An excellent job, if I do say so myself.

[MICHELANGELO] Cowabunga!

Prepare to be shell-shocked, dudes.

My pupils, perhaps you could practice your forms elsewhere.

Gotcha! Hai!

[TURTLES SHOUTING]

Oof!

My pizza!

[SIGHS]

Uh-oh.

Sorry, sensei.

We were just doing some freeform--

Yes. In the living room instead of the training room.

Since you seem so full of energy,

I suggest you spend it elsewhere,

preferably outside.

Aw, come on, Master Splinter.

Now!

Yes, sir. Right away, sir.

We got it.

[MAN] Yes, yes.

It's working!

My evolution accelerator is a success!

Way to go, brain.

[POWERING UP]

I've created the first man-fish hybrid!

Ha ha ha ha!

Who are you?

I'm Dr. Polidorious,

but you can call me Pop.

Pop. Who am I?

A good question.

I think I'll name you Ray

after my second cousin on my mother's side.

You jiving me or what?

That's the dumbest name I've ever heard.

Funny, you're not supposed to have an opinion.

You're just supposed to agree with me.

But no matter.

The important thing is you're the first of my new race

of fish people!

What does that mean?

It's fiendishly simple.

You see, I feel mankind's leaving the ocean millions of years ago

was a big mistake,

and I intend to correct it.

By setting explosive charges around the city,

I can sink it below the ocean's surface

and provide a place for my new race of fish people to live!

That's where you come in, Ray.

I'd like you to plant subterranean explosives

at strategic points in the sewers.

Ha ha ha ha!

You're a real fruitcake, Pop, you know that?

You must obey me.

I'm your master.

Together we could make it possible

for decent fish to walk the streets of the city.

Sure. Why not?

I've got nothing better to do.

Ha ha ha ha!

[BURNE] What have you got for the lead story tonight, April?

Uh, two firemen rescue a kitten from a tree!

No film, I'm afraid.

That's it?

We'll need something better than that!

I'll try somewhere else.

Go. Go, go, go, go!

April calling Turtles!

[LEONARDO] Hey, it's April.

[RAPHAEL] Good.

Maybe she knows if anything exciting is happening.

Leonardo here, April.

What's up?

I was hoping you could tell me.

It's a slow news day.

Sorry, but it's pretty quiet down here, too.

Whoa! Check it out!

Who is it? Shredder?

Rocksteady and Bebop?

Leatherhead?

It's pizza!

A coupon for a free pizza!

What more could any turtle ask for?

We'll get back to you if anything exciting happens, April.

Oh, well.

I guess I'm off to cover the only story going on,

the opening of the new Donald J. Lofty condo building.

[BEEPING]

Ray, how's it going, my fine scaly friend?

Quit bugging me, Pop.

I got the first set of explosives ready.

Super.

We make a great team, don't we?

♪ Me and my turbo, swimming down the Yangtze ♪

Ha ha ha ha!

Knock it off.

I'm gonna take a look around up top,

see if anything's happening.

Be careful.

I don't want you falling in with the wrong crowd.

Just what this city needs:

another high-priced yuppie reservation.

What a tacky place.

I wouldn't live here if they paid me.

Don't worry, Vernon. They won't.

Hey, no use hiding, guys.

I know you're down there.

Hello? Hello?

[GASP]

Whatever that is, it isn't one of the Turtles.

Leonardo here.

Guys, I'm in the sewers

following what looks like some kind of mutant.

It's not Rocksteady or Bebop.

Looks like it's half-man, half-fish!

Okay, April.

Don't do anything rash.

We'll home in on your signal.

Don't worry about me.

I can take care of myself.

Aah!

Uh-oh.

Time to do the turtle boogie!

This is where the signal came from,

but April's not here.

There!

[RAPHAEL] Looks like there's definitely

something fishy going on!

[DONATELLO] Something got her.

Something with scales.

What, she got kidnapped by a weigh station?

All right, let's fan out and search for her.

[BEEPING]

[DOOR OPENS]

Who's this?

I'm April O'Neil of Channel 6 News!

Sorry. I don't give interviews.

Caught her snooping around

where I was setting the explosive.

Figured I'd bring her back here.

Explosive? What explosive?

This is an annoying development.

However, I suppose I must make the best of it.

After all, I need more volunteers

for my hybridization experiments.

Heh heh heh heh.

You'll look quite lovely, my dear,

after your genetic code has been combined

with that of a tuna's.

April!

This is hopeless, dudes.

We've been looking for hours.

And we're going to keep on looking

until we find her.

You know, Leonardo, if all the sewers in this city

were laid end to end--

Yeah?

Well, it'd be a pretty ridiculous sight,

but they'd probably be long enough

to reach from here to the moon.

Thanks for sharing, Raphael.

I think what Raphael means

is that our chances of finding April in these sewers

are somewhat slim.

I know, but we have to keep on searching.

Now, my dear, if you'll just step inside the chamber,

I'll have you looking fit as a flounder in no time.

If you don't mind,

I think I'd rather make like a tree and leave.

Not so fast, lady.

Let go of me, fish face.

Put her in the chamber.

Okay. See you later.

Ah, there goes a good fish.

Let me out of here!

I swear I'll never eat seafood again.

Have you got the latest batch of explosives set?

Yeah, no sweat.

You know, Pop, I been thinking.

I don't want to be part

of a city full of fish people.

I like my privacy.

Well, there's gratitude for you.

I made you what you are today.

If it wasn't for me,

you'd likely be stuffed with crabmeat

on somebody's plate.

All right, all right! I get the picture.

It's done. I'm on my way back.

[BEEP BEEP]

[MICHELANGELO] Man, I am one tired turtle.

Yeah. We've gone through these sewers

like Michelangelo goes through pizza.

And no sign of April.

For that matter, no sign of anybody.

Well, this isn't exactly

the hot new night spot of the city.

Look up ahead.

It's not April. Maybe it's a sewer worker.

Maybe. But I haven't seen too many sewer workers

with fins and gills.

Man, I thought I was ugly.

I feel better now.

I suppose you're looking for that snoopy reporter.

April O'Neil? What have you done with her?

Just try to find out. Come on.

I'll lick you with one fin behind my back.

Boy, this guy's asking for it, you know?

And I say we give it to him!

Aah!

Ohh! Boy, talk about being shell-shocked.

Surprise, shell-backs.

Pop has given me the powers

of all kinds of sea life,

including the electric eel.

Oh, yeah? Well, if you're anything like a real electric eel,

you'll need to recharge before you can do that again.

And we're not giving you the chance.

[IN UNISON] Turtle power!

Think so?

Check out the rest of my arsenal.

How about the quills of the scorpion fish?

Yeww!

Heads, I win. Tails, you lose.

Whoa!

Oof.

Oh, he whipped me good.

Okay, squid for brains,

try these sais on for size!

Right back at'cha.

It's been real, guys, but...I got to split.

Later.

After him!

Like, where'd he go?

He's used ink to cloud the water,

just like a squid.

Well, it wouldn't take much.

It's not exactly the clearest water in the world to start.

We've got to find out what he did with April.

Yeah. He's probably a Pisces

working for scale.

For someone who's all wet,

he sure hung us out to dry.

I hate to say this,

but it looks like we're down the drain

without a plunger.

[BURNE] The ceremony's about to begin.

Where's April?

She's gone.

Personally, sir, I don't think

she's being very professional.

[CHEERING]

What's that?

It's Donald J. Lofty.

He's here to begin the opening ceremonies.

And my star reporter is nowhere in sight!

Even my ulcers are getting ulcers!

Oh! Oh! Oh-oh!

[POP] In a few minutes,

I'll have undone the work

of millions of years of evolution. Ha ha!

No, no. Don't thank me.

Hang me for a halibut!

One of the positronic circuits shorted out.

Excuse me. It'll just take a minute to fix.

If I can just adjust this two-way radio

to the Turtles' frequency.

What are you doing?

I just thought I'd put on some music.

Well, forget it.

It's time to fulfill your destiny

as the latest of my breed of fish folk.

Ah-ah-ah. I wouldn't try it, Miss O'Neil.

This isn't a water pistol.

Now, please, into the accelerator

before my electrical bill goes sky-high!

And now, prepare to be scaled down.

Ooh, ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!

[DONATELLO] Hey, I'm getting a signal.

It's reading steady.

I can hone in on it real easy.

It must be from April.

She must have found some transmitting device,

and rigged it up to our frequencies.

Talk about clever.

Whoa! We should make that dudette

and honorary Turtle.

Come on! Let's go!

[POP] Ha ha ha ha ha!

Let me out of here!

[MICHELANGELO] Hold that pose, sleazoid!

Oh, man, not another mad scientist.

I'm not mad.

A little peevish, maybe.

I am Dr. Polidorius,

and soon the entire world will know my name.

Yeah? Maybe.

But I'll bet they won't be able to spell it.

All right, Dr. Pollyanna.

That's Polidorius!

Whatever. Open that new-wave refrigerator

and let April out.

I don't think so,

and neither will you if you look behind you.

Come on, Dr. Polyester.

Polidorius!

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Well, we're not gonna fall for that old trick.

Then how about this old trick?

Whoa! Whoa!

Oh, that old trick we'll fall for every time.

Good work, Ray.

Now to make sure they don't interfere.

Oh, boy. Some heroes we are.

Now to create the next member

of my underwater breed.

Big deal.

Help! Help!

Aah!

April, you're a--

a fish.

[GASP]

Ohh!

Aah!

A gorgeous job if I do say so myself.

Are you kidding? I'm hideous!

Nonsense. You'll be getting fan mail from dolphins

in no time.

And as for you four, I'll keep you around

and study your genetic code.

You never can tell when a new DNA helix might come in handy.

Hee hee! Isn't she beautiful?

Yeah. Swell.

Now go on like a good fish

and finish planting your explosives.

Yeah. I'm out of here.

Explosives?

What's he doing planting explosives under the city?

It's very simple and yet stunningly ingenious!

When these explosives go off,

this city will be called New Atlantis!

I'll repopulate it with mutated fish people.

And I'll be mayor, of course.

Not if we've got anything to say about it, bud.

And we got lots to say about it.

I think it's time to beat a strategic retreat.

Hey, come back here, Dr. Polly-Wolly-Doodle.

That's Polidorius!

Oh, we lost him.

That guy is slipperier than an eel.

Are you okay, April?

Oh, sure. I'm great.

Just call me Tina Tuna.

Don't worry. We'll find a way

to change you back to a human,

though personally I think you might look better

with green skin and a shell.

It seems pretty obvious

that Dr. Poly--er--ensaturated or whatever his name is

means business. We've got to stop him.

Yeah, and we better haul shell to do it.

According to this schedule,

he's gonna set off the explosives at noon.

We've got to disarm them.

Come on. There's no time to lose.

There never is.

[BEEPING]

Ha. There. It's disarmed.

That makes four explosives we've disconnected.

Well, there's still one set

at the base of the new Lofty Condo.

It's almost noon. We'll never get there in time.

Our only hope is to find that crazy Dr. Polytechnic

Polidorius.

Whatever. Before he uses his detonator

to set off the explosive.

Oh, sure. That'll be easy.

We've only got 3,000 miles of sewers to search

in 15 minutes!

Wait. Maybe I can help.

Dr. Polidorius has given me the powers

of certain sea animals.

Uh, I hate to burst your bubble,

but that sounds more like sonar.

Of course.

Dolphins have sonar. They can track anything.

Including Dr. Polyurethane?

Hey, why not? They do it in other fish stories.

Follow me!

[GRUNTING]

[IN UNISON] Turtle power!

You've found us.

I knew I should have given her the speed of a sea snail instead.

The jig's up, so come along quietly, Dr. Polynesia.

Whale them but good.

I'm setting off the bomb.

Prepare for a primo Turtle thrashing.

Yeah? Well, just check out my blowfish impression.

[INHALING]

Whoa! Whoa!

They've disarmed all of my explosions except one.

The skill.

There are worse places

for my fish people to live

than an underwater luxury condo.

Ha ha! I love it.

April's missed the most explosive story of the week.

Aah! Aah!

Oh! I've heard of outdoor plumbing,

but this is ridiculous.

I've won!

Ray and April will be the start

of my new aquatic race.

They can have the penthouse suite.

You're all washed up, Polidorius!

Let me go!

[ALARM BLARES]

You fool!

You've activated the emergency floodgate.

It's water from the sinking condominiums!

We'd better get to some nice, dry sewers, and fast.

April, bring Dr. Parlez-vous.

It's Poli--

Alone at last.

Man, I thought I'd never leave.

Man, I'd say these condominiums are finito.

Oh, I'm ruined!

Well, look on the bright side, Mr. Lofty.

They'll make a swell aquarium.

[GASP] That's it. An aquarium!

I'll make a fortune!

Oh, you Turtles have done it again.

How can I ever thank you?

By getting us back to the Unbridled Technology Building.

So we can make this doofus doctor

turn out friend April back to normal.

Boy, am I fatigued.

Any of you guys know the way

to the nearest sea bed?

Hey, come back!

Was it something I said?

Oh, well. It's home.

Good thing Dr. Polyhedron was able to use his machine

to change April back to her human form.

Yeah. Otherwise, she'd be out

fishing for a new job right now.

What do you suppose happened to old Ray?

I have a feeling

we haven't heard the last of him, Michelangelo.

Hey, hey, turn it up. I want to hear this.

And the million-dollar condo complex

built by Donald J. Lofty,

which sank into the ocean earlier today,

has been converted into an aquarium and underwater restaurant

by the clever financier.

You know, sometimes I think we're in the wrong business.

Don't worry about it, Raphael.

Yeah. He may make the bucks,

but we get to be the heroes.

After all, he's just a big fish

in a little pond.

Oh, I can't believe you. Give me a break!
