Plot summary[]
Extortion on Kafrene[]
At the Ring of Kafrene, a male human merchant refuses to part with a necklace consisting of precious gems for one credit. He says they are worth many more times than what she is offering. The human woman offers to sweeten the deal by telling him that her husband is a very important Imperial officer. She gestures to a pair of stormtroopers arresting an Aqualish merchant and impounding his merchandise.
She warns him that she can summon the troopers to inspect his business license or he can accept her very generous offer. The merchant reluctantly surrenders the necklace and grumbles that she doesn't care if he starves. The woman turns to face a mirror. While admiring the necklace, a dark-skinned woman named Lena says she senses she has been chosen by the Force.
Stealing and resistance[]
Lena introduces herself and says she is a mystic seer who senses her power. As the Imperial woman laughs, Lena tells her that she senses a glimpse of her future and tells her to take her hands and close her eyes. The woman obliges and a green Kowakian monkey-lizard named Zradca emerges from a stall. While Radca steals the necklace, Lena tells her that she senses a burden being lifted. She tells Radca to search in the right pocket of the Imperial woman. Her accomplice retrieves a gem.
Before leaving, the Imperial woman says she always suspected the Force flowing through her and thanks her. Lena thanks the lady. She returns the necklace to the human merchant while pocketing the woman's gem. Later, she praises Radca for the haul, which consists of several credits and the gem. Lena regards the monkey-lizard as an honest partner in a dishonest business. Lena hopes to save up enough credits to head to Canto Bight where the living is easy.
Helping Chewbacca and Zradca's betrayal[]
Just then, Lena hears blasters and sees a squad of stormtroopers racing down the street firing their blasters. The stormtroopers are chasing the Wookiee Chewbacca through the streets and corner him at a stall. Before the stormtroopers can stun him, Lena unties a red tent on top of them.
Lena then hides Chewbacca inside a rug and poses as a rug merchant. She showcases her merchandise. The stormtroopers fall for her ruse and continue their hunt for Chewbacca elsewhere. Lena tells Chewbacca he is clear and the two embrace. Lena tells Chewbacca she is welcome and that any enemy of the Empire is a friend of hers. She explains that the local stormtroopers take pride in harassing anyone they can.
She warns them that they will be back soon. However, the two of them are stunned and knocked unconscious. As Lena fades into unconsciousness, she sees a stormtrooper thanking her monkey-lizard friend Radca for the tip. Radca laughs as Lena mumbles in shock that she thought they were partners.
The Great Train Escape[]
A panoramic shot of a 20-T Railcrawler conveyex transport traveling across the mountains of Kethmandi. The driver tells Corporal Estoc that speed is optimum and that they will reach Kethmandi prison right on schedule. Estoc is pleased and boasts that if things go according to plan she would have delivered her ten thousandth prisoner without incident. She adds that this is a perfect record unmatched by anyone in the Empire. The second officer says it is meal time and Estoc orders him to serve the prisoners their slop.
In her cell, a service droid serves Lena and the other prisoners slop as their daily food ration, claiming it has all the nutrients they need to make them productive members of their hard labor camp. Lena learns that Chewbacca is also a prisoner and remarks this is supremely unfair. She vows to escape and refuses to eat this slop.
Lena decides to use the service droid as part of her plan and tells Chewbacca to follow her lead. As the service droid is about to dispense food to a Rodian prisoner, Lena alerts the droid but the droid tells her that she has already receive her ration. Lena mesmerizes the droid by telling him that the Force is strong with him. While distracted, Chewbacca sneaks up from behind on the droid.
She tells the droid that he is serving a greater purpose: their escape. Chewbacca jumps on top of the droid and reconfigures his part. The two overload the slop dispenser in the droid, causing an explosion in their carriage. The droid complains that was embarrassing while Lena and Chewbacca climb out of the hole at the top of their carriage.
Skirmish aboard the train[]
In the conveyex train's cockpit, the second officer reports a security breach as a camera show the two prisoners climbing out. Fearing that her perfect record will be tarnished, Corporal Estoc orders her troops to secure the prisoners. Several range troopers pursue Lena and Chewbacca on top of the train, trapping them on both sides.
As the conveyex train approaches a diamond shaped tunnel in a cliff, it rotates 90 degrees to fit in said tunnel. The range troopers are able to stay on with their gription boots while Lena and Chewbacca hang for dear life. The two manage to cling on to the chain linking two carriages. Chewbacca tells Lena to jump while he stays behind.
Chewbacca throws Lena into a river before climbing up the carriage and attacking the range troopers. He throws one down into the ravine below and throws another into his comrades. While Lena surfaces in the river, Chewbacca manages to shoot several range troopers down but is stunned by Estoc. She orders the remaining range troopers to seize that Wookiee and form a search party to find that prisoner. Estoc struggles to control her anger by telling herself that the perfect record could still be hers.
Crossing paths[]
Lena describes the big-hearted Wookiee as a great partner before hiding from a TIE striker. Later, a disguised Lena sneaks into the Kethmandi settlement where she sees Estoc ordering stormtroopers to find her. Lena hides behind a wall only to bump into Graballa. Graballa chides her for not seeing him standing here. Korda tried to move away but Dengar blocks her path.
He shows Lena a hologram of Pace and asks if she has seen him. Nearby, Pace is using a wrench to tighten a screw. He grumbles that he is stuck on Kethmandi, remarking that it is worse than Corellia. Pace sees Graballa and his henchmen. Lena tells Graballa she hasn't seen him. Graballa asks her to take another look and entices her with the offer of a reward.
Lena heads to a landspeeder only to discover Pace hiding inside. Just then, the two of them are recognized by a stormtrooper and Dengar respectively. Estoc orders her stormtroopers to pursue Lena while Graballa tells Dengar to get Pace as well. The stormtroopers and Dengar pursue the fugitives on speeder bikes.
Escaping the Empire and Graballa[]
As Lena races through the streets of Kethmandi, Pace tells her to watch. During the journey, Lena asks Pace for his name and tells Pace to stop telling her to watch out. Pace warns that she will hit something as she crashes into a machine. When Lena realizes that Pace is the guy the Hutt wanted, she remarks that he doesn't seem like the type. Pace retorts that she "kind of do."
As the stormtroopers catch up, the two approach two cargo transports. Pace tells her to break but Lena says hold on. Lena races through the transports. Two of the stormtroopers manage to brake their bikes but the third rider crashes into them. The two park their stolen speeder in the outskirts of Kethmandi.
The two quickly realize that they want to get off the planet but that both lack the credits to do so. When Lena says she could turn him over to the Hutt, Pace responds that he could turn her over to the Empire first. Lena proposes a truce and asks how they are getting off the planet. Pace sees a cargo container and tells her he has an idea.
Lena is dismissive of his idea but Pace reassures her he has done it before. Pace spots one going to Canto Bight. Lena admits she always wanted to go there and Pace says me too. The two hide inside the crate bound for Canto Bight. Outside, an Imperial officer tells the labor droid that the crate is bound for Vandor. Lena and Pace realize too late as their crate is loaded aboard a Gozanti-class cruiser.
