Reporter:
And with rocketing interest rates, that's bad news for homeowners as the real estate market continues its downward spiral. Coming up, The vigilante known as Nightwatcher strikes again.

Man:
Oh, now, I can't say for sure, but he was definitely an alien.

Woman:
I think it's a disgrace, taking the law into your own hands like that. Leave it to the police.

Michelangelo:
[about the police] I remember how that used to feel, busting up crime syndicates. Sure, they had a bunch of guns, but they weren't like these guns. [flexes his muscles]

Donatello:
Why do you do this to yourself, Mikey? Those glory days are over. Forget about 'em. Get on with your life. Concentrate on your work.

Raphael:
[waking up] Yeah, yeah. Spoken like a true has-been.

Donnie:
Well, look who woke up. I suppose you think Nightwatcher is some kind of hero.

Raph:
Beats sitting around doing nothin' while dirtbags run free.

Donnie:
I would love to know what it is that you do that's so great. At least, we're contributing around here. All you do is sleep all day.

Raph:
Yeah, I do nothing. You're right. You got me all figured out.

Donnie:
Well, I know that your rogue attitude has always been a source of contention to this team. You think fear is the best way to accomplish things, but you're wrong.

Raph:
First of all, this "team" you speak of doesn't exist anymore. And second of all– [almost punches Donatello]

Splinter:
Raphael. [appears] Enough.

Raph:
I think I made my point.

Donnie:
That doesn't prove anything. [Raph goes back to sleep] Why couldn't you send him away for training?

Splinter:
Donatello, this home has become like an empty shell. Each of your brothers has strengths and weaknesses. You must learn to be strong when they are weak. If you don't learn to recognize this, then all hope is lost for our family.

Raph:
Well... [yawns] I'm going to bed. Hey, Leo's back. [pushes book off of Don's face] Better go say "hello" before he leaves again.

Donnie:
What? [happily] Leo!

Leo:
[happily] Hey!

Donnie:
[he and Leonardo hug] Hey!

Mikey:
[sees Leo, surprised] Huh, Leo? [falls over; happily] Is that really you?

Leo:
Yeah.

Mikey:
[gives Leonardo a hug.] I'm, like, dreaming, aren't I?

Leo:
No, Mikey. You're not dreaming.

Mikey:
Oh, good. I have nightmares about birthday parties. [hugs Leo tightly]

[scene fades to the Turtles on top of a building]

Raph:
Okay, Leo, I'll bite. What are we doin' up here?

Leo:
I told Splinter I'd get this team in shape again.

Mikey:
Hey, I've been training. Since you left, my video game scores have, like, doubled.

Leo:
Right. And while you've been playing games, little brother, this Nightwatcher character's come into the neighborhood like some kind of vigilante showboat. But his days are done.

Raph:
Hey, you went AWOL, Leo, and the Nightwatcher was the only guy to pick up the slack. Crime never took a break, you did.

Mikey:
[about the Nightwatcher] I heard his bike, turns into a plane, or like, a jetpack. Hey, Don, you're so smart. Why don't we have jetpacks?

Donnie:
Yeah, that's good, Mikey. I don't even trust you with a driver's license. Have you seen the way this guy behaves?

[the Turtles are interrupted by a roar coming from a construction site]

Mikey:
Whoa. [he and the Turtles run to see the construction site] Ho-ho, someone's cranky!

[monster roars in the construction site]

Raph:
Okay, Jungle Boy, grab a vine.

Leo:
Raph, wait! Splinter told us not to fight!

Mikey:
[chuckles] "Jungle Boy." Good one.

Leo:
[groans in annoyance] Alright, but remember, we're up here for training.

Mikey:
Y'know what I always say, "Train by doin', dude."

Donnie:
Mikey, when have you ever said that?

Mikey:
Dudes, did anyone get the license plate of that thing that hit us last night? Oy, my head.

Donnie:
Okay, th-that was just weird. First the Foot, then the hideous monster--

Mikey:
Yeah. It looked like your mom, dude! [laughs]

Donnie:
Yeah. That would make her your mom too, doofus.

Mikey:
[stops laughing] Yeah, whatever.

Raph:
Keep laughin', Mikey. Last night was an embarrassment!

Leo:
I'll tell you what's embarrassing: You can't even follow a single order.

Raph:
[sarcastically] Oh-ho-ho-ho. How cute. [seriously] You've been back for 5 minutes, and now you're schoolin' us on your master plan.

Leo:
Oh, oh. Okay, so this is my fault now, huh, Raph? I'm the only one that has to be responsible?!

Raph:
Hey, you're the trained master, not me.

Mikey:
[whispering] Dudes, can it. Here comes Splinter.

Splinter:
[walks into the kitchen singing in Japanese] Ooh, good morning, my sons.

Leo, Donnie and Mikey:
[simultaneously] Good morning, sensai.

Raph:
'Sup?

Splinter:
[continues singing in Japanese] Every Ninja's day should start with a healthy breakfast. It fills me with pride to see you boys together again. If anyone needs me, I'll be watching my stories.

Leo:
[to Raph] Hothead.

Raph:
[to Leo] Splinter, Jr.

Splinter:
Cody is going to break up with Donna. I just know it.

Announcer:
We interrupt The Gilmore Girls for this special news report.

News Reporter:
Monsters loose in the city? Strange reports are coming in tonight about a construction site incident that sounds like something out of science fiction.

Splinter:
(What?) [angrily] Boys! [cut to the Turtles kneeling in front of Splinter] Leonardo, I am most disappointed in you. You are the eldest of your brothers. I was counting on you to bring order to the chaos of this family. This is why I have forbidden any surface activity. We cannot return to the surface to fight evil if we continue to fight each other.

Leo:
But, Master Splinter, how can I be expected to do so when Raph–?

Splinter:
[interrupts Leo] There are no excuses when you are the leader, my student.

[Leo sighs in defeat]

Raph:
We have to go out, and find who's responsible for this. There ain't no other solution.

Leo:
Save the brute vigilante junk for that Night Watchman.

Mikey:
[annoyed] Ugh.

Mikey and Raph:
Nightwatcher.

Leo:
Yeah, whatever.

Raph:
I'm goin' out.

April:
[happily] Leo, you came back!

Casey:
[happily] Leo!

Leo:
Sorry the reunion isn't under better circumstances.

Mikey:
[seeing April and Casey's apartment complex] Whoa-ho-ho. Nice pad, kids. [to Raphael] Oh. Hey, Raph.

Donnie:
[taking Raphael's pulse] Well, his vital signs seem to be okay. [opens Raphael's eye] Pupil dilation is normal. [shocked] Whoa! [sees stone star on Raphael's shell]

Leo and Mikey:
[stunned] Whoa.

Donnie:
[pulls stone star out of Raphael's shell] Some sort of stone. Probably obsidian, I think.

Leo:
Well, is he gonna be all right?

Raph:
[waking up; to Leonardo] You're still here? Go back to your jungle.

Leo:
Well, at least his personality's still intact.

Donnie:
And there's an engraving on it. Looks South American. That's your department, April.

Casey:
[holding a sleeping dart] Would it help things if I told you that those statues you collected for that Winters guy were shooting these things at me and Raph?

April:
"The Legend of Yaotl." It can't be. I-I-It was just a myth. A-a scary story the locals told kids around a campfire.

Leo:
Whoa. What are you talking about?

April:
They say 3,000 years ago, some great warrior actually found a portal to another dimension. [camera fades to Yaotl] And when the portal opened, the energy from it gave the warrior eternal life. But it also turned his generals to stone. What if this warrior just kept living forever? He would spend the rest of his days in regret, spending all of his riches and all of his power, trying to find a way to revive his stone generals. Maybe, just maybe, he's built a new empire. [camera pans to Winters' face, and he opens his eyes; fade back to April's apartment] But hey, like I said, it's just a myth.

Donnie:
[examining the dart] Hmmm. If you ask me, you guys, this has Winters' name written all over it.

Leo:
How do you figure that, Donnie?

Casey and Mikey:
Yeah.

Donnie:
[smiling] Because this has Winters' name written all over it.

Raph:
Now I know who to thank for the shot in the arm. [sits down] So, where do we find this guy and his stone jokers?

Leo:
We're not going anywhere until we get Splinter's blessing.

Raph:
[angrily stands up] You're gonna stand here and quote a rule book to me that you ain't been following a year?!

Leo:
Look, Raph, if you got something you want to get off your shell, now's the time. But I'm not gonna stand here and debate Splinter's direct orders with you!

Raph:
[pause; softly yet stern] Fine, then. I quit.

Casey:
Hey, Raph. Don't do it, man. Sometimes just taking a breather is the best thing to do.

Raph:
Whatever.
