Previously on Black Lightning...

Thirty years ago, I came to Freeland

as an agent for a government
organization called the ASA.

They were conducting an
experiment in Freeland,

giving the people a
vaccine to make them docile.

But their vaccine inadvertently
created metahumans.

People with special powers.

And it was my job to find them.

I leaked the information to your father,

and his investigation got him killed.

You stay away from me.

Sources say she was
killed by electrocution,

making Black Lightning
their prime suspect.

And just like that,

Freeland's protector just
became its biggest threat.

I can't let someone trying to frame me

distract me from my mission.

So how are we going to stop them?

Go after Green Light.

Tell the board that it's my
decision and my decision alone.

And I'm the vice principal,
not your secretary.

So if you want the
board to know something,

you should tell them yourself.

When Black Lightning returned,

you said you would figure out
who he was and take care of him.

You didn't,

so I'm bringing ASA operatives
into town to kill him,

plain and simple.

I used to work as a sort of a scout.

And I just saw the
body of one of the boys

that I helped find 30 years ago.

I can't get out of my head
what I saw at that lab.

Black Lightning's the only one
who can expose what's been done

and bring these people to justice.

DVDs, baby clothes.

Hey, I got what you
want. I got what you need.

What the hell?

Hey! Hey! Hey!

Oh, my God.

Oh, my God, they're alive.

Dad. Dad.

Dad, there's a bunch of kids in
trouble and they need our help.

What?

Uncle Gambi discovered the
bodies of a bunch of kids

who disappeared 30 years ago.

And since you guys weren't talkin',

he asked me to let you know
so maybe you could help.

Okay, slow down.

Look, Dad, I knew you wouldn't trust
anything that came from Uncle Gambi,

so I decided to check it out on my own.

Gambi sent you to check on dead bodies?

No, Dad. I was supposed to tell
you and I didn't. And I'm sorry.

Look, Uncle Gambi, he
thought they were dead,

but they're alive, and they're kept
in some kind of suspended state,

and, Dad, I was going to get them,

but I didn't want to make a
mistake and hurt them even more.

Are you talking about the kids
that disappeared 30 years ago?

Yes.

I don't know. I think so, yes.

They're not dead?

No. They're alive.

Ain't no such thing as death,

not no more, Will.

Look at you.

I'm here, you're here.

Yeah, but you killed me, cuz.

I want to be on your side of life.

Who says you ain't?

Aw. Damn.

What you gonna do when Tobias come back?

You know damn well he
ain't gonna be too happy

about you taking over The One Hundred.

If Tobias comes back...

I'm gonna kill him.

What, like you killed me?

Yeah.

Truth be told, you had it coming.

Your lack of discipline was hurting us.

What about your goons over there?

Do they got it coming, too?

Man, why y'all ain't out
there on them corners?

Since Black Lightning
lit up the warehouse,

there ain't no Green Light to move.

You act like Green Light
is the only drug in town.

You can smoke it, but you can't sell it?

Get your asses back out
on them corners, man.

And get creative.

Man, I'm tired of this, man.

Don't nobody want these old-ass
drugs after they've had Green Light.

You slippin', Lala.

Man, you walking around
here talking to yourself.

Man, we all see you.

Maybe you ain't built
for this no more, man.

Anybody else think I
ain't built for this?

If anybody got a problem with selling

good, old-fashioned, regular drugs,

you should tell me now.

We sell whatever you
want us to sell, boss.

Good.

Hey.

Handle that.

Damn. You always merking somebody.

Just like how you killed me.

I didn't do nothing to
you, but give you a job.

Everything after that,
you did to yourself.

How's my moms?

She ain't been the same
since you disappeared.

Disappeared? What you mean?

She don't know I'm dead.

Dead bodies bring up too many questions.

Right.

Damn.

Over here.

Oh, wait a minute. What?

No. No, they were here.

Dad, I swear to God there
were a bunch of kids in here.

Looks like, uh...

some large objects were
dragged out the door.

Someone knew you were here.

Okay, nobody was in here when I...

Thirty years ago,

Gambi worked for a clandestine
government agency called the ASA.

Hmm.

With that secret room of his,

it had to be something like that.

Yeah.

And after all the political
uprisings around the country,

the ASA put Gambi here

to report on their
illegal human experiments

that were supposed to make black
folks in neighborhoods like Freeland

docile so they could control them.

Seriously, they put
something in the water supply.

And then the vaccines.

And they called us paranoid.

But the vaccines inadvertently
gave a few kids powers.

Gambi reported kids
who displayed abilities

and those kids were kidnapped.

Look, Dad, I know. He told me.

And he also told me that
he was extremely naive.

He thought he was being a good soldier,

but when he realized what
was actually happening,

he leveraged his knowledge of
the program to make them stop.

So that makes everything he did okay?

No, it doesn't make it
okay, but, Dad, he saved you

and he protected you all those years.

He cares. Come on, you know he does.

And he did everything he
could to make things right.

Yeah, well, there are some
things you can't make right.

Well, look,

we need to find those kids.

And with the bounty on your head,

that's gonna make things
that much harder to get done.

- Just get some sleep.
- Dad, look.

I know Gambi was wrong,
but don't we need his help?

No, I can't work with Gambi anymore!

I don't trust him.

Okay.

Look, I'm sorry.

- Two-Bits?
- Hey. What's up, J?

Hey, I'm sorry to bother you
so early this morning like this,

but, um, I needed to talk,
man. You got a minute?

Yeah, come on in.

Oh, okay, thank you.

I done a lot of things
I ain't proud of, J.

Stealing, selling drugs,

but there's wrong and
then there's wrong, man.

What's on your mind, Two-Bits?

I saw one of your students
get snatched last night.

Wait, what?

Look, at least I think it
was one of your students.

I mean, she was wearing one
of them ugly-ass uniforms

y'all be making them wear, you know.

Okay, okay, what happened?

I saw her get some Green Light from

one of them corner boys, and then, um...

This gonna sound crazy,
but after she took it,

for a second, it looked
like she caught on fire.

What do you mean "caught on fire"?

J, I mean, it looked like she was
on fire from inside her body, man.

I know it sounds crazy,
but that's what I saw.

Look, it only lasted a second,

and after that, two men wearing black

jumped out of this van
and they grabbed her.

- Where did this happen?
- Uh, 34th and Oglethorpe.

Okay, start over.

Tell me exactly what happened.
Don't leave anything out.

Heard you were dead.

I was.

Welcome back.

I'm gonna need you to
front me two million in coke

and $400,000 in chronic.

Ever since Green Light hit,

my business in Freeland has
shrunken to almost nothing,

so believe me when I tell
you, your offer is tempting...

- But?
- How do I know I can trust you?

You disappear, then come
back wanting to do business

in much larger quantities
than ever before,

on commission, for a product
that people no longer buy.

It sounds like a setup
and it feels like a setup.

I'm not setting you up.
I just wanna do business.

Like I said, all people
want is Green Light.

They can't get it. One
supplier, and he's out.

One thing I know is, folks
got to do something to get by.

Yeah.

That's a lot of product to
be selling on commission.

What is that?

My mother's address.

You're putting up your
mother's life as collateral?

How do I know it's really her address?

Have your people check it out.

I'll wait.

It appears you returned from
the dead with a sense of purpose.

As long as everything
checks out, we got a deal.

You really gonna put your
moms up like that, man?

Hey, Daddy.

Morning.

I heard voices earlier.

Yeah, a friend came by.

He had something to talk
about that couldn't wait.

- I need you to stay home from school today.
- What? Why?

I'm sorry. I can't
explain why right now.

Dad, the results from the student
government race come in today.

Yeah, I just need you to stay home.

Hey. Morning.

Dad wants me to stay
home from school today.

Usually, parents have to beg their
kids to go to school, but not mine.

Huh? What's going on?

It may not be safe for
Jennifer to be out and about.

Now, it might be nothing,

but I'd like you to stay with
her until I can make sure.

Does this have anything
to do with last night?

I don't know.

Look, I have to go. I'll
call you when I find out more.

All right. Dad...

be safe.

Yeah.

Excuse me? Have you
seen my friend, Neema?

No, sorry.

Excuse me, can I put this up?

What is this?

My friend, Neema, didn't
come home last night.

Oh?

I knew something was wrong
when she didn't call me.

We talk, like, four
times a day, every day.

And then her parents
called looking for her.

Nobody knew where she was.

- Maybe she ran away.
- Neema would never run away from me.

Have you been to the police?

What?

She was on Green Light.

So, the police don't think
it's worth their time?

I'm sorry.

I'll put your flier up.

Thanks.

This is all just too much.

Being like this has
already ruined my life.

Are you... You need to
calm down. Seriously.

Why is nobody listening to
me? I don't wanna have powers.

I don't wanna save the world. Okay?

Okay, I hear you,

but you're rejecting something that
you don't fully understand, Jen.

Like I told you, this is a
gift, a blessing from God.

In your opinion.

That doesn't make it the truth.

What if it's a curse from the Devil?

You don't even know what you can do.

I mean, you could be out here...

You know what, I don't want
to know. I don't want to know.

- Oh, so, you're just gonna walk away?
- Yes.

That's what you do when things
get tough, you walk away.

Go ahead, quit.

Girl, bye.

Jennifer, look at me.

This is real. Okay?

It's real.

People are out there
dying, and we have powers,

powers that we have a
responsibility to help save people...

No, you have a responsibility
to help save people.

I don't have a
responsibility to do anything.

Okay, yep. You're right, you don't.

And you know what, it's probably best

that you don't find out what you can do

because you just might quit.

Just like you quit track.

You'll probably quit on me, Mom,
and Dad when we need you the most.

And let's not forget that
you quit on Khalil, too.

Yup, I said it.

Whoa, Jen.

Wait, Jennifer. Oh, my God, Jen.

What just happened?

Oh, my God. You're just like Dad.

So, Anissa is watching Jennifer.

She'll keep her safe.

And you think those were the same kids

that disappeared 30 years ago?

Yeah, I do.

And I think it's happening again.

The ASA made Green Light to replicate

the accident they made with the vaccine,

but most of the people
that take Green Light,

they don't develop powers.

- They just destroy their lives.
- Yeah.

You need to go see Gambi.

Gambi and I are through. Period.

You need his help, Jeff.

Not gonna happen.

So, the pods Anissa described
would draw a huge amount of power.

I might be able to use my
electric vision to find them.

Well, also, powered containers that big

don't just disappear without
someone seeing something.

- Okay.
- I'll talk to Two-Bits,

see if he knows anything
about the pods moving.

Why would Two-Bits know
anything about the pods?

Two-Bits has been tracking
the comings and goings

of all delivery trucks in
Freeland since we were teenagers.

Of course, he has.

And what is electric vision?

Well, I can see the current of
anything with an electrical signal.

Huh. I didn't know you could do that.

I couldn't. I mean, I could
only feel electricity before,

but Gambi fixed it so I can see it, too.

Can you see through people's clothes?

- Are you...
- Hmm.

- Maybe.
- Undressing me with your eyes,

Jefferson Pierce?

I'll go scan the city.

I'll see if I can see
anything that looks strange.

- Uh-huh. Okay, you do that.
- Mmm-hmm.

Will you stop it? I can see you.

I can see you, too.

Mmm.

Hello, Peter.

I need you to come with us.

I thought that might be your response.

Look out the window.

If you don't come out
with us in two minutes,

our man on the street will
begin shooting pedestrians.

What do I care about some
random people on the street?

Oh, I think you care.

As a matter of fact, I think you'd
rather kill one of your fellow agents

than see one of those people hurt.

What you think doesn't matter.

One way or another,

we're going to know how you
really feel about those people.

Thirty seconds.

Hmm.

A small part of me was hoping
that you'd let him start shooting.

Oh, well.

Come on, let's go.

Anissa told me what happened.

Are you okay?

Yeah.

No.

Look, I promise you, you will be.

Okay? You will live the
life that you want to live,

not the one Anissa,
or me, or your mother,

or anyone else, wants you to live.

The life you want.

But you have to learn
to control your powers.

Someone could get hurt.

I didn't ask for this.

I know.

Believe me, I know.

But you still have to deal with it.

Dad?

Yeah?

How do you use the
bathroom in your suit?

What...

We had a deal.

I'm following our deal.

I said I wouldn't sell no
more drugs, and I'm not.

You ain't supposed to
smoke no drugs either.

It's legal, man. I got a card.

Uh-uh. You ain't got a card from me.

- I hate you.
- No, you don't.

I'm making you a better man.

- I don't want to be a better man.
- Yeah, you do.

- So to, uh, reciprocate my generosity...
- Precipitate your what?

There was some large
electrical equipment

that was moved from a warehouse
on 12th Street last night.

Look, word is, man,
some military vehicles

were moving large items on
that side of town last night.

Trucks never left Freeland, but
no one's sure where they went.

- What the hell?
- Damn! I almost got you.

I'm sorry, Black Lightning,
but you worth a lot of money.

They doubled the reward they
put on you for killin' Lady Eve.

I'd take you in myself if
I thought I could take you.

- I didn't kill her.
- Okay, I believe you.

But what I think don't matter.

Man, you're doing too much.

Maybe you should try keeping
a lower profile, you know?

I don't do low profile.

Yeah, I see that.

Stop smoking them drugs, all
right? You need to do better.

Damn it!

What is wrong with you?

You got people trying to
drop microwaves on your head,

and you're telling me to do better?

He killed no one, but
I need my bills paid.

What's your name?

Rent. Car-no-electric.

Man.

Where he go?

We know you broke into our facility
and found our test subjects.

Shortly after that, Black Lightning
shows up at the same facility.

I don't think that was a coincidence.

The only reasonable explanation...

is that you told Black
Lightning about the warehouse,

which means...

that you know how to
contact Black Lightning.

I don't.

Now, why don't I believe that?

Because you're an ass.

Let's see how tough you really are.

No.

Hey, come on. Hey.

What's up, man? I've got it.

Yeah.

Hello, Malik.

Mr. Pierce, what are you doing out here?

I came here to see you.

Look, Malik, I've seen this before.

You're gonna die out
here on the streets.

Or you're gonna spend your
whole life in and out of prison.

Here you come with these speeches.

No, no, here I come with a solution.

I want you to attend
Freeland's mentorship program

I hold on the weekends at Garfield.

- Yeah, like, that's gonna happen.
- You owe me.

Man, look. I got to put in work,

and if I don't bring in no money,

me and my grandma won't
have nowhere to live.

Okay, I'll make a deal with you.

You commit to the program,

and I promise you, I'll find a way
to help you and your grandmother out.

Okay, look, you don't
have to answer me tonight.

Classes are ten o'clock tomorrow morning

at Garfield, in the science building.

If you decide to come, just ask
for me, security will let you in.

I'm good, Mr. Pierce.

I'll be there...

in case you change your mind.

I gotta admit it. You're
a tough old man, Gambi.

You know what I find confusing?

You quit the ASA because you could

no longer stomach what we were doing,

yet you stayed in Freeland.

Not only did you stay,

you helped raise Jefferson Pierce,

the son of the man who
was investigating us,

as if he were your own son.

Now, why is that?

I...

I wonder if Gambi's surrogate
son is as tough as he is.

- Please invite Mr. Pierce to join us.
- Yes, sir.

So why are we doing this?

After Anissa told me what happened,

I wanted to make sure everything
was okay with you internally.

Whoa! What was that?

- The machine's malfunctioning.
- That's weird.

Switch places with your sister, please.

Hey.

Jen, look,

I apologize for earlier.

You know I didn't mean what I said.

Yes, you did, Harriet.

But it's cool, I can take it.

Whoa.

That's so cool. I can see inside of her.

Everything looks normal.

Switch back, please.

All right, what you see?

No, it's not a malfunction.

Okay, so, do Dad's scans look like this?

No, they don't.

Jefferson's like a battery.

He takes electricity from the source
and channels it through his body.

According to this MRI,

Jennifer's a generator.

What are you saying?

Her cells are creating pure energy.

Where's everyone else at?

- Behind that preposition.
- What?

It is bad English to end a
sentence with a preposition.

Oh. Where's everyone else at, bruh?

Good. That's good.

There is no one else. You're it.

I'll be personally mentoring you.

How'd you know I was going to come?

Uh... I didn't, but I'm glad you did.

Okay, this is a mantra.

- Do you know what a mantra is?
- No.

A mantra is a motivating or calming
word or phrase that's repeated.

You see, some people believe that, uh,

if you repeat something
frequently, it becomes real.

And you believe that?

I believe that whatever
you say or do repeatedly

becomes your reality. Yeah.

You know, Henry Ford once said,

"Whether you think you
can or you think you can't,

you're right."

Okay, now I want you to read aloud
the words under "student," all right?

- "Where is the future?"
- "Right here."

- "Whose life is this?"
- "Mine."

"What are you going to do with it?"

"Live it by any means
necessary." I like that.

Now we can actually begin.

Mr. Pierce?

Yes?

I'm sorry for shooting your
daughter with fake blood.

I know you are.

I know you are.

All right.

Uh, can I help you?

If you ever want to
see Peter Gambi again,

you'll come with us
and you'll come quietly.

Um, okay, these are
poems by Langston Hughes.

Your assignment, read one poem a day,

- and we'll discuss them next Saturday.
- Let's go.

Gambi didn't tell us anything...

even though we asked nice.

So, we were wondering...

This man's like a son to you.

Do you want to tell us
who Black Lightning is now?

Or do we blow his head clean off?

That's why you did this?

I'll count to three.

One...

two...

You didn't tell 'em about me.

I don't think it's a good
idea for you to be here.

The ASA doesn't know about this place.

You and your family are the only
ones who've ever been down here.

No, no, no, no.

You need to rest.

Jefferson...

I'm sorry.

- I know.
- About everything.

I know.

I know.

Jeff...

It's happening again.
They're kidnapping kids.

Yeah, I know.

We can talk about that later,
but right now you need to rest.

- I need to check on Lynn and the girls.
- No.

You gotta get 'em out of the house.

- They're in danger.
- I'm already ahead of it.

You gotta find the spotter.

"The spotter"?

Someone...

like I used to be.

There must be someone
embedded in the community

who identifies the kids who've
acquired abilities from Green Light.

If you find that person,

then you can find Neema and the others.

You rest.

Green Light only has one supplier.

And that's bad for business.

We can get cocaine and
weed from multiple sources.

I got customers who are
all types of crackhead.

But they only want Green
Light, so that's what I want.

Okay, if that's what you want,

then you should leave.

Comin' in here with all that ra-ra.

You ain't really running
The One Hundred, no how.

You just holding the chair for Tobias,

and when Tobias gets back,
you're gonna get dealt with.

You must be crazy if you think

I'm just gonna let you
walk up on me like that.

Better chill before I
bust a cap in your ass.

Go ahead.

Do it.

If I ever catch you in Freeland again...

I'mma kill you with my bare hands.

Y'all got two weeks
to move those packages.

Now go.

How'd you know the gun
was going to misfire?

I didn't.

Mmm, what's that smell?

Neglect.

This is the house where
your father grew up.

It seemed so much
bigger when I was a kid.

Wait, you kept this
house all these years?

It was in a trust until I was, uh, 21.

After that, a property
manager looked after it.

And why didn't you just sell it?

The paperwork's not in my name.

No one knows I own it. We'll be safe.

- And how long do we have to stay here?
- I don't know.

This dust is older than I am.

Wait, is this where
Granddad was murdered?

Yeah.

Lots of other memories.

- Ghosts is more like it.
- Jen, this is not the time.

You all get comfortable.
We'll be here a while.

Ah, it should be safe here.

Thank you for my latest addition.

Have any more subjects
demonstrated abilities?

No, not yet.

I'm sure more will show up.

Keep your eyes open,

and do a better job.

What do you mean?

Jefferson Pierce is Black Lightning.

What?

Uh, no, he's not.

He's been hiding in
plain sight all this time.

Right under your nose.

Why do you think he's Black Lightning?

Because the second he was brought
in, there was a power failure,

which allowed Peter Gambi
to murder two of my agents.

It's him.

You've worked very closely
with Pierce for several years.

Do you think you can take him down?

Yes.

We'll see.
