Previously on
Black Lightning...

Tobias just unleashed a
different kind of meta on Freeland

for some kind of demonstration.

I think he's created
a mercenary army.

There were four of them.

They called themselves
the Masters of Disaster.

How are they?

They're actually better
than they've ever been before.

Good. How long until they can be
awakened and join the prison metas?

It's done. What's next?

Freeland, huh?

Every meta-human
in Freeland is in danger.

Wendy could prove
to be more revolutionary

than the tank
or the machine gun.

There's nothing but pain
for me in this life.

And who do you blame for that?

Tobias Whale.

Where Tobias goes,

heartache is sure to follow.

Then maybe he's better off dead.

I'm gonna make him pay.

I'm gonna put
Tobias Whale in the ground.

It's Jen. She's here...

She's wearing the suit.
It's not ready.

I will find you.

Don't shoot. Please, man, it's cool.
It's cool.

It don't look cool.

Just tell me one thing.
Are you with Tobias Whale?

Definitely not
with Tobias Whale.

Jen.

Jennifer, it's your Uncle Gambi.
I'm here.

People, Jennifer has a critical situation.
Lock in on my location.

On my way.

I'm coming.

It's okay. It's gonna be okay, sweetheart.
You hear me, Jen?

Go to your safe space.

You have to get out of here.
Hurry.

What about you?

I'm not really here, just a
manifestation of your mind,

and you can't be here either.

Get out of yourself, now.

How?

The answer is already...

Is already inside of me.
I know that.

I'm literally dying here.

All right. Bat your eyelashes
and curl your toes.

How is that gonna help?

Flexing your power is as simple

as finding the right muscle
and flexing it.

So feel it. Flex it.
Pull it in.

And get the hell out of here!

Uncle Gambi?

Uncle Gambi?

Uncle Gambi, wake up. Wake up.

Uncle Gambi, wake up.

Jennifer.

What happened? Are you okay?

He tried to help me,
but I think he's dead.

No, no.
I can see he still has a pulse.

Lynn, I found Gambi unconscious
with radiation burns.

Oh, my God. He needs a doctor.

That would raise
a lot of questions.

No, he's not that bad.
I'll give him a shot for the pain.

- Are you sure?
- Positive.

Okay. Put Gambi in the van.
You go with 'em.

- Tell the van to take you to the sanctum.
- Okay.

Make sure they get there.
Make sure she stays there.

I'll take care of Gambi,
but what about you?

Tobias bugged out.
I wanna check it out

and see if he left any evidence
behind that'll stick.

- Go.
- All right.

I'll hit you when we get there.
Come on. All right.

Yeah, I don't give a damn
who the hell it was.

Running me out of my own building
because a dead man is comin'.

I don't run from dead men,
I make 'em.

You need to shut up or thank me.
One or the other.

You gotta have a plan when you deal
with a meta-human or an enhanced.

Maybe you're right.

I've killed Black Lightning
and I've had him killed,

but that bastard
keeps comin' back to cost me.

He cost me Joey Toledo,
he cost me Syonide,

now he wants to cost me this city.

District Attorney
just announced...

no charges for the cops
that shot that Cape Guy.

- It's typical.
- Hmm.

This boy's death
is an opportunity.

The community could
really explode over this

like LA did in the '90s.

All it needs is a little push.

The whole city will be
on its knees.

While we send metas
to reclaim the pods.

Yeah, and Black Lightning
is sure to show up.

But I'm done with him
takin' from me.

This time, I'm gonna
take his powers from him.

I'm positive he generates his
power from the city's power grid.

Send Coldsnap to freeze the main
generator until there's complete darkness.

Then I'm takin' his life
for good.

Dad, we're in.

Good.
Stay put.

Will do.

Damn.

I thought the Markovians
had you.

- Lynn.
- Yes, Jeff?

You are not gonna believe
what I just found.

I have your GPS. I'm on my way.

You think he's gonna be okay?

Shoot.

I wouldn't be surprised
if he told us he was Batman.

He'll be fine, all right?

You know, this is another one
I owe Tobias for.

Look, you're right, baby sis,
but I need you to calm down, all right?

No, I'm fine. I'm...

Seeing him out of the blue like
that kind of caught me off guard.

But it's cool.
I'm not gonna blow us up.

Good, 'cause I got stuff to do.

Yeah, I know, Harriet.

Or should I say Blackbird?

Well, I kind of like Blackbird.
She cool, right?

You're such an overachiever.

It's not enough you're in medical
school, you gotta be two superheroes.

Or maybe just one now,
'cause of Dad's code.

Nah, Blackbird is needed.

But I will start planning better

and stop lone-wolfing it.

You know, I can roll with you.

Anissa.

Oh, he's burning up.

- Look, I'm gonna give him some ibuprofen.
- Wait...

I need you to get some
ice bags out the freezer.

We gotta get
his temperature down.

- Quick, all right?
- Okay.

All right, stay with me,
Uncle Gambi.

Don't you worry.
I'll handle my business.

You just don't know
how to play chess.

Never did.
I know what I'm doing.

What?

I set off violence in strategic
spots across the city.

Handpicked members
of the One Hundred

are snatching motorists out of
cars and setting stores on fire.

And non-One Hundred members
are joining in.

Of course they are.

You know that's true.
Ignorant, weak-ass fools.

Baby, maybe you need to get some sleep.
I mean, you've been up for...

Don't you worry about my sleep.

You just make sure you pullin'
Black Lightning's teeth

like I told you to.

No!

Hey!

Hey! Lynn...

Bitch!

I think you got her.

Oh, you have a funny
bedside manner.

You're in no position
to make jokes.

This is true.

But you must understand,
you cannot turn me over to the ASA.

Agent Odell will realize I helped
Tobias, and he won't be forgiving.

You just tried to John Wilkes Booth me.
Why do you think I care?

I have information
that's valuable to you.

We're not playing that game.

Oh, you don't want to hear
about more homicidal meta-humans

about to be turned loose
on Freeland?

What do you want?

Police protection.

I much prefer the law-bound
criminal justice system

to the national security
ruthlessness of the ASA.

I'll see what I can do.

I assumed as much...

given the fact that there's no
Black Lightning task force formed

to bring you to justice.

You have a connect.
High level, I gather.

Stop showing off.
Stop it!

Black Lightning,
don't trust this woman.

Not until she tells us
what she's got.

Well?

You're gonna want to
write this down.

Dr. Stewart.

What the hell?

It looks like your
anonymous caller has struck again

and led you to the pod kids.

How are they?

I haven't checked them all yet.
The ones I have are stable.

Good. I'm gonna get 'em
out of here

before the Markovians take
advantage of the chaos outside.

No, that will destabilize them.

Better that than stable
in Markovian hands.

Get special teams in here.

Authorities are now
advising residents of Freeland

to stay in their homes

as the riots surrounding
the fatal shooting of Cape Guy

continue to evoke chaos
in the city.

All right,
his vitals are getting stronger.

Thank God.

People wildin' out in these streets.

Yo, that's 'cause
they pissed off,

and they got every right to be.

Yeah, but what is tearing up
your own community gonna do?

Look. This dude is running down
the street with a TV.

How the hell is that helping anything?

That fool,
he just wanna get a TV.

He ain't trying to create change.

But the majority of the people
out there,

they're trying to get the
attention of the powers that be.

Freeland just went dark.

I know.
We just saw that.

That's Gambi's backup power.

Yo, a power outage?

You think
they're getting crazy now?

They about to be acting
even more crazy.

Hey, yo, Dad tripping.
Got me in here cooped up.

This is killing me.

I gotta get out there.

And do what, exactly?

I don't know, Jen.
But, look, I gotta do something.

To who?
These are regular people.

And on top of that,
what about Uncle Gambi?

Least of your worries.

Hey.

I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.

All right. Are you okay?

Me? What about the whole
"look before you leap" thing?

Why would you get so close to me

when I've got energy
flying all over the place?

Because you're my family.

Now let's go check on your dad.

Jeff?

Jeff, do you read me?

Oh, it's good to hear
your voice, old man.

You all right?

I've had worse.
Jeff, you gotta come in.

No, I can't. I have to get back
to Lynn at Tobias's warehouse.

The pods are there. If I know
Tobias, he's gonna want 'em back.

Just tell Lynn to get out of there.

Jeff,
you're almost out of juice.

Without an energy supply,
you're gonna go down soon.

Jeff?

Jeff?

- He cut the comm link.
- I'm out.

- Hold up. I'm comin' with.
- Jen, no.

Wait... Wait!
What are you doing?

I need to get the lights back
on so your father can power up.

Okay, I'm coming with you.

- We need you to stay here.
- No, I'm not staying here.

- You will if you're smart.
- I'm not smart, then.

- Jennifer, trust me.
- No, you need to trust me.

I can do this. The suit's done.

The suit only stops an outside
source from overloading you.

It is up to you to keep
a lid on your emotions.

I understand that. I can.

You've had no tactical training.

Tell me what you need me to do,
and I'll do it. I promise.

Or you can walk out,
and I'll just follow you anyway.

All right.
Remember that promise.

Let's go.

Stop!

Dr. Jace.

Line-of-sight teleportation.
Interesting.

You're wanted in Markovia.

You're a bounty hunter.

We're moving in.

Whatever they're paying you,
I can get you more. Double.

Yeah, I don't renegotiate.

- Check him.
- No pulse.

Move in. Go, go!

All clear.

We've got nothing, sir.

They're gone.

Can you smell it?

The city's burning, Tori.
It's burning down.

Nobody's gonna take
a damn thing from us anymore.

And when I rebuild this city,
it'll be just the way we always wanted it.

Put your hands
where we can see them!

Do not move!

- On your knees!
- Freeze!

Do not move!

Stop!

Let me guess.
Tobias Whale sent you.

- Hey, what's up?
- Glad you made it.

Now we won't have to
hunt you down.

Is that right?

So you grab that one,
you grab that arm.

Take me to him.

- Ma'am, you can't come in right now.
- Hold on now.

Hold on now.

That's not who we are,
not in this church.

Let 'em come on through.

Let me tell you all something.

If the good Lord can see fit to
raise me up off my deathbed...

...we can see fit to raise our
neighbors in their time of need.

I want you all to spread
the word that this church

will serve as a place
of sanctuary during the riots.

- Amen.
- Amen?

- Amen.
- That's all right.

Oh, yeah? Y'all ass is mine.

The hell with this!

I saw that you was
runnin' out of juice.

I know we had beef for a long time,
but I ain't about that no more.

My city don't need to be this
torn up. The streets need you.

I'm only about one thing.
I'm gonna kill Tobias Whale.

Your partner gettin' ready
to die over there.

No!

Hey.

All right, Jen, come on up.

Damn.

The main generator's over here.

That's crazy.

Do you think you can control your powers
well enough to create small blasts?

Yeah, of course.

Okay. Controlled bursts.

Hit it on both sides
at the same time.

But not too hard,

or you'll destroy the generator
behind the ice.

I got it.

- Hit it again, harder.
- Okay.

One more time, just like that.

Perfect. You okay?

Hell no. I'm awesome.

Yes, you are awesome. Let's go.

The power's back on.

Police aren't overreacting
like they're supposed to.

My riot is dyin' out.

It's that damn Black Lightning.
It's always Black Lightning.

Thinks he can take my chaos.

Wait till I put 12 dazed and
enraged meta-humans on his punk ass.

No, don't, Tobias. Think.

If you release the pods now,
we will lose everything we've worked...

Get off me!

So you gonna cut me now?

No.

But I'm leaving you.

Like I give a damn.
I could have ten of you by tomorrow.

Call reinforcements.

Everyone here, hold.
Pods are the priority.

Just give me five minutes
to initiate the serum, okay?

Oh, my God. Wait.
No. No, wait! Wait!

Stand back!
Everybody, don't touch them!

Do it. Stand down. Stand down!

Jeff, Anissa.

We're looking at pod kids.

Don't do anything.

They aren't fully awake,
and they could be erratic.

- Lynn.
- Oh, Jeff.

- Hey.
- Oh, my God. Mom.

- I'm okay.
- Okay, so they left you alone?

I stepped aside to tell you that the
kids were out of the pods, and...

turned around, and Odell
and his people were gone.

You're old news now, Lynn.

Those meta-humans
are out of the pods.

Odell's gonna wanna claim them.

I'm not gonna let that happen.

No. No, hold on.

With the information Dr. Jace
gave us for protection,

I can trace the signal
that helped to open the pods.

That'll be where
the briefcase is.

Yeah, and I bet anything
Tobias will be with the briefcase.

There.

- All right.
- All right.

- We'll see you.
- I'll be here.

Almost back. Send me the GPS,

and I'll support from the sanctum.

Wait. I know where that is.

Jen, no.

If I can float in my sleep,
then I can probably fly while I'm awake.

I know, right?
As soon as I kill Black Lightning,

I'm gonna scoop up all those
poor, lost little meta-humans.

Damn.

You talkin' to paintings now?

It's about time
I killed your ass.

Latavious? Please.
The devil deals the cards.

That don't work on me anymore.

You think I never caught
any lead?

The next one's goin'
right between your eyes.

I don't think so.
E pluribus unum.

Yeah, that one worked.

Yeah. Do you feel that
bubbling up inside?

What did you do?

Lazarus Prime
only brought you back.

I'm the one who brainwashed you.

First level was about control.
You clearly passed that.

Second level, way deeper.

That passphrase was Latin
for, "From many, one."

Bringin' out all the tattoos,
all the people you killed, at once.

And your black ass certainly killed a
lot, directly and indirectly.

Yeah, Tattoo-man.

Go to sleep.

The next time your ass wakes up,

you're gonna be buried in some
concrete on the East Side.

What?

I know. He actually thought
that he had me.

Who the hell are you?

Call me Lightning.

And this is payback.

Let me down!

Stop.

He deserves it.

But you don't!

'Cause you don't deserve to
become a cold-blooded killer.

Stop fighting me!

I can't let him win.

- You don't...
- I'm gonna kill you!

Let go. Just let go.
You're hurting yourself.

You know I can't let you.

Kid, I'm gonna kill you.

Are you okay?

When Tobias
came, I should've helped you.

Dad.

I'm so sorry.

There's nothing to be sorry for.

All the violence...

Peace ain't always peaceful, son.

All the blood, broken bones,
pain you suffered,

only you'll ever know
if it was worth it.

I love you, son.

Love you, too, Dad.

Are you okay?

Yeah.

Oh, no, you ain't!

- Please.
- Please.

He's mine.

Come on!

Get him!

Is this thing on here?

I don't know if you all
can hear me out there.

Yes, Father.

If you're out there in the
community, this is Reverend Holt,

coming to you by radio,

and I'm coming to you
by podcast.

But mostly, I'm coming to you

through the grace
of the Almighty God.

- Yeah!
- Come on!

Because it's only through
God's love...

...that I live and I breathe.

- Amen!
- Praise God.

As you all know here in the church
and out there in the community,

I was struck down
and left in a coma.

Oh, but the God I serve
had another plan.

That's right. That's right.
That's right.

See, I was struck down
by the evil here in Freeland.

And we have all in this
church felt that evil.

See, I praise God
for sending us Black Lightning,

an angel of justice
to fight that evil.

I praise God that
he gave us Thunder

to protect and inspire us.

I'm telling you, be you man,
a woman, or meta-human,

we all have a part to play.

So just as God's love
sent us Black Lightning,

and God's love sent us Thunder,

it was God's love that allowed
me to rise up off my deathbed.

And I'm telling you
right here in the church,

and I'm telling all of y'all
out there in the community,

Freeland will rise again.

All we have to do is hold on to
faith and love in our hearts.

Now, it took evil to start this unrest.

But love will stop it.

Let me hear somebody say,
"Love will stop it."

Love can stop it!
Love can stop it!

I'm the captain
of the guard of this shift.

Allow me to welcome you
to the Pit.

The collar you wear around your
neck nullifies your strength,

so you can stop trying to use it.

You can't keep me here.
I want my lawyer.

You don't get one.

You've been classified a clear and present
meta-human threat to national security.

The Pit is a black site
which exists on no map

and from which
there is no escape.

In other words, abandon all hope
of the life you knew before.

Now there's just the Pit.

Yeah, well, I'm just happy none of the
pod kids hurt anybody when they got out.

I know.
That was my greatest fear.

I'm proud of you.

What?

I said I'm proud of you.

Is this some kind of
April fool-joke setup?

No. You handled your business.

Well, not all the pod kids
have been found. I mean...

I guess some of them went into
hiding, afraid to use their powers

in fear of being
put back in the pods.

Mom, like you always tell me,
celebrate the victory.

Worry about the problem
when it presents itself.

Lynn, take the compliment.

- I'm sorry. Thank you.
- You're welcome.

Whoa, whoa, whoa.
Did I miss a moment?

Yeah.

My younger daughter
just gave me a compliment.

- Oh. How'd that feel?
- Great.

- Well, I made cobbler for us.
- Ooh.

My recipe or your dad's?

'Cause if it's Dad's...

No, no, no. It's Mom's.

Okay, great.

Wait, wait.
What's wrong with mine?

What's right with it?

Harsh. That's harsh.

It's a little harsh,
but it's true.

You have to put peaches
in it, one.

Yeah, just a little
more peaches.

- It's just bread.
- What?

Just a bunch of bread.

You do a lot of things
great, but it's just not one of them.

No, there are no peaches.

Yeah, right.

It just does anything for me.

Dad, you know
I was just playin'.

Jeff, what's...

What's wrong, baby?

- Dad, for real.
- I'm fine.

No, you're crying.

I'm...

I'm happy.

You walked through that door.

Your mom is here.
Jen is here. We're safe.

I worry all the time.

Baby, we're here.

We're together.

- We're all here. We're fine.
- I know.

You know, sometimes
I just want to quit all of it.

I just want to take you all

and take you somewhere
far away from here, but...

I can't.

And I feel guilty

because we got cobbler,

family dinners,

and so many people
in Freeland don't.

We all deserve this.

And I shouldn't have to
hold my breath

until all of you
walk through that door,

but I do.

And I'm not the only one.

Baby.

No...

I'm happy.
I'm happy. I'm happy.

I'm happy you are home.

Look, I know I'm always late.

I promise I won't be late
no more.

- I won't. Don't.
- Good.

Stop laughing at me.

- Oh! Saved by the song.
- Oh,

This is my jam, honey.

- Come on.
- It's all your jam.

- Dance with me.
- No, you're...

- Oh, my rheumatism is acting up.
- Oh, those old knees?

Come on.
You still got some moves.

Now, come on. Dance with me.

Good evening.

Let's skip the prelims.

I know exactly who
and what you all are.

You need to leave.

There's something
you need to know.

The Markovians have a stockpile
of meta-humans in pods.

The largest on Earth.

You've been asked to leave...

nicely.

Not yet, Mr. Pierce.

Thanks to you,
the Markovians have Dr. Jace.

And here is the best part.

The concentration of
meta-humans in Freeland

from the vaccines
and the Green Light experiment

make it the greatest threat
to Markovia.

It's only a matter of time before
they launch a lethal first strike.

I'm swearing in
Black Lightning, Thunder,

and whatever you're calling
yourself, young lady.

The Markovian War is coming.

And Freeland...

Freeland

is ground zero.
