Discovery Education,
Connect to a world of learning.
Traitor: Please, you?re honorableness,
have mercy!
Borgia: Ha! What you have done is
beyond forgiveness.
You have, you have.
Machiavelli, what did he do again?
Machiavelli: He betrayed you to the
infamous Sforza family of Milan.
Borgia: Oh, right. You have betrayed me to
the infamous Sforza family of Milan.
Freddi: Ugh!
Joe: Whoa! Where are we?
Freddi: Florence, Italy, 1503.
The High Renaissance. Literature, painting,
and architecture are flourishing.
Jodi: Ugh! Someone tell those architects to
put in some air filters. This place stinks!
Freddi: It?s probably a sewage issue.
We can?t hold the Renaissance to twenty
second century standards of hygiene.
Man: Okay, okay! I?ll be right there!
I?m just throwing out the garbage!
Freddie: Eew! Ugh! Germs!
Jodi: We can?t hold the Renaissaince to
twenty second century standards of hygiene!
Joe: Hey! Who?s that?
Freddi: No clue!
Do you think we should help them out?
Jodi: Hello! Did you leave your brain
back in 2105?
That guy with the beard looks like bad news.
I say we bolt. Oops!
Borgia: Who are you?
Joe: Ugh, we?re not from around here.
Borgia: Where do you come from?
Joe: Uh, actually, I was just at the pizza parlor.
Borgia: Pisa? You're from the city of Pisa?
My forces are at war with Pisa!
Joe: No! That?s not what I said!
Borgia: Using children as spies.
Huh! Just like the Pisans.
Hagemon: Boss, Antonio got away.
Borgia: What? Do you have gelato for brains?
Well, at least I can kill their spies.
Say your prayers, Pisans!
[Screams]
[Song] Be careful what you wish for!
Go!
There they go,
three boys surfing on the time continuum.
There they go,
Green mist fills the air,
the book can take them anywhere!
Go!
There they go,
three girls warping time
it's 2105.
There they go,
you can catch a ride
with the Time Warp Trio.
Go!
Traveling through history
with the Time Warp Trio.
Go!
Joe: I know, I know.
It would?ve been a lot easier if I would?ve
just stayed to finish my lunch.
What a day. No homework, hot pizza,
and a brand new Dr. Mysterious comic book.
Jodi: Joe! You have to come with us!
Joe: Uh, what are you guys doing here?
Did they run out of pepperoni in 2105?
Freddi: Uh! This is terrible! This is terrible!
Joe: Uh, what?s terrible?
Jodi: Joe, we don?t have time for all of these
questions. Now, come on! Got the book, Freddi?
Freddi: I just hope we?re not too late!
Joe: Too late for what?
Jodi: Fourteen hundred, fifteen hundred.
Here we go!
Joe: Uh, at least tell me where you?re
taking me to!
I was still upset about missing lunch,
but now it looked like I was going to
be missing a whole lot more;
like the rest of my life!
Borgia: Which one of you would like
to die first?
Joe: Uh, excellent question! How about you
give us a couple of days to think it over,
and we?ll get back to you?
Borgia: You dare joke with me?
Joe: No, no, no! We?d never dare joke
with you! Who is he?
Borgia: I am Cesare Borgia,
Duke of Romagna and Valentinois.
Machiavelli: The brutal tyrant who?s
consolidating power in Italy by ruthlessly
murdering his enemies,
including his own brother.
Borgia: Hey!
Machiavelli: No, that?s good, my lord!
Remember, it is better to be
feared than to be loved.
Borgia: Well then. Yes, that?s me.
Now, prepare to die, Pisans!
Joe: Freddi, Jodi, duck!
Borgia: Ugh!
Jodi: Run!
Joe: You know, you still haven?t told me
why you needed to bring me here?
Jodi: Can we tell him?
Freddi: It might scare him.
Joe: You warped me away from a perfect
slice of pizza and a new comic book,
you almost get me killed by the duke of
whatever it?s called,
and now you?re worried about scaring me?
Freddi: Quick! Left!
Joe: Jodi? I need answers!
What are we doing here?
Freddi: They?re gaining!
Jodi: We?re looking for Leonardo da Vinci.
Joe: Uh, the artist?
Freddi: Artist, scientist, and
most importantly, inventor.
Jodi: Yeah. But we have to make sure that
he doesn?t invent something in particular.
Joe: Uh, hey! I thought we weren?t supposed
to interfere with history.
Jodi: Right! But we?re not supposed to let
anyone else interfere with history, either.
In here!
They?ll never chase us into a church.
Freddi: Oh, no way! They?d never do that!
Not a chance!
Borgia: Don?t run!
We?re in a church!
Traitor: Sorry, my lord!
Borgia: Don?t just stand there! Go get them!
Walking, Hageman, walking!
Joe: I say we run for it.
Freddi: We can?t! We?re in a church!
Jodi: Now we can run.
Freddi: We lost them!
Jodi: And look where we are.
Freddi: Uh! Here?
The great Leonardo da Vinci lives here?
Jodi: Do you know any other L. da Vinci?
Mona Lisa: May I help you?
Jodi: Excuse me.
We?re here to see Leonardo.
Da Vinci: I?m not home!
Mona Lisa: He?s not in right now.
Freddi: Um, it?s kind of important.
It?s about the integrity of the
space-time continuum.
Joe: You didn?t tell me that.
Mona Lisa: Sorry. Come back later.
Jodi: Wait! Actually, we?re apprentices who
have traveled miles to work in his studio.
da Vinci: Apprentices? Hey! Let them in!
Joe: Have we met somewhere before?
Mona Lisa: Were you at the coronation in
Nepal last winter?
Joe: Um, no.
Jodi: Joe, she?s the Mona Lisa!
The model for the most famous painting
in the world?
Joe: Oh yeah! I knew she looked familiar!
da Vinci: New apprentices, come in!
Sorry to keep you waiting.
Everyone wants to know
Is my painting ready yet, Leonardo?
When will you finish?
So, I?m a little careful when I open the door.
Jodi: Well, you do have quite a reputation.
da Vinci: And it?s not just paintings!
You know Cesare Borgia?
Freddi: Uh, yeah. We?ve heard of him. Why?
da Vinci: He wants me to make him
some weaponry.
I?m just a little behind schedule,
but whenever I see him,
he flies into a rage.
Joe: Wow! That?s a shocker!
Da Vinci: I see you?ve met
Senora del Giocondo.
Come see her portrait.
da Vinci: Don?t mind the clutter! A messy
workshop is a sign of genius, you know?
So tell me. What do you think?
Freddi: Wow! It sure looks like her.
Joe: What if you close your moth in
sort of a half smile.
Da Vinci: Yes, Yes! I like it very much!
Very mysterious!
You?ll make a fine apprentice.
Mona Lisa: Leonardo, I must go now.
da Vinci: Bene!
We will work on the portrait
again tomorrow.
Freddi: Hey! What?s this?
da Vinci: You like it? Let me show you!
Joe: Okay. So what?s all this about the
integrity of the space-time continuum?
Jodi: Joe, just relax!
Joe: Ugh! Relax?
You wisk me through five centuries
and two continents to preserve the existence
of the universe and then tell me to relax?
Jodi: It?s Mad Jack.
He?s come back through time because he
wants Leonardo to make him a book.
Joe: Why would he travel five hundred years
for a book?
Can?t he just go to a book store?
Jodi: Not a book, genius. The book!
Since he can?t get his hands on ours,
he wants Leonardo to make him
his own copy.
Joe: Oh, come on! I know da Vinci is
a genius and all,
but even he can?t put all of time and space
into one book.
da Vinci: So in a way, you can say
I have contained all of the universe here in
this one codex.
Freddie: Sweet!
da Vinci: In this drawing
lies the golden ratio;
nature?s secret code.
One magic number that explains our
mathematics, the human body,
the very fabric of the universe itself.
Joe: Haha!
Alright, maybe he can make another book.
Da Vinci: Now, let me show you my
most recent invention, eh?
Bring your friends!
Jodi: Wow!
Joe: Cool!
Freddi: You should paint it black
with red and orange racing stripes!
da Vinci: With this, man will have freedom
here thereto known only by the birds.
Well, bird and bats, and bugs too, I guess.
Jodi: I can?t believe you actually invented
a flying machine!
da Vinci: Most of my big inventions I keep
in my other workshop,
just outside of Florence.
But I wanted this one to be high up because
soon I will test it.
Freddi: Can we test it now?
da Vinci: Oh, no! Now, it?s not finished yet!
If we tried it right now,
we?d probably end up
splattered on the ground.
But enough about me!
My new apprentices must be
hungry for lunch.
Joe: Can I have some more of that cheese?
Jodi: So. Senor Leonardo, have you had any
unusual visitors lately?
da Vinci: Oh, I can?t keep track of all of the
artists and noblemen who want to see me!
Haha! But, there was this one
peculiar person who had a round piece of
glass in front of one eye.
He said he had lots of money,
and he wanted to arrange a meeting.
Freddi: So, did you meet with him?
da Vinci: No, no, no. Not yet.
I am far too busy.
[Knock]
Da Vinci: Ugh! I suppose I have to answer it.
If I don?t, they?ll just come back in
the middle of the night.
Freddi: Someone with a round piece of
glass in front of one eye?
Jodi: It has to be him.
da Vinci: Hey, ho! Let me go!
Oh, ow!
Jodi: Come on! We have to help him!
Joe: He?s gone! That means!
Jodi: Mad Jack must have him!
Freddi: Uh-oh! This is bad! Really bad!
If Mad Jack gets his own copy of the book,
there?s no telling what he?ll do!
Jodi: We have to find him.
Joe: But how?
Borgia: The Pisan spies! Where is Leonardo?
Freddi: We don?t know. He?s gone!
Borgia: Gone? What do you mean gone?
What have you done with my inventor?
Joe: Nothing! We just toured the studio
and had a little cheese.
[Burp]
Okay, a lot of cheese.
Machiavelli: A likely story.
You?ve done something to him because
he is designing war machines for the prince
to conquer your city.
Jodi: Machiavelli, we are not Pisans!
Borgia: Silence!
Joe: This guy?s really got some anger issues.
Have you tried deep breathing?
Borgia: I should?ve killed you before,
but now, killing is too good for you.
Freddi: You?re right!
It?s much too good for us!
Why don?t you banish us instead?
Borgia: I was thinking more along the lines
of torture.
Jodi: What do you think they?re going
to do to us?
Freddie: Sixteenth century?
This is like the golden age of torture.
It could be the rack, or red-hot pincers, or
Jodi: Could you try not to sound so
excited about this?
Freddi: Hey! You?ve got the book, right?
Let?s just warp right out of this place.
Jodi: Of course! I?ve got it right here!
Uh, guys?
I think I grabbed the wrong book.
Freddi: You grabbed the wrong book?
How could you grab the wrong book?
Jodi: Uh, like you?ve never done
anything dumb before!
Freddi: Dumb, maybe. Mind-numbingly,
colossally idiotic?
No!
Joe: Why did you two have to drag me into
this anyway?
Couldn?t you have gone after
Mad Jack yourselves?
Jodi: I guess we better tell him, huh?
Joe: Oh, again with the secrets.
Jodi: Okay.
You want to know why we needed you?
Because you?re destined for an apocalyptic
confrontation with Mad Jack,
in which the fate of the universe
will hang in the balance.
Joe: Come again?
Freddi: It?s true, Joe. It?s in the book.
Jodi: And we think it?s supposed to happen
sort of soon.
Joe: How soon?
Jodi: Hard to say.
Possibly in the next twenty four hours.
Hageman: You?re free!
Freddi: You?re not going to torture us?
No flame, no iron-maiden or
making us swallow molten lead?
Hageman: No! And stop rubbing it in.
Now get out of here before
my boss changes his mind.
Jodi: Why is Borgia just letting us go?
Something must be up.
Freddi: Well, whatever it is, it?s got to be
better than being stuck in here.
Come on!
Joe: Huh. Do we have to? Can?t we wait
until this big showdown is over?
So what exactly is an apocalyptic
confrontation anyway?
Jodi: Relax. You?ll be fine.
Just help us find Leonardo.
Freddi: Look! That window up there is open!
Jodi: Give me a boost.
Ow! I?m okay!
Borgia: I still don?t understand why we
couldn?t have tortured those lousy Pisans!
Just a little?
Machiavelli: My lord.
If by chance you had killed them,
then we would never find Leonardo.
By releasing them,
they?ll lead us right to him.
Borgia: Oh ho ho!
You?re a crafty little weasel, Machiavelli!
Machiavelli?
Machiavelli: Yes, my lord?
Borgia: Can we torture the Pisans
after we find Leonardo,
by crushing them slowly
with massive stones?
Machiavelli: Of course, my lord, of course.
Borgia: Hahaha!
Jodi: The book?s not here!
Freddie: Are you sure?
Jodi: I left it right there by Leonardo?s codex.
When I got up, I must?ve grabbed the codex
by mistake.
Joe: And that means Leonardo probably
grabbed the book.
Freddi: And if Leonardo has the book,
that means
da Vinci: I?m sorry, Senor Jack,
but I don?t understand.
You want me to make you what?
Mad Jack: A time machine!
da Vinci: Why do you need a time machine?
You can tell the time by looking at the sun.
It?s late afternoon.
Mad Jack: Not a machine that tells time,
you ninny!
I want a magic book that can transport me
into the past and future,
and make me the sole ruler of eternity!
Hahaha!
Da Vinci: How about I make you a nice
little painting?
Something with a church and lots of flowers.
Da Vinci: Aah! Okay, okay, okay.
I will do what you request,
but I?ll need some, uh, tools.
Inside this house is my other workshop,
where I work on the larger inventions.
You will find paper near my drafting table.
Mad Jack: Excellent!
I knew you?d see things my way!
Da Vinci: What a lunatic! That?s it!
No more commissions from
strange foreigners.
Ooh! What?s this?
Freddi: We?ve got to get to Leonardo before
Mad Jack discovers that he has the book.
Joe: But how will we find him?
He could be anywhere!
Jodi: Just look for clues. Anything at all.
Joe: Hey! What?s this?
Jodi: It looks like a secret message!
Joe: Yeah, but what language is that?
Freddi: Look! In the mirror!
Joe: Cheese, tomatoes, bread?
Jodi: It?s just a shopping list.
Joe: Wait! Look at the bottom!
Meet strange man with glass over eye
at other workshop.
Freddi: Didn?t Leonardo say he had another
workshop just outside of Florence? Come on!
Jodi: Uh oh! We?ve got company.
Freddi: Wait a second!
Borgia must?ve let us go
so that he could use us to find Leonardo!
Joe: And once he gets his inventor back,
he?ll throw us back in prison.
Jodi: If only there was some way of getting
out of here without them following us!
Freddi: I think I know a way.
Jodi: Isn?t this dangerous?
Freddi: Don?t worry! It was designed by
one of the greatest geniuses in history!
[Screams]
Joe: Hey! It?s working! Guys, we?re flying!
Freddi: This thing really can fly!
Jodi: This is so cool!
Joe: Leonardo, here we come!
da Vinci: Incredible! So elegant, so simple!
Mad Jack: Alright! I?ve managed to find
some paper in that sty.
Now, is there anything else I
What?s that?
da Vinci: What?s what?
Mad Jack: You just put something behind your back.
da Vinci: No, I didn?t!
Mad Jack: Huh! The book!
You had it all along!
da Vinci: What, this? It?s nothing.
Just a few recipes from
my grandmother Silvia.
Mad Jack: Give it to me!
Give it to me!
da Vinci: No! You?re deranged!
You should not have such a powerful item.
Mad Jack: I?m not deranged. I?m mad!
There is a difference.
Haha! At long last! It?s mine, mine, mine!
da Vinci: Look! A flying machine!
Mad Jack: You don?t expect me to fall
for that old gag.
Flying machines haven?t been invented yet!
Freddi: Woo hoo!
da Vinci: It works! I?ve done it!
I?ve unlocked the secret of flight!
Jodi: Uh, Freddi?
How do you land this thing?
Freddi: Try that lever!
Not so fast!
Joe: We?re going to crash!
Freddi, Jodi, and Joe: Ow! Ouch!
da Vinci: Note to self: design parachute in
case of crash landing.
Joe: Everyone okay?
Freddi: Just a couple of little bumps.
Jodi: Hey! Where?s the
Mad Jack: Looking for this?
It looks like I won?t be needing your
services after all.
Now if you?ll all excuse me,
I have a universe to control!
Ow!
Borgia: You!
What are you doing with my inventor?
Mad Jack: Uh, uh. Let go of me! Ow, ooh!
da Vinci: Prince Borgia, my good friend.
How have you been? That war machinery
you ordered is almost ready.
Borgia: I?ll deal with you later, Leonardo!
Right after I get rid of these Pisan spies.
Joe: I keep trying to tell you.
We?re not Pisans.
Borgia: This one must be their leader.
Jodi: I?ve got the book.
Joe: Quick! Warp us out!
Jodi: I?m trying. I have to get to
the right page.
Freddi: Uh! Jodi, hurry!
Borgia: You?re not going anywhere!
Da Vinci: Apprentices, over here!
You think Leonardo can help you?
Oh, he may be a genius.
No one can protect you from Cesare Borgia.
Borgia: Aah!
da Vinci: You like your new war weapon, eh?
It?s almost ready, with just a few
adjustments!
We?ll talk later, huh? Chow!
Borgia: Well, at least I still have the leader
of the Pisans to execute.
Freddie: Sorry about your flying machine!
da Vinci: It?s alright!
I?m more interested in your book.
Does it really let you travel to the future?
Freddi: Kind of, yeah.
But I?m not sure we can tell you that.
Jodi: And don?t go inventing one
or Mad Jack might come back for you.
da Vinci: Don?t worry! I won?t!
Now fly home safely, my apprentices,
wherever you come from.
Joe: Well, I?ve got to say.
For an apocalyptic struggle,
that wasn?t so bad.
Freddi: Um, actually,
I think we made a little mistake.
That wasn?t the big showdown. See Jodi?
Jodi: Oh! I was looking at the wrong page!
Silly me!
Joe: Wrong page? You mean,
you dragged me back to the
Renaissance for nothing?
Jodi: Well, it wasn?t for nothing.
You learned something very important.
Something that will come in handy when
the big showdown happens for real.
Joe: What? What did I learn?
Jodi: Sorry! That?s classified.
Freddi: Anyway,
you?ll find out soon enough.
Joe: Hey! She took my
Dr. Mysterious comic book.
