Thrawn is preparing for a planetary bombardment.
How's the shield coming, Zeb?
We're about to fire it up now.
Rex and I have done our best,
but this is really Sabine's baby.
Then it should work.
Should, yes, but there are a lot of modifications and special fuses.
We never got to test it while Sabine was still here,
so if it overloads, I'm not sure we can fix it.
Let's hope you don't have to.
- Fire it up! - Copy that.
It's working. The shield is stabilized!
Nice work, boys.
Kanan, do you copy?
I read you, Hera.
Thrawn is planning an orbital bombardment.
You need to get back to base immediately.
I'm moving as fast as I can.
Faster. Please.
All right, Thrawn. Your move.
Our capital ships are in position. The blockade is secure.
And the status of the rebel fleet?
The remaining vessels have fled back to the surface
and are taking shelter under a localized shield.
Very good. Let's test their mettle.
Commence the attack.
We have incoming fire.
Kanan, find cover now!
Come on, come on!
The shield is overheating!
They've had enough. Cease fire.
It held! It held!
Kanan? Kanan, do you copy?
I'm gettin' the feeling
Thrawn's actually trying to kill us this time.
That is only funny because you're still alive.
Now, please, come home, love.
Bridger, you have permission to land. Follow us in.
Ezra! What's going on? Why are you here?
You escaped? What's he talking about?
Thrawn ambushed us on Atollon.
You're our only chance for help.
You have poor timing, Bridger.
We're in the middle of a civil war.
Clan Saxon has the Empire's backing,
and our forces are stretched to their limit
just to protect what ground we have.
Mother, there must be something we can do.
Please. We risked everything to get here.
At least hear me out.
Governor Pryce, you're in command of the fleet
while I lead the ground assault.
The plight of your friends amuses you.
I've been in your position before,
only to have these rebels pull a victory from certain defeat.
You and I are not the same, Kallus,
as these rebels are about to learn.
Our shield generator's taken a beating.
I doubt it'll survive another attack like the last one.
I don't think it will have to. Thrawn was trying to soften us up.
He'll send in ground forces to do the dirty work.
I agree, Captain.
My guess is he will most likely stage a direct assault from this position.
If we mine these approaches here and here,
- we can slow 'em down. - Good.
You and Zeb take a squad down and get it done.
Scanners have picked up Imperial transports on the western quadrant.
He's launching the first wave.
Here's the problem, that interdictor cruiser.
If not for Commander Sato, there would be two.
With Thrawn in command, you should count your losses
and consider yourself fortunate to have escaped.
Like I said, without your help, they're trapped.
I wish we could offer it,
but we just don't have the resources.
We can barely take care of our own.
If no is your final answer, then we'll go back alone.
Goodbye, Sabine.
You're not going alone.
I'm going with you.
I appreciate the loyalty you have for your friends, Sabine,
but this mission is impossible.
I never thought that I would be standing here with all of you.
And I bet you never thought
Clan Wren would be free from the grip of Gar Saxon.
But we are.
One thing I know is that my friends make the impossible possible.
If Ezra thinks we can make a difference,
then I believe him.
Bridger and his friends restored my daughter to me,
and that is a debt worth repaying.
We cannot leave ourselves undefended,
but you may take a few ships and any warriors who are willing.
Thank you, Mother.
You won't have much of an army to take down their blockade.
Chopper, bring up the interdictor.
Maybe we don't need an army.
I hope this plan of yours works.
Yeah, me, too.
Here they come.
I left one for you.
They've revealed their meager defenses.
Now we will crush them.
Mark enemy mines and firing positions.
Heavy battalions, advance.
I know that sound.
Yeah. And I hate that sound.
- Lousy four-leggers. - Hit 'em with the detonators.
We need Sabine to invent a shield you can't walk through!
Let's hope we get a chance to tell her!
Hobbie, follow me!
Air groups, clear the sky of that annoyance.
Hostiles incoming!
Kanan, glad you could join us.
- Hera said you're bringing help? - Maybe. Maybe not.
Armored division, hold your position
and destroy any rebel ships that attempt to flee.
Debark all ground troops and storm the base.
And if possible, capture the rebel officers.
Here they come!
General Dodonna, prepare any remaining ships for takeoff.
What about the blockade?
If I go out, it's gonna be on the Ghost!
This way!
The other way, the other way!
Chopper, jam their transmissions.
Rau, you know what to do.
All wings, engage.
Governor, we have ships approaching.
Rebel reinforcements?
Mandalorian, by the look of them.
Sabine Wren.
Send fighters to intercept
and move our capital ships to reinforce them.
Chopper, patch in Hera.
Kanan, you made it. What happened with your friend?
Don't worry. I think he's coming.
Phoenix Leader, do you read me?
Ezra'? - I brought help.
We're taking out the interdictor.
Okay, this might be our only chance. Let's move!
Looks like the family's together again.
Let's try and keep it that way.
There goes our shield.
And now, Captain Syndulla,
I will accept your formal surrender.
Or you will watch your friends perish,
one by one, beginning with the Jedi.
I require an answer, Captain.
You already know my answer.
Do you fear the storm, Master Jedi?
Yeah. And you should, too.
Hang on to something!
What Jedi devilry is this?
I am the Bendu!
What is that?
Kanan?
I told you my friend was coming.
I bring death!
Hera! Hera, do you read me?
She'll get them out. We've got a job to do.
Get us onto that interdictor, now!
Ready your jetpacks and target those gravity well projectors.
Hey, I don't have a jetpack!
You have those little thrusters.
Governor, the enemy fighters have deployed a strike team
onto the hull of our interdictor!
Well, repel them! We will not lose to this rabble!
Incoming!
They've cut us off!
Leave this place.
I am the light...
I am the dark...
I am the Bendu!
You heard him! Make for the ship!
Kanan Jarrus...
Jedi Knight!
This is your friend?
I might've made him angry.
Yeah, I can relate!
Leave this place.
Concentrate fire on the center of the storm!
Ezra, we're headed for the blockade.
Is the interdictor disabled yet?
Working on it!
Chopper, get us out of here!
Governor, we have a problem.
I don't want to hear it! Just stop them.
Nothing gets through!
Thrawn's not going to be happy
with you making a mess of his fleet.
Throw this traitor out the airlock.
Hera, we took out the interdictor. You're all clear!
That's the first good news I've gotten today.
Meet me at Point 8-7. We'll lead the way.
Copy that.
We've got an incoming transmission?
It's Kallus! He's sending coordinates.
There's an escape pod on my scope.
GOT him!
I'm on your 6, Gauntlet.
Phoenix Squadron, let's get out of here!
Roger, Phoenix Leader. We're right behind you.
The remaining rebel ships have jumped to hyperspace.
What manner of creature are you?
One beyond your power to destroy.
It would not seem so.
You cannot see...
But I can.
What? What do you see?
I see your defeat,
like many arms surrounding you in a cold embrace.
I'm sorry for your losses.
We are just grateful for your aid in our time of need.
I want to return the favor, Hera.
My mother needs our help.
Go. But I can't come with you.
I have to get our survivors to rebel command.
Kanan.
Thank you...
For taking me in.
Thank you for risking everything.
I would suggest a second hyperspace jump before heading to Yavin.
If we want to cover our tracks, we should make it three.
You and Sabine really saved the day.
But, Kanan, we lost everything.
I understand you feel defeated,
but I've learned to see things differently.
There's a future for us, one where we're all free.
But it's up to us to make it happen.
