The Acolyte (2024) s01e05 Episode Script

Night

Extract Kelnacca from his post
on Khofar and intercept Mae.
I need your help.
I need you to come
with me on this mission.
Kelnacca is in there.
[OSHA] How do we find him?
[YORD] We have a tracker.
If it comes to it, and
she doesn't listen to me,
you need to stop her.
I can't hesitate a second time.
We're not defined by what we lose.
We're defined by what we survive.
You've survived a lot.
Keep down the volume.
We don't want to know
what lives out here.

You were wrong. Osha being
alive changes everything.
- I'll turn myself over to the Jedi.
- He'll kill you.
[MAE] He'd have to find me first.
He's here.

- You're injured.
- I'm fine.
Sol gave me an order.
Osha. I don't want to have
to subdue you but I will.
Come on.
[UNSETTLING MUSIC PLAYING]
[STRANGER] Master Sol.
Who are you?
[STRANGER] You don't remember me?
I sense something familiar.

You trained Mae.
Show your face.
[STRANGER] And let you read my thoughts?
No. No. No.
What Master hides his
face from his pupil?
[STRANGER] You tell me.

[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC PLAYING]
What is he, Yord?
I don't know.
He doesn't follow the rules of combat.
And there's no method
to his movements, it
It doesn't make sense.
He gets into your head
and he stays there.
My mother could do that.
Get inside a Jedi's head.
I saw it once.
We have to keep moving.
- [PIP BEEPING]

Come on! Keep moving.

- [STRANGER] Coward.

You were going to betray me.

Jecki.
Was that its name?
[BREATHING HEAVILY]
She was a child.
You brought her here.
Hello.
[GASPING]
You really didn't know it was me?
Not even deep down?
- [LIGHTSABERS CLASHING]
- [GRUNTING]
- [LIGHTSABER RETRACTS]
- [MAE GASPING]
You attack me while my back is turned?
Not very Jedi of you.
- [GRUNTS, PANTING]
- [LIGHTSABER RETRACTS]
What are you?
I have no name.
But the Jedi like you
might call me Sith.
[PANTING]
Why risk discovery?
Well, I
I did wear a mask.
What do you want?
Freedom.
[MAE YELPS]
The freedom to wield my power
the way I like.
Without having to answer
to Jedi like you.
[BREATHING HEAVILY]
I want a pupil,
an Acolyte.
- But this one
- [GASPING]
went back on our deal.
She exposed me.
So, now I have to kill
every single last one of you.
[MAE GRUNTING, PANTING]
I don't make the rules.
The Jedi do.
And the Jedi say I can't exist.
They see my face, they all die.
Aw, look at you two.
Right back where you started.
[LIGHTSABERS HUMMING]
- [GRUNTING]
- [LIGHTSABERS CRACKLING]
You.
Surprise.

[OSHA] Sol!
Osha.
This is your Master?
You trust him even after
everything he did to you?
His mind is twisted by darkness.
I've accepted my darkness.
What have you done with yours?
[UMBRAMOTH CHITTERING]
[PIP BEEPING]
Sol.
[UMBRAMOTHS CHITTERING]
The Jedi do not attack the unarmed.
[SIGHS] Rules, rules, rules.
If you never follow them,
you never have to break them.
[UMBRAMOTHS CHITTERING]
- I love you, Pip.

[UMBRAMOTHS SCREECHING]
Why did he say that?
Sol?
Why did he say I shouldn't trust you?
What did you do?
Please, Osha.
I'll explain.
[SOL THUDS]
[MYSTERIOUS MUSIC PLAYING]
Osha.
What have you done?
I I did what I needed to do.
For you.
For our family.
Everything you've ever done
has been for yourself.
All of these lives lost tonight.
Again. All because of you.
The Jedi got what they deserved.
Those Jedi were more my family
than you ever were.
Have you forgotten who we are?
Where we come from?
They invaded our home.
Invaded?
Mae, no.
You're the violent one.
You started that fire.
And I would have been dead too
if it weren't for the Jedi.
They've brainwashed you.
They've turned you against me.
But it's okay, Osha.
I can help you.
I can help you return to yourself.
[MAE BREATHING SHAKILY]
I love you.
Don't choose them again.
Please choose me.
Choose us.
[GENTLE MUSIC PLAYING]
We both survived.
All we have is each other now.
[MAE GASPS, PANTS]
You're a criminal, Mae.
You must pay for your crimes.
What're you doing?
[OSHA] What I came here
to do. Arrest you.
Don't do this.
You did this to yourself.
You followed a false Master.
So did you.
[OSHA PANTING]
Leave Sol out of this.
He stole you from us.
He saved my life.
And what kind of life is that, huh?
A life without purpose?
Without love, without family.
He led you nowhere. He's
[OSHA GRUNTS]
