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.

[tires screeching]

[theme music]

(Captain Planet) From Eastern Europe, Linka, with the power of wind. '

From Asia, Gi, with the power of water.

splash

(Captain Planet) And from South America, Ma-Ti, with the power of heart.

When the five powers combine

they summon Earth's greatest champion

Captain Planet!

[music continues]

The power is yours!

[thunder rumbling]

[intense music]

[plane engine revving]

This is fantastic!

[Suchi chatters]

| do not think Suchi agrees with you.

[thunder rumbling]

[Suchi chatters]

Do not worry, Suchi. We are safe.

[instrumental music]

Sorry to interrupt the show, Planeteers

but we have an eco-emergency.

There's trouble brewing in the wetlands.

‘And it's threatening the white ibis’

‘and other waterfowl.’

(Kwame) Are there not other places

they can nest?

No, Kwame.

Migratory birds need wetlands

to feed and fuel up for their long journey.

‘Between destruction of wetlands and chemical runoff'

these birds are facing extinction.

What can we do?

Find out who's behind this latest attack on the wetlands.

Bozhe moi! Who would do such a terrible thing?

[instrumental music]

[Greedly cackles]

This is more fun than shooting ducks!

[laughing] Yeah, boss, sitting ducks!

(Greedly) ‘One thing's for sure.'

With my new luxury housing complex

I'm gonna make a real killing!

[cackling]

swoosh

Uh-oh, boss, eco-geeks, aw!

Those puny planet pests won't be ruffling my feathers this time!

[instrumental music]

Suchi, wait here.

[Suchi chatters]

- What's going on here? - What's going on here?

What brings you geo-jerks to the sunny South?

Your senseless destruction, as usual, Piggish.

[laughs]

That's Hoggish, fauna freak.

And anyway, | got permits.

But the ibis need these wetlands to survive!

Ibis-shmibis, I'm clearing the place

and nobody can stop me!

[cackles]

Wrong, pork belly! Wind!

swoosh

[groaning]

Flatten 'em, Rigger!

[engine revving]

Fire!

[fire crackling]

[screams]

Yow!

[explosion]

Oh, no!

Hey, you wrecked my tanker!

This is getting out of hand!

Then let our powers combine.

- Earth! - Fire!

- Wind! - Water!

Heart!

[instrumental music]

By your powers combined, | am Captain Planet!

This situation is too hot to make fun of.

swoosh swoosh swoosh

[explosion]

Well, this disaster was a flash in the panhandle.

Who says you can never find a policeman

when you need one?

What in tarnation's goin' on?

| could see the blaze clear back in town.

We are glad to see you, sheriff.

Yeah. Arrest that swine!

Arrest me? Arrest them!

They wrecked my equipment.

And they're trespassing!

- What are you talking about? - What are you saying?

- Hold your horses! - Horses?

Sheriff, this, this Greedly is destroying protected wetlands!

[tires screeching]

Now who's that?

Larry Richards, Army Corps of Engineers.

This guy can prove that | got the right to develop the place.

Well, the permit's valid.

Criminals like Greedly shouldn't be given parking permits

let alone permits to destroy precious wetlands.

This document does, however

require you to create new wetlands

to replace the ones you're building on.

But Greedly will never--

Got the plans right here, Sheriff.

Now arrest the planet pains and the blue buttinsky

for destroying my property!

Sorry, fellas. | gotta run you in.

You best come along peaceful-like

if you know what's good for you.

Captain Planet, do something!

[sighs] No can do, Planeteers.

I'm a superhero.

And superheroes never break the law.

At least, not on purpose.

[instrumental music]

Remember, you have to replace the wetlands you drain.

I'll stop by later with some forms for you to sign.

Yeah, sure, no problem.

[engine revving]

I'll replace the wetlands, alright.

My development will generate enough sewage and waste

to wet lots of land!

[laughing]

What Greedly is doing is an injustice

to birds and to people!

Yeah, mainly us!

[telephone ringing]

Sheriff Hebbs here.

Got it! On my way!

I've got an emergency.

You stay put.

Now's our chance to bust out of this joint!

Sorry, Wheeler.

But a superhero on the lam just wouldn't do.

Where's Hicks?

The sheriff was called away.

So I, Deputy Snife, am now in charge.

I've come to drop the charges

against the misguided Planeteers.

- Let 'em go. - This is not like Greedly.

Ditto on that, Ma-Ti.

[keys jingle]

[intense music]

Hold it.

I'm not droppin’ the charges

against you, Captain Convict!

- What're you talking about? - Wait, what are saying?

[Suchi chitters]

We cannot leave without Captain Planet.

Go ahead, Planeteers.

Suchi and | will just chill out in the cooler.

The only way we can uncover Greedly's plan

is from the outside.

- Kwame's right. - Don't worry, Cap.

We won't let him send you up the river.

[metal clanks]

Let's head back to the Geo-Cruiser.

The suckers fell for it!

[laughs]

Yep, yep. They really fell for it.

Ah, boss, what did they fall for?

Messing around with a construction site is one thing.

But busting out of jail means big-time trouble

for the planet pukes.

And I've already hired my own private posse to hunt 'em down

especially since that Hick sheriff couldn't catch a cold.

You'll never get away with it!

Sheriff's back! Get goin'!

Oh.

rip rip

Wallowing in the dirt, are we, Greedly?

Oh, darn prank calls!

Huh?

[groans]

Sheriff, | came to sign a complaint

and discovered the Planeteers busted out.

There was a terrible fight.

And the kids got away.

But | did stop the blue bandito from escaping.

[chattering]

Sheriff, Pig-nocchio here is trying to bamboozle you.

Looks like those kids bit off more than they can chew.

[grumbling]

(Gi) ‘| ran some numbers on the new wetlands'

Greedly promised.

Creating them will cost a mint!

Assuming it could be done successfully.

Well, knowing Greedly's usual MO

he probably has alternate plans hidden somewhere.

Ma-Ti and | will check out Greedly's site.

We will go to the hall of records

and get a copy of the proposed plans.

[engine revving]

[instrumental music]

~ Nobody knows the pollutin' I've seen J

~ Oh yeah JS

[harmonica music]

I'll gladly pay to keep you two quiet.

Now, you're gonna pay for all the trouble

you and your friends caused with hard labor.

You were right, Gi.

It would cost Greedly a fortune to follow these plans.

He must have others.

Proving that will put the pig in the pokey in no time!

Unless we end up back in the pokey first.

What the..

(Linka) "The posters say that we're wanted'

‘for breaking out of jail?’

And there's a price on our heads!

[instrumental music]

Great, we're fugitives!

| will just straighten that sheriff up!

There's no way we'll ever be able to convince anyone

that Greedly framed us!

First, we have to get the goods on the hog.

Then we turn ourselves in.

(Hebbs) "You boys have your work cut out for you.’

You're gonna clean up the town.

No problem, Sheriff. Hang tight, Suchi!

[Suchi chatters]

swoosh

Well, I'll be a monkey's..

(Captain Planet) You okay, little buddy?

[Suchi chatters]

Litterers really bug me!

[bottles clattering]

Everything's ready to recycle, Sheriff.

Wow-whee!

| hope the judge gives this guy a nice Jong sentence!

(Kwame) | am afraid we could not get into Greedly's office.

The place was crawling with security goons!

- Then, we need a diversion. - No problemo.

I've seen it done a million times in the movies.

Kwame, you and Ma-Ti will team up like Butch and Sundance.

You up for some Mata Hari action, Gi?

Ah, sure.

And Linka can play Bonnie to my Clyde.

Okay, Claude. What is your plan?

That's Clyde. Now, listen up, you guys.

This is what we're gonna do.

[whispering] We're gonna go over..

[intense music]

[Greedly snorts]

Any sign of those planet pains yet?

Nah. But we're ready for 'em if they try anything.

What on Earth?

Mr. Greedly, you're not gonna believe

what just rolled up!

Oh, no! They've spotted us.

We must get out of here!

[snorting] Get them!

Hey! Where are the rest of the bio-brats?

Right here, jelly belly!

You get them!

We'll go after the others!

[engine revving]

Hey, wait for me!

On second thought..

[intense music]

Giddyup!

Step on it!

[chomping]

[door creeks]

Oh, sorry, bo..

- Huh? - Hello.

- |am very happy to see you. - Me?

You are ze executive in charge, oui?

N..

Yeah, I'm the boss.

What can | do for you?

| had a flat tire just down ze road.

Can | use the telephone?

| need to call a professional to fix it.

That's me. | could fix it.

[gasps] Could you really?

| will make it worth your trouble.

Be right back!

Now to get the goods on Greedly!

[camera clicking]

[engine revving]

How you doin’, dummy?

You had better not be speaking to me, Wheeler.

We're both gonna look like dummies

if we don't ditch the security car.

Follow my lead!

[instrumental music]

[grunting]

[tires screeches]

[screams]

crash

[tires screeches]

[grunting]

Hurry up!

[grunting]

Free food!

[slurping]

[horses neigh]

This way!

Whoa!

It is a dead end!

Thank you, my friends.

Now, what do we do, Sundance?

| did not see the movie.

But we have no choice. We must jump.

| was afraid you would say that.

[screaming]

[screaming]

[tires screeches]

Curse those eco-twerps!

| hope our wild ride bought Gi enough time

to find Greedly's real plans.

If not, we are really up the creek.

[instrumental music]

Ah, this is more like it.

| couldn't find your car.

But | found the tire.

Huh?

H-hey, you're no lady!

You're a planet pain!

Give me that camera!

What's going on here?

Ah, I-l| was just leaving.

Oh, no, you..

[grunting]

Hey, come back here!

[Hebbs snoring]

I'll second that, Suchi.

Ah! Ah! Oh! Ah!

thud

Nobody move!

Huh?

Hello, Sheriff.

We're turnin’ ourselves in.

[Suchi chattering]

Oh, that's a wise move.

Hey, weren't there five of you outlaws?

Gosh, Gi was right behind us. But don't worry.

I'm sure she'll make it in time for the hearing in the morning.

slam slam slam

Order in the court.

I'm ready to begin this hearing.

Get outside.

Make sure that meddling eco-geek

doesn't show up with the pictures

you let her take!

On my way, boss.

Who's representing the defendants?

1am, Your Honor!

And | will prove, habeas corpus

that we, the party of the first part, are innocent!

Have mercy, another TV-taught would-be lawyer.

| will also prove, beyond a shadow of a doubt

that Hoggish Greedly framed us!

Objection!

Your Most Honorable Judge..

...these eco-terrorists

tried to destroy the wonderful new development

I'm building to enhance your fine community.

- | object! - To what?

Order! Order!

There you are.

| need someone to sign these forms.

Mr. Greedly's inside.

No need to disturb the proceedings.

You can sign them.

Okay.

[instrumental music]

[scribbling]

Now, get lost. I'm busy.

Thanks.

[chuckles] Sucker.

[coughs]

Huh? Oh, no, you don't!

[yells] Stop!

These are the only copies of Greedly's real plans!

Without them, the wetlands are doomed!

(Rigger) ‘That's right!’

[laughing]

And I'll never be able to prove that we were framed.

Yeah. Me and Greedly framed you good, too.

'We really scammed this backwater town.’

- | object! This is hogwash! - Silence!

(Rigger) ‘What do we care about some stupid ibis’

‘in the local hill hole?'

(Gi) ‘But Greedly promised to replace the wetlands'

‘he's destroying!’

(Rigger) ‘We're gonna replace 'em alright’

‘with sewage and waste.’

[Rigger laughs]

slam slam

This hearing's over.

‘Captain Planet and the Planeteers'

are free to go.

But I'm not finished with you, Mr. Greedly.

Yeah? Well, | got other plans!

[dramatic music]

[engine revving]

- | better go after him. - Allow me, sheriff.

One last cleanup for the road!

| got her, boss!

snap

B-boss?

- Alright, Gil! - Great, Gi!

I'll take that.

Don't you know stealing is against the law?

[laughing]

| don't get it.

Y-you were all workin' together?

(Gi) Not exactly.

Last night, after Mr. Richards saw me photograph

the real plans in Greedly's office

he followed me back to our hideout

and confronted us.

After learning the real story

| agreed to help expose Greedly's scheme.

It was a great plan!

Unfortunately, Greedly got away!

! would not count on it.

[instrumental music]

It's time to take that smog hog in for an emissions check!

swoosh

squeak

screech

Huh?

[engine sputtering]

[coughing]

[grunts] You really should kick your smoking habit.

swoosh

Now, it's your turn to do time, Greedly!

[instrumental music]

[bird squawking]

[bird chirping]

It's hard to believe we nearly lost all this.

But from now on these wetlands will be a sanctuary

for the ibis and other waterfowl.

Hey, where's my big blue bud?

[Suchi chatters]

Don't worry, sheriff. | didn't skip town.

| was just making these license plates for you

out of some materials | recycled from Greedly's project.

Well, it's my official duty to inform you

that we're dedicating these wetlands

to Captain Planet and the Planeteers!

And | see you've already got a cleanup crew.

[grumbling] We gotta clean up all this garbage and trash up

and it's buildin’ up a lot of hunger.

This is all your fault, Rigger!

splosh

Ugh!

(Planeteers) Go, Planet!

(Gaia) ‘Birds are a vital part of our ecosystem.’

‘But many birds face extinction’

‘because of thoughtless development.’

Migratory birds and many native species

cannot survive without wetlands.

It is up to us to protect them.

Write your local and national leaders.

Ask them to protect precious wetlands.

Ask your parents and friends to write, too.

Your letters do make a difference.
