[THUDDING]

What in blazes?

[ALL GRUNTING]

Oh, dude.

How much longer
do we have to do this?

You know what they say.

No pain, no gain.

Hey, fellas, do you mind?

Master Splinter and I can't
meditate with all this racket.

You don't have to
ask me twice.

[♪♪♪]

Master Mogo-san?

Yes, Hamato Yoshi.

It is I, your sensei.

I have chosen
this telepathic means

of communicating with you
for a request.

Tell me and I will obey.

I will be arriving today
by sailing vessel

at precisely 3:00.

I humbly ask that you meet me
at Pier 17.

I would be honored, sensei.

Here, sensei.
Slip into this coat.

I leave the lair
so rarely.

Such an old-fashioned style
might attract attention.

Right, like his rat tail
wouldn't?

And this hat
tops off the outfit perfectly.

Thank you,
my students.

You sure you don't want us
to come along?

No, Leonardo.

This is something I must do
by myself.

This is April O'Neil
here at the Mid-City Bank,

scene of the most recent theft

committed by the notorious
Black Heart g*ng,

who have been terrorizing
the city

for weeks with their vicious
criminal rampages.

With me is Mr. Crocker,

president of the bank.

These films, taken by
the bank security video camera,

show the g*ng's
incredible ninja skills.

This is the ninja g*ng's
leader,

known only as Yoku.

The Mid-City Bank
has posted a reward.

If you have any information
as to the g*ng's whereabouts,

please contact the police.

I have a better idea.

We'll find that Black Heart g*ng
ourselves

and put them
to work for us.

My thought precisely,
Krang.

With a g*ng of highly-skilled
ninjas like those at my side,

you and I
could rule this city.

I'll head for the surface
immediately.

Uh, wait, boss.

We wanna come with you.

Yeah, we're just itching
for a good fight.

The only thing that's
making you two baboons itch

is not taking a bath.

Now, stop pestering me,
and make yourselves useful.

Uh, what are we gonna do,
Rocksteady?

I don't know,
Bebop.

Let's think about it.

Do we have to think?

It makes my brain hurt.

Mine too.

But a rhino's gotta do
what a rhino's gotta do.

[♪♪♪]

SPLINTER:
Three o'clock precisely.

As always, my sensei
is meticulously punctual.

Hamato Yoshi?

Are you here?

These ancient eyes can barely
see in this darkness.

I am here,
Master Mogo-san.

And I am indeed honored.

What is this?

Are you in some sort
of disguise, Hamato Yoshi?

If only that were the case,
Master.

But h-how?

I will explain it all.

But first, sensei, tell me
what brings you to these shores.

A mission of utmost importance,
my student.

Behold the sacred white belt
of the Mogo clan.

I plan to pass it on
to my grandson Yoku.

The same Yoku
who came to these shores

to study with me
some two years ago?

Precisely. I will need
your help in finding him.

It might be difficult.

Once his schooling
was completed,

he vanished
without a trace.

Oh, he will be
impossible to find

in a city of this size.

Do not lose faith, sensei.

Come with me
to the sewers.

I am certain the turtles
can locate your grandson.

Sewers? Turtles?

SPLINTER:
I will explain on the way.

ROCKSTEADY:
Boy, is Shredder
gonna be surprised

when he finds out
we painted this place.

Yeah, and such a cheery shade
of yellow.

Yellow? Ooh!
I'm painting it blue.

Hey, forget it, man.

[SNORTS]

Blue is for wimps.

Well, yellow is for-- For...
yellowbellies.

Yellow, yellow, yellow.

Oh, yeah--? Whoa!

[SCREAMS]

I could live
with green.

Yeah, green ain't bad.

Even if it is
the color of turtles.

Michelangelo, Raphael
and Leonardo.

I am honored.

It is we who are honored,
Master Mogo-san.

Sensei has told us
of your incredible ninja skills.

[CHUCKLES]

Alas, they have
diminished with age, I fear.

Ta-da!

I prepared a tray of sushi
for our-- Whoa!

Wow.

I don't believe it.

He made a sushi shish kebab.

As you know,
I have journeyed here

in search
of my grandson Yoku.

The one who skipped out
on Master Splinter?

Uh, I'm afraid he's made
a bad career choice.

Take a look at this.

APRIL:
This is the ninja g*ng's
leader,

known only as Yoku.

My own grandson.

Involved
with a criminal g*ng.

How could he dishonor the name
of the venerated Mogo clan?

Rest assured, the turtles and I
will personally investigate

these charges.

I will accompany you.

No, Master,
it is best that you remain here.

Come, my students.
We must hurry.

[♪♪♪]

APRIL:
All jewelry establishments

are warned to be on the lookout

for the Black Heart g*ng.

Yeah, just let them
try it.

Yeah, nobody's busting in here
while we're on duty.

[GUARDS SCREAM]

Hold it right there.

I'll be happy
to hold this for you.

You won't get me
with that ninja stuff.

[GRUNTS]

Oh.

Those young ninjas are even
better-trained that I'd hoped.

I can put their skills
to excellent use.

YOKU:
Okay, now hurry and load these
jewels on to the getaway truck.

The boss
is a very impatient type.

Well, how would you know?
No one's ever even seen him.

Yes, he is a mystery,
but his reputation precedes him.

Let them have
their jewels and baubles.

It can't compare with the power
this ninja g*ng can bring me.

BOY:
All right, Yoku.

We're ready to roll.

YOKU:
Then hit it.

There were four of them,
you say?

It might as well have been
a dozen.

I mean, they were doing all
kinds of fancy chop-socky moves.

"Chop-socky"?

Uh, you know, uh, ninja stuff.

I knew it all along.

The Black Heart g*ng.

Shredder?
What is he doing here?

I'd better tell the turtles
about this.

DONATELLO:
What's up, April?

There's been another break-in
at the jewelry warehouse.

It looks like the Black Heart
g*ng is behind this one too.

And I also saw Shredder.

Hm. What would Shredder
be doing with them?

Wait'll we tell old Mogo-san
that his grandson is--

[MUFFLED]

I fear we are not at liberty
to discuss the matter.

MICHELANGELO:
Was it something I said?

Master Mogo-san
would not wish the world

to know of his sacred mission

or his shame.

Now, proceed to the jewelry
warehouse with utmost haste.

LEONARDO:
Right, Master.

I know a shortcut.

[♪♪♪]

DONATELLO:
Leonardo, look out!

[♪♪♪]

Hang on, everyone.
We're gonna crash.

Not if my hydraulic lifts
have anything to say about it.

[TIRES SQUEALING]

Whoa. Whoever that was
sure was in a major hurry.

[TIRES SCREECH]

[TIRE POPS]

Oh, great. A blowout.

That was the ninja g*ng's
getaway truck.

It's filled with stolen jewelry.

Come on, help me
change the flat tire

so we can go after them.

Sorry, April, no can do.

We've gotta follow that truck
before the trail gets cold.

Mother was right.
The age of chivalry is dead.

[♪♪♪]

SHREDDER:
Allow me to introduce myself.

I am Oroku Saki,

better known as Shredder.

The scariest thing about
that costume is your face.

[BOYS LAUGHING]

I warn you.

Do not mock me.

Let's get him.

I warned you.

[SCREAMS, GRUNTS]

[SCREAMS, GRUNTS]

SHREDDER:
I trust now

you'll take me seriously.

Deadly serious, man.

Good. I have
a business proposition to make.

I'd like you and your g*ng

to break into
a certain government building

and steal some top-secret maps.

So, what's in it
for us?

A supply of Dimension X
weapons

unlike anything this planet
has ever seen.

What is a Dimension X?

A parallel universe
with undreamed-of technology,

such as this paralyzer ray.

Oh, wow.

Pretty heavy.

[CHUCKLES]

Merely a sample
of what goodies await you.

Say yes and it's yours

as a token
of our new partnership.

I'll have to
check it out with the boss.

But I think
you've got yourself a deal.

ROCKSTEADY:
Bebop, I gotta admit

we've done a real good job
of painting this place.

And we were real neat
about it too.

[BEEPING]
Hey, it's Shredder.

Yeah, boss.
What is it?

Let me speak to Krang. Now!

Sure thing.
Right away.

[SQUISHY FOOTSTEPS]

It's for you,
Krang, sir.

Hand it over,
you cretinous klutz.

[DEVICE BEEPS]
Yes, Shredder.

What can we do for you?

Those maps of the secret
nuclear testing sites

will soon be ours.

The fish has swallowed
the bait.

[LAUGHS]

A word of advice:

Be careful not to get caught
on your own hook.

DONATELLO:
Well, we've covered
the entire city,

and still no sign of Yoku.

Hold on.
I found something.

RAPHAEL:
It's that getaway truck

that nearly creamed us.

[TIRES SCREECH]

DONATELLO:
Let's check it
for the stolen jewelry.

Ah, too late, fellas.

Exhibit A is gone.

But I found something else,
dudes.

Scope this out.

RAPHAEL:
It's that creep Yoku.

MICHELANGELO:
Yeah, and he's making
some kind of deal

with the Shredmeister.

We'll just
break up that meeting.

The turtles.

Whenever you least expect us,
Tin Grin.

[♪♪♪]

ALL:
Whoa!

Au revoir,
you meddlesome reptiles.

Oh, he got away.

So it is you.

Our old buddy Yoku.

What kind of a deal
were you making with Shredder?

So, what is it your business?

You don't realize what kind
of a ruthless fiend

you're dealing with.

I know exactly
who I'm dealing with.

And I wish you turtle-faced
turkeys would butt out.

Turkeys?

Why, I ought to...

Ought to do what?

And the same goes
for the rest of you bozos.

Now, I'm warning you guys.

Keep your beaks
out of my business.

[DOOR OPENS]
Master Yoshi?

What are you
doing here?

I see there is still
much to teach you, my student.

[YOKU GRUNTS]

You're coming with us,
Yogi.

That's Yoku, uh, and where
are you taking me?

You'll see.

Or should I say,
you won't see?

Good work, fellas.

You captured Yoku Mogo.

We sure did.

Where are you
taking him?

And what happened
to Shredder?

Sorry, April.
We can't talk about it.

But it's the biggest story
of the year.

You've got to tell me.

No way, dudette.

Our turtle lips
are sealed.

[TIRES SCREECH]

I'm gonna find out what my good
friends the turtles are up to.

LEONARDO:
All right, Yoku. We're here.

Good, then take off
this stupid blindfold.

[CHUCKLES]

Your wish
is our command.

Grandfather.

What are you doing here?

I came to pass on the sacred
white belt of the Mogo clan.

But you have dishonored
the family name.

Please, Grandfather.

Try to understand.

I have tried.

Hamato Yoshi,

I order you to take this belt
and burn it.

But this
is a priceless heirloom.

Better it be consumed
by flames

than passed on to one
who would disgrace it.

As you wish, sensei.

Now see what
you've caused?

Why don't you
mind your own business?

[ALL COUGHING]

LEONARDO:
I can't see.

[ALL CHOKING AND COUGHING]

Hey, where'd he go?

Come on,
we gotta find him.

APRIL:
Why are the turtles
acting like this?

They've never kept secrets
from me before.

It's Yoku.

Well, if they won't tell me
what they're up to,

I'll just have to
find out for myself.

SHREDDER:
Yes, Krang.

Things are going splendidly.

Those maps
will soon be ours.

KRANG:
Well, step on it.

Ooh, I can hardly wait
to get my hands

on those nuclear installations.

If I had hands.

Patience, Krang.

Remember, all things come
to he who waits.

SPLINTER:
Well, did you find young Yoku?

No, Master.
He made a clean getaway.

As if anything could be called
"clean" in these sewers.

Man, it's punks like Yoku
that really tick me off.

I mean, they've got
everything going for them

and boom, they blow it.

Raphael,
you should not be so quick

to judge others.

Human beings
are like onions.

They have many layers.

And just like onions,
they can make you cry.

[♪♪♪]

APRIL:
The leader of the ninja g*ng

seems to be going over some
sort of plan with the others.

If I can just get closer,

I might hear
what they're saying.

[BEEPS]

Oh, no.

[BEEPING]

April. April, come in.

Not now.

April! What's wrong?

Everything.

Spill it, sister. Why were you
snooping around, huh?

Hey, she's April O'Neil,
that TV reporter.

Well, I say we take her
to the hideout and lock her up.

I got a better idea.

We can use her news van
to get us

into that government building.

Put her behind the wheel.

BOY:
You are way smart, Yoku.

That's why the boss
put me in charge.

Okay, sister, move it.

[CAR STARTS, TIRES SCREECH]

[♪♪♪]

THOMPSON:
Where is April O'Neil?

She's supposed to go on the air
with that ninja g*ng story

in exactly two minutes.

Don't worry, chief.

I'm taking over for her.

You?
That's right.

You see, I know
what she's been up to.

Up to? What? What? What?

Tune in to my telecast

and you'll hear
the entire sleazy story.

DONATELLO:
Let's check out
April's news report.

Maybe she'll have
some information on Yoku.

Good evening.

This is your intrepid reporter,
Vernon Fenwick.

And have I got news for you.

ALL:
Vernon?

Where's April?

Where is April O'Neil,
you may be asking?

This closed-circuit videotape

will tell the whole story.

This is a top-security
government building,

and this is a g*ng
of ninja hoodlums

who have just broken in and
stolen some high-level maps.

Hey, it's Yoku
and the Black Heart Ninja g*ng.

VERNON:
Maps showing the location

of every nuclear m*ssile site

in the country.

And most shocking of all,

driving the getaway vehicle

was none other than Channel 6's
very own ex-news reporter,

April O'Neil.

Yoku has April.

We've gotta help her.

[♪♪♪]

It is too painful for me
to remain here, my student.

I wish to return to my homeland
on the next ship.

As you wish, sensei.

Here are the maps,
just as we arranged.

No, Yoku.

Butt out, lady.

And as promised,

the Dimension X armaments.

Use them in good health.

Pretty wicked.

The boss is gonna love these.

[CHUCKLES]

And Krang will love these.

[CACKLING]

LEONARDO:
For the last time, mister,

where is Yoku Mogo's hideout?

I-- I-- I don't know
any Yoku.

I-- I run
an honest business.

[SIGHS]
It's not use, fellas.

He's too frightened
of Yoku and his g*ng

to tell us anything.

It looks like we'll just have to
check out this place on our own.

Mondo notion, dude.

I'll start in the kitchen.

[ALL CLANGING]

[GRUNTING]

MICHELANGELO:
Uh-oh.

Michelangelo.

What did you do?

I solved the mystery.

LEONARDO:
The Black Heart Ninja g*ng.

Let's take them.

Turtles fight with honor!

RAPHAEL:
Yeah, go, green machine!

MICHELANGELO:
Cowabunga!

[♪♪♪]

APRIL:
Some people have
a nose for news.

I have toes for news.

[YELLS, GRUNTS]

These guys
are too good.

We'll have to fight dirty.

Is there
any other way?

Let's see
what this baby can do.

[TURTLES SCREAMING]

Boy, talk about
your last-minute turnarounds.

Excellent work, lads.

The bank president dude?

You're the boss?

The same.

I had the perfect cover

using that stupid g*ng of th*gs

to bilk this city dry

until you meddlesome turtles
interfered.

Finish them off.

Say sayonara, you wimps.

Hiya!

[ALL GRUNTING AND SHOUTING
INDISTINCTLY]

It's Yoku.
And he's helping us.

RAPHAEL:
Will miracles never cease?

I'll need your help,
fellas.

I can't do this
single-handed.

You got it, dude.

[♪♪♪]

[ALL GRUNTING AND YELLING]

I give up.

Whoa!

[EXPLOSIONS]

And so, thanks to the
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles,

Mr. Crocker, the would-be
crime tsar of the city,

is now under wraps

along with his notorious
Black Heart g*ng members.

So, uh, what gives, Yoku?

I mean, first you're one of them
and now you're one of us.

I'll explain later.

First I must speak
to my grandfather.

Ah, too late, guy.

He's sailing to Japan
even as we speak.

YOKU:
You've gotta get me to the pier
now.

Call the police. They'll know
what to do with those guys.

You're calling
from the Gobi what?

You heard me.

The Gobi Desert.

Those maps Yoku gave me
are phonies.

You traded those priceless
Dimension X weapons

for a bunch of worthless maps?

How did I ever get teamed up
with an imbecile like you?

Gee, I ain't used to hearing
the boss get chewed out.

Uh, me neither.

Usually it's us.

There's only one thing to do.

Why, you-- You--

You imbecilic bug-brained
idiots.

Look what you've done.

Yeah,
that's more like it.

MOGO:
Farewell, my student.

I wish my mission
had ended more joyously.

But it is not meant to be.

As you yourself
have taught me, Master,

tragedy is a part of life.

YOKU: Grandfather, wait.
Yoku?

I have something important
to tell you.

My heart cannot take
any more unhappy news.

Please forgive me
for lying to you,

but I couldn't risk
the entire mission.

Mission?
I'm a secret government agent.

My assignment was to infiltrate
the Black Heart g*ng

and flush out
their leader.

Yoku, my joy
would be boundless

except for one regret.

What regret is that,
Grandfather?

That I ordered
Hamato Yoshi

to destroy the sacred
white ninja belt.

Are you referring to this
sacred white ninja belt,

Master Mogo-san?

You didn't burn it?

Deep in my heart,

I knew that young Yoku
was a man of honor.

But all that smoke?

Sometimes Michelangelo's
old socks

serve a useful purpose.

I thought that smoke
smelled familiar.

[♪♪♪]
