Captain Planet and the Planeteers (1990–1996): Season 2, Episode 20 - A Twist of Fate - full transcript
Vacationing in Mexico City with the other Planeteers, Wheeler is put off by the many lower-classmen he sees. But when an earthquake strikes, they go north to Santa Teresa to rescue victims - and during an aftershock, Wheeler is knocked on the head by stone and, found and rescued by a couple moving to the city, awakens to find that he has amnesia. He hears Ma-Ti calling to him in his head but doesn't know his voice, so is suspected to be mad and flees the hospital he is left at. He falls in with Teresa, a young woman who attempted to be his guide earlier, and learns first-hand what it means to be poor. He has to deal with hunger, attacks from gang-members, and the unkindness of others who don't help them. But when Teresa is caught in a fire, the other Planeteers find it but know that they cannot extinguish it without Captain Planet...and Wheeler must recover in order to remember his friends so he can join them in summoning him and save Teresa.
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!
Gi: And now
back to "Captain Planet."
Gi: Finally, a vacation!
First thing I want to do
is go shopping.
I hear stuff is dirt-cheap here!
[ Sighs ] Trust Wheeler to go
straight to the bottom line.
I'm just gonna take
a look around.
Wheeler!
Kwame: Wait! Wheeler!
Ay, caray!
Y yo necesitaba
ese trabajo.
Great. Nothing
but unemployed people.
Where are
all the bargains?
Postcard, señor?
Best views of the city.
That's nice, but I'd like to see
the city first. Later.
[ Yelling ]
Whew!
At least
tell me your name.
Uh, Wheeler.
Why do you ask?
As your guide,
I need to know your name.
Where you want to go first?
Where do I want to go?
Back where I came from!
You will be lost without me!
Oh!
Sorry. Really sorry.
Did you get anything?
Yeah, I got the creeps!
I never saw
so many poor people.
Why don't they get real jobs
and get off the street?
There is not enough work
in the city for everyone.
Do not be so quick
to judge them, Wheeler.
You have never been poor.
Ma-Ti is right, Wheeler.
Except for a twist of fate,
you might be in the shoes
of that man you stumbled over.
Aw, come on! I'd never let
myself sink that low, Gaia.
[ Rumbling ]
Oh!
Oh!
Okay, okay!
You don't have to get mad!
When I do get mad, you'll know
it, but that wasn't me.
Take a look
on PlanetVision.
An earthquake!
The quake hit hardest
in Santa Theresa,
a small farming village
just north of here.
At least,
it to be a village.
They need help!
Oh, a fire!
Water!
Please help us!
My husband was digging,
and the pit gave in on him!
Earth!
I was afraid
you were hurt.
Gracias, my friends.
But, Paco, our house!
Forget the house, Luisa.
We are lucky we are not hurt.
There are no doctors here.
I want to move to the city.
They have everything --
beautiful houses,
running water,
electricity, schools.
Paco, you have
good farmland.
But they say there's lots of
money and good jobs in the city.
[ Rumbling ]
Oh!
Oh!
An aftershock! This one
is bigger than I can handle.
Hey, anybody in there?!
I better get back
to the others.
Uh! Aah!
I wish you would think
about this, Paco.
Life can be very hard
in the big city.
I will find a good job.
You will see.
Adiós, amigos.
[ Clicks tongue ]
Andale, Roberto.
[ Brays ]
Have you seen Wheeler?
No, Linka, I have not!
Not since
the last aftershock.
I haven't seen him, either.
I have looked everywhere.
I cannot find him.
Let me try. Heart!
I can sense nothing
from Wheeler.
He must be unconscious.
Maybe he's trapped somewhere.
We'd better look.
Paco, look!
That boy is hurt!
He's alive.
Uh!
We don't know this boy,
but he needs a doctor.
Then we'll take him with us
to the hospital in the city.
Uh, who --
Who are you?
Luisa.
And this is Paco.
What's your name?
Um...uh...
I don't know.
I don't remember
who I am!
What's the problem?
He hit his head.
He doesn't remember who he is.
Sounds like a concussion.
Does he have insurance?
I don't know!
Ay, another
charity case.
We have a lot of those.
Take a seat, señor.
I must leave you now,
amigo.
Do not be afraid.
They will take care
of you here.
Adiós.
[ Crying ]
Wind!
Empty!
But he must be here!
He must be somewhere!
Linka, take it easy.
We will find him.
I will try again.
Heart!
Wheeler,
can you hear me?
Wheeler,
can you hear me?
Wheeler!
What?
Who said that?
He is far from here,
surrounded by pain and sickness.
A hospital?
Wheeler!
Who are you?
What do you want?
That one is delirious!
Put the straitjacket
on him!
Uh!
No, thanks, guys.
I don't wear white jackets.
A bit too straight for me.
Uh.
I'm out of here!
Good. I lost them.
Only trouble is,
I'm lost, too.
Lost again, Wheeler?
I told you you'd be
lost without me.
Who are you?
Of course. Why should
a rich turista like you
remember a poor little nobody
like me?
Please, wait.
I'm sorry. I don't remember
anything since I hit my head.
What was it you called me?
Wheeler.
That is a bad wound.
What's your name?
Theresa.
I learned this
at the orphanage.
Hey, you're pretty good
at this.
Ever thought of
becoming a doctor?
Yeah, right.
With no money,
no education?
All I think about is getting
enough food each day.
Speaking of which,
I'm hungry.
And do you have any money?
I guess not.
Then you do need a guide,
or you will not survive.
Come on.
I sense that Wheeler
is somewhere nearby.
Let us try this way.
I am starving, but I don't know
about eating out of a trash can.
You can't afford
to be picky.
This cafe throws away
a lot of good food.
You bums!
Keep away
from our garbage!
You're making
my customers sick!
Watch closely
and do what I do.
Clean your window,
señor?
Clean your window,
señorita?
Gracias!
Hey!
Hey, lady, on a junk heap
like that, smears look good!
You have a lot to learn
about being poor, Wheeler.
At last, we made
enough money to eat.
Yeah. You made
enough money.
Oh, come on, Wheeler.
You'll learn how
to make money and -- Oh!
Give us your money!
Let her go,
meatball!
Boys, teach this little bum
a lesson.
Mmm! Mmm! Mmm!
Linka: And now
back to "Captain Planet."
You guys better back off,
or you're gonna be playing
with fire!
Whoa!
Let's get out
of here!
Oh!
Let's go --
before they come back!
Wheeler has used his ring.
That way!
How does
that ring work?
I don't know.
I just wish it could get us
some food.
Offer that man your ring
for some of his fruit.
Okay.
Hey, mister!
You want to trade
for this ring?
Sorry, amigo. I need money
to stay in business.
Hey! Put that back!
You!
You are with her!
Stop, thief!
These firetraps
ought to be condemned.
Then where would I live?
I guess it beats sleeping
in the park.
Eat hearty.
It was wrong
to steal this, you know.
Of course I know!
But we had no money.
If you're so moral,
don't eat it!
I'm sorry, Theresa.
I never knew life
could be this rough.
Well, now you know.
You were right before.
I did dream
of being a doctor once.
You still can, Theresa.
[ Sighs ] How can you even think
about things like that
when you're hungry?
Oh, Wheeler,
it's just a twist of fate.
Maybe -- Maybe if I'd had
a chance to stay in school.
Aah!
Aah! Oh!
Fire!
Oh, no, Wheeler!
Look at that house!
Look out!
We got to get out of here
fast!
This shack will
burn like paper.
[ Yelling ]
Oh, no!
It's spreading
like crazy!
The whole neighborhood's
going up!
A baby!
[ Baby crying ]
[ Yelling ]
Theresa,
are you all right?
Wheeler!
There's no way out!
I can't get through!
I'll get help!
Hey,
my friend needs help!
She's trapped
on that burning hillside!
You! Ha!
Hey, he's the firebug!
No! I didn't start it!
You got to believe me!
Theresa's back there!
She needs help!
Nice try, kid,
but me and my buddy saw you
torch that car.
You think we're gonna
believe a dirty little thief?
[ Yelling ]
There!
He is near that fire!
I can feel it!
Keep trying
your ring, Ma-Ti.
I got to get help!
Let me through!
Wheeler! Wheeler!
Get out of my head!
Get out! Get out!
He's loco
and a pyromaniac!
Get him!
Aah!
And stay out
of our neighborhood,
you loco gringo!
There's something important
I have to remember.
But what is it?
Oh!
Oh!
Amigo, if I were you,
I would start wearing a helmet.
Do I know you?
It's me -- Paco!
I waited here all day,
but there are no jobs.
Come. Luisa has been
worried about you.
The whole neighborhood
is ablaze!
We must help them stop
this fire!
Water!
No good! This water's
too polluted for my ring!
Then I will try to smother
the fire with Earth!
The ground
must also be polluted.
Let me try!
No, Linka! Wind might
spread the fire even more!
Heart!
There is a girl
trapped way up there.
And we must help her,
quickly!
We need
Captain Planet.
Only we can't call him
without Wheeler!
Paco: [ Coughing ]
Luisa,
look who I found!
Welcome to
our beautiful home
in the city.
Paco and I aren't used
to such filthy air.
It hurts our lungs.
The children are
asleep already?
They got sick from drinking
the water in the ditch.
Now we must boil it.
[ Coughing ]
Luisa, we were wrong.
There are no jobs for us,
no decent home.
We were better off
in our village.
No shoes, amigo?
Well, at least I found
something you can use.
They took away that man
who slept in the park.
They said he would not need
these anymore.
But I think they will fit
our unlucky young friend.
Gaia:
Except for a twist of fate,
you might be in the shoes
of that man you stumbled over.
Wheeler: Oh, come on.
I'd never let myself sink
that low, Gaia.
Gaia!
I remember now!
I'm a Planeteer!
And Theresa --
she's stuck in that fire!
I've got to help!
Amigo, wait!
We will help you!
Andale, muchachos!
That poor girl
does not have much time.
Oh, Wheeler,
where are you?
Right behind you,
beautiful!
Wheeler!
Where have you been?
I walked a lot of miles
in someone else's shoes.
What?
I'll tell you
all about it later.
But first we got to put out
that fire
and save the girl
who saved my life.
[ Coughing ]
Goodbye, Wheeler!
It's time to let
our powers combine!
Earth!
Fire!
Wind!
Water!
Heart!
By your powers combined,
I am Captain Planet!
Go, Planet!
It's a hot time
in the old town tonight.
You've got to save Theresa, Cap!
She's in a real hot spot!
At your service.
Theresa!
Theresa!
Oh!
Now to see about this fire.
Hmm.
No fire hydrants,
no water mains.
Ah! I think I see a way
to beat the heat.
I'm just gonna have to be
this city's main man.
The shower is yours.
The heat is off.
Now to cap that geyser.
Yay!
Yay!
Man: Good luck!
Man, lady plays
some blues, huh?
That's cool, Cap.
There's that girl
and the firebug!
Let's get 'em!
Oh! You want
to see a firebug, huh?
Hey, he can't hold
a candle to me.
Oh!
Boy. You try to give people
what they want.
And you did,
Captain Planet.
Yay!
Yay!
Yay!
Yay!
I'm just happy
to lend a hand,
Planeteers.
But now
the power is yours!
I think you are making
the right decision
to go back
to the land.
We still have no doctor.
If only we had someone
like Theresa in our village.
Well, why don't you
ask her?
Me? Go live with them?
Yes.
Our house is small,
but you'll
always have food to eat.
And what about you people?
We need a mechanic,
a plumber, a teacher.
Our village could
support you all.
We could save our money and send
Theresa to medical school.
Then our village could have
a real doctor!
Hey! The Planeteers
will kick in to that fund!
Right, guys?
Yeah!
I-I can't believe it!
It's like a miracle!
Mmm.
Don't ask me
what's going on.
I had amnesia,
remember?
Planeteers:
Go, Planet!
People are poor
for a lot of different reasons.
So don't judge them until
you've walked in their shoes.
You can help the less fortunate
by donating things they can use.
A big portion of the poor
are children under 12...
Who need blankets,
food, clothing,
and old toys in good condition.
So do your part.
Give usable items
to your local charity.
It's another way
of recycling.
The power is yours!
Wheeler: We'll be right back
with more Planeteer action.
Planeteers: We're back!
Go, Planet!
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!

Aah!

There's something important

Gaia!
I remember now!
I'm a Planeteer!
And Theresa --
she's stuck in that fire!
I've got to help!
Amigo, wait!
We will help you!
Andale, muchachos!
That poor girl
does not have much time.
Oh, Wheeler,
where are you?
Right behind you,
beautiful!
Wheeler!
Where have you been?
I walked a lot of miles
in someone else's shoes.
What?
I'll tell you
all about it later.
But first we got to put out
that fire
and save the girl
who saved my life.
[ Coughing ]
Goodbye, Wheeler!
It's time to let
our powers combine!
Earth!
Fire!
Wind!
Water!
Heart!
By your powers combined,
I am Captain Planet!
Go, Planet!
It's a hot time
in the old town tonight.
You've got to save Theresa, Cap!
She's in a real hot spot!
At your service.
Theresa!
Theresa!
Oh!
Now to see about this fire.
Hmm.
No fire hydrants,
no water mains.
Ah! I think I see a way
to beat the heat.
I'm just gonna have to be
this city's main man.
The shower is yours.
The heat is off.
Now to cap that geyser.
Yay!
Yay!
Man: Good luck!
Man, lady plays
some blues, huh?
That's cool, Cap.
There's that girl
and the firebug!
Let's get 'em!
Oh! You want
to see a firebug, huh?
Hey, he can't hold
a candle to me.
Oh!
Boy. You try to give people
what they want.
And you did,
Captain Planet.
Yay!
Yay!
Yay!
Yay!
I'm just happy
to lend a hand,
Planeteers.
But now
the power is yours!
I think you are making
the right decision
to go back
to the land.
We still have no doctor.
If only we had someone
like Theresa in our village.
Well, why don't you
ask her?
Me? Go live with them?
Yes.
Our house is small,
but you'll
always have food to eat.
And what about you people?
We need a mechanic,
a plumber, a teacher.
Our village could
support you all.
We could save our money and send
Theresa to medical school.
Then our village could have
a real doctor!
Hey! The Planeteers
will kick in to that fund!
Right, guys?
Yeah!
I-I can't believe it!
It's like a miracle!
Mmm.
Don't ask me
what's going on.
I had amnesia,
remember?
Planeteers:
Go, Planet!
People are poor
for a lot of different reasons.
So don't judge them until
you've walked in their shoes.
You can help the less fortunate
by donating things they can use.
A big portion of the poor
are children under 12...
Who need blankets,
food, clothing,
and old toys in good condition.
So do your part.
Give usable items
to your local charity.
It's another way
of recycling.
The power is yours!
Wheeler: We'll be right back
with more Planeteer action.
Planeteers: We're back!
Go, Planet!
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!
