06x09 - Chaos as Usual

[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!

Hmmmm...

"To Hacker...from Ann Arky."

Did somebody say...Ann Arky?

Give me that!

"For your deliciously dreadful
contributions to chaos...

you have been
nominated for the Arky."

Yes!

What's an Arky, boss?

No career in chaos is
complete without the Arky Award!

It's given out by a
legend in chaos - Ann Arky.

I can see her now...

And the winner is...The Hacker!

...I won! I won!

Not so fast, Hacker!

Is...is that
really you, Ann Arky?

That's Ms Arky to you!

Now listen closely.

To prove you're
worthy of the Arky,

you must perform one more
act of disorder and confusion!

I can do that.

Then do it!

And make it noteworthy!

How'd she do that?

The Queen of Chaos
comes in many forms.

Now snap to it, we've
got chaos to commit!

But, boss, can't we wait
till the end of the ballgame?

Whoever wins gets to
play in the big game,

for the Slugball Championship.

Those Earthbrats
are playin', too!

They're really good.

Ya know, the winner
of the championship

gets to be Mayor of
Memoryville for the whole day!

Did you say Memoryville?

Where all the data in
cyberspace is stored?

Without which nothing in
cyberspace would work?

That's right, boss.

No data...no memory.

Can we please watch Slugball?

Watch Slugball?

Buzz, my bumbling bot,
we're going to play Slugball!

This is Stats Playback and
it is crunch time, folks!

The Earthly All-Stars lead the
Tikiville Titans seven to six.

The winner of this game
will face the Borg Bunnies

for the Championship.

Remember, because it's
the final inning, the

Titans can only use one batter
- and they only get one out.

But the Earthly All-Stars
can only use one player

to try to catch the ball.

I wonder who it will be?

Okay, Jax...it's up to you.

I know.

You gotta cover the whole field.

I know!

Catch it...and
we're in the finals!

I KNOW!

The crowd erupts as Jackie takes
her position in center field...

And the Titans send
up their best batter.

They need one hit to tie
the game - two to win it.

Here's the pitch...

It's a high drive
to right field.

Jackie's on the run...will
she get there in time?

...YES!

What a catch!

Game over!

The Earthly All-Stars
advance to the Championship Game

against those feisty
little Borg Bunnies!

What's the plan, boss?

Simple.

Win the game!

Then I'll get the key...

...that unlocks
the Memory Bank...

...so I can delete all
the data in Cyberspace...

...and create complete chaos!

The Arky is as good as mine!

I can't wait to play Slugball.

It's always been my dream.

As Mayor of Memoryville, I bid
you welcome to the third annual

Slugball Championship Game!

And now the starting line-ups.

For the Earthly All-Stars...

Inez...Matt...and the MVP
of the last game...Jackie!

The manager of The
Earthly All-Stars is...Digit!

Starting for the Borg Bunnies--

Wait...wait!

It uh...it appears the
Bunnies have some new players.

Cyclops...The Trashinator...
and The Mighty Tonga?

We have to play against...them?

What happened to the Bunnies?

And managing these beefy borgs

...The Hacker?

Hacker?

What are you up to, Hacker?

I'm the new owner
of the Bunnies.

Is that a problem, Mayor?

Well, it's
um...highly irregular.

Irregular?

I'd say it's downright illegal!

I don't see any bunnies!

Let's just say I...shuffled
the line-up a little bit.

A little?

Look at those gorillas!

Excuse me, there's
only one gorilla.

I'm afraid there's
nothing I can do, Digit.

As the owner, Hacker can have
whoever he wants on his team.

Not to worry, Mayor!

We'll b*at 'em like a drum.

I was hoping you'd say that.

Well, let's, um, play ball!

As a reminder, the winner
will have the honor of being

Mayor For The Day and
receive the Key to our City.

All of Memoryville
will be open to you.

I can't wait!

For those of
you new to Slugball,

it's a three inning game.

Each player hits
until the ball is caught.

Any ball not caught counts
one point for the team at bat.

In the first inning,
three players hit -

and three players
play in the field.

In the second inning,
two players hit -

and two play the field.

In the third, one player
hits - and one player patrols

the entire field alone.

The Earthly All-Stars bat first!

Let's play ball!

Matt crunches a
high fly to left...

Tonga trots under it...

...and makes the catch!

One out.

Inez hits one to center...

And Trash gobbles it up!

Two outs.

Jackie crushes
one to deep right!

Cyclops goes back...and back...

And catches it right up against
the fence for out number three!

The All-Stars go out
without scoring a point!

Not a good start.

No problemo, earthlies.

We've got two more
innings to score.

Let's play defense!

Hacker, Hacker, he's a winner!

If I'm wrong
I'll buy you dinner!

Cyclops leads
it off for the, um,

Bunnies in the
bottom of the first.

It's a high drive to right...

Inez races to the line...

...but she can't reach it.

That's one point
for the Bunnies!

Way to go, Inez!

One out!

A leaping catch by Matt
against the wall for an out -

but not before the
Bunnies score two more points!

That ends the first inning!

And what an inning
for the Bunnies!

They lead the All-Stars
six points to zero!

Gee,these guys are a
lot bigger and stronger

than the Tikiville Titans.

Yeah, they're hittin' the
ball everywhere we aren't.

And I have a feeling if
Hacker's team wins this game -

something terrible
is going to happen!

As we begin the second
inning, the All-Stars

trail six to
nothing - what a blowout!

But now each team
has to bench a player.

That leaves two players to
field and two players to hit.

Two outs and the
side is retired.

(BURRRRRRRRRRRRRRP)

Put me in, boss.

I can catch!

Then catch this!

I got it...I got it!

Top of the second, Matt
comes out swingin'!

A fine catch by Trash.

A little messy, but
still out number one!

Alright!

Way to go, Matt!

Good job!

You're up, Jax.

Hit 'em where they ain't!

We tied it!

Yes!

You da girl, Jax!

...Oops.

A spectacular leaping catch by
Tonga to retire the All-Stars!

But not before they put up
six big points to tie the game!

Okay, Earthlies,
to keep the game tied

we gotta catch
everything they hit!

But we only have two fielders!

Which means the two of us
have to cover a lot more ground.

We'd know where to
play if we had some idea

where they were
going to hit the ball!

People always seem to know where
I'm going to hit the ball...

Ooh!

Because I always
hit to center field!

I have a pattern...

Maybe Tonga has a
hitting pattern too.

If we could remember where he
hit the ball in the first inning

- maybe we can figure out
where he'll hit it again.

I don't get it.

Look...in the first inning, we
played here...here...and here.

Anyone remember
where Tonga hit it?

I wish I didn't, but I do.

First he hit one
between left and center.

Then one down
the left field line.

Then I caught one
against the left field fence!

Hey, check it out!

All three balls went
to left field...a pattern!

And because he hit
everything to left last inning,

he just might do
the same this inning!

It's not for sure -
but it's worth a sh*t!

With Tonga coming
up, the All-Stars

are taking a huge risk.

Both Matt and Jackie
have moved to the left side,

leaving right field wide open.

Interesting strategy!

Here's the pitch...

It's a high fly to left...

Matt settles under
it...and makes the catch!

Amazing!

It's as if the
All-Stars knew Tonga

would hit the ball to left.

It worked!

Tonga's hit chart predicted

where he was most
likely to hit it.

And here comes The Trashinator!

Looks like he's filling up fast!

BURRRRRRRRRP!

Oh no, The Trashinator!

We haven't figured out
where he hits the ball!

You're right Jax. Time out!

What?

Oh...

TIME OUT!

What's going on?

Put me in, boss, please?

I wanna play!

Let me explain something to you!

If you play, I won't
win - and if I don't win -

I won't be very happy.

Is that clear?

I could pinch hit...

Okay, guys, where'd Trash
hit the ball last inning?

We gotta find a pattern.

He hit one past me in center.

Then he hit one to right.

Then he hit one
over my head in left.

And I caught his
last one in center.

Okay! What have we got here?

He hit all over the place!

That's no help!

At least there was
a pattern the way Tonga

hit all his to the left.

But there's no pattern to
where Trash hit the ball.

Unless it's the
no-pattern pattern.

The no-pattern pattern?

It means we can't predict
where he'll hit the ball.

So the best you two can do
is to split the whole field

evenly between you and Matt.

Matt here...and you here.

Sounds like a plan to me!

Let's do it!

Motherboard's worried -
her hard-drive's got a rash -

cause nobody ever
- puts out the Trash!

Go, Trash!

Trash steps up to the
plate looking for the hit

to break the tie.

BURRRRRRRP!

The ball drops in and the
Bunnies take a one point lead!

YYYYES!

Sheesh, another point!

The no-pattern
pattern strikes again!

C'mon, guys,
just catch one more!

Another great grab by Jackie,

denying what looked like a
sure point for the Bunnies!

But the Bunnies do hack
their way back into the lead,

seven to six!

Excellent!

This is it,
team, our last chance.

It's one batter
against one fielder -

and we only get one out.

And we need one run to tie - or
it's all over...and Hacker wins!

And that's not good at all.

It's up to you, Jax.

You saved us before -
you can save us again!

For the All-Stars!

Yeah! All right!

For the All-Stars!

Playing the entire field for
the Bunnies is The Trashinator!

It's a high drive to center...

Trash goes back...back...

...he goes down!

A point for the All-Stars!

The score's tied!

Alright, Jax!

We're back in it!

It's a high fly ball to left...

Get it...get it...get
it, you lousy tin can!

Jackie's out...but not before
the All-Stars tied the game.

Going into the bottom of the
third, all the Bunnies need

is one point to win the
Championship, and Hacker becomes

Mayor of Memoryville and
receives the key to the city.

Then I press the
master delete button...

unleash supreme chaos...

and the Arky is mine!

According to Trash's hit
chart, he's still following

the no-pattern
pattern - he's hitting

the ball all over the place.

So where should Jax play to have
the best chance of catching it?

I say you play in center - that
way you can go left or right

depending on where he hits it.

Got it.

I'll do my best, guys!

Trash...you're up!

All we need is one point.

Trash?

I don't think he's up
to swingin' a bat, boss.

But I am!

I'll make the announcement!

Oh boy!

Stats...

it's The Hacker!

Pinch-hitting
for The Trashinator,

and just up from the Tumbleweed
League in Sensible Flats...

...El Slam-bin-o!

El Slambino?

Yoikes!

We don't have a hit
chart for El Slambino!

Jackie won't know where to play.

We gotta figure this out quick!

Time out!

Time out the Earthly All-Stars!

I'll Gwiggle El Slambino.

Search Tumbleweed
League...El Slambino.

Bingo.

Footage of his last game.

Chalk it, Didge!

He hit a sh*t to right.

A long one to left.

A liner to right.

One off the right field wall.

Those earthbrats will never
be able to stop El Slambino!

Right, Buzz?

Right, boss.

Looks like El Slambino hits more
to right than anywhere else.

And if what he did in
the past tells us anything

about the future - there's a
good chance he'll hit the ball

to right again!

Which means Jackie should play
in the middle of right field.

Got it!

For some reason, Jackie
is moving to right field...

leaving left and
center wide open!

Time out is over...and
Bunnies only need one point

to win the game!

Slambino swings...
a drive to right!

It's high...it's long...it's...

...dropped by Jackie!

Game over! Game over!

The Bunnies win
the Championship!

Hacker is Mayor for a day!

I love it!

Congratulations, Hacker.

It's my pleasure...not really...

to present you with
the key to Memoryville.

Thank you!

I deserve it!

Sorry, guys.

The hit chart
worked but I blew it.

My fault we lost.

No way, Jax.

We win as a team -
we lose as a team.

Right!

We made it all the way
to the finals, didn't we?

Yeah, sure...but I
don't like to see Hacker

leaving with that key.

No telling what
he'll do with it...

Or is there?

Hacker's got a pattern too.

He always goes
for maximum trouble!

Jackie, everyone wants to
know about the ball you dropped.

Did the sun get in your eyes?

I've got a question
for you, Stats!

Is there any door
that shouldn't be opened

with the key to the city?

The one door that should
not be opened is the door

to the Memory Bank!

The Memory Bank!

Inside is the button
that will unleash supreme chaos

and win me the
Arky - a dream come true.

You mean, a
dream like me playin'

in the Slugball Championship?

Precisely!

Buzz, guard the door
and don't let anyone in.

Delete, you come with me!

Excellent.

Ah yes!

Boss, wait!

How's Ann Arky gonna know you're
the one who pushed the button?

Good point.

Take my picture!

Buzz!

Is The Hacker in there?

Yep.

We have to stop him!

It's locked.

We can't let him
delete all the data!

Hey, boss...

Someone out here to see you.

Who is it?

It's a surprise!

Ann Arky!

She must be giving
me the award early!

C'mon!

Ms. Arky?

Where is she?

Surpriiiise...!

What are you
earthbrats doing here?

Hey, Deedee...can I see that?

This?

I'll take that!

Matty!

Gotcha!

Give me that key!

...Inez! Catch!

...Jackie!

Got it!

Thank you very much, young lady.

Strike three, Hacker!

You're out as Mayor!

I'm back in charge!

Oh no...

That was your
best catch yet, kid.

Want to tell your fans about it?

It's not about me, Stats.

We're a team.

We're the CyberSquad!

Let's go home, guys.

...It's from Ann Arky.

What's it say, boss?

"Due to your utter failure
to create the necessary chaos,

you are no longer
eligible for the Arky."

No!

My life-long dream has
been dashed to smithereens.

But, boss, you still have us.

Yeah, we like you...sort of.

Stay right where you are,
it's Cyberchase For Real!

Popcorn!

Peanuts, Soda!

Get your peanuts!

This is the greatest job.

Not only am I making money, I
get to see my favorite team -

the New York Mets!

Peanuts!

Peanuts!

Thank you.

Sure, thank you.

I took this job because I really
want to catch a foul ball.

I'm gonna go down there.

I think my chances
might be better.

Popcorn!

Hey kid, give me that ball
and I'll buy you a soda.

Are you kidding?

This is the best souvenir ever.

Peanuts!

Sorry!

It's on me.

Hey popcorn, popcorn!

Why do you look so sad?

We're having a great season.

Oh, I'm real happy about that,
only I had my heart set on

catching a foul ball, but
I'm always on the wrong side

of the stadium.

Come with me.

Let me show you something.

You know what a batting
average is, right?

It's the number of times a
player gets a hit compared to

the number of times he gets up.

Exactly!

And you can make a prediction
with that number, but baseball

has lots of data, not
just batting averages.

For instance, Carlos Beltran is
a switch-hitter, which means...

He bats lefty and righty.

Very good.

And we have his batting average
when he hits lefty and righty.

And we know how many times he's
gone to hit when the bases were

loaded, how often he stole to
second base, how many singles,

doubles, and triples he has
gotten off of every pitcher in

the National League and we have
that kind of information for

every player.

Why do you need all that data?

It helps you plan what you
should do during the game.

With this data you can
make a good guess about

what may happen.

But how can all that data
help me catch a foul ball?

Well by keeping records we know
that a right-handed batter will

probably hit a foul ball
down the first base side

and a left-handed batter
will probably hit a ball

down the third base side.

How can you be so sure?

It's not a guarantee, but it's
a good guess, and here's the

batting line up for tonight
- maybe it can help you out.

Sweet! Thanks!

First two batters up are
righties so I'll try to be by

the first base line and then
over here for the next two who

are lefties, then back again for
the last part of the line up.

Popcorn!

Peanuts, Soda!

Get your peanuts!

Yeah, alright!

I'm not calling that foul.
