Mikey: What, you might ask yourself, would any sane turtle

be doing in an abandoned subway tunnel

- deep under the city? - ( rumbling )

A tunnel so decayed, it's going to collapse

from just one little noise.

And a huge weird thing howling at us at the top of its lungs.

( roars )

( roars )

Funny, I'm asking myself the same question.

( screaming )

( screams )

Doctor, I've never seen anything like it.

Me neither, Velma, I'm rapidly becoming convinced...

There are some things

man was never meant to temper with.

I must be insane, friends

I'd eat a bug to sell you a car.

Mm-mmm, now that's good eating.

If that don't tell you I've got the best used car deals in town--

( yawns )

Hey Donnie, whatchya doing?

I'm checking out these crystals we found

when we moved in here.

Trying to classify them, but I can't find anything like them in the books.

The microscopic crystal structures are linked,

almost like mutated brain cells.

♪ Ooh--wee--ooh ♪

I beg your pardon?

Late night monster movies.

"Perhaps there are some things man was never meant to tamper with."

Ha-ha, nothing says a turtle can't tamper though.

( clinks, whirring )

Huh?

Huh?

Donatello, what is it?

( yawns )

What is happening?

What's with the noise?

I'm not quite sure.

( whirring )

( growling )

( whirring )

Are we in any danger, Donatello?

Maybe the harmonics of the energy signature of the crystalline structure...

You don't know, do you?

Not a clue.

I started the whole thing.

( alarms blaring )

Now what is it?

Something tripped a perimeter alarm

in one of the old subway tunnels.

Whoa!

What in the...

Sewer rats are getting bigger.

Yeah, time to cut the cheese.

That's not what I meant.

Let's roll.

( squeaks )

Let's not announce ourselves.

Switch to stealth mode.

Nothing.

Don't be too sure.

This is odd.

What have you got?

Some kind of weird tracks,

melted right into the stone.

Whatever it was, it tunneled right through the cement.

Looks like the molecules have become unbonded.

( grunts )

Maybe some kind of catalyst or an acid?

Okay, this is the part in the monster movie

where the first attack happens.

The first guy never makes it, need I say more!

Just calm down Mikey till we find out what this is.

What is this?

Another mystery.

One thing's for sure though,

I've never seen anything like it.

That's it, I'm out of here.

Hey, what do you get when you cross a turtle and a chicken?

Mikey.

I need to get back anyway, to analyze this

and find out just what we're dealing with here.

( sizzling )

Hmm.

What that a good "hmm" or a bad "hmm"?

'Cause this is the part in the movie where

we should be looking for the monsters one weakness

or we can kiss our shells good-bye.

Trust me, you don't want to underestimate a monster!

( shudders )

Thanks.

What can you tell us, Donatello?

It looks like that creature

melted right through the stone.

Being able to liquefy stone is the perfect ability

for a subterranean life form.

I am hearing answers that raise more questions.

A wise strategist gathers all his information

before deciding on a course of action.

Anybody up for a fact-finding mission?

If something's out there looking for us,

I say we find it first.

All in favor say "Aye".

( all say Aye )

Uh...meep.

Close enough.

Good luck, my sons. May you return safely.

( imitates Splinter ) Yes, my brothers, good luck to you.

- Come on! - Yikes!

( teeth chattering )

( chuckles )

( whirring )

After you.

Huh? Whoa!

What is this place?

There's a whole network of abandoned subway tunnels,

from the early 1900s, down here.

Abandoned? Right.

Hear that creaking?

( rumbling )

These old supports should've given out long ago.

I suggest we all be really, really quiet.

Any sign of the creatures tracks?

Guys.

Nope, nothing, let's go home.

( rumbling )

Wha?

Shh, everyone be still.

Ahh, ahh, ahh...

Not a sound, got it?

I got it.

( sneezes )

( sneeze echoing )

( rumbling )

Mikey, for crying out loud,

next time bring an antihistamine.

Hey, how I'm supposed to stop a--

a huge, grotesque,

and frankly quite horrifying monster?

- Whoa! - Huh?

( shouts )

( roaring )

Whoa!

( shouting )

( panting )

( coughing )

Raph: This just gets better and better.

Don: Just a sec.

( whirring )

You think that thing survived?

Know your monsters, Raph!

It can melt rock.

Oh yeah, maybe I forgot because I was trying not

to get buried in a collapsing subway tunnel!

Everybody calm down!

Let's keep moving!

( grunts )

I'm beat.

( moans )

Even my backache's got a backache.

( grunts )

Let's make camp.

You up for first watch?

You know me.

( whirring )

( snoring )

Huh?

( snoring )

What the shell?

( voice echoes )

Whoa, where am I?

Hello?

( voice echoes )

Anybody here?

( voice echoes )

Huh?

Uh-oh.

( growling )

No!

- No! - Raph: Guys, wake up!

Mikey, rise and shine!

What?

Everybody up! We're under attack!

- What is it? - Our friend is back!

( growling )

So running would be good, right?

Huh?

Run!

Oh, great! The bridge is out.

Now what do we do?

Hurry, Raph!

Grab on!

Cowabunga!

Whoa!

Mikey, I told you, no more Cowabunga!

( shouting )

It's slipping.

Now what?

Crack the whip, on my signal,

one, two, three!

( shouting )

I like a little excitement first thing in the morning.

How we gonna get back with those things playing bowling for turtles?

Look at this.

Not to make things worse but you'll notice

the door was forced open, from the inside.

Something was trying to get out.

Ohh, that doesn't make things worse...

it makes things horrifying!

Shh.

Anybody got a clue what this place is?

You want a wild guess?

No.

I'm seeing devices related to physiology, biology,

genome analysis.

My guess? This is a genetics lab.

They were experimenting with mutation.

♪ Ooh-wee-ooh ♪

( alarms blares )

- Mikey! - Mikey!

Over there.

Whoa!

What the shell is that?

( gasping )

Looks like some kind of force field.

( grunts )

( grunting )

Oh, what now?

Something's telling me, "Do not touch."

Gee, you think?

Whoa!

Don, you okay?

( grunts )

Looks like this energy field only effects living tissue.

Too bad that's exactly what we're made out of!

Donnie, what do we do?

I'm thinking, I'm thinking!

Well, think faster or we're all gonna be a whole lot thinner!

( groaning )

The crystal, it's somehow powering all this.

Raph, your sai can go through the field.

Aim for the crystal.

( groaning )

( sighs )

Whoa, close one.

And that's the end of that.

It's only the beginning. Look at this.

( static )

Huh?

It's the sign of The Foot.

1, 2, 3, 4!

1, 2, 3, 4!

♪ Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles ♪

Every time we hit trouble,

that Foot symbol is stamped right on it.

What is it this time?

Let's find out.

These look like some kind of archived video logs.

I'll see if I can access them.

Day one, project commences.

Master Shredder believes his enemies

have taken refuge underground.

Our Foot soldiers have been unable to locate them,

so the genetic division has been directed

to mutate human subjects,

so that they can explore deeper into the Earth.

No!

( grunting )

No! Please!

The subject appears to be in some discomfort

but this is a minor annoyance.

( screaming )

That poor guy.

This is starting to get really weird.

Starting?

Day 345, the experiment appears to be a success!

Though the subjects are exhibiting

reduced intelligence.

Day 575,

the creatures are showing signs of instability...

( growling )

Becoming angry and vicious!

Certain aspects of the experiment have gone horribly wrong!

Have we attempted too much in developing

this unnatural life form?

Perhaps there are some things...

Man was never meant to tamper with.

That's the one line in a monster movie you don't want to hear!

Through the generous use of shock restraints,

the creatures have been trained to retrieve evidence

from their explorations.

Day 699, the project is a success!

Our creatures have found evidence of

habitation underground,

which has been turned over to Master Shredder.

I've been told he is quite pleased.

Day 733, the settlement we found

is not what Master Shredder was searching for.

He has pronounced the project... a failure.

We have been ordered to shut down the operation,

and destroy the creatures.

( screaming )

The creatures have freed themselves!

They are more intelligent than we ever dreamed!

Ahh!

( sirens blaring )

They-- they have been manipulating us

all along waiting for their moment to escape!

( growling )

No! Keep away!

( screams )

- ( snarling ) - ( gasps, screams )

So there's always one guy in the monster movie

who freaks out 'cause he can't take the pressure.

And I'm gonna do an impression of him right now

and it goes something like this...

"Get me out of here!"

Not that I'd ever agree with him...

but he's got a point!

Agreed. Fun's over. Let's go.

Huh?

( shouting )

( growling )

( hisses )

Guys...

This isn't the end of the movie, is it?
