Agent Arizona: Season 10

Don't Say It

Carolina and Zone enter a dark room where they see the Director sitting in a chair watching video. They could see a blonde woman in a standard UNSC uniform. 

"Beginning playback." FILSS announces. 

"Leonard, come on, stop it, put that thing down. You're gonna make me late, they're waiting for me." The woman says on the video. 

"Hello, Director." Carolina says. 

"Hello, Agent Carolina. Hello, Agent Arizona. Would you like to watch this file with me?" The Director asks. 

"No." Zone replies. 

"Play it again, FILSS." The Director orders. 

"Director?" 

"Again!" The Director says pounding the arm of his chair. 

"So, this is what you've become?" Carolina says sadly. 

"I just need to watch this. I think I have a way...a way to bring her back right this time." 

"The authorities are hunting you now. If we found you, they will too." Zone states. 

"I just need a bit more time." The Director pleads. 

"No!" Epsilon shouts appearing and floating over to the Director. "You've had your freaking time. You have to answer for what you did. To the Meta, to Washington, to Zone, to Carolina, to me and to her! To Texas!" 

"Hello, Epsilon. You came all this way just to see me?" 

"I'm here to remember what you've done. Somebody has to!" Church says spitefully. 

"Epsilon..." 

"Not all of us got off scott free, Zone." Epsilon states. 

"(Delta) He was brilliant...(Theta) and we trusted him. (Gamma) But he lied to us. He twisted...(Omega) and tortured us, and used us! (Sigma) Manipulated us for his own purposes, and for what? For this? This...shadow?!" 

Epsilon turns normal again. "He needs to pay." Carolina removes her helmet and stares at the Director. The Director removes his glasses and hesitantly looks up at Carolina. Zone watches his lover's expression change from anger to sadness. She leans down, and kisses him softly on the forehead.

"Just a bit more time." The Director begs. 

"Come on, guys. We're leaving." Carolina motions to the exit. 

"I thought we came all this way to kill him." Xi says confused. 

"Xi, remember what Church learned in the memory unit? You need to let go. Your past doesn't define who you are. It just gives you the starting point for who you're going to be." Zone smiles at her compassion. He begins to follow when the Director holds up a hand to stop him. 

"Agent Arizona?" 

"Yes, Director?" 

"Would you be so kind as to leave me one of your pistols?" Zone pulls out one of his magnums from his back and places it on the table. 

"Thank you, Arizona." Carolina places a hand on the Director's shoulder. 

"Goodbye, Sir." Carolina then leaves the room, leaving just Zone, the two AI, and the Director alone.

"You were my greatest creation." The Director says tearfully. 

"I don't know what I am, but I do know this - I'm more than just a copy of you. I'm better than you." Epsilon says shamelessly. 

"I wasn't speaking to you." The Director murmurs. Epsilon floats away and Xi disappears. Zone stares at the heartbroken man. 

"All of this..." Zone gestures to the room. "Just to bring back your wife? You can't revive the dead Director. Believe me, I know better than anyone...and that's something no amount of cloning is ever going to change."
