[ Squawking ]

MAL: I don't understand

why you won't share
your project with the cast.

Oh, don't get a bug
in your operating system.

I'm just about ready to unveil
my latest ingenious invention.

Ta-da!

Well, it's about time.

That's exactly
what it's about -- time.

I've created a new and improved
time travel transporter.

What took you so long, kid?

Am I seeing double?

No, just me today...

And me tomorrow.

I decided I'd build a time
portal in the present.

So that in the future,
I'd remember it

and go back to the past
to visit myself.

Wowee-zowee.

And who is this
compact cutie?

MAL, meet GAL,
your upgrade.

Back off, you laptop loser.

I'm gigabytes ahead of you.

Ooh, she'll make
a spunky co-processor.

Oh, nice blighted
garden you have here.

Doctor future dearest,

has time
dimmed your vision?

This place
is sickeningly gorgeous.

Ugh!

Jeepers, this guy's
artificial intelligence

is lower than
the average trash masher

where I come from.

Check it out, mini hertz.

We're in the middle
of a minefield.

One of the little
treats left over

from the most recent war.

This used to be farmland.

Now, if anyone tries
to plant anything

or sneak up on us,
it's --

Kaboom!

Yeah, it's a blast now,

but in 20 years,
where I come from,

people have lost their senses

and become -- ugh --
peace loving.

Shockingly, a good bomb
is hard to find.

No!
Yes.

There's hardly ever
a decent war.

They're cleaning up
old minefields,

neutralizing chemical weapons,

and storing old nuclear
waste securely.

The future sounds dismal.

Well, fortunately,

there are still a few
warmongers running around.

If I had just one
nuclear warhead,

I could sell it
to the highest bidder,

make a fortune,
and ignite a new arms race!

I've got an even better idea.

Hmm, and it's not
a bad idea at that.

How do you know what it is?
I haven't said it yet.

Don't forget, sweetie,
I'm you in the future.

I know everything you think
because I already thought it.

Get her away from me.

Don't be a weenie, MAL.

We've got a bomb to build.

I have a formula for refining
weapons-grade nuclear material.

But heck, some countries
are so lax

with the nuclear materials
from disassembled weapons,

it's easier to steal plutonium
than to make your own.

Future Blight:
Then, bombs away!

[ Both laugh ]

[ Thump ]
What was that?!

Hey, big boys.

Would you pull over

for a beautiful damsel
in distress?

Sure!
If we see one.

[ Men laugh ]

Park it, bucko!

And it is reported that
the plutonium was stolen

from an unescorted
military transport truck.

Linka: Bozhe moi!

The missing plutonium poses

not only a threat
of nuclear terrorism,

but the risk of environmental
contamination

that would make the Chernobyl
disaster look minor.

And that accident
made thousands of people sick.

Then we'd better track down
that plutonium, pronto!

[ Thunder cracks ]

Blight: That was like taking
plutonium from a baby.

I make quite a team,
eh, cutie?

MAL: Um, excuse me,
doctors dearests.

But our payload's too heavy
to handle this storm.

Let's jettison MAL.

He's dead weight.

Hey, I'm state of the art!

More like scrap parts.

[ Alarm blaring ]
Huh?

Whoa!

Cool it, you two!

We've got to
lighten the load.

MAL: The plutonium has to go.

Oh, no.

This stuff's
gonna make me rich.

You mean me.

Don't be greedy!

We're the same person.

Well, in that case,

I might as well enjoy
the money while I'm young.

No way.

You'll squander it
before I ever get any.

[ Both grunting ]

We've got to dump the plutonium
or we'll crash!

Never.
I'll bail first.

Sayonara, suckers!

Hey, granny,

don't forget that
if I bite the big one,

you're history, too.

Then let's stop yapping
and get going.

We have a date
with destiny.

Of course, you'll need
my mega drive and talent.

Hey! What about me?!

Blight: The captain always
goes down with the ship.

But I'm not the captain!

Congrats, MAL, baby.

You've just been
promoted.

MAL: Lucky me.
Aaaah!

Gi: We're nearing the place
where the plutonium was stolen.

What in the world?!

[ Thunderclap,
Planeteers' excited chatter ]

Gi: Some kind of weird
electrical field.

We have lost power.

We're going down!
Linka: What's happening?!

[ Screaming ]

Team beam time!

Let our powers combine.
Earth!

-Fire!
-Wind!

Water!

Heart!

By your powers combined,
I am Captain Planet!

Whoa. Looks like they shocked
till they dropped.

Planeteers,
we're caught in a warp

in the space-time continuum.

I think I can repel the storm.

Just don't tell anyone
about my repulsive personality.

It is working!

We have power.

That's what I've been
telling them all these years.

Thanks so much, Captain.

Now to find out
what happened to the plutonium.

Maybe they'll have
some answers.

Everyone, hands
in the air, now!

This must be the rest
of the terrorist gang.

You think we nabbed
the plutonium?

Where have the women taken it?

Women?
Do not be coy.

The ones with the scarred faces
and -- spandex.

All: Blight?!

The bad doctor
and plutonium don't mix.

We've got to stop her.

You are all under arrest.

Sorry, but you've apprehended
the wrong plutonium perps,

and we've got to catch
the real ones, fast.

Aah!

Move it!

Gi: The way those soldiers
were talking,

it sounded like there
were two Dr. Blights.

Now, that's a doubly
disgusting thought.

Well, hang onto
your cookies, Cap,

because there are
two Dr. Blights,

and they're in
the past altering history

to ensure a more
war-filled future.

Or is that present?

That explains the time
warp we were caught in.

Planeteers, we've got
to stop both Blights

before the new future is now.

Happy trails.

The power is yours!

Future Blight: Don't even think
about thinking about cheating.

I win, girly.
I built my bomb faster than you.

No fair!
You had GAL to help.

I'd have won if
we hadn't ditched MAL.

I could beat Microwave MAL

with one disk drive
tied behind my circuit board.

Well, my bomb's bigger,
so it's better.

Whatever.
We've got two killer bombs.

So, let's find
the highest bidder.

With World War II
in full swing,

that'll be as easy
as eins, zwei...

Both: Drei!

Linka: Any luck tracing
Blight's ship?

Gi:
According to our readout,

the radiation footprint leads

all the way
across southeast Asia?

And then the plutonium
trail vanishes.

We're nearing ground zero.

There!
Dr. Blight's ship.

Wheeler:
Looks like it crashed.

Nowhere to land here.

I will set down
near that village.

Come on, come on!

Move it!

I'm picking up a strange
electrical disturbance up ahead.

Hurry, let's take this path.

No!

[ Screaming ]

What was that?

Land mine left over
from the war.

Land mine?

They did not remove them
after the fighting stopped?

No.

In fact, some militant groups
are still planting them.

Well, thanks
for stopping us, uh...

Tai-Li.

Me and my friends
used to play here until...

this happened.

My friend Ming Su
was not so lucky.

That is awful.

our parents warned us
about the mines,

but we just didn't listen.

How are we going to get through?

I don't know,
but with that plutonium,

the Blights could
start World War III.

If there's that much at stake,
I can guide you,

but whatever you do,
stick close.

With our bomb,
you can rule the world.

With or without your bomb,
I will rule the world!

Boy, is he in
for a big surprise

if he doesn't spring
for our bomb.

You will sell it
to the highest bidder?

That's right,
and this atomic bomb

will make conventional weapons
look like toys.

Nein, das is preposterous.

The technology for refining
weapons-grade material

does not exist.

It does where
we come from.

Huh?
And where is that?

The future.

[ Excited chatter ]

[ Gasp ]
What?

Never seen an anti-gravity,
radium-powered,

super artificial
intelligence before?

Gentlemen?
Gentlemen!

And I use the term loosely.

Our little demonstration
should dispel your doubts.

[ Gunfire ]

[ Explosion ]

The radiation will poison
the villagers.

Aw, don't get
your knackwurst in a knot.

The villagers already evacuated

for fear of your
puny bombs.

Fuhrer, this weapon
is too destructive.

Nonsense!

Nothing is more important
in war than winning!

I bid 75 million Deutsche Marks
for this atom bomb.

Do I hear 100 mil, anyone?

Wheeler: So, Tai-Li,

where's the best place
to get a --

what kind of burgers
you got here, anyway?

Get real, Yankee.

Freeze!
What is it?

A tripwire for
an antipersonnel mine.

Then let's trip it.

Everyone back.
Fire!

Ma-Ti:
There is Blight's ship!

But what is wrong with it?

It is some kind
of electrical anomaly.

I think I can
balance it out.

Man, talk about
a hard landing.

Oh, GAL, you have
the cutest little giggle bytes.

Mwah, mwah...

Boot up, disk-head!
GAL....

Huh, huh?

Aah!
Planet pests.

Precisely, MAL,
and we want some answers.

Where's Dr. Blight,
for starters.

Oh, right, sure.

Would you prefer to have your
hard drive re-initialized?

Wait! Let's not be hasty.

What the hay,
they bailed on me.

So, you're saying Dr. Blight
and...

Dr. Blight are in the past
selling atomic bombs?

Mm-hmm.

We cannot let that happen.

And I suppose you eco-twerps
think you can stop them.

With your help,

unless you want
your circuits scrambled.

Well, the time machine's
just behind you.

I'll send you back to
the Dr. Blights...

and GAL...

but the crash
damaged the mechanism,

so you won't have
much time in the past.

Then we better move fast!

Now what are you doing?

Just programming a timer
to reverse current and create

a polarizing magnetic field.

Good thinking, Gi.

If MAL wants to keep
his memory intact,

he needs us to return
and disable it.

Right.

Um, hurry back.

[ Artillery fire,
airplane strafing ]

I bid 1 billion.

I'm out.

The bidding is too high.

Stop bidding against me
or I will invade you!

On second thought,
I have enough bombs.

Well, then it looks
like the big blast

is sold to the man

with the caterpillar
on his lip.

Going once, going twice --

Wheeler: Hang on there!

The Planeteers!
What is this?

This is low.

Even for a Blight.

What are you doing with that --
that barbarian?

Just ensuring
a badder future.

Hey, Fuhrer, arrest
these geo jerks

or they'll spoil everything.

What do you think
you're doing?

Silence!
Bring in the troops!

Ja, mein herr!

We'll arrest
the future frauleins, too.

Just what do you think
you're doing, shorty?

What I planned to do all along.
I am taking my bomb!

But the auction.

The fuhrer does not barter.

He conquers!

And you said we could
trust this guy.

Me?

Well, there's no such thing
as a free bomb.

Oh, doctors, doctors,

you seem to have
armed the bomb.

We need reinforcement.

Then let our powers combine.

Earth!

-Fire!
-Wind!

Water!

Heart!

By your powers combined,

I am
Captain Planet!

The Planeteers
have gotten themselves

into another
explosive situation.

I'd better dive
for that bomb.

[ Groaning ]

Cap, are you okay?

I wasn't prepared for the level

of hatred radiating
from that monster.

Prejudice and hate are as toxic
as any other pollutant.

Come on!
We're history!

Got to get far enough away

to keep the fallout
from falling back to Earth.

I've heard of neutron bombs,
atomic bombs,

even smart bombs,

but there's no such thing
as a good bomb.

Aah!

Here comes the cavalry.

Or is it the infantry?

Thank you, Captain Planet.

You two timers have caused
enough trouble here.

So it's back
to the future.

Get ready,
the time portal's opening.

Quickly, Tai-Li, the portal
will not hold for long.

Be right there.

Here, please give this...
[ Whispering ]

What did you give that soldier?

Just a letter.

Hey, soldier, can I cut you
a deal on some atomic formulas?

Hmm.

Better get this
to our science boys.

Could be important.

Get real, parsley head.

You can't make us
de-mine that field.

Uh, maybe you can.

It's mines like yours

that created
those killing fields,

so it's only fitting
you clean them up.

We wouldn't be in this mess

if you hadn't had
that hare-brained idea

about selling atomic bombs.

Well, whose idea
was the time machine anyway?

Cork it, you old bitty!

Looks like Dr. Blight's
really beside herself.

MAL! Do something!
GAL! Do something!

Oh, MAL-ikins, you saved me!
My hero.

You make my disk spin.

Ditto,
my digital darling.

It is time for us to get back
to the Geo-Cruiser.

I'll guide you back.

[ Excited chatter ]

Wow!
Great!

Tai-Li, how?

You know that letter
I gave to that soldier?

Yes.
It was a strong warning

to my grandparents
about the minefield.

Apparently I listened this time.

Guess that proves
that if you pay attention

to the past,

history doesn't have
to repeat itself.

Earth!

Fire!

Wind!

Water!
Heart!

All: Go, Planet!

By your powers combined,
I am Captain Planet!
