Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:00:11,345 --> 00:00:14,212
"[Jennifer]" Justice, like
lightning Should ever appear.
2
00:00:14,473 --> 00:00:17,056
To some men hope
And to other men fear."
3
00:00:17,768 --> 00:00:20,385
My father taught me that
poem when I was just a little girl.
4
00:00:20,604 --> 00:00:23,187
[man on TV] My son
wasn't in no gang.
5
00:00:23,398 --> 00:00:25,730
He had a job with
the city and a little boy.
6
00:00:26,610 --> 00:00:29,352
Our children are dying in
these streets and no one cares.
7
00:00:29,571 --> 00:00:32,359
No one is in control.
Not even the police.
8
00:00:32,574 --> 00:00:35,566
- This city has really lost its damn mind.
- [sniffles]
9
00:00:35,786 --> 00:00:40,622
This incident marks 125 shootings
in Freeland in just one weekend,
10
00:00:40,832 --> 00:00:44,791
proof The One Hundred keeps
growing even stronger in power.
11
00:00:45,003 --> 00:00:46,483
Freeland activists
took to the streets
12
00:00:46,672 --> 00:00:48,162
to protest the notorious gang,
13
00:00:48,757 --> 00:00:49,838
but it turned violent
14
00:00:50,050 --> 00:00:52,542
when One Hundred gang
members tried to break up the march.
15
00:00:52,761 --> 00:00:53,421
[woman] They shootin'!
16
00:00:53,637 --> 00:00:57,221
We understand the community is
frustrated with the violence in our city.
17
00:00:57,891 --> 00:00:59,598
Freeland PD is frustrated, too.
18
00:00:59,810 --> 00:01:00,810
But I want to be clear,
19
00:01:00,936 --> 00:01:05,396
we will not tolerate any rioting,
looting, or violence. Excuse me.
20
00:01:05,607 --> 00:01:08,086
[reporter] But what about... One
more question for you, Inspector...
21
00:01:08,110 --> 00:01:10,950
[news anchor] Many residents say
they have lost faith in the Freeland PD
22
00:01:11,113 --> 00:01:14,447
and Inspector Henderson,
a 23-year veteran
23
00:01:14,658 --> 00:01:17,070
who came up through the
ranks fighting Black Lightning,
24
00:01:17,286 --> 00:01:20,404
who mysteriously
disappeared nine years ago.
25
00:01:20,998 --> 00:01:23,330
One day, I wish these
idiots would give us credit
26
00:01:23,542 --> 00:01:25,749
for all the lives we've
saved in Freeland.
27
00:01:25,961 --> 00:01:28,248
[Jennifer] I didn't fully
understand the poem
28
00:01:28,463 --> 00:01:32,081
until I grew to know the truth
about my family and myself.
29
00:01:32,551 --> 00:01:36,465
The signs were always there,
but this is how the journey began.
30
00:01:36,680 --> 00:01:37,680
Dad?
31
00:01:42,477 --> 00:01:43,888
[indistinct chatter]
32
00:01:50,193 --> 00:01:51,354
That's my dress.
33
00:01:52,613 --> 00:01:53,613
Oh, yeah.
34
00:01:54,698 --> 00:01:57,360
So is this one. Now,
hurry up and put it on
35
00:01:57,576 --> 00:01:59,567
before Dad gives birth
to a small farm animal.
36
00:02:01,788 --> 00:02:03,153
[sighs]
37
00:02:04,249 --> 00:02:06,206
Oh, so you looked at
your schedule for tonight...
38
00:02:06,752 --> 00:02:07,992
and you had a choice.
39
00:02:08,253 --> 00:02:12,497
Protest The One Hundred, or
attend Garfield High's fundraiser,
40
00:02:12,716 --> 00:02:15,048
and you chose the path that
led you to getting arrested.
41
00:02:15,260 --> 00:02:16,750
It wasn't a choice, Dad.
42
00:02:16,970 --> 00:02:20,179
No, it was a choice, Anissa.
Everything is a choice.
43
00:02:20,390 --> 00:02:21,846
It was a peaceful protest.
44
00:02:22,059 --> 00:02:25,051
Oh. Oh, yeah, burning police
cars? Breaking windows?
45
00:02:25,270 --> 00:02:27,630
You know, that's actually the
very definition of "peaceful."
46
00:02:27,689 --> 00:02:30,477
Well, I guess it depends on
what your definition of "peace" is.
47
00:02:30,692 --> 00:02:33,650
Because the people in Freeland,
they haven't had peace in generations.
48
00:02:33,862 --> 00:02:38,072
"Returning violence for
violence multiplies violence,
49
00:02:38,283 --> 00:02:42,572
adding deeper darkness to a
night already devoid of stars."
50
00:02:43,413 --> 00:02:44,528
Dr. King.
51
00:02:45,582 --> 00:02:49,041
"And I'm sick and tired
of being sick and tired."
52
00:02:49,836 --> 00:02:51,292
- Fannie Lou Hamer.
- Yep.
53
00:02:51,505 --> 00:02:54,543
- But that is not the point I'm making.
- [police siren blaring]
54
00:02:55,425 --> 00:02:56,631
[sighs]
55
00:02:58,303 --> 00:03:00,670
This night just keeps
getting better and better.
56
00:03:01,306 --> 00:03:02,909
[dispatcher] To be advised,
the suspect is armed.
57
00:03:02,933 --> 00:03:04,173
[Anissa] Dad, what's going on?
58
00:03:05,102 --> 00:03:07,142
- Copy that, Dispatch...
- [Jefferson] Just be calm.
59
00:03:08,230 --> 00:03:10,062
- Ugh!
- [Jefferson] Let me handle this.
60
00:03:11,566 --> 00:03:13,166
Yeah, this doesn't
feel so good, does it?
61
00:03:13,276 --> 00:03:14,276
[Jefferson] Jennifer.
62
00:03:15,487 --> 00:03:16,693
Step out of the car.
63
00:03:18,657 --> 00:03:20,898
Look, Officer, my name
is Jefferson Pierce...
64
00:03:21,118 --> 00:03:22,118
Get out, please.
65
00:03:22,494 --> 00:03:24,986
Okay, okay, look, this
is getting out of hand.
66
00:03:25,205 --> 00:03:26,787
Now, this is the
third time this month!
67
00:03:26,998 --> 00:03:28,142
- [Jennifer] Hey!
- What are you doing?
68
00:03:28,166 --> 00:03:29,622
Get your hands off my dad!
69
00:03:29,918 --> 00:03:31,204
- Hey!
- Leave him alone!
70
00:03:31,586 --> 00:03:33,356
- Let me see your hands! Now!
- [Jefferson] Stop!
71
00:03:33,380 --> 00:03:35,712
Don't shoot, all right?
Everybody, just calm down!
72
00:03:35,924 --> 00:03:36,924
Okay-
73
00:03:37,300 --> 00:03:38,861
[officer] Ma'am, put
'em up on the dashboard.
74
00:03:38,885 --> 00:03:41,422
Anissa, put your
hands on the dashboard!
75
00:03:41,638 --> 00:03:43,518
Dad, I have the right
to videotape if I want to!
76
00:03:43,557 --> 00:03:45,264
Damn it, Anissa, just do it now!
77
00:03:55,986 --> 00:03:57,026
[officer] Is this the guy?
78
00:03:59,156 --> 00:04:00,396
[officer sighs]
79
00:04:09,499 --> 00:04:11,490
You're not gonna tell
me what this is all about?
80
00:04:14,379 --> 00:04:15,619
You have a good night, sir.
81
00:04:17,716 --> 00:04:19,332
I asked you a question.
82
00:04:26,183 --> 00:04:28,094
Her liquor store
just got robbed.
83
00:04:29,394 --> 00:04:31,635
[stutters] And I'm sure
the description is what,
84
00:04:32,105 --> 00:04:35,848
"a black man dressed
in a suit and tie.
85
00:04:36,401 --> 00:04:39,689
Getaway car, a
mid-sized Volvo wagon"?
86
00:04:40,655 --> 00:04:43,397
[scoffs] You have
a good night, sir.
87
00:04:47,788 --> 00:04:49,153
[siren chirps]
88
00:04:51,291 --> 00:04:53,077
[static on radio]
89
00:04:54,419 --> 00:04:56,285
[electricity crackling]
90
00:04:59,299 --> 00:05:02,257
[pants and exhales]
91
00:05:03,970 --> 00:05:06,553
[Jennifer] This was
the night, in the rain,
92
00:05:07,057 --> 00:05:09,424
with thunder and
lightning as a witness,
93
00:05:09,684 --> 00:05:11,470
that Black Lightning
was born again.
94
00:05:20,487 --> 00:05:23,195
We all know that
this city is in a crisis.
95
00:05:23,406 --> 00:05:26,444
But under the leadership
of Principal Jefferson Pierce,
96
00:05:26,660 --> 00:05:29,197
Garfield High is
an oasis of hope.
97
00:05:29,746 --> 00:05:32,113
This Olympic gold
medal-winner came back
98
00:05:32,332 --> 00:05:35,916
to his old neighborhood of
Freeland to turn it around.
99
00:05:36,127 --> 00:05:39,210
And with graduation
rates now in the nineties,
100
00:05:39,422 --> 00:05:41,163
Jefferson does
it all with the help
101
00:05:41,383 --> 00:05:44,341
of an outstanding
faculty and his family.
102
00:05:44,553 --> 00:05:47,841
His oldest daughter, Anissa,
is a medical school student,
103
00:05:48,056 --> 00:05:52,175
and teaches three days a week
at the school as a health educator.
104
00:05:52,435 --> 00:05:53,925
His younger daughter, Jennifer,
105
00:05:54,145 --> 00:05:57,854
is a standout scholar-athlete
just like her father.
106
00:05:58,275 --> 00:06:00,892
- Girl, I was about to leave your ass.
- [scoffs] Okay.
107
00:06:01,111 --> 00:06:04,194
No. Ain't nobody got time to be
waiting on the Queen Of Garfield High.
108
00:06:04,531 --> 00:06:06,363
Kiesha, stop calling me that.
109
00:06:06,616 --> 00:06:08,573
What? Girl,
embrace it. It's true.
110
00:06:08,785 --> 00:06:11,055
Yeah, but when people say it,
they're just low-key hating on me
111
00:06:11,079 --> 00:06:13,840
for something I can't control.
Like, my dad's the principal, I get it.
112
00:06:14,124 --> 00:06:17,492
Girl, here you are. Where
do y'all think y'all going?
113
00:06:17,711 --> 00:06:21,625
[groans] Okay, okay.
Damn, we're busted. Um...
114
00:06:21,840 --> 00:06:24,735
Listen, Khalil and a few of his friends,
we're having a small house party,
115
00:06:24,759 --> 00:06:25,778
and Kiesha and I were gonna go.
116
00:06:25,802 --> 00:06:29,090
So why are your fast asses
in the bathroom, half naked?
117
00:06:31,057 --> 00:06:31,671
Thank you.
118
00:06:31,892 --> 00:06:34,133
Listen, I promise to be
home before Dad gets home.
119
00:06:35,270 --> 00:06:37,081
Come on, Harriet, help a
sister get some freedom.
120
00:06:37,105 --> 00:06:37,517
Mmm-mmm.
121
00:06:37,529 --> 00:06:39,563
You know what it's
like to live in that house.
122
00:06:40,525 --> 00:06:41,525
Please?
123
00:06:42,110 --> 00:06:43,110
[sighs]
124
00:06:43,737 --> 00:06:47,856
Listen, Jennifer, this
fundraiser is over at ten o'clock.
125
00:06:48,575 --> 00:06:51,818
You better have your behind
in the house no later than 10:15.
126
00:06:52,037 --> 00:06:53,306
- I'm_not playing.
- [giggles] Yep.
127
00:06:53,330 --> 00:06:54,330
No, seriously.
128
00:06:54,497 --> 00:06:55,987
- 10:15.
- Don't play with me.
129
00:06:56,207 --> 00:06:59,416
I'm not playing, I promise.
I'll be at home in the bed.
130
00:06:59,628 --> 00:07:00,016
Mmm-hmm.
131
00:07:00,028 --> 00:07:01,828
Thank you. Thank you,
thank you, thank you.
132
00:07:02,756 --> 00:07:04,747
Love you! [Chuckles]
133
00:07:04,966 --> 00:07:06,832
And stop calling me
"Harriet Tubman."
134
00:07:07,052 --> 00:07:08,052
Oh, sorry...
135
00:07:08,803 --> 00:07:10,464
[both] Harriet. [Laughing]
136
00:07:10,680 --> 00:07:11,960
Okay, come on,
come on, hurry up.
137
00:07:12,265 --> 00:07:14,347
Ladies and gentlemen, join me
138
00:07:14,559 --> 00:07:18,678
and welcome to the stage,
Principal Jefferson Pierce.
139
00:07:18,897 --> 00:07:21,059
[audience applauding
and cheering]
140
00:07:29,240 --> 00:07:30,901
Thank you, Senator Turner.
141
00:07:31,326 --> 00:07:32,326
[clears throat]
142
00:07:34,704 --> 00:07:35,704
Where is the future?
143
00:07:35,914 --> 00:07:37,075
[students] Right here.
144
00:07:37,499 --> 00:07:39,911
- And whose life is this?
- [students] Mine!
145
00:07:40,126 --> 00:07:41,537
And what are you
gonna do with it?
146
00:07:41,795 --> 00:07:44,253
[students] Live it by
any means necessary.
147
00:07:45,590 --> 00:07:49,128
[rapping] H' 'Bout
'bout 'bout now N'.
148
00:07:49,344 --> 00:07:51,301
N' This is my
intuition listen H'.
149
00:07:51,554 --> 00:07:52,914
N' I shouldn't be
pushing hard N'.
150
00:07:53,181 --> 00:07:54,888
H' They said
that be difficult N'.
151
00:07:55,141 --> 00:07:56,677
N To make it I
needed a miracle N'.
152
00:07:56,893 --> 00:07:58,850
I.“ But I did it I did
it without you N'.
153
00:07:59,062 --> 00:08:00,803
N' What'd you think
I would amount to N'.
154
00:08:01,022 --> 00:08:03,167
I.“ What'd you think I would
go Prowlin' n the city N'.
155
00:08:03,191 --> 00:08:04,351

156
00:08:04,484 --> 00:08:05,670
I.“ Come on, think about it h'.
157
00:08:05,694 --> 00:08:08,186
N' I got loads of muscle N'
158
00:08:08,446 --> 00:08:09,902
[vocalizing]
159
00:08:19,499 --> 00:08:21,957
Yeah! [Laughs]
160
00:08:23,378 --> 00:08:25,335
You wanna go over
there? Come on.
161
00:08:28,508 --> 00:08:30,465
- What do you say?
- Are you serious?
162
00:08:30,885 --> 00:08:33,468
Listen, don't think just
'cause I'm a little stoned
163
00:08:33,680 --> 00:08:34,960
that means you're
gonna get some.
164
00:08:35,098 --> 00:08:36,858
Because I'm not having
sex in a club bathroom
165
00:08:36,933 --> 00:08:39,300
with somebody I
just met. Or ever.
166
00:08:39,728 --> 00:08:40,934
I was just playing-
167
00:08:41,146 --> 00:08:44,355
No, you weren't. Because if I'd said
yes, you would have been all over this.
168
00:08:44,566 --> 00:08:47,649
- Okay, all right, I'll give you that.
- [both laugh]
169
00:08:47,861 --> 00:08:49,338
- That's wonderful.
- [man] That's great.
170
00:08:49,362 --> 00:08:50,362
Excuse me.
171
00:08:50,447 --> 00:08:52,358
You got a state
senator introducing you?
172
00:08:52,741 --> 00:08:55,108
Don't let all this high-class
ass-kissing go to your head.
173
00:08:55,326 --> 00:09:00,071
[laughs] Henderson, uh, my students
would define your comments as "hatin'."
174
00:09:00,290 --> 00:09:01,325
[laughs]
175
00:09:01,541 --> 00:09:02,906
Thank you for your support.
176
00:09:04,294 --> 00:09:07,753
And more importantly, for, uh, pulling
the strings to get Anissa released.
177
00:09:07,964 --> 00:09:10,672
Of course. It's getting
crazy out there, Jefferson.
178
00:09:10,884 --> 00:09:12,644
The rules of the streets
don't apply anymore.
179
00:09:12,844 --> 00:09:16,303
[chuckles] You protest the police,
we'll tear gas you, arrest you,
180
00:09:16,598 --> 00:09:17,958
maybe even put a
knot on your head.
181
00:09:18,099 --> 00:09:20,511
But protest The One
Hundred and they will kill you.
182
00:09:20,727 --> 00:09:22,997
-[cell phone vibrates] -You tell Anissa
she's needed more in emergency rooms
183
00:09:23,021 --> 00:09:24,227
than in those streets.
184
00:09:24,439 --> 00:09:25,600
Got to get back to work.
185
00:09:25,815 --> 00:09:27,585
And I'll check on those
guys who pulled you over.
186
00:09:27,609 --> 00:09:29,475
- I don't think they're mine.
- Thank you.
187
00:09:30,070 --> 00:09:30,810
Thank you.
188
00:09:31,029 --> 00:09:32,611
[laughing]
189
00:09:32,822 --> 00:09:33,903
Nice monkey suit.
190
00:09:34,240 --> 00:09:37,120
You should start a church, Jefferson.
At least you would make more money.
191
00:09:37,243 --> 00:09:38,278
[Jefferson] Uh-huh.
192
00:09:39,579 --> 00:09:41,539
- [clears throat]
- Enjoying yourself, Mr. Pierce?
193
00:09:41,790 --> 00:09:43,110
I will if we hit
our goal tonight.
194
00:09:43,208 --> 00:09:44,915
- Well, turn on the charm.
- [chuckles]
195
00:09:45,168 --> 00:09:46,979
-[clears throat] -I have
someone you should meet.
196
00:09:47,003 --> 00:09:49,335
Ms. Lady Eve from
Black Bird Funeral Parlor.
197
00:09:49,672 --> 00:09:51,458
Deep, deep pockets.
198
00:09:51,674 --> 00:09:53,460
- Yeah, I met her once or twice.
- Oh!
199
00:09:53,676 --> 00:09:55,556
Okay, I will be over.
Uh, just give me a minute.
200
00:10:03,103 --> 00:10:05,140
- Hi.
- Hey.
201
00:10:06,356 --> 00:10:10,691
Heard your daughter got arrested
tonight. It's not a good look, Jeff.
202
00:10:10,902 --> 00:10:12,984
- My daughter? Oh, you're funny.
- [chuckles]
203
00:10:13,196 --> 00:10:14,316
Yeah, we have joint custody,
204
00:10:14,447 --> 00:10:17,360
which means half of her
attitude is your responsibility.
205
00:10:17,575 --> 00:10:21,034
Jeff, Anissa has not been in "our
custody" for quite some time now.
206
00:10:21,246 --> 00:10:24,739
Now, I know it's hard for you to
swallow, but she's not a child anymore.
207
00:10:25,458 --> 00:10:26,458
She's a grown woman.
208
00:10:26,626 --> 00:10:30,415
Yeah, legally true, but
emotionally and financially,
209
00:10:30,630 --> 00:10:33,334
she is still in my care
and always in my wallet.
210
00:10:33,346 --> 00:10:33,998
[chuckles]
211
00:10:34,217 --> 00:10:35,937
You know, I'm actually
kind of proud of her.
212
00:10:36,177 --> 00:10:37,713
She's a lot like you, Jeff.
213
00:10:38,179 --> 00:10:41,467
Always wanting to help,
always fighting for change.
214
00:10:43,601 --> 00:10:44,601
You are beautiful.
215
00:10:45,311 --> 00:10:46,392
Don't do that.
216
00:10:46,646 --> 00:10:47,646
What?
217
00:10:48,022 --> 00:10:49,103
You know what.
218
00:10:50,400 --> 00:10:52,482
Besides, Ms. Fowdy's
waiting on you.
219
00:10:53,444 --> 00:10:56,903
[gasps] Oh. Mmm-hmm.
220
00:10:58,408 --> 00:11:02,902
You know, you actually
look really good in this suit.
221
00:11:09,752 --> 00:11:10,752
[sighs]
222
00:11:20,680 --> 00:11:21,841
Hey, hey!
223
00:11:23,183 --> 00:11:24,218
Hey, it's me.
224
00:11:25,059 --> 00:11:27,175
No, I thought you said
Jennifer was home.
225
00:11:29,689 --> 00:11:30,689
What?
226
00:11:32,901 --> 00:11:34,767
Absolutely ridiculous!
227
00:11:35,278 --> 00:11:36,768
No, you should know better.
228
00:11:37,822 --> 00:11:39,312
Yeah, I will talk to you later.
229
00:11:48,208 --> 00:11:50,996
No, Afropunk over
Coachella any day of the week.
230
00:11:51,211 --> 00:11:52,542
- No way.
- Are you serious?
231
00:11:52,754 --> 00:11:55,837
SZA, Solange, Childish Gambino?
232
00:11:56,049 --> 00:11:57,809
All right, all right,
I'll give you that one.
233
00:11:58,593 --> 00:12:00,584
So, you one of them
alternative black girls?
234
00:12:01,512 --> 00:12:03,344
[chuckles] All
right, I'll take it.
235
00:12:03,598 --> 00:12:06,636
- No, for real, how old are you?
- I'm serious, I'm 18.
236
00:12:06,851 --> 00:12:08,341
What's good, bruh?
237
00:12:09,771 --> 00:12:10,771
What up?
238
00:12:13,191 --> 00:12:15,711
Uh, I'm gonna run to the restroom
while you talk to your friends.
239
00:12:15,735 --> 00:12:17,146
- Excuse me.
- No.
240
00:12:17,820 --> 00:12:20,653
I'm sorry?
- Chill. Chill.

Why I gotta chase you
down to have a conversation?
248
00:12:54,524 --> 00:12:56,231
You ain't got to
chase me down, Lala.
249
00:12:57,026 --> 00:12:59,546
I'm just hustling, just trying to
make the money you say I owe you.
250
00:12:59,570 --> 00:13:01,436
Oh, look, the money
I say you owe me?
251
00:13:01,656 --> 00:13:03,897
Bruh, did the Freeland PD
252
00:13:04,117 --> 00:13:06,905
not steal 100 grand worth of product
from you when you got popped?
253
00:13:07,120 --> 00:13:09,040
See, none of this is my
business. I'm gonna go...
254
00:13:09,205 --> 00:13:12,243
I'm talking, sweetheart.
Just stand there and be cute.
255

'Cause I want to make sure
that we clear on this point.

Did you not have
commissary money?
257
00:13:17,755 --> 00:13:19,712
Did you not have the
best lawyer in Freeland?
258
00:13:20,800 --> 00:13:22,882

I just met him tonight, I swear...

Hey, shut up. As
a matter of fact,
265
00:13:37,150 --> 00:13:39,312
I think your girl should
start putting in some work

All right, you're
going too far with it.

No, I'm not. It's
happening every day.
316
00:17:20,373 --> 00:17:21,373
Plus, you lied to me.
317
00:17:21,457 --> 00:17:24,199
You said you were going to a
small house party, not Club 100.
318
00:17:24,418 --> 00:17:26,647
Well, if I'd said Club 100,
would you have still let me go?
319
00:17:26,671 --> 00:17:27,671
- Uh, no.
- Right.
320
00:17:27,713 --> 00:17:30,171
Because your fast ass
shouldn't be going there anyway.
321
00:17:30,633 --> 00:17:32,749
You know why they call
it "Club 100," Jennifer?
322
00:17:32,969 --> 00:17:35,427
Because that's all who
hang there. Gang members.
323
00:17:35,638 --> 00:17:38,380
Well, all you guys want me
to do is go to school, run track,
324
00:17:38,599 --> 00:17:40,359
and "set a good example
for the other girls."
325
00:17:40,518 --> 00:17:42,225
When did that
become a bad thing?
326
00:17:42,436 --> 00:17:45,474
I'm not Dad! I'm not you, and
I'm not the Queen of Garfield.
327
00:17:45,690 --> 00:17:47,522
No, no, this is not
about Dad or me
328
00:17:47,733 --> 00:17:49,690
or some silly name
they call you at school.
329
00:17:49,902 --> 00:17:52,798
It's about the fact that you're trying
to act grown when clearly you're not.
330
00:17:52,822 --> 00:17:54,422
Why are you being
such a bitch right now?
331
00:17:54,532 --> 00:17:56,022
Call me a bitch one more time.
332
00:17:56,242 --> 00:17:57,803
I just won't tell you next
time. How about that?
333
00:17:57,827 --> 00:17:59,113
You didn't tell me this time.
334
00:17:59,328 --> 00:18:01,911
You came up in this house
shaking because you were so scared.
335
00:18:02,123 --> 00:18:04,080
That's what told me. Now
you want to act all cool
336
00:18:04,292 --> 00:18:05,727
like it was just, what,
some great adventure?
337
00:18:05,751 --> 00:18:07,151
All right, I'm
already stressed out.
338
00:18:07,211 --> 00:18:08,522
- I can't with you right now.
- Okay.
339
00:18:08,546 --> 00:18:10,649
- Give me my phone, please.
- Okay, you're not getting your phone.
340
00:18:10,673 --> 00:18:11,287
Anissa.
341
00:18:11,507 --> 00:18:14,090
[news anchor] Dark clothes. If
anyone has any information...
342
00:18:14,302 --> 00:18:16,384
I'm not here to
talk about Club 100.
343
00:18:16,596 --> 00:18:18,212
We are here because
two police officers
344
00:18:18,431 --> 00:18:19,671
were viciously attacked tonight
345
00:18:19,765 --> 00:18:22,427
while on the job protecting
and serving this community,
346
00:18:22,643 --> 00:18:23,643
plain and simple.
347
00:18:23,811 --> 00:18:26,290
Witnesses say it looked a lot
like Black Lightning was involved
348
00:18:26,314 --> 00:18:27,770
at the incident at Club 100.
349
00:18:27,982 --> 00:18:29,251
[Inspector Henderson]
That's fake news...
350
00:18:29,275 --> 00:18:32,609
This is not a game.
This is real, Jen.
351
00:18:34,155 --> 00:18:38,319
We are looking for a
regular, human, black male,
352
00:18:38,534 --> 00:18:40,445
who was probably
hyped up on drugs.
353
00:18:40,661 --> 00:18:42,341
This assailant is
responsible for an attack
354
00:18:42,455 --> 00:18:44,271
on two of Freeland's
finest officers, not some...
355
00:18:44,283 --> 00:18:44,641
[grunts]
356
00:18:44,665 --> 00:18:46,281
I thought you were
done being a hero.
357
00:18:46,792 --> 00:18:47,792
I am.
358
00:18:48,461 --> 00:18:49,496
Doesn't look like it.
359
00:18:49,879 --> 00:18:51,085
Thanks for stitching me up.
360
00:18:51,547 --> 00:18:53,288
Luckily, it's just
a flesh wound.
361
00:18:53,507 --> 00:18:55,214
It doesn't feel
like a flesh wound.
362
00:18:56,886 --> 00:18:57,886
Nine years...
363
00:18:59,096 --> 00:19:02,589
It has been nine years since I've
even come close to using my powers.
364
00:19:02,808 --> 00:19:05,721
And each of those nine years
I've told you this city needs you.
365
00:19:06,187 --> 00:19:07,187
So what's next?
366
00:19:07,772 --> 00:19:10,639
What? If you mean Black
Lightning, there is no "next."
367
00:19:10,983 --> 00:19:12,565
No, my daughter is safe.
368
00:19:14,111 --> 00:19:16,193
Do you remember why
you became Black Lightning?
369
00:19:19,241 --> 00:19:21,152
You wanted to give
the people hope.
370
00:19:21,911 --> 00:19:24,869
You wanted the evil that's out
there to have something to fear.
371
00:19:25,289 --> 00:19:26,558
Right now there's
nothing to fear
372
00:19:26,582 --> 00:19:28,902
and evil's running rampant
like a plague through this city,
373
00:19:29,460 --> 00:19:31,326
hell, through this world.
374
00:19:31,545 --> 00:19:33,377
[sighs] Okay. You know what?
375
00:19:33,756 --> 00:19:37,044
Let's cut through the
poetry and just talk real.
376
00:19:37,426 --> 00:19:40,839
Now, the purpose of Black
Lightning was to kill Tobias
377
00:19:41,263 --> 00:19:45,052
for literally shoving my father's
articles down his throat until he died.
378
00:19:45,476 --> 00:19:49,891
Then it was because of crime
bosses, crooked politicians,
379
00:19:50,147 --> 00:19:51,808
every small-time street thug
380
00:19:52,024 --> 00:19:55,358
that had snatched a
purse or robbed a store.
381
00:19:55,611 --> 00:19:57,943
You see, there's no end, Gambi.
382
00:19:58,197 --> 00:20:00,689
There's no bottom
for Black Lightning.
383
00:20:01,283 --> 00:20:05,197
And the only loser
in all of it is... me.
384
00:20:05,705 --> 00:20:06,911
[Jefferson sighs]
385
00:20:07,498 --> 00:20:12,834
I feel like Lynn and I are making
room for a possibility of a reconciliation.
386
00:20:13,295 --> 00:20:16,413
Do you hear me? I have a shot
at putting my family back together.
387
00:20:17,842 --> 00:20:21,005
Black Lightning is not
gonna jeopardize that.
388
00:20:21,637 --> 00:20:24,095
[clicks tongue] I love
Lynn and those girls,
389
00:20:24,306 --> 00:20:25,967
but we knew this day would come.
390
00:20:26,976 --> 00:20:28,995
Jefferson, I've known you
since you were 12 years old.
391
00:20:29,019 --> 00:20:32,512
You're like my son, so I
have to tell you the truth.
392
00:20:34,191 --> 00:20:36,728
The promise you made
Lynn was well-intentioned,
393
00:20:38,028 --> 00:20:39,939
but it always had
an expiration date.
394
00:20:41,657 --> 00:20:44,445
[Lynn cries] Jeff, baby...
395
00:20:44,910 --> 00:20:46,400
I can't do this anymore, Jeff.
396
00:20:46,620 --> 00:20:50,204
I can't stay here with the girls
and just watch you kill yourself.
397
00:20:50,458 --> 00:20:52,950
I promise, no more.
398
00:20:55,504 --> 00:20:58,417
See, that's a curious
question. Why is he a vigilante
399
00:20:58,632 --> 00:21:00,672
while other communities
have folks with superpowers,
400
00:21:00,843 --> 00:21:02,709
and all of a sudden,
they're heroes?
401
00:21:02,928 --> 00:21:04,781
This shows you how, in this
country of nearly 400 years...
402
00:21:04,805 --> 00:21:05,805
Hey.
403
00:21:06,307 --> 00:21:06,539
Hey.
404
00:21:06,551 --> 00:21:08,507
There's a double standard
when it comes to us.
405
00:21:08,851 --> 00:21:11,639
You know, I was just thinking
about you on the drive over here.
406
00:21:12,021 --> 00:21:13,261
What were you thinking?
407
00:21:14,148 --> 00:21:17,058
Things you are not supposed
to say to your ex-wife.
408
00:21:17,070 --> 00:21:17,732
[chuckles]
409
00:21:18,319 --> 00:21:19,319
Everything Okay?
410
00:21:19,653 --> 00:21:21,644
Yeah. I just came over
to calm Jennifer down.
411
00:21:21,864 --> 00:21:23,070
She was pretty shaken up.
412
00:21:23,491 --> 00:21:24,491
Why? What happened?
413
00:21:25,034 --> 00:21:26,900
She was at Club 100
when that mess went down.
414
00:21:27,161 --> 00:21:28,777
- She was there?
- We tried calling you.
415
00:21:28,996 --> 00:21:30,452
We even tried
calling the school.
416
00:21:30,706 --> 00:21:32,809
[inhales deeply] I think we've
managed to calm ourselves down,
417
00:21:32,833 --> 00:21:34,233
but it was scary
hearing it, though.
418
00:21:34,418 --> 00:21:36,785
Damn. The board
had me hemmed up.
419
00:21:37,004 --> 00:21:38,124
I mean, they're trying to...
420
00:21:38,964 --> 00:21:41,877
It doesn't matter.
It doesn't matter.
421
00:21:42,134 --> 00:21:43,670
I tell you, these girls...
422
00:21:43,886 --> 00:21:46,486
I mean, one of 'em gets arrested,
the other's sneaking into clubs.
423
00:21:46,555 --> 00:21:50,514
As scary and dangerous as it was,
Jennifer was just being a teenager.
424
00:21:50,851 --> 00:21:53,593
Don't take it personal and don't
start having catastrophic thoughts.
425
00:21:53,854 --> 00:21:55,970
- Yeah, well, it's hard not to.
- I agree.
426
00:21:56,398 --> 00:21:57,751
When I think about what
could have happened,
427
00:21:57,775 --> 00:21:59,265
it makes me sick to my stomach.
428
00:22:00,486 --> 00:22:01,942
Now she knows what can happen.
429
00:22:02,613 --> 00:22:06,026
- You're right. You're right.
- [chuckles]
430
00:22:06,242 --> 00:22:07,528
Mmm, I better go.
431
00:22:07,910 --> 00:22:10,671
Oh, and I played bad parent tonight.
You know, did the whole speech...
432
00:22:10,788 --> 00:22:12,788
- Mmm-hmm.
- "You lied. You put yourself in danger.
433
00:22:12,998 --> 00:22:15,990
This speaks to your character.
No social media for a month."
434
00:22:16,210 --> 00:22:17,541
So you're good on that front.
435
00:22:17,753 --> 00:22:19,084
Wow. A month?
436
00:22:20,923 --> 00:22:21,628
You're not playing.
437
00:22:21,841 --> 00:22:24,629
No. No, I'm not. Not when it
comes to keeping them alive.
438
00:22:25,386 --> 00:22:26,386
Thank you.
439
00:22:28,472 --> 00:22:31,760
So, I was watching
the news tonight.
440
00:22:32,351 --> 00:22:34,467
And they were talking
about Black Lightning.
441
00:22:34,687 --> 00:22:37,850
- [scoffs] What were they saying?
- That he's back.
442
00:22:38,983 --> 00:22:39,983
Is he?
443
00:22:41,360 --> 00:22:44,898
Lynn, of course not.
You know better than that.
444
00:22:46,574 --> 00:22:48,485
I have saved more
lives as a principal
445
00:22:48,701 --> 00:22:52,069
than I ever would
have as Black Lightning.
446
00:22:52,788 --> 00:22:54,153
I'm not looking to go backwards.
447
00:22:54,373 --> 00:22:55,488
I pray that's true.
448
00:22:55,958 --> 00:22:56,958
It is.
449
00:22:57,209 --> 00:23:00,497
Good. 'Cause I don't ever wanna
see you like that again. Ever.
450
00:23:02,965 --> 00:23:04,501
It was too painful.
451
00:23:04,842 --> 00:23:09,086
You are talking like
someone who cares about me.
452
00:23:11,765 --> 00:23:13,096
I do care about you, Jeff.
453
00:23:15,769 --> 00:23:16,850
I do.
454
00:23:30,868 --> 00:23:32,279
You're not gonna find anything.
455
00:23:33,746 --> 00:23:36,238
Just a man who
wants his woman back.
456
00:23:39,084 --> 00:23:40,165
I should go.
457
00:23:42,338 --> 00:23:43,419
Yeah.
458
00:23:49,970 --> 00:23:51,381
- Drive safe.
- [car lock chirps]
459
00:23:56,101 --> 00:23:58,763
Daddy, why are you
bleeding so much?
460
00:23:59,021 --> 00:24:01,058
[Lynn] You may as
well be some crackhead.
461
00:24:01,482 --> 00:24:03,894
I want you out.
I want a divorce.
462
00:24:04,485 --> 00:24:05,850
You broke your promise.
463
00:24:08,113 --> 00:24:09,113
[groans]
464
00:24:13,035 --> 00:24:16,403
[Roland on TV] Look, you have
this fervor, this desire for a savior,
465
00:24:16,705 --> 00:24:21,074
and that speaks to how this system
has utterly failed the black community.
466
00:24:21,293 --> 00:24:24,581
Look, if Black Lightning is back,
this is a game changer for Freeland.
467
00:24:24,797 --> 00:24:28,665
[man] Tobias! Please!
Don't do this! Tobias!
468
00:24:28,884 --> 00:24:30,500
- [splashes]
- [muffled screaming]
469
00:24:30,719 --> 00:24:33,552
Hey, boss, you're gonna
wanna come take a look at this.
470
00:24:34,431 --> 00:24:37,674
[interviewer] Mr. Martin,
is Black Lightning back?
471
00:24:37,893 --> 00:24:39,930
Come on, what have you got?
472
00:24:40,145 --> 00:24:43,103
You've got people praying for
someone others call a vigilante
473
00:24:43,315 --> 00:24:44,521
to be back in this city,
474
00:24:44,733 --> 00:24:47,100
even though we haven't
confirmed if this rumor is true.
475
00:24:53,993 --> 00:24:57,406
H' Grey hoodies They
cover their heads N'.
476
00:24:58,455 --> 00:25:00,071
N' I can't see their faces N'.
477
00:25:00,290 --> 00:25:02,156
S.“ I can't see, see
See, see, see N'.
478
00:25:03,210 --> 00:25:04,371
N' They're near me N'
479
00:25:04,586 --> 00:25:07,419
[all laughing]
480
00:25:07,631 --> 00:25:08,245
What are you doing?
481
00:25:08,465 --> 00:25:11,127
[indistinct chatter]
482
00:25:11,343 --> 00:25:15,086
N' No need No need
to take from me N'.
483
00:25:15,347 --> 00:25:17,463
N' Don't throw
the paint on me H'.
484
00:25:17,725 --> 00:25:19,716
N' I see this lake formin' H'.
485
00:25:19,935 --> 00:25:21,391
N' I got lost astray N'
486
00:25:21,603 --> 00:25:22,934
[school bell ringing]
487
00:25:23,147 --> 00:25:24,763
Stan, I have not heard
from your parents.
488
00:25:24,982 --> 00:25:26,382
- Have them call me.
- Will do, sir.
489
00:25:26,483 --> 00:25:27,836
So, that's what this is
really all about, right?
490
00:25:27,860 --> 00:25:28,900
- The board thinks...
- No.
491
00:25:28,986 --> 00:25:31,273
The board wanting to put
metal detectors in the school.
492
00:25:31,488 --> 00:25:32,193
It's not about the metal...
493
00:25:32,406 --> 00:25:34,363
Oh, Kay, I have the
yearbook proofs in my office.
494
00:25:34,575 --> 00:25:35,360
- Come find me.
- Okay.
495
00:25:35,576 --> 00:25:37,012
Jefferson, it's not about
the metal detectors,
496
00:25:37,036 --> 00:25:38,513
it's about the safety
of the students.
497
00:25:38,537 --> 00:25:40,015
- "The safety of the students"?
- Yes.
498
00:25:40,039 --> 00:25:41,119
Is that what they told you?
499
00:25:41,790 --> 00:25:42,790
[scoffs]
500
00:25:43,459 --> 00:25:44,459
No, look...
501
00:25:44,626 --> 00:25:47,960
Now, I will not treat my
students like criminals.
502
00:25:48,172 --> 00:25:51,756
Do you realize almost all of
these kids know someone in prison?
503
00:25:51,967 --> 00:25:55,005
Yeah, their mothers, or
fathers, or their aunties, uncles.
504
00:25:55,345 --> 00:25:58,883
Now I will not turn my
school into another jail, Kara.
505
00:25:59,808 --> 00:26:01,014
I'll relay the message.
506
00:26:03,020 --> 00:26:04,020
Thank you.
507
00:26:06,899 --> 00:26:07,934
[sighs]
508
00:26:11,153 --> 00:26:12,153
[groans]
509
00:26:17,451 --> 00:26:20,284
[chuckles] You really
don't quit, do you, old man?
510
00:26:21,997 --> 00:26:23,829
When you're staring
down the barrel of a gun,
511
00:26:24,249 --> 00:26:28,163
you don't care if the person saving
you is a Christian, Muslim, Jew,
512
00:26:28,378 --> 00:26:29,584
black or white,
513
00:26:29,922 --> 00:26:32,914
or some guy in a weird
Parliament-Funkadelic getup.
514
00:26:33,133 --> 00:26:35,295
- "Parliament"?
- You just wanna be saved.
515
00:26:35,511 --> 00:26:37,093
- [robber] Hurry up, man!
- Here it is.
516
00:26:37,304 --> 00:26:40,046
I've watched this every year
on my birthday since then.
517
00:26:41,517 --> 00:26:43,133
[grunting]
518
00:26:48,732 --> 00:26:51,144
[yelling]
519
00:26:51,485 --> 00:26:54,227
I wouldn't have seen
my kids graduate college,
520
00:26:54,488 --> 00:26:56,104
the first black President,
521
00:26:56,448 --> 00:26:58,530
or my grandkids if it
wasn't for Black Lightning.
522
00:27:06,208 --> 00:27:09,417
- What are you even doing here?
- Jennifer, damn, girl, come on!
523
00:27:09,628 --> 00:27:11,960
I told you, I just wanna
make sure we were cool.
524
00:27:12,631 --> 00:27:15,043
Look, I saw your Instagram
and I zoomed in on your initials
525
00:27:15,259 --> 00:27:16,545
and you know, I found you.
526
00:27:16,760 --> 00:27:19,798
Okay, one, that's called
"stalking." And second, it's creepy.
527
00:27:20,013 --> 00:27:21,825
- Now get out of here, I'm serious.
- No, it's not! Yo, Jen...
528
00:27:21,849 --> 00:27:23,993
Stop! What the hell is wrong
with you? Get your hands off me!
529
00:27:24,017 --> 00:27:26,930
Damn! Why do black girls
gotta have so much attitude?
530
00:27:27,437 --> 00:27:29,757
What the hell is wrong with
you, grabbing on her like that?
531
00:27:29,815 --> 00:27:31,055
You need to get up out my face.
532
00:27:31,108 --> 00:27:32,394
You are not a student here
533
00:27:32,609 --> 00:27:35,192
and I'm asking you to
leave before I call the police.
534
00:27:35,404 --> 00:27:36,964
Bitch, I told you to
get out of my face.
535
00:27:37,156 --> 00:27:38,487
That's it. I'm
calling the police.
536
00:27:38,699 --> 00:27:39,699
The hell you not.
537
00:27:39,867 --> 00:27:41,153
[grunting]
538
00:27:41,368 --> 00:27:42,984
- [groans]
- [students screaming]
539
00:27:43,203 --> 00:27:44,203
[grunts]
540
00:27:48,792 --> 00:27:51,152
- [Anissa] Let's go now. Let's go.
- Whoa. Whoa, whoa, whoa!
541
00:27:51,336 --> 00:27:52,936
Now what happens
after you pull this gun?
542
00:27:53,630 --> 00:27:56,713
You going to shoot her?
In front of the entire school?
543
00:27:56,925 --> 00:27:58,165
You're on parole, right?
544
00:27:58,552 --> 00:28:01,510
Yeah, yeah. There are
cameras all over this place.
545
00:28:01,763 --> 00:28:04,505
Do you really wanna go back
to jail for a school shooting?
546
00:28:04,725 --> 00:28:06,966
'Cause that is life with
no possibility of getting out.
547
00:28:07,186 --> 00:28:08,706
You don't know who
you're messing with.
548
00:28:08,896 --> 00:28:10,386
You're right, I don't.
549
00:28:10,731 --> 00:28:14,520
But the police are already on their
way and they don't care who you are.
550
00:28:14,735 --> 00:28:16,601
They will shoot your
black ass for fun.
551
00:28:25,662 --> 00:28:28,450
This ain't over. Bet that.
552
00:28:39,426 --> 00:28:40,945
[Jefferson] What the
hell were you thinking?
553
00:28:40,969 --> 00:28:43,006
I mean, you not only
put yourselves in danger,
554
00:28:43,222 --> 00:28:44,303
but also the entire school.
555
00:28:44,514 --> 00:28:45,595
What was I supposed to do?
556
00:28:45,807 --> 00:28:47,673
You were supposed to
follow school protocol,
557
00:28:47,893 --> 00:28:49,804
call security, and walk away.
558
00:28:50,187 --> 00:28:52,303
It's been seven years
since I took over as principal.
559
00:28:52,648 --> 00:28:55,811
Seven years, and we haven't
had one incident of violence.
560
00:28:56,026 --> 00:28:57,312
Not one. And now this.
561
00:28:57,527 --> 00:29:00,645
If you haven't noticed, Dad,
violence is everywhere in Freeland.
562
00:29:00,864 --> 00:29:03,777
Did you really think it wasn't
gonna touch Garfield at some point?
563
00:29:03,992 --> 00:29:07,110
Either we help the community as a
whole or we will all go down in pieces.
564
00:29:07,329 --> 00:29:10,617
No. No, this is not about one of
your political diatribes right now.
565
00:29:10,832 --> 00:29:12,072
It's not about the community.
566
00:29:12,334 --> 00:29:13,620
A community, I might remind you,
567
00:29:13,835 --> 00:29:15,795
I've been fighting for
since before you were born.
568
00:29:15,921 --> 00:29:19,039
This is about me trying to
keep my daughters alive. Period.
569
00:29:19,258 --> 00:29:21,590
[school bell ringing]
570
00:29:22,135 --> 00:29:23,296
What happened, Dad?
571
00:29:24,263 --> 00:29:26,049
When did you
abandon your people?
572
00:29:29,518 --> 00:29:31,259
Love you. Anissa.
573
00:29:35,774 --> 00:29:37,981
[indistinct chatter]
574
00:29:48,412 --> 00:29:49,493
Mr. Jefferson.
575
00:29:50,122 --> 00:29:51,122
Latavious.
576
00:29:51,164 --> 00:29:53,246
Wow. "Latavious."
577
00:29:54,084 --> 00:29:56,621
Nobody's called me that
since I graduated from Garfield.
578
00:29:57,462 --> 00:29:59,294
I'm kinda busy, so
let's jump right in.
579
00:30:00,215 --> 00:30:03,628
I heard what happened with Will.
Not cool, especially at the school.
580
00:30:03,885 --> 00:30:04,885
Yes, exactly.
581
00:30:04,970 --> 00:30:08,008
Now I've had an unwritten
agreement for years with all the gangs.
582
00:30:08,223 --> 00:30:11,636
Garfield is a safe zone,
right? He broke that.
583
00:30:12,102 --> 00:30:13,871
Now I'm trying not to
drag the police into this
584
00:30:13,895 --> 00:30:15,806
because I do not
want things to escalate.
585
00:30:16,023 --> 00:30:20,108
But I need you to keep
Will away from my girls,
586
00:30:20,652 --> 00:30:21,767
and away from Garfield.
587
00:30:22,195 --> 00:30:23,230
Will's my cousin.
588
00:30:24,406 --> 00:30:26,317
He's been kinda lost
since he got out of jail.
589
00:30:27,034 --> 00:30:29,526
But you ain't trying
to hear all that. I get it.
590
00:30:30,537 --> 00:30:31,537
Hey, come here.
591
00:30:32,664 --> 00:30:35,452
You late. The
van's gone already.
592
00:30:36,460 --> 00:30:38,451
This is Mr. Jefferson.
I went to his school.
593
00:30:39,004 --> 00:30:39,618
Hey.
594
00:30:39,838 --> 00:30:42,751
Come on, man. You
know that's not how we do.
595
00:30:43,008 --> 00:30:44,840
Look at Mr. Jefferson
in the eyes.
596
00:30:45,052 --> 00:30:46,588
Shake his hand and
introduce yourself.
597
00:30:47,804 --> 00:30:50,364
Hey, Mr. Jefferson. My name's
Malik. It's a pleasure to meet you.
598
00:30:50,599 --> 00:30:51,879
It's a pleasure
to meet you, too.
599
00:30:52,100 --> 00:30:54,967
Whoo! That's what
I'm talking about. Yeah.
600
00:30:55,562 --> 00:30:56,562
Everything Okay?
601
00:30:56,688 --> 00:30:58,474
- Yeah, everything's cool.
- Excellent.
602
00:30:59,524 --> 00:31:01,185
{gasps} -Latavious.
603
00:31:01,401 --> 00:31:03,361
'Cause I was told that
you spent most of yesterday
604
00:31:03,487 --> 00:31:05,228
playing video
games in your phone.
605
00:31:06,114 --> 00:31:08,902
What pisses me off is when
you don't give it your best, Malik.
606
00:31:09,493 --> 00:31:11,472
When you don't put
in the effort to succeed.
607
00:31:11,484 --> 00:31:11,700
Ow.
608
00:31:12,120 --> 00:31:15,613
There's a time to play games and
there's a time to focus on reality.
609
00:31:15,832 --> 00:31:18,039
- And the reality of the situation is...
- Latavious...
610
00:31:18,251 --> 00:31:20,663
While you got your mind
buried in them video games,
611
00:31:20,921 --> 00:31:23,458
them white boys up in them
neighborhoods that you selling in
612
00:31:23,673 --> 00:31:26,040
are being prepared to run
the world and your black ass!
613
00:31:26,343 --> 00:31:27,708
Okay, Latavious, that is enough!
614
00:31:27,969 --> 00:31:29,209
You know my damn name!
615
00:31:32,265 --> 00:31:33,346
Now say it.
616
00:31:37,396 --> 00:31:38,396
Say it.
617
00:31:41,358 --> 00:31:42,358
Lala.
618
00:31:43,068 --> 00:31:45,184
Never put your
hands on me again.
619
00:31:47,030 --> 00:31:49,362
You teach them your
way and I teach them mine.
620
00:31:52,411 --> 00:31:53,411
Give me your phone.
621
00:31:58,125 --> 00:32:01,334
Go get that broom. I
want these floors swept.
622
00:32:01,920 --> 00:32:03,640
And don't even ask me
about your damn phone.
623
00:32:07,509 --> 00:32:08,920
I'm gonna do you this favor.
624
00:32:10,303 --> 00:32:11,759
But that means you owe me.
625
00:32:12,722 --> 00:32:13,722
We good?
626
00:32:14,933 --> 00:32:15,933
We good.
627
00:32:20,272 --> 00:32:21,888
That's a nice suit, man.
628
00:32:23,525 --> 00:32:24,981
Real nice suit.
629
00:32:53,305 --> 00:32:55,546
All right, ladies.
Homework. Let me...
630
00:32:56,016 --> 00:32:57,016
[students gasping]
631
00:32:57,058 --> 00:32:59,265
Excuse me? I'm talking to you.
632
00:33:00,645 --> 00:33:02,832
- [Will] Remember me?
- I'm not afraid of The One Hundred.
633
00:33:02,856 --> 00:33:05,188
- Bitch, you should be!
- Get your hands off of her!
634
00:33:05,400 --> 00:33:06,686
Let's go. Come on!
635
00:33:06,902 --> 00:33:08,017
- Jen!
- Anissa.
636
00:33:08,278 --> 00:33:10,064
Don't! Wait, don't take them!
637
00:33:24,085 --> 00:33:26,702
This could literally turn into a
mess if we're not careful, Lynn.
638
00:33:26,922 --> 00:33:28,024
Now, let me at least confirm
639
00:33:28,048 --> 00:33:29,817
that they're at the Seahorse
Motel before we go in.
640
00:33:29,841 --> 00:33:31,752
How long does "confirm"
take, Henderson?
641
00:33:31,968 --> 00:33:34,926
We're talking about our
daughters here. Our daughters.
642
00:33:35,263 --> 00:33:37,575
I should just go over there and
talk to someone my damn self.
643
00:33:37,599 --> 00:33:38,599
Talk to who?
644
00:33:39,684 --> 00:33:40,684
Who, Jeff?
645
00:33:41,186 --> 00:33:44,266
We're at this point right now 'cause
you didn't talk to me in the first place.
646
00:33:46,274 --> 00:33:47,274
I'm sorry.
647
00:33:48,818 --> 00:33:49,853
It's not your fault.
648
00:33:50,070 --> 00:33:53,779
Now, come on, man, let me
take care of it. Let me do my job.
649
00:33:55,116 --> 00:33:56,116
Okay-
650
00:33:57,827 --> 00:33:58,827
Okay-
651
00:34:07,045 --> 00:34:08,331
Jeff, where are you going?
652
00:34:10,423 --> 00:34:11,709
To get our girls.
653
00:34:14,886 --> 00:34:15,886
Bring them home.
654
00:34:28,316 --> 00:34:30,273
The One Hundred have
Jennifer and Anissa.
655
00:34:31,444 --> 00:34:32,559
Head downstairs.
656
00:34:52,299 --> 00:34:53,835
I've been working
on something new.
657
00:34:58,263 --> 00:34:59,549
Something better.
658
00:35:08,148 --> 00:35:09,730
[suit powering up]
659
00:35:13,820 --> 00:35:15,231
[electricity crackling]

[powering up]
662
00:35:54,069 --> 00:35:55,309
So your dumb ass thought
663
00:35:55,528 --> 00:35:57,448
that bringing them here
was actually a good idea?
664
00:35:57,530 --> 00:35:58,530
Yes!
665
00:35:59,783 --> 00:36:01,023
[groans]
666
00:36:01,242 --> 00:36:02,824
These ain't no
ordinary girls, man!
667
00:36:03,370 --> 00:36:05,327
Their father's like
Black Jesus to Freeland!
668
00:36:05,789 --> 00:36:06,995
You know damn well
669
00:36:07,207 --> 00:36:09,407
that you don't make a move
like this without permission.
670
00:36:10,377 --> 00:36:11,457
No, I was just trying to...
671
00:36:11,670 --> 00:36:13,081
-[grunting] {groaning}
672
00:36:13,338 --> 00:36:15,375
[gunfire in distance]
673
00:36:15,924 --> 00:36:18,507
See what I mean? It's
been, like, what, huh,
674
00:36:18,718 --> 00:36:20,613
at least five years since
I took over this place,
675
00:36:20,637 --> 00:36:23,550
and we ain't had no
violence here? Now look.
676
00:36:24,891 --> 00:36:25,926
Handle that.
677
00:36:26,685 --> 00:36:28,892
- Murk these girls and make them disappear.
- [crying]
678
00:36:29,562 --> 00:36:30,802
And you do the same.
679
00:36:34,234 --> 00:36:35,599
[thugs snickering]
680
00:36:46,371 --> 00:36:47,371
[gasping]
681
00:36:48,707 --> 00:36:49,707
[groans]

[girls sobbing]
684
00:37:09,894 --> 00:37:10,894
Nice suit.
685
00:37:11,396 --> 00:37:12,932
[girls gasping]
686
00:37:14,607 --> 00:37:15,607
[exhales]
687
00:37:16,818 --> 00:37:18,684
Now you should at least
give a brother a moment
688
00:37:18,903 --> 00:37:20,735
to say something
heroically clever.
689
00:37:22,866 --> 00:37:24,356
Now you've just pissed me off.
690
00:37:25,535 --> 00:37:26,535
Let's go, Jen!
691
00:37:26,995 --> 00:37:28,736
[groaning]
692
00:37:35,086 --> 00:37:36,201
[gasping]
693
00:37:36,421 --> 00:37:38,412
- Where is Lala?
- I don't know!
694
00:37:38,631 --> 00:37:39,792
'[Qrunts] '[9l'0aning]
695
00:37:40,008 --> 00:37:41,008
Boy!
696
00:37:41,968 --> 00:37:44,960
Now, I'm only gonna
ask you one more time.
697
00:37:45,180 --> 00:37:46,466
Where's Lala?
698
00:37:46,681 --> 00:37:48,137
[sobs] I don't know, man!
699
00:37:51,102 --> 00:37:52,102
Is that your car?
700
00:37:52,854 --> 00:37:53,854
[grunts]
701
00:37:54,939 --> 00:37:55,939
Yeah.
702
00:37:56,816 --> 00:37:57,851
It was nice.
703
00:37:59,319 --> 00:38:00,354
[shouts]
704
00:38:03,656 --> 00:38:04,737
[groans feebly]
705
00:38:06,201 --> 00:38:09,660
- [sirens blaring]
- [men grunting]
706
00:38:09,954 --> 00:38:12,912
[officer] Get over
here! Move! Move!
707
00:38:13,124 --> 00:38:15,582
They were holding us in that
room up there. Right there!
708
00:38:18,671 --> 00:38:20,503
[electricity crackling]
709
00:38:33,686 --> 00:38:34,847
[tires screeching]
710
00:39:07,053 --> 00:39:08,053
[smooches]
711
00:39:11,057 --> 00:39:13,048
- Hey, boss, you know, I...
- [shushing]
712
00:39:17,397 --> 00:39:18,683
'[9l'0ans] '[laughter]
713
00:39:18,898 --> 00:39:20,388
Damn!
714
00:39:20,608 --> 00:39:23,145
Do you believe in the
Resurrection, Latavious?
715
00:39:23,570 --> 00:39:25,450
- I asked you a question.
- [continues groaning]
716
00:39:25,572 --> 00:39:26,937
Do you believe in
the Resurrection?
717
00:39:27,323 --> 00:39:30,782
The concept itself is beautiful,
but it's a complete fantasy.
718
00:39:31,369 --> 00:39:32,734
I killed Black Lightning.
719
00:39:32,954 --> 00:39:34,874
-[groaning] -But it seems
you and whoever this is
720
00:39:34,914 --> 00:39:38,623
have developed an adversarial
relationship that's bad for my business.
721
00:39:39,168 --> 00:39:40,533
[groaning loudly]
722
00:39:42,255 --> 00:39:46,340
My question is, can you
take care of this problem,
723
00:39:46,551 --> 00:39:50,385
or should I just kill you
now and solve it myself?
724
00:39:58,479 --> 00:40:00,186
[girls sobbing]
725
00:40:04,444 --> 00:40:07,482
It's okay. It's
okay, you're okay.
726
00:40:58,122 --> 00:40:59,612
[sighs]
727
00:41:03,628 --> 00:41:04,834
[sniffles]
728
00:41:06,464 --> 00:41:07,795
Thank you.
729
00:41:10,385 --> 00:41:11,591
You're welcome.
730
00:41:14,806 --> 00:41:16,467
But it's not over yet.
731
00:41:20,061 --> 00:41:22,039
-[gunshot] -[Anissa] I'm not
afraid of The One Hundred!
732
00:41:22,063 --> 00:41:23,463
[Will echoing]
Bitch, you should be!
733
00:41:28,861 --> 00:41:30,741
[Lala] Mark these girls
and make them disappear.
734
00:41:30,822 --> 00:41:32,622
[Will] What if it's that
Black Lightning dude?
735
00:41:32,865 --> 00:41:34,745
[Black Lightning] Now
you've just pissed me off!
736
00:41:35,660 --> 00:41:37,196
[labored breathing]
737
00:41:37,412 --> 00:41:39,198
[Lala] These ain't no
ordinary girls, man!
