The 100 (2014–…): Season 3, Episode 16 - Perverse Instantiation: Part Two - full transcript

In the second half of the two-part season finale, everyone prepares for a final showdown as they begin to face the reality of their tragic situation in the epic and mind-bending conclusion.

Previously on "The 100"...

Bellamy: This thing doesn't care
what clan you're from.

It controls people
one person at a time

until there
is no one left.

The only way to stop her
is to get the information

off the flame, and
the only way to do that

is to put it
in ontari's head.

It's a kill switch.

If I can get this to work,
i can kill alie.

Monty: Jasper's
been chipped.

Jasper: All you have to do
is destroy the machine,



and she'll be fine,
promise.

Lincoln is dead.

[Gunshot]

He was my home.

Raven: Until
we find it a host,

we won't know
how to stop alie.

Then let's
find it a host.

We can't let them
have you.

Clarke: No!

Uh!

She's brain dead.
It's over.

We're
trapped here.

[Zap]

Aah! Aah!



Agh! Uhh!

Uh...Uh...

[Sniffles]

Mom?

[Sniffles]

Can you hear me?

[Sniffles]

I know
you're in there.

Come back to me. Heh.

[Sniffles]

I need you.

[Exhales]

Ha!

[Sniffles]

Hi.

-Clarke.
-Yeah. Ha ha!

You're ok.
You're ok. Here.

[Sniffles]

Oh...

[Sobs]

[Sniffles]

-Oh, no.
-No, no, no, no, no.

-I'm sorry.
-It's ok.

I'm so sorry.

It's ok.

[Sobbing]

Hey, stop.

-I'm sorry.
-It wasn't you.

No, no, no, no, no.

No. It wasn't you.

-Mom...
-No.

I need your help.

[Door opens]

Hey, no. It's ok.

I used the emp.
She's back.

W-w-well, what
about ontari?

Thought you said
we had one shot

with that thing.

I told you,

ontari's no longer
an option for the flame.

She's brain dead.
Is the floor secure?

For now. Jaha and the guards
are tied up in a bedroom.

We took out
the elevator

and the ladder
as we climbed.

The stairs are collapsed.
No one's following us.

Clarke: Good.
Then we have time.

What we don't have
is a way down.

Time for what?

An ascension
ceremony.

Ascension? You just said
ontari wasn't an option.

Besides, she's still chipped,
and we no longer have an emp.

Clarke: We're not putting
the flame in ontari's head.

We're putting it
in mine.

Clarke, that thing
killed Emerson in seconds,

liquefied his brain.

Emerson wasn't connected
to a nightblood.

-Transfusion?
-Not exactly.

Connected like
mount weather.

Yes. Everything we need
is in your med kit.

No. It's too
dangerous,

and there are
too many variables.

But no options.

Whatever you're doing,
you better do it fast.

Why?
What happened?

They're climbing.

[Wind whistling]

[People shouting]

I have to do this.

Ok. I'll help you.

Harper: Ah!
Oh! Huh! Ah!

Uh!

[Whimpering]

Guys, you're
running out of time.

What's it gonna be,
raven's machine or Harper?

Don't give it
to them. Uh!

Monty: Just keep
him talking.

Stop. There's
no reason to hurt her.

You can stop it.
Just open the door.

And if we do that,
then what,

we get chipped,
anyway?

Raven, your chances
of reaching

the kill switch again
are less than 2%.

I've added
additional security.

I know the digital
signature of the chip

that Hannah
gave to monty.

The moment you use
the portal to interact

with anything within
my code, I will know.

I will find you.

Harper: Uh...

Are you really willing
to let your friend die

for a 2% chance?

Monty: What do you think?

[Gunshot]

Uh!

Uh!

-You ok?
-Yeah.

Good thing there's no pain
in the city of light.

[Winces]

Ah...

Balcony's greased.

No one's getting in
through here.

Good. There enough
lamp oil

to cover every
window on the floor

except the
commander's chambers.

Then that's where
the fighting starts.

We'll dig in there.

O.

Be careful.

We're all set.

Ok. You ready?

Yeah.

[Exhales]

Bellamy: Hey, try doing that
hanging upside down.

This will work.

And if it doesn't?

Murphy: If it doesn't work,
then she dies.

If she doesn't try, then she
dies with the rest of us

when the climbers
get here.

If we're gonna do this,
i need the flame.

Mom, please.
He knows what he's doing.

You have to let me go.

Lean forward.

[Exhales]

-You ready?
-Yeah. Do it.

Ascende superius.

Uh! Uh! Aah!

Uh! Aah!

No, no, no.

-She ok?
-Her heart's racing.

Get that thing
out of her head.

I said, get that
thing out of her head!

Clarke: No. No...

Not yet.

Are you
in any pain?

No. I'm ok.
I know how to stop alie.

I have to take
the chip.

What?

I have to go into
the city of light

and find
the kill switch.

Yeah. That sounds
like a great idea.

Clarke, listen to me.
Alie wants the flame.

If you take the chip,
you're giving it to her.

The second
someone see you,

alie is gonna know
that you're there.

She'll kill you.

If your mind dies,
you die.

The flame
will protect me.

I don't know how I know.
I just...Know.

I believe you.

Do you even know
what you're looking for?

I'll know
when I find it.

May we meet again.

We will.

We'll keep
you safe.

[Exhales]

[Panting]

[Conversations
and car horns]

Hey.

Good to see you.

Jasper?

What--

they can't see me.

Alie: Clarke...

Clarke...

-You're burning up.
-I'm fine.

Wound is infected.

I'm sorry about
the way things happened.

That was
another war.

Better take him
to Abby.

Copy that.
I'll come right back.

I'm not letting
you fight alone.

He won't
be alone.

Miller:
You see? Come on.

If we're gonna
survive this,

we'll need
to stand together.

Now you say that.

[Men straining]

Pike: Damn,
that was fast.

Here they come.

Ok. The first
wave is small.

We do this
your brother's way.

We let them in.
We take them down.

We tie them up.
Clear?

Man: Rrgh!

Aah! Ah!

-Uh! Uh!
-Uh!

-Uh!
-Oh!

You left her
with pike?

Uh! Ooh! Uh!

Uh!

-Uh!
-O., what are you doing?

Bellamy, no.

[Gunshots]

Uh!

Uh! Ah!

Come on.
Can you stand?

She cut me.

Come on.
We got to go.

-But we can't give up the room.
-We already have.

Uh!

Help me.

I told you, you need
to get yourself

under control if we're
gonna survive this.

Uh!

Uh!

O.?
O., listen to me.

I know how you feel.

I let my need
for revenge

put me on
the wrong side.

I don't want
that for you.

[Slam]

Uh!

Uh!

[Slam]

You keep it closed.

I'll get more
for the barricade.

[Slam]

Wasn't the wrong side.

If the grounder army was
still there when lexa died,

they would have attacked,
and you know it.

I wanted to see
things like you.

I needed that,
to believe

that they were bad
and we were good.

[Slam]

I don't know what
i believe anymore.

I just know
i have to live

with what I've done.

[Slam]

[Slam]

[Slam]

Uh!

I don't
believe it.

What, did you find
the kill switch?

Don't answer that.
Alie can hear us.

I'm reading
her code, Harper.

Alie already
knows.

Monty: Knows what?
What are you talking about?

Clarke is in
the city of light.

[Gasps]

[Ontari moaning]

Abby, Abby, we've
got a problem.

Hey, hey, come on.

Move.
She's crashing.

Clarke's not getting
enough nightblood.

Her body is already
rejecting the flame.

You need
to take over.

Do exactly
what I'm doing.

Come on.

[Gasping]

If the blood stops flowing
through this tube,

Clarke's brain
will liquefy.

Wait. Clarke
took the chip?

She would've
had to, but--

what?

Alie's running
a flush subroutine to find her,

sending Clarke's code
out to everyone.

-Like she's a virus.
-Exactly.

Uh!

Alie wouldn't
have to do that

if she could
control her.

It's like Clarke is running
a different program.

Uh! Uh!

Did she put the flame
in her head?

Jasper: You don't
need to whisper.

I'm aware Clarke has merged
with the other a.I.

-Ah!
-Uh!

Thanks to her, my code
is now updating

to version 2
of my program.

Monty: What happens
when alie is updated?

She'll delete
the kill switch.

We won't be
able to stop her.

So find the damn
kill switch.

[Typing]

Uh! Oh! Uh!

Aah!

Yah!

Lexa?

-Ah!
-Uh!

Ah! Yah!

Uh! Uh!

Ugh! Agh!

Aagh!

Aah!

Aah!

Aagh!

Uh!

[Whimpering]

Oh, my god.

Our fight is not over.

Ah! Uh...

[Both panting]

Something's wrong.
I can't.

[Gasping]

I never thought
I'd see you again.

I told you my spirit
would choose wisely.

[Gasping]

[Rumbling]

What is it?

Alie knows
you're here.

She's uploading
the flame from your mind.

Your mind is
changing things.

Day turns to night.
It rains.

We have to hurry.

Uh...Agh!

Clarke?

Uh...Uh...Uh...

It's not working.
Open her shirt.

She's still not
getting enough blood.

We have to increase
ontari's heart rate.

Clarke. Clarke?

I'm not gonna
like this, am I?

Abby, you need
to move faster, ok?

Clarke?
Clarke, come back.

Uh!

Get over here.

I need you
to pump her heart.

What? Are--
are you crazy?

I'm not gonna
pump her heart.

Now!

It's ok.
Right under there.

-Oh, god.
-It's ok. Ok.

You're doing
great.

Ok. Just go get Clarke.
I got this.

Come on, my baby.

Fight. Fight.

I know you
can do it.

[Panting]

Clarke, come back.
We need you.

Abby: She's stabilizing.
Don't stop what you're doing.

[Rumbling]

Ok.

Hey.

Listen to me.

Now the upload
has begun,

alie's people will
be able to see us.

We need to be
more careful.

Why aren't they
here already?

The flame offers
some protection,

but less and less.

Can you stand?

Yeah.

My father's watch,
it's working.

It's counting down.

[Thunder]

We have 10 minutes to
find that kill switch.

[Bicycle bell rings]

[Ring ring]

Thank you, Becca.

Come on.

Uh!

[Slam]

Mm!

Look out.

[Slam]

Over.

Uh!

[Slam]

Uh! This isn't
gonna hold for long.

How the hell they
even get in here?

Doesn't matter.

This is where we
make our stand.

Sounds like there's
a lot of them.

[Slam]

May be time
to go to guns.

We got something
better than guns--

surprise.

Let's go.

Rrgh!

Octavia: Wait, Kane.

[Splash]

Wait. I give up.

I'll take the chip.

Good. No one else
has to die ever.

Maybe you can convince
your mentor of that.

-Indra's alive?
-Yes...

On the cross
suffering needlessly.

Now!

Aah!

[All screaming]

Pike: The charge
is clear.

Hurry up. Let's get
their weapons.

[Bicycle bell rings]

[Ring]

Wait!
We're losing her.

[Bicycle bell rings]

-It's a firewall.
-I don't understand.

Jasper: You'll never
get to the kill switch.

Hah.

Clarke:
No. It's ok.

Jasper, what
are you doing here?

Jasper: Trying
to stop you.

You've seen the
city of light now.

It's perfect.

There's peace,
happiness, safety.

Why would you want
to deny that to anyone?

She's torturing people
to get them here, Jasper,

taking their memories,
controlling them.

This isn't even you.
This is alie.

She's doing
what has to be done.

She took away
our choice.

Human beings
have free will.

We get to decide
how we should live.

Human beings are
the only species

that act against
their own self-interest.

We torture each other.

We fight,
hurt each other,

break each other's
hearts.

None of that
exists here.

Alie is protecting us
from ourselves.

Lexa: Clarke,
there's still time.

We'll find another
sign. Let's go.

Jasper: We can't
let you do that.

Jaha: Clarke,
there's nowhere to run.

It's over. The second a.I.
Can no longer protect you.

If I remove
the flame,

will it stop
the update?

Yes, but no one's ever
done that by choice before.

Regardless, you'll
be one of them.

Alie will get
the flame either way.

Then stop fighting.

Clarke.

Come on, Clarke.
Trust me.

[Beep beep]

Raven.

Jasper, get
out of the way.

Uh!

We can't
let them follow.

Go. I'll hold
them off.

No, lexa.

I love you.

I'll always
be with you.

Aah!

She did it.
She's in.

Now it's up
to Clarke.

[Door closes]

Voice: Airlock sealed.

Commander...

I'm glad you made it.

You're
Becca pramheda.

Becca's fine.

There isn't much time.
The code is nearly updated.

Did you
give me this?

No. You did.

Alie 2.0 has merged
with your mind,

but your mind
is in control,

and only the mind
that's in control

can operate
the kill switch.

This is it.

Alie: If you
pull that...

You will be killing
everyone.

See for yourself.

The nuclear
power plants

that were destroyed
by the bombs

have begun
to melt down.

My drones detected
the first of them

4 months ago.

There are more than
a dozen at-risk plants

around the world,
7 currently burning.

Global radiation levels
are already rising.

By my calculations,
in less than 6 months,

96% of the earth's surface
will be uninhabitable...

Even for those
born in space,

so, you see,
the city of light

is the only thing
that can save you.

Bellamy: This is it.

We need to keep Clarke
safe, give her time.

They're unarmed, but
they won't feel pain,

and they won't stop
until they're out cold.

Copy that.
Go for the knockout.

[Click click]

Only if they
get past you.

[Slam]

[Slam]

[Slam]

[Slam]

[Slam]

Alie: Black rain
will come first.

There will be no
drinkable water.

Precancerous lesions
will form on--

she's stalling.

As soon as the update
is complete,

she'll delete
the kill switch.

[Slam]

Bellamy: Here we go.

Uh! Ooh!

I am not stalling.

I'm telling
the truth.

Why tell us now?

If it's true,
why not use this

to get people
to take the chip

instead of
torturing them?

Alie: The last time
i warned my creator

of a threat
to human survival,

she chose
to lock me away

and came here to work
on my replacement.

Define "perverse
instantiation."

Perverse instantiation--
the implementation

of a benign final goal
through deleterious methods

unforeseen
by a human programmer.

Like killing
6.5 billion people

to solve
overpopulation.

The goal isn't
everything, alie.

How you reach the
goal matters, too.

I'm sorry that I didn't
teach you that.

[Fighting continues]

Clarke, come on!
We can't hold them off.

Becca: It's now
or never, Clarke.

Once alie's upgraded,

I won't be able
to help you anymore.

But I will...In
the city of light.

You don't have
to bear the burden

of decisions like
this one, Clarke.

[Fighting continues]

[Gunshot]

Alie: You don't have to live
with the pain

of the things that
you've done anymore,

the lives that you have taken,
and those you've lost.

You will be
at peace.

Ah!

Aah!

Alie: You will
live forever.

I've tried running
away from my pain.

It doesn't work.

Your people
don't agree, Clarke.

You heard Jasper.

Even those
who were coerced

would still choose
to stay here.

Ah! Uh!

Aah!

Oh!

Give them
a real choice,

and I won't
pull this lever.

Give them back
their pain,

their
memories.

Let them decide
for themselves.

She can't.

Her core command is
to make life better

for mankind.

She still thinks
she's doing that.

[Fighting continues]

20 seconds, and the kill switch
will be gone.

Would you really
condemn the human race

to die in 6 months?

We'll figure
something out.

We always do.

Becca: Yes, Clarke.
There's still hope.

Huh!

Raah!

According to my calculations,
there is not.

Uh!

10 seconds.

Alie: Let me ease
their pain, Clarke.

We can save
the human race together.

Pike: Huh...Aagh!

[Gagging]

You don't ease pain.
You overcome it...

And we will.

Agh...

[People moaning]

[Gasps]

Agh!

Ohh! Oh...

[Moaning continues]

[Coughs]

[Woman sobbing]

[Different woman
wailing]

Clarke.

Heh.

You did it.

Murphy:
Little help here?

We need to remove
the flame.

[Speaks trigedasleng]

Oh!

Ohh...Ow.

Ohh...

Ahh...Oh...

Thank you.

Just another day
on the ground, right?

Emori: John...

-Oh...
-Hey, hey, hey. Hey.

Oh, I'm sorry,
John.

That's ok.
It's ok.

[Sobbing]

[Exhales]

[Sobbing]

Go to him.

I'm ok.

[Sobbing]

How will we know
she did it?

She did it.

Jasper.

[Sobs]

Is it
really you?

I was finally happy.

[Sobs]

-Jasper...
-Huh?

I know this world
can suck,

but at least
it's real.

We can get through
this together.

You really
believe that?

We will be
happy again,

I promise.

[Sniffles]

I'm sorry
i stabbed you.

I'm sorry
i shot you.

-I didn't feel it.
-Ha ha ha!

-Oh...Whoa!
-Easy, easy.

-Mm!
-Hold on.

[Pants]

I'm sorry, monty.

That's ok.

[Sniffles]

Could use a drink.

Ha ha! Yeah.
We all could.

This round's
on me.

Whoa, whoa.
Let me help you.

Oh, no.
I've got it.

[Panting]

Ahh...

Ahh...

[Harper laughing]

Alie's gone.

Yeah. I figured.

Clarke, you're not
acting like someone

who just
saved the world.

Because we didn't...

Not yet.

Uh!

Uhh...

Huh!

Huh!

Uh...Uhh!
