Star Wars: The Clone Wars (2008–2019): Season 4, Episode 18 - Crisis on Naboo - full transcript
Cad Bane leads the bounty hunters (including a disguised Obi-Wan Kenobi) in their plot to kidnap the Supreme Chancellor during the Festival of Lights on Naboo.
NARRATOR: Supreme Chancellor in peril!
After surviving the ordeals of "The Box,"
Obi-Wan Kenobi, working undercover
as assassin Rako Hardeen,
is invited to join Count Dooku's plot
against Chancellor Palpatine.
Working with a team
of deadly bounty hunters,
Obi-Wan travels to the planet of Naboo
where the Chancellor
will preside over the Festival of Light.
Now, as the Jedi Council and Count Dooku
finalize their respective plans,
a deadly confrontation seems inevitable.
As you can see,
we've mapped the Chancellor's route
to and from the festival stage.
We know where he'll be at every moment
from the time we land on Naboo.
What security measures are in place?
The Naboo Royal Guard
will have armed sentries
at all entry points on the palace.
And the stage itself
will be sealed off by a ray shield
for the duration of the event.
I see nothing here to worry about.
With complacency comes vulnerability.
Yes.
It is what we do not see that concerns me.
A long time to plan his attack,
Count Dooku has.
Yes.
We thought we'd have an advantage
with Obi-Wan on the inside,
but we've had no communication from him
in days.
Obi-Wan will do his part.
Let's make sure we do ours.
-(STRANGLED CRY)
-Whoa!
(CRYING OUT IN SHOCK)
(SPEAKING ALIEN LANGUAGE)
(GRUNTING)
Shh!
(GRUNTING)
-(SPEAKS ALIEN LANGUAGE)
-(GASPS)
-(SHOUTING THREATENINGLY)
-(YELPS)
(SPEAKS ALIEN LANGUAGE)
(PANTING)
Well, hello there.
(GRUNTING)
All clear!
This is it, my friends.
The day of reckoning for the Republic.
I have it from a very reliable source
that everything will happen
exactly as we planned.
Execute your roles
as you've been instructed,
and you will all be immortalized in history.
Not to mention,
rewarded with enough credits
that you will never have to work again.
I will let Cad Bane take it from here.
Listen up, I'm only saying it once.
Each device tells you your position
and essential details
about your part of the plot.
Aren't you gonna tell us
how all the pieces fit together?
Derrown here is going to breach the shield.
Moralo Eval is the getaway driver.
Two of you will act as guards
protecting the Chancellor.
And you, Hardeen,
are a sniper.
That's all you need to know.
Once we have the Chancellor,
the devices will lead you
to the rendezvous point.
Any questions?
Now for our disguises. Everyone step back.
This will get us into the inner circle.
Step into the shadow hologram
and you will receive your new identity.
When you leave here, you will have
no communication
with the rest of the team.
All right, then, get to your positions.
Well handled.
I should have put you in charge long ago.
A word of advice, though,
keep an eye on Hardeen.
There's something about him I do not trust.
Don't worry.
I'm keeping my eye on all of them.
Greetings, Your Majesty.
Welcome home, Chancellor.
I'm thankful to the Jedi
for bringing you here safely.
Yes, Senator, it is good to be back,
although I think the amount of security
that has accompanied me is overkill.
With all due respect, Chancellor,
where your safety is concerned
there is no such thing as overkill.
So you keep insisting, Master Jedi.
But I've grown tired of discussing it.
Anakin, Ahsoka, welcome to the festival.
I've never seen the Festival of Light.
Sounds like a big event.
They're expecting a large crowd,
which means it will be difficult for Dooku
to attack during the ceremony.
That leaves the palace
as the best opportunity for an ambush.
Are you that certain an attack is imminent?
I'm afraid so,
which is why I'm making Ahsoka
your personal bodyguard.
At your service, My Lady.
If there's trouble,
Ahsoka will get you, the Queen,
and the rest of your staff to safety.
What about you?
Hopefully, I'll be where I always am.
-He means saving the day.
-Of course he does.
(BEEPING)
-Make sure you have two guards posted.
-(COMLINK BEEPING)
Excuse me.
-Obi-Wan, thank goodness you're alive.
-Yes, I've seen better days.
I'm here, in Theed.
-MACE: So Dooku's plan is still on?
-Yes.
How are they planning
to attack the Chancellor?
Three of the bounty hunters
are disguised as senate guards.
Eval is the getaway driver
and they have a Parwan
that can pass through the ray shield.
I have a sniper rifle.
Don't worry. It's loaded with stun blasts.
I'm supposed to immobilize the Chancellor,
not kill him.
Where are you?
In a tower overlooking the plaza.
So the attack
is going to take place outside.
Yes. From here,
I can be your eye in the sky.
I'll be able to tell you
everything that's going on.
They will try to infiltrate the security area.
Make sure you have someone
double check the guards' identities.
That's going to take time.
You'll have to do your best, my friend.
The stage is set.
Activate the ray shield.
Copy that, General Skywalker.
(ECHOING) It is an honor to be here
for this momentous occasion.
The pride I feel for this planet
cannot be put into words.
847 years ago, Naboo joined the Republic,
and tonight we celebrate that union!
DERROWN: What's
your identification number?
SG-1984.
DERROWN: All right, move along,
but stay sharp.
PALPATINE: Take a moment
and look around this glorious city of yours.
It wasn't long ago
this was all plasma mines.
Naboo has indeed come a long way.
But as we chart
a bold course for the future,
let us never forget our past!
(FIREWORKS EXPLODING)
(TRIUMPHANT MUSIC PLAYING)
Mace, so far so good.
Gotcha!
East side! The security guard on the stairs.
Skywalker! The shield generator!
(EXPLOSIONS)
(PEOPLE CLAMORING)
All right, you two,
take the Chancellor to that speeder
and get him out of here.
AHSOKA: This way, Your Majesty. Hurry!
-(GRUNTING)
-(EXCLAIMS IN SHOCK)
-(EXCLAIMS)
-(CLICKING)
Blast! It's only good for one shot.
(SCREAMING)
Mace, Anakin's down
and I don't see Bane anywhere.
I'll find him.
TWAZZI: Let's make the switch.
(EMBO SPEAKING ALIEN LANGUAGE)
(LAUGHING)
You're coming with me, Chancellor.
(GROANING) Those tentacles
pack quite a punch.
Come on.
The Chancellor! The guard escorting them
is a bounty hunter!
(SPEAKING ALIEN LANGUAGE)
Chancellor, are you all right?
(BOTH GRUNTING)
Where is the Chancellor?
Move it, move it!
So long, Jedi!
I'm going after the Chancellor.
Copy that, Obi-Wan.
I'll send you the coordinates
and hold Bane there as long as I can.
This is the rendezvous point.
Dooku said he would meet us here.
(SNIGGERS) What did I tell you, Bane?
My plan worked to perfection.
It wasn't your plan.
It was my execution of your plan.
Come on, get up.
How dare you disrespect Moralo Eval!
Pipe down. Where's Dooku?
-I thought you said he'd meet us here?
-(VEHICLE APPROACHING)
That was the plan.
Hardeen, you're not supposed
to be here yet.
I don't want to be double-crossed
and left behind again.
I think we've all been double-crossed.
Dooku's a no-show.
What do you mean?
What do we do with the Chancellor now?
We'll ransom him ourselves.
If Dooku won't pay us, somebody else will.
I'm afraid the Chancellor's coming with me.
(BOTH GRUNTING)
(GRUNTING)
(MOANING)
Please! Do not kill Moralo Eval!
Take him and Bane into custody.
And make sure the Chancellor
is returned safely to the palace.
You did a good job, Obi-Wan.
Kenobi! I should have known.
Something smelled wrong about you
from the start.
Yes, well, spending so much time with you
was no reward either.
Reward! I'll give you a reward,
when I plug you full of laser bolts!
Such a pleasant fellow.
I hope this was all worth it.
We saved the Chancellor.
That's the important thing.
Once again, you have all distinguished
yourselves in the eyes of the Republic.
The people of Naboo are in your debt.
It's all part of the job, My Lady.
I'm not sure I agree with your orders
to send the rest of the security detail
back to Coruscant.
Now that the threat has passed,
I think Anakin is all the security I need.
-You look terrible.
-(SIGHS)
Being a criminal's not easy work.
If I'd known what was going on,
I could've helped you.
Too bad the Council didn't trust me.
Anakin, it was my decision
to keep the truth from you.
I knew if you were convinced I was dead,
Dooku would believe it as well.
Your decision?
Look, I know
I did some questionable things,
but I did what I had to do.
I hope you can understand that.
You lied to me!
How many other lies
have I been told by the Council?
And how do you know
that you even have the whole truth?
We should get you
into the transformation chamber.
Everyone's a little tired
of looking at that ugly face of yours.
This is the face that saved the Republic.
But I think you're right.
It's time to go back
to being Obi-Wan Kenobi.
I can sense something is still bothering you.
Yes, something Anakin said
has me worried.
Do we know the whole truth?
I think I'll stay.
I need to check one last thing.
-Dooku was listening! He knew all along.
-(BEEPING)
We will leave as soon
as Queen Neeyutnee's banquet is over.
I also want to say goodbye
to Senator Amidala.
She has been a very gracious host.
Hmm. Padmé didn't mention
a banquet to me.
Perhaps she meant it as a surprise.
(CHUCKLES) I must say, the lengths the Jedi
will go to is nothing short of incredible.
I assume the brilliant plan
to disguise Obi-Wan Kenobi was yours.
No, it wasn't, sir.
I was in the dark as much as you were.
Really? Interesting.
I was under the impression
the Jedi always worked as a team.
Welcome!
My gracious, it's a trap!
Chancellor, stay back!
(ELECTRICITY SURGING)
You should've quit
while you were still alive, Dooku!
Fighting off the entire Jedi security force
would have been difficult.
But now that they are gone,
defeating you alone will be an easy task.
Chancellor, get out of here!
Good idea.
Unhand me!
(STRAINING)
(GRUNTING)
Are you all right?
Come on!
Well done, Master Kenobi.
You are a worthy adversary.
I cannot say the same
about your young apprentice.
Chancellor, are you all right?
Yes, thanks again to the heroics of the Jedi.
That's the second time today.
We specialize in heroics, Chancellor.
As long as I live, no harm
will ever come to you, Your Excellency.
Hmm. Well, here's to your long
and prosperous life, Anakin.
One shudders to think
where the galaxy would be
without the Jedi.
