Bᴇʟʟᴀᴍʏ, Fɪɴɴ, Mᴜʀᴘʜʏ, Sterling, and Monroe are all walking through the woods. All of them are armed except for Murphy since no one trusted him. That's why he was still walking with his hands bound together leading the other four to the Grounder prison camp. Once Abby Griffin realized Kane wasn't going to send a search team out for her daughter and her friends, she decided to let the friends on the outside help.

"All right, Murphy," Bellamy says, following behind Finn with the rest behind him. "Where to now?"

Murphy scoffs and lifts up his bonded wrists, "What do you say we lose these first, huh?"

Bellamy doesn't take a beat. "No. Again."

"If we get attacked, I have nothing to defend myself with," Murphy argues a valid point.

"I don't care."

"Skye would."

"Would she?"

The two boy's faces are close and their chests are slightly puffed out as they glare each other down. Finn rolls his eyes at the pair and steps over to clip the bonds off Murphy's wrists. Bellamy stares at Finn's back in betrayal as he walks away. Murphy's smug about it.

"Thank you," he says. The other three stay back as Bellamy catches up with Finn.

"Hey, what the hell are you doing?"

Finn turns it around on him and reminds him, "It was your idea to bring him."

"Yeah, he's the only one who's seen where the Grounders keep their prisoners."

As the two walk farther, the other three start slowly catching up with them.

"Then we probably shouldn't let him be defenseless out here. We can handle Murphy."

"You better hope so," Bellamy says as he slows down to let the three delinquents go ahead of him.

"So, do I get a gun now?" Murphy asks, turning to stare Bellamy in the face. He doesn't get a good look at his expression because Bellamy's already pushing him forward. Sterling and Monroe take up the rear as Bellamy walks in the middle. "By the way, Skye would still care if something happened to me. We've been through hell together, you can't just hate somebody over one mistake they've made towards you."

He heard Bellamy scoff behind him, but even he didn't know if Skye would care. It wasn't the first time he'd caused her physical pain. Although, she made sure to make it even between them when she finally forgave him for it.

It didn't take long for the group of escaped prisoners and delinquents to find the Grounder prison camp.  Bellamy almost had the group move on since they didn't see any of their friends, but Finn points out that the Grounders had things from the dropship.  This either meant they knew where their friends are or they killed them already.  As Finn studies the place some more, he notices the Grounder with one eye has Clarke's watch hanging around his neck.  Bellamy and Finn use Murphy as bait to lure the one-eyed Grounder over to them and knock him out.  The group then takes him to the bunker Finn and Clarke had found when they'd first landed on the ground.
