Raven shivers as she stands against a log. Her hands are tied above her head.
The Grounders in the village surround her.
"I take no joy in this, Raven." Lexa says, walking forward. "But this time, justice will be done."
"I didn't do it." Raven breathes out. "How is that justice?"
Lexa places her dagger against Ravens arm.
"We have to do something." Skye says, watching in horror as her friend gets cut.
"Lincoln, talk to them." Octavia says as Raven shouts in pain.
Indra steps forward next, lifting Raven's shirt to slice along her stomach, causing her to scream even louder.
"You have to talk to them. These are your people." Octavia says, touching Lincoln's arm.
"Not anymore." He concludes.
Skye has to look away as Raven gets cut a third time. She turns to go back into the building they were let out of.
"Where are you going?" Bellamy asks.
"I can't watch this."
She goes into the room and paces. She can still hear Raven's screams. She looks around the space.
They didn't do it. Who did?
She spots the glass Gustus drank from on the floor. She pauses.
The door to the outside flies opens as Skye rushes back out to where her people stand.
She pushes past them, and Bellamy reaches for her. "Stop, what are you doing? You'll get yourself killed."
She avoids his grip and walks up to Nyko. "I need that bottle. Now."
Nyko nods, going to retrieve it.
Skye raises her voice to the villagers. "Stop!"
Everyone turns to her. Lexa speaks to her guards. "Let her pass."
Skye walks up to the Commander. Bellamy and the others are quickly behind her. "One of your people tried to kill you, Lexa. Not one of mine."
Indra eyes her. "You should have run."
"I can prove it."
Nyko hands Skye the bottle that Kane gave to Lexa earlier in the afternoon.
She takes the cork out and lifts it to her lips, drinking it. She takes several gulps, before putting the cork back.
