INT. CORUSCANT - BAIL ORGANA'S OFFICE - DAY
PADMÉ, BAIL ORGANA, and SENATORS MON MOTHMA, FANG ZAR, TERR TANEEL,
and GIDDEAN DANU sit in Senator Organa's office.
BAIL ORGANA
Now that he has control of the Jedi Council, the Chancellor has
appointed Governors to oversee all star systems in the Republic.
FANG ZAR
When did this happen?
BAIL ORGANA
The decree was posted this morning.
PADMÉ
Do you think he will dismantle the Senate?
MON MOTHMA
Why bother? As a practical matter, the Senate no longer exists.
GIDDEAN DANU
The constitution is in shreds. Amendment after amendment... executive
directives, sometimes a dozen in one day.
BAIL ORGANA
We can't let a thousand years of democracy disappear without a fight.
EVERYONE looks at each other, a little worried at the implications
of what was just said.
TERR TANEEL
What are you suggesting?
BAIL ORGANA
I apologize. I didn't mean to sound like a Separatist.
MON MOTHMA
We are not Separatists trying to leave the Republic. We are loyalists,
trying to preserve democracy in the Republic.
BAIL ORGANA
It has become increasingly clear to many of us that the Chancellor
has become an enemy of democracy.
PADMÉ
I can't believe it has come to this! Chancellor Palpatine is one
of my oldest advisors. He served as my Ambassador when I was Queen.
GIDDEAN DANU
Senator, I fear you underestimate the amount of corruption that
has taken hold in the Senate.
MON MOTHMA
The Chancellor has played the Senators well. They know where the
power lies, and they will do whatever it takes to share in it. Palpatine
has become a dictator and we have helped him to do it.
BAIL ORGANA
We can't sit around debating any longer. We have decided to do what
we can to stop it. Senator Mon Mothma and I are putting together
an organization...
PADMÉ
Say no more, Senator Organa. I understand. At this point, it's better
to leave some things unsaid.
BAIL ORGANA
Yes. I agree and we must not discuss this with anyone, without everyone
in this group agreeing.
MON MOTHMA
That means those closest to you... even family... no one can be
told.
They ALL nod their heads.
PADMÉ considers this for a moment.
PADMÉ
Agreed.

EXT. CORUSCANT - PADMÉ'S APARTMENT - VERANDA - SUNSET
Padmé's Speeder pulls up to the landing platform. CAPTAIN TYPHO
escorts PADMÉ onto the veranda, where TWO HANDMAIDENS (ELLÉ and
MOTEÉ) are waiting. PADMÉ turns to CAPTAIN TYPHO.
PADMÉ(

Thank you, Captain.
CAPTAIN TYPHO
Rest well, My Lady.
CAPTAIN TYPHO gets back into the Speeder, and it disappears into
the cityscape. The HANDMAIDENS, Moteé and Ellé, approach PADMÉ as
the SHADOW OF A FIGURE moves in the background.
C-3PO is standing nearby.
PADMÉ
I'll be up in a while.
MOTEÉ
Yes, my lady.
C-3PO stands, confused, as the HANDMAIDENS turn and exit.
C-3PO
Is there anything I might do for you, my lady?
PADMÉ
Yes, make sure all the security droids are working. Thank you, Threepio.
The golden droid turns and exits.

PADMÉ stands and watches the sunset. The SHADOWY FIGURE moves toward
her. She senses something.
ANAKIN
Beautiful, isn't it?
PADMÉ jumps and turns around.
PADMÉ
You startled me.
He sits next to her on the bench.
ANAKIN
How are you feeling?
PADMÉ He keeps kicking.
ANAKIN
He?! Why do you think it's a boy?
PADMÉ (laughs)
My motherly intuition.
She puts his hand on her belly.
ANAKIN
Whoa! With a kick that strong, it's got to be a girl.
They laugh.
PADMÉ
I heard about your appointment, Anakin. I'm so proud of you.
ANAKIN
I may be on the Council, but... they refused to accept me as a Jedi
Master.
PADMÉ
Patience. In time, they will recognize your skills.
ANAKIN
They still treat me as if I were a Padawan learner... they fear
my power, that's the problem.
PADMÉ
Anakin...
ANAKIN
Sometimes, I wonder what's happening to the Jedi Order... I think
this war is destroying the principles of the Republic.
