Previously on
Black Lightning...

Besides Gravedigger, how many metas

- are stable enough to fight?
- None, I'm afraid.

Lynn's been kidnapped
by the Markovians.

There is a substance
that Tobias' body produces

that is key in making
the stabilization serum.

I know that you have developed
a meta stabilization serum in America.

You will prepare it for us here.

So, there's a chip in him.
Why don't we just take it out?

The chip is connected
to Khalil's brain.

Removing it would kill him.

Firewall.

After everything that's happened,
how could you possibly work with them?

Because getting her back
is the only thing that matters.

Listen up.

We're goin' on to foreign soil to engage
a ruthless enemy who knows we're coming.

So, the ASA support is our best chance
of getting in and out alive.

Let's get to work.

You know, me and my woman

We've been goin' through a lot
Of changes for about six months or so

It's been real hard
To talk to one another

You know a relationship ain't nothin'
Without communication

How we we're lying in the bed

The both of us lookin'
At the ceiling overhead

Eyes wide open
About three o'clock in the mornin'...

Black Lightning.

Black Lightning!

I never particularly cared
for that name.

The news...

the news called me that 22 years ago.

It stuck.

Twenty-two years.

Feels like a thousand.

And then some. Mmm.

Said we cried

Cried, cried

We cried together

All the blood...

broken bones...

broken hearts...

death.

All the death.

There was Lynn, witness to it all.

We tried to balance a normal life.

You know, kids, career.

But nothing... nothing mixes well
with Black Lightning.

So we fought.

We made up.

We got divorced, got back together.

Just couldn't stop loving each other.

Tomorrow we'll feel better
'Cause it's a brand new day

Oh, last night

Me and my woman

We cried together

I grew up around drug dealers
and drug addicts, you know that.

I mean, I...

I've seen drugs devastate people...

families.

I know the depth of addiction.

That's you, Jefferson.

I also know...

How dare you?

...that Black Lightning's
powers are useless in that fight.

No, Lynn, don't leave.

Every day the sun doesn't shine

Sometimes it has to rain

But they are not useless in the fight
in front of me right now.

This war... for Freeland.

This war for Freeland took her from me!

If I have to break bones...

burn skin, draw blood...

if I have to kill, I will.

I'm getting her back.

You're right, Jeff. We'll get her back.

Big day tomorrow.
You should get some sleep.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Last night I saw a superhero
He was black

He said "This is for the street
Black Lightning's back"

Well, we've got nowhere to go but up.

Why don't we just reduce the difficulty
until they get the hang of it?

This isn't a damn video game!

We're training for a mission
we cannot fail.

Run it again.

Mr. Pierce, a word?

Major, I'm busy.

Everything we have on Painkiller,
as agreed.

And you'll provide amnesty
for my entire team?

As agreed.

Though your use of the word
"team" is a joke.

It takes weeks
for seasoned professionals

to train for a rescue op.

We have to launch this op
before the Markovians find a way

to force Dr. Stewart
to stabilize their metas,

and half your people can't fight
their way out of a paper bag.

Let me worry about that.

Say the word and I will give you
my best ASA commandos.

They'll get you to the target,
you can do the rest.

My mission, my team.

Good luck with that.

This spectrometer
is in dire need of an upgrade.

You haven't said anything all morning.

Are you not talking to me?

My research shows that
friendly human connections

start with a salutation of some sort.

So, good morning.

I'm a prisoner miles from home,
so, no, it isn't.

Greetings, doctors.

Any progress?

I'm afraid not.

You will make a stabilization serum.

Kiss my ass.

If you kill her, she can't help us.

Then I'm just in time.

Colonel.

Heard about Dr. Stewart.

I'll take it from here.

This is my operation, Gravedigger.

I have things well in hand.

No, you don't.

Note the presidential signature.

This is my operation now.
You are under my command.

I want a full briefing of this facility.

You have an hour to get it together.

Now, get the hell out of my face.

You've still not aged.

Don't analyze me.

I'm not one of your
subjects anymore, Jace.

I won't say it's good to see you,
because it isn't.

Dr. Stewart.

Your reputation precedes you.

Welcome to Markovia.

You sound American.

I was.

But that's a long story for later.

After you've cured my people.

Your people?

There are 94 metahumans here in pods

who could live healthy lives
with your stabilization cure.

You think I'm stupid!

You're weaponizing them.

Freedom ain't free.

Spare me the rationalization.
I'm not open to persuasion.

It's interesting
that you'd say that.

Make the cure
as fast as you can.

What are you staring at?

ASA troops
continue to patrol the streets,

protecting the citizens...

Hey.

Hey.

How you doing?

Perfect.

Just catching up with
what's going on in the world.

I feel like I've been
in a bubble for years.

I know the timing's really bad...

but our rescue team
ain't looking so good.

I need to ask you a favor.

No.

No, the last thing I need to do
is go on another kill mission again.

Khalil, you know I'm not asking you
to kill anybody.

This is to get my mom back.

Please.

You have more training
than all of us put together.

J, I want you to get your mother back.

Really, I do.

But I am more of a liability
than I am an asset.

- What are you talking about?
- He's still in my head, Jen.

I can't be trusted.

We've both killed for the ASA.

But I lied to my family about it.

They've lied to me. Odell lied to you.
At least you've been honest.

So as far as I'm concerned, I trust you.

I killed my own mother, Jen.

Then help me save mine.

Please.

No.

Are you experiencing discomfort?

A migraine, perhaps?

Headache.

Whole head or part?

Front.

You know what happened. Tell me.

That was Gravedigger,

a metahuman with
enhanced strength and speed,

with the power to push
whoever is in earshot.

- Push?
- Mental domination.

Auditory stimulation
overrides the frontal lobe.

That's why I can't stop working
even though I don't want to.

Give me the Glimmer.

- Lynn, you're not due for more...
- Just give it to me!

Careful or you'll OD. Lynn!

Lynn?

I don't have to finish.

The Glimmer causes hyperactivity
in the frontal lobe.

An antidote to being pushed.

Which means while he thinks we're making
the cure, we can make something else.

Perhaps best not to test it.

Allow me to suggest
a man does not get the name Gravedigger

because he's kind and gentle.

Then you better hope
we don't get caught.

"We"? So, we're bonding now?

We're in the same boat for now.

But it has a major leak in it.

Resisting Gravedigger's push
isn't enough.

We're gonna have to use it
to get out of here.

Awkward.

Stupid.

Not eating nothing.

- Hey.
- Hey, Jen.

Really?

You still holding on to this?

All I was trying to do was protect you.

Since you're gonna bring it up
in front of your girlfriend,

I don't need protecting.

All those times you watched me
break down over Khalil

and it never dawned on you
to tell me he's alive?

Jen, I was about to, okay?

But Painkiller damn near killed me,
he killed Tavon,

and damn thing killed Khalil's mom.

So in my mind, Jen, he was not alive.

Look, I figured you were better off
just not knowing.

You think that's up to you
to decide for me?

You're just like Dad.

Hey, Jen! Yo!

Hey.

You better dig deep, dude.

You've turned down joining the fight
in every simulation we've run.

Man, get out of my face.

You know, every team
is as good as its weakest link.

Just have the pride
to not consistently be it.

Don't come at me with that pride stuff.

I know what the ASA's about.

I'm not trying to get killed for you.

Then why bother to go?

I don't have to explain nothing to you.

I will grant you the ASA has been
doing wrong, but that's why I'm here.

To use my experience to help.

Oh.

So now you want to help?

Okay, so how many kids have you killed?

Helped kill.

Exactly.

Come on, man! Do something!

I dare you.

Really?

Does Jen know you're leaving?

No.

I'm not too good with goodbyes.

I think you owe her more than that.

Yeah...

I do, too.

Where you gonna go?

I don't know.

But I gotta get out of Freeland.

For good this time.

Why?

Why would I stay?

I want to apologize to you.

You want to apologize to me?

Yeah.

I...

I feel like I didn't do enough for you.

It's like I said at the hospital
the night I died.

You did what you could.

So apology not accepted.

You won't be hunted.

I had your name removed
from the ASA register.

You will have a chance
at somewhat of a normal life.

Free from them.

Thanks.

That means a lot.

But I'll never actually be
free and clear from Painkiller.

I can't even trust myself.

What good will I be to anybody?

Well, you would be a lot of good
to us in Markovia.

Yeah, there's enough blood
on my hands, Mr. P.

Look, Khalil, we can't...

We can't undo past mistakes.

All we can do is just move forward
and try to do better.

Look, I just want you to know
that you would be a big help.

But I respect your desire to take off.

If you ever find yourself
this way again...

you will find our door open.

How many?

I didn't hear you come in.

I know.

How many cures have you created?

Uh...

Two so far.

That's all?

Work faster.

To work faster,
I'm going to need your blood.

My blood?

I took a look at your medical files.

Your blood has a property
that can supercharge serum production.

Why were you looking
at my medical files?

You're a stable meta.

All right.

She's likely being held
in one of three labs.

There's a notable concentration
of energy consumption in Lab A.

That's probably our best bet.

The closest entrance is here.

Recommended egress here.

Tough fight to get there.

Let's just go out the way we came in.

That's generally considered
a no-no in special operations.

So they won't be expecting it.

Anything else?

Yes, we also need Tobias Whale.

No, my mission is to get my wife back.
That's it.

The Markovians can do whatever
they want with his evil albino ass.

He's the only one
with the unique bone marrow

needed for the stabilization cure.

If you leave him there,
we won't be able to stabilize our metas,

and they'll all die.

If you're all right with that,
by all means, leave him there.

What do you want now?

I just wanted to give you these.

Enter.

I snagged them
from one of the other rooms.

I figured you could use them.

- Thanks.
- All right, no problem.

The boots will enhance your speed
and the vambraces will...

I know what vambraces do.

Um...

I appreciate it.

Hey! What the hell?

Get out!

Now!

Freaking weirdo.

Now the whole team is here.

We can go.

Whose idea
was it for Painkiller to come?

Mine.

Why? You know we can't trust him.

Don't worry about it.

If he gets out of pocket,
there's a way to shut him down.

Yeah... y'all sure better hope so.

I feel like I should tell you something.

What?

Major Grey had Erica chipped
and programmed with a kill order.

I was given the same order.

Kill me?

Dr. Stewart.

If she can't be saved,
Erica and I are to terminate.

I won't, but...

But she will.

I'm sorry, I would have
told you in The Pit,

but Major Grey would have known.

Actually, you don't have
to worry about it.

I kinda already deactivated
the chip in Erica.

What?

When you were watching us on your phone.

How did you know I was watching you?

Your phone told me.

Remember when I touched her hair?

I do remember that.

It was kind of creepy.
She thought so, too.

Well, when I touched her hair,
I wasn't trying to be romantic.

I mean, she's not really my type.
I love a woman who can...

Get on with it, son.

Well, I seen the chip,
I figured it was bad,

so I deactivated it.

You're welcome.

Gambi's teaching you well.

Thank you.

Now, I got some business
to take care of.

I know it was tough decision for you,
but I'm glad you decided to come.

My mom, she always liked
and respected your mom.

She'd want me to be here.

Plus, I want to be the guy
that saves people...

not the one that kills them.

Hey! You okay?

Nobody's okay in here!

The plane was one thing... but this?
People weren't meant to fly!

If we were, we'd be born with wings!

I don't understand...

You've never flown before?

Hey. Brandon, what's going on?

His powers are earth-based.

Makes sense that his body
would rebel against air travel.

All right, everything's gonna be fine.
You just need to calm down, okay?

Brandon?

Did you just poison him?

I can't poison, only Painkiller can.

That was Kyusho Jitsu.

Talk to me.

I should be the one to go after Lynn.

Under any other circumstances,
I would agree.

But they can find another Lynn,
they can't find another Tobias Whale.

Besides, as strong as the girls are,
tactically, they're still inexperienced.

Tobias is far too dangerous
for them to handle by themselves.

I just want to get there already,
know that she's safe and bring her home.

I'm proud of you, you know that?

I haven't done anything
for you to be proud of.

But you have.

Over, and over, and over again,
ever since you were 12 years old.

And now, you're not only a hero,

you have the stature
to lead other heroes.

I am proud of you.

And Alvin would be, too.

What is a hero these days?

You are.

Thanks, old man.

We're landing in 30.

We'll be blacked out
from Markovian air defense

for the next two hours.

If this doesn't work, they'll kill me.

It's working already.

Then can I have some?

No.

Dr. Jace? You're wanted in Lab B.

Come on, go. Move along.

TC and I will navigate you
through the compound,

alert you to any threats.

Let you know
as soon as we get our eyes on Lynn.

Okay.

Grace, hold your position
as long as you can.

Copy.

I'll drop down
and take out the first wave.

Thunder, Erica, you're with me.
We're going after Tobias.

Jennifer, Khalil, Brandon, Grayle,
you're going after Lynn.

Stay focused, be ready.

We're not going home empty-handed.

Let's do this.

I'm in.

About 30 meters, then make a left.

Wait, we got a door.

It's not on my schematics.

I just hit it with
a hundred-million volts,

it didn't even heat up.

My guess is it's grounded
to diffuse energy blasts into the earth.

Yeah, well, ground this.

I found Dr. Stewart.

- Where?
- She's in Lab A.

- What about Dr. Jace?
- Jace, Jace... Uh, Lab B.

Okay, we'll... Brandon, wait!

I'm on him. Stay on mission.

Come on. I'll take point.

Stand down! Stand down!

- Stop!
- What's going on?

Sounds like the cavalry's here.

Quiet, squid!

Whoever it is, they will regret this.

You, you, take it to the bunker.

Yeah.

- Damn.
- All right, same time.

What are we gonna do?

- Can we find another way around?
- Negative.

Wait, Erica, get ready to absorb.
Thunder, hit her.

- Wait, what?
- Hit her!

Yeah, again. Hard as you can.

- More.
- Wait, wait, we're just wasting time.

We're gonna get caught.

Wait, I know. I think I get it.

Her powers are organic
like photosynthesis,

so it'll follow the Fibonacci sequence?

Exactly.
Every blow Erica absorbs

creates exponential growth
in her powers.

Load her up.
Tell us when you had enough.

I can't hold anymore.

Then don't. Handle that door.

Well, okay, then.

Whoo!

They're moving Tobias.

Probably to a more secure location.

We can't let them get there.

And you've got Markovians
coming your way.

Go. We got this.

Go!

Come on.

Dr. Stewart, we are moving you.

Take what you need to keep working
and be quick about it.

Get rid of your detail.

No! I didn't mean...

Stand still!

So hard to be doing
what you really meant for, beauty

Now you're gonna lead me out of here.

Let me get down

If I get too high now sugar come on

I might never come down

You're almost there.
You're 20 meters away, but...

But we have company. I feel them.

Feel them?

Excuse me.

You may never ever come down

There's more closing in from behind.

He's right.
Now, Dr. Stewart is on the move.

Hey, go. I'll hold 'em off.

You'll be all right?

Why wouldn't I be?

Never mind. Just take care.

Let me get the full scope, hold up

Huh, full screen, HD,
let me take another picture

Let me pull it to the pre-show

Stand down, son.

Yeah, I'm not your son.

By the way
you're standing and your respiration,

you're not all there.

Bionics, lots of 'em.

Not enough nervous system
for me to push...

not enough sense to run.

Clearly, you're
what they call a millennial.

You talk too much.

It took too long
to get this high off the ground

Don't run, just stay awhile

Not bad.

You don't want to do this.

Like I said... you talk too much.

Heads up, the security detail
moving Tobias is around the next corner.

Move.

We gotta go. We stand a better chance
of getting out of here

if I'm not carrying your ass. This way.

It's actually
nice to see you, Jefferson.

Even if that was my name,

we're not on a first name basis, bro.

Negro, stop lying.

You don't want your cover blown,

don't keep coming out the woodwork
to save the Pierce girls.

And now you come all this way
to save that fine-ass ex-wife of yours.

I get it.

I've had a lot of quality time
with her myself.

What, she didn't tell you?

Well, it actually is ex-wife.

She's quite charming,
for being a dope fiend.

Maybe I should just barbeque your ass.

Come on, now, Jeff.

You could have
just blasted those soldiers,

but you and I both know

your black ass used hand-to-hand combat
to avoid hitting me.

Is your name Jace?

It is. What can I do for you?

You can die, bitch!

Stop!

Brandon, stop!

Stop!

Who the hell is that?

Keep up!

I'm impressed.
You're fast, strong, well-taught.

But experience is the best teacher.

Look, I got your measure, kid.

Stay down if you want to live.

Am I a hero?

Am I a hero now?

Heard a lot about you, Black Lightning.

Hate we have to meet like this.

To die a hero

Is all that we know now

- Mom!
- Jen! No, no, no. No.

Stand still.

Is he with you?

Not at all.

- Come on, we need to go.
- No, wait, wait.

Shock yourself.
And don't stop until you pass out.

Harsh. You have powers now?

For another 20 minutes.

Which way?

Come on, there's a chopper waiting.

- Your sister has your mother.
- What about Grace?

Erica got to her. She's on the chopper.

Get out of there, Anissa. We have to go.

All right, I'm on my way.

To die a hero

Is all that we know now

Where's Black Lightning and Thunder?

She's on her way.

Black Lightning's
not answering his comms.

All right, I'll go in after him.

Hold on!

You can't chase your tail
in an op like this,

otherwise nobody goes home.

Hey, what's going on?

Dad's missing
and this fool wants me to stay put.

He's right. Just give him a minute!

Everybody stand still.

Walk away.

That doesn't work on me, Dr. Stewart.

Look, I'm not a murderer.

If you come with me,

everybody gets to go back
where they came from.

You don't...

everybody dies.

No, Khalil, it's too late.

I'll go.

Close the door and take off.

Am I a hero?

Brother, you are everything
they said you were!

But so am I.

Nobody touches my wife!

Am I a hero?

I love you.

Am I a hero now?

I love you. Let's go home.

Am I a hero?

Am I a hero now?

To die a hero

Is all that we know now
