Andor

So, searching for a more fluid banking situation, are we?

What will it cost?

I have a 14-year-old son.

I'd like to bring him with me.

- I'm not asking for betrothal. - Then what are we talking about?

An introduction.

Your daughter is 13. She'll soon come of age.

Two young people.

Attractive and privileged Chandrilan citizens.

What makes you think I approve of that tradition?

Our position sometimes makes decisions for us, don't you find?

I'm only here for another couple of days.

Maybe you'd like to join me.

I'm not sure my husband would approve.

Is he here?

You can stop right there!

You got 15 blasters pointed at you right now!

Does he worry about you?

In what way?

We've just shut down all the comms.

We freeze the zone during an audit.

It's supposed to stop things sneaking away while we're doing all our counting.

Nothing.

Radio silence. Nobody's checked in.

I need to be at the gallery.

I can't help anyone from here. I need serious comms.

Is that everything?

I was sure if I went shopping, you'd be delayed,

and we wouldn't have to do this.

No such luck.

We could... pretend that you're not back.

I have concerns. The Foundation is up and running.

Your financial blemishes have been smoothed over

without anyone being the wiser.

Davo Sculdun obviously has what he came for.

Everyone seems quite pleased with how they've landed,

and I'm left wondering about the risk I've taken on.

It's very troubling.

We'll find a number.

Is there any chance he'd go to Sculdun?

No, he wouldn't dare.

He can't.

Let your weapon fall.

He's out! He's getting away!

Come on!

Bring it down!

G-G-Go! We're g-getting away!

- They'll never catch us now. - He's coming back!

Behind you, Bee.

C-C-Clear the way.

Thank you.

Look out.

Here she comes.

Mmm. There's a place right here.

Yeah. Pay him no mind, Talia.

Some of us haven't had seconds yet.

Some of us need more than others.

All your whinin'.

Like you don't all eat your fill every time you sit down.

And, uh, who's helping me bring all that's left back up the mound tonight?

Oh, I think we have a volunteer.

Be back in a minute. Keep an eye on my bowl, would you?

No guarantee.

Sorry, I tried to get here earlier, but...

You've got a lot going on.

Still no Cassian?

I got the call from Six Hundred this morning.

I wish I had better news.

We're next on the inspection schedule.

How soon?

They finished there today, so...

tomorrow?

- Are they checking visas? - It's random.

They found a group hiding last night in Six Hundred.

Sometimes, they walk right by.

It's a big risk.

Where can we go?

This is the best I could do.

It's an Emergency Work Order for the Eight Hundred Block.

Three sweepers that need fixing.

You head out tonight, wait till they finish poking around here,

then circle back 'round in a few days.

Is it legit?

I had to change the date.

You only use it tonight if you got stopped.

Sorry about this, Kellen.

- You've been a savior. - Please.

You know Cassian's friend?

The big boss?

If you do and don't want to say so, that's fine.

But someone needs to tell him what's going on here.

It's going on everywhere.

Why can't they just leave us in peace?

Keep your head down.

Ah.

I was getting worried.

My gown got snagged.

Oh, no. Is it all right?

I think I stopped in time.

It's fine.

Really is.

Are you nervous?

Of course I'm nervous.

I was awake all night worrying about you.

Are they all out there?

They can wait.

My mother was drunk when I got married.

This room.

Right here.

Just like this.

I was so angry, I don't think I ever forgave her.

But I could never understand why she'd done it until just now.

What are you doing?

I need to tell you

what my mother never told me.

Look at me.

Nothing on the other side of that door matters.

Not the guests, not the gifts, not the... trouble that's gone into it,

none of it matters.

Money, embarrassment, pressure...

Wha... What are you saying?

We can walk out there right now,

tell them all to have a lovely afternoon,

but that it's not yet time for a marriage.

We can put it off.

And it will be remembered as an act of great bravery,

I promise you.

You do not have to go through with this.

I wish you were drunk.

Wait.

You're to stand behind me.

- Mother. - Hello.

Hello.

Oh.

Hmm.

Um, Mother...

this is Dedra.

Eedy, please.

It's such a pleasure to finally meet you.

Finally, indeed.

My word! It's a palace.

Thank you. It's home.

You look nothing like what I expected.

Here, let me... get your coat.

Ah!

How refreshing.

One longs for courtesy, don't you think?

Yes, absolutely.

And there is so little of it.

What can I get you to drink?

Don't you wonder what I thought you'd look like?

I'm afraid to ask.

Do you have spiced tea?

- Since when are you drinking spiced tea? - "When?"

I see you so rarely.

Are we not allowed to change?

Well, we don't have spiced tea.

Uh...

They're still open downstairs.

Syril, please, no.

No. I'll have what you're having.

There's a shop in the arcade.

No, please.

I did not come all this way to see Syril disappear again.

Show me your wonderful home.

Coruscant Forecast 2665, clearing open signal.

Please identify and repeat.

I need a weather report.

What's your location?

I'm in transit.

And where's our freighter? We've had no word from the relay pilot.

You won't be hearing from him.

It's just me. I... I'm calling you from the freighter.

Let's start over. What's your location?

This is not the ship I was trained to fly. Did you know that?

Did anyone know that?

I can't fly the ship. The drop is compromised.

I've been upside down for two days!

Find me someplace safe. And dry.

Let me work on that, keep this signal open.

- I need to call home. - No.

Don't do that.

Come again?

It's very crowded there right now.

What does that mean?

Just give me a few minutes.

Why can't I call home?

You won't get through, there's a frequency blockade.

What's going on there?

I don't know, which is why I'm telling you to keep the signal open and--

Children have so much to teach us.

It's a lesson that never ends.

Syril's imagination had always fascinated me.

- Mother, you're dripping. - It's fine.

I suppose we're fascinated by the things we don't understand.

Now, Syril's father fancied himself an adventurer.

It was an expensive delusion.

One day, suddenly, he was gone.

And all we had was each other.

A young, delicate boy with only a mother's love and determination.
