Captain Planet and the Planeteers (1990–1996): Season 2, Episode 24 - Radiant Amazon - 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!
Hey, Nukem,
we got a problem here.
This part of the forest is
too dense for the
Sludge-O-Matic.
There's no problem.
You know what you call a tree
that grows in my way, Sludge?
Firewood!
Uh-oh.
Ha ha ha!
Ha ha ha!
[ Growls ]
Heads up, Ma-Ti!
Uh!
Hey, Ma-Ti,
are you all right, dude?
No.
Something is wrong.
You're right, Ma-Ti.
We have an eco-emergency.
To the crystal chamber,
Planeteers.
It's a trail
of radioactive waste.
In the rain forest?
Yes.
This waste
is poisoning the forest.
And if it gets into the rivers
and the ground water...
It will destroy
everything.
No! My village!
That is why
my ring was glowing!
We must go!
Wait, Ma-Ti.
There's something else
you should know.
Sly Sludge
and Duke Nukem.
Talk about toxic waste.
They must be stopped!
Let's do it!
Whoa! What's this?
Whoa!
Oof!
Move it, old man,
or I'll give you
a hotfoot!
Hey, easy, big guy.
Why cause trouble?
I'll handle this.
Hey, pal, why would
a nice old guy like you
want to block our way?
You must go back.
You are killing the forest!
What can I say?
That's progress.
Only in your world.
Besides,
they were here first.
What? Bugs?
You're stopping us
for bugs?
You know how I handle
bugs, old-timer?
I stomp them!
Uh! Uh!
Uh! Uh!
Hey! Stop that!
Get off of me!
They're getting
in my suit!
Oh! Ow!
Well, you sure
handled that, Sludge.
Now it's my turn.
Your village
is in my way, old man!
Move it or lose it!
But, hey,
I'm a generous man.
I'm gonna give you time
to think it over.
Time's up!
Ha ha ha!
Ha ha ha!
Oh!
Oh!
Oh!
Roll 'em, Sludge!
The rain forest
is really pretty,
but it all looks
the same to me.
Well, it is not, Wheeler.
It is complex.
There are thousands of plants
and animals.
Each plays a role
in the forest's survival.
Hey, buddy,
I'm on your side.
I am sorry.
I am just upset because I know
what they can do to my village.
Look over there.
You see how that area's
a different shade of green?
Oh, yeah.
Those are our crops
growing among the trees.
We live in harmony
with the forest.
We do not harm it.
Planeteer alert!
Looks like trouble ahead.
Look at
all that smoke!
That is my village!
Hurry, Gi!
We must land!
I'm way ahead of you, Ma-Ti!
Get out of the way, man!
[ People screaming ]
We are too late!
Oh! The toxic waste
is on fire!
That fire could
reach the convoy.
Oh. Like we should worry
about those creeps?
Forget about them!
If the toxic waste
in those trucks
catches fire,
it will contaminate
the entire forest!
Then let
our powers combine.
Earth!
Fire!
Water!
Wind!
Heart!
By your powers combined,
I am Captain Planet!
Go, Planet!
Toxic -- Phtw!
[ Coughs ]
I don't like
what this smoke signals.
A little mud pack
should bring the beauty back.
[ Coughing ]
[ Coughs ]
This secondhand smoke
is a killer.
[ Coughs ]
Boy, smoking
really is bad for your health.
Fire's burnt out, Planeteers,
but [Coughs] so am I.
Captain Planet,
are you all right?
It only hurts
[Coughs] when I cough.
Until next time,
the power is yours!
Enough trailblazing
for one day.
Where do you want
to dump this stuff?
Hey, big guy,
anywhere you say.
I say...right here!
[ Laughs evilly ]
[ Grunting ]
It's -- It's --
It's beautiful!
Ah, this place is beautiful!
It just needed
my personal touch
to give it
that special glow.
Argh!
That's enough for tonight.
I'm going to take a dip.
Want to join me,
Sludge?
Uh, I'll take a pass, big guy,
but, hey, enjoy yourself.
Oh!
It doesn't get
any better than this!
[ People chanting ]
Yeah.
Get some rest, Ma-Ti.
They're not
going anywhere.
We'll find them
in the morning.
Perhaps
you are right.
I, uh -- I'm going to speak
to the shaman
before I go to bed.
[ Chanting continues ]
[ Suchi chittering ]
They do not understand,
Suchi.
Once the forest is gone,
it is gone forever.
We will stop them now.
Ah!
Do not be afraid, Suchi.
The jaguar
will not hurt you.
This is our chance,
Suchi.
First we wrap up Sludge.
Then we get Nukem.
Wh-- Hey!
What's going on?
Let me out!
No, Mr. Sludge.
You will stay here
while I take care of Nukem.
Sounds like somebody's
looking for trouble.
Well, you found it, kid.
[ Laughs evilly ]
Heart!
Planeteers, I need --
Oh, no, you don't.
We're having
sun fun now.
Ha ha ha!
[ Chittering ]
[ Screeching ]
[ Growls ]
Dumb animal.
[ Growls ]
Hey, Sludge! Are you
gonna stay in bed all day?
Huh? Ugh!
Now get the lead out
and make yourself useful!
Get his ring!
No! Heart!
Ma-Ti!
Ma-Ti's in trouble!
His hammock's empty.
[ Laughing evilly ]
[ Gasps ]
And now...
[ Laughs evilly ]
...I'm an honorary
punkateer.
[ Laughs evilly ]
[ Sighs ]
I think I'll just make sure
our little friend here
doesn't cause
any more trouble.
Oh, no!
[ Laughing evilly ]
Ah!
[ Laughing continues ]
[ Growls ]
Wheeler: Shaman! Shaman!
Shaman, I think
Ma-Ti's in trouble.
Yes, he is
in trouble,
but I've been keeping
an eye on him.
We've got to save Ma-Ti!
Rev up the Geo-Cruiser!
I'll --
No. We must go
on foot.
There will be
no surprise
if we use
your flying machine.
I will lead you.
[ Squawks ]
I thought you said
it was not far.
Any journey
where you do not
spend the night
is very close.
My dogs
are howling!
Great. And I didn't
bring any water.
The forest provides.
Unh!
Unh!
Unh!
What are they doing?
Wasting time.
We need water, not wood!
Drink.
What?
That's the best water
I've ever had.
Now we must go.
Another couple hours,
and it'll be all dumped.
I'm gonna make this place
into a paradise
fit for a king --
or, better yet,
a duke!
Ha ha ha!
Look! There is Ma-Ti!
How are we gonna
get him?
First, we need to
get rid of Nukem.
If we could just lock
Nukem in Sludge's truck.
Look at it!
That thing has got to be
made of solid lead!
All right, Kwame.
Great idea!
What do we do
about the eco-brat?
Leave him.
Sooner or later,
the others will show up,
and when they do,
they're mine!
Fire!
All right!
Ah! Diesel!
A tasty aroma!
Oh! Ah!
Hey, slimeball!
Yeow! So you want
to play, huh?
Unh!
Unh!
Is that the best
you can do, dirtbag?
Whoa!
Move it!
Here he comes!
Kwame:
I hope Wheeler
does not push
Nukem too far.
Ha! Count on it.
Get ready!
Time for meltdown, punk.
Aah! You got me!
What?
No!
Wait a second.
We got you!
Argh!
Yo, Duke, you've
been a prince.
See you around.
Oh!
Omph!
Argh!
Argh!
Let's get Ma-Ti.
Sludge!
Sludge!
Get me out of here!
I've got to help Nukem.
Then again, maybe this
would be a good time
to consider my other options.
Nukem:
Sludge! Sludge!
Ma-Ti, turn your back
and cover your eyes!
Earth!
Wind!
[ Panting ]
Where the heck am I?
Lost --
that's where I am.
[ Screeching ]
Why, you puny primate!
Yeow!
[ Roars ]
[ Chittering ]
Hey, wait for me!
All right,
Ma-Ti?
Yeah!
Well done, Ma-Ti!
Good to see
you, buddy!
Hey, pal,
you had us worried.
I am sorry.
I should have waited, but --
Well, boys and girls,
let's have a blast.
Wheeler:
Run, everybody!
He's too powerful!
We can't stop him!
It's time
for a team beam.
Let our powers
combine!
Earth!
Fire!
Wait! I do not
have my ring!
We cannot stop him
by ourselves.
[ Suchi screeching ]
Huh?
[ Screeching ]
Suchi, good boy!
Let our powers
combine. Earth!
Fire!
Wind!
Water!
Heart!
By your powers combined,
I am Captain Planet!
Planeteers:
Go, Planet!
This calls for
a little rain dance.
Wrong weather
forecast, Planet!
It's going to
be hot!
Ha ha ha!
Aah!
Got to...get out
of...his range.
Unh!
Oh!
Aah!
Nothing like
a little toxic waste
to bring a superhero
back down to Earth.
Oh, it looks bad!
Well, Captain Planet,
where are your
little helpers now?
[ Engine revs ]
Huh?
Hey! They're getting away!
After them,
sludge brain!
Faster!
They are gaining on us!
Linka:
Grab the rope,
Captain Planet!
Unh! Unh!
We're going to crash!
Jump, Kwame!
Unh!
Unh!
Oh!
Oh!
Ah! [ Sputters ]
Nothing like a quick shower
to revive you.
We're in trouble!
Nukem:
What's the matter, kiddies?
Scared you're gonna
take the fall?
I would say your days
are numbered,
and it's
a very low number.
Captain Planet:
Speaking of numbers,
yours is up, Nukem.
No way, Planet!
Yeow!
Whoa! Whoa!
Yeow!
Yeow!
Time for you to leave
this place alone.
Argh!
Now blow!
Aah!
Aah!
Aah! Aah!
[ Both coughing ]
This stuff's too dangerous
to keep around here,
so it's going to
the one place
where nuclear energy
is a way of life --
the sun.
Keep on trucking.
The power is yours!
Ma-Ti: My people are moving
deeper into the forest
to protect
our way of life,
but I wonder,
how much longer will there be
a rain forest
for my people?
I, too, wonder, my friend.
[ Growls ]
Planeteers:
Go, Planet!
The rain forest
is disappearing, Planeteers,
and with it, much of the hope
for our planet.
We are just beginning
to discover
the medical treasures
of the rain forest.
Who knows? Maybe the plant
which cures cancer is here.
But at the rate
the rain forest is
being destroyed...
We may never find out...
Unless we decide to
stop the destruction
before it's too late.
Remember,
the power is yours!
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.
Put it 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

You'll pay for this,
Captain Planet!

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!
