Transcript
John strides across a large debris field on an unknown human colony world. Severely damaged skyscrapers still stand in the distance. A wind kicks up dust, which swirls around him. The camera faces his front, moving with him as he walks.
John: This...
Cut to John's POV. Ahead of him stands a severely damaged statue of himself. Cut back to third-person. A damaged UNSC Infinity looms in the sky.
John: ...is this what you wanted? Is this what you were looking for? Was everything you've compromised, everything you've done... worth it?
Pan up the statue. The quote "Duty and Honor Above All" appears written below the statue.
John: Was it?
Cut to John's POV. He levels his gaze on Locke, who lays at the base of the statue. John holsters his assault rifle and releases the magnetic locks holding his pistol to his thigh. It snaps into his hand.
John: You've completed your mission, Spartan Locke.
He stops in front of Locke, lying crippled. His armor is cracked and blackened and a portion of his chestplate appears to be smoldering. His visor's backlight flickers on and off. John levels his pistol at Locke, as the wounded SPARTAN gazes up at his soon-to-be killer.
John: Mine is just beginning.

Trivia
Locke appears as a friendly on John's radar, whereas Locke's radar in the counterpart ad is blank.
