Shredder or one of his minions putting the turtles and splinter in one of those "pick one or they all die" traps where splinter has to shoot one of his sons with some kind of laser. Plot twist, it's a fake weapon, but they don't know that until after splinter tries to shoot Leo. They manage to get out of it and when they question splinter his only explanation is "a leader needs to sacrifice themselves for the sake of their followers, so I picked the most expendable."
