HELP ALL KIDS LEARN
AND GROW WITH PBS KIDS.

THANK YOU FOR SUPPORTING
YOUR PBS STATION.

Boy, voice-over: OK.

There's this really bad dude
named Hacker.

The Hacker to you.

Boy, voice-over:
Whatever.

He wants to take over the
cyber world from Motherboard,

but kids are sucked
into cyberspace,

and they use brain power
to help save everybody.

OK. Here's the plan.

Boy, voice-over:
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?

Never.

Boy, voice-over: There's only
one way to find out.

Tune in to "Cyberchase."

Digit: Motherboard
Control Central.

This is where it all
happens, Scanner,

where Motherboard
keeps order

in cyberspace
with a little help

from the CyberSquad,
of course.

Awesome.

Aren't you supposed
to be taking notes

for your class report?

Sheesh!

The complete history
of cyberspace

is in this room.
Cool.

Are you
listening to me?

It's not every
cyberkid

that gets a tour
of this place.

Chill, Didge.

more levels, and
I'll be a Wind Bender.

A Wind Bender.
Sheesh!

Now, over here,
we have--whoa!

Oh!
[crash]

Didge, you OK?

Uh, yeah. Yeah.

The Didge is tough.

Oh, boy, I hate
when this happens.

Ow! Guess it's gonna
be one of those days.

Huh? What's this?

What is it?

Could it be?
Could it really be?

Delete: Gee, boss,
this is very nice of you.

Yeah. You never
served us before.

I'm feeling good, boys,
and brimming with confidence.

Yes. Ha ha!

The Hacker
is still in charge.

Even though every
one of your plans

to defeat Motherboard
has failed?

Nonsense!

Motherboard still has
the virus I gave her, right?

Um, right, boss.

You're right.

Is she not but a mere fraction
of her once-powerful self?

Yeah, boss.
A mere fraction.

Then who, I ask,

is in control
of Motherboard's destiny?

The Hacker!
The Hacker!

Exactly,

and now we're
going on vacation.

Digit: Come on, Mother B.
Boot up.

You won't believe
what I found.

You think
this is it?

If I'm right, Inez,

Motherboard's
as good as cured.

Might as well
get myself moving

while we wait
for Mother B.

Jumping rope now?

My soccer coach told me,
if you're active

for just minutes
a day every day--

You'll get tired.

No, exactly
the opposite.

It'll make you
feel better

and give you
more energy.

Scanner: Yep. My fingers
are crazy healthy. Ha ha!

Seriously, Scanner.
Heh.

You need to do more
than play that game.

Mother B.,
look what I found.

Closer.
Hold it closer.

Is it what
I think it is?

Yes. Yes, the template
for the Encryptor Chip.

OMG! Are you sure?

What's the
Encryptor Chip?

It can cure
Motherboard's virus.

And bring her back
to full power.

The chip goes in here.

I saw when Dr. Marbles
installed it.

Motherboard: Use the template.
Build a new chip.

But we need the Doc.
Where is he?

He's--he's--
Mother B.?

I can't
get her back.

This is not good.
This is not good at all.

I guess it's up to us
to build the chip.

But how?

There must be directions
or instructions or something.

[beep]
Bingo!

Encryptor Chip specs.

We need the Sands of Time

from atop the Great Pyramid

of Pyramidia,

drops of spring water

from the Glowing Glacier
of Penguia,

a clear crystal
from the Crystal Cave,

and the first ray of sunlight

from a Solaria sunrise.

This could be the most
important mission

we've ever been on.

Digit: Sorry, guys.
The Didge is grounded.

Better if I stay here

and try to reboot
Motherboard.

But, Didge,
we need you.

I'll go.
Really?

Yeah. You said
it's important.

Whatev.

Ah, yes.

Pyramidia--one of my
favorite cybersites,

soon to be mine,
of course.

Things didn't work out
so well

last time
we were here, boss.

That was then.

This is now.

Hmm, I never
thought of that.

We're here to
enjoy ourselves, boys,

soak up the sun.

To the pyramid!

Man, look at the
size of that thing.

Jackie: The Sands of Time
are at the top.

Once we get the Sands
and Inez and Matt

get the crystal, we'll
meet up in Penguia.

Phew,
an elevator.

Thought we'd have to
walk all the way up.

That's a great idea.
Let's walk.

Are you kidding me?
Why not?

It's like warming up
before a big race.

It gets your
heart pumping.

Can't we just take
the elevator?

Come on, Scanner.

It'll get me closer
to my goal of minutes

a day doing
something active.

The walk will be
good for you, too.

But I already
feel good.

Trust me, you'll
feel even better.

Man: Excuse me.
Yikes!

Going up?

Uh, no, thanks.
We're gonna walk.

Voice: Top floor--
the Sands of Time.

[ding]

[panting]

Man, this
is hard work.

Are we at that
minutes yet?

Not even close.

Move. We don't
have forever.

[wheezes]

Wow, the Sands
of Time.

Are we allowed
to just take some?

I don't know.

Sands of Time.

Get your Sands
of Time here.

Sands of Time?

One packet
for two snelfus.

I did not
see that coming.

One packet, please.

May your Sands of
Time never diminish.

Thank you.
Awesome.

One step closer to making
the Encryptor Chip.

Did someone say
Encryptor Chip?

Ah, earthbrat.

Hacker. We can't
let him stop us.

We're toast.
Follow me.

[gulp]

You're mine.

Hey, wait up. Whoa!

Quick,
the elevator.

Whoa!
Whoa!

Run!

Get them!

[panting]

[panting]

Faster, Scanner.
Faster.

Huh? I'm working on it.

[panting]

[panting]

Gee, those kids
are really fast.

Didge, we need a portal now.
Send us to Penguia.

One portal coming up.

Uh!
Huh!

[panting]

You hear that, boss?

They're going
to Penguia.

Why are they
going there?

Good question.

Hmm.

Vacation's over!
To the Wreaker!

Matt: Maybe the crystals
are in this tunnel.

We found crystals,
all right,

but they're pink.

We need a clear one.

Over here.
Another tunnel.

Oh, rats. These
crystals are blue.

What are those?

Ha! Oh, Matt, don't
try to scare me.

Whatever they are,
they're moving.

Yeah, right.
Come on.

We have to find
a clear crystal.

I think we need to do
something else first.

What?
Run!

Aah!
Aah!

Aah! Aah! Aah!
Aah! Aah!

Bats. Ohh...

Why'd it have
to be bats?

Look.
A clear crystal.

Got it.

[gasps]
Don't got it.

Matt: Oh! Uh! Oh!

Matt! Hang on!

Come on. Hurry.

Uhh...
Uh!

Thanks.

Didge, we got
the crystal.

Jackie and Scanner
have the Sands.

They're waiting for you
in Penguia.

Matt and Inez should
be here any minute.

Don't you ever
sit still?

Not if I can
help it.

That's why I pace
when I think.

I can work my body and
my brain at the same time.

You're always so busy
saving cyberspace

from Hacker,
how do you find time

for minutes of
activity every day?

Well, I don't do it
all at once.

A little bit
at a time adds up.

I mean, look at all
we've done so far.

It took at least
minutes

to walk to the top
of the Pyramid.

Yeah, and another two to
slide down the banister.

That was cool.

Cool, yeah, but sliding down
a banister doesn't count.

You have to really
get your heart pumping.

What about running from
Hacker to the portal?

That had to count.

Yes, and that's
more minutes.

Let's see-- walking,
another running.

plus is ,

so that's minutes
right there,

and the day's
not even over.

We got the crystal.

And we've got
the Sands of Time.

Matt: Next up, drops
of spring water

from the Glowing Glacier.

[beeping]

It's cybermiles
that way.

cybermiles?

Whoa, be a lot easier
if we had a snowmobile.

Skis?

Digit, on radio:
The snowmobile's being fixed.

Thanks, Didge.

Let's do it.
All right.

Wait. I'm almost
to the next level.

Scanner, do you want
to be a Wind Bender,

or do you want
to save Motherboard?

What are we
waiting for?

That must be the
Glowing Glacier.

Hmm, how do we
get there?

How about this?

Iceberg right ahead.

[both gasp]

[all grunting]

Man, saving cyberspace
isn't easy.

minutes of skiing,

minutes of paddling--
all good.

I never thought
being active

would give me energy

instead of
wearing me out.

I'm in.

minutes a day
is my goal, too.

You won't
regret it. Oh.

Inez: That must be
the spring water.

Yeah, but how
do we get to it?

All: Aah!

Face in the wall.

You must
speak with me.

Who are you?

I am the Guardian
of the Glowing Glacier.

We're
the CyberSquad.

We've come for drops
of spring water

from the glacier.

You must first answer
one simple riddle.

Ready?

When I grow, I come
closer to the ground.

What am I?

An icicle.

Say again.

An icicle.

Ha ha ha!
Well done.

Way to go,
Scanner.

Oh...

The drops of water
are for your taking.

, , , ,

, , .

Done.
Let's go.

We have
one more stop.

Thanks for
your help.

My pleasure.

Wait. I'll give you
a little push.

[inhales]

[blowing]

All: Whoa! Aah!

All: Aah...uh!

Well, well, well,
what have we here?

Give it back, Hacker.

Now then, what's
all this talk

about the
Encryptor Chip?

Do you really think
we'd tell you?

It might be
a good idea.

Fine. We're gonna
fix Motherboard

once and for all...

Matt!
Matt!

and you're not
gonna stop us.

Come on!

After them!

Wait for me,
you duncebuckets!

Oh!
Ow!

[dogs barking]

Ice!

All aboard,
CyberSquad.

Mush!

[barking]

Aah!
Whoa!

Yah-ha!
Uh!

Say hi to Digit.

Nice try,
earthbrats.

Didge, we need
a portal

to Solaria,
and hurry.

[tires screech]

Did they say Solaria?

[dogs barking]

[gasps]

Uh! Down, doggies.
Ha ha ha!

Stop licking me. Ha ha ha!

Jackie: The Sands
of Time...

drops of
spring water

from the
Glowing Glacier...

and a clear
crystal

from the
Crystal Cave.

All we need the first
ray of sunlight

from a Solaria
sunrise.

Then we make the chip
and reboot Motherboard.

Now we just have to
wait for morning.

I guess we're
in good shape, huh?

Definitely.

Hey, how are we doing
on our minutes?

I don't know.
I had it written down.

Um, I must have
lost the paper.

We need to
get organized.

Hey, I've got it.
We'll make a chart.

Days go this way,

and activities
go this way.

Oh, that makes it
easier to track.

Today's Sunday.

What have we
done so far?

Well, we walked up
all those steps

to the top
of the pyramid.

Mm, took about
minutes, right?

Right.

minutes to outrun
Hacker in Pyramidia.

minutes' ski time
in Penguia.

Another to paddle
to the Glowing Glacier.

Oh, plus more
minutes of running

to get away from
Hacker in Penguia.

So that's minutes
of running in total.

Oh, and more
riding on the dog sled.

Aw, sorry.
That doesn't count.

Why not? The dogs
were running.

Exactly.

The dogs were
running, not us.

Only counts if we
get our hearts pumping.

Ah, got it.

So let's add up
the minutes.

How many today?

Mm, .

But you said
we needed ,

so we're short
minutes.

Mm, you're right.
Get up.

Are you kidding?

Ah! Do I look
like I'm kidding?

Come on. We can
reach our goal.

OK.

[panting]

How many more?

[bird squawks]

Jackie: Huh! Uh!

Ahh, nothing like
a brisk climb

up a mountain
to start your day.

And it took about
minutes to get up here.

Add it to our chart.

All we need
is another ,

and we have the whole
day to get it done.

Awesome.

Here comes the sun.
Get ready, Matt.

Ready.

Got them.

Motherboard,
here we come.

Nice try, earthbrats,

but no Encryptor Chip
for you.

Ha ha ha! Ha ha ha!

That's what
you think.

Hyup! Huh! Uh!

Hacker: Ha ha ha!
Mm.

[grunting]

Uh!

Unhand me, you
impudent imp.

Game over, Hacker.

Get away from me.

Oh!
The sunbeam.

Oh! My wig!

Huh! Uh! Got them.

Pull me up,
you duncebuckets!

Pull me up!

Way to go,
Scanner.

That was
awesome.

But you lost
your game.

What about being
a Wind Bender?

As someone
once said to me,

what's more important,
being a Wind Bender

or saving Motherboard?

Glad you got you
priorities straight.

Ha ha! Ooh,
that reminds me.

[beeping]

You just added minutes
of physical activity.

How?
Stopping Hacker.

Digit: First up,
the Sands of Time.

Then pour in
drops of spring water

from the Glowing Glacier.

Now the tricky part.

Inez, hold the crystal
over the template.

Matty, open the sunbeams
and angle them

into the crystal.

All: Whoa!

It's working.

Plug it in,
Didge.

[beeping and whirring]

[zap]

Contact made.

I'm--I'm back.

Inez: Motherboard!

We're here,
Motherboard.

Can you see us?

Clear as a bell,
Jackie.

My hard drive is functioning
at full speed.

Yes!
Awesome!

Welcome home,
Mother B.

At last, I see
cyberspace

as I once did.

At last, I can--

Yoikes!
She's losing power.

Oh, what
happened?

Losing contact.

Motherboard!

She's in
trouble again.

Oh, no.

Um, this is an early model
of the Encryptor Chip.

The Doc told me
it took him

a bunch of tries
before he made

the final version.

This isn't it.

Oh, so close.

You tried.

With your help,

cyberspace
remains safe.

One day,
we'll fix you

for good,
Motherboard.

You'll see.

We promise.

You can count
on us, Mother B.

Stay right where you are.
It's "Cyberchase For Real."

Hudson:
Harry, look out!

Oh sorry, Hudson.

Oh, man, I shouldn't
have been walking

and texting
at the same time.

I love Lucy.

She's my
best friend.

I want a best friend.

You should get one.

Here, check out these
pictures of dogs

from shelters
who need homes.

They are so cute.

I think the name of my
new best friend is Joe.

Joe, welcome to your new home.

Yikes! I forgot
to buy dog food.

You stay here.

I'll be back in two shakes
of a dog's tail.

That's what humans say
when they mean very quickly.

[gasping]

Joe! Humans say a dog
is man's best friend.

This is not
best friend behavior.

Hey, you did it.
He's really cool.

You think so?
What's wrong?

He made a huge mess
in my home. He--

Tore up your pillows
and raided the trash?

How did you know?

Lucy did it, too.

What do I do?
Keep moving.

Dogs need physical activity
just like people do.

The vet says if a dog doesn't
get enough physical activity,

they get frustrated
and tear things up.

Really? How much
physical activity?

Well, it depends
on the breed,

but Joe could use
at least an hour a day.

Wow! That's a lot.

It doesn't have to be
all at one time.

Let me show you
something.

So you have to take
the dog out

times a day,
anyway, right?

Right.

Just make sure
the total activity

throughout the day adds up
to at least minutes.

Well, divided
by is ,

so minutes
each time?

Look at this.

Sometimes in the morning,
I do minutes.

Then, after dinner,
I do minutes.

Before I go to bed,
I do minutes.

plus equals ,
plus equals .

Some days, I do more.

OK, but that
sounds exhausting.

Nuh-uh. When you get
your heart pumping

keeping up with Joe,
you have a lot more energy,

plus it's
a lot of fun.

[panting]

Looking good, Joe.

Hey, Harry.
Hey.

How's it going?

Really great, Hudson.

Joe stop tearing
things up?

Yeah. You were right,
and I do have more energy.

I can cycle and run
faster and longer,

plus we're having
so much fun.

Joe is my new
best friend. Mm...
