01x01 - Leo Nardo Stands Alone!

[bunniefuu]

[loud expl*si*n]

[all clamoring]

[radar beeping]

- The mutants that stopped that
giant monster, they're heroes.

- You're heroes!

[cheers and applause]

- I saw them.

They saved everyone.

- You're heroes.

[cheers and applause]

You're heroes.
[indistinct chatter]

- You're heroes.

- Leo.
- Yeah.

- Leo.
- Whoo-hoo.

- Leo!
- Dude, come on.

Let's go already.
- We're getting breakfast.

- Bacon, egg, and cheese!

- [speaking Vermin]

- Ugh.

Dad, why are you still
talking in Vermin?

God, it's so annoying.

- He's doing it for Scumbug.

She wants him to make
more of an effort

in their relationship.

But anyways, just... just go
on without me, all right?

I... I'm not hungry.
You're good.

- Not hungry?

That doesn't even make sense.

- What are you doing?

- Nothing!

You... you know, it's homework.

- He's doing his stories again.

- I'm definitely not
working on my comic book!

Just pick me something up.

- All righty, you're loss.

- Gonna get that
bacon, egg, cheese!

- Fair warning, Leo,
I'm going to eat yours.

- "Tales of the Teenage
Mutant Ninja Turtles,"

issue one, starring Leonardo.

- They're heroes.

[crowd cheering]

- You're heroes!

- "They're no heroes,"
she said very dramatically.

[dramatic music]

[screen shatters]

- They're no heroes.

They're the danger.

- One, two, three, four.

[upbeat rock music]

* *

[train horn blares]

"- In the secret lair
of the Ninja Turtles"...

- You guys are going
to be there, right?

Not that I'm not
great at parties,

but seriously,
if you guys aren't there,

I'm going to freak out.

- Not go to a party?

Dude, I am the party.

- Of course we're going.

It's a costume party.

We've got costumes.

- Come on!
[grunts]

Almost.

Ah.

You couldn't have gone with
a more shell-friendly outfit?

- Come on, just pull.

- I've got a lot going on
with my investigations, OK?

So you better show.

Did you know there's a
new street g*ng in town?

- What?
Where?

I need new butts to kick.

- Dude, you shouldn't
be so aggro.

- Hey!

- Sometimes you get farther
with a smile and a kind word.

Just saying.

- Yeah, sure, Mikey.

Next time I'm in a fight,
I'll just tell jokes.

That'll really get him.

- [groaning]

- I sent you a pin
where the party's at.

And Donnie helped me set
up a thing, so we always

know where the other one is.

- Ooh.
- Oh, h*.

OK.

- Listen, you better
not be late, OK?

Bye.

- Ahh, isn't she the best?

We should probably get going.

I'll map us.

- Will you stop
touching the phone?

You already broke yours.

Besides, there's no rush.

I looked up party
etiquette on Wikipedia,

and it says you're supposed
to be there 30 minutes

after start time.

- Let's get there now
and hide and then pop out

and surprise everyone.

- You think there's going
to be a dance battle?

- Will you give me that back?

I got to make
sure it's charged.

You don't want to be
that guy that's going

around asking for a charger.

[phone chiming]

- Wait, what happened?

Do... Donnie, fix it.

- Fix it?

I'm not the IT guy.

- You do have that vibe.

- Yeah, sure.

- OK, fine.

Huh?

It's a bunch of alerts.

There's some kind
of mutant sighting.

That's weird, like,
suspiciously weird, you know.

- Doesn't matter, because
we are going to this party.

- We can't just ignore
a rampaging mutant alert.

What if it's
Rocksteady or Bebop?

You know how they are.

Or some new mutant
that's in trouble?

We should go help.

[all groan]

We'll go check this out
and then go to the party,

all right?

It's probably, like, nothing.

Five minutes tops.

According to Donniepedia
here, we'll be

getting there right on time.

All right, boys, let's do this.

- Let's do this.

- Yeah.

Come on, Nardo.

[rock music]

- Everyone ready?

Slow-motion walk.

* *

- [speaking Vermin]

- Dad?

- [speaking Vermin]

- Oh, come on.

- You're still talking Vermin?

- It's just a party.

- Everyone loves us.

We're superstars.

Influencers.

- We're heroes.

- [speaking Vermin]

- I'm not going to let
anything happen to us, Dad.

- I've got this.

- [scoffs]
I'm not worried.

- Humans all seem
pretty awesome.

- Even if we run into trouble,

there's nothing we
can't handle together.

[loud whooshing, clattering]

[loud expl*si*n]

Ahh!

Oh!

[panting, ears ringing]

[grunts]
What?

Huh.

[groaning]

[sirens wailing,
helicopter blades whirring]

Uh, Mikey?

Donnie?
Oh!

Guys? Guys?

[loud expl*si*n]

[siren wailings]

[tense music]

This is really bad.

[loud clattering]

Hello?

Raph, is that you?

You better not be
messing with me, man.

* *

OK, co... come out
where I can see you.

* *

[gulps]

* *

[dramatic music]

Ah!

[robot whirring]

[urine trickling]

- Ah! Aah!

[dog whimpers]

- OK, I got this.

[saw whirring]

Never mind, I don't got this.
Guys!

[car horns honking]

- Ah, ah.
[panting]

[panting]

[metal clanging]

What is that,
some kind of robot language?

It's cool but also
terrifying at the same time.

[grunting]

Ahh!

Ah!

Oh, crud.



I should have jumped on one!

[metal thuds]

Augh!

[groaning]

[robot growls]

Get off!

Think, Leo, think.

What would Donnie do?

Uh.

Tha... that's it.

I have to reprogram it.

[robot growls]

And I have no idea
how to do that.

[robot snarls]

Uh, return to main menu?

[robot whirs]

[robot powering up]

Close main menu.
Close the main menu.

Whoa.
Hey.

Watch the feet.

OK.

Ahh!

Ugh!

[robot beeping]

All right, we're doing
this the old-fashioned way.

What about this?

[grunting, metal thudding]

Ha!

Oh.

What?

Did you seriously learn
"ninjitsu," like, right now?

That's cheating.

[grunting]

Ah!

Wah!

Ah.

Oh.

Ha!

Ha!

- No.

Zero One, reacquire target.

- [gasping]

[panting]

[sirens wailing]

What am I going to do?

I... I... I've never
done anything like this

without my brothers.

[pigeons cooing]

Oh, you guys don't
have to go like that

and leave me here all alone.

[sighs] I've got no idea
where my brothers are

or if they're OK.

Hopefully, they didn't
go back to the lair.

If... if anyone led those
mechazoid things

back there, they'd...

they'd fine Dad.

[sighs] I need help.

But...

- Hey!

Try using
your inner monologue, pal.

Some people are trying
to sleep.

- Sorry!

- You're the one who's
screaming, Paulie!

- Don't talk to me
that way, Roger!

- Don't me talk to you?

Don't you talk to him that way!

- His phone!

D... D... Donnie has his phone.

April can track him.
- That's it.

I'm coming down there.

- You're coming down here?

No, no, I'm coming up there.

- Uh, I'm leaving now.

Thank you.

Thanks.

- I knew it.

I knew they were
going to pull this.

[phone chimes]
Ugh!

I told them.

I knew they weren't
going to show.

Well, I guess it was
only a matter of time

before fame got to their heads.

[all cheering]

Oh, uh, hey.
Hey, guys.

Don't mind me.

I... I love parties.

Heh.

I hate parties.

- [snoring]

[phone chiming]

[door chimes]

[robot snarling]

- [sighs] You got to buy
something if you're going

to use the bathroom, dude.

[robot snarls]

[sighs] Later.

[sirens wailing]

- Ah!

[muffled dance music, cheering]

- I really need
to start building

real human relationships.

Oh!

Are you serious?

How could I forget my phone?

- Whoa!

April, it's OK.

It's me, Leo.

Friend.

- Leo, you scared
the heck out of me!

You do not walk up on an
unaccompanied young woman

in the city!

Where have you been?

Wait, where are your brothers?

- You remember all those
alerts we were getting,

the mutant sightings?
Yeah, it was a trap.

- What?

- Just look.

- Oh.

[helicopter blades whirring]

What happened?

- Here's how I remember it.

All the sightings
led to the shipyards.

I told everyone we had
to be more careful,

but no one listened to me.

- I'm just going to run
in and punch their stuff!

[roars]

- What if we all fart
at the same time?

That's my best plan.

- Beep, boop, beep, boop.

Our best plan of action
is to Google things.

- Donnie, did not say that.

- That was the gist of it.

But then, in the middle of a
maze of shipping containers,

we found it.

That is a mutant?

Maybe?

This is highly suspicious.

And we need to think
this through, team.

- Thinking is hard.

I don't do it, personally.

- Let's just punch it!

- Sorry, gentlemen.

I can't engage right
now because I'm

knee-deep in a new algorithm.

- This narration is
incredibly biased.

I just have to say that as,
like, a journalist.

- As team leader,
I took the initiative

and made the first move.

[zapping]

That's when I knew
it was a trap.

- You have fallen into my
trap, you reptilian mutation,

for I am Bishop.

- Bishop?

Like, what, like, one name?

Like Drake?

That's kind of sick.

- For the survival of humanity,
all mutants must be destroyed.

Mechazoids, attack!

- And then...

[mechazoids growling]

...you know,
it got complicated.

- Uh-huh.

- Look, the guys are out there.

And they're in trouble.

I'm going to need your phone.

Donnie said you
could track him.

- OK, stop, stop, stop.

Can I just wrap my
head around all this...

and no offense... your
absolutely awful storytelling.

Evil mutant-hunting robots
and a lady with a robot hand?

- Yeah, wa...
was that not clear?

I think she had some kind
of adult intern with her.

[mechazoid snarls]

- Come on.

I forgot my phone
up at the party.

But we can get it and...

- Uh, I forgot about the party.

I don't have my costume.

- Well, technically,
your whole, like, thing

is a costume.

- No, I can't go out there
like this without my brothers.

We... we're a team.

If I show up alone,
it'll be weird.

[laughter]
- What do you think?

- Whoa.

Nardo, you made it.

- Dude,
where are your brothers?

It's like seeing one Jonas.

- [gasps]

- Wait, that's the mechazoid?

It looks like someone
made it in a garage.

And not a nice garage, either,
just like a regular garage.

- Come on.

- Wait, I'm confused.

Is that a costume?

Dang it.

Randy, you showed me up again.

- Come on, you stupid elevator.

Close, close, close.

Ah!

[elevator dings]

both: Ahh!

- Come on.

[rock music]

* *

- I told you.

You're all like,
"k*ller robots?

I got to wrap my
head around this."

- Oh, what do you... do you
want a written apology?

- We have to get that phone.

I don't think
this thing will hurt you.

It's only after mutants.

- I'm really sorry,
but that is a little bit

of a relief for me.

- What floor?

- 10th.

[loud thudding]

It's coming.

- How about this one?

- Hmm?
- What?

- [roars]

- It won't hurt you.

It's only after mutants.

- We're pretty sure.

- Ahh! Ahh! Ahh!

- Don't be so dramatic, Carl.

- Go, go, go, go, go.

- Hey, maybe consider going
to parties on the first floor

next time?

- I didn't even want to go.

- Yo, dude, get inside.

- Come on, Wendy.

Will you just let
me in already?

I'm sorry, OK?

- No.

It's over.

- Wendy, Wendy, Wendy!

You got to let me in!

- Go away, Tommy.

- [panting]

- Wait,
did we actually lose it?

- This is a lot of stairs.

I'm obviously not complaining,
but maybe you could just...

- Ah!

[glass shatters]

- Leo!

- [grunting]

Go!

Find the phone!

- OK.

But only because it's safer.

Eh.

[indistinct chatter]

- Let's go!

Yeah!

- [inhales]
Excuse me.

Sorry.
Coming through.

Great costume.
Love that.

Forgot my phone.

Very chill, though.
Excuse me.

OK.

Hello.

Uh, you might want to
take that off, like, now.

This is crazy.

This is crazy.

OK.

Come on, Donnie.

Where are you?

Oh.

That's a lot of messages.

And emojis.

- April.

- [gasps]
Are you OK?

- Yeah.
I lost it.

Did you find Donnie?

- No.

I'm trying to get his location.

- These things are hunting
us just for existing.

My brothers, they're probably
all getting dissected or... ah.

- Whoa, whoa, relax.

They're going to be fine.

You all fought a giant
Kaiju mutant monster.

I mean, how hard
can a few robots be?

- Yeah.
No.

I... I guess.

I just... we've
always been together.

I always think of
myself as the leader.

But without them,
I don't know how to do this.

Without them,
I'm... I'm nothing.

Ow!
What was that for?

- Hey, you're not nothing, Leo.

You should try and
believe in yourself, 'cause...

I know your brothers do.

And so do I.

- Thanks, April.

That makes me feel a lot...

oh!

Ah.

Oh, come on!

April!

- Ooh.

Now I see what you
mean about the costume.

- Hey!

Get off my friend.

Shoo!

- Shoo?

Are you throwing books at it?

What, do you think it's going
to read up on being nicer?

- Oh, sorry.

Maybe I wasn't expecting
to fight robots.

- [grunting]
Just find Donnie!

- The phone!

It's behind you!

- OK, I see it.

[grunting]

[phone chimes]

Ha, ha!

He's in Times Square!

- Ugh, why'd he go there?

That place is awful.

- I mean, it's all right.

Whoa.

- Hey, maybe focus on the robot
trying to whack you, though.

- [grunts]

- Ah!
- [grunts]

- Whoa!

That was pretty good.

- [grunts]

- No!

I believe in you!
- Thanks!

Ahh!

[grunting]

- Leo, what should I do?

I... I saw a fire
axe in the hallway.

I feel like maybe I
should go and get it?

- Yeah!
Do that!

Oh!

[grunting]

Whoa.

Hey, robot.

You... you talk, right?

Why are you doing this?

We don't even know you.

[mechazoid snarls]

Robot?

- You want to know why
I'm doing this, mutant?

Hmm?

- Bishop.

- Because mutants are a
threat to all of humanity.

I'll find you and the others.

And I will show the world.

- Wait, you don't have them?

That means the guy's,
they're... they're alive!

That's... whoa!
- Leo!

Duck!

[yelling]

- You almost hit me.

Oh, you got it
right in the junk.

- Sorry.

I never swung
a fire axe before.

And also, I...
I think these things

might be indestructible.

- The hose.

April, go get the hose!

- Sure.

Why not?

- OK, machine.

You want to do this?

[mechazoid snarls]

Oh.

Whoa.

I... I think we should talk
about it before we do,

you know?

I... I think a healthy debate
could open up your mind

to a series of
possibilities you've

maybe never considered before.

[grunting]

Now, April!

- [screaming]

Whoa.

[electricity zapping]

[distorted whirring]

- Ah!

[car alarm wails]

I think we got it.

[distorted whirring]

- Oh.

No, there it is,
still walking around and stuff.

- Let's just hope it doesn't
find a big bowl of rice,

'cause it's wet,
like when you drop your phone

in water or... you know what?

Never mind.

- I bet if we
follow that thing,

it'll lead us right to Bishop.

Then we can find my brothers.

- Hey,
not bad for someone who's

nothing without his brothers.

- Yeah, maybe I can
do this on my own.

- Oh, no, you should
definitely still find them.

- Oh, totally, totally.

I was just feeling confident.

- Right, no, yeah.

I just feel like you... like
you still really need them,

is the thing.

- Right, right.

I... I agree.

Like, you're right.

[explosions, sirens wailing]

- You think this is over?

This is just the beginning.

[suspenseful music]
