this time I have it,
krang,

a scheme that will
finally rid us

of those blasted turtles
once and for all.

Yeah. Right.

And just how do you
propose doing this?

Simple. The police
are understaffed.

Even now they are working on a plan
to build a robot police force.

And what has that
to do with you?

I will steal the robot,

program it to obey only me,

then create an army of clones with
which to destroy the turtles.

All right. But
remember, if you fail,

you shall spend the rest of
your miserable existence

with these
two dolts.

Yeah. Heh heh.
With us.

Have no fear.
I will not fail.

Cheer up, Irma.

There are thousands of
nice guys in the city.

Oh, yeah? So how come
I can't meet one?

You will, Irma.
Just be patient.

Hey, baby.

What's shaking,
sweet thing?

April, you were right.

My patience
finally paid off.

Forget it, Irma.

Just
keep waiting.

That's strange.

The door
was unlocked.

No wonder.
I'm being robbed!

Hiya, ladies.

You drop that couch
this instant.

Good idea, doll.

Saves me
taking the stairs.

Stop that! You can't
take my things.

Oh!

Ooh, the nerve
of those creeps!

They wouldn't get away
with this

if the turtles were here.

Most people would want
the boys in blue.

She wants the boys
in green.

Steady, donatello.

Do not lose
your concentration.

I'm trying,
splinter.

Hold steady, dudes.

It's just about
screwed in.

Wha--hang on!

I hope we're not being
graded on this.

All things in life
are subject to examination,

my young friends.

[COMMUNICATOR BEEPS]
Come in, guys.

It's an emergency.

What's wrong, April?

My apartment has just
been burglarized.

They took everything.

What a bummer,
man.

Hold on, April.
We'll be right there.

Turtles.

What about the light bulb?

Oh, yeah. Right.

Hey, dynamite catch.

Oh! I am so angry, Irma.

This city is overrun
with thieves and hoodlums.

Gosh, April,
don't just bite it.

Fight it.

What do you mean?

Well, do a story on it
for channel 6 news.

Irma, you're right.
I will.

Who are you calling?

My contact at police
headquarters.

He owes me one.

Ok, fellas.

Keep your eyes
open now.

Oh, wow, dudes.

Scope that out.

That's the same van
April described.

Step right up, guys,
for some really hot buys.

Yeah, you want to buy this TV
that we just picked up?

It's a real steal.

Heh heh heh!
Heh heh heh!

Hey, I recognize that.
It's April's.

In fact,
all of this stuff's

been stolen from
April's apartment.

Ok, bozos,
hand it over.

I guess these clowns are
looking for trouble, huh?

Ok, wimps.
Let's rumble.

Ready for a little
workout, guys?

Radical notion, dude.

Turtle costumes?

Oh, that's real scary,
ain't it?

Oh, yeah. Real scary.

Hey, it worked before.

Why not a second time?



Lift!

Things are
looking up.

Yeah. Now that is scary.

You see, there are ways of settling
disputes without violence.

Ah! I'm glad it worked.

Couldn't hold this thing
up another 10 minutes.

Ok, I've got the address.
Thanks.

[KNOCK ON DOOR]

Special delivery
for April O'Neill.

Here, April. We brought
all your things back

exactly as promised.

But they're
all ruined!

Don't sweat it.

I have them fixed
in one minute.

Uh, better make that
a few minutes.

Listen, guys,
I've got to run.

I'm onto
an important story,

but I do appreciate
all your help.

This is the place.

My contact said
they're building

a secret experimental
robot cop here.

That could be the answer to this
whole crime in the streets problem.

[GASPS]
Someone's coming.

Ooh, this place is right
out of a monster movie

complete
with frankenstein.

I sure hope not.

"Rex-1"?

A robot cop.

This must be the gadget
that controls it.

It works.

What a scoop
this will be.

I am Rex-1.

I am programmed to
serve and protect you.

Uh, nice to meet you.
I'm April.

Now say cheese.

Cheese does not
compute.

I would rather ingest
an oil shake.

[GASPS]
The security guards.

Are you in danger?

Just stay still
and hold your tongue.

Whatever you say.

All right,
who's in there?

[CLATTER]

Don't move.
You're under arrest.

But I'm April O'Neill,
channel 6 news.

Save it for
the police, lady.

[GASPS]

The police are
already here.

You're charged with
disturbing the peace...

Put us down,
you hunk of tin.

Resisting arrest...

You ain't never gettin'
away with this!

...and using
a double negative.

I'd better
get out of here.

They'll be coming to
any minute.

It was nice
meeting you, Rex.

Wait, sir. You forgot
an important item.

I was lucky to get out
of there with my skin.

Hello.

You! Why did you
follow me?

You are my controller.

I serve and protect
only you.

That's sweet of you, Rex,
but I'd rather not.

Now, if you don't mind,
I'm going home.

Yes, sir.
Home immediately.

Whoa! You don't have
to carry me.

I can walk, honest.

Heel. Sit.
Down, boy.

Soon, I shall be able to tap
into the city's computers.

And when I do, victory
will be mine. Ha ha!

Ooh! Ooh ooh!

Can I press some of
the buttons? Can I?

Oh, please! Oh, please!

Pretty please, can I?

Will you two imbecilic
buffoons stop pestering me!

This
is delicate work.

He called us imbecilic buffoons.

Yeah. And you thought
he didn't like us.

Here, sir.

What's that?

Your dinner.
You must ingest

your daily intake
of fuel.

Mmm.
This is very good.

I have been programmed
to cook as well as to fight.

Yoo-hoo, April!
I just wanted--

oh...Oh,
I am so sorry.

I didn't realize
you had company.

Quite a hunk.

Forget it, Irma.
He's not human.

Open up, miss O'Neill.

We know you and
that robot are in there.

It's those security
guards, they've found me.

Yeah, we're gonna
count to 3 here,

and then we break
down the door.



...2 1/2, 3!

Ok, this is it.
Your last chance.

I will answer
the door.

No, no. Don't open
that door.

Very well. I will
make a new one.

Never mind.

IRMA: Aw!
It sure is nice

to have a man
around the house.

Oh, I'm sorry, Rex,

but you'll just have to
go back to the lab.

Negative. I must remain
with my controller.

And he's
so faithful, too.

Are there any more like
you down at the lab?

Forget it, Irma.

I've gotta get him
out of here.

So, what do you
think, guys?

You think I could make it
as a Baton twirler?

Hey, fella,
that was my best bow.

Being a 7-foot robot

means never having
to say you're sorry.

I'll handle this.

Put him down, you
oversized tin can.

Cut it out,
Leonardo.

It's ok, Rex.
They're friends.

If they are
your friends,

they are my friends.

Uff!

I'd hate to see how
he treats an enemy.

Hey, what's
the scoop, April?

Who is this
chrome-plated dude?

His name is Rex-1.

He's an experimental
police robot.

He followed me home
from the lab.

Ah! Sounds like
he's got a crush on you.

I was only trying
to get a story.

Now the police think
I stole him.

How can we be
of assistance?

Well, there is
something you can do.

Ok, fellas.
Let's go for it.

Excuse me, but wouldn't the
elevator be a whole lot easier?

Vernon, where the devil
is April?

I don't know,
Mr. Thompson.

I haven't seen her
all day.

Well, find her,
blast it!

Oh! What's going on?

Don't panic, fella.

Yeah,
and no fair peeking.

We're taking you
to see April.

Are you ready, Vernon?

I'm not sure.

I've never done this wearing
a blindfold before.

Hey, man, come on.

Like you gotta open yourself
up to new experiences. Ok?

No, no, Vernon.

Point it
in this direction.

Oh, this
is impossible.

I'm a sensitive artist.

Never mind, Vernon.
I'll help you.

Oh, wow.
Is this ever cool.

Hey, guys, do something.

Duh, how's this?

Look at me, ma!

I'm dancing.
I'm dancing.

Do you mind, fellas?

I'd like to get my scoop
into channel 6

this decade.

Oh, sure, April.

Channel 6
is standing by.

Ok, April.
You're on.

This is April O'Neill,

coming to you live
from a secret location.

Secret location! What
is going on here?

I'm here with an amazing
robot known as Rex-1,

which stands for
robot enforcement experiment.

I'm told the city plans to put
these robots into mass production.

The plan is to use these to replace
the city's human police officers.

Hmm.

A most interesting concept.

Will this plan work?

And will this be the end of the
annual police softball games?

Only time will tell.

Ha ha ha!

Soon I shall answer
all their questions.

Now that I've tapped
into the city's computers,

I shall have the plans
for the Rex prototype.

And with this duplicating
equipment,

I'll soon have my own army
of obedient robots

to do my bidding.

Ok, April,
that's a wrap.

Hey, that means you,
too, Vernon.

Time to boogie
on home, bud.

This time let's take
the elevator, please.

This is phase one
of my plan.

And these 4 most
wanted criminals

are your prime target.

Your job--
to destroy them.

Mission accomplished.

Now that we've
returned Vernon,

it's back to the sewers.

Oh, for sure.

Being out in public
stresses me out totally.

Uh-oh.
Trouble up ahead.

Look what's headed
this way.

They look like
cousins of Rex-1.

I wish they were
distant cousins.

You are
most wanted criminals.

And I always thought it
would be nice to be wanted.

They outnumber us 3 to 1.

There's no way
we can fight them.

Hmm. What would master splinter
do in a case like this?

Oh, I'm hoping
he'd split.

In this situation,

that would seem like
the best strategy.

Uh-oh.
Cancel that maneuver.

Whatever happens,

we'll go down
fighting bravely

just like
true ninja turtles.

Drop your weapons.
You are under arrest

in the name of the
emperor shredder.

Shredder.
I should have known.

I repeat.
Drop your weapons.

Forget it! We'd rather
drop our bodies.

Turtle power!

Emperor shredder,

there is no sign
of the 4 turtle criminals.

Excellent, excellent.

The turtles
are gone at last.

Emperor shredder
to all robot enforcers.

Proceed to phase two.

What? Who in blazes
are you?

We are the new law
enforcement troops.

That's strange. Why did channel


And where are the turtles?

I have tried
summoning them.

But they do not
answer.

Splinter, I have a really
bad feeling about this.

There is a time
for feeling,

and a time
for action.

Come with me.

All right!
Luckily, those robots

didn't realize
we're amphibians.

Sure. Water is
our natural habitat.

Yeah, it's also the
stuff we live in.

Ooh, yecchh!

Remind me never to go swimming
in the east river again.

Oh, when will people realize that they're
destroying their own water supply?

Donatello calling April.

Come in, April.

She's not answering.

Maybe she's out
looking for us.

Ah, not a great idea with those
tin twerps roaming the streets.

We'll find her.

I'll set the homing device
on my communicator.

Let's go.

APRIL: Those robots have turned
the city into a w*r zone.

Halt.
You are under arrest.

Surrender in the name
of emperor shredder.

Emperor shredder,
is it?

No, Rex!
What are you doing?

Just following orders.

I am programmed to serve
and protect you. Remember?

Your usefulness is over,
Rex-1.

You must be destroyed.

Rex-1 is
no longer operative

all hail
to emperor shredder.

Oh, no.
Poor Rex.

More enemies.

We must make them
inoperative.

Don't bet your circuit
boards on it, pal.

The criminals!
Destroy them.

Don't sweat it, turtles.

I'll handle this.

Whoa, bummer.
What happened to Rex?

He's in pretty bad
shape.

This is all my fault.
I had to have my big scoop.

Now Rex is smashed up,

and there's an army of evil
clones taking over the city.

This is shredder's
doing, not yours.

Hmm. I have an idea

how we might be able to gain
control of those other robots.

Wire.

Transistor tube.

Oh, man! Did you
have to use our TV

for spare parts?

I had no choice. We don't have
time to run out and buy any.

Please say he's going
to pull through, donatello.

Please.

He'd better.
He's our only hope

against those
Rex clones.

Videotapes.

No! Not my favorite flicks!

Sorry, Michelangelo, but we need
tapes to install his new program.

Ah. There.
We've done all we can.

Oh.

All right!

My name is Rex-1.

My job is-- my job
is-- my job is--


to serve and
protect you.

Donatello,
you're a genius.

Who am I
to argue?

This is great.

But what
about the other robots?

Oh, I programmed Rex
to control them,

but his range
is limited.

I borrowed a part
from an old toaster.

Which means we must lure
the robots into our trap,

and I know
just the thing.

Fireworks?
What good are those?

Just be patient, Raphael,
and you shall see.

All right, master.
Here goes.

It's--it's us.

Actually I think it
looks more like me.

Whoa, man.
Totally awesome.

What now,
splinter?

The trap has been set.

Now we wait to close it.

[SIREN]

Emperor shredder,
the turtles live.

They are at
the amusement park.

They live, do they?

Well, they won't for long.

Summoning all rexes.

Converge
on the amusement park

and destroy the turtles.

Turtles, we know
you are in there.

Come out
with your hands up.

Steady, guys.
They're almost within range.

APRIL: Are you sure
this is going to work?

It better,
or we're all dead meat.

All right, you varmints.
Eat lead.

Varmints.

I, uh, I guess I got

a Western movie
in there, too.

Golly, Toto,

this doesn't look
like Kansas to me.

Hey, moe!
Woo-woo-woo-woo!

Uh-oh. We've got
to do something.

We're right with
you, Leonardo.

Forget him, dudes.

Try those peashooters
on us.

That's it. Keep
drawing their fire.

Care for a little spin?

Surrender in the name
of emperor shredder.

You got
to catch us first, dude.

Tough tamales, tin man.

You are enemies of the state.
Your sentence is death.

Whoa, feel like I'm
in a sh**ting gallery.

Hurry, donatello. We can't
keep this up much longer.

No duh!

I order you to put
down your weapons.

And what will you
do if we refuse?

You leave me
only one recourse.

1-2, 1-2.
No pain, no gain.

What happened?

Something
got fouled up.

That's my aerobics
workout tape.

1-2, 1-2, 1-2.
Be like a birdie.

1-2, 1-2, 1-2.
Be like birds.

All right, bud.
Ha ha ha!

It worked.
It worked.

Blast you, turtles.
You've done it to me again.

But one day, turtles,
I will win.

And so the entire robot
enforcement experiment

has been abandoned.

Oh, well, Rex-1,
wherever you are,

you were only
a robot,

but I kinda liked
you.

IRMA: Yoo-hoo, April!

My date and I are
going to the movies.

You want to join us?

I don't think so,
Irma.

You might change your mind
when you see who it is.

APRIL: Rex!

And we have you
to thank, April.

After all,
you introduced us.

My job is to serve
and protect

and take Irma
to the movies.

He's such
a quick learner.
