Star Wars REBELS (2014) s03e12 Episode Script

- (WHIMPERING) - Tell me what I want to know, bug.
What Imperial secret was worth the lives of my team, my friends? Easy, Saw.
We've all got questions for him.
Saw, he's unarmed.
You know better than anyone, we can't underestimate these things.
(GROANING) I think he's afraid.
Well, how can you tell? Let Ezra talk to him.
It's okay.
We won't hurt you.
Hmm? I'm Ezra.
What's your name? (SPEAKING GEONOSIAN) Klik-klak, klik-klak.
Yeah, I think I'm just gonna call ya Klik-Klak.
Come on out.
(SPEAKING GEONOSIAN) (GRUNTING ANGRILY) It's okay, Chop.
Klik-Klak, can you tell us what the Empire was doing here on Geonosis? (SPEAKING GEONOSIAN) Circle inside of a circle.
That could be the rings around Geonosis.
I need more than some scratches in the dirt.
(CHOPPER GRUNTING) Chopper picked up an energy reading in the direction Klik-Klak was going.
- Down below somewhere.
- Probably a trap.
Another den of battle droids.
Or the answers we're looking for.
We came all this way.
(SHOUTING IN GEONOSIAN) What are you doing? Aw.
Tracker.
I don't want it running off again.
(CHOPPER GRUNTING) (CHOPPER GRUNTING) Hey, Saw! I think this is yours.
Where'd you get that? Give it here! Uh, you dropped it back there.
Is that your sister? Steela.
This is all I have left of her.
Back in the Clone War, Saw's sister was killed by a Separatist gunship.
The Geonosians were Separatists, right? Yeah, and they created those gunships.
I'm sure the proximity sensor was triggered by a meteor again.
Scan the quarantine zone for intruders and let's be on our way.
I don't want to waste any more time on this desolate rock than I have to.
(ALARM BEEPING) Captain, I'm detecting life on the surface.
Most likely scavengers.
Deploy recon patrol.
HERA: (OVER COMLINK) Zeb, Sabine, I need you up here! (SIGHS) What now? (BEEPING) Imperial light cruiser.
They haven't detected us yet.
We need to get the others back here now, but I can't raise their comlinks.
They must have gone back into the tunnels for some reason.
If I take a transmitter into the cave, think I can contact them from there? Try it, but don't stray too far.
Sabine, you finish locking down the deflector core.
(GRUNTING) This is where you live? (SPEAKING GEONOSIAN) Some kind of workshop.
He's been maintaining that shield generator and those droids.
Droids he used to ambush us.
(SPEAKING GEONOSIAN) Well, all his people were killed, and we came here with weapons.
Can you blame him for protecting himself? What else is it protecting? - Huh.
Transmitter looks functional.
- (TRANSMITTER PINGING) Maybe we can boost your signal with it.
Chop, give me a hand with this.
Got a lot of stuff here.
(SHOUTING IN GEONOSIAN) No, no, no! That tells me nothing! Saw, don't.
This is his home.
That may be the only answer you're going to get out of him.
It's hiding something.
(NERVOUS CHATTERING) What have you got in here? A weapon? Stop! (WHIMPERS) Saw.
Sonic blaster.
Still think the bug's our friend? What else you got in there? (SPEAKING GEONOSIAN) That's That's an egg.
EZRA: He's just been defending it.
That's what this is all about.
That's what he was trying to draw.
Looks like a queen egg.
It's very rare.
That could be the last Geonosian egg left.
ZEB: (OVER COMLINK) Spectre-4 to Spectre-1.
Can you read me? Come in, Spectre-1.
Spectre-4, we read you.
Kanan? All right! I got ya! Hold on.
Let me patch you through to Hera.
HERA: (OVER COMLINK) Spectre-1, do you read? Loud and clear.
We've found something.
So did we.
The Empire is here! We need you back so we can go.
- You too, Spectre-4.
- On my way! The tunnel we came in collapsed.
We'll have to find another way out.
What about that giant chasm we crossed? It goes to the surface.
Maybe we can find a way up.
This thing comes with us, for interrogation.
(PLEADING) Well, then who will protect the egg? If it is a queen, then it's vital to the survival of his whole race.
Whatever that thing knows is vital to our survival.
Ezra's right.
They don't deserve extinction.
The mission takes priority.
Saw, we had this argument back at command.
Your mission was to find out what happened here.
And I'm gonna make this bug tell me exactly that.
No.
If that egg is the last chance to save his people, then we have to help him protect it.
I know some people in this rebellion don't want to admit it, but we are in a war, and war is loss.
Okay, but we're taking Klik-Klak and the egg to our base.
After we question him, we'll bring him home.
Agreed.
HERA: (OVER COMLINK) Kanan, what's your position? We're heading back to the central air shaft.
(BEEPING) We're in trouble! Shields just took a major hit.
That ship is a rebel vessel, Captain.
Imperial records identify it as the Ghost from Phoenix Squadron.
The Ghost! If we destroy that ship, it would mean a promotion for all of us.
Hurry, Zeb! Move it! Sabine, I need you in the nose gun, now! Hey! I only got one barrel! Thank to that storm, you're gonna have to make do! Stupid sand.
Gets everywhere.
Spectre-1, we took out the Empire's first wave, but they'll send more.
KANAN: (OVER COMLINK) Ugh.
You better come and get us.
Do you still have my signal? Yeah, I think I see where you're headed.
Gonna be a tight fit.
Strap yourselves in! Oh, this doesn't look good.
(CHOPPER GRUNTING) All these tunnels look the same.
You sure Chopper knows where he's going? He made a map as we went.
(SPEAKING GEONOSIAN) Wait.
Klik-Klak wants to head down there for some reason.
Maybe this is a shortcut.
We follow the droid.
Our recon units were destroyed, and we've lost all trace of the rebel vessel on our scopes, Captain.
Pinpoint their last known position and take us down.
Down, Captain? They've gone underground, and we're going to follow.
There it is! Saw Gerrera, this is Hera, Sabine and Zeb.
Phoenix Leader, I'm honored to meet you.
Your actions have not gone unnoticed among the ranks of other rebels.
Neither have yours.
(SPEAKING GEONOSIAN) You found a local? It's okay.
That's Klik-Klak.
Is he the only one? We think so.
(SIGHS) Well, that complicates things.
He's our only clue to what the Imperials did here.
I wanna take him with us.
Okay, what does Klik-Klak want to do? (SPEAKING GEONOSIAN) He wants to stay here.
I think he wants us to take him deeper into the planet.
That's too bad, because we already have an agreement.
Don't we, Jedi? We agreed that we would take Klik-Klak back to our base for questioning.
Kanan, can I have a word with you? - What's wrong? - Gerrera.
How much do you know about him? Nothing, really.
Just what Rex told us.
You have a problem with him? We need to be careful.
From what I hear, Saw's got a reputation for being a little extreme.
Considering his past, can't say I blame him.
EZRA: Leave him alone! Hey, you can't take him! (SHOUTING) I said go! (GROWLS) (WHIMPERING) You're hurting him! Gerrera, what are you doing? I'm taking your shuttle and the bug.
You're not taking The Phantom anywhere.
Saw, we had a deal.
We'll question Klik-Klak at Chopper Base.
Your methods are soft, Jedi.
We lost the last war because of you.
I won't lose this one.
- (SCREAMS) - Stop! (GRUNTS) Easy, soldier.
You're not in command here.
Now move it, bug! (WHIMPERING) The egg! I don't want to do this, but you leave me no choice.
Captain, you were right.
The rebel ship has entered an underground passage.
Let us pass, or I destroy the egg.
(SPEAKING GEONOSIAN) Saw, you don't want to do this.
I know you believe you're doing the right thing, but Our enemy shows no mercy.
Neither can we.
If you harm that egg, you're helping the Empire wipe out the last of his kind.
The last of his family.
(SPEAKING GEONOSIAN) - I don't care.
- Yes, you do.
I know you care, because you know what it's like to lose family.
Yeah, I know what it's like.
I lost my sister to the Separatists and my planet to the Empire.
I'm fighting for you and everyone else not to lose what they've got.
And I won't apologize for how I do it.
Then you're no better than the Empire.
(GRUNTING EXCITEDLY) They found us! We have to leave.
Now.
We can't take him with us.
Klik-Klak belongs here.
Hey, if we all get captured, that'll end this debate real quick.
Let's go! (GRUNTING) They're cutting us off! We've got rocket troopers incoming! Ezra, I need you guys up top now.
Saw, can I count on you? In a fight against the Empire? (CHUCKLES) Any time.
(RELIEVED CHATTERING) Good.
Get up there with the others and buy me some time.
What's your plan? Well, we can't go up, so we gotta go down.
Looks like you get your way, Klik-Klak.
Klik-klak.
(MUTTERING) Pesky flyers! (GRUNTING) (PINGING) They've got detonators! I'm on it! (PINGING CONTINUES) Those troopers are in trouble now.
Ahhh! - Ooh! - Wait, what's she doing? Ah! - I want one of those jet packs.
- I know.
Captain, our rocket trooper squadron suffered heavy losses.
How heavy? - We lost them all.
- Move the cruiser into firing position.
We can't stay down here forever.
(SPEAKS GEONOSIAN) - I wonder how deep this goes.
- (CHOPPER GRUNTING) According to Chopper, not much further down.
And he's picking up something on his scanner.
- (SPEAKING GEONOSIAN) - I say we check it out.
Every second we spend down here seals our fate.
We've come this far.
If Klik-Klak thinks this is the way to go, I want to see why.
(CHOPPER GRUNTING) Over here.
Those canisters.
Imperial weapons division.
They're for poison gas.
There.
Just like his drawing, the circle in the circle.
Now we know what happened to his people.
(SPEAKING GEONOSIAN) (SPEAKING GEONOSIAN) Ezra's right.
The Geonosian belongs here.
(SPEAKING GEONOSIAN) Those canisters are all we need to prove that the Empire wiped out its people.
Everyone loses family in war, even the enemy.
The Geonosians deserve the same chance to rebuild that we do.
(SPEAKING GEONOSIAN) Go on, Klik-Klak.
You're free.
Where is he going? I don't think this is the bottom.
Maybe there are other survivors.
(SPEAKING GEONOSIAN) Huh.
They sure are a resourceful species.
(SPEAKING GEONOSIAN) I hope he finds a safe place to hatch the egg.
He's kept it safe this long.
They'll be okay.
Okay, let's load some of these canisters as proof for the Senate.
We are in position over the opening, but there's no sign of the enemy ship.
They must have descended deeper into the planet.
Bury the rebels alive! The tunnel's collapsing! Go! They're trying to seal us in! We're not getting buried down here.
The cruiser is directly over our exit.
It's blocking our escape! Their captain is showing their inexperience.
All hands, fire forward batteries! Sabine, fire proton torpedoes.
Take evasive action! We've lost the canisters! (FRUSTRATED GRUNT) Unfortunately, all we were able to recover were images of the poison canisters used by the Empire against the Geonosians.
The images are frightening but will not be enough to convince the Senate of the Empire's atrocities.
They may, however, help us recruit more systems to our cause.
Your intel concerning these matters, acquisition of a shield core and the rescue of Saw Gerrera makes the mission a profound success.
Well done.
We also gave Klik-Klak and his race a fighting chance for survival.
We still don't know what the Empire was building on Geonosis.
Maybe not, but they can't keep it hidden forever.
We'll deal with it.
I just hope it won't be too late.
You're welcome.
Ezra, you're gonna find not all of our allies share the same values or even fight the Empire for the same reason we do.
I've also got my issues with Saw, Ezra.
But in the end, he proved he's not the Empire.
And for now, that will have to do.
