Star Wars Resistance (2018) s02e05 Episode Script

The Engineer

1 Are you sure he can handle this, Yeager? After our last run-in with the First Order, we need those scanners back online.
I know there's a lot to fix and not much time to do it, but Neeku's the best Engineer we've got on this Platform.
[GRUNTING.]
Alrighty, that could use a little fine-tuning.
Kaz, could you please hand me the adjustable flange-rod? Just a sec, Neeku.
Almost got the holo-screen back online.
Come on, you stubborn Oh, never mind, Kaz.
I can clearly reach it myself.
Yeah, got it.
Aha.
Ha-ha-ha.
I fixed it.
Ah, greatest mechanic in the ga oh, man.
Almost there.
Long-range scanners are back online, Captain Doza.
Well done, Neeku.
Oh, thank you, Captain.
Here, Kaz, allow me.
[CONSOLE BEEPING.]
What is this? Someone is trying to contact us.
First Order found me and attacked my ship.
My oxygen levels are dangerously low.
Life support won't last long.
I'm transmitting coordinates of my current location.
[GASPS.]
A distress call.
We have to help.
No, no, hold on, that could be a trap.
Well, that's true.
But what if it's not? Mmm, given our location, another ship passing by would be very unlikely.
Statistically speaking, she will die out there.
It could be risky.
I'll go.
Neeku can stay and keep fixing until I get back.
Of course.
I do not need to sleep.
Be quick about it.
We need you back here right away.
And do yourself a favor and take someone who can use a blaster.
Wha other than me? What? I've been practicing.
All right, all right, fine.
Good luck.
Try not to disintegrate anyone.
Thank you, Neeku.
So why did you want me to accompany you on this rescue mission? Uh, well, whoever is on that ship might be tough, and, you know, it's good to have backup, whi which I don't necessarily really need, but, uh So it's not because I'm a better shot than you? Well, um okay, yes.
That is pretty helpful, I suppose.
Yes, let's just hope this is an actual rescue and not a trap.
[FOREBODING MUSIC.]
[BEEPING.]
CB says there's only one life form on board.
Get ready.
[MYSTICAL FOREBODING MUSIC.]
[COUGHING.]
Oh, uh hello.
Hello.
Thank you for the rescue? Wait.
Is this a rescue? Lots of Weapons for a rescue.
You're not pirates, are you? Pirates? No, no, we're not pirates.
Well, uh, technically, she's a pirate, but Maybe I should go back to my ship.
No, no, no, no.
No, it's okay.
The point is, we are here to rescue you.
What happened out there? The First Order.
They're everywhere.
They're spreading out across the galaxy.
Entire planets are just giving up.
I barely escaped my world.
Then I guess that makes you extremely lucky.
What's your business way out here? I don't even know where here is.
My name is Nena.
I'm just a computer engineer with a fried computer.
You're an engineer? That's great.
We could use someone like you right now.
What do you mean? Our station's been damaged by the First Order as well, and our engineer is overworked trying to repair everything.
So if we can help get your ship fixed, then you can help fix ours.
What do you say? Captain Doza, this is Nena.
She's an engineer whose ship also got damaged by the First Order.
Sorry to hear that.
Looks like we encountered your distress call just in time.
You can say that again.
My thrusters got fried from the attack, so I had to re-route all power to life support just to survive.
- If you hadn't found me - Excuse me.
Oh, hi.
Excuse me.
Excuse me.
Looks like this old refueling station needs a little bit of attention.
Well, thanks to the First Order, anytime we fix one problem, another one seems to pop up.
Have you tried adjusting the K-spline to soft-reset the system? Oh.
I had not thought of that.
I will try it.
[ENGINES WHIRRING.]
Eh, seems like you're a pretty decent mechanic, Nena.
Well, technically, I'm an engineer.
My name is Neeku Vozo.
Nice to meet you, Neeku.
I am Nenavakasa Nalor, but my friends call me Nena.
[ENGINES RUMBLING.]
Well, Nena, if you're willing, we could use someone like you to give us a hand.
You've been so kind to me.
It's the least I can do.
Wonderful, Nena.
Follow me.
I have not been able to figure this one out yet.
I even replaced all of the micro-cables.
Maybe if we re-route the power at this junction Wow.
Great success, Nena.
There.
That should do it.
[RUMBLING.]
Wow, most impressive.
Ha-ha, wonderful.
Great.
Hologame nights are back on.
Hype, you're going down.
At this rate, we'll be finished in no time.
Ha-ha! [BEEPING.]
The garbage vaporizer is now working.
Ahhh, finally, we can breathe.
You two drink for free.
[INDISTINCT CHATTER.]
Nena, what is wrong? It's just you have a lot of pirates on this station.
Ha-ha.
Hey, you, engineers, we need some help in our hangar.
You should take this one, Neeku.
I'll see what's next on the list.
[GROWLS.]
It is okay.
This will not take very long.
Of course we will help you, pirate friends.
[CACKLES.]
[FOREBODING MUSIC.]
That one's mine.
[CACKLING.]
[GASPS.]
Ugh! It is okay, Nena.
These pirates helped us to fight the First Order.
They mean us no harm.
I hope you're right.
[CHORTLES.]
Say, we're we're having problems routing power to our ship.
Huh, let me check that out for you.
Syncing data systems.
Running diagnostics now.
Hey, Neeku, can I show you something? Of course.
What is it? Huh, according to this data, the pirates are draining half of our power into their ship.
Stealing your power? You can never trust a pirate.
They're always out for themselves.
What did you say, girl? You come into my hangar and insult me and my crew? Uh, no oh, oh, Now, now, she is just reporting her findings, nothing more.
These facts don't lie.
[ENGINES RUMBLING.]
And neither does that.
Your data is wrong.
I think I will teach you some manners, child.
Let's see you try.
[DRAMATIC MUSIC.]
Heh-heh-heh, there is no need for violence.
We are all friends and fellow Platformers here, right? I don't think they see it that way.
They're pirates.
They're using you, stealing all of your power.
[GRUNTS.]
All of your power? [SCOFFS.]
We are not even getting our fair share.
[GROWLS.]
Okay now's our chance, Neeku.
Let's get out of here.
Ha-ha-ha, that's right, run, run, you cowards.
Yeah.
[ALL SPEAKING INDISTINCTLY.]
And that's why we think the pirates are stealing your power.
I want them off my ship.
Those pirates have cost us too much.
You know they won't go without a fight.
And fighting is what they do.
Let me investigate this, Captain.
I'll cut off their power supply.
Neeku and Nena will make sure they can't steal it again.
[SNORING.]
Careful, CB.
Don't make a sound.
Nothing suspicious about all these giant cables.
[SNORING.]
That's it.
Keep on sleeping, big guy.
Huh, maybe Nena was right.
Time to pull the plug on their little scheme.
Aaaah (MUFFLED SCREAMING) Synara, what are you doing here? What am I doing here? You tell me what you're doing here.
Hey would you keep it down? I'm trying to sleep over here.
[CLEARS THROAT.]
S-sorry.
With these new regulators, no one will ever be able to steal power again.
It is nice to work as a team.
Can I ask you something, Neeku? Why do you live in this flying fuel station? Do you have family here? No.
My parents are bantha herders.
They did not understand my interest in machines, but they sold their most prized bantha calf so I could become a great engineer, and here I am.
Wow, it has been a long time since I have talked about myself.
Your friends never ask? [LAUGHS.]
Oh, no.
Kaz likes to talk about the Academy and the Resistance and how he has personally met General Leia Organa.
Resistance? It seems like Kaz just likes to talk.
Okay, let's power this up.
[ENGINES WHIRRING.]
Ah.
Excellent.
Just a few more adjustments So tell me, what was your childhood like, Nena? When I was a little girl pirates captured me.
They sold me to a Hutt clan.
I worked as a slave for years until I finally escaped.
Oh, I see.
That is why you dislike pirates so much.
Yeah, you could say that.
Neeku, that K-spline I had you install, it doesn't do what you think it does.
What are you talking about? You have fixed the ship.
But I didn't come here to fix things.
Well, then you are doing a terrible job.
[LAUGHS.]
Come.
Let us finish these adjustments.
We are almost done.
Yeah you're right.
Say what you want, Synara.
I know your pals are stealing power.
Kaz, I know they aren't stealing any power, because I installed those power couplings myself.
But I saw the readouts.
It looked like half of the station's power was being re-routed here.
And who has been fiddling with the power? Neeku's new friend Nena.
But she's only been trying to help.
Has she? If she's such a good engineer, why couldn't she fix her own ship? What do you really know about her? Well, I-I guess pretty much nothing.
Let's check out her ship.
She claims to have been attacked by the First Order? We will see if it's true.
See, her ship is pretty scratched up.
It could have been from an attack.
That's just wear and tear, Kaz.
We need to dig deeper, find out where she's been, who she's contacted.
It looks like she's trying to hide something.
All of her flight data is encrypted.
That's strange.
Not if you're trying to hide something.
Luckily for you, I have experience cracking these types of codes.
Aha.
Look at this.
Whoa.
Go ahead, say it.
You were right.
She's been tracking us for days.
And not only that.
Oh, no.
She's been tracking us for the First Order.
[TENSE MUSIC.]
What are we gonna do? I will stay with the ship, make sure she can't get away.
I'll go warn everyone.
[BEEPING.]
Nena's working for the First Order.
We can't let her contact them.
[BEEPING.]
I think Neeku really likes her, CB.
And you know how hard it can be to convince him of something once he sets his mind on it.
[BEEPING.]
Yeah, exactly like the "greatest pilot in the galaxy" thing wait, wait, did BB-8 tell you that? Oh, never mind.
Let's go.
[LAUGHTER.]
Kaz, great news.
We have fixed the lights.
Neeku, buddy, pal, can we talk? How did it go with the pirates, Kaz? Great, really, really great.
I mean, as great as it can go with pirates.
[CHUCKLES.]
You know how pirates are.
[CHUCKLES.]
Neeku, I don't know how to put this gently, but Nena's working for the First Order.
Ohh, Kaz.
I see what you are doing.
What am I doing? You are worried that you are no longer my best friend and that Nena is my new best friend.
But I want to assure you that even though Nena is a vastly superior engineer, you are still my best friend, Kaz, and therefore do not need to make up such stories.
I'm not lying, Neeku.
She is sabotaging the ship.
See, she's gone.
Oh, Kaz, you have gone to great lengths to make your clever ruse believable.
- Come on, Neeku.
- Ahh-ahh! [BEEPING.]
[TENSE MUSIC.]
We have received your coordinates.
Prepare for our arrival.
Nena.
Nena.
Buh please refrain from running.
[BLASTER FIRING.]
- Oh! Ahh! - Ahh! Don't bother warning anyone.
You have no power, no thrusters, and no defenses.
The First Order is on their way as we speak.
Is this what you do, sabotage ships and leave them at the mercy of the First Order? I'm surprised you figured it out so quickly.
Then it is as Kaz said.
You lied to me, Nena About everything.
Not everything.
I was enslaved by pirates as a child.
And I learned to do whatever it takes to survive.
But that is what we are doing, surviving.
Stay and help us.
You are smart and capable and Smart enough to be on the winning side.
[BLASTER FIRING.]
Nena.
Nena.
The Resistance has already lost, Neeku.
Come with me.
I've never wanted a partner before, but you're different.
I I cannot go with you.
I will not leave my friends.
Oh! You tricked me.
Wait, Nena.
[BEEPING.]
Nena? Nena.
Captain, the First Order is here.
What? Ahh! Augh! Ugh! [BLASTER FIRING.]
We've got to stop her.
[ENGINES WHIRRING.]
[BLASTER FIRING.]
Nena.
Kaz.
Kaz, where are you? The First Order is here, and nothing on the bridge is working.
Yeah, it was Nena.
She did all of this.
I need you and Neeku to undo whatever she did, or else the First Order is going to destroy us.
We're on it.
Neeku, how do we fix all of this? I I do not know.
The the problem is that she fixed everything.
So how is that a problem? Because by fixing everything, Nena re-routed and drained the ship's power.
Right.
How can I help? Ummm, I I will go to the Command Deck.
You go to service tunnel A2 and disable the regulators.
I'm on it.
[TENSE MUSIC.]
Commander Pyre, the Colossus is defenseless.
My work here is done.
Your account has been credited.
Excellent work, engineer.
I'm sorry, Neeku.
I hope you understand what I was trying to tell you.
I wasn't sure your plan with the saboteur was going to work, But it seems to be going well.
It's nice of you to admit that I'm right.
You'll learn to regret ever doubting me.
Heh.
We'll see about that.
[BLASTERS FIRING.]
Ohh! - What's going on? - Ahh! [SHIP RUMBLING.]
[ELECTRICITY ZAPPING.]
- Done.
- Great.
Now go to Engineering.
Communications are back online.
[BLASTER FIRING.]
[SHIP RUMBLING.]
[ELECTRICITY ZAPPING.]
[INDISTINCT.]
Back online.
Great, where to next? Um, plasma cables, fix all plasma cables.
Plasma.
I'm on it.
[BLASTERS FIRING.]
Shields are fully operational, Captain.
But thrusters are still down.
Get those thrusters working.
We need to get out of here.
[GRUNTING.]
Okay, move this there, that over here.
Are we good? Did we fix everything? We still need to re-route more power.
Kaz, I need you to do one more thing.
[BLASTERS FIRING.]
Guys, guys, I need you to unplug your power source.
Awwwww, we're getting so little as it is.
[BLASTER FIRING.]
Well, it'll be nothing at all if you don't help us.
The First Order is here and about to destroy us all.
[GROANS.]
Look, we shouldn't have blamed you for draining the ship's power.
It was wrong of us to assume, but we have no time left.
Very well.
Shut it down.
[CONSOLE BEEPING.]
[ENGINES RUMBLING.]
[COMLINK CHIMES.]
Did I do it? Did that work? Are we good? No.
That should be working, but it is not.
What are we missing? [BLASTER FIRING.]
Of course, the K-spline.
All systems are fully functional, Captain.
Get us out of here, 4D.
It looks like your saboteur failed to completely disable the Colossus.
Unfortunately for her, an asset is only as valuable as it is effective.
Should we happen upon Nena again, have her executed.
With pleasure.
[LIGHT MUSIC.]
[BEEPING.]
Neeku, I'm sorry about Nena.
It is okay, Kaz.
Perhaps if I was not so trusting and open with others No, Neeku, that's what makes you you.
You're a good person, the best I've ever met.
Really, Kaz? You know, you were always my best friend, but now you are more than that.
You are my bestest friend.
Bestest friend? That's right, Kaz.
Because I really value you as a friend.
Just curious, apart from me, who else is your friend? Well, there is a chair that I am quite fond of.
And Buggles is quite interesting.
Oh, and Bibo.
I loved Bibo.
I wonder what Bibo is doing now?
