1
00:00:01,293 --> 00:00:02,770
[Jefferson] Previously
on Black Lightning...
2
00:00:02,794 --> 00:00:04,284
Thirty years ago,
I came to Freeland
3
00:00:04,505 --> 00:00:07,543
as an agent for a government
organization called the ASA.
4
00:00:07,758 --> 00:00:10,420
I helped them find young
people with abilities.
5
00:00:10,636 --> 00:00:13,503
But when I realized that the
ASA's vaccine was killing children,
6
00:00:13,764 --> 00:00:15,550
I leaked the information
to your father,
7
00:00:15,766 --> 00:00:17,848
and his investigation
got him killed.
8
00:00:18,060 --> 00:00:19,596
And they're doing it again.
9
00:00:20,187 --> 00:00:22,123
[Two-Bits] I saw one of your
students get snatched last night.
10
00:00:22,147 --> 00:00:23,763
Two men wearing black
11
00:00:23,982 --> 00:00:25,848
jumped out of this van
and they grabbed her.
12
00:00:26,193 --> 00:00:27,354
What's up?
13
00:00:29,488 --> 00:00:32,856
The head of the ASA for
this area, is looking for you.
14
00:00:33,075 --> 00:00:35,035
If you use your powers,
or you go out in the suit,
15
00:00:35,160 --> 00:00:37,572
he will find you,
and they will kill you.
16
00:00:37,788 --> 00:00:41,577
The guys we're going after,
they are beyond the law.
17
00:00:41,792 --> 00:00:46,161
When we take down their
lab, it's like declaring war.
18
00:00:46,380 --> 00:00:49,019
[Proctor] Jefferson
Pierce is Black Lightning.
19
00:00:49,031 --> 00:00:49,418
What?
20
00:00:49,633 --> 00:00:51,965
[Proctor] He's been hiding
in plain sight all this time.
21
00:00:52,177 --> 00:00:53,667
Right under your nose.
22
00:00:53,887 --> 00:00:55,719
Do you think you
can take him down?
23
00:00:56,598 --> 00:00:58,054
Yes.
24
00:01:10,779 --> 00:01:12,941
Are they all stable
after the move?
25
00:01:13,156 --> 00:01:15,648
One of the older ones
is showing abnormalities.
26
00:01:16,451 --> 00:01:18,943
Internal temperature fluctuations
are affecting vital signs.
27
00:01:19,162 --> 00:01:20,778
How are you going to fix it?
28
00:01:20,998 --> 00:01:23,706
I think it's a result of
moving on back-to-back days.
29
00:01:23,917 --> 00:01:25,954
But now that we're
powered up in this location,
30
00:01:26,169 --> 00:01:29,252
a consistent pod temperature should
return the subject to a stable reading.
31
00:01:53,113 --> 00:01:55,024
- Which way?
- [Gambi] Go left.
32
00:02:03,415 --> 00:02:06,703
[Kara] I want the pods
monitored 24 hours a day.
33
00:02:07,919 --> 00:02:09,535
I'm already under my quota.
34
00:02:09,755 --> 00:02:12,497
Lose one more, and I'll
need to acquire more subjects.
35
00:02:12,966 --> 00:02:13,966
Yes, ma'am.
36
00:02:21,391 --> 00:02:22,744
[Black Lightning] I
can't see through it.
37
00:02:22,768 --> 00:02:25,351
Or maybe there's still a
problem with the electric vision.
38
00:02:25,562 --> 00:02:26,623
[Gambi] The door's shielded.
39
00:02:26,647 --> 00:02:29,355
But I know what I saw on the
feed from that nuke tracker satellite.
40
00:02:29,566 --> 00:02:32,274
An abnormal energy field
definitely moved in there yesterday.
41
00:02:32,486 --> 00:02:33,772
Dad, I got this.
42
00:02:45,415 --> 00:02:46,780
Kids aren't here.
43
00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:49,617
Whoa! This is a whole
lot of those pulse things.
44
00:02:49,836 --> 00:02:51,247
Launchers.
45
00:02:51,463 --> 00:02:53,500
That's a lot of weapons
that can take you out.
46
00:02:53,715 --> 00:02:55,797
It must be what caused
the abnormal energy hit.
47
00:02:56,009 --> 00:02:58,967
Jeff, if they're stockpiling
anti-Black Lightning weapons...
48
00:02:59,179 --> 00:03:02,217
Doesn't matter.
Where's the next spot?
49
00:03:02,432 --> 00:03:04,719
- I don't have one.
- Why? Use the satellite.
50
00:03:04,935 --> 00:03:06,642
The ASA knows
about the satellite, too.
51
00:03:06,853 --> 00:03:07,893
They must have found a way
52
00:03:07,979 --> 00:03:10,562
to cloak the pods'
energy in transit.
53
00:03:10,774 --> 00:03:12,890
I have an idea, but it'll
take me a day to set it up.
54
00:03:13,360 --> 00:03:14,771
Come on back.
55
00:03:16,905 --> 00:03:17,986
Not yet.
56
00:03:24,162 --> 00:03:26,244
A': Last night I saw a
superhero he was black N'.
57
00:03:26,456 --> 00:03:27,975
I.“ He said, "This
is for the street.“ N'."
58
00:03:27,999 --> 00:03:29,581
N' Black Lightning's back N'
59
00:03:30,419 --> 00:03:31,625
[cell phone vibrating]
60
00:03:33,839 --> 00:03:35,375
Yes, I'm just leaving.
61
00:03:36,466 --> 00:03:38,298
Most of them are stable.
62
00:03:38,510 --> 00:03:40,797
We're in danger of
losing one of them.
63
00:03:41,012 --> 00:03:42,377
- [alarm beeps]
- [car unlocks]
64
00:03:45,684 --> 00:03:47,766
An armory was blown up?
65
00:03:47,978 --> 00:03:50,515
No, I hadn't heard about that.
66
00:03:50,856 --> 00:03:53,097
They're clearly
looking for the pods.
67
00:03:54,109 --> 00:03:57,318
I understand the
orders, but, sir,
68
00:03:57,529 --> 00:03:59,111
I've known Jefferson
Pierce for years,
69
00:03:59,322 --> 00:04:02,360
there is absolutely no
way he's Black Lightning...
70
00:04:07,205 --> 00:04:08,445
I understand.
71
00:04:10,375 --> 00:04:13,117
Yes, sir. I'll take care of it.
72
00:04:21,219 --> 00:04:23,179
I'm sorry that didn't
pan out. I really thought...
73
00:04:23,346 --> 00:04:24,586
Yeah, I know.
74
00:04:26,266 --> 00:04:29,475
Look, even if they cloak the
pods' energy, I can still find it.
75
00:04:29,686 --> 00:04:32,053
I'll ping everything in
the city with a radio signal,
76
00:04:32,314 --> 00:04:33,896
and the energy
signature from the pods
77
00:04:34,149 --> 00:04:36,686
will light up when the
radio pulse hits them.
78
00:04:37,402 --> 00:04:38,767
Let me know if
you find something.
79
00:04:38,987 --> 00:04:40,227
I'm gonna get out of this suit.
80
00:04:47,579 --> 00:04:48,660
[sighs]
81
00:04:48,872 --> 00:04:50,152
God, look at you,
you look awful.
82
00:04:50,791 --> 00:04:51,791
[chuckles]
83
00:04:52,125 --> 00:04:53,240
Thanks for the compliment.
84
00:04:53,460 --> 00:04:55,326
No. That's a
subperiosteal hematoma.
85
00:04:55,712 --> 00:04:57,899
It's good to know that you're
paying attention in med school.
86
00:04:57,923 --> 00:04:59,755
No, this is serious.
Did you get it looked at?
87
00:04:59,966 --> 00:05:01,798
I've had enough
subperiosteal hematomas
88
00:05:02,010 --> 00:05:03,810
to know when I actually
need to get some help.
89
00:05:06,306 --> 00:05:07,762
What happened?
90
00:05:09,518 --> 00:05:10,849
The truth, please.
91
00:05:12,270 --> 00:05:13,476
Ask your dad.
92
00:05:16,191 --> 00:05:18,603
- I will.
- The ASA will be looking for us.
93
00:05:20,195 --> 00:05:21,651
All of us.
94
00:05:21,863 --> 00:05:25,026
Those weapons he blew up
are only good for one thing,
95
00:05:25,242 --> 00:05:26,698
killing Black Lightning.
96
00:05:26,910 --> 00:05:28,867
Make sure he makes
good choices, okay?
97
00:05:29,079 --> 00:05:30,615
How exactly am I
supposed to do that?
98
00:05:30,831 --> 00:05:31,992
Trust your instincts.
99
00:05:32,207 --> 00:05:33,868
Come on. Make it
plain, Uncle Gambi.
100
00:05:34,084 --> 00:05:38,043
Anissa, look at your father
and your father's father.
101
00:05:38,255 --> 00:05:40,041
Protecting people
is in your blood.
102
00:05:40,257 --> 00:05:43,545
There are certain things
no one can train you for.
103
00:05:43,760 --> 00:05:46,092
Everything you need
is already inside you.
104
00:05:48,306 --> 00:05:49,717
[sighs]
105
00:05:49,933 --> 00:05:50,933
Thanks.
106
00:06:08,660 --> 00:06:13,154
It seems a little suspicious.
Are you sure it's not a setup?
107
00:06:13,373 --> 00:06:16,991
[woman] If this was a
setup, you'd already be dead.
108
00:06:17,210 --> 00:06:18,210
Who the hell are you?
109
00:06:18,420 --> 00:06:21,060
You'll find everything you need
in the garbage can in front of you.
110
00:06:22,257 --> 00:06:24,168
You're right, Glennon.
It stinks. Come on.
111
00:06:26,636 --> 00:06:31,051
Deputy Chief Cayman, I
said in the garbage can.
112
00:06:32,100 --> 00:06:33,100
Do it.
113
00:06:37,022 --> 00:06:38,262
[Glennon] Oh.
114
00:06:42,193 --> 00:06:46,562
This needs to be legitimate,
and fast. Tomorrow, if possible?
115
00:06:48,199 --> 00:06:52,033
Okay, speedy warrants?
Got it. Who's the target?
116
00:06:54,748 --> 00:06:55,909
Jefferson Pierce.
117
00:07:03,632 --> 00:07:06,249
So, Dad, what happened
to Uncle Gambi?
118
00:07:09,137 --> 00:07:10,137
[clears throat]
119
00:07:10,180 --> 00:07:13,718
He was tortured by his friends
at the ASA in order to get to me.
120
00:07:13,934 --> 00:07:17,097
Well, clearly, that didn't work
because you wouldn't be here.
121
00:07:18,229 --> 00:07:19,811
That is true.
122
00:07:20,023 --> 00:07:21,388
So you can trust him.
123
00:07:23,485 --> 00:07:24,485
Maybe.
124
00:07:25,654 --> 00:07:27,395
No. I'm not sure.
125
00:07:27,614 --> 00:07:28,729
Man, they did a good job.
126
00:07:28,949 --> 00:07:30,405
Yeah. It's what they do.
127
00:07:30,617 --> 00:07:32,970
I don't know. It's just weird
right now, being around you two.
128
00:07:32,994 --> 00:07:36,157
No, it is. It's like you're
working together, but not really.
129
00:07:36,373 --> 00:07:38,034
Yeah, I know. It's
weird for me, too.
130
00:07:38,917 --> 00:07:40,157
Mmm.
131
00:07:40,418 --> 00:07:43,956
So, he says the ASA is
gonna be looking to kill us.
132
00:07:45,173 --> 00:07:47,210
- They are.
- So then...
133
00:07:47,884 --> 00:07:50,546
I don't know, shouldn't
we all just get along?
134
00:07:52,514 --> 00:07:54,221
"Can we all just get along?"
135
00:07:54,724 --> 00:07:55,464
What?
136
00:07:55,684 --> 00:07:58,847
No. Rodney King asked,
"Can we all get along?"
137
00:07:59,062 --> 00:08:02,930
See, it's an existential
question rather than a directive.
138
00:08:03,149 --> 00:08:04,890
Okay. So can we?
139
00:08:08,029 --> 00:08:09,029
I don't know.
140
00:08:29,676 --> 00:08:31,792
[siren blaring]
141
00:08:34,556 --> 00:08:35,556
[beeps]
142
00:08:54,451 --> 00:08:55,737
Damn it!
143
00:09:01,916 --> 00:09:03,144
- Good morning.
- [girl] Good morning.
144
00:09:03,168 --> 00:09:04,228
- Good morning.
- Mr. Pierce.
145
00:09:04,252 --> 00:09:05,458
Hey, Lexton.
146
00:09:05,670 --> 00:09:08,412
Congratulations on the
debate victory. All right.
147
00:09:09,215 --> 00:09:10,671
You know what?
Tomorrow, I'm driving.
148
00:09:10,884 --> 00:09:12,795
Girl, that driver's
license is brand-new.
149
00:09:13,011 --> 00:09:15,072
And you are too hard on my
nerves for first thing in the morning.
150
00:09:15,096 --> 00:09:16,096
Shut up. I can drive.
151
00:09:16,222 --> 00:09:17,491
- Girl... Okay, we'll see.
- I'd get us here quicker.
152
00:09:17,515 --> 00:09:18,875
- I know that much.
- You try then.
153
00:09:19,059 --> 00:09:20,661
All right, people, another
day to make magic.
154
00:09:20,685 --> 00:09:21,685
[laughs]
155
00:09:21,853 --> 00:09:23,935
Yes, it is. [Laughs]
156
00:09:24,147 --> 00:09:25,308
- Hey, Dad.
- Hey.
157
00:09:25,523 --> 00:09:26,523
Hey, Dad, what's up?
158
00:09:27,150 --> 00:09:28,857
- Keep an eye on your sister.
- Uh-huh.
159
00:09:29,069 --> 00:09:31,652
And make sure you touch
base with me between classes.
160
00:09:31,863 --> 00:09:33,729
All right. Got it.
Anything else?
161
00:09:34,449 --> 00:09:36,656
Remember, I love you.
162
00:09:36,868 --> 00:09:38,700
- I'll see you.
- All right.
163
00:09:39,120 --> 00:09:40,389
Come on, people,
let's not be late.
164
00:09:40,413 --> 00:09:41,515
[boy] What's up, Mr. Jefferson?
165
00:09:41,539 --> 00:09:43,029
How are you doing?
How are you doing?
166
00:09:43,249 --> 00:09:46,787
All these young smiling faces,
young minds to be molded.
167
00:09:47,545 --> 00:09:48,545
Come on in.
168
00:09:48,630 --> 00:09:50,746
Well, I'd like to give a
shout-out to the MTA
169
00:09:50,965 --> 00:09:52,501
for getting me
here on time today.
170
00:09:52,717 --> 00:09:55,300
-[all chuckle] -Wait, wait.
No. No, no, no, that's fair.
171
00:09:55,512 --> 00:09:57,253
There are a lot of
hardworking men and women
172
00:09:57,472 --> 00:10:01,761
who keep a very overworked
system running as best they can.
173
00:10:01,976 --> 00:10:03,287
- Yeah.
- [siren wailing in distance]
174
00:10:03,311 --> 00:10:04,472
I've got a shout-out.
175
00:10:04,687 --> 00:10:08,055
To Mr. Winston, who let me
retake the Spanish mid-term.
176
00:10:09,109 --> 00:10:11,942
Bless up. Or bendiga.
177
00:10:12,153 --> 00:10:13,484
[sirens wailing]
178
00:10:14,280 --> 00:10:15,941
Tavon, you still with us?
179
00:10:16,157 --> 00:10:18,364
- Five-O.
- What?
180
00:10:35,635 --> 00:10:38,377
[Glennon] Blue Volvo wagon.
Double-time, guys. Come on.
181
00:10:40,515 --> 00:10:42,756
Damn, Mr. P. That's your car.
182
00:10:43,518 --> 00:10:44,849
Tavon, language.
183
00:10:45,061 --> 00:10:48,520
I mean, dang, Mr. P.
That's still your car.
184
00:10:48,731 --> 00:10:51,063
Homework out, everyone. Let's...
185
00:10:54,112 --> 00:10:57,230
Let's focus, and
exchange homework.
186
00:10:58,491 --> 00:10:59,902
Girl, isn't that your dad's car?
187
00:11:16,593 --> 00:11:18,550
Every crack, every crevice.
188
00:11:27,103 --> 00:11:28,103
[officer] Oh.
189
00:11:28,521 --> 00:11:30,182
Surprise, surprise.
190
00:11:34,152 --> 00:11:38,942
Deputy Chief Cayman, I would be
happy to follow you to the police station
191
00:11:39,157 --> 00:11:42,525
to straighten out whatever
misunderstanding there seems to be.
192
00:11:42,744 --> 00:11:44,075
We're almost done.
193
00:11:46,789 --> 00:11:49,156
Look, if you could tell me
what you're looking for...
194
00:11:49,959 --> 00:11:51,620
We found Green
Light in your car.
195
00:11:51,836 --> 00:11:54,248
Wait, what? No.
That's impossible.
196
00:11:54,589 --> 00:11:55,920
Oh!
197
00:11:57,884 --> 00:11:59,500
You got that Green Light, cuz?
198
00:11:59,719 --> 00:12:01,460
That is not mine.
199
00:12:01,679 --> 00:12:03,636
Mr. Pierce, you're under arrest.
200
00:12:03,848 --> 00:12:05,608
Turn around, put your
hands behind your back.
201
00:12:05,683 --> 00:12:07,344
What? This is ridiculous.
202
00:12:07,560 --> 00:12:10,427
- Are you resisting?
- You can't come in here and just...
203
00:12:18,029 --> 00:12:19,736
I am not resisting.
204
00:12:20,657 --> 00:12:22,193
I am complying-
205
00:12:27,664 --> 00:12:28,950
- [handcuffs locking]
- [grunts]
206
00:12:35,630 --> 00:12:36,630
Dad.
207
00:12:36,714 --> 00:12:38,921
No, honey, it's a
misunderstanding, honey.
208
00:12:39,133 --> 00:12:42,046
I just need to go with these
men and straighten it out.
209
00:12:42,262 --> 00:12:43,798
Everything will be fine.
210
00:12:46,099 --> 00:12:47,099
Jennifer...
211
00:12:48,184 --> 00:12:53,429
Jennifer, I need you to do
something very important for me.
212
00:12:54,941 --> 00:12:56,147
Jennifer.
213
00:12:57,735 --> 00:13:02,024
I need you to be
calm, really calm.
214
00:13:08,204 --> 00:13:10,195
Call your mother, tell
her what happened
215
00:13:10,415 --> 00:13:12,827
and be strong for your
mother. Can you do that for me?
216
00:13:17,964 --> 00:13:19,500
Let's go.
217
00:13:21,467 --> 00:13:23,458
Well, ya'I| not just
gonna take Mr. Pierce.
218
00:13:23,678 --> 00:13:25,518
Look, son, this ain't no
rap video. Step aside.
219
00:13:25,596 --> 00:13:27,132
Hey, look, my daddy
name is Lamont,
220
00:13:27,348 --> 00:13:29,214
and you damn sure
don't look like a Lamont.
221
00:13:29,434 --> 00:13:30,765
[Jefferson] Tavon.
222
00:13:31,519 --> 00:13:34,978
No one wants to see another
black man in cuffs today.
223
00:13:36,190 --> 00:13:38,335
Well, you wanna help? Keep doing
what you're supposed to be doing
224
00:13:38,359 --> 00:13:40,004
and make sure all the
other students do the same.
225
00:13:40,028 --> 00:13:41,359
Can I count on you?
226
00:13:43,323 --> 00:13:45,189
I didn't hear you, Tavon.
227
00:13:46,284 --> 00:13:48,366
Yes, sir. You can count on me.
228
00:14:02,717 --> 00:14:04,003
[Anissa] Whoa, whoa, whoa!
229
00:14:04,218 --> 00:14:05,279
- Stay back, miss.
- Who do you think you are?
230
00:14:05,303 --> 00:14:06,697
- You can't just take him...
- Stand back.
231
00:14:06,721 --> 00:14:08,052
- No. Anissa. Anissa...
- Dad...
232
00:14:08,264 --> 00:14:12,599
No! Get back in the school,
take care of everyone.
233
00:14:16,189 --> 00:14:17,350
Anissa.
234
00:14:19,859 --> 00:14:21,190
Don't touch me.
235
00:15:08,324 --> 00:15:09,485
[indistinct chatter]
236
00:15:14,539 --> 00:15:15,974
What the hell do you
think you're doing?
237
00:15:15,998 --> 00:15:18,160
My job. Yours, too, apparently.
238
00:15:18,376 --> 00:15:19,856
Get him processed
and put him in four.
239
00:15:23,923 --> 00:15:25,789
I wanna see the search warrant.
240
00:15:28,803 --> 00:15:29,803
[grunts]
241
00:15:49,365 --> 00:15:50,365
[scoffs]
242
00:15:53,703 --> 00:15:56,640
Jefferson Pierce is one of the most
distinguished members of this community.
243
00:15:56,664 --> 00:15:58,304
Was. Then we discovered
he's a drug dealer
244
00:15:58,499 --> 00:15:59,660
operating out of a school.
245
00:15:59,876 --> 00:16:02,157
I have to give him credit.
Smart way to corner the market.
246
00:16:02,211 --> 00:16:03,793
You don't believe
that your damn self.
247
00:16:04,005 --> 00:16:06,667
Tread lightly, Inspector. Don't
be blinded by personal feelings.
248
00:16:06,883 --> 00:16:08,214
My eyes are wide open.
249
00:16:08,426 --> 00:16:11,214
Good. I'd hate to see
anything happen to you.
250
00:16:15,558 --> 00:16:18,516
You gotta bring ass to get ass.
251
00:16:20,104 --> 00:16:21,720
Don't forget that.
252
00:16:38,289 --> 00:16:42,032
[Kara over PA] Thank you, students, for
returning to your lessons and activities.
253
00:16:42,251 --> 00:16:45,414
The school day will
continue as usual.
254
00:16:45,796 --> 00:16:48,914
I am actively seeking an
update on Principal Pierce
255
00:16:49,133 --> 00:16:54,094
and will keep staff and students
informed as soon as we learn more.
256
00:16:54,305 --> 00:16:55,636
Until then,
257
00:16:56,057 --> 00:16:58,924
please, let's get
through this day in a way
258
00:16:59,143 --> 00:17:02,477
that will make
Principal Pierce proud.
259
00:17:03,272 --> 00:17:07,311
Remember, you are the future.
260
00:18:22,184 --> 00:18:24,050
Yeah, okay. Okay!
261
00:18:26,480 --> 00:18:27,641
[grunts]
262
00:18:33,154 --> 00:18:36,738
[groans] I'm surrounded by
cops. Is this really necessary?
263
00:18:46,417 --> 00:18:47,452
[grunts]
264
00:18:50,504 --> 00:18:51,869
Open your mouth.
265
00:18:55,092 --> 00:18:56,092
Lift your tongue.
266
00:18:59,722 --> 00:19:01,338
Drop your clothes.
267
00:19:28,709 --> 00:19:30,074
Assume the position.
268
00:19:36,926 --> 00:19:38,542
Now cough twice.
269
00:20:01,075 --> 00:20:04,534
Local principal Jefferson Pierce
was arrested today at Garfield High.
270
00:20:04,995 --> 00:20:07,487
Sources confirmed large
amounts of controlled substances
271
00:20:07,707 --> 00:20:09,027
were confiscated
from his vehicle.
272
00:20:09,250 --> 00:20:10,832
I need to see Jefferson Pierce.
273
00:20:11,961 --> 00:20:12,961
And you are?
274
00:20:13,337 --> 00:20:14,668
His wife.
275
00:20:15,756 --> 00:20:16,756
ID.
276
00:20:20,928 --> 00:20:24,046
His ex-wife, actually.
277
00:20:24,265 --> 00:20:25,801
Then I can't help you, ma'am.
278
00:20:27,601 --> 00:20:30,138
Can I speak to Inspector
Henderson, please?
279
00:20:32,148 --> 00:20:33,308
[Inspector Henderson] Lynn...
280
00:20:41,699 --> 00:20:45,567
Bill, you know Jeff. You know
he would never ever do anything...
281
00:20:45,786 --> 00:20:47,026
Of course I know, Lynn.
282
00:20:47,246 --> 00:20:49,408
But now is not the time
and this is not the place.
283
00:20:49,623 --> 00:20:52,160
Well... he can't be
here right now. He can't.
284
00:20:52,376 --> 00:20:54,287
Something so bad could happen.
285
00:20:55,379 --> 00:20:57,711
- Where's...
- Lynn, look at me.
286
00:20:58,257 --> 00:20:59,793
Do you trust me?
287
00:21:00,426 --> 00:21:01,426
No.
288
00:21:03,679 --> 00:21:05,886
But I know Jefferson does.
289
00:21:06,432 --> 00:21:09,202
And I have to go set the record for
speed-interviewing defense lawyers,
290
00:21:09,226 --> 00:21:11,183
so I'll talk to you later.
291
00:21:35,628 --> 00:21:37,665
[indistinct chatter
from computer]
292
00:21:39,423 --> 00:21:41,289
So you know.
293
00:21:41,509 --> 00:21:43,570
We knew the ASA was coming
for us. I didn't expect this, though.
294
00:21:43,594 --> 00:21:45,071
Okay. I'm suiting
up and I'm going in.
295
00:21:45,095 --> 00:21:46,176
No, you're not.
296
00:21:46,388 --> 00:21:48,755
Yeah, I am. You can help
me or not, but I'm going.
297
00:21:48,974 --> 00:21:51,614
Anissa, if your father wanted
out this way, he could do it himself.
298
00:21:51,769 --> 00:21:53,413
If you don't maintain
your secret identity,
299
00:21:53,437 --> 00:21:54,643
it could endanger Jennifer.
300
00:21:54,855 --> 00:21:56,095
Your mother, too.
301
00:21:56,315 --> 00:21:58,306
How does it help the
ASA to put Dad in jail?
302
00:21:58,526 --> 00:22:01,985
The national security apparatus can
push buttons in local law enforcement.
303
00:22:02,196 --> 00:22:03,652
This is smoke.
304
00:22:03,864 --> 00:22:06,322
The fire comes when he gets
moved by an ASA collection team
305
00:22:06,534 --> 00:22:08,241
that's equipped to
neutralize his powers.
306
00:22:08,452 --> 00:22:11,292
They'll throw him in a black site
and confirm that he's Black Lightning.
307
00:22:11,956 --> 00:22:12,956
And then what?
308
00:22:13,999 --> 00:22:15,489
They'll kill him.
309
00:22:15,709 --> 00:22:18,326
Okay. We've got to
get him out of there.
310
00:22:18,546 --> 00:22:21,038
No, that will only
confirm their suspicions.
311
00:22:21,257 --> 00:22:23,669
What we have to do
is prove to the ASA
312
00:22:23,884 --> 00:22:26,467
that Jefferson Pierce
isn't Black Lightning.
313
00:22:28,013 --> 00:22:29,128
Okay-
314
00:22:29,974 --> 00:22:31,556
How do we do that?
315
00:22:40,943 --> 00:22:41,943
[grunts]
316
00:22:50,411 --> 00:22:52,152
Henderson. Finally.
317
00:22:52,371 --> 00:22:53,953
Afternoon, Mr. Pierce.
318
00:22:59,628 --> 00:23:03,337
[whispers] We're on tape.
There's eyes and ears everywhere.
319
00:23:03,966 --> 00:23:05,456
[in normal voice]
How's that? Better?
320
00:23:06,427 --> 00:23:07,427
Yeah.
321
00:23:11,140 --> 00:23:13,347
They took my clothes.
322
00:23:13,559 --> 00:23:17,223
They're being tested to see if they
contain any traces of Green Light.
323
00:23:17,438 --> 00:23:19,349
What? They're not
gonna find anything.
324
00:23:19,565 --> 00:23:20,565
[chuckles]
325
00:23:20,774 --> 00:23:22,856
You might be
surprised what they find.
326
00:23:23,569 --> 00:23:25,005
Now, we've known
each other a long time,
327
00:23:25,029 --> 00:23:26,360
so I'll shoot straight with you.
328
00:23:26,572 --> 00:23:27,733
Um... [scoffs]
329
00:23:27,948 --> 00:23:29,564
There's too much here to ignore.
330
00:23:29,783 --> 00:23:31,273
What's your
connection to this man?
331
00:23:31,827 --> 00:23:33,568
He called himself Lala.
332
00:23:34,163 --> 00:23:35,870
A murderer, drug dealer.
333
00:23:36,081 --> 00:23:38,539
He was a student when
I was a young teacher.
334
00:23:39,460 --> 00:23:40,700
Nothing beyond that?
335
00:23:42,713 --> 00:23:44,670
Despite my efforts, he
joined The One Hundred.
336
00:23:44,882 --> 00:23:47,089
He worked his way up the ranks.
337
00:23:47,509 --> 00:23:50,297
So, I took advantage
of my relationship
338
00:23:50,512 --> 00:23:53,049
and got him to make
Garfield High off-limits.
339
00:23:53,265 --> 00:23:55,347
So why did members
of The One Hundred
340
00:23:55,559 --> 00:23:57,596
enter Garfield and
kidnap your daughters?
341
00:23:57,811 --> 00:23:58,811
I don't know.
342
00:24:01,190 --> 00:24:02,430
Drug deal gone bad?
343
00:24:02,650 --> 00:24:03,650
[sighs]
344
00:24:06,028 --> 00:24:07,644
Henderson, I'm being set up.
345
00:24:10,491 --> 00:24:12,528
Why would someone set you up?
346
00:24:15,537 --> 00:24:16,537
I don't know.
347
00:24:18,290 --> 00:24:19,951
- Interview's over.
- No. It's not.
348
00:24:20,209 --> 00:24:22,450
I have a transfer order above
your pay grade and mine.
349
00:24:22,670 --> 00:24:23,910
- From who?
- Hell if I know.
350
00:24:24,129 --> 00:24:25,494
It's a national
security directive.
351
00:24:27,549 --> 00:24:29,039
But I wouldn't wanna be you.
352
00:24:39,812 --> 00:24:42,770
Our reporter in the field, John
Webb, has been on the street,
353
00:24:42,982 --> 00:24:45,269
talking to people about
the shocking arrest
354
00:24:45,484 --> 00:24:48,727
of nationally respected Garfield
High Principal Jefferson Pierce.
355
00:24:49,196 --> 00:24:51,107
Every time a brother
tries to help his people,
356
00:24:51,323 --> 00:24:53,134
they find a way to set
him up and take him down.
357
00:24:53,158 --> 00:24:54,319
It's a shame.
358
00:24:54,535 --> 00:24:58,574
I heard he walks around and makes
the students call him Black Jesus.
359
00:24:58,789 --> 00:25:00,996
Imagine that. Black Jesus.
360
00:25:01,208 --> 00:25:03,119
My niece went to Garfield.
361
00:25:03,335 --> 00:25:04,951
That girl never
would've graduated
362
00:25:05,170 --> 00:25:06,786
if it wasn't for
Principal Pierce.
363
00:25:07,047 --> 00:25:09,414
The police know damn well
Mr. Pierce ain't no drug dealer.
364
00:25:09,633 --> 00:25:12,170
Any man who would do
that could do anything.
365
00:25:12,386 --> 00:25:15,424
He kept her focused and
helped her get into college.
366
00:25:15,639 --> 00:25:18,301
She graduates from Johns
Hopkins next semester.
367
00:25:18,517 --> 00:25:19,536
[John Webb] There you have it.
368
00:25:19,560 --> 00:25:21,392
Shock, disbelief, and for some,
369
00:25:21,603 --> 00:25:24,015
disillusionment about
this turn of events.
370
00:25:24,231 --> 00:25:25,642
John Webb reporting.
371
00:25:27,109 --> 00:25:28,270
[cell phone vibrating]
372
00:25:32,197 --> 00:25:33,813
Dr. Lynn Stewart.
373
00:25:34,241 --> 00:25:36,522
[Inspector Henderson] The
Feds are transferring Jefferson.
374
00:25:36,618 --> 00:25:39,736
Some kind of national security
thing. There's nothing I can do.
375
00:25:41,206 --> 00:25:44,164
National security?
What are the allegations?
376
00:25:44,626 --> 00:25:46,583
I've told you everything I know.
377
00:25:48,714 --> 00:25:49,795
Thank you.
378
00:25:55,512 --> 00:25:56,297
[Gambi] Your mother called.
379
00:25:56,513 --> 00:25:58,629
The order came to move
Jefferson. We're out of time.
380
00:25:58,849 --> 00:26:00,260
Okay, we go with your plan.
381
00:26:00,476 --> 00:26:02,387
Anissa, I want to save
your dad as much as you,
382
00:26:02,603 --> 00:26:05,516
but you need to understand the
tech we're using is a prototype,
383
00:26:05,731 --> 00:26:08,769
put together in half a day with
parts I cannibalized from the sanctum.
384
00:26:09,443 --> 00:26:10,443
And?
385
00:26:11,361 --> 00:26:12,692
It's untested. It may not work.
386
00:26:12,905 --> 00:26:13,905
But it might.
387
00:26:14,114 --> 00:26:14,819
Look, I can't lose my dad.
388
00:26:15,032 --> 00:26:17,148
And at this point, we're
the only hope he's got.
389
00:26:17,868 --> 00:26:20,326
You have to do exactly
as I tell you. One misstep...
390
00:26:20,579 --> 00:26:22,820
Ain't gonna be no missteps.
391
00:26:23,040 --> 00:26:25,077
Just walk me
through it. I got this.
392
00:26:29,630 --> 00:26:32,418
I have one more lawyer to
interview, and I'll get back to you.
393
00:26:33,550 --> 00:26:35,382
Okay. Thank you.
394
00:26:38,180 --> 00:26:39,180
[Jennifer sighs]
395
00:26:39,306 --> 00:26:41,297
Why can't he just Black
Lightning his way out?
396
00:26:43,519 --> 00:26:45,519
You know, you're gonna
have to learn that you can't
397
00:26:45,729 --> 00:26:48,721
punch or superpower your
way out of every problem.
398
00:26:54,696 --> 00:26:57,688
I know you're scared.
It's okay to be scared.
399
00:26:58,951 --> 00:27:00,237
I'm not. [Scoffs]
400
00:27:02,079 --> 00:27:03,865
Dad told me to
be strong for you.
401
00:27:07,126 --> 00:27:09,993
It's okay to be strong and
scared at the same time.
402
00:27:11,046 --> 00:27:12,536
It's called having sense.
403
00:27:17,386 --> 00:27:19,502
Well, what if we
can't get him out?
404
00:27:20,472 --> 00:27:23,260
I mean, it does happen to
people all the time, right?
405
00:27:27,896 --> 00:27:28,896
[crying]
406
00:27:32,901 --> 00:27:34,687
What if Daddy never comes home?
407
00:27:37,322 --> 00:27:38,403
He will.
408
00:27:49,209 --> 00:27:50,370
[indistinct chatter]
409
00:27:57,926 --> 00:28:00,008
You two, let's go.
410
00:28:00,220 --> 00:28:01,881
No. Not you.
411
00:28:16,028 --> 00:28:19,146
Hey, man, I'm trying to help you,
but national security directives?
412
00:28:19,364 --> 00:28:21,651
And top secret transfer
orders? You a spy or something?
413
00:28:21,867 --> 00:28:23,153
What? No, I'm not.
414
00:28:23,368 --> 00:28:25,680
Look, Jeff, we're friends, we
don't tell each other everything.
415
00:28:25,704 --> 00:28:29,663
But if you know of any reason
this is going down, now is the time.
416
00:28:34,880 --> 00:28:36,541
I really don't know.
417
00:28:44,473 --> 00:28:46,680
Yeah, I'm still gonna help you.
418
00:28:46,892 --> 00:28:49,259
I was just hoping you would
make it a little easier for me.
419
00:29:14,336 --> 00:29:15,336
What do you want?
420
00:29:15,462 --> 00:29:16,873
Come on in. Have a seat.
421
00:29:22,719 --> 00:29:25,006
"Follow the money." Isn't
that what they always say?
422
00:29:25,222 --> 00:29:27,182
Henderson, I don't have
time for whatever this is.
423
00:29:27,266 --> 00:29:28,927
Oh, I think you do.
424
00:29:29,393 --> 00:29:30,883
I called in a
lifetime of favors,
425
00:29:31,103 --> 00:29:33,014
but from what I could tell,
426
00:29:33,522 --> 00:29:35,263
you hit the lottery.
427
00:29:37,359 --> 00:29:38,879
I don't know what
you're talking about.
428
00:29:40,028 --> 00:29:41,564
Your son has
himself a new house.
429
00:29:41,780 --> 00:29:44,363
Contractor says he paid in cash.
430
00:29:44,783 --> 00:29:48,196
I wonder what the IRS
would have to say about that?
431
00:29:48,412 --> 00:29:51,495
Now, look, I know there's a lot of
money to be made with the badge.
432
00:29:51,707 --> 00:29:53,744
I got you dead to rights.
433
00:29:55,627 --> 00:29:57,834
But the good news
is, I don't want you.
434
00:29:58,672 --> 00:30:00,162
I want Cayman.
435
00:30:02,134 --> 00:30:05,258
Now... how about you sit down?
436
00:30:19,192 --> 00:30:22,230
Monitoring three students
who've ingested Green Light.
437
00:30:22,446 --> 00:30:24,437
No enhanced abilities observed.
438
00:30:33,623 --> 00:30:34,988
Whoa!
439
00:30:36,501 --> 00:30:39,414
[Gambi] Don't let anything get
between you and the hologram,
440
00:30:39,629 --> 00:30:41,309
or people will realize
it's not really him.
441
00:30:41,506 --> 00:30:42,587
Okay. I got it.
442
00:30:42,799 --> 00:30:44,335
I'll turn it off for now.
443
00:30:44,760 --> 00:30:48,128
Get as much attention as
you can, and I'll turn it back on.
444
00:30:48,930 --> 00:30:49,930
All right.
445
00:31:00,484 --> 00:31:02,646
- Oh, my God. Look!
- [man] It's Thunder!
446
00:31:02,861 --> 00:31:03,896
[woman] Look at her!
447
00:31:04,112 --> 00:31:05,193
[man] 0h, my God.
448
00:31:10,535 --> 00:31:12,071
[indistinct shouting]
449
00:31:13,580 --> 00:31:14,580
[chimes]
450
00:31:19,294 --> 00:31:21,661
Our reporters are on
the ground in Zone Four,
451
00:31:21,880 --> 00:31:25,043
where several residents
have reported a disturbance.
452
00:31:25,258 --> 00:31:26,669
[crowd exclaiming]
453
00:31:40,023 --> 00:31:41,503
- Black Lightning!
- Look, look, look!
454
00:31:41,566 --> 00:31:43,432
Look! It's Black
Lightning and Thunder!
455
00:31:48,615 --> 00:31:51,277
It's a good thing Freeland's
power grid is so easy to hack.
456
00:31:56,957 --> 00:31:58,413
[crowd exclaiming]
457
00:32:02,003 --> 00:32:04,461
You're almost at the
intersection. There.
458
00:32:05,757 --> 00:32:07,168
[tires screeching]
459
00:32:08,051 --> 00:32:09,587
[cheering]
460
00:32:09,803 --> 00:32:11,885
Damn! Don't let that
car get between you.
461
00:32:12,097 --> 00:32:13,132
I know.
462
00:32:16,893 --> 00:32:18,224
[tires screeching]
463
00:32:20,689 --> 00:32:21,689
[people cheering]
464
00:32:21,857 --> 00:32:23,537
[man] Let's got, Black
Lightning, let's go!
465
00:32:27,028 --> 00:32:28,234
[cheering and whistling]
466
00:32:32,159 --> 00:32:33,524
[man on TV] It's crazy, man.
467
00:32:33,743 --> 00:32:36,075
I mean, it still bugs me
when I see Black Lightning.
468
00:32:36,288 --> 00:32:38,996
Negro running around looking
like a modern-day George Clinton.
469
00:32:39,207 --> 00:32:42,700
But now he got that fine-ass
woman running around with him.
470
00:32:43,128 --> 00:32:44,493
Must be nice.
471
00:32:44,713 --> 00:32:46,858
[woman] I'm happy to see
them both out here trying to help.
472
00:32:46,882 --> 00:32:47,997
Since they showed up,
473
00:32:48,216 --> 00:32:50,456
less of these kids out here
trippin' on that Green Light,
474
00:32:50,594 --> 00:32:51,709
- that's for sure.
- Yeah.
475
00:32:51,928 --> 00:32:52,928
For sure.
476
00:33:02,564 --> 00:33:03,645
[chimes]
477
00:34:06,628 --> 00:34:07,628
[sighs]
478
00:34:12,551 --> 00:34:13,757
[cell door unlocks]
479
00:34:20,141 --> 00:34:22,303
Glennon admitted to
planting the evidence.
480
00:34:22,519 --> 00:34:23,805
You're being
cleared for release.
481
00:34:24,020 --> 00:34:25,020
[sighs]
482
00:34:26,898 --> 00:34:28,559
Thanks, brother.
483
00:34:28,775 --> 00:34:30,766
The next few rounds are on you.
484
00:34:31,319 --> 00:34:33,105
[Chief Cayman] I was
told you were down here.
485
00:34:34,030 --> 00:34:35,111
What are you doing?
486
00:34:35,323 --> 00:34:38,281
Police work. You
should try it sometime.
487
00:34:38,493 --> 00:34:40,860
You just flushed your badge
down the toilet, Henderson.
488
00:34:41,079 --> 00:34:43,662
Mr. Pierce, once you get
dressed, you're free to go.
489
00:34:52,007 --> 00:34:53,007
Hey!
490
00:34:53,967 --> 00:34:54,967
[grunts]
491
00:34:55,176 --> 00:34:56,211
What the hell?
492
00:34:56,428 --> 00:34:58,948
I'm embarrassed that it took
me this long to do the right thing,
493
00:34:59,055 --> 00:35:00,055
[grunts]
494
00:35:00,098 --> 00:35:03,011
Start weeding this
place of all the rot.
495
00:35:03,602 --> 00:35:05,809
But once Detective
Glennon got going,
496
00:35:06,187 --> 00:35:08,178
he had an awful lot to
say, mainly about you.
497
00:35:08,398 --> 00:35:10,118
[Chief Cayman] Don't
play cop games with me.
498
00:35:10,275 --> 00:35:11,275
[groans]
499
00:35:11,484 --> 00:35:12,962
You know, who knew
you were smart enough
500
00:35:12,986 --> 00:35:14,568
to seek out some
shell corporations,
501
00:35:14,779 --> 00:35:17,862
but dumb enough to leave
the paperwork in your house?
502
00:35:18,074 --> 00:35:21,988
You're under arrest. The
officer will read you your rights.
503
00:35:22,621 --> 00:35:24,578
You're making a
mistake, Henderson.
504
00:35:24,789 --> 00:35:27,030
Hey. You don't know
how this town really works!
505
00:35:31,713 --> 00:35:33,169
Actually, I do.
506
00:35:41,431 --> 00:35:42,546
Daddy!
507
00:35:42,766 --> 00:35:44,177
[laughing]
508
00:35:44,392 --> 00:35:45,507
I'm so happy you're home!
509
00:35:45,727 --> 00:35:50,016
Oh. Me, too, sweetie. Me, too.
510
00:35:51,149 --> 00:35:53,982
You know what? I'm hungry.
Let's get some ice cream.
511
00:35:54,194 --> 00:35:57,357
- [sighs] Well, I guess we had our moment.
- Yeah.
512
00:36:01,076 --> 00:36:02,362
[knock at door]
513
00:36:12,003 --> 00:36:13,038
[inhales deeply]
514
00:36:18,426 --> 00:36:19,426
[Anissa chuckles]
515
00:36:19,511 --> 00:36:20,876
It's Uncle Gambi.
516
00:36:21,096 --> 00:36:22,096
[sighs]
517
00:36:22,681 --> 00:36:23,716
[chuckles]
518
00:36:28,103 --> 00:36:29,434
Thanks for coming over.
519
00:36:31,481 --> 00:36:33,688
Anissa told me what you did.
520
00:36:34,484 --> 00:36:36,816
Did she tell you about
the self-driving van?
521
00:36:37,028 --> 00:36:39,690
I'm really proud of
the self-driving van.
522
00:36:40,824 --> 00:36:43,282
Do you think the ASA
bought your hologram move?
523
00:36:43,910 --> 00:36:45,116
For now.
524
00:36:48,039 --> 00:36:49,200
Jefferson, I...
525
00:36:49,416 --> 00:36:54,286
Look, I don't know how things
are going to be, moving forward.
526
00:36:54,879 --> 00:36:56,586
I don't expect
you to forgive me.
527
00:36:58,091 --> 00:37:00,458
I might not be able to.
528
00:37:00,760 --> 00:37:03,752
But I still can't forget
what you've done for me.
529
00:37:05,515 --> 00:37:06,880
For my family.
530
00:37:12,313 --> 00:37:15,476
I want to find a new balance.
531
00:37:17,026 --> 00:37:18,266
Somehow.
532
00:37:21,990 --> 00:37:23,105
Okay-
533
00:37:24,784 --> 00:37:27,151
Just let me know
what you need from me.
534
00:37:27,370 --> 00:37:30,988
I need you to help me
save those children.
535
00:37:32,792 --> 00:37:35,659
Revelations that renowned Garfield
High Principal, Jefferson Pierce
536
00:37:35,879 --> 00:37:39,042
was framed by Freeland
PD Deputy Chief Cayman.
537
00:37:39,257 --> 00:37:40,839
He has been
completely exonerated,
538
00:37:41,050 --> 00:37:43,542
while Cayman and his
cohorts are in custody.
539
00:37:43,762 --> 00:37:46,754
We go live now to the
Freeland PD press conference.
540
00:37:46,973 --> 00:37:49,465
This is a new day in Freeland.
541
00:37:49,976 --> 00:37:54,311
For years, good folk have
suffered from over or under-policing,
542
00:37:54,522 --> 00:37:57,605
from police brutality
instead of public safety,
543
00:37:57,817 --> 00:38:01,026
and from corruption
rather than professionalism.
544
00:38:01,237 --> 00:38:03,194
I am of this community,
545
00:38:03,406 --> 00:38:07,741
from this community, and
devoted to this community.
546
00:38:07,952 --> 00:38:10,660
With the support
of the Police Chief,
547
00:38:10,872 --> 00:38:13,910
I embrace my new
role as Deputy Chief.
548
00:38:16,419 --> 00:38:18,456
And I promise the
people of Freeland
549
00:38:18,671 --> 00:38:20,503
a better police department.
550
00:38:23,551 --> 00:38:26,168
So, Gambi, you're the eldest.
551
00:38:27,305 --> 00:38:28,466
Lead us?
552
00:38:33,102 --> 00:38:37,767
We are thankful for the
companionship that warms our hearts,
553
00:38:38,066 --> 00:38:41,809
for the food that we're about to
eat that will nourish our bodies,
554
00:38:42,654 --> 00:38:46,192
and we're thankful for your eternal
protection which maintains our souls.
555
00:38:46,866 --> 00:38:47,866
Amen.
556
00:38:47,992 --> 00:38:49,027
[all] Amen.
557
00:38:49,244 --> 00:38:50,530
Let's eat.
558
00:38:53,164 --> 00:38:54,164
Here you go.
559
00:38:54,290 --> 00:38:55,075
Thank you.
560
00:38:55,291 --> 00:38:56,291
Yes.
