Named after the great Renaissance masters and trained as ninjas. They battled many creatures and foes before defeating their archenemy... the Shredder. But now a greater evil is poised to destroy their very brotherhood, an evil born 3,000 years ago. It was in that time that a warrior king named Yaotl led a brotherhood that fought side by side with one purpose... ..to conquer all the kingdoms of the world. Nothing could stand in their way as they left a trail of destruction behind them. (MAN SHOUTS) (SHOUTING) In his quest, the warrior learned of a constellation known as the Stars of Keekan. Every 3,000 years, the stars would align, opening a portal to a world of unknown power. (SWORD SCRAPES, RUMBLING) He became immortal, but at a price. (Yells loudly) His brotherhood was turned to stone. And upon the portal's opening, 13 monsters were released into our world. (MONSTER ROARS) (FLAMES CRACKLE) (MONSTER GROWLS) The warrior king was left to eternally walk the earth, unable to die or forget his horrible mistake. (WIND WHOOSHING) And the monsters that were unleashed continue to plague mankind to this very day. (MEN SING SONG) (MAN WHISTLES) WOMAN: Monsters! (Soldier chuckles evilly) No! We appreciate the generous donation for the continued protection of your village. (Chuckles) After all, the jungle can be a very dangerous place. (Laughs evilly) Mama! Vamonos. (Men laugh) (Chuckles) DRIVER: Whoa! (TYRES SCREECH) Idiota! Watch where you're going! There's a log on the road, senor. Well, if you're not too busy...remove it! Cortez, andale! (Gasps) Dios mio. Ay! (GUNFIRE) Get back here! CORTEZ: You're on your own, jefe! Show yourself! Do you realise who you're dealing with? (Exhales) (Gasps) (Sighs) Oh, what is... Aargh! I am not afraid of a myth. I'm not afraid of a ghost! What are you? Aargh! (BIRDS SQUAWK, MAN YELLS) It's a miracle! WOMAN: Oh, my God! BOY: The ghost of the jungle! There. That's where I saw him. Thank you. You'd better get home now. Do you know the ghost? He wasn't always a ghost. Hello? (WHOOSHING SOUNDS) Is anyone here? Hello? Aargh! It's a long way from the city to just drop in. Leo. (Chuckles) You came all the way down here to look for me? Actually, I was already here on business. But then the local legend started sounding familiar, so I decided to snoop around. What kind of business? Ancient artefacts. Some tycoon with too much time on his hands has his heart set on a collection of 3,000-year-old statues. Well, you always did run with a strange crowd, April. Yeah, well, our strange crowd hasn't been the same without you. Things aren't looking so good back home. How bad could it be? Donnie's probably got everything under control. Sir? Sir? Did you turn the computer on? Have you plugged it in? Yeah. That would help. No, I'm not playing hard to get. I'm telling you, sir, it's not that kind of phone line! I'm not your enemy, I'm just Donnie, your friendly I.T. tech support here to help you 24 hours a day, sir. Yeah, I'm sorry... Ma'am. (Whimpers) But Donnie's a genius. Why would he take a job like that? At least he's keeping busy. Well, if he's doing that, who's keeping an eye on Mikey? APRIL: Mike's gotten into the, um...entertainment business. Yeah! Happy birthday from Cowabunga Carl! (All shout) Don't hit me! Oh, no! Oh, take it easy, little dudes! I bruise easily! Hey, black and blue clashes with green, dudes. Hey! He's a big hit. Alright, let's hear it. What's Raph doing? No-one really knows. He just sleeps all day. Well, what's he do all night? POLICE RADIO: 2802, 2802. Burglary in progress at 55th and Broadway. Suspects considered armed and dangerous. RAPHAEL: Time to punch in. (ENGINE REVS) (TYRES SQUEAL) (EXPLOSION) Good work, boys. That was easier than I thought it was gonna be. Hey, look, guys. I grabbed a toaster! I love your work ethic, Tommy. It's an inspiration to us all. (Both yell) The Night Watcher. POLICEMAN: He's doing our job for us again. Keep your hands to yourself. Hey, who's tickling me? Your training period ended a year ago, and Splinter says you don't write anymore. Splinter sent me down here to become a better leader. I can't go back a failure. Besides, these people need me more than my brothers do. If Master Splinter were here, he would ask you, what is your heart telling you? I don't know. I just know something's missing. Your brothers need you, Leo. They're lost without you. Leo! (ANIMALS SQUAWK) (ROCK MUSIC) (MANHOLE COVER SCRAPES) Ha! Why skate a halfpipe when you can skate a sewer pipe? # Did you ever get the feeling you were born to lose # Smacked in the face with a silver spoon # Skinny doll, gimme your magazine... # Whoa! Sewer's up! Ha-ha! # You look pretty good, but you're not so bright... # Whoo! # Get on your feet, boys # Rip it up, rip it up... # Yeah! Hoo! Ho-ho! Cowabunga! Ha-ha! # Rip it up, rip it up, rip it up... # Whoa! # Rip it up, rip it up... # Yeah! # Rip it up... # Ooh! (Vibrating) Dude... Going down. (Laughs) Yeah! Heeeere's... ..Mikey. Guys? Anyone? Hello? Whatever. This place used to be fun. And with rocketing interest rates, that's bad news for homeowners as the real estate market... (Yawns) ..continues its downward spiral. Coming up, the vigilante known as Night Watcher strikes again. MAN: Oh, now, I can't say for sure, but he was definitely an alien. WOMAN: I think it's a disgrace, taking the law into your own hands like that. Leave it to the police! I remember how that used to feel - busting up crime syndicates. Sure they had a bunch of guns, but they weren't like these guns. (Grunts) Why do you do this to yourself, Mikey? Those glory days are over. Forget about them. Get on with your life. Concentrate on your work. Yeah, yeah, spoken like a true has-been. Well, look who woke up. I suppose you think the Night Watcher's some kind of hero. Beats sitting around doing nothing while dirtbags run free. I would love to know what it is that you do that's so great. At least we're contributing around here. All you do is sleep all day. Yeah, I do nothing. You're right. You got me all figured out. Well, I know that your rogue attitude has always been a source of contention to this team. You think fear is the best way to accomplish things, but you're wrong. First of all, this team you speak of doesn't exist anymore. And second of all... (Grunts) Raphael. Enough. I think I made my point. That doesn't prove anything. Why couldn't you send him away for training? Donatello, this home has become like an empty shell. Each of your brothers has strengths and weaknesses. You must learn to be strong when they are weak. If you don't learn to recognise this, then all hope is lost for our family. (Breathes deeply) (ENGINE RUMBLING) (Men shout) APRIL: Hey, careful! Those aren't souvenirs. MAN: Sorry about that, ma'am. Where are you, Casey? (RINGING AT OTHER END) Come on, come on, pick up. Don't do this to me again, not now. MACHINE: Casey can't come to the phone right now, 'cause...we're hardly working. (MUSIC PLAYS) (Man grunts) This better be good. APRIL: Casey, I'm standing on the dock with a priceless statue and no delivery truck. So my question is - where are you?! April! Hey, babe. I am so sorry. I set the alarm clock, but... but... (CLOCK BEEPS) It's broken. The clock... It's bad enough that you're out every night playing vigilante, but we've got a deadline to meet. I'm sorry. Wait, babe, real quick. You left a message saying you found Leo. I mean, is he there with you? No. I found him. He's not coming back. But... But didn't you tell him how weird things have gotten with the turtles? Look, Casey, we're gonna lose the biggest client we have if you don't get down here. Alright. I'm on my way. Please tell me we're getting paid by the pound here. Is this place a museum or what? You're telling me you've never heard of Winters Corp? Yeah. That's what I'm telling you. They're into everything - real estate, technology, pharmaceuticals. Hair gel... I don't wear hair gel. Really? I'm the caveman type. Au naturel. Just make sure you don't touch anything in here. Hey, I was born careful. (VASE SMASHES) Hope that wasn't expensive. (ALARM BLARING) Oh, wait... I'm sor... Oh, boy. Please tell me that wasn't you. APRIL: Mr. Winters. Miss O'Neil. All the pieces are coming together. Oh, my. Uh, this is my associate, Casey. Nice to meet you, Kenny. Boyfriend. It's Casey. So, you were successful. Yes, the fourth general. I want to ask you before I go, if I could take one last look? (WOOD CREAKING) APRIL: I believe this is the one they call General A-kee-la. WINTERS: It's actually Aquila. But that was a good try. These statues may appear to be only stone, but they're like family to me. I didn't choose them. Friends you can choose, but never your family. OK, then... CASEY: Whoa, whoa, whoa... Take care, Mr. Winters. If you've come to kill me, could you make it fast? I've got a shareholders meeting at 10:00, I'd rather miss it. If we had come here to hurt you, you'd be hurting already. The foot clan and I have come to hear your offer. Well, it appears that today is my lucky day. I must warn you, we do not come cheap. Does it look like money is of any concern to me? Only time is of the essence, my dear. Since you're so rich and powerful, what is it we could possibly have to offer you? I need you to be my eyes and ears. I have some friends coming to town that I'd like to roll out the red carpet for. Greet them warmly, and bring them to me. And how will we know these friends? WINTERS: Don't worry. They're impossible to miss. (SIREN WAILS) (PIGEONS COO) (BIRDS SHRIEK) (Swallows and belches) (DOORBELL CHIMES) And you keep them up! Got that?! And don't let me catch you calling the cops. (CHAIN RATTLES) Not again. Didn't I take care of you last week? Oh, no. Come on now. I'm very disappointed in you, knucklehead. Guess night school's in session. (Man whistles) Hope I'm not disturbing class. Hey, Night Watcher, need any teaching assistance? RAPH: Oh, no. Casey. I got this one covered, pal. Thanks, but no thanks. You think you own these rooftops? I happen to think you could use my help. (CHAIN RATTLES) And I could use a sidekick. You may have everyone else fooled, but you haven't fooled me, Raph. Yeah, well, guess what, pal. Now, you... Hey, wait a minute. How'd you know it was me? Wasn't that hard, man. You know, you look like a big, metal turtle. It's that obvious, huh? THIEF: I should have stayed in law school. Oh, ain't that cute. He's trying to get away. Well, looks like I got a sidekick. Yeah, right. You're the sidekick. MAN: What? Is it performance art? I don't get it. RAPHAEL: What was I supposed to do? Sit around, wait for Leo to come back and save the day? I mean, we haven't heard word one from him since Splinter sent him away on his little vacation. Come on, you think these lowlifes take vacations at the first sign of pressure? No. The criminal element of this city may be guilty of a lot of things, but being quitters ain't one of them. You know, I don't even care about Leo anymore. Kind of hope he never comes back. Come on, aren't you being a little hard on the guy? I don't know. It's possible. I guess if I could live anywhere other than the city, I'd go too, but I could never leave this place. I can't even sleep without the sound of the subway rumbling over my head. Guess it comes from growing up with a house full of brothers. I'm not trying to tell you what to do. I'm just saying that, if it was my brother, I'd find a way to work it out. But that's just me. I got my own issues, you know? Like, back at home with April. There's this whole thing about settling down that makes me miss the old times. I don't know if I can be the grown-up she needs me to be. (Snores) Good talk, Raph. Arise, my brothers. Arise, dear sister. The Stars of Keekan align. All ye generals wake from your stone slumber. 5 (Snores) Dude... (Snores) Dude... (Snores) (Groans) Enter. Kneel, my son. I've returned from my training, master. I was so caught up in my own world, I forgot about everyone else. I'm sorry I failed. On the contrary, my son. Now you are much stronger. Your strength is needed here now. You owe me no apology. But perhaps you should talk to Raphael. Your absence has been particularly difficult for him. Though, he'll never admit it. I'm certain things will be back to normal in no time, master. Good. Because until you can act as one, you are forbidden to fight. Yes, Sensei. I have missed you, Leonardo. I've missed you too, Father. Raphael! Your brother is home. Hey. Hey. Uh...welcome home. Yeah. Thanks. Well... (Yawns) I'm going to bed. Hey, Leo's back. Better go say hello before he leaves again. What? Leo! Hey! Huh? Leo? Is that really you? Yeah, man. I'm, like, dreaming, aren't I? No, Mikey, you're not dreaming. Oh, good. I have nightmares about birthday parties. RAPHAEL: OK, Leo, I'll bite. What are we doing up here? LEONARDO: I told Splinter I'd get this team in shape again. Hey, I've been training. Since you left, my video game scores have, like, doubled. Right, and while you've been playing games, little brother, this Night Watcher character's come into the neighbourhood like some kind of vigilante showboat. But his days are done. Hey, you went AWOL, Leo. And the Night Watcher was the only guy to pick up the slack. Crime never took a break, you did. I heard his bike turns into a plane. Or, like, a jet pack. Hey, Don, you're so smart, why don't we have jet packs? Yeah, that's good, Mikey. I don't even trust you with a driver's licence. Have you seen the way this guy... (ROARING) Aargh! Whoa. Oh! Oh! Someone's cranky. (ROARING) OK, jungle boy. Grab a vine. Raph! Wait! Splinter told us not to fight. (Chuckles) Jungle boy. Good one. (Groans) Oh... Alright, but remember. We're only up here for training. MICHELANGELO: You know what I always say. Train by doing, dude. LEONARDO: Mikey, when have you ever said that? Ooh, you smell that? It's like a monkey cage up here. Whoa! Wow, good news is, there's a bunch of foot ninjas getting the snot kicked out of them. (Roars) Bad news is, this thing is going to run out of bodies soon. Yeah, so? You think we should help these guys? I'd rather enjoy the show. What do you say, fearless leader? I say we stop talking! (Raphael yells) (Shouts) Come here, fuzzy wuzzy. You! I think we're getting off on the wrong foot here. We're trying to help you. Never. Team. (Speaks Japanese) Wait! The Shredder's dead! Who are you working for?! Little help, oh, fearless one. That was too easy. Like I said...too easy. Oh! Look at me! Down the elevator. Oh, my shoulder! My spleen! (RUMBLING) Ah, this place needed a skylight. (Roars) This is why we need jet packs. OK, any more bright ideas? How about this? (Both scream) (Roars) When this is over, I'm totally calling the architect. (THUDDING FOOTSTEPS) (STONE SCRAPING) (Roars) How did something that big just disappear? It doesn't... (SIRENS WAIL) Uh-oh. Dude, it's the cops. Raph. Raph! Oh-oh, yeah. The turtles are back, dudes. (Laughs) I give us a ten for style, an eight for skill and a two for stealth. What seems to be the problem? The problem is that we were hired to merely patrol the city and report anything strange to you. You never said anything about monsters. Ooh... Now, I'm sorry that your illustrious group have been reduced to hired guns, but I believe we made a deal, Karai. And I expect you to honour it. You do understand honour, don't you? Hmm. So, how did we fare? (CHAINS CLINKING) (Chuckles) My, my, my. And what is your name? (Roars) Were there any problems, General? None, my lord. Then show these fools how a true warrior acts. Keep them on schedule in completing their task. KARAI: We do not need any help. Nevertheless, Karai, I trust my family more than I trust you. You may be the eyes and ears, but they are the muscle. They will help you gather the remaining 12 of these abominations, so we can finally see our birthrights fulfilled. (Chuckles) It's going to be quite a party. 4 Dudes, did anyone get the licence plate of that thing that hit us last night? Ay, my head. DONATELLO: OK, that was just weird. I mean, first the foot, then that hideous monster. Yeah, it looked like your mom, dude. (Laughs) Yeah, that would make her your mom too, doofus. Yeah, whatever. Keep laughing, Mikey. Last night was an embarrassment. LEONARDO: I'll tell you what's embarrassing. You can't even follow a single order. Oh, how cute. You've been back for five minutes and now you're schooling us on your master plan. Oh, OK, so this is my fault now, huh, Raph? I'm the only one that has to be responsible?! Hey, you're the trained master, not me. Dudes, can it. Here comes Splinter. (Splinter hums melody) Oh, good morning, my sons. TURTLES: Good morning, Sensei. RAPHAEL: What's up? (Continues humming) SPLINTER: Every ninja's day should start with a healthy breakfast. It fills me with pride to see you boys together again. If anyone needs me, I'll be watching my stories. Hothead. Splinter junior! Cody is going to break up with Donna, I just know it. ANNOUNCER: We interrupt 'The Gilmore Girls' for this special news report. Monsters loose in the city? Strange reports are coming in tonight about a construction site incident that sounds like something out of science fiction... Boys! SPLINTER: Leonardo, I am most disappointed in you. You are the eldest of your brothers. I was counting on you to bring order to the chaos of this family. This is why I have forbidden any surface activity. We cannot return to the surface to fight evil if we continue to fight each other. But, Master Splinter, how can I be expected to do so...? There are no excuses when you are the leader, my student. (Sighs) RAPHAEL: We have to go out and find who's responsible for this. There ain't no other solution. Save the brute vigilante junk for that Night Watchman. OTHERS: Night Watcher. Yeah, whatever. I'm going out. (Roars) (CHAINS RATTLING) (YELLING) (Roars) (ROCK MUSIC) (OBJECT WHIPPING THROUGH AIR) NEWSCASTER: Witnesses say there are holes in the floors, as if something, or someone, had just blasted straight down through them, leaving authorities scratching their heads. (Sighs) Well, at least some people care about justice these days. RAPHAEL: Hey, Casey! Raph? Meet me on the roof, OK? What is it? The roof. You know what the roof is, don't you? Pushy sidekick. NEWSCASTER: We've gotten this image in from an amateur cameraman, and I do stress 'amateur'. Casey, come look at this. Be safe. What's this all about, Raph? We got bigger things to worry about tonight than criminals. Like what? (Screeches) CASEY: Whoa! RAPHAEL: Come on! I think we lost it. Eh, it's got to be around here somewhere. I don't think so. (Screeches) (Shouts) What's going on, Raph? Did I mention we ran into a monster last night? No, you kind of failed to tell me about that one, buddy. (Moans) CASEY: You do know I only have a wooden bat, don't you? (ROARING AND SCREECHING) The foot?! I thought they were history! And now we got walking statues. You got a plan for those? Uh, yeah. Hey, those are a first for me, too. And who knows? These guys might be friendly. (Growls and screeches) (Chuckles nervously) Friendly. Wait a second. Those statues look... Whoa! (ROCKS CLATTERING) (Growls) Witnesses. Watch out! Ah, I don't feel so good. CASEY: Whoa! (Snarls) That can't be good. (Coughs) Oh, that's just rude. (Gasps) Hey, wait up. Raph! What, you never heard of smoke pellets? Warn me next time. (Coughs) I got allergies. CASEY: Aw, come on. (Sniffs) That's the second mask this week. They'll never find us in here. Stay with me now. We'll be out of here soon. (THUDDING) And I thought girl scouts were pushy. Some people just can't take a hint. MAN OVER MEGAPHONE: This is the police. You on the roof, put your hands behind... your... What is it? Tommy, you see this? (THUD) (Growls) (HELICOPTER BLADES WHIRRING) Yeah, you better run. Phew! Well, I got to hand it to you, Raph - you sure know how to show a lady a good time. Raph? Ah, no, I got to get you someplace safe, pal. MICHELANGELO: Mm, mm, mm! My compliments to the chef. Le... (Belches) (PHONE RINGS) (Sighs) Anyone for dessert? TURTLES: No. SPLINTER: Yes! Cowabunga Carl Party Services. Cowabunga, dude. APRIL: Raph's been hurt. You need to get over here right away. Slow down, April. What happened to Raph? APRIL: I don't know. He's unconscious. (Sighs) I'll be right there. Leo! You came back! Leo! Sorry the reunion isn't under better circumstances. Whoa! Nice pad, kids. Oh, hey, Raph. Well, his vital signs seem to be OK. Pupil dilation is normal. Whoa. BOTH: Whoa. Some sort of stone. Probably obsidian, I think. Well, is he gonna be alright? You still here? Go back to your jungle. Well, at least his personality's still intact. And there's an engraving on it. Looks South American. That's your department, April. Would it help things if I told you that those statues you collected for that Winters guy were shooting these things at me and Raph? The legend of Yaotl. It can't be. It was just a myth, a scary story the locals told kids around a campfire. Whoa, what are you talking about? They say... 3000 years ago, some great warrior actually found a portal to another dimension. And when the portal opened, the energy from it gave the warrior eternal life. But it also turned his generals to stone. What if this warrior just kept living forever? He would spend the rest of his days in regret, spending all of his riches and all of his power to find a way to revive his stone generals. Maybe, just maybe, he's built a new empire. But, hey, like I said, it's just a myth. Hmm, if you ask me, guys, this has Winters' name written all over it. How do you figure that, Donnie? Yeah! Yeah. Because this has Winters' name written all over it. Now I know who to thank for this shot in the arm. So, where do we find this guy and his stone jokers? We're not going anywhere until we get Splinter's blessing. You're gonna stand here and quote a rulebook to me that you ain't been following for a year?! Look, Raph, if you've got something you want to get off your shell, now's the time, but I'm not gonna stand here and debate Splinter's direct orders with you! Fine, then. I quit. Hey, Raph, don't do it, man. Sometimes just taking a breather is the best thing to do. Whatever. 5 (SIREN BLARES IN DISTANCE) To picking up the pieces. What is it? Two creatures remain, my lord. Well, by all means, then, let's finish it. And you will finally be free of your stone prison. But if the curse is broken, we will no longer be immortal. Brother, do not question my command. (Grumbles) (Michelangelo grunts) Here we go now. APRIL: So, what are we looking for? Well, according to these star charts, the portal is set to open directly over Winters' tower in the next 24 hours. So, the legend is right. 3000 years. And when the portal opens, we'll lose the city to monsters within hours. Within days, the country. And within weeks, the world. (Michelangelo groans) Oh, so it's like Halley's comet, only monsters come out. Um... Yes, I...I guess so. I'm smart. (CRASH!) MICHELANGELO: I'm OK. Why do we need Raph, anyway? It's his temper that always jeopardises all our missions. OK, Leo, whatever you say. Nobody was talking about him. SPLINTER: Leonardo? This team you are so eager to lead is incomplete. You know what you must do. Yes, Sensei. Generals, I think our brother has plans to betray us. The 13th monster must not be found. RADIO HOST: Why don't we take one more call about these monster sightings? Silverton, New Jersey, you're on... Monster sightings! Huh! (CLATTERING) Hmm? (Screams) MAN: Attention, all on-duty officers, report of a disturbance on 32nd. No units available. RAPHAEL: They're playing my song. (Gasps) Alright, alright, where are the cops? How come the cops haven't showed up? Just remember what my analyst said. Just go to my happy place. Everything's gonna be fine. Happy place, I'm feeling good, I'm thin, I'm... Don't get up. (Cracks knuckles) I'll serve myself. (SCREECHING) Oh, look at you. Ain't you cute! You want a butt-kicking, little fella? Yes, you do! You do! Come on! I'm gonna drop-kick you to hurty town. Come on, little... (Shrieks) ('BLACK BETTY' PLAYS) Get off of me, you little monster! Oh, you're scratching the helmet! OK, that was different. (Screeches) (MUFFLED THUDDING) (Bleats) Hey, this thing ain't rust-proof. Get off of me! (Bleats) (Yelps) Come on! (Growls) How about a snack, little fella? (Bleats) (RUMBLE) (HIGH-PITCHED WHINE) (Shrieks) (GLASS SHATTERS) (SHRIEKING CONTINUES) Keep on running, you filthy little hermit crab! That spicy meatball's on the house. Oh, big guy, please don't hurt me. What? I'm not robbing you. I'm helping you. OK, whatever you say, sir. Please, I got kids. In college. Community college. Here you go, pal. Make sure this is safe. Take it. Take everything. I'm not even looking, go! Oh, why has everyone got such a hard time believing I am a good guy? I just saved your life. (SHARP CLATTER) This night just keeps getting better and better (!) (Groans) (HORNS HONKING) (TYRES SCREECH) (HORNS HONKING) I want you to know that I appreciate your intentions, but you can't change the world like this. The road you're on... RAPHAEL: Is he kidding? Believe me, I've tried it. He's lecturing! So I'm gonna give you one chance to just walk away and stop this vigilante nonsense. OK, Leo, time to teach you a lesson. (CLANGING) Look, trust me when I tell you you don't want to do this. Oh, yeah. Well, I notice you got quite a temper. Hey, have you ever done this before? Oh, come on, you call that an attack?! (Chuckles) Alright! Finally, some excitement. (Roars and grunts) Funny thing about anger... Let it consume you, and soon enough... ..you lose sight of everything. (Groans) Good night, dark prince. (Moans) Raph?! What?! (Groans) You are so smug, you know that? You think the world revolves around you, don't you? That we couldn't possibly survive without the mighty and powerful Leonardo to guide us through our problems, huh? Well, I got a news flash for you - we got along just fine without you. Oh, and this qualifies as "just fine"?! Dressing up like it's Halloween every night? Risking the safety of our family? I mean, come on, what were you thinking? Don't push it, Leo. You can't leave home and come back expecting us to fall in line again like your little soldiers. Hey, I was training, training to be a better leader. For you! (THUNDER RUMBLES) Why do you hate me for that? And whoever said I wanted to be led? I'm better off calling my own shots now. Get used to it. You aren't ready. You're impatient and hot-tempered, and more importantly, I'm better than you. (Laughs) Oh, you know something, big brother? I'd have to disagree with you on that one. Don't do this, Raph. I'm done taking orders. (THUNDER RUMBLING) (BLADES CLANGING) (Grunts) (THUNDER RUMBLING) (SOFT THUD) Aargh! Uh... (Moans) Not human. But clearly not the final monster. Yaotl won't know the difference. By the time our brother discovers this turtle is not the 13th monster, it will already be too late. (Leonardo's yell echoes) Leo! Leo! Hang on! Leo! Leo! No! 1 (Grunts) (Inhales deeply) (Groans) (CLATTERING) Raphael?! What is the matter? I was out. I was out and I did... I did something. Something happened, and... And then I... And I... (Groans) Raphael, kneel. I did something. I did something really stupid, Master Splinter. Go on. I know why you chose him now. I know that there's a reason why he's the better son and I'm not. Raphael, you always bear the world's problems on your shoulders. It is an admirable quality when you are a protector of others. But you must realise that, while at times, you may not be my favourite student, it does not mean that you are my least favourite son. You are strong, passionate and loyal to a fault. These are the merits of a great leader, as well. But only when tempered with compassion and humility. But, Master Splinter, I messed up big tonight. I mean, big... They took him. Leonardo? Yeah. (Breathes steadily) Then the time for hiding is over. We must return to the surface to take back what is ours. By your wish, Father. Long have we been in hiding, perhaps too long. Well, what do we do now? I'll tell you what we're gonna do. We're gonna rescue our brother. And then we're gonna save New York City. # What you got now, gotta, gotta give it up # What you got now, gotta, gotta give it up # What you got now, what you got now... # Whoa. I got it on my last trip to Japan. You like it? Oh, yeah. No way! Wow. You can't go trick or treating without your mask. Oh, babe, thanks. As ordered, no one gets into the tower. No one interferes. No one bears witness. (THREE KNOCKS ECHOING) (THUDDING) (DOOR CREAKING) You've got to be kidding me. (Chuckles) Cowabunga, dude. Uh...I'm here for little Maxie's 13th birthday party. KARAI: Leave, now! Oh, but you don't understand, lady. I got to... (WHOOSHING) (BOOMING THUDS) WINTERS: At last, after 3000 years, the time is finally at hand! (MUFFLED BLEATING) (CRACKLING) What? What have you done?! Your time for giving orders is over. You don't understand. I want to send these creatures back to where they came from. To undo the damage that was done so many years ago. Time has done nothing but made you weak. We have our own plans. Immortality is a curse, brother, trust me. I've lived long enough to know. We have to find that 13th monster. It's time to end it. No! Our time is just beginning. (ROCK-RAP MUSIC PLAYING) Oh! Heads up, dudes. (Grunts and groans) APRIL: Guys, front door's open, now! MICHELANGELO: Two minutes for high-sticking. (Groans) (DULL EXPLOSION) MICHELANGELO: Dudes, that rocked! Let's go again! # It's life or death, medical decision # Underground, stickin' to the streets like the homeless # With the dopeness, recognise the real P.O.D. Dudes, what do we do? I'm working on it. You break it, you buy it. (ALARMS BLARING) Yeah! Alright! Alright! Nice! Nice work, Jones. I have my moments. Whoa, check it out. That would be the swirling vortex to another world, I assume. MICHELANGELO: Cool. I want one. Leo? Is that you? (Roars) Whoa! Sorry, wrong cage. Leo! I got him. Out of the way, please. (BEEPING) (EXPLOSION) Hey, buddy. Come on, man. Up we go. There you go. (Chokes) You're gonna need these if you're gonna lead us out of here. I'm gonna need you, too. (ECHOING YELL) (Groans) APRIL: Winters! MICHELANGELO: Looks more like fall. Get it? Mikey, remember our talk. CASEY: Looks like someone got to him before us. APRIL: Is he dead? (Grunts) Not so immortal, huh, dudes? (Gasps) (Pants) APRIL: Your time's run out, Winters. Miss O'Neil. I must've hit my head pretty hard. I'm seeing giant turtles. We know what you're up to, Winters. We know about the portal, and we think that it's time you sent all these monsters home. WINTERS: I couldn't agree with you more. It is time to put an end to the curse that I have brought upon myself and this world. That's what this is about, Miss O'Neil - penance. I must return all 13 beasts or our curse will continue, and that is a torment I can no longer bear. AQUILA: Then you should be put out of your misery. (THUDDING FOOTSTEPS) I think we walked in on a family feud, guys. The time has come to reopen the portal and rain destruction upon the earth. Nothing will stand in our way when we have an army at our command. My brothers, I... We are no brothers to you! With one monster still free, the curse will never be broken. We shall finish what we began all those years ago, and we will finally have our victory. AQUILA: Join us. Join us, foot clan. Swear your allegiance to us, and no harm will befall you. Hmm. The foot ninja is not without honour. We work for Winters, not you. Hmm. OK, what does that mean? It means we're going to help you. My ninja will find the last monster, and you will bring it back here. Hurry! We don't have much time. Hey, I got shotgun. AQUILA: Forget about them. By the time they return, the portal will already be closed. With you inside it. I hate to see brothers fight like this. Unless it's together. Hate to rain on your parade, pal, but we thought we'd even the odds. We're going to enjoy this. (Speaks Japanese) If you please. They can defeat them. They are a team. WINTERS: Let's hope so, because if not, Aquila will use the portal to draw forth an army of evil, and the world will be lost. More beasts! Let's send them back where they belong. (SCREECHING) Aargh! Temper, temper. The thing about you immortal stone guys is... ..you know, you're immortal and made of stone. I sound like Mikey! (Creatures screech) You fight well. You should join us. No, thanks. I'm good. (THUD) (Groans) These guys really don't die. Sensei, are you alright? They better hurry with that last monster. I'm sure my man Casey's got it all under control. Yeah, that's what I'm afraid of. 5 (TYRES SCREECHING) Can't this piece of junk go any faster? You want to drive? I would, as a matter of fact. You'd think they would be more concerned about the 13th monster. (Growls) (NINJA YELLS AND GRUNTS) (ELECTRICITY CRACKLING) (Grunts) Boys, we must finish this now! (All yell) (Grunts and groans) (Exhales and groans) So, did we win? Huh? (WHOOSHING) (FEROCIOUS GROWL) (DEEP, EVIL LAUGHTER) Foolish creatures. We are immortals made of stone. Without the final monster to break our curse, we will never be stopped. (HORN BEEPING REPEATEDLY) Hmm? CASEY: Special delivery! (Growls) Look out! (Screeches) (ELECTRICITY CRACKLING) (Yells) (Yells) (ELECTRICAL ZAPPING) (DEBRIS CLATTERING) (LOW RUMBLING) So, do we win now? Yeah, I...I think we did. We won! Yeah! Alright! That's what I'm talking about! (Grunts and laughs) CASEY: Nice parallel parking. Next time...I'm driving! (Exhales) (Grunts) CASEY: Hey! Watch the hair. Ooh! (Groans) Mm. RAPHAEL: Typical - we do all the work, he gets all the thanks. Aw... You are every bit the warriors I was informed you were. You have passed. Savour your victory tonight, for soon we will have further business together, the kind that involves familiar faces from your past. She doesn't mean...? (SMALL EXPLOSION) (All cough) CASEY: Come on! What is it with ninjas and smoke pellets? (Coughs) Looks like you picked a good time to come home. Thanks... ..for bringing me back. (SOUND LIKE QUIET SOBBING) Winters? (QUIET CHUCKLING GROWS INTO LOUD LAUGHTER) I'm never usually that happy to be in pain. He's happy because he's mortal again, Mikey. April, I've had my eye on you for a long time. I knew it! I've always known that you'd be the one to help me find my way home. And thank you... ..brothers. You've made a very old man very, very happy. So, um, what happens now? (HIGH-PITCHED WHOOSHING) (WHOOSHING) OK...just a little bit creepy. (Sneezes loudly) Oh, gross! I think he's in my no... my no...my no... (Gasps) (Sneezes loudly) Oh, gross! Somebody give me a hanky. (Groans) Now, he's in my mouth. Oh, oh, tastes awful! RAPHAEL: You got room for one more? MICHELANGELO: Uh, can I get rid of this, too? (Grunts and laughs) (Grunts, whoops and laughs) We live together. We train together. We fight together. We stand for good together. We are ninjas. We strike hard, defend, protect and fade into the night. And there ain't no bad guy or monster gonna ever change that. That's what's important. And that's why we'll always be... ..brothers. (Yells) Oh, I love being a turtle.
