1. 'Flashback. The infamous
Dakota gang riots'
Copy !req
2. 'that began with a freak power
blackout on a hot summer night.'
Copy !req
3. 'Then, roving gangs
turned violent'
Copy !req
4. 'on the outskirts of our city.'
Copy !req
5. 'It was Dakota's darkest hour.'
Copy !req
6. 'But there were
some rays of light.'
Copy !req
7. 'Rescue workers who raced into
danger to save innocent lives.'
Copy !req
8. Today, on the five-year
anniversary of the riots
Copy !req
9. We're here to celebrate
those heroes.
Copy !req
10. 'With the unveiling
of a monument'
Copy !req
11. 'dedicated to their bravery.'
Copy !req
12. One of the tragedies
that occurred that night
Copy !req
13. was the death of emergency
rescue doctor Jean Hawkins
Copy !req
14. victim of a stray gunshot.
Copy !req
15. Joining us for this very special
ceremony is Jean's family.
Copy !req
16. Her husband Robert and her
children Sharon and Virgil.
Copy !req
17. Uh, I just wanna thank the city
Copy !req
18. for this special
memorial tribute.
Copy !req
19. By honoring Jean
and her colleagues
Copy !req
20. you also honor her belief
that the noblest act
Copy !req
21. anyone can perform is to help
another person in need.
Copy !req
22. Well said, Mr. Hawkins.
This is Shelly Sandoval.
Copy !req
23. Reporting for
Dakota Action News.
Copy !req
24. Don't know who that
handsome guy was on the TV
Copy !req
25. but they ought to give him
his own series.
Copy !req
26. Are you sure I was okay?
Copy !req
27. You did good, pops.
Copy !req
28. - Where you goin'?
- Um, I gotta do my homework.
Copy !req
29. Homework? You? This early?
Copy !req
30. Dad, call Shelly Sandoval back.
Copy !req
31. We've got
a new headline for her.
Copy !req
32. "Hawkins boy discovers
long lost brain."
Copy !req
33. Step off, Sharon. Not today!
Copy !req
34. Huh. What's up with him?
Copy !req
35. Let him be, Sharon.
Copy !req
36. Sometimes I think Virgil
Copy !req
37. still can't handle
your mother's death.
Copy !req
38. He was so young.
Copy !req
39. - I miss her, too, daddy.
- Hmm. So do I.
Copy !req
40. We had more time with her
than Virgil did.
Copy !req
41. He hardly had any time at all.
Copy !req
42. swoosh
Copy !req
43. Yo, Static.
Copy !req
44. You wouldn't happen to know
what time it is, would ya?
Copy !req
45. Oh. Hey, Richie.
Copy !req
46. I saw that tribute
to your mom on TV. Pretty cool.
Copy !req
47. - Yeah. I guess.
- You okay?
Copy !req
48. Just thinkin' about her.
Copy !req
49. - You miss her, huh?
- It's worse than that, Rich.
Copy !req
50. I think I'm starting
to forget who she was.
Copy !req
51. It's like, it's been so long,
I'm losin' my memory of her.
Copy !req
52. - Seriously?
- Seriously.
Copy !req
53. And I don't know
what I can do once it's gone.
Copy !req
54. I mean, it's not like
I can ever—
Copy !req
55. - No place to run, Nina.
- Aah!
Copy !req
56. Let me go!
Copy !req
57. - No, not you!
- Who were you expecting?
Copy !req
58. Britney spears?
Copy !req
59. - Come on!
- Aah.
Copy !req
60. - Ugh! Gear!
- The one and only.
Copy !req
61. - And you are?
- Nina. Nina Crocker.
Copy !req
62. Pleased to meet you.
Copy !req
63. Gotcha, skate boy.
Time to pick up the garbage.
Copy !req
64. You know what they say.
Copy !req
65. One man's trash
is another man's treasure.
Copy !req
66. - You two okay?
- Sure.
Copy !req
67. But we don't smell so great.
Copy !req
68. What you need is a quick shower.
Copy !req
69. Right back to where
we started, Nina.
Copy !req
70. Uh-oh. She's a Bang Baby.
Copy !req
71. Yeah, and it looks like
she needs our help.
Copy !req
72. You okay?
Copy !req
73. Hey!
Copy !req
74. Why is everything
moving the wrong way?
Copy !req
75. Whoa. Check that out!
Time is moving backwards!
Copy !req
76. Either that or we're moving
backwards through time.
Copy !req
77. What did you do?
Copy !req
78. I, I keep going
back and forth in time.
Copy !req
79. I can't control it!
Copy !req
80. Uh, Static, recognize anyone?
Copy !req
81. 'W-what?'
Copy !req
82. 'That's us exactly
ten minutes ago'
Copy !req
83. 'before all this started!'
Copy !req
84. But if this really
is ten minutes ago
Copy !req
85. then Ebon will be
chasing her again
Copy !req
86. and we'll be coming down here
to rescue her!
Copy !req
87. And I don't think
we should all meet, do you?
Copy !req
88. No way. Come on!
We gotta get outta here.
Copy !req
89. 'So there I was. Taking
a bike ride past the docks'
Copy !req
90. 'when the Big Bang happened.'
Copy !req
91. At first, I didn't think
it did anything to me.
Copy !req
92. Then, a month ago,
this time slipping started.
Copy !req
93. How did Ebon get on your tail?
Copy !req
94. I was trying to find you two.
Copy !req
95. Ebon found me first.
Copy !req
96. He wants to use my power
to dodge the police.
Copy !req
97. - You were lookin' for us?
- Yeah.
Copy !req
98. The way you guys use your powers
to do good for people?
Copy !req
99. That's what I want. I don't want
to be a thief like Ebon.
Copy !req
100. Amazing, your energy waves
distort the space-time continuum
Copy !req
101. and move you through
it exponentially.
Copy !req
102. Uh, you wanna keep
that in English?
Copy !req
103. She can rewind herself through
time like a tape through a VCR!
Copy !req
104. Whoa! If we could make something
to channel the energy
Copy !req
105. and quantize time-space
into measurable units
Copy !req
106. something that..
Copy !req
107. - Is he okay?
- He's havin' a brain blast.
Copy !req
108. I wouldn't stand too close
if I were you.
Copy !req
109. Yes!
Copy !req
110. What's he doing?
Copy !req
111. He's figuring out something
Copy !req
112. he can build to help you.
Copy !req
113. No way. Do you think
he really can?
Copy !req
114. He fixed our toaster.
Copy !req
115. - 'Yo, Static, you there?'
- I'm here. What up, G?
Copy !req
116. 'Get your tail over the park.
I got a surprise for ya.'
Copy !req
117. Now, where are you off to
in such a hurry?
Copy !req
118. Nina, what's with the costume?
You gonna fight some ninjas?
Copy !req
119. It's part of the surprise.
Copy !req
120. She's not just Nina anymore.
Now, you can call her Timezone.
Copy !req
121. - Timezone?
- Yep.
Copy !req
122. Now, she's a real
Bang Baby superhero.
Copy !req
123. Thanks to this.
Copy !req
124. A VCR remote control?
Copy !req
125. Well, it was, until I turned it
into a space-time demodulator.
Copy !req
126. - A space a-what?
- Watch. First, I'll hit rewind.
Copy !req
127. Here goes.
Copy !req
128. Uh-oh. Here we go again.
Copy !req
129. Right, but this time,
we can control it.
Copy !req
130. 'Watch!'
Copy !req
131. beep
Copy !req
132. swoosh
Copy !req
133. And the best part is,
it still works on my VCR. Ha ha.
Copy !req
134. Yo, is Timezone
the bomb or what?
Copy !req
135. Uh-huh. Definitely the bomb.
Copy !req
136. - Thanks.
- Uh, you're welcome.
Copy !req
137. Rich, can we go back in time
and stop a crime from happening?
Copy !req
138. Well, theoretically,
it's possible.
Copy !req
139. Then what if we go back
exactly five years
Copy !req
140. to the night
of the Dakota gang riots
Copy !req
141. and prevent it from ever
getting out of hand?
Copy !req
142. Whoa, whoa. What? Are you nuts?
Copy !req
143. - Why not?
- Look.
Copy !req
144. If we mess with time too much
Copy !req
145. we could change something
that affects the future.
Copy !req
146. We might make it so that
we don't exist anymore.
Copy !req
147. Please! We gotta try it.
For Dakota.
Copy !req
148. And for the people who lost
their lives that night.
Copy !req
149. Oh. Right.
Copy !req
150. Hey, doesn't my opinion
count for anything?
Copy !req
151. - Uh, sure. Of course, it does.
- Then I say we go.
Copy !req
152. I told you, I wanna do
good things with my powers
Copy !req
153. and this sounds
as good as it gets.
Copy !req
154. A'ight, you win.
But we have to be careful.
Copy !req
155. This could be really dangerous.
Copy !req
156. Thanks, man.
Copy !req
157. Setting for exactly
five years ago.
Copy !req
158. - What!
- Hey!
Copy !req
159. Looks like my waitin' paid off.
Copy !req
160. - Give that back!
- No, Static, don't!
Copy !req
161. Electricity throws
its CPU into fits.
Copy !req
162. It's gonna overheat.
Copy !req
163. This is it! The night
the riot went down.
Copy !req
164. Gear! Timezone!
Copy !req
165. Wow. What a ride.
Copy !req
166. - Where are Ebon and Timezone?
- I don't know.
Copy !req
167. If he gets control
of her powers
Copy !req
168. these riots are gonna be
the least of Dakota's problems.
Copy !req
169. You're right. Okay,
I'll search high, you stay low.
Copy !req
170. One of us has to get lucky.
Copy !req
171. He'll be alright.
I'm gonna check for others.
Copy !req
172. Mom?
Copy !req
173. 'Mom.'
Copy !req
174. - Aah.
- Mom!
Copy !req
175. Don't worry. I got you.
Copy !req
176. Who are you?
How can you do this?
Copy !req
177. They call me Static.
Copy !req
178. But you know me by another name.
Copy !req
179. I know you?
Copy !req
180. It's me, ma. It's Virgil.
Copy !req
181. Mom? Are you okay?
Copy !req
182. This is quite a story
you've told me.
Copy !req
183. The future, the Big Bang.
Copy !req
184. - It's a lot to take in.
- I know.
Copy !req
185. I mean, I just tucked my
little Virgil into bed tonight
Copy !req
186. and now, here you are,
a handsome young man?
Copy !req
187. Yeah, well, Sharon didn't
turn out too badly, either.
Copy !req
188. You know, in an ugly
big sister kind of way.
Copy !req
189. I don't understand all of it
Copy !req
190. but if you are my son
Copy !req
191. I'm so proud of
what you're doing.
Copy !req
192. Imagine, my boy a superhero.
Copy !req
193. Thanks, ma.
But you are the real hero.
Copy !req
194. - I've got to get back to work.
- Th-th-that's just it.
Copy !req
195. I want you to stay
up here tonight, out of danger.
Copy !req
196. - Leave everything to me.
- What's wrong?
Copy !req
197. Just stay here,
and you'll be okay.
Copy !req
198. Nothing's gonna
happen to you... this time.
Copy !req
199. This time? Virgil, is there
something you're not telling me?
Copy !req
200. It's just that, in my time
Copy !req
201. you got hurt tonight.
Copy !req
202. And I don't want
that to happen again.
Copy !req
203. I see.
Copy !req
204. So stay up here
tonight, okay? Please.
Copy !req
205. But, Virgil, people
are hurting down there.
Copy !req
206. I just can't hide,
no matter what the risk.
Copy !req
207. Besides, you've already
saved my life just now.
Copy !req
208. That might have
changed everything.
Copy !req
209. 'Static, come in? Do you
copy me? I found Timezone.'
Copy !req
210. I copy you, Rich. Where are you?
Copy !req
211. You're not gonna believe this.
I'm outside Alva Industries.
Copy !req
212. 'Alva Industries?'
Copy !req
213. Yeah, the labs where
they made the Big Bang gas.
Copy !req
214. Backpack picked up
Timezone's energy trail.
Copy !req
215. What? Aah!
Copy !req
216. It's Ebon,
and he's got Timezone!
Copy !req
217. He just stole a tanker truck
from the labs!
Copy !req
218. If it's got the gas..
Copy !req
219. He can stage his own Big Bang.
Copy !req
220. One that he can control.
Copy !req
221. He's heading straight
for the riots!
Copy !req
222. I'm on it, Rich.
Copy !req
223. Mom, I have to go. Promise me
that you'll stay up here.
Copy !req
224. - Virgil, I can't.
- Please, mom, you gotta.
Copy !req
225. Okay.
Copy !req
226. Don't worry.
I'll take care of myself.
Copy !req
227. - Goodbye, son.
- Bye, mom.
Copy !req
228. - I'll see you soon, huh?
- Virgil, I'm always with you.
Copy !req
229. 'Jean, come in.'
Copy !req
230. - 'Are you alright?'
- I'm fine.
Copy !req
231. 'We have injured kids
on the corner of 54th.'
Copy !req
232. 'We need you right away.
Jean, can you hear me?'
Copy !req
233. Might as well enjoy the ride.
Copy !req
234. You get a front row seat
to history.
Copy !req
235. You're not spoiling
my fun this time.
Copy !req
236. Aah! Unh.
Copy !req
237. Get ready for a new
Bigger Bang, Static.
Copy !req
238. With 100 times more
metahumans to join me.
Copy !req
239. Gear! I got my hands full here!
Copy !req
240. I'm on it.
Copy !req
241. crash
Copy !req
242. zap
Copy !req
243. A gas station.
Copy !req
244. Well, now I know
why it went out of business.
Copy !req
245. That truck will blow up if we
don't get it away from the fire.
Copy !req
246. - Where's the remote?
- Ebon's got it.
Copy !req
247. 'Static, you've gotta
get the remote from Ebon.'
Copy !req
248. No... problem.
Copy !req
249. Oh, man. It's losing energy.
We gotta work fast.
Copy !req
250. No!
Copy !req
251. What's happening?
Copy !req
252. We've to get the truck
outta here
Copy !req
253. before it blows!
Copy !req
254. No! Mom! We can't leave yet!
Copy !req
255. I can't stop it, Static.
Copy !req
256. The return cycle
is already activated.
Copy !req
257. We're out of time.
Copy !req
258. No!
Copy !req
259. What happened to the.. Oh.
Copy !req
260. We gotta call the hazmat team
to come and get that thing.
Copy !req
261. - Gear! We gotta go back!
- It's way too damaged.
Copy !req
262. We couldn't go back
more than two or three years.
Copy !req
263. - But my mom..
- Maybe she's okay.
Copy !req
264. Maybe you did enough.
Copy !req
265. You were right, Gear.
Copy !req
266. This time travel power
really is dangerous.
Copy !req
267. Too dangerous
to ever mess with again.
Copy !req
268. Whoa, what are you doin'?
Copy !req
269. I'm going back two
years to the Big Bang
Copy !req
270. to prevent myself
from ever having this power.
Copy !req
271. No, wait! Huh.
Copy !req
272. Mom? Mom? Are you home?
Copy !req
273. Ma!
Copy !req
274. Oh, mom. Nothing's changed.
Copy !req
275. Why couldn't you have
just stayed off the streets?
Copy !req
276. It wasn't like your mother
to hide from danger, Virgil.
Copy !req
277. She was dedicated to her work
and to helping people.
Copy !req
278. Nothing would stop
her from doing that.
Copy !req
279. And she had
a stubborn streak, too.
Copy !req
280. Just like her kids.
Copy !req
281. You got that right.
Copy !req
282. You know, the co-workers
on the scene that night
Copy !req
283. say that all she
kept talkin' about
Copy !req
284. was how proud of you she was.
Copy !req
285. She kept calling
you her superhero.
Copy !req
286. I don't know why.
Copy !req
287. But if she could've
seen how you have grown
Copy !req
288. I swear she'd be
even more proud.
Copy !req
289. I... hope you can take
some comfort in that, son.
Copy !req
290. I do, pops.
Copy !req
291. I really do.
Copy !req
292. I'm sorry about your mom, V.
Copy !req
293. Hey, if it weren't for you
Copy !req
294. I'd have never had
the chance to see her again.
Copy !req
295. And this time,
I'll never forget her.
Copy !req
296. Hey, look who's here.
Copy !req
297. - 'I'm open, I'm open.'
- Come on.
Copy !req
298. 'Over here. Over here.'
Copy !req
299. You sure she doesn't remember?
Copy !req
300. I went to see her as Gear,
and she acted like we never met.
Copy !req
301. 'A couple of days ago, she was
one of the most powerful'
Copy !req
302. 'metahumans on earth.'
Copy !req
303. 'Now, she's just a kid
without a care in the world.'
Copy !req
304. How'd she pull it off?
Copy !req
305. I mean, gettin' rid of
her power and all?
Copy !req
306. Remember when Nina said she was
Copy !req
307. taking a bike ride past the dock
Copy !req
308. when she got hit
by the Big Bang gas?
Copy !req
309. - Yeah.
- I think she went back in time.
Copy !req
310. To the Big Bang,
and stole her own bike
Copy !req
311. so she couldn't take that ride.
Copy !req
312. Then what happened
to the Nina we knew?
Copy !req
313. - You know, Timezone?
- Gone. She never existed.
Copy !req
314. But we know she existed.
Copy !req
315. She was here.
We saw her, we helped her.
Copy !req
316. Bro, if you think about
these things too much
Copy !req
317. your head will explode.
Copy !req
