Captain Planet and the Planeteers (1990–1996): Season 5, Episode 1 - Twilight Ozone - 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!
**
This is incredible.
What is, Kwame?
This article.
It is about how sheep
are going blind in Chile.
I know why, aliens.
Aliens?
Give it up, Ma-Ti.
No, really.
Listen.
"Cattle found mysteriously
mangled in Ozarks."
It says there
were big burn marks
where the spaceship landed.
You can't believe
what you read in this rag.
But it does say,
"Elvis was spotted
at a Shop 'n Save in Cleveland."
[ Laughter ]
Well, you can laugh.
But I think aliens
are out there.
Remember "E.T."?
Oh, yeah.
They're out there, watching,
waiting, plotting
their next move.
Oh, we're out here,
all right, Wheeler.
But not all of us are aliens.
Your article is right, Kwame.
But the problem
is not just in Chile.
Really?
The same things are happening
in other parts of the world.
Chile is just one
of the hardest hit.
I was hoping you
could investigate.
We are on it, Gaia.
Good luck, Planeteers.
I think the Space
Administration Center
is a good place
to start investigating.
I'm not so sure.
With them, UFOs and aliens
are one big cover-up.
Then perhaps we should
check out Chile for clues.
Let's get started.
[ Sheep bleating ]
I'm telling you, there are
actually UFO landing strips.
You can see them from the air.
South America
is very popular with aliens.
It is worse than I imagined.
More of my herd
goes blind every day.
And no one can tell me why.
[ Plaintive bleating ]
Some even died because
they can not find their food.
Check this out.
It looks like some
kind of rash or burn.
Cataracts too.
I wonder if the problem
could be related to the sun.
More like Mars
and Martians.
The sheep in my barn are
the only ones who are not sick.
Why is this happening?
I'm sorry.
We do not know yet.
But you have the Planeteers
pledge that we will find out.
Hopefully, Linka and Gi
have learned something.
Any luck?
Ugh.
Global warming trends,
airborne contaminant paths,
declining vegetation patterns.
All very depressing,
but nothing seems
to tie together.
I found several reports
of cattle blindness.
One of them was written
by our friend,
Sam Corroboree,
in Australia.
Hmm.
Australia, Chile
and blinded livestock?
Maybe if we ask the computer
to cross-reference them,
we'll turn up something.
Maybe.
Gi: Okay. Let's go
over this again.
All occurrences so far are
in the Southern Hemisphere.
Australia, South America...
Then we have cataracts,
skin cancer.
Do not forget
alien abductions.
[ Chuckles ]
Ma-Ti.
Gi: Ma-Ti, this doesn't
point to aliens.
It points to ozone.
Oh, I've heard of that show,
"The Twilight O-Zone."
You see?
The ozone hole is largely
over Chile and Australia.
I have contacted Sam
in Australia.
He is interested in doing
a follow-up story
and wants to meet us
in the outback.
Linka: Why did Sam want
to meet us here?
Kwame: I do not know.
But he said
to bring all our research.
Sam.
Good day, mates.
Welcome to Australia.
What is this place?
Oh, this here's a special
research facility.
They're studyin' the ozone
hole and its effects.
What's with the suitcase?
Slop, slap, slip for all of ya.
[ Laughing ]
What?
What are you talking about?
It's a new Aussie tradition.
Everyone who goes outside's
got to slop on sunblock,
slap on a hat and slip
on a pair of sunglasses.
It's mandatory
for all schoolkids.
Doesn't sound like much fun.
It's not, mate.
But it's better
than gettin' skin cancer.
Thanks for seein' us,
Dr. Roddenberry.
Always happy to oblige
the press, Sam.
This place is right out of one
of your science-fiction movies.
Gi: What's happened
to these animals?
You might say they are, uh,
the species of the future.
They are mutated.
We prefer to call them
"evolved."
What in the w--
[ Lowing, growling ]
Oh, strange.
Now what, Ma-Ti?
I do not want to talk
about it, okay?
Dr. Roddenberry, how did
these animals get like this?
Roddenberry: Well, it may seem
strange at first.
But they're actually improved.
They don't look improved.
They're better suited to exist
under the increased radiation
caused by the ozone hole.
We're helping nature
to find ways to adapt to live
without ozone protection.
Well, what about helping nature
by finding ways
to replace the things
we do that cause
ozone depletion?
Not practical,
that would require
the cooperation of nations
all around the world.
Besides, it's less marketable.
Adaptation is where
the money is these days.
Here's a sim tank
approximating how Earth's
atmosphere will be after
the Earth's ozone layer
is destroyed.
We anticipate
great progress now
that we've discovered
the most incredible specimen.
Now you will see.
They are doing experiments
on an alien they captured
at a UFO crash site.
You're beginning
to alienate me, Ma-Ti.
Then what is that?
Whoa.
Maybe Ma-Ti's right.
Duke Nukem?!
Planet brats?!
Ah!
Ah!
It's -- it's okay.
Now, just settle down.
Water.
I thought you would handle
my little legal problem.
Uh, relax, Mr. Nukem.
You're perfectly safe.
The, uh, Planeteers are here
for research purposes only.
Lucky for them.
I've got your favorites,
Mr. Nukem, sir,
battery-fluid shake,
toxic sludge,
and a radioactive malt.
How can he drink that stuff?
It'd kill a cow.
Anyone want a slug?
Ah, well wrap me in lead
and call me a glowworm.
I'm partying with
the Planet Patrol.
I cannot believe this monster
is part of a legitimate
research project.
We're quite aware
of Mr. Nukem's, uh, misdealings.
But his value
to research certainly
outweighs his past minor
indiscretions.
Minor indiscretions?
They're popping me
a pretty penny too.
Cheers!
Thanks to Mr. Nukem,
our research will
help the world adapt
to the increased radiation
as pollution destroys
the ozone layer.
Just think, someday kids
everywhere'll be working for me,
Duke Nukem and the Nuketeers.
[ Laughs ]
Bozhe moi!
Doctor, we must alert people
to what is causing the hole
so that we can stop it
from growing!
Not just mutate life.
At least look
at the documentation.
Very well.
I'll speak with the others.
More X-rays, Mr. Nukem?
Get lost.
I'm busy.
What could possibly
be more interesting than me?
Well, the evidence
is compelling.
Perhaps, in addition
to our current work,
we can also research ways
to protect the ozone layer.
Excuse me.
Did I hear something about
protecting the ozone layer?
Why? Who needs it?
Uh, r-- relax, Mr. Nukem.
Now, you'll still have a job.
You don't get it, Doc.
If people learn how important
the ozone layer is,
they might actually
stop destroying it
and spoil my shot
at a glowing new world.
We can't let that happen,
can we?
A few years and a lot less ozone
will cook up
a lovely planet fricassee.
But until then,
deep-fried Planeteers'll
make an excellent appetizer.
[ Duke Nukem laughing ]
[ All groaning ]
[ Screaming ]
Get this offa me!
Everybody out!
[ Struggling ]
Come on! Let's go!
Come on. Through here.
Hurry!
Let our powers combine.
Earth.
Fire.
Wind.
Water.
Heart.
By your powers combined,
I am Captain Planet!
Go, Planet!
Argh!
Taking care of you will be
a lead-pipe cinch.
Linka:
I'm glad that is over.
Gi: Yeah.
[ Gasps ]
Something's wrong.
Ah, the sun sure
is hot today.
Ugh!
Try a double dose.
Ah, can't you just feel
those harmful
UV rays searing your skin,
frying your eyes?
Ain't it grand?
[ Laughing ]
I do believe you're
on my turf, Captain Kaput.
[ Groaning ]
Captain Planet!
[ Gasping ]
Must, uh, recharge.
The power is yours!
Actually, it's mine.
Come on.
Let's get out of here.
Come on.
Head for the Rover.
Come on. We gotta go.
Let's get outta here.
Come on.
Come in.
Charlie, Tango, Five.
Charlie, Tango, Five.
Emergency,
Ozone Research Facility.
Need coverage.
Who's he callin'?
Hope they're having fun, rah,
'cause I'm havin' a blast.
[ Screaming ]
Give it up, eco-geeks.
The nearest town
is miles away.
Swell.
Either we get roasted
by Mr. Meltdown,
or we risk getting
toasted in the outback.
Don't sweat it, mates.
All we got to worry
about is snakes, razorbacks,
dust storms and the sun.
Ah, thanks for
easin' our minds.
Actually, it's not so bad.
My people have
weathered the outback
for thousands of years.
You just gotta
cooperate with nature.
[ Screaming ]
Tell me, are razorbacks
really dangerous?
Only when you startle 'em.
Why?
Um...
Because I think
we startled them.
Right. Trapped between
a knife and a nuke.
I can handle that.
Heart.
Oh, Planeteers?
Ready or not,
here I come.
But I cannot handle that.
I will try.
Wind.
Nukem: Now what?
[ Coughing ]
Whoa!
I was just giving nature a hand.
Ow! Hey, whoa!
You eco-chums really
blew it this time.
Over here, clumsy.
Got ya.
Ah!
Uh-oh.
Oh!
It worked.
Nice shootin', mate!
[ Groaning ]
I know how to bring
those punks outta hiding.
If we're gonna stay out here,
we'll need more sunblock.
Or we've gotta find cover.
Yeah. I'm cooked.
I wish Nukem would
make his move.
Hurry it up.
Coming, Mr. Nukem.
Oh, Planeteers?
It's gonna be a hot time
in the outback tonight.
Now, you CF-see.
Now, you don't.
He's releasing
huge amounts of CFCs.
What about the fires?
The scientists
are still inside.
Wait'll you see
this big baby blow.
[ Laughing ]
We can't just sit here.
Come on.
Hurry, Sam!
Water.
Earth.
I wouldn't do that
if I were you.
Gi!
I knew you geo-goodies
couldn't resist
saving the day.
Now into the building,
or the squirt here
gets a permanent sunburn.
Well, how 'bout that?
My call got through.
Who'd you call? The Air Force?
The Army?
Worse, the press corps.
All right.
Way to go, Sam.
You created quite
a news event, mate.
We are in the outback,
reporting live from
the Ozone Research Facility.
Sam: I've been trying to get
the media interested
in this place for months.
Man: The facility seems
to be under siege
by some kind of...
What is that thing?
I'll give 'em
something to report.
Come on, lead-head.
We're gonna blow this joint
into a million pieces.
Do we have to, boss?
Are you okay?
Yeah.
The sun's going down.
And Nukem hasn't had
a chance to rejuice.
Maybe we could try Cap again.
Let our powers combine.
Earth.
Fire.
Wind.
Water.
Heart.
By your powers combined,
I am Captain Planet!
I never get burned twice.
It's slop, slap, slip for me.
Slop...
Slap...
And slip.
Captain Planet is
about to confront
that horrible-looking
orange creature.
Call it a day, Nukem.
Not until I've put
your lights out, Planet.
Well, then it's slop, slip,
slap for you too.
First, some slop...
Whoa!
Make you slip.
Ah!
No!
And now for
the big slap.
It's amazing.
Captain Planet has subdued
the terrorists.
Nukem's gonna spend the rest
of his half-life in prison.
The power is yours!
Dr. Roddenberry.
Tell us about your research.
What is the condition
of the ozone hole?
Roddenberry:
But we can not stress enough
the importance
of protecting ozone
and other natural
atmospheric gases
from CFCs, smog,
and industrial pollution
starting right now.
Good work, Planeteers.
Linka:
Thanks, Gaia.
Yeah.
You solved the puzzle
and brought attention
to a critical situation.
See you back
at Hope Island.
All right.
See ya later.
Ma-Ti, my man, now maybe
you'll come down to Earth
and forget about
all that alien junk.
What was that?
Nah.
Go, Planet!
Each of us can do things
to help stop
the depletion of Earth's
protective atmosphere.
Like using solar-powered lights
outside instead of electric.
Or replacing regular lightbulbs
with low-energy
compact fluorescents.
Opening a window instead
of using air-conditioning.
And dispose of Freon
in your air conditioner
and refrigerator,
even in car
air conditioners, properly.
So do your part.
Reduce, reuse, recycle.
The power is yours.
Go, Planet!
We live in
a disposable society.
But our resources
are not endless.
So we have to conserve them.
We must recycle.
But many things can be reused
before they are recycled.
Kwame: Paper lunch bags,
for example.
Gi:
And plastic grocery bags too.
You can build lotsa cool
things out of wood scraps
and other discarded materials.
Like birdhouses or doghouses.
Use your imagination to
reuse things around the house.
Remember, 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

When the five powers combine,
they summon Earth's

I'll give 'em
something to report.
Come on, lead-head.
We're gonna blow this joint
into a million pieces.
Do we have to, boss?
Are you okay?
Yeah.
The sun's going down.
And Nukem hasn't had
a chance to rejuice.
Maybe we could try Cap again.
Let our powers combine.
Earth.
Fire.
Wind.
Water.
Heart.
By your powers combined,
I am Captain Planet!
I never get burned twice.
It's slop, slap, slip for me.
Slop...
Slap...
And slip.
Captain Planet is
about to confront
that horrible-looking
orange creature.
Call it a day, Nukem.
Not until I've put
your lights out, Planet.
Well, then it's slop, slip,
slap for you too.
First, some slop...
Whoa!
Make you slip.
Ah!
No!
And now for
the big slap.
It's amazing.
Captain Planet has subdued
the terrorists.
Nukem's gonna spend the rest
of his half-life in prison.
The power is yours!
Dr. Roddenberry.
Tell us about your research.
What is the condition
of the ozone hole?
Roddenberry:
But we can not stress enough
the importance
of protecting ozone
and other natural
atmospheric gases
from CFCs, smog,
and industrial pollution
starting right now.
Good work, Planeteers.
Linka:
Thanks, Gaia.
Yeah.
You solved the puzzle
and brought attention
to a critical situation.
See you back
at Hope Island.
All right.
See ya later.
Ma-Ti, my man, now maybe
you'll come down to Earth
and forget about
all that alien junk.
What was that?
Nah.
Go, Planet!
Each of us can do things
to help stop
the depletion of Earth's
protective atmosphere.
Like using solar-powered lights
outside instead of electric.
Or replacing regular lightbulbs
with low-energy
compact fluorescents.
Opening a window instead
of using air-conditioning.
And dispose of Freon
in your air conditioner
and refrigerator,
even in car
air conditioners, properly.
So do your part.
Reduce, reuse, recycle.
The power is yours.
Go, Planet!
We live in
a disposable society.
But our resources
are not endless.
So we have to conserve them.
We must recycle.
But many things can be reused
before they are recycled.
Kwame: Paper lunch bags,
for example.
Gi:
And plastic grocery bags too.
You can build lotsa cool
things out of wood scraps
and other discarded materials.
Like birdhouses or doghouses.
Use your imagination to
reuse things around the house.
Remember, the power is yours.
Earth!
Fire!
-Wind!
-Water!
Heart!
Go, Planet!
