Captain Planet and the Planeteers (1990–1996): Season 3, Episode 11 - A Formula for Hate - 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 Eastern Europe --
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!
Stayed tuned, Planeteers.
I'll be right back.
Gi: And now back to
"Captain Planet".

[ Metal clanging ]
Come on!
We ain't got all night.
[ Laughs ]
[ Alarm sounds ]
[ Explosion ]
Where can it be in here?
[ Mutters ]
Aha! Got it.
[ Laughs ]
[ Camera shutter clicking ]
A doctor's office?
What is Skumm doing there?
Well, whatever he's up to,
you can bet it's not good.
Planeteers, you'd better go
and find out what's going on.
We are on our way,
Gaia.
Announcer: Down by 2,
with 35 seconds to go,
and the Bobcats
have the ball.
It doesn't get any better
than this, folks.
Sturges drives,
he passes right to Andrews.
And he lays it in.
And we're all tied up
with 14 seconds to go.
The Panthers
bring it in.
Aha! An arching throw!
And it's...stolen!
Todd Andrews
stole the ball!
He passes it off
to Sturges.
Sturges is up,
and it's off the rim.
But Andrews jams it!
Andrews jams it!
It's all over, folks.
Jackston High's going
to the state championships!
[ Crowd cheering ]
You're riding high,
hero.
Be careful
you don't fall.
What? Move it.
Wheeler: Let's go!
Planet pests --
they'll ruin everything.
We've got to
get rid of them.
Did you see
all the scouts, Todd?
Todd's going to be
a big basketball star.
[ Chuckles ]
Get out of here, Chip.
It could mean
a scholarship, Todd,
especially
the way you played tonight.
Awesome!
The best part was when --
Mrs. Andrews:
Do the play-by-play
tomorrow, Chip.
We should be
heading on home.
Remember, Todd, we've got that
doctor's appointment tomorrow.
Yeah, mom.
Don't worry about the market,
Mrs. Andrews.
I'll take care of it.
And I'll help her.
Thanks, Lisa.
Don't stay out
too late, now.
You were really great
tonight, Todd.
Thanks.
Jeff: Hey, mister.
Jeff!
Can I get
your autograph?
Thanks for bailing me,
Todd.
Next week, bud,
we're gonna do it.
Doctor:
I know it must be a shock.
Wait a second, doc.
Are you tell me
I've got AIDS?
No, Todd. You tested positive
for the HIV virus,
and that leads to AIDS,
but you don't have AIDS.
How could it happen?
Well, there are only a few ways
to contract the virus --
using drugs with needles,
unprotected sex,
or he could have gotten it
from that blood transfusion
he had a few years back.
They weren't testing blood
for the AIDS virus then.
Who cares how I got it?
It stinks!
Todd. Todd!
[ Printer whirring ]
AIDS is the best thing to come
along since the black plague.
[ Laughs ]
I didn't know
rats spread AIDS.
We don't,
you lummox.
I'm talking about spreading
hate and ignorance.
And I'm just the rat
for the job.
Once we let people know
the kid has AIDS,
we can panic
the whole town.
[ Laughs ]
I'm finished,
but I got to test it.
They'll be scared
to death.
See, when people panic,
they don't think.
Just stand over there.
If they don't think,
they stay stupid about AIDS,
and it gets spread.
Once it spreads
far enough,
we take over the Earth.
Aah!
[ Grunts ]
Whoa!
[ Laughs ]
It works-s-s.
Ma-Ti:
How are we going to find out
what Skumm is up to?
We should split up.
Wheeler and I will check out
the downtown area.
We'll check
the reservoir.
Let's go.
[ Basketball dribbles ]
Your mother called.
She's worried.
You want to talk?
Nothing to say.
It's all over.
Not the way I hear it.
Coach,
I've got AIDS!
Wrong! You're HIV-positive.
Big difference!
It could be years
before you even get sick.
Yeah,
but it's gonna happen.
They probably won't even let me
play in the big game.
Wrong again,
Andrews.
You're gonna be playing
in that game.
And anybody who says otherwise
will have to deal with me.
You sure, coach?
You worked hard
to get here, Todd.
I'm not gonna let you
quit on me now.
Thanks, coach.
Come on! Let's work on
your crossover dribble.
[ Device beeps ]
Nothing. It's clean.
I wonder if Wheeler
and Kwame have found anything.
I will check.
Kwame, what is happening?
We have searched
all over town, but --
Wait!
There's Skumm.
[ Gasps ]
We've got you
this time, Skumm!
They spotted Skumm!
Hurry!
And Andrews spins baseline
and slam-dunks it.
The Bobcats win!
Hey, Mom, which pro team
do you think Todd will play for?
Is something wrong?
It's nothing, Lisa.
[ Chuckles ]
I-I just get sad
thinking about
my boy leaving.
I-I mean,
leaving h-home.
Hey, Todd!
Chip, we've got chores
at the house.
But, Mom!
I think Todd and Lisa
want to be alone.
Todd,
what's going on?
Nothing.
Well, actually, uh,
there's something
I want to talk to you about.
What's wrong?
Look, Lisa, uh,
I'm going to be going away
to college pretty soon.
And, well, I might want to
date other girls.
What are you saying?
Look, I just don't
want to be tied down.
Well, don't let me
hold you back.
Here,
Mr. Basketball Star!
[ Crying ]
There he goes!
[ Hisses ]
Hey, give it up, Skumm.
What if he went
the other way?
No way.
Look at the footprints.
Careful.
There's something ahead.
[ All gasp ]
[ Grunts ]
Ugh!
That is the boy who won
the basketball game.
This is low,
even for Skumm.
Wheeler: Well, he won't
get away with it.
[ Remote beeps ]
Huh?
What?
Aah!
Wheeler!
Aah!
Ugh!
Aah!
Aah!
[ All grunting ]
Works-s-s!
Knew it would.
Finally you punkateers
are just where I want you --
all wrapped up
and no place to go.
Oh! You will pay
for this, Skumm.
[ Laughs ]
Time to say goodbye
to the planetpods.
Too bad.
They won't be around to see
my grandest evil scheme ever.
I've discovered the formula
for hate.
[ Laughs evilly ]
[ All gasp ]
[ All grunting ]
If we do not get free,
we will drown!
[ All grunting ]
Linka: And now,
back to "Captain Planet".
Kwame, we've got
to help Wheeler!
Use your legs!
We'll raise him up.
He's up!
Look. His ring hand
is free.
[ All gasp ]
Oh, no!
Bring him back up.
I cannot find him.
[ Coughing ]
Oh, Wheeler.
You're safe.
Quick. Use your ring.
Hurry.
[ Coughing ]
Right, little buddy.
Fire!
[ All scream ]
[ Coughing ]
We must get that rat!
[ Indistinct talking ]
Psst. Did you hear
about Todd Andrews?
[ Whispering ]
[ Whispering ]
Don't touch him.
You could be next.
AIDS? Todd Andrews?
[ Gasps ] AIDS?
Oh, you're kidding.
Hey, Jeff. I hear
your buddy Todd has AIDS.
Man, what kind
of trash are you talking?
You better not
be spreading that.
What?
You sticking up for him?
Maybe you got it, too.
Maybe you and him...
Shut up!
Here he comes.
Ew, don't touch him.
Hey, Jeff,
you set for the game?
Hey, other people have to
use that fountain.
We don't want to catch AIDS.
Come on.
Deny it.
Todd, tell him
he's wrong.
Look, man, I-I-I wanted
to tell you.
You've got it?
That's right, big shot.
You're finished
playing basketball.
Jeff, I --
Back off, Todd.
Don't touch me.
Don't worry.
I won't.
Some hero you are,
Andrews.
I cannot believe this.
Listen.
"The disease is here.
Protect your children.
Get rid of AIDS
in your town."
Skumm's posters.
It's disgusting.
We have a right
to protect ourselves.
But there is no need
to panic.
What do you know?
You can bet my kid's
not gonna play
in that
basketball game.
Not if Todd Andrews plays.
We must find a way
to help Todd.
What does it take to get rid of
these planet twits?
Ah, doesn't matter.
Soon as they leave,
we start on the crowd.
This town won't know
what hit it.
[ Laughs ]
Todd! So that's why
he broke up with me.
He was trying
to protect me.
But I would have
understood.
It could happen
to you or your loves ones.
What are you going to do?
[ Crowd shouting ]
Then let's do it!
[ Door opens, closes ]
Chip: [ Crying ]
Chip? Chipper?
What's wrong?
What happened?
Th-that poster.
They said you had
a disease.
I called them liars,
and they -- they beat me up.
You don't have AIDS,
do you, Todd?
Todd?
[ Door closes ]
Todd?
Ma-Ti: Down there!
Knock it down!
[ All shouting ]
Planet twerps.
I'm out of here.
[ Clattering ]
Stop!
Stop it!
Go away!
Leave us alone!
[ Gasps ]
Stop it! Stop it!
Leave her alone!
[ All shouting ]
Get your mother
out of here, Todd.
We'll take care
of the mob.
Wind!
[ Laughs ] Yes.
Ha ha!
Linka: Wheeler, look!
Fire!
[ Tires squealing ]
[ Sirens wailing ]
Hey, beat it!
[ Indistinct shouting ]
People don't always think
before they hurt others.
We'll pull through,
Chipper.
[ Door opens, closes ]
The crowd is gone, but I am
afraid your produce stand
is a mess.
We'll be glad
to help you.
Thanks for all
you've done.
[ Door opens, closes ]
Where's Todd?
I have to talk to him.
He -- he just
went into the kitchen.
Todd!
Todd!
He's gone!
[ Frog croaks ]
[ Gasps ]
**
[ Bat squeaks ]
What?
**
[ Door closes ]
[ Footsteps ]
Skumm: [ Laughs ]
[ Door opens ]
[ Gasps ]
Wh-who's there?
Your worst nightmare.
I'm ignorance.
I'm fear. I'm hate.
Get away!
Leave me alone!
You can run,
but you can't hide.
[ Laughs evilly ]
[ Cries ] Todd.
Aah!
Look what you did to me.
They beat me up
because of you.
No!
[ Panting ]
Jeff?
I can't hang out
with you anymore.
What will people think?
Aah!
[ Panting ]
Mom!
You were my pride
and joy,
and you let me down.
No. No.
[ Gasps ]
I love you.
Why did you turn
your back on me?
[ Cries ]
No!
No!
Are you a quitter, Todd?
I don't like quitters.
I-I'm not a quitter.
I-I just don't know
how to fight this.
But I'm not
a quitter.
I'm not a quitter!
I'm not!
Aah!
I'm not a quitter.
I got to go back.
My canoe.
Going into halftime,
the Bobcats trail the Titans
by 16.
The score -- 36-20.
No sign of Todd?
No. I really thought
he'd show up.
Where could he be?
Ma-Ti, maybe you can
find Todd.
I will try. Heart.
I see him.
He wants to get back,
but he cannot.
I see water,
an old shack.
The fishing camp.
But that's
way downriver.
He'll never make it back
in time.
I think we can help.
Come on, Planeteers.
Let our powers combine.
Earth!
Fire!
Wind!
Water!
Heart!
By your powers combined,
I am Captain Planet!
All: Go, Planet!
[ Grunting ]
Oh!
[ Sighs ] Great.
[ Gasps ]
Hey, need a lift?
The Bobcats are coming back on
the floor for the second half,
and they don't
look too happy, folks.
But hang on!
Todd Andrews is on the court!
[ Crowd gasps ]
How about it, coach?
Can he play?
Hey, what's he doing here?
He's not gonna
infect my players.
Get him out of here!
He's got AIDS!
[ Crowd shouting ]
It's okay, coach. I don't
want to cause trouble.
Stay put, Todd.
This is supposed to
be a school.
But I think these people
need a little education
about the HIV virus.
May I have your attention,
please?
A lot of you
are worried about AIDS.
And there's a rat in your midst
who's been spreading lies.
Give them the facts, coach.
You can't get AIDS
from casual contact.
Hugging, touching,
they're okay.
You can use the same
water fountain.
Or even the same cafeteria.
It's safe.
You've been led astray
by lies.
Todd hasn't changed.
That's right!
He's the same kid
who played his heart out for you
right here on this court
last week.
Deal with the real, people.
Get the facts.
If Todd had any other disease,
you'd be cheering him on.
Right now,
Todd needs your support.
The power is yours!
So, what are you
going to do?
Turn your back on him
or give him the chance
he deserves?
[ All cheering ]
All: [ Chanting ]
Todd! Todd!
No! Get him out of here!
Take a hike,
rat-face.
What are you waiting for?
You heard the people.
Suit up.
Thanks, Captain Planet.
Now go win
your game, Todd.
Not so fast,
cheeseball.
Uh...
Hey, Planet.
Nice speech.
Hey! What are you
gonna do to us?
Well...nothing.
[ Crowd cheering,
sirens wailing ]
I just wanted you
to hear those cheers.
I'm not gonna do a thing to you,
Skumm,
but I can't speak for them.
[ Sirens chirp ]
[ Handcuffs click ]
Aah!
Todd Andrews scores,
and the Bobcats have their
first lead of the game.
They're up by one
with less than a minute to go.
The Titans take it
downcourt.
Johnson drives to the basket
and levels Andrews.
Let's take them,
bud.
Sturges inbounds
to Andrews.
He avoids the trap,
gets it back to Sturges.
Sturges drives,
dishes to Andrews.
And he...
Nail it!
...slam-dunks it
at the buzzer.
It's all over!
Jackston High's Bobcats
are the new state champs!
[ Cheers and applause ]
Planeteers: Go, Planet!
AIDS is a terrible epidemic
plaguing our world,
but two things
make it even worse --
ignorance and fear.
You cannot catch AIDS
from hugging or playing
or eating in the same cafeteria
with someone.
Learn the facts about AIDS.
Talk to your parents,
your school nurse,
counselor, or your teacher.
So protect yourself
and others with knowledge.
Remember,
the power is yours!
Wheeler: We'll be right back
with more Planeteer action.
Planeteers: We're back!
Go, Planet!
Go, Planet!
Captain Planet:
The health of our planet
relies on the health
of its people.
To reach
the highest heights...
And win the fight
to save our planet...
We must have strength...
Endurance...
And courage.
Wheeler: Our minds...
And our bodies
must be in shape.
Stay fit.
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!

Get rid of AIDS
in your town."
Skumm's posters.
It's disgusting.
We have a right
to protect ourselves.
But there is no need
to panic.
What do you know?
You can bet my kid's
not gonna play
in that
basketball game.
Not if Todd Andrews plays.
We must find a way
to help Todd.
What does it take to get rid of
these planet twits?
Ah, doesn't matter.
Soon as they leave,
we start on the crowd.
This town won't know
what hit it.
[ Laughs ]
Todd! So that's why
he broke up with me.
He was trying
to protect me.
But I would have
understood.
It could happen
to you or your loves ones.
What are you going to do?
[ Crowd shouting ]
Then let's do it!
[ Door opens, closes ]
Chip: [ Crying ]
Chip? Chipper?
What's wrong?
What happened?
Th-that poster.
They said you had
a disease.
I called them liars,
and they -- they beat me up.
You don't have AIDS,
do you, Todd?
Todd?
[ Door closes ]
Todd?
Ma-Ti: Down there!
Knock it down!
[ All shouting ]
Planet twerps.
I'm out of here.
[ Clattering ]
Stop!
Stop it!
Go away!
Leave us alone!
[ Gasps ]
Stop it! Stop it!
Leave her alone!
[ All shouting ]
Get your mother
out of here, Todd.
We'll take care
of the mob.
Wind!
[ Laughs ] Yes.
Ha ha!
Linka: Wheeler, look!
Fire!
[ Tires squealing ]
[ Sirens wailing ]
Hey, beat it!
[ Indistinct shouting ]
People don't always think
before they hurt others.
We'll pull through,
Chipper.
[ Door opens, closes ]
The crowd is gone, but I am
afraid your produce stand
is a mess.
We'll be glad
to help you.
Thanks for all
you've done.
[ Door opens, closes ]
Where's Todd?
I have to talk to him.
He -- he just
went into the kitchen.
Todd!
Todd!
He's gone!
[ Frog croaks ]
[ Gasps ]
**
[ Bat squeaks ]
What?
**
[ Door closes ]
[ Footsteps ]
Skumm: [ Laughs ]
[ Door opens ]
[ Gasps ]
Wh-who's there?
Your worst nightmare.
I'm ignorance.
I'm fear. I'm hate.
Get away!
Leave me alone!
You can run,
but you can't hide.
[ Laughs evilly ]
[ Cries ] Todd.
Aah!
Look what you did to me.
They beat me up
because of you.
No!
[ Panting ]
Jeff?
I can't hang out
with you anymore.
What will people think?
Aah!
[ Panting ]
Mom!
You were my pride
and joy,
and you let me down.
No. No.
[ Gasps ]
I love you.
Why did you turn
your back on me?
[ Cries ]
No!
No!
Are you a quitter, Todd?
I don't like quitters.
I-I'm not a quitter.
I-I just don't know
how to fight this.
But I'm not
a quitter.
I'm not a quitter!
I'm not!
Aah!
I'm not a quitter.
I got to go back.
My canoe.
Going into halftime,
the Bobcats trail the Titans
by 16.
The score -- 36-20.
No sign of Todd?
No. I really thought
he'd show up.
Where could he be?
Ma-Ti, maybe you can
find Todd.
I will try. Heart.
I see him.
He wants to get back,
but he cannot.
I see water,
an old shack.
The fishing camp.
But that's
way downriver.
He'll never make it back
in time.
I think we can help.
Come on, Planeteers.
Let our powers combine.
Earth!
Fire!
Wind!
Water!
Heart!
By your powers combined,
I am Captain Planet!
All: Go, Planet!
[ Grunting ]
Oh!
[ Sighs ] Great.
[ Gasps ]
Hey, need a lift?
The Bobcats are coming back on
the floor for the second half,
and they don't
look too happy, folks.
But hang on!
Todd Andrews is on the court!
[ Crowd gasps ]
How about it, coach?
Can he play?
Hey, what's he doing here?
He's not gonna
infect my players.
Get him out of here!
He's got AIDS!
[ Crowd shouting ]
It's okay, coach. I don't
want to cause trouble.
Stay put, Todd.
This is supposed to
be a school.
But I think these people
need a little education
about the HIV virus.
May I have your attention,
please?
A lot of you
are worried about AIDS.
And there's a rat in your midst
who's been spreading lies.
Give them the facts, coach.
You can't get AIDS
from casual contact.
Hugging, touching,
they're okay.
You can use the same
water fountain.
Or even the same cafeteria.
It's safe.
You've been led astray
by lies.
Todd hasn't changed.
That's right!
He's the same kid
who played his heart out for you
right here on this court
last week.
Deal with the real, people.
Get the facts.
If Todd had any other disease,
you'd be cheering him on.
Right now,
Todd needs your support.
The power is yours!
So, what are you
going to do?
Turn your back on him
or give him the chance
he deserves?
[ All cheering ]
All: [ Chanting ]
Todd! Todd!
No! Get him out of here!
Take a hike,
rat-face.
What are you waiting for?
You heard the people.
Suit up.
Thanks, Captain Planet.
Now go win
your game, Todd.
Not so fast,
cheeseball.
Uh...
Hey, Planet.
Nice speech.
Hey! What are you
gonna do to us?
Well...nothing.
[ Crowd cheering,
sirens wailing ]
I just wanted you
to hear those cheers.
I'm not gonna do a thing to you,
Skumm,
but I can't speak for them.
[ Sirens chirp ]
[ Handcuffs click ]
Aah!
Todd Andrews scores,
and the Bobcats have their
first lead of the game.
They're up by one
with less than a minute to go.
The Titans take it
downcourt.
Johnson drives to the basket
and levels Andrews.
Let's take them,
bud.
Sturges inbounds
to Andrews.
He avoids the trap,
gets it back to Sturges.
Sturges drives,
dishes to Andrews.
And he...
Nail it!
...slam-dunks it
at the buzzer.
It's all over!
Jackston High's Bobcats
are the new state champs!
[ Cheers and applause ]
Planeteers: Go, Planet!
AIDS is a terrible epidemic
plaguing our world,
but two things
make it even worse --
ignorance and fear.
You cannot catch AIDS
from hugging or playing
or eating in the same cafeteria
with someone.
Learn the facts about AIDS.
Talk to your parents,
your school nurse,
counselor, or your teacher.
So protect yourself
and others with knowledge.
Remember,
the power is yours!
Wheeler: We'll be right back
with more Planeteer action.
Planeteers: We're back!
Go, Planet!
Go, Planet!
Captain Planet:
The health of our planet
relies on the health
of its people.
To reach
the highest heights...
And win the fight
to save our planet...
We must have strength...
Endurance...
And courage.
Wheeler: Our minds...
And our bodies
must be in shape.
Stay fit.
The power is yours!
Earth!
Fire!
Wind!
Water!
Heart!
All: Go, Planet!
By your powers combined,
I am Captain Planet!
