Captain Planet and the Planeteers (1990–1996): Season 2, Episode 18 - Summit to Save Earth: Part 2 - 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!
Kwame:
In our last episode,
the Planeteers arrived
at the Earth's Summit,
where world leaders were meeting
to save the Earth
from environmental disaster.
Linka: But then Gaia's ancient
arch rival was also there,
along with Dr. Blight
and the rest of
the Eco-Villains.
Wheeler:
Zarm had a bogus new machine
that created holographic
replacements of the delegates
so he could wreck the Summit.
Gi: We tried to stop him,
but Zarm tricked us
into giving up our rings.
Ma-Ti: Gaia came to our rescue
and had Zarm on the run.
Wheeler: But Zarm used us as
bait to trick and defeat Gaia.
What have you done
to Gaia?
Gaia is simply starting
to show her true age.
What is it, Gaia, 5,
6 billion years old?
Find Clash.
-What's she saying?
-[ Gasps ]
Get away from her!
[ All scream ]
Gaia: Aah!
[ Kwame gasps ]
Gaia.
Do not worry, Gaia.
We'll get you out of there.
How very touching,
but I should warn you.
As Gaia is destroyed,
so is your paltry
little planet.
What do you think
of this planet, punks?
[ People screaming ]
My village!
Most of the rainforest
is finally gone.
I have to hand it
to them, though.
They held out for years.
Years? What are you
talking about?
When I cracked Gaia's crystal,
we entered her time field.
And, oh, it's too complex
for you to comprehend.
But every minute
that passes in this ship
is like a month outside.
It's been 10 years
since your Earth Summit failed.
Want to see what
we've been up to?
-This is unbelievable.
-Ugh.
Wheeler: Niagara Falls?
Wouldn't advise
taking a boat ride.
Rather dangerous these days.
What is this?
There is nothing to see.
Pick a city.
Tokyo? Istanbul?
Hard to say
with this much smog.
It's Paris. Look!
Some birds!
[ Bird squawks ]
Oops.
You get the picture.
Your planet's
a real stink hole.
What do you think?
It's horrible.
But we'll find
a way to stop you.
Be my guest.
Well, go on.
There's nothing you can do
to save Earth now anyway.
Oh, just to give you
something to think about.
-Oh!
-Gaia!
-No!
-Leave her alone!
Now I will accelerate
the change.
In 24 hours,
she'll be nothing but dust.
Enjoy your planet,
pesk-eteers.
[ Laughing evilly ]
[ All screaming ]
Oh, no.
What has happened?
Oo-Zhuss!
This is horrible.
Rio has become
one big garbage dump.
Ma-Ti: Suchi, look at you.
You poor thing.
This is terrible.
Is there nothing
we can do to stop Zarm?
Gaia said to find
Commander Clash.
Clash!
That's a great idea.
Let's go.
-Yeah.
Well, first we have
to find the Geo-Cruiser.
Oh, ah, ah!
-You okay?
-Yeah.
Look at this,
the United Nations flag.
What is that over there?
Linka: The Earth Summit
assembly hall.
Gi: If the hall is there
and the flags are here,
the Geo-Cruiser
must be down there.
Come on!
[ All yelling ]
Linka: We found it!
Now let's hope
we can make it work.
If we squeeze 500 condos
on that old toxic-waste
dump site,
we'll make
$10 billion each.
That's all?
[ Both laugh ]
[ Whistle blows ]
Yeah.
[ Snorting ]
Pork rinds and pigs feet,
I've got it!
We'll hike up the price
because of the ocean view.
And what a view it is.
[ Both laugh ]
What?
Clash: Forget it, punks.
You're not turning this
ocean into a toxic sewer.
Too late, Clash,
you near-sighted nincompoop.
It's already a sewer.
And we're gonna
flush it down
with the rest
of the toxic waste.
You can try.
Come on.
Let's give 'em a taste
of their own waste.
-There he is!
-It's about time.
Gaia has only
12 hours left.
Whoa!
Clash: Took care
of that garbage.
Now for the big stuff.
Get the toxic
truck up here, now.
This will burn his bacon.
Yo! Mayday. Mayday!
Oh!
Okay.
Now the crane.
Swim for it,
little buddy. Ah.
Aah!
Adios,
Commander Clash.
Huh?
Aw, thanks.
Planet punks?
I haven't seen them
in years.
That really curls
my tail.
I can't believe it.
I thought you guys
were history.
Gi:
We were in Zarm's ship.
He's got Gaia.
But she only has
a few hours left to live.
You have to help us save her,
Commander Clash!
I couldn't stop
Greedly and Sludge.
I don't know how much good
I can be against Zarm.
But I'll give it my best shot.
I knew you would help us,
Commander Clash!
Lots of guards.
Without our rings,
we will never get past them.
What can we do?
Just got to think.
Garbage?
Mm-hmm.
Garbage.
When I do this,
trash Zarm's ship.
Keep the guards busy.
I'll do the rest.
Everybody in position.
Okay.
-Oh, look out!
-Let's get out of here!
-Run away!
-Aah!
Clash.
Time to pay Zarm
a little social call.
Fire!
Perfect.
Just where I want you.
-Not for long.
-Ugh!
Gotcha.
Fool, this chair
won't hold me for long.
Long enough.
Gaia, you should really
watch the company you keep.
Watch out.
What?
Watch out.
[ Speaks indistinctly ]
Ah!
[ Groaning ]
[ Groaning continues ]
Clash! Quick.
We have to help him.
Look!
-Sorry, Clash.
-Ugh.
But your luck just ran out.
Clash, get up.
[ Groans ]
Ah.
No!
No!
Ugh.
[ Laughing ]
That's right. Run.
Oh, poor Gaia.
Too bad you can't
run with them, eh?
It looks like
your last gasp.
You saved my life again.
Thanks.
Now, come on.
-Where are we going?
-Ugh, back to my island.
We can survive
the pollution there.
But what about Gaia?
She'll turn to dust!
You saw what happened.
I tried.
And I failed.
We will try again.
We will think
of a new plan.
We must!
Face it.
Zarm won.
No way!
We will stay to the end.
I wish you would
come with me.
But if you must stay,
good luck.
-Aah!
-Look out!
[ Gasps ]
Ma-Ti!
Take them to my ship, now.
You plague me.
I will not tolerate this.
But what to do
with you, hmm?
I have some
genetic experiments
I'd like to try.
No way!
I could make life
hot for them. Kaboom!
Just try it, pal.
I know.
Since you're all
so eager to fight,
I'll give you a chance.
-All right!
-Okay!
-Yes!
-Oh!
We are ready!
Huh?
Well, don't just
stand there, hot stuff.
Burn your way out.
Fire.
Aah!
You lose.
Aah! What?
Wait a minute!
Let's see
if you can do better.
Wind.
[ All yell ]
Get off me,
you clumsy oafs.
Wind.
Aah!
Oh.
Oh, well.
Who's next?
Earth.
Oh!
Hey, Zarm.
If they're after you,
how come we're taking
the pounding?
Ugh.
Your turn, my dear.
[ Yawns ]
Try to do something original.
We aim to please.
Water.
Ahh.
Not bad.
But you're the one
who's all wet.
Aah!
And now,
my little friend,
last and also least.
A mean,
pointless game, Zarm,
as mean and as pointless
as your destruction of Earth.
Not completely pointless, Gaia.
It's your last chance to see
your Planeteers in action.
Savor it because, in moments,
you'll be nothing but dust.
-No!
-No!
Well?
Do something.
I cannot stop you, Zarm.
My ring
is the power of heart,
which allows us to love,
heart to care for
our planet and friends.
My ring
will not touch you
because
you have no heart.
[ Laughing ]
You fool.
It's heart
that makes you weak.
So prepare yourself,
weakling.
Please, Zarm.
Out of the way, kid.
This one's mine.
Aah!
Clash,
look at Gaia.
She only
has seconds left!
Next order
of business, Ma-Ti.
No!
Aah.
The force field's gone.
-Are you all right, Gaia?
-Gaia!
Ahh, fresh air.
Now, that feels better.
Zarm:
Not for long, Gaia.
I'll cover you.
Quick, get out of here.
-Aah!
-Go.
[ All talking at once ]
Hurry, Planeteers.
Clash needs your help.
Then let
our powers combine.
Earth.
My ring.
Zarm destroyed it.
-Fire.
-Wind.
-Water.
-Heart.
Our rings do not work.
Planeteers, the rings
are not the source
of your power.
The real power to save Earth
comes from within, inside you.
It always has.
[ Zarm laughing ]
You're finished, Clash.
[ Grunts ]
Now it's your turn,
Planeteers.
Quickly, Planeteers.
The power is yours.
I'll take care of Zarm.
[ Birds squawking ]
Get away.
Get away!
Hurry, Planeteers.
Ah, get off me!
Power of heart.
Heart.
Heart!
Planeteers,
let our powers combine.
Earth.
-Fire.
-Wind.
-Water.
Heart.
By your powers combined,
I am Captain Planet!
All: Go, Planet!
Get away, vermin.
Captain Planet:
You're the vermin, Zarm.
No. Vermin's too good
for you. You're trash.
And this is one time
I'm not recycling.
[ Inhales deeply ]
-Mm-mm.
-Well, it was touch and go.
But you all came through.
Speaking of touch
and go, I'm touched.
It's time for Zarm
to go.
But first, I think
I'll pack Zarm a little lunch.
Ah, no!
Talk about
the perfect trash compactor.
Now for a brief game
of kick the can.
-All right.
-Way to go.
Keep your guard up,
Planeteers.
That planet wrecker
will be back.
Right now it looks like we need
to turn the clock back
and get the Earth Summit
back on track.
Gaia?
-With pleasure.
[ Laughs ] Suchi!
[ Groans ]
Clash, we won!
Just round one, kid.
The fight to save
the planet is still ahead.
Well, aren't you a sight
for sore eyes?
Why, thank you, Clash.
But there's no rest
for the weary.
Planeteers, the Earth Summit
is about to begin.
Come on, guys.
This is one meeting
I wouldn't miss for the world.
Me neither.
Go for it, Planeteers.
The power is yours!
Man: Some people say
our planet's problems
are hopeless.
But as we gather here today,
leaders from every continent,
every race, every nation,
I say we can join together
and make Earth a clean,
healthy place,
a planet that we can proudly
leave to our children
and our children's children.
And the time to start is now.
The power is ours!
Go, Presidente!
[ All cheering ]
-Bravissimo.
-Yes.
We will make it happen.
All: Go, Planet!
Captain Planet:
Each of us must do what we can
to save our planet.
Sometimes this means
taking a little time
to show we really care.
Kwame: Recycling
and conserving resources
are all very important.
But we must also
let our leaders know
that we want our governments
to protect the Earth, too.
So paint or draw
a leaf on a postcard
and send it
to your head of state.
We will be heard.
The power is yours!
All: Go, Planet!
We all wonder what effect
each of us has on the future.
Every person can set
an example for bad...
...or for good.
Linka: Together, with each of us
setting good examples...
Ma-Ti:
We can save the planet.
And protect the future.
Captain Planet:
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!

let our leaders know
that we want our governments
to protect the Earth, too.
So paint or draw
a leaf on a postcard
and send it
to your head of state.
We will be heard.
The power is yours!
All: Go, Planet!
We all wonder what effect
each of us has on the future.
Every person can set
an example for bad...
...or for good.
Linka: Together, with each of us
setting good examples...
Ma-Ti:
We can save the planet.
And protect the future.
Captain Planet:
The power is yours!
Earth!
Fire!
Wind!
Water!
Heart!
All: Go, Planet!
By your powers combined,
I am Captain Planet!
