Original subtitles

After long, tortured years

in forced slumber, I've awoken to find this world wanting

this boisterous, filthy,

and worst of all, a breeding ground for weakness.

The pathetic ruler of this place, the mayor, lives here.

A silly little public throttle, he knows nothing of true power.

But it is my pleasure to educate him.

[foreboding music]

Ah!

[gasping]

[crumbling]

Ah!

New York, as the natives call it,

is better suited to fall into the ocean,

than to hold the throne of the emperor.

[gasps]

[evil laughter]

[demon grunts] [the mayor] Ah, help!

However,

it does hold a unique appeal.

There is great power here, power which I shall use

to remake this world in my own image!

I shall change all of it.

The Shredder Dynasty begins anew

today.

Father-- no!

The Shredder is-- I--

Where am I?

You! Am I your prisoner?

No, more like my patient.

We weren't too sure if you were gonna make it.

You saved me? [groans]

But, why?

If it were up to me, I might not have,

but four guys I care for very, very much seem to think

there's something about you that's worth saving.

But if you try anything, I'll slam you so fast it'll curl your hair, sister.

[both gasp]

[struggling]

Yo, April, I found this bozo sneakin' around back trying to break in.

Oh, mistress, you're all right.

We have to get out of here, out of this city,

maybe even off the planet. The resurrected Shredder has made his move,

and there doesn't seem to be any way of stopping him.

Things are about to get very bad here.

[ominous music]

My sons, terrible nightmares have plagued me for some time now.

Oh, is it the one where you have a killer math test,

and you show up late, and you're not wearing your shell?

Ow!

Better to be silent and be but a fool,

than open your mouth and be you.

In the dream it is always night.

The coldest night I have ever felt.

The Shredder rides a demon horse through a twisted woods somewhere in ancient Japan.

We are his prey.

In the face of his might, we can only run.

[gasping]

[evil laughter]

I am helpless to stop him

as he slays each one of you, my sons.

As he comes for me,

my master Yoshi appears.

Master Yoshi?

But before he can act, the Shredder attacks.

I had hoped the dreams would stop,

but instead, they are getting worse.

The dream is in Japan, right?

Well this is New York City, so it's all good, right?

Right?

Help April, everything okay?

No, Leo, it's not. Better get over here right away.

What the shell is that?

It is the end of life as we know it.

The Shredder's dark magic is enveloping the city.

Quickly, we must get to April's.

Hit it, Donnie.

Anyone wanna tell me what's happening?

[Ancient One] The Ninja Tribunal always said

that the evil Shredder long ago transformed this world

[gasping]

into a reflection of his own dark soul.

A world full of demons and the undead,

a world of chaos and pain.

So you see, the Shredder has begun the dreaded transformation of the city.

And it's a safe bet he won't stop until he's changed the entire planet.

Not without additional energy.

The Ancient One and I have meditated on this.

We have felt massive fluctuations in the city's lay lines.

Lay lines?

Yes, you see,

lay lines are hidden conduits of mystic energy

that run throughout the planet. They are the essence of the earth's very spirit.

An uncommon number of those lines converge in New York.

Here, here, and here.

The keystones. Chaplin, tell them what we've discovered.

When the mystic ninja's escaped Karai's control,

we did a lot of research into their magic and they'd been up to on the sly.

We learned that for decades the Shredder's mystics blackmailed city officials

into installing three keystones around the city.

One in the Statue of Liberty, one in the United Nations building,

and one at Manny's meats in Northern Manhattan. Great chops.

These keystones are magic amplifiers of solid elemental ectoplasm.

But now seeing that the keystones are set on junctions of lay lines,

whoever controlled them would have control over the mystic energies

of the whole planet.

In our training with the ninja tribunal,

we learned that energy is neither good, nor evil.

If the Shredder could make use of the keystones, then couldn't we?

Hmm. If we were to access the keystones before the Shredder,

and focus our energy into them, perhaps we can reverse the spell

and cripple Shredder in the process.

Whatever we're doin', we better start doin' it.

And fast.

All right, we've three procurement teams, one for each keystone.

Now let's sound off to make sure we're all online.

Check-- Mikey and I are on the way.

Donnie here with Splinter. Wish we could give you more data on

what these keystones look like,

but we just don't have any.

However, we do know this, when we find them,

we've got to blast them with everything we've got at the same time.

Roger that Donatello.

Chaplin and I are online and ready to coordinate the timing from here.

[grunts]

We're in the U.N. April, we'll let you know when we locate the keystone.

We're almost at the Statue of Liberty, April.

We'll call in once we've found the keystone.

I am still unsure as to why I am here.

First and foremost, so I can keep an eye on you.

After what you've done to me and my family,

I'm not exactly in a trusting mood.

Secondly, I've had a dream about you.

It made me think that Master Splinter was right

when he says that all Shredders are connected on some level of energy.

I don't pretend to understand it, Karai,

but if you can help us fight the demon Shredder,

then you're going to help us. We're going to need every advantage we can get.

Do you sense it as well, brothers?

The reptiles, the old one, and the rat

and that wretched Karai

all approach the keystones. Shall we tell the master?

And suffer his wrath from disturbing him?

Yes we must deal with it ourselves.

Then let us awaken the wardens.

Okay, we're uptown, we're almost at Manny's Meats.

Yo, April, we're comin' up on the third keystone.

Or, at least we're supposed to be.

[sniffs and grimaces]

I've heard of black magic, but this is "blech!" magic.

Whoa, what a stench.

More like Manny's Moldy Meats.

I think I'm gonna go vegetarian.

Well the Ancient One said when we got close enough, we'd feel it.

Huh?

Yeah, and I think it's feeling us too. This was a piece of cake.

This was gonna be so easy.

You and your big mouth!

Well, here we are. Gotta find that keystone.

There's nothing here.

At least nothing out of the ordinary.

[gasps]

[Ancient One] I think you spoke too soon, Leonardo.

And I think we're about to have company as well.

[gasps]

[all gasp]

That keystone should be around here someplace.

Whoa. I'm guessing this is it.

Now to harness it's energy.

Hurry, I sense--

Donatello, move!

[gasps]

[gasps]

Um, sensei, any advice?

Yes my son, hit it.

Very, very hard.

How are we doing on time, Chaplin?

If my calculations are correct,

we have one minute and 42.5 seconds until

the Shredder's dark energy reaches the keystones.

That's not long.

Guys, guys-- we've only got a minute and a half to do this. Is everyone in place?

Yeah, in place and about to be slammed by a wind warden!

[effort]

[groans]

Yuck!

Well, guess the good news is I'm back to where the keystone is.

Outta the way!

Of course, the bad news is we're gonna get crushed

if we stand still long enough to start the magic energy thingy.

That's nice-- move!

The furnace! We have to get past and extinguish it's inner fire.

Finishing mood time, if I could just get a two second breather.

I will distract the beast. Donatello, get ready.

[grunting]

[ding]

Yes, that is right. Over here.

Donatello, now!

Unleash the cleaving wind!

[suspenseful music]

Now, Mikey, give 'em your finishing move!

Go, go!

Give 'em shell!

I am so glad we have a truce.

A temporary truce.

[shouts]

[gasping]

Guys, hurry.

The Shredder's dark energy is going to reach you in 16 seconds.

When I say go, focus everything you have into the keystone.

[magical ringing]

Go, go, now!

Don, it's almost at the U.N.

It's now, or never. You've got to do exactly what Leo did.

[grunting]

Mikey, Raph, you're up.

[efforts]

[commotion]

[hissing]

You did it! It's working.

Way to go, everyone.

Ah!

What have you done? Somebody's blocking my power.

What is happening?

We did not wish to disturb you.

The turtles, they found the keystones, and--

They discovered the keystones and you chose not to tell me?

Ah!

[blasting]

[screaming]

I shall punish you later,

but first, my power's being threatened-- this will not stand.

Ah!

[grunting]

[screams]

[groans]

Master Splinter, what just happened?

We have lost this battle.

Come, let us regroup.

We must find another way to fight the Shredder.

Fools, to think that they could actually stand against me.

Do they not realize who I am?

This city is mine. And soon, the world.
