(male narrator) Our world is in peril.

Gaia, the spirit of the Earth can no longer stand

the terrible destruction plaguing our planet.

She sends five magic rings to five special young people..

Kwame from Africa, with the power of Earth.

From North America...Wheeler, with the power of fire.

From the Soviet Union...Linka, with the power of wind.

From Asia...Gi, with the power of water.

And from South America...Ma-Ti, with the power of heart.

When the five powers combine

they summon Earth's greatest champion..

Captain Planet!

(all) ‘Go, Planet!’

(Captain Planet) The power is yours!

(Ma-Ti) In our last episode, a false distress call

lured the Planeteers into a trap.

(Linka) Our rings were stolen so Dr. Blight could create..

(Wheeler) Five evil rings to summon..

...Captain Pollution.

(Kwame) Meanwhile, Commander Clash

a soldier on a secret mission,

was tricked into hunting us down.

(Gi) But when we befriended him, he showed us his camp

and the radar station he used to protect his home country.

(Linka) When he learned his country was at peace

and he was no longer needed..

(Ma-Ti) Commander Clash refused to leave the island

and face a new world he did not understand.

(Wheeler) But when we tried to leave the island

Captain Pollution attacked us!

[dramatic music]

Ha ha ha!

You can run, Planeteers, but you can't hide

not from Captain Pollution!

Ha ha ha!

[Zapping]

If only we could summon Captain Planet.

But without our rings, we do not have our powers.

We still have our wits.

Heads up if you want to keep them!

Laughin' boy is making his move.

[intense music]

He'll destroy this entire island!

Get off my island now!

Wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong, muscleman, all wrong.

Nobody tells Captain Pollution what to do. Ha ha!

Clash doesn't have a chance.

Yes, he does! And | know what it is.

Commander Clash, use your water cannon!

‘Spray Captain Pollution with water!’

‘It is your only hope!’

[choking]

Of course! If pollution drains Captain Planet's powers..

Then pure, clean things will hurt Captain Pollution.

Ohh..

Had enough, invader?

I'll show you enough!

You will show me nothing. | will show you!

[gasping] You can't beat me!

[music continues]

Oh! That water has drained me.

| need toxics!

But it's not over.

Captain Pollution will return!

You had surprise on your side this time, Clash

but Captain Pollution has some powerful friends.

Wheeler is right. When our enemy returns, he will not be alone.

[intense music]

Look! Captain Pollution's headed this way!

| bet he took care of those Planet brats.

| wouldn't make that bet, Plunder.

According to my calculations

Captain Pollution is in big trouble.

[groaning] Toxics. Ah. Need toxics.

- Ah! - He's going to crash!

[groaning]

Ohh...dudes, | hurt all over.

He looks worse than a rat in a trap.

What happened to him?

Those party-pooping Planet pests, of course!

Ohh..

It's the only way to save him.

The polluting power is yours!

Those blasted Planeteers will pay for this.

We cannot fix this without time.

Oh, terrif, and just how do we stop Blight

Sludge, Nukem, Plunder, Skumm, Captain Pollution

and a whole army of bad guys?

There is only one way. We must get our rings back.

That's where you come in, big guy.

If anybody can beat those creeps, it's Commander Clash.

Once, maybe, but not now.

I'm a relic. | am of no use to you.

This is not my kind of mission.

[mellow music]

You are wrong about yourself, commander.

Why do you say that?

A relic would not build that or solar generators

or water wheels, like at your camp.

And who better to lead this mission to save Earth

than yourself?

Please, Commander, if you do not help us stop Captain Pollution

and his friends, the entire world could look like this.

[music continues]

Very well. | will lead you.

Earth, fire, wind, water, and heart

your rings gave you these powers.

But you are without your rings

so I'll replace your powers with technology.

- For Kwame.. - Asonic jackhammer!

- Excellent! - For Linka..

A portable wind generator! Bozhe moi!

- For Wheeler.. - Awrist-mounted flamethrower!

Alright!

And for Gi..

A water-pump backpack!

- Thanks, Commander Clash. - But what about heart power?

You cannot replace that with technology.

| don't have to. No one can take away your heart power, Ma-Ti.

And your sharing it has given me strength

to do what | must do... help the mission to save Earth.

[alarm buzzing]

The enemy has arrived!

[intense music]

I've scanned the entire island as you requested, Dr. Blight

‘but there's no sign of those nature noodles. '

[music continues]

Quiet, Planeteers. Smooth and quiet.

This ship is so big. Where do we look for our rings?

[panting] | vote for Dr. Blight's lab.

If she used our good rings to make evil rings..

Then that's the place to start looking.

A lab like that would need lots of power.

It must be close to the main generators. Let's go!

[alarm buzzing]

Intruder alert! We've got visitors.

[music continues]

(Wheeler) Alright! Dr. Blight's lab.

(Ma-Ti) Our rings! There they are.

(Dr. Blight) Stop them!

Yeah! I'll zap them, doc, with smog!

Better shed some light on this situation. Fire!

[dramatic music]

This will shake you up, my friends. Earth!

- Oh! - Whoa!

- Ah! - Whoa!

They look like they could use some fresh air. Wind!

whoosh

And some cold water!

[grunting and groaning]

Good work, Planeteers! Now let's get your rings.

Ah! That feels better.

They have the rings!

Use all your powers to stop them!

| think it is time to call Captain Planet.

Let our powers combine. Earth!

- Fire! - Wind!

- Water! - Heart!

By your powers combined, | am Captain Planet!

(all) Go, Planet!

If they want to play dirty..

Then we'll call Captain Pollution.

Let our polluting powers combine!

Super-radiation!

Deforestation!

Smog!

Toxics!

Hate!

By your polluting powers combined

| am Captain Pollution!

Ha ha ha!

(all) Go, Pollution!

Captain Planet, huh? You don't look so tough.

Neither do you, Pollution.

In fact, you look a little green around the gills.

Oh! Oh!

[dramatic music]

[grunting]

[Planeteers cheering] Go, Planet!

[music continues]

Ha! Better check your appointment calendar.

| think you'll find you're all tied up.

And now it's time to teach those Eco-villains a good--

Watch out, Cap!

Huh?

Ew!

[coughing]

(Dr. Blight) How do you like my pollution pod

Captain Planet?

[coughing]

Weak. Feel weak.

Captain Planet's down!

The pollution is sapping his strength!

Destroy him, Captain Pollution!

[intense music]

With pleasure.

[coughing]

[laughing]

[gasping]

[laughing] You're doomed, Planet. You're doomed.

- Go! Go! - Destroy Planet!

We have got to stop Captain Pollution

with something unpolluted... like sunlight!

- But how? - There!

- That radar dish is the answer! - Huh?

I'm gonna have fun finishing you off.

We must turn the dish toward the sun.

[music continues]

No! Oh! | can't stand so much...sunlight!

We must get Captain Planet away from here.

Quick! Before those Eco-villains get over here!

That plane! It will get us out of here!

They're escaping! We've got to stop them!

You get him!

Don't be a fool, you sludgehead.

We have an entire army at our disposal.

[alarm blaring]

They've called in reinforcements.

Then it is time to fly!

[indistinct shouting]

[gasps]

[dramatic music]

You miserable Planeteers!

Wherever you go, we'll find you and we'll finish you!

[intense music]

[groaning] Oh...weak. | feel...so...weak.

| hope this device will stop Captain Pollution for good.

(Linka) Commander Clash..

We have finished this section of the ionizer.

Will it be strong enough to draw all the toxics

out of Captain Pollution?

It has to.

We must give Captain Planet time to regain his power.

Otherwise, we don't have a chance.

[dramatic music]

[indistinct shouting]

It's time to terminate Captain Planet

and the Planeteers.

And here comes the pollution solution.

Ready to fight, my filthy one?

Grrr! Let me at him!

| can't wait to get my grimy hands on those Planet punks.

- He's ready. - Dudes!

Let's stomp those nature nerds!

[music continues]

Oh, come on! Where are these global geeks?

They must be around here somewhere.

[groaning] Oh! That beam! Losing my strength.

What's happening?

Our ionizer is drawing the pollution

and the power out of you forever.

Argh! Stop them.

[groaning] Destroy them.

[indistinct shouting]

We cannot fight all of them.

Maybe we won't have to.

Wait, soldiers! Listen to me!

Look around you!

"Take a good long look.’

'This is the future of the world’

‘if you help monsters like Plunder!’

Monsters?

Who are you calling monsters?

You! You and your kind.

Don't listen to him.

Money is all that matters. Money and power!

[shouting]

What good is money in a world destroyed by

waste and pollution?

Listen to me!

Until today, | was a lot like you

a soldier paid to do a job

without asking questions.

But | have learned there are things

more dangerous than missiles.

There is greed, selfishness, indifference, prejudice

everything that-that that monstrosity stands for.

If you join him, this is our future.

How long can you survive in a world like this?

‘The time to choose is now!'

[intense music]

What are you doing?!

You fools! We could conquer the world!

- You're a loser, Plunder. - We ain't stickin' with you.

All | have to do is find the right frequency

‘and this jamming device will..'

- What's this? - It is shorting out!

Uhh. That's better.

"You will all pay for humiliating me.'

Huh?

You will pay and pay and pay!

Go get them, Captain Pollution! Go!

[intense music]

We are trapped!

Finish them off, Captain Pollution.

Say goodbye to the planet.

Yah!

You're the only one who's finished, Pollution.

Captain Planet! He's back!

This is for you, Dr. Blight.

[dramatic music]

Whoa!

You are full of hot air, Planet.

I'll show you who's boss around here!

There is no boss around here, Pollution. We're a team.

And that's why we'll always beat you.

[music continues]

| Know what you need, Pollution

and I'm just the guy to give it to you.

What are you talking about, fool?

The pure elements of the Earth.

I'm gonna give you a taste of every single one.

[gasps] Nooo!

First, Earth.

Then, fire.

[music continues]

Uhh!

And for our next element, wind!

Yah!

And, finally, water.

Aah!

[music continues]

Did you enjoy your bath, Captain Pollution?

Oh...have a heart, Captain Planet.

Aw, don't worry, Pollution.

Now that you're all clean, I'm just gonna put you

out to dry.

Well done!

- Hurray! - Outstanding!

[all cheering]

Pollution has had it. We're all washed up.

| got to go for now, but you can count on this..

...I'll be back!

What's happening?

The polluting power is yours!

- Yow! - It's burning me!

My ring!

Just remembered, uh, | left a beaker

bubbling on my Bunsen burner.

Got to run.

[laughter]

Look at them go! I've never seen those flakes disappear so fast!

[helicopter whirring]

[instrumental music]

‘Look, guys! Commander Clash has converted the villains’ army’

into an environmental cleanup force.

My men and | will travel across this world

cleaning up pollution and battling greed as best we can.

And you thought you were a useless relic

a soldier without a mission.

But | found my mission, thanks to you.

My work here is done. Time to go, Planeteers.

The power is yours!

[instrumental music]

Time to hit the road, troops, back to Hope Island.

| hope we will see you again, Commander Clash.

Our paths will cross again, Planeteers.

The mission to save Earth is not over.

It is just beginning.

[music continues]

(Planeteers) ‘Go, Planet!’

Countries spend billions of dollars

on armies and weapons to defend themselves from one another.

But Earth faces a more serious and common enemy.

(Clash) The enemy is pollution.

Let's use our money, people, and time

to help stop this threat to our survival.

Let us make it a mission.

A mission to save Earth!

The power is yours!

Earth!

- Fire! - Wind!

- Water! - Heart!

(all) Go, Planet!

By your powers combined, | am Captain Planet!
