Captain Planet and the Planeteers (1990–1996): Season 5, Episode 6 - A River Ran Through It - 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!
[ Birds calling ]
**
[ Alligator growls ]
[ Bird calls ]
[ Frog croaks ]
[ Bird squawks ]
[ Growls ]
They're still on us!
Then take care of them!
**
Step on it, Linka!
I step-onning it!
Aah!
They're getting away!
I'm not so sure.
All right!
The cops made it in time!
[ Helicopter blades whirring ]
Man: Police -- back away
from your weapons
and cut your engines.
Good work, Planeteers.
Ma-Ti: It is time to lock up
the poachers.
And free the animals.
[ Alligator growls ]
**
Mail call.
More letters from
our Planeteer friends
around the world.
Since I've got my hands full,
how about reading them aloud?
Listen to this --
"Dear Planeteers,
our local beach was so trashed
that a group of us from school
decided to do something
about it.
We had a great time
working together,
making the beach safe
for wildlife
and more fun for us."
It's good to know
we're not working alone.
This letter is
from a group of Planeteers
who are planting trees
in their neighborhood
to prevent erosion.
**
I wish mine
was as positive.
What's it say,
Ma-Ti?
It is from a Planeteer
named Jeff who has lost heart.
He says he cannot stop them
from cutting all the trees
and killing the fish.
I don't get it.
What's it mean?
I am not sure.
We have a little time.
Let's investigate.
Pacific Northwest,
here we come.
[ Echoing ] Timber!
[ Chain saw revs ]
I'm telling you, sir, cutting
close to the river is dangerous.
There will be nothing left
to hold the mountain up.
Who cares
about that slop?
I'm selling
every stick of timber.
But, sir,
the fisherman --
Do it! [ Snorts ]
Come on, Rigger,
let's head to town.
It's almost
dinnertime.
[ Engine starts ]
[ Tires squeal ]
Okay, men, the boss says
we cut right to the river.
[ Chain saws rev ]
**
What are those
loggers doing?
Handler,
are you insane?
You agreed you wouldn't
clear-cut this far!
Boss' orders, Bill.
You'll destroy
the river!
It's so beautiful.
Maybe on your side.
But over here,
it is a wasteland.
Check it out.
**
[ Rumbling ]
[ Gasps ] Avalanche!
Avalanche!
We must
do something!
Let our powers combine.
Earth!
Fire!
Wind!
Water!
Heart!
By your powers combined,
I am Captain Planet!
I've heard of mudslinging,
but this is ridiculous.
Time to pitch in!
[ Indistinct shouting ]
**
[ Grunting ]
What's he trying...
What's going on?
[ Men murmuring ]
[ Rumbling ]
I'm not big on changing
the face of mother nature.
But it was either hers or yours.
[ Geo-Crusier approaching ]
[ Engine shuts off ]
The immediate
danger's over,
but the root of the problem
still remains.
The power is yours!
He's the problem!
He's killing the river.
Hey!
You don't know what
you're talking about.
Jeff's letter
is beginning to make sense.
You shouldn't clear-cut
a hillside above a river.
Hey, the boss told us
to cut it down.
Maybe
if we follow these guys,
we can get to
the bottom of this.
I sure hope they're heading
somewhere with food.
I'm so hungry
I could eat a horse...
burger.
Man: We're tired
of your griping.
Man #2: Well, then,
stop wrecking the land!
The sound is practically
fished-out anyway.
[ All arguing ]
When you're done,
there won't be a tree standing!
All right!
Here comes the grub.
Man #3: Oh, yeah?!
That's what you think!
Oh, all this arguing
is ruining my appetite.
Not mine!
You loggers
don't give a hoot!
Salmon in the Northwest
are on the brink of extinction.
So are our jobs!
But you're wiping out our jobs
by wiping out the fish!
Without trees to
shade the river,
the water
gets too hot for salmon.
Yeah! And silt and gravel
from clear-cutting
have already destroyed
many spawning grounds.
But we're not gonna
let it happen here!
I'll second that!
You don't understand!
What are you,
a tree hugger?
[ Swallows ]
You might say that.
What are you folks doing here
anyway?
Visiting a friend.
His name is Jeff Handler.
Does anyone know him?
He's my boy.
What do you want with him?
Would you just tell him
that the Planeteers
have come to see him?
Yeah, right.
What are the planet-pains
doing here, boss?
Here's your grub.
I don't want it
anymore.
I'm not hungry.
Box it to go.
Not hungry?
Are you sick, boss?
Yeah. Sick of those
putrid Planeteers.
[ All arguing ]
Greedly: But a little fat
on the fire
will turn this rivalry
into all-out war.
[ Snorts ]
Then the Planeteers will
find themselves in hot water!
[ Vehicle approaching ]
This is it.
Arrisa, look!
The Planeteers!
It's really the Planeteers!
[ Dog barks ]
Dad was right!
So he did tell.
What are you doing here?
We got your letter.
We came
to lend a hand.
That's fantastic.
But how?
Let's start
at the beginning.
Jeff: Dad and I used to
fish here.
But logging and road building
wrecked the stream.
This water
used to be full of fish.
Now look at it.
What a waste.
Bill!
It's hard to imagine
the Pacific Northwest
without salmon, isn't it?
But that's where
we're headed.
Come on, Jeff.
Let's show your friends
what's happening
on the main river.
I cannot believe that salmon
can fight these currents.
Yeah. They swim hundreds
of miles just to lay their eggs.
Right, but between
dams blocking their way,
overfishing,
and problems like we got here,
the salmon
haven't much chance.
[ Dog barking ]
[ Engine idling ]
Hey, Jeff, what are you doing
with that job-wrecker?
You can't stop him from
seeing the mess you're
making of the river!
You're filling that boys head
with lies!
Hard to believe your dad and I
were best friends
before this mess started.
[ Brakes hiss ]
**
Wheeler: Look out!
Oh, no!
[ Indistinct shouting ]
Wind!
[ Wind rushing ]
[ Indistinct shouting ]
Oh!
[ Water splashes ]
Aah!
[ Dog whines ]
[ Dog barking ]
Earth!
**
Is everyone all right?
Jeff? Where is Jeff?
There he is!
[ Dog barking ]
Gi: Hurry!
Ugh!
[ Dog whines ]
[ Dog barking ]
[ Gasps ]
Toby!
Toby!
Wheeler: Fire!
Got it!
He's being
swept away!
Gi: I'll handle this.
Water!
[ Jeff coughs ]
Take it easy.
Oh, that was close!
[ Engine shuts off ]
Jeff,
are you all right?
I heard on the CB.
I'm okay, Dad,
thanks to
the Planeteers.
How'd this happen?
I-It was just
an accident.
It was no accident!
The cable was cut!
Why would anyone do that?
Isn't it obvious?
I'm the hatchery owner.
Get rid of me and my supporters
in one fell swoop.
That's crazy. My own son
was nearly killed!
Yeah? Well, so was I!
How dare you?!
You're trying to put me
out of business!
Where do you get off?
[ All arguing ]
The boss was right.
Yep, yep.
It don't take much
to start a war.
Now to spike the odds
against the other side.
Wheeler: That smells great!
What's cooking?
Trout. Dad and Jeff
caught it last week.
Jeff tells us
you like to fish.
Sure.
I love the river.
Then how can you --
I'm just doing my job
so I can take care of my family.
But does it have to be
one extreme or the other?
Kwame: Ma-Ti is right.
There must be a compromise
that will work for both sides.
Sam!
Trouble at the mill!
Someone spiked a tree
and busted the saw blade.
It's a miracle
no one got hurt.
Bill's gone too far
this time.
Round up the men. We're gonna
settle this once and for all.
Dad, wait!
I cannot believe
Bill would do that.
Me neither.
But then who?
Jeff, who owns
the logging operation?
It was sold recently
to a guy named...Greedly?
Hoggish Greedly?
Yeah! That's it.
That's it,
all right!
**
Well, that's it, then!
[ Indistinct shouting ]
[ Tires squeal ]
Spiking our trees
is the last straw!
Yeah? Well,
we're sick of your kind!
Get out of here!
[ Men arguing ]
Take it easy, you guys.
Da! We know who is behind
the sabotage.
Nobody gets away
with spiking trees!
Oh, yeah? What are you
gonna do about it?
Tempers
are too hot.
Water!
[ Men arguing ]
What's going on?
Just cooling you off
so you'll listen.
We know who is behind
all of the accidents.
Hoggish Greedly.
Huh?
It doesn't make
any sense.
Why would he
want to do that?
Why would he sabotage
his own operation?
To keep you from working
together to solve the problem.
What do you mean?
Once you strip the forests,
your jobs will be gone.
Linka:
Sustainable logging techniques
will protect your jobs
and the rivers.
[ Dog sniffing, growls ]
Greedly: What's happening?
Why haven't those hamhocks
burned the joint down?
Something's fishy, boss.
Yep, yep, fishy.
The planet-pests are
talking them into teamwork.
[ Snorts ] That really
curls my tail.
Well, if they won't do it
my way,
then I'll do it my way!
There will be nothing
left but fish bones!
[ Laughs ]
[ Dog growls ]
We better warn
the Planeteers, boy.
Got to go, boss.
[ Dog barks ]
Got you,
you little snoop!
Yep, yep!
Ugh! Toby, get help!
[ Dog barking ]
[ Muffled ]
Let go of me!
[ Engine starts ]
[ Men arguing ]
[ Dog barking ]
Heart!
Something is wrong.
I sense Jeff is in trouble.
Huh? Let me
and my men help.
We don't need
your help.
It's okay.
The most important thing
is to find my boy.
You follow the dog, we will
track you in the Geo-Cruiser.
Greedly: Rigger,
see if the tanks are full yet.
Rigger:
I don't get it, boss.
If the fuel tanks
are full of weed killer,
how are we gonna fly?
The reserve tanks
will keep us up long enough
to have
a successful accident.
[ Snorts ]
When the plane crashes,
the herbicide will kill
the forest and the river!
Then no one will stop me
from clear-cutting!
I'll be in hog heaven!
[ Laughs ]
What do we do
with the kid?
Bring him. He can test
the toxicity!
[ Engine starts ]
[ Dog barking ]
[ Dog whines ]
**
It looks like Toby's
chasing that plane.
Heart!
Jeff is inside.
Greedly has him!
Then let's hit it!
[ Dog barking ]
Uh-oh, boss.
Planet-pains at 5:00.
Uh, 7:00!
On our butt!
Relax. What are they gonna do,
shoot us down?
We want to crash the plane,
remember?
Come on!
Let's save our bacon.
What about the kid?
We only got
two parachutes.
Either give him yours
or say "bye-bye."
Sorry, kid. I hope you have
your pilot's license.
Yep, yep.
Geronimo-o-o-o!
Gi: Where's Jeff?
That greed monger wouldn't
leave him to crash, would he?
[ Grunting ]
Jeff will never land that thing
alone. We've got to help him.
Wheeler, if you get us
over the plane,
I can, how you say,
drop in on him.
It's pretty risky, babe.
That's plane's
not steady enough.
We have to try, Wheeler.
Get ready, Linka!
Now!
Aah!
Wheeler: Linka!
All right!
She's gonna make it.
I can't believe it.
I thought I was a goner.
[ Engine sputters ]
Bozhe moi! Out of gas!
[ Alarm beeping ]
But the fuel tank
reads full.
They are --
full of herbicide.
Plant poison?
Something's wrong.
They're going down!
Time for
a team beam.
Let our powers combine.
Earth!
Fire!
Wind!
Water!
Heart!
By your powers combined,
I am Captain Planet!
I'd better hurry.
I've got a plane to catch.
Whoa-ho-ho-ho!
Those pine needles tickle.
Ugh! Touchdown!
Thanks, Cap!
Wow! It's really
Captain Planet!
It's nice to meet
a fellow environmentalist.
[ Dog barking ]
Rigger: Get us down!
[ Snorts ]
Ha! Looks like Greedly's
out on a limb again.
If we don't overlog
or overfish,
there will be plenty of work
for all of us.
And our children.
So, Jeff, your letter said
you weren't sure
you wanted to be
a Planeteer anymore.
Can we change your mind?
You already did.
You showed me that the power
really is ours
to make a difference.
That's right...
Planeteer.
Check it out, Toby!
I'm a Planeteer!
[ Dog barks ]
Planeteers: Go, Planet!
As Planeteers,
we can let companies know
we care
how they treat our planet.
Support businesses
that recycle
by buying products made
from recycled materials.
Paper towels,
notebook paper, and even shoes
can be made from stuff
that would otherwise
end up in the dump.
And when your parents
buy appliances,
tell them to look for
the energy-efficiency rating.
The more efficient, the better.
So, shop smart, reduce waste,
and protect our planet.
All: The power is yours!
Planeteers: Go, Planet!
Unfortunately,
there are many homeless people
in our world today.
It's up to all of us
to lend a helping hand.
You can donate blankets and
clothes to homeless shelters.
Canned foods, too, and toys
because many of the homeless
are children.
You can even ask your teacher
to organize a class trip
to help clean up
or paint a local shelter.
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.

you little snoop!
Yep, yep!
Ugh! Toby, get help!
[ Dog barking ]
[ Muffled ]
Let go of me!
[ Engine starts ]
[ Men arguing ]
[ Dog barking ]
Heart!
Something is wrong.
I sense Jeff is in trouble.
Huh? Let me
and my men help.
We don't need
your help.
It's okay.
The most important thing
is to find my boy.
You follow the dog, we will
track you in the Geo-Cruiser.
Greedly: Rigger,
see if the tanks are full yet.
Rigger:
I don't get it, boss.
If the fuel tanks
are full of weed killer,
how are we gonna fly?
The reserve tanks
will keep us up long enough
to have
a successful accident.
[ Snorts ]
When the plane crashes,
the herbicide will kill
the forest and the river!
Then no one will stop me
from clear-cutting!
I'll be in hog heaven!
[ Laughs ]
What do we do
with the kid?
Bring him. He can test
the toxicity!
[ Engine starts ]
[ Dog barking ]
[ Dog whines ]
**
It looks like Toby's
chasing that plane.
Heart!
Jeff is inside.
Greedly has him!
Then let's hit it!
[ Dog barking ]
Uh-oh, boss.
Planet-pains at 5:00.
Uh, 7:00!
On our butt!
Relax. What are they gonna do,
shoot us down?
We want to crash the plane,
remember?
Come on!
Let's save our bacon.
What about the kid?
We only got
two parachutes.
Either give him yours
or say "bye-bye."
Sorry, kid. I hope you have
your pilot's license.
Yep, yep.
Geronimo-o-o-o!
Gi: Where's Jeff?
That greed monger wouldn't
leave him to crash, would he?
[ Grunting ]
Jeff will never land that thing
alone. We've got to help him.
Wheeler, if you get us
over the plane,
I can, how you say,
drop in on him.
It's pretty risky, babe.
That's plane's
not steady enough.
We have to try, Wheeler.
Get ready, Linka!
Now!
Aah!
Wheeler: Linka!
All right!
She's gonna make it.
I can't believe it.
I thought I was a goner.
[ Engine sputters ]
Bozhe moi! Out of gas!
[ Alarm beeping ]
But the fuel tank
reads full.
They are --
full of herbicide.
Plant poison?
Something's wrong.
They're going down!
Time for
a team beam.
Let our powers combine.
Earth!
Fire!
Wind!
Water!
Heart!
By your powers combined,
I am Captain Planet!
I'd better hurry.
I've got a plane to catch.
Whoa-ho-ho-ho!
Those pine needles tickle.
Ugh! Touchdown!
Thanks, Cap!
Wow! It's really
Captain Planet!
It's nice to meet
a fellow environmentalist.
[ Dog barking ]
Rigger: Get us down!
[ Snorts ]
Ha! Looks like Greedly's
out on a limb again.
If we don't overlog
or overfish,
there will be plenty of work
for all of us.
And our children.
So, Jeff, your letter said
you weren't sure
you wanted to be
a Planeteer anymore.
Can we change your mind?
You already did.
You showed me that the power
really is ours
to make a difference.
That's right...
Planeteer.
Check it out, Toby!
I'm a Planeteer!
[ Dog barks ]
Planeteers: Go, Planet!
As Planeteers,
we can let companies know
we care
how they treat our planet.
Support businesses
that recycle
by buying products made
from recycled materials.
Paper towels,
notebook paper, and even shoes
can be made from stuff
that would otherwise
end up in the dump.
And when your parents
buy appliances,
tell them to look for
the energy-efficiency rating.
The more efficient, the better.
So, shop smart, reduce waste,
and protect our planet.
All: The power is yours!
Planeteers: Go, Planet!
Unfortunately,
there are many homeless people
in our world today.
It's up to all of us
to lend a helping hand.
You can donate blankets and
clothes to homeless shelters.
Canned foods, too, and toys
because many of the homeless
are children.
You can even ask your teacher
to organize a class trip
to help clean up
or paint a local shelter.
The power is yours!
Earth!
Fire!
Wind!
Water!
Heart!
All: Go, Planet!
By your powers combined,
I am Captain Planet!
