Episode Title:
"You Now See Him"

Hi, Daisy.

Here to visit
your necklace again?

Yeah.
I'm still saving up.

Hang in there.
You'll make it.

Not if I keep
buying CDs every payday.

Ohh!

What?

Nothing. I, um...

Better
get back to work.

Hi, Elmore.
Sharp jacket.

Thanks.
My dad gave it to me

for my birth... hey!

Are you all right?

Yeah. It felt like
I walked into something, and...

Hey, my jacket!

But you were
just wearing it.

I mean, how...

Ohh!
Hey! Stop!

Ohh!

Uhh!

I don't know, honey.
It's really expensive.

Yeah, but look
at that picture.

What picture?

Both: Oh!

Huh?

- Aah!
- Oh!

Looks like we're closing in
on a ghost.

What does a ghost need
with an mp3 player?

Well, for one thing,
CDs are too bulky.

Whoa!

I'm coming.

Hey!

Whoa! Whoa!

Uhh!
Uhh!

That was
embarrassing.

Uhh.

I won't tell anybody
if you won't.

[Car horn honks]

Richie!

Hey, not so loud.

Genius at work.

My sister scored
2 free tickets

to the B2K
Concert tomorrow,

but she can't go.

Oh, bad break.

Not really.

She gave them to me.

We're going?
Oh, that's outstanding!

After all, who's a bigger
B2K fan than me?

Well, actually Daisy is.

Oh, that's true.

Have you seen that shrine to them
in her room?

She...
Wait a minute.

You aren't saying...

Sorry, bro.

Daisy would never
speak to me again

if she found out
I had tickets

and didn't ask her.

We cool?

That's cool.

Here, check this out.

I've been analyzing
super high definition

digital video
of our fight.

You video taped us?

Well, backpack did.

I thought we could start looking
at our game films,

like
football teams do.

Or, you know, burn DVDs of our
greatest adventures

for all our fans.

Uh-huh.
What have you got?

Richie: See, there's the box
that ended up on my head.

Now, watch
the next few frames.

There's definitely
something there.

Or should
I say someone?

Virgil:
I can't make him out.

Can you clean it up?

This is cleaned up.

Our ghost is someone who
moves at super speed.

♪ When you know me,
get to know me ♪

♪ Girl, you say you want ♪

♪ You want to know me ♪

♪ Baby, first you see me,
then you don't ♪

♪ You want to know me,
baby, first you see me... ♪

Eddie?

- Daisy.
- Ohh!

What's wrong?

Sorry, Virgil.

I thought
you were Eddie.

Who?

You know, weird Eddie
from Science Camp?

Oh, yeah.

The nerd that
all the other nerds

used to pick on.

Thanks a lot.

No, Virgil.
I mean, it's no joke.

In fact...

It's seriously weird.

Daisy: And I keep
running into him all the time.

I think he's
been following me.

For what?

I think he likes me.

I haven't seen him
since last summer,

and all of a sudden
I run into him,

like, 10 times.

- 11.
- Eddie: Daisy.

Fancy seeing
you again.

Yeah, fancy that.

Remember me?
Virgil?

Yes, the vinegar
and baking soda bomber.

[Chuckles] That stuff pretty much
washed out, didn't it?

So how do you
like my new jacket?

I just picked it up
the other day.

It looks... Nice.

Yeah. I'm on spring break
from college.

I graduated
high school early

'cause, you know,
I'm a genius.

We know, man.
We were there.

Ok, so I got this
great internship,

and I'm making
a lot of money.

I thought if you weren't doing
anything tomorrow,

you might
like to go...

She can't.
You can't.

I mean, remember?
Tickets to B2K tomorrow?

You and me?

Oh, yes. Yeah!
I almost forgot.

B2k, huh?
Lucky you.

Tell me you weren't
just saying that

to get rid
of Creepzilla.

No, for real.

Oh, Virgil!
You're the best!

Ah, stupid,
stupid, stupid.

I should have thought
of those tickets.

But I know something
she'll like even more.

Hey! So, how
did operation b2k go?

Great. Virgil Hawkins
is a bigger hero

than static right now.

Uh-oh. Backpack's
picking up an alarm.

It's back at the mall.

[Ringing]

[Crowd shouting]

We've been robbed!

[Crowd shouting]

Aah!

[Man panting]

Bet you
it's speed boy.

Let's find out.

[Crackling]

Now there's only one way
out of here.

No way he can
get past both of us.

Sure, I could,

but I'd rather have
a little fun first.

Sounds good.

How about
a nice game of catch?

[Beeps]

[Snaps fingers]

Uhh! Uhh! Ohh!

Speed warp's the name,
and you are?

Uhh! All tied up
at the moment.

On the other hand,

I've got nothing
but free time.

SPEED WARP:
Over here, Sparles.

You couldn't hit me
in a thousand years.

You can't dodge 'em
all, speed bum.

[Whistling]

[Snaps fingers]

Virgil: Whoa!

Uhh.

Static?

Where is he?

Run from this.

Uhh!

[Car alarm ringing]

[Horn beeps]

Uhh! Uhh! Uhh!

Thanks.

You think I got him?

I think I got you.

Hey!

Static!

Static?

Where are you?

[In slow motion]
Static?

Echoing...
Gear? What did you do to him? Hey!

Nothing.
I did something to you.

I've attached
a temporal zone around you.

I've accelerated you
into my special world.

Welcome to hyper time.

So now I'm just
as fast as you?

Thanks for the tip.

Things here
are only as fast

as I say they are.

I'll still find
a way to beat you.

You can't even touch me.

But I can touch you.

Case in point:

Richie Foley.

Hmm, well,
I bet that makes you

Virgil Hawkins.
Correct?

Echoing... Correct?

Never heard of him.

Sure.

Don't mess
with me, Virgil.

I know
where you live.

What do you want?

Simple:
Butt out!

Static?
Aah. Ohh.

We've got a problem.

Don't worry,
S-man.

We can
take this guy.

Uh-huh.

Why don't you
put this back on?

Aah!

You took the words
right out of my mouth.

♪ See you all the time ♪

♪ I see your face
in my mind ♪

♪ I just want you
to notice me ♪

Echoing...
♪ Me, me, me, me ♪

♪ Girl, light up my day ♪

♪ Hope that
that might be someday ♪

look up and notice me ♪

[Telephone rings]

[Toilet flushes]

[Ring]

Machine:
Leave a message.

Eddie,
This is DR. McDonald.

I'm looking
at a security tape

of you stealing
the time gauntlet.

Call me on my cell phone
within the hour

or I'm going
to the police.

Please, Eddie.

I don't want you
to get into trouble.

Do the right thing.

I always did
the right thing before.

What did it get me?

Where is it?! Aah!

"No tape."
[Groans]

"Airport. 10 A.M."

[Whistling]

I believe you
have something for me.

What in heaven's name...

Albert?

[Gasps]

Albert!

What do we do?

If we catch him,
he'll tell everyone our secret.

And if we don't,
he'll keep hurting people.

Not much of a choice.

The air show
in town?

I don't think so.

Come on!

That's not good.

Can you do something
about the cockpit?

Door?

[Whimpering]

I don't suppose you have
a pair of scissors?

No.

Please, I don't know
how to fly this.

Not to worry.
I've logged over 200 hours in an F-15.

You have?

Well, on my game station
flight simulator.

That never happens!
[Groans]

Hang in there.

I'm going out to keep it
from happening again.

[Strains]

[Communicator buzzes]

What?!

Gear: I'm going to try
to land on Woodward Avenue.

There are cars
down there!

I know.
This thing got a horn?

[Car engine
sputters and stalls]

[Starter won't start]

[Gasps]

How'd I do?

Isn't that
your dad's car?

[Gasps]

Ha! Got ya.

It's a time manipulator.

They've been
working on it for years.

And your intern
ran off with it?

Yes. Eddie Felson.

- Weird Eddie?
- Weird Eddie?

Not good.

No, no. Not good.

Eddie Felson,
this is the police!

You're surrounded.

Come out
with your hands up!

Do it.

Stupid cops.

You want your stuff back?
Be my guest.

There's only one thing here
I wanna keep.

How're we doing?

Dr. McDonald's notes
really helped.

Combined
with your powers,

this belt should
accelerate you enough

to fight speed warp
on his own terms.

Maybe I should
test it out.

Don't!

It's a one-shot.

- Don't waste it.
- Ok.

And don't let speed warp
touch it, either.

If 2 accelerated
time streams were to cross,

I don't know
what would happen.

Got it.

Ooh. I gotta
go meet Daisy.

Shouldn't we be
trying to find Eddie?

I'm pretty sure
he's gonna find us.

[Crowd cheering]

Can you believe
we're here?

Oh! This is the most exciting
night of my life.

Let's hope it doesn't
get too exciting.

Announcer: The Dakota Arena
is proud to present on our stage

Platinum
Recording Artists B2K!

♪ Yeah, yo ♪

♪ Check it out,
it's B2K, uh, what? ♪

♪ Platinum status, uh ♪

♪ She's
a pretty young thing ♪

♪ Uh, uh,
a pretty young thing ♪

Now for
the show stopper.

Virgil, what?

What's going on?

Hello, Daisy!

Fancy meeting you here.

Who are you?
What have you done?!

It's me. Eddie.

I made it so we can have some
time to ourselves.

I... I don't understand.

You were so nice to me.

You were the only one
at Science Camp

who was
ever nice to me.

Eddie, that
doesn't mean...

With my powers,
I can give you anything you want.

Anything.

I just want you to make everything
normal again.

Please?

No! In that world,
I'm nobody.

In this world,
I rule.

No!

[Gasps]

Daisy?

Daisy's disappeared.

I'm gonna
turn this thing on.

Careful. It'd take me a long time
to make another one.

Believe me,
I only wanna do this once.

Guess it works.

[Panting]

Aah!

Leave me alone!

Aah!

Aah!

Gear, help me!
He's right behind me!

No! Will somebody
help me, please?!

You rang?

I don't know
how you got here,

but it's not
gonna do you any good.

You're
very fast now,

but I'm faster.

Whoa!

See what I mean?

Aah!

No!

Wow! Oof!

Ungh!

[Groans]

Good save.
I'm getting tired of this.

So I'll just take
your crude little belt,

and that'll
be the end of it.

No, you can't!

Yes, I can.
And I will.

Aah!

You're back!
What happened?

It's still
happening. Look!

[In slow motion]
Got... To... Get...

Away.

He grabbed the belt.

Is he frozen?

No. I think he's blinking.

He's gone completely
out of sync with our time.

He's trapped
in his own warp.

What do we do?

I don't think there's
anything we can do

except call the cops.

Well, they won't
have to hurry.

By the time he gets
to the end of the block,

it'll be Christmas.

Daisy,
where were you?

I looked everywhere.

I ran
into Eddie Felson.

What? What happened?
Are you ok?

Yeah.
