What part of "I won't see you" was unclear?
I respected your wishes for a week, Clarke. But we've got bigger concerns.
"We" don't have any concerns at all.
Yes, we do. I'm hosting a summit with Skaikru at sundown. You'll be returned to your people.
You went to all that trouble to capture me just to let me go?
I went to all that trouble, to save you.
... You know when I could've used saving? When you abandoned me at Mount Weather.
Clearly, you didn't need my help.
Clearly. [turns away]
You're angry, Clarke. But I know you. What you've done haunts you, and it's easier to hate me than to hate yourself.
[turns around] Oh, I can do both.
What would you have done, if their leader had offered you the deal? Save your people, at the price of mine. Would you really have chosen differently?
I don't betray my friends!
But you did. You had friends in Mount Weather.
Those deaths are on you, too. The only difference is, you have no honor and I had no choice.
It helps no one to dwell on the past, and that's not why I'm here. You're right, I'm not just letting you go back to your people; I want something more. I want your people... to become my people. I'm offering Skaikru the chance, to join my coalition... become the Thirteenth Clan. No one would dare to move against you, because that would be moving against me.
Just leave me alone. I'm done. Do you understand that? I left-
You can't run away from who you are, Clarke! [more softly] Join me. Bow before me, and your people will be safe-
Bow before you?! [scoffs] You don't give a damn about my people. I know why you're here. I made you look weak, at Mount Weather, and now the Ice Nation is exploiting that. Well, if you want the power of Wanheda... kill me. Take it. Otherwise, go float yourself, because I will never bow to you.
