Which means I'll be making Ahsoka your personal bodyguard.
Ahsoka Tano
At your service, my lady.
If there's trouble, Ahsoka will get you, the queen, and the rest of your staff to safety.
SPSenator Padmé Amidala
What about you?
Hopefully, I'll be where I always am.
Ahsoka Tano
[laughs] He means saving the day.
SPSenator Padmé Amidala
Of course he does.
Ahsoka Tano
Uh, shouldn't we be getting back to the cruiser?
Nah, I'm hungry... tired of those government rations. Hey, looks like trouble. Come on.
LLou
[holding a frying pan] Hey! What are you doing?
We don’t want any trouble. We’re only trying to help.
PDPolice droid
Lou! Are you crazy?! Pointing that thing at a Jedi? Put it down now!
I sense fear in you, Ahsoka.
Ahsoka Tano
The rebels are divided. If they try to rescue the king now, I'm afraid we might lose them.
We cannot control their fate.
Ahsoka Tano
It's just, they're risking their lives to save just one.
Do not underestimate the king's power. He represents hope and is critical to their success.
Ahsoka Tano
I feel responsible for them.
I know you do, Snips, but remember, purpose must come before feelings.
Ahsoka Tano
I know, Master.
Step in only if you must, but remember, if this experiment is to become an effective strategy, they must learn to survive on their own.
Ahsoka Tano
Yes, Master Kenobi. I understand.
Ahsoka Tano
Look out, incoming missiles!
No problem. [Gets hit and fighter gets coated with buzz droids] Uh... slight problem. [The buzz droids unfold and flood his ship, trying to tear it apart] Ahsoka, I got buzz droids. How bad did you get hit?
Ahsoka Tano
I'm all clear.
What? You always have it easy, Snips.
[Anakin and Ahsoka corner Letta in an alley]
Ahsoka Tano
Letta, stop!
LTLetta Turmond
Let me go!
Ahsoka Tano
Running means you know more than you're telling us.
LTLetta Turmond
Jackar is dead, and now you're trying to blame his murder on me!
Nobody ever said he was dead.
Ahsoka Tano
But running proves you had something to do with the bomb.
LTLetta Turmond
You don't know what you're talking about.
Ahsoka Tano
People blamed Jedi because of you! People were killed because of you!
LTLetta Turmond
You can't prove anything.
Did you feed the nano-droids to Jackar? You will answer me! NOW!
[brief pause]
LTLetta Turmond
[sighs] I did feed the nano-droids to Jackar.
Ahsoka Tano
[in disbelief] You set up your own husband to die?!
LTLetta Turmond
You're dealing with things you don't understand.
Ahsoka Tano
Oh, where you're going, you'll have plenty of time to explain everything.
The suspect has killed three clones-- code red. If you see the target, shoot to kill.
[arrives with Captain Rex] Belay that order, Commander Fox.
I know Commander Tano. She would never do something like this.
[To Commander Fox and Captain Rex] Quiet! [To Ahsoka] Ahsoka! It's me, Anakin. Stop running.
Ahsoka Tano
You can't help me, Master. Someone's setting me up.
Ahsoka Tano
But no one else will.
Keep searching until we find her. Rex, call security. Tell them we need to search the entire base. Now!
General Skywalker has just issued an all-points bulletin on Commander Ahsoka Tano. She's killed three clones and should be considered armed and dangerous.
Ahsoka, what are you doing?
Ahsoka Tano
You didn't even try to come and help me.
They wouldn't let me in to talk to you.
Ahsoka Tano
You could have if you tried.
How would that look, Ahsoka, huh? Forcing my way in would've make you look even more guilty.
Ahsoka Tano
[almost tearfully] I'm not guilty!
Then we have to prove you're innocent. The only way we can do that is by going back.
Ahsoka Tano
I don't know who to trust.
Listen, I would never let anyone hurt you, Ahsoka, never. But you need to come back and make your case to the Council.
Ahsoka Tano
No. I am not going to take the fall for something I didn't do!
I am ordering you to put down your lightsaber and come with me now! Trust me.
General Skywalker, where are you?
Ahsoka Tano
I do trust you, but you know as well as I do that no one else will believe me. Anakin, you have to trust me now.
Ahsoka Tano
I know you do. Wish me luck. [jumps from the sewer to a ship heading down to the Underworld]
[Ahsoka and Ventress are surrounded by Commander Wolffe and a squad of shock troopers]
Ahsoka Tano
Listen to me. I don't want to fight.
We're taking you in now, Commander!
Ahsoka Tano
That's not gonna happen, trust me. Now, I'm not going to hurt any of you. We're not going to hurt any of you, but you're not taking me in.
Commander, we are taking you in.
[activates her lightsabers] Let's play. [starts swinging her lightsabers wildly]
Ahsoka Tano
Ventress, don't!
Padawan Tano, serious charges have been levied against you. How plead you?
Ahsoka Tano
Not guilty, Master. I would never take the lives of innocents. The values of the Jedi are sacred to me.
The evidence is to the contrary. You were alone with Letta Turmond when she died. Can you explain this?
Ahsoka Tano
Someone used the Force against her.
Which brings us to Ventress. Can you explain your association with her?
Ahsoka Tano
We had a mutual understanding. I thought she was helping me.
Did she help you acquire the nano-droid weaponry found when you were apprehended, the same devices used in the bombing of the Temple?
Ahsoka Tano
No. I was set up and deceived, as you are being deceived now.
The question is, Padawan Tano, who is deceiving us: Ventress, you, or someone else?
Ahsoka Tano
I am not deceiving you! I would assume Ventress is, but I can't be sure. My sense is… clouded.
Clouded by the Dark Side these things are, Padawan Tano. Dangerously clouded, but not just surrounding you, surrounding many things in these times.
You've already made your decision, haven't you?! This meeting is just a formality!
[sighs] Reached a decision we have, though not in total agreement are we.
It is the Council's opinion that Padawan Ahsoka Tano has committed sedition against the Republic. And thus, she will be expelled from the Jedi Order. [Ahsoka looks up in shock]
You can't do this! [tries to butt in, but is held back by two temple guards]
Your Padawan status will be stripped from you, and you shall forfeit all rank and privileges within the Grand Army of the Republic. You will be turned over to the Republic courts to await your trial and whatever punishments they will set for you. [A guard snaps Ahsoka's padawan braid off her head as tears cloud her eyes] Henceforth, you are barred from the Jedi Order.
Ahsoka, I am so sorry about everything.
You have our most humble apologies, little 'Soka. The Council was wrong to accuse you.
STSaesee Tiin
You have shown such great strength and resilience in your struggle to prove your innocence.
This is the true sign of a Jedi Knight.
This was actually your great trial. Now we see that. We understand that the Force works in mysterious ways. And because of this trial, you have become a greater Jedi than you would have otherwise.
Back into the Order you may come.
They're asking you back, Ahsoka. [Holds out Ahsoka's padawan braid to her] I'm asking you back. [Ahsoka looks from Anakin to the padawan braid and back again before closing Anakin's hand around the braid. Anakin looks hurt]
Ahsoka Tano
I'm sorry, Master, but I'm not coming back. [leaves the temple. All the council members look hurt. Anakin walks out and goes after Ahsoka]
Ahsoka, wait! Ahsoka, I need to talk to you. [Catches up to Ahsoka, who stops and turns to Anakin. Anakin sighs] Why are you doing this?
Ahsoka Tano
The Council didn't trust me, so how can I trust myself?
What about me? I believed in you. I stood by you.
Ahsoka Tano
I know you believe in me, Anakin, and I'm grateful for that. But this isn't about you. I can't stay here any longer, not now.
The Jedi Order is your life. You can't just throw it away like this! Ahsoka, you are making a mistake.
Ahsoka Tano
Maybe, but I have to sort this out on my own, without the Council and without you.
I understand. More than you realize, I understand wanting to walk away from the Order.
Ahsoka Tano
I know. [She turns and Anakin watches her until she disappears down the steps of the Jedi Temple]
