male announcer: Diplomacy or
Deception?
The council of neutral systems
Speaks for over 1,500 worlds who
Want to stay out of the war.
But rumors have reached the
Republic senate, suggesting that
The council's new leader,
Duchess satine of mandalore,
Is secretly building her own
Army to fight for the
Separatist cause.
Now jedi master obi-wan kenobi
Has been sent to mandalore to
Discover the truth behind
These claims.
[engine whooshing]
the duchess awaits you,
General kenobi.
far be it for me to keep the
Duchess waiting.
[engines humming]
[doors creaking]
general kenobi.
thank you for meeting with
Me, prime minister almec.
I welcome you as a servant of
The people, but I am troubled by
The false rumors that brought
You here.
Mandalore would never turn
Against the republic.
The duchess satine values peace
More than her own life.
oh, I'm aware of the
Duchess' views.
master kenobi, mandalore's
Violent past is behind us.
All of our warriors were exiled
To our moon, concordia.
They died out years ago.
hmm.
Are you certain?
I recently encountered a man who
Wore mandalorian armor,
Jango fett.
jango fett was a common
Bounty hunter.
How he acquired that armor is
Beyond me.
well, master kenobi,
My shining jedi knight to the
Rescue once again.
[strange shimmering noise]
after all these years, you're
Even more beautiful than ever.
kind words from a man who
Accuses me of treachery.
I would never accuse you of
Personal wrongdoing, duchess.
However, a separatist saboteur
Attacked one of our
Republic cruisers,
A mandalorian saboteur.
[blaster firing]
you must be mistaken.
No mandalorian would engage in
Such violence.
Not anymore.
Where is this prisoner now?
he took his own life rather
Than submit to questioning.
I know these commandos fought in
Many wars, often against
The jedi.
every one of my people is as
Trustworthy as I am.
I know we sound
Defensive, but--
clearly your investigation
Was ordered because the senate
Is eager to intervene in
Our affairs.
my investigation was ordered
By the jedi council.
I stand corrected.
General kenobi, perhaps you'd
Like to join me on a walk
Through the city.
[engines whooshing]
It's so good to see you again,
Obi-wan, despite
The circumstances.
your peaceful ways have
Paid off.
Mandalore has prospered since
The last time I was here.
not everyone on mandalore
Believes that our commitment to
Peace is a sign of progress.
There is a group that calls
Itself death watch.
I imagine these are the
Renegades you're looking for.
They idolize violence and the
Warrior ways of the past.
There are those among us,
Certain officials who are
Working to root out
These criminals.
It has been an
Ongoing investigation.
how widespread is this
Death watch movement?
it's hardly a movement.
It's a small group of hooligans
Who choose to vandalize public
Places, nothing more.
We shall soon have them
In custody.
We have tracked them down to our
Moon, concordia.
I hope you're right, duchess.
I do not understand why the
Arrival of this jedi doesn't
Upset you.
You promised to support the
Death watch forces so we could
Overthrow the duchess satine and
Her weak peace-loving
Government.
and I intend to keep
My promise.
but how?
If the republic interferes now,
Death watch will not be able to
Take over the planet.
consider:
Once the senate orders
Peacekeeping troops to
Mandalore, the people will be
Surrounded by
A military presence.
Most distasteful.
They will rebel.
and rally to death watch.
Our insurgency will
Grow stronger.
yes, and duchess satine
Shall fall.
a peacekeeper belongs on the
Front lines of conflict.
Otherwise, he wouldn't be able
To do his job.
the work of a peacekeeper is
To make sure that conflict does
Not arise.
yes, a noble description,
But not a realistic one.
is reality what makes a jedi
Abandon his ideals?
Or is it simply a response to
Political convenience?
[explosion]
[people scaming]
are you all right?
I'm fine.
[people screaming]
hooligans couldn't have
Arranged an attack of
This scale.
then this must be the work of
An off-worlder.
are you sure of that?
the sign of the death watch.
this goes far
Beyond vandalism.
This is a political statement
Against your government
And against you.
You're not safe here.
I'm taking you back to
The palace.
I want to interview
Everyone here.
Nobody leaves this scene.
[people shout]
You there!
I only want to talk.
[blaster firing]
[lightsaber humming]
I don't want to hurt you.
Stay back!

Dralshye'ran!
Thud!

Darasuum kote.
what is he saying?
kadi, se norm'iim.
ki, kadi norm'iim.
He was speaking in the dialect
They use on concordia, our moon.
I shall like to visit this
Moon of yours.
Perhaps I could accompany
The body.
the concordian moon is a
Provence with its own governor.
You'll need me to escort you.
that won't be necessary.
actually, it will.
You won't make much progress
Without me there, especially
Since you've just been involved
With the death of a concordian.
I didn't kill him.
I know.
That's why I'm still talking
To you.
I thought concordia was an
Agricultural settlement.
before the end of our wars,
They turned it into
A mining base.
The sheer number of mining
Facilities here nearly destroyed
Our forests.
They're finally growing back.
[spacecraft humming]
duchess satine, you are
Most welcome.
thank you, governor vizsla.
May I present master
Obi-wan kenobi, representing the
Jedi council.
Governor vizsla is one of the
Officials I spoke of.
He has been working to find the
Members of the death watch.
I take it you've heard the
Rumors about satine, about how
She's supposedly leading
Mandalore into an alliance with
The separatists.
my only instructions are to
Seek the truth.
this was the man who bombed
The memorial shrine?
yes.
He was apparently part of
Death watch.
a worrisome prospect.
If you'll pardon me, general,
We must attend to the body.
I need a favor from you.
Please keep governor vizsla
Occupied at dinner.
where are you going?
I'd like to see one of these
Mining facilities for myself.
you mean you want to
Determine if they're still
Operational.
I hope to determine
They're not.
I want you to wear this earpiece
So that we can stay in contact,
In case you run into trouble
While I'm gone.
remember that you are here
Under my protection.
Please try not to cause problems
Where none yet exist.
think of me as searching
For solutions.
I have to tell you I'm
Opposed to all of this.
I'd be disappointed if
You weren't.
[engine humming]
[engine shrieking]
[computer beeping]
forgive me, duchess.
I'm writing a condolence letter
To the dead man's family and
Making arrangements for them to
Retrieve his body.
of course, governor.
Very proper.
General kenobi will join
Us shortly.
He said he needed to meditate.

[man screams]
[lightsaber humming]
I am here on a
Diplomatic mission under the
Protection of duchess satine.
we do nwt recognize her rule.
[blaster firing]
[grunting]
Thud!
someone is feeding
Misinformation directly to the
Republic senate, saying that
The death watch is taking
Over mandalore.
Who stands to gain from
These lies?
death watch, of course.
they could not engineer
All this.
The problem has clearly grown
Much larger than we thought.
And I suspect some external
hard to believe.
It would have to be someone
At the highest level of
Influence among the separatists.
but why target me?
you lead the council of
Neutral systems.
Thus, you threaten the
Separatists' goals.
Take it as a compliment.
Someone very powerful is working
Towards your downfall.

The area and check for any
Other jedi until he arrives.
this one's harmless enough
Without his lightsaber.
The boss will love this.

[beeping]
general kenobi's meditation
Is taking a rather long time.
you know the jedi.
They never do anything
By halves.
duchess, please acknowledge.
may I offer you
Another drink?
yes, certainly.
I'm in a bit of an
Awkward spot.
I'm being held by the
Death watch.
sorry, duchess.
We're out of ice.
sorry to hear that.
perhaps we should begin
Dinner without general kenobi.
there's a tracking function
On your comlink.
Follow it due east to
My location.
I don't know if I can do that
At the moment.
it's extremely urgent.
are you not feeling
Well, duchess?
perhaps some fresh air would
Do me good.
shall I escort you outside?
take a speeder.
It's rough terrain.
oh, I'll find my way.
Never fear.
[engine humming]
[beeping]
yes, sir.
Start the machine.
Time for the jedi to meet with
His fatal accident.

[machinery clanking]
this is not good.
[gears rumbling]
where exactly are you?
listen for the loud metallic
Clanging sound.
That would be the machine about
To smash me into bits.
[computer beeping]
[alarm blaring]
there's some kind of
Disturbance at the entrance.
Let's check it out.
well, it certainly took you
Long enough.
you know, I haven't saved
You yet.
yes, no need to remind me
Of that.
be patient.
I happen to be a bit short on
Patience right now.
now, let's see.
One of these.
satine, turn the machine off!
I'm trying.
satine!
[machinery thudding]
there!
[beeps]
look out!
[gears whirring]
[metallic grinding]
[grunting]
for a man sworn to peace, you
Take an unseemly pleasure in the
Injuries of others.
for a woman sworn to
Nonviolence, you don't seem
Troubled that I could have been
Killed back there.
but you weren't.
And yet I still haven't heard
Any thanks.
well, you certainly haven't
Changed much.
[door whooshes]
[metallic clanking]
This is not the way we came in.
look there.
It's the jedi.
[buzzer sounding]
[blasters firing]
we'll have to stand
And fight.
Or in your case, just stand.
you three, stop him.
[blasters firing]
[explosion]
[grunting]
you there.
[blaster firing]
satine!
I'm all right.
I'll deal with this.
Get to your ships and evacuate.
[engines humming]
Failure.

for generations my ancestors
Fought proudly as warriors
Against the jedi.
Now that woman tarnishes the
Very name mandalorian.
Defend her if you will.
[lightsaber humming]
This lightsaber was stolen from
Your jedi temple by my
Ancestors during the fall of
The old republic.
Since then, many jedi have died
Upon its blade.
Prepare yourself to join them.
Huah!
[lightsabers crashing]
[grunting]
Huah!

Huah!

[rockets whistling]
[explosion]
should we go after him, sir?
no.
There's no time.
Don't worry.
We'll catch up with the duchess
Soon enough.
I suppose we're even now.
ah.
How so?
I saved your life.
You saved mine.
yes, well,
Mine was the more daring of the
Two rescues.
[clicks tongue]
[engines humming]
but if pre vizsla fled, we
Have no way of learning how
Widespread death watch
Really is.
it's obvious the separatists
Are supporting the death watch.
I disagree.
I told you I wanted to stay out
Of this conflict.
given the current situation,
I'm afraid that may no longer
Be possible.
I thought you of all people
Would understand my position on
This matter.
I will never be a part of
This war.

Duty, general.
oh, anakin.
Am I glad to see you.
hmm.
You sound tired.

Locals wore me out a bit.
