LEONARDO:
Those two creatures
are around here somewhere.

I just know it.

What are they?

Who knows?

Ever since Shredder
unleashed that mutagen

in the zoo years ago,
the city's been crawling

with mutant animals.

Yuck! Mutant animals,
my least favorite kind.

Hey, what are we,
mutant vegetables?

[CROWD SCREAMING]

[RAZAR SNIFFS]

RAZAR:
I smell something good to eat.

I know just how you feel,
Razar.

I'm starving.

Toka, you are the
only friend I've got.

[CROWD SCREAMS]

Nothing can stand in our way.

Don't you know it ain't polite
to eat with your paws?

DONATELLO:
A mutant wolf and
a mutant snapping turtle.

Oh, man, not another
mutant turtle.

I'm starting to feel...

Help me. Un-unique.

Let's demolish
these copycats.

[♪♪♪]

You little twerps
better leave my friend alone.

[ROARS]

Leonardo, give that creep
a manicure.

The claw is mightier
than the sword.

[ROARS]
Whoa!

[GRUNTS]

Razar! Save me!

Leave him alone!

[TURTLES YELLING]

[ALL GRUNTING]

RAPHAEL:
Aw, man,
they could've gone anywhere.

Well, at least
we saved the mall.

RAPHAEL:
You call that "saved," huh?

Well, maybe it'll need
a few new windows.

MAN [ON TV]:
What caused this calamity,
friends?

It was a bunch of mutants.

And that loud,
sucking sound you hear,

that's the sound of
businesses fleeing the city.

Employment down 38 percent,

new construction off
by nearly 50 percent.

Who is this wacko?

You mean you've never
heard of A.J. Howard,

the eccentric billionaire?

No, sorry dude, I'm not up
on my eccentric billionaires.

And why is business down?

Because this city
is crawling with mutants.

I've even had to delay the
opening of my new skyscraper,

the Howard Building,

until these abnormal creatures
are off the streets.

Now, thousands of you
have sent in

for my free anti-mutant
bracelets,

and I appreciate your support.

So out of my own pocket,
I've hired this man,

Dirk Savage,
a professional mutant hunter.

Ah. You mutants
can't hide from me.

I'm gonna get every
last one of you freaks.

[GROWLS]

Even us?

Now, if you see any
unusual-looking creatures,

dial our mutant hotline
and you'll see

some world-class
mutant hunting.

That's 555-NO MUTANTS.

Mutants are the problem. Grr!

And Dirk Savage
is the solution.

That dude couldn't be after us.
We're the good guys.

You heard him.
He said he was gonna catch

every last one of us.

But don't those idiots know
there are good mutants

as well as bad ones?

Evidently,
A.J. Howard doesn't.

Where'd he dig up
that nutball Dirk Savage?

That's what we've
gotta find out.

APRIL:
We don't have much in the
newsroom files on Dirk Savage.

He's a professional
soldier of fortune.

He's fought for governments
all over the world.

Usually against rebels,
misfits and other outcasts.

Well, at least
we know he's tough.

What, the eye patch
didn't convince you?

[TURTLECOM BEEPS]

Leonardo here.

Hey there, bubba.

Napoleon Bonafrog.

NAPOLEON:
Yup. Me and ol'
Genghis Frog here

decided to pay y'all a visit.

Uh, this may not exactly
be the best time

for you guys
to be in the city.

What do you mean?

DONATELLO:
Where are you now?

Oh, we came out of
an underground river

into this big ol' swamp
in a park.

Say, what's the big--
[ZAPPING NOISE]

GENGHIS:
Um, uh, Napoleon,
old buddy?

I seem to have gotten myself
a little bit stuck here.

All right, you mutant scum.
You're mine!

[BLOWS LANDING
AND FROGS SHOUTING]

Napoleon, Genghis,
get out of there, now!

Boy, Dirk Savage
doesn't waste any time.

LEONARDO:
And neither do we.
Come on.

[GRUNTS]

You leave my bubba alone,
you hear?

[BOTH GRUNT]

SAVAGE:
There's no room in our fair city
for mutants like you.

You know, Genghis,
I'm beginning to wish

we'd stayed down
in the Everglades.

There was a struggle here,
all right.

That creepazoid
got our froggy amigos.

Terrific. Eight zillion
mutants in this series,

and he catches
two of the good ones.

Guys,
this is getting serious.

I think we'd better
consult with Master Splinter.

[♪♪♪]

Okay, you frog faces.
Step lively.

Heh-heh.
My latest catch.

HOWARD:
Good work, Savage,

but there's still
much more to do.

I want those
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.

They're the most dangerous
mutants in the city.

Don't worry.
Ha-ha-ha.

They're tops
on my hit list.

SPLINTER:
I cannot help but feel

that there is more to this
situation than meets the eye.

Sensei, what meets the eye
is plenty.

I sense
that the solution

lies with this mutant hunter,
Dirk Savage.

Well, we can put him
out of commission.

That would be a solution.

That is not what I mean,
Raphael.

He seems to be
your worst enemy,

but he may be
your only ally.

Master Splinter,
he's out to capture all of us,

maybe even you.

Hatred such as his
is born of ignorance.

If you could show him that
not all mutants are evil,

it might change his mind.

Oh, I don't understand
Master Splinter sometimes.

I mean, how are we
supposed to change

that wacko's mind
about mutants?

I'd like to change his mind,
all right,

with these.

Uh, dudes,
what am I doing up here?

Michelangelo!

DONATELLO:
It's some kind
of electromagnet.

It's got him by the buckles
on his bandoleers.

Hang on,
we'll get you down.

[SAVAGE LAUGHS]

SAVAGE:
You aren't gonna
do anything.

You're mine now.

[♪♪♪]

[♪♪♪]

[SAVAGE GRUNTS]

SAVAGE:
These sewers are too good
for the likes of you,

mutant scum.

Hey, hey, hey!
We're not mutant scum.

We're mutant turtles.

Yeah. And before
you go ballistic,

you're gonna listen to us.

Just being mutants
doesn't make us evil.

As far as I'm concerned,
the only good mutant

is a c*ptive one.

[♪♪♪]

SAVAGE:
Stun ray, turtle.

[RAPHAEL GRUNTS]

Listen, you maniac.
We're the good guys!

Lying mutant slime!

[BOTH GRUNTING]

[RAPHAEL THUDS]

[COUGHING]

Chill out, Savage.

SAVAGE:
Say goodbye to your friends,
freaks.

I'll be back
for you later.

[ENGINE STARTS]

Man, that guy is a
major loon, you know that?

We've gotta track them.
Come on.

Any signals yet,
Donatello?

Aw, nothing. Savage must have
wrecked their Turtlecoms.

Guys, you better
get over here right away.

I hope it's good news.

I'm not sure.

But I think Irma's
discovered something important.

Now for the compliance cuffs.

Poor Leonardo
and Michelangelo.

And poor us, bubba.

From now on, turtles,
you'll do my bidding.

We'll never obey you.

Oh, I think you will.

Now, bow before me.

Unh! Resist it,
Michelangelo.

Dude, I can't.

RAPHAEL:
I hope this is good.

Good, maybe.
Weird, definitely.

A.J. Howard, foe of
mutants everywhere,

used to own
a genetics lab.

Yeah, but the lab
was abruptly shut down.

And on the same day, A.J. Howard
vanished for over a year.

TV ANNOUNCER:
And now, Vernon Fenwick
with the Channel 6 editorial.

This reporter praises
the efforts of A.J. Howard

to clean up the city
of mutants.

For years,
we humans have stood by

while these nasty creatures
took over our streets.

But no more.

Over half the people
in the city

are wearing Mr. Howard's
anti-mutant bracelets.

So look out, mutants.

Your number's up.

Excuse me. I have to go
wring Vernon's neck!

No, no, no.
Wait, wait.

We've gotta find out
what's really going on here.

What about that mysterious
building of Howard's?

The one that's being
kept under wraps.

Good thinking.
You and Irma go check it out.

We've gotta find where Leonardo
and the others are being kept.

And how are we
supposed to do that?

By having Dirk Savage

capture a mutant
wearing a homing device.

Hello? In case
you hadn't noticed,

we are rapidly running
out of turtles.

I know.
But there's someone

who may be able
to help us.

MONDO GECKO:
Hey, turtles.
Am I glad to see you.

I was worried about you.

What, with all this
mutant hunting going down.

Well, we're gonna put
a stop to it, Mondo Gecko.

And we need your help.

Hey, are you sure we
shouldn't all just lie low?

We can't. They've got
Leonardo and Michelangelo.

Michelangelo?
My best home turtle.

We gotta do something.

I've got a plan,
but it's risky.

I don't care, man.

I'll do anything
to help Michelangelo.

Okay, then here's
what we're gonna do.

[♪♪♪]

[SNIFFS]

There's food
around here, buddy.

Hey, look. Someone
left their dinner for us.

I knew it.
My nose never lies.

Ah, Toka!

You mutants are so dumb
it's pathetic.

[GROWLS]

[GROWLS]

You're messing with
the wrong guy, human.

I haven't even
gotten started yet, fuzzy.

[♪♪♪]

Blast!

Well, at least
I've got you, freak.

TOKA:
Unh, Razar, help! Help me!

[ENGINE STARTS]

That little guy was
my only friend in the world.

I'll get you for this,
human.

If it's the
last thing I do.

[HOWLS]

RAPHAEL:
Anything yet?

No. Mondo Gecko's just

skateboarding
around the streets.

[YELLS]

[♪♪♪]

Gotcha!

[ENGINE STARTS]

He just took off
like a bat.

Savage must have gotten him.
[ENGINE STARTS]

APRIL:
I wonder why
it's all covered up.

That A.J. Howard must
really like surprises.

April, we're never gonna
get past all those guards.

Then we'll just
have to sneak in.

[ENGINE STARTS]

The coast is clear.
Let's move.

DONATELLO:
Up there.

From now on,
you'll obey only me.

Now they've got
Mondo Gecko.

We've gotta do
something.

Maybe there's some way of
short circuiting these bars.

Wake up and smell
the pizza, dude.

Even if we got free,

these compliance cuffs
would stop us.

There they are.

Man, you'll never
destroy all us mutants.

Whoever said anything
about destroying mutants?

I want you all
as my personal troops.

But, why?

Does this answer
your question?

[GRUNTS]

I too am a mutant.

In fact,
the greatest of them all.

A mutant slug.
That's novel.

Yeah. He looks the way I feel
first thing in the morning.

HOWARD:
An accident in my genetics lab
left me this way.

Now I am destined
to lead you, fellow mutants,

to absolute mastery
over the human race.

We gotta take this guy out.

All right, slug face,
you're coming with us.

On the contrary.
You're joining me.

[CONSOLE BEEPS]

Gecko, buddy,
what are you doing?

Uh, sorry.
I can't help it.

Run for it!

[♪♪♪]

HOWARD:
Those turtles know my secret.

I can wait no longer
to commence my master plan.

To the city.

DONATELLO:
You know, I'm beginning
to understand

what Master Splinter said.

Huh? What do you mean?

With Howard controlling
all those mutants,

our only hope
may be Dirk Savage.

That screwball?

How are you even
gonna find him?

DONATELLO:
By calling that
mutant hotline.

WOMAN [ON PHONE]: Hello?
Hello. Yes.

I wanna report two mutants.
Okay.

Uh, turtles.
Turtles, huh?

By the downtown fish market.
Oh.

Yeah, really, I've seen them
with my own eyes.

Bye, now.

That'll get his attention.

[♪♪♪]

I don't know how we're gonna
get past those guards.

HOWARD [ON RADIO]:
Boys, this is Howard.

We've wiped the mutants
off the streets.

You're relieved of duty.

Maybe if we wish real hard,
they'll all just go away.

Irma,
don't be ridiculous.

IRMA:
Don't knock it.
It worked.

I-I don't see
anything unusual.

Then why are they
keeping it under wraps?

Come on.

Phew! Of all the places
to arrange this shindig

you had to pick
a fish market? Phew!

All right.
I've got you this time.

Hold it, Savage.

We made that call
to the mutant hotline.

[LAUGHS]

Then you're even
dumber than I thought.

We've gotta talk to you.

I'm not paid to talk.

[ROARS]

You filthy freak.
I'll see you in chains.

[GRUNTS]

You humans all hate me.

I only had one friend
in this world.

[GROWLING]

And you took him away.

[WHISTLES]
RAPHAEL: Hey, wolf rat!

Catch!

[GRUNTS]

Down, boy. Bad doggy! Bad!

[GROWLING]

Whoa!

Let's curb this hound.

[♪♪♪]

[GROWLING]

RAZAR:
Stinking turtles.

I'll rip you to pieces!

Give me that.

You can't do this to me.

I'll destroy you.
I'll tear you apart.

[HOWLS]

I think somebody
around here

needs to go back
to obedience school.

Ugh. You--
You saved my life.

We told you, Savage.
We're the good guys.

But you've been going around
kidnapping our friends.

So, what does that
make you?

Oh, I-I was just
doing my job.

Yeah?
News flash, buddy.

Your boss is the biggest,
baddest mutant of them all.

Yeah. And that makes you
one of the bad guys.

HOWARD:
There it is, fellows.

LEONARDO:
That's the Howard Building?

Oh, well, it isn't really called
the Howard Building.

It's the Mutant Building.

IRMA:
Uh, what is that thing?

And what's in there?

A.J. Howard
a mutant slug?

I don't believe it.
[TURTLECOM BEEPS]

APRIL:
Guys, I'm at the top
of the Howard Building.

There's a huge statue here
of a--

A mutant slug.

Ah, see? There,
didn't we tell you?

We're on our way,
April.

I don't know
what he's up to.

But we've gotta
stop him.

DONATELLO:
All right, Savage.

Now you too can be
one of the good guys.

We'd better get
out of here.

Get them.

MICHELANGELO:
Dude, I don't wanna
be doing this.

Me neither. Ugh!

But I can't fight
the compliance cuffs.

Sorry, April.

"Down with mutants"
bracelets?

Why?

Because, my dear,

these are no
mere trinkets.

These are actually
smaller versions

of the compliance cuffs
I use to control the mutants.

And when I activate
my master control,

the hundreds of thousands of
people in the city wearing them

will do my bidding.

VERNON:
Oh, come on, chief.

You've got to wear it

to show your support
of A.J. Howard.

Uh, I'm not sure
I support that guy.

But he's ridding the city

of those nasty,
smelly mutants.

Well, now I'm sure
I don't wanna wear it.

Hey, hey, hey!
Come back here!

I must obey the will
of A.J. Howard.

I'm the boss.

You must obey my will,
mister!

HOWARD:
This city is mine.
Nothing can stop me now.

DONATELLO:
I'm getting some

extremely strange readings
from that statue.

It almost seems to be some kind
of a giant transmitter.

Uh, why is
this guy glowing?

DONATELLO:
That's it.

Those bracelets must be
just like the compliance cuffs.

And the gear in that statue
is controlling them all.

RAPHAEL:
Yeah, not for long.

Blast it!

HOWARD:
No!

We're free.

Yeah.
But they're not.

It worked!

He's back to, uh, normal.

You wanna catch mutants,

start with your former boss.

[♪♪♪]

I may not be able
to control the people,

but I can still
control these mutants.

Attack!

You'll pay
for your crimes, Howard.

Sorry, Raphael. Ugh.

We can't
help ourselves.

RAPHAEL:
Get the remote, Savage.

Hey.
We're free!

Ah. I'd say everything's
gonna be all right.

[CHUCKLES]

When will
I ever learn?

What's going on?

The expl*si*n must
have overloaded

the main
power generators.

Better jump
while you can, guys.

Look, I'm sorry
for what I did to you.

But from now on,

I'm going to try to understand
you mutants better.

And if you ever need
any help,

give me a call.

You know, this is
almost a happy ending.

What do you mean
"almost"?

How could it be
any happier?

Well, I don't know, dude.

But I feel
like something's missing.

Say, there, cousins.

What do you say
we treat y'all

to a nice jumbo pizza?

Now, that's what I call
a happy ending.

[♪♪♪]
