1. thud
Copy !req
2. I put a shock to your system.
Copy !req
3. "Static Shock."
Copy !req
4. 'And in local news'
Copy !req
5. 'police report finding
three men'
Copy !req
6. 'literally
stuck to the ceiling'
Copy !req
7. 'of a warehouse
they were trying to rob.'
Copy !req
8. But the adhesive
wasn't glue or paste
Copy !req
9. it was static electricity.
Copy !req
10. According
to the frightened thieves
Copy !req
11. they were caught
by a young masked man
Copy !req
12. 'who had mutant
electromagnetic powers'
Copy !req
13. 'and called himself "Static."'
Copy !req
14. Mutant?
That's degrading.
Copy !req
15. You got a better word?
Copy !req
16. - I kind of like metahuman.
- Catchy.
Copy !req
17. 'For a related story'
Copy !req
18. 'we go live
to Shelly Sandoval.'
Copy !req
19. Thanks, Jim.
Copy !req
20. Victims are still arriving here
Copy !req
21. at County General
following the gas explosion
Copy !req
22. that's come to be known
as "The Big Bang."
Copy !req
23. 'Here is just
the latest arrival.'
Copy !req
24. According to doctors
Copy !req
25. this young man's
road to recovery
Copy !req
26. could be rather long.
Copy !req
27. 'Police say there
may be hundreds more'
Copy !req
28. 'of these unfortunate
young people'
Copy !req
29. 'still on the streets.'
Copy !req
30. Hundreds?
Copy !req
31. Yo, V, did you hear th..
Copy !req
32. Virg?
Copy !req
33. - Virg?
- Not now, Rich. I'm vibing.
Copy !req
34. - Huh?
- I'm a human CD player.
Copy !req
35. Even got surround sound.
Copy !req
36. Hey!
Copy !req
37. Eh, Virg.
Civilian at 12 o'clock.
Copy !req
38. Why the look, Frieda?
Copy !req
39. They all out of Britney?
Copy !req
40. There's this kid
over in the corner
Copy !req
41. it-it's like
he's sick or something.
Copy !req
42. That explains where
the Britney CDs went.
Copy !req
43. Virgil!
Copy !req
44. It's a Bang Baby.
Copy !req
45. Aah!
Copy !req
46. Virgil. The tough guy.
Copy !req
47. Bad timing, Francis.
Copy !req
48. What's the rush?
Copy !req
49. That. That's what the rush is.
Copy !req
50. thud
Copy !req
51. You see? A Bang Baby.
Copy !req
52. Don't tell me
you're scared of a baby.
Copy !req
53. Me? No. I'm just running
for the exercise.
Copy !req
54. But you might want to show
a little concern here.
Copy !req
55. Stay put.
Copy !req
56. You still got business with me.
Copy !req
57. With what's left
of you, you mean.
Copy !req
58. Oh. He's certifiable.
Copy !req
59. We knew that back
in second grade.
Copy !req
60. You're..
You're a Bang Baby, too.
Copy !req
61. Fresh born and ready to play.
Copy !req
62. Even got a new name. Hotstreak.
Copy !req
63. One charbroiled
Geek-kabob coming up.
Copy !req
64. Ugh!
Copy !req
65. Phew.
Copy !req
66. You know, Frieda
Copy !req
67. you've always been
real cold to me.
Copy !req
68. How about we change all that?
Copy !req
69. S-step off, Francis.
Copy !req
70. Gettin' warm out here,
isn't it?
Copy !req
71. - So, what about it, Frieda?
- Ugh!
Copy !req
72. That wasn't nice.
Copy !req
73. Neither is this.
Copy !req
74. Yes!
Copy !req
75. Tell me that doesn't give
Copy !req
76. chest pain a new meaning.
Copy !req
77. - Are you alright?
- Yeah, but..
Copy !req
78. Look out.
Copy !req
79. Arrr!
Copy !req
80. Newton's laws are catchin'
up with you, Hotstreak
Copy !req
81. or should I start
calling you "Burnout?"
Copy !req
82. See, gravity's my friend now.
Copy !req
83. Ahh!
Copy !req
84. Whoo-hoo!
Copy !req
85. Ah!
Copy !req
86. If you think this
is a standoff
Copy !req
87. you're wrong.
Copy !req
88. Aah!
Copy !req
89. Gah!
Copy !req
90. I don't even know your name
Copy !req
91. but in about a minute
it's not going to matter.
Copy !req
92. What happened, Virg?
Copy !req
93. You had him down
for the count, man.
Copy !req
94. I.. I choked.
Copy !req
95. Virg.
Copy !req
96. Everywhere you look,
there's another Bang Baby
Copy !req
97. setting fires,
wrecking buildings
Copy !req
98. scaring everybody
Copy !req
99. and no one's doing
anything about it.
Copy !req
100. Well, what about that kid
they were
Copy !req
101. talking about on the news?
Copy !req
102. What's his name? Static.
Copy !req
103. He's doing something, isn't he?
Copy !req
104. Didn't you hear
what happened today?
Copy !req
105. He got beat. Bad.
Copy !req
106. Besides,
he's probably a Bang Baby, too.
Copy !req
107. If he is, he's one
of the few good ones.
Copy !req
108. - Huh. For now.
- What's that mean?
Copy !req
109. Nobody knows anything
about these meta-humans.
Copy !req
110. What if Static keeps changing
Copy !req
111. what if he turns into
some kind of monster?
Copy !req
112. 'Nobody knows.'
Copy !req
113. 'Not even Static himself.'
Copy !req
114. What if I turn into
some kind of blob?
Copy !req
115. 'You're not gonna
turn into a blob.'
Copy !req
116. 'Now, primordial ooze.'
Copy !req
117. That's another story.
Copy !req
118. Okay, Mr. Def Comedy Jam.
Copy !req
119. Just give me
the slide with your blood.
Copy !req
120. 'Looks the same as mine.'
Copy !req
121. Make you feel any better?
Copy !req
122. Not really.
Copy !req
123. You're looking
pretty healthy, Virgil.
Copy !req
124. So why are you here?
Copy !req
125. Can't be too careful, you know?
Copy !req
126. That's true, but what are you
Copy !req
127. trying to be so careful about?
Copy !req
128. Um, well, I've been going
through these changes.
Copy !req
129. That's normal
for a boy your age.
Copy !req
130. This isn't normal. Believe me.
Copy !req
131. Virgil, these changes
you're talking about.
Copy !req
132. Do they involve another person?
Copy !req
133. A lot of them.
Copy !req
134. Does your father know
what you've been doing?
Copy !req
135. No! And he can't..
Copy !req
136. Hold up. Ha, ha.
Copy !req
137. Doc, we're talking about
two different things here.
Copy !req
138. That's a relief.
Copy !req
139. Except now I'm back
to having no idea
Copy !req
140. what you're so worried about.
Copy !req
141. Can't I just have
the tests, please?
Copy !req
142. Alright, Virgil. If it'll
give you some peace of mind.
Copy !req
143. Whew.
Copy !req
144. You won't tell
my pops, will you?
Copy !req
145. We'll discuss that
later if we need to.
Copy !req
146. Now hold out your arm.
Copy !req
147. Ow!
Copy !req
148. You ever heard of
painless needles, doc?
Copy !req
149. Madam Mayor,
my name is Robert Hawkins.
Copy !req
150. I came here to ask
what the city's doing
Copy !req
151. about these Bang Babies.
Copy !req
152. Mr. Hawkins,
the subject of today's meeting
Copy !req
153. is budget appropriations
Copy !req
154. but there will be a general
meeting next month and—
Copy !req
155. This can't wait a month!
Copy !req
156. Mr. Hawkins, please.
Copy !req
157. You're our leader, we put
our faith and trust in you
Copy !req
158. when we elected you,
but you seem to be forgetting
Copy !req
159. that you serve us,
we don't serve you.
Copy !req
160. - That's right!
- Yeah, that's right!
Copy !req
161. Wow! Sounds like your pops
Copy !req
162. took some public speaking
classes.
Copy !req
163. Nah, he just gets
lots of practice
Copy !req
164. talking to me that way.
Copy !req
165. Alright! Alright!
Copy !req
166. We all know the police have
Copy !req
167. what's left of the tanks
the gas was in
Copy !req
168. so why haven't they been
able to trace the owner?
Copy !req
169. That's a good question,
Mr. Hawkins.
Copy !req
170. And I assure you
the investigation
Copy !req
171. is going ahead at full speed.
Copy !req
172. The minute I have
a definitive answer
Copy !req
173. 'it'll be reported
in the media.'
Copy !req
174. Now, if there are any
questions about the budget.
Copy !req
175. I smell a cover-up.
Copy !req
176. If they're gonna
investigate something
Copy !req
177. it ought to be her.
Copy !req
178. How'd the meeting go?
Copy !req
179. They're keeping
the pressure on
Copy !req
180. but I'm not pointing
Copy !req
181. my finger at anyone.
Copy !req
182. Not until I have all the facts.
Copy !req
183. 'I appreciate your caution.'
Copy !req
184. This is so cool.
Copy !req
185. Yo, you think you could
pick up pay-per-view?
Copy !req
186. This is better.
You know who that guy is?
Copy !req
187. Edwin Alva.
Copy !req
188. Dude's got big bank.
Copy !req
189. Makes Bill Gates
look like he's homeless.
Copy !req
190. What's he doing out here
with the mayor?
Copy !req
191. Not a date, that's for sure.
Copy !req
192. My company would welcome
an investigation. Really.
Copy !req
193. We'll see about that.
Copy !req
194. V, what are you doing?
Copy !req
195. Time to get back to business.
Copy !req
196. York, the mayor's
going to cave.
Copy !req
197. Go to the lab and erase
everything on the hard drives
Copy !req
198. 'about our mutagen formulas
and the shipping records.'
Copy !req
199. 'But don't forget,
when all this blows over.'
Copy !req
200. 'I'll be starting up again.'
Copy !req
201. 'So save everything on disk.'
Copy !req
202. whoosh
Copy !req
203. What?
Copy !req
204. Bet a lot of people
would like to see
Copy !req
205. what's on this disk.
Copy !req
206. You!
Copy !req
207. You're that freak!
Copy !req
208. You say freak. I say unique.
Copy !req
209. The name's Static.
Copy !req
210. I put a shock to your system.
Copy !req
211. - Oh, yeah? Well, so do I.
- Aah!
Copy !req
212. Ah!
Copy !req
213. Ah.
Copy !req
214. Ah!
Copy !req
215. You think you can
keep me in here?
Copy !req
216. Whaa!
Copy !req
217. Uh, scratch that.
Copy !req
218. What else can go wrong?
Copy !req
219. beep
Copy !req
220. I had to ask.
Copy !req
221. Nothing.
Copy !req
222. Ow!
Copy !req
223. Air pressure's
going up in here.
Copy !req
224. Just what I needed.
Copy !req
225. If the gas doesn't kill me,
the pressure will.
Copy !req
226. But what if I added to it?
Copy !req
227. Pour it on, Virg.
Copy !req
228. Pour it on.
Copy !req
229. Yeah. That's it.
Copy !req
230. Aah! Ah!
Copy !req
231. Uhh.
Copy !req
232. Where's a guy get
a recharge around here?
Copy !req
233. - Hey!
- Stop!
Copy !req
234. Excuse me, gentlemen.
Copy !req
235. But I'm outtie.
Copy !req
236. Time for your pills, Francis.
Copy !req
237. Buzz off.
Copy !req
238. Take your medicine!
Copy !req
239. Argh.
Copy !req
240. It's alright here, Rich.
Copy !req
241. Everything the cops need
Copy !req
242. to put Alva on lockdown.
Copy !req
243. Too bad there's no reward.
Copy !req
244. Oh, yes, there is.
Copy !req
245. Once the doctors
see this thing
Copy !req
246. they'll know exactly what
was in that gas I sniffed
Copy !req
247. and I can stop worrying.
Copy !req
248. Or start, as the case may be.
Copy !req
249. Thanks, glass-half-empty man.
Copy !req
250. crashing
Copy !req
251. Oh, what now?
Copy !req
252. It came from the square.
Copy !req
253. Virg, the bus.
Copy !req
254. We'll get the next one.
Come on!
Copy !req
255. - 'What was that?'
- 'Oh, my God! Look.'
Copy !req
256. Hotstreak.
Copy !req
257. Ha!
Copy !req
258. Hey, boys and girls.
Copy !req
259. Come and get 'em.
Copy !req
260. Aah!
Copy !req
261. That's why they call them
hot dogs.
Copy !req
262. Aah!
Copy !req
263. Ha ha ha!
Copy !req
264. You know, next bus should
be here in a couple minutes.
Copy !req
265. Forget the bus!
Copy !req
266. Are you crazy? After what
he did to you last time?
Copy !req
267. Got to.
Copy !req
268. At least wait
for the firemen, then.
Copy !req
269. Can't.
Copy !req
270. Yo, Virgil, don't let your
history with him get in the way.
Copy !req
271. You're not just
Virgil any more.
Copy !req
272. You're Static. Remember that.
Copy !req
273. I'll keep it in mind.
Copy !req
274. How come nobody's eating?
Copy !req
275. Afraid of heartburn?
Copy !req
276. Ha ha ha ha!
Copy !req
277. Maybe it's your lousy cooking.
Copy !req
278. Ah!
Copy !req
279. No!
Copy !req
280. Lose something?
Copy !req
281. Hotstreak.
Copy !req
282. Ah!
Copy !req
283. Uh. Ah.
Copy !req
284. Got you where I want you.
Copy !req
285. In your dreams.
Copy !req
286. No. I've been watching you.
Copy !req
287. Your power only works on metal.
Copy !req
288. And look where we are.
Copy !req
289. No metal, no power.
Copy !req
290. But mine's working
just fine, fool.
Copy !req
291. I brought you here on purpose.
Copy !req
292. I didn't want anyone else
to get hurt.
Copy !req
293. Right. Sure.
Copy !req
294. This is a city.
Copy !req
295. There's metal everywhere.
Copy !req
296. Even if you can't
always see it, fool.
Copy !req
297. Hey.
Copy !req
298. Aah!
Copy !req
299. - You did it!
- Yeah.
Copy !req
300. Lucky that
water main was there.
Copy !req
301. Uh, Virg.
That wasn't a water main.
Copy !req
302. It was a sewer line.
Copy !req
303. I think Static's
work here is done.
Copy !req
304. Ever hear of King Pyrrhus?
Copy !req
305. Mm. Must have missed
history that day.
Copy !req
306. He fought the Romans.
Copy !req
307. Beat 'em bad, but so
many of his own men died
Copy !req
308. he might as well have lost.
Copy !req
309. They call
that a Pyrrhic victory.
Copy !req
310. Oh, Virg.
Don't go thinking that way.
Copy !req
311. You stopped Alva cold.
Copy !req
312. But all the evidence
got burned up.
Copy !req
313. And he's still
walking around free.
Copy !req
314. - Hello?
- 'Virgil?'
Copy !req
315. - 'Dr. Harris.'
- Dr. Harris!
Copy !req
316. Did you.. Is everything..
Copy !req
317. I got your blood tests back
Copy !req
318. and everything's fine.
Copy !req
319. Phew.
Copy !req
320. - 'Except for one thing.'
- What?
Copy !req
321. Your electrolytes.
They're a little high.
Copy !req
322. My, my electrolytes?
Copy !req
323. You know about electrolytes.
Copy !req
324. Uh, no, no. Why would I know
anything about electricity?
Copy !req
325. Electrolytes. They get high when
you eat too much salty food.
Copy !req
326. Fries, pizza.
Copy !req
327. Fries? Pizza?
Copy !req
328. You cut down on that stuff
Copy !req
329. and you'll be perfectly normal.
Copy !req
330. Thank you, doctor.
Thank you.
Copy !req
331. Did you hear that?
I'm okay.
Copy !req
332. I'm normal! Whoo-hoo!
Copy !req
333. Perfectly normal.
Copy !req
334. Yeah. Right.
Copy !req
335. I put a shock to your system.
Copy !req
336. Static Shock!
Copy !req
