A terrorist threat!
Moralo Eval, mastermind of a
separatist plot to kidnap
chancellor Palpatine, has been
captured by Republic forces!
But even with the criminal
behind bars, rumors swirl
in the underworld of Coruscant
that Moralo's plot has
already been set in motion.
With precious time running out,
the Jedi council hatches their
own plot to keep the chancellor safe.
So what's the big rush?
The Jedi council has called
an emergency meeting.
I can see it now.
Another long, boring debate.
Would you rather they call
you in to train younglings?
Are you crazy?
Any idea where that shot came from?
A sniper, I see him up there.
All right, here's the plan.
Anakin, you flank him on the right.
Ahsoka, you cover the lower streets.
I'm going after him.
I lost him!
Obi-Wan, do you have anything?
Ah!
Obi-Wan!
I got him! Go!
How is he?
Obi-Wan.
Obi-Wan.
Obi-Wan!
I'm worried about Anakin.
He hasn't said a word
since it happened.
Wow, I want to check his
midi-chlorian count.
What's your pleasure?
Shot of your finest.
So what's the big deal?
I'm celebrating the death
Of a Jedi.
I killed Obi-Wan Kenobi!
Having second thoughts, master Yoda?
Hmm.
Heading down a dark path, we are.
We talked about this.
Killing a Jedi was the
best move we had.
Hmm.
So how was my funeral?
A better performance than
you, your corpse gave.
Whatever do you mean?
I fell from the top of a building.
I could have killed myself.
Survived worse, you have.
Young Skywalker knows this.
I took the vitals
suppressor as instructed.
I was dead to the world
when Anakin moved my body.
There's no way he could
know I was alive.
Not know, but sense he will
that something is not right.
Keeping Anakin on the
outside was critical.
Everyone knows how close we are.
It was his reaction
that sold the sniper.
I'm sure of it.
What's done is done.
We need to get your
transformation under way.
Well, time for a shave.
Tell me about my target.
His name is Moralo Eval.
Works directly for Count Dooku.
Rumor is their plot will be
hatched in three revolutions
at the festival on Naboo.
We tried to make a deal with Moralo, for
more details, but he was uncooperative.
Any details that might help
me gain his trust while in prison?
Eval killed his mother
when he was only a boy.
Told the authorities he did
it because he was bored.
Hmm, I'll try not to bore him.
Not a game is this, Obi-Wan.
The risks, great they are.
Yes, and so are the rewards.
Besides preventing Eval from
abducting the chancellor,
he could lead us to grievous
and possibly Dooku himself.
Facial transformation program loaded.
I take it there's no way to
have the chancellor pull
out of the festival?
No.
See it as a sign of
weakness he would.
Sign of weakness.
Wouldn't want that.
Transformation initiated.
This cantina is a bust.
You want to go to the next one?
Rako Hardeen?
Who wants to know?
Your employer has your payment.
Please follow me.
Round for the house!
Whoo-hoo!
Yeah!
Yes!
Oh, yeah!
This way.
Inside, if you please.
Well done, Mr.
Hardeen.
You did precisely the
job we hired you for.
We have your credits right here.
But first we need one more thing.
Your clothes.
What the--
I still don't understand.
Did master Yoda say how
they found the sniper?
Who cares?
All that matters is they did.
So I took off in my speeder,
and then I got a ride here.
That's it.
Keep talking Into this.
This is stupid.
Confessing to a ***
I didn't even do!
Oh, but you did.
For all intents and purposes,
Obi-Wan Kenobi is dead.
And that certainly
was your intention.
How do I look?
Like a criminal.
Should buy you all the
credibility you need in prison.
Look, I don't know what
you guys are up to but--
do we have enough recdiding?
I believe so.
Which means you can go to sleep now.
So how does this vocal emulator work?
Well, you swallow it.
I was afraid you'd say that.
What an odd sensation.
It will take some getting used to.
That's a luxury you don't have.
I hope this works.
Where is Rako Hardeen?
Ah, back room.
Is he dead?
He's about to be.
A Jedi?
I already killed a Jedi today.
Let me sleep.
He's not dead.
He's drunk.
Get up, you filth!
If it was up to me, I would
kill you right here!
But lucky for you, the man
you murdered would rather
see you rot in jail.
Now, let's go, you coward,
before I change my mind.
You should be expecting this ***.
Yes, sir.
Let me know if he's any trouble.
I'd be happy to straighten him out.
That's him!
Kenobi's killer.
Rako Hardeen.
He doesn't look so tough.
He killed a Jedi.
That's him?
That's the Jedi killer?
He doesn't look so tough.
You don't look so tough to me.
This food tastes terrible.
Maybe you'd taste better.
Hey, what's going on down there?
Sorry, just playing with my food.
Ah!
You're crazy!
Poo shan ika!
Rako Hardeen, your reputation
precedes you.
I'm curious, when you killed
that Jedi, was it for money
or revenge?
I don't know.
Guess I was bored.
Try the sauce.
It makes that slop almost tolerable.
I'll be seeing you, Mr.
Hardeen.
Here ya go, Hardeen.
Home, sweet home.
Hmm, what a coincidence.
No coincidence.
I am Moralo Eval, and I have
great influence here.
What do you want from me?
A man like you, there's
bigger game than Jedi,
if you've got the guts.
I'm listening.
It's a brilliant plan, if I do say so,
and it involves the chancellor.
If I'm breaking out this goon
along with us, it'll cost you.
Double my rate.
Rako Hardeen, meet Cad Bane.
Who you calling a goon?
Any imbecile can kill j Jedi
with a lousy sniper blast.
You want my respect?
You do it face-to-face.
Who said I want your respect?
Make that triple my rate.
Oh, what a shame.
Seems this cell isn't big enough
for the three of us.
Guard!
It's been a pleasure chatting
with you, Hardeen.
But you will forget everything
you heard in here,
or Moralo Eval will
have you slaughtered.
We were just leaving.
This is Ben.
I found the transmitter,
but I shall have to make this short.
We have a problem.
I made contact with Eval.
He nearly divulged his kidnap
plot, but Cad Bane stopped him.
Cad Bane?
We had no intel they were in
league together.
It appears Eval's hired Bane
to break him out of prison,
and the way they were talking,
it's imminent.
Foolish we were to believe
Bane's capture was without purpose.
Yes.
Yes, but we can make
this work for us.
If they do try to escape, I
won't let them out of my sight.
No doubt he shall lead us to
some answers about the plot
and possibly to his superiors.
Good idea, Obi-Wan.
Just don't blow your cover.
It could take awhile to extract
you from prison.
Not to worry.
I'm starting to enjoy playing
the villain.
Got to go.
Hey, Hardeen.
You owe me something.
Oh, do I?
You don't even remember me?
That's very insulting
look, kid, I don't want any trouble.
You stole a bounty from me,
and I want an apology!
Kill him, Hardeen, like the Jedi!
Kill him, Hardeen!
What's wrong, Hardeen?
You lose your spine?
You don't want to do this.
Kill him!
Oh, yes, I do.
I warned you.
All right, all right, that's it
fight's over!
No, it ain't.
You got a problem with Boba,
you got a problem with me.
All right that's enough, big fella!
Hey, let's get 'em!
Let's get them!
Riot!
Get the guards!
Get them!
Yeah!
We need reinforcements in here now!
Kill the guards!
Riot!
Riot!
What do we do?
Part of my plan.
Paid off the kid to create
a diversion.
Let's go.
Facility on lock-down.
Facility on lock-down.
Facility on lock-down.
Turn your weapons off stun.
Kill the prisoners if you have to.
Hey, wait for me.
- No one invited you.
- He killed a Jedi.
He cou b be helpful.
Fine.
We're wasting time.
Ah, I'm telling you,
it g gonna be a long night.
This is our way out of here.
The morgue?
This is your brilliant plan?
Not the first time I've
broken out of this stink hole.
The lock has changed.
Your plan has failed.
Shut up!
Let me think.
I can get us inside.
I'll rewire the access port
on this door.
It'll take some time, so warn me
if anyone comes.
Make it quick
We're in.
All the riot casualties are
sent to the crematorium.
From there it's an easy escape.
Another night, another riot.
The guards are coming back.
You said it, partner.
You know, sometimes this makes
me wish I was on the front.
I'll take blasting clankers
any day over this.
Yeah, me too.
Give me droids over this prison ***.
After what just happened up
there, we'll need more room in here.
You can say that again.
Here, I'll send these to the
cremation center.
Hey, wait.
It looks like a couple of them
are showing vital signs.
All right, I'll check it out.
Whoa!
What's the matter with you?
My blaster jammed.
Let's go.
Soon as we're off Coruscant,
we're safe.
That's for hesitating during
the escape.
If it wasn't for me, we'd
still be stuck in there.
Yeah, funny how that worked out.
Huh?
Hey, my ship!
Come back here!
You did well in there, Hardeen.
Maybe there's a place for you
in my plans after all.
I'm listening.
