[Harumi reading episode title]

Yes?

Morning, sir. Is that your vehicle parked over there?

Vehicle?

That one, Sir.

That is the Destiny's Bounty. It belongs to the Ninja.

Well, that's a problem, sir.

See, the Ninja are fugitives from the law.

Which means that vehicle is evidence

and I gotta impound it.

Impound the Bounty? That's outrageous!

Be that as it may, it's my job.

Kindly step aside, sir.

[tense music]

[sighs] Very well.

Go on, boys.

Oh, uh... We passed your mailman on the way up,

thought we'd save him the trip.

It appears to have been opened.

Well, I wonder how that happened.

I guess you can't trust anybody these days.

You wouldn't happen to know where the Ninja are right now,

would you, sir?

So you can throw them back in prison?

That's where we put criminals, yes, sir.

[officer] This is not working!

Apparently it's also where you put heroes,

who have saved Ninjago many times over.

When they were heroes, they weren't my problem.

When they became criminals, then they became my problem.

[clanging]

Regrettably, Marshall,

I have no idea where the Ninja are.

If you did, would'ja tell me?

I would not.

You got brass, old timer. I'll give you that.

Don't let me find out you're helping them,

or my next visit might not be so friendly.

I might have to take you in.

That would be interesting to see.

Good day, sir.

-[crashing] -[screaming]

[officer] This is not working!

[soft tense music]

Where are the Ninja?

They are currently making their way

along the abandoned "N" line.

They are approaching the coordinates

where Lloyd vanished.

Zane? Can you hear me?

Yes, Master Wu.

[Master Wu] Be careful. I have a bad feeling about this.

Thanks for the encouragement. How about some good news?

[Master Wu] That Federal Marshall,

Hounddog McBrag, was here.

He confiscated the Bounty.

-What? -How is that good news?

[Master Wu] I'm afraid I don't have any good news.

Be careful out there.

[Zane] Affirmative.

[suspenseful music]

[squeaking]

[Jay] No! Way!

-What? -Is that what I think it is?

[Kai] If you think it's a rusted piece of junk

blocking the tunnel, then yes.

[Jay] That's not junk! That's a BRT M- subway car!

[squeals, cheers]

A what?

[Jay] The BRT M- was the workhorse

of the old Ninjago City subway system!

Back when it was all run by steam!

These cars were discontinued over years ago.

This is a classic!

Lemme guess. You used to collect toy trains as a kid?

[scoffs] No!

I built model trains, thank you very much.

And this is a very rare model.

They don't build 'em like this anymore.

This baby was engineered for strength and durability.

Thanks for the trivia.

Now can we get back to trying to find out

what happened to our friend, Lloyd?

You know, who vanished without a trace from this tunnel?

Right. Yes, let's do it!

[eerie music]

[groans]

[intense suspenseful music]

Don't bother. They're made of Vengestone.

Whatever it is you're planning, Harumi,

you don't have to go through with it.

You can change your mind.

Can I? Really?

Yes. It doesn't have to be like this.

Are you sure?

Oh, Lloyd. So trusting. So gullible.

You tricked me once.

And you'd think you'd learn from it.

But you haven't. Clearly.

Because you're trusting and gullible and weak.

Which is why you are bound to lose.

Rumi, I know you think I failed you,

and you're angry with me.

If by "failed" you mean,

"Didn't save my life and let a building fall on me,"

then yes, I admit I was a little ticked about that.

So direct your anger at me! Not everyone else!

I know you don't want innocent people hurt.

[tense music]

You know nothing about me.

But I know you, Lloyd.

Deep down, I know there's a darkness in you.

You fight it, you try to push it away,

but it's there.

I don't know what you're talking about.

You don't have to pretend with me.

You're part Oni, like your father, Garmadon.

That's the strong part.

I am nothing like my father.

[warning alarm beeping]

It's over, Harumi.

They're going to find your little subway station.

It's only a matter of time before they find this place.

Oh, no! What am I gonna do?

Oh, wait. I planned for this.

In fact, I was counting on it.

Which is why I left behind

a little surprise for your friends.

[beeps]

What?

[ominous music]

There's too much at stake, Lloyd.

I left nothing to chance. I'm sorry.

[beeping]

-Huh? -What's wrong?

[Zane] My acoustic sensors are picking up a faint sound.

[Jay] What kind of sound?

A soft clicking sound, like, tapping almost.

Okay, everyone, spread out! Look around!

What are we looking for?

I don't know. A machine.

Something weird, anything out of place.

[clicking]

[tense ominous music]

Any last words? Say them now.

You can't do this!

Turn it off!

Harumi! Please!

I can't, Lloyd.

I mean, I could, technically, but I won't.

I'll do whatever you want!

I promise! Just don't hurt them!

Lloyd, you're not exactly in a position to bargain.

-[gate clanking] -[Lloyd grunts]

[Lloyd] Harumi! Don't do this!

[system] Spiders armed.

[clicking]

[eerie suspenseful music]

[soft rumbling]

Spider bombs! Lots and lots of Spider bombs!

Run! Run! It's a trap!

[grunting]

[yelping]

Bang.

[explosions]

[beeping falling away]

What happened?

I do not know.

Sensors are picking up an expl*si*n of some kind.

They're gone, Lloyd. I'm sorry.

How could you?

But there's no reason for you to be destroyed too.

You can still join us.

[Harumi] There will be a place for you in the dark.

[rumbling]

[coughing]

Told ya! Engineered for strength and durability!

How about a way out?

No idea.

-[creaking] -[grunts]

Lloyd. Focus. What's done is done.

You have a choice now.

You can resist and perish like your friends,

or you can join us and embrace the power of the Crystal King.

Never! I'll resist you with every ounce of my being!

And so will Master Wu and Nya and Pixal!

Not for long they won't.

I told you, I left nothing to chance.

I plan to deal with your friends next.

It's all part of my design.

[grumbles]

No!

-[grunting] -[clanging]

[intense action music]

-[grunts] -[thuds]

[both grunting]

[both grunting]

[grunting continues]

[chuckles] That's the spirit!

Just like your father.

Anger makes you stronger!

Don't say that!

[power surging]

[Harumi grunts]

[both grunting]

No! No!

Welcome back, Son of Garmadon.
