Murphy walked into the turbine room where Clarke was keeping Bellamy locked away. He walked in and found Bellamy pulling on the chains till his wrists were blooding.

"Bellamy, what the hell are you doing?" Murphy stopped when he saw Bellamy trying to get the chains off. "You're just hurting yourself." Murphy told him.

"Murphy. Murphy." Bellamy stood, turning to face him. "Untie me, please." Bellamy begged.

"I can't do that." Murphy shook his head. "Look, I'm--I'm sorry about Faye and your--" 

"Just let me go?"

"Hey, I can't, okay? Okay, I can't. We can't open that hatch. So stop doing this to yourself before I call medical and knock your ass out." 

"You haven't changed." Bellamy said. "You only care about yourself. If it was Emori up there, would you try and get to her?" 

"You're wrong." John ignored his words about Emori. "Look, this is only gonna be for a few days." 

"They'll be dead in a few days!" Bellamy yelled.

"Yeah." John muttered to himself. "I'm sorry." 

"Aah! Murphy!" Bellamy kept pulling on the chains as Murphy left.

"We should break it down." Indra said while her and Faye were in the temple's main room. 

"Then it won't save anyone." Faye said. "And no one knew that one was there for 100 years, good luck finding another one. I didn't kill Luna just to have everyone die here." 

"Skaikru betrays us once again." Indra and Faye stood when they saw Echo. "Once everyone knows, they'll call for your head, and Azgeda will take the bunker."

"Where's Roan?" Faye asked. 

"He died in the acid rain." Echo said. 

"Echo, stop." Faye stopped her when Echo went to leave. "If you tell the other clans, we'll all die. But Bellamy is in the bunker trying to open that door. When he does, I'll need help getting everyone inside. Your people will live" Faye offered. 

"You really think he'll open the door?" Echo asked skeptically. 

"Yes." 

"Considering how much he cares about you, I'd say that's a good plan." Echo put her sword away.

The three of them waited for a long time until a scout and Octavia came back. 

"The rain stopped." Octavia told them. "The clans are on their way. Do we stop them?" She asked Faye.

Faye looked back at the bunker, it still wasn't open. "No. Let them come." The scout left. "We can't stop them forever."

They waited for the clans to come running in when the door began to open.

Octavia ran to her brother.

"I knew you'd come through." Faye said when he came over to her. 

"I love you so much."

"I love you, too." Faye smiled. 

"Heda, they're here." Indra told her.

"We are One clan. And this is our home." Faye grabbed her sword and held it to Echo's throat. "Everyone except you." 

"We had a deal. You said--" Echo began. 

"I said your people would live. I didn't say anything about you. You can tell them we stole the bunker if you want, but the door's open now, so..." Faye said.
