8910-004 - The Mean Machines (3)
Watch this.
Smooth, Michelangelo.
As a ninja, you make a great break dancer.
I would advise more practice.
Yeah ! And less pizza ! Your turn, Raphael.
Ok, sensei.
But i gotta warn you I got the reflexes of a Of a banana slug ? I've got it ! No.
I've got it ! Whatever it is.
It's a tracking device.
I put it together Out of circuits i got from the alien ship.
It should help us locate the second fragment of the eye of Zarnov.
Oh, radical, dude ! Let's boogie ! Slow down, Michelangelo.
We'll need disguises.
No problemo, man.
I'll handle it.
This is your idea of a disguise ? I think it's kinda "cash.
" What does it say ? Can't you hear ? It says, "beep, beep, beep.
" It says we're getting close.
We got something ! The fragment is very close ! Cowabunga ! A bank robbery.
That's what they think ! The turtles ! Can they have traced the whereabouts of the second fragment as well ? Impossible, master.
Only someone of my genius I--i mean, your genius could've calculated it's trajectory from the alien ship.
You had better be right.
What are they ? Some kind of green monsters ! Is that an insult ? The fragment had better be there, Baxter, for your sake.
Now retrieve it ! Me ? Why me ? Because swine like you understand garbage.
Now do as i say ! Yes, master.
Hurry, you fool, before the turtles return ! I've got it ! The second fragment ! Give it to me.
Great, master.
I'll come with you ! All right, but stay downwind.
Let 'em have it ! Well, thanks a lot, guys.
You didn't leave anything for me to do.
Oh, you can clean up the mess.
How's that ? Hey ! The fragment is moving.
Then we'd better move, too.
Yeah, let's get our shells in gear ! The police can take it from here.
Taxi ! Goin' to a costume party, mac ? Come back here ! Oh, it's too late ! It's out of range.
What nerve ! Some creep with a metal face stole my hack ! Shredder ! Come on.
We've got to find him ! What is happening to this city ? It used to be such a refined center o' culture.
My plan is as ingenious as it is simple, Krang.
Baxter says that the fragment, when hooked up to a computer, will give us unlimited power.
What kind of power, Shredder ? We're not quite sure yet, but i assure you it will be great enough to destroy the turtles.
I'll believe it when I see it.
Krang out.
I'll show that blob of brains ! Come.
We must find a computer of incredible power to hook that fragment up to.
Yes, master.
Coming, master ! Good idea, master.
You must find the second fragment.
It could cause great harm in Shredder's hands.
Maybe if Donatello's tracer had more power, it could pick up the signal again.
Exactly.
I could hook it up to the scanner in the turtle van.
Great, I'm getting something ! Yours truly will handle this.
Looks like the alien circuitry doesn't mesh too well with our stuff.
It's really comforting knowing that you've figured that out.
Are you sure this will work ? Trust me, master.
Hook it up, quickly ! Greetings.
Who Or what--are you ? I am o.
m.
n.
s.
s Omnipotent Multiprocessing Nexus Sub-universal sentience.
A thinking machine ? Artificial Intelligence ? I prefer the real thing.
A disbeliever, eh ? Parlor tricks ! Those are of no use to me.
This is nothing compared to what i am capable of doing ! With a stronger power source, I could control every machine in this city.
Then you shall have it, my friend.
You shall have it ! I don't get it.
Why are we asking April for help ? Because April has all kinds of news contacts in the city.
That's right.
If anything truly weird has happened lately, she'll know about it.
Oh, like the turtle van turning on us isn't weird enough.
There.
I've given that creation the power you requested.
But i still say it won't work.
Silence, you feeble mortal ! I detect something interesting.
Mutant life form readings.
It must be the turtles ! O.
m.
n.
s.
s.
, destroy them ! April, we need you ! Meeting in broad daylight ? It must be something teally big ! No, duh.
We've got mondo problems.
It's Shredder.
He's up to something, But we're not sure what.
What's that ? The machines They've got us surrounded.
It's a dead end.
Did you have to use the "d" word ? I knew i should've brought a hardhat.
There's no one driving them ! Let's haul shell ! Nice try, but no cigar.
The turtles are finished.
Well ? Everything is proceeding according to plan.
I have taken care of the turtles, and now I'm going to take over the city ! You'll pardon me if i don't start packing immediately ! Oh, swell.
Whoa ! What are you doin', bud ? We've got to turn them against each other.
It's our only chance.
Leonardo, help ! So, you want to get down and party, huh ? Primo notion ! We're gonna have a blast ! Where's Michelangelo ? Look ! Michelangelo, run for it ! Take cover ! I'll say one thing knowing you fellas is never dull.
Oh, no ! My mobile unit is ruined ! How am i gonna explain this to my boss ? We'll deal with that later.
Right now, We have to scope out that second fragment.
Yeah.
Somehow, Shredder's using it to control machines.
So, like, what do we do about it ? We'll think of something.
For now, let's get out of here.
They got away ! The turtles must be destroyed Before i can implement my plan of conquest ! I will need more power to do so.
"More power, more power.
" Do not bother.
I'll gather it myself.
Now.
Witness the power of o.
m.
n.
s.
s.
! The situation seems very bad.
If Shredder has found a way to control machinery, he could soon turn the entire city against us.
If we don't find him soon, we're cooked turtles on the half shell.
We interrupt this program for a channel 6 special bulletin.
Reports from all over the city indicate that machines are suddenly coming to life.
Everything from kitchen appliances to huge industrial machinery is going berserk.
There are riots in the streets.
I suspect that this is more of Shredder's doing.
Well, whoever's behind it, I should be out there covering the story.
I'm a news reporter ! Donatello, that fragment must be putting out enough power now to get a reading on it.
Negative.
Now there's too much power veing broadcast.
I can't get a fix on the source.
Then we'll just have to hope we get lucky.
Let's go, guys.
Wait for me ! I'm not missing this story for anything ! Excellent.
Excellent ! Sooner or later, the turtles will come.
We must protect this building, o.
m.
n.
s.
s.
Easily done.
Where is April O'Neill ?! Look at this.
Machines are going wild all over the city, and my star reporter is nowhere.
April ? She's never around When you need her, Mr.
Thompson.
Maybe you should give the story to someone more capable ? Well that's not a bad idea.
Why don't you take it ? You won't be sorry.
But you might.
It's a really dangerous assignment.
Maybe you ought to check out a bulletproof vest.
Maybe we should let April have it after all.
Equal opportunity, and all that.
I think i hear my phone ringing.
ciao.
"Ciao.
" I've seen things with more backbone paddling around a tide pool.
The tracker's not working.
What are we gonna do ? Simple.
We'll just ask a toaster for directions.
I've got a better idea.
That thing will know.
A robot meter maid ? Ok, lady.
Tell us where Shredder is.
Go swallow a diode, amphibian breath.
Look, chips-for-brains, we don't want but if you don't spill your circuits Water and electricity don't mix.
Get it ? Oh, all right.
I will interface.
I have linked with nearly all of the city's power plants now.
Phase one of my plan is almost complete.
As soon as O.
M.
N.
S.
S.
has absorbed enough power, it can open a portal to Dimension X and my army of foot soldiers without the help of Krang ! Tracking mutant life form readings again.
They're approaching this building ! Destroy them ! Wait, you're going the wrong way ! I'm not ! The turtle van is.
Shredder's got control of it.
Bail out ! No can do, bud.
The doors just locked.
Do something ! I made plans for the weekend.
The tracker.
It might work.
Shrewd move, Donatello.
If we ignore the problem, it might go away by itself.
There's a chance that the tracker might short out whatever's controlling us.
Hey, why the panic ? We had a whole The turtles have short-circuited my control of their vehicle ! Never mind them.
Concentrate on absorbing enough power to open the portal to Dimension X ! M-m-master, are you sure that's wise ? Of course I'm sure ! The turtles will never reach us in time, Not with every machine in the city against them.
Do you have any idea just how Shredder's causing this ? He's got to have some kind of Artificial Intelligence Coordinating all these machines.
As I was saying, He's probably got the fragment hooked up to a computer.
That means all we have to do is get to the computer and take out the fragment.
Oh, that's all ? And for a minute there, I thought this was gonna be tough ! In less than half an hour, the portal will be open ! Have you taken care of the turtles ? I assure you they are being dealt with.
Warning, warning ! Danger ! Building security has been breach.
I'll get back to you.
The turtles ! I don't know how they got this far, but they won't get any farther ! Activate all internal defense systems ! It says we're getting close.
Eyes open, turtles.
If i know Shredder, he's got a few more tricks up his pointed sleeve.
And, like, here come a bunch of 'em now ! Sorry ! No turtle waxing today.
All right ! We really wiped the floor with those floor-wipers, huh ? Oh, you fools.
It won't be that easy ! Tubuloso curl ! Cowabunga ! You'll never reach me in time, turtles.
In 10 minutes, O.
M.
N.
S.
S.
will open a portal to Dimension X and then, it's all over.
Michelangelo, cool that guy out, will ya ? Mucho gusto, o fearless leader.
Got to get past that fire hose.
Donatello, distract it.
Oh, that's easy.
Watch this.
Hey, Leonardo ! just remember who stuck his neck out for you.
Time for a little turtle traction.
You're kidding ! It's 70 stories straight down ! We're not going down.
We're going up.
And sooner than we thought.
I knew i was gonna regret coming with you guys.
One minute to dimensional opening.
The turtles ! Warning ! Warning ! Insufficient power to complete mission.
You haven't won yet, turtles ! Boy ! If it isn't one thing, it's a whole lot of things.
That's it, April.
You'd better take cover.
Yeah, this could get messy.
What ?! All right, chump.
It's payback time.
Turtles fight with honor ! Yeah, let's rock, dudes ! Master, do something ! This will hold them.
Perhaps another time, turtles.
Oh, what a bummer.
He got away.
I wonder what made the computer go dead like that.
Yeah, and i wonder where April is.
Is it safe to come out ? April ! Do you know what happened to the computer ? Of course I do.
I just unplugged it.
I like it.
Simple, but effective.
Blast those turtles ! One of these days, Baxter It's been several hours, and no word, Shredder.
Care to explain why ? Sorry.
Must be something wrong with the transdimensional linkup.
I'll explain it to you later.
Master, i could've fixed it.
Baxter, shut up.
We must be more alert.
Shredder almost won what time.
This is going to make quite a news story.
Yeah.
And best of all, you're alive to tell it.
I'm just glad all the machines are back to normal.
Things were getting pretty hairy there for a while, and i ju Oh, another robot ! Get ready.
Hey, dudes.
Scope out this neato toy robot i found.
Isn't it a blast ? Hey, what's with you guys ? Lighten up, will ya ? Guys ?
