(The episode begins with establishing shots of a city. We see the hustle and bustle of cars on the streets and civilians walking through the city. We see an unknown character mount onto a motorcycle and drive off into the night. We cut to a woman walking on the sidewalk and turning into an alley. She continues walking until stopped by a reaper. The woman turns around but is stopped by two more.)

Reaper: Where do you think you're goin? (The woman looks terrified.) Hand over the purse and we might let you go.

???: So you guys are stealing purses now? I thought you were better than that.

(The speaker comes down from the rooftops and reveals himself to be Cole MacGrath.)

Reaper: Cole MacGrath... surprised you're still alive.

Cole: Same to you guys. Thought for sure your little gang would've died out by now. So, you gonna let this girl go?

Reaper: Actually, I have a better idea. (The reapers all pull out machine guns.) We're gonna kill you, kill her, and then take her purse.

Cole: I don't like that idea. (We cut back to just outside the alleyway and the motorcycle from before pulls up.) Now, here's how this is gonna go...

???: All of you! Put your hands up! (The cyclist from before turns out to be Marcus Reed who is holding a pistol.) This sh*t is over!

Cole: You! Get outta here!

Marcus: Not a chance! (He pulls out a badge.) New York police! This is New York right?

Reaper: Police eh? (Two more reapers come out with guns behind Cole and Marcus.) Alright then, three people will die.

Cole: God d*mn it.

Marcus: Oh sh*t.

Reaper: Which one first?

Cole: Hey, I have an idea. (Cole's hand charges up with electricity.)

Reaper: What?

Cole: Him! (Cole shoots a bolt of electricity out and hits a reaper to the left of the woman. Four reapers are left. The woman screams and starts to run.)

Reaper: Hey! Get her! (The reapers behind our heroes point their guns toward the woman but Marcus shoulders one in the chest and punches the other in the face. The two other reapers run after the woman.)

Marcus: Get back here! (Marcus runs off too. Cole also starts off but a bullet skins his arm. He hides behind a trash can, clutching his arm.)

Cole: D*mn it! (Cole thinks a moment before shooting the trash can with his lightning into the two reapers. They fall over. Cole runs up to one and uses his amp on the reaper's neck which gives him a mighty shock and kills him. Three reapers are left. The final reaper in the alley hits Cole in the head with the end of his gun.)

(We go back to Marcus, on the chase. The reapers are about to shoot when a bullet skins one of them. It's Marcus's bullet.)

Marcus: Everyone get out now! (All the people around start running. The two reapers start shooting at Marcus but he takes cover behind a letterbox. The reapers start running toward him and Marcus gets up and shoots one. Two are left. The other reaper grabs Marcus by his shirt and throws him on the ground.)

(Back with Cole, he gets up and throws a few punches at the reaper. The reaper runs off and finds Marcus's motorcycle. He gets on and drives it away, Cole in hot pursuit. Back with Marcus, the reaper shoots at him on the ground but he rolls out of the way and pulls out his gun.)

Marcus: End of the line *sshole! (He's about to shoot when they both hear a motor. It's the reaper on the motorcycle. He attempts to run over Marcus but he barely jumps out of the way. The cycle starts coming back fast when a bolt of lightning hits the reaper square in the chest. He goes limp and the motorcycle falls over and skids on the ground. Cole walks up.)

Cole: Is that all of them?

Marcus: (Looks around.) No, there was another one. The smack talker.

Cole: D*mn. He must've got away. (To Marcus.) Cole MacGrath by the way.

Marcus: Marcus Reed, NYPD. You're...

Cole: Not from around here? Yeah yeah, you're not the first person to ask me that.

Marcus: Figures. It's not everyday you see someone with lightning powers.

Cole: I better find that last reaper.

Marcus: I'll help you out. Let's go.

(We go to a different city street. It's mostly filled with civilians but there are also two characters, Dimitri Rascalov (Grand Theft Auto) walking on the sidewalk and Vincent Brooks (Catherine) sitting on a bench. The camera pans underneath the streets into the sewers where we find Cap'n Cuttlefish and the Inkling.)

Cuttlefish: Alright new recruit. We've got a new mission on our hands.

Inkling: What is it, Captain?

Cuttlefish: First things first. We should probably get outta these sewers.

Inkling: Noted.

Cuttlefish: We also have to find a way back to Inkopolis. I think I left the stove on.

Inkling: Yes sir!

Cuttlefish: Alright, now head out! (Inkling goes into squid form and jumps through a manhole into the city streets. She starts off with lots of confused passerbys staring at her.)

(We cut again to a blimp above the city, the same one from episode 3. Cortex's ship. We cut inside to see Ganondorf.)

Ganondorf: Have we made it to the city yet, Doctor?

???: We're approaching as we speak. (The camera turns to see Dr. Cortex himself.) Now let's see who we can find.

Ganondorf: I hope your methods work, Cortex.

Cortex: They will, we've kidnapped before and we will again. And this time we don't have to worry about that bandicoot.

Ganondorf: (To himself.) I hate that thing.

Cortex: Oooooh. I think I see some targets!

Ganondorf: Should I send down my men?

Cortex: No no. My men will handle this. (We go back to the city before we hear Cortex's voice.) Attention people of the other dimension! You may have noticed that some strange people have been popping up lately. If you see any, please hand them over to my... associates. (While he's saying these things we cut to Cole and Marcus looking up toward the blimp. After that we cut to Inkling doing the same. Finally, we see Cortex on his jetboard in the sky.) Thank you for your cooperation.

(Down from the blimp comes Tiny Tiger, Dingodile, and N. Gin in his mech. The crowds of people in the streets are terrified. They push Dimitri and Vincent toward the fiends and N. Gin shoots the glowing string from episode 3 onto them and they freeze. Then, N. Gin's mech grabs them and takes them to the blimp.)

Cortex: Excellent work N. Gin. (Notices Inkling.) Oh, you missed one.

N. Gin: Not to worry Dr. Cortex. (The baddies go down to Inkling, who pulls out a Splattershot.)

Dingodile: You gonna try and beat us with that peashooter, mate?

Tiny: You wanna fight, shorty? Alright let's... (Before he can finish, Cole flies in and tackles Tiny to the ground.)

Cole: Hey big guy. You with the flying professor.

Tiny: You'll pay for that! (Tiny runs up and literally punches Cole into a wall.) Weak.

(The others look at what's happening before a bullet hits Dingodile. It surprisingly doesn't do much.)

Marcus: Hands up! New York police!

Dingodile: (Readying his flamethrower.) That was a mistake, mate. (He shoots fire at Marcus who dodges but may be slightly burned.) Get back here!

(With N. Gin distracted, Inkling shoots ink onto his mech.)

N. Gin: Ugh, insufferable little girl. (N. Gin fires missiles at Inkling and the blast flings her away. From out of the smoke comes a splat bomb which hits the left missile launcher on the mech and the ink deactivates it.) Huh?

Inkling: (Coming out of the smoke.) That all you got?

(Cole is seen on the ground and Tiny walks up to him.)

Cole: Ugh. You actually got me. (He holds up his electrified hands.) Sadly that's the only hit you're gonna get on me. (Cole shoots a couple bolts at Tiny, but since he's so big it doesn't do much.)

Tiny: Heh. That tickles. (He grabs a light post.) Try this on for size. (Tiny brings down the post but Cole jumps out of the way. Tiny uses the post like a golf club and hits Cole away.)

(We go to Dingodile looking around for Marcus.)

Dingodile: Come out come out wherever you are.

(Marcus runs out from an alleyway and jumps onto Dingodile's back. There's a struggle until Dingodile throws Marcus onto the ground.)

(Now back to Inkling who has shot an ink path on the ground and a line on N. Gin's mech. N. Gin shoots more missiles and they seem to hit dead on. When the smoke clears, Inkling isn't there.)

N. Gin: Huh? (Inkling forms into her kid form onto the mech's arm with the working missile launcher. She uses her octobrush on the launcher and destroys it.) No! No! My missiles!

(We go back to Marcus who has been cornered by Dingodile.)

Dingodile: Goodbye, mate. (He's about to use the flamethrower until Marcus runs up, steps on the flamethrower, jumps off of it over Dingodile, and shoots the pack on Dingodile's back.) Oh no. (The pack explodes.)

Marcus: Yes!

(Back with Inkling, N. Gin's mech is malfunctioning.)

N. Gin: No! My machine! (Inkling pulls out a killer wail and uses it on the mech. It covers the mech in ink and N. Gin lands on the ground, knocked out.)

Inkling: Woomy!

(Finally, we go to Cole and Tiny. Tiny starts running up to Cole but the sky goes dark and thunder is heard. As soon as he gets to Cole, a giant bolt of lightning comes down from the sky and launches Tiny away. Tiny hits Cortex and the two of them land on the ground. Our heroes surround Cortex.)

Marcus: You have the right to remain silent.

Cole: What are you? Some kinda mad scientist?

Cortex: I am Dr. Neo Cortex. Greatest scientist in the world.

Inkling: Yeah right.

Cortex: Is that doubt? Would a terrible scientist have this? (He pulls out a small robotic orb that floats above him. Suddenly, it teleports him away.)

Marcus: What the?!

Cole: He's... gone? (Suddenly, the blimp starts moving again.) He's back in there!

Inkling: I'm not letting him get away!

Marcus: Come on! (Our heroes start off after the blimp.)

(We cut to the rooftops where we see the reapers, including the one that got away. A shoe comes into frame.)

???: I heard you guys are pretty good at theft.

Reaper: Yeah, what of it?

???: I have a job for you.
