[ Snarling ]

Man, Leonardo
is sure looking awful.

Okay, I think we've found
the solution
to your hypermutation.

Now stand back, guys.
I'm gonna test it out.

[ Snarling ]

[ Beeps ]

[ Groans ]
Hey, what am I doing in a cage?

You were auditioning
for the lead role...

in the next Jurassic movie
as a Turtlesaurus rex.

How do you feel?
Fine.

Now can you
let me out of here?

Well, your vital signs
are all okay.

[ Sighs ]
Thanks for all your help, guys.

It's good to be normal again.

[ Dregg ]
The genetic code
in this mutated turtle shell...

contains the key
to my defeating the Turtles.

With the mutanite,
I will mutate them
out of existence.

Um, we don't quite have
the mutanite...

as it is a very rare element,
Lord Dregg,

found only in, uh,
Dimension X.

I've had a patrol
out searching for months.

What?
I don't have months.

I need mutanite now,
or my plan won't work!

[ Grunting ]
I-I-I know of another way.

There is an element
on Earth called plutonium.

It not only
creates mutations,

but can cause
an atomic expl*si*n as well.

[ Beeps ]

Excellent.
This plutonium
is just what I need...

to rid myself
of the Turtles,

so I can finally
conquer the Earth.

But how exactly
do you plan to dispose
of the reptiles?

I don't.

They'll dispose of themselves.

Oh, no! Look at those feet.
I'm glad we can't smell them.

I am pleased
to see your mutations...

have finally been stabilized.

Oh. Looks like I'm
the only freak left
in the circus.

The happy butterfly
does not spend its time...

dreaming
of caterpillars.

[ Groans ]
I feel sick.

What a wuss, Leonardo.

I saw this movie six times
before it made me nauseous.

[ Roaring ]

Easy!
Easy, Leonardo!

We're your friends, remember?

[ Snarling ]

Why do I get the feeling
he thinks
we're turtle burgers?

Do not resist him.

[ Growling ]
Sensei, no!

- Get away from him!
- [ Growling ]

[ Roars ]

[ Groans ]
I didn't move, I swear.

[ Carter ]
We got to stop him...

before he turns the city
into a junkyard again.

[ Donatello ]
I'll go with Carter.

[ Yelling ]

No need to alarm anyone.

I just want your entire supply
of plutonium. Now!

Uh-oh.

Guys! We've picked up his trail
on East Valla Boulevard.

- We're on our way!
- [ Tires Squealing ]

There he is!
Leonardo!

Please come back
to the lair with us.

[ Roaring ]

[ Donatello Groans ]

Hey. You all right,
Donatello?

Oh, nothing
a little adjustment
won't fix.

[ Neck Cracks ]
Ahh.

Hey, guys,
does Leonardo like hockey?

Uh, not particularly.

In that case,
we're in trouble!

Okay, Michelangelo.
Now!

Let's get him back
to the van.

Whoa!

I feel like
a frozen TV dinner.

I can't let you cause
any more damage.

[ Roaring ]

[ Snarling ]

Hey!

[ Shouting ]

[ Roaring ]

[ Screaming ]

[ Screams ]

We gotta stop Leonardo
before he trashes
the whole stadium.

Whoa! I'm slipping!

[ Grunting ]

[ Screaming ]

- [ Grunts, Groans ]
- [ Siren Blaring ]

[ Groans ]
Good shot, dude.

Only I'm not
a Teenage Mutant Hockey Puck.

[ Roars ]

You okay, Carter?

Ooh. I'll be fine
once we get Leonardo
back to normal.

Come on!

[ Screaming ]

Wow! The Internet is great
for researching stories.

I'm here live from
the Metropolitan
Hockey Stadium.

Once again, one of the notorious
Mutant Ninja Turtles
is wreaking havoc,

this time in the middle
of the hockey play-offs.

Oh, those guys have
more energy than
that battery-powered rabbit.

But from now on, I'm working
on nice, ordinary stories.

And this is just
what I've been looking for...

to crack the biggest
chop shop ring in the city.

Otto Wrecker, known car thief.

Disappeared two years ago.

Now to analyze
all the car thefts
over the past three weeks.

And that's where
the computer predicts
Otto will strike next.

[ Clanging ]

He's headed
for the bridge.

Cut him off on the north side.
We'll cover the south.

[ Tires Squealing ]

[ Roars ]

Easy, Leonardo.
Nobody's gonna hurt you.

[ Snarls ]

[ Donatello ]
It's one of Dregg's shuttles.

[ Tires Squealing ]

He's got Leonardo!

Well, what are we
standing around for?

- Wait!
- [ Whistle Blowing ]

That train'll crash
if it reaches the bridge.

We gotta stop it!
But what about Leonardo?

I'll go after him.
You guys take care
of the train.

There's a switch
about 100 yards back.

See if you
can change the tracks.

I'll try
to signal the train.

[ Grunts ]
Man, it was never this hard
on my electric train set.

[ Train Whistle Blowing ]

[ Shouting ]

It's too late, Carter!
Get off the tracks!

No!
Carter!

[ Whistle Blowing ]

That was the bravest thing
I ever saw.

That dude sacrificed himself
to save the train.

Guys!
Could you help me?

He's still alive!

Thanks.
Don't mention it.

And don't scare us
like that again!

Hey, guys?
How are we gonna
locate Dregg's shuttle?

Come on.
We can track it from the van.

[ Beeping ]
He's headed northeast.

Well, let's boogie!

Titanium, aluminum,
chromium, benzine.

Perfect.

The Microbots will have
everything they need...

to rebuild that warehouse
to my specifications.

With those kinds of chemicals
and Dregg's kind of mind,


he's gonna build
something bad.

[ Electricity Crackles ]

[ Engine Starts ]

[ Tires Squeal ]

[ Drill Buzzing ]

[ Buzzing ]

[ Brakes Squeal ]

This is going to be a nice,
easy, Turtle-free story.

[ All Shouting ]

What?
Oh, talk about bad luck.

I'm in the middle
of another one
of Dregg's evil plots.

[ Gasping ]
He's got Leonardo.
I've got to alert the others.

Time to go to work,
my little friends.

Build me a plutonium ray.

And when they're done,
I'll transform you...

into the deadliest turtle
in the world.

[ Beeps ]
I've lost the shuttle.

Guys, it's April.
Dregg's got Leonardo.

We're in a warehouse
at 333 South Sim--

[ April Screams ]

[ Radio Static ]
We gotta find April
and fast!

But she never got a chance
to give us the entire address.

No problemo, dude.

I'll just let my Turtle fingers
do the walking
through the Web pages.

[ Beeps ]
Uh-oh. Major
problemo, dude.

There's two addresses beginning
with 333 South Sim-something.

There's Simpson Street
and Simpleton Boulevard.

Well, we'll have
to check them both.

[ Roaring ]
[ Crackling ]

Relax, Turtle.

You'll be dealt with
soon enough.

Now's my chance
to free Leonardo.

[ Panting ]
Lord Dregg,

here's the plutonium
you required.

[ Dregg ]
Everything is ready.

No! That plutonium
will destroy him!

[ Roaring ]

Stop!
He'll never survive!

Don't worry. It won't be fatal.

[ Chuckles ]
At least, not yet.

- [ Beeps ]
- [ Roaring ]

Huh?

Huh?

Leonardo?
Are you okay?

Actually, I feel great.

Why did you cure me?

Cure you? Ha!
Think again, fool.

[ Michelangelo ]
All right, dudes.
Let's kick some bat!

[ Animals Screeching ]

What would Dregg be doing
in an animal warehouse?

Maybe he knows Santa's
not going to give him
that puppy he asked for.

Over there.

[ Kiaiing ]

[ Roaring ]

Either Dregg needs a shave,

or we're in
the wrong warehouse!

Let April go, Dregg.

There's no reason
to keep her here.

You're right.
Mung, release her.

[ Beeps ]

Go on, April.
Get out of here!

I said
I was releasing her.

I never said anything
about letting her go.

Mung, have the Microbots
turn her into a cyborg.

No!

Freeze, beetlebrain!

Destroy them!

[ Tires Squealing ]

Mung,
use the plutonium ray.

Guys, look out!

I brought your blades,
Leonardo.

[ Electricity Crackling ]

Thanks, Raphael.

The game's over,
Dregg!

On the contrary,
Turtle.

It's just beginning.

At this very moment,
the plutonium in your system...

is turning
your mutated genes
into a very unstable element.

Dregg, you're not trying
to tell us that he's gonna
reach critical mass?

Exactly.

That means Leonardo
is gonna go nuclear
in less than 30 minutes.

He'll take
the whole city
with him.

He's bluffing.

I don't feel a-- a--
I don't feel very good.

Uh, nothing personal,
but you don't look
very good either.

[ Roaring ]

What?
I said it wasn't personal.

- [ Roaring ]
- [ Grunting ]

[ Electricity Crackling ]

Come on! We gotta
get outta here!

[ Cries Out ]
[ Snarling ]

Let her go, Leonardo!

Leonardo!
Please, put me down!

Help!

How are we gonna
stop Leonardo
before the big bang?

Well, if-if we can get
the chemicals Dregg used
on Leonardo--

We can diffuse him and possibly
stabilize his mutation.

All right!
We're happening now!

Let's have the chemicals.

Uh, they're
in Dregg's shuttle.

We're... not happening.

Donatello and I
will go after Leonardo.

You guys try
to get Dregg's chemistry set.

[ Michelangelo ]
Right.

[ Tires Squealing ]

Dregg's shuttle is up ahead.
See if you can get
underneath it.

Oh yeah, piece of cake.

Whoo-hoo!
Caught a big one, dude!

[ Beeps ]

[ Grunts ]
You sure they didn't catch us?

- There he is!
- Look out!

- [ Roaring ]
- [ Screaming ]

[ Tires Squealing ]

He's going crazy!
Carter, stop!

[ Brakes Squeal ]

Uh, we need
to borrow your truck.

It's a national emergency.

[ Screaming ]
[ Roaring ]

Higher!

April!

[ Roaring ]
Jump!

Yuck, this stinks.

I need some air.

No, don't touch that!

[ Shouting ]

[ Grunting ]

Carter, get us back
to the lair. Fast!

Raphael!
Get the chemicals!

Oh, man!
I hope these are the ones
Donatello was talking about.

Cowabunga!

You won't get away, Turtles.

Whoa!

[ Crackling ]

No!

[ Crashing ]

[ Growling ]

He's about to go critical!

If Michelangelo and Raphael
don't get here soon,

this place is gonna be
a Turtle crater.

Oh, yeah, we got 'em.

Well, here goes.

[ Roaring ]

Oh, man. I gotta cut out
those cheesy sci-fi flicks.

I just had one weird dream.

[ All Laughing, Exclaiming ]
Welcome back, dude!

He's back to normal!

[ Panting ]
The picture
from the remote Microbot...

we placed
on the reptile
is coming in now.

[ Gasps ]
They've returned the mutated
one to normal, Lord Dregg.

He may look normal,
but I've permanently altered
his genetic structure.

And soon, I'll put it
to my advantage.

Well, your transformation
is stable, Leonardo.

No more
wild mutations.

[ Laughing ]
I can't believe it.

I'm a normal mutant again.

Isn't it great, Carter?

Yeah, sure.

Hey, hang in there, Carter.

If my calculations
are correct,

we may be able
to eliminate your mutation...

with a similar combination
of elements.

Yeah, well, I'm not sure
I'd want to return to normal.

Even if I could.

Maybe the only thing
that makes me special
is my mutation.

It is not your mutation
that makes you special, Carter.

It is you who make
your mutation special.

Whoa, Sensei.
That's deep.

Too deep for me.
