…I got to see what was happening on that platform before you got there.
The man in white had the stormtroopers aim on the scientists. Dr Erso put himself in front of them. I wasn't sure at the time— [couldn't trust his own interpretations when he wanted…] —but I don't think there's another way to read it: the leak was discovered and Dr Erso tried to give himself up to save his team. The man in white killed the scientists anyway and struck Dr Erso to the ground.
It was too far away to read lips. But if the man in white did that… whatever he said next would have been designed to make your father despair.
Having 'so much more to tell' you… those are words of hope.
It doesn't make up for how it happened—how we failed you… but I don't think you failed him, Jyn. You transformed his last moments from despair to hope. That's… so much. That can be everything.

I know. It's what you did for me, too.
