Original subtitles

(male narrator) Our world is in peril.

Gala, 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.

[sirens wailing]

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

[tires screeching]

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

From Asia, Gi, with the power of Water.

[water splashing]

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

When the five powers combine

they summon Earth's greatest champion

Captain Planet!

(Planeteers) ‘Go, Planet!’

(Captain Planet) ‘The power is yours!’

[instrumental music]

(Skumm) ‘SO, you're new to Washington, D.C.’

It's hard moving to a new town.

You want to be cool, but you don't fit in.

[gasps]

but once you've felt bliss

none of that will matter.

Not so fast. Bliss will cost you.

[intense music]

(Skumm) ‘Go on. Get blissed out!’

[swallows]

[laughing]

Nothing can bring you down now.

[laughing]

[horn blaring]

[grunts]

[laughing]

Yeah. You're feeling no pain.

[laughs evilly]

Gi, check your solar batteries.

Kwame, are all switches working?

[sighs] Yes, Linka.

When you look up "perfectionist" in the dictionary..

...It has Linka's picture.

Wheeler, make sure the bolts are not loosening up.

| know someone who could use a loosening up.

| heard that, Wheeler.

Ma-Ti, double-check all his bolts.

Oh, man!

Okay, is everybody ready for takeoff?

Oh, no! Linka, | forgot to put the wings back on.

Very funny.

| think it is good thing we're all taking a little vacation.

Da! | will see my uncle at Soviet Embassy in Washington.

| have missed my Cousin Boris.

He is charming.

(Kwame) Okay, Linka. One of us will pick you up in a week.

[instrumental music]

[doorbell rings]

[door opens] Hello, Uncle Dmitri.

[Russian accent] Linka, what a surprise!

Oh, Uncle Dmitri, it is so good to see you!

And where is my favorite cousin, huh?

Boris, come see who is here!

Linka.

Boris!

Are you alright?

[Russian accent] |, uh-I'm just getting over a cold.

Get dressed, and | will make Linka

my famous blintzes for breakfast.

‘And, Boris, for once, please comb your hair.’

‘Boris worries me.’

He is moody, does nothing but stay out late.

‘And | never meet his friends. '

Linka, you two were always close.

Perhaps you could talk to him.

Well, I--

Ta-da!

For my mega-cool cousin, | combed my hair.

Boris! When did you get that cut?

Uh, last week. It is nothing.

It looks like something to me.

Here, you put this on while | finish the blintzes.

Guess | was thinking too hard.

Boris, stop clowning.

Yes, sergeant Linka.

(Linka) ‘Boris, the alcohol!’

Aah!

| will get the extinguisher.

What do we do?

(Linka) ‘Use baking soda.'

And wind!

[pulsating]

[intense music]

(Boris) ‘Well, there's only one way we can have blintzes now.'

| hope the blintzes at the Russian Café

are not quite so well done.

[panting] Linka, wait up!

You need to catch your wind?

[panting] Speaking of wind

how could your ring blow out a fire like that?

My ring has the power of wind.

| was given it to help protect the Earth.

Cool!

If you let me try it sometime

i might even let you try these.

What are they?

These pills can make you happier

than you've ever been in your life.

Drugs?

Boris, have you lost your mind?

Give those back!

You stupid cow! | needed those!

Boris, come back!

[horns honking]

[tires screeching]

Oh!

| need more bliss.

Sorry, kid, but the price of bliss has gone sky-high.

That isn't enough to buy even one pill.

Please, give me some.

| am in agony.

[clicks tongue] Now, that's the funny thing.

When you're used to bliss, anything else is a real pain.

[groans]

What-what if | bring you a ring

with fantastic powers

a ring that controls the wind itself?

A ring?

You mean you know one of those Planeteers?

My cousin, Linka.

Forget the ring.

Bring me the girl to me, and you'll have enough bliss

to last you the rest of your life.

No! | love my cousin.

| will never betray her to you.

Then go ahead and suffer.

Uncle Dmitri!

[door closes]

"Trouble at Embassy. Back later. Dmitri."

What trouble?

[music plays on TV]

(man on TV) The vandals fled just seconds ago.

Police believe they are high on a new dangerously addictive

designer drug called ‘bliss’.

Please, not Boris.

[footsteps approach]

[gasps] Boris!

Oh, Boris, | was afraid

that you were in that blissed-out mob.

| see now bliss is bad news, so | stopped using it.

Thank you for setting me straight.

You should never have used drugs in the first place.

| am so glad you stopped.

Look! | brought you something.

Oh! You went for the blintzes.

Mmm.

Now, isn't that the best thing you ever ate?

[tires squeal]

[engine shuts off]

Isn't Linka with you?

We thought she was coming back with you.

We didn't hear from her all week.

This isn't like her. What could have happened?

(Gaia) You won't like the answer, Planeteers.

To the Crystal Chamber, and hurry.

Something terrible is happening in Washington.

(Wheeler) ‘Man, what went down on that street?’

(Gaia) ‘What went down, Wheeler, was people's self-respect.’

‘They no longer care about their neighborhood or themselves. '

(Gi) ‘It's horrible!

‘But why an eco-alert?'

Is this pollution?

It's the most insidious kind of pollution.

"These kids are polluting their minds and bodies with drugs.’

You say you broke up with your boyfriend

flunked a test

didn't get that job you wanted

just plain bored?

Come on. Don't get stressed out.

Get blissed-out!

| got bliss, but the price has gone up.

All they live for now is more bliss.

More bliss! Come on!

That's it, you blissed-out morons.

‘First, | take your town's wealth and health.’

‘And then, | get the rest of the World hooked on bliss.’

And I'll be the only one who can still think straight.

[hisses]

[all murmuring]

They're polluted, alright.

[gasps] Gaia, you do not think that Linka--

Nah, she's too smart to do drugs.

But as long as those around her do

she's in a world of trouble.

Then we will get her out of it!

[intense music]

(Gi) ‘We'll leave the Geo-Cruiser in these bushes'

‘where it won't be seen. '

(Wheeler) ‘Good idea.'

Wheeler, who was this man?

He looks sad.

That's President Lincoln.

‘Long ago, he freed the slaves and paid with his life.'

Maybe he is sad seeing his people now enslaved by drugs.

(Linka) ‘Wheeler! Ma-Ti!'

[gasps]

(Ma-Ti) Stop! We do not want to hurt you.

I'll stop them. Fire!

[fire crackling]

(Skumm) ‘Ha! They don't care about injury--'

‘just running out of bliss."

What did | tell you?

These planet nerds are too soft-hearted to stop you.

Verminous Skumm. We need Captain Planet.

You bet you do

but you'll never be able to summon him again.

| need more bliss.

(all) Linka!

No!

Come on, you druggies.

No more bliss until you get those Planeteers.

(all) More bliss. More bliss.

(all) More bliss. More bliss. More bliss.

Linka, help us call Captain Planet!

Oh, you're just trying to bring me down.

[swallows]

That's right, my little bliss-brain.

Go on. Get high.

Take your paws off her, you rat!

(Kwame) ‘Do not be a fool, Wheeler.’

You will never make it past these addicts.

‘Maybe | can help.’

Earth!

[rumbling]

Water.

splash

[groaning]

What's the matter? Afraid to get your feet wet?

Get back up there!

(Wheeler) "This is no good! It's a stand-off!’

| have an idea. Can you distract Skumm?

Don't worry. | know how to cheese off that rat.

Fire!

Yow!

Man, that really burns me up.

But | got the bliss formula right here.

| can make more in minutes!

Oh! Hey!

Come on, my little Planeteer.

Let's brew up some more bliss. Huh?

Hey, come back here!

Go, Ma-Ti!

[all murmuring]

After them, you addicts!

[panting]

[water splashes]

[laughing]

Linka, Skumm is coming.

[laughing]

Oh, Ma-Ti, do not be so uptight.

Skumm is not such a bad guy.

[all murmuring]

(Wheeler) ‘Coming through!’

[chanting] More bliss! More bliss! More bliss.

Aah!

[intense music]

(Gi) ‘Hurry!’

(Linka) ‘Oh, please, let me go back.’

[echoing] Hello! Hello!

They couldn't leave the capitol unprotected.

Why is it when the city's under siege by zombies

you can never find a cop?

Heart.

[pulsating]

| sense that everyone who did not flee the city

is now high on bliss.

They went in here!

[all chanting] More bliss. More bliss. More bliss.

That should hold them.

But for how long?

Linka, you got to help us call--

(Ma-Ti) ‘What is happening to her?’

Linka, stop taking that stuff. It's poison!

Oh, no, Wheeler. | need bliss.

Without it, you cannot imagine the pain.

Ah, | need more.

[banging]

(all) More bliss! More bliss!

(Kwame) Get furniture. Block the door!

[banging continues]

[intense music]

Let me in, Linka.

Skumm will give us bliss.

Oh, no! She's gone.

Okay, Wheeler, think.

If you were a zombie, where would you be?

The vice president's office!

Come on in, Boris.

No!

Ugh! Aah!

Oh!

How could you help him?

Don't you know what they'll do to us?

[chuckles]

| was afraid, like you, Wheeler.

Boris had to slip bliss in my food.

But now | am so glad he did.

Oh, come on. Please try it, Wheeler.

- For me? - What's wrong with you?

Take a look in the mirror

and see what this drug has done to you.

[chuckles] What do you mean?

| look beautiful.

Oh!

Aah!

(all) More bliss. More bliss. More bliss. More bliss.

[intense music]

crash

Upstairs quick!

It's only a matter of time before they break through!

[music continues]

More bliss.

Lie down.

In case you don't know it, you're hurt bad.

Gi, that traitor is the one who got Linka hooked.

The drug made him do it.

Oh yeah? Well, nobody made him take the drug.

He did that to himself.

[all chanting] More bliss! More bliss!

crash

[indistinct shouting]

(Wheeler) You guys, I'm lost.

As an American, | hate to admit this

but | never took the tour of the capitol.

| did. The dome is this way.

[all chanting] More bliss! More bliss!

[intense music]

- Be careful. - Hurry.

Now what do we do?

[hissing]

Well, now they've got nowhere to go but down.

Oh, | must have more bliss.

Yes, more bliss.

| bet this is one place your tour did not take you.

[glass shattering]

Kwame, help!

[grunting]

Aah!

Aah!

We'll save you, Ma-Ti. Hold on!

| plan to!

Who wants more bliss?

You'll get a whole bottle.

And all you have to do

is give those planet punks a little push.

Anything!

But give it to me now!

Here you go!

(Linka) ‘Boris!

Save some for me.

Linka, don't!

Nyet. If anyone touches my bliss

| will blow them away!

Wind!

[pulsating]

Your mind is too polluted to use your ring.

[gasps]

Boris? Boris, what is wrong?

[intense music]

Bliss killed him.

I'm sorry.

No. You are lying.

Boris, it's me, Linka!

Wake up!

Linka, he's dead.

No, no, no!

[crying] Oh, Wheeler!

These things killed Boris.

Oh, without bliss, | cannot stand the pain.

[glass shattering]

Linka, you have to stand it!

You have to use your ring now!

| cannot.

Concentrate! Do it for Boris!

Yes! Let our powers combine!

Earth.

Fire.

Wind.

Water.

Heart.

[pulsating]

By your powers combined

| am Captain Planet!

(Planeteers) ‘Go, Planet!’

[instrumental music]

[indistinct murmuring]

[music continues]

You've gone way too far this time, Skumm.

Polluting people's minds is a new low, even for you.

Hey! It wasn't my fault. | just hand it the stuff.

| ought to give you a dose of your own medicine.

No! Please, don't make me an addict.

Lucky for you | don't play your game, Skumm

but according to my house rules, dealer always loses.

Hey!

[wind howling]

[fire crackling]

(Captain Planet) ‘So much for the product.’

‘Now it's time to clean up your act.'

Yoooow!

(Kwame) ‘I'm glad those people are getting medical help.’

But they've got a long, hard fight ahead of them

to kick the bliss habit.

It's okay to cry.

They say withdrawal is the worst kind of pain.

Nyet. It is not as bad as losing Boris.

I'll get my revenge, Captain Planet.

You're not the big cheese here.

That reminds me. I'm hungry.

Hey, wait a sec.

| feel funny.

[groaning]

No! I've polluted myself!

No! No! No!

(Planeteers) ‘Go, Planet!’

Some drugs are good for you, but many can be harmful.

Only use medicine you get from your doctor or your parents.

These can keep you healthy.

(Gi) ‘Illegal drugs are dangerous.’

They can damage your mind

as well as your heart, your lungs, your whole body.

‘Cause only a fool thinks drugs are cool.

And if you've got a drug problem, get help.

You can choose not to take drugs.

The power is yours!

Earth!

Fire!

Wind!

Water! Heart!

(Planeteers) ‘Go, Planet!’

(Captain Planet) ‘By your powers combined’

‘lam Captain Planet!’
