Darn TV, it never works
when you need it.

Hey, I offered
to fix it,

but Leonardo insists
on doing it himself.

That's our fearless
leader for you.

I can do it,
I tell you.

All I have to do
is twist this knob and--

Whoa!

I can't understand it.

I had the right knob.

But you did not have
the right attitude.

The true ninja spirit must
be applied to all tasks,

even repairing
a television set.

We're here at the
Japanese embassy,

talking with
Ambassador Murishima,

who is hosting this exhibition
of historic artifacts.

Can you tell us
about them, Ambassador?

Gladly, Ms. O'Neil.

The most priceless object
in the entire collection

is this ancient,
legendary weapon.

The Sword of Yurikawa.

You recognize it,
sensei?

How could I not?

It once belonged
to my own ninja master.

The Sword of Yurikawa
has the amazing power
of transformation:

always changing,
yet always the same.

Whoa! Time out.

If something changes,

then how can it,
like, stay the same?

Forget it, Michelangelo.

It's too deep for you.

A kiddie's wading pool
is too deep for him.

If such a weapon should
fall into the wrong hands,

it could have dire
consequences.

My students, you must
go at once to guard it.

Aw, come on, sensei.

Couldn't we wait
until after dinner?

We're about to chow down.

Yeah. Besides,
I'm sure the embassy

has their own people
to guard the sword.

It is obvious you turtles

do not have
the true ninja spirit.

[sigh]

Master Splinter
is right.

We don't have
the true ninja spirit.

Now let's go show them
what we're made of.

[all grumbling]

Observe, Shredder,

as I demonstrate my latest
brilliant invention:

the Mind Bender Ray.

Lean to the left.

[Krang]
Lean to the right.

Stand up, sit down,
fight, fight, fight.

There you go-- ooh!

You see, Shredder?

Total obedience.

My mind bender gives
me complete power

over any mutant-like forms
with level Z brainwaves.

Big deal.

So you can control
anyone dumber than mud.

Hey, we're as smart
as mud any day.

Yeah, maybe even smarter.

Observe how I intend
putting it to use.

The Tri-State Bridge.

Yes.

Tomorrow, a truck convoy

carrying a rare form
of toxic waste

is scheduled
to drive across it.

By blowing up the bridge
just at the right moment,

the toxins will
fall into the water

and combine
with the harbor sludge,

creating a new race
of mud mutants,

which I alone will control.

Hmm.

Putting toxic waste
to good use.

A novel idea.

Rocksteady, Beebop!

Start loading the expl*sive

so we can blow up
that bridge!

And remember, Shredder,

this operation requires
a hands-on approach.

Something you could
never manage,

seeing as how you
don't have any hands.

[laughing]

You never miss a shot,
do you?

Why, it's April O' Neil!

This fabulous exhibit will
be at the Japanese embassy

for one week only.

So don't fail to see--

[April, Shredder]
The Sword of Yurikawa.

With that
in my possession,

there'll be no need
for expl*sives.

Shredder, what are you
blathering about?

There's no time
to explain.

I must get
to the surface now!

He's always been a sucker
for a pretty sword.

This is April O'Neil,
Channel 6 News, signing off.

Ah! the Sword of Yurikawa.

I must make it part
of my collection.

Every rare and exotic weapon
known to man is in this room.

Priceless tools of combat
from throughout history,

all mine.

But the rarest weapon
of all,

the Sword of Yurikawa,

has always eluded me.

Until now, that is.

Let me see.
Now, which of my weapons

shall I use to do the job?

This calls for something
simple but maneuverable.

Small, unobtrusive,
yet extremely effective.

Voila!

I have found it!

So tasteful, so elegant.

Who would ever guess
its destructive power?

At last,

the Sword of Yurikawa

will be mine.

Dudes, I have got
the major munchies.

Well, forget it.

We've got to get to
the Japanese Embassy.

Chill, this will
only take a second.

Wait, Michelangelo.
Don't!

Sorry, compadres.

I just can't resist an
anchovy and hot fudge pizza.

You heard Master Splinter.

We're supposed to use
true ninja attitude.

But, dude, how can we
practice ninja silence

with our stomachs growling?

Yeah, Michelangelo's
got a point there.

[sniffing]

There is a certain
logic to his thinking.

[sniffing]

I suppose
it couldn't hurt.

[all]
Turtles eat with honor!

We're here, fellas.

The embassy is just
around this corner.

[police radio]

Uh-oh.
The boys in blue.

What's going on?

Put out an APB
for the entire area.

The Sword of Yurikawa
has just been stolen.

Stolen?

We're too late.

I don't believe it.

We blew our assignment
for a lousy pizza.

I agree, amigo.

That crust was
seriously stale.

We can't go home
without that sword.

How would we face
Master Splinter?

Donatello's right.

We'll just have to track
it down ourselves.

Yeah, right.

Like we're just gonna
turn a corner

and boom, there it is.

There it is!

The Sword of Yurikawa!

You'd better hand
that over, friend!

Whoa!

Neat parlor trick.

Well,
easy, buddy!

We don't have
any fire insurance.

Somehow he set
that sword on fire.

I think it's time to lower
this guy's temperature.

My turn, guys.

Ow!

That smarts.

Remember what
Master Splinter said.

True ninja spirit.

[all]
Turtle power!

[muffled shouts]

I thought we were supposed
to do stuff like that.

Whoever that dude was,
he's gone now.

Remind me to make a note.

Well, Shredder,
back I see.

Yes, and my mission
was successful.

Now feast your eyes
on the sheer magnificence

of the Sword of Yurikawa.

It looks like an everyday
run-of-the-mill sword to me.

That's where
you're wrong, Krang.

This sword can transform
itself into anything I wish!

Observe.

I'll bet you also believe
in the tooth fairy. Ha!

In a moment,
you'll be laughing

out of the other
side of your brain!

You call that
a transformation?

He turned it into a pile
of junk, didn't he?

This is a fake!

Someone must have stolen the
real sword before I arrived.

I'm going to find
out who it was!

Come along, you two.

Shredder, forget
the blasted sword.

We've got to rig that
bridge with expl*sives

before the convoy arrives.

The sword will be
much more effective.

Trust me.

"Trust me."

I've heard that before.

April calling the Turtles,
come in, Turtles.

[Donatello]
We're right here,
April.

I can hear you,
but I can't see you.

That's because
we're right here.

Wow, that was fast.

I got a copy of the
surveillance videotape
from the embassy.

It might give us some clues
as to who stole that sword.

I wonder if there's time
to run out for some popcorn.

[April]
This is the embassy
trophy room,

and that is the
Sword of Yurikawa!

Hmm, looks pretty
ordinary to me.

Not according
to Master Splinter.

What happened?

Let's get a closer
look at that,

in slow motion.

So that's what happened.

Someone smashed the camera.

[Michelangelo]
And scope out that
righteous ring.

Mind if I use your
computer to run a check
on that ring, April?

Well, it's against
station--

Thanks.

[Donatello]
The Maltese ring,

an ancient,
handcrafted weapon,

suspected to be
in the possession

of Lafayette Le Drone,

international
weapons collector.

Lafayette Le Drone?

He's got that big
mansion across town.

Well, let's hit it.

Later, April.

Cowabunga!

First the turtles
follow April O'Neil,

then we
follow the turtles.

Now come on!

Okay.
This is Le Drone's pad.

Well, what are we
waiting for?

Look, there's Le Drone now,

and he's got the sword.

At last, the Sword
of Yurikawa is mine!

Ooh, how I have dreamt
of this moment,

but I must say,

it is almost sad, no?

I mean, after this,
what further challenge

does life have to offer?

You want a challenge?

You got a challenge.

In fact, we're having a
special on challenges today.

Four for the price of one.

No salesman will call,

but we will.

Better hand over
that sword now.

Why, certainment.
I will be happy to.

You will?

I was sure this would
turn into a fight scene.

Careful, Raphael.

It might be some
kind of double cross.

How ridiculous.

For a double cross,
I would need...

a double crossbow!

[all]
Gas bombs.

Now you uninvited guests will
see what my weapons can do.

Whoa!

Head's up, dudes!

He's got the whole place
booby-trapped.

Two down and two to go.

Don't just hang around
like that, Michelangelo.

I need your help.

Thanks,
I needed that.

Go green machine.

I have not yet run
out of tricks.

Hey, what's going on?

Au revoir.

For all of you
non-French-speaking viewers,

that means...[gulp]--
good-bye.

It broke.

That sword was bogus.

Sacré bleu!

Someone must have stolen the
real sword before I got there.

Until we meet again,
turtles.

A corny secret passageway?

Give me a break.

Forget Le Drone.

It's more important that
we find the real sword.

Let's go, Turtles!

Gone at last.

I thought they
would never leave.

From the frying pan
into the fire, little man.

More intruders!

Easy, Le Drone.
We're on the same side.

Who are you?

I am called the Shredder,

and world conquest
is my destiny.

I admire your
collection of weapons.

Perhaps we could join forces
against the turtles.

Moi?
Join forces with you?

Why on earth should I?

Give me one good reason.

Because here's what will
happen if you refuse.

Ah. Well, that
is one good reason.

We both want that sword.

Once I've used it
for my own purposes,

You may keep it
for your collection.

Monsieur Shredder,
you have a deal.

Yes, a deal that
will see the end

of the Teenage Mutant
Ninja Turtles.

[Shredder laughing]

[Le Drone]
Oh, I like that.

[Le Drone laughing]

Face it, compadres,

we're just gonna
have to cop

to Master Splinter
that we blew it.

Michelangelo's right.

The Sword of Yurikawa
is gone.

And it's all our fault.

Maybe he'll be willing
to forgive and forget.

It's him.

The ninja warrior.

[Donatello]
And he's got the sword.

Let's show this dude what
happens to sword swipers.

Okay, now what?

Maybe if we ask
for the sword
in a reasonable way?

It's worth a try.

All right.

Hand it over before
someone gets hurt.

Radical.
It worked.

Wait.

He wants you to attack
him with the sword.

I can't do that.

He's totally defenseless.

Well, you have to do it,

or you'll insult
his ninja honor.

I don't like it,
but here goes!

Ow!
It's turning red hot.

I can't hold on to it!

Yow!

[clanging]

Wait!
Come back!

Aw, he's gone.

Way hot!
It's totally cold.

You know there's something
really weird going on here.

Hmm.

Maybe Master Splinter will
be able to explain it.

Shredder!

Why haven't you planted
those expl*sives?

The truck convoy carrying
that toxic waste

is scheduled to cross
the Tri-State Bridge

in exactly 23 minutes.

If it's not blown up at
precisely the right moment,

our entire scheme
will go up in smoke.

[Shredder]
Don't get your medulla
in an uproar, Krang.

The Sword of Yurikawa
can do a lot more damage

than some measly expl*sive.

If only I can get
my hands on it.

Hey, boss,
look who's coming.

It's the turtles.

[Shredder]
What an incredible
stroke of luck!

They got
the Sword of Yurikawa!

So!

We meet again!

It's Shred Head and
the Gruesome Twosome!

All right, Shellbacks!

Hand over that sword!

You want it?
Try and take it.

Fire away!

With the greatest
of pleasure.

Hey!

Whoa!

[rumbling]

[Le Drone]
Do not despair,
Monsieur Shredder!

The cavalry has arrived!

[Shredder]
What in blazes is that?

It is I, mon ami!

Lafayette Le Drone,

your partner in crime!

At last!

The Sword of Yurikawa
is mine!

Ah-ah-ah!

But only temporarily,
Monsieur Shredder.

Remember our agreement.

[laughing]

Of course,
Monsieur Le Drone.

Temporarily.

[Shredder]
You're finished, turtles!

When the bridge goes down,
you go with it!

[laughing]

You know,
I can handle losing,

but do we have to listen
to that stupid laugh?

Heh, it's too bad you
guys won't be around

when the boss'
army of mud mutants
takes over the city.

Why just the city?

With those mutants
and this sword,

I can rule the world!

Will you forget
that ridiculous sword

and rig the expl*sives?

I've told you before,
Krang,

no expl*sive
on earth can match

the destructive powers
of this sword!

Oh, all right!

Take your new sword

and prepare to destroy
the bridge!

The truck convoy is due
to arrive at any moment.

[Shredder]
They're almost here,
Krang.

Now you'll see
what this sword can do!

Sacré bleu.

A chainsaw.

It will cut through
these girders

like a hot knife
through butter!

Watch closely,
turtles.

This is the last thing
you will ever see!

What in blazes?

It's gone berserk!

Looks like Shredder's
getting shredded.

[clanking]

Gee, I wonder how come
it turned on the boss.

Mm, because it gots
more brains than us?

I'll tell you why.

Because this sword
was meant to be mine!

Observe how a wise
general puts it to use.

Now observe how a wise
general knows when to retreat!

Bummer, dudes.

There are only
two cables left.

[Donatello]
If this bridge collapses,

it'll be bad news
for the city.

It won't be such great
news for us, either.

Look. It's that
mystery ninja again.

[Michelangelo]
And he's coming over to say hi.

My guess is it's--
[gulp]-- bye-bye.

Ooh!
Ouch!
Come on!

Hey, look, pal,

it's not like we're
ungrateful or anything,

but just exactly
who are you?

If you must know...

[gasp]

[all]
Master Splinter!

I dislike deception,
my students.

But it was my way

of testing
your ninja spirit.

[Shredder]
So, my ancient enemy,

prepare to be annihilated
once and for all.

We'll take care of him,
Master.

No. You take care of them.

Shredder and I have
an age-old score to settle.

You heard him, fellas.

Let's do it!

Uh-uh. Those shellbacks
look real ticked off.

Make way for us!

Now what, Oroko Saki?

Now this!

A laser blaster?

As our own sensei
taught us,

in battle
one must improvise.

Well, in that case...

Yo, boss,
better climb on board.

Any port
in the storm.

Shredder and his g*ons
are getting away.

Well, let's stop them.

Forget them. The convoy is
about to cross the bridge.

With those cables cut,

it will never support
their weight.

Then there is
only one solution.

[Michelangelo]
All right! Way to go!

Bodacious moves!

Remember my words
about the sword:

always changing,
yet always the same.

Yet no one could control
it but you, Master.

That is the secret
of the Sword of Yurikawa.

It can only be used for good,

and therein
lies its true power.

And so disaster
was avoided

as the convoy safely
delivered it hazardous cargo

for decontamination.

Just as you, my students,

must now safely deliver
the Sword of Yurikawa

to its rightful place.

Don't worry, sensei.

We'll take it straight
to the embassy.

And this time, we won't
stop for pizza.

Unless, of course,
it's a really great pizza.

Uh, like one with guacamole
and marshmallow?

What was that?

Just kidding, sensei.
