07x11 - "Gravity"

[bunniefuu]

Keep dreaming bout.. A better world.

You keep wishing for some glory. Always hoping.

Know it's going to save you from this gravity.

You're holding out for some romantic.

Nice enough to be.

But in time you'll find.

When you don't know where to turn to.

And you sure all hope is gone. When the day you waited.

Coming dark will yield to don't trust.

Rough.

.

I would die.

Without.

. With zero reservations I want.

Keep our dream alive.

Provide shelter in the fields.

Ten.

Some will survive. Episode.

Seven for you, no matter how.

Heartless. I.

Destroyed.

By up, do you?

Oh.

Oh.

It's.

Keep your head. Trust me to be strong.

You never appreciated my genius, James. You

just stood atop it and called yourself a giant.

I gave you.. Everything you could have wanted.

You chose that fat imbecile over me.

Yeah. Oh.

I suppose in this instance, my brains

and your brawn are evenly matched.

You're smart, but you're not the only one who can count.

Oh I know.

Oh.

No, that was a little too close for my liking. James.

Rebuilding those rings is going to be such a pain.

Now, if you'll excuse me.

I wouldn't do that if I were you.

I mean, unless you're hoping to add

more metal to that body of yours.

All right. Now, where did they put the.

You. You. Huh? What?

You've.

I will sacrifice.

Whatever it takes. To stop her. Oh.

Oh, I hope you do, James. I hope you two.

Tyrion. Carlos, you're under arrest.

Ha ha.

Ha ha ha. Yeah.

That's.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Ha ha ha.

Where's that smile now. Huh? This is Clover. Requesting prisoner transport.

We have Terry and Carlos in custody.

All students are to remain indoors until further notice.

Faculty and upperclassmen can provide Schnee. Yes, sir.

Was anyone caught trying to enter the

school grounds while I was away?

Mm, no. Are you sure? Still afraid, I see.

Now show me where you've been hiding her.

Affirmative.

I don't understand. Why would the general

call us back without giving a reason?

Especially with evacuations still going on in mantle.

You don't have to understand orders, kids.

You just have to follow them.

Savvy transports won't be stopping any time soon.

The general says he needs us now. He needs us now.

You all get to the general and find out what's happening.

We'll bring Oscar and see you soon.

General. Ironwood.

We have made a critical error.

The black Queen was the symbol Salem

showed us before he lost everything.

Her way of telling us she was inside.

That it was too late. We stopped Watts,

we stopped Carlos. But someone was here.

They put this in my office to tell me that.

What if Manuel was just a distraction?

What if it was just to draw

us away from the Academy to do, sir?

It's going to be okay. We've got mantle on our side now. And how do we know that..

Wasn't part of their plan? How do we know

they didn't want us to bring people in Atlas by the thousands.

In trying to save everyone, we left ourselves most vulnerable.

Salem has been one step ahead of us this entire time.

It's glass.

Black glass. This was Cynder. She's alive and she's here.

If cinders here, then for all we

know, Hazel is here too, sir.

This isn't over yet. We're with you.

Are you with me?

Sir.

How did Robin know about the Global Communications project?

We told her. The night of the ambush. You did what?

We were trying to help.. By going behind our backs. Wait.

Does that mean you let her escape?

Robin is on our side. She always has been.

We didn't know that for sure. None

of this matters right now. Loyalty always matters.

General. Ironwood.

The brave huntsmen and Huntresses bested Arthur was. Congratulations.

We stopped Tyrion too, and we'll stop

cinder and anyone else you try to send here.

Dear girl. Their goal was never victory.

It was merely to set the stage. For what?

For me.

Time isn't on your side, James. It's always been on mine.

The people of Atlas have suffered enough.

Surrender the staff and the lamp to me,

and they needn't suffer any further.

That's. Not going to happen.

Simply accept the futility of your situation.

And this can all be over.

We've seen what you're capable of. The lamp showed us.

It showed us everything.

We've seen that you can't be k*lled,

but we've also seen you fail.

We don't have to k*ll you to stop you. And we will stop you.

Your mother. Said those words to me.

My mother.

She was wrong to.

That's Salem. That's who we're up against.

And she's apparently on her way. But we'd

be alerted if any forces had approached the kingdom.

We have long range proximity alarms all

along the coast, and they're offline.

With all of the chaos we didn't notice.

Watts must have shut them down.

. Or they've already been destroyed.

But. All of them.

You said in your

speech that Amity Tower was ready to launch. Was that true?

No. You just said that to lure out what's.

General. Ironwood.

I've sent your sister to claim

the power of the Winter maiden.

What? When I realized we'd been compromised.

I knew we couldn't wait any longer.

The staff in the lab have to be locked away.

I thought. You said we could keep it. Well.

That was before you lied to me about the lamp.

Before you lie to us about Robin.

Before Salem was right on our doorstep,

before mantle was nearly destroyed and myself

and my army were left exhausted.

The timeline has changed and so we must change accordingly.

What are our orders, sir? We are going

to take our plan for Amity Tower

and apply it to the city of Atlas.

What? It was Oz's plan in a former life,

but he didn't take it far enough.

If we harness the power of the staff

and raise ourselves high into the atmosphere,

the city's artificial climate will keep citizens and food supplies unharmed.

Always out of reach of whatever Salem

may try to send our way.

But we're nowhere near finished evacuating everyone.

You'd be leaving mantle to die. Yes I would.

We can't allow Salem to capture the relics.

This is our best chance at getting the staff,

the lamp, and the maiden as far away from her as possible.

But we have an opportunity to reunite the world.

If we launch the tower, we can all work together again.

We could even call for help if we can hold out long enough.

Sometimes doing the right thing means making tough decisions.

You're right. And I think the right

thing to do would be to stand our ground.

Me too. Me too. Me too.

We ran ourselves ragged trying to save mantle. Tonight

we try that again against an even larger force.

But your huntsmen and huntresses, you can't

just back down from a fight.

You can't focus on one single fight

while trying to win a w*r.

What's the council going to say? Nothing. Once I declare martial law.

Oh, what about Robin? Who exactly are you loyal to?

We're loyal to the people counting on us to save them.

We are saving who we can.

And you're standing in our way.

It's John. We have got a serious problem.

It was declaring martial law and abandoning mantle.

Salem is coming, and he's going to

use the staff to move Atlas.

If we don't stop it. Marvel's going to be just.

I'm sorry it's come to this. But until

Atlas and the relics are safe, you are all under arrest.

We won't just let you take us.

I know.

Ruby, are you there? Ruby, did you tell them?

Where are you?
