Water wars.
Tensions run high
on the ocean world of Mon Calamari,
where two separate peoples--
the aggressive, squidlike Quarren
and their peaceful neighbor, the Mon Calamari--
struggle to maintain a fragile coexistence.
Adding to this strife,
the King of the Mon Calamari
has been found mysteriously murdered,
leaving his young son,
prince Lee-Char,
to guide his people alone.
But the Quarren race will not accept
the new ruler as their King.
Senator Amidala and her jedi bodyguard
have arrived to help resolve the matter
and to avoid plunging the planet into civil war.
The world prospered under our rule.
It's time for a change!
The prince's rule
has been preordained.
Down with this monarchy!
We'll defend our right
for a Mon Cala King.
We want a Quarren King.
Down with the Mon Cala.
Power to the Quarren!
I am dedicated to serving the Quarren
as well as my own people, the Mon Calamari.
Silence!
You haven't earned the right to speak at this gathering.
You have no say in the matter, ambassador.
You are only here as an observer
for the separatists.
Do not forget I am here
at the request of the Quarren
because you, captain,
demanded the presence
Such a disgrace. I'll give you a lesson in manners.
Prince Lee-Char will bring the planet to ruin.
The boy has neither the experience
nor the knowledge to lead.
Please.
You're here to find a compromise.
What can the Republic do
to help keep the peace?
This is a matter
between the Quarren and the Mon Cala.
Yeah, who asked you?
The Republic has no place here.
Down with the Republic!
[People shouting angrily]
We refuse to support the coronation of another Mon Cala King.
I'm sorry.
Ambassador?
It is my opinion
the Quarren have no further business here.
Come on, captain Ackbar. We have to contact Master Yoda.
Your father was my trusted friend.
I am sorry for your loss.
This civil war,
is it inevitable?
Sadly so, Master Yoda.
The separatist ambassador
came here to stir up the Quarren,
and that's exactly what he did.
It's only a matter of time
before the Quarren withdraw from the Republic.
I suspect behind this,
Count Dooku is.
The Mon Calamari system
is still part of the Republic.
This planet must not fall into separatist hands.
I'll dispatch Master Fisto and your padawan Tano
along with a company of clones.
They'll be at your side by day's end.
In the meantime, captain,
assemble the Mon Cala troops,
and prepare for Quarren assault.
The toops are being assembled, senator.
Let's hope we don't need them, captain.
I'm entrusting the safety of prince Lee-Char
to your hands.
You must remain at his side at all times
as his personal bodyguard.
Senator, if the boy is--
we are on the verge of a civil war, captain,
and that boy is the supreme commander
of Mon Cala's military.
It's up to you to see that he remains safe
and that he can handle the job.
With due respect, senator,
the prince is not ready to lead an army.
He needs training.
You have your orders, captain.
You are right, captain.
I am not trained to lead an army.
Come on, your highness.
We have a war to win.
The army has assembled, Count Dooku.
Well done, Tamson.
What about the Quarren leader?
The Quarren leader is on board 100%.
He will deliver the planet into your hands,
just as you said he would.
Very good, commander.
In the end, control of this planet
will be in your hands.
Proceed as planned.
In this time of crisis,
our King has something to say.
I know many of you agree with the Quarren
that I am too young to rule.
But I assure you I will use
all my strength and all my abilities
to lead us through this challenge.
We are a great people,
and I will do all I can
to negotiate peace without bloodshed.
I do not believe the Quarren will attack.
Attack!
It's an attack. Take cover.
The prince. The prince is here!
He's joining the battle.
Captain.
What are your orders, your highness?
Stay where you are,
and hold the line.
If I may suggest, captain,
we should take the prince to a safer place
until the Republic reinforcements arrive.
That's impossible.
That is a decision only the prince can make.
He is our leader.
This is horrible.
Your highness, this is not a wise decision.
And you know it.
Forget your tradition.
This is war.
Majesty?
I have to stay here with my people.
Press your attack, captain.
Soldiers of Mon Calamari, this is your home.
Do not let it fall.
I need to get some troops behind those separatist droids.
Come on; I know a shortcut.
We should come out right behind them.
Good plan.
Look out!
What do we do now?
Well, we got to come up with another plan.
Any ideas?
Our only choice now
is to wait for the jedi reinforcements.
Blue leader standing by. Red leader standing by.
All squadron are in position, general Fisto.
You may deploy when ready.
Commencing deployment.
Three.
Two.
One.
Mark.
Reinforcements. Finally.
Anakin, I'm going to look for senator Tills.
Hopefully, she's still alive.
Be careful.
Look out!
Stay down, and don't move.
Hear that?
They're cheering for you.
They're cheering for them.
Then make it for you.
Come on.
Lead.
You called for backup?
I had it under Control, snips.
I knew you'd say that.
Anakin, I need you down here.
It's senator Tills.
I need help getting her to safety.
We're at the base of the palace.
And hurry.
Ahsoka, cover the prince.
I'm going to the senators.
Got it, Master.
- Grab on! - Good idea.
Get us out of here!
Hang on.
I am. I am.
I'm slipping.
Look out! They're coming right at us.
I'm letting go.
Look out! Behind you!
As long as we're in the tube, we're safe.
Look, the prince.
Hurry.
They are returning to their ships.
We are lucky to have survived
the first assault.
They could have easily overrun us with their droids.
The droids are taking up position in the coral,
probably amassing for another assault.
Why would they hide in the coral?
Your aqua droids are no match for the Mon Calamari.
What makes you think these secret weapons
you've brought from your home world
will fare any better?
They are half machine, half monster.
We call them hydroid medusas.
They are invincible.
- Prince Lee-Char. - Senator Tills.
I'm glad to see you're safe.
You must prepare to dictate terms
for a Quarren surrender.
Surrender?
Not so fast, senator.
I know the Quarren.
They won't surrender.
We may have won the first battle, your highness,
but it won't be the last.
It's only a matter of time
before they launch another assault.
I sense the real battle
is about to begin.
We have no defence against those.
This isn't gonna be easy.
All troops, battle stations!
Do not fire until the prince gives the command.
Steady. Steady.
Not yet.
- Now, your highness. - Attack!
Asoka, find a way out of here.
Prince, where's somewhere safe?
We can't retreat, not now.
We've got to be brave.
There's a time to attack
and a time to retreat,
and now is not the time to be brave.
The safest place is in the caves.
I agree, your highness.
Follow me.
Anakin, go. I'll hold them off.
Come on. Keep going. Don't stop.
Search the area for survivors.
Secure the perimeter.
What took your squids so long?
I didn't think you and your separatist droids
would need backup.
Your reputation is a little exaggerated.
Exaggeration is a weapon of war.
It's what helped deliver the enemy into your hands.
Then let's be thankful this is our day,
a victorious day that--
disobey a command from Count Dooku again,
and I will kill you where you stand.
Thank to you padawan Tano, and to these brave soldiers.
I wish I could have done more for my people.
Maybe then we would have been spared all of this,
the illusion that I could actually lead
in my father's place.
Your father would be proud of you.
Proud?
We lost.
Today you learn the hardest lesson
a commander can learn:
How to live and fight another day.
A goverment toppled by civil war!
Refusing to accept prince Lee-Char
as the next ruler of Mon Cala,
the Quarren people join the separatist alliance
and launch an all-out attack on the Mon Calamari.
Caught unprepared, the young prince and his jedi protectors
are quickly overwhelmed and forced to retreat
into caves far below the capital city,
leaving Count Dooku and his allies
to plan their next move.
And the young prince,
has he been caured?
No, my lord.
Unfortunately, he escaped capture
and is hiding with what's left of the jedi and their army.
Do not underestimate this boy, Tamson.
He must not become a symbol
for the Mon Calamari people to rally behind.
This child is but a coward.
He is no leader.
That is irrelevant.
The whispering of his name can rekindle hope,
and hope is something we cannot allow
our enemy to possess.
Excuse me, Count Dooku,
but what of the prisoners?
They are to be processed.
Internment camps have been set up below the city.
Gather the rabble there.
Then set them to work.
Surely you do not mean all of them,
the women and children--
are to be sent as well.
Is that understood?
Yes, my lord.
Tamson, I'm sending you reinforcements.
Hold them in reserve
and wait for the Republic's next move.
As you wish, Count Dooku.
We lost conctat with all clone troopers
and Mon Cala soldiers.
The Quarren ambushed us.
They were ready to attack long before
the peace talks came to an end.
Desperate, the situation is.
[Breaking up] Reinforce your position with clones.
We can--
Master, please repeat.
Are you sending reinforcements?
You're breaking up.
Are they coming?
I don't know.
But they know our situation.
They must know to send help.
Yeah, but it may take them a while to get here.
We're gonna have to get ourselves to the surface
and get off this rock.
I will not leave my people to die.
With all due respect, your highness,
if we stay, we all die.
We must reach the surface and
see if our ship is still there.
The prince will decide our course of action.
I think it is best for us to try and escape using your ship.
As you wish, your highness.
Follow me.
It will take days to *** another clone regiment
for underwater combat.
Days our friends do not have.
Perhaps we should look to armies
other than clones to help our cause.
What do you suggest?
A suitable ally we must find
to help with this mission.
Yes, an underwater race that
has a standing army
and is close enough to send help quickly.
Naboo?
Yes, to the gungans we must look.
We shall contact them immediately.
There's a lot of enemy troops between us and the surface.
It's no problem.
I just hope you're a fast swimmer.
Says the boy from the desert planet.
Are you certain your ship is still there?
There's only one way to find out.
I'll create a diversion so
you can get past those patrols.
All right, try to get a mini sub or two.
It'll help us speed to the surface.
No problem.
Asoka, you are first.
Take the prince and senator Tills.
Got it.
Sir, the jedi have reappeared with the prince.
They are headed to the surface.
Predictable.
Let them get within sight of their ship.
I wanthem to watch their hope
sink to the bottom of the sea.
There's the ship.
Still in one piece.
Spring the trap.
Well, prince how do you feel about fighting again?
Master jedi, we're too vulnerable here.
We must reach the seafloor.
Grab on to the debris.
Let it carry you to the bottom.
I think I'm getting seasick.
- Back so soon? -Yeah, the ship had some problems.
I can see that...
All around me.
This is our only chance.
We need to split up
and hide the prince's whereabouts.
I'm not sure that's the best strategy.
I'm sure.
Captain Ackbar's words are my own.
It will give us the best chances
of surviving if we split up.
As you wish.
Ahsoka, you and the prince go with Kit
and take the clones.
I'll take the senators and captain Ackbar.
Lay low.
Our only hope is that Master Yoda can send help in time.
No, prince Lee-Char is our only hope.
Master Yoda, sir
to what's we owin' the pleasure of your transmission?
Your help, the Republic needs.
Something's a-tellin' mesa big help you need, no?
Senator Amidala, your longtime ally,
trapped on an occupied planet, she is.
Wesa need some thinking time
to respond to deesa news.
Thinking?
Nosa thinking!
Mesa thinking padme would help us--
has helped us, big-time!
Wesa gots to help her now!
Yousa right.
Thinking time's-a done!
Wesa need to be leaving now.
I don't think we've been followed.
Commander Monnk, post a lookout.
We have no army, and we don't know
if reinforcements are coming.
What are our options?
We sit tight.
There's not much we can do.
Sir, you'd better come see this.
So many prisoners. Where are they taking them?
To become slaves.
I can't believe Nossor Ri
and the Quarren agreed to this.
Count Dooku rules here for now,
not the Quarren.
What you see, prince,
is the future of all the people on this world,
Mon Cala and Quarren...
All slaves for Count Dooku.
Captain Ackbar, which of these structures houses
the city's interplanetary scanners?
It's over there, across the square.
Why?
Well, just in case Master Yoda is sending reinforcements,
I thought it'd be helpful if
the enemy couldn't tell they were coming.
If we knock out those sensors,
they won't see our reinforcements
until they're right on top of the city.
Assuming someone is coming.
I am sure Master Yoda will find a way to send help.
Anakin, it's your move.
Follow me.
There's must be something more I can do.
I know it's hard,
but you have to be patient.
But you saw my people.
I've failed them.
No.
Remember captain Ackbar's words:
You are the hope of your people.
As long as you live,
they will endure.
I need an army.
We have to fight back.
You don't have to carry a sword to be powerful.
Some leaders' strength is inspiring greatness in others.
But my people don't even know I'm alive.
How can I inspire them
if they think I'm dead?
Okay, just cover me. I'm gonna have to concentrate.
Concentrate?
Concentrate on what?
Bringing that building down.
Anakin, hurry!
What's happening? Report!
We've lost all radar
and sonar scanning, sir.
Reestablish the connections.
We cannot, sir.
Why not?
The building that housed the radar is gone.
We're blind.
Prepare for an attack!
But there was nothing on the scope prior to the attack.
That is precisely why we must assume
an attack is imminent!
Guards, to me!
Where are you going?
To find that meddling prince
and his jedi friends.
At least we're taking attention away from the prince.
Coda, the prince.
Hurry!
The prince is alive!
Look there!
People of Mon Cala,
all people of Mon Cala who would not be slaves, have hope!
We will fight for you, prince!
You will not be prisoners much longer.
Okay, I think the show is over.
The guards will be coming.
We have to go.
Wesa ready.
Gungans. The tide has turned in our favor.
Let's free my people.
Attack!
Ani. Mesa so happy to see you.
Perfect timing, Jar-Jar.
Whassa?
Mesa can't hear so good
since we submergify!
Tamson... Tamson, come in.
Where are you?
The Republic reinforcements
are overwhelming our defenses.
We must retreat.
We must retreat now!
I warned you this attack was coming.
Where are the jedi concentrating their attack?
There are two groups of jedi,
one in the lower city center
and two releasing the prisoners near the coral base.
The prisoners?
The prince must be with them.
I'm committing the reinforcements
that Count Dooku sent to the attack.
He will not escape this time.
Churn them up!
Stay in the center. There's less turbulence.
Anakin!
Skywalker! We've got one chance!
Asoka stay with the prince.
I'll hold him off.
Sever one of the legs!
Find the prince! Find him!
Are you and I are the only ones left.
I'm sorry, Lee-Char.
I know what I must do.
I know my people need me.
I just don't know how to win this war.
Look, I know you're scared,
but you can't let your fear control you.
Aren't you scared?
I used to be, all the time,
until I realized that
if you make decisions out of fear,
you're more likely to be wrong.
I will unify Mon Cala again.
I promise.
We have to go.
