I'll give you 20 credits for the helmet.
Ha! Not a chance! That's going on my wall.
On your wall?
Go with it.

S1 E15Unfinished Business
[Moff Gideon calls out to Greef Karga, Cara Dune, and the Mandalorian as they try to slip out of their building]
Your astute panic suggests that you understand your situation. I would prefer to avoid any further violence, and encourage a moment of consideration. Members of my escort have completed assembly of an E-Web heavy repeating blaster. If you are unfamiliar with this weapon, I am sure that Republican Shock Trooper Carasynthia Dune of Alderaan will advise you that she has witnessed many of her ranks vaporize mid-descent facing the predecessor of this particular model. Or perhaps the decommissioned Mandalorian hunter, Din Djarin, has heard the songs of the Siege of Mandalore, when gunships outfitted with similar ordnance laid waste to fields of Mandalorian recruits in The Night of a Thousand Tears. I advise disgraced Magistrate Greef Karga to search the wisdom of his years and urge you to lay down your arms and come outside. The structure you are trapped in will be razed in short order and your storied lives will come to an unceremonious end.
He knew my name... I haven't heard that name spoken since I was a child.
On Mandalore?
I was not born on Mandalore.
But you're a Mandalorian.
Mandalorian isn't a race.
It's a Creed.
I1IG-11
This is bacta spray. It will heal you in a matter of hours. You have suffered damage to your central processing unit.
You mean my brain?
I1IG-11
That was a joke. It is meant to put you at ease.
[The Mandalorian, the Child, IG-11, Greef Karga, and Cara Dune enter the Mandalorian covert on Nevarro, but Mando stops at seeing a pile of Mandalorian armor pieces]
We should go.
You go. Take the ship. I can't leave it this way. [to Greef] Did you know about this? Is this the work of your bounty hunters?
No. When you left the system and took the prize, the fighting ended and the hunters just melted away. You know how it is. They're mercenaries. They're not zealots.
[confronts Greef] Did you do this? DID YOU?!
No!
It was not his fault. We revealed ourselves. We knew what could happen if we left the covert. [puts a piece of armour from the pile onto a floating cart] The Imperials arrived shortly thereafter. This is what resulted.
Did any survive?
I hope so. Some may have escaped off-world.
Come with us.
No. I will not abandon this place until I have salvaged what remains. [goes to the forge, and the others see her melt down armour pieces] Show me the one whose safety deemed such destruction.
[IG-11 reveals the Child] This is the one.
This is the one you hunted, then saved?
Yes. The one that saved me as well.
From the mudhorn?
Yes.
It looks helpless.
It's injured, but it is not helpless. Its species can move objects with its mind.
[keeps working] I know of such things. The songs of eons past tell of battles between Mandalore the Great and an order of sorcerers called "Jedi" that fought with such powers.
It is an enemy?
No. It's kind were enemies, but this individual is not.
What is it?
It is a foundling. By Creed, it is in your care.
You wish me to train this thing?
It is too weak. It would die. You have no choice. You must reunite it with its own kind.
Where?
This, you must determine.
You expect me to search the galaxy for the home of this creature and deliver it to a race of enemy sorcerers?
This is the Way.
[Cara warns of Imperial troops about to raid the covert]
I'm staying. I need to help her, and I need to heal.
You must go. A Foundling is in your care. By Creed, until it is of age or reunited with its own kind, you are as its father. This is the Way. You have earned your Signet. [welds a mudhorn-shaped Signet to Mando's right shoulder pauldron] You are a clan of two.
Thank you. I will wear this with honour.
[as explosions occur nearby and Stormtroopers are coming in] We should go.
IG, please guard the outer hallway. A scouting party draws near.
[not comfortable with the Child in her arms] Hang on. I don't do the baby thing.
I have one more gift for your journey. Have you trained in the Rising Phoenix?
When I was a boy, yes.
Then this [turns around with a jetpack in her hands] will make you complete.
Thank you.
When you have healed, you will begin your drills. Until you know it, it will not listen to your commands.
I understand.
[the Mandalorian has detected a group of Imperial soldiers at the far end of a lava tunnel]
I1IG-11
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.
I1IG-11
That is not my objective.
We're getting close. Saddle up.
I1IG-11
I still have the security protocols from my manufacturer. If my designs are compromised, I must self-destruct.
What are you talking about?
I1IG-11
I'm not permitted to be captured. I must be destroyed.
Are we gonna keep talking or we gonna get outta here?
I1IG-11
[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?
I1IG-11
This is correct.
Good. Now grab a blaster and help us shoot our way out.
I1IG-11
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-
I1IG-11
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.
I1IG-11
And you will live, and I will have served my purpose.
[emotional] No. We need you.
I1IG-11
There is nothing to be sad about. I have never been alive.
I'm not sad.
I1IG-11
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]
I1IG-11
Manufacturer's protocol dictates I cannot be captured. [opens breastplate to reveal an active grenade] I must be destroyed. [blows up, killing the Stormtroopers]
[Moff Gideon comes at them in a TIE fighter]
Our blasters are useless against him.
Hey, let's make the baby do the magic hand thing. Come on, baby! Do the magic hand thing! [the Child only waves at him] I'm out of ideas.
Nevarro is a very fine planet. And now that the scum and villainy have been washed away, it's very respectale again.
As a bounty hunter hive?
Some of my favorite people are bounty hunters.
Go off, enjoy yourself. And when you're ready to return, you will have the pick of all quarries.
I'm afraid I have more pressing matters at hand.
Take care of the little one.
Or maybe it'll take care of you.
PMPeli Motto
[to her pit droids] Hey, hey, hey! Sorry, gang. Come on. You know he doesn't like droids.
May as well let them have at it. The Crest needs a good once-over.
MMotto
Oh, so he likes droids now! Well, you heard him! Give it a once-over.
Who are you?
I'm Cobb Vanth, Marshal of Mos Pelgo.
Where did you get the armor?
Bought it off some Jawas.
Hand it over.
Look, pal, I'm sure you call the shots where you come from, but 'round here, I'm the one tells folks what to do.
Take it off, or I will.
[about the Child] We gonna do this in front o' the kid?
He's seen worse.
[Cobb Vanth recalls to the Mandalorian the story of Mos Pelgo]
You don’t understand what it was like. The town was on its last legs. It started after we got news of the Death Star blowing up. The second one, that is. [flashes back to one particular night at the Mos Pelgo Cantina] The Empire was pullin’ outta Tattooine. There was blaster fire over Mos Eisley. The occupation was over. We didn’t even have time to celebrate. That very night, the Mining Collective moved in. Power hates a vacuum and Mos Pelgo became a slave camp overnight. I lit out. Took what I could from the invaders. Grabbed a camtono. I had no idea it was full of silicax crystals. I guess every once in a while, both suns shine on a womp rat’s tail. I wandered for days. No food, no water. [image of Vanth being rescued by the Jawas] And then... I was saved. [Inside Sandcrawler] The Jawas wanted the crystals. They offered their finest in exchange. [remembers pointing to what is actually Boba Fett's armor] And my treasure bought me more than a full waterskin. It bought my freedom.
[Mando says something to the Sand People, and they add more people to the strategy plan]
That's more like it. Where are they getting the reinforcements?
I volunteered your village.
[When the Mandalorian tells Cobb Vanth that he's volunteered the Mos Pelgo residents to attack the krayt dragon, Vanth tries to explain this to the people]
This here is a Mandalorian. You know what that means?
MMan
We’ve heard the stories.
Then you know how good they are at killing. Now, this one’s got a problem. I got a suit o’ salvaged armor and the Mandalorian Creed says it’s his to take. [people grumble] But I’ve got a problem, too. A krayt dragon has been peeling off our pack animals, and sometimes, taking our mining haul with it. It’s just a matter of time before it grows tired of banthas and goes after a couple of you townsfolk, or even, so help us, the school. [residents get agitated] As much as I’ve grown fond of the armor, I’m even more fond of this town. The Mandalorian is willing to help us slay the leviathan in exchange for returning the armor to its ancestral owners. [people approve] Well, that settles it. There’s more. We can’t take on the krayt alone. And the Sand People are willing to help. [residents fume]
RResidents
They raid our mines! They’re monsters!
I’ve seen the size of that thing, it will swallow your entire town when the fancy hits it. You’re lucky Mos Pelgo isn’t a sand field already. I know these people. They are brutal, but so is the Dune Sea. They’ve survived for thousands of years in these sands and they know the krayt dragon better than anyone here. They are raiders, it’s true. But they also keep their word. We have struck a deal. If we are willing to leave them the carcass and its ichor, they will stand by our side in battle and vow never to raise a blaster against this town until one of you breaks the peace.
Think it’ll work?
It better. Joining forces is their only hope.
