[Jefferson] Previously
on Black Lightning...

[Gambi] Tobias just unleashed a
different kind of meta on Freeland

for some kind of demonstration.

I think he's created
a mercenary army.

There were four of them.

They called themselves
the Masters of Disaster.

[Tobias] How are they?

[Dr. Jace] They're actually better
than they've ever been before.

Good. How long until they can be
awakened and join the prison metas?

It's done. What's next?

Freeland, huh?

[Agent Odell] Every meta-human
in Freeland is in danger.

Wendy could prove to
be more revolutionary

than the tank or
the machine gun.

There's nothing but
pain for me in this life.

And who do you blame for that?

Tobias Whale.

Where Tobias goes,

heartache is sure to follow.

Then maybe he's better off dead.

[Jennifer] I'm gonna
make him pay.

I'm gonna put Tobias
Whale in the ground.

[Gambi] It's Jen. She's here...

She's wearing the
suit. It's not ready.

[9 runts]

[Lightning] I will find you.

[screaming]

[screaming]

Don't shoot. Please,
man, it's cool. It's cool.

It don't look cool.

Just tell me one thing.
Are you with Tobias Whale?

Definitely not
with Tobias Whale.

- Jen.
- [Lightning whimpering]

Jennifer, it's your
Uncle Gambi. I'm here.

People, Jennifer has a critical
situation. Lock in on my location.

[Black Lightning over
radio] On my way.

[Thunder] I'm coming.

It's okay. It's gonna be okay,
sweetheart. You hear me, Jen?

Go to your safe space.

[Gambi screams]

[Perenna] You have
to get out of here. Hurry.

What about you?

I'm not really here, just a
manifestation of your mind,

and you can't be here either.

Get out of yourself, now.

How?

The answer is already...

Is already inside
of me. I know that.

I'm literally dying here.

All right. Bat your
eyelashes and curl your toes.

How is that gonna help?

Flexing your power is as simple

as finding the right
muscle and flexing it.

So feel it. Flex it. Pull it in.

And get the hell out of here!

[Gambi screaming]

[device beeping rapidly]

[Lightning] Uncle Gambi?

Uncle Gambi?

Uncle Gambi, wake up. Wake up.

Uncle Gambi, wake up.

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

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

[Black Lightning] Jennifer.

What happened? Are you okay?

He tried to help me,
but I think he's dead.

[Black Lightning] No, no. I
can see he still has a pulse.

Lynn, I found Gambi
unconscious with radiation burns.

Oh, my God. He needs a doctor.

That would raise
a lot of questions.

No, he's not that bad. I'll
give him a shot for the pain.

- Are you sure?
- I'm positive.

Okay. Put Gambi in
the van. You go with 'em.

- Tell the van to take you to the sanctum.
- Okay.

Make sure they get there.
Make sure she stays there.

I'll take care of Gambi,
but what about you?

Tobias bugged out.
I wanna check it out

and see if he left any
evidence behind that'll stick.

- Go.
- [Thunder] All right.

I'll hit you when we get
there. Come on. All right.

Yeah, I don't give a
damn who the hell it was.

Running me out of my own building
because a dead man is comin'.

I don't run from dead
men, I make 'em.

You need to shut up or
thank me. One or the other.

You gotta have a plan when you deal
with a meta-human or an enhanced.

[Cutter sighs]

[Tobias] Maybe you're right.

I've killed Black Lightning
and I've had him killed,

but that bastard keeps
comin' back to cost me.

He cost me Joey Toledo,
he cost me Syonide,

- now he wants to cost me this city.
- [cell phone chimes]

District Attorney
just announced...

no charges for the cops
that shot that Cape Guy.

- It's typical.
- Hmm.

This boy's death
is an opportunity.

The community could
really explode over this

like LA did in the '90s.

All it needs is a little push.

The whole city
will be on its knees.

While we send metas
to reclaim the pods.

Yeah, and Black Lightning
is sure to show up.

But I'm done with
him takin' from me.

This time, I'm gonna
take his powers from him.

I'm positive he generates his
power from the city's power grid.

Send Coldsnap to freeze the main
generator until there's complete darkness.

Then I'm takin'
his life for good.

- [Lightning grunts]
- [objects clattering]

- [Gambi groans]
- Dad, we're in.

[Black Lightning]
Good. Stay put.

Will do.

Damn.

I thought the
Markovians had you.

- Lynn.
- Yes, Jeff?

You are not gonna
believe what I just found.

I have your GPS. I'm on my way.

You think he's gonna be okay?

Shoot

I wouldn't be surprised if
he told us he was Batman.

He'll be fine, all right?

You know, this is another
one I owe Tobias for.

Look, you're right, baby sis, but I
need you to calm down, all right?

No, I'm fine. I'm...

Seeing him out of the blue like
that kind of caught me off guard.

But it's cool. I'm not
gonna blow us up.

Good, 'cause I got stuff to do.

Yeah, I know, Harriet.

Or should I say Blackbird?

Well, I kind of like
Blackbird. She cool, right?

You're such an overachiever.

It's not enough you're in medical
school, you gotta be two superheroes.

Or maybe just one now,
'cause of Dad's code.

Nah, Blackbird is needed.

But I will start planning better

and stop lone-wolfing it.

- You know, I can roll with you.
- [Gambi gasping]

Anissa.

Oh, he's burning up.

- Look, I'm gonna give him some ibuprofen.
- What...

I need you to get some
ice bags out the freezer.

We gotta get his
temperature down.

- Quick, all right?
- [Jennifer] Okay.

All right, stay with
me, Uncle Gambi.

[laughs] Don't you worry.
I'll handle my business.

You just don't know
how to play chess.

Never did. I know
what I'm doing.

What?

I set off violence in
strategic spots across the city.

Handpicked members
of the One Hundred

are snatching motorists out of
cars and setting stores on fire.

And non-One Hundred
members are joining in.

Of course they are.

[Tobias laughing]

You know that's true.
Ignorant, weak-ass fools.

Baby, maybe you need to get some
sleep. I mean, you've been up for...

Don't you worry about my sleep.

You just make sure you
pullin' Black Lightning's teeth

like I told you to.

[Lynn] No!

'[9runts] .[Black
Lightning] Hey!

- [Lynn screams]
- [both grunting]

[screaming]

Hey! Lynn... [clears throat]

Bitch!

[Dr. Jace groaning]

I think you got her.

[panting]

[chuckles]

Oh, you have a
funny bedside manner.

You're in no position
to make jokes.

[Dr. Jace] This is true.

But you must understand, you
cannot turn me over to the ASA.

Agent Odell will realize I helped
Tobias, and he won't be forgiving.

You just tried to John Wilkes
Booth me. Why do you think I care?

I have information
that's valuable to you.

We're not playing that game.

Oh, you don't want to hear about
more homicidal meta-humans

about to be turned
loose on Freeland?

What do you want?

Police protection.

I much prefer the law-bound
criminal justice system

to the national security
ruthlessness of the ASA.

I'll see what I can do.

I assumed as much...

given the fact that there's no
Black Lightning task force formed

to bring you to justice.

You have a connect.
High level, I gather.

[Lymfl S'°P
showing off Stop it! I.

Black Lightning,
don't trust this woman.

Not until she tells
us what she's got.

Well?

You're gonna want
to write this down.

[car engine starting]

[Agent Odell] Dr. Stewart.

What the hell?

[Agent Odell] It looks like your
anonymous caller has struck again

and led you to the pod kids.

How are they?

I haven't checked them all
yet. The ones I have are stable.

Good. I'm gonna
get 'em out of here

before the Markovians take
advantage of the chaos outside.

No, that will destabilize them.

Better that than stable
in Markovian hands.

Get special teams in here.

[reporter] Authorities are now
advising residents of Freeland

to stay in their homes

as the riots surrounding the
fatal shooting of Cape Guy

continues to evoke
chaos in the city.

All right, his vitals
are getting stronger.

Thank God.

People wildin' out
in these streets.

Yo, that's 'cause
they pissed off,

and they got every right to be.

Yeah, but what is tearing up
your own community gonna do?

Look. This dude is running
down the street with a TV.

How the hell is that
helping anything?

That fool, he just
wanna get a TV.

He ain't trying
to create change.

But the majority of
the people out there,

they're trying to get the
attention of the powers that be.

[sirens wailing]

Freehand 'gust went dark.

[Anissa] I know.
We just saw that.

That's Gambi's backup power.

Yo, a power outage?

You think they're
getting crazy now?

They about to be
acting even more crazy.

[Anissa] Hey, yo, Dad tripping.
Got me in here cooped up.

This is killing me.

I gotta get out there.

And do what, exactly?

I don't know, Jen. But,
look, I gotta do something.

To who? These
are regular people.

And on top of that,
what about Uncle Gambi?

Least of your worries.

- [Jennifer] Hey.
- [groans]

[Jennifer] I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

All right. Are you okay?

Me? What about the whole
"look before you leap" thing?

Why would you get so close to me

when I've got energy
flying all over the place?

Because you're my family.

Now let's go check on your dad.

Jeff?

Jeff, do you read me?

Oh, it's good to hear
your voice, old man.

- [sighs]
- You all right?

I've had worse. Jeff,
you gotta come in.

No, I can't. I have to get back
to Lynn at Tobias's warehouse.

The pods are there. If I know
Tobias, he's gonna want 'em back.

Just tell Lynn to
get out of there.

Jeff, you're
almost out of juice.

Without an energy supply,
you're gonna go down soon.

Jeff?

- Jeff?
- [comm beeps]

- He cut the comm link.
- I'm out.

- Hold up. I'm comin' with.
- Jen, no.

Wait... Wait! What
are you doing?

I need to get the lights back
on so your father can power up.

Okay, I'm coming with you.

- We need you to stay here.
- No, I'm not staying here.

- You will if you're smart.
- I'm not smart, then.

- Jennifer, trust me.
- No, you need to trust me.

I can do this. The suit's done.

The suit only stops an outside
source from overloading you.

It is up to you to keep
a lid on your emotions.

I understand that. I can.

You've had no tactical training.

Tell me what you need me
to do, and I'll do it. I promise.

Or you can walk out, and
I'll just follow you anyway.

All right. Remember
that promise.

Let's go.

[gunfire]

[officer] stop!

[grunting]

Dr. Jace.

Line-of-sight
teleportation. Interesting.

You're wanted in Markovia.

You're a bounty hunter.

[officer 2] We're moving in.

Whatever they're paying you,
I can get you more. Double.

Yeah, I don't renegotiate.

- Check him.
- No pulse.

Move in. Go, go!

All clear.

[officer 3] We've
got nothing, sir.

[officer 4] They're gone.

[scoffs]

- [chuckles]
- [indistinct shouting]

[sniffs] Can you smell it?

The city's burning,
Tori. It's burning down.

- [shouting continues]
- [sirens wailing]

Nobody's gonna take a
damn thing from us anymore.

And when I rebuild this city, it'll
be just the way we always wanted it.

[funk music playing]

[officer 1] Put your hands
where we can see them!

[officer 2] Do not move!

- On your knees!
- [officer 3] Freeze!

[officer 1] Do not move!

Stop!

[officers groaning]

Let me guess. Tobias
Whale sent you.

- Hey, what's up?
- [Rebecca] Glad you made it.

Now we won't have
to hunt you down.

Is that right?

[9 runts]

[both groan]

So you grab that
one, you grab that arm.

Take me to him.

- Uh-uh. Mm-mm.
- [Reverend Holt] Hold on now.

Hold on now.

That's not who we
are, not in this church.

Let 'em come on through.

Let me tell you all something.

If the good Lord can see fit to
raise me up off my deathbed...

[all agreeing]

We can see fit to raise our
neighbors in their time of need.

[all agreeing]

I want you all to spread
the word that this church

will serve as a place of
sanctuary during the riots.

- [all] Amen.
- Amen?

- [all] Amen.
- That's all right.

[both grunting]

[Black Lightning grunting]

[9 runts]

[both grunt]

Oh, yeah? Y'all ass is mine.

[all grunting]

[groaning loudly]

The hell with this!

[grunting]

I saw that you was
runnin' out of juice.

I know we had beef for a long
time, but I ain't about that no more.

My city don't need to be this
torn up. The streets need you.

I'm only about one thing.
I'm gonna kill Tobias Whale.

[Thunder grunting]

Your partner gettin'
ready to die over there.

[choking]

[Black Lightning] No! [grunting]

[choking]

[Gambi] Hey.

All right, Jen, come on up.

[Jennifer] Damn.

The main generator's over here.

[Jennifer] That's crazy.

Do you think you can control your
powers well enough to create small blasts?

Yeah, of course.

Okay. Controlled bursts.

Hit it on both sides
at the same time.

But not too hard,

or you'll destroy the
generator behind the ice.

I got it.

[grunting]

- Hit it again, harder.
- Okay.

One more time, just like that.

[powering up]

Perfect. You okay?

Hell no. I'm awesome. [chuckles]

[laughing]

[alarm buzzing]

Yes, you are awesome. Let's go.

[choking]

[gasps]

[all groan]

[grunting]

[all screaming]

The power's back on.

Police aren't overreacting
like they're supposed to.

My riot is dyin' out.

It's that damn Black Lightning.
It's always Black Lightning.

Thinks he can take my chaos.

Wait till I put 12 dazed and enraged
meta-humans on his punk ass.

No, don't, Tobias. Think.

If you release the pods now, we
will lose everything we've worked...

[Tobias] Get off me!

[choking]

So you gonna cut me now?

No.

But I'm leaving you.

Like I give a damn. I could
have ten of you by tomorrow.

[door closes]

[Agent Odell]
Call reinforcement.

Everyone here, hold.
Pods are the priority.

Just give me five minutes
to initiate the serum, okay?

[beeping]

Oh, my God. Wait.
No. No, wait! Wait!

Stand back! Everybody,
don't touch them!

Do it. Stand down. Stand down!

[Lynn over comms] Jeff, Anissa.

We're looking at pod kids.

[Lynn] Don't do anything.

They aren't fully awake,
and they could be erratic.

[kids mumbling indistinctly]

- [Black Lightning] Lynn.
- Oh, Jeff.

- [Black Lightning] Hey.
- Oh, my God. Mom.

- I'm okay.
- Okay, so they left you alone?

I stepped aside to tell you that
the kids were out of the pods, and...

turned around, and Odell
and his people were gone.

[Gambi] That's old
news now, Lynn.

Those meta-humans
are out of the pods.

Odell's gonna wanna claim them.

[Black Lightning] I'm
not gonna let that happen.

No. No, hold on.

With the information
Dr. Jace gave us for protection,

I can trace the signal that
helped to open the pods.

That'll be where
the briefcase is.

[Black Lightning] Yeah, and I bet
anything Tobias will be with the briefcase.

There.

- A|| right.
- [Lynn] All right.

- We'll see you.
- I'|I be here.

Almost back. Send me the GPS,

and I'll support
from the sanctum.

Wait. I know where that is.

Jen, no.

If I can float in my sleep, then I
can probably fly while I'm awake.

[9 runts]

[Tobias] I know, right? As
soon as I kill Black Lightning,

I'm gonna scoop up all those
poor, lost little meta-humans.

[Lala] Damn.

You talkin' to paintings now?

It's about time I
killed your ass.

Latavious? Please.
The devil deals the cards.

[grunting]

That don't work on me anymore.

[laughs]

You think I never
caught anylead?

- [laughing]
- [bullet clatters]

The next one's goin'
right between your eyes.

I don't think so.
E pluribus unum.

[Tobias chuckles]

[Lala grunts]

Yeah, that one worked.

Yeah. Do you feel
that bubbling up inside?

[groaning]

[grunting]

[continues laughing]

[groaning]

[continues groaning]

What did you do?

Lazarus Prime only
brought you back.

I'm the one who brainwashed you.

-[grunting] -First level was about
control. You clearly passed that.

[groaning]

Second level, way deeper.

That passphrase was
Latin for, "From many, one."

[screaming]

Bringin' out all the tattoos, all
the people you killed, at once.

And your black ass certainly
killed a lot, directly and indirectly.

- [tattoos sizzling]
- [Lala screaming]

[Tobias laughing]

[continues laughing]

Yeah, Tattoo-man.

[shushes] Go to sleep.

The next time your ass wakes up,

you're gonna be buried in
some concrete on the East Side.

[Tobias laughing and applauding]

What?

I know. He actually
thought that he had me.

[laughing]

Who the hell are you?

Call me Lightning.

And this is payback.

[Tobias screaming]

Let me down!

[shouting indistinctly]

[screaming]

Stop-[Lightning] He deserves it.

[Black Lightning] But you don't!

'Cause you don't deserve to
become a cold-blooded killer.

[Tobias continues screaming]

[Black Lightning
grunts] Stop fighting me!

I can't let him win.

- [Black Lightning] You don't...
- I'm gonna kill you!

[Black Lightning grunting]

Let go. Just let go.
You're hurting yourself.

You know I can't let you.

[Tobias] I'm gonna kill you!

[Lightning] Are you okay?

[Jefferson] When Tobias
came, I should've helped you.

I'm so sorry.

[Alvin] There's
nothing to be sorry for.

All the violence...

Peace ain't always
peaceful, son.

All the blood, broken
bones, pain you suffered,

only you'll ever
know if it was worth it.

I love you, son.

Love you, too, Dad.

[breathing heavily]
Are you okay?

Yeah.

- [Tobias] Oh, no, you ain't!
- [gun clicking]

- Please.
- Please.

[Tobias screaming]

[groaning]

He's mine.

Come on!

[grunting]

Get him!

[Reverend Holt] Is
this thing on here?

I don't know if y'all
can hear me out there.

[all] Yes, Father.

If you're out there in the
community, this is Reverend Holt,

coming to you by radio,

and I'm coming
to you by podcast.

But mostly, I'm coming to you

through the grace
of the Almighty God.

- [all] Yeah!
- Come on!

[all cheering]

Because it's only
through God's love...

that I live and I breathe.

- [woman] Amen!
- [all] Praise God.

As you all know here in the church
and out there in the community,

I was struck down
and left in a coma.

Oh, but the God I
serve had another plan.

[all cheering]

That's right. That's right.

See, I was struck down
by the evil here in Freeland.

[all agreeing]

And we have all in
this church felt that evil.

See, I praise God for
sending us Black Lightning,

an angel of justice
to fight that evil.

I praise God that
he gave us Thunder

to protect and inspire us.

I'm telling you, be you man,
a woman, or meta-human,

we all have a part to play.

So just as God's love
sent us Black Lightning,

and God's love sent us Thunder,

it was God's love that allowed
me to rise up off my deathbed.

And I'm telling you
right here in the church,

and I'm telling all of y'all
out there in the community,

Freeland will rise again.

All we have to do is hold on
to faith and love in our hearts.

[all cheering]

Now, it took evil
to start this unrest.

But love will stop it.

Let me hear somebody
say, "Love will stop it."

Love can stop it!
Love can stop it!

[all cheering]

[man] I'm the captain
of the guard of this shift.

Allow me to welcome
you to the Pit.

The collar you wear around
your neck nullifies your strength,

so you can stop
trying to use it.

You can't keep me
here. I want my lawyer.

[laughs]

You don't get one.

You've been classified a clear and present
meta-human threat to national security.

The Pit is a black site
which exists on no map

and from which
there is no escape.

In other words, abandon all
hope of the life you knew before.

Now there's just the Pit.

Yeah, well, I'm just happy none of the
pod kids hurt anybody when they got out.

I know. That was
my greatest fear.

I'm proud of you.

What?

I said I'm proud of you.

Is this some kind of
April fool-joke setup?

No. You handled your business.

Well, not all the pod kids
have been found. I mean...

I guess some of them went into
hiding, afraid to use their powers

in fear of being put
back in the pods.

Mom, like you always tell
me, celebrate the victory.

Worry about the problem
when it presents itself.

- Lynn, take the compliment.
- [door opens, closes]

- I'm sorry. Thank you. [Laughs]
- [laughs] You're welcome.

Whoa, whoa, whoa.
Did I miss a moment?

- Yeah.
- [both laugh]

My younger daughter
just paid me a compliment.

- Oh. How'd that feel?
- Great.

- Well, I made cobbler for us.
- Ooh.

My recipe or your dad's?

[Jennifer] 'Cause
if it's Dad's...

No, no, no. It's Mom's.

- [|-y ""] Okay, great.
- [women laugh]

Wait, wait. What's
wrong with mine?

What's right with it?

[women laughing]

Harsh. That's harsh.

It's a little harsh,
but it's true.

[Lynn] You have to
put peaches in it, one.

Yeah, just a little
more peaches.

- It's just bread.
- What?

Just a bunch of bread.

[Anissa] You do a lot of things
great, but it's just not one of them.

[Jennifer] No, there
are no peaches.

Yeah, right. [Chuckles]

[Anissa] It just does
anything for me.

[women laughing]

Dad, you know I
was just playin'.

Jeff, what's...

What's wrong, baby?

- Dad, for real.
- I'm fine.

[Anissa] No, you're crying.

[Jefferson sniffles] I'm...

I'm happy-

You walked through that door.

Your mom is here.
Jen is here. We're safe.

I worry all the time.

Baby, we're here.

We're together.

- We're all here. We're fine.
- I know.

You know, sometimes I
just want to quit all of it.

I just want to take you all

and take you somewhere
far away from here, but...

I can't.

And I feel guilty

because we got cobbler,

family dinners,

and so many people
in Freeland don't.

We all deserve this.

And I shouldn't have
to hold my breath

until all of you walk
through that door,

but I do.

And I'm not the only one.

Baby.

No...

[sighs] I'm happy.
I'm happy. I'm happy.

I'm happy you are home.

Look, I know I'm always late.

I promise I won't
be late no more.

- I won't. Don't.
- Good.

- Stop laughing at me.
- [music playing over radio]

- Oh! Saved by the song.
- [Lynn] Oh,

This is my jam, honey.

- Come on.
- It's all your jam.

- Dance with me.
- No, you're...

- Oh, my rheumatism is acting up.
- Oh, those old knees?

Come on. You still
got some moves.

- Now, come on. Dance with me.
- [all laughing]

[Agent Odell] Good evening.

Let's skip the prelims.

I know exactly who
and what you all are.

You need to leave.

[Agent Odell] There's
something you need to know.

The Markovians have a
stockpile of meta-humans in pods.

The largest on Earth.

You've been asked to leave...

nicely.

Not yet, Mr. Pierce.

Thanks to you, the
Markovians have Dr. Jace.

And here's the best part.

The concentration of
meta-humans in Freeland

from the vaccines and
the Green Light experiment

make it the greatest
threat to Markovia.

It's only a matter of time before
they launch a lethal first strike.

I'm swearing in Black
Lightning, Thunder,

and whatever you're
calling yourself, young lady.

The Markovian War is coming.

And Freeland...

Freehand

is ground zero.

[closing theme music playing]
