Thanks for coming.
You said it was an emergency.
It is. Your father know you're here?
No, he said we can't trust you.
That's fair. So why'd you come?
Because I wanted to determine that for myself. What happened between you two?
I did something very bad a long time ago, and there was stuff I should've told your father before now. He doesn't trust me because I held out on him for so long. I can't blame him, but I just want to make things right. Not just with him, but...
With your conscience.
But also because people are in danger. I used to work as a sort of a scout
Scout? A scout for who?
For some people I now know are very bad. I helped them find young people with abilities.
You mean young people, like me, with powers?
Yes. And I just saw the body of one the boys that I helped find 30 years ago.
Oh my God!
Along with several others. Please, don't tell your father just yet. Listen, Anissa, I told your father that people I used to work for are hunting Black Lightning. I don't think it's safe for either of you to be out. I have seen a dozen terrible things in my life, but I can't get out of my head what I saw in that lab. Black Lightning's the only one who can expose what's been done and bring these people to justice. Will you please tell him?
Yes. [gets up to leave]
Anissa, regardless of what you all may think of me, I will always care about you and your family, and I would do anything to protect you.
