How's it look?
It's prepped for a test flight in the morning.
- The password tonight is Kafrene. - Kafrene.
Okay, I got this.
There you are.
- Tay! - How's the bride-to-be?
Very spoiled at the moment.
If not now, when, right?
No notes.
No records.
None of you were here.
Your colleagues? Superiors?
If they're not in this room,
they're not cleared for the project.
You can stop right there!
You got 15 blasters pointed at you right now!
- He's gotta teach her. - Why would he do that?
- If he doesn't, we'll kill him. - He can't teach her if he's dead.
Everything with you is negative.
Like killing the only pilot we have?
We gotta have one of 'em.
You think you're hard to read?
Now you have a plan already. You had it before they finished speaking.
I want your assessment.
Propaganda will only get you so far.
You need a radical insurgency you can count on.
You need Ghorman rebels you can depend on to do the wrong thing.
Once we're in the air, he's in control.
- Why are there two? - You're not getting anywhere.
You're not letting her concentrate!
So, who's really in charge here?
We should've heard from him by now.
I can't transmit from here, Luthen.
I told you when we landed. That's off the table.
What is it?
I'm not sure.
I spoke to Kellen. He said they haven't done this in years.
What are they doing?
An Imperial Supply Census. It's an audit.
If they're checking visas, we have a problem.
He knows that.
I know you said you got my message.
I was hoping we could discuss the Foundation.
Is there a problem?
You were hiding in the bunker.
- You take it back. - Get stuffed!
- Skug! - Why?
All right, get him up! Get him up! Come on, come on!
What is she doing?
She's gotta be close.
If Crab was alive, we'd be hearing him.
She should be searching the middle.
Is that what she's doing?
I can't tell.
- Anything? - Not yet.
He should've been back by now.
Nazy!
There's nothin' here!
Keep looking!
I'm telling you there's nothing!
What did you do with Rika's body?
- What? - Rika's body?
What is he talking about?
They can't find her either.
It's a trap.
They've got to be out there somewhere.
They're messing with us.
No!
E chu ta!
- Don't shoot! It's me! - Don't shoot her!
- Nazy, move! - Hold your fire!
In! In! In!
- What's that? - It's Rika's goggles.
That's all there was.
No body. Just a boot.
- Crab's boot? - You just left it out there?
His foot was still in it!
A stump of bloody foot.
- Animals got 'em. - What else could it be?
- You sure? - I picked it up.
Hey! It's not gonna rain forever.
You might wanna bank some water.
There's a tarp over there.
Before we go in…
I don't want the Ghorman project.
I've thought it through all night. And I don't want it.
Humbling, isn't it?
Both of us reminded of our place in the chain of command.
I'm not sure I know what you mean, sir.
Did Krennic offer you the job?
- You know that he did. - Then it's done. We're in it.
And what about Axis? That's where I belong.
I can't do both.
Axis?
You've invested almost two years.
You've built the legend and delivered almost nothing.
We're getting closer all the time.
"He's here. He's there. He's everywhere."
He's nowhere!
Next time, catch them first.
Then make them famous.
This will appear to be a demotion.
You'll have to play the part. It will heat up soon enough.
This is good news, Dedra.
Ghorman will be yours to run as you wish. You'll only answer to Krennic
and he's got no time for anything but results.
Ghorman is a gift.
Take it.
Then win it.
Please. You wanna turn it.
Help him.
Guide that. That's it.
It's still in one piece?
Good luck getting it out of here.
Now what? We sit all day?
Well, we'll site it. We'll light it.
Sculdun will change his mind and we'll move it.
Then he'll reconsider.
Clean it up and we'll make it lovely and…
Gently there!
Then we'll sit all day.
Nothing.
Radio silence. Nobody's checked in.
I know I said we shouldn't broadcast from here,
but I tried to reach out to Bix.
I never got through.
Mina-Rau's been shut down.
"Temporary reception outage for Imperial inspection."
What kind of inspection?
Wouldn't that be nice to know.
I need to be at the gallery.
I can't help anyone from here. I need serious comms.
I can't leave. You'd have to get a ride.
I've found one.
Good morning.
You ate already.
I was up early.
They're sneaking in Sculdun's surprise.
I'm sure you've heard what it is by now.
Is it really a Chandi Merle?
Yeah, one of them.
It's a bit gross, don't you think? It's probably worth more than the house.
You'll want to put that in your speech.
Last night was successful.
- Two more to go. - Mmm.
You should tell your boyfriend to back off the nog.
And who's my boyfriend?
Oh. What have you done?
Thrown him over?
I don't know who we're talking about.
Tay Kolma. Is he not your lover?
Haven't heard that nonsense in a while.
His wife has run off, so the field is clear.
- He's all yours now. - Stop.
Well, maybe you've all dropped him. That would explain a great deal.
Like what?
It's always best to let them down gently, or so I've been told.
We have a long day, Perrin.
Tay had a bit too much First Night punch.
He had to be taken home.
I mean, it's a full-on Chandi wedding.
He grew up four valleys away, he should know better.
Pace yourself or pay the price.
He was always weak.
Did they remember the juice?
Finally.
I'll load in when I get back.
How's it going?
We're getting there.
I spoke to my friend at Five Hundred.
She thinks they'll finish inspecting up there today.
Where they go next should tell us what direction they're moving, but…
How many are there?
On the ground?
She counted about 40. We don't know what they have in the air.
- What if they come this way? - Look, they need the grain.
They know we need help and they know everyone isn't legal.
How hard they look, what they do…
It's been ten years since the last audit. Nobody's happy.
- Talia thinks they'd let us slide. - We can't count on that.
- What if they ask where we came from? - I wouldn't mention Ferrix.
- What if we stay ahead of them? - I'd be careful.
They caught someone running at Five Hundred.
I'll find out what I can.
Cassian?
He'll be here.
Thank you, friend.
We'll get through it.
I'll stop by later.
Be careful.
Meal bars?
- Nine. - That's it?
- Well, two look a bit moldy. - That's all that's left?
- You voted to eat. - And you should've told us "no."
- How many snak-pods? - Wet or dry?
I'm not eating moldy.
You get hungry enough…
Look, six dry, eight wet.
I'd rather be hungry than sick.
Let's give him a moldy and see what happens.
You know…
they've gone very quiet over there.
You need a perimeter.
I was just about to do that.
That's a good idea.
They must be starving.
How can it smell that bad that fast?
Try it.
No. No.
I don't know.
- Eat it. - Why me?
You'll eat anything. You ate those trogs.
- That was a dare. - Okay, I dare you.
Give it.
If it tastes like it smells…
There are no small jobs here at the Bureau of Standards.
You may hear that and wonder how that can be true, but…
not that long ago, I was standing right where you are now.
I was given a position in Fuel Purity.
Just over there.
I found an entry on a Varnesian input account that didn't match.
Two hundred Kovarn charging rods.
Doesn't seem like much, does it?
Well, I walked it back.
Every shift, I'd make time from my quota to dig just a little bit deeper.
Then one day, after months of searching,
screens started lighting up across the room.
I had uncovered a cabal of corrupt purchasing agents
who were stealing Imperial supplies in four sectors.
There's a future here…
for those who dare.
I can try again tonight.
We better wait.
She's just watching me all the time now.
Everyone's nervous.
My dad even tried and she wasn't having it.
Hey.
Once things calm down, we'll be okay.
Not if you've gone away.
But if we do, I'll come back.
Just promise you won't leave without saying goodbye.
Promise.
Hello, boys.
- Do you take credits? - I can do.
- Any cold drinks? - In the case over there.
Got any Peezos?
Sorry.
Where you coming from?
We just finished Five Hundred.
You boys are working fast. Where to next?
I don't know. You'd have to ask the Lieutenant.
I haven't met him yet.
You will.
He's checking out the storage.
Hello.
Hi.
Just finishing up?
Just replacing the bushings.
Have you seen the new silos?
I have. We were based in the Six Hundred block a few months ago.
I'm not sure they're worth the cost.
I guess we'll know after this next harvest.
I guess so.
So quiet out here.
It's a simple life, isn't it?
It is.
Mechanics, though.
You get to move around a bit, right?
Yeah, it's true.
Have you been to the Rau?
Some of these farmers live their whole lives and never go.
It's not much of a city, but you'd think over time, they'd get curious.
I've been there.
It's changed. Rau.
I hadn't seen it in a few years.
We had a decent meal there last night.
It's not that far.
It's a beautiful ride over the fields.
I'm only here for another couple of days.
Maybe you'd like to join me.
I'm not sure my husband would approve.
Ah.
Sorry to hear that.
Is he here?
He's off-planet for a few days.
Is he a mechanic as well?
A very good one.
Does he worry about you?
In what way?
We've just shut down all the comms.
It's not up to me. It's a policy.
We freeze the zone during an audit.
It's supposed to stop things sneaking away while we're doing all our counting.
That's good to know.
Zala.
I'm done. You ready?
Yeah. Sorry.
Hello.
What's your Council?
We're based in 207.
We move around. We go where there's a need.
Like this.
Well…
nice to meet you.
See you along the way.
I'd come up here with my uncles. It was good hunting.
It was all private back then, of course.
Signs up everywhere. Keep the poachers out.
I remember the signs.
Didn't stop you.
I wasn't much for warnings.
Well, hasn't been bad for business though, has it?
- I've always wanted to. - I see.
Mother wouldn't allow it.
It'll be different now.
Having fun?
When was the last time this happened?
Wedding hike? Perrin and I.
- It rained. - Ah. I remember.
Is Leida happy? Is this really what she wants?
Everything old is new again.
As if I needed another reason to stay away.
What happens at the top? I don't remember.
We gaze at the ancestral lands. Some children sing.
The Elder waves her hand and we'll all have been purified.
No word from your friend?
- Cinta? - Mmm.
No.
Luthen knows, but he won't tell me.
That's not acceptable.
If she wanted to see me, she would.
It was never going to be perfect.
Or good, really.
Bad timing.
I'm sorry.
Well, there's work to be done.
Yeah, we have to live to do it, though, don't we?
- He should be back by now. - I think I know that.
What if they've grabbed him?
We'd hear about it.
- I don't know about that. - They could be messing with us.
Taking it to another level.
- How is that another level? - Snatching him?
- If Plug was a hostage… - That changes everything.
How would that change anything?
We have the pilot.
They have a ship that goes nowhere without us.
- They could have more food than we think. - And you can't trust Plug with food.
He'd flip sides for a meal.
Yeah, he'd sure be at the front of the line.
They don't have any food. Do they have any food on that ship?
No.
We have the food.
Not really.
I just ate my meal bar.
- All of it? - Hold on.
- It's Plug! - Don't shoot!
Oh, oh.
Hang on. Just…
- We were getting worried. - We should be.
- We should be getting worried. - About what?
One, two, three!
They're trying to turn it around.
The guns at the front.
- They're trying to put us down the barrel. - No.
- Look, can they do that? - They're tryin'.
- It moved! - Check it.
Rowd?
Another few centimeters.
Okay. Bit by bit.
That's a lot of bits.
Square up. Let's go.
Do you realize how long this could take?
50 centimeters an hour?
- At most. - All night long?
Let's say it's 50.
Uh, 50 by 10 is…
If they're lucky, they'll make 5 meters by midnight.
They will be close.
Fall back! Fall back!
Fall back! Take cover!
You're back.
I just got here.
It was okay?
Whatever… it was?
It was quick.
Is that everything?
I was sure if I went shopping, you'd be delayed,
and we wouldn't have to do this.
No such luck.
We could… pretend that you're not back.
We can't cancel again.
We can't.
Tomorrow, then.
Hello, darling.
Sagrona teema.
Let me assure you. It's so good to see you.
I've been looking for you.
I have to say, Mon.
This is remarkable.
Mmm.
No one's seen anything like this for a long time.
Well, perhaps there's good reason for that.
And I know apologies are in order.
I've been so distracted by all of this. It's impossible.
I was whining.
It's the last thing anyone wants to listen to.
You've been having a difficult time. That's when we need to be heard.
I have called your office.
And I've been remiss.
The last time we spoke, you told me you had new business coming in.
You told me you were waiting.
I think I told you I was tired of waiting.
This is sounding serious.
It wasn't then.
It might not be now.
I still have several things pending, it's just…
I have concerns.
The Foundation is up and running.
Your financial blemishes have been smoothed over
without anyone being the wiser.
Davo Sculdun obviously has what he came for.
Everyone seems quite pleased with how they've landed,
and I'm left wondering about the risk I've taken on.
Please say something.
I'm shocked.
I'm sorry. I feel terrible. I really had no idea.
Do you know, the irony is it's the rebellion that's hurt me most.
Rebel activity soured my investments.
You can see how I might feel…
undervalued.
Absolutely.
How I wish you'd made this clear sooner.
Yeah, I should've.
Perhaps I thought it was obvious.
If I haven't, I'm sorry for that.
Well…
Let me get through this weekend and I promise we'll figure something out.
I hate having to say all this, Mon.
Oh.
To an old friend?
After all you've done for me? Please.
Now, let's celebrate.
Indeed.
I chatted up one of the soldiers today.
They're moving tomorrow.
Where they headed?
It looks like they're going to Three Hundred next,
but there's no guarantee.
What if we move behind them to Five Hundred
and just wait till they're done?
Most of the arrests have been people running.
There must be work there.
We can't move all this.
They want to know who is living here.
I'll say it's me. I'm legal.
We're doing everything we can.
Thank you.
Don't thank me yet.
Not until these bastards are gone.
We'll have to see what they do.
Just… get prepared.
- He's been chasing you all night. - I'm just stunned.
With no warning?
Well, I suppose I have been avoiding him. Now I know why.
Perrin said he had to be carried home last night.
His wife's left him…
Was there a number?
I said I'd get into it once we'd survived the wedding.
So nothing specific.
Well, he's had some bad investments.
He sees all this…
It's very troubling.
We'll find a number.
Is there any chance he'd go to Sculdun?
No, he wouldn't dare.
He can't.
It's Perrin. He's about to speak. I have to go.
Wait.
We can't leave this be. You must know that.
I will set a meeting on Coruscant with Tay next week.
We will find a number.
Speech! Speech!
Perrin!
Come on, come on!
Thank you.
Sagrona! Sagrona! Sagrona!
Welcome! Welcome.
Praise to the families and clans of Chandrila.
Praise to those who have traveled to share in our most treasured tradition.
As the, uh…
As the father of the intended maiden,
it is my Chandrilan duty to greet you, sagrona…
To toast your health, sagrona teema…
And in our very old ritualistic, and,
well, insanely economic fashion…
…it is also my duty to share
just a single, truthful insight,
sagrona teema solom.
Leida. My sweet Leida.
Stekan…
Pain will find you.
Trouble and disagreement will arrive without summons.
There's no choice in this. There's no effort required.
You simply stand still and the galaxy will deliver
a daily basket of fresh anxieties
to your door without fail.
But my solom…
My solom seyna…
The Elders know what I'm talking about, right?
My hope… My hope…
My hope is that you learn to reach past this constant cloud of sadness.
Pleasure. Gaiety. Amusement.
These are the hidden things.
The music buried beneath all that noise…
Joy. Joy!
Joy…
But joy has no wind at its back.
Joy will not announce its arrival. You need to listen for it,
and be mindful of how fleeting and delicate it can be.
But search out these treasures.
A moment of… of pleasing sensation,
the memory of laughter and good company,
the comfort of a fine meal.
And for me…
For me, right now, it's the smile that I can't hide
as I see these two young people
sharing our greatest tradition.
Sagrona.
Sagrona teema solom!
Didn't get very far, did you?
We're not done yet!
You'll starve before you get there!
What's the plan anyway?
Shoot the pilot?
Kill us all?
That'll get you out of here!
You can't live on these melons!
How's he know that?
They've been sneaking.
What is the plan?
Shut up.
Are you backing down?
I'm dropping a challenge!
We're going out.
No shooting unless they shoot first.
Stand together.
- For Maya! - For Maya!
Let's go, let's go, let's go.
Oi!
Watch him. Eyes open.
That's far enough.
I'll count to three.
Everything… means everything.
On three.
One.
Two.
Three.
What are they doing?
Droppin' their weapons.
You must be awfully desperate.
If you could see what you look like, you wouldn't say that.
Five Hands.
Roski rules.
Everybody hear that?
Roski rules.
What does that mean?
Total submission.
Pick your second.
Rowd, step up.
Bayso.
One, two, three…
Let your weapon fall.
One, two, three…
Don't move, or I'll kill you.
One, two, three…
Come on!
One, two, three…
Come on.
One, two, three…
What was that?
- I keep thinking it's thunder. - It's not.
No, no, no, no, no!
What was that?
Bardi! Gerdis!
Over there! Over there!
Here! The treeline.
Over there! Not this side… in the treeline!
He's getting away!
They're everywhere!
We're surrounded!
The pilot! He's out!
He's getting away!
