[♪♪♪]

Hmph. Are we having fun yet?

Get with it, Raphael.

Venice is one of the most
beautiful cities in the world.

Blech. Not to mention
the wettest.

Face it, dude.
This burg is just not happening.

But, guys,
this place is rich in history.

I don't know about you,

but my ninja moves
are feeling rusty.

Hi-ya!

Whoa! Hey!
Watch it, dude.

Sit down, Leonardo.
You're rocking the boat.

Whoa-oh!

Uh, hey! Wait up!

Guys!

Oh, Donatello, keep steering
in the same direction.

I smell pizza.

KRANG:
Everything on this dilapidated
piece of space junk

needs repairs.

[GROANS]

[WHIMPERS]

Lucky for us, we bought
that extended warranty.

I want off
this crummy asteroid.

I hate it here.
I hate it, I hate it, I hate it.

Ooh.
I must turn my Foot Soldiers

into an unbeatable army
of computerized warriors.

All I need are, mm,
several billion new parts.

And how do you plan
to pay for that?

It will cost a fortune.

KRANG:
This is where the money
will come from.

Venice, Italy.

Is that palace trimmed
in what I think it is?

Yes. Solid gold.

And it's filled with art
masterpieces worth a fortune.

Did you say "Venice"?

Isn't that where we
last tracked the Ninja Turtles?

Precisely.

I plan to double my pleasure
and double my fun.

How, by chewing gum?

No, you tin-faced twerp.

By capturing the treasures
of Venice,

I can hold them for ransom
and get revenge

on those wretched turtles
all at the same time.

[♪♪♪]

Whoa. Donatello's
doing an awesome job

steering us
through this busy canal.

Hey, Donatello, why don't you
watch where you're--?

Donatello?

Donatello?!

Hey, could you guys wait up?

I don't know a lot
about gondoliering,

but most of those guys
stay inside the boat.

APRIL:
Oh, and I just adore
my Paris apartment, chief.

[FRENCH ACCENT]
It is, how you say,
très élégant.

Well, forget the French
and start learning Italian.

I'm sending you
to Venice, Italy for a few days.

Venice? What's the story?

The big Mardi Gras and regatta
starts tomorrow.

You know
the kind of stuff we need.

Local color, costumes,
festooned gondolas.

What an idea.

An April O'Neil exclusive
from Venice.

The city of poetry, art and--

Romance.

Tall, dark, handsome
Italian men.

Pasta,
more Italian men.

More pasta, more--

Give me that.

Tell her the best part, Mr. T.

I know I'm going
to regret this.

Vernon thinks
he'll get seasick in a gondola.

So I'm sending Irma
to be your assistant.

Great. Oh, I'm crazy
about this foreign assignment.

I can't believe I'm actually
being paid to do this.

If you're insulted
by the money--

Only kidding.

[♪♪♪]

I'm thinking of writing a book.

A Down and Dirty Look
at the Sewers of the World.

What do you think?
Catchy title.

[DEVICE BEEPS]
The Turtlecom. Donatello here.

Great news, turtles.

I'll be in Venice tomorrow

to cover the Mardi Gras
for Channel 6.

Mardi Gras?
You know,

costumes, masks and carnivals.

Totally tubular, dudes.

It's party time.

This I proudly call
the Hydrofluxer.

Oh, it looks
real complicated to me.

Chewing gum looks complicated
to you, horn-head.

Now, pay attention to my plan.

This Hydrofluxer will amplify
the gravitational pull

of the full moon.

Keep your eyes
on this ridiculously expensive

scale model I had built
to demonstrate it.

Using its
molecular wave intensifier,

I will flood Venice.

This will force the citizens
to evacuate,

leaving their gold and treasures
for me to plunder.

[LAUGHS]

ALL:
Whoa!

[ALL COUGHING AND SPLUTTERING]

SHREDDER:
Brilliant, Krang.

Just brilliant.

Sorry. Sometimes
I get carried away

with my own genius.

You get carried away?

Uh, but what about
the Ninja Turtles?

Those shellbacks
won't know what him them.

[LAUGHS]

Now, remember, Shredder,

when you arrive
in Venice,

set up headquarters

in the subbasement
of the Opera House.

When do I leave?

Now seems like a good time.

[SHREDDER SPLUTTERING]

But not necessarily
a good place.

[CACKLES]

Turtles.
Trapped like sewer rats.

I love it.
Shredder.

Uh-oh, dudes. Looks like
the party's just about to start.

Did you say something
about being bored, Raphael?

Arrivederci, shellbacks.

[LAUGHING]

[♪♪♪]

Head for
the high and dry.

If you think
you'll escape death,

you've got water on the brain.

[LAUGHING]

[ALL YELPING]

Stupenduloso, dudes.

Surf's up.

Great idea, Michelangelo.

[ALL SPEAKING INDISTINCTLY]

[♪♪♪]

RAPHAEL:
Made it.

TURTLES:
Whoa!

[CROWD CHEERING]

Yo, turtles. Up here!

It's April and Irma.

Leave it to the Ninja Turtles
to make a grand entrance.

Hi, guys.

This is some celebration,
huh?

It was,
until Tin Grin showed up.

Shredder?

What's he doing here in Venice?

I don't know,
but I've got a feeling

we'll soon find out.

KRANG:
Shredder. Where are you?

In the Venice Opera House
subbasement.

What does it look like?
My apartment?

Actually, this looks nicer.

Enough of your feeble humor,
Krang.

Where is the Hydrofluxer?

There is a tiny problem,
Shredder.

The energy cell
that feeds the portal

needs a few minor repairs.

Is that why I was dumped
in the Grand Canal?

No, I thought that up myself.

Nice touch, don't you think?

The Hydrofluxer is too large
for the portal's power capacity.

I'll teleport it
piece by piece.

You'll have to reassemble it
there.

Wonderful.

Now he's sending me Tinkertoys.

Rocksteady and Bebop

will be bringing
the assembly instructions.

See that Shredder
gets these instructions.

Ciao for now.

[BOTH YELP]

Bebop and Rocksteady
are on their way now.

You're so good to me.

[TRADITIONAL MUSIC PLAYING]

Mmm. Great pizza,
huh, guys?

Truly. This is one
totally bodacious block party.

[LAUGHTER]

Hey. A troop
of street acrobats.

Come on,
let's watch.

It's Bebop and Rocksteady.

Hey.
Quit it.

[ALL LAUGHING AND CHEERING]

The turtles.

We gotta lose them.

[GROANS]

I think I'm gonna
lose my lunch.

ALL:
Hi-ya!

Oh, must you guys
always do that?

We gotta
get outta here.

Hey, let's get one of them
funny-looking rowboats.

[♪♪♪]

Uh, coming through, folks.
MAN: Ungh!

Pardon me, lady.

Hey, hey, nice costume.

APRIL:
What a story.
The chief is gonna love this.

Look out, April.

Those mutants are headed
this way.

[SNORTS]

Afternoon, ladies.

Hey, this boat is
made for rocking. Ha-ha-ha-ha!

[BOTH SCREAMING]

My camera.
It's not waterproof.

Toss it up here, April.

APRIL:
All right. Catch.

Oh!
Got it.

Help! I'm falling.

Yeah, I noticed.

[LAUGHS]
[SCREAMS]

[COUGHING]

We'll be fine, Irma.
Just don't panic.

Donatello! Save the tape!

"Save the tape"?

Aren't our priorities
a little mixed-up?

Save the assistant!

ROCKSTEADY:
Start paddling, Bebop.

We gotta get them instructions
to the boss.

Too bad we lost
Bebop and Rocksteady.

I'd still like to know what
Shredder and Krang are up to.

At least
I'm getting a great story.

Venice Mardi Gras invaded
by Dimension X mutants.

Looks like your boss
is getting

a lot more
than he bargained for.

Speaking of bargains,
look at my new Italian bag.

It's ruined.

Don't worry, Irma.
We'll find you a new one.

I'd settle for finding
the rest of this guy.

Hold on. What's this?

Looks like some kind
of modern art masterpiece.

It's a masterpiece,
all right.

A masterpiece
of treachery.

One of Shredder's
hench-mutants

must have dropped it.

So, like, what is it?

What's the scoop,
Donatello?

They look like instructions

for assembling
some kind of apparatus.

And you can't get
much vaguer than that?

Oh, no, this is awful.
Horrible.

What is?
What is it, Donatello?

You gonna
let us in on this,

or do we get Vanna
to start turning letters?

These are assembly instructions
for a Hydrofluxer

with Krang's plans
to flood Venice.

Oh, no. You're kidding.
That's horrible.

Hold on, dudes.

Venice already is flooded.

Uh, no, no.
I'm talking mondo flooded here.

Oh,
well, in that case...

ALL:
Turtle power!

I don't know
one part from the other

without the instructions.

You're supposed to be the brain
around here.

KRANG:
Bebop, you amoeba-brain.

You lost the instructions.

[GRUNTS]

Never mind, Shredder.

I'll talk you through
the assembly.

But first I'll send the final
and most important section

through the portal.

The molecular wave intensifier.

Yo, dude,

picking up anything
with a groovy beat?

No, just a lot of interference
from the Mardi Gras.

I'm looking for a clear channel.

Hold on. A Dimension X
portal entry is taking place.

There's some problem.

The portal energy is weak.

Can you tell what it is
they're sending?

It's definitely alien metal.
Here comes a readout.

Yes. Here it is
on Krang's inventory list.

It's the molecular wave
intensifier.

Does that wave
come with a cut and blow-dry?

That intensifier
sounds intense.

It is. The Hydrofluxer
just might not work without it.

I'm gonna use
a stronger magnetic field

to try and pull it off-course.

Go for it.

DONATELLO:
Well, is it working?

It sure is.

Cowabunga. Duck, dudes.

Whoa. And I always thought I
liked the sound of heavy metal.

Where's that vital part,
Krang?

What are you blabbering about?

I already sent it
through the portal.

Well, it never got here, and I
don't have time to wait for it.

The Hydrofluxer
looks fine without it.

Wait, Shredder. No, no, don't.

[WHIRRING]

And it runs fine too.

You fool.

Without the intensifier,

the force of the Hydrofluxer
can't be controlled.

It could amplify the moon's
gravitational pull

and turn Venice
into crab quiche.

Well, isn't that
what you wanted?

No.

All those precious treasures
will be ruined.

There'll be nothing left
for me to ransom.

[♪♪♪]

[GROWLING]

[ROARS]

April. What's going on?

We're in big trouble.

It looks like the turtles
weren't able to stop Shredder.

[ROAR]

Oh, yikes! Stone monster.
[SCREAMING]

Vernon's never gonna
believe this.

He's not the only one.

[ALL SCREAM]

IRMA:
Stop! Put us down!

[♪♪♪]

[♪♪♪]

Can you trace
the Hydrofluxer signal?

[IRMA SCREAMING]

Ow!

What was that?

It sounded like G
above high C.

I'd recognize
that decibel anywhere.

It's Irma.

Well, let's track it down.

[♪♪♪]

Irma's scream came from
somewhere around here.

Help!
Put us down.

There she is.
And April's with her.

What kind of bird
is that?

It's no bird,
it's a stone griffin.

I'll take care
of this rude dude.

I hope you remember to renew
your griffin-hunting license.

I got it.

[GRUNTS]

Correction: It got me!

DONATELLO:
Hey, you,
come back with our friend.

[ALL GRUNTING]

[BOTH YELPING]

Oh, thanks, fellas.

Come on, Irma. We've gotta
get back to the launch.

I left my camera.

And I left
my cowboy.

Oh, blast, the turtles.

How do they keep doing it?

Shredder, those shellbacks
have the wave intensifier.

Stop them.

Shredder, do this.
Shredder, do that.

When is it my turn
to start giving orders?

When your IQ is 968.655.

Hmmm.

I better save up
for a few night-school courses.

What are you up to,
Donatello?

Just making a few adjustments
to this Hydrofluxer part.

[♪♪♪]

[ROARING]

How many of those things
are there?

The molecular wave intensifier.

Hey, this is what the boss
was looking for.

Ooh, let's get it to him
on the double.

[GROWLING]

[♪♪♪]

What do we do now, dudes?

Does the word "panic"
seem in order?

Don't give up the ship
just yet, guys.

Pontoons.

Totally excellent concept.

This switch connects
the pontoons' propeller

with the Turtle Van engine.

That's for all you
technically-minded folks

at home.

Contact.

[♪♪♪]

They're gaining on us.

We gotta shake 'em.

Ooh, ooh. I got a idea.

Rocksteady,
you'll never make it.

Aw, don't be
such a worrywart hog.

Nice going around with you.

[PEOPLE SCREAMING]

We're gonna crash.

No, we're not.

Hey, we sunk the turtles.

All right.

Hey, how'd they do that?

[INTERFERENCE SQUEALING]

Mondo move, dude.

If you liked that,
you'll be wild about this.

Stop. Stop!

I can't. I can't!

[BEBOP AND ROCKSTEADY SCREAMING]

[♪♪♪]

The tidal wave
is out of control

and racing toward Venice.

Oh! Well, if I can't
plunder and steal,

I'll just have to settle
for total destruction.

All right, Krang.

I have
the molecular wave intensifier.

Well, what are you waiting for?
Use it.

There, it's done.

What's happening?
The tidal wave has stopped.

Everything is reversing.

What have you done?

It's those blasted turtles.

They must have tinkered
with the intensifier.

You've failed me again.

ALL:
Whoa!

There they go.

We just missed 'em.

Ah, what a shame.

And we were gonna throw them
a going-away party.

Let's see how much damage
those scaly shellbacks

did to my precious Hydrofluxer.

I despise those turtles.

[SOBBING]

I despise those turtles.
Ooh.

I hate to see
a grown brain cry.

[CROWD CHEERING]

And so Mardi Gras
is once again in full swing.

The citizens of Venice
are anxious to find out

who these heroes really are
under those turtle costumes.

The unmasking
will take place tonight

at the grand ball
at exactly midnight.

[CROWD CHEERING]

[♪♪♪]
