- Thelonious Jaha: We all have pain. Some of it is physical from injuries or age. Some is mental, you know, living with the loss of our loved ones. If you think about it, whether we fight that pain or succumb to it, the result is the same. It diminishes our lives, robs us of our passions and pastimes and damages relationships between friends and lovers. What if I told you that there's a simple way to eliminate that pain?
- Raven Reyes: I'd say you're full of crap.
- [pause]
- Raven Reyes: There's no simple way to eliminate pain, and you know it.
- A.L.I.E.: So much suffering. If we get her, the others will come.
- Thelonious Jaha: [Shows the pill] This can make it go away.
- Raven Reyes: [Unbelieving] Heh. Please.
- Thelonious Jaha: The key to the city of light, to your salvation and relief.
- Raven Reyes: OK. OK. You're telling these people what, that they swallow that, and they'll be living in happy town for the rest of their lives?
- [pause]
- Raven Reyes: You should be ashamed of yourself.
- A.L.I.E.: We need her.
- Thelonious Jaha: [to ALIE] She's not ready.
- [to Raven]
- Thelonious Jaha: I'll be here when you are.
- Lexa: So tell us, Clarke, how does this end? Have you come up with a way to save your people yet again?
- Clarke Griffin: No. Only you can do that. What happened here was an act of war. Your army was here to help us, and my people slaughtered them. You have every right to respond, every right to wipe us out, or you can change the way you do things.
- Indra: Why should she change? Blood must have blood.
- Clarke Griffin: Really? Because from where I stand, the only way that ends is with everyone dead. So what kind of leader do you want to be, the kind who kills every chance she gets because that's your way or the kind who shows the world a better way.
- Lexa: You consider letting a massacre go unavenged a better way?
- Clarke Griffin: If it ends a cycle of violence, yes. If it brings about peace, yes. Someone has to take the first step. Let it be you. You say you want peace. Everything you've done was to achieve that, yet here we stand on the brink of another war, a war you could stop.
- Indra: Commander, you can't seriously be considering this.
- Lexa: I'm not considering it. I'm doing it.
- Indra: Heda, please.
- Lexa: Indra, our people act as if war is easier than peace. If that's so, should we not try and achieve the more difficult goal?
- Indra: Polis will not support you. Titus...
- Lexa: Titus is my subject. They're all my subjects. Do you say they will defy me? Will you defy me?
- Indra: No, Heda. I will not.
- Lexa: Then let it be known. Blood must not have blood.
- Raven Reyes: [Song goes in the background] Undo This Storm Undo this storm And wait I lie awake and watch it all It feels like thousand eyes I'll be the calm I will be quiet
- [takes out the pill Jaha gave from her pocket]
- Raven Reyes: Stripped to the bone I wait No, I'll be a stone
- [swallows the pill]
- Raven Reyes: I'll be the hunter A tower that casts A shade I lie awake and watch it all
- [gets up and starts walking]
- Raven Reyes: It feels like thousand eyes I lie awake and watch it all It feels like thousand eyes
- [notices that her pain and limping is gone]
- Raven Reyes: I am the storm
- [sees Allie standing in front of her for the first time]
- A.L.I.E.: Time to get back to work, raven.
- Raven Reyes: [Song continues in the background] I am the storm I am the storm So wait
- [Closing lines]
