1
00:00:01,088 --> 00:00:04,569
[narrator]
Previously, on Halo.
2
00:00:04,613 --> 00:00:07,050
[Parangosky] We've been fighting
these alien creatures for years,
3
00:00:07,094 --> 00:00:09,052
and we still have no idea
what they want.
4
00:00:09,096 --> 00:00:11,185
[Professor]
Spartans aren't human.
5
00:00:11,228 --> 00:00:13,883
They're faster,
stronger, smarter.
6
00:00:13,926 --> 00:00:16,494
They just keep on killing.
7
00:00:18,714 --> 00:00:20,455
No!
8
00:00:20,498 --> 00:00:22,239
[John] Commencing search of
the area for enemy landing site.
9
00:00:22,283 --> 00:00:24,285
Covenant forces appear
to be excavating
10
00:00:24,328 --> 00:00:26,548
for some kind of object.
11
00:00:26,591 --> 00:00:28,245
[Makee, in alien language]
12
00:00:35,296 --> 00:00:36,514
Retrieving now.
13
00:00:36,558 --> 00:00:38,038
[Mercy, in alien language]
14
00:00:42,216 --> 00:00:45,001
[John] I saw things
when I touched the object.
15
00:00:45,045 --> 00:00:46,524
- A family.
- The security committee's
16
00:00:46,568 --> 00:00:48,961
looking for an excuse
to cut your funding.
17
00:00:49,005 --> 00:00:52,139
No cloning, no Cortana.
Is that clear?
18
00:00:52,182 --> 00:00:55,359
[Miranda]
You didn't order an Article 72.
19
00:00:55,403 --> 00:00:57,448
We're murdering a teenage girl.
20
00:00:57,492 --> 00:01:00,016
[John] You're gonna need
to listen to me.
21
00:01:00,060 --> 00:01:01,191
Why should I trust you?
22
00:01:02,497 --> 00:01:03,889
[John]
You want me dead...
23
00:01:03,933 --> 00:01:05,804
you'll need to aim up here.
24
00:01:05,848 --> 00:01:07,763
- What are you doing?
- [John] I'm trying to help you.
25
00:01:07,806 --> 00:01:09,112
If this ship lands,
26
00:01:09,156 --> 00:01:11,027
they will remove you
and execute you.
27
00:01:11,071 --> 00:01:12,463
[Parangosky] Put out the alarm.
28
00:01:12,507 --> 00:01:13,464
Scramble everyone
to landing bay.
29
00:01:13,508 --> 00:01:15,901
Full squadron protocol.
30
00:01:15,945 --> 00:01:18,252
Protect Master Chief from anyone
31
00:01:18,295 --> 00:01:20,384
who actively
threatens his life.
32
00:01:20,428 --> 00:01:22,865
[Keyes]
Knock it down!
33
00:01:22,908 --> 00:01:24,693
[Kwan]
You just decided to help me?
34
00:01:24,736 --> 00:01:27,565
Why would a Spartan do that?
35
00:01:27,609 --> 00:01:29,219
I don't know.
36
00:01:35,095 --> 00:01:36,531
Strap in.
37
00:02:43,032 --> 00:02:44,773
[indistinct shouting]
38
00:02:48,907 --> 00:02:50,648
[aircraft flying overhead]
39
00:02:58,047 --> 00:02:59,048
[dogs barking]
40
00:02:59,091 --> 00:03:01,833
[vehicle engines chugging]
41
00:03:06,273 --> 00:03:07,404
Soren.
42
00:03:08,492 --> 00:03:09,711
Soren!
43
00:03:09,754 --> 00:03:11,365
John.
44
00:03:11,408 --> 00:03:12,844
Where's your armor, man?
45
00:03:15,195 --> 00:03:16,370
Where's your ditch bag?
46
00:03:19,851 --> 00:03:21,113
I'm not going.
47
00:03:21,157 --> 00:03:22,637
What are you talking about?
48
00:03:26,031 --> 00:03:27,859
I can't let you go.
49
00:03:30,297 --> 00:03:31,689
What changed your mind?
50
00:03:32,777 --> 00:03:34,257
Every Spartan has the duty
51
00:03:34,301 --> 00:03:35,171
to prevent actions
that will harm the program.
52
00:03:35,215 --> 00:03:36,868
John, stop! Stop!
53
00:03:36,912 --> 00:03:39,349
If you fail to comply
with my orders, I will be--
54
00:03:39,393 --> 00:03:41,308
I will be compelled to use
all necessary means,
55
00:03:41,351 --> 00:03:43,266
including lethal force
to blah-biddy blah.
56
00:03:43,310 --> 00:03:46,661
That ain't training, man.
That's programming.
57
00:03:48,358 --> 00:03:49,533
I mean it, Soren.
58
00:03:50,882 --> 00:03:52,144
Man.
59
00:03:54,712 --> 00:03:58,020
Didn't all those dreams we had
mean anything?
60
00:04:01,023 --> 00:04:02,459
I don't have dreams.
61
00:04:02,503 --> 00:04:04,069
That's what I'm here for.
62
00:04:04,113 --> 00:04:06,420
I'll do the dreaming
for the both of us.
63
00:04:07,551 --> 00:04:09,031
Look...
64
00:04:09,074 --> 00:04:10,815
We'll be on the Rubble
by morning.
65
00:04:10,859 --> 00:04:12,556
Have a good breakfast.
66
00:04:12,600 --> 00:04:14,123
No one will find us there.
67
00:04:14,166 --> 00:04:15,298
John, it's a fresh start.
68
00:04:22,784 --> 00:04:24,568
This place...
69
00:04:24,612 --> 00:04:26,353
This place cost me my arm.
70
00:04:27,745 --> 00:04:29,225
And what's good about that
71
00:04:29,269 --> 00:04:32,359
is you can see
what Halsey did.
72
00:04:32,402 --> 00:04:34,361
But what she's taking
from you, John...
73
00:04:38,147 --> 00:04:40,149
I'm not even sure you'll
realize when it's gone.
74
00:04:42,412 --> 00:04:43,892
[scoffs]
75
00:04:45,502 --> 00:04:46,677
Don't.
76
00:04:50,681 --> 00:04:52,204
If I want it
to be anyone, John...
77
00:04:54,076 --> 00:04:55,643
I want it to be you.
78
00:04:57,340 --> 00:04:58,472
Either way...
79
00:05:02,432 --> 00:05:04,216
I'm a free man.
80
00:05:15,489 --> 00:05:16,968
It appears that the firearm
81
00:05:17,012 --> 00:05:18,361
available to me at
this moment is jammed.
82
00:05:20,407 --> 00:05:22,104
Come with me.
83
00:05:24,149 --> 00:05:26,369
You've got five minutes,
84
00:05:26,413 --> 00:05:29,198
and then I'm waking up
the entire camp.
85
00:05:31,418 --> 00:05:32,680
- Make it ten?
- Five!
86
00:05:57,966 --> 00:05:59,271
Whoa.
87
00:06:08,629 --> 00:06:10,239
[Kwan]
How fast are we going?
88
00:06:11,632 --> 00:06:13,503
[John]
It's not about the speed.
89
00:06:13,547 --> 00:06:16,898
We're taking a more direct path
through space.
90
00:06:16,941 --> 00:06:18,421
[Kwan]
What?
91
00:06:18,465 --> 00:06:20,858
If you think of space
like a ball of yarn
92
00:06:20,902 --> 00:06:22,773
with multiple threads
to the same destination--
93
00:06:22,817 --> 00:06:24,340
You're ruining it.
94
00:06:29,040 --> 00:06:33,915
That thing you took
from Madrigal, what is it?
95
00:06:34,742 --> 00:06:36,178
Don't know.
96
00:06:38,136 --> 00:06:39,703
How'd you make it
start the ship?
97
00:06:41,183 --> 00:06:42,489
Don't know.
98
00:06:42,532 --> 00:06:43,925
"Don't know."
99
00:06:45,535 --> 00:06:47,058
Okay.
100
00:06:50,671 --> 00:06:53,021
Why are you doing this?
101
00:06:53,064 --> 00:06:57,155
Why didn't you just take me in,
let them kill me?
102
00:07:02,639 --> 00:07:04,815
Would you let a kid
be executed?
103
00:07:04,859 --> 00:07:06,426
[scoffs]
No.
104
00:07:07,818 --> 00:07:09,603
Why not?
105
00:07:09,646 --> 00:07:11,082
Because it's wrong.
106
00:07:15,565 --> 00:07:17,437
That's what I was thinking.
107
00:07:22,703 --> 00:07:23,921
Thank you.
108
00:07:28,491 --> 00:07:29,623
You're welcome.
109
00:08:43,610 --> 00:08:45,307
[jet engines roaring]
110
00:08:47,657 --> 00:08:49,354
[Halsey]
Yes, Silver Team is gearing up
111
00:08:49,398 --> 00:08:51,574
to bring in Master Chief
peacefully.
112
00:08:51,618 --> 00:08:54,011
[Hood] Let's talk about
how One-One-Seven escaped.
113
00:08:54,055 --> 00:08:55,839
[Halsey]
I think it has something to do
114
00:08:55,883 --> 00:08:58,886
with the object that he was
bringing back from Madrigal.
115
00:08:58,929 --> 00:09:02,933
It's capable of creating
enormous energy fields.
116
00:09:02,977 --> 00:09:04,544
[Hood]
What is it exactly?
117
00:09:04,587 --> 00:09:06,502
I don't know.
118
00:09:06,546 --> 00:09:08,548
I think that's the first
I've ever heard
119
00:09:08,591 --> 00:09:12,247
the brilliant Catherine Halsey
utter the words "I don't know."
120
00:09:12,290 --> 00:09:14,684
What I do know is that
the Covenant sent two ships
121
00:09:14,728 --> 00:09:17,078
and 20 Elite warriors
to try and retrieve it.
122
00:09:17,121 --> 00:09:19,123
Well, then we want it too.
123
00:09:19,167 --> 00:09:20,472
Exactly.
124
00:09:20,516 --> 00:09:21,604
And when we find
the Master Chief...
125
00:09:23,475 --> 00:09:25,042
what does one do
with a superhuman
126
00:09:25,086 --> 00:09:26,957
you're not sure
you can trust?
127
00:09:27,001 --> 00:09:28,916
I am sure I can trust him.
128
00:09:30,570 --> 00:09:32,267
But to assuage any doubt,
129
00:09:32,310 --> 00:09:35,139
Admiral Parangosky and I
have devised
130
00:09:35,183 --> 00:09:38,055
an insurance plan
for the future.
131
00:09:38,099 --> 00:09:40,101
Do you know how I rose
to this position?
132
00:09:41,624 --> 00:09:44,888
By keeping my mind clear
of unnecessary concerns.
133
00:09:45,976 --> 00:09:47,587
So if you have a plan,
134
00:09:47,630 --> 00:09:49,327
the committee
should hear it.
135
00:09:51,503 --> 00:09:52,635
Just keep it light.
136
00:09:54,855 --> 00:09:57,074
[jets flying overhead]
137
00:09:57,118 --> 00:09:59,250
[Vannak]
Still no contact,
138
00:09:59,294 --> 00:10:01,949
and his beacon is turned off.
139
00:10:01,992 --> 00:10:03,690
He's gonna come back.
140
00:10:03,733 --> 00:10:04,995
He wouldn't just leave us.
141
00:10:05,039 --> 00:10:07,215
Chief's always got a plan.
142
00:10:07,258 --> 00:10:08,956
[Riz]
Kai, Vannak,
143
00:10:08,999 --> 00:10:10,914
slipspace vector tracking
on the Condor just came in.
144
00:10:10,958 --> 00:10:13,787
We won't have his exact
location, but we'll be close.
145
00:10:15,919 --> 00:10:17,660
[Kai]
Vannak.
146
00:10:17,704 --> 00:10:20,097
If he's got a plan,
why are we going after him?
147
00:10:20,141 --> 00:10:23,013
Halsey's orders.
We'll find out when we need to.
148
00:10:43,730 --> 00:10:45,732
[alarm tweeting]
149
00:10:45,775 --> 00:10:47,734
- What's that sound?
- Proximity alarm.
150
00:10:54,610 --> 00:10:57,004
We exited slipspace
into an asteroid field.
151
00:10:57,047 --> 00:10:57,831
[Kwan]
Oh, my God!
152
00:10:59,702 --> 00:11:02,009
- We're gonna die!
- Everything dies.
153
00:11:02,052 --> 00:11:03,532
Sit down and buckle up.
154
00:11:03,575 --> 00:11:05,403
Tell me you have a plan.
155
00:11:06,840 --> 00:11:08,580
Sit down.
156
00:11:08,624 --> 00:11:09,886
Buckle up.
157
00:11:09,930 --> 00:11:11,888
[panting]
158
00:11:17,677 --> 00:11:19,635
[groaning]
159
00:11:19,679 --> 00:11:21,028
No, no, no!
160
00:11:21,071 --> 00:11:22,594
[alarm beeps rapidly]
161
00:11:24,901 --> 00:11:26,381
[loud rumble]
162
00:11:26,424 --> 00:11:28,252
[breathing heavily]
163
00:12:29,661 --> 00:12:31,446
- [panel beeps]
- [door hinges creak]
164
00:12:34,536 --> 00:12:36,581
[indistinct chatter]
165
00:12:39,019 --> 00:12:40,629
- [Trokan] Squirrel.
- [Squirrel] What is it?
166
00:12:41,717 --> 00:12:43,153
[speaking Hungarian]
167
00:12:44,285 --> 00:12:45,808
Get the boss.
168
00:12:45,852 --> 00:12:47,897
- [guns cock]
- Oi!
169
00:12:47,941 --> 00:12:49,725
[indistinct chatter]
170
00:13:02,129 --> 00:13:03,043
Spartan.
171
00:13:11,921 --> 00:13:14,054
This is your plan?
172
00:13:15,882 --> 00:13:17,144
We're fine.
173
00:13:18,362 --> 00:13:19,276
Willy!
174
00:13:32,681 --> 00:13:35,118
[men laughing]
175
00:13:37,729 --> 00:13:39,079
[grunts]
176
00:13:40,341 --> 00:13:41,908
[laughs]
177
00:13:43,518 --> 00:13:45,825
[loud scraping]
178
00:13:58,011 --> 00:14:00,970
Ladies and gentlemen,
put your weapons down.
179
00:14:02,232 --> 00:14:04,234
If John here wanted you dead,
180
00:14:04,278 --> 00:14:05,453
you'd be dead.
181
00:14:07,890 --> 00:14:10,110
Nice of you to drop by.
182
00:14:15,158 --> 00:14:16,943
Hello, Soren.
183
00:14:16,986 --> 00:14:18,292
Look at you.
184
00:14:23,732 --> 00:14:25,908
Welcome to the Rubble.
185
00:14:25,952 --> 00:14:28,041
Let me show you
what you missed out on.
186
00:14:31,131 --> 00:14:32,915
Soren, this is Kwan Ha.
187
00:14:32,959 --> 00:14:34,351
I'm looking for
a place for her.
188
00:14:34,395 --> 00:14:35,352
You're the one that they
189
00:14:35,396 --> 00:14:36,832
just issued a bounty for.
190
00:14:36,876 --> 00:14:38,703
UNSC is offering a bounty?
191
00:14:38,747 --> 00:14:40,923
- [man] Back to work!
- [Soren] UNSC? No.
192
00:14:40,967 --> 00:14:43,186
Well, who's the new top cat
on Madrigal?
193
00:14:43,230 --> 00:14:45,536
- Vinsher.
- Vinsher?
194
00:14:45,580 --> 00:14:47,756
He's a traitor
to the resistance.
195
00:14:47,799 --> 00:14:51,716
Apparently, uh, the UNSC's
preferred replacement
196
00:14:51,760 --> 00:14:54,328
didn't just take
your father's office,
197
00:14:54,371 --> 00:14:55,720
he's cleaning house.
198
00:14:55,764 --> 00:14:58,158
Offering cash for your head,
literally.
199
00:14:58,201 --> 00:14:59,811
Should I have
not said it like that?
200
00:15:02,162 --> 00:15:04,425
Wait, you thought
that it was the UNSC
201
00:15:04,468 --> 00:15:06,383
that was offering
a bounty, so--
202
00:15:06,427 --> 00:15:07,689
So they also want me dead.
203
00:15:10,039 --> 00:15:11,649
Damn.
204
00:15:11,693 --> 00:15:13,651
You're making friends
all over.
205
00:15:13,695 --> 00:15:15,218
[indistinct chatter]
206
00:15:17,568 --> 00:15:18,787
[horn beeps]
207
00:15:24,010 --> 00:15:25,489
Here it is.
208
00:15:25,533 --> 00:15:28,753
Home to every misfit,
reprobate, outlaw,
209
00:15:28,797 --> 00:15:30,190
and renegade
in the galaxy.
210
00:15:30,233 --> 00:15:31,756
- No law.
- Ah!
211
00:15:31,800 --> 00:15:35,325
No police. No government.
No responsibility.
212
00:15:35,369 --> 00:15:38,111
It's everything
we always talked about, man.
213
00:15:38,154 --> 00:15:41,201
Absolute freedom,
just like I always promised.
214
00:15:42,550 --> 00:15:44,334
- [rumbling]
- [electricity crackles]
215
00:15:57,695 --> 00:15:59,001
Mind the gap.
216
00:16:08,184 --> 00:16:09,925
[cable car rumbling]
217
00:16:26,289 --> 00:16:28,161
Got a whole rock to myself.
218
00:16:30,728 --> 00:16:33,035
Go where I want to go,
do what I want to do.
219
00:16:35,211 --> 00:16:37,126
I'm happy for you.
220
00:16:37,170 --> 00:16:38,475
Well, I can see that.
221
00:16:43,480 --> 00:16:44,655
[grunts]
222
00:17:35,706 --> 00:17:37,708
So many secrets.
223
00:18:03,473 --> 00:18:04,735
Daddy! Daddy!
224
00:18:04,779 --> 00:18:06,824
- Hey!
- [giggles]
225
00:18:06,868 --> 00:18:08,478
This little guy's name
is Kessler.
226
00:18:08,522 --> 00:18:09,958
[chuckles]
227
00:18:10,001 --> 00:18:11,264
You have a child?
228
00:18:11,307 --> 00:18:12,830
[Kessler]
Did you bring me anything?
229
00:18:12,874 --> 00:18:14,919
I'm a pirate.
That's what we do.
230
00:18:14,963 --> 00:18:16,921
- But not till after dinner.
- Aw.
231
00:18:16,965 --> 00:18:18,271
Go get your mom.
We got company.
232
00:18:20,273 --> 00:18:21,839
You can leave
your gear here.
233
00:18:21,883 --> 00:18:24,059
I just redid the floors.
234
00:18:24,103 --> 00:18:25,495
Ah.
235
00:18:25,539 --> 00:18:27,149
[chuckles]
My wife, Laera.
236
00:18:27,193 --> 00:18:29,673
My galactic princess.
237
00:18:29,717 --> 00:18:31,719
It's kind of you
to have us.
238
00:18:33,024 --> 00:18:34,504
John.
239
00:18:36,985 --> 00:18:38,682
Soren speaks of you so often.
240
00:18:38,726 --> 00:18:41,076
[Soren]
Not that often, my dear.
241
00:18:41,120 --> 00:18:42,904
Not that often.
242
00:19:00,704 --> 00:19:02,706
[Makee, speaking alien language]
243
00:19:24,641 --> 00:19:26,034
[snarls]
244
00:20:55,123 --> 00:20:57,038
[Keyes]
Governor Vinsher has control
245
00:20:57,081 --> 00:20:59,301
of the situation
on Madrigal,
246
00:20:59,345 --> 00:21:01,564
but perhaps with somewhat
more of an iron fist
247
00:21:01,608 --> 00:21:03,914
than we anticipated
when we put him in charge.
248
00:21:03,958 --> 00:21:07,135
Vinsher's crude, but he's
a reliable business partner.
249
00:21:07,178 --> 00:21:09,093
The deuterium
will soon be flowing,
250
00:21:09,137 --> 00:21:11,531
and the relative calm
has had a positive effect
251
00:21:11,574 --> 00:21:13,315
on fuel prices
across the galaxy.
252
00:21:13,359 --> 00:21:15,665
The other colonies
have taken notice.
253
00:21:15,709 --> 00:21:17,841
Well done, Keyes.
254
00:21:17,885 --> 00:21:19,713
For once,
some positive news.
255
00:21:19,756 --> 00:21:23,586
Captain Keyes, is there any word
on the Master Chief?
256
00:21:23,630 --> 00:21:25,936
The search for him
continues.
257
00:21:25,980 --> 00:21:28,287
I have no doubt we'll find him,
and when we do,
258
00:21:28,330 --> 00:21:30,027
I can assure you,
259
00:21:30,071 --> 00:21:32,552
his punishment will be
commensurate with his crimes.
260
00:21:32,595 --> 00:21:35,206
[Hood]
Is that wise?
261
00:21:35,250 --> 00:21:38,209
Master Chief is not only
a valuable battle asset,
262
00:21:38,253 --> 00:21:40,124
he's a symbol
for the whole war effort.
263
00:21:40,168 --> 00:21:42,649
Punishment not only puts him
out of commission,
264
00:21:42,692 --> 00:21:45,173
it could be very bad
for morale.
265
00:21:45,216 --> 00:21:47,349
But what good is he
to the war effort
266
00:21:47,393 --> 00:21:48,742
if he can't be controlled?
267
00:21:48,785 --> 00:21:50,744
[murmuring]
268
00:21:50,787 --> 00:21:54,269
Actually, Admiral Parangosky
and I have been ahead of this
269
00:21:54,313 --> 00:21:55,401
for some time.
270
00:21:55,444 --> 00:21:57,533
I've developed a new system
271
00:21:57,577 --> 00:21:59,709
which will solve John's
current issues
272
00:21:59,753 --> 00:22:03,191
and expand Spartan capability
across the board.
273
00:22:04,975 --> 00:22:07,064
It's called Cortana.
274
00:22:08,892 --> 00:22:10,981
And how does it work?
275
00:22:11,025 --> 00:22:12,461
Spartan bodies
have been enhanced
276
00:22:12,505 --> 00:22:14,507
to the limits
of our current technology,
277
00:22:14,550 --> 00:22:16,596
so Cortana will do something
similar for their minds.
278
00:22:16,639 --> 00:22:19,033
It will overwrite
Spartan consciousness
279
00:22:19,076 --> 00:22:23,037
and replace it with a artificial
general intelligence.
280
00:22:23,080 --> 00:22:25,431
The first of its kind.
281
00:22:25,474 --> 00:22:27,433
I don't understand.
282
00:22:29,086 --> 00:22:32,916
Cortana is the next stage
in human evolution.
283
00:22:37,921 --> 00:22:40,794
[Halsey] The Spartans
were the first step.
284
00:22:40,837 --> 00:22:42,883
Cortana is the upgrade.
285
00:22:46,930 --> 00:22:51,326
She represents the sum total
of every available data point.
286
00:22:52,980 --> 00:22:55,722
The intelligence of the galaxy,
in essence.
287
00:22:57,898 --> 00:23:02,381
With Cortana, we will create
Spartans who are more lethal...
288
00:23:03,599 --> 00:23:06,602
their judgment error-free,
289
00:23:06,646 --> 00:23:09,431
their performance
upgradeable,
290
00:23:09,475 --> 00:23:12,521
and, most importantly,
291
00:23:12,565 --> 00:23:14,088
controllable.
292
00:23:14,131 --> 00:23:15,350
[Keyes]
And what about John?
293
00:23:15,394 --> 00:23:17,091
You can't just replace his mind.
294
00:23:18,397 --> 00:23:20,442
We are talking about a person.
295
00:23:20,486 --> 00:23:22,966
John is much more
than a person.
296
00:23:23,010 --> 00:23:24,881
He is a Spartan.
297
00:23:26,796 --> 00:23:30,278
For his own safety and for ours,
John doesn't feel as we do.
298
00:23:30,321 --> 00:23:33,368
Hormonal pellets
have suppressed his emotions.
299
00:23:33,412 --> 00:23:36,458
John was enhanced and trained
for one purpose:
300
00:23:36,502 --> 00:23:38,504
to fight for us.
301
00:23:38,547 --> 00:23:41,463
And at the moment,
he and the other Spartans
302
00:23:41,507 --> 00:23:45,989
are our only effective weapons
against the Covenant.
303
00:23:46,033 --> 00:23:48,731
But with the help
of the Cortana system...
304
00:23:50,516 --> 00:23:52,431
we can win this war.
305
00:23:52,474 --> 00:23:54,737
[Penma]
Didn't you author a paper
306
00:23:54,781 --> 00:23:57,436
about a hypothetical artificial
general intelligence
307
00:23:57,479 --> 00:23:59,873
that could interface
directly with humans?
308
00:24:01,178 --> 00:24:03,006
Yes, I authored several.
309
00:24:03,050 --> 00:24:06,488
And didn't that process depend
on biological substrates?
310
00:24:06,532 --> 00:24:07,881
Derived from
the illegal practice
311
00:24:07,924 --> 00:24:09,665
of flash-cloning humans?
312
00:24:11,885 --> 00:24:14,104
That's correct.
313
00:24:14,148 --> 00:24:15,758
Have you found a way
around that?
314
00:24:18,065 --> 00:24:21,285
Admiral Parangosky,
315
00:24:21,329 --> 00:24:23,897
Section Three
is your responsibility.
316
00:24:23,940 --> 00:24:27,683
Any advantage we can get
on the Covenant is a good thing.
317
00:24:27,727 --> 00:24:29,337
But just so we're clear,
318
00:24:29,380 --> 00:24:31,557
you're on board
with Halsey's program?
319
00:24:35,299 --> 00:24:38,738
I think the case of Master Chief
provides an opportunity
320
00:24:38,781 --> 00:24:42,872
for a limited trial
of the system, yes.
321
00:24:42,916 --> 00:24:44,134
[Hood] Good,
I'll leave it to you
322
00:24:44,178 --> 00:24:46,354
to manage
the technical hurdles.
323
00:24:48,661 --> 00:24:52,534
Let's get Master Chief back
and put this mess behind us.
324
00:24:52,578 --> 00:24:54,318
We have a war to win.
325
00:25:17,994 --> 00:25:21,476
Remember the tale
of the rebel Jin.
326
00:25:24,435 --> 00:25:27,569
And what a spot
he put Madrigal in.
327
00:25:30,746 --> 00:25:33,749
Led us into costly war.
328
00:25:36,360 --> 00:25:38,188
Oh.
329
00:25:38,232 --> 00:25:42,802
And then he stole our hydrogen.
330
00:25:44,673 --> 00:25:46,632
[aircraft warbling overhead]
331
00:25:55,249 --> 00:25:58,469
[indistinct radio chatter]
332
00:26:06,956 --> 00:26:08,915
Vinsher hated my father.
333
00:26:11,091 --> 00:26:14,224
He was always looking a way
to cut a deal with the UNSC.
334
00:26:17,576 --> 00:26:19,403
Now Madrigal is his.
335
00:26:21,057 --> 00:26:22,319
I'm so sorry.
336
00:26:23,799 --> 00:26:25,627
I know how you feel.
337
00:26:25,671 --> 00:26:26,759
Do you?
338
00:26:26,802 --> 00:26:28,412
I lost my whole family
339
00:26:28,456 --> 00:26:30,806
when I was just a little
younger than you are now.
340
00:26:32,199 --> 00:26:34,854
I lost my whole planet
to the Covenant.
341
00:26:34,897 --> 00:26:37,247
Everyone I love,
until I met Soren.
342
00:26:41,687 --> 00:26:42,949
You want revenge.
343
00:26:46,692 --> 00:26:48,128
I want justice.
344
00:26:49,738 --> 00:26:51,740
Revenge and justice
are easy to confuse.
345
00:26:59,008 --> 00:27:00,749
Go ahead, taste it.
346
00:27:07,713 --> 00:27:09,540
I don't taste anything.
347
00:27:09,584 --> 00:27:11,760
You stick around here
long enough, you will.
348
00:27:11,804 --> 00:27:13,457
That's freedom, man.
349
00:27:13,501 --> 00:27:16,678
How big a jump did you get
on the UNSC?
350
00:27:17,810 --> 00:27:19,159
Not big enough.
351
00:27:19,202 --> 00:27:20,377
I give them a day.
352
00:27:22,510 --> 00:27:23,903
More than you gave me.
353
00:27:23,946 --> 00:27:25,165
Yep.
354
00:27:25,208 --> 00:27:26,427
[grunts]
355
00:27:26,470 --> 00:27:27,646
Mm-mm.
356
00:27:30,344 --> 00:27:31,954
I don't get it, John.
357
00:27:31,998 --> 00:27:33,913
Get what?
358
00:27:33,956 --> 00:27:35,262
This.
359
00:27:35,305 --> 00:27:37,351
You.
360
00:27:37,394 --> 00:27:39,048
Showing up here,
on the run from your people,
361
00:27:39,092 --> 00:27:41,442
carrying a fugitive.
362
00:27:41,485 --> 00:27:43,749
I mean, who are you?
363
00:27:45,315 --> 00:27:47,187
I'm trying to figure
a few things out.
364
00:27:47,230 --> 00:27:49,276
Like what's in that box?
365
00:27:51,713 --> 00:27:53,019
There you are.
366
00:27:53,062 --> 00:27:54,542
- Sorry.
- Mmm, mmm, mmm.
367
00:27:54,585 --> 00:27:56,587
We were just getting to know
each other.
368
00:27:56,631 --> 00:27:57,893
Us too.
369
00:27:57,937 --> 00:28:00,069
[child shouts, giggles]
370
00:28:00,896 --> 00:28:02,681
[grunts]
371
00:28:02,724 --> 00:28:04,944
I can name all the planets
in the sky.
372
00:28:04,987 --> 00:28:06,206
Can you?
373
00:28:06,249 --> 00:28:08,774
[Kessler]
Maybe not all.
374
00:28:08,817 --> 00:28:11,124
[Soren]
Who'd have thought it?
375
00:28:11,167 --> 00:28:14,475
Me... wife... a kid.
376
00:28:14,518 --> 00:28:16,825
[Kessler] If you want,
I could show you them.
377
00:28:16,869 --> 00:28:18,392
I thought
it was impossible.
378
00:28:18,435 --> 00:28:19,785
[Soren inhaling]
379
00:28:19,828 --> 00:28:21,482
I thought the treatments
they gave us--
380
00:28:21,525 --> 00:28:22,744
Treatments?
381
00:28:22,788 --> 00:28:24,224
[laughs]
382
00:28:25,704 --> 00:28:27,531
He's still calling them
treatments.
383
00:28:27,575 --> 00:28:29,577
Maybe he still believes it.
384
00:28:31,797 --> 00:28:33,624
- [Kwan] What is it?
- Clarity.
385
00:28:33,668 --> 00:28:37,237
I think I've had enough clarity
for one day, thanks.
386
00:28:37,280 --> 00:28:39,021
[Soren] There's something
you need to know
387
00:28:39,065 --> 00:28:43,243
about the Spartan program
and all those treatments, John.
388
00:28:43,286 --> 00:28:44,984
What they did to us,
it's only permanent
389
00:28:45,027 --> 00:28:46,594
if we choose to let it be.
390
00:28:46,637 --> 00:28:48,988
Doesn't matter how long
it had you.
391
00:28:49,031 --> 00:28:52,034
For example,
that pellet you got in your back
392
00:28:52,078 --> 00:28:54,428
that enhances battle focus?
393
00:28:54,471 --> 00:28:55,908
It mutes everything.
394
00:28:55,951 --> 00:28:57,213
It eliminates distraction.
395
00:28:57,257 --> 00:28:59,520
It makes you numb.
396
00:28:59,563 --> 00:29:01,087
It makes you as numb to life
397
00:29:01,130 --> 00:29:04,525
as you are to the taste
of this food.
398
00:29:06,309 --> 00:29:07,789
Mmm, mmm, mmm.
399
00:29:07,833 --> 00:29:09,356
- [chuckles]
- [Soren] Mmm.
400
00:29:09,399 --> 00:29:11,010
John...
401
00:29:11,053 --> 00:29:12,794
lose the pellet
402
00:29:12,838 --> 00:29:16,493
and it's like opening your eyes
for the first time
403
00:29:16,537 --> 00:29:17,799
after living in the dark.
404
00:29:17,843 --> 00:29:20,976
Soren, leave John be.
405
00:29:21,020 --> 00:29:23,718
He has a lot on his mind.
406
00:29:25,981 --> 00:29:27,678
- I got you.
- Pew, pew! No, you don't.
407
00:29:27,722 --> 00:29:29,550
[Laera] It means a lot to
Soren that you've come,
408
00:29:29,593 --> 00:29:31,944
though I get a sense
that you won't be staying.
409
00:29:31,987 --> 00:29:33,684
- [Kessler laughs]
- Like you said,
410
00:29:33,728 --> 00:29:34,598
I have a lot on my mind.
411
00:29:34,642 --> 00:29:35,774
[Laera]
Yes.
412
00:29:35,817 --> 00:29:37,514
[gasps]
Kessler.
413
00:29:38,689 --> 00:29:40,039
What's this?
414
00:29:40,082 --> 00:29:41,997
[Laera]
It's, um...
415
00:29:42,041 --> 00:29:44,521
It's his sign.
416
00:29:44,565 --> 00:29:45,522
[Soren]
You should be honored, man.
417
00:29:45,566 --> 00:29:47,133
It means he can count on you
418
00:29:47,176 --> 00:29:48,656
and you can count on him.
419
00:30:00,146 --> 00:30:01,843
Thank you, Kessler.
420
00:30:01,887 --> 00:30:03,540
I accept.
421
00:30:03,584 --> 00:30:05,847
[Soren]
"Thank you, Kessler. I accept."
422
00:30:05,891 --> 00:30:07,109
[Soren laughs]
423
00:30:07,153 --> 00:30:08,632
Man, you are a stiff one,
Johnny.
424
00:30:08,676 --> 00:30:09,938
Okay.
425
00:30:09,982 --> 00:30:11,244
Sweet dreams.
426
00:30:11,287 --> 00:30:12,985
Toodle-oo.
427
00:30:13,028 --> 00:30:14,421
Good night.
428
00:30:14,464 --> 00:30:16,249
[Soren]
I guess when a camel flies,
429
00:30:16,292 --> 00:30:19,078
you don't ask how far.
430
00:30:19,121 --> 00:30:21,036
- [Kessler] Good night.
- [Laera] Kessler, let's go.
431
00:30:33,788 --> 00:30:35,921
- [console beeping]
- Vannak. Riz.
432
00:30:38,053 --> 00:30:40,316
- Are you getting this?
- [Vannak] Yes.
433
00:30:40,360 --> 00:30:42,928
Sensor plot has the Condor
dropping out of slipspace
434
00:30:42,971 --> 00:30:44,233
inside an asteroid belt.
435
00:30:44,277 --> 00:30:46,888
It makes no sense.
436
00:30:46,932 --> 00:30:48,107
Stay on the track?
437
00:30:49,412 --> 00:30:50,674
Stay on it.
438
00:31:04,253 --> 00:31:06,647
- Admiral.
- What is it, Doctor?
439
00:31:06,690 --> 00:31:08,257
I'm already
not in the mood.
440
00:31:08,301 --> 00:31:09,955
I understand from my father
that Dr. Halsey
441
00:31:09,998 --> 00:31:12,305
is getting sole access
to the Madrigal object.
442
00:31:12,348 --> 00:31:14,524
If and when we find it.
443
00:31:14,568 --> 00:31:17,788
Ma'am, xeno-technology
is my department.
444
00:31:17,832 --> 00:31:19,181
I'm aware.
445
00:31:19,225 --> 00:31:21,705
If I recall, I put you
in that position.
446
00:31:23,533 --> 00:31:25,622
Dr. Halsey already takes
the lion's share of funding,
447
00:31:25,666 --> 00:31:27,711
and she's only focused
on her Spartans.
448
00:31:27,755 --> 00:31:30,279
All of our advances
in shielding, active camo,
449
00:31:30,323 --> 00:31:31,890
even slipspace navigation
450
00:31:31,933 --> 00:31:34,457
derived from my--
My research.
451
00:31:34,501 --> 00:31:36,068
I'm even making
great progress
452
00:31:36,111 --> 00:31:38,331
in understanding
the Sangheili language.
453
00:31:38,374 --> 00:31:40,942
Whatever this object is,
I'm the one to untangle it.
454
00:31:40,986 --> 00:31:44,946
I could make great strides
if I had you on my side.
455
00:31:46,382 --> 00:31:47,601
So much like your mother.
456
00:31:49,037 --> 00:31:50,778
Except you lack
the polish.
457
00:31:50,821 --> 00:31:52,258
- Ma'am, I--
- I've had enough
458
00:31:52,301 --> 00:31:53,999
of being manipulated
for the day.
459
00:31:54,042 --> 00:31:55,696
Get back to work,
Miranda.
460
00:32:02,355 --> 00:32:03,878
What is it?
461
00:32:03,922 --> 00:32:06,446
Some kind of Covenant artifact,
I think.
462
00:32:06,489 --> 00:32:07,664
What does it do?
463
00:32:09,362 --> 00:32:11,190
- I'm not sure.
- Bullshit.
464
00:32:11,233 --> 00:32:13,844
I can see you're lying
in your eyes.
465
00:32:13,888 --> 00:32:15,672
Now you didn't drag this thing
halfway across the galaxy
466
00:32:15,716 --> 00:32:17,022
because it's pretty.
467
00:32:17,065 --> 00:32:18,980
What does it do?
468
00:32:19,024 --> 00:32:20,460
It powered his ship.
469
00:32:21,809 --> 00:32:23,376
I saw it.
470
00:32:23,419 --> 00:32:25,378
Ship was dead, then he touched
this thing and bam.
471
00:32:25,421 --> 00:32:27,989
How?
472
00:32:28,033 --> 00:32:29,382
I don't know.
473
00:32:33,690 --> 00:32:34,909
[Soren chuckles]
474
00:32:34,953 --> 00:32:36,084
Don't!
475
00:32:38,652 --> 00:32:40,219
It worked for him.
476
00:32:44,136 --> 00:32:45,398
I know a guy.
477
00:32:45,441 --> 00:32:46,616
No.
478
00:32:48,227 --> 00:32:49,619
Not interested
in selling it.
479
00:32:49,663 --> 00:32:51,447
Guy's name is Reth.
480
00:32:51,491 --> 00:32:54,407
He got taken into a Covenant
ship and lived to talk about it.
481
00:32:54,450 --> 00:32:56,452
He's seen things.
482
00:32:57,888 --> 00:32:59,847
He knows things.
483
00:32:59,890 --> 00:33:01,414
Trust me, man.
484
00:33:07,072 --> 00:33:08,551
Where can I find him?
485
00:33:14,731 --> 00:33:16,864
- [indistinct chatter]
- [horn honking]
486
00:33:19,867 --> 00:33:22,739
This is the safest place
in the galaxy you could find?
487
00:33:22,783 --> 00:33:24,002
Weren't a lot
of options.
488
00:33:24,045 --> 00:33:25,307
Rubble is a haven
for people
489
00:33:25,351 --> 00:33:26,265
who don't fit in
anywhere else.
490
00:33:26,308 --> 00:33:28,267
Like you?
491
00:33:28,310 --> 00:33:31,618
[Soren] I'm talking about a
whole other deal, man. Mystics.
492
00:33:31,661 --> 00:33:35,100
Guys like Reth are swimming
in the cosmic river.
493
00:33:35,143 --> 00:33:37,102
Got any good churros today?
494
00:33:37,145 --> 00:33:38,451
Yes, it's hot.
495
00:33:38,494 --> 00:33:40,105
All right,
give me half a dozen.
496
00:33:40,148 --> 00:33:41,584
[steam hissing]
497
00:33:44,109 --> 00:33:46,459
- So he's insane.
- He's sensitive.
498
00:33:46,502 --> 00:33:49,070
Hanging out with the aliens
will change you, brother.
499
00:33:49,114 --> 00:33:51,029
[Soren]
Looks like a jail, but it's not.
500
00:33:51,072 --> 00:33:53,553
It's a refuge for him.
501
00:33:53,596 --> 00:33:55,337
One last thing.
502
00:33:56,904 --> 00:33:58,645
No sudden moves.
503
00:34:02,779 --> 00:34:03,954
[laughs]
I'm just kidding.
504
00:34:05,086 --> 00:34:06,522
Man, lighten up.
505
00:34:18,839 --> 00:34:21,102
Oh, look who it is.
506
00:34:21,146 --> 00:34:22,364
[man]
What's the man's name?
507
00:34:22,408 --> 00:34:24,410
Who's the man? What's his name?
508
00:34:24,453 --> 00:34:27,978
Mr. Selfish.
Mr. Selfish. Mr. Selfish.
509
00:34:28,022 --> 00:34:29,806
Who you calling selfish?
I brought churros.
510
00:34:29,850 --> 00:34:31,112
Spartan.
511
00:34:33,723 --> 00:34:34,898
[growls]
512
00:34:37,423 --> 00:34:38,641
[man]
I can smell them.
513
00:34:47,172 --> 00:34:48,564
They like sweets.
514
00:34:50,479 --> 00:34:51,915
Hey...
515
00:34:51,959 --> 00:34:53,091
Don't worry.
516
00:34:54,179 --> 00:34:55,354
They won't bite you.
517
00:35:12,893 --> 00:35:14,460
[woman shouting distantly]
518
00:35:17,854 --> 00:35:19,029
Hey!
519
00:35:20,944 --> 00:35:22,163
[Soren]
Reth.
520
00:35:22,207 --> 00:35:24,122
It's me, Soren.
You there?
521
00:35:26,211 --> 00:35:28,909
Yeah. Are you?
522
00:35:31,564 --> 00:35:32,956
I brought some friends
with me.
523
00:35:33,000 --> 00:35:34,132
I'm coming in, okay?
524
00:35:35,742 --> 00:35:36,960
[Reth]
Close it!
525
00:35:37,004 --> 00:35:38,484
Close it, close it, close it!
526
00:35:48,146 --> 00:35:49,321
Who's he?
527
00:35:49,364 --> 00:35:50,583
[Soren]
Reth, this is John.
528
00:35:50,626 --> 00:35:53,151
This is Reth.
529
00:35:54,761 --> 00:35:56,893
You've seen them too?
530
00:35:56,937 --> 00:35:58,591
The Covenant?
531
00:35:58,634 --> 00:35:59,983
Yes.
532
00:36:00,027 --> 00:36:01,333
[Reth]
And you fought?
533
00:36:02,812 --> 00:36:04,162
And you won?
534
00:36:05,380 --> 00:36:06,947
Not yet.
535
00:36:06,990 --> 00:36:09,167
[Soren]
John's being modest.
536
00:36:09,210 --> 00:36:11,778
He's a regular Covenant
killing machine.
537
00:36:11,821 --> 00:36:13,214
What'd make him better
538
00:36:13,258 --> 00:36:15,173
is a little bit
of inside information.
539
00:36:16,696 --> 00:36:18,088
Come here.
540
00:36:28,534 --> 00:36:29,535
What's your name?
541
00:36:31,537 --> 00:36:32,973
Kwan.
542
00:36:34,366 --> 00:36:36,194
- Kwan Ha.
- [Reth] Oh, yes, you are.
543
00:36:37,412 --> 00:36:38,761
Kwan Ha.
544
00:36:38,805 --> 00:36:40,241
- Hello? Reth.
- Kwan Ha.
545
00:36:41,634 --> 00:36:43,375
Over here, man.
546
00:36:43,418 --> 00:36:45,942
[laughs]
Hi.
547
00:36:45,986 --> 00:36:48,162
John's got a little something
he wants to show you.
548
00:36:57,780 --> 00:36:59,304
Kwan Ha...
549
00:36:59,347 --> 00:37:00,566
Hey.
550
00:37:06,311 --> 00:37:08,313
[grunts]
551
00:37:08,356 --> 00:37:09,662
Where did you get this?
552
00:37:09,705 --> 00:37:11,054
[John]
On Madrigal.
553
00:37:11,098 --> 00:37:13,274
Covenant detachment
was excavating it.
554
00:37:13,318 --> 00:37:14,754
[Reth]
Madrigal. Poor Madrigal.
555
00:37:14,797 --> 00:37:16,408
You know Madrigal?
556
00:37:16,451 --> 00:37:18,323
Any place that has been
visited by the Covenant
557
00:37:18,366 --> 00:37:20,281
has my sympathies.
558
00:37:20,325 --> 00:37:23,371
Covenant's whole religion
is based on things like this.
559
00:37:23,415 --> 00:37:26,244
Things from another time,
things left behind.
560
00:37:26,287 --> 00:37:28,507
They roam the galaxy looking
for pieces, looking for clues.
561
00:37:28,550 --> 00:37:30,248
Do you understand?
562
00:37:31,510 --> 00:37:33,642
When I was a guest
on their ship,
563
00:37:33,686 --> 00:37:35,862
they asked to see
if I could make them work,
564
00:37:35,905 --> 00:37:38,995
but I could not,
sensitive as I am.
565
00:37:54,707 --> 00:37:56,404
[gasps]
566
00:37:56,448 --> 00:37:58,580
[laughs]
567
00:38:00,887 --> 00:38:02,062
See?
568
00:38:03,933 --> 00:38:06,066
I'm not a Blessed One.
569
00:38:06,109 --> 00:38:09,548
- What's a Blessed One?
- [Reth] Human, only more so.
570
00:38:09,591 --> 00:38:11,680
But what are humans?
Homo sapiens?
571
00:38:11,724 --> 00:38:14,117
An accidental collision
of amino acids.
572
00:38:14,161 --> 00:38:16,076
But is that enough?
Is that all there is?
573
00:38:16,119 --> 00:38:18,339
Being human?
Well, for you, perhaps,
574
00:38:18,383 --> 00:38:20,863
but a Blessed One
has an obligation.
575
00:38:20,907 --> 00:38:22,604
No, not an obligation...
576
00:38:22,648 --> 00:38:24,040
- We're losing' him.
- ...a responsibility...
577
00:38:24,084 --> 00:38:27,000
[Reth]
...no, a-a-a moral imperative.
578
00:38:27,043 --> 00:38:28,349
- Or an aperitif.
- Hey.
579
00:38:28,393 --> 00:38:29,742
I always had a nice,
cold glass of--
580
00:38:29,785 --> 00:38:31,526
Reth!
581
00:38:31,570 --> 00:38:33,049
What is this thing?
582
00:38:34,486 --> 00:38:35,965
What does it do?
583
00:38:37,750 --> 00:38:43,059
You don't want to help
the Covenant destroy us, do you?
584
00:38:44,365 --> 00:38:46,149
No.
585
00:38:46,193 --> 00:38:47,325
[gasps]
586
00:38:57,160 --> 00:38:58,379
Good!
587
00:38:58,423 --> 00:39:00,076
[screams]
588
00:39:01,339 --> 00:39:02,818
[all screaming]
589
00:39:08,868 --> 00:39:10,870
[electricity crackling]
590
00:39:13,046 --> 00:39:14,917
[John's mother]
Let's hang this one.
591
00:39:14,961 --> 00:39:16,658
[Young John]
No!
592
00:39:18,617 --> 00:39:20,227
I don't want to do it!
593
00:39:24,187 --> 00:39:25,319
John!
594
00:39:25,363 --> 00:39:29,410
[all screaming]
595
00:39:29,454 --> 00:39:30,977
[crying]
596
00:39:33,414 --> 00:39:35,503
[panting]
597
00:39:35,547 --> 00:39:37,940
What are you?
598
00:39:40,595 --> 00:39:43,032
You bring it to life.
599
00:39:44,556 --> 00:39:48,777
But you are different
than the one they have!
600
00:39:48,821 --> 00:39:50,649
- [screams]
- Easy.
601
00:39:50,692 --> 00:39:52,433
- The one they have?
- [Reth] It's in your eyes.
602
00:39:52,477 --> 00:39:53,826
What do you mean?
603
00:39:53,869 --> 00:39:55,088
- Easy.
- It's in your eyes!
604
00:39:55,131 --> 00:39:56,002
What do you mean?
605
00:39:56,045 --> 00:39:56,872
You don't understand
606
00:39:56,916 --> 00:39:58,657
what you are, do you?
607
00:39:58,700 --> 00:40:00,876
What am I?
608
00:40:00,920 --> 00:40:02,312
[laughs]
609
00:40:04,619 --> 00:40:06,447
[yells]
What am I?!
610
00:40:06,491 --> 00:40:08,362
[panting]
611
00:40:08,406 --> 00:40:10,799
The image you made it produce,
the ring,
612
00:40:10,843 --> 00:40:12,453
that's what they want!
613
00:40:12,497 --> 00:40:13,846
[sobs]
614
00:40:13,889 --> 00:40:15,587
- What is that ring?
- [Reth] A door.
615
00:40:16,675 --> 00:40:17,850
To what?
616
00:40:19,068 --> 00:40:23,421
The end of life as we know it.
617
00:40:26,467 --> 00:40:27,642
So it's a weapon?
618
00:40:29,339 --> 00:40:30,558
Yeah.
619
00:40:36,738 --> 00:40:38,348
You felt it, didn't you?
620
00:40:40,002 --> 00:40:41,177
The darkness.
621
00:40:43,136 --> 00:40:44,311
Yes.
622
00:40:45,704 --> 00:40:47,923
That means
you can stop it.
623
00:40:49,011 --> 00:40:50,578
How?
624
00:40:53,755 --> 00:40:55,409
Destroy the artifact.
625
00:40:57,455 --> 00:40:59,239
Then destroy yourself.
626
00:41:07,116 --> 00:41:09,467
John. Hey.
627
00:41:10,642 --> 00:41:12,121
John!
628
00:41:17,039 --> 00:41:18,345
[gasps softly]
629
00:41:18,388 --> 00:41:19,607
[Soren]
John, hold up.
630
00:41:19,651 --> 00:41:20,956
I have to go back.
631
00:41:21,000 --> 00:41:23,132
[Kwan]
To the UNSC? Why?
632
00:41:23,176 --> 00:41:25,134
They turned my planet over
to a warlord.
633
00:41:25,178 --> 00:41:26,745
They ordered you to kill me.
634
00:41:26,788 --> 00:41:28,747
Hey, John, look, we can figure
this shit out here.
635
00:41:28,790 --> 00:41:30,836
No, I need
the other Spartans.
636
00:41:30,879 --> 00:41:32,707
You need them,
not me.
637
00:41:32,751 --> 00:41:34,404
I don't expect you
to understand.
638
00:41:34,448 --> 00:41:37,233
Oh, I understand completely.
You need to get back to her.
639
00:41:37,277 --> 00:41:39,758
Yeah, you're running
back to Halsey.
640
00:41:39,801 --> 00:41:42,978
Any time there's a problem,
Mommy's there to fix it.
641
00:41:43,022 --> 00:41:46,199
You think she cares about you?
Huh? You're just a machine.
642
00:41:46,242 --> 00:41:48,288
And you're a coward who ran away
when things got hard.
643
00:41:48,331 --> 00:41:49,594
Oh, okay.
644
00:41:49,637 --> 00:41:50,856
You have no loyalty
to anything.
645
00:41:50,899 --> 00:41:52,335
You want to talk to me
about loyalty?
646
00:41:52,379 --> 00:41:54,729
You gave me
five goddamn minutes.
647
00:41:54,773 --> 00:41:57,253
You want to know
what that bought me?
648
00:41:57,297 --> 00:41:58,777
They shot me down.
I was burned all to hell,
649
00:41:58,820 --> 00:42:00,387
living off bark and beetles.
650
00:42:00,430 --> 00:42:03,999
They were on my ass for
months till I got free.
651
00:42:04,043 --> 00:42:06,262
All because you gave me
five minutes.
652
00:42:06,306 --> 00:42:08,177
You were wrong to run.
653
00:42:09,396 --> 00:42:11,050
You were wrong to stay!
654
00:42:11,093 --> 00:42:12,312
[Kwan]
Master Chief, wait!
655
00:42:13,879 --> 00:42:15,881
I've seen what Covenant
weapons are capable of.
656
00:42:15,924 --> 00:42:17,839
Entire planets
turned to glass.
657
00:42:17,883 --> 00:42:19,928
So if they're going after
something bigger,
658
00:42:19,972 --> 00:42:21,669
I have no choice.
659
00:42:23,889 --> 00:42:25,412
And I need you
to keep her here.
660
00:42:25,455 --> 00:42:27,022
- What?
- Soren...
661
00:42:27,066 --> 00:42:30,199
you're the only person
I know outside the UNSC.
662
00:42:30,243 --> 00:42:32,767
I need to trust you
right now.
663
00:42:32,811 --> 00:42:34,421
Can I trust you?
664
00:42:34,464 --> 00:42:36,989
- Of course you can trust--
- Then keep her safe.
665
00:42:40,253 --> 00:42:41,994
- John--
- Promise me.
666
00:42:44,474 --> 00:42:46,433
I give you my word.
667
00:42:47,739 --> 00:42:49,567
Wait, hold on.
668
00:42:49,610 --> 00:42:52,308
Don't I get a say in this?
669
00:42:52,352 --> 00:42:55,224
You can't just leave me here.
670
00:42:56,399 --> 00:42:57,836
I'm sorry, Kwan.
671
00:42:57,879 --> 00:42:59,533
This is the best I could do.
672
00:43:08,716 --> 00:43:10,413
So that's it?
673
00:43:38,703 --> 00:43:40,226
[door seals closed]
674
00:43:48,756 --> 00:43:50,279
[engine powering up]
675
00:43:56,285 --> 00:43:58,287
[beeping]
676
00:43:58,331 --> 00:44:00,507
[engine revs]
677
00:44:45,073 --> 00:44:46,248
[beeping]
678
00:44:49,512 --> 00:44:51,732
[Kai]
Fleetcom, this is Stalwart Dawn.
679
00:44:51,776 --> 00:44:53,952
One-One-Seven has activated
his beacon.
680
00:44:55,170 --> 00:44:57,303
Very well.
681
00:44:57,346 --> 00:44:58,478
Bring him in.
682
00:45:08,575 --> 00:45:10,969
[tech] Stalwart Dawn has entered
Reach airspace.
683
00:45:11,012 --> 00:45:14,102
Initiating ground transfer
of Master Chief and Silver Team.
684
00:45:48,049 --> 00:45:48,833
[Halsey]
Stop here.
685
00:45:54,926 --> 00:45:56,188
Handle it carefully.
686
00:46:13,509 --> 00:46:15,120
Put it in with me.
687
00:47:26,104 --> 00:47:27,105
Well?
688
00:47:30,021 --> 00:47:32,414
I've never seen
anything like it.
689
00:47:32,458 --> 00:47:34,199
Did you tell them that
the Covenant wants this too?
690
00:47:34,242 --> 00:47:35,853
That it might be
some kind of weapon?
691
00:47:35,896 --> 00:47:37,506
- Yes, I did.
- And?
692
00:47:37,550 --> 00:47:40,596
And if it points
to something greater,
693
00:47:40,640 --> 00:47:43,034
of course we'll explore
that possibility.
694
00:47:43,077 --> 00:47:47,473
But, John, your actions
have created a host of problems,
695
00:47:47,516 --> 00:47:49,518
not just for you, but for
the whole Spartan program
696
00:47:49,562 --> 00:47:51,825
and for me personally.
697
00:47:51,869 --> 00:47:53,348
[sighs]
698
00:47:53,392 --> 00:47:57,918
The people rely on you
to protect them,
699
00:47:57,962 --> 00:47:59,528
to make them feel safe.
700
00:47:59,572 --> 00:48:02,705
It is precisely
your dependability
701
00:48:02,749 --> 00:48:04,794
that gives people hope.
702
00:48:04,838 --> 00:48:09,277
How am I supposed to defend
your reckless behavior?
703
00:48:13,151 --> 00:48:14,804
I felt something.
704
00:48:18,678 --> 00:48:20,723
I believe you.
705
00:48:20,767 --> 00:48:22,421
I've been going
over and over in my head...
706
00:48:24,989 --> 00:48:26,468
all the details of the images
707
00:48:26,512 --> 00:48:27,992
that I see when
I touch the object.
708
00:48:28,035 --> 00:48:29,950
I don't know.
709
00:48:29,994 --> 00:48:31,952
I don't think that's a
constructive place for us to go.
710
00:48:31,996 --> 00:48:34,041
I think we should focus
on the lab results.
711
00:48:42,702 --> 00:48:46,793
What was it about the girl
that made you run?
712
00:48:51,276 --> 00:48:53,147
[Vinsher, over monitor]
Madrigal has a gift.
713
00:48:53,191 --> 00:48:55,933
It runs through our rivers,
in our lakes,
714
00:48:55,976 --> 00:48:57,543
and the ground
on which we live.
715
00:48:57,586 --> 00:49:02,069
And with our partners
in the UNSC,
716
00:49:02,113 --> 00:49:05,899
we will return to our place
717
00:49:05,943 --> 00:49:08,249
as the gem
of the outer colonies.
718
00:49:10,469 --> 00:49:12,993
[John]
I couldn't let her die.
719
00:49:13,037 --> 00:49:15,691
[Halsey] But you've seen
so many people die.
720
00:49:15,735 --> 00:49:18,477
Why was this situation
any different?
721
00:49:28,530 --> 00:49:30,445
[John] Well I don't think
the situation was different.
722
00:49:30,489 --> 00:49:31,664
I think...
723
00:49:32,795 --> 00:49:33,971
I am...
724
00:49:35,450 --> 00:49:36,625
different.
725
00:49:42,283 --> 00:49:45,199
I feel connected to something.
726
00:49:52,511 --> 00:49:56,254
I don't know what it is
or why it chose me.
727
00:50:00,693 --> 00:50:02,347
But I know it's out there.
728
00:50:07,961 --> 00:50:09,354
I can feel it.
729
00:50:12,270 --> 00:50:14,011
[Halsey]
Have you felt this way before?
730
00:50:20,017 --> 00:50:21,931
I don't usually feel anything.
731
00:50:26,675 --> 00:50:29,026
Then why did you come back?
732
00:50:41,647 --> 00:50:43,692
There's no one else
I could trust.
733
00:50:47,000 --> 00:50:48,523
Thank you.
734
00:50:51,700 --> 00:50:53,572
You made the right choice.
735
00:51:07,368 --> 00:51:09,588
I see this as a new beginning.
736
00:51:17,857 --> 00:51:19,554
[keypad beeps]
737
00:51:25,517 --> 00:51:29,477
[Halsey] We're going to
do great things together.
738
00:51:37,094 --> 00:51:40,749
