  |  |

  |  |

 | KINSLER:  What the devil are you doing out in the old city?
  |  | 
 |    |  | 
 | SADIE:  There was...something wrong with the train.
  |  |

 | KINSLER:  You don't say...

  |  | 
 |    |  | 
 | KINSLER:  That's a very good question...
  |  | 
 |    |  | 
 | SADIE:  My dad.  He's at work.
  |  | 
 |    |  | 
 | KINSLER:  The data-center below the ONI building?
  |  | 
 |    |  | 
 | KINSLER:  No, I don't think so.  There are too many Covenant in that
  |  | 
 | district.  
  |  | 
 |    |  |

 | KINSLER:  The police department has an emergency bunker outside the city

  |  | 
 |    |  | 
 | SADIE:  That's very kind of you, Commissioner.  But I can't, I'm sorry.  If
  |  | 
 | you would please take me to the city center--
  |  | 
 |    |  | 
 | KINSLER:  Such a serious young women.  Just like your mother... 'New 
  |  | 
 | Mombasa's most passionate public defender.'
  |  | 
 |    |  | 
 | KINSLER:  Too bad her last client really was a sick, murdering bastard.
  |  | 
 |    |  | 
 | KINSLER: (sliding across the seat closer to Sadie) She had your eyes...
  |  | 
 |    |  | 
 | SADIE: (into her Chatter) Vergil, stop the car!
  |  | 
 |    |  | 
 | KINSLER:  As police commissioner it’s my job to uphold the law.  And I'm 
  |  | 
 | afraid this city has very strict, personal privacy statues.
  |  | 
 |    |  | 
 | KINSLER:  My car is off the grid, Sadie.  As far as Vergil is concerned,
  |  | 
 | you just disappeared...
  |  | 
 |    |  | 
 | [SOUND:  Sadie slaps Kinsler's face]
  |  | 
 |    |  | 
 | KINSLER: (laughs) Assaulting a police officer.  That's a serious offence.
  |  |

 | SADIE:  Don't come any closer!
  |  | 
 |    |  | 
 | KINSLER: (laughs) Just like your mother...

  |  |

  |  | 
 |    |  | 
 | KINSLER:  Let go of my coat!  What do you think you're doing?
  |  | 
 |    |  | 
 | MIKE:  My job.
  |  |

  |  | 
 |    |  |

  |  |

 | [SOUND:  Mike punches Kinsler again.]
  |  | 
 |    |  | 
 | MIKE:  Commissioner, I'm taking the car.
  |  |

 | MIKE:  Kinsler had it coming.  I've been his driver for two weeks?  Seen 
  |  | 
 | enough to last a lifetime...
  |  | 
 |    |  | 
 | MIKE:  Name's Mike.  Mike Branley.
  |  | 
 |    |  | 
 | SADIE:  Sadie Endesha.
  |  | 
 |    |  | 
 | SADIE:  You know for a cop, you make a pretty good guardian angel.
  |  | 
 |    |  | 
 | MIKE:  Ex-cop.
  |  | 
 |    |  | 
 | SADIE:  Yeah...  Sorry about that.
  |  | 
 |    |  |

 | SADIE:  Mike.  I need to get back over the bridge, to the ONI building
  |  | 
 | downtown.
  |  | 
 |    |  | 
 | MIKE:  Well that's a problem, because I need to keep away from Covenant
  |  | 
 | plasma fire.
  |  | 
 |    |  | 
 | SADIE:  OK...just drop me off here.
  |  | 
 |    |  | 
 | MIKE:  Don't be stupid!  What are you going to do?
  |  | 
 |    |  | 
 | MIKE:  Fight your way through a few million refugees just so the Covenant can 
  |  | 
 | kill you a little faster?
  |  |

  |  |

 | DR ENDESHA:  Where are you?
  |  | 
 |    |  | 
 | SADIE:  The Old Town Market.  A butcher is giving away his food.
  |  | 
 |    |  | 
 | SADIE:  Too bad it won't keep the Covenant from glassing the city...
  |  | 
 |    |  | 
 | DR ENDESHA:  They won't glass the city!
  |  | 
 |    |  | 
 | SADIE: (walking to the butcher) Hang on, dad...
  |  | 
 |    |  | 
 | DR ENDESHA:  I'm in contact with an ONI officer.  She thinks these Covenant
  |  | 
 | are just a reconnaissance force.
  |  |

  |  | 
 | What where you saying?
  |  | 
 |    |  | 
 | DR ENDESHA: (from the Chatter) Sadie, New Mombasa is the only place on

 | Earth the Covenant are attacking.
  |  | 
 |    |  | 
 | SADIE:  What?  Why?
  |  |

 | data to the UNSC?
  |  | 
 |    |  | 
 |    |  | 
 | DR ENDESHA:  Yes, I might be able to re-configure the traffic congestion

  |  |

 |    |  | 
 | SADIE:  Maybe the ARGUS sniffers can pick up their soldiers too?

 | KINSLER:  Good.  Now, I must say, Sadie.  You play very hard to get.
  |  | 
 |    |  | 
 |    |  | 
 | SADIE:  Bet that makes you angry.
  |  | 
 |    |  | 
 |    |  | 
 | KINSLER:  Oh... quite the opposite.
  |  | 
 |    |  | 
 |    |  | 
 | SADIE: (whispers into Chatter) Vergil... a little help here!
  |  | 
 |    |  | 
 |    |  | 
 | KINSLER:  Your chatter made you easy to track.  But I think you and Vergil
  |  | 
 | have talked quite enough.  Take it off.
  |  | 
 |    |  | 
 |    |  | 
 | [SOUND:  Sadie rips her Chatter off her wrist.]
  |  |

 | KINSLER:  Do you know what I've learned in all my years in politics?
  |  | 
 |    |  | 
 |    |  | 
 | SADIE:  That you're an asshole?
  |  | 
 |    |  | 
 |    |  | 
 | KINSLER:  The value of escalation.  For example, last time we met, Branley
  |  | 
 | hit me with his fist.
  |  | 
 |    |  | 
 |    |  | 
 | MIKE:  Keep talking.  I might do it again.
  |  | 
 |    |  | 
 |    |  | 
 | KINSLER:  I think not.  This time, I have a sub-machine gun.  You see?
  |  | 
 | Escalation....
  |  | 
 |    |  | 
 |    |  | 
 | KINSLER:  Goodbye, Branley.
  |  |

 | SADIE:  Do it and you're a dead man.
  |  | 
 |    |  |

  |  | 
 | how much it pains me when you act so incredibly stupid.

  |  | 
 | you think you are doing?
  |  | 
 |    |  | 
 |    |  | 
 | SADIE:  Escalation.

  |  |

  |  | 
 |    |  | 
 |    |  | 
 | MIKE:  I am not getting into the back of an-- (gags) --Olifant.
  |  | 
 |    |  |

 | SADIE:  Think of it as an armored personal carrier, for the ... smell 
  |  |

 |    |  | 
 |    |  | 
 | MIKE:  Why do we have to ride back here again?
  |  | 
 |    |  | 
 |    |  | 
 | SADIE:  It's the safest way to get to the ONI building.  If we sit in the
  |  | 
 | cab, we're targets.
  |  | 
 |    |  | 
 |    |  |

  |  |

  |  | 
 | Power, data...
  |  | 
 |    |  | 
 |    |  | 
 | DR ENDESHA:  The entire Superintendent infrastructure is close to collapse.

 | I'm doing all I can but--
  |  | 
 |    |  | 
 |    |  | 
 | SADIE:  Dad, you've done an incredible job of keeping Vergil together.

  |  | 
 |    |  |

 | tertiary data-centers.
  |  | 
 |    |  | 
 |    |  | 
 | DR ENDESHA:  I was accessing the damage through the underground cameras, and
  |  | 
 | I saw Covenant splicing cables, patching switches--
  |  | 
 |    |  | 
 |    |  | 
 | MIKE:  Wait-- the Covenant are helping us?!
  |  | 
 |    |  | 
 |    |  | 
 | TOM:  Well, I'll be damned!
  |  |

 | SADIE:  Dad, I just meet my first Brutes.  They didn't seem too helpful.
  |  | 
 |    |  | 
 |    |  | 
 | DR ENDESHA:  No.  The ones in the data-center weren't Brutes-- or any of 
  |  | 
 | the Covenant I've heard about.
  |  | 
 |    |  | 
 |    |  | 
 | DR ENDESHA:  It's a whole new species, Sadie.  And they are actually quite...
  |  | 
 | beautiful.
  |  | 
 |    |  | 
 |    |  | 
 | DR ENDESHA:  They have some sort of automatic defense system, but so long as
  |  | 
 | you don't get too close--
  |  | 
 |    |  | 
 |    |  | 
 | TOM:  You know -- and I'm just thinking out loud here -- maybe this whole

 | TOM:  Number one rule of sales?  Understand exactly what the customer needs.
  |  | 
 | Not what he wants -- what he needs.  You understand?
  |  | 
 |    |  | 
 |    |  | 
 | MIKE:  Tom.  Seriously.  Zip it.
  |  | 
 |    |  | 
 |    |  | 
 | DR ENDESHA:  It's dark in the station.  Switching the camera to thermal...
  |  | 
 |    |  | 
 |    |  | 
 | DR ENDESHA:  Strange...  There aren't any Brutes around.  Usually they never
  |  | 
 | leave them alone.
  |  | 
 |    |  | 
 |    |  | 
 | DR ENDESHA:  Alright, I see six of the new aliens floating in a circle.  
  |  | 
 | They're surrounding a seventh, touching it with their tentacles...
  |  | 
 |    |  | 
 |    |  | 
 | DR ENDESHA:  Amazing!  You wouldn't believe how fast they can move their
  |  | 
 | limbs!
  |  | 
 |    |  | 
 |    |  | 
 | DR ENDESHA:  They're working...  Doing something to the explosives in the

 | go any faster?!
  |  |

  |  | 
 | are dead.  But I think...
  |  | 
 |    |  | 
 |    |  | 
 | DR ENDESHA:  Sadie, I think they gave their lives to free their companion.
  |  | 
 |    |  | 
 |    |  | 
 | DR ENDESHA:  Yes!  Yes, I can see it floating away down the subway tube.  
  |  | 
 | Vergil, keep an eye on that one!

  |  | 
 |    |  | 
 |    |  |

  |  | 
 |    |  |

 | SADIE:  Negotiate?
  |  | 
 |    |  |

 | you want to make the sale.

 | MARSHALL:  Come now.  Get off your Chatter and pay attention.
  |  |

 |    |  | 
 | JIM:  Marshall?  What are you doing here?  Didn't you get fired?
  |  | 
 |    |  |

  |  | 
 | remember how often you didn't listen?
  |  | 
 |    |  | 
 |    |  | 
 | JIM:  You?  You did this?!
  |  | 
 |    |  | 
 |    |  |

 | on.
