[♪ theme music playing]

[warlord] I think we can all agree

that things were better under the Empire.

Fortunately, I am still here to protect you.

Your communities can thrive under my protection.

You are the lucky few.

But that which I provide is expensive.

And now I must maintain all of it

without the Empire's support

until the galaxy realizes what they've lost

and demand our return.

Long live the Empire.

[all] Long live the Empire.

Good.

Now for the bad news.

I am raising your tribute.

[gasps]

But... [stammers]

But, Your Excellency, we are operating at a loss.

The trade routes are plagued with pirates and thieves,

ready to attack at--

[♪ theme music stops]

Are you saying that my protection is lacking?

No, Your Excellency.

I-I am saying that, uh--

[spectator gasps]

Perhaps you should all go back to your townships

and focus on solutions,

not excuses.

Does that sound reasonable?

[alarm blaring]

[static on comms]

[snowtrooper 1] Sounds like a perimeter alarm.

- I'll confirm. - [blaster fires]

- I've lost contact. - Go check it.

[alarm blaring continues]

[warlord] There's nothing to worry about.

- I'll send for reinforcements. - [button clicks]

[warlord] I will require a revenue projection...

What are you waiting for? Hop on.

Hang on.

[screams]

[artillery firing]

Did we get him?

[pilot 1] Not yet, sir. But we will.

- We missed him! He's under us. - [commander] We have him.

Fire.

[The Mandalorian grunting]

[grunts]

[beeping]

What's going on? Give me a status report.

Has the target been eliminated?

- [pilot 2] We've lost contact. - Walker Three is gone.

- [warlord] Send everybody! - Understood.

Prepare to engage!

[alarm blaring]

Get ready. Weapons up.

Full barrel. Now, let's go.

[snowtroopers grunting]

[groaning]

[screaming]

[grunting, screaming]

[exclaims]

[warlord] Give me a status update.

Did you see him? Have you located him?

Did you get The Mandalorian?

[metal clangs]

Something's up there.

He's on the roof!

Can you see him?

Take him out!

Get up there.

But we're pilots.

- Go now! Do it! - Yes, sir. On our way.

Get up there.

[warlord] Set the charges.

- Prepare for exfil. - Sir.

He's breaching the hatch. He's breaching the hatch!

[ship engine approaching]

[The Mandalorian grunts]

You know, it's better if you bring 'em in alive.

You okay?

[sneezes]

You see, you catch the bad guy

and they tell us where the other bad guys are.

Things went a little sideways.

[engine accelerates]

[♪ theme music playing]

[no audible dialogue]

[♪ theme music ends]

[droid warbling]

Good luck. You're gonna need it.

Messy. Very messy.

It was the best I could do under the circumstances.

The problem is, we need information.

Without it, we're never gonna get to the bottom of

what the Empire's up to.

Just give me time,

I'll take out every bad guy in your deck of cards.

This isn't about revenge.

It's about preventing another war...

[Grogu groans]

...and protecting everything the Rebellion fought for.

Does that mean I'm not getting paid for this one?

You're getting paid all right.

Come with me.

[The Mandalorian] Impressive.

Where did you get one of these?

It was from a captured Imperial commandant

who had a big collection of vintage vehicles.

This one is stock. Perfectly restored.

I took it out for a test spin.

They did a nice job on the rebuild.

[The Mandalorian] This is worth a lot more than

the bounty on that Imp.

Well, let's call it an advance on the next mission.

What next mission?

Commander Coin.

Our missing Ace of Staves.

No one knows what he looks like

and most believe him to be dead.

Not a lot to go on. What's the play?

I want you to go to Nal Hutta and meet with the Hutts.

They've agreed to lead us to him.

What's in it for them?

Their nephew's being held against his will

by another crime syndicate on the Outer Rim,

and they need a professional

to get him out quickly and quietly.

Where is he?

They'll only tell you in person.

You got a name?

His name is Rotta the Hutt.

The only surviving heir of crime lord Jabba the Hutt.

You ever cross his path?

I tried not to.

So...

do we have a deal?

I only hunt down Imperial war criminals.

I don't work for gangsters anymore, especially the Hutts.

That's right, you don't. You work for us.

And right now, this is what we need you to do.

You don't want the job, I got nothing for you.

[Zeb] Come aboard.

May as well have a look around.

Let's go hear the Hutts out.

I'll even let you fly this time.

- I didn't say yes. - [thudding]

[Zeb] You didn't say no either.

- [thudding] - [giggling, panting]

[♪ theme music playing]

She's stock, but she's clean.

[engine whirring]

[Grogu grunting]

[mechanism powers up]

Don't touch anything.

Never touch the buttons.

[switches clicking]

[robotic voice over comms] Identify yourself.

Razor Crest, requesting clearance.

I'm here by invitation of the Twins.

Easy on the sticks. They're expecting us.

We should be fine.

[robotic voice over comms] Clearance granted.

You are clear to approach.

They've got a lot of firepower here.

Yeah. Looks like they hired the Droid Gotra.

The Hutts take security seriously.

[♪ ominous music continues]

The Hutts have been the head of criminal enterprises

for thousands of years.

- [speaks Huttese] - [frantic chittering]

[The Mandalorian] They use violence and treachery

to maintain control.

Be careful.

We may be their guests, but we are not safe.

[device beeps]

[in Huttese] We finally meet the legendary Mandalorian.

We are so glad you agreed to work for us.

You will be very rich.

[in English] I don't work for you.

I work for the New Republic.

I'm told you can lead us

to the Imperial fugitive Commander Coin.

[in Huttese] Of course, Mando.

[in English] I understand your nephew, Rotta,

has been kidnapped.

[in Huttese] Yes, our poor nephew has been taken.

He fell in with a bad crowd.

We are heartbroken.

[in English] Think of how you would feel

if your little one went missing.

[Grogu groans]

What does he look like?

Do you have an image?

[in Huttese] Ah, yes.

The only image we have is from long ago.

[device humming]

[Grogu babbles]

He's had a growth spurt since then.

[in English] Okay. I'll rescue your nephew.

Where is he being held?

[in Huttese] You will find him on the moon of Shakari.

[in English] It shall be done.

[engine accelerates]

We're about to come out of hyperspace

in the Shakari system.

[through comms] To state the obvious, you are operating

outside the jurisdiction of the New Republic.

If things get messy, I can't call in an X-wing strike.

I know the drill.

Before going into harm's way, check your armor first.

It's gotta fit snug so it doesn't slide,

but not so tight that it restricts your movement.

Got it?

[babbles]

- How's that feel? - [coos]

[♪ dramatic electronic music playing]

All right, Zeb, drop us here.

[♪ dramatic electronic music continues]

- [♪ music fades] - [Grogu grunts]

Yes?

I'll take a flat-meat fry for the little one.

Got it. Okay, got it, got it.

Flat-meat fry, huh?

- Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. - [strains]

[vendor mutters in Ardennian]

[chuckles] Whoa.

[in English] That's quite an impressive denomination.

I'm not sure I've got change for that.

[The Mandalorian] You can keep the change.

I'm new to these parts.

I can use some information.

Yeah, for this price, I'll tell you whatever you want.

I'm looking for a Hutt.

Shh. Don't mention that name. Don't say that.

What, are you trying to get us both killed?

Here. Keep your credits. Food's on me.

Go away. Thank you.

Okay, never happened. Let's go. Nothing to see here.

Damn Mandalorian, talking like that.

Just out in the open, he talks like... What is this?

No, no, no. No, no, no, no. I don't want your credits,

'cause I didn't give you any information.

His name is Rotta.

Really?

[laughing]

Something funny?

Yeah, yeah. Everybody... [chuckles]

Everybody knows Rotta the Hutt.

That guy's a monster. [chuckles]

[crowd cheering, whistling]

[Rotta growling]

[roaring]

[both grunting]

[crowd cheers]

[strains]

[roars]

Rotta! Rotta! Rotta!

He doesn't seem like a prisoner to me.

- [pit announcer] ...Rotta! - [crowd cheering]

[crowd chanting]

[roars]

[mechanical buzzing]

[The Mandalorian speaks Huttese]

Are you here to kill me?

[in English] I'm here to rescue you.

What makes you think I need rescuing?

Your aunt and uncle hired me to find you.

[scoffs]

Yeah, I see. Well, thank you, but I don't require rescuing.

Tomorrow's the last match in my contract and after that,

my debt will be paid.

I'll be a free agent. [crunches]

[exclaims excitedly]

Paid to who?

[whines]

Who's he?

- Don't stare. - [babbles]

It's okay. What's your name?

- [exclaims] - He doesn't talk.

Who do you have to pay?

Can I feed him?

[whining]

Sure.

Who do you have to pay?

[babbles, gulps]

Lord Janu.

I don't know the name.

You should.

He runs the Syndicate on all the moons of Shakari.

He signed me to his stable.

He bankrolled my board and training.

He keeps you in a cage.

He treats me well.

And after tomorrow night, I'll be my own man.

And with the following he got me as a promoter,

not only will my debt be paid,

but I'll be rich by the solstice.

- [giggles] - Grogu, heel!

Don't worry, I'm not my father.

[crunching]

You know how hard it is to be your own man

when your father is Jabba the Hutt?

You see them cheering for me out there?

For me.

It's the first time I'm not living in his shadow.

That's why I fight in the pits.

They feared him, but they cheer for me.

So, no...

I don't need to be rescued.

[mechanical buzzing resumes]

Where can I find Lord Janu?

Thank you. Closed for the night.

[Grogu babbles]

What the hell's he thinking? Damn Mandalorians.

Mandalorians, they don't even come from here.

He's going around, talking-- [shouts]

I just wanna know where I can find Lord Janu.

Don't say that. Do not say that name.

Stop saying it.

I recommend you calm down.

Just, please, please, don't kill me. Don't kill me.

I've got... I've got 12 little ones at home,

smaller than him. It's... They're smaller.

[sighs] Yeah, it's just...

[sighs] I pay him protection, okay?

We all do.

I barely make a living, to be honest.

- But at least I'm alive. - Who collects for him?

I don't know. Different people come in.

Sometimes they come here, sometimes I do a drop myself.

- What do I know? - Where?

- Where what? - Where do you do the drops?

I don't... Some pla... Sometimes,

I go down to... [stammers] ...different places.

Usually... Sometimes I go to the salt bar

under Korvin Station.

And then there's other places too. You go to...

You know. You know, I go around.

[coin clinks]

No, I don't want it. I don't want it.

I didn't give you any information.

- I was just talking. - That's not for information.

It's to cover his tab.

[crunches]

- [chittering, buzzing] - [patrons chattering]

I'm looking for Lord Janu.

[chatter quiets]

Maybe you made a mistake.

Maybe you remember wrong and think you know me.

Maybe you just walked through the wrong door.

Well, I'm not here to buy salt.

Salt?

We don't sell salt.

It's on the ration.

How much for the shoulder candy?

[Grogu groans]

[chuckles]

Would look real pretty in a cage.

I'm here to see Lord Janu.

I won't repeat myself again.

- [grunts] - [screeching]

[groans]

[grunting]

[armor clangs]

[shouts]

[helmet clangs]

[grunts]

[The Mandalorian breathes heavily]

It seems you've earned your salt today.

I'm Janu.

Come to the back and pick out a crystal.

Hogsbreth,

have the boys clean up.

Make sure I don't lose any pets.

[pets fluttering, chittering]

[chittering]

Here.

Choose one.

Salt is of no value to me where I'm from.

But here it's worth a small fortune,

because it's rationed by the politicians.

Which makes it rare.

As are you, Mandalorian.

Have you ever considered fighting in the pits?

I try to avoid violence.

'Course you do.

I do as well.

So what brings you to this establishment

if you're not in the market for salt?

I wanna buy out the contract on a fighter from your stable.

Perhaps you would consider joining my stable instead?

This buys a lot of salt where I'm from.

I am offering you this

in exchange for the fighting contract on Rotta the Hutt.

My dear boy, there's no price high enough

to buy him out of his last fights.

I've been grooming that little prince for many cycles,

setting him up for tomorrow's match.

[The Mandalorian] Take the credits.

It's his last fight for you anyway.

It's his last fight ever.

I've collected the most deadly creatures

from across the galaxy.

He's fighting a Dejarik match?

Yes.

He will die tomorrow.

And a select few know it.

Here's my gift to you:

take those credits,

bet it all on the death of the Hutt.

In exchange,

all I ask is that you consider fighting in my pit.

The people of Shakari would pay any price

to see the rarest of sights,

one of the legendary Mandalorian warriors

engaging in blood sport.

This should more than cover

our little misunderstanding out there.

All I ask is that you consider my offer.

Could make us both very rich.

[pets fluttering, chittering]

[♪ dramatic electronic music playing]

Looks like we're gonna have to do this the hard way.

- [pit announcer speaking] - [spectators cheering]

- [gladiator opponent grunts] - [Rotta roars]

[snoring]

[device beeping]

[grunts]

[shushes]

What?

Janu's planning on killing you.

I'm here to get you out.

[device continues beeping]

Tomorrow's my last fight. I'll be free after I win.

The fix is in. It's a Dejarik match.

He will keep throwing opponents at you

until you die.

Why should I believe you?

You were sent by my aunt and uncle who want me dead.

They want you back.

You're embarrassing them.

[Rotta] The Twins want me dead

because I'm heir to the throne, not them.

But I don't want it.

I don't wanna be anything like my father.

When I first started fighting, the people all booed me.

They wanted to see me die

because I'm the son of Jabba the Hutt.

Then I won and became a champion

and they slowly began to cheer.

They realized I'm not my father.

I'm my own man,

and I'm not afraid to fight for what I have.

To earn it. To prove myself to everyone.

[The Mandalorian] Kid, fighting's not a sport.

It's a last resort.

Now come with me before things get ugly.

Guards, he's back!

[♪ tense music playing]

Rotta the Hutt has won.

Now you owe him his freedom.

Now he is free...

Okay, you got me.

Can't blame a guy for trying.

[♪ calm music playing]

[The Mandalorian] We're about to jump to hyperspace.

Where are you bringing me?

It's not safe to keep you chained up.

If I unlock you,

can we agree to no funny stuff?

Are you bringing me to Nal Hutta?

This is an old ship.

Sometimes things get a little bouncy.

My aunt and uncle were scared of my father.

They've always been cruel to me.

Now that they control his criminal empire,

they need me eliminated.

You bring me to them, I'm a dead man.

You don't know that.

[Rotta] If you let me go,

you'll never hear from me again.

It's a big galaxy.

I can disappear.

Sorry, kid.

I was hired to do a job.

I don't know how you sleep at night,

working for those monsters.

I don't work for them,

I work for the New Republic.

They hired me, not the Twins.

When I bring you back, they're giving me

the whereabouts of Commander Coin,

a high-ranking ex-Imperial operating on the Outer Rim.

[Rotta] It's Janu.

The man you're looking for is Janu.

Lord Janu Coin.

That's who the Hutts are gonna give you.

He's ex-Imperial.

That can't be. The Twins would've told me.

[Rotta] I saw stormtroopers.

He brought me to his estate once

to celebrate a big win

and there were stormtroopers everywhere.

If you don't believe me and you don't get him now,

you won't get another shot.

In fact, it might already be too late.

That's quite a story.

Why should I believe you?

You're a bounty hunter, you know when someone's lying.

Am I lying...

or am I telling the truth?

[Rotta] That's it.

That's Janu Coin's compound.

[Zeb] Could be big boy's telling the truth.

The place is lousy with stormtroopers.

[The Mandalorian] How many did you see

when you were in there?

[Rotta] A lot.

[Grogu babbles]

You're gonna need a lot of backup

if you're actually thinking of going in.

Uh-huh.

[Janu Coin] Get word to all our foot soldiers

on the dark side of Shakari.

I want eyes on the starport and all the freight lanes.

Lean on the mayor.

Nothing takes off or lands until we find them.

Muster my personal security forces.

We're going to hit the streets in full armor.

I don't want to take any chances

when it comes to The Mandalorian.

I've heard many things about those monsters.

[The Mandalorian] It's all true.

Imperial Commander Janu Coin,

I'm here on behalf of the New Republic

to bring you to justice.

I'm afraid we're outside of your jurisdiction.

Take him!

I'm up. I'm up.

[The Mandalorian] I need you to fire up the drives.

Fire up the drives.

- We have company. - Received.

I don't know how to fly. Do you know how to fly?

Neither of us know how to fly,

and I can't even fit in the cockpit.

Grogu, I need you to go to the control panel.

Remember the buttons I told you never to touch?

I'm gonna need you to touch them.

Look for the ignition relay cutoff.

It's next to the fuel differential readout,

which is between the pump compression gauge

and the primary reserve indic--

[missile whooshes]

- [Janu Coin grunts] - [Zeb] Whoa.

No. Don't touch the missile battery switch.

That's why there's a safety guard on it.

Do you see the fuel readout display?

Remember I showed you that one?

It's on the other side

of the manual control surface calibration un--

[missile whooshes]

I don't think he knows what he's doing.

[screams]

Get out.

[grunting]

Get going. They're shooting at you too.

[whimpers]

[shouts]

Good job, buddy. Strap in.

- [grunts, shouts] - [stormtroopers scream]

[panting]

I like this kid.

Come on. Come on.

Get us out of atmosphere and jump!

Get up here.

I need you to bypass the exhaust restrictors.

[groans] This old junker's gonna get us killed.

I need more power.

Disable the safety panel so I can override the limiter.

How? I'm a pilot, not a meknek.

Just rip out the whole brain board.

[groaning]

[systems power down]

[alarm blares]

Everything okay up there?

Perfect.

[whimpers]

I told you to strap in. Always wear your seat belt.

[both shout]

[Zeb groans]

Take it easy up there!

There we go.

[giggles]

[targeting system beeping]

[Janu Coin clears throat]

[chattering]

[chattering stops]

That doesn't look like a Hutt.

This is Imperial Commander Janu Coin.

He's full of information and ready to sing like a Yuzzum.

Isn't that right, Coin?

I demand an attorney be present

if I'm to be questioned.

You see?

He's full of secrets.

You were supposed to bring back Rotta.

We had an arrangement with the Twins.

This is your Ace of Staves.

This is who they were going to lead you to.

And then tip him off,

sell you out and collect credits from both sides.

Take him away.

Intelligence has been cultivating

a relationship with the Hutts for a very long time,

and you crossed them.

The Twins can hold a grudge.

I made a call.

I got you the big prize.

The Twins can rot in hell.

Well, you missed out on them paying you

a big bounty for their nephew.

Hmm...

So be it.

Well, I'll see if I can hit up Command

for a fee for the capture of Coin.

Don't worry about it. It's on me.

This one got messy.

I'm taking a break.

I understand.

Mando.

Good job.

[Grogu giggling, babbling]

[Rotta chuckles]

Okay, okay. Okey-doke.

Pull out anything that doesn't make her go.

[The Mandalorian] Hey!

- [chattering] - [The Mandalorian] Hey. Hey.

No, don't touch me!

- Heel. - [Grogu groans]

- The horrible baby. - The bad baby.

- Stay. - [sighs]

[The Mandalorian] I purged the fuel lines.

I wanna remove all the restrictors

and unplug the exhaust.

- Got it. Yeah, yeah. - No problem. Yeah. I got it.

- No problem. - Yeah. Okey-doke.

You wanna go help them?

Do you promise to play nice?

[exclaims]

All right. Go.

[giggles]

[speaking Anzellan]

[Rotta] Don't worry about him.

Little guy's gonna be okay.

[crunches]

Sorry, I found these in your kitchen.

[Rotta chewing]

I was alone when I was his age.

I had to fend for myself.

He's lucky he has you.

Well, you didn't turn out half bad.

Mmm. Life's messy, but we do the best we can.

Listen, I called a gunrunner

who agreed to take you out of the system.

We both know the Twins will be looking for you,

so you best keep moving.

[♪ gentle music playing]

Thank you, Mando.

It was a fair trade.

Make sure you lay low.

I don't wanna see your name on my list again.

You have my word.

All right, you take care of yourself, little guy.

And keep an eye on your old man, too, all right?

Here you go.

Hang on to these for me.

[The Mandalorian] Quiet. Get under the floor.

Uh-oh.

Who hired you?

Was it the Hutts?

Well, if it was the Hutts,

I'd make sure they're paying you what you're worth.

But I'm guessing a Kyuzo is smart enough

to get their money up-front--

[Anzellan 2] Kid, don't be scared.

Don't be scared. It's okay, yeah.

Come on, let's go.

- [rustling] - Oh...

[footsteps approaching]

Oh! Hello! It's me, it's me! You're here.

You came for me! You found me!

[Anzellan 2] Oh, we thought you were dead.

Mandalorian, he saved me.

Big guy. He's inside there.

Yeah, we got to go and find him

and bring him home for the baby.

The big thing. The big dog. The big dog. The big...

Oh, oh. It picked me up...

Mando is in there. In the palace.

Come on. Up, up, up, up.

Come on, baby. You can do it.

Big pipe, huh?

Good shot, baby.

[♪ ominous music plays]

[Keibu pants, growls]

[metal clangs]

[The Mandalorian grunts]

[in Huttese] Pay the hunter.

[footsteps clanging]

[in English] You broke our agreement.

Now you must pay.

[in Huttese] Bring me his helmet.

[air hisses]

[♪ pensive music plays]

[in English] Mandalorian steel.

Priceless on the black market.

But worth even more is knowing

we have shamed you forever.

[Hutt brother] We know the Mandalorian Creed.

You will be outcast

for letting an enemy see your face.

Not if you all die.

[chuckles]

It will bring us ecstasy

to watch your strong spirit break.

[electricity zaps]

- [electricity zaps, buzzing] - [groaning]

Monsters.

[Hutt brother] You did this to him.

Rotta would have died painlessly,

but you betrayed us.

Now he will suffer for centuries.

You see, Hutts live for hundreds of years.

Just like your small, green child.

One day you will die,

and Grogu will be without you to protect him.

And then, it will be his turn to suffer.

I'm surprised you haven't found your way

Well, that's impressive.

Says your partner's hurt real bad.

Bit by a dragonsnake. Poisoned.

I want you to feed this to him.

Now, you should know,

this might be too little, too late,

and there's a good chance he doesn't wake up.

Either way, best thing you can do

right now is make him comfortable.

There comes a time where we all have to say goodbye.

Hello?

[Anzellan 1 through comms] Mando! We came back.

We told you we would.

[Ward] Adelphi Squadron, entering atmosphere.

- What's your status, Mando? - We're under attack.

There are too many.

Fire everything you have at my location.

- [Ward] Your location? - Yes, my location.

I can't give that order.

Don't worry...

we'll be out of here by the time you do.

Good luck.

Blue Leader to Red Jammer, mark it and lock it in.

Locking in target.

It's a dead end.

We're trapped.

Stand back.

[Ward through comms] We're closing fast.

Repeat, we're closing fast.

You better be out of there, Mando.

[The Mandalorian] Jump.

[Rotta] That's a long way down.

Closing on target.

- [The Mandalorian] Gotta jump. - [Rotta] Moat's not that deep.

It's a bomber. Jump.

Let's light up this swamp.

Hop in.

Let's head home.

[♪ triumphant music plays]

Colonel.

Messy.

Very messy.

Why'd you come for me?

That wasn't part of the mission.

You were right. Coin told us everything.

The Twins were playing us.

Feeding information to the Empire all along.

They picked a side. It wasn't ours.

Besides, we don't leave our own behind.

I'm an independent contractor.

Sure, Mando. Sure you are.

[Grogu exclaims]

Can I give you a ride somewhere?

Actually, I was thinking I could stay here.

Maybe work for the New Republic.

Don't take this the wrong way, but...

I'm not sure you would fit in.

You know... [grunts]

...I might have a uniform that would fit him.

Come on, let me buy you a drink.

Thank you, Mando. I owe you big time.

Just doing my job.

And keep an eye on him.

Your dad's one of the good ones.
