Star Wars: Maul - Shadow Lord (2026) s01e08 Episode Script

[tense music playing]
[Rylee] Devon, who is this guy?
Why are we following him?
Because that Inquisitor won't stop
looking for us until we're dead.
Reports of Imperial patrols and probes,
just a few levels up.
They're closing in.
- [stormtrooper] Freeze!
- Rylee!
Rylee was captured.
Captured? By who?
I fear our presence
has made matters worse.
With or without you, I'm gonna get my son
and get as far away from here as possible.
[Devon] They've got patrols
sweeping the area.
Checkpoints everywhere.
I'm afraid if your son is in there,
it will be no easy task to get him out.
[Lawson] Two-Boots?
[Maul] The Inquisitor will be coming.
They're here.
[growls]

[Icarus] Brother!

[Marrok] There is no surrender for you.
The Emperor wants you dead.
Likewise.

[yelling]
[crashing]
[suspenseful music playing]
[Spybot growls] I no can find him.
[Spybot speaking Droid over comms]
There's no sign of Lord Maul.
How tragic.
Well, let's get going.
What?
[commando] Lady Kast, we need
to move out of Imperial range.
We'll head out of the sector
and hope he finds us.
[eerie music playing]
[Maul groaning]
[Maul] No, no, no!
[Marrok] There is no surrender for you.
The Emperor wants you dead. [echoing]

[groans softly]
I already told you, I don't know anything.
Oh, I doubt that.
And if I'm not convinced,
he won't be either.
Best of luck, young Lawson.
Who Who are you?
What do you want?
I don't--
I don't know anything.
[sighs] Come on, Two-Boots.
- He's still not responding?
- No, and I'm done waiting.
Rylee's been in custody
for too long already.
- I need to get him out.
- [comms chirrup, beep]
- Two-Boots!
- [Rheena] It's Rheena.
[sighs in relief] Rheena.
Oh, thank goodness.
Are you okay? I've been trying
to reach you since the raid.
I had to go dark for a bit,
but I found a transport
to get us off-world.
I'm sending the location of where to meet.
We leave in two hours.
I need more time.
There is something I have to do first.
- [Rheena] Brander.
- Rheena, please.
This transport is going to leave
with or without you.
[call disconnects]
The precinct remains on alert.
The Empire will be expecting you
to make a move.
Well, I wouldn't want to disappoint them.
Keep squads in position.
- We're on our way.
- [stormtrooper] Yes, sir.
[dramatic musical sting]
- Why are you acting stranger than usual?
- [Two-Boots] I'm acting as I should.
It is Lieutenant Blake
who is not following protocol.
I must speak to Chief Klyce about this.
You haven't figured it out?
Chief Klyce is dead.
[Two-Boots]
You must be mistaken.
According to Janix
Civil Defense Procedure,
the chief should've been
on a temporary suspension
- until an investigation--
- Have you blown a circuit?
There was never
going to be an investigation.
[door whooshes]
[tense music playing]
[sighs heavily]
[comms chirruping]
- [comms chirp]
- [Lawson] Two-Boots.
[Two-Boots] Captain Lawson,
I apologize for not answering.
It has been chaos here.
Rylee was taken into interrogation,
and I have been prohibited
- from seeing him
- Two-Boots.
- complaint under Class six-B-twenty--
- Two-Boots!
Focus and listen.
I wanna make a trade.
If you let Rylee go, I'll turn myself in.
I'm the one the Empire wants.
[Two-Boots] I cannot authorize that
as a matter of proper protocol, Captain.
This isn't about protocol.
This is about doing the right thing.
Please, Two-Boots,
I just want my son to be safe.
Get him and meet me
outside loading dock three.
[Devon] That's your plan?
It's terrible.
Tell him, Master.
I agree with my Padawan.
Your partner has already
betrayed you once before.
That may be,
but we're running out of time.
And this is the one shot
I've got to save my son.
[mechanical footsteps thumping]
Okay, here are
Rheena's coordinates to the ship.
No matter what happens to me,
make sure Rylee's on it.
Daki, promise me.
My Padawan and I
will ensure that he gets to safety.
I suspect we'll be
fleeing the vicinity with haste.
See if you can acquire a suitable vehicle.
[suspenseful music playing]
[Two-Boots] Rylee. Psst. Rylee.
Two-Boots.
[Two-Boots] I am rescuing you.
[eerie music playing]
[Darth Sidious laughs maniacally]
- [Maul's scream echoes]
- [laughter continues]
[Marrok] There is no surrender for you.
The Emperor wants you dead.
Yes, yes. Yet, I showed him loyalty.
[groans]
[Marrok] He wants you dead.
- [screams] Silence!
- [mocking laughter]
[panting]
[young Savage] Brother. [echoing]
Brother.
[warbling] Brother. Don't go.
Please don't go.
[breathing heavily]
Savage?
[gasping] No, no.
Sidious!
- [young Savage] Don't go.
- [Darth Sidious laughs maliciously]
[young Maul] I must, my brother.
[young Savage] Stop there!
What have you done to my brother?
Answer me, you monster!
[whimpers]
[Darth Sidious] Your focus is feeble,
my young apprentice.
Now, strike at me.
- [laughing] Pathetic.
- [young Maul] No, master. Please don't--
[screaming] No!
[sobs and screams]
[shudders]
[Obi-Wan Kenobi] No!
Kenobi?
- [grunts]
- [screams]
- [Maul panting]
- [echoing sob]
[Maul] Don't leave me here, master.
Left to die.
Help me, help me.
Help me! [snarls]
Is that you, brother? [echoing]
Brother?
- [groans]
- [Darth Sidious laughs maliciously]
[uneasy music playing]
[wind howling]
[Savage] You must have your revenge.
[breathing heavily]
My home, my family, my brother
All taken from me.
[inhales sharply] Sidious.
You did this to me.
[breathing heavily]
[electricity crackling]
You did this to me!
You did this!
[panting]
[stormtrooper] We need
to see your scandocs.
I'm sorry, but this is a restricted area.
[chuckles] Perfect.
[speaking alien language]
I was just admiring your ride.
- [alien laughs]
- [sighs]
I'm gonna need to borrow it.
[speaking alien language]
[grunts]
- [metal clangs]
- [yelling in alien language]
[bangs]
- [all speaking alien language]
- [rousing music playing]
[sighs]
[inhales deeply] Yeah.
[whirring]
[droid beeping]
[Two-Boots] Good day.
Just escorting this prisoner
for processing.
He should have thought twice
about breaking the law.
- Act natural.
- I am. You're not.
- [Two-Boots] Step aside, please.
- Where do you think you're going?
[Two-Boots] Uh, prisoner transfer.
Thank you.
Uh, no transfers were scheduled.
I'll have to verify it. Wait here.
- [groans]
- Hey!
[stormtrooper groans]
- [Two-Boots] Duck, please.
- [both groan]
- Rylee.
- Dad.
[sighs] I'm so sorry this happened.
Thank you, Two-Boots.
[Two-Boots] How did you know it was me?
I'm not wearing my boots.
Partner, I'd know it was you any day.
You all right?
Yeah, Dad, I'm all right,
but can we please get out of here?
- They'll get you to a ship.
- Wait, what? What about you?
I can't go with you, son.
- I made a deal with Two-Boots that--
- [alarms blaring]
[Two-Boots] About that, Captain.
The deal is off.
- Daki, where is that vehicle?
- [stormtrooper yelps]
My Padawan will be here.
- [Lawson] I hope so.
- [stormtrooper] Stop them!
[stormtroopers grunting]
Hey, boys, need a ride?
[rousing music playing]
[engines revving and roaring]
[groans]
[Two-Boots] How did we end up
with these two?
They're Jedi, Two-Boots.
A key principle in avoiding detection
is being inconspicuous.
Agreed. But a key principle to escaping
is being able to do this.
Nice one, kid.
But these engines will not outrun that.
[engine whines]
[stormtrooper yelps]
[energy whooshes]
[stormtrooper screams]
Hang on!
[Maul's scream echoes]
[water dripping]
[panting tiredly]
[electricity crackling]
[continues panting]
[Maul in eerie voice] Yes, yes, yes.
[straining]
[unnerving music playing]
[Darth Sidious laughing maniacally]
[groans]
[grunting weakly]
[shudders] I'm sorry.
It's all right. It's all right.
[shuddering softly]
I won't let him do this to anyone else.
[brooding music plays]
[breathing heavily]
[growls]
[sinister music playing]
[electricity crackling]
[Spybot] Oh! He be searching. [grunts]
[speaking Droid]
- Any sign of him?
- No. [continues in Droid]
We'll wait as long as it takes.
Oh, wait. That's your grand plan?
Oh. We're gonna wait around
till the Empire finds us.
He'll find us.
Yeah, unless he's captured, or dead.
[ominous music playing]
[exclaims in Droid]
Hey.
Are you all right?
I failed to protect you. I'm sorry.
No, it was my fault.
I got caught.
What happened after
you were captured by the Empire?
That thing that attacked us,
there's a second one.
He questioned me.
He wanted information
about you and Master Daki.
I didn't know anything, but who knows
what I would have said if I did.
Fear is natural.
We just can't allow it to control us.
Come on, we're almost there.
[suspenseful music playing]
No, something's not right.
I sense it as well.
We need to turn back.
And go where?
Anywhere is better than
walking into a trap.
Rheena dislikes the Empire
as much as I do.
She would never double-cross me.
What if she didn't have a choice?
It would be wise
to trust my Padawan's instincts.
Dad, maybe you should call her.
[sighs]
- [beeps]
- Hey, it's me.
- Where are you?
- [Lawson] En route.
[sighs]
Rheena, everything okay?
Of course.
The ship's ready.
It's, uh not exactly luxury,
but it'll get you to Catalor.
[chuckles nervously]
Great. I'll be there soon.
You were right. She's been compromised.
Stop the lift.
[Two-Boots] I can't, Captain.
The controls have been overridden.
[tense music playing]
- Where are they?
- [grunts]
[explosion]
[rumbling and crumbling]
[muffled explosions]
[Rook Kast] We can't stay long.
This is Nico Deemis' office.
They'll be searching for us here.
Deemis is dead. I killed him.
They'll be searching my office.
They'd never suspect we'd come here.
[comms ringing]
The Empire is monitoring comms.
You're going to give us away.
Relax, lady. It's encoded. Huh?
I'm a smuggler.
A smuggler. [scoffs]
Yeah, it's me.
Yeah, you got him.
Okay.
I'm listening.
[Vario humming]
Ah.
Well, I just received
a rather interesting communiqué.
The Pykes?
Nope.
That was a representative
from Crimson Dawn.
Dryden Vos requests an audience.
[exhales]
Things are looking up.
