*This is part two of the transcript* (Part 1)
Scene 15:
Raven (On radio): Clarke, we need to fire the engines. Close the door or I will.
Clarke: We need a little more time.
Raven: There is no more time.
Computer: 30 seconds to impact
Raven: Tell Bellamy to get in the damn ship.
Computer: 27, 26…
Raven (On radio): Clarke, I don’t want to do this either, but I’m firing the thrusters.
Monty (from a distance): Bellamy! Wait!
Bellamy: There they are!
Clarke: They’re here.
Computer: 14, 13, 12, 11, 10…
Bellamy: Time to spare.
Computer: 8, 7, 6, 5, 4… 3, 2, 1.
Clarke (On radio): Raven, they’re in.
Raven: Go for launch.
Shaw: Copy that. Three, two, one. Hold on. It’s going to be close.
Raven: Uhh. Just once I’d like to take off from a planet that wasn’t on fire.
Scene 16:
[Coughing]
Bellamy: How’s Murphy?
Clarke: Jackson got both bullets. He’ll be ok. Cockroaches are hard to kill. Emori’s with him now and Gaia’s going keep her leg.
Bellamy: Kane?
Clarke: They put him in a drug-induced coma. I’m not sure why, but Jackson says there’s not enough of the drugs to keep him that way for long. It doesn’t look good.
Bellamy: What if he didn’t need the drug? I don’t know much about cryosleep, but at least it will keep him alive.
Clarke: That’s brilliant. I’ll tell my mom.
Bellamy: Hey. When you’re finished, come to the bridge. We’re deciding the fate of the human race. Again. You should be there.
Clarke: You’re not mad at me for leaving you in Polis?
Bellamy: The commander ordered me not to be.
Clarke: I’ll meet you on the bridge.
Scene 17:
Diyoza: Cheer up. I wasn’t invited, either. You know what your mistake was?
Octavia: Not killing you the day you opened the bunker?
Diyoza: That, too. But then what kind of lesson would that be. Your mistake was liking it. Power. It’s the kiss of death. Thats ok. I liked it, too.
Octavia: One garden, two serpents. Eden never stood a chance.
Scene 18:
Bellamy: It’s gone, guys.
Emori: Close it up, Shaw.
Bellamy: Like our ancestors on the ark, we’re the last of the human race.
Clarke: Our ancestors were wrong. We’re not.
Bellamy: 412 people on this ship. Thanks to Madi, we saved who could be saved. Now it’s our job to keep them alive. How do we do that?
Emori: Algae?
Murphy: Oh, float me now.
Shaw: Can I…?
Bellamy: Yeah.
Shaw: From what we know about the half-life of hythylodium, it’ll be at least 10 years before that valley comes back. The ship does have a small water recycler and a few week’s worth of rations, but that’s it. Cryo is the only option. There are 500 pods, which is more than enough for what we need.
Raven: I agree with Shaw. The tech is amazing. We got to sleep, we don’t age, we wake the next morning, it’s 10 years later, and Bob’s your uncle.
Monty: I thought you hated that phrase.
Raven: It’s growing on me.
Bellamy: It’s up to you, Madi.
Madi: Ok. I guess it’s time for bed.
Scene 19:
Clarke: All right, Madi, we’re all set.
Madi: Will we dream?
Clarke: I don’t know. But if we do, I’ll see you in mine. Come on. Ok. You ready?
[Kiss]
Clarke: I’m so proud of you, Madi.
Scene 20:
Bellamy: Ok, your turn.
Octavia: Kind of like closing the door in the floor.
Bellamy: Kind of like that.
Octavia: Wait… I love you, big brother. I know you love me, too. Don’t mae me wait 10 years to hear you say it.
Bellamy: You’re my sister, and a part of me will always love you.
Octavia: Does the other part still wish I was dead?
Bellamy: The other part wishes a part of you was. Yeah.
Octavia: That’s fair.
Bellamy: It won’t feel like 10 years.
Scene 21:
Clarke: Hey.
Bellamy: Hey. Uhh. Why is it just us?
Jordan [out of sight]: That’s the way mom and dad wanted it. Uh… can I just say, wow. I mean, I can’t tell you how good it is to finally meet you. Weird but good. Great, actually!
Bellamy: Who are you?
Jordan: My name, right, I didn’t tell you my name. Sorry. I’ve never met anyone before, so I clearly suck at it. Heh heh. I’m Jordan, Monty and Harper’s son.
Bellamy: They didn’t go to sleep.
Jordan: They talked about your time on the ring a lot. Too much, actually. How happy they were there. I guess they wanted to get back to that. Get dressed and come to the bridge. Dad left explicit instructions: “Wake Clarke and Bellamy first. Play them the message.”
Clarke: Hey, wait. How long were we asleep?
Jordan: 125 years.
Scene 22:
Monty (on video): Hey, guys, it’s been about a year since you all went to bed. Not much to report, really. My algae farm is awesome. No surprise there. Oh. I’m able to monitor conditions on the ground using the ship’s geologic equipment, so I’ll know when it’s safe for us to back down. Get’s a little lonely sometimes without the rest of you, but the peace and quiet is what–
Harper: Monty, I’ve been waiting.
Monty: Harper, I’m in the middle of–
Harper: You promised me.
[Kiss]
Harper: We have another 40 staterooms that– Ha Ha! Why didn’t you tell me?
Monty: Uh… not a lot to do in space. Ahem.
Jordan: I so didn’t need to see that.
[Next video]
Monty: Hey, again. Today’s the two-year anniversary of the long nap. Harper’s been eating a little too much algae.
Harper: [laughs] Hilarious. Hey guys, um, surprise. Ha! Ohh. We picked a name today. Boy or girl– Jordan.
Monty: I think Jasper would like that. Anyway, still no sign the ground is coming back. I wouldn’t expect it this soon, so I’m not worried. We’ll check back in next time there’s news.
[Next video]
[Baby fussing]
Monty: Meet Jordan Jasper Green.
[Baby crying]
Monty: Shh. That’s all for now. Harper’s resting. We’re both good, though. Oh, shh. He’ll be eight when you meet him. I can’t wait to see your faces. [To baby] hi.
Jordan: Things didn’t go as planned.
[Next video]
Monty: Happy wake-up day. 10 years. and since you’re watching this sometime in the future, you know not that.. that I didn’t wake you up. That’s because there’s still nothing down there. I’m working the problem. I’ve told Harper it’s to be expected, but, um… well, that’s a lie. This is going to take a while. Jordan is doing great, though. He’s a happy kid. I took a page from Clarke’s parenting book. he knows all about you guys. Believe it or not, Murphy’s his favorite.
Jordan: It was a rebellious phase.
Monty: Anyway, it’s going to be a while. I’ll let you know if things change.
[Next video]
Hey guys, it’s been a long time since we recorded one of these. We just put Jordan in cryo. He’s a good boy.
Harper: Smart, like his father
Monty: and kind like his mom. We chose this life. He didn’t. Hey. If you’re watching this, kiddo… we love you so much. Did you follow m instructions? Assuming he did… hey Bellamy, hey Clarke. We wanted him to wake you first so we could talk. Earth… isn’t coming back. You’ve been asleep for over 28 years and it’s as dead as the day we left. I’m working on a plan “B,” though. If you’re awake, that means I found it. I’ll see you again when I do.
[Monty almost turns video camera off]
Harper: Wait not yet. Take care of our boy.
[Next video]
Monty: Jordan… your mother died today. She was pretty sick the last few years. Clarke, you were right. Her dad’s genetic condition finally got her. We had a good life. Sometimes… I know she wanted to be with you guys. Maybe I did, too. But if we did that… I wouldn’t be able to show you this, son.
[Window opens]
Monty: It took me 30 years, but I finally cracked the Eligius 3 mission file. Turns out it wasn’t a mining mission. After sucking the Earth dry of oil, they went looking for another planet to tap.
Clarke: Two suns?
Monty: I set the coordinates a week ago. If I’m right, you should get there in… 75 years. I’m tempted to put myself in cryo to see it, but without Harper. Anyway, it’s in the Goldilocks zone of a binary star system but that’s all I know. Eligius three never radioed back, or, if they did, it was after apocalypse one, so no one heard it. Can you see it? Is it beautiful? It is in my dreams. I hope we do better there. I hope Jasper was wrong and we aren’t the problem. I hope your lives there will be as happy as mine as been. Be the good guys. May we meet again.
Bellamy & Clarke: May we meet again.
