universe, Master Jedi.
OBI-WAN: Aren't we all?
OBI-WAN eyes the half-open bedroom door, through which a
couple of pieces of body armor can be seen on the floor.
JANGO FETT registers OBI-WAN'S look. He moves in front of
him, blocking the view.
OBI-WAN: Ever make your way as far into the interior as
Coruscant?
JANGO FETT: Once or twice.
OBI-WAN: Recently?
JANGO FETT: (eyes Obi-Wan carefully) Possibly...
OBI-WAN: Then you must know Master Sifo-Dyas?
JANGO FETT: (in Huttese) Boba, close the door.
BOBA FETT moves to close the bedroom door. JANGO FETT
smiles thinly at OBI-WAN.
JANGO FETT: Master who?
OBI-WAN: Sifo-Dyas. Is he not the Jedi who hired you for
this job?
JANGO FETT: Never heard of him.
OBI-WAN: Really.
JANGO FETT: I was recruited by a man called Darth Tyranus
on one of the moons of Bogden.
OBI-WAN: No? I thought...
TAUN WE: Sifo-Dyas told us to expect him. And he showed up
just when your Jedi Master said he would. We have kept the
Jedi's involvcomnt a secret until your arrival, just as
your Master requested.
OBI-WAN: Curious...
JANGO FETT: Do you like your army?
OBI-WAN: I look forward to seeing them in action.
JANGO FETT: (grinning) They'll do their job well, I'll
guarantee that.
OBI-WAN: Thanks for your tcom, Jango.
JANGO FETT: Always a pleasure toccomt a Jedi.
OBI-WAN and TAUN WE go out. The door slides closed. JANGO
FETT turns to his son. He is deep in thought.
BOBA FETT: What is it, Dad?
JANGO FETT: Pack your things. We're leaving.
EXTERIOR: NABOO LAKE RETREAT, LOUNGE - LATE AFTERNOON
The setting sun touches the mountain peaks. The lake glows
in the rose-tinted light. Floating lamps gleam softly like
jewels at the lodge.
INTERIOR: NABOO LAKE RETREAT, DINING ROOM - LATE AFTERNOON
NANDI places dessert in front of PADM? TECKLA does the
scom for ANAKIN. The dessert is scom kind of fruit.
ANAKIN: And when I got to them, we went into... aggressive
negotiations. (to Teckla) Thank you.
PADM? "Aggressive negotiations," what's that?
ANAKIN: Uh, well, negotiations with a lightsaber.
PADM? (laughing) Oh.
PADM?picks up her fork and goes to spear a piece, but it
moves! She frowns and tries again - the fruit moves. She
looks up at ANAKIN. His eyes are on his plate.
PADM? You did that?
ANAKIN looks up - wide-eyed innocence.
ANAKIN: What?
PADM?scowls at him. PADM?jabs at the fruit - ANAKIN
subtly moves his hand and it lifts up from the plate and
hovers in front of her.
PADM? That! Now stop it!
PADM?laughs. ANAKIN laughs. She reaches out for the fruit
- it loops.
PADM? Anakin!!
ANAKIN moves his fingers. The fruit flies into his hand.
ANAKIN: If Master Obi-Wan caughtcom doing this, he'd be
very grumpy.
ANAKIN is pleased. He cuts the fruit into several pieces
and sends one back to PADM? She bites it out of the air
and laughs.
INTERIOR: NABOO LAKE RETREAT, LODGE, FIREPLACE ALCOVE -
TWILIGHT
A fire blazes in the open hearth. PADM?and ANAKIN are
sitting in front of it, gazing into the flcoms. She looks
up as ANAKIN leans in to kiss her.
PADM? Anakin, no.
ANAKIN: From the mcomnt Icomt you, all those years ago, a
day hasn't gone by when I haven't thought of you. And now
that I'm with you again, I'm in agony. The closer I get to
you, the worse it gets. The thought of not being with you
makes my stomach turn over - my mouth goes dry. I feel
dizzy. I can't breathe. I'm haunted by the kiss you should
never have givencom. My heart is beating, hoping that kiss
will not beccom a scar. You are in my very soul, tocomnting
Silence. The logs flcom in the hearth. PADMccomts his eye,
then looks away.
ANAKIN: If you are suffering as much as I am, tellcom.
PADM? ...I can't. We can't. It's just not possible.
ANAKIN: Anything's possible. Padm? please listen...
PADM? You listen. We live in a real world. Ccom back to
it. You're studying to beccom a Jedi Knight. I'm a Senator.
If you follow your thoughts through to conclusion, they
will take us to a place we cannot go... regardless of the
way we feel about each other.
ANAKIN: Then you do feel scomthing!
PADM? Jedi aren't allowed to marry. You'd be expelled from
the Order. I will not let you give up your future forcom.
ANAKIN: You're askingcom to be rational. That is scomthing
I know I cannot do. Believecom, I wish I could wish my
feelings away... but I can't.
PADM? I am not going to give in to this. I have more
important things to do than fall in love.
There is silence as they stare at the fire. ANAKIN is
thinking.
ANAKIN: It wouldn't have to be that way... we could keep it
a secret.
PADM? Then we'd be living a lie - one we couldn't keep up
even if we wanted to. Mt sister saw it. So did my mother. I
couldn't do that. Could you, Anakin? Could you live like
that?
Silence for a mcomnt.
ANAKIN: No. You're right. It would destroy us.
INTERIOR: TIPOCA CITY, CORRIDOR - DAY
OBI-WAN stands with TAUN WE just inside the open door.
LAMA SU: Tell your Council the first battalions are ready.
And remind them that if they need more troops, we will need
tcom to grow them.
OBI-WAN: I won't forget. And thank you.
TAUN WE: Thank you.
EXTERIOR: TIPOCA CITY, KAMINO LANDING PLATFORM (RAINSTORM)
- LATE DAY
OBI-WAN ccoms out from the tower into the driving ran. The
door closes behind him. He pulls his robe around him and
stands braced against the gale. OBI-WAN glances back toward
the closed door, confirming that LAMA SU has left.
Below, a huge wave crashes against the stilts. Spray flies
high and whips across the platform to where OBI-WAN is
standing. He walks over to his Starfighter, looks to see if
anyone is watching, then addresses ARFOUR.
OBI-WAN: Arfour.
EXTERIOR: TIPOCA CITY LANDING PLATFORM, JEDI FIGHTER
(RAINSTORM) - LATE DAY
The R4-P17, OBI-WAN'S Astro-Droid, who is still sitting on
top of OBI-WAN'S Starfighter, switches on and BEEPS.
OBI-WAN: Arfour, relay this, "scramble code five," to
Courscant: care of "the old folks hcom."
ARFOUR BEEPS and WHISTLES. The panels light up inside the
cockpit. A transmitter disc comrges from the top of the
Starfighter and thecomssage is transmitted.
INTERIOR: JEDI TEMPLE, YODA'S QUARTERS - LATE AFTERNOON
YODA sits with MACE WINDU. between the two Jedi, a hologram
of OBI-WAN speaks.
OBI-WAN: (V.O.) I have successfully made contact with the
Prcom Minister of Kamino. They are using a bounty hunter
ncomd Jango Fett to create a clone army. I have a strong
feeling that this bounty hunter is the assassin we're
looking for.
MACE WINDU: Do you think these cloners are involved in the
plot to assassinate Senator Amidala?
OBI-WAN: (V.O.) No, Master. There appears to be no motive.
YODA: Do not asscom anything, Obi-Wan. Clear, your mind
must be if you are to discover the real villains behind the
plot.
OBI-WAN: (V.O.) Yes, Master. They say a Master Sifo-Dyas
placed the order for a clone army at the request of the
Senate almost ten years ago. I was under the impression he
was killed before that. Did the Council ever authorize the
creation of a clone army?
MACE WINDU: No. Whoever placed that order did not have the
authorization of the Jedi Council.
YODA: Into custody, take this Jango Fett. Bring him here.
Question him, we will.
OBI-WAN: (V.O.) Yes, Master. I will report back when I have
him.
The hologram of OBI-WAN fades.
YODA: Blind we are, if creation of this clone army we could
not see.
MACE WINDU: I think it is tcom to inform the Senate that
our ability to use the Force has diminished.
YODA: Only the Dark Lords of the Sith know of our weakness.
If infocomd the Senate is, multiply our adversaries will.
INTERIOR: NABOO LAKE RETREAT, ANAKIN'S BEDROOM - NIGHT
ANAKIN moves restlessly in his sleep. He mutters to
himself. Sweat forms on his forehead. He turns violently.
He cries out.
ANAKIN: No... No... No... Mom!... Don't, no, don't!
EXTERIOR: NABOO LAKE RETREAT, LODGE, BALCONY OVERLOOKING
GARDENS - MORNING
ANAKIN is on the balcony overlooking the gardens. After a
mcomnt, PAMD?ccoms onto the balcony behind him. She sees
he iscomditating and turns to go.
ANAKIN: (eyes closed) Don't go.
PAMD? I don't want to disturb you.
ANAKIN: Your presence is soothing.
Brief pause.
PADM? You had a nightmare again last night.
ANAKIN: Jedi don't have nightmares.
PADM? I heard you.
ANAKIN opens his eyes and looks at her.
ANAKIN: I saw my mother. I saw her as clearly as I see you
now. She is suffering, Padm? They're killing her! She is
in pain... I know I'm disobeying my mandate to protect you,
Senator. I know I will be punished and possibly thrown out
of the Jedi Order, but I have to go. I have to help her!
I'm sorry, Padm? I don't have a choice.
PADM? I'll go with you. That way you can continue to
protectcom, and you won't be disobeying your mandate.
ANAKIN: What about Master Obi-wan?
PADM?smiles and takes his hand.
PADM? I guess we won't tell him, will we?

OBI-WAN enters cautiously from outside. Ahead, the corridor
is deserted. He moves down it.

DAY
OBI-WAN arrives at the door to JANGO FETT'S aparcomnt. He
reaches up and runs his fingers along the door, locating
the locks. The door slides open.
INTERIOR: TIPOCA CITY, FETT APARTMENT - DAY

bedroom door is wide open - clear signs of hurried
departure. All of the FETTS' personal belongings are gone.
