[Jefferson] Previously
on Black Lightning...

[Anissa] Hey, you okay?

I'm fine.

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

Fourteen of the
vaccine kids will survive.

I got past the
briefcase's firewall. Look.

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

Now it all begins.

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

When it ended, I
went to Markovia

to create a meta
program for them.

I already know there's
metahumans in the clinic.

But no one but me
knows where they are.

[Dr. Jace] You get these metas,

and you will have more
power than you ever imagined.

[screaming]

[chuckles] I told you I'd
always have your back.

[flatlining]

I'm sorry. I... [sighs]

I just think Jen
needs more space.

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

That's a lot.

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

She said she wanted
time to be by herself.

To smoke?

I know.

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

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

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

Isolation feeds
depression and addiction.

I just think she needs
her family right now.

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

But what if it's not true?

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

-[gunshot fires]

[Lynn] Anissa! Oh, my God.

Get off me!

[tires screech]

Baby! Get off me!

No!

[shots firing]

Anissa!

- [¢ryin9]
- [Anissa groans]

[tires screeching]

Oh, my God. Don't move.

I'm okay.

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

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

[panting] Okay.

Stay there.

[ringing]

- [Lynn] Jeff?
- Hey.

So, we still stalling
or can we go back?

We've been attacked.

Wait. [Stammering] What?
Who? Where are you?

At the grocery store lot.

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

Okay, get off the
streets. Use the tunnels.

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

- Remember how to use it?
- I remember.

I'll meet you there.

N' Last night I saw a
superhero He was black N'.

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

[sighs wearily]

I know he really loved you.

I loved him, too.

Oh. [Clears throat]

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

if you need any help

planning the funeral,
please call me, okay?

Jennifer, truth is...

I can't afford to bury him.

Barely even an inch in.

You must have
instinctively held your breath

and gone dense, stopping it.

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

I figured that out for myself.

[Lynn] I'm gonna put
some ointment on it.

The only way Odell
could have been there

is if he has Lynn
under surveillance.

Son of a bitch.

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

My system's doing a remote sweep

for listening devices
inside the house.

[computer beeping]

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

Well, why would somebody
want to take Mom?

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

some of whom have died.

We have to think about Tobias.

Because of Khalil?

Because every messed-up
thing that happens in Freeland

could have Tobias behind it.

It could be Odell.

What? Playing us? So
that she feels beholden?

Damn.

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

I think Lynn should
just go and talk with him.

Uh-uh.

She's valuable to him.
His actions show that.

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

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

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

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

Make it quick.

Why are you having me followed?

Are you following my whole
family? My research team?

And here I thought you
were happy to be alive

and came here to thank
me for saving your life.

I do thank you.

How's your daughter?

She's fine.

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

Fortunate.

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

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

Kavanaugh.

[9 runts]

Pods are all situated. Subjects
inside are still breathing.

How is the crew
that moved the pods?

Took a one-way trip with Cutter.

Nobody else knows
about their location.

Excellent.

[Anissa groans]

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

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

[sighs] Because me and Mom got
jumped, and I got caught slipping.

They shot me and
almost kidnapped Mom.

Oh, my God!

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

Anything could've
happened to Mom.

It's not gonna
happen again. No way.

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

I let Tobias kill Khalil.

Mm-mmm. That is not on you.

How you doing?

[scoffs] How am I doing?

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

[Anissa sighs]

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

I know about pain.

Know this, Jen.

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

And loss, loss
makes you appreciate.

You know what I'm saying?

Maybe someday.

[sighs]

You'll see.

I don't know.

I went to see Khalil's mom.

She's just a big ball of pain.

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

[sighs]

I'm worried about Jen.

Yeah. Me, too.

She's grieving hard, Jeff.

I know.

She's craving
vengeance just as hard.

[sighs]

Yeah, I know the look.

- I know.
- She needs a distraction.

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

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

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

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

Yeah, true, but...

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

I think we should
talk to Perenna.

At least if she goes
back to high school,

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

What do you mean, "be normal"?

[Lynn sighs]

How the hell would I know?

I married you.

What did you just say?

[knocking on door]

YES?

Dad, I'm ready to
take down Tobias.

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

Jen...

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

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

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

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

Yes, I do.

Jennifer, the power
to do amazing things

comes with the responsibility
to do the right thing.

Revenge is not the
right thing, justice is.

Ever heard of an eye for an eye?

For a guy like Tobias,
revenge is justice.

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

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

Khalil...

God rest his soul...

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

You don't want to
make a similar mistake.

And I know...

I know he wouldn't
want that for you.

[door opening]

[door closes]

Good evening.

We have a problem.

The Markovians are in Freeland,

and they tried to
kidnap Dr. Stewart.

They want her
metahuman expertise.

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

- Unknown at this time.
- Damn it.

We can protect you.

If? There's always an if.

Markovian intelligence is nothing
if not ruthless and committed.

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

If you can safely
move the pod kids,

you will be protected
and relocated.

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

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

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

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

You scared me.

Is there something
you want to say to me?

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

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

So are you upset
with me about it?

We're not doing this
right now, Jefferson.

Come on. What?

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

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

[scoffs]

Fine.

Fine. I'm going back up.

Jeff... [sighs]

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

But you're not one of them.

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

[sighs]

I love you, too.

- Good night.
- Good night.

Kate said there's a new admit?

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

Nope. Room three.

Hi.

I'm here to get
you started, okay?

I'm Anissa Pierce.

I'm Monique.

Last name, Monique?

Just Monique.

0K3'!

0K3'!

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

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

Do you have a headache?

No.

Blurry or double vision?

- No.
- Good. Good.

Now, how did this happen?

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

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

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

I told you, I don't know.

Maybe I just blacked
out or something.

"Or something"?

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

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

All right.

A doctor will be right in.

[door opens and closes]

We don't log her in.

Why not?

She lives with this guy Rayvon.

He's a capo in The
One Hundred gang.

We all look the other way,

we all get to live.

It sucks but what can we do?

[man] Metahuman target sighted.

[men groaning]

- [wind blowing]
- [men groaning, shivering]

[bell ringin9]

[girl] Hey.

Thank you, boo. Thank you.

[beeping]

You're good. You can go.

- Hey.
- Hey. [Chuckles]

What's up?

- Hi!
- Hey. How are you doing?

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

- [girl] good to see you!
- You too. Hello!

[indistinct chatter]

Good to see y'all.

[door opens]

0h, I'm so happy
| QaVe you a key.

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

Yes, I am not sleeping
through my day off.

[yawns]

[Anissa] Where...
Where'd you get this from?

Um, the store I work in?

Wait. So they have
Black Lightning comics?

Yes. Thunder, too.

What?

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

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

0K3'!
- [clears throat]

What?

[indistinct chatter]

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

[9 runts]

- Get him!
- Get him, man!

[men groaning]

[men grunting]

I heard of you.

Yeah, the streets
call you the Black Bird.

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

I didn't come here
for the money.

But thank you.

[both grunt]

[choking]

- Rayvon.
- Get back, sis.

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

Come on, put 'em on me.

[chuckles] Let me
give you some advice.

Don't make me come back here.

[both grunting]

[coughing]

[shouting]

N' This time It ain't
a game, yeah N'

[all grunting]

N' On fire With the
little flame, yeah N'.

N' This time It ain't
a game, yeah N'.

N' Lebron James Coming
through lanes, yeah N'.

N' Y'all better Switch
out your plays, yeah N'.

N' On fire With the
little flame, yeah N'.

N' This time It ain't
a game, yeah N'.

H' I'm MJ With the
six rings, yeah N'.

N' Y'all better Switch

N' On fire With the

N' This time It ain't

N' Lebron James Coming

N' Y'all better Switch

N' On fire With the
little flame, yeah N'.

N' Coach said It's my time N'.

N' He had The
game on the line N'.

Kill that bitch!

'[9runts] "[3" groan]

[indistinct chatter]

Hey. No, don't take this down.

Stop. Don't take
this down. Please.

[man] Principal
says take it down.

[exhales shakily]

- [Gambi] Anissa.
- Hmm?

Anissa?

[Anissa sighs]

[exhales] Tough night.

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

Oh, I'm an idiot.

I'm doing all the things...

All the things Dad
said would get me killed.

You wanna do good. I get it.

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

if you lost your life.

Yeah. I am.

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

before you had a
chance to really build it.

[bell ringin9]

[indistinct chatter]

- I'm so sorry.
- Thank you.

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

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

What's this doing here?

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

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

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

You can hide behind the
handbook and all your rules,

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

Or any of us, do you?

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

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

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

- [students agreeing]
- Khalil's life mattered.

[students agreeing]

You're out of line.

[Jennifer scoffs]

- You're a racist.
- [students] Yeah.

Okay, isn't that convenient.

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

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

Now, you take
this down right now,

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

You can't remove him from us.

You can't make us
not remember him.

Every single person standing
here is just one bad break away

from becoming somebody
they never meant to be.

[students agreeing]

This is your last chance.

Can anyone here say
that if they were crippled

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

[students murmuring]

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

Just like the kids
on the news, right?

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

run by people like you.

[students] Yeah!

Take her.

All right, come on.

Clear a path. Let's go.

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

[Principal Lowry] No, no, no,
no, no. No kneeling in, now.

And let's put the
cell phones away.

[students clamoring]

Put the phones away.

You know this is an
illegal assembly, right?

You are in violation of
your student handbook.

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

Sounds like the principal's job.

[students chuckling]

[door opens]

Are you kidding me
with this crazy bitch?

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

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

We don't need her.

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

If you were able to
continue the present course.

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

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

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

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

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

Affirmative.

[organ playing]

You...

I didn't believe you were real.

It's for Khalil's funeral.

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

Here.

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

The driver on Lynn's
kidnapping attempt...

Yuri Bakonov.

He's a member of the
Markovian Intelligence Service.

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

Well, because they're
especially ambitious and brutal.

Okay, so why would
Markovia want to kidnap Lynn?

You can ask him yourself.

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

Satellites show only
five guards, lightly armed.

Then, he's mine.

[toasting in Markovian]

[electricity crackling]

- [electricity crackling]
- [man screaming]

[9 runts]

[screaming]

[screaming]

Kill him!

[shots firing]

[shots continue firing]

[men groaning]

[cell phone vibrating]

Uh, excuse me for a minute.

Yeah?

Hey, I got something for you.

Well, actually, someone.

We're talking attempted
murder and kidnapping.

Just had the first of
his three surgeries.

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

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

She's moved out.

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

Wow.

Nice.

[indistinct chatter]

Everything seems to be in order.

[clears throat] You called
security on my daughter.

Give this to Jamie
in accounting.

Did you come here to hit me?

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

To make matters worse,

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

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

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

Now, Jennifer is
just questioning

whether you have the perspective

and the sensitivity
for this community.

- So are a lot of kids and teachers.
- A|| right.

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

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

And that is the most
racist idea out there.

-[chuckles] -No, no, no. Your
father was a respected journalist.

Mine was a heroin addict,

and my mother 0D'd
while my father watched.

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

That's what these
kids are facing.

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

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

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

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

Good talk.

[indistinct chatter]

[Grace] Okay, next
time I pick the movie.

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

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

Oh, my God. Look.

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

Whoa'.!

[laughing]

Wow!

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

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

plain thirsty about life.

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

- Can't wait to get to know you better.
- [chuckles]

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

And I never press. I
always respect your privacy.

Okay. Hold on. Maybe
that came off wrong.

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

Hey. Your eyes,
they change color?

Huh? What?

[coughing]

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

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

Yeah, I guess it was the
light. [Chuckles nervously]

Hmm. Hey...

I've been thinking
a lot about us.

And I want you
to meet my family.

Can you come to dinner?

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

Babe, I haven't even said when.

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

I know, and it is amazing.

No, you don't understand.

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

I have to go.

Did I say something wrong?

Grace! What did I do?

[beeping]

There are tactical teams
jumping folks in Freeland.

Anything about that
on the briefcase?

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

So, according to the briefcase,

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

Leavenworth. Then the ASA
took their successful subjects.

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

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

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

[Todd] Fingerprints are a match.

Those Leavenworth
subjects turned covert assets?

They're the exact same people

inside those pods we took
out of that clinic basement.

[chuckles] Perfect.

Good work.

Yeah.

[somber music playing]

N' The hardest thing I have
learnt is I can't help myself N'.

N' I can't trust my world
And I can't trust my words N'.

N' Accepting it's not my fault
But I'm the one to blame N'.

N' And I know I've
got to change N'.

N' No, I'm not ashamed N'.

N' You've given me
All of your time N'

[thunder rumbling]

N' You've been there
For all of my... N'.

- We should go.
- No.

[Lynn] Jennifer...

I can't do it. I can't see
him lowered into the ground.

- Jen...
- Baby...

You need to keep calm.

I'm not getting out.

If I stay in the car,
then it won't be real.

- Baby...
- No.

Look at me.

No matter how much the
world hurts, you're still a Pierce.

You say yes. We say yes.

We say yes because it matters.

We say yes because
we honor those we love,

because we're
loyal to their memory,

because we do not give
up on them or ourselves.

Right?

Yes.

[thunder rumbling]

N' So don't you wonder
why I won't say goodbye N'.

N' I won't even cry It will
all make Sense tomorrow N'.

H' Why I can't
sleep at night N'.

N' I won't even cry N'.

N' It will all Make
sense tomorrow N'.

N' I've said what I can N'.

N' But do you hear it?
Do I know who I am? N'.

N' Will you believe me That
I won't do you wrong? N'.

N' That's what I've
done All along, oh N'.

N' By finding myself
I nearly lost it all N'.

N' By fighting your help
I thought I knew it all N'.

N' I'm lying alone And
now I know it all N'.

N' So don't you wonder
why I won't say goodbye N'.

N' I won't even cry N'.

N' It will all Make
sense tomorrow N'.

H' Why I can't
sleep at night N'.

Grace?

N' It will all Make
sense tomorrow N'.

Grace, it's me.

N' Bye, cry N'.

N' It will all Make
sense tomorrow N'.

N' Why, bye N'

s: Cry n'.

N' It will all Make
sense tomorrow N'

[machinery beeping]

Are you sure about this?

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

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

How soon before you
get these cans open?

Actually, I have no idea.

Excuse me?

[stammers] Boss,
this tech is ancient.

I mean, literally
nuts and bolts.

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

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

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

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

[mechanism whirring]

I'm gonna put Tobias
Whale in the ground.

Just like you are.

[exhales]

[closing theme music playing]
