Season 2, episode 5. He's part of the gang that goes after Samuel Fields and tars him. He criticizes the plan to go after Commissioner Jarry, successfully.
Aquatic Nazi Zombies should be all it takes to sell this film honestly, but there's more:
A group of mismatched tourists, including a perpetually bikini-clad Brooke Adams and a bargain bucket James Caan, are enjoying a boat trip. The old sea dog captain of the vessel is played by none other than John Carradine, who gives a grand performance, shitting all over his crewmatesβ ramblings about ghost ships and what have you. But guess what? After an unexpected solar incident suddenly bathes the footage in a orange filter usually reserved for Hollywood films set in Mexico, their navigational system is corrupted and their small boat happens to collide with a goddamn ghost ship. What are the chances?
The gang are forced to seek shelter on a nearby island that at first appears to be deserted. But of course the island is not completely uninhabited, for in this case, battle-scarred exiled SS Commander Peter Cushing has made this haunting retreat his forever home. He delivers a revelatory monologue that would sound ridiculous coming from anyone else, but itβs our boy Peter, so I buy it wholesale. You see, he gravely informs the shipwrecked crew that he led a team of enhanced super-soldier Nazis during the Second World War. They proved too difficult to handle and so when the war was lost, he scuttled their vessel and became an island hermit, living his own little Third Reich Animal Crossing dreams. The zombie soldiers surface from the ocean hell-bent on drowning anything that lives and breathes, and the stranded party must find a way to fight back and escape.
I have to say I love the design of the zombies in Shock Waves. Not only do you get the scarred skin and SS uniforms that are par for the course with Nazi zombies, but the added additions of their perpetual drowned-rat appearing Aryan hairdos and their rather unique goggles really seal the deal. Every time they slowly emerge or submerge into the water is darkly delightful; a piece of imagery the writer-director Ken Wiederhorn knew was effective, as he repeated it over and over throughout. Even putting aside the villains rather unique design, the nature of these zombies and their violence is also separated from the norm of the time. Gore hounds will be disappointed to find a distinct lack of blood. There are no victims being torn in two here, and the zombies are not dispatched via explosive headshots. Once you accept this fact, you can see that this take on the subgenre is actually quite refreshing.

TIL Samurai Jack was created by Genndy Tartakovsk. Cartoon Network executive Mike Lazzo recalled Tartakovsky pitching him the series: "He said, 'Hey, remember David Carradine in Kung Fu? Wasn't that cool?' and I was like, 'Yeah, that's really cool.' That was literally the pitch." (en.wikipedia.org)
