So, searching for a more fluid banking situation, are we?
What will it cost?
I have a 14-year-old son.
I'd like to bring him with me.
- I'm not asking for betrothal. - Then what are we talking about?
An introduction.
Your daughter is 13. She'll soon come of age.
Two young people.
Attractive and privileged Chandrilan citizens.
What makes you think I approve of that tradition?
Our position sometimes makes decisions for us, don't you find?
I'm only here for another couple of days.
Maybe you'd like to join me.
I'm not sure my husband would approve.
Is he here?
You can stop right there!
You got 15 blasters pointed at you right now!
Does he worry about you?
In what way?
We've just shut down all the comms.
We freeze the zone during an audit.
It's supposed to stop things sneaking away while we're doing all our counting.
Nothing.
Radio silence. Nobody's checked in.
I need to be at the gallery.
I can't help anyone from here. I need serious comms.
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.
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.
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.
Let your weapon fall.
He's out! He's getting away!
Come on!
Bring it down!
G-G-Go! We're g-getting away!
- They'll never catch us now. - He's coming back!
Behind you, Bee.
C-C-Clear the way.
Thank you.
Look out.
Here she comes.
Mmm. There's a place right here.
Yeah. Pay him no mind, Talia.
Some of us haven't had seconds yet.
Some of us need more than others.
All your whinin'.
Like you don't all eat your fill every time you sit down.
And, uh, who's helping me bring all that's left back up the mound tonight?
Oh, I think we have a volunteer.
Be back in a minute. Keep an eye on my bowl, would you?
No guarantee.
Sorry, I tried to get here earlier, but…
You've got a lot going on.
Still no Cassian?
I got the call from Six Hundred this morning.
I wish I had better news.
We're next on the inspection schedule.
How soon?
They finished there today, so…
tomorrow?
- Are they checking visas? - It's random.
They found a group hiding last night in Six Hundred.
Sometimes, they walk right by.
It's a big risk.
Where can we go?
This is the best I could do.
It's an Emergency Work Order for the Eight Hundred Block.
Three sweepers that need fixing.
You head out tonight, wait till they finish poking around here,
then circle back 'round in a few days.
Is it legit?
I had to change the date.
You only use it tonight if you got stopped.
Sorry about this, Kellen.
- You've been a savior. - Please.
You know Cassian's friend?
The big boss?
If you do and don't want to say so, that's fine.
But someone needs to tell him what's going on here.
It's going on everywhere.
Why can't they just leave us in peace?
Keep your head down.
Ah.
I was getting worried.
My gown got snagged.
Oh, no. Is it all right?
I think I stopped in time.
It's fine.
Really is.
Are you nervous?
Of course I'm nervous.
I was awake all night worrying about you.
Are they all out there?
They can wait.
My mother was drunk when I got married.
This room.
Right here.
Just like this.
I was so angry, I don't think I ever forgave her.
But I could never understand why she'd done it until just now.
What are you doing?
I need to tell you
what my mother never told me.
Look at me.
Nothing on the other side of that door matters.
Not the guests, not the gifts, not the… trouble that's gone into it,
none of it matters.
Money, embarrassment, pressure…
Wha… What are you saying?
We can walk out there right now,
tell them all to have a lovely afternoon,
but that it's not yet time for a marriage.
We can put it off.
And it will be remembered as an act of great bravery,
I promise you.
You do not have to go through with this.
I wish you were drunk.
Wait.
You're to stand behind me.
- Mother. - Hello.
Hello.
Oh.
Um, Mother…
this is Dedra.
Eedy, please.
It's such a pleasure to finally meet you.
Finally, indeed.
My word! It's a palace.
Thank you. It's home.
You look nothing like what I expected.
Here, let me… get your coat.
How refreshing.
One longs for courtesy, don't you think?
Yes, absolutely.
And there is so little of it.
What can I get you to drink?
Don't you wonder what I thought you'd look like?
I'm afraid to ask.
Do you have spiced tea?
- Since when are you drinking spiced tea? - "When?"
I see you so rarely.
Are we not allowed to change?
Well, we don't have spiced tea.
Uh…
They're still open downstairs.
Syril, please, no.
No. I'll have what you're having.
There's a shop in the arcade.
No, please.
I did not come all this way to see Syril disappear again.
Show me your wonderful home.
Coruscant Forecast 2665, clearing open signal.
Please identify and repeat.
I need a weather report.
What's your location?
I'm in transit.
And where's our freighter? We've had no word from the relay pilot.
You won't be hearing from him.
It's just me. I… I'm calling you from the freighter.
Let's start over. What's your location?
This is not the ship I was trained to fly. Did you know that?
Did anyone know that?
I can't fly the ship. The drop is compromised.
I've been upside down for two days!
Find me someplace safe. And dry.
Let me work on that, keep this signal open.
- I need to call home. - No.
Don't do that.
Come again?
It's very crowded there right now.
What does that mean?
Just give me a few minutes.
Why can't I call home?
You won't get through, there's a frequency blockade.
What's going on there?
I don't know, which is why I'm telling you to keep the signal open and…
Children have so much to teach us.
It's a lesson that never ends.
Syril's imagination had always fascinated me.
- Mother, you're dripping. - It's fine.
I suppose we're fascinated by the things we don't understand.
Now, Syril's father fancied himself an adventurer.
It was an expensive delusion.
One day, suddenly, he was gone.
And all we had was each other.
A young, delicate boy with only a mother's love and determination.
If not for the charity of his Uncle Harlo,
I can't imagine where we'd be.
What a difficult time that must have been.
Syril's shared the story with me.
Really?
Well, isn't this a day to remember?
Can I say how pleasing it is to hear
he's found someone with whom he can actually communicate?
- Mother, would you like some… - I'll get there.
Yeah. Yup. Okay.
He's embarrassed.
About what?
Doesn't like being called delicate.
I was just asking if you wanted some more sauce.
Hmm. Oh!
Tell me about your family.
I don't have one.
My parents were criminals.
They were arrested when I was three.
I was raised in an Imperial Kinder-block.
Well…
Nothing delicate about that, is there?
We had everything we needed.
Except a mother's love.
We didn't know what we were missing.
Please welcome the freshly unbraided and forever united
Leida and Stekan.
Where's the other ammo box?
Blanket crate.
If Bee sees you doing that, he's gonna panic.
He's off with Talia and his buddy.
Who's gonna tell him?
I'll do it.
We'll wait to break down a cab.
- When are we pullin' out? - Sundown.
You never cleaned these tools?
We'll do it when we get there.
These are lovely.
Not too sweet.
I was told you like them.
Pleasures of Coruscant.
I told Syril,
when he insisted on playing at police work on Morlana,
that the benefits of life here would become clear by contrast.
What are you saying? That I came home for the cakes?
Well, less said about that, the better.
And I wasn't playing at anything.
Of course not.
Main thing is, we're all here together now.
Yeah.
Be right back.
You'll toughen him up.
I have a different plan in mind.
Mmm, but when I say the word "plan," that makes it sound optional,
which is not the impression you should be taking away.
This game ends now.
You want Syril in your life? You will think before you speak.
I'll make sure he visits twice a month.
I'll make sure that he calls you.
I will guarantee a level of engagement, but it will be inversely proportional
to the volume of anxiety you generate in our lives.
- Quite a mouthful. - I'm not done.
You can spare me the Uncle Harlo testimonials.
I've had a look at his ISB criminal files,
and that is not a story you want to be advertising.
Apparently I've lost count. He's been promoted twice.
Wonderful.
More caf?
Please.
Dedra.
Oh, Syril.
Dedra was just telling me how well you're doing here.
Was she?
And I told her that came as no surprise to me.
That's interesting.
Perhaps some more cakes?
Yes, it is real.
For those of you who are visiting today, this is a Chandi Merle.
It's a temple figure, one of 12
that was stolen 25,000 years ago
when Chandrila was sacked by Rakatan invaders.
Until today, there were only eight of these accounted for.
And only five that had made their way back home.
This is Luthen Rael, everybody,
for those of you who've not met.
Luthen came to me last year with a rumor
that became a possibility, that became an adventure.
And here we are.
Leida…
Stekan…
I gift you this piece of our history.
May it bind you to the land and each other.
Teema!
And welcome home, number nine.
Teema!
- Teema! - Teema!
Teema!
So in the pantheon of Chandrilan weddings, how would you rate it?
I'm afraid it's my first.
Oh, I thought you were a local boy.
Ah, not really.
Well, my father's Chandrilan. I was born in Naboo.
- My mother's Ghorman. - Oh.
He was married. It was a scandal.
Where were you raised?
Well, we weren't really welcome anywhere for a while.
We bounced around until she passed away, and then Mon stepped in.
Oh! Sorry. Erskin, excuse me.
- Sagrona. - Mmm. Sagrona Teema.
Ever thought you'd have a Chandi Merle in your ballroom?
Mon, we'll see you there.
- Come on, Sordo. - Yes, I'm coming.
He puts on quite a show, doesn't he?
Yeah.
He's a lesson for us all.
- What would that be? - Well…
Speak up, stand up, make your point.
Every time I'm with him, I'm reminded how timid I've become.
Every time you're with him?
- Is that a regular occurrence? - I hope so.
He could be very helpful to me right now.
But we'll, we'll discuss all this on Coruscant next week.
Of course.
It's good timing. Listen, I came by now,
I have to leave a little early.
And I don't want to keep abusing your good spirits.
I appreciate that.
I'll call Erskin to set up a meeting.
Sagrona Teema.
Ladies and gentlemen,
if you'd please clear the dance floor at this time.
Thank you.
Please.
Teema!
When were you going to t-t-t-tell me?
I'm telling you now, Bee.
N-N-Now it's t-t-too late.
We won't be away long.
It's too l-l-long already.
Talia has your charger.
How will C-Cassian know where to g-go?
You'll be right here, won't you?
You'll be up on the hill with Talia,
who's nicer than I am.
And she's smarter than I am, prettier than I am.
She knows all your friends and how to make sure you rest when you need to.
We'll be fine, Bee.
We'll have so much fun, we'll forget all about them.
Hey, did you see that ship go by?
I keep hoping it's gonna be Cassian.
I don't think we should wait till sundown.
They're sweepin' the far fields. And they'll be coming back.
We could get pinned down here.
We gotta move.
- Where's Wil? - I thought he was with you.
His speeder's gone.
Are you kidding me?
I have to go.
You have to tell me where.
It's just best you don't know.
- Until when? - I don't know. Until they leave.
There's just no choice.
- What's this? - Stop.
Is that a blaster?
My speeder.
- What? - I left it out front.
There you are.
- Where's the boss? - He's at the silos.
I want these men fed.
And, uh, save two meals.
We'll be back in a bit.
- Sergeant Stang. - Yes, sir.
We'll be back in an hour.
Understood, sir.
Get inside.
I won't tell you again.
You told me he'd stay away from Sculdun.
- He's been pestering him since he arrived. - I know.
I warned you from the start.
I just can't believe it. I've known him my whole life.
People fail. That's our curse.
What would've happened if I wasn't here? Would you have told me?
I'm meeting him next week.
Yes, yes, I would have told you.
I'll warn him off. I'll find what it takes.
I'll get a number.
You know the number.
We'd be vulnerable forever.
You need to be protected.
I'm not sure what you're saying.
How nice for you.
Mon. How weird is this?
Oh.
- Here. - Oh.
- Have an extra celebration. - Oh, really?
Come. Come dance. Come.
Come on.
- Cass? - Hello?
Hello?
Stone and Sky.
- Cass. - Are you there?
- Come in. - Cass.
Hello.
Where is everybody?
They're in the far fields.
Ah.
No sign of your husband?
He'll be back.
Looks like you're, uh,
packing up.
There's an emergency repair in the Eight Hundred, so…
That's a long way to go.
There's no one closer?
It's harvest. Everyone's busy.
Stop right there.
I got one.
Doesn't look very comfortable.
We like it.
I think permanent is what I meant to say.
I know you're illegal.
We've been counting visas.
It's a tough spot for everyone.
The Councils need the help or there's no harvest.
The help is undocumented.
The rules are clear,
but the situation requires… nuance.
It all ends up on me.
That can't be easy.
It's stressful.
I'm always looking for ways to… relax.
My shoulders get sore.
All the hard work…
You must have…
strong hands.
Keep moving.
You're not a local, are you?
He's one of the mechs up the road, isn't he?
You're gonna pretend you didn't tell 'em?
I'm gonna kill you.
On him! Hold him!
You betraying bastard!
Don't move!
Use us up. Turn us in.
You'll pay for this, Kell…
You're lucky we were here.
You wanna think this through.
Please don't.
Please.
I'm begging you.
Oh, but it's such a simple choice.
I said no!
Niamos!
Oh, no, you don't!
Hey! Hey. Hey.
Calm yourself down.
Unit Two. Unit Two. We have a problem out here.
Trouble on site.
All right, stand by.
Sergeant!
Sergeant Stang.
Unit Two.
Unit Two. We need help.
- Corporal Pyke? - Lieutenant!
Come in, Unit One.
Unit One, are you there?
Sir.
- Where's he gone? - It sounded like they were under attack.
Mount up!
Six with me, you five with the prisoner!
- Let's go! - Heading out.
- Let's roll! - Move, move!
- Go, go, go! - Move, move!
You've got five seconds to show your face
before I turn the cannon on that shack.
He tried to rape me.
He's dead.
Step out slowly.
- Thanks. - Thank you, sir.
- Tay Kolma? - Yes.
I wasn't sure.
- Where's Otto? - I don't know.
- I was just called to fill in. - Mmm.
- I was afraid I wouldn't find you. - And here I am.
Who called that in?
- The transport! - What's he done?
- That's a TIE fighter. - That's insane.
Get those comms up.
- Hey! - He's getting away!
Move, move, move!
Hit the speeder!
- Go, go, go! - Get him, get him!
Whoa, whoa!
- Look out! Look out! - Go, go, go, go!
- It's Cassian. - Has to be.
Get the speeder.
Brasso!
Come on. Hey.
Hey, Brasso…
Come on.
Cassian!
Cass!
Cassian!
Hey!
What happened?
We need to go.
We need Brasso.
Get in. Get in!
Come on. Come on!
Niamos!
