PBS KIDS OPENS WORLDS OF POSSIBILITIES
FOR ALL CHILDREN
THANKS TO PBS STATIONS AND VIEWERS LIKE YOU.
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!

LET'S GO, LET'S GO, LET'S GO!
YOU HEARD THE BOSS. HE WANTS THE GRIM WREAKER CLEANED NOW!
WE JUST CLEANED IT THIS MORNING!
YOU KNOW THE BOSS, EVERYTHING HERE NEAT AND TIDY -
EVERYWHERE ELSE: CHAOS AND CONFUSION! HIT IT!
I NEED A NEW PLAN TO TAKE OVER CYBERSPACE
BUT NOTHING'S COMING! NOTHING! THINK... THINK!
HOW CAN I THINK WITH ALL THAT NOISE GOING ON OUTSIDE?
TURN THAT THING OFF!
AHHHH! YOU'VE PILFERED MY PERUKE!
DELETE! GIVE HIM BACK HIS WIG! HURRY!
WHICH ONE IS IT? WHIP... STIR... CHOP - BLEND,
AH, HERE IT IS! EJECT!
GET THIS GARBAGE OFF ME!
WAIT! THAT'S IT! GARBAGE, WASTE! YES, MY NEW PLAN,
WASTE! AS IN A WASTE PRODUCT OF CYBERSPACE: CYBERSTATIC!
OOOOH, OOH OOH PRETTY, BOSS
YEAH, PRETTY, BLUE CYBERSTATIC!
MORE LIKE PRETTY DANGEROUS!
CYBERSTATIC USED TO FLY ALL OVERB CYBERSPACE, SCRAMBLING MESSAGES,
ZAPPING CYBERSITES, CAUSING COMPLETE CHAOS.
I LOVED IT!
BUT DR. MARBLES CREATED THESE SATELLITES
TO CLEAN UP THE CYBERSTATIC,
SUCKING IT INSIDE THROUGH THE SATELLITE DISH.
THROUGH THESE PIPES.
THEN OUT INTO THE CYBERSTATIC RESERVOIR!
THE RESULTS? CYBERSPACE BECAME CRISP AND CLEAN,
NO CYBERSTATIC CLING! MOTHERBOARD WAS HAPPY!
AND I WAS MISERABLE!
BUT MOTHERBOARD WON'T BE SMILING MUCH LONGER!
I'M ABOUT TO ACTIVATE MY MOST INGENIOUS PLAN YET!
WHEN I REVERSE THE PROCESS, THE SATELLITE
WILL SHOOT YEARS AND YEARS OF CYBERSTATIC BACK INTO CYBERSPACE,
ONCE AGAIN CAUSING COMPLETE AND UTTER CHAOS!
RUN, SAN MAN, RUN!
EWW! IT'S JOHNNY GRUNGE!
THE NUMBER OF SMELLY BELLIES -
PLUS THREE, EQUALS FIVE PLUS FOUR.
TELL ME HOW MANY SMELLY BELLIES
I BURIED OR THIS PLACE IS GOING STINK TO HIGH HEAVEN!
OH MAN, NOT A NUMBER RIDDLE!
JACKIE! HACKER ALERT! NO TIME TO WASTE
SORRY, SAN MAN. SAVING THE ENVIRONMENT WILL HAVE TO WAIT!
MOTHERBOARD NEEDS ME!
FUEL? CHECK. BRAKE FLUID. CHECK. KIDS?
CHECK!
HEY, DIDGE! HI! WHAT'S UP?
BUCKLE UP, EARTHLIES, WE GOTTA MOVE FAST!
MOTHERBOARD SAID HACKER IS RELEASING CYBERSTATIC
ALL THROUGH CYBERSPACE!
HE'S MADE A REAL MESS OUT HERE!
WE GOTTA SHUT THAT STUFF DOWN NOW! HANG ON!
YESSS! I HAVE UNLEASHED THE PERFECT PLAN
TO POLLUTE CYBERSPACE!
SATELLITE ONE IS CONTAMINATING SENSIBLE FLATS!
SATELLITE TWO IS SHORTING OUT SOLARIA'S SUNISPHERE!
YOU'RE A GENIUS, BOSS!
AND SMART, TOO!
SATELLITE THREE IS DESTROYING THE FOREST!
WHAT ABOUT SATELLITE NUMBER FOUR, BOSS?
YEAH! YOU SAID THAT HAS THE NASTIEST CYBERSTATIC OF ALL!
WHERE'S THAT GOIN'?
THAT, MY SOFTHEADED SIDEKICKS, IS A SURPRISE!
HEY, IT'S DIGIT AND THOSE EARTHBRATS!
WE GOTTA DO SOMETHIN', BOSS!
YEAH, WE GOTTA STOP 'EM.
ACTUALLY, I'VE BEEN EXPECTING THEM. IT'S ALL PART OF THE PLAN.
UH... I'M LITTLE CONFUSED, BOSS.
YOU WANT THOSE PESKY KIDS TO STOP SATELLITE NUMBER ONE
FROM SENDING OUT CYBERSTATIC?
AND REST ASSURED THEY WILL.
BUT IT WILL TAKE THEM TIME TO ACCOMPLISH THE FEAT
AND TIME IS ON MY SIDE!
WHEN THE HAND REACHES ZERO - CYBERSPACE WILL BE MINE!
(LAUGHER)
WHOA, LOOK AT ALL THAT GUNK!
THAT IS SO TOTALLY GROSS!
AND IT'S DESTROYING SENSIBLE FLATS!
I THOUGHT POLLUTION ON EARTH WAS BAD, BUT THIS IS TERRIBLE!
WHAT DO WE HAVE TO DO TO STOP IT, DIDGE?
WE GOTTA PUSH THIS LEVER BACK TO SUCK THE CYBERSTATIC BACK IN.
WELL, PUSH IT! WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR?
IF IT WAS SO EASY, I WOULDA PUSHED IT ALREADY!
THERE'S A NUMBER LOCK ON THE LEVER.
IT WON'T BUDGE TILL WE ENTER THE RIGHT CODE NUMBERS.
IS THAT WHAT HACKER DID TO RELEASE THE CYBERSTATIC?
HE HAD TO! IT'S THE ONLY WAY THE LOCK WORKS.
WHERE DO WE GET THE NUMBERS?
OFF THESE WEIGHTY THINGS. I WATCHED THE DOC DO IT ONCE.
HE PICKED TWO WEIGHTS, PUT ONE ON EACH SIDE OF THIS SCALE AND...
AND WHAT?
AND THAT'S ALL I REMEMBER, EXCEPT THAT SOMETHING HAS TO BALANCE.
DOES, UH, THAT HELP?
YEAH, IT HELPS!
A BALANCE SCALE TO SHOWS WHEN TWO THINGS WEIGH THE SAME.
I KNEW THAT.
WE'LL SHOW YOU. MAYBE THEN YOU'LL REMEMBER MORE.
YOU AND MATT PUT ONE WEIGHT ON EACH SIDE OF THE SCALE
AND DON'T LET ME SEE THE NUMBERS!
THE NUMBERS AREN'T THE SAME.
HOW'D SHE KNOW THAT?
BECAUSE THE SCALE DOESN'T BALANCE.
IT TIPPED DOWN THIS WAY, SO THE WEIGHT ON THIS SIDE HAS TO BE HEAVIER.
WHICH MEANS THE NUMBERS ON THIS WEIGHT IS GREATER.
YOU'RE RIGHT! EIGHTEEN IS DEFINITELY MORE THAN NINE.
EVEN I KNOW THAT!
SO WHEN DOCTOR MARBLES SAID THE WEIGHTS HAD TO BALANCE -
IT WAS A CLUE! NOW DO YOU REMEMBER WHAT HAPPENED NEXT?
YES! I REMEMBER!
HE WROTE THE NUMBERS THAT BALANCED IN HERE!
TWO PLACES FOR THE NUMBERS AND AN EQUALS SIGN BETWEEN THEM.
EQUALS MEANS THAT TWO NUMBERS HAVE TO HAVE THE SAME VALUE
AND THAT'S JUST WHAT THE BALANCE TELLS US!
SO WE NEED TWO WEIGHTS WITH THE SAME NUMBERS.
HERE'S A THREE! IS THERE ANOTHER THREE DOWN THERE?
UH-UH! NO THREES!
HERE'S A FIVE? ANYONE GOT ANOTHER FIVE?
LOOKIN' FOR A FIVE!
GOT IT!
IT BALANCES! FIVE EQUALS FIVE!
THAT MUST BE THE NUMBER CODE! I'LL WRITE IT IN.
HOLD IT!
I JUST REMEMBERED! WE CAN'T USE JUST ANY OLD MARKER
TO ENTER THE CODE! THE DOC USED THIS SPECIAL ONE!
HURRY! SENSIBLE FLATS IS ALMOST STATIC FLATS!
FIVE ON THE LEFT EQUALS FIVE ON THE RIGHT.
SECURITY ACCESS PERMITTED.
WE DID IT!
THE SATELLITE IS PULLING THE CYBERSTATIC BACK IN!
SENSIBLE FLATS IS SAVED!
NO MORE POLLUTION!
YESSS!
LET'S NOT GET TOO HAPPY HERE, FOLKS.
WE STILL GOT THREE MORE SATELLITES TO FIX!
THREE MORE?
HMM. THOSE EARTHBRATS FIXED SATELLITE ONE
A LITTLE QUICKER THAN I EXPECTED.
BUZZ, DELETE. INTERCEPT THOSE GRADE SCHOOL GREMLINS
AND SLOW THEM DOWN!
BUT BOSS, WE JUST STARTED LUNCH!
NOW!
GOTCHA, BOSS!
YEAH, RIGHT AWAY!
WE'RE OUTTA HERE! GONZO!
AHH, SOME DAY, WHEN CYBERSPACE IS MINE,
I JUST KNOW I'LL BE ABLE TO GET BETTER HELP.
THERE ARE THREE OTHER SATELLITES POLLUTING CYBERSPACE?
HACKER REVERSED 'EM ALL!
WELL, IF I COME FACE TO FACE WITH THAT POLLUTER HACKER,
I'LL TELL IT TO BUZZ AND DELETE!
NOTHIN', I MEAN NOTHIN' CAN STOP US!
WHAT ABOUT THAT?
AHHHH!
LOOK OUT!
THE BRAKES! HIT THE BRAKES!
BUZZY, STOP THIS THING!
UH... LET'S TRY THIS ONE.
NEXT TIME I'M DRIVING.
OH NO YOU'RE NOT.
OH YES I AM.
IT'S MY TURN, LET GO!
YOU LET GO!
NO WAY BUZZY!
THIS IS AWESOME!
INEZ, IT'S ME! WE CAN STOP THE POLLUTION FASTER
IF WE FIX SATELLITE TWO AND YOU GUYS TAKE SATELLITE THREE!
GREAT IDEA, JAX! SEE'YA AT NUMBER FOUR!
BUZZY LET GO!
NO WAY DETEY.
FOR NOW, YOU DISCOMMODIOUS DUNCEBUCKETS,
I'LL PRETEND THAT DIDN'T HAPPEN.
JUST STOP THOSE KIDS!
THAT'S EASY FOR HIM TO SAY!
NOWWWWWW!
OH, MAN, LOOK WHAT THE STUFF'S DOING TO SOLARIA!
C'MON, WE KNOW THE DRILL!
FIND THE WEIGHTS THAT BALANCE THE SCALE,
THEN PLUG THOSE NUMBERS IN TO UNLOCK THE SECURITY CODE.
HACKER MUST HAVE BEEN IN A HURRY WHEN HE WAS HERE.
HE LEFT A SEVEN ON THE SCALE!
WELL, THAT MAKES IT EASY, THEN.
ALL WE NEED IS ANOTHER SEVEN TO BALANCE IT!
A FIVE, A TWO, A THREE...
A SEVEN! TOLD YOU IT'D BE EASY!
THEY BALANCE! LET'S PUT THE SEVENS IN THE BOXES!
OH, NO! THERE'S THREE SPACES LEFT FOR NUMBERS, NOT ONE!
IT CAN'T BE JUST A SEVEN.
SO MUCH FOR EASY.
NOW WE HAVE TO FIND THREE WEIGHTS THAT EQUAL SEVEN!
OKAY, OKAY, WHAT DO WE HAVE HERE?
LET'S START WITH A TWO AND BUILD UP TO SEVEN.
HERE'S A FIVE! FIVE AND TWO ARE SEVEN, SO, OH FORGET IT,
WE NEED THREE WEIGHTS TO BALANCE THE SEVEN - NOT TWO!
RIGHT.
LET'S TRY THIS THREE.
ALMOST. WE JUST NEED TO MAKE THIS SIDE A LITTLE HEAVIER.
HOW ABOUT ANOTHER TWO WEIGHT?
IT BALANCES!
LET'S PUT IT IN!
TWO PLUS TWO PLUS THREE IS THE SAME VALUE AS SEVEN.
SECURITY ACCESS PERMITTED!
TOUCHDOWN!
CYBERSTATIC... YOU ARE HISTORY!
IT'S WORKING! SUNNY DAYS ARE HERE AGAIN!
IT WASN'T MY FAULT WE STALLED OUT.
OH, REALLY? WAS I DRIVING? NO! YOU WERE DRIVING!
YEAH, BUT YOU WERE TELLING ME WHAT TO DO.
SO DON'T LISTEN TO ME NEXT TIME! C'MON, WE GOTTA STOP THOSE KIDS!
THOSE POOR BUNNIES!
WE HAVE TO SAVE THEM, DIDGE! WE HAVE TO!
AWRIGHT, AWRIGHT, WE WILL!
YOIKES!
LOOK AT ALL THESE PLACES WE GOTTA FILL IN.
AND LOOK AT ALL THESE WEIGHTS!
IF WE HAVE TO FIND A BALANCE USING ALL OF THEM, IT'LL TAKE FOREVER!
WELL, WE GOTTA START SOMEWHERE.
HERE'S A SIX.
HERE'S ANOTHER SIX!
BADA BING BADA BALANCE!
NOW WE'RE COOKIN'!
HERE'S A TWO.
AND ANOTHER TWO!
HEY, WHADDA YOU KNOW?
WHEN YOU ADD THE SAME WEIGHT TO EACH SIDE, IT STILL BALANCES!
I THINK IT'S SINKIN IN!
WE DID IT! WE BALANCED THE SCALE USING ALL THE WEIGHTS!
LET'S PUT IN THE NUMBERS AND SAVE THOSE BUNNIES!
UH OH!
WHAT UH OH? I DON'T LIKE UH OHS!
THERE ARE ONLY FOUR PLACES ON EACH SIDE TO PUT NUMBERS,
AND WE HAVE FIVE WEIGHTS ON EACH SIDE!
ONE TOO MANY ON EACH SIDE OF THE SCALE!
DON'T TELL ME WE HAVE TO START OVER!
OH, AND WE'RE RUNNING OUT OF TIME!
THOSE CUTE LITTLE BUNNIES CAN'T DODGE THE CYBERSTATIC FOREVER!
NEZZIE! GET A GRIP!
YOU'RE RIGHT, DIDGE. MAYBE WE DON'T HAVE TO START OVER!
DO YOU REALLY THINK BETTER THAT WAY?
WHICH WAY? OKAY, WHAT DO WE KNOW?
WE KNOW WHEN WE ADD THE SAME AMOUNT TO EACH SIDE
OF A BALANCED SCALE, IT STILL BALANCES.
SO MAYBE IF WE TAKE AWAY THE SAME AMOUNT FROM EACH SIDE
IT'LL STAY IN BALANCE TOO!
OF COURSE! THE NEW TOTALS ON EACH SIDE WILL STILL MATCH EACH OTHER.
WE JUST HAVE TO FIGURE OUT WHICH WEIGHTS HACKER DIDN'T USE,
AND REMOVE THEM.
NO PROBLEMO!
THE OLD BEAKEROO CAN SMELL THE HACKER A MILE AWAY!
YECH! THE HACKER TOUCHED THIS ONE FOR SURE.
PHOOF! THIS ONE TOO!
AND THIS ONE.
BUT NOT THIS ONE! THE FOUR WEIGHT IS CLEAN!
LET'S SEE IF YOU'RE RIGHT. WE'LL TAKE A FOUR FROM EACH SIDE.
EASY, EASY, BEAUTEEFUL!
WE'RE STILL BALANCED.
THAT LEAVES US WITH A SIX, A TWO, A FIVE,
AND A THREE ON EACH SIDE! LET'S HOPE THAT'S RIGHT.
THE SPECIAL MARKER, MILADY!
SECURITY ACCESS PERMITTED!
GET READY TO BE SAVED, BUNNIES!
NO MORE CYBERSTATIC! WOOO! WE SAVED THE BUNNIES!
I'M SO HAPPY! YOU GOT A TISSUE?
(LAUGHTER)
AH, YES! MY POLLUTION PLAN IS PERFORMING PERFECTLY!
IN A FEW MORE TICKS, MOTHERBOARD WILL BE SHUT DOWN FOREVER!
AND ALL OF CYBERSPACE WILL BE MINE!
SATELLITE TWO IS A-OKAY! WE SAVED SOLARIA!
SATELLITE TRHEE IS BACK TO NORMAL, TOO! WE SAVED THE FOREST.
AND THE BUNNIES! DON'T FORGET THE BUNNIES!
IT'S ON TO SATELLITE FOUR, THE LAST ONE!
ONCE WE STOP THAT ONE WE STOP HACKER!
(LOUD CLUNK)
WHOA! WHAT HAPPENED?
WHAT WAS THAT?
THEY'VE GOT US!
IT'S BUZZ AND DELETE!
WE GOT 'EM, NOW, DEEDEE!
YEAH! THE BOSS IS GONNA BE REAL HAPPY!
THIS IS NOT GOOD! THIS IS NOT GOOD AT ALL!
COME ON, DIDGE, DO SOMETHING!
WE'VE GOT TO GET TO THAT FOURTH SATELLITE AND SHUT IT DOWN!
RELAX, GUYS, THIS BABY'S FULL OF SURPRISES!
WHO KNEW THEY COULD DO THAT?
HA HA HA BYE-BYE, MOTHERBOARD! CIAO.
HACKER ALERT - FIND! FIND! FIND!
HUH?
THOSE KIDS HAVE REACHED SATELLITE FOUR ALREADY?
I'LL HAVE TO STOP THEM MYSELF!
NO TIME FIND I-I-
MOTHERBOARD! OH NO!
HACKER ALERT! FIND, FIND, FIND...
SHE'S TOTALLY POLLUTED!
NOT FOR ANOTHER THREE MINUTES!
HACKER!
THE HACKER, TO YOU!
THE FIRST THREE SATELLITES WERE MERELY DECOYS TO KEEP YOU BUSY,
WHILE MOTHERBOARD RECEIVED AN ULTRA HIGH DOSE
OF CYBERSTATIC FROM THIS ONE!
YOU LISTEN TO ME, HACKER!
NO! YOU LISTEN TO ME! WHEN THE BIG HAND REACHES ZERO,
MOTHERBOARD WILL BE BEYOND RECOVERY
AND CYBERSPACE WILL BE MINE!
I ALWAYS KNEW YOU WERE MEAN, HACKER.
BUT THIS IS A NEW LOW-
CONTAMINATING THE AIR, DESTROYING THE ENVIRONMENT?
DON'T YOU CARE ABOUT ANYONE BUT YOURSELF?
IN A WORD... NO!
C'MON, GUYS, THERE'S STILL TIME FIND THE NUMBER CODE.
YOU'LL HAVE TO REMOVE ME FIRST. AND NOBODY REMOVES THE HACKER!
LOOK OUT!
YEOWWWW!
WHOA!
THE SCALE!
HA HA HA! OH! WE CAUGHT THE BOSS INSTEADA THE KIDS!
LET 'IM GO, DEEDEE - BLOW HIM OUT!
I'M TRYIN', I'M TRYIN'!
MOTHERBOARD'S ALMOST OUT OF TIME!
WE'VE GOT TO STOP THE CYBERSTATIC!
BUT WE DON'T HAVE THE SCALE!
WE CAN'T FIGURE OUT THE CODE WITHOUT THE SCALE!
LOOK! ALL THE NUMBERS ARE FILLED IN BUT ONE!
IT'S A LONGSHOT, BUT I BET WE CAN FIGURE OUT
THE MISSING NUMBER WITHOUT THE SCALE!
WE NEED TO FIND THE NUMBER THAT WILL MAKE THE TOTAL ON THIS SIDE
EQUAL THE TOTAL ON THE OTHER!
TIME FOR THE SKWAK PAD!
IF WE COMBINE THE ONE AND FIVE, THE VALUE'S STILL SIX, RIGHT?
RIGHT! SO SOMETHING PLUS TWO EQUALS SIX.
AND HEY, REMEMBER THAT TAKE AWAY THINGIE WE DID JACKIE?
WE DO THAT HERE AND YOU'VE GOT THE NUMBER!
HEY, YEAH! IF WE SUBTRACT THE SAME VALUE FROM EACH SIDE,
IT WON'T CHANGE THE BALANCE.
SO LET'S TAKE AWAY TWO FROM BOTH SIDES.
IF WE TAKE TWO AWAY FROM BOTH SIDES,
WE'RE LEFT WITH SIX MINUS TWO EQUALS FOUR!
SO THE MISSING NUMBER IS FOUR!
WAIT! LET ME JUST DOUBLE CHECK BEFORE WE WRITE IT IN!
WE NEED TO BE SURE.
HERE'S OUR CODE: FOUR PLUS TWO EQUALS SIX!
AND ONE PLUS FIVE EQUALS SIX!
YUP! BOTH SIDES ARE EQUAL.
HURRY! MOTHERBOARD ONLY HAS A FEW SECONDS LEFT!
SECURITY ACCESS PERMITTED!
THIS IS FOR YOU, MOTHERBOARD!
WE DID IT! YEAH!
GET ME OUT OF HERE!
WHATEVER YOU DO, DON'T PUSH THE BUTTON.
THIS BUTTON?
DON'T PUSH THE BUTTON!
AHHHHHHHH...
WHAT? YOU SAID NOT TO LISTEN TO YOU!
MOTHERBOARD! COME IN MOTHERBOARD!
ARE YOU THERE? ARE YOU OKAY?
FINE... FINE... FINE... I'M... I'M OKAY...
THANKS CYBER MATES! YOU SAVED ME
AND CLEANED UP CYBERSPACE!
THIS IS EASY. WHAT PLUS THREE EQUALS FIVE PLUS FOUR? SIX.
SIX PLUS THREE EQUALS FIVE PLUS FOUR EQUALS NINE!
YES! GO SANMAN!
