All language subtitles for Black Lightning S03E13

[BLACK LIGHTNING] Previously on
Black Lightning...

Besides Gravedigger, how many
metas are stable enough to fight?

None, I'm afraid.

Lynn's been kidnapped by the Markovians.

There is a substance that
Tobias' body produces

that is key to making
the stabilization serum.

I know that you have developed

a meta stabilization serum in America.

You will prepare it for us here.

So there's a chip in him.
Why don't we just take it out?

[GAMBI] The chip is
connected to Khalil's brain.

Removing it would kill him.

Firewall.

After everything that's happened,

how could you possibly work with them?

Because getting her back is
the only thing that matters.

Listen up. We're going
on to foreign soil

to engage a ruthless enemy
who knows we're coming.

So the ASA support is our best
chance of getting in and out alive.

Let's get to work.

Black Lightning.

[CHUCKLES] "Black Lightning"!

Never particularly cared for that name.

The news...

News called me that,

twenty-two years ago...

and it stuck.

Twenty-two years.

Feels like a thousand...

and then some.

[SIGHS]

All the blood,

broken bones,

[CHUCKLES] broken hearts...

and death.

All the death.

There was Lynn, witness to it all.

[STAMMERING] We tried to
balance a normal life,

you know, kids, career. [CHUCKLES]

But nothing... Nothing mixes
well with Black Lightning.

So, we fought.

We made up...

got divorced, got back together.

Just couldn't stop loving each other.

I grew up around...

drug dealers and drug addicts.
You know all that. Man...

I've seen drugs devastate people,

families...

I know the depth of addiction.

[INAUDIBLE]

I also know...

that Black Lightning's powers are...

useless in that fight.

[INAUDIBLE]

But they are not useless in the fight

in front of me right now.

This war...

for Freeland...

This war for Freeland took her from me.

If I have to break bones,

burn skin, draw blood...

If I have to kill, I will.

I'm getting her back.

You're right, Jeff, we'll get her back.

Big day tomorrow. You
should get some sleep.

[SNIFFLES]

Yeah.

[SIGHING WEARILY] Yeah.

- Well, you've got nowhere to go but up.
- [SIGHS]

Why don't we just reduce the difficulty

until they get the hang of it?

This isn't a damn video game.

We're training for a
mission we cannot fail.

Run it again.

Mr. Pierce, a word.

Major, I'm busy.

Everything we have on Painkiller.

As agreed.

And you'll provide
amnesty for my entire team?

As agreed.

Although your use of the
word "team" is a joke.

It takes weeks for
seasoned professionals

to train for a rescue op.

We have to launch this
op before the Markovians

find a way to force Dr. Stewart
to stabilize their metas,

and half your people can't fight
their way out of a paper bag.

Let me worry about that.

Say the word, and I will give you

my best ASA commandos.

They'll get you to the target,

you can do the rest.

My mission.

My team.

Good luck with that.

[DR. JACE] This spectrometer
is in dire need of an upgrade.

You haven't said anything all morning.

Are you not talking to me?

My research shows that
friendly human connections

start with a salutation of some sort.

So, good morning.

I'm a prisoner, miles
from home. So no, it isn't.

Greetings, doctors.

- Any progress?
- I'm afraid not.

You will make the stabilization serum.

[LYNN SHOUTS IN PAIN]

Kiss my ass. [GROANING]

If you kill her, she can't help us.

Then, I'm just in time.

Colonel.

Heard about Dr. Stewart.

I'll take it from here.

This is my operation, Gravedigger.

I have things well in hand.

No, you don't.

Note the presidential signature.

This is my operation now.

You are under my command.

I want a full briefing of this facility.

You have an hour to get it together.

Now, get the hell out of my face.

[LYNN BREATHING HEAVILY]

[DR. JACE] You've still not aged.

Don't analyze me.

I'm not one of your
subjects anymore, Jace.

I won't say it's good to see you,

because... it isn't.

Dr. Stewart.

Your reputation precedes you.

Welcome to Markovia.

You sound American.

I was.

But that's a long story for later,

after you've cured my people.

Your people?

There are 94 meta-humans here in pods

who could live healthy lives
with your stabilization cure.

You think I'm stupid?

You're weaponizing them!

Freedom ain't free.

Spare me the rationalization.

I'm not open to persuasion.

[CHUCKLES] It's... It's
interesting that you'd say that.

[VOICE DISTORTS] Make the
cure as fast as you can.

[LYNN GASPS]

[IN NORMAL VOICE] What are you staring at?

[FROM TV] ASA troops continue
to patrol the streets...

[JENNIFER] Hey.

...protecting the citizens from the
Markovian just outside our city.

Hey.

[ANNOUNCEMENT CONTINUES]

How you doing?

Perfect.

Just... catching up

with what's going on in the world.

I feel like I've been
in a bubble for years.

I know the timing's really bad...

but our rescue team
ain't looking so good.

- I need to ask you a favor.
- No.

No. No, the last thing I need to do is

go on another kill mission again.

Khalil, you know I'm not
asking you to kill anybody.

This is to get my mom back.

Please. You have more training
than all of us put together.

J, I want you to get your mother back.

Really, I do.

But I am more of a
liability than I am an asset.

- What are you talking about?
- He's still in my head, Jen.

I can't be trusted.

We've both killed for the ASA.

But I lied to my family about it.

They've lied to me,

Odell lied to you, at
least you've been honest.

So, as far as I'm concerned,

I trust you.

I killed my own mother, Jen.

Then help me save mine.

Please.

No.

[BREATHING HEAVILY]

Are you experiencing discomfort?

A migraine, perhaps?

Headache.

Whole head or part?

Front.

You know what happened. Tell me.

That was Gravedigger.

A meta-human with enhanced
strength and speed,

with the power to push
whoever is in earshot.

- "Push"?
- Mental domination.

Auditory stimulation
overrides the frontal lobe.

That's why I can't stop working,
even though I don't want to.

Give me the Glimmer.

- What? Lynn, you're not...
- Just give it to me!

Careful, or you'll OD. Lynn!

[GROANING]

Lynn?

Lynn!

[GRUNTING]

[BREATHING DEEPLY]

I don't have to finish.

The Glimmer causes hyperactivity
in the frontal lobe.

An antidote to being pushed.

Which means while he thinks
we're making the cure,

we can make something else.

Perhaps best not to test it.

Allow me to suggest a man does
not get the name "Gravedigger"

because he's kind and gentle.

Then you better hope
we don't get caught.

"We"? So we're bonding now?

We're in the same boat for now,

but it has a major leak in it.

Resisting Gravedigger's
push isn't enough.

We're gonna have to use
it to get out of here.

[HIP-HOP MUSIC PLAYING]

Awkward.

[TC] Stupid.

[INDISTINCT CHATTER AND LAUGHTER]

...not eating nothing.

- Hey.
- Hey, Jen.

Really? You're still holding on to this?

All I was trying to do was protect you.

Well, since you're gonna bring
it up in front of your girlfriend,

I don't need protecting.

All those times you watched
me break down over Khalil,

it never dawned on you
to tell me he's alive?

Jen, I was about to, okay?

But Painkiller damn near killed me,

he killed Tavon, the damn
thing killed Khalil's mom.

So, in my mind, Jen, he was not alive.

Look, I just figured you were
better off just not knowing.

[SCOFFS] And you think that's
up to you to decide for me?

You're just like Dad.

Hey, Jen.

Yo.

Hey.

You better dig deep, dude.

You've turned down joining the fight

in every simulation we've run.

Man, get out of my face.

Every team is as good
as its weakest link.

Just have the pride to
not consistently be it.

Coming at me with that pride stuff.

I know what the ASA is about.

I'm not trying to get killed for you.

Then why bother to go?

I don't have to explain nothing to you.

I will grant you the
ASA has been doing wrong.

But that's why I'm here,

to use my experience to help.

Oh, so now you wanna help?

Okay, so, how many kids have you killed?

Helped kill?

Exactly.

Come on, man! Do something.

I dare you.

[JEFFERSON] Really?

Does Jen know you're leaving?

No.

I'm not too good with goodbyes.

I think you owe her more than that.

Yeah.

I do, too.

Where are you gonna go?

I don't know,

but I gotta get out of Freeland,

for good this time.

Why?

Why would I stay?

I wanna apologize to you.

- You wanna apologize to me?
- Yeah.

I feel like I didn't do enough for you.

Look, it's like I said at
the hospital the night I died.

You did what you could.

So, apology not accepted.

You won't be hunted.

I had your name removed
from the ASA register.

You'll have a chance at...

somewhat of a normal
life, free from them.

Thanks.

That means a lot.

But I'll never actually be
free and clear from Painkiller.

I can't even trust myself.

What good would I be to anybody?

Well, you... You'd be a lot
of good to us in Markovia.

There is enough blood
on my hands, Mr. P.

Look, Khalil. We can't...

We can't undo our past mistakes.

All we can do is just...

move forward and try to do better.

Look, I just want you to know
that you would be a big help.

But I respect your
desire to... To take off.

If you ever find
yourself this way again,

you'll find our door open.

[DOOR CLOSES]

[GRAVEDIGGER] How many?

I didn't hear you come in.

I know.

How many cures have you created?

Uh... Two, so far.

That's all?

[VOICE DISTORTS] Work faster.

To work faster, I'm
gonna need your blood.

[IN NORMAL VOICE] My blood?

I took a look at your medical files.

Your blood has a property

that can supercharge serum production.

[VOICE DISTORTS] Why were you
looking at my medical files?

You're a stable meta.

[IN NORMAL VOICE] All right.

[MAJOR GREY] She's likely
being held in one of three labs.

There's a notable concentration
of energy consumption in Lab A.

That's probably our best bet.

Closest entrance is here.

Recommended egress, here.

Tough fight to get there.

Let's just go out the way we came in.

That's generally considered
a no-no in special operations.

So, they won't be expecting it.

Anything else?

Yes. We also need Tobias Whale.

No. No, my mission is to
get my wife back, that's it.

The Markovians can...

do whatever they want
with his evil albino ass.

He's the only one with
the unique bone marrow

needed for the stabilization cure.

If you leave him there,
we won't be able to

stabilize our metas,
and they'll all die.

If you're all right
with that, by all means,

leave him there.

[JAZZ MUSIC PLAYING]

What do you want now?

I just wanted to give you these.

Enter.

I snagged them from
one of the other rooms.

I figured you could use them.

- Thanks.
- Right. No problem.

The boots will enhance your
speed, and the vambraces...

I know what vambraces do.

[ERICA] Um...

I appreciate it.

Hey! What the hell?

Get out!

Now.

Freakin' weirdo.

["LEGEND" PLAYING]

Now the whole team is here.

We can go.

Whose idea was it for
Painkiller to come?

Mine.

Why? You know we can't trust him.

Don't worry about it.

If he gets out of pocket,

there's a way to shut him down.

Yeah, y'all sure better hope so.

I feel like I should tell you something.

What?

Major Grey had Erica chipped

and programmed with a kill order.

I was given the same order.

Kill me?

Dr. Stewart.

If she can't be saved,
Erica and I are to terminate.

- I won't, but...
- But she will.

I'm sorry, I would've
told you in the Pit,

but Major Grey would've known.

Actually, you don't
have to worry about it.

I kinda already deactivated
the chip in Erica.

What?

When you were watching us on your phone.

How did you know I was watching you?

Your phone told me.

Remember when I touched her hair?

I do remember that.

It was kind of creepy.
She thought so, too.

But when I touched her hair,
I wasn't trying to be romantic.

I mean, she's not really my
type. I love a woman who...

Get on with it, son.

Well, I'd seen the chip.

I figured it was bad,
so I deactivated it.

You're welcome.

Gambi's teaching you well.

Thank you.

Now I got some business to take care of.

[CLEARS THROAT]

I know it was a tough decision for you,

but I'm glad you decided to come.

My mom,

she always liked and respected your mom.

She'd want me to be here.

Plus, I wanna be the
guy that saves people...

not the one that kills them.

[HELICOPTER RATTLING IN TURBULENCE]

Hey, you okay?

Nobody's okay in here.

The plane was one thing, but this?

People weren't meant to fly.

If we were, we'd be born with wings.

[SCOFFS]

- [RAPID GRUNTING]
- You've never flown before?

Hey. Brandon, what's going on?

His powers are earth-based.

Makes sense that his body
would rebel against air travel.

All right, everything's gonna be fine.

You just need to calm down, okay?

Brandon.

Khalil, did you just poison him?

I can't poison. Only Painkiller can.

That was Kyushu Jitsu.

[INAUDIBLE]

Talk to me.

I should be the one to go after Lynn.

Under any other
circumstances, I would agree.

But they can find another Lynn.

They can't find another Tobias Whale.

Besides, as strong as the girls are,

tactically, they're still inexperienced.

Tobias is far too dangerous for
them to handle by themselves.

I just want to get there already,

know that she's safe,
and bring her home.

I'm proud of you, you know that?

I haven't done anything
for you to be proud of.

But you have.

Over, and over, and over again,

ever since you were 12 years old.

And now you're not only a hero,

you have the stature
to lead other heroes.

I am proud of you,

and Alvin would be, too.

What is a hero these days?

You are.

Thanks, old man.

We're landing in 30.

We'll be blacked out from Markovian
air defense for the next two hours.

[EXHALES SHARPLY]

If this doesn't work, they'll kill me.

It's working already.

Then, can I have some?

No.

Dr. Jace, you're wanted in Lab B.

TC and I will navigate
you through the compound,

alert you to any threats.

Let you know as soon
as we get eyes on Lynn.

Okay. Grace, hold your
position as long as you can.

Copy.

I'll drop down and
take out the first wave.

Thunder and Erica, you're with
me. We're going after Tobias.

Jennifer, Khalil, Brandon, Grayle,

you're going after Lynn.

Stay focused, be ready.

We're not going home empty-handed.

Let's do this.

I'm in.

About 30 meters, then make a left.

[BLACK LIGHTNING] Wait, we got a door.

It's not on my schematics.

I just hit it with 100 million
volts. It didn't even heat up.

[GAMBI ON RADIO] My guess is it's grounded

to diffuse energy blasts into the earth.

It can ground this. [GRUNTS]

[TC] I found Dr. Stewart.

- Where?
- She's in Lab A.

What about Dr. Jace?

Jace, Jace... uh, Lab B.

Okay, look...

- Brandon, wait.
- I'm on it.

Stay on mission. Come on.

I'll take point.

[MAN] Stand down!

Stand down!

- [GUNS FIRING]
- [ALARMS SOUNDING]

- Stop!
- What's going on?

Sounds like the cavalry
is here. [LAUGHS]

[COLONEL MOSIN] Quiet, squid.

Whoever it is, they will regret this.

You, you, take it to the bunker.

- [LAUGHING] Yeah.
- [COLONEL MOSIN SPEAKS FOREIGN LANGUAGE]

Damn!

Come on, same time.

[BLACK LIGHTNING GRUNTING]

What are we gonna do?

Can we find another way around?

[GAMBI] Negative.

Wait, Erica, get ready to
absorb. Thunder, hit her.

- Wait, what?
- Hit her!

[GRUNTING]

Yeah, again. Hard as you can.

More.

Wait, wait, wait.
We're just wasting time.

We're gonna get caught.

Wait, no, I think I get it.

Her power's organic like photosynthesis.

So, it'll follow the Fibonacci sequence?

[GAMBI] Exactly. Every blow Erica absorbs

creates exponential
growth in her powers.

Load her up.

Tell us when you've had enough.

I can't hold anymore.

Then don't. Handle that door.

Well, okay then.

Whoo! [LAUGHS]

[GAMBI] They're moving Tobias.

Probably to a more secure location.

We can't let them get there.

And you got Markovians coming your way.

- Go. We got this.
- [GUNS FIRING]

Go.

- Move!
- [GUN FIRING]

[ALARMS CONTINUE SOUNDING]

Dr. Stewart, we are moving you.

Take what you need to
keep working, and...

be quick about it.

[VOICE DISTORTS] Get rid of your detail.

[IN NORMAL VOICE] No! I didn't mean...

[VOICE DISTORTS] Stand still.

[GROANS]

[GROANS]

[YELLING]

[VOICE DISTORTS] Now, you're
gonna lead me out of here.

[GRUNTS]

[TC] You're almost there.
Twenty meters away, but...

But we have company. I feel them.

"Feel them"?

Excuse me.

There's more closing in from behind.

He's right. Now, Dr.
Stewart is on the move.

Hey, go. I'll hold them off.

- You'll be all right?
- Why wouldn't I be?

Never mind. Just take care.

Stand down, son.

Yeah, I'm not your son.

By the way you're standing,
your respiration...

you're not all there.

Bionics, lots of them.

Not enough nervous
system for me to push.

Not enough sense to run.

Clearly, you're what
they call a "millennial."

You talk too much.

[GRUNTING]

Not bad.

You don't wanna do this.

Like I said...

you talk too much.

[GAMBI] Heads up. The security detail

moving Tobias is
around the next corner.

We gotta go.

You stand a better chance
of getting out of here

if I'm not carrying your ass. This way.

It's actually nice
to see you, Jefferson.

Even if that was my name...

we're not on a first-name basis, bruh.

[CLICKS TONGUE] Negro, stop lying.

You don't want your cover blown,

don't keep coming out the
woodwork to save the Pierce girls.

And now you've come all
this way to save that

fine-ass ex-wife of yours.

I get it.

I've had a lot of quality
time with her myself.

What, she didn't tell you? [CHUCKLES]

Well, it actually is, "ex-wife."

She's quite charming...

for being a dope fiend.

[GRUNTING ANGRILY]

Maybe, I should just barbecue your ass.

- [GRUNTS]
- Come on now, Jeff.

You could've just
blasted those soldiers.

Look, you and I both know your black ass

used hand-to-hand combat
to avoid hitting me.

Is your name Jace?

It is. What can I do for you?

You can die, bitch.

[GRAYLE] Stop!

Brandon, stop!

Stop!

[DR. JACE COUGHING]

Who the hell was that?

Keep up.

I'm impressed.

You're fast, strong, well taught.

But experience is the best teacher.

Look, I got your measure, kid.

Stay down if you wanna live.

Heard a lot about you, Black Lightning.

Hate we had to meet like this.

- Mom.
- Jen! No, no, no.

[VOICE DISTORTS] Stand still.

Is he with you?

[IN NORMAL VOICE] Not at all.

- We need to go.
- No, no. Wait, wait.

[VOICE DISTORTS] Shock yourself,

and don't stop until you pass out.

[GROANING]

Oh, harsh. You have powers now?

[IN NORMAL VOICE] For another 20 minutes.

Which way?

Come on, there's a chopper waiting.

[GAMBI] Your sister has your mother.

- What about Grace?
- Erica got to her.

She's on the chopper.

Get out of there, Anissa. We have to go.

All right. I'm on my way.

Where's Black Lightning and Thunder?

She's on her way.

Black Lightning's not
answering his comms.

All right. I'm going after him.

[GRAYLE] Hold on!

You can't chase your
tail in an op like this,

otherwise, nobody goes home.

Hey, what's going on?

Dad's missing, and this
fool wants me to stay put.

He's right. Just give him a minute.

[GRAVEDIGGER, VOICE DISTORTED]
Everybody, stand still.

[VOICE DISTORTED] Walk away.

[IN NORMAL VOICE] That doesn't
work on me, Dr. Stewart.

Look, I'm not a murderer.

If you come with me,

everybody gets to go
back where they came from.

You don't,

everybody dies.

No, Khalil. It's too late.

I'll go.

[VOICE DISTORTS] Close
the door and take off.

[GRAVEDIGGER SCOFFS]

[IN NORMAL VOICE] Brother, you
are everything they said you were!

But so am I.

[YELLING]

Nobody touches my wife!

[LYNN] I love you!

[BLACK LIGHTNING] I love you.

Let's go home.
