>> Until everyone sees what we saw, it's going to be hard to convince them to conserve water.
>> I've been trying to tell them if they'd just make a few small changes, they won't be wasting so much water.
>> Like stopping this leak?
>> Yes.
It just started last night.
My dad promised to fix it.
>> It's just leaking a little.
>> A little, yeah, but these tiny drips can add up to a lot.
I'll show you.
We'll measure.
>> One scale for measuring.
>> That won't work, Digit.
You measure a liquid by how much space it takes up, so you need some kind of container, like this glass, but let's start with an empty one.
>> It's going to take a while to fill that.
♪♪ >> Whoa.
That didn't take long at all.
>> Ten minutes to be exact.
>> One glass is filled in 10 minutes, so two glasses in 20 minutes, three glasses in 30 minutes.
>> That's three full glasses of water every 1/2 hour.
>> Yoikes!
That's a lot of glasses of water.
Imagine how many you'd have in a full day.
>> See what I mean?
>> Wow, what a waste.
>> I asked for a town meeting to explain what everyone needs to do.
Hopefully they'll listen this time.
>> They're gone.
>> My plan is working.
>> What plan, Boss?
>> We've just been waiting here for weeks doing nothing.
>> That was the plan.
While we've been relaxing, that little girl has made a time machine.
>> Oh, brilliant, Boss.
>> Just brilliant.
>> And now that that supercilious cybird has brought the missing part, just as I knew he would, we can use the time machine ourselves.
>> Can we go back in time to when you had hair?
>> What did you just say?
>> He said, "Can we go back in time" -- >> I heard what he said!
Listen closely.
Once we get that time machine, we're going back into the past when I worked for Motherboard, only this time, I will reset the course of cyber history.
This time, I will be in charge of Cyberspace, me, the Hacker, not Motherboard.
[ Laughs wickedly ] Now, let's find a way to get that time machine to the Wreaker.
♪♪ >> Why are we here?
What's this all about?
>> Everyone, everyone, please.
For the past few months, I have been telling you that the water levels here in Canalia are going down.
>> There's nothing to worry about.
We get plenty of rain.
Besides, Canalia is made of water.
>> Yeah.
>> Mm-hmm.
>> Who is that guy?
>> It's okay.
I know it's hard to see the difference, but if we don't make some changes now, we might just run out of water.
>> What?
>> You got their attention now.
>> If everyone in Canalia could save just one gallon of water every day... >> One gallon is nothing.
>> Yeah.
>> That's my point.
It may not sound like a lot, but there are 365 days in the year, so if we each saved just one gallon a day, we could each save 365 gallons a year.
[ Crowd murmuring ] >> With everyone working together, the amount of water you could save will add up fast.
>> Calm down, everyone.
We don't have to worry.
We're surrounded by plenty of water.
>> Sounds good.
>> It's that guy again.
>> Dad.
>> That's your dad?
>> Honey, you have to stop worrying about all this water stuff.
>> But, Dad, you have to listen to me.
>> What?
>> You're losing them.
>> We have to do something.
>> Please, everyone listen.
Pearl is telling the truth.
You have to believe her.
>> Why should we?
Does she have proof?
>> She does.
>> What proof?
>> She built a time machine.
>> Matt!
>> she did, and she can show you how Canalia has changed over the years.
>> A time machine?
♪♪ >> Thank you all for coming.
Don't worry.
Everyone will have their chance to see what I'm talking about.
♪♪ May I present my time machine?
[ Gasping ] >> This is your time machine?
>> No.
It's not.
I mean, I don't know what this is.
>> Wow.
>> Waste of time.
>> It was here.
We saw it.
>> We went back in time ourselves.
>> Pearl, honey, I know you think we need to conserve more water, but making up stories about a time machine is not going to help.
>> But, Dad... >> Wait!
She's not making it up.
>> I'm really sorry, Pearl.
Maybe I shouldn't have said anything.
>> It's not your fault, Matt.
I guess I did this all for nothing.
>> No way, Pearl.
We'll find your time machine.
>> And we'll find out who took it, too.
>> Now no one will ever believe me.
>> Pearl, come back.
>> I'll go.
You guys find the time machine.
>> Look at this.
Who would do such a mean thing?
>> Hey.
This stuff looks familiar.
[ Gasps ] Wig gel!
>> Hacker!
>> [ Gasps ] If Hacker has the time machine, there's no telling what he could use it for.
>> We've got to get it back for Pearl.
>> And for all of Cyberspace.
>> Faster!
I want to get this to the Wreaker.
Soon all of Cyberspace will be mine.
>> I'm going as fast as I can, Boss.
This thing is heavy.
>> [ Grumbling ] >> Why wait, Boss?
Let's take over Cyberspace now.
>> Yeah.
Let's do it now.
Then I can stop rowing.
>> You're right.
For once, you're right.
There's no need to wait.
Follow me.
Let's see.
How many years ago did I work for Motherboard, 5, 18, 22?
>> I think this many years.
[ Whirring, beeping ] >> No, wait!
>> Uh-oh.
>> Yikes!
Say, "Hello," to Motherboard.
>> Hello, Motherboard.
[ Chuckles ] Ah!
>> Too far back, right?
>> Let's go forward.
[ Whirring, beeping ] Yikes!
>> Hmm.
>> Ah!
>> My turn.
>> Enough!
Let's get this machine back to the present and figure out how it works.
>> The water is even lower than last week.
There are even some spots that are too shallow for the gondolas.
>> That could be dangerous.
>> It is, but no one believes me, not even my dad, especially now that he thinks I made up the time machine.
I wish Matt hadn't said anything.
>> He only wanted to help.
We all do.
We'll make them believe.
You'll see, and we'll get back your time machine, too.
♪♪ >> Hacker!
There he is!
>> And he's got the time machine.
>> Push, Didge, push.
>> I'm pushing.
>> Hey, Boss, can we get an ice cream?
>> Not now, you bucket head!
We're almost to the Wreaker.
Control of Cyberspace is finally within my grasp.
