[narrator]
Previously, on Halo.

[Parangosky] We've been fighting
these alien creatures for years,

and we still have no idea
what they want.

[Professor]
Spartans aren't human.

They're faster,
stronger, smarter.

They just keep on killing.

No!

[John] Commencing search of
the area for enemy landing site.

Covenant forces appear
to be excavating

for some kind of object.

[Makee, in alien language]

Retrieving now.

[Mercy, in alien language]

[John] I saw things
when I touched the object.

- A family.
- The security committee's

looking for an excuse
to cut your funding.

No cloning, no Cortana.
Is that clear?

[Miranda]
You didn't order an Article 72.

We're murdering a teenage girl.

[John] You're gonna need
to listen to me.

Why should I trust you?

[John]
You want me dead...

you'll need to aim up here.

- What are you doing?
- [John] I'm trying to help you.

If this ship lands,

they will remove you
and execute you.

[Parangosky] Put out the alarm.

Scramble everyone
to landing bay.

Full squadron protocol.

Protect Master Chief from anyone

who actively
threatens his life.

[Keyes]
Knock it down!

[Kwan]
You just decided to help me?

Why would a Spartan do that?

I don't know.

Strap in.

[indistinct shouting]

[aircraft flying overhead]

[dogs barking]

[vehicle engines chugging]

Soren.

Soren!

John.

Where's your armor, man?

Where's your ditch bag?

I'm not going.

What are you talking about?

I can't let you go.

What changed your mind?

Every Spartan has the duty

to prevent actions
that will harm the program.

John, stop! Stop!

If you fail to comply
with my orders, I will be...

I will be compelled to use
all necessary means,

including lethal force
to blah-biddy blah.

That ain't training, man.
That's programming.

I mean it, Soren.

Man.

Didn't all those dreams we had
mean anything?

I don't have dreams.

That's what I'm here for.

I'll do the dreaming
for the both of us.

Look...

We'll be on the Rubble
by morning.

Have a good breakfast.

No one will find us there.

John, it's a fresh start.

This place...

This place cost me my arm.

And what's good about that

is you can see
what Halsey did.

But what she's taking
from you, John...

I'm not even sure you'll
realize when it's gone.

[scoffs]

Don't.

If I want it
to be anyone, John...

I want it to be you.

Either way...

I'm a free man.

It appears that the firearm

available to me at
this moment is jammed.

Come with me.

You've got five minutes,

and then I'm waking up
the entire camp.

- Make it ten?
- Five!

Whoa.

[Kwan]
How fast are we going?

[John]
It's not about the speed.

We're taking a more direct path
through space.

[Kwan]
What?

If you think of space
like a ball of yarn

with multiple threads
to the same destination...

You're ruining it.

That thing you took
from Madrigal, what is it?

Don't know.

How'd you make it
start the ship?

Don't know.

"Don't know."

Okay.

Why are you doing this?

Why didn't you just take me in,
let them kill me?

Would you let a kid
be executed?

[scoffs]
No.

Why not?

Because it's wrong.

That's what I was thinking.

Thank you.

You're welcome.

[jet engines roaring]

[Halsey]
Yes, Silver Team is gearing up

to bring in Master Chief
peacefully.

[Hood] Let's talk about
how One-One-Seven escaped.

[Halsey]
I think it has something to do

with the object that he was
bringing back from Madrigal.

It's capable of creating
enormous energy fields.

[Hood]
What is it exactly?

I don't know.

I think that's the first
I've ever heard

the brilliant Catherine Halsey
utter the words "I don't know."

What I do know is that
the Covenant sent two ships

and 20 Elite warriors
to try and retrieve it.

Well, then we want it too.

Exactly.

And when we find
the Master Chief...

what does one do
with a superhuman

you're not sure
you can trust?

I am sure I can trust him.

But to assuage any doubt,

Admiral Parangosky and I
have devised

an insurance plan
for the future.

Do you know how I rose
to this position?

By keeping my mind clear
of unnecessary concerns.

So if you have a plan,

the committee
should hear it.

Just keep it light.

[jets flying overhead]

[Vannak]
Still no contact,

and his beacon is turned off.

He's gonna come back.

He wouldn't just leave us.

Chief's always got a plan.

[Riz]
Kai, Vannak,

slipspace vector tracking
on the Condor just came in.

We won't have his exact
location, but we'll be close.

[Kai]
Vannak.

If he's got a plan,
why are we going after him?

Halsey's orders.
We'll find out when we need to.

[alarm tweeting]

- What's that sound?
- Proximity alarm.

We exited slipspace
into an asteroid field.

[Kwan]
Oh, my God!

- We're gonna die!
- Everything dies.

Sit down and buckle up.

Tell me you have a plan.

Sit down.

Buckle up.

[panting]

[groaning]

No, no, no!

[alarm beeps rapidly]

[loud rumble]

[breathing heavily]

- [panel beeps]
- [door hinges creak]

[indistinct chatter]

- [Trokan] Squirrel.
- [Squirrel] What is it?

[speaking Hungarian]

Get the boss.

- [guns cock]
- Oi!

[indistinct chatter]

Spartan.

This is your plan?

We're fine.

Willy!

[men laughing]

[grunts]

[laughs]

[loud scraping]

Ladies and gentlemen,
put your weapons down.

If John here wanted you dead,

you'd be dead.

Nice of you to drop by.

Hello, Soren.

Look at you.

Welcome to the Rubble.

Let me show you
what you missed out on.

Soren, this is Kwan Ha.

I'm looking for
a place for her.

You're the one that they

just issued a bounty for.

UNSC is offering a bounty?

- [man] Back to work!
- [Soren] UNSC? No.

Well, who's the new top cat
on Madrigal?

- Vinsher.
- Vinsher?

He's a traitor
to the resistance.

Apparently, uh, the UNSC's
preferred replacement

didn't just take
your father's office,

he's cleaning house.

Offering cash for your head,
literally.

Should I have
not said it like that?

Wait, you thought
that it was the UNSC

that was offering
a bounty, so...

So they also want me dead.

Damn.

You're making friends
all over.

[indistinct chatter]

[horn beeps]

Here it is.

Home to every misfit,
reprobate, outlaw,

and renegade
in the galaxy.

- No law.
- Ah!

No police. No government.
No responsibility.

It's everything
we always talked about, man.

Absolute freedom,
just like I always promised.

- [rumbling]
- [electricity crackles]

Mind the gap.

[cable car rumbling]

Got a whole rock to myself.

Go where I want to go,
do what I want to do.

I'm happy for you.

Well, I can see that.

[grunts]

So many secrets.

Daddy! Daddy!

- Hey!
- [giggles]

This little guy's name
is Kessler.

[chuckles]

You have a child?

[Kessler]
Did you bring me anything?

I'm a pirate.
That's what we do.

- But not till after dinner.
- Aw.

Go get your mom.
We got company.

You can leave
your gear here.

I just redid the floors.

Ah.

[chuckles]
My wife, Laera.

My galactic princess.

It's kind of you
to have us.

John.

Soren speaks of you so often.

[Soren]
Not that often, my dear.

Not that often.

[Makee, speaking alien language]

[snarls]

[Keyes]
Governor Vinsher has control

of the situation
on Madrigal,

but perhaps with somewhat
more of an iron fist

than we anticipated
when we put him in charge.

Vinsher's crude, but he's
a reliable business partner.

The deuterium
will soon be flowing,

and the relative calm
has had a positive effect

on fuel prices
across the galaxy.

The other colonies
have taken notice.

Well done, Keyes.

For once,
some positive news.

Captain Keyes, is there any word
on the Master Chief?

The search for him
continues.

I have no doubt we'll find him,
and when we do,

I can assure you,

his punishment will be
commensurate with his crimes.

[Hood]
Is that wise?

Master Chief is not only
a valuable battle asset,

he's a symbol
for the whole war effort.

Punishment not only puts him
out of commission,

it could be very bad
for morale.

But what good is he
to the war effort

if he can't be controlled?

[murmuring]

Actually, Admiral Parangosky
and I have been ahead of this

for some time.

I've developed a new system

which will solve John's
current issues

and expand Spartan capability
across the board.

It's called Cortana.

And how does it work?

Spartan bodies
have been enhanced

to the limits
of our current technology,

so Cortana will do something
similar for their minds.

It will overwrite
Spartan consciousness

and replace it with a artificial
general intelligence.

The first of its kind.

I don't understand.

Cortana is the next stage
in human evolution.

[Halsey] The Spartans
were the first step.

Cortana is the upgrade.

She represents the sum total
of every available data point.

The intelligence of the galaxy,
in essence.

With Cortana, we will create
Spartans who are more lethal...

their judgment error-free,

their performance
upgradeable,

and, most importantly,

controllable.

[Keyes]
And what about John?

You can't just replace his mind.

We are talking about a person.

John is much more
than a person.

He is a Spartan.

For his own safety and for ours,
John doesn't feel as we do.

Hormonal pellets
have suppressed his emotions.

John was enhanced and trained
for one purpose:

to fight for us.

And at the moment,
he and the other Spartans

are our only effective weapons
against the Covenant.

But with the help
of the Cortana system...

we can win this war.

[Penma]
Didn't you author a paper

about a hypothetical artificial
general intelligence

that could interface
directly with humans?

Yes, I authored several.

And didn't that process depend
on biological substrates?

Derived from
the illegal practice

of flash-cloning humans?

That's correct.

Have you found a way
around that?

Admiral Parangosky,

Section Three
is your responsibility.

Any advantage we can get
on the Covenant is a good thing.

But just so we're clear,

you're on board
with Halsey's program?

I think the case of Master Chief
provides an opportunity

for a limited trial
of the system, yes.

[Hood] Good,
I'll leave it to you

to manage
the technical hurdles.

Let's get Master Chief back
and put this mess behind us.

We have a war to win.

Remember the tale
of the rebel Jin.

And what a spot
he put Madrigal in.

Led us into costly war.

Oh.

And then he stole our hydrogen.

[aircraft warbling overhead]

[indistinct radio chatter]

Vinsher hated my father.

He was always looking a way
to cut a deal with the UNSC.

Now Madrigal is his.

I'm so sorry.

I know how you feel.

Do you?

I lost my whole family

when I was just a little
younger than you are now.

I lost my whole planet
to the Covenant.

Everyone I love,
until I met Soren.

You want revenge.

I want justice.

Revenge and justice
are easy to confuse.

Go ahead, taste it.

I don't taste anything.

You stick around here
long enough, you will.

That's freedom, man.

How big a jump did you get
on the UNSC?

Not big enough.

I give them a day.

More than you gave me.

Yep.

[grunts]

Mm-mm.

I don't get it, John.

Get what?

This.

You.

Showing up here,
on the run from your people,

carrying a fugitive.

I mean, who are you?

I'm trying to figure
a few things out.

Like what's in that box?

There you are.

- Sorry.
- Mmm, mmm, mmm.

We were just getting to know
each other.

Us too.

[child shouts, giggles]

[grunts]

I can name all the planets
in the sky.

Can you?

[Kessler]
Maybe not all.

[Soren]
Who'd have thought it?

Me... wife... a kid.

[Kessler] If you want,
I could show you them.

I thought
it was impossible.

[Soren inhaling]

I thought the treatments
they gave us...

Treatments?

[laughs]

He's still calling them
treatments.

Maybe he still believes it.

- [Kwan] What is it?
- Clarity.

I think I've had enough clarity
for one day, thanks.

[Soren] There's something
you need to know

about the Spartan program
and all those treatments, John.

What they did to us,
it's only permanent

if we choose to let it be.

Doesn't matter how long
it had you.

For example,
that pellet you got in your back

that enhances battle focus?

It mutes everything.

It eliminates distraction.

It makes you numb.

It makes you as numb to life

as you are to the taste
of this food.

Mmm, mmm, mmm.

- [chuckles]
- [Soren] Mmm.

John...

lose the pellet

and it's like opening your eyes
for the first time

after living in the dark.

Soren, leave John be.

He has a lot on his mind.

- I got you.
- Pew, pew! No, you don't.

[Laera] It means a lot to
Soren that you've come,

though I get a sense
that you won't be staying.

- [Kessler laughs]
- Like you said,

I have a lot on my mind.

[Laera]
Yes.

[gasps]
Kessler.

What's this?

[Laera]
It's, um...

It's his sign.

[Soren]
You should be honored, man.

It means he can count on you

and you can count on him.

Thank you, Kessler.

I accept.

[Soren]
"Thank you, Kessler. I accept."

[Soren laughs]

Man, you are a stiff one,
Johnny.

Okay.

Sweet dreams.

Toodle-oo.

Good night.

[Soren]
I guess when a camel flies,

you don't ask how far.

- [Kessler] Good night.
- [Laera] Kessler, let's go.

- [console beeping]
- Vannak. Riz.

- Are you getting this?
- [Vannak] Yes.

Sensor plot has the Condor
dropping out of slipspace

inside an asteroid belt.

It makes no sense.

Stay on the track?

Stay on it.

- Admiral.
- What is it, Doctor?

I'm already
not in the mood.

I understand from my father
that Dr. Halsey

is getting sole access
to the Madrigal object.

If and when we find it.

Ma'am, xeno-technology
is my department.

I'm aware.

If I recall, I put you
in that position.

Dr. Halsey already takes
the lion's share of funding,

and she's only focused
on her Spartans.

All of our advances
in shielding, active camo,

even slipspace navigation

derived from my...
My research.

I'm even making
great progress

in understanding
the Sangheili language.

Whatever this object is,
I'm the one to untangle it.

I could make great strides
if I had you on my side.

So much like your mother.

Except you lack
the polish.

- Ma'am, I...
- I've had enough

of being manipulated
for the day.

Get back to work,
Miranda.

What is it?

Some kind of Covenant artifact,
I think.

What does it do?

- I'm not sure.
- Bullshit.

I can see you're lying
in your eyes.

Now you didn't drag this thing
halfway across the galaxy

because it's pretty.

What does it do?

It powered his ship.

I saw it.

Ship was dead, then he touched
this thing and bam.

How?

I don't know.

[Soren chuckles]

Don't!

It worked for him.

I know a guy.

No.

Not interested
in selling it.

Guy's name is Reth.

He got taken into a Covenant
ship and lived to talk about it.

He's seen things.

He knows things.

Trust me, man.

Where can I find him?

- [indistinct chatter]
- [horn honking]

This is the safest place
in the galaxy you could find?

Weren't a lot
of options.

Rubble is a haven
for people

who don't fit in
anywhere else.

Like you?

[Soren] I'm talking about a
whole other deal, man. Mystics.

Guys like Reth are swimming
in the cosmic river.

Got any good churros today?

Yes, it's hot.

All right,
give me half a dozen.

[steam hissing]

- So he's insane.
- He's sensitive.

Hanging out with the aliens
will change you, brother.

[Soren]
Looks like a jail, but it's not.

It's a refuge for him.

One last thing.

No sudden moves.

[laughs]
I'm just kidding.

Man, lighten up.

Oh, look who it is.

[man]
What's the man's name?

Who's the man? What's his name?

Mr. Selfish.
Mr. Selfish. Mr. Selfish.

Who you calling selfish?
I brought churros.

Spartan.

[growls]

[man]
I can smell them.

They like sweets.

Hey...

Don't worry.

They won't bite you.

[woman shouting distantly]

Hey!

[Soren]
Reth.

It's me, Soren.
You there?

Yeah. Are you?

I brought some friends
with me.

I'm coming in, okay?

[Reth]
Close it!

Close it, close it, close it!

Who's he?

[Soren]
Reth, this is John.

This is Reth.

You've seen them too?

The Covenant?

Yes.

[Reth]
And you fought?

And you won?

Not yet.

[Soren]
John's being modest.

He's a regular Covenant
killing machine.

What'd make him better

is a little bit
of inside information.

Come here.

What's your name?

Kwan.

- Kwan Ha.
- [Reth] Oh, yes, you are.

Kwan Ha.

- Hello? Reth.
- Kwan Ha.

Over here, man.

[laughs]
Hi.

John's got a little something
he wants to show you.

Kwan Ha...

Hey.

[grunts]

Where did you get this?

[John]
On Madrigal.

Covenant detachment
was excavating it.

[Reth]
Madrigal. Poor Madrigal.

You know Madrigal?

Any place that has been
visited by the Covenant

has my sympathies.

Covenant's whole religion
is based on things like this.

Things from another time,
things left behind.

They roam the galaxy looking
for pieces, looking for clues.

Do you understand?

When I was a guest
on their ship,

they asked to see
if I could make them work,

but I could not,
sensitive as I am.

[gasps]

[laughs]

See?

I'm not a Blessed One.

- What's a Blessed One?
- [Reth] Human, only more so.

But what are humans?
Homo sapiens?

An accidental collision
of amino acids.

But is that enough?
Is that all there is?

Being human?
Well, for you, perhaps,

but a Blessed One
has an obligation.

No, not an obligation...

- We're losing' him.
- ...a responsibility...

[Reth]
...no, a-a-a moral imperative.

- Or an aperitif.
- Hey.

I always had a nice,
cold glass of...

Reth!

What is this thing?

What does it do?

You don't want to help
the Covenant destroy us, do you?

No.

[gasps]

Good!

[screams]

[all screaming]

[electricity crackling]

[John's mother]
Let's hang this one.

[Young John]
No!

I don't want to do it!

John!

[all screaming]

[crying]

[panting]

What are you?

You bring it to life.

But you are different
than the one they have!

- [screams]
- Easy.

- The one they have?
- [Reth] It's in your eyes.

What do you mean?

- Easy.
- It's in your eyes!

What do you mean?

You don't understand

what you are, do you?

What am I?

[laughs]

[yells]
What am I?!

[panting]

The image you made it produce,
the ring,

that's what they want!

[sobs]

- What is that ring?
- [Reth] A door.

To what?

The end of life as we know it.

So it's a weapon?

Yeah.

You felt it, didn't you?

The darkness.

Yes.

That means
you can stop it.

How?

Destroy the artifact.

Then destroy yourself.

John. Hey.

John!

[gasps softly]

[Soren]
John, hold up.

I have to go back.

[Kwan]
To the UNSC? Why?

They turned my planet over
to a warlord.

They ordered you to kill me.

Hey, John, look, we can figure
this shit out here.

No, I need
the other Spartans.

You need them,
not me.

I don't expect you
to understand.

Oh, I understand completely.
You need to get back to her.

Yeah, you're running
back to Halsey.

Any time there's a problem,
Mommy's there to fix it.

You think she cares about you?
Huh? You're just a machine.

And you're a coward who ran away
when things got hard.

Oh, okay.

You have no loyalty
to anything.

You want to talk to me
about loyalty?

You gave me
five goddamn minutes.

You want to know
what that bought me?

They shot me down.
I was burned all to hell,

living off bark and beetles.

They were on my ass for
months till I got free.

All because you gave me
five minutes.

You were wrong to run.

You were wrong to stay!

[Kwan]
Master Chief, wait!

I've seen what Covenant
weapons are capable of.

Entire planets
turned to glass.

So if they're going after
something bigger,

I have no choice.

And I need you
to keep her here.

- What?
- Soren...

you're the only person
I know outside the UNSC.

I need to trust you
right now.

Can I trust you?

- Of course you can trust...
- Then keep her safe.

- John...
- Promise me.

I give you my word.

Wait, hold on.

Don't I get a say in this?

You can't just leave me here.

I'm sorry, Kwan.

This is the best I could do.

So that's it?

[door seals closed]

[engine powering up]

[beeping]

[engine revs]

[beeping]

[Kai]
Fleetcom, this is Stalwart Dawn.

One-One-Seven has activated
his beacon.

Very well.

Bring him in.

[tech] Stalwart Dawn has entered
Reach airspace.

Initiating ground transfer
of Master Chief and Silver Team.

[Halsey]
Stop here.

Handle it carefully.

Put it in with me.

Well?

I've never seen
anything like it.

Did you tell them that
the Covenant wants this too?

That it might be
some kind of weapon?

- Yes, I did.
- And?

And if it points
to something greater,

of course we'll explore
that possibility.

But, John, your actions
have created a host of problems,

not just for you, but for
the whole Spartan program

and for me personally.

[sighs]

The people rely on you
to protect them,

to make them feel safe.

It is precisely
your dependability

that gives people hope.

How am I supposed to defend
your reckless behavior?

I felt something.

I believe you.

I've been going
over and over in my head...

all the details of the images

that I see when
I touch the object.

I don't know.

I don't think that's a
constructive place for us to go.

I think we should focus
on the lab results.

What was it about the girl
that made you run?

[Vinsher, over monitor]
Madrigal has a gift.

It runs through our rivers,
in our lakes,

and the ground
on which we live.

And with our partners
in the UNSC,

we will return to our place

as the gem
of the outer colonies.

[John]
I couldn't let her die.

[Halsey] But you've seen
so many people die.

Why was this situation
any different?

[John] Well I don't think
the situation was different.

I think...

I am...

different.

I feel connected to something.

I don't know what it is
or why it chose me.

But I know it's out there.

I can feel it.

[Halsey]
Have you felt this way before?

I don't usually feel anything.

Then why did you come back?

There's no one else
I could trust.

Thank you.

You made the right choice.

I see this as a new beginning.

[keypad beeps]

[Halsey] We're going to
do great things together.

[end theme music playing]
