Captain Planet and the Planeteers (1990–1996): Season 1, Episode 16 - Polluting by Computer - full transcript
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!
[ Bird crying ]
[ Squirrel chittering ]
[ Bear cubs growling ]

[ Bird squawks ]
What's going on here?
[ Horn blares ]
Stop! Stop!
Hey, you, get down
from there!
Something bothering you,
sonny?
Yeah. Your truck
is full of toxic waste,
and it's leaking.
So?
So get it out of here --
now!
This is a national park.
It wa a national park,
cowboy.
But look at this
official document
right from
your official computer.
Ranger to headquarters.
Can you confirm
the Sly Sludge permit?
It is?
He can?
That's right.
And have a nice day.
Let's roll 'em!
[ Engine starts ]
You can't do this!
Watch me.
Hey, pal!
Whoa! My hat.
**
Play one of the best new FPS shooters,
search Steam for PROJECT WARLOCK
Linka: Checkmate.
Ahh! Not again.
That's twice
you've beat me, Linka.
I thought you Soviets
weren't into computer games.
But we are
into logic and strategy.
Translate that
into Brooklyn American.
She means her moves
follow precise plans,
while yours are much more random
and unpredictable.
That's me --
a wild and crazy guy!
Planeteers,
to the crystal chamber.
There's an eco-emergency.
Kwame:
That's Yellowstone National Park
in America.
Oh, it is so lovely.
Well,
that's not so lovely.
Wheeler:
Hey, they can't dump toxic waste
in a national park.
Our old enemy Sly Sludge
is doing it right now.
How can we
stop him, Gaia?
I want Gi and Kwame to go
with Ma-Ti to Yellowstone
to help
with the cleanup there.
What about
Wheeler and me?
It's time those computer games
you've been playing get serious.
Our computer games?
I'm sending you to check the
environmental agency's computer.
We must know
how Sly Sludge
is getting permission
to do his evil polluting.
Just you and me, kid.
Ah-ah-ah.
Hands off, Wheeler.
Once again, you have moved
without thinking.
Oh, I thought about it.
Wheeler...
Sludge: Dr. Blight's hideout
is up this way.
**
[ Truck brakes squeak, hiss ]
[ Truck door opens, closes ]
Everything went just
as you planned, Dr. Blight.
Obviously, Sludge.
What else did you expect from
the world's most evil scientist?
[ Coughs ]
Sure is [coughs]
smoggy in here.
[ Coughs ]
Much nicer than
that fresh air outside.
Thank you.
It could even be more polluted,
don't you think?
It's my new
air putrefier.
[ Coughing ]
Hey!
That's great stuff.
Really hurts
the old lungs.
It's a special concentration
of cigarette smoke
and exhaust fumes
from city buses.
[ Coughs ]
You're my kind of genius.
See, I told you
old Sly Sludge
could get rid of
your toxic waste.
With a little help from my
brilliant associate MAL.
If I could find a human
this smart, I'd marry him.
That's some ugly --
Uh, I mean,
smart machine you got there.
[ Beeping ]
I'm not a machine.
I'm an artificial intelligence,
and you are a dimwit!
Nice computer.
Nice computer.
You wouldn't pick on a dimwit,
would you?
No! Wait! Don't!
Yeow! Ooh! Ooh!
Yeow!
My foot's burning up!
So sorry about that, Sludge.
Allow me.
Huh?
Watch what you say to MAL.
He's very sensitive.
MAL has penetrated
the environmental agency's
master computer.
Every national park
in the nation
will be officially changed
to a toxic waste dump.
And that's just
the beginning, right?
Exactly. And MAL
has predicted the end.
Look.
There will be 1,000 years
cleaning up this mess.
[ Laughs ]
Oh, Wheeler, there is no time
for sightseeing.
I know.
Whoa!
We hit the rush-hour
pigeon traffic.
Scram, will you?
Wind!
We are supposed to
protect the environment,
not endanger it.
Hey, I had the right of way...
didn't I?
Here's the environmental
agency headquarters.
We'll land over here
in the park.
Is it legal
to park here?
Hey, don't worry,
babe.
Why do you think
they call it a park?
**
Well, well, well.
What can I do for you?
We would like to see
the main computer.
Yeah. Both of us.
[ Munching ]
That's strictly off-limits
to the public.
But we are not public.
We are Planet--
Shh. Chill, babe.
I'll handle this.
Your, uh, computer
is malfunctioning.
Listen, I'm in charge
of the computer,
and I know
it's working fine.
But it is letting
an evil Man
dump toxic waste
in Yellowstone Park.
[ Chuckles ]
Nonsense.
Please, you must
believe us.
Look, if you've got a problem,
come back Monday
and see my supervisor.
Nyet!
Monday will be too late.
This guy's not gonna
believe anything we say.
We have to get inside
and show him what's going on.
How can we do that?
Trust the old master.
Hey, bud!
Fire!
Aah!
Hey!
What's going on here?
This way.
Whew! Made it.
We ditched them.
Here's the computer
control center. Come on!
After you,
princess.
Wow! Look at this.
This computer's a lot fancier
than my vid-game machine.
[ Beeping ]
Hey, do you have any idea
what you're doing?
I am punching up
a status report.
You mean you really
know computers?
You're a hacker!
Of course.
That's why I keep beating you
at those foolish video games.
These green squares
are all the national parks.
And those red dots
are toxic waste dumps.
Oh, it's worse
than we feared.
All the national parks have been
changed into toxic waste dumps.
How'd Sly Sludge
pull this off?
We got to do something.
You'll do nothing.
Arrest them for sabotage!
Hey! Back off!
We can explain.
We are not trying to
hurt your computer,
only trying
to fix it.
That's right.
We're Planeteers.
The real villain
is Sly Sludge.
Somehow,
he has got your computer
to change all the national parks
into dump sites.
That's ridiculous.
Check it out.
Those darn Planeteers
are going to spoil everything.
Oh, relax.
My cutie pie MAL
has everything under control.
Don't you, sweetums?
The little darling
can do anything he wants
with their computer.
Man: First, let's see
about this Mr. Sly Sludge.
"Sly Sludge,
honorary chairman of the
ecological defense foundation."
No way!
"Awarded the president's medal
for his support
of ecological improvement."
I am not
believing this.
[ Beeping ]
Now, about you Planeteers.
Oh, interesting.
The agency has quite a file
on you--
notorious criminals
engaged in illegal pollution.
That's totally bogus,
man.
And as you can see,
all the national parks
are perfectly normal.
Arrest them!
Nyet! You cannot.
We've got to find Sly Sludge
and stop him.
The only place you polluters
are going is to prison!
[ Handcuffs click ]
Hey, you can't do this
to us!
We're U.S. taxpayers.
At least I am.
Save it for the judge.
I hate polluters.
[ Printer whirring ]
Sorry, gentlemen,
but we cannot let Sly Sludge
get away with this.
Wind!
Huh? Whoa! Whoa!
Whoa!
Aah!
Oh, no! Aah!
Ugh!
Now, that's what I call getting
wrapped up in your work.
Oh!
What are you doing?
We need the keys
to the handcuffs.
[ Handcuffs click ]
All right.
Let's go.
Oof!
You won't get away
this time.
Well, I-I...
Run!
Come back here!
Now what,
Wheeler?
Quick! Up here!
Linka,
get us to the top floor.
Wind!
Huh?
[ Straining ]
We're too heavy.
Must stop here.
[ Both grunt ]
[ Normal voice ]
Sorry.
Hey, any landing you can
walk away from is a good one.
[ Elevator bell dings ]
Hey!
They're headed for
the first floor.
First floor --
bureaucrats, red tape,
Geo-Cruisers.
Everybody out.
[ Elevator bell dings ]
Hey!
Time to book,
Linka!
We can't go
this way.
And we cannot
go back.
Follow my lead, babe.
Fire!
Wind!
[ Alarm rings ]
[ All shouting ]
Fire! Fire!
We need help
before Sludge
really trashes
the national parks.
[ Gasps ]
The environmental agency
is impounding
our Geo-Cruiser.
I guess we shouldn't have
parked there.
We? Y said
we could park it there.
Now what do we do?
Beats me, babe.
Maybe -- maybe if we
concentrate together,
Ma-Ti will hear
our thoughts.
To concentrating is good,
but this way.
**
I cannot believe someone
would deliberately do this.
Ma-Ti, help! Ma-Ti, help!
Kwame, Gi, quick.
Ma-Ti, what is it?
Wheeler and Linka
are in trouble.
[ Helicopter blades whir ]
[ Insects chirping ]
**
Lovely.
All that toxic waste
on its way to pollute
the national parks.
Yeah, doc.
It sure is sweet.
And the way
you got it fixed,
even them stupid Planeteers
can't stop us.
[ Laughs ]
There's the Geo-Cruiser.
The environmental agency
was certainly the right place
to start looking.
But where are
Linka and Wheeler?
They can't be
too far away.
Kwame and I will search
for them.
I will keep watch here.
It is hopeless. We do not even
know where to begin to look.
Ouch! Huh?
Hey, dudes.
Figured you'd show up
sooner or later.
Where is Ma-Ti?
He's waiting for us
at the Geo-Cruiser.
You misunderstand.
I am a Planeteer, a friend.
[ Dog growls ]
Oops! Now Ma-Ti
is in trouble.
Don't they understand
he's a Planeteer?
Yes,
which is the problem.
Their computer says
all Planeteers are polluters.
Kwame: The guard is going inside
to report.
Now is our opportunity.
Wheeler: What opportunity?
That watchdog looks mean.
Heart!
He's using his power.
[ Dog growls ]
[ Dog whimpers ]
Good work, Ma-Ti.
Our new friend here
knows a secret way inside
so you and Linka
can fix the computer.
The rest of us had better
get to Yellowstone
and stop Sly Sludge.
What if we need
Captain Planet?
We'll keep in touch
through Ma-Ti.
Come on!
[ Dog barks ]
Didn't expect
to find you here.
Who let you two in?
Oh, we have friends
in high places.
Not everyone believes
the Planeteers are criminals.
I'm not certain I do
anymore.
You were right.
The computer has turned
all the national parks
into toxic waste dumps.
Why do you not fix it?
I tried! But I can't!
An outside force
has control of the computer.
Our national parks
are about to be destroyed,
and no one
can stop it!
Rats! Those pesky Planeteers
never give up.
But then neither
does Sly Sludge.
Okay, drivers, step on it.
Get ahead of the lead truck.
I have an idea.
**
Water!
Don't stop! Who's afraid
of a little mud puddle?
[ Tires squealing ]
It didn't work.
The first truck
got through the mud.
Let me try.
Earth!
As they say in this country,
"Here's mud in your eye."
Man: Yeow!
[ Tires squeal ]
We did it!
We blocked the road.
Blast! Those Planeteers
are becoming a real pain!
Smash through.
Oh, no! That truck
is going over the edge!
Ma-Ti: And the toxic waste
with it!
If we do not do something,
that stuff will ruin
the entire park forever.
We need Captain Planet.
I will try to reach
Wheeler and Linka.
Heart!
[ Printer whirring ]
Let our powers combine.
Wheeler, our rings are glowing.
Ma-Ti is calling us.
We hear you, Ma-Ti.
Let our powers combine.
Earth!
Fire!
Wind!
Water!
Heart!
By your powers combined,
I am Captain Planet!
All: Go, Planet!
Well, what have we here?
Gaping gorge plus swerving semi
equals trouble.
Uh-oh. That truck
will splatter toxic waste
all over the mountainside.
[ Grunts ]
Way to go,
Captain Planet.
Off-road vehicles are not
allowed in national parks.
[ Grunts ]
We definitely
can't have that.
And now for you,
Mr. Sludge.
But first I got to
stop those toxic trucks.
You're taking me for granite.
[granted]
[ Chuckles ]
Time to rock and roll.
[ Tires squeal ]
Those trucks
are not going anywhere.
Now if only Wheeler and Linka
can stop the computer.
[ Printer whirring ]
It's hopeless.
Whatever's controlling
the computer
has superior logic.
Duh! But can it cope with wild
and crazy illogic?
I got you, babe.
It's big-game time
with wild-man Wheeler
as your host.
Huh?
Okay.
MAL, what's going on?
MAL: Something happening.
Unable --
unable to compute.
Random patterns,
extremely illogical.
MAL, are you okay, baby?
You poor, sweet thing.
I've got a splitting
microchip ache.
I'm losing control
of the environmental agency's
computer.
You did it! We have control
of the computer again.
What are you doing?
Just sending
a little message.
Okay. You can return everything
back to normal.
Captain Planet: Whoa!
Hold on there, partner.
[ Grunts ]
That's as far as you go,
Sludge.
Hey, ranger,
arrest this busybody.
I'm authorized
to dump my load here.
Not anymore you're not,
toxic-head.
The E.A. computer just
took away your authority.
Thanks for your help.
I'll see that the waste
is taken care of,
as well as the waster.
[ All grunting ]
I've got it!
I got it!
Oof!
I hope that Sludge
and his computer cronies
do not bother us again.
Well, I know
that computer won't.
Just what was that
last message you sent?
[ Laughs ]
I give you a hint.
You've heard of
computer virus?
[ Coughs, sneezes ]
MAL...
what is it, baby?
I seem to have caught a --
a virus.
Oh, my,
you're burning up.
Don't go away, lambkin.
I'll get you an ice pack.
I'll -- I-I'll bring you
a megabyte of chicken soup.
It's too late.
You can't get sick!
What about
our brilliant plan?
I'm gonna take a couple
of Aspirin,
and call you
in the morning, doctor.
MAL, you can't do this
to your mommy.
MAL!
Now you're making me sick.
Quick! My air putrefier!
I need some pollution!
All: Go, Planet!
The Planeteers want you
to join them
in keeping our planet
clean, healthy, and beautiful.
Don't litter.
It's completely uncool.
Please, put trash
in its place.
Remember,
if everybody works together...
All: We can clean up the world.
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!

[ Helicopter blades whir ]
[ Insects chirping ]
**
Lovely.
All that toxic waste
on its way to pollute
the national parks.
Yeah, doc.
It sure is sweet.
And the way
you got it fixed,
even them stupid Planeteers
can't stop us.
[ Laughs ]
There's the Geo-Cruiser.
The environmental agency
was certainly the right place
to start looking.
But where are
Linka and Wheeler?
They can't be
too far away.
Kwame and I will search
for them.
I will keep watch here.
It is hopeless. We do not even
know where to begin to look.
Ouch! Huh?
Hey, dudes.
Figured you'd show up
sooner or later.
Where is Ma-Ti?
He's waiting for us
at the Geo-Cruiser.
You misunderstand.
I am a Planeteer, a friend.
[ Dog growls ]
Oops! Now Ma-Ti
is in trouble.
Don't they understand
he's a Planeteer?
Yes,
which is the problem.
Their computer says
all Planeteers are polluters.
Kwame: The guard is going inside
to report.
Now is our opportunity.
Wheeler: What opportunity?
That watchdog looks mean.
Heart!
He's using his power.
[ Dog growls ]
[ Dog whimpers ]
Good work, Ma-Ti.
Our new friend here
knows a secret way inside
so you and Linka
can fix the computer.
The rest of us had better
get to Yellowstone
and stop Sly Sludge.
What if we need
Captain Planet?
We'll keep in touch
through Ma-Ti.
Come on!
[ Dog barks ]
Didn't expect
to find you here.
Who let you two in?
Oh, we have friends
in high places.
Not everyone believes
the Planeteers are criminals.
I'm not certain I do
anymore.
You were right.
The computer has turned
all the national parks
into toxic waste dumps.
Why do you not fix it?
I tried! But I can't!
An outside force
has control of the computer.
Our national parks
are about to be destroyed,
and no one
can stop it!
Rats! Those pesky Planeteers
never give up.
But then neither
does Sly Sludge.
Okay, drivers, step on it.
Get ahead of the lead truck.
I have an idea.
**
Water!
Don't stop! Who's afraid
of a little mud puddle?
[ Tires squealing ]
It didn't work.
The first truck
got through the mud.
Let me try.
Earth!
As they say in this country,
"Here's mud in your eye."
Man: Yeow!
[ Tires squeal ]
We did it!
We blocked the road.
Blast! Those Planeteers
are becoming a real pain!
Smash through.
Oh, no! That truck
is going over the edge!
Ma-Ti: And the toxic waste
with it!
If we do not do something,
that stuff will ruin
the entire park forever.
We need Captain Planet.
I will try to reach
Wheeler and Linka.
Heart!
[ Printer whirring ]
Let our powers combine.
Wheeler, our rings are glowing.
Ma-Ti is calling us.
We hear you, Ma-Ti.
Let our powers combine.
Earth!
Fire!
Wind!
Water!
Heart!
By your powers combined,
I am Captain Planet!
All: Go, Planet!
Well, what have we here?
Gaping gorge plus swerving semi
equals trouble.
Uh-oh. That truck
will splatter toxic waste
all over the mountainside.
[ Grunts ]
Way to go,
Captain Planet.
Off-road vehicles are not
allowed in national parks.
[ Grunts ]
We definitely
can't have that.
And now for you,
Mr. Sludge.
But first I got to
stop those toxic trucks.
You're taking me for granite.
[granted]
[ Chuckles ]
Time to rock and roll.
[ Tires squeal ]
Those trucks
are not going anywhere.
Now if only Wheeler and Linka
can stop the computer.
[ Printer whirring ]
It's hopeless.
Whatever's controlling
the computer
has superior logic.
Duh! But can it cope with wild
and crazy illogic?
I got you, babe.
It's big-game time
with wild-man Wheeler
as your host.
Huh?
Okay.
MAL, what's going on?
MAL: Something happening.
Unable --
unable to compute.
Random patterns,
extremely illogical.
MAL, are you okay, baby?
You poor, sweet thing.
I've got a splitting
microchip ache.
I'm losing control
of the environmental agency's
computer.
You did it! We have control
of the computer again.
What are you doing?
Just sending
a little message.
Okay. You can return everything
back to normal.
Captain Planet: Whoa!
Hold on there, partner.
[ Grunts ]
That's as far as you go,
Sludge.
Hey, ranger,
arrest this busybody.
I'm authorized
to dump my load here.
Not anymore you're not,
toxic-head.
The E.A. computer just
took away your authority.
Thanks for your help.
I'll see that the waste
is taken care of,
as well as the waster.
[ All grunting ]
I've got it!
I got it!
Oof!
I hope that Sludge
and his computer cronies
do not bother us again.
Well, I know
that computer won't.
Just what was that
last message you sent?
[ Laughs ]
I give you a hint.
You've heard of
computer virus?
[ Coughs, sneezes ]
MAL...
what is it, baby?
I seem to have caught a --
a virus.
Oh, my,
you're burning up.
Don't go away, lambkin.
I'll get you an ice pack.
I'll -- I-I'll bring you
a megabyte of chicken soup.
It's too late.
You can't get sick!
What about
our brilliant plan?
I'm gonna take a couple
of Aspirin,
and call you
in the morning, doctor.
MAL, you can't do this
to your mommy.
MAL!
Now you're making me sick.
Quick! My air putrefier!
I need some pollution!
All: Go, Planet!
The Planeteers want you
to join them
in keeping our planet
clean, healthy, and beautiful.
Don't litter.
It's completely uncool.
Please, put trash
in its place.
Remember,
if everybody works together...
All: We can clean up the world.
The power is yours!
Earth!
Fire!
Wind!
Water!
Heart!
All: Go, Planet!
By your powers combined,
I am Captain Planet!
