THANKS TO PBS STATIONS AND VIEWERS LIKE YOU.
Cyberchase - we're moving
we're beating 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!
Motherboard!
It's Fluff.
Big problems in Penguia!
Real big!
I'm here, Fluff.
What is it?
Hacker's back!
He's turned our Emperor into an ice statue and...
left him in the Frigid Fields!
Hacker said if anyone goes against him - he'll freeze
them too!
And worst of all, Hacker's declared himself our new
Emperor!
Yessss!
Send the Cybersquad... hurry!
Will do, Fluff!
Ah-ah-ah... CHOOOO!
Cybersquad, portal to Penguia...
thaw out the Emperor.
We're on it, Mother B!
You have less than two hours.
After that Emperor will be frozen forever!
Just what I beed - a bission to the frozen tundra
with this terrible code.
Ah-choo.
You just get better, Didge.
We'll take this one ourselves.
Matt, Jackie, Inez!
You don't know how good it is to see you guys!
Thanks, Fluff.
And don't worry - we're gonna help you save the Emperor.
Where's Didge?
With Motherboard.
He's got a bad cold.
We don't have much time.
How do we get to Frigid Fields?
I'll show you.
We're here...
in Penguin Village.
We have to get the Meltmeister invention from Furgie... who
lives here.
Then take it through Powder Pass... to the Frigid Fields
where the Emperor is.
What about Hacker?
Where's he?
Here... at the Ice Palace.
Got it.
Wait a sec.
It's a long way to Frigid Fields... how are we gonna get
there in time?
That's where my super speedy Snowdeer sleigh comes in.
Whoa... cool!
It looks kinda small, though.
I know.
It only carries three.
But it's really, really fast!
I'm sure it is.
But we need to save room for the Emperor.
That means only two of us can go.
I'LL GO!
Okay.
Let's try this another way.
Who volunteers to stay?
Well... I'll stay.
My room can be command central in case there's a problem.
Wanna stay with me?
Well... sure.
We'll hold down the fort together.
That settles it.
Operation Save The Emperor is a go!
C'mon, Jax!
Wait!
The map!
I've got another copy.
You've got an hour and a half!
We're outta here!
Where is everyone?
What's the good of being an Emperor when there are no
subjects to order around?
You scared 'em away, boss.
Want me to get 'em?
That's what the "second in command" of an Emperor does.
Hey!
You're not second in command.
I am!
No way, Buzzy!
I am!
Neither one of you duncebuckets is worthy of
being my second in command!
Well, I could be!
No, it's me, boss!
I could be worthy.
Then prove it!
Whoa... whoa!
Which way, Jax?
According to the map... we're supposed to bear left at
something called Icicle Peak.
Uh... Jax?
I think we're on Icicle Peak!
AHHHHHHHH...
Ohhhhh... I feel horrible, Motherboard.
By beak is stuffed, by head is clogged,
eben my feathers ache.
Finish your soup... you'll feel better.
Soup... ech!
Wonder what's on TV?
This is Stormy Gale
and it's another beautiful day in cyberspace.
What's that?
This just in from Penguia...
The village of Snowville was just hit
with a massive snowstorm.
They're digging out right now!
Wuh-oh!
I better warn the Earthlies!
Inez... it's be!
There's a big snowstorm in Snowville!
It bight be heading your way!
Snowville isn't too far from here.
Keep us posted, okay, Didge?
Jou got it!
How much time left to save the Emperor?
A little more than an hour!
They'll make it, I know they will.
They have to!
The future of Penguia depends on it!
Meltmeister... oh precious Meltmeister...
wherefore art thou?
Ah-ha!
Find it?
No!
This is the polar engine I invented.
Runs on snow.
Is that it over there?
This?
Not exactly.
This is the Ice-o-Nart.
Turns ice into food.
Very handy 'round here.
Keep looking, Furgie.
We're in a hurry.
Hurry, hurry... everyone's in a hurry today.
One needs to stop and feel the ice beneath one's feet!
Ah, there you are, my little beauty!
Behold!
The Meltmeister!
How does it work?
Effortlessly.
Just switch it on...
and pass it over whatever is frozen.
I'm proud to say, the melting is instantaneous!
Go!
Unfreeze our Emperor!
Thanks, Furgie!
Let's go!
I catch a couple of sturgeon, Hacker's favorite fish,
fry em up and bam!
I'm second in command.
Contest over!
Not so fast, Buzzie.
When the boss sees this ice sculpture I carved in his
honor, he's gonna make me second in command!
Hey!
It's the earthbrats!
I better tell the boss!
Wait!
I think I hooked one!
Whoa!
Hey, whoa!
Dee-dee!
WHOAAAA...!
Oh brave Hacker oh Hacker the brave...
BOOOOOOOOOSSSSSSSSSSS...
Get this thing off me!
Boss... I mean Your Emperortude!
It's the earthbrats!
They're here!
Earthbrats?
Here?
Yeah!
They came out of this igloo on the other side of the lake!
Igloo?
What igloo?
Who lives in the igloo on the other side of the lake!
Um... would you like another song?
The only song I want to hear is about who lives
in that Igloo!
Um... F-F-Furgie?
And who might Furgie be?
Um... nobody important!
Nobody important?
Furgie's only the best inventor in all of Penguia.
Won the Snowbelle Prize she did!
An inventor, eh?
Yep!
And I just bet she's got an invention to unfreeze
the Emperor.
Which means those earthbrats are on their way to the
Emperor to ruin my plans!
Um... Your Emperorness?
What?
I'll stop them.
I'll show you I deserve to be your second in command.
No, I'll stop 'em, boss!
I don't care which one of you stops them ... JUST STOP THEM!
Yes, boss!
The storm's heading right for us!
As the future number two in command,
I think we should use a big rock instead.
You're not number two yet!
I like the snowball.
Here they come!
PUSH!
You hear something?
A GIANT SNOWBALL!
Aaaaaaaaaah!
Man, that was close!
Look!
Up there!
It's Buzz and Delete!
Hacker's onto us!
Let's go!
Storm hit Snowville at three o'clock...
hit us at three-fifteen.
What are you doing?
I always log in the storms.
They go from one town to the next pretty fast.
That could be trouble!
We better find out which way it's heading.
Let's see.
The storm started here in Snowville...
Now it's here in Penguin Village.
Oh-oh... this is not good at all.
Look!
If the storm keeps going in this direction... it could run
smack into Matt and Jackie!
A barricade would be much more effective.
Are you second-guessing the second in command?
You're not second in command yet!
I will be.
TIMMMMM-BERRRRRRRR!
No way those earth kids are gonna reach the Emperor now!
Heh-heh.
Here they come!
Matt!
Pull up!
The bridge is down!
Whoa... whoa!
How are we going to get across?
Hang on.
So what'd you tell 'im?
I said if he jumps the chasm, I'll give him a treat.
Huh?
Hey, it works with my dog.
Okay...
I think we can make it.
Let's go, guys!
Hyahh!
WHA-HOOOOO!
All right!
The boss isn't gonna be happy about this!
The storm's passed through... but which way is it going?
Let's see... the next town is Icebergberg.
Didge, it's me.
We need your help.
Where's the storm now?
In by head.
It beels like a tornado.
Ah, Didge, I know you feel lousy,
but Operation Save The Emperor hangs in the balance.
Where's the storm now?
Hold on, I'll bind out.
The worst storm of the season continues its snowy march
across Penguia.
It just hit Icebergberg!
They're snowed in!
Icebergberg just got dusted - big time!
I hear ya, Didge!
Thanks, Didge.
Let us know where it hits next!
Roger!
AH-AH-AH-CHOOO!
Storm reached Icebergberg at...
three-thirty!
But is it heading for Matt and Jackie or not?
Okay, what do we know?
The storm hit here first... in Snowville.
then passed over Penguin Village.
Then continued on to Icebergberg.
So, here's the track of the storm so far.
A straight line!
Oh no!
Just like we thought!
If the storm keeps going the way it has,
it's going to hit...
Powder Pass!
Which means Matt and Jackie won't be able to get through
to save the Emperor!
Okay, okay, hold on.
Let's not jump to conclusions.
We don't know for sure if the storm will continue in the
same direction.
We need a way to know if it's moving on a straight path.
How?
Check it out.
If it stays on course, the next town along
the storm track is...
Wintervale!
If the storm hits there... it's moving on a straight path
and Powder Pass is next!
Ahhhh! It's good to be Emperor.
Inez!
The storm just reached Wintervale!
AH-CHOO!
Call you back.
Wintervale just got blasted!
The question is, do Matt and Jackie have enough time to
make it to the Pass before the storm gets there?
If they don't, the Emperor will be frozen... forever!
Matt... Jackie... where are you?
We're nearing Pine Tree Trail... then it's on
to Powder Pass.
What's up?
There's a big storm heading your way.
You've got to get through the Pass before it hits—or you
won't be able to reach the Emperor in time!
Inez!
When will the storm reach the Pass?
We're working on that now.
Just hurry!
Once this tree falls and blocks the path,
those Earthbrats will never reach the Emperor!
And I mean never!
You sure this is gonna work?
Of course it's gonna work!
That's why the boss is gonna make me second in command!
Uh-oh!
Buzzy... Buzzy... you okay?
Maybe you should be second in command.
Hoo boy.
The storm passed through Snowville at three o'clock.
What about Penguin Village?
Three fifteen!
OK.
Icebergberg at three thirty... and Wintervale at
three-forty-five!
Hey!
I just noticed something.
The storm reached us in Penguin Village fifteen
minutes after it hit Snowville!
Then fifteen minutes after that, it hit Icebergberg...
And Wintervale in another fifteen!
I see where you're going.
It took the same amount of time for the storm to get to
each town - fifteen minutes!
Exactly!
And it looks like the towns are each
the same distance apart.
We can find out for sure by using the scale on the map.
That's five cybermiles... So it's five cybermiles from
Snowville to Penguin Village...
And the same distance between Penguin village and
Icebergberg.
And look!
From Icebergberg to Wintervale is five cybermiles, too!
Cool!
If the storm keeps moving five cybermiles every fifteen
minutes, all we have to do is measure the distance from
Wintervale to Powder Pass to find out what time the storm
will get there!
Five...
ten.
Powder Pass is ten cybermiles beyond Wintervale.
Twice the distance as the others.
So the storm will take twice as long to get there.
Thirty minutes instead of fifteen.
Okay.
The storm hit Wintervale at three forty five.
Three forty-five plus fifteen minutes is four o'clock...
plus another fifteen minutes... is four-fifteen!
So we can predict that the storm will reach the Pass at
about four fifteen.
And that's when they have to un-freeze the Emperor too!
It's four o'clock now!
We're running out of time!
Matt! Jackie! We figured it out!
You only have fifteen minutes to get across the Pass before
the storm hits!
And to save the Emperor too!
Got it! We're almost at there now!
Somehow I just knew those two duncebuckets would fail me!
Powder Pass is this way!
Hurry, Matt!
Hyaah!
Perfect... PERFECT!
I'm so good I could be my own second in command!
We should be at the Pass by now.
Where are we?
I don't know.
The map doesn't say anything about the trail to the Pass
going through things like these.
But that sign pointed right this way.
HACKER!
Inez!
We need help!
We think we took a wrong turn into some kind
of icy tree thingies!
The Ice Forest!
You've only got five minutes - there's no time to go back!
What are we going to do!
Wait!
There's a short cut across the Green River.
It should be frozen by now.
Do you see it on the map?
Yes, I found it!
We're on our way!
GO... GO!
Look! The Green River!
And there's the Emperor!
Only one problem: the river's not totally frozen.
How are we going to get across?
With this!
PUUUUSH...!
All right!
Whoo!
Inez!
We made it!
We're at Frigid Fields!
You're almost out of time!
Melt 'im, Jax!
We're unfreezing the Emperor now!
Matt...
It's not working!
Maybe we're too late!
Huh uh.
I did not come all this way to be too late!
Meltmeister, do your stuff!
Jax, he's dripping!
Yes!
Emperor Penguia, are you OK?
My oh my, that was one cold nap!
Game over!
Operation Save The Emperor is a success!
Yes!
Woo hoo!
By the way...
the storm's hitting Powder Pass right now!
Just like you predicted!
With all this snow, there's no way those Earthbrats got
through the Pass.
You're right.
Let's go back to the Palace and tell the boss he's still
the Emperor.
He'll probably make me number two in command right away.
No way!
I'm gonna be number two!
You said I could!
You can be number three!
Oh!
Or four!
Four's good.
Buzz?
Delete?
Dah! Grrr...
We did it, Motherboard!
We saved the Emperor - and saved Penguia from Hacker!
We did indeed, Digit.
Now finish your soup.
Do I have to?
You want to get rid of your cold...
don't you?
I'm fine, really.
I don't need anymore soup.
I never felt better in my life!
AH-CHOOO!
Stay right where you are.
It's CyberChase For Real.
I'm going camping.
Sometimes you just have to leave the city and...
and get back to nature.
No TV, no video games, just catch up on my reading.
Oh, Just in case, I have my GPS so I don't get lost,
my trusty flashlight,
and my first aid kit.
Be Prepared — that's my motto.
My book...
I left my books at home.
Now, what am I going to do?
It's my friend Janice the meteorologist.
News4 New York has been tracking a fast moving
thunder storm with high winds and lots of rain.
Right now, it's on a Northeast track traveling
at about 30 miles per hour.
Now, according to where it is on the map right now,
we predict it will be over our area in the next 2-5 minutes.
Hello Janice, it's Harry.
Hi, Harry. What's wrong?
I'm, I'm camping.
No. I'm, I'm in a car.
I mean I'm in a car and I'm in a storm.
Oh, if you're in a car you're safe.
No, you don't understand,
I'm REALLY, REALLY afraid of storms!
Oh, where are you?
In the car.
Where is the car?
I don't know, near the woods.
Wait hold on.
Um, 40 degrees 42 minutes north.
73 degrees 50 minutes west.
Oh, I see where you are.
Stand by.. 10 seconds.
Oh, Harry, I have to do a live update, stay put.
That fast moving storm we've been tracking
is moving directly over our area as predicted.
Now, you should remain indoors.
But, if you happen to be in your car, in the woods somewhere,
and you're "really, really" afraid of storms,
just sit tight.
The weather data shows it will be passing over us
and ending in just a couple of minutes.
As a matter of fact, it might be clearing
in your area right now.
