00:00:00,010 --> 00:00:01,810
[Gambi] Previously on
Black Lightning...
2
00:00:01,890 --> 00:00:04,980
Thirty years ago, I came to
Freeland as an agent for the ASA.
3
00:00:04,981 --> 00:00:07,600
Their vaccine inadvertently
created metahumans.
4
00:00:07,680 --> 00:00:10,060
[Agent Odell] We need to know
what we're dealing with.
5
00:00:10,070 --> 00:00:12,940
- Agent Odell...
- You wanted the job. This is it.
6
00:00:13,020 --> 00:00:17,070
We're going to have to sue the government
for the return of your loved ones.
7
00:00:17,150 --> 00:00:20,570
We need to raise
well over $500,000.
8
00:00:20,650 --> 00:00:22,830
[all grunting]
9
00:00:26,200 --> 00:00:27,450
Praise the Lord.
10
00:00:27,460 --> 00:00:29,080
The school board
found your replacement.
11
00:00:29,160 --> 00:00:33,960
I am honored to remain
at Garfield as a teacher.
12
00:00:34,040 --> 00:00:36,630
What could possibly
keep Jefferson Pierce
13
00:00:36,710 --> 00:00:40,520
away from Garfield High
after it was attacked?
14
00:00:40,590 --> 00:00:43,140
Jefferson Pierce
was already there.
15
00:00:43,210 --> 00:00:46,770
Discovering you have powers must
be mind-blowing on so many levels.
16
00:00:46,840 --> 00:00:49,020
Which part do you want me
to deal with first, Mom?
17
00:00:49,090 --> 00:00:50,100
Watch your tone, young lady!
18
00:00:50,180 --> 00:00:51,770
[Jennifer grunts]
19
00:00:51,780 --> 00:00:53,730
- [crying in pain]
- Mom, are you okay?
20
00:00:53,740 --> 00:00:56,940
Now, the purpose of Black
Lightning was to kill Tobias
21
00:00:56,950 --> 00:01:01,280
for literally shoving my father's
articles down his throat until he died.
22
00:01:01,360 --> 00:01:03,170
Detective Summers,
what do you got for me?
23
00:01:06,070 --> 00:01:07,490
[groans]
24
00:01:07,570 --> 00:01:09,290
- And why would I help you?
- I know who has the briefcase.
25
00:01:09,300 --> 00:01:11,960
- [beeping]
- I need the briefcase.
26
00:01:12,030 --> 00:01:13,130
Time to die.
27
00:01:13,210 --> 00:01:15,220
[gasps and screams]
28
00:01:16,140 --> 00:01:17,720

[grunting angrily]
30
00:01:34,100 --> 00:01:35,980
Ahhh! Let me go!
31
00:01:36,060 --> 00:01:37,190
Let me go!
32
00:01:37,270 --> 00:01:38,740
Roommate thinks
it's Green Light.
33
00:01:38,820 --> 00:01:41,490
I had to knock her out with my
nightstick just to cuff her.
34
00:01:41,560 --> 00:01:44,110
What happened? Start with
five milligrams lorazepam,
35
00:01:44,130 --> 00:01:46,670
- followed by three milligrams...
- [yelling hysterically]
36

00:02:05,710 --> 00:02:07,390
- [siren wailing]
- Stop!
44
00:02:07,460 --> 00:02:10,480
[officer] Police. Stop!
We're not gonna hurt you.
45
00:02:11,130 --> 00:02:12,070
Come on.
46
00:02:14,690 --> 00:02:15,700
Don't make us.
47
00:02:17,640 --> 00:02:18,700
[woman] I gotta get home.
48
00:02:21,440 --> 00:02:23,080
I got to get home.
49
00:02:24,110 --> 00:02:25,210
[straining]
50
00:02:26,860 --> 00:02:28,530
Okay, okay.
51
00:02:28,610 --> 00:02:30,280
Okay, hell, I get it.
52
00:02:30,350 --> 00:02:32,550
- I gotta get home. I gotta get home.
- Look, I wanna go home, too.
53
00:02:33,880 --> 00:02:35,970
Why don't you just come with us?
54
00:02:36,040 --> 00:02:37,630
I gotta get home.
55
00:02:37,640 --> 00:02:38,890
[grunting]

00:02:40,120 --> 00:02:42,010
I can't... I... [grunts]

[thuds]
59
00:02:55,470 --> 00:02:58,060
Tell us why you need to get home.
60
00:02:58,140 --> 00:02:59,900
Is there something
you need to get to?
61
00:02:59,980 --> 00:03:01,990
Is there someone
who's waiting for you?
62
00:03:02,070 --> 00:03:03,410
Tell me,
63
00:03:04,330 --> 00:03:05,580
what do you need?
64
00:03:07,910 --> 00:03:09,100
Let me help you.

00:03:12,860 --> 00:03:13,840

Synced & corrected by MaxPayne
== https://subscene.com ==
67
00:03:33,230 --> 00:03:35,940
And this is the last one. It's a
camera from inside the school.
68
00:03:37,520 --> 00:03:39,240
- [computer beeps]
- [static crackling]
69
00:03:39,310 --> 00:03:42,690
[sighing] There isn't a single
camera inside or outside of Garfield
70
00:03:42,700 --> 00:03:45,620
that captured Tobias
or Syonide on school premises.
71
00:03:48,710 --> 00:03:50,040
[frustrated sigh]
72
00:03:50,120 --> 00:03:51,780
All right.
73
00:03:51,860 --> 00:03:54,120
Look, I know that the footage
74
00:03:54,200 --> 00:03:56,710
from my goggles
isn't admissible,
75
00:03:56,790 --> 00:03:58,530
but maybe if we just
show it to the police...
76
00:03:58,610 --> 00:04:01,710
I mean, it'll motivate them to put
more energy behind finding him.
77
00:04:01,790 --> 00:04:04,460
They've been trying
to find Tobias for 30 years.
78
00:04:04,540 --> 00:04:06,470
- [static on record player]
- Energy might not be the problem.
79
00:04:06,540 --> 00:04:08,130
So it's still all on us.
80
00:04:08,210 --> 00:04:09,520
Nothing's changed.
81
00:04:10,550 --> 00:04:11,850
Well, not nothing.
82
00:04:11,920 --> 00:04:14,060
Tobias has got Painkiller
and he's got that
83
00:04:14,140 --> 00:04:17,810
ASA briefcase of Proctor's, which, according
to your Ms. Fowdy, contains hell.
84
00:04:17,890 --> 00:04:19,150
[jazz music playing]
85
00:04:20,260 --> 00:04:22,910
You know, your pep talks need work.
86
00:04:22,980 --> 00:04:29,200
Okay, so Khalil, he's still the
best path to finding Tobias.
87
00:04:29,270 --> 00:04:32,880
I just hope the kid I knew
is still in there somewhere.
88
00:04:32,950 --> 00:04:35,410
I don't think the kids that he
darted would feel the same way.
89
00:04:35,490 --> 00:04:37,960
Well, speaking of which, I
could use one of those darts.
90
00:04:38,040 --> 00:04:40,760
I've been trying to develop an
antidote based on your blood sample,
91
00:04:40,830 --> 00:04:42,580
but you have
screwed up chemistry.
92
00:04:42,600 --> 00:04:45,050
I would prefer a dart
that hasn't been activated.
93
00:04:45,120 --> 00:04:46,680
Okay. Anything else?
94
00:04:47,790 --> 00:04:49,140
Don't let him kill you again.

[Tobias] Khalil.
97
00:05:06,190 --> 00:05:07,200
Khalil.
98
00:05:08,810 --> 00:05:10,040
Khalil!
99
00:05:11,210 --> 00:05:12,740
Man, I didn't hear you.
100
00:05:12,820 --> 00:05:14,330
You were focused, that's good.
101
00:05:16,490 --> 00:05:20,010
[sighs] Incredible focus was one
of Syonide's best qualities.
102
00:05:27,290 --> 00:05:30,060
Run me through the pick-up
schedule for protection money.
103
00:05:31,460 --> 00:05:33,350
Uh, money is paid on Monday.
104
00:05:34,390 --> 00:05:36,810
Whoa! Hey.
105
00:05:36,890 --> 00:05:38,980
- Man, what the hell.
- I didn't tell you to let it go.
106
00:05:46,640 --> 00:05:47,570
Take it.
107
00:05:54,480 --> 00:05:56,580
- Go on.
- Money's paid on Monday.
108
00:05:56,650 --> 00:05:58,950
Delivered to consolidators
on Tue... Ah!
109
00:05:59,030 --> 00:06:00,230
[imitates Khalil] Psst. Ah!
110
00:06:00,230 --> 00:06:02,050
You're a bit of a slow
learner, aren't you?
111
00:06:07,700 --> 00:06:08,700
Hmm.
112
00:06:11,770 --> 00:06:13,760
Paid Monday, consolidated Tuesday,
113
00:06:13,840 --> 00:06:15,090
brought to me on Wednesday.
114
00:06:15,170 --> 00:06:16,440
I count it and bring it to you.
Ow.
115
00:06:17,550 --> 00:06:18,880
[Tobias] Hmm.
116
00:06:18,960 --> 00:06:22,270
It's important to have
a schedule and stick to it.
117
00:06:22,340 --> 00:06:24,520
With Syonide gone,
you're gonna have to man up.
118
00:06:24,600 --> 00:06:25,820
Do more.
119
00:06:27,020 --> 00:06:28,450
Burn what's left.
120
00:06:30,850 --> 00:06:32,820
[reporter] According to
Reverend Jeremiah Holt,
121
00:06:32,900 --> 00:06:34,990
after almost three decades,
122
00:06:35,070 --> 00:06:37,880
his church's Rebecca Lee
Crumpler Free Clinic
123
00:06:37,950 --> 00:06:39,990
is in danger of shutting down.
124
00:06:40,070 --> 00:06:43,370
A redevelopment project
led by Vladislav Zlovac
125
00:06:43,380 --> 00:06:45,960
has bought all the other
buildings on the block,
126
00:06:46,030 --> 00:06:47,960
and by acquiring
the Clinic facility,
127
00:06:48,040 --> 00:06:50,210
hopes to create
a multi-use complex
128
00:06:50,220 --> 00:06:53,130
that will be, according
to zoning applications,
129
00:06:53,210 --> 00:06:55,280
"The Crown Jewel of Freeland."
130
00:06:55,290 --> 00:06:58,800
The Clinic has less than two weeks
to find a way to remain open.
131
00:06:58,880 --> 00:07:01,680
Our calls to Zlovac's office
for comment went unanswered.
132
00:07:01,690 --> 00:07:05,140
Man, these real estate guys are
no better than drug dealers.
133
00:07:05,220 --> 00:07:06,320
[Jennifer] Mmm-hmm.
134
00:07:08,600 --> 00:07:10,400
These people are gonna die
without that Clinic.
135
00:07:10,410 --> 00:07:11,890
They won't get preventative care.
136
00:07:11,970 --> 00:07:14,650
They won't get prenatal care.
They won't get diagnostic
137
00:07:14,730 --> 00:07:16,250
Whoa! You're dating Zoe B?
138
00:07:17,230 --> 00:07:18,950
[chuckling] Yo, that's crazy.
139
00:07:18,960 --> 00:07:20,580
You're gonna get crushed though.
140
00:07:20,660 --> 00:07:22,450
She gonna love you one minute,
forget you the next.
141
00:07:22,460 --> 00:07:25,080
I can't believe you're following
my dating life on social media.
142
00:07:25,090 --> 00:07:27,370
Okay, first of all, ain't nobody
following your dating life,
143
00:07:27,450 --> 00:07:28,690
okay, it just popped up.
144
00:07:28,690 --> 00:07:30,430
And second, what else
do you expect me to do
145
00:07:30,500 --> 00:07:33,380
when the only freedom I have is to
walk around the block for exercise?
146
00:07:33,460 --> 00:07:35,210
- [sighs]
- By the way,
147
00:07:35,280 --> 00:07:37,840
do you know what Mom and Dad plan
on doing about my situation?
148
00:07:37,920 --> 00:07:39,510
No, but...
149
00:07:39,590 --> 00:07:42,510
I do hear your name a lot
in whispered conversations.
150
00:07:42,590 --> 00:07:44,890
Okay, so you hear my name,
but not what they're saying?
151
00:07:44,970 --> 00:07:46,940
Nothing about me going
back to school? Come on.
152
00:07:47,020 --> 00:07:49,850
I'm not about to hide behind the
couch and listen to our parents.
153
00:07:49,930 --> 00:07:51,860
I would do the same thing
for you, Harriet.
154
00:07:51,870 --> 00:07:54,230
Just like I'm telling you
the truth about
155
00:07:54,310 --> 00:07:56,860
you needing to stop focusing
on this shiny object.
156
00:07:56,940 --> 00:07:57,960
You're wasting your time,
for real.
157
00:07:58,030 --> 00:07:59,670
I'm not wasting anything.
158
00:08:00,630 --> 00:08:01,630
Zoe was fine.
159
00:08:02,280 --> 00:08:03,850
And, besides,
160
00:08:03,850 --> 00:08:05,710
aren't you the one who told me
I need to get back out there?
161
00:08:08,160 --> 00:08:09,370
[crackling]
162
00:08:09,450 --> 00:08:11,580
- Ouch!
- [laughs]
163
00:08:11,600 --> 00:08:13,640
Jen, did you just
have an energy spike?
164
00:08:13,710 --> 00:08:14,750
No.
165
00:08:14,830 --> 00:08:16,050
I've been trying
to control my powers
166
00:08:16,120 --> 00:08:17,650
so Mom and Dad will set me free.
167
00:08:17,650 --> 00:08:21,220
[sighs] There's one digit
that I almost feel good about.
168
00:08:21,300 --> 00:08:23,040
Anyway, I'm just saying
169
00:08:23,040 --> 00:08:24,810
you need to get into a relationship
that actually means something.
170
00:08:24,820 --> 00:08:27,060
Not some
social media booty call,
171
00:08:27,140 --> 00:08:29,270
'cause in two or three years,
when you're old and wrinkly,
172
00:08:29,350 --> 00:08:31,350
- ain't nobody gonna be looking at you anyway.
- Mmm-hmm.
173
00:08:31,430 --> 00:08:34,110
Gonna be saving clinics with only
your super-suit to keep you company.
174
00:08:34,180 --> 00:08:35,730
- Is that what you want? [Laughs]
- Oh!
175
00:08:35,800 --> 00:08:38,570
[laughing] So, really, so you
just zapped me outta love?
176
00:08:38,650 --> 00:08:41,740
Yeah, and to wake your ass up.
Zoe B is a bad look for you.
177
00:08:41,820 --> 00:08:44,330
She's cotton candy,
and you need soul food.
178
00:08:49,530 --> 00:08:52,680
How about Coleman at Trinity
or Harrison at Stanford?
179
00:08:52,750 --> 00:08:55,010
You already asked them
and they said no.
180
00:08:55,090 --> 00:08:57,090
Yeah, but maybe you could bring the
weight of the government to bear
181
00:08:57,170 --> 00:08:58,670
and convince them
to come on board.
182
00:08:58,680 --> 00:09:00,470
We prefer Dr. Jace.
183
00:09:00,540 --> 00:09:02,850
Why?
She's insane, Agent Odell.
184
00:09:02,930 --> 00:09:05,600
She's a leading computational
chemist in the US
185
00:09:05,670 --> 00:09:10,440
and no one has her experience in
protein synthesis simulations.
186
00:09:10,510 --> 00:09:12,650
If I'm gonna save these children,
187
00:09:12,720 --> 00:09:15,020
I need great minds that I don't
need to hide the knives from.
188
00:09:15,030 --> 00:09:17,940
You told me that
you needed more help.
189
00:09:18,020 --> 00:09:21,030
This is what I have to offer.
190
00:09:21,040 --> 00:09:24,290
It's hard not to see this as you
trying to sabotage my efforts.
191
00:09:25,690 --> 00:09:27,790
If I was trying to do that,
192
00:09:27,860 --> 00:09:29,130
you'd have failed by now.
193
00:09:31,380 --> 00:09:34,550
Agent Odell, when these kids
die, it's on your head.
194
00:09:36,540 --> 00:09:38,000
No, it's not, Dr. Stewart.
195
00:09:38,080 --> 00:09:40,800
Need I remind you
that you stole this job,
196
00:09:40,880 --> 00:09:44,560
so everything after that is on you.
197
00:09:44,640 --> 00:09:46,860
You know, I'm gonna
set up a meeting...
198
00:09:48,220 --> 00:09:50,900
so that you can convince
199
00:09:51,760 --> 00:09:53,490
Dr. Jace to, uh,
200
00:09:54,390 --> 00:09:55,950
come on board.
201
00:10:16,410 --> 00:10:17,680
[drill whirring]
202
00:10:23,770 --> 00:10:25,190
[metal detector beeping]
203
00:10:36,160 --> 00:10:38,070
[Principal Lowry] No, no,
we absolutely can do that
204
00:10:39,370 --> 00:10:40,370
Okay.
205
00:10:41,640 --> 00:10:43,240
Okay, no, that's perfect.
206
00:10:43,310 --> 00:10:45,410
Right. Okay, great.
Thank you so much. Bye-bye.
207
00:10:49,960 --> 00:10:52,130
- I'm Jeffer...
- Mr. Pierce. Yes.
208
00:10:52,970 --> 00:10:53,960
Principal Lowry.
209
00:10:56,280 --> 00:10:57,260
Mr. Lowry...
210
00:10:58,450 --> 00:10:59,510
welcome to Garfield.
211
00:11:00,710 --> 00:11:02,640
[exhales] Yeah.
212
00:11:02,720 --> 00:11:06,130
- Would you like me to show you around the school?
- No.
213
00:11:06,210 --> 00:11:08,760
But I did hear about your
meeting with the students.
214
00:11:08,840 --> 00:11:10,580
Classy.
215
00:11:10,660 --> 00:11:13,730
Yeah, uh, I just wanna make sure
the transition is easier for them.
216
00:11:13,800 --> 00:11:16,560
Right, well, let's hope it worked.
217
00:11:16,640 --> 00:11:19,530
- Listen, Mr. Lowry...
- It's Principal Lowry.
218
00:11:21,480 --> 00:11:23,240
Yes, of course.
219
00:11:24,070 --> 00:11:25,990
The metal detectors,
220
00:11:26,000 --> 00:11:28,280
- is that really necessary?
- Obviously.
221
00:11:28,360 --> 00:11:31,080
Or you'd still have this job.
222
00:11:31,150 --> 00:11:35,000
Now, since I don't seem to have an
office just yet, why don't we meet
223
00:11:35,010 --> 00:11:37,830
in the conference room to go over
a few things in about an hour?
224
00:11:37,910 --> 00:11:39,430
- Sounds good.
- Good.
225
00:11:44,710 --> 00:11:46,640
[classic R&B music playing on earphones]
226
00:12:06,210 --> 00:12:07,330
Are you all right?
227
00:12:08,020 --> 00:12:08,960
Can I help you?
228
00:12:10,080 --> 00:12:12,490
Aren't you sweet.
229
00:12:12,570 --> 00:12:14,920
I'm in the neighborhood
to meet with you, Jennifer.
230
00:12:16,740 --> 00:12:17,960
You just said my name.
231
00:12:17,970 --> 00:12:19,090
Did I?
232
00:12:20,700 --> 00:12:21,970
My name is Perenna.
233
00:12:26,270 --> 00:12:27,720
- [gasps]
- Hey, easy. Calm down.
234
00:12:27,790 --> 00:12:29,510
What the hell?
Where are we?
235
00:12:29,590 --> 00:12:30,730
- Sit down and...
- No!
236
00:12:30,800 --> 00:12:32,480
You're safe here.
I just wanna talk yo you...
237
00:12:32,560 --> 00:12:35,970
No, I don't wanna talk! Take me
back to where we just came from!
238
00:12:35,980 --> 00:12:39,140
I'm serious!
Get me out of here, now!
239
00:12:39,220 --> 00:12:41,810
- Wow, it's not by the bottle.
- [laughing] The craft. Was that correct?
240
00:12:41,820 --> 00:12:44,320
- [Jefferson] The craft...
- How could you two do that?
241
00:12:44,390 --> 00:12:46,280
Hmm? No warning, no choice,
242
00:12:46,360 --> 00:12:49,320
just sending some random woman
to track me down on the street.
243
00:12:49,400 --> 00:12:52,080
It's not bad enough that
I'm trapped in this house,
244
00:12:52,160 --> 00:12:53,750
that I can't live my life,
245
00:12:53,830 --> 00:12:55,660
but now I don't even deserve to
know what's happening to me?
246
00:12:55,740 --> 00:12:57,110
Of course you do,
Perenna just wanted...
247
00:12:57,190 --> 00:12:58,710
[shouts] Does it look like
I care what she wanted?
248
00:12:58,780 --> 00:13:00,260
Whoa! Young lady.
249
00:13:00,330 --> 00:13:01,510
Now watch how you talk to your mother.
250
00:13:02,330 --> 00:13:03,260
[scoffs]
251
00:13:06,050 --> 00:13:08,010
What about what I want?
252
00:13:08,080 --> 00:13:11,180
How about how I feel?
Do you guys ever think about that?
253
00:13:11,250 --> 00:13:12,520
[Jefferson] Je... Jen.
254
00:13:13,110 --> 00:13:14,270
Every moment.
255
00:13:14,350 --> 00:13:15,850
Perenna felt it was
important to meet you
256
00:13:15,920 --> 00:13:18,180
without there being
expectations on your part.
257
00:13:18,260 --> 00:13:19,770
Look, we're sorry
if you feel sandbagged...
258
00:13:19,840 --> 00:13:22,520
You don't understand,
I'm way past sandbagged!
259
00:13:22,600 --> 00:13:23,610
Sweetheart...
260
00:13:24,770 --> 00:13:26,400
we don't have any other ideas
261
00:13:26,480 --> 00:13:28,860
on how to help you
control your powers, and we...
262
00:13:28,940 --> 00:13:31,950
We don't want you to hurt
yourself or other people.
263
00:13:31,960 --> 00:13:33,200
Gambi just suggested Perenna
264
00:13:33,270 --> 00:13:34,910
because of her special skills.
265
00:13:34,980 --> 00:13:36,160
You think I'm a monster.
266
00:13:36,240 --> 00:13:38,040
- No! No!
- No, we don't.
267
00:13:38,110 --> 00:13:40,340
Baby girl, no.
268
00:13:43,280 --> 00:13:44,430
Look, I'm so sorry.
269
00:13:49,620 --> 00:13:50,970
It's my fault.
270
00:13:50,980 --> 00:13:54,060
Okay? All of it is my fault.
271
00:13:55,300 --> 00:13:57,560
If I could take it away,
I would.
272
00:14:05,820 --> 00:14:07,070
I'm sorry.
273
00:14:13,310 --> 00:14:15,750
This is not the life
I wanted for you.
274
00:14:25,410 --> 00:14:26,600
[siren whoops]
275
00:14:28,620 --> 00:14:29,930
[indistinct radio chatter]
276
00:14:33,090 --> 00:14:34,900
- Deputy Chief Henderson?
- Yes.
277
00:14:36,850 --> 00:14:39,850
- What's your name, son?
- Hicks. Roman Hicks, sir.
278
00:14:39,930 --> 00:14:42,690
This is my tenth day on the job.
279
00:14:42,760 --> 00:14:44,400
[Inspector Henderson]
All right, what you got here?
280
00:14:44,470 --> 00:14:47,440
Well, there's a scorched service
weapon under the front seat
281
00:14:47,450 --> 00:14:49,780
- and a...
- A crispy critter on it.
282
00:14:49,790 --> 00:14:51,620
Well, I wouldn't
have said that, but yes.
283
00:14:53,940 --> 00:14:55,870
This...
284
00:14:55,940 --> 00:14:57,920
This looks like
one of our unmarked cars.
285
00:14:59,630 --> 00:15:01,630
Does it belong
to Detective Summers?
286
00:15:01,710 --> 00:15:04,470
Well, the fire was hot enough to melt
most of the serial numbers off the dash,
287
00:15:04,540 --> 00:15:07,090
but the five numbers
we can read match.
288
00:15:07,830 --> 00:15:08,850
Well...
289
00:15:10,640 --> 00:15:12,500
now we know why he was missing.
290
00:15:12,580 --> 00:15:15,310
Medical examiner said he'd have the
dental ID in a couple of hours.
291
00:15:15,390 --> 00:15:17,060
You see anything
like this at the academy?
292
00:15:19,230 --> 00:15:21,060
Well, that's
a professional torch job
293
00:15:21,130 --> 00:15:23,320
to hide evidence.
What does that tell you?
294
00:15:23,400 --> 00:15:26,770
That the killer didn't
wanna be tied to the scene.
295
00:15:26,850 --> 00:15:29,410
Which means this is a
next-level kind of criminal...
296
00:15:31,030 --> 00:15:34,120
and Detective Summers
was probably doing bad things.
297
00:15:35,330 --> 00:15:37,330
[machine humming]
298
00:15:39,840 --> 00:15:40,840
[door buzzes]
299
00:15:45,080 --> 00:15:46,470
[chain rattling]
300
00:16:01,010 --> 00:16:01,940
[Lynn] Dr. Jace?
301
00:16:03,680 --> 00:16:05,440
I'm Dr. Lynn Stewart.
302
00:16:05,510 --> 00:16:06,900
Did they tell you
why you were coming here?
303
00:16:07,680 --> 00:16:09,270
No.
304
00:16:09,350 --> 00:16:11,370
I'd like to include you in a team
working to save the children
305
00:16:11,440 --> 00:16:14,320
who were the victims of the vaccinations
and Green Light experiments.
306
00:16:14,400 --> 00:16:15,750
The pod kids.
307
00:16:17,360 --> 00:16:18,330
[Lynn] Yes.
308
00:16:20,030 --> 00:16:21,460
Do you know what I did?
309
00:16:22,860 --> 00:16:26,210
You had a theory
about infrared spectroscopy
310
00:16:26,280 --> 00:16:29,130
and its use in the treatment
of neuropathy.
311
00:16:29,200 --> 00:16:32,960
You conducted an unauthorized
experiment on 11 patients,
312
00:16:33,040 --> 00:16:35,800
causing them to lose their feet.
313
00:16:35,880 --> 00:16:39,390
Despite that terrible
lapse in judgment,
314
00:16:39,470 --> 00:16:41,850
I'm confident
you can contribute.
315
00:16:41,860 --> 00:16:43,180
So, what's in it for me?
316
00:16:43,260 --> 00:16:44,640
[scoffs]
317
00:16:44,720 --> 00:16:47,020
Wouldn't you rather
be doing science
318
00:16:47,100 --> 00:16:48,280
than sitting in a cell?
319
00:16:48,280 --> 00:16:51,270
I do science all the time,
Dr. Stewart.
320
00:16:51,350 --> 00:16:54,370
They took away my lab,
they didn't take away my mind.
321
00:16:56,150 --> 00:16:58,830
I understand officials have
denied you visits to your son.
322
00:17:01,590 --> 00:17:05,460
If you help me, I will try
to facilitate a visit.
323
00:17:10,240 --> 00:17:12,500
Ten.
324
00:17:12,580 --> 00:17:16,600
- Excuse me?
- Ten patients lost their feet. One died.
325
00:17:29,760 --> 00:17:30,850
[Reverend Holt]
Melinda, is that you?
326
00:17:30,930 --> 00:17:32,060
I thought you were
going to choir rehearsal.
327
00:17:32,140 --> 00:17:33,410
[muffled voice]
Don't turn around.
328
00:17:34,930 --> 00:17:36,610
Whoever you are,
329
00:17:36,620 --> 00:17:39,450
this week's donation has already
been taken to the bank.
330
00:17:39,460 --> 00:17:41,360
I'm not here to take your money.
331
00:17:41,440 --> 00:17:42,670
I brought you money.
332
00:17:45,110 --> 00:17:47,550
[chuckling] Ah.
333
00:17:48,580 --> 00:17:50,670
Robin Hood. Listen, um...
334
00:17:51,950 --> 00:17:53,700
I never got a chance
to say thank you.
335
00:17:53,780 --> 00:17:56,380
You should use some of that money
to help save the Crumpler Clinic.
336
00:17:56,390 --> 00:18:01,300
Your donation has already been distributed
to the lawyers for the children in the pods.
337
00:18:01,310 --> 00:18:04,600
And though I'm very grateful,
it still isn't enough.
338
00:18:04,670 --> 00:18:06,930
How much do you need?
339
00:18:06,940 --> 00:18:09,560
If you could write a check, you
wouldn't be wearing that mask.
340
00:18:09,640 --> 00:18:10,650
That wasn't my question.
341
00:18:13,310 --> 00:18:17,660
Well, we have the right of
first refusal on the building.
342
00:18:17,740 --> 00:18:21,160
Fair market value is
a little more than $300,000.
343
00:18:23,820 --> 00:18:24,750
Okay.
344
00:18:25,400 --> 00:18:26,460
Young lady...
345
00:18:29,410 --> 00:18:30,380
can I pray for you?
346
00:18:34,750 --> 00:18:39,510
Lord, we know that you move
in mysterious ways.
347
00:18:39,590 --> 00:18:42,930
So we just come to you today
asking you to keep everyone safe,
348
00:18:43,000 --> 00:18:46,520
and asking you
to let your goodness flow
349
00:18:47,340 --> 00:18:49,430
into the dark places
350
00:18:49,510 --> 00:18:52,400
for the benefit
of all of your children.
351
00:18:52,480 --> 00:18:53,440
[Anissa] Amen.
352
00:18:54,390 --> 00:18:55,450
Amen.
353
00:18:59,270 --> 00:19:01,200
[jazz music playing]
354
00:19:10,200 --> 00:19:11,250
Any issues?
355
00:19:13,220 --> 00:19:15,050
Rion didn't show.
356
00:19:15,130 --> 00:19:17,460
I found him at his house
with some chicken-head.
357
00:19:17,540 --> 00:19:20,130
He had it,
he just got distracted.
358
00:19:20,210 --> 00:19:23,130
That's what happens when these Negros
grow up without their daddies.
359
00:19:23,140 --> 00:19:25,300
All they wanna do is lay
up between a woman's legs
360
00:19:25,380 --> 00:19:28,310
and have another baby they're
not gonna take care of.
361
00:19:29,900 --> 00:19:32,030
Your father ain't live
at home either, did he?
362
00:19:34,390 --> 00:19:35,980
No.
363
00:19:36,060 --> 00:19:37,810
- But my mom was...
- You need to check Rion
364
00:19:37,890 --> 00:19:40,200
so he understands
the importance of structure.
365
00:19:41,230 --> 00:19:42,400
Last week, he was late.
366
00:19:42,410 --> 00:19:44,650
This time,
you had to go find him.
367
00:19:44,730 --> 00:19:46,370
Next, he'll come up
short on the count.
368
00:19:47,320 --> 00:19:49,040
Nip it in the bud now.
369
00:21:07,270 --> 00:21:09,210
[R&B music playing]
370
00:21:20,120 --> 00:21:21,180
Hi, Grace.
371
00:21:26,960 --> 00:21:28,100
What do you want?
372
00:21:28,960 --> 00:21:29,940
I just wanna talk.
373
00:21:30,960 --> 00:21:32,100
I meant to drink.
374
00:21:34,420 --> 00:21:36,020
[sighs]
375
00:21:36,090 --> 00:21:38,520
Look, I'm sorry
you saw me at Zoe's.
376
00:21:38,600 --> 00:21:39,780
You mean caught you at Zoe's?
377
00:21:40,760 --> 00:21:43,730
No, that's not what I meant.
378
00:21:43,810 --> 00:21:46,900
I am sorry that I dropped
off without a conversation,
379
00:21:46,980 --> 00:21:49,240
but you and I weren't
in a relationship.
380
00:21:49,310 --> 00:21:51,370
Doesn't mean I couldn't
have had better manners,
381
00:21:51,440 --> 00:21:53,380
but it also doesn't mean
I couldn't see other people.
382
00:21:56,800 --> 00:21:58,750
And I sure hope
you were seeing other people
383
00:21:58,820 --> 00:22:03,090
because you are
too damn fine to be lonely.
384
00:22:04,470 --> 00:22:07,310
Yeah, I was
seeing plenty of people.
385
00:22:07,380 --> 00:22:09,060
Not that it's
any of your business.
386
00:22:11,130 --> 00:22:13,730
No. No, none of
my business at all.
387
00:22:16,930 --> 00:22:18,400
Grace, I...
388
00:22:19,650 --> 00:22:23,660
I take my work
really, really seriously,
389
00:22:23,730 --> 00:22:26,320
but my sister pointed out
that it doesn't mean
390
00:22:26,330 --> 00:22:28,410
I can't take other things
seriously, too.
391
00:22:31,900 --> 00:22:33,420
I'd like to try.
392
00:22:42,030 --> 00:22:42,970
Hey.
393
00:22:43,660 --> 00:22:44,590
You wanna come in?
394
00:22:45,540 --> 00:22:47,100
This ain't a social call.
395
00:22:56,690 --> 00:22:59,430
[inhales deeply]
I got a murdered cop.
396
00:22:59,510 --> 00:23:02,640
Evidence destruction by fire.
397
00:23:02,720 --> 00:23:04,150
The torch job is professional.
398
00:23:04,220 --> 00:23:05,610
It takes tools and skills,
399
00:23:05,680 --> 00:23:07,360
and only three people
in Freeland could do it.
400
00:23:07,370 --> 00:23:08,740
Two of them
are currently in jail.
401
00:23:10,310 --> 00:23:12,620
- And the third?
- He won't talk to a cop.
402
00:23:14,120 --> 00:23:15,620
His livelihood depends on it.
403
00:23:19,050 --> 00:23:22,960
So, in my, uh, role as
former principal of Garfield,
404
00:23:23,030 --> 00:23:25,580
you want me to convince him
to come clean?
405
00:23:25,660 --> 00:23:28,630
I think Black Lightnin'
might be more persuasive.
406
00:23:28,710 --> 00:23:31,590
I texted you his info
and his mug shot.
407
00:23:31,600 --> 00:23:34,640
[stammers] Wait... So you're cool
with the whole vigilante thing?
408
00:23:42,400 --> 00:23:44,700
- Former principal?
- [chuckles]
409
00:23:46,220 --> 00:23:48,070
I lost my job.
410
00:23:48,080 --> 00:23:50,070
Black Lightning
saved the school.
411
00:23:50,080 --> 00:23:54,540
Jefferson Pierce abandoned the
school and the students, so...
412
00:24:00,900 --> 00:24:02,920
Well, I'm sorry to hear that.
Good night.
413
00:24:05,280 --> 00:24:07,590
Bill...
414
00:24:07,670 --> 00:24:10,140
at some point, we need to
talk this thing out, man.
415
00:24:11,670 --> 00:24:13,270
Yeah, at some point.
416
00:24:19,010 --> 00:24:20,150
Yo, Rion.
417
00:24:21,180 --> 00:24:22,940
Hey, has anybody seen Rion?
418
00:24:26,450 --> 00:24:29,280
I said, has anyone seen Rion?
419
00:24:29,360 --> 00:24:31,360
[Romel] Really, bro?
420
00:24:31,440 --> 00:24:33,900
You walking up in here
like you're Allah,
421
00:24:33,980 --> 00:24:36,540
asking for people
with bass in your voice.
422
00:24:39,630 --> 00:24:41,280
This ain't even
about you, Romel.
423
00:24:41,350 --> 00:24:46,290

whatever the hell your name is...

[laughter]
425
00:24:47,880 --> 00:24:49,930
Not too long ago, your black
ass was in a wheelchair.
426
00:24:50,970 --> 00:24:52,460
Before that...
427
00:24:52,470 --> 00:24:54,600
[scoffs] you were
runnin' track in hot pants.
428

[all laughing]
429
00:24:56,890 --> 00:24:59,640
Now all of a sudden, you a
gangster barking orders?

00:24:59,710 --> 00:25:01,640
Man, you ain't nothin'
but Tobias' bitch.

00:25:01,650 --> 00:25:02,820
- [Khalil] Fine.
- [Romel groans]

First of all,
I ain't nobody's bitch.

And second,
the name's Painkiller.

Rion.

[Romel groans]
439
00:25:21,150 --> 00:25:23,580
Tobias don't like me having to
track you down for his money.
440
00:25:23,650 --> 00:25:24,980
No, I paid you your money.
441
00:25:24,980 --> 00:25:26,910
- Why are you running?
- Ain't nobody running.
442
00:25:26,920 --> 00:25:28,220
- Don't make me chase you.
- [gasps]

[body thuds]
444
00:25:58,735 --> 00:25:59,835
What made you change your mind?
445
00:26:02,565 --> 00:26:05,705
Something my dad said.
[sighs]
446
00:26:05,785 --> 00:26:09,665
Look, can we please just do this so
that we can both get on with our day?
447
00:26:13,375 --> 00:26:15,245
Where the hell are we?
448
00:26:15,325 --> 00:26:18,895
A place inside you that will eventually
allow you to control your powers.
449
00:26:20,015 --> 00:26:21,345
Wait, a salon?
450
00:26:21,425 --> 00:26:23,425
Where is there any
safer space than this?
451
00:26:23,445 --> 00:26:26,395
Although some would argue
that this is a place
452
00:26:26,465 --> 00:26:29,605
that actually strips black women
of who they naturally are.
453
00:26:29,615 --> 00:26:34,695
Uses hot combs, lye, and all sorts of
other alchemy to hide our blackness.
454
00:26:34,765 --> 00:26:37,195
We turned it into something
completely different.
455
00:26:37,275 --> 00:26:41,075
For generations, black women have
come here to talk, to share,
456
00:26:41,085 --> 00:26:45,115
to laugh, to cry,
to be safe from the world.
457
00:26:45,195 --> 00:26:47,255
[indistinct conversations]
458
00:26:50,325 --> 00:26:52,375
Black beauticians
have influenced politics
459
00:26:52,455 --> 00:26:54,375
and been foot soldiers
in the fight for freedom.
460
00:26:54,455 --> 00:26:57,255
Did you know that profits
from shops like this
461
00:26:57,335 --> 00:27:00,255
paid for buses to get people
to the march on Washington?
462
00:27:00,335 --> 00:27:02,645
- Great. Now you sound like my sister.
- [laughs]
463
00:27:02,725 --> 00:27:06,555
Did you seriously bring me here for a
this-week-in-black-history moment?
464
00:27:06,635 --> 00:27:10,475
[smacks lips] I've always
liked the beauty salon.
465
00:27:10,485 --> 00:27:13,485
I manifested this reality
since you're new to the work.
466
00:27:13,565 --> 00:27:16,785
But if you're not going to use it, I
can always take us someplace else.
467
00:27:17,975 --> 00:27:19,575
I just want you
to be comfortable.
468
00:27:21,665 --> 00:27:23,655
I'm not comfortable.
469
00:27:23,665 --> 00:27:25,905
Okay? I really just wanna
go back to the real world.
470
00:27:25,915 --> 00:27:27,915
I know it's hard to believe,
471
00:27:27,985 --> 00:27:29,335
but you're doing
better than most.
472
00:27:30,655 --> 00:27:34,375
And here, anything is possible.
473
00:27:34,385 --> 00:27:37,175
You know what we're do gonna first?
We're gonna practice.
474
00:27:37,185 --> 00:27:39,595
We are going to build a box
to put your feelings in.
475
00:27:41,705 --> 00:27:42,685
What do you want it to be?
476
00:27:43,295 --> 00:27:44,265
Wood?
477
00:27:45,335 --> 00:27:46,275
Rock?
478
00:27:49,505 --> 00:27:50,485
Gold.
479
00:27:51,345 --> 00:27:52,275
[Perenna] Mmm.
480
00:27:53,535 --> 00:27:56,615
All right, let's begin.
[chuckles]
481
00:28:05,065 --> 00:28:06,245
How'd it go?
482
00:28:07,615 --> 00:28:09,965
Went to a beauty salon.
[sighs] Built a box.
483
00:28:11,195 --> 00:28:12,635
Uh, oh, okay.
484
00:28:14,205 --> 00:28:15,215
Good?
485
00:28:16,965 --> 00:28:17,965
Yeah.
486
00:28:22,955 --> 00:28:25,005
Most of the pods are in
this room, but we have
487
00:28:25,085 --> 00:28:28,275
several other rooms where we've isolated
the children with vulnerabilities.
488
00:28:30,145 --> 00:28:32,775
Is the anesthetizing agent
the same for all of them?
489
00:28:33,815 --> 00:28:35,645
Yes.
490
00:28:35,725 --> 00:28:38,485
And like the labs
we were just in,
491
00:28:38,555 --> 00:28:39,905
- make sure you don't cross the line.
- [sensor beeps]
492
00:28:39,985 --> 00:28:41,735
- [electricity crackles]
- [Dr. Jace groans]
493
00:28:41,815 --> 00:28:43,875
- [alarm beeping]
- [Lynn sighs]
494
00:28:45,985 --> 00:28:46,995
[groans softly]
495
00:28:50,065 --> 00:28:51,335
It really works.
496
00:28:52,255 --> 00:28:53,495
[Lynn] Yes.
497
00:28:53,575 --> 00:28:56,665
If you go outside
the prescribed areas,
498
00:28:56,745 --> 00:28:59,295
that implant in your ankle
will disable you.
499
00:28:59,375 --> 00:29:02,755
If you try to remove the
implant, it will disable you.
500
00:29:02,765 --> 00:29:06,765
And if you somehow manage to
get it out and remain alert,
501
00:29:06,845 --> 00:29:10,935
the implant will sound an alarm
and the guards will shoot you.
502
00:29:10,945 --> 00:29:12,165
[Dr. Jace sighs]
503
00:29:12,245 --> 00:29:14,185
I'm pretty sure allowing
guards to shoot me
504
00:29:14,265 --> 00:29:16,855
isn't part of
the Hippocratic Oath.
505
00:29:16,925 --> 00:29:19,035
Or don't you care
about that anymore?
506
00:29:20,895 --> 00:29:22,785
Let me be clear.
507
00:29:22,865 --> 00:29:25,945
You stay out of prison as long
as I say you stay out of prison.
508
00:29:26,025 --> 00:29:29,535
The minute I think you're a danger
to me, or anyone who works here,
509
00:29:29,605 --> 00:29:32,955
or these children, I will have you
thrown into such a dark place,
510
00:29:32,965 --> 00:29:35,415
you'll wonder if the sun still shines.
Do you understand?
511
00:29:35,495 --> 00:29:37,715
Yes. I understand.
512
00:29:40,455 --> 00:29:41,875
We're not gonna be friends.
513
00:29:45,755 --> 00:29:48,055
[Anissa] I couldn't find
a single thing
514
00:29:48,125 --> 00:29:51,475
Zlovac had been involved in
until this Freeland project.
515
00:29:51,555 --> 00:29:54,685
Who even lets a real estate
novice spend a billion dollars?
516
00:29:54,755 --> 00:29:57,355
It's money laundering.
Plain and simple.
517
00:29:57,425 --> 00:29:59,025
There's no other
reasonable explanation.
518
00:29:59,105 --> 00:30:01,075
- The redevelopment project's probably never gonna happen.
- [Sighs]
519
00:30:03,355 --> 00:30:05,405
Where is the dirty money
coming from though?
520
00:30:05,475 --> 00:30:07,115
Who knows? Drugs, guns,
521
00:30:07,185 --> 00:30:10,995
it could be foreign dictators
stealing from widows and orphans.
522
00:30:11,065 --> 00:30:13,495
The clinic is set
to be sold this week.
523
00:30:13,505 --> 00:30:15,925
Does Zlovac have that much
cash in his bank accounts?
524
00:30:18,805 --> 00:30:20,585
[Gambi] Nope.
525
00:30:20,595 --> 00:30:22,265
So the money's not there yet.
526
00:30:25,705 --> 00:30:28,095
- What are you doing?
- I'm not telling you.
527
00:30:28,165 --> 00:30:29,855
You'll run off,
you'll tell my dad.
528
00:30:29,925 --> 00:30:31,305
Next thing I know,
he's trying to stop me...
529
00:30:31,375 --> 00:30:34,095
I am not gonna tell your father.
530
00:30:34,175 --> 00:30:36,605
At least not before you do
what it is you're gonna do.
531
00:30:38,675 --> 00:30:40,975
Excellent.
532
00:30:41,055 --> 00:30:43,275
It doesn't mean I'm gonna
keep my mouth shut, though.
533
00:30:43,345 --> 00:30:46,025
If I see you doing somethin'
stupid, I'm gonna tell you.
534
00:30:46,035 --> 00:30:49,155
I wouldn't expect
anything less, Uncle Gambi.
535
00:30:49,235 --> 00:30:50,165
I'll talk to you.
536
00:31:28,625 --> 00:31:29,695
Turn it off.
537
00:31:29,775 --> 00:31:30,945
What is wrong with you?
538
00:31:31,025 --> 00:31:32,375
Stop electrifying that.
539
00:31:33,505 --> 00:31:34,495
You first.
540
00:31:44,115 --> 00:31:45,345
[clangs]
541
00:31:46,415 --> 00:31:47,385
[groans]
542
00:31:48,595 --> 00:31:49,595
[groaning in pain]
543
00:31:51,085 --> 00:31:52,715
Car in the parking lot.
544
00:31:52,795 --> 00:31:55,135
Guy in the front seat.
Who hired you?
545
00:31:55,215 --> 00:31:56,725
Nope.
546
00:31:56,735 --> 00:31:58,525
- [groaning]
- [electricity crackling]
547
00:31:59,755 --> 00:32:03,895
That electric rope
is about 1,500 volts.
548
00:32:03,975 --> 00:32:06,185
I can generate
a hundred times that.
549
00:32:06,265 --> 00:32:09,235
You got a lot of
flammable things up in here.
550
00:32:09,315 --> 00:32:13,445
I can protect myself,
but, uh, what you gonna do?
551
00:32:13,455 --> 00:32:15,795
- Probably just die, right?
- [panting]
552
00:32:15,865 --> 00:32:17,705
- Who hired you?
- I... I don't know!
553
00:32:17,775 --> 00:32:19,295
This guy just snuck up
554
00:32:19,375 --> 00:32:20,575
behind me in the alley.
555
00:32:20,655 --> 00:32:21,705
Threw some money down.
556
00:32:21,785 --> 00:32:22,795
He told me he was gonna kill me
557
00:32:22,875 --> 00:32:24,375
if I didn't do the job
in the next hour.
558
00:32:24,455 --> 00:32:25,805
What'd he look like?
559
00:32:25,875 --> 00:32:28,885
All I saw were these weird
gladiator things on his arms.
560
00:32:33,955 --> 00:32:36,425
I suggest you find
another line of work.
561
00:32:36,505 --> 00:32:37,565
[groans]
562
00:32:42,965 --> 00:32:45,605
[Inspector Henderson] Tobias
killed Detective Summers?
563
00:32:45,685 --> 00:32:47,225
[Black Lightning]
Gladiator arms.
564
00:32:47,305 --> 00:32:49,855
It sounds like Painkiller, but
that kid is just a sidekick.
565
00:32:49,935 --> 00:32:53,025
At least we know that he's still in
Freeland after the school attack.
566
00:32:53,105 --> 00:32:54,945
Well, I already knew that.
567
00:32:55,025 --> 00:32:58,165
A One Hundred member got darted and
fell off the balcony, broke his neck.
568
00:32:58,245 --> 00:33:00,005
Okay, were you able
to get anything from him
569
00:33:00,075 --> 00:33:02,175
that would lead us
to Painkiller or Tobias?
570
00:33:02,245 --> 00:33:04,745
Well, surprisingly,
between the long fall
571
00:33:04,825 --> 00:33:07,665
and the general lack of life,
he wasn't very chatty.
572
00:33:07,675 --> 00:33:09,505
Why would Tobias
kill your detective?
573
00:33:09,515 --> 00:33:12,585
I don't know, but he isn't a guy
who really needs a reason, right?
574
00:33:12,665 --> 00:33:14,495
What... No.
575
00:33:14,575 --> 00:33:17,515
No, he's worked really hard to stay
out of the spotlight for 30 years.
576
00:33:17,595 --> 00:33:19,245
Why antagonize you now?
577
00:33:19,245 --> 00:33:21,185
Look, I don't know. Maybe he
just didn't wanna be different
578
00:33:21,265 --> 00:33:23,025
than every other
gangster in Freeland.
579
00:33:31,225 --> 00:33:32,495
Good morning, Ms. Payne.
580
00:33:35,525 --> 00:33:36,945
I know why you're here.
581
00:33:37,025 --> 00:33:39,545
I've talked to the police.
582
00:33:39,615 --> 00:33:41,995
I'll tell you, too.
I don't know where he is.
583
00:33:42,075 --> 00:33:44,285
Now I know that's not true.
584
00:33:44,365 --> 00:33:46,125
Maybe he didn't
come home right away.
585
00:33:46,135 --> 00:33:48,795
Too excited about
being back on his feet.
586
00:33:48,865 --> 00:33:52,015
But I saw the news reports when he
was injured. You were right there.
587
00:33:52,965 --> 00:33:55,045
That young man loves you.
588
00:33:55,055 --> 00:33:57,555
So I know he came to see you,
if only to give you money.
589
00:33:57,625 --> 00:33:59,885
Even so, I've got
nothin' to say to you.
590
00:33:59,965 --> 00:34:02,055
I know you wanna save him
from the trouble he's in.
591
00:34:02,065 --> 00:34:05,565
It's too late. That boy
got himself into something.
592
00:34:06,235 --> 00:34:07,605
There's no way out.
593
00:34:07,685 --> 00:34:10,405
That's what he thinks,
and that's what he told you.
594
00:34:10,485 --> 00:34:12,655
But it's not true.
595
00:34:12,725 --> 00:34:15,815
As long as Khalil's alive,
there's hope.
596
00:34:15,835 --> 00:34:18,155
But the clock is ticking.
597
00:34:18,235 --> 00:34:21,655
He's not stronger or smarter than
the people he's in business with.
598
00:34:21,735 --> 00:34:23,075
He give you a burner phone?
599
00:34:23,155 --> 00:34:25,285
A number so you can reach him,
600
00:34:25,365 --> 00:34:28,195
like any good son would.
601
00:34:31,955 --> 00:34:33,175
You want him to live,
602
00:34:34,085 --> 00:34:35,935
you need to call him
603
00:34:36,005 --> 00:34:37,685
and tell him to meet with me.
604
00:34:54,225 --> 00:34:55,285
How do I look?
605
00:34:58,275 --> 00:34:59,205
Good.
606
00:35:03,525 --> 00:35:04,915
[safe lock clicks, beeps]
607
00:35:06,445 --> 00:35:08,925
- Then let's go.
- [cell phone vibrates]
608
00:35:23,315 --> 00:35:26,225
Look, I only came here to tell
you to stay away from my mother.
609
00:35:26,305 --> 00:35:27,855
She just wants to help you.
610
00:35:27,925 --> 00:35:29,225
If you wanna help her,
611
00:35:29,305 --> 00:35:31,605
then you don't tell her
her son's going to die.
612
00:35:31,685 --> 00:35:34,235
You know you're
no match for Tobias.
613
00:35:34,305 --> 00:35:37,155
Just tell me how to find him,
and I'll take him out for you.
614
00:35:37,225 --> 00:35:40,165
Right. And when you fail,
then I will die.
615
00:35:40,985 --> 00:35:43,405
I won't let that happen.
616
00:35:43,485 --> 00:35:48,375
If that Thunder chick never showed up,
he would've beat your ass at the school.
617
00:35:48,445 --> 00:35:51,795
Yeah, you're not that much
of a match for Tobias either.
618
00:35:51,865 --> 00:35:53,295
You're better than this, Khalil.
619
00:35:53,365 --> 00:35:56,125
- My name is Painkiller.
- No.
620
00:35:56,135 --> 00:36:00,175
You had a life before,
people who loved you.
621
00:36:00,255 --> 00:36:02,935
Even in that wheelchair,
it was better than this.
622
00:36:05,185 --> 00:36:07,185
You stay away.
623
00:36:07,195 --> 00:36:08,595
Or I'll make it
my life's mission
624
00:36:08,675 --> 00:36:10,475
to track down
all the people you love
625
00:36:10,555 --> 00:36:13,065
and kill them
just like I killed you.
626
00:36:13,135 --> 00:36:15,115
- [Black Lightning grunting]
- [groaning]
627
00:36:16,015 --> 00:36:17,535
Where's Tobias?
628
00:36:17,615 --> 00:36:19,615
You little bitch!
629
00:36:19,685 --> 00:36:20,995
[groans]
630
00:36:24,605 --> 00:36:26,795
- [weapon whirs]
- [electricity crackling]
631
00:37:14,095 --> 00:37:16,135
[guns cocking]
632
00:37:18,765 --> 00:37:21,015
[Inspector Henderson] Both hands
where I can see 'em, Whale.
633
00:37:25,665 --> 00:37:26,935
[officer] Turn around now.
634
00:37:29,845 --> 00:37:31,935
You know,
I almost didn't believe
635
00:37:31,945 --> 00:37:34,025
somebody dropped a dime on you.
636
00:37:35,405 --> 00:37:37,185
But today is my lucky day.
637
00:37:37,265 --> 00:37:40,775
Tobias Whale, you are under arrest
for the murder of Alvin Pierce.
638
00:37:40,785 --> 00:37:42,735
You have the right
to remain silent.
639
00:37:42,815 --> 00:37:46,235
Anything you say can and will be
held against you in a court of law.
640
00:37:46,315 --> 00:37:47,695
You have a right to an attorney.
641
00:37:47,775 --> 00:37:50,075
If you cannot afford one,
one will be appointed to you.
642
00:37:50,085 --> 00:37:51,295
[SWAT member] Let's go.
643
00:37:59,075 --> 00:38:01,085
I know I helped you figure out
this meeting was taking place.
644
00:38:01,165 --> 00:38:02,715
That doesn't mean I think
it's a good idea for you
645
00:38:02,795 --> 00:38:04,885
- to go down there.
- I'll be fine.
646
00:38:04,895 --> 00:38:06,265
Why do they all have ponytails?
647
00:38:07,505 --> 00:38:08,975
These aren't your
ordinary street thugs.
648
00:38:09,055 --> 00:38:11,435
They're not gonna
take this lightly.
649
00:38:11,505 --> 00:38:13,305
Whoa, whoa, whoa,
is this the money?
650
00:38:13,315 --> 00:38:15,395
Probably.
651
00:38:15,475 --> 00:38:18,065
- Anissa...
- Uncle Gambi, the clinic is running out of time.
652
00:38:18,145 --> 00:38:21,025
If I don't help, then I'll just be
wasting the gifts that God gave me.
653
00:38:21,105 --> 00:38:22,405
That's what your father
always used to say.
654
00:38:29,745 --> 00:38:30,915
[Gambi] I got you.
655
00:38:46,165 --> 00:38:47,395
[men groaning]
656
00:39:10,535 --> 00:39:11,755
[groans]
657
00:39:31,755 --> 00:39:33,315
God bless you, sister...
658
00:39:35,235 --> 00:39:36,815
whatever the hell your name is.
659
00:40:13,505 --> 00:40:16,055
So, I changed my mind.
660
00:40:16,135 --> 00:40:18,515
I want my containment box
to be made of diamonds.
661
00:40:18,595 --> 00:40:21,225
[chuckles] Well, they are
a girl's best friend,
662
00:40:21,305 --> 00:40:23,605
but, uh, we're not
doing that today
663
00:40:23,615 --> 00:40:26,115
But I thought I was building a box
and stuff all my feelings inside,
664
00:40:26,195 --> 00:40:28,445
so I could get on with my life.
665
00:40:28,455 --> 00:40:33,455
We are. But before you can stuff
your feelings into anything,
666
00:40:33,535 --> 00:40:36,335
we need to know
what those feelings are.
667
00:40:43,675 --> 00:40:45,765
[screaming]
668
00:40:56,465 --> 00:40:57,775
[knock on door]
669
00:41:05,305 --> 00:41:07,955
- [Jefferson] Hey.
- I wanted you to hear it from me.
670
00:41:10,315 --> 00:41:11,575
We caught him.
671
00:41:12,665 --> 00:41:13,955
We caught Tobias.
