Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:00:05,881 --> 00:00:06,541
[Lynn] You have to stop.
2
00:00:06,757 --> 00:00:09,670
I can't keep letting you put
yourself, or me through this.
3
00:00:10,302 --> 00:00:11,337
I promise...
4
00:00:12,179 --> 00:00:13,179
I10 more.
5
00:00:13,222 --> 00:00:14,542
[Jefferson] It has
been nine years
6
00:00:14,681 --> 00:00:16,718
since I've even come
close to using my powers.
7
00:00:16,934 --> 00:00:19,094
[Gambi] Do you remember
why you became Black Lightning?
8
00:00:19,186 --> 00:00:20,676
You wanted to give
the people hope.
9
00:00:22,022 --> 00:00:23,512
[Anissa] Somebody
has to do something,
10
00:00:23,732 --> 00:00:26,690
because all of this policing,
and marching, and praying,
11
00:00:26,902 --> 00:00:28,358
it hasn't changed anything.
12
00:00:30,948 --> 00:00:31,948
[grunting]
13
00:00:33,867 --> 00:00:35,824
[Jefferson] It is time
that people know
14
00:00:36,328 --> 00:00:37,614
that Black Lightning...
15
00:00:39,414 --> 00:00:40,414
is back.
16
00:00:42,459 --> 00:00:44,139
[narrator] Previously
on Black Lightning...
17
00:00:48,590 --> 00:00:49,590
It's my breathing.
18
00:00:50,092 --> 00:00:51,503
- Wanna be my girlfriend?
- Yeah.
19
00:00:54,596 --> 00:00:55,596
[chuckles]
20
00:00:56,098 --> 00:00:57,098
Grace.
21
00:00:57,432 --> 00:01:01,596
Yeah, I... I saved more lives
as the principal of Garfield High
22
00:01:01,812 --> 00:01:03,172
than I ever did as
Black Lightning.
23
00:01:03,272 --> 00:01:04,637
- It's true.
- It's a lie!
24
00:01:04,856 --> 00:01:06,938
LaWanda is dead. But
I could've saved her.
25
00:01:09,736 --> 00:01:10,350
You'll be ready.
26
00:01:10,571 --> 00:01:11,571
[Lala] Damn, boss.
27
00:01:11,697 --> 00:01:14,509
[Tobias] If the people of Freeland start
to perceive we are no longer in control,
28
00:01:14,533 --> 00:01:15,898
then they won't fear us.
29
00:01:16,118 --> 00:01:17,859
And I surely can't have that.
30
00:01:18,829 --> 00:01:20,445
For all you lost, Lady Eve.
31
00:01:21,123 --> 00:01:22,739
Take Reverend
Holt, for instance.
32
00:01:22,958 --> 00:01:23,698
[men chanting] Freedom!
33
00:01:23,917 --> 00:01:25,453
[Lady Eve] He's
planning a march.
34
00:01:25,669 --> 00:01:27,910
I don't mind people
believing in God.
35
00:01:28,130 --> 00:01:32,624
They just can't believe that
they can take back these streets.
36
00:01:35,596 --> 00:01:36,596
[groans]
37
00:01:42,227 --> 00:01:43,246
[student 1] Hey,
what's going on?
38
00:01:43,270 --> 00:01:45,682
[indistinct chatter]
39
00:01:45,897 --> 00:01:47,709
[student 2] Oh, my God! Do
you guys hear that? Who is he?
40
00:01:47,733 --> 00:01:48,893
[student 1] What is going on?
41
00:01:48,942 --> 00:01:50,432
Principal Pierce!
Principal Pierce!
42
00:01:50,652 --> 00:01:52,255
There's someone freaking
out in the boy's bathroom.
43
00:01:52,279 --> 00:01:53,279
[boy screams]
44
00:01:53,447 --> 00:01:54,727
Okay, find Vice Principal Fowdy.
45
00:01:54,781 --> 00:01:56,581
Tell her I said to get
security over here now.
46
00:01:56,783 --> 00:01:58,444
[school bell rings]
47
00:01:58,702 --> 00:02:00,192
Get to class. Get to class.
48
00:02:01,288 --> 00:02:03,074
[boy screaming]
49
00:02:05,292 --> 00:02:07,704
[grunting]
50
00:02:07,919 --> 00:02:09,284
Bernard?
51
00:02:09,588 --> 00:02:11,295
[screams]
52
00:02:11,506 --> 00:02:12,525
Come on, Bernard, talk to me.
53
00:02:12,549 --> 00:02:13,630
[panting]
54
00:02:15,010 --> 00:02:16,250
Principal Pierce?
55
00:02:18,930 --> 00:02:19,590
I don't know what happened.
56
00:02:19,806 --> 00:02:21,012
We can talk about that later.
57
00:02:21,475 --> 00:02:22,840
[grunting]
58
00:02:23,060 --> 00:02:24,266
You scared me half to death.
59
00:02:24,853 --> 00:02:26,969
[grunting and groaning]
60
00:02:27,230 --> 00:02:28,230
Bernard?
61
00:02:28,398 --> 00:02:29,398
[grunting]
62
00:02:29,858 --> 00:02:30,858
Bernard!
63
00:02:32,569 --> 00:02:33,569
Bernard!
64
00:02:37,240 --> 00:02:38,355
[effort grunts]
65
00:03:08,730 --> 00:03:10,061
[door opens]
66
00:03:13,068 --> 00:03:14,399
- You okay?
- Yeah.
67
00:03:14,778 --> 00:03:16,314
What the hell did that boy take?
68
00:03:20,659 --> 00:03:22,195
[hip-hop music
playing on stereo]
69
00:03:34,339 --> 00:03:35,795
[indistinct chattering]
70
00:03:37,718 --> 00:03:39,334
- What the...
- [lowers volume]
71
00:03:44,975 --> 00:03:46,953
[boy] You know what I'm ea
yin'? Don't tell your mom and dad.
72
00:03:46,977 --> 00:03:48,968
[Lisa] I wanna
try it, I wanna...
73
00:03:51,565 --> 00:03:52,565
[music stops]
74
00:03:53,150 --> 00:03:54,390
Lisa. Neema.
75
00:03:55,777 --> 00:03:57,768
Oh, no, it's Harriet Tubman.
76
00:03:58,029 --> 00:03:59,389
- Get away from them.
- Ms. Pierce?
77
00:03:59,531 --> 00:04:00,531
Get in the car.
78
00:04:01,450 --> 00:04:02,450
Now.
79
00:04:04,161 --> 00:04:05,367
[sighs]
80
00:04:06,955 --> 00:04:09,572
How do you sleep at night selling
that junk to your own people?
81
00:04:10,083 --> 00:04:11,083
I sleep fine.
82
00:04:11,126 --> 00:04:12,520
You better stay away
from my students.
83
00:04:12,544 --> 00:04:13,544
Or what?
84
00:04:17,966 --> 00:04:19,001
That's what I thought.
85
00:04:20,677 --> 00:04:21,917
- That bitch crazy, man.
- Shh.
86
00:04:22,179 --> 00:04:23,385
What did you say?
87
00:04:23,764 --> 00:04:24,879
You heard me, bitch!
88
00:04:28,310 --> 00:04:31,473
[boy] You know what's
up. Watch the ball.
89
00:04:47,662 --> 00:04:48,993
I found these on my student.
90
00:04:49,706 --> 00:04:51,976
And he was so out of control
that the only way I could keep him
91
00:04:52,000 --> 00:04:55,083
from hurting anyone
was to blast him. Twice.
92
00:04:55,462 --> 00:04:57,822
Must be this new drug, Green
Light, I've been hearing about.
93
00:04:58,256 --> 00:05:00,167
First Jennifer and
Anissa get kidnapped,
94
00:05:00,467 --> 00:05:02,128
then Reverend Holt
and Khalil get shot,
95
00:05:02,344 --> 00:05:04,676
and now one of my
students damn near OD's.
96
00:05:05,597 --> 00:05:08,259
It's like this city is under
attack, and we're losing.
97
00:05:08,475 --> 00:05:10,057
You only lose if
you stop fighting.
98
00:05:10,727 --> 00:05:11,954
But you can't save
everyone, Jeff.
99
00:05:11,978 --> 00:05:13,164
You're just gonna
have to accept that.
100
00:05:13,188 --> 00:05:14,678
We need to go hard
at The One Hundred.
101
00:05:14,898 --> 00:05:15,603
You sure it's them?
102
00:05:15,816 --> 00:05:17,602
Who else would be
dealing in Freeland?
103
00:05:17,818 --> 00:05:19,855
One Hundred have got
their hands in everything.
104
00:05:20,070 --> 00:05:21,130
We could waste a lot of time
105
00:05:21,154 --> 00:05:22,799
going after the wrong
part of their business.
106
00:05:22,823 --> 00:05:24,313
I know all the
street-level guys,
107
00:05:24,741 --> 00:05:26,261
but I don't know
any of the higher-ups.
108
00:05:26,660 --> 00:05:27,991
I'll reach out to my contacts.
109
00:05:28,203 --> 00:05:30,069
Okay. And after I
check in with the family,
110
00:05:30,288 --> 00:05:31,744
I'm gonna hit the
streets tonight.
111
00:05:32,165 --> 00:05:33,405
See what I can find out.
112
00:05:33,625 --> 00:05:35,036
Sounds like a full night.
113
00:05:37,379 --> 00:05:38,379
[electricity crackling]
114
00:05:38,547 --> 00:05:39,207
[Jefferson] What'd you hear?
115
00:05:39,422 --> 00:05:40,817
[man] Or what? I told
you I don't know nothing.
116
00:05:40,841 --> 00:05:41,922
Where can I find him?
117
00:05:44,386 --> 00:05:46,506
I told you, I don't know
nothing about no Green Light.
118
00:05:46,763 --> 00:05:48,363
Yeah, well, you better
tell me something.
119
00:05:48,640 --> 00:05:50,280
'Cause I ain't in the
best of moods, bruh.
120
00:05:50,308 --> 00:05:51,308
Snitches get...
121
00:05:54,020 --> 00:05:55,020
[groaning]
122
00:05:55,146 --> 00:05:56,261
Snitches get what?
123
00:05:56,481 --> 00:05:57,516
[panting]
124
00:05:57,732 --> 00:05:58,732
Who do you work for?
125
00:05:58,775 --> 00:05:59,895
I ain't telling you nothing.
126
00:06:00,068 --> 00:06:01,068
All right.
127
00:06:01,319 --> 00:06:02,935
I can do this all night.
128
00:06:03,697 --> 00:06:07,065
So one way or the other,
you gonna tell me something.
129
00:06:07,325 --> 00:06:09,191
Okay! Okay, okay. Okay.
130
00:06:11,121 --> 00:06:12,121
Two-Bits.
131
00:06:13,874 --> 00:06:14,874
Two-Bits?
132
00:06:15,125 --> 00:06:17,725
I know it sounds like a '70s slave
name, but that's what he go by.
133
00:06:20,171 --> 00:06:21,171
Where can I find him?
134
00:06:21,631 --> 00:06:23,042
Tanner's Taproom on 7th.
135
00:06:23,258 --> 00:06:24,258
All right.
136
00:06:25,635 --> 00:06:26,716
Say good night.
137
00:06:37,898 --> 00:06:38,898
[Lady Eve] Tobias...
138
00:06:39,524 --> 00:06:40,935
did you know that in Africa
139
00:06:41,151 --> 00:06:44,644
some people believe
that albinos are magical?
140
00:06:45,572 --> 00:06:48,655
These people will actually
kidnap random albinos,
141
00:06:49,326 --> 00:06:51,237
cut them up, grind their bones,
142
00:06:51,578 --> 00:06:54,366
and sell it as magic dust.
143
00:06:54,664 --> 00:06:56,371
Yes, I'm aware of that.
144
00:06:57,000 --> 00:06:59,287
I admire how you
reinvented yourself
145
00:06:59,753 --> 00:07:03,417
after you lost your
career as a politician.
146
00:07:03,715 --> 00:07:07,754
You went underground, built
a whole new career with us,
147
00:07:08,511 --> 00:07:11,253
and, when we rewarded
you with The One Hundred,
148
00:07:12,140 --> 00:07:13,255
you did a good job.
149
00:07:13,725 --> 00:07:15,090
- But?
- But...
150
00:07:15,518 --> 00:07:18,226
ever since Black Lightning
returned to Freeland,
151
00:07:18,772 --> 00:07:22,185
my partners have
become less confident
152
00:07:22,484 --> 00:07:24,771
in your ability to lead
The One Hundred.
153
00:07:28,323 --> 00:07:30,280
Is there something
you would like to say?
154
00:07:30,492 --> 00:07:32,699
I've literally made
you millions of dollars,
155
00:07:33,954 --> 00:07:36,321
and you giving me a hard
time over one mistake?
156
00:07:36,539 --> 00:07:38,496
But it isn't one mistake.
157
00:07:39,376 --> 00:07:40,992
It's your reputation.
158
00:07:41,795 --> 00:07:44,753
Your entire criminal
career was built on the belief
159
00:07:44,965 --> 00:07:47,832
that you killed Black
Lightning nine years ago,
160
00:07:48,802 --> 00:07:53,512
when nobody else could. It's...
it's like you lied on your resume.
161
00:07:54,391 --> 00:07:56,849
Black Lightning's death
was your calling card,
162
00:07:57,185 --> 00:08:01,975
and now people are beginning
to feel like they've been deceived,
163
00:08:02,357 --> 00:08:04,564
and it's messing
with my bottom line.
164
00:08:04,776 --> 00:08:06,858
I got people paying
up on protection,
165
00:08:07,237 --> 00:08:09,399
and that's offsetting
any lost revenue.
166
00:08:10,115 --> 00:08:13,028
And I'm gonna take Black
Lightning out, once and for all.
167
00:08:13,243 --> 00:08:16,201
How am I supposed to believe
168
00:08:16,413 --> 00:08:18,450
that you can take out
Black Lightning now,
169
00:08:18,665 --> 00:08:20,281
when you couldn't
take him out then?
170
00:08:20,875 --> 00:08:24,743
And on top of that, you're
making a lot of noise.
171
00:08:26,131 --> 00:08:28,372
Your men shot a reverend
172
00:08:28,925 --> 00:08:31,041
and paralyzed a kid.
173
00:08:31,261 --> 00:08:33,719
They were talking about
that kid going to the Olympics.
174
00:08:33,930 --> 00:08:35,170
He wasn't going to no Olympics.
175
00:08:35,223 --> 00:08:36,839
Well, he isn't now.
176
00:08:37,559 --> 00:08:38,890
And that's for sure.
177
00:08:40,854 --> 00:08:44,142
You... You need to
take Black Lightning out,
178
00:08:44,399 --> 00:08:47,357
and button this thing up quick.
179
00:08:48,194 --> 00:08:49,980
I'm not gonna tell you
how to run your crew,
180
00:08:50,196 --> 00:08:53,063
but if I were you, I
would use some of that
181
00:08:53,700 --> 00:08:56,067
albino magic to get it done.
182
00:08:57,120 --> 00:08:58,736
Because if you don't,
183
00:09:00,206 --> 00:09:03,119
my partners are gonna
turn you into dust.
184
00:09:06,463 --> 00:09:07,953
Do you understand?
185
00:09:09,215 --> 00:09:10,215
Yes.
186
00:09:10,592 --> 00:09:11,592
Good.
187
00:09:13,053 --> 00:09:14,543
[Lady Eve humming]
188
00:09:32,739 --> 00:09:34,699
I'm glad to see you're
back on your feet, Bernard.
189
00:09:37,243 --> 00:09:38,483
How you feeling?
190
00:09:38,870 --> 00:09:39,870
He's fine.
191
00:09:42,248 --> 00:09:43,989
You know you really
gave me a scare.
192
00:09:45,335 --> 00:09:46,335
Yeah, I know.
193
00:09:47,462 --> 00:09:48,793
Look, I'm sorry.
194
00:09:49,881 --> 00:09:51,622
We got an e-mail from the board.
195
00:09:51,925 --> 00:09:53,757
Says Bernard's
gonna get expelled.
196
00:09:55,011 --> 00:09:56,797
We wanted to ask
for a second chance.
197
00:09:57,138 --> 00:09:59,505
Bernard's never
been in any trouble,
198
00:09:59,724 --> 00:10:02,386
and he just got acceptance
letters from four colleges.
199
00:10:02,769 --> 00:10:04,510
This is gonna
mess everything up.
200
00:10:05,188 --> 00:10:06,474
Bernard's not going anywhere...
201
00:10:07,190 --> 00:10:08,726
but to college.
202
00:10:10,610 --> 00:10:12,351
- I promise.
- Thank you.
203
00:10:14,614 --> 00:10:18,983
Now, Bernard, um, I do need to
know where you got those drugs.
204
00:10:19,202 --> 00:10:20,988
Come on, Mr. Pierce,
I ain't no snitch.
205
00:10:21,204 --> 00:10:23,571
Yes, you are. Tell him.
206
00:10:27,127 --> 00:10:31,371
[sighs] I, uh, I got it from
this dude in the neighborhood,
207
00:10:32,382 --> 00:10:33,713
uh, Ronald Wright.
208
00:10:35,051 --> 00:10:36,792
He said the first
taste was free.
209
00:10:45,728 --> 00:10:48,060
- Where's the future?
- It's right here.
210
00:10:48,314 --> 00:10:49,314
Whose life is this?
211
00:10:51,401 --> 00:10:52,015
It's mine.
212
00:10:52,235 --> 00:10:53,395
What're you gonna do with it?
213
00:10:53,945 --> 00:10:55,435
I'mma live it by any
means necessary.
214
00:10:55,655 --> 00:10:56,395
What're you gonna do with it?
215
00:10:56,614 --> 00:10:58,946
I'mma live it by any
means necessary.
216
00:11:02,704 --> 00:11:03,944
We're gonna figure this out.
217
00:11:05,456 --> 00:11:07,072
- Thank you, Principal Pierce.
- Yeah.
218
00:11:10,503 --> 00:11:11,503
Thank you. You're welcome.
219
00:11:19,220 --> 00:11:21,211
The board will never let
Bernard stay at Garfield.
220
00:11:21,431 --> 00:11:23,468
The bylaws clearly
state that it's my decision.
221
00:11:24,559 --> 00:11:25,911
You know, you seem
a bit more concerned
222
00:11:25,935 --> 00:11:27,913
about what the board wants
than what's good for these kids.
223
00:11:27,937 --> 00:11:31,146
Tell the board that it's my
decision and my decision alone.
224
00:11:31,357 --> 00:11:33,689
I care about Garfield
as much as you,
225
00:11:35,153 --> 00:11:37,190
and I'm the vice principal,
not your secretary.
226
00:11:37,405 --> 00:11:40,325
So if you want the board to know
something, you should tell them yourself.
227
00:11:50,668 --> 00:11:52,033
[indistinct chatter on radio]
228
00:11:52,253 --> 00:11:54,039
[cell phone rings]
229
00:11:54,255 --> 00:11:54,869
Yeah?
230
00:11:55,089 --> 00:11:57,046
The drugs that
came into the school
231
00:11:57,550 --> 00:11:59,382
came from a guy
named Ronald Wright.
232
00:11:59,928 --> 00:12:01,544
- Really?
- What?
233
00:12:01,763 --> 00:12:03,800
I'm looking at
Mr. Wright's body right now.
234
00:12:04,015 --> 00:12:05,055
What do you mean his body?
235
00:12:05,099 --> 00:12:07,056
He's dead. OD'd on Green Light.
236
00:12:07,894 --> 00:12:11,057
Evidently, Mr. Wright didn't follow the
number one rule of being a drug dealer,
237
00:12:11,439 --> 00:12:13,146
"Don't get high on
your own supply."
238
00:12:14,108 --> 00:12:15,788
What'd you get from
that dealer last night?
239
00:12:15,902 --> 00:12:18,189
His distributor is a
guy named Two-Bits.
240
00:12:18,404 --> 00:12:20,065
[chuckles] Is that
like Huggy Bear?
241
00:12:20,281 --> 00:12:22,067
[chuckles] You got jokes today.
242
00:12:22,742 --> 00:12:24,858
You know things are bad
when drug dealers are OD-ing.
243
00:12:25,078 --> 00:12:27,786
I actually know Two-Bits.
I grew up with him.
244
00:12:28,039 --> 00:12:30,827
I mean, he was a
bit younger than me,
245
00:12:31,042 --> 00:12:32,453
but I used to know
him pretty well.
246
00:12:32,877 --> 00:12:33,877
What're you thinking?
247
00:12:34,254 --> 00:12:37,497
I'm thinking this is gonna get
a lot worse before it gets better.
248
00:12:40,134 --> 00:12:42,171
- [Khalil grunting]
- [nurse] Easy.
249
00:12:44,097 --> 00:12:46,429
Easy. Easy. Easy-
250
00:12:48,351 --> 00:12:49,351
Good job.
251
00:12:49,394 --> 00:12:50,394
[sighs]
252
00:12:50,520 --> 00:12:51,520
You okay?
253
00:12:52,272 --> 00:12:54,263
Yeah. Yeah. This is easy.
254
00:12:54,482 --> 00:12:55,482
[chuckles]
255
00:12:56,025 --> 00:12:57,390
All right, I'll get you a towel.
256
00:13:00,446 --> 00:13:02,549
[nurse 1] I don't know why
they're leading that boy on like that.
257
00:13:02,573 --> 00:13:04,051
[nurse 2] There's a
chance he might walk.
258
00:13:04,075 --> 00:13:07,193
[nurse 1] His spinal cord was
nearly severed. Why get his hopes up?
259
00:13:07,412 --> 00:13:08,902
[nurse 2] It's a
shame. He's so young.
260
00:13:09,122 --> 00:13:10,237
Hey!
261
00:13:10,456 --> 00:13:11,656
What the hell is your problem?
262
00:13:12,417 --> 00:13:13,417
What?
263
00:13:14,085 --> 00:13:15,166
He can hear you.
264
00:13:16,254 --> 00:13:17,254
I'm sorry.
265
00:13:23,761 --> 00:13:24,761
You okay?
266
00:13:25,263 --> 00:13:26,263
Yeah.
267
00:13:26,889 --> 00:13:29,170
Look, it don't matter what
they think. They don't know me.
268
00:13:30,351 --> 00:13:31,762
I'mma be all right.
269
00:13:33,062 --> 00:13:34,062
Yeah, I know.
270
00:13:35,773 --> 00:13:36,888
I know you will.
271
00:13:48,536 --> 00:13:50,402
[sobbing]
272
00:13:59,839 --> 00:14:01,250
[groaning]
273
00:14:02,383 --> 00:14:05,341
You lied to me. You told
me Black Lightning was dead.
274
00:14:05,553 --> 00:14:07,419
You said you
personally saw the body.
275
00:14:07,638 --> 00:14:09,128
I thought... I mean, I saw...
276
00:14:09,349 --> 00:14:11,681
Look, I don't have time for
your lies. What happened?
277
00:14:11,893 --> 00:14:14,180
The body came out of the
river where Black Lightning fell.
278
00:14:14,479 --> 00:14:16,206
How many people
could've fallen into that river?
279
00:14:16,230 --> 00:14:16,935
I thought it was him.
280
00:14:17,148 --> 00:14:18,638
What do you mean you thought?
281
00:14:18,858 --> 00:14:21,896
My boss put the body from
the river in the crematorium.
282
00:14:22,111 --> 00:14:23,711
Was he dressed like
Earth, Wind and Fire?
283
00:14:24,072 --> 00:14:25,483
What? [Grunts]
284
00:14:25,782 --> 00:14:28,382
Was the body your boss put in
the fire dressed like Maurice White?
285
00:14:28,493 --> 00:14:29,858
[chuckles]
286
00:14:30,078 --> 00:14:33,241
Did you personally see Black
Lightning's body burn or not?
287
00:14:34,665 --> 00:14:36,247
My entire situation's
in jeopardy,
288
00:14:36,459 --> 00:14:39,167
because you didn't do
what you was paid to do.
289
00:14:40,713 --> 00:14:43,080
You were supposed to
confirm Black Lightning's death.
290
00:14:43,966 --> 00:14:45,707
Well, since Black
Lightning ain't dead,
291
00:14:47,678 --> 00:14:48,759
you owe me a death.
292
00:14:49,305 --> 00:14:50,305
What?
293
00:14:51,224 --> 00:14:54,637
What? No. No. No. No!
294
00:14:54,894 --> 00:14:55,894
[grunting]
295
00:15:06,322 --> 00:15:08,404
Mmm-mmm. Come
in here, young lady.
296
00:15:09,867 --> 00:15:11,858
Well, the main reason
you have that phone
297
00:15:12,578 --> 00:15:14,418
is so that when we need
to contact you, we can.
298
00:15:14,455 --> 00:15:16,867
I'm... I'm sorry. It died
when I was visiting Khalil.
299
00:15:17,083 --> 00:15:19,083
Well, your coach called
us to see if you were okay.
300
00:15:19,252 --> 00:15:19,992
Yeah, everything's fine.
301
00:15:20,211 --> 00:15:21,754
Well, if everything's
fine, why you leaving
302
00:15:21,766 --> 00:15:23,357
practice early and
disrespecting your coach?
303
00:15:23,381 --> 00:15:25,818
I told him that I needed to help
Khalil with his physical therapy,
304
00:15:25,842 --> 00:15:27,027
and he still tried
to make me stay.
305
00:15:27,051 --> 00:15:28,612
[Jefferson] Look, we know
you've been through a lot,
306
00:15:28,636 --> 00:15:30,877
but with school,
track, helping Khalil,
307
00:15:31,097 --> 00:15:33,242
your mother and I think you
have a little too much on your plate.
308
00:15:33,266 --> 00:15:35,473
So, maybe you should
spend less time with Khalil,
309
00:15:35,685 --> 00:15:37,767
and more time on
school and yourself.
310
00:15:38,020 --> 00:15:39,602
Dad, Khalil needs me.
311
00:15:40,231 --> 00:15:42,191
The reason his mom can't
be there for his rehab is
312
00:15:42,316 --> 00:15:44,516
she's taking extra shifts
to pay for his hospital bills.
313
00:15:44,610 --> 00:15:46,521
Khalil has nurses 24/7.
314
00:15:46,904 --> 00:15:47,904
Okay, look,
315
00:15:49,740 --> 00:15:51,822
we feel really bad about
what happened to Khalil.
316
00:15:52,160 --> 00:15:54,151
We do. But you
are our first concern.
317
00:15:54,704 --> 00:15:56,786
You are apologizing
to your coach tomorrow.
318
00:15:56,998 --> 00:15:57,998
[sighs]
319
00:15:58,833 --> 00:16:00,102
I don't wanna run track anymore.
320
00:16:00,126 --> 00:16:00,740
[Jefferson] What?
321
00:16:00,960 --> 00:16:02,896
No, no. You're just saying
that because you're upset.
322
00:16:02,920 --> 00:16:04,206
No. I'm not upset.
323
00:16:04,422 --> 00:16:07,276
The only reason why I ran track in
the first place was to make Dad happy.
324
00:16:07,300 --> 00:16:09,257
That... That's not
true. You love running.
325
00:16:09,552 --> 00:16:11,752
Look, let's just take a
couple of days to think about it
326
00:16:11,846 --> 00:16:13,712
before you make any
big decisions, okay?
327
00:16:13,931 --> 00:16:15,092
I'm not gonna change my mind.
328
00:16:15,349 --> 00:16:19,889
Look, if... if you feel the same
way in two days, then you can quit.
329
00:16:20,104 --> 00:16:21,104
[clears throat]
330
00:16:21,189 --> 00:16:22,189
Can I be excused?
331
00:16:22,231 --> 00:16:24,814
-Yes. You can be excused.
332
00:16:36,496 --> 00:16:38,612
If I had some kinda powers,
333
00:16:39,081 --> 00:16:41,072
I would use them.
I'm... I'm okay.
334
00:16:41,292 --> 00:16:42,292
How could you not?
335
00:16:42,418 --> 00:16:45,376
I think Black Lightning's
trying to do the right thing,
336
00:16:45,588 --> 00:16:48,455
but in doing that,
sometimes people get hurt.
337
00:16:48,674 --> 00:16:50,861
Well, Black Lightning doesn't
care about hurting people,
338
00:16:50,885 --> 00:16:51,920
- he never has.
- [scoffs]
339
00:16:52,136 --> 00:16:53,136
No offense, but...
340
00:16:53,262 --> 00:16:54,878
Whenever somebody
says "No offense,"
341
00:16:55,223 --> 00:16:57,618
it's usually right before they
say something really offensive.
342
00:16:57,642 --> 00:16:59,132
[all chuckle]
343
00:16:59,352 --> 00:17:02,014
Well, this isn't
meant to be offensive,
344
00:17:02,396 --> 00:17:05,354
but doesn't Black Lightning
have the same agenda as you?
345
00:17:05,566 --> 00:17:08,399
Except he's doing a better
job at protecting the community.
346
00:17:08,611 --> 00:17:09,191
Anissa.
347
00:17:09,403 --> 00:17:12,020
I know being a police
officer is a tough job.
348
00:17:12,240 --> 00:17:13,240
- Tough?
- Yeah.
349
00:17:13,449 --> 00:17:14,689
Impossible is more like it.
350
00:17:14,951 --> 00:17:17,271
[Inspector Henderson] Look,
Black Lightning is a vigilante.
351
00:17:17,411 --> 00:17:20,153
He is causing more
problems than he is solving.
352
00:17:20,540 --> 00:17:21,808
What about all the
people he saved?
353
00:17:21,832 --> 00:17:25,041
And what about all the people who
were indirectly hurt because of him?
354
00:17:25,503 --> 00:17:27,039
Khalil? Reverend Holt?
355
00:17:27,255 --> 00:17:30,135
I think you have to consider how
hard it is for Black Lightning's family.
356
00:17:30,341 --> 00:17:32,503
I mean, going out every
night, fighting crime.
357
00:17:32,718 --> 00:17:34,300
What does that have
to do with anything?
358
00:17:34,971 --> 00:17:36,632
I'm sure his family
supports him,
359
00:17:36,847 --> 00:17:38,258
because what
he's doing is heroic.
360
00:17:38,516 --> 00:17:40,257
- Is it?
- Yes! It is.
361
00:17:40,851 --> 00:17:42,558
Look, somebody
has to do something,
362
00:17:42,770 --> 00:17:45,728
because all of this policing,
and marching and praying,
363
00:17:45,940 --> 00:17:47,601
it hasn't changed anything.
364
00:17:48,317 --> 00:17:49,317
I'm just saying.
365
00:17:51,946 --> 00:17:53,732
I'm sorry. I have to go.
366
00:17:55,575 --> 00:17:58,988
Mr. and Mrs. Henderson,
have a good night.
367
00:17:59,203 --> 00:18:00,203
[Henderson] Good night.
368
00:18:01,080 --> 00:18:02,286
I'll see you guys later.
369
00:18:02,707 --> 00:18:03,742
Good night, honey.
370
00:18:06,836 --> 00:18:08,122
-Hey, 'Hmm?
371
00:18:08,421 --> 00:18:10,332
- You okay?
- Mmm-hmm.
372
00:18:29,525 --> 00:18:30,640
I got that Green Light.
373
00:18:31,485 --> 00:18:32,725
Oh, I got your Green Light.
374
00:18:33,362 --> 00:18:34,022
[grunting]
375
00:18:34,238 --> 00:18:35,444

396
00:19:09,106 --> 00:19:11,814

I.“ You need it like money
That's that Green Light N'.
409
00:19:40,721 --> 00:19:41,721
Two-Bits.
410
00:19:43,099 --> 00:19:44,099
What's up, man?
411
00:19:44,183 --> 00:19:45,514
Man, you know what it is, baby.
412
00:19:46,519 --> 00:19:48,135
Hey, yo, this dude
right here is so fast.
413
00:19:48,396 --> 00:19:51,809
He can turn off the light and be in
bed before the whole room got dark.
414
00:19:53,192 --> 00:19:54,628
Yeah. But you was
pretty fast yourself.
415
00:19:54,652 --> 00:19:57,110
Yeah, but I wasn't
Olympic fast, man.
416
00:19:58,447 --> 00:20:00,939
Look, now we're finished
with the small talk,
417
00:20:02,451 --> 00:20:03,486
what you want, bro?
418
00:20:04,036 --> 00:20:04,650
Oh.
419
00:20:04,870 --> 00:20:08,738
Oh, come on, J, you too boujie
to be down here by accident.
420
00:20:09,208 --> 00:20:12,417
One of my students
overdosed on Green Light.
421
00:20:13,129 --> 00:20:14,415
Your name came up.
422
00:20:15,172 --> 00:20:16,858
No, hey, I'm just here
to give you a heads-up.
423
00:20:16,882 --> 00:20:19,340
The cops are coming your way.
424
00:20:19,635 --> 00:20:22,115
You might wanna get out of
this before it gets too hot for you.
425
00:20:22,263 --> 00:20:23,298
Get out and do what?
426
00:20:24,390 --> 00:20:26,006
I appreciate you looking out,
427
00:20:26,809 --> 00:20:28,078
but I got a family
to take care of.
428
00:20:28,102 --> 00:20:31,470
Yeah, but this Green
Light stuff is bad news, bruh.
429
00:20:33,399 --> 00:20:36,107
Now, look, you want
to tell me anything?
430
00:20:36,944 --> 00:20:37,979
Maybe I could help.
431
00:20:39,989 --> 00:20:42,777
I got nothing to tell.
It is what it is, bruh.
432
00:20:45,494 --> 00:20:46,680
It's good to see you, Two-Bits.
433
00:20:46,704 --> 00:20:49,822
Yeah. Hey, look, tell Lynn and
everybody else I said what's up.
434
00:20:50,541 --> 00:20:51,781
- Will do.
- All right.
435
00:20:58,090 --> 00:20:59,251
[speaking indistinctly]
436
00:21:07,683 --> 00:21:09,299
How'd your talk
with Two-Bits go?
437
00:21:09,518 --> 00:21:11,134
[sighs] Not good.
438
00:21:13,564 --> 00:21:17,728
This stuff is like crack and
PCP got together and had a baby.
439
00:21:18,194 --> 00:21:19,713
You should keep an eye
on that student of yours.
440
00:21:19,737 --> 00:21:21,757
The way this stuff attaches
to your neural receptors,
441
00:21:21,781 --> 00:21:24,068
you take it once,
and you're hooked.
442
00:21:24,283 --> 00:21:25,819
That's why the
first taste is free.
443
00:21:26,035 --> 00:21:28,151
Since Green Light hit,
there've been 36 overdoses,
444
00:21:28,370 --> 00:21:30,828
six of them fatal. You'd
think it'd be on the news.
445
00:21:31,040 --> 00:21:33,498
Yeah, black kids OD-ing
has never been newsworthy.
446
00:21:33,709 --> 00:21:35,575
I've hacked Freeland
PD's computers.
447
00:21:35,920 --> 00:21:38,064
They're trying to get a no-knock
warrant for your boy, Two-Bits.
448
00:21:38,088 --> 00:21:39,499
Yeah, that'll take too long.
449
00:21:40,049 --> 00:21:41,505
They move dope
houses twice a month.
450
00:21:41,717 --> 00:21:43,111
Ever since Black
Lightning's come back,
451
00:21:43,135 --> 00:21:45,215
The One Hundred have
gotten a lot more sophisticated.
452
00:21:45,262 --> 00:21:46,782
They're operating
like terrorist cells.
453
00:21:46,847 --> 00:21:48,838
Each group only knows
what it needs to know.
454
00:21:49,141 --> 00:21:51,141
Makes it harder to beat
your way up the food chain.
455
00:21:51,936 --> 00:21:54,519
Maybe Black Lightning
should pay Two-Bits a visit.
456
00:21:58,609 --> 00:21:59,609
[man] What the...
457
00:21:59,985 --> 00:22:01,771
[indistinct chatter]
458
00:22:07,243 --> 00:22:09,325
Hey. Hey. Go get
him, man. Go get him!
459
00:22:10,830 --> 00:22:11,830
[grunting]
460
00:22:20,965 --> 00:22:21,965
Wait, wait, wait, wait.
461
00:22:22,132 --> 00:22:23,839
Hey. The streets
are talking, man.
462
00:22:24,051 --> 00:22:25,195
I heard what you did to Block.
463
00:22:25,219 --> 00:22:26,219
What'd you hear?
464
00:22:26,595 --> 00:22:28,552
I heard you lit his ass up.
465
00:22:28,764 --> 00:22:31,597
Good, that should
save us some time.
466
00:22:32,017 --> 00:22:33,348
Tell me about Green Light.
467
00:22:33,602 --> 00:22:36,094
I know your MO After I tell
you what you wanna know,
468
00:22:36,522 --> 00:22:38,322
you just gonna knock
me out and call the cops,
469
00:22:38,566 --> 00:22:39,977
and that'll be my third strike.
470
00:22:40,401 --> 00:22:41,687
I get 30 years, man.
471
00:22:41,902 --> 00:22:44,382
Really should've thought about
that before you started dealing.
472
00:22:44,822 --> 00:22:45,982
You think I deserve 30 years?
473
00:22:46,115 --> 00:22:47,196
You deserve something.
474
00:22:47,408 --> 00:22:49,570
Okay. But 30 years? I
mean, come on, man.
475
00:22:49,952 --> 00:22:52,660
They throwing brothers in
jail forever, like it ain't nothing.
476
00:22:54,206 --> 00:22:55,206
All right.
477
00:22:55,791 --> 00:22:58,954
I won't call the cops if you
tell me what I need to know,
478
00:22:59,169 --> 00:23:01,911
and you stop selling drugs.
479
00:23:03,299 --> 00:23:05,381
Now, I hear you dealing again,
480
00:23:06,594 --> 00:23:07,834
I'mma come find you.
481
00:23:08,053 --> 00:23:09,669
Okay. Deal.
482
00:23:10,598 --> 00:23:12,180
So I leave the money
at the drop spot.
483
00:23:12,391 --> 00:23:13,911
I go pick up the
product at a warehouse
484
00:23:14,101 --> 00:23:15,466
on 389 Hart Avenue.
485
00:23:16,145 --> 00:23:17,761
Re-up is every Thursday at noon.
486
00:23:18,022 --> 00:23:20,764
Hey, hey, real, real quick.
Before you knock me out,
487
00:23:20,983 --> 00:23:22,314
uh, you think I can get a pic?
488
00:23:24,153 --> 00:23:25,609
And can you make
sure you light up.
489
00:23:26,155 --> 00:23:27,566
What? No.
490
00:23:32,494 --> 00:23:33,529
[sighs]
491
00:23:37,583 --> 00:23:40,383
[commentator on TV] And it's a clean
exchange. Anderson, lane 4, has...
492
00:23:40,502 --> 00:23:43,870
So, Joan Lincoln
wants to interview me.
493
00:23:44,590 --> 00:23:46,797
Wait. Joan Lincoln
from TV, Joan Lincoln?
494
00:23:47,051 --> 00:23:48,166
- Yeah.
- What?
495
00:23:48,385 --> 00:23:50,752
I mean, she says people
wanna see how I'm doing.
496
00:23:51,639 --> 00:23:53,630
Okay, so you're,
like, official now?
497
00:23:55,059 --> 00:23:56,619
- Yeah, I've been official.
- [chuckles]
498
00:23:56,769 --> 00:23:57,975
You just didn't notice it.
499
00:23:58,187 --> 00:23:59,973
Okay, so what you gonna do?
500
00:24:01,774 --> 00:24:03,731
I don't want people
to see me like this.
501
00:24:04,026 --> 00:24:06,267
I don't know. I mean,
what do you think?
502
00:24:07,696 --> 00:24:11,155
Um, I think you've
been through a lot.
503
00:24:14,620 --> 00:24:18,409
[clears throat] So, I
quit the track team.
504
00:24:20,125 --> 00:24:21,490
- What? For real?
- Mmm-hmm.
505
00:24:24,046 --> 00:24:25,046
Huh.
506
00:24:26,048 --> 00:24:27,789
[commentator speaking
indistinctly on TV]
507
00:24:32,471 --> 00:24:33,471
You know what?
508
00:24:34,640 --> 00:24:35,640
I'mma do it.
509
00:24:36,850 --> 00:24:40,718
Yeah. People should see that it takes
more than a bullet to keep me down.
510
00:24:44,400 --> 00:24:45,800
Hey, we gonna do
it together, right?
511
00:24:45,859 --> 00:24:47,475
You're my ride or die, right?
512
00:24:48,570 --> 00:24:51,358
Yeah. Yeah, ride or die.
513
00:24:54,284 --> 00:24:56,525
[commentator speaking
indistinctly on TV]
514
00:25:01,375 --> 00:25:03,255
We're recommending
that the board have final say
515
00:25:03,293 --> 00:25:04,783
on students who break the rules.
516
00:25:05,421 --> 00:25:07,708
We're also
recommending that Mr...
517
00:25:10,467 --> 00:25:13,380
Bernard Lewis. His
name is Bernard Lewis.
518
00:25:14,388 --> 00:25:15,388
Thank you.
519
00:25:15,681 --> 00:25:17,481
We're recommending
that Mr. Lewis be expelled.
520
00:25:17,641 --> 00:25:20,850
The board is not in a position to
know all the facts about our students.
521
00:25:21,061 --> 00:25:22,643
Well, that's why,
in this paradigm,
522
00:25:23,022 --> 00:25:26,231
we're proposing that your job
would be to give us those facts,
523
00:25:26,734 --> 00:25:28,941
so that we can then
make an impartial decision.
524
00:25:29,153 --> 00:25:32,191
I'm getting a feeling that
this is already a done deal.
525
00:25:32,740 --> 00:25:35,698
We all want the same
thing. Principal Pierce.
526
00:25:36,452 --> 00:25:39,820
[clears throat] Yes. Of
course. Thank you for your time.
527
00:25:49,131 --> 00:25:51,668
They wanna take control
of the disciplinary process,
528
00:25:51,884 --> 00:25:53,716
and have me expel Bernard?
529
00:25:54,428 --> 00:25:55,428
Can't save 'em all.
530
00:25:55,971 --> 00:25:57,177
How do you choose?
531
00:25:57,806 --> 00:25:59,513
You choose by partnering
with the students.
532
00:25:59,975 --> 00:26:02,135
I mean, you do everything
you can to help them succeed,
533
00:26:02,269 --> 00:26:04,931
but the students still
have to do their part.
534
00:26:05,189 --> 00:26:08,932
If they don't, then those
students choose for you.
535
00:26:09,860 --> 00:26:12,255
If my teachers had taken that
approach, I never would've made it.
536
00:26:12,279 --> 00:26:13,599
You can always
reject their offer.
537
00:26:13,781 --> 00:26:17,445
Yeah. If I do that, when my
contract's up, they'll fire me,
538
00:26:17,659 --> 00:26:19,137
and bring in someone
with no connection
539
00:26:19,161 --> 00:26:21,198
with the community
to run the school.
540
00:26:21,580 --> 00:26:23,787
Mmm-hmm. I mean,
it's... It's a hard choice.
541
00:26:26,126 --> 00:26:28,914
Just want you to know
that I appreciate you.
542
00:26:29,630 --> 00:26:33,715
And if you need my help
with anything, I'm here.
543
00:26:34,968 --> 00:26:36,959
[cellphone ringing]
544
00:26:38,555 --> 00:26:40,091
Hi, this is Fowdy.
545
00:26:41,892 --> 00:26:43,724
[sighs]
546
00:26:45,854 --> 00:26:49,097
[hip-hop music playing]
547
00:27:18,929 --> 00:27:22,888
[vocalizing]
548
00:27:23,600 --> 00:27:25,841
[squeaking]
549
00:27:38,448 --> 00:27:41,190
[squeaking continues]
550
00:27:42,911 --> 00:27:45,494
Oh, that is nasty.
551
00:27:45,706 --> 00:27:47,162
Took you long
enough to get here.
552
00:27:48,709 --> 00:27:50,069
[Tori] You know
I hate it out here.
553
00:27:50,294 --> 00:27:54,413
If it was anyone else but
you, I would've stayed in Miami.
554
00:27:54,631 --> 00:27:56,247
Tori, I missed you.
555
00:27:57,176 --> 00:27:58,632
I missed you too, big brother.
556
00:27:59,595 --> 00:28:01,051
- So...
- Hmm.
557
00:28:01,263 --> 00:28:03,004
How we goin' to
kill Black Lightning?
558
00:28:12,900 --> 00:28:16,018
Oh! Oh, damn, Gambi!
559
00:28:16,653 --> 00:28:17,939
You've been holding out on me.
560
00:28:19,406 --> 00:28:21,176
If I knew you were gonna
give me X-ray vision,
561
00:28:21,200 --> 00:28:23,040
I'd have come out of
retirement five years ago.
562
00:28:23,493 --> 00:28:24,904
It's more like electric vision.
563
00:28:25,287 --> 00:28:28,120
It allows you to see the electrical
signature of any powered object.
564
00:28:28,790 --> 00:28:29,790
So, what do you see?
565
00:28:32,836 --> 00:28:34,668
I see everything.
566
00:28:43,680 --> 00:28:46,034
- [Grace] You look really pretty tonight.
- [Anissa] Thank you.
567
00:28:46,058 --> 00:28:47,535
- [Grace] You're welcome.
- [Anissa chuckles]
568
00:28:47,559 --> 00:28:49,266
Have you ever wanted to share
569
00:28:49,478 --> 00:28:53,642
something important with
your parents but couldn't?
570
00:28:54,149 --> 00:28:55,149
Yep.
571
00:28:55,234 --> 00:28:57,100
You do know I'm bi, right?
572
00:28:57,361 --> 00:29:00,695
[both laughing]
573
00:29:00,906 --> 00:29:04,274
True. I just feel
like I'm past the age
574
00:29:04,493 --> 00:29:08,157
where I need my parents
to co-sign on everything I do.
575
00:29:09,373 --> 00:29:10,373
What's wrong with that?
576
00:29:10,415 --> 00:29:12,497
Ugh! It's just irritating.
577
00:29:12,709 --> 00:29:15,189
You're looking for large containers
where they store the drugs.
578
00:29:15,545 --> 00:29:17,690
The containers use power
to regulate their temperature,
579
00:29:17,714 --> 00:29:19,874
- so you should be able to spot them.
- Yeah, I got it.
580
00:29:19,967 --> 00:29:24,211
From the looks of things here, this Green
Light is bigger than The One Hundred.
581
00:29:25,305 --> 00:29:27,512
I mean, no street
gang is this organized.
582
00:29:28,642 --> 00:29:32,510
Professional drivers,
temperature controlled 18-wheelers
583
00:29:32,729 --> 00:29:36,267
and a warehouse that looks like
it's being guarded by Special Ops.
584
00:29:36,900 --> 00:29:38,390
I'm a grown-ass woman,
585
00:29:38,610 --> 00:29:41,568
who is capable of making my
own decisions without them.
586
00:29:42,155 --> 00:29:46,490
Okay. Well, my parents sucked,
587
00:29:46,785 --> 00:29:48,321
but there's not a
day that goes by
588
00:29:48,537 --> 00:29:51,029
that I don't wish that I could
still go to them for advice.
589
00:29:51,248 --> 00:29:54,786
Hey, you're the bartender from the
Ruby Red Lipstick Bar, aren't you?
590
00:29:55,794 --> 00:29:56,954
- You know I am.
- Who's this?
591
00:29:57,129 --> 00:29:59,791
This guy and his fellow idiots
have been harassing us for weeks.
592
00:30:00,007 --> 00:30:02,294
Someone should burn this
lesbian whorehouse to the ground.
593
00:30:02,509 --> 00:30:04,170
Yeah? Well, I'm
gonna call the cops.
594
00:30:04,553 --> 00:30:05,673
We have a restraining order.
595
00:30:05,762 --> 00:30:07,503
- Uh-uh.
- Whoa! What're you doing?
596
00:30:10,559 --> 00:30:11,559
- Grace!
- I got this.
597
00:30:14,855 --> 00:30:16,061
[inhales deeply]
598
00:30:31,038 --> 00:30:32,765
All right, I'm gonna track
the truck. See what I can find.
599
00:30:32,789 --> 00:30:34,621
- [explosion in distance]
- What was that?
600
00:30:35,125 --> 00:30:37,287
I don't know. It was close by.
601
00:30:37,961 --> 00:30:40,202
- Sounded like an explosion.
- [explosion in distance]
602
00:30:40,505 --> 00:30:42,442
- I'm gonna check that out.
- You'll lose the truck.
603
00:30:42,466 --> 00:30:44,786
You lose that truck, we lose
our best chance of finding out
604
00:30:44,926 --> 00:30:46,446
where and to whom
this stuff is headed.
605
00:30:46,470 --> 00:30:49,032
Yeah, but the explosions could be
connected to what we're looking for.
606
00:30:49,056 --> 00:30:50,136
Plus, people could be hurt.
607
00:30:59,524 --> 00:31:01,324
Can you tap into the
cameras near my location?
608
00:31:02,069 --> 00:31:03,069
[beeping]
609
00:31:15,332 --> 00:31:16,332
[Static]
610
00:31:19,044 --> 00:31:20,044
You see anything?
611
00:31:20,629 --> 00:31:21,960
Uh, I got nothing.
612
00:31:22,506 --> 00:31:25,248
The cameras in your vicinity
didn't capture whatever happened.
613
00:31:25,467 --> 00:31:26,923
Whoever did this is long gone.
614
00:31:27,427 --> 00:31:28,507
You should call it a night.
615
00:31:28,678 --> 00:31:30,758
I'm going back to the
warehouse. See what I can find.
616
00:31:31,223 --> 00:31:32,223
Be safe.
617
00:31:32,724 --> 00:31:33,724
Always.
618
00:32:41,084 --> 00:32:43,826
[both sigh]
619
00:32:44,045 --> 00:32:47,163
Grace, if I could make
people who did bad things
620
00:32:48,091 --> 00:32:49,422
pay for what they did,
621
00:32:52,762 --> 00:32:54,753
that'd be a good thing, right?
622
00:33:03,231 --> 00:33:04,231
Right?
623
00:33:07,277 --> 00:33:08,277
Yeah.
624
00:33:14,034 --> 00:33:15,034
[camera clicking]
625
00:33:28,048 --> 00:33:30,790
[reporter on TV] Local high
school track star, Khalil Payne,
626
00:33:31,009 --> 00:33:33,421
is currently convalescing
at Saint Lewis Hospital
627
00:33:33,803 --> 00:33:36,670
after a gunshot left
him unable to walk.
628
00:33:36,973 --> 00:33:39,089
Khalil was shot at
a peaceful protest
629
00:33:39,309 --> 00:33:41,141
that turned violent
two weeks ago.
630
00:33:41,728 --> 00:33:44,470
Khalil was a two-time
state champion sprinter
631
00:33:44,689 --> 00:33:45,689
from Garfield.
632
00:33:47,108 --> 00:33:49,566
I'd take Black
Lightning out myself,
633
00:33:50,070 --> 00:33:52,311
but since I technically still
have warrants in Freeland,
634
00:33:53,114 --> 00:33:54,400
I can't be out and about.
635
00:33:54,616 --> 00:33:58,655
If you could win the hearts
of the residents in Freeland,
636
00:33:59,496 --> 00:34:03,990
if they saw Black Lightning as
a bad guy instead of as a hero,
637
00:34:04,584 --> 00:34:06,495
they'd probably
take him out for you.
638
00:34:07,837 --> 00:34:09,874
The people in
Freeland love that boy,
639
00:34:11,007 --> 00:34:13,965
and he has every reason
to hate Black Lightning.
640
00:34:14,302 --> 00:34:17,044
He doesn't know
it yet, but he does.
641
00:34:18,014 --> 00:34:23,350
Maybe you can help him realize just
how much he hates Black Lightning.
642
00:34:35,615 --> 00:34:37,947
Hey! What you
doing here so early?
643
00:34:38,827 --> 00:34:41,319
Um, your mom asked
my dad to come by,
644
00:34:41,538 --> 00:34:44,075
so I just kinda tagged along.
645
00:34:44,666 --> 00:34:46,106
Yo, where'd all this
stuff come from?
646
00:34:46,209 --> 00:34:47,415
Anonymous donor.
647
00:34:48,086 --> 00:34:50,077
Yeah, whoever it is,
they're hooking it up.
648
00:34:50,630 --> 00:34:52,316
They're even taking
care of my medical bills,
649
00:34:52,340 --> 00:34:54,377
and helping my
morn out with rent.
650
00:35:06,730 --> 00:35:07,970
Principal Pierce.
651
00:35:11,776 --> 00:35:12,776
Hey, Khalil.
652
00:35:14,779 --> 00:35:15,985
What, what's going on?
653
00:35:18,742 --> 00:35:19,742
Mama, what's wrong?
654
00:35:24,414 --> 00:35:26,405
Khalil, they're
telling us that, uh...
655
00:35:29,252 --> 00:35:32,461
your spinal cord is
now completely severed.
656
00:35:34,799 --> 00:35:37,416
Well, what're you saying? You
saying I'm not gonna walk again?
657
00:35:42,974 --> 00:35:44,254
[speaking softly]
I'm sorry, son.
658
00:35:59,699 --> 00:36:00,699
[door opens]
659
00:36:06,247 --> 00:36:07,247
The board called.
660
00:36:08,041 --> 00:36:11,784
Bernard can stay if you give
up final say on severe infractions.
661
00:36:12,003 --> 00:36:14,003
I mean, you can advocate
on behalf of the students,
662
00:36:14,047 --> 00:36:16,004
but your opinion
counts as one vote,
663
00:36:16,299 --> 00:36:17,960
along with each board member.
664
00:36:19,636 --> 00:36:20,636
I don't like it.
665
00:36:21,346 --> 00:36:24,429
You can either save Bernard,
or you can retain final say,
666
00:36:24,641 --> 00:36:26,848
but they're not gonna
let you have both. So...
667
00:36:35,360 --> 00:36:36,360
Tell them I'll do it.
668
00:36:37,237 --> 00:36:39,023
- Okay, I'll let them know.
- Thank you.
669
00:36:42,826 --> 00:36:43,826
[door closes]
670
00:36:51,876 --> 00:36:52,876
[cellphone ringing]
671
00:36:53,628 --> 00:36:55,585
- Hello?
- [Jefferson] Hey. Just checking in-.
672
00:36:55,797 --> 00:36:56,878
The girls okay?
673
00:36:57,424 --> 00:36:58,664
Yeah. Yeah, they're fine.
674
00:37:00,343 --> 00:37:03,085
This Khalil situation
is bothering me.
675
00:37:04,389 --> 00:37:05,971
He's never gonna walk again.
676
00:37:06,516 --> 00:37:08,396
Yeah, I know. I'm up to
speed. Jennifer told me.
677
00:37:08,560 --> 00:37:09,675
Hey, I don't know, Lynn.
678
00:37:09,894 --> 00:37:14,263
LaWanda, Khalil,
Reverend Holt, Bernard...
679
00:37:15,984 --> 00:37:19,272
I just used to be able to handle
the collateral damage a lot better.
680
00:37:19,529 --> 00:37:20,735
[sighs]
681
00:37:20,989 --> 00:37:22,341
Jefferson, I'm
really busy right now.
682
00:37:22,365 --> 00:37:23,525
Can we talk about this later?
683
00:37:26,828 --> 00:37:28,569
Yeah. Yeah, sure, um...
684
00:37:29,998 --> 00:37:31,113
I'll call you later.
685
00:37:38,715 --> 00:37:39,921
[cell phone vibrating]
686
00:37:48,558 --> 00:37:49,172
Hello.
687
00:37:49,392 --> 00:37:51,383
Principal Pierce, I'm
sorry to bother you,
688
00:37:51,603 --> 00:37:52,968
but I didn't know
who else to call.
689
00:37:53,313 --> 00:37:55,153
Bernard went to a dope
house looking for drugs.
690
00:37:55,273 --> 00:37:57,560
Wait, what? Okay, slow
down. What, what happened?
691
00:37:57,776 --> 00:38:00,859
After our meeting, Bernard wouldn't

692
00:38:01,070 --> 00:38:03,778
- What's the address?
- 367, 34th Street.
693
00:38:04,616 --> 00:38:07,028
I went there to get him, but
some of The Hundred came out.
694
00:38:07,243 --> 00:38:09,450
They pistol-whipped me.
The cops didn't do nothing.
695
00:38:09,662 --> 00:38:10,823
Okay, I'll make some calls.
696
00:38:13,625 --> 00:38:15,241

722

I don't understand how
he got hooked so quick.
723
00:39:27,782 --> 00:39:29,489
This new drug is bad like that.
724
00:39:29,951 --> 00:39:33,239
But Bernard is in the best
treatment facility in Freeland,
725
00:39:33,705 --> 00:39:37,243
and when he's straight, we'll get
him back on track and into college.
726
00:39:37,584 --> 00:39:40,997
I've put everything I had
into giving him a better life.
727
00:39:41,504 --> 00:39:42,504
I...
728
00:39:51,389 --> 00:39:53,069
I appreciate everything
you've done for us.
729
00:39:53,224 --> 00:39:54,635
Oh, of course. Of course.
730
00:39:56,185 --> 00:39:56,890
Thank you.
731
00:39:57,103 --> 00:39:59,219
Hmm. Stay in touch.
732
00:40:06,112 --> 00:40:07,112
[sighs]

00:40:08,615 --> 00:40:09,855
[cell phone chimes]
734
00:40:17,957 --> 00:40:23,293
[Lynn] Hi, Jefferson, it's me.
I'm sorry about earlier today.
735
00:40:23,588 --> 00:40:29,300
All I can say is, this Black Lightning
stuff has my emotions all over the place.
736
00:40:30,053 --> 00:40:32,590
If I'm being honest,
I'm angry with you.
737
00:40:33,014 --> 00:40:34,800
But that doesn't
mean, I don't love you.
738
00:40:35,934 --> 00:40:37,299
How'd you like the gifts?
739
00:40:38,937 --> 00:40:41,679
[Pants]
740
00:40:42,106 --> 00:40:44,473
You mind keeping the
lights off? They hurt my eyes.
741
00:40:45,944 --> 00:40:47,730
My name is Tobias Whale.
742
00:40:49,781 --> 00:40:50,941
What're you doing in my room?
743
00:40:50,990 --> 00:40:52,697
I wanted to see
how you were doing.
744
00:40:54,619 --> 00:40:56,201
Why'd you give
me all those gifts?
745
00:40:56,454 --> 00:40:58,115
I understand what
you're going through.
746
00:40:59,040 --> 00:41:01,407
Black Lightning
messed my life up, too.
747
00:41:02,710 --> 00:41:05,873
I wanted you to have some nice
things to keep your mind off your troubles.
748
00:41:06,714 --> 00:41:09,251
I know it's hard to see
now, but in time, you will.
749
00:41:09,968 --> 00:41:13,302
Black Lightning's the reason
you're lying here paralyzed.
750
00:41:14,430 --> 00:41:15,866
There was many times
when I was younger
751
00:41:15,890 --> 00:41:18,097
I needed help, but
no one showed up.
752
00:41:19,310 --> 00:41:21,551
I don't wanna have to see
you go through the same thing.
753
00:41:23,189 --> 00:41:24,189
Why?
754
00:41:25,692 --> 00:41:28,810
Well, I've followed your
athletic career a long time,
755
00:41:29,028 --> 00:41:30,564
and it hurt me to see you hurt.
756
00:41:31,698 --> 00:41:33,314
But what I've
learned about pain is,
757
00:41:33,533 --> 00:41:35,240
pain makes you stronger.
758
00:41:35,785 --> 00:41:37,401
Pain makes you tougher.
759
00:41:38,162 --> 00:41:41,575
And eventually, you get to a
point where you don't even feel it.
760
00:41:42,959 --> 00:41:46,873
If you'd like, I can show
you how to kill your pain.
