"I never want to see another vent in my life." Skye mumbles.

Bellamy laughs, sliding his fingers into the grate and gently pushing the cover out of the way.

They crawl out, entering the harvest chamber room.

Skye immediately heads for Echo's cage, pulling the key out of her pocket.

"Get up. It's time to go." She says.

Echo lifts her head, looking at her oddly.

"I told you we'd come back for you." She opens the cell, holding her arms out. "Our people are marching on the mountain right now."

Bellamy helps Skye lift Echo down from the cage.

She hands the key to Bellamy, and he unlocks the next cage over, where Skye was in, just a day prior.

The Grounder inside flinches and Bellamy holds his hands up. "Hey, it's okay. We're getting you out."

Echo pushes Bellamy out of the way. "Slow down. They just bled him."

Skye touches Echo's shoulder. "There is an army inside this room. I need you to help us get them ready to fight. Can you do that?"

She takes a deep breath, nodding.

"Start with him." Bellamy says, tilting his head toward the man in the cage he just unlocked.

Echo helps him down, telling him something in trig.

Bellamy starts to unlock the next cage, but the Grounders begin to get antsy. They shake their cages and shout.

"Too much noise." Skye says, with a shake of her head.

Echo walks forward, shouting in her native language. "Taim yu gaf in bilak free, shof op!"

The noise immediately dissipates.

Echo turns to Skye. "Okay. How do we do this?"

"There's an army outside going for the main door. When they get it open, all hell will break loose. That is the signal for our friends to come here, and then-"

She gets interrupted as high pitched feedback echos over the loud speaker.

"My fellow citizens, this is your president speaking."

"Cage..." Skye says, glancing nervously at Bellamy.

The announcement continues. "I have news to share with you... that will change all of our lives forever. For 97 years, Mount Weather has been our home. It's kept us alive, but it has also held us captive. Most of us have made peace with what we've had to do to survive. We've done these things for one reason. So that our people could someday return to the ground. That day is today."

Bellamy's voice is quiet as he speaks. "He's going public."

Cage continues. "Before my friend, Lorelei Tsing was murdered by the Outsiders still at large in this mountain... she found a cure. It was in their bone marrow."

Bellamy hands Echo the key to the cages. "Here. We'll be back."

"Where are you going?" She follows after them.
