Enter Luke, Han, and Leia, under the cloaking device.

Luke. Chewie.

Luke starts to turn back.

Han. We can't. He'll be in worse trouble, if they know we've been to see him.

Leia. How . . . could . . . they? How could they?

Han. Come on.

Luke, Han, and Leia set off for the Temple.

Viceroy. Keep still. What's the matter with you, you stupid rat? O! You bit me.

Leia. Han. Be quiet. Omas will be here any moment.

Han. It's Viceroy. He won't keep still. What's the matter with you?

Enter Anji.

Leia. Anji, no. Go away. Anji. Go away.

Viceroy runs.

Han. Viceroy, no!

Han emerges from the cloaking device, chasing after Viceroy.

Leia. Han.

Invisibly, Luke and Leia chase after Han.

Han lunges and grabs Viceroy.

Han. Get away from him. Get away, you stupid cat.

Leia. Han. Come on. Get under the cloak. Yoda, the Chief of State. . . they'll be coming back any minute.

Enter Obi-Wan Kenobi, disguised as a vornskr.

Luke raises his lightsaber.

Kenobi lunges at Han and sticks his teeth into Han's outstretched arm.

Kenobi drags Han toward the Ithorian Bafforr.

Han struggles, as Kenobi pulls him toward the secret passageway.

Luke. Han.

Han sticks his leg around the base of the tree.

Kenobi pulls Han into the passageway, breaking his leg.

Exit Han, Kenobi, and Viceroy.

Leia. Luke. We've got to go for help.

Luke. No. That thing is big enough to eat him. We haven't got time.

Leia. Luke. We're never going to get through without help.

Luke. If that vornskr can get in, we can.

Each time Luke and Leia try to approach the Bafforr, its branches beat them back.

Leia. O! Help! Please! Help!

Anji lunges at the Bafforr and presses the knot on the tree.

The Bafforr freezes.

Anji. How did she know?

Luke. She's friends with that vornskr. I've seen them together. Come on. And keep your lightsaber out.

Luke and Leia remove the cloaking device.

Luke, Leia, and Anji slip into the passageway.

Leia. Where's Han?

Luke. This way.

Luke and Leia follow Anji.

Leia. Where do you suppose this goes?

Luke. I have a hunch. I just hope I'm wrong.

Luke, Leia, and Anji climb the stairs into a deserted room.

Leia. Luke. I think we're in the Valley of the Jedi.

Luke. If you say so.

Luke, Leia, and Anji enter a ransacked room.

Enter Han, lying on the floor, his injured leg extended.

Han.

Leia. Han. Are you okay?

Luke. Where's the vornskr?

Han. Luke. It's a trap. He's the vornskr. He's a Shi'ido.

Enter Kenobi, returned to his true appearance: graying auburn hair, blue-gray eyes, and bearded face.

Using the Force, Kenobi telekineses Luke and Leia's lightsabers into his hand.

Kenobi. I thought you'd come and help your friend. Your father would have done the same for me. Brave of you, not to run for a Master. I am grateful. It will make things much easier.

Han. If you want to kill Luke, you'll have to kill us, too.

Kenobi. Lie down. You will damage that leg even more.

Han. Did you hear me? You'll have to kill us, too.

Kenobi. Only one will die tonight.

Luke. Why is that? Didn't care last time, did you? You didn't mind slaughtering all of those beings to get to Gunray. What's the matter, gone soft on Kessel?

Leia. Luke. Be quiet.

Luke. He killed my mother and father!

Luke lunges at Kenobi and knocks him to the ground, disarming him.

Kenobi grabs Luke's throat.

Kenobi. No. I've waited too long.

Leia kicks Kenobi.

Kenobi releases Luke.

Anji leaps in between Luke and Kenobi, defending the latter.

Luke. No, you don't!

Luke, Han, and Leia retrieve their lightsabers.

Luke kicks Anji out of the way.

[to Han and Leia] Get out of the way.

Han and Leia back away.

Luke aims his lightsaber at Kenobi.

Kenobi. [laughs] Are you going to kill me, Luke?

Luke. You killed my parents.

Kenobi. I won't deny it. But if you knew the whole story . . .

Luke. The whole story? You sold them to Sidious. That's all I need to know.

Kenobi. You have got to listen to me. You'll regret it if you don't. You don't understand . . .

Luke. I understand a lot better than you think. You never heard her, did you? My mother, trying to stop Sidious from killing me . . . And you did that. You did it.

Anji leaps in front of Kenobi, defending him.

Kenobi. [to Anji] Get off.

Anji remains motionless, glaring at Luke.

Luke raises his lightsaber.

Enter Qui-Gon, lightsaber raised.

Using the Force, Qui-Gon disarms Luke, Han, and Leia.

Qui-Gon. Well, well, Obi-Wan, looking rather ragged, aren't we? Finally, the flesh reflects the madness within.

Kenobi. Well, you would know all about the madness within, wouldn't you, Qui-Gon?

Qui-Gon helps Kenobi to his feet.

Qui-Gon. Where is he, Obi-Wan?

Kenobi points at Viceroy.

But then, why hasn't he shown himself before now? Unless . . . unless you switched without telling me?

Kenobi nods.

Luke. Master. What's going on . . . ?

Qui-Gon lowers his lightsaber.

Qui-Gon and Kenobi embrace.

Kenobi. I found him.

Qui-Gon. I know.

Kenobi. It's him.

Qui-Gon. I understand.

Kenobi. Let's kill him.

Leia. No!

Luke. I trusted you! And all this time, you've been his friend!

Qui-Gon. You're wrong. I haven't been Obi-Wan's friend. But I am now. Let me explain . . .

Leia. No! Luke. Don't listen to him. He's been helping Kenobi into the Temple. He wants you dead, too. He's a Shistavanen. That's why he's been missing classes.

Qui-Gon. Not at all up to your usual standard, Leia. Only one out of three, I'm afraid. I have not been helping Obi-Wan into the Temple. And I certainly don't want Luke dead. But I won't deny that I am a Shistavanen.

Han tries to stand but falls back with a whimper of pain.

Qui-Gon moves toward Han, concerned.

Han. Get away from me, wolfman.

Qui-Gon. [to Leia] How long have you known?

Leia. Since Lord Vader set the essay.

Qui-Gon. He'll be delighted. He assigned that essay, hoping someone would realize what my symptoms meant. Did you check the lunar chart and realize I was always ill at the full moon? Or did you realize that the Gurlanin turned into the moon when it saw me?

Leia. Both.

Qui-Gon. Well, well, Leia, you really are the cleverest being your age I've ever met.

Leia. I'm not. If I were cleverer, I would have told everyone what you are.

Qui-Gon. They already know. The Masters do, in any case.

Han. Yoda hired you when he knew you were a wolfman? Is he space sick?

Qui-Gon. Some of the Masters thought so. He had to work very hard to convince some Masters that I'm trustworthy.

Luke. And he was wrong! You've helping him all this time!

Luke indicates Kenobi, who now sits on an old bed.

Qui-Gon. I have not been helping Obi-Wan. If you'll give me a chance, I'll explain. Look . . ,

Qui-Gon returns the lightsabers to their owners.

There. You're armed; we're not. Now will you listen?

Luke. If you haven't been helping him, how did you know he was here?

Qui-Gon. The map. The Star Map. I was in my quarters, examining it.

Luke. You know how to work it?

Qui-Gon. Of course, I know how to work it. I helped write it. I'm Sivrak. That was my friends' nickname for me at the Temple.

Luke. You wrote . . . ?

Qui-Gon. The important thing is, Luke, I was watching it carefully this evening, because I had an idea that you, Han, and Leia might try and sneak out of the Temple to visit Chewbacca before his varactyl was executed. And I was right, wasn't I? You might have been wearing your father's cloaking device, Luke . . .

Luke. How did you know about the cloak?

Qui-Gon. The number of times I saw Anakin's disappearing underneath it . . . The point is, even if you're wearing a cloaking device, you still show up on the Star Map. I watched you cross the grounds and enter Chewbacca's hut. Twenty minutes later, you left Chewbacca, and set off back toward the Temple. But you were now accompanied by somebody else.

Luke. What? No, we weren't.

Qui-Gon. I couldn't believe my eyes. I thought the map must be malfunctioning. How could he be with you?

Luke. No one was with us.

Qui-Gon. And then I saw another dot, fast moving toward you, labeled Obi-Wan Kenobi. I saw his collision with you; I watched as he pulled two of you into the Ithorian Bafforr . . .

Han. One of us.

Qui-Gon. No, Han. Two of you. Do you think I could have a look at that womp rat?

Han. What? What does Viceroy have to do with it?

Qui-Gon. Everything. Could I see him, please?

Han removes the womp rat from his pocket.

Qui-Gon examines Viceroy intently.

Han. What? What's my rat got to do with anything?

Kenobi. That's not a rat.

Han. What do you mean? Of course, he's a rat.

Qui-Gon. No, he's not. He's a former Jedi.

Kenobi. A Shi'ido, by the name of Nute Gunray.

Exit all.
