Sp.	Dialogue
Clarke	I was born in space. I've never felt the sun on my face or breathed real air or floated in the water. None of us have. For three generations, the Ark has kept what's left of the human race alive, but now our home is dying, and we are the last hope of mankind. Each of us is here because we broke the law. On the ground, there is no law. All we have to do is survive, but we will be tested. By the Earth, by the secrets it holds, and most of all by each other.
Clarke	Previously on the 100
Raven	Ark Station, please come in. We need you.
Jaha	Are you saying there are survivors on the ground?
Clarke	Yes. The Earth is survivable.
Finn	The Grounder saved Octavia's life, and Bellamy brought him back here and tortured him.
Lincoln	My name is Lincoln.
Bellamy	Let's go. With the Grounder escaping, we should expect retaliation.
Jaha	We are going to the ground, but not all of us are. There are two thousand, two hundred and thirty-seven people on this Ark, and there are only enough dropships to carry seven hundred.
Scene 1 - The Camp
	(The Delinquents are on the ground listening to Jaha's Unity Day remarks.)
Jaha	My friends, this is a historic Unity Day. Every year, we mark the moment our ancestors of the twelve stations joined to form the Ark, but this is the last time we do so while aboard her. Next year, on the ground.
Miller	Right. After we did all the work. Someone shut him up.
Raven	You shut up, Miller. No one's forcing you to watch.
Jaha	For ninety-seven years, we have eked out an existence, hoping that someday our descendants would return to Earth.
Clarke	Don't tell me you don't like Unity Day.
Finn	Unity Day is a lie. The Ark only came together after the thirteenth station was blown out of the sky. Just not the version of history we like to tell each other at parties.
Clarke	The Unity Day story gives people hope, though, and peace came out of that violence.
Finn	Yeah, but did there need to be violence at all?
Jasper	Whoo! Yeah! Monty strikes again! Hey! Call this batch Unity Juice! Who's thirsty? Monty! There you go.
Monty	Hey. Save me some.
Jasper	Happy Unity Day. Pass it around.
Jaha	To our sons and daughters on Earth listening to this message, we will see you soon. The first Exodus ship will launch in under sixty hours, carrying you the reinforcements that you need, so stay strong. Help is on the way.
Scene 2 - The Ark
	(Unity Day Celebration aboard the Ark.)
Diana Sydney	Hello, Abby.
Abby	Diana.
Jaha	We have seen the true soul of our people.
Diana Sydney	I hope there are no hard feelings about me taking the Council seat.
Abby	No hard feelings about anything at all today.
Diana Sydney	That's right. You'll be able to see your daughter soon.
Jaha	But enough from me. You are all here for the pageant anyway, right?
Diana Sydney	He's cutting his remarks short.
Abby	What's that?
Diana Sydney	Oh, nothing. I helped him with his speech. He's leaving the best part out.
Jaha	Without further ado, I present the story of us.
Vera Kane	They tell me you'll be on the first Exodus ship.
Kane	Yes. I'm overseeing security on the ground.
Vera Kane	Will you take the tree down for me?
Kane	Mom, I have a job to do.
Vera Kane	Well, at least come to the departure ceremony. You could give the traveler's blessing. Think of it as a good-bye gift for your mother.
Kane	I don't remember it. Excuse me.
Girl	Long ago when the Earth was on fire, through space all alone. Then one day, Mir floated by Shenzhen, and they realized life would be better together. The other stations saw this, and they wanted to be together, too. When all the stations were formed, they called themselves-
	(Bomb goes off)
	[People screaming]
	[High-pitched alarm]
	[Muffled voices]
Girl	Daddy?
Abby	I'll go and find your daddy. Jaha, are you okay?
	[Screaming]
Abby	Get him to medical now!
Jaha	Kane! Find out who did this.
Kane	Mom, mom, mom.
Abby	We need triage supplies now!
	(Abby kneels before Kane and his mother but stands up knowing she can't be saved.)
Guard	Doctor Griffin, we need your help over here.
Kane	In peace, may you leave the shore. In love, may you find the next. Safe passage on your travels until our final journey to the ground. May we meet again.
	(Vera Kane dies.)
Jaha	Marcus. I'm so sorry. We need to get you out of here.
Guard	Sir. This was a coup. Councilors Cole, Kaplan, Muir, and Fuji are dead. If you hadn't cut your speech short-
Jaha	Where's Councilor Sydney?
Guard	She left before the blast.
Kane	I'll find her.
Jaha	You do that, and double the guard at the dropship. I'm putting the Ark on lockdown!
	(Broken electrical wire sparks, causing people to scream)
Jaha	We are not missing that launch window!
	(A guard races towards Diana Sydney and Cuyler Ridley.)
Guard	They suspect it was you. The way I see it, we got two choices. Stay and fight, in which case maybe we win if we can get enough workers to join us.
Cuyler Ridley	And if we don't, what's the second choice?
Diana Sydney	Take the Exodus ship now.
Guard	It's not ready.
Diana Sydney	Can our engineers get it ready?
Cuyler Ridley	To charge the batteries on a ship that size without causing a disruption to The Ark takes time.
Guard	Then cause disruptions.
Cuyler Ridley	It'll get cold. With the lockdown, even if they find a way to isolate the lesser populated stations, people will die.
Guard	So there's casualties either way.
Diana Sydney	Take the Exodus ship. We should have built a bigger bomb.
Scene 3 - The Camp
Clarke	Hey. The comms are still dead. They cut out during the pageant.
Bellamy	Best Unity Day ever.
Clarke	Do you really think now is a good time to be having a party? I mean, the Grounder is out there.
Bellamy	Grounders. By now, he's made it home. He's probably putting together a lynch mob. Relax. I got security covered. Why don't you go get a drink? You look like you could use one.
Clarke	I could use more than one.
Bellamy	Then have more than one. Clarke, the Exodus ship carrying your mother comes down here in two days. After that, the party's over. Have some fun while you still can. You deserve it.
Clarke	Yeah. Okay. So do you by the way.
Bellamy	I'll have my fun when the Grounders come.
Clarke	All right.
Bellamy	Unity Day.
	(Raven is making bullets in a tent.)
Finn	Making bullets on Unity Day.
Raven	The Grounders don't know it's Unity Day.
Finn	How did Bellamy get you to help?
Raven	I volunteered. We have to be ready to fight, right?
Finn	Or we could try talking to them.
Raven	They seem to prefer stabbing. Violence is the only thing those people understand.
Finn	You know, they could say the same thing about us. If we keep going on this way, we'll never stop digging graves.
Raven	You didn't see him, Finn. It didn't matter what we did to him. He was ready to let you die.
Finn	He was protecting himself.
Raven	Why are you defending him?
Finn	Never mind. Hope you know what you're doing.
Raven	I know what I'm doing.
Scene 4 - Lincoln's Cave
	(Octavia sneaks up on Lincoln with knives in her hands. Lincoln whips around and grabs her wrists at the last second.)
Octavia	Better?
Lincoln	We'll make a warrior out of you yet.
	(They have sex.)
Octavia	Finn?! Lincoln, wait, wait! He's my friend.
Finn	I think you lost this.
Octavia	So, what the hell are you doing here?
Finn	I could ask you the same thing. I could also ask how long you've known he speaks English, but I won't. (shows Lincoln his horn.) You blew this when your people were hunting us. You saved our lives. I have to believe there's more like you.
Lincoln	I stabbed you.
Finn	And we tortured you. If the two of us can get along, then maybe there's hope. Learn from history instead of repeating it, right?
Octavia	How's that gonna happen?
Finn	For starters, no more killing.
Lincoln	I don't have the power to call a truce.
Finn	Then bring me to someone who does. Hey, look. The rest of our people are coming down here. The first ship lands in two days.
Octavia	It's true.
Finn	And because of the attacks, they're sending mostly soldiers, the people that enforce our laws. The Ark is about survival at any cost, and they'll kill people who fall out of line. When those people get down here if they feel threatened, they will start a war, and I don't want that. Neither do you, and I think that's why you blew that horn. Once the soldiers get here, it will be too late, and we'll have no power to stop them, but if they see that we're at peace, then maybe we have a chance to stay that way.
Lincoln	All right. You bring your leader, I'll bring mine.
Octavia	What, Bellamy? He'll never go for this.
Lincoln	No. Not your brother.
Finn	Clarke.
Scene 5 - The Ark
Guard 1	Check.
Diana Sydney	Make sure everything's cleared out.
Guard 2	All right. It's clear back here. Sir, the dropship's clear. We did a full security sweep.
Guard 1	Okay, boys and girls. Play time's over. Back to work. Let's get this ship ready to launch.
Abby	I should be in medical, not packing first-aid supplies.
Kane	The injured have been taken care of, and we can do nothing for the dead.
Abby	Marcus. I'm sorry. Vera was an amazing spirit.
	(She gives his shoulder a squeeze.)
Diana Sydney	This launch should be delayed at least until you've questioned the terrorist that set that bomb. I put word out to my people and just heard back. His name is Cuyler Ridley. He's a mechanic who lost his wife in the culling.
Kane	Yeah. I recognize him.
Abby	So what makes you think he did it?
Diana Sydney	He turned himself in.
	(Abby gives Diana a suspicious look and exchanges a glance with Kane.)
Kane	Where have you been, Diana? Why did you leave the pageant early?
Diana Sydney	Well, thank God I did, or I'd be dead right now. I guess we're both lucky.
Kane	Stay where we can find you.
Diana Sydney	Where am I gonna go, Kane? Be careful. Ridley's dangerous.
Scene 6 - The Camp
	(A table with Delinquents around it flipping metal parts into cups.)
Clarke	You're not gonna get this one.
Fox	Yes I am.
Clarke	No. It's not happening.
	(Fox gets it in and group cheers.)
Fox	Whoo! All right.
Deliquent	What do you know? Her highness can actually party. I like it.
Clarke	So, what are you gonna do when the guard come down and commandeer Monty's still?
Delinquent	Build another.
Clarke	All right. You ready? (tries to balance metal piece on nose) Oh. No. Wait. I have done this before, I promise. What is it?
Finn	Let's take a walk.
Clarke	Sorry. Did something happen?
Finn	I need you to come with me, but I can't tell you why okay?
Clarke	Finn, tell me why. (Finn tries to pull her away from the crowd.) Hey. Don't.
Finn	I set up a meeting with the Grounders.
Clarke	A meeting? I don't understand. With who? How?
Finn	I was just with the Grounder that we had in the dropship. His name is Lincoln.
Clarke	Wait a second. He spoke to you?
Finn	It's not important.
Clarke	If we want to live in peace Finn, we can't live in peace with people who've done nothing but kill us.
Finn	Can you think of a better way to stop the bloodshed?
Clarke	Yeah. With the guns that the guard bring down.
Finn	You really want a war? Because at this rate, that's what's coming. Look. I know it's a long shot, but this is our world now, and I think we can do better than the first time around. I trust him.
Clarke	I don't. But if we go, we have to bring backup.
Finn	No way. We're not bringing guns. Those weren't the terms, and if we're gonna do this, we got to give it a fair shot.
Clarke	Okay. Okay. I'll- I'll get my pack, and I'll meet you at the gate.
Finn	Okay.
Clarke	Hey. I need to talk to you.
Bellamy	Having fun yet, princess?
Clarke	I'm serious.
Bellamy	You always are, so talk.
Clarke	Finn's set up a meeting with the Grounders. I'm leaving to go talk to them.
Bellamy	Because you think that impaling people on spears is code for "let's be friends"? Have you lost your damn mind?
Clarke	I think it might be worth a shot. I mean, we do have to live with these people.
Bellamy	They'll probably gut you, string you up as a warning.
Clarke	Well, that's why I'm here. I need you to follow us, be our backup.
Bellamy	Does Finn know about this?
Clarke	Finn doesn't need to know, and, Bellamy, bring guns.
	(Jasper enters the tent where Raven is making bullets.)
Jasper	Hey, hey! There you are! All right. Listen. We're playing drunk ball. I bet Monroe my team's gonna win the Unity Day title. That's for you. I know you Zero-G mechs have crazy hand-eye skills, so, huh? What do you think? Must be better than whatever you're doing.
Raven	I'm checking the gunpowder in these rounds so that if the Grounders try to kill us all maybe we can get a few shots off beforehand.
Jasper	Hmm. That's intense. Sure you know what you're doing?
Raven	Why does everyone keep asking me- (A round explodes)
Jasper	Oh, whoa!
Raven	Damn!
Jasper	You need now that, you know, you almost blew one off?
Raven	I got this.
Jasper	Hey. No one's a better mechanic, all right, but this stuff requires a chemist. How'd you do in chemistry class? Hmm. Ahh. Well, the fates are smiling upon you, my friend. I was great in chemistry. Hmm. (smells gunpowder from a bullet) Oh! Nope. (coughs) Oh, it's gassed off. Pretty sure the acidic smell means that the gunpowder's degraded.
Raven	Better start a dud pile.
Jasper	You know, when my parents get here, they can mix us up some new gunpowder. My dad's gonna flip for this scrap metal. "My kingdom for a soda can." Heh. That's what he always used to say. How about you? Got any family?
Raven	Nope. Just Finn.
Jasper	Well, we all got each other now, right?
Bellamy	Jasper, you're coming with me.
Jasper	I am?
Bellamy	You handled yourself well in the cave with the Grounder.
Jasper	I mean, I hit him in the head.
Raven	If you're planning on shooting anything, you better think twice. I haven't checked those yet.
Bellamy	Give me some bullets that work.
Raven	What do you need them for?
Bellamy	Your boyfriend's being an idiot.
Raven	I'm coming with you.
Bellamy	We should get Clarke.
Raven	Clarke's with Finn, isn't she?
Scene 7 - The Woods
	(Clarke and Finn walk through the woods together.)
Clarke	I'd love it if you were right about this, but did you ever consider it might be a trap?
Finn	Yep, but since it's Unity Day, I decided to have hope instead.
Clarke	Oh! Hey. Let me have a look at that. [looks at Finn's stab wound] [sighs] Seriously, Finn, you're putting a lot of faith in a guy who stuck a knife in you.
Finn	And you're sounding more and more like Bellamy.
Clarke	I'm just trying to keep us alive.
Finn	So am I. At least they're good for something.
	(Jasper, Bellamy, and Raven walk a distance behind Clarke and Finn with rifles.)
Jasper	Sorry for bringing up Clarke earlier. That was awkward.
Raven	Shut up.
Bellamy	Both of you shut up. Keep your eyes open.
Scene 8 - The Ark
	(Ridley is being interrogated.)
Kane	You were seen planting the bomb, Ridley. You killed six people.
Cuyler Ridley	Should have been seven. Jaha's lucky he cut his speech short.
Kane	I know you're upset about what happened at Section Seventeen.
Cuyler Ridley	I lost my wife. You're damn right I'm upset, but this is about more than the culling. Workers all over the Ark are tired of getting screwed. It's our kids you sent to die on Earth and who's on the first dropship? Not us. Over and over Jaha and the rest of you on the Council betray our trust. Today is your reckoning.
Kane	Tell me. Who helped you? I know you didn't act alone.
Cuyler Ridley	You don't know jack. You still think this is just about the Chancellor.
	(Guards step forward and shock people in the interrogation room using electric batons.)
Cuyler Ridley	There goes the power. That's our cue.
	(Guards notice Kane is still alive.)
Cuyler Ridley	Leave him. He's gonna die in here anyway.
Jaha	What's happened?
Sinclair	I'm not sure, but we've lost power to multiple stations. Farm, Hydra, Mecha. Now we can vent in breathable air, but the temperature in those stations is falling fast. People are gonna freeze to death.
Jaha	Lift the lock down and evacuate those stations. Where's Kane?
Sinclair	He's interrogating the bomber. Sir. Power's out in Prison station.
	(Jaha and the guards run to the interrogation room and find Kane inside, barely alive.)
Jaha	Marcus!
Kane	It's a mutiny. Diana Sydney. She's- She's diverting power.
Jaha	She's taking the Exodus ship.
	(Diana in the Exodus ship watching as guards scurry around preparing for launch. Guards point batons at workers.)
Red	Whoa, whoa, whoa! What the hell are you doing?
Guard	This is our ship now.
Guard 2	Chancellor on deck.
Diana Sydney	How many of our people are on board?
Guard	Less than fifty percent, ma'am. They're all upstairs on the passenger deck.
Diana Sydney	Tell me about the cargo.
Guard	Nearly all here.
Diana Sydney	Search all the decks. Throw anyone not loyal to us out of the service hatches and back into the Ark. Lieutenant, you may give the order.
Guard	Seal the doors, begin the launch protocol. We're t-minus five and counting.
	(Man runs out of the ship.)
Diana Sydney	Let him go! He's made his choice.
Cuyler Ridley	He'll warn Jaha.
Diana Sydney	That hardly matters now. This Exodus ship belongs to all of you. You're the future of the human race, and today, I'm going to lead you home.
Scene 9 - The Bridge
	(Clarke and Finn arrive at the meeting place.)
Clarke	So that's how you set this up. You helped him escape, didn't you?
Octavia	I trust him, Clarke.
Clarke	There's a lot of that going around.
Bellamy	Someone's coming.
Jasper	What's Octavia doing here?
	(Octavia and Lincoln hug.)
Jasper	Oh.
Raven	I guess we know how he got away.
Clarke	Wait. Look. Oh, my God. Horses!
Finn	Hey. (noticing the Grounders have weapons) We said no weapons.
Lincoln	I was told there wouldn't be.
Clarke	It's too late now.
	(Finn tries to go with Clarke towards Anya)
Lincoln	She goes alone.
Clarke	I'll be fine.
Finn	Clarke-
Clarke	Hey. It's time to do better.
Anya	Your name is Clarke?
Clarke	Yes.
Anya	I'm Anya.
Clarke	I think we got off to a rough start, but we want to find a way to live together in peace.
Anya	I understand. You started a war that you don't know how to end.
Clarke	What? No. We didn't start anything. You attacked us for no reason.
Anya	No reason? The missiles you launched burned a village to the ground.
Clarke	The flares? No. That was a signal meant for our families. We had no idea-
Anya	You're invaders. Your ship landed in our territory.
Clarke	We didn't know anyone was here. We thought the ground was uninhabited.
Anya	You knew we were here when you sent an armed raiding party to capture one of us and torture him. These are all acts of war.
Clarke	I see your point. That's why we need to put an end to all of this.
Scene 10 - The Ark
	(Sinclair, Jaha, and Red are outside the doors of the Exodus ship.)
Red	I told you. It happened very fast. I'm not even sure that Doctor Griffin was inside at the time. I'm sorry.
Sinclair	Sir, the Exodus ship is fully charged, and they've begun their launch protocol.
Jaha	It won't launch when the door's open, that's correct?
Sinclair	It is.
Jaha	Then get the damn door open.
Sinclair	We can't. It's already pressurized, and we can only open it from the inside.
Jaha	Keep trying!
Kane	How long until launch?
Sinclair	Two minutes.
Jaha	Diana, open the door!
Guard	Sitrep forthcoming, ma'am. We should be ready for launch momentarily.
Diana Sydney	Upper levels clear? Okay.
Guard	Complete the sweep- and secure the hatches.
Man	Yes, sir! Assume flight positions.
Diana Sydney	Hey! What are you doing?
Jaha	Abby?
Abby	Diana, don't do this.
Diana Sydney	It's already done.
Cuyler Ridley	Get her out of here.
Diana Sydney	Wait. We could use a doctor on the ground. Come with us. You owe Jaha no loyalty. He's killed your husband and betrayed you. You're just like us. Think of your daughter, Abby. You can see Clarke again today.
Abby	I'm nothing like you.
	(She reaches to open the door and shocked falling over.)
Jaha	Abby!
Red	I got my pry bar in! Somebody get me a jack!
Scene 11 - The Bridge
Anya	Lincoln said there are more of you coming down, warriors.
Clarke	The guard, yes, but also farmers, doctors, engineers. We can help each other but not if we're at war.
Anya	Can you promise that these new arrivals won't attack us, that they'll respect the terms you and I agree on?
Clarke	I promise I will do everything I can to convince them to honor the terms that we set.
Anya	Why would I agree to an alliance that your people can break the moment they get here?
Raven	Grounder Princess looks pissed.
Bellamy	Our princess has that effect.
Clarke	If you fire the first shot, those people coming down won't bother negotiating. Our technology- They will wipe you out.
Anya	They wouldn't be the first to try.
Jasper	Oh, no. No. This is bad.
Raven	What the hell are you talking about?
Jasper	There's Grounders in the trees.
Raven	What?
Bellamy	Where?
Raven	Are you sure?
Bellamy	I don't see anything.
Jasper	They're gonna shoot! Clarke, run! Run!
Finn	Clarke, get down!
Clarke	Finn, get back! Go, go!
	(Lincoln gets hit by an arrow.)
Lincoln	Unh!
Octavia	Oh my God! Lincoln! You've been hit!
Lincoln	It's just a scratch. Unh! Okay. Run! Don't stop till you get behind your walls. Go! Take her!
Octavia	Lincoln! No!
Lincoln	Go!
Scene 12 - The Ark
Red	I got the jack!
Jaha	Where's Abby? Send her through!
Diana Sydney	I will if you let the doors close.
Sinclair	No, no, no. They haven't decoupled!
Kane	What does that mean?
Sinclair	It means the dropship's still tied into all of our major systems. Power, water, air. If it launches, the Ark will be crippled, and everyone left on board will die.
Kane	Can we do it from our side?
Sinclair	Yes, but it takes hours, and they're not waiting!
Jaha	Diana, please! You don't want to be remembered like this!
Diana Sydney	I won't be because you brought this on yourself, Jaha. You promised the people truth, and all you gave them were lies!
Jaha	You had me shot! You detonated a bomb in a public meeting, killing six innocent people, and now you want to kill everyone on this space station to satisfy your ego?
Diana Sydney	He is still lying to your face. There aren't enough dropships to get everyone to the ground.
Red	What is she talking about?
Jaha	Trust me, we will figure this out. We will survive, we always do! Go! Come on!
Diana Sydney	You can't trust him. More than one thousand people, most of them workers like you, are gonna be left behind to die. You can still save yourself.
Red	I don't trust either of you.
Sinclair	We've lost the main power generator.
Red	But I'm going to the ground!
	(Red goes onto the ship which allows the doors of the Exodus ship to close.)
Jaha	No!
Diana Sydney	Launch!
Sinclair	Sir, we have to go right now! Everybody out! Get back behind the containment doors. Go, go, go! Please, sir.
Scene 13 - The Woods
	(Clarke, Finn, Octavia, Bellamy, Jasper and Raven sprint back to camp.)
Bellamy	You got anything to say?
Finn	Yeah. I told you no guns!
Clarke	I told you we couldn't trust the Grounders. I was right.
Raven	Why didn't you tell me what you were up to?
Finn	I tried, but you were too busy making bullets for your gun.
Bellamy	You're lucky she brought that! They came there to kill you, Finn.
Finn	You don't know that! Jasper fired the first shot!
Octavia	You ruined everything.
Jasper	I saved you! You're welcome.
Finn	Well, if we weren't at war already, we sure as hell are now. You didn't have to trust the Grounders. You just had to trust me.
Bellamy	Like I said, best Unity Day ever.
	(An explosion sounds through the air, which is revealed to be the Exodus ship.)
Bellamy	The Exodus ship? Your mom's early.
Clarke	Wait. Too fast. No parachute? Something's wrong.
	(Exodus ship impacts heavily with the ground, creating a mushroom cloud.)
	(Clarke sinks to her knees, believing her mother to be dead.)
