Previously on
Black Lightning...

Your body has reverted
to its natural age

and is experiencing withdrawal
from the serum

that's kept you virile
for the last 30 years.

I'm Brandon. I'm new,

and I was told to ask
Jennifer Pierce for a tour.

Tavon Singley,
I'm gonna need you to come with us.

There's been a report
of meta-human powers being displayed.

What? No, that's not true.

Straight through these trees.

The Perdi, they'll have
a truck there waiting for you.

But I'm not even a meta.

Until we can prove otherwise,
this is the safer way.

I was able to put a radioactive resin

on the tires of several ASA vehicles.

This will allow us to track
their frequently traveled routes,

until they lead us to The Pit.

The results have been
nothing short of remarkable.

Every person who was infected...

...is on their way
to making a full recovery.

She's hooked.

I only saw to it that she got a taste

of the most addictive substance
on Earth.

You have the ability to do things

your father could never do, Ms. Pierce.

I can see
the constellations from here, Dad.

They just like you said they'd be.

Hi, Ma. Look, don't worry. I'm okay.

But if it wasn't for Blackbird
saving me when somebody at school

lied about me being a meta,

I'd probably still be rotting
in that ASA concentration camp.

I don't know where I am,

but here, humans and metas
live and work together.

Mr. Pierce said that
Freeland was our community.

We help each other.

All boats rise.

But that ASA occupation, it changed us,

turned us against each other.

They say that in every revolution,

there's one man with a vision.

I thought that was Black Lightning.

But after being here,

I think the only way to save Freeland

is if humans and metas

work together side by side
to stop the ASA.

Maybe then I can come home.

Look, I love y'all both.

Interesting.

Are we dancing or are we sparring,
you meta freak?

That fun exploding heart technique.

Take five steps...

and boom.

Are you serious?

No. No, I'm not serious.

Downloaded Black Belt Theater
last night.

I mean, what's knowledge
without a little culture. Am I right?

Oh, that's right.

My venom coursing through
your veins right now

must make it difficult for you to think.

Do you have kids, Sergeant?

A religious man, perhaps?

You see, I often ponder my victims'

last thoughts before they die.

And the truth is...

it's fascinating to me.

That's enough!

Have the infirmary administer
the antivenom immediately.

Yes, sir.

Painkiller.

The vigilante known as Blackbird
has become a high-value target.

This is a problem
that requires your attention.

Last night I saw a superhero
He was black

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

Your vitals are spiking, Erica.
How do you feel?

I'm okay, Dr. Stewart.

I'm gonna ask you to push yourself now.

Let your power absorb
the kinetic energy,

but don't release it until I say, okay?

Now.

Lynn.

You okay?

I didn't mean to wake you up.
You should go back to sleep.

I'm fine.

Wait. Are you going somewhere?

The curfew.

Curfew doesn't apply to the ASA.

I need to go to the lab.
You should get some sleep.

I know that look.

What look would that be?

An afterglow, a midnight epiphany.

All right, so...

when can I expect to see you?

Like two, three days a week?

I cured the meta-virus,
but this occupation won't end

until I stabilize the meta-gene itself.

I'm close. I have all the pieces.

I just... If I can decipher them...

I just need to get to the lab
and run some tests.

Okay, okay. I love you.

I love you too.

Good evening, citizens of Freeland.

Truthteller Johnson
with another Resistance Alert

tailored especially for you.

There are rumors spread by the ASA

claiming the recent assault
on our very own Precinct 13

was made by those evil Markovians.

Don't believe the hype.

What the ASA doesn't want you to know

is they were illegally holding
citizens of Freeland.

It was the Blackbird herself
who risked life and limb to save them.

And it's to her,
we raise our glass tonight.

Stay safe out there. That's the truth.

I had some help, but I'll take it.

Hope you can handle it.

This is Truthteller Johnson signing off.

The school bell is ringing, young lady.

There she is.

I thought I'd surprise you
with your favorite.

Ah!

That hurt.

How many times do I have to tell you
to not drag your feet?

You and our...

...tricity-like capacitors.

Jennifer.

Jennifer, are you okay?

Mm-mmm.

No, I feel funny.

Nothing is really normal.

Well, that's good, because...

We're not normal?

Yes, but, no...

Well... Look, what I was gonna say is...

it should never feel normal
living through an occupation.

The moment it does,
you will find yourself

on the wrong side of history.

The ASA...

Is protecting us
from the Markovians, yeah, I know.

Maybe the ASA is protecting us.

There is a fine line
between protecting...

...and repressing.

You know, history is full of examples of
liberators who become oppressors.

Dad. Look,

I love you, but it's way too early
for a history lesson, okay?

And I don't feel good,

so I'm just gonna take a sick day.

Wait, hold on.

I...

Hmm...

You're going to school.

You have an update, Dr. Stewart?

I believe I know how to
stabilize the meta-gene.

I thought I was lucid dreaming.

Turns out my subconscious self is quite
demanding when it wants to be heard.

Dreams of severed feet.

Dr. Jace deliberately infected
the metas of Freeland

to send me her research
sliced into the DNA of the virus.

From which she was successful
in developing a vaccine.

Yes! On closer examination
of the virus' RNA, it was revealed that

Dr. Jace used a gene-editing tool

to send me a specific amino acid chain.

What do amino acids have to do
with our meta-stabilization problem?

Everything!

Twenty amino acids like this
make up a protein chain.

This particular protein
was a byproduct of a serum

that was the predecessor
to the metagenic vaccine in Green Light.

Once it's metabolized in a human host,

it strengthens
the mitochondrial membrane

potential of meta cells significantly.

Don't you see?

Dr. Jace sent me the protein
I needed to theoretically

stabilize the meta-gene permanently.

The only problem is,
it can't be synthesized in the lab,

it has to be extracted
from a human host.

Any human host will suffice?

Well, that where it gets strange.

According to the ASA database,

only one patient survived
taking the serum.

Patient 49.

New information has come to light
and the vigilante known as Blackbird

is now wanted in connection with

the recent assault
on police headquarters

as well as the abduction
of several prisoners,

including that of a minor.

As Freeland's acting Chief of Police,

I implore anyone
with information on this matter

to contact local law enforcement,

and a $50,000 reward
is now being offered

for any information leading to
the arrest of this individual.

Remember, folks,
if you see something, say something.

All right.

Oh, I saw that.
What do you want me to say about it?

No, no, no, no.
That's all right, it's all right.

Fifty K.

More like 30 silver pieces to me.

You ought to be
ashamed of yourself, son.

All right. It's all right.

The ASA murdered our boy.

And now they're covering it up.

They expect us to believe this

Blackbird broke our baby
out of a fully armed police station?

Mr. and Mrs. Singley,

Tavon is a very special student
here at Garfield.

But the ASA didn't murder him.

Then... where is my son?

Where is he?

Tavon was identified as a meta.

Our son was no meta.

We took their test
and registered a month ago.

Look! Here's the paperwork to prove it.

Tavon tested negative for the meta-gene.

A student swatted on my boy,

and now he's gone.

The ASA knew our son wasn't a meta.

They didn't care.

The law doesn't matter
any more in Freeland.

It's the metas who brought this misery
to Freeland in the first place.

If it wasn't for them,
Tavon would be in school.

Look, all we want is our boy back.

If you could find out
something, anything...

- Please, Mr. Pierce...
- Please.

We're going out of our minds.

Okay, you have my word.

All right, so the vaccine
will make you immune

to the virus that
has been hitting metas.

You sure this is necessary?

Anti-vaxxer much?

I meant the babysitter
you called for me.

I survived this occupation
for a month without you.

And neither of us know
how your shape-shifting cells

will respond to this vaccine.

And since my father
has already proven a trigger for you,

I need someone else here I can trust
to look after you while I'm out.

And Gambi's no stranger.

You didn't watch the video
Shonda cued up for you?

Which films would you like to view?

Ask her anything and she'll do it.

I don't feel comfortable with that.

Doesn't it feels like slavery?

Do not emancipate...

...my smart home.

Shonda is a robot.

Yeah, and robot comes
from the Czech word robota.

It means "forced labor." So...

You have a visitor,
Anissa, fairest of them all.

- Shall I permit entry?
- Wha...

Yes, Shonda. Thank you.

It is my pleasure to serve you.

Hey.

Hey.

I should have checked
for food allergies.

I'm sorry, I just...

All right, well, I hope that
there is no objection to...

fettuccine alfredo.

Grace, meet my Uncle Gambi.

I thought you'd be black.

I thought you'd have leopard spots.

Looks like we have a lot to talk about.

All right, look.
I'll be out late. Don't wait up.

We'll be fine.
If anything goes wrong, I'm here.

And, Anissa, remember.
Be careful out there.

Blackbird has a price on her head.

Stay... I've got a bad feeling.

Hey, I am meta-fabulous.

I'll be fine.

Okay?

Come here.

All right. You two have fun.

We'll be fine.

Say...

do you want to see some of
Anissa's baby pictures?

Yeah.

So today, we'll be learning
the basics of coding.

All those apps you love to use...

now you can create them yourselves.

Hey, Brandon.

Brandon.

Yes, Your Highness?

Look, not today, pretty boy.

Prove chivalry isn't dead
and give me your jacket, all right?

I'm freezing.

Here.

Hey, you're welcome.

All right, everyone, just remain calm.

It's probably just a power surge.

I'll be right back.

You okay, Jen?

Yeah. Just a bad comedown.

I was flying high
on pure energy last night,

and now I feel like
gravity's crushing me, you know.

It must have been some party.

Best way to beat a hangover?

Electrolytes.

Thank you. I'll hit you back, okay?

Patient 49, as requested.

- You look lost, Chief.
- We need to talk.

Afternoon rush about to hit, but...

- Here you go.
- This should hold you out until then.

All right, everybody, listen up.

In 60 seconds, the ASA rolls in here.

They will be verifying

- your registration cards.
- Man, wha...

If you do not possess one,
you will be taking a ride downtown.

Hey.

Hey...

Have a nice day.

Bro, was all that necessary?

They ain't never coming back now.

Oh...

You stealing supplies

from the ASA and selling them at markup?

Occupation's been good to you,
huh, Two-Bits?

Make you feel like a big man

profiting while everybody else
around you suffers?

Better than goose-stepping with the ASA.

Is that what you think I'm doing?

I didn't say nothing, man.

Why are you hounding me anyway?

Hey, I did miss.

You're under arrest
for assaulting a police officer

and for the possession of stolen goods.

You have the right to remain silent.

Anything you say can and will be held
against you in a court of law.

Goose-step that.

Listen to me.

Inoculate everyone here

before we take them
outside the perimeter.

I'll deliver the rest
of the vaccine to the Perdi tonight.

The good Lord works in mysterious ways.

Now, if I'm being honest,

I can't handle much more mystery.

But we're very thankful
for the guardian angel he did send.

Get them prepped and ready to go.

Make sure they're all wearing black.

I hope this isn't a bad time.
You have a secure call waiting.

Put it through.

Hey, Gambi, what's up?

No, it's me.

Dad? Wait. Is everything okay?

Mixed bag. I need to talk to you.

Look, the train's about to leave.

Yeah, I know. Look, I need
you to bring Tavon back to Freeland.

What the hell? No!

Look, his parents are worried sick,
all right? They think he's dead.

He will be, if I do that.

The ASA is hunting
metas down. And Tavon...

Tavon was misidentified.

He is not a meta.

All right? Now, he needs
to be with his family.

Besides, they're looking
for you taking people out,

not bringing them back in.

Too dangerous.

There is a price on my head.

And getting past ASA
is not as easy as I make it look.

What if Grace was taken by the ASA?

Wouldn't you do everything
in your power to get her back?

I'll see what I can do.

But for the record...

this is a bad idea.

More mouths to feed?

You live on a farm. Here.

We don't need any more of your money.

An epidemic has swept through Freeland.

The virus...

targets metas, specifically.

You heard of Ebola?

This is more lethal and contagious.

We're isolated, we're safe.

You've already been exposed.

There is enough vaccine
to inoculate every meta here.

Here.

Excuse me while I go save my people
from the plague you brought.

Hey, look, nice, really nice
most of the time.

She's just a little scared.

Yeah, me too.

How you holding up, Tavon?

I miss my parents.

Look, I made a couple of videos
for them on my phone.

You think you could take it
to 'em for me?

You want to take it to 'em yourself?

Really? What, you gonna take me home?

Your parents have proof
that you're not a meta.

Now, it's going to be dangerous,

but if you're willing to
take the risk...

Yeah.

I trust you're aware that

Blackbird has been sighted
leaving the perimeter?

I cross-referenced her prior breaches

against Freeland's power grid.

She's following the grid's fluctuations,

slipping through
the weak windows as they pass.

Can you predict
her next window of re-entry?

I'm sitting on it now.

Happy hunting.

I'm a fan of your work, Mrs. Pierce.

It's Dr. Stewart.

Oh...

It's gonna be that way.

I figured given our history...

Fair enough.

Like I said, I love watching you work.

Tell me, how many of
those pod kids did you kill?

Ten or twelve?

Fourteen children died in my care.

Broke me up inside watching.

I was rooting for you.

You do understand...

I have a thing for the underdog.

And the way you handled
yourself with Dr. Jace, uh...

"Float like a butterfly,
sting like a queen bee."

You've got fire, that's for
damn sure, Mrs... Dr. Stewart.

Woman after my own heart.

I'm nothing like you!

That syringe tells a different story.

This is MB4.

That's right.

This is the MB4 serum
that made you the monster that you are.

Augmented strength,

eternal youth,

all here in this syringe

that I'm about to plunge into your body.

And why give it to me, then?

Because now, you work for me,
you miserable bastard.

Like I said...

fire, Dr. Stewart.

Fire!

Grace, how're you feeling?

Everything seems normal...

for me.

Blackbird has been
spotted at the perimeter.

Orders are to not engage.
I repeat, do not engage.

What does that mean?

Trouble.

Come on, Tavon.

Stay with me.

Come on, quick.

What? You new?

ASA? Markovian?

Run!

Help! It hurts!

Don't talk, okay?
Shallow breaths.

Okay, I'm gonna get you home. I promise.

Somebody! Come in!

Blackbird, where are you?

Meet me in the tunnel.
I'm coming in hot.

Dad, hurry! It's bad.

Hi!

Thank you for seeing me
at this late hour, Ms. Pierce.

I found myself in the...

area so to... speak.

I hope I'm not interrupting anything?

No, I, uh...

Just catching up on some reading.

Tea?

I must confess that I'm very relieved
to find you safe at home.

Where else would I be after curfew?

Where else, indeed.

Do you know the vigilante, Blackbird?

Not, not personally.
I've seen the graffiti.

Uh, nice suit.

Why?

I follow data, Ms. Pierce.

And... data...

rarely lies.

The individual I seek

shares your height, weight...

and other metrics.

Yet you simply can't be
in two places at once.

What do you mean?

Uh, wha... What do you mean?

Blackbird breached the perimeter,

the ASA is engaging as we speak,

and her reign of terror
has come to an end.

Apologies

for entertaining
such a ludicrous notion.

Let you go back to reading,
and, um, good night.

Grace.

I'm fine.

Go. Anissa needs help.

Lord make me wait out of no pain.

Gonna get me some dinner,
get on out of here, and pray.

Reverend Holt. It's good
to see you on the mend.

There before the grace of God goes I.

Hmm...

What're you doing down here
at this time of night, Chief Henderson?

Oh, you know, following leads.

Tracking down the Blackbird.

You haven't seen anything
out of sorts lately, have you?

If I saw something,
I'd have said something.

The trouble is, all my leads
end right here in this church.

You care to explain?

I have no earthly idea.

I suppose those with the most sin...

cast the first stone.

Well, I'm not the one
smuggling the metas outside of Freeland.

All aboard!

Choo-choo!

Yeah, I thought that might ring a bell.

Now, come on, Chief. Listen...

You don't think I'm human trafficking?

Huh?

I am down here...

saving these poor souls.

These people have rights.

Chief Henderson, they have rights!

Reverend Holt,
you have the right to remain silent.

A right that I know that you will waive.

Now, you hear me, Chief Henderson.
You cannot arrest me here.

We are in the house of the Lord.

And He sees all.

Yeah. Between me and you,
Reverend, He's seen worse.

Come on.

I owe you a debt of gratitude,
Dr. Stewart. You made me young again.

Pay me in silence.

Your bedside manner needs work.

Tell me, what's on the ASA agenda today?

Waterboarding,

thumbscrews,

conjugal visit, perhaps?

I'm gonna extract a sample
of your bone marrow.

Hmm...

Sounds excruciating.

When a local anesthetic
is administered, it's quite painless.

After I make a small incision,

I'll insert this needle
into your pelvic bone

and extract the bone marrow.

Why me?

When your body processes the MB4 serum,

it creates a byproduct protein
I believe I could use

to stabilize the metas of Freeland.

I recently found myself
with a lot of time to contemplate

what got me in this godforsaken Pit.

And all I can come up with
is Black Lightning always showing up

whenever your daughters are in trouble.

Once is chance.

Second time is coincidence, but a third?

Now, that's a pattern.

Black Lightning saves
a lot of lives in Freeland.

This is true.

But after that boy your daughter
was dating got his spine ripped out,

some new female
firecracker-type superhero appeared

and lit my ass up...

with Black Lightning's help, of course.

Do you see the pattern?

Only the musings of a lunatic.

Humor me.

Answer this lunatic's one question.

What's your super suit
look like, Dr. Stewart?

And to think

I lie here before superhero royalty.

It all makes sense to me now.

One merry melanated meta-family

solving crimes and protecting Freeland.

You're delusional.

No, I'm not delusional.

I'll make you this promise.

After I kill Black Lightning
and that lying bastard Jefferson Pierce,

you and your beautiful daughters
will have nothing to fear from me.

I always pay my debts.

Did I neglect to administer
the anesthetic?

There!

What happened?

We got ambushed.

They hit us with some kind of poison.

I told you this was a bad idea.

Look what you've done.

Tavon, can you hear me?

Black Lightning.

No, no, no, no, Tavon.

Tavon!

No! Come on, Tavon, come on.

Tavon! Tavon! Tavon!

I'm so sorry for your loss.

Those ASA sons of bitches
murdered our boy!

Wake up!

I don't know whether
to throw Dr. Jace a party or a funeral.

I trust you've finally solved
the riddle of meta stabilization?

I'm preparing the formula now.

Testing won't be far behind.

There were no issues
with patient 49, I trust?

You could've warned me!

Tobias Whale murdered
Jefferson's father.

What happens to him
when all this is said and done?

I wouldn't concern yourself with that.

He knows my family's secrets.

Jefferson's, Anissa's,
even Jennifer's. We're vulnerable.

Highly improbable.

He threatened to murder Jefferson

and leave our girls alone,

his twisted idea of a favor

in exchange for giving him
the MB4 serum.

What exactly are you
asking me to do, Dr. Stewart?

What is the point
of all this cloak and dagger

if you cannot protect my family?

When I am done with Tobias,
you make him disappear, permanently.

Keep me... apprised.

Tavon's dead. How?

The ASA shot him trying to
escape the perimeter.

- Are you serious?
- Yeah.

There they are. The ASA.

Hey, why you punks murder Tavon?

Stand down. Return to class.

There won't be another warning.

Oh, yeah? Like you warned Tavon?

- Before you ASA asshats killed him?
- Yeah.

You know what? We are not afraid of you.

- No.
- This is Freeland.

You know, it's time the ASA
got the hell out anyway.

- Yes.
- For Tavon!

Tavon! Tavon! Tavon!

Remember his face!

Murderers!

Everybody disperse at once!

Demonstration over!

What the hell is going on?

These are kids.
They're on school property.

Hey, Jen.

Chill out, Brandon.
You'll get your jacket back soon enough.

It's not that.

- I wanted to ask...
- Calm down, sir. I repeat...

- What's going on down there?
- I don't know.

Stand down! I will have you arrested.

Tavon is dead.

Now I will not have
another kid die on my watch.

Dad!

Everybody, stay back!

I told you, stay... down!

Brandon, get off of me.
I have to help him.

No, stop. It will be a massacre.

How did you do that?

So beating my dad down like a dog

is a part of saving Freeland
from Markovia, huh?

I marched alongside
Martin Luther King, Jr.,

in the civil rights movement.

I never enjoy watching
a black man being beaten on the street.

Your men, your responsibility.

Those men responsible
did so of their own accord.

I am going to reprimand them.

Perhaps you'd care
to take a ride with me?

All right, I'll raise you ten.

Let's see your hand.

Who the hell are you supposed to be?

Hey, did you have to leave us here
the whole night? Damn!

I demand to know the meaning
behind this, Chief Henderson.

I want to know!

Careful, Reverend.

Get on the ground!

Tavon Singley and Jefferson Pierce
are the spark we needed.

"We"?

What exactly are you saying?

The people of Freeland
are ready to fight now.

We've all been working independently,

nickel-and-diming these bastards,

but it's time to join forces,

run the ASA out of here,
take our freedom back.

So, you've been leading
the insurgents this whole time?

I'm just a man
trying to do what's right.

Join us.

We'll be crucified if we try to
take the ASA on by ourselves.

But who said we by ourselves?

And the scales fell from his eyes,

turning Saul to Paul.

My man.
