Star Wars Rebels

In zero-ten, I will discuss the dramatic events

transpiring in your Imperial Sen...

Hope we're not going to be hiding in this can forever.

There's only so much HoloNet I can take.

Well, I'd say they're late,

but we don't even know when they're supposed to show up,

or who we're meeting.

Whoever they are, Senator Organa wants them

to get where they're going,

and he's trusting us to get them fuel.

If he trusts us, why is he keeping us in the dark?

You know as much as I do.

No wonder Kanan volunteered for that supply run.

Heh. Imperial Senator Mon Mothma

of Chandrila has shocked the Senate

with her treasonous remarks against Emperor Palpatine.

I name the Emperor himself

for ordering the brutal attacks

on the people of Ghorman.

Their peaceful world is one of countless systems

helpless against his oppressive rule.

This massacre is proof

that our self-appointed Emperor

is little more than a lying executioner,

imposing his tyranny under the pretense of security.

We cannot allow this evil to stand.

Wow! Did she really say that about the Emperor?

I'm surprised she's still breathing.

Lady's got guts.

Maybe that's our contact.

I don't think so. Chopper, scan.

A probe? What's it doing way out here?

Speaks Imperial. That's bad.

Let's blast it before it spots us.

Ezra, get in the nose gun, but hold your fire.

We don't want to attract attention if we can avoid it.

I'll power down so it can't scan us.

That includes you, Chopper.

Shush it.

Nobody make a move.

I don't think it saw us.

I'll be convinced when it leaves.

That doesn't look like leaving.

It's headed right for us.

Must be scanning for life signs.

Well, that's just great.

We can't shoot it with the power down.

Ezra, be ready.

Just say when.

Move a bit closer.

Just a little bit closer.

Now!

Come on, kid, hit it before it transmits our location.

Thing's quick.

I can't get a clean shot.

(RESPONSE OVER COMLINK IN IMPERIAL)

Whoa, who's that?

Never mind. Stay on target.

Phoenix Leader, this is Gold Squadron.

We catch you at a bad time?

Sorry about that, Gold Squadron.

Close call with an Imperial probe.

Were you detected?

Chances are high, it called for reinforcements.

Begin fueling immediately.

We need to get out of here before the Empire arrives.

Captain Syndulla, I presume.

I'm Erskin Semaj, Senatorial attache.

And this is Captain Vander, he leads Gold Squadron.

This is Ezra and Zeb and Chopper.

So, what're ya transportin'?

Please understand, due to security concerns,

your crew will not be allowed to board our vessel.

Well, you're all welcome aboard ours.

Let's get to refueling.

We've heard a lot about you, Phoenix Squadron.

You have? Yeah.

You blew up the comm tower on Lothal,

and Tarkin's Star Destroyer.

The tower wasn't us, but the Star Destroyer,

guilty as charged.

You might think twice

before you pull another stunt like that.

The Imperials have tightened security

throughout the entire Outer Rim as a result.

You're making things harder for all of us.

Well, we don't mind doing things the hard way.

Let's have this argument another time.

Your little encounter may have jeopardized this mission.

Oh, you mean the probe.

What did you expect us to do?

It would have been prudent to avoid detection,

as ordered.

This assignment is extremely sensitive.

Yeah? Well, maybe you should have

given us a few more details

instead of being so sensitive about your assignment.

Did your droid just insult us?

My crew did the best we could,

but you didn't give us much information to go on.

Look, that probe,

it was probably looking for us, specifically.

We are carrying cargo highly valuable to the Rebellion,

and desperately wanted by the Empire.

We have incoming!

Gold Leader, we have enemy contact.

Imperial cruiser and fighters.

Move to intercept. I'm on my way.

Gold Two is down.

Zeb, get her to Medical, and then get on the guns.

What about our ship?

We need all the firepower we can get.

You got anyone who can fly it?

Yeah, me.

He can do it.

Just remember what I taught you.

We need to detach from the transport

or we're all going down.

Chopper, jettison the fuel pod and get ready.

The hatch is jammed?

We'll have to detach it manually. Come on.

Form up a defensive perimeter.

We have got to protect our transport from that cruiser.

(OVER PA) Transport's lost shields.

Get everyone off the transport and on the Ghost, now.

Let us be of assistance, Captain.

Senator Mon Mothma?

Proper introductions will have to wait, I'm afraid.

Right. If you could help my droid,

I'll get us out of here.

Gold Leader, we need a diversion.

Copy. Gold Squadron, follow my lead.

I'm right behind you.

Take your shot, kid.

Whoa! What was that?

Ion cannon. Disabled their shields.

How's the detach coming?

We almost have it.

Detach complete.

Finish their cruiser.

Hit 'em, Gold Three.

Senator Mon Mothma, this is my crew,

Zeb Orrelios, and out there,

in one of your bombers, Ezra Bridger.

I know of young Mr. Bridger,

and I thank you, Captain Orrelios.

We saw your speech on the HoloNet.

You really let the Emperor have it.

I only wish words had more of an impact.

Senator, let's forget this mission

and get you back to Chandrila

to a proper hiding place.

No hiding.

My presence at the meeting is not optional.

You mean the meeting?

Erskin, I trust them to get me there.

We're in the process of building an alliance,

uniting the various rebel cells across the galaxy.

My challenge to the Emperor

was a call to stand against the Empire.

My hope is,

all who answer it will see that they are not alone.

I must be there to meet them.

Her involvement has been a secret,

but the Empire will be attempting to track any ship

that tries to leave this system.

I know a way to sneak you out of the sector.

Senator, we'll get you to that meeting.

Give them the coordinates to Dantooine.

The rebel squadron defended their transport vigorously,

but we thwarted their attempt to refuel.

A scan of the vessel before it was destroyed

revealed no cargo aboard, and only a small crew.

Their cargo was something prized,

a certain Senator, I suspect.

Senator Mothma?

Her capture is a priority.

If she escaped aboard the Ghost,
