03 Halo Nightfall - Action Sci-Fi
2014 Eng Subs 720p [H264-mp4]

AMEN: Every day birthed anew.

Born a promise.

A million possibilities taking
shape under each new day's sun.

But what it the next time that sun rose,
there were no possibilities at ail?

Only death.

Yours, and of everything
you've ever known.

How would you act in that
darkness beforehand?

How would you go out?

We are simple things, soldiers.

We are taught honor.

Honor means sacrifice.
Sacrifice means death.

Either our own, or our enemy's.

In some ways, beneath it ail,

that's all a soldiers
really trained for.

To undo all of God's work.

To take life where
only God can give it.

Were it that we
were not soldiers

but gods.

HORRIGAN: I tell you, Locke...

Worst thing about peace
with the Covenant,

we're reduced to this.
Trailing small fish.

(SPEAKING ALIEN LANGUAGE)

Never know.

Chatter we've been getting off
this guy is he's up to something.

Something that would not
bode well for the UNSC.

Any bets on what he's carrying?

Drugs.

Exotic fauna?

HORRIGAN ON EARPIECE: You actually
just said that, didn't you?

Got to say something to
keep it interesting.

(SPEAKING ALIEN LANGUAGE)

That interesting
enough for you'?

Vector in.

What's a Covenant
dropship doing here?

Backwater like Sedra?

HORRIGAN: What the hell?

An Elite Zealot?

Been years since
I've seen a roach.

(BEEPS)

ESTRIN: (WHISPERING) Whatever he's
got, that stuffs black-hole cold.

- (BEEPS)
- Stasis refrigerant?

That's only used for one thing.

A bomb.

Not good. We're moving,
people. Split up.

Ramos, the little one.

COPY-

(GRUNTING)

I got him!

Gaines, it's Locke. Target
just handed off to a Zealot.

An Elite?

We think it's a bomb.

Where's he? Where'd he go?

He's headed for the city.

Vectoring to you now.

(WATER RUNNING)

He's broken into a
city access tunnel.

Might lose comm inside.

HORRIGAN: Roger that.

Horrigan, mark my last.

(FOOTSTEPS FADING)

(INDISTINCT CONVERSATIONS)

He ran from the fight. His
target must be the city.

GAINES: We got the
east side, Locke.

LOCKE: What's there? Talk to me.

Main market.

Maybe 500 Sedrans.

Damn it! We got to take him out.

HORRIGAN ON EARPIECE:
We got to zero on him.

He's been seen
entering the mall.

(GRUNTING)

(sum FIRING)

(PANTING)

It's over.

(BREATHING HEAVILY)

Give it to me.

(SPEAKING ALIEN LANGUAGE)

(ALL SCREAMING)

(WHIRRING)

(POWERING UP)

(GRUNTS)

(ALL SCREAMING)

That can't have been it.

What kind of device
was that? No damage?

It could've been a dud.

An Elite Zealot wouldn't come all
this way to make a mistake like that.

Why did they come all the
way out here at all?

We got to download Goodwin.

He's at the UN meeting.

I wouldn't rattle any cages till
we know what we're dealing with.

(GASPING)

HORRIGAN: What's
going on with her'?

I don't know.

She's been infected
by something...

(GAINES GASPING)

(GAINES GROANING)

LOCKE: Gaines.

(PEOPLE SCREAMING)

(ALARM BLARING)

MAN: Hold it.

- Secure the entrances.
- Yes, sir, Colonel Aiken.

- Keep breathing.
- You're gonna be all right, you hear me?

SOLDIER: Hold it.

ONI, we're clear.

Only Sedran passports
get entrance.

I've got wounded, Colonel.
We can talk politics later.

Go ahead.

Get him to Deacon Unit
with the rest of his team.

I don't want him spreading
this thing if it's contagious.

SOLDIER: Yes, sir, Colonel.

AIKEN: Like that, someone
can play God to you.

Someone you don'! Know.

Invisible, like a malevolent
forte beyond the firmament.

Taking from you our
only birthright...

Life.

(BEEPS)

ESTRIN: So what do
we do? We just wait?

Find out if it gets us?

Medical says they've never
seen anything like it.

But if we're not showing symptoms at
this point, we might be in the clear.

What the hell did they do to us?

(BREATHING HEAVILY)

Ramos.

Talk to me, medic.

What do you got?

They're coming in from further
and further from the blast site.

People eight, 10 kilometers
away are being affected.

Population of this ward

is 100% human.

It's not affecting
other species.

You're saying they got
their hands on a compound

that selectively kills
humans and nothing else?

RAMOS: It's not a compound.

An element. Closest they can
pin it is the 120 family.

But with a transmutation of some sort that
makes it something no one's ever seen.

This thing randomly compromises
human DNA, but not others.

Covenant's found their holy
grail, then, haven't they?

Way of wiping us out
without firing a shot.

When we're supposedly
not even at war.

Question is, why Sedra? Why
use this on an outer colony?

Why not hit population
centers like Gannick 22?

LOCKE: Test run, probably.

Porous borders. Mixed population. This
one works, they go for the big fish.

ESTRIN: Sedrans think
this is the mining tug

that was used to smuggle
in the element.

The pilots can't be found.

LOCKE: Check it out,
Estrin. ESTRIN: Yes, sir.

HORRIGAN: Hey, Locke...

Here comes our Sedran colonel.

What do you got?

Let you know when
the time's right.

I suggest we work together on this.
We both want the same thing.

ONI doesn't work
alongside anyone.

It's just you and
everyone else way below.

LOCKE: So, you know, I
don't write policy.

My two soldiers are up in
ICU because of that blast.

Soldiers I'm responsible for.

I'm asking you as
a fellow officer.

Show them back to
the base, Macer.

Sir.

AIKEN: You're gonna tell me...

- (THUDS)
- (BREATHING HEAVILY)

who flew that tug.

(GRUNTING)

You keep playing stupid,
you'll be dead inside an hour.

Colonel Aiken.

Mind if we step in, take a shot?

All I mind is you shutting
up and knowing your place.

(GRUNTS)

This is on you. You
know that, don't you?

They weren't after us,
they were after you. UNSC.

'Cause you were operating
here, on our tun'.

You take the good with the bad, and the
UNSC have done a lot of good for you.

You're here to expand
UNSC's power, nothing else,

without a clue about the
cultures you assimilate.

(SNARLING)

(SPEAKING ALIEN LANGUAGE)

LOCKE: He says he's
only a middleman.

Told to carry some things to a landing
site and not to ask any questions.

But he did anyhow.

He couldn't find out
what he was carrying,

but found out where
it came from.

He says ifs sourced from
a place no one will go.

He says it's sourced from hell.

A place so doomed even the
Elite Zealots won't go there.

So they buy from
someone who will.

If we work backward through
the tugs positioning,

you're never gonna
believe where we end up.

Intense red giant.

Half a dozen charred planets around it,
but that's not the interesting part.

Piece of the Halo Ring.

RAMOS: That's Alpha Halo.

ESTRIN: Exactly.

The weapon Master
Chief destroyed.

LOCKE: And now it's
come back to haunt us.

ESTRIN: The explosion and
the triggered slipspace

scatters the Ring debris
across the galaxy.

This one apparently ends up
in our red giant's orbit.

Be a major peace violation
if anyone went there.

Treaty says no one goes back to
the Ring. Not UNSC, not Covenant.

You think this is where
they're sourcing the element?

Problem is' there's no record of an
element like that on the Halo Ring.

MACER: Before the explosion.

After, it could be
a different story.

You got a point,
private, get to it.

Macer. Private first class, sir.

And the point's easy.

For all we know, what blew up the Halo
Ring was a supernova-level event.

Right push and pull of fission and
fusion and new elements are formed.

Like our mystery element.

Let me guess, you
majored in Physics?

Regional Nav.

Physics I just leafed
through when I was bored.

Display object's composition.

- Element range 120 to 130.
- (BEEPING)

Cross-reference other planets,
celestial bodies with this element.

Expand search.

Galaxies, known universe.

Looks like we got a one-off.

An element fatal to humans.

Native to this little piece of
Halo Ring and nowhere else.

Ninety-six square kilometers.
We could nuke it.

Launch it from a destroyer.

Hold up on that.

What do you got, Estrin?

Another inbound.

Tug. Just like this one.

Looks like someone's going
back to no man's land.

LOCKE: We don't have a
lot of time, Admiral.

GOODWIN: Be a bold move, Locke.

Send a team in, destroy the deposits, nab
whoever it is that's mining the stuff

And find out who
they're selling it to.

We know who they
are selling it m.

Just need proof Hard proof the
Covenant's broken the treaty.

Then give me the okay.

We're the only ones in the region
who can do anything about it.

Sir, if I may.

Well, ifs just, I think
there's more you should know.

Because of its orbit,
this piece of the Ring

has got rotation just
like any other planet.

But the spin's fast. Full
day-night cycle's only 16 hours.

And?

Well, because of proximity to that star,
daytime temperatures reach 900 degrees.

HORRIGAN: They're working
the night shift.

Harvesting the element, and they're
long gone before the sun comes up.

Cools to about 130 degrees or so
at night because of the mass.

Got to hand it to
them-They do have balls.

We still have enough time to
get there before they're done.

We destroy the deposits
with the Havok,

grab our smugglers, be
off-planet within hours.

Havok's a big ask.

These are big
circumstances, sir.

Look, you wanna do this tonight,

your only option is the Sedrans.

Where's Aiken?

Well, he's not to
be accessed, sir.

He's not to be accessed, sir.

(FLAT LINING)

I hear you need a ship.

(MAN SPEAKING
INDISTINCTLY OVER PA)

All these years, heard
about the Halo Ring.

Never thought we'd
actually step foot on it.

Won't be the Halo Ring of
yore, that's for sure.

They're hooking us
up with a Condor.

LOCKE: Good enough.

ESTRIN: Looks like there
are strings attached.

MACER: Sir'?

- Oxygen packs.
- Yes, sir.

We weren't planning on
co-opting this thing.

You underestimate
Sedrans, Commander.

We get punched in the mouth, we don't
just outsource our fight to other people.

We work better alone.

You're lucky ONI is even coming
in an advisory capacity.

We're the ones gonna be doing
all the heavy lifting.

We'll see about that.

Lift-off's in 10.

We can't do this.

These people are two
centuries behind us.

They still believe in Valhalla.

LOCKE: I don't think we
have a choice, Horrigan.

(POWERING UP)

Ready to go to hell, Colonel?

- Daddy?
- I heard you're gonna come home.

I made a picture of
us at the beach.

BOY: Bye, Daddy.
GIRL: I miss you!

Ever seen a Havok nuke before?

Only virtually.

How 'bout battle? Seen that?

Thing you don't
understand about Sedrans.

We've lived in a state of perpetual
war, surrounded by enemies.

We were born fighting.

That may be.

But make a mistake with that,

you won't even have time to
know you made a mistake.

No one in 100 kilometers will.

Which is why only we touch it.

This is our mission.

I don't wanna hear that again, Lieutenant.
This is a Sedran operation...

Well, we'll be the
ones setting the nuke.

And probably nabbing the
smugglers, as advisers.

You want to put a muzzle on your
subordinate, Commander Locke?

He's officially muzzled.

He said what he had to say.

Well, once we're boots down, we'll
have roughly eight hours before sunup.

Anybody who's on the
surface at that point

is dead.

Atmosphere's still breathable,

but at only 20% oxygen of
what the Ring used to have.

This is gonna slow us down.

Which means oxygen systems
and scrubbers for everyone.

And lastly, I don't wanna hear any
more proper nouns until we exfil.

No more Sedrans, no ONI.

Just a team of soldiers.

And as commanding officer of this mission,
that team goes through me, clear?

Clear from this end.

We come up against
it, so you know,

only guy I listen to is you.

Your friend's wrong
about us. We can fight.

Not tonight you won't.

Colonel's right about you,
if you don't mind me saying.

ONI.

Think you're better
than everyone else.

I mean, not that you're
not, it's just...

Well, the only difference between
you and any of us is the training.

So you think if you went through ONI
training, you'd be just as good?

Maybe even better.

That your aspiration? To be ONI?

(INDISTINCT CONVERSATIONS)

Perhaps you'd rather
be a Spartan.

She should be neither.

You know, he used
10 be a Spartan.

A decade ago maybe.

Named Randall-037.

One day, he up and walks away.

And no one walks away
from the Spartan program.

It's not supposed
to be possible.

They have too much
invested in you.

Fast forward 10 years and suddenly
I'm looking at your colonel.

Scars like they took a bunch
of titanium out of his body.

Except his name is not
Randall, it's Aiken.

How's that come to pass?

You're ONI. You tell me.

Come on, Macer.

I know better than to trust you.

We wouldn't be doing our
job if people trusted us.

AIKEN: Commander.

MACER: Colonel, we've located
the position of the mining tug.

AIKEN: Condor will drop us two
clicks short of the target,

and we'll proceed on foot.

Make sure we preserve surprise.

As for the Havok,

unless you disagree, Commander,

I suggest it stays here
till we have our quarry.

We can light it
up at that point,

make sure we're well out to
space by the time it detonates.

But not so far that
we can't see it.

Something awful mesmerizing about
seeing a Havok go up in real time.

A fireworks show
like none other.

Amen to that.

On our signal, come to us.

(ALARM BEEPING)

HORRIGAN: Last chance, Colonel.
We can do this on our own.

AIKEN: We do this as a team.

Have it your way.
Try to keep up.

Now drop the lines!

BEST: Ropes away. Drop in five.

RAMOS: Something about
this place freaks me out.

Whole thing's fried.

Used to be rivers, forests.

Everything living
in those forests.

LOCKE: If it was
living, it's dead now.

RAMOS: The Forerunners built
it 100,000 years ago,

and we still don't
totally understand it.

Even busted up like it is.

(ELECTRONIC BEEPING)

LOCKE: Not getting any movement.

Best, Wisner, stay 360 on this.

I don't want anybody
flanking us.

WISNER AND BEST: Yes, sir.

Got any thoughts on
this one, Colonel?

Almost say they ditched,
but engine's still warm.

ESTRIN: Still functional. I wonder
why they deployed the chute.

RAMOS: It's pretty cramped
for a two-seater.

LOCKE: Question is
where our two are.

HORRIGAN: Got something, Locke.

AIKEN: Cargo unit.

Looks like it got pretty
busted up on entry.

HORRIGAN: Jettisoned
before landing.

LOCKE: Guess they weren't
planning on bringing it back.

HORRIGAN: Horse tracks.

RAMOS: Who the hell
brings horses?

LOCKE: Couldn't land the
tug near the deposits.

Might've been the
fastest way out.

ESTRIN: Fastest way
1,000 years ago.

AIKEN: Got a cave, Macer. Can
you image through this soil?

No, sir. Too thick.

Roger that. Stay
high and wide of us.

I don't want your engine
noise, but I want your eyes.

CONDOR PILOT: Roger that, sir.

Get ready.

(CREATURES SCREECHING)

ESTRIN: Humidity
level is rising.

(WATER PATTERING)

LOCKE: Got 'em. Twelve o'clock.

M-53 non-lethal rounds. I want
them incapacitated, not dead.

(DEVICE WHIRRING)

(HORSE SNORTING)

(NEIGHING)

We've got your ship.
There's no way out.

Stand up!

HAISAL: Put down your weapons!

These guys are something else.

Put down your weapons,
I'm telling you!

(WHINNYING)

(EXHALES)

What's wrong with those horses?

They can smell something.

LOCKE: They're moving.

Son of a bitch.

LOCKE: Horrigan. Estrin.

MACER: Colonel, I've got
'em. Running east of you.

- (DEVICE BUZZES)
- (GRUNTS)

(BOTH GRUNTING)

Let's make this easy, huh?

You have no idea
what you're doing!

HORRIGAN: Shut up and save
the bull for the ride out.

(MUFFLED SCREAMS)

HORRIGAN: Not bad for
advisers, huh, Colonel?

(CHUCKLES)

ESTRIN: Nice.

- Bring it, Macer, we have our quarry.
- MACER: Roger that.

Privates, get the containers.

YES, sir!

(ALARM SOUNDING)

(WHINNYING)

Whoa there, boy. Whoa!

(CREATURES SCREECHING)

Pull up, sir! Pull up!

Hell is going on, Macer?

MACER: I don't
know. But pull up!

AIKEN: Talk to me, Condor.
What the hell is going on?

(MACER SCREAMS)

CONDOR PILOT: Somethings on me,
sir. I'm losing control of her.

The propulsion's gone...
Blown up the engines.

(GRUNTING)

(SCREAMING)

Macer.

(GROANS)

Get down!

RAMOS: It's gonna hit us!

(ALL SHOUTING INDISTINCTLY)

(BREATHING HEAVILY)

(CREATURES SCREECHING)

(HORSES NEIGHING)

AIKEN: Fall back! Take cover!

(BEST SCREAMING)

LOCKE: Stand down!
Hold your fire!

We're cloaking!

(CREATURES SCREECHING)

What the hell are they?

RAMOS: The only thing
that matters right now

is we're cloaked, and
they can't see us.

I'm not so sure about that.

AIKEN: Fall back!

Fall back! Fall back!

We were cloaked.
How did they know?

(GRUNTS)

It's your technology!

It's like a magnet to them.

They sense it!

Once they on you, they can
even sense your movements.

Power down.

HORRIGAN: What?

AIKEN; Do it.

(SCREECHING)

ESTRIN: Can someone tell
me what those things are?

MACER: I don't know, but that's swarm
intelligence they're displaying.

Form assumption...

They're Hunter Worms.

Something like them anyhow.

How they can sense where we are, though,
that's not usually in their repertoire

Their organs,

they can detect the very
changes in the air.

Magnetic disturbances, radio waves,
EMPs. Everything that you carry.

You call them Hunter Worms,
we call them Lekgolo.

We've learned not to bring
technology to this place.

They don't respond 10 it well.

These people don't know
how to react, brother.

So reliant on their technology,

they wouldn't even know what
to do without it, would they?

Maybe that'll be the
thing that kills you.

My ankle is broken.

(THUNDER RUMBLING)

We got a problem.

None of these units have
an ex-orbital comm.

And with that Condor down at
the bottom of the canyon,

we've got no way of calling
for an extraction.

As of this moment, none of us
are getting off this stone.

And in five hours and change,
that sun is coming up,

we're all gonna be dust.

That's not true.

There's still the tug.

It's a two-seater.

And there are nine of us.

You're sure there's no
way to get comm out?

Only ex-orbital would
be on that Condor.

And even if we were able
to get a signal out,

three hours would be nowhere near
enough to get a rescue ship here.

This is it then.

This rock. Us.

And what we can do about it.

Some of us aren't going
to survive the night.

That's a given.

Doesn't mean we can't get the
mission done beforehand, though.

That Havok survived the fall.

They're built to
withstand far worse.

We got them.

Now we go down to the Condor,

get that nuke and we
destroy the deposits.

Make sure what happened back there
on Sedra never happens again.

Two hours down, two
hours to the tug.

And when we get to the tug?

How do we decide who takes it?

Lifeboat rules.

I remember my childhood on
the north coast of England.

People used to tell stories
of the Royal Navy.

Second millennium. Shipwrecked sailors,
stuck out in sea in lifeboats.

The rule was, you
stick together.

No fighting over food, water.

It was only at the end, when
there's no other choice,

they had to make the hard decisions
of who'd live and who'd die.

Doing so beforehand would
undermine the very collaboration

that was required to keep them alive long
enough to be rescued in the first place.

How'd they make the
hard decisions?

They drew straws.

I hope to hell it didn't
fall the whole way down.

LOCKE: Only one way to find out.

Suggest your men dump the armor.

Without the hydraulics of the
air-con, it's just dead weight.

Slow you down. Cook
you in the process.

LOCKE: Agreed, we'll
just keep the oxygen.

We can go without
it for a while,

but we'll deficit pretty
quickly in this atmosphere.

Sooner or later all of us are gonna have
to power up the last three air units.

(AIR UNITS POWERING UP)

As of this moment,
we're 100% analog.

Show our friend here there's more
to a soldier than just his armor.

RAMOS: Are we
really doing this'?

Going down when our
only way out is up?

If anyone can pull a rabbit
out of his hat, it's Locke.

HORRIGAN: Guy's out of his mind.
We're not drawing straws.

LOCKE: You got a better way?

We should probably put the
screws on these guys.

Get the intel we
need, then dump 'em.

Because we're going
nowhere with that one.

We cut 'em loose, they know this land.
They'll be to the tug before we know it.

Then maybe that only
leaves putting 'em down.

I'll remind you, Lieutenant, I'm the
one making the decisions around here.

We're not making any
decisions like that.

Well, I got news for you.

All due respect to Wisner and
the glorified bus driver there,

but your team is dead
and you got no ship.

You're just one of
the rest of us now.

Horrigan.

YES, sir.

Spoke out of turn.

No, Lieutenant.

Seems to me like you've still got
something to say. Say it. Enlighten us.

You said it before.

We're all just a
bunch of soldiers.

And as soldiers, we realize
that soldiering ain't pretty.

Now, if it's really all about
the mission like you say it is,

then we need to think
about the mission.

And we can't get it done
lugging them around.

You could put us both down.

But I'm curious to see who
you think will fly the ship.

Nobody's putting anybody down.

We don't panic like that.

It's not an option.

AIKEN: Silence.

They say it's a
soldiers greatest aw.

Grants him the
element of surprise.

Lays bare all of his
enemy's movement.

But I learned long
ago that was a lie.

Because silence allows
a soldier to think.

Gives him time to be scared.

And a scared soldier
starts making choices.

Choices to make
the fear go away.

Choices that ruin everything.

How much deeper?

Why should I help you?

Because we're the
ones with the guns.

(SCOFFS)

You've never heard of
my planet, have you?

Nana.

A 100-year drought has
killed half the population.

Made us desperate for food.

So desperate they'd send their sons
and fathers to a hell-world like this

to make money.

You destroy those deposits,

you destroy one of the only
sources of income my people have.

You got no problem trafficking in
the blood of others, I take it.

Funny coming from ONI.

I'll tell you what.

No politics. Not tonight.

Just a bunch of people with
a common goal of surviving.

We are gonna find that craft.

We are gonna detonate that
nuke, if it's still viable,

and we are gonna destroy
those deposits.

You are powerless to stop that.

But you can facilitate
getting it done faster,

giving at least some of us a chance
of getting out of here alive.

Maybe even you.

I'll not make it out
of here tonight.

Your friend here
will see to that.

I give you my word.

You help us find that craft,

you'll get a fair
draw at those straws.

Don't act like you're
not a gambler.

The fact that you come to this
place, under these circumstances,

tells me you're exactly that.

There are the switchbacks.

Down there to the left.

That's a dangerous
game you're playing.

Impossible.

MACER: Plants, water.
What the hell is this?

Must not be carbon-based life.

RAMOS: Could be a
million things.

Halo Ring? I don't put
anything past it.

We're losing momentum.

We need to oxygenate, or
people start dropping.

We don't need your air.

We wouldn't come to a place whose very
atmosphere tells us we're unwelcome...

ARRIS: Haisal, enough.

All right, gonna fire up all three
air systems simultaneously.

Everyone saturates, we shut 'em
down as quickly as possible.

You're telling the
world where you are.

Thirty seconds. We move
as soon as we're done.

(DEVICES BEEP)

- (STRAINING)
- (CONTINUES SCREAMING)

(SCREAMING LOUDER)

Ramos! Ramos. Go. Go!

(SNARLING)

Find cover!

(GRUNTS)

Someone's got 10 help him!

Stay on mission, Macer.

(HUNTER WORMS HISSING)

AIKEN: Maser!

(HUNTER WORMS SNARLING)

(WHISPERING) Go! Go!

(BEEPS)

(HUNTER WORMS SCREECHING)

(BOTH STRAINING)

LOCKE: Go, go, go.

(MUTTERING) Oh, my God.
I'm gonna kill them.

I'm gonna kill them
with the Halo Ring.

RAMOS: Just don't let go.

(BREATHING HEAVILY)

(HUNTER WORMS SNARLING)

(BREATHING HEAVILY)

(GROANING)

RAMOS: Thank you.

Thank you, by the way.

Turns out the glorified bus driver
can do something after all.

HORRIGAN: Yeah, and if you
could turn back the clock,

she'd be the whole package.

I'm guessing two hours 40
till sunup. We gotta move.

I'm thinking maybe we're clear.
Clear as we're gonna be.

(HUNTER WORMS SNARLING)

What the hell?

Oh, my God.

It's Wisner.

It's not her.

No.

- They can mimic the shape.
- RAMOS: No.

LOCKE: But they can't
make the muscle movement.

They're baiting us.

We gotta get out of this
hole. We don't have time.

Yeah, they're too close, and
we're going nowhere with him.

HAISAL: Then why don't
you leave me here?

I'm tired of listening to you.

Besides, you run for
it, they'll hear.

And maybe I can watch
them tear you apart.

No way we'll make it.

We're not fast enough.

HORRIGAN: Ramos is right.

We're not fast enough.

(GRUNTING)

(YELLING) Haisal!

(SCREECHING)

(SCREAMING)

God damn it, go! Go!

Dog! Goddamn dog!

(GRUNTS)

You don't choose!
You don't do that!

You don't play God!
That's not your right!

Look around. You
see God anywhere?

Tonight, we are God.

AIKEN: He was right,
though we didn't know it.

In that moment, on that rock,

with the Devil on our heels,

we were gods.

Gods of the damned.

I'm gonna keep him in
line. I promise you that.

Well, I'm sure that's your plan.

Not sure it's possible now
the center's falling apart.

We work together, it won't.

ONI looks out for ONI. You
know it and I know it.

I thought you said no
proper nouns tonight.

People get scared, they get tribal.
Trust their own before the other.

We're the other tonight.
Don't pretend we're not.

Sounds like a man drawing lines.

Justifying a reason
to turn on us.

Shouldn't fear me.

I'm just one man, with a
glorified bus driver as backup.

One man that was a Spartan.

You're playing
scared, Commander.

See, I already died. That's the
difference between you and me.

Gave my life away when I was
signed up to be a soldier.

It's a matter of what we
give it away for now.

The noble soldier. I forgot.

We die here, we go
lo Valhalla, right?

They don't allow
ONI into Valhalla.

I'll tell you what.

You got a death wish with what
happened to you, that's fine.

But I still got some fight.

Not going gently into
this night, not yet.

Not to the Hunter Worms, not
to you, not to the sun.

But you'd have it that
they'd go first then?

No, never. That's my team.

I love them.

'Cause that's what it's gonna take for you
to survive, you know that, don't you?

It's you or them.

You love them, you love them at
all, it's not even a choice.

AIKEN: We got pan of it.

We're close.

Let's spread out. Try
to find a way down.

I hate that had
to happen to him.

Got us out here though.

Gave us a chance to
live. You and me.

You do know, they've been
looking around this whole time.

Choosing.

We all have.

Choosing what?

The other one that will live.

Besides themselves.

'Cause you know that even/ones
got themselves penciled in

for one of those seats.

I looked around and I chose you.

- Don't do this.
- We don't have time.

It's time to choose.

Part of soldiering, part of being
ONI is living to fight another day.

We don't make a dent in the
Covenant if we're dead.

And them?

We've lost soldiers before.

But we didn't abandon them.

Just tell me when we draw those
straws you'll have my back.

That you'll get
me off this rock.

Straws'll decide.

For everyone.

Even me.

That's not good enough. I
need to know where you stand.

I save you, I kill them.

That's not a choice
I wanna make.

(SCOFFS)

Then people are gonna
start to make choices.

You realize that, don't you?

Come on, man, help me out here.

When are you gonna
come back, Daddy?

I heard you're gonna come home.

I made a picture...

ESTRIN: The hell you
doing? Turn that off.

You touch 'em and
I will kill you.

Turn it off.

Ramos, I'm gonna
tell you this once.

Your kids are beautiful, but tonight,
they're gonna get us killed.

(CLATTERS)

Now let's find us a way down.

(EXHALING)

Thought we were already in
the ninth circle of hell,

but looks like there's
a bonus level.

(HUNTER WORMS SNARLING)

(GROANS)

RAMOS: Not one of
'em's got kids.

They die out here,
it's just them dying.

Me, I go,

kids'll have nothing.
No one there...

ESTRIN: Shut up.
Stay on mission.

It's always the
mission' isn't it?

Draw straws like a good soldier.

You can bet straws isn't
gonna decide anything.

A gun will.

If you and I decide it'll be
about guns, it'll be about guns.

Me and you?

Which one of us is
gonna fly the tug?

You need a pilot in
one of those seats.

The girl maybe.

The heat kills
her, the smuggler.

That only leaves one other seat.

We take out the rest, and
you and I, we draw straws.

Makes it a 50-50 chance
instead of one in seven.

No, you are out of your mind.

RAMOS: I'm the only one
seeing things straight.

You're wrong.

Shut up! Don't go
talking to them.

I told you things.
I trusted you.

- (GRUNTING)
- (SNARLING CONTINUES)

Help me. Ramos, help me up.

Come on, man, let me up.

Come on, man, let me up!

(SCREAMING)

- (HUNTER WORMS SCREECHING)
- (SCREAMING)

It's those kids. You
understand, right?

(SOFTLY) What's going on?

Talk to me!

He fell.

He, uh...

He fell.

It's over. Forget it.

Important thing is you
still have that gun.

We're close. It bottoms
out not so far from here.

We better top up up here.

We do it down there,
they end up coming,

we're trapped.

Same thing last time. Saturate
as quickly as possible.

Not gonna happen, friend.

We don't have time for this.

We don't got enough
to share anymore.

If we're gonna get back to that
tug, we need air. All of it.

That's not for you to decide.

I told you choices were
gonna start being made.

No straws.

This mission is over. We are
now going back to the tug.

You wanna kill me, go
ahead. But she gets oxygen.

HORRIGAN: Don't move!

Stop this, God damn it!

I will power up and gun
you down, I swear to God!

Put it down.

We will not do this! We
will not go out like this!

You draw on me?

I chose you.

I chose you.

Drop it.

Swear to God, drop
it. Or I'll...

Or you'll what?

(INHALES DEEPLY)

We can power up if you
want and shoot it out.

But you'll lose.

Power up, and you
kill all of us.

Including yourselves.

You never know.

I could power up,

put a couple rounds in you,

power down.

Maybe the Hunters
are none the wiser.

You'd take that chance?

Everything's chances now.

You got one more second, Locke.

RAMOS: Come on, man.

Doesn't have to be like this.

As we planned.

(GRUNTING)

I tried to save you.

I'm not the one
who needs saving.

Said the dead man.

Anyone who wants to go
after them, they can.

You know where I stand.

Wouldn't make it 200 yards.

Might be all you
have to make, Macer.

(ALL PANTING)

(PANTING)

Hurry up!

(ARRIS GRUNTING)

He'll turn on you, huh?

RAMOS: Shut up.

The least essential
one always dies.

Me, he needs to fly the
ship. You, what's he need'?

You're telling me this why?

Because I trust you
more than him.

Havoks are supposed to be bulletproof.
Let's see if that was just advertising.

(PANTING)

MACER: Sir, looks like some of the
propulsion might still be functional.

Condor won't get
us off the Ring,

but if we could disengage it,
get the thrusters working,

we could still make the tug.

(GRUNTING)

(RAMOS GRUNTS)

(HORRIGAN GRUNTING)

HORRIGAN: (PANTING) What?

He's right.

You don't need me.

He's got a point.

He has no point.

Tug like that has an autopilot.

Then why are we
keeping him around?

'Cause it also has a
biometric ignition.

That's the card he's been
playing the whole time.

We need his fingerprint
to start the thing.

But that's all we need.
His fingerprint.

Come on.

(GRUNTS)

We got about a half hour left.

So all we gotta do is set
this thing, get away clear,

let it detonate while
the tug is in orbit.

MACER: We have problems.

I spoke too soon.

Propulsion's still functional, but
the fuel cells are shattered.

Not getting anywhere
without fuel.

Might still be away.

This thing has a standard
backup power cell.

We use this for
the ship instead,

it might be just enough to get us
out of this canyon and to that tug.

Get this cell into the system.

- Test it, make sure it's still working.
- Yes, Sir.

We can't leave the
deposits intact.

We came all this way.

And at least one of us isn't
getting off this rock anyhow.

I think the only thing we can do is get
two of us up and out towards that tug,

whilst the other remains behind.

Detonates the Havok by hand.

(ARRIS PANTING)

(RAMOS WHEEZING)

I got to top UP-

We don't have time for this!

HORRIGAN: Saturate, quick.

- (PANTING)
- (BEEPS)

(INHALING)

I'm getting nothing.

(GRUNTING)

(GRUNTING)

(MACHINE WHIRRING)

It's a go.

But I suggest we get going ASAP.
Not sure how long it's gonna hold.

- AIKEN: Save it till we're ready.
- (POWERING DOWN)

Go with her. You don't
have much time.

Like hell you get to
make that decision.

Three of us aren't making it out
of here. We already know that.

Let's make the choice now.

Walk, God damn it!

I called this
mission. It's on me.

Never did draw on
those straws, did we?

(BEAD CLATTERS)

(BEADS CLATTERING)

I'll choose two.

One red, one white.

Three.

You're too young.

Soldier's a soldier.

Three.

Just so you know,
Private, no do-overs.

You wanna be a soldier, and you
pick red, I will walk on you.

Let the beads decide.

(BEADS CLATTER)

Red one stays behind.

(EXHALES)

As it should be.

Go.

I could draw on
you, if you want.

Get her going, Macer.

See you in Valhalla.

They don't let ONI
into Valhalla.

You, they might.

(POWERING UP)

There they are!

(SCREECHING)

(DEVICE BEEPING)

What the hell?

(YELLS)

(HUNTER WORMS CHIRPING)

(ENGINE STALLING)

We got problems.

LOCKE: Steady, Macer.

(HUNTER WORMS CHITTERING)

(SCREAMING)

(GRUNTS) Came on!

You'll never catch 'em
if you're dragging me.

(PANTING)

(BOTH PANTING)

Don't do it!

(ENGINES WHIRRING)

(SCREECHING)

Don't do it!

Don't do it!

- (GUN SHOTS)
- (GRUNTS)

(PANTING)

(GRUNTS)

No! No! No!

(SCREAMING)

No.

(SCREAMING)

(GRUNTING)

(YELLING)

(SCREECHING)

(RUMBLING)

(ELECTRONIC BEEPING)

(TIMER BEEPING)

(WORMS SCREECHING)

- (MACER WHIMPERS)
- (BOTH GRUNTING)

Now! Come on!

LOCKE: I need your
help here, bus driver.

Auto-pilot hardware's
same as most.

- (POWERING UP)
- We're going. We're going!

(BEEPING)

AIKEN: Death will
come to all of us.

Especially soldiers.

It will come,
inevitable as the sun.

It is only to be feared if you fear
what's on the other side of it.

If you see darkness in your
sou! Rather than light.

In a way,

I suppose soldiers are gods.

You give your life away so
others will live in peace.

Even if it's only fleeting.

The ones that live carry
part of you with them.

Your deeds become
seeds for theirs.

The sacrifice carries forward.

And in their final
moments as a soldier,

you know they will have 10 answer
the same question you did in yours.

With your life would
you only create death,

or with your death
would you create life?

That is my question to
you, Commander Locke.

How will you die?

And for what?
