Previously onBlack Lightning...

They took my research.

Who? Tobias?
-No! Special Agent Mason.

You're under arrest.

Fourteen counts
of violation of civil rights.

Val. He used me to harness
Val's nullifying powers.

But how did
he manage to nullify me

and Jennifer and Anissa

without being
in close contact with us?

The emitter.
Tobias must have someone

on his payroll at Monovista.

What the hell
is going on?

It seems that somehow
everyone lost their powers.

Hi, Jen.
So, you see that warehouse?

Yep. There's a truck
parked in the front.

Okay, good. So, in a moment,

men are gonna come
out of that warehouse

to load it
with cryogenic containers.

The containers have
the stolen meta-genes, right?

Yes. Now, I'm gonna
need you to grab one

of those containers, okay?

Why don't I just light them up?

Go inside
and light them up, too.

Because we need
the stolen meta-genes

to prove
that our theory is right.

Now, would you please
just stick to the plan?

I got you, Harriet. Calm down.

Freeze!
Come on!

Wait. Whoa, Jen,
you good? You okay?

I'm good.

Be there soon.

All right.

Katie, where the hell is
my shipment?

The shipment left
the warehouse as scheduled,
but never arrived.

Check all cameras
at the warehouse.

Wait a minute.

Jennifer Pierce is
supposed to be gone.

Who the hell is this?

Katie, check
all social media accounts

for Jennifer Pierce.

Checking social media.

Katie, now run a DNA scan
on both Jennifer Pierce and JJ.

-Scanning database.

We're gonna see who this
damn lightning bug really is.

♪ Last night
I saw a superhero
He was Black ♪

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

What's eating you, Jeff?

Double scotch, neat.

You know,
without my powers, I...

Well, I feel like
I'm missing a limb.

Like, I'm... half a man
or something.

Well, that's not true.

You aren't defined
by your powers.

They've been a part of me
for so long, maybe I am.

Or...

was.

Now, I can't protect my family.

I am going
to find that emitter,

and you are gonna
get your powers back.

I promise.

Uh, you're gonna have
to drink alone.

I can't be late.

I got it.

Thanks.

Look, I know
you don't wanna hear this,

but what it comes
down to is this.

You're gonna have
to take a plea deal.

A plea deal? Why? I'm innocent.

I know that. But I've checked
their witness statements

-and they are iron-clad.
-No, they can't be.

I'm not guilty of anything.

If you take this to court,
the government won't hold back.

Your family history,

any indiscretions or secrets
will become public.

Are you prepared for that?

I can make sure
you have minimal jail time.

Whoa, what? Jail time?

No. Hell no.
We're not doing this.

-We are not doing what?
-We're not taking a plea deal.

As her lawyer, her best course
of action is a plea deal.

Look, as her husband,

I'm telling you, we are not
accepting a plea deal.

First of all,
you're her ex-husband.

-That's none of your business--
-Stop, both of you, now!

I can speak for myself.

This is... this is my decision
and mine alone. Am I clear?

And after
Councilman Holland's
withdrawal from the race,

Tobias Whale has won
the election

and is the new mayor
of Freeland.

We've received a statement
from Mayor Whale which reads,

"Thank you
for electing me Mayor.

I am honored and humbled
to represent this great city.

I look forward
to working with all of you,

for the betterment
of Freeland."

Sir,
Chief Lopez has arrived.

-Access granted.

Chief Lopez.
Always good to see you.

I'm guessing you've come by
to congratulate me.

I did.

Knew you would win.

I welcome your confidence.

But I assume
you want something.

How can I help you, Chief?

I need more firepower

to deal with this meta-human
who calls herself Lightning.

Can you arrange
for more second-gen DEGs?

I actually may have
something better.

What are those?

Meta-boosters, my friend.

Designed to grant
specified power

to whomever you choose.

Metas are responsible

for everything
that's wrong in the world.

I'm not turning
my officers into beasts.

Which you wouldn't be.

Metas go bad
because they're weak-minded.

You, on the other hand, are
smart, strong, insightful.

Besides, the powers are
temporary, and you'll handpick

the officers who'll wield them.

Think of it this way.

You carry guns
because the bad guys do.

Why not carry powers
for the same reason?

Excellent choice.

I've arranged a nullifying wave

to block meta-powers
from those unworthy of them.

This blocks the wave signal.

Pair this with these,

and you'll be good to go.

DNA analysis completed.

Thank you for coming by, Chief.

Katie, what are the results?

The DNA sequence
of both subjects are identical.

That's impossible.

They are one and the same.

So our mystery "JJ" is
Jennifer Pierce.

That is affirmative, Mr. Whale.

Red, get in here.

You did what?
-Dad, calm down.

No. "Calm down"?

You went back
up to the damn ionosphere.

And did you conveniently forget
that your ass blew up

the last time
you were up there?

Okay, but she didn't this time,
and she got her powers back.

How could you be
a part of this?

Whoa, believe me, I was not
happy about it at all.

And I tried to stop her,
but her mind was made up.

That was extremely reckless.

We get that. But sometimes
what looks reckless

actually gets stuff done.

And what did you actually
get done?

What is that?

-Stolen meta-genes.
-Excuse me?

All right. So,
I ran into my friend Kiki

at your facility.
She told me she was pregnant

and there was some abnormality
in her pregnancy.

Sounds vague.
What kind of abnormality?

-Sketchy, right?
-Yeah.

So, then I learned that she

and a lot
of other pregnant women were

being sent
to a different clinic

to remove a specific gene.

Turns out
those women were

carrying babies
with the meta-gene.

And so the clinic removed them.

Yep.
So, then I reached out

to my friend Darius,
asked if he could help me

look into it. And now...

now he's dead.

So we've got
a clinic owned by Monovista

doing pregnant woman dirty.

Covering up what's probably
a professional hit.

Sounds like
it's what we thought.

Monovista and Tobias are
in bed together.

Tobias educated himself

on meta-genes
when he was in the pit.

And now he's had
the emitter built.

And next-generation DEGs.

Plus, he's
stockpiling meta-genes,

and he took our powers.

He's picked up right
where the ASA left off.

Hey, I got your text.
What's wrong?

Nothing's wrong. I got someone
who wants to talk to you.

Hey, Khalil.

Well, it's good to see you.
You all right?

Ah, Mr. P. I'm good.

You still...

Dealing with Painkiller?

Yeah.

And he's screaming like hell
to get at you, too.

Remember, his last order was
to kill the Pierce family.

Yeah. How could I forget?

And it's under control.
For the most part.

That's quite the setup
you got there.

Yeah. Yeah, it works for me.

Uh... But I actually
reached out to help you.

I've been in touch with TC
and he told me you were set up.

Figured it must be Tobias,

and since I used
to collect for him...

Well, I paid
his accountant a visit.

I got this.

It's a digital ledger.

It has a bunch of people in it
that Tobias used to pay off.

A lot of cops,
lawyers, public officials.

Bankers, brokers, barbers.

What? Barbers?

I guess
if you want information, right?

It drops
in the barbershop.

Now, there is one entry
who was getting seriously paid,

but we can't find an ID.

It has no data trail.

We got a name?

More like a code name. Looker.

Looker?

Yeah, I know who that is.

A hateful, racist woman
I was hoping

Freeland would be rid of.

The ASA locked her up,

but she disappeared
during the war.

Looks like Tobias
tracked her down.

Why would Tobias be paying her

ten times more
than he's paying everyone else?

When did
the payments start?

Three months ago-ish.

Well, Looker's a meta. She's...

She got this silver thing
in her blood that she can

put into other people
and make them do

whatever she wants.

Tobias must have paid her
to make people set you up.

That's why
the framing was so good.

How about this?

There's an address
for her in the ledger.

I'll just go get her.

Whoa, Khalil,
be careful, all right?

She's dangerous.
She got claws...

and she's stronger and faster
than a normal human.

Yeah, well... so am I.

I'm gonna
need her alive, though.

He'll work with me,
Mr. P. I got you.

So... how's Jen?

You know, getting on my nerves.
Does not care.

Lovely.

As soon as I get
this kill order out of my head,

I'll be back home.

In the meantime, please,

let me take care
of this for you.

I appreciate you, man.

Before you ask, I haven't
made any decisions

about the plea deal yet.

You may not have to.

What do you mean?

Khalil got a ledger
from Tobias's accountant.

Turns out, we can prove

that he paid Looker
to set us up.

Looker? I thought she was gone.

Speaking of gone,
how did you find Khalil?

I didn't. He kept up with TC.

And he volunteered
to get her for us.

Wait. You know I worked

with the silver element
in Looker.

I have an idea for a serum

that could extract it
from anybody that she controls.

Perfect. I know exactly who
we need to help us with this.

Who?

Detective Shakur.

Jen, I gotta show you
this new phone thingy. I--

What's wrong?

Something off with my powers.

I wish I still had my powers.

I used them earlier and I felt
like a drained battery.

Maybe you're just dehydrated.

Stay away from the soda
and drink more water.

Mmm, no. That's not it.

What about your emotions?

I remember you saying
when you first started,

you would get emotional

and couldn't control
your powers.

No, this is different.

Besides, I'm not emotional
about anything.

Yes, you are. You like Uriah,
but you're mad at him.

So maybe it's messing with you.

I don't like him.

Stop lying. Yes, you do.

Plus, it's okay.
You can like him.

He wasn't the one
who set you up.

-Yes, he did.
-No, he didn't.

That's what I came to show you.

I tapped into the dark web

and I gained access
to Uriah's IG account,

and I realized that
someone hacked it before me.

That's who sent you the message
to meet up with him.

Don't tell me,
it was Lopez's trap.

Had to be Lopez's hack.

You're right. He was
hacked by Freeland PD.

That's messed up.

Why hack Uriah?

Well, they were watching
your Lightning account

and saw you responding to him.

That's on me.

So stupid.

You're right.

Then I figured you would
respond like that,

so... I thought
that it was best

that you and Uriah
make things right

by going on a date.

What? I have a date with Uriah?

It's all set up.
Here's the address.

And it's in a couple of hours.

I can't believe you did this.

I'm sorry.
I thought you still...

Really sweet of you.

Jerk.

Your shirt is hideous,
by the way. Love you.

Grab me the baking soda.

Baking soda?

-Yeah.
-Okay.

Everything in here will
have a bitter taste.

Baking soda will mask it.

Okay, here you go.

Once ingested,

this should bond
to the silver element,

causing the body to repel it.

Should?

We have no way to test it.

Okay. So that means

Dad and Hassan could
wind up screwed. Great.

I'll pray.

Yo.

-Thanks for meeting me.
-Well, sounded urgent.

Yeah. Look, I have proof

that Tobias paid
to set me and Lynn up.

What kind of proof?

Okay, there is a meta-human.
Her name is Looker.

Tobias paid her.

She has the power
to control people

with this silver element
that her body makes.

Wait. Come again?

Yeah.

Yeah. Fortunately, I'm used
to the, the weird and crazy.

The point is
that we will soon have her,

-but I need your help.
-With what?

We have to stop Looker
from doing any more damage

before we can get
our hands on her.

Now, Agent Mason is
the only one I could think of

that has ties
between me and Lynn's cases.

We have a serum

that we need to slip to him.
It'll... It'll let us know

if he is under her control.
And if he is, it'll free him.

Roofie a federal agent?
Have you lost your damn mind?

Look, she can see
through his eyes, man.

He's literally a puppet.

With a federal badge.

You're not even sure if he's
under Looker's influence.

It's assault.

Hell, it's aggravated assault
on a federal officer.

That's ten years.
Twenty for us brothers.

Yeah, I'm aware of that.

But we can't let her continue
to control him like this.

I hear you.

But there has to be
another way to do this.

I got a meeting
right now, um...

So, um...

Let me think on this.

You're meeting
with Black Lightning, right?

How the hell did you know that?

Wow. You've been playing me
this whole time.

No, I'm not playing you.
I just told you the truth.

No, this was a setup.

You backed me into a corner
so I could help you.

No, this is not a setup.

We've been working together
the entire time.

Now, I didn't tell you who
I was, but I never lied to you.

A lie of omission is a lie.

Why should I trust you,

let alone help you?

Because now
you know everything.

All my cards are on the table.

Look, Henderson said
I could trust you.

I'm trusting you with my life.

The ball's in your court, man.

Damn!

You look amazing.

Thank you.

I mean, TC told me
to meet you here,

but I wasn't
expecting you to...

I mean,

-I... I'm glad that you...
-It's okay.

TC is a little off, but he's
good people.

Yeah. Definitely.

I had some stuff about you
in my head that was wrong.

TC set me straight.

I'm sorry I've been
ghosting you.

It's all good.

Apology accepted.

But... you know you could've
just called, right?

I could have, but I'm glad
we have some alone time.

Seems like something is always
interrupting us.

Damn. You got
this whole place for us?

I would take credit for this,
but TC had the hookup.

Well, I'm not trying
to say I'm impressed, but...

-I'm impressed.

I wasn't trying to impress you,
but you should be.

I'm glad you came out.

I've been feeling you
for a minute.

Me, too.

Mason's here. You ready?

Yeah. Remember,
we need three coffees.

Coming in.

Thank you.

Okay.

Remember, we need

to both drink in front of him.

Put it in his head
to drink. All right.

-Ah, thanks for coming.

Thought you might
want some coffee.

Thanks.

I'm familiar with Mr. Pierce,

and I was able to prevail
on him to make a statement.

Are you ready to confess?

Yes.

Now, look, I know it looks bad,

but I want
to categorically reiterate,

I'm being set up.

This is your statement?

-Why did you waste my time?
-Just hold on a minute.

No. Don't you wanna
know the truth?

Now, I will start
from the beginning

and give you
every single detail.

You mean, all the lies?

No, the God's honest truth.
I mean...

Look, it's a long story,
all right?

But if you bear with me,
I promise you,

you won't be disappointed.

This coffee is awful.

Okay.

You have five minutes.

I don't like what I'm hearing,
and...

And I'm out of here.

Agent Mason, are you all right?

You did this.

I should've killed
you in South Freeland.

That's the craziest thing
I've ever seen in my life.

Oh, my God.
That was awful.

I felt like a puppet. Like...

like I was in that movie.
What's it called?

-Get Out.
-Okay, look.

A meta-human did this to you,

but my wife, Lynn, made
a serum that set you free.

Thank you.

I'll do my best
to repay the favor.

Thank you for coming.

Please, come in.

Have a seat.

What's that?

In a second. Please sit down.

I need to apologize to you.

You could have done that
over the phone.

Lauren, I'm sorry.

I needed to say that
to you in person.

I legitimately wanted
to help you with the emitter,

and I know it was
your passion project,

and I really did enjoy
spending time with you.

You're wasting my time,
Peter. I'm leaving.

There's something
you should know.

Tobias Whale presents himself

as an
altruistic philanthropist,

when in reality,
he is a notorious gangster.

The emitter that you
and I worked so hard on

has fallen into Tobias' hands,

and he's gonna use it
to hurt people.

That algorithm that I created

is designed
to locate the emitter.

And frankly, I could use
your help with it.

Why should I believe
anything you say,

much less help you?

You can come in now.

Hello. I'm Anissa Pierce.

Now, my Uncle Gambi pulled
his spy tricks on you

to help our family.

Now, I can't go into detail,

but you should know we are
dealing with life or death,

and you need to be concerned.

Why?

Well, because in addition
to what he's already told you,

Tobias has stolen meta-genes
from pregnant women,

and he's using
your R&D department to do it.

Check this out.

How can I help?

Okay, so
if you look here...

So, what do you have planned
for the rest of the night?

Hmm.

Run back
to the restaurant.

-Uriah!

Hey, girlie.

Here's the deal.

You could stop being Lightning

or you could watch
more people you care about die.

Your choice.

Uriah.

Uriah. Oh, my God.

So, you're Lightning, huh?

Don't cry.

Go.

Light up the world.

Why?

Why him?

This is all my fault.

No, it's mine.

I should've been able
to protect him.

My powers keep fading on me.

So it's not your emotions.

No, it's something else.

Probably the same thing
that took everybody's powers is

trying to get me again.

-Something else I got wrong.
-TC, stop.

Thanks to you, Uriah
and I finally got together.

He was such a good dude.

I know.

I know.

Gentlemen, I need
to get to the top.

All right.

Who are you?

I'm here to see Looker.

See this?

Matching knives?

Cute.

Fast.

But I'm trained for that.

We'll see.

Hey, this boy brought
a knife to a gunfight.

I'm a grown-ass man.

What did you say, boy?

Look, nobody has to die, okay?

I just need to get Looker.

He just needs
to get... Shoot him!

You son of a bitch!

I'm going to rip
your head clean off, boy.

Are you Looker?

Well, ain't I?

You're not so bad yourself.

Yeah, I think I'm gonna
keep you as a pet.

Right, look.

I need you to come with me.

Can we please
do this peacefully?

That's funny.

You're going to do as I say.

Yeah, I don't think so.

You know
this is our house, right?

Two Mandingos.

One for the field,

one for the house.

Oh, hell no.

What did you do to me?

I killed you.

Now, go to hell.

Don't kill her.

Come on, man.
Anyone with this amount

of hate deserves to die.

We need her alive
to take down Tobias.

Unless you want him to win.

No.

Looker's no good to us dead.

Let me drive.

All right.

Do you feel that pain
coursing through your veins?

That is the most lethal venom
on Earth.

Now, I only gave you
half of the antidote.

Notice your powers are
still gone.

You have no idea
who you're messing with.

Oh, I know exactly.
Tobias Whale.

Now, you're gonna
go back to Freeland,

and you're going to admit
to everything you did for him.

No. I'm not.

Listen. Be smart. Okay?

Your powers are gone.
Your men, they're gone.

And so is your money train.

Take the L, cooperate,

and you'll get the rest
of the anti-venom.

I appreciate you coming
with me to find the emitter.

I'm not doing this for you.

I built that emitter
to put good in the world.

I won't stand by while
my invention's being perverted.

-I'm getting something.

It's coming from underground.

The sewers?

There are tunnels
underneath Freeland.

You're kidding.

Put in during the Civil War,
expanded by bootleggers...

modernized by the ASA.

Lead the way.

Watch your step.

Thanks.

I'm still reading promethium.

Me, too.

I know it's not
the most romantic setting,

but I am glad
that you're here with me.

Same here.

The signal's stronger
down here.

This is the hotspot.

Let's see what we can
do about that.

You carry C4
around in your pocket

and you have your watch
as a detonator?

-Uh-huh.
You're killing me.

We should get back.

You all right?

-Yeah.
-Yeah.

Oh, it's everywhere.

Wait a minute.

That's why Monovista
came to Freeland.

Your higher-ups knew

that this vein of promethium
ran underneath the city.

Now, we'll never
find the emitter

by scanning for promethium.

It's everywhere.

This stuff is
highly radioactive.

We better get out of here.

Hey. Hey, it worked.
Agent Mason is free of Looker,

and Khalil captured her.

And Hassan is on his way
to pick her up right now.

Oh, finally some good news!

We're turning things around.

So, you can call Keith
and tell him we don't need him.

Oh, I don't need to worry
about Keith right now.

Let's just be in the present.

He was right about one thing.

We never did get remarried.

Well, what do you think
about throwing Grace and Anissa

a real wedding reception?

Yeah, that's a great idea,
but I said remarried.

I'm talking about us.

Oh, let's not talk
about that right now.

I wanna celebrate.

Oh...

I am pleased

and honored to be
the mayor of Freeland.

I am thrilled to be
the mayor of Freeland.

Sir,
the account activity

for Jesse Gentilucci has
been inactive.

Inactive?

Where is he?

Lock in on his position
and show me a camera view.

What the hell?

Run the footage back.

Freeze.

This ungrateful-ass,
nappy-head Negro is

still breathing
and don't have sense enough

to stay off my grass.

Ishmael,

I have some loose ends
I need to tie up.
