The Mandalorian (2019) s02e08 Episode Script

You have something I want.
I can lead you to one of their kind.
But first, we need your
help on our mission.
The Darksaber. Does he have it?
We have exhausted our
initial supply of blood.
I highly doubt we'll find a donor
with a higher M-count, though.
Go to the planet Tython.
You will find the
ancient ruins of a temple
that has a strong
connection to the Force.
Place Grogu on the seeing stone
at the top of the mountain.
If he reaches out through the Force,
there's a chance a Jedi
may sense his presence
and come searching for him.
Then again, there aren't many Jedi left.
You may think you have some idea
of what you are in possession of,
but you do not.
It means more to me
than you will ever know.
What's going on? Who are they?
I suggest you shut your mouth,
this isn't your laboratory.
They hit us with an ion cannon.
Avionics are down.
Comms are down!
Lower your shields,
disengage all transponders,
prepare for boarding.
They're pirates. Shouldn't we fight?
I don't have a death wish, do you?
Before you make a mistake,
this is Dr. Pershing.
We've met. Is the kid alive?
Yes. He's on the cruiser.
Stay back, Dropper.
Easy, pal. Okay?
I'm not with him. We
can work something out.
Drop your weapon.
No. No, you listen to me.
This is a top-tier target
of the New Republic.
This is a clone engineer.
And if they find out that
he's dead because of you,
you're gonna wish you
never left Alderaan.
I saw the tear.
You wanna know what else I saw?
I saw your planet destroyed.
I was on the Death Star.
Which one?
You think you're funny?
Do you know how many millions
were killed on those bases?
Drop your blaster.
As the galaxy cheered?
Last chance.
Destroying your planet was a small price
to pay to rid the galaxy of terrorism.
I need your help.
Not all Mandalorians are bounty hunters.
Some of us serve a higher purpose.
They took the Child.
Who?
Moff Gideon.
You'll never find him.
We don't need these two.
Let's get outta here.
You are not a Mandalorian.
Never said I was.
I didn't know sidekicks
were allowed to talk.
Well, if that isn't the Quacta
calling the Stifling slimy.
Easy there, little one.
You'll be talking through
the window of a bacta tank.
All right, easy. Save it for the Imps.
We have his coordinates.
You can bring me to Moff Gideon?
The Moff has a light cruiser.
It could be helpful in your
effort to regain Mandalore.
You gotta be kidding me. Mandalore?
The Empire turned that planet to glass.
You are a disgrace to your armor.
This armor belonged to my father.
Don't you mean your donor?
Careful, princess.
You are a clone.
I've heard your voice
thousands of times.
Mine might be the last one you hear.
Enough! Both of you!
If we had shown half
that spine to the Empire
we would've never lost our planet.
We will help you.
In exchange, we will keep
that ship to retake Mandalore.
If you should manage
to finish your quest,
I would have you reconsider
joining our efforts.
Mandalorians have been in exile
from our home world for far too long.
- Fair enough.
- One more thing.
Gideon has a weapon
that once belonged to me.
It is an ancient weapon that
can cut through anything.
Almost anything.
It cannot cut through pure beskar.
I will kill the Moff and
retake what is rightfully mine.
With the Darksaber restored to me,
Mandalore will finally be within reach.
Help me rescue the Child and
you can have whatever you want.
He is my only priority.
This is Moff Gideon's
Imperial light cruiser.
In the old days, it would
carry a crew of several hundred.
Now it operates with a
tiny fraction of that.
- Your assessment is misleading.
- Oh, great.
An objective opinion.
This isn't subterfuge. I assure you.
Let him speak.
There's a garrison of
dark troopers on board.
They're the ones who abducted the Child.
How many troopers do they
have armed in those suits?
These are third-generation
design. They are no longer suits.
The human inside was the
final weakness to be solved.
They're droids.
Where are they bivouacked?
They're held in cold storage
in this cargo bay.
They draw too much power
to be kept at ready.
How long to power up?
A few minutes, perhaps.
Where is the Child being held?
This is the brig.
He's being held here under armed guard.
Very well. We split into two parties.
I go alone.
Fine.
Phase one, Lambda shuttle
issues a distress call.
Two, we come in hot and
emergency land at the mouth
of the fighter launch tube, cutting
off any potential interceptors.
Koska, Fennec, Dune and myself
disembark with maximum initiative.
Once we've neutralized the launch bay,
we make our way through
these tandem decks
in a penetration maneuver.
- And me?
- We'll be misdirection.
Once we draw a crowd, you slip
through the shadows, get the kid.
Those dark troopers are gonna
be a real skank in the scud pie.
Their bay is on the way to the brig.
Can he make it there before they deploy?
It's possible.
Here. Take his code cylinder
and seal off their holding bay.
Anyone else, we can handle.
We'll meet at the bridge.
Moff Gideon is mine.
Got it?
He's ex-ISB. He's got
a lot of information.
I need him alive.
I don't care what happens to him
as long as he surrenders to me.
Prepare to exit jump space.
Copy that.
Get the hell out of there as
soon as they clear us to dock.
And your shots have to look convincing.
Power up those shields,
princess. I'll put on a good show.
Watch out for those deck cannons.
Don't worry about me.
Just be careful in there.
Exiting hyperspace in three, two, one
This is Lambda shuttle,
Two-Seven-Four-Three.
Requesting emergency docking.
Repeat, requesting emergency docking.
We are under attack.
Copy, Lambda shuttle. Request received.
Launch TIE fighters.
Stay clear of launch tube.
Deploying fighter squadron.
Request denied! Please clear
launch tube until fighters deploy!
Negative! Negative! We are under attack!
Clear launch tube immediately.
We have incoming at two-eight-four-six.
Hangar control, stand down!
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!
Hang on!
Look out.
Clear the launch tube!
What are you doing?
Get that thing out of here!
Move in! Blast 'em!
Fire!
Wait, stop!
Activate the dark troopers.
All clear.
A little too clear.
Keep your eyes open.
Freeze! Drop your weapons!
Sector four, hold your position.
We're heading to the bridge now.
Cover me.
We got your back.
There they are!
My gun's jammed!
I got you.
Thanks.
No. No!
Dank farrik!
Son of a mudscuffer!
Are you sure you don't need any help?
I think that did it. Excuse me.
Hostiles! Stop!
Weapons system disarmed.
Where's Gideon?
Drop the blaster.
Slowly.
Now kick it over to me.
Very nice.
Give me the kid.
The kid is just fine where he is.
Mesmerizing, isn't it?
Used to belong to Bo-Katan.
Yes. I know you've been
traveling with Bo-Katan.
A friendly piece of advice,
assume that I know everything.
Like the fact that your wrist launcher
has fired its one and only salvo.
Where is this going?
This is where it's going.
I'm guessing that Bo-Katan
and her boarding party
have arrived at the bridge, seeking
me or, more accurately, this.
But I'm not there.
And I imagine that they've
killed everyone on the bridge,
being the murderous
savages that they are.
And now, they're beginning to panic.
You see, she wants this.
Do you know why?
Because it brings power.
Whoever wields this sword
has the right to lay claim
to the Mandalorian throne.
You keep it. I just want the kid.
Very well.
I've already got what I want from him.
His blood.
All I wanted was to study his blood.
This Child is extremely gifted
and has been blessed
with rare properties
that have the potential to
bring order back to the galaxy.
I see your bond with him.
Take him,
but you will leave my ship immediately
and we will go our separate ways.
You're sparing my life?
Well, this should be interesting.
What happened?
He brought him in alive,
that's what happened.
And now the New Republic's
gonna have to double the payment.
That's not what she's talking about.
Why don't you kill him now and take it?
It's yours now.
What is?
The Darksaber. It belongs to you.
Now it belongs to her.
She can't take it.
It must be won in battle.
In order for her to
wield the Darksaber again,
she would need to defeat you in combat.
I yield. It's yours.
Oh, no.
It doesn't work that way.
The Darksaber doesn't have power.
The story does.
Without that blade,
she's a pretender to the throne.
He's right.
Come on, just take it.
Well, perhaps she'll
get another crack at it.
The ray shields have been breached.
We're being boarded.
How many life forms?
None.
You're about to face off
with the dark troopers.
You had your hands full with one.
Let's see how you do against a platoon.
They're headed this way.
Don't worry, kid. I'm
gonna get you out of here.
Seal the blast doors!
They're here.
You have an impressive
fire team protecting you.
But I think we all know,
after a valiant stand,
everyone in this room will be dead
but me
and the Child.
An X-wing.
One X-wing? Great. We're saved.
Incoming craft, identify yourself.
Why did they stop?
A Jedi?
Drop it!
Open the doors.
I said, open the doors.
Are you crazy?
Are you a Jedi?
I am.
Come, little one.
He doesn't want to go with you.
He wants your permission.
He is strong with the Force,
but talent without training is nothing.
I will give my life
to protect the Child
but he will not be safe until
he masters his abilities.
Hey, go on.
That's who you belong
with. He's one of your kind.
I'll see you again.
I promise.
All right, pal.
It's time to go.
Don't be afraid.
May the Force be with you.
