LEXA: Ambassadors of the coalition,

today we honor our covenant.

The clan that stands against one of us

stands against us all.

(SPEAKING TRIGEDASLENG)

(CHAINS JANGLING)

Queen Nia of Azgeda has confessed

to the destruction of Mount Weather,

resulting in the death of 49 members of Skaikru.

Wanheda, what say you?

Skaikru demands justice.

(SPEAKING TRIGEDASLENG)

The punishment for your crime is death.

(AUDIENCE MURMURING)

Do you have anything to say in your defense?

I need no defense.

She does.

Today is judgment day.

I call for a vote of no confidence.

Take this Queen to meet her fate.

(SPEAKING TRIGEDASLENG)

Take them away, too!

Lexa, please, execute these traitors--

Let her make her move.

Commander, what is this?

This is a coup.

This is the law. Her law.

A unanimous vote of the ambassadors or death

are all that can remove a Commander from power.

It's not unanimous.

We don't recognize the legitimacy of Skaikru.

TITUS: We do.

Yesterday, Skaikru took the brand.

They are the 13th clan.

This vote of no confidence fails.

All these coup plotters will suffer

the exact same fate as the Ice Queen.

She won't take our heads

because she knows our armies will retaliate.

None of us here wants war.

We both know what you want, Nia.

If you think me unfit to command,

issue the challenge and let's get on with it.

Very well, you are challenged.

And I accept your challenge.

TITUS: So be it.

(SPEAKING TRIGEDASLENG)

Warrior against warrior. To the death.

Nia of Azgeda,

who do you choose to be your champion?

My son, Roan. Prince of Azgeda.

Heda, who'll fight for you?

(PEOPLE CHATTERING)

(RADIO STATIC)

KANE: Best we can tell,

Mount Weather was destroyed

by an internal self-destruct mechanism.

It worked as designed.

Forty-nine of our citizens were lost.

So when do we strike back?

We don't.

The Ice Nation took credit for the attack,

and the Commander will bring them to justice.

So now we are trusting Grounders to punish Grounders?

I'm sorry, Madam Chancellor,

but I lost more than half of my remaining people yesterday

and four times that many since we landed.

In my experience, Grounders understand one thing, strength.

It's simple, we need to hit them now.

We need to hit them hard. Leave no survivors--

There's nothing simple about this.

This attack by the Ice Nation was against Lexa, not us.

Are you saying this isn't our fight?

I'm saying we were collateral damage in someone else's war.

It's not someone else's war anymore.

Look, if we don't defend ourselves,

they will take what we have,

that's what they do.

Mark my words, the Grounders are coming for us.

We'll take it under advisement.

Meeting adjourned.

After the election tomorrow,

he's your problem.

-Sir. -Why aren't you at your post?

Don't do this.

Forty-nine of the people I swore to protect

died yesterday because I left.

That's not your fault, Bellamy.

Place the blame where it belongs.

On the Ice Nation.

The Ice Nation didn't tell Gina to stay there.

That was me.

Given the information you had at the time,

you made a reasonable choice.

You were trying to save lives.

But I didn't.

(SIGHS)

-MONTY: Jasper, Jasper-- -Get away from me!

Hey!

Jasper, what's wrong?

He's not going to the memorial.

It's a little late for a Mount Weather memorial,

don't you think?

MAN: (ON PA) All unstationed security personnel

report to the main gate.

OCTAVIA: What now?

MAN: (ON PA) All unstationed security personnel

report to the main gate.

(INDISTINCT CHATTER)

OCTAVIA: Nyko.

-(WOMAN GROANING) -Hey, she's hurt.

Leave them alone. They are sick!

OCTAVIA: Hey, hey, hey, that's enough!

Stop it!

The Chancellor told Nyko that we would help.

You're one of them, you take 'em in.

I got her. Come on.

I heard about Mount Weather.

I'm very sorry.

Jasper, they canceled lockdown, what are you doing?

(PANTING)

Go to your memorial, Monty.

-Maybe I will. -Maybe you should.

-Fine. -Good.

(LEXA SPEAKING TRIGEDASLENG)

Talk her out of it yet?

No, but maybe you can.

I don't understand, the queen's not fighting, why should she?

The queen's strength is not in doubt.

Thanks to you, Heda's is.

(LEXA SPEAKING TRIGEDASLENG)

Aden, stay.

Clarke, this is Aden.

Aden is the most promising of my novitiates.

If I should die today, he will likely succeed me.

Clarke worries about her people.

Tell her what will happen to them

when you become Heda, Aden.

If I become Heda,

I pledge my loyalty to the 13th clan.

Thank you. Now, go join the others.

See? Nothing to worry about.

I'm sorry if I'm worried the fate of my people

lies in the hands of a child.

Then you worry for nothing.

I've sent Indra to raise an army from the villages near Arkadia.

Your people are protected as I vowed they would be.

This is not just about my people.

You don't stand a chance against Roan.

-You've never seen me fight. -No!

But I saw him kill three men

in the time it took the first one to hit the ground.

If you're right,

today's the day my spirit will choose its successor

and you need to accept that.

Like hell I do.

(INDISTINCT CHATTER)

QUEEN NIA: Focus, Roan, you're here to practice.

Remember, anticipate her reflexes.

When you feel overconfident,

you forget that your enemy has strengths, too.

I don't need your help.

You're upset that I chose you.

But not surprised.

When you kill Lexa, your banishment will be over.

In the wake of your victory,

our people will be more powerful than ever.

That will be your legacy. And your legend.

Don't pretend you do anything for me, Mother.

You're right. Everything I do is for Azgeda.

But what's good for Azgeda is good for you.

My sword.

If you won't fight for your mother,

or your queen,

fight for your clan.

(SWORD SWISHES)

I want her head.

Is that death I hear stalking me?

Or just the Commander of Death.

-We need to talk. -We have nothing to talk about.

I need to prepare.

I know you had nothing to do with Mount Weather.

That's why I didn't tell Lexa you gave me the knife.

This is what your mother wanted all along.

What do you want? Spit it out.

I want you to become the king.

I know you've thought of it.

She was willing to let you die.

Willing to let you be banished.

I know you just wanna go home.

-When I win today, I will. -For how long?

How long until your mother finds another reason to cast you out?

To sacrifice you?

No one can cast a king out of his kingdom.

I can't do it.

My people would never take me back.

(SIGHS)

But...

I can help you do it.

PIKE: All that's certain is that we die.

How we die is up to us.

Who will speak for Iris Jones?

Iris was strong. Good with a knife.

She saved my life.

I'm just sorry I couldn't do the same for her.

We will miss Iris.

PIKE: May we meet again. ALL: May we meet again.

PIKE: Who will speak for Gina Martin?

Gina was real.

She always saw the light, even here.

She deserved better.

-May we meet again. -(DOOR OPENS)

(AUDIENCE MURMURING)

I just saw 'em. Whole encampment. Three hundred strong.

Just behind the tree ridge. It's a bunch of 'em. It's Grounders.

They're coming.

(WHISPERS) The Grounders are here. An army. Three hundred strong.

Camped less than a mile from here.

We know.

-What? -Indra radioed.

You gave a Grounder one of our radios?

(AUDIENCE CLAMORING)

HANNAH: Sir, are we under attack?

No, we are not under attack.

Their commander sent a peacekeeping force.

To ensure that we can defend against

any further attacks from the Ice Nation.

Peacekeeping force?

Even you can't be that naïve, Marcus.

Watch your tone. You're talking to the next Chancellor.

We're all grieving.

This has been hard on all of us.

But we can't let anger drive our policy.

Anger is our policy.

If they're here to defend us, as you say,

then tell them to go home.

-We can defend ourselves! -Yeah!

You.

-You don't belong here. -MAN: He's one of them.

My boy is dead!

-(THUD) -(GROANS)

(CLAMORING)

-Back off. -KANE: Arrest them.

Stop!

(WHISTLE BLOWS)

-Hey! -Break it up.

We do not attack our own!

Fighting each other only makes us weak.

The enemy is not in this camp. The enemy is out there.

Lincoln, are you okay?

I'm fine.

Lincoln, you need to go to medical.

(PANTING)

(GROANS)

-(GRUNTING) -(BANGING)

(SIGHS)

(SPEAKING TRIGEDASLENG)

(SNIFFLES)

What the hell are we doing here, Jasper?

Visiting old friends.

-I think you've had enough. -You have no idea.

Time to give some back.

(UNZIPS)

Tell me this isn't what I...

No.

No charges.

Lincoln, we need to set an example.

Yeah, we do.

The man just lost his son, Marcus.

Lincoln didn't do that.

-What happened? -I said no charges.

Thank you.

He'll be fine.

-Was it Farm Station? -It doesn't matter.

Look, Indra's army is outside the wall.

And Lexa lifted the kill order on you at the summit,

maybe she'll take us back.

We can get out of here.

The only way they're ever going to see us

as different from Azgeda, is if I stay.

ABBY: Lincoln.

You okay to translate? Nyko's got his hands full.

It'll pass.

(GUARD SPEAKING TRIGEDASLENG)

To what do I owe the pleasure?

What if I changed my vote?

Now you're thinking like a leader of your people.

I would need some assurances first.

-Skaikru will be safe. -And me?

My quarrel is with Lexa, not you.

Once she's gone, I won't need the power of Wanheda.

-Okay. -Okay?

You don't want vengeance for the dead at Mount Weather?

My priority is with the living, not the dead.

(SPEAKING TRIGEDASLENG)

(GROANS)

I see you've learned our oath.

Do you accept?

(SPEAKING TRIGEDASLENG)

(CLARKE GASPS)

-(ONTARI GRUNTS) -(THUDS)

(CLARKE STRUGGLING)

(SNIFFS)

(SPEAKING TRIGEDASLENG)

We could have been allies, Clarke.

But instead, I declare you and your people enemies of Azgeda.

Ontari, hold out your hand.

I'm letting you live, for now,

to send a message to Lexa.

I have my own Natblida.

(PANTING)

And she will be the next Commander.

A Commander from the Ice Nation.

Now all of Nia's provocations make sense.

And we played right into it.

She knew you'd accept her challenge.

I've never seen blood that color before.

It goes back to the first Commander.

When a Nightblood child is found,

they're brought here to be trained,

or are supposed to be.

Your legacy is no longer secure.

There is still time to choose a champion.

You know I can't do that.

-Heda-- -LEXA: Leave us.

Titus is right.

You're giving her exactly what she wants.

Only if I lose.

I know you're just trying to help, Clarke,

but there's nothing you can do here.

I can't just let Roan kill you.

If that is to be my fate, you must.

You're driven to fix everything for everyone,

but you can't fix this.

I have to do this on my own and you have to let me.

I won't just sit there and watch you die.

Heda.

(SPEAKING TRIGEDASLENG)

Then, this is goodbye.

For now.

GUARD 1: Eyes up on them.

GUARD 2: Make sure we're secure.

PIKE: Let's talk about Mount Weather.

I know you think it was your fault.

Is that why you resigned?

You're right. It was your fault.

Mine, too.

Every life we honored at the memorial

was lost because we trusted a Grounder.

I talked you into it.

I knew her and I vouched for her.

No, you don't get to own this one alone.

I knew what they were capable of.

When I let my guard down one day,

and 35 of my people died.

Never again.

Never again.

Kane's a good man, I know you're close to him.

But he doesn't believe that we're fighting a war.

He thinks Grounders can police Grounders.

And now, they're in the woods outside our home,

with a peacekeeping force?

-What would you do? -What I wouldn't do

is wait for them to hit us.

My scouts tell me that they've got 300 soldiers

and not a single gun between them.

Ten highly motivated men

with automatic rifles is all it would take.

I've got the men.

You're asking me to get you the guns?

-That's treason. -That's survival.

The Grounders out there

will attack this camp, and our leaders do nothing.

Right now, we have the element of surprise. We wait, we die!

Now, if they wanna call it treason,

I'm willing to suffer the consequences to save our people.

Are you?

It's time.

You need to step aside, right now.

What are the guns for?

There's an army out there.

We need to hit them before they hit us.

That army was sent to protect us.

-Do we have a problem? -No.

I have always done what is best for us.

I need you to trust that I am doing that now.

Monroe.

Harper.

Sorry, Lincoln.

You, too, Lincoln.

You wanna prove you're one of us,

let us pass.

I'm not moving.

Get outta the way, Grounder.

-Guns down. Guns down! -Do what he says. Now.

-So much for the good Grounder. -Quiet, Hannah.

Whose people are you defending here, Lincoln?

Lincoln, put down the knife. No one has to get hurt here.

-I can't let you start a war. -We're already at war.

You can't stop this.

MAN: (ON PA) All unstationed security personnel

report to the main gate.

All unstationed security personnel

report to the main gate now.

What's wrong with you?

Calm down, people. Farm Station.

Guns on the ground. On the ground.

Lincoln, it's all right. Let him go.

What the hell do you think you're doing?

What you didn't have the guts to.

Did you arm these people?

Guards, take them to lockup. Now.

Everybody, back to your quarters.

It's over.

Nothing is over.

We are surrounded by warriors who want us dead.

-That's enough! -No, it isn't. Not even close.

Why don't you show us all

what you let the Grounders do to you yesterday?

Come on, Kane.

I think that the people who are about to vote for you

have a right to know.

-Show us, Kane. -Yeah.

It's the mark of the Commander's coalition.

It means we are the 13th clan.

It means we are in this fight together.

No.

It's what farmers used to do to their livestock.

Right before the slaughterhouse.

-Pike for Chancellor. -He's right.

Sir, you should be on the ballot tomorrow.

-Yeah, we're with you, Pike. -I vote for Pike.

-That's enough. -Pike for Chancellor.

Take him away.

(CHANTING) Pike! Pike! Pike!

ALL: (CHANTING) Pike! Pike! Pike! Pike! Pike!

Pike! Pike! Pike! Pike! Pike! Pike!

Pike! Pike! Pike! Pike! Pike!

(JASPER SIGHS)

(GROANS)

What the hell were you thinking?

Home sweet home.

Does Abby know you took these?

Uh...

Since I stole them, probably not.

It's memorial day, right?

Let's, uh, scatter him with the others.

Finn's ashes aren't yours to scatter.

What about Raven?

Besides, if Abby still has them,

it means she's saving them for Clarke.

Who cares who it hurts, right?

Yeah, whatever Jasper wants, and screw the rest of us.

No, no. Screw Clarke.

You are both

mass murderers as far as I'm concerned.

I get why she did it.

And why Bellamy helped her, but you...

Maya was your friend. She was my...

How is it that you can wipe out an entire civilization,

yet I'm the one that can't sleep at night.

-How can you just be fine? -I'm not fine.

Just because I'm not

drinking myself into a stupor every night,

doesn't mean I'm not screwed up.

But we had no other choice.

(JASPER LAUGHING)

You hear that, Finn?

He thinks he's innocent. None of us is innocent.

Float you!

For three months,

I've watched you torture yourself

and everyone around you, mostly me.

But I'm done being your punching bag.

Either you pull yourself together

and get on with your life.

Or you fall apart alone.

Are you done?

I miss my best friend.

He died that day, too.

You're leaving?

See you on the other side.

(PANTING)

Oh...

(SOBBING)

(KNOCKING)

-Is this "I told you so"? -No. This is "Thank you."

Come in.

Sit down. Let me change that for you.

That girl that was with Nia, Ontari.

What will happen to her?

She won't be back until the Conclave after my death.

Do you ever talk about anything other than your death?

Thank you for backing me.

I was just doing what was right for my people.

Your ambassadors betrayed you. How do you move forward?

They were doing what they believed was right

for their people, too.

(SPEAKING TRIGEDASLENG)

Good night, Ambassador.

(BEEPING)

Congratulations, Mr. Chancellor.

-Where's Abby? -Wishes she could be here.

The vote wasn't close.

Our people are now your responsibility, Charles.

I hope you take that seriously.

Thank you, Marcus. I certainly intend to.

For my first official action as Chancellor,

I pardon myself and the others.

For my second official action,

I reject the brand that made us the 13th clan.

For my third,

let's finish what we started.

MAN 1: Yes, sir.

MAN 2: All right.

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

I already have.
