:09:50,590
[Anissa] Yeah,
you're right, Mom.
191
00:09:50,633 --> 00:09:52,461
I'm gonna go check on Grace.
192
00:09:52,504 --> 00:09:54,855
-Bye.
-Bye, Lethal Lightning.
193
00:09:54,898 --> 00:09:56,508
-[laughing]
-That's not funny. Anissa!
194
00:09:58,293 --> 00:10:00,382
[sighs] I was helping people.
195
00:10:00,425 --> 00:10:03,733
What that camera didn't catch
was that family I saved.
196
00:10:03,777 --> 00:10:05,648
Larsen's controlling
my narrative.
197
00:10:05,692 --> 00:10:07,084
I know.
198
00:10:07,128 --> 00:10:08,520
Like I said,
199
00:10:08,564 --> 00:10:10,610
edited news like that
you can't fix.
200
00:10:11,654 --> 00:10:12,916
Now, put my show back on.
201
00:10:14,614 --> 00:10:16,572
[woman speaking indistinctly
on TV]
202
00:10:16,616 --> 00:10:17,529
Put me in a coma.
203
00:10:21,838 --> 00:10:23,666
You've been busy, Lauren.
204
00:10:23,710 --> 00:10:25,537
Wait until you
see the playground
I've built inside.
205
00:10:25,581 --> 00:10:27,714
Mmm-hmm.
Just what have you got inside?
206
00:10:27,757 --> 00:10:29,237
The stuff that
dreams are made of.
207
00:10:37,941 --> 00:10:40,770
This facility is like
nothing I've ever seen before.
208
00:10:40,814 --> 00:10:42,293
-Mmm-hmm.
-It's amazing.
209
00:10:45,383 --> 00:10:47,647
-Are those--
-My pride and joy.
210
00:10:47,690 --> 00:10:50,171
The next generation
Direct-Energy Gun.
211
00:10:50,214 --> 00:10:52,434
The press calls them the DEGs.
212
00:10:52,477 --> 00:10:54,958
We're on the eve
of market release.
213
00:10:55,002 --> 00:10:59,310
They're going to save lives
and change the world.
214
00:10:59,354 --> 00:11:01,051
-[gun beeps]
-From what I've read,
215
00:11:01,095 --> 00:11:03,793
their energy output is lethal
to humans and to metas.
216
00:11:03,837 --> 00:11:05,708
Are you confident they're safe
for mass market?
217
00:11:05,752 --> 00:11:08,189
You think the prospect unwise?
218
00:11:08,232 --> 00:11:10,191
-You're showing
your age, Peter.
-[sighs]
219
00:11:11,453 --> 00:11:12,802
Wine only improves with age
220
00:11:12,846 --> 00:11:14,195
if the grapes were good
to begin with.
221
00:11:14,978 --> 00:11:16,458
I missed this.
222
00:11:16,501 --> 00:11:19,069
Yes, they are lethal
to both metas and humans,
223
00:11:19,113 --> 00:11:21,550
but I had the techs install
a stun setting.
224
00:11:21,593 --> 00:11:22,812
Can't have
local law enforcement
225
00:11:22,856 --> 00:11:25,423
disintegrating civilians.
226
00:11:25,467 --> 00:11:27,817
They're capable of punching
a hole through a tank,
227
00:11:27,861 --> 00:11:30,951
or safely neutralizing
a carjacker.
228
00:11:30,994 --> 00:11:33,257
The ultimate peacekeeper tech.
229
00:11:33,301 --> 00:11:35,172
Hmm?
230
00:11:35,216 --> 00:11:36,260
-[telephone ringing]
-[people chattering
indistinctly]
231
00:11:45,139 --> 00:11:46,793
Marcel?
232
00:11:46,836 --> 00:11:49,839
Hey. I didn't expect you
back to work so soon.
233
00:11:49,883 --> 00:11:50,840
[sighs]
234
00:11:50,884 --> 00:11:52,146
Look, I, um...
235
00:11:52,189 --> 00:11:53,234
I appreciate
the time you gave me
236
00:11:53,277 --> 00:11:54,235
to mourn the loss of my son...
237
00:11:55,236 --> 00:11:56,759
but I need to work.
238
00:11:56,803 --> 00:11:58,674
I have to get my kids back
from child services.
239
00:11:58,718 --> 00:12:00,154
Yeah, um...
240
00:12:00,197 --> 00:12:01,895
everything okay? I mean...
241
00:12:01,938 --> 00:12:03,418
-[chuckles softly]
-What happened?
242
00:12:03,461 --> 00:12:05,159
Oh, this? It's...
it's nothing to worry about.
243
00:12:07,248 --> 00:12:09,380
Look, I can't imagine
what you're going through,
244
00:12:09,424 --> 00:12:11,992
um, but I have to ask.
245
00:12:12,035 --> 00:12:14,821
You didn't get that from trying
to get back at The One Hundred,
did you?
246
00:12:14,864 --> 00:12:17,432
[scoffs] So, Mr. Pierce,
who do you think I am?
247
00:12:17,475 --> 00:12:18,389
Black Lightning?
248
00:12:18,433 --> 00:12:19,913
[chuckles]
249
00:12:19,956 --> 00:12:21,697
No, I'm moonlighting as a...
As a bouncer...
250
00:12:22,829 --> 00:12:23,743
and occupational hazard.
251
00:12:24,656 --> 00:12:25,919
Hey, I won, though.
252
00:12:28,617 --> 00:12:29,444
Uh...
253
00:12:30,575 --> 00:12:31,925
[bell ringing]
254
00:12:31,968 --> 00:12:34,188
I'm late.
Can't set a bad example.
255
00:12:34,231 --> 00:12:35,711
-Right.
-[Marcel clears throat]
256
00:12:39,106 --> 00:12:40,107
[monitor beeping]
257
00:12:40,150 --> 00:12:41,804
Here we go, babe. I got you.
258
00:12:41,848 --> 00:12:44,241
I got you. [chuckles softly]
259
00:12:44,285 --> 00:12:45,590
Hey, babe, I really did
260
00:12:45,634 --> 00:12:47,984
something great
for the community.
261
00:12:48,028 --> 00:12:50,552
You know, the news are
just trying to say that
metas only destroy,
262
00:12:50,595 --> 00:12:53,424
but, no,
I built something, okay?
263
00:12:53,468 --> 00:12:55,078
A safe space.
264
00:12:55,122 --> 00:12:56,166
You gotta see it, babe.
265
00:12:56,210 --> 00:12:57,472
A safe space for the homeless.
266
00:12:58,560 --> 00:13:00,170
And I did it without violence.
267
00:13:01,476 --> 00:13:03,826
Hmm. There we go.
Okay, I'm lying.
268
00:13:03,870 --> 00:13:05,523
Maybe there was a little.
269
00:13:05,567 --> 00:13:07,830
But, babe, the people I helped,
270
00:13:07,874 --> 00:13:11,529
you gotta see
their faces. You had to.
271
00:13:11,573 --> 00:13:14,228
Damn, babe,
you're a little ashy today.
What's going on?
272
00:13:14,271 --> 00:13:15,969
[chuckles]
273
00:13:16,012 --> 00:13:19,450
Remember how I taught you
there was a thing. Hmm?
274
00:13:19,494 --> 00:13:20,843
[chuckles]
275
00:13:23,759 --> 00:13:25,456
God, I miss you so much.
276
00:13:27,850 --> 00:13:29,330
It's been so long, babe.
I don't...
277
00:13:29,373 --> 00:13:30,810
I don't even know if you're
still in there.
278
00:13:32,115 --> 00:13:34,117
But, babe, if you are,
279
00:13:34,161 --> 00:13:35,553
please can you give me a sign,
280
00:13:35,597 --> 00:13:37,120
let me know we have
a future together?
281
00:13:37,773 --> 00:13:39,122
Please?
282
00:13:39,166 --> 00:13:40,384
I love you so much.
283
00:13:41,429 --> 00:13:42,691
[monitor beeps alarming tone]
284
00:13:43,910 --> 00:13:46,260
No. No. No, baby, please, no.
285
00:13:46,303 --> 00:13:49,132
Don't do this
right now. Please.

Oh, my God. Baby.
289
00:14:07,498 --> 00:14:08,412
Hi.
290
00:14:11,372 --> 00:14:12,590
Hi, how are you?
291
00:14:13,591 --> 00:14:14,549
Hi, baby.
292
00:14:23,819 --> 00:14:25,821
[hip-hop music playing]
293
00:14:30,826 --> 00:14:33,220
That face means
someone's in trouble
or you need my help.
294
00:14:33,263 --> 00:14:35,178
Both.
295
00:14:35,222 --> 00:14:37,964
Tell me you caught that
lying Rebecca Larsen
last night.
296
00:14:38,007 --> 00:14:40,357
Yeah, that white woman
had it out for you. Uh...
297
00:14:41,750 --> 00:14:43,752
Lethal Lightning.
298
00:14:43,795 --> 00:14:45,928
That bitch
edited footage from somebody
to fit her narrative.
299
00:14:48,844 --> 00:14:50,280
I need you
to find her for me, TC.
300
00:14:51,281 --> 00:14:53,022
You look mad.
301
00:14:53,066 --> 00:14:54,806
Please tell me
you're not gonna...
302
00:14:54,850 --> 00:14:56,156
[mimicking Lightning]
303
00:14:56,199 --> 00:14:58,288
No, no. no.
304
00:14:58,332 --> 00:15:00,160
I need the unedited footage
so I can clear Leth--
305
00:15:01,901 --> 00:15:03,685
So I can clear
Lightning's name.
306
00:15:03,728 --> 00:15:05,295
Freelanders understand
the truth,
307
00:15:05,339 --> 00:15:06,253
I'd like to give it to 'em.
308
00:15:09,125 --> 00:15:11,040
I don't know, Jen.
309
00:15:11,084 --> 00:15:13,564
Why don't you just let
sleeping Larsen lie?
310
00:15:13,608 --> 00:15:16,698
And why do you care what people
think about Lightning anyway?
311
00:15:16,741 --> 00:15:18,830
Isn't that the point of having,
you know...
312
00:15:19,962 --> 00:15:21,572
an alter ego?
313
00:15:21,616 --> 00:15:23,226
No. If meta-hate
like hers spreads,
314
00:15:23,270 --> 00:15:25,011
it's gonna make all
of our lives more dangerous.
315
00:15:27,796 --> 00:15:28,623
Please?
316
00:15:34,020 --> 00:15:34,977
All right, fine.
317
00:15:36,544 --> 00:15:37,545
[whirring]

00:15:40,287 --> 00:15:43,290

00:15:46,728 --> 00:15:49,165
There you go. Terry Andrews.
320
00:15:50,688 --> 00:15:52,864
Don't go
and do something crazy.
321
00:15:52,908 --> 00:15:54,736
-Thanks.
-Good luck.

00:15:55,867 --> 00:15:57,260
[bell rings]
323
00:15:59,045 --> 00:16:01,308
[Lynn] Not much has changed
since our last session.
324
00:16:02,744 --> 00:16:04,528
Jeff is still sulking.
325
00:16:04,572 --> 00:16:07,096
And I'm still juggling my work,
326
00:16:07,140 --> 00:16:09,229
with teaching night school
at Garfield.
327
00:16:09,272 --> 00:16:10,404
Let's talk about that.
328
00:16:10,447 --> 00:16:12,667
Elaborate on your decision
329
00:16:12,710 --> 00:16:14,321
to split your time.
330
00:16:14,364 --> 00:16:16,105
Rebuilding our community is...
331
00:16:17,063 --> 00:16:18,716
Is paramount right now.
332
00:16:18,760 --> 00:16:21,023
And while Jeff's
taking a break,
333
00:16:21,067 --> 00:16:23,417
-I'm filling in.
-Why?
334
00:16:23,460 --> 00:16:26,159
Commitment to duty
has been drilled into me
as a child.
335
00:16:27,073 --> 00:16:28,726
Both my parents
336
00:16:28,770 --> 00:16:30,250
proudly served in the military.
337
00:16:30,293 --> 00:16:32,730
Their parents before them.
338
00:16:32,774 --> 00:16:35,690
My brother John
left college and went
straight into the army.
339
00:16:35,733 --> 00:16:37,039
But you didn't.
340
00:16:37,083 --> 00:16:39,259
Why choose
the path less traveled?
341
00:16:40,303 --> 00:16:41,130
Um...
342
00:16:42,958 --> 00:16:44,394
It was chosen for me.
343
00:16:45,395 --> 00:16:47,049
I was different.
344
00:16:47,093 --> 00:16:50,313
Smarter than my brother,
my parents.
345
00:16:50,357 --> 00:16:52,837
They convinced me that
the military would be tedious,
346
00:16:52,881 --> 00:16:55,318
and I wouldn't fit the mold.
347
00:16:55,362 --> 00:16:56,885
And how did that make you feel?
348
00:17:00,454 --> 00:17:01,455
Like an outsider.
349
00:17:02,108 --> 00:17:03,761
Hmm.
350
00:17:03,805 --> 00:17:07,548
But I guess my parents made
the right choice, so...
351
00:17:07,591 --> 00:17:11,073
You're a world-renowned
geneticist.
352
00:17:11,117 --> 00:17:14,120
And a foremost expert
on metagenics.
353
00:17:14,163 --> 00:17:16,687
It's perfectly acceptable
354
00:17:16,731 --> 00:17:19,951
-to sort of
stretch your ego here.

00:27:06,407 --> 00:27:09,018
So, don't worry, TC.
I'm a professional.
532
00:27:17,026 --> 00:27:18,549
That's not good
for Black Lightning.
533
00:27:20,029 --> 00:27:21,552
That's not good
for anyone.
534
00:27:23,554 --> 00:27:25,121
[people clamoring]
535
00:27:25,165 --> 00:27:26,427
All bets are in.
536
00:27:30,736 --> 00:27:32,041
-Fight!
-[bell dinging]
537
00:27:32,955 --> 00:27:35,175

[both grunting]
541
00:28:03,029 --> 00:28:03,986
Yeah!
542
00:28:12,647 --> 00:28:15,737
[crowd cheering]
543
00:28:31,013 --> 00:28:33,363
[grunting continues]

[crowd gasps]
545
00:28:38,064 --> 00:28:39,543
No one can beat me!
546
00:28:44,287 --> 00:28:45,854
[grunts]
547
00:28:45,898 --> 00:28:47,682
[crowd booing]
548
00:28:48,596 --> 00:28:50,772
No man alive.
549
00:28:50,816 --> 00:28:52,731
Yo, should I stop
the fight?
550
00:28:52,774 --> 00:28:54,341
He about to kill
Mr. Pierce.
551
00:28:56,212 --> 00:28:57,648
I don't think
he will.
552
00:28:59,999 --> 00:29:02,479
[crowd jeering]
553
00:29:09,225 --> 00:29:11,924
No! [groans]
554
00:29:16,624 --> 00:29:19,279
Stay down, old man.
You're done.
555
00:29:20,802 --> 00:29:23,544
[crowd cheering]
556
00:29:30,116 --> 00:29:31,465
Don't you turn your back on me.
557
00:29:34,773 --> 00:29:36,992
[crowd exclaims]
558
00:29:37,863 --> 00:29:39,125
We're not done here.
559
00:29:40,343 --> 00:29:43,172
[both grunting]
560
00:29:54,967 --> 00:29:57,839

[crowd cheering]
563
00:30:23,952 --> 00:30:24,910
Yeah!
564
00:30:41,840 --> 00:30:42,841
All right.
565
00:30:45,234 --> 00:30:47,802
This is where
I grew up.
566
00:30:47,846 --> 00:30:53,068
Now, I know it's, uh,
a little old fashioned,
567
00:30:53,112 --> 00:30:55,462
but you're welcome
to stay until you get back
on your feet.
568
00:30:55,505 --> 00:30:57,464
Uh, it's perfect,
Mr. Pierce.
569
00:30:57,507 --> 00:31:01,163
Look, please, please
call me Jefferson.
570
00:31:02,425 --> 00:31:03,687
We spilled blood together.
571
00:31:04,819 --> 00:31:06,212
Uh, you more than me.
572
00:31:07,604 --> 00:31:09,389
You know, I...
573
00:31:09,432 --> 00:31:13,045
I know you took gold
in the decathlon
back in the day...
574
00:31:13,088 --> 00:31:14,829
but I didn't know
you could fight, too.
575
00:31:14,873 --> 00:31:16,613
Yeah, well, I grew up in
the streets of Freeland,
you know.
576
00:31:16,657 --> 00:31:17,876
I learned a trick or two.
577
00:31:18,833 --> 00:31:20,487
Fair enough.
578
00:31:20,530 --> 00:31:22,837
Still, I've never seen
anybody fight like that.
579
00:31:22,881 --> 00:31:24,186
I mean, especially
a principal.
580
00:31:24,230 --> 00:31:26,101
[Jefferson chuckles]
581
00:31:26,145 --> 00:31:29,496
You, you may be the most
impressive man I know,
Mr... Jefferson.
582
00:31:31,324 --> 00:31:33,979
-Jefferson.
-Yeah, I almost forgot.
583
00:31:41,943 --> 00:31:43,597
Oh, man, I can't accept this.
You won it.
584
00:31:43,640 --> 00:31:45,947
Mmm-mmm.
Lala cheated.
585
00:31:45,991 --> 00:31:46,992
That's your money.
586
00:31:56,218 --> 00:31:57,306
First month's rent.
587
00:31:59,482 --> 00:32:00,570
Yeah.
588
00:32:03,791 --> 00:32:06,315
When you're ready
to talk to child services,
let me know.
589
00:32:06,359 --> 00:32:07,186
I'll put in a good word.
590
00:32:08,535 --> 00:32:11,799
Please do me a favor.
No more fighting.
591
00:32:11,842 --> 00:32:14,976
Your kids need a dad.
And Garfield needs
its teachers.
592
00:32:16,847 --> 00:32:21,591
So, this house will take
good care of you
and your family.
593
00:32:26,248 --> 00:32:27,684
Try and enjoy the rest
of your weekend.
594
00:32:45,485 --> 00:32:47,574
Ooh, these are for you.
595
00:32:47,617 --> 00:32:49,793
Oh, who are they from?
596
00:32:49,837 --> 00:32:52,796
I don't know. I'm guessing Dad.
You know he likes to make
grand gestures
597
00:32:52,840 --> 00:32:54,102
when he realizes
he's actually wrong.
598
00:32:56,278 --> 00:33:01,240
-Well?
-It's your father inviting
me for dinner tonight.
599
00:33:01,283 --> 00:33:02,284
What are you gonna
wear tonight?
600
00:33:02,328 --> 00:33:04,330
Oh, I have just the dress.
601
00:33:04,373 --> 00:33:06,506
Your father is not
the only one that can
make grand gestures.
602
00:33:06,549 --> 00:33:08,203
-Ah. Well, have at it.
-[laughing]
603
00:33:11,859 --> 00:33:14,731
[machine beeping]
604
00:33:21,042 --> 00:33:22,174
Do I want to know
where you got that?
605
00:33:25,829 --> 00:33:26,961
Same way you got this,
606
00:33:28,006 --> 00:33:29,137
doing things we shouldn't.
607
00:33:32,097 --> 00:33:34,664
These DEGs pack
quite a punch.
608
00:33:34,708 --> 00:33:37,015
I'm not sure even your
new suit could survive
a direct hit.
609
00:33:38,233 --> 00:33:40,279
Well, here.
610
00:33:40,322 --> 00:33:41,802
Go on, test it out
if you want.
611
00:33:44,500 --> 00:33:46,067
What if you need
to suit up?
612
00:33:46,111 --> 00:33:48,678
I won't.
Look, I told you
Black Lightning's done.
613
00:33:48,722 --> 00:33:51,594
-Jefferson...
-Freeland will be fine
without him.
614
00:33:54,119 --> 00:33:56,077
Honestly, it's a relief
to accept that.
615
00:33:56,121 --> 00:33:57,992
Well, you're awfully
chipper about this.
616
00:33:58,036 --> 00:34:00,603
-Have you been drinking?
-Oh, not yet.
617
00:34:00,647 --> 00:34:02,518
I helped someone, Gambi.
618
00:34:02,562 --> 00:34:06,870
Me, Jefferson Pierce,
and it felt great.
619
00:34:06,914 --> 00:34:08,568
Better than being him.
620
00:34:08,611 --> 00:34:11,571
Jeff, I realize you're
in a dark place right now,
621
00:34:11,614 --> 00:34:13,747
but you can't just stop
being Black Lightning.
622
00:34:13,790 --> 00:34:16,358
Why not? I stopped
being Jefferson Pierce.
Look where that got me.
623
00:34:17,185 --> 00:34:19,187
Gambi, I'm done.
624
00:34:19,231 --> 00:34:20,667
I don't even know
where to start.
625
00:34:20,710 --> 00:34:22,408
Well, you can start
with being happy for me.
626
00:34:23,887 --> 00:34:25,019
I'll see you around,
old man.
627
00:34:26,368 --> 00:34:28,414
Where you off to?
628
00:34:28,457 --> 00:34:30,416
I've been sulking
for over a year.
629
00:34:30,459 --> 00:34:32,244
It's time I try
to make things right with Lynn.
630
00:34:33,897 --> 00:34:34,942
Wish me luck.
631
00:34:40,774 --> 00:34:41,862
[door closes]
632
00:34:44,691 --> 00:34:46,954
-Bonjour, madam.
-Good evening.
633
00:34:46,997 --> 00:34:49,043
I believe I have a reservation
in the name of Pierce.
634
00:34:49,087 --> 00:34:51,915
But of course.
Your party awaits
if you would follow me.
635
00:34:51,959 --> 00:34:52,960
Thank you.
636
00:34:59,271 --> 00:35:01,273
[Tobias] Dr. Stewart.
637
00:35:01,316 --> 00:35:03,231
Please do me the honor
of joining me for dinner.
638
00:35:11,805 --> 00:35:14,329
Girl, don't act like
I don't know you.
639
00:35:14,373 --> 00:35:16,114
Or would you rather
the fine people of Freeland
640
00:35:16,157 --> 00:35:18,768
know about your family's
extracurricular activities?
641
00:35:22,511 --> 00:35:23,599
Please sit.
642
00:35:29,214 --> 00:35:30,780
I rented this whole place
just for you.
643
00:35:31,607 --> 00:35:33,870
Forgive my ruse.
644
00:35:33,914 --> 00:35:37,309
But I knew you wouldn't
attend on my account alone,
so I kept my note vague.
645
00:35:37,352 --> 00:35:41,704
But please,
feel free to order whatever
your heart desires.
646
00:35:41,748 --> 00:35:44,054
I'd rather break bread
with Judas.
647
00:35:44,098 --> 00:35:47,580
Fair enough. Though
I'd be remiss if I didn't
recommend the cognac shrimp.
648
00:35:49,364 --> 00:35:52,802
Dr. Stewart,
or may I call you Lynn?
649
00:35:52,846 --> 00:35:54,369
I need a favor.
650
00:35:54,413 --> 00:35:56,154
One only you
could afford me.
651
00:35:56,197 --> 00:35:57,720
I'll never do
anything for you.
652
00:35:59,113 --> 00:36:00,723
I expected that.
653
00:36:00,767 --> 00:36:03,465
But the favor
is not for me.
654
00:36:03,509 --> 00:36:08,514
You may not know,
but my sister was diagnosed
with ALS at a very young age.
655
00:36:08,557 --> 00:36:11,734
She was cured through
nefarious medical
experimentation,
656
00:36:11,778 --> 00:36:15,608
but the nasty side effects
became too much
for her to bear.
657
00:36:17,218 --> 00:36:19,089
I promised a cure.
658
00:36:19,133 --> 00:36:22,397
Even though she's
no longer with us,
I'm a man of my word.
659
00:36:22,441 --> 00:36:25,400
You're a monster
masquerading as a man.
660
00:36:25,444 --> 00:36:27,446
Mmm.
661
00:36:27,489 --> 00:36:29,535
I recently learned that
a very close friend of mine
662
00:36:29,578 --> 00:36:32,407
was also diagnosed with
this horrific disease.
663
00:36:32,451 --> 00:36:35,193
And I can't bear to watch
her suffer like me
and my sister did.
664
00:36:35,236 --> 00:36:36,846
There are other
geneticists in the world.
665
00:36:36,890 --> 00:36:39,501
None like you.
You're the best.
666
00:36:40,937 --> 00:36:42,896
And I'm willing
to pay for the best.
667
00:36:42,939 --> 00:36:46,900
If you agree to focus
all your research on
finding a cure,
668
00:36:46,943 --> 00:36:50,164
I'll fund your new institute
for the next decade.
669
00:36:51,818 --> 00:36:55,430
Just imagine all the good
that could be accomplished.
670
00:36:55,474 --> 00:36:59,608
On top of being remembered
in history as the Black woman
who cured ALS.
671
00:37:01,784 --> 00:37:02,829
I know.
672
00:37:04,613 --> 00:37:08,617
-Decisions, decisions.
-What do you really want?
673
00:37:08,661 --> 00:37:11,620
I don't have the time
or the inclination
for your mind games.
674
00:37:11,664 --> 00:37:15,450
No games. Scouts Honor.
675
00:37:15,494 --> 00:37:17,452
Even a broke clock
tells the truth
twice a day.
676
00:37:20,238 --> 00:37:24,285
[chuckles] Listen,
I know we've had
our issues.
677
00:37:24,329 --> 00:37:27,462
Especially with the rest
of that meta freak
family of yours.
678
00:37:27,506 --> 00:37:29,725
But, you're different.
679
00:37:31,031 --> 00:37:32,162
You're not like them.
680
00:37:34,469 --> 00:37:36,384
What I need is
your superpower, Lynn.
681
00:37:38,952 --> 00:37:43,348
What I need is you
to just be you.
682
00:37:45,567 --> 00:37:47,352
Please consider my offer
while we dine.
683
00:37:50,616 --> 00:37:54,010
Garcon, menus, please.
684
00:38:13,508 --> 00:38:16,294
Damn. Damn,
beat me to it.
685
00:38:19,253 --> 00:38:20,950
I'm already late.
686
00:38:24,693 --> 00:38:25,955
[door closes]
687
00:38:27,783 --> 00:38:29,394
[machine beeping]
688
00:38:31,047 --> 00:38:33,049
-What's up?
-You look like trash.
689
00:38:33,093 --> 00:38:35,225
Like you've been
partying all night.
690
00:38:35,269 --> 00:38:38,968
[sighs] No, there's always
a come down when I go
to the ionosphere.
691
00:38:39,012 --> 00:38:41,014
I just need a little
pick-me-up.
692
00:38:41,057 --> 00:38:44,191
Well, how about
you stop going up there?
693
00:38:44,234 --> 00:38:46,976
Absorbing that much power
has to have some type
of consequences.
694
00:38:47,020 --> 00:38:48,761
I'm fine.
I know my limits.
695
00:38:49,979 --> 00:38:51,503
Are you done
with my page yet?
696
00:39:02,514 --> 00:39:04,254
[machine beeping]
697
00:39:04,298 --> 00:39:06,256
Lightning is officially
verified on all social media.
698
00:39:07,432 --> 00:39:09,434
And you're sure
it's secure?
699
00:39:09,477 --> 00:39:13,351
I've been bouncing
signals off of VPNs
all around the globe.
700
00:39:13,394 --> 00:39:15,309
It will take a very
determined team
to track it.
701
00:39:17,006 --> 00:39:19,400
All right, good.
