April: I love nature--

its beauty, its balance and perfection.

Nature reminds me of what I learned in school

about the scientist Charles Darwin.

Darwin believed in the survival of the fittest.

He explained how life on earth can be defined

simply as the struggle for existence.

( screeching )

But it seems to me

that the struggle for existence is never very simple.

Casey: Well, what are we still hanging around here for?

The sun's about to set.

Let's raft down the river like we said we was gonna

and get this camping trip in gear.

So, Leo, what do you say? What's going down, bro?

Down? The river, I suppose.

Uh, yeah, right. Okay, Leo.

Michelangelo: Attention, ladies and gentlemen

and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles!

This is the first and final boarding call for the USS Turtlympic.

The most happening party cruise raft

this side of, uh, Casey's grandma's farmhouse!

Tickets, please! Tickets!

Oh, I got your ticket right here! ( laughs )

Whoa!

( all laughing )

April: The river is so perfect.

Flowing just as it has for tens of thousands of years.

Ancient, mysterious, alive.

Gee, April, you make it sound almost spooky.

-( barn owl cries ) - What-what's that?

( laughs )

It's just a barn owl. Nothing to be scared of.

Sometimes-- Sometimes Casey can be so cool.

Like now, focused and grown up.

Mature even.

( belches )

You were saying?

( moaning )

Oh, my gosh!

I didn't know that we lived so close to one of these.

Casey: I saw in the local news they're closing this place down.

April: Finally, someone's come to their senses.

Leonardo: Ah, yes, nuclear power plants.

Once heralded as the future of energy.

But they've become the Purple Dragons of energy production.

Hard to clean up after

and even harder to get rid of.

But it looks like those cooling towers have already been rigged for demolition.

So this is one nuclear plant no one has to worry about anymore.

Any questions, class?

Hey, Leo? Help me out up here, bro. Up ahead on the left.

Is that the turn to Oxbow Lake that Master Splinter told us about?

Hmm? Yeah.

That should be the way to Norwa Takagi.

Norwhata whatie?

Norwa Takagi.

That's what the Indians that used to live here called the lake.

It means "Lake of the Lost Tribe."

( laughter )

Got you!

Casey: Oh, yeah? Well, I got one for you.

How come Utroms are always lonely?

- Raphael: Beats me. - 'Cause they ain't got no body.

Get it? No body? ( laughter )

Hey, I got one, Case.

How do you measure an Utrom?

Hmm.

- In inches. - Huh?

In inches. They don't have feet.

( laughter )

Are you okay, Leo?

I know something's been bothering you.

Yeah, I don't know.

Well, I guess I do.

I just can't stop thinking about the last time we faced off against the Shredder.

That the only way that we could have defeated him was by blowing ourselves up.

I couldn't protect my brothers, my master.

I feel like such a complete failure!

And no matter how I try to rationalize it, justify it,

it always come down to the fact that I wasn't good enough!

April, look!

April: Um, guys?

Guys?

We have company.

And she's hurt.

Mikey, quick! In my backpack!

Get me the first aid kit and my Tech Tab.

Sir! Yes, sir!

Somebody help me turn her over.

So, what is she, some kind of fish?

She doesn't have gills.

And she's stopped breathing.

And her heart-- I can't find a pulse.

According to my Tech Tab, these markings, they're burns.

Radiation burns.

She's been exposed to a massive dose of radiation.

Casey, help me out here.

I'll see that her throat is clear and begin the mouth-to-mouth.

Donatello: Guys, I hate to be the bearer of bad news,

but there are more fish people, and they are not looking happy!

( snarling )

We must look like we're hurting here.

Keep them away. We need more time!

Donatello: Leo!

What the...?

April, they're walking fish sticks!

They've got the guys!

It's no good, April. The fish lady's not responding.

And what about the guys? Those fish dudes dragged 'em under the water.

And they ain't coming up! What should we do?

( mutters )

April! Snap out of it!

We-we are the last five.

The last of a once proud race.

We began as slaves in the lost city of Y'Lyntius.

But we would suffer at the hands of the cruel Y'Lyntians

for only so long.

There was revolt, revolution.

I was but a child then.

It was all confusion, chaos.

I remember Y'Lyntius sinking beneath the waves

and my mother telling me that we were finally, finally free.

Our tribe swam the seven seas

searching far and wide for a place to call our own.

The currents led us to a new unspoiled land

where we could live in peace,

where we could spawn and raise our young,

Where we would be no one's slave ever again.

We had found our true home.

But we are a long-lived people.

And time moves ever onward.

Soon the fresh unspoiled land the seas had led us to

was not so fresh anymore, not so unspoiled.

Faster than we could ever really believe,

there was nowhere left for us to go.

We moved closer to the river,

but it did no good.

My people began to get sick.

The responsibility fell to me to tend the few remaining eggs.

Our last generation, our last hope.

They cling to life but just barely.

I do all that I can, but I fear it is not enough.

I am only one.

And I am so tired,

so tired,

so tired.

Casey: April? April?

April, come on! April!

April, snap out of it! We gotta do something here!

( screeching )

April?

( gasps )

The responsibility--

The responsibility fell to me

to tend to the few remaining eggs.

Our last generation, our last hope.

They cling to life...

but just barely.

I do all that I can.

But I fear it is not enough,

not enough, not enough.

Fading. We're fading away.

Hey! You okay? What happened? You went all freaky on me!

My mind's spinning. She showed me so much. It's too much to take in.

( snarls )

( gasping )

( sighs )

Wait! Wait! Her burns!

Radioactive burns from the nuclear power plant!

The eggs, Casey.

She was trying to save her eggs!

Uh, what eggs, April?

Her eggs, her babies.

The nuclear power plant.

It's leaking radioactive fuel

right near where the Merwoman laid her last eggs!

Don't ask me how I know, but I know.

And we've got to try and save them!

I don't know, guys.

We've been to some pretty nasty places being Ninja Turtles and all,

but this place really gives me the creeps.

What do you think, April? Is this it?

I can't tell. Some of this area looks familiar from the vision. But it's hard to be sure.

According to my readings,

the workers have safely contained and cleaned up the area inside

and immediately around the nuclear reactor.

Let me guess. This is one of them good news, bad news scenarios, right?

Donatello: Unfortunately, yes.

It looks like they've neglected to clean up anything else beyond the plant itself.

Especially over this way.

This creek's water is completely contaminated.

The nuclear rod cooling pool is leaking into the creek.

And worse--

I hate it when there's a worse.

That dike over there? It's about to burst.

( gasps )

That's it! The river!

That's where the Merwoman's eggs are buried!

I'm sure of it. This is what she wanted me to see.

This is what she showed me in the vision.

We have to do something to save those eggs.

If the eggs hatch and the babies swim through that leaking radiation,

they'll all perish!

- Then what are we waiting for? - We need a plan.

But with all this radiation around, we need a safe plan. What do you think, Donatello?

When they take down cooling towers,

they're always rigged to blow up and implode inwards.

We might be able to re-rig one of these so it falls outwards

and creates a new barrier, one that will block the leaking dike.

Yo! What about the radiation?

The cooling towers themselves aren't radioactive.

We won't need bio-suits or anything.

Then the first thing we have to do is sneak in there.

Right! And like the Three Musketeers used to say,

"One for all and all for Ninja Mode!"

Of course, I'm paraphrasing.

- ( slaps ) - Ow!

- Raph: What is wrong with you? - What?

- Boo. - ( squeals )

Okay, April. I'm just about there.

Another 30 seconds, and I'll be in position.

Roger that. I'll signal the others.

( shell phone rings )

Mikey's party line. Who's your daddy?

Donnie's in position.

Can you say diversion?

- ( alarm blaring ) -All: Huh?

- Check the perimeter! - We have a security breach!

- Everybody fan out! - Who set off the alarm?

Hmm.

A little creative rewiring...

and we should have ourselves a new dam in about 60 seconds.

Wha...?

Whoa! You! What the heck are you?

Um, just a little guy in a Greenpeace costume?

Greenpeace, huh?

( grunting )

Listen, big guy! We don't have time for this!

Please accept my apology!

Apology? For what?

For this.

Donatello? Donatello, can you hear me?

He's still not answering.

( grunting )

Why did you have to be so big?

Come on. Let's go! Fireman's carry!

Fire in the hole!

Oh, no! No! No!

- April: Come on, guys! - Casey: Let's get outta here!

This is not a good way to start the day.

Environmental do-gooders, sir. We gotta go after them

and make them pay for this!

( rapid beeping )

Are you kidding? Whoever did this did us a favor.

This whole area's contaminated.

We have to get a crew in here right away and clean this up.

Why wasn't this area checked?

Whoever dropped that tower

may have saved a lot of lives.

A whole lot of lives!

Donatello: So, do you think we did any good back there, April?

I mean, did we really save the last of the Merpeople of Y'Lyntius?

Well, Donnie, I don't know.

I guess we'll never know.
