Leti's pregnant. She hadn't told me yet.

Aunt Hippolyta's not the only one who went through the portal.

I went to the future.

That's my son.

It's our family story.

Please tell me there's a happy ending.



What did you do to me?

LANCASTER: The curse.

Couldn't have you telling anybody about our little chats.

[Spirits laughing]

It's the negatives of Titus's pages.

They're yours, if you make Atticus invulnerable.

CHRISTINA: No, not for Atticus.

Man, we should've been watching her.
I mean, I should've been.

Not if you just kept her from leaving the house.

She came by my house, too, looking for you.

You could've picked up the damn phone

- and let somebody know.
- I was on my way out.

- You just let her go? Let...

Stop pointing fingers.
You all are to blame.

Now how do we fix this?

Yeah, she will, because I'ma give her Titus's pages.

Those could be the very thing she needs for whatever she's planning for the autumnal equinox, boy!

It won't matter, Pop. sh*t.

I'm calling Christina to save Dee.

Wait.

Christina already has Titus's pages.

I gave them to her.

sh*t, Leti.

Tic, I-I went to her to trade them for invulnerability for you, to protect you, but she... offered me invulnerability instead.

And you took it?

- Pop, Pop.

- You better back up!

Pray with me.

Our father...

BOTH: Who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name...

Sometimes I wonder what to say to you now

in the soft afternoon air as you hold us all

in a single death.

I say, where is your fire?

I say, where is your fire?

You got to find it and pass it on.

You got to find it and pass it on from you to me,

from me to her, from her to him,

from the son to the father,

from the brother to the sister,

from the daughter to the mother,

from the mother to the child.

I say, where is your fire?

I say, where is your fire?

Can't you smell it coming out of our past,

the fire of living, not dying.

The fire of loving, not k*lling.

The fire of Blackness, not gangster shadows.

Where is our beautiful fire

that gave light to the world,

the fire of pyramids,

the fire that b*rned through the hulls of sl*ve ships

and made us breathe?

The fire that made guts into chitlins,

the fire that took rhythms and made jazz,

the fire of sit-ins and marches

that made us jump boundaries and barriers.

The fire that took street talk and sounds

and made righteous Imhotep raps.

Where is your fire, the torch of life,

full of Nzinga and Nat Turner

and Garvey and Du Bois

and Fannie Lou Hamer and Martin and Malcolm

and Mandela?

Sister, sister, sister, brother, brother,

brother, come, come, come, come, come.

Catch your fire. Don't k*ll.

Hold your fire. Don't k*ll.

Learn your fire. Don't k*ll.

Be the fire. Don't k*ll.

Catch the fire and burn

with eyes that see our souls...

I got you, kid.

Walking, singing,

yeah, building, mm-hmm,

laughing, ha ha, learning, yes, loving,

yes, teaching, mm-hmm, being.

Hey. Hey, hey, hey, hey,

young, young, young brother.

Hey, hey, hey, young, young, young, young sister.

Here is my hand.

Catch the fire and live, live.

Live, live, live. Live, live, live.

Live, live, live. Li-li-li-li-li-li-li...

...is not something to be feared...



...but a gift to pass on.

[Dramatic instrumental music]

- This has never been personal.
- Well, to hell it ain't!

MAN: You're trying to k*ll my son.

This book belongs to our family, and together we're going to use it to protect our family.



WOMAN : Only one person in the world.

WOMAN : It's going to change everything.



It's too damn risky.

Look what we've been through to get here.



[Screeching]

We can't stop fighting now!



It's time.

What did you do?



MAN : We have a choice.

[Car tires screeching]



I hope you'll forgive me for this one last secret.
