whoa!

Whoa!

[GRUNTS]

Unh! Hey,
easy on the shell, bud.

I just had it waxed.

[PANTING] Almost there.

Whoa!

Unh! Whoooaaa!

Well, master, how'd I do?




Not your best time,
Michelangelo.

Come on!
It's not my fault.

Donatello put some new traps
in the tunnel.

Of course. I got to keep
you guys on your toes.

Your turn, Raphael.

Remember the importance
of energy and concentration.

It's hard to get
too worked up

over a stupid obstacle
course, you know?

Well, just do what I do--

pretend there's a pizza
waiting at the finish line.

I'll give you a better
incentive--shredder.

Leonardo is right.

All indications are that
he's preparing to return

with the technodrome.

KRANG: What is it
this time, shredder?

I have a new plan, krang,

but I'll need a canister of
the mutagen to implement it.

That chemical
is very rare.

Why should I waste
more of it on you?

I wish to create more mutants
to use against the turtles.

[SNORTS]
That'll be nice.

Someone new
to talk to.

Yeah, our own kind.

Hmm. For once
you've come up

with a halfway
decent plan.

There's one problem,
though.

We're presently
experiencing an ion storm.

It may interfere
with the portal.

We must risk it!

Prepare to receive
the mutagen canister.

And, turtles,
wherever you are,

prepare to meet your end!

Oh, we could've
gone to Hawaii,

but, no, you said
Florida was cheaper.

Look what I found.
Can I keep them, mom, huh?

[RIBBITING]

Oh! Put those disgusting
things down!

You don't know where
they've been!

Sure I do.
In the swamp.

You heard me now. Put
them back this instant!

Aww, mom!

So long, fellas.

We could have had
a great life together.

Let's go
to a hotel.

This place is crawling
with creatures.

They're only frogs.

They're not the creatures
from the maroon lagoon.

Aah!

Oh, wow! Neat-o!

The canister is where?

A section of earth
known as Florida--

the okefenokee swamp.

I told you the ion storm
may interfere with the portal.

I'm going to Florida
to find the mutagen.

Ooh, great!

I'll go pack
my surfboard.

Not you,
you mutant moron.

I'm going by myself.

Dressed like that?

This holographic
projector

will take care
of everything.

Ooh, wow.
Me next, boss.

No, stupid.
You two will stay

and keep the turtles
occupied

while I'm gone.
Understood?

Uh, you bet. It'll
be a pleasure.

Come on, April,
admit it.

You do know
the turtles.

Ha!
You found me out, Irma.

I do know them.
Now are you happy?

Well, why should
I be happy?

You're the one
who knows them.

I don't believe it!

What?

Uh, nothing.
I've got to go now.

My--my car's
double-parked.

Wait! You don't
have a car.

I thought you guys would
like to know about this.

"Froglike monsters
seen in Florida swamp."

Hey! I wonder if they
might be mutants like us.

Hmm. Perhaps
we should investigate.

You mean go to Florida? Far out!

The surfing there is
totally tubuloso!

I think now might be a bad time.
Look at this!

REPORTER: And I repeat-- two delinquents
are on a rampage in Times Square.

One wears a rhinoceros mask,
the other, a wart hog mask.

It's rock-steady
and bebop!

I wonder why
the temper tantrum.

Beats me. Ha!
Maybe they passed a mirror

and saw what
they look like, huh?

Let's go, turtles!

Wait for me!

I'm not missing
this story!

According to
krang's coordinates,

the canister landed
right around here.

A-ha! Here it is!

Blast! It's empty.



So this is
my army of mutants?

The mutagen should have given
you the ability to speak.

Who are you?

My name is shredder,

and I love
all living things.

Gee, you sound like
a nice person.

Ha ha! Oh, I am.

And if you
come with me,

I'll show you wonders
you've never dreamed of.

Sounds good to us.

Splendid!

Hold still.
This won't hurt a bit.

Oh, boy! Clothes!

He's telling the truth.
He is a nice person.

Now come. We have a
great battle to fight--

against the evil
mutant turtles.

Ooh, wow. Now,
this is what I call fun.

Heh heh heh.

And it's about to
turn into more fun.

All right! Grrr!

It's turtle
trashing time!

Remember, the bigger they are,
the harder they fall.

Ready or not,
here I come!

Ow...Ooh!

[LAUGHING]

Huh. So much for
a frontal as*ault.

Turtles,
fight with honor.

Come on! I'll make
turtle soup out of youse.

[BEEP]

Excuse me. Yeah, boss?

Come back to the
hideout, both of you.

I have what
I was looking for.

Aw, boss, we was just
getting warmed up.

Now, you cretin!
[BEEP]

Oh, playtime's over.
The boss wants us.

After them, turt--
whoa!

Unh!

Ohh. We'll never
catch them now.

I get the feeling that all of
this was just to distract us--

but from what?

Don't worry, Leonardo.
I'm sure we'll find out.

Whether we want to
or not.

Uh, you wanted
to see us, boss?

Yes. I'd like you
to meet your new allies

in our battle
against the turtles.

These frogs
have sworn to aid me

in the destruction
of our enemies.

Frogs?
Frogs?

As splinter has done
with the turtles,

I have named them after
personal heroes of my own.

Attila the frog.

Genghis frog.

Rasputin,
the mad frog.

And Napoleon bonafrog.

Uh, boss, the turtles
are trained ninjas.

They'll mop up the floor
with these wimps.

[CHUCKLES] Not to worry.

I, the greatest martial
arts warrior of them all,

have personally
trained them.

Show him, Napoleon.

Whatever you say,
master.

Aah!

Whoa!

Oh. They might
work out at that.

Well, my turtles,

has there been any sign of
activity from shredder?

Nada. Zilch.
Meganegatory.

In other words,
nothing.

Hmm. This silence
is most strange.

Quick, guys,
turn on the news!

What's up, April?

You'll see.
And it's not good!

This midtown bank was just
robbed by four creatures

which employees described
as big green things

like giant turtles.

Turtles?

Chill out, man.
I want to hear this.

What are your comments,
Mr. mayor?

These turtles have terrorized
the city long enough.

I'm ordering a special antiturtle
squad to deal with this.

Captain Hoffman here
will be in charge.

Don't worry, Mr. mayor. We'll
apprehend these criminals.

You have my word on it.

Whoa, dudes!
We're being framed!

I suspect that shredder
is somehow behind this.

And I suspect you're
right, master.

Guys, we've gotta find
those mock turtles

and give them what for.

Splendid work, frogs.

This first test of your
skills has gone swimmingly.

Well, sir, swimming's
what we do best.

Are we ready to take over
the whole city now?

Not quite.
We'll need more help.

What now, shredder?

Most of the mutagen was lost
when the canister fell.

I'll need more if I'm to
create my army of mutants.

Unfortunately, what I sent
you was the last of it.

But I can tell you
how to make more.

Now, pay attention.

So, like, well, how do
we find these dudes?

If we go to the scene of the
crime, maybe we'll find a clue.

All right, turtles,
freeze in your tracks!

Uh-oh! Time to do
the turtle trot!

Hasta lumbago,
dudes!

Master shredder says we have to steal
a list of chemicals from here.

Isn't stealing bad?

I think so, but master
shredder knows best.

Being a mutant
sure is confusing.

[BEEP]
Leonardo here.

APRIL: We just got
another bulletin, guys.

Those unknown mutants
have broken into

the mallory
chemical plant.

Huh. What could
they want there?

Maybe shredder's looking for a
new metal Polish for his face.

Let's go. This is
the fastest way there.

Dexonine and flouchist.

Ok. We got what
we came for.

And you're gonna get more
than you bargained for!

Huh?

All right! Let's see what
you creepolas look like!

Aah!
Aah!

Hold them off,
Rasputin!

Aah!
Aah!

Whoa, that was
some bright move!

Come on. We can't
let them get away!

Total bummer.
They got away.

I'm insulted. How
could anyone mistake

those things
for turtles?

We've got
more serious problems.

Those chemicals they stole are
components of the mutagen

that shredder used to create
rock-steady and bebop.

Well, that means that now
shredder can make more mutants.

Not yet.
He still needs

another chemical called
nyotrinaline to make it work.

It's extremely rare.

[BEEP]

April here.

We need you
to check the database

and find out where a supply
of nyotrinaline is available.

Hang on a sec.

Ok, I've got it.

A shipment of the stuff is
arriving by armored truck

the argus chemical
supply warehouse.

Great.
Thanks, April.

Was that the turtles
you were talking to?

Talking to turtles?

Irma, you've been
working too hard.

You ought to take
a vacation.

Right. In a nice,
cool sewer.

April, the mayor's just ordered
out a new antiturtle squad.

I want you to cover this.

I'm on my way, bern.

More turtles?
Can I come?

No!
No!

Just asking.

All right, now mix the
two chemicals carefully.

Splendid.

Now all it needs is
a pinch of nyotrinaline.

Nyotrinaline? You
didn't mention that.

I thought I'd save it
for a surprise

to keep you
on your toes.

Krang, you are
unspeakably cruel.

Thank you.
You'll find a shipment

arriving at the argus
chemical supply warehouse.

You heard him.
Get that nyotrinaline now!

But, master shredder, what if
we run into the turtles again?

Must I tell you
everything?

Destroy them!
They are evil!

But what if
we talk to them?

You know,
reason with them?

Trust me,
my innocent little frogs.

Heh heh.
Would this face lie?

Now get me that chemical!

This is the antiturtle
attack squad.

Captain Hoffman,
just how do you intend

to find
these mutant turtles?

This tracking device is
tuned to their biorhythms.

We'll find them
no matter where they hide!

Good luck, captain.

[CHUCKLES]
You'll need it.

We're very close.
Turn right here!

There's the nyotrinaline
shipment.

Are you sure the frogs
will try for it?

No doubt about it.

Shredder can't formulate
the mutagen without it.

What in blazes?

Looks like you were
right, donatello.

Check it out.

Here we go!
Cowabunga!

Uh-oh.
We got company.

Give up, you guys,

or it'll be sauteed
frog legs for everybody.

HOFFMAN:
All of you give up! Now!

ATTILA:
What's that thing?

GENGHIS: Don't ask me!
I'm from out of town!

Aah!
Aah!

Hey, that thing just put
those frogs on ice.

Yeah, and it looks
like we're next!

Don't look now, dudes,

but we're about to be
flash-frozen!

Not if I can help it!

Look out!

HOFFMAN:
The hatch is jammed!

Help me get
this blasted thing open!

Time to make
turtle tracks.

Really!
Let's haul shell, dudes.

Hold on, fellas.

We can't leave
the frogs like that.

Maybe you haven't been keeping
up on current events, Leonardo.

They aren't exactly
on our side.

Even so, they are
mutants, just like us.

We can't let that Hoffman
guy capture them.

Leonardo's right.
We got to save them.

Right!
And at warp speed.

Stop them!

Thanks!
We needed that.

You escaped this time,
but I'll get you yet!

So that's the story,
master splinter.

Yeah. At least we kept them
from getting the nyotrinaline.

But what do we do
with these frogs?

We can't keep them
frozen forever.

If we wish
to win them over,

we must show them
trust.

As always,
you are right.

We'll melt the ice
and set them free.

But what if
they attack us again?

We'll just have to
take that chance.

What's going on?

Yeah!
Where are we?

You're in the sewers,
and this is our home.

Yeah. Welcome
to turtle turf.

Uh-oh! I fear
we've been captured.

Yeah! Well, at least
we'll go down fighting.

Stop, everyone!

There will be
no violence.

Turtles,
lay down your weapons.

You are free to go,
fellow mutants.

I'm so confused.

Why, master shredder said
you and the turtles were evil.

I suggest you trust
your animal instincts.

We trusted shredder.

But now we can see that
he's just using us.

Then maybe it's time
you started using him.

I have a plan.
Listen...

We're real sorry,
master shredder.

The turtles got
the nyotrinaline shipment.

You mutant maggots!

When I think of all
I've done for you--

brought you
out of the swamps,

taught you
all you know!

Oh, but all is not lost,
master!

You see, we heard
the turtles talking.

Yeah! They're gonna
hide the chemical!

In stonewall prison--
where you can't get it.

Ooh, ooh!
Stonewall prison.

I remember that joint.
I did time there once.

Yeah, me, too.

But it's been
closed for years.

Better still.

Then let's get there
immediately.

This old place sure
brings back memories.

Never mind that, you fool.
Just find that chemical.

I hope those frogs didn't
decide to double-cross us.

If we want them to trust us,

we have to trust them.

Well, here it comes--
the moment of truth.

They hid the chemicals
in here, master shredder.

Excellent!
You've done well, frogs.

Raaah!

Greetings, shredhead!

You traitorous frogs!
You set me up!

That's right, tinface!

And now you're
taking the fall.

Now, where'd I learn
to say stuff like that?

[HELICOPTER]
Huh?

They're in here all right.

Let's go, men!

It's the antiturtle squad.

Ha ha ha!
Farewell, shellbacks!

They may get us,
but they'll also get you!

Not if we look
like one of them.

Sayonara,
you mutated meddlers.

Uh-oh. Time to make
ourselves real scarce.

Does that mean run?

You frogs
catch on real fast.

There they go!
Open fire!

We got to find the sewer lines
that connect to the prison.

This mutant gas
will stop them.

[ALL COUGHING]

Ooh, what is that?

Some kind
of knockout gas.

The prison
laundry room!

There's got to be
a sewer under here!

Ooh, can't keep
my eyes open.

Gas...Putting
me to sleep.

Hang on, all of you.

Rasputin, use one of
your expl*sive arrows.

Blast! The mayor's not
going to like this.

Ok, everything clear?

Now, you'll follow
the sewers to the caves,

then to the old
underground railroad

which leads straight
to the okefenokee.

Oh, it'll be good
to get home.

Life's so much better
in the swamp.

Thanks for coming
over to our side.

Hey, thanks for showing us
which one was the right side.

Oh, hey, wait a sec, dudes!
I almost forgot.

This ought to tide
you guys over

till you get back
to bug city.

Pizza! Yuck!
Thanks, but no thanks.

Yuck! We hate pizza!

Would you believe it?
They don't like pizza.

Yeah. Some mutants are just
plain weird, you know?
