Captain Planet: The power is yours!
Wheeler: Whoa! Big mama sure is a beauty.
I wouldn't get too intimate, Wheeler.
Hey, you want great animal shots,
you gotta get up close and personal.
Right?
[ Elephant trumpets ]
Oh, not that personal!
Come on! Over here!
Yah!
Aah!
Need a lift?
Cutting it a little close, eh, Chike?
Kwame: Amazing how something so big can move so fast.
You ain't kiddin'.
I almost got stuck between Jumbo's cuticles.
There's a shot that'll keep you out of trouble, Wheeler.
Linka: This country is like the Garden of Eden.
And, as long as these little guys are around,
it'll stay that way.
What is it?
Tsetse fly.
They cause sleeping sickness in cattle.
So ranchers have to stay out of their territory.
Pretty powerful little fella.
Yeah, but massive pesticide spraying
is wiping them out,
opening this land for cattle ranching
and other development.
But there must be ways to use the land that won't hurt it.
Sure, game ranching, for one.
Trophy hunting and tourism bring in some bucks as well.
Yes. When I'm not working on films with Ricky,
I make a pretty good living leading photo safaris.
I wish everyone would trade their guns for cameras.
To each his own.
The most important thing is to preserve the resource.
Aah!
[ Grunting ]
[ Chattering ]
I'll get you, you little...
[ Laughs ] You're not supposed to feed
the animals, Wheeler.
[ Laughter ]
Very funny.
Besides getting people to laugh at comedy shots of Wheeler,
do you think this film can really make a difference, Rick?
I hope it will get people to start respecting the land.
At the very least,
it'll be a reminder of how much we're losing.
If anyone can bring attention to the devastation of Africa,
it's Ricky.
[ Engine sputters ]
Uh-oh. Darn battery.
We need a push start.
With that out there?
You don't look like much of a meal.
Nice kitty.
I hope.
Ultralights! Cool!
Not as cool as the place we're going.
And these helmets have radios
so we can communicate with each other.
I'll catch up with you in the delta.
Right now, I've got some rhinos to tag.
Ma-Ti: I've never seen so much wildlife in one place.
It's the dry season.
Animals all over migrate here for water.
Now, get ready for one of the most memorable sites
you'll ever see.
[ Gasps ]
What?
It wasn't like this a month ago.
[ Elephant trumpets ]
What could've caused this? That dam?
Linka: Those hoses are sucking up all the water.
This is unreal.
Don't know who's behind this atrocity.
Without water, the animals will never make it.
And we must help them.
Heart!
Turn back, my friends. There is danger ahead.
Impressive, Ma-Ti.
But thousands of thirsty animals are migrating this way.
And we can't stop them all.
Kwame: Maybe we should split up
and follow the pipes to their sources.
We can't just leave these animals here to die.
You're right.
Kwame, Linka, Wheeler, follow the north pipeline
and see what you'll find.
We'll land here and do what we can, then head south.
Wheeler: Sounds like a plan.
Wheeler, film everything you see.
We need evidence.
Gotcha.
Chike, change of plans.
I heard it all, Ricky. Sounds awful.
I'll see what I can find out in town.
Meanwhile, you be careful.
Easy, now. Heart!
That's one.
This is going to take a while.
Kwame: Cattle, that explains why they rerouted the water.
But why is the land on the cattle side
so messed up?
This ecosystem is fragile.
Cattle graze it to death, literally.
Who would start a cattle ranch here?
Would you believe Hoggish Greedly?
Rick: That's all we can do for these animals.
The important thing is getting their water back.
Let's get this crate down so me and my camera
can get the goods on Greedly.
Wheeler, your radio's open!
Get off the air before the wrong people hear you!
Greedly: Too late, bile boobs.
I hear ya and see ya.
We gotta get that film, Rigger.
Right, boss! Uh, how come?
If the global bank people
find out about our bad-beef scheme,
they might cancel our loans.
Oh. Oh!
[ Brakes squeak ]
What about my allowance?
Unless we clip the Snoop-eteers' wings...
[ Gasps ]
Consider 'em clipped, boss.
Careful!
No sweat, Linka. Nothin' to worry about.
[ Boom! ]
Aah!
[ Screaming ]
We are out of the flying pan and into Greedly's line of fire!
Ma-Ti: Looten Plunder's Diamond Mine?
Bad news.
What would they need water for?
Rick: Cooling and processing, no doubt.
But we're going to have to go in and document it.
I doubt Plunder will welcome us with open arms.
More like loaded arms.
This air vent should lead to one of the main shafts.
All clear.
Pay dirt!
This is what they're using all that water for?
Right. And wrecking the land to boot
just so a few people can get rich.
Phew.
Working down here must be terrible.
Plunder: You think our miners have it bad?
Wait'll you see what we do to meddling eco-spies.
Greedly took care of your little friends
and tipped us off.
Looks like we're caught between a blockhead
and a hard case.
Um, you can be the blockhead, Oakey.
- Oh, no. You, Dokey. - No, no, you.
- Unh-unh. - No, you're the one!
I'll take that camera.
Ah, ooh, ooh! Ooh! Ow!
Mr. Plunder, you okay?
Wake up.
Come on, get up.
Let's get out of here!
After them! They're getting away!
It ain't safe, Mr. Plunder.
Why not?
Well, remember how you told us
to fix the brakes on those mine cars?
Yeah, we, um...
Well, we didn't quite get around to it.
Uh, no, we didn't quite get
to fixin' the track, neither.
Your negligence could end up hurting people!
Ooh, and I like it.
We did good?
Looks clear.
Let's stop this thing and find a way out.
- Uh-oh. - No brakes!
[ Screaming ]
Maybe this'll help!
We're going way too fast!
Fast is okay.
It's stopping that's going to hurt.
[ Screaming ]
Hang on to me!
Whew! That was exciting.
Plunder nearly got us that time.
Nearly doesn't count.
Yeah.
But I wonder what Greedly's done to the others.
Hey. Yuck.
Check it out.
Kwame: Ugh! Cattle are not native to Africa.
They have no immunity to local parasites or disease.
Rigger: But, boss, I'm afraid of the dark!
You should be more afraid of me!
I want that film.
Head for that building over there.
Time to make like cows and mooove.
Wheeler!
I gotta get this.
DDT and dieldrin?
Those pesticides are so deadly,
most countries have outlawed them.
With all those Planet-pains runnin' around,
we better speed things up.
Uh, what are we doin'?
Dumpin' this DDT on the delta.
It'll kill every tsetse fly and mosquito around.
[ Laughs ]
Why do we wanna kill bugs, boss?
'Cause then we can use that land for cattle ranching
and convince the pencil heads at the global bank
to finance draining the rest of the wetlands.
But the pesticides'll end up in the beef.
So what?
I'm not gonna eat it.
In fact [burps] nobody is.
- They're not? - Course not!
This whole project's pork. Our cows ain't fit to eat.
[ Snorts ]
Bozhe moi!
Are you recording this conversation, Wheeler?
Tape's rollin', babe.
And now it's time for us to roll.
Come on. Home free.
[ Can clatters ]
I found the Planet-punks, boss.
Yip! Yip! I found 'em!
Get 'em!
Not this time! Wind!
Let's book!
We're out of here!
Over my dead body!
Hang tight!
Fire!
[ Snorts ]
I'm gonna exterminate those Planet-pests!
I don't get it!
Bio-brat brains should be everywhere!
I thought we were lookin' for bones, Dokey.
Yeah, I know, Oakey. But this ain't a bone.
Ow!
No, but it sure is pretty.
Hey. See, Mr. Plunder?
Don't bother me with your nonsense.
There's the ultralight. We made it.
Or maybe not.
- Good to see you! - You're okay!
Let's crank this baby up.
Watch out for that pipeline!
Huh?
I will buy us some time. Earth!
I can't get enough lift.
Then we need a push. Wind!
Oops. They got away.
Kwame: There they are, Greedly's pesticide planes.
We need more speed.
How about another boost, Linka?
Da! Wind!
Hang on!
Since you're the booster for this buggy,
Kwame, Gi, and I will do a little wing walking.
- Go, Kwame! - Right!
Aah!
Wind!
Gotcha!
That's far enough.
Okay, okay!
But why are you doing this?
Mr. Greedly's going to make me rich.
Oh, yeah? Has he ever paid you for anything?
No.
And he's not gonna. Think about it.
Greedly's long on promises and short on payments.
Mission accomplished.
Nice work, Planeteers.
Two down, one to go.
After we drop our poison payload, Rigger,
we'll go back and take care of those eco-insects.
[ Snorts ]
Don't have to, boss!
They're right next to us!
Huh?
Then it's bug bombs away!
There you go, little guy.
[ Elephant trumpets ]
Ooh, looks like trouble.
That cloud's headed this way.
Talk about a big bug bomb.
Hey, Kwame, it's time for a nightcap.
Then let our powers combine. Earth!
Fire!
Wind!
Gi: Water!
Heart!
By your powers combined,
I am Captain Planet!
I'll just drop in and put an end
to Greedly's deadly downpour.
You've got 10 to bail, Greedly.
I'm confiscating this plane to clean up your mess.
Hey! You can't do that!
9... 8...
7, 6, 5...
4...
Gee, boss, this special meal
you ordered took up too much space!
We only have one parachute!
One's all I need!
Hey, wait for me!
Get off me, Rigger!
You're too heavy!
They say nature abhors a vacuum.
But I think it'll like this one.
Now to do a little sucking up to the environment.
[ Cheering ]
- Yay! - Captain Planet!
Phew. I'm glad that's over.
Da. Now, we can relax.
[ Gasps ]
Those eco-meddlers think they've won.
But I've still got a shot to get this delta gone.
Unh-unh-unh. No strafing the spray planes.
Bank shot! Behind the back!
Oh, between the legs!
Looks like Plunders putting the wet back in the wetlands.
[ Laughs ]
That should wrap up our problems
and save our...
dam!
Bozhe moi! Too much water!
I'll end this flood in a flash.
The rain again falls plainly on the, uh, delta.
[ Cheering ]
That's amazing!
[ Grunting ]
Come on out, pretty rock.
Will you stop playing with that stupid rock?
You better stop, Oakey.
I'll get rid of it, Mr. Plunder.
[ Gasps ] Wait!
That's the world's biggest...
diamond.
[ Sobs ]
You dimwit, now find it.
I'll try, Mr. Plunder.
I don't think you have time.
But... But... But my diamond.
Smile. You're on Captain's camera.
Help! Help!
Have a heart!
Man, when they see this film,
the global bank will have to think twice
about the projects they fund.
Do you think change can happen soon enough
to save the delta?
Only if people care and find a way
to use Africa's resources to benefit everyone.
Rick: If not, you're looking at the end of Eden.
Earth!
Fire!
Wind!
Water! Heart!
All: Go, Planet!
