(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) Are you the Quiet One?! (They attack each other.) Who are you? Who...is...in...charge!? Who? You don't have to do this. (Mr. E kicks him off the cliff) Who... (He shuts down.)

Mr. E: (He opens Zane's chest and puts something inside him.) tes neeb sah part ehT.

(The ninja find Zane.)

Lloyd: Zane! Zane, can you hear me?

Nya: What did they do to him?

Jay: 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.

(inside)

Lloyd: 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.

Lloyd: 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. Morro is covering his ear as he was was still busy the get to know who the Quiet One was, he had one 5 more suspects)

Lloyd: 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.

Morro: Can y'all either leave or get the baby to shut up, I'm trying to focus!!

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.

Lloyd: We'll draw straws. Loser gives up their hood.
