Previously on
Black Lightning...

- Name.
- Maryam Luqman.

I can blend into any environment.

There is a clear and present
Markovian threat,

and until that is eliminated,

consider this protective custody.

There's no way I'm going on television
and letting myself

or this department become
the face of your experiment gone wrong.

You will follow orders.

The experiments they did on me

must have opened a door in me
in some kind of way.

This vision comes from within.

Like, clearer.

Markovians breached the compound.

Put Freeland on lock down.

Copy.

A room full of scared meta children
ain't a good combination.

We'll get them through and across soon.

Guys, come on. Let's go, quick.

api.OpenSubtitles.org is deprecated, please
implement REST API from OpenSubtitles.com

Describe your current condition.

Bad.

I don't know how long I can take it.

I get muscle spasms all over.

I can't eat.

I'm falling apart.

Literally.

I'm losing all my hair.

I don't know what else to say
except help me.

Please.

Last night, I saw a superhero
He was black

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

What's in the case?

I don't know.

How come the screen is blank?

I can't turn it on.

Then what do you want with it?

The case belongs to Tobias Whale.

It's important to him.

I don't know where to find Tobias.

But, as God is my witness,

he'll find me if I got his.

And I'll be waiting.

It is my sad duty to announce
that the five young service members

who were wounded when
the Markovians attacked

the meta-human processing center
have passed away.

The Markovians learned
of the processing center

through the media.

Consequently, all media inside Freeland

has to be cleared with the ASA
prior to broadcast within Freeland.

The blackout for outside media

will continue until further notice.

No media goes out,

and nothing comes in.

The ASA will spare no effort

to rid Freeland
of this foreign nuisance

and this department will give
total and full cooperation.

Thank you.

Good morning.

This is Truthteller Johnson
with your Resistance Alert.

What Chief Henderson just said
was straight up bull.

The only ones responsible
for anybody dying is the ASA itself.

They've been doing our kids wrong
for 30 years.

Listen to what they did to this sister.

What they did was help Tobias Whale

turn my child into a monster.

And when he decided
to stop and do the right thing,

they killed him.

They murdered my baby.

At least disguise her voice.

That's truth, people.

And we won't stop telling it
until Freeland is free.

Katie?

Unable to trace, sir.

Sir, encrypted, eyes-only message
from Langley coming on your screen.

Give me Commander Williams.

Dialing now, sir.

- You okay?
- I feel awful.

I'm worried about our daughters.

I keep reminding myself
that Anissa's there.

She's been helping out at the house
since they brought you in for testing.

I looked at her the other day,
I realized she is all grown.

Yeah, just ask her.

You want to go through
some of this data with me?

Seriously?

Why do you think Odell's
letting you see that data, huh?

He's playing you.

Odell can have
his little agenda.

But I'm not going to let
these children die

just because the ASA
wants to exploit them.

Strange. The testing
is making you stronger.

You think everything about me
including my powers is strange.

- What is that...
- What's going on?

We can't hear anything
in this room. You doing that?

It's none of your business
what I say with my wife.

I'm just doing my job, Mr. Pierce.

Get out of here.
I'm about tired of all of y'all.

Commander,
we're gonna need some privacy

if we're gonna stay here
for an extended time.

Of course.

How long do you expect us to be here?

- Can't say.
- No, you mean you won't.

I mean what I say, meta.

Why does that sound like a curse word
coming out of your mouth, man?

Jefferson.

Commander, have our children
been kept out of this as Odell promised?

As long as they refrain
from using their abilities

they have been authorized
to remain home.

I want to talk to them myself.

Can't do that.

Though we have secure communications
on this end,

there's a remote possibility
of tracing a call from your home.

No, that is unacceptable.

We have a teenage daughter,
there must be a way.

I'll have a secure phone
brought in for you to record a message.

- Thank you.
- You're welcome.

In the meantime, please follow me.

Here.

Your new niche.

I hope you'll be comfortable.

It's been stocked with your
favorite foods and beverages

including your scotch

and your red wine.

Dr. Stewart, I'm glad
you're looking at the data.

We have four Green Light babies
and two pod kids deceased,

with a dozen others not far behind.

We could use your help.

You have the run of the sector.

Don't get lost.

It's better.

See how he made a point to let us know
they know our habits.

It's always about more and more power
with the ASA. I've had it.

How can you be so certain?

These people weren't scared of Tobias,
but they're scared of the Markovians.

Doesn't that say something to you?

What if the Markovians
are some sort of pretext

like the so-called weapons
of mass destruction in Iraq?

The ASA has been dogging
Freeland my whole life.

Now, we only hurt ourselves
if we help them weaponize these kids.

What about the Green Light babies?

- And the pod kids.
- Look, listen to me.

Now, if you don't help them,

the ASA will see that they can't get
their meta-human weapons here.

Eventually, they will abandon their
masterplan and leave Freeland.

Eventually?

You sound just as ready to sacrifice
innocent children as Odell.

Well, I'm not.

Quarantine be damned.
We're still police officers.

Sinzell Johnson.

I want his grimy ass off the streets.

Effective immediately,
we are going to stake out

every known whereabouts...

Listen up.

I'm Commander Williams.

Here under authority of martial law.

Detective Sergeant King.

Identify yourself.

Take her.

Wait. What?

Why?

We have intel that your officer
is a Green Light user

and a possible meta-human.

King?

Blackbird, are you okay?

I'm fine. Don't worry about me.

I heal fast, okay?

Now we have a ways to go,
and I can't have any of you cramping up.

Blackbird. Another group?

So soon?

Look, I had to.

Is there a problem?

Besides soldiers looking for them

who are liable to shoot us
or lock us up?

Look, isn't it enough you already killed
a dozen Perdi, including my mother.

Okay, whoa, whoa, whoa,
wait a minute.

You came to me then.

We risked our lives taking on
Looker and the Sange.

We saved Perdis' lives
including your babies.

Yeah, and I still have babies.
They don't need this trouble.

None of us do.

Well, I made a deal
with your father, okay?

Like I was saying, please
make sure you are hydrated.

I need you to make sure
you have enough food in your system,

we have a lot to do.

Yeah, that was a good one.

You know we have a doorbell, right?

You don't appear to be in distress.

Yeah, well, I just broke my microwave.

Wasting food during food rationing
is pretty tragic.

I'm going to
exempt your family from rationing.

Uh-uh.

Don't do that. We don't deserve
to be above everybody else.

I need you to accept that you do.

You have unique gifts
that require unique responsibilities.

So unique perks are appropriate.

Look, my dad would never...

Why are you here?

The surveillance system crashed.

That's 'cause I crashed it.

It's creepy anyway,
you watching me all the time.

Okay, all right.

Forget surveillance.

Where's Anissa?

She's in the shower.
You wanna watch her, too?

We never...

There is a video
from your parents on this.

They wanted you to have it
and so do I.

Why?

This is not fair.

But it's necessary.

I want you to know
we're on the same side.

If you, uh, need anything,

anything at all,

you can reach me on that phone

any time, day or night.

- Hey.
- Hi, sweeties.

We're all right, okay? Perfectly fine.

We're just here as a precaution.
We'll be home soon. Okay?

We miss you.

- Love you.
- Love you.

There they are, right there.

All right.

Rayvon.

What's good?

Lala?

Man, what, you going
camping or something?

That's some cool threads, man.

You remember who gave you
your start, don't you?

Yeah, all you, bruh.

It's time for you to start again.

All y'all.

And how we do that?

We got tanks and troops up the ass.

Soldiers need drugs
more than anybody else.

They stressed out.

Yeah, but how?

We ain't got no product.

There's always a way.

Even in the joint, there's product.

Remember Sinzell?

Yeah.

He lost my money and went to the pen.

Well, he got back.
Right before the wall went up.

He's running protection.

He got a whole black market out here.

Eleven blocks on lock.

Then we take it back.

Man, Sinzell's a whole beast out here
with a dozen guns behind him.

And all you got is,

you know, you.

Don't worry about it.

Can I get one more scoop
of that, though?

Make sure the line is moving. Okay?

We have to talk.

Really, Anaya?

Listen, I know you have to consider
the safety of the Perdi.

I don't want to bring any harm
to you either.

On top of that, our business is limited
with Freeland's quarantine.

So giving away all of this food...

Whoa, whoa, whoa,
I paid for this food.

We made a deal for safe passage
through these woods.

We need to establish
some limits. We need...

Thierry, Anaya,
people are in trouble. They need help.

And the Perdi need to help themselves.

Look, you took the money.

There's more where that came from,

but you're not backing out.

Do you hear me?

You are a guest here.
You don't tell us how to do this.

I will tear this place down.
And you know I can.

Am I threatening you?

Hell, yeah!

Why did you hit him so hard?

He could have been crippled for life.

He could have been dead a lot longer.

You're almost just as bad as the Sange.

Test me and I'll be worse.

Everybody eat.

Northwest perimeter is secure.

What the hell do you want?

Well, get in the car, man.

Do you ever run out of weird-ass tech?

I know you're working closely
with the ASA.

They have comm drives
that can get through the firewall.

All I need is one.

Okay. Well, I don't want to go
to Leavenworth for stealing one.

Anissa is outside the perimeter.

The ASA will put her in a cage
if they catch her trying to get back in.

And there's no way she stays outside
with her family inside.

With a comm drive,
I can bring her home safely.

- Otherwise...
- Look, that girl is my heart.

I was there
when she took her first steps.

I cheered for her at her graduation,

but I've got a wife to look after.

And this job, it's more than a job.

- I swore an oath.
- Screw your oath!

This is no time to be
worrying about oaths.

It's a matter of life and death.

You think I don't know that?

Look...

Get the hell out of my car.

No, look. Hard times, hard choices.

You're the only one
that can help Anissa, the only one.

What's it gonna be?

I'm so glad you're here, Dr. Stewart.

I think I'm dying.

No, don't think like that.

I'm gonna help you, okay?

You lost your hair,

your fingernails.

Anything else?

My eyes bleed.

That must be scary.

Your brain scans are almost normal.

What's wrong with me?

Human body wasn't designed to do
what a meta can do.

We know how to stabilize the cells

but it doesn't last
if you use your powers.

Fine.

I... I won't use them.

The damage is already done.

It's like a crack in a windshield.

It keeps getter bigger
until the glass breaks.

No, I'm not
going to let it get that far.

I promise.

Okay?

All right,
all right, all right, all right.

You ain't got to put your hands on me.

Get off of me.

Where's your commander?

What can I do for you, Chief?

You give back Sergeant King.

That's a non-starter.

Where is she?

At the processing center.

You mean that prison camp?

Chief, I strongly suggest
you watch your tone

and keep your distance.

I don't need your damn suggestions.

You put a sworn police officer
in a prison camp.

She's a public servant
with a perfect record

on the force where
I got problems out the ass.

You snatch her up over
some damn rumors about Green Light?

My orders are clear and so are yours.

I don't care about your fricking orders.

I'm talking about some
common damn decency.

I'm the damn Chief of Police!

Ain't that your man?

Oh, hell, no!

You all gouging the people?

For food?

For bread and crackers?

For bread and crackers?

This ain't right, man.

Ain't none of this is right.

The One Hundred,
the warrior class of Freeland,

and y'all out here fighting over crumbs?

Okay, okay.

You owe me money.

I'm taking all this back.

You all thought I was just gonna
let him talk all that?

Huh?

Move the truck to the next spot.

Oh, hell, no.

Damn.

Oh, my God...

That did not just happen.

Damn!

Oh, my God.

It's all set.

We leave at sundown.

That wasn't so bad, was it?

And you have a bunch of
temporary farmhands.

No, you don't have a choice.

I'm sorry, Thierry,
but it is what it is.

Maybe we can work something out.

Just know we'll never trust you again.

Yeah, I know.
You better keep your promises.

Anissa, are you reading me?

Uncle Gambi?
How did you make a call out of Freeland?

I'm inside the ASA system.

Look, I can bring you
in any time, sweetheart.

But I've got some bad news.

What is it?

The Markovians have got
special forces units

patrolling the area
around Freeland's perimeter.

Looks like pathfinder units

doing a pre-invasion reconnaissance.

And I'm reading a patrol that's within
spitting distance from where you are.

No, if they find out
where the Perdi farm is,

it jeopardizes everything.

Guide me to them.

And there's another unit at six o'clock.

Wait until they pass by.

Now.

You're close, 15 yards.

Get out of there, Anissa.

Okay, I'm gonna need you to blast
the plate and keep building your output.

Maryam, I need you to blend
with each hologram. Okay?

Good.

Keep going. Keep building.

Little more.

Good.

That's good.

Keep going. Keep building.

That's really good.

Keep going. More.

That's good.

Little more.

Keep going. Keep building.

Okay.

Maryam?

Oh, my God.

Lynn, is she okay?

I don't know.

That's Khalil's drawings, aren't they?

Yeah. That boy could draw.

He actually did some of me.
Look, check them out.

Tavon, does it look like I want company?

No. Wait. I'm sorry.

Jen!

I'm Jamillah Olsen inside
ASA-occupied Freeland.

Though the ASA has instituted
a ban on all outgoing communication

and censorship on all communication
inside of Freeland,

this reporter will continue
to exercise her First Amendment rights.

Scores of people have been
pulled off the streets

by ASA troops and commandos.

People resisting have been
beaten and shot.

ASA tanks
and heavily armored checkpoints

enforce the total isolation of Freeland
with curfews and rationing inside it.

Nevertheless, Markovia
recently launched a daring attack

on an ASA detainment facility
resulting in ASA causalities.

Meanwhile, resistance
has begun to arise.

And their symbol is a meta-human
the people call Blackbird.

It is perhaps the unanswered questions
that are the most troubling.

Where are the city's heroes,
Black Lightning and Thunder?

And what is the ASA doing
with the pod kids

and the Green Light babies?

- I'm Jamillah Olsen.
- Stop recording.

Name.

Painkiller.

Confirm.

- Is your brain chip up and working?
- Yes.

- Spinal implant functioning?
- Perfectly.

- Legs?
- Fully functional.

- List pre-installed software.
- Human anatomy.

Small arms marksmanship.
Military history.

Add a classical education.

Adding.

List new capacity.

Master's degree level in Literature,
Philosophy and Mathematics.

Good.

Commander Williams.

Painkiller, what is your function?

I'm a biological weapon system.

Katie. Now.

This is your target.

Terminate with prejudice.

Yes, sir.

Permission to speak freely, sir.

Be brief.

I believe it unwise

to send the Painkiller asset
to that particular target,

first time out.

The brain chip is in place
and it's working.

It hasn't been tested.

This is the test.

But having him kill his own mother?

If there's anything that could
reverse a mindwipe...

Meaning the brain chip
doesn't work, but if he kills her...

Then we know it does.

And can be applied as required,

for human and meta-human alike.

Maryam?

Hi.

Uh...

Are you okay?

No.

No, I'm not okay.

They told me to take a break and eat.

But what's the point?
I'm just going to throw it up.

Yeah, I feel you.

I felt the same way.

Hold on.

There. Now, we can talk privately.

You have powers like Black Lightning's.

Yeah, uh, kind of.

Look, have you seen more like us?

Uh-huh.

They even make us fight.

Really?

People get hurt really bad here.

But I guess we'll fall apart
on our own anyway.

I know one girl who lost
her fingers and her toes.

They just fell off.

Have you seen, uh,

a 6' albino man?

No.

Okay, thanks.

Make sure you get some rest. All right?

Never underestimate
the power of a good nap.

I trust you're making progress?

Some.

Good.

Help me out here.

I've been reviewing data myself,

and I noticed, uh, a spike

in Mr. Pierce's neuron activity
that correlates with an energy flux

that we're reading at the lab.
Can you...

tell me about this?

I've no idea.

Neuron spikes and energy fluctuations
happen all the time.

It's probably nothing.

Hmm?

That's funny because

we're detecting
the exact same energy flux...

right now.

This is good.

I want to thank you for helping me
with Maryam today.

I really appreciate it.

Her condition worries me.

Well, I saw her.
She seems to be recovering.

You saw her?

Yeah, I checked on her
while you were in the lab.

That was nice of you.

It turns out I was right.

The ASA has them fighting each other.

Wait.

You pumped a sick teenager
for information?

Do you even consider the kind of trouble
she could get into?

No, no. I threw up the static field
like I use for our privacy.

Yeah, "used" is the right word.

You used Maryam because you just
gotta be in control,

jeopardizing all of us in the process.

Wait, what're you talking about?
I told you.

- They couldn't hear.
- They don't need to hear us, Jeff.

They've got your energy signature.

They know when you're using your powers.

All I did was ask questions
that you should be asking.

Look, I think I understand
what she's going through

- a lot better than you.
- No, you don't.

You've had all the life experiences
to deal with this, she hasn't.

None of us know
what she's going through.

All I'm saying is I understand...

As for questions, I'm a doctor.

I think I know what questions
to ask my patients.

But you're so convinced that
everybody has to follow your lead,

you're making this
into something that it's not.

Wow.

Odell has finally
figured you out, hasn't he?

Guy's got you running
and telling him anything and everything

as long as he lets you play in the lab.

I see Odell perfectly clearly

and I am not "playing."

Tell me you weren't just talking to him
just now behind my back.

I don't need your permission
to talk to anyone.

No, you don't.

Talk about me, tell him exactly
how my powers work.

Lights out.

You should trust me.

Oh, my God!

Oh, my God!

I don't believe it!

Thank you, Lord.

Let me look at you, son.

Khalil?

Are you okay?

Nichelle Payne?

You don't know me?

I don't need to.

What's happened to you?

How come you don't know
your own mother...

Oh, God...

Hit him. Hit him.

Stop, stop, stop, stop!

Just 'cause we're in here like animals
does not mean we have to act like it.

Can we please hold on to our dignity?

Damn, hold on to something?

Hey, shut up, bitch. You're next.

You all are the bitches.

And believe me,
this ain't a problem you want.

Hold up, hold up! Where you going?

Come back.

Get up, come on, get up.

Stop! Stop!

I guess we can't hold on, huh?

Everything's different now.

And so am I.
