[Dr. Jace] We have to assume
that Gravedigger
is injecting himself

with whatever remains
of the meta-formula
you left in Markovia.

When I gave myself the shot,
the power lasted for an hour

17

Henderson, he loved Freeland.

39

It was all in his bones
and heart muscles.

40
00:02:35,864 --> 00:02:38,032
That's why he fought
all of his life for her.

41

Fighting for
what he loved, son.

42
00:02:40,660 --> 00:02:43,621
He died because I let him
into my world.

43

Not just in your world.

46

Not just
in Black Lightning's world.

Son, from the moment
we come out of the womb,

55
00:03:14,277 --> 00:03:16,321
the clock starts ticking.

56
00:03:16,362 --> 00:03:19,657
So it ain't about the dying,
it's about the living.

How... How are we going
to live this life

58
00:03:23,119 --> 00:03:26,456

something to celebrate,

59
00:03:27,624 --> 00:03:29,167
and not mourn?

60
00:03:39,510 --> 00:03:42,222
Freeland
continues to celebrate
the one-year anniversary

61
00:03:42,263 --> 00:03:45,058
of the Markovian conflict
in a variety of festive ways.

62
00:03:45,099 --> 00:03:47,477
For those of you who maybe
were living on another planet,

63
00:03:47,518 --> 00:03:50,480
remember on this day last year
the Markovians were defeated,

64
00:03:50,521 --> 00:03:52,857
the government's
ASA experiments were exposed

65
00:03:52,899 --> 00:03:54,609
by Black Lightning
and shut down.

66
00:03:54,651 --> 00:03:57,820
But, and there's always a but,
as the city celebrates,

67
00:03:57,862 --> 00:04:00,114
there are still concerns
with the level of violence

68
00:04:00,156 --> 00:04:03,409
due to the fact
that The One Hundred gang
and rival Kobra Cartel

69
00:04:03,451 --> 00:04:05,620
continue to fight
over territory.

70
00:04:05,662 --> 00:04:09,707
And it seems Freeland's mayor,
Billy Black,
and his police force

71
00:04:09,749 --> 00:04:13,294
are unable to do anything
to put an end to the conflict.

72
00:04:13,336 --> 00:04:15,421
Many are calling
for the mayor to resign,

175
00:09:54,176 --> 00:09:56,178
we have to speak honestly.

176
00:09:56,220 --> 00:09:58,431
We're here to do good, Peter.

177
00:09:58,472 --> 00:10:00,016
I just need
someone knowledgeable

178
00:10:00,057 --> 00:10:01,642
who can oversee
and troubleshoot

179
00:10:01,684 --> 00:10:02,935
our security systems,

180
00:10:02,977 --> 00:10:05,605
protocols,
private human assets.

181
00:10:05,646 --> 00:10:07,481
[scoffs]

182
00:10:07,523 --> 00:10:09,942
Is that what they're calling
corporate assassins these days?

183
00:10:09,984 --> 00:10:13,321
Crazy, right? But yes.

184
00:10:13,362 --> 00:10:14,947
Come on, Peter.

185
00:10:14,989 --> 00:10:17,283
The job's lucrative and cushy.

186
00:10:17,325 --> 00:10:18,993
You deserve a job like this.

187
00:10:19,035 --> 00:10:21,162
With everything that
you sacrificed for this job

188
00:10:21,203 --> 00:10:23,789
and for Freeland
and this country.

189
00:10:25,249 --> 00:10:28,002
I'll pass.

190
00:10:28,044 --> 00:10:30,379
But it was worth me listening
just to hear your voice again.

191
00:10:30,421 --> 00:10:32,256
And to see you.

192
00:10:33,841 --> 00:10:36,719
You know, I cried when they
told me you were dead.

193
00:10:43,726 --> 00:10:45,978
So damn good
to know you're alive.

194
00:10:46,020 --> 00:10:48,105
I'll be taking advantage
of that knowledge.

195
00:10:49,690 --> 00:10:50,941
I hope so.

196
00:10:51,442 --> 00:10:52,485
Hmm.

197
00:11:05,206 --> 00:11:10,044
Say. Would you mind
turning that up, please?

198
00:11:10,086 --> 00:11:13,714
[Mayor Black]
Now, Bill Henderson
didn't lead from behind a desk.

199
00:11:13,756 --> 00:11:18,844
He led by example.
From the frontline.

200
00:11:18,886 --> 00:11:21,013
Which is why
we are all here today,

201
00:11:21,055 --> 00:11:25,393
to pay respect and honor
to Mr. Bill Henderson.

202
00:11:25,434 --> 00:11:28,729
Nobody knew him better
than his lifelong friend,

203
00:11:28,771 --> 00:11:30,690
former Olympian,

204
00:11:30,731 --> 00:11:33,609
principal of Garfield
High School,

205
00:11:33,651 --> 00:11:37,196
Mr. Jefferson Pierce,
who I've asked here today
to say a few words.

206
00:11:37,238 --> 00:11:38,656
[crowd applauds on TV]

207

[camera shutter clicking]

208
00:11:43,160 --> 00:11:45,621
[sighs] Y'all, I think, uh,

209
00:11:47,248 --> 00:11:50,668
Bill woulda found
all this kind of funny.

210
00:11:51,794 --> 00:11:53,170
Over the top.

211
00:11:57,133 --> 00:12:00,052
[clears throat] Henderson
loved Freeland.

212
00:12:03,764 --> 00:12:07,810
It was all in his bones
and his heart muscles.

213
00:12:09,437 --> 00:12:11,689
He spent his whole life
fighting for her.

214
00:12:13,858 --> 00:12:16,777
And he died the way he lived,

215
00:12:16,819 --> 00:12:20,489
fighting for the city
and the people that he loved.

216
00:12:22,992 --> 00:12:24,952
[crowd applauds]

217
00:12:24,994 --> 00:12:27,997
[reporter] Pierce,
one statement, please.

218
00:12:28,038 --> 00:12:31,250
Now, I'd like to introduce you
to our new chief of police,

219
00:12:31,292 --> 00:12:32,668
Chief Lopez.

220
00:12:33,502 --> 00:12:35,421
[crowd applauds]

221
00:12:35,463 --> 00:12:38,132
[camera shutter clicking]

222
00:12:38,174 --> 00:12:40,301
Henderson would still be alive

223
00:12:40,342 --> 00:12:43,637
if it wasn't for
the large amount
of undocumented metas

224
00:12:43,679 --> 00:12:45,431
running rampant in Freeland.

225
00:12:45,473 --> 00:12:47,641
It is because of them

226
00:12:47,683 --> 00:12:51,645
that we need to rebuild
this city's trust
in the department.

227
00:12:51,687 --> 00:12:55,483
I will make sure
that every meta in this city
is documented and tagged,

228
00:12:55,524 --> 00:12:57,318
so that we know
their whereabouts

229
00:12:57,359 --> 00:12:59,445
and power capacity
at all times.

230
00:12:59,487 --> 00:13:02,615
I obviously have some
big footsteps to follow,

231
00:13:02,656 --> 00:13:05,117
-but I think
we'll be up for the task.
-[sighs]

[reporter]
In an exclusive interview
by reporter John Webb,

233
00:13:07,870 --> 00:13:10,831
he talks with reclusive
business man Tobias Whale

234
00:13:10,873 --> 00:13:12,958
about his philanthropy
and his commitment

235
00:13:13,000 --> 00:13:15,336
to helping rebuild
the city of Freeland.

236
00:13:15,377 --> 00:13:18,172
John, I love Freeland.
I always have.

237
00:13:18,214 --> 00:13:20,716
And whatever it's gonna take
to get her back on her feet,

238
00:13:20,758 --> 00:13:22,510
I'm gonna do it.

239
00:13:22,551 --> 00:13:24,678
What does that mean, exactly?

240
00:13:24,720 --> 00:13:26,889
Well, so far we've already
started working
with the mayor's office

241
00:13:26,931 --> 00:13:29,141
and I've committed
a substantial amount of money

242
00:13:29,183 --> 00:13:31,852
to help repair and rebuild
any public institutions

243
00:13:31,894 --> 00:13:33,354
that were damaged
during the war.

244
00:13:33,395 --> 00:13:35,189
That's a big commitment.

245
00:13:35,231 --> 00:13:36,440
For some.

246
00:13:43,739 --> 00:13:45,241
[imperceptible]

247
00:13:46,575 --> 00:13:48,369
What the hell?

248
00:13:48,410 --> 00:13:49,328
What...

249
00:13:51,539 --> 00:13:53,749
I'm curious, what was
the mayor's reaction...

250
00:13:53,791 --> 00:13:55,668
I thought he was dead?

251
00:13:55,709 --> 00:13:57,586
And you think
it's a coincidence
that he shows up now?

252
00:13:57,628 --> 00:13:59,380
...but once he saw my budget,

253
00:13:59,421 --> 00:14:02,007
he knew that I was completely
committed and prepared

254
00:14:02,049 --> 00:14:03,676
to make Freeland great again.

255
00:14:04,760 --> 00:14:05,970
Happy anniversary.

256
00:14:10,057 --> 00:14:13,727
Like, I can't even believe
this is a debate right now.
We don't have a choice.

257
00:14:13,769 --> 00:14:15,563
Oh, we always
have a choice, Anissa.

258
00:14:15,604 --> 00:14:17,481
Oh, God. Here we go.

259
00:14:17,523 --> 00:14:20,901
Yeah, and the choice
in this situation
is to kill his ass.

260
00:14:20,943 --> 00:14:23,362
-Language.
-Just stay out of it.

261
00:14:23,404 --> 00:14:26,115
Look, killing Tobias
will not bring back Bill

262
00:14:26,156 --> 00:14:28,284
or my father
or anyone else he's killed.

263
00:14:28,325 --> 00:14:31,203
Okay, look.
With all due respect, Dad,

264
00:14:31,245 --> 00:14:34,373
I'm personally not concerned
with bringing anyone back.

265
00:14:34,415 --> 00:14:38,627
I'm concerned with the living.
You, me, Mom, Jennifer.

266
00:14:38,669 --> 00:14:40,462
Where is Jennifer?

267
00:14:40,504 --> 00:14:42,298
I don't know. She's probably
outside, flying around again.

268
00:14:42,339 --> 00:14:45,384
Listen. Tobias ain't just
pop up out of nowhere

269
00:14:45,426 --> 00:14:48,387
handing out millions like
he's Santa Claus for no reason.

270
00:14:48,429 --> 00:14:50,931
He's got a plan
and it's not gonna be good
for any of us.

271
00:14:50,973 --> 00:14:53,475
Dad, come on,
he knows who we are.

272
00:14:53,517 --> 00:14:56,228
The information that he has
is way too dangerous

273
00:14:56,270 --> 00:14:59,273
for him to be walking around,
pretending to be
some kind of philanthropist.

274
00:14:59,315 --> 00:15:00,524
She's right, Jefferson.

275
00:15:01,692 --> 00:15:02,943
So, you're okay
with murder now?

276
00:15:02,985 --> 00:15:04,570
In this instance, yes.

277
00:15:04,612 --> 00:15:07,448
If it protects my family,
absolutely.

278
00:15:07,489 --> 00:15:10,159
Look, and I don't see this
as murder, okay?

279
00:15:10,200 --> 00:15:12,453
It's survival. Justice.

280
00:15:12,494 --> 00:15:14,163
[Jefferson]
This conversation is over.

281
00:15:14,204 --> 00:15:16,790
I will not encourage any member
of this family

282
00:15:16,832 --> 00:15:18,417
to go out and become murderers.

283
00:15:18,459 --> 00:15:22,671
Okay. Uh, the reality
is that me, Mom, Jennifer,

284
00:15:22,713 --> 00:15:24,590
we've already taken lives, Dad.

285
00:15:24,632 --> 00:15:26,717
And that doesn't
make us murderers.

286
00:15:26,759 --> 00:15:31,764
All we were trying to do
was protect ourselves
and protect Freeland.

287
00:15:31,805 --> 00:15:33,474
We'll talk about this later.
I have to go.

288
00:15:33,515 --> 00:15:35,517
Just because you're shutting
the conversation down,

289
00:15:35,559 --> 00:15:37,186
it doesn't mean
the problem will go away.

290
00:15:37,227 --> 00:15:39,104
He is going to come after us,
sooner or later.

291
00:15:39,146 --> 00:15:41,023
And we need
to play offense or defense.

292
00:15:41,065 --> 00:15:45,319
Okay, look, Tobias Whale
is off limits to anyone but me!

293
00:15:45,361 --> 00:15:47,321
Period.

294
00:15:47,363 --> 00:15:49,448
When you see Jennifer,
tell her I need to talk
to her ASAP.

this flying thing seriously.

Then at least wear
the damn Black Lightning suit

of being identified.

Besides, I, uh... I fried
the dash and the body cams

and wiped their memories
of what happened, so...

of your license plate number.

00:40:25,005 --> 00:40:26,132
Dr. Stewart,

701
00:40:27,341 --> 00:40:29,427
I'm so glad we ran into you.

702
00:40:29,468 --> 00:40:32,888
We just finished giving a tour
of our lab to Mr. Whale.

703
00:40:32,930 --> 00:40:37,768
Mr. Whale, this is
our star research scientist,
Dr. Lynn Stewart.

704
00:40:37,810 --> 00:40:39,395
Lynn, this is Mr. Whale.

705
00:40:39,437 --> 00:40:41,439
It's a pleasure to meet you,
Dr. Stewart.

706
00:40:41,480 --> 00:40:44,191
I've heard so many
great things about you.

707
00:40:44,233 --> 00:40:47,236
But no one told me
that your beauty
matches your genius.

708
00:40:49,321 --> 00:40:51,449
It's a pleasure
to meet you as well.

709
00:40:51,490 --> 00:40:53,993
[woman] Mr. Whale has joined
our board of directors

710
00:40:54,034 --> 00:40:57,496
and made a very generous
donation to our facility.

711
00:40:58,581 --> 00:40:59,623
Thank you.

712
00:40:59,665 --> 00:41:01,667
[Tobias] No. Thank you.

713
00:41:01,709 --> 00:41:04,044
The work you're doing here
is very interesting
to me personally.

714
00:41:04,086 --> 00:41:06,422
And I just wanted to make sure
you had all the resources

715
00:41:06,464 --> 00:41:08,632
you need to complete your work.

716
00:41:08,674 --> 00:41:10,509
[woman] Oh,
and we do appreciate it.

717
00:41:10,551 --> 00:41:12,636
Uh, let me show you
the reservoir facility.

718
00:41:12,678 --> 00:41:15,139
Yes. It was wonderful
meeting you.

719
00:41:15,181 --> 00:41:18,642
I'm sure we'll be seeing
more and more of each other
as time progresses.
