1
Welcome, Sky Crew.
2
Join us.
3
Hackage from Raven.
4
Hydra Z.
5
She said it would do the job.
6
Good.
7
And, uh, my mother wanted her to be here, too.
8
I know.
9
But the wounded in Tundee Sea made her more.
10
Field Commanders.
11
Today's the day we get our people back.
12
The enemy thinks it's safe behind its doors, but it's not.
13
When it realizes that, it will fight back.
14
Hard.
15
We need to be ready.
16
This is a rescue mission.
17
We are not here to wipe them out.
18
There are people inside that mountain that have helped us.
19
Children who have nothing to do with this war.
20
We kill their soldiers, their leadership if we have to.
21
But we are there to rescue our people.
22
Is that clear?
23
Then let's begin.
24
There are four teams.
25
Two of them, at the dam and in the mine, are moving into position already.
26
The third, inside the mountain, is freeing the grounder prisoners as we speak.
27
It is our job as the fourth team to keep the
28
eyes of the enemy off of them for as long as possible.
29
To do that, we have to be in position here, at the main door, with our entire army.
30
The mountain men believe the door can't be opened from the outside, so they leave it unguarded.
31
Only it can be.
32
And thanks for our source on the inside, now we know how.
33
According to Maya, the electromagnetic locking system has one flaw.
34
When the power goes out, it disengages.
35
And that's where
36
Raven's team comes in.
37
The mountain's electricity is generated at Philpot Dam.
38
By now, they've taken the turbine room.
39
Cover the door.
40
It's their job to blow the power.
41
Once they do, we blow the lock.
42
There is a catch.
43
A backup generator inside the mountain.
44
If the lock is still functioning when that backup power kicks in, we'll never get that door open.
45
We'll never get our people back.
46
How much time do we have until the backup power kicks in?
47
One minute.
48
That's a window.
49
Small window.
50
Why don't we just take out the backup generator too?
51
Bellamy's inside.
52
Have him do it.
53
Leaving them without power that long would kill them all.
54
And as I said, that's not the mission.
55
Besides, we lost contact with Bellamy.
56
What? Who did? When?
57
After he took out the acid fog.
58
Bellamy the warrior.
59
He'll be fine.
60
As the commander said, once the door is open, the shooting will start.
61
And they'll throw everything they have at us.
62
But that's what we want.
63
We want them looking at us.
64
Because while we're fighting at the front door, Indra's team will be escorting the prisoners out the back, right through the Reaper tunnels.
65
Once all our people are free, they'll sound the retreat.
66
We'll be back home before
67
Mount Weather even knows they're gone.
68
That's it.
69
That's the plan.
70
The mountain has cast a shadow over these woods for too long.
71
They've hunted us, controlled us, turned us into monsters.
72
That ends today.
73
Thanks for our alliance with the Sky People, the mountain will fall.
74
As Clark said, we spared the innocent.
75
Ezra the guilty
76
Juice train Juice down
77
Thank you.

What is the Shadowing Technique?
Shadowing is a science-backed language learning technique originally developed for professional interpreter training and popularized by polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. The method is simple but powerful: you listen to native English audio and immediately repeat it out loud — like a shadow following the speaker with just a 1–2 second delay. Unlike passive listening or grammar drills, shadowing forces your brain and mouth muscles to simultaneously process and reproduce real speech patterns. Research shows it significantly improves pronunciation accuracy, intonation, rhythm, connected speech, listening comprehension, and speaking fluency — making it one of the most effective methods for IELTS Speaking preparation and real-world English communication.
