03x08 - Terms and Conditions

[bunniefuu]

Previously on "The 100"...

Version two of my code isn't on any of the 12 stations that made up the Ark.

There was supposed to be 13.

Monty: Is this where we're going?

The people there are not a thr*at.

We need that land.

With the loss of Mount Weather's resources, Arkadia will be starving in less than a year.

Octavia: I'm here to warn you.

They want your land, and they will k*ll all of you to get it.

Pike: We need to talk about your sister.

Someone in this camp is giving her information.

We both know who.

Skaikru att*cked their village.

Lexa: We will blockade the 13th Clan.

We will give them time to take out their leaders from within.

Any Skaikru caught across the line will be subject to a k*ll order.

Man, on radio: That's a negative.

Still no response from Recon Team B. No word.

Hannah: Let me know if the status changes.

Man, on radio: Copy that.

And?

Sir, we lost contact with one of our recon teams.

There were 4 men.

3 teams departed Arkadia at 0800 hours on routine patrol.

Each of them reported Grounder contact less than a mile outside of camp.

As per your orders, two teams retreated and made it safely back inside the walls.

Third?

Was forced to engage.

I believe they were attempting to secure a defensive position when... they ceased transmissions.

Grounders are close.

Gathering from the north and west.

It appears they're establishing a blockade.

There's no way through it.

Something's changed.

Sir, you need to see this.

What do they want?

They brought a message.

I've seen this before.

Open the gate.

Pike: Do what he says.

Man: Open the gate.

Talk.

We seek the one you call Pike.

Why?

An army has fallen, blood soaking the earth where he took their lives one by one.

Welcome to the w*r against Skaikru.

Life was taken. We demand life in return.

My life?

What are your terms, sir?

Come with us, and we walk away.

Walk away from what?

By other of the Commander, you have been surrounded by an army of the 12 clans.

In every direction, warriors wait to k*ll anyone who attempts to cross the blockade, To greet them as we greeted those we caught outside your walls today.

We left the bodies for the animals.

That's enough.

Let's go. They won't leave.

I have seen this before.

The men who wore those uniforms took a long time to die.

Bellamy, fall back. That's an order.

If you do not give up your leader, you will all take a long time to die.

Bellamy...

Choose the side that's best for your people.

I do that every day.

So far, nothing has changed my mind.

Man: Shut the gate. Go.

Our lookouts confirm another 3 encampments just over that ridge.

Well, they're not hiding from us.

That's for sure.

How many days can we keep our population fed without being able to send out hunting parties?

Hannah: Food and water stores were already at less than 60%.

Now maybe a week before we go critical, two if we start rationing immediately.

Immediately it is.

What about breaking the blockade?

Pike: After Bellamy's theatrics this morning, they'll expect that.

Regardless, we can't engage the Grounders until we've got our own people under control, and that starts with Kane.

I need you to suspend access to the prisoners, no contact with anyone in camp.

For all we know, they've been providing intel on Grounder villages to Kane...

Yes, sir.

And I want you to take over coordination of camp surveillance.

We'll need new security protocols at all camp entrances.

Maybe, uh, changing critical passwords every 12 hours.

Good.

Good.

Coordinate with your mom but keep the circle tight.

Then there's the matter of campwide surveillance.

You want us to spy on our people?

We can't do what's needed to defend this camp if every order I give is leaked before it can be ex*cuted.

It's an old saying, but it's true... the walls have ears, and we can't afford any more assumptions about who's a friend and who isn't, not your oldest acquaintance, not your husband, wife, or lover.

We're fighting two wars now, and the more dangerous one is here inside this camp.

We can't prove it yet, but Kane and his accomplices passed information to Octavia.

I know none of you signed up to investigate your neighbors, but Monroe and Lacroix d*ed because the traitors in this camp sold them out to the Grounders.

Whoever did that will be hunted down and exposed for what they did to their own, for what they did to us.

Now you get whatever resources, whatever personnel you need to make that happen.

Dismissed.

If they're gonna play that game, we need to play it, too.

Meaning?

We don't meet here again, for starters.

We change our patterns, forget our habits.

Take a different route through camp each time we go out.

Assume that there are eyes on us at all times.

Or we could just shock-lash Pike's fascist ass and hand him to the Grounders.

That would be m*rder, not to mention treason, and that's not who we are.

Maybe it's who we need to be.

Not yet.

All right. Then what's the plan?

Jasper: What do you mean, there's no more alcohol?

What kind of a bartender are you?

First off, I'm not a bartender.

You could say that again.

Second, according to Pike's order, all resources are to be rationed until the Grounder blockade is lifted.

That means food...

I'm not hungry.

And water.

We live next to a lake.

Which the Grounders have poisoned.

We're filtering at the pump, but that can't keep up with demand, so that means no alcohol.

Jaha: How sure are you that the debris from the 13th Station fell into the ocean?

A.L.I.E. and I ran the trajectories a thousand times, literally a thousand times.

But what is the actual probability that you're right?

Between 75% and 80%.

Not good enough. Keep looking.

I told you, this is as good as it gets.

Then you need more resources.

How?

We need to increase the population in the City of Light.

The more minds turned to the task, the more powerful A.L.I.E. becomes and the closer we get to finding that second A.I..

One problem... when Abby shut us down, Pike confiscated our chip-maker.

Then we need to get it back.

How? Who's gonna be crazy enough to...

Jasper: I don't even need a whole bottle.

Just give me a glass.

You got a problem, Jasper.

Float you, Sinclair.

Pike: I need every crate checked, not just counted.

We need all the a*mo we can scrounge.

Well, most of these crates are less than third capacity.

I don't know what kind of outfit Chancellor Griffin was running around here.

Kind that wasn't planning on a w*r footing for life.

A word?

You don't really believe you can make enough b*ll*ts to stop all the Grounders, do you?

I have to.

No. You need to turn yourself in and end this blockade.

Is that why you're here, to run this plan by me?

No, I'm here because I have a responsibility to speak to you like someone who understands this world in a way that you don't.

The only way this doesn't end with us dead is you doing the right thing.

Like you all did the right thing when you turned in that boy Finn?

You surrendered one of the young lives you swore to protect, and the Grounders did what they always do.

They betrayed you.

There's only one way for this w*r to end... we put the Grounders down and keep them down until they know better than to take one more step in our direction.

You've become a dictator, Charles.

You realize that, don't you?

I am the chancellor.

I'm doing what's necessary, nothing more, nothing less.

When this ends with our camp in ruins... you won't be able to say no one told you there was a better way out.

No. When this ends with Arkadia victorious, you'll only have yourself to blame for choosing the wrong side.

You said there'd be booze.

I lied...

Oh, damn it.

But I brought you here to talk about something you might find even more interesting... the City of Light.

Go on.

I hear you have experience breaking into offices of elected officials.

That I do.

Pike's office. Chip-maker?

You'll need to distract the guards.

They know I'm with Jaha, but they think that you're just a...

Drunken idiot. I know.

For what it's worth, I think you're more than that.

Thanks.

If we're lucky enough to get to the door, Pike's changed his access code, 5-digit numeric.

Ha ha! That's gonna have, like, a trillion different combinations.

A hundred million, but yeah.

Who is gonna figure that out?

I was thinking you.

Aha. Well, we were just talking about how I'm a drunken idiot.

Pike put Monty in charge of internal surveillance.

My guess is, he's got him in on electronic security, as well, which means we don't have to cr*ck Pike's password, just Monty's, and who knows more about Monty than you?

Sounds like a terrible idea.

I'm in.

Ha ha! All right.

Kane: Hey, anyone followed?

No. What about you?

No. No. I'm good. Any word from Octavia?

Been scanning different channels all morning.

Nothing. I mean, either she's out of range...

Or they already got her.

Or she ran her battery down.

Or she needed the radio silence to run the blockade.

There are a lot of reasons why she might have gone dark.

I've been out there patrolling for the last 3 months.

I know this area better than any Grounder.

Just let me go out...

Guys, listen to this.

Pike: Results of this morning's missions inventory was sobering.

In no way do we currently have the a*mo for an extended series of firefights, not even close.

Bellamy: So what's Plan "B"?

Our lookouts say the largest Grounder encampment is in this valley, so we deploy an as*ault team in Rover One, and we do as much damage as we can with a*t*matic weapons.

Hannah: And they'll just fall back and make a run for reinforcements.

I'm counting on that.

The only way there and back is over this ridge.

Now, we can bottleneck their warriors and pick them off.

We got the firepower for that?

We won't need it.

We have a dozen concussive antipersonnel devices in our armory.

I've already got a weapons man rigging them with a remote trigger.

We load the APDs into the rover and mine the field before we att*ck.

After we strike, we lure their reinforcements onto the ridge, and once we have enough Grounders in the k*lling box...

We detonate. It'll buy us some time, but...

Time's what we need.

We move at dawn.

[beep]

All right.

We need to disable that rover.

If they take it out, it doesn't matter how many Grounders they k*ll.

10 times that number will descend on Arkadia, and no one'll survive.

You got any idea how we're gonna stop them?

I might.

Last chance to pull out.

This plan has a high probability of going south.

Right. Yeah. I wouldn't miss it.

Be ready in an hour.

Monty: Bellamy, you were right.

I've got eyes on Kane.

Bellamy, on radio: Anything suspicious?

Yeah. He's got something going, and I think Sinclair's part of it.

Copy that. We'll stay on Sinclair.

Bellamy's heading towards you now.

Sinclair, what are you up to?

Raven said the solenoid is acting up, so I thought I'd swap it out.

You got a work order for that?

Sure. I think it's on my desk.

Go.

Man: Go! Right there.

Different man: Right there.

Turn around.

There is no work order, and there is nothing wrong with the rover, Though if you had another 10 minutes, I'm sure there would be.

You're under arrest. The charge is treason.

All right. Come on.

That's one down.

Anything?

Not a word.

Perhaps you'd like to talk about that.

Never seen it before.

Really? I thought you engineers like to take credit for your work.

Give me your g*n.

You planning on using that on me, too?

Will it help you give up any names?

Bellamy: He'll talk eventually.

Let's put him in lock-up.

He's a traitor.

On the Ark...

We would have floated him... but we're not on the Ark.

Lock him up.

Move.

What else could Monty have used as a password?

You mean other than the 500 ideas I've already come up with?

Just think. Don't overanalyse.

Right, speaking of which, how, exactly are you connected to the computer here?

I mean, how do you know every idea I've had is wrong without even trying it?

A.L.I.E.: We don't have time for questions.

There will be a guard checking this room in approximately 5 minutes.

Raven?

It'll be easier for you to see for yourself than for me to explain it.

Huh, the old carrot and stick, huh?

Whatever it takes, Jasper. Just keep trying.

What's Monty's favorite color?

Green. It's a joke.

275 iterations, not it.

Favorite book.

"Catcher in the Rye."

Where do those ducks go, anyway?

Keep trying.

Favorite place.

Down here or up there?

Either. Both.

Starboard window bay.

It has the best view of the moon on the whole damn ship, and we used to get a little baked, just sit back, watch the sky playing, um, "On Which Planet Would You Rather?"

Answer was always Earth. We were such dumbasses.

That's it.

What?

What?

The code is an alphanumeric sequence representing the word "Earth."

Good job, Jasper.

Looks like Monty was thinking about the same window you were.

[beep]

Hey, uh, presuming we don't get caught or k*lled, I'm first in line for a chip, ok?

Find anything?

Electronics are intact.

We must've caught Sinclair before he could do any damage.

I know this must be hard for you.

Sinclair recruited me into engineering.

He was my mentor, and now I just helped lock him up.

You did the right thing.

Yeah?

I'm not so sure about that.

Monty, being down here, I've learned that if something helps you survive, it's always the right thing.

Pike taught me that, taught all of us.

It's what kept us alive.

You do what it takes.

Come on.

Good?

Yeah.

[beep beep beep]

Right. You're in there.

Get this off.

[beep]

Locking their own up now.

What'd you do to get in here?

Whatever it took.

I have a message for you from Kane.

Get ready. Tonight's a go.

Wasn't much of a plan, sabotaging the rover.

Keeping an eye on Sinclair was an easy call.

Was it?

Spying on your friend, that was easy?

People here in camp were losing focus.

There's a thr*at outside these walls...

The thr*at's inside the walls.

Can't you see that?

Pike's turning us against each other.

He's the chancellor. Have you forgotten that?

No. No. I haven't.

Then do the right thing.

That's the problem.

No matter how I look at it, I am.

Really? Because the way I see it, Monroe d*ed because of you.

And now Pike's locked up Sinclair.

You don't think he'll be the next to die?

Of course not.

Think about where this ends... half the camp behind bars while the other half starves.

People won't stand for it.

They'll turn against Pike, but by then, it'll be too late.

Pike has a plan.

Pike's always got a plan, and it's always the same one... take the fight to the Grounders.

That's what got Monroe k*lled.

You're crossing a line, Kane.

No. No. I crossed it.

I asked you here because I hoped you'd join me.

It's still not too late to choose the right side.

That's exactly what I came here to tell you.

Hey.

Hey.

Want to explain to me why we don't work the same detail anymore?

Well, you like days. I like nights.

Told you I'd switch.

Didn't you say you're gonna talk to Bellamy?

Yeah. Just haven't had the time.

Yeah.

I noticed you haven't been around much lately.

Nate... what's going on?

Nothing.

Something.

You know what it is.

Pike?

Again?

You asked.

Hey, I keep telling you, if you don't like the man's policies, just get off the guard.

Now is not the best time for that.

Yeah? Why not?

There's a blockade outside of camp, food rationing inside, jail full of Grounders.

There's a lot for people to be upset about right now.

This... this is... this is all the more reason to stand behind your chancellor.

I got to go.

Here.

[sighs]

So the bug's in place?

It's in his jacket.

I don't think he knows.

Good man.

Am I?

Is this... is... is any of this worth lying to someone I love?

It is if you're protecting him.

Unless the person he needs protection from is me.

Jasper: South hallway's clear.

Raven: East is, too.

Knowing Monty, that password will automatically reset in 5 minutes, so...

Let's make the most of it.

Yeah. Yeah.

Guess we are as smart as we think we are.

Right. Pike doesn't have a safe, so...

Jaha's little chip-maker's got to be here somewhere.

[exhales]

This is all pretty crazy, huh...

Grounders at the gate, an ultimatum, one life to spare us all.

How's that different from any other day around here?

It's just, we've been here before... you know, with Finn.

You remember that, right?

I mean, I... I was in Mount Weather, but you... you remember Finn dying when Clarke k*lled...

I entered the City of Light to relieve my pain.

Why would I remember that?

Less talking, more looking, ok, Jasper?

I think it's a good thing you can't remember the bad stuff.

That's what I want to forget.

If I could wake up one morning without thinking about Maya dying, you know, if I could only remember the good stuff, like holding her hand for the first time and listening to our favorite music, you know, like when Finn gave you that necklace.

Is that how it works, you can think of your first kiss and just be happy?

Of course.

My first kiss.

That's not important now.

Our mission is to...

When was my first kiss?

What? I don't know. Don't you?

I can't remember.

I got it.

All right. Give it to me.

Good work.

Then go.

Take it and go.

I don't remember.

Raven?

Finn was real.

I...

Loved him, right?

What's going on?

Raven, you need to go.

I don't remember anything about him at all.

We can't let her have this. Run.

Give us a minute.

Marcus.

Thank you for meeting me.

I hope you're ready to negotiate the terms and conditions of your surrender.

He says he's ready to talk.

You have something to say?

What do you want to know?

Everything.

Kane: On the Ark, you taught your students about the promise of our future, about the responsibility our descendents would bear when they finally set foot on the ground.

We didn't start this w*r, but you can be damn sure I intend to finish it.

Sinclair: I want immunity.

I'm the chief engineer, and this camp needs me.

That's up to Pike, but it shouldn't be a problem.

What happened to you, Charles?

You committed treason.

You acted against your own people.

Don't stand there and try and take the high road with me.

It's demeaning.

I did nothing wrong.

Nothing that I can prove yet.

Sinclair will give you up.

It's only a matter of time.

It's over, Marcus.

Is it?

What do you got?

So... the cowards make their deals to save their own skin.

Quiet.

Can't defeat the army at the gate, so you turn on your own?

Make you feel strong?

I said, be quiet.

I'm not the one who needs to be silenced.

You'll tell them nothing.

Lincoln!

Cover me.

Kom nau!

[all shouting]

[beep]

[alarm pinging]

Man, on P.A.: All available guards to lock-up.

Go.

Sir.

[alarm continues]

I don't suppose you know anything about this.

As a matter of fact, I do.

You left me no choice.

It worked. We're clear.

The guards have their hands full.

Is the gate open?

Miller, on radio: Waiting on you.

Bellamy, come in.

Bellamy!

Miller, on radio: Cargo locked and loaded?

Affirmative. On the move.

[engine starts]

[alarm continues]

Monty, on radio: Bellamy, the riot's a distraction.

Kane's going in for Pike.

[alarm continues]

Get the hell out of the way, Bellamy!

Should've k*lled me yourself.

[engine stops]

This has never happened to me before.

When I communicate with someone, they listen to me.

They agree with me.

Raven...

Is strong, and she's not alone.

Free will and the need for consent are part of my core programming.

I cannot override them.

I know that, but maybe I can.

As you know, the terms of martial law and of the Exodus Charter give me both latitude and ultimate authority in determining your punishment.

Do you have anything to say for yourself?

I admire your adherence to the rule of law...

I really do... but these are times when we have to look beyond the rules... to realize they were established to serve a world of the past, not of the future.

I beg you one last time... to see the world as it is, not as it was or as you want it to be.

And I hope you believe... that if I thought for one minute that turning myself over to the enemy would secure the safety of our people...

I would do it... but only a deluded man would believe that... and only a guilty man would try and tell him so.

Marcus Kane, for the crimes of treason, kidnapping, and attempted m*rder, I hereby sentence you to death.

Take him.

Sir... are we really k*lling our own people now?

We're at w*r.

Crimes against our leadership can't be tolerated.

So Kane dies to be an example.

Kane's actions put this whole camp, everyone's lives at risk today.

He costs us lives in his misguided zeal to appease our enemy, people you knew.

Your friends d*ed because of him.

Am I making him an example?

You're damn right, and I hope his execution makes it clear once and for all where people's allegiances need to lie.

Do you understand that?

Good man.

You're dismissed.

What about Miller and Harper?

Nicely done today.

I'm proud of both of you.

Thanks, Mom.

Were you able to identify anyone Kane was working with?

No.

Let's hope today's actions make it clear to the people of Arkadia which side they should be on.

It's not really that hard, choosing what's best for your people, is it?

No.

I do it every day.
