Original subtitles

This was last night?

They just moved the body.

- Tell me we are watching this carefully. - Full surveillance.

What happens now?

As a prominent citizen of Ferrix, she rates a big send-off.

They'll want to close Rix Road.

They'll ask for a permit.

They know we won't allow it, but they like to keep asking.

They're building a list of grievances.

We want a funeral.

Excuse me?

You're going to give them a permit.

Keep it small, limit the time, limit the numbers.

We want to put them in a box, stand back and watch.

As you wish.

How much time do we have?

Two days. That's the Ferrix custom.

What's that?

The dead are bricked.

They mix your ashes with mortar and local stone dust,

put your name on and fire it up.

You become a block of Ferrix brick.

And then what?

They find you a wall.

Mysie my.

Prison, haye? Escapers.

Toosie-two.

A thousand each the offer be.

One for each of us, Freedi.

Better fishing on land these times, haye?

Killed our water then, haye?

What?

Not much squiggly now. Not much left.

We meant you no harm.

We killed nothing. Nothing.

Prison done it. Spoilt our water.

All our water. Haye, Freedi?

No biggy dinner tonight like past times, Freedi?

Haye. Water spoil here and far.

- All your scobbin prison. - That's the Empire.

- We were trapped. We were trapped there. - It's their prison.

Ah, always the Empire, haye?

What? What is he saying?

What, what is he saying?

He's saying, alive or dead, the offer goes.

- Toosie-two. - Wait slow down, hey, hang on!

No, no, no. Let's talk. Let's talk.

- Hang on. - Kill anyone they would.

Kill the water. Kill the squigglies.

Care not a snod who they kill, haye?

Scob the Empire.

They not be killing ye.

Naye today.

Wise to be jumping quickly, though.

Where ye be looking to run now, eh?

- Niamos? - Oh.

Niamos. Haye. Niamos.

Oh, yeah.

Can I help you?

My cousin. I understand she shops here.

Senator Mothma?

Are we alone?

You'd like to get something for her?

We have some new pieces in.

Where is he?

She's been collecting jewelry.

I don't have time for this.

We have rules for a reason.

You don't seem to understand that.

I sent up a flag this morning.

- We would have seen it tomorrow. - We?

The Fondor's gone.

Checked the back on the way in.

Everything you're doing right now is wrong.

Tomorrow is too late. Where is he?

You're off the rails. You're lucky he's not here.

I gave him Aldhani.

What have you done lately?

I don't have lately.

I have always.

I have a constant blur of plates spinning and knives on the floor,

and needy, panicked faces at the window, of which you are but one of many.

What information?

I'll make sure he knows where it came from.

Cassian Andor.

The mother died.

I'm leaving in the morning.

Cinta says it's very busy there.

I'll let him know.

Do that.

"The old ways teach us.

"Bound against the wind, tied to shore.

-"Tethered in permanence..." - Seriously? Is that really happening?

- We did it. - You did it.

I thought this was over.

It's back. You're not following the trends.

It's weird. It's stronger here than it is at home.

- But you, you can do what you want. - It's not me.

- Leida. -"True and steady..."

- Perrin? -"...and braided in trust."

No, no, he's strangely open-minded on this topic.

It's her, it's Leida.

"...in the knot, in the binding."

- Oh, no. - She loves it.

And her friends. It's the only thing she shows up on time for, it's mad.

"Yielding in acceptance. Safe in the braid of the..."

- I can't believe this. - She found the elder.

"...braided in trust. The old ways hold us.

"Safe in the knot, in the binding."

Don't tell me you're taking proposals.

"Bound against the wind...

I'm in so much trouble, Vel.

"...Tethered in permanence. Yielding in acceptance."

Last year, I was pulling 100,000 credits

every month from the family trust without a trace.

For Luthen? I had no idea it was that much.

It was so easy. I did it myself.

Set up a stream of accounts. It was like water running downhill.

I'd empty the bottom, and it would just flow. No one the wiser.

A few months ago, I was contacted by one of the bankers back home,

I was warned that Imperial inspectors

might be taking a close look at Chandrilan accounts.

He said they were contacting clients to make sure everything was in order.

I did what I could.

I pulled everything I could access up the hill into the main account.

There was one empty ledger at the end of the line that was off-balance.

But it was so obscure and I just didn't know what else to do.

I was nervous.

I went to Luthen. I told him that I needed help from the outside,

- that I knew the risk... - Tay Kolma.

- Yes. - Hmm.

And you trust him?

Yes, I do.

But then, Aldhani.

Now, suddenly everything was frozen.

I thought Tay could help me replace the credits

and get me started again,

but what he really did was discover just how much more trouble I was in.

Here I am.

How much is missing?

Four hundred thousand.

- And they're looking into this when? - Soon. Very soon.

Does Luthen know?

Some? No. Not really.

He warned me.

Who knows what he knows.

- This can't be exposed. - I know that.

I found a solution.

Auntie Vel.

- There you are. - What are you doing here?

Well, come back to see you.

Hello. How have you been?

- Good. I'm well. How are you? - You are as nearly as tall as me.

What were you doing in there? Practicing the chant.

Huh. How's that going?

(OVER SPEAKER) Tyranny requi...

What's all this?

Good to know.

Put it down or give it back.

I'm in. I'll do it.

- Do what? - Spellhaus power station.

Tell Kreegyr I'm in.

Tell him I'll bring air power, but we take tactical orders from no one.

You've taken a long time coming back to me, Saw.

We get to loot the eastern garrison.

Whatever we can carry off. And I want all the gear that you promised.

You're too late. He's going tomorrow.

We'll be ready. We have charts.

All he has to do is tell us when he wants it,

and agree to my terms. Make it happen.

I think not.

Why?

You were so eager for it.

ISB knows Kreegyr's plan. They'll be waiting for him.

And how do we know this?

I won't tell you that.

And Kreegyr, he doesn't know.

- How do you know I won't tell him? - I don't.

I don't know what you'll do.

It's far from ideal for either of us.

You're willing to burn him.

You're the random factor.

- It's 30 men. - Plus Kreegyr.

So, you know he's doomed.

Which means either you're ISB

or you have someone inside that you are protecting.

Or I'm just a very good listener.

You think it's worth losing Kreegyr?

I did. I'm not sure right now.

What if it was me instead of Kreegyr? What would you do?

Kreegyr doesn't know me. I'm not vulnerable if he's captured.

- Surely you've met him. - I've met him.

I've been in a room with him, but he doesn't know that.

We send people. We drop supplies. We have special radios. He can't hurt me.

Like I can.

It's your decision, Saw.

It's your decision.

But know the choice.

Do we let Kreegyr go down and play the long game,

or do we warn him and throw away a source that's taken years to cultivate?

You have people everywhere, don't you?

- You're avoiding the question. - All of your sources...

Try to concentrate.

There's someone with Kreegyr?

Someone at ISB? Maybe there's someone here with me.

- You're wasting time. - Why wouldn't you?

- You're avoiding the choice. - Who is it? Who is it?

It's Tubes.

He's my man. He tells me everything.

- Tell him. He deserves to know. - What is this?

What kind of game is this?

Oh.

There's no way out alive. Of that you must be sure.

I'm doing this so you'll listen. So, listen.

Kreegyr goes down, the ISB will feel invincible.

They'll feel untouchable. We'll have a clear field to play.

The alternative... Kreegyr pulls out, we wave him off.

They'll know they'll have to wonder.

They'll trust nothing. Just like you're doing right now.

If I were ISB, Saw,

why wouldn't I just send you out there with him?

I didn't want you to have to make this choice.

Thirty men.

Plus Kreegyr.

For the greater good.

Call it what you will.

Let's call it war.

Safe unlocked.

Safe locked.

Where are you?

- He wanted to reopen the offer. - And did you close the sale?

I did. It was more expensive than I hoped, but I wasn't in a position to bargain.

So, you're coming home?

Depends.

I'm most curious about the other piece.

You should come home.

Is it no longer available?

No, it's very much on the table.

The negotiations are ongoing and our representatives are involved,

there's other buyers involved,

your presence would complicate the bidding at this point.

We need that piece. We lose that and we'll have to close shop.

- There's nothing more you can do. - That's never true.

It's a crowded market.

You need to think of the consequences of losing that piece to another collector.

I'm preparing for every outcome.

There's only...

Luthen? Luthen?

This is Segra-Milo Imperial patrol.

Please identify yourself, Haulcraft.

I need an active transponder ID. Preference, Alderaan.

Working.

Sorry, can you repeat back, please?

This is an Imperial patrol. Standby for transponder scan.

ID found.

Yes, this is Alderaan 12912505.

Standby, Haulcraft. Run it.

What's out there?

Arrestor cruiser. Cantwell-class. Three klicks and closing.

Is there something wrong, patrol?

There's been partisan activity in the area.

This is a piracy zone.

Oh, thank you for the warning. I'll be careful.

You'll be standing by is what you'll be doing.

Power the tractor beam.

- How long on the ID? - In the queue, sir.

Decoy burn. Port thruster four. Rev it.

Portside thruster four.

Alderaan Haulcraft,

please disengage any propulsion units and prepare for tractor beacon.

Affirmative, patrol.

I have an engine overheating here, so it may take a moment.

Countermeasures charging.

Check his thermal.

Aberrant heat signature. Port-side thruster.

- Get a boarding team ready. - Prepped and ready, sir.

Tractor beam has been engaged, Haulcraft. Please, power down your stabilizers.

Calibrate tractor force.

Calibrating.

Confirm request, Haulcraft.

Tractor force two.

Sorry, patrol. I'm a one man show here. I have to manual these stabilizers.

ID confirmed, sir. Alderaan Trade Alliance.

- Cancel the boarding? - No.

We can use the practice.

Prepare for boarding and inspection, Haulcraft.

Engage reverse stabilizers on my throttle.

Acknowledged.

- What's he doing? - Tractor force up five.

Does he think he can get away? Increasing five.

Some pirate Haulcraft? Where does he think he's gonna go?

Final warning, Haulcraft.

Power down immediately or risk full consequences.

Countermeasures armed.

What is that?

- No! - From a Haulcraft?

Tractor beacon is failing us.

I can see that. Where's my air wing?

Tractor beacon is down.

Hyperspace calibration complete.

- Xanwan Freight. - (OVER SPEAKER) You busy?

Excuse me? Who is this?

- Are you alone? - I'm not getting picture.

I need to get a message to Maarva Andor.

- Cassian? - Don't. No names.

Where are you?

Tell Maarva I'm okay. Tell her I'm thinking about her.

She'd be proud of me.

And I'll get back as soon as I can. Can you remember that?

- Cass, hang on. - No names!

I'm counting on you, Xan. Just let her know what I said.

Wait.

What?

Cass, I'm sorry.

Your mother's dead.

I thought you left without me.

- Crossed my mind. - Mmm.

- I looked for you but, uh... - I'm sure.

Kloris, we'd like privacy, please.

Ma'am.

What now?

You're gambling again.

- Nonsense. - And here, in Coruscant.

That's ridiculous.

Do you have any idea how tired of this I am?

(OVER SPEAKER) It's a lie.

It's total fantasy. Who's telling you this?

- Please. - No, I'm serious.

Perrin, please.

- Who is saying this? - Just don't.

We'll go back there, right now. We'll put it to an end.

We will not. I've been shamed enough for one night.

You can't live without a casino? Fine.

You go to Canto Bight and do whatever it is you need to do.

But not here.

You promised.

- I've kept my promise! - Keep your voice down.

(OVER SPEAKER) He can't hear me.

This is wrong, Mon.

This is people trying to take you down by coming after me.

You tell me who's saying this and I'll tell you why.

Oh, please.

Where would I get the money?

That's the question that scares me the most.

Someone's lying to you.

On that, we can agree.

"It occurs spontaneously and without instruction.

"Random acts of insurrection are occurring constantly throughout the galaxy.

"There are whole armies, battalions that have no idea

"that they've already enlisted in the cause.

"Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere.

"And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

"And then remember this.

"The Imperial need for control is so desperate

"because it is so unnatural.

"Tyranny requires constant effort.

"It breaks, it leaks.

"Authority is brittle.

"Oppression is the mask of fear.

"Remember that.

"And know this,

"the day will come when all these skirmishes and battles,

"these moments of defiance

"will have flooded the banks of the Empire's authority

"and then there will be one too many.

"One single thing will break the siege.

"Remember this.

"Try."

We've loosened air traffic as you requested.

Pulled back our uniform patrols, relaxed our curfew.

We've baited the trap and opened the door.

We've got recon units prepped and positioned.

I know you've got your own sources out there.

What time is the funeral?

They asked for midday.

We pushed it back two hours.

They slow down a bit after lunch.

And the funeral area?

Right there. That's her box.

We're allowing them half of Rix Road for one block.

We gave them a max of 30 people.

The Daughters pushed back, so we've upped it to 40.

"Daughters"?

The Daughters of Ferrix.

It's a social club.

Andor's mother was a past president.

A local annoyance.

The control position's here, here, and here.

We'll have snipers and a containment unit there.

Containment, yes. Snipers, no.

I want him taken alive.

I want that message passed along the line.

And clearly.

"Where would I get the money?"

"That's what scares me the most."

That's right. Word for word.

Was she more angry about him lying or the possibility of gambling debts?

Hard to say.

Mon Mothma is of great interest here.

Having her husband dig a hole for himself could be helpful in many ways.

Well, it sounded like Perrin had done this before.

They've made some odd banking moves recently.

This would certainly explain it.

Kreegyr. You're missing it.

Keep listening.

You can close out your Anto Kreegyr files.

How many attacked?

They're still counting the bodies.

It's over?

They walked right into it.

It was over before they started.

Prisoners?

Not today.

Take a guess who's not happy about that.

She called in.

He's been talking her down.

(OVER SPEAKER) I just wish I had been part of the conversation, sir.

This wasn't a dialogue, Dedra.

We get nothing from a dead body.

Someone needs to be in the room saying that.

You're missing the point.

Today was about wiping the taste of Aldhani from the Emperor's mouth.

You want to start a conversation?

Find Axis.

That's not him.

(OVER COMMS) Sir? The big man.

We've been played.

Where is he?

Okay.

Make it quick.

I wanted her to leave with me.

- I know. - I came to get her.

She told me.

I couldn't get back.

You shouldn't be here now, Cass.

- But the last time I saw her, we argued. - Don't.

- I told her I was coming back. - Stop.

- I never should have left that morning. - Stop.

She told me you'd say all this.

"Tell him, none of this is his fault.

"It was already burning. He's just the first spark of the fire.

"Tell him, he knows everything he needs to know

"and feels everything he needs to feel.

"And when the day comes, and those two pull together,

"he will be an unstoppable force for good.

"Tell him...

"I love him more than anything he could ever do wrong."

- Hey. - Who's that?

There's different shifts that they're taking.

Street's clear. Hurry up.

- Bix? - Still got friends in the hotel.

- She was alive three days ago. - Why are they keeping her?

She must know something.

We can't just leave her there.

You're gonna take on a full garrison?

I'll take care of Maarva.

You take care of yourself.

It's too late for that.

Any luck?

Was getting worried.

What's the verdict? Has he come home or not?

They seem to think so. They're everywhere.

- There's an ISB supervisor in town. - A woman?

You know her?

Not yet.

This is good.

How is this possibly good?

They'll do the hunting for us.

They'll want him alive.

They'll find him, we'll kill him.

Where will they take him?

The hotel.

So that's our target.

We just need him dead before they start asking questions.

How long do we have before the festivities start?

Few hours. You'll hear the anvil.

- Where's Cinta? - Watching the mother's house.

Oh, forget that. Get her up to the hotel.

I'll have a look around.

What's going on?

Get Cinta. I'll be at the hotel.

What's going on?

I'm not sure.

(OVER COMMS) I can hear music, sir.

Of course I hear it.

I'm just not seeing it.

They've started. They're coming from all over town.

I want everything out here.

Show of force immediately.

Stand to!

Double time, form up.

Let's move!

You call this a perimeter?

Square this away!

Get these people off the streets.

Team one here.

Team two here. Go, go, go!

Team three...

Restrict them!

Move! Move! Move!

Go, go, go!

Move! Move! Move!

Take a unit down there.

You, Captain, take them that way.

- Double the reward. - You found him?

I want twice as much and a ride out of here when it's over.

- Where is he? - Pretend you're arresting me.

- Hey! - What do you think you're doing?

Hey. Move it. Move!

Right, we need to assume the positions.

Secure the perimeter.

Back!

- Which building? - Across the street.

I need two men. He's seen him?

- No, but he's sure he's there. - We're wasting time.

I've got a recon unit on the terrace up there now...

No. I need him alive.

Don't make me say it again.

Sir.

She's here.

It's her.

- What are we doing? - We're wasting time.

Stone and sky. Stone and sky...

Stone and sky.

- Tenek. - Cassian.

Where's Bix?

I'm sorry about your mother.

My name is Maarva Carassi Andor.

I'm honored to stand before you.

I'm honored to be a Daughter of Ferrix,

and honored to be worthy of the stone.

Strange, I...

feel as if I can see it.

I was six, I think, first time I touched a funerary stone.

Heard our music, felt our history.

Holding my sister's hand as we walked all the way from Fountain Square.

Where you stand now, I've been more times than I can remember.

I always wanted to be lifted.

I was always eager, always waiting to be inspired.

I remember every time it happened, every time the dead lifted me...

With their truth.

And now I'm dead.

And I yearn to lift you.

Not because I want to shine or even be remembered.

It's because I want you to go on.

I want Ferrix to continue.

In my waning hours, that's what comforts me most.

But I fear for you.

We've been sleeping.

We've had each other, and Ferrix, our work, our days.

We had each other, and they left us alone.

We kept the trade lanes open, and they left us alone.

We took their money and ignored them,

we kept their engines churning,

and the moment they pulled away, we forgot them.

Because we had each other.

We had Ferrix.

But we were sleeping.

I've been sleeping.

And I've been turning away from the truth I wanted not to face.

There is a wound that won't heal at the center of the galaxy.

There is a darkness reaching like rust into everything around us.

We let it grow, and now it's here.

It's here, and it's not visiting anymore.

It wants to stay.

The Empire is a disease that thrives in darkness,

it is never more alive than when we sleep.

It's easy for the dead to tell you to fight,

and maybe it's true, maybe fighting is useless.

Perhaps it's too late.

But I'll tell you this...

If I could do it again,

I'd wake up early and be fighting these bastards...

Move!

...from the start.

Fight the Empire!

Enough!

No!

Placement!

Let him through! Hold the line!

Let him through!

Let him through.

Hold the line!

Hold the line!

You! Bell tower, make it stop now!

Go!

Hold the line!

I dreamt you came back.

Bix?

You climbed over a wall.

Hey, listen, we gotta get outta here.

Maarva was here.

Wasn't she great?

Get him up!

Move, move!

There's no one out there. Come on.

They'll get angry.

No.

Ah!

Oh, my God...

Come. Come.

There you go.

Come on, let's get moving. Come on.

Keep moving!

There! That's him!

Get him!

- Hold the line! - Open fire!

Fire at will!

Come on!

- Move! - Get him!

Ah!

Ah!

You.

What are you doing here?

Okay.

Do as I say. Move!

Straight ahead. Through the door.

Quickly!

You?

How?

You were in trouble.

Syril.

I knew that.

I should...

I should say thank you.

You don't have to.

What about this?

Everything goes.

- Closet? - Empty.

- You're bleeding. - It's fine.

That's blood.

It's nothing.

It's not mine.

Come on, guys.

The fuel gauge says zero.

I've got nothing.

It's topped out. It's reading full.

Do you wanna come up here and see?

Bang the gauge, Jezz. Just give it a whack.

It's got a few kinks, but it's a good old ship.

I'd have more confidence if you were coming.

It flies.

Pull it! Pull it!

We're full!

Give me those.

Now, go. You go now or forget it.

No.

C-C-Cassian.

- Get it going! - Almost there.

Hey.

- Help her up. - Brasso.

She's coming around. Come on.

Let's get moving!

Come. Come with me.

- Hey, Jezz. - Hey, Cass.

Can they make it to Gangi Moon?

If they ever make it out of here.

You're not coming?

Stay low all the way to Farside Sea.

The moment you get over the water, you climb.

Straight home, full pump, hand throttle, no comms.

All in. You understand?

Yeah.

You're n-n-not coming?

Not today, Bee.

I n-n-never got to see you.

You take care of Bix until I get there.

I'm counting on you.

You always say that.

And you always come through.

Get them out of here!

He'll find us.

Cassian will find us.

I will.

I'll find you.

Now, go! Go, go!

Prepare for evac.

Full stealth.

You came here to kill me, didn't you?

You don't make it easy.

I will now.

What game is this?

No game.

Kill me.

Or take me in.
