"Male announcer:" "Escape from a separatist prison!" "Carrying information about secret routes into the heart of the Republic and separatist homeworlds, jedi master Even Piell was captured and imprisoned in a fortress known as The Citadel." "Leading an elite strike team, Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin" "Skywalker rescued master Piell and his officers." "Now the jedi have split up to evade separatist forces as they attempt to escape The Citadel." "Artoo, are you and your battle droids ready to go?" "[R2-d2 beeps]" "All right, get the ship fired up." "We'll meet you at the pipeline exit after you've picked up" "Obi-Wan, assuming he's still on schedule." "[R2-d2 beeps]" "This passage will get us near the landing pad." "Artoo, send the shuttle to the rear landing platform." "We've already been given the go-ahead by general Skywalker, sir, assuming you are still on schedule." "The trick will be if Anakin arrives on time." "A probe!" "Did you get it?" "Security doors!" "Move, or you'll be cut in half!" "I can't!" "We lost one." "Looks like we've got some cutting to do." "Count dooku insists that you speak with him, commander." "Well, let's not keep him waiting." "He's already waiting, sir." "Count dooku, my lord, how unexpected." "You may cease the propriety, commander Sobeck." "I understand there is a problem with the jedi prisoner." "An incursion team attempted a rescue, but the situation is taken care of." "Are you in possession of the information the prisoner is carrying?" "Not yet, but we will soon have it." "You are aware that this information will tip the scale of the war to the side that controls it." "Perhaps this is a matter that requires my presence." "No, my lord." "Find them, commander." "Get the information." "Then kill them all." "Don't ever surprise me with a transmission from count dooku." "I need time to prepare!" "Yes, commander." "I am beginning to admire the design of this fortress." "It's raer formidable to evade." "How can you admire such a horrible place?" "Ah, you reveal your shortsightedness." "This ordeal only demonstrates how effective facilities like" "The Citadel are." "Pity it ended up in separatist hands and not ours." "He has a point." "All right, snips, I need you to lead the group." "Keep following the tunnel." "I'll catch up." "Hey, where are you going?" "Obi-Wan's not here, so someone has to protect our flank." "I guess it's a good thing I came along after all." "We've received a coded transmission." "Apparently, they've split up into two groups." "The rendezvous points are the landing field behind the tower, where artoo will pick up Obi-Wan Kenobi, and the pipeline exit, where they'll find Anakin Skywalker." "And what if things don't go according to plan?" "Then we would have to send an entire fleet to get them out of there." "I am concerned that the jedi have elected this child to lead the group." "I've served with her many times, and I trust her, captain." "Uh-oh." "Dead end." "It looks like there are security guards there." "[R2-d2 beeps]" "Okay, boss, we'll land and wait for general Kenobi." "Uh-oh, that doesn't look like general Kenobi." "We'll have to imprwvise." "Your arrival is long overdue." "Where haveou been?" "[R2-d2 beeps]" "Even so, the odds are three to one that you are a traitor." "We will take you to interrogation below." "Yes, sir." "Move it." "[R2-d2 beeps]" "Don't talk back to me, droid." "I'm in charge." "We have captured the shuttle that infiltrated our defenses." "Good." "Guard the shuttle, and we'll lure the jedi into a trap." "[R2-d2 beeps]" "Sorry, commander." "Just wanted to fool them." "What are your orders?" "[R2-d2 beeps]" "You're right." "If we're not at the shuttle, general Kenobi could be walking into a trap." "We'll try to locate them if they get captured." "Look out!" "[Blasters firing]" "[Lightsaber humming]" "What happened?" "Why didn't you blow the wall?" "That part of the plan was your job." "I thought it was a dead end." "If master PLO really assigned you to this mission, he would have briefed you on the plan." "[Loud explosions]" "The shuttle's there, but there's no sign of artoo." "Something might have happened." "We'll have to make our way around to the other side and get a different view." "This could be a trap." "Anakin." "I must commend you on your escape tactics, but in the end, it was easy to predict your every move." "[Cackling]" "This pipe leads up to the top of the Ridge, where artoo will pick us up and get us out of here." "There's the hatch." "Let's go!" "Let's go!" "Everyone in." "Don't use your lights, and make sure your weapons are locked." "The slightest electronic pulse could ignite this whole tube." "I hope somebody tells the droids that." "Welcome back." "I must say, you're not at all what I pictured for someone with such a soft voice." "I want your half of the information." "Give it to me now, or I'll start executing your men." "This is war, Sobeck." "We're all prepared to die to protect that intel." "[Laughs]" "Really?" "[Gasps]" "[Blaster fires]" "Sir, we have located the other group, and our droids are closing in on them." "Your jedi resolve only delays the inevitable." "Take them to interrogation." "Torture them slowly." "[R2-d2 beeps]" "So they were captured, huh?" "And now they're moving them to the prison block?" "[R2-d2 beeps]" "Yes, sir." "We will move to intercept them." "We'll take them from here." "Uh, I think we have a..." "We'll handle it." "Yes, sir." "[R2-d2 beeps]" "Good to see you, artoo." "I wondered where you've been." "[R2-d2 beeps]" "The commander is pleased to see you as well, sir, but would like to return to the shuttle as soon as possible." "Yes, I couldn't agree more." "What about general Skywalker, sir?" "Not to worry." "He'll switch to plan "b."" "How much longer are we going to wander through this tunnel in the dark?" "Captain tarkin, haven't you learned to trust me by now?" "You may have earned my trust, general Skywalker, but my faith in your comrades is still lacking." "You lack faith in the jedi." "I find their tactics ineffective." "The jedi code prevents them from going far enough to achieve victory, to do whatever it takes to win, the very reason why peacekeepers should not be leading a war." "Have I offended you?" "No." "I've also found that we sometimes fall short of victory because of our methods." "Well, I see we agree on something." "I think I found a way out." "What do you see, snips?" "The coast is clear." "Any sign of Obi-Wan and the shuttle?" "No, I don't see him or artoo anywhere." "We've got to go." "There could be a whole battalion of droids out there." "Better than hiding in a fuel line." "[Lightsabers humming]" "[Blasters firing]" "The plan's been compromised." "The shuttle's not coming." "Throw me a charge." "[Loud explosion]" "Let's go." "Time for plan "b."" "There's a plan "b"?" "There's always a backup plan." "We'll meet artoo at Obi-Wan's position." "Based on their recent position, we believe they're traveling along this cave system." "Uh, sir, the prisoners did not make it to the interrogation level." "What..." "Did..." "You..." "Just..." "Say?" "Um, we think they might have gone to the..." "Sir, count dooku commands you to contact him immediately." "Inform count dooku that I am unreachable." "Send all units to the airfield." "It's their only possible way of escape." "Hold it." "Where are you going with these prisoners?" "We're transferring them aboard the shuttle from Citadel to Point Tarron." "Point Tarron?" "There's no outpost there." "Uh, it's new." "[R2-d2 beeps]" "We have orders." "We're coming aboard." "Wait.!" "The prisoners are escaping with reprogrammed battle droids." "Let no one on board that shuttle." "[Lightsaber hums]" "[Blasters firing]" "Sorry I'm late." "How nice of you to join us." "The ship is surrounded." "We need to launch a full forward assault and take that vessel." "We may have a bigger problem:" "Those turrets." "If we don't take them out, they will use them to destroy the shuttle and prevent our escape." "Which is precisely why we should get aboard that shuttle and use the weapon systems to decimate those droids." "Whatever we're gonna do, we better do it fast." "[R2-d2 beeps]" "General Skywalker, a droid is Manning one of those turrets." "They're gonna blow up the shuttle, sir." "This is our only chance." "We've got to stop him." "Echo, look out!" "Echo!" "We have to go now." "[Alarm beeping]" "Master Kenobi, what has happened?" "I'm afraid we've had a situation with the shuttle." "By "situation," he means "big explosion."" "We're gonna need a rescue." "It will be done." "I'm sending our cruisers now." "We'll need to hold out until the council sends a ship." "Not a problem." "We've beat them once." "We'll beat them again." "This landscape is almost impossible to cross." "How are we going to get to the rendezvous point?" "That is the trap of The Citadel." "It was designed so it would be almost impossible for fugitives to get off the surface, even if they escaped the tower." "Oh, lucky we're not just any fugitives." "I hope you're right."
