01x02 - Justice

[bunniefuu]

We'll be arriving
shortly, Master.

Set us down well
clear of the village.

Tensions are high enough.

Yes, Master.

[mouse squeaking]

[barking]

[villager whistles]

[dog groans]

Excuse me. Sorry to trouble y...

[villager coughing]

[Dooku] Where is the child?

Where are they holding
the Senator's son?

Why should we tell you?

Allow me to make my
intentions clear.

Jedi.

We are here to help
resolve the situation.

For the Senator.

For everyone.

What do you know
of Senator Dagonet?

He is one of the longest-standing
Senators in the Republic.

Yes, and when you entered this
village, you could see the effects

of his long-standing policies.

With due respect, if you don't like
him, why not elect a new Senator?

I wish it were that simple.

Perhaps, in the beginning,
Senator Dagonet was a good person

and had the interests of the
people in mind. But now...

Come, I will show you
where the Senator's son is.

You're one of the kidnappers?

They all are.

[creatures warble]

[droid chatters]

[chatters]

Have you been treated well?

For a prisoner, yes.

Besides, I have Two-ton
here to keep me company.

[chatters]

Your ordeal will soon be over.

It's not much of an ordeal.

Not compared to how
these people are living.

And you were not aware
of these conditions?

I rarely leave the capital.

When I do, I spend time
off-world on Coruscant,

not here.

How could my father allow
this to happen to his people?

You don't blame them
for abducting you?

What choice did they have?

The Senator, he's here!
And he's brought soldiers.

You have deceived
us, Master Jedi.

No, our coming here was
not known to the Senator.

[Two-ton chatters]

[droid chatters]

She is hungry.

Many would do the same.

Jedi, arrest these criminals and
have them release my son at once.

I'm afraid our investigation
is not yet complete, Senator.

Investigation?

They abducted my son.

I demand his release!

Let me assure you your son
is in no immediate danger.

I'll be the judge of that.

Guards!

Step aside, Jedi.

We cannot.

You serve the Senate.

No.

We serve the people
of this Republic.

So be it.

Ready!

Aim!

Stand down.

I will not.

Fire!

[grunts, screams]

[Senator's son] No!

[grunts]

Halt!

I will destroy this town

and make an example of
it, and many others.

None shall defy me!

Not even you, Master Jed...

[Force rumbling]

[choking]

Master.

[screams]

Go! Save your father.

- What?
- Go now.

- Corruption like yours must be eradicated.
- [choking]

No!

Stop!

Master, it's over.

[choking]

- [groans]
- [lightsaber retracts]

[coughs]

My son.

Father, how could you do this?

These are your people…

our people!

I will not allow your
suffering to continue.

I promise.

[barking]

I wonder if any meaningful
change will come of this.

Is that why you took
action into your own hands?

Your actions saved
many lives today.

Just thinking in
the moment, Master.

Well, then.

You're a much wiser man
than I, Qui-Gon Jinn.

Thanks to your teachings.
