[CROWD CHATTERING.]
And to what do you attribute the recent decline in the city's crime rate, commissioner? I think that's simple, April.
Me.
Him? Oh, gag me.
Ever since I became the city's crime commissioner, I've waged an aggressive war on crime and corruption.
Oh? And what have we been doing? Sitting on our tails? Thank you for your comments, commissioner.
Whoa, talk about a major glory hog.
Hey, listen, the crime rate's dropped because we've been running our shells ragged fighting creeps like Leatherhead and the Rat King.
I'd like to see the cops take on those weirdos.
Ha! Raphael, doing the right thing is its own reward.
Yeah, but look how they treat us, Master Splinter.
You may soon find out that you need the humans more than you think.
[TURTLECOM BEEPS.]
APRIL: Guys, it's April.
There's been a break-in at the City Hall of Records.
We're on our way.
Well, are you with us or not? Yeah, I'm with you.
But I'm bitter.
Come on, dudes.
Let's beat feet.
[.]
Whoa, it looks like there's been uninvited company all right.
[.]
Sorry, boys.
The office is closed.
The turtles.
Destroy them.
[GRUNTING.]
You stinking turtles.
Unh! Ooh, I hate it when they do that.
What do you say we talk about it out in the street? [BEBOP & ROCKSTEADY GRUNT.]
What on earth? Let's get out of here.
MAN: Get out of the way.
SHREDDER: You wretched reptiles.
This time you've pushed me too far.
Really? I think we can push you a lot farther.
[SHREDDER GRUNTS.]
[GROANS.]
What the blazes? [ALL LAUGHING.]
Whoa.
I'd say we whipped the tar out of him, dudes.
[.]
You morons.
Look what you've done to me.
Gee, boss.
It was an accident.
Never mind that.
We've got to get out of here.
[.]
Well, we'll never catch 'em now.
[SIREN WAILING.]
[.]
Yeah, and the humans will probably take all the credit for foiling the break-in.
[SIREN WAILING.]
SHREDDER: This is the final straw.
Those miserable turtles have humiliated me for the last time.
Oh, forget it.
We have all the information we need from the Hall of Records.
No, I won't forget it.
Those accursed shell-backs must suffer.
I want vengeance, no matter what it takes.
Oh, boy.
Can we help, huh? There's only one way you morons can help me.
And that's by staying out of my way.
[.]
BOTH: Oof! You bumbling idiots have failed me for the last time.
Uh, gee.
Does this mean we're canned? The last time Chrome Dome met the turtles, he nearly defeated them.
This time he shall not fail.
What are your orders? Wait here while I recruit more minions from Dimension X.
I don't get it.
What in the world would Shredder and Krang want from the Hall of Records? There's absolutely nothing of value there.
Hey, dudes.
Maybe we should check with April.
Yeah, she's always good for a clue when we get stuck like this.
Where have you been? In Dimension X, recruiting new minions to replace those two pinheads.
There's no time for that.
I found it.
We must take the Foot Soldiers to the sewers and start excavating immediately.
Perfect.
The sewers is where I plan to find the rest of my force.
And with all the riches you expect to get from this operation, I'll be able to entice my rogues to do away with the turtles once and for all.
Well, at least maybe they can keep the turtles out of our faces while we complete the excavation.
Krang, you have no faith.
[.]
Oh, boy.
The boss sure is mad.
Yeah.
I'm getting scared.
We may be stuck down here the rest of our lives.
Or at least the rest of this episode.
APRIL: Okay, guys.
I'm tapped into the Hall of Records computer.
Hm.
According to this, what's missing is a section of the original plans for the city sewers.
From 1895.
Well, that clears everything up.
Why on earth would Krang and Shredder be interested in what the sewers looked like 100 years ago? I don't know, but we better find out.
KRANG: According to the notes on the map, the builders couldn't sink any pillars here because their drills always broke.
They hit something hard, something huge.
Something that's going to make us the richest, most powerful creatures in the galaxy.
Keep the Foot Soldiers working, Krang.
I'm going to finish my recruiting, and destroy those turtles once and for all.
[LAUGHING.]
DONATELLO: We've entered the area covered by the missing piece of the map.
MICHELANGELO: What are we gonna do? You aren't going to do anything.
Shredder? You turtles have humiliated me for the last time.
Really? Are you leaving the show? On the contrary.
It's you who will be departing us.
I'd like you to meet some old friends.
You remember the Rat King.
And Slash, the evil turtle from Dimension X.
And you couldn't forget your old pal Leatherhead.
Or me, Tempestra.
And old Scumbug's itching for a piece of you turtles too.
SHREDDER: Not to mention Antrax, Krang's royal executioner from Dimension X.
Off with their shells.
SHREDDER: And my super-robot Chrome Dome to complete the greatest rogues gallery the world has ever seen.
I don't believe it.
Dudes, it looks like our past has come back to haunt us.
I don't believe this.
SHREDDER: I'll make you rogues rich beyond your wildest dreams.
And in return, you must do just one thing: Terminate the turtles! With pleasure.
LEATHERHEAD: Come on, let's grab 'em.
[.]
Guys, we're in deep trouble.
Hey, we can beat 'em.
[.]
[GRUNTS.]
[ALL GRUNTING.]
[YELPS.]
Okay, so maybe my calculations were a little off.
We've gotta split up and take them on individually.
Couldn't we just see if we have some vacation time coming? [.]
They're splitting up.
Stop them! Don't you know you can't hide from a roach? [BOTH GRUNTING.]
I never met a roach I couldn't stomp.
[YELLS.]
You gonna love my hot sauce.
Cajun-style.
MICHELANGELO: Cowab-- Oof! TEMPESTRA: Foul creatures.
You are doomed.
Whoa, that chick sure is packing an attitude.
Oh, no.
Oh, no! Dudes, this is not working.
You're right, so I say we go back to my original plan.
Which is? RAPHAEL: Run away! Destroy the unworthy reptiles.
[.]
There's only one way out of this.
[ALL YELLING.]
MICHELANGELO: Cowabunga! We must follow them.
No, there are a thousand ways they could go.
We'll never find them.
He's right, I guarantee.
Then we will have to draw them out of the sewers.
By tearing up the city! [.]
CHROME DOME: Stock exchange is vital to city.
Destroying it would do maximum damage.
No, wait.
Let's wreck those statues first.
I hate fine art.
Off with his head.
[SNIFFS.]
I smell pizza.
Turtles love pizza, you know.
MAN: Ye Olde Pizza Shop was the first restaurant ever built in the city over 400 years ago.
It gives me great pleasure to proclaim this building a historic landmark.
And to say to all of you-- Run for your lives! [CROWD SHOUTING.]
He said this building was a landmark.
That means it must be valuable.
Oh, boy.
Let's steal it.
[PLAYING EERIE MELODY.]
[ALL SQUEAKING.]
Come, my beauties.
Yes, that's it.
Eat away at the building's foundation.
[.]
MAN 1: What's going on here? MAN 2: I don't know.
WOMAN: What--? [.]
[ALL SCREAMING.]
Oh, I don't believe it.
We're going to have to cancel the news on account of the weather.
Ugh, I don't know about you, but I'm getting out of here.
You know, you remind me of a pair of shoes I once had.
Just for that, Leatherhead gonna make you his pet, by gumbo.
Here, human.
Nice human.
[CHUCKLES.]
[WHIMPERING.]
Whoa, that's what I call a radical ride.
Well, at least we got away from those wackos.
[TURTLECOM BEEPS.]
APRIL: Guys, it's April.
We've got trouble at Channel 6.
What sort of trouble? Tempestra-Scumbug-Leatherhead trouble.
Whoa, that's the worst kind.
Yeah, Chrome Dome and Antrax are tearing up the stock exchange.
And Slash and the Rat King are attacking the old pizza parlor downtown.
You know, we turn our back for one minute Thanks, April.
We'll stop those creeps.
Hey, wait a minute.
I hate to sound like a cliché.
But that's exactly what they're expecting us to do.
Hey, he's right.
They're probably doing all this to draw us out of the sewers.
So why not let the humans handle it for a change? Because our friends are in danger.
Yeah, we're supposed to be heroes, dude.
Gluttons for punishment is more like it.
SHREDDER: How much longer is this going to take, Krang? KRANG: We've found it.
In a few minutes it'll be completely uncovered.
This is the smoothest operation I ever pulled.
Because Bebop and Rocksteady aren't around to botch things up.
Aw, the boss has never kept us locked up this long.
He must really be mad.
Unless he's in some kind of trouble.
We gotta find some way out of here.
He could be in horrible danger.
[.]
Talk about a stock market crash.
Now to liquidate you, turtle.
[GRUNTS.]
Turtle apprehended.
Whoa, pizzeria snatching.
The foulest crime of all.
Put down that pizza parlor! Sure thing.
Ungh! [GRUNTS.]
Oh, for once in my life I think I'll pass on the pizza.
[.]
This'll get rid of you.
We'd be more than happy to take the stairs.
All right, roach breath, leave him alone! Fine, I'll bug you instead.
I hope this blows you away.
[BOTH YELLING.]
Ooh, boy.
We gonna have us some fine turtle gumbo tonight.
[.]
SCUMBUG: Let's hurry up.
This place give me the willies.
What's that? CHROME DOME: It is a disintegrator, capable of vaporizing this entire building.
Master Shredder gave it to me for the express purpose of destroying the turtles.
Ah, think of it, Scumbug.
The turtles and the city's biggest insect destroyer wiped out in a single stroke.
Yeah, this is gonna be a great day.
Unless you happen to be a turtle.
[.]
Guys, come in.
It's April.
[STATIC CRACKLES.]
Splinter, what are you doing here? My sixth sense told me the turtles were in trouble.
I'll say.
We just saw Raphael and Donatello get kidnapped.
And I can't reach Michelangelo or Leonardo on the Turtlecom.
I think they've been captured too.
And the city's crawling with bad guys.
Then we must get help.
But who? Do you have any way of reaching Casey Jones? Yeah, I've got his phone number, but-- Call him at once.
And give me your Turtlecom.
I'll contact our young friend Zach.
Okay.
But I don't think those two are going to be much help.
They're the only hope we have.
I sense that the turtles are in the greatest peril of their entire lives.
Ugh.
More bad news, guy.
Uh, these walls are solid metal.
And a fairly heavy alloy at that.
So, what does that mean? DONATELLO: Well, it means that the homing beacons from our Turtlecoms probably aren't getting out of this room.
Which means that nobody's gonna be able to find us with the Porta-Tracker.
Not that anyone would try.
KRANG: The starship of the legendary space pirate, Captain Logos.
It crashed here a thousand years before the city was even built.
And there it is.
Captain Logos' treasure.
Riches beyond imagining.
Plundered from every corner of the galaxy.
We must order the Foot Soldiers to dismantle it and start carrying it to the surface.
That would take too long.
Besides, I have a better plan.
We'll use my tractor beam to lift the entire ship to the surface.
APRIL: Thanks for coming on such short notice, guys.
Hey, I'd do anything for those turtle dudes.
All I wanna know is, when do I get to break something? I don't understand it.
I'm not getting any readings on the turtles' location from this device.
ZACH: Then we'll just have to scope 'em out for ourselves.
Come on.
Nice human.
Heh-heh-heh! I think I'll call him Old Blue, by gumbo.
You're sick, Leatherhead.
Heh-heh-heh-heh! You know that? Couldn't you just put me in a kennel for a while? When we insects rule, all humans will be our pets.
Insects? It's we rats who will rule.
You aren't even a rat.
You're a human.
How dare you insult me like that.
Quiet, all of you.
We must return to Shredder and collect our reward.
There they go.
We'll have to capture one of them and force him to reveal the location of the turtles.
Low on power.
Must recharge.
TEMPESTRA: Let him go.
He has no use for money anyway.
[.]
We must go after that robot.
[MACHINERY WHIRRING.]
[CASEY GRUNTS.]
[GRUNTING.]
[CASEY YELLS.]
Terminate friends of turtles.
You lousy bag of bolts.
You leave Master Splinter alone.
[ZACH SCREAMS.]
I can see I'm gonna have to get tough with you.
No, wait, Casey.
I have a plan.
When I give the word, hit that button.
I'm over here.
Now, Casey! [GRUNTS.]
APRIL: Great! Oh, but now he can't tell us where the turtles are.
Don't be so sure.
Okay.
"Where are the turtles? "Location: Bug Zapper building.
Time to turtle termination: six minutes, 21 seconds!" Let's go! Hurry.
For all we know, the boss could really need us.
ROCKSTEADY: He's bound to be in trouble without our invaluable services.
[ROCKSTEADY GRUNTS.]
To the rescue! All right, Shredder.
We took care of the turtles.
Now where's our loot? It's coming right now.
[.]
No, wait, Casey.
It's not good.
What about that air grate? No, it's too small.
Not for me it isn't.
Come on, somebody give me a boost.
[POUNDING.]
What do you suppose it is? Maybe someone's trying to rescue us.
Oh, right.
Like the humans would ever do anything for us.
Hang on, guys.
Zach! Whoa, are we ever glad to see you, little dude.
Thank heavens you're free.
But we still gotta get rid of that disintegrator.
And there's less than a minute left.
I know just how to do it.
SHREDDER: There's your reward.
The legendary treasure of the dread pirate Logos.
I'll share it with all of you.
We're rich.
Rich.
Now we don't have to conquer the city.
We can buy it.
LEONARDO: I wouldn't make that down payment if I were you.
[.]
The disintegrator.
No! My treasure.
My riches.
Our treasure.
Our riches.
We did a lot of work for you, Shredder.
And you still owe us.
If you'd destroyed the turtles, we'd still have the treasure.
KRANG: It's your fault.
We've got to get out of here.
But how? Boss, thank goodness we're here in time.
They're getting away.
Yeah, but you creepazoids won't.
Try and stop us.
[.]
You can't beat all of us.
It's not worth it.
We're not getting paid for this.
Let's go.
[.]
RAPHAEL: Oh, well, that's just great.
How do we follow 'em now? Simple.
We can't.
Besides, you know the bad guys always get away in the end.
And perhaps now you'll see that you need humans as much as they need you, Raphael.
Oh, you bet, Master Splinter.
I take back every rotten thing I said about 'em.
Human beings are aces in my book.
Oh, there you are.
How could you leave me like that? Being dragged around by that awful, ugh, crocodile? You always rescue April, but you never rescue me.
Of course, there are some humans I could do without.
Relax, dude.
Any resemblance between Vernon and a real human being is strictly coincidence.
