I have a bad feeling about this.
It's not about the mission, Master. It's something.... elsewhere, elusive.
But Master Yoda said I should be mindful of the future.
Yes, Master.
How do you think this trade viceroy will deal with the chancellor's demands?
Is it in their nature to make us wait this long?
Master! Destroyers! They have shield generators!
It's an invasion army.
You were right about one thing, Master. The negotiations were short.
What's this?
If they find us, they will crush us,
grind us into tiny pieces and blast us into oblivion.
Oh, don't worry. This hasn't been our day for warm welcomes.
Once those droids take control of the surface, they will take control of you.
You and the Naboo form a symbiont circle.
What happens to one of will affect the other.
You must understand this.
Master, what's a bongo?
Master, we're short on time.
Why were you banished, Jar Jar?
You were banished because you were clumsy?
We're losing power.
Power's back.
You overdid it.
I'll deal with that.
Go!
Now stay here and keep out of trouble.
We're loosing droids fast.
Here, Master. Tatooine. It's small, out of the way, poor.
The Trade Federation have no presence there.
There's a settlement.
The hyperdrive generator's gone, Master. We'll need a new one.
I feel it also, Master.
A few containers of supplies. The queen's wardrobe, maybe,
but not enough for you to barter with, not in the amount you're talking about.
This storm will slow them down.
It's a trick. Send no reply. Send no transmissions of any kind.
What if it is true, and the people are dying?
What if this plan fails, Master? We could be stuck here a very long time.
Yes, Master?
Wait a minute.
The boy will not pass the council's test, Master. He's too old.
The reading is off the chart. Over... 20,000.
Even Master Yoda doesn't have a midi-chlorian count that high.
What does that mean?
Why do I sense we've picked up another pathetic life-form?
Yes, Master. That shouldn't take long.
Take off. Over there. Fly low.
What was it?
Do not defy the council, Master, not again.
If you would just follow the code, you would be on the council.
They will not go along with you this time.
I am ready to face the trails.
It's not disrespect, Master. It's the truth.
The boy is dangerous. They all sense it. Why can't you?
It's a droid control ship.
We haven't much time.
Jar Jar is on his way to the Gungan city, Master.
Do you think the queen's idea will work?
I'm... I'm sorry for my behavior, Master.
It's not my place to disagree with you about the boy.
And I am grateful you think I'm ready to take the trials.
Do you think they have been taken to the camps?
And there's an even bigger danger.
If the viceroy escapes,
Your Highness, he will return with another droid army.
Nooooooooooooo!!!!!!!
No.
Yes, Master.
Qui-Gon believed in him.
Master Yoda, I gave Qui-Gon my word. I will train Anakin.
Without the approval of the council if I must.
The council has granted me permission to train you.
You will be a Jedi. I promise.
You seem a little on edge.
I haven't felt you this tense since,
since we fell into that nest of gundarks.
Oh... yes. *laughs*
You're sweating. Relax. Take a deep breath.
Good to see you again, Jar Jar.
It's a great pleasure to see you again, milady.
Our presence here will be invisible, milady, I can assure you.
We're here to protect you, senator. Not to start an investigation.
We will not exceed our mandate, my young Padawan learner.
We will not go through this exercise again, Anakin.
And you will pay attention to my lead.
What?
We will do exactly as the council has instructed.
And you will learn your place, young one.
You're focusing on the negative, Anakin.
Be mindful of your thoughts.
She was pleased to see us. Now, let's check the security.
Captain Typho has more than enough men downstairs.
No assassin would try that way. Any activity up here?
What's going on?
What is she thinking?
There are many other ways to kill a senator.
You're using her as bait.
It's too risky.
Besides, your senses aren't that attuned, my young apprentice.
Possibly.
You look tired.
Because of your mother?
Dreams pass in time.
Be mindful of your thoughts, Anakin.
They betray you. You've made a commitment to the Jedi Order,
a commitment not easily broken.
And don't forget, she's a politician, and they're not to be trusted.
It is my experience that senators focus
only on pleasing those who fund their campaigns.
And they're in no means scared of forgetting
the niceties of democracy in order to get those funds.
Palpatine is a politician.
I have observed that he is very clever in following the passions
an prejudices of the senators.
I sense it too.
Ah!
What took you so long?
There he is.
If you spent as much time practicing your saber techniques as you do your wit,
you would rival Master Yoda as a swordsman.
Only in your mind my very young apprentice.
Pull up, Anakin. Pull up!
Waah! You know I don't like it when you do that.
I don't mind the flying, but what you're doing is suicide!
Anakin! How many times have I told you...
Ah!... Stay away from power couplings!
That was good!
Where are you going? He went that way.
Well, you've lost him.
That was some shortcut, Anakin.
He went completely the other way. Once again you've proved...
I hate it when he does that.
Anakin!
Patience. Use the Force. Think.
He went in there to hide, not to run.
Next time, try not to lose it.
This weapon is your life.
Why do I get the feeling you're going to be the death of me?
Then why don't you listen to me?
Can you see him?
In that case, be extra careful. Go and find her.
For a drink.
Thank you.
You don't want to sell me deathsticks.
You want to go home and rethink your life.
Do you know who it was you were trying to kill?
And who hired you?
Toxic dart.
What about Senator Amidala?
She will still need protecting.
I am concerned for my Padawan.
He is not ready to be given this assignment on his own yet.
But he still has much to learn, Master.
His abilities have made him, well... arrogant.
Anakin.
Don't do anything without first consulting either myself or the council.
I'll get to the bottom of this plot quickly, milady.
You'll be back here in no time.
Anakin, may the Force be with you.
I do hope he doesn't try anything foolish.
Hello, Dex.
Oh, yes. Thank you.
*laughs*
You can tell me what this is.
Can you tell me where it came from? Thank you.
I wonder why it didn't show up in the analysis archives.
Well, if droids could think,
there'd be none of here, would there?
Kamino. I'm not familiar with it. Is it in the Republic?
Cloners. Are they friendly?
Depends on what, Dex?
Hmmm.
Yes, yes, I did.
Yes, um, I'm looking for a planetary system called Kamino.
It doesn't show up on the archive charts.
According to my information,
it should appear in the quadrant here just south of the Rishi Maze.
Impossible. Perhaps the archives are incomplete.
Hello. I'm sorry to disturb you, Master.
I'm looking for a planet described to me by an old friend.
I trust him, but the systems don't show on the archive maps.
It ought to be... here. But it isn't.
Gravity is pulling all the stars in the area towards this spot.
But, Master Yoda, who could empty information from the archives?
That's impossible, isn't it?
There is is, R4, right where it should be. Our missing planet Kamino.
I'm expected?
Obi-Wan Kenobi.
That's... good news.
I'm sorry. S... Master...?
Master Sifo-Dyas was killed nearly ten years ago.
The army?
Tell me, Prime Minister.
When my master first contacted you about the army,
did, did he say who it was for?
That's why I'm here.
Very impressive.
You mentioned growth acceleration.
I see.
And who was the original host?
And where is this bounty hunter now?
Unaltered?
I should very much like to meet this Jango Fett.
Your clones are very impressive. You must be very proud.
Ever made your way as far into the interior as Coruscant?
Recently?
Then you must know Master Sifo-Dyas.
Sifo-Dyas. Is he not the Jedi who hired you for this job?
Really?
Curious.
I look forward to seeing them in action.
Thank you for your time, Jango.
I won't forget, and thank you.
R4! Scramble code five to Coruscant, care of the old folks' home!
I have successfully made contact with the prime minister of Kamino.
They are using a bounty hunter named Jango Fett to create a clone army.
I have a strong feeling that this bounty hunter is the assassin we're looking for.
No, Master. There appears to be no motive.
Yes, Master.
They say Master Sifo-Dyas placed an order
for a clone army at the request of the Senate almost ten years ago.
I was under the impression he was killed before that.
Did the council ever authorize the creation of a clone army?
Yes, Master. I will report back when I have him.
Oh, not good.
Seismic charges! Stand by.
Oh, blast! This is why I hate flying!
R4, prepare to jettison the spare parts cannisters.
Fire them now!
The transmitter is working, but we're not receiving a return signal.
Coruscant's too far. R4, can you boost the power?
We'll have to try something else.
Maybe we can contact Anakin on Naboo. It's much closer.
Anakin. Anakin, do you copy? This is Obi-Wan Kenobi. Anakin?
He's not on Naboo, R4.
I'm going to try and widen the range.
I do hope nothing's happened to him.
That's Anakin's tracking signal, all right, but it's coming from Tatooine.
What in the blazes is he doing there? I told him to stay on Naboo.
We haven't got much time. Anakin? Anakin, do you copy?
This is Obi-Wan Kenobi.
*as a hologram* Coo.. Obi.... wa...
Retransmit this message... Anakin, do you copy? Anakin...
My long range... has been knocked out. Retransmit this message to Coruscant.
*again as a hologram*
Anakin, my long range transmitter has been knocked out.
Retransmit this message to Coruscant.
I have tracked the bounty hunter, Jango Fett,
to the droid founderies on Geonosis.
The Trade Federation is to take delivery of a
droid army here and it is clear that Viceroy Gunray
is behind the assassination attempts on Senator Amidala.
The Commerce Guilds and the Corporate Alliance
have both pledged their armies to Count Dooku
and are forming a... Wait.... Wait... Ugh!
Traitor.
I thought you were the leader here, Dooku.
Well, I hope it doesn't take too long. I have work to do.
I've been tracking a bounty hunter named Jango Fett. Do you know him?
Well, who can blame them? But he is here, I can assure you.
Qui-Gon Jinn would never join you.
The truth?
No, that's not possible. The Jedi would be aware of it.
I don't believe you.
*nods sadly* I'll never join you, Dooku.
I was beginning to wonder if you'd got my message.
Good job.
Just relax. Concentrate.
She seems to be on top of things.
Hold on!
Good call, my young Padawan.
Attack those Federation starships!
Quickly!
Look over there!
There isn't time! Anakin and I can handle this!
Anakin! Don't let your personal feelings get in the way!
Follow that speeder!
I can't take Dooku alone! I need you!
If we catch him, we can end this war right now!
We have a job to do!
You will be expelled from the Jedi order!
Come to your senses!
What do you think Padmé would do were she in your position?
We'll take him together. You go in slowly on the left...
No, Anakin! No! No!
I don't think so.
Anakin!
Do you believe what Count Dooku said about Sidious controlling the senate?
It doesn't feel right.
On his way to Naboo,
escorting Senator Amidala home.
I have to admit that without the clones,
it would not have been a victory.
