01x12 - Across the Roon Sea

[beeping]

[R-D beeping]

[C-PO] Oh! Much more of this
and my arms will seize up.

-[grunts]
-[R-D beeps]

That's easy for you to say, R.

I have to bang away with this wrench.
Imagine. [chuckles]

All you have to do is
wave that paint nozzle around.

[beeping]

I am not jealous of your artistic talent.

Any transistorized lump
can apply paint to a hull.

It takes a trained eye, a keen mind
and a bold but delicate hand

-to master the sensitivities of--
-[sloshes]

…fine art?

Ooh!

R-D, now look what you've done!

[R-D beeping]

I do not look better in this color.

[engine starting]

Well, that was the last test-f*ring.

We've got just enough fuel
to get us back home to Manda.

Well, sir, I, for one,
will certainly be glad to get home.

Though I do wish our journey here to Roon
had been more successful.

Ha! You said it, PO.

This trip certainly won't go down in
the Baobab Archives as a glowing triumph.

I lost my father's ship
to that dictator, Koong.

And I didn't find any Roonstones.

But we did find something of great value,
Master Mungo.

Friends. The Yomm family.

Yeah.

But Auren left on some errand this morning
with her father.

I guess she doesn't care that I'm…

that we're leaving.

[R-D beeps]

[C-PO] Yes. I've noticed it too.

In spite of our master's bold words,

I believe he has become
quite attached to Mistress Auren.

[beeping]

What signals?

I don't hear anything.

I think that paint has clogged
your motivator contacts.

Now, come along, R.
We've got to load the ship.

You see, Admiral Screed,

thanks to my Sloyd Probe,

nothing that happens on Roon
escapes my eyes.

Even the actions of our old… [chuckles]
…friend, Mungo Baobab.

Governor Koong.

One would scarcely expect to find
such a surveillance system

on a backwater planet like Roon.

Mm-hmm.

A pity it has not helped you uncover
the Roonstone treasure

you promised the Empire.

[laughs] Oh. Patience, Admiral. Patience.

That fool, Baobab, will lead us
right to the source of the Roonstones.

And when he does, Gaff will be ready.

-[grunts]
-[R-D beeps]

Master Mungo, look.
Nilz Yomm and Mistress Auren.

Well, well.

-Hi, Mungo.
-Hello, Mungo.

I thought you had forgotten about us.

Looks like you're just about ready
to head home.

We made it back just in time.

I-- I have a going-away present for you,
Mungo.

A Roonstone.

-My stars!
-[R-D beeps]

Get a close sh*t on that stone.

It's beautiful. Thank you.

But where did it come from?

There's an old hermit

who believes that the Roonstones come
from somewhere deep inside the planet.

Hermit?

Yes. Old Ogger.

He's a strange, old prospector
that lives out near the Bantha Graveyard.

Prospector?

What are we waiting for? Let's go.

Get out there
and find out everything you can.

Go with him.

Follow him, Gaff.

If there are Roonstones to be found,

they will become the property
of the Empire.

And its allies.

[thunderclap]

[thunder rumbling]

PO! R! We found something.

It's an old agricultural freighter.

Let's go inside.

[R-D whistling]

What an overactive imagination
you have, R.

Really. A haunted spaceship. Ha!

[beeping]

[R-D beeping]

I wonder what happened to the crew.

-[rumbling]
-[gasps] What was that?

-[R-D beeping]
-Ghosts? Where?

Don't be so silly, R.
There's no one here except us.

The ship is settling into the mud,
that's all.

[R-D whistling]

[screaming]

[Mungo] PO.

What's wrong?

The ghost, R! A ghost is attacking me!

-Help! Help!
-[R-D beeping]

[groans] An old space suit?

Why… [chuckles] …so it is.

-[screams]
-[both laughing]

[R-D beeps]

I've had quite enough
of your ghost nonsense, R.

-[thunder rumbling]
-Oh, dear!

Wait for me. R, wait!

Look, there.

[Auren gasps]

[grunts] Hello.

It's Old Ogger.

Who's there?

I'm Auren Yomm from the province of Umboo.

We've come to ask you
about the Roonstones.

Come closer, young man.

My eyes aren't what they used to be.

Ah! You!

You wear the colors
of the Baobab Merchant Fleet.

Who are you?

Mungo Baobab, from Manda. But how d--

I'm… I'm Oggem Baobab.

You're my great-uncle Oggem?

You left home years ago
on an expedition to find Roonstones.

Yes.

When this ship crashed,
I was marooned here.

And I found Roonstones.

Six bags full.

Over the years, day by day,

I searched for the source.

And I came so close.

How I longed for someone
to share this dream with.

And now you've come.

My kit.

You continue the search, Mungo.

Finish what I started.

My life's work. Find the source.

But if it comes to a choice
between people and treasure,

family and friends must come first.

This I've learned.

[groaning]

He's gone, Mungo.

[Mungo] Rest well, Uncle Oggem.

Six bags of Roonstones.

It's a fortune.

That's quite a legacy
your uncle Oggem left you.

Pardon my curiosity, sir,

but might I inquire
what was in the pouch your uncle gave you?

His kit bag.
I'd almost forgotten about it.

A memling.

[R-D beeps]

A memling, R, is a complex element
valued for its mutable properties.

Hey! It's getting soft.

[Mungo] It stretches too.

[Auren chuckles]
And now it's back to its original shape.

What's this?

[R-D beeps]

[C-PO] R says the device is
some sort of w*apon.

Hmm. It might be useful.

There's some kind of writing
all over this.

Can you translate it, PO?

Each side is written
in a different language.

I'm afraid I can only understand
one inscription.

It says,

"In fire and ice the white stones glow,

frozen forever, yet warmed from below."

[R-D beeps]

Why, thank you, R.
It was nothing, really.

Could this be a clue
to the source of the Roonstones?

If we can find
the source of the Roonstones,

I can fulfill Uncle Oggem's last wish.

Together, he and I would write
a historic chapter in the Baobab Archives.

Please, Mungo.

You have enough Roonstones.

Trying to find the source
could be dangerous.

Your uncle said the treasure was
secondary to family and friends.

Where's the closest settlement
we can get supplies and equipment?

Nearby. At the port of Nime.

Then Nime it is.
That's where we're heading.

But I think you should reconsider.

[R-D beeps]

[C-PO]
That is not an offer. It's an insult.

I'm afraid you'll have to do
better than that,

or we will take our business elsewhere.

[speaking alien language]

Thank you. We do have several
other interested parties who will pay--

[speaking alien language]

Yes, well. That's more like it.

You're doing fine, PO.

My Sloyd has tracked Baobab
and his friends to that inn.

Get them.

Yes, Governor Koong. We're on our way.

Master Mungo, the Lutki have just made

what I consider to be a very reasonable
offer for the Roonstones.

Then let's close the deal
and get out of here.

-[Gaff] Your attention, please.
-Goodness!

I have a brief announcement to make.

Oh, no! It's Gaff.

If Gaff is here, Koong isn't far away.

His excellency, Governor Koong,
Lord of Tawntoom,

has empowered me
to look for able-bodied volunteers

to join the Koong navy.

Oh… If only I could disguise myself.

Ah. I think I see some volunteers now.

Get up quietly
and move toward the entrance.

Of course, Gaff.

[screams]

[grunting]

Let's go, PO.

-Let's go!
-[R-D beeps]

R, uh, uh, w-where are you?

What's going on? [exclaiming]

-Uh, pardon me.
-[grunts]

-[C-PO] Oh!
-[speaking alien language]

-[exclaiming] Sorry.
-[crashes]

[speaking alien language]

[Mungo shouting]

-[C-PO screams]
-[R-D beeps]

[grunts]

[grunts] Ah-ha!

[C-PO] Oh, no.

You won't get away this time, Baobab.

Call of your men, Gaff,

or I'll cancel your shore leave
right here.

[laughs] Now it's my turn.

[grunting] W-What's this?

A seed launcher. Of course.

What else would he carry
on an agricultural freighter?

-[Auren] Let's go!
-[R-D beeps]

-Oh, no!
-Now what?

My foolish young friend.

You are sadly outnumbered.

[laughing]

Anything you say, Koong.

[grunts]

-Whoa!
-What--

Auren, take the droids
and get out of here.

But Mungo…

[groaning]

Stand back, you fools.

Stop them!

What the-- [grunts]

Ow! What the--

[groans]

Hey, the Roonstones.

Come back!

-No, Mungo. Let them go!
-Oh, dear.

Whoa! Whoa!

[beeping]

R, come back!

[beeping]

[beeping]

-[shouting]
-Whoa!

[beeping]

[Gaff] Surrender
if you want to save your friends.

[laughing]

Okay, okay. Don't hurt them.

You win, Gaff.

For now.

[Gaff] Catch those beasts.

And bring the Roonstones to the ship.

[chattering]

-When we reach Koong Island…
-[gasps]

…Screed will be waiting
to take us to Tawntoom.

There, you will tell me
everything you know

about the source of the Roonstones.

[laughing]

If this ship goes down,
you'll go down with it.

So row well and live. [laughing]

[cackling]

Hi there, shipmate.

I'm Lin-D,

an entertainment droid programmed
for perpetual fun and happiness.

[cackles, snorts]

[C-PO] I don't see
there's anything to be happy about.

What about
this lovely cruise we're getting?

It's free. [cackling]

Come on, Goldie, loosen up.

My name is C-PO.

And this is no time for humor.

-[growls]
-[Lin-D] On the contrary.

I'd say this is the best time
for a few laughs.

[cackling, snorts]

Please. Spare me.

At least they didn't catch R.

[beeping]

[man] Cast off!

[R-D whistling]

[whistling]

[Lin-D]
Now, I wouldn't say Jabba the Hutt is fat.

But when he sits around the planet,
he sits around the planet!

[laughing, snorting]

Hours of nonstop rowing, and now this.

[growls]

[growls]

[growls]

[R-D beeps]

-But seriously, folks--
-R-D!

[R-D beeps]

-What?
-Hmm.

Be quiet. Everybody.

[snores, grumbles]

Cut them loose and meet me on the deck.

-I'm going after the Roonstones.
-[R-D beeps]

No, don't.

But Master Mungo…

What the--

Help!

[mumbling]

Something's going on down there.

Check the galley.

I'll check the cargo hold.

[gasps]

[grunts]

Sorry. [chuckles]

Fire! Fire!

[shouting]

Let's get out of here.

[panting] Gaff, what's going on?

The galley prisoners are escaping.

Yahoo!

And so is Baobab.

With my Roonstones.

Release the drones.

They'll never find them in this fog.

I don't care how long they have to search.
I want those Roonstones.

[thunder rumbling]

[Mungo] The fog is gone,
but I think we're headed into a storm.

Oh, no.

Storms on the Roon Sea cause
huge whirlpools.

Anything on the surface gets sucked under.

But seriously, folks,

how many Gorflins does it take
to screw in a lightbulb?

Why me?

[beeping]

[Lin-D] Seven billion.

One to hold the lightbulb,
and the rest to turn the planet.

-[Lin-D cackling]
-Please, spare me.

-[R-D beeps]
-[Lin-D] Nothing like a good audience.

Uh-oh. Something's coming after us fast.

Great. They've knocked out the motor.

We've got to destroy them.

[R-D beeps]

Whoa!

[Lin-D] I've heard about bringing
the house down, but this is ridiculous.

-Huh?
-[beeps]

Oh, R. I'm sorry about your friend.

It is a pity his show had to end this way.

Look!

It's Koong's galley.

Governor Koong, we've sighted Baobab.

Well, get them!

[Mungo] We're helpless. We have no power.

Pardon me interrupting, sir,

but I believe that Governor Koong's ship
is a secondary problem

compared to the whirlpool.

Whirlpool!

[R-D beeps]

If we only had a sail,
we could get around it.

The memling. Maybe we can make a sail.

[grunts]

[Auren] It's no good.
There's too much weight in the boat.

We'll never make it in time.

Okay, lighten the ship.

Toss anything over that's not nailed down.

[all grunting]

[Auren] It's not enough.

[grunts]

Goodbye, fortune. [grunts]

Mungo, it's working.

We're pulling away.

A whirlpool!

Helmsman, hard over.

[groaning]

We're being pulled in!

-[groans]
-Give me that. [groans]

Galley master.

We're setting sail
for Tawntoom immediately.

You're an arrogant, fool, Koong.

And the Emperor has no use for fools.

But Baobab's escape was
sheer luck, Admiral.

Next time…

After I make my report to the Emperor,
there may not be a next time.

No, wait!

All of Roon will soon be in my control.

I'll have the secret of the Roonstones,

and… and I'll destroy Mungo Baobab.

[Auren] Whew! It's good to be home.

[giggles] For a while, I thought
your Roonstones would be the end of us.

I remembered what Uncle Oggem said.

Friends are important.

And droids are important friends too.

Why, thank you, Master Mungo.

I guess your adventure
is not over yet, Mungo.

When we get to Umboo,

I'm gonna try and translate
the rest of the message on this stone

-and find the source of the Roonstones.
-[R-D beeps]

Whoa! Talk about a rough audience.

[beeping]

[Lin-D] Thanks, little fella.

You know, we make a pretty good team.

-We should go on the road.
-Whoa!

Yeah. The three of us.

Lin-D and his Cosmic Cutups. [cackling]

R, how could you do this to me?

[beeping]

I can see it all now. [cackling]

Why me?
