Sabine tells Hydan that he is merely a pawn , something Hydan is aware off and believes his power to simply be a reflection of the might of the Emperor . Sabine taunts Hydan , claiming that for all the power the Emperor has , he still managed to fail where both she and Ezra had succeeded . He smugly responds that Ezra is not safe beyond the veil and that it is only a matter of time before the Emperor finds him , that it is in Sabine ' s best interest to work with him if she wants any chance of saving Ezra . During their conversation , Sabine comes to the realisation that the portal is not just a door into the Temple , with Hydan interjecting that it is a pathway into all time and that whoever controls it , controls the very universe itself .

Hera notes that the Imperials took Sabine into one of the buildings on the far side of the camp and worries for her safety .

Back in the command center , Hydan tells Sabine that he found those paintings while he was exploring the former Jedi Temple on Coruscant . Sabine replies that she is still not interested . Hydan sees through her facade and turns his attention to the Mortis " gods " , who he says featured prominently in Jedi history . Sabine says that they were archetypes . Hydan agrees and says they are also referred to as the Father , Son , and Daughter . He then asks if she notices anything different about their depiction on the Lothal Jedi Temple . Sabine feigns ignorance and Hydan warns her not to mistake his pleasant demeanor for weakness . He adds that the paintings have changed with the loth - wolves having moved away from the portal . Hydan also notices that the position of the Daughter ' s head and the Father ' s hand have changed since Ezra ' s arrival . Hydan asks Sabine about her perspective as a pair of death trooper s enter the room . With little choice , Sabine tells him that the hands are a language . Hydan replies that he could not find any similarity between this and other languages . When he demands to know how she can read it , Sabine reiterates that she is smarter than him . Hydan responds that the Mandalorian in her only understands one form of discourse . At Hydan ' s signal , one of the death troopers strikes Sabine in the head with his blaster rifle .
