Captain Planet and the Planeteers (1990) s01e03 Episode Script
Beast of the Temple
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.
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.
Go, Planet! The power is yours.
Come along, old friend.
Time to go home.
The jungle is no longer safe at night.
Did you hear something? Just the wind.
But I've never heard the wind sound so frightening before.
Hurry, old friend! Hurry! What was that? It's Faid Pa, the dragon beast! The evil spirit has come alive! Look at those ruined rice beds.
-How will those poore people feed themselfs now? -What could be causing this terrible destruction, Gaia? -You must find the answers to these questions, Planeteers.
It's up to you.
I can tall you, that the land and people are in great danger.
You must leave immediately for Thailand.
Thailand? I have a friend there.
His name is New Wak.
I met him at school.
Then you can seek his help, Gi.
We can not allow this mysterious evil to continue.
Mysterious evil? -That's what Gaia said.
She should told us more at what we're getting into.
If Gaia does not know what's going on, it must b a real mystery.
-Check you seat belts, everybody! We're going to land.
-There's a landinf strip.
Thailand, here we come.
Wouldn't call this a red carpet welcome.
Where is everybody? -Maybe they are to shy to come out.
Or just unfriendly.
-Not unfriendly They're afraid.
New Wak! I was getting worried, you would keep our appointment.
I was trying to make the villagers come out of hidding.
We should have realised, that our Geo cruiser might scare them.
They thought it was the dragon beast returning.
Dragon beast? You puttin' us on, right? Come with me.
I'll explane.
My people think Faid Pa is destroying the land and crops.
-What the heck's a Faid Pa? An ancient evil spirit.
A dragon beast, that spits fire.
It causes destruction wherever it goes.
Great.
We've come all this way, to fight some old superstition that doesn't exist.
Maybe it does and maybe is doesn't.
I was thought not to believe in evil spirits, but something here is ruining my homeland.
My people believe it is Faid Pa.
Oh, no.
This is terrible.
It's even worse, then we saw on the monitors.
This was where we grew our food.
My people are facing starvation.
There going to move away.
Of course they wanna move away.
That's part of my plan.
Tell the truth, Rigger.
Have you ever seen a prettier site, then all that ruination? Never, Mr.
Greedly.
Not in all my born days.
No, no, no.
Come on, everybody.
Let's go back to the village.
This place is to depressing.
You ain't seen nothin' yet, bloud saving eco freaks.
One the villagers get spooked by the dragon beast, there really gonna tear the land.
Chew it up and spit it out.
I'll hog every ruby I can find for myself.
What was that? -Watch out! What is the matter, Wheeler? Did the little pussycat scare you? Not scared, Kwame old pal.
Just curious.
Back in New York they used to say I had nerves of steel.
It appears in Thailand your steel nerves have gotten a little rusty.
Cute.
Real cute.
That is no tiger.
Look, over there! It's Faid Pa, the dragon beast! Run! That's no superstition! What is that thing? It's spreading out of control! Quick, we got to do something! Water! Earth! The fire is too big! We can not stop it! It's time to call Captain Planet! Let our powers combine.
Earth! Fire! Wind! Water! -Heart! By your powers combined, I am Captain Planet! -Go, Planet! I'm sorry for getting you into this mess.
No problem, now that Captain Planet's here, we'll be ok.
I hope.
What's a nice guy, like me, doing in a dive like this.
Time for a little pluming job, to redirect the river's flow.
All right! It's shower time.
I'm gonna wash that fire, right out of the forest! Rain? -All right! Go, Planet! The fire's out so, I guess I'll be going.
Until then, remember.
The power is yours.
That's incredible.
He does come in handy every now and then.
I appologize New Wak, I didn't believe that stuff about a Faid Pa dragon beast, but whatever that thing is, it definitly is not superstition.
-We must discover what this creature is then.
-Let's divide into teams and find out.
Maybe, it was not so smart, to split up like this.
I kinda like the idea.
First time you and I had a chance to be alone.
It's the dragon beast! Run! Wheeler, help me! -What happened? My foot is stuck! It won't move! Wheeler, run! Save yourself! Please, Wheeler, run! Get away! Let me show you, what we do to evil spirits, where I come from! Wheeler, no! Fire! Guess it's fireproof.
That's right, follow me! Come on, you stupid superstition! Come on, try and catch me! I'm out of here! You've got sharp teeth, for a superstition.
At least it scared the crocks away.
Look like good, old Faid Pa's took a prisoner.
A Planeteer! He got himself a Planeteer! I think it's time for a pick-me-up.
Hey, what's happening? Where's the last place you saw Wheeler? He must have slipped down somewhere.
Poor Wheeler, if something does happen to him I will never forgive myself.
Hey, are blind or something? Go left before we crash into those things.
So Faid Pa, that so called evil spirit, is really a machine.
-A self mining machine.
As soon as it scares off all the villagers, I'll bring a hundred more to the jungle.
We'll destroy every living thing and turn a whole country site into an guly grave pit.
The Planeteers won't let you get away with it, Greedly! How can they stop me? They don't even know where I am! -And the one who does, is our prisoner.
Hey, everybody! Over here! Look at these strange tracks.
-Evil spirits don't leave tracks.
They lead into the river.
We've lost the trail.
I'll check the bottom of the river.
There maybe a clue.
Gi, look out! Wind! Thanks, Linka.
He belongs downriver, with the rest of his pals.
Is it safe for Gi to go in now, Ma-Ti? Heart? I sense that all the crocodiles are gone.
See anything? Just a lot of marks and some rocks.
As if something heavy was dragged away.
That is all? No sign of Wheeler? No.
Perhaps Wheeler's thoughts can guide us to him.
Heart.
I sense evil.
It is all around him.
Wait, there's something in his mind.
Something he saw.
Pretty tall spires.
Some kind of noise.
What about Wheeler? -I sensed his presence, but evil thought blocked my vision.
We'll never going to find him.
The three spires you saw, Ma-Ti.
They must be part of a temple.
Why? You know some ruins, that look like that? Yes.
The ancient temple of the Wogies.
Fill 'er up fast, Rigger! It's time to scare off some more locals.
Can we ruin more then one land? Can we Mr.
Greedly? This time we'll ruin everything in site.
There's the temple of the Wogies.
-Yes, those were the spires in Wheeler's mind.
But I still sense his presence surrounded by evil.
Is there any way to get inside, without being seen? Legende says the temple has a secret underwater entrance.
If there is, I'll find it.
Mr.
Greedly, look! The Planeteer pests are coming to spoile our fun! You're wrong, Rigger.
We're gonna spoil there's.
The Faid Pa will fix 'em.
You better call that dragon machine off, Greedly.
What are you gonna do about it, punk? Hey, I didn't give you permission to leave.
Hey, you heard Mr.
Greedly! Stop! So you want to play games? Water! There's a river outside, that will teach you a lesson.
Hey, those walls are suppose to keep the water out! Nice work, Gi.
Those slobs could use a bath.
Save me, Mr.
Greedly! Save me! Go soak your head! I'm savin' myself.
! Wheeler, thank goodness you're safe! Hey, if I known you would act like this, I'd get myself captured all the time.
Well done, Gi! Run, everybody! The beast is back! To the canoe! Now what? We can't outrun it! -And my power couldn't stop it! Let our powers combine! Earth! Fire! Wind! Water! -Heart! By your power combined, I am Captain Planet! Go, Planet! Time to branch out.
I'm feeling fine, how about you? That dragon is a real drag.
Round 2, coming up.
Greedly should've told him, to watch his step.
Let's get out of here, Rigger! That's what you get, when your trying to turn the world into a gravel pit.
Awesome! What a wast.
Best way to clean up litter is to recycle it.
A brand new plantin machine! Thanks, Captain Planet.
This will help us replant the rice paddies.
So long, Planeteers! You did a fine job! And remember.
The power is yours! -Go, Planet! My people and I can not thank you enough, Planeteers.
No thanks are necessary.
Protecting the planet is our job.
And because it's a job, everyone needs to be involved in, we're making you an honorary Planeteer.
Oh, thank you.
Please, come again.
Soon.
We will.
Good bye New Wak.
I'm gonna miss this place.
I thought you did not want to come here? That was before you hugged me.
-I had no choice.
It was either you or the dragon beast.
Go, Planet! This place looks terrible.
Nothing will grow here.
I know, Kwame.
Many forms of mining destroy the land.
But there's something you can do, that will stop more of our beautiful earth looking like this.
-Instead of throwing away your aluminum cans, foil and other reusables, take them to a collection center.
Be a Planeteer.
Recycle.
We do! -The power is yours!
