Speaker A

Just back it up, guys. Stop. The air could be toxic. The air is toxic. We're all dead anyway. So if we want to get there before dark, we need to leave now. I got a better idea. You two go find it for us. Let the privileged do the hard work for a change. Don't listen to her. She's one of the privileged. If they come down, she'll have it good. How many of you can say the same? Good. Follow me. And why would I do that?

Speaker A

[Music] I'm getting that wristband, even if I have to cut off her hand to do it. The only way the Ark is gonna think I'm dead is if I'm dead. Brave princess. I never dreamed that I'd meet somebody like you.

Speaker A

[Music] Get out. Look at what we've achieved: the wall, the patrols. Like it or not, thinking the ground has killed Wells is good for us. Oh, good for you. You mean you don't even know whose knife that is?

Speaker A

Oh, really? JM, I saw you in the woods with Adam. I know you're not a killer. This is on you, princess. You should have kept your mouth shut. He deserves to die. No, we don't decide who lives and dies. So help me God, if you say that people have a right to decide. Oh no, I was wrong before. Okay, you were right. But if we're gonna survive down here, we can't just live by whatever the hell we want. We need rules. And who makes those rules, huh? You?

Speaker A

For now, we make the rules. Don't you see what this means? You're not a murderer. You always did what you had to do to protect your sister. That's who you are. Can you wish on this kind of shooting star?

Speaker A

[Music] Forget it. I don't even know what to wish for. What about you? To make me feel this way? Clark, you don't have to be here for this. [Applause] Why are you asking me? Well, because right now I don't feel like being around anyone I actually like.

Speaker A

[Music] Yeah, it's good. Uh, what'd you learn? That was amazing. Am I horrible for feeling that? Try again. No, we shouldn't waste the enemies. Put it down. Should have stayed down there, Clark. Walk away now, and I won't kill you. Put it down. [Applause] You're okay. Oh, I'm not. Oh, I don't like to always hurt people. I'm a monster. Hey, you saved my life today, and you may be a total ass half the time, but I need you. Nothing. We all need you. You want forgiveness? Fine. I'll give it to you. You're forgiven. Okay, you can't run, Bellamy.

Speaker A

[Music] You have to come back with me. When you sent us down here, you sent us to die. But miraculously, most of us are still alive. In large part, that is because of him.

Speaker A

[Music] Because of Bellamy. He's one of...

Speaker A

[Music] [Applause] [Music] Have some fun while you still can. You deserve it. So do you, by the way. I'll have my phone. When the grounders come, I need to talk to you. I'm fun yet, princess. I'm serious. You always are, so talk. Just gonna know about this. Finn doesn't need...

Speaker A

[Music] Let me stay back. Did he do something to you?

Speaker A

Everything will change. I'll see what I can do. Nothing stays the same here.

Speaker A

[Music] Feeling better? I am become death, destroyer of the world. It's Oppenheimer, the man who built the first...

Speaker A

[Music] You did good here, Bellamy. I can't do this without you. What do you want me to say, Clark? I want you to say that you're with us. Those kids out there, they listen to you. You're lining up to go listen to you. I gave them an easy choice, but five minutes ago, they were willing to fight and die for you. You inspire them.

Speaker A

[Music] Oh. [Applause] [Music] No, there's something I thought I'd never see.

Speaker A

[Music] [Applause] Last time I saw you, keep closing the dropship door.

Speaker A

[Music] Had to be done. I'm sure that had to be done too.

Speaker A

[Music] I swear to God, if your mom doesn't sanction a mission soon, I'm going by myself. You will be by yourself. Back off right now.

Speaker A

[Music] What happened? Run away. I need a bandage.

Speaker A

[Music] I said no. Since I don't take orders from you, I'm gonna need a better reason. I can't lose you too. Okay.

Speaker A

[Music] There are no more sides.

Speaker A

[Music] What is...

Speaker A

[Music] That I would get myself killed? I was being weak. Love is weakness. Your faith in him? I do. I hope your faith is well placed because if he can't get inside, we can't win. He will. Anything from Bellamy? No. Then why aren't you at the radio?

Speaker A

[Music] [Applause] [Music] Are you all right? We need a plan that doesn't kill everyone. Please tell me we have one. Yeah, you'll find me. Yeah, you came through. I knew you would. Clark was trying to protect you. We had to protect Bellamy. You care about him. We care about all of them. Do you worry about him?

Speaker A

[Music] What have I done? If we do this, there is no going back. You need forgiveness.

Speaker A

[Music] Seeing their faces every day, it's just gonna remind me of what I did to get them here. What we did. You don't have to do this.

Speaker A

[Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] Alone.

Speaker A

[Music] [Music] [Music] Is...

Speaker A

[Music] Say something.

Speaker A

[Music] Oh, please, please don't. I'll do anything. I'll stop fighting. Just please.

Speaker A

[Music] I'm feeling so small. We can't lose her. It was all over my head. She left us to die in that mountain. She will always put her people first. You should come home to yours. I'm sorry. What are you doing here, Clark? You need to talk. Oh, you've decided that.

Speaker A

[Applause] Mighty one. Hate him. We chose the grounders over our own people who turned her back on us when we came to rescue you. Now you want to talk? Please tell me that going to war is not what you want.

Speaker A

[Music] [Music] And I like you and Octavia and Cain convince me that we could trust these people when they have shown over and over who they are. And I won't let anyone else die for that mistake. You need me? Yes, I do. I need the guy who wouldn't let me pull that lever in Mount Weather by myself.

Speaker A

You left me. You were willing to let a bomb drop on my sister. Then you made a deal with Lexa, who left us in Mount Weather to die and forced us to kill everyone who helped us. People who trusted me.

Speaker A

Say something. I'm giving up on you.

Speaker A

[Music] And I'm sorry that I couldn't.

Speaker A

[Music] [Applause] One day, a good little night by his queen's side. Too bad you remember that devoted to Gina. Something. I'm giving up on you. You'll recover.

Speaker A

[Music] Safe, alive. What do you do when you realize you might not be the good guy? Maybe there are no good guys.

Speaker A

[Music] I will march down an empty street like a ship into the storm.

Speaker A

[Music] Me.

Speaker A

[Music] You think I'm letting you do this alone? Follow me. This is my fault. I'm not letting anyone else die for my mistake. Okay, so take it. I don't know what happened between you and Emerson and Polis, but I do know that letting him kill you here today...

Speaker A

[Music] Well, I don't need your help.

Speaker A

[Music] I was so angry. The only way we're gonna pull this off is together.

Speaker A

[Music] Is...

Speaker A

[Music] Okay, yeah.

Speaker A

[Music] You'll be covering us the entire time, and I trust you.

Speaker A

[Music] Her friends start with Bellamy Blake. Are you here? You're not the only one here trying to save someone you care about. We're not putting the flame in Ontari's head. We're putting it in mine. So that thing killed Emerson in seconds, liquefied his brain. Try doing that hanging upside down.

Speaker A

[Music] [Music] No.

Speaker A

[Music] I don't know if you mean everything to me.

Speaker A

[Music] Don't want to find I've lost.

Speaker A

[Music] Let her go. Back off.

Speaker A

[Music] Okay, you can still come with us.

Speaker A

Leadership is a lonely pursuit, but you, you keep her centered.

Speaker A

[Music] If I'm on that list...

Speaker A

[Music] Don't know if you mean everything to me.

Speaker A

[Music] [Music] So can we just...

Speaker A

[Music] She'll come around and see how special you are, Clark. If I don't see you again, you will. That was her idea. We did what we had to do, which means there was an even better chance of nobody getting into this bunker or nobody surviving the end of the human race. Can you understand that?

Speaker A

Yeah, I can understand that. You did what you think you had to do, like always. But you can't, you can't expect me to stay down here not knowing what happened to my sister.

Speaker A

To remind me where I came from. With me.

Speaker A

[Music] We don't have time for this. The radiation is getting worse, and people are dying up there. What are you doing? What I have to do, like always. Now get away from the door. No, this isn't like shutting the dropship door or pulling a lever in Mount Weather or in the city of mind. We knew what we were stopping then. Now we know nothing. Eyes, we know that if that door stays shut, the human race survives.

Speaker A
