03x12 - Demons

[bunniefuu]

Previously on "The 100"...

Ontari: I am the last Natblida, heir to Bekka Pramheda, and you are my subjects.

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

The more minds turn to the task, the more powerful A.L.I.E. becomes.

Jasper: Jaha's been chipping everyone.

Clarke: Jasper's right.

I've seen it with my own eyes.

Abby: Now that Arkadia has fallen, we'll move on to stage two.

Monty: Mom, what are you doing? Stop!

[g*nsh*t]

Sinclair: Raven...

You know too much.

I can't let them have you.

Raven...

Why did A.L.I.E. want you to k*ll yourself?

Because I know why she wants the second A.I.

Why?

It's the only thing that can stop her.

Miller: You ever hear the one about the m*ssacre on Alpha Station?

No.

No?

No.

You?

Hey.

Ha ha!

Well, listen.

It... it wasn't long after Unity Day, right?

Generation One, they didn't know that they were leaving the ground forever.

Some of them lost their minds.

Not listening.

Ok, we got to meet the others in 6 hours.

I need sleep.

Oh, he hates ghost stories.

Well, I want to hear it, so come on, Miller.

Scare me.

All right.

There's this one guy... brazilian, Captain Fidalgo.

That was his name.

He started to see his dead wife and kids in his dreams.

They were all b*rned up from the bombs.

He told the ship's doc that they looked like demons.

[Chuckles]

After a while, he started to see them when he was awake, too.

He would beg and beg and beg them to leave him alone, just to stop, right?

They said the only way they'd leave him alone was if he did one thing.

Uh-huh.

What?

k*ll.

Well, like demons do.

Yeah. Like demons do.

His w*apon of choice... metal hook.

Mm.

[Chuckles]

A hook?

Mm-hmm.

That's the best you can do?

Shut up, Bryan. Let him tell it.

So he m*rder*d 11 people in one night.

He gutted them and strung them up in the mess.

Worst part of it, when the guards found him, he was cut into pieces, too.

He wrote a single word with his own blood on the floor with the arm that he didn't hack off... "demons."

[Thunder]

Pfff... God, I hate you.

Anyway, you know that, uh... that scraping sound we hear at Alpha station sometimes?

Some say that's Fidalgo's ghost dragging his metal hook along the walls, begging the demons to stop, but they never do, and he's back looking for his next victim!

Oh!

Ha ha ha!

[Sighs]

Ha ha!

Anyway, uh, nature calls.

Listen for that hook, right?

Look. Relax, Bryan.

No demons out there, just Grounders who didn't hear the blockade was lifted.

Army of chipped Arkadians.

[Thud]

Don't look at me. He's your boyfriend.

Oh, yeah.

Kick my boyfriend's ass.

Good luck.

Hey, when you guys find Captain Fidalgo, get him to chop up some more firewood, ok?

Heh.

[Thud]

[Gasps]

Oh, seriously, "A" for effort, Miller.

Guys?

[Thunder]

Bryan.

Guys, this isn't funny anymore.

[Thunder]

Miller.

[Exhales]

Got me.

You're hilarious. You can come back now.

He... Heda.

Heda.

For Heda.

Woman: Heda!

Woman: Heda.

Hey, stranger, care for a bite?

Emori, what the hell are you doing here?

Cooking rats.

The old vendor was brutally att*cked on the road.

It's dangerous out there.

Yeah. Clearly, it is.

I have been looking for you ever since you were taken, and then I heard rumors of the new Heda's handsome Skaikru Flamekeeper.

I knew it had to be you.

I taught you well.

She's one hell of a mark, John.

I want in.

Uh, love one. Thank you.

Mm, it's the best.

It's the best rat I've ever had.

Do not fall behind again.

Keep following this street, alley on the left, black door halfway down.

I'll get away as soon as I can.

Raven: Becca's journal is amazing.

At 26, she found a pathway to access a human mind.

That same year, she had to lock up A.L.I.E. because her answer for what was wrong with the world was too many people.

She was 27 when it launched the bombs.

What did she write about the Flame?

A.L.I.E. 2.0.

She saw it as a way to atone for her sins.

She designed it to not just access a human mind, but to merge with one.

It could never wipe us out because it would be one of us.

She would put it in herself first, altered her genes so her body wouldn't reject the implant.

Bekka Pramheda, the first Commander.

The gene therapy made her blood black, didn't it?

Yeah.

How did you know that?

Nightblood.

That's where it came from.

Somehow it became hereditary.

Luna has it.

That's why we have to find her.

If she can access A.L.I.E. 2...

She can tell us how to stop A.L.I.E. 1.

Bekka Pramheda gets her second sh*t at atonement.

Monty: Get back to the mind pathway.

If A.L.I.E. uses it to upload our minds to the City of Light, then there's a chance my mom's still alive.

That depends on your definition of "alive."

Bellamy: Eyes sharp. Weapons hot.

We're almost home.

Miller, come in.

[Static]

Harper, you there?

Ride's two minutes out.

Good start.

Clarke: We left two days ago.

Why haven't they fixed the gate?

Maybe because there's no one here to fix it.

Raven: It's like a ghost town.

Miller, where the hell are you?

I don't like this.

Maybe they got chipped.

If they got chipped, they'd been waiting for us at the cave.

Maybe they saw the open gate, went in for Lincoln's book.

Maybe you should stop saying "maybe."

Clarke: If they are chipped, A.L.I.E. already knows we're coming.

Let's get his book and get the hell out of here.

That's a plan I can support.

Lincoln.

[Brakes squeak]

Close it up. Turn the rover around.

We may need to get out of here quickly.

[Gate closes]

Looks like they just got up and walked away.

We're in and out.

Pack as much gear as you can into the rover.

I'll get the map.

Jasper: I'll, uh, go with her. No one should be alone.

You don't want to load gear, huh?

Not even a little.

What's the rush? They won't be coming back.

How do you know?

A.L.I.E.'s mission is to chip everyone.

It wouldn't make sense to return to a place she already took.

Might make sense if there were someone in that place... i.e., you... who could tell us stuff like that.

Good point. Let's load gear.

Hey...

What?

Remember when you told me it... it gets better?

This is not the same thing.

You know, it's ok to fall apart a little, Octavia.

You loved him.

[Inhales]

A warrior doesn't mourn the dead until the w*r is over.

I'll wait in the hall.

[Sniffles]

[Exhales]

[Sniffles]

[Gasps]

Luna, we're on our way.

Grounder.

Jasper...

Ready to prove how much you miss me?

[Chuckles]

I recognize some of this tech.

Oh, let me guess.

Flamekeeper was one of your customers?

Who is this?

They, uh, call her Bekka Pramheda.

She was the first Commander.

Becca.

Come on. Don't tell me you actually believe in this religious crap.

Oh...

[Chuckles]

Are you sure no one will come in?

Does it seem like I'm sure?

[Beep]

Everyone finish what you're doing.

Meet me at the armory.

Why? What's going on?

Bellamy, on radio: You'll see when you get here.

We just got lucky.

On our way.

Wait. Leave A.L.I.E. 2.

Why?

I think I know how to activate it.

Without a Nightblood?

This section here codes for activation using a spoken passphrase.

You can read that?

Sinclair: That's... no. How?

None of our systems are in this language, and you're a lousy coder.

Here.

What phrase?

It's doesn't say. It could be anything.

It was in Lexa, right? She would've known it.

Lexa didn't even know she was an A.I.

She wasn't an A.I.

Her mind was just enhanced by one.

I'm guessing the reason she didn't know was because the program degraded over time.

Parts of it got lost.

Think, Clarke.

It might have been a phrase that meant something to Lexa, words she said over and over again.

"Blood must have blood."

"Jus drein jus daun."

"Seek higher things."

Wait.

Becca's book is full of Latin phrases.

I take it A.L.I.E. didn't leave Latin behind in your brain.

I studied some Latin.

"Seek higher things."

"Altiora... petimus."

No. Go for less literal translation.

"Ascende... superius."

[Zap]

[Zap]

Clarke: What happened?

Ascende superius.

Huh.

Oh, hey, no.

It's like it sensed your mind.

When someone without the blood takes the Flame, the Flame takes their life.

Ok. There must be another way to access the code, then.

There's not.

Until we find it a host, we won't know how to stop A.L.I.E..

Then let's find it a host.

Come on. Bellamy's waiting, and so's Luna.

Ok. We'll catch up.

So what else do you know that no one ever taught you?

Clarke: Once we find Luna, this will all be over.

Ontari'll be exposed as a fraud, and the A.I. will tell us how to shut down A.L.I.E.

If we shut down A.L.I.E., what happens to the City of Light?

Your mom will come back like Raven did.

What about mine?

[Music box playing "Rock-a-bye Baby"]

Someone's here.

Following the creepy music is a bad idea.

Or we can follow the creepy music.

[Music box continues]

[Music box slowing down]

[Music box stops]

"Aaron."

Monty: I don't like this. We should go.

Clarke: Gas. Run!

[Coughs]

[Coughing]

[Gasps]

[Gasps]

[Gasping]

[Clarke coughing]

Clarke...

Bellamy...

Clarke, oh, what is it?

What's going on?

Emerson.

[Panting]

Emori, you got to leave Polis, all right?

Oh...

Hey, it's not safe for you here.

I can look after myself.

[Sighs]

Now, how the hell did you pull this off?

Well, you know me.

Just doing what I can to stay alive, right?

You're cute when you're modest.

I'm being serious, though.

Ontari, she's crazy, and that's coming from me.

The only reason why I'm still breathing, she thinks I know how to make her the Commander.

I thought she was the Commander.

Not technically. No.

To be the Commander, you have to shove a computer chip into your brain.

These fools think it's reincarnation.

Why would you think you could do this?

Because I saw it come out of the last Commander.

Don't ask.

So what do you do for her now?

She's taken a liking to me.

[Sighs]

Who could blame her?

[Thumps on door]

Go.

What?

Heda requires your presence, Flamekeeper.

Of course she does. Thank you.

[Door closes]

So important.

I got to go.

Stay here, ok? You'll be safe.

[Door opens and closes]

Where's Monty?

Emerson took him.

Why?

Octavia, can you hear me? Come in.

Jasper was with her.

Jasper, are you there? Say something.

[Static]

Miller, Harper, Bryan.

This is all my fault.

I let Emerson live.

What are you talking about?

In Polis, I had a chance to k*ll him, and I let him go.

Raven, on radio: Bellamy, what's wrong?

Raven, are you ok? Where are you?

Still in Engineering. We're fine.

Clarke, on radio: Raven, listen to me.

Emerson is here. Are the others with you?

Raven, on radio: Negative. Just Sinclair.

Mount Weather Emerson?

Clarke, on radio: Yes. Ok. Lock down the hangar bay.

Don't let anyone in but us.

Ok.

Stay here. I'll lock the doors.

Is this guy Emerson chipped?

He wasn't as of yesterday.

[Beep beep]

He wants revenge.

Raven...

Shh shh shh.

He's here. He's inside the hangar bay.

Oh!

Raven, I'm coming.

Open the hangar door!

He cut the power, so do it manually.

Raven!

Raven!

The outer door.

Raven, get back in the rover! Lock the door!

[Sinclair coughing]

No.

Sinclair: No, no, no, no. Please stay in the rover.

[Coughs]

Stay in the rover, please.

Stay in the rover.

Stay... stay in the rover.

Stay... stay in the rover.

Stay in the rover.

I'm gonna get you out of here.

No. Uh... it's ok.

Shh shh shh shh.

It's ok. It's ok. Stay in the rover.

Stay in the rover.

Shh shh shh shh.

Just go back, please.

Please go back. Go back.

I'm gonna get you out of here.

No, no. Stay... stay in the rover.

Stay in the rover. Stay in the rover.

Stay...

Stay...

Bellamy: Raven. Sinclair.

Raven. After me.

Sinclair.

We're too late.

No, we're not.

He didn't k*ll Monty or Raven.

He would have left their bodies.

He took them somewhere.

If you're right, Octavia and the others are there, too.

Where would he be taking them?

They could be anywhere.

Does he even know his way around?

He was here.

You were in Mount Weather.

The airlock.

Emerson, I know you're listening.

We need to talk.

I don't need to do anything.

You should've k*lled me when you had the chance.

And now you're here to k*ll me. Is that it?

Something like that.

Then let my friends go.

Do that, and you can have me.

You're brave, Clarke.

Clarke...

I'll give you that.

I know what I'm doing.

They're lucky to have a friend like you.

Come to the airlock, no weapons, right now.

[Beep]

Here.

What the hell are you doing?

Saving them. Look.

When it's over, take this to Luna.

Raven'll know what to do with it.

Promise me.

No.

You're out of your mind if you think I'm letting you do this alone.

Bellamy, this is my fault.

I'm not letting anyone else die for my mistake, ok? So take it.

You through?

I don't know what happened between you and Emerson in Polis, but I do know that letting him k*ll you here today is a stupid plan.

You got a better one?

Distract him. I sh**t him.

[Footsteps departing]

Murphy: Commander's decision is final.

Thank you.

Thank you, Heda.

You're next. Come on.

Step forward.

Only to give you what you need.

You son of a bitch.

Hello, John.

You've done well for yourself, I see.

Who is this?

Your Flamekeeper and I are old friends.

Friends.

You know, I don't know what you're doing here, Jaha, but if I were you, I'd leave while I still can.

You don't have to be a false Commander.

[Door closes]

How do you know that?

You told me...

He's lying.

Obviously, you should k*ll him right now for insulting you.

Just as you told me you would be unable to perform the Ascension Ritual, even if you had the Flame.

It was you?

You took the chip.

Ontari: This is the girl from the market.

You acted as if you didn't know her.

I'm his lover.

Really?

Ontari, listen to me.

You cannot trust these people.

Seems the only person I can't trust is you.

I told you what would happen if you betrayed me.

You k*ll him, I won't help you.

Why?

He's a fraud, but he does have knowledge that could be useful to all of us.

Trust me.

Ontari, listen to me, ok?

Nothing this man says is the truth, ok?

You can't believe... let go of me.

Jaha! Listen to me.

Ontari, you can't believe anything...

Don't take anything...

No! No!

You're ruling without the wisdom of the Commander's spirit.

Your people will soon figure that out.

I can offer you something even more powerful than the Flame... true legacy of Bekka Pramheda, all power, all wisdom contained in one simple key.

All you have to do is swallow it.

I held up my part of the deal.

Your turn.

Let my friends go.

Tell Bellamy to show himself first.

I don't know what you're talk...

Bellamy: No.

[Coughs]

Emerson: Good.

Now take out the clip. Throw it down the hall.

Put the g*n on the ground and get inside.

Clarke: Please. You wanted me.

I'll get inside once you let them go.

I was talking to Bellamy.

Bellamy: Ok, ok. Just... just stop.

Bellamy, don't.

[Whimpers]

[Whimpers]

Those are yours.

[Whimpers]

Get on your knees, Clarke.

Put your hands behind your head.

[Click]

No.

You can do anything you want with me, ok?

Just let them go.

You m*rder*d 381 people.

You took the lives of my children, my brother, my friends.

Did you really think that I would be happy with just one life in return, hmm?

[Gasping]

Voice, on P.A.: Airlock 5, oxygen venting.

Airlock 5, oxygen venting.

[Gasping]

Now you're gonna feel what I felt.

[All gasping]

Beg me to stop it.

I told you to beg!

I'm begging you.

Louder!

Please!

Bellamy...

[Gasping continues]

Aaron wouldn't want you to do this.

You don't say his name!

No!

[Gasping]

No... not yet.

[Panting]

[Both panting]

[Gasping]

First, you'll watch them die.

[Gasping]

You have any last words for your friends?

Yeah.

Ascende superius.

[Zap]

What... no.

[Gurgling]

[Gurgling continues]

[All gasping]

[Sobs]

No.

[Sniffles]

[Wailing]

[Octavia sniffles]

[Sobs]

[Sniffles]

May we meet again.

All: Yu gonplei ste odon.

[Sighs]

Yu gonplei ste odon.

It's time to go. I'll get the map.

Bellamy: Hey, we're leaving. Why aren't you ready?

Raven: We're not going with you.

Clarke: Raven...

He can barely walk, and my shoulder's k*lling me.

My brain's all kinds of awesome.

She remembered that A.L.I.E. downloaded herself into the Ark mainframe.

If the code is still there, we might be able to find a back door.

Raven: I'm guessing once you connect A.L.I.E. 2 to Luna, we'll need to access A.L.I.E. 1 to take her down.

Miller.

We'll keep them safe.

I'll keep them safe.

How about you? It's gonna be dangerous.

You know me well. I'm in.

Ok.

[Engine starts]

The gates to Polis are open.

A.L.I.E.: Thank you, Emori.

It's time to fill the City of Light.
