[MICHELANGELO]
Hey, Master Splinter,

want to watch
Bad-tempered Vegetable
Zombies from Mars?

No, thank you,
Michelangelo.

I have already
read the book.

But I do want to see
April's live news report.

Sure, sensei. We've
seen that movie
six times anyway.

True. But you can't see
a great classic like that

too many times.

Quiet down, guys.
Here's April.

This is April O'Neil
for Channel 6 News,

reporting live from the first
international conference

on global warming.

I have with me
Professor Higgins,

an expert on this
most serious crisis
facing the world.

Can you tell us
about it, Professor?

Certainly.
The Earth's temperature
is gradually increasing.

If it continues, the world's
sea level will rise,

and your nice
beachfront house

will rapidly decline
in property value.

That does sound serious.

What can we do
to prevent it, Professor?

I haven't a clue,
Miss O'Neil.

And now
back to our studio.

Leaders of the world,
this is Shredder.

If you do not
surrender to me--

And to me,
Krang the Magnificent.

To both of us,

you will
face global warming

on a scale you have not
yet begun to imagine.

I will be at the United
World Plaza at noon tomorrow

to present the terms
of your surrender.

That's Oroku.
That's my son.

If he's going
to conquer the world,

I want a piece of it.

Have a seat, Grandma.

Nobody leaves
the Fort Lauderdale Home
for Retired Villains.

Well, there's always
a first time, punk.

Whoa!

Tomorrow I will
demonstrate to you

just how hot it will get
if you defy me.

Ha ha ha ha ha ha!

Fellas,
this is serious.

You're right.
We've already missed half

of Bad-tempered Vegetable
Zombies from Mars.

[KRANG]
This plan of yours

had better work,
Shredder.

Building this solar
mirror satellite,

putting it in orbit,

it takes energy.

As soon as the people
of Earth surrender,

you will have all
the energy you need!

Yes, well, I've heard
that before.

The satellite
is in position.

Deploy the mirror.

Mirror deployed.

Now open the portal.

Hold on.
I'll give the orders here.

[SHREDDER]
It's working.

The mirror is
reflecting the sunlight
through the portal.

Hey, it's getting warm.

[APRIL]
Without warning,

an incredible heat wave
has struck the world.

Scientists are at a loss
to explain this occurrence,

and concern mounts

as the mountain snow pack
is melting by the hour.

This is amazing.

It's almost


Ah, totally frigidoso.

Let's see
what's going on up top.

And there is apparently
no explanation

for this unseasonably
warm weather.

But the threat
from arch-villain Shredder

has scientists worried.

Is this the demonstration
he promised?

That's right, Miss O'Neil.
This is it.

And it's going to get
even hotter.

Already, demands on your
electrical power supplies

have pushed generating
plants to the limit,

and water supplies
are dangerously low.

I demand
that the world's leaders

meet with me in one hour,

or the world
will face catastrophe.

Come on, fellas.
We've got to stop Shredder.

Gnarly notion, dude,
but, uh, where do we go?

A place where world
leaders hang out:

the United World Building.

Now to bring
the people of Earth

to their knees.

I'm glad
you're on time.

Here are my demands.

First,
all world governments

will surrender to me.

Second--

We have met,

and we have decided
not to give in

to your demands,
Shredder.

You what?

Oroku, sonny.

Mother?

W-What--I--

Are you so busy

you can't
send your mother
a postcard?

This is not the time.

Give me a hug, sonny.

Never mind.

Even a mother would
know you in that outfit.

Aw. Ain't that sweet?

Yeah.
Maybe I ought to send
my mother a postcard.

You will pay
for this insolence.

Earth will pay.

Come on, sonny.
Let's blow this joint.

Mother, wait.
Y-You can't--Ow!

Hi, guys.
You just missed Shredder.

He left through a portal.

And get this: he had
his mother with him.

Shredder has a mother?

I just tracked down
the source of that
heat ray, guys.

It's coming from
a portal in space.

Unless we can
get into space,

we have no way
of shutting it
down.

I might be
able to help you.

I've got a friend
in the space travel
business.

[APRIL]
And that's the story,
General Yogurt.

Can you help us?

Well, Miss O'Neil,
I don't ordinarily

carry mutant Turtles
as passengers,

But since we're
saving the world,

and it's for you,
sure.

All right, dudes!

It's astro surfing time!

You may need this,
my student.

An abacus?

But, Master Splinter,

the shuttle has
all kinds of computers.

Even the most
sophisticated
devices may fail,

but you can always
rely on this.

Good luck.

Thank you, sensei.

You fellas okay?

I don't know
about anyone else,

but I'm feeling
a little bit spaced out.

So this is where
you live, sonny.

How do you like it?

What a dump.

Shredder,
who is this woman?

Uh...my...mother.

This needs
a woman's touch:

curtains
on these view screens.

Don't touch that.

So this
is your heat ray.

Teach those weasels
a lesson:

fry 'em!

Say, brainy,
why don't you show me

how to work
this stuff later?

Hmm,
maybe you're not so bad.

I don't care much
for your choice
in friends, sonny:

one all-brain
and two no-brains.

There it is!
That's the portal!

How are we gonna get
past hat heat ray?

I've been watching
that thing.

Every little while,
a beam goes out

for a minute or so.

They probably have
to adjust the mirror

to compensate
for the Earth's movement.

Right. So that's
when I kick this baby
into overdrive

and scoot her
right through
that squiggly thing.

Wow.
That leaves us

only a half-second
margin of error.

And if we miss,
fried Turtles.

[DONATELLO]
I'll get the computer
data for you, General.

Ooh, it's gettin' hot.

What's that computer say,
son?

Something's wrong.
The computer's
not responding.

Must be the heat.

I'll have to fly
this thing in

by the seat of my pants.

We're directly
in the beam!

We'll be cooked like pizzas
in a flying oven!

Aah!
Aah!
Aah!

It's no good, boys.
Without computer guidance,

I can't see my way
to the portal.

It's too hot.

The computers
aren't working.

We'll be burnt
to a crisp
in a minute.

An abacus?

Master Splinter said
we might need it.

Got it. General,
give it full thrust
for 3.7 seconds,

and angle right


starting now.

[GENERAL]
We made it, boys.

Just in time.

There's the technodrome.

[CRASH]

What's wrong?

The landing guidance system.

It must have gotten knocked
out with all that heat.

That's okay. I really
didn't want to land
anyway.

Oh, we're gonna land, boys.

It just may be
in several pieces.

Good landing,
General.

Any landing you can
walk away from--

Is a good landing.
Right.

Can you get her
flying again, General?

You boys go take care
of this Shredder fella.

I'll get this shuttle
ready to fly in no time.

Great, because that's
about how much time
we have.

I've turned up the heat!
Ha ha ha ha!

Good work, Krang.

Now those world leaders
will be sorry

they were rude
to my little boy.

Mother,
I'm Shredder now.

Of course you are, sonny.

Turn it up some more.

Make real baked Alaska.
Ha ha ha ha ha!

Now, this is a woman
I could get to like,

if I liked anyone.

We've got to disconnect
the antenna

that controls
that solar mirror.

Krang can repair
the antenna.

We'll have to put the mirror
out of commission, too.

Right, but we need to buy
some time for Earth.

We'll
deal with that later.

[BEEPING]
There's the antenna.

Better start climbing, dudes.

Cowabunga!

See? You can't
even get the beat

of four miserable Turtles.

Turtles? Oh, I'll
take care of them
once and for all.

Rocksteady! Bebop!

What a jerk.

Going off without
a thought in his head.

[LAUGHING]

Let the Turtles
come to us, sonny!

Krang, do you have
some soldiers handy?

As many as you need.

Now we take this antenna and--

What's going on?

Maybe the dudes
know we're here.

Another antenna!

Krang must be switching
frequencies

to keep anyone from
jamming the signal.

Let the dudes try
and stop that jamming.

Can we go home now?

Hey-yah!

Look out! Laser blasters!

Aah!
Aah!
Aah!

Aah!

We're inside
the technodrome.

Now to get
to the mirror controls.

[ZAPPING]
Now what?

Foot soldiers,
that's what!

All right, Turtles,
Plan B!

Right, dude.

[IN UNISON]
Turtle power!

You know, they just
don't make foot soldiers
like they used to.

Lucky for us.

[ALARM BLARES]

Let's find
that computer link

to the solar mirror.

So much for that plan,
Mother.

The Turtles destroyed
your antenna.

Mmph. Silly boy.

Krang let them destroy
a dummy antenna.

Now you've got them
where you want them.

See, silly boy?

You should listen
to your mother.

Krang, what's this?

The technodrome's
garbage compactor.

Perfect. Sonny, send
Bebop and Rocksteady
after the Turtles.

Those numbskulls
couldn't catch a cold.

I know. That's
why I'm sending them.

Boy, are you slow.

Ohh!

Oh, Master Splinter,
I'm worried.

If the Turtles don't stop
Shredder's heat ray soon,

the Earth will burn
to a crisp.

I know. This is a time
of grave danger
for us all.

But the Turtles
will not fail.

At least I certainly
hope not.

[SNORT]

Hey, shell-backs!

It's Bebop
and Rocksteady!

We noticed.

It's play time,
Turtles!

Come on. We can take 'em.

There's no time. We've got
to get to the computer room.

Which way is it?

You got me.

Right. They seriously
expect us to buy that?

Unless you've got
a better idea.

Oh!
Yow!

Them Turtles
pack a punch.

Uh-oh. Dead end!

Listen, maybe if we
explain to Rocksteady
and Bebop

that we came
the wrong way,

they'll let us
start over again.

It's a trap!

On the other hand,
maybe not.

Pew! This place smells
like a garbage dump.

Wrong.
It's a trash compactor.

I resent this.

We may be poor,
but we're not trash.

Come on, guys.
Uhhn!

This thing
is gonna crush us.

Uhh! It's no use.
We can't stop it.

Didn't we do this
in another episode?

[GRUNTING]

Great. We're gonna
be Turtle pancakes!

Awesome notion:


Aah!

Come on, guys.

This way leads
to the central
computer.

How do you know?

"This way leads to
the central computer."

Oh, get real, dude.

We already fell for that
once this episode.

This time
it'll be different.

I promise.

Turtle power!

The Turtles!
Krang, call out
the foot soldiers.

Those terrible
green creatures
again.

I'll have to
destroy them.

Foot soldiers alert!

No! I won't have you
making a mess in here.

But, Mother,

these Turtles aren't
going to stand still

while we
fry their planet.

Oh, yes, they are.

Look out!

A force field!

Hi-yah!
It's too powerful!

Total bummer.
We're trapped!

Finally!

The conquest of Earth

and the defeat
of the Turtles,

and it was accomplished
by Shredder's mother!

Ohh!

Shredder, don't be angry.

I'm sure we can
find work for you,

perhaps cleaning or cooking!
Ha ha ha ha ha!

General Yogurt
is still free.

Maybe he can help us.

Donatello
calling General Yogurt.

Come in.

I'm in, but I can't
do you much good.

How did they catch you?

I got worried
about you boys,

so I came
looking for you.

There was this sign
over a door:

"This way
to the Turtles,"

so I went in.
These lugs grabbed me.

You fell for that
sign bit, too.

I always like
a man in uniform.

Keep an eye on him.

This is April O'Neil.

The city, like the rest
of the world, is sizzling.

In Los Angeles, the desert
has reclaimed the city,

and the populace is fleeing.

The latest news

is that the polar
ice caps are melting.

Even this reporter
has been forced

to make changes.

Ha ha ha ha!
I love it.

Earth barbecued.

Dudes, are we just
gonna hang here all day

and watch Mother Unnatural
overcook our planet?

Now that you
mention it, no.

But we need
a diversion.

General, Shredder's mother
seems to like you.

What if you find out how
this force field works?

I gotcha.

Say, did anyone
ever tell you

you're a whiz
at this stuff?

You think so?

My son never
appreciated me.

That's a real shame.

He doesn't deserve
a mother like you.

But how'd you
figure out all this?

Simple. This controls
the satellite,

this operates
the force field,

this one the screens.

Let me see if I
got this right.

This one
works the screens?

Don't touch that!

Good work, General!

Oh, the Turtles
got loose.

Let's get 'em!

Aah!

Mutants.
Works every time.

Uhh!

Hold on there,
lady.

[ALARM BLARES]

Attack a poor defenseless
woman, will you?

Bring her over here,
General.

Let me out of here,
you bullies!

Guys,
keep an eye on the door

while the general and I
figure a way

to wreck that heat ray.

Hurry up, you guys.

How can we
destroy that mirror?

There's a solar mirror

left over from
the Star Wars project

in Earth orbit.

Right.
We can use that mirror

to reflect that heat ray
back through the portal,

and wreck Krang's mirror.

You catch on fast,
boy.

If I can just
reposition it

so that it intercepts
Krang's heat ray,

then reflect it
back to its source.

It worked!

Hurry, you fools!

Worried about
your mother, boss?

No. I'm worried about
the solar mirror.

Now you will pay.

Oroku, get me out of here!

Mother?

The portal is gonna
close in two minutes.

I managed to get
the shuttle working

just before those two
uglies grabbed me.

Then let's
hit the road, dudes.

I didn't have time
to test this thing,
boys.

So let's give it
a field test now.

[GENERAL]
It's gonna be close.

We're
not gonna make it!

We made it!

[CHEERING]

We can't let the Turtles
get away with this!

First things first, sonny.

No one is going anywhere

until this place
is cleaned up.

Right, Mother.

Your mutants
missed a spot.

Anything you say,
Mother.

My son the arch-villain.
Ha!

Enough!

Shredder,
you're not done!

Where are you going?

I'm not going anywhere,
Mother,

but you are.

No! Wait!

Ha ha ha ha ha!

Children.

They never appreciate
their mothers.

The temperature
around the world

has returned to normal,

and once again
our world is safe.

This is April O'Neil
for Channel 6 News.

Once again,
we saved the world,

and do we get
any credit? No!

Well, maybe we could
get General Yogurt

to give us a medal.

Face it, guys. We'll never
be in the limelight.

But at least we know

our technology is
superior to Krang's.

And this very old
technology

is superior to the new.
