[Imperial shuttle approaching]
4
00:01:02,708 --> 00:01:04,041
On final approach, Governor.
5
00:01:05,833 --> 00:01:06,833
[clears throat]
6
00:01:13,083 --> 00:01:14,875
[siren continues]

[screaming, shouting]

00:01:38,416 --> 00:01:41,375
- [siren stops]
- [screaming, shouting continues]
9
00:01:58,416 --> 00:02:01,875
I am Tawni Ames, Governor of Desix.
10
00:02:01,875 --> 00:02:03,875
State your business here.
11
00:02:04,541 --> 00:02:08,333
[clears throat] I am here to relieve you
of your title, Mistress Ames,
12
00:02:08,333 --> 00:02:10,333
by order of the Galactic Empire.
13
00:02:11,416 --> 00:02:14,333
As I have told your government,
14
00:02:14,333 --> 00:02:18,000
Desix does not fall
under Imperial jurisdiction.
15
00:02:18,708 --> 00:02:22,500
Take your forces and leave peacefully.
16
00:02:22,500 --> 00:02:27,750
Well, your request has been received,
reviewed and, as you can see, rejected.
17
00:02:28,833 --> 00:02:30,916
How disappointing.
18
00:02:33,416 --> 00:02:34,666
[shouts]
19
00:02:41,708 --> 00:02:44,833
I have a message for your Empire.
20
00:02:45,458 --> 00:02:46,458
[grunts]
21
00:02:50,625 --> 00:02:54,333
[ship flying over]

00:03:03,833 --> 00:03:05,541
[alarm continues]
24
00:03:14,791 --> 00:03:17,333
[voice on PA, indistinct]
25
00:03:18,500 --> 00:03:21,916
I heard the Defense Recruitment Bill is up
for a vote again.
26
00:03:22,541 --> 00:03:25,791
Well, let's hope it doesn't pass,
for our sake.
27
00:03:36,625 --> 00:03:37,625
[PA chimes]
28
00:03:37,625 --> 00:03:44,291
[voice on PA] CT-9904, report to
Vice Admiral Rampart's office immediately.
29
00:03:53,041 --> 00:03:55,375
CT-9904.
30
00:03:56,250 --> 00:03:57,250
Congratulations.
31
00:03:57,250 --> 00:03:59,791
You've been medically cleared
for active duty.
32
00:03:59,791 --> 00:04:02,333
Remind me. How long were you left stranded
33
00:04:02,333 --> 00:04:04,666
on that Kaminoan platform
before being recovered?
34
00:04:05,958 --> 00:04:08,083
32 rotations.
35
00:04:08,083 --> 00:04:10,541
Hmm. All that time.
36
00:04:11,208 --> 00:04:13,291
Left for dead and yet you still came back.
37
00:04:13,291 --> 00:04:14,958
[chuckles] Why?
38
00:04:16,041 --> 00:04:18,666
I'm a soldier of the Empire.
39
00:04:19,291 --> 00:04:20,416
I see.
40
00:04:20,416 --> 00:04:23,083
Your loyalty and determination
are commendable.
41
00:04:23,750 --> 00:04:27,000
Which is why I have a mission for you
on the planet Desix.
42
00:04:27,625 --> 00:04:31,250
As far as Separatist worlds are concerned,
it's rather remote.
43
00:04:31,250 --> 00:04:34,791
I normally wouldn't pay it any mind,
but an issue has arisen.
44
00:04:35,291 --> 00:04:36,875
What are my orders?
45
00:04:37,500 --> 00:04:40,833
The newly appointed Imperial governor
has been taken hostage
46
00:04:40,833 --> 00:04:45,833
by insurgents demanding Desix
be recognized as an independent planet.
47
00:04:45,833 --> 00:04:47,125
[scoffs]
48
00:04:47,125 --> 00:04:49,833
But we do not negotiate.
49
00:04:50,791 --> 00:04:54,958
You're being sent in under the guise
of discussing a diplomatic resolution.
50
00:04:55,916 --> 00:04:59,541
Once you arrive, do whatever is necessary
51
00:04:59,541 --> 00:05:03,125
to secure the city
and ensure Governor Grotton's release.
52
00:05:03,791 --> 00:05:05,708
What squad will I be leading?
53
00:05:05,708 --> 00:05:07,750
Oh. [chuckles]
54
00:05:07,750 --> 00:05:10,041
You're not ready to play commander again.
55
00:05:10,666 --> 00:05:11,791
Not yet.
56
00:05:11,791 --> 00:05:14,250
Your new commander will brief you
on the details.
57
00:05:15,250 --> 00:05:17,541
Report to the Battle Memorial
at 0900 hours.
58
00:05:21,500 --> 00:05:22,500
You're dismissed.
59
00:05:45,208 --> 00:05:46,708
[clone commander] Crosshair.
60
00:05:53,625 --> 00:05:56,250
It's been a while. Good to see ya.
61
00:05:56,250 --> 00:06:00,541
Commander Cody? I didn't recognize you.
62
00:06:01,250 --> 00:06:04,916
Yeah. A lot's changed, as you well know.
63
00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:10,291
When I heard you were cleared for duty,
I requested you specifically.
64
00:06:10,291 --> 00:06:12,416
You're lucky I was available.
65
00:06:12,916 --> 00:06:15,791
[chuckles] Word is,
66
00:06:15,791 --> 00:06:20,875
the rest of Clone Force 99 went rogue
after Order 66 came through.
67
00:06:21,458 --> 00:06:22,666
Surprised?
68
00:06:22,666 --> 00:06:26,708
Not really.
Your squad was different by design.
69
00:06:27,625 --> 00:06:29,458
Regs have gone AWOL too.
70
00:06:30,041 --> 00:06:31,416
So I've heard.
71
00:06:31,416 --> 00:06:35,458
Rumors are, more and more clones
have been questioning the Order.
72
00:06:37,500 --> 00:06:41,375
Then they are traitors, like the Jedi.
73
00:06:45,500 --> 00:06:48,416
Well, good soldiers follow orders.
74
00:06:49,291 --> 00:06:50,458
Mm-hmm.
75
00:07:00,500 --> 00:07:03,500
Intel is limited, but here's what we know:
76
00:07:03,500 --> 00:07:07,541
Separatist insurgents,
armed with a battalion of battle droids,
77
00:07:07,541 --> 00:07:11,291
have seized the city
and taken Governor Grotton hostage.
78
00:07:11,291 --> 00:07:14,583
Battle droids?
Didn't they receive the shutdown order?
79
00:07:14,583 --> 00:07:16,750
They could have been reprogrammed.
80
00:07:17,291 --> 00:07:19,708
The insurgents are expecting
a diplomatic envoy.
81
00:07:20,291 --> 00:07:22,833
We catch them by surprise,
wipe out their droids,
82
00:07:23,333 --> 00:07:24,750
and locate Governor Grotton.
83
00:07:25,250 --> 00:07:27,041
Sounds easy enough.
84
00:07:35,208 --> 00:07:37,291
This is Imperial Shuttle 995.
85
00:07:37,875 --> 00:07:40,208
Requesting permission
to enter Desix airspace.
86
00:07:40,958 --> 00:07:44,000
[tactical droid on comm] Granted.
You are cleared for approach.
87
00:07:47,833 --> 00:07:49,750
[Grotton grunts] Release me this instant!
88
00:07:49,750 --> 00:07:52,958
Negative. The Governor said
to keep a close eye on you.
89
00:07:52,958 --> 00:07:56,500
[grunts] I am the legitimate governor
of Desix, you scrap heap!
90
00:07:56,500 --> 00:07:58,166
Mm-hmm.
91
00:07:58,166 --> 00:08:01,458
You'll have your freedom
once we have ours.
92
00:08:01,458 --> 00:08:04,958
[pants] The Empire will never agree
to your terms.
93
00:08:04,958 --> 00:08:08,250
Precisely why I know
that "diplomatic envoy" they're sending
94
00:08:08,250 --> 00:08:11,125
is anything but peaceful.
95
00:08:12,875 --> 00:08:15,083
Dooku was right in the end.
96
00:08:15,583 --> 00:08:18,166
He knew the Republic was corrupt,
97
00:08:18,166 --> 00:08:22,250
that it would collapse
and become something worse.
98
00:08:22,750 --> 00:08:27,208
He saw it coming. The Galactic Empire.
99
00:08:27,208 --> 00:08:31,291
You lost that war.
You will lose this as well.
100
00:08:50,041 --> 00:08:52,958
Governor.
The Imperial shuttle is within range.
101
00:08:53,708 --> 00:08:56,208
Let's welcome them, shall we?
102
00:08:56,791 --> 00:08:57,916
[tactical droid] Affirmative.
103
00:08:59,250 --> 00:09:02,416
It looks like they've chosen
not to negotiate.
104
00:09:03,875 --> 00:09:04,958
How unfortunate...
105
00:09:06,833 --> 00:09:08,041
for you.
106
00:09:21,625 --> 00:09:23,958
Air strike team, move into position.
107
00:09:40,958 --> 00:09:42,208
- [alarm blaring]
- We've been hit!
108
00:09:48,958 --> 00:09:50,125
Fire!
109
00:09:50,791 --> 00:09:51,791
[alarm blaring]
110
00:09:59,000 --> 00:10:00,291
Nice shot!
111
00:10:05,291 --> 00:10:09,208
The Imperial vessel has been neutralized
and crashed in Sector Five.
112
00:10:11,791 --> 00:10:14,916
Send scouts to the wreck.
Check for any survivors.
113
00:10:15,541 --> 00:10:16,541
Yes, Governor.
114
00:10:37,791 --> 00:10:39,541
That doesn't look good.
115
00:10:39,541 --> 00:10:41,041
Yeah. For them.
116
00:10:41,625 --> 00:10:44,666
We found the shuttle.
There are no survivors.
117
00:10:44,666 --> 00:10:47,083
[tactical droid on comm]
Confirmed. Return to the city.
118
00:10:47,083 --> 00:10:48,166
Roger, roger.
119
00:10:49,041 --> 00:10:50,666
[battle droids grunting]
120
00:10:58,625 --> 00:11:01,708
[Crosshair]
That buys us time, but not much.
121
00:11:02,208 --> 00:11:05,291
[Cody] Without a ship,
we'll have to infiltrate the city on foot.
122
00:11:07,500 --> 00:11:09,541
Half the squad's too injured to continue.
123
00:11:10,083 --> 00:11:12,166
[Crosshair]
I've beaten clankers with far less.
124
00:11:18,750 --> 00:11:20,333
First things first.
125
00:11:27,083 --> 00:11:29,208
[Cody groans] There's not enough cover.
126
00:11:29,708 --> 00:11:32,208
Any direction we come at that tank,
they'll pick us off.
127
00:11:32,208 --> 00:11:35,000
[Crosshair] These tanks
all have the same weakness.
128
00:11:35,916 --> 00:11:37,500
The droids operating them.
129
00:11:38,500 --> 00:11:41,750
I'll draw their fire
while you move into position.
130
00:11:43,250 --> 00:11:44,500
Trust me.
131
00:11:45,458 --> 00:11:47,625
[Cody] You do make things interesting.
132
00:12:01,708 --> 00:12:03,708
[yelps] Where did that come from?
133
00:12:06,291 --> 00:12:08,458
It's there. Turn to 350.
134
00:13:03,166 --> 00:13:04,166
[grunts]
135
00:13:04,708 --> 00:13:05,708
[screams]
136
00:13:27,791 --> 00:13:31,250
Direct shot down the barrel. Nice touch.
137
00:13:31,250 --> 00:13:33,208
They're moving in coordinated waves.
138
00:13:33,208 --> 00:13:35,791
There has to be
a tactical droid giving them orders.
139
00:13:36,291 --> 00:13:38,041
Then let's divide their forces.
140
00:13:38,625 --> 00:13:41,791
Wyler, Nova, you're with us.
We'll take the north access.
141
00:13:41,791 --> 00:13:43,166
Team two, take the south.
142
00:13:46,791 --> 00:13:48,333
[Tawni] They've breached our perimeter.
143
00:13:48,333 --> 00:13:51,916
They've split their assault.
Recommend protocol four.
144
00:13:51,916 --> 00:13:54,375
See it done. I'll secure Grotton.
145
00:14:04,958 --> 00:14:05,958
[screams]
146
00:14:16,291 --> 00:14:19,541
It's okay. We're here to help.
147

[whirring]
148
00:14:25,583 --> 00:14:27,041
Do you hear that?
149
00:14:28,208 --> 00:14:29,333
[Crosshair] Droidekas.
150
00:14:31,250 --> 00:14:33,250
[whirring continues]
151
00:14:40,875 --> 00:14:42,250
[screams]
152
00:14:42,250 --> 00:14:44,166
[Crosshair] Hit him with a popper.
153
00:14:53,750 --> 00:14:54,750
[screams]
154
00:15:12,458 --> 00:15:15,916
[whirring]
155
00:15:34,875 --> 00:15:36,250
[Cody] Find that tac droid yet?
156
00:15:41,125 --> 00:15:44,208
It's in the bell tower,
but I can't get a clear line of sight.
157
00:15:44,208 --> 00:15:46,166
Well, let's remedy that.
158
00:15:53,833 --> 00:15:55,166
Oh.
159
00:15:55,166 --> 00:15:56,333

[Cody] Nova!
164
00:16:49,583 --> 00:16:50,833
Secure the tower.
165
00:16:51,958 --> 00:16:53,875

00:17:08,583 --> 00:17:09,666
[Cody] Any ideas?
169
00:17:09,666 --> 00:17:11,583
Just try and keep up.
170
00:17:15,666 --> 00:17:17,541

[coughs]
176
00:17:57,250 --> 00:17:59,750
Hold tight. I'll take out the tac droid.
177
00:17:59,750 --> 00:18:02,250
I can make the shot from here. [coughs]
178
00:18:02,916 --> 00:18:04,333
Give me a line of sight.
179
00:18:16,458 --> 00:18:18,541
- Where do you need the puck?
- Throw it.
180
00:18:18,541 --> 00:18:19,625
How far?
181
00:18:20,166 --> 00:18:21,666
[Crosshair] As far as you can.
182
00:18:24,875 --> 00:18:27,000
Defend the governor at all costs.
183
00:18:31,916 --> 00:18:32,833
[grunts]
184
00:18:37,125 --> 00:18:38,166
[grunts]
185
00:18:38,166 --> 00:18:39,375
[groans]
186
00:18:44,250 --> 00:18:46,125
[powers down]
187
00:18:47,291 --> 00:18:49,125
[battle droid]
We need more reinforcements.
188
00:18:49,833 --> 00:18:52,541
Commander? [shouts]
189
00:18:54,875 --> 00:18:57,791
[Crosshair coughs] Nice throw.
190
00:18:58,375 --> 00:18:59,416
[Cody] Nice shot.
191
00:19:05,791 --> 00:19:08,291
[clone trooper on comm]
Sir, the droid forces have been defeated.
192
00:19:08,291 --> 00:19:10,791
Scour the city. Find Governor Grotton.
193
00:19:10,791 --> 00:19:12,375
[Tawni] There's no need.
194
00:19:13,791 --> 00:19:16,291
[grunting] Do something!
195
00:19:17,208 --> 00:19:20,666
I'm Tawni Ames. The rightful governor.
196
00:19:20,666 --> 00:19:23,333
We have official Imperial orders.
197
00:19:23,333 --> 00:19:26,708
Desix separated from the Republic
years ago, Commander.
198
00:19:26,708 --> 00:19:28,541
We are an independent system.
199
00:19:29,541 --> 00:19:31,666
Once your government acknowledges this,
200
00:19:31,666 --> 00:19:34,708
Grotton and his soldiers
will be handed over.
201
00:19:36,083 --> 00:19:37,833
Those are my terms.
202
00:19:37,833 --> 00:19:40,000
We're not here
to debate politics with you.
203
00:19:40,000 --> 00:19:44,458
If you did,
you might see how unjust your actions are.
204
00:19:44,458 --> 00:19:47,625
Your droid army attacked
two Imperial convoys.
205
00:19:47,625 --> 00:19:51,500
We were defending ourselves
from a hostile occupation.
206
00:19:52,000 --> 00:19:55,166
Your forces are the only threat
to my people.
207
00:19:55,750 --> 00:19:57,666
We are not the enemy.
208
00:19:58,208 --> 00:20:02,375
The Empire seeks to establish
peace and order throughout the galaxy.
209
00:20:03,000 --> 00:20:04,333
- Peace?
- [grunts]
210
00:20:04,833 --> 00:20:07,583
There was a time I believed in that.
211
00:20:08,083 --> 00:20:11,916
So much so, my colleague
Mina Bonteri and I put forth a treaty
212
00:20:11,916 --> 00:20:14,791
with Separatist
and Republic senators alike
213
00:20:14,791 --> 00:20:16,333
to end the war.
214
00:20:17,708 --> 00:20:20,541
Your Supreme Chancellor rejected it.
215
00:20:22,041 --> 00:20:27,208
I realized then,
peace was never an option.
216
00:20:39,833 --> 00:20:41,541
It's an option now.
217
00:20:46,750 --> 00:20:50,583
Listen, we both lived through one war.
218
00:20:51,125 --> 00:20:53,083
Let's not start another.
219
00:20:53,958 --> 00:20:55,750
Too many people have died already.
220
00:20:56,791 --> 00:21:00,083
We can resolve this
without more bloodshed.
221
00:21:04,416 --> 00:21:08,500
Please, do this for your people.
222
00:21:10,708 --> 00:21:12,083
[grunting]
223
00:21:16,875 --> 00:21:20,791
[panting, grunts]
224
00:21:20,791 --> 00:21:23,458
Nicely handled. Now execute her.
225
00:21:23,458 --> 00:21:26,125
Sir, I promised a peaceful--
226
00:21:26,125 --> 00:21:29,791
You did. I didn't. Now execute her!
227
00:21:37,000 --> 00:21:38,708
So much for peace.
228
00:21:42,208 --> 00:21:44,041
I gave you an order.
229
00:21:44,041 --> 00:21:46,625
Follow it,
or face the consequences for diso--
230
00:21:46,625 --> 00:21:48,000
[blaster fires]
231
00:21:48,000 --> 00:21:48,958
[Tawni grunts]
232
00:21:50,541 --> 00:21:52,708
[sighs]
233
00:21:52,708 --> 00:21:53,791
[body thuds]
234
00:22:01,416 --> 00:22:04,666
[chuckles] Put her body in the square.
235
00:22:04,666 --> 00:22:06,791
Let it be a warning to the rest of them.
236
00:23:24,708 --> 00:23:27,708
[shuttle approaches]
237
00:24:19,250 --> 00:24:21,791
Tell me something, Crosshair.
238
00:24:23,083 --> 00:24:25,583
This new Empire...
239
00:24:26,750 --> 00:24:28,875
Are we making the galaxy better?
240
00:24:29,625 --> 00:24:33,041
We're soldiers.
We do what needs to be done.
241
00:24:34,500 --> 00:24:37,541
Well, you know what makes us different
from battle droids?
242
00:24:39,208 --> 00:24:42,750
We make our own decisions.
Our own choices.
243
00:24:46,000 --> 00:24:49,541
And we have to live with them too.
244
00:25:19,750 --> 00:25:21,333
[alarm sounding]
245
00:25:37,583 --> 00:25:38,583
[PA chimes]
246
00:25:38,583 --> 00:25:44,291
[voice on PA] CT-9904,
report to Vice Admiral Rampart's office.
247
00:25:54,583 --> 00:25:58,166
After your success on Desix,
I'm entrusting you with another mission.
248
00:25:58,708 --> 00:26:01,041
Report to CC-1226.
249
00:26:01,541 --> 00:26:04,041
Why not Commander Cody?
250
00:26:05,208 --> 00:26:08,958
- Cody?
- CC-2224.
251
00:26:08,958 --> 00:26:10,083
[scoffs]
252
00:26:10,083 --> 00:26:14,458
Ah, yes. It appears he has gone AWOL.
253
00:26:16,666 --> 00:26:20,333
Clone loyalty does not seem
to be as advertised anymore.
254
00:26:21,000 --> 00:26:22,458
Funny, isn't it?
255
00:26:23,208 --> 00:26:26,708
How these clones around you
keep disappearing.
256
00:26:30,083 --> 00:26:31,083
Problem?
257
00:26:31,875 --> 00:26:34,458
No, sir.
258
00:26:35,041 --> 00:26:37,666
Hmm. Then you're dismissed.
