Captain Planet and the Planeteers (1990–1996): Season 4, Episode 11 - The Energy Vampire - full transcript
Captain Planet:
Our world is in peril.
Gaia, the spirit of 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!
The power is yours!
[ Thunder crashing ]
**
What's the hang-up?
I thought we were gonna
strike some sparks around here.
Patience, my friend.
He'll see sparks, all right.
Are you sure this is wise,
Dr. Blightenstein?
It's what he wants.
When I'm done, Duke Nukem
will no longer get a charge
from just nuclear energy.
He'll be able to recharge
from any energy source.
But according
to my calculations,
you're about to turn him
into a glutton for power,
an energy vampire.
And I'll be
his numero uno supplier.
Nukem will be
at my mercy.
And then I'll use him
to suck the power
out of Captain Planet.
[ Thunder crashes ]
What's happening?
It's time.
[ Laughs ]
Oh!
[ Thunder crashes ]
[ Electricity crackling ]
[ Thunder crashes ]
Now!
[ Electricity crackling ]
Is it done?
Or did you fry him?
I feel great!
I've done it!
No more radiation.
That means I can
take off this suit.
Huh?
Oh!
Ow!
My back.
Serves you right,
you clumsy clod.
I'm hungry.
And we're going to
feed you, my pet.
Hurry up. I'm starving.
Ahh.
Have you located
the eco-geeks now, baby?
Yes, Doctor.
According to my spy cam,
they're in Canada.
Oh, probably saving
polka dot owls
or working on some other
enviro-dork project.
What's the nearest
power facility?
A hydroelectric dam.
Perfect. Get me all the info
you can on that dam.
We'll create
a little eco havoc
and lure the planet-punks
into our clutches.
There they are.
[ All cheering, laughter ]
Ugh!
[ Chuckles ]
They're doing great.
Whoa!
**
Thank you!
That was wonderful!
Yeah, great.
Hey, next time,
don't fight the river.
Feel it.
Believe me, I felt it.
These endangered river tours
are a great idea.
Da. Once people learn
the problems a river faces,
they will want to
help save it.
Let's hope so because this river
is in grave danger.
This is a great night
for ghost stories.
Well, I could tell you
about all the people
who disappeared
on this river.
Uh, no thanks.
Then how about Cree tales
of the animal spirits?
Oh, yes.
Please.
I want to hear.
Our people have lived
on this land
for thousands of years.
[ Men chanting ]
[ Drums beating ]
We learned to live in harmony
with nature.
[ Chanting, drumming continues ]
"I am new to this land.
Can you help me find food?"
"You may have my meat
and my fur.
But you must honor my spirit."
"I humbly thank you."
"And I will respect your word.
I shall cook your meat.
I shall wear your fur.
I shall honor your spirit."
Gi: But, Matthew.
Yes, Gi?
The killing
seems so sad.
Is there no other way?
Hunting
is how we survive.
It is too cold
to farm here.
Besides, there are
no supermarkets.
Talking animals, that's right
up your alley, Ma-Ti.
I often speak to animals.
But none have spoken back,
in actual words, that is.
Jimmy: [ Hooting ]
Really?
It's a bear.
Actually, it's
a Jimmy George.
Hello, Jimmy. These are
my friends, the Planeteers.
Jimmy
is a Cree hunter.
Really?
What do you hunt?
I shot a bear a few days ago
down by the La Mort River.
Usually,
it's a prize catch.
But this one was so sick,
I was afraid to eat it.
What was wrong
with the bear?
Mercury poisoning.
When the dams flood the land,
the plants drown and rot,
releasing mercury from the soil.
It gets into everything --
fish, bears, and people.
Now they're planning
to build another dam up here.
They're not just
taking our land.
They're taking
our way of life.
Still no sign
of the eco egg-heads.
We'll flush them out.
Then Dukey baby will captivate
their precious Planet
with his new
electrifying personality.
[ Electricity crackling ]
[ Laughs evilly ]
[ Grunts ]
Stop that.
[ Laughs ]
[ Owl hooting ]
**
Bear: You must help us.
A giant orange man
is coming to destroy
our river and forest.
An orange man?
[ Whale calls ]
We will help
the man of blue.
But you must help us.
[ Whale calls ]
I --
I do not understand.
Soon,
all will be revealed.
[ Tires screech ]
I'm starved.
[ Men scream ]
There. Get yourself
a midnight snack.
[ Grunts ]
Ahh!
[ Electricity crackling ]
Hey, wait up,
Nukey baby.
I don't understand this.
I don't understand that.
[ All screaming ]
Stop!
That was just
a demonstration.
Which of you are
Ferguson and Matalow?
Gentlemen, I'm here
to illuminate you.
Wheeler:
Where's Jimmy George?
He went downstream
hours ago.
Are you all right,
Ma-Ti?
I had a strange dream
last night.
An owl carried me to the river
to meet the other animals.
They warned me an orange man
was coming
to destroy
the river and forest.
Sometimes, these dreams
have great meaning.
Just keep your eyes open.
We will see what unfolds.
[ Power humming ]
[ Electricity crackling ]
[ Whispering ]
Now, we need a power source
closer to the Planeteers.
Sorry, Doctor.
This is the best I can do.
Not good enough.
[ Normal voice ]
You built this?
Yes. It took nearly 20 years
and cost billions.
And with more electricity,
we can build factories,
malls, amusement parks.
So we're looking at other rivers
to build dams on.
[ Whispering ]
Hmm, that might work.
MAL, what river did you say
the planet-punks were on?
The White Whale.
[ Normal voice ] Boys,
have I got a deal for you.
We're going to
build you a dam
on the White Whale River
in record time.
I'll draw up the contract.
The dam will be ready
in three days.
Three days?
That's impossible.
What will it cost us?
Nothing.
Consider it a donation
to the public good.
Gentlemen?
I don't trust them.
You got a deal.
The orange man is here.
The waters will rise.
Many animals will perish.
Wait!
What's wrong Ma-Ti?
Uh, a beaver just spoke to me.
And I did not even use my ring.
The river is going to rise.
Many animals will drown.
Daydreaming, Ma-Ti?
It was no dream.
Yes, I know
it sounds crazy.
But it is very real.
Can we radio
the Geo-Cruiser?
It is out of range.
But I guess
it would not hurt.
Pick up the pace.
Speak for yourself.
[ Helicopter blades whirring ]
Now, see here, we've already
had this argument.
You cannot stand
in the way of progress.
Whose progress?
For us, these dams mean ruin.
Dr. Blight: It's a little late,
chiefy.
[ All gasp ]
This where you wanted
the new power plant?
Yes. But first, we'll need
to divert the river.
Nah.
We just rock and roll.
Hey, that really takes it
out of a growing boy.
Unbelievable.
You can't do this.
I protest.
And you lose.
People are power hungry.
Come on, Doc.
I'm sorry.
We've lost control
of the situation.
Now you know
how we feel.
We can't build a dam this size
without more planning.
It's too dangerous.
I planned. Believe me,
this was all part of my plan.
**
[ Moose grunting ]
You were right, Ma-Ti.
Come on, little guy.
Kwame, we need help.
Let our powers combine.
Earth.
Fire.
Wind.
Water.
Heart.
By your powers combined,
I am Captain Planet.
Planeteers: Go, Planet!
Captain Planet: Hmm.
Too many animals to rescue,
too little time.
Looks like I'll have to try
a more direct approach.
Ugh!
They'll never find a Dutch boy
big enough to plug this baby.
[ Electricity crackles ]
[ Grunts ]
I guess
I spoke too soon.
What a shocker.
This time, Captain Planet,
the power is mine.
[ Groaning ]
Hey!
Cut that out.
No!
[ Coughs ]
[ Electricity crackles ]
Ow!
Nukem, you oaf!
How could you let
that zero hero go?
**
Look.
The water level's dropping.
There's Captain Planet.
[ Indistinct shouting ]
[ Straining ] Giant Nukem
feeding on energy, drain me.
Have to recharge.
The power is yours.
**
Ma-Ti: What happened
to Captain Planet?
He said something
about Nukem being a giant.
Your dream.
The animal spirits warned you
about a giant orange man.
All: Nukem!
Incredible.
You were right, Ma-Ti.
But now what do we do?
Cap said Nukem drained him
for energy.
Perhaps we can drain Nukem.
I told you
this was a mistake.
I'm beginning to think
you were right.
Come on.
Dr. Blight,
this is a disaster.
Oh, lighten up, will you?
Everything'll work out fine.
Or would you rather argue
with that?
[ Laughs evilly ]
[ Electricity crackles ]
Look, I'm sorry.
But we'll build this dam
the old-fashioned way,
with bulldozers
and cement.
I have a signed contract.
Until my dam is finished,
no one leaves.
[ Laughs evilly ]
I should have listened
to you, Jean Luc.
That Blight is mad.
[ Laughs ]
What the...?
[ Laughing evilly ]
The water is rising,
Ma-Ti.
How long until your
Captain Planet is strong again?
It is hard to say.
What's the difference?
If this Nukem monster
doesn't build the dam,
the province hydro monster
will.
We must fight one monster
at a time.
You are right.
The animals have called on us
to defend them.
Yeah. But how can we stop
that glowing Godzilla?
First, I think we had better
trade in our rafts
for something with
a bit more horsepower.
Stay in the sun.
Do not let him see us.
Fini, Doctor.
Now, turn it on.
I need the juice.
Ready.
I hate to do this
to the old cruiser.
I know. But we have to drain
some of Nukem's energy,
or Captain Planet
will not have a chance.
Remember, Wheeler, we must not
lose the remote control.
I now declare
this dam online.
[ Electricity crackles ]
Yeah!
Eco gnats, eh?
[ Chuckles ]
I'll zap those bugs.
Save it
for Captain Planet.
Can it, squirt.
This is my party.
No!
You cool it, hothead.
[ Roaring ]
He is shrinking.
We must hurry
before he can regenerate.
Now,
let our powers combine.
Earth.
Fire.
Wind.
Water.
Heart.
By your powers combined,
I am Captain Planet!
Hey, Nukem, you'll get
a real charge out of this.
Stand and fight.
I'm hungry.
Sorry, I won't be staying
for dinner.
Aah!
Okay, no more
Mr. Nice Guy.
No! Vera, wait.
Looky what I've got,
Planet.
If you want her,
come and get her.
[ Screaming ]
That's low, even for that
electrified lummox.
[ Wind howling ]
**
Aah!
Hold still.
[ Grunts ]
You're all wet, Nukem.
Aah!
Aah!
Gotcha.
[ Grunts ]
Wheeler: Grab on.
It's no use, Captain Plankton.
I'm sucking you dry.
Linka:
Nukem is out of control.
He has become
an energy addict.
We all have.
[ Groans ]
[ Straining ]
Planeteers, I need help.
Maybe that's it, Cap.
Maybe Nukem is
attracted to you
because you're
the strongest power source.
Da. So if we could boost
the power to the grid...
Nukem will be drawn to it,
not to Captain Planet.
Yes.
Turn off your power,
please, everyone.
Turn off your power.
Turn off your power.
Turn off your power.
Hey. The power levels
are surging.
[ Electricity crackles ]
Food!
No, you idiot.
You have Planet.
Don't let him go.
You want him?
Go get him.
[ Grunting ]
[ Laughs evilly ]
[ Nukem powers up ]
**
[ Laughs ]
[ All screaming ]
Pbht!
Nothing like a cool dip
to get me charged up.
Ah, what's up, Duke?
Huh?
You couldn't catch a fly,
you big fool dolt.
Oh, yeah?
Yeah.
This ought to
really steam you.
Aah!
[ Electricity crackles ]
Aah!
Help me.
You blew it, bucko.
Yeah!
Ow!
Oh! [ Groaning ]
Ahh!
Well,
that's much better.
Thanks, boss.
Thank you for helping us.
The pleasure's mine.
And the power is yours!
I guess it's time
to re-evaluate our energy needs.
And there will be thorough
environmental studies
and real talks
before we even think
of building any more dams.
Sorry I teased you, Ma-Ti.
I shouldn't have doubted
your animal instincts.
It is okay, Wheeler.
I had doubts, too.
Never doubt
your feelings, Ma-Ti.
You're very special.
Mwah!
What a guy -- animal instincts
and animal magnetism.
Planeteers: Go, Planet.
Captain Planet:
The EPA Green Lights program
is working to make industry
and homes
more energy-efficient.
But they need your help.
Today, you can buy
special refrigerators,
water heaters,
and even light bulbs
that help
save electricity.
Next time a light bulb
burns out,
ask your parents to buy
an energy-efficient bulb.
They may cost more,
but they last longer.
And help protect our planet.
And remember
to turn off the lights
when you're not
using them.
Planeteers: Go, Planet.
Environments aren't just places
for plants and animals live.
Wherever you are
is an environment,
whether it's your bedroom
or schoolyard.
And your environment
is more than simply
the physical things around you.
It's also about people
and how they interact.
People who sell drugs and fight
create a negative environment.
But if those same people
change their attitudes,
they can help create
a healthy environment.
Don't be part of the pollution,
be part of the solution.
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!
Our world is in peril.
Gaia, the spirit of Earth,
can no longer stand
the terrible destruction
plaguing our planet.

Eco gnats, eh?
[ Chuckles ]
I'll zap those bugs.
Save it
for Captain Planet.
Can it, squirt.
This is my party.
No!
You cool it, hothead.
[ Roaring ]
He is shrinking.
We must hurry
before he can regenerate.
Now,
let our powers combine.
Earth.
Fire.
Wind.
Water.
Heart.
By your powers combined,
I am Captain Planet!
Hey, Nukem, you'll get
a real charge out of this.
Stand and fight.
I'm hungry.
Sorry, I won't be staying
for dinner.
Aah!
Okay, no more
Mr. Nice Guy.
No! Vera, wait.
Looky what I've got,
Planet.
If you want her,
come and get her.
[ Screaming ]
That's low, even for that
electrified lummox.
[ Wind howling ]
**
Aah!
Hold still.
[ Grunts ]
You're all wet, Nukem.
Aah!
Aah!
Gotcha.
[ Grunts ]
Wheeler: Grab on.
It's no use, Captain Plankton.
I'm sucking you dry.
Linka:
Nukem is out of control.
He has become
an energy addict.
We all have.
[ Groans ]
[ Straining ]
Planeteers, I need help.
Maybe that's it, Cap.
Maybe Nukem is
attracted to you
because you're
the strongest power source.
Da. So if we could boost
the power to the grid...
Nukem will be drawn to it,
not to Captain Planet.
Yes.
Turn off your power,
please, everyone.
Turn off your power.
Turn off your power.
Turn off your power.
Hey. The power levels
are surging.
[ Electricity crackles ]
Food!
No, you idiot.
You have Planet.
Don't let him go.
You want him?
Go get him.
[ Grunting ]
[ Laughs evilly ]
[ Nukem powers up ]
**
[ Laughs ]
[ All screaming ]
Pbht!
Nothing like a cool dip
to get me charged up.
Ah, what's up, Duke?
Huh?
You couldn't catch a fly,
you big fool dolt.
Oh, yeah?
Yeah.
This ought to
really steam you.
Aah!
[ Electricity crackles ]
Aah!
Help me.
You blew it, bucko.
Yeah!
Ow!
Oh! [ Groaning ]
Ahh!
Well,
that's much better.
Thanks, boss.
Thank you for helping us.
The pleasure's mine.
And the power is yours!
I guess it's time
to re-evaluate our energy needs.
And there will be thorough
environmental studies
and real talks
before we even think
of building any more dams.
Sorry I teased you, Ma-Ti.
I shouldn't have doubted
your animal instincts.
It is okay, Wheeler.
I had doubts, too.
Never doubt
your feelings, Ma-Ti.
You're very special.
Mwah!
What a guy -- animal instincts
and animal magnetism.
Planeteers: Go, Planet.
Captain Planet:
The EPA Green Lights program
is working to make industry
and homes
more energy-efficient.
But they need your help.
Today, you can buy
special refrigerators,
water heaters,
and even light bulbs
that help
save electricity.
Next time a light bulb
burns out,
ask your parents to buy
an energy-efficient bulb.
They may cost more,
but they last longer.
And help protect our planet.
And remember
to turn off the lights
when you're not
using them.
Planeteers: Go, Planet.
Environments aren't just places
for plants and animals live.
Wherever you are
is an environment,
whether it's your bedroom
or schoolyard.
And your environment
is more than simply
the physical things around you.
It's also about people
and how they interact.
People who sell drugs and fight
create a negative environment.
But if those same people
change their attitudes,
they can help create
a healthy environment.
Don't be part of the pollution,
be part of the solution.
The power is yours!
Earth!
Fire!
Wind!
Water!
Heart!
All: Go, Planet!
By your powers combined,
I am Captain Planet!
