"♪♪" "Once we drop out of hyperspace, we'll be going dark." "Are you sure about this?" "Yes." "Ahsoka, you don't have to go to Malachor alone." "I could be there in two rotations." "I'm not alone, Rex." "You know, I could have ordered you to take me along." "You don't exactly outrank me anymore." "In my book, experience outranks everything." "Hmm, then I definitely outrank you." "May the Force be with you." "Why is Rex so worried?" "Uh, what does he know that I don't?" "Malachor has always been off-limits to Jedi." "Why?" "(SIGHS) Old legends." "Stories told to us as younglings in the temple." "There's always a bit of truth in legends." "If Malachor is off limits, why would Master Yoda send us here?" "I don't know, but I trust Master Yoda." "There's something here for us." "Yeah, something to help us stop the Inquisitors." "Knowledge." "(CHOPPER GRUNTING)" "A ship?" "What type?" "(CHOPPER GRUNTING THROUGH COMLINK)" "(SIGHS) He can't tell." "Track it, let's see who else is interested in this place." "Whoa, look, up ahead." "What is that?" "I don't know, but the ship we're tracking went there." "I'm gonna set her down." "I don't see any ship." "It's gotta be around here somewhere." "Chopper, try to get a fix on its location." "(CHOPPER GRUNTING)" "EZRA:" "What are these things?" "This writing..." "It's in the old tongue." "Can you read it?" "(SIGHS) I can try." "It's a very old form, I can only make out a few words." "(READING IN ALIEN LANGUAGE)" "No!" "Ezra, don't!" "(ALL YELLING)" "(ALL GRUNTING)" "(PANTING)" "What is that?" "A Sith temple." "(CHOPPER GRUNTING THROUGH COMLINK)" "Oh, we might fall through the surface?" "Thanks for the warning, Chop." "Any fix on that ship yet?" "(CHOPPER GRUNTING)" "He's picked up the trail." "This way." "I bet whatever we're looking for is inside that Temple." "KANAN:" "Seems likely." "Just remember, if there's a ship, we're not alone down here." "Ahsoka, you said we're here to find knowledge." "What kind of knowledge?" "The forbidden kind." "To defeat your enemy, you have to understand them." "No better place to learn about the Sith, I guess." "The ground looks scorched." "Whoa, Kanan!" "Look, a lightsaber." "And another." "(LIGHTSABER ACTIVATING)" "(LIGHTSABER DE-ACTIVATING)" "This was a battlefield." "What happened here?" "It looks like at one time, thousands of years ago," "Jedi knights attacked the temple." "And the Jedi won, right?" "From what I can tell, nobody won." "I hate to break up this history lesson, but we should keep moving." "Well, if you ask me, this whole planet is a riddle." "So if it's a riddle, what's the question?" "Why is Kanan such a... (YELLS) Get down!" "(LIGHTSABERS WHOOSHING)" "(LIGHTSABER ACTIVATING)" "Three Jedi?" "An Inquisitor!" "Take cover!" "(LIGHTSABER WHOOSHING)" "EZRA:" "Kanan!" "KANAN:" "Ezra!" "Ezra, can you hear me?" "(EZRA GROANING)" "I'm okay." "He's getting away, let's go!" "Don't worry about me, I'll catch up!" "(SIGHS) Sure, I'll catch up." "Soon as I figure out where I am." "MAN:" "I know where you are." "You're with me." "(CHUCKLING)" "(LIGHTSABER ACTIVATING)" "Please put your weapon away." "I..." "I mean you no harm." "Stay back!" "I'm warning you, old man." "Forgive me, it..." "It's just, I've been alone so long." "It's been years since I've spoken to anyone." "You live here alone?" "Uh, in the dark?" "Not by choice." "My ship crashed." "I'm trapped, marooned." "I've had to scrounge and scrape to survive." "Look, I'm sorry." "Okay?" "I wish I could help you, but I have to get back to my friends." "Well, perhaps I could help you." "(SCOFFS) I doubt that." "Why are you here?" "I'm not gonna tell you that." "You came for the same reason I did, years ago." "You seek knowledge." "It's in the temple, isn't it?" "And I know the secret way to get inside, but, but I'm too old." "I..." "I..." "I need help to open the door." "What's inside?" "Help me and find out." "Show me this doorway." "Please, this way." "You first." "Do you not trust me?" "I don't know you." "W-Well, then let's change that." "Call me "Old Master."" "And you?" "Call me "Jabba."" "Hmm." "Come then, Jabba." "(LIGHTSABER WHOOSHING) KANAN:" "I've never had an Inquisitor run from me before." "AHSOKA:" "Maybe it's because he's outnumbered." "KANAN:" "He did seem surprised." "I don't think he was looking for us." "Then who is he tracking?" "Hmm... (CHOPPER GRUNTING)" "You found the ship?" "Where?" "(CHOPPER GRUNTING)" "KANAN: (THROUGH COMLINK) No, no." "Forget it, no time!" "Get over there and find that ship." "Do not let him take off!" "We'll follow your signal." "(LIGHTSABER ACTIVATING)" "(FRUSTRATED GRUNTING)" "KANAN: (THROUGH COMLINK) No, disobeying me is gonna be dangerous." "Now get going!" "(GRUNTING)" "EZRA:" "How much further?" "You worry about your friends?" "They need my help." "Yes, (SIGHS) and with good reason." "The Inquisitor is powerful." "Wait, you know about the Inquisitor?" "(SIGHS) He is my enemy." "All Inquisitors and their masters are my enemies." "Were you a Jedi?" "Uh, no." "No, no." "But I was once a Force-wielder, long ago." "Long, long ago." "Then you're a Sith?" "The Sith..." "The Sith took everything from me." "Ripped me from my mother's arms, murdered my brother, used me as a weapon, and then cast me aside." "Abandoned me." "Once, I had power, now I have nothing." "Nothing." "I know how you feel." "The Empire, it took away my home, and my mother, and my father." "And you want revenge." "I want justice!" "Yes, yes!" "And you shall have it, for I have discovered the key." "The key to what?" "The key to destroying the Sith." "Well, that is the knowledge inside the temple?" "Yes, that temple holds secrets of the Sith, secrets that have been buried with the dead for thousands of years." "And you'll share this knowledge with me?" "Yes." "Yes, of course."

"A place of worship for some." "To others, an engine of destruction." "But at its heart, our prize." "How do we get in?" "Two must lift these stones." "No more, no less." "That is the way of the Sith." "You seem to know an awful lot about them." "To defeat your enemy, you must know your enemy." "Even practice their beliefs." "Yeah, my master wouldn't approve of that last part." "Then he is doomed to fail." "(SIGHS) Now, young Jedi, help me." "(GRUNTING)" "I can't." "It's too heavy." "Your anger is a wellspring." "You must use it." "But a Jedi is never supposed to act out of emotion." "Your passions give you strength." "And through strength, you gain power." "You have seen it." "You feel it." "You must break your chains." "Yes." "Use your power." "(WALLS RUMBLING)" "(EZRA GRUNTS)" "A dead end!" "Focus!" "(GRUNTING)" "What do we do?" "Release the one behind you."

"You're the fourth Inquisitor we've seen." "How many are there?" "More than enough for the two of you." "(SCOFFS) Nothing can save you." "Why are you on Malachor?" "Hunting." "But you were not expecting us." "Who are you after?" "(CHUCKLES) A shadow." "Behold the key." "It's a holocron." "You know of them?" "Yeah." "My master has one, but it's different." "Because this is a Sith holocron, one that holds all their secrets." "Well, how do we get to it?" "It is a test." "Only someone with the courage to risk oblivion is worthy to claim it." "Throw me." "Yeah, throw me." "I'll jump, and then you use The Force to throw me." "My master and I do it all the time." "Well, a few times anyway." "Look, we can do this."

"(YELLING)" "(EZRA GASPING AND GRUNTING)" "(SIGHS) There was nothing to fear." "You were wise to trust me." "KANAN: (SIGHS) He's inside, I know it." "But there's no way he lifted that door."
