HALO SEASON 01 # EPISODE 03 "Emergence"

Previously, on HALO...

Strap in.

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.

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.

You bring it to life.

What do you mean?

You are different...

than the one they have. - The one they have?

The ring... that's what they want!

What is that ring?

The end...

of life as we know it.

I have to go back.

You running back to Halsey.

You can't just leave me here.

Promise me.

Keep her safe.

I give you my word.

Why did you come back?

There was no one I could trust.

You made the right choice.

We're gonna do...

great things together.

Metals and plastics...

are to be kept separate.

Contaminated bags will be rejected...

and extra shifts imposed.

Come on, let's go faster.

Let's go, you little bastards!

Move!

Come on, let's go faster.

Hurry up!

"They ran among the broad..."

"Ma-Margolia trees..."

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

"This was a new..."

"fron-tier 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.

You!

Shh!

The next shift day has been extended...

Do you like it?

I love this.

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.

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.

Hey! -

Get back to work!

Run! Let's go! Hey!

Get over here!

Come back here, you little shit!

Makee, come on!

Come on!

Useless little shit! - Stop it!

Stop it!

Forget it! - Det!

Let's go!

No.

Grab her!

I've gotcha!

Here come the Grunts!

I'll teach you a lesson.

Mm.

HALO SEASON 01 # EPISODE 03 "Emergence"

HALO SEASON 01 # EPISODE 03 "Emergence"

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 is 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.

I 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?

Thank you, Adun. - Mm-hmm.

How are you feeling?

I'm assuming you cloned me to obtain organs...

or at least 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.

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 neuro-electrical imaging.

The Cortana system's viable?

Mm.

So you'll integrate her into a working Spartan?

That's next.

I bet it'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.

He was always willful.

And none of this bothers you.

Should it?

What about Miranda?

Our daughter.

I think that 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...

would you actually be able to go through with it?

What happened?

Progress.

This isn't necessary.

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