Captain Planet and the Planeteers (1990–1996): Season 1, Episode 14 - Meltdown Syndrome - full transcript
Duke Nukem enters a nuclear power plant with a radiation-leak while the manager is seeing reporters instead of repairing it. He breaks into the machinery and prepares to trigger a meltdown to give himself strength. The Planeteers arrive to stop him, but Dr. Borzon mistakes them for more reporters and locks them in a cramped room full of radiation where their rings don't work. They need Captain Planet to prevent Nukem's creating a worldwide fallout, but first must save themselves and regain their powers.
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!
Woman: We are outside
the world's newest
nuclear power plant.
In a moment,
we'll be interviewing
the chief engineer --
Dr. Borzon.
Computer: Danger.
Radiation in
cooling system...
Another radiation --
Why couldn't they
build this as perfectly
as I designed it?
Danger, danger.
Radiation
in cooling system.
Just when I have
to give a tour to
that snoopy TV reporter.
I'll turn off the alarms
and fix it later.
Alarm system
stopped,
but danger
not fixed...
Stop nagging.
I'll fix it
as soon as I can.
Aha! There's another
nuclear power plant
starting up,
and it's already leaking.
Leadsuit: Hey, Mr. Nukem,
come here.
They're talking about it
on television.
You say
this totally
automated plant
is the safest
in the world?
That's the way
I designed it.
We even have
state-of-the-art
security systems.
Nothing can go wrong.
Ha! It already has.
Duke Nukem's
instruments
never lie.
What about rumors
that the plant has developed
several radiation leaks?
Nonsense.
If there were any leaks,
all those red lights
would be flashing.
You're a liar.
Your plant
leaks like a sieve.
And I'll make a feast
of your leaky radiation.
Leadsuit:
It's a big one,
Mr. Nukem.
You'll get your fill
of radioactivity
if we get in.
Don't be a leadhead.
I'll just zap
the security system.
Dr. Borzon said
nothing can go wrong.
Well, watch this.
[ Alarm blaring ]
Computer: Danger.
Security system
malfunctioning.
Just what I needed --
another breakdown.
Warning.
Radiation leak
in cooling system.
You still
haven't fixed it.
I'll get to it.
I'm only human.
Ahh. We're getting
close to the leak.
Don't dawdle,
Leadhead.
Leadsuit, sir.
Whatever. Dig those
radioactive neutrons.
They really
give me a charge.
Leadsuit:
Radiation's rising, boss.
Time to catch
some rays --
gamma rays,
that is. Ha ha!
[ Cackles ]
Gaia: Planeteers,
to the crystal chamber.
Gi: What
is happening, Gaia?
There's a disaster
in the making
at the nuclear power plant,
Planeteers.
There's
enough radiation leaking
to fry an egg in its shell.
Gi: We saw that plant
on the news.
It's supposed
to be 100% safe.
Nothing is absolutely safe,
especially
when nuclear power
and human error are involved.
If a nuclear disaster
happened,
this could be our future --
a mutated,
radioactive Earth...
...where people survive only
by wearing radiation suits.
We've got
to stop that leak.
And we better
do it fast
before Duke Nukem
finds out.
It would be awful if
people really had to wear
these suits all the time.
Radiation poisoning
would be worse.
Radiation can cause
terrible sickness,
like cancer.
Linka: And the trouble
with radioactivity is
you cannot see it or feel it
until it is too late.
At least
we will know
where it is
with this
Geiger counter.
Wheeler: Uh-oh.
The Nukemobile.
Borzon: That will stop
the radiation leak.
Now I'll put the system
online and make sure
everything is working.
Wheeler: Looks like
Duke Nukem beat us to it.
Kwame:
And he left a trail
of radiation.
He must
have broken
in there.
Stand guard,
Mr. Nukem says.
Hmm, that's crazy.
This place is deserted.
It is Leadsuit.
Duke Nukem must be close.
Let's find out.
Planeteers.
Where's the Duke,
Leadbrain?
[ Gulps ]
Uh, he's in there.
It figures.
He's going for
the fastest nuclear fix
he can find.
You stay in here while we
take care of Duke Nukem.
But I --
I'm scared of the dark.
If you were smart,
you'd be more scared
of your boss.
Come on,
Planeteers.
Let us
get the drop
on that
radioactive
renegade.
Duke: Ahh.
Ahh. Ahh.
Well, if it isn't
the Planeteers.
Why don't you grab a rod
and go fishin'?
Nuclear "fission." Get it?
[ Chuckles ]
Spare us
the bad jokes.
The game is over,
Nukem.
On the contrary.
It's just beginning.
What's the matter,
Planeteers?
The Duke's gamma rays
too much for you?
[ Clicking rapidly ]
The rod is too hot.
Our suits cannot handle it
much longer.
Back outside,
Planeteers.
This'll speed you
on your way.
Wind.
Whoa!
Ha! Nice try, blowhard.
Ready or not, here I come.
He'll save me.
He'll save me not.
Oops.
Help! Fire!
Water!
Didn't your mother
ever tell you not
to play with matches?
[ Breathing heavily ]
Chort vozmi!
It is hard to run with
this heavy suit on.
You should try it...
carrying a Geiger counter.
[ Breathing heavily ]
Ma-Ti: Duke Nukem
is coming.
It is time for teamwork.
Let our powers combine.
Earth!
Fire!
Wind.
Water.
Heart.
By your powers combined,
I am Captain Planet.
All: Go, Planet!
Uh-oh. I see old
Glow-in-the-Dark Nukem
is up to his hazardous
high jinks.
Watch out behind you,
Captain Planet.
Hyah!
Let's see you dodge
my gamma rays, Planet.
Look out,
Captain Planet.
Whoa!
Captain Planet: Ah,
just what I needed --
a Duke-catcher.
Time to corral
this cancer-causing creep.
Aah!
Don't fence me in.
Just putting you
where you belong,
Nukem...
behind bars.
Get away.
Stand back, Planeteers.
This cooling rod
is full of radiation.
We have to put it back
in the storage vault
where it can't harm anyone.
Any volunteers?
Count me out.
8, 9, 10.
You're out!
Now, pick up
that rod
and get going.
[ Sighs ]
Captain Planet,
look at the reactor.
Gi: Radioactive steam --
it's heading toward
the city.
Planet: Don't worry.
I'll handle it.
You guys make sure
Leadhead puts that
cooling rod back.
Lead on,
Leadsuit.
This lead and cement mixture
will patch the leak.
Now to catch
that carcinogenic cloud.
Time to bust
a little radioactive dust.
Play one of the best new FPS shooters,
search Steam for PROJECT WARLOCK
Now to send
this little time bomb
to the heart of the sun,
where it can burn up safely.
Planet -- out of the stretch.
Here's the pitch.
Fastball -- low and inside.
Strike one.
I'm heading
back to the bench.
The power is yours.
Looks like a wild pitch
to me, Captain Planet.
This game is far from over.
Borzon: There.
I finally fixed
the broken
security system.
Computer: Danger.
Intruders in Sector 17.
Those must be
more reporters
spying on me.
Danger.
Intruders have entered
cooling-rod storage vault.
I don't want
any bad press.
It might hurt
my career.
I'll keep the reporters
under wraps until I get
all the leaks fixed.
Oh, no.
Let us out!
Stand back.
I'm going to burn
our way out of here.
Fire!
It's no use.
Our rings won't
work in here.
The radiation
leak must be
getting worse.
We are trapped.
Aha! There's
the nuclear reactor.
Time to heat things up.
Computer: Danger.
Reactor overload.
Meltdown. Meltdown.
No!
[ Planeteers talking at once ]
Planeteers,
we must get out of here.
But our rings
will not work.
The reactor's
out of control.
I got to get out of here
before it blows.
Oh, no. I forgot
about those reporters.
I've got to let them out.
Nothing's happening.
Drat it! I'll have
to let them out myself.
I can't let them die there.
They don't have to die.
They could become like me.
You're going to blow us up.
Precisely. I'm
going to melt this
nuclear power plant
right
into the ground.
Who -- Who are you?
Wh-What are you?
Duke Nukem --
Radiation King,
at your service.
As for what I am...
...the ignorant
call me a mutant.
I prefer to think of myself
as the future of mankind,
and I could use
a guy like you on my team.
You can be
a leader of
the nuclear age.
Unlimited power,
all the neutrons
you can eat.
Are you with me
or against me?
Scientists
don't take sides.
Scientists
aren't supposed
to lie, either,
but you do.
You're
my kind of guy, Doc.
Maybe I was,
but I'm not now,
not after meeting you.
Perhaps I can change
your mind.
Come with me.
* My name
is Duke Nukem *
* I'm
a nuclear shark *
* I'm hotter
than Elvis *
* And I glow
in the dark *
Nothing like a hot
radioactive shower
to make you
feel like
a million volts,
eh, Doc?
Sure you won't
join me?
No, thanks.
Take your time.
Wheeler: Hey, Leadsuit,
why don't you
clean up your act
and come work with us?
No way. When Duke Nukem
takes over the world,
I'm going
to be second in command.
And you and your Captain Planet
can't stop us.
Borzon: Come on.
There's a mutant maniac loose.
The plant is going to blow.
We're out of here.
Oh, my. They're
getting away.
I've got to warn Mr. Nukem.
Well, Doc,
you're awfully quiet
over there.
Duke, Duke, the doc
let the Planeteers go.
And I thought
he and I were pals.
We've got to stop
those Planeteers
before they call up
Captain Goody-Goody.
No running in the halls.
Ha ha ha!
Back off, Nukem.
I'm warning you.
Oh, boy. Dueling death rays.
Choke on this,
planetoid brat.
Fire!
Get out of here.
I'll hold him off.
Let me give you a hand.
Water!
You're getting
my Hawaiian shirt
all wet.
Leadsuit: Duke,
they're getting away.
[ Alarm blaring ]
Can we do anything
to stop this nuclear plant
from blowing up?
It's -- It's too late.
Hurry.
Everybody out.
Hold this, Ma-Ti.
I am going to slow
Duke Nukem down.
There. That will hold him
for a moment,
long enough for us
to call Captain Planet.
Whoa!
Aah!
Whoa!
Whoa!
Let our powers combine.
Earth.
Fire!
Wind!
Water!
Heart!
By your powers combined,
I am Captain Planet.
All: Go, Planet!
Has our radioactive
Duke been
acting up again?
Worse than ever.
He is causing a meltdown.
Uh-oh. Disaster time.
You said it, Planet.
Taste the rejuvenated
nuclear powers
of the Grand Duke!
Can't we settle this
peacefully, Nukem?
Sure, Captain Planet.
I'll blast you to pieces.
Oh, this is
getting old.
How dare you
trash my Nukemobile?
I just had it painted.
Take this, Planet.
I knew I shouldn't
have made that fender
out of lead.
Take a dive, Duke.
Bye-bye.
Aah! Oh! Aah!
I need some way
to keep these two
out of action.
We have lead foil
in the storage room
behind that wall.
I like your
prescription,
Doctor.
You'll pay for this, Planet.
Aw, don't be mad,
Dukie.
I've always thought
of you as royalty.
That's why I'm
giving you the lead
carpet treatment.
[ Duke growling ]
That
should keep you
under wraps.
Now I've got
a meltdown to stop.
Wow. This is worse
than I thought.
I'm going to have
to cool off this time bomb
by changing into
liquid nitrogen.
If my big chill
doesn't work,
this'll be worse than Chernobyl
and Three Mile Island
put together.
That did it.
But now I have
to get rid of these fast.
It's too late,
Captain Planet.
You can't stop the meltdown.
Wrong again, Nuclear Noggin.
That's strike 2.
And here's strike 3.
There's the heater,
right down the center.
You're out, Nukem.
The game's over,
and you lose.
But what
will we do for power?
There is a safer way
to get it.
Geothermal power --
power from the heat
of the Earth's core.
No radiation.
Gi is right.
And you won't
have to worry
about
nuclear terrorists
like Duke Nukem.
You win the battle, Planet,
but you haven't won the war.
The world's still full
of nuclear power plants
and nuclear warheads.
There will be
other accidents.
I will have my day.
Then everyone
will be like me.
[ Laughing sinisterly ]
Not while I'm here
to stop you,
Nukem,
and not while there
are kids like these
in the world
to help me.
If I drill
a hole down
to the lava layer --
I can build
a geothermal plant.
It's a deal, Captain Planet.
Pardon me while
I go for a spin.
[ All cheering ]
The power is yours.
Yay, Captain Planet!
Yay!
Yay!
Can I take off
my radiation suit now?
With Captain
Planet's help,
you may never have
to wear one again.
You must
be very happy,
Dr. Borzon.
Your geothermal
plant is
a great success.
Thank you.
I'd like to dedicate
this plant to those
who really
made it possible,
to Captain Planet
and the Planeteers.
May they continue
to show us
how to keep
the world safe for everyone.
[ All cheering ]
Planeteers: Go, Planet!
Captain Planet: We all
take energy for granted,
but power has its price.
Gaia: Think about it.
When you turn on
your lights or stereo,
you're using up energy.
But you are also
using up Earth's resources
and contributing
to pollution.
We need energy, but we
also need to use it wisely.
Don't waste it.
Turn off the lights
and TV when you
are not in the room.
The little things
you do at home
can make a big difference
for our planet.
The power to save 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!

over there.
Duke, Duke, the doc
let the Planeteers go.
And I thought
he and I were pals.
We've got to stop
those Planeteers
before they call up
Captain Goody-Goody.
No running in the halls.
Ha ha ha!
Back off, Nukem.
I'm warning you.
Oh, boy. Dueling death rays.
Choke on this,
planetoid brat.
Fire!
Get out of here.
I'll hold him off.
Let me give you a hand.
Water!
You're getting
my Hawaiian shirt
all wet.
Leadsuit: Duke,
they're getting away.
[ Alarm blaring ]
Can we do anything
to stop this nuclear plant
from blowing up?
It's -- It's too late.
Hurry.
Everybody out.
Hold this, Ma-Ti.
I am going to slow
Duke Nukem down.
There. That will hold him
for a moment,
long enough for us
to call Captain Planet.
Whoa!
Aah!
Whoa!
Whoa!
Let our powers combine.
Earth.
Fire!
Wind!
Water!
Heart!
By your powers combined,
I am Captain Planet.
All: Go, Planet!
Has our radioactive
Duke been
acting up again?
Worse than ever.
He is causing a meltdown.
Uh-oh. Disaster time.
You said it, Planet.
Taste the rejuvenated
nuclear powers
of the Grand Duke!
Can't we settle this
peacefully, Nukem?
Sure, Captain Planet.
I'll blast you to pieces.
Oh, this is
getting old.
How dare you
trash my Nukemobile?
I just had it painted.
Take this, Planet.
I knew I shouldn't
have made that fender
out of lead.
Take a dive, Duke.
Bye-bye.
Aah! Oh! Aah!
I need some way
to keep these two
out of action.
We have lead foil
in the storage room
behind that wall.
I like your
prescription,
Doctor.
You'll pay for this, Planet.
Aw, don't be mad,
Dukie.
I've always thought
of you as royalty.
That's why I'm
giving you the lead
carpet treatment.
[ Duke growling ]
That
should keep you
under wraps.
Now I've got
a meltdown to stop.
Wow. This is worse
than I thought.
I'm going to have
to cool off this time bomb
by changing into
liquid nitrogen.
If my big chill
doesn't work,
this'll be worse than Chernobyl
and Three Mile Island
put together.
That did it.
But now I have
to get rid of these fast.
It's too late,
Captain Planet.
You can't stop the meltdown.
Wrong again, Nuclear Noggin.
That's strike 2.
And here's strike 3.
There's the heater,
right down the center.
You're out, Nukem.
The game's over,
and you lose.
But what
will we do for power?
There is a safer way
to get it.
Geothermal power --
power from the heat
of the Earth's core.
No radiation.
Gi is right.
And you won't
have to worry
about
nuclear terrorists
like Duke Nukem.
You win the battle, Planet,
but you haven't won the war.
The world's still full
of nuclear power plants
and nuclear warheads.
There will be
other accidents.
I will have my day.
Then everyone
will be like me.
[ Laughing sinisterly ]
Not while I'm here
to stop you,
Nukem,
and not while there
are kids like these
in the world
to help me.
If I drill
a hole down
to the lava layer --
I can build
a geothermal plant.
It's a deal, Captain Planet.
Pardon me while
I go for a spin.
[ All cheering ]
The power is yours.
Yay, Captain Planet!
Yay!
Yay!
Can I take off
my radiation suit now?
With Captain
Planet's help,
you may never have
to wear one again.
You must
be very happy,
Dr. Borzon.
Your geothermal
plant is
a great success.
Thank you.
I'd like to dedicate
this plant to those
who really
made it possible,
to Captain Planet
and the Planeteers.
May they continue
to show us
how to keep
the world safe for everyone.
[ All cheering ]
Planeteers: Go, Planet!
Captain Planet: We all
take energy for granted,
but power has its price.
Gaia: Think about it.
When you turn on
your lights or stereo,
you're using up energy.
But you are also
using up Earth's resources
and contributing
to pollution.
We need energy, but we
also need to use it wisely.
Don't waste it.
Turn off the lights
and TV when you
are not in the room.
The little things
you do at home
can make a big difference
for our planet.
The power to save 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!
