00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:02,000
Yeah…

170
00:06:02,000 --> 00:06:03,000
and failing at it. [chuckling]

171
00:06:03,000 --> 00:06:05,000
It's impossible, remember?

172
00:06:05,000 --> 00:06:06,000
We made it up when we were ten.

173
00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:10,000
Yeah, but I was still hoping
I could somehow pull it off.

174
00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:11,000
I need a win today.

175
00:06:12,000 --> 00:06:13,000
It's like my parents said--

176
00:06:13,000 --> 00:06:17,000
sure, it wasn't perfect,
but we saved Lobbo and Old Town.

177
00:06:17,000 --> 00:06:19,000
That's not bad.

178
00:06:19,000 --> 00:06:20,000
But it isn't just today.

179
00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:25,000
Ah!

180
00:06:26,000 --> 00:06:27,000
[panting]

181
00:06:27,000 --> 00:06:28,000
H'yah!

182
00:06:28,000 --> 00:06:30,000
Whoa!

183
00:06:31,000 --> 00:06:32,000
Sorry!

184
00:06:33,000 --> 00:06:35,000
Milady!

185
00:06:35,000 --> 00:06:36,000
Oh!

186
00:06:38,000 --> 00:06:39,000
Maybe my dad's right.

187
00:06:39,000 --> 00:06:41,000
Maybe I'm not a real Ninja.

188
00:06:41,000 --> 00:06:45,000
[sighing] You have to stop worrying
about what your dad thinks.

189
00:06:45,000 --> 00:06:47,000
It's hard not to.

190
00:06:47,000 --> 00:06:51,000
All I ever wanted was his approval,
and he'd just… ignore me,

191
00:06:51,000 --> 00:06:53,000
or belittle me so much

192
00:06:53,000 --> 00:06:55,000
I'd wish he'd go back
to ignoring me.

193
00:06:55,000 --> 00:06:56,000
You wouldn't understand.

194
00:06:56,000 --> 00:06:58,000
Your parents are awesome.

195
00:06:58,000 --> 00:06:59,000
They are…

196
00:06:59,000 --> 00:07:03,000
but I do know a thing or two
about not feeling worthy.

197
00:07:03,000 --> 00:07:05,000
No one gets it right
all the time,

198
00:07:05,000 --> 00:07:07,000
but the Frak I know
always keeps trying,

199
00:07:08,000 --> 00:07:09,000
even when it feels like
it's hopeless.

200
00:07:10,000 --> 00:07:12,000
You never quit.

201
00:07:12,000 --> 00:07:13,000
I don't, do I?

202
00:07:14,000 --> 00:07:15,000
Huh.

203
00:07:15,000 --> 00:07:18,000
Maybe I should focus less
on trying impossible moves,

204
00:07:18,000 --> 00:07:20,000
and more on figuring out
what went wrong today.

205
00:07:20,000 --> 00:07:22,000
Bike practice it is.

206
00:07:22,000 --> 00:07:23,000
[Intelligent George]
<i>These young Ninja</i>

207
00:07:23,000 --> 00:07:25,000

[Frak] Burn marks?

211
00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:32,000
<i>People are beginning to wonder</i>

214

215
00:07:38,000 --> 00:07:39,000
Wait…

216
00:07:39,000 --> 00:07:40,000
What was that?

217
00:07:42,000 --> 00:07:43,000
[rewinding]

218
00:07:45,000 --> 00:07:47,000
<i>-…safer, like the inside of a volcano…</i>
-[Frak] A laser?

219
00:07:47,000 --> 00:07:50,000
I didn't stall the bike with the throttle.

220
00:07:50,000 --> 00:07:51,000
A laser blast stalled it.

221
00:07:51,000 --> 00:07:53,000
But who…?

222
00:07:53,000 --> 00:07:54,000
[gasping]

223
00:07:54,000 --> 00:07:55,000
General Cryptor?

224
00:07:55,000 --> 00:07:58,000
[Sora] I guess it could be a face?

225
00:07:58,000 --> 00:07:59,000
[Frak] Not a face!

226
00:07:59,000 --> 00:08:00,000
Cryptor's face!

227
00:08:00,000 --> 00:08:02,000
But Cryptor's dead, Frak.

228
00:08:03,000 --> 00:08:05,000
What's a Cryptor?

229
00:08:05,000 --> 00:08:07,000
Not all of us grew up around here,
Ninja Nerds.

230
00:08:07,000 --> 00:08:10,000
He was an evil Nindroid general
who commanded his robotic army

231
00:08:10,000 --> 00:08:12,000
to overrun Ninjago City.

232
00:08:12,000 --> 00:08:14,000
We were just kids,
but I'll never forget it.

233
00:08:14,000 --> 00:08:18,000
It was a terrifying time,
until the Ninja saved us,

234
00:08:19,000 --> 00:08:22,000
but he can't be back,
because he's dead.

235
00:08:22,000 --> 00:08:24,000
What's death to a Nindroid?

236
00:08:24,000 --> 00:08:26,000
They just need robot repairs.

237
00:08:26,000 --> 00:08:29,000
Cryptor was a living Nindroid,
like Zane.

238
00:08:29,000 --> 00:08:32,000
When he died, his spirit went
to the Realm of the Departed,

239
00:08:32,000 --> 00:08:35,000
and the spirits there have moved on.

240
00:08:35,000 --> 00:08:37,000
You should really show this to P.I.X.A.L.

241
00:08:37,000 --> 00:08:38,000
She'll know if it was Cryptor for sure.

242
00:08:38,000 --> 00:08:42,000
I tried to, but Frohicky told me
she left a couple days ago.

243
00:08:42,000 --> 00:08:45,000
Told him she had to get some things done
before Zane got back.

244
00:08:45,000 --> 00:08:48,000
[Sora] That red flash
could just be a spark

245
00:08:48,000 --> 00:08:49,000
from your failing engine.

246
00:08:49,000 --> 00:08:52,000
Look, we're all having a rough time.

247
00:08:52,000 --> 00:08:55,000
I know it feels better
to think someone sabotaged you.

248
00:08:55,000 --> 00:09:00,000
Yeah, but this random red streak
isn't exactly proving it.

249
00:09:01,000 --> 00:09:04,000
There's gotta be
some kind of evidence here.

250
00:09:10,000 --> 00:09:12,000
[soft footstep]

251
00:09:13,000 --> 00:09:14,000
Hiyah!

252
00:09:14,000 --> 00:09:16,000
I knew you'd come back
to the scene of your crime, Cryp--

253
00:09:17,000 --> 00:09:18,000
[groaning]

254
00:09:18,000 --> 00:09:19,000
Dad?!

255
00:09:19,000 --> 00:09:20,000
Wow! [chuckling]

256
00:09:20,000 --> 00:09:23,000
You moved so fast
I didn't even see you hit me.

257
00:09:23,000 --> 00:09:24,000
[groaning]

258
00:09:24,000 --> 00:09:26,000
What were you doing,
sneaking up like that?

259
00:09:27,000 --> 00:09:28,000
Uh… well,

260
00:09:28,000 --> 00:09:32,000
I was simply trying
to say hello to my son,

261
00:09:32,000 --> 00:09:35,000
but I didn't take into account
your lightning-fast reflexes.

262
00:09:35,000 --> 00:09:37,000
You wouldn't happen to have
an ice pack, would you?

263
00:09:38,000 --> 00:09:39,000
Oh, dear.

264
00:09:39,000 --> 00:09:40,000
Dad, it's the middle of the night.

265
00:09:40,000 --> 00:09:42,000
Why are you out here?

266
00:09:42,000 --> 00:09:45,000
[sighing] Well, i-it's a bit complicated.

267
00:09:45,000 --> 00:09:47,000
Yeah? I know complicated. Try me.

268
00:09:47,000 --> 00:09:49,000
Well, you see,

269
00:09:49,000 --> 00:09:54,000
my reputation in the Explorer's Club
has taken a bit of a hit recently.

270
00:09:54,000 --> 00:09:56,000
I took charge of our Rare Maps Collection.

271
00:09:56,000 --> 00:09:58,000
I was convinced I would be able to curate

272
00:09:59,000 --> 00:10:01,000
better than anyone had before me,

273
00:10:01,000 --> 00:10:06,000
but last night, someone stole a rare map
from right under my nose.

274
00:10:06,000 --> 00:10:09,000
Someone outsmarted you? You?

275
00:10:09,000 --> 00:10:10,000
You always said that was impossible.

276
00:10:10,000 --> 00:10:11,000
[sighing and wincing in pain]

277
00:10:12,000 --> 00:10:13,000
Uh, son,

278
00:10:13,000 --> 00:10:17,000
I have not been, how shall I say,
in the greatest of headspaces recently,

279
00:10:17,000 --> 00:10:21,000
and therefore less than stellar
at my duties as an Explorer,

280
00:10:21,000 --> 00:10:24,000
and now, because of this brazen theft,
my name is mud.

281
00:10:24,000 --> 00:10:26,000
Well, not literally "Mud," of course.

282
00:10:26,000 --> 00:10:29,000
My colleague Mud Johanson
still has that name legally.

283
00:10:29,000 --> 00:10:31,000
So let me get this straight--

284
00:10:31,000 --> 00:10:35,000
someone stole a rare map,
and you're taking the blame yourself?

285
00:10:35,000 --> 00:10:37,000
You're not blaming it on anyone else?

286
00:10:37,000 --> 00:10:38,000
Like Gweeg?

287
00:10:38,000 --> 00:10:39,000
I am not.

288
00:10:39,000 --> 00:10:43,000
As a matter of fact, Dr. Gweeg
has been promoted to my superior.

289
00:10:44,000 --> 00:10:48,000
It seems his heroic actions in Umbrasylvis
were looked upon with great favor,

290
00:10:48,000 --> 00:10:52,000
whereas my inability to notice
an evil Loyalist within our ranks

291
00:10:52,000 --> 00:10:55,000
was received with, uh…
less than royal fanfare.

292
00:10:55,000 --> 00:10:56,000
However!

293
00:10:57,000 --> 00:10:59,000
I am determined to get the map back
and repair my sullied name,

294
00:11:00,000 --> 00:11:04,000
and the trail led me here,
where I find my son, of all people.

295
00:11:04,000 --> 00:11:07,000
I'm sure this isn't the case,
but I must ask,

296
00:11:07,000 --> 00:11:09,000
you didn't steal the map, did you, Frak?

297
00:11:09,000 --> 00:11:12,000
As some sort of revenge
on your neglectful father?

298
00:11:12,000 --> 00:11:13,000
No.

299
00:11:14,000 --> 00:11:16,000
I'm here because someone
sabotaged me today using a laser.

300
00:11:16,000 --> 00:11:17,000
A laser?

301
00:11:18,000 --> 00:11:20,000
A finely honed laser was the tool used

302
00:11:20,000 --> 00:11:22,000
to cut through the glass
containing the missing map.

303
00:11:22,000 --> 00:11:24,000
[together] Are we after the same person?

304
00:11:25,000 --> 00:11:26,000
Well, here we are.

305
00:11:26,000 --> 00:11:29,000
I'm sure it's been a while
since you've seen my office.

306
00:11:29,000 --> 00:11:30,000
[wincing in pain] Ah… ooh.

307
00:11:30,000 --> 00:11:32,000
[groaning]

308
00:11:32,000 --> 00:11:34,000
A while… or never.

309
00:11:34,000 --> 00:11:35,000
Oh, well, uh…

310
00:11:35,000 --> 00:11:38,000
perhaps this is another one of the…

311
00:11:38,000 --> 00:11:41,000
blind spots in my parenting
you've made me aware of.

312
00:11:41,000 --> 00:11:42,000
I made you aware of?

313
00:11:42,000 --> 00:11:45,000
You, uh, you've forgotten
what you said in Umbrasylvis?

314
00:11:45,000 --> 00:11:47,000
How you thought I was capable of evil?

315
00:11:47,000 --> 00:11:51,000
When I'm stressed out,
sometimes I say things I don't mean.

316
00:11:51,000 --> 00:11:53,000
[Reggie] Ah, but you're not wrong.

317
00:11:53,000 --> 00:11:55,000
I have been doing a lot
of soul-searching since then,

318
00:11:55,000 --> 00:11:58,000
but I wasn't all that bad of a father.

319
00:11:58,000 --> 00:11:59,000
I mean, look--

320
00:11:59,000 --> 00:12:02,000
I eat all my lunches and snacks
on this plate you made for me.

321
00:12:02,000 --> 00:12:03,000
Dad, that's a Chest Plate.

322
00:12:05,000 --> 00:12:06,000
Ninja armor?

323
00:12:06,000 --> 00:12:08,000
I made it so we could pretend
to be Ninja together

324
00:12:08,000 --> 00:12:09,000
and fight bad guys.

325
00:12:09,000 --> 00:12:10,000
We never did.

326
00:12:11,000 --> 00:12:13,000
Well, that would finally explain
its odd shape.

327
00:12:13,000 --> 00:12:16,000
Perhaps you're not as bad as making plates
as I long believed.

328
00:12:16,000 --> 00:12:18,000
So, this mystery laser user?

329
00:12:18,000 --> 00:12:19,000
Yeah.

330
00:12:19,000 --> 00:12:21,000
Was the saboteur focused on me?

331
00:12:21,000 --> 00:12:23,000
All the Ninja?

332
00:12:23,000 --> 00:12:27,000
Or did they want to damage
the upcoming Summit of the Merged Lands?

333
00:12:27,000 --> 00:12:30,000
Your stolen map, what was it for?

334
00:12:30,000 --> 00:12:32,000
Son, it was a map of passages
under Old Town,

335
00:12:32,000 --> 00:12:35,000
where there's long been rumored
a buried Mind Crystal.

336
00:12:35,000 --> 00:12:37,000
A Mind Crystal?

337
00:12:37,000 --> 00:12:38,000
Yes, yes, yes.

338
00:12:38,000 --> 00:12:39,000
Legend has it

339
00:12:39,000 --> 00:12:41,000
that it can be used to control minds,

340
00:12:41,000 --> 00:12:43,000
or switch minds,
or other mind-related business.

341
00:12:44,000 --> 00:12:47,000
It would give the one who possesses it
a great deal of power,

342
00:12:47,000 --> 00:12:48,000
if it's even real.

343
00:12:48,000 --> 00:12:51,000
I suspect Cryptor is behind my sabotage,

344
00:12:51,000 --> 00:12:52,000
and it would make sense
if he stole your map.

345
00:12:53,000 --> 00:12:54,000
He's always been searching
for great power.

346
00:12:54,000 --> 00:12:55,000
Cryptor?

347
00:12:55,000 --> 00:12:57,000
The Ninja's old foe?

348
00:12:57,000 --> 00:13:00,000
Then why are you here alone?

349
00:13:00,000 --> 00:13:01,000
Not working with your fellow Ninja?

350
00:13:01,000 --> 00:13:04,000
They don't believe
that Cryptor's back from the dead,

351
00:13:04,000 --> 00:13:06,000
so I came here
to find evidence to prove it.

352
00:13:06,000 --> 00:13:07,000
You know,

353
00:13:07,000 --> 00:13:10,000
I've never met anyone
with knowledge of the Ninja like you.

354
00:13:10,000 --> 00:13:14,000
If you say it's this Cryptor chap,
by Jove, it must be true.

355
00:13:14,000 --> 00:13:17,000
But how do we stop Cryptor
from getting this Mind Crystal?

356
00:13:17,000 --> 00:13:19,000
You wouldn't happen to have
a copy of the map?

357
00:13:19,000 --> 00:13:21,000
To try to beat him there?

358
00:13:21,000 --> 00:13:22,000
No…

359
00:13:23,000 --> 00:13:26,000
…but I have something better than a copy!

360
00:13:26,000 --> 00:13:27,000
Ha ha!

361
00:13:28,000 --> 00:13:29,000
My own brain!

362
00:13:29,000 --> 00:13:33,000
Not to doubt you, but how is your brain
possibly better than a map?

363
00:13:33,000 --> 00:13:37,000
Haven't you ever wondered
how I remember the exact names and dates

364
00:13:37,000 --> 00:13:40,000
for every excavator
in the Maltmer Expedition, hmm?

365
00:13:40,000 --> 00:13:42,000
I have never once wondered that.

366
00:13:42,000 --> 00:13:46,000
Or noticed that I can sing all 56 verses
of the Serpentine Odyssey,

367
00:13:46,000 --> 00:13:48,000
unabridged, by memory?

368
00:13:48,000 --> 00:13:49,000
Never noticed.

369
00:13:50,000 --> 00:13:52,000
Son, I have a photographic memory!

370
00:13:53,000 --> 00:13:54,000
Then why'd you forget my sixth bir--

371
00:13:54,000 --> 00:13:57,000
Anyhow, I have
a perfect replica of the map…

372
00:13:57,000 --> 00:13:59,000
in my mind!

373
00:13:59,000 --> 00:14:02,000
We can try to beat Cryptor
to the Mind Crystal!

374
00:14:02,000 --> 00:14:03,000
Let me pack my explorer's gear!

375
00:14:03,000 --> 00:14:07,000
Oh, this will be like
the Ninja-pretend time we never had!

376
00:14:07,000 --> 00:14:09,000
Now, if memory serves,

377
00:14:10,000 --> 00:14:13,000
there should be an old sewer entrance, uh…

378
00:14:13,000 --> 00:14:15,000
Is that it right there?

379
00:14:15,000 --> 00:14:16,000
Huh.

380
00:14:16,000 --> 00:14:20,000
Well, uh, perhaps my photographic memory
has north and south mixed up.

381
00:14:21,000 --> 00:14:24,000
Haven't been
down in the sewers in forever.

382
00:14:24,000 --> 00:14:26,000
I'm an embarrassment
to Serpentine everywhere.

383
00:14:26,000 --> 00:14:27,000
[laughing]

384
00:14:27,000 --> 00:14:29,000
[laughing] Don't be so hard on yourself.

385
00:14:29,000 --> 00:14:32,000
I've never once
been in these sewers beneath Old Town,

386
00:14:32,000 --> 00:14:35,000
and I'm a Serpentine and an explorer.

387
00:14:35,000 --> 00:14:37,000
So, do you still create pies?

388
00:14:37,000 --> 00:14:40,000
Oh, I sure do miss your
Merlopian Crumble Custard pie.

389
00:14:40,000 --> 00:14:42,000
Mm, magnifique.

390
00:14:42,000 --> 00:14:43,000
M'wah!

391
00:14:43,000 --> 00:14:45,000
Really? You like my pies?

392
00:14:45,000 --> 00:14:49,000
Cooking was your mother's skill,
I cannot even boil water.

393
00:14:49,000 --> 00:14:53,000
Now, uh, we go around this corner, and--

394
00:14:53,000 --> 00:14:55,000
Oh!

395
00:14:55,000 --> 00:14:57,000
[Frak] Maybe there have
been changes down here

396
00:14:57,000 --> 00:14:58,000
since that map was made?

397
00:14:58,000 --> 00:14:59,000
[Reggie] Thank you, son,

398
00:14:59,000 --> 00:15:02,000
but even I am beginning to doubt
the photographic nature of my memory.

399
00:15:02,000 --> 00:15:03,000
[Loyalist] Don't move!

400
00:15:03,000 --> 00:15:04,000
[weapon charging]

401
00:15:04,000 --> 00:15:05,000
You're coming with us!

402
00:15:07,000 --> 00:15:08,000
-[Frak] Loyalists?
-[weapons charging]

403
00:15:08,000 --> 00:15:11,000
So, is this the end for us?

404
00:15:11,000 --> 00:15:14,000
Ha! We're just getting started.

405
00:15:14,000 --> 00:15:15,000
[firing]

406
00:15:15,000 --> 00:15:17,000
Hi'yah!

407
00:15:17,000 --> 00:15:18,000
H'uh! H'yah!

408
00:15:18,000 --> 00:15:19,000
[blasting]

409
00:15:22,000 --> 00:15:23,000
H'ah! H'yah!

410
00:15:24,000 --> 00:15:26,000
Dad, run for it!

411
00:15:30,000 --> 00:15:31,000
[grunting]

412
00:15:31,000 --> 00:15:32,000
Dad!

413
00:15:37,000 --> 00:15:39,000
[Frak groans]

414
00:15:42,000 --> 00:15:43,000
[pickaxes hammering]

415
00:15:43,000 --> 00:15:45,000
Well, you were right, son.

416
00:15:45,000 --> 00:15:46,000
Huh?

417
00:15:46,000 --> 00:15:47,000
Look.

418
00:15:47,000 --> 00:15:49,000
[whispering] That's Cryptor!

419
00:15:49,000 --> 00:15:50,000
I knew it, he's still alive!

420
00:15:52,000 --> 00:15:53,000
[Cryptor] Careful!

421
00:15:53,000 --> 00:15:56,000
We cannot damage the item.

422
00:15:56,000 --> 00:15:57,000
[Loyalist] Sir?

423
00:15:59,000 --> 00:16:01,000
[Cryptor] Unexpected interlopers?

424
00:16:01,000 --> 00:16:03,000
You have witnessed too much.

425
00:16:04,000 --> 00:16:06,000
I'll have to determine
what to do with you.

426
00:16:06,000 --> 00:16:08,000
You don't know who
you're messing with, Cryptor!

427
00:16:08,000 --> 00:16:11,000
Someone pretending to be a Ninja?

428
00:16:11,000 --> 00:16:13,000
I am a real Ninja, I'll have you know,

429
00:16:13,000 --> 00:16:16,000
and it's only a matter of time
before the other Ninja get here!

430
00:16:16,000 --> 00:16:20,000
I activated a homing beacon,
and they know exactly where we are!

431
00:16:20,000 --> 00:16:22,000
[quietly] Did you do that for real?

432
00:16:22,000 --> 00:16:23,000
[quietly] No, it's a total bluff.

433
00:16:23,000 --> 00:16:24,000
Just roll with me on this.

434
00:16:24,000 --> 00:16:29,000
If other Ninja are on their way,
I've made my determination--

435
00:16:29,000 --> 00:16:32,000
destroy you,
and your homing beacon,

436
00:16:33,000 --> 00:16:36,000
and dump your remains in the river.

437
00:16:36,000 --> 00:16:37,000
Do you really think it's wise

438
00:16:37,000 --> 00:16:40,000
to eliminate the Merged Lands'
foremost expert

439
00:16:40,000 --> 00:16:42,000
on the Mind Crystal?

440
00:16:44,000 --> 00:16:45,000
[Cryptor] Continue.

441
00:16:45,000 --> 00:16:47,000
I have scrutinized hundreds of tomes

442
00:16:47,000 --> 00:16:50,000
regarding the power
of this enchanted yet dangerous Crystal.

443
00:16:51,000 --> 00:16:52,000
Without my help,

444
00:16:52,000 --> 00:16:56,000
you'll likely turn yourself
and your henchmen into drooling infants

445
00:16:56,000 --> 00:16:58,000
by misusing its power!

446
00:16:58,000 --> 00:16:59,000
[quietly] Is all that true?

447
00:16:59,000 --> 00:17:02,000
[quietly] Of course not,
but roll with me on this.

448
00:17:02,000 --> 00:17:03,000
I'm buying us time!

449
00:17:03,000 --> 00:17:04,000
[quietly] For what?

450
00:17:04,000 --> 00:17:05,000
For this!

451
00:17:05,000 --> 00:17:08,000
Ha! You naive fools fell for my ruse!

452
00:17:08,000 --> 00:17:10,000
[exciting music]

453
00:17:10,000 --> 00:17:11,000
-[Frak] H'yah!
-[Reggie] I'm no expert

454
00:17:11,000 --> 00:17:15,000
on the Mind Crystal,
but I did win second place

455
00:17:15,000 --> 00:17:20,000
in this year's "Escaping from
Enemies' Bindings" competition!

456
00:17:20,000 --> 00:17:21,000
Huzzah!

457
00:17:21,000 --> 00:17:22,000
[Frak] Huah-hah!

458
00:17:22,000 --> 00:17:24,000
[Cryptor] You will be crushed!

459
00:17:24,000 --> 00:17:25,000
[laser powering up]

460
00:17:26,000 --> 00:17:27,000
[Frak] Huah!

461
00:17:27,000 --> 00:17:30,000
Huh… ah!

462
00:17:30,000 --> 00:17:31,000
[Frak laughs in triumph] I did it!

463
00:17:31,000 --> 00:17:33,000
A double-twist flying kick!

464
00:17:34,000 --> 00:17:35,000
Oh!

465
00:17:35,000 --> 00:17:37,000
-H'yah!
-[Cryptor] Halt!

466
00:17:37,000 --> 00:17:39,000
Focus on digging out the Mind Crystal!

467
00:17:39,000 --> 00:17:41,000
Leave them to me!
-[laser charging up]

[Frak] H'yah!

471
00:17:50,000 --> 00:17:52,000
Wow, he truly is a real Ninja.

472
00:17:53,000 --> 00:17:55,000
[scanner beeping]

473
00:17:57,000 --> 00:17:59,000
[Frak] Dad, we gotta get
outta here and find help!

474
00:17:59,000 --> 00:18:00,000
What does your photographic
mind map tell you?

475
00:18:01,000 --> 00:18:03,000
Uh, uh, uh… there!

476
00:18:03,000 --> 00:18:05,000
That should lead us just outside
the Old Town Square!

477
00:18:09,000 --> 00:18:11,000
[Cryptor] You will not
get out of here alive!

478
00:18:11,000 --> 00:18:12,000
[Frak roaring] H'yah!

479
00:18:12,000 --> 00:18:13,000
[grunting]

480
00:18:15,000 --> 00:18:16,000
[Frak] Can we make that a bet?

481
00:18:16,000 --> 00:18:18,000
'cause I could really use a win today.

482
00:18:18,000 --> 00:18:20,000
[thrilling music]

[Reggie chuckles]

485
00:18:31,000 --> 00:18:32,000
Did you see that, son?

486
00:18:32,000 --> 00:18:35,000
I swung my legs up
and kicked that manhole cover off!

487
00:18:35,000 --> 00:18:36,000
I was an action hero!

488
00:18:37,000 --> 00:18:38,000
Yeah, great, Dad, but we gotta go before--

489
00:18:38,000 --> 00:18:39,000
[clanging]

490
00:18:39,000 --> 00:18:41,000
[citizens screaming in panic]

491
00:18:41,000 --> 00:18:43,000
[Cryptor] Run! Scream!

492
00:18:43,000 --> 00:18:44,000
Fear me!

493
00:18:44,000 --> 00:18:45,000
[laser powering up]

494
00:18:45,000 --> 00:18:46,000
[blasting]

495
00:18:46,000 --> 00:18:47,000
[Frak panting]

496
00:18:47,000 --> 00:18:48,000
H'yah!

497
00:18:49,000 --> 00:18:50,000
Leave them out of this!

498
00:18:50,000 --> 00:18:52,000
Your fight's with us!

499
00:18:52,000 --> 00:18:53,000
[Cryptor] You?

500
00:18:53,000 --> 00:18:56,000
My fight is with everyone
in the Merged Lands!

501
00:18:56,000 --> 00:18:57,000
[laser blasting]

502
00:19:00,000 --> 00:19:03,000
[panicked screaming]

503
00:19:03,000 --> 00:19:04,000
[laser blasting]

504
00:19:06,000 --> 00:19:08,000
[Cryptor] There will never be peace here!

505
00:19:15,000 --> 00:19:17,000
[Reggie] Huzzah!

506
00:19:17,000 --> 00:19:18,000
Ugh!

507
00:19:19,000 --> 00:19:20,000
[Frak] Dad! No!

508
00:19:21,000 --> 00:19:23,000
[groaning]

509
00:19:23,000 --> 00:19:25,000
[roaring in anger]

510
00:19:26,000 --> 00:19:27,000
H'ah! H'yah!

511
00:19:27,000 --> 00:19:29,000
[Cryptor grunting]

512
00:19:29,000 --> 00:19:31,000
[panting]

513
00:19:33,000 --> 00:19:35,000
[Loyalist] General Cryptor,
we've obtained it!

514
00:19:35,000 --> 00:19:37,000
[Cryptor] Our time here is done!

515
00:19:45,000 --> 00:19:46,000
Dad, no!

516
00:19:46,000 --> 00:19:47,000
No…

517
00:19:47,000 --> 00:19:49,000
[gasping] I…

518
00:19:49,000 --> 00:19:51,000
I know you've been trying.

519
00:19:51,000 --> 00:19:53,000
I should have told you
how I felt years ago.

520
00:19:53,000 --> 00:19:54,000
I…

521
00:19:54,000 --> 00:19:55,000
I didn't think you'd care,

522
00:19:56,000 --> 00:19:57,000
and I was wrong,

523
00:19:57,000 --> 00:20:00,000
and now…

524
00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:02,000
and now it's all too late.

525
00:20:02,000 --> 00:20:04,000
We should have had more time!

526
00:20:04,000 --> 00:20:05,000
[Reggie groans]

527
00:20:05,000 --> 00:20:08,000
[groggily] We most assuredly do.

528
00:20:08,000 --> 00:20:09,000
Dad?

529
00:20:09,000 --> 00:20:11,000
How? I…

530
00:20:11,000 --> 00:20:13,000
I saw you get hit with a laser!

531
00:20:13,000 --> 00:20:15,000
Yes, about that…

532
00:20:15,000 --> 00:20:16,000
You were right,

533
00:20:16,000 --> 00:20:20,000
this is better as a chest plate
than a food plate.

534
00:20:20,000 --> 00:20:22,000
[starts chuckling]

535
00:20:22,000 --> 00:20:23,000
[both laughing]

536
00:20:23,000 --> 00:20:24,000
[Reggie winces]

537
00:20:24,000 --> 00:20:27,000
[Frak] So Cryptor and the Loyalists
are working together,

538
00:20:27,000 --> 00:20:29,000
looks like to disrupt Ninjago City,

539
00:20:29,000 --> 00:20:32,000
but I have no idea
what they want the Mind Crystal for.

540
00:20:32,000 --> 00:20:34,000
Whatever the reason,

541
00:20:34,000 --> 00:20:36,000
we have to be on guard,
and track them down.

542
00:20:36,000 --> 00:20:38,000
Frak, I gotta apologize.

543
00:20:38,000 --> 00:20:41,000
We should have believed you
when you said Cryptor was back.

544
00:20:41,000 --> 00:20:42,000
It's okay.

545
00:20:42,000 --> 00:20:45,000
No one is perfect all of the time, right?

546
00:20:45,000 --> 00:20:47,000
But you should have seen
that double-twist flying kick.

547
00:20:47,000 --> 00:20:49,000
It was as awesome as we always imagined!

548
00:20:49,000 --> 00:20:53,000
[Frak and Arin laugh]

549
00:20:53,000 --> 00:20:54,000
H'ah!

550
00:20:56,000 --> 00:20:57,000
H'ah… ah! Oh!

551
00:20:57,000 --> 00:20:58,000
[groaning]

552
00:20:58,000 --> 00:21:02,000
Well, uh, guess I'm not
the Ninja in the family,

553
00:21:02,000 --> 00:21:03,000
or the baker, for that matter.

554
00:21:03,000 --> 00:21:05,000
[Frak laughs] Time for a break?

555
00:21:06,000 --> 00:21:09,000
Ah, I was really hoping you'd say that.

556
00:21:10,000 --> 00:21:12,000
My boy. [chuckling] Jolly good…

557
00:21:12,000 --> 00:21:14,000
-[Frak] If I do say so myself.
-[Reggie] Mm!

558
00:21:31,000 --> 00:21:33,000
Maybe I'll have a little slice.

559
00:21:33,000 --> 00:21:34,000
Really?

560
00:21:35,000 --> 00:21:36,000
Nothing big.

561
00:21:36,000 --> 00:21:38,000
Nothing major.

562
00:21:38,000 --> 00:21:40,000
Just a little bite… for now.

563
00:21:46,000 --> 00:21:48,000
[dramatic music playing]
