Captain Planet:
The power is yours!
Wheeler:
If you don't squeeze a little
more speed out of this crate,
we'll have a date
with disaster!
[ Squeaking ]
Pushing her
to the max now.
It's the rainy season,
and I'm fighting head winds.
There!
Kwame: If the chemicals
in that plant explode,
it will create
a killer cloud!
[ Squeaking ]
Easy, Suchi.
You will be safe
in the Geo-Cruiser --
safer, anyway.
[ Screaming ]
[ People clamoring ]
Serious team beam time!
Let our powers combine!
Earth!
Fire!
Wind!
Water!
Heart!
By your powers combined,
I am Captain Planet!
Holy smoke!
I'd better put a different spin
on this situation.
Whoa, dizzy.
I feel a hot flash coming on.
Well, call me
Captain Combustion,
a spontaneous kinda guy.
Go, Planet! Go, Planet!
Go, Planet! Go, Planet!
Now, to orchestrate
a high sea in nothing flat.
Whoa!
That water's so polluted,
it's adding fuel
to the fire.
Thank goodness
it's the rainy season
'cause it's time
for a thundering finale.
-All right!
-Captain Planet!
Hold the accolades,
Planeteers.
I may have taken care
of the immediate crisis.
But the chemical cloud
caused damage
that will last decades
and health problems
that may last a lifetime.
[ Coughing ]
This is too high a price
to pay for profit.
I will work
to make changes.
The power is yours!
I am so pooped.
I cannot wait to head home.
Actually, since we're
in the neighborhood,
I'd kind of like
to visit Banaras.
Banaras? What do you know
about India, Yankee?
My grandmother
loved India!
She used to tell me
cool stories
about the history
and mythology.
Grams even learned to cook me
great Indian treats.
Curry burgers?
Funny.
Grams always dreamed of seeing
the temples in Banaras.
She said the experience
can change your life.
I'd like to go for her.
Works for me.
We can check out
the Ganges River.
I've read
it's in big trouble
because of all the waste
being dumped in it.
As in the human kind?
Right.
Apparently,
an awful lot of people
use the river
around Banaras.
Then it's decided.
Ma Ganga, here we come!
Ma what?
Mother Ganges!
[ Squeaking ]
Unbelievable!
It's as cool
as you thought, Grams.
Wow, Ganesh!
What the...
Friend of fire, welcome.
I say to you, be aware
of auspicious beginnings.
And remember this --
The rat holds the key.
Oh, man.
Must've eaten too many
curry burgers.
I'm out of here!
Gee, sorry!
Let me get these for you.
Whoa!
Oh, they are
all messed up.
And I am already late.
This must be
important stuff
for you to be
in such a rush.
It's a report
for my professor.
What's it about?
You would
find it boring.
It's about pollution levels
in the Ganges.
Boring?
Are you kidding?
With all the people
using Ma Ganga,
I've been worried
about the river myself.
Really?
Sure!
Look, since I
made you late,
I insist on personally
apologizing to your professor.
Well, all right.
I guess.
Gee, Lita,
it's really cool
you want to be
a hydrologic engineer.
I wish my family
thought it was cool.
They are against it.
Why?
Because I'm just a girl.
But girls are great!
Shh!
Not everyone in India
would agree with you.
Sorry.
Anyway, how come
we're meeting your professor
in the Hanuman Temple?
Dr. Mishra's a priest
as well as a scientist.
Hmm. Sort of a blend
of the scientific
and the spiritual, huh?
Man: You are just being
difficult, Dr. Mishra!
Mishra: The new sewage treatment
plant is overly complex.
An oxidation pond would
better suit our needs.
Why?
It is inexpensive
and it works.
This new plant
is costly to run.
And the technology
is complex and unreliable.
Nonsense! Our random
testing proves
the plant
is working perfectly.
Yes. But it has not been
through a rainy season.
The plant may not be able
to handle the flooding.
Absurd!
You, of all people,
must realize that technology
is what will save the Ganges!
Appropriate technology,
which the new sewage
treatment plant is not.
[ Scoffs ]
You're hopeless!
Forgive my friend.
We do not see eye-to-eye.
Dr. Mishra,
this is Wheeler.
I'm the reason
Lita was late.
Sorry.
Sounds like her report
might've helped your case.
I'm afraid facts
rarely help people
whose minds are
already made up.
Looks like Suchi found
relatives in high places.
Gi: That statue Suchi's on
is the monkey god, Hanuman.
[ Squeaking ]
What is going on,
some kind of festival?
I doubt it.
Apparently, on top
of the millions that live here,
millions more come
each year
just to bathe in
the Ganges' holy waters.
Not to mention
wash their camels.
They use the river
for drinking,
washing, cooking.
Everything ends up
in the water.
Talk about pollution.
Ma Ganga is sacred.
She cannot be polluted.
That is a dangerous attitude.
Aah!
[ Squawks ]
[ Screaming ]
Linka! Grab my hand!
[ Screaming ]
Aah! Please help!
Aah!
Water!
Aah!
You are okay now.
Take it easy.
-Take it easy.
-That was horrible.
The smell!
Oh.
[ Coughs ]
I think it is time
to call it a day.
Yeah, you're right.
How about getting
some dinner?
Anything but beef.
I wonder
what cosmic revelations
Wheeler is having.
Wheeler: Wow!
How old's this place?
Several hundred years.
It was the home of Tulsidas,
who wrote the Ramayana.
Listen, young champion
of the planet.
Oh, not again!
Your troubles will spread.
Beware, the solution
is the problem.
What do you mean?
Wait! Come back!
We are waiting,
Wheeler.
Is something wrong?
Uh, no. Sorry.
Dr. Mishra,
terrible news!
Hundreds have fallen ill!
-From what?
-No one knows.
And it's spreading!
Spreading?
That's what Hanuman said.
Wheeler, what are you
talking about?
I'm not sure.
But maybe my friends
can help us figure out
what's going on.
Come on!
Nice to meet you, Lita.
Excuse me.
Man, you guys
are sick, too?
Linka:
It is not just us.
We assumed the chemical plant
made us --
Excuse me!
Gi: Or the food we ate?
No. The illness
is widespread.
The doctor
gave us these,
oral rehydration
therapy salts.
They are good. They're keep you
from becoming dehydrated.
Great.
I guess.
Lita: I just wish I knew
what was making everyone sick.
Verminous Scum,
that's what!
Verminous who?
Ganesh warned me
the rat was the key.
No time to explain.
There's a rotten rodent
at work in the city.
[ Indistinct conversations ]
Lita's a real babe.
[ Wolf whistles ]
The illness
has spread downriver.
But still,
no one knows why.
Maybe it's got
something to do
with all that stuff
in the river!
But the scientists
from the sewage plant
claimed less of that stuff
is going into the river.
There's got to be
a solution.
That's weird.
Hanuman said
the solution's the problem.
Hanuman? Again?
But Ganesh said
the rat's the key.
What are you doin'?
Fevers have been known
to cause hallucinations.
I know it sounds
crazy, but --
Hey! Follow that rat!
Are you serious?
Come on! Fur Face
will lead us to Scum!
Great.
Statues talk to him,
and he talks to rats.
Fire!
How did you do that?
Hey, I'm a man
of many talents.
There he is!
[ Squeaking ]
And there he goes.
Pee-yew!
Leave it to scum
to hang out
in a stinkhole like this!
Whoa!
Just when I thought
it couldn't smell worse.
Raw sewage.
If this is getting
in the river,
it would explain
the illness.
Maybe we can see
where it comes from.
[ Gasps ]
[ Gasping ]
The pipe leads to
the sewage treatment plant.
That's it!
"The solution
is the problem."
Let's move it!
That pest is headed
for the plant!
Wait for me!
But, Mr. Singh,
we saw raw sewage
backing up
into the storm drain.
It's coming
from the plant.
That's impossible!
You are a foolish girl!
You've got to listen!
You've wasted enough
of my time!
Now, go!
Don't worry.
We'll check it out
ourselves later.
Man, who does
the plumbing around here?
It's a mishmash of ancient
and new all slapped together.
I don't like
the feel of that.
Hey! Look who's back.
[ Squeaking ]
Come on!
Let's follow him!
What else?
Where'd he go?
What's the little guy --
Ugh!
Hey, it looks like
they use the wrong pipes!
No wonder
the processor's leaking!
[ Squeaking ]
It's worse than that.
With all the rain
we've had this season,
the overflow's backing
into the processor.
Any more water pressure
and it could explode.
Perfect timing!
We've got to warn
Mr. Singh!
[ Gasps ]
I told you
I heard rats down here.
We were just coming
to find you.
The processor --
Hold them
until the police arrive.
You don't get it!
The processor could blow
any second!
Is that possible?
Of course not!
What does this tourist know?
Lock them in my office!
Ick! A rat!
Huh?
Come on!
Stop them!
You come back here!
-Come on! Let's get out of here!
-Hurry!
[ Squeaking ]
[ Blows raspberry ]
This way!
That's my monkey!
[ Squeaking ]
[ Coughing ]
Over here!
Locked!
We are trapped.
Not for long!
Fire!
There they are!
We're out of here, Suchi!
[ Squeaking ]
If the processor blows,
all the sewage will
end up in the river.
We need a team beam!
Man, I wish I could
reach the others!
All right, Kwame!
Fire!
There's more to this guy
than meets the eye.
Wind.
Water.
Heart.
Yes!
By your powers combined,
I am Captain Planet!
Oh, my!
Go, Planet!
Go, Wheeler!
Take cover!
The plant's too pooped.
It's gonna pop!
Ugh!
Talk about some
shaky, breaky parts.
If I don't hurry,
Old Ma River's
gonna be pa-lluted.
I'd better put this mess
in the deep freeze.
[ Inhales deeply ]
A hero's work is never dung!
Well, actually,
today, it is.
The question is, what to do
with this, uh, sludgecicle?
Ah, a field of dreams.
Stay cool, sludger,
while I cover the bases.
Rounding first,
second, third!
He's home!
And, of course,
a mound in the middle.
Now, to tie up
the loose ends.
I know I con do it.
[conduit]
Ta-da!
[ Squeaking ]
[ Sighs ]
Do not fear me,
little brother.
[ Squeaks ]
I need your help.
Not bad for a temp job.
This new oxidation pond
should give the river
a rest from [clears throat]
unwelcome offerings.
Great work, Cap!
Yes.
You saved Ma Ganga.
I'm sorry I did not
listen to you.
[ Squeaking ]
Got it, Suchi.
What Hanuman wants, he gets.
Be right back!
Hanuman?
Now, he's doing it!
[ Squeaking ]
Yeah. You do make
a fine Hanuman, Suchi.
Why, you're a chimp
off the old block!
[ Cheering ]
Here's a little
herbal remedy!
Thank you!
Hanuman's gift
will cure the illness!
And the new oxidation
pond will keep the river clean.
If there's going to be
hope for the Ganges,
we must all learn
to treat the sacred river
with the respect she deserves.
The power is yours!
Lita: I am happy to see you
are all feeling better.
Love those
rehydration salts!
-Thank you.
-Much better.
You know, after all
our run-ins with Scum,
I figured Ganesh was telling me
the rat was evil.
But I should've realized --
the little guy's his friend.
He stands for teamwork.
No one's too little
to help.
[ Squeaking ]
Mishra: I thought
I might find you here.
I have good news, Lita.
I told your parents
what you did.
They have agreed
to let you study
at the university after all.
-That's great!
-Wow!
Thank you for everything,
Wheeler!
It's just lucky you guys
summoned Cap when you did.
I've been wondering
how you knew.
We did not summon
Captain Planet.
We were so sick,
we couldn't do anything --
except, you know.
I don't get it.
Then who summoned Cap?
Holy elephant?
Earth!
Fire!
Wind!
Water!
Heart!
All: Go, Planet!
By your powers combined,
I am Captain Planet!

and I'm fighting head winds.
There!
Kwame: If the chemicals

[ Squeaking ]
Easy, Suchi.
You will be safe
in the Geo-Cruiser --
safer, anyway.
[ Screaming ]
[ People clamoring ]
Serious team beam time!

That water's so polluted,

Thank goodness
it's the rainy season
'cause it's time

-All right!

Hold the accolades,

I may have taken care

It's as cool

Wow, Ganesh!
What the...
Friend of fire, welcome.
I say to you, be aware

And remember this --
The rat holds the key.
Oh, man.
Must've eaten too many
curry burgers.
I'm out of here!
Gee, sorry!
Let me get these for you.
Whoa!
Oh, they are

Dr. Mishra's a priest

this is Wheeler.
I'm the reason
Lita was late.
Sorry.
Sounds like her report

I'm afraid facts

Looks like Suchi found
relatives in high places.
Gi: That statue Suchi's on

Linka! Grab my hand!
[ Screaming ]
Aah! Please help!
Aah!
Water!
Aah!
You are okay now.
Take it easy.
-Take it easy.
-That was horrible.
The smell!
Oh.
[ Coughs ]
I think it is time
to call it a day.
Yeah, you're right.
How about getting
some dinner?
Anything but beef.
I wonder
what cosmic revelations
Wheeler is having.
Wheeler: Wow!
How old's this place?
Several hundred years.
It was the home of Tulsidas,

We are waiting,
Wheeler.
Is something wrong?
Uh, no. Sorry.
Dr. Mishra,
terrible news!
Hundreds have fallen ill!
-From what?
-No one knows.
And it's spreading!
Spreading?
That's what Hanuman said.
Wheeler, what are you
talking about?
I'm not sure.
But maybe my friends
can help us figure out
what's going on.
Come on!
Nice to meet you, Lita.
Excuse me.
Man, you guys

Fire!
How did you do that?
Hey, I'm a man
of many talents.
There he is!
[ Squeaking ]
And there he goes.
Pee-yew!

Of course not!

Ick! A rat!
Huh?
Come on!
Stop them!
You come back here!
-Come on! Let's get out of here!
-Hurry!
[ Squeaking ]
[ Blows raspberry ]
This way!
That's my monkey!
[ Squeaking ]
[ Coughing ]
Over here!
Locked!
We are trapped.
Not for long!
Fire!
There they are!
We're out of here, Suchi!
[ Squeaking ]
If the processor blows,
all the sewage will
end up in the river.
We need a team beam!
Man, I wish I could
reach the others!
All right, Kwame!
Fire!
There's more to this guy
than meets the eye.
Wind.
Water.
Heart.
Yes!
By your powers combined,
I am Captain Planet!
Oh, my!
Go, Planet!
Go, Wheeler!
Take cover!
The plant's too pooped.
It's gonna pop!
Ugh!
Talk about some
shaky, breaky parts.
If I don't hurry,
Old Ma River's
gonna be pa-lluted.
I'd better put this mess
in the deep freeze.
[ Inhales deeply ]
A hero's work is never dung!
Well, actually,
today, it is.
The question is, what to do
with this, uh, sludgecicle?
Ah, a field of dreams.
Stay cool, sludger,
while I cover the bases.
Rounding first,
second, third!
He's home!
And, of course,
a mound in the middle.
Now, to tie up
the loose ends.
I know I con do it.
[conduit]
Ta-da!
[ Squeaking ]
[ Sighs ]
Do not fear me,
little brother.
[ Squeaks ]
I need your help.
Not bad for a temp job.
This new oxidation pond
should give the river
a rest from [clears throat]
unwelcome offerings.
Great work, Cap!
Yes.
You saved Ma Ganga.
I'm sorry I did not
listen to you.
[ Squeaking ]
Got it, Suchi.
What Hanuman wants, he gets.
Be right back!
Hanuman?
Now, he's doing it!
[ Squeaking ]
Yeah. You do make
a fine Hanuman, Suchi.
Why, you're a chimp
off the old block!
[ Cheering ]
Here's a little
herbal remedy!
Thank you!
Hanuman's gift
will cure the illness!
And the new oxidation
pond will keep the river clean.
If there's going to be
hope for the Ganges,
we must all learn
to treat the sacred river
with the respect she deserves.
The power is yours!
Lita: I am happy to see you
are all feeling better.
Love those
rehydration salts!
-Thank you.
-Much better.
You know, after all
our run-ins with Scum,
I figured Ganesh was telling me
the rat was evil.
But I should've realized --
the little guy's his friend.
He stands for teamwork.
No one's too little
to help.
[ Squeaking ]
Mishra: I thought
I might find you here.
I have good news, Lita.
I told your parents
what you did.
They have agreed
to let you study
at the university after all.
-That's great!
-Wow!
Thank you for everything,
Wheeler!
It's just lucky you guys
summoned Cap when you did.
I've been wondering
how you knew.
We did not summon
Captain Planet.
We were so sick,
we couldn't do anything --
except, you know.
I don't get it.
Then who summoned Cap?
Holy elephant?
Earth!
Fire!
Wind!
Water!
Heart!
All: Go, Planet!
By your powers combined,
I am Captain Planet!
