Star Wars Resistance (2018) s02e17 Episode Script
Rebuilding the Resistance
1 [ENGINES WHOOSHING.]
[HEROIC MUSIC.]
Whoa! Resistance X-wings? What are they doing here? No idea, but it probably means trouble.
Yeager.
You don't mind if we park here, do you? For you, Venisa, I think we can make some room.
Wait, that's Venisa Doza? Mom! You made it! [LAUGHS.]
Hi, wingmate.
It's been too long.
Way too long.
I'm glad you arrived safely.
Was there any doubt, Imanuel? [LAUGHS.]
I can't believe you're still flying around in this old rust bucket, Venisa.
It has seen better days.
[LAUGHS.]
So have you, Jarek, but you're still top of the line.
Who's this? This is our newest Ace pilot, Kazuda Xiono.
I've heard a lot of good things about you, Kazuda.
Well, Torra's told me a lot of great things about you, too.
And for the record, I like your ship.
It has character.
[BEEPING.]
Yeah, character.
- [BEEPING.]
- Bucket, hey! [DROIDS BEEPING.]
[LAUGHS.]
Torch seems happy to be home.
He's not the only one.
But we're not here for a social flyby.
We're helping Venisa's squadron on a mission for the Resistance.
[DRAMATIC MUSIC.]
[BEEPING.]
Look at all that carbon scoring, CB.
They must have been in some crazy battles.
Hey! No drooling on my ship.
Hugh! Buddy! Oh, I can't believe it! You're a pilot for the Resistance now? [LAUGHS.]
Yeah, sure am, if you can believe that.
Um, Kaz and I flew together back in the New Republic Navy.
Uh, what about you? I mean, last I saw, you were facing off against that red TIE, and we assumed the worst.
Pfft, what, that guy? Please, I took care of him no problem.
Oh, really? Because the way Poe tells it, he said he saved your Anyway, hey, uh, what brings you here? The situation's pretty dire.
We've been searching the galaxy for anyone willing to fight against the First Order, but some systems would rather surrender than go to war.
[MOURNFUL BEEP.]
Commander Doza needs help.
Wait, help? Where's the rest of your squadron? You're looking at it, Kaz.
We're all that's left.
So let me understand this.
Resistance recruits need an escort to get off of Dantooine, which is now under the control of the First Order.
Yes, and since the First Order's cracked all our rendezvous coordinates, I'd like to bring the recruits to the Colossus, temporarily, until we can find a new location for them.
Hmm.
I see.
Very well.
You can relocate them here for a short while.
Really? That's it? You're you're not gonna argue with me about this? No, not this time.
We tried running and hiding.
Clearly, that didn't work.
Three Aces are all I can spare.
The rest I need for defense.
[THUMP.]
[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC.]
- We'll do it! - We'll do it! Well, look at that.
Two volunteers.
How unexpected.
[SIGHS.]
Torra, the gravity of this mission We've already talked about this, Father.
I'm ready.
She's among the best here, Imanuel.
That's saying something.
We have one more spot to fill, and I know just the pilot.
At ease, team! Hype's here to save the day! [LAUGHS.]
Venisa? Long time no see.
Still up for a challenge, Hype? Oh, you know it.
How may my superior flying skills be of use today? [LAUGHS.]
Uh, what's with this guy? How much time do you have? This is Dantooine.
The First Order has taken control of the planet, creating a blockade and cutting off all long-range communications.
Three shuttles carrying a handful of Resistance recruits are trying to escape to join us.
Our mission is to extract the shuttles and escort them back to the Colossus without the First Order catching on.
With luck, we will have minimal engagement, but there are no guarantees.
Those recruits are like us.
Some have lost everything because of the First Order.
Others want to fight to protect the ones they love.
To protect these recruits is to protect our future.
We are the spark, and we are all in this together.
This is a dangerous mission, and I am honored to fly with all of you.
[RESOLUTE MUSIC.]
Good luck.
I see you haven't lost your touch for giving rousing speeches.
Jarek, I need to tell you something before we leave.
I saw Tam.
You did? How was she? Considering I was the one stuck in a cell, she was doing just fine.
Really? Is she Conflicted, yes, but she needs to sort things out on her own.
Give her time.
- [SAD BEEPS.]
- No.
Sorry, Torch, but Bucket can't go with us.
- He's needed here.
- [BEEPING.]
Maybe next time.
[DROIDS BEEPING.]
Jade Squadron, let's move out.
I ran through the preflight checks with Torch.
Your ship is good to go.
When we get to Dantooine, be sure to Stay on your wing.
Got it.
[DRAMATIC MUSIC.]
All right, wingmate.
You ready? Let's do this.
Everything will be fine.
When Venisa and Torra are together, they're unstoppable.
[SIGHS.]
I know, but it still doesn't make it any easier.
[ENGINES WHOOSHING.]
There she is.
Dantooine.
Torch, keep your eyes open for any unwanted company.
[BEEPING.]
You guys see anything on your scanners? - Nothing yet.
- Wait, wait, wait, wait! Oh, my say that again.
You're telling me that Kaz almost got thrown out of the academy.
Oh, yeah.
A couple of times, actually.
Those were all misunderstandings! Oh, you you have made my day! [LAUGHS.]
I'm gonna buy you a round at Aunt Z's after this.
Look, I'm really glad that you two are hitting it off, but Norath and I are trying to concentrate.
I don't mind.
It's the most entertainment I've had in weeks.
All right, everyone.
Focus on the mission.
Yeah, what she said.
[DRAMATIC MUSIC.]
Commander Doza, I've got multiple contacts at 1-0-4.
Looks like a scouting squadron.
Torch, jam their comms as soon as they come into range.
[ENGINES HOWLING.]
This should go quickly.
Break off into pairs.
Torra, you're with me.
[ENGINES WHOOSHING.]
Well, wingmate? Are you thinking what I'm thinking? The Doza Dive? That's the one.
Can you handle it? Not a problem.
Great shot, Mom.
Nicely done yourself.
I learned from the best.
How's it looking, Jade Squadron? Our TIEs are clear.
Kaz, Hype, what's your status? Just a couple left.
Commander Pyre, we need backup.
Our blockade is being shot down by the Resistance.
Get off my tail! Can't shake this bucket-head.
Hype, keep him on your six.
I'm coming around.
Uh, what's the holdup? I need you to bank hard on my count.
Three, two, one, now! Whoo-hoo! [LAUGHS.]
Nice shot! Like I'm always saying, a pilot needs a wingmate watching their back.
Oh, like you're always saying? [TRIUMPHANT MUSIC.]
Great work, team.
Time to get these shuttles airborne.
Echo Two, escort ship standing by.
Copy, Jade Leader.
Initiating launch.
[SERENE MUSIC.]
[SINISTER MUSIC.]
We've received reports of recent Resistance activity on Dantooine.
Shuttles of their recruits are attempting to leave the planet.
The patrolling TIE squadron has fallen out of contact.
Set course for Dantooine, Lieutenant Galek.
Your squad's being activated.
I want that convoy found and their ships destroyed.
But aren't transport shuttles unarmed? Is that a problem for you, 533? No, sir.
Not at all.
Then I suggest you keep your ears open and your mouth shut.
You wanted to see me, Agent Tierny.
Is everything all right, Tamara? You seem agitated.
Not at all.
I made second in command of my squadron, so things are great.
Does this look familiar to you? It's my comlink from the Colossus.
I admit, I had my doubts about you at first, but that changed when you turned this over to me.
You were wise not to be deceived by Kazuda Xiono's lies.
Those who betray us Become our enemy.
You know, I wasn't born into the First Order.
For years, I scraped by under the rule of the New Republic.
But I knew I was meant for more.
I brought you here because I saw the same potential in you, and you've surpassed all my expectations.
Thank you, Agent Tierny.
Keep surpassing them.
Do not let me down, Tamara.
Understood? [SINISTER MUSIC.]
All squadrons prepare for launch.
Repeat, all squadrons prepare for launch.
Dismissed.
You held your own against those TIEs, Torra.
You've come a long way since our first flying lesson.
[BEEPING.]
Oh, come on.
She was just a kid, Torch.
She ejected you by mistake! Actually, I did it on purpose.
He kept being a back seat pilot.
[BEEPING.]
[DRAMATIC MUSIC.]
Commander, we have visual.
Three Resistance shuttles, straight ahead.
Copy that.
Shuttle captain, this is your escort party.
We see you, Jade Leader.
Nice to have some help.
What are your orders? Steady as you are and stay close.
Jade Squadron, we are clear for convoy formation.
Torch, transmit coordinates.
We're getting out of here.
Coordinates received, Commander Doza.
Ready to go.
Copy that.
All right, let's clear the planet and jump back to the Colossus.
[BEEPING.]
Hold that order.
We've got company.
[DRAMATIC MUSIC.]
[TIE ENGINES HOWLING.]
And a whole lot of it.
[DRAMATIC MUSIC.]
[TIE ENGINES HOWLING.]
There are too many TIEs! We can't jump.
Then we'll thin them out.
Kaz and Hugh with me.
Torra, Hype, Norath, protect the shuttles.
We're the only line of defense, so try to keep the TIEs hurting.
Torch and I will hit them head on while you two flank them.
- Copy that.
- Copy that.
[ENGINES WHOOSHING.]
[BEEPING.]
Whoa.
So that's where Torra gets it.
Come on, CB.
We can't let her have all the Ah! Kaz? Oh, you've gotta be kidding me! Targets confirmed.
I want those shuttles destroyed.
Look at this, 533.
The Aces colluding with the Resistance.
My day just got a whole lot better.
Okay, we got this.
[COUGHS.]
You shouldn't be here.
[COMPUTER BEEPING.]
You got a shadow, Kaz.
I'm on it.
- [SPARKING AND BEEPING.]
- Agh! Whoo! Thanks for watching my back, Hugh.
Okay, everyone stay sharp.
As soon as we get the shuttles to escape altitude, we jump.
Come on.
Come on! [COUGHING.]
Shuttle two's been hit! On my way! Captain, what's your status? [SPOTTILY.]
Um, our hyperdrive's been hit.
Going to take time to get it back up.
You're go have to jump without us.
We're not leaving you behind.
Do what you can to get it back online.
We'll buy you some time.
They're taking out half the squad.
We need to fall back.
Negative, 533.
We're finishing this mission.
[BEEPING.]
I see him, CB.
This guy's good.
[COMPUTER BEEPING.]
[TARGETING COMPUTER BEEPS RAPIDLY.]
There we are.
[ALARM BEEPING.]
What the No! Nice job playing bait, Kazuda.
Any [CLEARS THROAT.]
Anytime, Venisa.
Lieutenant Galek is gone.
You're in charge now, 533.
What are we gonna do? Tam, what do we do? Wait, I see an opening on a shuttle.
I'm going for it.
Rucklin, no, wait! Come on, come on.
[BEEPING AND SPARKING.]
[AFFIRMING BEEPS.]
[RESOLUTE MUSIC.]
How's that hyperdrive looking, captain? [SPOTTILY.]
Still working on it.
Should be ready soon.
Torra, we need cover on shuttle three.
I've got one TIE inbound.
[TIE BLASTERS FIRING.]
- Norath! - I see him.
- Yes! - No! All shuttles and escorts jump now! [PENSIVE MUSIC.]
I can't believe it.
All those innocent people, gone.
[SIGHS.]
What am I doing? [COMM BEEPS.]
All fighters, return to base.
DT-533.
Even though this mission was a failure, one of the three Resistance shuttles was successfully destroyed under your command.
I know you're upset.
Understand that Lieutenant Galek died in service to the First Order and was a fine squadron commander, but her failure has now created opportunities for others.
There is one less group of Resistance we have to worry about, thanks to you.
DT-533, you are now promoted to squadron leader.
Thank you, sir.
[SOMBER MUSIC.]
[SCOFFS.]
Unbelievable.
I destroyed that shuttle.
If anyone deserves to be squad leader, it's me, not you.
I didn't ask for this, Rucklin.
Ah, but you got it anyway.
Funny how it always works out for you.
The Resistance was counting on us.
- We failed.
- It's all my fault.
I should've seen that TIE coming.
No, no, I was too cocky.
I should've been watching the shuttle.
Listen up, because it's important you all understand this.
No matter how hard we try to save everyone, there's always going to be loss in war.
But we only truly fail when we lose hope.
Those recruits made it out because of us.
That's a victory.
It still doesn't make it any easier, seeing what the First Order's capable of.
I mean, what if Tam was in one of those TIEs? We can't assume that.
All we can hope is that she, or anyone else, for that matter, realizes what the First Order truly is.
Giving up on people is the easy way out.
We're better than that.
They're right.
Come on.
Let's go give our guests a proper Colossus welcome.
[WARM MUSIC.]
You always had a way with words.
They're more effective on some than others.
The First Order may have us beat in numbers, but we're resilient.
I know this was a big ask, Imanuel.
Thank you for your help.
About the recruits I'll have them off the Colossus in a few days, as promised.
They can stay, and so can Jade Squadron.
Are you sure? You may have made this decision, but what about the people of the Colossus? I can't force anyone to join us, but this is my ship, and whatever the Resistance needs, they can count on the Colossus.
I'm done running from this fight.
It's good to have you back.
[HEROIC MUSIC.]
Whoa! Resistance X-wings? What are they doing here? No idea, but it probably means trouble.
Yeager.
You don't mind if we park here, do you? For you, Venisa, I think we can make some room.

Are you sure? You may have made this decision, but what about the people of the Colossus? I can't force anyone to join us, but this is my ship, and whatever the Resistance needs, they can count on the Colossus.
I'm done running from this fight.
It's good to have you back.
