Bellamy has been captured by Mount Weather and is chained up and forced through the decontamination process where he is blasted with boiling water, doused with decontamination powder, inspected, given shots, and painfully scrubbed down and is chained up. In the Mess Hall of Mount Weather, Maya Vie and Jasper are concerned because both Harper and now Monty have gone missing.

Jasper: Monty's been missing for two days, Harper longer than that.

Maya: We'll keep looking. We'll find them.

Jasper: We both know where they are.

Maya: I checked the harvest chamber last night.

Jasper: So check it again. 

Jasper had brought attention to him so he became more quiet

Jasper: They took my best friend.

Maya: All right. I'll check again. You have to look like there's nothing wrong like everything is okay.

Jasper: Yeah...

Maya: Don't do anything stupid.

Jasper: It's okay. Everything is okay. Everything is-

Maya leaves the room and Jasper looks around.

Jasper: -not okay. Time to do something stupid.

THE WOODS

Two Mountain Men are hidden from sight as they watch Amelie riding with Clarke, Leta, Abby, Kira and several Grounders on their way from Tondc back to Camp Jaha. One of them has his sniper rifle trained on Amelie just as the group stops.

Mountain Man: Target acquired.

Emerson: The riders from Tondc got here fast.

Mountain Man: They're slowing down. 

The group stops and starts drinkjng water. Abby approaches Amelie and Clarke on foot

Mountain Man: Make that stopping. Hell, I could make that shot.

Emerson: Check that. We'll wait.

Amelie: Abby, why are we stopping?

Abby[Sighs]: You both need to drink, too.

Clarke: We're fine mom. We're almost at Camp Jaha. [to grounders] Our scouts patrol these woods. Be careful where you shoot.

The grounders nods and  keep distance

Abby: The Grounders listen to you both.

Amelie: Lexa and Leta told them to. We shouldn't have stopped. Mount up!

Abby; Clarke, Amelie

Clarke: Mom, We need to get back to that radio to see if Bellamy has made contact.

Abby: Listen to me. I know you don't think you need my protection anymore, but you do. You have to trust that I know what's right for us

Amelie had enough of this and starts to ride again. The grounder including Leta and Clarke follow behind her.

Emerson: There's your shot. Cross wind--five knots.

Just then, the sniper is hit by an arrow and the bullet misses Amelie, hitting a Grounder behind her.
