00:58Oh, my God.
01:28Yeah, here's the last of that shipment of salvage wire from North Africa.
01:49City got a pretty good deal.
01:51Yeah, Barney over in City Maintenance said they're already fixing stuff.
01:54You know, power lines, the works.
01:56About time.
01:57Can you imagine what this town would be like if the power ever crashed?
02:01Not pretty, I can tell you that.
02:03Later, Chris.
02:20Someone took the signal box apart, all right.
02:22But how'd they punch holes through it from the inside?
02:25City Maintenance Crews upgraded the wiring in this one yesterday.
02:28Looks like they'll have to do it again.
02:29What was that?
02:42How did you do that?
02:52Training.
02:57It's all right.
02:58It's all right.
02:58Over this way.
02:59Trade line.
03:00It's okay.
03:01That's okay.
03:02This man needs help.
03:03We've got you now.
03:07It's going to be okay.
03:11In your opinion, this reporter sees a train that's jumped an overpass.
03:17And this reporter sees chaos and despair all around him.
03:21Gerald Prattle here, on the site of New Detroit's own Chattanooga Boo Boo.
03:25How does it feel to survive a train wreck?
03:27And does this experience scare you away from mass transit?
03:30You.
03:32You're Gerald Prattle.
03:34My wife and I watch you all the time.
03:37Why, thank you.
03:38She thinks you're a god.
03:43She's right.
03:44Mr. Prattle, I must ask you not to interfere with our rescue efforts.
03:48Would you tell our viewers, when did you first notice something was wrong?
03:55Uh, when the train went off the tracks.
03:59Hey, you're Gerald Prattle.
04:01Oh, look at me.
04:03Oh, I'm going to faint.
04:05Louie, look.
04:06It's Gerald Prattle.
04:08I tell everyone that unless we hear it from you, it didn't happen.
04:13Words to live by.
04:14As everyone knows, I'm Gerald Prattle, bringing you everything you need to know.
04:18in our special report, When Trains Go Bad.
04:22More tonight during our regular broadcast.
04:23Until then, goodbye and good luck.
04:34People adore him.
04:36Look how he controls them.
04:39You interfered with a duly authorized rescue operation.
04:44Oh, cowboy, you interfered with a live televised broadcast.
04:47His power, his greatness.
04:51That's what I want.
04:53I'm going to have to talk to your superior about that.
04:56He's Sergeant Reed, Metro West.
05:00He'll be happy to discuss this with you.
05:03We'll tell him now.
05:05Sergeant Reed just paged us.
05:06How's my hair?
05:11Is my hair okay?
05:22It's like the whole city is going crazy.
05:25All the power grids, all the city service grids, everything's out of control.
05:29Would someone please explain to me how every system in this city has gone haywire in less
05:34than 24 hours?
05:36The emergency light is flashing on the east end floodgate system.
05:40Oh, great.
05:41If those gates blow, we'll have a flood on our hands.
05:44The closest control panel is at the corner of Ray and Harrison.
05:48Let's go.
05:48We should be at the junction by now.
06:01I will check the power command relays.
06:05Whoa!
06:06What's happening with those wires?
06:14Live wire?
06:15Does that remind you of anyone?
06:17The ERG!
06:19Dark's own electrical super agent, but he was destroyed!
06:22Perhaps not.
06:26The repair logs on the accident sites may be helpful.
06:30The wiring at all the accident sites has been replaced for normal maintenance within the
06:34last two months.
06:35Let me guess where the city purchased the replacement wire.
06:39All the wire came from E&J Salvage.
06:41Their source was a small operation in North Africa.
06:44This could really be happening.
06:46The ERG could really be back.
06:50This is Gerald Prattle reporting live from underneath the streets of New Detroit.
06:54What are you doing here?
06:56This reporter has been monitoring police frequencies in hopes of uncovering the truth about our fair
07:01city's current crisis.
07:03Tell us what you've discovered so far in your investigations.
07:08No.
07:12Another accident?
07:13One of the floodgates has failed.
07:27We're trapped!
07:29We're trapped!
07:30Duck, Mr. Prattle.
07:31And that's the way it is.
07:56Gerald Prattle taking risk, saving lives, and bringing you the facts.
08:00This is New Detroit's highest-rated reporter.
08:03Goodbye, and good luck.
08:07I am so good.
08:12Citizens of New Detroit, I bid you greetings.
08:17I am the ERG, a perfect melding of energy and intelligence.
08:24I now control all electrical systems in your city.
08:30Unless my demands are met within four hours, I will destroy you all.
08:36Roll tape, roll tape, roll tape, this could be the biggest story of the year!
08:41I long to experience the world in a more human form.
08:47I require a human body to inhabit.
08:50I have chosen your most perfect specimen, brilliant, revered.
08:58I will destroy New Detroit unless you bring me Gerald Prattle.
09:05Back in one minute, 10th floor.
09:16Welcome back, citizens.
09:18You have four hours to bring Gerald Prattle to power generating plant 9-1-7-6.
09:30As a demonstration of my power, I will stop all electricity for one hour.
09:37I demand police protection.
09:41Do your job.
09:42Oh, I hate to interfere with the press.
09:46Besides, without any power, I can't go for backup.
09:53Gerald Prattle, you've just been ordered to sacrifice yourself in order to save a city.
09:58What are you going to do now?
10:01Thanks for the show of support, Vaughn.
10:03Gerald, don't you get it?
10:05This could be your ticket out of this town and straight to the network.
10:09What I wouldn't give to trade places with you.
10:13This could be my big break.
10:16You leave this to us.
10:18You're going straight to the Metro West Police Department.
10:21Protective custody.
10:23Got it?
10:25Come on, we got news to make.
10:31Mmm, network.
10:35You head through the back while I enter through the front.
10:47You sure we can't just give him Prattle?
10:49It is a temptation.
10:49This can't be happening.
11:06So much for the element of surprise.
11:08What are your plans?
11:09Are you going to give Prattle up?
11:10Is negotiation enough?
11:11Are you going to attack it?
11:11If so, how?
11:12Is this Erd?
11:13Where is Gerald Prattle?
11:21Let's discuss this.
11:23We don't want to hurt you.
11:25I have no such reservations about hurting you.
11:31Mino!
11:31I have unfinished business with the two of you.
11:43Come and get her, Robo Flop.
11:46You two should have stayed out of my way.
12:08You are threatening innocent citizens.
12:11If you'd given me what I wanted, no one would have been hurt.
12:27You cannot harm a human being for your own selfish desires.
12:31Oh, but I can.
12:33This machine will transfer my persona into Prattle's body.
12:39I'll be human.
12:41To taste, to touch, to smell, to see as a human.
12:47But thanks to you, Prattle isn't here.
12:51Stop this now, Erg.
12:52I warn you, don't tangle with me.
12:56No!
12:56No!
13:03This is Gerald Prattle bringing you live coverage of the Erg Urgency.
13:11Countdown to Catastrophe.
13:14I don't believe this.
13:19Ow!
13:21My chiropractor will not be happy with you.
13:24Yes, exactly as I'd hoped.
13:27Let Mr. Prattle go!
13:29My fellow citizens, a new star is about to be born.
13:36But first.
13:49Wait.
13:51Hey.
13:52Stop already.
13:53Hey.
13:54Stop already.
13:59I'm free.
14:21I'm free.
14:22What just happened here?
14:30Oh, no!
14:32This isn't what I had in mind, but I like it.
14:43We'll be right back after these messages.
14:47And now, back to the show, citizens.
14:50I'm human.
15:00This is wonderful.
15:05Such new sensations.
15:08This body is so, so alive.
15:11Murphy, I'm in here.
15:14It's me, Miner.
15:16Switch her back.
15:18Never.
15:19Clue gun.
15:33It's amazing what these bodies can do for a being that can utilize their full potential.
15:39How come I can't make me do that?
15:41What's wrong?
15:49Is my wire shell too complex for your little organic brain to control?
15:57Could you tell our viewers what it's like to have your body switched with an erg?
16:02Stop!
16:02Time to see what this baby can do.
16:10Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha.
16:13I can't do anything that might harm your body.
16:24You got that right.
16:25But if she was... I mean, if he... I mean...
16:28My body gets away? We can't let it!
16:31I can seal the complex. It may be able to move quickly, but it can't get out of the building.
16:43Do you think there's a future in body switching?
16:55Hey! What are you doing?
17:13What about my story?
17:28Miner, come here.
17:29We've got to warn him.
17:31Done.
17:38What are you doing?
17:40It's like the way that Urg's learning to use my human body.
17:43I'm learning how to use this one.
17:46Part of my wiring understands this transformation machine.
17:50Help me back down to the fight. I'm getting my body back.
17:53If this is about moving equipment, you need to go through the proper unions.
17:56Do it!
18:01You think by sealing me in here you can stop me?
18:09This is too easy, even in a human body.
18:23Hey!
18:24Not so hard.
18:25I'm back!
18:50I have such a headache.
18:56If you're in your own body, then the Urg has returned to...
19:01Do you know what you have done?
19:05Cable arm.
19:32Golf ball launcher.
19:34Cable arm.
19:34Reverse polarity.
19:51No, I won't let it end like this.
19:55I'll be back.
19:59Nothing can stop me.

20:19Give us 30 seconds and we'll give you the world.
20:23Ever since this reporter's fateful encounter with the Erg seven days ago, I have endeavored
20:29to spend the better part of each newscast allowing you to live the terror that I lived.
20:35And while the Erg's electromagnetic field jammed my hovercam signal preventing you from seeing
20:40my heroic battle, take my word for it, ladies and gentlemen.
20:44When it comes to our valiant law enforcement officers, this reporter's admiration is second
20:49to none.
20:50Goodbye and good luck.
20:51Thanks to the Erg, Gerald Prattle gets a hefty raise and his own talk show.
20:58I keep flipping coupons and eating spaghetti.
21:01What's wrong with this picture?
21:02Ah, Minor, you should have sold your story rights like Prattle did.
21:05But perhaps if the Erg comes back...
21:08Uh, no, thank you.
21:10Don't move, citizen.
21:29And now, back to the show.
21:31Next, your favorite trio of inseparable siblings is coming at you with more zany adventures.
21:38Thrive Yakko, Wacko, and their adorable sister Dot are ready to wreak loads of havoc on Kids
