[JEFFERSON] Previously on Black Lightning...

[JEFFERSON] The purpose of Black
Lightning was to kill Tobias

for literally shoving my father's
articles down his throat until he died.

Uncle Gambi discovered the
bodies of a bunch of kids

who disappeared 30 years ago.

He thought they were
dead, but they're alive,

and they're kept in some
kind of suspended state.

[BOTH GRUNTING]

[KHALIL YELLS]

- [HIGH-PITCHED RINGING]
- [GROANS]

[FLATLINING]

[TOBIAS] He's dead, you idiot!

What about "alive"
didn't you understand?

Dad. Dad, wake up.

- [CRACKLES]
- [JENNIFER GASPS]

[GASPS]

[GAMBI] I'm gonna
cloak this place against

all surveillance, satellite, you name it.

You just need to stay inside.

_

I wish I could come to
work with you every day.

[LAUGHS] I bet.

But as soon as these fools
stop tearing up the city

and your school reopens,
you're going back to class.

"The future belongs to those
who prepare for it today."

- Malcolm X.
- [CHUCKLES]

Hey, go wait in the car, son.

- I'll be right back.
- Okay.

All you were supposed to do

was blow the whistle on human
experimentation in Freeland.

Instead, you exposed
corruption, Al. You named names.

- [ALVIN] Good!
- No, no!

Tobias Whale's been indicted.

His corrupt ass needs to get indicted.

[GAMBI] You're playing
with fire here, man.

The last thing you need to be doing
right now is pushing for another story.

But my editor killed it. But
you know that already, don't you?

Take my advice and leave this
alone. Think about your son.

I am thinking about my son.

I had Jefferson take that damn
vaccine, and it was tainted.

Do you have any idea
how that makes me feel?

There's no reason to get
yourself killed over it.

No! There's no reason for
you to get yourself killed.

All the reason I need in the world
is sitting in that car over there.

[THUNDER RUMBLING]

[NEWSCASTER] More violence
on day three of the riots

after the shooting of unarmed
Andre Carter by Freeland police.

Residents are advised to stay home.

I've owned this store for over 20 years.

Now, I don't condone riots,

but they didn't have to shoot that
boy like that. He was running away.

[SIRENS WAILING]

[OFFICERS SHOUT INDISTINCTLY]

[OFFICER 1] I got one.

[OFFICER 2] Need a little help out here!

[FAINT ELECTRICAL BUZZING]

Stop resisting!

[OFFICERS GRUNT]

[SIREN WAILING IN DISTANCE]

[GRUNTING]

Fever of 105 and irregular heartbeat.

Is this normal after defibrillation?

- Or did I...
- You saved his life.

That's what you did.

[DEVICE BEEPING]

What's going on?

He's got a short circuit in his powers.

It's compromising his nervous system.

Okay, okay. Well, we need
to get him to the hospital.

We can't. The ASA is looking for us.

So is Lady Eve's old cartel, and
not to mention The One Hundred.

He'll make it. I know he will.

[DOOR OPENS]

Hey.

Are you all right?

[SCOFFS] Sure.

I'm a freak from a family of freaks,

and my dad's got one foot
in the grave. I'm fine.

[CHUCKLES] Well...

when you say it like that.

All right, not funny. Sorry.

Who were those people with Khalil?

Are they like us? Meta-humans?

Not exactly.

Meta-humans have organic powers,

which means they come from within.

Theirs are artificial.

That albino man, he's their leader.

His name is Tobias Whale.

He takes a kind of a serum
which is like a super steroid.

It makes him age slower
and get stronger over time.

At this point, he's got
the strength of three men.

- [SIGHS]
- My guess

is he's the one who
turned your ex-boyfriend.

Why?

It's what he does.

That man has a gift for seeing the
worst in people and bringing it out.

That spooky-looking woman
with him, she's called Syonide.

She was found in a dumpster
when she was an infant,

with her umbilical cord
wrapped around her neck.

Oh, my God!

Tobias pulled her out of an orphanage
when she was eight years old.

She was malnourished and abused.

He clothed her and he fed her.

And he trained her
to become an assassin.

When she was fully grown,

he had carbon-fiber body
armor implanted under her skin.

And if she wasn't crazy before that
procedure, the pain did the rest.

What did they do to Khalil?

I'm not altogether sure.

But it looks like he's gotten an implant

with a synthetic liquid metal.

It's bracing his spine,

but it's also causing Khalil's body

to produce a neurotoxin
like a snake's venom.

It causes instant paralysis,

so they weaponized him by giving
him darts as a delivery method.

They made him into a weapon, but...

he's not like that.

Yes, he is.

That young man had a
choice, and he made it.

He is with Tobias Whale,
the worst of the worst.

Sweetheart, whatever you may remember,

he is not your Khalil anymore.

If you wanna stay out here for
a while, okay. I'm going back in.

[KHALIL] Mr. Tobias, I'm sorry.

I know you said not to
kill Black Lightning. I...

I... I... I couldn't help it.

So this is what, an apology?

Yes, sir.

[CHUCKLE] Sy, what do you think?

Should we accept Painkiller's apology?

Good question. I have one too.

Can you put a dart in me before
I shoot you full of holes?

[TUTTING]

I know the answer to that one.

[BOTH CHUCKLE]

Have a seat.

"I am unlike other men.

The laws of convention and
morality do not apply to me."

That's Napoleon. And he
was a weak-ass Frenchman.

You're Painkiller.

Never apologize.

So you killed Black Lightning
when Proctor wanted him alive?

I'm not mad.

Martin Proctor was down with Lady Eve.

I always knew sooner
or later he had to go.

Just gonna have to
be sooner, that's all.

Real soon.

Okay. Who's got 'em?

We don't have them, sir.

The only lead we could find to Tobias
is a street thug who works for him.

Goes by the name of Lala.

[PROCTOR] Really? That's it?

A black drug dealer with a rap sheet?

That's a rare find. This
the best you all could do?

At the moment, sir.

And the warehouse called.

Putting the pods there
taxed the power grid.

There's been a brownout.

The backup generator
kicked in after 60 seconds,

but the pods from stage-one are failing.

Actually, the pods are okay,
but the subjects inside are...

How long?

Ten hours.

Unless we can get a DNA
sample from a meta-human

with stable DNA to
rewrite the bad DNA from.

In ten hours, I could
be back to square one?

We'll still have the four stage-two
subjects, sir. As of now, they're stable.

Four? Four subjects?

Forget an army, that's not
enough for a study group.

[SIGHS]

[SUCKS TEETH]

Everybody, stop working!

[SIGHS]

I know you all think I'm a hard-ass.

I'm a hard-ass because
this is a hard world.

And now, we've got people running
around with superhuman powers.

They are bioweapons, and we have to
have more of 'em than anyone else.

It is up to us to make damn sure

that if the American
flag gets any redder,

it's with the blood of
our enemies, and not ours.

Find Black Lightning's body
and this meta-human girl.

We're confiscating the DNA we need.

And let's find this Lala,
see if he knows anything.

Let's make America great again.

Failure is not an option.

[JENNIFER] So you've known Dad
the whole time he's had powers?

[GAMBI] I knew about
his powers before he did.

You see, kids from the first
experiment who got powers

usually had a flare before
their powers actually manifested.

[ANISSA] What was Dad's?

Oh, he... he had two.

[CHUCKLES] First, he instinctively
shocked a couple of riot cops

who were trying to whale on him.

Then he got up and ran away,

straight into an electrical
fence that should've killed him,

but he absorbed the energy
without even meaning to.

So why didn't you tell him what he was?

Well, it wouldn't have done him any
good to know until it was a reality.

It actually took him 15
years to fully manifest.

And that's when he decided
to become Black Lightning?

No.

He made that choice when he saw
that Freeland was losing hope,

and he knew he could provide it.

Okay, we are literally walking down
memory lane, and this isn't helping us.

I need to go out there and find
Martin Proctor before he finds us.

Anissa, we are safe here.

This whole property is
shielded against surveillance.

And right now there are
satellites looking for us,

listening stations trying to
pick up our communications,

maybe even drones we can't see.

- Sweetheart, you are the strongest among us.
- [ANISSA SIGHS]

The best place for you
is right here with us.

Come on.

[ANISSA SIGHS]

Yesterday, I felt this
coldness in my stomach,

and I'd never felt it before.

And somehow I knew it was death.

And now I realize it was the
exact moment that you flatlined.

[CRYING]

We have a connection.

I need you to find that connection

and follow it back to me.

Please.

[CONTINUES CRYING]

Please.

[BREATHING HEAVILY]

[TOBIAS] Lala.

I know you're thinking,

"Why is this funny-looking
Negro always messing with me?"

[LAUGHS]

I love it though.

Something about your
velour tracksuit-wearing ass

I just like dragging.

- Anyway...
- [GRUNTING]

[TOBIAS GRUNTS]

[TOBIAS LAUGHS]

Now, that's what they mean
when they say "levelin' up."

[LALA GROANING]

[LALA BREATHING HEAVILY]

[TOBIAS SMACKS LIPS] Ah!

- You hit like a bitch.
- Mmm.

- [GRUNTS]
- The Devil deals the cards.

[LALA SHUDDERS]

That's a corny-ass line too.

But it's effective.

I took your life in order to
make my purpose your purpose.

I spent a cool mil on
your reanimation program.

[WHIMPERING]

It's time for you to pay that back.

[PAINED GRUNTING]

Is LaWanda... and Will alive too?

[TOBIAS] No.

Just side effects of the reanimation.

[SHUDDERS]

Eventually everyone you killed is
gonna come back to haunt your black ass.

Tattooin' themselves on your
body until there's no skin left.

- [WHIMPERS]
- [TOBIAS LAUGHING]

"Tattoo-man."

It's time to get back to work.

Suspended, Jefferson?

Haven't I told you that education is
the power they can't take away from you?

He started it.

Oh, but you finished it, right?

Except you didn't.

Sit down.

Because you got suspended, and he
didn't, 'cause you broke his nose.

You think that's the end of it
from him or one of his friends?

I'm not scared of them.

An eye-for-an-eye mentality
doesn't solve anything, son.

Just makes the whole world blind.

So, what I'm supposed to do?

Just let him hit me and not do nothing?

[SIGHS]

Listen, whose life is this?

Mine's.

And what're you gonna do with it?

- Live it by any means necessary.
- Mmm-mmm.

Speak up, son. What are
you gonna do with it?

Live it by any means necessary.

Exactly.

I love you, son.

Love you too, Dad.

I gotta get back to work.

- Read the Constitution.
- The whole thing?

Mmm-hmm.

Oh, you're not gonna sit around
here all day and watch TV.

I'll quiz you at dinner.

[EXHALES]

[GRUNTING LOUDLY]

Jeff?

- Jeff.
- What happened?

[STAMMERS] His nervous
system is shutting down.

Mom...

Is he gonna be okay?

I told them not to bring me here.

I'm sure you did.

Where's Tobias Whale?

I wanna tell you, but...
[PAINED GRUNTING]

But I can't.

Then why ask to speak to me?
You're wasting my time, boy.

Cuffs hurt. They too tight.

Don't try to tell me you
people aren't used to those.

Where's Tobias Whale?

[GAGGING]

[COUGHING]

This idiot's got det cord in his mouth!

[CONTINUES COUGHING]

A bomb mule.

Albino son of a bitch is smart.

He knew we could find Lala but
not him, so he booby-trapped him.

Focus on Gambi and the meta-humans.

That has the clock on it.

We'll kill Tobias Whale when we're done.

- Oh, my God.
- How bad is it?

His vitals are dropping through
the floor. We're losing him.

Daddy.

[LYNN] Jeff?

Jeff.

[SLOW R&B MUSIC PLAYING]

Jefferson!

Dad?

Come on, sit down.

When Tobias came...

I should've... I should've helped you.

You did help me, by
doing what you were told.

Oh, but I always wanted to tell you...

I'm so sorry.

There's nothing to be sorry for, son.

Black Lightning?

All the violence? [SNIFFLES]

Peace ain't always peaceful, son.

All the blood, broken
bones, pain you suffered...

only you'll ever know it was worth it.

Was it worth it for you?

Your death?

I don't know.

What I do know... is that
I'm proud of you, son.

And I apologize for leaving you.

I love you, Dad.

[SNIFFLING]

I love you too, son.

But you can't stay here.

Go handle your business.

[LYNN GASPING]

[BOTH CHUCKLE]

Everybody, he's awake!

[FOOTSTEPS RUNNING]

[JENNIFER CHUCKLING] Daddy!

It's about time.

Dad, how do you feel?

- [SIGHS]
- [JEFFERSON GROANING]

[JEFFERSON MUMBLES]

Take it easy, Jeff. Take it easy.

[JENNIFER SIGHS]

[JEFFERSON] My powers...

I can't feel them.

[GRUNTS] My powers are gone.

We did a search of power company files,

looking for a surge in energy output
right after the attack on Garfield.

Got a hit. It was Freeland.

Let me see it.

[KLOVIC] I can't. It,
uh... it won't come up.

That's because it's cloaked from
satellite imaging. That has to be it.

We are a go! Full tactical!

[MAN] Yes, sir!

I've got your ass now, Peter.

[INDISTINCT RADIO CHATTER]

[MOANING]

[GROANING SOFTLY]

[GROANS LOUDLY]

So, Lala never came out
of the ASA headquarters.

We can't tell if he exploded, either.

But some heavy tactical
is rolling out of there.

Find out where they're going.

[SIGHS] Your vital
signs are back to normal.

[JEFFERSON] Will I get my powers back?

I don't know.

What happens when you
drain a car battery?

Well, it gets to a point where
it no longer holds a charge.

[HURRIED FOOTSTEPS]

My perimeter sensors are lighting up.

They've found us.

Damn.

Anissa and Gambi can't
do this by themselves.

[AGENT WHISTLES]

[AGENT] Go, go, go!

[GAMBI] We're looking at 20
crack operatives, combat spread.

They're gonna breach attack from
the front and back simultaneously.

Okay, so how do we stop 'em?

We can't.

These guys are every bit as good as
Delta Force and SEALs, maybe better.

And they're gonna be equipped with
special weapons to deal with Thunder.

Our best option is to retreat.

Oh, Uncle Gambi, I'm not running away.

Then your mom, dad, and sister will die.

[CHUCKLES NERVOUSLY]
Okay, this is too much.

- Jen. Jen.
- I'm telling you, this is too much.

- Jen, we're good.
- [JENNIFER] Did you hear what he just said?

- [GAMBI] All right. Listen to me!
- I don't wanna die!

Jen, listen!

Listen!

I'm gonna go out the front and
I'll engage them before they hit us.

At the same time, Anissa,

[PANTING] you make a hole in that wall.

I'll lay down suppressive fire.
You thunderclap left and right.

That'll shock them enough to give your mom,

sis, and dad time to make for the woods.

- Got it.
- [GAMBI] Okay.

I'm in their comms, so we're
gonna know what they're up to.

- [COMMS BEEPS]
- [AGENT] Bravo team set.

We are go. Wait for command...

- [GAMBI] Okay.
- Jen, Jen...

[GAMBI] Listen, listen.
There's an emergency tunnel

under a forked tree ten yards
into the brush. All right?

There's a palm reader

on the manhole that'll open for
any of you, but not for them.

At the end of the tunnel, there's a
road where the van will be waiting.

Okay? Is everybody ready?

We're ready.

All right.

Can you light this thing
up without me powering it?

Sure.

Okay, new plan.

I go out the front and draw their fire.

Anissa takes them out, you lead
my family to the tunnel.

Wait. But without your powers, how
can you do that and make it back?

The suit's bulletproof.

But your head's not.

[SOFTLY] It's gonna be okay.

[LYNN SOFTLY] Jeff...

[JENNIFER SOBS]

Be careful.

Take care of them.

[ANISSA] I got you.

[CRYING]

This is suicide, Jeff.

Light me up, old man.

[LYNN] Jen...

[GASPING]

- Jen. Jennifer!
- [ANISSA] Mom, don't get close.

- [LYNN] Jen!
- [ELECTRICITY CRACKLING]

- [ANISSA GASPS]
- Jennifer?

[CONTINUES CRACKLING]

[LYNN] Jen!

[JENNIFER] Dad!

[GRUNTS]

No, Jennifer, that's
enough! You're trembling!

No! More.

[SCREAMS]

[LYNN] Jennifer!

[ANISSA] Jen, you good?

- [JENNIFER] Yeah, I'm fine.
- [ANISSA] What?

I'm fine. I'm okay. I
just need to sit down.

[ANISSA] Whoa, whoa, whoa.
Be careful. Take your time.

[JENNIFER] I'm okay. I
just need to sit down.

- [ANISSA] Be careful. Careful, careful.
- [LYNN] Okay.

Are you okay?

[SIGHS] Yeah, I'm fine.

- [LYNN SOFTLY] She's okay.
- [JENNIFER CHUCKLES]

[JENNIFER] I'm okay, Mom.

[GASPS]

Now, you are making a habit
of saving my life, young lady.

[JENNIFER CHUCKLES]

Well, this is... this is what we do.

[GAMBI] Jeff.

Even if you win, the ASA
isn't gonna disappear.

If they think there's some
kind of meta-human arms race,

they are gonna keep coming after you.

Your best option would be to take off,

make a life somewhere with your family.

Whoa, and turn our back on the people?

On Freeland?

Let them make us leave?

Nuh-uh, they don't know us.

I'll help in any way I can.

[JEFFERSON] So that's it, then.

High-low tactics.

Let's do this.

[TEAM LEADER] This is team leader
Alpha. All fire teams in position.

You are go, team leader.

[TEAM LEADER] Visual's
dark, I'm moving up.

[AGENT] Advancing.

Got eyes on location.

[AGENTS GRUNTING]

[TEAM LEADER] Team leader Alpha.

We are not prepped for Black

Denied!

They came out of the house to
protect whatever or whoever's in it.

Take out Thunder and get in there.

- Buy me some leverage.
- [TEAM LEADER] Copy that.

What are you doing?

- They're coming after us.
- [RIFLE COCKS]

[SIGHS] Give me one of those.

- [SIGHS]
- Give it to me.

[BREATHING SHAKILY] What?

I grew up hunting with my dad.

Now let's end this, 'cause
I want my damn life back!

Talk to me.

[KHALIL] Major firefight
in North Freeland.

- A military team...
- [TOBIAS] Mmm.

Up against Black Lightning and Thunder.

That black son of a bitch
keeps rising from the dead.

But this time, it's good for me.

Proctor's best are all committed.

Our best are right here.
Let's bring the party to him.

Sir, multiple shots
fired, multiple perps.

We got a war going
down in North Freeland.

Scramble SWAT. I want everybody
with a badge in the car.

[INHALES DEEPLY]

[AGENTS GRUNTING]

[AGENT] Fall back! Fall back!

[WEAPON BEEPS]

[THUNDER GRUNTING]

[TEAM LEADER] Meta-human known
as Thunder has been packaged.

[PROCTOR] Reel her in.

[AGENT] Bravo team ready for breach.

[GRUNTING]

Mom!

[GRUNTING]

[GASPING]

[WEAPON BEEPS]

[AGENT GROANS]

[THUNDER GRUNTING]

[YELLING AND GRUNTING]

Damn it!

Uh, sir, Freeland PD is on an
intercept with our firefight.

Three minutes out.

You're not helping, Klovic!

Damn it!

Abort! Abort assault!

Secure the stage-two
pods for relocation.

Send the operatives'
coordinates to the warehouse

where they will secure the stage-two
pods and provide escort for relocation.

Where, sir?

Above your clearance, Klovic!

I'll advise on site.

[ALARM BLARING]

Breach mode, everybody! Breach mode!

[KHALIL GRUNTING]

[GUARD GRUNTS]

Sir! I'm hailing all of our agents,

but getting nothing but dead air.

Burn the hard drives.

With me.

[GRUNTS]

Go, go, go, go, go!

[DOOR POUNDING]

[BEEPS]

Sir...

Proctor. Proctor! Proctor!

[GRUNTS]

[SIRENS WAILING]

[GUN CLICKS]

Where's tactical?

Um...

They couldn't make it.

Whoa, whoa, whoa.

You're not going anywhere.

[PROCTOR] So...

Family affair?

I knew it was you.

Yeah, and that's gonna be a problem.

I am a federal agent.

You will bring the weight of the United
States government down on your heads.

That's bull.

I suspected when you didn't
call in reinforcements

after your Green Light lab was destroyed

that this was a... rogue operation,

which means we're not
up against the ASA.

We're just up against you.

Thank political correctness.
It's ruining the country.

The first Freeland experiment
killed a lot of kids!

And you thought it was a
good idea to do a sequel?

They would've wound up on
welfare or in prison, anyway.

[SCOFFS] Wow.

[GRUNTING]

[PROCTOR GRUNTING]

- Jennifer!
- [PROCTOR GRUNTING]

[GROANING]

Oh, man! That was
beautiful, little girl.

- Is that right? You want some more?
- Jennifer.

Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
Listen to me for one second.

Most of them are dying.

I can fix 'em.

You wanna save your
people? Let's make a deal.

All I need is a sample of
stable meta-human genetics.

Yours.

You want to save Freeland. I
want to make America great again.

The ASA will back me up,

especially when I give 'em the
411 on the Pierces. [CHUCKLES]

I'll get a blank check and
a get-out-of-jail-free card.

So, either we deal or I come back
and kill each and every one of you.

You're a monster.

That's funny coming from you, Peter.

You're right.

I am a monster.

And he is not gonna hurt any more kids.

You all take care of the pods,
I'll take care of the trash.

None of them are stable.

Okay, how do we get them out the pods?

If you open the pods, they will die.
They're too unstable from all the...

How do we get them out?

I... [STAMMERS] The briefcase.

I need the briefcase.

Never mind.

I know someone that can help them.

People are always calling
black folk paranoid.

We always paranoid until
the truth comes out.

They had them children for 30
years, and that wasn't enough?

They came back to get more?
[SCOFFS] Damn. Bye, Felicia.

This all ended with Black
Lightning and Thunder, not the police.

That should tell you
something right there, right?

The government put crack in the ghettos,

they gave heroin to the white
folks in the rural areas,

then they came back and put
Green Light in Freeland.

And I know 'cause my son got caught
up in taking that Green Light.

They gonna put something
else somewhere else.

This is their MO. Ain't nothing new.

The people of Freeland have
a right to a full explanation

of what happened in this city.

Hard questions are being
asked of the US government.

And, in the meantime,

although we do not condone
acts of vigilantism,

the people of Freeland and this
department owe a great debt of thanks

to so-called Black Lightning and Thunder.

[PANTING]

[ALL LAUGHING]

[JENNIFER] They call us heroes,
but the real heroes are you,

the people who, despite the
everyday struggles of life,

continue to find hope,
meaning, and purpose

in what can be a challenging world.

[WHOOPING]

[INDISTINCT CHATTER]

[LAUGHTER]

[JENNIFER] We've been given a
gift, a blessing from God,

and we intend to use it to
protect this city and its people.

[SYONIDE] From our man
in the coroner's office...

[TOBIAS] Hmm.

Proctor's thumbs.

[ALARM BEEPS]

- You...
- [WHIMPERS]

- Shut up!
- [GROANING]

You better hope this works.

[BEEPS, UNLOCKS]

Mmm.

Well, damn!

[TOBIAS CHUCKLES]

Thank the man.

[MAN PANTING] No!

[GRUNTS]

[TOBIAS] Sy, baby,

you're looking at the king of Freeland.

Long live the king.

[TOBIAS] First order of business,

ripping the damn light
out of Black Lightning.
