This time we will do it together.
I was about to say that.
Chancellor Palpatine Get help. You're no match for him, he's a Sith Lord.
Your swords, please. We don't want to make a mess of things in front of the Chancellor.
You won't get away this time, Dooku.
I've been looking forward to this.
My powers have doubled since the last time we met, Count.
Good. Twice the pride, double the fall.
Chancellor Palpatine [Anakin has Dooku on his knees. Having cut off Dooku's hands and caught his lightsaber, Anakin is about to finish the job] [joyful]
Good, Anakin, good. [suddenly turns sinister] Kill him. Kill him now. [Dooku looks shocked]
Chancellor Palpatine [Angrily]
Do it.
Chancellor Palpatine [Anakin decapitates Dooku]
You did well, Anakin. He was too dangerous to be kept alive.
Yes, but he was an unarmed prisoner. I shouldn't have done that, it's not the Jedi way.
Chancellor Palpatine It is only natural. He cut off your arm, and you wanted revenge. It wasn't the first time, Anakin. Remember what you told me about your mother and the Sand People?
You wanted to see me, Chancellor.
Chancellor Palpatine
Yes, Anakin. Come closer, I have good news. Our Clone Intelligence Units have discovered the location of General Grievous. He's hiding, in the Utapau system.
At last! We'll be able to capture that monster and end this war.
Chancellor Palpatine
I would worry about the collective wisdom of the Council if they didn't select you for this assignment. You are the best choice, by far. Sit down. Anakin, you know I'm not able to rely on the Jedi Council. If they haven't included you in their plot, they soon will.
I'm not sure I understand.
Chancellor Palpatine
You must sense what I have come to suspect. The Jedi Council want control of the Republic. They're planning to betray me.
I don't think--
Chacellor Palpatine
Anakin. Search your feelings. You know, don't you?
I know they don't trust you.
Chancellor Palpatine
Or the Senate. Or the Republic. Or democracy, for that matter.
I have to admit, my trust in them has been shaken.
Chacellor Palpatin
Why? They asked you to do something that made you feel dishonest, didn't they? They asked you to spy on me, didn't they?
I don't know what to say.
Chancellor Palpatine
Remember back to your early teachings, Anakin. All those who gain power are afraid to lose it. Even the Jedi.
The Jedi use their power for good.
Chancellor Palpatine
Good is a point of view, Anakin. The Sith and the Jedi are similar in almost every way. Including their quest for greater power.
The Sith rely on their passion for their strength. They think inward, only about themselves.
Chancellor Palpatine
And the Jedi don't?
The Jedi are selfless. They only care about others.
Chancellor Palpatine
Did you ever hear the tragedy of Darth Plagueis the Wise?
No.
Chancellor Palpatine
I thought not. It's not a story the Jedi would tell you. It's a Sith legend. Darth Plagueis was a Dark Lord of the Sith, so powerful and so wise. He could use the Force to influence the midi-chlorians to create... life. He had such a knowledge of the Dark Side that he could even keep the ones he cared about... from dying.
He could actually... save people from death?
Chancellor Palpatine
The Dark Side of the Force is a pathway to many abilities some consider to be unnatural.
What happened to him?
Chancellor Palpatine
He became so powerful, the only thing he was afraid of was... losing his power which, eventually of course, he did. Unfortunately, he taught his apprentice everything he knew. And then his apprentice killed him in his sleep. Ironic. He could save others from death... but not himself.
Is it possible to learn this power?
Chancellor Palpatine
Not from a Jedi.
In the name of the Galactic Senate of the Republic, you are under arrest, Chancellor.
Chancellor Palpatine Are you threatening me, Master Jedi?
The Senate will decide your fate.
Chancellor Palpatine I am the Senate!
Not yet.
Chancellor Palpatine It's treason, then.
