The Mandalorian

Such a large bounty

for such a small package.

My armor has lost its integrity.

I may need to begin again.

I must warn you. It will draw many eyes.

They all hate you, Mando.

Now, how can I show my gratitude to my most valuable partner?

What are they doing with it?

I didn't ask. It's against the Guild Code.

Step aside. I'm going to my ship.

You put the bounty down and perhaps I'll let you pass.

How many of them had tracking fobs?

All of them. All of them!

I'm gonna get you.

Oh.

- Go, go, go! - They're back!

- Go! - Run for cover.

- Get inside! - Mama!

Mama!

- Mama! - Go!

- Mama! - Winta!

Mama!

Come on.

Stop touching things.

Let's see. Sorgan.

Looks like there's no star port, no industrial centers,

no population density.

Real backwater skug hole.

Which means it's perfect for us.

You ready to lay low and stretch your legs for a couple of months,

you little womp rat?

Nobody's gonna find us here.

Now listen. I'm gonna go out there

and I'm gonna look around.

It shouldn't take too long.

Now, don't touch anything.

I'll find us some lodging, then I'll come back for you.

You stay right here.

You stay. Don't move.

You understand?

Great.

Oh, what the hell? Come on.

Welcome, travelers. Can I interest you in anything?

Bone broth, for the little one.

Oh, well, you're in luck. I just took down a grinjer,

so there's plenty.

Can I interest you in a porringer of broth as well?

- Just the one. - Very well.

That one over there. When did she arrive?

I've seen her here for the last week or so.

- What's her business here? - Business?

Oh, well, there's not much business

in Sorgan, so I can't say.

She doesn't strike me as a log runner. Well, thank you, sir.

I will get that broth to you as soon as possible,

and I will throw in a flagon of spotchka just for good measure.

I will be right back with that.

Keep an eye on the kid.

Yes, sir.

You want some soup?

Saw most of my action mopping up after Endor.

Mostly Ex-Imperial Warlords.

They wanted it fast and quiet.

They'd send us in on the drop ships.

No support, just us.

Then when the Imps were gone, the politics started.

We were peacekeepers, protecting delegates, suppressing riots.

Not what I signed up for.

How'd you end up here?

Let's just call it an early retirement.

Look, I knew you were Guild.

I figured you had a fob on me.

That's why I came at you so hard.

Yeah, that's what I figured.

Well, this has been a real treat,

but unless you wanna go another round,

one of us is gonna have to move on, and I was here first.

Well, looks like this planet's taken.

Excuse me.

Excuse me, sir.

There something I can help you with?

Uh, yeah.

Raiders.

We have money.

So, you think I'm some kinda mercenary?

You are a Mandalorian, right?

Or at least wearing Mandalorian armor.

That is Mandalorian armor, right?

- It is. - See? I told him.

Sir, I've read a lot about your people... Tribe.

- If half of what I read is true... - We have money.

- How much? - Everything we have, sir.

- Our whole harvest was stolen. - Krill. We're krill farmers.

We brew spotchka. Our whole village chipped in.

It's not enough.

Are you sure? You don't even know what the job is.

I know it's not enough. Good luck.

This is everything we have.

We'll give you more after the next harvest.

Come on. Let's head back.

Took us the whole day to get here.

Now we have to ride back with no protection

to the middle of nowhere.

Where do you live?

On a farm. Weren't you listening?

We're farmers.

In the middle of nowhere?

Yes.

You have lodging?

Yeah. Absolutely.

Good. Come up and help.

I'm gonna need one more thing.

Give me those credits.

Ready for round two?

So, we're basically running off a band

of Raiders for lunch money?

They're quartering us in the middle of nowhere.

Last I checked, that's a pretty square deal

for somebody in your position.

Worst case scenario, you tune up your blaster.

Best case, we're a deterrent.

I can't imagine there's anything living in these trees

that an ex-shock trooper couldn't handle.

Everyone, they're here!

Come on.

Well, looks like they're happy to see us.

Looks like.

- Hi. - He's so cute.

Aw!

Please come in.

I hope this is comfortable for you.

Sorry that all we have is the barn.

This will do fine.

I stacked some blankets over here.

Thank you. That's very kind.

This is my daughter, Winta.

We don't get a lot of visitors around here.

She's not used to strangers.

This nice man is going to help protect us from the bad ones.

Thank you.

Come on, Winta. Let's give our guests some room.

Knock, knock.

Come in.

Can I feed him?

Sure.

Are you hungry?

Can I play with him?

Sure.

Come on.

- I don't think... - They'll be fine.

- I don't... - They'll be fine.

I brought you some food.

I noticed you didn't eat out there.

I'll leave it here for when I go.

That's very thoughtful of you.

Do you mind if ask you something?

Go ahead.

How long has it been since you've taken that off?

Yesterday.

I mean, in front of someone else.

I wasn't much older than they are.

You haven't shown your face to anyone since you were a kid?

No. I was happy that they took me in.
