Star Wars REBELS (2014) s04e12 Episode Script
Wolves and a Door
1 (PURRING) (MEOWS) HERA: All right Ezra, you have our attention, now explain what's going on.
EZRA: This stone came from the Jedi Temple here on Lothal.
That's far to the north, how did it get here? The Lothwolves gave it to me.
They think the Empire is doing something terrible there.
(CHUCKLES) Okay, wait, "they think"? What, did they talk to you? Well, just the one.
I wish they told you what these symbols mean.
But, mmm, maybe I could make more sense of them if I saw the temple up close.
I agree, we have to go.
I don't want the Empire putting their hands all over the Temple.
So let's stop them.
For Kanan.
There's just one problem.
As Hera said, the Temple is far to the north, and we don't have a ship.
I can get us there.
We're ready, can you take us? Are these things faster than speeders? Well, they got us here in the first place.
I guess they can get us to the Temple as well.
I'm just, you know, more comfortable with speeders - (LOTHWOLVES SNIFFING) - 'cause, oh! Oh, uh Hello, my name is Zeb.
(LAUGHS NERVOUSLY) Zeb, those ones don't talk.
How do you know? It talks, uh, with its eyes.
Everyone ready? Here we go.
(CHOPPER GRUNTING) (CHOPPER WHINING) (MEOWS) How far is it to the temple? You don't wanna know! Hold tight! KANAN: You want a ride? ZEB: You don't know us.
EZRA: And I don't want to.
KANAN: I lost my way for a long time, but now, I have a chance to change things.
HERA: We have hope.
Hope that things can get better, and they will.
KANAN: That was a mistake.
GRAND INQUISITOR: Why? Because you have no one left to die for you? KANAN: No, because I have nothing left to fear.
AHSOKA: This is a new day, a new beginning KANAN: There's a cost for any action we take now, Ezra.
Things are getting worse, just as they did back when I was your age.
But back then there were 10,000 Jedi knights protecting the galaxy.
Now EZRA: There's just you and me.
(LOTHWOLVES HOWLING) (CHOPPER GRUNTING) Hey, did you hear those voices? I have no idea what just happened.
(CHOPPER GRUNTING) They say the Temple is not far from here, just a bit to the Northwest.
But we'll have to walk the rest of the way.
Ezra, how do they do that? I don't know.
Kanan said they're deeply connected to the Force.
I'm just glad they're on our side.
They're on Lothal's side.
Is there a difference? Let's hope not.
(HOWLING) We should get moving.
This is no military operation.
SABINE: What are they searching for? Let me take a look.
Wait, the doors, they're both gone.
And it looks like one of them has been cut right off the surface.
Is this really the temple? It looks like solid rock.
We're in the right place.
It must have sealed itself off.
Any idea what the Empire wants? No.
Well, they've uncovered a lot more artwork.
Maybe I can figure it out if I get a closer look.
Agreed.
You and Ezra go, we'll keep watch from up here.
Look! You're gonna need a disguise.
Identify yourself! You misunderstand, Captain, I am not accepting surrenders at this time.
Now let us proceed.
What? (THUDS) (STORMTROOPER GRUNTS) (CHOPPER LAUGHS) SABINE: Well, they're definitely on to something.
There's a language here.
Not Not so much in words, but pictures.
I saw paintings like these inside the temple.
HYDAN: Trooper! Get away from there at once! I've said it before, none of you are to touch the artifacts! The tiniest blemish could erase evidence which is critical to understanding the gateway! EZRA: Gateway? I mean, yes, sir, sorry, sir.
THRAWN TROOPER: Minister, Coruscant is contacting you.
This conduct reflects poorly on you, Commander.
THRAWN TROOPER: Yes, Minister.
All right you two, numbers and clearance codes, now! You don't need our numbers and clearance.
THRAWN TROOPER: I don't need your numbers and clearance.
You're going to forget all about this.
That was a close one, who's the old man? I don't know, I've never seen an Imperial like him.
Chopper, I need you to reroute the incoming Imperial transmission.
(CHOPPER GRUNTING) (INDISTINCT VOICE OVER STATIC) HYDAN: We have recently made some remarkable discoveries, my Emperor.
PALPATINE: We must discover the secrets of the Temple, for even now our enemies move against us.
HYDAN: We have reached the roots of the Temple and found some fascinating work.
The symbols and iconography are reminiscent of a report I discovered in the Jedi archives.
The Mortis gods? Yes, they are key to unlocking the Temple, I am sure of it.
There has been a great disturbance in the Force.
The death of Kanan Jarrus has altered the fate of Lothal, though how I cannot say.
Perhaps access to the Temple will provide some clarity, my Lord.
We must seize the power within, a conduit between the living and the dead.
Proceed, Minister Hydan.
Hera, did you hear? What should we do? I don't like it.
With the Emperor involved it's too dangerous, we should fall back.
No.
Because of the Emperor, we have to get involved.
We can't let him enter the temple.
Then they'll crack the code.
It's only a matter of time.
Hera.
Remember why we came.
Go, we'll keep watch.
But I want you both out of there if I give you the order.
SABINE: Absolutely.
EZRA: Thanks, Hera.
Let's go.
They'll be fine.
I used to always believe that.
TROOPER: (OVER PA) Attention.
There is a safety hazard zone in standing 25 meters from the temple.
Special teams are exempt, and look out for static charge.
All operational departments signal by beeping twice.
We are close to our goal.
Move the drill into first position.
Everyone double shifts, through the night.
Mind your priority assignments, and stay within your designated areas.
Turn the flood lights on! SABINE: Whoa.
You ever seen anything like this before? EZRA: Nope, but this Temple is always full of surprises.
Lord Hydan, we have discovered more symbols.
Show me.
(INDISTINCT CHATTER) EZRA: Can you make anything out of it? SABINE: Mmm, I think so.
(SIGHS) Very old, very intricate.
Does any of this mean anything to you? Well, I've seen a bird like that before.
Whenever Ahsoka visited us on Atollon, it was always nearby.
And look, Lothwolves.
The stone the wolves gave me Yeah.
I thought I might need to refer to it.
SABINE: (GASPS) Look! The hands, they're the same on the figures as the ones here on the stone.
And that means something? Ezra it's art, everything has a meaning.
I think this is it.
- What? - The painting on the temple is like a star map, but none that I'm familiar with.
Those lines are like paths and the rings are planets, or, or doorways.
Okay, but which one leads into the Temple? We're about to find out.
So, how do we open this door? Okay, look here.
The hands represent different configurations.
Right now it looks like the painting is lined up with the central figure.
I think we want this one, where the lines are together.
Great, what happens then? Well, I don't know.
It's your turn, now do your thing.
Right.
Wait, what thing? Whatever it is you do to open the Temple.
Uh, Kanan and I always opened it together.
It takes a Master and an apprentice, he said.
(INDISTINC STORM TROOPER CHATTER) Well, you're gonna have to think of something and fast.
Hurry! You can't rush these things! Get down! STORMTROOPER: LS-515, why aren't you on patrol? SABINE: I thought I saw something moving over here, but um, it was just the shadows.
STORMTROOPER: That's a restricted area.
SABINE: I was just following protocol, sir, code 6-1-1-0.
STORMTROOPER: That's military code.
This operation is classified under directive AT-1-4.
SABINE: My mistake.
STORMTROOPER: You should have been informed about the new directive.
The stone Listen to the stone and its story.
STORMTROOPER: This is all very irregular.
We're gonna have to call it in.
SABINE: If you do that, I'll be late for my assignment.
STORMTROOPER: Like you said, we're just following protocol.
STORMTROOPER: 515, affirmative.
Copy that, over.
SABINE: I don't have time for this.
STORMTROOPER: Operations says you and LS-412 deviated from your patrol route and never finished the perimeter sweep.
SABINE: Let's go over to operations and straighten this out.
STORMTROOPER 2: Great, now we're both gonna have to file a report.
Listen Kanan said to listen.
THE DAUGHTER: We are the ones who guard the power.
We are the middle, the beginning, and the end.
(HOWLING) Sabine is going with the troopers.
Have they found her out? I don't think so What about Ezra? I can't tell.
He went into the shadows, but I think What? I think the paintings moved? All right, hand those over.
You've been staring through them too long.
(HOWLING) This is it.
Uh, what have we here? STORMTROOPER: Minister, we're bringing this trooper in for processing.
There seems to be a discrepancy.
Indeed.
Who are you and where is your friend? Restrain her! Lock down the perimeter.
Order all units to report in, we have an imposter loose on site! (SIREN BLARING) Gotta move! TROOPER: (OVER PA) Intruder in sector three grid two.
STORMTROOPER 3: There he is! The gateway! Go! Stop him!
EZRA: This stone came from the Jedi Temple here on Lothal.
