[narrator] Previously on Halo...

Strap in.

[speaking Sangheili]

[Soren] Put your weapons down.

If John here wanted you dead,
you'd be dead.

Hello, Soren. This is Kwan Ha.

Nice of you to drop by.

I've developed a new system
which will overwrite Spartan consciousness

and replace it
with our artificial general intelligence.

It's called Cortana.

Didn't that process depend
on the illegal practice

of flash-cloning humans?

-What does it do?
-I'm not sure.

[Riz] Slipspace vector tracking
on the Condor just came in.

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

What they did to us, it's only permanent
if we choose to let it be.

That pellet you got on your back,
it mutes everything.

Lose the pellet,
and it's like opening your eyes.

[soft chuckle]

[screams]

You bring it to life.

What do you mean?

You are different than the one they have.

The one they have?

[speaking Sangheili]

The ring! That's what they want!

What is that ring?

The end...

of life as we know it.

- have to go back.
-[Soren] You running back to Halsey.

-You can't just leave me here.
-Promise me.

-Keep her safe.
-I give you my word.,

-[Halsey] Why did you come back?
-There was no one else I could trust.

You made the right choice.

We're gonna do great things together.

[whirring]

[indistinct chattering]

[man, over PA] Metals and plastics
are to be kept separate.

Contaminated bags will be rejected
and extra shifts imposed.

[man] Come on, let's go faster.

[man 2] Let's go, you little bastards!

-Move!
-[gasps]

Come on, let's go faster.

Hurry up!

[Det] "They ran among
the broad Ma-Margolia trees,

and when she turned to him,
he took her up.

This was a new frontier for Jack,

one not made of the great forest
or high 'moon-tains,’

but something more vast,

more unknowable:

the heart of an untamed woman."

What's "untamed" mean?

I think it's like she's really pretty.

[man] You!

-[gasps]
-Shh!

[man, over PA] The next shift day
has been extended...

Do you like it?

I love it.

It's a story
about a whole different world.

What do you mean?

There are other planets
with bright light in the sky,

and tall trees,

and green grass you can walk on.

[sighs] I don't know.

-Really?
-It's in the book.

Look here.
Do you know what that word says?

"Kiss."

So, when you read a word like that,

someone's supposed to kiss you.

-[man] Hey!
-[both gasp]

Get back to work!

-J tense music playing J
-[Det] Run!

-lman] Let's go!
-Hey!

Get over here!

Come back here, you little shit!

Makee, come on!

Come on!

-[grunts]
-[Makee screams]

-Useless little shit! [grunts]
-Stop it! Stop it!

-Ugh. Forget it!

-Det!
-Let's go!

[Makee, crying] No.

[indistinct yelling]

[all scream]

-I've gotchal!

This is amazing.

Finally, something with potential value.

Results confirm
it's over 100,000 years old.

That's pre-human.

Possibly even pre-Covenant.

It's organic,

but with what appears to be
an inherent technology.

According to Master Chief,

it has something to do
with a weapon somewhere.

-We have no confirmation, but Doctor--
-And why am I only hearing about this now?

-You know exactly why.
-l don't understand--

And if it was up to her,
you still wouldn't know anything about it.

Then why show it to me in the first place?

I want you to lead a team
in analyzing this artifact.

Determine what it is, what it does,

and if, in fact, it's part
of some kind of weapon.

Or anything that can give us
an edge against the Covenant.

Separate teams.

Parallel teams.

Dr. Halsey won't like that.

I'm interested in finding a way

to be less reliant on Dr. Halsey
moving forward.

Can you help me with that?

[chuckles]

[door opens, closes]

-Thank you, Adun.
-Mm-hmm.

[tray clatters]

How are you feeling?

I'm assuming you cloned me
to obtain organs,

or at Ileast that was the intent

when I collected samples
of my various tissues.

I collected the samples.
You are merely a product of the samples.

Yes, a product.

Well, it turns out not to feel that way
when you're sitting in this chair,

I have some questions.

Go ahead.

[chair rolls]

What became of the children?

Uh, well, 35 survived
the original augmentation.

So, more than half died.

That's a far greater percentage
than I imagined.

The rest became Spartans.

And now here I am,
conscious and conversing

with the Sorvad solids laid out before me.

So, the organ you're after is my brain.

Or should I say, your brain?

I've perfected the process
for real-time neuroelectrical imaging.

-The Cortana system's viable?
-Mm.

So you'll integrate her
into a working Spartan?

That's next.

I betit's John.

He was the special one.

Yes, he got himself
into some trouble recently.

This is our only way
of getting him out of it.

-[clangs]
-[door buzzing]

[clone] He was always willful.

And none of this bothers you.

Should it?

What about Miranda?

Our daughter.

I think we have everything we need.

Do you remember when you were my age

and you weren't sure whether flash-cloning
would ever be made legal?

And you wondered, if you found yourself

sitting opposite
a living, breathing version of you...

[inhales, exhales] ...would you
actually be able to go through with it?

What happened?

Progress.

[door clangs open]

-[door closes]
-This isn't necessary.

It's the only way to return you
to combat duty.

I'm a Spartan.

They can't afford to keep me
off the battlefield.

That's exactly what I argued
to get us to where we are now.

-1 don't need a babysitter.
-It's not a babysitter.

This is an upgrade

which will allow us
to analyze the artifact months,

years faster than by traditional means.

And, most importantly,

it will get you back on the front lines
where you belong,

where you are so desperately needed.

Let's get started.

I suspenseful music playing J

[computer beeping]

[sharp gasp]

I'm afraid we'll need you awake.

-But this will keep your body still.
-Will it hurt?

Oh, yes.

You have the most beautiful brain.

Soon, you will be part
of something bigger.

And better.

[door hisses open]

-[Halsey] Ready?
-[Adun] Mm-hm.

Cortana?

When the game is over,

the king and the pawn
go back into the same box.

Hello, Dr. Halsey.

It is so good to finally meet you.

-That must be the Master Chief.
-Yes.

His military record is outstanding.

Above the rest in strength, stamina,

and good instincts.

A natural leader. I see why you chose him.

Cortana, in the B-19 sub-stack
of the lab's central repository,

you'll find information
regarding an artifact

that was found on the planet Madrigal.

I have it.

I'm planning some experiments
to find out more

about its provenance and functionality,

and I need you to process
that data in real time--

[Cortana] Doctor, there's a problem.

My neural implant is operating perfectly,

but I'm unable to take
full operational control of the subject.

Yes.

For the moment, I have limited your access

to the reticular formation.

More of an on/off switch.

My directive is to integrate fully
with the Master Chief,

to optimize both his physical
and his mental performance.

And in time you will do that,
and much more.

But...

why have you prevented me
from achieving my directive?

Because John is a central part
of the examination of the artifact.

Before I hand him over,
I need to understand how it affects him

and how it might adversely affect you.

-Doctor, surely I can withstand--
-He will be conscious within the hour.

Can I recommend that you use this time

to familiarize yourself
with the trove of human knowledge

that's now available to you?

What will I do
with the other 52.4 minutes?

[laughs]

That's very impressive.

Uh...

don't worry.

I'm gonna keep you very busy.

[electricity crackling]

[indistinct chatter]

[upbeat music playing]

[news anchor 1] ...first images
are coming in from Tantalus,

which was completely wiped out
by Covenant forces...

[chatter, laughter]

-Hey!
-Hey.

[man] Where you goin'?

[news anchor 2]
...futures sent markets rising,

as prices of heavy hydrogen surged

after the attack on Madrigal
caused a disruption in output.

Sources close to Governor Vinsher report

that production will be back up
sooner than expected.

Vinsher's peace treaty with the UNSC

means one
of the insurrection's last holdouts

has ended its quest for independence.

As they say,
we're all in this together now.

[clucking]

What do we got here?

[Squirrel] A gift
from a cargo ship from Earth.

-How many of these we got?
-Forty-two cases.

-[man] Come. Come on.
-[man 2] Fourteen?

Take a case.

On me.

[in foreign language]

-l want to go back to Madrigal.
-What?

-No.
-Vinsher's taking over.

I have to join the resistance.

-Little girl like you?
-I'm not a little girl.

My family have been on Madrigal
since before it was even a colony.

I promised John I'd keep you safe.

I don't see any reason
to break that promise... yet.

There are people still loyal to my father
in the capital city, I know it.

Let them fight.

It's none of my business.

I'm not asking you to fight.

-1 just need a ride and protection
until I find my people.

I am not interested in playing bodyguard
to the princess of Madrigal.

Then give me a ship.

Right.

Don't turn your back on me, asshole!

[alarm blaring]

You're emotional.

And, as a courtesy to John,

I'm not gonna crush your skull.

Now, run on home
and I'll see you at dinner.

We're having chicken!

[alarm blaring]

So it's always on?

She's always available to you, yes.

Would you like to meet her?

Not particularly, no.

Come on.

Cortana.

Hello, Master Chief.

I'm Cortana.

-Looks like you.
-[Cortana] Kind of you to say.

I'm designed to look familiar,
my voice and accent to be pleasant.

I'm your built-in navigator,
battle strategist--

How does it work?

The system contains
a hollow particle exciter,

which means that she can appear
to you in any environment.

-S0 it answers to my command?
-l see it as more of a partnership.

And when I'm not deployed,
where does it go?

Doctor, he must not be aware
what I'm capable of.

-On and off the field of battle, I can--
-Thank you, Cortana.

Oh.

Well, it was a pleasure
to meet you, Master Chief.

I'll speak to you soon...

I guess.

I don't like this.

Trust me, you will.

She's going to enhance your abilities
in the field one-hundredfold.

You are the best we've got.

She's gonna make you even better.

This is a great leap forward,
for all of us.

[man] Acknowledged and received.

[man 2] Yes, sir,
that is the drill status.

No fluctuations from repulsor engines,
no sign of field atomics.

-Prepare to fire.

much longer I can survive here.

Hello? Can you hear me?

Anyone out there?

This is UNSC ship Gladius.
Identify yourself.

[cries out] Oh, no! I need help!

I'm from planet Circumstance.

We were taken prisoner, I-
My family's dead.

I only have my father's radio,
and it's dying.

How many onboard?

I'm alone here.

The aliens abandoned in pods
when the engines failed.

Please help me.

-Prepare a drone pod.
-Yes, sir.

Ma'am, we're sending you a pod.
Board it when it reaches you.

Do not bring any weapons with you.
Is that understood?

Yes, thank you. Thank you.

[sobbing] Please come quick. Thank you.

[creatures growl]

I'm ready.

Cortana?

[Cortana] I'm also ready, Dr. Halsey.

Okay, John.

to access the artifact.

[gasps]

[Cortana] I'm now getting no readings
from the artifact at all.

That's fascinating.

Cortana, release him.

[panting]

That was different.

[speaker beeps]

Okay, John, we're going to let
your vitals return to normal.

Just give us a moment
to go through the data.

[Cortana] Dr. Halsey, if you gave me
full control of the subject now,

-my readings will be more accurate.
-It's unclear why the artifact

responds only to John as John,
but it does.

I was not designed to be an assistant.

You were designed to follow my orders.

I'm not going to risk
our ability to interact with it.

[pounding glass]

Are we done?

[Kai] We've been fighting together

Whatever you do, we trust you.

Very well.

As you were.

Hello, can I have your attention
for a moment, please?

What are you doing?

To those of you
who haven't heard of me, I'm Cortana.

I'll be working
with Master Chief to provide

logistical and tactical support
for Silver Team.

-No, I didn't summon you.
-Summon me?

This is coming from inside you, Chief?

Go away.

i

I'm introducing myself
to the rest of the team.

Go. Disappear!

I look forward to working with you all.

New A.l. Halsey's.

It's temporary.

[door opens, closes]

That's Hessiod.

It's a big ball of gas.

And that one there is Metisette,
but no one goes there.

I don't think there's any air.

How about Madrigal? Can you see it?

It's right... there.

-l don't see it.
-Doesn't mean it's not there, silly.

Kessler, time to wash up, honey.

-You really don't see it?
-[Laera] Kess.

I'll show you later,

Bye.

It's funny, I never look out that window.

[Kwan] Why not?

[Laera] When you stare into deep space,
you're seeing things as they once were.

I choose to live in the present.

-l can't stay here.
-[Kessler] Mama, come!

And if you go, and you die?

The creatures who destroyed my planet
took everything from me.

Everything but my spirit.

Every day that I live in that spirit
is a victory over them.

-Someday, you will--
-I'm not you.

I can't just stay here
and eat and drink and smoke

and pretend nothing else exists
outside that window.

I'm sorry you lost your planet,
but Madrigal still has a chance.

If I don't try,
I couldn't live with myself.

I'm going to fight.

The universe will be diminished
without you in it.

-[computer beeping]
-[footsteps approaching]

[computer beeping]

[Cortana] Whatever you're searching for,
I can locate it.

Where are you?

I'm directly connected
to your auditory cortex.

Was I not clear with you?
Told you to leave me alone.

Yes, you've gotten quite good
at dismissing me,

but you're not as good
at targeting your search query.

[buzzes]

[sighs]

If I understand your objective,
I can be helpful.

I'm actually quite good at this.

I'm listening.

[scoffs]

When I touch the artifact, I see things.

What kind of things?

They feel like...

memories, I guess.

It doesn't help me to hear what you feel.

What do you see, exactly?

A picnic.

A forest.

A dog. My dog, I think.

Still not helpful.

But based on the keywords in your query,
I find 103 human colonies or moons

containing the specific flora
and fauna you are seeking.

-Would you like to see the list?
-Yes.

Please.

I've been to some of these planets.

There were Spartan deployments
to 23 of these planets.

Mamore.

Mamore.

We lost Nora 0-9-8 on Mamore.

Is the artifact bringing up memories
of Nora 0-9-8?

No.

I remember losing her, I just...

What?

-I don't feel anything.
-That's as it should be.

The hormonal pellet in your spine
suppresses adverse emotional responses

and protects mission readiness.

-It's part of what makes you a Spartan.
-l know, but when I touch the artifact...

I don't just see those memories.

I feel them.

[Cortana] Dr. Halsey, we have an issue.

Master Chief, what are you doing?

Chief is trying to remove
his emotional regulator.

-Why?
-1 believe it has to do

with the visions he's been experiencing.

- can put him in stasis.
-No, no.

I want you to help him.

Removing his pellet
is a direct violation of Section Three,

Regulations on Spartan Behavior.

I'll take care of the pellet.

It's better that he sees you
as an accomplice rather than a spy.

[Cortana sighs]
This is not what I signed up for.

It'll be easier if you let me help.

[exhales]

Down.

Down...

left... there.

Now make
a 1.3-centimeter vertical incision.

Trust me.

Good.

You should feel something solid
at the tip of the blade.

Twist 45 degrees
and use the knife edge to...

[John grunts]

Thank you.

Like I've been trying to tell you,
Master Chief, I'm here for you.

Please advance

[woman] Cool beans!
Oh, it's my ball? Oh, my ball!

[Cortana] Chief, based on the readings
from your limbic system,

this is a new experience for you.

Let me help you.

This train makes stops
at Reach Naval Academy,

Tchakova Park, and Manassas.

Do you know where you'd like to go?

So you could hear things differently?

Maybe I just wanted to hear it
like everyone else.

Can you open this?

[Halsey] Open it, Cortana.

-[beeping]
-[door opens]

[Cortana]
Chief, do not touch the artifact.

Each time you do, it stresses
your heart and nervous system.

[father] John!

What did we talk about?

-[dog barks]
-1 asked you what you're drawing.

Let's have this be the end
of all this nonsense, John.

Mom! I don't want to do it!

[groaning]

[father] Bury it, son.

Another one?

See how they go together?

-[gasps, pants]
-[Cortana] Ohh.

[John whimpers, pants]

There's a second artifact.

-Are you sure?
-I drew it.

Over and over.

My mother was there.

My father buried...

I saw... I must have seen...

What if the second artifact
is what we buried?

[Cortana] Chief, your blood pressure
is dangerously elevated.

-We need to return to barracks right--
-Ice rings.

The planet that I lived on
had rings of ice around it.

-How many planets have rings on your list?
-Seen from the planet's surface?

Yes.

Only three.

Show me.

[birds tweeting]

[John] This is the place.

I'm sure of it.

[Cortana] Eridanus 1.

But how could I have been here?
Eridanus is uninhabited.

It wasn't always.

The planet was a select site
for the Reach for Life project.

Reach for Life is an ambitious feat
of human ingenuity.

Teams of UNSC biologists,
botanists, and geophysicists

designed and built the installation
as a self-sustaining ecosystem.

The goal: To seed life
on otherwise barren planets

and hence to extend the reach
of humankind in the galaxy.

I'm from here.

That's according
to the promotional material.

So this is where I lived.

Based on your memories,
it's highly likely.

What do you mean, "based on my memories"?
Can't you just check the records?

The operational files were lost
when the program was abruptly terminated.

Why? What happened?

A plague carried in
on an unauthorized transport ship.

It spread quickly,
killing off most of the population.

There was no cure.

What about my parents?

Survivors were evacuated to Ehilend,
where you were adopted at age Six--

Cortana!

What happened to my parents?

In accordance
with Emergency Contact Protocol Upsilon,

the planet was sealed off
to contain the virus.

I have no other data.

Oh. I'm sorry, Chief, I...

-[door opens]
-[Halsey] John, what's going on?

-Dr. Halsey.
-Why are you armored up?

-[door closes]
-When I removed my pellet,

I realized that an altered hormonal state
might affect my interactions

-with the artifact.
-Removed your pellet?

There were two artifacts.

The one that I found on Madrigal
and another one that...

goes with it somehow, and...

I saw it as a child on Eridanus II.

Are you sure?

The images that I've been seeing...

[door closes]

...they're memories.

My memories.

Of my family.

We'll send some probes to Eridanus Il.

-We'll start a survey, and--
-No.

I'm going.

Send a probe.
Stare at all the data you want.

I need to see it for myself.

John...

I'll come with you.

[Kwan] ECAM panel two.

FMS? Where the hell is it?

-[electricity crackles]
-Ow! Damn it!

Ow.

-[Soren] These old birds...
-[gasps]

...they're not like the new UNSC ships.

FMS is on the other side.

I'm going to free Madrigal,
and you can't stop me.

I could kill you
for trying to steal my favorite ship.

That would stop you.

Listen, Soren,

if I can just find my father's generals,

I'll join the fight against Vinsher.

-1, uh... I have money.
-You got nothin'.

My family is rich.

-How rich?
-Deuterium rich.

You think what's left
of your old man's army's

got what it takes to take on Vinsher?

Not your problem.

All you have to do is get me to them
and you get paid.

-Just like that?
-Just like that.

Deuterium money, huh?

I swear, you won't regret it.

Oh, I know I won't regret it.
I'm gonna get paid either way.

If not from you,
then from the bounty on your head.

You get me?

That's Sangheili.

Fragments of the Gladius's
last transmission.

Electromagnetic scatter
corrupted the signal.

A.l's been able
to partially reconstruct it,

so no idea who's doing the talking.

It's probably an Elite. They run the show.
Grunts are chatty, but not over comms.

So, what are they saying?

I'll work on it... [sighs]
soon as I recover from my system crash.

-Power surge?
-No, it was after that,

right about the time
Parangosky created parallel teams.

Dr. Halsey's headed off on a mission,

away from Fleetcom
and away from the artifact.

Keep your critical data behind a firewall
and use your time wisely.

[distorted voice] Got it.

[Halsey] So, this is it.

It's what Cortana was able to generate
based on John's description.

You saw what the smaller one
was capable of.

Can you imagine the combined potential?

You really think we'll find
the other piece on Eridanus?

Or is John just imagining it?

[Halsey] It's impossible to say.

The mind is certainly capable
of invention.

Particularly when
we're lost in the dark...

and desperate.

But if we want to separate
what's real from what's imagined...

we really have no choice.

We have to see for ourselves.

And if returning to Eridanus
brings back other memories for John...

the truth could bring us all down.

[Halsey] That is what Cortana is for.
