06x11 - Ashes to Ashes
Previously on "The 100"...
OCTAVIA: You're stopping her heart?
GABRIEL: Death causes her mind to back up onto the drive.
I take it out...
We get Clarke back.
GABRIEL: I need to restart her heart.
Why isn't she waking up?
GABRIEL: 'Cause Josephine's still inside.
OCTAVIA: She's gone.
No, she's not!
Clarke?
No one's gonna find out I'm a Nightblood.
Quiet.
[THUD]
RUSSELL: Miranda's dead.
RYKER: They're executing one of your people tonight.
- GAIA: Madi?
- RYKER: No.
She's a host.
The child is spared, but the rest of you will burn at the stake for your crimes.
ECHO: Get me to a window with a view of the execution.
Got him.
Sorry.
MURPHY: So listen to me, ok?
You can still save your wife.
We can still make Nightblood.
Bone marrow.
Take them down.
[MONITOR CHIRPING]
Dr.
Jackson?
I'm here, Madi.
I can't feel my hand.
Something's wrong.
Please help.
I can't feel it.
I can't breathe.
[LABORED BREATHING]
Madi, it's ok.
JACKSON: Abby!
Raven!
Emori!
SHEIDHEDA: Why didn't you let me go for the throat, like we talked about?
I thought you wanted revenge.
Your move.
Because Jackson is innocent.
He's one of us.
One of you?
He's draining your marrow as we speak.
Let's just play the game.
Chess isn't a game.
A lesson in strategy, and you're not paying attention.
Checkmate.
Jackson is a pawn.
If you had k*lled him, we'd be free right now and on our way to the palace to k*ll the people who had m*rder*d Clarke.
Instead we'll now likely die with her, so well done.
What do you want from me?!
I want you to rule this world as I did the last.
I want you to k*ll everyone who gets in your way.
I want you to get revenge for Clarke.
Tell me what I have to do.
[CHIMING, INDISTINCT TRANSMISSIONS]
[BREATHING HEAVILY]
Hey.
You're ok.
I'm still here.
Thanks to you.
How long have I been asleep?
A few hours.
I'm so sorry, Clarke.
I knew you were a target.
I didn't protect you.
Bellamy, you saved me.
So how do we save everyone that I left behind?
You know, if you didn't, I'd be dead.
They all would...
Echo, Madi.
Josephine would've made sure of it.
Your plan was good.
My plan was to use Josephine's mind drive to bargain for peace, and now there's no mind on the drive.
CLARKE: We don't need the mind drive.
We've got me.
No, no way.
Bellamy, if we don't give Russell his daughter back...
Clarke, as soon as he realizes you're not her, which will be the second you walk in the door and he checks the drive, you're dead.
GABRIEL: So let's put it back in.
That's not happening.
We appreciate what you did for us, but these are our people.
We'll take it from here.
This isn't just about our people, Bellamy.
Well, it is for me, Clarke.
Good.
Everybody's awake.
So what's the plan?
Let's play what's a bigger waste of time, shall we?
Trying to pry off a lock with your bare hands or praying for a -year-old psychopath to come to our rescue.
She's not a psychopath.
She's a child under as*ault from a demon.
And the longer we wait... the more control he has over her.
Just relax.
Raven's on the case.
I'm sure Madi will be fine as soon as Houdini Miller breaks us out of here and we get Becca's book of spells.
That's from the machine shop, right?
It's no use, not without something to pick it.
Wow.
What a surprise.
You got a better idea, Murphy?
Nah.
Help me get this out of the way.
Anyone want to take a guess as to what happened to Echo?
GAIA: She would've saved us if she could.
MILLER: We have to assume they have her, too, now.
Making them Nightblood bought us some time, but does anyone really believe they're just gonna let us walk once it's done?
MAN: Open it up.
Let's go.
On your feet, Murphy.
You're wanted in the palace.
RUSSELL: You're guilty of attempting to assassinate a Prime and spreading blasphemous rumors.
The punishment for this is death, but we can be merciful.
Your friend Jordan saved the life of Priya VII.
Hallowed be her name.
ALL BUT ECHO: Hallowed be her name.
RUSSELL: She's seen to his ongoing recovery personally.
Because your crimes were committed to save your people, I will offer you a chance for mercy as well.
But you have to earn it, starting by telling us who else you talked to other than Tai.
No one.
It was just him.
Too bad you can't ask him who he told.
The man m*rder*d a Prime.
Maybe you should take this a little more seriously.
That wasn't m*rder.
Simone Prime, hallowed be her name, will be back.
The life taken to make that happen will be m*rder.
The life taken to make that happen will be yours.
Take her to the machine shop.
Test Abby's bone marrow formula.
If it works and turns you into a host, then it will be your great honor to become one with Simone Prime.
Hallowed be her name.
ALL BUT ECHO AND MURPHY: Hallowed be her name.
I've never performed that procedure before.
You know that.
RUSSELL: And I never asked you to, but I'm asking you now.
You're trained for this.
We all are.
And we can no longer afford our moral equivocations, but this is how we get our family back.
Good.
Call for me when it's done.
I want to be there for the resurrection.
She comes with me.
- Silence.
Murphy, you traitor!
I'll k*ll you!
You've always been a traitor.
You've always been a filthy...
[DOOR SHUTS]
So who do I get to be?
You're a slippery one, John, always playing both sides of the fence.
I doubt you've ever done anything that didn't redound to your own benefit.
Come on.
Now, that's just mean.
Don't get me wrong.
I like that about you.
Oh, you do, huh?
It means I can trust you as long as what I'm asking has something in it for you.
And what are you asking?
According to Jade, my daughter is still alive, or was last night.
I need you to bring her home.
If you can do this, then you and your girlfriend have your immortality after all.
- And if I say no?
- You won't.
If you fail, however, or do something that keeps my daughter from her place at my side, then I will be forced to take an eye for an eye.
Immortality or mortality.
It seems fair.
Not your eye, John.
Emori's.
You have till second moon.
You're a Nightblood.
You could walk through the shield at any time and lower it.
Why haven't you?
OLIVIA: Because he doesn't want to k*ll the people inside.
He wants to save them, and they'll die to protect the Primes.
Then they die.
I'm not letting our people get ex*cuted because theirs are delusional.
GABRIEL: I don't have the code.
I couldn't lower the shield if I tried.
BELLAMY: What about Ryker?
He built it, and he helped you escape.
Go to him, you lower the shield, we do the rest.
GABRIEL: Ryker won't help us.
He left my cell door open to stop Simone from burning me at the stake, but he wouldn't help me stop the resurrections.
OCTAVIA: They were gonna burn you?
That's what you do to demons.
I destroyed the embryos.
We landed with a thousand.
Genetically engineered with what you call Nightblood to protect against solar radiation.
CLARKE: That's why hosts are so rare... why Josephine started oblation.
GABRIEL: I didn't think she would take it that far, but...
So your nonviolent revolution made things worse.
OCTAVIA: Bellamy, he doesn't want to k*ll his own people.
- Why not?
You did.
- Bellamy.
BELLAMY: I don't need a lecture on moral relativity from the Queen of Cannibals.
Can I talk to you outside?
No.
No.
You know what?
For once, O., you're not my biggest problem.
Please?
CLARKE: Go.
We'll keep thinking.
Your sister's special.
Well, that's one word for it.
I'm serious, Bellamy.
She went into the Anomaly and came back.
No one's ever done that before.
CLARKE: The Anomaly?
[INDISTINCT TRANSMISSIONS, BUZZING]
GABRIEL: That sound you hear, the great mystery of Sanctum.
Look, she didn't remember anything, so I gave her red sun toxin to help her see.
She chose to look inward instead.
CLARKE: But there was no eclipse.
GABRIEL: The toxin's everywhere... in every leaf, in every tree, the soil, the rocks.
Over time, we found other ways to harness its power.
You weaponized it, didn't you?
Simone did as part of her adjustment protocol.
My research was focused on an antitoxin.
The discovery that intravenous use produced a waking dream was a happy accident.
OCTAVIA: Uh, Gabriel, your friends are here.
[CHILDREN OF GABRIEL SPEAKING INDISTINCTLY]
OCTAVIA: Don't sh**t.
We're on the same side.
Bellamy, g*n down.
Same side, huh?
He was with Josephine in the cave.
- Hey, hey.
- It's her...
Josephine Prime.
- BELLAMY: No, no, no.
- MAN: Raise your weapons.
- MAN: Take her down!
- BELLAMY: It's not her.
Gabriel, we could use a little help.
Xavier?
WOMAN: Xavier, brother, get out of the way.
Layla, it's ok.
Nelson, put the w*apon down.
All of you, weapons down.
That's an order.
You don't give orders.
Where's the old man?
Layla, search the tent.
The old man is dead.
So is Xavier.
On your knees.
Gabriel.
Traitor!
Get back!
Come on.
NELSON: Layla, easy!
Easy.
[COUGHS]
NELSON: Explain.
I didn't want this.
I loved Xavier like a son.
You know that.
Don't say his name.
NELSON: Layla, if you can't handle this, maybe you should wait outside.
I'm fine.
I need to hear this.
GABRIEL: Eduardo brought me back without my consent.
NELSON: Eduardo's been dead for years, k*lled by Sanctum guards around the time the old man disappeared.
It wasn't the Sanctum guards.
Ten years?
He's been lying to us for years, letting me call him brother?
NELSON: He's still our leader.
No.
He's a traitor and a Prime.
He could've told us the truth, but instead, he let us think we were abandoned.
Now, give me back the g*n and let me end this once and for all.
BELLAMY: Wait.
If this is what you really want, at least wait until he delivers the b*mb.
What are you talking about?
Shut up.
I'm talking about weaponized red sun toxin.
Gabriel's a Nightblood.
He can walk it right through the shield and deploy it.
Once it's in the air, he finds our friend Raven.
She'll bring the shield down for the rest of us.
We use the chaos of the evacuation to rescue our people.
You k*ll the Primes.
That's how this ends.
It's a good plan.
LAYLA: Come on.
You trust them just like that?
No.
But I will...
When he kills Josephine Prime.
I'm not Josephine.
GABRIEL: It's true.
Josephine's gone.
I took the mind drive out myself.
LAYLA: He's protecting her.
How much more proof that he's a traitor do we need?
No.
If you k*ll her yourself, I won't build you the b*mb.
Good.
First, we gather the toxin.
There's a cave on the way to the Anomaly.
You're not going anywhere.
Neither is your long-lost friend.
We can do it.
Just tell us what to look for.
[CLICKS, HISSES]
[GROANING]
You can let her go now.
MAN: So that's it, then?
One shot, and she's a host?
Yes.
According to their doctor, we have some time.
I'll be in my room.
ECHO: The truth spreads like that, too.
Of course, more than one person knows the truth.
Don't they?
You guys can wait outside.
No need to listen to her lies.
How long before Russell finds out you were the one who sparked the revolution?
One dead janitor isn't a revolution.
We told at least a dozen others, but you let him believe it was just Tai.
That tells me you're still torn.
You're right.
I am.
The only thing worse than my people being burned alive is it happening to my family.
Ryker, wait.
The truth is out.
It's too late to stop this.
If you let me go, I'll still honor our deal.
You and your mother will be fine.
No, we won't.
It won't matter that we do the right thing.
The people will need blood.
The guards will die defending us.
Tell me something.
If you could prevent all those deaths by taking one life, would you do it?
That's what I thought.
I'm sorry, Echo.
I truly am.
[DOOR OPENS]
Damn it!
[DOOR SHUTS]
Where the hell are they?
You didn't follow orders when the Commander banished you.
How come?
[THUNDER]
Sometimes we have to disobey in order to transcend.
Did you think about that when we were following Blodreina?
Mistakes are forgivable.
Not learning from them isn't.
[DOOR OPENS]
MAN: Meal time.
You know the drill.
Hands on the wall.
Hands on the wall.
GAIA: What are you doing?
GUARD: I said, hands on the wall.
Transcending.
[GROANING]
Let 'em starve.
[MILLER GASPING]
What were you thinking?
That's the best lift I've made... since the Ark.
Impressive.
Hide the blade.
I'll get them to come back.
MILLER: Wait.
Wait.
Wait.
Wait.
I didn't steal it for the blade.
Machine shop's this way.
Come on.
[INDISTINCT TRANSMISSIONS, BUZZING]
A device like this was one of the reasons I left.
[BLOWS]
GABRIEL: I wouldn't build Russell his b*mb, and here I am building one for you.
[GABRIEL CHUCKLES SOFTLY]
Never mind me.
I'm rambling.
[METAL OBJECTS CLANK]
Your friends should be at the cave by now.
You know, it's too bad they took an antitoxin.
That is one sibling relationship that could use a good guided hallucination.
Yeah.
Be a shame if one of them was m*rder*d before they worked it out.
- Layla, I'm...
- Don't you dare apologize.
LAYLA: This b*mb.
If the Primes have one, then why haven't they used it on us?
I don't know.
Probably because turning us into raging K*llers isn't in their best interest.
Then what's it for?
Josephine and Simone were intrigued by a pattern in the visions of those who survived being caught out in the eclipse.
Despite my best efforts to stop them, they started leaving test subjects outside to study it.
Now, not surprisingly, believers in the divinity of the Primes invariably reported seeing us as gods or as angels.
What interested the Lightbournes more was that the aggression response of the faithful was almost always aimed at the less devout.
Believers k*lling nonbelievers.
Uh-huh.
I swear on my brother's memory, if you betray us, I will k*ll you.
[SNIFFLES]
Josephine was right.
This is Mount Weather all over again.
That b*mb won't just cause chaos.
It'll cause a m*ssacre.
There has to be a better way than using a m*ssacre as a distraction to get the shield down.
Look, if you're worried about your people, they'll be fine.
Put in wall restraints to fend for themselves as soon as the early warning system is triggered and evacuation begins.
I told you, I'm not just worried about... the early warning system.
The insects are affected by the toxin first.
That's why they're in tanks all over Sanctum.
I'm aware.
It was my idea.
What's your point?
We use less of the toxin... enough to affect the bugs but not the people.
Just enough to trigger the evacuation.
Can you do that?
Yes.
But without the chaos, I won't have time to take the shield down.
Your people will still be prisoners, and the Primes will still be Primes.
We will k*ll some bugs, though.
So we take down the shield first.
First, as in before the evacuation, while everyone's still at home?
Look, Clarke, I don't mean to be rude, but...
Josephine could do it.
Think you can get your Children to let me go with you?
It's doubtful.
They're not gonna like it.
Neither is Bellamy.
We got this, Gabriel.
Careful.
Gabriel said these things have the highest concentration of red sun toxin they've ever found.
Trust me, they're a hell of a lot stronger than Jobi nuts.
So tell me about this Anomaly.
Gabriel says that you went in and you came back, you were special.
I'm not special.
I went in after Diyoza, but I couldn't catch her.
Diyoza's dead?
Yeah.
The light swallowed her, but it spit me out.
I didn't know why.
But now I do.
It was for you.
For me?
Right.
What do you say when "I'm sorry" isn't good enough?
Hey.
Don't stop.
You were right for leaving me behind.
I know how hard that must have been for you, but you were right.
I was a mess... a danger to you, to myself, and everyone we care about.
Yeah?
Well, what's changed?
[EXHALES]
Everything.
That much, huh?
Ah, the mushrooms must be strong.
I need you in my life, Bell.
Look, I don't know what happened to you out here, but now is not the time.
We need to fill these bags and get back to camp before the antitoxin wears off.
You were my rock.
Without you as my compass, I was lost.
I couldn't find my way out of the dark.
I did things...things I can't take back... things that will haunt me until the day I die.
I'm not asking you for forgiveness.
I know I have to earn that along with your trust.
What do you want me to say, O.?
Say I'm your sister.
You're my sister...but you're not my responsibility.
Not anymore.
Go on.
We got enough.
I'll be right behind you.
Look at that.
[THUNDER]
It worked.
Wait.
Where are you going?
To tell Russell we've solved our host problem.
Hoping he'll k*ll me for you, huh?
He won't, you know.
It's a loyalty test.
Trust me.
I've been there.
I know what you're going through.
You know nothing.
You're a k*ller, an assassin.
I'm an engineer.
You won't be just that after today.
Fine.
If he wants me to do it myself, I'll do it myself.
Actually, I was hoping you'd let me go.
It's not gonna happen.
I've made my choice.
It's too late to change that now.
No, it isn't.
At least...let me tell you what happened to me... something I've never told anyone else.
You're stalling.
Ok.
Tell me your story.
Quickly.
Top that.
You know I can't.
Do you want her to think you're useless?
Do it like I showed you, and picture Queen Nia's face at the center.
Ha ha!
Ok.
[HOOFBEATS]
Is that your secret, then?
Your highness, forgive...
Quiet.
I don't care why your aim is true... just that it is.
It's time, Echo.
Sangedakru is expecting you in days.
You've mastered their dialect, studied their customs, but are you ready to k*ll for your queen?
Yes, highness.
Prove it.
This piece of filth is a Sangedakru spy.
If he gets away, your mission will fail.
Ash, hand her the bow.
Run, you fool!
What are you waiting for?
Imagine my face on his back.
NIA: Hesitation is death.
Take the shot.
Weakness!
Since I can't send an assassin who's afraid to k*ll, I'll give you one last chance.
k*ll her.
If she doesn't take the knife and attack in seconds, k*ll both.
...
... Fight back.
Show her she needs you, too.
NIA: Finish her, or you're finished.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry, too.
MAN: Sangedakru is expecting a girl named Echo.
Congratulations, Echo.
Don't let me down.
Get her ready.
[PICKS UP KNIFE]
ECHO, VOICE-OVER: I guess you could say I've been wiped before.
I'm sorry that happened to you.
I didn't tell you that just so you don't k*ll me.
I told you to spare you from what happens if you do.
I'm sure you're right...
Ash.
k*lling you would haunt me, but so would not k*lling you.
We both know what would happen to Sanctum if I let you go.
I'm sorry.
No.
No.
[CLANKING ON DOOR OUTSIDE]
Fine.
Guards, come in.
Close the door.
I need your help holding her down.
[BREATHING HEAVILY]
You move... you die.
Took you long enough.
GAIA: We came for the notebook.
We didn't know, or we would've...
Hesitation is death.
[BONE CRACKS]
[TOOL CLANKS ON FLOOR]
What do you mean, you're not building a b*mb?
Releasing it in the water will cause it to aerosolize at a lower concentration.
We'll trigger an evacuation without inducing a mass psychosis.
CLARKE: In other words, no innocent people die.
OCTAVIA: How long until they realize there's no eclipse and turn around?
Not long enough.
We'll need to be inside before it starts, which means...
Which means the shield needs to be down before it starts.
OCTAVIA: Can you do that without a distraction?
BELLAMY: It wouldn't be him.
Bellamy, it's the only way.
What is?
I go as Josephine.
It's not the only way.
We use the b*mb as planned.
Risking your life when we don't have to is just...
Is how we do better.
What would Monty do?
Clarke, if you fail, if Russell figures out that his daughter is dead, all our people are dead, too.
So I won't fail.
OCTAVIA: Bellamy, if we can spare innocent lives, we should.
MAN: Hey, what's that?
DIFFERENT MAN: Got raiders coming!
DIFFERENT MAN: Sanctum raiders!
Wait here.
MAN: Everybody spread out!
NELSON: Get them back inside.
I want them tied up and gagged with the Primes.
Layla, you're with them.
k*ll anyone who resists.
Move to intercept!
Elijah, Logan, get to high ground!
I need eyes up top.
The rest of you, spread out.
MAN: Cut them off on the other side!
DIFFERENT MAN: Sanctum raiders!
[g*nsh*t]
MAN: Retreat!
[g*nf*re]
[INDISTINCT SHOUTING]
[KNIFE SLASHING FABRIC]
Hey there.
Josephine?
[g*nf*re CONTINUES OUTSIDE]
Well done, Jade.
You just can't pick a side, can you, John?
The only reason I'm doing this is because Emori dies if I don't.
Echo's in trouble, too.
I promise I'll do what I can for her.
JADE: Give us two seconds to make sure it's clear, then follow.
No.
This one's mine.
Go.
Make sure it's clear.
Is she really gone this time?
Yes.
Boo-hoo.
Now, as soon as I pull this trigger, your little decoy trick will fail.
You better run.
Hmm.
CLARKE: I can do this.
BELLAMY: Get that shield down.
I'll bring the cavalry.
For Monty.
For Monty.
She isn't Josephine.
No, she's not.
MURPHY: You mind walking a little faster?
CLARKE, AS JOSEPHINE: Relax.
If they were gonna k*ll us, we'd be dead by now.
They know that we're here.
CLARKE: What?
No hug?
Josephine.
How is this possible?
It's a long story.
Suffice to say, I'm awesome.
What I'm not, however, is immortal.
Gabriel took out my drive.
MURPHY: I really do hate to interrupt, but...
I'm a man of my word.
You earned your place here.
Take him to Emori, and clear the doctor and the rest of her people from the lab.
Where's Mom?
There was an incident, but it's ok.
I was just on my way to resurrect her, but that can wait.
Resurrect her in who?
Abby did it.
We can make hosts.
Yes, but not how you think.
Come on.
Let's get you checked out.
CLARKE: So I used Clarke's neural mesh to stay in her brain.
Turnabout's fair play.
Am I right?
Anyway, I k*lled her in the mindspace.
Now here we are.
[MONITOR BEEPING]
CLARKE: How about next time, we choose a less crowded host?
What do you say?
And what is this?
This is how we make hosts.
Bone marrow?
Clarke, is that you?
No.
It's not.
She put up a good fight, though, kid.
Can't win them all.
We're gonna k*ll you!
We're gonna k*ll all of you and everything you love!
[MADI GROANING]
Hmm.
How many doses can we get out of her before she dies?
You know what?
Never mind.
It's time for my new drive.
Being mortal sucks.
Previously on "The 100"...
OCTAVIA: You're stopping her heart?
GABRIEL: Death causes her mind to back up onto the drive.
I take it out...
We get Clarke back.
GABRIEL: I need to restart her heart.
Why isn't she waking up?
GABRIEL: 'Cause Josephine's still inside.
OCTAVIA: She's gone.
No, she's not!
Clarke?
No one's gonna find out I'm a Nightblood.
Quiet.
[THUD]
RUSSELL: Miranda's dead.
RYKER: They're executing one of your people tonight.
- GAIA: Madi?
- RYKER: No.
She's a host.
The child is spared, but the rest of you will burn at the stake for your crimes.
ECHO: Get me to a window with a view of the execution.
Got him.
Sorry.
MURPHY: So listen to me, ok?
You can still save your wife.
We can still make Nightblood.
Bone marrow.
Take them down.
[MONITOR CHIRPING]
Dr.
Jackson?
I'm here, Madi.
I can't feel my hand.
Something's wrong.
Please help.
I can't feel it.
I can't breathe.
[LABORED BREATHING]
Madi, it's ok.
JACKSON: Abby!
Raven!
Emori!
SHEIDHEDA: Why didn't you let me go for the throat, like we talked about?
I thought you wanted revenge.
Your move.
Because Jackson is innocent.
He's one of us.
One of you?
He's draining your marrow as we speak.
Let's just play the game.
Chess isn't a game.
A lesson in strategy, and you're not paying attention.
Checkmate.
Jackson is a pawn.
If you had k*lled him, we'd be free right now and on our way to the palace to k*ll the people who had m*rder*d Clarke.
Instead we'll now likely die with her, so well done.
What do you want from me?!
I want you to rule this world as I did the last.
I want you to k*ll everyone who gets in your way.
I want you to get revenge for Clarke.
Tell me what I have to do.
[CHIMING, INDISTINCT TRANSMISSIONS]
[BREATHING HEAVILY]
Hey.
You're ok.
I'm still here.
Thanks to you.
How long have I been asleep?
A few hours.
I'm so sorry, Clarke.
I knew you were a target.
I didn't protect you.
Bellamy, you saved me.
So how do we save everyone that I left behind?
You know, if you didn't, I'd be dead.
They all would...
Echo, Madi.
Josephine would've made sure of it.
Your plan was good.
My plan was to use Josephine's mind drive to bargain for peace, and now there's no mind on the drive.
CLARKE: We don't need the mind drive.
We've got me.
No, no way.
Bellamy, if we don't give Russell his daughter back...
Clarke, as soon as he realizes you're not her, which will be the second you walk in the door and he checks the drive, you're dead.
GABRIEL: So let's put it back in.
That's not happening.
We appreciate what you did for us, but these are our people.
We'll take it from here.
This isn't just about our people, Bellamy.
Well, it is for me, Clarke.
Good.
Everybody's awake.
So what's the plan?
Let's play what's a bigger waste of time, shall we?
Trying to pry off a lock with your bare hands or praying for a -year-old psychopath to come to our rescue.
She's not a psychopath.
She's a child under as*ault from a demon.
And the longer we wait... the more control he has over her.
Just relax.
Raven's on the case.
I'm sure Madi will be fine as soon as Houdini Miller breaks us out of here and we get Becca's book of spells.
That's from the machine shop, right?
It's no use, not without something to pick it.
Wow.
What a surprise.
You got a better idea, Murphy?
Nah.
Help me get this out of the way.
Anyone want to take a guess as to what happened to Echo?
GAIA: She would've saved us if she could.
MILLER: We have to assume they have her, too, now.
Making them Nightblood bought us some time, but does anyone really believe they're just gonna let us walk once it's done?
MAN: Open it up.
Let's go.
On your feet, Murphy.
You're wanted in the palace.
RUSSELL: You're guilty of attempting to assassinate a Prime and spreading blasphemous rumors.
The punishment for this is death, but we can be merciful.
Your friend Jordan saved the life of Priya VII.
Hallowed be her name.
ALL BUT ECHO: Hallowed be her name.
RUSSELL: She's seen to his ongoing recovery personally.
Because your crimes were committed to save your people, I will offer you a chance for mercy as well.
But you have to earn it, starting by telling us who else you talked to other than Tai.
No one.
It was just him.
Too bad you can't ask him who he told.
The man m*rder*d a Prime.
Maybe you should take this a little more seriously.
That wasn't m*rder.
Simone Prime, hallowed be her name, will be back.
The life taken to make that happen will be m*rder.
The life taken to make that happen will be yours.
Take her to the machine shop.
Test Abby's bone marrow formula.
If it works and turns you into a host, then it will be your great honor to become one with Simone Prime.
Hallowed be her name.
ALL BUT ECHO AND MURPHY: Hallowed be her name.
I've never performed that procedure before.
You know that.
RUSSELL: And I never asked you to, but I'm asking you now.
You're trained for this.
We all are.
And we can no longer afford our moral equivocations, but this is how we get our family back.
Good.
Call for me when it's done.
I want to be there for the resurrection.
She comes with me.
- Silence.
Murphy, you traitor!
I'll k*ll you!
You've always been a traitor.
You've always been a filthy...
[DOOR SHUTS]
So who do I get to be?
You're a slippery one, John, always playing both sides of the fence.
I doubt you've ever done anything that didn't redound to your own benefit.
Come on.
Now, that's just mean.
Don't get me wrong.
I like that about you.
Oh, you do, huh?
It means I can trust you as long as what I'm asking has something in it for you.
And what are you asking?
According to Jade, my daughter is still alive, or was last night.
I need you to bring her home.
If you can do this, then you and your girlfriend have your immortality after all.
- And if I say no?
- You won't.
If you fail, however, or do something that keeps my daughter from her place at my side, then I will be forced to take an eye for an eye.
Immortality or mortality.
It seems fair.
Not your eye, John.
Emori's.
You have till second moon.
You're a Nightblood.
You could walk through the shield at any time and lower it.
Why haven't you?
OLIVIA: Because he doesn't want to k*ll the people inside.
He wants to save them, and they'll die to protect the Primes.
Then they die.
I'm not letting our people get ex*cuted because theirs are delusional.
GABRIEL: I don't have the code.
I couldn't lower the shield if I tried.
BELLAMY: What about Ryker?
He built it, and he helped you escape.
Go to him, you lower the shield, we do the rest.
GABRIEL: Ryker won't help us.
He left my cell door open to stop Simone from burning me at the stake, but he wouldn't help me stop the resurrections.
OCTAVIA: They were gonna burn you?
That's what you do to demons.
I destroyed the embryos.
We landed with a thousand.
Genetically engineered with what you call Nightblood to protect against solar radiation.
CLARKE: That's why hosts are so rare... why Josephine started oblation.
GABRIEL: I didn't think she would take it that far, but...
So your nonviolent revolution made things worse.
OCTAVIA: Bellamy, he doesn't want to k*ll his own people.
- Why not?
You did.
- Bellamy.
BELLAMY: I don't need a lecture on moral relativity from the Queen of Cannibals.
Can I talk to you outside?
No.
No.
You know what?
For once, O., you're not my biggest problem.
Please?
CLARKE: Go.
We'll keep thinking.
Your sister's special.
Well, that's one word for it.
I'm serious, Bellamy.
She went into the Anomaly and came back.
No one's ever done that before.
CLARKE: The Anomaly?
[INDISTINCT TRANSMISSIONS, BUZZING]
GABRIEL: That sound you hear, the great mystery of Sanctum.
Look, she didn't remember anything, so I gave her red sun toxin to help her see.
She chose to look inward instead.
CLARKE: But there was no eclipse.
GABRIEL: The toxin's everywhere... in every leaf, in every tree, the soil, the rocks.
Over time, we found other ways to harness its power.
You weaponized it, didn't you?
Simone did as part of her adjustment protocol.
My research was focused on an antitoxin.
The discovery that intravenous use produced a waking dream was a happy accident.
OCTAVIA: Uh, Gabriel, your friends are here.
[CHILDREN OF GABRIEL SPEAKING INDISTINCTLY]
OCTAVIA: Don't sh**t.
We're on the same side.
Bellamy, g*n down.
Same side, huh?
He was with Josephine in the cave.
- Hey, hey.
- It's her...
Josephine Prime.
- BELLAMY: No, no, no.
- MAN: Raise your weapons.
- MAN: Take her down!
- BELLAMY: It's not her.
Gabriel, we could use a little help.
Xavier?
WOMAN: Xavier, brother, get out of the way.
Layla, it's ok.
Nelson, put the w*apon down.
All of you, weapons down.
That's an order.
You don't give orders.
Where's the old man?
Layla, search the tent.
The old man is dead.
So is Xavier.
On your knees.
Gabriel.
Traitor!
Get back!
Come on.
NELSON: Layla, easy!
Easy.
[COUGHS]
NELSON: Explain.
I didn't want this.
I loved Xavier like a son.
You know that.
Don't say his name.
NELSON: Layla, if you can't handle this, maybe you should wait outside.
I'm fine.
I need to hear this.
GABRIEL: Eduardo brought me back without my consent.
NELSON: Eduardo's been dead for years, k*lled by Sanctum guards around the time the old man disappeared.
It wasn't the Sanctum guards.
Ten years?
He's been lying to us for years, letting me call him brother?
NELSON: He's still our leader.
No.
He's a traitor and a Prime.
He could've told us the truth, but instead, he let us think we were abandoned.
Now, give me back the g*n and let me end this once and for all.
BELLAMY: Wait.
If this is what you really want, at least wait until he delivers the b*mb.
What are you talking about?
Shut up.
I'm talking about weaponized red sun toxin.
Gabriel's a Nightblood.
He can walk it right through the shield and deploy it.
Once it's in the air, he finds our friend Raven.
She'll bring the shield down for the rest of us.
We use the chaos of the evacuation to rescue our people.
You k*ll the Primes.
That's how this ends.
It's a good plan.
LAYLA: Come on.
You trust them just like that?
No.
But I will...
When he kills Josephine Prime.
I'm not Josephine.
GABRIEL: It's true.
Josephine's gone.
I took the mind drive out myself.
LAYLA: He's protecting her.
How much more proof that he's a traitor do we need?
No.
If you k*ll her yourself, I won't build you the b*mb.
Good.
First, we gather the toxin.
There's a cave on the way to the Anomaly.
You're not going anywhere.
Neither is your long-lost friend.
We can do it.
Just tell us what to look for.
[CLICKS, HISSES]
[GROANING]
You can let her go now.
MAN: So that's it, then?
One shot, and she's a host?
Yes.
According to their doctor, we have some time.
I'll be in my room.
ECHO: The truth spreads like that, too.
Of course, more than one person knows the truth.
Don't they?
You guys can wait outside.
No need to listen to her lies.
How long before Russell finds out you were the one who sparked the revolution?
One dead janitor isn't a revolution.
We told at least a dozen others, but you let him believe it was just Tai.
That tells me you're still torn.
You're right.
I am.
The only thing worse than my people being burned alive is it happening to my family.
Ryker, wait.
The truth is out.
It's too late to stop this.
If you let me go, I'll still honor our deal.
You and your mother will be fine.
No, we won't.
It won't matter that we do the right thing.
The people will need blood.
The guards will die defending us.
Tell me something.
If you could prevent all those deaths by taking one life, would you do it?
That's what I thought.
I'm sorry, Echo.
I truly am.
[DOOR OPENS]
Damn it!
[DOOR SHUTS]
Where the hell are they?
You didn't follow orders when the Commander banished you.
How come?
[THUNDER]
Sometimes we have to disobey in order to transcend.
Did you think about that when we were following Blodreina?
Mistakes are forgivable.
Not learning from them isn't.
[DOOR OPENS]
MAN: Meal time.
You know the drill.
Hands on the wall.
Hands on the wall.
GAIA: What are you doing?
GUARD: I said, hands on the wall.
Transcending.
[GROANING]
Let 'em starve.
[MILLER GASPING]
What were you thinking?
That's the best lift I've made... since the Ark.
Impressive.
Hide the blade.
I'll get them to come back.
MILLER: Wait.
Wait.
Wait.
Wait.
I didn't steal it for the blade.
Machine shop's this way.
Come on.
[INDISTINCT TRANSMISSIONS, BUZZING]
A device like this was one of the reasons I left.
[BLOWS]
GABRIEL: I wouldn't build Russell his b*mb, and here I am building one for you.
[GABRIEL CHUCKLES SOFTLY]
Never mind me.
I'm rambling.
[METAL OBJECTS CLANK]
Your friends should be at the cave by now.
You know, it's too bad they took an antitoxin.
That is one sibling relationship that could use a good guided hallucination.
Yeah.
Be a shame if one of them was m*rder*d before they worked it out.
- Layla, I'm...
- Don't you dare apologize.
LAYLA: This b*mb.
If the Primes have one, then why haven't they used it on us?
I don't know.
Probably because turning us into raging K*llers isn't in their best interest.
Then what's it for?
Josephine and Simone were intrigued by a pattern in the visions of those who survived being caught out in the eclipse.
Despite my best efforts to stop them, they started leaving test subjects outside to study it.
Now, not surprisingly, believers in the divinity of the Primes invariably reported seeing us as gods or as angels.
What interested the Lightbournes more was that the aggression response of the faithful was almost always aimed at the less devout.
Believers k*lling nonbelievers.
Uh-huh.
I swear on my brother's memory, if you betray us, I will k*ll you.
[SNIFFLES]
Josephine was right.
This is Mount Weather all over again.
That b*mb won't just cause chaos.
It'll cause a m*ssacre.
There has to be a better way than using a m*ssacre as a distraction to get the shield down.
Look, if you're worried about your people, they'll be fine.
Put in wall restraints to fend for themselves as soon as the early warning system is triggered and evacuation begins.
I told you, I'm not just worried about... the early warning system.
The insects are affected by the toxin first.
That's why they're in tanks all over Sanctum.
I'm aware.
It was my idea.
What's your point?
We use less of the toxin... enough to affect the bugs but not the people.
Just enough to trigger the evacuation.
Can you do that?
Yes.
But without the chaos, I won't have time to take the shield down.
Your people will still be prisoners, and the Primes will still be Primes.
We will k*ll some bugs, though.
So we take down the shield first.
First, as in before the evacuation, while everyone's still at home?
Look, Clarke, I don't mean to be rude, but...
Josephine could do it.
Think you can get your Children to let me go with you?
It's doubtful.
They're not gonna like it.
Neither is Bellamy.
We got this, Gabriel.
Careful.
Gabriel said these things have the highest concentration of red sun toxin they've ever found.
Trust me, they're a hell of a lot stronger than Jobi nuts.
So tell me about this Anomaly.
Gabriel says that you went in and you came back, you were special.
I'm not special.
I went in after Diyoza, but I couldn't catch her.
Diyoza's dead?
Yeah.
The light swallowed her, but it spit me out.
I didn't know why.
But now I do.
It was for you.
For me?
Right.
What do you say when "I'm sorry" isn't good enough?
Hey.
Don't stop.
You were right for leaving me behind.
I know how hard that must have been for you, but you were right.
I was a mess... a danger to you, to myself, and everyone we care about.
Yeah?
Well, what's changed?
[EXHALES]
Everything.
That much, huh?
Ah, the mushrooms must be strong.
I need you in my life, Bell.
Look, I don't know what happened to you out here, but now is not the time.
We need to fill these bags and get back to camp before the antitoxin wears off.
You were my rock.
Without you as my compass, I was lost.
I couldn't find my way out of the dark.
I did things...things I can't take back... things that will haunt me until the day I die.
I'm not asking you for forgiveness.
I know I have to earn that along with your trust.
What do you want me to say, O.?
Say I'm your sister.
You're my sister...but you're not my responsibility.
Not anymore.
Go on.
We got enough.
I'll be right behind you.
Look at that.
[THUNDER]
It worked.
Wait.
Where are you going?
To tell Russell we've solved our host problem.
Hoping he'll k*ll me for you, huh?
He won't, you know.
It's a loyalty test.
Trust me.
I've been there.
I know what you're going through.
You know nothing.
You're a k*ller, an assassin.
I'm an engineer.
You won't be just that after today.
Fine.
If he wants me to do it myself, I'll do it myself.
Actually, I was hoping you'd let me go.
It's not gonna happen.
I've made my choice.
It's too late to change that now.
No, it isn't.
At least...let me tell you what happened to me... something I've never told anyone else.
You're stalling.
Ok.
Tell me your story.
Quickly.
Top that.
You know I can't.
Do you want her to think you're useless?
Do it like I showed you, and picture Queen Nia's face at the center.
Ha ha!
Ok.
[HOOFBEATS]
Is that your secret, then?
Your highness, forgive...
Quiet.
I don't care why your aim is true... just that it is.
It's time, Echo.
Sangedakru is expecting you in days.
You've mastered their dialect, studied their customs, but are you ready to k*ll for your queen?
Yes, highness.
Prove it.
This piece of filth is a Sangedakru spy.
If he gets away, your mission will fail.
Ash, hand her the bow.
Run, you fool!
What are you waiting for?
Imagine my face on his back.
NIA: Hesitation is death.
Take the shot.
Weakness!
Since I can't send an assassin who's afraid to k*ll, I'll give you one last chance.
k*ll her.
If she doesn't take the knife and attack in seconds, k*ll both.
...
... Fight back.
Show her she needs you, too.
NIA: Finish her, or you're finished.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry, too.
MAN: Sangedakru is expecting a girl named Echo.
Congratulations, Echo.
Don't let me down.
Get her ready.
[PICKS UP KNIFE]
ECHO, VOICE-OVER: I guess you could say I've been wiped before.
I'm sorry that happened to you.
I didn't tell you that just so you don't k*ll me.
I told you to spare you from what happens if you do.
I'm sure you're right...
Ash.
k*lling you would haunt me, but so would not k*lling you.
We both know what would happen to Sanctum if I let you go.
I'm sorry.
No.
No.
[CLANKING ON DOOR OUTSIDE]
Fine.
Guards, come in.
Close the door.
I need your help holding her down.
[BREATHING HEAVILY]
You move... you die.
Took you long enough.
GAIA: We came for the notebook.
We didn't know, or we would've...
Hesitation is death.
[BONE CRACKS]
[TOOL CLANKS ON FLOOR]
What do you mean, you're not building a b*mb?
Releasing it in the water will cause it to aerosolize at a lower concentration.
We'll trigger an evacuation without inducing a mass psychosis.
CLARKE: In other words, no innocent people die.
OCTAVIA: How long until they realize there's no eclipse and turn around?
Not long enough.
We'll need to be inside before it starts, which means...
Which means the shield needs to be down before it starts.
OCTAVIA: Can you do that without a distraction?
BELLAMY: It wouldn't be him.
Bellamy, it's the only way.
What is?
I go as Josephine.
It's not the only way.
We use the b*mb as planned.
Risking your life when we don't have to is just...
Is how we do better.
What would Monty do?
Clarke, if you fail, if Russell figures out that his daughter is dead, all our people are dead, too.
So I won't fail.
OCTAVIA: Bellamy, if we can spare innocent lives, we should.
MAN: Hey, what's that?
DIFFERENT MAN: Got raiders coming!
DIFFERENT MAN: Sanctum raiders!
Wait here.
MAN: Everybody spread out!
NELSON: Get them back inside.
I want them tied up and gagged with the Primes.
Layla, you're with them.
k*ll anyone who resists.
Move to intercept!
Elijah, Logan, get to high ground!
I need eyes up top.
The rest of you, spread out.
MAN: Cut them off on the other side!
DIFFERENT MAN: Sanctum raiders!
[g*nsh*t]
MAN: Retreat!
[g*nf*re]
[INDISTINCT SHOUTING]
[KNIFE SLASHING FABRIC]
Hey there.
Josephine?
[g*nf*re CONTINUES OUTSIDE]
Well done, Jade.
You just can't pick a side, can you, John?
The only reason I'm doing this is because Emori dies if I don't.
Echo's in trouble, too.
I promise I'll do what I can for her.
JADE: Give us two seconds to make sure it's clear, then follow.
No.
This one's mine.
Go.
Make sure it's clear.
Is she really gone this time?
Yes.
Boo-hoo.
Now, as soon as I pull this trigger, your little decoy trick will fail.
You better run.
Hmm.
CLARKE: I can do this.
BELLAMY: Get that shield down.
I'll bring the cavalry.
For Monty.
For Monty.
She isn't Josephine.
No, she's not.
MURPHY: You mind walking a little faster?
CLARKE, AS JOSEPHINE: Relax.
If they were gonna k*ll us, we'd be dead by now.
They know that we're here.
CLARKE: What?
No hug?
Josephine.
How is this possible?
It's a long story.
Suffice to say, I'm awesome.
What I'm not, however, is immortal.
Gabriel took out my drive.
MURPHY: I really do hate to interrupt, but...
I'm a man of my word.
You earned your place here.
Take him to Emori, and clear the doctor and the rest of her people from the lab.
Where's Mom?
There was an incident, but it's ok.
I was just on my way to resurrect her, but that can wait.
Resurrect her in who?
Abby did it.
We can make hosts.
Yes, but not how you think.
Come on.
Let's get you checked out.
CLARKE: So I used Clarke's neural mesh to stay in her brain.
Turnabout's fair play.
Am I right?
Anyway, I k*lled her in the mindspace.
Now here we are.
[MONITOR BEEPING]
CLARKE: How about next time, we choose a less crowded host?
What do you say?
And what is this?
This is how we make hosts.
Bone marrow?
Clarke, is that you?
No.
It's not.
She put up a good fight, though, kid.
Can't win them all.
We're gonna k*ll you!
We're gonna k*ll all of you and everything you love!
[MADI GROANING]
Hmm.
How many doses can we get out of her before she dies?
You know what?
Never mind.
It's time for my new drive.
Being mortal sucks.
