Captain Planet and the Planeteers (1990–1996): Season 2, Episode 21 - The Great Tree Heist - full transcript
Hoggish Greedly uses a large machine to uproot trees from the ground and grind them at the same time so he can have a quick, easy supply of wood to sell furniture. The Planeteers arrive to see what is causing the destruction of forests that is believed to be a "flying saucer", with the help of Jenny, a local teen birdwatcher whom Wheeler finds attractive. They must fight Greedly's machine causing destruction for themselves and others...and they may have to do it alone, since when Captain Planet is caught and injured in the grinder while rescuing a nest of birds, he returns his powers to the Planeteers' rings, and does not come back when they try to call him.
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!

How are you doing today,
my fine feathered friends?
Your first solo --
come on, you can do it!
[ Birds chirping ]
[ Saucer flies overhead ]
Huh?
What's that?
[ Gasps ] Whoa!
[ Mechanical whirring ]
[ Sawing ]
Oh, no! Aah! Ugh!
What's going on?
Gaia: Hurry, Planeteers.
We've got an eco-emergency.
What is that?
That used to be a park.
Juniperville's pride and joy.
Weird. Looks like something
out of a science-fiction movie.
What could have
done this?
I don't know.
But if it destroys
this old-growth forest,
all kinds of plants and animals
will be lost forever.
Then, come on!
Let us brook!
[ Chuckles ]
I think you mean "book."
Let's book!
Brook, book. Whatever.
Let us move!
Come on!
Get the iron out!
[ Birds chirping ]
Oh, poor babies.
[ Geo-Cruiser approaches ]
[ Gasps ]
[ Engine shuts off ]
Whoa!
Uh, I think
I'll check out the locals.
Maybe she saw something.
Hi. Hey,
what do you got there?
Krebland's warblers.
They're
an endangered species.
I've been watching the nest
for months.
Oh, yeah?
Are you into bird-watching?
Yeah. You?
Yeah!
Well, I do a little.
Uh...
Oh,
they're so beautiful!
Winging it,
huh, Wheeler?
Hey, a guy's
got to have hobbies.
And, uh, hanging around Linka
has given me a new appreciation
for bird-watching.
Hmm. Somehow,
I do not think it is the birds
you are interested in.
What happened here?
Did you see anything?
It happened so fast.
This dark shadow came over,
and everything started to shake.
Hmm.
Hey!
What are you doing?
Isn't this place
bare enough as it is?
Will you look?
This hole looks like the ones
left by the trees.
So?
So the trees
must have been plucked
from straight above.
Aah!
Watch out!
[ Chuckles ] I do not think
we are in immediate danger.
I-I-I guess I'm more nervous
than I thought.
Hey, I'd be scared, too.
[ Chuckles ]
Da. I bet.
Listen, let's split up
and check out the area.
But keep one eye
on the sky.
Hey, how about we go back
to the scene of the crime?
Sure! I need to find
a new home for these birds.
Come on, Linka,
you go with me.
Ohh.
Linka?
Oh! Look at him!
He is being [speaks Russian]
an idiot over this...girl.
Hmm. Maybe it is not
just Wheeler
who is acting
a little foolish.
Boys!
What do you know?
Huh!
Hey!
Wait for me!
[ Birds chirp ]
Wait! [ Grunts ]
There!
Good as new.
Thanks, Wheeler.
But what happens
if the thing comes back?
Uh...no sweat.
You know, whatever it is,
we'll, uh, take care of it.
I'm so glad you're here.
You can help me find out
what's taking the trees.
Trees...
Oh, yeah, uh, trees.
[ Dog barking ]
[ Squirrels chittering ]
Aw!
[ Both laugh ]
I think I will get
a better look.
[ Birds chirping ]
[ Chittering continues ]
[ Rumbling ]
[ Saucer flies overhead ]
[ Gasps ] Bozhe moi!
Earthquake!
[ Mechanical whirring ]
Aah!
[ Sawing ]
[ Speaks Russian ]
Kwame!
Watch out for the flying saucer
alien monster!
It is no alien, Linka.
But it is a monster!
Hoggish Greedly!
Pinch me, Rigger. I think I've
died and gone to hog heaven.
O-O-Okay.
Ow!
You puny polecat!
What do you think
you're doing?
But, boss, you said --
Just shut up
and listen!
They're playing our song.
Chew, baby, chew!
Yeah! Okay, Rigger,
let's get the next one.
[ Snorts ]
Right, boss.
Huh?
Uh-oh!
Look, boss!
A planet-punk!
Just when things
were going so well.
Yep, yep!
Let's take him down
a peg or two.
Whoa!
Aah!
Aah!
Linka!
Wind!
Help!
[ Sighs ]
Thank you, Linka.
It is good to get my feet
back on solid ground.
[ Sawing ]
Uh-oh. I think
I spoke too soon.
Aah!
Aah!
Quickly!
We must warn the others.
And then
Greedly's tree-eater
chewed up a 500-year-old tree
in less than a minute.
Da! But we have no idea
what they were up to
or where they were going.
I think I can tell you.
The were
is right over there.
Jenny:
The old furniture factory?
Everybody says
the trouble started
after some mysterious new owner
took it over.
Greedly!
He has been churning out molded
wood chip furniture ever since.
All our beautiful trees
are being turned into
cheap furniture?
Don't worry, Jenny.
We'll stop that little piggy
before he gets to market.
[ Saucer approaching ]
[ Gasps ] That noise!
There he is!
[ Mechanical whirring ]
**
[ Munching ]
Only the finest
aged hardwood
goes into
my beautiful furniture.
Right, Rigger?
Yep, yep, yep!
[ Munching ]
What a horrible waste.
But if we can knock his
tree-eater out of commission,
Greedly will be grounded.
Yo, let's do it!
Look at what is happening
to all those lovely trees.
[ Mixer whirring ]
**
[ Mechanical whirring ]
[ Squirt! ]
[ Sprayer hissing ]
Linka: He is turning trees
into that?
How revolting!
Hey, that's just the kind of guy
he is.
We got to turn this pig porker's
plans belly-up.
Water!
**
Wind!
**
Time for a little hotfoot.
Fire!
Ooh! Ouch! Ouch! Ouch!
Ow! Oh! Ow!
I will
rattle their cage.
Earth!
Aah!
Hey!
Whoa!
Get off me,
lard brain!
What's going on?
Those eco-freaks!
Let's show them what
the tree-trasher can do.
[ Gasps ] Oh, no!
Whoa!
Time to boogie!
Ugh!
[ Kwame grunts ]
[ Laughs ]
Turn on the suction blades,
Rigger!
[ All grunting ]
Aah!
I can't...hold on!
Then...let...
our...powers...combine!
Earth!
Uh...fire!
Wind!
Uh...water!
Heart!
Captain Planet:
By your powers combined,
I am Captain planet!
All: Go, Planet!
I'm gonna burn your bacon,
Greedly!
And your tree-eater is headed
for the recycling center!
[ Inhales deeply ]
[ Blows ]
Greedly: Whoa!
Rigger: Whoa!
Aah!
Aah!
There you go.
Rigger: Help,
Mr. Greedly-y-y-y!
Sit down,
you lily-livered lummox!
You know what the great thing
about cutting down trees is?
No, boss!
Maybe sometime
you could tell me!
Ugh!
All the loose dirt
it leaves behind.
Go for high spin,
Rigger!
Ain't we spinnin'
fast enough already?
High spin!
Okay, cut the engines.
Look out!
Run!
Don't worry.
I got it.
[ Laughs, snorts ]
That ought to
keep them busy!
Come on, Rigger,
let's make some more!
High spin!
Run!
Give me a minute.
And I'll turn this twister
into a lot of hot air!
[ Wind howling ]
Look! More of them!
Wheeler: They're gonna
level the town!
Wheeler, that twister is
going to hit those children!
Come on!
Take the shortcut!
[ Breathing heavily ]
Faster, Ma-Ti!
We got to make it!
Aah!
What's happening?
It's catching up!
I'll slow
this sucker down!
[ Wind howling ]
Aah!
Over here!
[ Breathing heavily ]
Oh, Wheeler,
that was so brave.
Both of you.
Uh, yeah, but the real hero
is Captain Planet.
Look at him go!
[ All cheering ]
Oh, no!
Hey!
The birds!
Greedly's gonna get them!
[ Wind rushing ]
Jenny, no!
It's too dangerous!
But my birds!
They'll be killed!
Let go!
Jenny!
[ Grunting ]
[ Birds squawking ]
Aah!
We've got to save her!
The Geo-Cruiser!
Come on!
Help!
Boy,
this is a tough one!
**
Hurry!
Quick, Jenny, jump!
Aah!
Jenny,
you must jump!
Uh...
I-It's too far!
[ Sawing ]
Forget it, Greedly!
Your tree-trimming days
are over!
Ditch the tree!
Let's get out of here!
Wheeler:
It's coming right at us!
Come on!
Move it, Gi!
Fast!
Guess it's time
to branch out.
[ Grunts ]
Way to go, Cap!
Thanks, Captain Planet.
My pleasure.
After all, it's my job
to get to the root
of the problem.
High spin, Rigger!
[ Sawing ]
[ Grunts ]
[ Laughs ]
Bye-bye,
Captain Planthead.
[ Screaming ]
Captain Planet!
Aah!
Ma-Ti!
What is it?
The pain!
So much pain!
Look! My ring!
We must bring
Captain Planet back!
Let our powers combine!
Earth!
Fire!
Wind!
Water!
Heart!
Does this mean...
Is he...gone?
No way. Cap's okay!
He's got to be.
[ Cries ]
Oh!
This is no time for tears.
We must shut down
Greedly's operation!
Yeah!
Let's do it for Cap!
He would want it that way.
Maybe we should show Greedly
what happens
when you clear cut
a forest.
I get it. There's a river
right above the factory.
Da! Water erosion
can do terrible things.
Let's simply speed up
the natural process
and show Greedly what the next
good rain will bring.
Water!
Wind!
**
Jenny: Wow!
It doesn't take much, does it?
Not after clear cutting.
Uh...whoa!
Here's mud in your eye,
Greedly!
Oh, no!
He's getting away!
Watch out!
Here he comes!
You'll pay for this,
eco-geeks!
This time, you can't call
Captain Planet!
Tough luck,
eco-saplings!
This time,
there's no getting away!
Full suction, Rigger!
Here it comes, boss!
Yep, yep, yep!
[ Mechanical whirring ]
Linka: More power, Gi!
Gi: I'm flooring it!
Oh, no!
The motor's gonna burn out!
We need Captain Planet!
But, Ma-Ti, he's gone!
We must try!
Then
let our powers combine!
Earth!
Wheeler: Fire!
Linka: Wind!
Gi: Water!
Heart!
Captain Planet:
By your powers combined,
I am Captain planet!
[ All screaming ]
[ Grunts ]
Looks like you need
a booster!
[ Grunts ]
[ All cheer ]
All right!
[ Tires squeal ]
[ Grunts ]
[ Coughs ]
Captain Planet,
you're okay!
We were afraid...
[ Chuckles ]
Me, too, Planeteers.
I'm not back
to full strength yet.
But don't worry.
I can still heed Greedly
a merry chase.
Captain Planet,
you can do better than that.
There's a petrified forest
over there.
That ought to fix that sap.
[ Laughs ]
Very smart, Jenny.
Uh, petrified forest?
I don't get it.
Come on, Greedly.
I don't want to
"leaf" you behind.
This time, I'll make sure
Captain Do-Gooder
is chopper fodder!
Turn the blades
to extra fine!
Okay, boss. Here goes!
**
This time, Greedly,
you're barking
up the wrong tree.
We lost him, boss!
No, we didn't!
There he is leaning
against that tree.
Let's mow him down.
[ Wind rushing ]
[ Chuckles ]
Looks like your tree-eater
bit off more than it can chew,
eh, Greedly?
Aah!
Aah!
Whoa!
Whoa!
Ooh!
[ Grunts ]
Uh-oh!
[ Thud ]
Oh!
Thanks, Greedly.
Now, what am I gonna
do with this thing?
Hey! I've got it!
Kwame: Captain Planet
did a nice job.
That is what I call recycling!
[ Bird chirping ]
Have you ever seen
a spotted owl?
Da, I have.
Have you ever seen a bald eagle?
Once.
It was awesome!
The wingspan
was enormous!
Aw, there you are,
my friends.
Your mama will be back soon
with dinner.
So, Jenny,
what if we, uh...
How is bird-watching
in Russia?
Uh, Jenny? Linka?
Oh, it's great,
but not so different from here.
I remember one time...
Oh, man!
Look!
[ Bird chips ]
He's gonna fly!
Oh, no!
[ All cheer ]
Planeteers: Go, Planet!
Trees help clean our air
by absorbing greenhouse gases
like carbon dioxide.
But the world's old-growth
forests are being cut down.
This clear cutting
threatens animals and plants
that depend on these tress
for their survival.
Linka: And without trees,
topsoil washes away,
making it harder
for the land to recover.
Thousands of old-growth trees
are cut down every day.
What can you do?
Plant trees!
And ask your parents to help you
write a letter
to your head of state
saying you're against
cutting down old-growth forests.
Remember, the power is yours!
Planeteers: Go, planet!
They are cutting down
more rain forests,
Captain Planet.
Captain Planet:
The world's rain forests
are being destroyed
at the rate of a football field
a second.
Gi:
What can we do about it?
Don't use paper products
that are only used once
and thrown away.
You can recycle newspapers
so that new trees won't have to
be cut down to make wood pulp.
And stand beside the people who
are standing up for our forests.
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!

Is he...gone?
No way. Cap's okay!
He's got to be.
[ Cries ]
Oh!
This is no time for tears.
We must shut down
Greedly's operation!
Yeah!
Let's do it for Cap!
He would want it that way.
Maybe we should show Greedly
what happens
when you clear cut
a forest.
I get it. There's a river
right above the factory.
Da! Water erosion
can do terrible things.
Let's simply speed up
the natural process
and show Greedly what the next
good rain will bring.
Water!
Wind!
**
Jenny: Wow!
It doesn't take much, does it?
Not after clear cutting.
Uh...whoa!
Here's mud in your eye,
Greedly!
Oh, no!
He's getting away!
Watch out!
Here he comes!
You'll pay for this,
eco-geeks!
This time, you can't call
Captain Planet!
Tough luck,
eco-saplings!
This time,
there's no getting away!
Full suction, Rigger!
Here it comes, boss!
Yep, yep, yep!
[ Mechanical whirring ]
Linka: More power, Gi!
Gi: I'm flooring it!
Oh, no!
The motor's gonna burn out!
We need Captain Planet!
But, Ma-Ti, he's gone!
We must try!
Then
let our powers combine!
Earth!
Wheeler: Fire!
Linka: Wind!
Gi: Water!
Heart!
Captain Planet:
By your powers combined,
I am Captain planet!
[ All screaming ]
[ Grunts ]
Looks like you need
a booster!
[ Grunts ]
[ All cheer ]
All right!
[ Tires squeal ]
[ Grunts ]
[ Coughs ]
Captain Planet,
you're okay!
We were afraid...
[ Chuckles ]
Me, too, Planeteers.
I'm not back
to full strength yet.
But don't worry.
I can still heed Greedly
a merry chase.
Captain Planet,
you can do better than that.
There's a petrified forest
over there.
That ought to fix that sap.
[ Laughs ]
Very smart, Jenny.
Uh, petrified forest?
I don't get it.
Come on, Greedly.
I don't want to
"leaf" you behind.
This time, I'll make sure
Captain Do-Gooder
is chopper fodder!
Turn the blades
to extra fine!
Okay, boss. Here goes!
**
This time, Greedly,
you're barking
up the wrong tree.
We lost him, boss!
No, we didn't!
There he is leaning
against that tree.
Let's mow him down.
[ Wind rushing ]
[ Chuckles ]
Looks like your tree-eater
bit off more than it can chew,
eh, Greedly?
Aah!
Aah!
Whoa!
Whoa!
Ooh!
[ Grunts ]
Uh-oh!
[ Thud ]
Oh!
Thanks, Greedly.
Now, what am I gonna
do with this thing?
Hey! I've got it!
Kwame: Captain Planet
did a nice job.
That is what I call recycling!
[ Bird chirping ]
Have you ever seen
a spotted owl?
Da, I have.
Have you ever seen a bald eagle?
Once.
It was awesome!
The wingspan
was enormous!
Aw, there you are,
my friends.
Your mama will be back soon
with dinner.
So, Jenny,
what if we, uh...
How is bird-watching
in Russia?
Uh, Jenny? Linka?
Oh, it's great,
but not so different from here.
I remember one time...
Oh, man!
Look!
[ Bird chips ]
He's gonna fly!
Oh, no!
[ All cheer ]
Planeteers: Go, Planet!
Trees help clean our air
by absorbing greenhouse gases
like carbon dioxide.
But the world's old-growth
forests are being cut down.
This clear cutting
threatens animals and plants
that depend on these tress
for their survival.
Linka: And without trees,
topsoil washes away,
making it harder
for the land to recover.
Thousands of old-growth trees
are cut down every day.
What can you do?
Plant trees!
And ask your parents to help you
write a letter
to your head of state
saying you're against
cutting down old-growth forests.
Remember, the power is yours!
Planeteers: Go, planet!
They are cutting down
more rain forests,
Captain Planet.
Captain Planet:
The world's rain forests
are being destroyed
at the rate of a football field
a second.
Gi:
What can we do about it?
Don't use paper products
that are only used once
and thrown away.
You can recycle newspapers
so that new trees won't have to
be cut down to make wood pulp.
And stand beside the people who
are standing up for our forests.
The power is yours!
Earth!
Fire!
Wind!
Water!
Heart!
All: Go, Planet!
By your powers combined,
I am Captain Planet!
