That's just the way life goes

I like to slam doors closed

Trust me, I know it's always about me

I love you, I'm sorry

"I see them. They're moving! I count two, 3, no, wait, there's more. I don't know, man. There's too many of them." One of the teens, Sterling says over the radio.

There are gunshots and then silence. "South foxhole. South foxhole, report now." Bellamy repeats.

"Yeah, yeah. We're ok. They didn't attack. It's like... it's like shooting at ghosts." Sterling replies.

Skye groans and hits the side of the drop ship. The radio is attached to her hip as she maneuvers her way through the mess of wires. She's looking for an orange one for Raven.

Suddenly Monroe shouts over the walkie. "There! I see them!"

More shots unload into the woods.

"Stop! Stop. Hold your fire! Hold your fire! Reload. Now." Bellamy yells.

Sterling comes over the radio again. "Those were our last clips. We should fall back."

"No. If this position falls, they'll walk right to the front door." Bellamy responds.

Raven shouts down at the Griffins. "Did you find it yet?"

Skye rests her hand on her forehead, feeling the pressure. "No. It's a mess down here."

"You have to find the one that connects the manual override to the electromagnet."

Clarke suddenly gasps. "Hey, I found it. Orange wire!"

"About time! Now follow that wire to the override panel."

Clarke follows the wire and Skye helps her. Suddenly the wire stops and Skye curses. "Fuck! Raven? It's fried. Tell me this isn't as bad as I think."

"Do either of you know how to splice a wire?"

The sister's glance at each other. "No." Clarke calls out.

They hear a deep sigh. "Then it's worse."

Jaspers voice suddenly comes over the radio. "They're everywhere! Harper, get down! We need backup! Raven, our mines actually worked!"

Raven gasps and hits the floor to alert the girls. "Jasper can splice!"

Skye picks up the walkie and holds the button down. "Jasper, we need you in the dropship right now."

Bellamy's voice answers in response. "Negative. We can't give up the west woods."

She grinds her teeth impatiently. "The west woods are mined, Bellamy. The Grounders just figured that out. Jasper, get in here."

More gunshots. Suddenly Jasper speaks. "All gunners, listen up. The Grounders are not attacking. They're making us waste bullets. Don't shoot when they're running laterally."

Bellamy agrees. "Jasper's right. Don't fire until you're sure it's attack. Repeat, do not fire until you are sure."

Skye crawls out of the floor of the drop ship. Jasper runs in and she points down to where Clarke is. "Help Clarke and Raven!"

He hands her his gun, and she takes it, rushing outside where the other gunners are scrambling. Bellamy's voice is cutting in and out on the radio.

The Grounders are attacking them now. Someone over the radio shouts. "They've broken through! There's hundreds of them! They're heading for the gate! Game over, man!"
