After their bikes fell off the cliff, Zane tries to get Mr. E to talk.
Zane: Are you the Quiet One?
Mr. E cracks his neck.
Zane: Are you the Quiet One?!
They attack each other.
Zane: Who are you? Who...is...in...charge!? Who? You don't have to do this.
Mr. E kicks him off the cliff.
Zane: Who...
He shuts down.
Mr. E opens Zane's chest and puts something inside him.
Mr. E: tes neeb sah part ehT. (The Trap has been set.)
The ninja find Zane.
Lloyd: Zane! Zane, can you hear me?
Nya: What did they do to him?
Toge: Say something, Zane. Can you hear us? Zane?
Lloyd: P.I.X.A.L., lower the gurney. Zane's in bad shape. Hang on, buddy. Hang on.
They put Zane on the gurney and hook him to the Bounty.
Nya: Okay. Winch him up, Pix.
Toge: How bad is it?
P.I.X.A.L.: He has extensive damage to all systems. His neural net and cognitive cores suffered severe failures.
Nya: Can you save him?
P.I.X.A.L.: I've diverted power to critical life functions, but Zane will have to do most of the work. He must reconfigure his system and reboot himself.
Harumi: Isn't there anything we can do?
Lloyd: We have to keep moving or the Sons of Garmadon will find us. They'll do anything to get their hands on the child.
Kai: I just don't get how a baby can be a key.
Cole: I don't either, but that's what they said. They called him the key to the third mask.
Lloyd: If Cole's right, we need to disappear. Get as far away from Ninjago City as we can.
Jay: Hmm. Doesn't seem right. Abandoning Ninjago City.
Toge: We're not abandoning. There are others who will protect her.
Kai: Like who?
Nya: There's always Samurai X. Whoever that is.
Lloyd: Whoever it is, they're going to have to cover for us until we get a handle on things. P.I.X.A.L., set a new course. Anywhere but here.
The baby cries.
Toge: Maybe he's thirsty. Give him some milk.
Cole: I tried. He doesn't like milk.
Jay: What else do babies drink?
Kai: Don't ask me. Ask him.
Cole: He's a baby! He hasn't learned how to talk yet.
Jay: Oh! Maybe he needs a diaper change.
Cole: Oh my gosh. Do we even have diapers?
Lloyd: Why would we have diapers? We're ninja!
Jay: Ooh! Maybe we can use one of our hoods instead.
Kai: Not my hood.
Toge: We'll draw straws. Loser gives up their hood.
The baby stops crying.
