"Tales of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles"--
This is where my story ends.
The evil Bishop,
who apparently started off as not evil,
wanted to destroy all mutants after
Superfly's attack on New York.
She lured us into a trap and unleashed her Mechazoids
on me and my brothers.
The whole place blew up, which totally wasn't my fault,
no matter what Raph says.
And we all got separated.
But even apart, we drew strength from each other.
That's what families do.
We beat Bishop's robots and are about to bring
the fight to her, which I'm sure is gonna go just great.
[light upbeat music]
[indistinct chatter]
[glass shattering]
- Ah!
OK, so this is not an evil robot factory, I'm guessing.
Sorry.
I mean, it's an honest mistake.
I'm sorry. I'm just gonna-- bye.
- [slurps]
[glass shattering] Ah! Augh!
Uh, hey.
- * One, two, three, four *
[upbeat rock music]
* *
[foreboding music]
* *
- I told you it wasn't the right place.
- It was the general area, OK?
And what are you, an expert on evil villain lairs?
- I know they don't usually valet.
* *
[loud clang]
[rat squeaking]
- Ha-ha.
The Mechazoid has to be here somewhere.
And if I've learned anything about ninja
through the various self-help videos and kung fu movies,
it's going slow and silent.
- Hey, I know you're in there, robot lady!
Open up!
This has to be the right place.
Ah, forget it. Ahh!
[door squeaks]
* *
- It's pretty quiet.
- Too quiet, right?
Like, maybe the Mechazoid knew we were following it
and led us into a trap and at any second
an army of destructo-bots is going
to come mess us up, right?
- Whoa, I just thought they had good soundproofing.
You've really embraced the whole paranoid
conspiracy thing.
[PA screeches]
- You were fools to come back here.
* *
- Ahh!
- Now who's paranoid?
- You.
It's still you.
- Fools to come back here?
What do you mean, come back here?
I'm pretty sure I'd remember this dump.
- You don't remember?
- Whoa.
- This is where you destroyed my life's work,
where you showed me a new purpose.
* *
- Ahh! [grunts]
[metal clangs]
* *
- That's a lot.
- OK, one, we didn't destroy anything.
And two, aren't robots supposed to help people?
- They are helping people, by eliminating you.
- What are you going on about, lady?
- I wasn't talking to you!
- You're not making any sense.
Are you feeling OK?
- It's a PA system.
She's talking to someone else.
- What? Who could she be--
[gasps] My brothers!
- My Mechazoids were going to lift up humanity,
but I see now that they need to protect us from mutants.
- Yeah, yeah, I got it, OK?
You hate mutants, blah, blah, blah.
Now why don't you show yourself,
and we can talk about it?
[alarm blaring]
[machine whirring]
Yeah, I don't-- I don't think we need to talk about it.
[robot whirring]
[footsteps pounding]
[grunting]
[whimpers]
- Goodbye, mutant.
- Ahh!
- Raph! - Ugh! Augh!
[robot clanging]
- Ugh. Augh.
* *
- [gasps] Leo? You're alive?
- Raph!
- I figured I was the only one left.
- Me too. I was just--
wait, why would you be the only one left?
You didn't think I could survive on my own?
Wait, what about Mikey and Donnie?
- Move!
- That's what I'm talking about.
OK, I get it.
This is us.
So that means these are Mechazoids.
- Hi-yah!
[loud clanging]
Raph!
[robot clanging]
[groaning]
- Ah!
Ahh!
- Guys, how's it going down there?
'Cause it doesn't look good.
And also, we've got a problem.
Um, there's Mechazoids on their way.
- Why is April here?
- Not because I asked her to come,
thereby putting her in danger, that's for sure.
- [gasps]
- [grunts]
Look, Bishop, you don't need to do this.
I promise you, mutants are really reasonable.
We're super chill.
[bird cooing]
- What?
- Except for that one.
[bird cooing]
- Augh, I knew it!
There's even more of you out there.
[bird caws]
- Guys? You're alive!
- Mikey!
- Mikey, do you know what this thing is?
- It's complicated, OK?
- We made it with mutant blood, and I'm next.
- You made a mutant?
[grunting]
- Hey, where's Donnie? - I'm right here.
Man, do I have a tale to tell you.
both: Donnie!
- Just hang on. Backup is on the way.
- Backup?
What are you talking about?
- Trust me, you're gonna love it.
- Donnie! - Leo!
- Oh, yeah!
Oh, let me get in on this.
- It's good to be back together, boys.
- Yeah, I-- I actually missed you guys.
- Are we ready? - Aw, yeah.
- Let's do this.
[upbeat rock music]
* *
[shouting]
[all grunting]
[electricity buzzing]
- Argh!
- Whoa!
- Wah!
[gunfire]
both: Ahh!
[electricity buzzing]
- Ahh!
- Ohh!
all: Augh! Augh!
- She seems pretty good at kicking our butts.
- We can still do this.
There's four of us and just one of--
[robots clanging]
[robots snarling]
OK, never mind.
[electronic beeping]
- T-T-Targeting all mutants.
[chain saw buzzing]
- Ahh!
[grunting]
- Ahh!
[bird squawks]
[bird cooing]
- [grunting]
- Your mere existence is the asteroid
that destroyed the dinosaurs.
You are a freak accident that threatens everything.
And I won't let that happen.
- Ahh-ahh!
- Mutants over robots all day!
All-- [gasps]
- Easy now.
Last time we tussled, it didn't go so good for you.
- We have changed since your first encounter.
- [grunting]
Wait, you talk now?
- Our code has grown beyond its limitations.
- Guys, I've got backup coming.
We just have to hold out.
- You, you're the one that tried
to overwrite my programming.
- Your programming is bad.
- Ahh!
[robot clanging]
- Ahh!
- 003, stop.
Rod is not a mutant.
- Incorrect.
His DNA contains a deviation.
- What?
- It means your eyes, dude.
- Will you shut up about my eyes already?
- All life forms have the potential for mutation,
including humans.
- What?
No!
I didn't write that into your code.
Mechazoid 003, shut down.
[electronic beeping]
- No.
[tense music]
* *
- All Mechazoids, shut down!
I'm commanding you!
* *
No! No!
Get back!
- Ahh!
[robots clanging]
- Well, our work here is done.
- Told her this was gonna happen.
- Who's hungry? - I could go for pizza.
- Oh, pizza sounds good. Yeah, yeah.
[robots clanging]
- Ahh!
- They're gonna tear her apart.
- She probably should have seen this coming, you know,
if she watched any robot movie ever.
[alarm blaring]
- [snarls]
[loud clang]
- [shouting]
[chain saw buzzing]
- Ahh!
- You're an idiot, but you're our idiot.
- Ow.
- Ahh!
- I'm not 100% clear on what we're doing, but I'm in.
- Run!
We'll hold them off.
[robots clanging]
- Come on!
[grunting]
[both shouting]
- Augh!
[chain saw buzzing]
[alarm beeping]
- Hey, there's another Mechazoid coming.
- Ahh!
Another?
[shouting]
[chain saw buzzing]
[grunts]
Ugh! - Ugh!
[groans]
Guys, I'm sorry.
- You should be.
This was a terrible idea.
Augh!
- [groaning]
[robot whirring]
[upbeat rock music]
- Ahh!
- Augh!
- Mission objective, protect all mutants.
- See, I told you backup was coming.
- [gasps] You did this?
- Yeah, I just switched one line of your code.
One word, actually, "destroy" to "protect."
See, I realized--
- Dude, don't ruin it.
- Yeah, for real.
Just take the win.
- Mechazoid 004 is unresponsive.
His code has been corrupted by the mutant.
The life forms pose a greater threat than we considered.
Therefore, all life must be destroyed.
- Hey, you're outnumbered, man.
For a walking calculator, you should really learn to count,
am I right?
- You're wrong.
[tense music]
* *
- [shouting]
[robots whirring]
[robots snarling]
- Learn how to count?
Yeah, you really roasted her there, Leo.
[light jazzy music]
[loud rumbling]
[dramatic music]
* *
[all screaming]
[glass shattering]
* *
[bird cooing]
* *
- Where are the turtles?
- Ugh!
- Seriously?
- They saved your life, man.
* *
[robot clanging]
- What are we gonna do?
There's people out there, the restaurant next door.
- I'm thinking.
- This can't be happening.
[gentle music]
All I wanted to do was help people like my sister.
* *
- What happened to her?
- You actually want to know?
* *
Helena was born without legs.
* *
I made her prosthetics that allowed her to walk.
She inspired me to do more for the world.
I thought I could save humanity.
- That's what we're trying to do.
We love humanity.
We just wanted to be a part of your world
with school and parties.
What I'm saying is, we're not the bad guys here.
You made these robots.
Maybe we can help you stop them.
Truce?
* *
- For now.
- Hey, you got a plan?
- Yeah, we go save people while the brains figure out
how to stop the Mechazoids.
- Wait, what?
- Good plan.
- There's nothing we can't handle together.
[all shouting]
[glass shattering]
[upbeat rock music]
* *
[robots clanging]
- Ahh!
* *
- Ahh!
- Whoa, save some for the rest of us, Metalhead.
- I sincerely apologize.
- Hey, you're pretty awesome, roboturtle.
Do you have a name?
- I am 004.
[robot clanging]
- Yeah, let's just go with Metalhead.
[alarm blaring]
- Nothing's working!
The code's changing too fast.
- Donnie, how'd you do it before?
- It was a lot easier then.
Now they're all alive and stuff.
It's like they mutated.
- You should just turn 'em off.
- Oh, Rod, you pampered imbecile,
for once in your life, will you shut--
- No, wait, he's right.
- He is?
- I am?
- An electromagnetic pulse.
It's like an off switch for everything technology.
- Of course.
If we could generate one big enough,
it'd shut down all the Mechazoids at once.
[electronic beeping]
[all screaming]
[tense music]
* *
- No.
- [grunting]
* *
- Oh, yeah, they're on the run.
- Incorrect.
They are returning to Bishop's command center
to stop your friends from detonating
an electromagnetic pulse, which is bad.
- Once the device is detonated, the resulting surge of energy
will disrupt electrical signals and shut down
all technology in a certain radius,
including the Mechazoids.
To achieve maximum range, it needs to detonate
as high as possible.
- I can try to--
[all shouting]
- Destroy all mutants and humans.
- Ahh!
[loud clang]
Sorry, it was on your face.
- Ow!
- [chirps]
- If one Mechazoid knows we have the EMP, they all do.
They'll come for us.
- I don't want to be that guy, but I
think they're already here.
- I'll take it to the roof.
- No, the Mechazoids are my responsibility.
I will take it.
- OK, yep, that's great.
It does seem pretty dangerous, so--
- Donnie!
- Fine, I'll go with her. Happy?
[dramatic music]
* *
OK, we're on the roof.
Set it off.
- We're not high enough.
- How are we gonna get--
oh, that cell tower.
That should give us enough altitude.
Quick, set the timer before the Mechazoids get here.
[robots clanging]
Never mind.
[grunting]
Bishop, go!
[grunting]
I'll hold them off.
You take the EMP and get to the tower.
[groaning]
Bishop!
- [grunts] - [snarls]
- Ungrateful robot!
I created you!
[robot clanging]
- What's taking so long?
- Dude, it's Donnie.
He's probably too busy being amazed by all this.
- Uh, guys, these things aren't stopping.
Back now! Ah!
- I apologize for destroying you.
[loud explosion]
- What have I done?
* *
- Come on, come on, come on.
- We cannot allow you to proceed, Josefina Bishop.
- Ugh!
I can't hold these things off much longer.
- Raph?
- Your life function will end now.
All life will end.
Destroy all mutants.
- That is not cool, robot cousins.
Wait, stop, I need that arm.
Error, error.
- Metalhead?
[groaning]
- You have failed.
Mechazoids are superior to organic life-forms
in every way.
- No! - No!
[electronic beeping]
- And now the lives of you and your mutant friends will--
[bird cawing]
- What?
[bird cooing]
* *
[electronic beeping]
- What the heck is that?
[timer beeping]
- Pigeon Pete! Yes!
I made him!
You can do it, Pete.
* *
[bird cooing]
* *
[timer beeping]
[loud explosion]
- Hate you.
- Ugh.
Uh, hello?
Evil robot?
- Ah! [panting]
Wait a minute.
Did we actually win?
Mikey?
[sirens wailing]
- Metalhead, he didn't make it.
[somber music]
But he's a robot.
We can probably just turn him on later.
We totally won.
- See, what did I tell you?
[bird cooing]
[electricity buzzing]
[all shouting]
- That's right, the Turtles proved themselves heroes
once again, averting a full-on Robo-Armageddon
with the help of a plucky investigative journalist.
Remember, it's not paranoia if you're right.
[phone beeping]
- Dad, Dad, you're never gonna believe it.
I know what I want to be-- a mutant!
Yep, I just need some mutant blood
and probably like $5 million start-up cash.
- This pigeon's right kooky, isn't he, mate?
Oh, I love him.
He's welcome to stay with us.
[bird cooing]
Go, birdie.
Mad as a cut snake, this one.
What a hoot.
- My name is Josefina Bishop.
I want to turn myself in.
- We know who you are, Ms. Bishop.
We are admirers of your work.
- What?
- You had the right idea with your Mechazoids.
With enough resources, we think you could help save the world
from the mutant threat.
Would you like that?
- Yes.
Yes, I would.
- You should've seen it.
- I was like the leader of my own team.
- I told you.
- It was, like, really cool, and there
was, like, a lot of chemistry. - Beast mode.
- No, but for real, you guys, even though you weren't there,
I felt like you were there, you know?
You inspired me.
- Yeah, you read that in a self-help book?
- Nerd. [clears throat] Sorry.
- I thought it was beautiful.
- [yawns, chitters]
- Uh, the party?
We sort of skipped the party.
We kind of just want to hang with each other tonight.
- [sighs, chitters]
[upbeat funky music]
* *
- Leo, Donnie is making us watch nerd stuff.
Don't leave us in here alone.
- It's not nerd stuff.
It's an anime masterpiece.
- I'm coming.
