1
00:00:00,839 --> 00:00:04,409
[narrator]
Previously, on Halo.
2
00:00:04,476 --> 00:00:06,778
[Parangosky] We've been fighting
these alien creatures for years,
3
00:00:06,845 --> 00:00:09,013
and we still have no idea
what they want.
4
00:00:09,080 --> 00:00:11,116
[Professor]
Spartans aren't human.
5
00:00:11,182 --> 00:00:13,651
They're faster,
stronger, smarter.
6
00:00:13,718 --> 00:00:16,388
They just keep on killing.
7
00:00:18,556 --> 00:00:20,325
No!
8
00:00:20,392 --> 00:00:22,160
[John] Commencing search of
the area for enemy landing site.
9
00:00:22,227 --> 00:00:24,195
Covenant forces appear
to be excavating
10
00:00:24,262 --> 00:00:26,398
for some kind of object.
11
00:00:26,464 --> 00:00:28,199
[Makee, in alien language]
12
00:00:35,240 --> 00:00:36,374
Retrieving now.
13
00:00:36,441 --> 00:00:37,809
[Mercy, in alien language]
14
00:00:42,180 --> 00:00:44,749
[John] I saw things
when I touched the object.
15
00:00:44,816 --> 00:00:46,384
-A family.
-The security committee's
16
00:00:46,451 --> 00:00:48,720
looking for an excuse
to cut your funding.
17
00:00:48,787 --> 00:00:52,090
No cloning, no Cortana.
Is that clear?
18
00:00:52,157 --> 00:00:55,260
[Miranda]
You didn't order an Article 72.
19
00:00:55,326 --> 00:00:57,328
We're murdering a teenage girl.
20
00:00:57,395 --> 00:00:59,764
[John] You're gonna need
to listen to me.
21
00:00:59,831 --> 00:01:01,166
Why should I trust you?
22
00:01:02,400 --> 00:01:03,668
[John]
You want me dead...
23
00:01:03,735 --> 00:01:05,603
you'll need to aim up here.
24
00:01:05,670 --> 00:01:07,572
-What are you doing?
-[John] I'm trying to help you.
25
00:01:07,639 --> 00:01:08,840
If this ship lands,
26
00:01:08,907 --> 00:01:10,775
they will remove you
and execute you.
27
00:01:10,842 --> 00:01:12,343
[Parangosky] Put out the alarm.
28
00:01:12,410 --> 00:01:13,344
Scramble everyone
to landing bay.
29
00:01:13,411 --> 00:01:15,680
Full squadron protocol.
30
00:01:15,747 --> 00:01:18,183
Protect Master Chief from anyone
31
00:01:18,249 --> 00:01:20,285
who actively
threatens his life.
32
00:01:20,351 --> 00:01:22,654
[Keyes]
Knock it down!
33
00:01:22,720 --> 00:01:24,522
[Kwan]
You just decided to help me?
34
00:01:24,589 --> 00:01:27,425
Why would a Spartan do that?
35
00:01:27,492 --> 00:01:29,194
I don't know.
36
00:01:34,866 --> 00:01:36,434
Strap in.
37
00:02:42,834 --> 00:02:44,636
[indistinct shouting]
38
00:02:48,740 --> 00:02:50,542
[aircraft flying overhead]
39
00:02:57,849 --> 00:02:58,816
[dogs barking]
40
00:02:58,883 --> 00:03:01,686
[vehicle engines chugging]
41
00:03:06,024 --> 00:03:07,358
Soren.
42
00:03:08,426 --> 00:03:09,561
Soren!
43
00:03:09,627 --> 00:03:11,296
John.
44
00:03:11,362 --> 00:03:12,697
Where's your armor, man?
45
00:03:14,966 --> 00:03:16,334
Where's your ditch bag?
46
00:03:19,704 --> 00:03:20,872
I'm not going.
47
00:03:20,939 --> 00:03:22,540
What are you talking about?
48
00:03:25,843 --> 00:03:27,712
I can't let you go.
49
00:03:30,281 --> 00:03:31,583
What changed your mind?
50
00:03:32,650 --> 00:03:34,218
Every Spartan has the duty
51
00:03:34,285 --> 00:03:34,919
to prevent actions
that will harm the program.
52
00:03:34,986 --> 00:03:36,688
John, stop! Stop!
53
00:03:36,754 --> 00:03:39,290
If you fail to comply
with my orders, I will be--
54
00:03:39,357 --> 00:03:41,259
I will be compelled to use
all necessary means,
55
00:03:41,326 --> 00:03:43,227
including lethal force
to blah-biddy blah.
56
00:03:43,294 --> 00:03:46,564
That ain't training, man.
That's programming.
57
00:03:48,333 --> 00:03:49,467
I mean it, Soren.
58
00:03:50,735 --> 00:03:51,936
Man.
59
00:03:54,606 --> 00:03:57,842
Didn't all those dreams we had
mean anything?
60
00:04:00,845 --> 00:04:02,380
I don't have dreams.
61
00:04:02,447 --> 00:04:03,848
That's what I'm here for.
62
00:04:03,915 --> 00:04:06,384
I'll do the dreaming
for the both of us.
63
00:04:07,485 --> 00:04:08,820
Look...
64
00:04:08,886 --> 00:04:10,655
We'll be on the Rubble
by morning.
65
00:04:10,722 --> 00:04:12,457
Have a good breakfast.
66
00:04:12,523 --> 00:04:13,891
No one will find us there.
67
00:04:13,958 --> 00:04:15,293
John, it's a fresh start.
68
00:04:22,667 --> 00:04:24,469
This place...
69
00:04:24,535 --> 00:04:26,337
This place cost me my arm.
70
00:04:27,639 --> 00:04:28,973
And what's good about that
71
00:04:29,040 --> 00:04:32,310
is you can see
what Halsey did.
72
00:04:32,377 --> 00:04:34,345
But what she's taking
from you, John...
73
00:04:37,949 --> 00:04:39,951
I'm not even sure you'll
realize when it's gone.
74
00:04:42,387 --> 00:04:43,755
[scoffs]
75
00:04:45,456 --> 00:04:46,591
Don't.
76
00:04:50,595 --> 00:04:51,996
If I want it
to be anyone, John...
77
00:04:53,898 --> 00:04:55,566
I want it to be you.
78
00:04:57,101 --> 00:04:58,436
Either way...
79
00:05:02,407 --> 00:05:04,008
I'm a free man.
80
00:05:15,453 --> 00:05:16,788
It appears that the firearm
81
00:05:16,854 --> 00:05:18,356
available to me at
this moment is jammed.
82
00:05:20,391 --> 00:05:21,926
Come with me.
83
00:05:23,961 --> 00:05:26,097
You've got five minutes,
84
00:05:26,164 --> 00:05:29,000
and then I'm waking up
the entire camp.
85
00:05:31,169 --> 00:05:32,603
-Make it ten?
-Five!
86
00:05:57,829 --> 00:05:59,063
Whoa.
87
00:06:08,573 --> 00:06:10,041
[Kwan]
How fast are we going?
88
00:06:11,576 --> 00:06:13,444
[John]
It's not about the speed.
89
00:06:13,511 --> 00:06:16,748
We're taking a more direct path
through space.
90
00:06:16,814 --> 00:06:18,382
[Kwan]
What?
91
00:06:18,449 --> 00:06:20,718
If you think of space
like a ball of yarn
92
00:06:20,785 --> 00:06:22,653
with multiple threads
to the same destination--
93
00:06:22,720 --> 00:06:24,122
You're ruining it.
94
00:06:28,893 --> 00:06:33,798
That thing you took
from Madrigal, what is it?
95
00:06:34,665 --> 00:06:36,000
Don't know.
96
00:06:37,969 --> 00:06:39,637
How'd you make it
start the ship?
97
00:06:41,005 --> 00:06:42,440
Don't know.
98
00:06:42,507 --> 00:06:43,808
"Don't know."
99
00:06:45,510 --> 00:06:46,911
Okay.
100
00:06:50,615 --> 00:06:52,850
Why are you doing this?
101
00:06:52,917 --> 00:06:56,988
Why didn't you just take me in,
let them kill me?
102
00:07:02,593 --> 00:07:04,695
Would you let a kid
be executed?
103
00:07:04,762 --> 00:07:06,197
[scoffs]
No.
104
00:07:07,732 --> 00:07:09,534
Why not?
105
00:07:09,600 --> 00:07:10,935
Because it's wrong.
106
00:07:15,540 --> 00:07:17,441
That's what I was thinking.
107
00:07:22,647 --> 00:07:23,815
Thank you.
108
00:07:28,252 --> 00:07:29,587
You're welcome.
109
00:08:43,594 --> 00:08:45,129
[jet engines roaring]
110
00:08:47,632 --> 00:08:49,133
[Halsey]
Yes, Silver Team is gearing up
111
00:08:49,200 --> 00:08:51,535
to bring in Master Chief
peacefully.
112
00:08:51,602 --> 00:08:53,871
[Hood] Let's talk about
how One-One-Seven escaped.
113
00:08:53,938 --> 00:08:55,740
[Halsey]
I think it has something to do
114
00:08:55,806 --> 00:08:58,776
with the object that he was
bringing back from Madrigal.
115
00:08:58,843 --> 00:09:02,813
It's capable of creating
enormous energy fields.
116
00:09:02,880 --> 00:09:04,282
[Hood]
What is it exactly?
117
00:09:04,348 --> 00:09:06,250
I don't know.
118
00:09:06,317 --> 00:09:08,286
I think that's the first
I've ever heard
119
00:09:08,352 --> 00:09:12,056
the brilliant Catherine Halsey
utter the words "I don't know."
120
00:09:12,123 --> 00:09:14,625
What I do know is that
the Covenant sent two ships
121
00:09:14,692 --> 00:09:16,928
and 20 Elite warriors
to try and retrieve it.
122
00:09:16,994 --> 00:09:18,963
Well, then we want it too.
123
00:09:19,030 --> 00:09:20,231
Exactly.
124
00:09:20,298 --> 00:09:21,599
And when we find
the Master Chief...
125
00:09:23,267 --> 00:09:24,902
what does one do
with a superhuman
126
00:09:24,969 --> 00:09:26,837
you're not sure
you can trust?
127
00:09:26,904 --> 00:09:28,839
I am sure I can trust him.
128
00:09:30,341 --> 00:09:32,076
But to assuage any doubt,
129
00:09:32,143 --> 00:09:34,979
Admiral Parangosky and I
have devised
130
00:09:35,046 --> 00:09:37,915
an insurance plan
for the future.
131
00:09:37,982 --> 00:09:39,984
Do you know how I rose
to this position?
132
00:09:41,385 --> 00:09:44,822
By keeping my mind clear
of unnecessary concerns.
133
00:09:45,890 --> 00:09:47,325
So if you have a plan,
134
00:09:47,391 --> 00:09:49,160
the committee
should hear it.
135
00:09:51,295 --> 00:09:52,630
Just keep it light.
136
00:09:54,799 --> 00:09:56,934
[jets flying overhead]
137
00:09:57,001 --> 00:09:59,070
[Vannak]
Still no contact,
138
00:09:59,136 --> 00:10:01,839
and his beacon is turned off.
139
00:10:01,906 --> 00:10:03,641
He's gonna come back.
140
00:10:03,708 --> 00:10:04,875
He wouldn't just leave us.
141
00:10:04,942 --> 00:10:07,044
Chief's always got a plan.
142
00:10:07,111 --> 00:10:08,846
[Riz]
Kai, Vannak,
143
00:10:08,913 --> 00:10:10,815
slipspace vector tracking
on the Condor just came in.
144
00:10:10,881 --> 00:10:13,751
We won't have his exact
location, but we'll be close.
145
00:10:15,853 --> 00:10:17,388
[Kai]
Vannak.
146
00:10:17,455 --> 00:10:19,957
If he's got a plan,
why are we going after him?
147
00:10:20,024 --> 00:10:22,927
Halsey's orders.
We'll find out when we need to.
148
00:10:43,481 --> 00:10:45,683
[alarm tweeting]
149
00:10:45,750 --> 00:10:47,718
-What's that sound?
-Proximity alarm.
150
00:10:54,392 --> 00:10:56,894
We exited slipspace
into an asteroid field.
151
00:10:56,961 --> 00:10:57,795
[Kwan]
Oh, my God!
152
00:10:59,463 --> 00:11:01,899
-We're gonna die!
-Everything dies.
153
00:11:01,966 --> 00:11:03,300
Sit down and buckle up.
154
00:11:03,367 --> 00:11:05,236
Tell me you have a plan.
155
00:11:06,804 --> 00:11:08,339
Sit down.
156
00:11:08,406 --> 00:11:09,807
Buckle up.
157
00:11:09,874 --> 00:11:11,842
[panting]
158
00:11:17,448 --> 00:11:19,383
[groaning]
159
00:11:19,450 --> 00:11:20,918
No, no, no!
160
00:11:20,985 --> 00:11:22,386
[alarm beeps rapidly]
161
00:11:24,855 --> 00:11:26,190
[loud rumble]
162
00:11:26,257 --> 00:11:28,125
[breathing heavily]
163
00:12:29,453 --> 00:12:31,288
-[panel beeps]
-[door hinges creak]
164
00:12:34,358 --> 00:12:36,393
[indistinct chatter]
165
00:12:38,963 --> 00:12:40,431
-[Trokan] Squirrel.
-[Squirrel] What is it?
166
00:12:41,499 --> 00:12:43,067
[speaking Hungarian]
167
00:12:44,168 --> 00:12:45,769
Get the boss.
168
00:12:45,836 --> 00:12:47,838
-[guns cock]
-Oi!
169
00:12:47,905 --> 00:12:49,507
[indistinct chatter]
170
00:13:02,052 --> 00:13:02,987
Spartan.
171
00:13:11,896 --> 00:13:13,998
This is your plan?
172
00:13:15,633 --> 00:13:17,067
We're fine.
173
00:13:18,235 --> 00:13:19,170
Willy!
174
00:13:32,483 --> 00:13:35,052
[men laughing]
175
00:13:37,521 --> 00:13:39,023
[grunts]
176
00:13:40,224 --> 00:13:41,892
[laughs]
177
00:13:43,360 --> 00:13:45,596
[loud scraping]
178
00:13:57,975 --> 00:14:00,945
Ladies and gentlemen,
put your weapons down.
179
00:14:02,146 --> 00:14:04,114
If John here wanted you dead,
180
00:14:04,181 --> 00:14:05,316
you'd be dead.
181
00:14:07,651 --> 00:14:10,054
Nice of you to drop by.
182
00:14:15,092 --> 00:14:16,894
Hello, Soren.
183
00:14:16,961 --> 00:14:18,195
Look at you.
184
00:14:23,534 --> 00:14:25,636
Welcome to the Rubble.
185
00:14:25,703 --> 00:14:28,005
Let me show you
what you missed out on.
186
00:14:31,075 --> 00:14:32,643
Soren, this is Kwan Ha.
187
00:14:32,710 --> 00:14:34,211
I'm looking for
a place for her.
188
00:14:34,278 --> 00:14:35,212
You're the one that they
189
00:14:35,279 --> 00:14:36,580
just issued a bounty for.
190
00:14:36,647 --> 00:14:38,482
UNSC is offering a bounty?
191
00:14:38,549 --> 00:14:40,651
-[man] Back to work!
-[Soren] UNSC? No.
192
00:14:40,718 --> 00:14:43,087
Well, who's the new top cat
on Madrigal?
193
00:14:43,153 --> 00:14:45,356
-Vinsher.
-Vinsher?
194
00:14:45,422 --> 00:14:47,524
He's a traitor
to the resistance.
195
00:14:47,591 --> 00:14:51,495
Apparently, uh, the UNSC's
preferred replacement
196
00:14:51,562 --> 00:14:54,198
didn't just take
your father's office,
197
00:14:54,265 --> 00:14:55,499
he's cleaning house.
198
00:14:55,566 --> 00:14:58,068
Offering cash for your head,
literally.
199
00:14:58,135 --> 00:14:59,603
Should I have
not said it like that?
200
00:15:02,106 --> 00:15:04,275
Wait, you thought
that it was the UNSC
201
00:15:04,341 --> 00:15:06,243
that was offering
a bounty, so--
202
00:15:06,310 --> 00:15:07,511
So they also want me dead.
203
00:15:10,014 --> 00:15:11,448
Damn.
204
00:15:11,515 --> 00:15:13,450
You're making friends
all over.
205
00:15:13,517 --> 00:15:15,152
[indistinct chatter]
206
00:15:17,421 --> 00:15:18,589
[horn beeps]
207
00:15:23,994 --> 00:15:25,329
Here it is.
208
00:15:25,396 --> 00:15:28,532
Home to every misfit,
reprobate, outlaw,
209
00:15:28,599 --> 00:15:30,100
and renegade
in the galaxy.
210
00:15:30,167 --> 00:15:31,535
-No law.
-Ah!
211
00:15:31,602 --> 00:15:35,205
No police. No government.
No responsibility.
212
00:15:35,272 --> 00:15:38,042
It's everything
we always talked about, man.
213
00:15:38,108 --> 00:15:41,145
Absolute freedom,
just like I always promised.
214
00:15:42,413 --> 00:15:44,248
-[rumbling]
-[electricity crackles]
215
00:15:57,528 --> 00:15:58,996
Mind the gap.
216
00:16:08,138 --> 00:16:09,707
[cable car rumbling]
217
00:16:26,223 --> 00:16:28,125
Got a whole rock to myself.
218
00:16:30,561 --> 00:16:33,030
Go where I want to go,
do what I want to do.
219
00:16:35,165 --> 00:16:37,067
I'm happy for you.
220
00:16:37,134 --> 00:16:38,369
Well, I can see that.
221
00:16:43,374 --> 00:16:44,508
[grunts]
222
00:17:35,559 --> 00:17:37,561
So many secrets.
223
00:18:03,387 --> 00:18:04,555
Daddy! Daddy!
224
00:18:04,621 --> 00:18:06,623
-Hey!
-[giggles]
225
00:18:06,690 --> 00:18:08,358
This little guy's name
is Kessler.
226
00:18:08,425 --> 00:18:09,726
[chuckles]
227
00:18:09,793 --> 00:18:11,195
You have a child?
228
00:18:11,261 --> 00:18:12,629
[Kessler]
Did you bring me anything?
229
00:18:12,696 --> 00:18:14,698
I'm a pirate.
That's what we do.
230
00:18:14,765 --> 00:18:16,700
-But not till after dinner.
-Aw.
231
00:18:16,767 --> 00:18:18,235
Go get your mom.
We got company.
232
00:18:20,237 --> 00:18:21,638
You can leave
your gear here.
233
00:18:21,705 --> 00:18:23,807
I just redid the floors.
234
00:18:23,874 --> 00:18:25,375
Ah.
235
00:18:25,442 --> 00:18:27,110
[chuckles]
My wife, Laera.
236
00:18:27,177 --> 00:18:29,513
My galactic princess.
237
00:18:29,580 --> 00:18:31,582
It's kind of you
to have us.
238
00:18:32,816 --> 00:18:34,418
John.
239
00:18:36,787 --> 00:18:38,522
Soren speaks of you so often.
240
00:18:38,589 --> 00:18:40,824
[Soren]
Not that often, my dear.
241
00:18:40,891 --> 00:18:42,726
Not that often.
242
00:19:00,577 --> 00:19:02,579
[Makee, speaking alien language]
243
00:19:24,535 --> 00:19:25,836
[snarls]
244
00:20:54,925 --> 00:20:56,827
[Keyes]
Governor Vinsher has control
245
00:20:56,893 --> 00:20:59,029
of the situation
on Madrigal,
246
00:20:59,096 --> 00:21:01,465
but perhaps with somewhat
more of an iron fist
247
00:21:01,531 --> 00:21:03,734
than we anticipated
when we put him in charge.
248
00:21:03,800 --> 00:21:06,903
Vinsher's crude, but he's
a reliable business partner.
249
00:21:06,970 --> 00:21:08,872
The deuterium
will soon be flowing,
250
00:21:08,939 --> 00:21:11,441
and the relative calm
has had a positive effect
251
00:21:11,508 --> 00:21:13,276
on fuel prices
across the galaxy.
252
00:21:13,343 --> 00:21:15,545
The other colonies
have taken notice.
253
00:21:15,612 --> 00:21:17,681
Well done, Keyes.
254
00:21:17,748 --> 00:21:19,583
For once,
some positive news.
255
00:21:19,650 --> 00:21:23,487
Captain Keyes, is there any word
on the Master Chief?
256
00:21:23,553 --> 00:21:25,756
The search for him
continues.
257
00:21:25,822 --> 00:21:28,025
I have no doubt we'll find him,
and when we do,
258
00:21:28,091 --> 00:21:29,826
I can assure you,
259
00:21:29,893 --> 00:21:32,462
his punishment will be
commensurate with his crimes.
260
00:21:32,529 --> 00:21:34,965
[Hood]
Is that wise?
261
00:21:35,032 --> 00:21:37,968
Master Chief is not only
a valuable battle asset,
262
00:21:38,035 --> 00:21:39,903
he's a symbol
for the whole war effort.
263
00:21:39,970 --> 00:21:42,539
Punishment not only puts him
out of commission,
264
00:21:42,606 --> 00:21:44,941
it could be very bad
for morale.
265
00:21:45,008 --> 00:21:47,310
But what good is he
to the war effort
266
00:21:47,377 --> 00:21:48,612
if he can't be controlled?
267
00:21:48,679 --> 00:21:50,614
[murmuring]
268
00:21:50,681 --> 00:21:54,017
Actually, Admiral Parangosky
and I have been ahead of this
269
00:21:54,084 --> 00:21:55,352
for some time.
270
00:21:55,419 --> 00:21:57,454
I've developed a new system
271
00:21:57,521 --> 00:21:59,589
which will solve John's
current issues
272
00:21:59,656 --> 00:22:02,993
and expand Spartan capability
across the board.
273
00:22:04,828 --> 00:22:06,897
It's called Cortana.
274
00:22:08,765 --> 00:22:10,801
And how does it work?
275
00:22:10,867 --> 00:22:12,402
Spartan bodies
have been enhanced
276
00:22:12,469 --> 00:22:14,438
to the limits
of our current technology,
277
00:22:14,504 --> 00:22:16,506
so Cortana will do something
similar for their minds.
278
00:22:16,573 --> 00:22:18,842
It will overwrite
Spartan consciousness
279
00:22:18,909 --> 00:22:22,846
and replace it with a artificial
general intelligence.
280
00:22:22,913 --> 00:22:25,382
The first of its kind.
281
00:22:25,449 --> 00:22:27,417
I don't understand.
282
00:22:28,919 --> 00:22:32,789
Cortana is the next stage
in human evolution.
283
00:22:37,794 --> 00:22:40,664
[Halsey] The Spartans
were the first step.
284
00:22:40,731 --> 00:22:42,766
Cortana is the upgrade.
285
00:22:46,803 --> 00:22:51,108
She represents the sum total
of every available data point.
286
00:22:52,843 --> 00:22:55,645
The intelligence of the galaxy,
in essence.
287
00:22:57,781 --> 00:23:02,152
With Cortana, we will create
Spartans who are more lethal...
288
00:23:03,553 --> 00:23:06,523
their judgment error-free,
289
00:23:06,590 --> 00:23:09,392
their performance
upgradeable,
290
00:23:09,459 --> 00:23:12,462
and, most importantly,
291
00:23:12,529 --> 00:23:13,897
controllable.
292
00:23:13,964 --> 00:23:15,098
[Keyes]
And what about John?
293
00:23:15,165 --> 00:23:16,933
You can't just replace his mind.
294
00:23:18,168 --> 00:23:20,403
We are talking about a person.
295
00:23:20,470 --> 00:23:22,806
John is much more
than a person.
296
00:23:22,873 --> 00:23:24,775
He is a Spartan.
297
00:23:26,710 --> 00:23:30,046
For his own safety and for ours,
John doesn't feel as we do.
298
00:23:30,113 --> 00:23:33,116
Hormonal pellets
have suppressed his emotions.
299
00:23:33,183 --> 00:23:36,419
John was enhanced and trained
for one purpose:
300
00:23:36,486 --> 00:23:38,455
to fight for us.
301
00:23:38,522 --> 00:23:41,191
And at the moment,
he and the other Spartans
302
00:23:41,258 --> 00:23:45,829
are our only effective weapons
against the Covenant.
303
00:23:45,896 --> 00:23:48,665
But with the help
of the Cortana system...
304
00:23:50,500 --> 00:23:52,169
we can win this war.
305
00:23:52,235 --> 00:23:54,638
[Penma]
Didn't you author a paper
306
00:23:54,704 --> 00:23:57,174
about a hypothetical artificial
general intelligence
307
00:23:57,240 --> 00:23:59,776
that could interface
directly with humans?
308
00:24:01,011 --> 00:24:02,846
Yes, I authored several.
309
00:24:02,913 --> 00:24:06,216
And didn't that process depend
on biological substrates?
310
00:24:06,283 --> 00:24:07,751
Derived from
the illegal practice
311
00:24:07,818 --> 00:24:09,619
of flash-cloning humans?
312
00:24:11,788 --> 00:24:13,924
That's correct.
313
00:24:13,990 --> 00:24:15,692
Have you found a way
around that?
314
00:24:17,928 --> 00:24:21,064
Admiral Parangosky,
315
00:24:21,131 --> 00:24:23,767
Section Three
is your responsibility.
316
00:24:23,834 --> 00:24:27,604
Any advantage we can get
on the Covenant is a good thing.
317
00:24:27,671 --> 00:24:29,105
But just so we're clear,
318
00:24:29,172 --> 00:24:31,541
you're on board
with Halsey's program?
319
00:24:35,111 --> 00:24:38,648
I think the case of Master Chief
provides an opportunity
320
00:24:38,715 --> 00:24:42,752
for a limited trial
of the system, yes.
321
00:24:42,819 --> 00:24:43,954
[Hood] Good,
I'll leave it to you
322
00:24:44,020 --> 00:24:46,156
to manage
the technical hurdles.
323
00:24:48,625 --> 00:24:52,495
Let's get Master Chief back
and put this mess behind us.
324
00:24:52,562 --> 00:24:54,130
We have a war to win.
325
00:25:17,888 --> 00:25:21,258
Remember the tale
of the rebel Jin.
326
00:25:24,227 --> 00:25:27,564
And what a spot
he put Madrigal in.
327
00:25:30,700 --> 00:25:33,703
Led us into costly war.
328
00:25:36,172 --> 00:25:38,008
Oh.
329
00:25:38,074 --> 00:25:42,746
And then he stole our hydrogen.
330
00:25:44,648 --> 00:25:46,616
[aircraft warbling overhead]
331
00:25:55,091 --> 00:25:58,261
[indistinct radio chatter]
332
00:26:06,870 --> 00:26:08,838
Vinsher hated my father.
333
00:26:10,974 --> 00:26:14,077
He was always looking a way
to cut a deal with the UNSC.
334
00:26:17,347 --> 00:26:19,215
Now Madrigal is his.
335
00:26:20,951 --> 00:26:22,152
I'm so sorry.
336
00:26:23,753 --> 00:26:25,355
I know how you feel.
337
00:26:25,422 --> 00:26:26,690
Do you?
338
00:26:26,756 --> 00:26:28,191
I lost my whole family
339
00:26:28,258 --> 00:26:30,760
when I was just a little
younger than you are now.
340
00:26:32,062 --> 00:26:34,764
I lost my whole planet
to the Covenant.
341
00:26:34,831 --> 00:26:37,100
Everyone I love,
until I met Soren.
342
00:26:41,438 --> 00:26:42,872
You want revenge.
343
00:26:46,443 --> 00:26:48,011
I want justice.
344
00:26:49,713 --> 00:26:51,715
Revenge and justice
are easy to confuse.
345
00:26:58,922 --> 00:27:00,724
Go ahead, taste it.
346
00:27:07,697 --> 00:27:09,299
I don't taste anything.
347
00:27:09,366 --> 00:27:11,701
You stick around here
long enough, you will.
348
00:27:11,768 --> 00:27:13,236
That's freedom, man.
349
00:27:13,303 --> 00:27:16,673
How big a jump did you get
on the UNSC?
350
00:27:17,774 --> 00:27:19,009
Not big enough.
351
00:27:19,075 --> 00:27:20,210
I give them a day.
352
00:27:22,312 --> 00:27:23,813
More than you gave me.
353
00:27:23,880 --> 00:27:25,015
Yep.
354
00:27:25,081 --> 00:27:26,216
[grunts]
355
00:27:26,282 --> 00:27:27,417
Mm-mm.
356
00:27:30,186 --> 00:27:31,855
I don't get it, John.
357
00:27:31,921 --> 00:27:33,823
Get what?
358
00:27:33,890 --> 00:27:35,091
This.
359
00:27:35,158 --> 00:27:37,160
You.
360
00:27:37,227 --> 00:27:38,928
Showing up here,
on the run from your people,
361
00:27:38,995 --> 00:27:41,231
carrying a fugitive.
362
00:27:41,297 --> 00:27:43,733
I mean, who are you?
363
00:27:45,168 --> 00:27:47,037
I'm trying to figure
a few things out.
364
00:27:47,103 --> 00:27:49,139
Like what's in that box?
365
00:27:51,474 --> 00:27:52,909
There you are.
366
00:27:52,976 --> 00:27:54,310
-Sorry.
-Mmm, mmm, mmm.
367
00:27:54,377 --> 00:27:56,346
We were just getting to know
each other.
368
00:27:56,413 --> 00:27:57,814
Us too.
369
00:27:57,881 --> 00:27:59,983
[child shouts, giggles]
370
00:28:00,850 --> 00:28:02,419
[grunts]
371
00:28:02,485 --> 00:28:04,854
I can name all the planets
in the sky.
372
00:28:04,921 --> 00:28:06,056
Can you?
373
00:28:06,122 --> 00:28:08,725
[Kessler]
Maybe not all.
374
00:28:08,792 --> 00:28:10,994
[Soren]
Who'd have thought it?
375
00:28:11,061 --> 00:28:14,264
Me... wife... a kid.
376
00:28:14,330 --> 00:28:16,766
[Kessler] If you want,
I could show you them.
377
00:28:16,833 --> 00:28:18,201
I thought
it was impossible.
378
00:28:18,268 --> 00:28:19,736
[Soren inhaling]
379
00:28:19,803 --> 00:28:21,271
I thought the treatments
they gave us--
380
00:28:21,337 --> 00:28:22,472
Treatments?
381
00:28:22,539 --> 00:28:24,107
[laughs]
382
00:28:25,475 --> 00:28:27,310
He's still calling them
treatments.
383
00:28:27,377 --> 00:28:29,379
Maybe he still believes it.
384
00:28:31,548 --> 00:28:33,383
-[Kwan] What is it?
-Clarity.
385
00:28:33,450 --> 00:28:37,087
I think I've had enough clarity
for one day, thanks.
386
00:28:37,153 --> 00:28:38,922
[Soren] There's something
you need to know
387
00:28:38,988 --> 00:28:43,093
about the Spartan program
and all those treatments, John.
388
00:28:43,159 --> 00:28:44,894
What they did to us,
it's only permanent
389
00:28:44,961 --> 00:28:46,362
if we choose to let it be.
390
00:28:46,429 --> 00:28:48,898
Doesn't matter how long
it had you.
391
00:28:48,965 --> 00:28:51,935
For example,
that pellet you got in your back
392
00:28:52,001 --> 00:28:54,237
that enhances battle focus?
393
00:28:54,304 --> 00:28:55,839
It mutes everything.
394
00:28:55,905 --> 00:28:57,073
It eliminates distraction.
395
00:28:57,140 --> 00:28:59,309
It makes you numb.
396
00:28:59,375 --> 00:29:00,977
It makes you as numb to life
397
00:29:01,044 --> 00:29:04,347
as you are to the taste
of this food.
398
00:29:06,182 --> 00:29:07,750
Mmm, mmm, mmm.
399
00:29:07,817 --> 00:29:09,185
-[chuckles]
-[Soren] Mmm.
400
00:29:09,252 --> 00:29:10,920
John...
401
00:29:10,987 --> 00:29:12,755
lose the pellet
402
00:29:12,822 --> 00:29:16,292
and it's like opening your eyes
for the first time
403
00:29:16,359 --> 00:29:17,527
after living in the dark.
404
00:29:17,594 --> 00:29:20,897
Soren, leave John be.
405
00:29:20,964 --> 00:29:23,500
He has a lot on his mind.
406
00:29:25,935 --> 00:29:27,437
-I got you.
-Pew, pew! No, you don't.
407
00:29:27,504 --> 00:29:29,339
[Laera] It means a lot to
Soren that you've come,
408
00:29:29,405 --> 00:29:31,875
though I get a sense
that you won't be staying.
409
00:29:31,941 --> 00:29:33,443
-[Kessler laughs]
-Like you said,
410
00:29:33,510 --> 00:29:34,377
I have a lot on my mind.
411
00:29:34,444 --> 00:29:35,512
[Laera]
Yes.
412
00:29:35,578 --> 00:29:37,347
[gasps]
Kessler.
413
00:29:38,481 --> 00:29:39,949
What's this?
414
00:29:40,016 --> 00:29:41,918
[Laera]
It's, um...
415
00:29:41,985 --> 00:29:44,320
It's his sign.
416
00:29:44,387 --> 00:29:45,321
[Soren]
You should be honored, man.
417
00:29:45,388 --> 00:29:47,023
It means he can count on you
418
00:29:47,090 --> 00:29:48,458
and you can count on him.
419
00:30:00,069 --> 00:30:01,804
Thank you, Kessler.
420
00:30:01,871 --> 00:30:03,339
I accept.
421
00:30:03,406 --> 00:30:05,575
[Soren]
"Thank you, Kessler. I accept."
422
00:30:05,642 --> 00:30:07,010
[Soren laughs]
423
00:30:07,076 --> 00:30:08,411
Man, you are a stiff one,
Johnny.
424
00:30:08,478 --> 00:30:09,879
Okay.
425
00:30:09,946 --> 00:30:11,114
Sweet dreams.
426
00:30:11,181 --> 00:30:12,916
Toodle-oo.
427
00:30:12,982 --> 00:30:14,250
Good night.
428
00:30:14,317 --> 00:30:16,119
[Soren]
I guess when a camel flies,
429
00:30:16,186 --> 00:30:18,988
you don't ask how far.
430
00:30:19,055 --> 00:30:20,990
-[Kessler] Good night.
-[Laera] Kessler, let's go.
431
00:30:33,570 --> 00:30:35,905
-[console beeping]
-Vannak. Riz.
432
00:30:38,007 --> 00:30:40,176
-Are you getting this?
-[Vannak] Yes.
433
00:30:40,243 --> 00:30:42,879
Sensor plot has the Condor
dropping out of slipspace
434
00:30:42,946 --> 00:30:44,113
inside an asteroid belt.
435
00:30:44,180 --> 00:30:46,849
It makes no sense.
436
00:30:46,916 --> 00:30:48,051
Stay on the track?
437
00:30:49,285 --> 00:30:50,486
Stay on it.
438
00:31:04,167 --> 00:31:06,436
-Admiral.
-What is it, Doctor?
439
00:31:06,502 --> 00:31:08,137
I'm already
not in the mood.
440
00:31:08,204 --> 00:31:09,906
I understand from my father
that Dr. Halsey
441
00:31:09,973 --> 00:31:12,175
is getting sole access
to the Madrigal object.
442
00:31:12,242 --> 00:31:14,344
If and when we find it.
443
00:31:14,410 --> 00:31:17,547
Ma'am, xeno-technology
is my department.
444
00:31:17,614 --> 00:31:19,082
I'm aware.
445
00:31:19,148 --> 00:31:21,517
If I recall, I put you
in that position.
446
00:31:23,386 --> 00:31:25,421
Dr. Halsey already takes
the lion's share of funding,
447
00:31:25,488 --> 00:31:27,490
and she's only focused
on her Spartans.
448
00:31:27,557 --> 00:31:30,159
All of our advances
in shielding, active camo,
449
00:31:30,226 --> 00:31:31,628
even slipspace navigation
450
00:31:31,694 --> 00:31:34,297
derived from my--
My research.
451
00:31:34,364 --> 00:31:35,999
I'm even making
great progress
452
00:31:36,065 --> 00:31:38,201
in understanding
the Sangheili language.
453
00:31:38,268 --> 00:31:40,903
Whatever this object is,
I'm the one to untangle it.
454
00:31:40,970 --> 00:31:44,941
I could make great strides
if I had you on my side.
455
00:31:46,276 --> 00:31:47,443
So much like your mother.
456
00:31:49,012 --> 00:31:50,546
Except you lack
the polish.
457
00:31:50,613 --> 00:31:52,148
-Ma'am, I--
-I've had enough
458
00:31:52,215 --> 00:31:53,950
of being manipulated
for the day.
459
00:31:54,017 --> 00:31:55,518
Get back to work,
Miranda.
460
00:32:02,258 --> 00:32:03,626
What is it?
461
00:32:03,693 --> 00:32:06,296
Some kind of Covenant artifact,
I think.
462
00:32:06,362 --> 00:32:07,497
What does it do?
463
00:32:09,265 --> 00:32:11,100
-I'm not sure.
-Bullshit.
464
00:32:11,167 --> 00:32:13,603
I can see you're lying
in your eyes.
465
00:32:13,670 --> 00:32:15,471
Now you didn't drag this thing
halfway across the galaxy
466
00:32:15,538 --> 00:32:16,973
because it's pretty.
467
00:32:17,040 --> 00:32:18,708
What does it do?
468
00:32:18,775 --> 00:32:20,343
It powered his ship.
469
00:32:21,611 --> 00:32:23,246
I saw it.
470
00:32:23,313 --> 00:32:25,248
Ship was dead, then he touched
this thing and bam.
471
00:32:25,315 --> 00:32:27,950
How?
472
00:32:28,017 --> 00:32:29,285
I don't know.
473
00:32:33,523 --> 00:32:34,657
[Soren chuckles]
474
00:32:34,724 --> 00:32:36,059
Don't!
475
00:32:38,494 --> 00:32:40,163
It worked for him.
476
00:32:44,100 --> 00:32:45,268
I know a guy.
477
00:32:45,335 --> 00:32:46,469
No.
478
00:32:48,171 --> 00:32:49,439
Not interested
in selling it.
479
00:32:49,505 --> 00:32:51,307
Guy's name is Reth.
480
00:32:51,374 --> 00:32:54,277
He got taken into a Covenant
ship and lived to talk about it.
481
00:32:54,344 --> 00:32:56,346
He's seen things.
482
00:32:57,680 --> 00:32:59,615
He knows things.
483
00:32:59,682 --> 00:33:01,317
Trust me, man.
484
00:33:07,056 --> 00:33:08,424
Where can I find him?
485
00:33:14,564 --> 00:33:16,666
-[indistinct chatter]
-[horn honking]
486
00:33:19,669 --> 00:33:22,538
This is the safest place
in the galaxy you could find?
487
00:33:22,605 --> 00:33:23,740
Weren't a lot
of options.
488
00:33:23,806 --> 00:33:25,208
Rubble is a haven
for people
489
00:33:25,274 --> 00:33:26,175
who don't fit in
anywhere else.
490
00:33:26,242 --> 00:33:28,177
Like you?
491
00:33:28,244 --> 00:33:31,447
[Soren] I'm talking about a
whole other deal, man. Mystics.
492
00:33:31,514 --> 00:33:35,051
Guys like Reth are swimming
in the cosmic river.
493
00:33:35,118 --> 00:33:37,053
Got any good churros today?
494
00:33:37,120 --> 00:33:38,321
Yes, it's hot.
495
00:33:38,388 --> 00:33:40,056
All right,
give me half a dozen.
496
00:33:40,123 --> 00:33:41,457
[steam hissing]
497
00:33:44,093 --> 00:33:46,329
-So he's insane.
-He's sensitive.
498
00:33:46,396 --> 00:33:48,798
Hanging out with the aliens
will change you, brother.
499
00:33:48,865 --> 00:33:50,767
[Soren]
Looks like a jail, but it's not.
500
00:33:50,833 --> 00:33:53,403
It's a refuge for him.
501
00:33:53,469 --> 00:33:55,271
One last thing.
502
00:33:56,706 --> 00:33:58,508
No sudden moves.
503
00:34:02,612 --> 00:34:03,746
[laughs]
I'm just kidding.
504
00:34:04,847 --> 00:34:06,416
Man, lighten up.
505
00:34:18,661 --> 00:34:20,830
Oh, look who it is.
506
00:34:20,897 --> 00:34:22,265
[man]
What's the man's name?
507
00:34:22,331 --> 00:34:24,300
Who's the man? What's his name?
508
00:34:24,367 --> 00:34:27,737
Mr. Selfish.
Mr. Selfish. Mr. Selfish.
509
00:34:27,804 --> 00:34:29,605
Who you calling selfish?
I brought churros.
510
00:34:29,672 --> 00:34:31,107
Spartan.
511
00:34:33,576 --> 00:34:34,710
[growls]
512
00:34:37,346 --> 00:34:38,514
[man]
I can smell them.
513
00:34:46,923 --> 00:34:48,458
They like sweets.
514
00:34:50,393 --> 00:34:51,694
Hey...
515
00:34:51,761 --> 00:34:53,095
Don't worry.
516
00:34:54,163 --> 00:34:55,298
They won't bite you.
517
00:35:12,715 --> 00:35:14,383
[woman shouting distantly]
518
00:35:17,687 --> 00:35:18,821
Hey!
519
00:35:20,756 --> 00:35:22,124
[Soren]
Reth.
520
00:35:22,191 --> 00:35:23,893
It's me, Soren.
You there?
521
00:35:25,962 --> 00:35:28,731
Yeah. Are you?
522
00:35:31,467 --> 00:35:32,735
I brought some friends
with me.
523
00:35:32,802 --> 00:35:34,136
I'm coming in, okay?
524
00:35:35,605 --> 00:35:36,739
[Reth]
Close it!
525
00:35:36,806 --> 00:35:38,407
Close it, close it, close it!
526
00:35:47,917 --> 00:35:49,252
Who's he?
527
00:35:49,318 --> 00:35:50,453
[Soren]
Reth, this is John.
528
00:35:50,520 --> 00:35:52,922
This is Reth.
529
00:35:54,624 --> 00:35:56,692
You've seen them too?
530
00:35:56,759 --> 00:35:58,461
The Covenant?
531
00:35:58,528 --> 00:35:59,762
Yes.
532
00:35:59,829 --> 00:36:01,297
[Reth]
And you fought?
533
00:36:02,665 --> 00:36:04,166
And you won?
534
00:36:05,334 --> 00:36:06,736
Not yet.
535
00:36:06,802 --> 00:36:08,905
[Soren]
John's being modest.
536
00:36:08,971 --> 00:36:11,607
He's a regular Covenant
killing machine.
537
00:36:11,674 --> 00:36:13,175
What'd make him better
538
00:36:13,242 --> 00:36:14,944
is a little bit
of inside information.
539
00:36:16,579 --> 00:36:17,880
Come here.
540
00:36:28,457 --> 00:36:29,458
What's your name?
541
00:36:31,460 --> 00:36:32,795
Kwan.
542
00:36:34,330 --> 00:36:35,965
-Kwan Ha.
-[Reth] Oh, yes, you are.
543
00:36:37,366 --> 00:36:38,601
Kwan Ha.
544
00:36:38,668 --> 00:36:40,236
-Hello? Reth.
-Kwan Ha.
545
00:36:41,537 --> 00:36:43,306
Over here, man.
546
00:36:43,372 --> 00:36:45,741
[laughs]
Hi.
547
00:36:45,808 --> 00:36:47,944
John's got a little something
he wants to show you.
548
00:36:57,653 --> 00:36:59,255
Kwan Ha...
549
00:36:59,322 --> 00:37:00,489
Hey.
550
00:37:06,062 --> 00:37:08,264
[grunts]
551
00:37:08,331 --> 00:37:09,532
Where did you get this?
552
00:37:09,599 --> 00:37:10,833
[John]
On Madrigal.
553
00:37:10,900 --> 00:37:13,002
Covenant detachment
was excavating it.
554
00:37:13,069 --> 00:37:14,604
[Reth]
Madrigal. Poor Madrigal.
555
00:37:14,670 --> 00:37:16,339
You know Madrigal?
556
00:37:16,405 --> 00:37:18,274
Any place that has been
visited by the Covenant
557
00:37:18,341 --> 00:37:20,009
has my sympathies.
558
00:37:20,076 --> 00:37:23,312
Covenant's whole religion
is based on things like this.
559
00:37:23,379 --> 00:37:25,982
Things from another time,
things left behind.
560
00:37:26,048 --> 00:37:28,417
They roam the galaxy looking
for pieces, looking for clues.
561
00:37:28,484 --> 00:37:30,252
Do you understand?
562
00:37:31,454 --> 00:37:33,522
When I was a guest
on their ship,
563
00:37:33,589 --> 00:37:35,691
they asked to see
if I could make them work,
564
00:37:35,758 --> 00:37:38,828
but I could not,
sensitive as I am.
565
00:37:54,610 --> 00:37:56,345
[gasps]
566
00:37:56,412 --> 00:37:58,514
[laughs]
567
00:38:00,750 --> 00:38:01,884
See?
568
00:38:03,786 --> 00:38:05,855
I'm not a Blessed One.
569
00:38:05,921 --> 00:38:09,458
-What's a Blessed One?
-[Reth] Human, only more so.
570
00:38:09,525 --> 00:38:11,560
But what are humans?
Homo sapiens?
571
00:38:11,627 --> 00:38:13,896
An accidental collision
of amino acids.
572
00:38:13,963 --> 00:38:15,865
But is that enough?
Is that all there is?
573
00:38:15,931 --> 00:38:18,067
Being human?
Well, for you, perhaps,
574
00:38:18,134 --> 00:38:20,703
but a Blessed One
has an obligation.
575
00:38:20,770 --> 00:38:22,505
No, not an obligation...
576
00:38:22,571 --> 00:38:23,839
-We're losing' him.
-...a responsibility...
577
00:38:23,906 --> 00:38:26,809
[Reth]
...no, a-a-a moral imperative.
578
00:38:26,876 --> 00:38:28,310
-Or an aperitif.
-Hey.
579
00:38:28,377 --> 00:38:29,612
I always had a nice,
cold glass of--
580
00:38:29,679 --> 00:38:31,447
Reth!
581
00:38:31,514 --> 00:38:32,882
What is this thing?
582
00:38:34,450 --> 00:38:35,818
What does it do?
583
00:38:37,653 --> 00:38:42,892
You don't want to help
the Covenant destroy us, do you?
584
00:38:44,126 --> 00:38:45,928
No.
585
00:38:45,995 --> 00:38:47,329
[gasps]
586
00:38:56,972 --> 00:38:58,107
Good!
587
00:38:58,174 --> 00:38:59,909
[screams]
588
00:39:01,110 --> 00:39:02,712
[all screaming]
589
00:39:08,751 --> 00:39:10,753
[electricity crackling]
590
00:39:12,888 --> 00:39:14,757
[John's mother]
Let's hang this one.
591
00:39:14,824 --> 00:39:16,592
[Young John]
No!
592
00:39:18,561 --> 00:39:20,029
I don't want to do it!
593
00:39:23,999 --> 00:39:25,067
John!
594
00:39:25,134 --> 00:39:29,138
[all screaming]
595
00:39:29,205 --> 00:39:30,840
[crying]
596
00:39:33,175 --> 00:39:35,444
[panting]
597
00:39:35,511 --> 00:39:37,813
What are you?
598
00:39:40,549 --> 00:39:42,885
You bring it to life.
599
00:39:44,520 --> 00:39:48,657
But you are different
than the one they have!
600
00:39:48,724 --> 00:39:50,559
-[screams]
-Easy.
601
00:39:50,626 --> 00:39:52,161
-The one they have?
-[Reth] It's in your eyes.
602
00:39:52,228 --> 00:39:53,696
What do you mean?
603
00:39:53,763 --> 00:39:54,897
-Easy.
-It's in your eyes!
604
00:39:54,964 --> 00:39:55,831
What do you mean?
605
00:39:55,898 --> 00:39:56,732
You don't understand
606
00:39:56,799 --> 00:39:58,567
what you are, do you?
607
00:39:58,634 --> 00:40:00,736
What am I?
608
00:40:00,803 --> 00:40:02,104
[laughs]
609
00:40:04,573 --> 00:40:06,408
[yells]
What am I?!
610
00:40:06,475 --> 00:40:08,110
[panting]
611
00:40:08,177 --> 00:40:10,679
The image you made it produce,
the ring,
612
00:40:10,746 --> 00:40:12,181
that's what they want!
613
00:40:12,248 --> 00:40:13,716
[sobs]
614
00:40:13,783 --> 00:40:15,551
-What is that ring?
-[Reth] A door.
615
00:40:16,619 --> 00:40:17,753
To what?
616
00:40:18,921 --> 00:40:23,425
The end of life as we know it.
617
00:40:26,228 --> 00:40:27,596
So it's a weapon?
618
00:40:29,131 --> 00:40:30,533
Yeah.
619
00:40:36,672 --> 00:40:38,140
You felt it, didn't you?
620
00:40:39,875 --> 00:40:41,010
The darkness.
621
00:40:42,978 --> 00:40:44,113
Yes.
622
00:40:45,648 --> 00:40:47,817
That means
you can stop it.
623
00:40:48,884 --> 00:40:50,553
How?
624
00:40:53,689 --> 00:40:55,191
Destroy the artifact.
625
00:40:57,226 --> 00:40:59,061
Then destroy yourself.
626
00:41:06,969 --> 00:41:09,238
John. Hey.
627
00:41:10,606 --> 00:41:11,974
John!
628
00:41:16,912 --> 00:41:18,113
[gasps softly]
629
00:41:18,180 --> 00:41:19,548
[Soren]
John, hold up.
630
00:41:19,615 --> 00:41:20,816
I have to go back.
631
00:41:20,883 --> 00:41:22,952
[Kwan]
To the UNSC? Why?
632
00:41:23,018 --> 00:41:24,954
They turned my planet over
to a warlord.
633
00:41:25,020 --> 00:41:26,655
They ordered you to kill me.
634
00:41:26,722 --> 00:41:28,657
Hey, John, look, we can figure
this shit out here.
635
00:41:28,724 --> 00:41:30,726
No, I need
the other Spartans.
636
00:41:30,793 --> 00:41:32,628
You need them,
not me.
637
00:41:32,695 --> 00:41:34,163
I don't expect you
to understand.
638
00:41:34,230 --> 00:41:37,032
Oh, I understand completely.
You need to get back to her.
639
00:41:37,099 --> 00:41:39,668
Yeah, you're running
back to Halsey.
640
00:41:39,735 --> 00:41:42,838
Any time there's a problem,
Mommy's there to fix it.
641
00:41:42,905 --> 00:41:46,008
You think she cares about you?
Huh? You're just a machine.
642
00:41:46,075 --> 00:41:48,077
And you're a coward who ran away
when things got hard.
643
00:41:48,143 --> 00:41:49,545
Oh, okay.
644
00:41:49,612 --> 00:41:50,746
You have no loyalty
to anything.
645
00:41:50,813 --> 00:41:52,114
You want to talk to me
about loyalty?
646
00:41:52,181 --> 00:41:54,650
You gave me
five goddamn minutes.
647
00:41:54,717 --> 00:41:57,052
You want to know
what that bought me?
648
00:41:57,119 --> 00:41:58,687
They shot me down.
I was burned all to hell,
649
00:41:58,754 --> 00:42:00,155
living off bark and beetles.
650
00:42:00,222 --> 00:42:03,859
They were on my ass for
months till I got free.
651
00:42:03,926 --> 00:42:06,061
All because you gave me
five minutes.
652
00:42:06,128 --> 00:42:08,030
You were wrong to run.
653
00:42:09,198 --> 00:42:10,900
You were wrong to stay!
654
00:42:10,966 --> 00:42:12,134
[Kwan]
Master Chief, wait!
655
00:42:13,802 --> 00:42:15,771
I've seen what Covenant
weapons are capable of.
656
00:42:15,838 --> 00:42:17,740
Entire planets
turned to glass.
657
00:42:17,806 --> 00:42:19,808
So if they're going after
something bigger,
658
00:42:19,875 --> 00:42:21,644
I have no choice.
659
00:42:23,812 --> 00:42:25,180
And I need you
to keep her here.
660
00:42:25,247 --> 00:42:26,882
-What?
-Soren...
661
00:42:26,949 --> 00:42:30,019
you're the only person
I know outside the UNSC.
662
00:42:30,085 --> 00:42:32,688
I need to trust you
right now.
663
00:42:32,755 --> 00:42:34,189
Can I trust you?
664
00:42:34,256 --> 00:42:36,892
-Of course you can trust--
-Then keep her safe.
665
00:42:40,095 --> 00:42:41,897
-John--
-Promise me.
666
00:42:44,266 --> 00:42:46,235
I give you my word.
667
00:42:47,703 --> 00:42:49,305
Wait, hold on.
668
00:42:49,371 --> 00:42:52,107
Don't I get a say in this?
669
00:42:52,174 --> 00:42:55,077
You can't just leave me here.
670
00:42:56,211 --> 00:42:57,746
I'm sorry, Kwan.
671
00:42:57,813 --> 00:42:59,315
This is the best I could do.
672
00:43:08,691 --> 00:43:10,225
So that's it?
673
00:43:38,687 --> 00:43:40,089
[door seals closed]
674
00:43:48,731 --> 00:43:50,132
[engine powering up]
675
00:43:56,138 --> 00:43:58,107
[beeping]
676
00:43:58,173 --> 00:44:00,309
[engine revs]
677
00:44:44,987 --> 00:44:46,121
[beeping]
678
00:44:49,324 --> 00:44:51,693
[Kai]
Fleetcom, this is Stalwart Dawn.
679
00:44:51,760 --> 00:44:53,896
One-One-Seven has activated
his beacon.
680
00:44:55,064 --> 00:44:57,132
Very well.
681
00:44:57,199 --> 00:44:58,300
Bring him in.
682
00:45:08,377 --> 00:45:10,879
[tech] Stalwart Dawn has entered
Reach airspace.
683
00:45:10,946 --> 00:45:14,016
Initiating ground transfer
of Master Chief and Silver Team.
684
00:45:47,983 --> 00:45:48,817
[Halsey]
Stop here.
685
00:45:54,890 --> 00:45:56,091
Handle it carefully.
686
00:46:13,342 --> 00:46:15,043
Put it in with me.
687
00:47:26,048 --> 00:47:27,049
Well?
688
00:47:29,985 --> 00:47:32,254
I've never seen
anything like it.
689
00:47:32,321 --> 00:47:34,089
Did you tell them that
the Covenant wants this too?
690
00:47:34,156 --> 00:47:35,591
That it might be
some kind of weapon?
691
00:47:35,657 --> 00:47:37,326
-Yes, I did.
-And?
692
00:47:37,392 --> 00:47:40,395
And if it points
to something greater,
693
00:47:40,462 --> 00:47:42,965
of course we'll explore
that possibility.
694
00:47:43,031 --> 00:47:47,302
But, John, your actions
have created a host of problems,
695
00:47:47,369 --> 00:47:49,338
not just for you, but for
the whole Spartan program
696
00:47:49,404 --> 00:47:51,573
and for me personally.
697
00:47:51,640 --> 00:47:53,208
[sighs]
698
00:47:53,275 --> 00:47:57,879
The people rely on you
to protect them,
699
00:47:57,946 --> 00:47:59,348
to make them feel safe.
700
00:47:59,414 --> 00:48:02,484
It is precisely
your dependability
701
00:48:02,551 --> 00:48:04,553
that gives people hope.
702
00:48:04,620 --> 00:48:09,191
How am I supposed to defend
your reckless behavior?
703
00:48:13,095 --> 00:48:14,596
I felt something.
704
00:48:18,500 --> 00:48:20,502
I believe you.
705
00:48:20,569 --> 00:48:22,304
I've been going
over and over in my head...
706
00:48:24,973 --> 00:48:26,308
all the details of the images
707
00:48:26,375 --> 00:48:27,943
that I see when
I touch the object.
708
00:48:28,010 --> 00:48:29,678
I don't know.
709
00:48:29,745 --> 00:48:31,913
I don't think that's a
constructive place for us to go.
710
00:48:31,980 --> 00:48:34,016
I think we should focus
on the lab results.
711
00:48:42,524 --> 00:48:46,595
What was it about the girl
that made you run?
712
00:48:51,199 --> 00:48:53,068
[Vinsher, over monitor]
Madrigal has a gift.
713
00:48:53,135 --> 00:48:55,671
It runs through our rivers,
in our lakes,
714
00:48:55,737 --> 00:48:57,372
and the ground
on which we live.
715
00:48:57,439 --> 00:49:02,010
And with our partners
in the UNSC,
716
00:49:02,077 --> 00:49:05,647
we will return to our place
717
00:49:05,714 --> 00:49:08,183
as the gem
of the outer colonies.
718
00:49:10,352 --> 00:49:12,721
[John]
I couldn't let her die.
719
00:49:12,788 --> 00:49:15,490
[Halsey] But you've seen
so many people die.
720
00:49:15,557 --> 00:49:18,360
Why was this situation
any different?
721
00:49:28,403 --> 00:49:30,305
[John] Well I don't think
the situation was different.
722
00:49:30,372 --> 00:49:31,506
I think...
723
00:49:32,607 --> 00:49:33,742
I am...
724
00:49:35,344 --> 00:49:36,478
different.
725
00:49:42,217 --> 00:49:45,153
I feel connected to something.
726
00:49:52,394 --> 00:49:56,198
I don't know what it is
or why it chose me.
727
00:50:00,535 --> 00:50:02,270
But I know it's out there.
728
00:50:07,743 --> 00:50:09,277
I can feel it.
729
00:50:12,214 --> 00:50:13,782
[Halsey]
Have you felt this way before?
730
00:50:19,788 --> 00:50:21,723
I don't usually feel anything.
731
00:50:26,528 --> 00:50:29,030
Then why did you come back?
732
00:50:41,510 --> 00:50:43,545
There's no one else
I could trust.
733
00:50:46,782 --> 00:50:48,417
Thank you.
734
00:50:51,553 --> 00:50:53,455
You made the right choice.
735
00:51:07,302 --> 00:51:09,471
I see this as a new beginning.
736
00:51:17,679 --> 00:51:19,448
[keypad beeps]
737
00:51:25,420 --> 00:51:29,391
[Halsey] We're going to
do great things together.
738
00:51:36,865 --> 00:51:40,602
