Lock onto them, Artoo.
Master, General Grievous's ship is directly ahead.
The one crawling with vulture droids.
Oh. I see it. Oh, this is going to be easy.
- Odd Ball, do you copy? - Copy, Red Leader.
Mark my position and form your squad up behind me...
We're on your tail, General Kenobi.
Set S-foils in attack position.
This is where the fun begins.
Let them pass between us.
There are too many of them.
Ire por Mault
No, no! They are doing their job so we can do ours.
Missiles! Pull up!
They overshot us...
They're coming around!
All right, Arfour. No, no. Nothing too fancy.
Surge all power units. Artoo! Stand by the reverse thrusters.
We got 'em. Artoo!
Flying is for droids.
I'm hit! Anakin?
I see them... Buzz Droids.
Arfour, be careful. You have one...
Oh dear.
They're shutting down all the controls.
Move to the right so I can get a clear shot at them.
The mission. Get to the Command Ship. Get the Chancellor!
I'm running out of tricks here.
In the name of...
Hold your fire! You're not helping here.
I agree, bad idea.
I can't see a thing! My cockpit's fogging.
They're all over me, Anakin.
- Move to the right. - Hold on, Anakin.
You're going to get us both killed!
Get out of here. There's nothing more you can do.
I'm not leaving without you, Master.
Get 'em, Artoo.
Watch out!
Artoo, hit the buzz droid's center eye.
- Yeah, you got him! - Great, Artoo.
the General's Command Ship is dead ahead.
Have you noticed the shields are still up?
Oh?!? Sorry, Master.
Oh, I have a bad feeling about this.
Artoo, locate the Chancellor.
The Chancellor's signal is coming from right there.
The observation platform at the top of that spire.
I sense Count Dooku...
I sense a trap.
Next move?
Spring the trap.
- Artoo, go back. - I need you to stay with the ship. - Here, take this, and wait for orders.
What's the situation, Captain?
TWO Jedi have landed in the main hangar bay.
Los estamos rastreando
Just as Count Dooku predicted.
Destroyers!!
Drop your weapons! I said drop 'em.
Those're Jedi fighters, all right.
Did you press the stop button?
- No, did you? - No!
Well, there's more than one way out of here.
We don't want to get out, we want to get moving. Artoo...
Activate elevator 31174
What's that?
Artoo. Do you copy?
Artoo. Activate the elevator number... 31174
Get back to work. It's nothing.
Always on the move.
Artoo, switch on the comlink.
Stop, stop! Artoo, we need to be going up.
Hands up, Jedi!
Artoo. Do you copy?
Artoo, do you hear me? Artoo, we need to be going up, not down.
Hey you!
Now, that's better...
You stupid little astro droid!
Oh, it's you...
- What was that all about? - Well, Artoo has been...
No loose wire jokes...
- Did I say anything? - He's trying!
I didn't say anything!
- Chancellor. - Are you all right?
Count Dooku.
This time we will do it together.
I was about to say that.
Get help! You're no match for him. He's a Sith Lord.
Chancellor Palpatine, Sith Lords are our specialty.
Your swords, please. We don't want to make a mess of things in front of the Chancellor.
You won't get away this time, Dooku.
I've been looking forward to this.
My powers have doubled since the last time we met, Count.
Good. Twice the pride, double the fall.
I sense great fear in you, Skywalker.
You have hate,
you have anger,
but you don�t use them.
Good, Anakin, good.
Kill him.
Kill him now!
I shouldn't...
Do it!!
You did well, Anakin.
He was too dangerous to be kept alive.
Yes, but he was an unarmed prisoner.
I shouldn't have done that. It's not the Jedi way.
It is only natural. He cut off your arm, and you wanted revenge.
It wasn't the first time, Anakin.
Remember what you told me about your mother
and the Sand People.
Now, we must leave before more security droids arrive.
Anakin, there is no time. We must get off the ship before it's too late.
He seems to be all right.
Leave him, or we'll never make it.
His fate will be the same as ours.
Prepare for attack.
All batteries fire! Fire!
The elevator's not working,
Artoo. Activate Elevator 3224.
Reverse stabilizers.
Magnetize! Magnetize!
Fire the emergency booster engines.
Leveling out, sir.
Easy... We're in a bit of a situation.
- Did I miss something? - Hold on.
What is that?
Artoo, Artoo, shut down the elevator!
Too late! Jump!
Let's see if we can find something in the hangar bay that's still flyable.
Artoo, get down here.
Artoo, do you copy?
General, we found the Jedi. They're in hallway 328.
Activate ray shields.
Ray shields!
Wait a minute, how'd this happen! We're smarter than this.
Apparently not.
- I say... patience. - Patience!
Yes, Artoo will be along in a few moments and
he'll release the ray shields.
See! No problem.
Don't move!
Do you have a plan B?
Oh yes. The Negotiator.
General Kenobi. We've been waiting for you.
That wasn't much of a rescue.
You're welcome.
And Anakin Skywalker...
I was expecting someone with your reputation to be a little
older.
General Grievous. You're shorter than I expected.
Jedi scum...
We have a job to do, Anakin. Try not to upset him.
Your lightsabers will make a fine addition to my collection.
Not this time. And this time you won't escape.
Artoo.
Crush them!
Make them suffer!
Stay and watch your stations.
Don't bother with them. Keep the ship in orbit.
You lose, General Kenobi.
Time to abandon ship.
All the escape pods have been launched.
Grievous.
Can you fly a cruiser like this?
You mean, do I know how to land what's left of this thing?
Well?
Under the circumstances, I'd say the ability to pilot this thing is irrelevant.
Strap yourselves in.
Open all hatches, extend all flaps, and drag fins.
We lost something.
Not to worry, we're still flying half the ship.
Now we're really picking up speed...
Eight plus sixty.
we're in the atmosphere. Grab that... Keep us level.
Steady.
Easy, Artoo.
Five thousand... Fireships on the left and the right.
We'll take you in. Copy that.
Landing strip's straight ahead.
We're coming in too hot.
Another happy landing.
Are you coming, Master?
Oh no. I'm not brave enough for politics.
I have to report to the Council.
Besides, someone needs to be the poster boy.
Hold on, this whole operation was your idea.
Let us not forget Anakin that you rescued me from the Buzz Droids.
And you killed Count Dooku. And you rescued the Chancellor, carrying me unconscious on your back,
All because of your training, Master.
Anakin, let's be fair. Today, you are the hero
and you deserve your glorious day with the politicians.
All right. But you owe me... and not for saving your skin for the tenth time.
Ninth time...
that business on Cato Nemoidia doesn't count.
I'll see you at the briefing.
Chancellor Palpatine, Are you all right?
Yes, thanks to your two Jedi Knights. They killed Count Dooku,
but General Grievous has escaped once again.
General Grievous will run and hide as he always does. He is a coward.
but with Count Dooku dead, he is the leader of the Droid Army,
and I assure you, the Senate will vote to continue the war as long as Grievous is alive.
Then the Jedi Council will make finding Grievous our highest priority.
The Republic cannot praise you enough.
Thank you, Senator Organa.
Well, it couldn't possibly be as bad as all that.
Well, there, I agree with you.
In fact, I could do with a tune-up myself.
but the fighting is going to continue until General Grievous is spare parts...
Well, I'll do everything I can with the Senate.
Excuse me. Certainly.
Oh, Anakin!
I missed you, Padme.
There were whispers... that you'd been killed.
I'm all right.
It feels like we've been apart for a lifetime.
And it might have been... If the Chancellor hadn't been kidnapped.
I don't think they would have ever brought us back from the Outer Rim sieges.
- Wait, not here... - Yes, here!
I'm tired of all this deception. I don't care if they know we're married.
Anakin, don't say things like that.
Are you all right?
You're trembling. What's going on?
Something wonderful has happened.
Annie, I'm pregnant.
That's...
that's wonderful.
What are we going to do?
We're not going to worry about anything right now,
all right?
This is a happy moment.
The happiest moment of my life.
Yes, Lord Sidious.
General Grievous,
I suggest you move the Separatist leaders to Mustafar.
It will be done, My Lord.
The end of the war is near, General.
But the loss of Count Dooku?
His death was a necessary loss.
Soon I will have a new apprentice...
one far younger and more powerful.
Annie, I want to have our baby back home on Naboo.
We could go to the lake country where no one would know
where we would be safe.
I could go early-and fix up the baby's room.
I know the perfect spot,
right by the gardens.
You are so
beautiful!
It's only because I'm so in love...
No, it's because I'm so in love with you.
So love has blinded you?
Well, that's not exactly what I meant...
But it's probably true!
Anakin, help me!
What's bothering you?
Nothing...
I remember when I gave this to you.
How long is it going to take for us to be honest with each other?
It was a dream.
Bad?
Like the ones I used to have about my mother
just before she died.
And?
It was about you.
Tell me.
It was only a dream.
You die in childbirth...
And the baby?
I don't know.
- It was only a dream. - I won't let this one become real.
this baby will change our lives.
I doubt the Queen will continue to allow me to serve in the Senate,
and if the Council discovers you are the father, you will be expelled...
I know... I know.
do you think Obi-Wan might be able to help us?
I don't need his help...
Our baby is a blessing.
Premonitions? premonitions...
Hmmmm... these visions you have...
They are of pain,
suffering,
death...
Yourself you speak of, or someone you know?
Someone...
close to you?
Yes.
Yourself you speak of, or someone you know?
Someone...
close to you?
Yes.
Careful you must be when sensing the future, Anakin.
The fear of loss is a path to the dark side.
I won't let these visions come true, Master Yoda.
Death is a natural part of life.
Rejoice for those around you who transform into the Force.
Mourn them, do not. Miss them, do not.
Attachment leads to jealousy.
The shadow of greed, that is.
What must I do, Master Yoda?
Train yourself to let go
of everything you fear to lose.
You missed the report on the Outer Rim sieges.
I'm sorry, I was held up.
I have no excuse.
In short, they are going very well.
Saleucami has fallen,
and Master Vos has moved his troops to Boz Pity.
What's wrong then?
The Senate is expected to vote more executive powers to the Chancellor today.
Well, that can only mean less deliberating and more action.
Is that bad?
It will make it easier for us to end this war.
Be careful of your friend Palpatine.
Be careful of what?
He has requested your presence.
What for?
He would not say.
He didn't inform the Jedi Council?
That's unusual, isn't it?
All of this is unusual,
and it's making me feel uneasy.
I hope you trust me, Anakin.
Of course.
I need your help, son.
What do you mean?
I'm depending on you.
For what? I don't understand.
To be the eyes,
ears,
and voice of the Republic...
Anakin...
I'm appointing you to be my personal representative on the Jedi Council.
Me?
A Master?
I am overwhelmed, sir,
but the Council elects its own members. They will never accept this.
I think they will...
they need you
more than you know.
Allow this appointment lightly,
the Council does not.
Disturbing is this move by Chancellor Palpatine.
I understand.
You are on this Council,
but we do not grant you the rank of Master.
What?!
How can you do this??
This is outrageous,
it's unfair...
How can you be on the Council and not be a Master?
Take a seat, young Skywalker.
Forgive me, Master.
We have surveyed all systems in the Republic, and have found no sign of General Grievous.
Hiding in the Outer Rim, Grievous is.
The outlying systems, you must sweep.
we do not have many ships to spare.
What about the droid attack on the Wookiees?
It is critical we send an attack group there, immediately!
He's right,
that is a system we cannot afford to lose.
Go, I will.
Good relations with the Wookiees, I have.
It is settled then.
Yoda will take a battalion of clones to reinforce the Wookiees on Kashyyyk.
May the Force be with us all.
What kind of nonsense is this,
put me on the Council and not make me a Master!??
That's never been done in the history of the Jedi. It's insulting! Calm down, Anakin. You have been given a great honor.
To be on the Council at your age. It's never happened before.
The fact of the matter is you're too close to the Chancellor.
The Council doesn't like it when he interferes in Jedi affairs.
I swear to you, I didn't ask to be put on the Council...
But it's what you wanted!
Your friendship with Chancellor Palpatine seems to have paid off.
That has nothing to do with this.
The only reason the Council has approved your appointment is because the Chancellor trusts you.
And?
Anakin, I am on your side. I didn't want to put you in this situation.
What situation?
The Council wants you to report on all of the Chancellor's dealings.
They want to know what he's up to.
They want me to spy on the Chancellor?
- That's treason! - We are at war, Anakin.
Why didn't the Council give me this assignment when we were in session?
This assignment is not to be on record.
The Chancellor is not a bad man, Obi-Wan.
He befriended me. He's watched out for me ever since I arrived here.
That is why you must help us, Anakin.
Anakin. Our allegiance is to the Senate, not to its leader who has managed to stay in office long after his term has expired.
the Senate demanded that he stay longer.
Yes, but use your feelings, Anakin. Something is out of place.
You're asking me to do something against the Jedi Code.
Against the Republic.
Against a mentor... and a friend. That's what's out of place here.
Why are you asking this of me?
The Council is asking you.
Anakin did not take to his assignment with much enthusiasm.
It's very dangerous, putting them together.
I don't think the boy can handle it.
I don't trust him.
With all due respect, Master, is he not the Chosen One?
Is he not to destroy the Sith and bring balance to the Force?
So the prophecy says.
A prophecy...
that misread could have been.
He will not let me down.
He never has.
I hope right you are.
Sometimes, I wonder what's happening to the Jedi Order...
I think this war is destroying the principles of the Republic.
Have you ever considered that we may be on the wrong side?
What do you mean?
What if the democracy we thought we were serving no longer exists,
and the Republic has become the very evil we have been fighting to destroy?
I don't believe that.
And you're sounding like a Separatist!
This war represents a failure to listen.
Now, you're closer to the Chancellor than anyone. please ask him to stop the fighting and let diplomacy resume.
Don't ask me to do that.
Make a motion in the Senate, where that kind of a request belongs.
What is it?
Nothing.
Don't do this...
don't shut me out. Let me help you.
Hold me...
like you did by the lake on Naboo,
so long ago... when there was nothing but our love...
No politics, no plotting... no war.
You wanted to see me, Chancellor.
Yes, Anakin! Come closer. I have good news.
Our Clone Intelligence Units have discovered the location of General Grievous.
He is hiding in the Utapau system.
At last,
we'll be able to capture that monster and end this war.
I would worry about the collective wisdom of the Council if they didn't select you for this assignment.
You are the best choice...
by far
Sit down.
Leave us.
Anakin,
you know I'm not able to rely on the Jedi Council.
If they haven't included you in their plot,
they soon will.
I'm not sure I understand.
You must sense what I have come to suspect...
the Jedi Council want control of the Republic...
they're planning to betray me.
- I don't think... - Anakin,
search your feelings.
You know,
don't you?
I know they don't trust you...
Or the Senate...
or the Republic...
or democracy for that matter.
I have to admit
my trust in them has been shaken.
Why?
They asked you to do something that made you feel dishonest, didn't they?
They asked you to spy on me, didn't they?
I don't know...
I don't know what to say.
Remember back to your early teachings.
"All those who gain power are afraid to lose it."
Even the Jedi.
The Jedi use their power for good.
Good is a point of view, Anakin.
The Sith and the Jedi are similar in almost every way,
including their quest for greater power.
The Sith rely on their passion for their strength.
They think inward, only about themselves.
And the Jedi don't?
The Jedi are selfless... They only care about others.
Did you ever hear the tragedy of Darth Plagueis "the wise"?
No.
I thought not.
It's not a story the Jedi would tell you.
It's a Sith legend.
Darth Plagueis was a Dark Lord of the Sith,
so powerful and so wise
he could use the Force to influence the midi-chlorians to create life...
He had such a knowledge of the dark side
that he could even keep the ones he cared about from dying.
He could actually
save people from death?
The dark side of the Force is a pathway
to many abilities some consider to be unnatural.
What happened to him?
He became so powerful...
the only thing he was afraid of was
losing his power, which eventually, of course, he did.
Unfortunately,
he taught his apprentice everything he knew,
then his apprentice killed him in his sleep.
It's ironic...
he could save others from death,
but not himself.
Is it possible to learn this power?
Not from a Jedi.
Palpatine thinks General Grievous is on Utapau.
A partial message was intercepted in a diplomatic packet from the Chairman of Utapau.
Act on this, we must.
The capture of General Grievous will end this war.
Quickly and decisively we should proceed.
The Chancellor has requested
that I lead the campaign.
The Council will make up its own mind who is to go,
not the Chancellor.
A Master is needed, with more experience.
I concur. Master Kenobi should go.
I agree.
- I. - I.
Very well. Council is adjourned.
The droids have started up their main power generators.
Then now the time is, Commander.
Yes, sir.
You're going to need me on this one, Master.
Oh, I agree. However it may turn out just to be a wild bantha chase.
Master!
I've disappointed you.
I have not been very appreciative of your training...
I have been arrogant...
and I apologize...
I've just been so frustrated with the Council.
You are strong and wise, Anakin, and I am very proud of you.
I have trained you since you were a small boy.
I have taught you everything I know.
And you have become a far greater Jedi than I could ever hope to be.
But be patient, Anakin.
It won't be long before the Council makes you a Jedi Master.
Obi-Wan,
may the Force be with you.
Good-bye, old friend.
May the Force be with you.
Fortunately, most of the cities are concentrated on this small continent here...
on the far side.
I'll keep them distracted until you get there.
Just don't take too long.
Come on, when have I ever let you down?
Very well, the burden is on me not to destroy all the droids before you'll arrive.
Save your energy.
I can't!
Don't give up, Padme.
Obi-Wan's been here, hasn't he?
He came by this morning.
What did he want?
He's worried about you.
He says you're under a lot of stress.
I feel... lost.
Lost?
What do you mean?
Obi-Wan and the Council don't trust me.
They trust you with their lives.
Something's happening...
I'm not the Jedi I should be.
I want more,
and I know I shouldn't.
You expect too much of yourself.
I have found a way to save you.
Save me?
From my nightmares.
Is that what's bothering you?
I won't lose you, Padme.
I'm not going to die in childbirth, Annie.
- I promise you. - No, I prom ise you!
Greetings, young Jedi.
What brings you to our remote sanctuary?
Unfortunately, the war.
There is no war here
unless you've brought it with you.
With your kind permission, I should like some fuel
and to use your city as a base as I search nearby systems
for General Grievous.
He is here! We are being held hostage. They are watching us. I understand.
The tenth level... thousands of Battle Droids...
Tell your people to take shelter.
If you have warriors,
now is the time.
Take the Fighter back to the ship. Tell Cody, I've made contact.
- va a traer mas guerreros? - He didn't say.
It won't be long before the armies of the Republic track us here.
I am sending you to the Mustafar system in the Outer Rim.
It is a volcanic planet
You will be safe there.
Safe?
Chancellor Palpatine managed to escape your grip, General,
without Count Dooku. I have doubts about your ability to keep us safe.
Be thankful, Viceroy,
you have not found yourself in my grip.
Your ship is waiting.
Hello, there!
General Kenobi,
you are a bold one.
Kill him!
Back away.
I will deal with this Jedi slime
myself.
Your move.
You fool.
I have been trained in your Jedi arts by Count Dooku.
Attack, Kenobi.
Army or not, you must realize you are doomed.
Oh! I don't think so.
Master Windu, may I interrupt?
General Kenobi has made contact with General Grievous,
and we have begun our attack. Thank you, Commander.
Anakin,
deliver this report to the Chancellor.
His reaction will give us a clue to his intentions.
Yes, Master.
I sense a plot to destroy the Jedi.
The dark side of the Force surrounds the Chancellor.
If he does not give up his emergency powers
after the destruction of Grievous, then he should be removed from office.
the Jedi Council would have to take control of the Senate in order to secure a peaceful transition...
To a dark place this line of thought will carry us.
Hmmmmm... great care we must take.
Chancellor,
we have just received a report from Master Kenobi.
He has engaged General Grievous.
We can only hope that Master Kenobi is up to the challenge.
I should be there with him.
It is upsetting to me to see that the Council doesn't seem to fully appreciate your talents.
Don't you wonder why they won't make you a Jedi Master?
I wish I knew.
More and more I get the feeling
that I am being excluded from the Council.
I know there are things about the Force that they are not telling me.
They don't trust you, Anakin.
They see your future.
They know your power will be too strong to control.
You must break through the fog of lies the Jedi have created around you.
Let me help you to know the subtleties of the Force.
How do you know the ways of the Force?
My mentor taught me everything about the Force...
even the nature of the dark side.
You know the dark side?!
Anakin,
if one is to understand the great mystery, one must study all its aspects, not just the dogmatic, narrow view of the Jedi.
If you wish to become a complete and wise leader, you must embrace a larger view of the Force.
Be careful of the Jedi, Anakin.
Only through me can you achieve a power greater than any Jedi.
Learn to know the dark side of the Force,
Anakin, and you will be able to save your wife
from certain death.
What did you say?
Use my knowledge, I beg you...
You're a Sith Lord!
I know what has been troubling you...
Listen to me.
Don't continue to be a pawn of the Jedi Council!
Ever since I've known you, you've been searching for a life greater than that of an ordinary Jedi...
a life of significance,
of conscience.
Are you going to kill me?
I would certainly like to.
I know you would.
I can feel your anger.
It gives you focus,
makes you stronger.
I am going to turn you over to the Jedi Council.
Of course you should.
But you're not sure of their intentions, are you?
I will quickly discover the truth of all this.
You have great wisdom, Anakin.
Know the power of the dark side.
The power to save Padme.
So uncivilized...
Master Windu,
I must talk to you.
We have just received word that Obi-Wan has destroyed General Grievous.
We are on our way to make sure the Chancellor returns emergency powers back to the Senate.
He won't give up his power.
I've just learned a terrible truth.
I think Chancellor Palpatine is a Sith Lord.
A Sith Lord?
Yes. The one we have been looking for.
How do you know this?
He knows the ways of the Force.
He has been trained to use the dark side.
Are you sure?
Absolutely.
Then our worst fears have been realized.
We must move quickly if the Jedi Order is to survive.
Master, the Chancellor is very powerful.
You will need my help if you are going to arrest him.
For your own good, stay out of this affair.
I sense a great deal of confusion in you, young Skywalker.
There is much fear that clouds your judgment.
I must go, Master.
No.
If what you told me is true,
you will have gained my trust,
but for now remain here.
Wait in the Council Chamber until we'll return.
Yes, Master.
