Where have you guys been?

So that's where you were?

Quickly, but be careful.

This way, secret passageway

to outside.

You said this was a secret.

This is my ninja compound.

My army trains here.

Don't even think of escaping.

Let me go, you big hairy ape!

Did I say ape? Forget it.

It's not fair to the other apes.

I just knew it was a bad idea

coming to Japan.

What? You voted for it

in the first place.

I just wish I was home.

I want to see Mom and Dad.

I want to be in my own house.

I want to eat a real cheeseburger

with real cheese.

I knew this would come to food.

What is a ninja?

Rocky, stop being like Grandpa.

What is a ninja?

A body. A spirit. A mind.

Tum Tum?

A heart.

Pretty quiet around here without

the team, huh, coach?

They don't even seem to care

what I think anymore.

They listen to their Grandpa

more than me.

They listen to their Grandpa because

their Grandpa listens to them.

I wish they could behave more like....

-Like what? Like you?

-Yeah.

They can't. They're not you.

They're Samuel and Jeffrey

and Michael.

-No, they're not.

-They're not?

They're Rocky and Colt and Tum Tum.

-I just wish they'd come home.

-Yeah.

I will give you one last chance.

I have the dagger and the samurai

sword, but they tell me nothing.

Only one man knows their secret...

...and that is Mori Shintaro.

Are you capable of kidnapping

an old man?

-Uncle.

-A hospitalized old man?

I've a marvellous idea.

This is stupid. I feel ridiculous.

Quiet, you.

The phone was ringing.

I thought it was for me.

Straighten up.

Good day, ladies. Hello.

Hello.

-That was him!

-That was him?

Yo, sir! Excuse me, we have--

-Yes?

-Your therapy.

I had my physical therapy today.

-I don't mean therapy.

-We're discharging you.

Oh, I see.

I never saw you lovely

young ladies before.

Oh, that's because we've

been on holiday.

I'm getting tired of this!

You're on the wrong floor, girls.

Mine!

Bye, girls.

Oh, my leg, my foot, my ankle!

Oh, Vinnie!

Say something! What kind of

leader are you?

-Surgery preparation.

-Yeah, surgery.

Vinnie! Glam!

No surgery, we're fine! We're fine!

Why have you brought me here?

Why have you put me in

these clothes? Why?

Leave us.

Who are you?

A boy from your childhood.

Koga!

-Boys!

-Grandpa!

Are you all right?

We're okay, Grandpa.

What about you?

Are they hurting you?

Grandpa, get us out of here.

Please?

I'll try my best.

Who's in there with you?

Rocky's girlfriend.

She's not my girlfriend.

Well, I mean....

Remember:
four strands of rope.

The cave. Where is the cave?

According to legend...

...the cave is beneath Castle Hikone.

The dagger. The dagger.

The sword and the dagger are the keys.

Now let my grandchildren go!

You have someplace else to go first.

Castle Hikone.

A ninja must use everything around him

to his advantage.

But there's nothing here we can use.

I still have a ninja ball.

I don't even

have my jellybeans anymore.

Forget it. There's no way to escape.

We don't have to.

We just have to

make it look like we did.

Don't you just hate us?

They must be on their way

to Castle Hikone.

-My bag!

-Where's that?

I know where it is.

-What do we do?

-Let's kick their butts!

-Light up their eyes!

-Let's light these fat boys up.

Colt! Get him off me!

Colt! Get him off me!

How are we gonna get there?

On the wings of eagles.

I don't want to fly!

Come on! It's just like

a roller coaster.

I hate roller coasters!

I want to go down!

The entrance is down an old well.

Over there.

Ah, here it is!

Watch where you're going!

I am watching.

-Look out for that tree!

-What tree?

There's the door.

The sword.

The dagger!

The gate to my cave of gold.

Ishikawa, wait here.

Look! The dagger and the sword.

-Maybe you should leave it there.

-No, we might need it.

I don't like the look of this place.

It's sealed shut.

Nice job, spaz.

What is this place?

It's creepy, that's what it is.

Four strands of rope.

These are ancient samurai warriors!

Your riches are nothing

but skulls and bones!

You're chasing fairy tales...

...and I'm not gonna be

buried here for your greed!

There is no cave of gold.

No!

A fairy tale?

It is a cave of gold!

The legend was true!

Yes. It is true.

I-- I beg of you.

The brave warrior,

begging for his life.

Goodbye, Mori Shintaro.

I beat you once, Koga.

That was a long time ago, Grandpa.

Behind you!

Excuse me, Mr. Man.

This way!

Colt!

We're coming!

I will win, because you

are controlled by your greed!

-Don't move.

-Fifty years ago...

...I accidentally scarred your face.

What has happened to your soul,

that I truly regret.

No more talking.

Your fate is to be buried here.

Let's go!

You mean, "Scramble!"

Koga, it's not worth it.

Come with me.

Come on!

Tum Tum, watch out behind you.

Here comes the bag.

-Hurry up!

-Come on!

I'm trying!

I want to find it!

-Please!

-Tum Tum!

I found it!

-Let's go!

-Hurry!

-Go!

-Please hurry!

I found my Ding Dongs.

A true ninja is free from all desire.

It took me a long time

to understand that, Mori Shintaro.

From our days in Koga...

...until this moment.

Slow learner.

You are all very brave ninjas.

All of you.

Grandpa, this is Miyo.

Champion of the Koga Dojo.

You? A young lady?

As this was presented to me

by a ninja master...

...I pass this to you.

You have achieved...

...ninja level at the

highest mastery of mind....

-Body.

-Spirit.

And heart.

Keep this dagger...

...till the day you will present it...

...to a young ninja.

This is better

than winning World Cereals.

I think you mean "Series."

What I said, "Cereals."

It's too bad we missed our game.

I thought it wasn't till Sunday.

-lt is Sunday.

-Not in America. It's Saturday.

-lf we catch a plane today....

-We can make it!

What are you gonna do?

You can't play with only six players.

-The rest of them are off on vacation.

-What are you gonna do?

I guess we have no choice.

I forfeit.

Ladies and gentlemen,

I'm sorry to say...

...due to a shortage of players,

the Dragons have announced--

Play ball!

Oh, this is great timing!

This is great. Let's play ball, huh?

You heard him!

Play ball!

-I missed you so much.

-And the boys.

The big question on our mind is:

Will this be a baseball game

or a wrestling match?

-Out!

-Two down, everybody.

Dragons down by one.

Two strikes, runners at

second and third. Here we go.

Come on, Colt! Bring me home!

Thanks for the

air-conditioning, horsy.

Now batting, number 10,

Gerald Thomas.

It's a bloop single to left.

Runner digging for third base.

That's hitting below the belt.

I hope the Mustangs won't turn

this into a wrestling match.

Replacing number 25

for the Dragons is number 21.

That player doesn't seem

to be on the roster.

Top of the 7th, Mustangs up 4 to 2.

Bases are loaded, they have a chance

to blow it wide open. And the pitch.

Long drive, deep centre field.

The centre fielder going back,

back to the wall.
