Taryn. I know you're close to unlocking the secrets of Quarran 3.
That's right, Zhanna. You taught me well.
There may still be a place for you in the Empire.
A Seer is always...
useful.
My visions are my own now.
- Are your troops ready ? - Yes, my lady.
The garrison on Corellia is on standby and awaits your order.
Very well.
The artifact is the priority.
And Taryn Anwar ?
- I leave that to you. - I understand.
The ambition of the Emperor's Hand clouds her purpose.
She may yet be of some use to me.
My lord.
Alert our contacts near the Corellian system.
They are to observe only. No action is to be taken.
- Is that clear ? - As you wish, my lord.
Private business. Open the lift.
Beautiful ! How 'bout joining us ?
Sorry, I'm not very good company tonight.
Whatever the lady says.
Struck out again, Commander ?
Maybe I did and maybe I didn't.
Get lost.
She said take a hike.
I have what you want.
I believe you're right.
Was that really necessary ?
Here's our girl. Told you she'd be prompt.
- You picked up a partner ? - You could say that.
Taryn, this is Cade. A friend.
Do you have it ?
Yes, and... no.
Yes, we have it, and no, it's not his to give.
- It's mine. - You lied to me.
Declan here tells me you're a Seer.
I need you to unlock the artifact.
I wouldn't take much stock in what he says.
And I don't work with others. Not anymore.
You'll work with me 'cause it was your sister's dying wish.
You know, I knew Raux very well.
You're nothing like her.
You know where to find me.
Who is he and how does he know Raux ?
You'll have to ask him and you'll have plenty of time on the way to Quarran 3.
I won't work with him.
I don't trust him.
Right. We'll take it from here. Let's go.
It's clear the feeling is mutual.
Taryn Anwar.
You are hereby under arrest for treasonous acts against the Empire.
Now, Sergeant, I'm sure you can understand why I can't accompany you.
- I can shoot you here. - But you won't.
Stand down, Commander. This is Imperial business.
CorSec is still the reigning authority here.
I have reinforcements on the way.
I say again, Commander. Stand down.
- Is there a back door to this place ? - Unfortunately, no.
Declan ?
Run !
All fighters, man to deploy.
You could time that better. I signaled you a while ago.
Switch over.
She's all yours.
And you're lucky I got here at all.
Your friend here kicked up quite a bit of Imperial interest.
There's patrols everywhere.
- What about my ship ? - Consider it impounded.
- Two destroyers coming in fast. - I see 'em.
Switching auxiliary power to forward shields.
- We're in tractor range. - Not for long.
Disable ship in sector 73. Do not destroy.
- We have fighters approaching. - Take the aft guns.
All TIES, disable fugitive freighter.
Roger. I have them.
Well, this has gone on long enough. Let's see how well they fly.
I've already taken the shipyard tour.
That should push the bounty up on me.
And we're clear.
I want some answers. Who are you and where is that artifact ?
You know, I really don't care what you want.
Have I ever doubted you ? When you came to me when you found out who Zhanna was ?
Did I hesitate, for even a moment ?
And you.
How many times have I risked my life and my ship for one of Raux's visions ?
Now it's a long two day trip to Quarran 3.
You two are supposed to be Jedi.
Try acting like it.
So.
How'd you meet my sister ?
How did you end up working for the Emperor's Hand ?
Zhanna was a Jedi.
How was I supposed to know she was a traitor to the Order ?
You know, I always thought a Seer would be more perceptive.
Raux didn't see it. And Zhanna trained her in secret.
You know what, you're lying. Raux is a Jedi.
Not in the eyes of the Order.
My sister left the Temple at 13.
The Council felt her visions made her unstable,
unsuitable for further training.
So you took her to Zhanna ?
She offered. She was a friend, I trusted her.
Look. I thought I was helping to restore the Jedi Order.
But she lied to me.
She used me.
No one hates Zhanna more than I do.
And I don't need a total stranger passing judgment on me.
I know what I've done.
That seemed to go well.
I thought I told you to ease up on her.
Listen. When Raux...
When Raux died. I've been trying to understand why.
Why'd she send me to the one woman who was working for the Emperor's Hand ?
And then I find that Zhanna trained Raux.
What does it mean ?
Now with her gone,
what am I supposed to believe in now ?
Tell me this :
Do you still believe in Raux's visions ?
Without fail.
Well then, maybe...
she saw a bigger picture.
What is thy bidding, my master ?
I sense much anger in you, Lord Vader.
Directed at the Emperor's Hand.
She has an agenda, my master.
I am unclear if it is in your best interest.
That is why I have you.
Yes, my master.
Lord Vader.
Too many Jedi have been eluding you lately.
Make sure that your efforts in the Outer Rim are more productive.
As you wish.
I come with a message from the Emperor.
Senators. Honored delegates.
You have the distinct honor of assisting me in bringing peace
and order to our troubled galaxy.
I have given system and sector control to the Moffs.
Commerce and travel will now be regulated by the Empire
for the safety and benefit of its loyal citizens.
In your eagerness to comply,
I have complete faith that order will reign on your home worlds.
Immediately.
This is preposterous ! By what right...
By the right of the Emperor's wishes.
The Emperor thanks you for your continued loyalty to the Empire.
Escort our guests to their home worlds
and see to it that the transfer of power is complete.
Yes, what is it ?
My lady, Taryn Anwar has escaped.
We discovered her contact, a smuggler named Declan.
She's on board his ship and we believe...
Does she have the artifact ?
We believe so.
Our troops have encountered unexpected resistance from the local militia.
But we'd been able to determine that the ship set course for the Quarran system.
Ready my ship. Alert my crew.
My lady ?
I will retrieve this piece in person.
And I will have the pleasure of dealing with Taryn Anwar myself.
I think you should see this.
I'm sorry we left without you but Declan, it's here. I can feel it.
It's not clear yet but it will be once I'm on Keishing.
No matter what, you and Cade need to get the holocron to Taryn.
She's the next step.
You and Cade won't like it
but I'm willing to do whatever it takes to ensure the Jedi survive.
Taryn will...
She'll understand.
This is my choice.
This is the only option.
The pickup coordinates are in the nav computer.
Cade will need a lift.
And Declan,
don't be late.
- Raux, what have you done ? - Obviously what she felt was right.
How long have you been standing there ?
But you know that's typical of Raux.
Always giving orders. No explanations.
Like working for Zhanna.
I really don't see how you can compare the two.
Zhanna would say :
"Investigate all reports in the system. Bring who and what you can."
What, you never figured it out ?
I'm going to say this again.
I trusted Zhanna.
She was the only one that believed in my visions of the Temple's destruction.
Not the Council. Not anyone else.
So when the Temple was destroyed
Zhanna seemed like the only hope. She had a plan.
And when the Emperor declared all Jedi traitors to the Empire,
as we were being hunted down one by one,
she asked me to help her rebuild the Jedi Order in secret.
I wanted to find Jedi for her.
I wanted the Order back.
