Captain Planet and the Planeteers (1990–1996): Season 4, Episode 22 - 'Teers in the Hood - 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!
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!
Man: Can you imagine
getting on a bus
and getting ordered
to go to the back?
What would you do if you could
only enter a hotel
or restaurant through
the rear entrance,
unwelcome to come in the front?
You take these everyday routines
of life for granted.
But some very courageous
and brave people
gave their lives,
so you would have the right
to eat where you want...
Yeah.
Ride in the front of the bus,
go to the school
of your choice,
live in the neighborhood
of your choice.
You think it's simply your right
to make these choices.
But it's much more
than a simple right.
Yeah...
I'm talking civil rights.
Oh, man.
You might not be sitting
in this room today if not for
the courage of
Frederick Douglass
and Harriet Tubman,
who fought for
the freedom of slaves.
This man, Mahatma Gandhi,
was the inspiration
for the modern-day
nonviolent movement,
a movement that inspired
the likes of such leaders
as Rosa Parks,
Martin Luther King,
Cesar Chavez,
Nelson Mandela,
Chico Mendes.
They wanted a better
world for you.
And we'll forever
miss John F. Kennedy,
Robert Kennedy, Malcolm X.
You are the future
they lived for,
dreamed for, died for.
But their hopes
and dreams are not dead,
if you stop the violence,
stop the gangs,
stop the killing,
stop the crime,
declare a truce
and share the dream
of a better, happier life.

[ Gunfire ]
Help, somebody, please!
Do something, Dog!
Cool out, Jetson!
That's my brother, Ronnie!
Don't sweat it, Dog.
I ain't gonna smoke Ronnie.
But we've gotta show
those Evil Educators
that this is our turf!
Man, why'd they have to get
transported to our school?
Got to re-educate
the Wrecking Crew
that we're what's
happenin' here, now.
Here, let's show those fools
they can't do us!
Cover me, Neil!
Quick, get in. Come on, Ronnie.
That Wrecking Crew
sucka's dead meat.
Chill, Clayton.
That's Mr. King, the teacher.
He's cool.
Don't mess with him.
Mr. King!
He's hit!
Somebody get help!
Man:
Earth to Mr. Wheeler.
Mr. Wheeler?
Earth to Mr. Wheeler?
Huh? Uh, uh,
my dog ate it.
Oh, sorry.
Ah, man, I can't believe
I'm back in school.
Shh.
Pay attention, Wheeler.
Maybe you'll learn
something this time around.
[ Bell rings ]
[ Cheering,
excited conversation ]
I wonder if Linka
and Kwame are havin'
any luck findin' out
who shot your friend.
I still can't
believe it happened.
Everyone liked David!
Well, neither gang's
gonna fess up.
Nobody'll even
talk about it!
So, Wheeler, is your best
subject still lunch?
Nah, Romance 101.
You wanna cram
together, sometime?
How can you two joke around
when David's fighting
for his life?
Gi, you must ease up!
He will pull through.
Been wantin' to give this to you
for a long time, Dog!
[ Grunting ]
The old one is Main-Dog.
He leads the Wrecking Crew Gang.
Theo is one of
the Evil Educators.
Step off, man!
I ain't playin' with you!
Man, I'm gonna take you out!
I do not understand
why there is
such hatred just
because the gangs live
in different housing projects.
Kwame, my man,
it's all territory
and who controls it.
I've seen it all my life.
I will cool them off.
No! If we blow our cover,
we'll never find out
who shot David!
Come on, you want some more?
Ugh!
[ Alarm blaring ]
Ah! Later, sucka.
[ Coughing ]
Theo! Come on!
Let's get out of here!
I can't see.
My eyes are burning!
Lives are at stake.
We need help.
Then we better
find Ma-Ti and fast.
His Special Ed class
is in the next building.
Ma-Ti, hurry!
Over there!
Let our powers combine!
Earth!
-Fire!
-Wind!
-Water!
-Heart!
By your powers combined,
I am Captain Planet!
[ Cheering ]
Go, Planet!
This is definitely not better
living through chemistry.
I'd better take a little spin
before I go back to school.
Today's assignment,
live and let live.
Now, try to stay
outta trouble.
The power is yours!
Okay, the excitement's over.
We've got work to do.
Take it easy, Gi.
We'll find out
who shot your friend.
It is just a matter of time.
Linka and I have already met
some of the gang members.
And I have become
friendly with a boy
in my class
who was at the shooting.
His brother, Main-Dog,
is the leader
of the Wrecking Crew Gang.
Linka and I are in a class
with Main-Dog.
He is a tough customer.
Be careful, Ma-Ti.
I do not think Ronnie is
involved with gang violence.
But with two rival gangs
on one campus,
we all have to be careful!
Look, there is Clayton.
Man, I don't believe it.
I thought you told your sister
not to hang with that sped!
Ronnie, you have to
tell the police you saw
who shot Mr. King.
No way! It'll just
start more trouble.
And don't you rat, either!
I'm sorry I told you!
Hi, Ronnie!
Hi, Julie!
Hi.
Hey, Ma-Ti.
Girl, I told you to stay
away from that sped!
You don't run my life!
Besides, being in Special Ed
doesn't mean Ronnie's not smart.
He's smart enough
to stay outta gangs!
Yeah?
Yeah!
As a matter of fact,
Ronnie's taught me a lot.
Don't you be dissin' me!
Back off, Clayton!
You frontin' me, sped?
Wait!
You just blew it, sucka!
Ugh!
Not again!
Enough! Stop it!
I'm warnin' you, fool!
Leave my sister alone.
Or it's R.I.P. time for you!
Stay outta my life, Clayton!
Cool moves, man.
Thanks.
I thought he was
pullin' a gun.
I figured I better jump in.
You okay.
So maybe you wanna hang
sometime
with me and my homeboys?
Uh, right, yeah,
that'd be great.
[ Sirens blaring ]
Hang in there, David.
We'll find out
who did this to you.
Dr. Doris, dial 182, please.
I still cannot understand
why they must resort
to bloodshed!
I'll tell you why.
They don't think
they've got a future!
All they've got
is their turf!
Nothing gives you the right
to shoot another person.
Whoever did this is gonna pay!
How's Mr. King?
Not good.
They don't know
if...
I don't care
what you say, Wheeler!
Mindless violence
can't be justified!
Who's talkin'
justification, Gi?
I'm talkin' reality!
Whoa! What you guys
so uptight about?
Oh, nothing.
Macho man thinks
he has all the answers.
Yeah?
Well, chill.
We're goin' to
the game room.
Cool! I love
video games.
We ain't playin'
no games, man.
We hittin' the spot
to score some gats.
Gats?
Uh, guns.
It's a deal, then.
Remember, only automatic.
You get the rest
when I get the goods.
Yeah, all right.
One more thing...
I can't believe
that death-peddler
is allowed to walk the streets.
Easy, Gi.
Yo, Wheeler, catch.
Huh?
How you like
your new piece, man?
So, how you like
your new gun, man?
Def, ain't it?
Yeah, uh, great.
But I -- I --
I don't have any money.
No problem.
I'll take it out in favors.
This'll do a lot of favors.
You shouldn't let chicks
play with guns.
Well, if it isn't
the rovin' Romeo.
What do you want, Clayton?
It's special-education
time, Ronnie.
We gonna teach you a lesson.
You better back off!
I saw who shot Mr. King!
Huh? You're full of it!
Uh, uh, I --
I'm gonna tell the cops
it was you, Clayton!
That's a lie, sped!
And you're gonna pay for it!
Let's get him!
Hey, you guys cover the front.
I'll go 'round back.
Going somewhere, sped?
It's favor time, Wheeler!
Take care of the fool!
Come on, Clayton!
He's just a punk.
He got your point.
Let him go.
I said, "Take him out!"
Listen, jerk!
Keep your mouth shut!
Real brave,
picking on a kid.
Yeah, maybe,
you're more my size.
Uh-oh, trouble.
[ Chatter ]
It's suicide to stay here.
Yo, we outta here!
You cool, Ronnie?
You all right, man?
Are you okay?
Yeah, thanks to Kwame.
What have you done
to Ronnie?
Nothin'.
We haven't seen the sped
since school.
You're lyin'!
Ronnie was supposed
to meet me to study.
And he'd have shown up unless --
Girl, I told you!
We ain't done nothin'!
But we will,
as soon as we find him.
Main-Dog knows you got Ronnie.
Have him back by midnight.
Or it's on at the Wave Thrill.
Main-Dog can have his war.
But I'm tellin' you,
we don't know where Ronnie is.
Right.
[Whispering]
Ma-Ti is missing, too.
[Whispering]
He must be with Ronnie.
Midnight, it is!
Ma-Ti: What do you think
he will do to us, Ronnie?
Who knows.
That fool is gone.
No tellin' what he'll do.
Hey, hey, come on, man.
I was just bluffin'.
You know I'm no squealer.
[ Glass breaks, laughter ]
Not now, you ain't!
We must get under the smoke!
[ Both coughing ]
If someone doesn't
find us soon, we're over!
[ Indistinct conversation ]
Just a couple of minutes,
and the Evil Eds
get educated.
We're here for my brother!
I told you, we ain't
seen the sped.
If things get out of hand,
we will be forced
to blow our cover.
But if we do,
we may never find Ma-Ti!
Come on! Let's wreck the crew!
Wait, Clayton, don't!
Julie, get outta here!
Go home, girl!
We must hold our fire.
She may know where Ronnie is.
Ronnie saw who shot
Mr. King.
And -- and he told me.
Who? Spill it!
It-- it was...
Fire!
Ow!
What's goin' down?
It -- it was Zap!
He shot Mr. King!
And he just tried
to off your sister!
I'll teach you to open
your mouth, girl!
I'll teach all of you!
That's enough!
Water!
Ugh! Ah!
Wah!
What?
Ah! Ugh!
Gi, you don't
really wanna do this!
Yes, I do!
This is his way,
Gi, not yours!
[ Sighs, sobs ]
It's all right, Gi.
It's okay.
[ Choking, coughing ]
What's your story, Zap?
Yeah! What've you done
to my brother?
Don't matter.
It's too late.
Ma-Ti.
[ Coughing ]
Got it.
Heart.
Need help!
Quickly, Planeteers.
We're comin', buddy.
Hit it, Kwame!
Let our powers combine!
Earth!
Fire!
Wind!
Water!
Heart!
By your powers combined,
I am Captain Planet!
I don't wanna be a pain.
But I see a window
of opportunity.
You do know smoking's bad
for your health?
[ Glass breaking,
boys coughing ]
Are they all right?
Ma-Ti!
They'll be okay.
But I've gotta stop this fire
before it toasts the town!
Nothing like a wild ride
to get rid of an old flame.
Man, Zap, you sure did
a piece of work this time.
[ Coughing ]
Ronnie, are you okay?
How many times
I gotta tell you
to stay away
from that sped!
Shut your --
Hasn't there been
enough fighting?
First, Mr. King
takes a bullet.
And now, Ronnie and Ma-Ti
were nearly fried!
Hey, man, that was Zap!
You're just as guilty as Zap!
Maybe you didn't pull
the trigger or start the fire.
But you may as well have.
As long as you continue
telling your gangs
to use guns and violence,
you're to blame too.
Can't you see?
It's time to stop wrecking
and start really educating.
And the first step is a truce.
Gi's right.
Peace or war,
it's your choice.
Stop the violence.
Declare a truce.
King, Jr.: I have a dream.
It is a dream deeply rooted
in the American dream.
This nation will rise up
and live out the true
meaning of its creed,
that all men
are created equal.
The Neville Brothers:
* December 1st, 1955
* Our freedom
movement came alive *
* And because of
Sister Rosa you know *
King, Jr.: Let us not seek to
satisfy our thirst for freedom
by drinking from the cup
of bitterness and hatred.
I still have a dream!
* ...not a scene
from an angry mob *
* A bus driver said,
Lady, you got to get up *
* 'Cause a white person
wants that seat" *
* But Ms. Rosa said,
No, not no more *
* I'm gonna stay here
and rest my feet *
* Yeah, thank you, Miss Rosa
* You are the spark
* You started our freedom
movement *
King, Jr.: I have a dream.
* Thank you,
Sister Rosa Parks *
King, Jr.:
That my four little children...
* Thank you, Miss Rosa
King, Jr.:
Will one day live in a nation
where they will not be judged
by the color of their skin
but by the content
of their character.
One day, little black boys
and black girls
will be able to join hands
with little white boys
and white girls
as sisters and brothers.
With this faith,
we will be able to transform
the jangling discords
of our nation
into a beautiful symphony
of brotherhood.
Mr. King: You are the future
they lived for,
dreamed for, died for.
But their hopes
and dreams are not dead,
for their spirit
can live on in you
if you stop the violence,
stop the gangs,
stop the killing,
stop the crime
and share the dream
of better, happier life.
I don't know, man. Maybe,
we can work somethin' out.
Yeah, maybe.
[ Applause ]
The power is yours!
King, Jr.: Free at last!
Free at last!
Thank god almighty,
we are free at last!
So what's gonna
happen to Zap?
We're gonna let
the courts decide.
Uh, how 'bout comin'
along and explainin'
just who you guys really are.
Uh, us?
Uh, we're just average kids
tryin' to help make
a better world.
Any word on Mr. King?
Gi has gone in to check.
David's gonna make it!
Oh, thank goodness!
And I'm especially happy
about the truce
between the Evil Eds
and the Wrecking Crew.
You know, goin' back
to school was kinda fun.
Da. I think we have
all learned a lot.
Ronnie and Julie have proved
that kids can get along,
no matter where
they come from.
Now, that's a lesson
worth learning.
Da.
Yes.
Go, Planet!
It's nuts, but in the U.S.,
one out of every
four teenage deaths
is caused by guns.
And the problem is no longer
limited to the inner city.
It now reaches from poor,
urban neighborhoods
to the suburbs of the Heartland.
There is nothing cool
about kids carrying guns.
Many people have
given their lives,
so we can all walk free.
Let's honor their vision
and work to put an end
to the violence
and create a world of peace.
The power is yours!
Go, Planet!
Sustainable industries are
our best hope for the future.
Wheeler: Overgrazing can
destroy the land.
Linka: But sustainable ranching
techniques help preserve it.
Clear-cutting old-growth
forest destroys
an irreplaceable resource.
But selective logging
preserves the environment
and future jobs!
Gaia: So whether it's fishing,
farming and other big businesses
or simply recycling
in your home,
we must all do our part.
The power is yours!
Earth!
Fire!
-Wind!
-Water!
Heart!
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.
She sends five magic rings
to five special young people:
Kwame, from Africa,
with the power of Earth!
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!

Listen, jerk!
Keep your mouth shut!
Real brave,
picking on a kid.
Yeah, maybe,
you're more my size.
Uh-oh, trouble.
[ Chatter ]
It's suicide to stay here.
Yo, we outta here!
You cool, Ronnie?
You all right, man?
Are you okay?
Yeah, thanks to Kwame.
What have you done
to Ronnie?
Nothin'.
We haven't seen the sped
since school.
You're lyin'!
Ronnie was supposed
to meet me to study.
And he'd have shown up unless --
Girl, I told you!
We ain't done nothin'!
But we will,
as soon as we find him.
Main-Dog knows you got Ronnie.
Have him back by midnight.
Or it's on at the Wave Thrill.
Main-Dog can have his war.
But I'm tellin' you,
we don't know where Ronnie is.
Right.
[Whispering]
Ma-Ti is missing, too.
[Whispering]
He must be with Ronnie.
Midnight, it is!
Ma-Ti: What do you think
he will do to us, Ronnie?
Who knows.
That fool is gone.
No tellin' what he'll do.
Hey, hey, come on, man.
I was just bluffin'.
You know I'm no squealer.
[ Glass breaks, laughter ]
Not now, you ain't!
We must get under the smoke!
[ Both coughing ]
If someone doesn't
find us soon, we're over!
[ Indistinct conversation ]
Just a couple of minutes,
and the Evil Eds
get educated.
We're here for my brother!
I told you, we ain't
seen the sped.
If things get out of hand,
we will be forced
to blow our cover.
But if we do,
we may never find Ma-Ti!
Come on! Let's wreck the crew!
Wait, Clayton, don't!
Julie, get outta here!
Go home, girl!
We must hold our fire.
She may know where Ronnie is.
Ronnie saw who shot
Mr. King.
And -- and he told me.
Who? Spill it!
It-- it was...
Fire!
Ow!
What's goin' down?
It -- it was Zap!
He shot Mr. King!
And he just tried
to off your sister!
I'll teach you to open
your mouth, girl!
I'll teach all of you!
That's enough!
Water!
Ugh! Ah!
Wah!
What?
Ah! Ugh!
Gi, you don't
really wanna do this!
Yes, I do!
This is his way,
Gi, not yours!
[ Sighs, sobs ]
It's all right, Gi.
It's okay.
[ Choking, coughing ]
What's your story, Zap?
Yeah! What've you done
to my brother?
Don't matter.
It's too late.
Ma-Ti.
[ Coughing ]
Got it.
Heart.
Need help!
Quickly, Planeteers.
We're comin', buddy.
Hit it, Kwame!
Let our powers combine!
Earth!
Fire!
Wind!
Water!
Heart!
By your powers combined,
I am Captain Planet!
I don't wanna be a pain.
But I see a window
of opportunity.
You do know smoking's bad
for your health?
[ Glass breaking,
boys coughing ]
Are they all right?
Ma-Ti!
They'll be okay.
But I've gotta stop this fire
before it toasts the town!
Nothing like a wild ride
to get rid of an old flame.
Man, Zap, you sure did
a piece of work this time.
[ Coughing ]
Ronnie, are you okay?
How many times
I gotta tell you
to stay away
from that sped!
Shut your --
Hasn't there been
enough fighting?
First, Mr. King
takes a bullet.
And now, Ronnie and Ma-Ti
were nearly fried!
Hey, man, that was Zap!
You're just as guilty as Zap!
Maybe you didn't pull
the trigger or start the fire.
But you may as well have.
As long as you continue
telling your gangs
to use guns and violence,
you're to blame too.
Can't you see?
It's time to stop wrecking
and start really educating.
And the first step is a truce.
Gi's right.
Peace or war,
it's your choice.
Stop the violence.
Declare a truce.
King, Jr.: I have a dream.
It is a dream deeply rooted
in the American dream.
This nation will rise up
and live out the true
meaning of its creed,
that all men
are created equal.
The Neville Brothers:
* December 1st, 1955
* Our freedom
movement came alive *
* And because of
Sister Rosa you know *
King, Jr.: Let us not seek to
satisfy our thirst for freedom
by drinking from the cup
of bitterness and hatred.
I still have a dream!
* ...not a scene
from an angry mob *
* A bus driver said,
Lady, you got to get up *
* 'Cause a white person
wants that seat" *
* But Ms. Rosa said,
No, not no more *
* I'm gonna stay here
and rest my feet *
* Yeah, thank you, Miss Rosa
* You are the spark
* You started our freedom
movement *
King, Jr.: I have a dream.
* Thank you,
Sister Rosa Parks *
King, Jr.:
That my four little children...
* Thank you, Miss Rosa
King, Jr.:
Will one day live in a nation
where they will not be judged
by the color of their skin
but by the content
of their character.
One day, little black boys
and black girls
will be able to join hands
with little white boys
and white girls
as sisters and brothers.
With this faith,
we will be able to transform
the jangling discords
of our nation
into a beautiful symphony
of brotherhood.
Mr. King: You are the future
they lived for,
dreamed for, died for.
But their hopes
and dreams are not dead,
for their spirit
can live on in you
if you stop the violence,
stop the gangs,
stop the killing,
stop the crime
and share the dream
of better, happier life.
I don't know, man. Maybe,
we can work somethin' out.
Yeah, maybe.
[ Applause ]
The power is yours!
King, Jr.: Free at last!
Free at last!
Thank god almighty,
we are free at last!
So what's gonna
happen to Zap?
We're gonna let
the courts decide.
Uh, how 'bout comin'
along and explainin'
just who you guys really are.
Uh, us?
Uh, we're just average kids
tryin' to help make
a better world.
Any word on Mr. King?
Gi has gone in to check.
David's gonna make it!
Oh, thank goodness!
And I'm especially happy
about the truce
between the Evil Eds
and the Wrecking Crew.
You know, goin' back
to school was kinda fun.
Da. I think we have
all learned a lot.
Ronnie and Julie have proved
that kids can get along,
no matter where
they come from.
Now, that's a lesson
worth learning.
Da.
Yes.
Go, Planet!
It's nuts, but in the U.S.,
one out of every
four teenage deaths
is caused by guns.
And the problem is no longer
limited to the inner city.
It now reaches from poor,
urban neighborhoods
to the suburbs of the Heartland.
There is nothing cool
about kids carrying guns.
Many people have
given their lives,
so we can all walk free.
Let's honor their vision
and work to put an end
to the violence
and create a world of peace.
The power is yours!
Go, Planet!
Sustainable industries are
our best hope for the future.
Wheeler: Overgrazing can
destroy the land.
Linka: But sustainable ranching
techniques help preserve it.
Clear-cutting old-growth
forest destroys
an irreplaceable resource.
But selective logging
preserves the environment
and future jobs!
Gaia: So whether it's fishing,
farming and other big businesses
or simply recycling
in your home,
we must all do our part.
The power is yours!
Earth!
Fire!
-Wind!
-Water!
Heart!
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!
