Kane's pov
Clarke is sitting alone I approach her.
"Tearing each other and yourself apart isn't a way to get through this. Lexa needs this alliance just as much as we do. She's shown herself to be flexible, she listens to you." I said
"She thinks we tried to kill her." Clarke said
"We know we didn't. So let's figure out who did. Who would want her dead?" I asked Lincoln
"Too many to count. Forming the alliance was a risk. Especially with what Finn did at this village." Lincoln said
"So it had to be someone trying to break the alliance." Octavia said
"How's Gustus?" Lincoln asked as some guards walked in
"Gustus is ok." A guard said
"Take her away" Indra said talking about Raven
"Wait wait what are you doing?" Lincoln asked as they went to grab raven.
"She didn't poison anyone!" Bellamy said stepping in front of raven
"I argued for all of you to die, but the Commander is merciful. She wants only one." Indra said
"She's innocent." Lincoln said
"I don't care! They move they bleed! The rest of you are free, when she is dead so is the alliance. You should run." Indra said

Giselle's pov
Raven is tied to a post, the death by 1000 cuts ritual is to be performed.
"I take no joy in this, Raven, but this time justice will be done." Lexa said
"I didn't do it. How is that justice?" Raven said
"We have to do something." I said as Lexa makes the first cut on Raven's arm. Indra makes another cut on her stomach. Think Giselle, think.
"Talk to them! These are your people!" Octavia said to Lincoln
"Not anymore." He said
"You are no longer safe here my friend. I will make sure you get away then you'll be on your own." Nyko said to  Lincoln.
"It wasn't in the bottle." I shouted and ran out towards Lexa and Gustus.
"Giselle, stop what are you doing you'll get yourself killed." Bellamy said trying to pull me back.
"I need that bottle, now! Stop!" I said
"Let her pass." Lexa said
"One of your people tried to kill you, Lexa. Not one of mine." I said
"You should have run." Indra said walking up to me
"I can prove it." I said as I take the bottle and drink from it. Nothing happened
"Explain." Lexa said
"The poison wasn't in the bottle, it was in the cup." I said
"A trick Commander, do not be fooled." Gustus said
"It was you. He tested the cup, he searched Raven." Bellamy said walking up to my side.
"Gustus would never harm me." Lexa said
"You weren't the target, the alliance was." Bellamy said
"We didn't do this and you know it." Clarke said
"You've been accused, Gustus. Speak true." Lexa said
"This alliance would cost you your life heda. I could not let that happen." Gustus said "This treachery will cost you yours. Put him on the tree!" Lexa said as Raven is lifted off the tree.
"You're so lucky. What if it was poisoned? You could have died" Bellamy whispered pulling me into a hug
"It worked didn't it" I said
"Yeah it worked you little genius" Bellamy said kissing my temple as I giggled.

Monty's pov
I am trying to unjam the frequency.
"Come on! Come on! Alpha Station you better be listening. Ok, here we go. Jamming signal deactivated. Yes! Yes!" I said
"All clear, gentlemen." I said walking out of the room I begin to walk off with the cart.
"Hold up! Forgot to log it." Emerson said
"Whoops I'm always doing that." I said I copy the entry of the last log.
"Thanks for saving me. Take care." I said
"You said it was all cleared. Your entry says something else." Emerson said
"You sure? Huh, that's weird if you don't mind i'll uh fix it later. I have another room to check." I said. I begin to run away but Emerson catches me knocking me down.

Third person
Gustus is tied the tree. Each villager is taking their cut. Lexa steps forward to deliver the final blow.
"Yu gonplei ste odon." Lexa said as she delivers the final blow, killing him.

Bellamy's pov
"Guys! Listen to this!" Raven said bringing the radio over
"47 of us are trapped inside Mount Weather." Monty's voice through the radio said.
"Talk to him, say something." Clarke said
"It's repeating." Raven said
"We don't know how much time we have left, please hurry." Monty's voice came through the radio again.
"We need to do this now. We've got the alliance now is the time to use it." I said
"We need an inside man. You were right without someone on the inside to lower their defenses, turn off the acid fog an army's useless. You should go." Clarke said
"I thought you hated that plan. That I would get myself killed." I said.
"I was being weak, it's worth the risk. My map of Mount Weather. Find a way to get on that radio and talk to us. Good luck." Clarke said
"I can get you through the tunnels." Lincoln said
"You can't go back there, not yet." Octavia said
"Let me show you what to look for." Raven said to me leading me away from the group.

Octavias pov
"I have to. I need to face what I've done." Lincoln said
"Then let's face it, together." I said
"No you're needed here. You know our ways, without that this alliance will fail." Lincoln said
"I won't let that happen." I said
"I know you won't." Lincoln said

Abby's pov
I approach Clarke.
"Clarke this is for you. Finn's ashes from the pyre. I thought you could scatter them somewhere might help you say goodbye." I said
"I've already said goodbye." Clarke said
Clarke follows Lexa into a bunker, With me watching.

Monty's pov
I awaken in a cage.
"Harper, hey. What did they do to you?" I said seeing harder looking bloody in another cage
"47, they built one for each of us." She said I look on ahead to see at the 45 other cages.
