[Artillery Firing, Targets Being Hit]

[Beeps]

- [Beeps] - [Man] Commander. Approaching target.

- Begin jamming signals. - Yes, sir.

[Commander] Open doors.

Approaching droid perimeter. We are undetected.

- Gun it! - Sir.

[Beeping]

[Beeping]

[Beeping]

- Three life signs. One in the rubble. - Sir!

- Another in the rafters. - Yes, sir.

Everyone else, with me. Move out.

Shoot him down! Shoot him down!

Backup, now.

- Everyone out. - No! We must pursue!

General, we can't. The survivors will die. We have no time.

Aayla.

Shaak Ti.

[Commander] They're stabilized, sir. Theyjust might make it.

- And the others? - They are all dead, sir.

[Beeping]

Run, Jedi, run.

You have only prolonged the inevitable. [Cackles]

Did you hear that, Master Qui-Gon?

- Yes, Anakin. It calls to you. - The tree?

Yes. You must enter it... alone.

[Faint Groaning]

I'm... afraid, Master.

Control your fear.

You are the chosen one, and you must be tested.

- Wh-What's in there? - Only what you take with you.

Your final test is at hand.

Trust in the Force.

Hmm.

[Ki-Adi-Mundi] We may have been exhausted, but when was the last time...

someone stood up to fiveJedi and held his own?

This must be dealt with.

I agree. This General Grievous is changing the shape of the war.

[Man] Our numbers were dwindling before, and now this.

[Woman] Yes. We need more knights.

I know this will generate debate...

but I suggest that in this time of war...

we forego the trials and promote my Padawan, Anakin, toJedi knight.

This is preposterous. We can't set aside our most hallowed traditions.

In this time of need, why do we hold back the chosen one?

Whether or not he is the chosen one is still to be determined.

Hmm. Palpatine has been requesting this for months now.

Politicians have no voice in Jedi matters.

Well, he is a cunning warrior and our best pilot.

- He is reckless with his gifts. - [Obi-Wan] Sometimes in the past, yes.

But regardless, Anakin has been through things more difficult than the trials.

Surely he passed a trial of skill...

when he defeated that dark assassin on the fourth moon of Yavin...

and he endured an atrocious trial of the flesh at the hands of Count Dooku.

- Hmm. - And he continued to pass...

every test of courage this war has dealt him.

It would seem he would have but one trial left to face.

- Testing the spirit? - Facing the mirror.

And that is what concerns me.

To walk the path of theJedi, one's spirit must be strong.

That requires discipline, and he has often disobeyed you, has he not, Master Kenobi?

Did you not disobey me from time to time in your youth, Master Rancisis?

Ajust debate this is, but in these days of war, need all the knights we can.

Unorthodox young Skywalker's career has been.

So too will be his trials.

Trust in the Force I do.

A knight he shall be.

Ani.

Mmm.

I've... missed you so much.

I'm tired of all this.

Our love should not be hidden like it's some kind of immoral thing.

Ani, you're almost a Jedi knight, and then-

And then what? Jedis aren't supposed to be married.

Oh, it doesn't matter.

It does matter. We knew it would be like this.

Perhaps things can change after the war...

but for now, the Republic needs you...

and in the shadows of Coruscant, or any other city...

and most importantly in my heart...

I will always love you.

- Well, you do look really good in the dark. - Ani.

[C-3PO] Miss Padm�! Miss Padm�!

Oh, no. 3PO.

Miss Padm�! Miss Padm�! Oh, dear. Where did she go?

Miss Padm�! Mi-

Please don't damage me. L- I'm only a droid.

Nobody's going to hurt you, 3PO.

Master Anakin? Oh, Miss Padm�. Thank goodness you're unharmed.

I was so worried. You left without notifying-

- You look different, 3PO. - Oh. It must be this disguise.

- No, 3PO. It's your new gold plating. - Gold plating?

Oh, yes. In the service of a senator, one must be presentable.

- Well, let's see it. - Here? Now? In this neighborhood? Oh.

Very well. If you wish.

Impressive. Most impressive.

Yes, I rather fancy it myself.

Young one. The council requires your presence immediately.

I'll be right there, Master.

- Don't want to go. - You must, Ani.

- I love you. - Mmm.

Anakin, you're late.

Oh.

When the council requests your presence, it is always of great importance.

If I'm late for another scolding, does it really matter?

Scolding? You're not a little boy anymore...

but as long as you are my student, you will heed my wisdom.

You're right. I'm not a little boy...

and as far as your wisdom goes, you're no Qui-Gon Jinn.

Master, forgive me. L- I didn't mean-

I know. I miss him too.

Not a day goes by that I don't look to his wisdom for guidance.

I've done my best to pass his teaching to you, and in our time together...

you have proven to me that you are capable of all he believed you would be.

And now we must leave our roles as master and student.

- It is time we became... brothers. - Master?

Step forward, Padawan.

Anakin Skywalker, by the right of the council...

by the will of the Force...

dub thee I do... Jedi...

knight of the Republic.

[Beeps]

[Beeping]

I wonder how many they'll send.

We've got so much firepower in here.

These walls are ray-shielded. They can't take this fort.

It'll probably be, uh, 50 Jedi. They'll need at least that many.

Maybe a hundred Jedi. They'll never take this base with less.

Hah. They'll need an army ofJedi. [Laughs]

- I have a visual. - Jedi?

- I think so. - How many? A thousand?

- No. - Eighty?

- No, sir. - What? Fifty?

- Less. - Forty? Come on. How many?

- Two. - What? Give me those.

[Engines Roaring]

[Cheering]

[Beeping]

- [Rain Pattering] - [Blasters Firing In Distance]

[Thunder Rumbling]

- General Kenobi. - Commander Cody.

The siege goes well. With our continued barrage, their shield should be down in three months.

But we've been here a month already.

Yes, sir. We're right on schedule.

Oh.

- What is that? - Lunch.

[Squeaking]

- [Chewing] - How can you eat that?

But, Master, you're the one who always taught me to feed off the living Force.

That's not what l-

- Where did you get that stuff anyway? - From the enemy camp.

What? You were there? What were you doing?

- [Squeaking] - Reconnaissance.

How did you penetrate the shield?

[Slurping]

I found this ancient sewer that goes right under the old city.

So I assume the plan is to crawl through the sewer...

work our way to the shield generator...

fight our way through the defenses...

blow up the generator, knocking out the shield...

and all our troops swarm in and overwhelm the enemy.

Yep. Let's go.

What an incredible smell you've discovered.

- [Obi-Wan] What now? - We swim.

I knew you were going to say that.

[Electronic Humming]

- Let's go. - No, no, no, no. Wait.

- Did you say something? - Negative.

There are alternatives to fighting.

That's no fun.

All units attack. Let's go!

Nice job, my friend. Nice job.

[Thump]

[Grunts]

[Grunting]

Stop using the standard attacks. Use the unorthodox.

How often must I tell you? Control my central line.

Good.

Faster. Destroy my focus.

You're holding the saber too tightly.

Now too lightly.

Mmm. A new one?

Your training has served me well.

It has awarded me many trophies.

Don't let your pursuit of trinkets cloud your reality.

Remember what I taught you, General.

If you are to succeed in combat against the best of theJedi...

you must have fear, surprise and intimidation on your side.

For if any one element is lacking...

it would be best for you to retreat.

You must break them before you engage them.

Only then will you ensure victory and have your trophy.

Wise counsel, my apprentice. Most wise.

My master.

Report, General. What news from the front?

The strategy is working perfectly, my lord.

TheJedi and their forces are stretched thin across the outer rim worlds...

in a vain attempt to contain our new offensive.

Good. Good. Now is the time to strike.

Now is the time to launch our final operation.

Is everything ready for your special mission?

Yes, Lord Sidious.

The unsuspecting fools know not what awaits.

Typical. The weather clears as soon as we're leaving.

General. Urgent message from Coruscant.

[Palpatine] We are most pleased with your performance- both of you.

With your command of the third army...

I'm sure we are well on our way to achieving victory in this war.

But for every system that is liberated...

it seems another is taken, prolonging this conflict.

- We must stop this war at its source. - Grievous.

[Windu] We have questionable intel on this at best.

On the contrary, my intelligence assures me that my information is quite accurate.

General Grievous has been spotted on a number of occasions traveling to planet Nelvaan...

deep in the outer rim territories.

I'm told he is there right now.

I do believe Grievous is the key to bringing an end to this conflict.

- One can only hope. You are to leave immediately. - May the Force be with you.

Sending us on a reconnaissance mission? This doesn't feel right.

Don't look at it that way, Master.

Think of it as... reconnaissance in force.

Your favorite.

[Both Laughing]

Sir. The scan shows no enemy forces in the area.

- [Obi-Wan] You're sure? - Yes, sir.

Just strange geothermal readings in Sector 8.

- [Anakin] We'll check it out. - Sir.

[Squeaking, Sniffing]

[Squawking]

- [Rustling] - [Weapons Cock]

- I don't think it's lethal, trooper. - Yes, sir.

[Chittering]

- Something's startling these creatures. - And it's not us.

- I feel it too. - A disturbance.

[Wings Flapping]

I've got a bad feeling about this.

[Snarls]

[Growling]

[Roars]

Wait. No, wait!

[Groans, Roars]

What?

[Speaking Alien Language]

I don't think you should have done that.

The city is under attack.

Defend the city we must.

Master Windu. Enemy starships continue to spill out of hyperspace.

Our forces are holding, but they need help.

Get up there and take command.

May the Force be with you.

And you.

[Creatures Lowing]

- Master. - Yes, Anakin. I know.

There are only women and children.

[Alien Language]

[Moans Softly]

It seems you've interrupted the boy's rite of passage... or test.

How do you know what they are saying?

When you travel the universe with Qui-Gon Jinn, you tend to learn a few things.

[Alien Language]

[Obi-Wan] Something plagues their land.

Champion after champion have been sent out, yet none have returned.

They were choosing another one when you intervened.

[Alien Language]

I'm not sure if I've heard this right.

It seems you have to journey into fire.

What?

Oh, no!

- Milady, we must get you to safety. - We're under attack!

No. We have to evacuate the building.

- Oh, dear. - Get everyone to a shelter.

- Yes, milady. - I don't believe my circuits. An army of droids, here?

I'd like to have a serious talk with your programmers about-

- Come on, 3PO. - Whoa!

[Alarm Beeping]

[Beeping]

[Beeps, Clicks]

- We've got three on our tail. - [Alarm Beeping]

Now four.

Take them out.

- Good shooting. - Um, it- it wasn't me.

General Windu.

General Tiin, the ship is lost.

- It's time to get a new one. - Yes, sir.

Prepare to board!

[All Grunt]

Attack!

[Cheering]

[Alien Language]

- What's he saying? - They're summoning the spirit of the fire.

"The mother weeps.

"She is sick. Our warriors have failed-

"failed to heal the mother.

"Into the never-ending winter a stranger comes.

Tell us why he has come. What is his purpose?"

[Alien Language]

[Chattering]

They're saying "ghost hand." They think, ah-

[Obi-Wan Speaks Alien Language]

[Muttering]

- What are you doing? - No, it's what you're doing.

[Man] Alert. We are losing ground in Sector 4. Repeat. Losing ground in Sector 4.

[Screeching]

[Alien Language]

He says, "This may hurt a bit."

Is this really necessary?

It's part of their ritual. You must be respectful.

- [Alien Language] - "You must follow the wind, for it is the mother's cry.

"Travel her tears. They are frozen with fear.

Enter the mother's mouth to awake her inner flame. '"

[Nickers]

Anakin, though you've never had the official trials...

this war has tested you more than the trials could- save one.

Master Yoda foresaw this.

The Force has guided us here for your final trial-

the one you've never truly faced.

Master, I haven't always been a patient student, but I have proven myself.

I am a Jedi knight. I won't fail you.

No, Anakin. Don't fail yourself.

May the Force be with you.

Sector 4 needs reinforcements. We are being overrun. Repeat, we are-

Fall back. Fall back. Fall back.

Hold your positions. Hold your positions.

Master Windu.

Attack.

[Rumbling]

[Slurping]

- [Doorbell Chimes] - Come in.

Supreme Chancellor, we must get you to your shelter immediately.

But the battle is so far off.

Please, Supreme Chancellor. We must follow safety protocol and get you to-

I will not cower in the face of this treacherous attack.

[Banging]

- [Banging Continues] - Uh, what is that-

What is that sound?

We have to go. Now!

[Banging Stops]

Hmm. See. It was nothing.

Chancellor.

How dare you barge into my private residence. Who do you think you are?

- Chancellor, I don't think- - I'll take care of this.

I am Supreme Chancellor Palpatine of the Galactic Republic...

and I will not be bullied by any thug who happens to-

Take him.

[Growls]

[Screams]

- [Beeps] - [Blaster Fire, Lightsaber Strikes Continue]

[Blaster Fire, Lightsaber Strikes Stop]

- Stay behind me. - Yes.

[Beeping]

[Beeps]

[Roars]

[Wheezing]

Ithorians. Four throats. Quite powerful.

So I've heard.

[Coughing]

Hurry. Get to the ship.

[Roars]

Trooper, call for support.

We're being jammed. We have no communication. We're on our own.

[Screaming]

[Obi-Wan's Voice] "You must follow the wind, for it is the mother's cry.

"Travel her tears. They are frozen with fear.

Enter the mother's mouth to awake her inner flame. '"

[Rumbling]

[Growls]

[Growling]

[Screeches]

[Screeches]

[Groans]

[Padm�'s Voice] Anakin!

[Rumbling, Machinery Thumping]

- [Speaking Alien Language] - No.

[Computerized Male Voice] Please deposit two Repub- Please deposit two-

Please deposit two Republic credits.

Please- Please- Please- Please deposit two Republic credits.

[Speaking Alien Language]

Yes. Brilliant job. Master Yoda would be-

We have to leave.

And so it ends. A valiant effort...

but, as you can see, ultimately futile.

Now, Jedi, prepare yourself...

for you are about to leave this world.

- I don't think so. - [Beeps]

- [Sighs] - Excellent work, MasterJedi.

Hurry.

[Machinery Thumping Continues]

[Male Voice] But, sir, the brain modulations...

aren't fully integrated or tested yet.

- Specimen control cannot be guaranteed. - No matter.

Grievous grows impatient. We must deliver the prototypes.

- But we're just not ready. - Our concerns are of little consequence to General Grievous.

Begin the final phase and bring the last specimen forward.

- I will perform the procedure myself. - Yes, sir.

[Gasps] Nelvaan warrior?

What are they doing to you?

- [Electricity Crackles] - No!

[Lightsaber Activates]

Jedi!

- Unleash the specimens. - But they're not ready.

I said unleash them.

Attack. Attack.

Wait. I'm here to help.

You've been altered. You must gain control of yourselves. Please, stop.

- I don't want to harm you. - [Roaring]

Forward. Keep up the pressure on the right.

- Sir, what about our left flank? - TheJedi have the left.

Go now. No longer safe for you it is.

Strange is the enemy's strategy.

A massive invasion but no attempt to take the temple or senate.

Unless an elaborate distraction.

To hide their primary objective.

[Together] Palpatine.

- General Windu. - Pilot, turn this ship around.

Yes, sir.

Get inside. Get to the bunker.

My dear, what about you?

I will stay... and hold them off.

But we don't know for sure if they're still following.

Make no mistake. They are coming.

Protect the chancellor.

- [Speaking Alien Language] - And you.

This selfless sacrifice will be long remembered...

in the archives of theJedi order.

[Engine Starts]

[Footsteps Approaching]

[Anakin] You're not yourselves. You're being manipulated.

You are Nelvaan warriors. You must control yourselves.

You must stop. I will defend myself.

[Groaning]

[Roars]

[Groans, Roars]

- [Speaking Alien Language] - What?

[Murmurs]

Apu.

Hmm.

[Obi-Wan] You've done a great thing for these people. Well done, Anakin.

But tell me more of your experience in the cave.

I listened to the mother, just as the shaman said.

I was shown a vision. Do you think they'll be able to reclaim their old lives?

I sense they will, as long as each of them is willing to accept himself.

[Gasps] No.

You're mine, old man.

I'm not afraid of you.

You wouldn't dare harm the supreme chancellor of the Republic.

Whatever would your masters say?

You are lucky they want you alive.

[Gasps] Chancellor!

Shaak Ti, my dear. You've come to rescue me.

[Shouts]

- You're tired, Jedi. - [Grunting]

You won't be needing this. I've got something else for you.

[Electricity Crackling]

[Shouts, Coughs]

- [Electricity Crackling] - Shaak Ti.

I failed.

[Beeping]

No, R2. There are things that are far more painful.

You weren't in the med lab. I thought I might find you here.

We're just finishing up. See? Good as new.

Anakin, the most difficult trial a Jedi must face is to look inside oneself.

Often we see things we don't like...

but these aspects are not set in stone.

It is our decisions that shape our destinies.

[Beeping]

An urgent message from Coruscant? Patch it through.

Kenobi, Skywalker. Coruscant is under siege...

and General Grievous has abducted the supreme chancellor.

You must return immediately. You must rescue Palpatine.

Grievous. Battle stations.

All crews to their fighters. Prepare to jump into hyperspace. Move!
