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! Dad!

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, sh*t!

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?
