Star Wars: The Bad Batch (2021–…): Season 2, Episode 4 - Faster - full transcript
I got you this time.
What...
Now you owe me two
cartons of Mantell Mix.
Not so fast. One more
game. Double or nothing.
Hey! Quit running
up the power bill.
It's time to get to work.
I got another job for you.
Hunter and Echo aren't back
from the other mission yet.
I would not call transporting 50
cases of nerf nuggets a "mission."
Nor is it a proper
use of our skill set.
Yeah, well, your skill set will
come in real useful on this one.
Especially you, Muscles. You're
gonna be my security crew.
We will require a more
detailed briefing than that.
No time. The shuttle's waiting.
Maybe it'll be fun.
Works for me.
I am beginning to
understand the need
for added security
in a place like this.
Safa Toma can be a little
rough around the edges
if you don't know
what you're doing.
But lucky for us, I
know my way around.
And if things get dicey,
that's where you come in.
Whoa!
It's called Riot Racing.
Wow! Did you see that?
It appears anything
goes out there.
The smoke's cleared,
and TAY-0's taken the
lead from "Hyper" Rod!
That's my new racer, TAY-0.
He's a real ringer. He's
gonna make me a lot of dough.
And TAY-0 wins!
- TAY-0 wins!
- Follow me.
Greetings, Boss Lady.
Did you enjoy the show?
It was impressive, wasn't
it? Did you see me out there?
Your ringer is a droid?
Oh, I'm so sorry. You have a
problem with droids, human?
You think you can make the split-second
calculation to win out there?
You want to challenge TAY-0?
I do not have enough information about
this sport to determine that at this time.
Then take a seat,
spectacled spectator.
Spectacled spectator.
All right, all right.
Save it for the course.
You don't have to say it, that's... I
was about to save it for the course.
Excuse me. I can't
talk right now.
It's time I prepare for the next
race. Which I'm going to win. TAY-0.
This is a 12 series speeder.
They were not built for
racing speed or durability.
Which is why we modify them.
Behold and be amazed.
Impressive, is it not?
TAY-0 is an artist.
Ciddarin Scaleback.
It's been a long time since I've seen
your shiny claws around Safa Toma.
Millegi. I'm busy.
Get out of my pit.
Not gonna introduce
me to your new crew?
They're not gonna help you win.
Oh, I know I'm gonna win.
You think your droid
can beat my champ?
What's he saying?
You do not want to know.
If you're so confident, how
about our standard side wager?
Let's see who has
the better racer.
Deal.
Just like old times.
The familiarity between you two
suggests this race is personal.
This is business.
And we've got a race to win.
Wh-Wh-What did I miss?
Jet Venim and TAY-0
are in the lead.
Given the unpredictable
nature of this course,
I cannot determine who
the victor will be.
Hmm?
A friendly reminder
to all our spectators,
be mindful of blaster fire.
Safa Toma Speedway is not liable for
any injury, death, or disintegration.
Thank you. And speaking
of injury and death,
the lead racers are
approaching Gambler's Gulch.
Do not take the left tunnel!
TAY-0 knows what he is doing.
What's wrong with
the left tunnel?
It's a death trap.
This whole race is a death trap.
Final lap and Jet Venim
remains in the lead, but...
Uh-oh.
The challenger is
closing in fast!
He's gonna do it!
TAY-0's gonna do it!
Get him in the crunch.
Uh-oh, it's "Steel Claw" time!
I feel a Venim crunch coming on!
Get out of there!
No, no, no, no, no.
Come on, TAY-0!
TAY-0 takes a tumble!
And Jet Venim wins!
This speeder is in bad shape,
but some of it is salvageable.
That's the least of my
problems now, Goggles.
Hey! Found TAY-0!
Or most of him.
Maybe we can put
him back together.
I'm here to collect, Cid.
You'll get your credits. Just give
me some time. I'm good for it.
That's not how this works.
You are out of time.
Wanna step in here? I didn't
bring you two for the company.
Wait! How much does she owe?
More than you got, kid.
Well, we're not done yet.
Looks like you're done to me.
One last race. If you
win, we pay you double.
If we win, we get Cid.
You don't know what
you're getting into, kid.
I'm inclined to agree
with him, Omega.
Yeah, I'm inclined too.
We don't know
anything about racing.
They're gonna hurt
Cid if we do nothing.
Do we have a deal?
We race tomorrow.
And I keep Cid as collateral.
For your sakes, you
better be able to pay up.
This speeder's in worse
shape than I thought.
How's TAY-0?
Partially operational.
With a few more adjustments,
he may be capable of racing.
Uh, that is hilarious.
I am more than capable.
I am ready to...
Where are my arms and legs?
That should be all of it.
No, that's not how
you connect the servo.
Let TAY-0 instruct you on
how to do this properly.
You know, instead of repairing him,
we should be taking out that gangster.
We cannot apply our military
tactics to this situation.
Millegi is dangerous
and connected.
Even if we extract Cid and escape,
they will seek retribution.
Rumor has it, the last sponsor
who failed to pay Millegi is
now taking a permanent pit
stop in the eastern sand dune.
Which is why we have to
win the race and save Cid.
This is not the first time she
has required our assistance
due to her dealings with individuals
of questionable integrity.
It is a problematic pattern.
Uh, hey, yeah. Did you forget
you were working on me?
'Cause it seems like you're just having
a conversation about nonsense over there.
How about a little less
chatter, a little more spanner?
To old times.
Not interested in old
times. I've changed.
Hustlers like us never change.
Sooner or later, those outcasts
you're hanging out with
will get to know the real Cid.
I might surprise you.
I doubt that.
You're racing next, TAY-0.
Think you can win?
I will ignore that
obvious question.
Yes. I can.
Well, you lost last time.
That was a miscalculation.
One I will not make twice.
I'm sorry. Why exactly are you,
uh, studying the track layout?
I am analyzing the course
and patterns of the racers.
It is fascinating.
You are doing it wrong, human.
Calculations won't help you.
It is all about strategy and
skill, of which you have zero.
I believe your
strategy to be flawed.
It would be wise to divert power
to the reflector shields from
your primary weapon system.
An amateur mistake. And precisely why
TAY-0 is your only chance at victory.
Open your eyes, human.
If you want to win out
there, offense is the best...
We have a wipeout
down in the pits!
Whoa!
TAY-0?
Oh, boy.
Uh, I don't think he's
gonna be able to race.
Safa Toma's a dangerous place.
He's fine.
Snap out of it, tin bin!
I regret nothing.
Tough luck. Looks
like a forfeit.
No racer means Cid
loses. And so do you.
We have to do something.
I will be the racer.
What? [laughs] Wha...
He's not joking.
You heard him. The
bet's still on.
I never stop a fool from giving
his life to make me rich.
All right, place your
bets! Our racers are ready.
Safa Toma's Riot
Champion, Jet Venim.
Bosco "The Mad Bomber" Brix.
"Steel Claw" Kane.
"Vicious" Vid Santari.
Haxxon "The War Gnome" Trajanix.
"Quick-draw" Quasar.
"The Trickster" Flash Raktor.
"Hyper" Rod on his
Seven Deuce Blaster.
And finally, Tech.
Tech? Anything else on this guy?
No? Guess he's a late arrival.
Is that his name?
Tech? Just Tech?
Okay, and here we go.
And they're off!
What place is he in?
Last, but he's catching up.
Tech, you gotta be
in front to win!
I know what I am doing.
It's called strategy.
No, it's called losing.
Uh-oh. "Mad Bomber" Brix
is up to his old tricks!
Tech, don't take the left tunnel.
Cid said it's a death trap!
Transmit the schematics of
the left tunnel to my display.
On it.
Right now? Shouldn't you just
focus on not getting blown up?
I can do both.
Your shields are overheating!
Yes. I am allowing for adequate energy to
be distributed from weapons to shields.
Tech, they're all over you.
I need more speed.
Tech's coming in.
Well, what's he doing?
- Your weapons.
- They were slowing me down.
Tech's got a
vaporization wish...
What are they doing?
And has removed all his weapons.
That worked. I now have increased
speed and maneuverability.
Yeah, that's great, but
you're still in last place.
The tunnel's coming up again.
Wait. A large part of
the track is missing.
That's why the racers avoid it.
It is also the shortest tunnel.
I can use it to my advantage.
It's too dangerous. The
speeder can't make that jump!
It will if I'm
going fast enough.
Whoa! Looks like a
couple blaster brains
took the ole "Nellis
Express to Lotho Minor!"
A bold move. Let's
see how this pans out.
It worked. You're closing in.
You're losing shields!
Don't let 'em box you in!
Here they come! It's
going to be close!
And the winner is...
Tech!
- Yeah!
- Yeah, Tech!
Oh, yeah!
Tech, right?
Tech wins!
You did it!
You sound surprised.
Yeah!
I thought you were a goner.
Tech! Tech! Tech! Tech! Tech!
We're here for Cid!
A deal's a deal. We're square.
That was some racing, Goggles.
I, uh... I-I...
Well, I guess I owe you one.
Yes. I would agree.
I'll make it up to ya.
Come on. We're outta here.
Hey, you three.
You could have walked away.
That loyalty is admirable, but with
Cid, it doesn't always go both ways.
Watch your backs.
What...
Now you owe me two
cartons of Mantell Mix.
Not so fast. One more
game. Double or nothing.
Hey! Quit running
up the power bill.
It's time to get to work.
I got another job for you.
Hunter and Echo aren't back
from the other mission yet.
I would not call transporting 50
cases of nerf nuggets a "mission."
Nor is it a proper
use of our skill set.
Yeah, well, your skill set will
come in real useful on this one.
