The 100 (2014–…): Season 4, Episode 2 - Heavy Lies the Crown - full transcript

The burden of leading weighs heavily upon Bellamy (Bob Morley) and Clarke (Eliza Taylor) when different challenges force them to determine who will live and die.

Previously on "the 100"...

In the name
of king roan,

polis is now
under azgeda rule.

The reason alie created
the city of light,

nuclear reactors
inside power plants

that survived the bombs
are melting down.

If we can't figure out
a way to fix it,

all of us will be
dead in 6 months.

Indra: There are a thousand
ice nation warriors

on the street
who want to kill us today.

They won't kill us.



Octavia: How could you
possibly know that?

Clarke: Roan, we need your help.
Something's coming.

Roan: Our ancestors
survived praimfaya.

Not this time,
not without us.

Roan: I, king roan of azgeda,
let it be known

that an attack against skaikru
is an attack against us all.

Kane: We'll do our best to
keep the king on his throne.

We'll find a way to
beat the radiation.

Octavia: If either of you
screw this up, we die.

Ok, Princess.
What now?

Now we survive.

Woman: No.

Woman: No.

No!



Do it.
She'll break.

No!

No.

Put the knife
to your own throat.

No. Ohh...

Clarke, don't.

No.

Yaah!

You are a terrible
influence.

Roan is
expecting me.

Abby...

Jake's a part
of who you are.

Go. The king
need you...

But be careful.

The tower's
safe enough,

but we're on
dangerous ground here.

Welcome to your
throne room, my king.

Now that the lift
has been repaired,

I've doubled the guard
on the doors at every floor.

Expecting trouble?

I trust only azgeda.

Your mother taught me that.
Our people loved her for it.

Our people
feared her, echo.

Because she was fierce
and vicious.

My mother's ambition,
her disregard

for lexa's alliance
got her killed.

If I may, why do you insist
on ruling as lexa did

when it's not what's
best for our people?

At least tell me
there's a reason.

Kane: Forgive the intrusion,
your highness.

May we have a word...

Privately?

Echo: You can wait
like the other ambassadors.

Echo, leave us...

Please.

We were right to be
concerned about trishanakru.

Rafel is gonna
challenge you for control.

Bold move for
a new ambassador.

So? Let him come.

With respect,
you're still recovering.

The law says you
could pick someone

to fight
in your place.

No. The clans
will never accept

a leader who hides
behind the law

or another
warrior's blood.

You'll lose.

Lexa kicked your ass without
a bullet hole in your chest.

We should
cancel the gathering

or delay
until you're strong enough.

No. Letting
the ambassadors

have a voice keeps
the peace here.

Azgeda holds this city
through force alone,

and the flame won't keep
the clans at bay forever.

If they unite
against us,

we could lose,
and if we lose--

they come
for skaikru.

And the radiation
comes for us all.

No one has to die.

The point of
our arrangement

is to give us time to find
a solution to save everyone.

And how is that
solution coming?

We're working on it.

In the meantime,
I'm here to keep you in power.

Let me talk
to the ambassador.

Go ahead.
Talk...

But...

If you fail,

I'll have no choice
but to fight.

Bellamy: We've been
at this for two days.

There must be something
we're not thinking of.

What if
we could reach

the nearest
nuclear reactor?

I told you, the meltdown
started months ago.

There's no magic button
to turn them off.

Today this isn't black rain,
but it will be soon.

That's why we have to focus
on riding out the radiation,

finding someplace safe
and big enough

to hold all 500 of us.

Clarke: This isn't just
about saving us.

I made a promise to roan.
It's about saving everyone.

Raven: And that's why
we need to tell everyone.

Crowdsource it.

If there's another
mount weather out there,

the grounders
will know about it.

And you think they're
just gonna tell us

just like that?

If we tell everybody
they're gonna die,

the coalition
is over, roan falls,

and the grounders
will be at our gate.

Raven: Then just
tell our people.

We need more minds
on this problem.

On the ark,
people volunteered

for the culling because
they were told the truth

and given a choice...

A choice your dad
died for.

You think I've
forgotten that?

Bellamy: Ok.
We'll tell everybody the truth

as soon as we have
a viable solution.

Without one,
it'll start a panic.

-You don't know that.
-That's it.

What are you
talking about?

Think.

Alpha station survived
for 97 years in space

through elevated
radiation levels

and extreme
temperature fluctuations.

Sound familiar?

All we have to do
is patch up the ship.

We're standing
in our viable solution.

Heh.

Bellamy: Raven says we can
get it sealed up in a month.

-The ark is our ark.
-I get it.

Miller: Ok, so freeze-dried meat
until we can grow our own food.

We got oxygen scrubbers,
but how do we store

enough water
for 500 people?

We don't.

That's why we're
heading to farm station.

Why the hell
would we do that?

It's in the damn
ice nation.

You just said it.

We need
a hydro-generator,

and farm station has
one for the crops.

Think you can
get us there?

No way.
Find another machine.

Look. There are no others,
and without it,

we won't last a year
inside this ship,

let alone 5.

Fine. I'm in.
Bryan stays here.

His leg's
still healing.

I'm in, too.

Good.
We roll in an hour.

You don't
have to do this.

Actually,
yeah, I do.

Since octavia
murdered pike,

I'm the only one left
who knows where it is.

Why are you defending him?
Pike was a dictator.

He was an elected
chancellor,

and if you don't
care about that,

he kept me alive
for 3 months.

Then why did you help us turn
him over to the grounders?

To save you, Nate.

Sorry.

monty: Nice cap.

You know you're wasting
our drinking water, right?

You know we're all gonna
die in 6 months, right?

Not if we find what
we're looking for today.

Oh, please.

Tell me about
another pointless task

Clarke has
roped you into

or, better yet,
don't.

I don't want to keep
any more of her secrets.

We're going back
to farm station.

Why don't you
come with us?

Monty...

Look at me.

I'm really
trying not to.

I'm fine, all right?
I'm having fun.

Jasper--

I'm not gonna
kill myself--

what's the point?--
But you know what?

If you want
to cheer me up,

while you're
at farm station,

get that weed
we stashed

behind the wall
of your old bedroom.

Huh?

Don't leave me
hanging, man. Just--

yes.

Music to my ears.

Hey, you want a hug?

Hey, uh,

blueprint for
the hydro-generator,

and don't forget, it's
filled with hydrazine

that combines with
oxygen to make water,

so go slow.

Or the hydrazine
could go boom.

I know.
Raven, I got this.

Don't you have
a ship to fix?

Battery's full.

If we're lucky,

we won't have
to stop to recharge.

If we're even luckier,
roan's seal will work

the way it's
supposed to.

If you get in trouble,
just show this.

Got it. Thanks.

Load up.

You can still
come with us.

No. I can't.

Arkadia is just plan "b."
It doesn't help the grounders.

I'm not stopping
until we have a solution

that saves everyone.

We save who
we can save today.

All right. Let's go.

Uh!

Uh!

Bellamy: This is
as close as we can get.

From here,
we go on foot.

Miller: We get the machine
and get out of here.

I don't want to stay here
any longer than we have to.

Miller: Guys, got a problem.

Miller: The barn isn't empty.

They moved in.

If it's the same guys
who attacked us,

with our guns,
we could take them.

Bellamy:
I'm sure we could,

but we didn't
come here to fight.

They butchered us,
killed kids,

our friends,
our families.

I don't like it
any more than you do,

but bellamy's right.

We need that machine.

Harper: Uh, guys?

Bellamy:
Weapons down. Now.

Now!

Bellamy: Bryan, now.

Ok. It's just--

uh!

Where did you
get this?

King roan.

Skaikru and azgeda
are allies.

He sent us to get

a part of the ship,
a machine.

Look.

If we'd come
to take this place back,

there'd be a lot more of us,
and you know that.

Where is this machine
for the king?

Raven: We've got
a lot of work to do

to get the ship
ready for winter.

Sector 4--
the crack in the outer wall,

we need to patch it up.

Start by repairing
the damaged panels.

Sector 5--we need
to get that tree

out of the hole
and seal it up.

Any questions?

Ok. Go.

Clarke: You ok?

There is so much to do,
and I get a total

of 5 volunteers
to help me fix the ship?

That's a start.

I can't run this repair
alone, Clarke,

even if I had
complete mobility,

even if
sinclair was still alive.

Who--who the hell am i
giving them orders?

I'm--I'm not
the chief.

I'm not
the chancellor,

but here we are.

For what it's worth,
there's nobody

I trust more
to do this than you.

As soon as bellamy gets
back with that machine,

we go public
with everything

and get you the help
that you need.

Jaha:
Am I interrupting?

What do you want?

I was an engineer
before I was chancellor.

I supervised the redesign
of sector 5.

And how many people
died from sector 5

in the culling
when you sucked

the air
out of their lungs?

42.

Would you like
to know their names?

Raven, wait.

We could
use the help.

You do know he
made me cut my wrist

to force your mom
to take the chip, right?

He was chipped, too.

He searched for
the city of light.

He bought alie here.

He showed her how to
overcome free will.

Jaha: Yes.
Those are my sins...

And I have
to live with them.

Raven...

You want to help?

Go sort the scrap.

Whatever you need.

Ever meet a grounder who
could power up a spaceship?

Do what you came to do.

Bellamy: No.

Up there,
the generator.

Let's go.

Riley? Riley...

Bellamy:
Bryan, wait.

We thought
you were dead.

Only the machine.
The rest is ours.

Come on.

Ah!

Huh! Agh...

Agh...

Abby: Let me
take a look.

You're healing, but
you need more time.

I don't have time.

Rrgh...

Oh!

Uh!

I would be honored to take
your place in this fight.

I will not run
from this challenge.

Abby: Echo's right.

I didn't save your life
so that you

could tear yourself
apart again.

Since when are you two
on the same side?

And if you
can't help me,

why the hell
are you still here?

This fight can
still be avoided.

Protecting skaikru
gives the other clans

an excuse
to challenge you.

Let me take care
of the problem.

Let me do what your
mother would have done.

Then please
just tell me,

what did
wanheda offer?

What deal
is worth losing

the faith
of your people?

Chance to survive
the end of the world.

That's what they're
offering to all of us.

Soon, praimfaya will once
again destroy everything.

Skaikru's trying
to stop it.

My king, they're
lying to you.

They'd say anything
to save themselves.

Let me
prove it to you.

Send me to arkadia.

Your only concern now
should be helping me win.

Once I do, you may
go to arkadia,

prove my trust
in wanheda's deserved.

Ambassador,

may we speak privately?

We know you plan
to challenge king roan.

I'd like to ask you
to reconsider.

Ask? After everything
your people have done,

you expect diplomacy?

Skaikru's not
your enemy.

Skaikru made me murder
my entire family.

I have no one left.

I'm sorry
for your loss,

but the chip
technology,

it affected all of us,
every clan.

You blame skaikru
for the city of light.

Shouldn't you also credit
us for destroying it?

After everything
we've suffered,

why spill more blood?

The clans are
stronger together.

Heh. You see, ilian?

The king can't fight,
or his minions

wouldn't be here
trying to stop us.

If the king
wasn't hurt,

do you think this coward
would give a crap

about your family?

Since you landed here,
your people have done

nothing but rip
our world apart.

Kane:
Rafel, I urge you,--

you reap what
you sow, ambassador.

The time of skaikru
is over.

Well, that went well.

Clarke: Oh, there's
too many people.

Damn it!

hey...

Can we talk?

sure.

I got about 6 months,
no waiting. What's up?

I'm trying to make
sure that we have

more than 6 months,
which is why

these people need
to get back to work.

I didn't force them
to stop.

I guess they think
it's the end of the day,

not, you know,
the end of days.

Don't you want us
to survive, Jasper?

No. I don't want
us to survive.

I want us to live.

If we don't
repair that ship,

none of us will
have that chance.

And what about
free will?

That's why you
destroyed alie, right?

Why don't you tell
them all the truth?

Keep
your voice down.

Should let them decide
what they want to do

with their last
6 months.

What are you
so afraid of?

We can't just go to them
with no solutions.

-People will panic.
-Ah, I see. Hmm.

That's spoken
like the council

that sent a hundred kids
to die on the ground.

hmm.

byran:
I don't care that we're unarmed.

We can't just leave them.

Harper: We're in
the coalition now,

so we ask the king
to free them.

That's our
best bet.

Not if it means
leaving Riley.

Bellamy: No. We won't, ok,
but Harper's right.

We try diplomacy first.

If that doesn't work,
we come back

with reinforcements
for the slaves

after we take home
the machine, right?

Bryan: Yeah.

Bellamy:
They're moving them.

Hey, it's now
or never.

Are there any other
exits in here?

Bryan: No. This is
completely sealed.

Came down from space
in here

because it's the most secure
room in the ship.

It's designed
that way

in case
the hydrazine blew.

What?

We have a bomb.

Miller: Wait a second.

The end of the world is coming,
and you want to destroy

the one thing that'll
keep our people alive?

Yeah. Not all
of our people.

What about Riley?

I vote that
we take it home.

No. Blow it up.

Harper: I'm with Bryan.

I know what it's like
to be locked up and afraid.

You didn't leave us
in mount weather.

We shouldn't
leave them here.

Can we build
another machine?

No way. The tech's
too advanced.

We have 6 months.
We have raven.

Are you telling me
she can't figure out

another way
to make water?

Yes. Look.

I know you want to make up
for the things you've done--

believe me, we all do--

but we need to think
of the big picture--

25 people
instead of 500.

We're talking about
the human race, bellamy.

We need to get this machine
back to arkadia.

It's the only way.

It's two to two,
your call, bellamy.

What's it gonna be?

-Watch it, Miller.
-Wait. Wait. Wait.

Just set it down here.

Now!

-Bryan, come on!
-Run! Move! Move!

-Uh!
-Uh!

-Uh!
-Rrgh!

Ok, Nate. This isn't your kill.
This isn't your kill.

Uh!

This is monty's kill.

What are you
talking about?

This is the man that
murdered your father.

Uhh...

You don't
have to do this.

Yeah. I do.

Hrah! Huh! Huh!

Rrgh...Rrgh...

Aah! Aah!

Get off! Aah! Aah!

Get off!
Get off! Aah!

Raven?
Raven, you here?

Polyethylene
silicone elastomers.

We don't need that
for a winter storm

or to protect us
from a grounder attack.

What are we really
bracing Alpha station for?

Heavy
lies the crown.

I know the burden
of keeping a secret

you think is going
to destroy your people.

You locked me up.

You floated
my father.

And now you
understand why.

No leader starts out
wanting to lie

or imprison or execute
their people.

The decisions you face
just whittle you down

piece by piece.

So what do I do?

I'll tell you what
i told your mother

after the culling.

We make the best
decisions that we can

with the information
that we have,

then hope that there's
a forgiving god.

Can roan fight?

It's too soon.

One simple task,
and I'm failing.

No. You'll
figure it out.

Hmm.

What's wrong?

There's nothing more
that I can do for roan.

Ah.

You need to go back
to arkadia, to Clarke.

Your necklace.

What the hell
do you want?

I'm here to ask you

one last time
to back down.

Hmm, you trying
to frighten me,

little girl?

If your problem
really is with skaikru,

not roan, then
challenge me instead.

We can settle this.

Ha ha! You're not
worth my blade.

I came here
to change your mind.

Hmm. You can't.

Trishanakru will
have its justice.

Now leave before i--

long live the king.

Roan, please, it's not
too late to cancel.

Roan: You failed.
We do this azgeda's way.

Take your seat,
ambassador.

Where is rafel
kom trishanakru?

The ambassador was found
dead this morning.

His heart stopped.

Let us begin.

You gonna
kill me, too?

I don't know what
you're talking about.

Roan: I honor lexa kom trikru.

We are stronger together.

Hey, bry...

We ok?

Just tell me
you think

saving these people
was worth it.

I wish I could.

-Hey--
-i can't.

I can't.
I'm sorry.

Bryan--

uh!

Riley?

Clarke.

Riley...

I can't believe
you're alive.

I am now.

Get Riley and the
others to medbay

and tell them
we'll take them

to their villages
in the morning.

Raven: Where is it?

We didn't
get the machine.

It didn't
survive landing?

No. It did,
but I had a choice--

bring the machine home
or use it to save them.

Oh, we are
so screwed.

We have time,
but I am not sacrificing

any more
innocent lives.

You just did.

I made the call,
and I'll live with that.

Yeah. You're not
the only one

who has to live
with your call,

as usual.

Well, go tell them.

Go tell Riley
i should've left them to die.

Ok. How many of us
will the ship sustain

without
a hydro-generator?

No more than a hundred.

What am I supposed
to tell the people now?

The truth.

Crowdsource it
like we talked about.

Call for
a general meeting.

What are you
gonna do?

Hope that there's
a forgiving god.

Clarke: So now you know
the truth.

I know you're afraid.

I know you're angry,
but when I shut down alie,

I knew there was a way for us
to get through this together.

Alpha station is that way.

Every single one of us

will survive on this ship.

It won't be easy.

Raven needs volunteers if we're
gonna get it ready in time.

It'll be a lot of work,

but now you understand
why we need to do it.

If we stick together,

I give you my word,

we won't just survive.

We'll thrive.

Nice speech.

Sometimes hope is
more important than truth.

You dad would be
so proud.

You wanted workers.
You got them.

Everyone
to the hangar bay. Now.

We save who
we can save today.
