What are you doing? I'll be contaminated. Where's my friend? He's fine. You don't understand, ok? He's... uhh! Take me to him. Uhh! Clarke, you're bleeding. How do you know my name? It was on your chart. How do they know my name? I don't know. Please don't hurt me. You want to live? (Rattles doorknob) Do exactly what I say. I don't think so. Key card. I just need my key card. (Beeping) (Sobbing) Which level? Who are you people? Answer me. How many of us are here? Where are they? Say something! Woman on recording: Arrived. Level 5. (Piano playing) (Indistinct chatter) Containment breach. Containment breach! (People screaming) Where the hell am I? Monroe: Bellamy? Get back down. You were followed? Quiet. Have you seen Finn? Finn's alive? He was. We got separated. We knew the fire was coming, so, we ran, but one of them followed. How'd you guys get out? We... we saw the Ark come down. We thought we'd come get help. Piece of it came down this way. Monroe thinks it's Mecha, but personally, I think... (Indistinct chatter) Follow me. Stay low and quiet. I can't... I can't go anymore. Uhh! Ooh! On your feet. I can't. He can't keep up. I said get on your feet. (Coughing) Get up. Uhh! No! Uhh! No! That's one. I lost 300. Uhh.

Drink. You're lucky. I need to keep one of you alive to talk to the commander. Get up. Ai laik okteivia kom skai kru en ai gaf gouthru klin. "Klir," not "klin." "Gouthru klir." Again. "I'm Octavia of the sky people and I seek safe passage." Why do I even have to learn this? You speak English. Only our warriors speak English. When we get to the sea, you need to sound like one of us. Then we have time. Tell me about this one. A statue near my village. A place we go to settle disputes. Stop stalling and pull it out. (Gasping) No warning? Nothing? (Groaning) I take it back. No warning is better. (Groaning) Ahh. Oh, my God. (Sigh) (Spits) Poison. I'm guessing this means you don't have the antidote? No. I gave it to Finn to save Raven. So, we go back. It's too far. It's further to the sea. Damn it. Lincoln, we are not going back to your village. You know what they do to traitors. Octavia. Death by 1,000 cuts. Every single member of your clan will take a turn stabbing you, and then they'll feed you to the bugs. It's what you told me. Here. Take this. Here. Hey. I will be right back. Lincoln, where are you going? The antidote. It comes from the beetles that feed on the river moss. You're gonna feed on the beetles. It'll work. Uhh! (Groaning) (Gasp) (Grunting) (Gasping) W... whoa, it's ok. It's ok, Raven, don't. Don't shoot. Please. Why not? You shot me. (Click) (Click click) (Click) (Sigh) (Gasping) (Sigh) (Sigh) Yeah, I would've shot me, too. (Clarke gasping) Hello, Clarke. How is your arm? Not much of a talker, is she? Skill picked up from the savages, no doubt. That's fine. Maya has something to say first anyway. You were the next one to be cleared through quarantine. Another 10 minutes and you would've... Ahem. I'm not pressing charges. Thank you, Maya. You can get your treatment now. Dr. Tsing: Ok. Let's go. Bed 3. Restraints aren't necessary. Yes, Mr. President. Dante Wallace. Oil paint. That's right. You're an artist, too. Who told you that? Your people did. They also said you were their leader. Looks like you and I have a lot in common, kiddo. Where's my watch? I'm sorry, but we can't let contaminated items inside Mount Weather. We couldn't risk it. Our protocol is very strict, Clarke. We prioritize safety over sentimentality. How many of us did you capture? 48, including you, but Clarke, you've got it wrong. You're not prisoners. We saved you. Well, in that case, you won't mind if we leave. If there are 48 of us here, we still have people out there. The patrol brought in everyone they could find. What about the Ark? It came down last... We saw it. There were multiple crash sites over 100 square miles. If there were survivors, we will bring them in, too. You have my word. I want to see my people. Of course you do. I would, too. Change and meet me in the hall. Come on. Let's go. Let's give Clarke some privacy. (Door closes) (Machine whirring) Dante: Ok. Just take care of it. Sorry about the noise. Hydroelectric power from philpott dam. Fresh water from our own underground reservoir. Fresh food from our hydroponic farm. I don't understand. You're on the ground. You know it's survivable. Why would you stay here? It's not survivable for us. The Grounders seem to have managed. Natural selection works. The Grounders who couldn't survive in the radiation didn't. Those who could passed on their DNA. For better or for worse here, we never went through that process. Well, neither did we. We've been on the ground now for... solar radiation. Very good. Your DNA ran the same gauntlet as the Grounders. Only because radiation levels in space are even higher, your ability to metabolize that radiation is even stronger. Truth be told, our scientists were blown away by the efficiency of your systems. If not for that, your friends would still be upstairs in quarantine. Please. First give me the heel. You're not fighting for your life anymore, Clarke. You've made it. Welcome to Mount Weather. Woman on recording: Arrived. Level 5. Woman: Your packet contains everything you need to know about Mount Weather, which I promise is not as confusing as the map on page one makes it up to look. (People chuckling) You came from level 3, which houses our medical facility. Clarke. (Sigh) Hi. You're ok. Hey. Hi. Oh, my... Finn and Bellamy? Clarke, they... they didn't make it. We don't know that. What about Raven? Woman: Welcome, Clarke. If you have any questions, I'm Keenan. (Sigh) What are you doing here, Murphy? (Clatter) Dying. Same as you. Speak for yourself. (Grunts) (Sigh) How many more are out there? None. (Sigh) You fried them all. The only reason this one survived is because they left him behind to guard me. (Gasp) (Coughing, gasping) Raven. Lie on your side. Lie on your side. Come on. Fine, then just roll over yourself. Get down on your side. You're ok. It's all good. Why are you helping me? I don't want to die alone. I know you're scared, but we are warriors. We can do this. How? We attack as a team. When he goes for me, Monroe goes for Finn. Once he's free, it's 4 on one. What do I do? Try not to die. Ready? 1, 2, 3. Hey! Man: Bellamy, get out of here! Hyah! Hyah! Aah! Uhh! (Horse nickers) (Both grunting) (Octavia screaming) Octavia. Octavia. What is it? Hey. What... what's wrong? What... wait, wait, wait. Hey! I saw a man. It was... it was a... a monster. It's the poison. You're burning up. We have to hurry. I know what we have to do. What are you doing? Where are we going? Just hold on.
