[Zane] The Benefit of Grief
[all panting]
-[Dareth exhales heavily] -[Kai groans]
Huh. So, you're not thirsty at all?
No. Being a Nindroid is not without benefits.
[panting] I wish I were a Nindroid.
[Kai] Hey! Hey! Hey, wait! Wait, wait, wait!
Stop! Stop! Please! Help!
Help!
[tires screeching]
Hiya, guys! What'cha doin' way out here?
We were, uh, camping, and we got a little lost.
Uh, how come you're dressed up like the Ninja?
We were costume camping. It's a thing.
[chuckles] Lots of people are doing it.
Anyway, we could really use a ride.
-Sure! Hop in! -[Kai] Thanks!

So you don't recognize these guys?
No, why? Should I?
He's just joking. [nervous chuckle]
Uh, so, are you moving or something, Sally?
Yup! All the way to Ninjago City!
I'm gonna be a singer.
I'm gonna be like on the radio,
and TV and in concerts and stuff.
Is this one of your songs?
It sure is!
[turns up volume]
What do you think?
♪ Dig deep inside And you will feel ♪
♪ An inner strength An inner steel ♪
Wow, you wrote that?
-That's great! -Thanks.
But humans are not made of steel.
Of course not, silly! It's a song.
To make people feel better.
Songs can help people come together and find their way.
That's what I want my music to do.
-That is a worthy cause. -Yeah, it's great, Sally.
You guys are sweet.
And who is that?
Oh, no! [crying]
Guys! Lookout!
Sally? What are you doing?
She has released the wheel.
I know, Zane! Do something! Grab it, grab it!
[sobbing]
What was that about?
I do not know.
Sally? What is wrong?
I-- I ran away from home. [crying]
Why?
Because I wanted to go to Ninjago City!
But my dad said I'm not old enough,
so I went anyway,
even though I knew it would hurt his feelings!
Because I'm selfish, selfish, selfish! [echoing]
I-- I have all these songs inside of me,
and sometimes I feel like I'm just gonna pop!
So I kinda, sort of, borrowed his van without asking.
You mean stole it?
No, I borrowed it without asking.
Anyway, while I was borrowing it,
I sorta kinda ran over a mailbox and accidentally
changed the shape of the front of the van.
You mean broke it?
Changed its shape! Are you even listening?
[helicopter whirring]
[officer] This is the police! You are under arrest!
Oh, no! My dad called the cops on me?
-How could he do that? -What?
They're not here for you, Sally, they're here for--
[van door closes]
Get on board, get on board!
[Sally] Come on, come on, come on, come on!
[engine whooshing]
Sally, this course of action is unwise.
Yeah, will you listen?
They're not even after you, they're after us!
Show her, Zane!
[Sally] I can't believe it! [crying]
My own father called the cops on me?
He must be so mad!
[sobbing]
I can never go home now!
Oh, why? Why did I do it?
Because you're selfish, Sally! Selfish, selfish, selfish!
-[sobbing] -[tires screeching]
Uh, Sally! Sally!
Stop, stop the van! Stop the van!
-[screams] -[tires screeching]
[sighs in relief]
Listen up, Ninja.
Y'all rode the bull to the end of the--
Hold on!
Dangit. Didn't even get to finish my metaphor.
Let's try this again. You're trapped, Ninja!
No way out. Do the smart thing and surrender.
[gasps] Ninja?
They're not after me! They're after you!
That's what I've been trying to say!
Why? What did you do?
We borrowed something without asking.
[gasps dramatically] You stole?
[Kai] Sally, hit the gas.
[all screaming]
[all screaming]
Those guys are nuts.
Yep. But so am I.
Justice!
Why didn't he just take the helicopter?
Too obvious.
-[sirens blaring] -Huh?
You gotta be kidding me?
-Who is this guy? -[all yelp]
And how is he doing that?
[all yelp]
That is, like, so uncalled for! This is my father's van!
Rapids! Rapids! Rapids!
[Kai] Hold on!
[all shouting]
[Hounddog] Y'all are under arrest!
Stop the van and get out with your hands up!
Is he joking?
He doesn't look like a jokey kinda guy!
The old blast-the-windshield with-the-ice-trick.
Well, this ain't my first rodeo, partner.
Nicely played, Ninja.
But I once tracked a tumbleweed through a sandstorm.
I'll find you. Sooner or later.
[van squeaking and puffing]
[panting]
I can't believe we just did that.
We got chased by a helicopter and drove off a cliff,
and fell in a river, and went down some rapids!
That was my first big adventure!
Were you as excited as I was?
I shut off my emotion meter to avoid unpleasant emotions.
-Unpleasant? -[cracking]
[cracking]
[gasps] Oh, no!
This is all my fault! [sobbing]
Here we go again.
I wish I could turn off my emotion meter,
then I wouldn't miss my parents anymore.
And, and I could just run away and...
and everything would be fine.
[sobbing]
My creator, Doctor Julien, once attempted
to protect me from feelings of grief
by erasing my memory banks.
But now, I am beginning to see that emotions,
even unpleasant ones, do in fact serve a purpose.
Like what?
They are telling you to go home.
But-- but...
What if my parents don't forgive me?
They will, Sally.
How do you know?
It does not take a Nindroid
to see that your parents love you very much.
[soft sweet music]
You think so?
I know so.

Well, I guess this is it.
It was good meeting you, Sally.
You too.
Uh, and keep up the singing.
One day, when you're older,
you're gonna take Ninjago City by storm.
I just know it.
Thank you.

Sally?

Sally, we were so worried.
Oh, honey!
Oh, Sally. Thank goodness you're home!
[chuckles]
I missed you!
Zane. Did you turn your emotions back on?
-I did indeed. -And why is that?
I realized there is a benefit to them.
Even grief.
There's hope for you yet, Zane.
