Previously on
Black Lightning...

Hey, you okay?

I'm fine.

- What's happening?
- Told you what you needed to hear.

Fourteen of the vaccine kids
will survive.

I got past the briefcase's
firewall. Look.

I can't pinpoint exactly where they are,
but there are four metas here.

Now it all begins.

I was the architect of the original
vaccine program at Freeland.

When it ended,
I went to Markovia

to create a meta
program for them.

I already know there's
metahumans in the clinic.

But no one but me
knows where they are.

You get these metas,

and you will have more power
than you ever imagined.

I told you
I'd always have your back.

I'm sorry. I...

I just think Jen
needs more space.

Khalil was her first love.
She watched him suffer and die.

That's a lot.

It is a lot, and that's why I think
we need to be there for her.

She said she wanted
time to be by herself.

To smoke?

I know.

Look, she's cut way back
since therapy with Perenna.

I think she wants time
to be alone to be alone.

Well, alone is good
until it's not good.

Isolation feeds depression
and addiction.

I just think she needs
her family right now.

You and Dad always think
you know what's best for us.

But what if it's not true?

What if, every once in a while,
we know what's best for us?

Anissa! Oh, my God.

Get off me!

Baby! Get off me!

No!

Anissa!

Oh, my God. Don't move.

I'm okay.

- I just got the wind knocked out of me.
- You're bleeding.

I'm okay.
I'm fine. I told you.

Okay.

Stay there.

- Jeff?
- Hey.

So, we still stalling
or can we go back?

We've been attacked.

Wait. What?
Who? Where are you?

At the grocery store lot.

- They've gone, but Anissa's hurt.
- No, I'm not.

Okay, get off the streets.
Use the tunnels.

There should be an entrance
off the subway platform around the corner.

- Remember how to use it?
- I remember.

I'll meet you there.

♪♪ Last night I saw a superhero
He was black ♪♪

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

I know he really loved you.

I loved him, too.

Oh.

I'm sorry,
I have to get home, but...

if you need any help

planning the funeral,
please call me, okay?

Jennifer, truth is...

I can't afford to bury him.

Barely even an inch in.

You must have instinctively
held your breath

and gone dense, stopping it.

But I still took the impact,
which is what knocked the wind out of me.

I figured that out for myself.

I'm gonna put
some ointment on it.

The only way Odell
could have been there

is if he has Lynn
under surveillance.

Son of a bitch.

- That means that he knows that...
- Not necessarily.

My system's doing
a remote sweep

for listening devices
inside the house.

That probably means
he's tailing you everywhere you go.

Well, why would somebody
want to take Mom?

Sweetie, a lot of parents
have their kids in pods,

some of whom have died.

We have to think
about Tobias.

Because of Khalil?

Because every messed-up thing
that happens in Freeland

could have Tobias behind it.

It could be Odell.

What? Playing us?
So that she feels beholden?

Damn.

- I should light his ass up.
- That is not a good idea.

I think Lynn should
just go and talk with him.

- Uh-uh.
- She's valuable to him. His actions show that.

And you don't get to answer
for me, okay? I'm going.

- What about the driver who got away?
- Already on it.

I've tapped into the video feed
from the store parking lot.

All right. Well, let us know
when you find him.

Make it quick.

Why are you
having me followed?

Are you following my whole family?
My research team?

And here I thought
you were happy to be alive

and came here to thank me
for saving your life.

I do thank you.

How's your daughter?

She's fine.

They didn't shoot her. She fainted
so it looked like they did.

Fortunate.

Dr. Stewart, you have been
invaluable to the pod kids,

but you're still not being honest with me,
and I don't have time for it.

Kavanaugh.

Pods are all situated.
Subjects inside are still breathing.

How is the crew
that moved the pods?

Took a one-way trip
with Cutter.

Nobody else knows
about their location.

Excellent.

- What's wrong with you?
- I'm good. I'm good.

No, you're not.
Why's there a bandage here?

Because me and Mom got jumped,
and I got caught slipping.

They shot me and almost
kidnapped Mom.

Oh, my God!

Jen, I just... I just...
I don't understand how I let that happen.

Anything could've
happened to Mom.

It's not gonna happen again.
No way.

Anissa, we're lucky
she's still alive, okay?

I let Tobias kill Khalil.

Mm-mmm. That is not on you.

How you doing?

How am I doing?

I don't know how I can be
in so much pain and not bleed.

I don't know what it feels like
to lose Khalil, but...

I know about pain.

Know this, Jen.

Pain doesn't make you weak.
It makes you strong.

And loss,
loss makes you appreciate.

You know what I'm saying?

Maybe someday.

You'll see.

I don't know.

I went to see Khalil's mom.

She's just a big ball of pain.

She can't even afford to pay
for her own son's funeral.

I'm worried about Jen.

Yeah. Me, too.

She's grieving hard, Jeff.

I know.

She's craving vengeance
just as hard.

Yeah, I know the look.

- I know.
- She needs a distraction.

Gambi had me focused on history.
We need to find something for her.

Maybe she could go back to school.
She hates homeschooling.

No, no.
If her powers come out...

She controlled them well enough
to hide from us and Tobias.

Yeah, true, but...

surrounded by all those
teenage hormones, I don't know.

I think we should
talk to Perenna.

At least if she goes
back to high school,

it might give her more
of a chance to be normal.

What do you mean, "be normal"?

How the hell would I know?

I married you.

What did you just say?

Yes?

Dad, I'm ready
to take down Tobias.

Give me a suit if I need one.
I don't care.

Jen...

I have been going after Tobias
for a long, long time.

It is not easy, okay?
And it is very dangerous.

I don't care. He shouldn't be breathing,
and I know I can change that.

Baby, you don't know
what you're saying.

Yes, I do.

Jennifer, the power
to do amazing things

comes with the responsibility
to do the right thing.

Revenge is not
the right thing, justice is.

Ever heard of
an eye for an eye?

For a guy like Tobias,
revenge is justice.

I know how you feel.
Baby girl, believe me, I do.

But I also know that our powers supercharge
our emotions, and vice versa.

Khalil...

God rest his soul...

he let his emotions get away from him
and attacked his own school.

You don't want to make
a similar mistake.

And I know...

I know he wouldn't
want that for you.

Good evening.

We have a problem.

The Markovians
are in Freeland,

and they tried
to kidnap Dr. Stewart.

They want her
metahuman expertise.

- I drew the same conclusion.
- Do they know I'm here?

- Unknown at this time.
- Damn it.

We can protect you.

If? There's always an if.

Markovian intelligence is nothing
if not ruthless and committed.

Good bet is they want the pod kids
and they know where they are.

If you can safely
move the pod kids,

you will be protected
and relocated.

Well, as much as
I'd like to be out of here,

I'd hate to see what happened
if I disappointed you.

True, scientifically, I'm Beethoven,
but Dr. Stewart is Mozart,

and you'll need us both to keep
the pod kids alive if you move them.

You scared me.

Is there something
you want to say to me?

Look, you didn't
want me in the suit.

And now Anissa's in one.
Jen seems to be on her way.

So are you upset
with me about it?

We're not doing this
right now, Jefferson.

Come on. What?

We're not talking about this, okay?
It is what it is.

There's... There's nothing
to be gained by talking about it.

Fine.

Fine. I'm going back up.

Jeff...

I've made some choices
that I would take back.

But you're not one of them.

And when you're not being a good man,
you're a great man, and I love you.

I love you, too.

- Good night.
- Good night.

Kate said there's a new admit?

Wait. It's, uh...
It's not on the clipboard.

Nope. Room three.

Hi.

I'm here to
get you started, okay?

I'm Anissa Pierce.

I'm Monique.

Last name, Monique?

Just Monique.

Okay.

Okay.

I'm gonna check your eye.
Look straight ahead.

Now, I don't think
that cut will need stitches.

Do you have a headache?

No.

Blurry or double vision?

- No.
- Good. Good.

Now, how did this happen?

I don't know. I think
I just fell down the stairs.

Sweetie, these don't look like
fall-down-the-stairs injuries.

It's all right.
You can talk to me.

I told you, I don't know.

Maybe I just blacked out
or something.

"Or something"?

Now, are you sure you don't want
to tell me who did this to you?

- So I can get you some help?
- I never said anyone did anything.

All right.

A doctor will be right in.

We don't log her in.

Why not?

She lives with
this guy Rayvon.

He's a capo
in The One Hundred gang.

We all look the other way,

we all get to live.

It sucks but what can we do?

Metahuman target sighted.

Hey.

Thank you, boo. Thank you.

You're good. You can go.

- Hey.
- Hey.

What's up?

- Hi!
- Hey. How are you doing?

- Hey.
- Hey, man. Good to see you.

- good to see you!
- You too. Hello!

Good to see y'all.

Oh, I'm so happy
I gave you a key.

You still want to get some lunch,
or you too tired?

Yes, I am not sleeping
through my day off.

Where...
Where'd you get this from?

Um, the store I work in?

Wait. So they have
Black Lightning comics?

Yes. Thunder, too.

What?

Nothing. It's just, um...
No, it's just cool.

All right, give me one second
and I'm ready.

Okay.

What?

All right, yo, listen up.
That's your cut.

- Get him!
- Get him, man!

I heard of you.

Yeah, the streets
call you the Black Bird.

You know I can't just
let you take this money.

I didn't come here
for the money.

But thank you.

- Rayvon.
- Get back, sis.

Now, I heard you like
putting your hands on women.

Come on, put 'em on me.

Let me give you some advice.

Don't make me come back here.

Hey. No, don't take this down.

Stop. Don't take
this down. Please.

Principal says
take it down.

- Anissa.
- Hmm?

Anissa?

Tough night.

The kind where you have so much healing
to do that you pass out?

Oh, I'm an idiot.

I'm doing all the things...

All the things Dad said
would get me killed.

You wanna do good.
I get it.

But you have to think of how much bad
you'd do to your family

if you lost your life.

Yeah. I am.

And what a waste it would be
if you lost that life

before you had a chance
to really build it.

- I'm so sorry.
- Thank you.

- We're with you.
- Condolences, Jen. For real.

Let's go. Excuse me. Excuse me.
Excuse me. Excuse me.

What's this doing here?

It's a memorial for a student
from here who died tragically.

I know what it is. It's inappropriate
student decoration.

And you can review your student handbook
after you take it down.

You can hide behind the handbook
and all your rules,

but the fact of the matter is
you just don't like him.

Or any of us, do you?

This isn't a debate, young lady.
Okay, let's go, everybody.

- Back to class. Come on.
- The hell it ain't.

Because whether you like it or not,
black lives matter.

Khalil's life mattered.

You're out of line.

- You're a racist.
- Yeah.

Okay, isn't that convenient.

When you want
to win an argument, yell "racist."

Yet, this is a monument to a gang member
who attacked the school.

Now, you take this down
right now,

or I'm gonna have you removed
and it destroyed.

You can't remove him from us.

You can't make us
not remember him.

Every single person standing here
is just one bad break away

from becoming somebody
they never meant to be.

This is your last chance.

Can anyone here say
that if they were crippled

and you had the opportunity to walk again,
you wouldn't take it?

We're all in pods.
You know that, right?

Just like the kids
on the news, right?

Trapped by a system
that doesn't give a damn about us,

run by people like you.

Yeah!

Take her.

All right, come on.

Clear a path. Let's go.

No, it's okay.
Stay strong, everyone.

No, no, no, no, no.
No kneeling in, now.

And let's put
the cell phones away.

Put the phones away.

You know this is
an illegal assembly, right?

You are in violation
of your student handbook.

Will you tell them to get off
their butts and back to class?

Sounds like
the principal's job.

Are you kidding me
with this crazy bitch?

Why the hell would you let somebody
that disturbed out of prison again?

- Well, hello to you, too.
- I'll make sure she behaves this time.

We don't need her.

In a few months,
the pod kids will be at 100%.

If you were able to continue
the present course.

And I'm afraid we can't.
The pods need to be moved,

and Dr. Jace's sims are needed again
to stabilize the subjects for that move.

And, of course,
your expertise is required as well.

I told him that because it's true.
You can thank me later.

So you're moving them
whether I help you or not.

Affirmative.

You...

I didn't believe
you were real.

It's for Khalil's funeral.

You play any games with that money,
and I'll be back.

Here.

- Where's Anissa?
- I don't know. But this couldn't wait.

The driver on Lynn's
kidnapping attempt...

Yuri Bakonov.

He's a member of the Markovian
Intelligence Service.

That's in Eastern Europe,
right? It's been in the news.

Well, because they're
especially ambitious and brutal.

Okay, so why would Markovia
want to kidnap Lynn?

You can ask him yourself.

I traced him to a storefront leased
to the Markovian government.

Satellites show only five
guards, lightly armed.

Then, he's mine.

Kill him!

Uh, excuse me for a minute.

Yeah?

Hey, I got something for you.

Well, actually, someone.

We're talking attempted murder
and kidnapping.

Just had the first
of his three surgeries.

When he gets home,
Monique won't be there.

I had a follow-up with her
on your day off.

She's moved out.

She's getting counseling,
making herself a new life.

Wow.

Nice.

Everything seems
to be in order.

You called security
on my daughter.

Give this to Jamie
in accounting.

Did you come here to hit me?

- All you had to do was come get me.
- She was being disruptive.

To make matters worse,

she called me a racist in front
of a hallway full of students.

I had to take steps,
and I may have to take more.

Suspending her will not make
the point that you want to make.

Now, Jennifer
is just questioning

whether you have
the perspective

and the sensitivity
for this community.

- So are a lot of kids and teachers.
- All right.

You know what? Let's just be honest
with each other right now.

Okay, you assume that because I'm white,
I had a better life than you.

And that is the most
racist idea out there.

No, no, no.
Your father was a respected journalist.

Mine was a heroin addict,

and my mother OD'd
while my father watched.

But you get a benefit of the doubt that even
a rich black man will not get.

That's what these kids
are facing.

You know what? I don't
feel sorry for these kids.

I don't. I really don't, because I had
to sleep in the streets and eat dog food.

Dog food. Yet nobody feels bad for me.
Why? Because I'm a white guy.

And the white guy in America today
can go to hell, and nobody gives a damn.

Good talk.

Okay, next time
I pick the movie.

- What? You didn't like it?
- It was so violent.

- I love watching a woman kick ass.
- How about nobody kicks ass?

Oh, my God. Look.

- Hey, you mind if I rope?
- Go ahead.

Whoo!

Wow!

- I'm sorry.
- You hear me complaining?

I admire your ability to be
so spontaneous and just, you know,

plain thirsty about life.

Ah. Well, clearly
you're a deep person.

Can't wait to get to know you better.

Wait. You're the one who's always
running off without an explanation.

And I never press.
I always respect your privacy.

Okay. Hold on.
Maybe that came off wrong.

The last thing I want to do is fight
with you right now, okay?

Hey. Your eyes,
they change color?

Huh? What?

- You okay?
- Yeah. I'm fine.

No, they're the same.
For a second, I thought they were lighter.

Yeah, I guess it was the light.

Hmm. Hey...

I've been thinking
a lot about us.

And I want you
to meet my family.

Can you come to dinner?

No. No, sorry,
I can't make it.

Babe, I haven't
even said when.

Anissa, when I am with you,
I can't control myself.

I know, and it is amazing.

No, you don't understand.

Then, explain it to me.
I'm here. I'm listening.

I have to go.

Did I say something wrong?

Grace! What did I do?

There are tactical teams
jumping folks in Freeland.

Anything about that
on the briefcase?

Not so far. But I do got
something to show you.

So, according to
the briefcase,

this correlates in time with a metahuman
research program held at...

Leavenworth. Then the ASA took
their successful subjects.

Yeah. Well, those subjects were
blacked-out operatives for a time,

- but they committed atrocities.
- Which never came out.

They couldn't have had
a vaccine scandal and war crimes.

Fingerprints
are a match.

Those Leavenworth subjects
turned covert assets?

They're the exact same people

inside those pods we took
out of that clinic basement.

Perfect.

Good work.

Yeah.

Are you sure about this?

I mean, before they were metas,
these were convicted murderers.

Homicidal psychopaths.
They're the worst of the worst.

How soon before you
get these cans open?

Actually, I have no idea.

Excuse me?

Boss,
this tech is ancient.

I mean, literally
nuts and bolts.

Thing belongs in a museum.
I have no idea what to do with it.

I know who does.
Abort the order to cancel Dr. Jace.

We're gonna have to make her
a more permanent guest.

I'm gonna make him pay, Khalil.
I promise you that.

I'm gonna put
Tobias Whale in the ground.

Just like you are.
