Yes, well, I'm afraid that's going to be more difficult than anticipated. Their attacks have increased and their long-range missiles are forcing us to retreat from our positions.
With all due respect, sir, the order to attack the cargo vessel was mine. If there's a punishment to be given, it should be directed toward me. I'm their commanding officer.
Oh, do you? You willfully countermand my direct order, and now you have the audacity to request who should bear the punishment of your insurrection!? (To Captain Rex) Let me be clear about the punishment for the treason committed by ARC Trooper 5555 and CT-5597: they will be court-martialed, they will be found guilty, and they will be executed! Make no mistake. For crossing me, you will pay the price.
(while smiling and colliding the missile with the reactor) Live to fight another day, boys, live to fight another day. (explosion occurs, destroying the supply ship)
Wait! This is wrong and we all know it! The general is making a mistake, and he needs to be called on it. No clone should have to go out this way! We're loyal soldiers! We follow orders, but we are not a bunch of unthinking droids! We are men! We must be trusted to make the right decisions! Especially when the orders we are given are wrong!
They're doing the right thing, Dogma. Because if this is how soldiers are rewarded for heroic actions, then one day, every man in this battalion may face a similar fate. Take off their binders.
[after realizing the clones have been tricked into shooting each other] What?! [runs back to the scene, frantically waving his arms] Everyone, stop firing! We're shooting at our own men! They're not Umbarans! They're clones! Take off your helmets! Show them you're not the enemy! [removes his helmet] They're clones!
Everyone, stop firing! Cease fire! They're not Umbarans! They're clones! [tackles a shooting clone, takes off his helmet and holds him up to the so called 'enemy'] Look! We're clones! We're all clones! [clones stop firing and realize they're shooting each other]
It... It was General Krell. He sent us to these coordinates to stop the enemy. We thought they were wearing our armor, but it was... You. [sheds a tear and dies]
[to the clones] We all know who's responsible for what happened out there. What we don't know is why. Something has to be done. What I'm proposing is highly treasonous. If any man chooses to opt out, do it now. [the clones take a step forward] From this point forward, we are entering uncharted territory. My orders are, we arrest General Krell for treason against the Republic.
Captain, we've repaired the transmitter. It looks like it was sabotaged. We've received a message from General Kenobi. His forces have captured the capital, but the remaining Umbarans are heading here.
[he force-pushes all clones away] You dare to attack a Jedi?! [He ignites his lightsabers. The clones open fire, Krell kills many of them] I will not be undermined by creatures bred in some laboratory! [he jumps out the window and escapes]
A Jedi? [laughs] I am no longer naive enough to be a Jedi. A new power is rising. I've foreseen it. The Jedi are going to lose this war, and the Republic will be ripped apart from the inside. In its place is going to rise a New Order, and I will rule as part of it.
Not yet, but when I get out of here I will be. After I succeeded in driving the Republic from Umbara, the Count will reward my actions and make me his new apprentice.
[takes one blaster out of its holster] Turn around. Step toward the wall. [Krell rolls his eyes and turns around] On your knees. [Jesse deactivates the cell ray shield]
[kneels to the floor] It feels good, doesn't it? But I can sense your fear. [Rex's hand is shaking] You're shaking, aren't you? What are you waiting for? The Umbarans are getting closer.
You can't do it, can you? Eventually, you'll have to do the right thing and-- [A laser hits Krell in the back, killing him. It is revealed Rex didn't kill him, but Dogma did using Fives' gun]
I used to believe that being a good soldier meant doing everything they told you. That’s how they engineered us. But we’re not droids. We’re not programmed. You have to learn to make your own decisions.
