"You are extraordinary, my sons." "Unlike anything the world has ever seen." "Bound for greatness." "Destined to protect the people of New York." "A dark force is growing." "A criminal organization known as the Foot Clan." "So named because they step over the good people of this city with no regard." "Their leader, The Shredder, will come at you with ferocity." "His Foot Clan will outnumber you." "The people of New York will look upon you as their only hope." "Eyes focused." "Elbows locked." "Stance low." "And we begin." "Be one with the blades." "Lead their path." "I know you are eager to answer their calls, but your training is not yet complete." "The world below must remain your home." "As your father, you must trust me." "Patience." "You're not yet ready to go above ground." "But I believe when that day comes and you rise to the streets, you are going to be responsible for amazing things." "Mr. Rivetti!" "Mr. Rivetti." "Mr. Rivetti, please." "You're the most persistent human I've ever met in my life, I swear." "Look, I already told the cops everything, all right?" "But maybe there's a detail you could've forgotten to share with the police." "Sweetheart, you don't forget something like that." "Ten guys storm in here, broad daylight, force us to the ground at gunpoint." "And these are restricted chemicals." "Benzyl cyanide and some deaminating agents, too." "You don't just buy this stuff, even on the black market." "Wait, you said deaminating agents, those are used in genetic research." "Is there anybody else that's trafficking these sort of chemicals besides you?" "There's one other high-security facility along this waterfront." "But they don't move nearly as much cargo as we do." "O'Neil!" "We're live in 30 minutes!" "Come on!" "Uh..." "No, no, no, I'll be right back." "Please don't go anywhere." "I'll be right back." "Come on, you're killing me." "I'm working." " That's a paying job?" " No." "Because we have an actual paying job." "Look, you don't think that every crime reporter in the city isn't trying to work this Foot Clan story?" "I know that, but there is a new angle on this, and I am this close to getting it." "I just need a couple of more..." "Let's just stick to what we're good at." "Let's stick to what we're good at." "We're good at it." "In five, four..." "Hi, guys, this is April O'Neil from Channel 6 News and I am here in beautiful New York City on the first day of spring." "And you know what that means." "It is time to shed that pesky winter weight." "And here with me today is celebrity fitness trainer Harley Pasternak." " Hi, Harley." " Good morning, April." "Twenty years I've studied the animal kingdom." "There are fat pigs, there are fat cows." "There are no fat birds." "All right, I want you to visualize a sexy seagull." "So we're going to squat down and flap your wings." "Right over there." "Full extension." "Picture you're leaving the cold north and you're flying." "You're migrating." "Four years of journalism school so that I can do that." "Four years of my life, Vern." "It's embarrassing." "Look, O'Neil, I get it, you want to be a serious journalist." "I see you sniffing around the newsroom for the big stories." "But it's also okay to just give people something a little lighter." "A little..." "Little froth." " Froth?" " You know, how, when you get a coffee, it's just, like, coffee, then they put a little froth on it." "It's kind of nice." "Vern, that's foam." "Yes, foam, froth, you get the point." "It's just..." "It's nice, it tastes good, it's candy." "You ever heard the expression, "Never take candy from a baby"?" "It's because even babies love candy!" "It's nice." "And you're giving people something they like that's good and nice." "They look at you and they see, "Wow, there's a nice..." "There's..." ""...candy." The point is, I think that you should be rewarded, not punishing yourself." "Okay?" "And I'm..." "I'm prepared to reward you." "I say that we go to my buddy's old restaurant downtown." "It's very vibey..." "We just ate on the way over here." "No, I know we just..." "I'm not saying for a full meal, we're just getting appeteasers." "I got to go finish that interview." "I'll see you at the office, Vern!" "I will see you at the office!" "I just wanted to follow up, Mr. Rivetti." "Are you kidding me?" "How did you get my number?" "If I could just ask one more question." "Listen, I already told you everything I know about this crime, everything." "Okay, you wanna know anything else, you go back down to the docks and you see my guy Stan." "He'll tell you anything else you need to know, okay?" "And hey, do me a favor." "Lose my number, all right?" "Good." "It's clear." "Let's open it up." "Container's good." "Move on to the next one." "Move it out!" "Get those to the trucks now!" "Move out, next point!" "Go, go, go." " Channel 6." " Chris." "Chris, it's April." "I'm at the docks." "We're in the middle of the evening brief, O'Neil." "Whatever you got can wait for tomorrow." "No, no, I need... 2-3-2, clear!" "That one's loaded." " Get it out of my way." " Copy that." "Damn it." "Unit two, area three, move!" "I've got movement!" "Keep your eyes over here!" "Weapons free!" "Hold position!" "Retreat!" "Retreat!" "Get out of here!" "Taylor." "Taylor!" "Hey." "I'm Skyping with my mom." "You have no idea what I just went through." "I am freaking out." "I saw a Foot Clan attack." "Are you okay?" "I was riding my bike by the docks." "It was night, it's dark already and there are Foot Clan soldiers everywhere." "Then out of nowhere, there was this guy fighting back against them." "And he..." "He left behind this symbol." "And I know that I've seen it before." "I can't remember where." "But there is someone fighting back against the Foot Clan." "There is a vigilante in this city." "And no one knows, but I do." "I know." "And now I have my story." "There is no more froth and foam for me." "What?" "Never mind." "All right, we need a lead for tonight." "Who's got it?" ""Major redevelopments proposed" " "for lower Manhattan."" " No." "I got something." ""NYPD task force taking credit" ""for small decline in Foot-related crime."" " I like that." "Let's run with that." " Yes, ma'am." "7:00 AM broadcast, we have three minutes to air." "Oh, O'Neil." "I'll talk to you in a minute." "I know that I'm actually overstepping my boundaries by being here, but I think that you're gonna want to hear what I have to say." "I actually think that you're all gonna want to hear what I have to say." "Um, I witnessed an attempted Foot Clan robbery at the docks in Brooklyn last night." "Hold on, the scanner said that gunshots were heard, but there were no reports of any Foot Clan activity." "That's because whatever they were attempting to do was stopped." "What were you doing in Brooklyn anyway?" "Was there a trampoline convention?" "I was in Brooklyn because I was reporting, not sitting behind my desk, McNaughton." "Okay, kids!" "Who stopped it?" "Well, there was this guy." "I didn't see him clearly, but he was swinging these giant shipping containers and knocking these guys into the..." "Into the river." "There is a vigilante that is fighting back against the Foot Clan." "There's a huge story here!" "O'Neil, I think you found Superman." "That's cool." "The vigilante is real." "I saw him." "O'Neil, I'm gonna assume that you would not come up here and tell us this fantastic story without some tangible proof." "I took this photo of one of the shipping containers." "I actually think that it may be his calling card." "This is nothing, O'Neil." "This is nothing!" "That's exactly the point." "Somebody stopped a Foot robbery and left no evidence." "There is nothing." "Oh, I get it." "You wanted me to put "nothing"" " on the nightly news." " Of course not." "You know, I'm gonna pretend we never had this conversation." "I'm erasing it from my mind." "And the rest of us, we're gonna go back to work." "Let's hit it!" "Hello, everybody." "Welcome to the Channel 6 Morning News." "New developments in that ongoing sanitation strike to tell you about." "But first, after reviewing the city's soaring crime rates with the police commissioner," "Councilman Dan Gregor took to the steps of City Hall, reaffirming the city's commitment to fight against the rising crime organization calling themselves the Foot Clan." "He did so on the heels of a renewed contract with Eric Sacks and Sacks Industries." "Using the Sacks research and securities technology, this city greatly improves its chances of bringing the Foot Clan to justice!" "Begin!" "Your men are weak." "It's no surprise your missions fail." "We couldn't have anticipated the vigilante showing up at the docks, Master Shredder." "You have been trained for such contingencies." "But we've never seen an enemy like this." "Their size." "Their strength." "They're not human." "I don't believe in fairy tales." "It's what society wants to reduce the Foot Clan to." "A myth." "But the Foot Clan will rise again." "Capture the vigilantes however you can." "Use innocent people as bait." "No one will stop us in our quest to reclaim victory." "We will own this city." "Ladies and gentlemen, please join me in welcoming the NYPD's top benefactor," "Eric Sacks." "Please, please." "Please." "Sit down, sit down." "I have to say, it's wonderful to see so many people out here tonight, especially in a neighborhood so hard hit by the Foot's crime wave." "Years ago, my life was touched by tragedy." "I was a young scientist working with a world-class team on cutting-edge research." "And our laboratory was attacked, set fire to, robbed, by the cowards that call themselves the Foot Clan." "Several of my employees lost their lives that day." "And it is in their honor, in their memory, that Sacks Industries, whether through Sacks Biomed," "Sacks Robotics or Sacks Construction, will remain committed to keeping the city of New York, our city, safe." "So whenever someone takes flame to this city," "I will be there to put the fire out." "And that's a promise." "Thank you." "Thank you." "Thank you." "Great work, sir." "Very inspirational." "Mr. Sacks." "April O'Neil." "You worked with my father." "Oh!" "I can't believe it." "I haven't seen you since..." "Since his funeral." "It was a long time ago." "Yeah." "I just wanted to tell you that your words really resonated with me, and I hope to one day contribute to the city in the way that you do." "Well, it looks like you're doing a pretty good job." "Channel 6, very impressive, April." "Um..." "Thank you." "It's, uh... it isn't exactly everything I anticipated it would be." "As long as you are true to yourself, your father will always be proud of you." "Mr. Sacks, we have to be uptown at 7:00." "I'll see you on TV." "Eric Sacks was so inspiring." "I know this is a story that actually matters." "The superhero one?" "That's a good idea." "I should chase that down." "Where's everybody going?" " O'Neil!" "Where are you going?" " Hey." " April!" " Hey!" "What are you running from?" "Wait, wait!" "Shots fired, Broadway and Centre Street." "Surveillance uplinks are showing heavy, heavy Foot Clan activity at the Broad Street platform." "They're taking hostages, dude." "But you know we're not supposed to go above ground." "We've done this before." "We started something, we gotta finish it." "This is insane." "That cat is playing Chopsticks with chopsticks!" "Don't be an idiot." " Aw." " Okay." "Let's rock 'n' roll, boys!" "Run!" "Get out!" "Go, go!" "If you want to live, do it!" "Go on!" "Just stay down!" "Get over here!" "Keep moving!" "Keep your hands where I can see them!" "Move to the side." " They're bombs." " Shut up!" "On the ground!" "Nobody move!" "We know you're out there!" "If you don't surrender, we start executing hostages!" "Get your head down!" "Don't move!" "Don't make me tell you again!" "Not a word!" "Don't look at me!" "Don't!" "Don't do it!" "You!" "Stand up!" "All aboard!" "On your 12!" "Come on!" "That's right." "Like a shadow, bra." "How you like that?" "Let's go!" "Let's move!" "They went up that way!" "Did you see that?" "Here, here." "They climbed up here!" " Right here." " Some kind of freak!" "There were a couple of them!" "Whoo!" "Right past me!" "They saved us." "Go, go, go!" "Let's go, guys!" "Both sides!" "You see that?" "I smoked that dude!" "S'up?" "Yeah, boys, bring it in." "That was amazing." "You were incredible!" "Great elbow, Donnie." "Oh, yeah!" "That's what I'm talking about." "This is our city!" "These are our streets!" "You mess with us, you step into the Wu, whoo, Tang!" "Ooh, yeah!" "Did you see that guy's jaw connect with the concrete?" "He'll be drinking out of a sippy cup for months!" "Ah, that's what I'm talking about, brothers." "Like shadows in the night." "Completely unseen." "What was that?" "It's a camera flash." "We know it's a camera flash." "Who's behind the camera flash?" "By my calculations, it's a girl." "Now we got to kill her..." " What?" " With kindness!" "Give her some flowers, earn her trust." " I got this." " Raph, no, no, no!" "Come on!" "Give me the camera." "Ooh, look, he's doing his Batman voice." "She's so hot, I can feel my shell tightening." "We can hear you!" "If you don't give me the camera, I'm gonna..." "Enough!" "Back off, Raph." "I only saw Batman once!" "Ma'am, hello." "I apologize." "My colleague here forgot to say "please."" "So, would you please hand over the camera?" "No, no, no, no." "Whoa." "Whoa." "Chill." "It's just a mask." "See?" "Don't freak out." "Right?" "Ah!" "Oh, I think that went Well." "Breathing steady." "Blood pressure stabilizing." "Why are we still here playing doctor?" "She may have a head injury." "Uh, correction." "She's a hot chick who may have a head injury, which makes it our civic duty to..." "Ma'am, ma'am." "Can you hear me?" "Do you know what city you're in?" "Do you know where you are?" "Have you seen that video where the cat plays Chopsticks with the chopsticks?" "Can we focus here?" "Guys, please!" "Come on." "Give her some air." "What are you?" "Well, Miss, uh, we're ninjas." "We're mutants." "Well, technically, we're turtles." "Oh, and we're teenagers!" "But we can still have adult conversations." "Wait, wait, wait." "So..." "You're..." "Ninja, mutant, turtle, teenagers?" "Well, when you put it like that, it sounds ridiculous!" "See, she's looking at us like we're freaks." "I bet that's why you took our picture, wasn't it?" "To show your friends?" "Bro, that's a good thing!" "Maybe she has hot friends." " Looking for this?" " Don't break it." "No, no, no." "Please." "How many times do I have to tell you?" "We don't break things, we fix them." "Donnie already wiped the phone, genius." "Problem solved, moving on." " And who put you in charge?" " You know who did." "Ooh, tension!" "It's been like 30 whole minutes since you guys had this argument." "Leonardo, if we want to make it home before Master, we gotta hustle." "Leonardo?" "Do not say a word about this to anyone." "If you do, we will find you." "April O'Neil." "We're on the move, Raphael." "Raphael?" "Yeah!" "We'll find you, O'Neil." "I'm sorry, that came across super creepy, okay?" "We will find you, though." "I was on fire, bro!" "Did you see me back there?" "Guys, I totally talked to a girl!" "Shut up, Mikey!" "Yeah, bra!" "Mikey, was that you?" "Pepperoni." "Leonardo." "I know those names." "I know those names." "Raphael, Raphael." "Leonardo." "Good evening." "This is April O'Neil, reporting live from my daddy's lab." "I know it sounds pretty boring, but actually, he does some pretty cool stuff." "Time to put the camera away, April." "Aw, Dad!" "And now I will show you something amazing." "It's supposed to be from a different planet" " in outer space!" " Here we go." "Ah!" "Mr. Sacks, what sort of experiments are you doing here?" "Oh, that's a very complicated question." "We're trying to change the world." "Look at the camera!" "Hello, Splinter." "And these are my little turtles, Leonardo," "Raphael," "Michelangelo and Donatello." "The fans want to see you!" "I knew it." "The vigilante, I saw him." "I saw them!" "I saw them." "I've known them since I was a little girl." "They were my pets." "They were my childhood pets, and they were named after Italian Renaissance painters." "Mom, I want to move back home." "Is he here?" "I don't see him." "Donnie?" "My thermal scans indicate there's a 74% variable that there's a 61% chance he's not..." "That he's not here, guys." " That he's not here." " Okay." "Fall in, quietly." "Dude." "So, guys, if it wasn't already obvious with that girl, dibs." "If Master Splinter catches us, he'll send us back to the Ha'shi." "I ain't going back to the Ha'shi." "Every time we're in the Ha'shi, it's because of you." "Well, bro, you won't have to worry about me dragging you down anymore." "What's that supposed to mean?" "I'm going out on my own." "First chance I get." "How are we gonna finish our hip-hop Christmas album, bro?" "You're the hype man!" "Shut up." "Shut up." "I got glop in my eye" "Shh!" "He's not going anywhere." "We all stick together." "Sorry I spit in your eye, bro." " Shh!" " Guys?" "Guys." "We got a bogey." "Uh..." "Where have you been?" "We weren't..." "I forgot to soak my retainer!" "I'm totally sleepwalking!" "Look, Mikey's sleeping and walking." "He's totally innocent." "Enough!" "You disobeyed a direct order." "Why did you go above ground?" "What happened?" "Very Well." "If that's how it's going to be, to the Ha'shi!" "O'Neil!" "All right, what was so important I had to get here?" " Okay." "Are you ready?" " Yeah." "Okay." "You know how" " I saw the vigilante?" " Yeah." "But I had no photos or evidence to show you, so I just sounded crazy." " Yes." " Okay." "But I saw him again." "Well, I didn't see him again, I saw them, because there's four." "There's not just one, there's four." "And I was standing as close to them as you are to me right now." "What'd they look like?" "I'll show you." "What?" "Like this." "Like turtles?" "Well, they don't look like turtles because they are turtles." "They're over six feet tall and they speak English." "Oh, my God." "I was awake all night, please look, I was awake all night googling all of the thwarted crimes over the past three months, and this symbol appeared at every single one." "Look!" "Every single one of them." "This one, look." "Here, here, here, here, here." "And it's an ancient Japanese symbol that means "family."" "Wait, it's on my laptop." "I can't believe you brought me in to do this!" "It's here, it's here." "This is my father's lab." "This is the same lab where these things were born or created or mutated." "Or, I don't know the terminology, but will you please just look at what" "I'm showing you and listen to me." "It's all connected." "The turtles are the vigilantes and the vigilantes are these turtles." "Pizza has cheese, tomato sauce, all your favorite stuff." "Eat it." "You guys need nutrition." "Or not." "I just want to be clear." "You are now telling me that there are four six-foot talking turtles walking around New York City, and no one has seen them but you?" "That's what I'm telling you." "I don't mean to laugh, but is there anything else we should know about them?" "They're ninjas." "I'm sorry, what?" "And they do karate." "Okay, get out." "O'Neil!" "It could have been worse." "I just got fired, Vern." "How could it be worse?" "Maybe it's good." "Maybe you should take a little time, take care of yourself." "Come on, let me give you a ride." "Not unless you're going to the Eric Sacks estate." " April..." "Hey!" " I'm not giving up on this story." "You gotta put that to bed." "Would all of those other great reporters that you worked with, would they have "put it to bed"?" "No." "That's different." "How is it different?" "They all started exactly where I am, right?" "I'm not driving the Channel 6 news van onto the Sacks estate." " Who asked you to do that?" " Uh, you did." "And a "thanks" would have been nice." "Maybe one day you're gonna be thanking me." "So, what do you want with Eric Sacks?" "My dad used to work for him." "He's the only person that's gonna be able to tell me whether or not I'm crazy." "Crazy about what?" "I don't need you to laugh at me also." "Oh, come on, O'Neil." "This is the Fenwick Express, it's a judgment-free zone." "A cocoon of safety." "Promise?" "I'm insulted that you would suggest otherwise." "Ooh, 11 hours in the Ha'shi." "Are you sure none of you want to tell me where you were last night?" "How you holding up, fellas?" "Ah!" "I ain't breaking if Donnie ain't breaking." "Experiencing intense nausea but not breaking." "Guys?" "I'm in the zone!" "There is literally nothing that could break me right now!" "Starting to break." "Of course, you've all tasted the five-cheese pizza." "But this, cheesemongers have speculated of its existence for centuries." "Da Vinci's original masterpiece." "I submit to you the 99-cheese pizza." "Oh!" "It's not possible." "Mikey, it's a trap!" "A pizza with that variety of cheese is a culinary impossibility!" " Shall I list the ingredients?" " No." "Cheddar..." " Provolone..." " Mikey, don't you do it!" "Asiago..." "Keep it together!" "Taleggio..." "I don't even know what that is." "Mozzarella, of course." "All right, all right, all right!" "We left the lair because the Foot were taking hostages and we kicked some serious butt, and there was this girl named April O'Neil who took our picture, but we took care of it." "Idiot." "Oh, no, my worst fears have been realized." "Don't worry about it." "Donnie erased the picture!" "We're not in danger." "No." "It's April O'Neil who is in danger!" "Find the girl." "Bring her here." "But, sensei, you said to not go..." "Find the girl!" "Find the girl." "That's what I told Thompson and she fired me." "So they're aliens?" "No, that's stupid." "They're reptiles." "They help people, I guess." "Heroes in the half-shell." " Okay." " Come on." "It's not that crazy." "I..." "The animal kingdom is full of..." "I used to have a dog that could moonwalk." " Thanks for the ride, Vern." " Yeah." "No problem." "Nothing better than dropping off a pretty girl at a rich guy's house." "Hi, it's April O'Neil, here to see Eric Sacks." "April's arrived early this year." "I'm sorry to barge in on you like this, Mr. Sacks." "No, no, no." "Please, please." "Thank you." "I've been working on a story." "And I have this theory that there are these vigilantes that are fighting back against the Foot." "I think you and my father may have created them." "Uh, I'm not sure I..." "Can you please tell me everything that you know about Project Renaissance?" "Hmm." "Well, um, it was a dream." "A dream that died with your father." "What if it isn't dead?" "That's impossible." "We lost all our research in the fire, all our specimens, everything." "I've spent the last 15 years trying to replicate the results." "You didn't lose everything in the fire." " This can't be real." " it is real." "I saw all four of them." "Do you really want to know about Project Renaissance?" " Yes." " Come with me." "I was born in Japan, at a military base in Okinawa." "My father went to Vietnam." "Didn't come back." "I was an outsider in a foreign land." "A freak." "I was a powerless and helpless boy." "Until a local sensei took me under his wing." "And he saved me." "Taught me lessons that I later shared with your father." "Ninth-century Japan." "An evil warlord ruled the land." "He poisoned the water supply, bringing on the dark ages." "Death and disease and suffering ran rampant." "Not unlike the Foot Clan and what they'd like to do to our city." "Then one day, a hero arose." "A great alchemist discovered the antidote to the warlord's poison." "The cure-all for his evil." "Your father and I were trying to recreate that cure-all." "We developed a mutagen capable of stimulating self-repair on a cellular level." "What were you going to do with it?" "Imagine New York City, being victim to a chemical attack." "This mutagen would be able to reverse its effects." "It would save the city, it would save the people." "Those test subjects, those turtles..." "Running in their blood is the last of this precious mutagen." "And up until a few moments ago," "I thought we failed." "I thought they died in the fire." "How..." "How could they have lived?" "Because I saved them." "Of course you did." "April, the mutagen possesses powers beyond our wildest hopes." "Whatever resources you need," "I'm here." "Let's work together." "We'll find them." "The course of human history may depend on it." "I'll show you out." "Barn!" "You've been hacked!" "By Donatello." "Remember me?" "Turtle." "Four eyes." "But enough about me." "We told you we'd find you." "Meet us here." "And come alone." "Or..." "Or else we're..." "You shall be punished and stuff." "Hello?" "You told me to come here." "I didn't bring anyone with me." "I did exactly..." "Okay!" "Are you April O'Neil?" "Initiating retinal scan." "Scanning, scanning, scanning, scanning." "Scan complete." "It's her." "It's her." "Guys, it's her!" "Of course it's her, Donnie." "Hey." "Really glad you could make it." "Hey." "There's someone important we want to introduce you to, but first..." "Aw, yeah, welcome to my crib, girl." "Where are we?" "Hey, it's our Fortress of Solitude." "Our Hogwarts." "Our Xavier Academy." "Our next generation, state-of-the-art WonderDome!" "Ugh." "Are we in the sewer?" "No." " Technically, yes." " Yeah." "Yeah, it's a sewer." "You brought us here, April." "Splinter?" "How does she know his name?" "Did you tell her his name?" " Maybe she's clairvoyant." " Maybe she's a Jedi!" "Come closer." "It's been a long time." "Mmm." "You always did have your father's eyes." "I don't understand." "Don't be afraid." "All will be made clear." "This is crazy." "Why are you here?" "Student." "There's been a miracle." "The vigilantes who've been causing us so much trouble?" "They're the test subjects." "Those itty-bitty box turtles that we thought we lost in the fire?" "They're alive, Master Shredder." "And they've grown into something powerful." "It won't be easy to capture them, but if we can, we can finally carry out the plan that we had all those years ago." "My Foot Clan will have unlimited power." "And you will have your money." "The city will be ours." "Find them." "O'Neil's daughter was the one who found them and she will be the one who will take us right to them." "There's the ping." "We've breached the cloaking security." "Listen closely, April." "I don't remember a time before living in that laboratory." "That fateful night started like any other." "Sacks gave us our injections." "Your father made sure our vital signs were strong." "And you, as always, provided us with a special treat." "After the brothers went to sleep," "I heard loud voices." "There was the smell of smoke." "Alarms sounded." "Your father had discovered the truth behind the man he was working for." "He set fire to the lab." "His last breath was taken trying to destroy Shredder's plan." "I was terrified." "But then, you appeared." "And ushered us to safety." "I never had a voice then, but I thank you now, April." "Mmm." "We wandered the sewers until I found this place." "It was then that the mutagen that was injected into our blood began to change us in miraculous ways." "I saw how your father loved you and I knew I had to show that same love to the turtles." "I became their father and they became my sons." "Like all children, they were drawn to the distractions of popular culture." "And I knew one day they would want to explore the world above." "They would be ridiculed." "They would need to learn to protect themselves, both mentally and physically." "Hey." "Does anyone want to play Buck-Buck?" "Buck one!" "Buck two!" "Buck three!" "Where you going, Raph?" "Come on." "I can't do it by myself." "I need all four!" "You're a Buck short." "Yeah, that sounds stupid." "Like you, Mikey!" "That's why you're just the hype man, bra." " See these moves?" " Yeah, whatever, man." "And then I found a way." "First, I would teach myself the ancient art of Ninjutsu." "Oh!" "The brothers followed my lead, accelerating at a wondrous rate!" "Wassup, bra?" "Want some of this?" "I'm like a ghost!" "I'm over here, now I'm over here, bra." "Like a shadow!" "I'm a flame shadow fire dragon!" "Ow!" "Their gift was also their passion." "They lived, breathed and dreamed all things martial arts." "Then, they were ready." "The katana, most noble of all the blades." "It is the weapon of a leader." "Everything they are, and everything that they've become was made possible by the bravery that you displayed on that fateful night." "Dude." "I was just a little girl." "And you gave us freedom where others would have kept us in cages." "Wait a minute, Dad." "All these years you told us we were rescued from the fire by a great guardian spirit, the Hogo-sha." "That's right." "And this is the Hogo-sha." "What?" "My girlfriend's totally the Hogo-sha." "Ow." "Fortunately, our engineers have been making great progress in refining the robotics in your armor." "We're taking it to the next level, bridging the gap between ancient tradition" "and modern warfare." "Tonight, I dine on turtle soup." "Why did you bring me here?" "To find out who you told of our existence." "Nobody that believed me, except for Eric Sacks." "Sacks." "Just as I feared." "Sacks is not a friend." "His soul has been poisoned by the influence of a dark master." "The Shredder." "Shredder practically raised Sacks in Japan." "He's like a father to him." "Sacks will do anything for his master." "Wait, wait." "Sacks and Shredder?" "So, why aren't we out there hunting them down?" "Because, Raphael," "The Shredder is a skilled warrior whose cruelty is ever-reaching!" "And you are just teenagers." "The mutagen in your blood is of great value to them." "Now that Sacks has confirmation that you are alive," "I fear they will bring the fight to us." "Oh, no." "Stand by to make entry." "Let's move!" "Go, go, go!" "Perimeter infringe." "Breached!" "We have incoming!" "Oh, no!" "Oh, no!" "We got two breaches." "Fan room, weapons wall!" "Mikey, flank right!" "Donnie, on me!" "We gotta go!" "Go, go!" "Stand by to set charge." "Lock and load." "We're going on 10." "No live ammo." "Tranqs only." "Take 'em alive!" "No!" "Get back!" "Donnie!" "Engage!" "Get him!" "There they are!" "Neutralize them!" "They've got tranq darts!" "Well, don't let them hit your skin." "Let's go!" "Let's move!" "Over there!" "Tango at 12!" "Wassup, bra?" "Oh, you think you can handle this, huh?" "I'm a snapping turtle, fool." "Snap, snap, snap!" "I meant to do that!" "I meant to do it!" "We got a breach in the fan room!" "Raph!" "Get to the fan room!" "Why are you always telling me what to do?" "Just go!" "Mikey, you gotta get April out of here, now!" "I got this!" "April, come with me." "I got a safe place for you to hide." "And if you get thirsty," "I got a secret stash of Orange Crush behind the fridge." "Don't tell Raph." "Shredder." "All these years" "I've been trying to recreate the mutagen." "And you?" "You just handed it to me." "You will not lay a hand on my sons." "Your sons?" "You think you're their father?" "Very good, rat!" "Sensei!" "Donnie!" "Hang on, Leo!" "Be right there!" "You stupid little girl!" "April!" "Sensei!" "No, my son, stay back!" "Sensei!" "Sensei!" "Dam!" "Dad!" "What are you..." "What are you doing?" "Hide!" "No!" "Save yourselves!" "Children, drop your weapons, or your father will die." "No!" "Where's the fourth?" "He's dead." "Destroy this place." "Keep moving!" "Stay strong." "Remember, pain's only in the mind." "Move along!" "Go!" "Troop, go!" "Move!" "Move!" "Splinter." "Sensei." "Master." "Let's get him to the needle room." "Package is secured." "En route." "We're carrying three specimens and will be arriving at the estate in approximately 40 minutes." "Prepare the containment units." "Inside those turtles is the most precious compound on Earth," "mutagen." "And we will drain every last ounce of their blood to get it, even if it kills them." "Get the first aid kit!" "On the shelf!" "Hurry." "Hurry." "Raphael?" "I'm here." "You must save your brothers." "Stop Shredder." "Sensei." "It's some kind of tracker." "It's Donatello!" "Go, Raphael." "Let's go save my brothers." "We need a ride." "O'Neil!" "Look, Vern, I need you to meet me at Cortlandt Alley in 10 minutes, please." "Wait, why?" "I can't talk to you about it on the phone." "Just promise you're gonna be there." "What do you mean, you can't talk about..." "You called me." "All right." "Want me to meet you right now?" "I'll play your little game." "What's with the hat?" "What is with the..." "I don't know, it's a buddy of mine's." "It's just a goof." "What do you want to do?" "You wanna head downtown?" "Eric Sacks is working with the head of the Foot Clan." "They just kidnapped the vigilante turtles to take them to the Sacks estate." "We need to go." "Come on, Vern." "Right, right, right." "The turtles." "I forgot." "This is getting embarrassing." "O'Neil, we're both consenting adults." "We're both very good-looking." "You're better, probably." "That's up for debate." "But the point is, we don't need to make up excuses" " to hang out with each other." " What?" "You want to spend more time with me." "I get it." "I would too." "We need to get to the Sacks estate right now, Vern." "Come on!" "That's what I'm talking about, O'Neil." ""The Sacks estate with the vigilante..."" " What..." " Drive!" "You're a talking turtle." "Yeah." "Yeah, I'm a talking turtle and you're a human nerd." "Now that we got that out of the way, hit it." "I've never been accused of being a nerd before, but..." "I'm sorry..." "How did you get in..." "How did he get in the..." "Oh, my" "Wow." "Unbelievable." "Let me look at you." "I'm a hard guy to impress, but..." "This is just..." "Oh, my God." "Wow!" "And we were gonna use rabbits!" "Can you imagine that?" "All we were trying to do is create an antidote." "For what?" "Say that again." "I want to hear your voice." "For what?" "Wow." "Well, uh, we had this plan." "A plan that we're ready to put back online today." "I'll show you." "Karai, um..." "Show them." "What?" "Do you know my building, Sacks Tower?" "Got that great big spire up on top?" "That spire is filled with tons of chemical toxins." "No!" "No!" "Bad stuff." "That kinda bad." "In a few hours, Shredder is going to unleash all that stuff over the whole city." "The initial death toll will shake world governments to their core." "In 30 days, the city of New York will be a quarantine zone." "And that is where my company comes in." "I'm going to save everyone with the antidote that is made from the mutagen that is oozing through your blood." "The government will then send Sacks Industry a blank check and I'm going to be rich." "Like, stupid rich." "Shredder will force this city to live under our rule." "We will be gods." "Yeah, I've thought about..." "I've thought about doing, not becoming a ninja, but I was doing a bunch of yoga for like, 10 days at one point, and, uh, I pulled a hamstring." " There's the gate right there." " There it is." "Ram the gate." ""Ram the gate"?" "This is Channel 6 property." "I said ram the gate!" "All right, everybody, strap in!" "Oh, Shit!" "Go, go, go, go!" "Follow me!" "I'll take this canister to New York to withdraw the mutagen." "Make sure that you drain all their blood." "Time to take a bite out of the Big Apple." "Hey!" "Get out of here!" "Leo!" "About time." "What the..." "Raphael." "Glad you could join us." "The fourth cage is for you." "That's harsh, man." "The rat did not teach you well!" "Raphael!" "You." "Focus on me." "Three..." "Four total turtles." "One's fighting a robot samurai." "Why not?" "Donnie!" "Donnie!" "What do I do?" " Adrenaline." " What?" "Adrenaline." "Adrenaline." "All right." "All right." "Adrenaline." "He's going to kill him." "Get up!" "It's working." "I think we should move." "Oh!" "I feel really good right now!" "I feel like running!" "I feel like cleaning!" "Who wants to clean the dojo?" "I'll clean the dojo!" "Endorphins!" "Endorphins!" "We got to get Raph!" "Raph!" "Raph!" "Are you okay?" "Are you dead?" "Are you okay?" "Come on." "Come on." "We really gotta go!" " Go where?" " Sacks Tower!" "New York City!" "Times Square!" "Shredder's going to release a toxin!" "It's gonna poison the whole city!" "And Sacks is gonna sell the antidote!" "Made from the mutagen" " That's in our blood!" " So we've got to get going now!" "Good." "Let's do it for sensei." "Okay." "We're going!" "Everybody calm down!" "Look how calm I am!" "We got to move." "Let's go!" "Sacks is airborne!" "Flight time to Manhattan, 19 minutes!" "Get us out of here, Donnie!" "Oh, my gosh, they have guns!" "Get down!" "Ha!" "Are you guys okay?" "We're bulletproof." "Sweet!" "Advance and engage!" "Can you drive that truck?" "Yeah!" "We're on Raph." "Ready?" "Come on!" "Everybody in the truck!" "We gotta go, go, go!" "Move!" "Vern, you know how to drive this, right?" "Yeah, yeah, yeah." "Just got to hotwire this thing, I guess." "Classic blue wire/red wire situation." " Keys!" " Yeah." "Keys are better." " Drive!" " I'm on it!" "Come on!" "Come on!" "That's all I need is a backseat-driving talking turtle!" " Let's go!" " Move!" "Jackal-One-Tango, on your 12!" "Copy that." "I shouldn't have doubted you." "Sorry I didn't stick up for you." "I can't believe that you're not crazy!" "How crazy is that?" "Target, 12 o'clock!" "Where are we going, guys?" "Donnie, what's the fastest way back to Manhattan?" "We just need to stay on this road." "If we can get to the maintenance hatch at the bottom of the hill, there's a sewer line 2.4 miles from here." "Mikey!" "Let them know up there!" "I'm on it!" "Oh, no." "Vern, go, go, go, go, go!" "I'm on it!" "Stop!" "Vern, hit the brakes!" "Wrong way!" "Wrong way!" "Go around!" "Go, go, go!" "Leo, move, move!" "What?" "Opposite, opposite, opposite!" "Oh, no!" "How far off course are we?" "Actually, we're on a bit of a shortcut." "But we need to keep going down." "Straight down." "Hey!" "Just keep going straight!" "What's up, angel cakes?" "Fire!" "Guys, Leo's in trouble!" "My shell's cracked." "Just tape it up." "Allow me to be the bad-ass for once." "Hang on, Leo." "Disengaging." "God, I've always wanted to try this." "I got you, brother." "One car down, two to go." "Mikey!" "All right, that's it." "I'll take it from here!" "Whoo-hoo!" "Raph, I'm driving!" "Yeah!" "Whoo-hoo!" "O'Neil, what are you doing?" "Yeah, that's good." "Make sure you're getting everything." "Vern!" "Vern!" "O'Neil!" "Give me your arm!" "Vern!" "Avalanche!" "Whoa!" "Come on, Leo, wake up!" "Yeah!" "If you wake up," "I promise to do anything you say!" "Guys!" "Shredder's chopper is 20 miles outside of New York City airspace!" "Thanks for the traffic update, Donnie." "You doing sports and weather next?" "If you're gonna be nasty about it then I guess you don't want to know that there's a 500-foot drop-off in 53 seconds!" "Are you saying there's..." "A cliff!" "We gotta get April out of there!" "Raph, heads up!" "Don't forget that old guy!" "Hi." "Change of plans." "Oh, come on." "Guys, get down!" "Get down!" "Twelve seconds and we're going over!" "Hey, Donnie, do that fancy slingshot thing!" "We got to take Little Miss Sunshine out!" "Batter up!" "Grab on." "Mikey!" "Grab the cable!" "I got it!" "I got it!" "Hold on!" "Hold on!" "On, no!" "No, no, no!" "Oh, no..." "Poor Leo, April..." "And that other guy." "They were so young, so beautiful." "They ain't dead, numb nuts." "Oh." "Right on." "I hope you got a parachute under that shell." "Hey, guys!" "It's the maintenance hatch!" "Our ticket home!" "A little help, please!" "Guys, we gotta hustle." "Shredder's over New York City!" "Sensei, the mutagen is four minutes out." "Moving forward as planned." "Please keep your arms and legs inside the shell at all times." "Satellite imagery shows" "Shredder's reached the top of Sacks Tower." "If that's where he's releasing the toxin from..." "It's gonna spread all over the city!" "We need to break a left!" "All right, listen up." "We gotta find the elevators and get up to the roof." "You guys get out of here." "Get to a safe distance." "No, no, we can go find Sacks and get our hands on the mutagen as a contingency plan, just in case..." "You know." "Thanks for the vote of confidence." "If we don't make it back, bring the mutagen to Splinter." "It can save his life." "Sacks's laboratory's on the 36th floor." "I've already disabled the security system." "Oh, and, uh..." "Good luck!" "If I don't return, remember me, April." "You can always find me in here." "You're a complicated chick." "Yeah." "Elevator's just around this corner!" "All right, guys, listen up." "We stick to my plan and we won't fail." "Fan out in three, two, one." "Whoa." "Not the elevator." "Nope." "The first vial is filling with antidote now." "Initiating the toxin release procedure." "MC Mikey." "MC" "Ready, stance!" "Hey, Mikey, remember that thing you used to say when we were kids?" "You made me promise never to say it again." "Forget about that." "Still got one in the tank?" "I've been holding it in for years." "Guys, we need a plan!" "Cowabunga!" "Leo!" "Yeah, we got a 10-10." "Debris falling from the building." "Come on." "I got this, guys!" "I'll take him!" "Come on!" "Oh, no, you don't!" "Seriously, you two..." "You're adorable, really." "I could just pinch your cheeks!" "Ugh, guys, he's coming, he's coming!" "Guys!" "Donnie!" "Come on, come on!" "Hold on, Leo!" "I understand a girl with dead daddy issues." "I do." "But you're not gonna stop me." "This is history repeating itself." "Your father walked in on me, April, just like you did." "It took a few less bullets to take him down, though." "You killed my father." "Move!" "Move!" "Go, go, go!" "Come on, guys!" "Got you!" "Enough." "The lesson is over." "Ugh!" "We're getting our asses kicked out there." "We only got 50 more seconds before the toxin's released." "Hey" "Who wants to play Buck-Buck?" "Buck-Buck?" " What?" " Buck-Buck." "Tony-on-a-Pony." "Some people call it Johnnie-on-a-Rock." "Wait." "Yeah." "Let's play Buck-Buck." " But why would we..." " No." "We do what Leo says." "Lead the way." "O'Neil!" "Argh!" "Hmm." "Oh!" "Cowabunga." "Are you okay?" "Look, just go get some help and take the mutagen with you." " Just go." "Go!" " No!" "Just another day in the life of a man of action." "Ow." "No, I'm not getting up." "You know how to use this thing?" "It's a simple command-line interface." "No one's used this code in 15 years." "I mean, I've read about it online." "But these kind of things take time." "Thinking there was no way I'd ever be in a position where the fate of an entire city would rest on whether or not I could hack out antiquated code on an antiquated system." "I'll buy you some time." "Toxin disbursement in five, four, three, two..." "Bam!" "System disabled!" "Who wants Italian?" "I'm buying!" "Tiramisu for everybody!" "Ah!" "Ah." "Fall in!" "Hold on!" "Hold it!" "Hold it!" "If the spire falls and the toxin makes ground impact, it'll contaminate a 10-block radius!" "What are the odds of us stopping that from happening?" "Uh, 0.00000000003%!" "I'll take it." "Nobody moves, no matter what." "But, Leo..." "I said nobody moves!" "Leo, I'm letting go!" "Ah!" "Shredder!" "This is all that's left!" "Little girl." "That belongs to me." "Hold on!" "Hold on!" "Hold it!" "Get back!" "All the way back!" "April!" "Come on, guys!" "Ah!" "April!" "Got you, Raph!" "Hold on!" "Hold on!" "April!" "I got you." "Swing me towards him!" "Do it!" "Leo!" "That's my girl." "I think this is it, guys!" "Does anyone have anything they want to say?" "Donnie?" "I'm the one who licks the icing off the Pop-Tarts every morning and puts them back in the box." "No, no, no, no!" "I so did not understand the ending of Lost." "Raph?" "I just, uh..." "If this is our last moment together," "I just want you guys to know I'm sorry." "I'm sorry I was so hard on you." "Every time I pushed you, I..." "I threatened you," "I yelled at you, I pushed you beyond your limits, it was because I believe in you!" "I believe in each one of you!" "I believe in your spirit and your intelligence and your potential." "And every time I talked about walking away, it was because I was scared!" "I just didn't think I was good enough to stand next to you and call you brothers and say to you" "I love you!" "I love you guys so much!" "Raph?" "We made it." "Are you crying?" "No, ding-dong." "It's just a little dusty out here." "Okay, the mutagen is now entering his bloodstream." "Master Splinter?" "Nothing's happening." "Why isn't it working yet?" "Mikey..." " Huh?" " Mikey, come closer." "What did he say?" "What did he say?" "He said, "Please get your knee off my chest."" "Sensei!" "You're alive!" "It worked!" "I'm sorry." "This was all my fault." "You were right." "We weren't ready." "No." "It was I who wasn't ready to let you go." "All you needed was to discover that your true power lies in believing in one another." "There she is." "New York's secret weapon." "How's your arm, Vern?" "Well, it wouldn't be much use in a fight." "Not that I was much use before, but..." " Did you get a new car?" " Yeah." "You're looking at the new Fenwick Express." "Pretty sweet, huh?" "Kind of an upgrade." "I figured I'd need new wheels after my old work vehicle went boom." "Yeah, Channel 6 gave it to me." "They said don't put a scratch on it, but, like, lightning's going to strike twice?" "So, is that why you called me here, to talk about your new car?" "I know that you're not exactly a fancy restaurant kind of girl, so I figured a creepy underpass in an abandoned neighborhood in the middle of the night was more your speed." "I wanted you to be comfortable." "DJ Mikey in the house!" "What are you guys doing here?" "We figured we owed you a thanks for keeping our secret." "You had a lot to gain from telling people about us, but you had our backs." "Yeah, 'cause that's what family's for, Raph." "So you guys are driving now?" "Yeah, man." "I pimped this bad boy out." "Got a 42-inch plasma with the NBA package, shave ice machine, 7.1 digital surround sound." "Check the bass, bra." "Uh-oh." "Ooh." "My bad." "I'm still figuring out the buttons." "That was my new Fenwick Express!" "I just..." "I just got that." "We better get out of here." "Want a ride home?" "You know what?" "I think we're gonna take the subway." "We're going to take the subway." "You sure?" "I got a real nice song that's all cued up." " It's special, girl." " No, don't." " For us." " Come on, Mikey." "No, no, no, Mikey, you promised." "It's happening." "Imagine me and you I do" "I think about you day and night It's only right" "To think about..." "I'm making really good headway!" "Shut up, Mikey!" "I can't see me loving nobody but you" "For all my life" "When you're with me, baby" "The skies'll be blue For all my life!"
