[SIREN WAILING]

Excuse me.

Oh dear, oh dear.

[WARBLING]

[GASPS]
Oh, no!

No, you can't have it.

All right, dudes.
Chill out!

The Teenage Mutant
Ninja Turtles.

[GROANING]

Whoops.

[CHATTERING]

Yeah!
Bad catch, bud.

Come on, dudes,
let's go!

[CLAMORING]

Oh, no!

Forget them.
You gotta get it back.

What was that thing?

My latest
scientific discovery.

You gotta find it!

Just who are you,
anyway?

I'm Herman J. Mellish.

You gotta find it!

If it fell in the wrong hands,
it would be a catastrophe.

We'll find it, all right.

It must have washed away
in the river.

Just find it!
I gotta go.

Well, you heard the man.
Let's find that thing.

Right.
Whatever it is.

[RAPHAEL]
Let's just hope nobody finds
that doodad before we do.

Oh, relax, Raphael.

Who else hangs out down here
in the sewers besides us?

Are you kidding,
Michelangelo?

What about the Rat King?

And Leatherhead?

And--

That reminds me.

I wonder whatever happened
to old Baxter Stockman?

Baxter, the wacko fly?

Forget him.
Come on!

[BUZZING, WHIMPERING]
What a world.

I suppose all
my old enemies

have forgotten
about me by now.

Don't worry,
Baxter old pal.

We'll find some way out

of this dimensional limbo
sooner or later.

Maybe they've forgotten

what a great scientist
I used to be,

but I don't forget.

I'll find that-that--

Shredder.
Thank you.

Shredder.
And I'll get even with him

for making me this way.

Relax, Baxter old buddy.

I'll get you
out of here somehow.

I hate it here!

There's so much...
nothing.

I want to go back to Earth
and get my revenge.

[WEEPING]

Take it easy, Baxter.

I hate to see
a grown fly cry.

Hey! Look!

Do you realize
what that is?

[BAXTER
BUZZING, WHIMPERING]

It's an electric doughnut.
Yum, yum.

No. It's
a dimensional wormhole.

It's a warp in the fabric
of space and time.

Baxter, this could be
our gateway home.

And beautiful.

[BUZZING]

[WHISTLES]

What's the matter with
this idiotic machine?

Give me
a maintenance report

on our main
power batteries.

[MACHINE]
Two plus two is four.

I know that,
you stupid machine!

I need a damage report.

Two plus two make four.

[ELECTRICAL SIZZLING]
Oh!

It still don't shatter.

When the volcano erupted,

it completely damaged
the main compu circuits.

But we can't function
without a computer!

Yeah.

And we can't play
no computer games neither.

What a bummer.

Well, let's go shopping.

We must get a computer.

And the easiest place
to get one

is on Earth!

[SQUEAKING]

Baxter.
You it did.

We're back on Earth.

Earth?
Now I can get Shredder.

Let me at 'im.

Why it's-- It's--

Double goodie!

No, wait.
Let me see it.

[BEEPING]

Baxter, this is
a solid energy generator.

A device that turns energy
into rock-hard matter.

Place it in
my circuit slot.

Now. Watch.

[HUMMING]

[HISSING]

Baxter, old buddy,

with your brains
and my new body,

we're ready to
take on the world.

Okay!
[LAUGHS]

But we start with Shredder.

Whatever you say,
pal.

This is the end
of the river, dudes.

Yeah? Then
where's the gadget?

Maybe it sank.

After floating
all this way?

Well, maybe
we missed it back there.

I don't think so.
Look!

[MICHELANGELO]
Whoa!

What the heck makes
footprints like that?

I don't know.

But I think
we'd better find out.

[BUZZING]
Where's that Shredder?

I want him.

I will crush him
like a fly--

No, that can't be right.

Revenge. Revenge, revenge!

Wait, Baxter old pal.

Don't forget, we have to deal
with those Turtles, too.

Revenge! Revenge!

Sugar! Sugar!
[BUZZING]

Sugar!

[CHEWING, SLOBBERING]
Sugar!

That's brilliant!

Baxter,
you're a genius.

[WITH HIS MOUTH FULL]
I know.

We'll lure him
out of hiding

with the one thing
in the universe

he really wants
to get his hands on.

You mean, sugar!

No, those four Turtles.

Yes, of course,
the Turtles.

Turtles! How?

By using their friends
at Channel Six.

Well, Mr. Thompson, we've
installed new computers

in every office
in the TV station.

They'd better work!
They cost me a fortune.

[COMPUTER SALESMAN]
By the way, we also

have computers
that can replace

most of your news staff.
[CHUCKLES]

Mm. That would certainly
make my life easier.

I'll think about it.

April, Burne's
not really going to

replace us with computers,
is he?

It sure sounded
that way, Irma.

[CHUCKLES]
I certainly don't
have to worry about that.

I'm invaluable
to this station.

Yeah. They couldn't
make a computer

with a big enough ego
to replace you.

Here's the plaster cast
I made of that footprint.

What kind of creature
has a foot like that?

Some weird alien robot?

A 500-pound canary?

A circus clown with
a really sick sense of humor?

No, my sons. It appears
to be the footprint

of a gigantic fly!

[TOGETHER]
Baxter Stockman!

Yes. There is no doubt

it is the footprint
of a gigantic fly.

Fellow dudes,

it looks like old
Baxter Stockman's

back in town.

And chances are,
he's got that device.

Mellish said it would be
a catastrophe

if it fell into
the wrong hands.

Yeah, and Baxter's
got four of 'em.

Come on, Turtles.
We've got to find him.

Ah, but we don't know
where he is.

[RAPHAEL]
And we don't even know
what that device does.

Since when have we been
bothered by details?

[BUZZING]

[COMPUTER]
Now, we need to get inside
to the main transmitting room.

[BUZZING]
Let in!

Gosh, you're
so clever, Baxter.

Now, go find that woman

who's friends with
the Turtles,

April O'Neil.

Find April O'Neil.
April O'Neil.

While I take over
this building.

Attention, humans.
What the heck?

[SCREAMS]

April O'Neil.

Hey-Hey-Hey-Hey-Hey!

I now control everything
in this entire building.

Well, I sure got my money's
worth with those computers.

This building is now
under the command

of the greatest guy
in the universe.

Baxter Stockman.

Baxter Stockman?

We control everything.

Oh, put me down!

Here s-she is,
April O'Neil.

No, no.
[SCREAMS]

That's not even a woman.

She looks like this,
Baxter, old pal.

Okay. I got it now.

Find April O'Neil.

Find...
May O'Neil.

June O'Neil!

Give me that computer salesman
on the phone, pronto!

[COMPUTER]
Sorry, but Baxter Stockman

controls the phones, now.

That's just great,
great, great, great.

Are you September O'Neil?

You mean, April?
Do I look like April?

Where is she?

Why should I tell you?

Because,
I'm a big fly.

She's straight down
the hall.

Straight down that hall.

Straight down that hall.

I don't remember putting
any big flies on the payroll.

What are
we gonna do, April?

Get help!

April to Turtles:
come in.

April?
[PANTING]

There's a horrible monster
loose in the building.

I know, Vernon.
Quiet!

We read you, April.
What's up?

We got
a big problem here.

Baxter Stockman
and that computer of his

are taking over
the station.

Hurry, guys.
We need you!

Excuse me. I'm looking
for April O'Neil.

I-I'm a little busy
right now.

Oh, sorry.
I'll take you instead.

Oh, no.
No, not again!

I should have
stayed in radio.

Come on, team.
April's in trouble!

At least we can stop
looking in trash cans
for that fly.

Yeah. Now all we need's

a really big glass jar
to catch him in.

April was busy
calling the Turtles

so I brought him
instead.

[GRUNTS]

Great work, Baxter.
You've done it again.

That means the Turtles
are on their way here.

[BUZZING]

They are?
What do we do?

We want them to come

so you can capture them.

Capture them?
Oh, yes. Good.

No, wait, buddy boy.

You can't catch all four
of them by yourself.

Fortunately, with my new
solid energy generator,

I can make you
a device to catch them.

Now, go get 'em,
palsy-walsy.

Okay!
[LAUGHING]

[ELECTRICAL CRACKLING]
Whoa!

And just where do
you think you're going?

[CHUCKLES]
Excuse me.

I have to go see
my chiropractor.

[SHREDDER]
How much longer is
this going to take, Krang?

We need a computer.

I found it!

A source of incredible
computer power.

Like nothing I've ever
detected before on Earth.

And it's at Channel Six.

That's ridiculous.

What would the most
powerful computer in the world

be doing at
a television station?

Giving an interview,
for all I know.

Who cares why it's there?

We must return you,
and Bebop and Rocksteady

to Earth,
so you can steal it.

Wait a minute!

The transdimensional portal
generator doesn't work.

Then, we must make it work.
Come on!

It's locked!

Wait! That door
isn't your property.

Wanna take a vote on
smashing our way through it?

We don't have time
for this.

We've gotta find Baxter.

[BUZZING]

I'd say
he just found us!

I've got you now.
Stupid, greasy Turtles.

Whoa, dude.
Who you callin' "greasy"?

[BUZZING]

Run!

Boy, what I wouldn't give

for a really big
flyswatter right now.

Hey, bugbreath,
come back and play!

Gotcha now!
[SCREAMS]

I got ya, Michelangelo.

[SCREAMS]

Next time, try to fall
a little gentler, will ya?

[EVIL LAUGHTER]
I'll catch you Turtles.

I have you now.

Just our luck.
Swatted by a fly!

[GRUNTS]

Dude, there must be
some way out of
these energy ropes.

I think I've been feeling
too geared up lately, dudes.

Yeah.

Something tells me I'm about
to get a splitting headache.

Oh, someytimes I wish
I had a fifth hand.

Aw, don't fly off
the handle, Baxter.

Not funny, not funny!

Nobody likes puns
anymore.

[COMPUTER]
Old buddy-boy Baxter must
have the Turtles ready by now.

It's time to get
Shredder's attention.

Do you hear me, Shredder?

I'm looking for you.

My buddy Baxter's got those
Turtles you're always after.

And if you don't show up
in five minutes,

they'll be toast.

Where are you, Shredder?

You come here now, or
I shall never have revenge

agaist Turtles--
never, ever, ever!

We're bait for Shredder?

Yeah, leave it to a fly

to think up a bug-brained
idea like that.

But Shredder isn't even
on this planet.

That stupid Shredder

doesn't even
know an ultimatum
when he hears one.

Uh, Baxter, can we talk?

[ENGINE WHINING]
Hurry, Krang.

We must get
the transdimentionl
portal activated.

You stupid machine!

It's working!

Hurry! Hurry!

Go through it,
and get that computer.

Now to get to Channel Six.

[COMPUTER]
Do you hear me, Shredder?

What the devil?

You'd better meet my pal
Baxter Stockman

at the clock tower
in two minutes.

Baxter Stockman?

What is he doing
here on Earth?

Baxter is going to
finish off the Turtles

if you don't show up.

No, by Ninja law
it is my right

to destroy the Turtles,

not that pipsqueak fly's.

No, Master Shredder.

We gotta get that computer,
like Krang said.

Oh, who cares
about the computer?

I want those Turtles!

[VERNON]
We're going to be trapped
in this building forever!

Oh, we're doomed.

Oh, Vernon,
shut up.

If we can cut the power
that computer's using,

maybe we can
get out of here!

I've got a card key.

Ow, ow, ow!

Ah, ah, ah.

Trying to
cut the power, eh?

When my palsy-walsy
Baxter rules the world,

all humans will obey
us computers.

In the meantime,
I'll just have to

teach you a lesson
for your disobedience.

[SCREAMING]

[MICHELANGELO]
Baxter, I'm telling you,
Shredder's in Dimension X.

He ain't comin', Baxter.

So why don't you just
let us go and buzz off?

Pah! You're just tryin'
to save your own shells.

Shredder, where are you?

Baxter, there is no
possible way Shredder
is gonna show up here.

So sue me.

I want those
Turtles, Baxter.

You're not going to
deprive me of my revenge.

No, it's my turn
for revenge.

[GRUNTING]

Hey, dudes, I think
our time's up!

Donatello,
can you get loose?

No way. Only the most
highly skilled ninja master

could get out
of these ropes.

Hi, Leonardo.

[CHURCH BELL RINGING]

Whoa-oa!

Well, what took ya
so long?

[SHREDDER]
You stupid fly.

I should have
swatted you long ago.

We've got to get
out of here and over
to Channel Six somehow.

[BUZZING]

[SCREAMING]

Come on. We've gotta
get to that computer.

Ew, what happened
to Baxter?

He must be finished.

And the Turtles
escaped.

Never mind. We've got
to get that computer.

Now, to bust our way in.

Wait. The destruction
of other people's property,

for whatever reason,
is wrong.

Are you kiddin' me?
April's in danger.

We'll take the sewer.

Excuse me. Since when
did we become

"The Teenage Mutant
Ninja Boy Ninnies"?

Got to stop them!

Locked.
Bebop, blast it.

Wait! The destruction
of other people's property,

for whatever reason,
is wrong.

[LAUGHS]
I know.

Come on.

[LAUGHING]

This will teach you humans
to mess with a computer.

[SCREAMING]

I'll show that overblown
pocket calculator.

Wait, the destruction
of other people's--

Shut up!

Where's Baxter's computer?

Upstairs,
in the transmitter room.

[DOOR CRASHING]

You're the supercomputer.

Who, me? Why, uh, no.
I'm--

Bebop, Rocksteady.
Get him!

What are you doing?
Put me down!

Krang!
Activate the portal.

You put my friend down!

[BAXTER BUZZING]

Hey, cut it out.

Ow, ooh.
Let him go!
He's my best friend.

Ah, it's mine.

Think we should
do something?

Why bother?
They're doin' plenty.l

Mellish! What are
you doing here?

I've been looking
all over for you guys.
[GROANING]

Did you get my
solid energy generator?

It's right there.

If you like,
go get it.

Hey, what's that thing?
Huh?

Oh.
The autodestruct button.

You mean, you could have
blown that gizmo up all along?

If you were so worried
about it falling into
the wrong hands,

why didn't you?

Hey, that thing's worth
plenty big bucks

to the right customer.

But if it fell
into the wrong hands,
I wouldn't get nothing.

[FIGHTING CONTINUES]
So you put us through
all this,

just so you could
make a profit?

Give me that.
Heads up, guys.

Get to the portal, quick!

Oh, I'll get you
for this!

Baxter, old buddy-boy,

don't forget me.

[SHREDDER]
Shut it down. Shut it down.

Oh, no!
Not again!

[COMPUTER]
Don't worry, Baxter,
old buddy, old pal,

at least
you still have me.

What's left of me,
anyway.

[APRIL]
Thanks, guys.

You saved the station.

And our lives.

It's all in a day's work
for a fun-loving turtle.

I'd say everything's
back to normal here.

Yep. Now that we don't
have to worry about--

Do you hear
what I hear?
[BUZZING]

Oh, no.
It couldn't be!

Don't tell me
he got back somehow.

[SHAVER BUZZING]

[WHIMPERING]
No, please. Not again.

I've been dragged around
by weirdos all day.

I can't take this anymore.

[MICHELANGELO]
Get serious, dude.

[RAFAEL]
Gee, Vernon sure
is jumpy lately.

[DONATELLO]
I wonder what's
gotten into him.

[MICHELANGELO]
Oh, the dude's
probably overworked.

He should take up
a hobby.

[LEONARDO]
Right. Like
insect collecting.
