    BLACK SCREEN

    COUNTER: 8:00:00PM

    8:00:01 PM

    FOUR IMAGES fill the screen

    WEDGE watching as ANTHONY throws several items into a small duffel bag
    FACE shouting into his commlink
    IELLA creeping through a darkened alley
    TEMPLE overseeing the digging on Maxtrilla

    FACE fills the screen

    FACE: What the hell is going on in there?

    WES appear in split screen.

    WES: The whole building's down.

    FACE waves his arm.

    FACE: Move in, move in. I want this area tightened up. I'm taking no chances on an escape.

    WES: I talked to him in there. I don't think this is a bluff.

    FACE: Be that as it may, I'm taking no chances.

    NRI shock troops sprint past FACE, weapons at the ready.

    FACE: Get out of there, Wes. You've done enough for today.

    WES: Understatement of the year award just got all sown up.

    FACE: Granted.

    TEMPLE on Maxtrilla directing the digging. A soldier rushes up to him.

    SOLDIER: Sir.

    TEMPLE: Yes.

    SOLDIER: Word from Coruscant.

    TEMPLE: We're under a communications blackout with Coruscant.

    SOLDIER: Sir.

    TEMPLE takes the commlink, frowning.

    TEMPLE: Temple here.

    PELLEAON appears in split screen.

    PELLEAON: Officer Temple, this is Gilead Pelleaon.

    TEMPLE: Sir. At your service.

    PELLEAON: What news on the search for the evidence to clear Anthony?

    TEMPLE: We have found the field, sir, after being repulsed by NR forces. We are in command of the cemetary, but extensive action has changed the landscape. We haven't found the evidence yet.

    PELLEAON: Today is a bad day for the Empire.

    TEMPLE: Sir?

    PELLEAON: The treaty has not been signed. An attempt was made on my life.

    TEMPLE: Sir, all our hopes are on you today.

    PELLEAON: I realize that. I believe it is time to withdraw, officer Temple. Our gambit with Anthony has failed. I will be content to see this treaty signed and tomorrow's sun dawn; I care no more for bargaining power.

    TEMPLE: As you wish, sir.

    PELLEAON: Fine work today, Temple.

    TEMPLE: I've done my best, sir.

    PELLEAON: Good day.

    TEMPLE: Yes, sir.

    RILTER seated at a table in a smoky bar. On the holoplayer above the bar, coverage of the assassination attempt is playing.

    REPORTER: And while this has not yet been confirmed by any authorities, it does appear that the building inside the hanger bay behind us was destroyed purposely by the would be assassin, though whether as part of the assassination attempt or an effort to cover his escape we are not sure.

    RILTER pulls out his commlink and thumbs it on. In a split screen, a commlink appears, clipped to a figure's belt. It buzzes incessantly. A hand reaches down and pulls the commlink off the belt. The figure raises the commlink to his face. It is DAN.

    REPORTER: We've just received a bulletin. Apparently, the building was destroyed in a suicide blast. The would be assassin is presumed dead inside the rubble. NRI crews are currently searching the rubble for the body, hoping to find some clue as to the identity. . .

    DAN, pausing for an instant in scaffolding high above the hanger bay, returns the commlink to his belt and then disappears into the shadows. RILTER smirks and thumbs the commlink off.

    RILTER: I wonder . . .

    Yeah, you just keep wondering Rilter. [face_not_talking]

    JULIAN at the door watching as ANTHONY disappears into the darkness. He turns to WEDGE:

    JULIAN: Okay. Just stay quiet and we got no trouble, okay? I don't want violence any more than you do.

    WEDGE: What's your friend up too?

    JULIAN: Hardly a friend. I owed him a favor.

    WEDGE: The question stands.

    JULIAN: I don't know. Something important though.

    WEDGE: How do you know?

    JULIAN: I know him a bit. He never gets this serious unless its a grudge match.

    WEDGE: Grudge match? With the government? Pelleaon?

    JULIAN: Damned if I know friend. Damned if I know.

    WEDGE slumps back in his seat. He glances at the window. In the mist, the number five has been scrawled on the wet glass. As he watches, a hand swipes it away. WEDGE glances at his chrono and then shifts slightly in his seat.

    PELLEAON in his communications center. His SECOND IN COMMAND (SIC) approaches.

    SIC: Sir, communication incoming from Coruscant.

    PELLEAON: Gavrisom?

    SIC: Yes, sir.

    PELLEAON: Patch it through.

    PELLEAON watches as GAVRISOM appears via holocomm.

    GAVRISOM: Gilead. Are you well?

    PELLEAON: As well as can be expected for a man as old as I am.

    GAVRISOM: Still stronger than most, Gilead.

    PELLEAON: Ponc . . .

    GAVRISOM: Are we prepared?

    PELLEAON: This treaty . . . we will sign it today.

    GAVRISOM: Yes.

    PELLEAON: I will not let another day of pointless bloodshed go by.

    GAVRISOM: Is our transmission secure?

    PELLEAON: As secure as I can make it.

    GAVRISOM: Make it double sure. Pick a place to land. Make it double sure. And then let me know. I'll meet you anywhere. And this treaty will be signed in the hanger bay if you want.

    PELLEAON gives a tired half-smile.

    PELLEAON: Your effort is appreciated, my friend. Your office will be fine.

    GAVRISOM: I await your call.

    PELLEAON: Double sure.

    GAVRISOM: Today of all days.

    GAVRISOM disappears and PELLEAON stares into space for a long moment.

    FACE standing in the hanger bay watching the NR Excavation Team go into the collapsed building. WES walks up to him.

    WES: Anything?

    FACE: What are you still doing here?

    WES: Disobeying orders.

    FACE: Well, it's good to know that, even on a day like today, somethings are certain.

    WES: Insubordination?

    FACE: Insubordination.

    WES: I fill a particular void, don't I?

    FACE: I don't know if I'd say that. Seriously, Wes, go home. We put more on you today than you needed.

    WES: You know that guy? The one I chased in there?

    FACE: Yeah.

    WES: I'd like to make sure he's dead.

    FACE: You were the one who . . .

    WES: I know. I'd like to be sure.

    FACE: Go home.

    WES: Okay.

    WES starts to walk away.

    WES: Oh, Face.

    FACE: Yeah?

    WES: When I saw him today . . . when I saw him up there . . . I was surprised.

    FACE: Really?

    WES: See, I thought he died once before. Day kinda like this one.

    FACE: I don't think there have been many days like this one.

    WES: You see why I want to be sure.

    FACE: I'll call you as soon as we know.

    WES: Do that.

    IELLA checking her chrono outside JULIAN's hideout. She draws her blaster and slowly makes her way back to the window. A quick glance inside shows JULIAN with his back to the door. WEDGE spots her and meets her gaze. IELLA ducks back out of sight.

    WEDGE: Julian.

    JULIAN: What?

    WEDGE: How about something to drink?

    JULIAN: Next you'll be wanting to go to the refresher, I suppose.

    WEDGE: You have begun to grasp rudimentary biology, I see.

    JULIAN: Smart guy.

    JULIAN stands and walks toward the kitchen. As he passes the front door, it slides open and IELLA steps in. WEDGE starts to stand and then freezes. IELLA has her hands in the air and ANTHONY is just behind her, his blaster nestled against her spine.

    ANTHONY: Julian.

    JULIAN: I appreciate the thought, but I'd rather have a nice hot meal than a girl right now, thanks.

    ANTHONY: I really have to be going now. This little lady would have snapped you right in half, wouldn't she? Lucky thing I saw her prowling aobut as I was leaving.

    JULIAN: Look, Anthony, I'm doing the best I know to do . . .

    ANTHONY: I know. That's why I'm taking no more chances.

    ANTHONY raises the blaster and strikes IELLA on the back of the head with a quick chopping motion. She collapses. WEDGE leaps from his seat.

    WEDGE: You . . .

    ANTHONY levels his blaster and fires. The stun bolt strikes WEDGE pushing him back into the chair, which topples over, spilling him to the floor.

    JULIAN: Sithspawn . . .

    ANTHONY: Didn't want anyone to get hurt. But this gets more complicated every second and I have no time to waste. Drag them in the back room and lock them in. I'll be back as soon as possible.

    JULIAN: By the Force . . .

    ANTHONY: Yes, I suppose I'd best lock them up myself as well. At least give me a hand here.

    ANTHONY bends and hoists IELLA onto his shoulder.

    FAUCHLEVENT looking up from his map on MAXTRILLA. A soldier approaches and salutes.

    FAUCHLEVLENT: What is it now?

    SOLDIER: Sir, a radio message from Temple's group.

    FAUCHLEVENT: What is it?

    SOLDIER: He wants to discuss terms of surrender.

    FAUCHLEVENT: He does, does he? Fool. Tell him the only terms I will accept is unconditional.

    KYL walks up.

    KYL: Are you sure that's wise?

    FAUCHLEVENT: I think you've done enough today. Locking up my second in command . . .

    KYL: For insubordination.

    FAUCHLEVENT: During a battle.

    KYL: Unconditional surrender? Kriff, man, it's the last day of the war.

    FAUCHLEVENT: I honestly don't understand you bleeding hearts and your insane half measures. I don't care if it's the last minute of the damn war. War is war and if it's not over yet, I intend to fight it until it is. And fight it to win.

    KYL: There are ways of winning that do not involve the complete destruction of your enemy.

    FAUCHLEVENT: I'm not aware of any.

    KYL: I think an honorable peace would be one.

    FAUCHLEVENT scratches his head.

    FAUCHLEVENT: Soldier.

    SOLDIER: Sir.

    FAUCHLEVENT: Return Temple's message. Say I'll talk to him. In one hour. Here; he's to come with only his personal staff and under a white flag.

    KYL: You're doing the right thing.

    FAUCHLEVENT: The day I look to you for approval, I cut my own throat.

    KYL shakes his head and walks away. FAUCHLEVENT pulls out his commlink.

    FAUCHLEVENT: The right thing? You have no idea just how right.

    FACE: Sir.

    GAVRISOM: Face. We have had a narrow escape.

    FACE: Yes, sir.

    GAVRISOM: I don't want another one.

    FACE: Yes, sir.

    GAVRISOM: I have just been in contact with Pelleaon. We are looking for another landing site. And when we decide on it, I want every man we have there. Every single one.

    FACE: Yes, sir. I'll begin readying them now.

    GAVRISOM: Oh, Face. Any sign of this shooter?

    FACE: It'll be a slow job, sir. But not yet, no. No sign.

    GAVRISOM: That troubles me.

    FACE: Yes, sir, me too. But we will be ready.

    GAVRISOM: I will be in contact with you. Gather your men. Every available one.

    FACE: Air tight, sir.

    GAVRISOM: It had better be.
