Dr. Chen:
Normally solitary animals,

it is very unusual
for male and female pandas

to behave in such
an affectionate manner.
[ Camera shutter clicks ]

But Pandeo and Juliette
clearly love to be together.

[ Engine revs ]

[ Squeals ]

Get the lead out,
Stalker!

We want to nail these furballs
while we're still young.

[ Both whimpering ]

Don't worry, Mother.

I'll have those pandas
pegged in a jiffy.

[ Cries ]

[ Cries ]

You klutz! I wanted both
of them alive and healthy!

Sorry, Mother.

[ Grunts ]

[ Gasps ]

Mame: Grab your gun,
Stalker!

It would be a shame to let
such a pretty pelt go to waste.

Stop! Stop!
Don't do this!

[ Camera shutter clicking ]

Step on it, Stalker.

We don't need
any meddling witnesses.

[ Monkeys chattering ]

I still don't see the problem
having a few monkeys in a zoo.

[ Growls ]
[ Monkeys blow raspberry ]

Don't you see, Wheeler?

It's wrong to imprison
any animal.

Linka:
I do not agree, Gi.

Zoos can be a good way
for people to learn about

all the wondrous creatures
on Earth.

Zoos also offer homes
for species whose habitats

are being destroyed.

Gi: Perhaps,
but most wild animals

require more space
than a zoo can offer.

[ Growls ]
Look out!

Runaway lion!

Aah!

[ Laughter ]

Get up, Wheeler.

Don't be silly.

Zoos are much
more exciting

now that they no longer keep
animals in cramped cages.

Right, Wheeler?

Very funny, Linka.

Hey, we need to move.

Dr. Chen is waiting for us
at the panda pavilion.

Dr. Chen: So, you see, Pandeo
is severely traumatized.

His shoulder was dislocated
when the poachers took his mate.

He was sent here because
they specialize in animal rehab.

Poor old bear.

Only he's not a bear,
more like a giant raccoon.

Whoa, mondo raccie!

Will he be okay?

His wounds should heal,

but it appears
his heart may not.

He has acted
very depressed

since losing his mate,
Juliette.

Any chance
of finding her?

Dr. Chen: Pandas are usually
killed for their fur.

However, since Juliette
was taken alive,

she was probably sold
to a private collector.

The problem is, where?

I shot these pictures
during Juliette's abduction.

Unfortunately,
they're out of focus.

Dr. Chen, can I scan these shots
into the Geo-Cruiser's computer?

They might
tell us something.

I sure hope so.

[ Computer beeps ]

Any luck, Gi?
Check this out.

[ Exhaling, coughing ]

Ma-Ti: You said it, Suchi.
It is The Slaughters, all right.

I've heard about them
recently.

Supposedly, they were operating
out of an illegal animal market

somewhere
in Southeast Asia.

If it's out there,
we'll find it.

[ Dogs barking, siren wailing ]

[ Animals growling, squawking ]

I can't wait to tell
the authorities

about
this chamber of horrors.

How much for the monkey?
His brains would be very tasty.

[ Chatters loudly ]

My monkey
is not for sale.

But we will pay big dollars
for a panda.

Pandas are rare, indeed.

I may need help remembering
the last time I saw one.

Hmm.

Mame Slaughter had one
a couple of months ago.

There was a bidding war,
and it sold for a fortune

to Madame Mao's Circus.

Let's move!

So, the kiddies
want to see the circus?

Oh, I'll make sure they have
the time of their short lives.

But first, to take care
of that squealer.

**

[ Grunts softly ]

[ Through telephone ]
Exactly, Madame Mao. Uh-huh.

Dangerous nuisances,
so be prepared.

They should be arriving
at any time.

I assure you, Mame,
they will not leave here alive.

Is my mommy coming
to see me?

That's right, Clawed.

Now lock up the panda.
We have work to do.

[ Crying ] But I want
to keep training her!

[ Whimpers ]

Later, Clawed.

Your mother says
we're expecting visitors.

You can train them.

[ Cackles ]

Oh, goody.

[ Cries ]

**

What's that guy up to?

Never mind him.
Let's move.

It's Juliette, all right.
The eyepatch is identical.

[ Whimpers ]

Heart!

It is okay, Juliette.

[ Straining ] Bozhe moi!
Juliette's cage is padlocked.

Not for long.
Step aside, babe.

I'm gonna smoke it.

Woman:
Be right back, John.

I'm just going for
a shower and a shave.

[ Tiger growling ]

Sorry, guys.

You can't make me fall
for that trench deal again.

Kwame:
This is no zoo, Wheeler.

[ Lion grunts ]

Oh, man!
That was close!

[ Chattering ]

[ Elephant trumpets ]

[ Second elephant trumpets ]
What the...?

Wind!

Light it, Wheeler.

Right.
Fire!

[ Elephants trumpet ]

The elephants
are out of control.

Heart!

Give me a lift, Kwame!

Wind!

Easy, boy!
-Whoa!

This place is scary.

I've heard of animals literally
going crazy from confinement.

It's okay.
You're safe now.

[ Clapping ]

That was
quite a performance.

What do you pipsqueaks
think you're doing?!

Um, we were kind of looking
for a hot meal

and maybe some work.

I could use your talents.

Wow! I've always dreamed
of being in a circus.

Working on the inside
may be the best way

to get Juliette
out of here.

-Gi is right.
-We accept.

I'm dying to know what
awesome act you want me for.

You'll be amazing with what
I have in mind for you.

Kujo will set you up.

This way.

Why'd you
give 'em jobs?

I thought we were
gonna off 'em?

Your mother said
to make sure

it looked like
they had an accident.

And what better place
for an accident?

Now does Clawed get it?

Oh, yeah!

Now Clawed gets it!

Oh, you and my mommy
sure are smart.

[ Animals growling ]

Looking good, Kwame.

You, too, Gi.

[ Grunts ]
To the right, Tusker!

Please, Tusker!

Tusker!

Good girl, Juggles.
[ Seal barking ]

Toss it to Suchi.
[ Chatters ]

[ Chatters indignantly ]

This is show business?
[ Grunts ]

My talents are really
being wasted here,

Madame Mao.

Perhaps you're right.

I have a much bigger job
for you.

This isn't -- isn't quite
what I had in mind.

You sure it's safe?

The net will be like
landing on a feather bed.

At least you will
make a big splat with
the audience, Wheeler.

[ Laughs ]

That's "splash"!

Wait -- Aah!

Whoa!

I'm a goner!

Help!

Wind!

-Wheeler, are you okay?
-Are you okay?

[ Coughing ]

Kujo?

The support rope snapped.

What a terrible...accident.

Fortunately,
no one was hurt.

This time.

[ Whimpering ]

Oh, poor Juliette.

I would
be depressed, too.

[ Chatters ]

[ Growls, sniffs ]

[ Chuckles ]
Nice try, Suchi.

She must be starving.

[ Spits ]

[ Whip cracks ]

Excuse me, Clawed?

The animals do not seem
to have any food.

[ Laughs ]

Then let 'em eat
your stupid monkey.

[ Screeches ]

Enough yapping!

While I'm educating
these animals,

you bleach out
their cage!

But bleach is bad
for the animals' health.

It'll be bad
for your health

if you don't do
what Clawed says!

Now, move it!

[ Bars clank ]

[ Growls ]

Jump,
you stupid hairball!

You would have better success
with kindness.

Why, you!

Clawed,
Madame Mao wants to see you.

Oh.
Uh, thanks.

Okay, squirt.

Yeah, you think you can do
a better job training this lion,

go for it.

[ Cackles ]

[ Growling ]

[ Screeches ]

Heart!

[ Growls ]

[ Purring ]

[ Chuckles ]
Hey, easy, big fella.

How in the world?

[ Chattering ]

-What is it, Suchi?
-What is it?

Nice, kitty.

Looks like
you made a friend.

Don't play innocent, Kujo,
you lousy sneak!

We caught you red-handed!

I guess you did.
But I got to sneak,

because if Madame Mao sees me
feeding the animals,

she'll fire me.

Enough loafing.

Time to get ready
for the show.

[ Whispering indistinctly ]

Come on, Red.
I have the perfect act for you.

All right!

[ Circus music playing ]

[ Cheers and applause ]

Whee-hoo!

[ Laughter ]

I love showbiz!

[ Splat! ]
Huh?

[ Loud splat! ]

[ Laughter ]

[ Both laugh ]

I always wanted
to do that, too, Suchi.

Ladies and gentlemen,

welcome to Madame Mao's
Circus Extraordinaire!

More like Circus Unfair.

You said it.
This place is awful.

Good thing we're
getting Juliette out
of here after the show.

Behold, the incredible
pirouetting panda!

Dance!

[ Waltz music plays ]

I cannot believe Madame Mao has
me humiliating these animals.

I am sorry to make you do this,
but please be good, Tusker.

[ Cheers and applause ]

[ Drum roll ]

Madame Mao: And now
for the Flying Finitos!

[ Up-tempo music plays ]

[ Indistinct shouting ]

[ Audience gasps ]

[ Gasps ]

Grab my hand, Gi!
It's too far!

Wind!

Got you!

[ Cheers and applause ]

[ Elephant trumpets ]

[ Screaming ]

If you want something done
right, do it yourself.

Let's see some action,
Dumbo!

[ Trumpeting ]

I'll help, too, Mommy.

[ Audience panicking ]

Wheeler: It's Mame Slaughter!
We've got to stop her!

[ Bears growling ]

[ Panicking continues ]

This pole
can't take much more!

Then let our powers combine.
Ooh!

Earth!

Easy, Yogi.
Fire!

[ Elephant trumpets ]

Wind!

Water!

[ Suchi screeching,
seal barking ]

Heart!

[ Electricity crackles ]

By your powers combined,
I am Captain Planet!

Uh-oh.
They're not clowning around.

That's
five-ring panda-monium.

I'd better hurry or the big top
will be a flat top!

[ Elephant trumpets ]
Easy, friends.

I can't "bear"
to see you so upset.

Mame: Hurry, Clawed!

Let's down this do-gooder
once and for all!

Okay, Mommy!

Ready? "Mame!"
Fire!

[ Sizzling ]

[ Grunting ]

[ Groans ]

[ Planeteers gasp ]

These troublemakers
know too much.

Right.
Time to torch the evidence.

We need a hose
to wash Cap off.

Got something better.
Suck it up, Tusker.

Now blow, Tusker, blow!

[ Gargles ]

Nothing like a shower
after a close shave.

Hey, thanks, Jumbo.

-All right!
-All right!

[ Fire crackling ]
Wheeler: Huh?

Uh-oh.

This must be
the hottest show on Earth.

Time to pitch this tent...

before I get too burnt out.

I'm out of here!

Wait for me, Mommy!

[ Engine sputters ]

[ Banging ]

-Oh!
-What's that?

[ Shouting indistinctly ]

-Get us out of here!
-Go, Mommy, go!

What do you think
I'm trying to do?

[ Engine sputters ]

[ Tires rev ]

Get off of me,
you big oaf!

Sorry, Mommy.

[ Whip cracks ]

Now what?

Step right up,
ladies and gentlemen!

Run for it, Clawed!

Yes, Mommy!

Wait for me!

Okay, guys,
let's have a ball...

or three.

[ Shouting indistinctly ]

[ Lion growls ]
[ All gasp ]

Uh-oh!

[ Screaming ]

[ Chuckles ]
Turn around's fair play,

and I ain't "lion."
[lyin']

This ought to fire 'em up.

Aah!

[ Growls ]

Nice pussy!

Neato.
Look at 'em go.

[ Screaming ]

[ Gasps ]

[ Growls ]

Out of my way!

Ouch!

[ Clank ]
[ Gasps ]

Show's over
for you folks.

[ Cheers and applause ]

Well, it's out of the cage
and into the clink

for these animal abusers.

I'm taking 'em in.
Good work, Planeteers!

Well, that's the end of
Madame Mao's sadistic circus.

[ Elephant trumpets ]

Hopefully,
Dr. Chen can help the animals

find healthier homes.

But it looks like
you're out of a job, Kujo.

Maybe not.

I've always wanted to do a show
that doesn't exploit animals.

Using acrobats,
trapeze artists,

and clowns,
I can create a magical show!

[ Laughs ] That's what I call
a circus extraordinaire.

**

Dr. Chen:
What a beautiful sight to see
those two back together again.

In their natural
environment.

The reserve is still
a form of captivity,

but until we can
stop the poaching,

it is the best we can do.

Hey, after what Pandeo
and Juliette have been through,

this place must
look pretty good.

Pbht!

-Go, Planet!
-Go, Planet!

Gi:
The best thing you can do

to help our environment
is get involved.

Join an
environmental group

or team up with friends
to start your own projects.

Clean up a park or a beach.

Organize a recycling program
at school

or in your neighborhood.

Or plant trees and remember
to take care of them.

It's all part of making
our planet healthy again.

We must all work together
to protect the animals, trees,

oceans, and air.

The power is yours!

Go, Planet!

Rhinos may not be
the cutest animals in the world,

but they are part
of nature's rich diversity.

To kill an endangered animal
just for its horn or skin

is not only wrong, but illegal.

Unfortunately,
some places in the world

are not enforcing the law.

And rhinos continue
to be hunted toward extinction.

So please, do not buy rhino

or any other endangered
animal products.

Remember...

Together: 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!
