Star Wars: Reconstruction

Traitor

INT. KAYMOORN JAIL HOLDING CELL (TRALGARIA) - DAY

The holding cell has been repurposed into an interrogation chamber. There is a First Order interrogation chair in the middle of the cell. In the interrogation chair is the Tralgarian guerrilla fighter that GENERAL HUX stunned and captured. GENERAL HUX stands in front of the Tralgarian with First Order Security Bureau AGENT LORUS. GENERAL HUX's arm is still in a sling.

First Order Security Bureau AGENT LORUS is a young blonde woman. She wears special goggles that allow her to translate what the Tralgarian says in Huttese into Aurebesh. AGENT LORUS holds a remote to the interrogation chair.

TRALGARIAN CAPTIVE (IN HUTTESE)
You'll get nothing from me you
thugs!

AGENT LORUS
Sir, the Tralgarian refuses to
co-operate.

GENERAL HUX
Of course this freedom fighter,
or whatever they're calling
themselves, says this. It's what
they think is right. But we know
the truth.

GENERAL HUX stands closely in front of TRALGARIAN CAPTIVE. GENERAL HUX holds up the stolen F-11D blaster rifle the TRALGARIAN CAPTIVE was carrying so they can see it.

GENERAL HUX (CONT'D)
You are no fighter, and you did
not steal this unassigned and
never used blaster rifle, it was
given to you. By whom?

AGENT LORUS (IN HUTTESE)
Who gave you the...

GENERAL HUX
No no Agent Lorus. Don't
translate. He may not speak our
language but I think the
Tralgarian knows exactly what I
just said.

TRALGARIAN CAPTIVE (IN HUTTESE)
I won't tell you anything.

AGENT LORUS
He says...

GENERAL HUX
That he won't tell me who gave
him his blaster. I know.

GENERAL HUX steps back and places the blaster rifle on the bed of the holding cell. COMMANDER SORGE opens the door to the holding cell and tries to enter.

GENERAL HUX (CONT'D)
Wait for me in the hall Commander
Sorge.

COMMANDER SORGE says nothing, he closes the door to the cell before getting the chance to step inside.

GENERAL HUX (CONT'D)
The only thing that will break
the Tralgarian is time. Continue
your interrogation.

GENERAL HUX exits. AGENT LORUS presses a button and the Tralgarian is electrocuted.

CUT TO:

INT. KAYMOORN JAIL HALLS (TRALGARIA) - DAY

GENERAL HUX and COMMANDER SORGE walk together down the halls of the jail.

COMMANDER SORGE
Sir, do you think the Tralgarian
will say who the traitor is?

GENERAL HUX
If I didn't think he'd talk I
wouldn't have set my blaster to
stun Sorge. Is that your reason
for the interruption?

COMMANDER SORGE
No sir. I wanted to report that
Tralgarian Queen, Ola Kilto was
spotted in the westward badlands.
She's working with the
insurgents.

GENERAL HUX
Have you engaged?

COMMANDER SORGE
My troops have not, but General
Pryde's soldiers did. They got
into a skirmish with the
guerrilla fighters and the Queen
escaped.
