Star Wars: The Clone Wars

Grievous in retreat!

Before the battleship Malevolence could destroy an Outer Rim clone medical base,

a Republic strike force, under the command of Jedi Anakin Skywalker,

crippled the warship, disabling its dreaded ion cannon.

All the Jedi relentlessly persue the Malevolence.

Commander, what is the damage level to the enemy ship?

She's lost a primary shield and stabilizes.

But the ship is so massive, it can take all the fire our cannons can give it.

We must summon reinforcements.

That's why I'm here, Master Plo.

Anakin, were you able to contact Master Luminara?

Yes, Master. She's busy with a fleet of separatits reinforcements nearby.

She won't be able to give us support until she's turned them away.

Then we'll have to make due with what we have.

We've lost our primary weapon.

The hyperdrive has been disabled.

General?

General, the forward engines are shutting down.

Impossible!

- Admiral, status report. - They're not attempting to jump

to hyperspace. Their hyperdrive must be damaged.

This is our chance.

All ships, target the bridge, maximum firepower.

It has not sustained extensive damage.

General, I have arranged a trap

which will give you an advantage over the jedi.

I assure you, that is unnecessary.

Do not compound your failure this day

by allowing our prize warship to fall.

My lord, they will never capture me or this ship.

Heading towards you is a very important galactic senator.

With her as your hostage, they will call off their attack.

As you wish, my lord.

My lady, are you sure

the information from chancellor Palpatine is reliable?

Yes, it was secretly given to him

by the supreme executive of the banking clan himself.

If they leave the separatist alliance,

it will go a long way to shortening this war.

We're approaching the system now.

My goodness!

This isn't right!

That's a droid warship. We're in the middle of a battle!

Sir, we're scanning a small ship off our bow.

Good. Our hostage has arrived.

Master, I'm picking up a signal near the enemy vessel.

Something just came out of hyperspace.

- Enemy reinforcements? - No.

It looks like a Naboo ship.

Gunners, stand down.

What in blazes are they doing out here?

Ahsoka, contact that ship.

- Naboo cruiser, identify yourself. - This is senator Amidala.

Padme? What are you doing out here?

I was sent on a special mission. The senate was told the banking clan

- wanted to negotiate a treaty. - Get out of there as fast as you can.

Activate the tractor beam.

- Have we been hit? - I'm afraid it's much worse than that.

Padme, what's happening?

I'm being pulled inside the droid cruiser by a tractor beam.

I will not be made a separatist bargaining chip.

Continue your attack. You must destroy this monstrous ship!

Admiral, order our ships to stop firing.

It does not look safe out there, my lady.

I see now this whole thing was a trap, and I'm afraid I walked right into it.

Sir, the Republic cruisers have halted their attack.

Jedi are so predictable.

Get the repair team up here.

Continue working on the hyperdrive.

I'm going down to the main hangar.

This ship must be returned to Count Dooku intact.

There is no room for failure.

Rail jet departing.

Come on, I've overloaded the power system.

We're doomed.

- Where do you think you're going? - Somebody has to save her skin.

I thought you might say that.

I'm afraid Master Skywalker is taking a terrible risk.

You get used to it.

Come on, 3PO, hurry.

Hurrying, my lady. I'm not sure this is such a good idea.

Welcome to rail jet substation 9-4.

Mind the gap.

Mind the gap.

Mind the gap.

You two, come with me.

Looks like the engines are set to destroy themselves.

Get out of my way!

Hey, that's just rude!

Watch what you're doing with that thing.

Sound the alarm!

We have stowaways on board.

I trust you've already formulated a brilliant plan to rescue the senator.

As a matter of fact, I have.

But do we have a plan "B"?

Every operation needs a backup, Anakin.

I don't have a backup... yet, but I do have a plan for getting on that ship.

Really?

The enemy sensors are obviously damaged,

so we'll sneak in behind them and dock at the emergency airlock.

That's your plan?

Just fly there, land,

hope they don't spot us, and walk in the door?

Basically.

Brilliant. Let's get going.

Pardon me, but might I suggest we keep moving?

I think I hear battle droids approaching.

But we also need to contact the fleet.

If I can just get this comm panel working.

My lady, I'm afraid I was right.

- General? - What?

The damage to the hyperdrive was not as bad as we first thought.

We should be able to get under way again shortly.

I must inform Count Dooku.

Stay here.

Continue the search.

Find the stowaway and bring them to me.

Roger, roger.

If they spot us, we'll be pulverized.

They're too busy repairing the ship.

They don't have time to notice us.

Subtlety has never been one of your strong points, Anakin.

Everything I know I learned from you, Master.

If only that were true.

- What was that? - What?

That noise. Didn't you hear it?

It sounded like a ship docking at one of the emergency airlocks.

Your circuits are loose. No one's crazy enough to do that.

Anakin, you're crazy.

Spinning is not flying.

- But it's a good trick. - We do not want to be spotted.

- I knew it! It's them! - No.

You stay here, R2.

Another bold strategy by Skywalker, I presume.

- That's my master. - Once they make it off that ship,

we'll need reinforcements to finish off the enemy.

I am on my way, Master Plo.

We're receiving a transmission from inside the Malevolence.

I believe it's the senator.

Yes.
