"Citizens with any information should contact

We have a suspect?
FEMALE OFFICER: Cassian Andor.
"Insurrection, destruction of Imperial property,
"assault on Imperial soldier."
Who else knows that you were born in Kenari?
- B-B-Bix. Bix is looking for you. - Bix has nothing to do with this!
But then who told these Pre-Mor bastards about Kenari?
XANWAN: "Kenari.
"Abandoned after Imperial mining disaster."
- Everyone died. -(CHILDREN CRYING)
SERGEANT MOSK: Andor should be considered armed and dangerous.
He may not appear to be a formidable opponent,
but two of our men are dead having made that mistake.
- CASSIAN: I have something to sell. - What?
CASSIAN: An untraceable NS-9 Starpath unit.
- BIX: Do you know how much that's worth? - CASSIAN: Yeah.
Enough to get out of here, lay low till things cool off.
Your friend will want this piece.

There's been a complication. I missed the window to call back.
LUTHEN: Calmly.
Pre-Mor Enforcement put out a bulletin last night
for someone meeting Cassian's description.
I've seen it.
The bulletin doesn't mention him by name.
It says they're looking for someone from Kenari.
His Imperial prison record says he's from Fest.
Yeah, that's always been his story.
Has he been identified?
I don't think many people know him.
He killed these men on Morlana?
Oh, then we better be quick about it.

Is it?
(SCOFFS)
An untraceable Starpath Unit.
Vector crystals and seal still intact.
You can track every Imperial coordinate for nine radial parsecs.
LUTHEN: Is it here?
Is the money here?
How do I know it works?
CASSIAN: It's sealed.
The moment I plug it in, the value drops.
So you could be scamming me. (SCOFFS)
CASSIAN: I'm giving you my word.
LUTHEN: And if that's not enough?
(CHUCKLES)
(STUTTERS) You know where I live.
So I could come back if I were dissatisfied.

There was a bulletin last night. Did you see it?
"Kenari male resident."
(STAMMERING) I need to think. Just let me think.
Is that what this is about?
(PANTING)
Someone ratted him out.
SALMAN: What? What do you mean?
- I need to go find him. - SALMAN: No. Bix, no.
- Someone has to. - SALMAN: He could be anywhere. Tell her.
Don't.
Don't? Don't what?
He can take care of himself.
(SCOFFS)
Who?
How do you know who we're talking about?
Did I ever tell you that Cassian was born on Kenari?
- I don't... I don't... I don't remember. - Hmm?
BIX: I do.
I remember.
(BREATHING HEAVILY)
(SOFTLY) How could you?
Wait. (BREATHING HEAVILY) What is going on?
I can't believe you'd do that.
What did you do?
Timm!
LUTHEN: Where'd you get it?
CASSIAN: What difference does that make?
I see three choices.
Either you're an Imperial spy,
you're fronting for the person I really want to speak to,
or you're the thing itself.
I see one choice.
Either you got my money or you don't.
(RATTLES)
LUTHEN: So which is it?
I know Bix has her game.
I know you bribe quartermasters to leave valuables on the ships
before they come in for scrap.
But this isn't that.
This isn't something they'd let pass.
No.
I went in and got this myself.
How? How's that possible?
It was... It was sealed on the Imperial Naval Base in Steergard.
Look, you got the money. I got the box.
What else is there to talk about?
I'll give you another thousand credits to tell me how you got it.
(CHUCKLES) Another thousand?
LUTHEN: Done.
How?
(SIGHS)
You just walk in like you belong.
- Takes more than that, doesn't it? - CASSIAN: What? To steal from the Empire?
What do you need?
A uniform, some dirty hands and an Imperial tool kit.
(SCOFFS) They're so proud of themselves, they don't even care.
They're so fat and satisfied, they can't imagine it.
Can't imagine what?
CASSIAN: That someone like me would ever get inside their house,
walk their floors,
spit in their food, take their gear.
The arrogance is remarkable, isn't it?
They don't even think about us.
Us? I don't know you.
LUTHEN: Fair enough. But I know you.
These days will end, Cassian Andor.
The way they laugh. The way they push through a crowd.
The sound of that voice telling you to stop, to go, to move.
Telling you to die.
Rings in the ear, doesn't it?
CASSIAN: Why don't you let me count that money?
But they'll think about us soon enough.
We should get moving.
Soon enough, they'll have something else to listen to.
You don't want to get caught with it.
Well, they'd hang me, wouldn't they?
Take me up Rix Road and hang me in the square.
Wouldn't be the first time, would it?
Isn't that where they hung your father?
- Who are you? -(GUN COCKING)
What is this?
LUTHEN: I said I know you.
I know all about you.
Yes, I want the box,
and I'll leave with that if it's all I can get.
I came looking for something more, and I think I've found it.
I'd like you to come with me.
How do you know about me?
I was hoping for a more relaxed conversation,
but you're right, we don't have time.
Contrary to what you told me, I doubt that you'll be stickin' around.
I know you killed two Corpos at Morlana-One,
and I know they're coming for you.
Seems like such a waste to let them have you.
Waste of talent.
(WHISPERING) Who are you?
That's the wrong question.
The right question is how much time do we have to get out of here.
Why would I go anywhere with you?
Don't you want to fight these bastards for real?

How did you get here?
I have a ship near the ferry lot.
Maybe you are the Imperial spy.
To what purpose?
If you knew they were coming for me, why would you be here now?
Special people are hard to find. I didn't want to see you tossed on the pyre.
I thought there was time to figure it out, but I was wrong.

(WHISPERING) What are they waiting for?
Reinforcements.
How were you getting out of here?
CASSIAN: My plan's gone.
And your ride is 40 klicks across the Wastelands.
We just need a speeder. What's our best option?
West. Into town.
Where does that go?
