S1E6 · The Eye

Complete story — includes the ending

Aided by Gorn, the rebels infiltrate the garrison by posing as an escort squad for Gorn's superior, Commandant Jayhold Beehaz. As the Dhanis arrive and begin to celebrate The Eye, the group take Beehaz's family hostage, kill a colonel, and force Beehaz to give them access to the payroll vault. While loading the credits onto a freighter, the group are discovered by Imperial forces. Gorn and Taramyn are killed in the ensuing firefight and Cinta escapes on foot disguised as an officer, while Cassian, Nemik, Skeen, and Vel escape aboard the freighter. Nemik is crushed by an unsecured load of credits on takeoff, but is able to navigate Cassian through The Eye to safety. Landing on a remote planet to tend to Nemik's severe and ultimately fatal injuries, Skeen secretly proposes to Cassian that they betray Vel and split the payroll between themselves. Cassian kills Skeen, reports the conversation to Vel, and informs her of his intention to take the sum he was promised as payment, leaving her the rest, including Luthen's crystal. Vel gives Cassian Nemik's manifesto in accordance with his dying wish. Back on Coruscant, the ISB agents are gathered to formulate reprisals to the heist, while Luthen quietly celebrates.
