Previously on
Black Lightning...

We have the Painkiller
operating system firewalled.

- Khalil!
- You can't keep me here forever.

I still have my mission.
Kill the Pierce family.

Dr. Blair? All you have to do
is extract the base from Tobias

and follow Dr. Stewart's protocols.

I watched Dr. Stewart work,
but I'm not her.

Jace killed my mother.

I came to Freeland to make sure
that I put Dr. Jace in the grave,

right alongside her.

I should've killed you
40 years ago, Dr. Jace.

We're fighting on the same side now.

If Markovia wins,
everything we know will cease to exist.

The Markovians now
have Freeland surrounded.

Gravedigger.
The United States is responsible

for starting and funding
the Markovian meta research program.

Their experiments activated
his dormant meta gene...

giving him superhuman strength,
slowing the aging process,

and the power to push his will
on to others.

And now, he's in charge
of the Markovian military.

I left the formula for
the meta-boost serum in Markovia.

What happens if Gravedigger
can have any meta power he wants?

He'd be unstoppable.

Am I good man?

Am I a fool?

Am I weak?

Or am I just playing it cool?

People are gonna wonder
why I did what I did.

They'll wonder why I brought all this
death and destruction to Freeland.

They'll wonder why I brought the pain.

I stopped caring about what people
think about me a long time ago.

But I do still care about the truth.

And the truth is this.

The US government experimented on me
almost 80 years ago,

granting me abilities
beyond that of a normal person.

I am officially...
unofficially, the first meta.

Stop!

Shoot yourself.

When I first joined the military,

one of the crap jobs
I was assigned to was the GRS,

Graves Registration Services.

Over 70 million people
died in World War Il.

The ones who weren't identified,
they'd bury.

On the US side,
they gave that honor to us Negroes.

The colored troops.

It was backbreaking,
soul-draining work, but...

it was an important task.

Because every soldier,
every person deserves a proper burial.

So, when I became a meta...

...the name Gravedigger fit
because of my history,

and because I just don't
figuratively bury my enemies,

I literally bury
each and every one of them.

No matter what they've done
to incur my wrath,

no matter how many of them there are,

I make sure each and every one of
my opponents receives a proper burial.

That is assuming
there's enough of them left to bury.

Am I a good man?
Am I a good man?

Am I a fool?

Am I weak?
Somebody tell me

Or am I just playin' it cool?

You know I love her
And I need her

Even though she do me so wrong

People always thought
I was crazy for doing that.

But to me, it felt like
the honorable thing to do.

It felt right.

What I'm about to do
to Freeland feels right, too.

We must assume
that Gravedigger is injecting himself

with whatever remains of the
meta formula you left in Markovia.

When I gave myself the shot,

the power lasted for an hour
because of my genetic makeup.

With Tobias, it was 20 minutes.

According to this model,

Gravedigger's absorption of meta powers
is limited to one power at a time,

lasting approximately
two to four weeks per injection.

Your model doesn't account for the fact
that Gravedigger is the original meta.

His genome is different
from other metas.

See?

The adjusted projection suggests
that Gravedigger would be able to absorb

and use all of the meta formula
he can inject himself with

at the same time, indefinitely...

and without overloading.

Oh, my God.

Gravedigger is en route
with a battalion of troops.

His first objective,

liberate the metas that he feels are
being unjustly held here in Freeland.

According to my intel,
he's vowed to destroy anyone

or anything that gets in his way
or refuses his offer of freedom.

His second objective is to reacquire
Lynn and Dr. Jace, if possible,

so that they can recreate the serum
for the sick metas in Markovia.

We're not gonna let
either one of those things happen.

The powers that be have decided that...

losing certain municipalities
would be acceptable...

if things were to go bad.

Wait, what does that mean?

That means that they would
rather nuke Freeland...

than let Gravedigger win.

The government is gonna bomb Freeland
if we don't beat Gravedigger?

That won't be the official story.

They'll say it was a nuclear accident
of some sort.

Freeland could very well become
the next Three Mile Island.

Get on the ground, now!
On the ground!

You should thank me.

If it wasn't for me,
those Markovians would have killed you.

You've ruined my life.

Well, I think you got me confused
with Tobias.

I've done nothing but get you through
the hard times,

- whether you realize it or not.
- You're a liar.

You can't walk
away from the truth, Khalil.

I'll still be here.

So, it looks like the government
is not gonna help us.

The ASA are too weakened to help us.

The only people we can count on
are in this room.

- Is this supposed to be a pep talk?
- This is real talk.

Okay, we're gonna form
two lines of defense.

Thunder, Grace and myself
will form the front line.

Lightning, Brandon, TC,
Erica will form the rear guard.

Dad, why are we in the back?

Keeping you in reserve.

Look, when the timing is right,
you will tip the balance in our favor.

- What are you talking about?
- Excuse me?

Dr. Jace killed my mother.

And she said she knows who my father is,
but she probably killed him, too.

And you're working with her
like everything's cool?

Look, Brandon,
I know this must be difficult for you,

- but countless people will die if...
- If what?

She killed my mom, and I don't even know
what we're fighting about, anyway.

Gravedigger is coming to Freeland
to take every meta back to Markovia.

- Whether they wanna go or not.
- Okay, what's wrong with that?

- Brandon, chill out.
- No.

You should have the right to choose
where you live.

He plans on killing anyone
who gets in his way

and any meta who doesn't want to go.

You know what?
I don't care about any of that.

I'm not doing this.

Hey, really?

Well, that was a good talk.

We're screwed.

I am sure there will be

some Uncle Toms
who will resist my efforts.

My message to them is simple:
Join or die.

You see, General Mosin wanted to create
a meta army, but that's not what I want.

My objective is to free all the metas
who've been experimented on

and held in pods for decades

and are still being kept
against their will in Freeland

by any means necessary.

This oppression, this discrimination,

this hypocrisy by the US government
ends now.

What I'm about to do to Freeland
is for Freeland,

and even though some people won't
understand it while it's happening,

my conscience is clear
because my cause is righteous.

Once the dust settles
and the dead are buried,

I will be on the right side of history.

Last night, I saw a superhero
He was black

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

Okay, Thunder, Grace and I
will attack along here,

probing the Markovians
for their strengths and weaknesses.

And then Jennifer and the younger metas
will exploit those weaknesses.

- Divide and conquer.
- Yeah, exactly.

What if they don't have
any weaknesses you can exploit?

They... They will.

Look, if we don't think we can win,

then Jennifer and her crew
will lead a retreat from Freeland.

- You okay?
- Yeah.

What?

We have been through
a lot of battles together, Jeff,

but this one feels different.

Different how?

I don't know, but this Gravedigger...

I'm not saying he's right,
but he's not exactly wrong, either.

The government, the ASA,
we have done terrible things to metas.

Yeah, but, Gambi,
he's not attacking them.

He's attacking Freeland.

So, as far as I'm concerned,

he's just as bad as the government
or the ASA and he has to be stopped.

Even if you're right, we've never faced
anyone quite like this.

Which is exactly why you need me
on the front line.

- Jennifer.
- I'm the strongest meta.

- Why do you have me on rear guard?
- I just told you.

If I wasn't your daughter,
would I still be in the back?

Yes.

I feel like you're making me
sit at the kids' table.

No, that's not it at all.

Look, I need you to trust me
that I know what I'm doing.

Can you do that?

Sure.

I actually agree with her.

It doesn't make sense
to keep your most powerful meta

- off the front line, unless...
- Unless what?

Unless you don't think
you can beat Gravedigger, either.

Anissa and I have some recruiting to do.
I'll see you later.

- Be safe, Jeff.
- Yeah. Always.

- You wouldn't lie to me now, would you?
- Never.

He said he was a... doctor of some kind.

This means a lot to me, you know that?

Ah-ah.

Make sure she get back to the O
without Destiny or Lady Eve knowing.

- I got you.
- All right.

Come on.

Things must be pretty bad

for y'all to come all the way down here
to talk to us lower folks.

So, what can I do for you?

There's a war coming to Freeland.
We could use your troops.

We want you to join a fight
against the Markovians.

Y'all want us to fight for your cause?

Come on, Lala,
we want you to fight for Freeland.

Nah. I'm good.

I'm gonna leave that superhero stuff
to y'all jokers in costumes.

I'm gonna focus on making sure
that the folks in Freeland are eating.

There won't be nothing to eat
if Freeland is destroyed.

I told you this was gonna be
a waste of time.

Lala don't give a damn
about nobody but Lala.

You better listen
to your sidekick.

- Sweetheart's sharp.
- Thunder.

You're lucky I got
bigger things

to take care of because if I didn't,

I'd take out you and your whole crew
with my bare hands.

- Oh, whoa, whoa.
- Whoa.

Hold on, now.

She got a temper on her,
don't she?

Yeah, she do.

Them powers got you all swole up.

Just because you're a meta
don't mean you can't get got.

If I get got, it ain't gonna be by you.

- Okay, hold on a minute.
- Now, you wait a minute.

Y'all think y'all can
just come up in here

and body us into doing
whatever the hell y'all want us to do?

- That's what they thought, didn't they?
- Couldn't have been.

'Cause these joints right here
blow they meta heads clean off.

I promise you don't want
none of this smoke.

All right, that's enough.
We ain't got time for this.

You're a businessman.

The government will turn Freeland
into a radioactive crater.

Now, how you gonna do business then?

Oh, that's a nice hustle.

But y'all two can take it to go.

So, it's like that.

Oh, yeah. It's like that.

Oh, Brandon.

How did you get past security?

Wasn't hard.

You're gonna tell me everything
I want to know about my family.

Or you'll never see your family again.

- So, you're back from the dead.
- Indeed.

At least now,
we know where Lazarus has been.

You are persona non grata.
You've been excommunicated.

I'm aware.

- I want back in.
- I want world peace.

But you can't always get what you want.

Sure, you can.

I know that war is coming to Freeland.

So does everybody with a radio.
So, what?

I also know some other things.

I'm sure you know
all kinds of little tidbits.

Drugging ASA agents
who came to visit your establishment

must have given you
an endless source of chit-chat.

Facts.

One of the tidbits I learned is that...

you and the ASA have decided
to cut and run.

If that were true,
I wouldn't still be in Freeland.

You would if there were something here
you still wanted.

Like what?

Before we talk about what you want...

- let's talk about what I want.
- Which is?

My seat back at the table
with the rest of the Shadow Board.

That's a big ask.

I doubt if you have anything
valuable enough to exchange for that.

If you die in this war,

I'll use Lazarus
to bring you back to life.

I have contingencies in place,

and I've made peace with
my own mortality a long time ago.

For a moment, I thought you were gonna
offer me something more tangible.

- Like the location of the briefcase.
- Yes.

If I give you the location
of the briefcase,

I want my seat back on the Shadow Board
and my cartel back in the game.

You were a competent earner
for our clandestine activities.

Once I verify and acquire
the briefcase...

we'll put you back in business.

How you feeling, babe?

Tired. Sore.

Fighting bad guys is a lot of work.
I don't know how you do it.

I just focus on the results.

Being able to rescue Thierry, Anaya,
and the rest of the Perdi.

That's what makes it worth it for me.
Here, take this. It'll help.

Thanks.

And for the past few months,
my body's been acting strange.

Like, I don't even know my own strength.

- Really?
- Yeah. Watch this.

Whoa. whoa.

Babe, babe, wait. Whoa. Whoa,
Watch the candles.

No, no, no, I got it.
I got it.

See, you're breaking everything.

- Careful.
- I couldn't do this two months ago.

Whoo.

You know, all that shapeshifting has to
put a lot of strain on your muscles.

And given your unique morphology, babe,

my best guess is
it's your body reinforcing itself.

Reinforcing itself? What does that mean?

- I think you're evolving.
- Evolving into what?

That, I don't know,
but your body is definitely changing.

Hey.

What?

I know you got a lot going on right now,

but there's something
I need to tell you.

Okay.

- I'm just gonna say it.
- Say what?

The DNA sample I took from Gravedigger
matches your DNA.

- What?
- When I examined his chromosomes,

I discovered that you
and Gravedigger were related.

No, that's not possible.

I redid the test five times.
It's a match.

Jeff, it makes sense.

The reason you, and Anissa and Jennifer
are the only stable metas in Freeland

is because you're related
to the original meta, Gravedigger.

I had a great-uncle that everyone said
died during World War Il.

But now, I think about it...
no one actually said he died.

They said he never came back.

Gravedigger's your great-uncle.

I'm worried about
what might happen tomorrow.

Yeah, me, too.

But you know what?

Being here with you
has me all blissed out.

It's like when I'm with you,
all bad things go away.

I could do this forever.

Me, too.

I mean it.

I could really see myself doing this
for the rest of my life.

Mmm, I know.

Wait a minute, what are you saying?

What do you think I'm saying?

Okay!

I still can't believe this is happening.

We're gonna be in a war, tomorrow.

Yeah, I know what you mean.
We could die.

Wow.

I just got out of the pod. There's still
so much stuff I need to do.

Yeah, I've never even kissed a girl.

- Really?
- What?

Did you just try to use the fact that
we might die tomorrow to scam a kiss?

Yes. Yes, I did.

But it's true.

I've never kissed a girl.
Come on, you can't be mad at that.

It was worth a shot.

- Oh, okay.
- Now, you can die happy.

- Wait, does that mean you like me?
- That means I took pity on you.

But does that count, though?

- I mean, I wasn't ready...
- You're not getting another kiss.

- Am I interrupting something?
- No.

Yes.

- Did you find Brandon?
- Uh-uh.

- Y'all seen my dad?
- Mmm, he went home.

I still don't understand
why we're in the back.

- Why are you so anxious to fight?
- Because she's mad aggressive.

- No, I'm not.
- Yeah, you kinda are.

Okay, whatever.
Can I please talk to you for a second?

Yeah. Be right back.

Excuse us.

Yo, don't you see
I'm trying to do something?

- TC, that girl don't want you.
- Yes, she do.

Can you use your powers
to find Gravedigger?

- I think so.
- I need to know when he's in Freeland.

- Why?
- Don't ask me any questions.

I just need to know, okay?

- Can you help me, or not?
- Yeah, I'll help you.

Cool.

Any time
you got something difficult done.

Any time you really had to dig deep.

Any time it was life or death.

That was me and I got you through it.

That's not true.

I did that on my own.

You don't even believe that.

See, deep down, you know
that I'm the rage you tapped into...

to make you a track star.

I'm the same rage that helped you
stay up all night to get all those 'A's.

I'm the rage that kept you alive
during those surgeries.

Spinal replacement
and every last enhancement.

That was me.

Not you, me.

You're not even real.

Yeah, we'll see just how real I am
once I kill the Pierce family.

I won't let that happen.

You don't have a choice.

No! No! No!

I'll be sure to let the Pierces know
you said hello.

Come here!

No. No!

Hey.

Are you okay?

I don't know.

Anissa wanted us to go over
and have dinner with her and Grace.

Could be our last
family dinner together.

We should invite Brandon, and TC and
Erica. Those kids have nowhere to go.

Yeah. Yeah, that's a good idea.

There's something else
I need to talk to you about.

Is Tobias my cousin?

No. Tobias is not your cousin.

I know you have a code.

It's one of the things
that I love about you.

Uh-huh.

Gravedigger is potentially
the most powerful meta on the planet.

He has the serum, which means
he has access to every meta power.

Lynn, what are you saying?

If Gravedigger is successful,
thousands of people could be killed.

Including our daughters.

- You don't know that.
- Yes, Jeff...

I do.

You just told me
you would never ask me to kill.

And I meant it. I still mean it.

But things have changed, Jeff.

If it comes down
to Gravedigger or you... or our girls...

No, you said you would always
protect our family.

All I'm asking you to do
is protect our family.

You should get changed.
Anissa's expecting us.

- Hey!
- Hey!

- Hey!
- Hey, you little cutie.

- Hey, honey, good to see you.
- Okay. Hey, sis.

- Hey, Grace.
- It smells good in here.

- What's up, Grace?
- Nice place.

Welcome. Thank you. Welcome.

- For a dump.
- Oh...

- Stop.
- Hey, Peter.

I'm gonna tear it up.

All right, get comfortable.
Grace is cooking dinner.

You know, guys, given the circumstances,

I just figured it'd be nice for us
to have a home-cooked meal.

- Right?
- Yeah.

- You mean like the Last Supper?
- Jennifer.

It's the truth.

No, Jennifer,
it's not like the Last Supper.

It's actually quite opposite.

So, Grace and I have something
we wanna tell you.

We're getting married!

Oh, my God! Congrats!

- Finally! Oh, my God.
- Thank you, sis!

- Congrats, y'all.
- Thank you.

Okay, all right, so, Uncle Gambi already
agreed to officiate the ceremony...

and it's happening here, tonight.

- Sit down, dinner's almost ready.
- Whoo!

Yeah, bring this bread.
Get us to move.

All right.

You know that's not necessary.

Yes, it is.

Living close to the earth, I see.

That's how I like it.

You know,
you really could have just called.

Baby, you might not have picked up.

This way, I know I got your full,
undivided attention.

You know I don't like to go anywhere
without my twins.

Are you okay?

Yes.

Has... Lala been a gentleman?

Uh-uh

Except for the gun, yes.

A little bird told me that you know
some information that I need to know.

And I thought you were smarter
than to listen to little birdies.

Depends on the bird.

Word is...

you know the identity of the last man
that saw Tobias before he left Freeland.

Mmm-mmm-mmm.

And I thought we were gonna be friends.

We are friends.

And if you tell me
what I need to know...

we can keep it that way.

- Hey, can I talk to you for a second?
- Yeah.

I'm so happy that you found someone
to marry, but...

I have to admit, I...

It's happening fast, Mom. I know.

I don't know anything about Grace.

All you need to know is that I love her.

Mom, look.

We are about to go to war.

None of us knows
how that's gonna turn out.

But what I do know
is that if something bad happens

and I don't marry her,
I'll regret it for the rest of my life.

Would you be doing this
if there wasn't a war?

Yes, hands down.
Maybe not as soon, but yes, definitely.

Okay.

I get it.

And I couldn't be happier for you.

Or Grace.

Congratulations.

- Thank you, Mom.
- I love you.

Hey, congrats again.

Thanks.

It must be so nice to be
close to your sister and your family.

Yeah, it is.

I mean, it's not always easy,
but I wouldn't trade it for anything.

Anissa talks about you all the time.

I admire what you guys have.
I wish I had siblings.

Well, hey. Now, you do.

Yeah. I guess I do.

Hey.

- Hey, Dad.
- Hey.

I've never had any real family,

so, I'm excited and grateful
to be joining your family.

Thanks for accepting me.
Leopard and all.

Of course, of course.

- Jennifer.
- Any word on Gravedigger?

No, not yet.
What are you planning on doing?

Look, just let me know
when you hear something.

You don't have to go through all this
to get the information you want.

Maybe.

This is the only way I can make sure
if you're telling the truth.

'Cause if you're not...

Or you just like to see me suffer,
you sadistic little brat.

You did kill my mother.

So, I'd watch how you talk to me.

The sun is goin'

The sun is goin'

The sun is goin'

Or that we catch a vibe
We're wastin' time

'Cause all we know is

In the zone
In this life, arms open wide

In the zone
Caught off and I'm floatin' by

In the zone
In this life, arms open wide

Look, Jeff, I think that we can disable
Markovian communications...

Okay, Gambi... Gambi?

I think now's a time to just
enjoy Anissa and Grace's wedding...

- and each other's company.
- You're right, Jeff.

Congratulations. You've raised
two amazing daughters.

Thanks.

All right, uh, this is getting
a little sweet for me.

I'm gonna step out for some air.

- Hey.
- Gravedigger just made landfall.

He's 30 klicks outside of Freeland
and headed towards the perimeter.

All right. If anyone asks,
you don't know where I am.

- Are you sure you wanna do this?
- Yes, TC, I have to.

If I don't, I might lose
everyone I care about.

The feelin' just don't stop it now

Baby, yeah, we can go up

Mmm
Baby, yeah, we can go up

This is it

This time I know it's for real

And I can't explain what I'm feeling

I'm lost for words

I'm in a daze...

Gravedigger's at the perimeter.

It's go time.

Wait, where's Jennifer? Jen?

- She's not here.
- Oh, damn it.

Gambi, send me Jennifer's 20.

Grace, Anissa, meet me at the perimeter.

You two, you're on standby.

If you tell me
where Tobias will be...

when he comes back to Freeland...

then Devonte won't hit you no more,
Dr. Blair.

Does that work for you?

I don't know where Tobias is.

I swear, I don't.

I would tell you.

Shh.

I almost believe you.

Make sure.

Where he at?

- Jennifer?
- TC.

Yeah. I don't really know you that well,
but this seems really dangerous.

That's 'cause it is.
That's how this works.

Sometimes, you have to
do dangerous stuff.

Okay. Well, be careful. Be safe.

Thanks.

And, hey, if things don't work out...

just tell my family I love 'em.

All right, little girl,
I'm gonna say this one time.

"Little girl."

This little girl's
about to kick your ass.

I didn't come here to fight you.

I came here to liberate
all the metas in Freeland.

No, you didn't.
You're here to kidnap metas,

whether they want to go with you or not,
and I'm not gonna let that happen.

You don't understand
what's happening here.

They have... experimented on us.

They've held us in captivity
for decades.

They've stolen our lives.

How can you stay here...

Okay.

I guess we're gonna fight.

Gambi, the perimeter's going down.

I got a bogie at nine o'clock.
What is that?

- I'm checking now.
- What is it, a missile?

Hold on.

Oh, my God, Jeff... that's Jen!

I got you, baby girl. I got you.

Are you getting anything?

No. No, I got nothing.

You have to restart her heart.

Shock her!

Come on, baby girl.
You gotta fight! Fight!

All right, I got a pulse. I got a pulse.
Gambi, she's alive! She's alive.

Good for her.
