[MICHELANGELO]
Cowabunga!

Prepare to be
shell-shocked, dudes.

My pupils,
perhaps you could practice
your forms elsewhere.

Gotcha! Hai!

[TURTLES SHOUTING]

Oof!

My pizza!

[SIGHS]

Uh-oh.

Sorry, sensei.

We were just doing
some freeform--

Yes. In the living room
instead of the training room.

Since you seem
so full of energy,

I suggest you spend it
elsewhere,

preferably outside.

Aw, come on,
Master Splinter.

Now!

Yes, sir.
Right away, sir.

We got it.

[MAN]
Yes, yes.

It's working!

My evolution accelerator
is a success!

Way to go, brain.

[POWERING UP]

I've created the first
man-fish hybrid!

Ha ha ha ha!

Who are you?

I'm Dr. Polidorious,

but you can call me Pop.

Pop. Who am I?

A good question.

I think I'll name you Ray

after my second cousin
on my mother's side.

You jiving me or what?

That's the dumbest name
I've ever heard.

Funny, you're not supposed
to have an opinion.

You're just supposed
to agree with me.

But no matter.

The important thing
is you're the first
of my new race

of fish people!

What does that mean?

It's fiendishly simple.

You see, I feel mankind's
leaving the ocean
millions of years ago

was a big mistake,

and I intend to correct it.

By setting expl*sive charges
around the city,

I can sink it below
the ocean's surface

and provide a place
for my new race
of fish people to live!

That's where you come in, Ray.

I'd like you to plant
subterranean expl*sives

at strategic points
in the sewers.

Ha ha ha ha!

You're a real fruitcake, Pop,
you know that?

You must obey me.

I'm your master.

Together we could
make it possible

for decent fish to walk
the streets of the city.

Sure. Why not?

I've got nothing
better to do.

Ha ha ha ha!

[BURNE]
What have you got for
the lead story tonight, April?

Uh, two firemen
rescue a kitten
from a tree!

No film, I'm afraid.

That's it?

We'll need something
better than that!

I'll try somewhere else.

Go. Go, go, go, go!

April calling Turtles!

[LEONARDO]
Hey, it's April.

[RAPHAEL] Good.

Maybe she knows if anything
exciting is happening.

Leonardo here, April.

What's up?

I was hoping
you could tell me.

It's a slow news day.

Sorry,
but it's pretty quiet
down here, too.

Whoa! Check it out!

Who is it? Shredder?

Rocksteady and Bebop?

Leatherhead?

It's pizza!

A coupon for a free pizza!

What more could any
turtle ask for?

We'll get back to you
if anything exciting
happens, April.

Oh, well.

I guess I'm off to cover
the only story going on,

the opening of the new
Donald J. Lofty condo building.

[BEEPING]

Ray, how's it going,
my fine scaly friend?

Quit bugging me, Pop.

I got the first set
of expl*sives ready.

Super.

We make a great team,
don't we?

♪ Me and my turbo,
swimming down the Yangtze ♪

Ha ha ha ha!

Knock it off.

I'm gonna take
a look around up top,

see if
anything's happening.

Be careful.

I don't want you falling in
with the wrong crowd.

Just what this city needs:

another high-priced
yuppie reservation.

What a tacky place.

I wouldn't live here
if they paid me.

Don't worry, Vernon.
They won't.

Hey, no use hiding, guys.

I know you're down there.

Hello? Hello?

[GASP]

Whatever that is,
it isn't one of the Turtles.

Leonardo here.

Guys, I'm in the sewers

following what looks like
some kind of mutant.

It's not Rocksteady
or Bebop.

Looks like it's half-man,
half-fish!

Okay, April.

Don't do anything rash.

We'll home in
on your signal.

Don't worry about me.

I can take care of myself.

Aah!

Uh-oh.

Time to do
the turtle boogie!

This is where
the signal came from,

but April's not here.

There!

[RAPHAEL]
Looks like there's definitely

something fishy going on!

[DONATELLO]
Something got her.

Something with scales.

What, she got kidnapped
by a weigh station?

All right, let's fan out
and search for her.

[BEEPING]

[DOOR OPENS]

Who's this?

I'm April O'Neil
of Channel 6 News!

Sorry. I don't
give interviews.

Caught her snooping around

where I was
setting the expl*sive.

Figured
I'd bring her back here.

expl*sive?
What expl*sive?

This is an annoying
development.

However, I suppose
I must make
the best of it.

After all, I need
more volunteers

for my hybridization
experiments.

Heh heh heh heh.

You'll look
quite lovely, my dear,

after your genetic code
has been combined

with that of a tuna's.

April!

This is hopeless,
dudes.

We've been
looking for hours.

And we're going
to keep on looking

until we find her.

You know, Leonardo,
if all the sewers
in this city

were laid
end to end--

Yeah?

Well, it'd be a pretty
ridiculous sight,

but they'd probably
be long enough

to reach from here
to the moon.

Thanks for sharing,
Raphael.

I think what Raphael means

is that our chances
of finding April
in these sewers

are somewhat slim.

I know, but we have
to keep on searching.

Now, my dear, if you'll
just step inside the chamber,

I'll have you looking
fit as a flounder in no time.

If you don't mind,

I think I'd rather
make like a tree and leave.

Not so fast, lady.

Let go of me,
fish face.

Put her
in the chamber.

Okay. See you later.

Ah, there goes
a good fish.

Let me out of here!

I swear I'll never
eat seafood again.

Have you got the latest
batch of expl*sives set?

Yeah, no sweat.

You know, Pop,
I been thinking.

I don't want to be part

of a city
full of fish people.

I like my privacy.

Well,
there's gratitude for you.

I made you
what you are today.

If it wasn't for me,

you'd likely be stuffed
with crabmeat

on somebody's plate.

All right, all right!
I get the picture.

It's done.
I'm on my way back.

[BEEP BEEP]

[MICHELANGELO]
Man, I am one
tired turtle.

Yeah. We've gone
through these sewers

like Michelangelo
goes through pizza.

And no sign of April.

For that matter,
no sign of anybody.

Well, this isn't exactly

the hot new night spot
of the city.

Look up ahead.

It's not April. Maybe
it's a sewer worker.

Maybe. But I haven't seen
too many sewer workers

with fins and gills.

Man, I thought
I was ugly.

I feel better now.

I suppose you're looking
for that snoopy reporter.

April O'Neil?
What have you done with her?

Just try to find out.
Come on.

I'll lick you
with one fin
behind my back.

Boy, this guy's
asking for it,
you know?

And I say
we give it to him!

Aah!

Ohh! Boy, talk about
being shell-shocked.

Surprise, shell-backs.

Pop
has given me the powers

of all kinds of sea life,

including
the electric eel.

Oh, yeah? Well,
if you're anything like
a real electric eel,

you'll need to recharge
before you can do that again.

And we're not
giving you the chance.

[IN UNISON]
Turtle power!

Think so?

Check out the rest
of my arsenal.

How about the quills
of the scorpion fish?

Yeww!

Heads, I win.
Tails, you lose.

Whoa!

Oof.

Oh, he whipped me good.

Okay, squid for brains,

try these sais on for size!

Right back at'cha.

It's been real, guys,
but...I got to split.

Later.

After him!

Like, where'd he go?

He's used ink
to cloud the water,

just like a squid.

Well,
it wouldn't take much.

It's not exactly
the clearest water
in the world to start.

We've got to find out
what he did with April.

Yeah. He's probably
a Pisces

working for scale.

For someone who's all wet,

he sure
hung us out to dry.

I hate to say this,

but it looks like
we're down the drain

without a plunger.

[BURNE]
The ceremony's
about to begin.

Where's April?

She's gone.

Personally, sir,
I don't think

she's being
very professional.

[CHEERING]

What's that?

It's Donald J. Lofty.

He's here to begin
the opening ceremonies.

And my star reporter
is nowhere in sight!

Even my ulcers
are getting ulcers!

Oh! Oh! Oh-oh!

[POP]
In a few minutes,

I'll have undone the work

of millions of years
of evolution. Ha ha!

No, no. Don't thank me.

Hang me for a halibut!

One of the positronic
circuits shorted out.

Excuse me. It'll just
take a minute to fix.

If I can just adjust
this two-way radio

to the Turtles'
frequency.

What are you doing?

I just thought
I'd put on some music.

Well, forget it.

It's time to fulfill
your destiny

as the latest of my
breed of fish folk.

Ah-ah-ah. I wouldn't
try it, Miss O'Neil.

This isn't a water p*stol.

Now, please,
into the accelerator

before my electrical
bill goes sky-high!

And now, prepare
to be scaled down.

Ooh, ha ha
ha ha ha ha ha!

[DONATELLO]
Hey, I'm getting a signal.

It's reading steady.

I can hone in on it
real easy.

It must be from April.

She must have found
some transmitting device,

and rigged it up
to our frequencies.

Talk about clever.

Whoa! We should
make that dudette

and honorary Turtle.

Come on! Let's go!

[POP]
Ha ha ha ha ha!

Let me out of here!

[MICHELANGELO]
Hold that pose, sleazoid!

Oh, man, not another
mad scientist.

I'm not mad.

A little peevish, maybe.

I am Dr. Polidorius,

and soon the entire world
will know my name.

Yeah? Maybe.

But I'll bet they won't
be able to spell it.

All right,
Dr. Pollyanna.

That's Polidorius!

Whatever. Open
that new-wave refrigerator

and let April out.

I don't think so,

and neither will you
if you look behind you.

Come on,
Dr. Polyester.

Polidorius!

Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Well, we're not gonna
fall for that old trick.

Then how about
this old trick?

Whoa!
Whoa!

Oh, that old trick we'll
fall for every time.

Good work, Ray.

Now to make sure
they don't interfere.

Oh, boy.
Some heroes we are.

Now to create
the next member

of my underwater breed.

Big deal.

Help! Help!

Aah!

April, you're a--

a fish.

[GASP]

Ohh!

Aah!

A gorgeous job
if I do say so
myself.

Are you kidding?
I'm hideous!

Nonsense. You'll
be getting fan mail
from dolphins

in no time.

And as for you four,
I'll keep you around

and study
your genetic code.

You never can tell
when a new DNA helix
might come in handy.

Hee hee!
Isn't she beautiful?

Yeah. Swell.

Now go on like a good fish

and finish planting
your expl*sives.

Yeah.
I'm out of here.

expl*sives?

What's he doing
planting expl*sives
under the city?

It's very simple and yet
stunningly ingenious!

When these expl*sives
go off,

this city will be called
New Atlantis!

I'll repopulate it
with mutated fish people.

And I'll be mayor,
of course.

Not if we've got anything
to say about it, bud.

And we got lots
to say about it.

I think it's time to beat
a strategic retreat.

Hey, come back here,
Dr. Polly-Wolly-Doodle.

That's Polidorius!

Oh, we lost him.

That guy is slipperier
than an eel.

Are you okay, April?

Oh, sure. I'm great.

Just call me Tina Tuna.

Don't worry.
We'll find a way

to change you back
to a human,

though personally
I think you might
look better

with green skin
and a shell.

It seems pretty obvious

that Dr. Poly--er--ensaturated
or whatever his name is

means business.
We've got to stop him.

Yeah, and we better
haul shell to do it.

According
to this schedule,

he's gonna set off
the expl*sives at noon.

We've got to disarm them.

Come on.
There's no time to lose.

There never is.

[BEEPING]

Ha. There. It's disarmed.

That makes
four expl*sives
we've disconnected.

Well, there's still one set

at the base
of the new Lofty Condo.

It's almost noon. We'll
never get there in time.

Our only hope
is to find that crazy
Dr. Polytechnic

Polidorius.

Whatever. Before
he uses his detonator

to set off the expl*sive.

Oh, sure. That'll be easy.

We've only got 3,000 miles
of sewers to search

in 15 minutes!

Wait. Maybe I can help.

Dr. Polidorius
has given me the powers

of certain sea animals.

Uh, I hate
to burst your bubble,

but that sounds
more like sonar.

Of course.

Dolphins have sonar.
They can track anything.

Including Dr. Polyurethane?

Hey, why not? They do it
in other fish stories.

Follow me!

[GRUNTING]

[IN UNISON]
Turtle power!

You've found us.

I knew I should have
given her the speed
of a sea snail instead.

The jig's up, so come along
quietly, Dr. Polynesia.

Whale them but good.

I'm
setting off the b*mb.

Prepare for a primo
Turtle thrashing.

Yeah? Well, just check out
my blowfish impression.

[INHALING]

Whoa!
Whoa!

They've disarmed all of my
explosions except one.

The skill.

There are worse places

for my fish people to live

than an underwater
luxury condo.

Ha ha! I love it.

April's missed
the most expl*sive
story of the week.

Aah!
Aah!

Oh! I've heard
of outdoor plumbing,

but this is ridiculous.

I've won!

Ray and April
will be the start

of my new aquatic race.

They can have
the penthouse suite.

You're all washed up,
Polidorius!

Let me go!

[ALARM BLARES]

You fool!

You've activated
the emergency floodgate.

It's water from
the sinking condominiums!

We'd better get
to some nice, dry
sewers, and fast.

April, bring
Dr. Parlez-vous.

It's Poli--

Alone at last.

Man, I thought
I'd never leave.

Man, I'd say
these condominiums
are finito.

Oh, I'm ruined!

Well, look
on the bright side,
Mr. Lofty.

They'll make
a swell aquarium.

[GASP]
That's it.
An aquarium!

I'll make a fortune!

Oh, you Turtles
have done it again.

How can I
ever thank you?

By getting us back
to the Unbridled
Technology Building.

So we can make
this doofus doctor

turn out friend April
back to normal.

Boy, am I fatigued.

Any of you guys
know the way

to the nearest sea bed?

Hey, come back!

Was it something I said?

Oh, well. It's home.

Good thing Dr. Polyhedron
was able to use his machine

to change April back
to her human form.

Yeah. Otherwise,
she'd be out

fishing for a new
job right now.

What do you suppose
happened to old Ray?

I have a feeling

we haven't heard
the last of him,
Michelangelo.

Hey, hey, turn it up.
I want to hear this.

And the million-dollar
condo complex

built by Donald J. Lofty,

which sank into the ocean
earlier today,

has been converted
into an aquarium
and underwater restaurant

by the clever financier.

You know, sometimes
I think we're in
the wrong business.

Don't worry about it,
Raphael.

Yeah.
He may make the bucks,

but we get to be
the heroes.

After all,
he's just a big fish

in a little pond.

Oh, I can't
believe you.
Give me a break!
