Transcripts
Episode 00: PRIMER
When you are a war journalist, you see a lot of horrible stuff. All the stories I've done have seen the absolutely worst of humanity, but also got to seen the best. Six years ago, I saw him. The greatest, most mysterious hero of our time, up-close in action. I witness first hand what he did that day and it changed everything for me. Everyone listen to this knows exactly who I'm talking about. The guy who saved us, saved Earth, saved mankind: Master Chief Petty Officer Spartan-117, who we now know as simply "the Master Chief". A few months ago I was hired to do an in-depth profile of the Master Chief. Exclusive access, the whole thing. Since then, I've got in talk with a lot of people who claim they know the real Master Chief: the boy, the soldier, the hero... the traitor.
See, I always know the story where story is going before it started. I know exactly the story I wanted to tell for years. The story of all of us wanted to hear: glossy, inspiring, the blockbuster hero biography. That's all was supposed to be. But the true is not always that clean. When I pull that first loose threat, something broked. Now everything is coming in and I find myself stucked with all these ugly questions, questions I never intended to asked: Fabricated histories? People who knows what they say they are? Cover-ups of cover-ups? And this disturbing rumors, reports of anomalies. Something big is happening in deep space, and I can't even corroborate a single fact about one man's life. It's clear to me now. I can't fix the pretty story but maybe I can break the ugly one.
For the first time in my career I can honestly say I don't know the shape of where is this is going. But I believe we know deserve to know the real story. We need to know where this leads. I know I do.
So I find myself back in the beginning: Who is the Master Chief? Where is he come from? And he is keeping us safe?
Join me as I hunt the true story of the Master Chief.
