Star Wars: The Clone Wars (2008–2019): Season 4, Episode 16 - Friends and Enemies - full transcript

Disguised as Bounty Hunter Ranko Hardeen, Obi-Wan Kenobi is on the run with criminal mastermind Moralo Eval and Cad Bane. But their partnership is on thin ice and Anakin & Ahsoka are in hot pursuit.

ANNOUNCER: Fugitives on the run!

Disguised as Jedi killer, Rako Hardeen,

Obi-Wan Kenobi works undercover

to solve a Separatist plot
against Chancellor Palpatine.

Obi-Wan meets the plot's mastermind,
Moralo Eval,

breaking him out of jail to gain his trust.

But now, Kenobi faces another obstacle,

bounty hunter, Cad Bane.

Can Obi-Wan Kenobi
overcome Bane's suspicions?

Or will the ruthless criminal
see through his disguise

and expose the Jedi?



Only time will tell.

(ALARM RINGING)

We're coming in too fast, Hardeen.

Are you trying to kill us?

They'll be waiting for us
at every space port.

We have to ditch the ship.

You mean you're going
to intentionally crash us into the swamp?

Yeah, that is exactly what I'm gonna do.

He's right. We have no choice.

Get ready for a fast exit.

(ANIMAL SCREECHING)

(ELECTRICITY CRACKLING)

Nobody can trace us here.
The swamp will swallow up the ship.

So we leave no trace of our crash.



Moralo Eval likes a man who plans ahead.

You do have a plan?

Yeah, I know Nal Hutta.

We can get a new ship
at the Bilbousa Bazaar,

but this time, we buy one.

Otherwise, we'll have the authorities
back on our tail.

Not so fast.

We need to ditch these prison fatigues.

We'll have a bounty on our heads
for escaping

and I don't like to stand out.

(PEOPLE MUTTERING)

EVAL: That's local security.

Keep moving.

We'll get some new gear and equipment.

Pablo's pawn shop

has everything a bounty hunter needs
and more.

(BEEPING)

Now all I need's a new hat.

For trying to blend in,

your hat sure makes you stand out.

I don't like to hide under a helmet.

Is there anything else you desire?
A new ship?

Your choice of weapons is lousy, Pablo.

Where can I get some quality blasters?

I wouldn't be too picky being on the run,
like you obviously are.

(GAGGING)

I'd keep my mouth shut if I were you, Pablo.

-We'll get our weapons elsewhere.
-(GIRL PLEADING IN NATIVE LANGUAGE)

(SPUTTERING)

Thanks for the hat.

For your trouble.

(EXCLAIMING IN NATIVE LANGUAGE)

That trader's heard worse threats
than yours, Bane.

Probably calling the Hutts right now,

seeing what kind of bounty there is on us.

Relax.

On this slime-pool, everybody's an outlaw.

Besides, they'll be looking for three of us.

So we're splitting up.

You find a ship, we'll get weapons.

Not so fast.

If it's all the same to you,
I'll get the weapons.

It's not the same to me.

You crashed the ship,
you get us a new one.

It does seem fair.

Soon as we have a ship, we ditch Hardeen.

Really?

We'll throw him to the Hutts.

While they interrogate him,
we'll be long gone.

Tell me, is this business or personal?

Both.

No, no, no. That's my final offer.

(SPEAKING IN NATIVE LANGUAGE)

(BEEPING)

(SPEAKING IN NATIVE LANGUAGE)

All right then, it's a deal.

Good timing.

Soon as you pay for the ship,
we can get moving.

With pleasure.

Hey, where's my weapon?

Won't need it. You're not coming.

Says who?

He doesn't want to split his fee
for breaking me out of prison.

And also, he despises you.

All I know is I'm not going anywhere
without my reward.

I'm sorry. This is between you two.

What's it gonna be, Bane?

(GIRL SHOUTING IN NATIVE LANGUAGE)

Here's your reward,

-I'm not killing you.
-(GROANS)

(PANTING)

Where am I?

You're a guest of the Hutts.

If you do not answer my questions
about your two partners,

we will not be so hospitable.

(GROANS)

You call this hospitable?

Wait. Torture won't be necessary.

My partners double-crossed me,

but I put a tracking device on their ship.

Let me down and I'll tell you the frequency.

Now tell us the tracking frequency.

(BEEPING)

Yes, Count Dooku. I'm sorry I was delayed.

I'm free now.

I'll try to reach Serenno
as soon as possible.

No more excuses, Eval.

Time is running short.

Yes, Count Dooku, no more excuses.

You said it yourself, Eval.

You're free now. I want my money.

After the weapons and the ship,
I have very few credits left.

You'll be paid when we reach Serenno.

(RUMBLING)

What is this? Who is attacking us?

The Hutts!

How did they find us so quickly?

Hardeen, trying to even the score.

The engines are fried,
we'll have to turn back.

Their ship will crash soon on Nal Hutta.

Be there to capture the fugitives.

You found the ship like I said.

Our deal was you'd let me go now.

The deal has changed.

(LAUGHING MENACINGLY)

(GROWLING)

This is Ben.

I apologize
for being out of communication,

but the situation was rather tenuous.

Although, it now appears
things may be on track soon.

Here's what I need,

have the bounty on us removed.

If I can win over Cad Bane,

I can learn more about Eval's plot.

But there can be no more complications.

So no matter what reports you hear,

do not contact me or send help.

And one more thing,

I shall need enough credits
to buy a new ship.

Why are you removing the bounty
on the three fugitives?

If they're free to move,
they could lead us back to Eval's operation.

Very well. Keep me apprised.

You look troubled, Anakin.

How can they expect me to just sit here
and do nothing

with Obi-Wan's murderer on the loose?

It is possible that they do not trust you
to control your feelings.

Hardeen killed my master, my best friend!

And now he's escaping with Cad Bane
and Moralo Eval,

and the Jedi Council won't do anything
about it!

I have it from a reliable source
that the fugitives were last headed

towards Nal Hutta.

You cannot deny your feelings, Anakin.

They are what make you special.

If you believe you can stop this plot
against me,

I trust you.

Thank you, Chancellor.
You won't regret this.

No. I won't.

Oh, back so soon?

Let me guess? You missed me?

Watch it!

Kill me and you won't get off Nal Hutta.

Moralo Eval is running out of time
and patience.

Let the man talk.

(GAGGING)

Look, I've got a ship.

You've got the Hutts on your tail,
so you make me a partner in everything.

(SIGHS)

Your deal is accepted.

No.

First I wanna know
where you got the credits to buy a ship?

You thought you left me for dead,

but the Hutts owed me a favor.

So you had them shoot us down?

You would've done the same thing, Bane.

The way I see it, we're even now.

Now that we're all friends,

get me off this festering stink-hole.

Wait, who's going to pay for this mess?

So about your fee from Eval,
a 50/50 split sounds fair to me.

Over my dead corpse.

Don't tempt me.

What makes you think Obi-Wan's murderer
is on Nal Hutta?

I got a tip from the Chancellor himself.

How are we gonna find them?

Ahsoka, you should know by now.

If you want to find a lowlife...

You start at the saloon.

Hey, ladies, where are we going next?

I love you guys.

(PEOPLE CHEERING)

The fugitives are already gone.

All three of them were here?

Two came in, met the third.

When did they leave?

Nothing's free on Nal Hutta,
especially information.

I don't have time for games.

(GAGGING) You just missed them.

Keep talking.

I heard one of them say
they just bought a ship.

Let's go, Snips.

(SPUTTERING)

Captain Rex, I need to speak
with General Skywalker.

He's not responding to my calls.

Sir, General Skywalker is unavailable.

Where is he, Captain?

I can't say, sir.

You can't or you won't?

Anakin is on Nal Hutta.

Nal Hutta?

Protecting me
is only postponing the problem,

not solving it.

With all due respect, Chancellor,
the Council has a plan in place.

Yes, and so does Moralo Eval,

who appears to be several steps ahead
of you.

For that reason,
I asked Anakin to take action.

He is confident he can find the fugitives
and stop this plot against me.

I suggest you have more faith
in young Skywalker.

Captain, if you must escort me home,
I'm leaving now.

Yes, sir.

This is exactly what Obi-Wan
didn't want to happen.

If I warn him, it could blow his cover,
get him killed.

Kill Hardeen, Skywalker might.

Or die trying, he may.

Warn them both, you must.

Overdue, the truth is.

(SPEAKING IN NATIVE LANGUAGE)

How do you know
they couldn't have gotten very far?

(REPLIES IN NATIVE LANGUAGE)

So you only gave them enough fuel

to reach the nearest filling station
on Orondia,

which is owned by your brother?

Well, that's a nice little
money-making scam.

(CHUCKLING)

We better get going.

Orondia's pretty deserted.

They may steal a ship there,

to throw us off their trail.

I like your thinking.

Here, take it. I just want to get out of here.

We're being swindled.

Who sells a ship with only enough fuel
to get to this lousy rock?

The way I see it,
you keep paying off everybody but me.

Yeah, why is that?

Look! It's Cad Bane.

Are you sure?

Ugh, who else wears a hat like that?

Good point.

Now what?

Jedi!

Take over! I'll bring them down!

(GROANS)

I'll take care of him.

No! It's my turn to kill a Jedi!

(GASPS)

(EXCLAIMING)

(GROANS)

(ALARM RINGING)

Anakin.

You're going to pay for what you did.

You shouldn't have gotten involved.

This is for Obi-Wan.

You can thank me later, Hardeen.

You had your chance to kill him.

Now it's my turn.

(WHISPERING) Anakin, don't follow me.

(YELLING)

The ship is still operational.

I got it working. Now let's get out of here.

You're lucky we're in a hurry, little lady.

We'll have to dance another time.

Master!

Master, are you all right?

(GROANS)

(COUGHING)

What is it? What's wrong?

That's why I felt a connection.

Obi-Wan is still alive.

-I don't understand.
-I don't, either.

But we're gonna get
to the bottom of this. Believe me.
