This is the one.
It looks helpless.
It is not helpless.
Its species can move objects with its mind.
The songs of eons past tell of battles between Mandalore The Great,
and an order of sorcerers called Jedi that fought with such powers.
- What is it? - It is a foundling.
By Creed, it is in your care.
You expect me to search the galaxy
for the home of this creature and deliver it to a race of enemy sorcerers?
This is the Way.
I've been quested with returning this Child to the Jedi.
I can lead you to one of their kind.
But first, we need your help on our mission.
We need to hold them off until we can make the jump to hyperspace.
Where can I find the Jedi?
Take the foundling to the city of Calodan on the forest planet of Corvus.
There you will find Ahsoka Tano.
Tell her you were sent by Bo-Katan.
And thank you.
Your bravery will not be forgotten.
This is the Way.
She's off the scope. Draw her out.
I've lost visual. Scan for movement.
Show yourself.
Jedi.
I've been expecting you.
Then you know what I want.
You will learn nothing from me.
I won't give you that choice.
How many lives is the knowledge I possess worth to you?
One?
Ten?
How about a hundred?
The lives of these citizens mean nothing to me.
Now, because of you, these people will suffer.
They already suffer under your rule.
Surrender, or face the consequences.
You have one day to decide.
We will be ready when she returns.
Cage him.
Corvus, this is the place.
I've detected a beacon.
I'm gonna start the landing cycle.
You better get back in your seat.
Hey, what did I tell you?
Back in your seat.
What did I say about that?
This needs to stay in the ship.
Not much to see out here.
Never had dealings with a Jedi before.
Let's head into town.
See if we can pick up a lead.
State your business.
Been tracking for a few days.
Looking for a layover.
Nice armor.
You a hunter, then?
That's right.
Guild?
Last I checked.
Open the gate.
Pardon me, vendor, have you heard of anyone...
You there.
I need some information.
I'm looking for someone.
Okay, bye.
Please, do not speak to them, or to any of us.
Look, I just need to know...
The Magistrate wants to see you.
Help us.
She'll kill us all.
Come forward.
You are a Mandalorian?
Yes.
I have a proposition that may interest you.
My price is high.
This target is priceless.
A Jedi plagues me.
I want you to kill her.
That's a difficult task.
One that you are well-suited for.
The Jedi are the ancient enemy of Mandalore.
As I said, my price is high.
What do you make of this?
Beskar.
Pure beskar...
like your armor.
Kill the Jedi and it's yours.
Where do I find this Jedi?
What is that thing?
I keep it around for luck.
You're gonna need it where you're headed.
Well, these are the coordinates.
Keep your eyes open.
We must be close.
You hear that?
Don't worry. Sit right here. Let me see what's out there.
False alarm.
Ahsoka Tano!
Bo-Katan sent me.
We need to talk.
I hope it's about him.
Is he speaking?
Do you understand him?
In a way.
Grogu and I can feel each other's thoughts.
Grogu?
Yes.
That's his name.
Grogu.
He was raised at the Jedi Temple on Coruscant.
Many Masters trained him over the years.
At the end of the Clone Wars when the Empire rose to power,
he was hidden.
Someone took him from the Temple.
Then his memory becomes... dark.
He seemed lost.
Alone.
I've only known one other being like this.
A wise Jedi Master named Yoda.
Can he still wield the Force?
You mean his powers?
The Force is what gives him his powers.
It is an energy field created by all living things.
To wield it takes a great deal of training and discipline.
I've seen him do things I can't explain.
My task was to bring him to a Jedi.
The Jedi Order fell a long time ago.
So did the Empire, yet it still hunts him.
He needs your help.
Let him sleep.
I'll test him in the morning.
Let's see what knowledge is lurking inside that little mind.
Now, return the stone to me, Grogu.
He doesn't understand.
He does.
It's okay.
The stone, Grogu.
I sense much fear in you.
He's hidden his abilities to survive over the years.
Let's try something else.
Come over here.
- He's stubborn. - Not him.
You.
I want to see if he'll listen to you.
That would be a first.
I like firsts.
Good or bad, they're always memorable.
Now, hold the stone out in the palm of your hand.
Tell him to lift it up.
All right, kid.
Lift the stone.
Grogu.
Grogu...
Come on, take the stone.
You see?
I told you, he's stubborn.
Try to connect with him.
Grogu...
Do you want this?
Well, go ahead.
That's right, take it.
Come on. You can have it.
Come on.
Good job!
Good job, kid.
You see that?
That's right.
I knew you could do it.
Very good.
He's formed a strong attachment to you.
I cannot train him.
What?
Why not?
You've seen what he can do.
His attachment to you makes him vulnerable to his fears.
His anger.
All the more reason to train him.
No.
I've seen what such feelings can do to a fully trained Jedi Knight.
To the best of us.
I will not start this child down that path.
Better to let his abilities fade.
I've delayed too long. I must get back to the village.
The Magistrate sent me to kill you.
I didn't agree to anything.
And I'll help you with your problem,
if you see to it that Grogu is properly trained.
She has a small army of guards armed with A350 blaster rifles,
two HK-87 assassin droids, and a hired gunfighter.
He reads ex-military to me.
Combined, not even your laser swords
would be able to protect you from all that firepower.
True.
But don't underestimate the Magistrate either.
Who is she?
She offered me a staff of pure beskar to kill you.
Morgan Elsbeth.
During the Clone Wars, her people were massacred.
She survived and let her anger fuel an industry
which helped build the Imperial Starfleet.
She plundered worlds,
destroying them in the process.
Yeah, it looks like she's still in business.
When you were in the city did you see any prisoners?
I saw three villagers strung up just outside the inner gate.
We must find a way to free them.
A Mandalorian and a Jedi?
They'll never see it coming.
It's her! Sound the alarm!
Your bounty hunter failed.
Tell me what I want to know.
Where is your master?
Kill her.
Love to.
I'll take care of this.
Take them with you.
Execute them.
Then go door to door.
Please, don't!
Get up there!
- Get inside! - Go.
So, you threw in with the Jedi.
Looks that way.
Who do you think's gonna win?
Could be your side...
could be my side.
I got no quarrel with you, Mandalorian.
That's far enough.
You and I, we're a lot alike.
Willing to lay our lives down for the right cause.
Which this is not.
Sounds like you win.
Behind you!
Now, tell me.
Where is your master?
Where is Grand Admiral Thrawn?
I believe this was your payment.
No.
I can't accept.
I didn't finish the job.
No.
But this belongs with a Mandalorian.
Where is your little friend?
Back at the ship.
Wait here, I'll go get him.
Wake up, buddy.
It's time to say goodbye.
You're like a father to him.
I cannot train him.
You made me a promise, and I held up my end.
There is one possibility.
Go to the planet Tython.
You will find the ancient ruins of a temple
that has a strong connection to the Force.
Place Grogu on the seeing stone at the top of the mountain.
Then what?
Then Grogu may choose his path.
If he reaches out through the Force,
there's a chance a Jedi may sense his presence and come searching for him.
Then again,
there aren't many Jedi left.
Thank you.
May the Force be with you.
