(Captain Planet) The power is yours!

[instrumental music]

(Wheeler) ‘Whoa! Big mama sure is a beauty.’

| wouldn't get too intimate, Wheeler.

Hey, you want great animal shots

you gotta get up close and personal, right?

[elephant trumpets]

Whoa, not that personal!

Come on! Over here!

Yah!

[intense music]

Aah!

Need a lift? Cutting it a little close, eh, Chike?

(Kwame) Amazing how something so big can move so fast.

You ain't kiddin’.

| almost got stuck between Jumbo's cuticles.

There's a shot that'll keep you out of trouble, Wheeler.

(Linka) ‘This country is like the Garden of Eden.’

(Rick) ‘And as long as these little guys are around'

it'll stay that way.

- What is it? - Tsetse fly.

They cause sleeping sickness in cattle.

So ranchers have to stay out of their territory.

Pretty powerful little fella.

(Rick) ‘Yeah, but massive pesticide

‘spraying is wiping them out’

‘opening this land for cattle ranching’

and other development.

But there must be ways to use the land that won't hurt it.

(Rick) ‘Sure, game ranching, for one.’

Trophy hunting and tourism bring in some bucks as well.

Yes, when I'm not working on films with Ricky

| make a pretty good living leading photo safaris.

| wish everyone would trade their guns for cameras.

To each his own.

"The most important thing is to preserve the resource.’

Aah!

[chattering]

I'll get you, you little..

You're not supposed to feed the animals, Wheeler.

[laughing]

Very funny.

Besides getting people to laugh

at comedy shots of Wheeler

do you think this film can really make a difference, Rick?

| hope it will get people to start respecting the land.

‘At the very least, it'll be a reminder’

‘of how much we're losing.’

If anyone can bring attention to the devastation of Africa

it's Ricky.

[engine sputters]

Uh-oh. Darn battery. We need a push start.

[lion roaring]

With that out there?

You don't look like much of a meal.

[lion growls]

Nice kitty. | hope.

Ultralights! Cool!

Not as cool as the place we're going.

‘And these helmets have radios'

‘SO we Can communicate with each other.’

I'll catch up with you in the delta.

Right now, I've got some rhinos to tag.

[instrumental music]

(Ma-Ti) ‘I've never seen so much wildlife in one place.’

(Rick) It's the dry season.

‘Animals from all over migrate here for water.’

[crocodile grunts]

[hippo roaring]

(Rick) Now get ready for one of the most

‘memorable sites you'll ever see.’

[Rick gasps]

‘What? Ah!’

‘It wasn't like this a month ago.’

[hippo grunts]

[elephant trumpets]

- 'What could've caused this?’ - That dam?

(Gi) ‘Those hoses are sucking up all the water.’

This is unreal.

[dramatic music]

Don't know who's behind this atrocity.

Without water, the animals will never make it.

Then we must help them. Heart!

(Ma-Ti) ‘Turn back, my friends. There is danger ahead.’

(Rick) ‘Impressive, Ma-Ti.'

But thousands of thirsty animals are migrating this way

‘and we can't stop them all.’

Maybe we should split up and follow

the pipes to their sources.

We can't just leave these animals here to die.

(Rick) "You're right. Kwame, Linka, Wheeler.’

Follow the north pipeline and see what you'll find.

[whirring continues]

‘We'll land here and do what we can, then head south.’

(Wheeler) ‘Sounds like a plan.’

(Rick) ‘Wheeler, film everything you see.’

- 'We need evidence. ' - Gotcha.

Chike, change of plans.

| heard it all, Ricky. Sounds awful.

I'll see what | can find out in town.

Meanwhile, you be careful.

[music continues]

[elephant trumpets]

(Ma-Ti) ‘Start with them, Gi.'

Water!

[water splashing]

[groaning]

Easy, now. Heart!

That's one.

This is gonna take a while.

[hippos groaning]

(Kwame) ‘Cattle, that explains why they rerouted the water.’

But why is the land on the cattle side so messed up?

(Kwame) ‘This ecosystem is fragile.’

‘Cattle graze it to death, literally.’

Who would start a cattle ranch here?

(Wheeler) ‘Would you believe? Hoggish Greedly!'

(Rick) That's all we can do for these animals.

The important thing is getting their water back.

(Wheeler) ‘Let's get this crate down so me and my camera’

‘can get the goods on Greedly.'

Wheeler, your radio's open!

Get off the air before the wrong people hear you!

(Greedly) ‘Too late, bio-boobs.'

| hear ya and see ya.

We gotta get that film, Rigger.

Right, boss! Uh, how come?

If the Global bank people find out about our bad-beef scheme

‘they might cancel our loans. '

Oh. Oh!

[brakes squeak]

What about my allowance?

Unless we clip the snoopeteers' wings..

[gasps]

Consider 'em clipped, boss.

- Careful, Yankee! - No sweat, Linka.

(Wheeler) Nothin’ to worry about.

[gunshot]

[screaming]

Oh!

We are out of the flying pan and into Greedly's line of fire!

[explosion]

(Ma-Ti) ‘Looten Plunder's Diamond Mine!’

Bad news.

What would they need water for?

(Rick) ‘Cooling and processing, no doubt.’

But we're going to have to go in and document it.

(Gi) ‘| doubt Plunder will welcome us with open arms.’

More like loaded arms.

(Rick) This air vent should lead to one of the main shafts.

All clear.

[grunting]

[instrumental music]

Pay dirt!

This is what they're using all that water for?

(Rick) ‘Right, and wrecking the land to boot'

just so few people can get rich.

Phew.

Working down here must be terrible.

(Plunder) ‘Ha, ha! You think our miners have it bad?'

Wait till you see what we do to meddling eco-spies.

Greedly took care of your little friends

and tipped us off.

Looks like we're caught between a blockhead

and a hard case.

Um, you can be the blockhead, Oakey.

- Oh, no. You, Dokey. - No, no, you.

- Unh-unh. - No, you're the one!

I'll take that camera.

Ah, ooh, ooh! Ooh! Ow!

[gunshot]

[groans]

- Mr. Plunder, you okay? - Wake up.

- Come on, get up. - Let's get out of here!

[intense music]

[panting]

After them! They're getting away!

It-it ain't safe, Mr. Plunder.

Why not?

Well, remember how you told us to

fix the brakes on those mine cars?

Y-Yeah, we, um, well..

Well, we didn't quite get around to it.

Uh, no, we didn't quite get to fixin' the track, neither.

Your negligence could end up hurting people!

Ooh, and | like it.

(Dokey) ‘We did good?’

[intense music]

Looks clear. Let's stop this thing and find a way out.

- Uh-oh. - 'No brakes!’

[screaming]

No leaving till we get to the station.

Maybe this'll help!

[wheels screeching]

We're going way too fast!

Fast is okay.

It's stopping that's going to hurt.

[screaming]

Hang on to me!

Whew! That was exciting.

Plunder nearly got us that time.

- Nearly doesn't count. - Yeah.

But | wonder what Greedly has done to the others.

Hey. Yuck. Check it out.

(Kwame) ‘Ugh! Cattle are not native to Africa.’

They have no immunity to local parasites or disease.

(Rigger) But, boss, I'm afraid of the dark!

You should be more afraid of me!

| want that film.

Head for that building over there.

Time to make like cows and mooove.

Wheeler!

| gotta get this.

(Linka) ‘DDT and dieldrin?’

‘Those pesticides are so deadly’

‘most countries have outlawed them.'

With all those Planet-pains runnin’ around

we better speed things up.

Uh, what are we doin'?

(Greedly) ‘Dumpin’ this DDT on the delta.’

‘It'll kill every tsetse fly and mosquito around. '

[Greedly laughing]

Why do we wanna kill bugs, boss?

‘Cause then we can use that land for cattle ranching

and convince the pencil heads at the Global bank

to finance draining the rest of the wetlands.

But the pesticides will end up in the beef.

So what?

I'm not gonna eat it.

In fact...nobody is.

- They're not? - Of course not!

This whole project's pork. Our cows ain't fit to eat.

[snorts]

Bozhe moi! Are you recording this conversation, Wheeler?

Tape's rollin’, babe.

And now it's time for us to roll.

Come on. Home free.

[can clatters]

| found the Planet-punks, boss. Yip! Yip! | found 'em!

Get 'em!

Not this time! Wind!

Let's boot!

- We're out of here! - Over my dead body!

[tires squealing]

Hang tight!

Fire!

[snorts] I'm gonna exterminate those Planet-pests!

| don't get it!

‘Bio-brat brains should be everywhere!’

| thought we were lookin’ for bones, Dokey.

Yeah, | know, Oakey. But this ain't a bone.

Ow! No, but it sure is pretty.

(Oakey) Hey. S-See, Mr. Plunder?

Don't bother me with your nonsense.

Okay. Wonder if | can get any shiny thing out.

[grunts]

It's harder than | thought.

There's the ultralight.

- We made it. - Or maybe not.

- Good to see you! - You're okay!

[gunshots]

Let's crank this baby up.

[gunshots]

Watch out for that pipeline!

Huh?

| will buy us some time. Earth!

[screams]

[thud]

| can't get enough lift.

Then we need a push. Wind!

Oops. They got away.

(Kwame) ‘There they are, Greedly's pesticide planes.’

We need more speed. How about another boost, Linka?

Da! Wind!

Hang on!

Since you're the booster for this buggy

Kwame, Gi, and | will do a little wing walking.

- Go, Kwame! - Right!

[dramatic music]

Aah!

Aah!

Wind!

Gotcha!

That's far enough.

Okay, okay!

But why are you doing this?

Mr. Greedly's going to make me rich.

Oh, yeah? Has he ever paid you for anything?

No.

And he's not gonna. Think about it.

Greedly's long on promises and short on payments.

‘Mission accomplished. '

Nice work, Planeteers.

‘Two down, one to go.’

[aircraft whirring]

After we drop our poison payload, Rigger

we'll go back and take care of those eco-insects.

Don't have to, boss. They're right next to us!

Huh? Then it's bug bombs away!

[elephant trumpeting]

There you go, little guy.

(Chike) ‘Ooh, looks like trouble.’

[explosion]

That cloud's headed this way.

Talk about a big bug bomb.

Hey, Kwame, it's time for a nightcap.

Then let our powers combine. Earth!

Fire!

Wind!

- 'Water!' - Heart!

By your powers combined, | am Captain Planet!

I'll just drop in and put an end to Greedly's deadly downpour.

(Captain Planet) You've got 10 to bail, Greedly.

I'm confiscating this plane to clean up your mess.

No, you.. H-Hey! You can't do that!

Nine, eight..

"...seven, six, five, four..'

Gee, boss, this special meal

you ordered took up too much space!

We only have one parachute!

One's all | need!

Hey, wait for me!

Get off me, Rigger!

You're too heavy!

(Captain Planet) They say nature abhors a vacuum.

‘But | think it'll like this one.'

Now to do a little sucking up to the environment.

[cheering]

- Yay! - Captain Planet!

Phew. I'm glad that's over.

Da. Now, we can relax.

[gasps]

[helicopter whirring]

Those eco-meddlers think they've won.

But I've still got a shot to get this delta gone.

And I've another shot at this stone.

What you doing, Oakey?

Just trying to get this shiny rock.

Ouch!

[machine gun firing]

Unh-unh-unh.

No strafing the spray planes.

Bank shot! Behind the back!

Oh, between the legs!

Looks like Plunders putting the wet back in the wetlands.

[whirring continues]

[groans]

[laughs]

That should wrap up our problems and save our..

...dam!

[screaming]

[water splashing]

[explosion]

Bozhe moi! Too much water!

I'll end this flood in a flash.

The rain again falls plainly on the, uh, delta.

[cheering] That's amazing!

[grunting]

Come on out, pretty rock.

Will you stop playing with that stupid rock?

You better stop, Oakey.

I'll get rid of it, Mr. Plunder.

[gasps] Wait!

That's the world's biggest..

...diamond.

[sobs]

You dimwit, now find it.

I-I'll try, Mr. Plunder.

(Rick) | don't think you have time.

But-but-but my diamond.

[splashing]

Smile. You're on Captain's camera.

Help! Help!

Have a heart!

[crocodile grunting]

Man, when they see this film

the Global bank will have to think twice

‘about the projects they fund. '

Do you think change can happen soon enough

to save the delta?

Only if people care and find a way

to use Africa's resources to benefit everyone.

(Rick) ‘If not, you're looking at the end of Eden.'

(Planeteers) Go Planet!

(Linka) Water's one of Earth's most precious resources.

Plants, animals, and people need water to survive.

Many towns and cities get their water from rivers

lakes or underground springs in the wilderness.

So it is important to conserve water at home

by doing things like taking shorter showers.

Or turning off the water

‘when we brush our teeth or do the dishes. '

That way there will be more water

‘to share with our animal friends. '

(all) The power is yours.

Earth!

Fire!

Wind!

- Water! - Heart!

(all) Go, Planet!
