All language subtitles for BLACK LIGHTNING - S03 E06 - Knocking on Heavens Door (1080p - BluRay).eng

[Jefferson] Previously
on Black Lightning...

[Instant] Dr. Jace.

You're wanted in Markovia.

[Agent Odell] The Markovians
are on the outskirts of Freeland

and they're
marshalling their forces.

[in Russian]

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

This occupation won't end until
I stabilize the meta-gene itself.

It has to be extracted
from a human host.

Only one patient
survived taking the serum.

Now, you work for me,
you miserable bastard.

[Jefferson] I need you to
bring Tavon back to Freeland.

[Blackbird] Too dangerous.

He needs to be with his family.

[Blackbird] Come on, Tavon.

Run!

- [Jefferson] What happened?
- [Blackbird] We got ambushed.

No, no, Tavon!

- Remember his face!
- [all chanting] Tavon! Tavon!

What the hell is going on?

Stand down!

ASA tanks and heavily
armored checkpoints

enforce the total
isolation of Freeland.

Nevertheless, a resistance
has begun to arise.

Tavon Singley and Jefferson
Pierce are the spark we need.

But it's time to run the ASA out
of here, take our freedom back.

[Blackbird] They hit us
with some kind of poison.

I guess if you're seeing this,

it means I didn't make it...

[Coughs]

And I'm okay with
that. Really, I am.

Because I know my
sacrifice... it meant something.

Jen...

Jen, I'm sorry.

I'm so sorry for leaving you.

[sniffles]

Especially...

with what you're going through.

Mom.

Dad.

[clears throat]

Uncle Gambi.

I knew what I was doing,
and it was worth the risk.

[grunts]

Now, none of you are gonna
take comfort in hearing this,

but it's because of you...

that I was strong enough...

to do what had to be done.

You all taught me...

to stand up for what's
right even if it's difficult...

because evil triumphs...

when good people do nothing...

and I damn sure
wasn't gonna do nothing.

Last night, I saw a
superhero He was black.

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

- [Lynn] How are Tavon's parents?
- Better than I would be.

Is there anything that they
need? Anything that we can do?

[Jefferson sighs]

Wish there was, but... No, what
they need, we can't give them.

I'm proud of you, Jeff.

Proud? Of what?

[scoffs] For not suiting up
to avenge Tavon's death.

I know this must be hard for
you, but it was the right thing to do.

How can you say that
to me, here of all places?

Innocent people are
dying, Lynn. Kids are dying.

- [Lynn shushes]
- No, no. Tavon is dead.

- Jeff.
- Do you hear me?

Tavon is dead.

This is not just
about us anymore.

[gospel music playing]

[Jamillah] Mr. Pierce.

Mr. Pierce, I'm
sorry to do this.

[Anissa] Jamillah,
now isn't a good time.

But the people deserve
to know the truth.

Mr. Pierce, how are you feeling
after your altercation with the ASA?

Do you plan on pressing charges?

Mr. Pierce, do you
think that your actions

will inspire the residents of Freeland
to push back against the occupation?

Excuse me, young lady,
I don't know who you are,

but show some respect.
This is not the time or place.

Mr. Pierce, one last question.

If you could say anything
to Tavon Singley right now,

What would that be?

Can you please let
us grieve in peace?

[Jefferson] Anissa, it's okay.

I'll answer that question.

If I could say anything to Tavon,
I'd tell him how proud I am of him.

I'd tell him how much he
inspired the other students...

and me...

to be the best
version of ourselves.

I would tell him
that his death...

His death will not be in vain.

[cell phone beeps]

To enter...

Up a golden gate.

You look tired,
Jeff. Long night?

Okay, so you heard...

That Black Lightning nearly
killed two ASA commandos

and Zorro'd a lightning bolt
onto the side of a building?

Yeah, Jeff, I heard. The
whole damn town heard.

I was going to talk to you
about it before I went out, but...

[Lynn] But you didn't.

Instead, you reacted
the way you always do,

and now we have
to pay the price.

[sighs]

Look, Odell is not going
to do anything to us

or the girls. We are
too valuable to him.

How can you be so certain?

Ithoughtso.

You're unbelievable.

What... What do you
expect me to do, Lynn, huh?

Just sit around and do nothing?

- I can't, not anymore.
- I expect you to keep your word.

I expect you to treat
me like a partner

and not make decisions that
affect all of us without talking to me.

I expect you to not put
our family in jeopardy.

I expect you to not go
out as Black Lightning

every time you want to ease
your troubled conscience.

No, no, no, this is not
about me, this is about...

Who? Who, Jeff?

Earl? Alvin?

Tavon?

You keep telling yourself that.

Because no matter how
heroic you think you are,

I know the truth.

This is not about Freeland. It's
not about Tavon, it's about you.

It's always about you.

If you'll excuse me,
I have lives to save.

[Jefferson scoffs]

Hopefully, Odell won't throw
me in a cell when I get there.

[Gambi] So, how're you doing?

I thought that's what you're
supposed to be telling me.

I'm waiting on test results.
I was talking about Tavon.

His death must be
weighing on you.

- Do you want to talk about it?
- No amount of talking...

is going to bring Tavon back.

So what's the point?

The point is that you can't
carry something like this around.

It'll eat at you. Trust me.

[computer beeps]

It's that good, huh?

This poison is...

breaking down your cells faster
than anything I have ever seen.

If you hadn't had your
meta-human healing ability...

you'd probably be dead already.

Had my healing ability?

Whatever is in you is
suppressing your meta-gene.

Right now you're as vulnerable as I
am. You're getting weaker by the second.

So, what's next?
What we are gonna do?

I've come in contact with a
variation of this poison before.

But this one, this one
is ten times as potent.

So I'm trying to
supercharge the antivenom

that I've already created
but... that takes time.

Look, how much time I got?

At the rate this
toxin is spreading...

a week. Maybe two.

Anissa, you've got to tell
parents what's going on.

No, I don't, and neither do you.

You can't ask me to
keep this from them.

Uncle Gambi, listen to me.

I'll tell them if and
when the time comes,

but until then, I need you
to keep this between us.

They're going
through enough as it is.

I'm sorry. I can't do that.

Then give me a day.

If you can't stop what's happening
to me in these next 24 hours...

I'll tell Mom and Dad then.

Please.

Okay.

- Twenty-four hours. But that's it.
- I'll take it.

[Gambi] You should get home.

Get some rest.

I'll call you as soon
as I have something.

Promise.

Thank you.

[door closes]

[Kyrie] Hey.

[Inspector Henderson] This fake news ASA
is putting out, it's making us look bad.

It's like the resistance is
causing more harm than good.

What about Truthteller Johnson?

I thought he was spreading
our gospel to Freeland.

- [Reverend Holt] Yeah.
- He was.

Until Freeland PD fished him
out of the river this morning.

Oh, my God.

So, maybe you should
lead with that then, brother.

- I mean, are you sure it's him?
- It's him all right.

Shouldn't we be
running or something?

I mean, if they got
Truthteller, then...

If he said something, do you
think I'd be standing here right now?

I'd be the first person
they threw under the jail.

So what's the play?

[Inspector Henderson sighs]

What are we supposed to do now?

[Inspector Henderson]
Well, like I said,

we need to get our
truth to all of Freeland,

not just the five-mile radius

that Truthteller was reaching
with that bootleg setup he had.

Gina, you said you had a nephew who
is an engineering student at Bowman.

- Yeah, why?
- I want you to get him

and as many of those
tech nerds as it takes

to build a radio system strong
enough to broadcast to all of Freeland.

What if something goes
wrong? What if I get caught?

I strongly suggest you don't.

With no Truthteller,

who's going to be the
voice of the resistance?

Leave that to me.

[door beeps and opens]

Dr. Stewart.

I was beginning to think
you didn't love me anymore.

What, no witty comeback?

Did someone wake up on the wrong
side of the light socket this morning?

I'm not here to
talk to you, Tobias.

I'm just here to check
you're healing properly,

so I can harvest
another round of marrow.

So you can cure the pod kids.

I didn't say anything
about the pod kids.

You didn't have to.

Helping them would
be the only reason.

Odell pulled me out
of the hole I was in.

You know you
can't trust him, right?

So, whatever he promised...

- But I suppose I can trust you?
- I'm a true friend, Dr. Stewart.

- [scoffs]
- I'd much rather stab you in the front,

whereas Odell... Well,
you get the metaphor.

We're not friends, Tobias.

You're a lab rat that I can
use and discard as I please.

You want to be my
friend, Dr. Stewart,

because friends keep
their friends' secrets.

I'm tired of your empty threats.

You're on lockdown with no
access to the outside world.

You're never going to
see the light of day again.

[Tobias] I hear your
man went all theatrical.

Burning lightning bolts on the
side of buildings and whatnot.

Such a goon.

[door beeps and opens]

- How do you know about that?
- I have my ways.

I always have my ways.

So, like I said, Dr. Stewart...

You wanna be my friend.

What do you want?

I want a list of every
meta in this place,

complete with their
particular set of powers.

I can't do that.

I think you can.

And... I think you Will.

[pop music playing]

[Shonda] Anissa, your
father is at the door.

[banging at door]

- Shonda...
- [Shonda] Yes, Anissa?

Pause music.

[music stops]

[{banging at door] "[9Funts]"

[grunting]

[banging continues]

[gasping]

And open front door.

[door beep]

I'm never gonna get used
to these smart houses.

- What're you doing here, Dad?
- I... just came to check on you.

You were beat up pretty bad.

Look who's talking.

Yeah. I just wanted to make
sure that you were okay.

As you can see, I'm fine.

So, if that's all you wanted...

you came all this
way for nothing.

I also...

wanted to say I'm sorry.

I pressured you to bring
Tavon back to Freeland.

I was wrong.

You were right.

Tavon's death is on me.

And I'm gonna have to live
with that for the rest of my life.

I knew it was a bad
idea, and I did it anyway.

So Tavon's death...

that's on me.

Not you...

not the ASA...

me.

And that is something...

that I...

have to live with...

for the rest of my life.

- No, Anissa...
- You should go.

Shonda, open front door.

So, it's like that.

It's like that.

Okay.

[sniffles]

Okay. [Clears throat]

[door closes and locks]

[gasping]

[Grace] Anissa, Anissa.

Thank God, I was so scared.

[Anissa grunts]

What happened?

I don't know. I walked in and
found you unconscious on the floor.

I don't know. I must have
gotten lightheaded or something.

[Grace] Anissa, if we're
really trying to do this,

if we're really trying
to make this work,

you have to trust me
enough to let me in.

I'm not a porcelain doll,

I'm not going to break
if you lean on me.

Hey, hey, babe, I know that.

And when I need
to lean on you, I will.

I'm just...

I'm just still recovering from
my run-in with Bruce Leroy.

That's all.

When I morph into the
leopard, I don't remember a lot,

but the smells, they
always stay with me.

The smell of... fresh cut grass,

the smell of the air
right before the rain...

the smell of death.

Death? Wait, mm-mmm...

Nobody's dying here.

Yeah, okay. I'm
a little beat up.

Okay.

I'm a little more than a
little beat up, but I'm good.

- I want to believe you.
- Then you should believe me.

Look, if it makes you feel any
better, I went to see Uncle Gambi.

And he's working on
something to fix me up.

Said I'll be back on
my feet in no time.

You promise?

Girl, we've been through
too much to be together.

I'm not about to lose you now.

If you say so.

I do.

[Grace chuckles]

I like the sound of that.

Well, since you're okay...

I'm gonna go take a shower.

If you get lonely, you
know where to find me.

I damn sure do.

[chuckles]

[sighs]

[grunts]

[crackling]

What is this?

[sighs]

Who the hell is this kid?

All right, Brandon.

Let's see what you're hiding.

Mom.

[door opens and closes]

What're you doing
in my apartment?

Don't ask, you perv. Why do
you have photos of my mom?

It's not even like that.

Would you just let me explain?

[grunts]

What the hell was that?

[Agent Odell clears throat]

[Jefferson] Agent Odell.

I can't say I'm
surprised to see you.

Mr. Pierce, I came by to tell you that
the ASA has a team of neurologists

standing at the ready to give
you a thorough examination.

- I don't need a neurologist, I'm fine.
- [scoffs] I beg to differ.

You must have
suffered brain damage

to think there'd be no
consequences from breaking our deal.

Ah...

Our deal made me a guinea pig

and took me away from
my family for over a month.

Our deal got me beat down
in front of my own school,

in front of my own daughter.

Our deal kept me
from saving Tavon.

Our deal is over.

Our deal protected your family
from taking your place in The Pit.

If you even think about
laying a finger on my girls,

- I will barbeque your black ass.
- [electricity crackling]

[chuckles]

Mr. Pierce,

you don't want to make
an enemy out of me.

That's funny, Agent Odell.

I was about to tell
you the same thing.

Wassup? Y'all got
room for one more?

[hip-hop music playing]

Where did he go?

Where the hell did he go?

[all grunting and groaning]

[screaming and panting]

You could've said no.

[hip-hop music playing]

[soldier] Halt!

[soldier] Let him through.

Now we go to work.

[knocking]

[Inspector Henderson] Come in.

Thank you. I can
take it from here.

Jamillah Olsen.

Please, take a seat.

Chief Henderson.

I have to admit, I'm...

surprised you finally
agreed to see me.

This isn't an interview.

This is an interrogation.

Excuse me?

I can draw a direct correlation

from some of those "girl on
the street" interviews of yours

and the escalating insurgent
violence in the streets of Freeland.

- That's... That's ridiculous.
- Unfortunately for you, it isn't.

I've lived in Freeland
my entire life,

but you, you just came
here looking for a story.

Try to make a name for yourself.

Hell, I should have
arrested you on GP

for ambushing Jefferson
Pierce at Tavon Singley's wake.

Now you stop what you're doing.

Right now.

Or the next interview you do

will be from the
wrong side of iron bars.

- I can't.
- What you mean, you can't?

What's happening here is wrong
and the people need to know.

If I have to go to jail
to make that happen,

then I will.

That's what I hoped
you would say.

What? Okay, I'm so confused.

Let's just say

I have a job opening for
your particular set of skills.

Working with you?
That's a hard pass.

You want to be the voice of the
people? The voice of a movement?

Here's your chance.

[typing]

[whirring]

[Jennifer] All right, I
think I'm calm now.

Why're you
cyber-stalking my mom?

I'm not stalking your mother.

I'm looking for Dr. Jace. Your
mom is the last link I have on her.

Wait, why're you
looking for that psycho?

Jace killed my mother.

I came to Freeland to make sure

that I put Dr. Jace in a
grave right alongside her.

But you need to keep my
family out of your business.

Done.

- I'm sorry for breaking into your spot.
- I'm not.

I'm actually glad to have
someone to talk to about all this.

Question, what's
with all the coal?

You have a mad grilling
habit or something?

[both chuckle]

I think it's easier
if I just show you.

Hold on.

All right.

So...

my powers,

they give me the ability
to manipulate the earth.

Watch this.

[crackling]

And everything
that comes from it.

- It's a diamond.
- [Brandon] it is.

And I just paid for
your college education.

- Put that in your treasure chest.
- [laughs]

This is tight.

That's tight.

[Gambi] I've come in contact with
a variation of this poison before.

But this one, this one
is ten times as potent.

It can't be.

[door beeps and opens]

Dr. Stewart,

back so soon?

[door beeps and opens]

[Tobias] What is this?

[Lynn] I temporarily disabled
the recording devices in this room.

I'll give you five minutes to
memorize everything on those sheets

before I destroy them.

[door beeps and opens]

Doctor, I always knew
you'd do the right thing,

and they say black
women are difficult.

I think, much like most Negroes,
they just need the proper motivation.

You're a monster,
do you know that?

You may think I'm a monster,
but I'm nothing compared to Odell.

You have no clue
who he is, do you?

You're just trying to
get inside my head.

Maybe.

If only you had a way
to make me tell the truth

and get the answers you seek.

Oh, wait. You do.

I mean, you did.

Poor, poor lssa.

What do you know about lssa?

The question isn't what
do I know about lssa,

the question is, what
does Odell know?

Five minutes.

Have you been reading
Michelle Obama's book lately?

[Lynn sighs]

You sure are
becoming very assertive.

[Tobias grunts] Hmm...

Don't forget to say
hello to Jefferson for me.

You haven't told him about us.

- Have you?
- There is no "us," Tobias.

[Tobias grunts] Hmm...

I wonder if the neon Negro
will see it the same way.

- [Anissa gasping]
- Anissa?

Anissa?

Anissa, baby. Anissa.

- [Anissa gasping]
- Oh, my God.

[dialing]

[Grace] Anissa, stay with me.

[Anissa gasping]

[Grace] Okay.

[Gambi] How long
has she been like this?

[Grace] I don't know,
15, maybe 20 minutes.

She was sweating so bad, I
took off her jacket and found...

What is happening to her?

- Is she dying?
- Grace, I can't answer those questions.

But I need you
to back off a little.

Please.

Anissa, I'm here.

You hold on.

- Is this gonna work?
- We'll have to wait and see.

[sighs]

- It has to work.
- Come on, Anissa.

Come on.

It has to work. It has
to work. It has to work.

Come on, Anissa, you got this.

She's responding.
It's working! Come on!

[gasps]

Hey!

[both chuckle]

Hey, welcome back.

- [Grace] Hey.
- Uncle Gambi.

[Gambi] Don't,
don't try to talk, dear.

Let me help you. There
we go. You just rest.

And let this pretty lady
take care of you. Okay?

Wait. You're leaving?

There's just something
I have to take care of.

- What if she has a relapse or something?
- She should be fine.

But if anything
happens, I'm not far.

- You got this, Grace.
- Yeah.

[Grace] Hey.

Agent Odell, sir,
sorry to interrupt,

but I thought you'd want to
have this information ASAP.

We detected a neutrino
anomaly in Freeland.

The same anomaly that appeared
when Dr. Jace was abducted

at the Freeland
Police Department.

So, the teleporter.
Are we tracking?

As of two minutes ago, the
anomaly has already shown up

at the perimeter outside the
armory and the detainment facility.

Which leaves only three
high-level targets left.

Command center,

perimeter generator,
and The Pit.

And since The
Pit is a black site...

We should concentrate on the
generator and the command center.

Sir, I agree.

I've already put the
protocols in place.

Good.

Let's see who's looking
through our refrigerator.

[people chattering indistinctly]

[beeps]

[device beeps]

[beeps]

So?

- You get what you need?
- No.

[Agent Odell] Colonel Mosin!

[guns cocking]

It's been too long.

Don't strain yourself, son.

I had neutrino disruptors

placed around all
of our critical assets.

After your great
escape with Dr. Jace,

you're trapped...
in here, with us.

[chuckles]

We'll see about that.

[gunshots firing]

Gambi, you hearing this?

Sounds like a war is
breaking out at Club 100.

[soldier coughing]

[Coughs]

Now... we'll finish...

what we started in Moscow.

[electricity crackling]

[male automated voice]
Neutrino disruptors disabled.

Catch you later.

- You should've taken out Colonel Mosin.
- I don't kill people.

[coughs and laughs]

Pathetic.

- I'm glad that you're doing this.
- [Jamillah] Me, too.

Gina, Reverend Holt, Kyrie,

let me introduce you to Jamillah
Olsen, the new voice of a new Freeland.

Good to see you
again, Ms. Olsen.

- Glad to have you with us.
- I'm happy to be here, Reverend.

Once Jamal plugs this in,
you have about two minutes

to say all you need to say.

[sighs] No pressure.

Remember, once you do
this, there's no turning back.

- Let's make herstory.
- Good.

[powering up]

[exhales]

Wake up, Freeland.

The insurgents
are not your enemy.

They're fighting to
protect us, all of us,

against the tyranny of
our so-called protectors...

the ASA.

Are you such a coward

that you could not wait one
more second before you run away?

We could have
finished them both.

First, I don't run. I
make people run.

Second,

you hired me to get you
in and out of Freeland,

not fight Black Lightning.

Now, I held up my
end of the bargain...

I suggest you do the same.

[computer beeps]

[cell phone chimes]

Nice doing business with you.

It looks like you both had
a typical visit to Freeland.

I thought you should know that

the metas at the detainment
facility are showing no sign of illness.

Which means Dr. Stewart has either
discovered a way to stabilize the metas,

or she's only days away.

And once she does, we
will acquire that information

and use it to stabilize
our own army of metas.

["Portuguese Love" playing]

Hey, baby, how you doin'.

Wow, it's really
been A long time.

You know.

Remember that night.

You remember.

On a starry winter
night In Portugal.

Where the ocean Kissed
the southern shore.

There a dream I never thought.

Would come to pass.

Came and went like time
Spent through an hourglass...

You made love to
me Like fire and rain.

Ooh, you know you've
got to be A hurricane.

Killing me with
kisses Oh, so subtly.

You make love forever, baby...

You make love forever.

I ain't gonna Let
you go that easy.

You've got to say
You love me too.

I ain't gonna Let
you go that easy

I'm gonna give it AH to you...

Lynn, what're you doing?

What does it look like
I'm doing? I'm leaving.

[distorted] Because I didn't tell you
I was going out as Black Lightning?

[distorted] You say it like it's
nothing. That just proves my point.

[in normal voice] You
claim you value me,

and yet, you don't consider me.

[Jefferson] Did you consider me
before taking the job with the ASA?

I had 1:0!

I'm the only one that
can help those kids.

Without me, they'd all die.

Welcome to my life.

[Lynn sighs]

Look, Lynn, what I see is you
spending more time at The Pit

than with your own family.

Why is that? Hmm?

[distorted] Is there
something you want to tell me?

- Talk to me.
- [in normal voice] Why talk, Jeff?

I talk, you don't listen,
history repeats itself.

[Jefferson sighs]

The very definition of crazy

is doing the same thing
over and over again

and expecting
a different result.

Well, I'm not crazy, I'm done.

Come on, you don't...
you don't mean that.

I'll send someone over
to get the rest of my stuff.

Lynn.

Come on. Lynn!

[door closes]

[closing theme music playing]
