[the Mandalorian has detected a group of Imperial soldiers at the far end of a lava tunnel]
They will not be satisfied with anything less than the Child. This is unacceptable. I will eliminate the enemy, and you will escape.
You don't have that kind of firepower, pal. You wouldn't even get to daylight.
That is not my objective.
We're getting close. Saddle up.
I still have the security protocols from my manufacturer. If my designs are compromised, I must self-destruct.
What are you talking about?
I'm not permitted to be captured. I must be destroyed.
Are we gonna keep talking or we gonna get outta here?
[puts down the jetpack] I can no longer carry this for you. Nor can I watch over the child. [passing the Child to the Mandalorian]
Wait. You can't self-destruct. Your base command is to watch the child. That supersedes your manufacturer's protocol, right? Right?
This is correct.
Good. Now grab a blaster and help us shoot our way out.
Victory through combat is impossible. We will be captured. The Child will be lost. Sadly, there is no scenario where the Child is saved in which I survive.
Listen, you're not going anywhere. We need you. Let's just come with a-
Please tell me the Child will be safe in your care. If you do so, I can default to my secondary command.
But you'll be destroyed.
And you will live, and I will have served my purpose.
[emotional] No. We need you.
There is nothing to be sad about. I have never been alive.
I'm not sad.
Yes you are. I'm a nurse droid. I've analyzed your voice. [caressing the Child in farewell]
IG! [sees droid step off the boat into the lava stream] What are you doing?!
[IG-11 marches through the lava stream to the mouth of the tunnel, with the Stormtroopers lying in ambush]
Manufacturer's protocol dictates I cannot be captured. [opens breastplate to reveal an active grenade] I must be destroyed. [blows up, killing the Stormtroopers]
