Original subtitles

(male narrator) Our world is in peril.

Gaia, the spirit of 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 Eastern Europe...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!

[dramatic music]

(Captain Planet) The power is yours!

[intense music]

Happy Carbon Dependence Day!

To the reactive technologies business!

[glasses clinking]

[slurping]

[rat squeaking]

Wait till your hear my latest scheme.

Do tell, Blight-5. We're all dying to know.

Dying.

It can't be better than my oil-skimming

barges following leaky tankers.

Yes, Pillage, or me turning New York

into the largest toxic-waste dump in the world.

(Blight-5) Child's play, Duplistus.

I've just patented post-ingested

chemical recovery technology.

Predigested what?

As you know, fish have been unsuitable

for human consumption for nearly 100 years.

‘And though the synth-soy seafood substitutes’

‘sell at a fat profit..'

My real fish will dominate world sales overnight.

You found toxic-free fish?

Don't be ridiculous, Pillage.

But what | have is just as good.

(MAL) "Take your average fish today.’

‘Run it through the Blight-5 leacher and bleacher'

‘where the chemicals are removed. '

(Blight-5) ‘And voila, fresh fish.’

Amazing! Real fish.

And all those wonderfully toxic chemicals

are recycled back into the marketplace

with a huge markup.

Who would've believed you'd ever be

in the recycling business?

[laughter]

[whooshing]

Ow! What's going on?!

Keep quiet, or you and your world

will cease to exist.

| am Zarm.

| come from the time continuum with disturbing news.

You live in only one of an infinite number

of possible futures.

| like you, Skumm

and | want to help you continue the dirty work.

But your timeline is threatened by some unknown event

that will happen on this date

only over 100 years in the past.

The future that replaces yours is dominated

by pro-active technologies.

Any questions?

So, rather than cleaning up pollution,

it's avoided in the first place?

Exactly.

- No pollution? - That's horrible!

Without it, your world

this world, never exists.

Then, neither do we.

However, if you three were to travel back in time

and eliminate this clean technology

before it catches on

your existence should be guaranteed.

Sounds logical.

Use this time shifter.

It has one charge to send you back in time

and another for your return.

The return charge will activate automatically

but only after you have succeeded in your mission.

But which technologies do we attack?

That, I'm afraid, is up to you.

We'll just be creative.

And nasty.

You will face powerful foes in the past.

Relax, big guy. You've come to the right place.

(Wheeler) Okay, so, we agree.. It's capture the flag.

Gi and me versus you and Kwame.

Agreed. What about me?

Uh, sorry, little buddy.

Maybe you should sit this one out.

Ma-Ti, we want to sharpen our skills

for our next mission.

But | want to play.

Besides, heart power's important, too.

Okay, you can be on their team.

Hmm, | think you need him more.

Oh, no, you, uh, | mean..

Okay, we'll take him.

Anyway, it won't matter ‘cause Gi and | are gonna

wipe you out.

(Gi) ‘Water!’

Kwame!

There's their flag. | just need a diversion.

Let me help. Heart.

Wait, Ma-Ti!

[chittering]

(Ma-Ti) Now, Wheeler! Get the flag!

Uh, okay, here it goes!

[grunts]

[monkeys chattering]

No one is making a monkey out of us!

Wind!

[whooshing]

[groaning]

We win.

Sorry.

This is no time for games, Planeteers.

| need you in the Crystal Chamber.

We have an eco-emergency.

(Gaia) This last disaster was caused

by a malfunctioning solar array.

It makes no sense.

Solar power is one of the safest technologies available.

Then there was an explosion at a hydrogen-gas research lab

an accident in a wind-turbine field

And...well, you get the picture.

Someone must be sabotaging these new technologies.

We must get to the bottom of this.

| sense something is terribly wrong.

The accidents are occurring

on a Straight line heading north.

There are already 15.

The next likely target is this research center

30 miles northeast on the coast.

It's my turn, Pillage.

You got to blow up the last one.

- Ugh! - No, it's my turn.

(Blight-5) I'll settle this for ya, fellas.

[explosion]

Way to go, cheese breath.

[laughs] | once saw a heap like that in a museum!

| really hope they try taking on our pollution pods.

Ugh, we should have known the pack of eco-rats

was behind all this.

Alright, you dirt bags! Knock it off before we--

Hey, that's not Skumm

or at least not the Skumm we know.

Right, bucko.

We're just a few time trippers

here to ensure our perfectly foul future.

Well, we are going to keep our world clean!

Fine, sister, clean this!

[hissing]

Wind!

[all scream]

That does it! No one ruffles my hair!

[beeping]

Fire!

[laughs]

Is that the best you can do?

Water!

[Zapping]

[whooshing]

It's no use! They're too strong!

Now, that's what | call pathetic.

Yeah, pitiful.

Shall we?

[Zapping]

[screaming]

[laughs] So much for that.

Where to next? Follow me.

Forget you. Demolishing your last target

didn't send us back to the future.

Oh, dear. Every mutant's a critic.

That bunker was fast thinking, Kwame.

Now, we must do something about that.

[people shouting]

Earth!

(Linka) The ocean is too strong!

(Gi) What do we do now?

We got to catch up with those eco-thugs

before they cause more trouble.

[dramatic music]

| am picking up a signal straight ahead.

I'm projecting their course.

They're headed for a Geothermal Research Station.

[beeping]

[dog barking]

[whining]

[panting]

Oh, no.

[coughing]

Linka, turn us around!

Someone is in trouble down there!

We cannot stop to help one person.

The whole world is at stake!

- There they are. - We must circle back.

There is no time. Please! Now!

[groans]

Aww, isn't that sweet?

They're gonna try and save that little girl.

What a joke. This is what makes bad guys better, no heart.

[laughter]

(Blight) ‘That's rich!’

[gasping and coughing]

Water!

[Zapping]

Earth!

[grunts]

Grab hold!

[grunts]

Hit it, Linka!

Three miles and closing.

Hello, | am Ma-Ti.

[gasps] You are the Planeteers, yes?

[speaks foreign language]

| am Danielle, and this is Oggie.

We will help you find your parents

after we settle some unfinished business.

Uh, I'm sorry for being so much trouble.

| should not have jumped in after Oggie, but | love him.

| Know how you feel.

Following your heart does not always seem to make sense.

[alarm blaring]

[screaming]

[Zapping]

[explosion]

[intense music]

Fools! Flee while you can!

Buzz off, witch. We were here first.

What?

Is this some trick?

- Do you know who this is? - No.

This is my great-great-great-grandmother.

What, are you nuts?

| don't even have kids to experiment on.

Oh, you will.

We're your descendants from the future.

We're on a mission to muck up your environment.

Big time.

Oh, goody. Then give us a hand with this bomb.

| hired, uh, grandma here

to plug the top of this Geothermal Research Station.

All that clean energy

makes my polluting power plant look bad.

We can't have that now, can we?

But perhaps a 50 kiloton atomic explosion

would be more fun.

But you'll blow up my power plant, too.

Stop whining, Looten.

You'll get a fat insurance check.

Yeah!

Look out!

- Oh, not these insects again. - Get used to it.

These global geeks have a way of getting

in your face day after day.

Let our powers combine.

Earth!

Fire!

Wind!

Water!

Heart!

By your powers combined

| am Captain Planet!

Whoa! | need glasses.

Uh, for those of you unfamiliar with the drill

this is the part where we run for it.

Relax, granny.

This is the guy who hates pollution, right?

Yeah.

Then, we've got a

surprise for him.

Shall we, boys?

One, two, three.

One, two, three.

One, two, three.

Impressive, | hate to admit.

Thank you. Thank you.

I've enjoyed the fireworks, but the party's over.

No, blue boy, the party's just begun.

And you're not invited.

In the future, | guess, they don't build 'em

like they used to.

Uh-oh.

[grunting]

[groans]

Captain Planet!

[groaning]

No!

Toxic acid!

[all gasp]

[straining] Can't even return to the Earth.

That's right, kiddos.

[laughs]

He's melting! He's melting!

[laughter]

You idiots! Stop gloating.

What's your problem?

You're still here, aren't you?

You don't return until you Succeed, remember?

Oh, uh, yeah.

But now | know where you went wrong.

You let the little girl live.

(all) The girl?

(all) The girl?

What's she got to do with anything?

How should | know?

All | Know is, when you let the Planeteers rescue that girl

your timeline started to fizzle out on my monitors.

Your future is disappearing as we speak.

You still have a chance to save yourselves

but only if you eliminate the girl immediately!

Toast a little kid?

We can handle that.

Yeah, I'll get the jelly.

[straining] Run, Planeteers!

[grunts]

[indistinct chatter]

Hurry, Danielle! Follow me!

[Zapping]

[laughs]

Adios, amoeba!

Why don't you pick on someone from your own time?

| don't remember these guys.

That's because they're from a different future than you

same time, same channel, no pollution.

Big deal.

Let's fry 'em!

- Water! - Wind!

Fire!

[Zapping]

Hey, knock it off! Ow!

Whoa! Check it out!

That does it!

You future planet punks are really gonna get it!

Hurry! Your time is running out!

Let our powers combine!

Earth!

Fire!

Wind!

Water!

Heart!

Your powers combined

| am Captain Planet!

(all) Go, Planet!

[inhales deeply]

[whooshing]

Think fast!

(Captain Planet) ‘Whoops, ha, not fast enough.’

[crashing]

(Blight-5) Okay, that's it! I'm gone!

[explosion]

[dramatic music]

[gasps]

Thanks.

Hmm, nice to meet me.

Think it's time to, uh, clean up the neighborhood?

We're out of here.

[music continues]

Let's get going!

Okay! Okay! We give up!

Surprise!

[hissing]

[both coughing]

End of the timeline, kid.

[laughs]

No!

Aah!

Ma-Ti!

We did it! We're going back to our filthy future!

Fools! You zapped the wrong kid!

Your future's gone!

What?

(all) No!

What happened?

Your brave act eliminated the villains from the future.

'AS a result, they never existed to harm you.’

Ma-Ti, you are a hero.

Man, you changed my mind.

Heart is the coolest power of them all.

Heart? Humbug!

Right, uh, another day then.

I'm glad the future turns out so well.

You've avoided disaster this time, handsome

but stay on guard.

It's up to all of us to make sure our Earth

has a healthy future.

Little acts count as much as big ones.

Remember, the power is yours!

Hey, that's my line!

| think you've already seen too much.

Back to the future.

Wow! That was amazing!

Gaia, why is Danielle so important?

Don't tell her, but when she grows up

she will become a very successful businesswoman.

Danielle will unite the industrial nations

creating global standards of sustainable industry

and reducing pollution as never before.

I'm proud of you, Ma-Ti.

You did the right thing today.

Danielle, are you okay?

Yes, but...can | go home now?

[spray hissing]

- Do you have a problem? - It's weird.

| mean, the future Planeteers

two of them, they, they kind of look like us.

Do you suppose that we..

That is one future that is not possible, Yankee.

(Planeteers) Go, Planet!

(Ma-Ti) ‘The garbage we produce today'

can become the pollution problem of tomorrow.

It's your choice, you can throw all this away

or you can separate it for recycling.

Even leftover fruits and vegetables

can be put into a compost pile

and used to enrich your soil.

It's up to you what ends up in the landfill

this or this.

(all) The power is yours!

Earth!

- Fire! - Wind!

- Water! - Heart!

(all) Go, Planet!

(Captain Planet) By your powers combined
