EXT. MASSASSII REBEL BASE (Outside the temple)

Jyn and Cassian approach a vessel stationed on a landing pad. General Draven calls out to Cassian from a distance.

GENERAL DAVITS DRAVEN: Captain Andor!

Cassian approaches him, leaving Jyn behind. She climbs into a U-Wing sitting on the landing pad and sees the droid she's been rescued by.

INT. U-WING (Inside a U-Wing)

K-2SO [KAY-TUESSO]: I’m K-2SO. I’m a reprogrammed Imperial droid.

JYN ERSO:
I remember you.

K-2SO [KAY-TUESSO]: I see the Council is sending you with us to Jedha.

JYN ERSO:
Apparently so.

K-2SO [KAY-TUESSO]: That is a bad idea. I think so, and so does Cassian. What do I know? My specialty is just strategic analysis.

Outside the ship, Draven confronts Cassian while Jyn isn't there.

GENERAL DAVITS DRAVEN: Galen Erso is vital to the Empire’s weapon program. Forget what you heard in there, there will be no extraction. You find him, you kill him. Then and there.

INT. U-WING (Inside the U-Wing)

Cassian climbs inside the U-Wing and looks at its passengers.

CASSIAN ANDOR:
You met Kay-Tu?

JYN ERSO:
Charming.

CASSIAN ANDOR:
He tends to say whatever comes into his circuits. It’s a by-product of the reprogram.

Jyn loads a blaster and spins it in her hands. K-2SO looks at her, alarmed.

K-2SO [KAY-TUESSO]: Why does she get a blaster, and I don’t?

Cassian turns around sharply.

CASSIAN ANDOR:
What?

JYN ERSO:
I know how to use it.

CASSIAN ANDOR:
That’s what I’m afraid of. Give it to me.

JYN ERSO:
We’re going to Jedha. That’s a war zone.

CASSIAN ANDOR:
That’s not the point. Where did you get it?

JYN ERSO:
I found it.

K-2SO [KAY-TUESSO]: I find that answer vague and unconvincing.

JYN ERSO:
Trust goes both ways.

Cassian sighs and hops into the pilot seat.

K-2SO [KAY-TUESSO]: You’re letting her keep it? Would you like to know the probability of her using it against you? It’s high.

CASSIAN ANDOR:
Let’s get going.

K-2SO [KAY-TUESSO]: It’s very high.

The U-Wing takes off and leaves Yavin 4.

PARTISAN BASE ON JEDHA

The camera slowly moves up to reveal Saw Gerrera, a man-machine with a respirator and a prosthetic leg. Bodhi is brought before him and he still has the sack on his head.

SAW GERRERA:
Lies! Deceptions! Let’s see it. Bodhi Rook. Cargo pilot. Local boy, huh?

BODHI ROOK:
Uh-huh.

Edrio passes Saw a holopad that had been taken from Bodhi earlier.

EDRIO TWO TUBES:
This was found in his boot when he was captured.

BODHI ROOK:
Okay, I can hear you. He didn’t capture me, I came here myself. I defected, I defected.

SAW GERRERA:
Every day, more lies.

BODHI ROOK:
Lies? Would I risk everything for a lie? No, we don’t have time for this! I have to speak to Saw Gerrera before it’s too late.
