Original subtitles

(Captain Planet) 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.

[instrumental music]

From the Soviet Union

Linka, with the power of wind.

From Asia, Gi

with the power of water.

[music continues]

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!

[theme music]

(Captain Planet) The power is yours!

[water rushing]

[birds chirping]

(Sludge) ‘Ah, it's nice to get away’

‘from that rat race in the city’

‘and pollute the wilderness. '

[laughs]

[knocks on door]

Who are you, and what do you want?

I'm from the EDA., and--

Not another one.

Don't you environmental agency people

have anything better to do than to hassle me?

You've been warned before, Mr. Sludge.

Now your illegal dumping days are over.

Uh-oh.

legal dumping? Mo/?

I've been analyzing water samples

taken from the river near your pumping station.

Look at these photos.

Ah, pictures of the family?

No, microscopic camera enlargements

of parasites and bacteria

from untreated sewage you are dumping in this river!

Don't bother to deny it. We're way ahead of you.

Uh, lady, if | were you

I'd worry about what's behind you.

This is a court order shutting the P.U. pumping station down.

[laughs]

[mechanical whirring]

Sorry. We can't read that order.

Hey! What are you doing?

The print's too small.

[laughs]

Put me down!

Yech! Don't you ever wash your hands?

[laughs] | got to admit, doc

‘that dimension distorter of yours'

‘sure reduces my legal problems. '

They never learn, do they, MAL, baby?

They keep coming, and we keep shrinking them.

And our little collection keeps growing.

[both laughing]

(Wheeler) ‘Gaia said Sly Sludge is somewhere in these woods. '

- Let's start looking. - Have patience, Wheeler.

We have a lot of ground to cover.

That is why we need a base camp.

We could be searching here for days.

No.

We could be here for days

just putting up these tents.

Can | be of some assistance?

| do not need your help.

| have everything under control.

Okay.

Aah!

I'll get some water to boil for drinking.

Wheeler, don't drink river water without purifying it.

It could have diseases in it.

Are you kidding, Gi? This is pure mountain water.

[monkey chitters]

What is it, Suchi? Did you see something?

[chittering continues]

Sly Sludge. Where?

[monkey chitters]

Let's go, Planeteers.

[water splashing]

[instrumental music]

[engine revving]

What a smell!

Now | know how Suchi found this place so fast.

Raw sewage is flowing right into the river.

Pure mountain water, huh?

I'll just boil this when we get back.

Oh, no. It's those planet punks again.

I'm going to flush those

eco-neatniks once and for all.

[alarm blaring]

[sniffing]

Ah, the sweet smell of excess.

[liquid gurgling]

We need a plumber, and fast!

| know one who's always on Call.

Let our powers combine.

Earth!

Fire!

Wind!

Water!

Heart!

[instrumental music]

(Captain Planet) By your powers combined

| am Captain Planet!

(All) Go, Planet!

[grunts]

Time for some good old rock 'n' roll.

[thuds]

Now, that's what | call

a great plumbing job.

Hey, you haven't even seen the bill.

Stand still, you big blue do-gooder.

| wish you'd let me try, doctor.

Your arm is too short, MAL.

We can't stop Captain Planet.

You're on your own, Blight.

You traitor!

Typical human cowardice.

I'd never desert you, MAL, baby.

- | got him! - Out of my way!

He's trying to steal the eco-sub, Captain Planet!

Here's another vine mess

you've gotten yourself into, Sludge.

Huh? Hey! Wait!

| was just going to take it for a test-drive.

[radar beeping]

That's it. Hold still.

(Kwame) ‘Oh, no, you don't.’

It is over, Dr. Blight.

Oh, I'm out of here!

Stop where you are, Dr. Blight!

Hmm! She'd never desert me?

"Never" took about one minute.

P.U.! I've had about all

| can inhale for one mission.

Planeteers, why don't you turn this trash into something good

like the authorities?

The power is yours!

Yeah, we got him on reckless polluting

and grand theft sub.

Cheer up, Sludge.

You have plenty of time to read up

on waste water treatment in jail.

That's so funny | forgot to laugh.

Wait a minute. Where's Kwame?

I'll hide here.

He'll take this fake rock for granite.

[laughs]

Where did she go?

| hope you didn't think | ran out on you, MAL, baby.

The thought never entered my data bank.

Now for the fun part.

I'm going to make a little change in their plans.

Kwame must be dealing with Dr. Blight.

We'd better help him.

- Whoa! Bozhe moi! - What's happening?

Oh, no. She can't.

Ah! She wouldn't.

(Ma-Ti) We are caught in some kind of ray.

How cute.

Micro Planeteers.

She shrunk us!

(Wheeler) Either that, or it's the attack

of the amazing colossal Dr. Blight.

[laughs]

[all screaming]

Well, what have we here?

Oh, I'm getting an idea that's nasty

even for me!

| have lost her.

| must get back to the others.

Hey, doc. Don't forget I'm in here.

I'm on your side, remember?

Oh, | remember, Sludge.

| remember.

What are you doing to me?

I'm being as loyal to you, dear

as you were to me.

[Zapping]

Ooh, how delicious.

| always thought Sludge needed to reduce.

Delicious is the word, MAL.

Rig for crash!

[all screaming]

I'll put all of you in the one place

your Planeteer pal will never find you

inside him!

Mm.

My mouth is as dry as the Sahara.

Where did the eco-sub go?

Kwame has come to save us!

No, he hasn't! He's come to drink us.

- 'Kwame, no!’ - ‘Stop!’

[all screaming]

Earth!

[rumbling]

Let me go, eco-creep

or you'll never see your friends again.

And why is that?

Because you just drank them!

[laughs]

No! It is not possible!

[all screaming]

Kwame's stomach acids are taking

the paint off the eco-sub.

We have to get out of here before he really gets hungry.

Wheeler, head for his intestine.

[all screaming]

You maniac! Bring back my friends!

Let me out of here, and we'll talk.

| do not trust you, Dr. Blight.

Oh! My s-stomach hurts.

And the room is spinning.

| feel terrible.

Ooh!

[groaning]

Oh, this is too perfect.

There must have been polluted

river water in that canteen.

Parasites are already attacking

your intestines.

(Linka) If my calculations are correct

we are now in Kwame's intestine.

Let us try the forward spotlight.

Oh, no! Waterborne parasites!

They came from the polluted water.

(Wheeler) ‘Maybe you should have left the lights off, Ma-Ti.'

Bozhe moi!

They are attacking the eco-sub!

Aah!

They're gonna open us like a can of sardines.

Get me out of here, you stupid eco-geeks.

Do not call us stupid.

You are the one who polluted the water.

| will try to reach Kwame.

Heart!

Oh!

MAL, bail me out of this prison.

Your arm is still too short.

And whose fault is that, doctor?

You installed it.

Do something, improvise

or I'll shrink you into a pocket calculator!

Alright. Alright.

Don't go away. I'll be right back.

| cannot get through to Kwame.

Then our only way out of here

is to cure Kwame of these parasites.

| will go.

My ring can summon Kwame's antibodies

to battle these invaders.

Hang on. I'm going with you.

If it wasn't for me, Kwame wouldn't have

drunk polluted water.

[thinking] | got to get out of this polluted Planeteer.

Be careful, Ma-Ti. And you, too, Wheeler.

Hey, does this mean you care?

Heart! Calling all antibodies.

[instrumental music]

Diseases are very hard to cure.

Most of them the body can't fight off by itself.

Lucky for Kwame he has friends

who are real insiders.

Oh.

Well, come on, you pair of parasites.

This intestine ain't big enough

for the three of us.

Fire!

[fire blazing]

(Ma-Ti) ‘That did it!"

Ooh! Ooh!

My stomach feels like

it is on fire.

Right. Now, let's just review.

‘| push down this end of the lever’

‘which lights the match for the blowtorch’

‘and at the same time raises the cheese’

‘which makes the lab rat run, which turns on--'

This isn't a science fair, MAL. Just do it!

For a doctor, you have very little patience.

It's those little patients of mine I'm worried about.

Hurry!

[machine whirring]

[thuds]

[machine whirring]

Aah! Can't you do anything right?

Oh, well. Back to the old drawing board.

(Wheeler) "Whoa! Talk about bouncing off walls.’

We should be entering Kwame's liver.

This is where the parasites will probably lay their eggs.

(Wheeler) "You can say that again. Look at them!’

How do you like your handiwork, Sly?

Yech!

People all over the world

suffer diseases like this

from water pollution.

We must stop these eggs from hatching

or else Kwame will be permanently infected.

More worms? | can't take it anymore!

| got to get out of here! Help!

Help!

Aah!

[coughs]

Thanks. | didn't need that.

[instrumental music]

| can help you.

After all, two thirds of the human body is..

...water!

My turn! Fire!

[fire blazing]

| will call in the cleanup committee

and see that these get recycled.

Heart!

Way to go, Planeteers!

[monkey chitters]

You were supposed to make a right turn at the bile duct.

Do you have any idea where you are going?

No, but when we get to the next gas station

you can ask directions.

If we can reach Kwame's brain

maybe my ring will be close enough to communicate with him.

It's worth a shot.

[groaning]

(Dr. Blight) ‘Take your time, MAL.’

It looks like the parasites

are attacking that planet brat's brain.

- Did you hear that? - Oh!

| don't think I'll hear anything else for a week.

| told you to stay in the main artery

but nyet, you had to take shortcut.

Stop arguing. We're in Kwame's ear.

So his brain is to the left.

- 'What are those lights?’ - 'Kwame's thoughts. '

‘Let us hope he does not have a brainstorm’

‘while we are in here. '

Oh, no. The parasites are in here, too.

We must stop them now.

Kwame's life depends on us.

|! am going with you.

Your wind power won't be much help.

Kwame's no airhead.

It is better than staying behind

and baby-sitting Sludge.

Hey, go on. Have fun.

Don't worry about me.

[electricity zapping]

They're coming our way! Water!

[intense music]

[parasite groans]

Fire!

[parasite groans]

Heart!

Wheeler, look out!

You guys don't know when to quit, do you?

Fire!

Hmm. | am feeling better.

Hold it right there, MAL.

[electricity crackling]

Oh, no. Oh! Oh!

My circuits are shorting.

My circuits are shorting!

My circuits are shor..

Oh!

| have short-circuited

your escape plan, Blight.

Maybe.

But remember your tiny friends

because you'll never be able to get them out of your mind!

[laughs]

Ahh!

[grunting]

Ah. That does it.

| ain't gonna be bait for no worm.

So long, planet suckers!

[laughs]

[chittering]

Here. Stay out of my hair, you little ape.

[screeching]

Hey, Sludge! Come back

you ponytailed parasite!

[electricity crackling]

(Linka) ‘We will never catch him. '

Stealing our sub, he has got a nerve!

Not only that, but he's in one

the vagus nerve, which leads right to the lungs.

The lungs?

That gives me an idea.

We must get to Kwame's nose.

How is getting into Kwame's nose

going to help us get Sludge out of his lungs?

| have a plan

and it is nothing to sneeze at.

Wind!

Mm. What is going on?

Ah...ah...ah..

[sneezes]

Hey! What's going on?!

Ah...ah...choo!

Wind!

[wind howling]

Heart!

Ma-Ti? Is that you?

I'll tell him how to operate the dimension distorter

if he'll make me normal size again.

(Ma-Ti) ‘And lastly, Sludge says'

‘push the button and raise the lever.’

This had better be right, Sludge.

Once a traitor, always a traitor.

[beeps]

[machine whirring]

(all) Whoa!

Well done, Kwame!

[parasite hissing]

Oh, no! We had a stowaway!

Let our powers combine.

Earth!

Fire!

Wind!

Water!

Heart!

[instrumental music]

(Captain Planet) By your powers combined

| am Captain Planet!

(All) Go, Planet!

That looks like one powerful parasite.

| better put it under wraps.

Whoa! Ooh!

[grunts]

[parasite groans]

Hey!

You're putting a lot of pressure on me.

| think | need to chill out.

[parasite hisses]

Oh, no, you don't.

Hal!

You're not gonna worm your way out of this.

Now to cut you down to size.

Out of my sight, parasite.

[Zapping]

[clears throat] Before you deactivate that machine

we're eager to get growing.

(female #1) 'Uh, you see, Sly, your untreated sewage’

‘is being treated in this pond'

'to become fertilizer.’

‘The irony is'

‘we Call it sludge.’

This stuff's good for the environment

and they call it sludge?

Eh, | feel about this tall.

| could arrange that.

[grunting]

[laughing]

(Planeteers) Go, Planet!

People upstream dump wastes into rivers and lakes

without thinking about the people

downstream.

Just because water looks clear

doesn't mean it's safe to drink.

Water can contain all sorts

of microscopic organisms.

‘Once inside you, they can make you really sick.’

So never dump your waste into lakes or rivers.

And if you have any doubts about

drinking water, boil it first.

The power is yours!
