Captain Planet and the Planeteers (1990–1996): Season 1, Episode 12 - A World Below Us - full transcript
Gi and Ma-Ti investigate polluted areas of water, suspecting Sly Sludge is pouring garbage and sewage there, and Ma-Ti is pained from hearing many cries for help underwater. Gi goes down to examine pollution levels, and is attacked by Sludge's robotic octopus, losing her oxygen-tank and consciousness. She's rescued by Pontus, a resident of the secret underwater city Oceanus, and discovers that the protective dome around it is leaking from the contaminants. The civilization's Council forbids her leaving to bring the other Planeteers back to help, and the others, captured by Sludge, don't know where or if they'll find her. But with the pollution threatening animal and human life, they will need to unite to summon Captain Planet soon...
Our world is in peril.
Gaia, the spirit of the 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.
[ Sirens wailing ]
From North America -- Wheeler,
with the power of fire.
**
From the Soviet Union -- 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!
All: Go, Planet!
Captain Planet:
The power is yours!
Gi: And now
back to "Captain Planet."
Gi: Planeteer alert!
I'm picking up high pollution
levels on the ocean's surface.
Take us down
for a closer look, Ma-Ti.
Look at these
pollution readings!
I just bet that polluter
Sly Sludge
is dumping waste
into the ocean again --
but from where?
Man: Okay, you
good-for-nothing
slimeballs!
Shovel that garbage
into the fog-making
machine.
We've got to make sure
no one can find us.
Uh!
Looks like I fooled
those stupid Planeteers
with my phony fog cover.
They'll never find
my secret disposal plant now.
Ha ha ha!
At last, I can pollute in peace.
I will radio
we are heading home.
Aah!
Are you all right,
Ma-Ti?
Aah!
What is it?
Heart! I hear
cries for help...
from somewhere
deep in the ocean.
Gi: If sea creatures
are in danger,
I must go to their rescue.
Be careful, Gi.
Who knows
what is down there?
Don't worry. When it
comes to the ocean,
I am totally at home.
This is terrible!
The plants and fish are dying
from all this garbage
and toxic waste.
Ahh! I think I've found
the source.
No life could survive
these levels of pollution.
What kind of twisted mind would
think up something like this?
What do we have here?
Looks like one of those
goody two-shoes
Planeteers
is spying on your
secret dump site,
Mr. Sludge.
Very good, Ooze.
3 guesses what I'm
going to do about it.
Um...oh! Oh!
Heh heh heh!
Send out your
mechanical Octo-Masher
to scare her off,
and, um, um, ah --
Good guess.
While you're draining
the rest of your brain,
that's exactly
what I'll do.
I don't take kindly
to trespassers.
[ Clicking ]
Wait! The reading
is getting even stronger.
There must be
heavy metals down here.
Oh!
Aah! Aah!
Ma-Ti!
What is it? Gi!
Gi!
Uh! No!
Let me go!
Planeteer alert!
Mayday! Mayday!
Ha ha ha ha!
Good work,
Octo-Masher.
That'll scare her.
Enough pleasure, Ooze.
We have work to do.
Ohh, I'm gonna miss
the good stuff.
Aah!
Help!
Ahh!
Sea creatures...
in danger!
I must help!
Oh, you're all right!
I was worried.
You -- You're not
a sea creature.
Ha ha! Well,
in a way I am,
since I live
under the sea.
I don't understand.
Where am I?
How did I get here?
After I rescued you
from that 8-legged
metal monster,
a manta ray and I
brought you here.
You are in
the underwater city
of Oceanus.
Underwater city?
That is...
impossible!
Difficult,
but not impossible.
Our city is protected
by a dome of thick glass
made from sea sand.
Special generators
remove oxygen
from the seawater
and pump it
into our dome.
We harvest all kinds of
kelp and seaweed.
Everything we need
to have a good life
is here.
My name is Pontis.
I'm a marine biologist,
and this is my lab.
I'm Gi, and I'm
a marine biologist, too.
Seas, lakes, and rivers
are my life.
I used to dream about
a place like this.
It is...paradise.
Yes...but soon
it may be
nothing more
than a dream.
This is the north end
of the city.
Only a few months ago, it was
the home of wondrous creatures.
Now look at it. Your people
are destroying it
with their poisons.
[ Rumbling ]
[ People screaming ]
Those screams!
They must be the cries
Ma-Ti heard.
What is wrong?
The same poisons
that kill the sea life
are eating through the dome
around Oceanus.
If something isn't done soon,
it will burst,
and our city will be crushed
under tons of water.
Sly Sludge must
be behind this.
Take me to the surface.
My friends and I
will stop him!
No! You must not
tell anyone about
Oceanus.
But why?
Our city has been a secret
for thousands of years.
We have sworn an oath
never to contact outsiders.
I have already
disobeyed our laws
by bringing you here.
My friends
are the Planeteers.
We have dedicated
our lives to protecting
the planet.
Together, we will
make things right.
Pontis: No!
You must not.
I am sorry, Gi, but we must go
and talk to the elders.
Ma-Ti: This must be
the source of pollution
Gi was telling me about.
But where is Gi?
There is no sign
of her.
Yes, there is.
Without her tank,
she would only
have minutes.
It is not true!
I have this feeling
she is still alive.
Heart!
Are you picking up
anything?
Pollution everywhere.
I cannot get through.
I wish...
We all love Gi,
Ma-Ti,
but if something
happened,
we cannot
wish her back.
I bet Sludge did this,
and he's gonna
pay the price.
Well, well.
Those planet punks
are all here.
Get my
pollution-powered
submarine.
It's time for
some underwater
underhandedness.
Gi: But you
must let me go
to my friends
and stop the creep
who is polluting
your waters!
Let me call them.
We know all about
your pollution, my dear --
how the land-dwellers
foul the air, destroy the land,
and poison the water.
We watch you constantly.
Yes, but some of us
are trying to make
things better.
Not enough of you,
I'm afraid.
That is how it is
with land people.
10,000 years ago, our ancestors
developed an advanced society
in our undersea world.
The land-dwellers will perish
by their own doing.
We will remain
because we do not pollute.
But your dome
is failing.
You will perish, too,
without our help.
Our scientists will
make the dome resistant
to your destruction.
We will find a way
to purify our waters
of the land-people's poisons.
But --
The Council of Elders
has made its decision.
You must never
contact your friends.
To ensure our secret
spreads no further,
you will remain
in Oceanus forever.
[ Rumbling ]
Linka: And now
back to "Captain Planet."
Linka: This sure looks like
Sludge's plumbing,
and it leads up
toward the shore.
Maybe we can
follow the pipes
and surprise him.
I think the surprise
is on us.
Launch the trick torpedo.
Swim for it, guys!
And now, to detonate
the torpedo.
[ Shouting ]
Now I know
how fish feel.
I'm sure you'll find
your new home very cozy.
[ Rat squeaking ]
Yeah! The rats
seem to like it.
Ha ha ha!
Okay, Sludge. Tell us
what you did with Gi!
Oh, I'm afraid your friend
had a close encounter
with my Octo-Masher.
And we haven't
seen her since.
I'll get you
for this, Sludge!
Fire!
Ha ha ha!
I don't think so.
With your wrists chained,
your fire power
can't touch me.
And even if you
could get loose,
there's a 1,000-foot drop
to that acid moat down there.
But enough small talk.
I've got a customer
who's looking for a place
to ditch thousands of gallons
of toxic wastes.
I'm hooking him up
to my secret polluting
pipeline. Ciao.
That dumb customer
thinks everything
we do here is legal.
We're geniuses!
Ow!
We cannot let Sludge
get away with this.
We must call
Captain Planet.
We cannot --
not without Gi.
There's got to be some way
to stop Sludge.
If we could only
get loose!
Uh! Maybe you can
bounce your fire power
off the ceiling
and melt your chains.
Maybe.
I hope I can
pull this off.
Fire!
Boy. Am I hot, or what?
Yow!
Linka: Ouch! Take
it easy, Wheeler.
Our leashes are off,
but we're still in the doghouse.
Let me shake things up
a little. Earth!
Hey! Ouch!
Time-out, Kwame!
Nice job! We got
a door, but...
It sure is a long way down.
Great. Now what
do we do -- fly?
If you spent more time
being wise than being a wiseguy,
maybe we would find
a solution.
What's that
supposed to mean?
That you are
full of hot air.
If you would stop arguing,
you would realize
you bo found the solution.
We can fly with hot air
and a balloon made of blankets.
Ooze: The tanker truck
is all hooked up, Mr. Sludge.
The toxic wastes are flowing
into your pipeline. Ha ha ha!
Sludge: What a scam.
And the customer pays
for leg dumping.
Wheeler: Fire!
Linka: Wind!
Okay, now!
Kwame: We are floating --
barely.
More fire! More wind!
This is not a nice place
for a swim.
See what happens
when we work together?
I hear you, Linka.
Now, what's our next move?
We are going
for a little ride.
What's so bad about
staying in this
paradise, Gi?
I-I'm not
bad company.
It's not you, Pontis.
I have my duties
as a Planeteer.
Besides, this paradise
may not last.
Don't worry. My people
have always solved their
problems by themselves.
You'll see.
[ Rumbling ]
Pontis: The dome --
it's cracking!
I must try to stop
the leak!
Gi, wait!
[ People screaming ]
I-I hear the cries again!
Heart!
The vibrations
grow stronger.
Thousands of people
in grave danger.
We must find them!
Which way, Ma-Ti?
Down! They are
below us.
No way, Ma-Ti. They've
been underwater too long.
Maybe Gi
is down there.
Well then,
what are we waiting for?
Dive!
Wheeler: There's nothing
below us but solid rock.
Wait! I-I see a passageway.
[ Radar pinging ]
Some kind of hidden tunnel
in the ocean floor.
Wow! I can't believe
what I'm seeing.
I see it, too --
an underwater city.
Ma-Ti: This must be
where the cries for help
are coming from.
Wheeler: That looks
like an entrance.
Let's check it out.
Kwame, full speed ahead.
I've got to try to
keep the dome from bursting.
Water!
[ People screaming ]
Aah! Aah!
Aah!
Gi!
Fire!
Aah!
Give that girl
a 10!
You're okay!
It's good to see you.
Am I glad to see you!
This is Pontis.
He saved my life.
Now we must save
the city.
We need Captain Planet.
Let our powers combine.
Earth!
Fire!
Wind!
Water!
Heart!
By your powers combined,
I am Captain Planet!
All: Go, Planet!
Yay! Outstanding!
Yay! All right!
Time for a quick patch job.
First, a little sand.
This oughta stir things up.
And now, let's turn up the heat.
Making glass from molten sand
gives it the Captain Planet
seal of approval.
All: Go, Planet!
We've got to
stop Sly Sludge,
Captain Planet.
His pollution
pipeline nearly
destroyed the city.
Hasn't he learned
his lesson yet?
First, for a little re-plumbing.
I'm mad...
...and I'm "knot"
going to take it anymore.
Brr!
Now I need to
find somewhere safe
to put those poisons --
and I think I see
a pollution solution.
Whoa there, boy!
Well, I don't mean
to be flip.
This is a cleanup job
that could take years,
but I'm going to give it
a good head start.
Come on. There you go.
Fill her up.
You take this waste
back to your boss
and tell him
to dispose of it safely.
What's this? Something's wrong
with my pollution meter.
What the...
Yaah!
I-I think we have a clog
in the pipes, sir.
Yaah!
The toxic wastes
are backing up!
She's
gonna blow!
Eh, shall I get
the plunger?
No, you idiot. Run!
Yaah!
I got to go
on a diet.
We're never gonna
make it!
Was it twice right
or once left past zero?
You bumbling
fool!
Yow!
There. Thanks, boss.
Now I got it.
Faster, before we're wasted
by our own toxic waste!
Aah!
Row for it!
Oh, I hope your insurance
is paid up, sir.
Oh, my illegal
disposal plant!
It got trashed!
Whoa!
I hate to rehash
the trash, sly,
but if you're going to make
a mess, you're going to
have to clean it up.
Now move!
Yaah!
Councilwoman: We bestow
upon you, Planeteers,
these medals of bravery
for saving our city
and teaching us that we cannot
hide ourselves from the rest
of the planet.
We are all tied together
in the Earth's ecosystem.
Each of us is one link
in the chain of survival.
We are proud
to have helped you.
And I am proud to be made
a Planeteer.
I promise to patrol the oceans
and keep them safe
from polluters --
with the help of my new
mechanical friend, of course.
Ha ha ha!
Okay, Planeteers.
Time to head back
to Hope Island.
Are you sure
you won't stay here
in the place of your dreams?
I can't, Pontis --
at least, not until
the rest of our planet
is as beautiful
and clean as Oceanus.
But I'm going scuba-diving
on Saturday --
around noon, if you happen to be
swimming my way.
Wheeler: We'll be right back
with more Planeteer action!
All:
We're back! Go, Planet!
Go, Planet!
Kwame: Don't they see all that
trash they are leaving behind?
Why don't they
pick it up?
Because they think
someone else will do it.
Now they know that trash
does not go away
by itself.
We all have to
do our part.
Do not be part of
the pollution.
Be part of
the solution.
When it's trash time,
can it.
The power is yours!
Earth!
Fire!
Wind!
Water!
Heart!
All: Go, Planet!
By your powers combined,
I am Captain Planet!
* Captain Planet
* He's our hero
* Gonna take pollution
down to zero *
* He's our powers magnified
* And he's fighting
on the planet's side *
* Captain Planet
* He's our hero
* Gonna take pollution
down to zero *
* Gonna help him put asunder
* Bad guys who like
to loot and plunder *
You'll pay for this,
Captain Planet!
* We're the Planeteers,
you can be one, too *
* 'Cause saving our planet
is the thing to do *
* Looting and polluting
is not the way *
* Hear what Captain Planet
has to say *
The power is yours!

Captain Planet:

Gi: And now
back to "Captain Planet."
Gi: Planeteer alert!
I'm picking up high pollution
levels on the ocean's surface.
Take us down
for a closer look, Ma-Ti.
Look at these
pollution readings!
I just bet that polluter
Sly Sludge
is dumping waste
into the ocean again --
but from where?
Man: Okay, you
good-for-nothing

Shovel that garbage

Looks like I fooled

Ha ha ha!
At last, I can pollute in peace.
I will radio
we are heading home.
Aah!
Are you all right,
Ma-Ti?
Aah!
What is it?
Heart! I hear
cries for help...
from somewhere
deep in the ocean.
Gi: If sea creatures
are in danger,
I must go to their rescue.
Be careful, Gi.
Who knows
what is down there?
Don't worry. When it
comes to the ocean,
I am totally at home.
This is terrible!
The plants and fish are dying
from all this garbage
and toxic waste.
Ahh! I think I've found
the source.
No life could survive
these levels of pollution.
What kind of twisted mind would
think up something like this?
What do we have here?
Looks like one of those
goody two-shoes
Planeteers
is spying on your
secret dump site,
Mr. Sludge.
Very good, Ooze.
3 guesses what I'm
going to do about it.
Um...oh! Oh!
Heh heh heh!
Send out your
mechanical Octo-Masher
to scare her off,
and, um, um, ah --
Good guess.
While you're draining
the rest of your brain,
that's exactly
what I'll do.
I don't take kindly
to trespassers.
[ Clicking ]
Wait! The reading
is getting even stronger.
There must be
heavy metals down here.
Oh!
Aah! Aah!
Ma-Ti!
What is it? Gi!
Gi!
Uh! No!
Let me go!
Planeteer alert!
Mayday! Mayday!
Ha ha ha ha!
Good work,
Octo-Masher.
That'll scare her.
Enough pleasure, Ooze.
We have work to do.
Ohh, I'm gonna miss
the good stuff.
Aah!
Help!
Ahh!
Sea creatures...
in danger!
I must help!
Oh, you're all right!
I was worried.
You -- You're not
a sea creature.
Ha ha! Well,
in a way I am,
since I live
under the sea.
I don't understand.
Where am I?
How did I get here?
After I rescued you

Our city is protected

Everything we need

Seas, lakes, and rivers
are my life.
I used to dream about
a place like this.

Yes...but soon
it may be
nothing more

how the land-dwellers
foul the air, destroy the land,
and poison the water.
We watch you constantly.
Yes, but some of us
are trying to make
things better.
Not enough of you,
I'm afraid.
That is how it is
with land people.
10,000 years ago, our ancestors
developed an advanced society

it easy, Wheeler.

Hey! Ouch!
Time-out, Kwame!
Nice job! We got

Great. Now what

That you are
full of hot air.
If you would stop arguing,

We can fly with hot air
and a balloon made of blankets.
Ooze: The tanker truck
is all hooked up, Mr. Sludge.
The toxic wastes are flowing
into your pipeline. Ha ha ha!
Sludge: What a scam.
And the customer pays
for leg dumping.
Wheeler: Fire!
Linka: Wind!
Okay, now!
Kwame: We are floating --
barely.
More fire! More wind!
This is not a nice place
for a swim.
See what happens
when we work together?
I hear you, Linka.
Now, what's our next move?
We are going
for a little ride.
What's so bad about
staying in this
paradise, Gi?
I-I'm not
bad company.
It's not you, Pontis.
I have my duties
as a Planeteer.
Besides, this paradise
may not last.
Don't worry. My people
have always solved their
problems by themselves.
You'll see.
[ Rumbling ]
Pontis: The dome --
it's cracking!
I must try to stop
the leak!
Gi, wait!
[ People screaming ]
I-I hear the cries again!
Heart!
The vibrations
grow stronger.
Thousands of people
in grave danger.
We must find them!
Which way, Ma-Ti?
Down! They are
below us.
No way, Ma-Ti. They've
been underwater too long.
Maybe Gi
is down there.
Well then,
what are we waiting for?
Dive!
Wheeler: There's nothing
below us but solid rock.
Wait! I-I see a passageway.
[ Radar pinging ]
Some kind of hidden tunnel
in the ocean floor.
Wow! I can't believe
what I'm seeing.
I see it, too --
an underwater city.
Ma-Ti: This must be
where the cries for help
are coming from.
Wheeler: That looks
like an entrance.
Let's check it out.
Kwame, full speed ahead.
I've got to try to
keep the dome from bursting.
Water!
[ People screaming ]
Aah! Aah!
Aah!
Gi!
Fire!
Aah!
Give that girl
a 10!
You're okay!
It's good to see you.
Am I glad to see you!
This is Pontis.
He saved my life.
Now we must save
the city.
We need Captain Planet.
Let our powers combine.
Earth!
Fire!
Wind!
Water!
Heart!
By your powers combined,
I am Captain Planet!
All: Go, Planet!
Yay! Outstanding!
Yay! All right!
Time for a quick patch job.
First, a little sand.
This oughta stir things up.
And now, let's turn up the heat.
Making glass from molten sand
gives it the Captain Planet
seal of approval.
All: Go, Planet!
We've got to
stop Sly Sludge,
Captain Planet.
His pollution
pipeline nearly
destroyed the city.
Hasn't he learned
his lesson yet?
First, for a little re-plumbing.
I'm mad...
...and I'm "knot"
going to take it anymore.
Brr!
Now I need to
find somewhere safe
to put those poisons --
and I think I see
a pollution solution.
Whoa there, boy!
Well, I don't mean
to be flip.
This is a cleanup job
that could take years,
but I'm going to give it
a good head start.
Come on. There you go.
Fill her up.
You take this waste
back to your boss
and tell him
to dispose of it safely.
What's this? Something's wrong
with my pollution meter.
What the...
Yaah!
I-I think we have a clog
in the pipes, sir.
Yaah!
The toxic wastes
are backing up!
She's
gonna blow!
Eh, shall I get
the plunger?
No, you idiot. Run!
Yaah!
I got to go
on a diet.
We're never gonna
make it!
Was it twice right
or once left past zero?
You bumbling
fool!
Yow!
There. Thanks, boss.
Now I got it.
Faster, before we're wasted
by our own toxic waste!
Aah!
Row for it!
Oh, I hope your insurance
is paid up, sir.
Oh, my illegal
disposal plant!
It got trashed!
Whoa!
I hate to rehash
the trash, sly,
but if you're going to make
a mess, you're going to
have to clean it up.
Now move!
Yaah!
Councilwoman: We bestow
upon you, Planeteers,
these medals of bravery
for saving our city
and teaching us that we cannot
hide ourselves from the rest
of the planet.
We are all tied together
in the Earth's ecosystem.
Each of us is one link
in the chain of survival.
We are proud
to have helped you.
And I am proud to be made
a Planeteer.
I promise to patrol the oceans
and keep them safe
from polluters --
with the help of my new
mechanical friend, of course.
Ha ha ha!
Okay, Planeteers.
Time to head back
to Hope Island.
Are you sure
you won't stay here
in the place of your dreams?
I can't, Pontis --
at least, not until
the rest of our planet
is as beautiful
and clean as Oceanus.
But I'm going scuba-diving
on Saturday --
around noon, if you happen to be
swimming my way.
Wheeler: We'll be right back
with more Planeteer action!
All:
We're back! Go, Planet!
Go, Planet!
Kwame: Don't they see all that
trash they are leaving behind?
Why don't they
pick it up?
Because they think
someone else will do it.
Now they know that trash
does not go away
by itself.
We all have to
do our part.
Do not be part of
the pollution.
Be part of
the solution.
When it's trash time,
can it.
The power is yours!
Earth!
Fire!
Wind!
Water!
Heart!
All: Go, Planet!
By your powers combined,
I am Captain Planet!
