(Comlink beeping)

Ghost to Joopa Base, do you copy?

MAN: (On Comlink) This is Joopa Base.

Ghost, proceed to coordinates 6-7-8-2.

(Engines whooshing)

We were expecting you last rotation.

I had trouble escaping Lothal.

The Empire's blockade is tougher than ever.

(SIGHS) That would be no problem for me.

Hondo, I see you got my message.

(Squeals)

At your service.

And mine too, of course.

He wasn't hard to find.

Talks a lot for a smuggler.

Bup-bup-bup. Pirate!

That is pirate, my dear.

So much more romantic than a smug... Mug...

Word that... Ugh, never mind.

I think it's time we discussed the mission.

Of course.

But with such an odd collection of characters,

I'm curious, how are we going to split the profits?

Are we stealing?

Are we liberating?

Rebel Command never sent a briefing.

That's because, old friend,

this mission isn't for the Rebellion.

It's for Ezra.

We are liberating his home, and we need your help.

All of you.

Against a planet of Imperials?

General, those are difficult odds.

I agree.

But that boy has spirit!

He reminds me of the time when there was still something

you could believe in.

The Jedi.

We followed them into battle many times.

Well, how about one more time, eh?

(Laughs)

So you're in?

Madam, for that boy,

there is nothing I would not do.

*STAR WAR REBELS* Season 04 Episode 14 Title: "A Fool's Hope"

Ezra...

You okay?

Something's changed.

Something's happening.

What's wrong?

I have to talk to Hera.

Ezra, I have General Syndulla.

Ezra, what's the emergency?

We need to act right now

if we're gonna take Capital City from the Empire.

Your plan is crazy enough as it is.

What's the rush?

I had a vision.

The Emperor is sending Thrawn back to Lothal.

It's now or never.

Then it's never.

We won't stand a chance. We already tried and failed.

Our best hope is to lay low, reorganize, and rebuild.

Ryder, you have to trust me.

Ezra, we need an army to take the city.

Look around.

I don't see an army.

We don't need an army.

We just need one person.

Well?

We've scanned the outer reaches,

and we found the remains of several small encampments

but no signs of the rebels' current whereabouts.

Thrawn will return soon,

and if I do not have the rebels,

I will be executed.

But before that happens to me,

do you know what I will do to you for failing?

I will commit more troops to the search.

Governor, you have received an incoming transmission

on an old pre-Imperial frequency.

Hmm. Put it through.

(Comlink beeping)

Hello, Arihnda.

Ryder Azadi. This is a bold move.

I do what I have to do to survive.

Barely.

That strategy didn't stop me

from usurping you as Governor.

And yet here I am, alive,

to offer you something you can't resist.

Oh. Your head on a platter?

Not mine. The rebels... all of them.

You're betraying them? Why?

They can't win, and I don't want to end up

back in an Imperial prison... Or worse.

Ugh. You want amnesty?

Yes. In return, I give you Bridger, Syndulla,

and the rest of them.

This is cowardly, even for you.

(Sighs)

Do we have a deal, Governor?

Send me your coordinates.

(Wolf howls)

What is this connection you have with them?

I've never understood it.

I can't explain it.

Sometimes the connection is strong,

and sometimes I'm just on my own.

Well, if your plan's going to work,

let's hope whatever you feel is there when you need it.

Mmm. It has been so far.

(Wolf howls)

Where are they going?

(Engines rumbling faintly)

Wait. Do you hear that?

EZRA: Zeb, they're coming!

Argh, Karabast.

(Engines whooshing)

(Grunts)

I'll handle those flyers!

Make sure to take the Jedi boy alive.

We don't want to disappoint our Emperor.

Get in the fight! Man those cannons!

Chopper! Warn Hera that we're under attack!

(Beeping)

(Grunts)

(Lightsaber whooshing)

(Beeping)

(Screams)

Huh?

(Beeping)

(Yells)

(Beeping)

(Engines whooshing)

MAN: (On Comlink) Just received a transmission from Chopper.

They're under attack.

Coming up on Lothal. Get ready to power down.

(Engines powering down)

I don't think we were detected.

Hondo, time to join the Rebellion.

Very good. Move us to these coordinates.

That's a hyperspace lane, Hondo.

Technically it is just outside a hyperspace lane.

We shall wait there for a cargo ship to arrive.

Are you mad?

It'll crash into us!

This is the risk you take when you are a pirate.

You do want to get through the blockade, yes?

You want to help Ezra, yes?

Then you must listen to Hondo.

I have done this many times

and have only been struck...

I have done this many times!

(Yells)

(Grunts)

(Grunts)

(Yells)

Storm that ore crawler. I want it taken.

(Roars)

Yeah! You'd better get off!

(Cannon clicking)

(Grunts)

(Roars)

(Grunts)

Hera, where are you?

Listen, we can't just sit here.

Who knows how long Ezra can hold out down there?

Patience, patience, my friends.

The Empire runs shipments all the time...

(Alarm beeping)

Here comes one now.

You see? What did I tell you?

I admire your crew's efficiency,

but you must not power up the ship

until the last moment, or...

Or we'll be detected. I know.

Rex, stand by on the magnetic clamp.

Sir, yes, sir.

Now!

(Device chirping)

(Comlink beeping)

MAN: (On Comlink) Cargo freighter EF-75,

stand by for code authentication.

Freighter EF-75, you are cleared to proceed.

Once again, Hondo comes through!

No need to thank me.

As soon as we enter the atmosphere,

I'll give Ezra the signal.

There's too many!

I'm beginning to regret the day I met you, Ezra Bridger!

Day's not over yet, Vizago.

(Yells)

I've seen enough. Target the crawler.

Incoming!

Going down! Abandon ship!

(Beeping)

(Grunts)

(Yells)

Take Vizago. We'll jump.

(Grunts)

Drop your weapons.

(Comlink beeping)

The rebel base is secure, Governor.

And I have the boy.

(Engines whooshing)

Ezra Bridger, Sabine Wren,

Garazeb Orrelios,

and Ryder Azadi.

Stand up, my old friend.

I thank you for helping me to bring peace to Lothal.

Ryder, you betrayed us?

It's like I said.

We were never going to win without an army.

A wise choice.

I knew you'd think so.

We wouldn't have been able to fool Thrawn, but you?

Well, looks like we both took a gamble today.

But I won.

(Comlink beeps)

Do you want to tell her, or should I?

Oh, I've been waiting years for this.

Getting you to come all the way out here

was part of our plan.

For all the good it did you.

Your little rebellion ends right now.

You are my prisoners.

Get down!

(Screams)

(Yells)

Chopper, jam their transmissions!

(Beeping)

(Feedback squealing) (Groans)

We're still outnumbered!

Not for long. Fall back to the cave!

They're trapped.

Bring me Bridger. Eliminate the rest.

(Sniffs)

Where is your army now, Jedi?

(Wolf growls)

(Lightsaber whooshing)

(Wolves bark)

(Man screams)

(Wolves bark)

(Wolf snarling)

MAN: Look out!

(Yells)

(Men yelling)

(Growls)

(Men grunting and yelling)

(Engines whooshing)

I got him. I got him!

Melch, Melch! Turn around. Be productive!

(Squeals)

Yes, yes, you perform well when I pull your strings.

Hang on!

(Men yelling)

Oh, no, no, no, no!

(Yells) (Barks)

(Barks)

Hey, Wolffe, can you believe it?

- What? - The wolves!

You got your wolf pack back! (LAUGHS)

Yeah, they fight just like the boys.

(Screams)

(CACKLES) Just like 'em!

(Yelling)

(Wolves snarling)

I'd drop your weapons if I were you.

(GRUNTING) No.

(PANTING) Don't let it eat me! Please!

(Grunts)

(Panting)

(Whimpering)

Why don't you do the honors,

Governor-to-Governor?

Ezra, it would be my pleasure.

You did it.

Somehow, against all the odds,

you actually did it.

I couldn't have without you.

All of you.

So true, my young friend.

You're welcome.

So I, uh... (SNIFFS)

I guess the fight is won

and we can all get paid and go home now?

I wish it was over, but it's not.

Not until we chase the Empire from Lothal

and show the galaxy that for all their power,

they can be defeated.
