Original subtitles

- There's a medpac.

Blue. Bright blue.

The shelf behind you.

Take hold of something.

- Anyone behind us? - Set for Aldhani.

Calculating for Aldhani.

Are they coming? Do as I say.

Calculations complete.

What's powering this?

I've been in a Fondor Haulcraft.

I've flown them.

Never seen one do that.

Well, it's been a day of surprises for all of us.

You're bleeding on my floor.

Fix your arm.

What's Aldhani?

That depends.

I haven't agreed to do anything but save my skin.

Yeah, and here you are with your skin.

- What's that? - Med nog.

Just a sip.

Perhaps you got alternatives I'm not aware of.

Seems to me you have two choices.

Either I drop you somewhere and you start running

or you come with me and help with something important.

And, of course, you could try and kill me and take the ship.

Define "important."

Taking something of real value from the Empire.

I don't need you to steal.

Seeing how well you're doing on your own.

I'll take the drop-off.

And do what? Continue as you are?

They'll use the same rope to hang you

whether it's for a plasma coil or 20 million credits.

I'm offering you everything you want, all at once.

What is "everything I want"?

Since you know so much about me.

To put a real stick in the eye of the Empire

and get paid for it.

I wondered who you were.

Who am I?

Alliance, Sep, guerilla, Partisan Front.

- One of them. - Isn't it all the same?

It is to me.

So we agree.

No.

I think it's all useless.

Better to spit in their food and steal their trinkets.

It's better to live.

Better to eat, sleep, do what you want.

You don't know me.

I fought in Mimban when I was 16.

Two years of it.

Straight out of prison, into the mud.

I'm one of 50 that survived.

And who did it turn out we were fighting?

Ourselves.

So, please...

You were on the ground in Mimban for six months.

You came in as a cook.

You lived because you ran.

But you're right about one thing.

The Empire had you fighting each other,

which should make you hate them all the more,

and you do.

I said I know you.

I know the outside. I know what people tell me when I ask.

The rest, I imagine.

I imagine your hate.

I imagine that no matter what you tell me or tell yourself,

you'll ultimately die fighting these bastards.

So what I'm asking is this.

Wouldn't you rather give it all at once to something real

than carve off useless pieces till there's nothing left?

I didn't risk my ass for the Starpath unit.

I came for you.

What's the offer?

Five days.

Big stakes, big danger.

Prepped team, good plan.

You survive and deliver, I'll give you 200,000.

What would we be stealing?

The quarterly payroll for an entire Imperial sector.

With the next quarter's detention estimates

expected to increase across the Ryloth sector,

any further erosion in local authority

may require an increase in our blackline budget.

And where would you target these new resources, Supervisor Grandi?

Uh, increase surveillance, sir.

Looking for what?

Anti-Imperial activity as always.

Uh, are you being intentionally vague?

No, sir.

I'll expect specifics by the end of the day. Lagret,

- what is this item from Arvala-Six?

A positive development, sir.

The dimensions of the conflict have diminished sufficiently

that mining has resumed on the occupied lands.

Storage issues with the displaced?

Ongoing.

As is your unfinished memorandum of recommendations regarding the problem.

My staff is awaiting an assessment from Arvala-Six's ministerial director.

Because they've done such an excellent job so far, hmm?

- What do we do here? - Sir?

What is our purpose, Lagret?

On Arvala-Six?

I open the question to the room.

What do we do in this building? Why are we here? Anyone?

We're here to further security objectives by collecting intelligence,

providing useful analysis, and conducting effective covert action, sir.

Very good, Dedra.

That is verbatim from the ISB mission statement, and wrong.

Security is an illusion.

You want security? Call the Navy.

Launch a regiment of troopers.

We are healthcare providers.

We treat sickness.

We identify symptoms.

We locate germs whether they arise from within or have come from the outside.

The longer we wait to identify a disorder, the harder it is to treat the disease.

- Do you understand my meaning, Lagret? - Yes, sir.

Don't trouble yourself writing the memorandum.

I'll reassign it.

Blevin, Morlana sector. This incident on Ferrix.

Corporate Security, sir. They're still in charge out there.

They tried to serve a warrant and ran into more trouble than they'd anticipated.

Trouble meaning what?

Several dead. Property damage.

Interruption of service.

A stolen Imperial Starpath unit was recovered at the scene.

Those responsible? Unknown, sir.

- I'm heading out after this meeting. - We'll speak before you leave.

- Jung. - Sir?

Elaborate on these added protection requests

for traffic to the Abrion sector.

Proactive measure, sir.

There's an increase in construction shipments going to Scarif, sir.

Think of a name.

- Think of a name for yourself.

Clem.

For the next five days, you'll be Clem.

Who's that?

You'll be working for her.

I thought you were in charge.

I never said that.

She's gonna hate this idea to start.

She's gonna argue with me.

Think it's best you stay inside until I've had time to work it all out.

Take this.

What is it?

It's a down payment.

It's a Kuati Signet.

Blue kyber. Sky stone.

The ancient world.

Celebrates the uprising against the Rakatan invaders.

Don't take less than 50,000 for it.

Just know it will always be worth more to me.

- I want it back when this is over.

If I live.

I want it back.

- Against 200,000. - Giving you my word.

- Hello, Vel. - We almost didn't get the message.

I'm glad you made it.

They've started patrolling the old Stone Valley.

It's a full day gettin' out here now.

I like hearing that. The vigilance.

I count on your discipline.

Obviously something's wrong.

No. Actually, I think things are coming together.

Something I can help you with?

He can pilot. He can shoot. He can lie. He speaks Alarin, Myo, Nari.

He's got steady nerves and isn't afraid to kill.

- I can't believe you're doing this. - He can pilot.

We go in three days!

He increases your chances of success dramatically.

Now? Like this?

Five months in?

Just plug in some new person?

It'll tear the team apart.

Well, then it's not much of a team, is it?

You're vulnerable and you know it. I'm buying you critical redundancy.

What do you mean "buying"?

I'm paying him.

No.

Two hundred thousand.

We've been eating roots and sleeping on rocks for this rebellion

and now you've got a mercenary on board?

You're wasting energy. You know I'm right.

We need this to work, Vel.

Failure would be devastating.

What would I tell the others?

You'll tell them it was always a part of the plan.

Are you giving me a choice here?

Yeah.

You take him or call it off.

I was planning to shut you down.

Your odds have improved since we set the meeting.

You'll take him in and lie about how it's come to pass.

You'll plug him in as a replacement for anyone who goes down along the way.

In the next three days, if for any reason... Look at me!

You wanted to lead?

This is what it comes to.

You got three days.

Something feels off, something turns, someone starts to fold,

you step up, you lead, you cancel the mission.

I need to know you understand.

And if he's the problem?

Well, that's the advantage of renting him.

He's disposable.

This has to be a win, Vel.

Yes.

Yes.

Clem!

Orbiting Coruscant.

Your controls.

Landing protocol 037.

Protocol 037.

Senator Mon Mothma's here.

New driver.

Anyone we know?

Never seen him.

Chandrilan?

One would think.

Senator.

- What a pleasure to see you. - You as well, Luthen.

Sorry to be so late. It's always right when you're leaving,

everyone remembers things they're meant to bother you with.

Free your mind, Senator. This is a place where time stands still.

It's hard being surrounded with this much history

and not be humbled by the insignificance of our daily anxieties.

How true. And how I need to hear that.

- You know Kleya. - Of course.

We often refer to the gallery

as Coruscant's unofficial temple of patience.

Well, I have to start coming here more often.

- You're teasing us.

So, a gift for your husband.

Yes. It's his Day of Days. It's a Chandrilan custom.

One of our many.

Yours is a rich history.

Well, that's a kind way of putting it.

I put aside a few things.

If I recall, he has an interest in military artifacts.

Yes.

So, let's start with the oldest one.

It's a Utapaun monk cudgel.

You see the ceremonial variety in many places,

but this is the real thing.

It's a unique gift for most, but...

it's a treasure for the true aficionado.

Dated to the eighth archaic settlem...

May I show you something?

Oh, don't bother. I couldn't afford anything here.

Please. There's no harm in looking.

We just got in some terribly interesting coins.

- Yeah.

I'm trying to expand Perrin's tastes beyond fighting implements.

Is there anything else that might interest him?

Well, your timing is excellent.

I have something very special that just came in.

Come with me.

It's a two-faced divinity.

Fourteen thousand years old.

A sun goddess and a serpent from the overworld

sharing the same mouth.

If you can't deliver, I need to know.

- Do you think I'm not trying? - I never think that.

But I need to start planning if you're no longer coming through.

The money's there.

It's just getting very dangerous to move it around.

I can't pull funds the way I used to.

- They're watching me now. - Oh, they're watching everyone.

This is different. They're everywhere.

There's a new spy every day at the Senate.

I visit the bank, they're all new faces.

You got a new driver.

I feel under siege.

I have many mouths to feed.

I can only forage for so long.

I found someone I think can help me.

Someone who?

To bring into the circle? No.

- I know what I'm asking. - No.

We're vulnerable enough.

We need funding, not more people.

Don't lecture me on vulnerability.

No one's more at risk than I am.

You think I haven't thought this through?

I'd be the first one to fall.

Why don't you take this on loan?

May I?

If your husband doesn't love it, I'll be glad to take it back.

It's a daring choice,

but I trust you'll have the courage to turn back

if it should be a bit much.

I appreciate that.

You'll be here?

Well, if not, Kleya can always reach me.

Kleya, can we have this wrapped for the Senator?

What's all this?

- Dinner for the governor. - What governor?

The governor of Hanna.

My regimental mate, that governor.

That's tonight?

It's on your calendar.

I added it a month ago after we discussed it.

- You don't remember?

I remember you wearing me down.

I didn't think anyone could do that.

Are you enjoying this?

No. Just looking forward to seeing some old friends.

Oh, who else is coming?

Seating chart's just there.

Ars Dangor? Sly Moore? From the Vizier's private chamber?

Is that a problem?

You can't be serious. These people hate me.

They spend every day trying to undo anything I've touched.

Well, perhaps tomorrow they'll think twice.

Uh, not right now, please.

Go!

You shouldn't have invited them without making sure I was aware.

Well, it's a bit late to cancel.

But at your pleasure.

Well played, Perrin.

And no, I'm not being serious.

Don't seat them near me.

Oh, I've taken care of that.

You're at the boring end of the table. These people are fun.

Oh, are they? Are they fun?

We should find some Ghorman guests for tonight

and see how amused they are.

Your fun friends just cut off their shipping lanes yesterday.

Do you know how many will starve?

Oh, perhaps we can laugh about it over the third course.

Perhaps you should have a rest.

If you make me pay attention, I will.

And you won't be happy.

Don't do this again.

There's rumor you bought me a present.

It's going back.

Must everything be boring and sad?

I thought you were turning it off.

I was just going to.

You said that an hour ago.

Am I keeping you up?

There's nothing coming through tonight.

You want to be useful, go clean some coins.

Happy?

Have you checked your walk-away pack?

- Yes. - And the one on the Fondor?

I don't like seeing you nervous.

There's nothing else you can do, Luthen.

They're either gonna be okay out there or they're not.

Well, that's a daring prediction.

- Vel's the only one who traces back. - No.

The thief. Andor.

I wasn't careful.

You wanted this to happen.

This is what it took.

It's never gonna be perfect.

I wanted it too much.

We have clients in the morning.

Yeah, I'll be ready.

It'll all be over this time tomorrow.

Or it'll just be starting.

Or that.

Are you on point?

Yes.

We're here on point.

Are we going or not?

Vel.

Go.

We go.

Copy.

He says, "May The Eye find the good in all of us."

Indeed.

Tell him we'll give him the gift of our absence and be on our way.

- Corporal. - At your service.

Fall in.

Right turn.

With me.

Sir.

- Everything in order? - Yes, sir.

You take the point and send your men down.

I want no one up here without my permission.

Will do, sir.

You know, it's the old ones causing all the problems.

Always trying to...

It'll all be much easier.

The days of passing skins

and ritual nonsense will be soon behind us.

No great loss there.

It's not as if there's much Aldhani civilization

to even forget about in the first place.

- Drop it. On the floor. - What's all this?

- No! - Drop it there.

Where's Lieutenant Gorn?

Down, on the ground. Down.

- What's the meaning of this? - Be quiet!

- Move. - Please.

- This is an outrage! - Quiet! Stop talking!

Stop right there.

Let the boy go.

- Let the boy go! - Jayhold...

Colonel, please.

Nobody has to die.

Everything all right, sir?

All good.

You can join your men at the bottom of the hill now.

Enjoy the Eye.

Yes, sir.

Thank you, sir.

You'll never get out of here.

We're good.

- You do everything they tell you. - Just what are you after?

You'll be taking us to the payroll vault.

- That's insane. - Or we die together.

- I can't open the vault. - Time check.

- Falling behind. - Go. We'll finish.

Didn't you hear me?

I don't control the vault!

It's on a code from the air base.

It's done remotely.

Keep lying and it'll be a short night for you.

We know how the vault works.

We need your hand to key the sensor.

We can take just that if you'd prefer.

You'll never make it out.

- You better pray we do. - You have no idea...

One path! One choice.

We win, or everyone dies.

Starts now.

Jayhold, please just do what they say.

Welcome, sir.

Put them down.

Down!

Against the wall. Move.

Move!

Down.

Sorry, just having a problem with the comms.

Try the inverse channel.

Hands away from the console.

Get up, now!

Move!

Let's go! Move!

Lights. Parapet. Base Floods. Turrets. Launch Tunnel.

Comms, you know.

This?

Don't touch, that's Alkenzi, that's the Air Base Link.

You're coming with us.

Everyone else stays here.

Your comms have been disabled.

Ours are working.

If you don't help us, your family will die.

If you slow us down, if you stall, if you argue,

if you play us in anyway, they will die.

You'll kill us anyway.

'Cause that's what you'd do, right?

No.

If we get what we came for, everyone walks away.

But if we go down, you're right there with us.

- 14 minutes. - Move.

Tell me you'll be all right.

I'll be fine.

Go.

Are you having trouble with your comms?

It just went down.

The Alkenzi line is still open, but everything else is fried.

Weird, right?

Must be the Eye.

Clem out first.

Clear.

Vel, take him.

Move.

Clem, with me.

- GUARD 1: Forty credits. - GUARD 2: I'm in.

GUARD 3: Deal.

Hexba.

GUARD 4: Hexa.

GUARD 5: Hoxla.

- GUARD 1: Come on. - GUARD 6: Oh, come on.

Commandant on the floor!

Commandant inspection!

- Muster up! Let's go. - GUARD 1: Yes, sir.

Line it up!

Move!

Hands on heads!

Hands on your heads!

Drop it! Now!

- Out! Out! - This is not an inspection,

- it is a robbery! - Move!

They've taken the tower and communications.

They're holding hostages, including my wife and son.

Move!

They've already killed, and I am sure that they will do so again,

which is why I am urging you to cooperate.

Enough! Move! Move!

Hey!

You are gonna load us out as fast as possible.

Anyone doesn't want to hustle for the next ten minutes, raise your hand.

All right, up! Up! Up! Up! Let's go!

Two men to a trolley. Let's go!

You got power?

Yeah, I do indeed.

Let's go! Move! Move! Move!

I can't unlock the trays. It takes a signal from Alkenzi.

- Get with the others. - I only control the gate!

- Move! - They won't open!

Do you hear me? I don't control the vault!

Get ready.

Fire in the hole!

They're in.

Go. I'm almost done. I'll be right behind you.

Let's go!

- Let's go! You, here! Move, move! Move! - You, up there! Move! You up there!

(OVER RADIO) Echo-One. Echo-One, on spot. Echo-One. Echo-One, on spot.

Valley-One. Loud and clear.

We've taken the vault and breached the vault door...

In... Repeat. We're in... the freighter now.

Copy that. All good up here.

Get ready. Alkenzi should be calling in soon.

Will do. Valley-One out.

Come on!

Come on!

- Load! - Out of the way!

- Come on! All the way around! - Move! Bring it in!

Get it turned around! Move! Move!

You're taking too long! Let's go! Let's go!

- Go! Get out! Out! Out! Okay! - Come on!

- Faster! Get it round and moving! - Move! Move! Come on, move!

(OVER RADIO) Tower One, this is Alkenzi Wing Command.

Requesting status rep.

We have a vault-breach indicator lighting up over here.

Tower One, please respond.

A vault-breach indicator light has gone off, and we need clari...

Where are we going?

Heading to the vault.

But we'll miss the Eye.

Move! Let's go!

- Let's go! Move! Move! Move! - Move!

Bring 'em in, bring 'em in. Keep loading!

- Come on! - Now! Now!

Move, move, move!

All right! Move! Let's go!

- Keep moving! - Come on!

- Go, go, go! - Move it!

- Get out of here. - Keep loadin'!

- Let's go! - Faster!

- Come on. - Move! Move!

- Come on! Faster! Move! - Move!

- Get loading! - Get it on. Come on.

Come on!

- Move! - That's it. Let's go!

All right, got it.

Move, move! Move! Move!

Keep moving! Keep moving.

Go! Move around him! Move!

Time check!

Five-nine.

Faster! Faster! Faster!

Come on! Let's go! Come on!

Watch yourselves! It's a long way down!

Almost home! Everyone can go home!

Let's move!

Move!

Right, get it out! Out!

What are you doing? You're still loading?

We have two minutes.

I was afraid you'd be leaving!

We need to be locking up!

Easy there... Yeah... Quickly, quickly...

You.

Quit gawking and get pushing.

Close it down! Let's go! Last call!

You'll hang for this.

Seven years serving you? I deserve worse than that.

Are we good to go?

We're good.

Okay, come on! Come on!

Are you crazy?

Just leave it! Get this thing in the air!

What's going on here?

You're off your post, Corporal.

Sorry, sir, but...

This is a classified mission, and you're not cleared to be here.

Commandant?

Tell him, sir. Tell him he needs to leave.

Sir?

I am giving you a direct order, Corporal!

What is going on here?

Sir...

- Go and get us ready! - Cover me!

Now!

I'm pinned down!

Cover me!

No!

Where's Taramyn?

Get this thing in the air!

Go! Go! Go!

Hang on!

- No! - Nemik!

No! No! No!

Lift him!

I can't feel my legs. I can't, I can't feel my legs.

- Nemik. - Hey.

Nemik, can you hear me?

Can you hear me?

I need a flight path.

He's hurt! Hold on!

- What are you doing? - Hold him still.

What is that?

- Med-spike. Keep him still. - Go, go, go.

No.

Where am I heading? I need numbers!

Hold on!

I'm flying blind!

Climb!

Climb? Look out the window.

Climb. Full climb now!

What did you give him?

I'm pegged here!

I don't have the speed to make it!

And now you want me to climb?

Climb!

Dive!

Vector six-five-five-five-one.

Full boost thrust on level!

Come on!

I need to know where we're going.

Is he still with us?

Yeah, you disappointed?

That's not fair.

Where are we heading?

- She wants to bail on him. - He's dying.

You don't know that.

There's a doctor. We have it built into the contingency.

She doesn't want to jeopardize the mission.

This kid, I mean,

this kid is the reason that we are here.

He's alive.

How do we get to the doctor?

You think he'll make it?

He could get lucky.

Yeah, luck.

It drives the whole damn galaxy, doesn't it?

You wanna guess how much is in there?

Eighty million, give or take.

What'd you tell me?

You wanna win and walk away.

Well...

forty million apiece.

Don't tell me you haven't thought about it.

See, I can't fly the trawler, but I do have a safe place we can hole up.

Between the two of us, we could be the winners here.

So no rebellion for you?

Oh, I'm a rebel. It's just, uh...

me against everybody else.

Where would that put me?

Forty million credits is enough for me to forget all about you.

Your brother, with the orchard?

I don't have a brother.

So just leave them here?

Don't play the high mind with me.

You're not here to save anybody but yourself.

I saw it the first minute you came into camp.

You're like me, we were born in the hole,

all we know is climbing over somebody else to get out.

There's a moon eight parsecs from here with nobody home.

Put that thing down,

catch our breath,

split up the winnings, and walk...

Thank you. Thank you for trying.

I did everything I could.

It's not you, Doc.

And it's not what you think, either.

Oh, surprise me.

I'll give you 30,000 credits for the ship in the barn.

That's twice what it's worth.

Excuse me?

Where's Skeen?

Skeen! Skeen!

He's dead.

He wanted to take the money and leave you here.

He wouldn't do that.

You're gonna have to think about that.

You disgusting bastard.

Taramyn warned me.

I'm taking my cut. The number I was promised.

I'm leaving you the freighter and what's inside.

I did my job.

I'm done.

And I wouldn't stick around if I were you.

Return this to your friend.

Wait.

Nemik's manifesto.

He said to give this to you.

I don't want it.

He insisted.

Don't get comfortable. This is not a meeting.

No one is going home.

Tell your staff, tell your families.

I want every Star Sector and Planetary Emergency Retaliation plan

in the building ready for presentation by midnight.

Senator Dhow's proposal is both temperate and timely,

far more reasoned and thoughtful than the calls for decree

we've been hearing from the other side.

There will be a fact-finding commission put in place this session,

and it will prove

that this is a boot to the throats of all Ghormans,

who've done nothing more than request their basic rights.

My bill assails the coarse and blatant domination

of a peaceful and faithful ally.

The blue is lovely.

It's a Devaron blue.

There's an inscription on that one.

In a language no one remembers.

How sad.

No, it's liberating. You decide what it says.

Your own secret language.

Got anything from Aldhani?

Excuse me?

Aldhani.

Big rebel attack last night. It's all the news.

I'll have to look.

Maybe we have something in the back.

Really? I was kidding.
