Pike, Bellamy, Hannah, and the other 7 return from their massacre,They are covered in blood.
Abby, Kane, Elena,and Octavia are all watching.
Man: Hey, here they are.
Abby:My God, look at them,What happened to them?
Octavia runs up to Bellamy.
Octavia:What happened? Bellamy, you ok?
Bellamy:I'm fine.
Octavia:What happened out there?
Bellamy walks away from her.
Pike comes in last.
Pike:Lock it up.
The gates close,Pike steps a top a platform.
Pike:Everybody listen up.
Pike:24 hours ago, you elected me your chancellor,Every action I've taken since and every action I will take will be to achieve one sacred goal... The creation of a self-sustaining, prosperous, and safe Arkadia.
Miscellaneous cheering.
Abby and Kane look disturbed.
Elena scoffed.
Pike: This morning on a muddy field, our people paid tribute to those who have been taken from us by sending a message to the Grounders. This land is ours now.
Crowd cheering.
Pike:Resist and you will be met by force,Fight, and you will be greeted by death.
Cheering.
Pike:Today is a new beginning,Mark it down, Remember it just like the Grounders will remember it.
Cheering.
Abby:No wounded. 10 against 300, and there's no wounded,How's that possible?
ON THE BATTLEFIELD
Man:Heda!
Everyone pulls up short.
Clarke and Lexa find themselves looking on a field covered in the dead bodies of Lexa's peace-keeping force.
Lexa, Clarke and co. are picking through the bodies.
Clarke:All bullet wounds.
Man:Heda come quick.
Lexa and Clarke come running to find Indra, wounded
Lexa:Indra.
Indra:Heda.
Indra moaning.
Clarke:Ok,I need bandages.
Indra:Stay away. You're one of them.
Lexa:Indra... Indra let her help.
Clarke starts to bandage Indra.
Clarke and Lexa look upset.
Indra:They attacked while we slept,Our watch was to the north looking for Azgeda,They killed our archers first. Our infantry couldn't get close,Then they executed the wounded.
Clarke:The summit was two days ago. How could Kane do this?
Indra:It wasn't Kane,It was Pike.
Indra's a little offended that Clarke thinks it was Kane.
Lexa:How did you escape?
Indra:Bellamy.
Clarke:Bellamy was with them?
Indra:He wanted to spare the wounded, but they wouldn't listen,He convinced Pike to let me live so I could deliver a message,What message? Skaikru rejects the coalition,This is their land now,We can leave, or we can die.
Lexa hesitates, then jumps into action.
Lexa:Send riders,I call upon the armies of the 12 Clans. In a day's time, we lay waste to Arkadia and everyone within its walls.
Man: Sha,Heda,Mount up.
Clarke:Wait. Give me time to fix this.
Clarke turns to walk away.
Lexa:stop her
Guards stop her before she can get three feet. She turns to Lexa.
Clarke:What are you doing?
Lexa:I can't let you leave,Clarke.
Clarke:So I'm a prisoner now, just like that?
Lexa:Yes.
Clarke:Lexa,let me go to Arkadia.
Lexa:No.
Clarke:At least let me talk to Kane.
Lexa:We can bring him here.
She turns back to Indra.
Clarke:Indra, at the summit,Kane told me he gave you a radio,a way to signal him. Do it, please.
Indra looks to Lexa who nods.
IN SIDE ARKADIA
Kane, Elena and Octavia, stalking through the halls of Arkadia.
Kane:Is it true you tried to leave camp to see Indra yesterday?
Octavia:Look,Don't you have more important things to worry about than me sneaking out of camp?
They step behind a doorway made of dangling red strips of plastic.
Kane:As it turns out, that's why you're here, Indra signaled,She wants to meet,I'd go myself,but Pike's watching everything me and Elena do now.
He hands her her sword.
Octavia:You want me to go see Indra?
Kane:I need you to.
Octavia:I'm in, but how do I get out?The gate is armed with...
He pulls away paneling, exposing a passageway.
She smiles.
Kane:Crawl space door in 20 feet drops you outside the camp wall,Get out there, You find out what the hell happened,Then you report back here,Can you do that?
Octavia and Elena than hug and Octavia steps into the crawlspace.
Octavia:I was born for this.
Man on P.A.:Marcus Kane, report to the Chancellor's office. Marcus Kane to the Chancellor's office.
He closes the panel behind her.
Pike's room.
Bellamy, Pike, Hannah, and various others in the chancellor's office, standing over a table with maps
Pike:Our goal is secure access to water and arable land with defensible terrain on as many sides of us as possible. A 15-kilometer perimeter around Arkadia should be sufficient. 15 kilometers?
Bellamy:Sir, there's a Grounder village.
Pike:Which will, no doubt, be the staging area for a retaliatory attack,Clearing it will be our first order of business,What's the location of the village?
Bellamy:Clear the village?
Pike:Give us the room.
Man:Yes, sir,Kane,Elena and Lincoln are waiting outside.
Everyone but Bellamy and Pike leave.
Pike steps around the table to Bellamy and holds out his old guard jacket.
Pike:Thought you might like this back.
Bellamy is indifferent.
Pike sets it down on the table.
Pike:Do you have something to say to me?
Bellamy:We went too far.
Pike:I know it seems harsh,but we don't leave survivors,We don't have the medical supplies to treat their people, and we can't risk them coming back to kill us,You know,we've all learned pretty quickly that war causes us to do things that...we'll spend the rest of our lives trying to forget, The only advice I can give you is to think about the lives we saved today,not the ones that were lost,Can you do that?
Bellamy:Yes, sir.
Pike picks back up the jacket and holds it out to Bellamy. He puts it on and turns to walk out the door, nearly walking into Kane, Elena and Lincoln.
They're pissed.
Bellamy hesitates, then tries to walk past them.
Bellamy:He's ready for you.
Kane:What the hell happened out there?
Bellamy stops and looks at Lincoln
Bellamy:We did what we had to do.
Bellamy starts to walk away again but Kane stops him.
Kane:Wake up,You attacked an army that was there to help us,You murdered innocent people,Is that who you are now? You thought you couldn't live with yourself after Mount Weather,Well you just started a war that'll kill us all.
Bellamy looked over at Elena and wanted nothing more then to kiss her and leave camp together so that they can have a happy life.
Bellamy:you need to wake up, and don't tell me the difference between Azgeda and Trikru.
Lincoln and Elena are facing away, shifting from foot to foot and clenching and unclenching there fists.
Bellamy:Trikru killed 37 of my friends before you even touched the ground,We didn't start anything,They did.
Lincoln turns to Bellamy and is in his face.
Lincoln:They?
Bellamy:You know what I meant.
Elena:we used to.
Lincoln and Elena backs away and goes into the chancellor's office.
Bellamy walks away.
Medical room.
Jackson and Abby are tending to sick Grounders.
Jackson:Danae's still getting worse.
Abby:Antibiotics every two hours.
Raven enters and is visibly pissed and on the verge of tears.
Abby:Keep me updated.
Abby crosses to her.
Raven:What the hell, Abby?
Abby:Calm down. I know that you're upset.
Raven:Upset? I just showed up for work and found out you fired me.
Abby:I don't fire people.
Raven:Not clearing me medically is the same damn thing.
Abby:Come on,Let's go sit down.
Raven:No. I don't need to sit down. My leg is fine.
Abby:No, it's not,And riding a patrol and working that wall are making your conditions worse.
Raven:So what, do nothing?That's gonna make my leg heal?
Abby:No. Your leg is never gonna heal. Our goal is pain reduction... that's it... and if you keep pushing this hard, even that's not gonna happen. You can still be useful. They've been busy.
Raven looks at her with complete disgust and then storms away.
OUTSIDE ARKADIA
Jaha, Otan, and A.L.I.E. just outside Arkadia.
Jaha:they've been busy.
A.L.I.E.:Welcome home,Thelonious. Let's begin.
Jaha:Otan, stay close.
They head down the hill towards the gate.
A guard sees them coming.
Man: Open up!
Jaha:I didn't see that coming.
The gates begin to open. Out comes a few guards and Gillmer. Jaha puts his hands up.
Man:Chancellor Jaha? Sir, it's good to see you.
Gillmer and Jaha hug while the guards surround Otan with guns drawn. Only Otan seems concerned about this.
Jaha:Shawn Gillmer? Farm Station made it?
Shawn:Not enough of us, sir.
Man:Hands where I can see them.
Jaha:It's ok. He's with me.
Gillmer: Sorry, sir. No Grounders through the gates, Chancellor's orders.
One of the guards reaches for the A.L.I.E. backpack and slips it off of one of Otan's shoulders.
Otan clutches it and backs away.
Jaha: I said, he's with me.
Gillmer is suddenly interested and puts his hand on his gun.
Gillmer:Tell him to hand over the pack right now. Hey, stop it.
One of the guards jerks the backpack out of Otan's hands and Otan follows.
Otan:No!
Jaha:Otan! Come on.
Otan is on the ground on top of Shawn reaching for the backpack.
The guards swarm. Jaha just seems content to yell.
Suddenly a gunshot and Otan drops to the side.
Jaha:Otan.
Man: Hold your fire. Medic! We need a medic!
Gillmer stands up holding the backpack.
Jaha advances and jerks it out of his hands.
Jaha:This belongs to me.
Man:He was going for my gun.
Jaha clearly doesn't buy it.
He bends and embraces Otan and whispers in his ear.
Jaha:You'll be all right, Otan. Go to the City of Light. Alie will be waiting for you on the other side.
Abby comes running, she is shocked see this.
Abby:Thelonious?
She feels for Otan's pulse.
Jaha:He's gone.
Abby:I'm sorry.
Jaha:Don't be,Death is not the end.
Jaha smiles at Abby and she clearly realizes something is off.
Jaha:It's good to see you, Abby.
SOMEWHERE FAR AWAY FROM ARKADIA.
A Grounder is dragging a wheelbarrow full of items and comes across Murphy in the middle of the road, half-naked and bloodied and apparently dead.
Grounder:You there.
He kneels and flips Murphy to his back. Murphy is apparently lifeless.
He looks at his shoes and begins to take them off.
Grounder:I'm an honest man, but if you're done walking I'll have your shoes.
A knife appears at his throat.
Emori smiles.
Emori:My friend will keep his shoes, thank you. But if you don't resist we'll allow you to keep yours
Murphy sighs and stands.
Murphy: Took you long enough.
Grounder:May those you love be eaten by wolves before your eyes.'
Emori knocks him out with the butt of the knife.
Murphy:What did he say?
Emori:He said you're cute for a thief.
Murphy:Yeah. Well, too bad he's not really my type.
They kiss.
Emori:Let's get out of here.
Murphy heads to grab their bag while Emori gets the wheelbarrow.
BACK AT ARKADIA
Jaha and Abby are standing by Otan's body.
Jaha: Oh, don't worry about John Murphy, That boy's a fighter.
Abby:And the others? You left with 12 people, Thelonious.
Kane enters and stops in his tracks.
Jaha:Kane.
They hug.
Kane:Ah, welcome home, my friend.
Abby:Where's your uniform?
Kane:Pike just relieved me of my command, stripped Lincoln of his commission.
Jaha:You always did have good timing. Abby caught me up,I'm sorry about the election, Marcus.
Kane:Forget the election.
Jaha:The war you predicted the day you left is about to happen.
Abby:Ask him where he's been.
Jaha:I found the City of Light.
Kane:Well, that's great... Isn't it?
Abby:Ask his friend Otan. Apparently, he's there right now.
She gestures to him. Kane is mystified.
Jaha:I don't blame you for doubting, Abby. I know how it sounds, but it is real, and it is incredible. Everything that you worry about now... war, power... none of it matters in the City of Light.
The doors opened behind them and out walked Hannah.
Hannah:I heard you were here, sir.
Jaha:And I heard you made it, Hannah. I was so glad.
Hannah:Chancellor Pike would like to speak with you.
Jaha:We'll finish this later.
He leaves.
Abby tries to tell Kane something is off with Jaha with her eyes.
CHANCELLOR'S OFFICE
Guard:Right this way, sir. The chancellor is waiting.
Jaha entering the chancellor's office where Pike is drawing lines on a map.
They shake hands.
Jaha:You look good for a man who's been in the wilderness for 4 months.
Pike:So do you.
Jaha:I heard you had it pretty rough.
Pike:We gave worse than we got.
Jaha:I heard that, too.
Pike:You don't approve?
Jaha:I don't judge.
Pike:Since when?
Jaha:I'm not the same man that I was on the Ark,Charles.
Pike:None of us is. I was a teacher. Now I'm chancellor. I am wondering, though, what do you know?
Pike crosses to sit on a table and Jaha follows. Suddenly, A.L.I.E. is there.
Alie: He's threatened by you.
Jaha:I'm just a man who wants to save his people, no threat to you.
Pike:Save us?Forgive me for being blunt, Thelonious but I need to ask why you've returned.
Jaha:i just told you... To save my people.
Alie:Do you want him to think you're a fool?
Pike:You actually believe that?
Jaha:Yes. I do.
Pike:Ok. I'm game. How, exactly, are you gonna do that?
Jaha:By freeing the minds... from the bonds of physical and spiritual pain. I am here to show the people of Arkadia the way. You've lost him. Have some faith.
Pike thinks Jaha's nuts.
A.L.I.E. sees that Pike is skeptical.
A.L.I.E.:You've lost him.
Jaha:Have some faith.
Pike sighs, and escorts Jaha to the door.
Pike:Tell you what. As long as you stay out of my way, you can save whoever wants saving. Lord knows there's enough pain here to go around.
Jaha:Thank you, chancellor.
Pike smiles fondly.
BATTLE GROUND.
Octavia crossing the field of the dead looking horrified.
LEXA'S TENT.
She's staring moodily into the distance while Clarke tends to Indra in a corner.
Clarke: The bleeding's stopped. We need to get you something for the pain.
The flap to the tent opened and in walked Octavia.
Clarke:Octavia? Where's Kane?
Octavia:He sent me.
She crosses to kneel beside Indra.
Octavia:Indra. Thank God.
Lexa:How did this happen?
Octavia stands and turns to Lexa.
Octavia:Kane lost the election to Pike. Everything's different.
Clarke stands and Lexa glares at her.
Lexa:Your people voted for this?
Clarke:No. No. I don't believe that.
Octavia:What do you know, Clarke? You haven't been here.
Clarke:Listen to me. The Grounder army is gonna be here in less than a day. I need to see Bellamy.
Octavia:Bellamy was a part of this. He's with Pike. What makes you think he'll help us?
Clarke:He saved Indra's life.
Clarke turned to lexa.
Clarke:If what Octavia's saying is true, then Pike trusts him. If I can get to him, he can get to Pike.
Lexa:You can't just walk through the gates, Clarke. You've been living with their enemy. If it were me, I'd kill you on the spot.
Octavia:I can get her in.
CAVE
Murphy and Emori's cave. Murphy's packing.
Murphy:So where you want to head next... the north, south?We've been on a heck of a roll.
Emori crosses to him.
Emori:I want to go after my brother.
Murphy:We've talked about this. Otan's with Jaha at camp.Why would you want to go there?
Murphy turns and crosses to her.
Emori:He's my brother. If there's a chance, I have to try and get him back.
Murphy:Going after Otan's not a good move.
Emori:John...
Murphy:It's not a survivor's move.
Emori:Then wait for me.
He smiles bitterly.
Murphy:In this world, when people leave, they don't come back.
Emori:I did.
Murphy:Not for me, you didn't i just so happened to be there.
She puts her hand onto his face.
Emori:John, come with me.
He pushes her hand away.
Murphy:I'm not that stupid.
BACK IN ARKADIA
Pike, Bellamy, Gillmer, and assorted guards are rousting out the sick Grounders.
Pike and Bellamy are standing watch, the former looking smug and the latter looking troubled. Abby rounds on Pike.
Abby:What are you doing? These are sick people, you can't just throw them out into the cold.
Pike:We're not. They're being interned.
Abby:What?
Lincoln:Out of my way.
Lincoln,Elena and Jackson enter.
Bellamy:Lincoln, you don't want to be here right now.
Lincoln advances on Pike, Bellamy, and Abby with a guard follow
Bellamy:Lincoln, you don't want to be here right now.
Lincoln:We asked them to come here.
Pike:We can't spare the supplies.
One of the guards bodily sits Denae up.
Lincoln:Denae.
He crosses to her but Gillmer stands in his way.
Abby:Lincoln, no.
Lincoln:She's too sick to move.
By this point, the guard has got her on her feet.
She's barely conscious.
Gillmer:Looks like she's moving just fine to me.
Bellamy advances.
Gillmer and Lincoln are within inches of each other's face.
Bellamy: Gillmer, back off.
Gillmer doesn't flinch.
Bellamy rounds on Jackson.
Bellamy:Jackson, why did you bring him here?
Denae hits the ground.
Lincoln reaches for her, and Gillmer moves to hit him with his gun.
Lincoln retaliates.
Elena:alright that's enough let her go.
Everyone looked at her the guard didn't listen to her.
Elena:are you going to let her go or not?
The guard didn't move so Elena puts Gillmer to the ground in two punches and bends over to grab him by the collar and continues to beat him while Lincoln did with the other guard.
Bellamy:Lincoln! Elena!
Bellamy comes up on Lincoln and grabs him from behind along with Abby grabbing Elena.
Lincoln quickly dispatches him with an elbow to the face, then turns to get in his face when Bellamy rights himself.
Abby:Lincoln! Lincoln!
Lincoln finally turns to look at Abby who nods towards Pike who is casually pointing a gun at Denae's head.
Pike:He goes with them. Take him.
Guards advance and cuff Lincoln.
Lincoln glares at Bellamy.
Guard:Move.
Lincoln is escorted out.
Pike:Sorry, we had to do this the hard way.
Abby turns and glares at Pike.
Pike:this is the last time Griffin next time your gone.
Elena laughed.
Elena:I'd like to see you try.
WITH JAHA AND RAVEN
Jaha leaning against a pole and preaching to a group of about a half-dozen Arkers.
Jaha:We all have pain. Some of it is physical from injuries or age. Some is mental... you know,living with the loss of our loved ones. If you think about it, whether we fight that pain or succumb to it, the result is the same. It diminishes our lives, robs us of our passions and pastimes and damages relationships between friends and lovers. What if I told you that there's a simple way to eliminate that pain?
Raven's there looking pissed.
Raven: I'd say you're full of crap. There's no simple way to eliminate pain, and you know it.
Alie: So much suffering. If we get her, the others will come.
Jaha comes down to stand in front of her, offering a pill.
Jaha:This can make it go away.
Raven:Heh. Please.
Jaha:The key to the City of Light, to your salvation and relief.
Raven:Ok. Ok. You're telling these people what, that they swallow that, and they'll be living in happy town for the rest of their lives? You should be ashamed of yourself.
She turns to walk away.
Unbeknownst to her, she passes A.L.I.E.
Alie:We need her.
Jaha:She's not ready
Raven turns to look at Jaha and Jaha waves.
Jaha:I'll be here when you are.
LOCK UP.
Bellamy leans against a wall watching them go past.
Lincoln's glares at Bellamy as he passes.
Man: Kindly move forward. Straight ahead. Move.
Man: Pick up your feet. Come on.
Octavia: Lincoln. Lincoln.
Lincoln stops and turns to look as Octavia heads towards him.
Bellamy reaches out and catches her around the waist.
Lincoln is now being led away backward.
Lincoln: I'm ok. Don't fight this.
Bellamy:He's right.
Octavia:Lincoln, what the hell is going on?
Bellamy:We're interning the Grounders. Lincoln's here because of a disturbance in Sick Bay.
Lincoln, the last, is pushed into a cell.
Octavia:What's happening to you?
Bellamy:Octavia...
Octavia shouting:I saw what you and Pike did to Lexa's army,Bellamy you killed everyone.
Bellamy Keep your voice down.
Octavia:What's wrong? You're not proud of massacring an army that was here to help us?
Bellamy:We're not doing this here.
Octavia:Good. Then let's go because I'm not even close to done.
They turn and walk away. Bellamy grabs her by the arm and Octavia fights him off.
Bellamy:You need to be careful, O. If you keep this up, I won't be able to protect you.
Octavia:Thanks for the warning.
Bellamy:I'm serious. Look at yourself. It is time to stop playing Grounder before you get yourself hurt.
Octavia:I'm not playing anything. This is who I am. You're my brother. I shouldn't have to tell you that.
She throws open a door. He steps through before he notices Clarke and Elena inside.
He is surprised.
Octavia:Now I'm done.
She turns, leaves, and shuts the door behind her.
Elena:Go easy on Octavia,Clarke had to beg her to get her into camp.
Bellamy:What are you doing here,Clarke?
Clarke:We need to talk.
Bellamy:Oh, you've decided that, the mighty Wanheda and Skyreapa who chose the Grounders over her own people, who turned her back on us when we came to rescue you, Now you want to talk.
She crosses to him.
Elena had enough and said.
Elena:She came here to tell you that the Ice Nation has paid a price. Justice has been served for the attack on Mount Weather,she came here to tell you it's over.
Bellamy:There it is again.
Bellamy looked at Elena with pain in his eyes and with hurt in his words.
Bellamy:Why do you get to decide it's over?
Elena:We did our part.
Bellamy:We?
Elena:Lexa,Clarke and I,The Ice Queen is dead The problem was solved and then you let Pike ruin everything.
He crosses closer to her.
Bellamy:Why is she here?
Elena:Arkadia needs to make things right, or Lexa and the twelve clans will wipe us out.
Bellamy:Let her try.
Clarke&Elena:Please tell us that going to war is not what you want.
Bellamy:We've been at war since we landed,At least Pike understands that.
Elena:Pike is the problem,This isn't who you are.
Bellamy:You're wrong,This is who I've always been, and I let you,Octavia and Kane convince me that we could trust these people when they have shown over and over who they are, and I won't let anyone else die for that mistake.
Elena:Bellamy...I need you, and we don't have much time.
Bellamy:You need me?
Elena:Yes. I do,I need the guy who Would do anything for his people and anything for me AI GAF AI BELOMI BLAKE.
Bellamy:You left everyone.
Elena:Bellamy...
Bellamy:Enough Elena,You are not in charge here,and that's a good thing because people die when you're in charge.
Bellamy and Elena both begin to tear up.
Bellamy:You were willing to let a bomb drop on my sister your best friend,Then you and clarke made a deal with Lexa,who left us in Mount Weather to die and forced us to kill everyone who helped us, people who trusted me.
Clarke:I...
Bellamy turns away.
Clarke sits, head down.
Clarke:I'm sorry for leaving we knew we could because they had you.
Elena looked at Clarke.
Elena:clarke can you wait outside please.
Clarke nodded and then walked out.
Elena:Bellamy this isn't the end there are other things that can give your life meaning.
Bellamy:like what you?
Elena looked at him in shock.
Elena:t...this is the part you apologize.
Bellamy:this is the part where you leave.
Elena:fine i can't watch you do this to yourself.
Bellamy grabbed her before she could leave.
Bellamy:what its to difficult for you?
Elena:yes it is....it breaks my heart to see you this way.
Bellamy:don't pity me.
Elena:I'm not pitying you Bellamy.
Bellamy:you care so much!that you walked out on me!on us!
Elena:because I can get you killed Bellamy.
Elena let out a breath.
Elena:I can't let that happen and I sure as hell won't.
Bellamy:right you left because you thought that you would get me killed.
Elena:yes I did.
Bellamy:you should have stayed gone.
Elena looked down and let the tears that she didn't want Bellamy to see out, but Bellamy looked down at her hands and saw them in a fist.
Bellamy:you shouldn't be angry.
Elena pulled her head up and wiped her tears.
Elena:I'm not angry.
Elena took a breath.
Elena:I'm in pain and y-
Elena pushed Bellamy.
Elena:you put me here! The person who's supposed to love me more than anything!,you killed my friends!And you killed the love of my life!!,And now he's gone!!
Elena looked up at him and wiped her tears.
Elena:your right.
Bellamy looked at Elena confused.
Elena:I should've stayed gone.
Bellamy shook his head.
Elena:goodbye Bellamy.
Before Elena could move Bellamy hugged her.
Bellamy:I'm sorry please don't leave.
Elena pulled Bellamy away and sat down and started to cry Bellamy walked to Elena and took her hands.
Elena:I know we can fix this.
Bellamy:I'm sorry, too.
Bellamy handcuffs Elena to the table.
Elena:Hey,No,Don't,No. Bellamy, don't.
Bellamy:goodbye Elena.
He leaves.
Elena drops her head and weeps.
Elena:Bellamy,God...
SOMEWHERE IN ARKADIA
Raven is at a table sorting through bits of metal.
Jaha comes to her.
Jaha: Zero-g mechanic sorting scrap metal out for ammo, huh?
Raven starts to sort it with much more anger, ignoring Jaha.
Raven:Was this Abby's idea?
Jaha:Is it supposed to make you feel better? I can help you, Raven.
She looks up, angry.
Raven:Don't, all right?
She stands.
Raven:Everyone thinks they have an idea on how to help me feel better... Stay in camp, only do jobs where I can sit down, ask every time I need something on a high shelf... but you know what? I'm not that person. People think I can just change and my pain will go away, but I can't. I can't do that, and I can't do this.
She smacks all the metal off the table and then sits back down.
Jaha silently sits the pill on the table in front of her.
Jaha:What have you got to lose?
He walks away.
ARKADIA
Bellamy dragging a cuffed Elena through the halls with Gillmer.
Elena:Bellamy, you don't have to do this.
Bellamy:Yes, I do.
Elena:Just let me go.
They walked out.
Bellamy:Believe it or not,I am doing this for your own good.
Octavia comes around the corner and kicks Gillmer in the knee, then knees him in the chin.
Octavia:Believe it or not, I'm doing this for yours.
Gillmer hits the ground, out cold.
Bellamy:You can't just hit a guard.
Octavia:I just did. Let her go.
Sounds down the hallway.
Octavia turns to look.
Octavia:They're coming.
Bellamy:You should go.
Elena grabs Gillmer's shock stick thing off his body and catches Bellamy in the guts who goes down out cold.
She gets the handcuff keys off him.
Octavia:Clarke, hurry up.
Man speaks.
Elena:They're coming,You should go.
Clarke ran down the hall and up to them.
Clarke:Let's go.
They take off running down the hall away from the voices.
Octavia:Follow me, come on.
They burst through the aforementioned red plastic door where Abby and Kane are waiting.
Clarke/Elena:Mom!
Abby and Elena,Clarke hug as Octavia and Kane open the panel.
Abby:We know what happened. We know
what Pike did. Is there anything we can do to prevent a retaliation?
Kane:Abby, hurry.
Octavia:We came here to give them Pike.
Kane:He's the duly elected chancellor. Our people knew what they were voting for. Besides, he has the guards and all the guns. We can't get close to him.
Abby:And that's not the way we do things.
Octavia:Then maybe it's time we change the way we do things.
Voice on PA:Security breach. Lock down the exits.
Kane:You two need to go now.
Octavia:What about Lincoln?
Clarke and Abby come up on the panel as Kane pulls out his walkie-talkie.
Kane:You want to help him, do it from the outside with this. The range isn't great – you stay close and wait for me to contact you. Now go.
Octavia disappears down the passageway and Clarke steps in but turns back.
Abby follows her to the doorway.
Clarke:Come with me.
Abby:I wish I could.
She holds her face.
Abby:May we meet again.
Clarke runs off and Kane shuts the panel.
THE WOODS
Murphy, rubbing animal blood on his face. Emori sneaks up on him from behind.
He jumps and turns.
Emori:I do a much better job of making you look dead.
Murphy:Your brother-
Emori:Can wait until I can convince you to join me. Which I will.
She advances on him, they're smiling, and then hear Grounders coming.
Murphy:Perfect timing.
She grins and runs to hide while Murphy tosses his bag and the animal carcass out of the way before stretching out in the road.
The Grounders ride up and dismount.
One pulls a knife.
Emori promptly looks anxious.
He jerks Murphy to his feet.
Grounder #1:We've been looking for you for days.
Grounder places his sword to Murphy's throat.
One Grounder seems to head towards Emori.
Grounder #1:We know you're not alone. Where's the girl?
Murphy:She left.
The Grounder that was headed for Emori finds Murphy's bag.
Grounder #1:Find her. On your knees.
Emori pulls her knife.
Grounder #1:You've been caught stealing in the Commander's woods. The punishment for this is death. I'll ask you once more. Where's the girl?
The Grounder finds the pill Jaha gave Murphy.
Murphy:Go float yourself.
Grounder #2:Wait!
He picks up the pill.
Grounder #2:The sacred symbol.
Grounder #1:Where did you get this?
Murphy smiles.
Murphy:I guess if you kill me know you'll never find out.
The Grounder pulls Murphy back to his feet and drags him away.
Grounder #1:On your feet. Keep walking.
Emori pants against the tree.
ARKADIA
Nyko is feeding someone some nasty looking soup.
Lincoln is pacing like a caged animal.
Miller approaches the cell.
Miller: Careful. This one doesn't like to be chained up. Girlfriend's not here to free you this time.
Miller opens an opening in the door and slips through a small bottle. Checking to see if the other guard is looking, Miller whispers.
Miller:It's from Abby for Danae.
Lincoln takes the bottle then leans in close
Lincoln:Octavia?
Miller:She got out with Clarke.
Miller turns and stands guard against the cell.
BACK WITH LEXA
Lexa is pacing inside her fancy tent. Indra leans against some pillows.
Indra:I don't know if we can beat their guns. Not unless we use them ourselves.
A guard enters.
Guard:Heda, she's back.
Lexa nods.
The guard leaves and Clarke enters.
Lexa continues to pace.
Indra:Where's Octavia?and Elena?
Clarke:She's watching over camp they both are.
Lexa:So tell us, Clarke, how does this end? Have you come up with a way to save your people yet again?
Clarke:No. Only you can do that.
Indra:What happened here was an act of war.
Clarke:Your army was here to help us, and my people slaughtered them. You have every right to respond, every right to wipe us out, or you can change the way you do things.
Indra: Why should she change?
Clarke:Blood must have blood. Really? Because from where I stand, the only way that ends is with everyone dead. So what kind of leader do you want to be, the kind who kills every chance she gets because that's your way or the kind who shows the world a better way.
Lexa stops face to face with Clarke.
Lexa:You consider letting a massacre go unavenged a better way?
Clarke:If it ends a cycle of violence, yes. If it brings about peace, yes. Someone has to take the first step. Let it be you.
Lexa turns away and Clarke follows.
Clarke:You say you want peace. Everything you've done was to achieve that, yet here we stand on the brink of another war, a war you could stop.
Indra:Commander, you can't seriously be considering this.
Lexa:I'm not considering it. I'm doing it.
Indra:Heda, please.
Lexa:Indra, our people act as if war is easier than peace. If that's so, should we not try and achieve the more difficult goal?
Indra:Polis will not support you. Titus...
Lexa turns and shouts at Indra.
Lexa:Titus is my subject. They're all my subjects. Do you say they will defy me? Will you defy me?
Indra:No, Heda. I will not.
Lexa turns back to Clarke.
Lexa:Then let it be known. Blood must not have blood.
