Previously on Halo.

The Covenant
flew off with the artifact,

and then you drop
from the sky,

offering to help us
get it back.

Tell me why
I should trust you.

Because I'm like you.

John, you have some connection

to this thing that
we're calling the Halo.

I know that you will
take us there, and when you do,

we will lead our species
beyond its current limitations.

But you need me to do this.

You admitted everything

to the Master Chief.

Your clearances are revoked,
effectively immediately.

The stewardship
of the Spartan program

moves to a more
responsible person.

We got a transmission.

It was a voice
speaking in Sangheili.

We're working to clean it up.

Maybe you could
verify my translation?

It was never my intention
to hurt you.

I could show you, John.

Take me to the keystone.
It will lead us to its partner.

If she could use the artifact
to find the other one,

maybe I can too.

The Covenant
call me "The Blessed One."

We are the same.

From the moment
I first saw him as a child,

I had an instinct.

He wasn't the fastest
or the strongest,

but there was
something about him.

And now there may be
two of them.

Look, his health seems
to be improving.

That's right.

All his systems
are back to normal.

Look at you, so cheerful.

Chief's health
is important to me.

There's two of us
inside his head now, remember?

Cortana...

do you think he trusts her?

He's not speaking with me
at the moment,

but if I had to guess,

Master Chief doesn't trust
anyone right now.

I'll bet.

Doctor, we can't do anything
without John,

and he has turned
his back on us.

I think he's discovering
what I've always suspected:

that he is connected
to something beyond all of us.

"And they ran among
the broad Margolia trees,

and the sun danced
on the leaves."

What's that?

It's from a book
a friend used to read to me

when I was very young.

He said there were
places like this,

with trees and bright light
in the sky.

Green grass to walk on.

♪♪♪

Let's walk.

Look at him!

Frolicking in the park!

The 1-1-7 I knew
would have torn her apart

one limb at a time

until he got the answers
he required.

He has changed, Jacob.

Yeah.

You don't think
he suspects us?

He knows Halsey
answered to me.

If he finds out we were involved
in his abduction...

If he did,
we'd know about it.

Believe me,
that's all behind us now.

This is dirty business,
all of it.

We have to trust him,
Margaret.

Master Chief is a soldier.

He's always on mission.

I saw you...

on the ring.

I saw you too.
How did you do that?

I don't know. I just, I...

I let go.

- That's incredible.
- So, that's it.

That's the...
that's the Halo.

I'm sure of it.

I felt a connection to it
my entire life.

It's like a yearning
for home.

You brought us there.

What is it, Makee?

And why do the Covenant
want it so bad?

There's a prophecy.

"Where the stars
sparkle like glass,

"a divine wind
will rush through,

"propelling all of those
who are worthy

on a great journey
to the sacred ring,

where we will become like gods."

And those who aren't worthy?

Cleansed.

And you believe that?

Humans are unworthy?

From what I saw,
humans didn't seem

to be worthy of anything.

I've only seen fragments
from my childhood.

But what I saw,
what I felt...

was goodness.

I saw a capacity for hope.

Love.

There is something
within us.

Something special in humans.
Something sacred.

Something worth protecting.

Master Chief!

Chief!

I'll be back.

Apologies,
Master Chief,

but we have a situation
on Criterion.

Sorry,
he just likes people.

Come on. That's it.

♪

Orbital defenses
were wiped out immediately.

Then three more Covenant fleets

appeared in formation
above the equatorial zone.

Telmun fell first.

This is... or was...

the city of Agade.

An hour ago, 11 million people
were living here,

including my family.

God rest their souls.

The search for survivors
has begun.

Cut the feed.

...even know
where to start.

Cut it!

...medical technicians
are overwhelmed...

Yes, sir.

Contact Admiral Whitcomb.

Task Seventh Fleet
to Criterion.

Admiral, you know
I cannot do that.

There are survivors!

Criterion's gone.

The Cole Protocol
applies here.

We can't just sit here

and wait for them to find us.

The Admiral's right.

We need to take
the fight to them.

And how do you suggest
we find them, Master Chief?

I mean, I got 150 techs
working around the clock,

chasing down your lead,

and we've found
absolutely nothing.

Makee can show us
where they are,

and where they took
the second artifact, using ours.

Absolutely not.

Why her? Why can't you do it?

She's been trained
to communicate through them

in a way that I still can't,
but she can help us.

One stroll in the park
has you convinced?

She was kidnapped
by the Covenant

when she was a child.

She was turned against us,

but she is us,
Captain.

She's human.

Chief, people don't just
manually override

decades of indoctrination.

I did.

Criterion and its people
have just been glassed,

and now they're hunting us.

Let Makee try.

Miranda can supervise.

First sign of trouble,
and she'll pull the plug.

Get on with it.

Still going?

Eleven hours now.

This thing can fly itself,

but I can't find
any navigational data.

The encryption
is extremely advanced.

Those aliens are ugly,
not stupid.

What's Kai's status?

Getting there...

I think.

What does that mean?

Is she fit for duty or not?

Come on!

Pay up!

Give me the money!

Damn, Spartan!

Squidheads don't want

Ohh! Can you believe this?

Captain Keyes. Access granted.

Hey.

Hey.

Everything going
to schedule?

Yeah, we've tasked satellites

to track transmissions
to and from the artifact

the second Makee makes contact.

Should be ready
by noon tomorrow.

Good.

And what's this?

It's the recording
from the Gladius

after the Sangheili attack.

It's still translating?

Yeah, it's...

it's the most bizarre thing.

Even with voice approximation,

I'm picking up some weird
variant on the dialect.

Like an accent?

Accent, maybe.

Speech impediment.

I don't know.
I've never seen it before.

Can you show me?

Okay, so I've...

I've set the noise filters

to standard Sangheili.

But these frequencies
are all over the place.

And then suddenly here it just...

It drops down into a completely
different range.

But then when I change
the algorithm down,

I lose all of the high end.

It's bizarre.

If anyone can figure it out,

it's you.

See you at the test.

See you

You two are relieved.

Our orders are to stay

You're relieved, Sergeant.

Roger that.

They're gonna let you use

Hmm.

So, they trust me?

They trust me.

John has a girlfriend.

How ordinary.

Their connection is deep.

Their dopamine, serotonin,
and oxytocin levels

are all elevated,

all in biochemical
synchrony.

John is no longer alone
in the galaxy.

Well, John was never alone.

He had me.

Of course.

What time's the test today,
Cortana?

They're bringing Makee
to the artifact at 1200 hours.

Okay.

That's all for the moment.
Thank you.

So, is there a problem?

Why do you ask?

I've been watching
contingency teams

coming and going
from Fleetcom all night.

Rooftop antennae
shifting positions.

It's nothing you need
to concern yourself over.

What, you've...
you've just come for a chat?

Actually,
I came to say goodbye.

Parangosky wants you
off the planet by noon today.

High noon.

Yeah, well, that's impossible.

Why?

Because I'm organizing
and collating my life's work.

I suggest you prioritize.

Grab what you need,

and we'll send the rest
along after.

But why is she so desperate
to get me off the planet?

Well, Margaret knows
what a valuable asset

you've been to the war effort,

and the sooner you're up
and running in your new lab...

Come on, you can do
better than that.

I am still a valuable asset
right here.

You tell me
what you're planning,

and I can help you with it.

You've become a liability,
Catherine.

- Jacob.
- You're out.

We had an agreement.

You got to play
the good guy.

I didn't play anything.

Well, you were supposed
to have my back.

You were supposed to have
my back. We had a deal.

You think it's been easy for me,
carrying around your secrets?

My sec... our secrets!

It is a little bit late
for your self-righteous anger.

No, I am angry.

I'm angry at you.
I'm angry at myself.

I'm angry at this system

that so easily
sacrifices human life

in the name of progress,
or order,

or whatever bullshit catchphrase
you come up with in the lab.

But more importantly,

I'm angry because you,
you just won't stop.

How can I stop?

- We are on the precipice...
- Oh, my God.

- ...of everything that...
- The future, right.

This obsession that you have
with the future

has cost you every relationship

Your only child.

Everything.

I am willing to sacrifice
absolutely everything.

Miranda Keyes. Access granted.

Hello, Makee.

Who are you?

Apologies for hijacking
your entertainment system,

but it's urgent
that I talk to you.

- Guard?
- It's about John.

How do you know John?

You could say I know him
better than anyone.

I raised him
since he was 6 years old.

He's very fond of you,

and I hear that you feel
the same way about him.

Makes me very happy.

What is it you want?

John is in great danger.
In fact, you both are.

What do you mean?

The artifacts must never
be delivered to the UNSC.

John believes they're safer
under human control.

Well, you lived among us.
Would you agree?

You don't care for humanity.

I love humanity,

but humans are the problem.

We're stuck.

We're still venal,
selfish creatures

who create misery and pain
wherever we go.

If the Halo is indeed a weapon,

we will doubtless use it
to destroy ourselves

once and for all.

John won't let that happen.

Makee, there is no John.

There's been
no John for years.

There is only Master Chief,

a product of the species
who made him necessary.

John has been used,
just as you have been used.

But both of your gifts
are too precious

for either side to claim.

You two must be the ones
to control the Halo,

with my help.

Why are you telling me this?

Why not tell John?

You have a connection with John
that I will never have.

It's been wonderful to watch.

I'm so glad that you've
found each other.

He will listen to you...

but you must...

What do you want?

Who were you talking to?

I know that they're planning
to use you

to find the second artifact.

You have to convince John

to help you to remove
the artifact

and bring it to me.

I'll have a ship waiting
to take us away from here.

And then what?

Then we tap into
the intelligence of the Halo,

and we unleash our full
and true potential

as a species.

Finally, we become...

Like gods.

What?

I've heard enough.

Makee, it is too dangerous
to leave the artifact...

- How do I make it stop?
- Makee, listen, listen.

- How do I make you go away?
- It is too dangerous...

...to leave the arti...

Of the human brain's
myriad design flaws,

the hardest to overcome
is attachment.

It makes us sentimental.

People abandon all reason for
the sake of pride or fear or...

Or love.

Yes. Or love.

That's why they need us,
Cortana.

To save them from themselves.

I hope we can deliver.

Signal the Spartans.

♪♪♪

Spartans,

the artifact you discovered
on Madrigal

has adversely affected
senior leadership

in the military
chain of command.

No one of rank
can be considered

trustworthy or reliable.

As the senior civilian
representative,

I am therefore
invoking Zed Protocol,

effective immediately.

I have activated the emergency
Spartan back channel.

This is the only way
you'll receive new orders

for your next mission.

From this moment onwards,

my orders shall supersede
all and any others.

You've all been trained
for this eventuality,

so I trust that you're ready
for the task at hand.

- Copy.
- Copy.

What about Master Chief?

Why isn't he here?

John is unwell.

His repeated exposure
to the artifacts

has impaired his cognition
and compromised his judgment.

He can no longer be trusted
to stay on mission.

Therefore, it is up to you
to save him.

On my command,

bring John, the prisoner,

and the artifact to my ship,

and we will
leave Reach together.

John won't go without a fight.

Cortana will take the fight
out of him.

At the appropriate moment,
she can put him into stasis.

Ma'am, are you sure

this is the right
plan of action?

There must be another way
to help Master Chief.

I wish there were, Kai.

But this is the only way.

Good luck, Spartans.

Guys, we can't do this.

You know we can't do this.

Riz, Vannak...

listen carefully.

This is John
we're talking about.

There's no way
he was compromised.

There's so much you don't know
about Halsey.

We need to find...

It's just Riz and Vannak now.

That should be enough.

Could you give me access
to all cameras in Sector D?

Yes.

Doctor, may I ask,

what do you intend to do
with Master Chief?

Once we have Makee,

we'll no longer need John
to activate the artifacts,

which means you'll be free
to assume full control

of his body and consciousness,
just as I promised.

I see.

Well, that's what you wanted.

Where's that patented
enthusiasm?

Forgive me, Doctor.

As you said, sentimentality
is a weakness I do not possess.

Ah, but in this case,
enthusiasm is warranted.

This is a big day, Cortana.

You and John combined...

you will be the best
of all of us.

Congratulations.

Ready?

Let's go.

Master Chief is escorting Makee
to the secure room.

Be right there.

Admiral Parangosky and
Captain Keyes are also en route.

Okay, they're on their way.

Copy that.

Kill the internal comms
on the base,

but keep my line
to the Spartans open.

Done.

What is it?

The hope for humanity.

Or the end of everything.

John.

Hmm?

What will we do
when we find the Halo?

Destroy the Covenant.

End the war.

And then what?

What do you mean?

I mean...

after you've beaten
the Covenant.

What happens with the Halo?

I guess we'll see.

Riz, Vannak, they're on your

Copy.

Doctor, it's time...

Just stop talking, please.
