Senator, we're making
our final approach into Coruscant.

Very good, Lieutenant.

We made it.

I guess I was wrong.

There was no danger at all.

Cordé.

Milady, I'm so sorry.

I've failed you, Senator.

No.

Milady, you're still in danger here.

- I shouldn't have come back.
- This vote is very important.

You did your duty. Cordé did hers.
Now, come.

Senator Amidala, please.

Must I remind the Senator from Malastare that negotiations are continuing with the Separatists.

Peace is our objective here, not war.

My noble colleagues,
less than an hour ago...

an assassination attempt was made
against my life.

One of my bodyguards,
and six others,

were ruthlessly and senselessly murdered.

I was the target,
but more importantly,

the security measure before you
was the target.

I have led the opposition
to building this army,

but someone will stop but
nothing to assure its passage.

Wake up, Senators,
you must wake up!

If you offer the Separatists violence,
they can only show violence in return.

Many will lose there lives,
all will lose their freedom.

I pray you do not let fear push you into disaster.

Vote down the security measure,

which is nothing less
than a declaration of war.

Does anyone here want that?

I cannot believe they do.

Order! Order!

Due to the lateness of the hour,
and the seriousness of this motion,

we will take up these matters tomorrow.

Until then, the Senate is adjourned.

I don't know how much longer
I can hold off the vote, my friends.

More and more star systems
are joining the separatists.

- If they do break away...
- I will not let this Republic

that has stood for a thousand years
be split in two.

My negotiations will not fail.

If they do,

you must realize there aren't enough
Jedi to protect the Republic.

We're keepers of the peace,
not soldiers.

Master Yoda.

Do you think it will really come to war?

The dark side clouds everything.

Impossible to see the future is.

Good.

Send them in.

We will discuss this matter later.

Senator Amidala,
your tragedy on the landing platform,

terrible.

Seeing you alive
brings warm feelings to my heart.

Do you have any idea
who was behind this attack?

Our intelligence points to disgruntled
spice miners on the moons of Naboo.

I think that Count Dooku was behind it.

He is a political idealist,
not a murderer.

You know, milady,
Count Dooku was once a Jedi.

He couldn't assassinate anyone.
It's not in his character.

But for certain, Senator,

in grave danger you are.

Master Jedi, may I suggest

the senator be placed
under the protection of your graces.

Do you really think that's a wise
decision under these stressful times?

Chancellor, if I may comment,
I do not believe...

The situation is that serious?

No, but I do, Senator.

I realize all too well
that additional security

might be disruptive for you,

but perhaps someone
you're familiar with.

An old friend, like Master Kenobi.

That's possible.

He's just returned
from a border dispute on Ansion.

Do it for me, milady. Please?

The thought of losing you...

Is unbearable.

I will have Obi-Wan
report to you immediately, milady.

Thank you, Master Windu.

You seem a little on edge.

Not at all.

I haven't felt you this tense since
we fell into that nest of gundarks.

You fell into
that nightmare, Master,

and I rescued you, remember?

Oh.

Yes.

You're sweating. Relax.
Take a deep breath.

I haven't seen her in ten years, Master.

Obi? Obi!

Mesa so smilen to seein yousa!

Good to see you again, Jar Jar.

Senator Padmé.

Mesa palos here!
Lookie, lookie, Senator.

Desa Jedi arriven.

It's a great pleasure
to see you again, milady.

It has been far too long, Master Kenobi.

Ani? My goodness, you've grown.

So have you.
Grown more beautiful, I mean.

Well, for a senator, I mean.

Ani, you'll always be
that little boy I knew on Tatooine.

Our presence here will be invisible,
milady, I can assure you.

I'm Captain Typho
of Her Majesty's security service.

Queen Jamillia has been informed
of your assignment.

I am grateful you are here,
Master Kenobi.

The situation is more dangerous
than the senator will admit.

I don't need more security.
I need answers.

I want to know who's trying to kill me.

We are here to protect you, Senator,
not to start an investigation.

We will find out
who's trying to kill you, Padmé.

I promise you.

We will not exceed our mandate,
my young Padawan learner.

I meant that in the interest
of protecting her, Master, of course.

We will not go through
this exercise again, Anakin,

- and you will pay attention to my lead.
- Why?

What?

Why else do you think
we were assigned to her

if not to find the killer?

Protection is a job for local security,
not Jedi.

It's overkill, Master.
Investigation is implied in our mandate.

We will do exactly
as the council has instructed.

And you will learn your place,
young one.

Perhaps with merely your presence

the mystery surrounding
this threat will be revealed.

Now, if you'll excuse me,

I will retire.

I know I'll feel better having you here.

I'll have an officer
stationed on every floor,

and I'll be in the
control center downstairs.

Mesa busten wit happiness
seein yousa again, Ani.

She hardly even recognized me,
Jar Jar.

I've thought about her
every day since we parted, and...

She's forgotten me completely.

Shesa happy. Happier den mesa
seein her in a longo time.

You're focusing on the negative,
Anakin. Be mindful of your thoughts.

She was pleased to see us.

Now, let's check the security.

I hit the ship, but they used a decoy.

We'll have to try
something more subtle this time, Zam.

My client is getting impatient.
Take these.

Be careful. They're very poisonous.

Zam, there can be
no mistakes this time.

Captain Typho has more
than enough men downstairs.

No assassin would try that way.

- Any activity up here?
- Quiet as a tomb.

I don't like just waiting here

for something to happen to her.

What's going on?

She covered the cameras.

I don't think she liked me watching her.

What is she thinking?

She programmed R2
to warn us if there is an intruder.

There are many other ways
to kill a senator.

I know, but we also want to
catch this assassin, don't we, Master?

You're using her as bait.

It was her idea.

Don't worry. No harm will come to her.

I can sense everything
going on in that room.

Trust me.

It's too risky.

Besides, your senses aren't
that attuned, my young apprentice.

And yours are?

Possibly.

You look tired.

I don't sleep well anymore.

Because of your mother?

I don't know why
I keep dreaming about her.

Dreams pass in time.

I'd much rather dream about Padmé.

Just being around her again
is intoxicating.

Be mindful of your thoughts, Anakin.
They betray you.

You've made a commitment
to the Jedi order,

a commitment not easily broken.

And don't forget, she's a politician,
and they're not to be trusted.

She's not like the others
in the Senate, Master.

It is my experience
that senators

focus only on pleasing those
who fund their campaigns,

and they're in no means scared of
forgetting the niceties of democracy

- in order to get those funds.
- Not another lecture.

At least not on the
economics of politics.

And besides, you're generalizing.

The chancellor
doesn't appear to be corrupt.

Palpatine is a politician.

I have observed that he is very clever

in following the passions
and the prejudices of the senators.

I think he's a good man. My...

I sense it too.

Stay here!

Are you all right, milady?

What the...

- What took you so long?
- You know, Master.

I couldn't find a speeder
that I really liked.

There he is.

With the open cockpit
and the right speed capabilities.

If you spent as much time practicing
your saber techniques

as you do your wit, you would rival
Master Yoda as a swordsman.

I thought I already did.

Only in your mind,
my very young apprentice.

Pull up, Anakin. Pull up!

You know I don't like it
when you do that.

Sorry, Master.

I forgot you don't like flying.

I don't mind flying,
but what you're doing is suicide.

Anakin!
How many times have I told you...

Stay away from power couplings!

That was good!

Where are you going?
He went that way.

Master, if we keep this chase
going any longer,

that creep is gonna end up deep-fried,

and, personally,
I'd very much like to find out

who he is and who he's working for.

This is a shortcut. I think.

Well, you've lost him.

I'm deeply sorry, Master.

That was some shortcut, Anakin.

He went completely the other way.

- Once again you've proved...
- If you'll excuse me.

I hate it when he does that.

Anakin!

- She went into the club, Master.
- Patience.

Use the Force. Think.

- Sorry, Master.
- He went in there to hide, not to run.

- Yes, Master.
- Next time, try not to lose it.

- Yes, Master.
- This weapon is your life.

I try, Master.

Why do I get the feeling
you're going to be the death of me?

Don't say that, Master.

You're the closest thing
I have to a father.

- Then why don't you listen to me?
- I am trying.

- Can you see him?
- I think he is a she,

and I think she is a changeling.

In that case, be extra careful.

- Go and find her.
- Where are you going, Master?

For a drink.

Thank you.

You wanna buy some death sticks?

You don't want to sell me death sticks.

I don't want to sell you death sticks.

You want to go home
and rethink your life.

I want to go home and rethink my life.

Easy. Jedi business.
Go back to your drinks.

Do you know who it was
you were trying to kill?

It was a senator from Naboo.

And who hired you?

It was just a job.

Who hired you? Tell us.

Tell us now!

It was a bounty hunter called...

Toxic dart.

Track down
this bounty hunter you must, Obi-Wan.

Most importantly,
find out who he's working for.

What about Senator Amidala?

She will still need protecting.

Handle that your Padawan will.

Anakin, escort the senator
back to her home planet of Naboo.

She'll be safer there.
And don't use registered transport.

Travel as refugees.

As the leader of the opposition,
it will be very difficult

to get Senator Amidala
to leave the capital.

Until caught this killer is,

our judgment she must respect.

Anakin, go to the Senate

and ask Chancellor Palpatine
to speak with her about this matter.

I will talk with her. Senator Amidala
will not refuse an executive order.

I know her well enough
to assure you of that.

Thank you, Your Excellency.

And so, they've finally
given you an assignment.

Your patience has paid off.

Your guidance more than my patience.

You don't need guidance, Anakin.

In time, you will learn
to trust your feelings.

Then you will be invincible.

I have said it many times.

You are the most
gifted Jedi I have ever met.

Thank you, Your Excellency.

I see you becoming
the greatest of all the Jedi, Anakin,

even more powerful than Master Yoda.

I am concerned for my Padawan.

He is not ready to be
given this assignment on his own yet.

The council is confident
in its decision, Obi-Wan.

The boy has exceptional skills.

But he still has much to learn, Master.

His abilities have made him,
well, arrogant.

Yes, yes.

A flaw more and more common
among Jedi.

Hmm.

Too sure of themselves they are.

Even the older, more experienced ones.

Remember, Obi-Wan,
if the prophecy is true,

your apprentice is the only one

who can bring the Force
back into balance.

I'm taking an extended leave
of absence.

It will be your responsibility
to take my place in the Senate.

- Representative Binks...
- Hmm?

I know I can count on you.

Mesa honored to be taking on
dissa heavy burden.

Mesa accept this
with muy, muy humility and...

Jar Jar, I don't wish to hold you up.

I'm sure you have a great deal to do.

Of course. Milady.

I do not like this idea of hiding.

Don't worry.

Now that the council
has ordered an investigation,

it won't take Master Obi-Wan long
to find this bounty hunter.

I haven't worked for a year
to defeat the Military Creation Act

to not be here when its fate is decided.

Sometimes we must let go of our pride
and do what is requested of us.

Anakin, you've grown up.

Master Obi-Wan manages not to see it.

Don't get me wrong.
Obi-Wan is a great mentor.

As wise as Master Yoda
and as powerful as Master Windu.

I am truly thankful
to be his apprentice.

In some ways, a lot of ways,

I'm really ahead of him.

I'm ready for the trials,

but he feels that I'm too unpredictable.

He won't let me move on.

- That must be frustrating.
- It's worse.

He's overly critical. He never listens.

He doesn't understand.

It's not fair!

All mentors have a way of seeing
more of our faults than we would like.

It's the only way we grow.

I know.

Anakin.

Don't try to grow up too fast.

But I am grown up.

You said it yourself.

Please don't look at me like that.

- Why not?
- It makes me feel uncomfortable.

Sorry, milady.

- Be safe, milady.
- Thank you, Captain.

Take good care of Dormé.
The threat's on you two now.

He'll be safe with me.

- You'll be fine.
- It's not me, milady.

I worry about you. What if they realize
you've left the capital?

Well, then my Jedi protector
will have to prove how good he is.

Anakin.

Don't do anything without first
consulting either myself or the council.

Yes, Master.

I'll get to the bottom
of this plot quickly, milady.

You'll be back here in no time.

I'll be most grateful
for your speed, Master Jedi.

- It's time to go.
- I know.

Anakin, may the Force be with you.

May the Force be with you, Master.

Suddenly I'm afraid.

This is my first assignment on my own.
I am too.

Don't worry. We have R2 with us.

I do hope he doesn't try
anything foolish.

I'd be more concerned
about her doing something than him.

Place the subject for analysis
on the sensor tray, please.

It's a toxic dart.

I need to know where it
came from and who made it.

One moment, please.

Markings cannot be identified.

As you can see on your screen...

subject weapon does not exist
in any known culture.

Probably self-made by a warrior...

not associated with
any known society.

Stand away from
the sensor tray, please.

Thank you for your assistance.

I know who can identify this.

Someone to see ya, honey!

Jedi, by the looks of him.

- Obi-Wan!
- Hello, Dex.

Take a seat. I'll be right with ya.

- You wanna cup o' jawa juice?
- Oh, yes. Thank you.

Hey, old buddy!

So, my friend, what can I do for ya?

You can tell me what this is.

Well, whattaya know!

I ain't seen one of these
since I was prospectin'

on Subterrel, beyond the Outer Rim.

Can you tell me where it came from?
Thank you.

This baby belongs to them cloners.

What you got here
is a Kamino saberdart.

I wonder why it didn't show up
in the analysis archives.

It's these funny little cuts on the side
that give it away.

Those analysis droids
only focus on symbols.

I should think that you Jedi
would have more respect

for the difference
between knowledge and...

Wisdom.

Well, if droids could think, there'd be
none of us here, would there?

Kamino. I'm not familiar with it.
Is it in the Republic?

No, no. It's beyond the Outer Rim.

I'd say about 12 parsecs
outside the Rishi Maze.

Should be easy to find,
even for those droids in your archives.

These Kaminoans keep to themselves.

They're cloners. Damn good ones too.

- Cloners. Are they friendly?
- Depends.

Depends on what, Dex?

On how good your manners are...

And how big your pocketbook is.

Did you call for assistance?

Yes, yes, I did.

He has a very powerful face, doesn't he?

He was one of the most brilliant Jedi
I've had the privilege of knowing.

I never understood
why he quit.

Well, one might say
he was always a bit out of step

with the decisions of the council.

Much like your old master,
Qui-Gon Jinn.

Really?
Oh, yes.

They were very individual thinkers.

Idealists.

In the end, I think he left
because he lost faith

in the Republic.

He disappeared for nine of 10 years
and turned up recently...

as head of the Separatist movement.

It's very interesting.

I'm not sure I completely understand.

[ Chuckles ]
Well, you didn't call me over here

for a history lesson.

Are you having a problem,
Master Kenobi?

Yes, I'm looking for
a planetary system called Kamino.

Kamino.

It doesn't show up
on the archive charts.

Kamino.
It's not a system I'm familiar with.

Are you sure you
have the right coordinates?

According to my information,
it should appear in this quadrant here,

just south of the Rishi Maze.

I hate to say it, but it looks like
the system you're searching for

doesn't exist.

Impossible.
Perhaps the archives are incomplete.

If an item does not appear
in our records,

it does not exist.

Hey, you! No droids!

Get outta here!

Thank you, R2.

Must be difficult,
having sworn your life to the Jedi,

not being able
to visit the places you like

or do the things you like.

Or be with the people that I love.

Are you allowed to love?

I thought that was forbidden for a Jedi.

Attachment is forbidden.

Possession is forbidden.

Compassion, which I would define
as unconditional love,

is central to a Jedi's life.

So you might say
that we are encouraged to love.

- You've changed so much.
- You haven't changed a bit.

You're exactly the way
I remember you in my dreams.

Reach out.
Sense the Force around you.

Use your feelings you must.

Younglings. Younglings!

A visitor we have.

Hello, Master Obi-Wan.

Hello. I'm sorry to disturb you, Master.

What help can I be, Obi-Wan, hmm?

I'm looking for a planet
described to me by an old friend.

I trust him, but the systems don't show
on the archive maps.

Hmm.

Lost a planet Master Obi-Wan has.

How embarrassing.

Liam, the shades.

Gather round the map reader.

Clear your minds

and find Obi-Wan's
wayward planet we will.

It ought to be here,

but it isn't.

Gravity is pulling all the stars
in the area towards this spot.

Hmm.

Gravity's silhouette remains,

but the star and all the planets,

disappeared they have.

How can this be?

A thought?

- Anyone.
- Master?

Because someone erased it
from the archive memory.

Truly wonderful the mind of a child is.

The Padawan is right.

Go to the center of gravity's pull

and find your planet you will.

The data must have been erased.

But, Master Yoda, who could empty
information from the archives?

That's impossible, isn't it?

Dangerous and disturbing
this puzzle is.

Only a Jedi could
have erased those files.

But who and why, harder to answer.

Meditate on this I will.

When I first started my training,
I was very homesick,

very lonely.

But I'd always feel better
when I thought about the Palace.

The way it shimmers in the sunlight...

The way the air always smells of flowers...

And the soft sounds of the distant waterfalls.

When I first saw the Capital
I was very young.

And I had never seen a waterfall before.

I thought they were so beautiful.

I never dreamed that one day
I'd be living in the Palace.

Tell me...

did you dream of power and politics
when you were a little girl?

No, that was the last thing I thought of!

I wasn't the youngest Queen ever elected...

but now that I think back on it,
I'm not sure I was old enough.

Not sure I was ready.

The people you served thought
you did a good job.

I heard they even tried to amend the Constitution
so you could stay in office.

Popular rule is not democracy, Ani.

It gives the people what they want,
not what they need.

I was relieved when my two terms were up.

So were my parents.

They were very worried about me
during the blockade.

They couldn't wait for it all to be over.

Actually, I had hoped
to have a family of my own by now.

My sister has the most amazing,
wonderful kids...

But when the Queen asked me to serve as Senator,

I couldn't refuse her.

I agree with her.

I think the Republic needs you.

I'm glad you chose to serve.

It appears someone doesn't want us
to know about this Kamino system.

Which means there's
something happening on that system...

that we should know about.

Master, do you think a Jedi
could have erased those files?

I hope not.

But this disturbance in the Force...

is making it hard
to get a sense of things.

I'm concerned for my Padawan.

He is not ready to be on his own.

If the prophecy is true...

he is the one who will
bring balance to the Force.

But he still has much to learn.

I realize now what you and
Master Yoda knew from the beginning.

The boy was too old
to start his training.

Master, we should not
have been given this assignment.

I fear Anakin will not be able
to protect the senator.

Why?

He has an emotional
connection with her.

It's been there since he was a boy.

Now he's confused...

distracted.

Obi-Wan, you must have faith
that he will choose the right path.

Yes, Master.

If the Senate
votes to create an army,

I'm sure it's going
to push us into a civil war.

It's unthinkable.

There hasn't been a full-scale war
since the formation of the Republic.

Do you see any way
through negotiations

to bring the separatists
back into the Republic?

Not if they feel threatened.

My guess is they'll turn
to the Trade Federations

or the Commerce Guilds for help.

It's outrageous, but after four trials
in the Supreme Court,

Nute Gunray is still the viceroy
of the Trade Federation.

I fear the Senate is powerless
to resolve this crisis.

We must keep our faith in the Republic.

The day we stop believing democracy
can work is the day we lose it.

Let's pray that day never comes.

In the meantime,
we must consider your own safety.

What is your suggestion, Master Jedi?

Oh, Anakin's not a Jedi yet.

He's still a Padawan learner.
But I was thinking...

- Hold on a minute.
- Excuse me.

I was thinking I would stay
in the lake country.

There are some places up there
that are very isolated.

Excuse me.
I'm in charge of security here, milady.

And this is my home.
I know it very well.

That is why we're here.

I think it would be wise

if you took advantage
of my knowledge in this instance.

Sorry, milady.

Perfect. It's settled, then.

We're here.

This is my house.

Ryoo!

Pooja!

[ Padmé, Girls Giggling ]

- [ Girls Giggling ]
- [ R2-D2 Beeping, Chirping ]

Padmé! [ Laughs ]

I was worried.

Anakin, this is my sister, Sola.

- Hello, Anakin.
- Hello.

- This is my mother.
- Hello.

You made it just in time for dinner.
I hope you're hungry, Anakin.

- A little.
- He's being polite, Mom. We're starving.

Well, you've come
to the right place at the right time.

Honey, it's so good
to see you safe. We were so worried.

- Dear.
- I know, I know.

But I had to say it. Now it's done.

Did you know, Anakin,
you're the first boyfriend

my sister's ever brought home?

He's not my boyfriend.

Anakin's a friend.
We've known each other for years.

He's a Jedi assigned to me
by the senate to protect me.

A bodyguard. Oh, Padmé.

- They didn't tell us it was that serious.
- It's not. I promise.

I'm not in any danger, Mom.

- Is she?
- Yes, um--

I'm afraid she is.

Ah, I sometimes wish
that, uh, I traveled more,

but, uh, I must say,
I'm very happy here.

Padmé tells me
you teach at the university.

Yeah, yeah.
Before that, I was a builder.

[ Chuckles ]
I also worked for a, uh-

a freedom relief movement, but I was very young.

Why haven't you told us about him?

What's there
to talk about? He's just a boy.

A boy?

Have you seen the way he looks at you?

Sola, stop it.

It's obvious
he has feelings for you.

Anakin and I are friends.

Our relationship
is strictly professional.

So tell me, son,
how serious is this thing?

How much danger
is my daughter really in?

There have been two attempts
on her life.

Chances are there'll be more.

My master's tracking
down the assassins.

I'm sure he'll find out who they are.

The situation won't last long.

I don't want anything
to happen to her.

I don't either.

So you still live at home.

I move around so much, never had a place of my own.

Official Residences have no warmth. I feel good here, I feel at home.

Never really had a home...

Home was always where my mom was.

Is this you?

That was when I worked with the relief group.

Their sun was imploding and the planet was dying...

I was helping to relocate all the children.

See that little one I'm holding? His name is N'a-kee-tula, which means sweetheart.

He was so full of life. They all were.

But they were never able to adapt to live off their native planet.

They all died.

My first day as an Apprentice legislator.

Notice the difference?

There it is, R4,
right where it should be.

Our missing planet Kamino.

Master Jedi.

The prime minister is expecting you.

- I'm expected?
- Of course.

He is anxious to meet you.

After all these years,

we were beginning to think
you weren't coming.

Now, please, this way.

May I present Lama Su,

prime minister of Kamino.

And this is Master Jedi...

Obi-Wan Kenobi.

I trust you're going to enjoy your stay.

Please.

And now to business.

You will be delighted
to hear that we are on schedule.

200,000 units are ready,

with a million more well on the way.

That's good news.

Please tell your Master Sifo-Dyas

that his order will be met on time.

I'm sorry. Master...

Jedi Master Sifo-Dyas is still
a leading member of the Jedi Council,

is he not?

Master Sifo-Dyas was killed
almost ten years ago.

Oh. I'm so sorry to hear that.

But I'm sure he would have been proud
of the army we've built for him.

- The army?
- Yes.

A clone army, and I must say,
one of the finest we've ever created.

Tell me, Prime Minister,

when my master first
contacted you about the army,

did he say who it was for?

Of course he did.

This army is for the Republic.

But you must be anxious
to inspect the units for yourself.

That's why I'm here.

We used to come here
for school retreat.

We would swim to that island every day.

I love the water.

We used to lie out on the sand
and let the sun dry us

and try to guess
the names of the birds singing.

I don't like sand.

It's coarse and rough and irritating,

and it gets everywhere.

Not like here.

Here, everything is soft...

And smooth.

No.

I shouldn't have done that.

I'm sorry.

- Very impressive.
- I'd hoped you would be pleased.

Clones can think creatively.

You will find that they are
immensely superior to droids.

We take great pride in our combat
education and training programs.

This group was created
about five years ago.

You mentioned
growth acceleration.

Oh, yes, it's essential.

Otherwise, a mature clone
would take a lifetime to grow.

Now we can do it in half the time.

I see.

They are totally obedient,

taking any order without question.

We modified their genetic structure

to make them less independent
than the original host.

And who was the original host?

A bounty hunter called Jango Fett.

And where is this bounty hunter now?

Oh, we keep him here.

Apart from his pay,
which is considerable,

Fett demanded only one thing,

an unaltered clone for himself.

- Curious, isn't it?
- "Unaltered"?

Pure genetic replication.

No tampering with the structure
to make it more docile

and no growth acceleration.

I should very much
like to meet this Jango Fett.

I would be very happy
to arrange it for you.

Magnificent, aren't they?

I don't know.

Sure you do.
You just don't want to tell me.

You gonna use one of your
Jedi mind tricks on me?

They only work on the weak-minded.

All right. I was 12.

His name was Palo. We were both
in the Legislative Youth Program.

He was a few years older than I.
Very cute.

Dark, curly hair. Dreamy eyes.

All right, I get the picture.

Whatever happened to him?

I went into public service,
he went on to become an artist.

Maybe he was the smart one.

You really don't like politicians,
do you?

I like two or three,

but I'm not really sure
about one of them.

I don't think the system works.

How would you have it work?

We need a system where the politicians
sit down and discuss the problem,

agree what's in the best interest
of all the people, and then do it.

That's exactly what we do.

The trouble is that people
don't always agree.

Well, then they should be made to.

By whom? Who's gonna make them?

- I don't know. Someone.
- You?

- Of course not me.
- But someone.

Someone wise.

Sounds an awful lot
like a dictatorship to me.

Well, if it works.

- You're making fun of me.
- No.

I'd be much too frightened
to tease a senator.

Whoa.

Ani! Ani, are you all right?

Boba, is your father here?

Yep.

May we see him?

Sure.

Dad, Taun We's here.

Jango, welcome back.

Was your trip productive?

Fairly.

This is Jedi Master Obi-Wan Kenobi.

He's come to check on our progress.

Your clones are very impressive.
You must be very proud.

I'm just a simple man
trying to make my way in the universe.

Ever made your way
as far into the interior as Coruscant?

- Once or twice.
- Recently?

Possibly.

Then you must know Master Sifo-Dyas.

Master who?

Sifo-Dyas.

Is he not the Jedi
who hired you for this job?

Never heard of him.

Really?

I was recruited by a man called Tyranus
on one of the moons of Bogden.

Curious.

Do you like your army?

I look forward to seeing them in action.

They'll do their job well.
I'll guarantee that.

Thank you for your time, Jango.

Always a pleasure to meet a Jedi.

What is it, Dad?

Pack your things. We're leaving.

And when I got to them, we went into
aggressive negotiations. Thank you.

"Aggressive negotiations"?
What's that?

Well, negotiations with a lightsaber.

If Master Obi-Wan caught me
doing this, he'd be very grumpy.

From the moment I met you,

all those years ago,

not a day has gone by
when I haven't thought of you.

And now that I'm with you again,

I'm in agony.

The closer I get to you,
the worse it gets.

The thought of not being with you,

I can't breathe.

I'm haunted by the kiss
that you should never have given me.

My heart is beating,

hoping that that kiss
will not become a scar.

You are in my very soul,

tormenting me.

What can I do?
I will do anything that you ask.

If you are suffering as much as I am,
please, tell me.

I can't.

We can't. It's just not possible.

Anything is possible, Padmé.
Listen to me.

No, you listen.

We live in a real world.
Come back to it.

You're studying to become a Jedi.
I'm a senator.

If you follow your thoughts
through to conclusion,

it'll take us to a place we cannot go,

regardless of the way
we feel about each other.

Then you do feel something.

I will not let you
give up your future for me.

You are asking me to be rational.

That is something I know I cannot do.

Believe me, I wish that I could just
wish away my feelings,

but I can't.

I will not give in to this.

Well, you know, it...

Wouldn't have to be that way.

We could keep it a secret.

We'd be living a lie,

one we couldn't keep
even if we wanted to.

I couldn't do that.

Could you, Anakin?
Could you live like that?

No. You're right.

It would destroy us.

Tell your council that
the first battalions are ready.

And remind them,
if they need more troops,

it will take more time to grow them.

- I won't forget, and thank you.
- Thank you.

R4!

Scramble code five to Coruscant,
care of the old folks' home!

I have
successfully made contact

with the prime minister of Kamino.

They are using a bounty hunter
named Jango Fett

to create a clone army.

I have a strong feeling
that this bounty hunter

is the assassin we are looking for.

Do you think these cloners are involved
