Original subtitles

My brothers don't understand me at all.

Rod's the closest thing I have to a friend, you know,

when he's not trying to steal our blood.

Everyone wanted me to cut him loose.

But then Rod's dad told us that Rod's been kidnapped!

So I went full detective and questioned

my one and only suspect, Rod's old boss, Bishop.

And once her Mechazoids stopped trying to murder me,

Bishop told me Rod had a brother and sister

who might have kidnapped him too! Why?

Because it turns out Rod finally got his hands

on some mutant blood.

Dang, that's bad.

* tense music playing *

[groaning]

[grunting]

Come on! At least give me some moisturizer, you savages!

I have sensitive cheeks!

Ow! That's too tight!

I have poor circulation!

Ow!

Do you even know who my dad is?!

He'll give you anything you want.

I'm like his favorite!

I-I'm in his top three!

Wait, no! Don't leave me alone in here!

What if I choke on my own spit, who's gonna Heimlich me?

Hey, come on!

Guys?!

Anyone?

[loud thud]

[deep sigh]

This is still better than the last time I was kidnapped.

-One, two, three, four! -[drumsticks clicking]

* upbeat rock theme music playing *

[roaring]

[oinking]

[clanging]

-[roars] -[squeaks]

[growls]

[hisses]

[roaring]

* music ends abruptly *

* tense music plays *

I can't believe Rod finally got his hands on mutant blood.

I'm actually kind of proud of him.

What-what is your deal, bro?

This is bad, Mikey. Like, end-of-the-world bad.

Then it's a good thing we're on the case!

Thanks to my incredible sleuthing abilities,

we now know that Bishop didn't kidnap him.

So, bam! Cross her off the list.

Wait, uh, did she really have a hundred-foot-tall Mechazoid?

Because it kinda feels like we should go deal with that.

It wasn't finished, so... that's a problem for future us.

But Bishop did mention Rod's brother and sister,

Todd and Maude.

Really?

Todd, Maude, and Rod? Yikes.

Yeah, good thing Dad didn't name us anything weird.

[loud thud]

* groovy music plays *

-According to my sources-- -The internet.

My highly trusted, confidential sources,

Todd is a fitness guru slash life coach

and Maude is the CEO of something called

the Null Group?

Yeah, I mean, those both sound evil.

So what, are we just gonna go pound these guys?

No. We need to wait until night,

then cloak ourselves in darkness like true ninja,

using the shadows as a weapon...

Or... we can go with my idea.

This is gonna be some improv thing, isn't it?

Oh, boy, microscopes!

I know those because I am a science nerd.

[announcer] Creating a better world.

Science.

Better people.

-Intelligence. -[liquid bubbling]

-[cat meows] -A better life.

[dolphins chitter]

Maude...

The Null Group.

Because, science. Creating...

So, when do we get to meet Maude?

[sighs] Dr. Underwood is right this way.

Whoa, Rod's sister is a doctor?

That's amazing. What kind?

She has a PhD in her father being rich.

[operatic music playing]

So...

Murong tells me you were interested

in interning for the Null Group.

That will be all, Murong.

[deep sigh]

I've heard of you.

My brother's friends. The mutations.

I didn't realize you were so enthusiastic

about my work here.

-Whoa! -[chuckles]

Oh, it's all me.

I love science. Am I right, guys?

Yeah, Mikey loves science.

Tell her some science stuff, Mikey.

Uh, you know. Science!

In a general, non-specific sort of way.

Especially what you do here at the Null Group.

What... do you do here?

As you obviously know,

the Null Group is the world's premier research facility,

creating... um, things. [sighs]

Medicine, I think.

Science stuff that will save lives

and forever change the world!

That sounds good.

For the people who can afford it.

Oh, that's less good.

Whoa, what are you doing? You shouldn't drink that--

Ahh. My morning coffee.

My father funds my operation here,

where we've made many incredible advances

in many, many, um...

Well, in my private lab, for instance,

I've personally brewed what I believe to be

-the perfect cup of coffee. -Yo, can I get a cup of that?

I mean, because this is seriously putting me to sleep.

G-grazie!

Dude, maybe you shouldn't drink that!

Ugh. Yikes.

So, you don't even know what you do here?

Yeah, that tracks.

Ignore him!

Brothers, am I right? They're the worst.

The worst! I've got some useless brothers myself.

Todd is a moron, but at least he has his fitness thing.

And Rod... [scoffs]

He's just a total waste of space.

It's no wonder I'm my father's favorite.

I'm actually glad you Turtles came.

My scientists suggested we meet.

They say your genetics could unlock

any number of advances in their research--

I mean, my research! [chuckles]

We just need one little thing from you.

Oh, really? What?

-Our blood, Mikey. -Dude, I-I'm...

-so jazzed up right now. -She wants our blood.

* ominous music playing *

Oh, what?

-[glass shatters] -Finally! Let's go! Ah!

[gas mask hissing]

We need to get out of here!

-Raph, wait! -Argh!

[grunts, gasps]

Nice try.

I don't even feel it... Ugh.

-[snoring] -Raph! It's knockout gas!

Everyone, hold your breath!

[deep inhale]

Mm-mm-mmm!

[muffled grunts]

[grunting]

[groans]

[wheezes, groans]

[muffled grunt]

[strains]

Mm? [grunts]

[grunting]

[muffled yelp]

[muffled whimper]

[ventilator hissing]

[excited yelp]

-[gas mask hissing] -[breathing deeply]

Donnie! [grunts]

-[grunts] -[thud]

-[air whooshes] -[pants]

Oh, man! Okay!

[yelps, groans]

[both grunt]

[clattering]

[groans] There's no way we could have seen this coming!

[muffled grumbling]

[breathes heavily]

Did we win?

[deep breath]

Guess not.

[announcer] Creating a better world.

-[punches landing] -[screaming]

-[grunts] -[screams] My leg!

[muffled growling]

-Ahh! -Guys! Through here!

[panting]

[thudding]

[panting]

[pounding on door]

-[objects clattering] -You!

Are you seriously trying to kidnap us too?

You're being very selfish!

I just wanted your blood!

Or your internal organs, they said that would work too.

Oh, sure. Yeah. No problem.

Don't need those at all.

You're supposed to be a "scientist"?

Admit it! You kidnapped Rod!

Rod? Why would someone wanna kidnap him?

If anyone should be kidnapped, it'd be me.

I deserve to be kidnapped! I'm Father's favorite!

Did you even taste my coffee?

Hey, that's pretty good stuff, seriously.

Well, it wasn't good enough for him!

It wasn't enough!

I need your blood!

Ahh! Ugh... [snores]

Yeah, we can probably go now.

If she had Rod's mutant blood, she wouldn't need us.

I think we can cross her off the list.

Yeah. Like, every list.

Now we should check out Todd!

Seriously, dude.

You're like really not reading the room here.

Mikey, the Underwoods are dangerous.

Alright? We need to think this through.

This is the most I've ever thought in my life!

I know you guys don't like Rod,

but his brother's some workout bro.

How much trouble could he really be?

[groaning]

-Ugh... -[thud]

Whoa, you guys have darts in you.

[woozy chuckle]

You do too, Mikey.

[laughs]

[laughs]

That's so weird.

Oh, man. We should probably...

you know, be worried about this or something.

Yeah... [laughs]

I'm gonna... sit down.

[groggily] You're funny.

You're...

[thud]

[Rod] This is torture! You're starving me!

I haven't eaten in days!

You have to feed me, bros!

Haven't you ever even done this before?

I'm wasting away down here!

* tense music playing *

Dude, that looks really dry.

You ain't got any sriracha or something, do you?

Mrph! It's so flavorless!

It's torture!

W-wait, I wasn't done.

Also, I need to touch my food.

It's part of the tactile sensation.

That's why fried chicken is so delicious.

It's the touch. It's like...

It engages all the senses.

Come on, man, just untie me a little.

[grunts]

[laughs]

* heavenly music plays *

Oof! Ah!

[chains clink]

[Rod] Hey!

Can I get another sandwich?

This one touched the floor, man!

[deep sigh]

[gasps]

Oh, yeah.

* glimmering music playing *

Fugghedaboutit.

I'll eat any kind of burger

'cause I'm cheesy-going!

[audience laughing]

[man] Whoo-hoo-hoo! Yeah, Mikey!

[audience cheering, laughing]

* music swelling *

Yeah!

-I told you that bit killed! -[squeaking]

* music darkens *

-Ahh! -[electricity buzzes]

-[yawns, snores] -Not great.

Aren't you supposed to be the funny one?

[gasps]

Ahh! [muffled grunting]

[growling]

[yelling]

Ahh! D-don't drink me!

Whoa, what happened?

We just got kidnapped, genius.

Well, it's the nicest kidnapping ever.

There's pillows and everything.

-Let's go, Mikey. -Agh!

We could be attacked at any moment.

We have to be ready for anything.

* tense music plays *

Argh!

[indistinct chatter]

[fly buzzing]

[soft music playing]

Never mind.

I-I was not ready for that.

-Woof. -This is super creepy.

Guys, look!

Fellas!

Over here, fellas!

Leatherhead?!

Leatherhead, w-what are you doing here?

Who are these people?

They're a proper mutant fan club,

aren't they? They love mutants.

They brought me here and they just keep feeding me!

And rubbing me with oil for some reason.

Anything I want. Lookit, that guy's for me!

[brays]

-Sick. -Sick.

Never had a zebra before

and I'm quite excited to try it.

Wait, were you kidnapped too?

Me? Crikey, no.

Met these lads at the zoo.

I like to go there to smell the animals,

no rellies of course.

But exactly who are these guys?

Turtles! You're awake!

Alright, alright, alright. What is up?!

You're Todd Underwood.

Haha! The one and only, brochacho.

He's like a swole Rod.

Hang on. Did you kidnap us?

Ah. That's harsh, bro. I wanted to meet you,

so we just did a li'l bing bang boom!

So you did kidnap us.

Pfff. Tomato, tomato.

Come on, I'll show you around.

Rawr!

The gym is over there

in case you wanna get your sweat on.

There's a trampoline, we got a climbing wall.

So good for your core.

* unsettling music plays *

Yeah, um, w-why is everyone wearing animal masks?

Me and my friends here,

we're in touch with our animal selves.

My dad always taught me this world is eat or be eaten.

Me? I'm an eater.

That's why I'm Dad's favorite.

Also why I started a gym.

Because you're an eater.

Haha! This guy gets it.

Dude, we might be soulmates. Heck yeah!

I mean, I like to work out and I like to eat.

And how did we both end up with super lame siblings?

-Hey! -I mean, it baffles me.

Speaking of siblings,

did you kidnap Rod?

-Mikey! -What?

Come on, he seems like a kidnapper.

I mean he kinda did kidnap us.

Pfft, yeah, Rod eats a lot,

but he's not an eater.

He's an eat-ee.

You know, he's the one that gets eaten.

Like, he's the food.

[munches, belches]

So... yes?

Naw, bro.

Rod's worthless.

I mean, that's what Dad always said.

The only alpha thing he ever did

was hang out with you guys.

I mean, come on, who wouldn't?

We are pretty cool.

Mutants are the coolest!

We all wanna be like you!

You're fearsome, you're nature, not nurture!

We're gonna feast tonight, in your honor!

-Ha... yeah. -Hehe. Yeah... sure.

Rod's family is so weird.

You know, I'm actually starting to feel bad for the guy.

They are all idiots.

I'm thinking about trying out the trampoline.

If we alternate jumps, we can get sick air.

-Whoo-hoo! -Agh.

-* tense music playing * -[slo-mo] Whoa!

Whoa!

-[laughs] -Are you serious, Mikey?

What-what are we even doing here?

To be honest, I've always wanted to try a trampoline.

Uh, yeah, because it's awesome!

You guys are hogging it!

Yeah!

-Whoo! -Haha!

Haha! Uh...

Guys?

[laughs] Alright!

What are they gonna...

That's kind of...

-Ahaha! -It sorta looks like...

[knives clink]

Ahh!

I think they're gonna eat Leatherhead!

So... we should stop jumping?

-Whoo! -Ahh!

So... close...

[grunting]

[laughs]

[man behind door] You know what we want.

[woman] We'll send instructions to make the exchange.

[man 2] Fine. Whatever. Just get me the blood.

I'll pay what you're asking.

No way.

No way!

[grunting]

[pants]

Freedom! Ahh!

Ahh!

My eyes! Ow!

-[tires screech] -[horn honks]

Will you move already?!

Get out of the way! You moron!

[Rod groans]

[satisfied sigh]

[Mikey] Um... Leatherhead?

Mikey! Donnie!

You really need to get on this amazing lotion.

You're both looking a bit dry if I'm being honest.

Uh, sure.

Hey, do you think we could talk to you for a second?

A-alone maybe?

Sure! Give us a quick sec, would you, fellas?

There you go. These fellas are the best.

They seriously love mutants.

Listen! We have to get out of here!

This is not a mutant fan club!

Well, of course it is! What else would it be?

We think these guys wanna... eat us.

Oh, you're having a laugh. That's absurd!

That's not body lotion, Leatherhead, it's cooking oil!

They're literally seasoning you with herbs and spices.

Those are flowers.

It's parsley!

We have to go!

You're being ridiculous!

No one wants to eat me.

They brought me a zebra!

[scared neigh]

I'm not leaving without my zebra!

-Shh! -Ahh!

-Hmm? -Hmm?

-[indistinct chatter] -Huh?

We can bring the zebra with us, but we have to go!

Ah, crikey!

-[vehicle approaches] -[Todd yells]

[tires screech]

Tonight, we feast

on mutants!

Okay, fine,

Rod's family is messed up.

There, I said it. Happy now?

I am, 'cause I'm about to kick some--

[roars]

My zebra!

Leatherhead!

[munching]

Haha! [munches]

-Ha! -Ahh!

Watch out!

I think those are tranquilizer darts!

[both grunt]

[both growl]

Uh, guys!

-[roars] -Ahh!

-[grunt] -Oh, man. [gasps]

Wait, where's Todd?

Come on, ninja, let's do this, bruh!

-[grunts] -Why are you doing this?

I guarantee you we taste terrible!

Yeah, that's why we season you!

I mean, I guess that makes sense.

-But why mutants? -[chuckling]

Have you considered pizza?

Haha!

Why are you so limber?

[grunts]

[groans]

[groans]

When I eat the alligator,

or crocodile, or whatever that thing is,

I'll transform into a mutant just like it!

Then Dad will see that I'm good enough!

You all have serious father issues!

-[groans] -Ahh! Wait!

If you're trying to eat mutants to turn into a mutant,

that means you probably didn't kidnap Rod

to get his mutant blood!

Kidnap Rod?

Why would I kidnap that loser?

I've got you!

[both grunt]

[grunting]

-What's the plan? -Todd didn't kidnap Rod!

We should probably just leave.

Not... without...

my zebra...

[zebra snorts]

Oh, we're all getting out of here.

[birds chirping]

-Whoo-hoo! -[yelling]

[loud thud]

[groans]

[tires screech]

No! Come back!

That's my dad's van!

-[grunts] -[burps, munches]

Mmm?

[glimmers]

[roars]

You are a king.

[snorts, brays]

[snoring]

Well, that was a complete disaster.

Rod's mutant blood is still out there.

Now we have two more people that are trying to kidnap us.

You know, I actually thought Todd was pretty cool

until he tried to eat us.

And he had that sweet trampoline.

Bishop, Maude, Todd...

none of them are the kidnappers.

There's something I'm missing.

You're missing everything, Mikey. I mean,

no offense, but you're kind of terrible at this.

I honestly thought solving crimes

would be a lot easier.

Like what, you thought the kidnapper

-would just call us? -[phone rings]

If that's the kidnapper, I'm going to be so annoyed.

It's Rod!

Wait, that's actually worse.

[phone rings, beeps]

Guys! I got kidnapped!

Yeah, we know. We've been trying to rescue you.

Really? Aw, man, thanks.

But I rescued myself!

I was like hi-yah!

Kung fu ninja moves, I kicked major butt!

Uh-huh. Yeah, sure-sure you did, Rod.

So who took you?!

I heard him. He was talking to them,

the people who took me.

I recognized his voice.

* tense music builds *

It was my dad!

Did not see that coming.

[operatic music playing]

[metal door opens]

I said no interruptions!

You?!

What do you want?

I got something.

It's a mutant scale from the alligator.

I thought she was a crocodile.

[scoffs] Can't you use your fancy nerd stuff

to get some blood or something from it?

Of course! Of course. Uh...

...I can. Of course I can.

We're going to make a mutant.

And then, father will see.
