LOCKE: What the hell did they do to us?

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

Way of wiping us out without firing a shot.

LOCKE: An element fatal to humans.

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

We destroy the deposits with the Havok,

grab our smugglers,

be off-planet within hours.

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

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

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

The rule was you stick together.

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.

How'd they make the hard decisions?

They drew straws.

LOCKE: You help us find that craft,

you get a fair draw at those straws.

That's a dangerous game you're playing.

Someone's gotta help him!

Stay on mission, Macer!

ARRIS: It's your technology!

It's like a magnet to them.

They sense it!

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

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.

LOCKE: 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 called this mission.

It's on me.

Fuel cells functioning.

It's a go.

The least essential one always dies.

Me? He needs to fly the ship. You? What's he needs?

Never did draw those straws, did we?

I gotta top up.

We don't have time for this!

[Beeping]

Don't do it!

See you in Valhalla.

We got a problem.

[Screaming]
