Guard! Guard! What's going on?
Guard!
Keep quiet.
Tell me what's happening.
Has there been an attack?
Just be glad you're not a Jedi anymore.
By tomorrow they won't exist.
Stand up, Barriss Offee.
Lyn?
I don't go by that name anymore.
Things have changed.
What does the Jedi Council want?
I am not here on behalf of the Council.
You are serving a life sentence for crimes against the Republic.
But at your trial, you accused the Jedi of murder and treason.
It seems you were right after all.
The Jedi tried to assassinate Chancellor Palpatine.
What does this mean for me?
It means I'm here to present you with an opportunity, Barriss.
A rare and precious opportunity.
Will you take it?
- Barriss? - Dante.
It's good to see a familiar face.
I thought you were in prison.
Nice to see you too, Ahmar.
Now that you've all arrived, we may begin.
You're here because the Jedi failed the Republic.
And now that they're gone, we must build a new coven
to ensure the security of our empire.
What empire?
The Republic has been reorganized
into the First Galactic Empire, Barriss Offee.
Out of chaos, Emperor Palpatine will bring order.
But the task will not be easy.
His vision must be protected at all costs.
Prove yourselves worthy of this task today,
and you may join us.
For now, you may go to your quarters.
I advise you not to leave until we meet again.
We need to get out of here.
What are you talking about?
What he said back there doesn't sound any better than the Jedi, Dante.
Whatever all this is, it's not what we thought.
I wouldn't.
Why should we listen to you?
W-What about us?
What happens when they find out you're gone?
That's not my problem.
Follow me.
Your friend had a terrible accident.
Sadly, we must proceed without him.
I told him not to go.
You were wise.
Please take the boy.
Barriss, come with me.
The lessons you learned from the Jedi greatly limit your power.
But I will help you overcome this weakness.
I don't understand.
Take this weapon and attack me.
You're not armed.
I don't need to be.
Go ahead.
You're holding back. It makes you predictable.
Try again.
Stop fighting like a Jedi. Attack.
Better.
Now I feel your anger.
Mercy only breeds defeat.
Perhaps you're not as powerful as we...
I must confess, you've impressed us.
You both have.
Unfortunately, there is only room in our ranks for one.
And so, you must face one final test.
You may choose not to fight, of course.
In which case, both of you will die.
We don't have to do this.
They won't kill us.
They killed Ahmar, didn't they?
- What are you doing? - Embracing the future.
Welcome, Sister.
Brothers, sisters. Enter.
Now, it is time you meet your new Master.
Rise, Inquisitors.
Long live the Empire.
