All language subtitles for BLACK LIGHTNING - S03 E03 - Agent Odells Pipe Dream (1080p - BluRay).eng

[Jefferson] Previously
on Black Lightning...

The Markovian War is coming.

Every meta-human in
Freeland is in danger.

[electricity crackling]

[Commander Williams]
Markovians breached the compound.

[Agent Odell] Put
Freeland on lockdown.

There is a clear and
present Markovian threat,

and until that is eliminated,
we cannot allow you to leave.

- Or you, Dr. Stewart.
- What?

I picked this up a
few moments ago.

That's Grace.

I'm a reporter for
Clap Back News.

You always come to
bars looking for stories?

- I don't usually do this kind of thing.
- I'm not judging.

The case belongs to Tobias
Whale. He'll find me if I got his.

Ask him again.

What's in the briefcase?

Odell was sent to Freeland
to follow three orders.

Obtain all meta subjects.
Turn the metas into weapons.

And clean the Freeland
project of anything and anyone

who could link
POTUS to the program.

- Thought you came to kill me.
- I did.

[Commander
Williams] Sergeant King.

Your officer is a Green Light
user and a possible meta-human.

King?

[Agent Odell] The brain chip
is in place and it's working.

- It hasn't been tested.
- This is the test.

- Look at you, son.
- Nichelle Payne?

How come you don't
know your own mother?

[gasps]

[Katie] How many
martial arts do you know?

Wing Chun.

[grunting]

Aikido.

[grunting]

Kali.

"[9Funts] ."

Wrestling.

[grunting]

Western boxing.

[grunting]

Judo.

[grunting]

Tae kwon do.

"[9Funts] ."

Jujitsu.

[grunting]

[screaming]

Muay Thai.

[grunting]

Silat.

- [bone cracks]
- [screaming]

I've mastered 23
different martial arts.

Did you know that if you apply
enough force at the right angle,

you can snap both the fibula
and tibia with one strike?

Or a twist.

[Katie] Mastering 23 different
martial arts seems extreme.

Uh, there's no extreme in war.

And, "To kill the grass you
must kill the root." Pol Pot.

[Katie] You're quoting someone

who killed 10% of the
population of Cambodia?

Twenty-five percent.

Pol Pot killed 25% of the
population of Cambodia.

Uh-uh, you ain't gonna creep up in
here like you haven't been out all night.

You're awake.

Of course, I'm awake.

You're gallivanting all over Freeland,
having fun and not checking in.

You don't even have
your phone on, Anissa.

How was I supposed to
make sure you were okay?

- Why are you smiling?
- No, it's just...

- Is this funny to you?
- No, no, no. It's just...

You sound just like Dad.

Well, the next time you think
you're gonna be out all night,

why don't you just pick up
a phone and send a text?

- Let me know you're all right.
- I got it.

- Do you?
- I do.

Okay, look, I spent the
night with my friend Jamillah.

I promise that the next time I
think I'm gonna be out all night,

I'll check in with you and
let you know that I'm okay.

- Okay?
- Thank you.

[chuckling] That's all I wanted.

Sheesh. Come
here. Give me a hug.

Mmm-mmm, I ain't hugging you.

- I said come here.
- [laughs]

[Jennifer sighs]

God, you get on my nerves.

[sighs] I know, but I'm tired.
Please, don't bother me. Good night.

Good morning.

You see the sun out?
And who's Jamillah?

[chuckles] Good night.

[Naughs]

[male guard 1] Quiet down.

[male guard 2] Not clear.

[male guard 3]
Hands off the bed.

[Soldier 1] Clear
one for transport.

[woman 1] Please help me.

- What is all this about?
- Precautions.

Precaution for what?

There's some type
of virus going around.

People are getting sick.

How are you holding up?

I'm a cop in jail. How
you think I'm holding up?

I'm sorry. It's just...

Whatever is going
around, I got it, too.

[sobs]

- You want me to get a doctor?
- I already seen two.

They have no idea
what's wrong with us.

Well, I'm sure
they'll figure it out.

I don't know about that.

[female soldier] Hey,
sit down. Sit down.

You know, you could've
told me you were a meta.

- It wouldn't have changed anything.
- No, |couldn't.

Because then you had to choose
between helping me and turning me in.

I would never put
you in that position.

Look, I need you to
do something for me.

Anything.

In my service locker,
there's a false bottom.

In it, there's a key
to a safe deposit box.

I'm sorry.

I saw an opportunity.

They were criminals.

So are you.

I know.

I'm sorry, but I took that
money for a moment just like this.

I need you to give that money in
that safe deposit box to my husband.

If you don't, my family
will have nothing.

Thank you.

[breathing shakily]

- Oh, man.
- Hey.

- I'm having another one.
- Hey, King. King.

Hey, we need some
help over here. Right now.

- Please, hey.
- [groaning]

Hey. Get over here. We
need your help in here.

[groaning and mumbling]

[woman 2] Take her vitals.

Last night I saw a
superhero He was black.

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

[doorbell beeps]

[mug thuds]

Enter.

Hello.

- Sorry to disturb you.
- What do you want?

There is a problem
at the meta camp.

And I... We need
Dr. Stewart's help.

What about what we need?

A virus has broken out.

That's what happens
when you pack people

into a high-density environment
with inadequate infrastructure.

I haven't stabilized the pod kids yet,
and my husband asked you a question.

This disease is only
affecting the metas,

and it appears to be fatal, so it
takes precedence over the pod kids.

If you help me
solve this problem,

I will do everything in my
power to address your needs.

Mmm-mmm, I don't believe you.

The only reason you're here

is because you can't
afford to lose more metas.

Yes, that is correct.

And, although, we disagree,
we both want the same thing.

To save these people.

This disease is so virulent...

that if we do not find a cure soon,
every meta in Freeland could die,

including your daughters.

So you gonna help me or not?

What are the symptoms?

[helicopter blades whirring]

[gunshots]

[helicopter blades whirring]

[Jamillah] Authorities
are chasing Blackbird

in response to reports that she freed
several suspected metas from the ASA.

I'm Jamillah Olsen, and
I'm here at the perimeter

where ASA commandos
have Blackbird cornered.

I'm gonna see if
I can get closer.

[grunts]

[gunshots]

[panting]

[grunts]

[explosion]

Dibs.

- Do you know who Jennifer Pierce is?
- Uh-huh.

- [scoffs] "Dibs"? Really?
- Yeah.

You're still mourning your
dead boyfriend, so yeah.

Uh-uh, That was unnecessary.

Sorry, but it's true.

Hey-Hey, are you
Jennifer Pierce?

No, I'm not.

Who's asking?

I'm Brandon. I'm new.

I'm getting bussed here
because of the occupation,

and I was told to ask
Jennifer Pierce for a tour.

Told by who?

- Are you Jennifer?
- Maybe.

Well, the people
at the front desk,

they said no one knows
Garfield better than you.

- Is that right?
- Yeah.

Follow me.

Hey, what's going
on with all the guns?

They're here to keep us safe.

From what?

[doorbell beeps]

Enter.

We have reason to believe that
Dr. Jace is just outside the perimeter

with Markovian troops.

We've sent several ASA commandos
to do recon, but they were captured.

- Well, that's too bad.
- Luckily...

one of the majors
dropped a tracking device

before they were abducted.

The Markovians are on
the outskirts of Freeland,

and they are
marshalling their forces.

This threat is imminent.

- What's that?
- Why don't you open it and see?

- It's a watch.
- Try it on.

Like I have a choice.

- Doesn't work.
- Run some current through it.

Oh. Hey, it tells the
time. Great. Thank you.

It does a lot more
than just that.

That watch has more technology
in it than the space shuttle,

but it can only be activated
with your unique skills.

But, uh, well... All
I see is a watch.

Hmm.

Why don't you try to hit
it with around ten volts

and see if your
perception changes?

- But that'I| fry it.
- Will it?

Okay. I'll humor you, okay?

Ten volts.

What the...

This is the reason why we have
you here, why we're testing you,

why we're putting you through
so much pain and struggle.

Whoa!

It's so we can create tech that
will help all metas to live better.

The Markovians are
planning on killing...

or capturing all of
the metas in Freeland.

I cannot stop them
without your help.

If you help me with this...

you can go home and
be with your daughters.

[sighs]

Well, damn.

[Inspector
Henderson] This is bad.

Yeah, it is.

Some of these officers have
been serving Freeland for decades.

They shouldn't
be treated like this.

Well, they've been registering
and testing regular folks

for the meta gene
for the past month.

Why should y'all
be any different?

- Excuse me. William Henderson?
- Yes.

I have orders to put you
through the registration process.

I'm the chief of police.

We are aware of that.

We still need to get you
registered and tested.

If you could get in
line, we'd appreciate it.

Thank you.

Okay.

You should feel
hydrated in a few hours.

And these...

are for your arthritis,

high blood pressure, heart
disease and bladder function.

[grunts]

[Tobias groaning]

What's happened
to aging gracefully?

Privacy, please.

[door beeps open]

I guess it's true what they say.
Youth is wasted on the young.

I know how you feel. I
take 18 different pills a day.

Your body has reverted
to its natural age

and is experiencing
withdrawal from the serum

that's kept you virile
for the last 30 years.

They tell me that
coming off of that serum

is ten times worse
than kicking heroin.

- Where's your truth boy?
- We had to let lssa go.

So you killed him?

[inhales deeply]

Makes sense. I'd have
done the same thing.

Can't have some kid running
around knowing about all your dirt.

Tell me, Agent Odell. Did
you smoke him yourself?

You did, didn't you?

[chuckles]

[clears throat]

[coughing]

I knew you did.

We both know it's your
fault that lssa is dead.

If you didn't want
that boy dead,

you shouldn't have
put him in there with me.

Point taken.

Well played.

But from now on,

you will be dealing with me.

And I promise
you, you will tell me

where I can get the
information from that briefcase.

- [groans]
- Oh.

You know, I just
realized... [scoffs]

You...

You haven't been out of
your cell in over a month.

I owe you some...

time in the sun.

Open.

[grunts]

My understanding
is that one minute

in this concentrated UV light

is like an hour on the beach.

If only you were more...

melanated.

[groaning]

Let me know when
you're ready to talk.

[screaming]

[continues screaming]

You know, I'm really
digging that jacket.

Yeah, whatever.

I don't usually see black
kids wearing $1,000 shoes.

I don't see what being
black has to do with it, but...

Really? Race influences
everything in America.

If you say it doesn't,
then you're either lying,

or you're too naive to be alive.

Well, then I guess I'm naive.

I really believe the
content of your character

determines how
far you go in life.

[scoffs] I know you didn't just
quote Martin Luther King to me.

Yeah. I think he was right.

Okay, first of all, that's
not how the quote goes.

It's "I have a dream
that my four little children

will one day live in a nation
where they will not be judged..."

[both] "...by the color of their skin,
but by the content of their character."

Yes, I was paraphrasing.

Second, that was a dream,
okay? It wasn't reality.

Well, you have to admit,
things have gotten better.

[laughs] What Pollyanna-ass
school did you come from?

- Springbrook.
- Springbrook.

Okay, well, things at Garfield are
done a little differently than Springbrook.

To the right is where my
ex-boyfriend attacked the school

and sent over a dozen kids
and teachers to the hospital.

- You're making that up.
- [chuckles] I wish I was.

This is the classroom
where my sister and I

got abducted by a
drug dealer at gunpoint.

Do you give this tour
to all the new students?

Yeah, pretty much.

And that's the gym where they
had the prom I couldn't go to

because a gangster
named Tobias Whale

ripped my boyfriend's spine out
of his back before he could ask me.

Uh, I don't even know
what to say to that one.

You could say,
"Thank you for the tour."

- Thank you for the tour.
- You're welcome.

[school bell rings]

[grunting]

I need you geared up and
ready to head out at 0900.

May I ask the nature
of this mission?

- We're hunting Markovians.
- Should I bring the full kit?

You should bring as many
weapons as you can carry.

Did you know that you
can cause a lethal disruption

of the heart's rhythm
with one fatal blow?

It's like hitting a person
with a defibrillator.

Can you do that?

Yes. It's called
commotio cordis.

Well...

you should add that
to your repertoire.

I already have.

- You know you didn't have to come.
- I wanted to.

It's a good look for the current
chief of police and next mayor.

It shows that you
care for your family.

That you care for the
citizens of Freeland.

Well, I don't know, Veretta. I'm
supposed to protect Freeland.

But I feel like I'm failing.

You only fail if you quit.

I'm not gonna quit,
but look around you.

- This is not good.
- Excuse me, Chief Henderson.

- Yes, ma'am.
- I need to speak to you.

- How can I help you?
- When is all of this gonna stop?

Well, unfortunately,
ma'am, I don't know.

All we can do right now is try to
make this as painless as possible.

Does this look painless to you?

Nuh-uh, hold on.
This isn't his fault.

- It's okay, Veretta.
- I asked you the question.

- Does this look painless to you?
- No, ma'am, it does not.

You told us that you were going to give
us a police department that we deserved.

You said that you were
going to look out for us.

We finally got a black
man in charge of police,

and this is what we get?

Things are worse now than
they were when white folk ran it.

You should be
ashamed of yourself.

- [officers] Ma'am.
- Who do you think you are?

- Who do you think you are?
- Hey.

That's okay, Veretta.

- Let her go.
- Sir, she just assaulted...

- Let her go.
- Yeah, go on, get.

Get off me.

Are you okay?

Yeah.

Iowe you...

an apOIOQY-[breathing deeply]

I lost my temper.

I took it out on you. I
shouldn't have done that.

It was unprofessional,
and for that, I am sorry.

[Tobias] Hmm.

I know that I cannot
get what I need from you

without proposing
something of value in return,

so I'm prepared to
make you an offer.

This ought to be good.

I'll let you out,

and help you reclaim
your old territory

in exchange for the briefcase.

[exhales deeply]

[mocking] So you
gonna free me, massa?

- It's a good deal.
- It's a long way from that.

If you wanna do
business with me,

you're gonna have to
come up with a number

with a whole lot of zeroes
and commas behind it.

On top of that, I want
my freedom, territory

and a host of other
considerations I've yet to think of.

If I were you...

[inhales deeply]

I'd reflect on my
current condition

before I started
turning down offers.

I'll take that under advisement.

[clicking tongue]

I've thought about it.

And the answer's still no.

[Tobias breathing deeply]

Open.

[Agent Odell] Dr. Stewart.

I've identified the DNA of the virus
making the metas in the camp sick.

It's manmade.

Has mutations
in it that I created.

The only other person that knew
about these mutations is Dr. Jace.

So Dr. Jace created the virus?

We know the Markovians had her,

but it seems that they've
coerced her into working for them.

How'd she get the
virus into the camp?

I believe the delivery
system was Cyclotronic,

the meta who attacked
the camp a few days ago.

I ran a computer model, and the
outbreak coincides with his demise.

He must have infected the
other metas during the battle.

So you're saying
Dr. Jace purposely

sent an infected meta
to contaminate the camp?

Yes. I think it was
a biological attack.

For now, the virus is
contained inside the camp.

How close are you
to finding a cure?

I'm making progress.

But over half of the metas
in the camp are infected.

These people are depending
upon you to save their lives.

It's only a matter of time before
it spreads to Freeland proper.

You need to fix this.

I know.

Look, I don't work for you, okay? I'm
not your employee. I'm helping you.

So I'm gonna need you to
change the way you talk to me.

MY apologies.

Thank you for all your work.
Call me if you need anything.

[sighs]

[sighs deeply]

[doorbell rings]

- Hey.
- Chief Henderson?

Herbert.

I'm so sorry for your loss.

You have my deepest condolences.

Your wife wanted
you to have this.

[car engine starts]

[car drives away]

Chief.

[scoffs] So you're just
showing up in my living room

in the middle of the day?

Really? That's
what we doing now?

I forgot how impertinent
teenagers can be.

The Markovians killed
Khalil's mother, Nichelle.

I wanted you to
hear it from me first.

I'm sorry for your loss.

[voice breaking] How
do you know it was them?

We have surveillance footage
of a known Markovian agent

who entered Mrs. Payne's home
shortly before her body was found.

Why would they kill her?

We don't know, but
we're looking into it.

The Markovians want to capture
or kill as many metas as possible,

so they can be the greatest
superpower in the world.

The Markovians are the reason
there are tanks on the street.

Soldiers in Garfield. And
your parents are away.

As soon as the
Markovians are gone,

everything will go back
to the way it was before.

Why are you telling me this?

There's a Markovian data farm

that they're using for a command
center on the outskirts of Freeland.

We need to take it out.

But we can't find it.

With your ability, you may
be able to detect where it is.

I'm telling you this
because we need your help.

What do you want me to do?

[in Russian]

[men screaming]

Hey-

- Where's Dr. Jace?
- What?

Do you have Dr. Jace?

No. Dr. Jace wasn't my mission.

My mission was to rescue
you and the commandos.

I didn't need rescuing.
This was the plan.

I get taken, put eyes on the
target and call in fire support.

- That's you.
- That's not what I was told.

- Follow me.
- Okay, where are we going?

To smoke out Dr. Jace.

[men chattering indistinctly]

Hlcoveryou.

[all grunting]

[screaming]

- [man speaking in foreign language]
- [in English] Where's Dr. Jace?

I don't know who that is.

Where is she?

- Hmm?
- [breathing heavily]

She's in the back office.

[groans]

Damn it.

Grace?

Where the hell have you been?

Okay, what are you doing here?

-Waiting for you.

I knew you'd walk this
way to get to your car,

so I thought I'd stop
by and say hello.

- Hi.
- I missed you.

- And I just wanted to see you.
- I missed you, too.

And I've been...

Grace, listen to me. I
wanna be with you, okay?

I don't care that you're a leopard
or an old man or a shapeshifter.

I love you.

- Are you sure?
- Yeah.

Damn.

I don't even know who
I am. So how can you?

- I, I just do.
- Why are you looking at me like that?

- You said you knew.
- I did. I just...

I've never seen
anything like that before.

Can you change back?

Yo, how long you
been able to do that?

As long as I can remember.

So it's weird to you?

No. Yes. Well, a little.

But I really don't care
that you can do that.

I think it's cool that you
can do that. It's a gift.

- No, it's not a gift.
- Look. You're not gonna run me off.

You wanna be with
me, I wanna be with you.

- Let's just be together.
- What are you talking about?

I just stole drugs from
the clinic where he works

so I can keep my
gift under control.

[sighs] I have some
serious problems.

You're
self-medicating. I get it.

We can get you help.

Help? Look, there's
no help for this.

Yes, there is.

[sighs] Look, I'm
tired of running.

Okay, well, then just
stop running, Grace.

I'm here for you.

Okay?

- Come here.
- Okay?

_H€Y- _H€Y-

- Look, thanks for meeting me.
- No problem.

So, I found who
I was looking for.

Mmm-hmm.

My ex, Grace.

The woman who I'm in love with.

Okay.

Look, this doesn't have to be
anything other than a friendship.

We had a good night, and
maybe we'll have another one.

Again, but it's all good.

[sighs] Listen, I...

I have a habit of making
really bad decisions

when it comes to relationships.

I'm trying to be
a better person.

I don't wanna leave a
trail of hurt people behind.

So you thought we were gonna have
sex and I was just gonna lose my mind?

- [laughs] No.
- Yes, you did.

- No, I didn't.
- [laughs] Yes, you totally did.

You need to get over yourself.

I mean, everything you're saying
is really sweet, but I'm not hurt.

I'm good.

We're good, and if you wanna be
with her, you should go be with her.

- Thanks. I will.
- Cool.

- Let me buy you a drink.
- Okay, sounds good.

- Yeah?
- Mmm-hmm.

Your target is the
data farm up ahead.

It'll have a much higher electrical
output than the surrounding areas.

You know, my parents
can't know about this.

[Agent Odell] They
won't. I found it.

Good. Now take it out.

[Yelps]

Really? It's like that?

- You okay?
- Yeah, I'm good.

I have to go offline
for a second though.

Nichelle, this is for you.

[grunting]

[Agent Odell] The
data farm is down.

We have the address.
324 Oglethorpe.

[grunts]

[groans]

[both grunting]

[grunting]

Thank you for your service.

Well, thank you for the watch.

- I'll see you tomorrow.
- I'll send a car.

Are you, uh, waiting
for something?

Waiting to see what else you're
gonna pull. See, I don't trust you.

Hmm.

In spite of what you may think
about me, I'm a man of my word.

I said I would do my
best to meet your needs.

You need to be with your
family, so go see your family.

Safe travels.

[Lynn] Thank you.

- Hey.
- [Jennifer screams]

[all laughing]

Hey-[Jefferson screaming]

[laughing continues]

[both] Oh.

[Lynn] I missed y'all.

[Jennifer] I missed
y'all so much.

[sighs] Thank God that's
over. I'm going to bed.

- What? Hold on. We can catch up.
- Good night.

What's up with you?

Can we catch up
later? I kind of got to go.

- Seriously?
- Yeah, we'll catch up tomorrow.

- I love you guys. Bye.
- Bye.

- Love you.
- Have a good night. Thank you. Bye.

Hey, since the girls don't
seem to want to hang out with us,

we can celebrate coming home.

Um, no, not tonight, honey.
I'm beat. Take a rain check?

- Okay.
- Good night.

Good night.

Great.

[man] This is exactly
where you belong.

In a deep, dark hole.

[laughing menacingly]

And the best part
is I put you here.

You'll never beat me.

'Cause you are weak and stupid.

[Naughs]

I'm gonna get out of here, and
I'm gonna reclaim what's mine.

Then I'm gonna kill you and
everything you care about.

I'm gonna have fun doing it.

[Black Lightning] You
will never, ever beat me.

And here's a little secret.

You will never,
ever get out of here.

[laughing]

You ghetto glowworm.

I'm gonna kill your
black monkey ass.

[closing theme music playing]
