Andor

Dedra Meero.

She's focused on a suspect she's calling Axis.

She thinks he's building a rebel network.

She started looking into stolen Imperial Naval equipment.

Dedra Meero.

I can't do this anymore.

We took a vow.

I'm giving you Dedra Meero.

I'm giving you Spellhaus.

I'm warning you about Ferrix. I'm honoring my vow.

We can't let you go, Lonni.

We can't spare you.

I need all the heroes I can get.

And what about Axis?

You've invested almost two years.

You've built the legend and delivered almost nothing.

Next time, catch them first.

Then make them famous.

You've stayed here long enough.

I'm not finished yet.

They're gonna find you, Luthen!

You act as if we had a choice.

Eventually, they'll hang us both.

We set that course the first time we met.

Lonni.

They're almost here.

I'm walking away.

Do as I say.

Supervisor Heert.

- Yes, sir. - The Axis desk,

I notice you've taken an interest in this seizure.

The weapons, sir. There are some pieces

that appear to have come from the Axis supply chain.

You've had that ten days?

It's my desk now, Dedra.

Do you really think I care about how it happens?

You can have all the glory.

Has it ever crossed your mind that Partagaz put me on Axis

because I don't seek glory?

Partagaz was gonna chew his way through Lagret and eat me for fun.

I don't know what I was thinking.

How do I repay you?

Dedra Meero is running Ghorman.

I doubt there's three people in the building

that know what I've just told you.

And Meero. Why? She's a hunter, not a spin doctor.

- Maybe she's oversight. - Of what?

A smear campaign is an opening move, not an endgame.

I need the endgame!

I can't keep track anymore!

All these lines we've laid. All this information.

The radios, the frequencies, the messages flying around!

We're drowning.

And you keep pretending it's all under control.

Tell me you're ready.

We'll meet at the old steps.

There was construction the last time I went through.

We don't have time for alternatives. Keep your distance.

I will if you will.

Look, going like this is risky enough.

Just promise me if it doesn't look perfect,

you won't engage.

I think we used up all the perfect.

Move.

Tuck your shirt in.

You came.

You rang the big bell.

I always wondered if it would work.

Dedra Meero contacted a friend of mine in Tactical last night.

She's looking for a team to be put together

for an operation in Coruscant.

I think she's coming for you.

Why would your friend tell you this?

Meero is always bending the rules.

He wanted to know if I thought it was safe to comply.

And you're not sure?

So call him back and find out.

I can't.

I'm burned.

They'll be on me soon enough.

I had to make a decision.

What have you done?

I figured it out.

Everything.

I know what we've been chasing.

But first, we talk about safety.

Promises were made.

I have my wife and my daughter tucked away for the moment,

but I need you to tell me how you're gonna get us out of Coruscant.

Tell me what you've done.

I have had Dedra Meero's code cert for a year now.

Total access.

Her private storage.

I knew if I told you, you'd push me to use it.

But if she's onto you...

It had to be done.

- You went into her files? - I had a two-hour window.

And you still don't know if she's coming after me or not?

I didn't have time.

Because I found something more critical.

Something huge.

So, now we're bargaining?

I wasn't followed.

Because if they knew what I found,

they wouldn't have let me out of the building.

I need safe passage, Luthen. I need it today.

Obviously.

Where? Where do we go?

It depends. There's fast and there's good.

How much time do we have? How hard will they come?

They'll come at this with everything they've got.

Assume they're coming now.

Then there's no time to play games.

I need to know what we're talking about.

You're not the only one who'll be running.

We're in this together.

I need details.

What are we up against?

The Emperor's energy program is a lie.

All of it.

The rebellion on Ghorman? It was a front from the start.

A cover to strip-mine the planet for some mineral that they need.

They're not looking for Partisans on Jedha, they need kyber crystals.

The crackdowns. The Public Order. The labor camps. Scarif.

- Fronting for what? - A weapon.

Orson Krennic's been building a secret weapon for over a decade.

Colonel Yularen wasn't even told until a month ago.

- What kind of weapon? - Where will you take us?

Yavin.

What is that?

We'll be safe there.

As safe as we can be.

Yavin?

Tell me about the weapon.

That's a good boy.

Want to go for a run?

There.

Pix! Come here, boy!

Come here!

Ghorman. Scarif. Kyber. Krennic. Erso.

Galen Erso. Galen.

Engineer Galen Erso.

Super weapon. Based in Scarif. Fuel from Ghorman.

Kyber from Jedha. ISB Krennic. Galen Erso.

And you know where to go?

No.

No, no. I'm doing the comms--

No, you're not.

- I'll be faster. - I'll do the burn.

- Luthen... - Please don't argue.

Just be waiting for me.

Just be there.

Go.

You're open.

Please. Join us.

I've passed by here many times.

I've always wanted to come in.

- And here you are at last. - Hmm.

Luthen Rael.

Dedra Meero.

So... calm here.

Peaceful.

Can I tell you how much

it pleases me to hear that?

Is everything real?

Ah, what a wise question.

Forgery is the sad curse of antiquities.

At the moment, only two pieces of questionable provenance in the gallery.

Any guesses?

Have a look.

They thought this was a fake.

What is it?

It's a Nautolan bleeder.

Sixty centuries old.

Probably ceremonial.

Only three others have ever been found.

And?

Is it real?

We still don't know. The tension mounts.

All these pieces, do you own them all yourself?

Most of it.

I have a few items on consignment.

Well, in that case, I may have something for you.

Oh!

It would have to be stunning.

Now I'm nervous.

What if it's not?

Not what?

"Stunning."

You've come all this way.

A vintage Imperial Starpath unit.

What do you think?

A little damaged, perhaps...

But I'd say it's held its value.

I have dreamt of this.

Too many versions to remember.

And here you were... all that time,

hiding in the shelter of Imperial peace and quiet.

And I've known you all along. Hardly seems fair.

You disgust me.
