[The group runs back through the woods, trying to run away from whoever "killed" Jasper. Clarke turns back but Finn pulls her along.] 

Finn: Clarke! Come on.

[Monty falls down next to human bones] 

"Oh my God." Everyone muttered with wide eyes. 

Clarke: Monty, get up. 

Finn: Come on! We got to go!

Octavia: Monty, get up! 

[Octavia and Finn pull Monty us as everyone else starts seeing the bones] 

Finn: Who are they?

[Clark picks up what looks like a scull]

Clarke: What are they? 

"That would be an orangutan scull." Kol said, and gave a shrug when people looked at him weirdly. 

Hope: And what the hell are they doing? 

[Hope picks up one of the bones and looks at it as everyone stares at her like she's done lost her damn mind] 

"Hope, don't pick up random bones!" Lizzie scolded. 

"Yes, mom." Hope said sarcastically. 

Octavia: We are so screwed.

[Jasper screams in the distance] 

Hope: Jasper. He's alive. 

[Hope takes off running and the others follow] 

Finn: Hope, wait. Wait! Wait. Stay out of the trees. [They look across, and Jaspers body is gone] He was right there.

Monty: Where is he?

Hope: [Angry] They took him. 

[Jasper is seen bleeding badly as he's being dragged away] 

"Oh my God." Everyone said, worried for the boy. 

[Abby walks into the monitor room] 

Abby: Talk to me, Jackson. 

Jackson: Rumors are spreading. Witnesses saw a dropship launch. It's only a matter of time till the people figure out that we sent the hundred to the ground.

Abby: Let the council worry about the people. I need you focused on reestablishing communication with those kids. How many dark tiles?

Jackson: Twenty-three. We've been losing them at a steady rate all day. Abby, these are different. Vital signs spike for a longer duration before flat line; It looks like a pain response. This is what we'd expect to see with exposure to radiation.

Abby: I know what it looks like, Jackson, but there's another explanation. We just haven't found it yet. 

"You kids are pains the ass." Hayley said, shaking her head at them. 

Male: Chancellor on deck. 

[Jaha enters and sees Wells's dark tile.] 

Jaha: My son... We sent them down to die.

Abby: No. We sent them down to live... To go to Earth to see if it was survivable so that all of us could live.

Jaha: Abby, stop. I know this is hard, but we don't have time for false hope. This space station is dying, and Earth is not survivable. That is what the wristbands are telling us.
