06x04 - Escape From Merlin's Maze

[bunniefuu]

Okay, there's this really
bad dude named Hacker --

HACKER: The Hacker, to you!

Whatever.
He wants to take over

the Cyberworld
from Motherboard.

[ GASP ]
The three kids
are sucked into Cyberspace,

and they use brain power
to help save everybody.

JACKIE:
Okay, here's the plan.

So they travel
all over and run into all these

weird creatures...and have all
of these awesome adventures.

It's totally up to them
to save Cyberspace.

Can three cool kids and a wacky
bird outsmart the Hacker?

HACKER: Never!
MATT: There's only one way
to find out!

Tune in
to "Cyberchase"!

Cyberchase - we're moving

we're b*ating Hacker at his game

Don't tell me that he's
trying to hack the Motherboard

we'll get him every time

...places that we've seen

We've got the power
of one two three four

Running in the Cyberchase

We meet him face to face

We'll stick
together all the time

Adventures in cyberspace

The chase is on!

C-y-b-e-r-chase!

At last my moment of
triumph has arrived!

The one and only time
in every one hundred eons

that Control Central

is in exact alignment
with all the cybersites!

The one and only time
that Motherboard is totally

and completely defenseless!

Prepare to release
the Cloud of Engulfment!

Will do, boss!

You're a genius!

Indeed!

The key to being
a genius is timing!

Yes, timing...

is...everything!

Oh, no!

The boss needs a recharge!

I'll tell you what
the problem is!

Just when I'm in the middle
of doing something dastardly,

I run out of juice!

The trouble is, your
metatransformer is leaking fluid

into the zappozitometer, causing
the gigadaptor to overload.

Exactly what I thought.

Now fix it!

This rustbucket?

No way, pal.

You need to dump this recharger
chair and get the latest model.

The Recliner Rechargitron . .

It's sleek, it's
gorgeous, it's...

four thousand snelfus?

That's outrageous!

Can't you just
update the old one?

I'm a mechanic...not a magician.

Can't just wave a magic
wand over it, you know.

Wand?

Did you say magic wand?

I appreciate you staying here at
Frogsnorts to help me tidy up,

Shari.

No problem,
Professor Stumblesnore.

I hope it won't be
too lonely for you

with all the other young
sorcerers gone on Spring Break.

Not at all.

Digit and his earth
friends are coming to visit.

Matthew is going to teach
me some tricks with a yo-yo.

Yo-yo tricks?

How delightful.

Matthew?

Hmmmmm...

And so we're done!

I'll be in my
office if you need me.

...What's this?

"Meet me at the end of Merlin's
Maze right away. Matthew."

...How sweet.

And such a surprise!

I mustn't keep him waiting!

Weeeee...

Coming, Matthewwwww...

How ever did Matthew find
his way through this maze?

He really is clever...

...Matthew?

I'm here!

...Is that you?

Yes...it's me!

Hacker!

Where's Matthew?

Oh, yes, Matthew.

I'm glad you liked the note.

The heart was a nice
touch, don't you think?

You wrote that note?

Sorry, no time to chat.

Places to go, havoc to
wreak...that sort of thing.

I'm afraid you'll have
to stay here for a while.

Can't have you ruining
my brilliant plan, can I?

Ta-ta!

Let me out...let me out!

Wait!

I'm a sorcerer-in-training...

I'll simply use
my magic wand and...

Oh, no!

I left my wand in my room!

Help!

...Got it!

"Sleeping Powder."

You sure this is
gonna work, Buzzy?

Maybe we oughta
test it to be sure.

You be Stumblesnore.

Okay.

...Ready?

Ready!

It's time do some magic spells.

See, Deedee?

I told ya it would work!

Uh-oh.

He's sound asleep!

Yikes!

It's Stumblesnore!

Stumblesnore's snorin!

Wake up, Dee Dee!

Wake up!

Oh, Professor?

The boss!

Perfect!

He's sleeping like a baby.

I can't believe it!

Those two duncebuckets
actually did something right!

You don't mind if I
take your wand do you?

I've got big plans for it.

Sweet dreams, Professor!

Deedee...wake up!

Hey Shari - we're here!

Shari?

She's not here.

Hey, a note!

"Meet me at the end of
Merlin's Maze right away.

Matthew? !"

Signed with a heart?

Hey, I didn't write this.

I would never sign
my name 'Matthew.'

And I definitely
wouldn't draw a heart.

Then who wrote it?

And why?

It says, "Meet me
at Merlin's Maze."

Maybe that's where
Shari is...c'mon!

Uh....where's Merlin's Maze?

Tell ya what.
Lemme "gwiggle" it.

Just punch in
"Merlin's Maze" and...

Here we go!

Directions to the maze and
a map to guide us through it!

As soon as all the
magic flows from the wand...

thru the Coils of Enchantment...

...and into glorious
and gorgeous me,

there'll be no more
running out of juice!

Even better, I'll have
unlimited magical powers!

Ooooh I can feel the
magic in me already!

We've reached Merlin's Maze!

It says go past
Merlin...and enter the maze.

Follow me!

Um...I hope these gargoyles

aren't like the ones we
ran into in Castleblanca...

Just think about Shari,
not gargoyles, Didge.

OK...turn
right to Gnome's Gate.

Got it!

...OW!

DIDGE!

Didge, you okay?

Oh, yeah, I'll be fine.

That's weird.

According to the map,
this doorway should be open.

Tell that to my beak!

Guys, I need some help!

Matthew? Is that you?

I'm trapped at the
end of the maze!

HELLLLLLLP...!

Shari! We're coming!

C'mon, let's move this thing!

It's too heavy,
we can't lift it!

We're sunk!

Matthew!

Hacker's here!

He's the one who trapped me!

Hacker must have
written that fake note.

But why?

Don't worry!

We'll get you out!

Get Professor Stumblesnore!

He'll help!

Didge, you get the Professor.

We'll keep trying
to move this stone!

I'm on it!

What we need is a tow truck.

Or a whole lot more people.

Wait!

On the farm, when my dad has to
lift something really heavy...

he jams a board under
it and pries it up.

...Great, all we
need is a board.

What about this?

Shove it under the slab!

Okay!

Now push down!

Well, that didn't work.

I forgot.

We need a rock or
something under the board,

so when we push
down on this end,

the other end will lift
up and tip over the slab.

Maybe we can use this!

Hey guys - I think
we just made a lever!

Lever?

Yeah, board plus
fulcrum - that's the part

the board tilts
on - equals lever.

Huh.

I never knew what
that was called!

Okay, guys, push
down as hard as you can.

One...two...three...PUSH!

This didn't work, either!

What if we stand on it?

Maybe our weight
will be enough force

to push it down and
tip over the slab!

We're moving!

So is the slab!

Yeah, but not enough!

Hey!

When I move closer to the
end - the board drops more!

Move this way!

All the way to the end works!

We went down
and the slab went up!

All we needed was a
lever with a fulcrum!

We're comin', Shari!

Yeah!

All right!

Professor?

YOIKES!

Wake up, Professor,
we need your magic!

Professor!

Huh? What's this?

Sleeping powder...no wonder!

Hmmm...maybe there's another
potion here that'll wake him up.

This guy looks awake!

Rise and shine, Professor!

YOIKES!

What happened?

No wonder!

Sorry, Professor.

Gee, I don't speak "mouse"...

Buzz and Delete!

The Hacker can't
be too far away!

Sorry for the
inconvenience, Professor,

but we got a job to do!

Turn left at Bewitched Bend...

Go through the next doorway...

Yiikes!

We're blocked again!

And with three
slabs instead of one!

No way these are moving!

Hey, the lever worked
before - maybe it'll work here.

Let's get it!

Yes, oh yes!

Let the magic flow!

Hmmm, how shall I use
my magic powers first?

Hi Boss!

Where have you two
duncebuckets been?

And why are you carrying Delete?

Well...he uh...he's sleeping.

WHAAT?

I'm about to take over
cyberspace...and he's sleeping!

Put him down!

Whatever you say, boss.

Now look what you've done!

Uh..sorry, boss.

I'll get it.

You're about as useful as
a couple of pine cones!

Uh!

The magic is working!

I don't even need a wand!

Hi, Buzzy!

Deedee...you're awake!

Don't just wobble there - do
something, you two duncebuckets!

Hey!

We're us again!

Thanks, boss!

Thanks a heap!

Just fix the
machine so I can drain

every last drop of
magic from that wand!

The slabs aren't moving!

Try bouncing.

Nothing!

Move all the way to the
end like we did last time.

Excuse me, we're
already at the end.

Then we need more end!

Ha-ha.

More end - that's it!

We need a longer lever!

Definitely longer.

Give me a hand.

Let's try it!

Close - but it's
still not working!

We've just got to
think of something!

Oops...!

Guess you were
thinking too hard!

Oh man!

C'mon guys...what do we know?

The longer the lever, the
more lifting power we have.

So all we have to do
is find a longer lever!

Yeah, but how long?

Trying different
lengths could take forever!

Matt! Inez! Jackie! Come in!

Didge!

What's up?

Hacker's draining the magic
from the Professor's wand

into his own body.

We gotta stop him!

Okay, but we need Shari's help!

We'll be there as
soon as we get her!

I can't wait that long.

I need a Plan A.

You'll need more that!

How about a Plan B?

Matt, do you have more yo-yo's?

Yeah...but why?

I made this model
to help me think.

And I need more yo-yo's.

See? Lever...fulcrum...
slabs...and... this is us!

If we can figure out how
things work with this model,

maybe we can find a rule
to use with our other lever!

Since different lengths
lift different weights,

we can find the length we need.

Cool!

Worth a try!

I want to see how long the lever
needs to be to lift two yo-yo's,

then three, so we can
compare the lengths.

That should tell us
what we need to know.

Great idea!

Here...

It's not lifting the two
yo-yo's. We need a longer lever.

Got it!

Yes!

Long enough for a
two yo-yo lift off.

Hey, check this out!

If you measure from the fulcrum
to where we push down...

the lever that lifted the two
yo-yos is twice as long as the

lever that lifted one yo-yo!

So maybe a lever three times as
long - will lift three yo-yos?

This one's three times as long!

Let's try it.

Cool!

Twice the length
lifts twice the weight!

And three times the length
lifts three times the weight.

And since we need to lift
three slabs instead of one...

we need a
lever three times as long

as the one we
used the first time.

Let's find one!

Okay!

Climb aboard, guys!

Please work...please work!

It worked!

Three times as long lifted
three times the weight!

Quick!

We've gotta get Shari
out and stop Hacker.

In a matter of minutes,
all the magic will be mine!

And you, you little cyberturkey,

will not thwart
my plan this time!

I'm not a thwarter.

I was just here to have
lunch with the Professor.

Can I go now?

Not until I've drained every
last drop of the wand's magic.

What do we do with
the bird, boss?

What do you do with any bird?

Cage 'im!

The end of the Maze is on the
other side of Enchanter's Arch.

Oh no!

Enchanter's Arch
is blocked, too!

Shari?

Are you there?

Matthew!

We have to stop Hacker!

We know!

We'll get you out in a sec!

...Guys, you think a lever
will work on six slabs?

Why not?

We know the how it works.

There's a pattern...three
times the length lifted

three times the weight, so...

...six times the length should
lift six times the weight!

....four...five...six!

Six times as long
as the first one.

Perfect!

Man, that is one long lever!

I got our fulcrum!

Now set the lever on top.

Shari - Stand back
from the doorway!

OK, Matthew!

C'mon, guys...all aboard!

Go all the way to the end, Matt.

OK, I'm there, Jax!

The slabs are moving!

It worked!

Jackie...Inez...Matthew,
I can't thank you enough!

Um...you're welcome...

Shari, Hacker's got
the Professor's wand

and he's taking all
the magic from it.

Hurry!

We'll get my wand!

...That's it!

I'm done!

I'm fully loaded with magic!

Watch out, cyberspace...you're
about to come under my spell!

Whoopsey!

I better be careful.

You better give up, you mean!

Easy, earthlies!

The Hacker's got
magic up his sleeve...

And you cyberbrats are
just in time to see it

work up close and personal!

I don't think so, Hacker!

Shari Spotter?

But how...they
couldn't possibly have...

But they did.

And now I'm going to
put a stop to your plans.

YAAAAH!

Is that all you can
do, Shari Spotter?

No, I can and will
impede your dastardly plans!

Oh, zip it!

You yammering youngster!

Watch this...

A tree?

Have you taken leaf
of your senses...?

WHAT!

STOP!

NOOO!

Oh Hacker! Zip it!

Bravo, Shari...bravo!

Really, Matthew.

And now to reverse the
flow of magic from you back

into the Professor's wand!

That's done! Digit!

MMMMM...!

But wherever can
Professor Stumblesnore be?

Did Hacker do something to him?

Uh...I almost forgot.

Professor?

Oh my!

Much better.

Thank you, my dear.

Shall we go?

MMM MMMMM MMM MM MMMMMM!

MMMMM!
