The 100 (2014–…): Season 5, Episode 3 - Sleeping Giants - full transcript
Bellamy leads the charge investigating a potential way home. Meanwhile, Clarke and Madi deal with the new, uncertain threat to their home.
Previously on "The 100"...
I'm sorry they left without you.
Well, I'm not
because if I was with them,
I never would have met you.
Tell Raven to aim for the one
spot of green, and you'll find me.
Why exactly are we
sitting here in the dark?
First we find out who they are
and then we ask them for help.
- Raven?
- Radio sounds.
Their comms might be disabled.
Or the ship could be unmanned.
Doesn't really matter,
as long as they get us
- down to the ground.
- Something's happening.
A second ship.
That must be a transport.
It's headed for the ground.
I used to think that life was
about more than just surviving,
but I'm not sure anymore.
All clear!
Sweep the village and the woods.
Let's find out what
we're dealing with here.
Animals don't feel
guilty when they kill.
They just do it; They kill...
Or they get killed.
Wait. I think he might be a good guy.
There are no good guys.
It was us or them,
kill or be killed.
- What's it mean?
- Means we're not alone.
Simple as that.
Help! Help me!
This way!
Help! Help!
Help!
Help!
Clarke, this isn't right.
Madi, I know that this is our home,
your home.
And they want to take it from us.
That's right.
But he doesn't have to suffer.
We can kill him now, right?
Not yet.
Help!
Oh! Help me!
Hold.
I said hold.
This is not your damn army.
I'm not just gonna let a man...
Help! Help!
Help!
That ridge line, one o'clock.
- Yeah.
- Light it up.
My pleasure.
Madi.
Madi?
Madi, are you OK?
Get up. Run! Run.
They're on the move.
Get me someone to interrogate.
That means alive, McCreary. You copy?
I copy.
On me.
Go to the ship.
Get me a stretcher and a med kit, now.
A med kit?
I didn't know they taught
thoracic surgery in SEAL training.
Maybe if you didn't make
Paxton "Graveyard" McCreary
your right hand, we'd
still have a doctor...
McCreary's still useful,
and so are you, for now.
Go to war with the army you
have, not the army you want.
Why does it have to be war at all?
Spoken like a man who gave
up jets for spaceships.
What can I say? I choose
speed over death every time.
How about life over death, Lieutenant?
Do you choose that, too?
Without this valley, we die.
I'd say that's worth
fighting over, wouldn't you?
Glad we got that cleared up.
Boys and girls, meet Eligius IV.
"Powering a better tomorrow."
Must be a mining ship.
- Mining in space?
- I've heard stories.
Missions sent to mine asteroids
or search for habitable planets,
but that was a hundred years ago.
They got back somehow.
Means they must have fuel.
Well, now there's a ship
with a story to tell.
It looks like one of the
engines was destroyed.
At least the hab is still rotating.
That rotation means
they'll have gravity.
Sorry, lovebirds. No zero-g space sex.
There. There's the docking bay.
I hate to ask this now.
What if they're still inside?
We've been through this.
If they were still inside and saw
a foreign ship trying to board them,
they would shoot us out of the sky.
OK.
Commencing Operation Uninvited Guests.
Firing thrusters in 3, 2, 1.
Emori, soon as I line us up
with the hab, it's all yours.
On my mark.
OK, we're in alignment.
The nav is yours.
It's just like the simulator.
Copy that.
Grounders don't say, "copy that."
This one does. Initiating
docking sequence.
We are so screwed.
Shut up, John.
Why are we losing alignment?
I lost stabilization.
I don't know.
We're coming in too fast!
OK, I got it! I got it!
Switching back to manual.
OK. Hold on. Hold on!
Brace for impact. We're coming in hot!
That was fun. We should
do that again sometime.
OK. Let's go find that fuel.
On me.
Suits off in the cargo hold.
Come on. We got to move fast.
We don't know what we're walking into.
That's just annoying.
If someone was here,
they'd shut it off, right?
Hey, not you.
You should stay in the pod and
run a full diagnostic check.
That was a big impact.
We don't know if we took on any damage.
I can, uh, stay back and help.
How, making stupid little jokes?
Don't take it out on me
because you screwed the
pooch in your big debut, OK?
Hey, hey...
Harper can help Emori.
Everyone else move, now.
This place is like a maze.
"No inmates past this point."
Inmates?
Prison labor.
The mining missions were dangerous.
They sent people they
thought were disposable.
Sounds familiar.
Relax. Our ancestors were
prisoners a hundred years ago.
Their descendants on that transport
ship are survivors, just like us.
The bridge is this way. Come on.
Looks like someone forgot their key.
Jackpot.
Something bad happened here.
- Monty.
- Help you access
the ship's manifest
and schematics so we can
find out where they
keep their hydrazine?
Yes, but first let's kill this alarm.
Thank you.
Fuel systems.
Got it.
Oh, captain's chair.
The ship doesn't run on hydrazine.
They could never store enough
for a long-duration mission.
Well, what, then?
It looks like... hythylodium.
Must be what they were mining for,
incredibly efficient energy...
Spare me the science lesson.
Can we use it to land the pod or not?
Sure, if you want to explode
every cell in your body.
Raven.
Don't worry.
Just because this ship
doesn't run on hydrazine
doesn't mean they
don't have any on board.
The dropship.
Short-range transport.
They'd have to have a
supply for refueling.
Boom.
And the crowd goes wild.
So we have a way down?
We have a way down.
That's not all we have.
Lasercom.
I mean it, McCreary.
I'm not losing any more men today.
Our radios were blocked
by residual radiation
on the Earth, but lasercom was designed
to cut through worse
atmospheric conditions than that.
Well, can we talk to them?
Wait. We don't know
who we're dealing with.
Movement to the northwest.
McCreary, do you see it?
I've got something better
than movement. I've got tracks.
They're hunting our people.
We don't know that.
We know there was no one
else left on the ground.
Whatever this is, Octavia can handle it.
Move over.
Wait. What are you doing?
Finding out who we're dealing with.
We can make it to the
north cave. Come on.
You're hurt.
Here.
We have to hide you. Come on.
All units, be advised.
Subject is armed and dangerous.
We are in her backyard.
She knows the terrain.
Keep your eyes open.
Right here. You need to get in here.
Not without you.
There's no time to
argue about this, Madi.
Get in, now. I'm gonna lead them away.
Now I need you to stay out
of sight, no matter what.
Promise me.
I love you.
There! Something's moving!
This way!
I see her! Moving in!
We'll go south and cut her off.
There she is! On the ridge!
We're closing in!
McCreary, we heard gunfire. Report.
I said report, McCreary.
Relax, Colonel.
I told you we'd get her, and we did.
She's a feisty one. Pretty, too.
Good work. Bring her to me.
We got a lot to talk about.
We got to get down there, now.
We got one.
Let me see her face.
You only caught one?
We only saw one.
I highly doubt she was alone.
How many others in the woods?
Answer the question.
Not yet.
First we pray.
Secure the perimeter.
Her people will come for her.
Good.
- Be ready.
- Let's move.
Look, she's our only link
to what happened here.
I'm thinking using McCreary
for this is a bad idea.
She killed four of our people.
Yes, but after we
landed in their valley,
and we took their village.
Colonel, a proximity alarm was triggered
near the primary docking
point on the mother ship.
Probably nothing, but
I thought I should...
Did you activate kodiak?
Not yet, no. I...
We have security protocols.
Follow them.
Good cop,
you're with me.
Hey, hey, stop!
We need her.
Hey! Enough!
That's enough.
He is not one of us.
We lose four men, and
he doesn't even care.
He is one of us.
None of us is here without Shaw.
None of us is here without me, either.
You remember that.
We all have a role to play,
and we're all upset
about the loss of our men.
Take a team and sweep
the woods for her friends.
Let it go.
You see this?
Blood alteration like
they had on Eligius III.
Two suns, no sunscreen needed.
Must be how they survived down here.
Bring me a med kit. Over.
On my way.
Harris, I'm en route.
How's the search of sector six?
Finishing up now.
- Find anything?
- We got off on the wrong foot, you and I.
We had no idea that there
was anyone alive down here.
How could we have?
We were just trying to get back home.
Imagine our surprise when
we found that there was
no home to get back to,
and then your people
started killing mine.
Surely you can understand why I'm upset.
Just like you were upset
when we took your village.
I don't blame you.
When a fascist government
tried to take my home,
I wanted blood, too,
and I got it.
We're at the lake
now, heading due north.
Nobody else has to die today.
You tell me what I need to know,
and we can come up with an
arrangement that works for all of us.
Sound like a plan?
Maybe she doesn't speak English.
What you got?
She speaks English.
She just wants us to think she doesn't
so we'll speak freely and reveal
something she can use against us.
Every time patrol checks in...
she looks at this.
She's tracking our movements;
that's all she cares about.
You don't want to talk,
that's fine. Don't talk.
But we'll see how you feel when we
find whoever it is you're protecting.
Change of plans, ladies and gentlemen.
No more prisoners.
Shoot to kill.
Go slow, Murphy. This
stuff's combustible.
No kidding. Just tell me
we're going the right way.
This place gives me the creeps.
Yes. We're almost back
to the docking bay.
You're afraid of an empty ship.
You should be more worried about
what's waiting for us on the ground.
I worry about more than
one thing at a time.
It's called multi-tasking.
Well, the old Murphy's back.
I, for one, miss your
stupid little jokes.
- Thank you, Echo.
- Please, don't encourage him.
He just misses his algae farm.
What's that supposed to mean?
It's pretty clear you'd
rather we stay on the ring.
You mean where we were safe, well-fed,
plenty of water,
friends, people we love?
Why would anyone want to stay there?
Come on, man, we were
stuck in a metal tube
for 2,201 days.
- But who's counting?
- That's right.
And while the rest of
us were working every one
of those days to make life
better, to learn things,
you sat on your ass and did nothing,
pushing Emori away because
she deigned to find a skill
that made her more useful than you.
Tell me how you really feel, Monty.
I thought I just did.
You're just mad because I'm excited
to go back down to the ground
instead of hiding from the real world.
- Guys?
- You don't like being called
useless, do you, Murphy?
- Guys?
- I don't know.
Do you like being called a coward?
- Useless.
- Coward.
Guys... you need to see this.
I don't believe it.
Cryosleep.
Cryo.
What does it mean?
Means the prisoners are still here.
They're all full.
There's hundreds of them.
Monty.
Monty.
We already got the fuel, man.
Let's just load it up and
get the hell out of here.
Murphy's right.
Let's go.
All systems check out.
Heh! No thanks to me.
It was your first time at the controls.
Stop beating yourself up over it.
I kicked John out
because he never did
anything to help us get home,
but when it really mattered,
I'm the one who almost
got us all killed.
Maybe he deserves a second chance, too.
It's time to go.
Harper, I need the siphon.
Monty, can you handle the fueling?
I need to go warn Bellamy and Raven.
Warn them about what?
I'll explain. Go.
You were talking about me, weren't you?
Don't flatter yourself, John.
What's going on?
Murder, murder, murder,
arson resulting in murder,
armed robbery resulting in murder.
300 inmates,
25 guards, and 12 crew.
Relax.
Great-great-grandpappy
Blake was an astronaut
with how many Ph.D.s?
4?
And how many do you have?
Oh, wait. Shut up. I got it.
The captain's log.
The last entry was over
a hundred years ago.
Play that one.
Aye, aye, Captain.
I have to make this fast.
The ship has been compromised.
The prisoners found
out about order eleven.
They used an explosion in the
starboard engine bay as a distract...
Most of the crew is already dead.
They're about to take
the bridge. Listen to me!
With the engine damage,
it'll be decades, maybe longer,
before they make it back home.
I tried disabling cryo, but couldn't.
That's quite enough, Captain.
If Eligius makes it back to Earth,
blow it out of the sky!
Diyoza can't be allowed
to weaponize the cargo!
Do you hear me?! I said blow it...
The bridge is yours, Lieutenant.
You said you wouldn't kill the crew.
I said I wouldn't.
You did the right
thing. I won't forget it.
Now do your job
and get us the hell
out of here, Lieutenant.
Cryo?
He said he was trying
to deactivate the cryo...
Bellamy, look out!
Hey! Let her go!
One down...
299 to go.
Not too long ago, I'd have
thought this was magic.
"Any sufficiently advanced technology
is indistinguishable from magic."
Arthur C. Clarke.
How long can they live like this?
Technically? Forever.
Or we can kill them all right now.
What happened to you?
One of them woke up.
Question is how?
No, the question is what
the hell are we waiting for?
I'm serious, OK. We're all gassed up.
Let's pull the plug on this
sleeping army and go home.
That's not an option. Kill
theirs, they kill ours.
Raven?
The pods are all jacked
into the mainframe.
I'm guessing they activated this
one remotely from the ground,
probably in response to
us tripping their alarm.
When he doesn't check in,
they'll wake more of them.
I'd say that's a good bet.
Ergo, my "get the
hell out of here" plan.
Bellamy, you know what happens
when these guys get to the ground.
Murphy's not wrong.
This is an army.
I know how you feel,
but it took three of us
to take out one of them.
Giving them reinforcements
when we can stop it
is a strategic mistake.
We've been off the ring
for less than a day,
and we're already talking about
murdering hundreds of people.
This is not murder. It's survival.
They die now or we die later.
If Clarke was here,
this wouldn't even be...
- Clarke's not here!
- Exactly.
She died so we could live, Bellamy.
This is how we do that.
Maybe not.
We can leave them here like this,
but block the signal from the
ground so they can't wake them up.
They have a shuttle.
They can just come back up
and do it themselves.
Can you rig it so we
can kill them remotely?
It's tricky... but possible. Why?
Leverage...
"put down your weapons
or we pull the plug."
How long do you need
to make that possible?
I don't know, but I'm on it.
Wait.
Murphy.
I want to know what you think.
I think it's a risk.
You're right. It is.
But Clarke didn't die for us to live
just so we can go back to the ground
and make the same mistakes.
What the hell?
Let's be good guys.
Come on.
What harm can come from
telling me your name?
Well, believe it or not,
this is the best conversation I've had
in over a hundred years.
I was an altar boy in
a church just like this.
Saginaw,
about two hours outside Detroit.
On my Harley,
I'd make it in one.
God, I miss that bike...
More than I miss most of the people.
Someone just ran out of that cave.
Harris, watch your six.
Copy that. Tight intercept.
Fast little thing.
We can cut her off at the lake. Go west.
Changing direction now.
Wait, scratch that. She's turning north.
I got a shot.
No.
She's just a child.
She speaks.
- Please.
- Waiting for orders.
How many others are in the woods?
None. It's just the two of us.
I am begging you. Tell him not to shoot.
- Fire at will.
- Copy.
She went behind those twin rocks!
Falk! Take her on the other side!
I know where they are.
That's our summer hunting grounds.
She's leading them into a trap.
I see her. Going in. Cover me.
Listen to me.
If they don't stop right
now, those men will die.
I see her. I'm going in.
- I believe her.
- It's the truth.
If you let her go, I'll
tell you everything.
All units...
Stand down. Over.
If we stand down, she'll get away.
I'm taking the shot.
Falk, if McCreary disobeys,
shoot him in the leg.
Harris, if Falk disobeys,
shoot him in the head.
Standing down.
Good choice.
There may be traps near your position.
Check it out and report back. Over.
Son of a bitch.
Another bear trap.
Almost stepped right in it.
Report to base camp. Over and out.
Thank you.
Thank you for telling the truth.
As long as you keep doing that,
your friend in the woods will
stay alive, and so will you.
Do we understand each other?
Yes.
Good. Then let's begin.
Start with how the world ended.
Which time?
Raven.
Someone has to stay up here.
What?
With remote access to
the cryo-pods blocked,
we won't be able to
operate them, either.
Pulling the plug from the
ground is not an option.
Someone has to stay.
No. No. No way.
OK, we make the threat from
up here on the lasercom.
We won't know if they're
following through.
Look, I've played out every angle.
This only works if we
have eyes on the ground.
Fine.
Show me how to do it. I...
I can't.
There are nine security
measures to be bypassed,
and teaching you would take days, and
knowing you, you'd
probably still screw it up.
It has to be me.
I am not leaving you here.
I'll be fine.
Emori can get you down.
That's what I trained her for.
You need to go and find your sister,
and make a deal for
peace with the prisoners.
Once everyone's friends, they'll
come back up for their people,
and I'll hitch a ride down with them.
What if the threat doesn't work?
You'll be stuck up here, Raven.
You'll have to kill 300 people.
Have you thought about that?
No, no, we'll come up
with something else.
I left Clarke behind to die, and I...
I'm not doing that again.
There's an escape pod, you idiot.
For the captain and first mate.
When this is all over, if you fail,
I can go down in that.
Hey.
Six years ago, I promised myself
I would find a way to get us back down.
Bellamy, this is it.
Please...
let me get you all home.
All right. Let's do this.
Where the hell is she?
It's technical, but, um,
someone has to run things from here.
So let it be John.
I said it's technical.
I'll do it.
Monty, I...
Enough.
It has to be Raven.
Once we have a truce, she'll
come down with the prisoners.
If we fail, she'll take
the ship's escape pod.
Either way, she will be fine.
If I'm flying solo,
she'll be the only one.
You got this.
Let's load up. Let's go.
Now, Murphy.
I'm staying, too.
Look, Raven might need backup.
What? With Emori flying,
this is the survivor's move.
See you on the other side.
You know, it's not a bad view.
Murphy, what the hell
are you doing here?
Keeping you company.
You're welcome, by the way.
Why was everyone so surprised?
I mean, if there wasn't an
escape pod, I could understand...
There isn't an escape pod.
What?
I only told Bellamy that because I knew
he would never leave me
behind without a way down.
You know what?
You're right.
Dying alone would have sucked.
Yeah.
Thanks.
Son of a bitch.
19,000 meters.
OK.
18,000 meters.
OK.
17,000 meters.
Just breathe.
16,000 meters.
Firing the cold gas thrusters
to initiate roll maneuver.
12,000 meters.
Computer...
light boostback engines.
Boostback engines fired
in 3, 2, 1.
- 2,000 meters.
- Deploy landing legs.
Landing legs deployed.
Grid fins activated.
Here we go!
200 meters.
Vertical landing successful.
You did it.
Emori.
Emori.
We didn't die.
No. No, we didn't.
We'll celebrate once Murphy
and Raven are back down, too.
There's no telling
how many people saw us.
We need to take cover in the
trees before they get here.
Yeah.
OK.
It's so quiet.
OK, so how do we find them?
We don't. They'll find us.
They already have.
Everybody, on your knees!
It's OK, it's OK. We
don't want to fight...
- Now!
- No, wait!
We just want to talk.
On the Ark, they taught us
that the war started as
a Chinese first strike,
but they were wrong.
It was started by an
A.I. called A.L.I.E.
Her intention was to reduce the popu...
Colonel, we have five more hostiles.
At least one is armed.
Are we still playing nice?
Stand by.
Find out where they are
and reinforce their position.
You heard her. Grab the gear.
Not you, McCreary.
What did I tell you would
happen if you lied to me?
I didn't lie.
I don't know...
Take her outside.
Use the collar.
I thought you'd never ask.
Colonel...
She's cooperating.
Which is why she'll live.
Her friends, on the other hand...
Four of ours are dead.
It's time to even the score.
Congratulations.
One of you gets to live.
She's just a kid.
Bellamy?
Clarke knew you would come.
Clarke's alive?
She's in trouble. We have to go.
What about the others in the bunker?
Still there.
What? No, no. How can that be?
I'll explain on the way.
I wouldn't do that if I was you.
You might burn your fingers.
Yeah.
Please.
I wasn't lying.
Hit her again.
I don't know who that was.
I guess you made your point.
You might be right.
But just in case,
hit her again.
Hold, and fire on my command.
Madi.
No.
Madi, no.
Take the Rover back. That's the plan.
I won't let anything
happen to Clarke. I promise.
Come out with your hands high.
Unarmed.
Just want to talk.
Talk.
Give me one good reason not
to kill you where you stand.
How about I give you 283?
That's how many of your
people are gonna die
if you and I can't make a deal.
That's far enough.
283 lives for one.
She must be pretty important to you.
She is.
I'm sorry they left without you.
Well, I'm not
because if I was with them,
I never would have met you.
Tell Raven to aim for the one
spot of green, and you'll find me.
Why exactly are we
sitting here in the dark?
First we find out who they are
and then we ask them for help.
- Raven?
- Radio sounds.
Their comms might be disabled.
Or the ship could be unmanned.
Doesn't really matter,
as long as they get us
- down to the ground.
- Something's happening.
A second ship.
That must be a transport.
It's headed for the ground.
I used to think that life was
about more than just surviving,
but I'm not sure anymore.
All clear!
Sweep the village and the woods.
Let's find out what
we're dealing with here.
Animals don't feel
guilty when they kill.
They just do it; They kill...
Or they get killed.
Wait. I think he might be a good guy.
There are no good guys.
It was us or them,
kill or be killed.
- What's it mean?
- Means we're not alone.
Simple as that.
Help! Help me!
This way!
Help! Help!
Help!
Help!
Clarke, this isn't right.
Madi, I know that this is our home,
your home.
And they want to take it from us.
That's right.
But he doesn't have to suffer.
We can kill him now, right?
Not yet.
Help!
Oh! Help me!
Hold.
I said hold.
This is not your damn army.
I'm not just gonna let a man...
Help! Help!
Help!
That ridge line, one o'clock.
- Yeah.
- Light it up.
My pleasure.
Madi.
Madi?
Madi, are you OK?
Get up. Run! Run.
They're on the move.
Get me someone to interrogate.
That means alive, McCreary. You copy?
I copy.
On me.
Go to the ship.
Get me a stretcher and a med kit, now.
A med kit?
I didn't know they taught
thoracic surgery in SEAL training.
Maybe if you didn't make
Paxton "Graveyard" McCreary
your right hand, we'd
still have a doctor...
McCreary's still useful,
and so are you, for now.
Go to war with the army you
have, not the army you want.
Why does it have to be war at all?
Spoken like a man who gave
up jets for spaceships.
What can I say? I choose
speed over death every time.
How about life over death, Lieutenant?
Do you choose that, too?
Without this valley, we die.
I'd say that's worth
fighting over, wouldn't you?
Glad we got that cleared up.
Boys and girls, meet Eligius IV.
"Powering a better tomorrow."
Must be a mining ship.
- Mining in space?
- I've heard stories.
Missions sent to mine asteroids
or search for habitable planets,
but that was a hundred years ago.
They got back somehow.
Means they must have fuel.
Well, now there's a ship
with a story to tell.
It looks like one of the
engines was destroyed.
At least the hab is still rotating.
That rotation means
they'll have gravity.
Sorry, lovebirds. No zero-g space sex.
There. There's the docking bay.
I hate to ask this now.
What if they're still inside?
We've been through this.
If they were still inside and saw
a foreign ship trying to board them,
they would shoot us out of the sky.
OK.
Commencing Operation Uninvited Guests.
Firing thrusters in 3, 2, 1.
Emori, soon as I line us up
with the hab, it's all yours.
On my mark.
OK, we're in alignment.
The nav is yours.
It's just like the simulator.
Copy that.
Grounders don't say, "copy that."
This one does. Initiating
docking sequence.
We are so screwed.
Shut up, John.
Why are we losing alignment?
I lost stabilization.
I don't know.
We're coming in too fast!
OK, I got it! I got it!
Switching back to manual.
OK. Hold on. Hold on!
Brace for impact. We're coming in hot!
That was fun. We should
do that again sometime.
OK. Let's go find that fuel.
On me.
Suits off in the cargo hold.
Come on. We got to move fast.
We don't know what we're walking into.
That's just annoying.
If someone was here,
they'd shut it off, right?
Hey, not you.
You should stay in the pod and
run a full diagnostic check.
That was a big impact.
We don't know if we took on any damage.
I can, uh, stay back and help.
How, making stupid little jokes?
Don't take it out on me
because you screwed the
pooch in your big debut, OK?
Hey, hey...
Harper can help Emori.
Everyone else move, now.
This place is like a maze.
"No inmates past this point."
Inmates?
Prison labor.
The mining missions were dangerous.
They sent people they
thought were disposable.
Sounds familiar.
Relax. Our ancestors were
prisoners a hundred years ago.
Their descendants on that transport
ship are survivors, just like us.
The bridge is this way. Come on.
Looks like someone forgot their key.
Jackpot.
Something bad happened here.
- Monty.
- Help you access
the ship's manifest
and schematics so we can
find out where they
keep their hydrazine?
Yes, but first let's kill this alarm.
Thank you.
Fuel systems.
Got it.
Oh, captain's chair.
The ship doesn't run on hydrazine.
They could never store enough
for a long-duration mission.
Well, what, then?
It looks like... hythylodium.
Must be what they were mining for,
incredibly efficient energy...
Spare me the science lesson.
Can we use it to land the pod or not?
Sure, if you want to explode
every cell in your body.
Raven.
Don't worry.
Just because this ship
doesn't run on hydrazine
doesn't mean they
don't have any on board.
The dropship.
Short-range transport.
They'd have to have a
supply for refueling.
Boom.
And the crowd goes wild.
So we have a way down?
We have a way down.
That's not all we have.
Lasercom.
I mean it, McCreary.
I'm not losing any more men today.
Our radios were blocked
by residual radiation
on the Earth, but lasercom was designed
to cut through worse
atmospheric conditions than that.
Well, can we talk to them?
Wait. We don't know
who we're dealing with.
Movement to the northwest.
McCreary, do you see it?
I've got something better
than movement. I've got tracks.
They're hunting our people.
We don't know that.
We know there was no one
else left on the ground.
Whatever this is, Octavia can handle it.
Move over.
Wait. What are you doing?
Finding out who we're dealing with.
We can make it to the
north cave. Come on.
You're hurt.
Here.
We have to hide you. Come on.
All units, be advised.
Subject is armed and dangerous.
We are in her backyard.
She knows the terrain.
Keep your eyes open.
Right here. You need to get in here.
Not without you.
There's no time to
argue about this, Madi.
Get in, now. I'm gonna lead them away.
Now I need you to stay out
of sight, no matter what.
Promise me.
I love you.
There! Something's moving!
This way!
I see her! Moving in!
We'll go south and cut her off.
There she is! On the ridge!
We're closing in!
McCreary, we heard gunfire. Report.
I said report, McCreary.
Relax, Colonel.
I told you we'd get her, and we did.
She's a feisty one. Pretty, too.
Good work. Bring her to me.
We got a lot to talk about.
We got to get down there, now.
We got one.
Let me see her face.
You only caught one?
We only saw one.
I highly doubt she was alone.
How many others in the woods?
Answer the question.
Not yet.
First we pray.
Secure the perimeter.
Her people will come for her.
Good.
- Be ready.
- Let's move.
Look, she's our only link
to what happened here.
I'm thinking using McCreary
for this is a bad idea.
She killed four of our people.
Yes, but after we
landed in their valley,
and we took their village.
Colonel, a proximity alarm was triggered
near the primary docking
point on the mother ship.
Probably nothing, but
I thought I should...
Did you activate kodiak?
Not yet, no. I...
We have security protocols.
Follow them.
Good cop,
you're with me.
Hey, hey, stop!
We need her.
Hey! Enough!
That's enough.
He is not one of us.
We lose four men, and
he doesn't even care.
He is one of us.
None of us is here without Shaw.
None of us is here without me, either.
You remember that.
We all have a role to play,
and we're all upset
about the loss of our men.
Take a team and sweep
the woods for her friends.
Let it go.
You see this?
Blood alteration like
they had on Eligius III.
Two suns, no sunscreen needed.
Must be how they survived down here.
Bring me a med kit. Over.
On my way.
Harris, I'm en route.
How's the search of sector six?
Finishing up now.
- Find anything?
- We got off on the wrong foot, you and I.
We had no idea that there
was anyone alive down here.
How could we have?
We were just trying to get back home.
Imagine our surprise when
we found that there was
no home to get back to,
and then your people
started killing mine.
Surely you can understand why I'm upset.
Just like you were upset
when we took your village.
I don't blame you.
When a fascist government
tried to take my home,
I wanted blood, too,
and I got it.
We're at the lake
now, heading due north.
Nobody else has to die today.
You tell me what I need to know,
and we can come up with an
arrangement that works for all of us.
Sound like a plan?
Maybe she doesn't speak English.
What you got?
She speaks English.
She just wants us to think she doesn't
so we'll speak freely and reveal
something she can use against us.
Every time patrol checks in...
she looks at this.
She's tracking our movements;
that's all she cares about.
You don't want to talk,
that's fine. Don't talk.
But we'll see how you feel when we
find whoever it is you're protecting.
Change of plans, ladies and gentlemen.
No more prisoners.
Shoot to kill.
Go slow, Murphy. This
stuff's combustible.
No kidding. Just tell me
we're going the right way.
This place gives me the creeps.
Yes. We're almost back
to the docking bay.
You're afraid of an empty ship.
You should be more worried about
what's waiting for us on the ground.
I worry about more than
one thing at a time.
It's called multi-tasking.
Well, the old Murphy's back.
I, for one, miss your
stupid little jokes.
- Thank you, Echo.
- Please, don't encourage him.
He just misses his algae farm.
What's that supposed to mean?
It's pretty clear you'd
rather we stay on the ring.
You mean where we were safe, well-fed,
plenty of water,
friends, people we love?
Why would anyone want to stay there?
Come on, man, we were
stuck in a metal tube
for 2,201 days.
- But who's counting?
- That's right.
And while the rest of
us were working every one
of those days to make life
better, to learn things,
you sat on your ass and did nothing,
pushing Emori away because
she deigned to find a skill
that made her more useful than you.
Tell me how you really feel, Monty.
I thought I just did.
You're just mad because I'm excited
to go back down to the ground
instead of hiding from the real world.
- Guys?
- You don't like being called
useless, do you, Murphy?
- Guys?
- I don't know.
Do you like being called a coward?
- Useless.
- Coward.
Guys... you need to see this.
I don't believe it.
Cryosleep.
Cryo.
What does it mean?
Means the prisoners are still here.
They're all full.
There's hundreds of them.
Monty.
Monty.
We already got the fuel, man.
Let's just load it up and
get the hell out of here.
Murphy's right.
Let's go.
All systems check out.
Heh! No thanks to me.
It was your first time at the controls.
Stop beating yourself up over it.
I kicked John out
because he never did
anything to help us get home,
but when it really mattered,
I'm the one who almost
got us all killed.
Maybe he deserves a second chance, too.
It's time to go.
Harper, I need the siphon.
Monty, can you handle the fueling?
I need to go warn Bellamy and Raven.
Warn them about what?
I'll explain. Go.
You were talking about me, weren't you?
Don't flatter yourself, John.
What's going on?
Murder, murder, murder,
arson resulting in murder,
armed robbery resulting in murder.
300 inmates,
25 guards, and 12 crew.
Relax.
Great-great-grandpappy
Blake was an astronaut
with how many Ph.D.s?
4?
And how many do you have?
Oh, wait. Shut up. I got it.
The captain's log.
The last entry was over
a hundred years ago.
Play that one.
Aye, aye, Captain.
I have to make this fast.
The ship has been compromised.
The prisoners found
out about order eleven.
They used an explosion in the
starboard engine bay as a distract...
Most of the crew is already dead.
They're about to take
the bridge. Listen to me!
With the engine damage,
it'll be decades, maybe longer,
before they make it back home.
I tried disabling cryo, but couldn't.
That's quite enough, Captain.
If Eligius makes it back to Earth,
blow it out of the sky!
Diyoza can't be allowed
to weaponize the cargo!
Do you hear me?! I said blow it...
The bridge is yours, Lieutenant.
You said you wouldn't kill the crew.
I said I wouldn't.
You did the right
thing. I won't forget it.
Now do your job
and get us the hell
out of here, Lieutenant.
Cryo?
He said he was trying
to deactivate the cryo...
Bellamy, look out!
Hey! Let her go!
One down...
299 to go.
Not too long ago, I'd have
thought this was magic.
"Any sufficiently advanced technology
is indistinguishable from magic."
Arthur C. Clarke.
How long can they live like this?
Technically? Forever.
Or we can kill them all right now.
What happened to you?
One of them woke up.
Question is how?
No, the question is what
the hell are we waiting for?
I'm serious, OK. We're all gassed up.
Let's pull the plug on this
sleeping army and go home.
That's not an option. Kill
theirs, they kill ours.
Raven?
The pods are all jacked
into the mainframe.
I'm guessing they activated this
one remotely from the ground,
probably in response to
us tripping their alarm.
When he doesn't check in,
they'll wake more of them.
I'd say that's a good bet.
Ergo, my "get the
hell out of here" plan.
Bellamy, you know what happens
when these guys get to the ground.
Murphy's not wrong.
This is an army.
I know how you feel,
but it took three of us
to take out one of them.
Giving them reinforcements
when we can stop it
is a strategic mistake.
We've been off the ring
for less than a day,
and we're already talking about
murdering hundreds of people.
This is not murder. It's survival.
They die now or we die later.
If Clarke was here,
this wouldn't even be...
- Clarke's not here!
- Exactly.
She died so we could live, Bellamy.
This is how we do that.
Maybe not.
We can leave them here like this,
but block the signal from the
ground so they can't wake them up.
They have a shuttle.
They can just come back up
and do it themselves.
Can you rig it so we
can kill them remotely?
It's tricky... but possible. Why?
Leverage...
"put down your weapons
or we pull the plug."
How long do you need
to make that possible?
I don't know, but I'm on it.
Wait.
Murphy.
I want to know what you think.
I think it's a risk.
You're right. It is.
But Clarke didn't die for us to live
just so we can go back to the ground
and make the same mistakes.
What the hell?
Let's be good guys.
Come on.
What harm can come from
telling me your name?
Well, believe it or not,
this is the best conversation I've had
in over a hundred years.
I was an altar boy in
a church just like this.
Saginaw,
about two hours outside Detroit.
On my Harley,
I'd make it in one.
God, I miss that bike...
More than I miss most of the people.
Someone just ran out of that cave.
Harris, watch your six.
Copy that. Tight intercept.
Fast little thing.
We can cut her off at the lake. Go west.
Changing direction now.
Wait, scratch that. She's turning north.
I got a shot.
No.
She's just a child.
She speaks.
- Please.
- Waiting for orders.
How many others are in the woods?
None. It's just the two of us.
I am begging you. Tell him not to shoot.
- Fire at will.
- Copy.
She went behind those twin rocks!
Falk! Take her on the other side!
I know where they are.
That's our summer hunting grounds.
She's leading them into a trap.
I see her. Going in. Cover me.
Listen to me.
If they don't stop right
now, those men will die.
I see her. I'm going in.
- I believe her.
- It's the truth.
If you let her go, I'll
tell you everything.
All units...
Stand down. Over.
If we stand down, she'll get away.
I'm taking the shot.
Falk, if McCreary disobeys,
shoot him in the leg.
Harris, if Falk disobeys,
shoot him in the head.
Standing down.
Good choice.
There may be traps near your position.
Check it out and report back. Over.
Son of a bitch.
Another bear trap.
Almost stepped right in it.
Report to base camp. Over and out.
Thank you.
Thank you for telling the truth.
As long as you keep doing that,
your friend in the woods will
stay alive, and so will you.
Do we understand each other?
Yes.
Good. Then let's begin.
Start with how the world ended.
Which time?
Raven.
Someone has to stay up here.
What?
With remote access to
the cryo-pods blocked,
we won't be able to
operate them, either.
Pulling the plug from the
ground is not an option.
Someone has to stay.
No. No. No way.
OK, we make the threat from
up here on the lasercom.
We won't know if they're
following through.
Look, I've played out every angle.
This only works if we
have eyes on the ground.
Fine.
Show me how to do it. I...
I can't.
There are nine security
measures to be bypassed,
and teaching you would take days, and
knowing you, you'd
probably still screw it up.
It has to be me.
I am not leaving you here.
I'll be fine.
Emori can get you down.
That's what I trained her for.
You need to go and find your sister,
and make a deal for
peace with the prisoners.
Once everyone's friends, they'll
come back up for their people,
and I'll hitch a ride down with them.
What if the threat doesn't work?
You'll be stuck up here, Raven.
You'll have to kill 300 people.
Have you thought about that?
No, no, we'll come up
with something else.
I left Clarke behind to die, and I...
I'm not doing that again.
There's an escape pod, you idiot.
For the captain and first mate.
When this is all over, if you fail,
I can go down in that.
Hey.
Six years ago, I promised myself
I would find a way to get us back down.
Bellamy, this is it.
Please...
let me get you all home.
All right. Let's do this.
Where the hell is she?
It's technical, but, um,
someone has to run things from here.
So let it be John.
I said it's technical.
I'll do it.
Monty, I...
Enough.
It has to be Raven.
Once we have a truce, she'll
come down with the prisoners.
If we fail, she'll take
the ship's escape pod.
Either way, she will be fine.
If I'm flying solo,
she'll be the only one.
You got this.
Let's load up. Let's go.
Now, Murphy.
I'm staying, too.
Look, Raven might need backup.
What? With Emori flying,
this is the survivor's move.
See you on the other side.
You know, it's not a bad view.
Murphy, what the hell
are you doing here?
Keeping you company.
You're welcome, by the way.
Why was everyone so surprised?
I mean, if there wasn't an
escape pod, I could understand...
There isn't an escape pod.
What?
I only told Bellamy that because I knew
he would never leave me
behind without a way down.
You know what?
You're right.
Dying alone would have sucked.
Yeah.
Thanks.
Son of a bitch.
19,000 meters.
OK.
18,000 meters.
OK.
17,000 meters.
Just breathe.
16,000 meters.
Firing the cold gas thrusters
to initiate roll maneuver.
12,000 meters.
Computer...
light boostback engines.
Boostback engines fired
in 3, 2, 1.
- 2,000 meters.
- Deploy landing legs.
Landing legs deployed.
Grid fins activated.
Here we go!
200 meters.
Vertical landing successful.
You did it.
Emori.
Emori.
We didn't die.
No. No, we didn't.
We'll celebrate once Murphy
and Raven are back down, too.
There's no telling
how many people saw us.
We need to take cover in the
trees before they get here.
Yeah.
OK.
It's so quiet.
OK, so how do we find them?
We don't. They'll find us.
They already have.
Everybody, on your knees!
It's OK, it's OK. We
don't want to fight...
- Now!
- No, wait!
We just want to talk.
On the Ark, they taught us
that the war started as
a Chinese first strike,
but they were wrong.
It was started by an
A.I. called A.L.I.E.
Her intention was to reduce the popu...
Colonel, we have five more hostiles.
At least one is armed.
Are we still playing nice?
Stand by.
Find out where they are
and reinforce their position.
You heard her. Grab the gear.
Not you, McCreary.
What did I tell you would
happen if you lied to me?
I didn't lie.
I don't know...
Take her outside.
Use the collar.
I thought you'd never ask.
Colonel...
She's cooperating.
Which is why she'll live.
Her friends, on the other hand...
Four of ours are dead.
It's time to even the score.
Congratulations.
One of you gets to live.
She's just a kid.
Bellamy?
Clarke knew you would come.
Clarke's alive?
She's in trouble. We have to go.
What about the others in the bunker?
Still there.
What? No, no. How can that be?
I'll explain on the way.
I wouldn't do that if I was you.
You might burn your fingers.
Yeah.
Please.
I wasn't lying.
Hit her again.
I don't know who that was.
I guess you made your point.
You might be right.
But just in case,
hit her again.
Hold, and fire on my command.
Madi.
No.
Madi, no.
Take the Rover back. That's the plan.
I won't let anything
happen to Clarke. I promise.
Come out with your hands high.
Unarmed.
Just want to talk.
Talk.
Give me one good reason not
to kill you where you stand.
How about I give you 283?
That's how many of your
people are gonna die
if you and I can't make a deal.
That's far enough.
283 lives for one.
She must be pretty important to you.
She is.
