[April on TV]
And our final news item,

a sensational announcement
from the mayor.

Tonight, His Honor
will announce

his solution to end
all crime for good.

Yeah, sure.
Oh, right.
Do that.

We will be covering
the story live,

at City Hall, at 8:00.

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

Ah, boy.
Am I glad to be back.

What has happened,
Donatello?

You were going
to the library.

I did! That's where
some hoods jumped me!

In the public library?

I hope they were
quiet about it.

Hey, no joke!
There were five of 'em!

But I cleaned
their clocks.

Well, what did those
rude dudes want?

My library book.

[Raphael]
The Life Cycle of
the Arctic Amoeba?

Ha ha! Boy, the criminals
in this city really are
getting desperate.

Hmm. What time did April
say the mayor's meeting was?

[Mayor]
Fellow citizens, it gives me
great pleasure to present

the answer to our city's
crime problem.

Professor Ignatz
Mindbender.

[applause]

He's the solution to
our law and order problem?

Great. Now we can retire
and write our memoirs.

Professor Mindbender
is the world's greatest

expert on law enforcement.

Tell them about it,
Professor.

Now, then.

I shall explain my ideas,

and you will enjoy them
very much.

And that is an order!

[chuckles]
Just kidding!

Man. If this guy's for real,

I am a salamander.
[All] Shh!

The problem of crime
is caused by humans.

Therefore, the solution
is robots!

Namely, LEX,
which stands for Law
Enforcement Expediter.

LEX, what is the square root
of 11.3 zillion?

Why bother? You would not
understand the answer.

You see? You see?

A mathematical genius!

And not only that,
LEX can burrow under
the ground,

see through walls,
and fly!

Fly for the people,
LEX!

Whoa, compadres!

I hope chromedome's
got a pilot's license!

Even better,
LEX is bulletproof!

And he doesn't have to stop
for donuts and coffee!

So who needs policemen?

Anything else you'd like
to demonstrate for
the people, LEX?

Yes.

I am one bad dude.

[cheering, applause]

[Man]
Okay, everybody! Freeze!

In case you
haven't guessed,

this is a heist.

Hands up!

It's Pinky McFingers
and his g*ng!

If I can just contact
the Turtles...

Fix your face later.

Now get over there
with the others.

April, did you call us?

Where are you, April?

[Lefty]
Forget it, Bozo!

All your alarms
are out of order.

Let 'er rip, boys!

Ooh, man!
[chuckling]

Look at all that
beautiful moolah!

How are we doing,
Donatello?

Well, it's a good thing
April left the Turtlecom open.

Now we can
track her down.

She's in that building.

[Leonardo]
The Fifth Street Bank!

Come on, you mugs!
Hurry it up!

[All]
Turtle Power!

April! Are you all right?

Never mind me!
Look out for yourselves!

Hold it right there,
shellbacks!

Look! It's LEX!

Pinky McFingers,
Hard Rock McGurk,

and Potatoes Hennessy,
you are under arrest.

Says who! Blast that
junk pile, boys!

Whoa!

[yelling]

[siren]

Go directly to jail.

Do not pass "Go."

Whoa! Thanks for
the help, LEX dude!

Hey! I think he wants
our autograph!

You have just received
a parking ticket.

Your van is in
a loading zone.

[April on TV]
And so, with the capture
of the Pickles Preston g*ng,

every known criminal
in the city has been
rounded up

thanks to LEX.
I've seen enough.

Hey, come on!
What's the big idea?

She wasn't finished!

I'm sick of that
stupid robot!

Everywhere I look,
it's LEX this, LEX that.

We may as well just
take some time off.

Right. We could go
to Florida, and visit
the Punk Frogs!

Hmm. Maybe now I'll have
time to overhaul

our Turtlecom transmitter
over in Sewer Gate 16.

Hold on, guys!

What if something comes up
that a robot can't handle?

Quit bein' such
a gloom and doom dude.

What could go wrong?

I don't know! But I'm
gonna stick around,
just in case.

[Mindbender]
You have done
a fine job, LEX!

And now that all the major
criminals are behind bars,

we can start rooting out
the minor ones!

As you wish, Master.

Just a few small
adjustments,

and we will eliminate
every trace of wrongdoing
in the city!

There. How do you feel,
Officer LEX?

I feel you should button
your jacket pocket,
immediately.

That is a major
infraction.

Oh, h*, h*.
That's my LEX.

[Leonardo]
Thanks, April.
That was a great pizza.

You're welcome,
Leonardo.

You look so gloomy.
Are you lonesome without
all the other Turtles?

Well, the truth is,

I'm kind of worried.

[April]
About what?

Well, what if some
emergency does come up?

Can I handle it
without the other guys?

Why, of course you can.

Besides, that robot LEX
seems to have everything
under control!

[expl*si*n]
Whoa!

Walking on a
Don't Walk signal.

But--but...

Silence!

Hands up! You are both
under arrest.

When will you humans realize
that crime does not pay?

Warning shots for jaywalking?
You must have a loose fuse!

For sure! This city has
enough potholes already!

The prisoners will be put
on bread and water for
making wisecracks.

Do you have any last words?

I can think of a few,

but they're not appropriate
for television.

[Mayor]
Mindbender, that--

that talking teapot
of yours actually
arrested my mother!

Not to worry, Mister Mayor.

I've arranged that you
can visit her on Fridays.

But all she did
was tear a Do Not Remove
tag from her mattress!

Tag mutilation is a
serious criminal offense.

And you are wearing socks
that do not match!

I'm afraid LEX will have
to deal with this.

[Mindbender, on phone]
Officer LEX?
Return at once!

But, Master! I just arrested
two vicious jaywalkers.

Deal with them later!
This is urgent!

Consider yourselves
under arrest.

You await here
until I return.

Come on, April.
We're outta here!

[sighs]
I think I just set

the all-time
land speed record
for turtles!

A seven-foot robot
gone gonzo makes
a great incentive.

Let's see if we can
find out what's going on!

And in the latest
development of
the w*r on crime,

former Channel Six
reporter April O'Neil...

Former?
They fired me!

...has been
declared a fugitive
from the law!

Also, that dumpy little
green-faced sailor
who was with her.

Oh, great.

Give yourself up,
April.

After all, when you get out,

you can qualify for
senior bus fares!

Hoo hoo!

Oh, that Vernon!

Face it, April.
We're gonna need some help!

I'll try to contact
Donatello.

Calling Donatello!
Come in, Donatello!

Boy, I wasn't a minute
too soon on this transmitter.

The flux diode had
completely burned out.

I'll have to use the one
from my Turtlecom.

I can replace it when I
get back to the lair.

It's no use! I can't
reach Donatello!

What about
the other Turtles?

Aw, the swamp
is pretty far away.

But I can try!

[clears throat]
Leonardo calling Raphael!
Come in!

Aw, nothing but static.

Donatello must be working
on the transmitter!

Let me try!

Oh, it's no use!

That means I'll have to try
Donatello's long-range
scanner gadget!

Great! Let's do it!

There's just one catch.

Uh, I don't know
how to work it.

Come on, Leonardo,

I know you can
figure it out.

Yow! Whoa!

Boy, where is Donatello
when I really need him?

You don't need him.

Try again!

All right!

[April]
Ew, what's that?

[screams]

[speaking
alien language]

Uh, sorry.

It looks like
Donatello had it set

for the planet Vesuvio.

[beep]
You did it!

You found
the other Turtles!

[Turtlecom chirping]

Hey, guys, it's Leonardo.

Remember him?

Listen, we've got
a serious problem here.

What's the haps, compadre?

You ready for some of this
bodacious Florida sunshine?

Uh, not exactly.
Listen--

Hey, would you bring
my scuba mask when you come?

Will you please
listen to me?

Oh, no!

I've lost the frequency!

Whu-- umph!

Leonardo, are you all right?

I never felt better.

This gadget of Donatello's
gives me an idea.

Let's pay a call on REX-1.

Okay, the coast is clear.

Stay back.
[chugging]

It's a radio-controlled
Robomobile.

It looks like Mindbender
has the city covered
with those things.

Do you think
it can see us?

Let's find out.

[beeping]

Well, at least
it's not too bright.

It fell for the old
flying fedora gag.

Huh! Phew!
[panting]

That takes care of my jogging
for the next 11 months.

This is the warehouse
they stored REX in.

But how do we get in?

Really, you men
are so helpless.

Do you remember
where they kept him?

How could I forget?

He was one
of my biggest scoops.

There it is!
Under that sheet!

[sighs]
We could really use

some thunder and lightning
right about now.

Not unless you want
to carry me out of here.

Hah! What did I tell you?

It's our old pal REX-1!

The robot cop.

Actually,
he was kinda sweet.

Well, he was sure
sweet on you.

And if we're gonna
stop LEX,

it'll take another robot
to do it.

Thank heaven!
He still works!

Greetings.
My name is--

My name is--

Your name is REX.
Remember?

And I'm Leonardo
and this is April.

April?

Yes! I'm a reporter
with Channel 6 News.

You were nuts
about her, remember?

Nuts?
I remember nuts.

This is a nut.

[sighs]
Oh, no.

This is a nut.

I think maybe it's time
for another call to Donatello.

I think you're right.

Come on, REX.

[sing song]
We're going walkies.

[Donatello]
Ugh, this is taking
longer than I thought.

I'd better connect
my Turtlecom

to the auto-answer circuit

just in case the guys
try to contact me.

There.

At least if they call
I'll find out about it

sooner or later.

Donatello,
this is Leonardo.

Can you hear me?
[beeping]

I made contact.

Donatello, I need you
at the lair.

[Donatello]
Hi. I'm sorry I can't come
to the Turtlecom right now,

but if you leave your number
and the time you called,

I'll get right back to you.

Sure. Just call
April and me anytime...

at the city jail!

Now we're stuck.

Oh, I can't do a thing
without Donatello's smarts.

You've been doing
just great, Leonardo.

You mustn't give up now!

[sighs]
Maybe you're right.

Okay, big guy,
how do we get you
to remember?

Try the memory button.

Memory button?

Huh, that's a laugh.

Hey, there really is
a memory button!

All my memory circuits
have now been erased.

Oops! Hehe.

Wrong button.

Oh, no.

Where do we get a new memory
of his old memories?

Wait a minute.
I know!

Come on.

No, not this one.

Not this. No.

Got it!

I knew your
old news reports

would be good
for something someday.

I'll just play your report
on REX and let him watch it.

Then it'll be
in his memory again.

Good thinking!

How about a six-pack
of hydraulic fluid
while I watch?

Uh, sorry.

No drinking
while you're on duty.

I was...a policeman.

It's working!

He's remembering already.

[sighs]
I finally fixed
this transmitter.

[beeping]
Hmm.

Somebody must have been
trying to reach me.

I'd better play the message.

[Turtlecom chirping]

The Turtlecom.

Hey, maybe it's Leonardo
telling us when
he'll be coming down

to soak up
some rays with us.

Yo, dude, start talking.
It's your quarter.

Guys, I think
we've got trouble.

Listen to this...

[Leonardo]
Call April
and me anytime...

at the city jail!

Mondo bizarro.

Why should we call him
at the jail?

I don't know, but you guys
had better hurry back.

Do you think it worked?

I've got my fingers crossed.

[electricity crackling]

Leonardo. April.

We are together again.

REX! Your memory's
restored!

Welcome back, REX.

[LEX]
What a touching reunion.

You again!

Officer LEX always gets
his man...and woman.

But how did you find
this place?

[laughing]

I am the finest
self-contained

crime-detection unit
in the world.

And you are my prisoners.

[LEX]
Are you going to come quietly

or will I have to use force?

Let's try force first!

Uh, how about thumb-wrestling?

I am programmed
to serve and protect

April and the Turtles,
so back off.

That's telling him, REX.

Take care of that
muscle-bound hunk of junk.

You must be joking.

This primitive android
is no match

for a state of the art
cyborg like me.

I will give you primitive
right in your tin chops!

What...is...

happening to--
to me?

Brother REX, these humans
are our enemies.

I will serve
and protect you,
Master LEX.

You learn quickly
for a lowly android.

Are you thinking
what I'm thinking?

Right.
It's time to leave!

Stop in the name of LEX!

Oh! I've created
a Frankencop!

You have the right
to surrender at once.

You have the right
to admit your guilt.

And you have the right
to fall on your duff!

Ow!

Good work, Leonardo!

You will not find me
quite so easy, Turtle.

Don't count on it!

Mmmmph!

Now, now...it's not polite
to talk with your mouth full.

[LEX muttering]

Look! It's Michelangelo's
Cheapskate.

[LEX]
Halt, criminals!

Wow!

Let's get outta here!

Oh, boy.

I sure wish
I were Michelangelo.

He's the ace skateboarder.

Well, it's never
too late to learn.

Follow them, REX.

I will return
to Professor Mindbender.

Your wish is my command.

[Turtlecom chirping]

Leonardo, are you there?

April?
Yo, dudette?

Whoa, way weird.

All I can see
is the wall
in our TV room.

[Donatello, on radio]
I'm patching in
this news report

from Channel 6 News.

Check it out, guys.
It doesn't look too good.

And now,
it's my privilege

to bring you
that magnificent leader,

that wonderfully
caring human being,

Professor Ignatz Mindbender.

Law and order still has
a long way to go in this city.

That is why
I am declaring myself

Supreme Commander
of the entire region!

You are all under arrest.

[clamoring]

Are you sure we got rid
of REX and LEX?

Positive.

They'll be chasing
the Cheapskate,

and it can run forever
on autopilot.

Let's look for that
underground entrance
to City Hall.

I know it's around here
someplace.

Look!

[Leonardo]
Bingo!

Now all we have to do
is find Mindbender

and make him
stop LEX and REX.

Looks like
everything's bodacious.

Why am I suddenly talking
like Michelangelo?

Ahem.

Oh, no.
Oh, no.

Did you really think
that old "Cheapskate
on autopilot" trick

would work with me?

Look, there's something
going on down there.

Whoa, check it out!

People are splitting
from City Hall.

Maybe it's another speech
by the mayor.

Donatello!

Mind if I join you?

No problemo.

Let's find out
what's going on.

[Leonardo]
Keep trying, April.

You've gotta
make him remember.

I am trying...

but it's like
talking to a robot.

REX, don't you remember
the special feelings

we had for one another?

[electricity buzzing]

My name is REX-1.

My job is--

My job is--
[electricity buzzing]

Oh, it's no use!

His memory module
must be jammed.

We've gotta do something.

LEX'll be back at any moment.

Think!

What would Donatello do
in a case like this?

Donatello?
I don't know.

Maybe this.

Ah!
Huh!

Me, REX.
You, April.

My job is to serve
and protect April!

And?

And the Turtles.

Donatello was right.

Applied science
always triumphs.

Come on, guys.

We'd better
get out of here.

[Mindbender]
Why the big hurry,
my dear?

LEX, arrest these
law-breakers!

Yes, Commander.

Over my dismantled body.

REX, have you popped
your oscillator actuator?

Touch April
and I will pop you!

Whoa-a-a-a!

Leonardo, do something!

Why is it always
up to me?

Uh...hey, Professor!

Your shoes
are all scuffed!

Scuffed shoes
are a Class-1 felony.

Stop! You can't arrest me!

I created you!

There are no exceptions
to the rules.

I command you
to put me down!

That is an order!

Scuffed shoes
and resisting arrest,

that will be 30 years.

Enough!

Urrahh!

You green meddler!

You will pay for this!

Gee, I'm kinda broke.

Could you put it
on a credit card?

Leonardo, you made a funny.
Just like Raphael.

Hey, I did, didn't I?

[Turtles]
Turtle power!

Nice entrance, guys,

but we've got things
pretty much under control.

Leonardo and...REX-1.

Leonardo, you saved
the city from Mindbender

all by yourself!

Well, not quite.
I had some help.

Gosh, any seven-foot
police robot

could've done
the same thing.

[guzzling]

Glub, glub, glub, glub.

Hey, would you just cool it
with the anti-freeze, REX?

We don't have
a designated robot, okay?

Go on, Leonardo.
You may say it.

Say what?

[All]
I told you so.

Now you understand,
my student.

Once you were forced
to use them,

your hidden talents emerged.

You're right,
Master Splinter.

I guess we never know
what we're capable of

unless we try.

To Leonardo,
our Renaissance Turtle!

[cheering]

April, now that
I have been reactivated,

what will become of me?

I'm sure
the police department

would love
to have you back, REX.

Are you sure
you would not

rather have me serve
and protect you, April?

[Donatello clears throat]

Uh, folks...

REX, meet REXANNE.

I'm so very pleased
to meet you, REX.

Y-You are a--

Oh, gosh, uh--

Uh...what--
what's your job, REXANNE?

Why, to serve
and protect you,
of course.

[laughing]
