Jay? Where is he?

Well, he has to be here somewhere.

Unless he got too scared and left?

By himself? Without telling us?
11
00:00:33,333 --> 00:00:35,463
There is always a reasonable explanation.

Would you like to enter Prime Empire?

for an arcade cabinet
having a secret chamber?
17
00:00:58,833 --> 00:01:01,463
A security camera!
That'll have the answers.

00:01:02,958 --> 00:01:04,958
Zane can you pull up the video
on this computer?
19
00:01:09,875 --> 00:01:11,665
You can fast-forward that part.
20
00:01:11,750 --> 00:01:14,080
In fact, we should erase this
after we're done.

Where did Jay go?

He... he never came out.
27
00:01:39,958 --> 00:01:42,748
I'm starting to think
this is no ordinary game.

[Nya] That thing took Jay!
29
00:01:44,541 --> 00:01:47,541
Maybe to find Jay
we have to play the game?
30
00:01:47,625 --> 00:01:49,785
That would be exceedingly dangerous.
31
00:01:49,875 --> 00:01:52,125
Whatever happened to Jay
would likely happen to us.

00:01:52,208 --> 00:01:53,498

So, you do know him?

I've searched my database

Ha! He can control your pathetic database.

Soon he'll control everything!

Yeah, that's the one.

00:02:33,750 --> 00:02:35,540
I'm getting reports from all over the city
50

are changing into it.

-Changing? How?

I don't know. They just changed.
Overnight.
53

The game was one thing,
and now it's Prime Empire.

Remember the weird pulse of energy

00:02:50,166 --> 00:02:51,786
when Jay started up the game?
56
00:02:51,875 --> 00:02:53,625
I wonder if that had something
to do with it?

You can't stop it.

00:02:56,583 --> 00:03:00,293
It's too late. It's starting.
Just like he said!

Hey, ow, watch it!
70
00:03:31,083 --> 00:03:33,253
Prime Empire was created by a programmer
71
00:03:33,333 --> 00:03:34,423
named Milton Dyer.
72
00:03:34,500 --> 00:03:36,330
He is a legend in the gaming industry
73
00:03:36,416 --> 00:03:38,996
and considered one
of the best coders of all time.
74
00:03:39,083 --> 00:03:41,423
If anyone can tell us about Prime Empire,
75
00:03:41,500 --> 00:03:42,960
it will be Milton Dyer.
76
00:03:56,791 --> 00:03:58,751
You'd think there'd be an easier way
77
00:03:58,833 --> 00:04:01,673
to contact Milton Dyer
than flying to an island
78
00:04:01,750 --> 00:04:03,540
and trying to figure out
which house is his.
79
00:04:04,208 --> 00:04:05,668
Dyer is a recluse.
80
00:04:05,750 --> 00:04:07,830
No one has seen him for almost 30 years.
81
00:04:07,916 --> 00:04:11,206
However, it is a private island
and there is only one house.
82
00:04:11,291 --> 00:04:14,001
-His.
-He owns the whole island?
83
00:04:14,083 --> 00:04:16,423
That explains why it's called
"Dyer Island."

This place looks a little... rundown.

These coordinates are correct.

00:04:38,333 --> 00:04:39,633
It is a hedgemaze.

By the look of it,

00:04:43,291 --> 00:04:45,631
Dyer's not the only one
who's been missing for 30 years.
93
00:04:45,708 --> 00:04:47,788

Oh, Mr. Dyer can explain that
better than I can.

-You just said he isn't here.
-He isn't.

This is a recording of him

00:07:54,333 --> 00:07:56,383
on the day he finished making the game.

But Prime Empire was his favorite.
154
00:08:08,750 --> 00:08:10,040
It was so advanced,
155
00:08:10,125 --> 00:08:13,075
he said it would seem like magic.
156
00:08:14,250 --> 00:08:17,790
Prime Empire is not just a videogame.
157
00:08:17,875 --> 00:08:20,415
It's a ticket to another world!
158
00:08:20,500 --> 00:08:24,880
A world so immersive,
you'll think it's real.
159
00:08:24,958 --> 00:08:28,998
Prime Empire isn't going to just change
how games are played,
160
00:08:29,083 --> 00:08:32,083
it's going to change the world as we--

Wait, what was that flash of light?
162
00:08:41,833 --> 00:08:43,503
The same thing happened to Jay
163
00:08:43,583 --> 00:08:44,963
after he turned on the video game!
164
00:08:45,041 --> 00:08:48,581
Something went wrong with the game.
165
00:08:48,666 --> 00:08:52,076
I asked Dyer about it once
but he wouldn't say.
166
00:08:52,166 --> 00:08:54,036
Something went wrong alright.
167
00:08:54,125 --> 00:08:55,665
Prime Empire games appeared
168
00:08:55,750 --> 00:08:58,040
in arcades all over Ninjago last night.
169
00:08:58,125 --> 00:08:59,535
Any idea why?

00:08:59,625 --> 00:09:01,825
I'd say that's impossible.
[scoffs]
171
00:09:01,916 --> 00:09:05,576
Except, Dyer always used to say--
172
00:09:06,500 --> 00:09:10,540
Good technology should make
the impossible seem possible.
173
00:09:10,625 --> 00:09:14,535
It should seem just like... like magic.
174
00:09:16,166 --> 00:09:19,076
Anyway, Prime Empire was never released.
175
00:09:19,166 --> 00:09:21,376
Too many problems. It broke Dyer's heart.
176
00:09:21,458 --> 00:09:22,668
What kind of problems?

00:09:22,750 --> 00:09:25,630
Something to do
with some unauthorized changes
178
00:09:25,708 --> 00:09:27,128
Mr. Dyer made to the game.
179
00:09:27,208 --> 00:09:29,578
His boss's found out and weren't happy.
180
00:09:29,666 --> 00:09:31,326
"Creative Differences" I guess.
181
00:09:31,416 --> 00:09:32,746
So, what happened?
182
00:09:32,833 --> 00:09:35,463
Well, the company fired Dyer.
183
00:09:35,541 --> 00:09:39,501
He was pretty angry about it.
Kept saying they had no vision.
184
00:09:39,583 --> 00:09:41,583
But he said he'd have the last laugh.
185
00:09:41,666 --> 00:09:46,286
[scoffs]
He said they'd be sorry one day.
186
00:09:46,375 --> 00:09:47,915
He said that?
187
00:09:48,000 --> 00:09:50,960
A missing programmer set on revenge?
188
00:09:51,041 --> 00:09:52,581
And now a mysterious villain
189
00:09:52,666 --> 00:09:54,826
named Unagami reintroducing the game?
190
00:09:54,916 --> 00:09:56,996
Are you guys thinking what I'm thinking?
191
00:09:58,708 --> 00:10:00,538
Milton Dyer is...
192
00:10:01,458 --> 00:10:04,748
[all] Milton Dyer is Unagami!
193
00:10:04,833 --> 00:10:07,833
And we've got to stop him
before anyone else gets taken!
194
00:10:07,916 --> 00:10:11,286

195
00:10:12,333 --> 00:10:15,213
Ha! I made it further than any of you!
196
00:10:15,291 --> 00:10:18,131
Forget team games, I'm doing my own thing!
197
00:10:18,708 --> 00:10:20,328
Ah, come on, I'm bored.
198
00:10:20,416 --> 00:10:22,746
He's gonna be here forever.
199
00:10:24,166 --> 00:10:27,746
[automated voice]
Would you like to enter Prime Empire?
