Rogue One: A Star Wars Story Page #5

The sack is pulled off of Bodhi’s head. He shakes his head and blinks at the sight of Saw.

BODHI ROOK:
Okay... So, you... Um. Uh.That’s-That’s for you. And I gave it to them, they did not find it! I gave it to them. Galen Erso. He told me to find you.

SAW GERRERA:
Bor Gullet.

Saw nods to Edrio and Bodhi visibly begins panicking,

BODHI ROOK:
Bor Gullet? Galen Erso sent me! He told me to find you!

His voice is muffled and confused as the sack is pulled over his head again and he is dragged away.

STAR DESTROYER "EXECUTRIX" (A Star Destroyer overlooking the construction of the Death Star)

A TIE fighter flies towards what looks like the stars but reveals itself as an Imperial Star Destroyer. Behind the ISD, an even more massive structure emerges from the darkness - the Death Star.

Imperial officers sit in command pits on both sides of the bridge. Director Krennic approaches Grand Moff Tarkin who is standing with his back to the camera as he watches the construction of the Death Star. Tarkin turns around to face the camera.

GRAND MOFF WILHUFF TARKIN: Most unfortunate about the security breach on Jedha, Director Krennic. After so many setbacks and delays, and now this. We’ve heard word of rumors circulating through the city. Apparently you’ve lost a rather talkative cargo pilot. If the Senate gets wind of our project, countless systems will flock to the Rebellion.

DIRECTOR ORSON KRENNIC: When the battle station is finished, Governor Tarkin, the Senate will be of little concern.

GRAND MOFF WILHUFF TARKIN: When has become now, Director Krennic. The Emperor will tolerate no further delay, you have made time an ally of the Rebellion. I suggest, we solve both problems simultaneously with an immediate test of the weapon. Failure will find you explaining why to a far less patient audience.

DIRECTOR ORSON KRENNIC: I will not fail.

Krennic turns around and signals to his bodyguards to flank him as he leaves. Tarkin watches the superlaser being set into place, completing the Death Star.

Inside Jyn’s dream, she sees herself as a little girl. Her father is still an Imperial officer on Coruscant. He is drinking and laughing together with a younger Krennic. She is peering into the room and her father walks over to her and picks her up, placing her in bed. There are blurred visions of her mother, Lyra.

GALEN ERSO:
What’s the matter, Jyn? You looked frightened. I’ll always protect you. Stardust. Don’t ever change.

LYRA ERSO:
Trust...

LYRA ERSO:
Galen.

Jyn wakes up inside the U-Wing and blinks as Cassian speaks up.

CASSIAN ANDOR:
We’re coming into orbit. You have controls.

The U-Wing lands in front of a view of the Holy City of Jedha with a Star Destroyer hovering in the sky just above it. Multiple smaller shuttles and TIE fighters are going back and forth between the destroyer and the city. The two rebels and the droid disembark and get on the ground to look at the city through binoculars.
