Cousin Sid
- This is the Season 4 premiere. This marks the debut appearance of Casey Jones's cousin Sid.
- Master Splinter: (Narrating) Life moves as the wheel of destiny turns, day to night, night to day. Our fight with the Shredder nearly cost us our lives. We are broken, battered, but alive. Our bodies will heal but I wonder: Do my sons carry other wounds not so easily overcome? I know with a great heaviness that there will always be some new threat to challenge us. I only pray my sons will be prepared to face it...
- [The episode opens with a view of the Jones’ family farmhouse at night. Cut to the interior. The front door opens, and April enters with Master Splinter. He is injured and she is supporting him.]
- April O'Neil: Just a little bit further, Master Splinter.
- [Donatello and Michelangelo enter next. Donatello’s arm is in a sling and Michelangelo is on crutches with casts on his legs.]
- Michelangelo: Finally. Now, someone give me a fork or something. You have no idea how bad my legs itch.
- Donatello: Yeah, we do, Mikey. We heard about it the whole trip.
- [Last to enter are Casey Jones, Raphael, and Leonardo. Casey and Leonardo are supporting Raphael. The two turtles have bandages wrapped around their bodies. April helps Splinter onto a chair.]
- Splinter: Thank you, April. I am not as young as I once was. Wound's take longer to heal.
- Michelangelo: I'm still as young as I once was, and I don't feel like I'm ever going to heal!
- [Casey and Leonardo helps Raphael to lie down on the couch.]
- Raphael: Too bad you didn't break your jaw. Maybe we’d finally get a little peace and quiet around here. [bones cracking] Ow.
- Michelangelo: [sits in a chair next to Splinter’s and props his legs up.] Ahh! That's... better? [sniffs] Ew! What's that smell?! It smells like burnt – [He glances over at his father.] Oh, right. Sorry, Sensei.
- April:All right. Who's hungry?
- Donatello: Me!
- Michelangelo: I am!
- Donatello: I am!
- Casey Jones: Over here!
- [Leonardo is standing at the window, staring into the yard.]
- April: Leo?
- Splinter: Leonardo?
- Leonardo: I'm fine.
- April: [grabs the fork from Michelangelo] No scratching.
- Raphael: Hey, I like it when Leo acts tough. We should get Karai to stab him more often.
- (Leo angrily glares)
- Mikey: Easy Leo. Leave Raph to me. Raph needs a hiding place. Don't you, Raphie boy? And I got just the spot.
- Raph: Hiding spot? [Leonardo and Donatello carry him to a closet.] Don't even... No way am I missing this action.
- Michelangelo: They're laughing. That's nice. I can't move and they're laughing.
- Raphael: We'll heal. And then we'll beat the shell outta Casey for having such a whackbag family. But you're first, Mikey!
- Michelangelo: OW!
The People's Choice
- Michelangelo: (Narrating) Who would have guessed that getting back to nature with my bro's would turn into a sci-fi marathon? There's nothing cooler than slimy, slippery space-creatures, giant alien blobs, cosmic rock creatures with a bad attitude, or intergalactic catfight! And here I thought our camping trip was going to be boring. Silly me!
Sons of the Silent Age
- April O'Neil: (Narrating) I love nature. Its beauty, its balance and perfection. Nature reminds me of what I learned in school about the scientist Charles Darwin. Darwin believed in the survival of the fittest. He explained how life on Earth could be defined simply as the struggle for existence. But, it seems to me that the struggle for existence is never very simple.
- April: Are you okay, Leo? I know something’s been bothering you.
- Leonardo: Yeah, I... I don’t know. Well, I guess I do. It’s... I just can’t stop thinking about the last time we faced off against the Shredder. [clenches his fist.] That the only way that we could’ve defeated him was by blowing ourselves up. I couldn’t protect my brothers, my master. [punches a fist into the palm of his other hand.] I feel like such a complete failure, and no matter how I try to rationalize it, justify it, it always comes down to the fact that I wasn’t good enough.
- Raphael: Then the first thing we have ta' do is sneak in there.
- Michelangelo: Right, and like the Three Musketeers used to say, "One for all and all for ninja mode." Course, I'm paraphrasing. [smack] Owww!
- Raph: What is wrong with you?
- Mikey: What?
Dragon's Brew
- This is the only episodes in the series to not feature Raph (despite being mentioned), Mikey, and Donnie.
- Hun: (Narrating) This is the dawning of a new age. I have seen the past and I have touched the future. I have learned from my late great master that preparation is everything and I am prepared. Our destiny will soon be at hand. Nothing can stop us now. Nothing.
- Casey: Ha~ah!
- Hun: Jones! Uh!
- Casey: [elbows him in the gut and then sweeps his feet from under him with a hockey stick.] You and me, we got unfinished business!
- Hun: Bring it on. [Leonardo hops onto a box behind him.] Thought you turtles were destroyed.
- Leonardo: There’s a lot of that going around.
- Casey: He’s mine, Leo!
- Leonardo: I’ll just soften him up a little for you.
- Boy: Mommy, I was dreaming about Daddy. It was horrible!
- Mother: It’s okay, Sweetie. Daddy is in a better place, remember?
I, Monster
- This marks the debut appearance of Rat King.
- Rat King: (Narrating) I awoke in the mud and the slime of a filthy river. I don't know where I am or even who I am. I'm haunted by glimpses... momentary fragments of a life I think I had. But what life do I have now? What am I, but a monster? And now all will fear me... because everything fears the monster.
Grudge Match
- Raphael: (Narrating) It may look like just another day in the Battle Nexus, with the crowds and the cheering, but trust me, this day was gonna be special. I was looking forward to somebody finally shutting Mikey up about being Battle Nexus Champion. But it was starting to look like they were gonna shut Mikey up permanently.
- Master Splinter: Yes. Pizza sounds very appetizing right now, with pepperoni and karma.
A Wing and a Prayer
- This marks the debut appearance of Raptarr.
- Raptarr: (Narrating) Long have I watched over the world of man, and have I've been sickened by the ruthless acts of a soulless few. But through it all, I have learned more of who I am. Some call me "Hunter". Some call me "Protector". Whatever I am called, I have vowed to be this world's guardian angel.
Bad Day
- Donatello: (Narrating) OK, pop quiz: If a dozen of Agent Bishop's deadly commandos are chasing you at ninety miles an hour from points A, B, and C, what are the odds you're gonna survive the next five minutes?
- Master Splinter: Perhaps, but I am not speaking to you. I wait for my true foes to reveal themselves. You cannot touch me!
- Foot Mystic: This one is more powerful than we imagined.
- Karai: Fools! Another failure!?
- Fire Mystic: Our encounter has given information that will be useful to us. But we did not expect our forces to be breached.
- Karai: And you recklessly revealed your presence to the rodent!
- Water Mystic: We assure you, we have gained enough knowledge for our next assault.
- Karai: Then make it so! Otherwise, when I attack, I assure you it will be no illusion!!
Aliens Among Us
- Agent Bishop: (Narrating) For more years than I can remember I have stood watch. Preparing for a day I've long known was inevitable. The alien threat is real. And the world has suffered at the hand of these invaders. The world must be prepared it must always be vigilant. And I will make sure it is, no matter what the cost.
Dragons Rising
- This marks the only appearance of Arnold Casey Jones Sr., the late father of Casey Jones in flashbacks
- Casey Jones: (Narrating) You know, it's taken me quite a while, but I've really come a long way. I finally got my temper under control. However, there are still a few certain things that can really make my blood boil. Hun is one of them certain things. [Flashback to younger Hun and Casey] Me and him, we go way back. See, when I was a kid, a gang of street punks was shaking my old man down for protection money. It was Hun and the Purple Dragons. When my Dad wouldn't pay him, they torched our store.
- Hun: [grabs young Casey] You tell your old man punk, Next time pay up or else. [drops young Casey and walks off with the Purple dragons gang as young Casey watches sadly flashbacks end]
- Casey Jones: (Narrating) Yeah, me and him, we still got a score to settle. No matter how I try to plan out this problem, the two of us are headed for a bad, bad, showdown.
- [Casey and Hun grapple with each other atop a truck moving at high speed.]
- Casey Jones: (Narrating) Who knows? Maybe I haven't come as far as I thought.
- Mrs. Jones: Arnold, please. Is too dangerous.
- Young Casey: Please, Pops, don’t go.
- Arnold Jones Sr.: [squats down and places a hand on his son's shoulder.] I gotta, kiddo. I put everything we had into that store. I can’t just let them get away with this. I’m going to the police.
- Young Casey: But they said no cops. They said if you—
- Arnold Jones Sr.: Casey, sometimes you just gotta stand up for what’s right, even if the odds are against you. Even if you’re all alone. You gotta just stand up and do the right thing.
- Casey: HUN!
- Hun:
- [Casey, Raphael, Michelangelo and Donatello are inside the Battle Shell and Leonardo stands behind the vehicle outside and crossed his arms]
- Raphael: Come on, Leo, get in.
- Michelangelo: Let’s go home, bro. [Leonardo doesn’t move]
- Raph: Now what!? [groans]
- Leonardo: [angrily] We didn't finish the job. We blew it. Again! We blew it!
- Donatello: We did the best we could. At least we stopped half the convoy.
- Leo: [angrily] Half. We stopped half. And only because we got lucky. [and looks at his brothers and Casey] Is that good enough for you? Is it!? We're always one step behind. We act like a bunch of amateurs! How many more times are we gonna get beaten before you guys wise up and realize this isn't a game!?
- [Leonardo turns around and storms walking off alone behind his brothers and Casey inside the vehicle, Raphael stands up and flips the switch to close the back doors]
- Raph: I hate to admit it, but he ain't wrong.
- [Donatello starts the Battle Shell and drives away, Casey walks up next to him]
- Casey: Hey, Donny, drive by the cemetery, will ya’? I got an important stop I need to make.
- [Morning came as Donatello, Raphael and Michelangelo wait outside at the Battle Shell as Casey enters the cemetery, he walks up to his father’s grave]
- Casey: Hey, Pops, I brought ya’ something. [kneels and places the torn piece of jacket from Hun on the grave, the tombstone has a marker reads “Arnold Casey Jones Sr. Beloved Husband, Father and Friend.”] You spoke true, Pop. No matter what, you gotta stand up and do the right thing. But I guess I’m lucky. Even when the odds are against me, I ain’t alone. [stands up] I got friends. Good friends.
- [The three turtles stand together and watching him as the morning sun rises]
Still Nobody
- Nobody: (Narrating) Watching over the city, I have learned the sad truth that violence begins violence. They say nobody can break the cycle. That nobody cares. Nobody can do anything about it. Nobody tries to change things and they're right. Because I'm still Nobody and I do care. I will try to change things. I will make a difference.
- [Elsewhere, the turtles are atop a skyscraper which is under construction.]
- Leonardo: Two-hundred and eight. [They are doing pull-ups on the support beams.] Two-hundred and nine. Two-ten. Two-eleven.
- [Someone’s shell cell starts to ring. Raphael and Donatello check theirs.]
- Raphael: Not mine.
- Donatello: Not mine.
- Leonardo: Don't stop. Mikey, you left your shell cell on.
- Michelangelo: I'm sorry mister 'I'm going to pump you up' Leonardo, but I didn’t know we'd be doing a pull-up marathon. [Donatello pops him on the back of the head.] Ow!
- Raphael: Whoa, Don. Don't smack Mikey. [He pops Michelangelo.] That's my job.
- Michelangelo: Hey! Do I look like a piñata?
- Donatello: [to Michelangelo] Just answer your phone.
- Michelangelo: Talk to the turtle. [They all continue the pull-ups.] Hey, long time no hear. Uh-huh. Uh-huh. Uh-huh. No problem. We'll be there.
- Raphael: [to Michelangelo] Who was it?
- Michelangelo: Nobody.
- Fang: Yes, Master Hun?
- Hun: Scratch Jencko and his Turks off of our list of possible recruits, and see if you can retrieve any of the hardware we sold that punk. [The limo arrives in front of the “Oroku Saki Memorial Library”.] Seems a shame to waste it.
- [Hun steps out of the limo.]
- [Inside, people are milling about, talking to one another. Karai steps up to the podium in front of a large, draped object. Reporters begin taking pictures as the crowd quiets down.]
- Karai: Thank you all for coming to this dedication of the new Oroku Saki Memorial Library. One final gift from my late father to the city that he loved. [The drape is pulled off of a huge statue of Oroku Saki. Everyone applauds.] It is a great honor to dedicate my life to carrying on my father’s humanitarian efforts, even though he is gone, taken from us too soon.
- Hun: (sarcastic) Lovely party, Karai.
- Karai: Hun. I did not expect to see you at this dedication.
- Hun: [stands up] Explain something to me, Karai! You do all this in the name of the Shredder. He was a alien slug! How could you have known that and still serve him?!
- Karai: The Shredder gave me a life. He was my father, and I vow in his name, and I will hunt down those who destroyed him and make them pay with their lives!
All Hallows Thieves
- Raphael: (Narrating) Halloween in New York City. One of my favorite times of the year. A day where no matter how odd, how freaky, or scary you might be, you fit in with everyone else. A day when girls and boys all over the city dress as their favorite monsters and heroes and get free candy. A day when even a teenage mutant ninja turtle can walk around in the open. Of course, some Halloweens are filled with more tricks than treats. Maybe this year, we should've stayed home and rented scary movies.
Samurai Tourist
- Miyamoto Usagi: (Narrating) The paths we walk in life are different for each of us. Some walk the land without a care in the world while some choose to take on burdens that would crush the spirits of most. The land cares little of which path you choose. But its inhabitants are another matter entirely. Clearly, this is not our land. Gennosuke and I came to visit old friends, but I fear now that our presence has done more harm than good.
- Splinter: Thank you, Miyamoto Usagi. When I asked you to come, I hoped you could reach him, but I fear my son is now traveling down a difficult path. A path it seems he must travel alone.
- Usagi: I wish you good luck, Master Splinter. Farewell, my friends. [pushes Kojima into the portal.]
- Gennosuke: So long boys! [chuckling]
- [Gennosuke follows Usagi into the portal. Suddenly...]
- Michelangelo: [scream, appears on the upper landing.] Stop him! Don’t let him go!
- Donatello: Mikey? [The portal vanishes.]
- Raphael: What now, shell for brains?
- Michelangelo: My Silver Sentry comics. Gen, he-- he took ‘em. All of ‘em. No!
The Ancient One
- This marks the debut appearance of the Ancient One.
- Leonardo: (Narrating) I've traveled thousands of miles looking for an answer, only to wind up here, halfway across the world in the middle of nowhere, battling it out with four nasty creatures, more ghosts than man, but who's steel is all too real. Meanwhile, my traveling companion, some gross slob who attached himself to me like a bloated tick, doesn't do a thing to help out. He just sits there, grinning like a fool, leaving me to fight for both our lives. I've journeyed all across the world in search for answers, and instead, all I'm gonna get is my head chopped off.
- [The episode begins inside the turtles’ lair, as Leonardo and Splinter spar.]
- Leonardo: I already told you, I’m fine.
- Master Splinter: You are sure?!
- [Michelangelo lowers his comic book and grimaces.]
- Leonardo: Nothing’s the matter, Sensei. Why do you keep asking me that?!
- Master Splinter: So much anger. The unopened bottle will burst when its internal pressure becomes too much to bear. [Donatello spots Raphael at the weight bench.] For months now you have been brooding, surly, and stubborn.
- [Donatello appears worried.]
- Leonardo: Yeah, right.
- [Donatello and Raphael glance at one another. Shift to Splinter and Leonardo, who are sparring with swords.]
- Master Splinter: You have not been yourself. You must release what festers within you. Your family will help you, Leonardo. It is important that we be open with one another.
- [Leonardo attacks and manages to disarm Splinter. He then angrily confronts his father.]
- Leonardo: Open?! Okay, this Katana lesson stinks! I've mastered this years ago! YEARS AGO!!
- Master Splinter: [stares at him and then retrieves the sword.] It is not the students choice to say when a lesson is learned. [He attacks.] The student’s place is to listen and learn.
- [The sparring grows fierce and the other turtles gather to watch.]
- Michelangelo: Something tells me the cork’s about to pop on that unopened bottle.
- Raphael: That hothead. [Donatello and Michelangelo look at him] I hate it when Leo reminds me of me.
- Leonardo: I've already mastered this lesson! [shoves Splinter.] And yesterday's lesson! And the lesson before that! WHEN ARE YOU GOING TO TEACH ME [disarms Splinter.] SOMETHING I DON'T ALREADY KNOW?!!! [slashes at Splinter and slices his head. The other turtles run to their father as he drops to one knee and grabs his head.]
- Donatello: Master Splinter!
- Michelangelo: Are you okay? [Leonardo drops his sword.]
- Raphael: Leo! What the shell is your problem!?
- Leonardo: [shoves past Raphael] Master! [and Donatello] Master, I’m so sorry. I-I didn’t mean to hurt you. I just… I just lost control. [He hangs his head.]
- [Later, Master Splinter kneels in his room, which is candle lit. There is a bandage on his head. Leonardo stands in the doorway.]
- Splinter: Sit down, my son.
- [Leonardo enters, slides the door shut, and kneels before his father.]
- Leonardo: Master, I-I don’t know what to say.
- Splinter: Say nothing, listen. We were all badly wounded in our final confrontation with the Shredder. Your brothers and I have healed, but you have not. I have meditated long and hard on this matter, and now realize that you are correct.
- Leonardo: Huh?
- Splinter: It is time for you to move on. It is time for you to study with a new sensei.
- Leonardo: But-but, Master, I don’t want a new sensei. I’m happy here with you. [Donatello, Michelangelo and Raphael are listening at the door.] I know there’s so much more that you can teach me.
- Splinter: No, my son. It is as it must be. [Both stand and Splinter goes to the shelves on his back wall.] Now, there is but one master in all the world that I would entrust my son’s well-being to. He is wise, honorable, and highly skilled. He is called the Ancient One, [He looks at a picture of Hamato Yoshi.] and he was the sensei to my sensei, Hamato Yoshi. You must make a pilgrimage, a pilgrimage halfway across the world.
- Leonardo: But, Sensei…
- Splinter: Come, let us prepare you for your journey.
- [He pushes Leonardo back and swings at him. As Leonardo fights, he has a flashback to Donatello, aboard Shredder’s starship during Exodus part 2, as the engine starts to overload.]
- Donatello: Help me! I’m hurt! [echoes]
- Michelangelo: We’re not gonna make it! Leo, help me! [echoes]
- Raphael: Leo, the Shredder’s coming for us! You gotta do something! [echoes]
- Splinter: Save us, Leonardo! We are all counting on you, my son. [echoes]
- Ancient One: If there was nothing more you could have done, why do you punish yourself so?
- Leonardo: I finally understand. [He turns and walks back to the short man and then drops to one knee.] Ancient One. I am honored.
- Ancient One: Took you long enough, Leonardo.
- Ancient One: Now, Leonardo, tell an old man just what it is you think you have learned. [hands a bowl to Leonardo.]
- Leonardo: I guess I’ve been… I’ve been obsessed with failing. I hardened my heart like a rock; wrapped up inside my own shell. Trying to be perfect; thinking I wasn’t good enough, that I needed to be better. So angry… so…. [The Ancient One raps him on the head with a bamboo stick.] Ow! What?
- Ancient One: Too many words. Explain simply.
- Leonardo: I’ve been my own worst enemy.
- Ancient One: Much better. Now, relax and enjoy your tea, and let me tell you a tale of Master Yoshi. Yoshi found himself at a crossroads, not dissimilar to your own.
Scion of the Shredder
- Karai assumes the legacy of her adopted Utrom father and becomes the new Shredder and the Ninja Turtles' sworn enemy, especially toward Leo.
- Donatello: (Narrating) I've been worried a lot lately. For starters, I'm worried about the Foot. They're back... and they're tougher than ever. And... I'm worried about my brother, Leonardo. He's on a quest to parts unknown, and I'm worried he's not gonna find what he's been looking for. But mostly... I'm worried that Leo won't find us alive when he gets back. Master Splinter tells me that I worry too much. Okay, you tell me. Should I be worried?
- [The episode opens inside the turtles’ lair. Raphael is working out on his punching bag. Donatello is strapped into a harness, suspended over the Shell Sub where he is doing some welding. Michelangelo is seated on the couch with Klunk next to him. He is stacking playing cards while Master Splinter looks on.]
- Splinter: That is an impressive edifice, Michelangelo. Dare I ask how many hours you have spent building it?
- Michelangelo: Good question, Sensei. Hey, Raph, what time is it?
- Raphael: Like I wear a watch? How should I know? Hey, Donny, what time is it?
- Donatello: Beats me. Ask Leo. [He cuts off the welding torch and his brothers stop what they are doing. Splinter lowers his head with a sigh.] Sorry. Leo’s been gone more than two months and I still forget he’s not here.
- Raphael: Master Splinter, when’s that bum coming back anyway?
- [Donatello and Raphael walk over to join the others.]
- Michelangelo: And is Leo coming back normal, or like, more normal? ‘Cause before he left he was acting kinda, you know... [He twirls a finger next to his temple and Raphael slaps the back of his head.] Ow! Hey!
- Splinter: I do not know, my sons. Leonardo is on a pilgrimage to find the Ancient One, and to find answers. Such things are beyond time.
- Donatello: Well, I miss having him around.
- Splinter: As do we all. We must have faith that he will return when he is ready.
- Ancient One: Leonardo, your family is in grave danger.
- Leonardo: What?! [jumps up and leaps over to join the Ancient One, who nods at him.] I understand, Sensei.
- Michelangelo: Um, what is that?
- [The turtles pull their weapons. Klunk curls around Michelangelo’s ankle.]
- Raphael: Whatever it is, it’s coming through the front door!
- [The banging continues and the heavily fortified lair entrance bulges. The lair shakes and stones fall. The door shifts to one side and a brace rips loose, then the door falls. Splinter and the turtles rush towards the ramp and watch as two huge Foot mechs, called Shrednauts, crash through the wall and enter the lair. The Shrednauts pause and Foot ninja run into the lair.]
- Michelangelo: What the...? The Foot!
- Donatello: But how? How did they find us?
- Raphael: Don’t matter how they found us, they found us. Now let’s kick the shell out of ‘em! [He rushes to meet some advancing ninja.] Get... out... of... my house!!
- Raphael: Oh, shell!
- Donatello: No way! It can’t be him!
- Michelangelo: Master Splinter, any chance this is just another mystical attack?
- Splinter: No, my son, this is real. All too real.
- Donnie: The Shredder! But, the Utroms sentenced him to exile.
- Raph: Yeah? Well, it didn’t take.
- [The dust around the Shredder swirls and then the four Foot Elite appear.]
- Karai: Oroku Saki is gone, thanks to you, but the Shredder lives on! [She removes her helmet to reveal herself.]
- Donnie: Karai!
- Splinter: So the daughter of Oroku Saki has become the Shredder. Why?
- Karai: Honor demands it, Splinter-san. After you helped the vile Utroms exile my father, I vowed to avenge his honor!
- Splinter: You dare speak of honor!? Your father murdered my Master Yoshi! Your father had no honor!
- Karai: You will pay for your lie! All of you!! Where is Leonardo?!
- Raph: He ain't here!
- Mikey: You know, you just missed him, but if you leave right now, we'll tell him that you stopped by.
- Karai: You mock me. The fact that you still live mocks me!! [She dons the helmet.] That all ends now! Destroy them! Leave no one alive.
- Splinter: Master Yoshi's orb. [Karai brakes it] No!!
- Karai: Your sons destroyed my father! Now I will repay them in kind! I begged Leonardo to let him go, but he would not listen to reason!!
- Splinter: It is you who has been blinded to reason! Oroku Saki was a murderer! But you will not allow yourself to see the truth!!
- Karai: I see clearly, rat! and you will pay for what you have done to me!
- [They fight.]
- Splinter: I reached out to you! I hoped that you would turn away from evil, but I can see now that has consumed you!! [Karai slashes his shoulder.] Ugh! [steps back] You are faster than your father. I will give you that, but your dark heart will betray you, just as his did!!
- [She strikes him hard enough to expel him from the room. Karai stalks towards him as Splinter lays on the ground.]
- Karai: You are not even worthy to speak of my father, rodent!! [grabs him by his robe and lifts him off the ground.] I will silence your treacherous tongue once and for all!! [She draws back an arm to strike.]
- Raphael: [pushes himself up from the ground and sees Karai strike his father.] NO!!
- Donatello: Master Splinter!
- [Raphael races forward and leaps at Karai, who spins around and hits him, dropping Splinter in the process. Donatello runs at her and jumps, kicking her to the ground, which causes Karai to lose her helmet. She doesn’t move and Donatello helps Splinter stand up. He is joined by Raphael and Michelangelo.]
- Michelangelo: Master Splinter!
- Donatello: We have to get out of here.
- [They all spin around at another loud crashing sound, to find the lair filled with enemies, all of them staring at the mutant family.]
- Michelangelo: Uh, easier said than done.
- Raphael: Donnie, you take Master Splinter with you. We split up, get out, and hook back up again topside. Got it? [They jump as a Shrednaut strikes the ledge they were on.] Now let’s go! And guys, be careful.
- Michelangelo: Klunk? [Klunk meow] Where are you, Klunk? [He ducks a laser blast and then looks up to see Klunk standing on an overhead rafter.] Ah! Hang on, Klunk, I’m coming! [He leaps and climbs until he reaches the cat.] I got you pal. Mikey’s here.
- [He picks up Klunk and then spots a Shrednaut taking aim at him. It fires and Michelangelo jumps for a rope, which he climbs while Klunk clings to his shell. Still dodging blasts from the Shrednaut, Michelangelo leaps for a fire escape ladder which he rides down to the floor below. Jumping off the ladder, he hops from Foot ninja to Foot ninja, bouncing off of their shoulders, before spin kicking one down and landing on the ground. He turns to find a Shrednaut aiming at him. Michelangelo darts between the legs of another Shrednaut and rolls to a stop at a ramp. Holding Klunk, he runs as a Shrednaut pulverizes a support column and the rocks tumble down. Michelangelo races into the next room and the Shrednaut follows. Parked along one wall is the Turtle Tunneler. Michelangelo is inside with Klunk.]
- Michelangelo: Don’t worry, Klunk. I’ve got a plan. [Klunk hops into his lap.] Here we go.
- [He starts the Tunneler’s engine and fires up the front laser drill. As he drives towards a back wall, the Shrednaut opens fire. The Tunneler drills its way into the sewer tunnels and drives away, but the Shrednaut enters the tunnel and gives chase.]
- [Meanwhile, the elevator reaches the garage above the lair. When the elevator door opens, Raphael walks out slowly, and then drops to all fours, breathing hard. Behind him, the Foot ninja are all unconscious. Suddenly the garage door opens and Raphael looks up to see more Foot ninja approaching.]
- Raphael: You gotta be kidding me.
- [The Foot ninja race towards him and Raphael jumps up to run for the Battle Shell. He enters just as the ninja throw several throwing stars at him, all of them hitting the door. Raphael starts the engine and then fires a missile at the Foot ninja blocking the door. With the path cleared, Raphael drives out of the garage and onto the city streets.]
- [Meanwhile, Karai is still inside the lair.]
- Karai: In the name of Oroku Saki, Find them!! They must not be allowed to live. [The Foot bow to her and run to do her bidding.] And tear this filthy place apart, Leave nothing standing!
- [The Shrednauts begin firing, taking down support pillars and blasting the ceiling with missiles. Karai laughs as the turtles’ home is destroyed.]
- [To the river, where Donatello, piloting the Shell Sub, is trying to shake his pursuers. The Foot fire torpedoes.]
- Donatello: Hold on, Master Splinter.
- He pulls back hard on the steering column and the Shell Sub goes straight up. The torpedoes hit each other and explode. The Foot manage to get in front of him and one fires his torpedoes, scoring a direct hit on the underbelly of the Shell Sub. The sub flips over, water beginning to drip into the interior.
- Donatello: I don’t have enough firepower to fight all of them. Unless… [glances at a set of controls.] Hang on, Master Splinter. I’ve got an idea.
- [He presses a set of buttons and the Shell Sub rights itself. Torpedoes launch and fire directly into the river bottom, where they raise a dust cloud. Donatello manages to keep the sub upright and land it at the center of the dust cloud. River bottom dirt covers the sub as it settles on the bottom. The Foot converge on the spot where it went down. Inside, Donatello forces open the door and water floods into the cabin. He gives the diving gear to Splinter and then takes a deep breath before kicking a gear and then swimming out of the sub. Suddenly, the Shell Sub emerges and shoots straight upwards. Donatello and Splinter peek up out of the dirt to watch the Foot go after it and fire multiple torpedoes, all of which hit the sub. It explodes, and the remains sink to the river bottom.]
- Underwater Foot Ninja: Mistress Karai, Donatello and the rat have been destroyed.
- Karai: [on radio] Excellent. Most excellent.
- [The Foot leave. Donatello and Splinter pass the breathing mask back and forth as they swim for the surface.]
- [Michelangelo punches through a wall with the Tunneler and enters the subway tunnels. He drives straight across tracks and drills through another wall to reach another sewer tunnel, with the Shrednaut in hot pursuit. he opens the door]
- Michelangelo: Hang on, Klunk! [jumps out of the Tunneler and dives for cover in the side tunnel. The Tunneler speeds away with the Shrednaut in pursuit. The Shrednaut fires several missiles and hits the Tunneler, which rolls over and crashes.]
- Foot Technician: Foot Mech Four to Base. Michelangelo is finished.
- Karai: [on radio] Excellent.
- [Michelangelo runs away from the area, carrying Klunk with him.]
- Karai: [Cut to an overhead view of the city.] All that remains is Leonardo.
Prodigal Son
- Leo becomes less trustful towards Karai since this episode. However, he still appears to have feelings for her as he spared her life.
- Karai: (Praying) Honorable father, though you are imprisoned among the stars, I bring you news that will set free your soul. I, your humble daughter, Karai, discovered the lair of your most hated enemies and led a full Foot attack force against them. Utterly defeated, all they could was flee. Donatello and the rat we left destroyed at the bottom of the river. Michelangelo tried to burrow his way into safety, but he could not dig deep enough to escape my wrath. And Raphael was blown to smithereens in the turtles' own Battle Shell. All that remains is Leonardo, father, and once I find him, then you will truly and forever be avenged!
- Leonardo: Man! I really missed this old place. [sees the ruins of the Lair] Oh no, the lair!! [strips off his coat and draws a katana before entering.] No!! What happened here!? [picks up a broken Shell Cell, looks around, and continues on, finding that the lair has almost been completely destroyed. Poised on a ledge above, a Shrednaut’s lights come on. It captures Leonardo’s presence in its view screen and jumps down in front of him. The Foot Technician inside the Shrednaut opens fire, but Leonardo leaps to safety and pulls his second sword.] You dare come into my home and do this?!! [jumps at the control pod where the Technician sits and slices into it, causing the Shrednaut to tumble backwards and power down. Leonardo then slices open the harness which holds the Technician in his seat. Leonardo spots the emblem on the Technician’s shirt.] The Foot. [grabs the Technician by the shirt front and lifts him.] My family, where are they?!!
- Foot Technician: You’ll get nothing from me!
- [He presses a button and sparks begin to fly from the Shrednaut’s body. Leonardo leaps away and the Technician flees the machine. Leonardo races out of the lair as the Shrednaut overloads and explodes. The explosion sends Leonardo flying partway down the tunnel, but he is unhurt.]
- Leonardo: I need some answers.
- April O'Neil: [from her warning note] Leo, I'm so sorry. I not sure what to say, the others are... Karai said she got them all. She left this. She says your next. Be careful.
- Leonardo: No! It can't be! Karai is lying! They’re alive, I know it!
- [At the Foot Headquarters. A helicopter comes in for a landing and Karai steps out. A Foot ninja meets her and delivers a report.]
- Foot Ninja: Mistress Karai, we just received the report. The Shrednaut unit stationed in the turtles’ lair was destroyed.
- Karai: Leonardo. Deploy all available Foot ninja. Search the city. Destroy him! [The ninja bows and leaves.] This night my beloved father will truly be avenged!
- [Leonardo enters an abandoned building through the broken skylight. Behind him, Donatello sees only a shadowed form and draws his bō. Hearing the sound, Leonardo draws a sword and spins around.]
- Leonardo: Donny? It’s me.
- Donatello: Ah, Leo. [limps towards his brother.] You’re back!
- [They shake hands in greeting.]
- Leonardo: You okay?
- Splinter: My son.
- Leonardo: Master Splinter. [His father comes out of the shadows, holding his side.] I knew it. I knew you were both alive. Don’t worry, Sensei, everything’s gonna be okay. I promise.
- Donatello: Oh man, it’s good to see you, bro’.
- Leonardo: We have to get both of you out of here before any more Foot show up.
- [Cut to a long range view of Belvedere Castle. A manhole cover slides into place on a trail in Central Park. In the tunnels below, Leonardo leads the way, illuminating their path with his flashlight.]
- Leonardo: We need to find a safe place for you two to rest and recuperate. Some place far from the old lair. [He brushes the dirt off of a sign which reads “Reservoir Pump Station”. Following the arrow on the sign, the trio find a boarded up entrance. he removes the boards and then opens the metal door. He flashes the light around before descending a short set of stairs onto a metal catwalk. The space is huge, with catwalks leading in several directions.] This oughta do for now.
- Donatello: This must be one of the earlier pumping stations for the reservoir. I think I’ve seen it on some of the old city planning. [He looks around at the expansive space and whistles.] Very nice!
- Splinter: Leonardo, now that Donatello and I are safe…
- Leonardo: I’m already on it, Master Splinter. I’ll find them. [He races out of the station.]
- Raphael: I can't believe Karai did this to us! I can't believe she and the Foot tooked our home!
- Leonardo: Listen, Raph, nothing is permanent. We have to flow with change.
- Master Splinter: Perhaps Leonardo has learned a thing or two from the Ancient One. [He and Leonardo look at one another.] Yes, I can see it in your eyes. I have my son back. And I can see something else in your eyes. Please be careful, my son. She will be well guarded, and her skills are much improved.
- Leonardo: So are mine, sensei. I’ll be fine, I promise. Now, get some rest. I’m gonna go get some food and supplies. I’ll be back.
- Raphael: Hey, Leo, bring back some sodas or something.
- Michelangelo: And some pizza and Chinese food [Klunk meow] and some kibble.
- [Karai is inside the Oroku Saki Memorial Library in full Shredder armor, sans the helmet. She approaches Oroku Saki’s statue, kneels and removes the covering from a katana. This she places in the stand which is at the feet of the statue. As soon as she sets the sword in place, the “Sewer Sweet Sewer” plaque whips through the air and impales the sword stand.]
- Leonardo: [coldly] Hello, Karai. Got your message.
- Karai: I am impressed. Security here is very tight, yet here you are, undetected.
- [Leonardo hops down and takes up a defensive posture.]
- Leonardo: So, you are the new Shredder?
- [Karai places the helmet on her head and turns.]
- Karai: Yes. [draws her sword] And I am your doom!
- [Leonardo pulls one of his swords as well.]
- Leonardo: You have gone too far this time, Karai!!
- Karai: Not far enough! Not until you lie broken and battered at my feet! Only then will my father truly be avenged! Make no mistake, Leonardo, son of Splinter, hated enemy of my father. Your path ends here!
- [leaps at him and he rushes to meet her attack. Their swords clash and they push against each other.]
- Leonardo: I remember when we first met, Karai! We fought side by side and I said you were nothing like the Shredder! [He falls back, pulling her down and rolling until she is on her back and he is standing over her.] I thought you understood honor, but I was wrong! You're exactly like him!! You understand nothing!!
- [She kicks him off, but he does a handspring and regains his feet. Leonardo catches her sword on his and quickly disarms her, sending her sword flying onto the arms of the statue. She takes a swing at him, but he ducks and pulls her second sword from her belt.]
- Karai: No, you will pay. You must pay! [She tries to slash him with her Tekkō-kagi, but he ducks. Karai squats and launches the weighted end of her Manriki-gusari at him. It wraps around the handle of her stolen sword and she flips backwards, her weight pulling the weapon from his hand. She throws the sword behind her and drops the hook end of the Manriki-gusari into her other hand. Spinning it, she charges and throws the weapon. Leonardo pulls his second katana, leaps, and slices through the chain.] No! I must have my revenge! [She runs but Leonardo pursues. As she turns, he flips through the air at her, slicing several times. Karai’s helmet falls into several pieces, shocking her.]
- Leonardo: Your own anger defeats you, Karai. [stands with his back to her.] You remind me of a Turtle I used to know.
- Karai: [takes a couple of steps back, and grabs the communication device from her belt.] Security to the library… [Before she can finish, Leonardo slashes across the device, destroying it. As it falls, Leonardo, who has gotten behind her, places his katana near her head. He taps on her shoulder with the sword and she drops to her knees.] Go ahead. Do it! Finish me!
- Leonardo: No. [Still kneeling, Karai turns as he sheathes his swords.] I'm giving you one last chance to do the right thing, Karai. Don't waste it. [walks over to Saki’s statue.] And Karai, [leaps] stay away [grabs Saki’s sword] from my family!! [slashes at the statue and tosses the sword so that it sticks into the floor in front of Karai. As he races away]
- [The statue’s head falls, having been sliced away from the body. It bounces and rolls across the floor, coming to a stop in front of Karai. Suddenly the room is flooded with Foot ninjas.]
- Foot Ninja: Mistress Karai! Is everything all right?!
- [Karai looks up to see two of the upper window panels flapping in the breeze.]
- [Leonardo returns to the new lair carrying a duffel bag.]
- Leonardo: Did someone mention food? [takes two containers from the bag.]
- Michelangelo: Chinese food for breakfast? [He and Donatello both catch a container.] Works for me.
- [Kneeling, Leonardo hands a container of food to Raphael and then stands to walk over to Splinter.]
- Leonardo: I’ve checked it out and this seems like a safe place, Master Splinter. We could stay here, maybe even fix it up a bit.
- Splinter: It is as the great sage, Shinto Sakamoto said, home is where you hang your hat.
- [Leonardo kneels before him and takes an ornate walking stick from his bag.]
- Leonardo: This walking stick is said to have come from a very ancient and mystic tree. [He presents the stick to Splinter, who takes it from him.] I got it with the Ancient One. I’ve carried it all this way for you.
- Splinter: Ah, a very gracious gift. [They bow to one another.] Thank you, Leonardo. Welcome home.
Outbreak
- Agent Bishop: (Narrating) For too long, our world, our history, has been influenced by extraterrestrial threats. I know this all too well. My purpose has always been clear: Defend against the threat. Rebuild humanity to resist invasion. It hasn't always been easy. There are tough choices that need to be made. Someone has to stop this alien plague. It was a vow I made long ago. And I intend to keep it.
- Michelangelo: Ugh. Next time I’ll take lookout duty.
- Raphael: Great. More of Karai's Foot ninja. We should be out hunting them, not the other way around.
- Leonardo: We’ll handle Karai, Raph, but on our terms, not hers. We’ll handle whatever comes our way.
- Raphael: You okay, bro’? [helps Donatello up.]
- Donatello: Thanks.
- Michelangelo: Don, Raph, watch out!
- [They turn to see several tentacles shooting towards them. Raphael shoves Donatello out of the way.]
- Raphael: Move!
- [Raphael avoids the tentacles, but one of the spikes strikes Donatello’s thigh.]
- Donatello: Oh!
- [Raphael pins the tentacle with his sai.]
- Donatello: My leg.
- Raphael: You okay?
- Donatello: Yeah, just a nick. Uh, thanks again.
Trouble with Augie
- This marks the only appearance of Professor August O'Neil, an uncle of April O'Neil and is the only appearance of Robyn O'Neil, a sister of April.
- April O'Neil: (Narrating) The man in the hat is my uncle Augie. Uncle Augie didn't just teach me math and science, he taught me to love them. If it wasn't for him, I never would've have gotten my college degree in math. Uncle Augie was always coming and going, off on adventures, but we made the most of our time together. Then one day, uncle Augie just disappeared and he never came back. I'd give anything to see my uncle Augie again. I know he's alive and somehow, someway, I'm going to find him.
- Mikey: Especially since Karai the new miss Shredder showed up at your shop.
Insane in the Membrane
- This marks the only appearance of Baxter Stockman's mother in flashbacks.
- [Montage of Stockman's accomplishments accompanied by his voice over]
- Baxter Stockman: (Narrating) Once, long ago, I, Dr. Baxter Stockman, was a whole man. With a brilliant mind and an able body! In the scientific community, I was unequalled! Throughout the world, I was renowned, revered, worshipped! But it all went wrong, horribly, horribly wrong. My genius fell under the control of cruel-minded brutes.
- [Flashback of Shredder ordering Hun to drag Stockman away.]
- Baxter Stockman: No, NOOOOOOOOOO!
- [We see Hun, from Stockman's POV, thrusting a saw in his face, and the image shatters as it makes contact. A montage of Stockman's various injuries plays until we see him as just a brain in a jar]
- Baxter Stockman: (Narrating) They whittled me away, piece by piece, limb by limb, until I was reduced to nearly nothing. [Stockman, in his deteriorated form, approaches the camera menacingly] But those simpletons aren't to blame. I finally know who's responsible for my downfall, and now, with my new body, I will finally have my revenge!
- Baxter Stockman: [Driven to madness and desperation] This experiment is a catastrophe. (As he slams his hands on the floor which it cracks) Uh! HOW could I have been so stupid? Why was I in such a rush? Why didn't I listen to agent Bishop? [Rips off his lab coat in rage] WHY?! Why am I a failure, my whole life?! Oh, mama. I made such promise. (Reminiscing) Where did it all go wrong?! Where? [The scene turns red and blue as all of Stockman's enemies appear in his mind, reminscing his time with them. First, we cut to Shredder and some Baxter's injuries.] A horrible degradation at the hands of the Shredder. [Cut to Hun, who looks grumpily at camera with Purple Dragons behind his back.] His horrific bug, Hun! [Cut to the turtles] And those despicable turtles! No! No! [Camera pans to April, who points at something and then...] Before then… It was her! I trusted her and she betrayed me! [Cut to the turtles (in shadows) and April. Raphael is seen kicking robot Stockman.] SHE brought in those turtles and ruined everything, my glorious mousers failed because of her and that failure is what brought the Shredder's wrath down upon me! Yes! She's responsible, she did this to me. (He picks up the whole table, throws at machinery and brakes) And she is the one who will pay!!
- Casey Jones: He just busted in he knocked me out when I woke up they were gone, all I remember is him saying something about going back to where this all started.
- Raphael: Where it all started?
- Leonardo: Stocktronics, [To Stockman continues to carry April to his old lab building now abandoned, offscreen] the lab where he and April first worked together it has to be.
- Baxter Stockman's mother: Baxter, [coughing] I'm sorry baby doll Mama's just worn out, I guess this old body just can't take it, I so wanted to see you grow up and be a fine man, I did [coughing] Remember the sky's the limit for you boy, I... I... I love you, Baxter. [dies]
- Young Baxter Stockman: No, Mama! Don't leave me. Mama! Mama!
- Leo: Let her go, Stockman!
- Baxter Stockman: April? You, you betrayed me!
- Donnie: Run, April! Get out of here!
- Baxter Stockman: No! She can't leave, I forbid it!
- Mikey: You asked for it, Dr. Stockman-Stein!
- Raph: There they are!
- Mikey: On the cable car!
- Stockman: Now we can finally set things right.
- April: Doctor Stockman, please don’t this, can you remember when your work helped people when it was about the science? You were a brilliant man the sky was the limit for you Doctor Stockman.
- Stockman: [starts hallucinating again.] Mama? [sees April as his mother.]
- Baxter Stockman's mother: The sky was the limit you were such a good boy, you had so much potential, what happened to you baby doll? [sees her as herself again]
- April: You were someone I admired, someone I respected and you can be again.
- Baxter Stockman: Mama what have I done?
- [The coupling of the cable car continues to break]
- April: Doctor.
- [Stockman hallucinates April as his mother again.]
- Baxter Stockman's mother: Baxter.
- April: Please.
- [The cable car shakes and she trips backwards.]
- Baxter Stockman: (gasps) Mama, Mama.
- Casey: April!
- Baxter Stockman: [still hallucinates April as his mother] Mama. You've got to get off of here, Mama it's not safe. [He comes to April and picks her, Casey climbs down the cable and grabs April.] Hurry Mama, [Casey places his around April and they both look at Stockman] hurry! I love you, Mama! I… [The coupling brakes from the cable and the cable car falls in to the river] I… Ahhh!
- [The slash is heard as April cries over Stockman's "death", the turtles pull the cable getting Casey and April to safety inside the copter.]
- Mikey: Man, you think that's the end of Stockman?
- Leo: We've seen him come back from worse. Only time will tell.
- Raph: Well, I say it good riddance! That psycho's giving us nothing, but grief, ever since we met him!
- Donnie: I dunno, at least he gave us this neat chopper... sort of. Now, let's just find a place to park it.
Return of Savanti
Part 1 [4.20]
- Donatello: (Narrating) My name is Donatello and right now I can't help but think of an old saying: Be careful what you wish for. All my life, I've been fascinated with what they call "terrible lizards" and "thunder beasts". Dinosaurs. But now, amazingly, I got my wish. Here I am in the Cretaceous Period, 65 million years ago, finally seeing them with my own two eyes, while running for my life. So be careful what you wish for, or, just like the dinosaurs, you might find yourself facing sudden extinction.
- Raphael: Way to go, sneezy!
- Donatello: I said I was sorry!
- Leonardo: Run!
Part 2 [4.21]
- Savanti Romero: (Narrating) Eons ago, I was on the verge of ultimate power. With the omnipotent Time Scepter, I, Savanti Romero, was going to rule all of time. That is, until Lord Simultaneous thwarted my plan.
- Savanti Romero: NO!
- Savanti Romero: (Narrating) He turned me into a monster and exiled me from null time to Earth's Middle Ages where he hoped never to hear from me again. But instead, I plotted: Summoning all my magic, I tried again to take the time scepter and use it against Lord Simultaneous.
- Savanti Romero: Now my freedom shall be at hand.
- Savanti Romero: (Narrating) But thanks to the interference of those accursed ninja turtles and that foolish timestress Renet, my victory was denied.
- Raphael: Hey, hey, nice swing.
- Savanti Romero: (Narrating) And Simultaneous exiled me once more, even further in time to Earth's Cretaceous Period, but that did not stop me.
- Donatello: That’s Savanti Romero.
- Savanti Romero: (Narrating) Again, I gathered my magic and lured my prey back through time. Savanti Romero will not be denied his revenge. The timestress will pay for her meddling. The time scepter will finally be mine. As for the turtles, they have no idea of the changes that are about to befall them.
- [Renet as she comes to from being knocked unconscious.]
- Renet: Uh. Ngh. [Her eyes open.] Oh, what a terrible nightmare. [She spots Romero standing above her.] Ah!
- Savanti Romero: We meet again, Timestress, for the last time. I do hope you’re enjoying the view.
[Renet is bound at the wrists and ankles, her bonds attached to four places on a ring of bones which is suspended above a lake. The ring is supported by four arches which are formed entirely from bones that have all tangled together.]
- Renet: Let me go, creep, and give me back my scepter!
- Savanti Romero: Your master is a fool to entrust you with such power, and soon, I’ll use that power to destroy him.
- Renet: So, uh, what do you need me for? I don’t think he’s going to come for me if that’s what you’re...
- Savanti Romero: You think I’m using you as bait? No. My magic needs fuel. The life of an apprentice Timestress for example. [laughing and Renet makes a distressed sound.]
Tale of Master Yoshi
- This marks the only appearance of Tang Shen, and Yukio Mashimi in flashbacks.
- Leonardo: (Narrating) Honor. Integrity. Bushido. These were the ideals that drove Master Splinter's beloved master: Hamato Yoshi. He had traveled far to reach this castle fortress only to find four Foot elite warriors barring his way. But four or four hundred, it mattered not for on this particular night, Yoshi was driven by a powerful force unfamiliar to him. Hatred. Hatred that burned so bright it threatened to destroy him. Hatred born out of the need for revenge.
- Donatello: I know! Maybe Leo should tell us about the Ancient One.
- Raphael: Yeah, Leo. I want to know the other things you learned on how to kick butt.
- Leonardo: Well, I wouldn't know where to start, but there is one story I think you might want to hear... about Master Splinter's master, Hamato Yoshi.
- Leonardo: It's a story about a girl.
- Raphael: A girl? Does she kick butt?
- Master Splinter: Raphael. Please, continue, Leonardo.
- Leo: Okay. Our story begins long ago in the 1960s. Japan was just getting back on its feet.
- Michelangelo: After an attack by Godzilla?
- Leo: No. After its defeat in World War II. It was not uncommon to see young orphaned boys in the streets, begging for food and money.
- Leonardo: (Narrating) So the Ancient One took Yoshi and his friend into his home, and trained them in the ways of ninjitsu, and treated them as if they were his own sons. As they grew into young men, they became closer than brothers, best of friends who do everything together. They even fell in love at the same time, with the same girl - Tang Shen. They were crazy about her. Tang Shen was also an orphan raised by the Ancient One. It was her loving care that made the Ancient One's house into a home and that often brought unexpected visitors to her kitchen.
- Tang Shen: Mashimi, no!
- Leonardo: (Narrating) But Tang Shen saw a hungry innocent creature and, as always, her first thought was to care for it. She decided to keep the curious rat as a pet. Seeing that Tang Shen had grown fond of the hungry little visitor, Yoshi had built a home for the newest member of their family. Although, Tang Shen had captured both the boys' hearts, it was clear that her heart belonged to only one of them - Yoshi.
- Leonardo: (Narrating) But the Ancient One was dead set against it.
- Ancient One: Ha, no. The Guardians are no place for you. You must not do this. Yoshi, a different destiny awaits you. Neither of you are ready. You need much more training.
- Yukio Mashimi: Sensei, we are more than ready.
- Ancient One: In body perhaps, but it is your heart and mind that still need training, my son.
- Hamoto Yoshi: The Guardians are an honorable force for good, Sensei. I want to help them.
- [Tang Shen peers through the doorway into the dojo.]
- Ancient One: No. I forbid you to join the Guardians. [leaves] That is my final word.
- Leonardo: (Narrating) Though his friendship with Mashimi began to diminish, Yoshi's bond with Tang Shen grew stronger than ever, but the coils of jealousy were winding tighter and tighter in Mashimi's soul until... something snapped.
- [A crack of thunder is followed by rain. Tang Shen lifts her arms to welcome it.]
- Yukio Mashimi: Tang Shen!
- Tang Shen: Oh, Mashimi, you startled me. [?] What, what is wrong with you?
- [Inside his dojo the little rat munches on a crumb when the sound of Tang Shen’s scream cuts the air. The Ancient One is nearby and runs for the door.]
- Ancient One: Tang Shen? [runs outside, looking for her.] Tang Shen! [He then spots her prone form.] Oh no! Tang Shen!
- Shredder: Secure all the exits. Let none escape.
- [Mashimi, now wearing the garb of the Foot, steps up next to Shredder.]
- Mortu: Mashini, you have betrayed us!?
- Hamoto Yoshi: Mashimi, why?
- Yukio Mashimi: How dare you ask why! You betrayed me! We were like brothers, but you had everything and left me with nothing!! Now I take everything from you, including your life!!
- Leonardo: (Narrating) Yoshi returned to tell Tang Shen all that had happened, only to find out the horrible truth.
- Hamoto Yoshi: Tang Shen!? No! NOOOO!! [echoes]
- [at Shen's grave]
- Ancient One: This is all my fault. I knew Mashimi had a dark streak in his heart.
- Hamoto Yoshi: It is not your fault, Master. It is Mashimi's fault and he shall pay with his life!!
- Ancient One: Be careful, my son. Vengeance is like a splinter that will poison your mind and heart.
- Hamoto Yoshi: Yukio Mashimi, I have come for you! Show yourself, traitor!
- Shredder: [sits on his throne.] Mashimi.
- [Mashimi steps out in front of the stairs leading up to Shredder’s throne.]
- Hamoto Yoshi: Mashimi, I challenge you to a duel, assassin!!
- Yukio Mashimi: A duel!? Ha! You have unknowingly stepped into the lion's den, Yoshi! I do not need to fight you! We outnumber you!!
- Shredder: You are mistaken, Yukio Mashimi. You stand alone. Defeat Hamato Yoshi and I will forgive our humiliating retreat from the Utrom base. Only if you defeat Yoshi will I let you live.
- Yukio Mashimi: As you wish, Master. [walks over to where Yoshi waits and strikes a defensive posture.] So, Yoshi, our story comes full circle! It began with the two of us and it will end with just the two of us!!
- Hamoto Yoshi: This story will only end with one of us, Mashimi!!
- Hamoto Yoshi: Well, little one. I will name you Splinter. And together, we will remind ourselves of Tang Shen. Of her beauty, her kindness, and love.
- Leonardo: Well, I think we all know the rest of the story.
- Michelangleo: Man! What a bummer story.
- Master Splinter: Perhaps, Michelangelo, but perhaps not. It not for these events, I would never have been brought to New York.
- Donatello: And the Utroms would never have had to relocate here either, meaning no ooze.
- Raphael: No us.
- [Present Day Japan. The Ancient One approaches a home. Inside, a gate rises and he proceeds down a long flight of stairs. He enters a large chamber, lit by fire sconces mounted around the center of a circular area. He bows.]
- Ancient One: I have come to plead for the turtles. You must not carry out your designs.
- [From the darkness, a pair of blue eyes light up. It is one of the Ninja Tribunal.]
- Juto-Shisho: You are too late, Ancient One.
- [From another side, the bright eyes are green.]
- Chikara-Shisho: We have decided.
- [Yet a third set of eyes, silver in color, appears.]
- Kon-Shisho: We will judge the turtles’ fate. We will determine whether they will live...
- Juto-Shisho: Or how they will meet their end.
- [The Ancient One bows.]
The Mutated Era of Donatello
Adventures in Turtle Sitting
- Leonardo [narrating]: Things are not good, and they're getting worse by the second. We could really use good old Donnie right about now. Ever since Bishop's mutant outbreak began, Don's been the one guiding us through this whole mess. Coming up with all the answers.
- [Michelangelo gets hit]
- Raph: Mikey!
- Leo: [narrating] There have been hundreds of times we'd've been turtle-waxed... if Don's brains hadn't bailed us out.
- Leo: [sees Raph getting grabbed a monster] Raph!
- Leo: [narrating] It's too bad Don's not here now, because this is definitely one of those times.
- April: Now who could that be? [She opens the doors to find the Michelangelo, Leonardo and Raphael standing there.] Guys! Hey, this is...unexpected. Guys! Hey, this is...unexpected.
- Leonardo: Sorry, April, but we’re on our way to a possible mutant outbreak at the power plant and—
- Donatello: Achoo! [groans, leans against the doorframe, looking weak and with dark bags under his eyes.]
- April: Whoa. Don, you look greener than usual. A lot greener than usual.
- Donnie: I know, I-- [blows his nose.] I've picked up this little bug and I haven't been able to shake it. [blows nose] I was feeling alright, but I just can't handle mutants right now.
- Mikey: Did you figure that out before, or after you barfed in the Battle Shell?
- Raph: Mikey! [slaps Mikey in the head]
- Mikey: OW!
- Raph: Adults are talking. April, can you keep an eye on Donnie for us?
- Donnie: Achoo! [blows his nose.]
- April: Of course Don can stay here. I mean, we weren’t going anywhere anyway.
- Casey: Bro’, you are seriously cramping my style here.
- Donnie: Sorry.
- April: You guys have been on monster patrol for weeks. What’s the plan, clean up all the mutants in Manhattan?
- Leo: Well, no. This outbreak is way more than four turtles can handle. We’re just trying to keep it from spreading.
- April: Well, go get ‘em guys. We’ll watch Don.
- Leo: Donnie, take it easy bro’. [The other turtles depart.]
- Donnie: Good lu-uh-uh-achoo! Achoo!
- Casey: Uh! [slaps his forehead as Donatello groans.] Come on, sickly mutant ninja turtle, you better lie down before you fall down. [helps Donatello lie down on the couch and then covers him with a blanket.] There. Comfy?
- Leonardo: Okay, Mikey, you take the left. Don, you cover me on—
- Michelangelo: Uh, Don’s home sick from school today, Leo.
- Leonardo: Right. Raph, you cover me on the right. And remember guys, just contain them, do not splatter them.
- Raphael: We know the drill. Can't have that cream filling spillin' out, infecting other creatures with their freako DNA. The last thing we need is more genetic rejects. I mean, we've already got Mikey.
- [It's loving brother time!]
- [after Donatello mutates]
- April O'Neil: This is crazy!
- Casey Jones: What do we do?!
- April: It's Don right? Try talking to him!
- Casey: Talk to him, are you nuts!? He's a savage, freaky monster and YOU JUST WHACKED HIM IN THE FACE WITH A BROOM!!!
- [Casey being the voice of reason]
- Stockman: I-- I don’t understand. What’s happened? What have you done to me?
- Agent Bishop: I had your brain recovered from the bottom of New York’s East River after your misguided sabbatical. While I could do without your personality, I do need your brain. The outbreak is getting worse by the minute, and I expect you to use that powerful mind of yours to clean it up.
- Stockman: I-- I-- I can’t believe... oh. I can’t believe you brought me back this. Why? Why? [He gets off the table and stands on shaky legs before falling.] Why couldn’t you let me finally rest in peace? Why?!
- Leonardo: What was that thing?
- Raphael: And where’s Don?
- Michelangelo: Did that monster get Don?
- April: Guys, that monster is Don.
- Michelangelo: Say what?
- April: That thing you just fought is Don.
- Leatherhead: I regret to say... I cannot cure him.
- Mikey: What?! NO!!
- Raphael: MAN, I AM GONNA TAKE BISHOP AND RAM MY FOOT SO FAR...
- Leonardo: Easy, Raph! We'll find cure, but first we got to capture Don before he hurts himself or anyone else.
- [Raph almost says something inappropriate for kids]
- Michelangelo: Oh ugly, mutated-version-of-my-beloved-brother DONATELLOOOO, where are youuu~?! [He hears growling.] Donny?!
- [Mutant Donatello appears rounds a turn, sees Michelangelo, and charges.]
- Mikey: Like, ZOINKS!!
- [Michelangelo dodges a swing, leaps over Donatello’s head, and runs. Donatello chases him. Michelangelo catches onto a hole in the ceiling of the tunnel and one handed swings through into the tunnel above. He turns and looks back, but sees no Donatello. Arming his weapon, he walks back towards the hole. Suddenly Donatello bursts through and Michelangelo screams and runs.]
- Mikey: Oh, Humna, humna, humna, humna, humna, humna, humna, humna! WHOA!
- [mutant Donatello keeps swinging his fists to Michelangelo, who keeps dodging them by swinging back and forward]
- Mikey: Now I know how a piñata feels! [dodge another fist swing] AND I DON'T LIKE IT! Whoa, Don! Come on, quit it! [Raph and Leo arrive.] A little help here, guys?
- Raphael: Whoa, mama! Don’s been taking his vitamins. [Donatello punches Michelangelo and flings him down at the feet of his brothers.] I’m really sorry about this, Donny!
- [He jumps down in front of Donatello and swings at him with his capture claw weapon.]
- Leonardo: Remember, this is Don. Do not hurt him!
- [Raphael hops around as Donatello tries to slash him.]
- Raphael: That’s not gonna be a problem, Leo!
- Donatello straightens and roars. Leonardo kicks his carapace and when Donatello turns, Raphael kicks him. Donatello falls forward onto his hands and knees.
- Leonardo: Leatherhead, you’re on.
- [Leatherhead leaps out of hiding and runs towards Donatello, who has risen to his feet. Leatherhead plows into him, grabs and lifts him off his feet. Donatello tries to snap at him. Leatherhead shoves him into the containment unit and Michelangelo and Leonardo slam the door shut. Donatello pounds on the glass as his brothers and Leatherhead look on.]
- Splinter: [sadly] My son.
- Leatherhead: I can sympathize. I know what it’s like to be a monster.
- Raphael: [places his hand on Splinter’s shoulder.] Poor Donny.
- Michelangelo: What are we gonna do, Leo?
- Leonardo: Do? This is Donatello. This is our brother. [He flattens a palm on the glass.] We’re going to hunt down a cure for him, no matter what it takes. No matter what it takes.
Good Genes
Part 1 [2.24]
- Leatherhead: (Narrating) As we fly through the night, I can't help but ponder: intelligence, reason, even simple thought. Most people take these things for granted. I do not. For I know what it's like to be an advanced mind, trapped in the body of a brute... of a monster. But for once, I am not the monster in question. My friend Donatello is one of the gentlest souls I've ever met, with one of the finest minds I've ever known. But now, thanks to the evil agent Bishop, my friend has been transformed into a thoughtless savage. And I fear that the Donatello I know may truly be lost forever.
- Karai: Mystics, your master has need of you!
- [Laughter echoes all around her.]
- Water Mystic: [voice-over] Our master is the Shredder. Not you, little girl!
- [The Earth Mystic materializes atop of podium.]
- Earth Mystic: You are nothing but a pretender! like the Utrom abomination before you!
- [The other Mystics appear atop their perches.]
- Karai: You forget your place, Mystics! You serve me now. I hold the same power over you as my father did! All your talk of ancient power. You live in the past. I am the future and you will obey me. Find the turtle Leonardo! He must pay for his crimes against my father! Do you hear me?! [turns and walks away.] Find him! [exits the room. As the door closes behind her, the Mystics speaks again.]
- Earth Mystic: Perhaps he will find you!
- Leo: Once we have Bishop, We'll convince him to help Don.
- Raph: Leatherhead and I can handle that part of the plan, we can be very convincing. [punches hand]
- Bishop: I must say, I’m surprised to see you. We don’t get a lot of guests here.
- Raphael: Oh, I knew this was too easy. You think they saw the copter?
- Michelangelo: It's Area 51, they probably have a UFO watching us from SPACE!
- Bishop: Not exactly, Michelangelo. We detected the helicopter as it approached because it’s my helicopter. [Baxter Stockman walks up next to him.] Dr. Stockman took it to New York on his ill-fated trip.
- Raphael: Stockman? Still alive? I thought we were done with you for good.
- Baxter Stockman: Oh, I wish, but Agent Bishop didn’t see fit to let me rest in peace.
- Bishop: Enough chit-chat. What brings you turtles to my house?
- Leonardo: There’s been an outbreak in New York caused by your alien invasion force.
- Bishop: I’m familiar with the situation in New York.
- Leonardo: Don got infected. He’s been transformed into... into a monster.
- Stockman: Ha, ha, ha, ha! Oh, that’s rich. So much for the smart one.
- Bishop: Perhaps we can be of aid to one another. What if I told you I could cure your brother?
- Leonardo: Why would you help us?
- Bishop: I would help your brother because I require something from you in exchange.
- Raphael: There is no way we should make a deal with this guy.
- Michelangelo: Don’s in trouble because of Bishop, and he tried to dissect us, remember?
- Leonardo: It may be a deal with the devil, but what choice do we have?
- Stockman: Now open that hunk a' junk.
- [Scene shift to Donatello, now floating inside one of Stockman’s containment units.]
- Dr. Baxter Stockman: Hmm, Donatello’s body appears to be breaking down at a fantastic rate due to secondary stage mutations caused by the outbreak accelerant. He doesn’t have much time. The animal was right.
- Leatherhead: [growls] Leonardo, this is wrong. We cannot leave Donatello’s fate to these devils. [points at Stockman.] Stockman can not be trusted. [points at Bishop.] And him. If you only knew what he was capable of.
- Raphael: Leatherhead’s right, Leo. Bishop’s the enemy! He’s the one that caused the outbreak in the first place.
- Bishop: Stockman created the genetic accelerant on my orders. What you call the “outbreak virus” is an unintended side effect of one of my operations.
- Leonardo: Do you have a cure?
- [Bishop glances at Stockman, who shakes his head in the negative. Bishop looks back at the group of mutants and grins.]
- Bishop: Yes. But as I said earlier, I need something from you.
- Leonardo: Name it.
- Bishop: A simple errand, really. There is an item I require. A relic that may prove crucial to my work. I want you to retrieve it for me.
- Leonardo: Retrieve it? From where?
- Bishop: New York. In fact, I believe you know the woman who currently holds it. Her name is Karai.
- [The group reacts with surprise. To Be Continued...]
Part 2 [2.25]
- Leonardo: [Narrating] A wise man once said: I've got a bad feeling about this. And right now, I know how he feels. Believe it or not, that's my brother Donatello. And right now, he's sick. Really sick. He was scratched by one of Bishop's outbreak mutants, and now he has become a savage, mindless monster. Had it been any of us, we would have looked at Don to save the day. But even with Leatherhead's help, we're no closer to finding a cure. With no other options, we tracked down the one man who might have a cure: the man responsible for the outbreak in the first place: Agent Bishop.
- Bishop: Welcome.
- Leonardo: [Narrating] Bishop agreed to cure Don, but for a price.
- Bishop: There is an item I require, a relic. I want you to retrieve it.
- Leonardo: From where?
- Bishop: New York. From your friend... Karai.
- Leonardo: [Narrating] Infiltrating Foot central? It's an impossible mission. But what can we do? Our brother is sick. And there's nothing we won't do to save him. Even if it means... making a deal with the devil.
- Agent Bishop: Comm systems on, secure channel
- The Entity: Ah, Agent Bishop, we are transmitting coordinates to you even as we speak
- Bishop: And in return?
- Entity: We will let you know, will you be retrieving the artifact yourself?
- Bishop: Of cause not, i'll sending in special agents.
- Leatherhead: Donatello's condition continues to deteriorate, there's not much time.
- Master Splinter: Doctor Stockman, Agent Bisharp told us you have administer the cure to Donatello.
- Baxter Stockman: To think I sunk so low that unparalleled genius would be used save the life of these freaks, unfathomable.
- Leatherhead: Where is the cure Stockman?
- Stockman: I am pulled sweet oblivion for what? this?
- Leatherhead: Show us the cure NOW!
- Stockman: CURE? you stupid animal, Agent Bishop lied there is no cure.
- Splinter: WHAT?!
- [Leatherhead growls and his eyes turn green on Stockman]
- Leo: April come in
- April: Go leo
- Leo: we've made it to the Foots garbage disposal facility, time for you & Casey to do your thing
- April: Casey's heading in to the power station now, stand by
- Casey: Hey if we gonna put a computer virus in here to shut down the power, how come you're not going in?
- April: Because I don't look like a janitor
- Casey: Gee thanks
- Leo: Keep us posted April, we're moving into position
- April: Roger that
- Leo: Well here the fun starts
- April: All the buildings garbage go through shoots that led to an incinerator
- Michelangelo: We're going in through the furnace, isn't that gonna be hot????
- Leo: It's our only way and that's not all,once through the incinerators we go up a shoots.
- April: Which Karai has secured with a deadly grid of lazers
- Leo: When the power drops we go up the vent, we gotta beat the emergency-power kicking in
- Mikey: Ah, Leo why is the grid still on?
- Leo: Casey, April, cut that power or we're turtles flambe.
- Casey: I've put in the stupid virus but it ain't working!
- Leo: Casey we really need that power out NOW
- Casey: Alright, you stupid computers, we're doing this old school, [picks up a computer] GOONGALA!!! [throws computer], Woo hoo
- Leo: Grids' down
- Karai: Find out what's going on . . . Leonardo is here, but why?, why would he come here?
- Leonardo: Good work Casey we're in, April go the phase 3: get to the copter
- April O'Neil: On it
- Leo: remember we get what we need and get out, Ralph you know what you have to do, Mikey you're with me, let's go
- Metal Mystic: Everything goes as planned my brothers.
- Earth Mystic: Soon we all be free!
- [About the mystic Heart of Tengu]
- Karai: No!! Give that to me!! You do not know what you are doing!!
- Karai: You cannot take that!
- Leonardo: Watch me!!
- Michelangelo: Auntie Em, Toto, are we home yet?
- Raphael: Up and at ‘em, goofball. [He pulls Michelangelo to his feet.] Casey did it. Let’s go!
- [The three turtles make a beeline for the hole in the wall.]
- Karai: No! [runs towards them.] Leonardo, face me!!
- [Leonardo turns and draws a sword, but Michelangelo catches him by the arm.]
- Michelangelo: Get in, Get out, right? It's not about Karai, right?
- Leo: [sheathes his katana.] Right.
- [They climb onto the rubble piled in front of the hole in the wall.]
- Karai: Stop them! Someone stop them!!
- [All three turtles jump. Karai and her Foot Elite reach the opening, but can only watch as the turtles climb up a ladder dangling from the helicopter.]
- Karai: No! No! [drops to her knees.] No-o! [echoes]
- Donatello: [Emerges from a cloud of mist, cured] Hey guys, what's up? [collapses into Leatherhead's arms]
- Leatherhead: I have you, my friend.
- [The other turtles ?]:
- Michelangelo: Welcome back, bro!
- Raphael: All right! Donnie! Welcome back!
- Leonardo: It’s so good to see you again!
- Master Splinter: Welcome back, my son.
- Don: I hope you guys didn't go through too much trouble for me. (Did you?)
- [Everyone is silent]
- Michelangelo: Nah.
Ninja Tribunal
- This is the Season 4 finale.
- Leonardo: (Narrating) You know, if there's one thing I've learned being a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle, is to always expect the unexpected. But with all of our training, and all of our hard work, I'd like to think that we're ready for anything. But sometimes, the unexpected is just a little too... unexpected.
- Michelangelo: No, no, I don’t think so. It just doesn’t speak to me. A little to the right. [Leonardo and Raphael lift the couch, with Donatello seated on it, and move it.] No, no, my other right.
- Raphael: I’ll give you another right, Mikey. A right hook.
- Donatello: Guys, let me get up and help. This is just silly.
- Leonardo: No, you stay right there and rest.
- Donatello: But I have rested. I’ve been resting for weeks. I rested while you guys fixed up the lair, I rested while you moved furniture, heck, I’m resting on the furniture you’re moving! I’m done resting.
- Leonardo: It’s just that we don’t wanna take any chances of a relapse.
- Raphael: Yeah, no offense Donnie, but you weren't too much fun when you were... sick.
- Michelangelo: Fun?! He was a monster. An absolutely, horrible, drooling big nasty-fanged monster! You tried to eat my leg!
- Donatello: I’m—I’m sorry, Mikey. Guys, I—I don’t remember any of that.
- Leonardo: It’s okay, Donny. Come to think of it, we have been cooped up in here for a long time. Who’s up for a little late night entertainment?
- Michelangelo: Are we sure that Donnie's all better? See the full moon, Donnie? Do you feel the monster inside? The monster taking control?! 'MWAHAHAHA!!!!
- Donatello: Oh no. I'm- I'm changing! RAAAAGGGHH!
- Mikey: AAAAHHH! HELP ME! HELP ME! HE'S TRYING TO EAT MY LEG AGAIN! AAAAAHHHHH!
- [After the enemy ninjas demonstrated their weapon sticks to the Turtles.]
- Raphael: Now maybe it's just me, but I think these guys plan to stick it to us.
- Juto-Shisho: Bow when you enter this sanctuary.
- Chikara-Shisho: We require warriors to combatant, and as pathetic as you are, you eight are our best hope.
- Leonardo: You expect us to fight each other?
- Raphael: Forget it, bucketheads.
- Kon-Shisho: You WILL fight, or you will be destroyed.
- [Back to New York City, the rooftop from which the turtles were kidnapped. Splinter and the Ancient One are searching the rooftop. The Ancient One finds the slashed mask left by the wooden warrior that Leonardo had fought.]
- Ancient One: The Mokusai no Bushi were here. [He studies gashes in the rooftop and then points to another area.] And here, signs of a struggle.
- Splinter: The Ninja Tribunal has taken my sons! Ancient One, you must take me to the tribunal.
- Ancient One: You know that what you ask is simply not permitted.
- Splinter: Permitted or not, I will protect my sons!
