07x05 - Father's Day

[bunniefuu]

Narrator:
ok, there's this really bad dude

Named hacker.

Hacker: "the" hacker to you.

Narrator: whatever.
He wants to take over

The cyberworld
from motherboard.

[Kids gasp]

The kids are sucked
into cyberspace,

And they use brainpower
to help save everybody.

Jackie:
ok, here's the plan.

Narrator:
so they travel all over

And run into all these
weird creatures

And have all these
awesome adventures.

It's totally up to
them to save cyberspace.

Can cool kids and a wacky bird
outsmart the hacker?

Hacker: never.

Matt: there's only one way
to find out.

Narrator:
tune in to "cyberchase"!

Singers: ♪ 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 ♪

♪ Cosmic worlds ♪

♪ Freaky places
that we've seen ♪

♪ We've got the power ♪

♪ Of , , , ♪

♪ Running in a cyberchase ♪

♪ We'll meet him face to face ♪

♪ We'll stick together
all the time ♪

♪ Adventures in cyberspace ♪

♪ The chase is on ♪

♪ Just wait
and c-y-b-e-r chase ♪

[Hacker chuckles]

I suppose I should be
envious of you, max.

After all, you did
outrun me in track.

[Cheering]

But then who wanted to spend

All that time training
and practicing?

And yet did I ever try
to settle the score? No! Never!

I admit, you defeated me
in debates, in slugball,

In our school dance contest.

But that was then,
and this is now!

[Laughs diabolically]

It's get even time, max.

At this year's father's day
parade in tikiville,

I will finally, finally,
finally humiliate you.

[Chuckling]

Buzz! Delete!

Round up the rest of
my humble henchmen. Now!

Buzz: right away, boss.

[Beep beep]

Baskerville: "meet hacker
at the northern frontier,

Signed buzz and delete."

Hmm.

[Beep beep]

Inez: bring your leg up like so.

Matt: then kick the ball
with the side of your foot.

Digit: yikes!

All: goal!

Digit: hooray!

[Device beeps]

Jackie: that's weird.
It's from buzz and delete.

"Meet hacker at
the northern frontier."

Matt and inez: huh?
Jackie: didn't expect that one.

Inez: why would buzz
and delete text you?

Matt: maybe their mistake
is our opportunity.

Hacker:
to ensure absolute secrecy,

I'll be sending
you your instructions

As coded messages
with my brilliant invention,

The decode-a-tron.

Henchmen: ooh!

Buzz: d'oh!
Delete: aah.

Hacker:
the messages will arrive

In three different colors--

Yellow, green, and purple.

Each color will be
a different code.

And each code will use
a different pattern of numbers

That match letters
of the alphabet.

Is that clear?

Buzz: different color.
Delete: different code.

Got it, boss.

Hacker: really? I'm amazed!

Finally, decode the messages
the same as last time.

Any questions?

Baskerville:
shan't be a problem, my liege.

Hacker: excellent!

Now, move out
and await instructions.

Baskerville: I expect
the first coded message

Will arrive shortly.

[Baskerville
laughs diabolically]

Inez: coded messages
from hacker?

Digit: sounds like he's up to
something really big this time.

Jackie: lucky for us
buzz and delete sent me

That text message by mistake.

Matt: either that or
you're in their favorite five.

Inez: this is no time
for jokes, matt.

We have to find a way to
intercept those coded messages.

Jackie: what we need is one
of those decode-a-tron gizmos.

Digit: fear not, earthlies!

The didge
will deliver the goods!

Hacker: prepare for take-off!

Buzz, dump the trash!

Buzz: deedee, dump the trash!

Delete: I always dump
the trash when we take off.

Buzz: no, you don't.
Delete: yes, I do.

Hacker: I don't care which
one of you dumps the trash.

Just dump it!

[Hacker growls]

Inez: oh, no!

Where's didge?

Kids: didge!

Digit:
one decode-a-tron as promised.

Jackie: way to go, didge!
You're the best!

Matt:
any idea where hacker's going?

Digit: nope.
[Decode-a-tron beeps]

But we're
gonna find out something.

What's with all the numbers?

Matt: that's got to be
the coded message.

Digit: but how can
we tell what it says

If we don't know the code?

Jackie: well, what if
each number stands

For a letter in the alphabet?

Inez: yeah!

See how the numbers are bunched
together in small groups?

Maybe each group is a word.

Matt: you guys could be
on to something.

Let's see, letters
in the alphabet.

Now, if you're right,

There won't be any
numbers over .

And there aren't!

So one could be the letter "a,"
two the letter "b."

Three is "c," four is "d."

Digit:
five is "e"--no, uh, six is "e."

No, uh, that's "f."
No, it's "e"!

Jackie: hold it!
We need to get organized.

Matt, pen and paper me.

We need to make a table
that matches each letter

To its number.

Digit: I got it.

"F" is definitely six!

Or is it seven?

Jackie: all done.

Look, didge. "F" is six, see?

Each number
is matched to a letter.

Matt: all right, jax!

Let's decode that message.

Jackie: seven and .

Seven is "g," and is "o."

G-o.

Matt: let's see if the rest
of the words make sense.

What's the next group?

Inez: twenty and .

Jackie:
twenty is "t," and is "o."

T-o.

The second word is "to".

Matt: the first word is "go."

So far it reads "go to..."

Digit: go where?

Where's hacker going?

Jackie: let's find out.

Twenty, "t," nine, "i,"
, "k,"

Nine, "i," , "v,"

Nine, "i," "l,"

, "L," five, "e."

I've got it!

Tikiville.

Matt: game on, jax!

The next word is
, eight, and five.

Jackie: t-h-e.

Matt: the last word is eight,

One, three, , five, and .

Jackie: h-a-c-k-e-r!

Matt:
"go to tikiville. The hacker."

Inez: tikiville? Why tikiville?

Jackie: I don't know,
but we better get there fast.

Digit: motherboard, come in.

We need a portal,
and put a rush on it!

Creech: hi, everyone.

Happy father's day.

And welcome to the big
father's day parade

Coming to you
this year from tikiville.

In just a few minutes,
the parade will wind along

Our very own sweet cyberway

Through the far-out forest,

And stop at the fantastic
fathers' photo-rama,

Where the cyberdad of the
year will receive his trophy.

And speaking of this
year's cyberdad of the year,

Let's meet him!

My dad, max!

Max: hey, creech.

Your announcing is
extremely accomplished.

Creech: thanks, daddy.

I mean max!

And congratulations on winning

Cyberdad of the year!

Max: the credit
goes to my daughter.

Creech wrote an eloquent
letter that impressed

The nominating committee.

Creech: I just told the truth.

I wrote how my dad makes the
most splendid banana pancakes,

Plays super spy guy
with me all the time,

And gives far-out
hydroplane rides.

My dad is
the quintessence of daddiness!

Be right back for
the start of the parade.

[Kids and digit groan]

Creech: guys!

Kids and digit: creech!

Creech: I can't believe
you're here. This is my dad.

Matt and jackie: hi.
Digit: hiya.

Inez: nice to meet you.

Max: call me max. It's
excellent to meet you.

I've heard so much
about you from creech.

Are you here for the parade?

Creech: my dad is cyberdad
of the year!

Digit:
actually, we followed hac--

Jackie: yes!

That's exactly why we're
here, to see the parade.

Uh, right, guys?

Matt: oh, yeah!
Inez: definitely!

I'd love to see the floats...

Over there.

Creech: sure! Come on, inez.
We'll show you.

Digit: hey.
What's with the interrupting?

Jackie:
this parade is important

For everyone in cyberspace,

Especially
for creech and her dad.

Matt:
yeah. We don't want to spoil it.

Digit: you're right.

Let's go stop hacker!

Hacker: the plan to embarrass
max will not fail.

It's foolproof.

Report!

Buzz:
baskerville is in position.

Delete: trashinator
is in position.

Hacker: yes! The parade is
starting. It's code time!

[Beep beep]

[Fanfare]

[Beep beep]

Jackie: ok! The parade's
off with no problem.

Let's find out
what's going on.

[Beep beep]

Digit: another coded message.

Matt: more numbers
just like last time.

Jackie:
this should be easy to cr*ck.

I've got the alphabet table
from last time.

Numbers, please.

Matt: nine, , three,
and four.

Jackie: nine is "i."

Twenty is "t."

Three is "c" and four is "d."

Matt: "i-t-c-d"?

That's not a word.

Digit:
try some of the other words.

Matt: eleven, .

Jackie: "k" and "v."

Matt: next word: , , .

Jackie: sixteen is "p,"
is "q," and is "y."

What's that spell?

Matt: um, "kv pqy"?

Digit: that doesn't make
any sense either.

Matt: hmm, what if hacker
changed the code, and that's why

This message is green

And the other was yellow.

Different colors,
different codes.

Digit: something tells me
this isn't gonna be easy.

Delete:
I just love a parade, buzzy.

Buzz: me, too.

They're so paradey.

Max: hello, tikiville!

Happy father's day!

Creech: I want to thank
my friend inez

For riding along with me.

Delete: hey!

What's that
earthbrat doin' here?

Buzz: aah!
Hacker: not to worry, boys.

My plan is working
to perfection.

Say hello to max--

The robot, that is.

Buzz: uh, hello, max.

Delete: hi, max.

Robot max: hello, duncebuckets.

[Hacker chuckling]

Matt:
come on. We can do this, guys.

Look, we've got groups
of numbers like before,

And no number higher than .

Jackie: so each number
probably still stands

For a letter somehow.

Digit: but which number
with which letter?

Matt: good question, didge.

Maybe there's a new
pattern to these numbers.

Jackie: time for a new table.

Before, one was "a"
and two was "b."

Maybe this time,
two is "a," is "b,"

Four is "c,"
five is "d," six is "e"...

And done!

Matt: ok, let's try it.

The first word
is nine, , three, and four.

Jackie: that's h-s-b-c.

Digit: hsbc?

What's a hsbc?

Matt: it's not a word,
that's for sure.

Let's try another pattern.

Jackie: guys, we don't have
time to make a bunch of tables.

We need a faster way
to test different codes.

Matt: in one of my spy books,

The spy used
a secret decoder ring.

It had the alphabet
around one band

And numbers from
one to around the other.

You put the letter "a"
next to different numbers

To get different codes.

Digit:
sorry. No secret decoder ring.

Matt: I have an idea.
How about a yo-yo?

Pen me, jax!

Watch.

If I write
the alphabet on the top half...

And numbers
on the bottom half...

See?

I can twist
the top to put the letter "a"

Next to any number I want.

Digit: each twist
is a different pattern.

A thing of beauty, matty.

Jackie:
make "a" three and "b" four.

We haven't tried
that pattern yet.

Matt: "a," three, "b," four.
Got it.

Jackie: now decode nine,
, three, and four.

Matt: nine, g, , r,

Three, a, four, b. G-r-a-b.

Digit: "grab"! Grab is a word!

Jackie: great!
Here's the rest of the code.

Eleven and .

Matt: i-t.
Jackie: sixteen, , .

Matt: n-o-w.

Jackie: twenty-two, ten, seven.

Matt: t-h-e.

Jackie: last word.

Ten, three, five,

, Seven, and .

Matt: h-a-c-k-e-r.

Hacker!

Jackie:
"grab it now. The hacker."

Digit: grab what?

What's "it"?

Matt: don't know, didge, but we
better catch up to the float.

Come on!

Max: happy father's day!

Inez:
what's your dad handing out?

Creech: his famous
and fabulous banana pancakes.

Jackie: see anything yet?

Digit: nope,
but these banana pancakes

Are unbelievable!

Creech: there seems
to be a malfunction

With that roving recliner.

Jackie: green smoke? Huh!

That is so hacker.

Matt: I bet he's gonna grab
whatever "it" is right now.

Hurry!

Digit: so what'd hacker grab?

Matt: I don't know.

Everything looks
the same to me.

[Hacker cackling]

Creech: welcome back
to the father's day parade.

Inez: I'm creech's friend, inez.

Creech: and I'm creech.

We're nearing the
fantastic fathers' photo-rama,

Where my dad will be crowned
cyberdad of the year.

He so deserves it.

Hacker:
and I'm going to make sure

He gets exactly
what he deserves.

[Cackles]

Robot max: I know you all
liked my banana pancakes.

How about some
cyber-syrup to go with them?

[Robot max cackling]

Inez: creech!

What's your dad doing?

Creech: i--i have no idea.

Digit: whoa!

Matt: so much
for everything being the same.

Jackie: no kidding!

Why would
the cyberdad of the year

Squirt syrup at everybody?

Digit: I don't know,
but it tastes good!

[Beep beep]

Jackie: wait!

Another message.
This time it's purple!

Oh, man!

The pattern's really
changed this time.

Some numbers are larger
than , lots of 'em!

Matt: which means my decoder
yo-yo won't work now.

Digit: what are we gonna do?
Jackie: duck!

Digit: yikes!

[Robot max cackling]

[Trashinator burps]

Delete: hi, max.

Happy father's day!

Max: I know who you two are.

What's hacker trying
to accomplish this time?

Buzz: well, he's
already accomplished it,

Right, deedee?

Delete: right, buzzy!

The max robot is now
cyberdad of the year.

[Laughter]

Robot max: know why I won
cyberdad of the year?

Because I'm better
than all of you.

[Robot max cackles]

Inez:
what's gotten into your dad?

Creech: I wish I knew.

Dad! What are you doing?

Jackie: ok, what do we know?

Matt: we know we still
have groups of numbers,

But now a lot of the numbers
are higher than .

Digit: can those big numbers
still represent letters?

Jackie: I think so, didge.

Check out the last
two groups of numbers.

Three numbers
and six numbers

Just like
the first two messages.

So, if hacker always
signs his messages the same way,

Then we know
what those two words are.

Digit and matt: the hacker!

Matt:
"the hacker" fits perfectly.

Jackie: if we're right, at least
we'll know some of the letters

In the new code.

Matt: look! This would
make the "a," "c," and "e"

In "hacker"
one, five, and nine.

Digit:
yeah, but what's the pattern?

Jackie: let's start at
the beginning of the alphabet

And fill in what we know.

One, skip a letter, five,
skip a letter, nine.

Maybe the pattern is
counting up by odd numbers.

One, three, five, seven, nine.

They all fit
a pattern of odd numbers.

Digit: keep counting up, jax!

Jackie:
I'm counting! I'm counting.

Matt: if we're right about
the pattern, we should be able

To cr*ck the rest of the code.

Let's go for it.

The secret message is

"Take it to grand
tiki. The hacker."

Digit: I still don't know
what "it" is,

But I do know where
the grand tiki is.

Follow me.

[Robot max chuckling]

Robot max: oops! Sorry. Ha ha!

How'd that happen?

Ooh, right in your face!

Bam!

Ha ha ha!

[Hacker chortling]

Hacker: ah, yes.
Nothing like a good pie fight.

Revenge is so sweet. Hee hee!

Creech:
dad, stop! What are you doing?

Inez: you think he's ok? Uhh!

Robot max: huh, huh! Sorry!

Digit: that's it,
the grand tiki statue.

Matt: whoa!

It's delete and trashinator!

Jackie: whatever it is
must be inside.

Matt: and maybe hacker, too.

How are we going to get in
without being seen?

Digit: hmm.

Leave it to the didge!

[Robot max laughing]

Buzz: so what do ya think, max?

Kind of fun watching
yourself, eh?

Max: hacker will be
found out. He always is.

[Pop! Burp! Pop!]

Buzz: trash, what are you
doing back here?

Digit? Earthbrats?

Careful. Hey!
Let me out of here!

Max: matt, jackie, digit,
I'm so grateful you found me!

Jackie:
wait. I don't understand.

How can you be here

And in the parade
at the same time?

Max:
hacker grabbed me off the float

When everything went green.

The max on the float
is an imposter--a robot.

Robot max: ha ha ha ha!

Digit: another message!

Matt:
it's purple like the last one.

We should be
able to cr*ck it easily.

Jackie:
hang on. I'm almost done.

Got it!

"Photo slime time--
the hacker."

Max: photos. Oh, no.

Hacker's gonna slime the
fantastic fathers' photo-rama!

We've got to stop him.

[Crowd cheering]

[Robot max chuckles]

Hacker: this is it, max!

Time for you to
experience the same humiliation

And shame you've caused me.

Argh!

Robot max: hello, cybercitizens.

I will now show
you what I really feel

About fathers and father's day!

Heh heh heh!

Creech: dad, no!

Dad?

Hacker: oh, no!

Max:
take that, you boorish borg!

Creech: dad!
I knew that couldn't be you.

Are you ok?

Max:
thanks to your friends, I am!

Digit: happy father's day, max.

[Cheering and applause]
