Star Wars: The Rise Of Skywalker Page #4

---

POE:
And?

FINN:
Where’s the wayfinder?

C-3PO:
I am afraid I cannot tell you.

POE:
20.3 fazillion languages, and you can’t read that?

C-3PO:
Oh, I have read it, sir. I know exactly where the wayfinder is. Unfortunately, it is written in the runic language of the Sith.

REY:
So what?

C-3PO:
My programming forbids me from translating it.

POE:
So, you’re telling us the one time we need you to talk, you can’t?

C-3PO:
Irony, sir. I am mechanically incapable of speaking translations from Sith. I believe the rule was passed by the Senate of the Old Republic....

[just then a giant sand worm appears behind C-3PO]

[BB-8 yelps]

[Snarling]

C-3PO:
Serpent! Serpent!!! Serpent!!!

[Rey panting]

[BB-8 chirps softly]

[Creature growls]

FINN:
Rey.

[Hissing]

[Snarling]

POE:
Finn?

FINN:
Shh.

[Creature growls softly]

[Hissing]

POE:
I'm going to blast it.

FINN:
Don't blast it.

[Growls softly]

[Rey breathing nervously]

[Groaning]

[Breathing deeply]

[Creature moans]

[after Rey healing the sand worm that was about to attack them]

[Creature chitters softly]

[Poe sighing with relief]

[BB-8 chirps]

REY:
I just transferred a bit of life. Force energy from me to him.

[BB-8 chirps]

REY:
You would've done the same.

[after leaving the underground tunnel]

C-3PO:
We cannot possibly fly in that old wreck . POE: We got to keep moving. Find someone who can translate that dagger. Like a helpful droid.

C-3PO:
I suggest we return to the Millennium Falcon at once.

POE:
They’ll be waiting for us at the Falcon.

FINN:
Yeah, they’ll throw us in the Pits of Griq.

POE:
Yeah. And use you as a target droid.

C-3PO:
You both make excellent points, at times.

FINN:
What is it?

REY:
I'll be right behind you. It's okay.

POE:
Let's see what we got. Let's get those converters fired up.

C-3PO:
(shudders) What a filthy ship!

[Ship powering up]

POE:
Look at that.

FINN:
Where is she?

POE:
Finn, help me out over here.

FINN:
Chewie, tell Rey we got to go.

[Grunts]

[Panting]

[Engine roaring in distance]

POE:
What's she doing? Where the hell's Chewie?

FINN:
It's Ren.

[Indistinct chatter in distance]

STORMTROOPER:
All right, let's go. Get in the transport.

STORMTROOPER 2:
Move, animal!

[Breathing heavily]

[Engine roaring in distance]

[Rey panting]

[Alarm wailing]

[Metal screeching]

[Engine whining]

FINN:
Rey! Rey!

[Engine whirring]

FINN:
They got Chewie! They got him!

[Grunting]

[Straining]

[Panting]

[Grunts]

[after Rey accidentally destroys the First Order transport that had captured Chewie with Force lightning]

REY:
Chewie!!!!

FINN:
No!!!

[Gasping]

POE:
Rey!!! We got to go! They're coming!!

FINN:
Rey, come on!!!

[Breathing shakily]

FINN:
Rey!!

POE:
We got to go!

REY:
(whispers) Chewie.

FINN:
Rey, come on!!

[Gasping]

REY:
I lost control.

FINN:
It wasn’t your fault.

REY:
It was.

FINN:
No. It was Ren. He made you do it.

REY:
Chewie’s gone. That power came from me. Finn, there are things you don’t know.

FINN:
Then tell me.

[pause, breathing shakily]

REY:
I, uh, had a vision. Of the throne of the Sith. And who was on it.

FINN:
Ren?

REY:
(inhales sharply) And me.

ARMITAGE HUX:
We recovered the scavenger's ship, but she got away. Under the command of the Knights of Ren, we suffered losses. A transport was destroyed.

ENRIC PRYDE:
I've seen the report. That all?

ARMITAGE HUX:
No, Alligiant General. There was another transport in the desert. It brought back a valuable prisoner.

ENRIC PRYDE:
Prisoner?

[Chewie groaning]

ARMITAGE HUX:
The beast used to fly with Han Solo.

[Roars]

ENRIC PRYDE:
Take it to Interrogation 6.

STORMTROOPER:
Move it.

POE:
We've only got 8 hours left. So, what are we going to do?

FINN:
What can we do? We got to go back to base.

POE:
We don’t have time to go back. We are not giving up. If we do that, Chewie died for nothing.

FINN:
Poe, Chewie had the dagger!

POE:
Well, then we got to find another way.

FINN:
Well, there isn’t. That was the only clue to the wayfinder thing, and it’s gone.

C-3PO:
So true. The inscription lives only in my memory now.

POE:
Hold on. The inscription that was on the dagger is in your memory?

C-3PO:
Yes, Master Poe. But the translation from a forbidden language cannot be retrieved. That is short of a complete redacted memory bypass.

FINN:
A complete what?

C-3PO:
It’s a terribly dangerous and sinful act.... performed on unwitting droids by dregs and criminals.

FINN:
Let’s do that.

POE:
I know a black market droidsmith.

C-3PO:
Black market droidsmith??

POE:
But he's on Kijimi.

FINN:
What's wrong with Kijimi?

POE:
I had a little bad luck on Kijimi. But if this mission fails, it’s all been for nothing. All we’ve done, all this time.

FINN:
We’re all in this. (looks over to Rey) Until the end.

[Rey takes his hand]

REY:
For Chewie.

[Finn holds his hand to Poe]

POE:
Hands?

FINN:
Hands.

[Poe takes his hand]

POE:
For Chewie. Kijimi.

[C-3PO comes over and takes Poe’s hand]

[BB-8 chirps softly]

[BB-8 chirps]

[Powering up]

D-O:
Battery charged. Hello.

[BB-8 chirping]

D-O:
Hello.

REY:
Hello.

D-O:
No.... No, thank you.

[BB-8 chirping]

REY:
Looks like someone treated him badly. It's all right. You're with us now.

[BB-8 chirps softly]

[after they arrive on Kijimi]

ANNOUNCER:
(on P.A.) U-A-T-T walker patrol, head down Thoroughfare 60.

[Alarm wailing]

[Banging on door]

[Angry chatter]

STORMTROOPER:
Open up. You're wanted for questioning.

[Banging on door]

STORMTROOPER 2:
Check this side of the street.

[Alien speaks alien language]

[Alien gasps]

STORMTROOPER 3:
Door is locked. Move on to the next one.

STORMTROOPER 4:
Give me regular reports, please.

STORMTROOPER 5:
You, up against the wall. Show me your identification. Where's your identification?

POE:
They're everywhere.

[Woman shouts]

WOMAN:
Please!! Leave her alone! She didn't do anything.

POE:
Alright, I know what we should do.

C-3PO:
So do I. We should leave.

POE:
Clam it, 3PO. Follow me. All right. Let's head down this way.

[as they bump into Zorii Bliss on Kijimi]

ZORII:
Heard you were spotted at Monk's Gate. Thought, "He's not stupid enough to come back here."

POE:
Oh, you'd be surprised.

REY:
Who's this?

FINN:
What's going on?

POE:
Guys, this is Zorii. Zorii, this is Rey and Finn.

ZORII:
I could pull this trigger right now.

POE:
I've seen you do worse.

ZORII:
For a lot less.

POE:
Can we just, uh.... talk about this?

ZORII:
I want to see your brains in the snow.

POE:
So you’re still mad? Zorii, we could use your help. We got to crack this droid’s head open and fast.

C-3PO:
Pardon me!

POE:
We’re trying to find Babu Frik.

ZORII:
Babu? Babu only works with the crew. That’s not you anymore.

REY:
What crew?

ZORII:
Oh, funny he never mentioned it. Your friend’s old job was running spice.

FINN:
You were a spice runner?

POE:
You were a stormtrooper?

REY:
Were you a spice runner?

POE:
Were you a scavenger? We could do this all night.
