Star Wars Rebels

Look at all those ships.

Ryder said it was bad, but this is worse than bad.

Lothal is my home, Kanan.

I can't stand seeing it like this.

So let's do something about it.

If only Ryder would hurry up and get here.

There he is. And he's been spotted.

Hurry. Get on!

Look out! Blockade!

Oh!

Sure is good to have you back on Lothal.

I think you're the only one who feels that way, Ryder.

Uh, Ryder? What's the plan?

We can't outrun these guys.

Don't need to outrun 'em. Just have to get 'em up to 190.

Does this thing go up to 190?

Sometimes. Think fast thoughts.

I'm thinking fast thoughts. Nothing's happening.

Keep watching.

Those bikes are from the Imperial factory.

I have people on the inside who build them to break.

You've infiltrated the assembly line? I'm impressed.

That's the perfect cover to do some serious damage.

I wish I could take credit.

Idea came from an old friend of yours.

Mr. Sumar.

Is that Ezra Bridger?

I hardly recognize you. You're so tall.

Oh, and you cut your hair.

It's good to see you too.

You know, it's thanks to you

I got a chance to make a difference against the Empire.

Your parents would be so proud to see you now.

And they'd agree there's much more we can do.

Tell them about your plan.

Phoenix Squadron is enlisting help from another rebel cell

to take out the Imperial factory here on Lothal.

An attack?

Finally. At last.

When will this strike happen?

Soon, hopefully. It depends on what we learn while we're here.

Our contact, Fulcrum, said the Empire's building a new type of weapon.

If we knew what it was, the other cells might agree to attack sooner than later.

They did just tighten security around section A-2,

transferred their best workers over there.

That must be why they had to recruit us to their labor force.

Can you get us into that factory?

Well, I don't know.

Do you have any manufacturing experience?

Uh, not really.

Then you'll fit right in.

Agent Kallus, make sure the workers are all present and accounted for.

Yes, Governor Pryce.

Kallus has a new boss.

Must be the one Sabine told us about.

Look sharp. This factory is being honored

by a surprise visit from Imperial High Command.

Thank you for the introduction, Agent Kallus.

My visit is not an honor,

however, but an investigation.

Thrawn.

Vehicles assembled in this factory

malfunction at a rate far higher than that of others.

I believe poor craftsmanship is to blame,

and it has cost your Empire troops and missions.

This will not be tolerated.

Worker 5473.

You were pressed into the Empire's service?

Yes, sir. After losing my farm.

Do you stand by your work?

I do.

This 624-AVA

is the last bike you personally inspected and assembled.

Please, demonstrate for me how quickly it can achieve full speed.

We don't have all day.

Back in line.

Something's wrong. It's overheating.

Gonna have to shut it down.

No. The demonstration is not yet over.

I can't stop it!

No!

Now that I have your attention, know this.

Whatever you build here you will test personally.

I expect your malfunction rate to drop substantially.

See to it that no one leaves or enters the facility.

I wish to inspect the line for sabotage.

Hold them here. The factory is on full lockdown.

Ryder. Get word to Hera.

We're trapped inside and need help.

They've already jammed the comms.

Workers, form two lines.

Prepare for verification and questioning.

Present your identification card for examination.

Better get lost before they take a closer look at our IDs.

Psst. Chopper. Get their attention.

Look out!

Droid! What is the matter with you?

Report to maintenance.

Now's our chance to find out what the Empire's up to.

From what Sumar said, section A-2 is a good place to start.

Not dressed like this. The workers are on lockdown, remember?

Hey. You two weren't dismissed.

Grand Admiral,

you don't think the rebels have infiltrated section A-2 as well, do you?

The secrecy of that project is...

Is imperative.

Which is why I've ordered anyone attempting to enter the area

without my personal code

to be terminated on sight.

You should not have compromised security here by hiring locals.

This factory has quotas to meet.

I can question the workers,

but I won't know if they're lying

without more information about this new project.

All you need to know

is that the Admiral has a new fighter initiative here.

A new fighter?

Difficult to see how one small ship will change much.

Agent, victory and defeat are often determined by the smallest detail.

For example, take this walker.

Is this your work?

Yes, sir. I oversaw its construction.

Have the walker step forward.

Watch it. Get out of the way.

Get out of the way! Oh!

No, no. It wasn't that one. It was the one next to it!

The factory's on full lockdown.

Communication is jammed.

I can't reach Ezra and Kanan.

The new Imperial in charge is pretty thorough.

Didn't catch his name, but I hear he has red eyes.

Grand Admiral Thrawn.

My team will attack the Imperial compound's east gate.

It's the weakest point, so this Thrawn might expect it.

But at least it'll keep his eyes off the factory for a bit.

Halt. I need your clearance code.

Code checks out. Proceed.

Hey, if we can get Chopper one of those tapes, we can get him inside.

Then all he has to do is find the design database and download everything.

Now we just need one of those droids.

Hey, droid. This is a restricted area.

I need to see your clearance code.

I got it.

Here you go.

Make it fast, Chop.

Clearance code.

Sir?

Lieutenant, what can you tell me about this?

Uh... It looks like a section of the retainAh. Agent Kallus?
