Leo: The roar of the crowds.

The smell of the greasepaint.

The death-defying thrill of the high wire.

Trust me, this is no circus.

And if you think it's tough

for a turtle to walk a tightrope, try four.

If we fall, we're pavement paint.

But if we make it,

we just may finally find our missing Master Splinter.

We also might learn the answer

to a secret that's plagued us our entire lives.

How and why we became teenage mutant ninja turtles.

Okay, we've searched Shredder's building

and every other place the Foot had been encountered.

We've scoured every sewer tunnel,

back street and dark alley in the city

with only one area left.

The worst part is we don't even know

if Master Splinter is still--

I don't even want to think about that!

Until we learn otherwise, he's alive

and awaiting our rescue.

( Raphael grunting )

I'm done coming home empty-handed!

We find Splinter tonight!

( cell phone rings )

Please tell me someone found something.

Nada from the sewers.

Nothing on the roofs either.

Or the junkyard.

Lots of rats, but none of them ours.

Man, where is he?

Keep it cool, Raph.

We'll find him.

Hey! What?

Help! That's my car!

Buddy, have you picked the wrong night!

( tires screeching )

Oh, great.

It would have to be garbage day!

( chuckles )

( coughs )

You feel like taking what don't belong to you, punk? Huh?

Beat it.

Raphael, this doesn't help anything.

It helps more than you think!

Gotta admit, the dude knows how to blow off steam.

Maybe, but if we're gonna find Master Splinter,

we have to keep a lid on it.

Well, prowling around ain't cutting it anymore, Leo.

We need something to go on.

What about The Guardians?

If you think about it,

right after Splinter disappeared, they disappeared.

Yeah. Hey, they could have taken him easy.

Somehow we need to hook up with one of those guys.

Raph, looks like we might have something to go on.

Sorry. After your patch job on this rig,

even my grandma's tractor handles better.

( sirens )

Come on, guys.

Cops are combing the neighborhood.

Maybe I should drive.

Nah, I think I'm getting the hang of it.

Huh?

Guardian, what is so urgent?

The symbol upon The Shredder's building has been reactivated.

Yet you have reported The Shredder destroyed.

He has deceived us before.

Investigate.

Huh?

No!

The Shredder alive!

Huh?

What?

Whoa! Wait, wait, wait!

Easy. We're not here to fight.

If you lay a trap for me, then be prepared to fight.

Our bad. Now do you suppose you can maybe...

We're looking for answers, that's all.

Look elsewhere.

Cool. Elsewhere it is.

Now how's about putting that sword elsewhere?

Our Master's missing. We intend to find him.

I cannot help you.

You once called yourself our ally.

If you are, then at least tell us if he's okay.

I cannot say.

Mikey?

One turtle tracker duly planted.

He's still on foot passing 4th and D.

Come on!

Man, this guy's fast!

He's already made it to 12th.

This way.

He's not here.

It appears his signal disappeared right across the street.

It's just an office building.

So was Shredder's, and that place nearly took us out.

But why would he go in there?

To have his taxes done?

Let's find out for sure.

( tapping )

Now let's see what's behind door number one.

Oh, I'm getting carsick.

Uh, guys, here's a new wrinkle.

I don't get it.

Techno Cosmic Research Institute?

- So? - Yeah?

Huh?

Say the first letter in each word.

What? TCRI?

Sorry. It's not ringing any... bells.

TCRI? That's the... the...

The... the...

The what? Tell me.

TCRI was printed on the canister of ooze

that mutated us into what we are.

The secret to our origin

could very well lie within the walls of that building!

Okay, let's snoop around.

You guys are sucking the oxygen

right out of my personal space here.

- Sorry. - Sorry.

- Sorry. - Sorry.

Jackpot! The security control room.

The brains to their security system.

Can you look under that door

to see what we're up against?

I think so.

Uh-oh.

Well, now what?

Master Splinter might be in there.

Answers we've been looking for our whole lives

might be in there,

so that means we're going in there.

Now what exactly have we found out about TCRI?

April?

Okay. TCRI is a highly successful new technologies company

that's been around for the past 25 years

and whose head corporate liaison is a Mr. Mortu.

These are the blueprints

submitted to the City Planner's office

when the building was constructed.

Looks as boring on the inside as it does on the out.

Here's some of what our cam shell recorded

before it became road kill.

Surveillance cameras cover the perimeter and the roof,

all laced with alarm sensors.

So what we need is someone smart, capable,

and techno savvy enough to get in,

find the alarm cutoff, and cut if off.

- Me! - No. April.

Me?

You'll sneak in past the guard,

enter the security control room,

and deactivate the cameras and alarms.

Okay.

Here's a schematic of some basic security panels

you're likely to find inside.

Once the alarms are off,

you'll contact us on the shell cell

and we'll gain access through the roof ventilation system.

Makes total sense.

After we're in, you'll reset the alarm and surveillance cameras,

then sneak back outside unnoticed.

It all rests on your shoulders, girl.

No pressure.

Uh-huh. That's all good.

There's just a teeny tiny detail of that plan missing.

There's a guard sitting right there.

We'll be employing an old ninja trick.

The art of distraction.

Somebody call for a distraction?

Oh, my life is in the hands of a lunatic.

Aah!

Whoa! Somebody wanna help me out here?

You can definitely do it, April.

May I help you?

Yes. I'm Dr. Van der Pepper of TMNT University.

I'm here to see Mr. Mortu.

Mr. Mortu doesn't take appointments.

Listen, I've come a long way for this meeting

at his request,

so either get him on the phone or I'm gone!

Dr. Van der Pepper?

I want to see the boss man right now!

Remember, Casey, just distract him long enough

for April to slip in and slip out.

Yeah, don't screw this up, bonehead.

Okay, if anyone's gonna screw this up,

it'll be you, freak face!

Moron.

Yes?

I got a complaint about one of your products.

TCRI doesn't manufacture toasters, sir.

Oh, yeah? Says it right here!

That says RITC in crayon, sir.

Now I wanna see the head geek

or I'm gonna take this place apart!

Give me a toaster or give me death!

Whoa.

Impressive.

Okay, I'm looking for the splitter

from the main junction box,

which should look like...

absolutely nothing here.

Guys, this isn't going to work!

What's the problem, April?

I don't recognize the technology.

Nothing makes sense in here.

I can't turn off the roof alarms or the cameras.

Uh, anybody got a Plan B?

1, 2, 3, 4!

April, we'll handle the camera.

Just get the alarm turned off any way you can.

Whatever. Don't come whining to me

if we all get captured and tortured and stuff.

Hmm.

A floor plan would be nice.

Cool!

Now how do I turn off the roof sensors?

Roof sensors off.

Guys, you're good to go.

( laughs )

Hey!

What?

Hurry with that picture.

Got it.

I don't know what bothers me more,

that this thing actually works,

or that Don carries around a pigeon puppet.

Hey, it's a fake.

It doesn't go nowhere.

What kind of people would put a fake vent on the roof?

The kind who want this place to look normal.

So now what?

We cut through a window.

Diamond edged blades,

and they're not even scratching the surface.

This is no ordinary window glass.

We better think of something,

'cause who knows how long

that bat-happy idiot in the lobby can keep it up.

What kind of customer service is this, huh?

I simply refuse to be treated this way!

Attica! Attica!

Whoa!

Uh, fellas, I got a news flash for you.

Things are not what they seem in here.

Just keep 'em busy, Casey.

How tough can a couple of guards be?

I think I'm about to find out.

April, the roof and the windows are a no-go!

You want another way in? No problem.

This thing's a piece of cake.

Okay, find me an entrance point.

Exhaust cover currently active.

Here we go.

There's some kind of exhaust opening on the west side.

Ninth floor.

We'll check it out. Thanks.

There's nothing here.

Hold on. You hear that?

Air's coming out.

You can feel it, too. Amazing.

Maybe it's some kind of hologram.

Yeah, finally! A way in!

- Mikey, wait! - Wait!

Whoa!

Huh.

Aah!

Mikey!
