AIKEN: Every day birthed anew.

Born a promise.

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

But what if the next time that sun rose

there were no possibilities at all?

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 all,

that's all a soldier's 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.

I'll tell you, Locke.

Worst thing about being
at 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?

Gotta 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.

ESTRIN: Whatever he's got,
that's just black-hole cold.

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 is he? Where'd he go?

He's heading 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]

He ran from the fight.

His target must be the city.

We've got the east side, Locke.

What's there? Talk to me.

Main market.

Maybe 500 Sedrans.

Damn it, we gotta take him out.

We gotta zero in on him.

He's been seen entering the mall.

[Gun firing]

[Panting]

It's over.

[Breathing heavily]

Give it to me.

[Whirring]

[People screaming]

That can't have been it.

What kind of device was that?
No damage?

It could have 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 gotta tell Admiral Goodwin.

He's at the UN meeting.

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

[Gasping]

What's going on with her?

I don't know.

She's been affected by something...

[Gaines groaning]

Gaines...

[Alarm blaring]

Keep breathing.

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

Keep breathing.

You're gonna be alright,
you hear me?

Hold it.

ONI, we're clear.

Only Sedran passports
get entrance.

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

Go ahead.

Get 'em to decon unit
with the rest of his team.

I don't want 'em spreading
this thing if contagious.

Yes sir, Colonel.

AIKEN: Like that someone can
play God to you.

Someone you don't know.

Invisible, like a malevolent force
beyond the firmament.

Taking from you
our only birthright.

Life.

So what do we do? 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?

Ramos.

Talk to me, medic.

What do you got?

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

People eight, ten 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?

Test run, probably.

Porous borders.
Mixed population.

This one works, they go
for the big fish.

Sedrans think this is the mining tug
that was used to smuggle in the element.

The pirates can't be found.

Check that out, Estrin.

Yes sir.

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.

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.

You're gonna tell me
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 turf.

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]

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 it's sourced from
a place no one will go.

He says it's sourced from hell.

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

So they but it
from someone who will.

If we work backward
through the tug's 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.

It's the Halo ring.

That's Alpha Halo.

Exactly.

The one the Master Chief destroyed.

And now it's come back to haunt us.

The explosion
and the triggered slipspace

scatters the ring to break
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 a 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.

R-regional Nav.

Physics I just leafed through
when I was bored.

Display object's composition.

Element range: 120 to 130.

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.

96 square kilometers.
We can 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.

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

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're selling it to.

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, it's 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.

Gotta admit 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!

I hear you need a ship.

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's
strings attached.

Sir?

Oxygen packs.

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 going to 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.

- Bye, Daddy!
- 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.

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

And probably nabbing the smugglers

as advisors.

You wanna 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 anymore
proper nous 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?

Perhaps you'd rather be a Spartan.

She should be neither.

You know, he used to 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 klicks short of the target,

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 of 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 landed.

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 have been the fastest way out.

ESTRIN: Fastest way 1000 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.

M53 non-lethal rounds.
I want them incapacitated, not dead.

[Device whirring]

[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]

What's wrong with those horses?

They can smell something.

LOCKE: They're moving.

Son of a bitch.

Horrigan, Estrin.

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

[Grunts]

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
advisors, huh, Colonel?

[Chuckles]

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's going on, Macer?

I don't know, but pull up!

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

[Macer screams]

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

The propulsion's gone.
Blown up the engines.

[Screaming]

Macer.

[Groans]

Get down!

RAMOS: It's gonna hit us!

[Creatures screeching]

[Gunfire]

[Horse 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?

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.

What?

AIKEN: Do it.

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.

But 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 to it well.

The-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.

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 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?

Probably,
put the screws on these guys.

Get the intel we need, then dump 'em.

'Cause we're going nowhere with that one.

We cut 'em lose, 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 soldier's greatest ally.

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.

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

Aleria.

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 there
will see to that.

I give you my word.

You help us find that craft,

You 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.

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.

Alright, gonna fire up all three
air systems simultaneously.

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

You're telling the
worms where you are.

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

[Air rushing]

[Breathing deeply]

[Hunter worms snarling]

Power down.

Let's go.

Let's move.

[Hunter worms snarling]

[Haisal grunts]

Shit!

The oxygen pack.

Got it?

I got it.

LOCKE: We're down two.

Wisner?

[Screaming]

Ramos, Ramos! Go, go!

[Hunter worms snarling]

Find cover!

[Grunts]

Someone's gotta help him!

Stay on mission, Macer!

Macer!

[Hunter worms snarling]

[Whispering] Go, go!

[Beeps]

[Hunter worms screeching]

LOCKE: Go, go, go!

Oh my God, I'm gonna kill them.

I'm gonna kill them
with the Halo ring.

Thank you.

Thank you, by the way.

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

Yeah, if you could turn back the clock,
she'd be the whole package.

My guess in two hours
is forty till sunup.

We gotta move.

I think maybe we're clear.

Clear as we're gonna be.

What the hell?

Oh my God.

It's Wisner.

It's not her.

No.

- They can mimic the shape.
- No.

But they can't make
the muscle movement.

They're baiting us.

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

They're too close,
we're going nowhere with him.

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.

Ramos is right.

We're not fast enough.

[Worms screeching]

[Grunts]

Haisal!

[Worms screeching]

[Screaming]

Goddamn, 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, but we didn't know it.

In that moment,

on that rock,

with the devil on our heels,

we were gods.

Gods of the damned.

We'll keep him in line.

Promise you that.

I'm sure that's your plan, not that is
possible now, since we're 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.

Just to find a reason to turn on us.

Shouldn't fear me.

I'm just one man.

And the 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
I will give it away for now.

The noble soldier.
I forgot.

We die here, we go to 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.

You'd have it that
they'd go first then.

No, never.

That's my team.

I love them.

'Cause that's what is
gonna take for you to survive.

You know that, don't you?

It's you, or them.

You love them?
You love them and all?

It's not even a choice.

AIKEN: We got part of it.

We're close.

Let's spread out and try
to find a way down.

I hate that had to happen to him.

Carried us here though.

Giving us 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 who will live.

Besides themselves.

'Cause you know that everyone's got
themselves pencilled 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 the 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 have my
back, that you'll get me off this rock.

Straws will 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.

Then people are gonna
start to make choices.

You realize that, don't you?

ESTRIN: Come on, man. Help me out here.

When are you coming back, daddy?

I heard you're gonna come home.

I made a picture of...

The hell are you doing?
Turn that off!

You touch them, I'll 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.

Now let's find us a way down.

Thought we were already
in the ninth circle of hell.

Looks like there's a bonus level.

- No one of them has got kids.
- Shh!

They die out here,

just them died.

Me, I go,

kids will have nothing.

- No one there...
- Shut up!

Stay on mission.

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

Draw straws like a good soldier.

You could bet straws
isn't gonna decide anything.

A gun will.

You and I decide
it'll be by guns,

it'll be by guns.

Me and you?

Which one of us
is gonna fly the tug?

We 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.

Leaves a fifty-fifty change
instead of one in seven.

You're out of your mind.

I'm the only one seeing things straight.

You're wrong.

Shut up! Don't go talk to them.

And I told you the things.

And I trusted you.

Help me!

Ramos, help me up!

Come on, man, help me up!

Come on, lift me up.

[Worms screeching]

[Screaming]

[Worms screeching]

Still kids. You understand, right?

What's going on?

Talk to me!

He fell.

He huh...

He fell.

It's over, forget it.

The important thing is

you still have that gun.

We're close.

The bottoms are not so far from here.

We better top up up here.

We do it down there
and they come,

we're trapped.

Same as last time.

Saturate as quickly as possible.

Not gonna happen, friend.

- We don't have time for this.
- We don't have enough to share anymore.

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

All of it.

That's not up for you to decide.

I told you choices are 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.

Don't move!

Stop this, goddammit!

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

Put it down!

You will not do this.

We will not go out like this.

You drawing on me?

I chose you.

I chose you.

Drop it.

I swear to God,

drop it or I'll...

Or you're what?

We can power up if you want.

And shoot it out.

But you'll lose.

Power up

and you'll kill all of us.

Including yourselves.

You never know.

I can power up.

Put a couple of rounds in you.

Power down.

Maybe the Hunters are not that wise.

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.

[Groans]

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.

Know where I stand.

I wouldn't make it to 200 yards.

Might be all you have to make, Macer.

[Panting]

[Panting rapidly]

Hurry up!

He'll turn on you, huh?

Shut up!

The least essential one always dies.

Me, he needs to fly the ship.

You? What's he needs?

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.

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]

[Panting]

HORRIGAN: 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 a way.

This thing has a standard
backup power cell.

We use this for the ship instead,

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

Get this cell into the system.

Test it, make sure it's still working.

MACER: 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.

[Ramos wheezing]

I gotta top up.

We don't have time for this!

HORRIGAN: Saturate quick.

[Panting]

[Device beeps]

I'm getting nothing.

[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 here,
we already know that.

Let's make the choice now.

Walk, goddammit.

I called this mission.

It's on me.

Never did draw 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]

[Engine rumbling]

There they are!

[Screeching]

[Worms chittering]

[Device beeping]

What the hell?

[Yells]

[Engine stalling]

We got problems.

Steady, Macer.

[Screaming]

Come on!

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

[Both panting]

Don't do it!

[Engine whirring]

[Screeching]

Don't do it!

Don't do it!

[Gun shots]

[Screeching]

No, no!

No!

No.

[Yelling]

[Grunting]

[Yelling]

[Rumbling]

[Beeping]

[Timer beeping]

[Screeching]

[Beeping]

Now, come on!

I need you help here, bus driver.

Autopilot hardware's same as most.

[Beeping]

[Powering up]

We're going.

We're going!

[Engine whirring]

[Timer beeping]

[Rumbling]

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 soul.

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 to 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?
