Revolution is not for the sane.
And yet... here we are.
Where are you, boy?
You're here! You're not with Luthen. You're here!
You're right here, and you're ready to fight!
Spiders are not the most unique thing in Ghorman.
There's a mineral underground. Doctor!
Deep substrate foliated kalkite.
Should we fail to find any alternatives,
we will have to control Ghorman with a hand firm enough
to silence any resistance.
Grand Moff Tarkin killed 500 peaceful, unarmed Ghormans
in the middle of that plaza.
You can imagine how upset we would be to find out
there's an Imperial military facility rising over the Monument to the Fallen.
Is that where it happened?
I was with my father.
He was killed saving me.
I can't support the bill because I can't risk chafing the Emperor.
Why Ghorman is being persecuted so intently
are questions no one seems prepared to answer.
Hasn't there always been something slightly arrogant about the Ghor?
With the right ideas planted in the right markets in the right sequence,
we can now weaponize this galactic opinion.
Propaganda will only get you so far.
You need a radical insurgency you can count on.
You need Ghorman rebels you can depend on to do the wrong thing.
Luthen should have told me you were in trouble.
We're worth more to him separately than together.
Well, that's something we'll have to talk to him about.
Jacquème! Jacquème! Lo stique sassor!
Nache mik balor! Sim ro nache telpó!
I'm not loving Coruscant.
It's overwhelming, I know you...
You've been struggling.
You come to the house and you mess with Bix?
You mess with her behind my back?
You realize what you're putting at risk right now?
- I give you everything. - This is everything?
Violating every protocol we live by?
Bix has to pull it together.
Or you will have to decide at what point it becomes too large a problem.
Whatever the mission is, I'm coming.
Shadow-Six, you are clear for Open Pad One.
Go for Tower, 0-1-1.
Listen up! New rules!
No vouchers, no food, no rack until you check in with your Duty Officer.
You'll find your Duty Officer listed on the Health Certificate
waiting for you in the clinic following your medical approval.
Stay to the group and mind the freight paths.
Take your shirt off.
And don't tell me it's better.
- Turn around. - I'm gonna be late.
What's more important?
Easy. Easy.
That was easy.
- Pick another spot. - Just relax.
Yeah? What are you gonna do?
Mm. Anything I want.
Hey.
Oh.
Look at this.
- I can come back. - Don't you dare.
I was about to send a search party.
- Hey. - Hey.
- When did you get back? - Just now.
- Where have you been? - I was on a repair.
It took a while getting back.
- You check in? - Not yet.
Things are getting really organized around here.
Tell me about it.
- Here. - That's all right. I've got it. Thanks.
Back from where?
- Here and there. - This is here.
I'm asking you where you were.
He just got in.
She's been more worried about you than I have.
Thanks.
Where were you?
Luthen wants to know if you're ready to work.
Ready for what?
He knows you were hurt.
If he does, it's because you told him.
He's been trying to reach you.
Ready for what?
He just wants to know if he can count on you.
- Well, he's not making it easy. - Whose fault is that?
You trust this place? All these people?
New faces every day?
We need an army.
Everything's a risk.
All we do here is get ready.
Luthen is making things happen.
Is he?
What do you want, Wil?
You wanna fight?
Or you wanna win?
Going it alone doesn't cut it anymore.
Well, maybe you should tell him yourself.
Maybe you should tell us where you've been.
The continued and inexplicable Ghorman resistance
to Imperial norms.
Terrorism strikes again in Ghorman.
Just three weeks after events in Corei and Jel-Novi,
there was a firebombing last night at the Naval Terminal in Palmo.
You can see, behind me, vapor and thermal smoke
still rising from the site...
The number of Imperial casualties is still unknown.
Admiral Tyzen is expected to comment later today,
but we've already seen an escalated response level.
Curfew was reinstated for the entire city.
Local leaders are urging calm,
and so far, there's been no statement, or claim of credit,
from any local terrorist groups.
You can feel this city,
which was already on edge these past few months, tightening up...
Ghorman? For Luthen?
All these side runs. That's what you've been doing?
It's being destroyed.
He must be thrilled.
He's wanted it long enough.
Dragging you out there? For what?
Help him torch the place?
It's not like that.
Not now.
It's the Empire with the torches. They've gone insane.
So?
What does he need me for?
Her.
ISB Supervisor, Dedra Meero.
She destroyed Ferrix.
She killed my father.
You know her.
She's there in Ghorman. In the open, I've seen her.
She's there now, and she's there waiting to be killed,
and I know you're gonna say it's for revenge, but it's not.
She's been coming for Luthen since Ferrix.
She's been coming after him,
and you, and all of us, and everyone we know.
She's just sitting there, Cass.
She keeps winning.
You know she has to be stopped!
I'm late for my briefing.
You need to calm down,
and check in.
You act like Luthen's the enemy.
That would be easier.
She's a monster.
We won't have a better chance.
Sorry to keep you waiting.
The Emperor has taken a great interest in the situation.
Director Krennic's still with him now,
but they wanted me to pass along the affirmative message to you immediately.
We are moving forward with the original plan.
There is, apparently, no suitable replacement
or synthetic alternative for the Ghorman substrate material.
I see.
It's not for lack of effort.
Krennic's had the lab in Eadu working overtime all year.
I don't know the science, but...
it's bad luck Ghorman.
We need what's in the ground, and when we're done,
there won't be much left to call "home."
When?
The fleet will be fully positioned in 48 hours.
They're fiddling with the calendar,
but to commence a full-enforced resettlement
that fits Krennic's schedule,
we'll need a Declaration of Martial Domain as soon as possible.
Where is she?
She's unavailable at the moment.
I asked you "where?"
Captain Kaido is arriving today.
He's here. He's outside my office. Who is he?
He is a crisis specialist.
He'll be bringing a variety of personnel to help manage the situation.
We have plenty of security.
What I need now is some clarity on how exactly--
Dedra. Calmly.
Let the image of professional ascendance settle your nerves.
A successful conclusion to this problem
will reinforce the ISB's position at the Emperor's side.
You've done excellent work bringing this forward.
Everyone that matters knows how well you've played this.
Captain Kaido knows the objective. He will answer to you operationally.
The tactical details, however, will be at his discretion.
You're aware, sir, that the insurgents have weapons at this point.
We're counting on it.
Bombing at the Naval Depot?
I can't even get in there.
It's being investigated.
The rumor is it's a set-up.
They're running it down.
Who? And who's this tactical guy in your control room?
There's evidence of outside agitators.
You serious?
That's what I came here for.
That is what I've been trying to do since I got here.
That is what you told me you wanted, and now...
Now there's evidence I have to beg for?
We are trying to prevent an incident.
By keeping me in the dark.
My sources say this is nonsense.
- Stop. - What am I doing here?
Syril, please.
You need to go home and pack and be ready to leave when I tell you.
What?
Good things are waiting for us.
We'll be out of here soon.
We'll be back in Coruscant. We'll be together.
We'll be rewarded.
For what? What have we accomplished?
Be careful.
Me?
Do what I told you.
Thank you, Kloris.
Are you planning to go to the office today?
Eventually. It's lovely out. I'm sure we'll walk.
It's just, they're asking for schedules this week.
Parking and movement.
Who's asking?
Senate Security.
Oh, ridiculous.
I'll speak to them. Thank you.
I'm requesting a new driver.
Don't. They might send someone smart.
We lead from Ghorman again this morning
with reports of another terrorist attack overnight
as a series of explosions rocked the Naval Terminal in Palmo.
...perhaps as many as three,
rising over the Imperial Naval Terminal, where...
With Ghorman already under curfew and increased security,
this represents a turning point in the terror campaign
that's been escalating for the past year.
...freezing Ghorman assets galaxy-wide
and calling for an immediate and complete blockade of material assistance
until the incident can be fully explained
and the terrorists have been brought to justice.
Senator Mothma.
Apologies. I've been awaiting your arrival.
A word, if you please.
- I'll see you upstairs. - Okay.
Senator Oran.
Any news?
Only bad news for the Ghormans.
I'm afraid we're near the point of no return.
How can I help?
Turn back the clock. Send everyone home.
How I wish I could make that so.
This bombing last night...
They have no shame, do they?
They don't even bother to lie badly anymore.
I suppose that's the final humiliation.
We're assembling a petition, and I know how... sad that must sound.
It takes more than failed legislation to upset me these days.
I came here to thank you, Mon.
Your constant courage.
The brave face you put to the world.
I've done a poor job letting you know how much I admire your grace...
and energy.
Protect yourself.
Seriously?
What?
You could've just asked me.
You would've said no.
- Then what are we doing here? - What's the harm?
You're lucky Maarva is not here.
I'm not the one she'd be straightening out.
- She hated Force healers. - She hated one Force healer,
- 10 years ago. - One was enough.
Doesn't mean the whole thing's a scam.
They wouldn't be faking something if it never worked.
Why not? What does that even mean?
You know what I don't understand?
If I was in pain, I'd try to do everything I could to fix it.
You just run around pretending like nothing's wrong
and everyone knows it's not true.
What's the risk?
What is this?
- I don't know. - You set this up.
No. No.
Who are you?
Nobody.
I was just walking home. We're just leaving.
Can you wait? Please.
Give us a moment. I'll be back.
Sorry.
For what?
I was about to ask how I know you, but...
I'm realizing now that's not it at all.
I'm late already.
I'll see you back there.
He's got a blaster burn that's not healing.
Your right shoulder.
Tell her.
Yes.
May I?
Thank you.
"Thank you" for what?
The clarity.
That feeling.
It's been a very long time.
I thought it had gone for good.
It's so easy to lose faith.
They come, no matter what.
Sometimes it even works. But this...
You...
All that you've been gathering.
The strength of spirit.
Surely you must feel it.
Uh, I'll work on that.
I'll come back and let you know.
You saw something.
Why do you keep pushing?
Why are you so upset?
I asked you not to do this.
Stay if you want.
You scared him.
I'm sorry.
It's not easy to do.
Who is he?
A pilot.
A soldier.
Tell me what you saw.
I sense the weight of things, things I can't see.
Pain, fear...
need.
Most beings carry the things that shaped them.
They carry the past.
But some... very few...
your pilot...
They're gathering as they go. There's a purpose to it.
He's a messenger.
There's some place he needs to be.
Have you known him long?
I don't remember not knowing him.
Maybe you're the place he needs to be.
Enza.
- Don't you know there's a curfew? - I needed to see you.
Then have a good look.
I... think there's a way out of this before things go too far.
My people are convinced you're being coordinated by outside agitators.
If I had something to offer,
if we could lay this off on outsiders, then--
It's better, isn't it?
That must be confusing.
She asked me who you were. I said you were a pilot.
Don't tell people what I do.
What happened when she touched you?
She's a cook in the mess hall.
And you're more than a pilot.
It's ridiculous.
She knew you were there.
She felt it from across the yard. She wasn't making that up.
That wasn't a scam.
- What was it, then? - I don't know.
I don't even think she knows.
But it happened, and I could sense it,
and I'm not afraid to say that.
I've felt it before, Cass.
She called you a messenger.
I've had dreams like that.
Why are you doing this?
What if it's important?
I know you felt something. That's why you're so upset.
Let it in.
It can only be good. There's no other reason.
What's all this?
We filed an exit plan.
Without a destination.
It's a personal trip.
This ship's to be fitted with hyper-comms tomorrow.
We'll be back soon.
That is unacceptable, and you know it.
- This isn't a base for privateers. - All set. Clear.
Those who enjoy the security of Yavin must proclaim their loyalties.
Don't push too hard.
You know where I stand.
The day I need permission to come and go, I'm gone.
That day is near.
Fall out! Quick time!
Tighten up! Look lively!
Yes, sir.
Fall in!
Form up!
- Sergeant. - Sir.
Get these men shaped up and ready for presentation.
There's not a man amongst them, sir, but I'll do what I can.
Am I gonna have a problem with you?
Duly noted, sir. Problem-free.
What is that supposed to be?
All right, listen in!
He's got a number of units coming in today.
Attention!
Left turn!
They look like children.
Quick march!
Talk to me.
Twelve hundred at the mark.
What are you doing?
- What? - Look where you're going.
You said come in low, right?
- You okay? - Yeah.
Hello.
And you.
Haven't seen you in a while.
I know.
Everyone's so busy.
Anything you can talk about?
Well, I'm here now. I'll be around.
I'm doin' intakes.
Scaring the new recruits.
No more smuggling?
I needed a break.
It's good to hear you say that.
I was getting reckless.
You're looking for Cassian, aren't you?
No.
They sent me to talk to you.
Draven. Dodonna.
They need him, Bix.
They're on the verge of promoting him,
and then he goes and does something like this morning.
I know you.
I know how deeply you believe in what we're doing.
We're not Luthen's puppets anymore.
We're not a bunch of maniacs running around Aldhani.
We're building a real army.
Cassian is a leader now.
We've all given so much.
A little discipline doesn't seem too much to ask.
He'll be there when you need him.
I'll pass that along.
When did this happen?
It's been a few months.
I've gotta get going.
What if the comms don't work?
We'll test first thing.
If that's a fail, we'll meet here.
Our secondary would be the ship.
Second floor, third from the left.
She's in there.
She sleeps in the building.
The locals say she's on the Plaza once or twice a day.
She's easy to spot.
She doesn't stay any place very long.
The glass? It might need two shots.
I don't know.
It's old, but I can ask.
All right, here comes my guy.
Comms, first thing.
Ferrix.
Stone and Sky.
Welcome.
Thank you.
Here.
You'll have to scan for them.
Ronni Goo...
Goo-jah.
- Goo-jah. - Mid-Rim News.
Never heard of it.
We're trying to change that.
I don't see an entry stamp.
Journalists require Imperial approval.
I-- I know. Yeah. I just got in. I...
I didn't wanna risk the... the curfew.
You'll have to go over there tomorrow and sort it out.
- Yeah. - We're required to notify them.
Of course. Yeah.
The Alderaan group. Their shuttle's been canceled.
Again?
Good luck with that.
I have a room at the front, facing the Plaza.
Ah, perfect.
You know, most guests don't say that anymore. It can be loud.
I'm a deep sleeper.
She will report it.
We turn over our guest list each afternoon.
Good to know.
And you'll have to carry your own bag this time.
You know the way.
Thank you.
Is this the weather center?
Clear skies tonight.
We'll be updating the forecast at first light.
I'll make sure to listen.
We're always here.
