03x02 - Chapter 18: The Mines of Mandalore

[bunniefuu]

ARMORER: Redemption is no longer possible

since the destruction of our homeworld.

THE MANDALORIAN: But what if the
mines of Mandalore still exist?

If I visit the planet

and I can bring you proof that I
have bathed in the Living Waters,

then by Creed, I would be redeemed.

ARMORER: The songs of eons past

foretold of the Mythosaur rising
up to herald a new age of Mandalore.

Have you ever heard of Bo-Katan Kryze?

Bo-Katan Kryze was
born of a mighty house,

but they lost sight of the Way.

She once laid claim to rule Mandalore

based purely on blood and
the sword you now possess.

Her rule ended in tragedy.

(HISSING)

THE MANDALORIAN: Bo-Katan,
I am going to Mandalore.

That planet has been ravaged,
plundered, and poisoned.

There's nothing left.

- (FIREWORKS EXPLODING)
- (CROWD CHEERING)

(SPEAKING RODIAN)

(PELI MOTTO SIGHS)

(LAUGHS) I don't know
what to tell you, pal.

I mean, there are a
lot of parts missing.

(SPEAKING RODIAN)

Fine, I'll push it back out on the street.

You heard him, pit droids! Out!

(PIT DROIDS CHITTERING)

(SPEAKING RODIAN)

All right, well, I don't appreciate
the tone of voice, but I'll fix it.

(SPEAKING RODIAN)

(SIGHS) Oof. Boy, I don't know.

I mean, lucky for you, business is slow.

I gotta order the
parts from the Mid Rim.

Let's say, mmm, two months.

(SHOUTING)

All right, settle your
snout. I'll put a rush on it.

But you gotta give me
half upfront for parts.

- (CLINKING)
- (PIT DROIDS CHITTER)

Yeah.

I should charge you more considering
now I gotta work Boonta Eve.

- (SPEAKING RODIAN)
- Me?

You know, I do have a life.

Big holiday. I had big plans!

You know, I just don't sit around here

- and work all day, I'm very popular.
- (DROID BEEPING)

(SIGHS) Is he gone?

- (CHITTERS)
- (R -D BEEPS)

Hey, tell the Jawas the Rodian left.

(DROID BEEPING)

PELI MOTTO: All right, let's get
this thing back together again.

Quickly, before he sees you.

Go, go, go, go, go!

Put those parts back on the speeder.

Paint 'em so they look
different. Here you go.

(SPEAKING JAWAESE)

Seriously? For five minutes of work?

(SPEAKING JAWAESE)

(GRUNTS) You're lucky I'm a softy.

(WHOOSHING)

- Hey. Scram.
- (SPEAKING JAWAESE)

Go strip another speeder.
It's Boonta Eve, it's ripe.

(WHOOSHING)

(WHIRRING)

Whoo-hoo! You hear that? She's
purring like a nuzzle shrew.

THE MANDALORIAN: No complaints.

Still faster than I
know what to do with.

Well, I'll tune her up, just the same.

So, uh, where's my guy?

(GROGU COOING)

Huh? There he is!

(EXCLAIMING)

Now who taught you how to
leap like a Lurmen, huh?

(BABBLING)

Was that his first word?

I think he's talking to me.

Did you hear that? He said "Peli."

I'm here on business.

Oh, are the Hutts back? Are
you takin' out Boba Fett?

I need a droid part.

Ugh. Boring!

Hey, get the Jawas back in here
before they hit the cantina.

(PIT DROID CHATTERS)

You know how Mos Eisley
gets during Boonta week.

I'm looking for a
replacement IG memory circuit.

Oh. Hey, grandpa. They
haven't made those for a while.

(SPEAKING JAWAESE)

(SPEAKING JAWAESE)

Memory circuit.

(SPEAKING JAWAESE)

Sorry, pal, no chance cubes.

- They can't find the part?
- Nope.

I need my droid fixed now.

Which is why I think you
should buy this beauty here.

- (CLANKS)
- (ELECTRICITY CRACKLING)

THE MANDALORIAN: I can't use an astromech.

I need a droid that's
rated for spelunking.

Spelunking? What are you spelunking?

THE MANDALORIAN: I'm going to Mandalore.

I need a droid that can explore
ahead of me and test the atmosphere,

make sure it's safe to breathe.

- Okay, well...
- (BEEPS NERVOUSLY)

Uh-uh-uh-uh. Hey! Get right back
here. Right back here, scaredy droid.

Come on now, you gotta shine.

(LAUGHS)

This R astromech is
built for adventure.

- (DROID BEEPS)
- What? (SIGHS)

Of course you are.

You're supposed to be
piloting starfighters

across the galaxy and fighting tyranny.

(WORRIED BEEPS)

It's falling apart, and besides,
I got no room for it on the N- .

PELI MOTTO: Nonsense.

R -D is as good as the day it came
back from serving in the Rebellion.

And I'll reinstall your droid port

and this little baby
here can even co-pilot.

(DROID BEEPING, TREMBLING)

Hey, if you don't settle your bolts,
I'll sell you back to the Jawas.

(LAUGHS) And because it's Boonta,

what I'm gonna do is I'm gonna
give you this for half the price

and throw in a free oil bath.

(DROID BEEPING)

(DROID BEEPING FRANTICALLY)

Oh, come on now, don't be a coward.

You're an astromech, act like one.

(DROID BEEPING)

I wouldn't rely too much on this one.
Its circuitry is a little fragile.

THE MANDALORIAN: I thought you
said it was built for adventure.

What? Sorry, I can't hear you!

(ENGINES WHIRRING)

May the Force be with you!

(FIREWORKS EXPLODING)

- All right, kid.
- (GROGU BABBLES)

You ready for an adventure?

(WHOOSHING)

(WHIMPERS)

It looks scary. I know.

But it was once green and beautiful,
back when the songs were written.

It's Mandalore, the
homeworld of our people.

Every Mandalorian can trace
their roots back to this planet,

and the beskar mines deep within.

And you know what?

I've never been there either.

I grew up there. On that moon.

Concordia.

(GURGLES)

And that's Kalevala
where we visited Bo-Katan.

It's in the same system.

(GROGU BABBLES)

A Mandalorian has to understand
maps and know their way around.

That way, you'll never be lost.

(COOING)

(THUNDER RUMBLING)

(DISTRESSED BEEPING)

(ALARM BEEPING)

(RATTLING)

(ALARM BEEPING)

THE MANDALORIAN: Looks like
the fusion bombs from the Purge

disrupted the magnetic
field around the planet.

From the surface,

we won't be able to communicate
with anyone out of atmosphere,

so we have to be careful.

Down here, we're completely cut off

- from the rest of the galaxy.
- (COOS)

THE MANDALORIAN: R , you ready?

I'm gonna need you to scout
ahead and analyze the atmosphere.

(R -D BEEPING)

That wasn't a question.

(R -D BEEPING FRANTICALLY)

Go over to that split in the rock,

and take an air sample of the ruins below.

(R -D BEEPING)

(WARBLES NERVOUSLY)

(GROGU BABBLES)

(GROGU WHIMPERING)

THE MANDALORIAN: The droid will be fine.

I just need him to take some
readings to make sure it's safe.

(DROID BEEPING)

Don't be a baby.

Just get the samples
we need, and hurry up.

(DROID BEEPING)

(THUNDER RUMBLING)

(BABBLING)

(WHIMPERS)

- THE MANDALORIAN: Here, look.
- (BEEPS)

You can watch him on the scope.

(BEEPING)

(GASPS)

THE MANDALORIAN: R ,
come in. Do you read me?

- (GROGU WHINES)
- (STATIC)

It's probably just interference.

(BABBLING)

(SIGHS) Fine. I'll go get him.

Normally, this is droid work.

I was hoping to avoid going out there.

I'll pressurize my helmet,
seal yourself in your pod.

Be right back.

(DROID BEEPING)

Now come on, let's get
you back to the ship.

(HELMET HISSING)

(BABBLING)

Hang on, kid.

Not until I check the toxicity.

You got an analysis
on the atmosphere yet?

(DROID BEEPING)

(TRILLING)

The charts were wrong.

- (DROID BEEPING)
- The atmosphere is breathable.

(BABBLING)

Bo-Katan was right.

Mandalore is not cursed.

(THUNDER RUMBLING)

That's the Civic Center.

This is where Bo-Katan said to go.

(EERIE MUSIC PLAYING)

The mines should be further down.

I guess we're on our own from here.

Maybe I didn't make
myself clear the last time.

I want to be left alone.

I knew quite a few Jedi, you know.

I don't know what they
taught you about us,

but there was a time we
actually got along quite well.

Fought side by side.

(BABBLING)

How good are you with the Force?

You must be quite good at it
if you got back to me all alone.

They used to live in the surface
wastelands beyond our cities.

If they survived, I wonder
what else might have, too.

I'm gonna get you out
of here, all right?

Can you move at all?

Are you trying to say something?

(THE MANDALORIAN GROANING)

THE MANDALORIAN: How did you find me?

Your kid.

He's tougher than he looks.

(SPUTTERS)

And he's quite the navigator.

THE MANDALORIAN: Thank
you for rescuing me.

(GROANS)

You were right.

Mandalore is not cursed.

Was I?

Look around.

There's nothing left.

A great society is now a memory.

I once ruled here for a brief time.

(GRUNTS) Now, it's destroyed.

Nothing to cling to but ashes.

THE MANDALORIAN: What is this?

You've never eaten pog soup?

No.

Can you appreciate the irony?

Any Mandalorian worth their armor

was raised on this
since they were his size.

You should rest.

I'll get you back to
my ship soon enough.

(GROANS) I'm not going with you.

BO-KATAN: What are you talking about?

THE MANDALORIAN: I must continue
to the Mines of Mandalore

so that I may be redeemed.

BO-KATAN: I honestly
think that it's adorable

that you actually believe
these children's stories.

But there is nothing
magic about the waters.

THE MANDALORIAN: Without
the Creed, what are we?

What do we stand for?

Our people are scattered
like stars in the galaxy.

The Creed is how we survived.

You rescued me and I'll
always be in your debt.

But I can't go with you
until I fulfill my obligation.

BO-KATAN: I will take you.

- THE MANDALORIAN: To the Living Waters?
- Yes.

You'd never find them on your own.

Not in all this wreckage.

THE MANDALORIAN: Thank you.

Don't thank me until you see them.

(BABBLING)

THE MANDALORIAN: It's hard to believe that

this all was once filled with our kind.

It wasn't that long ago.

You'd never know it looking
at all this destruction.

THE MANDALORIAN: It looks
like it's been centuries.

BO-KATAN: The Empire
set out to punish us.

To wipe away our memory.

(BABBLING)

THE MANDALORIAN: It must
pain you to see it like this

after witnessing its beauty.

What pains me is seeing our own kind

fight one another time and time again.

k*lling each other for reasons
too confusing to explain.

It made us weak.

We had no hope to resist being
smashed by the fist of the Empire.

There.

The entrance to the Mines of Mandalore.

(DEVICE TRILLING)

THE MANDALORIAN: This
area looks much older.

BO-KATAN: The mines have been
here for thousands of years.

The Living Waters are
in the chambers below.

THE MANDALORIAN: Have you been there?

BO-KATAN: Yes, when I was a child.

THE MANDALORIAN: Really?

I was part of the royal family.

I took the Creed and
was showered with gifts.

But the rituals were all
just theater for our subjects.

They loved watching the princess
recite the Mandalorian tenets

as her father looked on proudly.

Such a heart-warming spectacle.

THE MANDALORIAN: Maybe he was proud.

BO-KATAN: I know he was.

I didn't embarrass him
in front of everyone.

THE MANDALORIAN: Your father
sounds like an interesting man.

I would've liked to have known him.

He was a great man.

He d*ed defending Mandalore.

THE MANDALORIAN: This is the Way.

What are you lookin' at?

(WATER SLOSHING)

BO-KATAN: Here you go. The Living Waters.

Hold on.

I want you to get the full tour.

"These mines date back to the
age of the first Mandalore.

According to ancient folklore, the
mines were once a Mythosaur lair.

Mandalore the Great is said to
have tamed the mythical beast.

It is from these legends that
the skull signet was adopted

and became the symbol of our planet."

This is it.

Din? Are you all right?

(BABBLING)

THE MANDALORIAN: "I swear on my name."

"And the names of the Ancestors,

that I shall walk the
way of the Mand'alor...

and the words of the Creed shall
be forever forged in my heart."
