JYN ERSO:
What is this?

SENATOR MON MOTHMA: It’s a chance for you to make a fresh start.

Cassian Andor appears from behind a wall and approaches the meeting.

CASSIAN ANDOR:
We think you might be able to help us.

SENATOR MON MOTHMA: This is Captain Cassian Andor, Rebel Intelligence.

CASSIAN ANDOR:
When was the last time you were in contact with your father?

JYN ERSO:
15 years ago.

CASSIAN ANDOR:
Any idea where he’s been all that time?

JYN ERSO:
I like to think he’s dead, makes things easier.

CASSIAN ANDOR:
Easier than what? That he’s being a tool of the Imperial war machine?

JYN ERSO:
I’ve never had the luxury of political opinions.

CASSIAN ANDOR:
Really? When was your last contact with Saw Gerrera?

JYN ERSO:
It’s been a long time.

CASSIAN ANDOR:
He’d remember you, though, wouldn’t he? He might agree to meet you, if you came as a friend.

GENERAL DAVITS DRAVEN: We’re up against the clock here, girl, so if there’s nothing to talk about, we’ll just put you back where we found you.

JYN ERSO:
I was a child, Saw Gerrera saved my life. He raised me. But I’ve no idea where he is. I haven’t seen him in years.

CASSIAN ANDOR:
We know how to find him, that’s not our problem. What we need is someone who gets us through the door without being killed.

JYN ERSO:
You’re all rebels, aren’t you?

SENATOR MON MOTHMA: Yes, but Saw Gerrera’s an extremist. He’s been fighting on his own since he broke with the Rebellion. His militancy has caused the Alliance a great many problems. We have no choice now but to try to mend that broken trust.

JYN ERSO:
What does this have to do with my father?

CASSIAN ANDOR:
There’s an Imperial defector in Jedha. A pilot. He’s being held by Saw Gerrera. He’s claiming the Emperor is creating a weapon with the power to destroy entire planets. The pilot says he was sent by your father.

SENATOR MON MOTHMA: We need to stop this weapon before it is finished.

GENERAL DAVITS DRAVEN: Captain Andor’s mission is to authenticate the pilot’s story and then, if possible, find your father.

SENATOR MON MOTHMA: It appears he is critical to the development of this superweapon. Given the gravity of the situation and your history with Saw,we’re hoping that he will help us locate your father and return him to the Senate for testimony.

JYN ERSO:
And if I do it?

SENATOR MON MOTHMA: We’ll make sure you go free.
