Star Wars Rebels

Now, everybody, just try to keep an open mind

about this, okay?

Is there something you're not telling us about this job with Hondo?

Come on. When have I asked you to trust me

and it hasn't worked out?

Like half the time.

My friends, my friends!

It is I, Hondo!

I can't tell you how much your welcome

warms this old pirate's heart.

You are too gracious.

I agree.

Especially since the last time we saw you,

you abandoned us on that doomed Imperial station!

But it all worked out in the end, right?

Of course it did, because Hondo always delivers.

Just wait until you see what my new partner and I have cooked up.

Wait. What new partner?

Now, remember, guys? Okay? Open mind.

Have you recruited these two-bit smugglers yet?

We need to get moving!

Azmorigan?

What makes you think we'd even consider working with him?

Yes, I... I know that the two of you have had

your past conflagrations,

but when Hondo profits, so do you.

And believe me, with what we have to offer,

the profit for your rebellion will be great indeed.

I don't care what you have to offer.

I'm not allowing that on my ship.

Oh, I remember now. The feisty one.

She hit me with a tray.

Hera, take it easy. Easy?

This sack of bantha fodder tried to buy me from that sleemo Calrissian

and make me his servant.

I paid a fair price.

Technically, I still own you.

Now, now, don't be blind to this amazing business opportun...

Oh, sorry, sorry.

Actually, I'm interested in what you have to offer.

Oh, wise one.

I knew that you would see things my way.

Ooh, sorry again.

Well, I'm not moving my ship until I know exactly what you're "offering."

Weapons.

I am promising you all the weapons you can carry,

unguarded and simply yours for the taking.

Not good enough.

Even if they are proton bombs?

According to our mutual friend Ezra here,

you've been trying to acquire them for quite some time.

Show us.

The planet Wynkahthu.

as I happened to pass it on my travels,

I detected an Imperial freighter adrift in the upper atmosphere.

Escape pods jettisoned, completely abandoned.

Huh. Must've flown too close.

It's stuck in one of those atmospheric storms.

It's slowly being pulled in.

And its cargo will soon be lost.

I have the manifest right here.

Its hold is loaded with a large supply of proton bombs.

Hmm. So what's in it for you two?

Well, there is also some cargo you would not be interested in.

Uh, you know, there is, um, precious metals,

rare artifacts, riches untold.

That sort of thing.

All probably stolen, huh, Hondo?

From the worlds the Empire took over.

So, we'll split the treasure?

"Split the treasure." Oh, that's a classic.

No, no, no, no, no, no, my big, purple friend.

You get the bombs.

And you get the treasure.

So what do you need us for? Why not use your own crew?

Now trust me, that is a long, boring story.

No, no, no, my friends,

you are the guys for this job.

If the Empire couldn't salvage the ship, what hope do we have?

A-ha! Because we have something in our favor

that the Empire does not,

for we are desperate!

Ugh! For once, he's right.

The Empire would abandon this ship without a second thought.

But we can't afford to pass up an opportunity like this.

Well said.

Then we have a deal?

I think we have a deal. We... We have a deal!

There'll be no way to dock with that ship in the storm.

We'll need another way to off-load the cargo.

AP, you know the specs for this type of freighter? Of course.

I was serving on a class four container transport when Chopper found me.

Just get to work with Zeb on a plan for this salvage operation.

Whoa. Wait. You're putting Zeb in charge?

Sorry, pal. I got this one.

No. I found this job. This should be my mission.

I thought you trusted me.

Oh, I do.

Just not when Hondo's around.

Every time we work with him, we come out on top.

And that's why we're doing this, with Zeb in charge.

Yeah, to keep an eye on me.

I know what you're doing, but Ezra's got to learn for himself

Hondo's not the friend he appears to be.

Engage the stabilizers.

I'll hold her as steady as I can.

Estimating chance of mission success at 38.5%.

38.5%? This is your plan!

I have factored that in. Without me, your chances are almost zero.

All right, salvage team. We're on the clock.

That cargo ship is sitting above the storm's vortex for now,

but it's sinking fast.

Once it's pulled under, it'll be ripped apart.

So make sure you're not on it.

Don't worry. We'll be in and out.

Ezra, you good to go? Yes, sir, Captain Orrelios.

You got a problem with me in charge,

talk to Hera when we get back.

Stop! Wait for me, huh?

Ugh. You have got to be kidding.

Azmorigan, this is dangerous work, my frail friend.

Perhaps you, with your lovely singing voice, should stay here.

You'd like that, wouldn't you?

Me stuck here while you claim the best treasure.

Hey, hey, hey, forget it!

This job is half mine, and I've got the manifest.

I go with you, or we don't go at all. Hear?

Yeah, yeah. I'll keep an eye on him.

You better. Sabine, let's do this.

All right, boys. Good luck! I'll be here waiting for the cargo.

All clear. Come on!

We're going to need to restore power to the cargo hold.

Chopper, get to the bridge and see what you can do.

(CHOPPER GRUNTING)

Are you sure splitting up is a good idea?

It's a good order. Here's another one.

This way. Come on.

What was that?

It's nothing. Some loose cargo.

I saw something move! There!

Wait a second.

Look out! (GRUNTING)

Aah! I am attacked!

What is that?

I got him. I got him. Wah!

Wait a minute. Isn't this one of the guys from your crew?

Hello, Melch.

Well, like I said, it's a long, boring story.

We should get moving.

Hold it. I think we have time to hear this.

Azmorigan came to me with a flight plan he'd acquired,

an... Imperial freighter with a fat cargo and no escort.

So, it sounded like an easy score.

You attacked an Imperial ship?

We do it all the time.

Exact... Really?

Anyway, you should be giving us a medal.

Oh, if you'd only seen it. It was glorious.

Yeah, yeah, okay. Just skip to the part where it all went wrong.

We disabled the ship with ion mines,

but it drifted into this maelstrom.

But of course, my brave little Ugnaughts...

Look at him. He insisted on trying to board it anyway,

but tragically...

Left you to die?

I would never abandon any of my crew.

You are like family!

Short... (SNIFFS)

Fragrant family.

All right,

instead of the 1% you were promised,

I will give you two.

You're welcome.

So you brought us in only after you'd lost your entire crew

trying it yourself.

You lied to us. What a surprise.

Well, he didn't exactly lie.

He just didn't tell us the whole truth.

Well said!

And some of the truth is better than none of the truth,

which is what you used to get.

So, don't try and tell me that I have not grown.

Oh, I don't have any time for this.

Cargo hold, now!

I can pull your limbs off later.

He's always kidding. (LAUGHING)

He's kidding, right?

(ON COMLINK) The winds are picking up down here.

The longer this takes, the worse it's gonna get.

Thank you, Sabine. Your concern is noted.

Zeb, status update.

We're at the hangar door now.

And it's not gonna budge.

Chopper, we need power on the cargo deck.

I got this.

No. Wait!

(CHOPPER GRUNTING)

Hey!

Azmorigan, my friend.
