Transcript
00:00Oh
00:22Enemy is everywhere!
00:26Enemy is everywhere!
00:30Wait! Don't kill me, I surrender!
00:34Where's the quarian?
00:36She's not here, I don't know where she is, that's the truth.
00:40He's no use to you now. Let me kill him.
00:42Wait, wait, I don't know where the quarian is, but I know where you can find her.
00:46The quarian isn't here, said you'd only deal with the shadow broker himself.
00:50Face to face? Impossible. Even I was hired through an agent.
00:52Nobody meets the shadow broker, ever.
00:54Even I don't know his true identity.
00:56But she didn't know that.
00:58I told her I'd set a meeting up.
01:00But when she shows up, it'll be Saren's men waiting for her.
01:02Give me the location, now.
01:04Here on the wards, the back alley by the markets.
01:06She's supposed to meet them right now.
01:08You can make it if you hurry.
01:10Give me the location, now.
01:12Here on the wards, the back alley by the markets.
01:14She's supposed to meet them right now.
01:16You can make it if you hurry.
01:18What are you doing?
01:40What are you doing?
01:41The shadow broker paid me to kill him.
01:43I don't leave jobs. Half done.
01:45We don't shoot unarmed prisoners.
01:49How many people died because of him?
01:51He brought this on himself.
01:53Besides, we have more pressing concerns.
01:57That quarian's dead if we don't go now.
02:15I'm on it!
02:29I'm on it!
02:39Pull the line!
02:41I've lost shields!
02:57I've lost shields!
03:11We got them all, Shepard.
03:19We got them all, Shepard.
03:41We got them all, Shepard.
03:51Did you bring it?
03:53Where's the shadow broker?
03:54Where's Fist?
03:55They'll be here.
03:57Where's the evidence?
03:58No way.
03:59The deal's off.
04:00Enemy contact!
04:04Shield disabled!
04:17Charging up.
04:18I've lost shields!
04:19This set me up!
04:21I'm charging up.
04:24I've lost shield!
04:25This set me up. I knew I couldn't trust him.
04:29Were you hurt in the fight?
04:31I know how to look after myself. Not that I don't appreciate the help. Who are you?
04:38My name's Shepard. I'm looking for evidence to prove Saren's a traitor.
04:42Then I have a chance to repay you for saving my life. But not here. We need to go somewhere safe.
04:49We could take her to the Human Embassy.
04:51Your ambassador will want to see this anyway.
04:57You're not making my life easy, Shepard.
05:00Firefights in the wards and all-out assault on Korra's den. Do you know how many...
05:05Who's this? Aquarian? What are you up to, Shepard?
05:11Making your day, Ambassador. She has information linking Saren to the Geth.
05:16Really? Maybe you'd better start at the beginning, Miss...
05:20My name is Tali. Tali Zora Naraya.
05:24We don't see many Quarians here. Why did you leave the flotilla?
05:27I was on my pilgrimage. My right of passage into adulthood.
05:33I've never heard of this before.
05:35It is a tradition among my people. When we reach maturity, we leave the ships of our parents and our people behind.
05:42Alone, we search the stars, only returning to the flotilla once we have discovered something of value.
05:49In this way, we prove ourselves worthy of adulthood.
05:53What kinds of things do you look for?
05:54It could be resources like food or fuel, or some type of useful technology, or even knowledge that will make life easier on the flotilla.
06:04Through our pilgrimage, we prove that we will contribute to the community, rather than being a burden on our limited resources.
06:10Tell us what you found.
06:12During my travels, I began hearing reports of Geth. Since they drove my people into exile, the Geth have never ventured beyond the Vale. I was curious.
06:22I tracked a patrol of Geth to an uncharted world. I waited for one to become separated from its unit. Then I disabled it and removed its memory core.
06:33I thought the Geth fried their memory cores when they died. Some kind of defense mechanism.
06:38How did you manage to preserve the memory core?
06:41My people created the Geth. If you're quick, careful, and lucky, small caches of data can sometimes be saved.
06:48Most of the core was wiped clean. But I salvaged something from its audio banks.
06:57Eden Prime was a major victory. The beacon has brought us one step closer to finding the conduit.
07:06That's Saren's voice. This proves he was involved in the attack.
07:10He said Eden Prime brought him one step closer to finding the conduit. Any idea what that means?
07:15The conduit must have something to do with the beacon. Maybe it's some kind of Prothean technology.
07:23Like a weapon.
07:26Wait, there's more. Saren wasn't working alone.
07:33Eden Prime was a major victory.
07:36The beacon has brought us one step closer to finding the conduit.
07:40And one step closer to the return of the Reapers.
07:47I don't recognize that other voice. The one talking about Reapers.
07:51Are they some kind of new alien species?
07:54According to the memory core, the Reapers were a hyper-advanced machine race that existed 50,000 years ago.
08:01The Reapers hunted the Protheans to total extinction, and then they vanished.
08:05At least, that's what the Geth believe.
08:08Sounds a little far-fetched.
08:12The vision on Eden Prime. I understand it now.
08:16I saw the Protheans being wiped out by the Reapers.
08:20The Geth revere the Reapers as gods. The pinnacle of non-organic life.
08:24And they believe Saren knows how to bring the Reapers back.
08:27The Council is just going to love this.
08:32This is a lot to handle. They might just ignore everything we tell them.
08:36No matter what they think about the rest of this, those audio files prove Saren's a traitor.
08:41The Captain's right. We need to present this to the Council right away.
08:46What about her? Aquarian?
08:50My name is Tali.
08:51You saw me in the alley, Commander. You know what I can do. Let me come with you.
08:58I thought you were on your pilgrimage.
09:00The pilgrimage proves we are willing to give of ourselves for the greater good.
09:05What does it say about me if I turn my back on this?
09:11Saren is a danger to the entire galaxy.
09:14My pilgrimage can wait.
09:17I'll take all the help I can get.
09:19Thanks. You won't regret this.
09:24Anderson and I will go ahead to get things ready with the Council.
09:28Take a few minutes to collect yourself, then meet us in the Tower.
09:31I'll take a few minutes to catch you.
11:03Unbelieving, I know this Septimus, and he could not learn my secrets. The only way he could learn them is from the Asari Consort.
11:13Not true. Look at this.
11:17Confused. This is difficult to fathom. If the Turian could learn this on his own, dismayed, anyone can discover my secret.
11:30The Septimus is a powerful man, and it wasn't easy for him to find.
11:33Relieved. I suppose you are correct, human. Thank you for this information. Startled realization. I must speak with the Consort. She will be most displeased with my actions. Anxious request.
11:52Please, human. If you will excuse me, I must go now.
11:59I'm sure she'll forgive you. It was an honest mistake.
12:03Doubtful. Perhaps you are right, human. I can only hope so.
12:08Thankful. That was a great thing you did, Commander. Approving.
12:16You see, then, not all humans are as you say.
12:22I'm sure the Earth Clan stands to profit from this in some way.
12:28Apologetic.
12:30Do not listen to my volus compatriot.
12:34It was a good thing you did, regardless of your intentions.
12:39Excuse me, Commander Shepard. Could you spare a moment of your time?
13:01Commander Shepard?
13:03My name is Samesh Bhatia.
13:05Forgive the intrusion, but I have nowhere else to turn.
13:07It's no trouble. What can I do for you?
13:11My wife was a Marine.
13:13She was in the 212 on Eden Prime.
13:15Wait. The 212?
13:17Your wife was serviceman Nirali Bhatia.
13:19I'm Gunnery Chief Ashley Williams. I served in her unit.
13:22Chief Williams? It is a pleasure.
13:25Nirali spoke of you with great respect.
13:28I'm so sorry for your loss, Mr. Bhatia.
13:30Nirali was a good woman.
13:32What can we do for you?
13:34I've requested that my wife's body be returned to me for cremation,
13:37but the military has refused my request.
13:40Why did they refuse your request?
13:41There's got to be some reason.
13:43I don't know.
13:44All I know is that they have declared it impossible for my wife to be returned to me.
13:49There's no reason for your wife's body to be held like this.
13:52Just wait here.
13:53The man in charge of my case is Mr. Bosker.
13:56When I last saw him, he was in the expensive bar over there.
13:59Thank you for your time.
14:00I just want to give my wife a proper funeral, and the respect she deserves.
14:05My goodness, you're Commander Shepard.
14:31Your activity's made for quite a briefing in the diplomatic corps.
14:33Is there something I can do to assist you?
14:36Yes.
14:37A man named Samesh Bhatia is having some trouble claiming his wife's body.
14:42Ah, Mr. Bhatia.
14:44A good man in an understandably frustrating position.
14:47I wish I could help him.
14:49Serviceman Nirali Bhatia died on Eden Prime, as Mr. Bhatia no doubt told you.
14:55Her wounds are inconsistent with any type of weapon damage we've seen before.
14:59That is why her body is being held.
15:01You think her body might be dangerous or contaminated?
15:05No, Commander.
15:06Nirali Bhatia is not dangerous.
15:08Her body is in fact extremely valuable to the Alliance.
15:12The tests we're conducting may lead to better defenses against Geth attacks.
15:17Respectfully, Serviceman Bhatia may save more lives in death than she did in life.
15:22I understand what you're trying to do, but holding the body is wrong.
15:27Commander, you of all people should understand how far we must go to protect humanity.
15:33Not if we lose our humanity in the process.
15:36I'm out there fighting to stop crap like this.
15:39All right, Commander.
15:41You win.
15:42It was hard enough refusing Mr. Bhatia.
15:44I'm not going to risk an incident by refusing you.
15:46Tell Samesh that the body is being shipped back to Earth.
15:50I'll go now to see to it myself.
15:51Hello again, Commander.
16:16Has there been any word?
16:18I reminded Mr. Bosker what we're fighting for.
16:20Your wife is coming home.
16:24I will return home and begin my preparations.
16:27It does not bring me happiness.
16:29But it may bring me peace.
16:32Goodbye, Commander.
16:35Samesh?
16:36I don't know if this helps, but your wife...
16:39Nirali loved you very much.
16:42She missed your cooking.
16:44And she played recordings of you every night before she went to sleep.
16:48I know, Miss Williams.
16:50But thank you.
16:53It's nice to hear it again.
16:54I don't know.
17:24Come on. Udine is presenting the Quarion's evidence to the Council.
17:30Eden Prime was a major victory. The beacon has brought us one step closer to finding the conduit.
17:38And one step closer to the return of the Reapers.
17:42You wanted proof? There it is.
17:45This evidence is irrefutable, Ambassador.
17:48Saren will be stripped of his Spectre status, and all efforts will be made to bring him in to answer for his crimes.
17:56I recognize the other voice, the one speaking with Saren.
17:59Matriarch Benezia.
18:01Who's she?
18:03Matriarchs are powerful Asari who have entered the final stage of their lives.
18:07Revered for their wisdom and experience, they serve as guides and mentors to my people.
18:13Matriarch Benezia is a powerful biotic, and she had many followers.
18:16She will make a formidable ally for Saren.
18:19I'm more interested in the Reapers. What do you know about them?
18:23Only what was extracted from the Geth's memory core.
18:26The Reapers were an ancient race of machines that wiped out the Protheos.
18:30Then they vanished.
18:32The Geth believe the Reapers are gods, and Saren is the prophet for their return.
18:37We think the conduit is the key to bringing them back.
18:40Saren's searching for it. That's why he attacked Eden Prime.
18:44Do we even know what this conduit is?
18:47Saren thinks he can bring back the Reapers. That's bad enough.
18:50Listen to what you're saying.
18:52Saren wants to bring back the machines that wiped out all life in the galaxy?
18:56Impossible. It has to be.
18:58Where did the Reapers go?
18:59Why did they vanish?
19:00How come we found no trace of their existence?
19:03If they were real, we'd have found something.
19:06I tried to warn you about Saren, and you refused to face the truth.
19:10Don't make the same mistake again.
19:12This is different.
19:14You proved Saren betrayed the Council.
19:16We all agree he's using the Geth to search for the conduit, but we don't really know why.
19:20The Reapers are obviously just a myth, Commander.
19:24A convenient lie to cover Saren's true purpose.
19:26A legend he is using to bend the Geth to his will.
19:30Fifty thousand years ago, the Reapers wiped out all galactic civilization.
19:34If Saren finds the conduit, it will happen again.
19:38Saren is a rogue agent on the run for his life.
19:41He no longer has the rights or resources of a Spectre.
19:44The Council has stripped him of his position.
19:46That is not good enough.
19:48You know he's hiding somewhere in the Traverse.
19:51Send your fleet in!
19:53A fleet cannot track down one man.
19:57A Citadel fleet could secure the entire region.
20:00Keep the Geth from attacking any more of our colonies.
20:03Or it could trigger a war with the Terminus systems.
20:06We won't be dragged into a galactic confrontation over a few dozen human colonies.
20:11I can take Saren down.
20:13The Commander's right.
20:14There is a way to stop Saren that doesn't require fleets or armies.
20:18No! It's too soon.
20:21Humanity is not ready for the responsibilities that come with joining the Spectres.
20:26You don't have to send a fleet into the Traverse, and the Ambassador gets his human Spectre.
20:31Everybody's happy.
20:33Commander Shepard, step forward.
20:48It is the decision of the Council that you be granted all the powers and privileges of the Special Tactics and Reconnaissance Branch of the Citadel.
21:05Spectres are not trained, but chosen.
21:21Individuals forged in the fire of service and battle.
21:24Those whose actions elevate them above the rank and file.
21:28Spectres are an ideal, a symbol, the embodiment of courage, determination, and self-reliance.
21:35They are the right hand of the Council, instruments of our will.
21:39Spectres bear a great burden.
21:41They are protectors of galactic peace, both our first and last line of defense.
21:46The safety of the galaxy is theirs to uphold.
21:51You are the first human Spectre, Commander.
21:53This is a great accomplishment for you and your entire species.
21:57I'm honored, Counselor.
21:59We're sending you into the Traverse after Saren.
22:02He's a fugitive from Justice, so you are authorized to use any means necessary to apprehend or eliminate him.
22:07I'll find him.
22:08This meeting of the Council is adjourned.
22:17Congratulations, Commander.
22:19We've got a lot of work to do, Shepard.
22:21You're going to need a ship, a crew, supplies.
22:24You'll get access to special equipment and training now.
22:27You should go down to the CSEC Academy and speak to the Spectre Requisitions Officer.
22:32Anderson, come with me.
22:33I'll need your help to set all this up.
22:38I expected your ambassador to be more grateful.
22:46He didn't even thank you.
22:47Until I find Saren, I haven't done anything.
22:50Come on.
22:52Right behind you, Commander.
22:53Commander.
