[Jefferson] Previously
on Black Lightning...
2
00:00:05,881 --> 00:00:07,167
Now, we are
talking about the guy
3
00:00:07,382 --> 00:00:09,669
who worked for the
man who killed my father.
4
00:00:09,885 --> 00:00:13,094
If he is still around, then
Tobias is still around.
5
00:00:13,305 --> 00:00:15,046
[both grunting]
6
00:00:17,100 --> 00:00:18,100
Where is Tobias?
7
00:00:18,227 --> 00:00:19,513
[chuckles]
8
00:00:20,604 --> 00:00:22,364
Freeland is in crisis
because of Green Light.
9
00:00:22,564 --> 00:00:24,851
Toledo's behind that.
Tobias is behind him.
10
00:00:25,067 --> 00:00:26,787
You couldn't wait for
me to get in the suit.
11
00:00:27,236 --> 00:00:28,772
Now you're gun-shy about Tobias?
12
00:00:28,987 --> 00:00:29,647
Why is that?
13
00:00:29,863 --> 00:00:32,230
We had a deal. You're
not supposed to be here.
14
00:00:32,449 --> 00:00:37,285
Did you know that in Africa some
people believe that albinos are magical?
15
00:00:37,704 --> 00:00:40,913
These people will actually
kidnap random albino,
16
00:00:41,333 --> 00:00:46,954
cut him up, grind up his
bones, and sell it as magic dust.
17
00:00:47,172 --> 00:00:48,754
[choking]
18
00:00:50,342 --> 00:00:51,127
What was that?
19
00:00:51,343 --> 00:00:52,795
Someone's breaking in.
They're coming this way.
20
00:00:52,807 --> 00:00:53,404
[glass shattering]
21
00:00:53,428 --> 00:00:55,260
Okay, hide. I'm coming.
22
00:00:56,890 --> 00:00:58,346
Get away from her!
23
00:00:58,559 --> 00:00:59,559
[groans]
24
00:01:00,978 --> 00:01:02,218
[Black Lightning] Let her go.

Anissa?
28
00:01:16,785 --> 00:01:17,866
[Lynn] Look up.
29
00:01:19,162 --> 00:01:20,162
Look down.
30
00:01:20,998 --> 00:01:22,409
I still can't believe it.
31
00:01:22,624 --> 00:01:24,786
All that talk about
nonviolence and Dr. King
32
00:01:25,002 --> 00:01:26,618
and Dad's Black Lightning?
33
00:01:26,837 --> 00:01:28,898
Your ocular responses are
normal. Your concussion's healing.
34
00:01:28,922 --> 00:01:29,983
Let me check your ribs again.
35
00:01:30,007 --> 00:01:31,873
Mom, I told you, I'm fine.
36
00:01:32,092 --> 00:01:33,799
[gasps] My God.
37
00:01:35,429 --> 00:01:37,420
You're healing already.
38
00:01:37,639 --> 00:01:41,257
Look, Anissa, you have to stop
this now. It will destroy your life.
39
00:01:41,476 --> 00:01:43,246
But you and Dad taught
me that I need to help people.
40
00:01:43,270 --> 00:01:45,352
That's what I'm doing.
I am helping people.
41
00:01:45,564 --> 00:01:49,102
Yeah, as a social activist or a doctor,
not as a super-powered vigilante.
42
00:01:49,318 --> 00:01:50,649
So I'm just supposed to sit back
43
00:01:50,861 --> 00:01:52,630
and watch The One Hundred
destroy what's left of Freeland?
44
00:01:52,654 --> 00:01:53,654
No!
45
00:01:53,697 --> 00:01:55,688
This is a gift from
God, Mom, a blessing.
46
00:01:55,949 --> 00:01:57,093
You sound just like your father.
47
00:01:57,117 --> 00:01:59,199
[scoffs] That's a bad thing?
48
00:01:59,411 --> 00:02:01,118
Do you know, together, Dad and I
49
00:02:01,330 --> 00:02:03,330
can put an end to The One
Hundred once and for all.
50
00:02:03,540 --> 00:02:06,328
Look, I understand what you're
going through right now, trust me.
51
00:02:06,543 --> 00:02:10,582
But this road you're on, it only
leads to heartbreak and pain.
52
00:02:10,797 --> 00:02:12,083
Do you have powers?
53
00:02:13,133 --> 00:02:14,373
Can you stop a bullet?
54
00:02:14,593 --> 00:02:16,004
Shoot lightning
out of your hands?
55
00:02:16,678 --> 00:02:17,213
No, of...
56
00:02:17,429 --> 00:02:20,262
Then how can you possibly
understand what I'm going through?
57
00:02:23,060 --> 00:02:25,740
[Gambi] I did some digging, and
there's some chatter on the dark web
58
00:02:25,854 --> 00:02:28,094
about a group of high-end
tech thieves making the rounds.
59
00:02:28,273 --> 00:02:30,473
They pull a job, and then
they move on to the next city.
60
00:02:30,609 --> 00:02:33,567
So far, they've stolen over ten
million dollars worth of equipment
61
00:02:33,779 --> 00:02:35,859
that they turn around and
sell to the highest bidder.
62
00:02:35,989 --> 00:02:37,605
My guess,
63
00:02:37,824 --> 00:02:40,065
Lynn was just in the wrong
place at the wrong time.
64
00:02:40,285 --> 00:02:41,901
They're probably already gone,
65
00:02:42,120 --> 00:02:44,737
but she should stay here
for a few days, just in case.
66
00:02:46,583 --> 00:02:48,790
Jefferson,
67
00:02:49,002 --> 00:02:50,897
you shouldn't beat yourself
up over this Anissa thing.
68
00:02:50,921 --> 00:02:53,754
There's no way you could
have known it was her.
69
00:02:53,965 --> 00:02:56,502
Why don't you go home, get
some rest, check on Jennifer?
70
00:02:56,718 --> 00:02:57,718
And I'll look after Lynn.
71
00:02:57,886 --> 00:02:59,877
Jennifer's at Kiesha's.
72
00:03:00,097 --> 00:03:01,883
Thank you for your concern.
73
00:03:04,810 --> 00:03:06,596
Have I done
something to upset you?
74
00:03:06,812 --> 00:03:09,429
It's what you didn't do, Gambi.
75
00:03:09,648 --> 00:03:12,185
Why didn't you tell me
Tobias was back in Freeland?
76
00:03:12,401 --> 00:03:14,517
- We're back to this again?
- Yes, we are.
77
00:03:14,778 --> 00:03:17,440
Do you expect me to believe
it only took you two hours
78
00:03:17,698 --> 00:03:20,440
to get some intel on
thieves on the dark web,
79
00:03:20,867 --> 00:03:22,053
but you haven't heard anything,
80
00:03:22,077 --> 00:03:25,490
anything about a six-foot
albino in Freeland?
81
00:03:25,706 --> 00:03:28,949
- I told you. I didn't know.
- I know what you told me.
82
00:03:29,209 --> 00:03:30,409
It doesn't mean I believe you.
83
00:03:30,544 --> 00:03:31,544
[sighs]
84
00:03:33,797 --> 00:03:37,506
I didn't tell you in
order to protect you.
85
00:03:38,844 --> 00:03:39,959
From Tobias?
86
00:03:45,600 --> 00:03:46,886
From yourself.

00:03:49,396 --> 00:03:50,807
Jefferson,
88
00:03:51,982 --> 00:03:56,601
I didn't want you to do something that
you'd regret for the rest of your life.
89
00:03:56,820 --> 00:03:59,312
There's no coming back
from something like that.
90
00:04:01,074 --> 00:04:02,074
Trust me.
91
00:04:04,828 --> 00:04:06,034

what you do at your lab over at Bowman,

could have been targeted by a

00:09:08,089 --> 00:09:09,750
Did anything out of
the ordinary happen
179
00:09:10,008 --> 00:09:11,288
around the time of the break-in?
180
00:09:11,384 --> 00:09:14,217
Actually, there was one thing.
181
00:09:14,429 --> 00:09:16,636
Anissa came by with a
box of Alvin's research.
182
00:09:16,848 --> 00:09:18,464
- My father?
- Yeah, I... [sighs]
183
00:09:18,683 --> 00:09:20,323
I didn't have a chance
to look through it,
184
00:09:20,435 --> 00:09:23,223
but I did come across some pretty
advanced biochemical formulas.
185
00:09:23,480 --> 00:09:24,811
Where did she get his research?
186
00:09:25,023 --> 00:09:28,891
She was coming to the lab to talk
about it just before the break-in happened.
187
00:09:29,152 --> 00:09:31,689
You think it's just
a coincidence?
188
00:09:31,905 --> 00:09:33,816
At this point, we
can't rule anything out.
189
00:09:34,032 --> 00:09:35,032
Excuse me.
190
00:09:38,828 --> 00:09:40,535
[Tobias] I thought PCP was bad.
191
00:09:40,747 --> 00:09:42,784
This Green Light is
on a whole 'nother level.
192
00:09:42,999 --> 00:09:44,279
It's too volatile,
too addictive.
193
00:09:44,501 --> 00:09:46,020
Truthfully, it's killing
too many people,
194
00:09:46,044 --> 00:09:47,455
and dead customers don't pay.
195
00:09:47,670 --> 00:09:49,035
So what are you
gonna do about it?
196
00:09:51,800 --> 00:09:52,800
Syonide.
197
00:09:56,679 --> 00:09:59,842
- Yes, boss?
- Reach out to Lady Eve's people.
198
00:10:00,058 --> 00:10:02,925
Tell 'em I want a
face-to-face with her evil ass.
199
00:10:03,478 --> 00:10:05,719
- You got it.
- Wait.
200
00:10:06,648 --> 00:10:09,390
[sighs] You're
gonna talk to her?
201
00:10:09,818 --> 00:10:10,818
Talk?
202
00:10:12,654 --> 00:10:13,654
No.
203
00:10:21,079 --> 00:10:23,946
Okay, maybe what
happened to you isn't my fault,
204
00:10:24,165 --> 00:10:25,906
but what happened to Anissa is.
205
00:10:26,126 --> 00:10:29,369
There's no way you could have known
that Anissa would manifest abilities.
206
00:10:29,629 --> 00:10:32,667
Me, on the other hand, my work
deals with mapping and rewriting genes,
207
00:10:32,882 --> 00:10:34,602
I should have known
there was a possibility.
208
00:10:34,801 --> 00:10:37,082
We have to call Anissa, get
her to meet us at the hospital
209
00:10:37,137 --> 00:10:38,798
so I can run some tests.
210
00:10:39,013 --> 00:10:40,449
We need to know
what we're dealing with.
211
00:10:40,473 --> 00:10:41,713
No, no, no.
212
00:10:41,933 --> 00:10:44,641
The only place we're
going is back to Gambi's.
213
00:10:45,562 --> 00:10:49,271
Have you forgotten you were
just held captive in your own lab?
214
00:10:49,482 --> 00:10:51,402
The men who did it are
still out there somewhere.
215
00:10:51,442 --> 00:10:53,399
No, of course, I
haven't forgotten.
216
00:10:53,611 --> 00:10:56,069
Okay, Anissa has powers now.
217
00:10:56,281 --> 00:10:59,023
But she'll still have powers
when all this blows over.
218
00:10:59,242 --> 00:11:01,449
You can test her when
we know you're safe.
219
00:11:01,661 --> 00:11:03,181
What do we do with
her in the meantime?
220
00:11:05,957 --> 00:11:08,745
We have to protect
her from herself.
221
00:11:09,419 --> 00:11:13,834
Convince her that using her
powers is putting her life in danger.
222
00:11:16,134 --> 00:11:18,796
That it takes
more than it gives.
223
00:11:23,057 --> 00:11:25,469
What if Jen has
inherited abilities as well?
224
00:11:25,685 --> 00:11:27,301
[sighs]
225
00:11:28,062 --> 00:11:30,554
Jen is already too much to
handle even without powers.
226
00:11:30,773 --> 00:11:32,514
We have to test her, too.
227
00:11:33,067 --> 00:11:34,148
Yeah.
228
00:11:35,862 --> 00:11:37,853
Oh, God, Jefferson.
229
00:11:39,407 --> 00:11:41,569
I'm so scared for our girls.
230
00:11:43,620 --> 00:11:45,076
I know.
231
00:11:49,626 --> 00:11:50,626
[indistinct chatter]
232
00:11:50,835 --> 00:11:51,854
[Darius] That's
what I've been...
233
00:11:51,878 --> 00:11:55,337
Bruh, when I say stop arguing,
that's what's got to happen, period.
234
00:11:55,548 --> 00:11:57,505
Then we can get to the
root cause of the problem.
235
00:11:57,717 --> 00:12:00,880
But we can't do that if
you're yelling and cussing.
236
00:12:01,095 --> 00:12:03,376
I can't let ninjas just be out
here punking me, Mr. Nasir.
237
00:12:03,598 --> 00:12:04,598
You gotta use your head.
238
00:12:04,724 --> 00:12:07,261
We're not asking you to
allow someone to punk you,
239
00:12:07,518 --> 00:12:09,179
we're asking that
you control your anger.
240
00:12:09,395 --> 00:12:10,760
[cell phone ringing]
241
00:12:10,980 --> 00:12:12,220
I have to take this.
242
00:12:12,398 --> 00:12:14,389
Talk less, listen more.
243
00:12:15,235 --> 00:12:16,420
That's what I've been trying...
244
00:12:16,444 --> 00:12:19,311
Come on, use your head, man.
This is your future. I got mine.
245
00:12:19,530 --> 00:12:21,066
[arguing continues indistinctly]
246
00:12:24,452 --> 00:12:25,157
Yeah?
247
00:12:25,370 --> 00:12:26,576
Is this the electrician?
248
00:12:26,829 --> 00:12:28,445
What can I do
for you, Inspector?
249
00:12:28,665 --> 00:12:30,887
Is there anyone else
like you in Freeland?
250
00:12:30,899 --> 00:12:31,407
[scoffs]
251
00:12:31,626 --> 00:12:36,166
Okay, not exactly like you, but
I just mean someone with, uh...
252
00:12:37,799 --> 00:12:39,631
unique abilities.
253
00:12:39,842 --> 00:12:41,003
Why do YOu ask?
254
00:12:41,219 --> 00:12:43,927
There was an incident
at the university.
255
00:12:44,138 --> 00:12:45,674
Some students
reported seeing a woman
256
00:12:45,890 --> 00:12:48,928
destroy a Confederate
general's statue with a stomp.
257
00:12:49,560 --> 00:12:51,320
No matter how much I
agree with what she did,
258
00:12:51,479 --> 00:12:54,267
you just can't go around
destroying university property,
259
00:12:54,482 --> 00:12:55,847
or any property-
260
00:12:56,067 --> 00:12:58,274
I haven't heard of anyone
like that in Freeland,
261
00:12:58,486 --> 00:13:00,523
but if I hear of
anything, I'll hit you up.
262
00:13:00,738 --> 00:13:01,899
Hey, yo.
263
00:13:02,115 --> 00:13:03,822
Since I'm looking out for you,
264
00:13:04,033 --> 00:13:05,364
I need you to do
something for me.
265
00:13:05,576 --> 00:13:06,737
Something like what?
266
00:13:06,953 --> 00:13:09,411
That clue you gave me to
find Toledo, it didn't pan out.
267
00:13:09,664 --> 00:13:11,424
Could you find another
way to track him down?
268
00:13:11,499 --> 00:13:13,018
[Inspector Henderson]
I'll see what I can do.
269
00:13:13,042 --> 00:13:14,908
Why are you so hung
up on Toledo anyway?
270
00:13:15,128 --> 00:13:16,163
He's a hired gun.
271
00:13:16,379 --> 00:13:19,792
I ain't after Toledo. I'm
after his boss, Tobias Whale.
272
00:13:20,008 --> 00:13:21,840
[scoffs] You chasing ghosts now?
273
00:13:22,051 --> 00:13:23,587
No, I saw Tobias.
274
00:13:23,803 --> 00:13:26,443
The crazy thing is, he looks like
he hasn't aged a day in 30 years.
275
00:13:26,472 --> 00:13:27,803
How is that possible?
276
00:13:28,016 --> 00:13:29,552
I'll let you know
when I catch his ass.
277
00:13:31,978 --> 00:13:33,434
Wait a minute... Hello?
278
00:13:37,108 --> 00:13:38,439
[knocking on door]
279
00:13:39,110 --> 00:13:40,110
Hey...
280
00:13:40,486 --> 00:13:41,601
Anissa, how you feeling?
281
00:13:41,821 --> 00:13:43,437
Dad, I'm ready to
go out in the streets.
282
00:13:43,698 --> 00:13:45,618
I was thinking we could
hit the community center,
283
00:13:45,825 --> 00:13:47,344
and then maybe take down
some Green Light houses...
284
00:13:47,368 --> 00:13:48,368
Whoa! Whoa, whoa, whoa!
285
00:13:48,578 --> 00:13:51,866
You're a teacher and a med
student, and that's all you need to be.
286
00:13:52,290 --> 00:13:55,078
Just because you have abilities
doesn't mean you have to use them.
287
00:13:55,960 --> 00:13:56,960
I've already used them.
288
00:13:57,128 --> 00:13:59,335
To destroy a Confederate statue.
289
00:13:59,547 --> 00:14:03,632
Oh. I know. It was a
mistake. I lost my head.
290
00:14:03,843 --> 00:14:06,426
That's just it, Anissa. You
can't afford to lose your head.
291
00:14:06,679 --> 00:14:08,841
That's when people
get hurt, or worse.
292
00:14:09,057 --> 00:14:12,391
Okay. Then train me.
Show me how to do this.
293
00:14:12,643 --> 00:14:15,010
No. You're clearly not ready.
294
00:14:15,229 --> 00:14:17,140
No, Dad, you're not ready.
295
00:14:18,900 --> 00:14:20,732
There's a difference.
296
00:14:20,943 --> 00:14:23,105
That box you gave your mother...
297
00:14:23,321 --> 00:14:24,857
The box of my
father's research...
298
00:14:26,240 --> 00:14:27,480
Where'd you get it?
299
00:14:32,121 --> 00:14:34,738
I got it from your
father's editor, David Poe.
300
00:14:35,666 --> 00:14:36,666
Why?
301
00:14:37,251 --> 00:14:39,367
Dad, when I first got my powers,
302
00:14:39,587 --> 00:14:41,373
I didn't know what
was going on with me.
303
00:14:41,589 --> 00:14:44,126
So I started doing some
digging on the Internet
304
00:14:44,342 --> 00:14:45,958
and I saw that Grandpa
was doing research
305
00:14:46,177 --> 00:14:48,635
on missing kids and
enhanced abilities.
306
00:14:48,846 --> 00:14:52,635
So, I reached out to his editor,
and he gave me what he had.
307
00:14:53,935 --> 00:14:56,848
I did what I could, but
it was so over my head
308
00:14:57,063 --> 00:14:58,349
that I had to give it to Mom.
309
00:14:58,564 --> 00:15:01,101
It was selfish and reckless
to give that box to your mother
310
00:15:01,317 --> 00:15:03,058
without giving
her all the details.
311
00:15:03,403 --> 00:15:05,235
Your grandfather was murdered.
312
00:15:05,822 --> 00:15:07,438
You don't think
he was researching
313
00:15:07,657 --> 00:15:10,820
anything else that may
have been dangerous?
314
00:15:12,036 --> 00:15:14,116
So you think the box was
the reason for the break-in?
315
00:15:14,247 --> 00:15:15,612
I don't know.
316
00:15:15,873 --> 00:15:19,161
But if there's a chance that it
is, you have to warn David Poe.
317
00:15:19,502 --> 00:15:21,584
No powers, just you.
318
00:15:22,296 --> 00:15:23,296
Okay-
319
00:15:26,717 --> 00:15:28,458
[school bell ringing]
320
00:15:31,514 --> 00:15:33,596
[Lady Eve humming]
321
00:15:40,565 --> 00:15:42,556
[Gambi] We need to
have a conversation.
322
00:15:43,693 --> 00:15:47,061
I already told you, the Stewart
situation is being cleaned up.
323
00:15:47,280 --> 00:15:49,021
I'm not here about Lynn.
324
00:15:49,532 --> 00:15:53,491
I'm here about Tobias.
The man is a problem.
325
00:15:53,703 --> 00:15:57,571
[scoffs] He is a retail outlet
326
00:15:57,790 --> 00:16:00,828
who makes a 300% profit.
327
00:16:01,043 --> 00:16:04,957
That kind of financial asset is
almost impossible to replace.
328
00:16:05,173 --> 00:16:08,632
Evelyn, the man is wanted.
He's supposed to be underground.
329
00:16:08,843 --> 00:16:10,083
His head's gotten too big.
330
00:16:10,303 --> 00:16:11,839
Ever since his little
visit to my shop,
331
00:16:12,054 --> 00:16:13,715
I've been keeping tabs on him.
332
00:16:13,931 --> 00:16:16,514
Whatever message you thought
you sent, he didn't receive.
333
00:16:16,726 --> 00:16:19,058
He's been strutting around
this city like he owns it.
334
00:16:19,270 --> 00:16:21,261
He's about to open a
night club, for God's sakes.
335
00:16:21,481 --> 00:16:23,939
It's only a matter of time
before he's caught by the cops.
336
00:16:24,150 --> 00:16:26,938
Or even worse...
Black Lightning.
337
00:16:27,153 --> 00:16:28,439
If he talks,
338
00:16:28,654 --> 00:16:31,216
he could dismantle the whole
ecosystem we've created over the years.
339
00:16:31,240 --> 00:16:33,197
We need to clip his wings.
340
00:16:33,409 --> 00:16:38,779
I am aware that Tobias has been
somewhat of a habitual line-stepper lately,
341
00:16:39,040 --> 00:16:40,530
but, Gambi...
342
00:16:43,252 --> 00:16:46,665
you and I both know
ecosystems are tricky.
343
00:16:47,006 --> 00:16:50,089
Taking Tobias out would
throw that balance off.
344
00:16:51,969 --> 00:16:53,209
But...
345
00:16:55,932 --> 00:16:58,014
You could have Joey Toledo.
346
00:16:58,643 --> 00:17:01,180
Toledo is Tobias's right hand.
347
00:17:02,271 --> 00:17:05,013
If you remove him
from the equation,
348
00:17:05,233 --> 00:17:09,443
maybe Tobias will get the hint
and start being more careful.
349
00:17:09,654 --> 00:17:11,144
And if Tobias
doesn't fall in line?
350
00:17:11,364 --> 00:17:14,152
I'll throw him off that
bridge when I get to it.
351
00:17:15,868 --> 00:17:17,358
Do we have a deal?
352
00:17:19,413 --> 00:17:20,413
Deal.
353
00:17:34,345 --> 00:17:36,677
Give Mr. Toledo my regards.
354
00:17:51,654 --> 00:17:52,689
[Jennifer sighs]
355
00:17:56,617 --> 00:17:59,905
All right. What's the
deal with you two?
356
00:18:00,162 --> 00:18:01,823
Something's up, I can tell.
357
00:18:04,083 --> 00:18:05,883
Nothing's up, Jen. I'm
just reading the paper.
358
00:18:06,085 --> 00:18:07,951
Yeah, and Anissa's
just studying.
359
00:18:08,462 --> 00:18:09,998
You know what you're not doing?
360
00:18:10,339 --> 00:18:11,339
Talking.
361
00:18:11,465 --> 00:18:14,548
[Anissa] Don't worry about
it, Jen. Dad and I are cool.
362
00:18:17,680 --> 00:18:20,513
- Right, Dad?
- Yeah. Cool.
363
00:18:22,435 --> 00:18:24,955
So everything is normal? I'm
just making all this up in my head?
364
00:18:24,979 --> 00:18:26,140
Apparently.
365
00:18:26,397 --> 00:18:28,333
Okay, well, on a normal
day, you would have noticed
366
00:18:28,357 --> 00:18:30,517
that I'm wearing your favorite
shirt without permission
367
00:18:30,693 --> 00:18:32,533
and Dad would have
asked at least a dozen times
368
00:18:32,653 --> 00:18:35,645
if I had an activity to
replace track yet, so...
369
00:18:35,865 --> 00:18:37,526
You guys wanna try again?
370
00:18:40,578 --> 00:18:42,785
[Jefferson] All right.
If you must know,
371
00:18:43,039 --> 00:18:45,906
Anissa was upset with me, um,
372
00:18:46,125 --> 00:18:49,038
because I blew off a follow-up
scan your mother wanted to run.
373
00:18:49,253 --> 00:18:49,913
Uh, I...
374
00:18:50,129 --> 00:18:53,121
I was busy, and I
thought it wasn't important,
375
00:18:53,466 --> 00:18:54,466
but...
376
00:18:54,925 --> 00:18:58,668
your sister convinced
me to, uh, do the scan.
377
00:18:58,929 --> 00:18:59,929
- Yeah.
- So...
378
00:19:00,056 --> 00:19:01,797
So all this was about a scan?
379
00:19:02,141 --> 00:19:04,883
Look, I was just trying
to look out for Dad, Jen.
380
00:19:05,144 --> 00:19:07,852
You know, protecting is what
the Pierce family does best.
381
00:19:11,192 --> 00:19:13,274
All right, guys, I have
some errands to run,
382
00:19:13,486 --> 00:19:14,567
so I'll see you guys later.
383
00:19:14,779 --> 00:19:16,259
- [Jefferson] Yeah.
- [Jennifer] Okay.
384
00:19:18,532 --> 00:19:22,241
So are you doing this brain
scan after family dinner tonight?
385
00:19:22,453 --> 00:19:26,742
Well, uh, your mother had to leave
town suddenly for a conference.
386
00:19:26,957 --> 00:19:29,665
But when she's free,
I'll have the test done.
387
00:19:31,879 --> 00:19:32,879
Okay-
388
00:19:34,215 --> 00:19:35,876
[scoffs and chuckles]
389
00:19:36,092 --> 00:19:38,504
Hi, Mr. Poe, it's
Anissa Pierce again.
390
00:19:38,719 --> 00:19:41,719
If you could give me a call back when
you get this message, that'd be great.
391
00:19:41,931 --> 00:19:46,175
I hope everything's great with
you, and I'll talk to you soon. Bye.
392
00:19:48,187 --> 00:19:49,268
[sighs]
393
00:19:58,572 --> 00:20:00,609
- [Lynn] Hey, what are you doing here?
- Hey.
394
00:20:00,825 --> 00:20:03,738
Uncle Gambi, he let me
in on his way out for lunch.
395
00:20:03,953 --> 00:20:06,536
Look, I stopped at your
place, picked up a few things.
396
00:20:06,789 --> 00:20:10,077
I just want you to be as comfortable
as possible while you're here.
397
00:20:10,292 --> 00:20:13,501
- I appreciate it. Thank you.
- You're welcome.
398
00:20:13,713 --> 00:20:16,796
Mom, look, I'm sorry
about yesterday.
399
00:20:17,007 --> 00:20:18,793
I feel bad how our
conversation ended.
400
00:20:19,009 --> 00:20:22,092
[sighs] I just want you
to have a normal life,
401
00:20:22,304 --> 00:20:23,794
free of the trials
and tribulations
402
00:20:24,014 --> 00:20:25,971
your father and I
had to go through.
403
00:20:26,392 --> 00:20:28,312
When he put on that suit
and walked out the door,
404
00:20:28,394 --> 00:20:30,594
I never knew if he was gonna
walk back through it again.
405
00:20:30,688 --> 00:20:32,554
Is that what you
want for your life?
406
00:20:32,773 --> 00:20:37,108
Is that how you want the people
who love you to live their lives?
407
00:20:38,946 --> 00:20:40,277
Wait.
408
00:20:40,489 --> 00:20:43,777
Is Dad being Black Lightning
why you two broke up?
409
00:20:46,245 --> 00:20:47,576
Yeah.
410
00:20:48,998 --> 00:20:52,332
This life is hard, baby.
That's what I'm telling you.
411
00:20:52,585 --> 00:20:55,043
And if you're not careful,
you could lose yourself in it.
412
00:20:55,379 --> 00:20:57,059
When's the last time
you had a conversation
413
00:20:57,214 --> 00:20:58,830
with anyone besides your family?
414
00:20:59,049 --> 00:21:01,461
When's the last time
you were on a date?
415
00:21:01,719 --> 00:21:04,256
When you do what
your father does,
416
00:21:04,472 --> 00:21:06,713
what you wanna do,
417
00:21:07,600 --> 00:21:10,092
everybody gets a
happy ending but you.
418
00:21:10,436 --> 00:21:12,996
But the community, they fell
apart, Mom, without Black Lightning,
419
00:21:13,147 --> 00:21:14,637
but people are
starting to believe
420
00:21:14,857 --> 00:21:16,737
that they can get up from
The One Hundred again,
421
00:21:16,817 --> 00:21:18,023
up from the crooked police.
422
00:21:18,235 --> 00:21:20,021
Look, I can finally
help Dad free Freeland.
423
00:21:20,237 --> 00:21:21,853
And I'm willing to
sacrifice my happiness
424
00:21:22,072 --> 00:21:23,608
so that other people
can have theirs.
425
00:21:27,453 --> 00:21:29,285
[indistinct chatter]
426
00:21:49,350 --> 00:21:51,387
- Can I help you, dear?
- Oh, I hope so.
427
00:21:51,602 --> 00:21:54,014
I'm looking for David
Poe. Is he around today?
428
00:21:54,230 --> 00:21:57,894
I'm sorry. David
died a few days ago.
429
00:21:58,108 --> 00:22:00,941
He was struck by a car
on his morning bike ride.
430
00:22:01,153 --> 00:22:02,593
The police said it
was a hit-and-run.
431
00:22:03,823 --> 00:22:05,154
Did you know him well?
432
00:22:06,659 --> 00:22:07,659
Yeah, he, um...
433
00:22:08,953 --> 00:22:10,660
He was a friend of the family.
434
00:22:10,871 --> 00:22:13,863
I'm so sorry to be the
one to share this with you.

00:25:03,669 --> 00:25:05,876
What is it? Are you okay?
479
00:25:06,880 --> 00:25:10,418
Remember when Anissa was ten
months old and she kept trying to walk?
480
00:25:10,634 --> 00:25:12,966
Yeah, of course I remember.
481
00:25:13,178 --> 00:25:15,089
She'd fall, and then she'd cry.
482
00:25:15,639 --> 00:25:17,596
She'd fall, and then she'd cry.
483
00:25:18,392 --> 00:25:20,474
She did it over and over again.
484
00:25:20,686 --> 00:25:21,926
A week later, she was walking.
485
00:25:22,146 --> 00:25:24,808
Ever since the day she was
born, she's been stubborn.
486
00:25:25,941 --> 00:25:27,147
She never stops.
487
00:25:28,694 --> 00:25:32,312
She will keep falling
until she walks.
488
00:25:32,531 --> 00:25:34,693
- You have to help her, Jefferson.
- Are you kidding?
489
00:25:34,908 --> 00:25:38,151
Eventually, she will go back
out there, whether we like it or not.
490
00:25:38,746 --> 00:25:40,953
And if she doesn't have
someone to look after her,
491
00:25:41,165 --> 00:25:42,621
then she will get hurt.
492
00:25:44,877 --> 00:25:46,083
Or worse.
493
00:25:47,546 --> 00:25:49,503
Training her is the
right thing to do.
494
00:25:49,715 --> 00:25:53,549
Okay, what happened to "Powers
are the drug that destroys lives"?
495
00:25:53,761 --> 00:25:55,377
And "I'm an addict"?
496
00:25:55,596 --> 00:25:57,516
Do you want that for
Anissa? To destroy her life?
497
00:25:57,681 --> 00:25:59,388
I'm not talking about
destroying her life.
498
00:25:59,600 --> 00:26:02,638
I'm asking you to protect it.
499
00:26:02,853 --> 00:26:04,514
[Gambi] Hey, Jefferson.
500
00:26:05,189 --> 00:26:07,375
If I'd known you were coming, I
would have picked up some more food.

507
00:26:26,960 --> 00:26:27,960
It's nothing.

00:27:01,120 --> 00:27:04,988

dad, great principal,
696
00:38:42,570 --> 00:38:44,732
the greatest hero.
697
00:38:44,948 --> 00:38:48,316
I mean, Dad, I can only hope
to live up to your example.
698
00:38:48,618 --> 00:38:49,618
No.
699
00:38:50,787 --> 00:38:52,118
Be better than me.
700
00:38:56,417 --> 00:38:58,328
[cell phone vibrating]
701
00:38:59,504 --> 00:39:00,665
[sighs]
702
00:39:00,880 --> 00:39:01,880
[Anissa clears throat]
703
00:39:04,926 --> 00:39:05,926
[clears throat]
704
00:39:06,678 --> 00:39:08,260
Yeah.
705
00:39:08,471 --> 00:39:11,054
[Inspector Henderson]
You went too far this time.
706
00:39:11,266 --> 00:39:12,973
[indistinct chatter on radio]
707
00:39:23,862 --> 00:39:26,024
Evelyn Stillwater-Ferguson,
708
00:39:26,239 --> 00:39:28,981
a prominent member of the Freeland
community, was murdered tonight
709
00:39:29,200 --> 00:39:32,943
along with two employees at
her Black Bird Funeral Parlor.
710
00:39:33,162 --> 00:39:34,442
Police sources
say she was killed
711
00:39:34,539 --> 00:39:35,904
-by electrocution... {Qaspsl
712
00:39:36,124 --> 00:39:38,741
making Black Lightning
their prime suspect.
713
00:39:38,960 --> 00:39:40,371
And just like that,
714
00:39:40,587 --> 00:39:43,454
Freeland's protector just
became its biggest threat.
715
00:39:43,673 --> 00:39:45,835
[breathing heavily]
716
00:39:50,889 --> 00:39:53,347
Do you believe in the
Resurrection, Latavious?
