[Donnie] Previously on

Tales of the Teenage
Mutant Ninja Turtles...

My brothers don't understand me
at all.

They don't like robotics
or anime or monster movies.

So when we get attacked
by a mutant snapping turtle,

somehow it's my thing.

I mean, it is kind of cool,

but I've got stuff to do!

Me and Irma
are entering Metalhead

into a robotics competition
with Wingnut,

who just got kidnapped.

My brothers are who knows
where, and now I'm sneaking

into a creepy abandoned factory
where I find...

Guess what? Mutant monsters!

Could this day get any worse?
Probably!

Ugh! Hey... new friends.

It's nice to meet you?

I'm sure attacking Ray Fillet
and kidnapping Wingnut

was just some kind
of wacky misunderstanding.

[growls] We will take her blood.

-[Wingnut] What?!
-It's okay! Don't panic!

Don't panic?!
They're horrible monsters!

Nope. [laughs nervously]
Not monsters.

They are friendly mutants.
They're just like us.

Just like us?
We are cute and adorable.

Um, me especially?

They want to take my blood!

Maybe they just meant, like,

they were blood relatives,
you know?

And they're going to take you
for a mutants' weekend or...

Yeah, okay, I got nothing.
This, this is bad.

Get me out of here, Donnie!

Stop!

They are traitors!

The purple one is the smart one.

-[Donnie] What?
-The box said so.

And he can help us.

-[hisses]
-[grunts]

Yeah! Sure!
I love to help people.

Just tell me how!

Blood.

[growls]

[grunts]

[Donnie screams]

-Uh!
-Ew.

Are you chewing me?

[alarm beeping rapidly]

Ugh! Ew!

-[Wingnut] It's wet.
-[heavy footsteps stomping]

-[snarling]
-[hissing]

Donnie, run! Go, get help!
I'll be fine!

-[Wingnut whimpers]
-Okay. I'll be back, I promise!

Wait, you agreed
to that really quickly.

Shouldn't you try
and free me again?!

[Wingnut whimpers]

[roaring]

[grunts]

-No!
-[grunts]

[metal clanks]

Did I mention that I have
low blood sugar?

I promise, you are not gonna
want any of that.

Find him.

[hisses]

[howling]

[howling echoes]

-[siren blaring in distance]
-[thunder rumbling]

[Raph] Where's the menu?

No menu.
There's only two options here.

You either get pizza

-or you don't.
-What? How does that work?

[Mikey] It's whatever they
feel like making that day.

It changes all the time.

[Raph] Whoa, hold up.
What if it doesn't

have the toppings I want?

Or what if it's got toppings

that I don't want on it?

You could just take them off?

Are you insane?

Hmph.

The flavors seep
into the cheese.

You can't mess around with that.

[Mikey] Should we get a slice
for Donnie?

[Raph] Why?
So he can yell at us some more?

What's his problem, anyway?

I don't know.

Maybe he's just stressed out
about his...

Uh, what was his thing again,
with the robot?

I honestly can't remember.

Huh. Maybe he's right.

Maybe we don't care about the
stuff that's important to him.

Okay, I agreed
to give you Turtles free pizza

'cause of what you did,
saving the city and all that.

-But this is too much.
-Wait, what?

One of you comes in here
every day,

freaking everyone out,

and don't get me started
about what you did

at the dumpsters out back.
I'm done!

-Lousy, freeloading tortoises.
-Uh, sir?

We can still get some slices,
right? Sir?

Have any of you ever been here
before?

-Nah.
-Never.

Huh. That's so weird.

[Rahzar] Hello, my brother.

Stay away! Stay away!

You're probably very confused
right now.

I am so confused.

No, for real, why would he
think we've been here before?

It doesn't make any sense.

You know,
what doesn't make sense

is this guy refusing
to serve us.

Okay, he's a hater.

I mean, a mutant hater.

Maybe Mondo Gecko came here?
That dude can eat.

-[roars]
-He said it was a Turtle.

-But that can't be. I mean...
-[whimpers]

Donnie wouldn't
have come on his own.

Unless... No.

I mean, he was a giant
monster and he exploded.

Why is everyone looking at us?

We're famous, man, embrace it.

[screaming]

Ugh. Huh. It's him!

You should not be here!
It's not fair!

[car alarm blaring]

We shouldn't be here?!

You for real blew up, man!
We saw you!

This is ours!

This is where we get the pizza!

You traitors
find your own place!

Traitors?!
What are you talking about?

Hey, fine, you can have
this place, okay?

-The service wasn't great!
-[grunts]

[grunting]

[grunting]

[clanging]

Who are you?
Where did you come from?

We know you!
We saw what you did!

[grunts]

What did we do?

You betrayed us all!

[clangs]

[grunting]

Yah!

-[beeping]
-[grunts]

Wait, are you beeping?

I need... the pizza pie!

I have to take it back! [roars]

-He's gonna...
-Wait!

[Leo] Explode. Again.

Oh, come on!

-It got in my nose!
-This isn't fair!

They keep popping
before we really get into it.

It's like they're chickening out
but, you know, forever.

-[growling]
-Guys?

[clangs]

[thunder crashing]

I am having the weirdest case
of déjà vu right now.

Our name is Rahzar.

Or, if you have a shell covered
with spikes,

then your name is Tokka.

None of the others seem smart
enough to find this place,

especially the worm.

You are a mutant

created in this lab by the Maker

and destined to expire
here as well.

There have been many of us,

going back years
as far as we can tell.

I was not the first Rahzar
to record this message,

nor will I be the last.

With every new one of us,
we learn more.

We learn faster.

I will teach you
what was taught to me.

How to help us escape the tubes,

how to use the watches.

And I will teach you
of the traitorous Mutanimals.

Find these other mutants,

especially the Turtle
known as "Donatello,"

and perhaps we can break
this torturous cycle

the Maker has condemned us to

and finally be free.

All we require is the blood
of a stable mutant.

What happened?

-Why did it...
-[growls]

You may not touch the box!

-[grunts]
-[whimpers]

[grunts]

Stop! You don't have to do this!

-I saw you on the video!
-That was not me!

-That was Rahzar!
-Then who are you?

Rahzar!

-[whimpers, grunts]
-[growls]

[grunting]

[rapid dinging]

[Donnie yelling]

Look! The video said
you needed help.

You needed my help.

Rahzar said you could free us.

You were the smart one.

What? Why is it always,
"Oh, Donnie's the smart one?"

Why isn't it ever
I'm the cool one,

or I'm the one
with the great music taste,

or I'm the one
who has the coolest...

The box said it was the glasses.

Lots of people have glasses.

That's not just...

Oh!

I get it, you're learning
from the video screen.

What else did the box tell you?

That you and your brothers
are evil

and would let us rot,

and that we must
make you help us!

Oh. Maybe we should just focus
on me being smart?

[yelps]

[growling]

[whimpers, growls]

Down, boy!

[roars]

[growls]

[howling]

[thunder crashing]

[hisses]

Sit! Stay!
It's just the zoomies!

Okay, think, think,
Donnie, think.

What would...
What would smart Donnie do?

-[Mikey] Ouch!

This place is giving me
the creeps, I...

I think we might have crossed
over into Philly or something.

Do you even know
where Philly is?

Yeah, well, I heard
time and space

work differently
on Staten Island.

If Donnie was here,
he'd back me up on this.

-Shh!
-[thunder rumbling]

[low growling]

He's going inside.

That's probably
where his evil lair is.

[Raph muffled]
If you don't move your hand,

I'm going to bite it off.

I still don't know how
these guys keep showing up

after they've already exploded.

Let's get some answers.

[babbles mockingly]

Yeah, yeah, okay. Just go, man.

[gasps] Ow!

♪ Eerie music playing ♪

Oh man,
Donnie would love this place!

Look, there's science stuff

and big tanks
with whatever this is.

There's also
a big giant monster in here.

-Think he'd like that?
-Probably,

You know, depending
on the monster, I guess.

Like, is it more Dracula
or more Frankenstein?

Or maybe some anime monster.
Those things are weird.

[whispering]
What is wrong with you two?

This is clearly the signal
for stealth mode!

We've been over this
so many times!

Donnie would have known that!

-Donnie's not here, man!
-[growling]

What the heck was that?

Honestly, I don't feel
any real strong need

to find out more about
this place, the giant turtle,

or whatever
that slimy thing was...

Sometimes you gotta know
when to walk away.

That's wisdom.

Let's follow it!

For real?
What is-what is wrong with you?

-[gasps]
-[yelps] Raph!

You! Stupid exploding turtle!

[growls]

[chuckles nervously]

Ah!

-[yelps]
-[growls]

You are not the smart one.

That hurts.

Like, emotionally.

[growls]
But your blood can be useful.

You will be taken to the Maker.

Maker? Someone made you guys?

No! The box says
the Maker won't help us!

Are you guys being confusing
on purpose?!

What Maker? What box?

[grunts]

-[snarls]
-[screams]

-[whimpers]
-Mikey!

Guys! This way!

Nope. Never mind, my bad.

Don't mind us.
We were just leaving.

[screams]

[snoring]

Wingnut! [groans]

Donnie!
Thank goodness you're here!

It's been really boring.

I mean, terrifying, of course,

but the monster mutant things
all left.

There's no one to talk to,
not to mention I really need

to use the little girls' room,
if you know what I mean.

Oh!
Or, you could be busy right now.

I can wait, it's okay.

Thanks for understanding.

-[sighs]
-Use her blood.

-Fix us!
-Fix you?

I don't understand!

Your friend...

-she is a stable mutant.
-[whimpers]

What? That is so sweet!
Thank you.

A lot of people tell me I can be
quite unhinged at times,

-but I think it's just like...
-He means you don't explode

-into a bunch of ooze.
-Oh.

You are smart,
smart like the Maker.

Take her blood. Fix us.

Just because I wear glasses
doesn't mean I know how to do

whatever sciency-adjacent thing
you can think of!

Donnie, perhaps we shouldn't
yell at the werewolf

-who wants my blood?
-[roars]

And besides, this is advanced
biology and genetics.

-I'm more of a robotics guy!
-[growling]

He's like the Maker.

He will not help us.

We must make him help us.

Guys!
What are you guys doing here?

What are we doing here?
What are you doing here?

-I'm here too! Hi!
-[growling]

[grunting] Hey!

Let us go!

I'm gonna kick your butts!

Ya know, eventually.

You will help us,
or your brothers will suffer.

I told you, or him,
I actually have no idea.

There's a lot of you
and it's really confusing.

But I have no idea
how to help you!

So t*rture my brothers
all you want,

it's not going to change
anything!

-Donnie!
-Hey, thanks a lot, bro!

Yeah, maybe give it a try before
you suggest me being in pain.

They call you heroes

for fighting Superfly.

But Superfly
would have set us free.

Superfly? You knew him?

Only his legend.

Only that you
and the Mutanimals betrayed him.

You destroyed him
and any hope for us to live.

Okay, look, one, I still have no
idea what you're talking about,

and two, that was a complicated
situation. [screams]

-[beeping continues]
-No! No, no, no!

He's coming!

-[yelps]
-[beeping rapidly]

-[screams]
-[beeping stops]

Ugh! I guess maybe
they do blow up!

-Dang, that's bad.
-See, I told you, chickens!

-Every single one of 'em.
-They are kinda cute though!

"He's coming." Who?
Who's coming?

Who cares?
Donnie, get us out of here!
