INT. CHANCELLOR'S OFFICE - DAY
CHANCELLOR PALPATINE sits behind his desk with TWO RED-CLAD ROYAL GUARDS on either side of the door. YODA, PLOT KOON, KI-AD-MUNDI, and MACE WINDU sit acress from him. ... They all stand as SENATOR AMIDALA, CAPTAIN TYPHO, JAR JAR, MAS AMEDDA, DORME, and SENATORS BAIL ORGANA, HOROX RYYDER and ORN FREE TAA enter the office. YODA and MACE WINDU move to greet the SENATOR, YODA taps AMIDALA with his cane. YODA With you the force is strong... young Senator. To see you alive brings warm feeling to my heart. PADMÉ Thank you, Master Yoda. Do you have any idea who was behind the attack? |

MACE WINDU Our intelligence points to disgruntled spice miners, on the moons of Naboo. PADMÉ I don't wish to disagree but I think that Count Dooku was behind it. There is a stir of surprise. MACE WINDU You know, M'Lady, Count Dooku was once a Jedi. He wouldn't assassinate anyone, it is not in his character. KI-ADI-MUNDI He is a political idealist, not a murderer. |
|
|
YODA In dark times nothing is what it appears to be, but the fact remains Senator, in grave danger you are. PALPATINE gets up, walks to the window, and looks out at the vast city. PALPATINE Count Dooku has always avoided any kind of conflict. It appears he has no desire to start a war. Why would he kill you? To what end? PADMÉ I don't know, but everything in my being tells me he was behind it... After gazing out of the window for several moments Palpatine turns to Mace. |
|
|
PALPATINE Master Jedi, may I suggest that the Senator be placed under the protection of your graces. BAIL ORGANA Do you think that is a wise use of manpower during these stressful times? PADMÉ Chancellor, if I may comment, I do not believe the... PALPATINE ..."situation is that serious." No, but I do, Senator. PADMÉ Chancellor, please! I don't want any more guards! PALPATINE I realise all too well that additional security might be disruptive for you, but perhaps someone you are familiar with... an old friend like... Master Kenobi... PALPATINE nods to MACE WINDU, who nods back. |
|
|
MACE WINDU That's possible. He has just returned from a Border dispute on Ansion. PALPATINE You must remember him, M'Lady... he watched over you during the blockade conflict. PADMÉ This is not necessary, Chancellor. PALPATINE Do it for me, M'Lady, please. I will rest easier. We had a big scare today. The thought of losing you is unbearable. AMIDALA sighs as the JEDI get up to leave. MACE WINDU I will have Obi-Wan report to you immediately, M'Lady. |

EXT. SENATE APARTMENTS - TWILIGHT
A graceful skyscraper twinkles in the evening light of Coruscant. INT. SENATE BUILDING, APARTMENT CORRIDOR - EVENING The door to the apartment slides open. JAR JAR walks into the corridor, where TWO JEDI are exiting the elevator. He recognises OBI-WAN and becomes extremely excited, jumping around, shaking his hand. ... INT. SENATE BUILDING, APARTMENT - EVENING PADME is in a conference with CAPTAIN TYPHO and DORME. JAR JAR enters the room, followed by the TWO JEDI. JAR JAR Lookie... lookie... Oops!... Oh, dear, I'm afraid I've forgotten myself again. PADME and TYPHO rise as OBI-WAN and ANAKIN stop before the SENATOR. OBI-WAN steps forward. ANAKIN stares at PADME. She glances at him. OBI-WAN It's a great pleasure to see you again, M'Lady. |

PADMÉ
It has been far too long Master Kenobi. I'm so glad our paths have crossed again... but I must warn you that I think your presence here is unnecessary. OBI-WAN I'm sure the Jedi Council have their reasons. She moves in front of ANAKIN PADMÉ Annie?? (stares) My goodness you've grown. They look at each other for a long moment. ANAKIN (trying to be smooth) So have you... grown more beautiful, I mean... and much shorter... for a Senator, I mean. |
|
|
OBI-WAN looks disapprovingly at his apprentice. PADME laughs and shakes her head.
PADMÉ Oh Annie, you'll always be that little boy I knew on Tatooine. This embarrasses ANAKIN, and he looks down. OBI-WAN and CAPTAIN TYPHO smile. OBI-WAN Our presence will be invisible, M'Lady. CAPTAIN TYPHO I am very grateful you are here, Master Kenobi. The situation is more dangerous than the Senator will admit. PADMÉ I don't need more security, I need answers. I want to know who is trying to kill me. |
|
| OBI-WAN
(frowning) We're here to protect you Senator, not to start an investigation. ANAKIN We will find out who is trying to kill you Padmé, I promise you. He's done it again. He bites his lip in frustration and shame. OBI-WAN gives ANAKIN a dirty look. OBI-WAN We are not going to exceed our mandate, my young Padawan learner. ANAKIN I meant in the interest of protecting her, Master, of course. OBI-WAN We are not going through this exercise again, Anakin. You will pay attention to my lead. ANAKIN Why? OBI-WAN What??!! |
|
|
ANAKIN
Why else do you think we were assigned to her, if not to find the killer? Protection is a job for local security... not Jedi. It's overkill, Master. Investigation is implied in our mandate. OBI-WAN We will do as the Council has instructed, and you will learn your place, young one. PADMÉ Perhaps with merely your presence, the mysteries surrounding this threat will be revealed. Now if you will excuse me I will retire. Everyone gives AMIDALA a slight bow as she and DORME leave the room. |
