PLANET BARDO - 45 DAYS AGO

Diyoza: Octavia, don't tell them anything!

Guard: It's been recharged.

Doctor: She's clean. Transfer to M-Cap.

Guard: Yes, sir.

Man on PA: Security breach. All nonessential personnel, return to lifts stat. All security personnel, report. I repeat, subject is on the run. Apprehend at all costs.

Octavia: How do I get out of here?

Computer voice: Level two. Arboretum level.

Guard: Welcome to Bardo.

MOON SANCTUM - PRESENT

Indra: What happened?

Jae: It's the faithful.

Indra: Excuse me?

Blythe: What the fools who still believe are calling themselves now. They barricaded themselves inside our tavern and are demanding to speak to Clarke.

Indra: We already spared Russell's life. What do they want now?

Nelson: Indra, we need to talk about Russell.

Indra: Get some sleep, Nelson. It's late.

Nelson: Russell dies, and I don't expose Kaylee and Daniel. That was our deal.

Indra: Letting Russell live is how we keep the peace.

Nelson: Keeping our deal is, too.

Indra: Are you threatening me?

Nelson: If I was, what could you do about it without an army? This should be good.

Trey: I asked for Clarke and Elena.

Indra: You got me. What do you want?

Trey: On behalf of the faithful, I demand the release of Russell Prime.

Indra: We already spared his life today. That's as far as we're willing to go. As you know, he ordered you to stand down.

Trey: That was before he was shot.

Indra: Yes, by one of yours.

Trey: Not ours. We are the keepers of the light. Russell Prime is a being of divine love, yet you keep him in chains like one of the prisoners you pollute our home with.

Indra: All any of us wants is peace. Russell wants that, too.

Trey: We had peace before you arrived, and we won't rest until we get back everything you've stolen from us.

Indra: So you defy the will of your god?

Trey: No. We obey. We won't take up arms against our enemies, but we will sacrafice our lives for his one by one every hour until his release.

Indra: Trey, don't be a fool.

Trey: Will you release Russell Prime?

Indra: I told you, that's not going to happen.

Woman: For the glory and the grace of the Primes.

Nelson: Out of the way! Move! Move! Get off!

Trey: One per hour. You try to take the tavern, and we all die at once.
