Splinter: Sometimes you revisit the past.

Other times, the past revisits you.

( snickers )

Those moments can blur the boundary

between memories and reality.

( laughs )

And yet sometimes the past

is a mirror in which we can see

the reflection of what danger the future holds.

Donatello: Master Splinter,

when you said we were coming up here

for a little rest and recuperation,

I thought maybe you meant rest and recuperation.

Ah, Donatello, there is nothing more restful

for a ninja than rigorous training.

It brings focus, and--

[ video game beeping ]

Huh?

Gamedude! Speak to me, Gamedude!

Ow! Ow! Ow! Ow! Ow!

Now defend yourselves.

Uh, Sensei, we got zero visibility here.

( grunting )

Not bad, huh, Sensei?

Yes, not bad at all.

We are finished for today.

Whoa!

( grunts )

Master Splinter, you said we were finished!

A true ninja should never believe everything he hears.

Well done, Leonardo.

There goes Leo making us look bad again.

Yeah, well, Leo doesn't always get it right.

What was that, Raphael?

Uh, nothing, Sensei.

Come, let us sit and talk.

It's no big deal really.

But I was just thinking about the first time

we met The Shredder.

And how he almost had Leonardo here going over to the dark side.

Oh, here we go again.

You know, I still feel like an idiot

about that whole thing.

I don't blame you.

The Shredder almost had you believing

he was a good guy, remember?

The Shredder invited you to a little party.

And like a sucker, he went...alone.

Hello?

Hello?

Hyah!

( shouting )

( moaning )

( clapping )

Impressive, very impressive.

My agents said you were good.

But their description doesn't do you justice.

I am Oroku Saki, eighth generation master of ninjutsu.

And you are?

Leonardo.

I felt it was urgent that we meet.

There are things you need to know.

You have been caught in the middle of a battle

that is so much bigger than yourself.

But you must know there is a force,

a corrupt and evil force that is out there right now,

working its insidious tentacles into every aspect of our world.

Unfortunately, the only thing standing against

this evil force is me

and my humble army of ninjas.

We stand alone against them as my master did

and his master before him.

It has been my destiny to fight for the side of good.

I was hoping that you would find it

in your heart to join me and fight against this evil.

We could stand together.

( heavy breathing )

( deep voice) Join me, Leonardo.

I am your father.

I can't believe you bought The Shredder's

whole twisted story!

Neither can I.

Do not feel bad, my son.

You hoped his words were true.

It is the nature of a good heart to hope.

I'm just glad you guys opened my eyes.

Especially you, Sensei.

I should have seen through The Shredder's lies.

I should have seen it coming.

Yeah, well, I'm just glad that The Shredder

didn't see Master Splinter coming.

Remember that first time we went to face The Shredder?

( growls )

He kicked our shells all over the place!

( moans )

No!

( grunts )

Whoa!

Huh?

Huh?

( grunts )

Ow!

( shouts )

None of you will leave here alive!

Leonardo: I thought for sure The Shredder

was going to finish us all off.

Raphael: Yeah. Too bad he forgot about one thing.

A little 90-pound weapon of mass destruction

we like to call dear old Dad.

You destroyed my family once.

I will not allow that to happen again!

( roars )

This is for my Master Yoshi!

( gasps )

( shouts )

Ah!

Splinter: I thought I had avenged

my Master Yoshi.

But The Shredder was not finished.

Finished?

I wonder if he'll ever be finished.

He does have a habit of coming back.

Yeah. Remember April's place?

I wish I could forget it.

( shouts )

Leo?

Leo, what happened?

Who did this to you?

( growls )

I'm gonna find out who did this!

Leonardo: No...

Raph, wait.

He's back.

The Shredder.

Oh, crud.

It's really him! Like Leo said!

Well, you're the one who should be saying

farewell to, uh, to yourself.

Oh, yeah, Mikey, that got him.

Guys, I say we shred his butt once and for all!

( shouts )

( grunting )

Finish them off!

Whoa!

Everybody in here!

We can hold them off!

( grunting )

Like the Phoenix, I have risen from the ashes!

Hey, this door's getting hot!

It's jammed!

It won't open!

Gas plus flame equals...

Let's book now!

We gotta get outta here!

( explosion )

Leonardo: That was not a good day.

( sighs )

I really miss that old place.

Do you think he's gone for good? The Shredder?

I don't know.

I sure thought Leo finished him off that night

at the Foot headquarters.

( shouting )

But it wasn't the end to him.

Remember what happened the night our pals, the Utrom,

were finally gonna beam themselves back home?

Donatello, if you would do me the honor

of powering up the transmat?

Sweet!

The Shredder came back at the TCRI Building.

Badder than ever.

As long as I live,

you will not leave this place alive!

Seems like he's always trying to make sure

we never leave anywhere alive.

Do not touch it!

It's an Utrom implosion device!

The techno organic virus it contains will destroy you!

Already it has thoroughly infected the system.

The entire building will implode in less than 10 minutes!

Michelangelo: Bomb, shmomb!

You guys are forgetting the freakiest part of that whole deal.

The Shredder's true identity!

You pathetic creatures have interfered

with my plans one time too many!

For that, you shall pay with your lives!

Shredder, there is no time!

The building is about to implode!

Even you could not survive!

Then we shall all perish together!

( shouts )

Huh?

( grunting )

Agh!

Guys, use your weapons to penetrate his armor!

I think we can stop him for good!

( shouting )

You pathetic creatures cannot hurt me!

Don't be so sure!

( screams )

( screams )

Man, when we found out The Shredder was an Utrom,

I nearly soiled my shell.

Nasty little bug.

Get it off!

Hyah!

Guys, quick!

( explosion )

Michelangelo: How come every place we go,

things get blown up?

Raphael: Just lucky, I guess.

Lucky? Yeah.

But that last time wasn't so lucky for The Shredder.

There's no way he could have survived that, right?

I don't know, April.

The Shredder may play rough. He may play dirty.

But he don't play dead.

Yeah, but he sure leaves a path of destruction wherever he goes.

I can't help but think of Master Yoshi.

Not only was he Master Splinter's sensei.

He was also a Guardian sworn to protect valuable secrets about the Utrom.

Secrets that Shredder and his forces would stop at nothing to learn.

( grunts )

Raphael: He didn't go down without a fight, though.

Michelangelo: Yeah. From what Master Splinter says,

Master Yoshi was one tough dude.

Donatello: I wish we could have met him.

Leonardo: You have to admire Master Yoshi's courage.

He was defiant to the last.

Raphael: Yeah, he really threw in The Shredder's face.

He who lives without honor will end without honor.

Even though it cost him his life.

When I think of my Master Yoshi, my heart aches.

But I know that Master Yoshi kept his honor to the end.

A true warrior and a true Guardian.

( shouts )

The Shredder and Hun!

And the Purple Dragons!

Bunch a heartless goons!

Why, I just wanna-- gah!

I think what Mr. Jones here is trying to say

is we're sorry for your loss, Master Splinter.

Thank you.

We have all suffered at the hands of The Shredder.

You guys wanna know the funny part?

There's a funny part?

Well, not ha-ha funny. But kind of ironic.

I was thinking that The Shredder

had a bigger hand in our lives than we know.

Without The Shredder, we'd all still be pet turtles

in a glass jar right now.

What you talkin' about, Willis?

Well, allow me to explain.

As you all might recall, we got mutated

by that strange ooze when we were only babies.

Splinter: I remember it as if it were yesterday.

You were all so cute.

Donatello: The ooze that mutated us came from

the TCRI Building, right?

And why did the TCRI Building even exist?

Because the Utroms were trying to build

their transmat so they could go home.

And why did the Utroms need to go home?

Michelangelo: Because they were late for dinner?

Donatello: No. Because an evil prisoner they were transporting

across the galaxy sabotaged their starship.

( shouting )

Goodbye, Captain.

Causing them to crash land on earth centuries ago.

And they've been trapped here ever since.

( panting )

( shouts )

And who was this evil prisoner who caused

the Utroms so much trouble?

( screams )

He was in fact-- drum roll, please?

The Shredder!

Ahem.

Ergo, The Shredder had a direct hand in our creation.

See what I mean?

I think I speak for everyone when I say, "No."

Ladies and Mutants!

How not to tell our origin story!

No, listen.

If The Shredder hadn't made the Utroms crash

in the first place,

then they never would have developed the ooze.

And if they never developed the ooze,

we'd never have been mutated.

And if we'd never been mutated,

we'd be eating fish flakes in some kid's aquarium right now!

Whoa, that's really deep.

Ugh!

Being that closely related to The Shredder

makes me feel kind of dirty.

Hmm. The Shredder may be a part of our origin,

but it is we that choose our fate.

And even if The Shredder's still out there,

no matter what he throws at us,

no matter how he messes with our lives,

nothing he does will change the most important thing.

That we are family.

( laughs )

Leo, that was off the charts in the sap-o-meter.

You've been watching way too many after-school specials, bro.

Just eat your s'mores and keep quiet, Mikey.

Leo's got a point.

( growls )

( laughs )

You are so dead, laughing boy!

Watch the graham crackers!

( grunting )

I oughta--

- Cut it out! - Yahoo!

Pile-on!

( shouting, grunting )

Well, it's definitely a family.

But do you think we'll ever be able

to teach the kids some manners?

Miss O'Neil, teaching them the ancient art of ninjutsu

is hard enough.

I am afraid even I cannot work miracles.
