Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (2003–2010): Season 5, Episode 9 - Fathers & Sons - full transcript

[string and flute music]

[snoring]

My brothers are always
making fun of me because
I'm still scared of the dark.

[snoring]

[mumbling]

I can't help it!

Sometimes I think I see
real spooky stuff at night,

like the boogeyman,
or monsters,

or scary, skeleton-faced
ghost men.

But I'm pretty sure
that tonight--

[cries]



[gasps]

Ah!
[beast panting]

My brothers are
just as scared as me.

And whatever that red,
bat-winged, floating,
nasty thing is...

[hisses]

[all screaming]

...it is so not helping
my fear of the dark!

[roars]

[thunder crashes]

The Shredder really
beat the shell out of Karai.

I-- I don't know
if she'll make it.

[sigh]
All we can do is wait,

and prepare for
the battle to come.

Masters, we don't stand a chance
against this mystic Shredder.

You should've seen him.
It's impossible.

My son, you four have faced
impossible odds in the past,

and like David facing Goliath,
you overcame the challenge.

Ancient One,
do you remember

when I brought them all
to your home in Japan,

years and years ago?

[chuckles]

How could I forget?
They were such a pain.

Years and years ago?

What are you talking about,
sensei?

Long ago, just after my beloved
Yoshi's passing away,

I took you all on a journey
to Japan.

[ship horn]

Yay! Wee!

Wee!
[laughing]

[fighting]

Argh!

[jokingly]
Ah-ha-ha-ha-ha!

[gasps]

[cries]

[laughter]

[giggling] Whee!

Shh.

[orchestral music]

[Splinter] You see,
after great difficulty,

I had procured
Master Yoshi's ashes

and I was determined
to honor his wish

that he be buried
in the land of his birth,

and near the home
of his sensei and adoptive
father the Ancient One.

It took all of my skills
as a Ninja to keep us
from detection,

but we made it.

[peaceful oriental music]

[humming]

[shrieks]

Ancient One,

It is a great honor to--

Bah! Be gone, nazumi.

I have no time today
for a rat-monster's mischief.

Wise one, please,
I know I must look strange.

I am Splinter.

Splinter?

Splinter?

You are the rat
Yoshi and Tang Shen kept
as a pet? How?

It is a long and strange tale.

I have gone through changes
since Master Yoshi...

since he--

Since Yoshi what?

How is my Yoshi?

I am sorry.

He has been slain.

- [gasps]
- His life was taken...
by the Shredder.

No, this cannot be!

No, no!

This tragedy would not be
if Yoshi had heeded my wishes.

Stayed in Japan
and joined the Ninja Tribunal.

As I remember,
the Ninja Tribunal is to blame.

They were asked to fight
the Utrom Shredder
and did nothing.

Perhaps Yoshi would be alive
today if the Tribunal had not
been so dismissive!

Tag, you're it!

- No way!
- [giggling]

Whoa.

[laughing]

[gasp]

Whoa...

Hey, guys, time out.

Look, there's a man
in the bushes over there.

What do you think he's doing?

Maybe he's lost or something.

Hey, mister!

[growls]

Aah!

It's a boogeyman!

There's a ghost.

Come quick!
He's a skeleton.

Quiet, please.

One at a time.

Mister Splinter,
there's a scary man
in that bush.

I see nothing here.

Well, he was right there.

I'm sorry.

They have had a long journey.

As have you.

And I truly appreciate
your having come all this way
on my behalf.

Splinter son,
we all do love Yoshi
very much.

Let us pay our last respects
and lay him to rest
next to the woman he loved.

[slow string music]

[flute music]

[oriental strings]

[ominous music]

[moans in confusion]

[suspenseful music]

Aah!

Huh?

Aah!

[all crying in fear]

Silence.

If you scream,
I will eat your souls.

[all screaming]

Huh?

Children...

It's all right, shh.

It's all right, little ones.
It's all right now.

My apologizes, Ancient One.
They are not used
to sleeping alone just yet.

Come along, children.

I will stay with you.

[chuckles]

Kids.

[flute music]

- Bye, Ancient One.
- Don't forget to write.

What are you talking about?
You can't even read yet.

Oh yeah.

Well, my friends,
I suppose that this is it.

Safe journey,
Splinter son.

Until we meet again,
Ancient One.

[gasps]
Guys, look!

- [all gasp]
- There it is again!

It's the ghost--

Following the Ancient One.

What are you going on about?

Master Splinter,
we see a ghost,
we really do.

He's like, right there!

Master Splinter,
can't you see him?
He's right there!

I see nothing, my sons.
[sniffs]

But there is a dark scent
in the air.

Come, let us see
that no harm befalls
the Ancient One.

[suspenseful orchestral music]

[door creaks open]

[door opens]

[click]

Dark masters,

the Ancient One
has finally led me to
the Ninja Tribunal monastery.

Excellent!

The amulet we have granted you
will cloak your presence there.

You will remain invisible
to all who encounter you.

Masters...

the four kame children
resisted the amulet spell.

They were able to see me.

What if-- [scream]

You need not concern
yourself with children.

They are powerless.

Find the pool of sorrow,
part its waters
with the amulet's energy.

Beneath it lie
the master's gauntlet,
helmet, and sarcophagus.

Use them to fulfill your only
purpose for existence.

Resurrect the one,
true Shredder!

Yes, raise our master
from his long sleep,

so that he may once again

rule in limitless power
over all the world.

[low strings]

We did not send for you.

Why are you here,
young one?

My masters,
I bring grievous news.

My adopted son, Hamato Yoshi,
has been slain

by the alien bug falsely bearing
the medal of the Shredder.

We know.

You...know?

It is as it must be.

If I may, masters--

Do you question our judgment?

[gasps]

No.

Never.

All is as it must be.

If there is nothing
of consequence
you wish to share, leave us.

We have no need of you.

[ominous music]

[all gasping]

Huh?

[nervous giggle]

What are you doing here?

The children have seen
a phantom stalking you.

The same ghost that they
encountered at your home.

We followed to see that
you came to no harm.

[gasps]

[suspenseful music]

[hovering sound]

There it goes now!

[Ancient One] I see nothing.

Nor do I,

but there is a presence
in the air.

Something is not right.

He's headed for the house
over there!

The Pool of Sorrow!

The artifacts.

Curse me for
a donkey's bottom!

What?

Come.
We must make haste.

Hurry.

[evil gasp]

[growls]

The artifacts.

At long last,
I can fulfill my mission
and resurrect the Shredder.

There he is!

He's right by that glove.

The gauntlet?
I still see nothing.

But his boney butt
is right there.

[gasping in fear]

You will pay for
your interference, little kame.

[shrieks]

[growl]

[crying in fear]

[roars]

Look out!

But we see nothing,
my sons.

[roars]

[cries]

Sensei!

Mister Splinter, no!

[cries]

He's got them both!

I warned you
meddlesome brats.

Watch as your masters perish!

[evil laughter]

Master!

No!

Don't hurt him!

Their suffering will be great.

[evil laugh]

- Argh!
- Argh!

But I promise yours
will be worse.

No!

Argh!

You dare...

- Cut it out!
- Leave them alone.

- Get away!
- Stop it you boneheaded freak.

[evil laughter]

[battle music]

What?

[moans of pain]

Well, look what I see.

Hey, nice shot, little kame.

[groaning]

Now that the playing field
has been leveled, phantom.

Let's see just how scary
you really are.

[effort]

[smacks]

[fighting effort]

[groan of pain]

[growling]

[grunting]

[effort]

Argh!

[growling]

[cheering]

Ancient One, look.

His magic is failing.
Let's end this.

[grunting]

You are finished!

[cries]

[cheering]

[effort]

[cheering]

Yeah, go Splinter!
[laughter]

You destroyed him.

You're the best.

- Way to go, dad.
- Sweet shell-kickin' action.

Well done, young one.

You have crushed a bone demon.

Only with the help
of Splinter son

and his young turtle ninja.

We sensed the Foot mystics
would strike to retrieve
the artifacts,

but knew not when.
Their cunning is boundless.

We owe you thanks, rodent.

You and your kame children.

Masters,
how is it that the children
could see the demon,

yet we could not?

The amulet it wore blinded
the wise and worldly.

Only those pure of heart,
children, were immune
to its powers.

[giggling]

Still, not all children
would resist its magic.

These four are unique.
You have to watch them
for the future.

[playing]

However, at present,
their knowledge of this night
is a danger to them,

and to us.

Their minds must be relieved
of these memories.

I suppose.

Be purged.

[all gasping]

My portal!

Wait.

Splinter, before you go,

I have something for
your little ones.

Ninja masks?

[groaning]

[giggling]

[mumbling]

[electric guitar theme]

Enough foolishness.

Enter the portal.

Good-bye, little kame.

Good-bye, Splinter son.

Take care of yourselves.

Wow.

To think we've been to Japan
and met the Tribunal
when we were just kids.

Yes, my sons.

And even though
you were very small,

you helped win
a very big victory.

And we'll do it again.

We will find a way
to defeat the Shredder.

All of us.

I hope you're right, masters.

I hope you're right.
