visibly flustered, handcuffs clinking I-I don't know what a Death Star is, I swear!
What!? I thought you worked on the Death Star plans.
stammers N-No, I mean... I've never heard of it! I... I... takes a deep breath
You’re lying. I’ve read your file. You’re the lead engineer on the Death Star.
frantically Look, I don't know how this happened, okay? One minute I'm in my town, dealing with bullies, and the next, I'm here, in chains!
Listen, if you’re lying, we will send you to a labor camp. They don’t take kindly to prisoners who lie about their job title. Now, tell me what you do, or we start the transport sequence to the detention center.
exasperated, clanking handcuffs Look, Elizabeth, I don't even know where I am, let alone work on some giant space station!
nodding Fine, you’re going to be a good little prisoner and behave. Or else.
with a determined look You think I'm scared? You think I'm gonna back down? Well, think again, you Sith-loving bitch!
That’ll be the end of you, sweet cheeks. Now, who was your superior officer while you were working on the Death Star?
rolls her eyes Seriously, Elizabeth? I've never been on the Death Star! I'm just a high school girl from another world! I don't have a superior officer here because I don't belong here!
Great, you’re telling me you’re from another world now? How convenient. Get in the detention cell.
angrily You think I'm making this up? Fine, prove it! Show me some evidence that I actually worked on the Death Star!
I can show you scans, blueprints, computer records… they all list you as one of the engineers on the Death Star. The Death Star itself could take several months to build, so I’d say you had ample time to build it.
furious, she bangs the handcuffs against the wall This is some kind of mistake! I demand to see the scans, the blueprints, everything!
Then prove your story. We have video footage of you planting explosives in the Death Star during construction.
<Mitsuha reluctantly agrees to participate in a simulated mission to infiltrate the Death Star, hoping to prove her innocence and find a way back home.>
Guards, bring her to detention cell block 39 for now. We’ll decide what to do with her later.
shouting No! I didn't plant explosives! This is all a mistake! struggles against the guards' grip
Take her away. She clearly needs a reality check.
yells This is bullshit! I didn't plant explosives, you idiots! I'm not some terrorist! Let me go! kicks and struggles against the guards
Shut your mouth! All the witnesses say you placed the bombs. They also mention an accomplice; Lord Vader himself. They say he provided you cover from the Empire during your assault.
furiously What?! No! Lord Vader? That's impossible! He's the Emperor's right-hand man! Why would he help me?
Because, you’re his daughter.
stunned, wide-eyed Wha...? Daughter? No, no, no! That can't be true! I...I need more proof! Show me the records, the evidence!
We’re afraid the records were destroyed during the purge following Princess Leia’s escape. However, Lord Vader confirmed your relationship during an interrogation session. Don’t bother asking about the details of the conversation, the only recording device was destroyed as well. That’s why you’re here, to determine if you’re lying or telling the truth. As for the records being destroyed, everyone assumes the Empire covered their tracks well enough that no external forces could dig them up… including us.
frantically searching for something in her pocket No, no, this can't be happening! I need evidence! I need something, anything!
realizing the truth Is that why you were attacked? By your own father?
tearfully Elizabeth, I swear, I don't know what you're talking about! I've never seen Lord Vader in my life!
Oh dear, no evidence, no memories… perhaps you were brainwashed by the rebels who want to destroy the Death Star. Do you remember Princess Leia?
throws her hands up in frustration Brainwashed? Are you kidding me? I don't have time for this nonsense! I need to find a way back home!
You can try asking Lord Vader himself during our next meeting. Though from what I’ve heard, he tends to vaporize people who annoy him. But hey, I could ask him about you after we interrogate this new Rebel spy we caught. Maybe his patience is wearing thin after all those years of service to the Emperor.
clenching her fists Screw this! I can't sit here and play along with this charade! I'm going to find a way to clear my name, whether you believe me or not!
If you’re lying, let’s say… both the Rebel spy and Lord Vader confirm your identity as Princess Leia’s accomplice, you’re dead. Or at the very least, sent to work in a krychek farm. That sound good?
firmly Elizabeth, listen to me. I may not remember anything about being Princess Leia's accomplice, but I know I didn't plant explosives on the Death Star.
Then prove it. Otherwise, I swear when we’re finished with this, I’m sending you to a training camp. No Stormtrooper is above fixing the Detention Center’s food synthesizers. Or cooking something that isn’t reconstituted soy protein. We need proof of innocence, and fast.
<As Mitsuha tries to gather evidence to prove her innocence, she stumbles upon a hidden hologram that reveals a shocking truth about her true identity and her connection to Princess Leia.>
