Captain Planet and the Planeteers (1990–1996): Season 1, Episode 20 - The Ultimate Pollution - full transcript
Two Middle Eastern village leaders have declared war on one another, despite their sons' friendship and pleas for peace, when an arms-dealer claims that each will attack the other and sells them weapons. The Planeteers, like the children, are aware of the needlessness of the fighting, and the loss of life, destruction of the land, and suffering for both peoples it will ultimately bring. But they learn that Looten Plunder is the one selling weapons, and suddenly not only have to convince the chiefs to end combat, but also have to make sure Plunder doesn't stop them getting their message out first.
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!
Ugh!
I tried to
bring food for you,
but there is none.
My village, too,
is out of food.
Both our villages
will starve if
this war keeps going.
Take cover, Khalil!
It's okay, Khalil.
The shooting will
be over soon.
I want it over now!
Wheeler: Whoa! It's getting
pretty hot down there.
Gaia: We must stop it
before it gets worse.
How can we stop
a war, Gaia?
By stopping those
responsible.
Linka: Bozhe moi!
Those men are selling weapons!
Gaia: To both sides.
They've tricked the villagers
into hating one another.
Ma-Ti:
I cannot look at this.
It hurts too much
to see such suffering.
I know, but only
when people realize
the consequences
of war, Ma-Ti,
will they find
the wisdom to stop it.
There is no time
to waste, Planeteers.
See what you have
done to my village?
You will pay
for this, Yusef.
You started
this war, Abu.
You attacked
my village first.
Abu: Me?
Why, you lying...
You were planning
to attack me!
Khalil: Papa! Papa, please!
Please stop this!
Come, Efermi,
I told you not
to play with Khalil.
He is our enemy.
He is worthless.
I will show you
who is worthless!
Run, Efermi!
Run for your life!
Kwame: We are the Planeteers.
Please stop
before someone gets hurt!
Efermi: Aah!
Earth!
You saved our lives.
Thank you.
You could best thank us
by stopping this war.
I cannot.
Come to my village
and see what our enemy
has done.
Then you will understand.
Let's hurry while
that tank is still
topsy-turvy.
Papa! These people
are right.
You must
stop this fighting.
You are only a child,
Efermi.
You do not understand.
Stupid tank!
It cost me a fortune,
and it doesn't even
work right!
Aah!
Father, are you
all right?
I will be, just as soon
as I buy a better tank.
We think you should
listen to your son.
There is no reason
for this war.
There is a reason.
Yusef's people
attacked us without warning.
I don't know what
we would have done
if our friendly
arms dealer had not arrived.
He is no friend!
How can you say that?
He sold us guns
to protect ourselves
from Yusef's attacks.
Exactly.
He wants your money
in his pockets.
Efermi: Baladi! Baladi!
Oh, Baladi, you are safe!
With his hard work,
Baladi, our bullock,
provides the entire
village with water.
At least
we have water.
Because of the war,
we have no money
to buy food.
What? You spend
all your money
on weapons?
There is none
left over for food?
Please, my young friends.
I am chief of this village.
I will decide what is
best for my people.
We need more valuables
to trade for weapons!
Everyone must contribute.
A necklace --
that will buy many bullets.
Thank you, Edam.
No, Sahad, we don't need
your goat just yet.
Ah!
[ Goat bleats ]
Now, you see -- My people
will do anything
to protect themselves
from Yusef's
cowardly attacks.
[ Boom ]
What is that?
That, my friends,
is the great man
who is helping us
defeat our enemy.
Man: There's nothing
like using clay pigeons
to trap myself
some live ones.
[ Crowd shouting happily ]
Woman: There he is!
[ Woman sighs ]
Looten Plunder!
He's the arms merchant!
He and Bleak have
deceived these people.
We will never convince them
to stop this war.
We're not beaten yet.
Come on!
Greetings,
helpful sir.
Abu, my fine
feathered friend.
What do you have
for me today?
Well, there's
nothing here but
a few jewels and coins.
Please, Mr. Plunder.
It is all we have left.
What about
those old statues?
Our sacred carvings?
We could
never sell those.
I understand
your enemy Yusef has
bought new supertanks.
Unless you buy some,
too, your village will
be reduced to rubble.
But we have given you
everything we have.
We have nothing left.
Gi: Hey, Plunder,
why don't you tell them
where the other village
got its tanks?
Who said that?
I did.
Planeteers? I'll teach you
to meddle with commerce.
Spies! Spies! Those people are
spies from Yusef's village.
Get them!
[ Crowd shouting ]
Abu: Stop! These young people
saved my son from Yusef's tank.
They are friends.
I will not let you harm them.
Linka: Gi, Ma-Ti, what happened?
Gi: Looten Plunder
is here, selling arms.
Plunder?
That double-dealing
money monger!
Let's grab him!
Too late!
There he goes!
I sense that
he will be back.
Linka: It is good
Gaia told us to bring food.
Wheeler: Yeah,
these guys are starving.
Abu: You have
not only saved my life,
you have saved my people.
If you ended the war,
you could grow
your own food again.
Now we must
take supplies
to the other village.
What? You would
help our enemy?!
They're hungry, too.
Besides, we're going to ask
Yusef to stop the war.
Why would he stop it?
He started it!
When will you realize that
Looten Plunder started it?
Perhaps Mr. Plunder
was right.
Perhaps
you are spies.
Uh, come on, guys.
Let's split
while we still can.
Efermi: Wait!
Planeteers, wait!
Please,
give half of my food
to my friend Khalil
at the other village.
I wish he was
the village chief
instead of his father.
Looks
peaceful enough.
Something moved
behind that bush.
Whoever you are,
come out. We will
not hurt you.
I saw you with Efermi today.
I am Khalil.
Khalil. Well, Khalil.
I have a gift for you
from Efermi.
When you see my friend,
give him my thanks.
Now go tell your father
we have brought food
and medicine.
I hope Khalil's father
will help stop this war.
Bleak:
This is the ultimate tank!
The weapon that will let you
crush your enemies.
Wheeler:
It's Argos Bleak!
Come on.
Let's get closer.
Kwame: Oh, no!
Heh heh heh!
You walked right
into Mr. Plunder's
brat trap!
Made specially for
you Planet Brats!
It's soundproof
so that your voices
can't be heard.
Planeteers,
let our powers combine.
Earth!
Fire!
Wind!
Water!
Heart!
Don't bother
wasting your energy.
Our trap is lined
with toxic plastic
so you can't
call your pal
Captain Planet!
And with our
"planet problem"
out of the way,
Mr. Plunder
can stir up wars
all over the world.
Heh heh heh heh!
There must be
some way out.
I say we
melt our way. Fire!
No, Wheeler!
You will turn
this trap into an oven!
But I can try.
Wind!
Aaah!
Talk about a hot,
sticky situation.
If we don't
get out of here soon,
we're going to roast.
Looten Plunder will
spread war and hate
all over the world,
and there's
nothing we can
do to stop him.
Plunder:
Yusef, this tank is you!
Take it for a test drive.
Yusef: It must cost
a lot of money.
But look what
it comes with.
4 land-to-air
missiles...
200 rounds
of 50-millimeter
armor-piercing shells.
Bleak: A heavy-duty
flame cannon.
And if you buy today,
I'll throw in
power windows,
power brakes,
and AM-FM
combat stereo
with cassette.
We cannot afford
to buy it.
With my low
monthly payments,
you can't afford
not to buy it.
You want to protect
your village,
don't you?
Yes, I do, but--
Abu's village has
3 of these tanks.
3?
And I hear
he's going to be
attacking soon.
I can't help you
if you aren't prepared
to defend yourself.
I will raise
the money somehow.
You're my kind
of man, Yusef.
Someday they'll
name a war after me.
[ Sighs ]
Well, Bleak,
counting the tanks
I sold Abu this morning,
that was
my biggest sale yet.
What do we sell them
next, Mr. Plunder?
Nuclear weapons?
Unfortunately not,
Bleak.
They're
both out of money.
But there are plenty
of other buyers
out there.
[ Explosion ]
I thought Abu
wasn't going to attack
for another hour.
This time we'll attack Yusef
before he attacks us.
Fire!
[ People screaming ]
Don't those fools know
guns are dangerous?
I think so, Mr. Plunder.
That's what you told them
in your sales pitch.
Aaah! And this is
one time you didn't lie!
We will teach
those jackals to attack us
before we can attack them!
The tanks are tearing up
those fields!
[ Laughing ]
They'll never
harvest that crop!
Who cares?
I'll get my money.
Bleak:
Mr. Plunder, you sure
know how to start a war.
Plunder:
And a booming
business it is.
After I franchise
my tank operation,
the whole planet will be
one big battlefield.
Heh heh!
[ Bullock bellows ]
Hmm...
[ Gasps ]
Oh, thank you.
We could not have
lasted in that heat
much longer.
[ All gasp ]
Kwame: Quickly!
Aaah!
We must stop this!
It is time for teamwork!
Then let
our powers combine.
Earth!
Fire!
Wind!
Water!
Heart!
By your powers combined,
I am Captain Planet!
Go, Planet!
Captain Planet:
This village has been here
for hundreds of years,
and those weapons
will destroy it
in 5 minutes -- unless...
The best thing to do
about a war is to get out of it.
Hmm. It's not like I think
of my work as "tankless,"
but the planet should be!
Rat! That tank wasn't
even paid for yet!
Now we'll never
be able to sell it on
the used-weapons market.
I can't let Captain Planet
stop me now.
Bleak,
get the Megamasher!
Right away, Mr. Plunder.
One Megamasher
at your service, sir.
Arm the toxic waste
missiles.
They'll take care
of Captain Planet.
Captain Planet: Now
to turn these war machines
into something useful.
There's enough steel here
to make 2,000 plows
and 100 water pumps.
Plunder: Waste him!
Bleak: Missile on target,
Mr. Plunder.
Maybe I can burn that out
before it explodes.
Uggh!
[ Gasping ]
It must have...
been toxic.
I hope the Planeteers
get here in time.
How dare you attack
my village, you coward!
So, you can dish it out,
but you can't take it.
You started this war.
I was only defending
my people.
I started it?
You attacked me first.
I was defending my people.
Efermi: Father,
listen to me.
Please, Papa. You must
listen to the Planeteers.
Let me talk
to m father.
Efermi,
wait for me!
No! Come back!
Papa!
Stop!
Do not fight anymore!
Please,
end this war.
Both: Huh?
Khalil! Look out!
That tank
is out of control.
Abu: Efermi!
Thank goodness
you are alive, my son.
Khalil!
I almost lost you.
How can I
ever repay you?
Yes, how?
By finally listening
to what your sons tell you.
Stop this foolish war.
Never!
Do you not understand?
Looten Plunder tricked you
by making you afraid
of each other.
It is true, Yusef.
Who told you that Abu
was going to attack?
Was it the same person
who sold you arms?
Mr. Plunder.
And, Abu,
who told you that Yusef
was planning to attack?
You are right.
It wa Plunder.
Efermi: Please, Papa,
stop the war.
Khalil and I
want us all to be
friends again.
Abu: I am sorry, Yusef.
I have been a fool.
No, Abu. We have
both been fools.
Peace.
Peace.
Excellent. Outstanding.
[ Boys shout ]
Ow!
What's wrong, Ma-Ti?
I feel a pain.
Captain Planet is in trouble.
We must find him.
He's not moving,
Mr. Plunder.
It looks like the world
is safe again for
profitable polluting.
My finest moment.
One more missile,
and it's curtains
for Captain Planet.
Wrong, Plunder.
The critics have given
your show 2 thumbs down.
Your warmongering days
are over.
That's
what you think.
Kwame: Quick. We must
get him out of the shade
and into the sunlight.
Here is the water
you asked for.
Quick. Wash off
the toxics.
Ahhh!
Thanks, Planeteers.
Where's Plunder?
Getting away!
Well, then I better
get in gear.
Are you sure
you're okay?
I'll feel a lot better
when Looten Plunder
gets what he deserves.
Bleak: Mr. Plunder,
Captain Planet's back!
Plunder: If you keep bringing me
bad news, Bleak, I'll fire you.
What comes around
goes around, Plunder.
Nice tank. Mind if I
take it for a spin?
[ Plunder and Bleak yelling ]
Linka: What did you do
with Plunder and Bleak?
Just set them down
on a glacier to
chill out for a while.
I'll get you for this,
Captain Planet!
Ha ha ha!
I just hope they don't
try to sell any weapons
to the penguins.
Time for me to split,
Planeteers.
The power is yours!
Kwame: Ugh! There!
That should do it.
One ready-to-go tractor.
This should help you
plant new crops
to replace the ones
that the war destroyed.
First, we will
plant the crops
for your village, Abu.
No, Yusef. We will
plant the crops
for yo village.
Kwame: It looks like
the two villages
are going to spend
their time working together
instead of against each other.
And it looks like your
tank conversions are paying off
in more ways than one.
That well-digger just struck
an underground spring.
[ Boys laughing ]
When people can be
that happy sharing
this good planet,
why do they have
to fight over it?
If everyone in the world
was as smart as those two,
wars would never happen.
[ Boys laughing ]
Planeteers: Go, planet!
Captain Planet: Our world
can be a place of peace
or a battlefield.
Ma-Ti: Peace begins at home.
Even your schoolyard can be
a place for friendships.
Linka: Or a place
for making enemies.
Wheeler: Fighting isn't
about being brave.
Kwame: It is about being dumb.
Why fight when it's smarter
to make friends?
Gi: That way,
everybody wins!
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!
**
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!
Ugh!
I tried to
bring food for you,
but there is none.
My village, too,
is out of food.
Both our villages
will starve if
this war keeps going.
Take cover, Khalil!
It's okay, Khalil.
The shooting will
be over soon.
I want it over now!
Wheeler: Whoa! It's getting
pretty hot down there.
Gaia: We must stop it
before it gets worse.
How can we stop
a war, Gaia?
By stopping those
responsible.
Linka: Bozhe moi!
Those men are selling weapons!
Gaia: To both sides.
They've tricked the villagers
into hating one another.
Ma-Ti:
I cannot look at this.
It hurts too much
to see such suffering.
I know, but only
when people realize
the consequences
of war, Ma-Ti,
will they find
the wisdom to stop it.
There is no time
to waste, Planeteers.
See what you have
done to my village?
You will pay
for this, Yusef.
You started
this war, Abu.
You attacked
my village first.
Abu: Me?
Why, you lying...
You were planning
to attack me!
Khalil: Papa! Papa, please!
Please stop this!
Come, Efermi,
I told you not
to play with Khalil.
He is our enemy.
He is worthless.
I will show you
who is worthless!
Run, Efermi!
Run for your life!
Kwame: We are the Planeteers.
Please stop
before someone gets hurt!
Efermi: Aah!
Earth!
You saved our lives.
Thank you.
You could best thank us
by stopping this war.
I cannot.
Come to my village
and see what our enemy
has done.
Then you will understand.
Let's hurry while
that tank is still
topsy-turvy.
Papa! These people
are right.
You must
stop this fighting.
You are only a child,
Efermi.
You do not understand.
Stupid tank!
It cost me a fortune,
and it doesn't even
work right!
Aah!
Father, are you
all right?
I will be, just as soon
as I buy a better tank.
We think you should
listen to your son.
There is no reason
for this war.
There is a reason.
Yusef's people
attacked us without warning.
I don't know what
we would have done
if our friendly
arms dealer had not arrived.
He is no friend!
How can you say that?
He sold us guns
to protect ourselves
from Yusef's attacks.
Exactly.
He wants your money
in his pockets.
Efermi: Baladi! Baladi!
Oh, Baladi, you are safe!
With his hard work,
Baladi, our bullock,
provides the entire
village with water.
At least
we have water.
Because of the war,
we have no money
to buy food.
What? You spend
all your money
on weapons?
There is none
left over for food?
Please, my young friends.
I am chief of this village.
I will decide what is
best for my people.
We need more valuables
to trade for weapons!
Everyone must contribute.
A necklace --
that will buy many bullets.
Thank you, Edam.
No, Sahad, we don't need
your goat just yet.
Ah!
[ Goat bleats ]
Now, you see -- My people
will do anything
to protect themselves
from Yusef's
cowardly attacks.
[ Boom ]
What is that?
That, my friends,
is the great man
who is helping us
defeat our enemy.
Man: There's nothing
like using clay pigeons
to trap myself
some live ones.
[ Crowd shouting happily ]
Woman: There he is!
[ Woman sighs ]
Looten Plunder!
He's the arms merchant!
He and Bleak have
deceived these people.
We will never convince them
to stop this war.
We're not beaten yet.
Come on!
Greetings,
helpful sir.
Abu, my fine
feathered friend.
What do you have
for me today?
Well, there's
nothing here but
a few jewels and coins.
Please, Mr. Plunder.
It is all we have left.
What about
those old statues?
Our sacred carvings?
We could
never sell those.
I understand
your enemy Yusef has
bought new supertanks.
Unless you buy some,
too, your village will
be reduced to rubble.
But we have given you
everything we have.
We have nothing left.
Gi: Hey, Plunder,
why don't you tell them
where the other village
got its tanks?
Who said that?
I did.
Planeteers? I'll teach you
to meddle with commerce.
Spies! Spies! Those people are
spies from Yusef's village.
Get them!
[ Crowd shouting ]
Abu: Stop! These young people
saved my son from Yusef's tank.
They are friends.
I will not let you harm them.
Linka: Gi, Ma-Ti, what happened?
Gi: Looten Plunder
is here, selling arms.
Plunder?
That double-dealing
money monger!
Let's grab him!
Too late!
There he goes!
I sense that
he will be back.
Linka: It is good
Gaia told us to bring food.
Wheeler: Yeah,
these guys are starving.
Abu: You have
not only saved my life,
you have saved my people.
If you ended the war,
you could grow
your own food again.
Now we must
take supplies
to the other village.
What? You would
help our enemy?!
They're hungry, too.
Besides, we're going to ask
Yusef to stop the war.
Why would he stop it?
He started it!
When will you realize that
Looten Plunder started it?
Perhaps Mr. Plunder
was right.
Perhaps
you are spies.
Uh, come on, guys.
Let's split
while we still can.
Efermi: Wait!
Planeteers, wait!
Please,
give half of my food
to my friend Khalil
at the other village.
I wish he was
the village chief
instead of his father.
Looks
peaceful enough.
Something moved
behind that bush.
Whoever you are,
come out. We will
not hurt you.
I saw you with Efermi today.
I am Khalil.
Khalil. Well, Khalil.
I have a gift for you
from Efermi.
When you see my friend,
give him my thanks.
Now go tell your father
we have brought food
and medicine.
I hope Khalil's father
will help stop this war.
Bleak:
This is the ultimate tank!
The weapon that will let you
crush your enemies.
Wheeler:
It's Argos Bleak!
Come on.
Let's get closer.
Kwame: Oh, no!
Heh heh heh!
You walked right
into Mr. Plunder's
brat trap!
Made specially for
you Planet Brats!
It's soundproof
so that your voices
can't be heard.
Planeteers,
let our powers combine.
Earth!
Fire!
Wind!
Water!
Heart!
Don't bother
wasting your energy.
Our trap is lined
with toxic plastic
so you can't
call your pal
Captain Planet!
And with our
"planet problem"
out of the way,
Mr. Plunder
can stir up wars
all over the world.
Heh heh heh heh!
There must be
some way out.
I say we
melt our way. Fire!
No, Wheeler!
You will turn
this trap into an oven!
But I can try.
Wind!
Aaah!
Talk about a hot,
sticky situation.
If we don't
get out of here soon,
we're going to roast.
Looten Plunder will
spread war and hate
all over the world,
and there's
nothing we can
do to stop him.
Plunder:
Yusef, this tank is you!
Take it for a test drive.
Yusef: It must cost
a lot of money.
But look what
it comes with.
4 land-to-air
missiles...
200 rounds
of 50-millimeter
armor-piercing shells.
Bleak: A heavy-duty
flame cannon.
And if you buy today,
I'll throw in
power windows,
power brakes,
and AM-FM
combat stereo
with cassette.
We cannot afford
to buy it.
With my low
monthly payments,
you can't afford
not to buy it.
You want to protect
your village,
don't you?
Yes, I do, but--
Abu's village has
3 of these tanks.
3?
And I hear
he's going to be
attacking soon.
I can't help you
if you aren't prepared
to defend yourself.
I will raise
the money somehow.
You're my kind
of man, Yusef.
Someday they'll
name a war after me.
[ Sighs ]
Well, Bleak,
counting the tanks
I sold Abu this morning,
that was
my biggest sale yet.
What do we sell them
next, Mr. Plunder?
Nuclear weapons?
Unfortunately not,
Bleak.
They're
both out of money.
But there are plenty
of other buyers
out there.
[ Explosion ]
I thought Abu
wasn't going to attack
for another hour.
This time we'll attack Yusef
before he attacks us.
Fire!
[ People screaming ]
Don't those fools know
guns are dangerous?
I think so, Mr. Plunder.
That's what you told them
in your sales pitch.
Aaah! And this is
one time you didn't lie!
We will teach
those jackals to attack us
before we can attack them!
The tanks are tearing up
those fields!
[ Laughing ]
They'll never
harvest that crop!
Who cares?
I'll get my money.
Bleak:
Mr. Plunder, you sure
know how to start a war.
Plunder:
And a booming
business it is.
After I franchise
my tank operation,
the whole planet will be
one big battlefield.
Heh heh!
[ Bullock bellows ]
Hmm...
[ Gasps ]
Oh, thank you.
We could not have
lasted in that heat
much longer.
[ All gasp ]
Kwame: Quickly!
Aaah!
We must stop this!
It is time for teamwork!
Then let
our powers combine.
Earth!
Fire!
Wind!
Water!
Heart!
By your powers combined,
I am Captain Planet!
Go, Planet!
Captain Planet:
This village has been here
for hundreds of years,
and those weapons
will destroy it
in 5 minutes -- unless...
The best thing to do
about a war is to get out of it.
Hmm. It's not like I think
of my work as "tankless,"
but the planet should be!
Rat! That tank wasn't
even paid for yet!
Now we'll never
be able to sell it on
the used-weapons market.
I can't let Captain Planet
stop me now.
Bleak,
get the Megamasher!
Right away, Mr. Plunder.
One Megamasher
at your service, sir.
Arm the toxic waste
missiles.
They'll take care
of Captain Planet.
Captain Planet: Now
to turn these war machines
into something useful.
There's enough steel here
to make 2,000 plows
and 100 water pumps.
Plunder: Waste him!
Bleak: Missile on target,
Mr. Plunder.
Maybe I can burn that out
before it explodes.
Uggh!
[ Gasping ]
It must have...
been toxic.
I hope the Planeteers
get here in time.
How dare you attack
my village, you coward!
So, you can dish it out,
but you can't take it.
You started this war.
I was only defending
my people.
I started it?
You attacked me first.
I was defending my people.
Efermi: Father,
listen to me.
Please, Papa. You must
listen to the Planeteers.
Let me talk
to m father.
Efermi,
wait for me!
No! Come back!
Papa!
Stop!
Do not fight anymore!
Please,
end this war.
Both: Huh?
Khalil! Look out!
That tank
is out of control.
Abu: Efermi!
Thank goodness
you are alive, my son.
Khalil!
I almost lost you.
How can I
ever repay you?
Yes, how?
By finally listening
to what your sons tell you.
Stop this foolish war.
Never!
Do you not understand?
Looten Plunder tricked you
by making you afraid
of each other.
It is true, Yusef.
Who told you that Abu
was going to attack?
Was it the same person
who sold you arms?
Mr. Plunder.
And, Abu,
who told you that Yusef
was planning to attack?
You are right.
It wa Plunder.
Efermi: Please, Papa,
stop the war.
Khalil and I
want us all to be
friends again.
Abu: I am sorry, Yusef.
I have been a fool.
No, Abu. We have
both been fools.
Peace.
Peace.
Excellent. Outstanding.
[ Boys shout ]
Ow!
What's wrong, Ma-Ti?
I feel a pain.
Captain Planet is in trouble.
We must find him.
He's not moving,
Mr. Plunder.
It looks like the world
is safe again for
profitable polluting.
My finest moment.
One more missile,
and it's curtains
for Captain Planet.
Wrong, Plunder.
The critics have given
your show 2 thumbs down.
Your warmongering days
are over.
That's
what you think.
Kwame: Quick. We must
get him out of the shade
and into the sunlight.
Here is the water
you asked for.
Quick. Wash off
the toxics.
Ahhh!
Thanks, Planeteers.
Where's Plunder?
Getting away!
Well, then I better
get in gear.
Are you sure
you're okay?
I'll feel a lot better
when Looten Plunder
gets what he deserves.
Bleak: Mr. Plunder,
Captain Planet's back!
Plunder: If you keep bringing me
bad news, Bleak, I'll fire you.
What comes around
goes around, Plunder.
Nice tank. Mind if I
take it for a spin?
[ Plunder and Bleak yelling ]
Linka: What did you do
with Plunder and Bleak?
Just set them down
on a glacier to
chill out for a while.
I'll get you for this,
Captain Planet!
Ha ha ha!
I just hope they don't
try to sell any weapons
to the penguins.
Time for me to split,
Planeteers.
The power is yours!
Kwame: Ugh! There!
That should do it.
One ready-to-go tractor.
This should help you
plant new crops
to replace the ones
that the war destroyed.
First, we will
plant the crops
for your village, Abu.
No, Yusef. We will
plant the crops
for yo village.
Kwame: It looks like
the two villages
are going to spend
their time working together
instead of against each other.
And it looks like your
tank conversions are paying off
in more ways than one.
That well-digger just struck
an underground spring.
[ Boys laughing ]
When people can be
that happy sharing
this good planet,
why do they have
to fight over it?
If everyone in the world
was as smart as those two,
wars would never happen.
[ Boys laughing ]
Planeteers: Go, planet!
Captain Planet: Our world
can be a place of peace
or a battlefield.
Ma-Ti: Peace begins at home.
Even your schoolyard can be
a place for friendships.
Linka: Or a place
for making enemies.
Wheeler: Fighting isn't
about being brave.
Kwame: It is about being dumb.
Why fight when it's smarter
to make friends?
Gi: That way,
everybody wins!
The power is yours!
Earth!
Fire!
Wind!
Water!
Heart!
All: Go, Planet!
By your powers combined,
I am Captain Planet!
