[Kanan and Sabine are dueling each other. Kanan tries to force Sabine to admit the truth about her past.]
The truth ... is that...I left to save everyone! My mother! My father! My brother! Everything I did was for family! For Mandalore! I built weapons. Terrible weapons. The Empire used them on friends. On family. People that I knew. They controlled us through fear. Mandalore ... fear of weapons I helped create! ...I helped enslave my people! I wanted to stop it. I had to stop it! I spoke out. I spoke out to save them. To save everyone! And when I did ... my family didn't stand with me. They chose the Empire. They left me. Gave me no choice. The Empire wanted to destroy worlds, and they did. They destroyed mine.
[Maul is searching the Jundland Wastes for Obi-Wan Kenobi, with Tatooine's twin suns beating on him from directly overhead]
Lost... I... I am lost. And yet, I can feel... his presence. So close, so close... I can... see him, in my mind's eye...
[Maul pauses]
Kenobi... [screaming] KENOBI!!!!!!!!!!
[Maul's scream echoes across the canyon walls. There is only the sound of the blowing wind and sands. Maul leans on his cane.]
... Will it end here, like this? No... [goes to stand back up] No!
[disdainful] Look what has become of you. A rat in the desert.
OWObi-Wan
[unruffled] Look what I have risen above.
I have come to kill you, but perhaps it's worse to leave you here, festering in your squalor.
OWObi-Wan
If you define yourself by your power to take life, your desire to dominate, to possess... then you have nothing.
[Maul growls angrily and ignites one half of his lightsaber, putting out Obi-Wan's campfire.]
And what do YOU have?! Why come to this place? Not simply to hide... [realizes] Oh, you have a purpose here. Perhaps you are protecting something? No... protecting some-one.
[Obi-Wan ignites his own lightsaber and stands ready; Maul ignites the other half of his lightsaber, and both he and Obi-Wan prepare to fight. After several long moments, Maul charges furiously at Kenobi. Maul and Obi-Wan exchange three blows before Obi-Wan cuts through Maul's lightsaber, after Maul attempts to use the same move he did on Qui-Gon Jinn. After a short pause, Maul realizes he has been hit, and he falls to the ground, his lightsaber cut in half. Obi-Wan holds Maul as he dies.]
[mortally wounded] Tell me... is he the Chosen One?
[Maul succumbs to his wound. Obi-Wan closes Maul's eyes.]
[Bendu lies seemingly defeated at Thrawn's feet, who approaches the being with his blaster drawn]
TThrawn
What manner of creature are you?
BBendu
One... beyond your power to destroy.
TThrawn
It would not seem so.
BBendu
You cannot see...but I can.
TThrawn
What? What do you see?
BBendu
I see your defeat...like many arms surrounding you in a cold embrace.
[Thrawn, visibly unnerved, shoots him, only for the Bendu to disappear, laughing.]
FRFenn Rau
I'm surprised to see you so swayed by Sabine Wren. You seem to be as impressed with her as I am.
BKBo-Katan Kryze
I had my doubts, Rau, but she came back to face her past and her bold initiative has impressed me. She has become a courageous leader. She reminds me of the best of who we were, and could inspire us to become more than we have been of late.
SGSaw Gerrera
Members of the Alliance to restore the Republic...
SGSaw Gerrera
Your losses today stem from your leaders' cowardice. Their unwillingness to take decisive action against the Empire. All across the galaxy, your people suffer while the leaders of this (chuckles)... "Rebellion" refuse to act.
RGRebel guard
(to Mon Mothma) Should I shut it down?
MMMon Mothma
No. I want to speak to him.
SGSaw Gerrera
(sarcastically) Madame Senator. I'm honored.
MMMon Mothma
What is your business here?
SGSaw Gerrera
You ignored my warning about the Jalindi relay and paid the price. Now, you have confirmation, yet still, you refuse to destroy it!
MMMon Mothma
So long as our allies in the Senate have hope of a peaceful resolution to this conflict, I will not risk--
SGSaw Gerrera
If you continue to allow this war to be fought on the Empire's terms -- not yours -- you are going to lose!
MMMon Mothma
I will not be lectured on military strategy by a man who has proven himself a criminal.
SGSaw Gerrera
The Empire considers both of us criminals. At least I act like one.
MMMon Mothma
You target civilians! Kill those who surrender! Break every law of engagement! If we degrade ourselves to the Empire's level, what will we become?!
SGSaw Gerrera
THERE she is! That's the leader the Rebellion needs. Where is that fire, that passion, when your people need it most?! I hope, Senator, after you've lost and the Empire reigns over the galaxy unopposed, you will find some comfort in the knowledge that you fought according to the rules.
MMMon Mothma
That's enough.
SGSaw Gerrera
What are you afraid of, Senator? The truth?
(as she tortures Hera) You have a lovely voice, General Syndulla.
[Thrawn enters]
GAGrand Armiral Thrawn
Has she revealed the location of the Rebel fleet?
(smirks) Oh, I haven't begun asking questions yet.(shocks Hera again)
GAGrand Armiral Thrawn
Then allow me.
I'll die before I tell you anything.
I imagine you will, General. Like so many of your friends in the failed attack, and so much of your family back on Ryloth. (holds up her Kalikori) I wanted to ask you about your Kalikori; I like to know the deeper meanings of the pieces I collect. To me, they are not merely trophies, but... symbols, that truly represent some of my greatest adversaries.
(scoffs) You don't need to know what it means... since I'll be taking it back!
From my own analysis, I have determined that, these shapes represent individuals important to you at some time in your life. This design, I found most interesting. For, it seems to refer to a... brother. (Hera looks away) One who died, while he was still quite young. I imagine it is a... bittersweet memory for you?
You aren't worthy of holding that, let alone understanding it!
Of course. I do apologize. However, its legacy likely ends with you. You should take heart, knowing that this work of art is... at least appreciated by its new owner. Governor Pryce, I'll leave you to complete her interrogation.
[He leaves]
I don't care much for art. (she shocks Hera again)
[Thrawn is conferencing with a hologram of Grand Moff Tarkin]
Your TIE Defender project is at risk. Orson Krennic has been quite persuasive about diverting the funding to his own project: Stardust.
The Emperor has assured me that he supports my project.
In my view, Director Krennic's project has been nothing but expenses and excuses for years on end. You must make your case directly to the Emperor himself. I have already arranged the meeting.
I'll leave immediately, Moff Tarkin. [Thrawn terminates the conference with Tarkin and then contacts the Chimaera's bridge] Commander, inform Governor Pryce I'm departing for Coruscant. As soon as you have your course, make the jump into hyperspace.
