(Captain Planet) The power is yours!

[birds squawking]

[mellow music]

(MAL) '| don't understand’

‘why you won't share your project with the cast.’

Oh, don't get a bug in your operating system.

I'm just about ready to unveil my latest ingenious invention.

(Blight) 'Ta-da!'

Well, it's about time.

That's exactly what it's about, time.

I've created a new and improved time travel transporter.

What took you so long, kid?

Am | seeing double?

No, just me today..

And me tomorrow.

| decided I'd build a time portal in the present.

So that in the future, I'd remember it

and go back to the past to visit myself.

Wowee-zowee.

And who is this compact cutie?

MAL, meet GAL, your upgrade.

Back off, you laptop loser.

I'm gigabytes ahead of you.

Ooh, she'll make a spunky co-processor.

Oh, nice blighted garden you have here.

Doctor future dearest..

Has time dimmed your vision?

This place is sickeningly gorgeous.

Ugh! Jeepers, this guy's artificial intelligence

is lower than the average trash masher

where | come from.

Check it out, mini hertz.

[explosion]

(GAL) ‘We're in the middle of a minefield.’

One of the little treats left over from the most recent war.

This used to be farmland.

Now, if anyone tries to plant anything

‘or sneak up on us, it's..'

Kaboom!

Yeah, it's a blast now

but in 20 years, where | come from

people have lost their senses and become, ugh, peace loving.

Shockingly, a good bomb is hard to find.

- No! - Yes.

There's hardly ever a decent war.

They're cleaning up old minefields.

Neutralizing chemical weapons

and storing old nuclear waste securely.

The future sounds dismal.

Well, fortunately, there are still

a few warmongers running around.

If | had just one nuclear warhead

‘| could sell it to the highest bidder’

‘make a fortune, and ignite a new arms race!’

I've got an even better idea.

Hmm, and it's not a bad idea at that.

How do you know what it is? | haven't said it yet.

Don't forget, sweetie, I'm you in the future.

| know everything you think because | already thought it.

Get her away from me.

Don't be a weenie, MAL.

We've got a bomb to build.

| have a formula for refining weapons-grade nuclear material.

But heck, some countries are so lax with the nuclear materials

from disassembled weapons

it's easier to steal plutonium than to make your own.

(Future Blight) ‘Then, bombs away!

[both laugh]

[jet buzzing]

[tires screeching]

What was that?

Hey, big boys.

Would you pull over

for a beautiful damsel in distress?

Sure! If we see one.

[men laughing]

Park it, bucko!

And it is reported that the plutonium was stolen

from an unescorted military transport truck.

(Linka) Bozhe moi!

Plutonium in the wrong hands is a disaster waiting to happen.

And that's just one of the byproducts of war.

The actual fighting is only part of the pain and suffering.

(Gaia) ‘Civilians as well as peacetime forces’

‘have to live with the after effects.’

‘Contaminated land and water. Unexpected health problems. '

- Like in the Gulf War? - Exactly, Gi.

The missing plutonium poses

not only a threat of nuclear terrorism

but the risk of environmental contamination

that would make the Chernobyl disaster look minor.

And that accident made thousands of people sick.

Then we'd better track down that plutonium, pronto!

[thunder rumbling]

(Blight) "That was like taking plutonium from a baby.'

| make quite a team, eh, cutie?

(MAL) ‘Um, excuse me, doctors dearests.'

But our payload's too heavy to handle this storm.

Let's jettison MAL. He's dead weight.

Hey, I'm state of the art!

More like scrap parts.

[alarm blaring]

Whoa!

(Blight) ‘Cool it, you two!’

We've got to lighten the load.

(MAL) ‘The plutonium has to go.'

Oh, no.

This stuff's gonna make me rich.

You mean me.

Don't be greedy!

We're the same person.

Well, in that case

| might as well enjoy the money while I'm young.

No way. You'll squander it before | ever get any.

[both grunting]

We've got to dump the plutonium or we'll crash!

Never. I'll bail first.

Sayonara, suckers!

Hey, granny, don't forget that if | bite the big one

you're history, too.

Then let's stop yapping and get going.

We have a date with destiny.

Of course, you'll need my mega drive and talent.

Hey! What about me?

(Blight) ‘The captain always goes down with the ship.’

But I'm not the captain!

Congrats, MAL, baby. You've just been promoted.

(MAI) ‘Lucky me. Aaaah!'

[dramatic music]

(Gi) ‘We're nearing the place where the plutonium was stolen.’

[beeping]

What in the world?

(Gi) ‘Oh, what's happening?’

(Gi) ‘Some kind of weird electrical field.’

We have lost power.

- We're going down! - What's happening?

[screaming]

Team beam time!

Let our powers combine.

Earth!

- Fire! - Wind!

- Water! - Heart!

By your powers combined, | am Captain Planet!

Whoa. Looks like they shocked till they dropped.

[thunder rumbling]

Planeteers, we're caught in a warp

in the space-time continuum.

| think | can repel the storm.

Just don't tell anyone about my repulsive personality.

- It is working! - We have power.

That's what I've been telling them all these years.

Thanks so much, Captain.

Now to find out what happened to the plutonium.

Maybe they'll have some answers.

Everyone, hands in the air, now!

This must be the rest of the terrorist gang.

You think we nabbed the plutonium?

Where have the women taken it?

- Women? - Do not be coy.

The ones with the scarred faces and...Spandex.

(all) Blight?

The bad doctor and plutonium don't mix.

We've got to stop her.

You are all under arrest.

Sorry, but you've apprehended the wrong plutonium perps

and we've got to catch the real ones, fast.

[all screaming]

- Hurry up. - Move it!

Stop him!

[gunshots]

No need to get all fired up.

We're the good guys.

(Gi) "The way those soldiers were talking..'

‘It sounded like there were two Dr. Blights.'

Now, that's a doubly disgusting thought.

Well, hang onto your cookies, Cap..

Because there are two Dr. Blights.

And they're in the past altering history

to ensure a more war-filled future.

Or is that present?

That explains the time warp we were caught in.

Planeteers, you've got to stop both Blights

before the new future is now.

Happy trails. The power is yours!

(Future Blight) ‘Don't even think about thinking about cheating.’

| win, girly. | built my bomb faster than you.

No fair! You had GAL to help.

I'd have won if we hadn't ditched MAL.

| could beat Microwave MAL

with one disk drive tied behind my circuit board.

Well, my bomb's bigger, so it's better.

Whatever. We've got two killer bombs.

So, let's find the highest bidder.

With World War II in full swing

that'll be as easy as eins, ZWeéi..

(both) Drei!

[hovering]

Any luck tracing Blight's ship?

According to our readout the radiation footprint

leads all the way across southeast Asia?

(Gi) ‘And then the plutonium trail vanishes.’

[dramatic music]

(Gi) ‘We're nearing ground zero.’

There! Dr. Blight's ship.

(Wheeler) ‘Looks like it crashed. '

Nowhere to land here.

| will set down near that village.

[villagers chattering]

[dogs barking]

Come on, come on! Move it!

I'm picking up a strange electrical disturbance up ahead.

Hurry, let's take this path.

No!

[thudding]

[explosion]

[all screaming]

What was that?

Land mine left over from the war.

Land mine? They did not remove them after the fighting stopped?

No. In fact, some militant groups are still planting them.

Well, thanks for stopping us, uh..

Tai-Li. Me and my friends used to play here until..

This happened.

My friend Ming Su was not so lucky.

That is awful.

Our parents warned us about the mines but we just didn't listen.

How are we going to get through?

| don't know, but with that plutonium

the Blights could start World War Ill.

If there's that much at stake, | can guide you.

But whatever you do, stick close.

[bird squawking]

Count on it.

[gunshots]

[warplanes humming]

[screaming]

(Blight) ‘So big spenders, let's get to the bottom line.’

With our bomb, you can rule the world.

With or without your bomb, | will rule the world!

Boy, is he in for a big surprise

if he doesn't spring for our bomb.

You will sell it to the highest bidder?

That's right, and this atomic bomb

will make conventional weapons look like toys.

Nein, that is preposterous.

The technology for refining weapons-grade material

does not exist.

It does where we come from.

- Huh? And where is that? - The future.

[all mumbling]

[gasps]

What? Never seen an anti-gravity, radium-powered

super artificial intelligence before?

Gentlemen? Gentlemen! And | use the term loosely.

Our little demonstration should dispel your doubts.

[explosion]

[all gasping]

The radiation will poison the villagers.

That's the reality of it.

Think of it as the weapon that keeps on killing.

Aw, don't get your knackwurst in a knot.

The villagers already evacuated for fear of your puny bombs.

Fuhrer, this weapon is too destructive.

Nonsense! Nothing is more important in war than winning!

| bid 75 million Deutsche Marks for this atom bomb.

Higher, Fuhrer baby.

Do | hear 100 mil, anyone?

(Wheeler) So, Tai-Li, where's the best place to get a..

What kind of burgers you got here, anyway?

Get real, Yankee.

- Freeze! - What is it?

A tripwire for an antipersonnel mine.

Then let's trip it.

Everyone back. Fire!

[explosion]

(Ma-Ti) There is Blight's ship! But what is wrong with it?

It is some kind of electrical anomaly.

| think | can balance it out.

Man, talk about a hard landing.

Oh, GAL, you have the cutest little giggle bytes.

Mwah, mwah...

Boot up, disk-head!

GAL..

Huh? Ah-ha! Planet pests.

Precisely, MAL, and we want some answers.

Where's Dr. Blight, for starters.

Oh, right, sure.

Would you prefer to have your hard drive re-initialized?

Wait! Let's not be hasty. What the hay, they bailed on me.

So, you're saying Dr. Blight and..

...Dr. Blight are in the past selling atomic bombs?

(MAL) ‘Mm-hmm.'

We cannot let that happen.

And | suppose you eco-twerps think you can stop them.

With your help, unless you want your circuits scrambled.

[clears throat] Well, the time machine's just behind you.

I'll send you back to the Dr. Blights..

And GAL.

But the crash damaged the mechanism

so you won't have much time in the past.

Then we better move fast!

Now what are you doing?

Just programming a timer to reverse current and create

a polarizing magnetic field.

Good thinking, Gi.

If MAL wants to keep his memory intact

‘he needs us to return and disable it.'

(Gi) Right.

Um, hurry back.

[gunfire]

| bid one billion.

I'm out. The bidding is too high.

Stop bidding against me or | will invade you!

On second thought, | have enough bombs.

Well, then it looks like the big blast

is sold to the man with the caterpillar on his lip.

Going once, going twice..

(Wheeler) ‘Hang on there!’

[all gasp]

- The Planeteers! - What is this?

This is low.

Even for a Blight.

What are you doing with that, that barbarian?

Just ensuring a badder future.

Hey, Fuhrer, arrest these geo jerks

or they'll spoil everything.

What do you think you're doing?

Silence! Bring in the troops!

Ja, mein herr!

We'll arrest the future frauleins, too.

Just what do you think you're doing, shorty?

What | planned to do all along. | am taking my bomb!

But the auction.

The fuhrer does not barter. He conquers!

And you said we could trust this guy.

Me?

Well, there's no such thing as a free bomb.

[beeping]

Oh, doctors, doctors, you seem to have armed the bomb.

[all grunting]

We need reinforcement.

Then let our powers combine.

Earth!

- Fire! - Wind!

Water!

[grunting]

Heart!

By your powers combined, | am Captain Planet!

The Planeteers have gotten themselves into

another explosive situation.

[firing]

I'd better dive for that bomb.

[shattering]

[groaning]

Cap, are you okay?

[growls]

| wasn't prepared for the level

of hatred radiating from that monster.

Prejudice and hate are as toxic as any other pollutant.

Come on! We're history!

Got to get far enough away to keep the fallout

from falling back to Earth.

[explosion]

I've heard of neutron bombs, atomic bombs, even smart bombs..

But there's no such thing as a good bomb.

Aah!

[instrumental music]

Here comes the cavalry. Or is it the infantry?

Thank you, Captain Planet.

You two timers have caused enough trouble here.

So it's back to the future.

Get ready, the time portal’s opening.

Quickly, Tai-Li, the portal will not hold for long.

Be right there.

[whispering] Here, please give this..

What did you give that soldier?

Just a letter.

Hey, soldier, can | cut you a deal on some atomic formulas?

Ah!

Hmm. Better get this to our science boys.

Could be important.

Get real, parsley head.

You can't make us de-mine that field.

Uh, maybe you can.

It's mines like yours that created those killing fields

so it's only fitting you clean them up.

We wouldn't be in this mess

if you hadn't had that hare-brained idea

about selling atomic bombs.

Well, whose idea was the time machine anyway?

Cork it, you old bitty!

Looks like Dr. Blight's really beside herself.

- MAL! Do something! - GAL! Do something!

(GAL) Oh, MAL-ikins, you saved me! My hero.

You make my disk spin.

Ditto, my digital darling.

[static crackling]

It is time for us to get back to the Geo-Cruiser.

I'll guide you back.

[indistinct chatter]

- Wow! - Great!

Tai-Li, how?

You know that letter | gave to that soldier?

Yes.

It was a strong warning to

my grandparents about the minefield.

Apparently | listened this time.

Guess that proves that if you pay attention to the past

history doesn't have to repeat itself.

(Planeteers) ‘Go planet!’

We are all products of the world around us.

Teachers, friends, TV shows, and especially our parents

all make strong impressions on our minds.

(Kwame) ‘It is up to all of us to put our differences aside'

‘and learn to communicate. '

(Ma-Ti) ‘At home, school, play or work..'

Everyone appreciates respect and kindness.

So let's treat others the way we want to be treated.

(all) The power is yours!

Earth!

Fire!

- Wind! - Water!

- Heart! - Go planet!

By your powers combined, | am Captain Planet!
