"I am become death"
season 01, episode 10

Berlin had missed a lot. She spent a day in her and Octavia's tent. Octavia was with Lincoln, who Berlin learned, was the grounder that stabbed her and was tortured by them. Berlin was just happy that Octavia had someone like that. She could tell that her friend really liked him and she was safe and that was all that mattered. Yesterday was unity day, she heard the commotion, she heard everyone screaming and laughing and getting drunk but Berlin didn't want any part of it. Unity day for her had always been being alone in a cell, having no one to celebrate it with and that's how she wanted to spend it on the ground.

Clarke had came rushing to her tent that night to tell her what happened. Finn had talked to Lincoln and asked him to bring them his leader so that they could call a truce but long story short, it did not end good. Guns were fired, bows were launched and there was no truce. Clarke also told her that the exodus ship came early. Berlin cried as Clarke told her there was no parachute and that the ship blew up when it landed.

When Berlin finally managed to get herself together and come out of the tent, she saw Octavia bringing in...Murphy? He was bloody and dirty. He looked scared and like he had been brutally tortured. Berlin helped Octavia bring him into the drop ship while some people stood around and watched as his body shook and little gasps came out of his mouth.

"Where is he?" The flap opened and Bellamy and Clarke came striding in. The pair stopped when they saw him. "Everyone but Connor and Derek, out. Now!"

People rushed out of the drop ship immediately as the rest stood still, watching the scene before them. "He claims he was with the grounders." Derek said with a sigh as if Murphy was lying.

"We caught him trying to sneak back in the camp." Connor said with a gun in his hand.

"I wasn't sneaking. I was running from the grounders." Murphy said quietly with hitched breaths.

"Anyone see grounders?" Bellamy asked with a fire in his eyes as he stared at Murphy.

Everyone shook their head no as Berlin bent down in front of Murphy to look at him. "What did they do to you?" She asked in horror.

"Well, in that case." Bellamy lifted his gun and pointed it at Murphy but Finn was quick to stop him and put the gun down.

"Hey, what the hell is wrong with you?" Finn argued with a glare on his face.

"We were clear what would happen if he came back!" Bellamy went to lift his gun up again but Finn stepped in front of it.

"No, if he was with the grounders, then he knows things that can help us." Finn says and Berlin agreed. Whether they like it or not, Murphy knew things that they needed to know.

"Help us?" Bellamy asked incredulously, "we hanged him, we banished him and now we're gonna kill him. Get the hell out of my way."

"No." Berlin said as she glanced back at Bellamy, who looked at her with a scorned look, "Finn's right."

"Like hell he is!" Bellamy shouted before he took a breath and spoke quieter and softer, "Berlin, think about Charlotte."

"I am thinking about her, Bellamy, but what happened to Charlotte is as much our fault as it is his." She said with a pained expression before turning back to Murphy. Her eyes looked to his hands and she slowly reached out to grab them as she examined him. "He's not lying. His fingernails were torn off. They tortured him."
