01x17 - Don't Drink the Water

[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 --

When the five powers combine,

they summon
Earth's greatest champion --

The power is yours!

Looten Plunder:
My fellow polluters,

I thank you for coming.

If we all stick together,

we can stick it
to planet Earth

like it's never
been stuck before!

Just tell us
the good part, Plunder --

how we're going to
get rich.

The word is filthy rich,
Mr. Greedly.

Watch.

Hey, Plunder,
what are you trying to pull?

The plug, Dr. Blight,
on the world's water supply.

We're going to contaminate
the water systems

of every major city,

divert clean water
to our bottling plants,

and sell it to thirsty citizens
at astronomical prices.

Ha ha!

How are we going to
pollute the water?

Toxic waste,
sewage, chemicals.

The opportunities
are endless.

Mmm.

And since people are already
spoiling their water supplies...

We're just speeding up
the process a bit.

All in favor,
say "pollute"!

Pollute!

Pollute!

Pollute!

[ Foghorn blows ]

Greedly:
When I hit that garbage barge
with two torpedoes,

this river water
will be undrinkable!

Fire one!

Yep, Mr. Greedly.
Yep, yep.

Fire two!

♪♪

That scow is trashed.
Yep, yep.

Now this water isn't fit
for pigs to slop in!

[ Laughs, snorts ]

What better place
than a sewer plant

to help the water supply
commit sewer-cide?

When Dr. Blight ruins
a reservoir, it stays ruined.

With the toxic waste
loaded in my scumicopter...

I'm ready for takeoff!

♪♪

One more mountain lake wasted!

[ Smooches ]

We've polluted
every drop of water

within 100 miles
of this city.

Wonderful!

As soon as the people
get thirsty enough,

we'll start
raking in the cash.

Earth!

Here you go,
tree baby.

[ Chuckles ] So now you flirt
with trees, eh, Wheeler?

Come on, you two.
We're almost finished.

Right. My turn.

Water!

♪♪

All right, Gi!
Outstanding!

At this rate, we'll have
a whole forest planted by noon.

That will have to wait,
Planeteers.

We have an eco-emergency.

♪♪

What is wrong with
the PlanetVision, Gaia?

It's registering
the worst water pollution

in Earth's history.

Can you tell where the threat
is coming from?

The last signal
came from central Europe.

That is not much
to go on.

I know,
but it will have to do.

You must find out what's behind
this terrible problem,

and quickly.

♪♪

[ Beeping ]

What is it?

The pollution monitor
is getting strong signals.

All the lakes and rivers
around here are contaminated.

Let us go down
for a closer look.

♪♪

Do you notice anything funny
about this city?

Yeah. No people.

Wheeler:
It's like a ghost town.

Planeteer alert!
There are the people.

Look!
It's Looten Plunder.

And Hoggish Greedly.

What are they
doing together?

As soon as I land this thing,
we're going to find out.

Gi: Let's split up.

Wheeler and I will
check out Plunder and Greedly.

And we will try to find out

what's causing
the water pollution.

[ Engine starts ]

Keep in touch
through Ma-Ti!

Yes. If you need us,
drop me a thought.

Man: What's going on?

[ Crowd murmuring ]

No need to push.

There's plenty of Plunder's
pure water for everybody.

[ Snorts, gulps ]

[ Crowd murmuring ]

I bet they polluted
the city's water

so they could sell
their water.

Cute.

That means Plunder's
got clean water.

We need to find it.

Yeah. And when he finishes here,
let's follow him.

What are you doing?

Taking a sample
of toxic waste.

It's as strong
as acid.

This must be where
they dumped it in.

No time for that.

Plunder and Greedly are leaving.
Let's tail them.

There's got to be another way
in. Let's check around back.

♪♪

[ Engines shut off ]

This will do.

[ Elevator bell dings ]

Hey! Ugh! Ugh!

Ugh! It's a trap!

I'll burn us out of here.

Fire!

Huh?

All the eco-rats

We prefer
to think of ourselves

as a water pollution
syndicate.

Soon the whole world
will be thirsty

and filthy and sick.

I'll drink to that.

[ Slurps ]

You'll never pull it off,
Plunder! Ugh!

Oh, won't we?

Except for our supply,

there isn't a drop
of clean water left in the city.

Bleak, Rigger, lock them
in the holding room.

Yep, yep, Mr. Plunder.
You've got it!

[ Device buzzing ]

The level of toxics in this
puddle would k*ll an elephant.

Just like all the water
we have tested.

It is all poisoned.
What will people do?

We need some fast answers,
and for that we need fast help.

Captain Planet.

I will send a message
to Wheeler and Gi.

Heart!

Ugh!

[ Door closes ]
Wouldn't you know?

Plunder's penthouse
comes complete with a prison.

Ma-Ti is trying
to contact us.

Yeah. I hear him, too.

We should tell him
we're captured.

Right now
it's more important

to save the city.

Ma-Ti needs our help
to call Captain Planet.

Huh?

I better get in there
and stop them

before they can call
Captain Planet.

Wait.

Let Captain Planet come.

Ma-Ti:
Gi and Wheeler are ready.

Then let our powers
combine.

Earth!

Fire!

Wind!

Water!

Heart!

Aah!

Captain Planet:
By your powers combined,

I am Captain Planet.

Yeah!

All: Go, Planet!

[ Gasps ]

All the city's water supplies
have been polluted,

Captain Planet.

The people are dying
of thirst.

My computer, MAL,
traced down Captain Planet.

He's in the city's water system
with the rest of the Planeteers.

Well, let's not
keep them waiting.

If we can find Plunder's
bottling plant,

we can bring safe water
to the city.

What is that?

A flood
of polluted water!

We will drown!

[ All shouting ]

Quick! Get in that pipe.

Now to cap it off.

This temporary seal
should keep you safe.

[ All grunting ]

The water system
is flooded with pollution,

just like you ordered.

What about
Captain Planet?

He's belly-up in the harbor
with the other sick fish.

Wonderful.
With him out of the way,

the world is
our toxic oyster.

[ Seagull cries ]

♪♪

I think we have landed.

Landed? Where?

Let us find out.

Come on, everybody.

If we all work together,
we can kick this open.

Look at this place.
What a mess!

Oh, no!
Captain Planet.

He is hurt.

Pull him up
on the sand.

[ All grunting ]

Ma-Ti: All the pollution
in the water weakened him.

Get this garbage
off him!

That is not going to help.

We need clean water.

If we do not help him,
soon he will --

Do not even think it.
We must find pure water.

Here. You take
the water tester.

I will stay
with Captain Planet.

Come, Ma-Ti.
Let us search.

Hang on, Captain Planet.

Please, hold on.

We will never find
clean water around here.

There! Down the beach!

An old tanker.

Maybe there is
a water tank in it.

[ Door creaks ]

Did you find any?

[ Lid thuds ]

[ Clattering ]

There is no water.
Not a drop.

They are all empty.

[ Grunting ]

[ Clattering ]

That is it, Ma-Ti!
Stop!

What is it?

A drop. Listen.

[ Water drops ]

I do not hear.

I think it is...

Water!

It is coming
from over there.

I will test it.

[ Beeping ]

It is not as clean as the water
on Hope Island, but it will do.

I hope there is enough in here
to clean up Captain Planet.

Let us find out.

[ Grunts ]

Yes!

There.
He is all cleaned up.

Let us hope the sun
will now re-energize him.

Come on, Captain Planet.
Please!

Give him your power,
sun.

[ Suit powering up ]

Thanks, Planeteers.

We are just happy
you are okay.

But there's somebody
who won't be happy.

Excuse me, but I have some
unfinished business to clean up.

I am out of here!

Boy! Those guys must have
run into trouble.

Then we'll just
break ourselves out.

Without our powers?
Impossible.

Then again,
maybe not.

Maybe for once, a little
toxic waste might come in handy.

Huh?

[ Sizzling ]

Was that the sample you took
near that polluted stream?

Yes. No wonder people
aren't drinking the water.

Allow me.

Ugh!

You did it!

[ Blows ]

Are we Planeteers,
or what?

Let's get to our eco-cycles
and blow this pop stand.

We've got polluters
to punish.

She got away.

It wasn't our fault,
Mr. Plunder. Nope, nope.

Got away? You fools!
I told you to watch them.

They did.
They watched her escape.

Plunder,
this is not going well.

Yeah. Your great idea
is starting to come apart.

Don't be a fool.

Captain Planet and
his three other do-gooders

have already
been eliminated.

No!

I'll get you for this,
Plunder!

The only thing you're going to
get is trouble.

Throw him
in the truck.

What about

All: Go, Planet!

Go, Planet!

Captain Planet: Every year,
tons of toxic waste

are dumped into rivers,
lakes, and streams.

Much of it comes
from people's homes.

So to clean up Earth's water,
clean up your act.

Do not dump chlorine, bleach,
solvents,

and other toxic materials
down your drain.

And keep things like motor oil
and batteries out of your trash.

To find an appropriate site
to dump these toxic materials,

contact your local
sanitation department.
