Star Wars: The Clone Wars s03e17 Episode Script

Ghosts of Mortis

[Star wars theme.]
Male announcer: Stranded! Obi-Wan Kenobi, Anakin Skywalker, and his Padawan Ahsoka Tano are caught in the middle of a treacherous battle between good and evil.
The scales now tipped toward the dark side, our three warriors must guard against attack as they plan their escape.
A great weight has been placed on Anakin's shoulders, for it is now that he must face who he really is.
I'm getting a little tired of how unreliable the weather is here.
Some might say that's part of the appeal.
You did well, Anakin.
How do you feel? I'm not sure we're doing the right thing by leaving.
The son is consumed by the dark side.
And if we stay, we may be used to the dark side's advantage.
Well, you want the bad news Or the really bad news? Well, let's try the bad news, laced with a little optimism.
We've got two cracked shilo pins, a busted power converter, the engines should be fired twice to dump debris, and the backup vents need charging.
Sounds terribly downbeat.
Can it be fixed? I can reroute the primary initiator, weld the dampening vents, and that might give us enough power to leave the atmosphere.
After that, I have no guarantees she'll hold together.
We'll take our chances.
Better than staying here.
Where are you going? To see the father.
I'm not convinced that the son will be contained here without our help.
Perhaps we should make a stand.
Anakin if I don't get the father's it'll haunt me forever.
> Forgive me, daughter.
I am an old fool who believed he could control the future.
Now you are gone And all is lost.
Sleep well, my child.
Sleep free.
You should have left by now.
Our ship needs repairs.
Do not underestimate my son.
He will seek your ship to escape our isolation and sow terror through the universe.
And while you are here, he will use you to do it.
What will you do now that he's given himself over to the dark side? It is my actions that have unleashed great danger on the universe.
I must kill him.
But he's too powerful for you alone.
Hmm, perhaps, perhaps not.
The force will decide.
I can help you.
The choice is no longer yours to make.
Both our destinies are clouded.
This place is strong with the force.
Darkness has no hold here.
Go, ask, you have grown strong and powerful, just as I imagined.
Master.
Do you believe you are the chosen one? How can I know? I can tell you what I believe.
I believe you will bring balance to the force, that you will face your demons and and this creature of the dark side? Do I leave, or do I stay and kill him? Neither.
Look deeper.
You will find another way.
I don't understand.
Not far from here, there is a place which is strong in the dark side of the force.
You must go there.
And destroy the son? Remember your training, Anakin.
Trust your instincts.
Master.
Master! Might I suggest less sleeping and a little more work? Sorry, master Kenobi.
Here.
This should help.
We need to change plans.
You must focus on the firing drives.
Disengage them.
But I'm almost finished putting this junk heap back together, and now just do as I say.
We don't have much time.
Well, you're the boss.
Where's Anakin? He came to me for guidance, but at the crossroad, only he can choose.
The force will be his guide now.
I don't like this.
What have you done? I have done nothing.
I am merely letting the will of the force take shape.
Where has he gone? To the well of the dark side.
Welcome.
I believe there has been a misunderstanding.
We really don't have to be enemies.
You murdered your sister.
The force is out of balance.
I have to stop you.
Must you? [Lightsaber hums.]
Anakin has gone to confront your son, hasn't he? Deep within this planet all that is dark is channeled.
And how do I get there? You cannot interfere.
The way I see it, if we were not supposed to interfere, Ahsoka and I wouldn't be here in the first place.
Look after the ship.
I'm going to find Anakin.
[Lightsaber humming.]
There is no use for such crude implements here.
I have a gift for you.
I've had enough of your trickery.
Oh, but you'll like this one.
I promise.
What if I could show you the future? No! No! Stop it! Know yourself.
Know what you will become! [Moaning.]
I will not look! The force is strong with you.
Anakin, please! You were my brother, Anakin! A powerful sith you will become.
I hate you! No.
No.
No! I will do such terrible things.
Yes.
But it doesn't have to be that way.
The choice is still yours to make.
How? The future by its nature can be changed.
Join me, and together we will destroy this emperor you see in your visions.
Then we shall end war, corruption, and suffering throughout the galaxy.
Will we bring peace? Of course.
[Faint tapping and beeping.]
[Static crackling.]
Finally! This is jedi shuttle 634 calling on all secure channels for help.
Do you read? I repeat: We are stranded and need immediate evac.
Come in, please! Anakin, are you all right? There has been sorry.
You will not understand what I have to do to end the clone war.
[Screams.]
Anakin, why? I'm sorry.
I have seen that it is the jedi who will stand in the way of peace.
He's mine now.
[Cackles maniacally.]
Ahsoka, come in, please.
Can you hear me? Ahsoka! Yes, master.
Any success with Anakin? No, quite the opposite.
Master What are you saying? Anakin has joined with the son.
Do not engage him.
But just do as I say.
Listen to me.
You have to disable the ship.
But I just finished putting it back together.
Ahsoka, please listen.
We have to prevent Anakin and the son from leaving.
Yes, master.
Ahsoka, what have you done? Ahsoka! [Grunts and gasps.]
Hmm, nice job.
What took you so long? Here.
I did as you said.
The shuttle's going nowhere without that.
Good, that gives us some time to rescue Anakin.
I can't make contact with anybody.
I don't think anyone will hear my signal.
My father still has hold over this realm, but I will be able to draw any ship here soon.
If I know my old master, he, too, will try to stop us.
Together with your father, they would be a formidable opponent.
I can turn the tide stay here.
What did he show you? I've seen what I become, and I cannot let that happen.
And for this, you join him? Your destiny can change just as quickly as the love in one's heart can fade.
Nothing is set in stone.
But I will cause so much pain.
If there is to be balance, what you have seen must be forgotten.
So cold.
It's ironic, my sister.
I truly loved.
Where am I? I have brought you back to my monastery.
[Sighs.]
What happened? My son broke the laws of time and showed you what you should never have seen.
I don't remember.
I have erased that time.
We shall never know.
Master! Are you all right? I think so, but we must stop the son once and for all.
We have little time, and you'll get only one chance.
You know what you must do.
How quaint, my own personal send-off.
I ask you one last time.
Do not leave, my son.
You have no power to keep me, old man.
You must understand by now, this planet is not my destiny.
What you will do will destroy all that is good.
I beg you, restrain yourself and stay.
I cannot.
And then it shall be.
I love you, my son.
Do you? [Lightsaber hums.]
[Low thudding.]
[Gasping and choking.]
[Lightsabers hum.]
[Gasps.]
[Grunts.]
[Lightsabers humming.]
[Both scream.]
[Both grunt.]
What? [Chuckles.]
You're going to kill me now? I held hope that you could resist the dark side.
But I see now, there is no going back.
Father.
[Grunts.]
No! What have you done? It did not have to be this way.
Yes, my child, it did.
You and I are tied together, runs through me.
This way, I take your power.
[Gasps.]
Please, don't die.
I always knew there was good in you.
[Lightsaber hums.]
[Gasps and groans.]
And so you have betrayed me, father.
[Gasping.]
It is done.
And now I die, my heart broken, the role you will play.
And what is that? You are the chosen one.
You have brought balance to this world.
Stay on this path, and you will do it again for the galaxy.
But beware your Heart.
[Low rumbling.]
[Rocks smashing.]
[Glass shatters.]
[Explosion.]
General Skywalker, come in! We read you, Rex.
Can you hear me? Yes, sir, standing by.
We were worried.
You were off the scopes there for a moment.
A moment? We've been gone more than a moment, Rex.
Sir, I don't understand.
You'll need to explain.
You wouldn't believe me if I told you.
We're coming in now.
[Orchestral fanfare.]
