The 100 (2014–…): Season 4, Episode 8 - God Complex - full transcript

Clarke and Abby question how far they're willing to go when they make a disappointing discovery; Jaha finds a lead to the Second Dawn.

Previously on "The 100"...

There might be a fallout shelter

built to sustain thousands.

The second dawn.

They built a bunker?

Their whole theology
was based on riding out

the end of the world.

I have bad news, Abby.
Black rain's here.

It's worse than we thought.

It burns on contact.
It kills.

We need a solution.



We can't create nightblood
unless we go to space,

but Luna can.

We can inject ourselves
with her bone marrow.

Then we become nightbloods.

The only way to know if it works

is to test it.

Who do we test?

Baylis. You don't
know what he did to me.

I'm gonna make him
suffer for what he did

to me and my brother.

Wait.

What if his death
could save us all?

Hey. If this works,
we survive.

It's as simple as that.



Vital signs are strong.

Jackson, seal the chamber.

Copy that.

He's ready.

Yeah. But are we?

The guy's a monster.

We've been over this.

None of us wants to do this,

but the death wave
will be here in 10 days.

Luna's stem cells
grafted successfully.

Baylis is making
nightblood on his own.

This really is our only hope.

We really still
talking about this?

Black rain is already here.

18 people died in it
yesterday at Arkadia,

so if nightblood can
let us walk around in it,

I, for one,
want to know about that.

Ok.

Jackson, proceed.

Copy that.

Initiating.

500 rem.

850.

This is where we'd see symptoms
in a non-nightblood.

BP is 100 over 50.

Body temp is 98.7.

Resting comfortably.

No visible effects.

1,000 rem.

1,500.

All good here.

2,000 rem,
the level of the black rain.

Still nothing. It's working.

2,500.

Wait.

No.

Turn it off.

En's sting in!
En's sting in!

Aah!

Get him out of here.

Wait. It's
not safe yet.

What have we done?

I know it took courage

to be outside with us today,

to stand together now
in the face of grave danger

and grave tragedy.

On the ark, rain like this
was only a dream.

Now it's a nightmare,

because we know it could turn
at any second and kill us,

just like it did to 18 of
our brothers and sisters,

who we honor today

among them, Erin, Samuel,
and Louis.

May we meet again.

May we meet again.

Too many funerals,
too little time.

Show some respect for the dead.

What for?
They don't mind.

Hey, where you going?

Wherever the day takes me.

You got a chem tent?

Nope.

Jasper. Jasper.

No one leaves
without a chem tent.

Do you have a chem tent?

- Yeah.
- Good. Then we have a chem tent.

Maybe you didn't see
how those people died.

I saw. I'm just not afraid

of it happening to me.

Jasper, it's not safe out there.

What else is new?

Come on.
We're losing daylight.

Jasper.

Jasper. Damn it. Hey.

Grow the hell up.

Good. You're coming.

Yeah, but only because

I don't want to carry
your body bag.

Oh, come on.
I'm pretty light.

I mean, I'm wiry, but I'm light.

Kriken sonraun en branon.

Kom graun, oso Na groun op.

Kom folau, oso Na gyon op.

That's beautiful.

What's it mean?

From the earth, we will grow.

From the ashes, we will rise.

What did you just say?

Sorry. I didn't think
you would mind if I...

Niyah, "from the ashes
we will rise."

Where does that come from?

Come from?

You'd have to ask a fleimkepa.

All I know is it's what we say

to ready our dead for the fire.

It's not a coincidence, Marcus.

I need to speak
with the flamekeeper.

You already found
the second dawn bunker.

It was...

The wrong bunker.

Cadogan said only
those who reached

level 12 would be saved.

This is level 11.

What I found was a decoy

built to keep the level 12
bunker from being overrun.

How could you
possibly know that?

Because that's what I would do.

And you think Indra's daughter

knows where the real bunker is?

I think there's a reason

"from the ashes we will rise"
became a grounder prayer

just like I think
there was a reason

that a corporate logo
became their sacred symbol.

The infinity sign.

Yes.

I can reach out to Indra.

She might know where Gaia is.

I'll assemble a team.

Thelonious, wait.

Polis is a war zone.

We won't be welcome there.

So we travel light.

For this, we'll need
thinkers, not fighters.

What's going on?

Kane and Jaha need
an engineer for a mission.

Kane and Jaha!

Well, looks like someone's

moving up in the world.

It's just too bad in 10 days,

there won't be a world
to move up in.

How much have you had to drink?

Just the right amount.

Harper.

I get it.

Duty calls.

Hey, hey. Hey.

We will find a way out of this.

I have to go.

So go.

I'll be here if you get back.

When. I mean when.

How's the weather, Reyes?

Forecast still calling
for death?

The stones of his ancestors.

Abby, take a look at this.

Of course.

What is it?

Sodium polyethanol sulfonate.

It's an additive used
to prevent clotting.

Looks like the radiation
broke it down

and caused a chain reaction.

What happens if we remove it?

We could save everyone.

You could?

So you're saying
this can still work.

Not without testing.

The last guy just died,
screaming in agony,

and you want to try it again?

Give us a better
idea, raven. Please.

So what, we just go out there,

hunt for someone else?

No one's going anywhere
in this storm.

Then we wait for it to pass.

When it does, there may not be

anyone left to hunt for.

Hunting for someone
else to kill.

What's the matter
with you people?

Even Baylis honored the dead.

He wore the stones of
his rock line ancestors.

Who will honor him?

Wait.
Baylis was sangedakru.

He was.
He was also a thief.

He probably stole those stones.

A thief who didn't bear the mark

of sangedakru.

That wasn't Baylis, was it?

Come on, Clarke. That's
crazy. Of course...

Who did we just kill?

- Hey, Emori...
- Emori, no!

Hey, hey, hey, hey.

- Aah!
- Emori, go easy.

John, take out the machine!

Don't do anything
stupid, Murphy.

Looks like we know who's next.

I know it's bad and
everything is dying and all,

but I'm just gonna say it...
I don't miss mosquitoes.

Don't miss them.

This is all a big
joke to you, isn't it?

Now you're getting it.

That's exactly what it is.

One big cosmic joke.

You'd realize that, too,
if you pulled

the stick out of your ass.

That's enough.
That is enough.

I'm just trying to help you.

Oh, you're trying to help me.

That's funny.

It's late.
We're leaving. Now.

Damn it.
Open your eyes!

The clock is ticking,
and it has been

since we landed
on this terrible...

Beautiful planet.

What the hell does that mean?

It means we are living on
borrowed time, all of us.

So if you know that,

why are you throwing it away?

I'm not. You are.

What is the point
in beating yourself up

over all of the... the crappy
things you've done?

You did them!

And... and don't say
you had reasons,

because at the end of the day,

at the end of the world,

nobody gives a damn
about your reasons,

because they are your reasons.

No matter how much
you punish yourself,

it's not gonna change anything.

It's not gonna bring
anyone back.

The way I see it is

we can spend our last days

wallowing in our reasons

or we can do...

We can do whatever
the hell we want!

Really mean it this time.

Magic beans.

Remember those?

Hallucinogenic nuts.

That's why you
dragged me out here?

If you think I'm
taking those again,

you really are crazy.

Whatever the hell you want.

Now you're gonna lock us up?

What, she was just trying
to save her own life.

Well, we're not gonna touch

your stupid machine, all right?

Please, Clarke!

Can't do this
to us, raven, please.

Don't let them do this to us.

Don't let them do this to us.

Please tell me you're not
actually considering

putting Emori in that chamber.

Mom, I don't know
what else to do.

There is nothing else to do.

We all know it.

Abby, there has to be something

that doesn't make us murderers.

Jackson and I have
examined every possibility.

And the only thing
that we know for sure

is that if we do nothing,

we die.

Jackson, prep Luna
for the next extraction.

No. You've taken enough.

Luna, it's ok.
We'll sedate you.

I said no.

I won't allow my blood to kill

any more innocent people.

Luna, please.

Your blood is the one
thing that can save us.

My blood is a curse.

It will, however, keep you

from following me into the rain.

Luna, you can't,
not with that hip.

We can't let you leave.

We need you, Luna.

Is there no line you won't cross

in order to survive?

Survival requires sacrifice.

If the freikdreina dies...

Don't call her that.

If she dies saving the world,

that is a good death.

Luna, please.

You're wounded.

And I don't want to fight you.

You have no choice.
Remember?

Aah!

Sleep well, natblida.

So you're gonna strap her down

and take her bone marrow?

Welcome to mount weather.

Black rain.

It fell here, too.

I thought she was your friend.

She is.

That's why we're still alive.

Wait here.

Weapons down.

Indra...

Thank you for meeting me.

I didn't know if you would.

Oh!

Don't smile at me, Kane.
What do you want?

I'm here.
You have 30 seconds.

After that, as the ally
of my enemy,

you are my enemy.

Indra, you have to know
that we had nothing

to do with the attacks
on your land or embassy.

What I know is that Azgeda

marched on Arkadia,
and yet you made

another alliance
with them, a deal

to save their people, not mine.

I know how it looks,

but, believe me,

we're still trying to find
a way to save everyone.

Then you are a fool.

You're fighting for a city
that won't exist in 10 days.

What's more foolish than that?

The radiation doesn't care

if you're trikru or Azgeda.

If we can't come together
to fight this enemy,

then what hope is there for us?

The only hope we ever have:

To die a warrior's death.

Indra, wait. Indra!

We need to speak
to your daughter.

She could be the one
that saves us all.

How?

Gaia, these men need your help.

The tattoo.
Look. The center.

Still think it's a coincidence?

Where did you get this?

Oh, I found it.

And I now believe it's

so it could lead me to you.

Tell us about the symbol.

Where does it come from?

It's the holy symbol
of our order.

Mother.

Gaia, please.

Skaikru helped you
protect the flame.

Help us now.

It adorns the crypt
of the first commander,

Bekka Pramheda.

Where is the crypt?

You think it's the bunker?

It's in the temple.

Controlled by Azgeda,

as are the tunnels.

So how do we get in?

We fight.

Indra.

Like it or not,

Azgeda is our ally.

We have the royal seal.

No one has to die.

You're assuming they'll
honor the seal.

The closer we get to praimfaya,

the less alliances seem to mean.

How much faith
do you have in yours?

First, we survive.

Then we find our humanity again.

I'm sure they said
the same thing

in mount weather, too.

You ok?

Are you?

Nightbloods.

You'd think I'd have
learned my lesson

after Lexa.

We're doing the right thing.

You sure about that?

Certainty's a luxury
leaders can't afford.

I'm no king.

Maybe not, but you
were born for this.

Lexa knew it, and so do I.

You don't back down
when things get hard.

It's always hard.

And yet here you are.

I know you don't believe it now,

but one day, they will thank you

for what you're doing here.

Murphy won't.

Emori won't.

If it works, they will.

What if it doesn't work?

Then we die knowing

we did everything we could
to save our people.

Did you come up here
to make me feel better?

It's never been my strength.

It's ok!

I carry the seal of your king.

Azgeda planhaka.

Keep your head down.
We agreed. They'll let us pass.

Weapons down.

I'm the skaikru chancellor.

As your ally, we seek
safe passage to the temple.

They were letting us pass!

If there's a bunker there,

Azgeda will never see
the inside.

Come on, Marcus.

It's not our war.

Roan will think
that we did this.

Be quick. Echo
will send reinforcements.

Where is it?

It's beneath the altar.

It's here. I knew it.

Help me.

What does that mean?

It means
"salvation lies within."

We were taught it referred

to the ship that
brought her to us.

How do we open it?

Like every other lock,
Mr. green.

With a key.

Uh! No.

Can you open it or not?

We have to.

We need more time.

Can you reposition your
army at the temple?

If I do that, we lose the tower.

The tower won't save you.

Neither will the ashes
of the first commander,

if that's all that's down there.

Mother, please.

I'll move my guard detail

to the temple door.

Buy you some time.

But I'll need your guns.

Just give her
the damn guns, Marcus.

I fear that jus drein, jus daun

will be the end of us all.

Gaia...

It would seem you
should keep praying.

Got it started without us.

Got what started?

Fun.

Come on.

Everyone's gonna die, Bellamy.

We can go out like them...

Or like us.

The ending's the same,

but who says the
journey has to suck?

I come bearing fruit!

Jobi nuts are

powerful medicine.

You sure about this?

I'm pretty sure.

In that case, I recommend a tea.

Teatime.

Hey.

Dance with me.

I don't dance.

I don't really want to dance.

Come on.

- Yes!
- Ha ha!

Good idea. Let someone else
save the world for once.

Ahh!

Yeah.

John, enough.

You can't stop this.

No. No, Emori. I'm not
letting this happen to you.

You have to.

What?

John, listen to me.

Make them think
you're ok with this.

We make Clarke think
you're still with her.

Emori, I'll kill her if she
even thinks about hurting...

No. Damn it, John.
Think.

Don't give them a reason

to pick you next.

Survive, please.

It's time.

Guys, just wait, ok?
Hear me out.

John.

It'll work this time.

Then how about we
just go with that

and forget the test?

Miller? Miller, don't...

Miller! Miller, I swear
to god, I'll kill y...

Miller, Miller, Miller, please.

Miller, just look at me, man.

You don't need to do this.

I wish that were true.

You don't have to do this!

Who the hell do you
think you are, huh?

I'm trying to save us.

Save us?

Ah, right.

Wanheda, savior of us all!

But maybe you're forgetting
the last time you saved us,

I was saving you!

I'm not forgetting.

You haven't forgotten?

Then, please, you don't
need to do this.

Don't do it.

Please, please, you
don't need to do this.

You know, it's too bad that you

weren't a real nightblood

because then you could
have been commander.

Imagine how many people
you could've killed then.

Tell me something,

after you murder Emori,
am I next?

Ok! I'm begging you,
please. I love her.

Don't do this.

Emori will be fine.

Hey.

Look at me.

If she dies...

You die.

Waah!

Mom...

We have to do this.

I can't.

I'll finish it.

I bear it so they don't have to.

Clarke.

No.

No.

We're testing me.

It worked.

It's been two hours.
How do you feel?

Ready.

I won't let you do it.

Mom, I trust you.

It'll work.

Turn it on.

Jackson, don't.

Clarke...

If you go in there,
you will die.

I saw it.

What are you talking about?

I saw it.

Like I saw the rocket.

We're wasting time.

- No.
- Mom.

- Wait. Abby.
- Mom, don't!

- Abby, don't!
- Abby!

- Stop!
- Stop, Abby!

Don't worry. It'll
all be over soon now.

I can't lose you.

You're ok.

Come on.

I told you,

it has never been opened.

It's now or never.

We were brought here
for a reason, Gaia.

Think. Is there another key?

It... it would have
a "12" on it.

I'm sorry, but we have to go.

You should've brought more guns.

Then move your army
into position.

I will not give up
the tower for the temple

and a door you cannot open.

Thelonious, we can come back.

When, before or after
the death wave?

Leave if you have to go.

I'm not going anywhere.

I'm staying, too.

Maybe we are not worthy.

Maybe we are meant
to burn in praimfaya.

No. We're not
meant to burn.

We were meant to rise
from the ashes.

Wait.

What is it, Monty?

"From the ashes
we will rise."

What if it's not just a motto?

What if it's an instruction?

Do it.

The 12th seal.

Ready? 1, 2...

Hold this temple.

After you, my friend.

Salvation lies within.
