Star Wars: Episode II - Attack of the Clones

Sazu489...

Senator, we're making our final approach into Coruscant.

Very good, Lieutenant.

We made it.

I guess I was wrong.

There was no danger at all.

Cordé.

Milady, I'm so sorry.

I've failed you, Senator.

No.

Milady, you're still in danger here.

- I shouldn't have come back. - This vote is very important.

You did your duty. Cordé did hers. Now, come.

Senator Amidala, please.

I don't know how much longer I can hold off the vote, my friends.

More and more star systems are joining the separatists.

If they do break away-

I will not let this Republic that has stood for a thousand years...

be split in two.

My negotiations will not fail.

If they do, you must realize...

there aren't enough Jedi to protect the Republic.

We're keepers of the peace, not soldiers.

Master Yoda...

do you think it will really come to war?

The dark side clouds everything.

Impossible to see the future is.

The Loyalist Committee has arrived, Your Honour.

Good.

Send them in.

We will discuss this matter later.

Senator Amidala, your tragedy on the landing platform-

terrible.

Seeing you alive brings warm feelings to my heart.

Do you have any idea who was behind this attack?

Our intelligence points to disgruntled spice miners on the moons of Naboo.

I think that Count Dooku was behind it.

He is a political idealist, not a murderer.

You know, milady, Count Dooku was once a Jedi.

He couldn't assassinate anyone. It's not in his character.

But for certain, Senator...

in grave danger you are.

Master Jedi, may I suggest...

the senator be placed under the protection of your graces?

Do you really think that's a wise decision under these stressful times?

Chancellor, if I may comment, I do not believe-

The situation is that serious?

No, but I do, Senator.

I realize all too well that additional security...

might be disruptive for you...

but perhaps someone you're familiar with.

An old friend, like Master Kenobi.

That's possible.

He's just returned from a border dispute on Ansion.

Do it for me, milady. Please?

The thought of losing you...

is unbearable.

I will have Obi-Wan report to you immediately, milady.

Thank you, Master Windu.

- You seem a little on edge. - Not at all.

I haven't felt you this tense since we fell into that nest of gundarks.

You fell into that nightmare, Master...

and I rescued you, remember?

Oh... yes.

You're sweating. Relax. Take a deep breath.

I haven't seen her in ten years, Master.

Obi? Obi!

- Mesa so smilen to seein yousa! - Good to see you again, Jar Jar.

Senator Padmé.

Mesa palos here! Lookie, lookie, Senator.

Desa Jedi arriven.

It's a great pleasure to see you again, milady.

It has been far too long, Master Kenobi.

Ani?

- My goodness, you've grown. - So have you.

Grown more beautiful, I mean.

Well, for a senator, I mean.

Ani, you'll always be that little boy I knew on Tatooine.

Our presence here will be invisible, milady, I can assure you.

I'm Captain Typho of Her Majesty's security service.

Queen Jamillia has been informed of your assignment.

I am grateful you are here, Master Kenobi.

The situation is more dangerous than the senator will admit.

I don't need more security. I need answers.

I want to know who's trying to kill me.

We are here to protect you, Senator, not to start an investigation.

We will find out who's trying to kill you, Padmé.

I promise you.

We will not exceed our mandate, my young Padawan learner.

I meant that in the interest of protecting her, Master, of course.

We will not go through this exercise again, Anakin...

and you will pay attention to my lead.

- Why? - What?

Why else do you think we were assigned to her if not to find the killer?

Protection is a job for local security, not Jedi.

It's overkill, Master. Investigation is implied in our mandate.

We will do exactly as the council has instructed.

And you will learn your place, young one.

Perhaps with merely your presence...

the mystery surrounding this threat will be revealed.

Now, if you'll excuse me...

I will retire.

I know I'll feel better having you here.

I'll have an officer stationed on every floor...

and I'll be in the control centre downstairs.

Mesa busten wit happiness seein yousa again, Ani.

She hardly even recognized me, Jar Jar.

I've thought about her every day since we parted and...

she's forgotten me completely.

Shesa happy.

Happier den mesa seein her in a longo time.

You're focusing on the negative, Anakin. Be mindful of your thoughts.

She was pleased to see us.

Now, let's check the security.

I hit the ship, but they used a decoy.

We'll have to try something more subtle this time, Zam.

My client is getting impatient.

Take these. Be careful. They're very poisonous.

And, Zam, there can be no mistakes this time.

Captain Typho has more than enough men downstairs.

No assassin would try that way.

- Any activity up here? - Quiet as a tomb.

I don't like just waiting here for something to happen to her.

- What's going on? - She covered the cameras.

I don't think she liked me watching her.

What is she thinking?

She programmed R2 to warn us if there is an intruder.

There are many other ways to kill a senator.

I know, but we also want to catch this assassin, don't we, Master?

You're using her as bait.

It was her idea.

Don't worry. No harm will come to her.

I can sense everything going on in that room.

Trust me.

It's too risky.

Besides, your senses aren't that attuned, my young apprentice.

And yours are?

Possibly.

You look tired.

I don't sleep well any more.

Because of your mother?

I don't know why I keep dreaming about her.

Dreams pass in time.

I'd much rather dream about Padmé.

Just being around her again is... intoxicating.

Be mindful of your thoughts, Anakin. They betray you.

You've made a commitment to the Jedi order...

a commitment not easily broken.

And don't forget, she's a politician. They're not to be trusted.

She's not like the others in the senate, Master.

It is my experience that senators focus...

only on pleasing those who fund their campaigns...

and they're in no means scared of forgetting the niceties of democracy...

- in order to get those funds. - Not another lecture.

At least not on the economics of politics.

And besides, you're generalizing.

The chancellor doesn't appear to be corrupt.

Palpatine is a politician.

I have observed that he is very clever...

in following the passions and the prejudices of the senators.

I think he's a good man-

I sense it too.

Stay here!

Are you all right, milady?

What the-

Jedi poo doo!

- What took you so long? - Oh, you know, Master.

- I couldn't find a speeder I liked... - There he is.

with the open cockpit and the right speed capabilities.

If you spent as long practising your sabre techniques as you do your wit...

you would rival Master Yoda as a swordsman.

I thought I already did.

Only in your mind, my very young apprentice.

Pull up, Anakin. Pull up!

You know I don't like it when you do that.

Sorry, Master. I forgot you don't like flying.

I don't mind flying, but what you're doing is suicide!

Anakin! How many times have I told you...

stay away from power couplings!

That was good!

Where are you going? He went that way.

Master, if we keep this chase going any longer...

that creep is gonna end up deep-fried...

and, personally, I'd like to find out who he is and who he's working for.

This is a short cut... I think.

Well, you've lost him.

I'm deeply sorry, Master.

That was some short cut, Anakin.

He went completely the other way.

- Once again you've proved- - If you'll excuse me.

I hate it when he does that.

Anakin!

- She went into the club, Master. - Patience.

- Use the Force. Think. - Sorry, Master.

- He went in there to hide, not to run. - Yes, Master.

- Next time, try not to lose it. - Yes, Master.

- This weapon is your life. - I try, Master.

Why do I get the feeling you're going to be the death of me?

Don't say that, Master.

You're the closest thing I have to a father.
