1
00:00:01,293 --> 00:00:02,579
Previously on
Black Lightning...
2
00:00:02,794 --> 00:00:04,285
Thirty years ago,
I came to Freeland
3
00:00:04,505 --> 00:00:07,543
as an agent for a government
organization called the A S A.
4
00:00:07,758 --> 00:00:10,421
I helped them find
young people with abilities.
5
00:00:10,636 --> 00:00:13,504
But when I realized that the ASA's
vaccine was killing children,
6
00:00:13,764 --> 00:00:15,551
I leaked the information
to your father,
7
00:00:15,766 --> 00:00:17,849
and his investigation
got him killed.
8
00:00:18,060 --> 00:00:19,596
And they're doing it again.
9
00:00:20,187 --> 00:00:21,894
I saw o ne of your
students g e t snatched last night.
10
00:00:22,147 --> 00:00:23,763
Two men wearing black
11
00:00:23,982 --> 00:00:25,848
jumped out of this van
and they grabbed her.
12
00:00:26,193 --> 00:00:27,354
What's up?
13
00:00:29,488 --> 00:00:32,856
The head of the A S A for this area,
is looking for you.
14
00:00:33,075 --> 00:00:34,941
If you use your powers,
or you go out in the suit,
15
00:00:35,160 --> 00:00:37,573
he will find you,
and they will kill you.
16
00:00:37,788 --> 00:00:41,577
The guys we're going after,
they are beyond the law.
17
00:00:41,792 --> 00:00:46,162
When we take down their lab,
it's like declaring war.
18
00:00:46,380 --> 00:00:49,418
- Jefferson Pierce is Black Lightning.
- What?
19
00:00:49,633 --> 00:00:51,966
He's been hiding
in plain sight all this time.
20
00:00:52,177 --> 00:00:53,668
Right under your nose.
21
00:00:53,887 --> 00:00:55,719
Do you think
you can take him down?
22
00:00:56,598 --> 00:00:58,055
Yes.
23
00:01:10,779 --> 00:01:12,941
Are they all stable
after the move?
24
00:01:13,156 --> 00:01:15,648
One of the older ones
is showing abnormalities.
25
00:01:16,451 --> 00:01:18,943
Internal temperature fluctuations
are affecting vital signs.
26
00:01:19,162 --> 00:01:20,778
How are you going to fix it?
27
00:01:20,998 --> 00:01:23,706
I think it's a result
of moving on back-to-back days.
28
00:01:23,917 --> 00:01:25,954
But now that we're powered up
in this location,
29
00:01:26,169 --> 00:01:29,253
a consistent pod temperature should
return the subject to a stable reading.
30
00:01:53,113 --> 00:01:55,025
- Which way?
- Go left.
31
00:02:03,415 --> 00:02:06,704
I want the pods
monitored 24 hours a day.
32
00:02:07,919 --> 00:02:09,535
I'm already under my quota.
33
00:02:09,755 --> 00:02:12,498
Lose one more,
and I'll need to acquire more subjects.
34
00:02:12,966 --> 00:02:13,877
Yes, ma'am.
35
00:02:21,391 --> 00:02:22,552
I can't see through it.
36
00:02:22,768 --> 00:02:25,351
Or maybe there's still a problem
with the electric vision.
37
00:02:25,562 --> 00:02:26,427
The door's shielded.
38
00:02:26,647 --> 00:02:29,355
But I know what I saw on the feed
from that nuke tracker satellite.
39
00:02:29,566 --> 00:02:32,274
An abnormal energy field definitely
moved in there yesterday.
40
00:02:32,486 --> 00:02:33,772
Dad, I got this.
41
00:02:45,415 --> 00:02:46,781
Kids aren't here.
42
00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:49,617
Whoa! This is a whole lot
of those pulse things.
43
00:02:49,836 --> 00:02:51,247
Launchers.
44
00:02:51,463 --> 00:02:53,500
That's a lot of weapons
that can take you out.
45
00:02:53,715 --> 00:02:55,798
It must be what caused
the abnormal energy hit.
46
00:02:56,009 --> 00:02:58,968
Jeff, if they're stockpiling
anti-Black Lightning weapons...
47
00:02:59,179 --> 00:03:02,217
Doesn't matter.
Where's the next spot?
48
00:03:02,432 --> 00:03:04,719
- I don't have one.
- Why? Use the satellite.
49
00:03:04,935 --> 00:03:06,642
The ASA knows
about the satellite, too.
50
00:03:06,853 --> 00:03:07,764
They must have found a way
51
00:03:07,979 --> 00:03:10,562
to cloak the pods' energy
in transit.
52
00:03:10,774 --> 00:03:12,891
I have an idea, but it'll
take me a day to set it up.
53
00:03:13,360 --> 00:03:14,771
Come on back.
54
00:03:16,905 --> 00:03:17,986
Not yet.
55
00:03:33,839 --> 00:03:35,375
Yes, I'm just leaving.
56
00:03:36,466 --> 00:03:38,298
Most of them are stable.
57
00:03:38,510 --> 00:03:40,797
We're in danger
of losing one of them.
58
00:03:45,684 --> 00:03:47,767
An armory was blown up?
59
00:03:47,978 --> 00:03:50,516
No, I hadn't heard about that.
60
00:03:50,856 --> 00:03:53,098
They're clearly
looking for the pods.
61
00:03:54,109 --> 00:03:57,318
I understand the orders,
but, sir,
62
00:03:57,529 --> 00:03:59,111
I've known Jefferson
Pierce for years,
63
00:03:59,322 --> 00:04:02,360
there is absolutely no way
he's Black Lightning...
64
00:04:07,205 --> 00:04:08,446
I understand.
65
00:04:10,375 --> 00:04:13,118
Yes, sir. I'll take care of it.
66
00:04:21,219 --> 00:04:23,131
I'm sorry that didn't pan out.
I really thought...
67
00:04:23,346 --> 00:04:24,587
Yeah, I know.
68
00:04:26,266 --> 00:04:29,475
Look, even if they cloak the pods' energy,
I can still find it.
69
00:04:29,686 --> 00:04:32,053
I'll ping everything in the
city with a radio signal,
70
00:04:32,314 --> 00:04:33,896
and the energy signature
from the pods
71
00:04:34,149 --> 00:04:36,687
will light up
when the radio pulse hits them.
72
00:04:37,402 --> 00:04:38,768
Let me know
if you find something.
73
00:04:38,987 --> 00:04:40,103
I'm gonna
get out of this suit.
74
00:04:48,872 --> 00:04:49,988
God, look at you,
you look awful.
75
00:04:52,125 --> 00:04:53,241
Thanks for the compliment.
76
00:04:53,460 --> 00:04:55,326
No. That's a subperiosteal
hematoma.
77
00:04:55,712 --> 00:04:57,704
It's good to know that you're
paying attention in med school.
78
00:04:57,923 --> 00:04:59,755
No, this is serious.
Did you get it looked at?
79
00:04:59,966 --> 00:05:01,798
I've had enough
subperiosteal hematomas
80
00:05:02,010 --> 00:05:03,751
to know when I actually need
to get some help.
81
00:05:06,306 --> 00:05:07,763
What happened?
82
00:05:09,518 --> 00:05:10,850
The truth, please.
83
00:05:12,270 --> 00:05:13,477
Ask your dad.
84
00:05:16,191 --> 00:05:18,604
- I will.
- The ASA will be looking for us.
85
00:05:20,195 --> 00:05:21,652
All of us.
86
00:05:21,863 --> 00:05:25,027
Those weapons he blew up
are only good for one thing,
87
00:05:25,242 --> 00:05:26,699
killing Black Lightning.
88
00:05:26,910 --> 00:05:28,867
Make sure he makes
good choices, okay?
89
00:05:29,079 --> 00:05:30,615
How exactly
am I supposed to do that?
90
00:05:30,831 --> 00:05:31,992
Trust your instincts.
91
00:05:32,207 --> 00:05:33,869
Come on.
Make it plain, Uncle Gambi.
92
00:05:34,084 --> 00:05:38,044
Anissa, look at your father
and your father's father.
93
00:05:38,255 --> 00:05:40,042
Protecting people
is in your blood.
94
00:05:40,257 --> 00:05:43,546
There are certain things
no one can train you for.
95
00:05:43,760 --> 00:05:46,093
Everything you need
is already inside you.
96
00:05:49,933 --> 00:05:50,844
Thanks.
97
00:06:08,660 --> 00:06:13,155
It seems a little suspicious.
Are you sure it's not a setup?
98
00:06:13,373 --> 00:06:16,992
If this was a setup,
you'd already be dead.
99
00:06:17,210 --> 00:06:18,166
Who the hell are you?
100
00:06:18,420 --> 00:06:20,707
You'll find everything you need in
the garbage can in front of you.
101
00:06:22,257 --> 00:06:24,169
You're right, Glennon.
It stinks. Come on.
102
00:06:26,636 --> 00:06:31,051
Deputy Chief Cayman,
I said in the garbage can.
103
00:06:32,100 --> 00:06:33,056
Do it.
104
00:06:37,022 --> 00:06:38,263
Oh.
105
00:06:42,193 --> 00:06:46,563
This needs to be legitimate,
and fast. Tomorrow, if possible?
106
00:06:48,199 --> 00:06:52,034
Okay, speedy warrants? Got it.
Who's the target?
107
00:06:54,748 --> 00:06:55,909
Jefferson Pierce.
108
00:07:03,632 --> 00:07:06,249
So, Dad, what happened
to Uncle Gambi?
109
00:07:10,180 --> 00:07:13,719
He was tortured by his friends at
the ASA in order to get to me.
110
00:07:13,934 --> 00:07:17,098
Well, clearly, that didn't work
because you wouldn't be here.
111
00:07:18,229 --> 00:07:19,811
That is true.
112
00:07:20,023 --> 00:07:21,389
So you can trust him.
113
00:07:23,485 --> 00:07:24,316
Maybe.
114
00:07:25,654 --> 00:07:27,395
No. I'm not sure.
115
00:07:27,614 --> 00:07:28,730
Man, they did a good job.
116
00:07:28,949 --> 00:07:30,406
Yeah. It's what they do.
117
00:07:30,617 --> 00:07:32,734
I don't know. It's just weird right now,
being around you two.
118
00:07:32,994 --> 00:07:36,158
No, it is. It's like you're working together,
but not really.
119
00:07:36,373 --> 00:07:38,035
Yeah, I know.
It's weird for me, too.
120
00:07:38,917 --> 00:07:40,158
Mmm.
121
00:07:40,418 --> 00:07:43,957
So, he says the ASA
is gonna be looking to kill us.
122
00:07:45,173 --> 00:07:47,210
- They are.
- So then...
123
00:07:47,884 --> 00:07:50,547
I don't know,
shouldn't we all just get along?
124
00:07:52,514 --> 00:07:54,221
"Can we all just get along?"
125
00:07:54,724 --> 00:07:55,464
What?
126
00:07:55,684 --> 00:07:58,848
No. Rodney King asked,
"Can we all get along?"
127
00:07:59,062 --> 00:08:02,931
See, it's an existential question
rather than a directive.
128
00:08:03,149 --> 00:08:04,890
Okay. So can we?
129
00:08:08,029 --> 00:08:09,019
I don't know.
130
00:08:54,451 --> 00:08:55,737
Damn it!
131
00:09:01,916 --> 00:09:02,952
- Good morning.
- Good morning.
132
00:09:03,168 --> 00:09:04,033
- Good morning.
- Mr. Pierce.
133
00:09:04,252 --> 00:09:05,459
Hey, Lexton.
134
00:09:05,670 --> 00:09:08,413
Congratulations on the debate victory.
All right.
135
00:09:09,215 --> 00:09:10,672
You know what?
Tomorrow, I'm driving.
136
00:09:10,884 --> 00:09:12,796
Girl, that driver's license
is brand-new.
137
00:09:13,011 --> 00:09:14,877
And you are too hard on my nerves
for first thing in the morning.
138
00:09:15,096 --> 00:09:16,007
Shut up. I can drive.
139
00:09:16,222 --> 00:09:17,303
- Girl... Okay, we'll see.
- I'd get us here quicker.
140
00:09:17,515 --> 00:09:18,847
- I know that much.
- You try then.
141
00:09:19,059 --> 00:09:20,470
All right, people,
another day to make magic.
142
00:09:21,853 --> 00:09:23,936
Yes, it is.
143
00:09:24,147 --> 00:09:25,308
- Hey, Dad.
- Hey.
144
00:09:25,523 --> 00:09:26,434
Hey, Dad, what's up?
145
00:09:27,150 --> 00:09:28,857
- Keep an eye on your sister.
- Uh-huh.
146
00:09:29,069 --> 00:09:31,652
And make sure you touch base
with me between classes.
147
00:09:31,863 --> 00:09:33,729
All right. Got it.
Anything else?
148
00:09:34,449 --> 00:09:36,657
Remember, I love you.
149
00:09:36,868 --> 00:09:38,700
- I'll see you.
- All right.
150
00:09:39,120 --> 00:09:40,156
Come on, people,
let's not be late.
151
00:09:40,413 --> 00:09:41,324
What's up, Mr. Jefferson?
152
00:09:41,539 --> 00:09:43,030
How are you doing?
How are you doing?
153
00:09:43,249 --> 00:09:46,788
All these young smiling faces,
young minds to be molded.
154
00:09:47,545 --> 00:09:48,410
Come on in.
155
00:09:48,630 --> 00:09:50,747
Well, I'd like to give
a shout-out to the MTA
156
00:09:50,965 --> 00:09:52,501
for getting me here
on time today.
157
00:09:52,717 --> 00:09:55,300
Wait, wait.
No. No, no, no, that's fair.
158
00:09:55,512 --> 00:09:57,253
There are a lot of
hardworking men and women
159
00:09:57,472 --> 00:10:01,762
who keep a very overworked
system running as best they can.
160
00:10:01,976 --> 00:10:03,092
Yeah.
161
00:10:03,311 --> 00:10:04,472
I've got a shout-out.
162
00:10:04,687 --> 00:10:08,055
To Mr. Winston, who let me
retake the S panish mid-term.
163
00:10:09,109 --> 00:10:11,943
Bless up. Or bendiga.
164
00:10:14,280 --> 00:10:15,942
Tavon, you still with us?
165
00:10:16,157 --> 00:10:18,365
- Five-O.
- What?
166
00:10:35,635 --> 00:10:38,378
Blue Volvo wagon.
Double-time, guys. Come on.
167
00:10:40,515 --> 00:10:42,757
Damn, Mr. P. That's your car.
168
00:10:43,518 --> 00:10:44,850
Tavon, language.
169
00:10:45,061 --> 00:10:48,520
I mean, dang, Mr. P.
That's still your car.
170
00:10:48,731 --> 00:10:51,064
Homework out, everyone.
Let's...
171
00:10:54,112 --> 00:10:57,230
Let's focus,
and exchange homework.
172
00:10:58,491 --> 00:10:59,902
Girl, isn't that
your dad's car?
173
00:11:16,593 --> 00:11:18,550
Every crack, every crevice.
174
00:11:27,103 --> 00:11:27,809
Oh.
175
00:11:28,521 --> 00:11:30,183
Surprise, surprise.
176
00:11:34,152 --> 00:11:38,943
Deputy Chief Cayman, I would be happy
to follow you to the police station
177
00:11:39,157 --> 00:11:42,525
to straighten out whatever
misunderstanding there seems to be.
178
00:11:42,744 --> 00:11:44,076
We're almost done.
179
00:11:46,789 --> 00:11:49,156
Look, if you could tell me
what you're looking for...
180
00:11:49,959 --> 00:11:51,621
We found Green Light
in your car.
181
00:11:51,836 --> 00:11:54,249
Wait, what?
No. That's impossible.
182
00:11:54,589 --> 00:11:55,921
Oh!
183
00:11:57,884 --> 00:11:59,500
You got that Green Light, cuz?
184
00:11:59,719 --> 00:12:01,460
That is not mine.
185
00:12:01,679 --> 00:12:03,636
Mr. Pierce,
you're under arrest.
186
00:12:03,848 --> 00:12:05,464
Turn around, put your hands
behind your back.
187
00:12:05,683 --> 00:12:07,345
What? This is ridiculous.
188
00:12:07,560 --> 00:12:10,428
- Are you resisting?
- You can't come in here and just...
189
00:12:18,029 --> 00:12:19,736
I am not resisting.
190
00:12:20,657 --> 00:12:22,193
I am complying.
191
00:12:35,630 --> 00:12:36,495
Dad.
192
00:12:36,714 --> 00:12:38,922
No, honey,
it's a misunderstanding, honey.
193
00:12:39,133 --> 00:12:42,046
I just need to go with these
men and straighten it out.
194
00:12:42,262 --> 00:12:43,798
Everything will be fine.
195
00:12:46,099 --> 00:12:46,839
Jennifer...
196
00:12:48,184 --> 00:12:53,430
Jennifer, I need you to do
something very important for me.
197
00:12:54,941 --> 00:12:56,148
Jennifer.
198
00:12:57,735 --> 00:13:02,025
I need you to be calm,
really calm.
199
00:13:08,204 --> 00:13:10,196
Call your mother,
tell her what happened
200
00:13:10,415 --> 00:13:12,828
and be strong for your mother.
Can you do that for me?
201
00:13:17,964 --> 00:13:19,500
Let's go.
202
00:13:21,467 --> 00:13:23,459
Well, ya'll not just gonna
take Mr. Pierce.
203
00:13:23,678 --> 00:13:25,385
Look, son, this ain't no rap video.
S tep aside.
204
00:13:25,596 --> 00:13:27,132
Hey, look,
my daddy name is Lamont,
205
00:13:27,348 --> 00:13:29,214
and you damn sure
don't look like a Lamont.
206
00:13:29,434 --> 00:13:30,766
Tavon.
207
00:13:31,519 --> 00:13:34,978
No one wants to see another
black man in cuffs today.
208
00:13:36,190 --> 00:13:38,147
Well, you wanna help?
Keep doing what you're supposed to be doing
209
00:13:38,359 --> 00:13:39,816
and make sure all the other
students do the same.
210
00:13:40,028 --> 00:13:41,360
Can I count on you?
211
00:13:43,323 --> 00:13:45,189
I didn't hear you, Tavon.
212
00:13:46,284 --> 00:13:48,367
Yes, sir.
You can count on me.
213
00:14:02,717 --> 00:14:04,003
Whoa, whoa, whoa!
214
00:14:04,218 --> 00:14:05,083
- Stay back, miss.
- Who do you think you are?
215
00:14:05,303 --> 00:14:06,510
- You can't just take him...
- Stand back.
216
00:14:06,721 --> 00:14:08,053
- No. Anissa. Anissa...
- Dad...
217
00:14:08,264 --> 00:14:12,599
No! Get back in the school,
take care of everyone.
218
00:14:16,189 --> 00:14:17,350
Anissa.
219
00:14:19,859 --> 00:14:21,191
Don't touch me.
220
00:15:14,539 --> 00:15:15,780
What the hell
do you think you're doing?
221
00:15:15,998 --> 00:15:18,160
My job.
Yours, too, apparently.
222
00:15:18,376 --> 00:15:19,537
Get him processed
and put him in four.
223
00:15:23,923 --> 00:15:25,789
I wanna see
the search warrant.
224
00:15:53,703 --> 00:15:56,446
Jefferson Pierce is one of the most
distinguished members of this community.
225
00:15:56,664 --> 00:15:58,280
Was. Then we discovered
he's a drug dealer
226
00:15:58,499 --> 00:15:59,660
operating out of a school.
227
00:15:59,876 --> 00:16:01,993
I have to give him credit.
Smart way to corner the market.
228
00:16:02,211 --> 00:16:03,793
You don't believe that
your damn self.
229
00:16:04,005 --> 00:16:06,668
Tread lightly, Inspector.
Don't be blinded by personal feelings.
230
00:16:06,883 --> 00:16:08,215
My eyes are wide open.
231
00:16:08,426 --> 00:16:11,214
Good. I'd hate to see
anything happen to you.
232
00:16:15,558 --> 00:16:18,517
You gotta bring ass
to get ass.
233
00:16:20,104 --> 00:16:21,720
Don't forget that.
234
00:16:38,289 --> 00:16:42,033
Thank you, s tudents, for
returning t o your lessons and activities.
235
00:16:42,251 --> 00:16:45,415
The school day
will continue as usual.
236
00:16:45,796 --> 00:16:48,914
I am actively seeking
an update on Principal Pierce
237
00:16:49,133 --> 00:16:54,094
and will keep staff and students
informed as soon as we learn more.
238
00:16:54,305 --> 00:16:55,637
Until then,
239
00:16:56,057 --> 00:16:58,925
please, let's get
through this day in a way
240
00:16:59,143 --> 00:17:02,477
that will make
Principal Pierce proud.
241
00:17:03,272 --> 00:17:07,312
Remember, you are the future.
242
00:18:22,184 --> 00:18:24,050
Yeah, okay. Okay!
243
00:18:33,154 --> 00:18:36,738
I'm surrounded by cops.
Is this really necessary?
244
00:18:50,504 --> 00:18:51,870
Open your mouth.
245
00:18:55,092 --> 00:18:56,048
Lift your tongue.
246
00:18:59,722 --> 00:19:01,338
Drop your clothes.
247
00:19:28,709 --> 00:19:30,075
Assume the position.
248
00:19:36,926 --> 00:19:38,542
Now cough twice.
249
00:20:01,075 --> 00:20:04,534
Local principal Jefferson Pierce
was arrested today at Garfield High.
250
00:20:04,995 --> 00:20:07,487
Sources confirmed large amounts
of controlled substances
251
00:20:07,707 --> 00:20:08,948
were confiscated
from his vehicle.
252
00:20:09,250 --> 00:20:10,832
I need to see
Jefferson Pierce.
253
00:20:11,961 --> 00:20:12,951
And you are?
254
00:20:13,337 --> 00:20:14,669
His wife.
255
00:20:15,756 --> 00:20:16,712
ID.
256
00:20:20,928 --> 00:20:24,046
His ex-wife, actually.
257
00:20:24,265 --> 00:20:25,801
Then I can't help you, ma'am.
258
00:20:27,601 --> 00:20:30,139
Can I speak to Inspector
Henderson, please?
259
00:20:32,148 --> 00:20:33,104
Lynn...
260
00:20:41,699 --> 00:20:45,568
Bill, you know Jeff.
You know he would never ever do anything...
261
00:20:45,786 --> 00:20:47,027
Of course I know, Lynn.
262
00:20:47,246 --> 00:20:49,408
But now is not the time
and this is not the place.
263
00:20:49,623 --> 00:20:52,161
Well... he can't be here
right now. He can't.
264
00:20:52,376 --> 00:20:54,288
Something so bad could happen.
265
00:20:55,379 --> 00:20:57,712
- Where's...
- Lynn, look at me.
266
00:20:58,257 --> 00:20:59,793
Do you trust me?
267
00:21:00,426 --> 00:21:01,382
No.
268
00:21:03,679 --> 00:21:05,887
But I know Jefferson does.
269
00:21:06,432 --> 00:21:09,015
And I have to go set the record for
speed-interviewing defense lawyers,
270
00:21:09,226 --> 00:21:11,183
so I'll talk to you later.
271
00:21:39,423 --> 00:21:41,289
So you know.
272
00:21:41,509 --> 00:21:43,375
We knew the ASA was coming for us.
I didn't expect this, though.
273
00:21:43,594 --> 00:21:44,880
Okay. I'm suiting up
and I'm going in.
274
00:21:45,095 --> 00:21:46,176
No, you're not.
275
00:21:46,388 --> 00:21:48,755
Yeah, I am.
You can help me or not, but I'm going.
276
00:21:48,974 --> 00:21:51,557
Anissa, if your father wanted out this way,
he could do it himself.
277
00:21:51,769 --> 00:21:53,226
If you don't maintain
your secret identity,
278
00:21:53,437 --> 00:21:54,644
it could endanger Jennifer.
279
00:21:54,855 --> 00:21:56,096
Your mother, too.
280
00:21:56,315 --> 00:21:58,307
How does it help the ASA
to put Dad in jail?
281
00:21:58,526 --> 00:22:01,985
The national security apparatus can
push buttons in local law enforcement.
282
00:22:02,196 --> 00:22:03,653
This is smoke.
283
00:22:03,864 --> 00:22:06,322
The fire comes when he gets
moved by an ASA collection team
284
00:22:06,534 --> 00:22:08,241
that's equipped
to neutralize his powers.
285
00:22:08,452 --> 00:22:11,069
They'll throw him in a black site and
confirm that he's Black Lightning.
286
00:22:11,956 --> 00:22:12,912
And then what?
287
00:22:13,999 --> 00:22:15,490
They'll kill him.
288
00:22:15,709 --> 00:22:18,326
Okay. We've got
to get him out of there.
289
00:22:18,546 --> 00:22:21,038
No, that will only confirm
their suspicions.
290
00:22:21,257 --> 00:22:23,670
What we have to do
is prove to the ASA
291
00:22:23,884 --> 00:22:26,467
that Jefferson Pierce
isn't Black Lightning.
292
00:22:28,013 --> 00:22:29,129
Okay.
293
00:22:29,974 --> 00:22:31,556
How do we do that?
294
00:22:50,411 --> 00:22:52,152
Henderson. Finally.
295
00:22:52,371 --> 00:22:53,953
Afternoon, Mr. Pierce.
296
00:22:59,628 --> 00:23:03,338
We're on tape.
There's eyes and ears everywhere.
297
00:23:03,966 --> 00:23:05,457
How's that? Better?
298
00:23:06,427 --> 00:23:07,383
Yeah.
299
00:23:11,140 --> 00:23:13,348
They took my clothes.
300
00:23:13,559 --> 00:23:17,223
They're being tested to see if they
contain any traces of Green Light.
301
00:23:17,438 --> 00:23:19,350
What? They're not
gonna find anything.
302
00:23:20,774 --> 00:23:22,857
You might be surprised
what they find.
303
00:23:23,569 --> 00:23:24,810
Now, we've known each other
a long time,
304
00:23:25,029 --> 00:23:26,361
so I'll shoot
straight with you.
305
00:23:26,572 --> 00:23:27,733
Um...
306
00:23:27,948 --> 00:23:29,564
There's too much here
to ignore.
307
00:23:29,783 --> 00:23:31,274
What's your connection
to this man?
308
00:23:31,827 --> 00:23:33,568
He called himself Lala.
309
00:23:34,163 --> 00:23:35,870
A murderer, drug dealer.
310
00:23:36,081 --> 00:23:38,539
He was a student
when I was a young teacher.
311
00:23:39,460 --> 00:23:40,701
Nothing beyond that?
312
00:23:42,713 --> 00:23:44,670
Despite my efforts,
he joined The One Hundred.
313
00:23:44,882 --> 00:23:47,090
He worked his way up the ranks.
314
00:23:47,509 --> 00:23:50,297
So, I took advantage
of my relationship
315
00:23:50,512 --> 00:23:53,050
and got him to make
Garfield High off-limits.
316
00:23:53,265 --> 00:23:55,348
So why did members
of The One Hundred
317
00:23:55,559 --> 00:23:57,596
enter Garfield
and kidnap your daughters?
318
00:23:57,811 --> 00:23:58,801
I don't know.
319
00:24:01,190 --> 00:24:02,431
Drug deal gone bad?
320
00:24:06,028 --> 00:24:07,644
Henderson, I'm being set up.
321
00:24:10,491 --> 00:24:12,528
Why would someone set you up?
322
00:24:15,537 --> 00:24:16,493
I don't know.
323
00:24:18,290 --> 00:24:19,952
- Interview's over.
- No. It's not.
324
00:24:20,209 --> 00:24:22,451
I have a transfer order
above your pay grade and mine.
325
00:24:22,670 --> 00:24:23,911
- From who?
- Hell if I know.
326
00:24:24,129 --> 00:24:25,495
It's a national
security directive.
327
00:24:27,549 --> 00:24:29,040
But I wouldn't wanna be you.
328
00:24:39,812 --> 00:24:42,771
Our reporter in the field,
John Webb, has been on the street,
329
00:24:42,982 --> 00:24:45,269
talking to people
about the shocking arrest
330
00:24:45,484 --> 00:24:48,727
of nationally respected Garfield
High Principal Jefferson Pierce.
331
00:24:49,196 --> 00:24:51,108
Every time a brother
tries to help his people,
332
00:24:51,323 --> 00:24:52,939
they find a way to set him up
and take him down.
333
00:24:53,158 --> 00:24:54,319
It's a shame.
334
00:24:54,535 --> 00:24:58,575
I heard he walks around and makes
the students call him Black Jesus.
335
00:24:58,789 --> 00:25:00,997
Imagine that. Black Jesus.
336
00:25:01,208 --> 00:25:03,120
My niece went to Garfield.
337
00:25:03,335 --> 00:25:04,951
That girl never
would've graduated
338
00:25:05,170 --> 00:25:06,786
if it wasn't for
Principal Pierce.
339
00:25:07,047 --> 00:25:09,414
The police know damn well Mr.
Pierce ain't no drug dealer.
340
00:25:09,633 --> 00:25:12,171
Any man who would do that
could do anything.
341
00:25:12,386 --> 00:25:15,424
He kept her focused and
helped her get into college.
342
00:25:15,639 --> 00:25:18,302
She graduates from Johns
Hopkins next semester.
343
00:25:18,517 --> 00:25:19,348
There you have it.
344
00:25:19,560 --> 00:25:21,392
Shock, disbelief, and for some,
345
00:25:21,603 --> 00:25:24,016
disillusionment about this
turn of events.
346
00:25:24,231 --> 00:25:25,642
John Webb reporting.
347
00:25:32,197 --> 00:25:33,813
Dr. Lynn Stewart.
348
00:25:34,241 --> 00:25:36,403
The Feds
are transferring Jefferson.
349
00:25:36,618 --> 00:25:39,736
Some kind of national security thing.
There's nothing I can do.
350
00:25:41,206 --> 00:25:44,165
National security?
What are the allegations?
351
00:25:44,626 --> 00:25:46,583
I've told you
everything I know.
352
00:25:48,714 --> 00:25:49,795
Thank you.
353
00:25:55,512 --> 00:25:56,298
Your mother called.
354
00:25:56,513 --> 00:25:58,630
The order came to move Jefferson.
We're out of time.
355
00:25:58,849 --> 00:26:00,260
Okay, we go with your plan.
356
00:26:00,476 --> 00:26:02,388
Anissa,
I want to save your dad as much as you,
357
00:26:02,603 --> 00:26:05,516
but you need to understand the
tech we're using is a prototype,
358
00:26:05,731 --> 00:26:08,769
put together in half a day with parts
I cannibalized from the sanctum.
359
00:26:09,443 --> 00:26:10,399
And?
360
00:26:11,361 --> 00:26:12,693
It's untested.
It may not work.
361
00:26:12,905 --> 00:26:13,895
But it might.
362
00:26:14,114 --> 00:26:14,820
Look, I can't lose my dad.
363
00:26:15,032 --> 00:26:17,149
And at this point,
we're the only hope he's got.
364
00:26:17,868 --> 00:26:20,326
You have to do exactly as I tell you.
One misstep...
365
00:26:20,579 --> 00:26:22,821
Ain't gonna be no missteps.
366
00:26:23,040 --> 00:26:25,077
Just walk me through it.
I got this.
367
00:26:29,630 --> 00:26:32,418
I have one more lawyer to interview,
and I'll get back to you.
368
00:26:33,550 --> 00:26:35,382
Okay. Thank you.
369
00:26:39,306 --> 00:26:41,298
Why can't he just
Black Lightning his way out?
370
00:26:43,519 --> 00:26:45,511
You know, you're gonna
have to learn that you can't
371
00:26:45,729 --> 00:26:48,722
punch or superpower your way
out of every problem.
372
00:26:54,696 --> 00:26:57,689
I know you're scared.
It's okay to be scared.
373
00:26:58,951 --> 00:27:00,237
I'm not.
374
00:27:02,079 --> 00:27:03,866
Dad told me
to be strong for you.
375
00:27:07,126 --> 00:27:09,994
It's okay to be strong
and scared at the same time.
376
00:27:11,046 --> 00:27:12,537
It's called having sense.
377
00:27:17,386 --> 00:27:19,503
Well, what if
we can't get him out?
378
00:27:20,472 --> 00:27:23,260
I mean, it does happen
to people all the time, right?
379
00:27:32,901 --> 00:27:34,688
What if Daddy
never comes home?
380
00:27:37,322 --> 00:27:38,403
He will.
381
00:27:57,926 --> 00:28:00,009
You two, let's go.
382
00:28:00,220 --> 00:28:01,882
No. Not you.
383
00:28:16,028 --> 00:28:19,146
Hey, man, I'm trying to help you,
but national security directives?
384
00:28:19,364 --> 00:28:21,651
And top secret transfer orders?
You a spy or something?
385
00:28:21,867 --> 00:28:23,153
What? No, I'm not.
386
00:28:23,368 --> 00:28:25,485
Look, Jeff, we're friends,
we don't tell each other everything.
387
00:28:25,704 --> 00:28:29,664
But if you know of any reason this
is going down, now is the time.
388
00:28:34,880 --> 00:28:36,542
I really don't know.
389
00:28:44,473 --> 00:28:46,681
Yeah, I'm still
gonna help you.
390
00:28:46,892 --> 00:28:49,259
I was just hoping you would
make it a little easier for me.
391
00:29:14,336 --> 00:29:15,247
What do you want?
392
00:29:15,462 --> 00:29:16,873
Come on in. Have a seat.
393
00:29:22,719 --> 00:29:25,006
"Follow the money."
Isn't that what they always say?
394
00:29:25,222 --> 00:29:27,054
Henderson, I don't have time
for whatever this is.
395
00:29:27,266 --> 00:29:28,928
Oh, I think you do.
396
00:29:29,393 --> 00:29:30,884
I called in
a lifetime of favors,
397
00:29:31,103 --> 00:29:33,015
but from what I could tell,
398
00:29:33,522 --> 00:29:35,263
you hit the lottery.
399
00:29:37,359 --> 00:29:38,566
I don't know
what you're talking about.
400
00:29:40,028 --> 00:29:41,564
Your son has himself
a new house.
401
00:29:41,780 --> 00:29:44,363
Contractor says
he paid in cash.
402
00:29:44,783 --> 00:29:48,197
I wonder what the IRS would
have to say about that?
403
00:29:48,412 --> 00:29:51,496
Now, look, I know there's a lot of
money to be made with the badge.
404
00:29:51,707 --> 00:29:53,744
I got you dead to rights.
405
00:29:55,627 --> 00:29:57,835
But the good news is,
I don't want you.
406
00:29:58,672 --> 00:30:00,163
I want Cayman.
407
00:30:02,134 --> 00:30:03,591
Now...
408
00:30:03,802 --> 00:30:05,259
how about you sit down?
409
00:30:19,192 --> 00:30:22,230
Monitoring three students
who've ingested Green Light.
410
00:30:22,446 --> 00:30:24,438
No enhanced abilities observed.
411
00:30:33,623 --> 00:30:34,989
Whoa!
412
00:30:36,501 --> 00:30:39,414
D o n't let anything get
between you and the hologram,
413
00:30:39,629 --> 00:30:41,291
or people will realize
it's not really him.
414
00:30:41,506 --> 00:30:42,587
Okay. I got it.
415
00:30:42,799 --> 00:30:44,335
I'll turn it off for now.
416
00:30:44,760 --> 00:30:48,128
Get as much attention as you can,
and I'll turn it back on.
417
00:30:48,930 --> 00:30:49,886
All right.
418
00:31:00,484 --> 00:31:02,646
- Oh, my God. Look!
- It's Thunder!
419
00:31:02,861 --> 00:31:03,897
Look at her!
420
00:31:04,112 --> 00:31:05,193
Oh, my God.
421
00:31:19,294 --> 00:31:21,661
Our reporters are on the ground
in Zone Four,
422
00:31:21,880 --> 00:31:25,044
where several residents
have reported a disturbance.
423
00:31:40,023 --> 00:31:41,355
- Black Lightning!
- Look, look, look!
424
00:31:41,566 --> 00:31:43,432
Look! It's Black Lightning
and Thunder!
425
00:31:48,615 --> 00:31:51,278
It's a good thing Freeland's
power grid is so easy to hack.
426
00:32:02,003 --> 00:32:04,461
You're almost at the intersection.
There.
427
00:32:09,803 --> 00:32:11,886
Damn! Don't let that car
get between you.
428
00:32:12,097 --> 00:32:13,133
I know.
429
00:32:21,857 --> 00:32:23,348
Let's got,
Black Lightning, let's go!
430
00:32:32,159 --> 00:32:33,525
It's crazy, man.
431
00:32:33,743 --> 00:32:36,076
I mean, it still bugs me
when I see Black Lightning.
432
00:32:36,288 --> 00:32:38,996
Negro running around looking like
a modern-day George Clinton.
433
00:32:39,207 --> 00:32:42,700
But now he got that fine-ass
woman running around with him.
434
00:32:43,128 --> 00:32:44,494
Must be nice.
435
00:32:44,713 --> 00:32:46,670
I'm happy to see them
both out here trying to help.
436
00:32:46,882 --> 00:32:47,998
Since they showed up,
437
00:32:48,216 --> 00:32:50,378
less of these kids out here
trippin' on that Green Light,
438
00:32:50,594 --> 00:32:51,710
- that's for sure.
- Yeah.
439
00:32:51,928 --> 00:32:52,918
For sure.
440
00:34:20,141 --> 00:34:22,303
Glennon admitted
to planting the evidence.
441
00:34:22,519 --> 00:34:23,805
You're being cleared
for release.
442
00:34:26,898 --> 00:34:28,560
Thanks, brother.
443
00:34:28,775 --> 00:34:30,767
The next few rounds are on you.
444
00:34:31,319 --> 00:34:33,106
I was told
you were down here.
445
00:34:34,030 --> 00:34:35,111
What are you doing?
446
00:34:35,323 --> 00:34:38,282
Police work.
You should try it sometime.
447
00:34:38,493 --> 00:34:40,860
You just flushed your badge
down the toilet, Henderson.
448
00:34:41,079 --> 00:34:43,662
Mr. Pierce, once you get dressed,
you're free to go.
449
00:34:52,007 --> 00:34:52,872
Hey!
450
00:34:55,176 --> 00:34:56,212
What the hell?
451
00:34:56,428 --> 00:34:58,841
I'm embarrassed that it took me
this long to do the right thing,
452
00:35:00,098 --> 00:35:03,011
start weeding this place
of all the rot.
453
00:35:03,602 --> 00:35:05,810
But once
Detective Glennon got going,
454
00:35:06,187 --> 00:35:08,179
he had an awful lot to say,
mainly about you.
455
00:35:08,398 --> 00:35:10,060
Don't play
cop games with me.
456
00:35:11,484 --> 00:35:12,770
You know, who knew
you were smart enough
457
00:35:12,986 --> 00:35:14,568
to seek out some
shell corporations,
458
00:35:14,779 --> 00:35:17,863
but dumb enough to leave the
paperwork in your house?
459
00:35:18,074 --> 00:35:21,988
You're under arrest. The officer
will read you your rights.
460
00:35:22,621 --> 00:35:24,578
You're making a mistake,
Henderson.
461
00:35:24,789 --> 00:35:27,031
Hey. You don't know
how this town really works!
462
00:35:31,713 --> 00:35:33,170
Actually, I do.
463
00:35:41,431 --> 00:35:42,547
Daddy!
464
00:35:44,392 --> 00:35:45,508
I'm so happy you're home!
465
00:35:45,727 --> 00:35:50,017
Oh. Me, too, sweetie.
Me, too.
466
00:35:51,149 --> 00:35:53,983
You know what? I'm hungry.
Let's get some ice cream.
467
00:35:54,194 --> 00:35:57,358
- Well, I guess we had our moment.
- Yeah.
468
00:36:19,511 --> 00:36:20,877
It's Uncle Gambi.
469
00:36:28,103 --> 00:36:29,435
Thanks for coming over.
470
00:36:31,481 --> 00:36:33,689
Anissa told me what you did.
471
00:36:34,484 --> 00:36:36,817
Did she tell you
about the self-driving van?
472
00:36:37,028 --> 00:36:39,691
I'm really proud
of the self-driving van.
473
00:36:40,824 --> 00:36:43,282
Do you think the ASA
bought your hologram move?
474
00:36:43,910 --> 00:36:45,117
For now.
475
00:36:48,039 --> 00:36:49,200
Jefferson, I...
476
00:36:49,416 --> 00:36:54,286
Look, I don't know how things
are going to be, moving forward.
477
00:36:54,879 --> 00:36:56,586
I don't expect you
to forgive me.
478
00:36:58,091 --> 00:37:00,458
I might not be able to.
479
00:37:00,760 --> 00:37:03,753
But I still can't forget
what you've done for me.
480
00:37:05,515 --> 00:37:06,881
For my family.
481
00:37:12,313 --> 00:37:15,477
I want to find a new balance.
482
00:37:17,026 --> 00:37:18,267
Somehow.
483
00:37:21,990 --> 00:37:23,106
Okay.
484
00:37:24,784 --> 00:37:27,151
Just let me know
what you need from me.
485
00:37:27,370 --> 00:37:30,989
I need you to help me
save those children.
486
00:37:32,792 --> 00:37:35,660
Revelations that renowned Garfield
High Principal, Jefferson Pierce
487
00:37:35,879 --> 00:37:39,043
was framed by Freeland PD
Deputy Chief Cayman.
488
00:37:39,257 --> 00:37:40,839
He has been
completely exonerated,
489
00:37:41,050 --> 00:37:43,542
while Cayman and his cohorts
are in custody.
490
00:37:43,762 --> 00:37:46,755
We go live now to the
Freeland PD press conference.
491
00:37:46,973 --> 00:37:49,465
This is a new day in Freeland.
492
00:37:49,976 --> 00:37:54,311
For years, good folk have suffered
from over or under-policing,
493
00:37:54,522 --> 00:37:57,606
from police brutality
instead of public safety,
494
00:37:57,817 --> 00:38:01,026
and from corruption
rather than professionalism.
495
00:38:01,237 --> 00:38:03,194
I am of this community,
496
00:38:03,406 --> 00:38:07,741
from this community,
and devoted to this community.
497
00:38:07,952 --> 00:38:10,660
With the support
of the Police Chief,
498
00:38:10,872 --> 00:38:13,910
I embrace my new role
as Deputy Chief.
499
00:38:16,419 --> 00:38:18,456
And I promise
the people of Freeland
500
00:38:18,671 --> 00:38:20,503
a better police department.
501
00:38:23,551 --> 00:38:26,168
So, Gambi, you're the eldest.
502
00:38:27,305 --> 00:38:28,466
Lead us?
503
00:38:33,102 --> 00:38:37,767
We are thankful for the
companionship that warms our hearts,
504
00:38:38,066 --> 00:38:41,810
for the food that we're about to
eat that will nourish our bodies,
505
00:38:42,654 --> 00:38:46,193
and we're thankful for your eternal
protection which maintains our souls.
506
00:38:46,866 --> 00:38:47,777
Amen.
507
00:38:47,992 --> 00:38:49,028
Amen.
508
00:38:49,244 --> 00:38:50,530
Let's eat.
509
00:38:53,164 --> 00:38:54,075
Here you go.
510
00:38:54,290 --> 00:38:55,076
Thank you.
511
00:38:55,291 --> 00:38:56,202
Yes.
