Previously on "Static Shock.."
I had high hopes for you, Edwin.
'You've done nothing to
make me proud of you.'
I know you.
You're Edwin Alva's son.
What are you trying to do?
Anything I want,
thanks to this gas.
Give me those things
before you hurt yourself.
I'll give you
a mountain of rubble
when I bring this building
down around you
no matter what it takes.
Aah! Too fast!
Can't control it!
[screaming]
Dad!
Is... he alive?

Season 04 Episode 06
Episode Title:
"No Man's an Island"
- 'Hello?'
- Hey, Frieda, it's Virgil.
- 'Hey, am I on speaker phone?'
- No. Why?
- 'There's a lot of static.'
- Oh, sorry.
So what are you and Daisy
up to tonight?
Just hanging.
Why don't you come by?
Cool. I'll pick up a movie,
something scary.
Actually, I'm giving
Daisy a haircut.
Then we're doing our nails.
Then we're making candles.
- Maybe I'll take a rain check.
- 'Your loss.'
- 'Why don't you call Richie?'
- He's been gone all weekend.
There's gotta be
someone to hang with.
[alarm blaring]
Gotta go, Frieda. I think
I just found a playmate.

♪ Remember this ♪
Whoo-hoo! Now this is
what I call a hot car!
(Static)Coincidentally, this is also
what the police call a hot car.
Static, can't a guy even go
for a joy ride anymore?
Sure. Drop you off
at county lockup?

Who asked you to butt in?
[both grunting]
Aah!
I'm really starting
to lose my temper.
[intense music]
Zap
[groans]
You guys cops?
That was pretty co..
Zap
[groans]
[electricity humming]
[intense music]
Unh!
[groaning]
Aah!
[instrumental music]
You've got ten seconds
to get this thing off of me
or your goose is cooked.
Ah! Hold on, Smokey!
I'm not the one
who put you here.
Not my problem.
Hey, no flames?
[electricity crackling]
Something's
neutralizing our powers.
And I'm guessing
it's those funky lights.
They're some kind of
power dampers.
We need a plan.
[instrumental music]
[engine revving]
You see that truck?
When they move us,
we'll have a chance to escape.
Forget it.
I'm gonna talk to them.
I'm sure they grabbed me
by mistake.
Dream on, sparky.
Seems pretty clear
they want us both.
[knock on door]
Look, there's been a mistake.
I'm Static.
I was trying to catch this guy
when you grabbed me.
He was the one
stealing the car.
I just..
Aah!
- Keep quiet.
- Listen, I'm trying to be nice.
Zap
[groaning]
I didn't say nothing.
[groans]
This is our chance.
You with me or not?
I'm with you.
Get up. Let's move.
[screams]
Zap
- Hey!
- Huh?
I got 'em.
You made me miss!
[zapping]
- Hey!
- Ah!
[groaning]
- Get up!
- Thanks.
Now, get out of my way!
- Yah!
- One down.
Two down. Three!
[groaning]
Man, I'm smokin'!
Great! Now we're gonna have to
walk outta here.
What do you mean we?
Betcha this'll unlock us.
Stupid thing doesn't fit.
It's melted. You fried it
when you hit that guy.
Yeah? We'll see.
This stuff's
some kind of high-tech
stupid somethin' or other.
Can I quote you on that,
professor?
- Ow!
- Nothin'.
The locking
mechanism's electrical.
- Maybe I can short it.
- Ow!
Well, that's not working, either.
Maybe you think that's funny.
Well, yeah.
[electricity crackling]
[explosion]
[both groaning]
[intense music]
(both)
This way!
[groaning]
[both screaming]
Pew pew pew
[explosion]
You see the guards?
'Rubber band Man?'
'Talon?'
'Gear?'
[intense music]
[beeping]
Here they come.
Pew pew pew
They've got Rubber band Man,
Talon, and Gear.
Well, they ain't gettin' me!
Whoa! Wait!
You're starting to be
a real drag.
If you don't like me,
you're gonna hate those guys.
Pew pew pew
Whoa!
[groaning]
You're slowin' me down!
Who's leadin' who,
flame for brains?
- Aah!
- Ow!
[both screaming]
[both groaning]
The trees will
give us some cover.
- How's your shoulder?
- Fine.
- How's your stupid leg?
- Fine.
We'd better get a move on.
'Hey, it's the jet scooter
I shot down.'
- It's busted.
- It'll do.
[electricity crackling]
[whirring]
Get on.
[dramatic music]
Pew pew pew
(Static) 'What the heck
are those things?'
- Wearin' your seat belt?
- Aah!
Swoosh
- You're going the wrong way.
- No, I'm not.
We have to go back
and save Gear and the others.
You want me to
turn down the heat?
You know what to do.
Hey, we're on an island,
remember?
We're surrounded by water.
- What's your point?
- You've got fire powers.
I've got electric powers.
You really want to try to fly
over miles and miles of ocean?
Okay, we sneak back to the base
save the others,
and steal a hovercraft.
Pew pew pew
Have it your way.
[screams]
[explosion]
[groaning]
(Static)
'Look! That's the lead droid.'
(Hot streak)
'That'll keep 'em busy.'
[explosion]
Now you're usin' your head.
Not really.
I just like to blow stuff up.
Ow!
[intense music]
On the count of three.
- Three!
- Ah!
Let's check inside.
On the count of three.
(both)
Three!
Creak
[devices beeping]
[music continues]
This is a hospital.
I don't do hospitals.
Come on.
The coast is clear.
Huh!
Three?
When I was a kid, I was
in a hospital for two years.
I don't do hospitals.
If you don't help me now
this time it'll be
a lot longer than two years.
Okay.
(Man on transmitter) 'We're still searching the
crash site. No sign of 'em yet.'
- Alright. Keep us posted.
- 'We can do what you say.'
Of course, it is dangerous,
but it may work.
I don't pay you to do
things that may work.
I want results.
Do whatever it takes, clear?
Alva.
What you are suggesting
it could be the end
of our three specimens.
They are disposable.
'Just find a cure for my son.'
[intense music]
A transfusion of these
energies will cure him.
These bang babies are filled
with the same power
that froze my son.
We hope,
but if we lose these three...
(Alva)
'More are already on the way.'
Yes. As you say.
Hear that?
We've gotta save 'em!
Oh, yeah? What've they
done for me lately?
How about
what I can do for you?
- Huh?
- 'Like maybe get us free.'
(Static)
'Look, a key.'
Okay, we play it your way.
What's the plan?
We stay very, very quiet.
[intense music]
[beeping]
All subjects
borderline conscious
energy levels stable.
Good.
- Today.
- Hold on.
[electricity crackling]
You see?
Patience is a virtue.
Alright!
It's them!
Nice work, hothead!
Aah!
[groans]
Pew pew pew
Hasta la vista, sparky.
[gunfire]
[siren blaring]
[groans]
He'll be out for a while.
Static has been captured.
The other one is at large.
Start the energy transfer.
[intense music]
[grunting]
[grunting and groaning]
[groaning]
No.
[grunting]
We're in the red.
Still no change.
Full power.
[groaning]
(Static)
'Ah!'
[electricity crackling]
Nothing. Nothing.
[screaming]
[dramatic music]
[electricity crackling]
[groaning]
Zap zap zap
Gear!
Wake up!
Can you hear me?
Hey. What brings you here?
I heard there was gonna be
free ice cream.
Zap
Unlock those two,
and make sure they're okay.
All units to main laboratory.
Surround west perimeter.
Full remote deployment.
'Repeat, all units
to main laboratory.'
I don't suppose those units
are comin' to help us.
[groaning]
You guys ready to fight?
Yeah, I guess so.
Gimme a sec.
I'll bounce back.
[instrumental music]
Guess what?
Your second's up.
Yeah!
[screaming]
Pew pew pew
Fire!
[grunts]
Aah!
Pew pew pew
[screeching]
Pew pew
[screeching]
Zap
pew pew pew
[grunting]
(Gear) 'Gotta reverse
these droid commands.'
pew pew pew
All troops stand down. I repeat,
all troops drop your weapons.
You heard the man.
I thought you were outta here.
And what,
fly a hovercraft myself?
Sports cars are my thing.
Static, you should see this.
[beeping]
(Gear) 'It's Alva's son.
We're losing him.'
- Is there any way to save him?
- I don't know.
- There isn't enough power.
- What if I feed the machine?
- What if I give it my all?
- You sure you wanna risk it?
It could drain you for good.
Let's do it.
[dramatic music]
[grunting]
[grunting]
We still need more.
Please.
It's his only chance.
Fire me up.
If he can take it, so can I.
[grunting]
(male #1)
'It's not working.'
Get out of the way!
Stop! You don't know
what you're doing!
Hey, I'm a genius.
[siren blaring]
[bubbling]
[electricity humming]
[grunting]
What'd I tell ya?
Beep
Father.
Edwin.
[groaning]
I, I guess I owe you
my gratitude.
I didn't do it for you, Alva.
I did it because it was right.
Yeah, you should
try it sometime.
[instrumental music]
So are we pickin' up our fight
where we left off?
Nah. You can take
that car back.
I got me a sweeter ride.
Alva said it was okay.
Hey, it's the least
Alva owes me.
Fair enough.
- Ooh! Dang!
- Ooh!
[plane droning]
Swoosh
(Hot streak)
'Whoo-hoo!'
