LPLom Pyke
You have no business left with the Pykes, Tyranus.
Obi-Wan Kenobi(surprised) Tyranus? You are the man called Tyranus?
I told you everything you needed to know on Geonosis all those years ago, Kenobi. You should've joined me. Sifo Dyas understood. He saw the future. That is why he helped me.
Obi-Wan Kenobi
You lie. Minister Lom, if you’re going to help us, now is the time.
LPLom Pyke
Kill Tyranus! (he and his men open fire on the Count)
(Yoda stands in the Temple courtyard looking at the Great Tree, Mace Windu and Obi Wan Kenobi approach him)
The Council has assembled. They are eager to hear your report.
Afraid, not much there is to say of my journey
(Mace and Obi Wan look at each other)
Obi Wan Kenobi
So nothing significant happened to you out there?
Yes... and no. To the end, we are coming now.
Did your journey give you insight on how to win the war?
No longer certain that one ever does win a war, I am. For in fighting the battles, the bloodshed, already lost we have. Yet open to us a path remains, that unknown to the Sith is. Through this path victory we may yet find. Not victory in the Clone Wars, but victory for all time.
(all three Jedi depart for the Council, camera pans to a closeup of three leaves on the Great Tree, end)
My name is General Mace Windu of the Jedi Order. At this point in the Clone War, I have dismantled and destroyed over 100,000 of you type 1 battle droids. I'm giving you an opportunity to peacefully lay down your weapons so that you may be reprogrammed to serve a better purpose than spreading mindless violence and chaos, which you have inflicted upon the galaxy.
Obi-Wan Kenobi
Well, I guess it was worth a try.
Obi-Wan Kenobi
If Republic forces aid you in your assault, it will break treaties that are 100 years old. We will effectively be drawn into yet another war.
Well, we're not finished with our first one yet.
Obi-Wan Kenobi
I will advise the Jedi Council of this development.
There's no time! Maul's influence on Mandalore is destroying my people! He murdered their ruler, my sister! I thought she meant something to you!
Obi-Wan Kenobi
She did. And still does. But I cannot allow my feelings to cloud my judgement.
So that's it? You're going to abandon Bo-Katan and her people?
Obi-Wan
Ahsoka, surely you understand this is a pivotal moment in the Clone Wars. The heart of the Republic is under attack.
I understand that, as usual, you're playing politics. This is why the people have lost faith in the Jedi. I had too, until I was reminded of what the Order means to people who truly need us.
Obi-Wan
Right now, the people of Coruscant need us.
No. The Chancellor needs you.
Obi-Wan
That's not fair.
Without Maul in custody, this could all fall apart quickly. We must capture him before he escapes.
ATAshoka Tano
He mentioned a name: Darth Sidious. [Obi-Wan's face grows grim]
Obi-Wan Kenobi
I do not know much, but I will share with you what the Council knows. [Rex shoos away the droid so the conversation can be private] Darth Sidious is the Sith Lord who orchestrated the Clone Wars and played both sides of it from the beginning. I first learned the name from Count Dooku, though any chance of learning more about Sidious from Dooku has been lost.
Obi-Wan Kenobi
Because Count Dooku is dead. Anakin killed him while rescuing the Chancellor. With Dooku gone, we've lost a vital link to understanding the mystery of Darth Sidious. If you can capture Maul, he may be able to provide the missing pieces to this puzzle.
ATAshoka Tano
Then send me more men.
Obi-Wan Kenobi
Unfortunately, I cannot. I'm being sent to hunt down General Grievous on Utapau.
ATAshoka Tano
What about Anakin? Maybe he can reinforce us? [Obi-Wan looks troubled]
Obi-Wan Kenobi
May I speak to Ashoka alone for a moment? [Bo-Katan and Rex withdraw] Anakin is on a special assignment by order of the Jedi Council.
ATAshoka Tano
What kind of assignment?
Obi-Wan Kenobi
He has been instructed to observe the Chancellor and report his findings.
ATAshoka Tano
Observe? You mean spy. They told him to spy on the Supreme Chancellor? Why?
Obi-Wan Kenobi
The Senate has allowed the Supreme Chancellor to remain in office long after his term has expired. The Council wants to know what his true intentions are.
The Chancellor has been a great friend and mentor to Anakin. I can’t imagine he is happy about this.
Obi-Wan Kenobi
No. He is not. So perhaps it’s best that you do speak with him.
[scoffs] And what? Defend the Council’s actions? I hardly think I’m the best person for that.
Obi-Wan Kenobi
Ahsoka, the Council isn’t always right. That’s why I’m asking for your help. [Rex comes running over]
Sorry to interrupt, but there's been an attack.
Obi-Wan Kenobi
You had best go.
Obi-Wan Kenobi
I will.
