You know they already left to get the hyperdrive.
Figured you'd go.
I wanted to stay.
It's funny, no matter what happens,
we always end up back here on Lothal.
Well, Ezra has a strong connection to this place.
It is his home.
Before we knew Ezra, we were drawn here.
The mission was here.
There were a lot of missions in a lot of places,
but we kept coming back.
Are you saying we were meant to come here?
Maybe to meet Ezra?
I don't know, something like that.
But there's more to it.
I'm just not sure what.
We have recovered your prototype, Grand Admiral,
but its data recorder and hyperdrive are gone.
The rebels will attempt to deliver the recorder to the rebel command
in hopes of studying the TIE defender design for a weakness.
The hyperdrive is too cumbersome
for the rebels to have carried it far on foot.
They must have hidden it in the area.
Which is why We dispatched specialized assistance to your aid.
I do not require assistance.
The return of these rebels to Lothal and the theft of my ship
are two recent lapses proving otherwise.
My agent, Rukh, will arrive shortly.
Hurry up!
Where's the hyperdrive?
Over here somewhere. Jar keep watch.
Over here somewhere?
All these rocks look the same.
It was dark, and we just crashed.
I didn't have time to make a map.
Hey, when in doubt, follow the loth-cat.
You're kidding, right?
You and your loth-cats.
As you must know, I'm Governor Pryce.
I assume you are Thrawn's assassin, Rukh.
- I smell it. - You smell what?
I smell Lasat.
And he's not alone.
Ezra.
We have a problem.
What is that?
I don't know, and I don't think I wanna know.
We'll draw them away.
You get the hyperdrive out of here.
Just let me blast it.
It's okay. I can get us out of this.
LS-3226 and LS-3227 reporting.
We've checked out this area and found nothing.
Should we continue our search?
No.
Don't shoot me! Shoot him!
Blast it!
I'm trying, I'm trying!
Jedi.
It's Bridger. Blast him.
Lasat is still close. Find him!
Are they following us?
What do you think?
Governor, over here.
The Lasat is here somewhere.
Spread out! I'll summon the air patrol.
Hey.
Spectre-4 to Spectre-2. I've acquired the hyperdrive.
Good work, Spectre-4. What about Spectre-6?
I'm sure he'll be along.
How many of them are back there?
More than enough.
Let's try to lose them in there!
Can't this thing go faster?
Hold him there. Just hold him there.
Up ahead! Go through there!
Zeb should be here soon. You ready?
I should be able to just drop the hyperdrive in and run power to it.
This ship is old.
There's no guarantee the defender's hyperdrive will even work in this thing,
never mind the Imperial blockade.
Getting this TIE defender data to the rebellion is vital.
When are you going to feel you've done enough
for this rebellion?
I guess when the Empire is overthrown
and people are free to live their lives the way they want again.
And when that time comes,
how do you want to live your life?
I don't know.
Guess I never really thought about it.
So I guess you really never thought about us.
Kanan, we've talked about that before.
Have we?
You know how I feel.
Do I?
Hey, excuse me!
We've got incoming!
Look what I got.
Guess I should have mentioned I stole the transport.
Good job.
Looks like our hyperdrive problem is solved.
Yeah, well, you know how one problem usually leads to another?
Yeah...
We have another.
And it's small, creepy and very dangerous.
Governor, I've located the rebel camp.
Transmitting coordinates.
Well, it wasn't easy, but I got it patched in.
Still, I give it a 50-50 chance of working.
I'll have to live With 50-50.
Oh, no.
We're out of time!
I could've dealt with these rebels myself, Governor.
The boy escaped you once, assassin.
Besides, where will they go?
Courtesy of the Lasat, who escaped you,
they now have a hyperdrive and can go anywhere.
Even if they get airborne,
they'll never make it out of the system.
We'll hold off the Empire until you're clear.
We'll signal rendezvous coordinates later.
And if we don't hear from you?
- You will. - All right, Bridger.
Good luck.
I didn't get a chance to double-check navicomputer sync,
- But I... - Sabine, I trust your work.
Good luck.
Hera, about what happened.
I don't want you to think...
I just...
May the Force be with you.
Alert Admiral Thrawn of that rebel ship.
I'm not worried about the TIE fighters.
I'm worried about getting torn to pieces by those Star Destroyers.
We won't stand long against those tanks.
We have that transport and a bike.
How many can we get on a bike?
We're out of options!
There! That's our way out.
Loth-wolves?
Look, they helped me before. We should follow them.
Are you serious?
Do you know the way out?
Come on.
Kanan?
Seems like the best idea we've got. Let's go.
This is good. When it gets strange like this,
it's a good thing.
How have you people stayed alive so long?
The rebels have gone deeper into the rocks.
Then they have trapped themselves.
Perhaps. But they're not alone.
I'll hunt them down.
You had your chance.
We're going to finish them my way.
Get me air support.
There! That's what we're looking for!
Heading to .76. Calculate the jump, Chop!
She's headed into the construction spheres.
She'll be trapped.
Sir, I regret to report that Captain Syndulla has escaped.
Ezra, wait up!
Ezra!
I don't want to lose them.
Come on!
Hold it. Stay back!
Why have they stopped?
I don't know.
Ezra, stay back!
There is a way out of here.
Isn't there?
You wanted us to follow you.
Didn't you?
This is bomber LS-21, approaching your position.
What is our primary target?
Just turn those mountains into dust.
Copy that, command. Commencing bombing run.
What are you waiting for?
Kanan?
Kanan, it's looking
at me.
I know.
What does it want?
I guess they were waiting for you.
There are images here of people.
People following a wolf.
I guess we're not the first ones.
Hold on.
Shut your light off.
What now, Ezra?
I'm not sure.
There wasn't a picture of wolves eating those people, was there?
The Empire's bombing the mountains!
We've gotta get out of here.
Everyone, join hands.
- Ezra... - Just do it!
The cave is going to collapse!
There's no way out of here.
That we know of.
Where in blazes are we?
Let's find out.
You're not going to believe this.
We were in the northern hemisphere.
Now we're in the southern hemisphere.
Somehow,
we've moved halfway across the planet.
I'm not even gonna ask how we got here.
Ezra, how did you know the wolves could do that?
I didn't.
Kan an .
Look around, Ezra. Tell me what you see.
This place reminds me of the Jedi temple here on Lothal.
The walls are telling a story.
There are people coming down from the sky.
I think they might be Jedi.
There's a message here for us.
Because we're Jedi?
Dume.
What does that mean? The wolf said it before.
Dume is my name.
Caleb Dume is the name I was born with.
How does the wolf know that?
It has a deep connection to the Force,
to the energy of this planet.
Don't all living things?
This is different.
More focused,
like it has a purpose.
And we're a part of it.
I'm getting a feeling building the TIE defender
isn't the worst thing the Empire's doing here.
There's something else.
Something more
sinister.
Dume.
So, all the paths are coming together, right?
Yeah. I'm just not sure if we're going to like where they lead.
Do we ever?
No. And yes.
I wonder if Hera made it.
I know she did.
