Previously
onBlack Lightning...

The Markovians
are on the outskirts
of Freeland,

and they're marshalling
their forces.

The Markovians
want to capture or kill
as many metas as possible.

What do you want me to do?

Your target is
the data farm up ahead.

-I found it.
-Now take it out.

The One Hundred,

the warrior class of Freeland,

and y'all out here
fighting over crumbs?

Patient 49 is here
for his blood test.

Thank you, Nurse Allen.

You need my antibodies
to stabilize the metas,
don't you?

If the metas aren't stabilized,
then the ASA can't
weaponize them.

I'm your golden goose.

Come on, quickly.
Get in.

-No! My bag!
-Leave it, leave it.

-Gambi, I need my bag!
-There's no time.

It's time to figure out
who hired Gambi's killer.

While you can die,

you can always be
brought back to life again.

I'm not working
with you anymore.

You don't have a choice.

Wrong answer.

That's a hologram.

This isn't over, young lady.

First Sergeant Gardner Grayle,
currently attached to the ASA.

From a small town in Kentucky,
just outside Louisville.

I was so excited
when the ASA first recruited me
from the 75th Ranger Regiment.

This was my chance
to serve my country
at the highest level.

At least,
that's what they told me.

And hell, I don't know
what to believe anymore,

but one thing's for certain.

Killing innocent kids
is not what I signed up for.

I took an oath
to defend our Constitution.

If anything happens to me,

here's what you need to know.

Under direct orders
from Agent Odell...

Dad.

I came as fast as I could.
You okay?

Yeah, I'm good. I'm good.

Oh, that's Brandon.

-The ASA tried to kidnap us.
-Hey.

What?

Look, I know Odell
was behind it,

so I called him
and when he showed up,
I tried to blast him.

But it was just a hologram.

You called him how?

One second.

All right. So...

You already know
Odell gave me a suit,

but there's way more to it
than that.

Okay.

All right, don't be mad...

but Odell gave me
a cell phone to call him

when you and Mom
were in the Pit.

Yeah, okay.

I know I should've told you,
but he was showing me
all sorts of bad stuff

about Markovia.

And he was also telling me
that you were wrong,

and you'd never agree to it.
So...

So, I've been helping him
fight the Markovians.

Wait. What do you mean,
"helping him"?

Helping him how?

I mean, I've been going
on missions for Odell.

What kind of missions?

Well, I lit up the dudes
that beat you down.

You gotta admit
they had that coming.

And?

Um...

I kind of located
a Markovian data center,

where they were doing
cyber warfare.

I blew it up.

You did what?

Jen, you could have
killed somebody.

I think I did.

Oh, no, baby girl.

Look, I saw
in that other reality,

how the road I was on

was just leading me to a person
that I never wanna be.

I know that, Dad.
I got played.

But you and Mom
never let me use my powers.

So, you feel like
this is our fault?

No.

I don't.

But they're growing every day,
and it's painful.

I love you and Mom,

but you made me feel
like some sort of freak

that had to be locked up
all the time.

And Odell,

he made me feel special.

I know this sounds crazy,

but he set me free in ways
I never could've imagined, Dad.

He took me to space.

I've been to...

I've been to space.

Jen...

I love you.

Everything your mother and I
do for you

is because we love you.

I know.

I'm really sorry.

Trust me, I learned my lesson.

But despite
how you may feel about it,

Odell needs to die.

He needs to be dealt with.

That doesn't mean killing him.

I'll come back and get you
when I figure out
how to get to him.

All right.

So, Brendan...

Uh, actually, it's Brandon.

Yeah, whatever.

Stay away from my daughter.
Understand?

Dad, I told you,
we're just friends.

Your mother and I
were just friends, too.

Brandon.

You know what a eunuch is?

Yes, sir.

Keep that in mind.

Now, that's a scary dude.

Oh, you don't know
the half of it.

Mmm...

Oh, my God,
I've missed you so much.

-Then take me back with you.

What about your shifting?

It's under control now.

The party healers
are fantastic.

Plus, seeing you with your dad
made me realize...

my problem
is with abandonment.

And that's why my emotions
would flare up

and I couldn't control
my shifting.

But now...

I know I'm not alone anymore.

You found my cure.

It's my connection to you.

I'm sorry.

My dad has been
blowing me up.
I gotta go.

Wegotta go.

Are you okay?
You look terrible.

Thank you, Peter.

No, I didn't mean it like that.

I mean, you look a little sick.

It's just, uh, a flu.

Why are you here?

I need a dose
of the metastablization cure.

You know I only have
a limited number
of vials left--

And you can't make more
without Tobias. Yes, I know.

I also know that you do
what you do because those kids
in the Pit...

are counting on you
to keep them alive.

I have someone counting on me
to do the same now.

What do you mean?

One of the original meta-kids,

he's in the Sanctum.

A 30-year pod kid?

-Are you sure?
-I'm sure.

Because I'm the one
who put him there.

I thought
I was doing the right thing.

Keeping the world
safe for liberty,

you know, the whole thing,
but the reality was,

I was pointing out children
for abduction.

And when
the meta-human experiment
started killing them...

It was why I quit.

I did everything I could
to protect Jefferson.

Raised him
as if he was my own son.

But I know it doesn't make up
for all the lives I took,

from so many kids.

And I'm asking you,
Lynn, just please...

help me give one back.

How could I refuse.

I need something
from you first.

Name it.

You have remote access
to the AC system
in the Sanctum.

I need it to check
on the kids in the Pit.

You don't wanna
get caught with--

I'm not asking this lightly.
I know the risks.

All right.

Thank you.

Do you love travel, Major?

Is that why you joined the ASA?

Because I don't.

I'd rather be home.

A place specifically
designed by me...

for me.

But I can't be home,

because if I dare
go back to Gotham,

everything goes to hell.

We've had a few setbacks, sir.

-It's nothing that we can't--
-"Setbacks"?

You lost a quarter
of the city to the Resistance.

The Resistance took down
our detainment facility.

And you failed with
Jennifer Pierce so badly

that she likely
turned against us.

"Setbacks."

These are not setbacks.
They're disasters.

Might I suggest
a new plan of action, sir?

By all means.

Chip and stabilize the metas
we have here in the Pit.

Do we still have supplies
of the stabilization cure?

Negative.

But Dr. Blair's standing by
to make more.

All we need is more bone marrow
from Tobias Whale.

Request permission to move him
to the medical ward.

Chip and stabilize the metas,
rinse and repeat.

Your plan...

is approved.

Sergeant Grayle.

Thanks for coming.

Come in.

No problem.

Are you okay?

I'm fine.

I don't know
how you messaged me
through the ASA system

and I don't wanna know.

I saw you
in the security footage
picking up the bag.

You didn't log it in.

Because I needed to decide
whether to find you
and return it.

Or you knew
you were being watched
and you were trying to play me.

With all due respect,

I don't play when
it comes to innocent lives.

-Now, you have every right
not to trust me--
-Exactly.

Thank you.

Everything is there.

But I was tempted
to go through and see

if there were any
stabilization cures in there.

Dr. Blair attempted
to recreate it

and killed three kids
in the process.

Oh, my God.

I have to stop them.

Security in the Pit
is beyond cutting-edge.

There is no way in hell
to extract those kids.

Yeah, but they need Tobias
for the cure.

I'll get him out.

Dr. Stewart, Tobias Whale--

Is extremely dangerous.
Yes, I know.

Listen, you could be
prosecuted for treason.

I'll conceal your involvement.

Don't worry about me.

Sounds like you have a plan.

I do.

I'm with you.

Excellent.

Would you excuse me
for a moment?

♪ Last night
I saw a superhero
He was black ♪

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

That's a lot of boxes.

You ain't had no trouble
with the ASA?

Yo, man, after everything
they did to me
while I was in there...

Every chance I get
to pop an ASA joke,
I'm taking it.

That's what's up.

But be careful mixing personal
with business, Devonte.

That's the fastest way
you end up
getting caught slipping.

I'm born and bred in Freeland.

And these streets...

These streets are my heart,
and so are the people.

That's personal.

But you wanna know why
I sell guns to the Resistance
double the price?

-Business.
-That's right.

You've been moving up
since you got out
of the ASA jail.

I need you to stay focused.

I'm focused.

I even found a hacker
for that briefcase
just like you asked.

Yeah, I need you
to hit pause on that,

until we know for sure that
Tobias is still in Freeland.

'Cause ain't nobody seen
his albino ass.

We got other business
to handle.

Streets have been talking.

Somebody else set up shop
on the East Side.

Making bank...

and they ain't offered me
a penny for protection.

They ain't paid their tithes.

I need you to find out
what's what.

I got you.

That's what's up.

-My entire body hurts.

I've got just what you need.

It's not gonna hurt.

That feels weird.

Better?

Better.

Why are you doing
all of this for me?

Most white people
would've seen me and...

had a problem,
and called the ASA.

We all need someone sometime.

Nobody gets through
this life alone.

Right now, I'm just a guy
who could help you.

Besides...

you remind me of someone.

Now, why don't you lay back
and get some rest?

Gambi?

Jeff, what is it?

Odell...

manipulated my baby girl
to commit murder.

Now, you know
once you kill someone
you're never the same again.

That's exactly what he wanted.

Come on, Jeff,
take a breath.

Who's that?

Well, this very special
young man is TC.

Jefferson.

TC.

Excuse me. Can I talk to you?

If this meta-booster works,

I can temporarily
augment normal cells

to transfer to a particular
meta-human profile.

That's unbelievable.

-Everybody can have powers.
-Temporarily.

If it works, I can use it
to sneak Tobias out.

-But I have to test it on
myself first to be certain.
-No.

You're too important.

What if something goes wrong?

I'll do it.

Sergeant, we're talking
about cell disruption,
it could be fatal.

I'm in the ASA.

We take fatal risks every day.

Let's do it.

How can you
not like puzzles?

I'm just saying.

Even as a kid,
puzzles completely puzzled me.

Ha-ha. Funny pun.

You don't know
what you're missing.
They are very relaxing.

Anissa, my queen.
Your father is here.

-"My queen"?
-Yeah. Well,

at least Shonda is intelligent
and she laughs at my jokes.

You see your dad.
I'll give you some space.

All right, cool.
Dinner will be ready
in about 15 minutes.

Okay.

-Shonda...
-Yes, Anissa?

-Let him in.

-What's wrong?
-The ASA.

We're going after Odell.

Okay.

I'm not dead yet.

I'm starting to feel something.

Good news.

Your vitals never wavered
from normal,

and your genetic profile
is back to normal.

The meta-booster effect
lasted roughly one hour.

It should be enough.

Tobias is being moved
to the med ward tomorrow
to collect bone marrow.

It should be
much less guarded
than the detention wing.

But I'm afraid
we'll still be skating uphill.

I don't need you to go in.

I have a cloaking device.
But since it's key to my DNA,

I'm gonna have to boost Tobias
with the chameleon ability
to get him out.

I'll be there for exfil.

Let's go.

You know what,
I'm not waiting around anymore.

Then I'm coming with you.

No, Brandon. Look,
this is not your fight, okay?

-I'm not trying to involve you.
-It's a little too late
for that, don't you think?

Besides, we're both freaks,
remember?

So we're in this together.

You helped me find Jace,
now let me help you.

Fine.

But there's some stuff
you might find out
about me on the way

that you're gonna have to
keep on the hush.

You're in play, the package
just left the warehouse.

Sending you an intercept...

...now.

You're up.

You're still
a little shaky, son.
Maybe, go back to bed.

I have to show you...

I unraveled that
that Bitcoin chain.

This is who had you killed.

You know her?

Did.

She's a former ASA agent
who went into business
for herself.

Drug trafficking,
money laundering...

murder.

She funded
an offshore account

and paid for the hit
through the dark web.

See?

Took her shooters
a year to find me
and make their move.

Well, she's not one
to worry about now.

What do you mean?

What's to say
she doesn't hire someone else?

She's dead.

Excuse me.

Okay.

Coordinates as follows.

It's them.
Get ready.

Don't stop.
Keep going. Go, go, go!

Don't move!

Got your ass.

He's awake.

You're making a mistake...

of immense proportions.

Yeah, well,
you already made one.

You reneged on our deal,
went behind my back

and made my baby girl a killer.
You think I'll let that stand?

What you're doing right now
is gonna get you locked up
for the rest of your lives.

Agent Esposito.

-You're not dead.
-No. And I have questions.

I have nothing to say.

Everybody talks,

eventually.

Since you taught me
everything I know...

you know this is gonna hurt.

You're bluffing.

You don't kill,
you won't torture either.

No, he won't.

But I will.

I'm gonna take off
your shoes and socks.

And I'm gonna hammer
a nail into your foot.

And I'm gonna keep going
until you tell me everything
I need to know.

I play golf.

With the President.

Yeah, well,
the next time you do it,
you'll be doing it with a limp.

I warned you not to make
an enemy of me.

You have to kill me
after this is over.
You know that, right?

-Okay.
-You're not okay with this.

-You're a hero.
-I've never claimed to be.

But you try to do
the right thing.

There's good
in the worst of us,

and evil...

in the best of us.

When we know this,

we're less able to hate...

our enemies.

Did this coward just quote
Dr. King to get off the hook?

I'm not a coward.

I knew the man.

At least,
I think you'd appreciate
what I'm saying.

Mmm-hmm.
Here's what I'm saying.

I told you not to mess
with my family. You did.

So your ass is mine. Hit him.

The Lord is my Shepherd.

Yea, though I walk
through the valley

of the shadow of death--

Really, now you're full
of prayer? The 23rd Psalm,
after all the evil you've done.

-"Evil"? I'm a patriot.

A patriot.

Do your worst.

That should do it.

You got it?

Mmm-hmm.

You tricked me.

Yeah, how about that?

He's out. Jeff?

Don't lose yourself
just to get him.

Heads up.

Black Lightning and Thunder
have kidnapped the director.

Could you track
Black Lightning again?

-Affirmative.

I've got his energy signature
in my goggles now.

I just need to go to
where he acquired the boss,
and play bloodhound.

I'm rescinding the immunity
for the Pierce family.

We're going to find Agent Odell
and kill the Pierces.

Each and every one.

Hey,
what is this place?

It's where
my uncle works.

Who's your uncle?

James Bond?

Man!

Don't touch anything.

Yeah... of course.

Damn.

This place is dope.

Hey.

That's Black Lightning.

And that's Thunder.

You're Lightning?

Wait. And he's...

-Wait, he's...
-He's my father, yes.

And Thunder's my sister.
Now, come on.

Whoa! Hey. Wait, wait. Hold on.

Brandon.

Hey, isn't that the guy
who was the hologram
you blasted?

Odell.

Damn it, Dad.

Hey, so, do I get a suit?

No. Look, the only reason
why I brought you here
and I'm showing you any of this

is because those stupid
ASA commandos
are after the both of us.

So we need to stick together.

Besides, you don't have
a name yet, so...

Damn. Right...

What would my name be?

"Quakeboy."

"Earth Force"?

-"Geo."
-Look, I don't know.
Just stay here, okay?

There's a fridge in the back
with snacks and drinks.

Nobody should bother you.
Just don't touch anything.

I'm Destiny.

Welcome to the Ultimate O.

Right this way.

We believe
in equal opportunity,

here at the Ultimate O.

You have your choice of male...

female...

or both.

So what will it be?

What you think?

Now...

So, as far as price--

I'll let you know
when we're done.

You.

You.

Y'all go ahead,
get started without me.
I'll be right back.

Damn!

Yeah. There you go.

If they like
their feet tickled,

Then make sure
someone tickles their feet.

...feet tickled, then make sure someone tickles their feet.

You ought to get some serious
paper up in there, boss.

I'm talking about
the whole place was packed.

Yeah.

There was a lady in there.

I don't know who she is,
but she seemed important.

Yeah, that's her right there.

...tickled, then make sure
someone tickles...

That's Lady Eve.

The last time I saw her ass,
she was floating in a vat.

She's been brought back
from the dead.

Let's pack these guns up.

For sure.

Okay.

The entrance
you need to use
will have guards here,

and here.

Once inside, you'll be
20 meters from the medical wing
where they have Tobias.

Okay.

So how much longer?

Here we go. It's rendering.

By the time it's finished,

we use the biometrics
and keywords we've collected
to simulate Odell.

Then we go into the ASA system

to take down the perimeter
and withdraw from Freeland.

By the time
they realize it's not him,

we'll have taken back the city.

All right.

This is Agent Odell.
I am ordering all officers
to withdraw from Freeland.

Damn, that's freaky.

If you don't like this one,
you can kiss my ass.

I guess I missed my call
that you found him, huh?

-Jen, slow down.
-You lied to me.

This is better for everybody.
Trust me.

-I'm done trusting you.

We're under attack.

Look, take care of the data.
We got this.

Get down, get down!

Khalil?

And here I thought
it was gonna be
another boring day.

We're leaving.

I'm afraid you didn't
think this through,
Dr. Stewart.

How am I supposed to just
walk right out the front door?

You'll have Maryam's
chameleon powers.

So, yes,
to answer your question,

we're gonna walk
right through
the side entrance.

Hmm.

Looks like Christmas
came early this year.

I'll admit,

you're a lot smarter
than I gave you credit for.

You can't run.

We have to stick together.

Run?

Now, why would I do that?

I have Black Lightning's wife.

I'm not running anywhere.

You thought I was your
golden goose, Dr. Stewart,
but in reality...

you're mine.

Dad, don't let him touch you.

No!

- Jen, stop.
- Khalil.

-Khalil, are you okay?
-Jen, let us go.

Guys, what's going on?
Why y'all trying to hurt him?

-Because he's not Khalil!
-No, he's a murderer.

Khalil,
talk to me, please.

Get Agent Odell out of here.

Yeah.

I'll deal with the Pierces.

You need to stop them!

Sir.

Watch it.

This way.

Jennifer Pierce,

you are a pain in the ass.

You need to let us go.

Khalil, stop.

Just stop.

It's okay. I got you.

I got you.

He's still alive.

Damn.

Not bad.

Welcome to the Ultimate O.

Men, women or both?

Lady Eve.

We don't have anyone
here by that name.

Yes, you do.

Now, take me to her.

I think it's best you leave.

Ain't nobody ask you
what you think.

Do y'all know who this is?

Big man...

take the night off.

Let's go.

All right.

In the next two seconds,

you're gonna have
Lady Eve's location
on your lips,

or a bullet in your head.

Follow me, please.

Excuse me.

Well, well, well.

Thought I saw you
when I was in resurrection...

but I assumed I was dreaming.

Now you're back on top
in Freeland.

I like this little hustle that
you got going on here.

Let me guess, you want a piece?

Nah.

I'm taking the whole thing.

As of right now,
you work for me.

Ain't gonna happen.

I know where Lazarus'
creepy ass is staying.

If I smoke both of y'all,
there ain't no coming back
for you.

Be careful writing checks
with your mouth
that your ass can't cash.

Honey...

you'd be surprised
of what this ass can do.

Now, I'd appreciate it
if you'd leave,

and take the 40 hitters
you got waiting outside
with you.

In consideration

of what you have done
in this community
for the past 20 years,

I'm gonna give you 48 hours
to get some sense
into your head.

That was disrespectful.

How do you wanna handle it?

We deal or we die.

For now.

Odell just left the perimeter.

He's probably heading back
to Gotham.

Oh, my God.

Hey, is that your ex in there?

Yeah.

He was actually gonna kill me.

That's because
he's not your ex.

The ASA rebuilt him.

They put a chip in his head
so they could control his mind.

They can do that?

You knew Khalil was alive
and you didn't tell me.

How could you keep
something like that from me?

Jen, so you can go after
somebody who looks like
they're your ex-boyfriend,

get heartbroken,
maybe even killed?

I'll never forgive you
for this.

Whoa, wait a minute,
let's calm down before we say
something we don't mean.

Your sister was only trying
to protect you.

Why does everyone think
I need their protection?

I don't, I'm not helpless.

If I had known,
maybe I could've
gotten through to him.

Jen.

It's not that simple.

So we're not even gonna try?

Hey.

Who's Jen?

That's me.

He loves you.

How do you know that?

He told me.

This way, follow me.

You said it was gonna
last more than an hour.

I don't know.

You have a uniquely altered
genotype, remember?

Are you trying
to set me up?

I'm not.

The surveillance cameras
in this section are disabled.

For now. Now, come on!

You know, I had
you all wrong, Dr. Stewart.

I thought you was
one of them saditty, bougie,
squeaky-clean sisters,

afraid to get her hands dirty.

But, you know,

it's refreshing to know

that Black Lightning's wife
is a bit more flexible.

Shut up and keep moving!

Where the hell is he?
He should be here by now.

Whoever you're waiting for,
probably got canceled.

The ASA is good
at stuff like that.

You know what, Dr. Stewart?

You're not that smart
after all.

Did you really think

I would give you powers
and not give myself any?

You black women.

Always so damn tricky.

You thick-lipped bastard!

Thanks, Erica.

I owe you one.

What happened?

I had to go to plan B.

Outstanding.

Help me load him into the back.
