bad dude named hacker --

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

Buzz:
I think the mummy finally
nodded off!

Delete:
let's get that eye thingie!

Hacker:
silence!

Got it! (Laughter)

The eye of rom is mine!

Run for it, boss!

Hacker:
ah! Ooooooh! Ah!

What? What!

Can't you see I'm taking
a cat nap!

Ok, ok.

But this better be good.

Catnip!

Hacker has the eye of rom!

Cue the boulder!

All:
ahhhhhhh!

Whoooaaaa!

Whoooaaaa!

Binky:
no! They've escaped!

Do you realize what this means?
Every afternoon at five,

The shadow of the pyramid lines
up with the mouth of the nile!

And if the eye of rom isn't
back in its shrine by then...

Don't ask!

What am I going to do?!

Digit:
if only we had that encryptor
chip back,

Motherboard would be
her old self again!

(Ring)

Whoa!

Hello?

Binky here, with an inter
cybersite call for help.

Yeah, well, digit here.

Motherboard's having
a check-up.

She can't help anybody
right now.

Well, hacker ripped off
the eye of rom

And I need it back, presto!

Deal with it, binky.
I've got my own troubles.

Now you listen here,

If I don't get the eye of rom

Back in place by five
this afternoon,

My pyramid will collapse
into a pile of desert sand!

I need some help
and I need it now!

About the only thing that would
make me jump,

Is if you told me you had
the encryptor chip!

What if I said
I knew where it was?

You're pullin' my wings!

Digit... Friend.

Tell you what, you help me
get what I want,

I'll help you
get what you want.

What do you say, pal?

Hmmm, binky's as slippery
as a case of hacker wig gel!

But if it means making
motherboard better,

Maybe it's worth a sh*t!
You've got a deal!

Where are those guys?

Kids:
ahhh!

Inez:
hi, didge!

Digit:
let's move it, earthlies.

If we can get the eye of rom
back from hacker,

Binky says she'll lead us
to the encryptor chip!

Maybe this time
we'll really get it!

Looks like binky beefed up
the security-

Since we were here last.

Digit:
it won't budge!

Binky:
listen up, out there!

To unlock the door,

Turn the heads on either side
upside down

And the middle one sideways.

Matt:
check.

She said turn the heads
on either side upside down.

Then the middle head sideways.

Inez:
smooth. Manageable.

And efficient. Let's go!

Jackie:
I remember the way
from last time!

Binky's chamber is down
that hall!

Binky:
not so fast, tomb raiders!

We just had a robbery here!

Shut the door
and lock it back up!

Matt:
lock it up? How?

Binky:
just put it back the way you
found it,

Whatever you did, just undo it!

Undo what we did?

Binky:
exactly!

Do an inverse operation.

I gotta run, mumsie's making
like he's waking up.

Digit:
what's a reverse operation?

Inez:
inverse, didge.
It's like the opposite.

If I step forward...
To do the inverse, I step back.

Digit:
I still don't get it.

Matt:
I think I do. Look.

Here's my backpack.
The top flap is loose, right?

So now I fasten it.

Then to put it back the way it
was, I undo what I just did.

Like this!

That's beautiful!

I've been inversing my entire
life and never even knew it!

Matt:
okay!

We turned the middle head
sideways to open the door.

So to do the inverse,

We just turn it right side up
to close it!

Jackie:
let's try.

Inez:
and since we turned these guys
upside down,

We just turn them back the way
they were!

Matt:
inverse operation complete!
Let's find binky!

I've always known that I give
new meaning to the term,

Chiseled chunk of chickanery.

But now, with this beautatious
bauble,

I'll be unstoppable!

That's great, boss.

But what's so special
about an eye of tom?

It's rom, you duncebucket -
not tom!

This artifact
will give me the power

To wreak havoc upon
this site

And get rid of that aggravating
kitty cat in one fell swoop!

Better yet, a demonstration!
Ha ha.

Oh, mighty eye of rom!

Conjure me a monster
of monumental magnitude!

(Evil laughter)

Ribit.

What? A giant frog?

I don't want a frog!

Oh, mighty eye of rom...

By the power of the ancient
scribes, reach into...

Yaaaa! Oof.

That's it!

Just get rid
of the stupid frog, okay?

Digit:
hey, binks!

Binky:
shhhh! If he finds out hacker
nabbed the eye of rom

He'll turn me into a walking
fur ball!

All:
whoa!

Jackie:
what's going on?!

Binky:
trouble, that's what! Meow!

Hacker's figured out
how to use the magic!

All:
whoa!

Higher! Higher!

Wait a second!

This may sound weird, but
egyptian worms are ticklish!

Got it.

For motherboard!

Buzz:
I don't believe it, deedee!
The worm's crackin' up.

Yeah, he's cute, huh?

Somethin' tells me

The boss ain't gonna be happy
about this.

Hacker:
don't just stand there -
do something!

Why do I always have to do
things myself?!

Oh! Mighty eye of rom,
send me another worm,

Preferably,
one that's not ticklish!

Nooooo!

One eye of rom, coming up!

Yoikes!

Hacker:
what?

Digit:
you lose, hacker!

This is just not my day!

Binky:
old mumsie will never know
it was gone.

Jackie:
glad we could help, binky.

Now it's time to turn over
the encryptor chip.

The chip?
Oh, right, the chip.

Digit:
hm! Listen here, you fibbing
feline - we made a deal,

The eye for the chip!
Where is it?

All right, all right, choo!

Don't get your feathers
in an uproar.

I overheard someone
at camels'r'us

Mention that the chip
was inside here.

Matt:
a sphinx!

Inez:
cool! How do we get there?

Binky:
the catmobile!
I modeled it after myself.

Matt:
whoa! Totally awesome!

Binky:
it's even got a global
positioning system.

A global... What?

Binky:
this little gem right here.

No need for directions--

It'll guide you right
to the sphinx.

All you have to do is steer!

Jackie:
but how do we find our way
back?

Binky:
easy! Just push this button...
And the gps will undo the trip.

Matt:
sounds great, binky.
But when we get to the sphinx,

How do we find the chip?

Binky:
the instructions are right
here. Any questions?

Digit:
nope! But we'll just hang
onto this till we get back!

Binky:
what? You don't trust me?

All right! Encryptor chip -
here we come!

Buzz:
hey, where are they goin',
boss?

Delete:
yeah, what are they doin'?

We'll know soon enough!

Gps:
sandmaze ahead. Go green!

Digit:
who said that?

It's the gps telling you
where to go.

Gps:
go yellow!

Matt:
the yellow corridor!
Step on it, didge!

Gps:
red.

Ha! Got it!

Gps:
green. Red. Green.

According to this,

We have to go through
the sun sign first--

Only how do we get up there?

Got me. Whoa!

Way to go, didge!

Crown, sun. This way.

So far, so good.

According to the instructions,
we stay on the sun path.

C'mon!

Inez:
whoa! Check out
the hieroglyphics!

Jackie:
sorry inez,
no time to read them.

The tablet says go with
the crown next!

Matt:
we can't go any further.

The chip's gotta be in here!

Inez:
there it is!

The encryptor chip!

Matt:
we finally found it!

Mother b, you're as good
as cured!

Matt:
ok, we came in sun, sun, crown.

Let's get out of here
the same way!

Uh, don't we have to undo
what we just did?

Inez:
you're right, didge.
We've got to do an inverse.

Do what we did last, first.

Jackie:
so now we go - crown, sun, sun.

All:
let's go!

Jackie:
look out! Bad guy coming!

Matt:
hey!

Delete:
hahahaha!

Uh-uh-yeowww!

Inez:
hacker has the encryptor chip!

Oh, man... We had it!
We could've cured motherboad!

And look what that clown did
to the gps!

Gps:
go right-right-sideways--

Left over the-corner-watch
stop sign...

Jackie:
it's busted, all right.

And no gps
means no a*t*matic inverse!

How are we going to get
through that maze?

We're sunk!

Inez:
maybe not.

We got out of the sphinx by
undoing how we got in, right?

But we had a map.

Inez:
look. If we can just rememer

The order of the turns
we made...

Then we can inverse the order,

To take us back to where
we started!

Let's make a list.

Green was the first and
the last choice we made.

But what came in between?

Well, I remember that the
second path we took was yellow.

Then the gps said,
'turn onto red.'

Matt:
and then it said 'go green.'

Now we're getting somewhere.

But I'm pretty sure there was
one more turn

Before the final green path.
Hmm, but what?

All:
red!

Okay! This is how we got here.

Green, yellow, red, green, red,
green!

Now, to go back through
the maze,

We just reverse the order.

We start with what we did last.

We go green, red, green, red,
yellow, and green!

Hop in, earthlings...
We've got some undoing to do!

Jackie:
operation inverse works again!

Binky:
let me get this straight.

You got the encryptor chip,
then hacker stole it,

Then delete wrecked the gps?

(Chuckles) how very amusing.

I'll take my eye back now,
thank you.

Digit:
hey!

Matt:
not so fast, binky!

I need to put it back

Before the pyramid's shadow
hits the nile!

Digit:
no sweat, binks.
You've still got an hour.

And what if mumsie wakes up?

He'll see that the eye
is missing and then--

Don't worry, we'll give it back
in plenty of time.

But we have something
of our own, to get back first.

Jackie:
are you thinking
what we're thinking?

Ladies and gentlemen,
boys and girls...

It's time to conjure
another monster!

Hacker:
ah, yes. Now that the encryptor
chip is mine,

That clanking collection
of circuitry called motherboard

Will never get better! Never!

Delete:
uh - boss?

Boss!

Hacker:
you dare to presume that
the mighty hacker

Would be intimidated
by the likes of you!

Put me down!

Down, I say!

Watch the chin!
Watch the chinnn!

Jackie:
here's the plan, hacker.

We'll give you back
to buzz and delete -

In exchange
for the encryptor chip.

What?

A genius for a mere piece
of electronics?

Buzz and delete are getting
the best of that bargain!

We'll see if they agree
with you.

Buzz:
hello?

Binky here.

We've got your boss -

But you can have him back if
you give us the encryptor chip.

Hacker for the encryptor chip?
Hey, whaddya think, deedee?

Delete:
I don't know.

Make the deal, now!

Whooooa!

Inez:
okay, so we're agreed.

On the count of three
we'll release hacker.

And we'll hand over the chip.

Digit:
everybody ready?
Ok! One--

Hacker:
nooo!

Why, thank you, delete!

Woo hoo!

We've got the eye of rom,
the chip and hacker!

Does this mean I get to torment
him a while longer?

Matt:
sorry binky, a deal's a deal.

Fine.

Hacker:
thank you, binky.
And so I take my leave.

But first, a little something
for my travels!

Oh, my!

Did I break your
sentimental trinket?

So sorry!

Delete:
we're really sorry!

Binky:
oh, no! Mumsie is waking!

Matt:
and the shadow is almost
in line with the nile!

Jackie:
the pyramid's going to go!

All:
whoa!

Binky:
ah, no! Wrong!

Wrong again! Meow!

Matt:
I think we can help you get
the eye of rom back in order.

Really? Can you? Would you?

Inez:
sure! We just take all
the pieces that came apart

And put them back together,
last to first.

But we need to know the order
the pieces broke off in,

So we can reverse it!

Binky:
that's easy!
I video my room at all times

For security, of course!

Matt:
great! But show it in slow-mo
so we can track the order.

Jackie:
the first piece to break off
is green!

Matt:
then red!

Inez:
then yellow!

Which leaves blue.
Yoikes! Whoa!

Binky:
hurry it up!

I've only got nine lives,
you know!

Matt:
we start with the blue piece
because it fell off last.

Jackie:
then we reattach the yellow.

The next to last piece to break
was the red

So that comes next.

Digit:
and last the green
because it was the first to go.

And voila!

One eye of rom!

Binky:
meow! Drat! I forgot about
the new three step lock.

Hmm...

Digit:
let's go, binky, let's go!
Aah!

Matt:
hurry, binky!

Binky:
well, to unlock the glass,
you pull this lever,

Then untie the knot,
then push the other lever...

So to lock it up -
do the inverse!

Binky:
okay, okay.

Pull the last lever...
Then tie the knot...

Then push the first lever!

Inez:
it worked!

Jackie:
all right! Good job, guys!

Mumsie:
binky? Is that you?

I had the most awful dream...
And it seemed so real.

Jackie:
phew! Man, that was close!

Hang onto that chip, matt,
we don't want lose it again.

I can't wait to see
motherboard's face when...

Uh-oh!

Digit:
yoikes!

Let him go!

Matt:
what does it want?

He wants the chip!

Jackie:
give it to him, matt!
We have to save digit!

I hate when this happens.

Motherboard:
don't feel bad (static).

Kids:
motherboard!

Motherboard:
you all made a great effort
at turning things around.

Matt:
but we lost the chip!

At least we know hacker doesn't
have it...

Time to come home, cybermates!

Hacker:
what do you mean you forgot
where we parked the wreaker?!

Delete:
I thought it was behind that
sand dune.

They all look the same.

Hacker:
raaaa!

Buzz and delete:
ahhhhhh!
