Star Wars: The Bad Batch

When have we ever followed orders?

We've stayed off the Empire's radar since Kamino.

I'd like to keep it that way.

Pull off this heist, and you can buy your freedom.

We're already free.

It's cute you think that.

More and more of our brothers are waking up to what's been done to them.

We should be doing more.

The progress we are making in the field of cloning is

of great importance to the Emperor.

We shall usher in a new era.

We make our own decisions. Our own choices.

And we have to live with them too.

Help him!

He is expendable, as are you.

Lieutenant.

Your former squad, they're in possession of something I need.

The kid.

Plan 88. They're after Omega.

I found a recent distress message sent

from Crosshair's old code.

Crosshair turned on the Empire?

If there's a chance to get him back, we have to take it.

Sacrifices have to be made for the greater good.

When have we ever followed orders?

No!

Tech!

The Empire's here.

What did you do?

I did not come here for them, Omega.

I came to return you to Nala Se.

Why did they bring me here?

We are going to get her back.

And we don't stop searching until we do.

Shuttle 135 to Tantiss base. Do you copy?

Affirmative, 135.

What is your status?

On final approach, but visibility is limited.

You're cleared for landing.

Stay on course.

Whoa!

Mayday! Mayday!

Our systems are unresponsive. Do you copy?

I can't restore power.

We're going down!

TK-343 to base. Do you copy?

We have to get moving. There are creatures in this jungle.

Relax. The lurca hounds keep them at bay.

Not this far out.

We need to...

TK-343 to base. Send backup!

What's that?

Why hasn't the shuttle arrived yet?

Sir, the vessel crashed in sector four.

Should I send a recovery team?

- Negative. - Over there!

If they're past the perimeter, then they're as good as dead.

Good morning, Omega.

How are you feeling today?

Like a prisoner.

I want to leave.

Prisoner? Omega, you are no such thing.

It will take time to adjust, but you will acclimate.

It is far safer in here than out there.

Come.

We have much to do.

And now, I need to take a blood sample from you.

From me?

Why?

The samples are used for various research projects.

All of us serve a purpose here.

It won't hurt.

Can you at least tell me where my brothers are?

I do not know.

If you're a clone like me, how come I never saw you on Kamino?

Because I was sent elsewhere until Dr. Hemlock took me under his wing.

He saw potential in me, like Nala Se sees in you.

I never knew that I had a sister.

It's nice not being alone.

Head to the lab.

Nala Se is expecting these.

Thank you, Omega.

Omega, your sample was taken?

Mm-hmm. Emerie said it was routine.

Why are you discarding it?

Tell no one.

It is safer this way.

This research,

it's not like what we did on Kamino, is it?

No, it is not.

I don't understand.

Why did they bring me here?

To ensure that I cooperate.

The Empire seeks the reproduction of a genetic M-count,

but the experiments on the specimens have yet to yield the desired result.

What specimens?

You mean the clones?

No. Not the clones.

How nice to see you reunited with your trusted assistant.

I'm sure Omega's presence here will only strengthen your efforts.

Shall we head to the vault?

See to your remaining tasks.

Hi, Batcher.

Hmm. Still won't eat the food, huh?

I don't blame you.

Here. I saved you some of mine.

Better?

I'll bring you more tomorrow.

Crosshair.

I tried to come earlier, but there were too many guards watching me.

You shouldn't be down here at all.

Well, how else are we gonna plan an escape?

There is no "we."

And there is no escape.

I've already tried.

Every stronghold has a weak point.

Maybe I can convince Emerie to help. She's one of us.

Not every clone is your ally.
