All language subtitles for Black Lightning s04e10.The Book of Reunification Chapter One Revelations.eng

Previously on Black Lightning...

I found out some serious dirt

on this fake cystic fibrosis treatment.

I'm already uploading everything
I got onto a thumb drive.

And as soon as I get it to
you, my ass is leaving town.

Darius.

His name is Ishmael.

Advanced training in
hand-to-hand combat,

especially swordsmanship.

And he's a meta hunter.

Dr. Stewart successfully
harvested my powers into the vials.

The nullifier boosters are authentic.

Let's make our move on Dr. Stewart.

You're under arrest.

- What... what... what for?
- Violation of civil rights.

Mr. Bates asked me
to work on it himself.

It's called an energy field emitter.

Look who's almost the
king of Freeland now.

Something's wrong.

I don't feel my powers.

Jeff, I don't know what's happening.

I can't feel my powers either.

My powers aren't working.

Lightning!

TC, something's wrong.

I could really use a little help here.

I'm trying.

Hold on, I'm trying.

Lightning, can you hear me?

What the hell is going on?

It seems that somehow
everyone lost their powers.

Yeah, I just figured
that out the hard way.

Are you hurt?

No.

Thankfully, Gambi is
always full of surprises.

Wait. If everyone lost their powers,

how are you talking to me right now?

I'm on an old earpiece from, like, 1903.

How do people still use these things?

I'm headed to the Sanctum.

This isn't even a battle.

I'm almost ashamed to keep going.

Almost.

Gambi, I need you to activate

the stealth mode in my suit remotely.

You're good to go.

Hands! Don't move!

Get your men outta
here. I can't hold him much longer.

- Get outta there, now!
- He's on the ground.

- We could take him right now.
- Just do it.

If Black Lightning's telling us,

he knows something we don't.

Jeff, you need to get
back to the Sanctum. Now.

You gonna show your face?

Huh?

I thought Black Lightning
was supposed to be a badass!

Or are you just a coward in a costume?

I'm on my way.

Grace?

Babe, you okay?

No, actually.

Anissa, you're bleeding.

Wait, the person in that
car almost took you out.

Why is someone trying to kill you?

Wait, why are we bruised and battered?

What the hell happened to our powers?

Come on.

Okay, we shouldn't be in here.

Look, babe, I know this is messed up,

but whatever's on that thumb drive,

Darius was trying to give to me.

It had him so terrified he was ready
to leave town. And now he's dead.

- We gotta stay and find it.
- Okay, what if the killer took it?

How do we even know it's still here?

What is it?

Wow.

That dude really did love his dog.

This must be Rusty.

What the hell?

So look, when you were in the hospital,

he was telling me he
had to euthanize his dog,

and that they were... Ugh.
That they were really close.

So, he compared me to his dog?

He never compared you to his dog.

- He was just saying...
- Whatever.

That is way more disturbing than that
dead body lying four feet from us.

Listen, I agree with you. I
think it's weird, too. But look.

Jackpot.

Wow. If I wasn't so repulsed,
I'd call you a genius.

That's all right, baby. You
can still call me a genius.

All right, but really.

If the neighbors heard gunshots,

the cops are probably on their way.

- We should get out of here.
- Yeah.

Damn.

We should go.

Damn!

Uncle Gambi, is
it just our powers affected?

Or all the metas in Freeland?
TC lost his powers, too.

Or all the metas everywhere?

I don't know yet.

But I am working on it.

We know you are.

Let's just get out of these suits.

How do we do that with no powers?

Aw.

You stuck in the same outfit.
How are you gonna make it?

This isn't funny, Anissa.

This is a prototype

of the module I use to conduct the
electrical currents within the suits.

It should do the trick.

Thanks, Uncle Gambi.

And thanks for putting that
bubble thing in my suit.

Kicked in just in time.

After your dad fell from the ionosphere

trying to save you,

I incorporated them into your
suits as an extra safety measure.

Good call.

Hey, look, you think
you can decrypt this?

Not without my powers.

But I think I may know
someone who can help.

All right, good.

Yeah.

You should probably get
down to the precinct.

Lynn's been arrested.

This is nowhere near orthodox.

Not to mention, I already put
my ass on the line tonight.

Let's just say things didn't go so well.

The name Jefferson Pierce is
trash in Freeland right now.

People say you betrayed the entire city.

But I trusted Bill
Henderson with my life.

And apparently, he trusted you with his.

So... you got five minutes.

All right. I appreciate you, man. Truly.

Jeff.

- You all right?
- No.

No, the... the charges
are really serious, Jeff.

Fourteen counts of
violation of civil rights.

Human experimentation on children
in a government black site,

reckless endangerment. I...

I'm scared. Jeff, I'm really scared.

- We're gonna get you out of here.
- Where... where are the girls?

Uh... I just left them at the Sanctum.

Something's not right.

We all lost our powers.

What? How?

We don't know yet, exactly, but...

It's Tobias. It's all Tobias.

He just put out a statement

disassociating himself
from you and the clinic.

Oh, son of a bitch.

Okay, look. I promise you,

I will do everything in my power

to get you out of here.

- Oh, Keith.
- Got here as soon as I could.

Thank you so much for coming.

This is Jefferson.

Oh, hey. Good to meet
you. Keith Michaels.

Michaels. Oh, you're
Lynn's old college buddy.

We're gonna get Lynn home. Real soon.

I'm not sure we can afford you.

No, Jeff, it-it-it's handled.

Appreciate it, man.

Jefferson, you need to go.

Feds'll be back in here any second.

She's in good hands.

Thank you. You stay strong.

- Yeah.
- Thank you.

Thank you so much for coming.

♪ It's better than being
alone alone, lone ♪

Thanks for letting me stay over.

You know you're always welcome.

Mm-hmm. Except when she's not.

What?

I kid, I'm kidding.

We need to get our powers back.

They were the only real tie
I had left to my identity.

If I can't be Lightning anymore,

who am I?

Look, whether you have your powers,
or you look different or not,

you are my sister.

And that, I know in my soul.

So just hold on to that, okay?

Until Gambi can... figure out a way
for this all to go back to normal.

You know damn well this
family doesn't do "normal."

She's not wrong about that.

Mm-mm.

Glow of success.

"If a man shall begin with
certainties, he shall end in doubts.

But if he will be content
to begin with doubts,

he shall end in certainties."

I wanna see this thing in action.

Cool.

Now remove the bracelet.

I wasn't gonna actually shoot you, Red.

Now that we have assurances
that the emitter is working,

time to initiate phase two of the plan.

Oh, and...

you owe me a vase.

That was Lalique.

- Hey.
- All right. What's happening with Mom?

Her bail's been set at three million.

Dollars?

Yeah. Your mother's facing
some serious charges.

Bogus as they may be.

How're we gonna come
up with that kind of money?

It's never gonna come
to that. She's innocent.

And she has the best
attorney in the country

fighting her case right now, so...

Wait, how... how do you know
about who her attorney is?

Well...

Mom used her call at the
precinct, and she reached out to me

and asked if I could reach out to Keith.

Who's Keith?

She had you call him?

Dad, look, you said yourself that she's

fighting some really serious charges.

And a public defender just won't cut it.

We need a pit bull on this.

Uh, yeah. How're we
supposed to pay for all this?

It's okay. I got it covered.

Right. Of course.

Dad, come on. You don't want
her sitting in jail, do you?

Now, I know my supplemented
income is a sore subject for you,

but we don't have time for
a moral debate right now.

Getting Mom home is the first priority,

by any means necessary.

Second priority is
getting our powers back.

Uncle Gambi, have you been
able to find anything out yet?

Trying to identify what might
be interfering with your powers

and what could possibly restore them.

Promise you, I'll be
working on it all night.

Yo, thank you for helping
me out with that drive.

I literally couldn't
have done it without you.

Ah, don't sell yourself short.

You've demonstrated a real knack
for coding even without your powers.

Now that you don't
have 'em, lean into it.

- Let's find out how good you really are.
- Maybe you're right.

- I just couldn't have done it as quickly.
- Okay.

Hey, TC, I gotta run.
I'll talk to you soon.

Okay, no problem.

I'm gonna get the current
drives over to Anissa

and I'll hit you back.

Thanks again.

Yo, my bad.

You in?

Yeah.

All right. Now, where
the hell am I going?

Uh, looks like
you've got about ten more feet.

Ten...

I swear...

there better be something

on that damn ledger to help nail Tobias.

Wait, hold up.

Are you trying to tell me

that the world's deadliest assassin

is claustrophobic?

No. No.

Hey... I just don't like tight spaces.

Okay. So I guess in other words,

you could say, maybe claustrophobic.

Are we there yet?

Uh, well, let me see.

Philky, don't you play with me.

You know what, you're right.
Affirmative. You are there.

All right, I'm in.

What am I looking for?

A three-panel painting on a wall.

Behind the second one, there is a safe.

Inside the safe,

there is a thumb drive with
the digital ledger on it.

Got it.

What's the code?

It's 1956...

Wait, hold on.

You got company.

Hey!

So...

who wants to die first?

You said 1956?

You are a miracle worker. Thank you.

I couldn't have spent
another night in there.

What, you lost faith in
me after all these years?

- No.
- You know I play to win.

Once I found out the judge on your case

was looking to score his kid a college

entrance at our alma mater? No-brainer.

Plus, I had added incentive.

It was either get you released or face

the wrath of that daughter of yours.

Anissa's no joke.

No.

You could always make me laugh

in the worst possible situations.

I'm sorry we couldn't avoid that.

Oh, yeah.

It's not my best look.

- How you doin'?
- Just glad to be coming home.

Give me a shout if you need
me, no matter what time.

No, thanks, man. We, uh...
we got it for tonight.

Uh-huh.

Oh, uh...

I'll touch base tomorrow,
go over the next steps.

Okay, thank you.

Jeff, he moved mountains
for us in there.

The least you could do
is show your appreciation.

What? I thanked the man.
What more do you want?

- We should go home and see her.
- We'll go in the morning, okay?

I think Mom and Dad
just need space tonight.

Mm, so they can discuss
why you and Mom conspired

to have her ex-boyfriend
get her outta jail?

Okay, we did not conspire.

Mm, I don't think Dad sees it that way.

Front door visitor.

I'm sorry, guys. This
took a little time.

No, it's all good. You came
through. Now, what do you have?

It looks like a bunch of files.

I really can't tell
what they are, though.

- Open that one.
- Okay.

Uh-uh. Something's not right.

What is it?

According to this report,

none of the pregnant women at
the clinic had cystic fibrosis.

But they all had the meta-gene.

Wait, is that what they
were actually removing?

It sure looks like it.

This whole cystic fibrosis
thing was just a cover.

A cover for what?

Why would someone
wanna remove meta-genes?

More than likely to harvest to use
them for someone or something else.

Okay.

Yep, look. According to this report,

shipments were leaving
the clinic once a week.

And I bet that it's vials
from the extracted meta-genes

being moved to where
they're being harvested.

Yeah.

Darius knew about this.

Which is what he was trying to
tell you before he got killed.

Your colleague at the clinic?

He's dead?

Yeah. He must have been
going public with it.

Hey, TC, can you tell who
sent the file to Monovista?

Yeah, Philky taught me how to
put a tracer on IP addresses.

Okay, good.

One second.

Looks like the address
is being linked to...

The Center for Gene Therapy
and Genetic Research.

Someone at Mom's lab was after Darius?

I don't think so. I think someone
with full access to her lab

trying to cover their
tracks makes more sense.

- Tobias.
- Tobias.

Those delivery addresses
are probably just drop spots.

He's not that stupid.

He's gotta be keeping all
of them somewhere else.

All right, look, we're
gonna have to find them

because whatever he's trying
to do with these meta-genes,

we have to stop them.

Okay?

It looks so much better in here.

Adds that special something
to the place, don't you think?

All right, so you taunted
me with stealing my property.

Did you ask me here for anything else?

As of this moment, your war
with The Hundred gang ends.

And whatever's left of the
Kobra Cartel belongs to me now.

Of course, I'll throw
you a 10% management fee.

But let's be clear, I run this now.

Hmm.

Should've had your people search me

before you started talking about
taking over my entire operation.

Because that ain't happening.

Ain't she cute?

I could always put in a
call to my girl, Chief Lopez.

Feed her all kinds of juicy
tidbits about the Kobra Cartel.

Money drops. Illegal card games.

Human trafficking.

Without a doubt,
incarceration would be swift.

But why bother when I can
just force the issue now?

If he did that with a gun, imagine
what I'll have him do to you.

What are you waiting for? Do something.

Tobias already got to you, didn't he?

He made me a better offer.

Nothing in Freeland gets by me.

When a highly-skilled meta
hunter of Ishmael's caliber

goes slumming it with the likes of you,

it's only a matter of time before
he decides to explore, shall we say,

more lucrative options.

Nothing personal.

Hmm.

You have a nice day.

Guess I should've known
you'll always be a spy first.

- Lauren...
- Back up.

And I was dumb enough to believe

that those memories actually
meant something to you.

You just wanted to steal promethium.

I don't blame you for being angry.

But you would've shot me already

if that's what you wanted to do.

So let me explain, okay?

All right?

Thank you.

While you're at it,

you can also explain to me
what you did with the emitter.

The emitter?

The emitter, Peter.

It's gone. And I know you took it.

I know you have every
reason to doubt me right now.

Using the Go board
was a crap thing to do.

I'm sorry.

But I had to get access
to that promethium

and I wasn't sure I could trust you yet.

Trust me with what?

I will explain everything
to you when I'm able.

But I can tell you that I
did not take the emitter.

- I swear.
- Who did, then?

I honestly don't know.

I'm gonna find out. I promise.

So these people are
all connected to Tobias how?

It looks like a payroll.

I mean, he's probably employing
them for his dirty work.

Hmm.

Damn.

What the hell does she do?

Whatever it is, she is
definitely important to Tobias.

Twenty grand a month.

Still less.

Where is Grace with
this takeout? I'm starving.

Uh, why does my kitchen look like
an episode of MythBusters?

And what're you doing
with my toaster, girl?

- This was a wedding gift...
- Hear me out.

We know whatever Tobias is doing with

these stolen meta-genes, it ain't good.

I'm thinking at least one of us needs

our powers back before we take him on.

Jen, I hear you.

If we knew a way to make that happen,
yeah, sure. But what are you...

Gambi said something at the Sanctum

that gave me an idea
to bring my powers back.

If the key to my powers is
I'm supposed to be a generator,

why shouldn't I be able to
jump-start them? You know, like a car.

You mean, electrocute yourself?

Basically, yeah.

And according to science, all
this is the best way to do it.

Okay, you trippin'. I'm not
helping you with that. Mm-mm.

Anissa, this could be our only
shot at getting our powers back.

You wanna stay like this forever?

Jen, you're missing
one small detail here.

You don't have your powers.

What if your heart
stops, huh? Permanently?

See, that is where my brilliant,
medical doctor sister comes in.

If my heart stops, you'll be right
here to get her pumping again.

No! Hell, no. Jen!

Jen! Jen!

Oh, my God!

Jen! Jen! Shonda!

Shonda, call 911.

Come on. Don't do this, please.

Jen, please. Please don't do this.

Wake up. Damn it, wake up!

Jen, wake up!

Please, don't do this. Wake up.

Jen! Jen!

Oh, my God.

If you would have died,
I would have killed you.

Classic Anissa logic.

How you feel?

I feel great.

Anissa, it worked.

But I still need to
draw a lot more power.

Girl, you just blew out all
the electricity in my place.

Where are you gonna get
a bigger source from?

You trying to blackout all of Freeland?

You know what? You have
completely lost your damn mind.

Look, just hear me out!

Seriously? After everything
you've been through,

you're telling me you wanna
go back to the ionosphere?

It's the only way I
can regain enough power.

And what do you want
me to tell Mom and Dad

after you go up there and
something goes wrong again?

It'll be different.

Since I'm only barely above empty,

I won't overload myself like before.

- No.
- Anissa, I know this'll work.

It has to.

My entire identity was wiped out.

Gone.

And I know everyone says

that they know that I'm the
same old Jen, but do you?

Because I don't.

This isn't just about powers.

Being able to access Lightning
was the only thing keeping me sane.

And I know I'm paying the price
for the risk I took before.

But if going back to the ionosphere

is the only chance I have
at getting my powers back

until Gambi can figure this all out,

you're damn right I'll risk it again.

No, you just can't,
okay? What would Dad do?

Dad would do the same thing for me.

He did do it for me.

He almost died trying to bring
me back from the ionosphere.

So I owe him this.

'Nissa...

A huge part of me is gone...

and I just want it back.

Jen, what happens...

What happens if this time you go
up there and we lose all of you?

Hmm?

For good?

- I don't know.
- Exactly.

How you feeling?

Better. Thank you.

Can we talk about what's bothering you?

Is it Keith?

Um, I know this must be
uncomfortable for you.

No. It's not.

Then why are you acting like this?

Like what?

Ungrateful.

What do I have to be grateful for, Lynn?

That, uh... you have no faith in me?

You didn't think I could fix this.

That right now, I don't have
the power to protect you?

Jeff...

- Hey.
- Hey.

Thought you two might be hungry.

- Kitchen?
- Yeah.

What is clear is that
Tobias was using the clinic

to facilitate the loss of your powers.

Otherwise, why have
it taken away from me?

The question is, how is he doing it?

Was there any part of the lab
you didn't have clearance for?

No, I... I had complete
reign over the clinic,

it was one of the terms
Tobias and I agreed to.

If anything was being hidden in that
lab, it would've been hidden in...

In plain sight.

Val.

He used me to harness
Val's nullifying powers.

I wasn't running
tests to find a cure for ALS.

Tobias wanted a blueprint to produce
the technology of a nullifier.

As opposed to using one in the flesh.

Enabling him to nullify
any meta at any time.

But how did he manage to nullify
me and Jennifer and Anissa

without being in close contact with us?

The emitter.

What?

It's a project that I was
working on at Monovista.

It's a device that was
inspired by a design of Tesla's.

It's a type of disseminator.

They were supposedly using it to...

to generate and distribute clean,

free energy throughout Freeland.

How did he get his hands on that?

Tobias must have someone
on his payroll at Monovista.

So the power to nullify and
the ability to broadcast it.

Tobias just became

the most powerful man in Freeland.

And he used all of us to do it.

Locating and shutting down that emitter

is our only hope of you
getting your powers back.

Katie, when did this package arrive?

Shortly after
your departure for dinner.

Shall I scan it?

No, that won't be necessary.

Thank you for joining us, Mr. Whale.

We were wanting to
check on your progress.

It's going quite well, actually.

I've gained full control
of the city's gangs,

made all the right friends at City Hall

and have certain assurances that
my election as mayor is inevitable.

The mayor's seat is crucial.

We'll need you to be able to
operate publicly above board.

It's only a matter of time.

Freeland is mine.

And the metas?

Rendered under my complete control.

Each and every one of them.

That's quite a claim.

We assume you have
evidence to confirm it?

I wanna see this thing in action.

Now remove the bracelet.

Impressive.

We were not certain that
you could pull this off.

I assure you,

my appointment will be
the board's highest asset.

And assuming your assurances

play out with your mayoral seat,

so, too, will your seat

on the board.

We appreciate your time, Mr. Whale.

Just close the box.

I can't believe you just
let her go back up there.

Okay. Do you really think I
just let her go back up there?

I tried to stop her, she was gonna do

it whether I gave her
my blessing or not.

What was I supposed to do?

Tie her to the couch?

And what's going on with you?

You've been acting really strange
ever since we lost our powers.

And I know there's more to
it than that. I know you.

It bothers me.

Yeah, babe, it's bothering
all of us right now.

No, it bothers me how badly
you all want them back.

Babe, what if I don't?

I mean, 'Nissa, this could be
our chance to lead regular lives.

Whoa. "Regular lives"?
No, that's not for me.

I have to protect Freeland.

More importantly, I
gotta protect my family,

and that includes you.

Maybe we won't need
protecting if we're not metas.

If we weren't...

Think of all the problems
that have come with it.

How many of us have almost died?

Or gotten kidnapped?

Or arrested?

And then every time

we come even close
to a moment's peace...

I mean, how could we
even be a real family

as long as we have powers?

Listen...

I understand how you
feel, Grace, especially

on top of everything else
that you've gone through

since you were a really little girl,

and you're still trying to control
your shift, and I understand that.

Trust me, I do.

But when you met me, I was a meta.

When you fell in love with me,

I was a meta.

And, babe, if I gotta
go the rest of my life

trying to get my powers back,

then that's just what I gotta do.

I'm just saying, may...
maybe this is a sign.

That it's okay to let Freeland
take care of itself for once.

Its fate doesn't have to
all depend on the Pierces.

Yes, it does. This is who I am.

This is who we are.

And, yes,

I'm terrified for
Jennifer right now. I am.

But I also know that whatever
is thrown at my family,

we always come out okay.

I just...

You know, the longer we do this,

I can't help but wonder

if one of these days,
our luck is gonna run out.

I am Jennifer Pierce.

I am Lightning.

And no one or nothing
can take that from me.

Jen, slow down!

TC! How did you know that I...

Anissa told me everything.

Why would you go up
there without me again?

I don't know what's happening.

You're too far past the threshold.

You gained enough power
about 97 kilometers back.

Slow down and come back to Earth.

TC, I can't.

You can.

The particles will phase out

the further you get
away from the ionosphere.

Just start descending.

I did it, TC.

I did it.

Thank God.

Anissa would have killed
me if you didn't make it.

Welcome back.
