Star Wars: The Bad Batch

Who dares summon me here and question my loyalty?

The charges against me are false!

Stop wasting our time, Captain.

Confess to your crimes, and we may show mercy.

What proof do you have?

Your accomplices have been captured and told us everything.

There is no need for further deception.

You are guilty of conspiracy against this family.

Any last words?

This syndicate has grown weak under your rule, Lady Durand.

Weak, you say?

Who here agrees?

Cowards!

You're dismissed, Captain.

Who stands before me next?

The mercenaries we discussed.

Such courage to demand an audience with me.

You'd be dead if my son hadn't convinced me to consider your offer.

And we're here to deliver.

You asked for the Pyke who disgraced your family.

He's all yours.

It won't be traced back to you. We made sure of it.

Take him below.

No. No!

This isn't over, Durand.

Impressive.

Your willingness to cross the Pykes shows how desperate you are.

Tell me. Why is the intel you've requested of such value to you?

Dr. Hemlock stole someone from us.

We heard your syndicate had the connections needed

to find the Imperial's base.

And since we've upheld our end of the bargain,

now it's your turn.

- -

Hemlock's whereabouts have been well guarded by the Empire,

but one of our sources came across these coordinates linked to his laboratory.

And they've been verified?

Take what you came for and go, before my generosity runs out.

I hope you find who you're looking for.

Echo said he and Rex need two rotations

before they can meet us at the coordinates.

That's not good enough.

We're going now.

Hunter, the last time we stormed an Imperial base without backup,

not all of us made it out.

Omega's been waiting for us a long time, Wrecker.

I'm not making her wait another day.

It smells like rancid Jotaz out here.

There's nothing on the scanners.

The Empire could be jamming our sensors.

Oh, no.

Whoa.

That's Hemlock's lab?

They destroyed it.

Another orbital bombardment.

But Omega. I-I-If she was here--

We don't know if she was.

The Durands' intel could be wrong.

Let's get down there and check it out.

We're not alone.

Freeze!

Drop your weapons.

Blaster beats stick, kid.

Wrecker, they're regs.

And who are you?

We're clones. Same as you.

You don't look like clones.

They must be 99s.

Defectives.

Defective and effective.

What are you two doing out here?

What's it look like? Surviving.

Or trying to. No thanks to the Empire.

They send you to finish us off?

Do we look like we're with the Empire?

What do you want?

We're looking for a young girl.

She's a clone.

We think she was sent to the lab here.

Never saw anyone like that, but Mox might know about her.

He won't talk to them.

Please, we have to find her.

She's part of our squad.

Stick to the trail.

Follow our steps.

And don't touch the vines.

When the Empire transferred us off Kamino,

we thought we were getting more training.

Instead, they made us prisoners.

Took samples of our blood.

Why? What was the Empire doing here?

Whatever they wanted.

At least we escaped before they destroyed the facility.

And you survived alone out here ever since?

We're soldiers.

Or we were supposed to be.

Stop.

What?

Wrecker, behind you.

Run!

Don't fire! It gets hostile when you shoot.

You mean it's not already hostile?

No!

Hunter!

Come on!

What was that stuff?

Slither vines.

The Empire made it.

It's some kind of experimental weapon, until they lost control of it.

Probably why they ordered a Base Delta Zero on their own facility.

We'll be safe on the crag.

The slither vines haven't spread there.

Yet.

And this time, don't touch anything.

Yeah, yeah.

Mox.

Who are they?

Clones.

We found them by the overlook.

It's quite a place you got here.

What do you want?

We're looking for a young girl.

She was taken by an Imperial named Hemlock.

Her name's Omega.

Never saw a girl around the lab.

But I know Hemlock.

He was in charge until things changed.

One day, the Imperials started packing up and shipped out.

So we made our move and escaped.

We were the only ones who made it out before the orbital bombardment.

Even the clone troopers left us to die.

Said they were following orders.

We get it.

We've lost people too.

We can take you to someplace safe,

but we need to find out if Omega was here or where Hemlock took her.

There has to be some intel in that base.

One of the control room panels was still intact during our last scout.

I tried to use it to send a signal, but there was no power.

Can you take us there?

No way.

That area is covered in slither vines.

It's toxic.

Stak's right.

Going near those ruins is a suicide mission.

You're on your own.

They need help, Mox.

I'll go with them.

You know the risks of going down there.

And I thought he was the smart one.

I can get you inside the ruins,

but you won't be able to get anything from the console without a power source.
