10x05 - Bottled Up

[bunniefuu]

HELP ALL KIDS LEARN
AND GROW WITH PBS KIDS.

THANK YOU FOR SUPPORTING
YOUR PBS STATION.

Boy, voice-over:
OK, there's this really bad dude

named Hacker.

THE Hacker, to you.

Boy, voice-over: Whatever.
He wants to take over

the cyberworld
from Motherboard.

[Gasp]

The kids are sucked
into Cyberspace,

and they use brainpower
to help save everybody.

Jackie: OK,
here's the plan.

Boy, voice-over:
So they travel all over

and run into all these
weird creatures

and have all these
awesome adventures.

It's totally up to them
to save Cyberspace.

Can cool kids and a wacky bird
outsmart The Hacker?

Never.

There's only one way
to find out:

tune in to "Cyberchase"!

♪ Cyberchase, we're movin' ♪

♪ We're b*ating Hacker
at his game ♪

♪ Don't tell me that he's trying
to hack the Motherboard ♪

Jackie: Hey, guys!
Watch this!

Way to go, Jax.

Ha ha! Awesome!

Stand aside,
Earthlies.

The Digit's gonna
show you his stuff.

Coming down!

Whoa!

Didge, duck!

A duck? Where?

Whoa!

Jackie: Slider!

Both: Uh!

Thanks.

No problem.
Ha ha.

Nice catch, Slider.

Hey, I'm just glad
nobody got hurt.

Digit: How do you
stop this thing?!

Ooh!

Anyone thirsty?

Jackie: Ah. Nothing
like ice-cold water
when you're hot.

And sweaty.

I'm a nonsweat
cyboid, you know.

Sweat is just
water, Didge.

When we drink,
we're just putting
back what we lost.

I read that our bodies
are almost % water.

Isn't that cool?

Digit:
Careful, you guys.

Don't drink
too much.

You'll overflow.
Ha ha!

Slider: New
water park--

just opened
a few days ago.

Want to try it?

Uh, yeah.

Good job, dude.
See you tomorrow,
same time, same place.

Yeah!

Whoo!

Whoo hoo!

, .
Boy, the boss had

a great idea
this time, Buzzy.

Maybe later
we can try

the Cyclorama
Splash Pool

or the Twisty--

Deedee, we're running
a business here.

We're not supposed
to have fun.

Oh. I just
thought maybe--

Keep counting.

Inez: I've always
loved Radopolis.

Now I love it
even more!

It has everything!

Man on loudspeaker:
Yo, my fellow Radsters.

It's me--King Dudicus.

I hate to be a bummer,

but I've got, like,
serious business to discuss.

So grab your decks
and meet me at
Way Cool Arena,

like, pronto.

Wonder
what's up.

[Chatter]

Jackie: Whatever
this is about,

it sure sounds
important.

Matt: Whoa.
Check it out.

Digit: It looks like
a giant garbage can.

How could
this happen?

King Dudicus:
Yo, Radsters,

your attention,
please.

Uh, as you can see,
Way Cool Arena

is now totally full
of empty water bottles.

What happened
to the dump?

I'm afraid the dump
is full up, Slider.

We had to put
our empties here,

and, well,
I guess I maybe
saw this coming,

but I'd hoped
it wouldn't get
this bad.

I guess I was wrong.

But if this
arena's full,

where are you gonna
put the rest of
our empty bottles?

Well, that's
the tough part.

See, starting today,
we have to dump
the empties

in the Skate Park.

No! You can't do that.
Don't do it, King!

The Skate Park?

But that's our place.

We practically
live there.

Sorry, Slider,
but, like, we don't
have a choice.

We've got to do
something, dude.

And this is your plan?

Delete: and is ,
plus is... .

Hacker: Where
is everyone?

This place
is a ghost town.

Oh, hi, boss.
They went to some
kind of meeting

at Way Cool Arena.

But don't worry.
They'll be back.

They love
this place.

Look how many
snelfus
we're making.

At this rate,
I'll be richer
than rich!

And do you know
what that means?

We'll be rich, too?

Don't be ridiculous.

It means I can build
an army of cyborgs

exactly like me--
an entire army of Hackers

to take over Cyberspace!

What could be better?

Maybe a small
army of us?

Yeah.
More Buzzes

and Deletes.

Uh, ha ha.
I don't think so.

Meanwhile, the notion
that the "totally rad"
Radsters

are the ones to fund
my little scheme

is just too, too perfect!

Jackie: So, what is
Radopolis going to do

when the Skate Park
is full of empties?

Hmm. Good question.

Matt: There's the problem
right there.

You can't tell people
they can't drink water.

That's true.
Your body needs it.

And everybody
drinks it.

So, what are you
gonna do?

Oh. This is not good.
This is not good at all.

Matt: Fast ball.
Strike one!

Hey, guys.

What's with
the target practice?

I was mad because
King Dudicus

let the water bottle
problem get so big.

It's ridiculous.
But then I realized

I was part
of the problem.

Look at all the water
I drank just this week.

, , , --
bottles?

That doesn't sound
like a lot.

Well, maybe not
for a week,

but think about
how many I must
drink in a year.

And that's just me.
What about the rest
of Radopolis?

The number must
be huge.

OK, OK. Let's do
the math.

bottles
times weeks.

Yikes! That's
bottles a year!

And that's just me.

What about
everyone else?

So how many
Radsters live here?

I don't know
for sure.

Maybe , ?

You think they all
drink as much water
as you do?

Maybe. Maybe
some drink more,
some less.

OK. What you drink
is probably
a fair estimate

for everyone else,
so that means

times , ,
which equals...

[Gasp]

Matt: Whoa!
Over a million bottles!

And that's just
in one year.

If you laid that many
bottles end to end,

they'd stretch all the way
across Cyberspace,

from Radopolis
to Castleblanca

and back again.

And what's
gonna happen

when the Skate Park
is filled up?

King Dudicus
is gonna have to
find more and more

places to put them.

At this rate,
Radopolis will be

nothing but
empty bottles!

Digit: So, Kingy,
what are you gonna do

with all
the empties?

I don't know, Didge.

People have been
telling me to, like,
recycle them,

but there must be
millions of them.

It would take,
like, forever, dude.

And even if you
recycled every
single empty,

there would still
be more coming
every day.

Wait. Those are two
different problems.

Well, what do you
mean, dudette?

Well, the first
problem

is the empties
you have now.

The second one is
how to make sure

this doesn't
happen again.

So solve the first problem
by recycling the empties.

Yes.

Yeah, OK,
but what about
the second problem?

Like, how do we
stop this from
happening again?

Inez: Um, I don't know,
but I'm sure there's
an answer.

It's a tough one,
Kingy.

I'll give you that.

Hey, what's with that
truck over there?

It fills the park
with water

so they don't use
Radopolis water.

Sorry, dudes.
I gotta split.

Need me some think time.

Later.

Yeah. Later.

Hey, Inez, take
a look at this.

What? Oh, it's just
the pipe

leading from the tanker
to the Water Park.

Then how come
it's not connected

to the Water Park?

Hmm. That's weird.

See anything?

Nothing.

Nothing?

This tanker
is totally empty.

No water at all--
not even a drop.

So where's the water
in the park
coming from?

Beats me.

[Hacker chuckling]

Hey, boss.
Buzz wants to know
if--oh.

What you doing?
Are you playing
a game?

Of course not.

I'm designing
my cyborg army.

This will be my prototype.

Um, he doesn't look
exactly like you, boss.

Not yet. I just have to
add my magnificent chin

and my flowing black hair.

Oh. Handsome.

Yes, very, and now
my commanding chest.

Ooh, ooh! And your legs.

Yes?

Your cute widdle
wegs.

Cute? Widdle?

Get out!

Jackie: OK, so,
what do we know?

We know there are
way too many

empty water bottles
in Radopolis.

And if every Radster
drinks bottles
a week,

that's over
a million empty
bottles a year.

So, what's everyone
supposed to do?

Stop drinking water?

We know we can't
do that.

What if everybody
just drank less?

That's it!

Both: It is?

Sort of. We've been
looking at this
the wrong way.

The problem isn't
the water or drinking it.

Then what is it?

The disposable bottles
and all of us choosing
to use them.

Well, yeah.
I guess we could use
reusable bottles

and just refill them,
but would that really
make a big difference?

Yes. Think about it.

If you have
a reusable bottle,

you don't need
to buy any bottled
water.

But is that practical?

Carrying a bottle
with you everywhere
is a pain.

Matt, you have
a backpack.

Lots of kids do,
and anyway,

aren't mountains
of trash a pain?

Yeah, OK. You're right.

Let's see if we can
convince everybody else.

Oh, there must be
another pipe around
here somewhere.

Aah!
[Clang]

Uh!

Didge!

[Liquid flowing]

I hear water!

Look! This end goes
towards the Water Park.

And the other end
goes under that shed.

Inez and Digit: Hacker?

Inez: Hmm. What's he
doing here?

Whatever it is,
it can't be good.

What's in there?

Digit: Some wheelie
thingies.

Inez: "In," "Out."

In and out what?

I don't know,
but let's take another
peek at that pipe.

Well, we know
this pipe

goes from here
to the Water Park.

But what's it
connected to?

Hmm. Wonder where
it's coming from.

Only one way
to find out, Inez--

follow that pipe.

Wow! What is that?

Digit: It looks like
some ginormous well.

And it's almost empty.

How can you tell?

See that mark?

That's where
the water should be.

Didge, I think this is
the town reservoir.

The town what?

Ha! Reservoir--
the place where the town
keeps its water.

If so, looks
to me like they're
running out of it.

Exactly.

Now, which way
is the water
going?

That way.

And what's
back there?

Uh, the Water Park.

And who did we just
see there?

The Hacker!

Dude. You want me to carry
this around all the time?

That's a bummer.

Dude, did you
see all the empty
bottles

at Way Cool Arena?

That's a bummer.

If we use fewer
disposable bottles,

we'll make less trash.

If we make
less trash,

we can save
the Skate Park

and help Radopolis,
so that's our goal:

make less trash.

Good plan. You can
drink from water
fountains, too.

Yeah. OK.

And you'll save money.

Bottled water
is expensive.

More money
in your pocket
for a new board.

Rad, dude.
I'll drink to that.

Bob, I need , wigs
exactly like mine.

How soon can I get them?

, ?

Is that a problem?

But your wigs are...

unique.

It'll take time
and a few more snelfus

to make that many.

Let me put it
this way, Bob.

I want those wigs,
and I want them now!

And I'm not paying you
one extra snelfu!

Yeah! He's gonna clone
himself a lot of times.

Yeah. , .

B-b-but, Hacker--

That's THE Hacker to you.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.
B-b-but, Hacker,
, wigs are--

THE Hacker.

Yes, of course.
B-b-but, Hacker--

THE Hackerrr!

You know what's cool?

I thought this was
some big problem

King Dudicus had to
solve for Radopolis,

but the truth is,
we can solve a lot
of it ourselves.

Yeah,
you're right.

What we each
choose to do

really does make
a difference.

Now we just
have to convince
more Radsters

to use reusable
water bottles.

Come on.
There's a big party
at the Skate Park.

Slider: We can tell
everybody there.

Inez: Guys! Guys!

You'll never guess
who owns the Water Park.

Hacker!

What?

Uh-huh. And
worse than that,

he's using the water
from the reservoir

to fill the park!

No way. We can't
let him do that.

You guys go
to the party

and tell everybody
about the bottles.

I'll deal with Hacker.

Wait up, Sli.
I'll go with you.

Singers: ♪ All right ♪

Hacker: Ha ha ha!
This Water Park
scheme has worked

better than
my wildest dreams!

And now that I have
the place to myself
for a while,

I think I'll have
some fun.

Cannonball!

You know what I'm
thinking, Deedee?

You want to
go swimming.

I want to go
to the big party.

Oh. I don't know,
Buzzy.

Come on. The boss
is having a good time.

Why can't we?

You're right.
He won't even
miss us.

Let's go!

Slider: This must be
how you control the water

going in and out
of the park.

This wheel--uh!--
shuts off the water
going into the park.

Uh! So now Hacker
can't use the water
from the reservoir.

Done. And this one
drains the water

that's already
in the park
out of the park.

Back into
the reservoir?

No. Uh-uh. There's
a basin on the other
side of the Water Park

where it goes.

What are we waiting for?
Let's drain it.

Uh!
Allow me.

Uh! Too...tight!

On , , !

Inez: Using reusable
water bottles

and filling them up
with tap water

will be good
for Radopolis.

But isn't bottled water
better than tap?

In some places,
it is, but in most,
like Radopolis,

tap water is good.

But, like, where
will we refill
the bottles?

At home or at
water fountains.

Dudes and dudettes,
we're gonna put
refilling stations

all over so it's, like,
super easy for you.

And the best
part is,

there's no plastic
bottles to throw away.

No more dumping
a million empties

into your parks
and arenas.

Yeah! And we're,
like, gonna recycle
all the empties

in Way Cool Arena, too!

[Cheering]

Buzz:
What a good idea.

How come the boss
never thought of this?

Delete: Come on,
Buzzy.

Let's get
a refusable.

Reusable.

[Whispers]

Seriously?

The rest is up
to you, Kingy.

I'm on it, dude.

Let's see.

Shall I be King Hacker
of Cyberspace?

No. Uh-uh. Uh-uh.

King of Hackerspace.

No, not grand enough.

Lord Hacker.

No. I need something...

bigger.

Emperor Hacker!

Ha ha. Getting there.

King Dudicus:
Yo, dude!

Are you speaking
to me?

Yeah. I've got some
bad news for you, dude.

That's THE Dude
to you.

We found out that
you've been using

the town's water
for your park, so...

So?

So here's your bill.

million snelfus?!

But that's more
than I made.

Yeah. That's,
like, life, dude.

Oh, and one more
thing.

You no longer own
the Water Park.

Radopolis does.

You can't do that.

Have a groovy day,
Hacker dude.

Wait! Don't go!

Is this open
for discussion?

King!

What happened
to my water?

Buzz? Delete?

Get me out of here!

Where are you duncebuckets?!

able to stay open,

King Dudicus: Yeah!

Party on. Whoo hoo!

Stay right where you are.

It's Cyberchase for real.

I like to think I dress
with a distinctive style,

so I've decided to
explore what it takes

to be a fashion designer.

I'm at FIT--Fashion
Institute of Technology--

to ask advice from
a friend who's studying here.

Hi, Grace.
Hi!

Thanks for offering
to look at my designs.

Sure.

Interesting.

Gee, thanks.

You know, fashion
isn't just about
looking good.

You want to make
a statement.

What do you mean?

Come with me.
I'll show you.

This dress is
by a designer
who cares about

protecting
the environment.

It's created
from recycled
and repurposed

pantyhose
and sweaters?

Grace, I'm into
fashion recycling, too!

I buy most
of my outfits at
used-clothing stores.

That's awesome, Harry.

Um. Speaking of
recycling,

where's the container
where plastic bottles
can be recycled?

Over there, but FIT
is encouraging people

not to buy
bottled water.

Why? It's important
to drink plenty of
water every day

to keep your body
healthy and working
properly.

That's true,
and bottled water
is great

when the bottles
are recycled,

but that doesn't
always happen.

Check this out.

Narrator: Only some water
bottles get recycled.

The rest end up
in landfills.

In the U.S., landfills
are overflowing

with unrecycled bottles
and other waste.

[Gasp]

All those bottles
aren't getting
recycled?

We have to do
something
about this.

There are solutions
to this problem.

Come with me.
I'll show you one.

FIT has installed
these water fountains

designed to encourage
people to drink
more water

using refillable
bottles.

Doesn't bottled
water taste better
than tap water?

Not always.
I'll prove it.
Be right back.

That's not from a bottle.

Um. That's definitely
from a bottle

because that is
delicious.

You got it wrong.

The second
sample is from
the fountain.

I can't believe it.

Since this was
installed
years ago,

, plastic
bottles were saved.

Wow! All that from
just one fountain?

And I heard other
fountains on campus

saved a total of
, bottles.

So if we add ,
plus , ,

that means ,
bottles have been
saved so far!

From now on,
I'll be using my own
refillable bottle

with water from
my tap at home.

That's great, Harry.

Can we meet up again
in a few days?

Our discussion has
given me an idea

for some designs
I'd like to share with you.

Sure.

I decided to skip
the sketches

and made us
matching outfits.

[Music playing]

Now, this is
a fashion statement.
