Original subtitles

(Captain Planet) 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.

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

[theme music]

From Eastern Europe, Linka, with the power of wind.

From Asia, Gi, with the power of 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!

The power is yours!

[ominous music]

[sirens wailing]

[helicopter whirring]

Bozhe moi!

| cannot believe that anything

could push a person to burn their own neighborhood.

(Kwame) ‘Think of all of the people who will be left homeless.’

(Gi) ‘And animals. Look at those fires.’

‘The ash will pollute the ocean. '

This is what happens when people lose heart.

- There's a hot spot. - Quick, over there!

- Come on, | need a hose.. - Grab that ladder over there.

- 'It's a hot spot. Come on.’ - ‘Bring it over.’

[intense music]

[dog barking]

(Gi) Ma-Ti, what is it?

I'm not sure.

Heart!

Someone is trapped inside.

[thuds]

[fire crackling]

We will never get through this.

- We neea-- - Water!

Can you find them?

This way.

[man grunting]

Over here! Help me, please! My daughter's trapped.

[girl crying]

It is too heavy. Earth.

- Daddy. - Hurry!

[crashes]

| don't know what I'd have done if | lost my little girl.

- How can | thank you? - There is no need.

It's spreading too fast.

If it hits that tanker, the whole block will go.

- 'What in the world! - 'Get out of here.’

- 'Get out of here, let's go.' - 'Come on guys, get back.'

Wind!

(Kwame) It is too much for us.

Then it's time for a team beam.

Let our powers combine.

Earth!

- Fire! - Wind!

- Water! - Heart!

[theme music]

By your powers combined, | am Captain Planet!

Thanks for inviting me, Planeteers.

This party is a gas.

Fill her up. Ohh! Aah!

[all gasp]

[indistinct chatter]

[groaning]

[grunts]

[coughing]

[wind howls]

[coughs]

Are you alright?

Medium. Actually, medium rare.

The worst is over here, Planeteers.

You can take care of the rest.

The power is yours!

[rats squealing]

Firefighters struggle against the endless blazes

as the rioting continues.

Hundreds of stores have been vandalized.

And damage is already in the tens of millions.

| love it. Fear and looting in the inner city.

But it's child's play compared to the unrest

I'm going to ignite in the Big Apple.

[cackling]

[indistinct chatter]

[chuckles] Really, Wheeler?

Trying to flirt at a time like this?

Give me a break, Linka. I'm just doing my job.

Sorry, | was just kidding.

You have been in a miserable mood lately. Is something wrong?

Look, why don't you just get off of my case?

- Are you okay? - Yeah, sure.

I-| just have a lot on my mind.

Come on, my friend. This is not like you.

What is wrong?

[sirens wailing]

| don't know. It's just, | talked to my mom

and she said my dad's really sick.

His liver's shot. Big surprise.

Anyway, she wants me to come home.

- Then you must go. - What's the use?

My dad can't stand me. We never got along.

Then you must try to make peace with him

and stop feeling sorry for yourself.

Wheeler, | never really had a chance to know my father.

"You cannot pass up yours.’

[upbeat music]

This place was always a pit. But this is unbelievable.

Aah!

- Aah! - What's your hurry, pal?

Ah, wait, please!

No! Hey, stop!

[groans]

[groans]

Home, sweet home.

[siren wailing in distance]

[sighs]

Here goes nothing.

(mom) ‘Who is it?’

l-it's me, Mom.

Oh, I'm so glad you're here.

(dad) ‘So the bum finally came home.’

- What's he want? - Good question.

Now, honey--

Look, coming here wasn't my idea.

Then why don't you just turn around and get out of here?

Listen, Mom, I-I can't deal with this right now.

I'll be back later.

[upbeat music]

Trash.

That about sums it up.

[window shatters]

- What the-- - Gah! No!

- You okay? - Yeah, sure.

- Hey, what's going on in there? - It's a rave.

- Rave? - You from another planet?

Everybody knows about rave parties.

Man, what a jerk.

Guess I'm out of touch.

(male #1) ‘Oh, yeah. Get over here. '

[upbeat music]

I'm looking for Trash.

- Watch it. - Watch it yourself.

- Wheeler? - Frankie?

- It's good to see you, man. - What are you doing here?

I'm looking for the punks that ripped off my ring.

[chuckles] That was you?

What are you doing hanging out with that kind of scum?

Hey!

| want my ring back.

- Then try and take it. - Look, | don't wanna fight.

- Just give me my ring. - What's wrong?

You gonna run away again, Wheeler?

- Do | know you? - Yeah.

[grunts]

Intimately.

[grunts]

[grunting]

[glass bottles smashing]

No!

What the... Trish?

Trish doesn't exist anymore.

I'm her alter ego, Trash.

What happened to you?

You had all those plans.

You were a terrific artist, Trish.

| told you, the name is Trash.

Look it, you got your ring, Wheeler. So buzz off.

[instrumental music]

[door swings open]

[water gurgling]

Welcome, my dear Trash.

- Have you got the stuff? - It's in the alley.

We'll hit the west side tonight.

Excellent.

Happy trashing.

Frankie, what's the story with Trish?

It's the same deal with all of us.

She tried juggling a job and school, like | did.

But it just didn't work.

Face it. For us, it starts and ends on the streets.

Hey, you can't believe that.

[chuckles] It's reality, man.

Look, if we can't clean up the hood

then we may as well trash it.

But that's insane.

Look, | don't get off on wasting things.

| just hang with the gang. What else is there?

Yo, Frankie, up for some action?

Time to trash a few buildings and smash up some Cars.

- No way, you can't-- - Hey, you're not my father.

Besides, if | was so important to you

where you been the last couple years?

- Come on, check it out. - No way.

Aw, tough-guy Wheeler wussing out again?

O-okay. Count me in.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure it was one of those Planeteers.

| need that eco-meddler out of my way by tomorrow night.

| don't want him fouling up my plans.

Trash and her gang are going to spark a riot

that will leave this city a cozy nest.

Rat's nest, that is.

[cackles]

[rock music]

[indistinct chatter]

[smashing]

Now, to sign it.

See, Wheeler? I'm still an artist.

| think I'll call it Ode to the Inner City.

Trish, uh, Trash, please, this is our neighborhood.

| mean, why destroy it?

Ours? You split a long time ago.

Yeah. But my parents still live here.

Come on. Don't you remember how my mom used to make you dinner?

How she loved your paintings? They're still up.

You mean your daddy didn't sell 'em for booze?

Great.

[train chugging]

[instrumental music]

(Wheeler) ‘What are you guys doing?’

(Trish) We're hitching a ride downtown.

- You're jumping a train? - It's a kick.

It's also an excellent way to get killed.

So what's your point?

Come on, Wheeler, or should | say, "weenie."

[clucking] Run home, chicken.

Run home to your mother.

(dad) ‘| see you're still running with those losers. '

‘Some things never change.'

Yeah, some things never do.

Tell me what you're doing with that red-headed kid.

Look, he's just a guy | used to know, okay?

So what's the big deal?

| don't want you hanging around with him.

He's a bad influence.

Geez, everyone's my father lately.

Where does he live?

Hey, just leave him out of it.

Hey, he's that Lush Wheeler's kid.

- Who asked you? - Find out what's eating her.

- And the Wheeler kid? - Off him.

[instrumental music]

Hey!

[both laughing evilly]

You dirty rats!

Fire!

Watch out! Watch out!

[both yelling indistinctly]

(Skumm) ‘Hey, firebug.'

| could use a destructive guy like you on my team.

Care to join Trash and the gang?

Skumm, you slimy rodent!

(Skumm) ‘I'll take that as a no.’

Aah!

Too bad the pyro planet pest won't be around

to see his trashy ex-girlfriend light up the town tonight.

[cackling]

[coughing]

Fire!

[thuds]

[sirens wailing]

Man, this stuff is outrageous.

It should definitely liven up the party.

Alright. I'll catch up with you at the convention center.

[helicopter whirring]

(mom) ‘You've got to bend a little, too, please?’

Don't lecture me, Mom. Me and Dad will never see eye to eye.

Look, | know he doesn't always show it.

- But your father loves you. - Come on, Mom.

You know he doesn't want me here. I'm gonna take a walk.

I'll-I'll be back for my stuff a little later.

[intense music]

Hurry. We'll mount this one.

| thought you'd never show up, Trash.

Come on, come on, come on. Let's go!

T-Trash, wait.

- Wheeler, get out of my face! - Listen to me!

You're wasting your life.

Look, I'm not in the mood for one of your lectures.

Forget it, then.

Just tell me where | could find Frankie.

- Try the morgue. - What do you mean?

Frankie froze, okay?

He lost his nerve at the tunnel. Then he lost his head.

- Frankie's dead? - He's probably better off.

How can you be so cold?

Why don't you just crawl back under your rock

and leave me alone, okay?

- Skumm's on his way. - Trish! Trash!

[sighs] Here goes nothing.

[grunts]

Trish, wait!

[instrumental music]

Aah!

Hang on!

[helicopter whirring]

Aah!

Help! You got to help me, please.

| warned you to stay away from that planet punk!

Now you'll see how disposable Trash really is.

[grunting]

Come on.

Ah, look.

- Thanks. - Sure.

| just can't believe that Skumm would let me die.

But | didn't.

| forgot who my real friends were.

Don't sweat it.

What we need to worry about right now is Skumm's plan.

Oh, what's the use?

Hey, stop feeling sorry for yourself.

Nothing is gonna change in your life until you do.

There's another meeting at the convention center.

A bunch of bigwigs talking about cleaning up the inner city.

- Skumm's gonna torch 'em. - Let's go.

Listen up. Skumm's crossed us!

We've got to stop him.

[helicopter whirring]

(Skumm) Are you ready?’

The deal's off, Skummface.

No problem.

| never really expected children to execute my plan.

| just wanted you around to take the heat.

And you will.

Fire!

[explosion]

- How the-- - | have lots of hidden talents.

Stay here. I'll take care of Skumm.

Ready or not, here | come!

Time to cut the apron strings.

[Skumm cackles]

No!

You're a persistent piece of trash.

What's she doing?

[engine sputtering]

[explosion]

[coughing]

Trash!

[gasping]

[coughing]

[instrumental music]

Are you okay?

| am now.

You guys have done a fantastic job

cleaning up the neighborhood.

Thanks. We dedicated the project to Frankie.

- So, where you off to now? - Back to the Planeteers.

| just got to go sneak into my folks' apartment

and grab my stuff.

Aren't you gonna try and set things right

with your dad first?

Ah, it's no good. He can't stand me.

Like someone | know once said

"Nothing's gonna change till you do."

Stop feeling sorry for yourself, Wheeler.

Maybe I'll go home and give it one last shot.

You don't have to. Your dad's here.

- What? - | invited him.

[coughs] | bet you think you done something pretty special.

- Look, Dad-- - Well, | sure think you did.

It's a miracle.

You shouldn't be down here, Dad.

Ah, I'm okay.

| heard you were leaving.

| wanted to say thanks for coming, uh, to see your mom.

Right. You take care of yourself, Dad.

Yeah. Yeah, you, too, son.

Don't be a stranger.

Well, time for me to hit it.

I'm glad to be leaving the place in such good hands.

Like your dad said, don't be a stranger.

| won't. Hey, take care, Trash.

The name's Trish.

(Planeteers) Go, Planet!

Environments aren't just places where plants and animals live.

Wherever you are, it's an environment.

Whether it's your bedroom or schoolyard.

‘And your environment is more than simply’

the physical things around you.

It's also about people and how they interact.

‘People who sell drugs and fight create a negative environment.’

But if those same people changed their attitudes

they can help create a healthy environment.

Don't be part of the pollution. Be part of the solution.

The power is yours!

Earth!

- Fire! - Wind!

- Water! - Heart!

(all) Go, Planet!

By your powers combined, | am Captain Planet!
