(A man waits for the traffic light to turn green on an empty intersection.)

Man: Oh, come on. (He drives anyway but reverses when he sees the ninja and Crabby. They go to the police station.)

Officer #1: (Gasps.) Uh...

Kai: Is the Police Commissioner here? (The officer nods.)

Zane: Don't forget: the best way to defeat your enemy is to make him your friend.

Jay: Aren't you, Crabby.

Wu: Crabby. (Lilly was holding him.)

(The ninja go in the station.)

Officer #1: Hey, what am I supposed to do with him?

Nya: Take him to the zoo.

Officer: We don't have a zoo!

Kai: We need the Commissioner.

Officer #2: He's not taking any visitors.

Cole: But it's important.

Officer #2: All his work is important.

Jay: Don't make me zap you. (He zaps him and the ninja barge in.)

Nya: Commissioner!

P.I.X.A.L.: So good to see you.

Kai: There's no time to lose.

Cole: Sorry to barge in but it's really quite urgent.

Zane: We have to vacate the city.

Jay: We need weapons. Lots and lots and lots of weapons.

Wu: Crabby!

Commissioner: Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. One at a time. Just shoot it to me straight. What's gonna do me in?

P.I.X.A.L.: Pardon? Do you in?

Commissioner: Every time something bad happens to the city, first thing they do is can the police commissioner. So what is it this time? Subterranean mutant insects? Indomitable flesh-eating zombies? A pirate genie?

Lilly & Cole: Pirate genie?

Commissioner: Yes, why not? Anything can happen in this crazy town.

(Jay and Nya share a smile.)

Jay: Argh, don't be ridiculous. It's the Sons of Garmadon.

Cole: They have Lloyd.

Zane: And the three Oni Masks.

Lilly: The Quiet One—

Nya: —who is Harumi.

Kai: —is gonna resurrect the evil spirit of Lord Garmadon and then—

Commissioner: Just stop! The princess is behind all this?

Cole: Which is why we need you behind us.

Nya: Along with everyone on your force.

Commissioner: I'm not ready to lose my city just yet. (He dials the phone.) Person on the other end of this phone, get me the mayor. Yes, I'll hold.

(The Sons of Garmadon take Lloyd to the Temple of Resurrection.)

Harumi: The spider's in the house. Sleep sleep. The spider bit the mouse.

Lloyd: So this is your true face, without the mask. No wonder you covered it.

Harumi: Bite your tongue, Green Ninja. The fight is all but over.

Lloyd: Where are you taking me?

Harumi: Trapped in the Palace of Secrets all my life, it gave me time to make a few...alterations, you could say. Yes, I destroyed the palace, but I was careful not to damage the Temple of Resurrection.
