<Matt> COME ON, GUYS - THINK!
WHAT DO WE KNOW?
WE KNOW THAT EACH MUSICIAN PLAYS THEIR OWN SOUND PATTERN OVER AND OVER.
<Jackie> AND WITHOUT THE BEAST, THEIR PARTS DON'T SEEM TO FIT TOGETHER HIS DRUM PART MUST BE THE PATTERN THEY ALL DEPEND ON OR THEY WOULDN'T SOUND SO BAD WITHOUT HIM!
BUT HOW DO WE FIGURE OUT WHAT THAT PATTERN IS?
<Matt> BACK TO THE CHART!
I'LL MARK EACH BEAT IN THE PATTERN WITH A NUMBER.
SO NOW WHAT DO WE KNOW?
<Inez> WE KNOW THE BEAST STARTS PLAYING ON THE FIRST BEAT.
<Jackie> AND WE ALSO KNOW HE PLAYS ON THE 12TH BEAT WITH THE OTHERS - HIMEROPA TOLD ME.
<Inez> LOOK!
NO ONE PLAYS ON THE FIFTH, SEVENTH OR ELEVENTH BEATS - MAYBE THE BEAST PLAYS THERE, TOO.
<Jackie> I THINK WE'RE GETTING SOMEWHERE.
LET'S HEAR WHAT IT SOUNDS LIKE WITH THE REAL INSTRUMENTS!
INEZ, YOU PLAY THE DRUMS FOR THE BEAST.
ME?
OH, WHY ME?
DESPERATE TIMES CALL FOR DESPERATE MEASURES.
WHO SAID THAT?
YOU DID!
AH?
NO GOOD?
WELL, I GUESS THAT WASN'T THE RIGHT PATTERN.
NO WONDER IT DIDN'T WORK!
LOOK, THE DRUM DOESN'T HAVE A REGULAR PATTERN LIKE THE OTHERS!
DON'T YOU SEE?
I'M NOT SURE.
JACKIE'S RIGHT!
WE NEED TO FIND A PATTERN FOR THE BEAST THAT REPEATS.
SOMETHING SIMPLE - SOMETHING THAT HELPS THE OTHERS PLAY.
REMEMBER WHEN WE SAW THE VIDEO OF THE BAND?
HOW I WAS TAPPING MY FOOT?
<Matt> YEAH, AND I WAS SNAPPING MY FINGERS.
<Inez> AND I WAS TRYING TO CLAP.
WHAT'S YOUR POINT, JAX?
WHAT WAS THE PATTERN WHEN I TAPPED MY FOOT?
BEATS ME.
<Jackie> EXACTLY!
A SIMPLE, STEADY BEAT!
WATCH.
THE SAME BEAT, OVER AND OVER.
ONE, ONE , ONE, ONE.
SO ARE YOU SAYING THE BEAST PLAYS ON EVERY BEAT?
I THINK SO.
THEY ALL STARTED OFF TOGETHER!
<Inez> BUT THAT PATTERN SOUNDS SO SIMPLE.
<Matt> LET'S CHART IT!
TOUCHDOWN!
ALL THE PATTERNS FIT TOGETHER.
<Jackie> AND LOOK!
YOU CAN REPEAT THE SONG AFTER 12 BEATS.
THAT'S GOT TO BE IT!
THE BEAT OF THE BEAST'S SIMPLE PATTERN KEEPS THE OTHER THREE TOGETHER.
LET'S PLAY IT ON THE BIG BOARD AND SEE WHAT WE'VE GOT.
<Apollo> THERE'S NO MORE TIME TO EXPERIMENT.
WE'VE GOT TO PLAY NOW!
<Inez> BUT... <Himeropa> C'MON, INEZ, I'LL FIND SOMETHING FOR YOU TO WEAR.
<Inez> BUT... (MUSIC) <Hacker> ONLY A FEW MORE MINUTES TILL SUNSET.
THEN CYBER-CHAOS!
<Digit> GUESS AGAIN, HACKER!
<Both> DIGIT??!
<MC> AND SO TONIGHT WE HAVE A SPECIAL TREAT!
GIVE IT UP FOR THE EARTH GIRL WITH THE GLASSES: INEZ!
THIS IS NOT GOOD - THIS IS NOT GOOD AT ALL.
<Digit> DON'T YOU SEE WHAT HACKER'S TRYING TO DO?
IF YOU DON'T PLAY WITH YOUR BAND, MOUNT OLYMPUS WILL BE THROWN INTO CHAOS!
<Hacker> LISTEN TO ME, BEAST.
I'M GOING TO MAKE YOU A STAR!
STARTING IN CASTLEBLANCA TOMORROW NIGHT!
<Digit> NO, HE ISN'T!
HE'S LYING TO YOU SO HE CAN WRECK THIS CYBERSITE!
GET HIM!
ASK HIM WHERE IN CASTLEBLANCA YOU'RE GOING TO PLAY.
ASK HIM!
WHERE IN CASTLEBLANCA AM I GOING TO PLAY?
WHERE?
WELL, I UH...
SEE?!
HE DOESN'T HAVE A CLUE!
I KNOW THAT THE BAND TREATED YOU BADLY.
BUT THEY WON'T TAKE YOU FOR GRANTED ANYMORE!
THEY NEED YOU!
CYBERSPACE NEEDS YOU!
ENOUGH!
LET THE CHAOS COMMENCE!
ADMIT IT, YOU FAUX-FEATHERED FOWL, YOU'VE LOST!
OH, MOMMA... <Digit> OUTTA THE WAY, RABBIT EARS!
<Hacker> GO AHEAD AND PLAY!
BUT YOU'RE TOO LATE!
SOON THE HACKER WILL BE THE KING OF CYBERSPACE!
<Zeus> SILENCE!
<Digit> GET HIM, ZEUSIE!
<Zeus> (LAUGHS) I HOPE I CAN DO THIS, GUYS.
YOU CAN DO IT, INEZ!
JUST FOLLOW YOUR INNER MUSE!
OK!
AND YOU JUST FOLLOW MY BEAT!
OH, NO!
I LOST THE PATTERN OF THE BEAT!
<Matt> TRY AGAIN, INEZ!
IT'S YOUR DRUM THAT'S KEEPING EVERYONE TOGETHER!
<Jackie> JUST REMEMBER, PLAY ON EVERY BEAT!
ONE-ONE-ONE-ONE!
OKAY, GUYS, ONE MORE TIME!
ON THE BEAT.
<MC> THE BEAST HAS RETURNED!
STOP THE MUSIC!
YOU SURE YOU STILL NEED ME?
YOU BET WE DO, BEAST!
LET'S ROCK THIS JOINT!
ACTUALLY, LET'S SEE IF WE CAN STOP THE ROCKING.
HIT IT!
THEY'RE PLAYING TOGETHER!
THE PATTERNS ARE WORKING!
<Matt> AND THE SHAKING STOPPED!
YES!!!
<Jackie> YOU DID IT, INEZ!
<Hacker> YOU CAN BEAT THOSE DRUMS, YOU CONNIVING KIDS, BUT YOU'LL NEVER BEAT ME!
OH YES WE WILL, HACKER!
WE'LL BEAT YOU EVERY TIME!
YOU CAN COUNT ON THAT!
