The 100 (2014–…): Season 6, Episode 11 - Ashes to Ashes - full transcript

Bellamy and Octavia must put aside any differences and work together to save their friends. Meanwhile, Echo confronts her past.

Previously on "the 100"...

You're stopping her heart?

Death causes her mind to back
up onto the drive. I take it out...

we get clarke back.

I need to restart her heart.

Why isn't she waking up?

'Cause josephine's still inside.

She's gone.

No, she's not!

Clarke?

No one's gonna find out
I'm a nightblood.



Quiet.

Miranda's dead.

They're eXecuting
one of your people tonight.

- Madi?
- No. She's a host.

The child is spared,
but the rest of you

will burn at the stake
for your crimes.

Get me to a window
with a view of the eXecution.

Got him.

Sorry.

So listen to me, ok?
You can still save your wife.

We can still make nightblood.

Bone marrow.

Take them down.

Dr. Jackson?



I'm here, madi.

I can't feel my hand.
Something's wrong.

Please help. I can't feel it.

I can't breathe.

Madi, it's ok.

Uh!

Unh!

Abby! Raven! Emori!

Why didn't you
let me go for the throat,

like we talked about?

I thought you wanted revenge.

Your move.

Because jackson is
innocent. He's one of us.

One of you?

He's draining your
marrow as we speak.

Let's just play the game.

Chess isn't a game.

A lesson in strategy,

and you're not paying attention.

Checkmate.

Jackson is a pawn.

If you had killed him,
we'd be free right now

and on our way to the
palace to kill the people

who had murdered clarke.

Instead we'll now
likely die with her,

so well done.

What do you want from me?!

I want you to rule this world

as I did the last.

I want you to kill everyone

who gets in your way.

I want you to get
revenge for clarke.

Tell me what I have to do.

Hey.

You're ok.

I'm still here.

Thanks to you.

How long have I been asleep?

A few hours.

I'm so sorry, clarke.

I knew you were a target.

I didn't protect you.

Bellamy, you saved me.

So how do we save everyone

that I left behind?

You know, if you didn't,
I'd be dead.

They all would... echo, madi.

Josephine would've
made sure of it.

Your plan was good.

My plan was to use
josephine's mind drive

to bargain for peace,

and now there's no mind
on the drive.

We don't need the mind drive.

We've got me.

No, no way.

Bellamy, if we don't give
russell his daughter back...

clarke, as soon as he
realiZes you're not her,

which will be the second
you walk in the door

and he checks the drive,

you're dead.

So let's put it back in.

That's not happening.

We appreciate
what you did for us,

but these are our people.
We'll take it from here.

This isn't just
about our people, bellamy.

Well, it is for me, clarke.

Good. Everybody's awake.

So what's the plan?

Let's play what's a bigger
waste of time, shall we?

Trying to pry off a lock
with your bare hands

or praying for
a 12-year-old psychopath

to come to our rescue.

She's not a psychopath.

She's a child under
assault from a demon.

And the longer we wait...

the more control he
has over her.

Just relaX.

Raven's on the case.

I'm sure madi will be fine

as soon as houdini miller
breaks us out of here

and we get becca's
book of spells.

That's from the
machine shop, right?

Ah! It's no use,

not without something
to pick it.

Wow. What a surprise.

You got a better idea, murphy?

Nah. Help me get this
out of the way.

Anyone want to take a guess
as to what happened to echo?

She would've
saved us if she could.

We have to assume
they have her, too, now.

Making them nightblood
bought us some time,

but does anyone really believe

they're just gonna let
us walk once it's done?

Open it up. Let's go.

On your feet, murphy.

You're wanted in the palac.

You're guilty of
attempting to assassinate a prime

and spreading
blasphemous rumors.

The punishment
for this is death,

but we can be merciful.

Your friend jordan saved
the life of pria vii.

Hallowed be her name.

Hallowed be her name.

She's seen to his
ongoing recovery personally.

Because your crimes were
committed to save your people,

I will offer you a chance
for mercy as well.

But you have to earn it,

starting by telling us
who else you talked to

other than tai.

No one. It was just him.

Too bad you can't ask him
who he told.

The man murdered a prime.

Maybe you should take this

a little more seriously.

That wasn't murder.

Simone prime,
hallowed be her name,

will be back.

The life taken to make
that happen will be murder.

The life taken to make
that happen

will be yours.

Take her to the machine shop.

Test abby's bone marrow formula.

If it works and turns
you into a host,

then it will be your great honor

to become one with simone prime.

Hallowed be her name.

Hallowed be her name.

I've never performed
that procedure before.

You know that.

And I never asked you
to, but I'm asking you now.

You're trained for this.
We all are.

And we can no longer afford
our moral equivocations,

but this is how we get
our family back.

Good. Call for me
when it's done.

I want to be there
for the resurrection.

She comes with me.

Silence.

Murphy, you traitor!
I'll kill you!

You've always been a traitor.

You've always been a filthy...

so who do I get to be?

You're a slippery one, john,

always playing
both sides of the fence.

I doubt you've ever
done anything

that didn't redound to
your own benefit.

Come on. Now, that's just mean.

Don't get me wrong.
I like that about you.

Oh, you do, huh?

It means I can trust you
as long as what I'm asking

has something in it for you.

And what are you asking?

According to jade,
my daughter is still alive,

or was last night.

I need you to bring her home.

If you can do this,
then you and your girlfriend

have your immortality after all.

- And if I say no?
- You won't.

If you fail, however,

or do something
that keeps my daughter

from her place at my side,

then I will be forced
to take an eye for an eye.

Immortality or mortality.

It seems fair.

Not your eye, john.

Emori's.

You have till second moon.

Walk through the shield

at any time and lower it.
Why haven't you?

Because he doesn't
want to kill the people inside.

He wants to save them,
and they'll die to protect the primes.

Then they die.
I'm not letting our people get eXecuted

because theirs are delusional.

I don't have the code.

I couldn't lower
the shield if I tried.

What about ryker?

He built it, and he
helped you escape.

Go to him, you lower the shield,

we do the rest.

Ryker won't help us.

He left my cell door open

to stop simone from
burning me at the stake,

but he wouldn't help me
stop the resurrections.

They were gonna burn you?

That's what you do to demons.

I destroyed the embryos.

We landed with a thousand.

Genetically engineered with
what you call nightblood

to protect against
solar radiation.

That's why hosts are so rare...

why josephine started oblation.

I didn't think she
would take it that far, but...

so your nonviolent
revolution made things worse.

Bellamy, he doesn't
want to kill his own people.

- Why not? You did.
- Bellamy.

I don't need a lecture

on moral relativity from
the queen of cannibals.

Can I talk to you outside?

No. No. You know what?
For once, o.,

you're not my biggest problem.

Please?

Go. We'll keep thinking.

Your sister's special.

Well, that's one word for it.

I'm serious, bellamy.

She went into the anomaly
and came back.

No one's ever done that before.

The anomaly?

That sound you hear,

the great mystery of sanctum.

Look, she didn't
remember anything,

so I gave her red sun
toXin to help her see.

She chose to look
inward instead.

But there was no eclipse.

The toXin's everywhere...

in every leaf,
in every tree, the soil,

the rocks.

Over time, we found other
ways to harness its power.

You weaponiZed it, didn't you?

Simone did

as part of her
adjustment protocol.

My research was focused
on an antitoXin.

The discovery that
intravenous use produced

a waking dream was
a happy accident.

Uh, gabriel,
your friends are here.

Don't shoot.
We're on the same side.

Bellamy, gun down.

Same side, huh?

He was with josephine
in the cave.

- Hey, hey.
- It's her... josephine prime.

- No, no, no.
- Raise your weapons.

- Take her down!
- It's not her.

Gabriel, uluse a little help.

Xavier?

Xavier, brother,
get out of the way.

Iayla, it's ok.

Nelson, put the weapon down.

All of you, weapons down.

That's an order.

You don't give orders.

Where's the old man?

Iayla, search the tent.

The old man is dead.

So is Xavier.

On your knees.

Gabriel.

Traitor! Aah!

Get back! Come on.

Layla, easy!

Easy.

EXplain.

I didn't want this.

I loved Xavier like
a son. You know that.

Don't say his name.

Layla, if you can't handle
this, maybe you should wait outside.

I'm fine. I need to hear this.

Eduardo brought me
back without my consent.

Eduardo's been
dead for 10 years,

killed by sanctum guards around
the time the old man disappeared.

It wasn't the sanctum guards.

Ten years?

He's been lying to
us for 10 years,

letting me call him brother?

He's still our leader.

No.

He's a traitor and a prime.

He could've told us the truth,

but instead,
he let us think we were abandoned.

Now, give me back the gun

and let me end this
once and for all.

Wait.

If this is what you really want,

at least wait until he
delivers the bomb.

What are you talking about?

Shut up.

I'm talking about
weaponiZed red sun toXin.

Gabriel's a nightblood.

He can walk it right through
the shield and deploy it.

Once it's in the air,
he finds our friend raven.

She'll bring the shield down
for the rest of us.

We use the chaos
of the evacuation

to rescue our people.

You kill the primes.

That's how this ends.

It's a good plan.

Come on. You
trust them just like that?

No. But I will...

when he kills josephine prime.

I'm not josephine.

It's true. Josephine's gone.

I took the mind drive
out myself.

He's protecting her.

How much more proof that
he's a traitor do we need?

No.

If you kill her yourself,
I won't build you the bomb.

Good.

First, we gather the toXin.

There's a cave on
the way to the anomaly.

You're not going anywhere.

Neither is
your long-lost friend.

We can do it.

Just tell us what to look for.

You can let her go now.

So that's it, then?

One shot, and she's a host?

Yes.

According to their
doctor, we have some time.

I'll be in my room.

The truth spreads
like that, too.

Of course, more than one
person knows the truth.

Don't they?

You guys can wait outside.

No need to listen to her lies.

How long before
russell finds out

you were the one who
sparked the revolution?

One dead janitor
isn't a revolution.

We told at least a doZen others,

but you let him believe
it was just tai.

That tells me you're still torn.

You're right. I am.

The only thing worse than
my people being burned alive

is it happening to my family.

Ryker, wait. The truth is out.

It's too late to stop this.

If you let me go,
I'll still honor our deal.

You and your mother
will be fine.

No, we won't.

It won't matter that
we do the right thing.

The people will need blood.

The guards will die
defending us.

Tell me something.

If you could prevent
all those deaths

by taking one life,
would you do it?

That's what I thought.

I'm sorry, echo. I truly am.

Damn it!

Where the hell are they?

You didn't follow orders

when the commander banished you.

How come?

Sometimes we have to disobey

in order to transcend.

Did you think about that

when we were
following blodreina?

Mistakes are forgivable.

Not learning from them isn't.

Meal time. You know the drill.

Hands on the wall.

Hands on the wall.

What are you doing?

I said, hands on the wall.

Transcending.

Let 'em starve.

What were you thinking?

That's the best lift
I've made...

since the ark.

Impressive. Hide the blade.
I'll get them to come back.

Wait. Wait. Wait. Wait.

I didn't steal it for the blade.

Machine shop's
this way. Come on.

A device like this was
one of the reasons I left.

I wouldn't build
russell his bomb,

and here I am building
one for you.

Never mind me.

I'm rambling.

Your friends should be
at the cave by now.

You know, it's too bad
they took an antitoXin.

That is one sibling
relationship that could use

a good guided hallucination.

Yeah. Be a shame
if one of them was murdered

before they worked it out.

Iayla, I'm...

don't you dare apologiZe.

This bomb.
If the primes have one,

then why haven't they
used it on us?

I don't know.

Probably because turning
us into raging killers

isn't in their best interest.

Then what's it for?

Josephine and simone
were intrigued

by a pattern in the visions
of those who survived

being caught out in the eclipse.

Despite my best efforts
to stop them,

they started leaving
test subjects outside

to study it.

Now, not surprisingly, believers

in the divinity of the primes

invariably reported
seeing us as gods

or as angels.

What interested
the lightbournes more

was that the aggression
response of the faithful

was almost always aimed
at the less devout.

Believers killing nonbelievers.

Uh-huh.

I swear on my brother's memory,

if you betray us,
I will kill you.

Josephine was right.

This is mount weather
all over again.

That bomb won't just
cause chaos.

It'll cause a massacre.

There has to be a better way

than using a massacre
as a distraction

to get the shield down.

Look, if you're worried about your
people, they'll be fine.

Put in wall restraints
to fend for themselves

as soon as
the early warning system

is triggered
and evacuation begins.

I told you, I'm not
just worried about...

the early warning system.

The insects are affected
by the toXin first.

That's why they're in
tanks all over sanctum.

I'm aware. It was my
idea. What's your point?

We use less of the toXin...

enough to affect the bugs
but not the people.

Just enough to trigger
the evacuation.

Can you do that?

Yes. But without the chaos,

I won't have time to
take the shield down.

Your people will still
be prisoners,

and the primes will
still be primes.

We will kill some bugs, though.

So we take down
the shield first.

First, as in before
the evacuation,

while everyone's still at home?

Look, clarke, I don't
mean to be rude, but...

josephine could do it.

Think you can get your children

to let me go with you?

It's doubtful. They're
not gonna like it.

Neither is bellamy.

We got this, gabriel.

Careful.

Gabriel said these things have

the highest concentration
of red sun toXin

they've ever found.

Trust me,
they're a hell of a lot stronger

than jobi nuts.

So tell me about this anomaly.

Gabriel says that you
went in and you came back,

you were special.

I'm not special.

I went in after diyoZa,

but I couldn't catch her.

DiyoZa's dead?

Yeah. The light swallowed her,

but it spit me out.

I didn't know why.

But now I do.

It was for you.

For me? Right.

What do you say when "I'm
sorry" isn't good enough?

Hey. Don't stop.

You were right for
leaving me behind.

I know how hard that
must have been for you,

but you were right.

I was a mess... a danger to you,

to myself,

and everyone we care about.

Yeah? Well, what's changed?

Everything.

That much, huh?

Ah, the mushrooms
must be strong.

I need you in my life, bell.

Look, I don't know what
happened to you out here,

but now is not the time.

We need to fill these bags
and get back to camp

before the antitoXin wears off.

You were my rock.

Without you as my compass,

I was lost.

I couldn't find my
way out of the dark.

I did things...

things I can't take back...

things that will haunt me

until the day I die.

I'm not asking you
for forgiveness.

I know I have to earn that

along with your trust.

What do you want me to say, o.?

Say I'm your sister.

You're my sister...

but you're not
my responsibility.

Not anymore.

Go on. We got enough.
I'll be right behind you.

Look at that.

It worked.

Wait. Where are you going?

To tell russell we've
solved our host problem.

Hoping he'll kill me
for you, huh?

He won't, you know.

It's a loyalty test.

Trust me. I've been there.

I know what you're
going through.

You know nothing. You're
a killer, an assassin.

I'm an engineer.

You won't be just
that after today.

Fine. If he wants me
to do it myself,

I'll do it myself.

Actually, I was hoping
you'd let me go.

It's not gonna happen.

I've made my choice.

It's too late
to change that now.

No, it isn't.

At least...

let me tell you what
happened to me...

something I've never
told anyone else.

You're stalling.

Ok.

Tell me your story.

Quickly.

Top that.

You know I can't.

Do you want her to think
you're useless?

Do it like I showed you,

and picture queen nia's
face at the center.

Ha ha! Ok.

Is that your secret, then?

Your highness, forgive...

quiet. I don't care why
your aim is true...

just that it is.

Unh.

It's time, echo.

Sangedakru is eXpecting you

in 3 days.

You've mastered their dialect,

studied their customs,

but are you ready to kill
for your queen?

Yes, highness.

Prove it.

This piece of filth
is a sangedakru spy.

If he gets away,
your mission will fail.

Ash, hand her the bow.

Run, you fool!

What are you waiting for?

Imagine my face on his back.

Hesitation is death.

Take the shot.

Weakness!

Uh!

Since I can't send an
assassin who's afraid to kill,

I'll give you one last chance.

Kill her.

If she doesn't take the knife
and attack in 3 seconds,

kill both.

1...

2...

fight back.

Show her she needs you, too.

Finish her, or you're finished.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry, too.

Sangedakru is eXpecting

a girl named echo.

Congratulations, echo.

Don't let me down.

Get her ready.

ECHO, VOICE-OVER:
I guess you could say

I've been wiped before.

I'm sorry that happened.

I didn't tell you that

just so you don't kill me.

I told you to spare you
from what happens

if you do.

I'm sure you're right... ash.

Killing you would haunt me,

but so would not killing you.

We both know what would
happen to sanctum

if I let you go.

I'm sorry.

No. No.

- Aah!
- Fine.

Guards, come in.

Close the door.

I need your help
holding her down.

You move...

you die.

Took you long enough.

We came for the notebook.

We didn't know, or we would've...

hesitation is death.

U're not building a bomb?

Releasing it in the water
will cause it to aerosoliZe

at a lower concentration.

We'll trigger an evacuation

without inducing
a mass psychosis.

In other words,
no innocent people die.

How long until they realiZe

there's no eclipse
and turn around?

Not long enough.

We'll need to be inside
before it starts,

which means...

which means the shield needs
to be down before it starts.

Can you do that
without a distraction?

It wouldn't be him.

Bellamy, it's the only way.

What is?

I go as josephine.

It's not the only way.

We use the bomb as planned.

Risking your life when we
don't have to is just...

is how we do better.

What would monty do?

Clarke, if you fail,

if russell figures out
that his daughter is dead,

all our people are dead, too.

So I won't fail.

Bellamy, if we can spare

innocent lives, we should.

Hey, what's that?

Got raiders coming!

Sanctum raiders!

Wait here.

Everybody spread out!

Get them back inside.

I want them tied up and
gagged with the primes.

Iayla, you're with them.
Kill anyone who resists.

Move to intercept!

Elijah, logan,
get to high ground!

I need eyes up top.

The rest of you, spread out.

Cut them off on the other side!

Sanctum raiders!

Retreat!

Hey there.

Josephine?

Well done, jade.

You just can't pick
a side, can you, john?

The only reason I'm doing
this is because emori dies

if I don't.

Echo's in trouble, too.

I promise I'll do
what I can for her.

Give us two seconds
to make sure it's clear,

then follow.

No.

This one's mine.

Go. Make sure it's clear.

Is she really gone this time?

Yes. Boo-hoo.

Now, as soon as I pull
this trigger,

your little decoy
trick will fail.

You better run.

Hmm.

I can do this.

Get that shield down.

I'll bring the cavalry.

For monty.

For monty.

She isn't josephine.

No, she's not.

You mind walking
a little faster?

CLARKE, AS JOSEPHINE: RelaX. If they
were gonna kill us, we'd be dead by now.

They know that we're here.

What? No hug?

Josephine.

How is this possible?

It's a long story.

Suffice to say, I'm awesome.

What I'm not, however,
is immortal.

Gabriel took out my drive.

I really do hate
to interrupt, but...

I'm a man of my word.

You earned your place here.

Take him to emori,

and clear the doctor and the
rest of her people from the lab.

Where's mom?

There was an incident,
but it's ok.

I was just on my way
to resurrect her,

but that can wait.

Resurrect her in who?

Abby did it.

We can make hosts.

Yes, but not how
you think. Come on.

Let's get you checked out.

So I used clarke's neural mesh

to stay in her brain.

Turnabout's fair play.
Am I right?

Anyway, I killed her
in the mindspace.

Now here we are.

How about neXt time,
we choose a less crowded host?

What do you say?

And what is this?

This is how we...

make hosts.

Bone marrow?

Clarke, is that you?

No. It's not. She put up
a good fight, though, kid.

Can't win them all.

We're gonna kill you!

We're gonna kill all of you

and everything you love!

Hmm. How many doses
can we get out of her

before she dies?

You know what? Never mind.

It's time for my new drive.

Being mortal sucks.
