Halo (2022–…): Season 1, Episode 7 - Episode #1.7 - full transcript
Previously on Halo.
But war need not be the answer.
Vinsher's a fool.
Jin Ha, tell our young one here,
either Madrigal is free,
or it's not.
Papa! No!
Covenant forces
on planet Madrigal neutralized.
One survivor.
Keep her safe. Promise me.
I give you my word.
You should not have returned.
Vinsher allowed us
to collect our dead,
but the revolution is over.
Kwan Ha, an instigator.
I need her removed.
Your father visited
a group in the desert.
- Mystics.
- What did they tell him?
Our real reason
for being on Madrigal.
Where can I find these Mystics?
We're about to have
Vinsher's
entire army on our ass.
Let's go.
You owe me one ship
and a shitload
of deuterium money.
You need to face reality.
Your freedom fighter days
are over.
No one's going to step up.
There ain't no more heroes.
Wow, Kwan,
how did you do that?
I'll never tell.
...20 feet into the well
before he remembered
he was holding
a flaming torch.
Oh, no!
Nearly blew himself
to pieces, the dumb bastard.
- Pass my bowl.
- So, what did you do?
What did I do? What could I do?
I put him on the day shift.
I don't--
I don't get it.
You don't need a torch
on the day shift.
Oh, Professor,
your dinner's getting cold.
My apologies to the chef.
I found this one wandering
around like a lost puppy.
General Ha, I'm sorry, you're
eating. I didn't mean to...
Nonsense. Join us.
You look like
you could use a meal.
That's very kind.
You've just
enlisted, is that right?
Yes, ma'am. My name's Ruben.
I'm from Castra.
Welcome to the fight,
young man.
Thank you, General Terne.
Take a seat
with the wee ones.
Let the grownups talk, eh?
Show us the trick again,
Kwan. Again.
Not now. Beat it.
Some news from Madrigal City.
Two divisions of Marines
just pulled out,
and they were in a hurry.
They're going to send more.
They always do.
From what I hear, it's happening
all across the outer colonies.
The UNSC's spread thin.
They're on the run.
I'll take any retreat
as a chance to move forward.
But Agatha is right.
Take nothing for granted.
Aren't you handsome.
Nice to meet you.
I'm Ruben. I'm--
Ruben from Castra.
I heard.
What?
I'm sorry.
I don't speak your--
So, tell me,
Ruben from Castra,
what will you do
after the war?
- After the war?
- Mm.
Um... I don't know.
I'm guessing you grew up
working the heavy water rigs.
Will you go back to that?
I... I guess.
Then nothing really changes
for you, does it?
What do you mean?
I mean, even if we win the war
against the UNSC
and you don't die,
you'll still be
out there pumping fuel
like the rest of us.
I'm fighting
for a free Madrigal.
- So was my mother.
- That's enough!
If you're going to feed
your soldiers, Father...
at least don't feed them lies.
- Anywhere but here.
- Kwan!

You believe that shit?
Goddamn flock of quad wings
got sucked up my intake valves
about a thousand feet
over the surface of Madrigal.
Oh, no! What did you do?
Well, I did what I always do.
I fell back on my training.
I aimed for a sand dune
and brought it down
in a controlled roll...
for about a mile and a half.
Incredible! What an absolutely
incredible story.
It is, isn't it?
- Here's to you.
- Yes.
Here's to me.
Oh, shit. Let's go home.
These aren't my people.
Bang, I take out two
UNSC Broadswords with one shot,
the old seven-ten split.
But the squad leader's
still on my tail,
so I'm bobbing and weaving,
when, boom, I hit those
goddamn quad wings.
No!
Whole ship
starts breaking apart.
Next thing I know,
I'm ass-up, doing five G's.
- No way!
- Then I see it.
- The safe I just stole...
- Come on!
...loaded with cash,
comes flying past me--
right out the front window,
I kid you not.
Good thing is, it took out
the ship behind me.
Now, I'm about ten seconds
from lights out, huh?
And suddenly...
I had a vision.
I saw the love of my life.
I saw my boy,
my beautiful boy.
Aww!
I saw everything
crystal clear.
It was...
it was beautiful.
So beautiful.
- Aww.
- Cheers.
What happened to the girl?
A rebel girl from Madrigal
with a bounty on her head.
Soren had her
here on the Rubble.
But did he share her
with his partner?
No.
He took off with her to collect
the bounty for himself.
The next thing you know,
he's back.
No girl, no bounty, no ship.
So, what happened?
Is there a problem, friend?
We had a plan, Trokan and me.
A big score.
Something in it
for all of us.
You didn't want to hear it.
I run my business
the way I see fit.
So we should go hungry.
You appear to be eating
pretty well.
People are talking.
Oh, yeah?
♪♪♪
And what are they saying?
Like...
maybe Soren's lost a step.
That right?
Soren, darling,
forget about it.
No, no.
I want to hear
what he has to say.
Little Squirrel
finally gathered his nuts.
So...
you tell me.
Have I lost a step?
He's had too much
to drink.
Come, sweetheart.
It's a party.
Yeah.
Let's party.
Leave that alone.
- I said leave it!
- Kwan Ha.
How do you know my name?
Hey!
♪♪♪
You're the women my father
came out here to see...
aren't you?
I am Desiderata.
My father's dead now.
He was killed
defending Madrigal...
because of something
you told him.
This place changed him.
I want to know
what you said to him.
And why should we tell you?
Because...
because I'm going to finish
what he started.
It didn't start
with your father.
There were others
in your family before him.
I'm all that's left
of my family.
Everyone else is dead, so...
tell me what you told
my father.
Please.
You're not ready.
I'm not a child. I...
I came all this way
by myself.
I've risked everything
looking for you!
You're not ready.
I took on a man twice my size
and won.
I'll fight you all
if I have to!
Your rage blinds you
to the truth.
Rage...
is all I have left.
♪♪♪
Madrigal.
Here I have been hurled
headlong, flaming,
from the ethereal sky
with hideous ruin
and combustion
down to bottomless perdition,
there to dwell.
A dungeon, horrible,
on all sides,
as one great furnace flamed.
Yet from those flames,
no light...
but rather darkness, visible.
Better to reign in hell.
Touché.
You're certain that the pirate
left Madrigal by himself?
The cargo captain swore to it
under vigorous questioning.
Little Kwan Ha,
all alone in the wide world.
You suppose she went
looking for them?
If we couldn't find them,
she won't.
Besides, those desert witches
didn't do her father any good.
Those witches are what made
Jin Ha so dangerous.
Franco failed me, Pete,
and you will not
make the same mistake.
We come at her hard this time.
Yes, sir.
She will find no safe haven.
♪♪♪
Outta the way!
Come on!
Hola, guapa.
Huh?
Hey, ladies,
what's happening, huh? Nice.
What the hell?
Kids.
Get to work.
♪♪♪
Just in time.
You know, Squirrel,
I've been thinking.
Soren, I was drunk,
and I just got out of line--
I've been thinking...
I haven't appreciated you enough
for all that you've done.
In fact, I've been taking you
for granted.
Well, it's...
It's all right.
Don't worry, boss.
I got another tug
ready to go.
You still planning
that score?
You're serious?
Tell me about it.
It's a UNSC cargo ship.
My guy says they only got
one security officer on board.
What are they hauling?
That's the best part.
Military-grade slipspace
engine drivers.
Imagine if we got our hands
on one of those.
Nobody could outrun us.
This is the big score
we've been looking for, boss.
And I've thought of everything.
Let's do some business.
♪♪♪
Madrigal
was once very different.
Barren and unforgiving.
Food was scarce,
water even scarcer.
Life was a struggle
for the first pioneers.
Your forefather's forefather
was one of them.
One night, he left his tribe
in search of water.
He walked deep into the desert
and dug a well.
There he discovered the fuel
that now sustains
the planet.
But his reward
was so much greater.
At the well,
he said he met a being...
a visitor from another time.
Perhaps from
another existence.
It explained to him
his true purpose,
his responsibility...
which has been handed on
to future generations.
To your father...
and now to you.
So, what is it?

Trokan.
I'm sorry.

Was that
really necessary?
- He could lose his toes.
- Good.
That'll teach him to think
before every step he takes.
And the others?
They got to learn.
And what are they learning?
Who's in charge,
for starters.
I've been too easy on 'em.
Fear is a hell of a motivator.
Trust me.
Soren.
- Soren.
- It's that girl.
That pain-in-the-ass
little girl.
Ah, shit,
it doesn't matter now.
She's all alone out there.
If the desert doesn't get her,
Vinsher's goons
have probably already
found her and carved her up.
Kwan Ha is alive.
How do you know?
Because Vinsher
just tripled the bounty.
Tripled.

Such a tragedy.
So much death.
And, in the end,
it wasn't even the UNSC
that did Jin in.
Stubborn fool.
Never could tell
who his real friends were.
Jin knew whom
he could trust...
and who'd betray him.
It was his delusions
that betrayed him.
Tell me, General,
and be honest,
what good did Jin Ha do
for Madrigal?
- He gave us pride.
- Pride?
That's not a word
that I would associate
with a colony
of hole-diggers.
And what did this pride bring?
Jin had them stop drilling
for the only resource
their filthy planet produced
and take up arms.
No. Not stop drilling.
Just protect certain areas
for the people of Madrigal.
Agatha...
You and I knew
Jin Ha very well.
This was a sick man,
as was the whole Ha family.
Sick, delusional, and weak.
And yet you are
so deathly afraid of them.
Where is the girl?
Even if I knew,
I wouldn't tell you.

runs through here
to the main Sky Pipe

We fill up the pipe

Bam, the whole place

- No more Vinsher.
- And no more us.
There's a steel vault
a hundred feet across the way.
- I see it.
- As long as we're inside
the vault when the pipe
explodes, we're probably safe.
Probably.
You wanted a plan?
That's it.
If we are going to fight,
we meet them on my terms.
The people
of Madrigal need you!
- Come out.
- All right.
Join us!
Long as I still get to kill
some people.
No harm will come to you.
Of that, I give you
my solemn word.
I loved your father, Kwan.
He was like a brother to me.
This is Kwan Ha,
daughter of Jin Ha.
Madrigal does not
belong to you.
It does not belong
to the UNSC.
It belongs to the people
of Madrigal.
I don't want to fight you,

If we couldn't find them,

You know, Squirrel,
I've been thinking.
Soren, I was drunk,
and I just got out of line--
I've been thinking...
I haven't appreciated you enough
for all that you've done.
In fact, I've been taking you
for granted.
Well, it's...
It's all right.
Don't worry, boss.
I got another tug
ready to go.
You still planning
that score?
You're serious?
Tell me about it.
It's a UNSC cargo ship.
My guy says they only got
one security officer on board.
What are they hauling?
That's the best part.
Military-grade slipspace
engine drivers.
Imagine if we got our hands
on one of those.
Nobody could outrun us.
This is the big score
we've been looking for, boss.
And I've thought of everything.
Let's do some business.

Madrigal
was once very different.
Barren and unforgiving.
Food was scarce,
water even scarcer.
Life was a struggle
for the first pioneers.
Your forefather's forefather
was one of them.
One night, he left his tribe
in search of water.
He walked deep into the desert
and dug a well.
There he discovered the fuel
that now sustains
the planet.
But his reward
was so much greater.
At the well,
he said he met a being...
a visitor from another time.
Perhaps from
another existence.
It explained to him
his true purpose,
his responsibility...
which has been handed on
to future generations.
To your father...
and now to you.

Such a tragedy.

And, in the end,
it wasn't even the UNSC

Stubborn fool.
Never could tell
who his real friends were.
Jin knew whom
he could trust...
and who'd betray him.
It was his delusions
that betrayed him.
Tell me, General,
and be honest,
what good did Jin Ha do
for Madrigal?
- He gave us pride.
- Pride?
That's not a word
that I would associate
with a colony
of hole-diggers.
And what did this pride bring?
Jin had them stop drilling
for the only resource
their filthy planet produced
and take up arms.
No. Not stop drilling.
Just protect certain areas
for the people of Madrigal.

Jin Ha very well.
