The 100 (2014–…): Season 7, Episode 3 - False Gods - full transcript

As Raven faces an unexpected threat, Clarke must keep the peace among opposing factions in Sanctum.

Previously on "The 100"...

In my dreams, I see a
commander who frightens me.

Sheidheda, the dark commander.

The Flame amplifies
every commander's

capacity for good and evil.

Can you kill it or not?

It'll destroy the Flame.
We have to take it out.

Kill the son of a bitch.

I'm not the commander anymore.

- Sheidheda.
- Where did he go?

I have something for you.



Simone left these here.

They were your mother's.

Unh!

Aah!

Sanctum is free!

We are the last
of the human race!

We've all made mistakes.

Tomorrow, Russell Prime
dies for his!

Any change?

The power supply's still
choppy and oscillating

in the lower region.

I can take over early.

Thanks.

I was thinking
about this all day,



and I'll have you know
I could fix

this power problem in 5 minutes.

Yeah. Pull your control rod.
Let's see it.

Aw. Come on.
Not again.

Raven's gonna kill me.

Supply's still low.

Pulling that last
control rod's not a bad idea.

It would up the power output.

Yeah. Well, Raven said to
wait and see if supply evens out.

Sure.

We can wait.

Raising the last rod 25%.

That should do it.

Failure in
the actuator mechanism.

It won't go up.

Stop it. Gonna have
to do it manually.

Hold that thought.

Secondary containment clear.

Are you sure about this?

Priya never let US go in there.

Don't worry.
I know what I'm doing.

Core access clear.

Sinclair, my mentor on the ark,

was a genius at
jury-rigging the reactor.

I could do this in my sleep.

All I have to do
is pull up the rod...

And use this to keep it up.

There. Now we can...

- James.
- Cora?

- Cora!
- James!

It's burning!

Are you all right?

My mother's ring.

It's all I have left of them.

That's not true.

You are what's left of them.

This is what's left
of the commanders.

I lost myself last night.

Russell gave me this,
and I just...

Burning down the palace
was a bit extreme,

but, Clarke, he killed your
mother and so many others,

and today, he will die for it.

Maybe once it is done,
we can all start over

except for Madi, who
they still call Heda,

and I'm letting them.

It makes me wonder

am I just doing
what I know because

I don't know how to
do anything else?

You're doing what's
best for Madi,

but change takes time.

We need to ease them
into this new life.

I love you, mom.

I'll do my best
to make you proud.

May we meet again.

Preparations must be made.

It's time to talk to Russell.

Save the Primes!

Death to Primes!

To what do I owe the pleasure?

Don't play innocent.
We know your people

have been in to see you.

I can hardly turn them away

if they show up.

It won't be
a problem for much longer.

Your execution's at sunset.

We'll give you the respect
of choosing how you die.

You should have just
finished the job last night.

We can make it quick.

And why would I want that?

To my followers, this
will be the death of a god.

Like a sign from above.

I'll take the pyre.

Last night, you begged me
to save you from the flames.

And now you want it
quick so you can pretend

you're still civilized.

No. My people need
to feel my death,

and so do you.

Very well.
Fire it is.

Guard!

Death to Primes!
Death to Primes!

Death to Primes!

You deserve to burn
for killing Priya.

Delilah deserved justice.

And if you have
a problem, leave.

What are we doing?

They're just gonna kill each
other as soon as we leave.

How messed up is it
that I'm looking

forward to an execution?

Hey. We talked
about this.

- It's justice for Abby.
- Of course you're fine with it,

but I'm a doctor.

I should be better.

Better? I'm not just
following orders, Jax.

I didn't mean it like that.

Death to Primes!

Russell won't stand for it.

Russell won't stand
for anything if he's dead.

We have to stop it,

return him to his
rightful place.

Yes, but not with violence.

What are you talking about?

That's none of your business.

You betrayed Russell.
You don't get to

pretend to be one of US.

I didn't mean for Russell to...

Clarke just said she
wanted to talk to him.

Trey's just... Upset.

Alyssa...

I can see you don't
believe that. Talk to me.

The past couple days,

so many of the faithful
haven't handled it well.

I'm afraid they're
planning something terrible

to save Russell.

If Russell told them
to stop, would they?

Of course.

His will be done.

Why? What are you
thinking?

I'm thinking that I'll take him

more than just
his coffee this morning.

This looks like fun.

They're burning Russell
at the stake tonight,

and I wonder who's next.

Our people will never
let that happen.

Come back to bed.

Doesn't this feel wrong to you?

Well, it's not like
we have a choice,

so we might as well enjoy it.

- Oh, enjoy it?
- Mmm. Mm-hmm.

- Enjoy it.
- Heh heh heh.

Good morning.

6 years of you walking
in on US in space,

and you still can't knock.

It's incredible really.

Well, you'd think
you could lock a door.

What's up, Raven?

Clearly not the reactor.

Power's out all over sanctum.

James failed me again.
Get dressed.

Time to prove how much
you were paying attention

on the ring.

Yeah.

James?

Core temp is up,
coolant pressure's down.

Where the hell is James?

The door's open.
Come on.

Wait.

Radiation's normal.

James!

Over here.

That's bad.

Here, the radiation is elevated.

This is just water from
the coolant system,

but if radiation
is leaking here,

it must be coming from the core.

Don't.

Raven, we need to help them.

No. It's too late.
Look at them.

He must have pulled
the control rod too fast.

The spike of radiation
would be lethal.

If the core reaches
1,500 degrees,

the whole reactor melts down.

We'll all die.

Death to Primes!

- From Indra.
- Does it matter?

It'll all turn to ash.

I thought you wanted death.

Wanting to die and facing it

are two different things.

- Now go.
- No.

You can still help your people.

- They don't need me.
- They do.

They're planning
some kind of attack.

They want to stop the execution.

People will die.

Then tell them not to kill me.

That's it?

You expected something else?

For you to care.

It's in your name. Is
that the legacy you want,

death and more death?

What would you have me do?

You still have a voice.
Talk to them. Stop them.

Go out doing the right thing.

What makes you think they'll
let me address my people?

Because my people want
to be do better.

I can tell. Burning
a man at the stake

is so elevated.

Maybe if you ask them nicely.

I'm not the one asking.

My father's son is.

Good. You're here.

Shouldn't we be wearing
Hazmat suits or something?

You are adorable.

Those literally do nothing
against gamma rays.

Eligius three knew that, which
is why they don't have any.

What they did have is
Nightblood, and so do you.

You're a Prime now,
Murphy. Act like one.

Get to the point.

Here's the deal.
The core's overheating.

One of the control rods
that slows

the nuclear reaction down
is jammed in the up position

and won't drop into the core.

Because of that it's
getting too hot,

and because of that, the coolant
pipe has burst in two places.

If the core temperature
reaches 1,500 degrees,

the reactor will melt down,

and it's bye-bye sanctum.

So how do we stop it?

We push in the control rods,

we plug the cracks, we're good.

Just that simple.

I like you.

Someone has to go
into primary containment

to get the control rods
in place.

It's a high-radiation
environment.

Nightblood's not a
guarantee, but it will help.

- She'll do it.
- I'll do it.

What? Like that was
even a question?

Clarke, you have your hands full

with Russell's execution.

OK.

Murphy, you're B-team.

Emori will handle
the control rods,

but she only has 60 seconds.

If she doesn't get it
done, you take over.

Wonkru will handle the pipes.

Emori said radiation is leaking.

What kind of danger am
I sending my people into?

It's the puking
for a few days kind.

If they're exposed,
they'll recover.

If the core melts down,
we won't.

Why don't we ask
the Eligius crew?

They were miners.
They have the skills.

No offense, but I’m
not willing to put

the lives of what's
left of the human race

in the hands of a
bunch of murderers

and thieves who were
torturing me and Shaw

and willing to kill
the rest of US

before destroying the earth.

I need a team of 4 from the
bunker's maintenance crew.

You'll have them. 4 Wonkru
welders coming right up.

It's dangerous,
but your commander wills it.

Who will answer her call?

And where is the commander?

She has other matters to handle,

but I have her
complete authority.

I think you're lying.

I think she abandoned US.

Something happened on that ship,

and she hasn't been the same
since we reached the ground.

You question the will
of your commander?

I question you.

If the commander wants
volunteers,

let her tell US herself.

All right.
I'll go get her,

but you will answer
for your disobedience.

Indra, no. We talked
about this.

People could die.

We can't put that on Madi.

You two treat her
like she's just a child.

She is not. It is time you let
her do her job for all of US.

Madi is not well.

You can use her name,
but that's it.

No way am I letting her
stand in front

of these people and order them

into a nuclear reactor.

- Not happening.
- What would you have US do?

We need volunteers.

Without them, she dies, too,

when that reactor melts down.

We tell them the truth.

Don't be a fool, Gaia.

Have some faith in
our people, mother.

I know our people.

Why the delay?

We cannot ask the commander

because there is no commander.

She had fallen prey
to Sheidheda.

The dark commander
took her over,

and I could not let
that monster lead Wonkru,

so I destroyed the Flame.

That monster was Sangedakru's
greatest champion.

- You had no right!
- I had every right.

I am the Fleimkepa.

You were the Fleimkepa.

You've sinned against
US all. You're a traitor.

Knight, please.

We spent 6 years
together in the bunker

without a commander.

The Flame might be gone,
but we are still here.

We are still one people,

and we are all in danger.

Who will be brave enough
to help US?

So much for volunteers.

Sangedakru, we're done here.

Faith may be blind,
but loyalty isn't.

Congratulations.

You just lost Wonkru.

Add some more kindling.

They put US here on purpose,

rubbing the palace in our faces.

It's deliberate disrespect.

Look. They said that they were
gonna find US something better,

and they will.

When did you get so naive?

They're making US
do the hard work

and giving US tents and scraps

from their table.

I see the way they look at US.

You all do, too.

Look. We did our
time, and they know it.

We help them build
the new compound,

and it will be ours, too.

And I'm taking the penthouse
for US, honey bunny.

Hey.

Hatch, right?
I'm Raven.

Yeah. I remember.
McCreary's guest.

Boy, I do not miss that jackass.

- Mm-hmm.
- He wouldn't have settled

for a squatters' camp.

Heh. Yeah, yeah.

Are you lost or something?

I could use some help, and
your people have the skills.

Look at that.

Sounds a lot like respect to me.

Try indentured servitude.

Hmm.

You ain't the only
smart one around here, honey.

It's a simple job.

Just welding a couple cracks
in the reactor's coolant pipe.

The nuclear reactor?

Yeah. It's
fairly routine.

The equipment's a couple
hundred years old,

so just needs some love.

Some love, huh?

From where I sit,

love is dangerous.

Like I said, it's routine.

No. You said,
"fairly routine."

The pipe's
in secondary containment.

It's nowhere near the reactor.

I just need 4 people who
know their way around welding.

What's in it for US?

Why does there need to
be something in it for you?

It needs to be done.

How about all the Jo
juice that we can drink?

Sure.
You in or not?

What the hell?
We're in.

- Not me.
- What?

You have fun, sugar,

and I'll be waiting for you

in the penthouse tent.

Let's go.

X, Y, and Z, follow me.

Looks like Raven
found he volunteers.

Maybe those prisoners
can help guard our prisoner.

How many Wonkru
are still with US?

Not enough.

There you are.

Now what's wrong?

Russell's followers are
planning some kind of attack.

Which followers?
What's the target?

All I know is it's happening
before the execution.

And we don't have
the people to stop it.

All we need is Russell.

Let him talk them down.

Look down there.
He's the reason

they need talking down.

Is that who we are now?

At what point are we
gonna set an example?

What happened to doing better?

What would my dad say?

Russell killed Abby,

and he deserves to die for it.

Is that your medical opinion?

Dr. Jackson is right.

We can't show weakness, not now.

Fine, but if you want
to avoid more killing,

you'll let his people
hear from him first.

I talked to him.
He wants to help.

Indra, without Wonkru,
we don't have the people

to control the riot.

Jordan's idea is worth a shot.

Fine, but Russell
says what he's supposed to,

or I'll kill him myself.

Make sure you protect
the secure entry out.

We can't wait any longer.
50 more degrees,

and we're toast.

Everyone clear on what
they're doing?

- Crystal.
- We get the control rods

in place, then head
to decontamination.

And we weld the cracks
in the pipe.

That radiation still clear?

Yep. All clear.
Good luck.

Secondary containment clear.

You lied to them?

I told them what
they needed to know.

It's an easy job.
I could do it in my sleep.

- Then why don't you?
- Shut up, Murphy.

Either they're sick for a few
days, or we're dead forever.

Now go do your job
being Emori's moral anchor.

Can we not fight now?

Secondary containment clear.

This is nothing like mining
hythylodium on an asteroid.

We do the job.
We're in, we're out,

and then the Jo juice is on me.

Sounds good to me.

I'll start the clock
when you get in there.

You better get it done
in under 60

because I was not really
paying attention.

- Comforting.
- That's what I'm here for.

Hey, hey.
Hey, hey, hey.

- Don't be a hero, OK?
- OK.

Cockroach protocol in effect.

That-a-girl.

Come on, Emori.

Let's go!

Core access clear.

Raven, on intercom: Go
on, Emori. You've got this.

As soon as all the rods
are down,

the reaction will flow,
and the core temperature

will go down.

55 seconds!

Aah!

50 seconds!

Unh!

Skip that one for now.
Get the others.

40!

Come on, Emori.

30 seconds.
You're halfway there. Get going.

Unh!

20 seconds, Emori!

Last one.

We're 10 seconds.
You got to get out of there.

Unh!

- Time, Emori!
- Emori, get out of there now!

Come on!

What the hell?

Get to decontamination now!

Still climbing?
Damn it!

We need the coolant line fixed!

We're working on it.

Hey, hey, hey, hey.
Easy. Come on.

The decon shower will remove
95% of the radiation.

Not paying attention, huh?

Yeah. Don't ruin
my rep. Come on.

You don't deserve
to hear his wisdom.

Pay attention.
It'll be the last

you ever hear from him.

If you say the wrong thing,

you won't get to
choose your death.

Indra will put
a bullet in your brain

right here and now.

We want the same thing,
Clarke... peace.

I hope that's true.

My children, please, please.

I know you're afraid.

I am, too,

but if my death is needed
to heal

this wondrous place,

then I go
to that death willingly.

Please, please, please.

Shh, shh, shh.

I must die for my sins,

but you cannot take revenge.

That is not our way.

Our faith has always
been one of peace.

Clarke is right.

We are all that's left
of the human race.

Either we live together

or die apart.

Whatever it is
you're planning...

False god!

Tobin, no!

So much for a peaceful faith.

Stop! Stop!

Jackson, save him.

He missed the subclavian artery.

Jones! Get over here.
Help me.

Everybody, move!

Come on.

OK. Let's get him
to medical.

- Will he survive?
- I... I think so.

I hope so because if he doesn't

these fanatics
will have a martyr.

I've seen it before.
Once that happens,

without Wonkru
to keep the peace,

something will explode.

- We can't kill him.
- No, we can't.

Suddenly, a nuclear
meltdown doesn't seem so bad.

Break it up!
Break it up!

We're almost there,
amigo. Steady.

I can taste
the Jo juice already.

Agh!

Damn it!

The coolant pressure's too high.

You need to reroute it.

I can't. We need it
to control the core temp.

We're 20 degrees
from finding out

what comes after death,
and I'd rather not know.

Me neither.

- Any change?
- The rate has slowed,

but the core temperature's
still rising.

Agh.

You wanted forever.

Still do. Come on.
Sit down.

How long do we have?

At this rate of increase,

not long enough.

Then get in there and help.

Raven, you're the queen
of doing the impossible, right?

I'll spin the dials.

I'm not just turning dials.

I'm controlling
the flow of coolant.

One mistake, and...

- Ohh!
- Crap.

Oh, yeah. That makes me
feel so much better.

Raven...
What's going on?

Murphy never went
into primary containment.

If he's getting sick, that means

more radiation's
leaking than I thought.

We have to pull
them out of there.

Hey. What hell is
happening?

My guys are getting sick.

No. They're almost done.

It's just the xenon gas
making you dizzy.

Don't worry. It's a byproduct
of nuclear fission.

- Are you OK?
- Can't see straight.

It's just some gas
making our heads all fuzzy.

Get back to work.

Raven, you can't leave
them in there to die.

They're already dead.

Raven, you really
need to think about...

Enough. If we pull
them out, we all die.

They can still do it.

Well, at least tell them.

You think I can rely on
those guys to do the right thing

when they know they're
gonna die?

Hey. My team's
almost out of nitrogen.

I'll get you another tank.
How close are you?

We're almost there on one,
but I can't get

my patch to hold.

You need to lower
the pressure more.

I told you I can't.

The temperature will spike.

Damn it! Just...
Just get me the nitro.

She'll be fine.
We don't have time for that.

Nightblood metabolizes
radiation.

We'll get her to Jackson as
soon as you take this to hatch.

Murphy.

If you don't
and the core melts down,

not even Nightblood
will save you.

Secondary containment clear.

I may not be able
to rely on them,

but you'd do anything
to save your own ass.

Secondary containment sealed.

Go be a cockroach.

Raven, on intercom:
Here's the situation.

The temperature is
1,490 degrees,

10 degrees from meltdown.

Weld faster.

I got it. Come on.
Let's do this thing.

Xenon gas, huh?

You're one of the Primes.

Means you had that
blood alteration.

No wonder they chose you
and your lady for the core.

Let's say we talk
after the meltdown, huh?

All right, but, you see,
I... I've got someone

that I love out there,

and from what I saw,
you do, too.

No matter what,
we get this done.

1,492.

Columbus sailed the ocean blue.

You now, Niks and I, we had a
pretty sweet score once in Columbus.

That savings and loan, hell,
they never even saw it coming,

and now I’m on another planet

trying to stop
a nuclear meltdown.

That's one hell of a life, huh?

1,494.

I don't got any for 1494.

You guys are supposed
to be the worst of the worst.

Bank robber doesn't
sound so bad.

Yeah, it wasn't
until it became homicide.

Hell, it was fun
until then, too.

Nikki... she shot first.

Once those first two
cops were dead,

hell, it was already
a murder rap,

so we executed the hostages.

Leave no witnesses, am I right?

Maybe this will make up for it.

There's no making up for it.

Oh, come on.

It worked.
We're gonna be OK.

Now get out of there!

You're welcome.

Oh, god.

I did this.

Yeah, you did.

How the mighty have fallen.

Welcome to the world of gray.

What the hell is taking so long?

You said this was safe.

He trusted you.

Aah! Aah!

Liar!

Hey, hey!

- Murderer!
- Get off her!

Listen.
I know how you feel,

but this solves nothing.

- Stop!
- You should die for this!

Aah!

- I'm gonna kill you!
- Stop! Stop!

Leave her alone!

Back off!

Traitors!
She killed him!

Let me go! Aah!

You murderer!

Come on. We got
to get you to medical.

Let go of me.

That's how I feel.

Is Madi OK?

I think she's relieved.

Being commander brought
her so much pain.

And now she won't
have to pretend anymore.

You OK?

When I became a Fleimkepa scout,

I was... I was so young,

so, uh, angry at my mother.

In training, they taught that

you must devote
yourself to the Flame.

All worldly concerns fall away.

You can have no other loyalty.

Sounds lonely.

It was, but I had my faith.

Now I don't know what I have.

Are you OK?

I realized no matter
what we do to help

it always ends the same.

I used to think fighting
is what we do.

Now I worry that
fighting is what we are.

We all have a choice.

I want to believe that,

but we keep ending up
in the same place,

and every time, people die.

I don't want to lose
anyone else.

Ahh.

Is something wrong, doctor?

Do you even care about
the people that you've killed?

My list of regrets is long.

How is he?

Alive.

For now anyway.

The pyre awaits.

If you die, your
people will burn

sanctum to the ground.

I can't have that.

Too bad you don't have
the forces to stop it.

You think I didn't
notice that some

of my guards are gone?

Your believers still want
to know how you are.

They've lost faith in Jordan,

but he tells me one
of them was helpful

in stopping the attack.

She'll be allowed to see you.

To aid in your
recovery, my lord.

Coming through.
Can we get a little help here.

- Raven!
- What happened?

Come over here.

You were right about Jordan.

He never suspected.
He did exactly what

you predicted he would.

And the shooter?

Dead.

Tobin was honored
to give his life for yours.

The honor is all mine.

Hallowed be your name.

Here. Let me
take a look.

Can you move your arm?

OK. Good.
