- I'll take her.

Come now.

(gentle piano music)

(voices mumbling)
(clinking)

(gentle piano music)

(clears throat)

You're to make sure the laundry is folded,

the dishes are spotless

and the floors are clean
enough to eat off of.

- Food?

(laughing)

(gentle piano music)

Now hurry and get to your chores.

The floor looks filthy.

(laughing)

(doors closing)

(somber music)

(girls laughing)

(brush scraping floor)

- Wow.

- [Step Sister] You missed a spot.

(Step Sisters laugh)

(exploding)

(zapping)
(grunting)

- Now that wasn't very ladylike, was it?

I suggest you remember your place.

Say it.

(grunting)
(zapping)

- Without you, I am nothing.

- [Rhodes] Alright what gives?

Someone took my damn sword.

- [Step Sister] I apologize
for the inconvenience.

- [Step Sister] We'll help you look for it.

- [Rhodes] Now that's not yours, is it?

I'm not here to hurt you.

I've seen you around and

I think it's safe to say

you're not getting the
most fair treatment.

Yeah?

I can't really blame you
for what you're thinking.

- You don't know what I'm-

- But hurting them isn't going
to make your life any better.

You can run,

but you're gonna be running
for the rest of your life

or you could find
another way to handle it.

- [Cinder] Like you?

You can do whatever you want,

go wherever you want.

- Ah, how old are you?

- .

- And you want to be like us?

You want to be a Huntress?

Then we've got about seven years.

- For what?

- To train you for the Huntsman exam.

(gentle music)

(gentle music)

(gentle music)

Just a few more years

and you won't need your
guardian's permission.

You'll be free.

- Mom, come quick, we found something.

It's Cinder, she has a w*apon.

(clock ticking)

- Hello?

Anyone?

(crashing)

(clock ticking)

(sad music)

(bell tolling)

- You're right.

Without you I am nothing.

But because of you, I am everything.

(dramatic dark music)
(bell tolling)

- [Rhodes] Cinder.

- I won't have to run now.

- That's all you'll ever do.

(bell tolling)

(upbeat music)

(swords clinking)

(sizzling)

(upbeat music)

(g*nf*re blasting)

(upbeat music)
(swords clinking)

(sword clinking)

(snapping)

- You're awake.

I was so worried.

How are you feeling?

- You, you brought me back here.

We failed.

- Cinder, you were hurt.

I was just trying to help.

- [Mercury] I think she's had enough help.

Besides, she went against our queen.

I'd be careful who you back.

- Cinder's hunch was right.

If we'd had support
then maybe we would've-

- Would you stop trying
to protect her already?

She doesn't care about you.

- [Cinder] Both of you, get out.

I'll let you know when you're needed next.

- Yeah about that,

Salem's got other plans for me.

I'm not gonna be taking
orders from you anymore.

She wants everyone on the bridge.

Something big is about to happen.

(sighs)

(footsteps tapping)

- [Oz] I'd like to express again

that this is my burden to bear, not yours.

His grudge is with me.

- [Oscar] No, it'll be even worse.

He's holding back with me.

I can tell.

- [Oz] I understand, I do,

but you've done so much already.

The least I can do is give you a break

and try to get us out of here.

- We can't leave yet.

This is our chance.

- Hmm, maybe you've
taken one too many hits.

- Salem, she knows she can't take on

the whole world at once.

So she doesn't.

She has her followers work their way in

sabotaging us from the inside out.

Maybe we should do the same.

- [Oz] We certainly
are similar, you and I.

Maybe we have been presented
with an opportunity.

- Great.

- [Oz] Oscar, please.

- You don't need to fight this w*r, kid.

Tell me what I need and we can be done.

- Hello Hazel.

- Coward.

All this time, it could have been you,

but you let him suffer.

(grunting)

Now tell us how this damned lamp works.

The boy has suffered enough.

- Why do you follow her?

I know.

I know how you see me.

But her, look at what she does.

How is she the answer?

Why not stop her?

- Salem can't be stopped.

She's a force of nature.

I've seen it first hand.

But you, you send children to their deaths

for a cause that you know
has no victory, no end.

- Someone has to try.

Salem isn't a force of nature
because Salem can be fought

unless she brings the relics
together if that happens.

- [Salem] Ozma

You have wonderful timing

The show is about to begin.

(dark music)

We have good news.

Tyrian has heard from
our dear colleague Watts.

Although he remains in captivity,

it seems that he has worked with Ironwood

to gain some control

over the puppet masquerading
as the Winter Maiden.

I suppose he remains useful after all.

Speaking of which, Cinder,

(yelling)

you choose to disobey
my specific instructions

(yelling)

just to fail again.

And I've realized,

it's all my fault.

You've fought your whole life

unwaveringly for what you want

and here I am holding you back

instead of lifting you up.

You deserve so much more
than I've given you.

Go to Atlas, recover Watts.

He can lead you to the girl.

Whether you or my Hound get to her first,

you will finally have
the Winter Maiden's power

and I will have my staff.

- You'll only be helping
her bring about the end

for all of you.

(grunting)

- You're too late.

- [Elm] Did the hack just not work?

How do we even know we can trust Watts?

- [Vine] We have confirmed
visual of her leaving Amity.

She appeared to be malfunctioning.

- [Elm] This is why I
don't trust technology.

Now we're wasting our time
searching for broken junk.

- Enough!

You're Atlas elite, act like it.

- [Marrow] Um ma'am, we're picking
up an open comms broadcast.

- Play it.

- [Jaune] It's headed straight for Mantle.

I repeat, a large mass of Grimm

is headed straight for Mantle.

Please anyone.

- Great, you guys.

- Did you hear our message?

It's right there.

We need to hurry.

Where's Penny?

Are you serious right now?

There are people in danger.

There are people in danger because you kids are acting selfish and-

(ground rumbling)

(people yelling)
(crashing and breaking)

(dramatic music)

(alarm blaring)

(lasers blasting)

(dramatic music)

(crashing)

(dramatic music)

- It's time.

(ominous music)

(crashing)

(ominous music)
