The Rebel Daughter - Clarke Griffin & Raven Reyes

CHAPTER 28 - BLOOD MUST HAVE BLOOD - I

MOUNT WEATHER

Bellamy makes his way into the Harvest Chamber in Mount Weather to meet up with the grounders who are locked inside. He goes to the cage where Echo is locked in and opens it.

Bellamy: Get up. It's time to go. I told you I'd come back for you. Come on out. Our people are marching on Mount Weather right now.

As Bellamy tries to free another grounder, he seems apprehensive.

Bellamy: Hey. It's ok. We're getting you out.

Echo: Slow down. They just bled him.

Bellamy: Listen to me. There's an army inside this room, and I need you to help me get them ready to fight. Can you do that?

Echo nods at him in agreement.

Bellamy: Good. Start with him. 

Echo [in Trig]: It's Ok. We can trust him.

As Bellamy starts freeing the grounders from their cages they start to get excited and make a lot of noise by banging on cages.

Bellamy: Too much noise.

Echo move towards the center of the cages and look at all the grounders.

Echo [in Trig]: If you want to be free, be quiet!

The grounders immediately become silent.

Echo: Ok. How do we do this?

Bellamy: There's an army outside going for the main door. When they get it open, all hell will break loose. That is the signal for my friends to come here, and then-

Bellamy is interrupted by Cage on the PA who is in command center with Emerson and other guards.

Cage [on P.A]: My fellow citizens, this is your president speaking. I have news to share with you that will change all of our lives forever. For 97 years, Mount Weather has been our home. It's kept us alive, but it has also held us captive. Most of us have made peace with what we've had to do to survive. We've done these things for one reason... so that our people could someday return to the ground. That day is today.

Bellamy: He's going public. 

Cage: Before my friend Lorelei Tsing was murdered by the outsiders still at large in this mountain, she found a cure. It was in their bone marrow.

Bellamy hands the key's of the cage to Echo and prepare to leave.

Bellamy: Here. I'll be back.

Echo: Where are you going?

Bellamy: He's trying to get his people to turn on each other. They'll find my friends. I have to bring them here now. I'll send them in groups. You get your people ready to go, but you wait for me to come back, do you understand?

Echo leaves and as Bellamy is leaving she pulls him back.

Echo: Wait! Thank you.

Bellamy: You free your people. Protect mine when they get here. We can thank each other when we're all outside.

Bellamy leaves Echo to free the others while Cage is still on the PA.

Cage: This has been the dream of our people since the bombs, but to reach it now, I need your help. The 44 criminals that irradiated level 5, killing 15 of our people, are now keeping us from that dream. Although we've repaired our home, we can never replace the lives that were so viciously taken from us, and as hard as it is to believe, there are those among us who would help the people who did this, and I am speaking to you now. If you truly want to end the blood treatments once and for all, then the 44 murderers you're now hiding are the key to doing that. You have one hour to turn them in without punishment. After that, we'll be forced to consider you enemies of the state. I'm asking you, please do what's right for your people, our people, so that we can all take our rightful place on the ground. We're almost home.
