[THUDDING.]
What in blazes? [ALL GRUNTING.]
Oh, dude.
How much longer do we have to do this? You know what they say.
No pain, no gain.
Hey, fellas, do you mind? Master Splinter and I can't meditate with all this racket.
You don't have to ask me twice.
[.]
Master Mogo-san? Yes, Hamato Yoshi.
It is I, your sensei.
I have chosen this telepathic means of communicating with you for a request.
Tell me and I will obey.
I will be arriving today by sailing vessel at precisely 3:00.
I humbly ask that you meet me at Pier 17.
I would be honored, sensei.
Here, sensei.
Slip into this coat.
I leave the lair so rarely.
Such an old-fashioned style might attract attention.
Right, like his rat tail wouldn't? And this hat tops off the outfit perfectly.
Thank you, my students.
You sure you don't want us to come along? No, Leonardo.
This is something I must do by myself.
This is April O'Neil here at the Mid-City Bank, scene of the most recent theft committed by the notorious Black Heart Gang, who have been terrorizing the city for weeks with their vicious criminal rampages.
With me is Mr.
Crocker, president of the bank.
These films, taken by the bank security video camera, show the gang's incredible ninja skills.
This is the ninja gang's leader, known only as Yoku.
The Mid-City Bank has posted a reward.
If you have any information as to the gang's whereabouts, please contact the police.
I have a better idea.
We'll find that Black Heart Gang ourselves and put them to work for us.
My thought precisely, Krang.
With a gang of highly-skilled ninjas like those at my side, you and I could rule this city.
I'll head for the surface immediately.
Uh, wait, boss.
We wanna come with you.
Yeah, we're just itching for a good fight.
The only thing that's making you two baboons itch is not taking a bath.
Now, stop pestering me, and make yourselves useful.
Uh, what are we gonna do, Rocksteady? I don't know, Bebop.
Let's think about it.
Do we have to think? It makes my brain hurt.
Mine too.
But a rhino's gotta do what a rhino's gotta do.
[.]
SPLINTER: Three o'clock precisely.
As always, my sensei is meticulously punctual.
Hamato Yoshi? Are you here? These ancient eyes can barely see in this darkness.
I am here, Master Mogo-san.
And I am indeed honored.
What is this? Are you in some sort of disguise, Hamato Yoshi? If only that were the case, Master.
But h-how? I will explain it all.
But first, sensei, tell me what brings you to these shores.
A mission of utmost importance, my student.
Behold the sacred white belt of the Mogo clan.
I plan to pass it on to my grandson Yoku.
The same Yoku who came to these shores to study with me some two years ago? Precisely.
I will need your help in finding him.
It might be difficult.
Once his schooling was completed, he vanished without a trace.
Oh, he will be impossible to find in a city of this size.
Do not lose faith, sensei.
Come with me to the sewers.
I am certain the turtles can locate your grandson.
Sewers? Turtles? SPLINTER: I will explain on the way.
ROCKSTEADY: Boy, is Shredder gonna be surprised when he finds out we painted this place.
Yeah, and such a cheery shade of yellow.
Yellow? Ooh! I'm painting it blue.
Hey, forget it, man.
[SNORTS.]
Blue is for wimps.
Well, yellow is for-- For yellowbellies.
Yellow, yellow, yellow.
Oh, yeah--? Whoa! [SCREAMS.]
I could live with green.
Yeah, green ain't bad.
Even if it is the color of turtles.
Michelangelo, Raphael and Leonardo.
I am honored.
It is we who are honored, Master Mogo-san.
Sensei has told us of your incredible ninja skills.
[CHUCKLES.]
Alas, they have diminished with age, I fear.
Ta-da! I prepared a tray of sushi for our-- Whoa! Wow.
I don't believe it.
He made a sushi shish kebab.
As you know, I have journeyed here in search of my grandson Yoku.
The one who skipped out on Master Splinter? Uh, I'm afraid he's made a bad career choice.
Take a look at this.
APRIL: This is the ninja gang's leader, known only as Yoku.
My own grandson.
Involved with a criminal gang.
How could he dishonor the name of the venerated Mogo clan? Rest assured, the turtles and I will personally investigate these charges.
I will accompany you.
No, Master, it is best that you remain here.
Come, my students.
We must hurry.
[.]
APRIL: All jewelry establishments are warned to be on the lookout for the Black Heart Gang.
Yeah, just let them try it.
Yeah, nobody's busting in here while we're on duty.
[GUARDS SCREAM.]
Hold it right there.
I'll be happy to hold this for you.
You won't get me with that ninja stuff.
[GRUNTS.]
Oh.
Those young ninjas are even better-trained that I'd hoped.
I can put their skills to excellent use.
YOKU: Okay, now hurry and load these jewels on to the getaway truck.
The boss is a very impatient type.
Well, how would you know? No one's ever even seen him.
Yes, he is a mystery, but his reputation precedes him.
Let them have their jewels and baubles.
It can't compare with the power this ninja gang can bring me.
BOY: All right, Yoku.
We're ready to roll.
YOKU: Then hit it.
There were four of them, you say? It might as well have been a dozen.
I mean, they were doing all kinds of fancy chop-socky moves.
"Chop-socky"? Uh, you know, uh, ninja stuff.
I knew it all along.
The Black Heart Gang.
Shredder? What is he doing here? I'd better tell the turtles about this.
DONATELLO: What's up, April? There's been another break-in at the jewelry warehouse.
It looks like the Black Heart Gang is behind this one too.
And I also saw Shredder.
Hm.
What would Shredder be doing with them? Wait'll we tell old Mogo-san that his grandson is-- [MUFFLED.]
I fear we are not at liberty to discuss the matter.
MICHELANGELO: Was it something I said? Master Mogo-san would not wish the world to know of his sacred mission or his shame.
Now, proceed to the jewelry warehouse with utmost haste.
LEONARDO: Right, Master.
I know a shortcut.
[.]
DONATELLO: Leonardo, look out! [.]
Hang on, everyone.
We're gonna crash.
Not if my hydraulic lifts have anything to say about it.
[TIRES SQUEALING.]
Whoa.
Whoever that was sure was in a major hurry.
[TIRES SCREECH.]
[TIRE POPS.]
Oh, great.
A blowout.
That was the ninja gang's getaway truck.
It's filled with stolen jewelry.
Come on, help me change the flat tire so we can go after them.
Sorry, April, no can do.
We've gotta follow that truck before the trail gets cold.
Mother was right.
The age of chivalry is dead.
[.]
SHREDDER: Allow me to introduce myself.
I am Oroku Saki, better known as Shredder.
The scariest thing about that costume is your face.
[BOYS LAUGHING.]
I warn you.
Do not mock me.
Let's get him.
I warned you.
[SCREAMS, GRUNTS.]
[SCREAMS, GRUNTS.]
SHREDDER: I trust now you'll take me seriously.
Deadly serious, man.
Good.
I have a business proposition to make.
I'd like you and your gang to break into a certain government building and steal some top-secret maps.
So, what's in it for us? A supply of Dimension X weapons unlike anything this planet has ever seen.
What is a Dimension X? A parallel universe with undreamed-of technology, such as this paralyzer ray.
Oh, wow.
Pretty heavy.
[CHUCKLES.]
Merely a sample of what goodies await you.
Say yes and it's yours as a token of our new partnership.
I'll have to check it out with the boss.
But I think you've got yourself a deal.
ROCKSTEADY: Bebop, I gotta admit we've done a real good job of painting this place.
And we were real neat about it too.
[BEEPING.]
Hey, it's Shredder.
Yeah, boss.
What is it? Let me speak to Krang.
Now! Sure thing.
Right away.
[SQUISHY FOOTSTEPS.]
It's for you, Krang, sir.
Hand it over, you cretinous klutz.
[DEVICE BEEPS.]
Yes, Shredder.
What can we do for you? Those maps of the secret nuclear testing sites will soon be ours.
The fish has swallowed the bait.
[LAUGHS.]
A word of advice: Be careful not to get caught on your own hook.
DONATELLO: Well, we've covered the entire city, and still no sign of Yoku.
Hold on.
I found something.
RAPHAEL: It's that getaway truck that nearly creamed us.
[TIRES SCREECH.]
DONATELLO: Let's check it for the stolen jewelry.
Ah, too late, fellas.
Exhibit A is gone.
But I found something else, dudes.
Scope this out.
RAPHAEL: It's that creep Yoku.
MICHELANGELO: Yeah, and he's making some kind of deal with the Shredmeister.
We'll just break up that meeting.
The turtles.
Whenever you least expect us, Tin Grin.
[.]
ALL: Whoa! Au revoir, you meddlesome reptiles.
Oh, he got away.
So it is you.
Our old buddy Yoku.
What kind of a deal were you making with Shredder? So, what is it your business? You don't realize what kind of a ruthless fiend you're dealing with.
I know exactly who I'm dealing with.
And I wish you turtle-faced turkeys would butt out.
Turkeys? Why, I ought to Ought to do what? And the same goes for the rest of you bozos.
Now, I'm warning you guys.
Keep your beaks out of my business.
[DOOR OPENS.]
Master Yoshi? What are you doing here? I see there is still much to teach you, my student.
[YOKU GRUNTS.]
You're coming with us, Yogi.
That's Yoku, uh, and where are you taking me? You'll see.
Or should I say, you won't see? Good work, fellas.
You captured Yoku Mogo.
We sure did.
Where are you taking him? And what happened to Shredder? Sorry, April.
We can't talk about it.
But it's the biggest story of the year.
You've got to tell me.
No way, dudette.
Our turtle lips are sealed.
[TIRES SCREECH.]
I'm gonna find out what my good friends the turtles are up to.
LEONARDO: All right, Yoku.
We're here.
Good, then take off this stupid blindfold.
[CHUCKLES.]
Your wish is our command.
Grandfather.
What are you doing here? I came to pass on the sacred white belt of the Mogo clan.
But you have dishonored the family name.
Please, Grandfather.
Try to understand.
I have tried.
Hamato Yoshi, I order you to take this belt and burn it.
But this is a priceless heirloom.
Better it be consumed by flames than passed on to one who would disgrace it.
As you wish, sensei.
Now see what you've caused? Why don't you mind your own business? [ALL COUGHING.]
LEONARDO: I can't see.
[ALL CHOKING AND COUGHING.]
Hey, where'd he go? Come on, we gotta find him.
APRIL: Why are the turtles acting like this? They've never kept secrets from me before.
It's Yoku.
Well, if they won't tell me what they're up to, I'll just have to find out for myself.
SHREDDER: Yes, Krang.
Things are going splendidly.
Those maps will soon be ours.
KRANG: Well, step on it.
Ooh, I can hardly wait to get my hands on those nuclear installations.
If I had hands.
Patience, Krang.
Remember, all things come to he who waits.
SPLINTER: Well, did you find young Yoku? No, Master.
He made a clean getaway.
As if anything could be called "clean" in these sewers.
Man, it's punks like Yoku that really tick me off.
I mean, they've got everything going for them and boom, they blow it.
Raphael, you should not be so quick to judge others.
Human beings are like onions.
They have many layers.
And just like onions, they can make you cry.
[.]
APRIL: The leader of the ninja gang seems to be going over some sort of plan with the others.
If I can just get closer, I might hear what they're saying.
[BEEPS.]
Oh, no.
[BEEPING.]
April.
April, come in.
Not now.
April! What's wrong? Everything.
Spill it, sister.
Why were you snooping around, huh? Hey, she's April O'Neil, that TV reporter.
Well, I say we take her to the hideout and lock her up.
I got a better idea.
We can use her news van to get us into that government building.
Put her behind the wheel.
BOY: You are way smart, Yoku.
That's why the boss put me in charge.
Okay, sister, move it.
[CAR STARTS, TIRES SCREECH.]
[.]
THOMPSON: Where is April O'Neil? She's supposed to go on the air with that ninja gang story in exactly two minutes.
Don't worry, chief.
I'm taking over for her.
You? That's right.
You see, I know what she's been up to.
Up to? What? What? What? Tune in to my telecast and you'll hear the entire sleazy story.
DONATELLO: Let's check out April's news report.
Maybe she'll have some information on Yoku.
Good evening.
This is your intrepid reporter, Vernon Fenwick.
And have I got news for you.
ALL: Vernon? Where's April? Where is April O'Neil, you may be asking? This closed-circuit videotape will tell the whole story.
This is a top-security government building, and this is a gang of ninja hoodlums who have just broken in and stolen some high-level maps.
Hey, it's Yoku and the Black Heart Ninja Gang.
VERNON: Maps showing the location of every nuclear missile site in the country.
And most shocking of all, driving the getaway vehicle was none other than Channel 6's very own ex-news reporter, April O'Neil.
Yoku has April.
We've gotta help her.
[.]
It is too painful for me to remain here, my student.
I wish to return to my homeland on the next ship.
As you wish, sensei.
Here are the maps, just as we arranged.
No, Yoku.
Butt out, lady.
And as promised, the Dimension X armaments.
Use them in good health.
Pretty wicked.
The boss is gonna love these.
[CHUCKLES.]
And Krang will love these.
[CACKLING.]
LEONARDO: For the last time, mister, where is Yoku Mogo's hideout? I-- I-- I don't know any Yoku.
I-- I run an honest business.
[SIGHS.]
It's not use, fellas.
He's too frightened of Yoku and his gang to tell us anything.
It looks like we'll just have to check out this place on our own.
Mondo notion, dude.
I'll start in the kitchen.
[ALL CLANGING.]
[GRUNTING.]
MICHELANGELO: Uh-oh.
Michelangelo.
What did you do? I solved the mystery.
LEONARDO: The Black Heart Ninja Gang.
Let's take them.
Turtles fight with honor! RAPHAEL: Yeah, go, green machine! MICHELANGELO: Cowabunga! [.]
APRIL: Some people have a nose for news.
I have toes for news.
[YELLS, GRUNTS.]
These guys are too good.
We'll have to fight dirty.
Is there any other way? Let's see what this baby can do.
[TURTLES SCREAMING.]
Boy, talk about your last-minute turnarounds.
Excellent work, lads.
The bank president dude? You're the boss? The same.
I had the perfect cover using that stupid gang of thugs to bilk this city dry until you meddlesome turtles interfered.
Finish them off.
Say sayonara, you wimps.
Hiya! [ALL GRUNTING AND SHOUTING INDISTINCTLY.]
It's Yoku.
And he's helping us.
RAPHAEL: Will miracles never cease? I'll need your help, fellas.
I can't do this single-handed.
You got it, dude.
[.]
[ALL GRUNTING AND YELLING.]
I give up.
Whoa! [EXPLOSIONS.]
And so, thanks to the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Mr.
Crocker, the would-be crime tsar of the city, is now under wraps along with his notorious Black Heart Gang members.
So, uh, what gives, Yoku? I mean, first you're one of them and now you're one of us.
I'll explain later.
First I must speak to my grandfather.
Ah, too late, guy.
He's sailing to Japan even as we speak.
YOKU: You've gotta get me to the pier now.
Call the police.
They'll know what to do with those guys.
You're calling from the Gobi what? You heard me.
The Gobi Desert.
Those maps Yoku gave me are phonies.
You traded those priceless Dimension X weapons for a bunch of worthless maps? How did I ever get teamed up with an imbecile like you? Gee, I ain't used to hearing the boss get chewed out.
Uh, me neither.
Usually it's us.
There's only one thing to do.
Why, you-- You-- You imbecilic bug-brained idiots.
Look what you've done.
Yeah, that's more like it.
MOGO: Farewell, my student.
I wish my mission had ended more joyously.
But it is not meant to be.
As you yourself have taught me, Master, tragedy is a part of life.
YOKU: Grandfather, wait.
Yoku? I have something important to tell you.
My heart cannot take any more unhappy news.
Please forgive me for lying to you, but I couldn't risk the entire mission.
Mission? I'm a secret government agent.
My assignment was to infiltrate the Black Heart Gang and flush out their leader.
Yoku, my joy would be boundless except for one regret.
What regret is that, Grandfather? That I ordered Hamato Yoshi to destroy the sacred white ninja belt.
Are you referring to this sacred white ninja belt, Master Mogo-san? You didn't burn it? Deep in my heart, I knew that young Yoku was a man of honor.
But all that smoke? Sometimes Michelangelo's old socks serve a useful purpose.
I thought that smoke smelled familiar.

[DOOR OPENS.]
Master Yoshi? What are you doing here? I see there is still much to teach you, my student.
[YOKU GRUNTS.]
You're coming with us, Yogi.
That's Yoku, uh, and where are you taking me? You'll see.
Or should I say, you won't see? Good work, fellas.
You captured Yoku Mogo.
We sure did.
Where are you taking him? And what happened to Shredder? Sorry, April.
We can't talk about it.
But it's the biggest story of the year.
You've got to tell me.
No way, dudette.
Our turtle lips are sealed.
[TIRES SCREECH.]
I'm gonna find out what my good friends the turtles are up to.
LEONARDO: All right, Yoku.
We're here.
Good, then take off this stupid blindfold.
[CHUCKLES.]
Your wish is our command.
Grandfather.
What are you doing here? I came to pass on the sacred white belt of the Mogo clan.
But you have dishonored the family name.
Please, Grandfather.
Try to understand.
I have tried.
Hamato Yoshi, I order you to take this belt and burn it.
But this is a priceless heirloom.
Better it be consumed by flames than passed on to one who would disgrace it.
As you wish, sensei.
Now see what you've caused? Why don't you mind your own business? [ALL COUGHING.]
LEONARDO: I can't see.
[ALL CHOKING AND COUGHING.]
Hey, where'd he go? Come on, we gotta find him.
APRIL: Why are the turtles acting like this? They've never kept secrets from me before.
It's Yoku.
Well, if they won't tell me what they're up to, I'll just have to find out for myself.
SHREDDER: Yes, Krang.
Things are going splendidly.
Those maps will soon be ours.
KRANG: Well, step on it.
Ooh, I can hardly wait to get my hands on those nuclear installations.
If I had hands.
Patience, Krang.
Remember, all things come to he who waits.
SPLINTER: Well, did you find young Yoku? No, Master.
He made a clean getaway.
As if anything could be called "clean" in these sewers.
Man, it's punks like Yoku that really tick me off.
I mean, they've got everything going for them and boom, they blow it.
Raphael, you should not be so quick to judge others.
Human beings are like onions.
They have many layers.
And just like onions, they can make you cry.
[.]
APRIL: The leader of the ninja gang seems to be going over some sort of plan with the others.
If I can just get closer, I might hear what they're saying.
[BEEPS.]
Oh, no.
[BEEPING.]
April.
April, come in.
Not now.
April! What's wrong? Everything.
Spill it, sister.
Why were you snooping around, huh? Hey, she's April O'Neil, that TV reporter.
Well, I say we take her to the hideout and lock her up.
I got a better idea.
We can use her news van to get us into that government building.
Put her behind the wheel.
BOY: You are way smart, Yoku.
That's why the boss put me in charge.
Okay, sister, move it.
[CAR STARTS, TIRES SCREECH.]
[.]
THOMPSON: Where is April O'Neil? She's supposed to go on the air with that ninja gang story in exactly two minutes.
Don't worry, chief.
I'm taking over for her.
You? That's right.
You see, I know what she's been up to.
Up to? What? What? What? Tune in to my telecast and you'll hear the entire sleazy story.
DONATELLO: Let's check out April's news report.
Maybe she'll have some information on Yoku.
Good evening.
This is your intrepid reporter, Vernon Fenwick.
And have I got news for you.
ALL: Vernon? Where's April? Where is April O'Neil, you may be asking? This closed-circuit videotape will tell the whole story.
This is a top-security government building, and this is a gang of ninja hoodlums who have just broken in and stolen some high-level maps.
Hey, it's Yoku and the Black Heart Ninja Gang.
VERNON: Maps showing the location of every nuclear missile site in the country.
And most shocking of all, driving the getaway vehicle was none other than Channel 6's very own ex-news reporter, April O'Neil.
Yoku has April.
We've gotta help her.
[.]
It is too painful for me to remain here, my student.
I wish to return to my homeland on the next ship.
As you wish, sensei.
Here are the maps, just as we arranged.
No, Yoku.
Butt out, lady.
And as promised, the Dimension X armaments.
Use them in good health.
Pretty wicked.
The boss is gonna love these.
[CHUCKLES.]
And Krang will love these.
[CACKLING.]
LEONARDO: For the last time, mister, where is Yoku Mogo's hideout? I-- I-- I don't know any Yoku.
I-- I run an honest business.
[SIGHS.]
It's not use, fellas.
He's too frightened of Yoku and his gang to tell us anything.
It looks like we'll just have to check out this place on our own.
Mondo notion, dude.
I'll start in the kitchen.
[ALL CLANGING.]
[GRUNTING.]
MICHELANGELO: Uh-oh.
Michelangelo.
What did you do? I solved the mystery.
LEONARDO: The Black Heart Ninja Gang.
Let's take them.
Turtles fight with honor! RAPHAEL: Yeah, go, green machine! MICHELANGELO: Cowabunga! [.]
APRIL: Some people have a nose for news.
I have toes for news.
[YELLS, GRUNTS.]
These guys are too good.
We'll have to fight dirty.
Is there any other way? Let's see what this baby can do.
[TURTLES SCREAMING.]
Boy, talk about your last-minute turnarounds.
Excellent work, lads.
The bank president dude? You're the boss? The same.
I had the perfect cover using that stupid gang of thugs to bilk this city dry until you meddlesome turtles interfered.
Finish them off.
Say sayonara, you wimps.
Hiya! [ALL GRUNTING AND SHOUTING INDISTINCTLY.]
It's Yoku.
And he's helping us.
RAPHAEL: Will miracles never cease? I'll need your help, fellas.
I can't do this single-handed.
You got it, dude.
[.]
[ALL GRUNTING AND YELLING.]
I give up.
Whoa! [EXPLOSIONS.]
And so, thanks to the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Mr.
Crocker, the would-be crime tsar of the city, is now under wraps along with his notorious Black Heart Gang members.
So, uh, what gives, Yoku? I mean, first you're one of them and now you're one of us.
I'll explain later.
First I must speak to my grandfather.
Ah, too late, guy.
He's sailing to Japan even as we speak.
YOKU: You've gotta get me to the pier now.
Call the police.
They'll know what to do with those guys.
You're calling from the Gobi what? You heard me.
The Gobi Desert.
Those maps Yoku gave me are phonies.
You traded those priceless Dimension X weapons for a bunch of worthless maps? How did I ever get teamed up with an imbecile like you? Gee, I ain't used to hearing the boss get chewed out.
Uh, me neither.
Usually it's us.
There's only one thing to do.
Why, you-- You-- You imbecilic bug-brained idiots.
Look what you've done.
Yeah, that's more like it.
MOGO: Farewell, my student.
I wish my mission had ended more joyously.
But it is not meant to be.
As you yourself have taught me, Master, tragedy is a part of life.
YOKU: Grandfather, wait.
Yoku? I have something important to tell you.
My heart cannot take any more unhappy news.
Please forgive me for lying to you, but I couldn't risk the entire mission.
Mission? I'm a secret government agent.
My assignment was to infiltrate the Black Heart Gang and flush out their leader.
Yoku, my joy would be boundless except for one regret.
What regret is that, Grandfather? That I ordered Hamato Yoshi to destroy the sacred white ninja belt.
Are you referring to this sacred white ninja belt, Master Mogo-san? You didn't burn it? Deep in my heart, I knew that young Yoku was a man of honor.
But all that smoke? Sometimes Michelangelo's old socks serve a useful purpose.
I thought that smoke smelled familiar.
