01x10 - Volcano's Wrath

[bunniefuu]

Our world is in peril.

Gaia, the spirit of the 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 the Soviet Union -- 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!

All: Go, Planet!

Captain Planet:
The power is yours!

♪♪

Let's go!
Keep that garbage moving.

Trash is cash,
cash for me -- Sly Sludge.

♪♪

Give me your putrid,
your vile, your bundled messes.

I'll dump them for a fee.

Sly Sludge will bury that
beautiful island with his trash.

What's the big deal?

In Brooklyn, I take the trash
to the curb,

and the garbage truck
would haul trash away.

And where do you think
they took it?

To the stadium of Yankees?

Trash does not
just disappear.

You're right, Linka.

Civilization is running out
of room for its garbage.

And so,
the uncivilized Sly Sludge

is becoming filthy rich
with his dirty tricks.

He promises to
take care of people's trash

but then dumps it
where he pleases.

Even on beautiful
Laipuno Island.

Don't worry, Gaia.
We will stop that con man.

Let's hit the eco-sub, g*ng.

All: Go, Planet!

Children --
they make a mother proud.

♪♪

I see the island!

Look out, Gi!

I hate to make waves,
but water!

[ All scream ]

That was close.

Oh, sorry about that, dude.

We were hot on the trail
of trash.

Trash? You mean you're bringing
more to my island

like those other boats?

Oh, time-out, pal.
You got us all wrong.

We're the Planeteers.

It's our job
to stop trash

and put polluters
out of business.

I'm Tommy Kahuku.

I know of just such a polluter.
I'll take you to him.

Sludge: Pollute? Me?

My trash dumping days
are done.

Watch carefully,
Planeteers.

Sly Sludge has found the answer
to the world's trash crisis.

I call it my Hypertronic
Microcompactor.

First, my Trashmatic
delivers some trash.

♪♪

[ Whirring ]

It is
an impressive gadget.

Big deal! What's he gonna do?
Slice and dice the trash?

Better than that.
I'm going to shrink it.

[ Zapping ]

♪♪

Wow!
Shrink it?

The trash!
It is gone.

Not gone, my boy.
Shrunk.

My amazing
Hypertronic Microcompactor

shrinks 10 tons of trash
to pea size.

It cannot be.
It's --

It's incredible.

But our slogan here
at Sludge Industries is,

we make garbage
a small problem.

Well, I've got people to see,
places to go,

trash to shrink.

I smell something rotten.

Let's get out of here.

That's right.

You kids run along
and enjoy the island...

...while I stay here
and laugh my head off

at the way I fooled you.

Old Sludge had one of his
sly tricks up his sleeve.

Shrinking trash!
That's a good one!

[ Laughs ]

Ma-Ti: There is no trash
in sight.

Could Sly Sludge be
telling the truth?

Gi: Ma-Ti, hands up!

That's heads up,
not hands up!

Hey, Sly Sludge
is the hottest thing

that ever happened
to Laipuno Island.

You fool! You're deserting
your own people.

Yo, Tommy, take it easy
on the babe.

That's no babe.
That's my sister Lenii.

She's Sludge's number-one
Trashmatic mechanic.

My brother's
a real doubting Tommy.

He only trusts
the old ways.

This island was
a quiet fishing community

until Sly Sludge came along.

And now we're making
waste-disposal history.

Mr. Sludge
is a real hero.

I fooled the locals,
I fooled the Planeteers,

I fooled everyone!

Now I can really make
trash history

with the biggest
dumping operation ever.

Here on Laipuno Island,

I've found
the ultimate dump site.

Wheeler: A volcano!

Yes. Don't worry. Mount Pele
hasn't erupted in centuries.

The old people say that when the
volcano spirit Pele was angered,

she exploded with lava.

And only Namaka,
the spirit of the sea,

could cool her fury.

That's how our island
was formed.

[ Speaks Russian ]

I just do not believe it.

You don't believe
our legend?

Oh, I am sorry,
Tommy.

I was thinking
of Sludge's demonstration.

Linka, we saw it
with our own eyes.

Unless we only saw
what Sludge wanted us to see.

I must get back
into that lab.

I'll go with you.

We'll both give Sludge's
micro-doohickey the once-over.

You were probably too shy
to ask me.

Come on.

They really shouldn't
go in there.

I better follow them.

That door is toast.

Hey.

[ Chuckles ] Next time,
try the doorknob.

This is the main
power switch.

And these must aim
the trash-shrinking cannon.

You need a little
old-fashioned Yankee ingenuity.

Let's be scientific here.

Eeny, meeny, miney, mo!

This one.

Not that button!

All right.
How about this one?

Oh, no.
We got more company.

Nyet! You'll overload
the system.

We've got some heavy-duty
bumper-car action

happening here.

[ Electricity crackles ]

Okay, okay, okay. Next time,
you get to press the buttons.

If there is
a next time.

Are you guys crazy?

Get out of there
before --

Aah!

There's nothing
we can do!

Aah!

Lenii's going to...

...fall through
that trap door?

I knew Sludge's
shrinking act

was as phony
as a three-ruble bill.

Great. We know
Sly's a slimeball,

but what happened
to Lenii?

[ Groans ]

Sludge: This contraption
is unbeatable.

I can dump this trash faster
than the barges can bring it in.

And people will pay me millions

because they'll think
I'm shrinking it.

[ Laughs ]

Ah, the sweet scent
of garbage.

It smells like money.

Help!

Don't you think so,
Lenii?

Lenii!

Help!
Mr. Sludge!

Help!

All right, Sludge!
Where's Lenii?

Let me just say
that Sludge Industries

has had a virtually blemish-free
safety record.

Help!

Uh...until tonight.

Wheeler, look!

She is trapped
in the trash bucket!

You better back up
this trash stasher, pronto!

There's nothing
I can do, kid.

This dumping system
is fast, automatic,

and one-way.

I've got to bail out
of this thing.

♪♪

Aah!

I'll stop
that trash now!

Fire!

I have to

Linka, hold on!
You can make it!

Aah!

No!

Ugh!

We need Captain Planet.

Kwame: Our friends
could not have just vanished.

Maybe they were shrunk.

Forget I said that.

There is trouble.

Wheeler, Linka, and Lenii.

Lenii!

Welcome aboard

Fasten your seat belt.

Whatever you say,
Captain.

Thanks,
Captain Planet.

Wheeler: Way to go, Cap!

Hey, Wheeler.

Hey, thanks
for the lift.

No problem.
I love to carpool.

This is Sludge Industries'
answer to the garbage glut.

Well, hiding it where you
thought no one would look, huh?

Sounds like the same
sloppy Sly to me.

Calm down, C.P.

D-Don't get your crystals
in an uproar.

You've been dumping
in the volcano all along!

Give me a break, kid.

That volcano is the world's
biggest trash incinerator.

How could I resist?

My brother was right.
I was a fool to trust you.

[ Rumbling ]

Oh! Uh-oh!

The volcano!

It's going to blow!

[ Rumbling continues ]

[ Grunts ]

That does it.

I've never had a dump site
dump back at me.

I'm out of here.

Clear the area, everybody.
Fast!

Let's get out of here!

♪♪

Hold it, Sludge!
You're busted.

Hey!

Forget Sludge!

The lava will soon
be overflowing.

The village
is in great danger!

Lenii:
The Trashmatics!

Uh, don't you think we ought to
worry about the people first?

I can rig Sludge's Trashmatics
to help us dig a canal.

Da! And divert the lava
away from the homes.

Great idea.

Round up the Planeteers
and lose that lava.

I'll chill out
that volcano.

Let's do it.

[ Coughing ]

This smoke is pollution
from the burning trash.

It's got me
all choked up.

I'll have to find some other way

to stop this volcano
from erupting.

[ Coughs ]

Uh-oh.
"X" marks the spot.

A hospital!

This place could use
some intensive care.

[ Grunts ]

First, a little operating room.

You're in good hands
with Dr. Planet.

Another successful
transplant.

I hope the Planeteers
can handle that river of lava.

The Trashmatics are reprogrammed
and ready to roll!

Here comes the hot sauce.

Sludge has mistreated the Earth
once too often.

Now the Earth
is fighting back.

We can divert the flow
and lead it around the village.

Okay, everybody,
just follow my lead.

Buckets down!

Let them roll!

♪♪

We must dig deeper.
The lava is too strong!

Lenii: The lava is clear
of the village.

we saved it!

Wheeler:
Now if we can figure out a way
to save us.

♪♪

[ Brakes hiss ]

Sorry I'm late, g*ng.

No, Cap.
You're just in time.

Even your crystal wall cannot
hold back the lava for long.

The fire goddess
is indeed angry.

But didn't Tommy say
the spirit of the sea

could soothe her anger?

Yes. It is said that
there is a balance

between Pele
and Namaka.

How can that help us?

Water.

With enough water,

the lava would cool
and solidify.

Sounds good to me,
Planeteers.

Maybe I can give the spirit
of the sea a helping hand.

All: Go, Planet!

Aloha, suckers.

I'll miss this profit paradise
when it blows up.

But I do have a few souvenirs
to remember it by.

You can keep the hot trash.
I'll take the cold cash.

[ Laughs ]

Lava them and leave them,
I always say,

especially if you've been paid
in advance.

Going somewhere,
Sly?

What?!

♪♪

Surf's up, Sludge.

Oh, no! Wait!

The lava pressure
is growing.

Is Captain Planet
really powerful enough

to stop the legendary Pele?

My friend, Captain Planet has
the power of the Earth itself.

Whoa!

Captain Planet:
I sure hope Pele will forgive me
for barging in.

♪♪

Awesome! It's working.

Cap's chilling out
the lava.

That lava is solid.

Now I'll stop
the volcano.

What is Captain Planet
up to now?

I hate to make waves,
but it's time to sh**t the tube.

Kwame: Look at that
column of water.

Gi: He's using it
to cool the volcano.

Bull's-eye!

All: All right,
Captain Planet!

Thanks,
Captain Planet.

It's just too bad that
that double-crossing
Sludge got away.

Not quite.

Sly Sludge
is high and dry

on Laipuno's
newest beach.

Good day, officer.

The name's Sludge --
Sly Sludge.

This is a pleasure.
You know, I --

[ Handcuffs click ]

You'll regret this.

I don't understand, officer.
Why don't you trust me?

Our island's enemy
has been defeated.

Unfortunately,
Tommy,

the greatest enemy
is the trash itself.

I really thought that Sludge
had the answer

to the world's
trash crisis.

We all want to believe
there are easy solutions

to Earth's problems.

There's something you can do
that is easy.

Recycling!

At last, Laipuno is treating
trash the proper way.

Recycling trash
is simple and easy.

Anyone can do it.

Wheeler,
what are you doing?

You told me to sort the trash
for recycling,

so I'm sorting.

This pile is all stuff that
my favorite drinks come in.

And this pile is...

Wheeler,
you've got it all wrong.

You sort it
by what it is made of.

Paper, glass,
and aluminum

can all be turned back
into something useful.

But before we can recycle,

we have to
sort properly.

Hey, give me a break, Linka.
I'm new at this.

I forgot. Some catch on
faster than others.

Nobody likes a show-off,
Suchi.

♪♪

All: Go, Planet!

Captain Planet:
Many of the things we throw away
can be used again.

That's called recycling.

The bottles in our trash
can be turned into windows.

And old papers
into new books.

The more trash we recycle,

the few of Earth's
precious resources we use up

and the more beautiful
it stays.

Together we can
make a difference.

Recycle!
