[The Mandalorian has brought Grogu to Tython, but had just been repulsed by the Child's meditation field out of a desperate need to get out of there upon seeing a spacecraft land nearby. He runs into Boba Fett.]
I’ve been tracking you, Mandalorian.
The Mandalorian
Are you Jedi? Or are you after the Child?
The Mandalorian
If you want my armor, you’ll have to peel it off my dead body.
I don’t want your armor. I want my armor that you got from Cobb Vanth back on Tatooine. It belongs to me.
The Mandalorian
Are you Mandalorian?
I’m a simple man making his way through the galaxy. Like my father before me.
The Mandalorian
Did you take the Creed?
I give my allegiance to no one.
The Mandalorian
The Beskar belongs to the Mandalorians. It was looted from us during the Purge.
The armor was my father’s. Now it’s mine.
The Mandalorian
What’s to stop me from dropping you right where you stand?
Because I have a sharpshooter up on that ridge with a locked scope that will unload by the time my body hits the ground.
The Mandalorian
I’m the one wearing Beskar. As soon as I see that muzzle flash, you’re both dead.
I didn’t mean she was going to shoot you. My friend’s locked onto that little companion of yours up on the henge. [points to person atop a nearby boulder]
FVFemale Voice
And if you remember, I don’t miss.
The Mandalorian
[recognizes it] Fennec?
You have a keen ear, Mando.
The Mandalorian
You point that gun away from the kid or I’ll drop you both where you stand.
Let’s all put down our weapons, have a chat. There’s no need for bloodshed.
The Mandalorian
Tell her to drop the gun.
After you put down the jetpack.
The Mandalorian
Same time.
[to Fennec as he and Mando do it] Stand down.
You look like you’ve just seen a ghost.
The Mandalorian
You were dead.
She was left for dead on the sands of Tatooine, as was I. But fate sometimes steps in to rescue the wretched.
In my case, Boba Fett was that fate. [reveals cybernetics in her torso] And I am now in his service.
The Mandalorian
It goes against the Mandalorian Creed.
The armor was given to my father, Jango Fett, by your forebears. In exchange, I guarantee the safety of the Child, as well as your own.
The bounty on your little friend has risen significantly. You can buy ten suits of armor for the price on its head.
I’d say we’re offering a fair deal under the circumstances.
[The Mandalorian has just perused the wreck of the Razor Crest, only finding Grogu's favorite control knob and the Beskar spear]
The Mandalorian
This is all that survived. [shows Boba Fett the spear]
Beskar. I want you to take a look at something. [shows Mandalorian-language holographic symbols from his forearm] My chain code has been encoded in this armor for 25 years. [points out symbols] You see, this is me. Boba Fett. This is my father, Jango Fett.
The Mandalorian
Your father was a Foundling.
Yes. He even fought in the Mandalorian Civil Wars.
The Mandalorian
Then that armor belongs to you.
The Mandalorian
Then our deal is complete.
The Mandalorian
How so?
We agreed in exchange for the return of my armor, we will ensure the safety of the Child.
The Mandalorian
The Child’s gone.
Until he is returned to you safely, we are in your debt.
If you get scanned and your genetic signature shows up on any New Republic register, you're gonna be detected, and it's guns out.
You sure know a lot about Imperial Remnants.
If you wanna accuse me of something, then just say it.
The Mandalorian
We don't have time. Fennec will go.
No, I'm wanted by the ISB. I'll trip the alarm.
The Mandalorian
Fett?
Let's just say they might recognize my face.
Hey, I'm just a realist. I'm a survivor, just like you.
The Mandalorian
Let's get one thing straight: You and I are nothing alike.
I don't know. Seems to me like your rules start to change when you get desperate. I mean, look at ya. You said you couldn't take your helmet off, and now you got a stormtrooper one on, so what's the rule? Is it that you can't take off your Mando helmet, or you can't show your face? 'Cause there is a difference. Look, I'm just sayin', we're all the same. Everybody's got their lines they don't cross until things get messy. As far as I'm concerned, if you can make it through your day and still sleep at night, you're doin' better than most.
[The Mandalorian brings Moff Gideon and Grogu to the bridge, with Darksaber in hand]
He brought him in alive, that’s what happened. And now the New Republic’s gonna have to double the payment.
That’s not what she’s talking about. Why don’t you kill him now and take it? It’s yours now.
The Mandalorian
What is?
The Darksaber. It belongs to you.
The Mandalorian
No... [offers it to Bo-Katan] it belongs to her.
She can’t take it. It must be won in battle. In order for her to wield the Darksaber again, she would need to defeat you in combat.
The Mandalorian
I yield. It’s yours.
[smug] Oh, no. [laughs] It doesn’t work that way. The Darksaber doesn’t have power. The story does. Without that blade, she’s a pretender to the throne.
The Mandalorian
Come on, just take it.
Well, perhaps she’ll get another crack at it.
[a man in black had just flown in into Moff Gideon's Arquitens cruiser, destroyed the Dark Troopers, and reached the bridge. The man takes off his cloak, revealing himself as Luke Skywalker]
The Mandalorian
Are you a Jedi?
LSLuke Skywalker
I am. [to Grogu] Come, little one.
The Mandalorian
[sees Grogu hide behind a seat] He doesn’t want to go with you.
SSkywalker
He wants your permission. He is strong with the Force, but talent without training is nothing. I will give my life to protect the Child... but he will not be safe until he masters his abilities.
The Mandalorian
[holds Grogu and brings him to Luke] Hey, go on. That’s who you belong with. He’s one of your kind. I’ll see you again. I promise. [Grogu touches Mando's helmet, prompting him to reveal his face to him. Grogu touches his face and Mando gets teary-eyed] All right, pal. It’s time to go. Don’t be afraid.
[Grogu holds on to Mando's leg until R2D2 appears. Grogu comes up to R2, and they are comfortable with each other. Grogu opens his arms for Luke to carry him]
SSkywalker
May the Force be with you. [Grogu takes one last look back as he leaves with Luke and R2]
[Grogu has picked up one of the Anzellan droidsmiths repairing IG-11]
AAnzellan
No! No! No! No! No! No, down, down!
The Mandalorian
No! Grogu! He's not a pet!
AAnzellan
No squeezie! Not squeeze, not squeeze! [The Mandalorian frees the Anzellan from Grogu's grasp] Bad baby. Oh, he's a bad baby.
The Mandalorian
Sorry about that. He's young.
AAnzellan
Yeah, bad baby. Oh!
[Grogu reaches for the Anzellan]
The Mandalorian
No, Grogu!
