ReBoot: The Guardian Code (2018) s01e06 Episode Script

Emotional Rescue

1 [dance music playing.]
It's good, right? Sick beats.
You find the best music, Tamra.
[music continues.]
What do you think, Vera? The 16 bar introduction effectively established the melodic progression of the unrelenting percussion, which is both insidious and pleasant.
Totally.
But doesn't it make you wanna dance? No.
I am not driven by that compulsion.
Oh, come on, Vera.
I bet you got some moves.
Or not.
It seems my programming does not allow for adequate interpretation of music through movement.
Well, everybody's programmed differently.
It's more of a feel thing, you know? A feel thing? As in an emotional response.
Yeah, I guess so.
Alyx, stop the music.
[Alyx voice on phone.]
Music is stopped, Tamra.
What else can I help you with? Nothing right now.
Thanks, Alyx.
This will require additional research.
Enjoy your lunch.
- Where is she going? - Dance lessons? [both laugh.]
Hey.
Kale chips, please.
Sentinels! Target the transaction relay.
[exploding.]
Declined! Declined! My card's declined? I guess no kale chips for me.
I tried to be healthy.
Teenage emotion plug-in installation complete.
[happy music plays.]
Whoa.
Cool.
[sad music plays.]
[energetic music plays.]
- [scary music plays.]
- [shuddering.]
[intense music plays.]
[happy music plays.]
That feels much better.
Uh-oh.
It's Megabyte.
I have to contact the guardians.
[laughs.]
[shooters blasting.]
[laughing.]
Excellent.
Control of this site is mine.
You're not done yet, Megabyte.
We're just beginning, getting started.
This is only step one.
The anti-virus protocols will kick in any minute.
I am well aware.
My forces are armed and ready.
They better be.
No mistakes.
No margin for error.
Global Village Bank is going to come crashing down.
[shooters blasting.]
Anti-virus protocols.
Such amateurs.
They are no match for my sentinel army.
[typing.]
Where did that come from? Seems like a viral attack at the Global Village Bank's bank transaction terminal.
Did you crawl here? Let's go! Let's go! Megabyte is attacking Global Village Bank.
Global Village? That's my bank.
[Trey.]
Mine, too.
And I just deposited the check my grandma gave me for my birthday.
What would Megabyte want with a bank? I don t know! How am I supposed to know? You always expect me to know everything! Get moving! Okay.
Okay.
And remember, whatever happens, I'll always love you.
Now go.
Man, what's gotten into Vera? Good question.
She said she loves me.
I mean us.
That's the important thing, right? - Yeah.
- Hey.
That's it.
Something's going on that she's not telling us.
[Vera over intercom.]
I can hear you, you know.
Okay, so why are you acting so un-Vera-like? I coded a teenage emotion plug-in and installed it into my internal systems, alright? Why? To enhance my emotions.
I'm trying to feel as human as is non-humanly possible.
Now, get off my back! Whoa.
How about you dial back those emotions a bit? How about you mind your own business? [Vector.]
Okay, look.
Let's focus here.
We'll come in hot and send Megadork and his cyber goons running with their tails between their legs.
[giggling.]
Megadork.
[giggling.]
You re so funny, Vector.
Vera, you gotta pull it together.
This is serious.
You hate me.
You hate me.
You hate me.
You hate me.
You hate me.
We don t hate you, Vera.
Maybe music will help your mood swings.
Alyx, play Good Vibes playlist.
[Alyx.]
Playing "Good Vibes" playlist.
[upbeat music plays.]
Okay, so you good, Vera? I'm fantastic.
Now go stop Megadork.
[giggles.]
There he is.
Old Megadork himself.
And he's got a whole lot of sentinels with him.
They must have fixed the replicator in the fortress.
I could've sworn I took it out for good.
We'll worry about that later.
Let's move.
Mag Frag! What happened here? Megabyte destroyed the transaction relay.
Global Village Bank customers are locked out.
No kidding.
Dude owes me a bag of kale chips.
Ha! Guardians! Sentinels, do not allow them to interfere.
Code disruptor! [blasting.]
Frag Fists! [music playing.]
[sad music plays.]
[typing.]
[reporter on TV.]
And now this breaking news bulletin.
Global Village Bank officials claim it's just a temporary system malfunction but other sources suggest, it could be the start of a much more serious problem.
One that could lead to millions of customers losing their life savings.
Yes.
That's the idea.
The point, the purpose.
Now, to break into the bank's vault.
Look, a dark code rift.
We should have known Megabyte was working with the Sourcerer.
[typing.]
[laughing.]
Go.
Wait.
Now there's dark code.
Whoa.
What is that? It's a cyber worm.
Malware.
Scary stuff.
It doesn't look so scary to me.
[hissing.]
Ugh, I take that back! [screeching.]
[screeching.]
Whoa.
He plowed through that like it was nothing.
Vera, what's down there? Vera? Vera? We need an update.
The worm is headed into the bank's internal vault.
If it gets inside it will wipe out the entire system.
All the bank's customers will lose their money for good.
[sobbing.]
You need to keep it together, Vera.
But this song is just so sad! Oh, man, my music must be stuck on shuffle.
Alyx, stop the music.
Alyx? Alyx? Stop music! Great.
Now Alyx isn't responding.
[grunts.]
It's that code again.
Guardians.
Of course.
You will not stand in the way of my plans.
[chuckling.]
Keep fighting off the sentinels.
I'm going after that worm.
Zip board! Say goodbye, guardian! - Goodbye! - Argh! This'll come in handy.
[screeching.]
Hey wormy! Looks like it's the end of the line.
An obstacle.
A barrier.
An obstruction.
But it's not gonna stop me.
[typing.]
No way! [screeching.]
Okay, I got this.
[grunts.]
That worm can't get away from me that easy.
[sad music playing.]
[music changes to rock.]
Hey, guys.
I'm down to 25 percent power.
Yeah, me too.
Deflector ring! Hey, Vera, we re extremely outnumbered and running low.
Vera.
Hello? Vera, can you help us out? I have just the thing.
[rock music plays.]
The Codec has weapons? It does now! [screaming.]
[laughing.]
Yes! That's awesome, Vera.
Defensive formation! Protect me at all costs! - Whoo! - Yeah! Sweet! [Frag.]
Uh-oh.
Firewall! Stop right there, drill face.
[screeching.]
Whoa! Okay, so you wanna play rough.
Sweet! Two worms are better than one.
[typing.]
Oh, so that didn't work out so well.
Not a good place to stand! Whoa! No.
Undo, undo! The guardian code will not prevent me, stop me! I will complete what I started.
[screeching.]
I hope you're still hungry.
[exploding.]
Oh, yes! No! No! [yelling.]
No! [Coogz.]
Does she not see us? She's out of control! The scales have been tipped in the guardians favor, but revenge will be mine another time.
Sentinels, retreat! Is it safe to come out? I think so.
So how did you like the weapons upgrade on the Codec? We would have liked them a lot better if you'd have waited until we were clear.
What do you mean? You almost took us out, Vera.
Like, for real.
Yeah, that was crazy close.
Not cool.
Oh, I didn't realize.
Here come the binomes to get the site running again.
[Coogz.]
Here comes Vector.
Hey, guys.
What happened to the worm? Not worm, worms.
You could say I divided and conquered.
So we stopped the hack? I can use my bank card for kale chips again? Yep.
Mission accomplished.
Right, Vera? Vera? Everything okay? [Vera.]
Yes, I'll be fine.
I'm very relieved that you are all okay.
Would now be an appropriate time for a hug? Definitely! What happened back there, Vera? You were kind of out of control.
I was.
That is something that I've never felt before.
Maybe that teenage emotional plug-in wasn't the best idea? I agree.
That is why I deleted it.
I'm very sorry that I inadvertently put you all in danger.
It's okay.
We're fine, right? We are now.
You made a mistake, Vera.
There's nothing more human than that.
I found the experience exhausting.
One second, happy.
Then sad.
Then angry.
Is that what it's like to be a teenager? Uh, pretty much.
You just have to learn to manage your emotions.
Without any plug-ins.
Yes.
I think it is best that I deepen my emotional understanding at a more gradual pace.
It's also good to have an outlet.
A way to deal with the things you feel inside? That's one of the reasons I started vlogging.
Shooting hoops.
That's my thing.
I snowboard.
I hug.
Easy, lover boy.
Perhaps my outlet can be dancing.
Alyx, play Never Change.
[Alyx.]
Playing Never Change.
[music begins.]
I'll never change Like a sun that comes after the rain I'll never, never, never Change my way I'll never, never, never Would you like to join? [dance music begins.]
- Special Agent Nance.
- What is it, Tuck? Dark code.
It was detected at the Global Village Bank hack.
Dark code? Again? The Sourcerer.
We couldn't trace the origin.
That's because he's using a Nova X3J prototype he stole from Pogo Computer Systems.
It makes our job much more challenging.
How did you terminate his infiltration into the bank's vault? We didn't.
It just stopped.
Stopped? How? We couldn't figure that out yet.
But there's something else.
We picked up the presence of this code.
It's the same signature we isolated at the Pogo security breach.
That must be connected to the Sourcerer.
Keep tracking it and stay on the look out for more dark code.
I have a feeling the Sourcerer is just getting started.
I said no margin for error, Megabyte.
Yes, an unfortunate miscalculation.
Your army is pathetic.
Inept.
Weak.
I am replenishing their ranks, adding greater resiliency.
More sentinels isn't the answer.
Maybe what I need is more Megabytes.
Yes.
An army of Megabytes.
