01x01 - A Way Forward

[bunniefuu]

She often spoke of returning here.

I will always love you.

[voice] Wake up.

[grunts]

[voices whispering indistinctly]

Quinlan, wait!

[Talzin] Stop!

He cannot hear you.

Mother Talzin.

How can this be?

[Mother Talzin] You are dead.

But this need not be so.

The Jedi's words are a gift to you.

Do you love him?

Then there are two paths before you.

You may join me and your sisters

in this realm,

or you may return

to the land of the living.

At what cost?

Your heart's desire.

[grunts]

[grunts]

[chattering]

[datapad beeping]

[beeps]

No ticket, no ride.

I don't have any money.

No money, no ticket.

I need to get out of here.

Your problems are not my problems.

[grunting]

Perhaps you should leave.

[grunts, groans]

While you're alive.

I pay you to kick 'em out, not k*ll 'em.

That'd be bad for business.

He's out.

Well, you got some skills.

I'll give you that.

Maybe we should be branching out.

Make some real money.

I don't want that life anymore.

The peace and quiet appeals to me.

That's why I took the job.

This appeals to you?

This doesn't appeal to me and I live here.

[chirping]

[stormtroopers chattering]

I need passage on the next shuttle.

That's all I have.

Well, that ain't enough.

But this is enough.

I said, this is enough.

No, it's not.

If you can't pay, you gotta leave.

She's right.

You should get going.

Please, help me.

You should be capable of helping yourself.

I can't.

I've lost everything. Please.

I'm sure there's someone you can turn to.

There isn't.

Everyone I know is dead.

Same.

Be quiet.

Stay down and keep your mouth shut.

- Thank you.

- Shut.

What are you doing?

Is he in some kind of trouble?

You keep shut too.

Keep shut?

[door beeps]

[stormtrooper]

We need to see your credentials.

And clear out.

We're gonna sweep this station.

Is there a problem?

There's going to be if you don't comply.

- [Force rumbling]

- There's no problem here.

There's no problem here.

There hasn't been anyone

through here all day.

There hasn't been anyone here all day.

Try docking bay 24.

Let's go.

- We're gonna check out docking bay 24.

- [stormtrooper 2] Yes, sir.

If you see anything, report it.

There's a substantial reward.

Reward? Wait! They're back here!

It's them. Arrest them all.

I really did like the peace and quiet.

- [stormtrooper 1] What the--

- Blast them!

[stormtroopers grunting]

Who are you?

If you don't know,

consider it a good thing.

You're the first Jedi

I've seen that survived.

[pants] What did you do, kid?

There are Imperials all over the place.

I haven't done anything.

I've been trying to get away.

I I've been secretive.

Well, you haven't been that secretive.

Everybody seems to know you're here.

Well, that's not my fault.

My whole life is ruined because of you.

You didn't have to help me.

Well, we all make bad decisions.

[chuckles] I can relate.

I can't believe this.

It's been so long

since I've seen another Jedi.

What's your name? How'd you get here?

Do you know how to find the Path?

I have no idea what you're talking about.

The Path.

It's how the Jedi are escaping the Empire.

They're finding a place

and getting young people

and old people like you to safety.

Not that you're old.

But you know what I mean.

Will you just be quiet?

Come on. You must know. The Path.

Rumors are Quinlan Vos

and the others established it.

Wait. What did you say?

It's where young and old people go.

No, not that part. The other part.

Quinlan Vos? He established it.

I don't know about any path.

Right now we need to get you out of here.

But you're coming with me, aren't you?

No.

[indistinct chatter on intercom]

Here. This is more than enough.

Who are you?

Someone who knows how to stay hidden.

And if I were you, I'd do the same.

[blasters firing in distance]

- Too late.

- [grunting in distance]

He's here.

[civilians clamoring]

Go. I'll deal with this.

[lightsaber humming]

[screams]

- [grunts]

- [Force rumbles]

- [Force rumbles]

- [grunts]

[grunts]

[grunts]

You don't fight like a Jedi.

I know who you are.

You should've stayed dead.

[groans]

[screams]

[grunts]

[grunts]

[grunting]

[grunts]

[groans]

Come on!

[Force rumbling]

You are a great Jedi.

Please, you must tell me who you are.

I was a commander

in the Separatist Alliance,

in the w*r against the Republic

and the Jedi Knights.

I was Count Dooku's lead assassin.

And I probably k*lled several people

that you know personally.

My name is Asajj Ventress.
