♪

Two years ago, the
CRM's modeling revealed

that the Alliance would
soon become a drain

on the Civic Republic's resources.

Omaha, the Campus Colony, Portland...

had become too reliant.

They'd never be fully self-sustaining.

So, it was only a matter of time

before thousands faced a famine
of devastating proportions.

At best, those thousands
would have d*ed slowly.

At worst, disease and conflict

would have spread through the
Civic Republic itself, and then?

The light of the world...

extinguished forever.

Death wins.

We made the choice to spare them that

by ending it quickly for them

so that there could be a chance
for humanity to survive.

What we did to your home was mercy.

We made sure all assets were extracted,

including , children,

and the greatest minds were sent here

to contribute to scientific progress

under our protection.

People like Dr. Bennett,
and of course, you, Hope.

Those who d*ed became an
essential part of our study

to end reanimation.

Their legacy will be stopping the dead

from walking this world.

What gives you the right

to choose who lives and who dies?

You look at the world from
your limited perspectives

and you criticize the CRM,

when it is our work

that made your very existence possible.

You rant about injustice and unfairness

while you compromise
and possibly destroy

the hard-earned advances of
so many that came before you.

The CRM makes the hard
choices so you don't have to.

Well, take a look around

at your great plan at work.

All you're doing is stopping the march

towards scientific progress,

denying the world the path
to its rightful future.

he should call Huck,

not knowing if Dennis
is gonna live or die.

I'm sorry for what she did to you.

She thought she was helping the world.

Sometimes, helping hurts like hell.

That really is Silas's way of
saying, like, "She is your wife,

and, you know, maybe
I forgive her, too."

Hold fire.

Officer Carlucci has
a g*n on Mason Beale.

NEGRETE: The confrontation
at the guard gate,

that really is the culmination of
these two sides coming together,

ultimately leading to this standoff.

Let's chat, just us.

Our group wants to escape,

but the other thing they
want to know is, why?

And that's the one question we
really haven't answered this season.

Jadis, I don't think, necessarily
wants to give up this information,

but she's really been pushed
to this by this group.

You lied. You covered up a genocide.

This is the only world
you've ever known.

You're far too young to appreciate
all that has been lost.

NEGRETE: What she really
wants them to understand

is what's at stake here
if all this goes away.

That's what ultimately motivates Jadis

to come clean in that moment.

The light of the world...

extinguished forever.

Death wins.

I don't think she thinks

that she's gonna necessarily
change their minds,

but she feels at least motivated
to try to make them understand

she's doing all of this for a reason.

But also, as we find
out, it's also to stall

because there is a sn*per
moving into place.
