It is 0:01:30.200 --> 0:01:34.120 one year before the Battle of Yavin. A message alert 0:01:34.360 --> 0:01:39.240 flashes at Luthen's shop. Meanwhile, Lannie is heading into the 0:01:39.319 --> 0:01:43.319 office while Luthen and Claire are also preparing for some 0:01:43.360 --> 0:01:46.679 sort of operation. It's clear that a bunch of different 0:01:46.760 --> 0:01:50.880 strands are converging. And remember this is now some time 0:01:51.000 --> 0:01:55.480 after mon Mathma has been spirited off the planet. The 0:01:55.520 --> 0:01:59.960 Empire is really cracking down now, particularly on Coruscant, the capitol, 0:02:00.440 --> 0:02:06.680 and everybody is on edge. Luthan and Clea are armed, 0:02:07.320 --> 0:02:10.520 and Luthan all but says goodbye to her, like every 0:02:10.560 --> 0:02:14.399 time they part. You get the feeling certainly that Luthan thinks, 0:02:14.880 --> 0:02:16.959 who knows, maybe I don't come back, maybe we don't 0:02:16.960 --> 0:02:17.359 come back. 0:02:17.400 --> 0:02:20.359 Because it's so tense right now. He goes to meet Lonnie. 0:02:20.960 --> 0:02:24.080 Lonnie says Deirdre is about to launch a mission aimed 0:02:24.240 --> 0:02:29.880 at finding spies, namely Luthan's network, who they're focused on. 0:02:30.680 --> 0:02:35.120 And worse, Lonnie says, I'm burned. It's only a matter 0:02:35.160 --> 0:02:39.200 of time before, like a matter of hours really before 0:02:39.240 --> 0:02:41.760 they before they know it's me, and I need to 0:02:41.800 --> 0:02:43.600 get out. I need to get out now, because we've 0:02:43.639 --> 0:02:46.239 got maybe I don't know, an hour to an hour 0:02:46.280 --> 0:02:48.960 and a half before they know it's me. And he's like, 0:02:49.000 --> 0:02:50.360 I need to get out of here. We need to 0:02:50.400 --> 0:02:54.920 discuss my exit strategy, which you had promised me, and you. 0:02:55.080 --> 0:02:56.120 Need we need to discress. 0:02:56.760 --> 0:03:00.320 I got to get my family out and tells me right, 0:03:00.360 --> 0:03:04.080 and he tells Luthen, here's here's what's going on. I've 0:03:04.120 --> 0:03:07.400 had Deirdre's computer codes for a year. I've been in 0:03:07.639 --> 0:03:11.160 across all of her messages, everything on her computer. I 0:03:11.200 --> 0:03:13.640 didn't tell you because I knew if I told you, you 0:03:13.600 --> 0:03:16.160 would have pushed me to use it sooner. Which, by 0:03:16.160 --> 0:03:18.400 the way, Lonnie, you probably should have told him, because 0:03:18.919 --> 0:03:21.239 maybe what happens now would not have happened any. 0:03:21.240 --> 0:03:23.240 If you'd have given him a little bit more leeway, 0:03:23.360 --> 0:03:25.160 like yea little bit more lead in a little bit 0:03:25.200 --> 0:03:26.000 more knowledge. 0:03:26.400 --> 0:03:32.799 So Lonnie found something huge, like physically huge and uh 0:03:33.000 --> 0:03:37.480 and in terms of galactic politics huge. Uh it is 0:03:38.160 --> 0:03:40.600 we were about to found out find out the shadow 0:03:40.680 --> 0:03:43.480 of the Death Star in information and intelligence. 0:03:44.160 --> 0:03:45.160 And he says. 0:03:46.720 --> 0:03:50.480 Basically because Luthan is like, well, how do you know 0:03:51.040 --> 0:03:52.440 that they're not on you right now? And he says, 0:03:52.440 --> 0:03:53.720 if they were on me right now, I'd be dead, 0:03:54.520 --> 0:03:57.160 I'd be gone. And so then Luthen pushes, what is 0:03:57.200 --> 0:03:59.320 this thing? What did you find? What are you talking about? 0:03:59.360 --> 0:04:03.720 And so Lonnie in a rush puts all the pieces together. Gorman, 0:04:03.880 --> 0:04:08.760 what did we need on Gorman, the calkite Jetta, the crystals, 0:04:08.880 --> 0:04:11.280 the kyber on Jetta, what did we need that for? 0:04:11.760 --> 0:04:15.360 Scaref is involved in this. Also, there's an imperial and 0:04:15.640 --> 0:04:18.440 scientist named Galen Er. So it all ties back to 0:04:18.560 --> 0:04:24.839 some massive weapons project, some huge super weapon that the 0:04:24.880 --> 0:04:28.200 Empire is making, and they needed all these ingredients from 0:04:28.240 --> 0:04:31.160 these different planets in different places to put this all together. 0:04:32.279 --> 0:04:34.400 And then Luthen tells Lannie, Okay, I'll get. 0:04:34.240 --> 0:04:34.880 You to Yavin. 0:04:35.000 --> 0:04:37.640 We'll get you out of here once I get what 0:04:37.760 --> 0:04:42.520 I need, he says, and then off camera he kills Lannie. 0:04:42.640 --> 0:04:43.360 He shoots him. 0:04:43.720 --> 0:04:48.640 And you know, I mean, luthn Is has been ruthless. 0:04:49.160 --> 0:04:52.679 He killed Tay, He's done stuff. This is the first 0:04:52.680 --> 0:04:56.239 time where I'm like, wow, I don't know about this one, Luthan, 0:04:57.160 --> 0:04:59.640 I really don't. I really don't know about this one, 0:04:59.680 --> 0:05:05.400 because Lannie he is part of the Empire now every 0:05:05.480 --> 0:05:09.560 turn he has been there, and every turn. You know, 0:05:09.720 --> 0:05:13.800 it was him that put Luthan on the double agent 0:05:14.000 --> 0:05:18.599 in bail Organa's group that was gonna arrest man Mathma 0:05:18.680 --> 0:05:22.800 before she could make the speech right afterwards, and it 0:05:22.880 --> 0:05:25.800 was him feeding him information all the time about Gorman, 0:05:25.920 --> 0:05:28.719 letting him know something's going on Gorman. And now here 0:05:28.760 --> 0:05:32.599 he is giving you all the evidence you need to 0:05:32.680 --> 0:05:35.600 put together the Death Star project to understand that the 0:05:35.640 --> 0:05:38.920 Empire is working on this super weapon, and you kill him. 0:05:38.920 --> 0:05:40.880 I think it's pretty tough. I think it's pretty great. 0:05:41.200 --> 0:05:45.320 I think it's brutal, But I will say Luthen at 0:05:45.320 --> 0:05:49.520 this point has realized like, this is the thing, this 0:05:49.720 --> 0:05:53.280 is the thing I gotta make sure no one else 0:05:53.320 --> 0:05:55.480 finds out about. And they know that they have this 0:05:55.640 --> 0:05:58.760 torture instrument and the doctor who can torture info out 0:05:58.760 --> 0:06:01.159 of people. And I think this is a tying up, 0:06:01.200 --> 0:06:03.520 loose sentence, but it is incredibly. 0:06:03.040 --> 0:06:06.040 Ruthless and shows you just how committed. 0:06:06.640 --> 0:06:11.080 I also think is we saw him begin to crack 0:06:11.160 --> 0:06:14.880 up in the previous three episodes, the pressure getting to him, 0:06:14.920 --> 0:06:17.359 the way he's arguing with Claya, the way he's was 0:06:17.400 --> 0:06:21.320 saying to her, you know, I told you it was 0:06:21.520 --> 0:06:23.120 bad idea to put the bug in there. And the 0:06:23.640 --> 0:06:25.960 pressure is only ratcheted up now. And I think he's 0:06:26.000 --> 0:06:28.120 in such a fatalistic mood that he doesn't think any 0:06:28.120 --> 0:06:29.080 of them are getting. 0:06:28.800 --> 0:06:30.640 Out, Yeah, exactly. 0:06:31.360 --> 0:06:35.600 Claia and Luthen discuss this, that they're pulling on these threads, 0:06:35.600 --> 0:06:39.719 but they're not really sure where they go, and they 0:06:40.040 --> 0:06:43.120 separate and say, okay, we're gonna meet up later. Luthen 0:06:43.160 --> 0:06:45.719 goes back to the shop to destroy the communications equipment, 0:06:46.279 --> 0:06:47.200 pouring acid on it. 0:06:47.240 --> 0:06:51.240 But then the doorbell rings and it's Deirdre. Oh this bitch, Oh, 0:06:51.279 --> 0:06:52.400 this fucking bitch. 0:06:52.480 --> 0:06:56.880 And he puts on his mask, you know, that aristocratic 0:06:57.680 --> 0:07:00.000 art dealer mask, and he goes out and he's making 0:07:00.279 --> 0:07:06.800 chit chat. And then she takes out an Imperial StarPath unit, 0:07:06.839 --> 0:07:11.760 a navigator for hyperspace travel, which Luthan has been trafficking 0:07:11.840 --> 0:07:14.840 to the rebellion for some time, has been setting all, 0:07:14.920 --> 0:07:19.880 you know, like helping coordinate and manage the theft of 0:07:19.920 --> 0:07:24.520 imperial hardware to use for its use by the rebellion. 0:07:25.160 --> 0:07:29.960 And dejs elated at this moment. She's been waiting for this, 0:07:30.000 --> 0:07:32.160 she's been waiting to catch access. She never got to 0:07:32.200 --> 0:07:36.480 do it, and here she is now finally putting, putting 0:07:36.560 --> 0:07:39.600 it all together, and it's and you could see how 0:07:39.640 --> 0:07:40.400 thrilled she is. 0:07:40.480 --> 0:07:44.840 She's got the man speaking of people who are cracking up. 0:07:44.960 --> 0:07:51.160 Like the absolute just desperate obsession that Deirdre has is 0:07:51.280 --> 0:07:55.920 shining through in every moment here, like you know that 0:07:56.000 --> 0:07:57.760 this is not going to go well for you if 0:07:57.760 --> 0:08:02.640 you are smart. Yes, actually she is not smart, and 0:08:02.720 --> 0:08:07.480 Denise Goff brings her to life with such an unbelievable 0:08:07.560 --> 0:08:13.480 kind of watery eyed, like edgy desperation where you can tell, 0:08:13.520 --> 0:08:16.160 if you've watched the show, you're like, wait a minute, 0:08:16.200 --> 0:08:20.000 this feels like it's jumped, like quite exponentially from the 0:08:20.040 --> 0:08:22.360 last place we've seen Dedra that she would be able 0:08:22.400 --> 0:08:24.920 to now command this grade. 0:08:25.000 --> 0:08:28.720 And as we'll find out, that is not necessarily. 0:08:28.160 --> 0:08:30.760 The mistake on her part, I think, and we'll talk 0:08:30.760 --> 0:08:32.840 about it later, but yes, I'm glad you brought that up, 0:08:32.920 --> 0:08:39.600 because the depiction of the Empire is a complete snake 0:08:39.720 --> 0:08:46.800 pit where where that is run by ambition by two 0:08:47.280 --> 0:08:51.760 powerful forces. One the ambition of all of these players 0:08:51.800 --> 0:08:53.880 who are looking to move up the hierarchy to get 0:08:53.920 --> 0:08:57.560 closer to the emperor yep. And two that desire to 0:08:57.600 --> 0:09:01.640 please the emperor and not the target of his anger 0:09:02.240 --> 0:09:08.200 leads to this intense backstabbing type of environment that Deirdre 0:09:09.040 --> 0:09:12.880 does not truly realize that she is in it turns it. 0:09:12.960 --> 0:09:15.640 She tells Luthen the shop surrounded, you're not getting out 0:09:15.640 --> 0:09:20.600 of here, and that's it. And then Luthen takes a 0:09:20.679 --> 0:09:23.360 victory lap anyway, which I love for him, where he 0:09:23.400 --> 0:09:24.880 basically says, it's too late. 0:09:24.960 --> 0:09:26.319 You know, you got me. That's fine. 0:09:26.600 --> 0:09:30.200 Rebellion is spread. It's everywhere now, it's everywhere around the galaxy. 0:09:30.240 --> 0:09:33.000 They all see you, they know who you are. You 0:09:33.000 --> 0:09:35.400 you know, like you can't do anything about it. And 0:09:35.920 --> 0:09:39.520 Deirdre notices that the comms have been that they're smoking 0:09:39.520 --> 0:09:42.360 in the other room. She runs over there to go 0:09:42.400 --> 0:09:45.000 see what's happened, and when she turns back, Luthen is 0:09:45.080 --> 0:09:48.560 like cut his like a samurai has taken in that 0:09:48.640 --> 0:09:51.280 one of the ancient blades from his shop room and 0:09:52.320 --> 0:09:53.840 like cut open his belly. 0:09:54.080 --> 0:09:55.120 Menex rush him away. 0:09:56.400 --> 0:10:00.880 Deirdre is desperate in her hope that he lives. And 0:10:01.120 --> 0:10:02.560 in the crowd, Claya is. 0:10:02.679 --> 0:10:06.360 Watching all of this, Yeah, because Dedra, like the thing 0:10:06.400 --> 0:10:09.760 that's important to recognize here as well, is this is 0:10:09.800 --> 0:10:13.160 about access. It is about the imperial stuff that's being 0:10:13.240 --> 0:10:14.440 kind of, you know. 0:10:14.640 --> 0:10:17.360 Shipped around. But Dedra has always known. 0:10:17.160 --> 0:10:21.120 That it is likely a kind of rebel, kind of 0:10:21.559 --> 0:10:25.120 circuit that is the origins of the rebel and rebellion. 0:10:25.160 --> 0:10:26.320 And honestly, she's not wrong. 0:10:26.840 --> 0:10:30.880 And so she needs Lutheran alive because she wants him 0:10:30.920 --> 0:10:33.839 to tell her everything. She doesn't just want to catch 0:10:33.880 --> 0:10:37.600 the guy who's been selling Imperial you know, secrets. 0:10:37.720 --> 0:10:41.280 She wants she has exact evidence. 0:10:41.360 --> 0:10:44.040 Unless she brings him in, she has no trophy. And 0:10:44.080 --> 0:10:47.120 it's that pride that brings her down. 0:10:47.120 --> 0:10:51.800 So Partigas complaints absolutely to Dedra, like, okay, this raid 0:10:51.840 --> 0:10:52.440 went poorly. 0:10:52.600 --> 0:10:55.880 This guy is almost dead. Who told you to do 0:10:55.960 --> 0:10:57.600 this on your own authority? 0:10:58.480 --> 0:11:01.160 And then he gets the news that Lannie is dead, 0:11:01.800 --> 0:11:05.040 and you know, the ISB is like going through the shop. 0:11:05.200 --> 0:11:08.280 Dedri doesn't really realize that she's in trouble at this point. 0:11:09.080 --> 0:11:10.160 I think she's still one. 0:11:10.520 --> 0:11:13.439 She thinks she's she's like riding a high, even though 0:11:13.480 --> 0:11:15.880 she realizes this is like if he doesn't live, it's 0:11:15.880 --> 0:11:18.120 a it's a problem. Clay goes to the safe house, 0:11:18.200 --> 0:11:22.520 where she is utterly devastated, and now we get a flashback. 0:11:22.559 --> 0:11:27.760 We hear we hear Imperial radio chatter about like an 0:11:27.800 --> 0:11:30.680 ongoing massacre that the Empire is doing. You just hear 0:11:30.720 --> 0:11:34.560 them talking about wiping out pockets of resistance here and there, 0:11:35.000 --> 0:11:38.520 and it's luthen Is in some sort of command ship, 0:11:39.200 --> 0:11:43.080 you know, uh, at the comms and listening to all 0:11:43.120 --> 0:11:46.760 of this and clearly like shaken, And this is Clay's reminiscence. 0:11:47.400 --> 0:11:51.840 Luthen Is is clearly upset and tortured at the sounds 0:11:51.880 --> 0:11:55.000 of this massacre. He's a sergeant in the Imperial Army, 0:11:55.080 --> 0:11:58.240 and he's making every excuse to not take part in this, like, 0:11:58.280 --> 0:12:02.600 oh I came into. I came in to like change 0:12:02.640 --> 0:12:05.280 my shoes. Oh I had to I had to reboot 0:12:05.320 --> 0:12:07.439 the thing, you know, Like he's making all kinds of excuses. 0:12:07.679 --> 0:12:10.480 Yeah, And also like there's this moment where he's basically 0:12:10.600 --> 0:12:13.559 just like crying in the and he's like. 0:12:13.600 --> 0:12:15.400 Just make it stop, just make it stop. 0:12:15.520 --> 0:12:18.160 Like you can tell that he is struggling with his 0:12:18.360 --> 0:12:20.440 role in this space. 0:12:21.000 --> 0:12:26.080 So he finds in a very Aliens type moment, he 0:12:26.200 --> 0:12:31.280 finds Alien in a like event of his ship, a 0:12:31.360 --> 0:12:33.560 young girl who's hiding from this masker, and he keeps 0:12:33.559 --> 0:12:37.199 her safe back at the safe house. Present, Claya gets 0:12:37.200 --> 0:12:40.760 some gear that's hidden like in the safe house, and 0:12:41.080 --> 0:12:45.040 she heads out to go to the hospital to At 0:12:45.040 --> 0:12:47.560 the time, I was very hopeful that she's trying to 0:12:47.679 --> 0:12:48.440 rescue Luthan. 0:12:49.240 --> 0:12:53.280 Yeah, but she is had. I had a realization. 0:12:54.320 --> 0:12:57.319 Very early on, like as they were doing the flashbacks, 0:12:57.360 --> 0:12:58.760 and I was like, oh, she's going to save her 0:12:58.880 --> 0:12:59.559 Like sorry, get that. 0:12:59.720 --> 0:13:01.840 And then I was like, oh, no, what would what 0:13:01.880 --> 0:13:02.439 would Luthan? 0:13:02.760 --> 0:13:06.240 What would Luthen do? What would her father? Yes? 0:13:06.480 --> 0:13:11.120 Exactly, So he is alive. Luthen is alive. He's clinging 0:13:11.160 --> 0:13:14.600 to life in the hospital. They're pouring the bacta into 0:13:14.640 --> 0:13:18.679 onto his abdomen and but sadly for Deeterer, he's he's 0:13:18.760 --> 0:13:21.400 unable to be interrogated at this time. They think maybe tomorrow, 0:13:21.440 --> 0:13:24.360 maybe in a couple of days. Claya fakes an injured arm. 0:13:24.440 --> 0:13:27.959 She gets in the hospital. She it's it's a uh. 0:13:28.360 --> 0:13:30.880 We get to see her in action, which is like wonderful. 0:13:30.920 --> 0:13:39.520 She's a excellent spy with incredible nerves. And Deirdre meanwhile, 0:13:39.640 --> 0:13:41.720 she reports the part of gas that he'll be ready 0:13:41.720 --> 0:13:45.280 for He'll be ready for interrogation tomorrow, Luthen will, but 0:13:46.080 --> 0:13:51.439 unfortunately she is being arrested by a party gas and 0:13:51.720 --> 0:13:54.960 here's where she messed up. You know, I think it's 0:13:55.080 --> 0:13:59.680 it's it's so interesting that like people have been lauding 0:13:59.760 --> 0:14:01.920 this character for like being a girl boss. 0:14:01.960 --> 0:14:03.320 And the thing. 0:14:03.200 --> 0:14:07.880 About the empire is don't outshine your boss. That's the 0:14:08.520 --> 0:14:15.040 that's the rule. And has told her this multiple times. Yeah, 0:14:15.120 --> 0:14:18.360 he's like, keep me in the loop. Don't out shine 0:14:18.880 --> 0:14:22.840 because if you outshine your boss, now, your boss is 0:14:23.400 --> 0:14:26.920 gonna be gonna run, feel that you're a threat, and 0:14:27.080 --> 0:14:29.760 also be unable to protect you when you step out 0:14:29.760 --> 0:14:33.560 of line. And this is what she has done. This, 0:14:33.560 --> 0:14:36.920 this mission of hers, this rate of hers, has gone sideways, 0:14:36.960 --> 0:14:40.800 and someone is to blame. And it turns out that 0:14:42.760 --> 0:14:46.720 and rebellion spy has had access to her computer. There's 0:14:46.800 --> 0:14:50.800 all sorts of evidence that points at Dedra and it's bad. 0:14:50.600 --> 0:14:51.440 So she's arrested. 0:14:52.120 --> 0:14:57.360 Meanwhile, we get another flashback to Lutheren and Clay now 0:14:57.400 --> 0:15:00.920 on the run, living by their wits across the galaxy 0:15:01.720 --> 0:15:07.400 and Claia is a little older now they see imperials 0:15:07.520 --> 0:15:11.960 rounding up prisoners, partisans. It turns out like like you know, 0:15:12.120 --> 0:15:14.240 just rebels who went into the hills to take pot 0:15:14.280 --> 0:15:17.840 shots at the empire or whatever. And maybe they're truly 0:15:17.880 --> 0:15:20.640 that or maybe they're not. It doesn't matter. The empire 0:15:20.720 --> 0:15:23.000 just like guns them down. They're mostly kids, but the 0:15:23.040 --> 0:15:29.000 empire executes them. And Claia, against Luthan's admonitions, is like, 0:15:29.080 --> 0:15:32.880 I need to watch. She wants to watch him, kind 0:15:32.880 --> 0:15:36.160 of like in the way that when you lose the 0:15:36.280 --> 0:15:38.720 NBA Finals you want to watch the winning game. You 0:15:38.760 --> 0:15:42.080 got to get that anger in your heart, you know. 0:15:42.720 --> 0:15:46.120 And she catches up with Luthan and she's furious, of course, 0:15:46.160 --> 0:15:48.720 it's seeing kids her age gun down. And she says, 0:15:49.040 --> 0:15:50.920 when do we start fighting back? You you never want 0:15:50.920 --> 0:15:53.640 to fight back? When do we do it? And he says, 0:15:53.680 --> 0:15:56.120 I think the thing that is the core of his 0:15:56.160 --> 0:16:00.320 philosophy we fight to win. That means we lose and lose, 0:16:00.360 --> 0:16:03.760 and lose and lose until we're ready. And that is 0:16:03.840 --> 0:16:08.680 that is Luthen in a nutshell. We can't if we 0:16:08.760 --> 0:16:11.800 strike back now, they'll crush us and we can't win. 0:16:12.240 --> 0:16:15.000 We need to be careful and we need to be quiet, 0:16:15.000 --> 0:16:16.880 and we need to get strong, and that means we 0:16:16.960 --> 0:16:17.680 need to take this. 0:16:18.400 --> 0:16:21.360 We need to wait for the moment that's going to 0:16:21.440 --> 0:16:22.200 be worthwhile. 0:16:24.640 --> 0:16:32.840 Claia, it like, eventually gets into Luthen's room and she 0:16:32.960 --> 0:16:38.560 does this by you know, killing killing a bunch of stormtroopers, 0:16:39.320 --> 0:16:45.080 them slowing up some stuff, and she gives Lutha a 0:16:45.280 --> 0:16:48.400 tender kiss on the forehead and it's very emotional, and 0:16:48.400 --> 0:16:53.720 then she unhooks life saving equipment and she stands there 0:16:53.760 --> 0:16:56.000 for a moment to make sure that he's dead. 0:16:56.040 --> 0:16:57.840 And then he dies, and then she. 0:16:57.920 --> 0:17:00.320 Has a single tear rolling down her face. 0:17:00.960 --> 0:17:04.840 We get a flashback Luthen and Clia in nicer clothes. 0:17:04.920 --> 0:17:08.800 Now she's very amidala coated. At this point, it looks like, 0:17:08.920 --> 0:17:09.280 you know. 0:17:09.320 --> 0:17:11.080 They're on the way, young woman. 0:17:11.600 --> 0:17:15.840 Yeah, they're on the way. The rebellion, for all we know, 0:17:15.960 --> 0:17:17.640 might just be them, you know. 0:17:17.800 --> 0:17:20.200 Like I think at this point it definitely could be. 0:17:20.520 --> 0:17:22.080 This is the nascent years. 0:17:22.160 --> 0:17:24.960 This is like them and maybe Saw, but like they're 0:17:25.000 --> 0:17:28.120 not communicating in any kind of way, and they're scouting 0:17:28.119 --> 0:17:30.000 Imperial troops that are guarding a bridge. 0:17:30.040 --> 0:17:31.480 She wants to strike. 0:17:31.640 --> 0:17:33.800 She wants to They've planted some explosives out there, and 0:17:33.800 --> 0:17:36.640 she wants to blow it up. Lutheren says, patience. They 0:17:36.760 --> 0:17:38.800 argue about it. She calls him a coward for not 0:17:39.240 --> 0:17:41.800 doing it. He knows that she's just angry and she 0:17:41.920 --> 0:17:43.520 just wants to strike out. He's trying to teach her 0:17:43.560 --> 0:17:47.119 about patients. He gives her the detonator, but she hesitates, 0:17:47.160 --> 0:17:49.480 and then he reaches for it and he takes as it. 0:17:49.560 --> 0:17:52.560 He presses it. The explosions happen on the bridge, and 0:17:52.600 --> 0:17:55.960 then he coaches her, don't look yet now, yeah, you know, 0:17:56.040 --> 0:17:58.840 don't know how to do it before because she wanted 0:17:58.880 --> 0:17:59.960 to see them explode. 0:18:00.520 --> 0:18:04.639 I thought that was such a good, good moment. He's like, 0:18:04.640 --> 0:18:06.399 don't look because then they're fucking. 0:18:06.240 --> 0:18:09.080 No, they'll know then look now look after. 0:18:08.840 --> 0:18:12.600 It's exploded and everybody's screaming, and. 0:18:11.840 --> 0:18:14.080 And then he's like, okay, now it's the time to leave. 0:18:14.119 --> 0:18:14.399 They're in this. 0:18:14.600 --> 0:18:17.640 And he's also like he was like, you you made 0:18:17.720 --> 0:18:20.639 this choice. You wanted to strike so okay, I'm doing it. 0:18:20.680 --> 0:18:22.840 You can't take it back now, like this is the war. 0:18:23.359 --> 0:18:27.240 And then we go back to the hospital. Cleya detonates 0:18:27.480 --> 0:18:30.840 some explosives that she planted in a locker is a distraction. 0:18:31.000 --> 0:18:33.040 She gets up. She shoots a couple of stormtroopers, which 0:18:33.080 --> 0:18:33.640 is great. 0:18:33.800 --> 0:18:40.520 Goes in unhooks Luthen's back to life saving equipment, kisses 0:18:40.560 --> 0:18:45.280 him on the forehead, make sure like she stands there 0:18:45.320 --> 0:18:47.119 for a minute to make sure that he's dead, and 0:18:47.160 --> 0:18:51.679 then she escapes and it's rip to absolutely one of 0:18:51.720 --> 0:18:53.920 the heroes of the Rebellion, secret. 0:18:53.680 --> 0:18:56.000 Hero, true secret here is the Rebellion. 0:18:56.280 --> 0:18:59.280 Also, like his name will never be said, he will 0:18:59.280 --> 0:19:00.480 never get a mess said. 0:19:00.760 --> 0:19:03.439 It would just be us saying Lotha was right, Like 0:19:03.480 --> 0:19:05.280 he was hard he was hard core, but he knew 0:19:05.320 --> 0:19:07.560 what you had had to be done. He understood that 0:19:07.640 --> 0:19:11.280 this was the information, This was the moment, Like can 0:19:11.320 --> 0:19:14.480 we stop this this weapon? You know? Also, can I 0:19:14.560 --> 0:19:18.800 just say, like I truly we we talked about Tony Gilroy, 0:19:18.880 --> 0:19:20.359 you know, as we call him the tone Zone. 0:19:20.400 --> 0:19:22.800 He never misses ever, never once. 0:19:23.080 --> 0:19:25.840 I want to know how he pitched this to Disney 0:19:25.880 --> 0:19:28.080 and was like, Hey, so we got three episodes left, 0:19:28.080 --> 0:19:30.480 we're leading into Rogue one and the first episode isn't 0:19:30.520 --> 0:19:31.520 going to have and or in it. 0:19:31.560 --> 0:19:37.000 How'd you feel about that? Like, it's an unbelievable kind. 0:19:36.800 --> 0:19:39.760 Of almost it's not a bottle episode because it is 0:19:39.800 --> 0:19:43.119 so directly connected to everything going on, but it really 0:19:43.240 --> 0:19:46.359 is about Claya in a way we haven't focused on 0:19:46.400 --> 0:19:49.000 her before, and it is about Luthen and it's about Deddra, 0:19:49.359 --> 0:19:50.919 And by the end of it, I was just so 0:19:51.119 --> 0:19:55.520 emotionally invested in Claia and in this character and in 0:19:55.560 --> 0:19:58.879 the complexity because we've never known Lutheran as like a 0:19:58.920 --> 0:20:02.960 loving person. In fact, Clayre constantly complains about working in 0:20:03.000 --> 0:20:06.520 the shop and her hatred for just like being there 0:20:06.640 --> 0:20:09.840 and the same people she sees every single day coming through, 0:20:10.119 --> 0:20:13.119 and I always thought that was kind of a reservation 0:20:13.280 --> 0:20:15.720 about what they were doing, but actually it's she was 0:20:15.760 --> 0:20:18.280 angry because she wants to be out. 0:20:17.880 --> 0:20:19.119 Killing people more active. 0:20:19.280 --> 0:20:22.120 Yeah, but Lutheran obviously wouldn't let her because he loves 0:20:22.160 --> 0:20:24.440 her and because he's trained her ever since she was 0:20:24.480 --> 0:20:27.720 a child, so she's an incredibly useful asset. 0:20:27.400 --> 0:20:30.359 For him to have so close. And I just thought, like, 0:20:30.440 --> 0:20:31.719 what an unbelievable episode. 0:20:31.760 --> 0:20:35.239 When the credits rolled on her kind of crying, I 0:20:35.359 --> 0:20:37.919 was just like, oh man, this show has got the juice. 0:20:38.040 --> 0:20:41.400 Like it's never was questioned, but it's juicy as hell. 0:20:41.880 --> 0:20:43.919 It's juicy, it's saucy, it it's doing it. 0:20:59.200 --> 0:21:07.240 Episode eleven, moments after Clea's raid on the hospital. It's 0:21:07.280 --> 0:21:11.960 a fucking debacle over there. The suspect is dead, no witnesses. 0:21:13.240 --> 0:21:16.560 The raid was so effective that they think maybe three 0:21:16.560 --> 0:21:17.159 people did it. 0:21:17.400 --> 0:21:17.639 I know. 0:21:17.760 --> 0:21:20.320 I love it that, like we're guessing, we're thinking about 0:21:20.320 --> 0:21:22.639 three people by how it happened, and I'm being that 0:21:22.840 --> 0:21:24.919 just one bad ass guys that wasn't you want? 0:21:25.040 --> 0:21:25.640 Ready for her? 0:21:26.160 --> 0:21:31.320 And Officer Heart of the ISB wants to place this 0:21:31.480 --> 0:21:35.520 who's was working closely with Lonnie previously in the season, 0:21:35.680 --> 0:21:40.600 wants to place this entire thing at Deirdre's at Dedra's feet. 0:21:41.160 --> 0:21:46.320 And one thing that I love about this show and 0:21:46.359 --> 0:21:52.600 the storytelling you said it, Tonzo never misses, is this contrast, 0:21:52.720 --> 0:22:01.560 this duality between the way this nascent rebellion is is 0:22:02.080 --> 0:22:05.320 training and becoming better with each passing generation, and the 0:22:05.359 --> 0:22:09.120 way the Empire is becoming more incompetent with each passing generation. 0:22:09.600 --> 0:22:16.359 Because the rebellion needs good people, people who not just 0:22:16.480 --> 0:22:19.360 want to fight and have the will to fight, have 0:22:19.440 --> 0:22:24.280 that rebellious spirit, but eventually people who like understand what 0:22:24.359 --> 0:22:27.840 it takes, are patient enough or ruthless enough, who understand 0:22:28.480 --> 0:22:32.600 of when the moment is right to strike and there's 0:22:32.640 --> 0:22:35.960 this naturally almost like a sharpening of the blade process 0:22:36.000 --> 0:22:38.760 as people die, as Luthen dies, but the information he 0:22:38.840 --> 0:22:42.160 passed on to Cassian, to Clay, etc. Makes them better, 0:22:42.200 --> 0:22:45.840 makes them stronger, and makes them a better weapon for 0:22:45.880 --> 0:22:46.520 the rebellion. 0:22:46.800 --> 0:22:47.600 Meanwhile, on the. 0:22:47.560 --> 0:22:52.800 Imperial side, because it's such a snake pit, you're watching 0:22:53.520 --> 0:22:59.440
