Mm-hmm.

Yeah, we got a problem here.

Vak Lako is back. Just saw him ride in.

He's a free man. Done his time.

Yeah. Well, he's here at the port with Tay Grutty.

Wait, you don't think that's strange?

Two of Bane's old crew here at the same time

like they were waiting for someone?

Bane's locked up on Torano. He won't be out for another five years.

Well, just figured you should know, is all.

Thanks for the tip, Gibbs.

Well, I hate to be the bearer of bad news but Bane is out.

Released early on a technicality.

Not the first time this kind of thing's happened.

The legal system is what it is but none of that means he's coming here.

You sure about that?

'Cause there's a shuttle from Torano due at noon.

If I were Bane, I know where I'd be headed.

There's no sense in overreacting until we know for sure.

He was your best friend.

Everyone remembers what happened that day when you put him away.

There's no question.

Bane is coming here to settle things once and for all.

The mayor and town council would like to speak with you, Marshal.

Let them know I'll be right there.

From the looks of it, Bane will be on that next shuttle.

I don't see why else those two would be here.

He shows up, we'll be ready.

I don't know, Marshal. Maybe you best lay low.

Take a leave for a bit.

We're finally making a difference in this community.

I'm not gonna let it slide back into lawlessness.

Would you stop worrying about the community

and think about yourself for once?

This is personal.

Bane ain't ever gonna forgive you after what happened with Arin.

He doesn't know the whole story.

For now, I intend to keep it that way.

Isaac.

Is a bad man coming, Papa?

Not on my watch.

You know, I've never killed anyone.

Let's hope you don't have to.

I'm going to speak with the council.

Look after Isaac.

There are rumors, Marshal.

Bane? Yeah, afraid so.

We think he'll arrive on the noon shuttle.

What do you plan to do about it?

I don't plan to do anything.

It might not come to a fight.

No one would blame you, Marshal.

Excuse me?

If you'd send in the droids to settle things quickly.

I don't take your meaning.

We know he was your friend, Marshal,

but you can't let things escalate.

First these two thugs show up. Now Bane?

You gotta cut him down before--

No one needs to die.

You're right, he was my friend but that was a long time ago.

Things have changed.

We both have.

Niro, maybe you should leave.

Get out of town for your own safety.

I'll handle it.

You're not welcome here, Marshal.

Seeing how you treat your friends.

What's that supposed to mean?

How's Arin doing?

I got a feeling you already know the answer to that.

I do.

Ooh, and when Bane finds out about the two of you...
