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!

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

[tires screech]

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!

[theme music]

The power is yours!

[instrumental music]

[animals squeal]

[intense music]

[squeals]

(Stalker) ‘Over there!’

[squeals]

Those two infants will complete our order.

Stay with the female!

How do we handle the other one?

[gunshot]

[squeals]

That's how you handle them.

[chitters]

(Mame) You know nobody wants to buy older animals.

[music continues]

Look, mother, twins!

Well, don't just stand there.

Get them down!

Alright! You heard her!

If you have to, kill the mother.

[distant squeals]

How can you be so sure we're tailing

Mame and Stalker Slaughter?

They leave a deadly trail.

Da, they kill 10 birds

for every one they capture alive.

The Slaughters are poachers.

They do not care about the animals

only the profit they get selling them

to private zoos and collectors.

Sounds like the slaughter's back on, come on!

[chattering]

(Stalker) That fills our order two orangs, five gibbons

four marmosets and a dozen parrots.

Then let's head for the airport.

[chitters]

[both grunt]

[grunts]

Get that ape!

[grunts]

You incompetent oaf!

Now we need another baby orang.

Cursed beast!

(Linka) 'Wind!"

That's what | call a blow for freedom, babe!

It's those bleeding-heart environmentalists.

[chuckles] I'll give them a bleeding heart.

[gunshots]

(Linka) What are you doing?

Get those apes to the half track!

Don't you know smoking kills? Watch!

[intense music]

You're up, Little Mermaid!

Water!

Anybody for a quick dip?

[all shriek]

[rumbles]

We'll never catch them now.

Water!

(Ma-Ti) ‘Planeteers, over here!’

[Suchi chitters]

| cannot believe the Slaughters!

[all gasp]

Suchi!

[both chitter]

Look, a baby orang!

Hurt! We aren't gonna hurt you.

[both chitter]

[indistinct chatter]

| wonder if she is alright.

[laughter]

What a clown, with that red hair

she reminds me of "| Love Lucy!"

[both chitter]

Hey, be nice, Suchi.

Say "hello" to Lucy.

[chitters]

(Gaia) Don't tell me you're jealous of a baby, Suchi!

[grunts]

(all) Gaia!

Planeteers!

I'm afraid little Lucy

may not survive without her family.

And between poachers and development

there are only a few thousand orangutans left in the world.

- So few? - Yes.

And if this little one is gonna make it

you must find her mother.

Lucy's, future is in your hands, Planeteers.

But Gaia, we don't know how to take care of a baby.

Then you must find someone who does, Wheeler.

[squeals]

Man, it looks like the inmates are runnin’ the asylum.

What happened here?

Poachers. It's nothing new.

Developers want my land.

‘Poachers want the animals | rescue. '

They all want me out.

The government tries to protect us.

But there are lots of people

willing to break the law for a fast buck.

My guess is the same sleazeballs we're trackin' hit your camp.

| don't care about the mess

but they took Zamba, one of my orphaned orangs.

He's weak and may not make it.

What about, Lucy?

That formula will help

but what she really needs is her mother.

How will the poachers get the orangs out of the country?

(female #1) ‘They'll probably lie to get’

‘export papers from the Ministry of Trade.’

(Kwame) ‘Then that is where we must go'

‘before time runs out for Zamba and Lucy.’

[both chitter]

(male #1) ‘| cannot disclose official records. '

But these killers are breaking the law!

- There is no evidence. - Of course not!

They're not gonna announce they're smuggling apes!

They'll claim they're shipping something legal.

This is not your concern.

(Wheeler) Oops! Sorry, I'll get it.

(male #1) Give me those!

[car rumbles]

(Wheeler) ‘Got it, the permit said they're’

going to Singapore, air freight.

(Kwame) ‘Then we'd better get back to the airport.’

(Gi) ‘Before it's too late.’

[both chitter]

[screeching]

Huh? Not those kids again!

[rumbles]

There's nothing like an extra pair of sharp eyes.

Stalker! Throw them off!

Yes, mother.

[engine starting]

Oh, no, you don't.

[engines rev]

(Linka) ‘Look! He has the animals!’

[air plane rumbles]

[chitters]

| hate backseat drivers.

[chitters]

Blast those kids!

[revving]

You have him now, Wheeler!

[rumbles]

[screeches]

[dramatic music]

Great! Where'd he go?

We'll find him.

[engine starting]

Linka, look out!

Fire!

[tires screech]

Ahh! Ah! uh!

[engine revs]

Never mind him! Let's get the orangs.

- Empty?! - What is it, Gi?

- The crates are empty. - They tricked us.

(Wheeler) Over here! Linka's hurt!

Are you okay, babe?

My head, | am so dizzy.

They're getting away!

[airplane engine rumbling]

To the Geo Cruiser, quickly!

[whirring]

[gunshots]

[all scream]

[rumbles]

(Gi) ‘Come on! Let's follow them!’

- Not in this. - Now what?

(male #2) ‘Hire yourselves a plane?’

- Huh! - Who are you?

The name's Bailout.

[rumbles]

Man, you sure bailed us out.

| guess that's how you got your name.

Have you been flying long?

Yep, even used to fly for animal exporters.

You smuggled animals?

Oh, no. | flew legal.

But lots of little ones like Lucy, died anyway.

So, | quit.

You know, you don't even have to

report animals that die in transit

‘put you bust a coffee mug and they wanna’

‘hear about it in triplicate!’

[rumbles]

[engine stuttering]

Dang! | lose more planes this way.

| have a feeling this is why they call you Bailout.

Yeah, only this time | forgot to bring the parachutes.

[all scream]

[dramatic music]

Hang on, everybody!

It's gonna be a rough landing!

Not if we can help it.

Let our powers combine!

- Earth! - Fire!

Wind!

Water!

Heart!

By your powers combined, | am Captain Planet!

Looks like your plan has taken a nosedive

not to mention your plane.

Flying is safe, it's crashing that's dangerous.

Maybe you should call him "Bailout!"

[wind howling]

[tires screech]

(Bailout) Well, if there's any way

| can make this up to you, l..

Yeah, change your name to Nosedive.

No more monkey business, Planeteers.

It's time to find, Lucy's mother.

The power is yours!

[airplane rumbles]

This was their plane, alright.

Everything's gone including the animals.

[chitters]

Lucy, what is wrong?

Maybe she needs more of that formula.

- What's the matter? - Lucy, is sick.

She needs a doctor!

(Kwame) ‘A special doctor’

who knows about apes.

(Gi) The clerk told us that a woman

called a vet to the airport this morning

‘to care for a sick orangutan.’

- The Slaughters? - It must be.

She wasn't sure which vet showed up

‘put we got the name of one'

‘who's good with apes.’

| hope he is very good.

[squealing]

[cycle bell dings]

This should help her malnutrition.

Then Lucy will be alright?

Physically, but she is also depressed

‘and apes can die from depression.’

(Linka) ‘She must miss her mother.’

Absolutely.

And the best medicine is to

reunite them as quickly as possible.

We're tryin’, doc, her mom was smuggled into Singapore.

We were hopin' you were the vet who met

the creeps at the airport.

No!

It was probably Dr. Ing.

He deals with animal traders.

(Wheeler) It was Dr. Ing, alright.

He wrote a prescription for Zamba.

| charmed the nurse into telling me

the name of the pharmacy.

Charmed? You?

Hey, when you got it.

Anyway, the Slaughters are supposed to

pick up the medicine around noon.

(Gi) Then we better step on it.

(Wheeler) ‘| sure hope we didn't miss ‘em. '

[horn honks]

[both chitter]

[chuckles]

Lucy wants to play.

This is a good sign.

We got a winner!

‘Stalker Slaughter, come on down!’

[engine starting]

Now it is time for us to do some stalking.

[engine rumbles]

[tires screech]

[dramatic music]

[screeches]

(Linka) Huh, exotic pets is a funny name

‘for endangered species.’

What do you wanna bet Lucy's mother is in there?

[indistinct chitter]

Can | help you?

Oh, just looking, thank you.

Now, Suchi.

[chitters]

[birds screeching]

Stop! What are you doing?

[birds screeching]

- We're in! - Nice going, Yankee.

Look at all these poor animals.

Sshh!

(Stalker) ‘Should we dump the mother orang?’

(Mame) Not yet, we need her to keep the baby quiet.

Let's nail these guys.

He trapped us!

- What's that? - It's those brats again.

This'll hold 'em. Ha-ha. Let's go!

We're locked in!

[tiger growls]

Bon appetite!

[tigers growling]

(male #3) And stay out!

[engine ignites and revs]

[horn honks]

[both screaming]

C'mon, let's find the others.

[tigers growl]

Easy, Wheeler. No fast moves.

Okay, but maybe if | give them a hot foot

we won't look so tasty.

Careful not to hurt them, Wheeler.

We're about to become tiger chow

and you're worried about them?

They're really just big pussycats.

[both growl]

Wind!

Linka! The second pussycat!

[growls]

[all scream]

[thudding]

[chitters]

Thanks, guys.

Come on, there is no time to lose!

[engine revving]

(Kwame) They have a big head start.

| am afraid we may never catch them.

Look!

At least we're on the right track!

Oh, no, it is Zamba, the orphan.

- Is he, is he.. - Da..

[chitters]

[screams]

[Suchi chitters]

Now the police will have to listen.

(Ma-Ti) ‘SO you see, sergeant'

we think the Slaughters are still in Singapore.

There must be something you can do.

Possibly, if you're willing to take a risk.

Hey, we were almost tiger treats today.

How much riskier can it be?

(Mame) It's older than we wanted, but I'll take it.

Let's do business again sometime.

Well, how about right now?

- Huh! - Police!

You are under arrest!

Hey, no bailin’ out this time!

- Easy now! - Oh, yeah?!

[squeals]

[grunts]

Hang on, Stalker!

[engine ignites]

[grunts]

[tires screech]

After them!

[sirens wail]

They'll not get far!

[tires screech]

[sirens blare]

Easy prey.

[tires screech]

[sirens blare]

[grunts]

Stalker, you fool! Stop them!

Yes, mother.

[tires screech]

(Mame) Not that, you numbskull!

It's too valuable.

Hey, the ship's leaving without us.

(Mame) Lily-livered louse!

Mame Slaughter, calling the Sea Merchant.

What do you think you're doing?

- Wait for us! - 'No can dol!’

(male #1 on radio) ‘We're making a run for it!’

Then so am |!

[engine revs]

[all scream]

We've lost them.

Can't you call the Coast Guard or something?

(male #4) They'll never find them in this soup.

(Gi) But we know someone who can!

Let our powers combine!

Earth!

Fire!

Wind!

(Gi) ‘Water!’

Heart!

What the..

By your powers combined

| am Captain Planet!

[chuckles] Uh, surprise!

(Captain Planet) ‘Ahoy, mates!’

Looks like, Ma-Ti's decked out for trouble.

Get back, you blue baboon

unless you wanna see the boat's propeller

make Planeteer puree.

Uh, actually, I'd prefer if you didn't

stir things up, ma'am, uh, Mame.

[grunts]

- Oh, ah! - Ma-Ti!

[gurgles]

- Going up! - Now what?

But what about the animals, mother?

There are plenty more where they came from.

I'm saving my hide.

This oughta net me a nice return! Ah!

[both grunt]

You see, now, that's what | call

getting wrapped up in your work.

[blows raspberry]

[laughing] My sentiments exactly, mom.

Oh, what are you doing?

A-are you mad?

They're dangerous animals!

Hmm! probably what they'd say about you!

[indistinct chatter on radio]

[engine ignites]

[siren wails]

Thanks for your help, Bailout!

(Bailout) It was a bumpy ride, but, uh

at least we're lookin’ at a smooth landing.

Hey, look who's here, Lucy!

[chattering]

Well, Planeteers

this has been quite an orangu-tangle.

Great work, Planeteers.

But as long as there are poachers

‘Lucy and her family are in danger.’

(Gaia) "Yes, but as long as there are Planeteers’

‘there is hope.’

Aw, you'll miss Lucy too, eh, Suchi?

[both chitter]

(Planeteers) ‘Go, Planet!’

Many exotic birds and animals are not born in captivity

they are stolen from their natural habitats.

(Linka) ‘Poachers kill many animals’

‘to get just one into a store’

But wild animals are not pets.

If people refuse to buy wild birds and animals

‘poachers will stop hunting them. '

(Ma-Ti) ‘It is up to all of us'

‘to protect our animal friends.’

(Wheeler) ‘And preserve their homes in the wild.'

(all) The power is yours!

Earth!

- Fire! - Wind!

- Water! - Heart!

(all) Go, Planet!

By your powers combined, | am Captain Planet!
