Captain Planet and the Planeteers (1990–1996): Season 1, Episode 9 - Tree of Life - full transcript
Dr. Blight cuts down a magical tree that contains all the powers of Nature. With this power now at her disposal, even Captain Planet may not be strong enough to stop her from destroying the forest.
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!
**
And our legend says
that the great tree of life
grew here in the valley
millions of years ago,
when the Earth
was still forming.
The great rains flooded her
roots.
The howling winds
lashed at her branches,
but still she clung
to the ground
and grew bravely
towards the angry sky.
In her sap
was the power of life,
and from her seedlings
sprang all the trees
in the forest.
[ Chain saw buzzing,
children chattering ]
Children, return to the village!
Hurry!
[ Whirring ]
So this is the famous
tree of life.
It's big.
But the bigger they come,
the harder they fall.
Robojacks, cut it down!
[ Chain saws buzzing ]
Stop!
You have harmed
the forest enough,
and you will not destroy
the tree of life.
Don't be foolish, Father.
My son.
How could you have revealed
the great tree
to this evil woman?
Dr. Blight has offered
a great deal of money
to cut it down.
No.
If the tree of life dies,
the entire forest
will die with it.
That's just
a fairy tale, Father.
I'm a collector.
I collect big things.
I'm a very busy villain --
I mean, woman.
I don't have time for arguing.
Cut it down!
[ Chain saws buzzing ]
You have underestimated
the power of nature.
The tree of life is far greater
than your machines.
Now go!
Very well.
Until we meet again...
Which, unfortunately for you,
will be very soon.
[ Engine starts ]
Gaia: To the crystal chamber,
Planeteers.
[ Twinkle! ]
Dr. Blight has cut a deadly path
through the great redwoods
of North America
in order to reach
the tree of life,
the greatest redwood
of them all.
What's so special
about some old tree?
That old tree
happens to hold inside of it
all the powers of nature.
You must stop Dr. Blight,
Planeteers.
It just doesn't compute.
How could you return
without the tree of life?
Because my robojacks
couldn't cut through it.
If you're so smart, how come
you didn't compute that?
[ Gasps ]
I'm sorry, MAL, sweetums.
It's all that stress.
It isn't easy being evil.
Did you analyze
the bark I gave you?
The sap contains the molecular
polymatrix DNA configuration
of nature's
inert energy quotient.
Give it to me straight,
Cutie Pie.
Bottle this stuff,
and you'll be living lightning,
strong enough to take on
Captain Planet.
Your output is music to my ears.
Now tell me
how can I cut down the tree.
The answer is logical --
build a bigger robojack.
You're a genius, MAL!
I'll get on it right away.
Mwah!
Ooh-ooh-ooh!
I'm not programmed for romance.
My super-robojack will cut
through the tree of life
like a hot knife through butter!
[ Laughs evilly ]
Ahh.
Stay on the boulders,
Planeteers!
Don't lose your
concentration, Linka!
Ha! I was broad-jump champion
of my district.
Your advice I do not need.
Aaaaaaaaah! Aaah!
You're living in the past,
Father.
Move aside.
Make way for the future.
There will be no future
for our forest
if the tree of life dies.
[ Rustling ]
Aaaaaaah!
Chort vozmi!
[ Groans softly ]
Sorry about my compadre's
rude entrance.
Hey, Planeteer,
stay alert.
We are the Planeteers.
We want to help you protect
the tree of life.
It's none of your business.
I'm selling the tree
to Dr. Blight.
Have you flipped
your twig?!
[ All scream ]
Is it an earthquake?!
No. Worse. Look!
**
I will not let that hunk of tin
harm the tree of life!
Earth!
[ Twinkle! ]
Nice shot, Kwame.
I think we made him mad!
I'll take care
of that robo-menace!
Going up?
Going down.
Fire!
[ Twinkle! ]
Uh-oh.
This is not good.
Wheeler's in trouble!
Water!
[ Twinkle! ]
Oww!
Run --
before it's too late!
So those measly little
Planeteers
think they can stand up
to my robojack.
Even if you could escape
your prison, Planeteers,
you'd have to take a dip
in my moat.
Ew! Those fumes are strong!
Unfortunately,
you'll find my tree defoliant
a little harsh on the skin.
[ Chuckles evilly ]
Robojack, bring me
the tree of life!
[ Chain saw buzzing ]
No! You must not! Stop!
Nice. Very nice.
Put it on the truck.
We made a deal.
You have the tree of life.
Now pay me the money
you promised.
Pay him, robojack.
Ugh!
Ohh!
Don't you know
eco-villains always lie?
I should have listened
to you, Father.
Ta-ta, happy campers!
You keep an eye on those
rotten Planeteers, robojack.
I've got sap to tap!
It has come to pass.
The tree of life is gone.
The forest is doomed.
There must be some way
out of here.
It is time
for Captain Planet!
Let our powers combine!
Earth!
Fire!
Wind!
Water!
Heart!
The pollution in the moat
is too strong.
Our powers are too weak
to summon Captain Planet.
According to my computations,
the tree sap has reached
the correct temperature.
Excellent.
Now to test it.
Ahh. The essence
of nature's energy.
How do you feel?
Nasty.
And now I have the strength
to be nastier than ever!
Now that you're all-powerful,
what will you do first?
Simple --
Crush Captain Planet to dust!
[ Laughs evilly ]
Ahh.
If only Captain Planet
were here.
He could chop these walls
into toothpicks!
Sorry to disappoint you,
but you'll have to settle
for the Queen of evil.
She has gained the powers
of nature from the tree of life.
You're dusted, grandpa.
[ All screaming ]
Pretty impressive,
don't you think?
I do not understand.
Why are you letting us out?
Because I want you
to call Captain Planet.
We will, and he will teach you
a lesson you will never forget!
Au contraire.
This time,
Dr. Blight is giving the lesson,
and the captain
is going to flunk.
When Captain Planet
comes looking for me,
just tell him
I'll be in the forest,
chopping it down.
[ Laughs evilly ]
Ahh.
We have to call
Captain Planet!
He can stop her!
Let our powers combine.
Earth!
Fire!
Wind!
Water!
Heart!
By your powers combined,
I am Captain Planet!
All:
Go, Captain Planet!
Hey, Planeteers.
What's the word?
It's two words, Cap --
"Dr. Blight!"
She's cutting down
the forest!
Bad news.
She's got to be stopped!
Wait! Captain Planet!
You do not know
the whole story!
Hurry, Planeteers!
He could need our help!
[ Squirrel chittering ]
[ Bird screeches ]
Keep chopping.
That do-good superhero
will show up sooner or later.
I prefer sooner myself.
But first,
a little game of footsie!
Have a nice trip!
What kind of twisted mind
would want to destroy
this irreplaceable forest?
Didn't your mother teach you
any manners?
Only the bad kind,
Captain Planet.
Ugh!
Don't you think you're going
out on a limb here, doc?
Ugh! You know, I didn't come
here to fight, Blight,
but don't think you can play me
for some kind of sap!
Uhhh!
[ Grunting ]
Whoa! Ugh!
You know, I think
your misplaced aggression
is the root
of your problem.
I'll dip you
in my toxic defoliants.
Ugh! Ohh!
Ugh!
[ Laughs evilly ]
I knew
that would weaken you.
Blast it all.
Nowpowers are fading.
Good thing I've got refills
back at my secret lab.
And I did manage to get
an ugly storm going.
**
Indian Chief:
With the trees cut down,
there was nothing
to soak up the rain.
The water and mud
slid down the hill
and washed away all the crops.
Our people will vanish,
like our animal friends
who have also lost their homes.
Then we must stop Dr. Blight
before she destroys
the rest of the forest.
Fat chance! She's got Cap!
And we do not know where.
You know the old ways
of tracking, Father.
You can help us find
Captain Planet!
I will try.
Are you sure you won't join me,
Captain Planet?
With our combined powers,
we could take pollution
to new heights.
I want to save the planet,
not destroy it!
Suit yourself.
I'll just turn the smog back up
to first-stage alert,
and you'll be permanently
out of my hair.
Ohhhhhh!
The signs show Captain Planet
was dragged into that cave.
Wheeler: Nice going, chief!
You found Blight's hideout!
Now go.
Find Captain Planet.
Gi: There's Captain Planet!
Wheeler: That computer's
playing watchdog.
[ Snoring ]
You guys stay here,
and I'll sneak past.
Look! That vat
must be making the spray
that gives Dr. Blight
her power!
Ugh! Oof!
My I.D. scanner detects
an unauthorized life form.
Please identify.
You keep him busy.
I have to do
a little rewiring.
Hi. Wheeler here.
What's the problem?
You are a Planeteer,
and you're in big trouble.
Right.
What are you gonna do --
throw spears at me?
Not a bad idea.
No! Me and my big mouth!
[ Laughs ]
Hey, stop! Stop that!
[ Laughs ]
Who's tickling my circuits?
[ Laughter ]
Stop that.
[ Laughs ]
Hi. My name is MAL.
I'm a computer.
I like games.
Shall we play?
Yes!
That's not
such a good idea.
I know what I am doing.
Stay alert.
Let's play
"pin the spear on that vat."
Oh, goody, goody! What fun!
Sounds like a real kick
in the kilobytes!
[ Chuckles ]
Yippee! Bull's eye!
How did you do that?
I reconnected
his original circuitry,
the way he was before
Dr. Blight programmed him
with her evil ideas.
Now Dr. Blight can't get refills
of her power spray.
Come back soon. Bye.
Are you all right,
Captain Planet?
[ Coughing ]
Kwame:
Recharge yourself?
Ah, no time for that.
I got to stop Dr. Blight
before she destroys
the entire forest!
The only good redwood
is dead redwood.
You weren't supposed
to escape!
And you're not supposed
to destroy this forest.
I have the power
to do what I want...
[ Warble! ]
...And I want to destroy
you!
[ Warble! ]
You don't matter!
Trees don't matter!
Only I matter!
It can almost match
her powers!
He's giving her resources.
You can't win!
I have
lightning-fast reflexes!
Ugh!
Looks like you've lost
your spark, Captain Planet.
Leave him alone, Blight!
You have done enough!
Yah!
Ugh!
I can't be bothered by pests.
It's time for the final blow!
The planet is not yours yet,
Dr. Blight.
Meet your fate,
Captain Planet.
Ohh! Ohh! Ugh! Ahh!
Now that you're
totally weakened,
I'll make myself
even stronger.
Where is
my superpower spray?
Looking for this?
You cheater!
You picked my pocket
when you grabbed me!
Let's just say
I'm putting the power
where it really belongs.
[ Gasps ]
**
Thanks, Wheeler.
Hey, thank
the tree of life.
Look!
Dr. Blight is weakening!
Not for long.
I have a whole vat
of superpower back at my lab.
You do not have it anymore.
Your computer friend, MAL,
helped us destroy it.
I hate you Planeteers!
You make it harder
and harder
to commit crimes
against the Earth!
And this is one crime
you're gonna pay for.
What are you doing?!
Stop!
We owe you and the Planeteers
so much for stopping Dr. Blight.
And I have learned a lesson.
If we lose the forest,
we lose everything.
But the tree of life
is lost forever.
Not forever, Kwame.
**
Look! A seedling!
Captain Planet:
The power is yours!
I will protect
the seedling, Father,
and someday my
great-great-great-grandchildren
will sit under
the tree of life
and learn its story
and teach their children
to protect the forest.
[ Bird screeches ]
Planeteers:
Go, Planet!
Captain Planet:
The Earth needs more trees.
We can plant new ones,
and we can protect the trees
we already have.
For example...
It takes 17 tall trees
to make one ton of paper.
This way, when you recycle
one ton of paper...
You make sure 17 trees
remain standing.
So recycle
and help save our forests.
All: 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!

I hate you Planeteers!
You make it harder
and harder
to commit crimes
against the Earth!
And this is one crime
you're gonna pay for.
What are you doing?!
Stop!
We owe you and the Planeteers
so much for stopping Dr. Blight.
And I have learned a lesson.
If we lose the forest,
we lose everything.
But the tree of life
is lost forever.
Not forever, Kwame.

Look! A seedling!
Captain Planet:
The power is yours!
I will protect
the seedling, Father,
and someday my
great-great-great-grandchildren
will sit under
the tree of life
and learn its story
and teach their children
to protect the forest.
[ Bird screeches ]
Planeteers:
Go, Planet!
Captain Planet:
The Earth needs more trees.
We can plant new ones,
and we can protect the trees
we already have.
For example...
It takes 17 tall trees
to make one ton of paper.
This way, when you recycle
one ton of paper...
You make sure 17 trees
remain standing.
So recycle
and help save our forests.
All: The power is yours!
Earth!
Fire!
Wind!
Water!
Heart!
All: Go, Planet!
By your powers combined,
I am Captain Planet!
