[Jefferson] Previously
on Black Lightning...

3
00:00:05,881 --> 00:00:07,166
Now, we are talking
about the guy

4
00:00:07,382 --> 00:00:09,668
who worked for the man
who killed my father.

5
00:00:09,885 --> 00:00:13,093
If he is still around,
then Tobias is still around.

6
00:00:13,305 --> 00:00:15,045
[both grunting]

7
00:00:17,100 --> 00:00:18,010
Where is Tobias?

8
00:00:18,227 --> 00:00:19,512
[chuckles]

9
00:00:20,604 --> 00:00:22,344
Freeland is in crisis
because of Green Light.

10
00:00:22,564 --> 00:00:24,850
Toledo '3 behind that.
Tobias is behind him.

11
00:00:25,067 --> 00:00:26,773
You couldn't wait
for me to get in the suit.

12
00:00:27,236 --> 00:00:28,772
Now you're gun-shy
about Tobias?

13
00:00:28,987 --> 00:00:29,646
Why is that?

14
00:00:29,863 --> 00:00:32,229
We had a deal.
You're not supposed
to be here.

15
00:00:32,449 --> 00:00:37,284
Did you know that in Africa
some people believe
that albinos are magical?

16
00:00:37,704 --> 00:00:40,912
These people
will actually kidnap
random albino,

17
00:00:41,333 --> 00:00:46,953
cut him up, grind up his bones,
and sell it as magic dust.

18
00:00:47,172 --> 00:00:48,753
[choking]

19
00:00:50,342 --> 00:00:51,127
What was that?

20
00:00:51,343 --> 00:00:53,174
-Someone's breaking in.
They're coming this way.
-[glass shattering]

21
00:00:53,428 --> 00:00:55,259
Okay, hide. I'm coming.

22
00:00:56,890 --> 00:00:58,346
Get away from her!

23
00:00:58,559 --> 00:00:59,423
[groans]

24
00:01:00,978 --> 00:01:02,218
[Black Lightning]
Let her go.

25

27
00:01:12,656 --> 00:01:13,736
Anissa?

28
00:01:16,785 --> 00:01:17,865
[Lynn] Look up.

29
00:01:19,162 --> 00:01:20,117
Look down.

30
00:01:20,998 --> 00:01:22,408
I still can't believe it.

31
00:01:22,624 --> 00:01:24,785
All that talk
about nonviolence
and Dr. King

32
00:01:25,002 --> 00:01:26,617
and Dad's Black Lightning?

33
00:01:26,837 --> 00:01:28,702
Your ocular responses
are normal.
Your concussion's healing.

34
00:01:28,922 --> 00:01:29,786
Let me check your ribs again.

35
00:01:30,007 --> 00:01:31,872
Mom, I told you, I'm fine.

36
00:01:32,092 --> 00:01:33,798
[gasps] My God.

37
00:01:35,429 --> 00:01:37,420
You're healing already.

38
00:01:37,639 --> 00:01:41,257
Look, Anissa,
you have to stop this now.
It will destroy your life.

39
00:01:41,476 --> 00:01:43,057
But you and Dad taught me
that I need to help people.

40
00:01:43,270 --> 00:01:45,352
That's what I'm doing.
lam helping people.

41
00:01:45,564 --> 00:01:49,102
Yeah, as a social activist
or a doctor, not as
a super-powered vigilante.

42
00:01:49,318 --> 00:01:50,649
So I'm just
supposed to sit back

43
00:01:50,861 --> 00:01:52,442
and watch The One Hundred
destroy what's left
of Freeland?

44
00:01:52,654 --> 00:01:53,484
No!

45
00:01:53,697 --> 00:01:55,688
This is a gift from God,
Mom, a blessing.

46
00:01:55,949 --> 00:01:56,904
You sound
just like your father.

47
00:01:57,117 --> 00:01:59,199
[scoffs] That's a bad thing?

48
00:01:59,411 --> 00:02:01,117
Do you know,
together, Dad and I

49
00:02:01,330 --> 00:02:03,321
can put an end
to The One Hundred
once and for all.

50
00:02:03,540 --> 00:02:06,327
Look, I understand
what you're going through
right now, trust me.

51
00:02:06,543 --> 00:02:10,582
But this road you're on,
it only leads to heartbreak
and pain.

52
00:02:10,797 --> 00:02:12,082
Do you have powers?

53
00:02:13,133 --> 00:02:14,373
Can you stop a bullet?

54
00:02:14,593 --> 00:02:16,003
Shoot lightning
out of your hands?

55
00:02:16,678 --> 00:02:17,212
No, of--

56
00:02:17,429 --> 00:02:20,262
Then how can you
possibly understand
what I'm going through?

57
00:02:23,060 --> 00:02:25,642
[Gambi] I did some digging,
and there's some chatter
on the dark web

58
00:02:25,854 --> 00:02:28,015
about a group of high-end tech
thieves making the rounds.

59
00:02:28,273 --> 00:02:30,389
They pull a job,
and then they move on
to the next city.

60
00:02:30,609 --> 00:02:33,567
So far, they've stolen
over ten million dollars worth
of equipment

61
00:02:33,779 --> 00:02:35,770
that they turn around
and sell to the highest bidder.

62
00:02:35,989 --> 00:02:37,604
My guess,

63
00:02:37,824 --> 00:02:40,065
Lynn was just
in the wrong place
at the wrong time.

64
00:02:40,285 --> 00:02:41,900
They're probably
already gone,

65
00:02:42,120 --> 00:02:44,736
but she should stay here
for a few days,
just in case.

66
00:02:46,583 --> 00:02:48,790
Jefferson,

67
00:02:49,002 --> 00:02:50,708
you shouldn't beat yourself up
over this Anissa thing.

68
00:02:50,921 --> 00:02:53,754
There's no way
you could have known
it was her.

69
00:02:53,965 --> 00:02:56,502
Why don't you go home,
get some rest,
check on Jennifer?

70
00:02:56,718 --> 00:02:57,673
And I'll look after Lynn.

71
00:02:57,886 --> 00:02:59,877
Jennifer's at Kiesha's.

72
00:03:00,097 --> 00:03:01,883
Thank you for your concern.

73
00:03:04,810 --> 00:03:06,596
Have I done something
to upset you?

74
00:03:06,812 --> 00:03:09,428
It's what
you didn't do, Gambi.

75
00:03:09,648 --> 00:03:12,185
Why didn't you tell me
Tobias was back in Freeland?

76
00:03:12,401 --> 00:03:14,517
-We're back to this again?
-Yes, we are.

77
00:03:14,778 --> 00:03:17,440
Do you expect me to believe
it only took you two hours

78
00:03:17,698 --> 00:03:20,440
to get some intel
on thieves on the dark web,

79
00:03:20,867 --> 00:03:21,856
but you haven't
heard anything,

80
00:03:22,077 --> 00:03:25,490
anything about
a six-foot albino
in Freeland?

81
00:03:25,706 --> 00:03:28,948
-I told you. I didn't know.
-I know what you told me.

82
00:03:29,209 --> 00:03:30,324
It doesn't mean I believe you.

83
00:03:30,544 --> 00:03:31,533
[sighs]

84
00:03:33,797 --> 00:03:37,506
I didn't tell you
in order to protect you.

85
00:03:38,844 --> 00:03:39,959
From Tobias?

86
00:03:45,600 --> 00:03:46,885
From yourself.

87
00:03:49,396 --> 00:03:50,806
Jefferson,

88
00:03:51,982 --> 00:03:56,601
I didn't want you to do
something that you'd regret
for the rest of your life.

89
00:03:56,820 --> 00:03:59,311
There's no coming back
from something like that.

90
00:04:01,074 --> 00:04:01,904
Trust me.

91
00:04:04,828 --> 00:04:06,034
That's just it.

92
00:04:09,040 --> 00:04:10,120
I don't.

this clown?

Thought you said
he was one of the best.

106
00:04:57,839 --> 00:04:59,704
He was, boss. I saw him
tussle with my own eyes.

107
00:04:59,925 --> 00:05:01,506

His nose was thinner,

129
00:06:14,165 --> 00:06:16,030
and his eyes were
a little further apart.

130
00:06:16,251 --> 00:06:17,491
Okay.

131
00:06:21,631 --> 00:06:24,589
You're lucky Black Lightning
showed up when he did, Lynn.

132
00:06:24,801 --> 00:06:26,257
Any idea why you?

133
00:06:27,137 --> 00:06:28,752
No.

134
00:06:29,347 --> 00:06:32,965
Do you think anyone
from your past may have
a problem with you?

135
00:06:33,184 --> 00:06:36,267
An ex-boyfriend maybe?
A colleague?

136
00:06:36,479 --> 00:06:37,719
No.

137
00:06:37,939 --> 00:06:40,180
Have you been in any
altercations lately?

138
00:06:40,400 --> 00:06:44,063
Did you take
somebody's parking space?
Cut somebody off in traffic?

139
00:06:44,279 --> 00:06:45,644
No. No.

140
00:06:45,906 --> 00:06:47,942
Have you started dating

141
00:06:49,326 --> 00:06:51,817
[scoffs] No.

142
00:06:52,037 --> 00:06:54,824
I'm not even gonna
pretend to know what you do
at your lab over at Bowman,

143
00:06:55,040 --> 00:06:57,247
but is there a universe
where some of your research

144
00:06:57,459 --> 00:07:01,623
could have been targeted
by a third party,
maybe for financial gain?

145
00:07:01,838 --> 00:07:03,749
Most of my research deals
with addiction

146
00:07:03,965 --> 00:07:05,501
and its effects
on the human brain.

147
00:07:05,717 --> 00:07:08,709
I... I don't think
there's any money in that.

Hmm.

First your girls get kidnapped,
and now this thing with Lynn...

154
00:07:24,945 --> 00:07:27,482
Do you think The One Hundred
is trying to send you
a message?

155
00:07:27,697 --> 00:07:29,153
Why would The One Hundred
care about me?

I'm just
a high school principal.

Come on, now, Jeff.

can't put to work.

Just watch your back,
that's all I'm saying.

Are these the men
that broke into your lab?

That's them.

00:07:57,268 --> 00:07:59,179
I couldn't forget them
if I tried.

to get to me?

00:09:01,374 --> 00:09:02,910
I don't know.

176
00:09:03,501 --> 00:09:05,037
[sighs] ljust keep
racking my brain,

177
00:09:05,253 --> 00:09:07,869
trying to figure out
why me, why then?

178
00:09:08,089 --> 00:09:09,750
Did anything
out of the ordinary happen

179
00:09:10,008 --> 00:09:11,168
around the time
of the break-in?

180
00:09:11,384 --> 00:09:14,217
Actually, there was one thing.

181
00:09:14,429 --> 00:09:16,636
Anissa came by with a box
of Alvin's research.

182
00:09:16,848 --> 00:09:18,463
-My father?
-Yeah, I... [sighs]

183
00:09:18,683 --> 00:09:20,219
I didn't have a chance
to look through it,

184
00:09:20,435 --> 00:09:23,222
but I did come across
some pretty advanced
biochemical formulas.

185
00:09:23,480 --> 00:09:24,811
Where did she get
his research?

186
00:09:25,023 --> 00:09:28,891
She was coming to the lab
to talk about it just before
the break-in happened.

187
00:09:29,152 --> 00:09:31,689
You think it's just
a coincidence?

188
00:09:31,905 --> 00:09:33,816
At this point, we can't
rule anything out.

189
00:09:34,032 --> 00:09:34,862
Excuse me.

190
00:09:38,828 --> 00:09:40,534
[Tobias] I thought PCP was bad.

191
00:09:40,747 --> 00:09:42,783
This Green Light
is on a whole 'nother level.

192
00:09:42,999 --> 00:09:44,239
It's too volatile,
too addictive.

193
00:09:44,501 --> 00:09:45,832
Truthfully, it's killing
too many people,

194
00:09:46,044 --> 00:09:47,454
and dead customers don't pay.

195
00:09:47,670 --> 00:09:49,035
So what are you
gonna do about it?

196
00:09:51,800 --> 00:09:52,789
Syonide.

197
00:09:56,679 --> 00:09:59,842
-Yes, boss?
-Reach out to
Lady Eve's people.

198
00:10:00,058 --> 00:10:02,925
Tell 'em I want
a face-to-face
with her evil ass.

199
00:10:03,478 --> 00:10:05,719
-You got it.
-Wait.

200
00:10:06,648 --> 00:10:09,390
[sighs] You're gonna
talk to her?

201
00:10:09,818 --> 00:10:10,773
Talk?

202
00:10:12,654 --> 00:10:13,609
No.

203
00:10:21,079 --> 00:10:23,946
Okay, maybe what happened
to you isn't my fault,

204
00:10:24,165 --> 00:10:25,905
but what happened
to Anissa is.

205
00:10:26,126 --> 00:10:29,368
There's no way you could have
known that Anissa would
manifest abilities.

206
00:10:29,629 --> 00:10:32,666
Me, on the other hand,
my work deals with mapping
and rewriting genes,

207
00:10:32,882 --> 00:10:34,588
I should have known
there was a possibility.

208
00:10:34,801 --> 00:10:36,917
We have to call Anissa,
get her to meet us
at the hospital

209
00:10:37,137 --> 00:10:38,798
so I can run some tests.

210
00:10:39,013 --> 00:10:40,253
We need to know
what we're dealing with.

211
00:10:40,473 --> 00:10:41,713
No, no, no.

212
00:10:41,933 --> 00:10:44,640
The only place we're going
is back to Gambi's.

213
00:10:45,562 --> 00:10:49,271
Have you forgotten
you were just held captive
in your own lab?

214
00:10:49,482 --> 00:10:51,222
The men who did it
are still out there somewhere.

215
00:10:51,442 --> 00:10:53,398
No, of course,
I haven't forgotten.

216
00:10:53,611 --> 00:10:56,068
Okay, Anissa has powers now.

217
00:10:56,281 --> 00:10:59,023
But she'll still have powers
when all this blows over.

218
00:10:59,242 --> 00:11:01,449
You can test her
when we know you're safe.

219
00:11:01,661 --> 00:11:03,026
What do we do with her
in the meantime?

220
00:11:05,957 --> 00:11:08,744
We have to protect her
from herself.

221
00:11:09,419 --> 00:11:13,833
Convince her that
using her powers is putting
her life in danger.

222
00:11:16,134 --> 00:11:18,796
That it takes
more than it gives.

223
00:11:23,057 --> 00:11:25,469
What if Jen has
inherited abilities as well?

224
00:11:25,685 --> 00:11:27,300
[sighs]

225
00:11:28,062 --> 00:11:30,553
Jen is already too much
to handle even without powers.

226
00:11:30,773 --> 00:11:32,513
We have to test her, too.

227
00:11:33,067 --> 00:11:34,147
Yeah.

228
00:11:35,862 --> 00:11:37,853
Oh, God, Jefferson.

229
00:11:39,407 --> 00:11:41,568
I'm so scared for our girls.

230
00:11:43,620 --> 00:11:45,076
I know.

231
00:11:49,626 --> 00:11:50,615
[indistinct chatter]

232
00:11:50,835 --> 00:11:51,665
[Darius]
That's what I've been--

233
00:11:51,878 --> 00:11:55,336
Bruh, when I say stop arguing,
that's what's got to happen,
period.

234
00:11:55,548 --> 00:11:57,504
Then we can get
to the root cause
of the problem.

235
00:11:57,717 --> 00:12:00,880
But we can't do that
if you're yelling
and cussing.

236
00:12:01,095 --> 00:12:03,336
I can't let ninjas
just be out here
punking me, Mr. Nasir.

237
00:12:03,598 --> 00:12:04,508
You gotta use your head.

238
00:12:04,724 --> 00:12:07,261
We're not asking you
to allow someone
to punk you,

239
00:12:07,518 --> 00:12:09,179
we're asking
that you control your anger.

240
00:12:09,395 --> 00:12:10,760
[cell phone ringing]

241
00:12:10,980 --> 00:12:12,220
I have to take this.

242
00:12:12,398 --> 00:12:14,389
Talk less, listen more.

243
00:12:15,235 --> 00:12:16,224
That's what
I've been trying--

244
00:12:16,444 --> 00:12:19,311
Come on, use your head, man.
This is your future.
I got mine.

245
00:12:19,530 --> 00:12:21,066
[arguing continues
indistinctly]

246
00:12:24,452 --> 00:12:25,157
Yeah?

247
00:12:25,370 --> 00:12:26,576
Is this the electrician?

248
00:12:26,829 --> 00:12:28,444
What can I do for you,
Inspector?

249
00:12:28,665 --> 00:12:31,407
-ls there anyone else
like you in Freeland?
-[scoffs]

250
00:12:31,626 --> 00:12:36,165
Okay, not exactly like you,
but I just mean
someone with, uh...

251
00:12:37,799 --> 00:12:39,630
unique abilities.

252
00:12:39,842 --> 00:12:41,002
Why do you ask?

253
00:12:41,219 --> 00:12:43,926
There was an incident
at the university.

254
00:12:44,138 --> 00:12:45,674
Some students reported
seeing a woman

255
00:12:45,890 --> 00:12:48,927
destroy a Confederate
general's statue with a stomp.

256
00:12:49,560 --> 00:12:51,266
No matter how much I agree
with what she did,

257
00:12:51,479 --> 00:12:54,266
you just can't go around
destroying university property,

258
00:12:54,482 --> 00:12:55,847
or any property.

259
00:12:56,067 --> 00:12:58,274
I haven't heard of anyone
like that in Freeland,

260
00:12:58,486 --> 00:13:00,522
but if I hear of anything,
I'll hit you up.

261
00:13:00,738 --> 00:13:01,898
Hey, yo.

262
00:13:02,115 --> 00:13:03,821
Since I'm looking out
for you,

263
00:13:04,033 --> 00:13:05,364
I need you to do
something for me.

264
00:13:05,576 --> 00:13:06,736
Something like what?

265
00:13:06,953 --> 00:13:09,410
That clue you gave me
to find Toledo,
it didn't pan out.

266
00:13:09,664 --> 00:13:11,279
Could you find another way
to track him down?

267
00:13:11,499 --> 00:13:12,830
[Inspector Henderson]
I'll see what I can do.

268
00:13:13,042 --> 00:13:14,907
Why are you so hung up
on Toledo anyway?

269
00:13:15,128 --> 00:13:16,163
He '5 a hired gun.

270
00:13:16,379 --> 00:13:19,792
I ain't after Toledo.
I'm after his boss,
Tobias Whale.

271
00:13:20,008 --> 00:13:21,839
[scoffs]
You chasing ghosts now?

272
00:13:22,051 --> 00:13:23,587
No, I saw Tobias.

273
00:13:23,803 --> 00:13:26,215
The crazy thing is,
he looks like he hasn't
aged a day in 30 years.

274
00:13:26,472 --> 00:13:27,803
How is that possible?

275
00:13:28,016 --> 00:13:29,552
I'll let you know
when I catch his ass.

276
00:13:31,978 --> 00:13:33,434
Wait a minute... Hello?

277
00:13:37,108 --> 00:13:38,439
[knocking on door]

278
00:13:39,110 --> 00:13:39,849
Hey...

279
00:13:40,486 --> 00:13:41,601
Anissa, how you feeling?

280
00:13:41,821 --> 00:13:43,436
Dad, I'm ready to go out
in the streets.

281
00:13:43,698 --> 00:13:45,609
I was thinking we could hit
the community center,

282
00:13:45,825 --> 00:13:47,156
and then maybe take down
some Green Light houses--

283
00:13:47,368 --> 00:13:48,357
Whoa!
Whoa, whoa, whoa!

284
00:13:48,578 --> 00:13:51,866
You're a teacher
and a med student,
and that's all you need to be.

285
00:13:52,290 --> 00:13:55,077
Just because you have
abilities doesn't mean
you have to use them.

286
00:13:55,960 --> 00:13:56,915
I've already used them.

287
00:13:57,128 --> 00:13:59,335
To destroy
a Confederate statue.

288
00:13:59,547 --> 00:14:03,631
Oh. I know.
It was a mistake.
I lost my head.

289
00:14:03,843 --> 00:14:06,425
That's just it, Anissa.
You can't afford to lose
your head.

290
00:14:06,679 --> 00:14:08,840
That's when people
get hurt, or worse.

291
00:14:09,057 --> 00:14:12,390
Okay. Then train me.
Show me how to do this.

292
00:14:12,643 --> 00:14:15,009
No. You're clearly not ready.

293
00:14:15,229 --> 00:14:17,140
No, Dad, you're not ready.

294
00:14:18,900 --> 00:14:20,731
There's a difference.

295
00:14:20,943 --> 00:14:23,104
That box
you gave your mother...

296
00:14:23,321 --> 00:14:24,857
The box of
my father's research...

297
00:14:26,240 --> 00:14:27,480
Where'd you get it?

298
00:14:32,121 --> 00:14:34,737
I got it from
your father's editor,
David Poe.

299
00:14:35,666 --> 00:14:36,576
Why?

300
00:14:37,251 --> 00:14:39,367
Dad, when I first got
my powers,

301
00:14:39,587 --> 00:14:41,373
I didn't know
what was going on with me.

302
00:14:41,589 --> 00:14:44,126
So I started doing
some digging on the Internet

303
00:14:44,342 --> 00:14:45,957
and I saw that Grandpa
was doing research

304
00:14:46,177 --> 00:14:48,634
on missing kids
and enhanced abilities.

305
00:14:48,846 --> 00:14:52,634
So, I reached out
to his editor,
and he gave me what he had.

306
00:14:53,935 --> 00:14:56,847
I did what I could,
but it was so over my head

307
00:14:57,063 --> 00:14:58,348
that I had to give it to Mom.

308
00:14:58,564 --> 00:15:01,101
It was selfish and reckless
to give that box to your mother

309
00:15:01,317 --> 00:15:03,057
without giving her
all the details.

310
00:15:03,403 --> 00:15:05,234
Your grandfather
was murdered.

311
00:15:05,822 --> 00:15:07,437
You don't think
he was researching

312
00:15:07,657 --> 00:15:10,820
anything else that may
have been dangerous?

313
00:15:12,036 --> 00:15:14,027
So you think the box
was the reason
for the break-in?

314
00:15:14,247 --> 00:15:15,612
I don't know.

315
00:15:15,873 --> 00:15:19,161
But if there's
a chance that it is,
you have to warn David Poe.

316
00:15:19,502 --> 00:15:21,584
No powers, just you.

317
00:15:22,296 --> 00:15:23,251
Okay.

318
00:15:26,717 --> 00:15:28,457
[school bell ringing]

319
00:15:31,514 --> 00:15:33,596
[Lady Eve humming]

320
00:15:40,565 --> 00:15:42,556
[Gambi] We need
to have a conversation.

321
00:15:43,693 --> 00:15:47,060
I already told you,
the Stewart situation
is being cleaned up.

322
00:15:47,280 --> 00:15:49,020
I'm not here about Lynn.

323
00:15:49,532 --> 00:15:53,491
I'm here about Tobias.
The man is a problem.

324
00:15:53,703 --> 00:15:57,571
[scoffs] He is a retail outlet

325
00:15:57,790 --> 00:16:00,827
who makes a 300% profit.

326
00:16:01,043 --> 00:16:04,956
That kind of financial asset
is almost impossible
to replace.

327
00:16:05,173 --> 00:16:08,631
Evelyn, the man is wanted.
He's supposed
to be underground.

328
00:16:08,843 --> 00:16:10,083
His head's gotten too big.

329
00:16:10,303 --> 00:16:11,839
Ever since his little visit
to my shop,

330
00:16:12,054 --> 00:16:13,715
I've been keeping tabs on him.

331
00:16:13,931 --> 00:16:16,513
Whatever message you thought
you sent, he didn't receive.

332
00:16:16,726 --> 00:16:19,058
He's been strutting around
this city like he owns it.

333
00:16:19,270 --> 00:16:21,261
He's about to open
a night club, for God's sakes.

334
00:16:21,481 --> 00:16:23,938
It's only a matter of time
before he's caught
by the cops.

335
00:16:24,150 --> 00:16:26,937
Or even worse...
Black Lightning.

336
00:16:27,153 --> 00:16:28,438
If he talks,

337
00:16:28,654 --> 00:16:31,020
he could dismantle
the whole ecosystem
we've created over the years.

338
00:16:31,240 --> 00:16:33,196
We need to clip his wings.

339
00:16:33,409 --> 00:16:38,779
I am aware that Tobias has been
somewhat of a habitual
line-stepper lately,

340
00:16:39,040 --> 00:16:40,530
but, Gambi...

341
00:16:43,252 --> 00:16:46,665
you and I both know
ecosystems are tricky.

342
00:16:47,006 --> 00:16:50,089
Taking Tobias out
would throw that balance off.

343
00:16:51,969 --> 00:16:53,209
But...

344
00:16:55,932 --> 00:16:58,014
You could have Joey Toledo.

345
00:16:58,643 --> 00:17:01,180
Toledo is Tobias's right hand.

346
00:17:02,271 --> 00:17:05,013
If you remove him
from the equation,

347
00:17:05,233 --> 00:17:09,442
maybe Tobias will get the hint
and start being more careful.

348
00:17:09,654 --> 00:17:11,144
And if Tobias
doesn't fall in line?

349
00:17:11,364 --> 00:17:14,151
I'll throw him off that bridge
when I get to it.

350
00:17:15,868 --> 00:17:17,358
Do we have a deal?

351
00:17:19,413 --> 00:17:20,368
Deal.

352
00:17:34,345 --> 00:17:36,677
Give Mr. Toledo my regards.

353
00:17:51,654 --> 00:17:52,689
[Jennifer sighs]

354
00:17:56,617 --> 00:17:59,905
All right.
What's the deal with you two?

355
00:18:00,162 --> 00:18:01,823
Something's up, I can tell.

356
00:18:04,083 --> 00:18:05,869
Nothing's up, Jen.
I'm just reading the paper.

357
00:18:06,085 --> 00:18:07,950
Yeah, and Anissa's
just studying.

358
00:18:08,462 --> 00:18:09,998
You know
what you're not doing?

359
00:18:10,339 --> 00:18:11,249
Talking.

360
00:18:11,465 --> 00:18:14,548
[Anissa] Don't worry
about it, Jen.
Dad and l are cool.

361
00:18:17,680 --> 00:18:20,513
-Right, Dad?
-Yeah. Cool.

362
00:18:22,435 --> 00:18:24,767
So everything is normal?
I'm just making all this up
in my head?

363
00:18:24,979 --> 00:18:26,139
Apparently.

364
00:18:26,397 --> 00:18:28,137
Okay, well, on a normal day,
you would have noticed

365
00:18:28,357 --> 00:18:30,473
that I'm wearing
your favorite shirt
without permission

366
00:18:30,693 --> 00:18:32,433
and Dad would have asked
at least a dozen times

367
00:18:32,653 --> 00:18:35,645
if I had an activity
to replace track yet, so...

368
00:18:35,865 --> 00:18:37,526
You guys wanna try again?

369
00:18:40,578 --> 00:18:42,785
[Jefferson] All right.
If you must know,

370
00:18:43,039 --> 00:18:45,906
Anissa was upset
with me, um,

371
00:18:46,125 --> 00:18:49,037
because I blew off
a follow-up scan
your mother wanted to run.

372
00:18:49,253 --> 00:18:49,912
Uh, I...

373
00:18:50,129 --> 00:18:53,121
I was busy, and I thought
it wasn't important,

374
00:18:53,466 --> 00:18:54,330
but...

375
00:18:54,925 --> 00:18:58,668
your sister convinced me
to, uh, do the scan.

376
00:18:58,929 --> 00:18:59,839
-Yeah.
-So...

377
00:19:00,056 --> 00:19:01,796
So all this was about a scan?

378
00:19:02,141 --> 00:19:04,883
Look, I was just trying
to look out for Dad, Jen.

379
00:19:05,144 --> 00:19:07,851
You know, protecting is what
the Pierce family does best.

380
00:19:11,192 --> 00:19:13,274
All right, guys,
I have some errands to run,

381
00:19:13,486 --> 00:19:14,566
so I'll see you guys later.

382
00:19:14,779 --> 00:19:15,985
-[Jefferson] Yeah.
-[Jennifer] Okay.

383
00:19:18,532 --> 00:19:22,241
So are you doing
this brain scan
after family dinner tonight?

384
00:19:22,453 --> 00:19:26,742
Well, uh, your mother
had to leave town suddenly
for a conference.

385
00:19:26,957 --> 00:19:29,664
But when she's free,
I'll have the test done.

386
00:19:31,879 --> 00:19:32,743
Okay.

387
00:19:34,215 --> 00:19:35,876
[scoffs and chuckles]

388
00:19:36,092 --> 00:19:38,504
Hi, Mr. Poe,
it's Anissa Pierce again.

389
00:19:38,719 --> 00:19:41,711
If you could give me
a call back when you get
this message, that'd be great.

390
00:19:41,931 --> 00:19:46,174
I hope everything's great
with you, and I'll talk
to you soon. Bye.

391
00:19:48,187 --> 00:19:49,267
[sighs]

392
00:19:58,572 --> 00:20:00,608
-[Lynn] Hey, what are you
doing here?
-Hey.

393
00:20:00,825 --> 00:20:03,737
Uncle Gambi, he let me in
on his way out for lunch.

394
00:20:03,953 --> 00:20:06,535
Look, I stopped at your place,
picked up a few things.

395
00:20:06,789 --> 00:20:10,077
I just want you to be
as comfortable as possible
while you're here.

396
00:20:10,292 --> 00:20:13,500
-I appreciate it. Thank you.
-You're welcome.

397
00:20:13,713 --> 00:20:16,796
Mom, look, I'm sorry
about yesterday.

398
00:20:17,007 --> 00:20:18,793
I feel bad
how our conversation ended.

399
00:20:19,009 --> 00:20:22,092
[sighs] I just want you
to have a normal life,

400
00:20:22,304 --> 00:20:23,794
free of the trials
and tribulations

401
00:20:24,014 --> 00:20:25,970
your father and I
had to go through.

402
00:20:26,392 --> 00:20:28,178
When he put on that suit
and walked out the door,

403
00:20:28,394 --> 00:20:30,430
I never knew if he was gonna
walk back through it again.

404
00:20:30,688 --> 00:20:32,553
Is that what you want
for your life?

405
00:20:32,773 --> 00:20:37,107
Is that how you want
the people who love you
to live their lives?

406
00:20:38,946 --> 00:20:40,277
Wait.

407
00:20:40,489 --> 00:20:43,777
ls Dad being Black Lightning
why you two broke up?

408
00:20:46,245 --> 00:20:47,576
Yeah.

409
00:20:48,998 --> 00:20:52,331
This life is hard, baby.
That's what I'm telling you.

410
00:20:52,585 --> 00:20:55,042
And if you're not careful,
you could lose yourself in it.

411
00:20:55,379 --> 00:20:56,994
When's the last time
you had a conversation

412
00:20:57,214 --> 00:20:58,829
with anyone
besides your family?

413
00:20:59,049 --> 00:21:01,461
When's the last time
you were on a date?

414
00:21:01,719 --> 00:21:04,256
When you do
what your father does,

415
00:21:04,472 --> 00:21:06,713
what you wanna do,

416
00:21:07,600 --> 00:21:10,091
everybody gets
a happy ending but you.

417
00:21:10,436 --> 00:21:12,893
But the community,
they fell apart, Mom,
without Black Lightning,

418
00:21:13,147 --> 00:21:14,637
but people are starting
to believe

419
00:21:14,857 --> 00:21:16,597
that they can get up
from The One Hundred again,

420
00:21:16,817 --> 00:21:18,023
up from the crooked police.

421
00:21:18,235 --> 00:21:20,021
Look, I can finally help
Dad free Freeland.

422
00:21:20,237 --> 00:21:21,852
And I'm willing
to sacrifice my happiness

423
00:21:22,072 --> 00:21:23,608
so that other people
can have theirs.

424
00:21:27,453 --> 00:21:29,284
[indistinct chatter]

425
00:21:49,350 --> 00:21:51,386
-Can I help you, dear?
-Oh, I hope so.

426
00:21:51,602 --> 00:21:54,014
I'm looking for David Poe.
Is he around today?

427
00:21:54,230 --> 00:21:57,893
I'm sorry. David died
a few days ago.

428
00:21:58,108 --> 00:22:00,941
He was struck by a car
on his morning bike ride.

429
00:22:01,153 --> 00:22:02,484
The police said
it was a hit-and-run.

430
00:22:03,823 --> 00:22:05,154
Did you know him well?

431
00:22:06,659 --> 00:22:07,648
Yeah, he, um...

432
00:22:08,953 --> 00:22:10,659
He was a friend of the family.

433
00:22:10,871 --> 00:22:13,863
I'm so sorry to be the one
to share this with you.

on the stove for you.
It should still be warm.

Anissa, what is it?

472
00:24:41,522 --> 00:24:42,728
It's David Poe...

00:25:01,333 --> 00:25:03,164
I came as soon as you called.

478
00:25:03,669 --> 00:25:05,876
What is it? Are you okay?

479
00:25:06,880 --> 00:25:10,418
Remember when Anissa
was ten months old
and she kept trying to walk?

480
00:25:10,634 --> 00:25:12,966
Yeah, of course I remember.

481
00:25:13,178 --> 00:25:15,089
She'd fall,
and then she'd cry.

482
00:25:15,639 --> 00:25:17,595
She'd fall,
and then she'd cry.

483
00:25:18,392 --> 00:25:20,474
She did it
over and over again.

484
00:25:20,686 --> 00:25:21,926
A week later,
she was walking.

485
00:25:22,146 --> 00:25:24,808
Ever since the day
she was born,
she's been stubborn.

486
00:25:25,941 --> 00:25:27,147
She never stops.

487
00:25:28,694 --> 00:25:32,312
She will keep falling
until she walks.

488
00:25:32,531 --> 00:25:34,692
-You have to
help her, Jefferson.
-Are you kidding?

489
00:25:34,908 --> 00:25:38,150
Eventually, she will
go back out there,
whether we like it or not.

490
00:25:38,746 --> 00:25:40,953
And if she doesn't
have someone to look after her,

491
00:25:41,165 --> 00:25:42,621
then she will get hurt.

492
00:25:44,877 --> 00:25:46,083
Or worse.

493
00:25:47,546 --> 00:25:49,502
Training her
is the right thing to do.

494
00:25:49,715 --> 00:25:53,549
Okay, what happened to
"Powers are the drug
that destroys lives"?

495
00:25:53,761 --> 00:25:55,376
And "I'm an addict"?

496
00:25:55,596 --> 00:25:57,461
Do you want that for Anissa?
To destroy her life?

497
00:25:57,681 --> 00:25:59,387
I'm not talking about
destroying her life.

498
00:25:59,600 --> 00:26:02,637
I'm asking you to protect it.

499
00:26:02,853 --> 00:26:04,514
[Gambi] Hey, Jefferson.

500
00:26:05,189 --> 00:26:07,180
If I'd known you were coming,
I would have picked up
some more food.

505
00:26:22,372 --> 00:26:23,782
On my way.

506
00:26:24,833 --> 00:26:26,744
What is it? What happened?

507
00:26:26,960 --> 00:26:27,915
It's nothing.

One of the only things
brothas got right.

511
00:26:49,149 --> 00:26:50,389
What do you need, sis?

512
00:26:53,612 --> 00:26:54,522
Joey".

513
00:26:57,241 --> 00:26:58,321
He's dead.

514
00:26:59,159 --> 00:27:00,524
What?

515
00:27:01,120 --> 00:27:04,988
One of your men found this
before the police arrived.

516
00:27:24,852 --> 00:27:26,012
[sighs]

517
00:27:32,484 --> 00:27:35,271
-Son of a bitch!
-[crystals rattling]

518
00:27:37,614 --> 00:27:39,195
Run and hide.

519
00:27:39,658 --> 00:27:42,616
That's exactly
what Lady Eve wants me to do.

520
00:27:43,162 --> 00:27:48,156
-No.
-lt's either her or you.
You understand that?

521
00:27:48,625 --> 00:27:50,661
Do you understand that?

522
00:27:50,878 --> 00:27:53,620
If I kill Lady Eve without
the Shadow Board's permission,

523
00:27:55,465 --> 00:27:57,547
I might as well
bury myself with her.

524
00:28:04,057 --> 00:28:05,092
[siren whoops]

525
00:28:05,309 --> 00:28:06,970
[indistinct radio chatter]

526
00:28:10,272 --> 00:28:11,682
[cell phone vibrates]

527
00:28:13,817 --> 00:28:14,897
[sighs]

528
00:28:30,834 --> 00:28:32,165
[electricity crackling]

529
00:28:39,051 --> 00:28:39,915
What's up?

530
00:28:40,135 --> 00:28:43,593
Joey Toledo took one
to the chest, he suffocated
in his own blood.

531
00:28:43,847 --> 00:28:45,803
Toledo was my only lead
to Tobias.

532
00:28:46,016 --> 00:28:47,096
Maybe not.

533
00:28:47,309 --> 00:28:49,049
I looked a little closer
at Toledo.

534
00:28:49,269 --> 00:28:50,725
His girlfriend's car

535
00:28:50,938 --> 00:28:53,304
has gotten a lot of tickets
outside this new jazz club

536
00:28:53,523 --> 00:28:55,263
as it was being remodeled.

537
00:28:55,484 --> 00:28:56,974
Tomorrow's the grand opening.

538
00:28:57,194 --> 00:28:59,355
Thing is, she couldn't have
gotten those tickets

539
00:28:59,571 --> 00:29:02,813
because she was clocked in
at work halfway across
the city at the time.

540
00:29:03,033 --> 00:29:05,194
So, it has to be Toledo.

541
00:29:05,410 --> 00:29:07,571
And if Toledo was there
for the remodel,

542
00:29:08,205 --> 00:29:11,538
chances are,
if he was still breathing,
he'd be there for the opening.

543
00:29:11,750 --> 00:29:13,411
And given the givens,

544
00:29:14,127 --> 00:29:16,209
if Tobias is back
in Freeland...

545
00:29:16,421 --> 00:29:17,456
[sirens wailing]

546
00:29:17,673 --> 00:29:19,004
...that's where we'll find him.

547
00:29:21,927 --> 00:29:23,713
You're welcome!

548
00:29:25,013 --> 00:29:27,550
The two men were gunned down
near PAX Institute

549
00:29:27,808 --> 00:29:30,265
trying to escape with
high-end medical equipment.

550
00:29:30,477 --> 00:29:33,969
When asked for his comments,
PAX CEO, Christopher Smith,

551
00:29:34,189 --> 00:29:38,398
said he would make no comment
until police make an arrest.

552
00:29:40,737 --> 00:29:42,193
I take it you saw.

553
00:29:43,949 --> 00:29:45,064
Guess you were right.

554
00:29:45,951 --> 00:29:47,657
Wrong place, wrong time.

555
00:29:47,869 --> 00:29:49,405
I'm just glad you're safe.

556
00:29:49,746 --> 00:29:51,452
Look, Peter...

557
00:29:52,124 --> 00:29:54,831
I know we don't see eye-to-eye
on a lot of things,

558
00:29:55,043 --> 00:29:57,034
but I do believe
you care about Jefferson,

559
00:29:58,005 --> 00:29:59,666
and our family,

560
00:30:00,382 --> 00:30:04,045
and protecting us,
and because of that...

561
00:30:05,721 --> 00:30:07,302
I need to ask you a favor.

562
00:30:09,099 --> 00:30:10,589
[indistinct chatter]

563
00:30:19,234 --> 00:30:20,269

[groaning]

565
00:30:22,696 --> 00:30:23,936
[Tobias] Hmm.

566
00:30:26,533 --> 00:30:30,446
So, you wanna write about me,
huh, Uncle Tom?

567
00:30:33,457 --> 00:30:34,697
[groans]

568
00:30:34,916 --> 00:30:36,998
It's time for you to eat
your damn words.

569
00:30:37,210 --> 00:30:38,871
[muffled grunting]

570
00:30:40,547 --> 00:30:41,707

572
00:30:46,970 --> 00:30:48,506
[softly] Dad.

[indistinct chatter]

575
00:31:13,080 --> 00:31:15,537
This suit is gonna be
state-of—the-art, Lynn.

576
00:31:16,083 --> 00:31:17,493
It'll keep Anissa safe.

577
00:31:17,709 --> 00:31:19,916
I just hope you're not
making my baby a casket.

578
00:31:20,128 --> 00:31:21,709
[device trills]

579
00:31:26,968 --> 00:31:28,128
It's Anissa.

580
00:31:28,762 --> 00:31:30,002
Would you tell her
I'll be up in a minute?

581
00:31:30,222 --> 00:31:31,086
Of course.

582
00:31:39,272 --> 00:31:40,603
-Hey.
-Hey, Anissa.

583
00:31:40,816 --> 00:31:42,181
-How are you?
-All right.

584
00:31:42,401 --> 00:31:43,982
-Your mom will be up
in a minute.
-Okay.

585
00:31:47,656 --> 00:31:49,738
-This is for you.
-For me?

586
00:31:56,998 --> 00:31:58,408
You're making me a suit?

587
00:31:58,625 --> 00:32:00,661
I'm making it
with a breathable,
Kevlar weave,

588
00:32:00,877 --> 00:32:03,539
so even when
you're not bulletproof,
you'll still be bulletproof.

589
00:32:03,797 --> 00:32:06,129
It's gonna be fireproof,
and water-resistant,

590
00:32:06,341 --> 00:32:09,003
it's gonna have
state-of—the-art
neuro-interface technology

591
00:32:09,219 --> 00:32:10,334
stitched into the lining,

592
00:32:10,554 --> 00:32:12,260
so I'll be able to monitor
your Vitals from here.

593
00:32:12,472 --> 00:32:13,757
[Anissa] Wow.

594
00:32:13,974 --> 00:32:16,340
I'll run you through
all the bells and whistles
when it's done.

595
00:32:16,601 --> 00:32:18,216
Just give me a little while
to get it together.

596
00:32:18,437 --> 00:32:20,052
[exhales] Okay.

597
00:32:20,272 --> 00:32:22,979
If you ladies will excuse me,
I have a lot of work to do.

598
00:32:27,320 --> 00:32:28,560
[Anissa sighs]

599
00:32:32,742 --> 00:32:35,324
Anissa, you think
I don't get it, but I do.

600
00:32:36,955 --> 00:32:38,161
Ever since you were
a little girl,

601
00:32:38,373 --> 00:32:39,863
you were always
protective of others.

602
00:32:40,083 --> 00:32:43,120
Whether it was Jen
or someone being bullied
on the playground,

603
00:32:43,336 --> 00:32:44,872
you always stood up for them.

604
00:32:46,506 --> 00:32:48,497
And now, you want to
stand up for Freeland.

605
00:32:52,179 --> 00:32:53,294
Just be careful,

606
00:32:54,890 --> 00:32:56,175
okay?

607
00:32:56,391 --> 00:32:57,471
I love you, Mom.

608
00:32:58,935 --> 00:32:59,970
I love you, too.

609
00:33:02,355 --> 00:33:04,596
-All right, let's go.
Let's get you home.
-Yeah.

610
00:33:05,275 --> 00:33:06,310

that we could grab a drink

Sure.

I'm a hypocrite.

You know how I always
get on you to keep your head?

00:38:08,286 --> 00:38:11,119
We are both
gonna make mistakes,

686
00:38:14,042 --> 00:38:16,784
horrible mistakes,

687
00:38:17,003 --> 00:38:20,211
but without us,
Freeland doesn't stand
a chance.

688
00:38:22,342 --> 00:38:23,627
[chuckles]

689
00:38:23,885 --> 00:38:25,000
I don't know everything,

690
00:38:26,846 --> 00:38:30,805
but what I do know,
I'm going to teach my daughter.

691
00:38:32,727 --> 00:38:33,933
[chuckles softly]

692
00:38:34,187 --> 00:38:35,768
No, you're not a hypocrite.

693
00:38:37,398 --> 00:38:38,558
You're great.

694
00:38:39,234 --> 00:38:42,067
You're a great dad,
great principal,

695
00:38:42,570 --> 00:38:44,731
the greatest hero.

696
00:38:44,948 --> 00:38:48,315
I mean, Dad, I can only hope
to live up to your example.

697
00:38:48,618 --> 00:38:49,573
No.

698
00:38:50,787 --> 00:38:52,118
Be better than me.

699
00:38:56,417 --> 00:38:58,328
[cell phone vibrating]

700
00:38:59,504 --> 00:39:00,664
[sighs]

701
00:39:00,880 --> 00:39:01,869
[Anissa clears throat]

702
00:39:04,926 --> 00:39:05,881
[clears throat]

703
00:39:06,678 --> 00:39:08,259
Yeah.

704
00:39:08,471 --> 00:39:11,053
[Inspector Henderson]
You went too far this time.

705
00:39:11,266 --> 00:39:12,972
[indistinct chatter on radio]

706
00:39:23,862 --> 00:39:26,023
Evelyn Stillwater-Ferguson,

707
00:39:26,239 --> 00:39:28,981
a prominent member of
the Freeland community,
was murdered tonight

708
00:39:29,200 --> 00:39:32,943
along with two employees
at her Black Bird
Funeral Parlor.

709
00:39:33,162 --> 00:39:34,322
Police sources say
she was killed

710
00:39:34,539 --> 00:39:35,904
-by electrocution...
-[gasps]

711
00:39:36,124 --> 00:39:38,740
...making Black Lightning
their prime suspect.

712
00:39:38,960 --> 00:39:40,370
Andjust like that,

713
00:39:40,587 --> 00:39:43,454
Freeland's protector
just became
its biggest threat.

714
00:39:43,673 --> 00:39:45,834
[breathing heavily]

715
00:39:50,889 --> 00:39:53,346
Do you believe
in the Resurrection, Latavious?
