Andor (2022) s02e08 Episode Script
Who Are You?
1
[KRENNIC] There's a mineral
underground. Doctor!
Deep substrate foliated kalkite.
Should we fail to find any alternatives,
we will have to control Ghorman
with a hand firm enough
to silence any resistance,
and you've been selected
to help plan for that possibility.
You need a radical insurgency
you can count on.
You need Ghorman rebels you can depend on
to do the wrong thing.
[ORAN] Ghorman
is a single-product economy.
We import almost everything we need
to survive.
I am constantly begging
my people to stay calm
and do nothing
that might make things worse.
The plan Your plan to bait Ghorman
as a prize for outside agitators
needs to begin somewhere.
[WILMON] Luthen wants to know
if you're ready to work.
[CASSIAN] What does he need me for?
[WILMON] ISB Supervisor, Dedra Meero.
She's there in Ghorman.
She's there waiting to be killed.
[RYLANZ] We're drowning in rumors, Syril.
Many people are
starting to think this
new building is more
than just an annex.
I'm not sure why the Empire would
build an armory in
the middle of Palmo,
but I'm running out of answers.
There is, apparently,
no suitable replacement
or synthetic alternative
for the Ghorman substrate material.
I don't know the science,
but it's bad luck Ghorman.
She's in there.
She sleeps in the building.
I've seen her on the terrace.
I have a room at the front,
facing the Plaza.
Ah. Perfect.
[THELA] You know, most guests
don't say that anymore. It can be loud.
[CASSIAN] I'm a deep sleeper.
You walk a very narrow path, Dedra.
Syril must never know
what this is all really about.
Good things are waiting for us.
We'll be out of here soon.
We'll be back in Coruscant.
We'll be together.
We'll be rewarded.
For what? What have we accomplished?
[PARTAGAZ] Captain Kaido
is arriving today.
He'll be bringing a variety of personnel
to help manage the situation.
You're aware, sir, that the insurgents
have weapons at this point.
We're counting on it.

I want it done quickly. Double time!
- [TENSE MUSIC PLAYING]
- That's not a request, that's an order.
Get that one ready next!
Help him, then.
One on each side.
Come on, soldier, look lively!
Keep it moving. Keep it moving.
Come on, you! Look lively!
Get that one ready next!
[OFFICER] Move with purpose. Let's go!
- [COMMS DEVICE BEEPS]
- [WILMON] Cassian.
What is all this?
Did you know about this?
Know about what?
They're pulling it all in.
Pulling what from where?
The barricades. What's going on here?
[DILAN SHOUTING IN GHOR]
[SPEAKING IN GHOR]
[CAPSO SPEAKING]
- [WILMON] You hear that?
[CASSIAN] I'm looking at it.
They're not opening anything.
They're putting a shell
around the building.
- What do you mean?
- I won't get a shot from here.
[MAN SPEAKING IN GHOR]
[DILAN SPEAKING IN GHOR]
They're building a fortress.
[DEVICE BUZZES]
[PARTAGAZ] Apologies.
I know you've been waiting.
[DEDRA] There's reports coming in
from the countryside.
They're saying we've landed mining rigs.
[PARTAGAZ] You seem animated.
Rumors spread quickly these days.
Well, I'm sure Captain Kaido
has his assets in position.
That's why I thought it urgent we speak.
He's given orders
to barricade the building.
I saw that. Seems a wise idea.
The mining equipment. Already on site.
Is that a story Director Krennic
wants to be telling?
We're done with local rumors.
The only story that matters
is Ghorman aggression.
The threats. The inexplicable resistance
to Imperial norms.
We need what's in the ground.
The Empire has been patient long enough.
Our struggles with Ghorman
are well documented at this point.
[TENSE MUSIC PLAYING]
- [LEEZA] Samm.
- [INDISTINCT CONVERSATION]
The continued and inexplicable
Ghorman resistance to Imperial norms.
Many people, even some Ghormans,
have already been asking
how long the Empire's patience
can be tested.
And here we are this morning
with rumors of a general strike
and mass demonstrations
how the Imperial authorities
can calm the situation down.
The casualties from yesterday's bombing
of the Naval Depot
are still yet to be finalized.
The fear is the numbers will be
minimized to lower
the temperature here.
If that is the case,
it certainly doesn't seem to be working.
There were mass curfew violations
last night
and rumors of a general strike
this morning.
[DOORBELL CHIMES]
Sorry, sir. Comms are down.
We're making rounds.
Imperial employees are to report
immediately to the IOC building.

How could we be so foolish?
I meant you no harm.
How do you say that?
How do you speak the words?
You've destroyed us.
I was here to trap outside agitators.
Look at you. Even now
People know what you're doing.
We've had reports all night.
There's mining equipment being dropped
all over the planet.
- Rigs and droids and
- That's a rumor!
Are you mad?
That I'd believe that?
That it's worth saying?

I'm not sure I'll be back.

Didn't log you in.

I see Imperial uniforms, Sergeant.
I see a barricade lane to the Memorial

Syril, please.
You're gonna tell me
what this has really been about.
- You're hurting me.
- And you are going to tell me
what the mining ships are doing here.
- They're not
- There is an armada up there!
They're already unloading
in Jel-Novi and Leequa.
- You couldn't even wait.
- No
- Don't.
- [GROANS]
You tell me it's a rumor
and I will throw you out that window.
[GASPING]
What have we been doing here?
[GASPING] There's a stone.
Something in the dirt here.
They need it. It's the energy program.
It's directly from the Emperor. [GASPS]
It's something they can't do without.
They need the planet. [PANTING]
[SOMBER MUSIC PLAYING]
How long have you known this?
We're going home, Syril.
We're going home as heroes.
This began long before we got here.
They've been planning it for years.
They're doing this no matter what.
[BREATHING HEAVILY]
We wanted to be together.
You didn't seem to mind the promotions.

This is Palmo One.
This is the voice of Ghorman.
This is Palmo One
making an emergency broadcast
on all open channels.
This is Palmo One! This is Palmo One.
We are under siege.
We're being slaughtered.
The Imperial murder of Ghorman has begun.
There are hundreds of bodies this moment.
As I say these words,
hundreds of murdered Ghormans lay dead
in Palmo Plaza.
Thousands more on the streets.
More every minute.
We're being destroyed!
This is Ghorman reaching for
any open channel that can hear me!
If you can If you can hear me
If you believe in truth,
if you have any faith left in truth,
please, please mark this message
and pass it forward.
This is murder!
The Empire built this fire.
They made this fire
and led us to the slaughter.
Now they expect us to die
without knowing why.
The conspiracy we've feared is real!
It's here today!
Imperial ships are already
landing across

[CRIES]
[WHIMPERING]
Even as Imperial security forces
are still assessing casualties,
even as our fallen heroes
are beginning their final journeys home,
questions are being asked
about how an insurrection of this scale
could be mounted
without the aid and support
of outside rebel assistance.
In the days to come,
as the Imperial martyrs of Ghorman
are mourned,
we're sure to learn a great deal more
about what happened here today
and the price we'll pay
for our own safety.
[KRENNIC] There's a mineral
underground. Doctor!
Deep substrate foliated kalkite.
Should we fail to find any alternatives,
we will have to control Ghorman

Patrol, sir? Within the crowd?
Was that not my order?
They're green, sir. They're useless.
I see Imperial uniforms, Sergeant.
I see a barricade lane to the Memorial
that I need kept open.
You will march them out there immediately
and secure the area.
Or you can all finish your days
in an Imperial brig.
Stand to!
We are the Ghor! The galaxy is watching!

Something in the dirt here.
They need it. It's the energy program.
It's directly from the Emperor. [GASPS]
It's something they can't do without.
They need the planet. [PANTING]

This began long before we got here.
They've been planning it for years.

[DREENA, OVER RADIO] Palmo One.
This is Palmo One.
This is the voice of Ghorman.
This is Palmo One
making an emergency broadcast
on all open channels.
This is Palmo One! This is Palmo One.
We are under siege.
We're being slaughtered.
The Imperial murder of Ghorman has begun.
There are hundreds of bodies this moment.
As I say these words,
hundreds of murdered Ghormans lay dead
in Palmo Plaza.
Thousands more on the streets.
More every minute.
We're being destroyed!
This is Ghorman reaching for
any open channel that can hear me!
If you can If you can hear me
If you believe in truth,
if you have any faith left in truth,
please, please mark this message
and pass it forward.
This is murder!
The Empire built this fire.
They made this fire
and led us to the slaughter.
Now they expect us to die
without knowing why.
The conspiracy we've feared is real!
It's here today!
Imperial ships are already
landing across

[WHIMPERING]
Even as Imperial security forces
are still assessing casualties,
even as our fallen heroes
are beginning their final journeys home,
questions are being asked
about how an insurrection of this scale
could be mounted
without the aid and support
of outside rebel assistance.
In the days to come,
as the Imperial martyrs of Ghorman
are mourned,
we're sure to learn a great deal more
about what happened here today
and the price we'll pay
for our own safety.
