1
00:00:01,631 --> 00:00:03,763
Previously onBlack Lightning...
2
00:00:03,807 --> 00:00:06,288
When Gravedigger
used lightning to take down
the ASA's energy shield,
3
00:00:06,331 --> 00:00:09,291
the resulting power surge
irradiated the bedrock
of Freeland.
4
00:00:09,334 --> 00:00:11,336
Transmuting the minerals
into promethium.
5
00:00:11,380 --> 00:00:12,729
Once we destroy
the emitter,
6
00:00:12,772 --> 00:00:14,470
every meta in Freeland
will regain their powers.
7
00:00:14,513 --> 00:00:15,601
What are we waiting for?
8
00:00:15,645 --> 00:00:17,038
I'm gonna hunt you down.
9
00:00:17,081 --> 00:00:20,084
Live feed, Chief Lopez.
The world's watching.
10
00:00:20,128 --> 00:00:23,696
You and the other meta filth
deserve to be wiped
from the face of the Earth.
11
00:00:26,612 --> 00:00:30,486
We have confirmed reports
that Lightning remains active.
12
00:00:30,529 --> 00:00:32,444
An oversight
I'll soon correct.
13
00:00:32,488 --> 00:00:34,794
Your seat
has been rescinded.
14
00:00:34,838 --> 00:00:38,320
Now, it's past time
you all bow down
and pledge your loyalty to me.
15
00:00:38,363 --> 00:00:39,886
All hail the king.
16
00:00:39,930 --> 00:00:41,453
You won, Tobias.
17
00:00:41,497 --> 00:00:43,455
I'm ready to sign over
the deed to my father's house.
18
00:00:43,499 --> 00:00:45,936
Everything that Tobias
has thrown at us
is tied to the fact
19
00:00:45,979 --> 00:00:48,243
that he knows
our secret identities.
What if we change that?
20
00:00:48,634 --> 00:00:51,159
-What you got there? Hmm?
21
00:00:53,465 --> 00:00:54,988
-You get one shot.
-Why do you have Dad's phone?
22
00:00:55,032 --> 00:00:56,207
See for yourself.
23
00:00:56,251 --> 00:00:58,905
-Jefferson Pierce is dead.
24
00:01:01,560 --> 00:01:02,779
["How Can You Mend
a Broken Heart?"
by Al Green playing]
25
00:01:23,016 --> 00:01:24,844
The photo's not faked.
It checks out.
26
00:01:24,888 --> 00:01:26,846
And it was definitely texted
from Jefferson's phone.
27
00:01:26,890 --> 00:01:28,892
-Where's his phone now?
-It doesn't have a signal.
28
00:01:28,935 --> 00:01:30,589
I have scanned
the satellites for his watch,
29
00:01:30,633 --> 00:01:32,156
and I've checked every camera
30
00:01:32,200 --> 00:01:34,115
within a ten-mile radius
of his last location.
31
00:01:34,158 --> 00:01:35,594
There's no sign of Jefferson.
32
00:01:35,638 --> 00:01:36,987
I can't do this.
33
00:01:37,030 --> 00:01:39,250
-I'm sorry.
We don't have time for this.
-Anissa--
34
00:01:39,294 --> 00:01:40,904
Tobias is out there.
35
00:01:40,947 --> 00:01:43,298
He has his hands
on Freeland's throat,
and he's coming for us.
36
00:01:43,341 --> 00:01:45,300
We need our
powers back immediately.
37
00:01:45,343 --> 00:01:46,866
You're right.
38
00:01:46,910 --> 00:01:50,783
Jefferson's my son,
but it's fight now,
mourn later.
39
00:01:50,827 --> 00:01:52,872
I knew I should have
killed Tobias before.
40
00:01:52,916 --> 00:01:54,700
I'm gonna fix that right now.
41
00:01:54,744 --> 00:01:57,834
No. You think, okay?
He texted you.
He knows how your powers work.
42
00:01:57,877 --> 00:01:59,357
He's baiting you,
sweetheart.
43
00:01:59,401 --> 00:02:01,359
The worst thing that
you could do is fall for it.
44
00:02:01,403 --> 00:02:03,840
I'm not gonna let him
get away with killing Dad.
45
00:02:03,883 --> 00:02:07,278
He won't...
if we work together.
46
00:02:07,322 --> 00:02:08,845
He's right, okay?
47
00:02:08,888 --> 00:02:10,238
Okay.
48
00:02:10,281 --> 00:02:12,196
Gambi, the algorithm
we made to find the emitter
49
00:02:12,240 --> 00:02:14,285
that's nullifying powers,
is it working?
50
00:02:14,329 --> 00:02:16,896
Yes, it looks like it.
And I should have
a location soon.
51
00:02:16,940 --> 00:02:18,985
All right. As soon as
we get the location, we move.
52
00:02:19,029 --> 00:02:20,944
What about the Freeland PD
Meta Task Force?
53
00:02:20,987 --> 00:02:22,467
How do we get the emitter
with them on us?
54
00:02:22,511 --> 00:02:24,165
You don't need to worry
about Detective Shakur.
55
00:02:24,208 --> 00:02:25,905
He already has Looker
in custody,
56
00:02:25,949 --> 00:02:29,082
and she's talking about
framing me and Jefferson
for Tobias.
57
00:02:30,649 --> 00:02:32,042
The police won't interfere.
58
00:02:33,957 --> 00:02:36,002
But that still leaves Tobias
with tons and tons of shooters
with DEGs,
59
00:02:36,046 --> 00:02:38,179
and a meta that can
nullify powers at will.
60
00:02:38,222 --> 00:02:39,832
Listen, I do not care, okay?
61
00:02:39,876 --> 00:02:41,834
He killed my dad,
and he's dragging our city.

I've got it.
I've located the emitter.
106
00:05:52,111 --> 00:05:54,200
It's in West Freeland
in an industrial park.
107
00:05:54,244 --> 00:05:55,201
Let's go.
108
00:05:55,245 --> 00:05:56,246
Just hold on.
109
00:05:56,289 --> 00:05:58,074
That particular industrial park
110
00:05:58,117 --> 00:06:00,119
is the headquarters
for Drakestone Security.
111
00:06:00,163 --> 00:06:01,382
Oh...
112
00:06:01,425 --> 00:06:03,601
-Wait, you know them?
-More than I'd like.
113
00:06:03,645 --> 00:06:06,256
Tobias Whale owns Drakestone
through a bunch of
shell companies.
114
00:06:07,779 --> 00:06:10,826
It's basically Blackwater.
Only more high-tech.
115
00:06:10,869 --> 00:06:12,044
Yeah, well, I'm not worried.
116
00:06:12,088 --> 00:06:13,568
You should be.
117
00:06:13,611 --> 00:06:15,700
I've pinpointed the emitter
inside the Tori Mausoleum.
118
00:06:15,744 --> 00:06:19,878
It's situated so that
we can't get to it without
coming on Drakestone's radar.
119
00:06:19,922 --> 00:06:22,620
In addition
to military training,
they own the newest DEGs.
120
00:06:22,664 --> 00:06:25,318
Without your powers,
you do not wanna get shot
by those guns.
121
00:06:25,362 --> 00:06:28,713
And we have to assume
that he has thought through
every step on the board.
122
00:06:28,757 --> 00:06:30,976
And believe me,
with lethal intent.
123
00:06:31,020 --> 00:06:33,283
Honey, we can't get revenge
if we're dead.
124
00:06:33,326 --> 00:06:34,850
All right, I hear you,
but let's plan.
125
00:06:36,373 --> 00:06:37,766
Where the hell is JJ?
126
00:06:49,212 --> 00:06:50,779
JJ,
what are you doing?
127
00:06:50,822 --> 00:06:52,345
Getting more power.
128
00:06:52,389 --> 00:06:54,565
Was blowing up before
too subtle a warning for you?
129
00:06:54,609 --> 00:06:58,482
If Tobias is baiting me,
I have to do something
he isn't ready for.
130
00:06:58,526 --> 00:07:00,528
Or he'll kill us all
like he killed Dad.
131
00:07:44,528 --> 00:07:47,357
Oh, Jen! Thank God.
132
00:07:50,752 --> 00:07:52,884
Young lady,
what were you doing?
I told you--
133
00:07:52,928 --> 00:07:54,190
Okay. Okay.
134
00:07:54,233 --> 00:07:56,148
I went, I did it,
and I made it.
135
00:07:56,845 --> 00:07:59,369
-Where is everyone?
-They went to go
get the emitter.
136
00:07:59,412 --> 00:08:00,936
Okay. Well, I'm gonna go...
137
00:08:01,676 --> 00:08:02,720
-Whoa!
138
00:08:04,896 --> 00:08:06,158
You okay?
139
00:08:07,595 --> 00:08:10,119
Yeah, I just got dizzy
for a second.
140
00:08:10,162 --> 00:08:12,817
That's too much energy
from the ionosphere.
141
00:08:12,861 --> 00:08:15,124
-It's making you unstable.
-I'm fine, Mom.
142
00:08:16,429 --> 00:08:17,474
Are you okay?
143
00:08:18,693 --> 00:08:19,607
No.
144
00:08:21,478 --> 00:08:23,741

I would like to hold

run some tests, okay?
146
00:08:28,703 --> 00:08:29,617
Okay.

00:08:33,185 --> 00:08:35,013
Why do you have that look
on your face?
148
00:08:35,057 --> 00:08:37,102

to hit the tunnels.

00:10:27,604 --> 00:10:29,388
You reacted
instinctively, Jeff.
177
00:10:30,868 --> 00:10:34,350
It was self-defense.
Nothing more.
178
00:10:37,353 --> 00:10:40,573
Never again.
I don't want these powers.
179
00:10:41,749 --> 00:10:42,880
I'll teach you.
180
00:10:44,534 --> 00:10:47,363
You'll learn how to use them,
how to control them for good.
181
00:10:49,713 --> 00:10:50,671
No.
182
00:10:51,193 --> 00:10:52,847
You're hurting right now, son.
183
00:10:54,239 --> 00:10:55,414
But don't give up.
184
00:10:56,677 --> 00:10:57,721
Learn from this.
185
00:10:59,288 --> 00:11:02,683
Your powers properly used
can give hope.

Hope to your city
and its people.

watching you down here
in the light.

00:17:38,295 --> 00:17:39,514

as you please.

Both flesh and energy.
280
00:17:52,657 --> 00:17:53,963
And I hated you.
281
00:17:55,965 --> 00:17:57,619
Every time you came,
282
00:17:57,662 --> 00:18:01,231
I willed myself
closer and closer
to your wavelength,
283
00:18:01,275 --> 00:18:04,539
until finally, I made it.
284
00:18:05,496 --> 00:18:06,628

285
00:18:07,498 --> 00:18:08,673
We were one.
286
00:18:09,674 --> 00:18:10,893
Then just me.
287
00:18:13,200 --> 00:18:14,636
But still not flesh.
288
00:18:16,420 --> 00:18:19,119
I was so disappointed.
289
00:18:20,642 --> 00:18:23,645
Thought I would
never know what it was to feel.
290
00:18:25,995 --> 00:18:28,128
That I would always live
in the darkness.
291
00:18:28,171 --> 00:18:29,216
I get it.
292
00:18:31,305 --> 00:18:33,263
But just because you don't
like your life, doesn't mean
you get to take mine.
293
00:18:33,307 --> 00:18:35,004
I already did.
294
00:18:36,179 --> 00:18:38,877

00:23:19,288 --> 00:23:21,899
Grab your badge, grab your gun.
Follow me.
354
00:23:31,866 --> 00:23:33,128
My powers...
355
00:23:44,095 --> 00:23:45,357
I'm underground.
356
00:23:45,967 --> 00:23:48,317
I can't pull electricity
from anywhere.
357
00:23:49,536 --> 00:23:51,799
You have
everything you need.
358
00:23:54,976 --> 00:23:56,064
Wait.
359
00:23:57,805 --> 00:23:59,023
What is that?
360
00:23:59,067 --> 00:24:01,461
You have to use
what you never have.
361
00:24:01,504 --> 00:24:04,333
So go get it,
and get it done.
362
00:25:11,182 --> 00:25:12,401
Lynn!
363
00:25:12,444 --> 00:25:14,098
-Oh, my God.
-Lynn!
364
00:25:14,751 --> 00:25:16,405
Here.
-My God, Anissa.
365
00:25:16,448 --> 00:25:18,538
She got hit
by several next-gen DEGs.
366
00:25:18,581 --> 00:25:21,062
-No suit could withstand that.
Put her here.
367
00:25:21,105 --> 00:25:23,368
No, I'm okay.
This is inappropriate.
368
00:25:23,412 --> 00:25:25,719
-I'll heal, okay?
-No, I'm not gonna
test you for that.
369
00:25:25,762 --> 00:25:28,286
I'm gonna test you
for radiation and give you
some antibiotics.
370
00:25:29,636 --> 00:25:31,725
Hey, it's me. Anybody copy?
371
00:25:32,595 --> 00:25:34,466
-Jeff?
-Dad?
372
00:25:35,729 --> 00:25:37,252
We thought you were dead!
373
00:25:37,295 --> 00:25:39,428
Yeah, it wasn't
for lack of trying.
374
00:25:40,124 --> 00:25:41,430
Where's Tobias?
375
00:25:41,473 --> 00:25:44,172
He's in his office.
Tori Towers.
376
00:26:02,364 --> 00:26:03,713
Lopez,
stand down!
377
00:26:03,757 --> 00:26:04,888
Stand down!
378
00:26:06,107 --> 00:26:07,282
Get on the ground!
379
00:26:07,325 --> 00:26:11,242
Chief Lopez. It's me.
Detective Shakur.
380
00:26:11,286 --> 00:26:12,592
You gotta stop.
381
00:26:12,635 --> 00:26:14,724
I don't have to stop
a damn thing.
382
00:26:14,768 --> 00:26:17,292
I'm gonna use this power
to kill Lightning!
383
00:26:17,988 --> 00:26:19,294
Listen to me.
384
00:26:19,337 --> 00:26:21,426
You're gonna cut off
all the power in the city.
385
00:26:24,647 --> 00:26:25,779
Wait a minute.
386
00:26:27,215 --> 00:26:29,478
Did you just roll up on me
with my own task force?
387
00:26:30,261 --> 00:26:31,654
-Fall back!
388
00:26:38,400 --> 00:26:41,490
Chief, you're not
thinkin' straight.
389
00:26:41,533 --> 00:26:43,623
And your ass is next!
390
00:26:46,060 --> 00:26:48,062
Your light is fading, human.
391
00:26:48,802 --> 00:26:50,151
This is my time.
392
00:26:50,673 --> 00:26:52,501
Yours is at an end.
393
00:27:00,161 --> 00:27:01,075
No.
394
00:27:02,685 --> 00:27:03,686
It isn't.
395
00:27:56,739 --> 00:27:58,610
This is getting kinda boring.
396
00:27:58,654 --> 00:28:00,874
You can't stop me!
397
00:28:02,527 --> 00:28:04,399
-Chief, it's Lightning.
-Cease fire!
398
00:28:08,577 --> 00:28:10,579
I knew you'd show up,
you bitch.
399
00:28:10,971 --> 00:28:12,537
We got a problem.
400
00:28:13,451 --> 00:28:15,584
I don't like being called on
my name.
401
00:28:37,432 --> 00:28:38,781
Thank you!
402
00:28:54,797 --> 00:28:57,626
You big-lipped, bug-eyed,
nappy-headed nimrod.
403
00:28:58,279 --> 00:28:59,976
You gonna learn today.
404
00:29:00,020 --> 00:29:01,282
Shut the hell up.
405
00:29:05,808 --> 00:29:07,462
You blast like a bitch.
406
00:30:06,086 --> 00:30:08,828
You need somethin' that hurts
your nappy-headed neon ass.
407
00:30:08,871 --> 00:30:11,700
Let me introduce you
to my favorite word.
408
00:30:14,572 --> 00:30:16,923
It's called "defenestration."
409
00:30:31,894 --> 00:30:33,548
Tobias, hold on!
410
00:30:39,510 --> 00:30:41,425
"To the end,
I grapple with thee.
411
00:30:41,991 --> 00:30:44,733
From the bottom
of hell's heart,
I stab at thee."
412
00:30:46,866 --> 00:30:48,041
Tobias, don't.
413
00:30:49,520 --> 00:30:51,740
Stop! We don't have to do this.
There's another way.
414
00:30:51,783 --> 00:30:56,049
"For hate's sake,
I spit my last breath at thee."
415
00:31:47,796 --> 00:31:50,930
Oh, you must be crazy
bringin' your ass here.
416
00:31:50,973 --> 00:31:52,409
I invited him.
417
00:31:52,453 --> 00:31:54,629
Don't think
I won't kick your ass, too.
418
00:31:55,630 --> 00:31:57,937
What if I come with
good and great news?
419
00:31:59,982 --> 00:32:00,852
Speak.
420
00:32:02,463 --> 00:32:03,943
Tobias Whale is dead.
421
00:32:04,421 --> 00:32:06,467
Damn. I wanted to kill him.
422
00:32:08,164 --> 00:32:09,296
That's not good news.
423
00:32:10,471 --> 00:32:12,125
Let me kick his ass
just a little.
424
00:32:12,821 --> 00:32:15,650
TC, what is your other news?
425
00:32:16,694 --> 00:32:18,914
I've isolated the system code
for the kill order.
426
00:32:20,089 --> 00:32:21,134
I can free you.
427
00:32:22,483 --> 00:32:24,441
Good. Let's do it.
428
00:32:24,485 --> 00:32:25,660
Well, there's a catch.
429
00:32:28,532 --> 00:32:31,883
It's linked to everything
you know and love
about the whole Pierce family.
430
00:32:31,927 --> 00:32:33,842
If you break the kill order,
431
00:32:34,843 --> 00:32:36,497
you won't remember
the Pierces at all.
432
00:32:36,540 --> 00:32:38,542
So what?
Pains in the ass anyway.
433
00:32:38,586 --> 00:32:41,241
Shut up,
and sit your Black ass down.
434
00:32:45,114 --> 00:32:46,072
TC,
435
00:32:47,160 --> 00:32:49,205
there's gotta be
another way around.
436
00:32:49,684 --> 00:32:52,687
Well, there's not.
I've checked
and I've double-checked.
437
00:32:53,731 --> 00:32:54,689
Damn.
438
00:32:55,864 --> 00:32:57,387
You won't stop, will you?
439
00:32:57,431 --> 00:32:59,999
Sooner or later,
you're going to kill Jen
440
00:33:00,521 --> 00:33:02,088
and all of the Pierces.
441
00:33:02,131 --> 00:33:03,524
Best believe.
442
00:33:05,004 --> 00:33:06,701
But I'm not nobody's puppet.
443
00:33:07,267 --> 00:33:09,921
Cut the damn cord.
444
00:33:24,893 --> 00:33:26,416
If you need more time, I can--
445
00:33:30,203 --> 00:33:32,509
Always known
I'd give my life for that girl.
446
00:33:35,730 --> 00:33:37,688
Never thought
I'd have to forget her.
447
00:33:41,953 --> 00:33:42,867
Do it.
448
00:34:32,178 --> 00:34:35,790
Peter, I know
we've had our differences.
449
00:34:37,270 --> 00:34:39,968
I blamed you for Jefferson
being Black Lightning.
450
00:34:40,621 --> 00:34:42,101
I always understood, Lynn.
451
00:34:42,797 --> 00:34:45,234
Well, I never gave you
enough credit
452
00:34:45,278 --> 00:34:47,932
for how much you loved Jeff
and the girls over the years.
453
00:34:47,976 --> 00:34:48,890
So...
454
00:34:49,804 --> 00:34:50,718
Thank you.
455
00:34:53,634 --> 00:34:54,983
They do look happy, don't they?
456
00:34:58,160 --> 00:34:59,466
Yes, they do.
457
00:35:00,641 --> 00:35:01,816
You did good.
458
00:35:06,342 --> 00:35:07,343
Dead.
459
00:35:08,083 --> 00:35:10,085
-Uh, thank you.
460
00:35:26,797 --> 00:35:27,668
Hey.
461
00:35:29,974 --> 00:35:30,845
Hey.
462
00:35:37,330 --> 00:35:40,115
It makes me burp
and it gives me a headache.
463
00:35:40,159 --> 00:35:41,638
Me, too.
464
00:35:45,338 --> 00:35:48,950
You know, it's crazy to think
there's life up there,
465
00:35:48,993 --> 00:35:51,170
and after all this time
we didn't know it.
466
00:35:54,912 --> 00:35:56,000
It's weird.
467
00:35:56,871 --> 00:35:59,874
And they watch us.
It's pretty creepy.
468
00:36:05,401 --> 00:36:06,533
I know that look.
469
00:36:07,360 --> 00:36:08,883
You have bad news.
470
00:36:11,277 --> 00:36:12,321
Can it wait?
471
00:36:14,280 --> 00:36:17,413
I just wanted to say
that I'm glad that
you're back for real this time.
472
00:36:18,762 --> 00:36:20,851
You really gotta learn
how to lie better.
473
00:36:22,026 --> 00:36:23,376
-Sorry.
474
00:36:24,028 --> 00:36:25,029
It's cool.
475
00:36:28,032 --> 00:36:32,211
Whatever... Whatever it is,
I don't wanna hear it
right now, okay?
476
00:36:33,386 --> 00:36:34,735
I really just wanna...
477
00:36:36,171 --> 00:36:37,172
be.
478
00:36:39,218 --> 00:36:40,480
Are you okay?
479
00:36:40,523 --> 00:36:42,482
I don't know.
480
00:36:42,525 --> 00:36:45,093
The fact that Dad was
the only one who sensed
somethin' wasn't right...
481
00:36:48,923 --> 00:36:50,054
It just...
482
00:36:50,098 --> 00:36:51,708
It doesn't sit well with me,
you know?
483
00:36:51,752 --> 00:36:52,753
Look, I'm sorry.
484
00:36:54,624 --> 00:36:57,236
It took all of
your genetic footprints,
had all of your memories...
485
00:36:58,585 --> 00:36:59,586
It really seemed like--
486
00:36:59,629 --> 00:37:01,979
TC, I'm not blaming you.
487
00:37:03,459 --> 00:37:04,808
It's fine, I get it.
488
00:37:06,984 --> 00:37:08,769
I just gotta learn
how to deal with it.
489
00:37:08,812 --> 00:37:09,987
Um, well...
490
00:37:11,685 --> 00:37:13,948
if you need anything,
you know you can
always come find me.
491
00:37:15,384 --> 00:37:17,125
I know. I appreciate that.
492
00:37:18,953 --> 00:37:23,436
But right now,
like I said, I just wanna be.
493
00:37:23,958 --> 00:37:25,742
Well, if you can...
494
00:37:26,656 --> 00:37:28,745
your family's inside
looking for you.
495
00:37:30,356 --> 00:37:32,227
But I will just let you be.
496
00:37:34,316 --> 00:37:35,361
For now.
497
00:37:43,804 --> 00:37:46,110
Bro, I feel so stupid
falling for that
fake-ass Jennifer.
498
00:37:46,154 --> 00:37:47,895
It was my fault.
499
00:37:47,938 --> 00:37:50,201
My leopard senses
led us astray.
500
00:37:50,245 --> 00:37:51,812
I had no idea
they could be so wrong.
501
00:37:51,855 --> 00:37:53,379
There's a lot
we didn't know.
502
00:37:53,422 --> 00:37:55,816
I feel terrible
that you were up there
in space alone,
503
00:37:56,599 --> 00:37:58,601
and I was helping
that entity take your place.
504
00:37:58,645 --> 00:37:59,733
Please.
505
00:37:59,776 --> 00:38:01,561
If it's anybody's fault,
it's mine.
506
00:38:01,604 --> 00:38:03,780
I knew I had no business
goin' up there.
507
00:38:07,306 --> 00:38:08,481
Listen, this is a party.
508
00:38:10,396 --> 00:38:12,093
-Y'all need me to remind you
how to do that? Come on.
509
00:38:12,136 --> 00:38:13,660
-Let me turn this music up
for y'all.
510
00:38:13,703 --> 00:38:15,531
Get y'all in the zone
a little bit.
511
00:38:17,054 --> 00:38:18,665
Okay, hit it. Come on,
hit the footwork with me now.
512
00:38:19,492 --> 00:38:21,145
Look, he know how to do it.
513
00:38:22,451 --> 00:38:24,279
Get it, get it, get it.
514
00:38:24,845 --> 00:38:26,325
Hit the shoulders for me.
515
00:38:26,368 --> 00:38:29,197
Come on, get into it!
Get into it, son!
516
00:38:29,980 --> 00:38:31,808
From the seat. From the seat.
517
00:38:32,853 --> 00:38:34,724
It's all about the shoulders.
518
00:38:37,684 --> 00:38:39,338
Jennifer is back.
519
00:38:43,690 --> 00:38:44,691
Mmm-hmm.
520
00:38:45,474 --> 00:38:47,084
All right. All right.
Hear, hear.
521
00:38:47,911 --> 00:38:49,348
We have an announcement
to make.
522
00:38:50,218 --> 00:38:52,699
We are getting remarried!
523
00:38:53,700 --> 00:38:54,744
-What?
-What?
524
00:38:54,788 --> 00:38:57,007
-Congratulations.
-It was about time.
525
00:38:57,051 --> 00:38:58,661
-Okay.
-That's fantastic.
526
00:38:58,705 --> 00:39:01,795
Yeah, when I was, uh,
trapped in that coffin...
527
00:39:01,838 --> 00:39:03,623
-Well, it was the perfect time
to reflect.
528
00:39:04,493 --> 00:39:06,016
I realized I had some regrets
529
00:39:06,060 --> 00:39:09,193
and wished I had time
to do somethin' about 'em.
530
00:39:10,064 --> 00:39:12,371
Your father and I
have been in therapy,
531
00:39:12,414 --> 00:39:14,503
and I've been grappling
with some things,
532
00:39:14,547 --> 00:39:16,375
and when I thought he was gone,
533
00:39:16,418 --> 00:39:19,508
I realized my place
was by his side
and his by mine.
534
00:39:24,121 --> 00:39:25,514
Okay,
second announcement.
535
00:39:26,428 --> 00:39:27,864
I'm hereby passing the torch.
536
00:39:29,779 --> 00:39:32,521
Turnin' over the fight
for Freeland to Lightning,
Thunder, and Wylde.
537
00:39:32,565 --> 00:39:35,437
Really, Dad?
Another retirement?
538
00:39:35,481 --> 00:39:36,395
Be nice.
539
00:39:36,438 --> 00:39:37,918
No, this one's for real.
540
00:39:38,397 --> 00:39:39,528
Uh, sure it is.
541
00:39:39,572 --> 00:39:41,400
And I finally agree.
542
00:39:41,965 --> 00:39:43,314
I'm gonna hang it up, too.
543
00:39:44,098 --> 00:39:46,274
TC is more than capable
of taking care of things.
544
00:39:47,971 --> 00:39:50,626
Of course I'll be around
for some advice.
545
00:39:50,670 --> 00:39:52,541
Yeah, you can count on that.
546
00:39:52,585 --> 00:39:55,283
And I might tinker
here and there,
you know, to keep busy.
547
00:39:56,893 --> 00:39:58,547
We'll make you proud.
548
00:39:58,591 --> 00:40:00,070
Oh, you already have.
549
00:40:00,593 --> 00:40:02,899
Come on, y'all. Toast.
550
00:40:04,945 --> 00:40:06,425
To Anissa and Grace,
551
00:40:06,468 --> 00:40:11,778
may your lives be filled
with love and joy...
and justice.
552
00:40:13,954 --> 00:40:15,564
By any means necessary.
553
00:40:15,608 --> 00:40:17,958
Hear, hear.
-By any means necessary.
554
00:41:46,002 --> 00:41:48,396
Somebody finally stuck it
to your ass.
