ReBoot: The Guardian Code (2018) s02e07 Episode Script

Mega-Viral

- [Megabyte.]
Inadequate.
- [firing.]
Sub-par.
Deficient.
Disappointing.
We cannot afford any weak links, Alpha Sentinel.
Do you understand? [Alpha Sentinel.]
Yes, Megabyte.
Only the best of the best.
And that starts with a new Alpha Sentinel.
A new era begins.
I am finally free to infect and corrupt as I please.
[laughing maniacally.]
[Sourcerer.]
Alan Turing High.
A tech-forward school in the Pacific Northwest.
If the Guardians are just a bunch of bratty teenagers, getting their tech will be easy.
They won't know what hit them.
There.
That's it.
Once I have the Guardian code and can infect Cyber Space from within, I'll be invincible.
[clicks tongue.]
Unstoppable.
Businesses, communications, entire economies will collapse.
And all humanity will feel the pain of my power.
Alan Turing High.
That's where I must go.
Yes.
["Hurry Up" playing.]
[Trey.]
Hey, check it out.
I have 150 likes.
Sweet.
- That's not bad, right? - For sure.
I mean, what's not to like? It's you doing what you do best.
If only you could add a few clips of D-Frag in full bash-tagger mode.
That would stand out with college recruiters.
Isn't it a bit early to be thinking about college? [sighing.]
According to my dad, it's never too early.
And let's face it.
It's not like the Codebreakers are on a lot of recruiters' radar.
But the Codebreakers are winning this year because of you.
That's gotta make a difference.
[Parker.]
Not much of a difference.
This guy Sean, he's the best player on Lake View's basketball team, but his stats aren't even as good as Trey's.
But his profile got uploaded to Up Send.
100,000 likes.
Based on his Internet popularity, Sean has a 10,000 percent greater chance of recruitment than you do, Trey.
[Parker.]
Whoa.
That's harsh.
Yeah.
Not helping.
No, Vera's right.
Recruiters don't come looking for players at a brainy school like this.
But will being social media famous help your chances of getting a basketball scholarship? Yes.
I mean, social media status counts for a lot.
It can have a huge influence on the way recruiters see you.
That's why I gotta make some noise.
Find a way to start trending.
It's my best chance at getting some serious attention.
[Megabyte.]
There it is.
Social Media City.
The nexus of all cyber communication.
A perfect base of power and influence.
From here my rule shall commence.
Lead the charge, Alpha Sentinel! [Alpha Sentinel.]
As you wish, Megabyte.
Sentinels, attack! Set up the perimeter blockade.
Be gone, pest.
Time to control the broadcast.
[laughing maniacally.]
And so it begins.
Soon I will reign supreme throughout this cyber-verse and all will bow down before me.
[laughing maniacally.]
Okay, so what can I do to boost my online popularity? My research suggests extreme stunts that backfire or a toddler smearing food all over its face and repeating a ridiculous phrase, or a cat playing a piano, attract the most attention online.
[chuckles.]
Okay, well, that's not gonna work.
I'm not about gimmicks.
I want recruiters to see what I can do on the court.
We just need to show them where to find me.
What if I uploaded a post to Up Send? You know, like that Sean dude did.
Would you be able to maybe bump up the likes, get a buzz going? Up Send has the greatest reach of all the file sharing sites, so theoretically, a well-constructed algorithm would trigger a flood of artificial support.
Yeah, artificial support.
That's what I'm talking about.
Your post would be passed on automatically, rapidly creating the illusion of far more views than actually attained.
Sweet.
I'd be trending in no time.
Let's do it.
Are you certain? I gotta do something.
And you don't mind cheating? It's not cheating, Vera.
It's helping.
I need to take advantage of any advantage I can get, right? I thought you wanted recruiters to respect you for your playing ability.
I do.
But they can't respect me if they don't know I exist.
I'll prepare a post, you get the algorithm going.
It's already done.
Right.
Of course.
But we'll have to deal with this first.
Megabyte is in Social Media City.
Whoa.
Yes, he is.
[laughing maniacally.]
- [laughing maniacally.]
- [indistinct chatter.]
What's the situation? The Megabyte virus is corrupting social media sites and projecting this strange image.
I'm preparing anti-virus countermeasures.
Wait, hold off on that.
What? Why? Are there any traces of the Sourcerer's dark code? No, but that doesn't mean he isn't behind this.
If he's using the Nova X3J, he could be disguising his code.
So keep investigating.
If we let it play out a bit more, you might be able to expose him.
[man on radio.]
Social media under siege.
Rumors are swirling that the Megabyte virus attacking social media sites is the work of the notorious hacker known as the Sourcerer.
[Enigma.]
Check it out.
Megabyte is the face of Cyber Space.
[Vector.]
Not the best poster boy if you ask me.
[D-Frag.]
Yeah, but look at that reach.
Maybe that's what I need to do.
If I could access Up Send from inside the Net, that would be an awesome advantage.
[Vector.]
Dude, this isn't about you getting the attention of college basketball recruiters.
We have to stop Megabyte.
[Enigma.]
He's popping up on millions of people's phones and computers.
[Googz.]
And if he continues at this rate not just social media, but all of Cyber Space will be corrupted.
[Trey.]
Okay, I get it.
Let's go take Megacreep down.
[Enigma grunting.]
- [Vector.]
I hope this plan works.
- [Googz.]
Oh, it's working.
[Enigma grunts.]
- [D-Frag.]
Sweet moves, Enigma.
- Thanks.
I've been working on that roundhouse twist kick.
[Googz.]
Hey, but weren't you supposed to leave one sentinel? [Enigma.]
Oh, right.
I guess I got carried away.
[Vector.]
No worries.
Here comes another one.
Code disruptor! Okay, Googz.
You're on.
[Enigma.]
You sure you can hack and clone together? Yeah, it's a simple modification.
- [D-Frag.]
You need this guy anymore? - [Vector.]
Nope.
- He's past his best-before date.
- Okay.
Frag fist.
Thanks for your help.
[Googz.]
That should make it look like everything's normal on deck.
[Enigma.]
We're about to find out.
[Vector.]
Get out of sight! Nice one, Googz.
It worked perfectly.
[D-Frag.]
All right, now we just need to get this thing closer to Social Media City.
[Alpha Sentinel.]
Megabyte, we caught this share binome.
It refuses to submit to your corruption.
Oh, how noble.
What could be so important it is worth being deleted for? [news anchor.]
The latest to be infected is PicSwif, a popular photo sharing site.
If this continues, the entire Internet will be under hostile control in a matter of hours.
Can no one stop the Megabyte virus? It seems I've become quite the sensation.
Not just here, but in the Users' world.
[Alpha Sentinel.]
Shall we delete the share binome, Megabyte? No, leave him with me.
I am curious to learn more about how the Users fear me.
I never imagined how utterly satisfying multi-world domination could feel.
[laughing maniacally.]
[Vector.]
Stay sharp.
We're getting close.
[Enigma.]
So far, so good.
Googz's sentinel clones are doing the trick.
- [Googz.]
Uh-oh.
- [Vector.]
What is it? [Googz.]
My clone-hack combo power is abou To run out.
[Vector.]
We've been spotted! Code disruptor! [Enigma.]
Great.
Now it's a party and all the sentinels are invited.
Energy shurikens! [D-Frag.]
Cyber shield! [blasting.]
Hey, Vera, our cover's blown.
We're gonna need some help.
The Codec's weapons are hot and ready.
Coming through.
[blasting.]
[Enigma.]
We gotta bail, now! [Vector.]
Abandon ship! Users, I am Megabyte! Your social media is under my control.
And you will bow down before me! I am Megabyte! Your social media is under my control.
And you will bow down before me! [Vera.]
I cannot let that happen.
Ah, the Guardians are attempting to spoil my fun.
How cute.
But they will not make it past my sentinel army.
[Vector.]
Okay, while Vera keeps them busy up there, we'll take care of business in Trend Square.
[Googz.]
I got my virus extraction tools set to go.
Good.
Enigma, you come with me and Googz.
D-Frag, you draw Megadolt away from the main control station.
[D-Frag.]
You got it.
Been wanting to go one-on-one again with that bad boy for a while.
[Enigma.]
Be careful.
He's looking very confident.
[D-Frag.]
Don't worry, I'm used to being the underdog.
I got this.
Frag fists! Oh, yeah! [man on radio.]
The Megabyte virus continues to wreak havoc.
A strange pop-up image is clogging most social media sites and making a threatening claim.
Here's a clip.
[over radio.]
Users, I am Megabyte! Your social media is under my control! Megabyte in this world? Who does he think he is? [man on radio.]
The Sourcerer was once believed to be orchestrating this devious attack, although experts no longer feel he is involved.
But whoever is behind the Megabyte corruption of social media, has shown they are in the Sourcerer's league.
In my league? Megabyte? Never! [man on radio.]
Megabyte virus prevents anyone from using the links and pages that have become part of our daily lives.
- If this threat is not - [radio clicks off.]
I'll show that virus.
I should never have removed his delete code.
Megabyte.
Megabyte! Megabyte! I'm blocked.
Shut out.
My vid-screen is offline.
The Megabyte virus is reaching mega proportions as social media sites continue to crash.
Experts fear the virus could spread to global communications if it remains unchecked.
Fair and balanced.
This is news I can trust.
Unlike all that fake news.
[Alpha Sentinel.]
Megabyte! You dare interrupt while I am receiving an update on my impact in the Users' world? What could be more important than that? A Guardian.
[D-Frag grunts.]
What are you waiting for? - Intercept him at once! - Yes, Megabyte.
Turbo jets! Not gonna stop me when I'm in the fragging zone.
Very bold, Guardian.
But this is my domain now.
[D-Frag.]
Whoa.
What's the matter? Can't live up to your own hype? I reign supreme, Guardian.
Even the User world knows that.
[D-Frag.]
Whoa.
Supreme? Give me a break.
I'm everywhere.
Look around.
[D-Frag.]
Not everywhere.
You didn't infect Up Send.
And if you're not sharing there, you're nobody.
Nobody? [groans.]
Did that feel like nobody? Ah, the Guardian was right.
My infection didn't make it to Up Send.
Well, that situation will soon be rectified.
[D-Frag.]
I've got Megabyte heading to Up Send.
You guys start extracting.
[Vector.]
Roger that, D-Frag.
We'll join you at Up Send as soon as we can.
[blasting.]
[Googz.]
I'm in position.
Firewall! Your social media is under my control, and you will bow down before me! 85% of all known sites are corrupted.
Surprisingly, it hasn't reached Up Send.
And no sign of dark code? None.
If we don't activate our countermeasures right now we may not be able to stop the Megabyte virus from spreading further.
Well, well.
Look at this.
The mystery code.
All right, do it.
[blasting.]
Guardians, the DIS ships are on their way into Social Media City! [Googz.]
Thanks for the heads-up, Vera, but I still got a lot of virus left to extract.
No, no, no! I wasn't done! [Vector.]
We gotta bounce or else we're gonna be done.
[Enigma.]
We're on our way to Up Send, D-Frag.
[D-Frag.]
Give up, Megadoorknob.
A low-grade virus like you will never trend.
[grunts.]
[clanging.]
We shall see about that! Whoa.
[groans.]
Once I am uploaded through Up Send, I will trend everywhere! I will be omnipresent in both worlds! The final piece of my plan is about to fall into place! [Vector.]
Falling into place sounds about right.
[Megabyte groans.]
Crash Up Send, Vera! [powering down.]
[exclaims.]
No! [Enigma.]
Yes, he's trapped! [Googz.]
We're taking away your sharing privileges.
[D-Frag.]
Now, let's get him to Virusylum.
[antivirus.]
Spread out and lock down this site.
[Vector.]
I think we better leave that to them.
That's the correct call, Vector.
Guardians, get back to the Codec immediately.
[D-Frag.]
Enjoy prison, loser.
I will have my revenge! [Sourcerer.]
In two days, I'll be in Quantum Heights.
In two days, the Guardians' tech will be mine and then what Megabyte is doing will seem like child's play compared to the damage I will cause.
Social media sites are once again clean and safe, or at least as clean and safe as they used to be.
One thing is certain, the Megabyte virus has been eliminated by the Department of Internet Security.
At least they were actually involved this time.
Hey, we gift-wrapped Megabyte for the DIS.
We know we got the assist, even if no one else does.
It doesn't bother you that we have to fly under the radar? I thought you were all about getting attention.
I was.
So you don't want me to artificially boost your online popularity? No.
That's not how I roll.
I I wasn't thinking straight earlier.
But you'd be giving up hundreds of thousands of free likes.
Fake likes.
I'll just keep doing my thing on the court.
Keep my page current, post my highlights.
And I can plug you on my vlog.
That might help a little.
That would actually be great.
Thanks.
Eventually, college recruiters will find out about you.
Yeah, even if you do play for a brainy nerd school.
At least I get to play.
[Megabyte.]
Let me out of here! Do you know who I am? I am Megabyte! [exclaims.]
I am the most feared virus ever coded! [growls.]
[Hexadecimal.]
Well, well, well.
Look what the cat dragged in.
- Hexadecimal.
- I heard they nabbed you.
Fitting you should end up here after the way you abandoned me.
I did no such thing.
You acted impulsively and brought your incarceration on yourself.
And you, brother, is that your sad story, too? I had it all, sister.
A new viral dawn was just beginning.
There, there.
Don't pout.
It's not a flattering look.
- Time is almost up, inmate.
- I know.
Now, go on.
There is a world beyond Cyber Space, Hexadecimal.
The User's world.
I was able to reach it and I will learn how to dominate it.
That sounds positively fiendish.
Yes.
I've tasted the future and I like it.
[Hexadecimal.]
Too bad you're trapped in this dreary place.
Such humiliation.
What would you say if I told you that could change? I'm listening.
I've learned a few things locked up in here.
Useful things I would be willing to share under one condition.
Name it.
[Hexadecimal.]
We are partners.
Equals.
[Megabyte grumbles.]
Partners.
I could do worse.
- Much worse, dear brother.
- [meowing.]
Much, much worse.
[Hexadecimal cackling.]
["Hurry Up" playing.]
