1. Crossroads!
Copy !req
2. After leaving the Jedi Order,
Copy !req
3. Ahsoka Tano finds herself
far away from the life she once knew.
Copy !req
4. Here in the underworld of Coruscant,
Copy !req
5. she meets Trace Martez, an aspiring pilot,
and her older sister Rafa,
Copy !req
6. a streetwise gambler
with lofty aspirations.
Copy !req
7. In their short time together,
Copy !req
8. Ahsoka realizes
not everyone sees the Jedi as heroes,
Copy !req
9. a lesson
she only recently learned herself.
Copy !req
10. I can tell
you've worked on starships before.
Copy !req
11. That must have been
some academy you went to Topside.
Copy !req
12. Yeah, the best.
Copy !req
13. What was it called?
Copy !req
14. Uh... Skywalker Academy.
Copy !req
15. Skywalker? Never heard of it,
but what do I know living down here?
Copy !req
16. I never really heard of any academy.
Copy !req
17. Not like I was ever gonna attend one.
Copy !req
18. Why not?
Copy !req
19. First,
there aren't any academies down here.
Copy !req
20. Second, if there was,
I couldn't afford it.
Copy !req
21. I mean, look around. This is it.
Copy !req
22. Rafa and I inherited this hangar
after our parents... split.
Copy !req
23. And the shop Rafa owns?
Copy !req
24. She won it gambling so she could use it
as a front for her schemes.
Copy !req
25. Where'd you get the ship?
Copy !req
26. This? This is me.
Copy !req
27. I did odd jobs, mech work,
whatever I could to make some credits,
Copy !req
28. and assembled it piece by piece.
Copy !req
29. All that, plus Rafa chipping in.
And now I've got myself a starship.
Copy !req
30. Impressive.
Copy !req
31. No, impressive is coming up.
Copy !req
32. Once the Silver Angel
revs up its hyperdrive.
Copy !req
33. The Silver Angel?
Copy !req
34. Yeah, why?
Copy !req
35. I don't know. I just never heard a name
like that before.
Copy !req
36. Wait, you're saying it's a bad name?
Copy !req
37. Hey, it's your ship,
you call it what you want.
Copy !req
38. Why don't you name my bike
while you're at it?
Copy !req
39. I did. Trash. Its name is Trash.
Copy !req
40. Very funny.
Copy !req
41. So, once you're done,
where are you headed?
Copy !req
42. I don't know. This is all new to me.
Copy !req
43. That's why you should stick around.
Copy !req
44. I figured I'd be on my own for a bit.
Copy !req
45. Yeah, that doesn't seem
like the best idea.
Copy !req
46. I mean, you crashed here
on that piece of junk.
Copy !req
47. What if you didn't crash
on my landing platform?
Copy !req
48. Things could've gotten messy for you.
Copy !req
49. Believe me, things couldn't be
a bigger mess for me
Copy !req
50. than they already are.
Copy !req
51. So you'll stay a little while longer,
at least.
Copy !req
52. That way we can test the Silver Angel.
Copy !req
53. All right,
as long as Rafa doesn't mind.
Copy !req
54. "As long as Rafa doesn't mind" what?
Copy !req
55. Ahsoka's gonna be staying on for a bit.
Copy !req
56. You got any skills?
Copy !req
57. Only useful ones.
Copy !req
58. We'll find out soon enough.
Copy !req
59. What's up?
Copy !req
60. Look, I wouldn't ask you to do this,
but I'm in a tough spot.
Copy !req
61. I hired a starship and crew for a job.
Copy !req
62. You what? You were gonna leave me here?
Copy !req
63. No, I was gonna do a job,
make us some money, and be back.
Copy !req
64. But then the pilot backed out
and took his ship with him, and—
Copy !req
65. I don't know what's worse.
That you were gonna do this
Copy !req
66. or that you hired a pilot other than me
to do it with.
Copy !req
67. Well, now I need you.
Copy !req
68. Only as a backup.
Copy !req
69. What's the job?
Copy !req
70. I'll tell you once we're underway.
Copy !req
71. I still haven't agreed to it.
Copy !req
72. Trace, please, I need your help with this.
Copy !req
73. You mean, you need the best pilot around
and the fastest ship you know?
Copy !req
74. Yes, to both of those.
Copy !req
75. Who looks out for you, huh?
Copy !req
76. You do, Rafa.
Copy !req
77. That's right.
Remember, we can't count on anyone.
Copy !req
78. So we count on ourselves.
And maybe Ahsoka.
Copy !req
79. Maybe.
Copy !req
80. Come on. I wanna get going.
Go warm the engines up.
Copy !req
81. You show up outta nowhere,
Copy !req
82. suddenly you and my sister
are inseparable?
Copy !req
83. What are you after?
Copy !req
84. Excuse me?
Copy !req
85. Come on. Everyone plays an angle.
Copy !req
86. I don't mind,
except when it involves Trace.
Copy !req
87. So tell me, what are you after?
Copy !req
88. Her mech-bay? Her ship?
Copy !req
89. I don't have an angle, unless maybe to
keep you both out of trouble.
Copy !req
90. Hmm.
Copy !req
91. You ever thought you might be the trouble
she needs to stay away from?
Copy !req
92. Ahsoka, Rafa, welcome aboard the...
the Silver Angel.
Copy !req
93. The Silver Angel?
You should rethink that.
Copy !req
94. That's what I told her.
Copy !req
95. Ugh, just strap in.
Copy !req
96. Trace, where are you going?
Copy !req
97. I'm just trying to get into this lane.
Copy !req
98. That's a military lane. You can't go
there. That's a restricted area.
Copy !req
99. - We're being hailed.
- Don't answer that.
Copy !req
100. - We have to answer that.
- No, we don't.
Copy !req
101. Trace, just get us out of here.
Copy !req
102. Don't do anything
that makes us look suspicious.
Copy !req
103. We already look suspicious.
Copy !req
104. - Fly higher.
- Stop telling me what to do.
Copy !req
105. - Pull up. Pull up!
- Stop telling me what to do.
Copy !req
106. - Don't answer that.
Copy !req
107. This is the Silver Angel.
What can I do for you?
Copy !req
108. Have you lost your mind?
Copy !req
109. This is military airspace.
Copy !req
110. Civilian transports are not authorized
to be in this sector.
Copy !req
111. I'll have your star pilot license
for this!
Copy !req
112. "License"? Do I need one of those?
Copy !req
113. Uh, sorry. So— So sorry.
Copy !req
114. It won't happen again.
Just teaching my younger sister to fly.
Copy !req
115. Oh, you're teaching me to fly?
That's a laugh.
Copy !req
116. Who is this?
What's your license number?
Copy !req
117. - Just get in the transport lane and fly.
Copy !req
118. Who was on board that transport?
Copy !req
119. Oh, just some rookie pilots,
apparently on their first maneuvers.
Copy !req
120. I was just about to send a detachment
to arrest them.
Copy !req
121. Should I send a detachment, General?
Copy !req
122. No. It's nothing.
Copy !req
123. You still haven't told us
where we're going.
Copy !req
124. She doesn't like surprises, I see.
Copy !req
125. - Really? How'd you manage that?
Copy !req
126. This is what I was working towards.
Take us out, Captain.
Copy !req
127. This is exciting.
I've never been to hyperspace before.
Copy !req
128. What? What have you been flying?
Copy !req
129. Oh, mainly speeders, you know,
maintenance vehicles.
Copy !req
130. Whatever I could get my hands on.
Copy !req
131. See why I tried to hire a different pilot?
Copy !req
132. Trace's flying is more of a dream
than a reality.
Copy !req
133. - What did you say?
- Oh, I-I said the ship flies like a dream.
Copy !req
134. Yeah, a bad one.
Copy !req
135. What? Oh...
Copy !req
136. I left the air brakes on.
That could've been bad.
Copy !req
137. Kessel. You're taking us to Kessel?
Copy !req
138. I'm taking us to fortune and glory.
Copy !req
139. I've heard pilots talk about this place.
It's legendary.
Copy !req
140. Yeah, it's legendary for its corruption.
Copy !req
141. Rafa, what are we doing here?
Copy !req
142. Picking up medicine.
Copy !req
143. This place is beautiful.
Copy !req
144. See, Ahsoka,
there's nothing to worry about.
Copy !req
145. Which one of you is Rafa Martez?
Copy !req
146. I am.
Copy !req
147. I am Kinash Lock, King Yaruba's majordomo.
Copy !req
148. We've been expecting you.
We've prepared a banquet
Copy !req
149. to show his thanks for your services.
Copy !req
150. Lead the way, Sir.
Copy !req
151. Welcome to the big time.
Copy !req
152. So, when is the king showing?
Copy !req
153. He leaves matters like this to me.
Copy !req
154. However,
if you show yourself to be dependable,
Copy !req
155. you will have the opportunity
to meet His Royal Highness.
Copy !req
156. We won't disappoint.
Copy !req
157. I've got one of the fastest ships around.
Copy !req
158. What kind of medicine are we transporting?
Copy !req
159. The essence of the medicine.
Copy !req
160. You will deliver three containers
of unrefined spice.
Copy !req
161. Upon satisfactory delivery,
you will be awarded a full shipment
Copy !req
162. and a contract to transport for us
on a continual basis.
Copy !req
163. May as well get that contract ready.
Copy !req
164. 'Cause we've got the fastest ship around.
Copy !req
165. They know, Trace.
Copy !req
166. We're working for a king.
Copy !req
167. Many things can be made out of spice
and they're not all good.
Copy !req
168. I'm not sure what you mean.
Copy !req
169. In this time of war,
our spice is refined into a medicine
Copy !req
170. that saves people across the galaxy.
Copy !req
171. The Yaruba Family of Kessel
Copy !req
172. has always been a promoter
of health and happiness across the stars.
Copy !req
173. Now, come, Ms. Martez. Let us get
the spice into this very fast ship.
Copy !req
174. Running spice is dangerous.
The transport ships get attacked often.
Copy !req
175. Yeah,
by pirates looking for a quick score.
Copy !req
176. But they always go after the bigger Kessel
transport ships, obvious targets.
Copy !req
177. That's why the king hired us.
Copy !req
178. We don't fit the description
of your normal transport.
Copy !req
179. But we're leaving Kessel. It's not hard
to figure out what we might be here for.
Copy !req
180. You know a lot about Kessel
for a mechanic.
Copy !req
181. I've heard the stories.
Copy !req
182. Then you better hope
the pilot of the Silver Angel
Copy !req
183. is as good as she says she is.
Copy !req
184. I'm starting to see why Rafa
didn't originally hire you for this job.
Copy !req
185. It's dangerous.
Copy !req
186. That's just your nerves talking.
Copy !req
187. No, I'm serious. Running spice
is no simple transport mission.
Copy !req
188. Rafa looks out for me.
Copy !req
189. Sure, I wasn't her first choice
for this job.
Copy !req
190. But she wouldn't have asked me to do it
if she didn't believe I could.
Copy !req
191. How many times
has Rafa done a job like this?
Copy !req
192. I don't think she ever has.
Copy !req
193. So, how can she possibly know
what we're up against?
Copy !req
194. Hey, there's a first time for everything.
Copy !req
195. We're coming up on the mining zone.
Copy !req
196. Now, this looks like
the Kessel from the stories.
Copy !req
197. Spice mining
has made the people of Kessel wealthy.
Copy !req
198. There's always a price to be paid.
Copy !req
199. There's the platform now.
Copy !req
200. Look at all those droids.
Copy !req
201. The king's spice sales
must buy thousands of them.
Copy !req
202. Trace, those are not droids.
They're people.
Copy !req
203. - Must be local workers.
- I think the term is slaves.
Copy !req
204. Can't be. An operation this large,
the Republic wouldn't stand for it.
Copy !req
205. They'd shut the place down.
Copy !req
206. Yeah, you'd think they would.
Copy !req
207. You're all ready to depart.
Copy !req
208. Ahsoka, let's go make sure
they secure the bins.
Copy !req
209. I'm not sure if I like her or not.
Copy !req
210. You never like any of my friends.
Copy !req
211. She's not family, Trace. Remember that.
Copy !req
212. I'll keep an eye on her.
You just do your job.
Copy !req
213. Kid, I got us a job.
The rest is up to you.
Copy !req
214. Now, let's get this spice
where it belongs.
Copy !req
215. Next stop Oba Diah, right?
Copy !req
216. Oba Diah, indeed.
Marg Krim better have my money waiting.
Copy !req
217. Marg Krim? The Pyke crime boss?
Copy !req
218. Why am I not surprised
you know about the Pykes?
Copy !req
219. As a matter of fact,
how do you know about the Pykes?
Copy !req
220. I know you can't make a deal with them.
Copy !req
221. Already did.
Copy !req
222. Trace, how does she know so much?
Copy !req
223. How do you know so much?
Copy !req
224. I pay attention to the world around me,
Copy !req
225. like the fact that
the Pykes are gangsters.
Copy !req
226. Gangsters?
What, like Pintu back on Coruscant?
Copy !req
227. No. Much worse. Galactically worse.
Copy !req
228. They'll take your ship,
your life, everything!
Copy !req
229. - My ship?
- Well, I took a job, Ahsoka.
Copy !req
230. We need all the credits we can get.
Copy !req
231. This is bad, Trace.
Copy !req
232. Rafa, what are they gonna do to my ship?
Copy !req
233. Nothing! See, this is why
I didn't want you for this job.
Copy !req
234. I wouldn't bring that up right now
if I were you.
Copy !req
235. Why not make the best of a bad situation
Copy !req
236. and deliver this spice to someplace
that can use it for medicine?
Copy !req
237. - No one is taking my ship.
- Because that doesn't pay,
Copy !req
238. and Trace and I have a lot of people on
Coruscant waiting for money we owe them.
Copy !req
239. No. You owe them, not her.
Copy !req
240. Sisters take care of each other.
We can't pay off debt with your morality.
Copy !req
241. No one is taking my ship.
Copy !req
242. Think of all the good you could do
Copy !req
243. if we delivered the spice
to someplace else instead of the Pykes.
Copy !req
244. Think of all the good you can do
by helping us finish this job.
Copy !req
245. I said no one is taking my ship!
Copy !req
246. What was that?
Copy !req
247. - Oh, no. What did you do?
- What did you do?
Copy !req
248. I dumped the spice.
Copy !req
249. - You did what?
- You did what?
Copy !req
250. Problem solved.
Neither one of you gets your way.
Copy !req
251. And I keep my ship. You're welcome.
Copy !req
252. Of all the choices you could make,
that is literally the worst one.
Copy !req
253. I can't believe this,
but I agree with her.
Copy !req
254. What?
Copy !req
255. The spice gave us options. Now—
Copy !req
256. Now we have a deal to deliver spice
to an intergalactic crime syndicate
Copy !req
257. and no spice to deliver.
Copy !req
258. But I thought delivering spice
to gangsters was a bad thing.
Copy !req
259. It is. But you have to pay them somehow.
Right now, we owe the Pykes.
Copy !req
260. Then how was turning the spice
into medicine gonna solve anything?
Copy !req
261. Well, that was more of an ethical debate.
Copy !req
262. I hadn't figured out
how to solve the Pyke problem yet.
Copy !req
263. You two are just a pair, that's for sure.
Copy !req
264. I'll tell you what, I can think of one way
to pay off the Pykes.
Copy !req
265. And I'm standing in it.
Copy !req
266. No one is touching my ship.
Copy !req
267. You should have thought of that
Copy !req
268. before you dumped 30,000 credits
worth of spice into space.
Copy !req
269. Stop it, both of you.
Copy !req
270. I said
I didn't have it figured it out yet!
Copy !req
271. Oh, but you do now?
Copy !req
272. We'll find out.
Copy !req
273. Okay. Do we need to go over it again?
Copy !req
274. Nope. Because no matter
how many times we go over it,
Copy !req
275. I can tell you, it's not going to work.
Copy !req
276. Why?
Copy !req
277. Because it's a bad plan.
Copy !req
278. It is a pretty bad plan.
Copy !req
279. I'm sorry.
Did either of you have a better one?
Copy !req
280. Well, then, sounds like my plan
is the best one we got.
Copy !req
281. That's not really addressing
whether or not it's gonna work.
Copy !req
282. Don't worry. I've got a trick or two
that you don't know about.
Copy !req
283. Care to share?
Copy !req
284. No. Not yet at least.
Copy !req
285. I assume that you had no trouble
transporting the spice from Kessel?
Copy !req
286. Not at all. This is one of
the smoothest jobs I've ever had.
Copy !req
287. Hmm. Good.
Copy !req
288. If anything had happened, it would have
been very unfortunate for you.
Copy !req
289. Here is your payment.
Copy !req
290. Now, let us take a look at that cargo.
Copy !req
291. You don't trust me? I mean, you hired me.
Copy !req
292. I don't trust anyone who isn't a Pyke.
Copy !req
293. You want to pay us our credits
and send us on our way.
Copy !req
294. Here are your credits.
Copy !req
295. Now, go on your way.
Copy !req
296. I take it back. I'm liking this plan.
Copy !req
297. This is highly irregular.
Copy !req
298. I'm going to make sure
everything sorts out to our liking.
Copy !req
299. Sure.
Copy !req
300. Thanks for everything.
We'll hopefully see you soon.
Copy !req
301. Fire up the ship.
Copy !req
302. Just a moment.
Copy !req
303. I need the code to unlock the bin.
Copy !req
304. Uh... I think we transmitted that
to you already.
Copy !req
305. Let's get out of here, Trace.
Copy !req
306. Where is the spice?
Copy !req
307. What? I don't believe it.
Copy !req
308. Kessel must have double-crossed you.
Well, that's really unfortunate.
Copy !req
309. I want patrol ships to cut them off.
Engage the tractor beam.
Copy !req
310. You better get us out of here now.
Copy !req
311. Patrol ships.
Copy !req
312. They won't be able to keep up.
Copy !req
313. What was that?
Copy !req
314. That is a tractor beam, Rafa.
Copy !req
315. Just so you know,
when they interrogate me,
Copy !req
316. I'm blaming the whole thing on you.
Copy !req
317. Between the three of us,
there's plenty of blame to go around.
Copy !req
