[Crosshair appears in Imperial armor with an Imperial patrol]
Wrecker : Is that Crosshair?
[Hunter steps out to meet him]
Crosshair : Best stand down, Sergeant. Make it easier on yourself.
Hunter : Have you lost your mind?
Crosshair : You should have killed that Jedi. You disobeyed orders!
Hunter : I did what I thought was right!
Crosshair : You never could see the bigger picture. Now surrender!
Hunter : Is that an order?
Crosshair : Heh. I guess it is.
Hunter : Well, I guess I'm disobeying that one too.
-
Hunter : What's going on here? Who are these people?
Saw Gerrera : Villagers, croppers, former Republic fighters. All now displaced refugees, since Palpatine unjustly appointed himself Emperor.
Tech : According to reports, the Jedi made an attempt on the Supreme Chancellor's life. His actions were a defensive measure.
Saw Gerrera : And I figured you for the smart one. With the Jedi decimated and the Clone Army under his command, Palpatine will have command over the entire galaxy. Unless we stop him.
Crosshair : The war is over.
Saw Gerrera : If we give up now, everything we fought for, everyone we lost, will have been for nothing. I won't let that happen. The Clone War may have ended, but the civil war is about to begin.
-
Wrecker : Eleven more successful missions. Like there was any doubt.
Echo : Kaller wasn't a win.
Wrecker : Says who? We completed our objective.
Crosshair : Not every objective. Hunter let that Jedi kid escape. Or do you want to keep lying to us?
Hunter : I don't like to think of executing our commanders as a mission objective.
Crosshair : An order is an order.
Hunter : Since when?
-
Tech : We have a situation.
Hunter : Tell me something I don't know, Tech.
Tech : It appears the regs have been ordered to execute the Jedi.
Hunter : What? Which Jedi?
Tech : All of them. They're saying the Jedi have committed treason.
Crosshair : That would explain things.
Hunter : It doesn't begin to explain things.
Tech : I suggest you get back here.
Hunter : Can't. Haven't found the kid yet.
Crosshair : [spotting Caleb in a tree, he raises his blaster] Wrong.
-
Echo : None of this makes sense. Those clones served alongside General Billaba for years. How could they turn on her like that?
Tech : Because of the regs' programming.
Hunter : What programming?
Tech : It's been well-documented that the Kaminoans inhibited the cognitive functions of clones to engineer them to follow orders without question.
Wrecker : Ha! We sure don't.
Tech : Obviously, we are different. They manipulated pre-existing aberrations in our DNA, resulting in your brute strength, Crosshair's sharpshooting skills, Hunter's enhanced senses, and my exceptional mind. My guess is we are immune to the effects of the programming. Though I can't be 100% certain of it.
Hunter : What about Echo? He was a reg before he joined us.
Echo : Yeah, if all regs were programmed, why didn't I react like the others?
Tech : The damage you sustained on Skako Minor most likely wiped out all of your preset behavioral modifications. You are more machine than man... percentage-wise, at least.
Echo : Lucky me.
-
Wrecker : There you are, little Jedi. You missed all the fun.
Caleb Dume : Watching your team in action was the fun.
Depa Billaba : Care to introduce your new friends, Caleb?
Caleb Dume : Yes, Master. This is Wrecker, Hunter, Echo, Tech, and Crosshair.
Depa Billaba : While I'm not sure "fun" is the sentiment I would express, I agree with my Padawan. Your exploits were quite impressive.
Wrecker : Exploits?
Crosshair : Don't overthink it, Wrecker.
-
Crosshair : Good soldiers follow orders.
-
Wrecker : [throws a food tray at some regs] Oops.
-
[last lines]
[the Bad Batch's ship prepares to go into hyperspace]
Hunter : [to Omega] Strap in, kid. You're not gonna want to miss this view.
-
Hunter : It's not just the clones on Kaller. All the regs are acting strange.
Tech : Let's test that theory.
[to a passing group of clone troopers]
Tech : Excuse me, trooper. What division are you from?
Clone Trooper : [nudging him as they pass] Step aside.
Tech : Oh. Well, they seem the same to me.
-
Caleb Dume : Stay back.
Hunter : Just hear me out.
Caleb Dume : No! You killed her!
Hunter : The others did. I'm just as confused as you are.
Caleb Dume : Stay back. Stay back!
Hunter : I can help you. Come with me.
[hearing clone troopers approaching, Caleb leaps over a waterfall]
Hunter : No!
Crosshair : [approaching] Where's the Jedi?
Hunter : I stunned him when he jumped. He didn't make it.
-
Caleb Dume : Stay away from me!
Hunter : [Caleb runs away] Kid, wait! What... what just happened?
Tech : The comm channel is repeating one directive, "Execute Order 66."
Wrecker : Yeah, I heard that, too. What's Order 66?
Tech : I am not certain.
Hunter : Echo. Tech. Talk to the reg captain. Find out what you can. Crosshair, you and I will track down the kid and make sure nothing happens to him. Wrecker, stall anyone who tries to follow us.
-
Hunter : If you're done hiding down there, I suggest you launch a counterattack. Another droid battalion's approaching.
Captain Grey : The General is the one who gives the orders around here.
Depa Billaba : He's right, Captain. This is our chance. Launch the counterattack.
Captain Grey : Yes, General.
-
Hunter : Come on down, kid. We're here to help.
[Crosshair raises and fires his blaster]
Hunter : No!
Caleb Dume : [deflecting the bolt with his lightsaber] Liar!
Hunter : What are you doing?
Crosshair : Following orders.
Hunter : We don't even know what the order is. Stand down until we know what's going on.
-
Captain Grey : Not to be a pessimist, but if the commander isn't back soon with those reinforcements...
Depa Billaba : My Padawan will be here.
Caleb Dume : [sliding down a snowbank] Master! Here. I'm here.
Depa Billaba : Caleb, where are the reinforcements?
Caleb Dume : Don't worry. They're right behind me.
Captain Grey : [looking around] Uh, where are they?
Depa Billaba : Caleb?
Caleb Dume : Trust me.
Captain Grey : Well, how many are there?
Caleb Dume : Five of them.
Captain Grey : Five? We're done.
Caleb Dume : Yeah, that's what I thought, but you gotta see these clones. They're different.
-
Depa Billaba : Would one of you explain where my actual reinforcements are?
Hunter : Rerouted to the capital. We're all you're getting.
Wrecker : Ha! We're all you need.
Tech : Actually, if my intel is correct, the General will not need any of us. The Clone War may soon be over.
Captain Grey : Better tell that to the clankers headed our way.
Tech : I am referring to the encrypted comm chatter. Clone Intelligence is reporting Jedi General Obi-Wan Kenobi has found and engaged General Grievous on Utapau.
Echo : If he captures or kills Grievous, the Separatist command structure will collapse.
Tech : And most likely the droid armies along with them.
Depa Billaba : A fascinating theory, yet unfortunately, not something we can control from here. I suggest we focus on the task at hand.
Hunter : Any orders? Or shall we do what we do?
Wrecker : Let's blow something up. Yeah!
Depa Billaba : Well, Caleb, shall we let them do what they do?
Caleb Dume : Only if I can go with them.
Depa Billaba : Very well.
Hunter : Hey, kid. You ready for this? We move fast.
Caleb Dume : Good. That's the only way I know.
Wrecker : [laughing] I like him.
-
Hunter : Shock troopers? What's the Coruscant Guard doing here?
PA System : Level five lockdown remains in effect. Security teams, report to the command center.
Tech : This isn't a drill.
Wrecker : Oh, man. What'd we miss now?
Clone Trooper : The end of the war.
Hunter : Say again, trooper?
Clone Trooper : General Grievous was defeated on Utapau. The Separatist leadership has collapsed. The war is over.
Tech : Just like I said.
Wrecker : [gasp] It is just like you said.
