Season 1 / Episode 17 : " Blue Shadow Vius "
Battle droids on Naboo.
As the Separatist rebellion rages through the galaxy,
even peaceful planets are threatened.
Following the discovery of Separatist droids wandering the grassy wasteland,
Naboo is once again on high alert.
Fearing their home is facing another invasion,
Senator Amidala and Representative Binks
race to Naboo to assess the situation.
Meanwhile, near the Gungan swamplands,
an even graver threat is about to be discovered.
We came as soon as we could, My Lady. Have you found any more droids?
Only the three. But you can be sure they aren't tourists.
I need you to convince the Senate or the Jedi Council
or whoever is in charge of this terrible war that we are threatened.
They'll need more proof.
Finding a couple of battle droids will not be enough.
Captain Typho, the battle droid is ready for analysis.
Have you been able to retrieve any information?
Unfortunately, the Naboo security who discovered them
prefer to shoot first and retrieve data later.
If they were found in the grasslands,
where'd they pick up all this mud?
Add that to our very long list of questions.
Yummy-yummy.
I'm getting a bad feeling about this. With your permission, Senator Padmé,
I would like to shut down before I get sensory overload.
- Permission denied. - Denied?
3PO, you may be able to get some information out of him.
Cannot see.
Where am I?
You are in very good hands on board a Separatist ship.
Count Dooku himself intends to reward you for your bravery.
- Bravery? - For your assignment on Naboo.
Do try to activate what's left of your memory.
We all want to hear your tale of medical heroics.
Virus.
Yes, the virus.
You do remember. Please continue.
A small amount leaked out.
Must contain.
Naboo cannot know.
Lab must remain secret.
A secret lab on Naboo? Where? You must...
It is a secret.
This is no Separatist ship.
Unless you want to become a box of spare parts,
you'll tell us where that lab is.
- The lab is secret. - Look out.
We'll never get any information out of him now.
Meesa sorry.
It was accident.
Is...
- This what you're after? - Meesa love him.
He's a very, very good tongue grabbing.
Yousa finden in one placen.
Where?
In the mud under the perlote tree.
Like the mud on this droid.
The eastern swamps.
I think Jar Jar just found out the location of that lab.
They're planning an attack on Naboo. It's the only explanation.
Delicate the situation is.
Two Jedi we will send.
May I recommend General Kenobi and General Skywalker?
Relations with the Gungans are a little tense right now,
but they trust General Kenobi like one of their own.
Send them we will.
I want as much information as possible before the Jedi arrive.
See if you and 3PO can download any of the other battle droid's memory.
I'm going to find that lab.
Are you sure that's wise?
Come on, Jar Jar.
Back!
That water gone poodoo.
This is muy bad.
This is bombad.
- Whatsa happen to them? - It's the plague.
We're definitely getting close.
- Whosa are you? - What you doing?
Why yousa here?
Whassa yousa thinkin'?
Don't move. I don't want to hurt you.
Jar Jar, put your helmet back on.
Yousa okeyday. It's not in the air, it's in the water.
Who are you?
Meesa Peppi Bow.
We think the virus that made your animals sick
came from the perlote trees.
Yousa follow thisa river. Yousa finda yousa perlote.
Meesa take you.
No, Peppi, you stay here.
You'll be going home soon, I promise.
I'll send some soldiers to pick you up and take you back to Theed.
Keep your eyes open.
Look for anything out of the ordinary.
I suppose one can never have too many lab rats.
Please, escort our guests inside.
Roger roger.
A hatch.
Captain Typho, I think we're standing right on top of the lab.
I need a geo scan of coordinates SP127.
No way we're going to open this.
- We'll just have to... - Freeze.
Hold it right there.
Yousa let us go.
Who are you? Why are you holding us?
Wonderful specimens.
What's a life-form like you
doing in a swamp like this?
I was about to ask you the same thing.
Thanks to the support of my compassionate friends
in the Separatist Alliance,
I am creating life.
Howsa yousa creating life?
I'm so pleased you inquired.
A demonstration is in order.
Allow me to present
the return of the infamous
blue shadow virus.
The blue shadow virus?
I thought that deadly disease was extinct.
Yes, it was wiped from the galaxy generations ago,
but I have given it life once again.
Yousa not creating life. Yousa taking life.
Yousa poisoned the gungan water.
Unfortunately,
the blue shadow virus, in its natural form,
thrives only in water
until I improved upon that weakness.
Your eyes do not deceive you.
I have perfected an airborne strain
of the blue shadow virus.
This is the last of the bombs, doctor.
I'm well aware this is the last. You think I'd lose count?
The virus in its gaseous forms
combined with these bombs
will release the blue shadow virus
back into the galaxy,
more potent than ever before.
Are you insane?
It's a deadly disease.
No life-forms are immune to it.
That's why it was eradicated.
You mean murdered.
Take this away.
Meanwhile, as we speak,
thousands and thousands of so-called
superior life-forms
are spreading their disease of war
throughout the galaxy.
Perhaps they are the ones who should be eradicated.
General Kenobi, Anakin, we're so glad...
Where's Senator Amidala?
- She went to look for the lab. - And you let her go?
Senator Padmé can be very hard to stop once she has made up her mind.
- Good point. I know what you mean. - This is Peppi Bow.
She was the last person to see them.
- Padmé sent her here to safety. - Theysa looking for the sick maker.
- "They"? - Representative Binks was with her.
Go with the Gungan. See if you can find them.
You've got it, Master.
Why didn't you send someone to look for them?
Considering the latest developments, we thought it was best to wait for you.
What latest developments?
We did a robo-lobotomy on the battle droids
and came up with this piece of memory.
Who is that?
Dr. Nuvo Vindi,
the senior medic for the Perma families.
He disappeared ten years ago.
Good news, my soulless automaton friends.
We now have enough of the blue shadow virus
- to start filling the bombs.
He said "bombs."
We will only need to send one bomb
to each key star system.
Work quickly. I want them ready to deliver...
If those bombs get delivered, we'll be facing a galaxy-wide plague.
The war will be the least of our worries.
There is some good news.
Senator Amidala found the lab.
She sent us the coordinates before she disappeared.
We've managed to get a geo scan of the area.
- It's enormous. - It looks like there're 3 entry points:
here, here, and here.
This appears to be the main lab.
And the bombs?
There seems to be an above average amount of radiation
in this area.
It's likely where they're being assembled.
If Padmé has alerted them to our presence in any way...
If Padmé's in there, and then we go in guns a-blazin', she may get killed.
It is a risk we have to take.
Doctor Vindi and those bombs must not leave the lab.
And if they or we detonate one during the attack?
Better to have one planet infected than the entire galaxy.
These the ship belonging to them.
So where are they?
Their tracks end here.
Peppi, it's a scope.
Don't let them see you.
- Where are they? - Patience.
They'll be here in a moment. You seem a bit on edge.
There's a good chance we're about to destroy all life on this planet,
including ours and the Senator's, so yes, I'm a bit on edge.
- Why aren't you? - I'm better at hiding it.
Master, are you there? - Did you find her?
Negative. I'm pretty sure she's inside the lab.
The whole area is wired with pressure sensors.
There's no way to get in without being detected.
- But I'm more than happy to... - Do not attempt to get inside.
I need you to detonate a bunker bomb at the south end of the facility.
It should cause a nice distraction and seal off the bomb area
while we come in through the hatches.
You can count on me.
Rex and his men will be right behind you.
They'll have your back.
Come on. We'd better hurry.
Padmé may be lost, Anakin.
Don't risk the mission trying to rescue her.
I'll take care of the bombs. You focus on the doctor.
I know what's at stake here.
Now!
We have a breach!
All droids to hatch number one!
Friends of yours, I assume.
They arrived quicker than I would've thought.
- Meesa come too? - No.
Stay here and make sure no one escapes.
Okidee.
It's quiet in here.
Looks like Ahsoka's distraction is working.
Forward! Come on!
Fall back!
Take another step and your friends die.
Drop your weapons.
Wait!
Do as he says.
I can't hold them.
Need some help?
So good to see you, Master Kenobi.
I realize I won't be able to hold you for long, Jedi.
That is why I'm going to give you a choice.
Fine with me, as long as one of the options is killing you.
How about capture me
or save your friends?
Are you okay?
Ani, how about the next time you rescue me
before you kill all the battle droids?
A little "thank you" would go a long way.
Things are going well.
The lab is secure, and hopefully Anakin has reached Padmé by now.
I'll get the bombs.
I'll keep the droids occupied.
Grab your blasters. We need to find that doctor.
Well, looks like the bomb room.
Yes, and luckily, they appear inactive.
I spoke too soon. Get these deactivated now!
Anakin, I'm guessing you didn't capture the doctor.
I'm working on it. Do you have the bombs?
I'm working on it. Dr. Vindi has remotely activated the bombs.
- They're counting down. - That's great.
And on top of that, one of them seems to be missing.
- It's down here somewhere. - Ahsoka, we've got another situation.
Send all the clones to search the facility.
- We've got a mis... - Master?
We've got a missing bomb and a trigger happy mad doctor on the loose.
Missing bomb? I saw Dr. Vindi give a little droid a bomb.
You guys split up. Find that droid.
You heard him. Let's move!
Jedi!
Leaving so soon, doctor?
You are running out of time.
Catch!
Obi-Wan, Dr. Vindi's escaping! He's at the landing platform.
All right. I'm on my way.
Something smells good in here.
Hey, there, little guy.
How about you hand that over to me?
He's getting away!
Ahsoka, I found the last bomb.
Stay there. I'll get the bomb squad.
Almost got it.
Don't shoot. If he drops one of those vials, we're finished.
No, no-sa!
You're under arrest, Dr. Vindi.
The bomb's going off, and we're all going to die!
Yeah, die!
What happened?
Deactivated. Plenty of time to spare.
Plenty of...
- Ahsoka, are you there? - I'm here, Master.
The bomb has been deactivated. Did you find Vindi?
Deactivated as well. Have you seen Padmé?
She's right next to me.
I'm okay too. Thanks for asking.
