Transcript
Jonas: (outside) Last week we found out that The Order raised Gina in a place called La Crete. So I'm headed back to the bunker where Emma was in hiding. Why? Cause last time we were there, I saw "La Crete" written on a white board inside. Obviously The Resistance knows about this location so I'm hoping that they left some of their research behind.
(Cut to the view of the road out of the windshield of Jonas's truck)
Jonas: (voice over) I've had a lot of time to think about this. To think about everything, really. It's been a while since I've been on my own. No one to answer to but myself. You know, no attachments, no... boundaries that I have to maintain. (Sound of a car passing) It's not isolation because I'm choosing it. It's freedom.
(Cut to Jonas outside on a cliff.)
Jonas: (voice over) I feel terrible about what I said to Jennie. (Cut to Jonas bent in front of the camera, talking) I wish I could take it back. But, I can't. And given our propensity to document everything, (puts arms up) my words are now memorialized forever. (Throws a rock over the cliff) I'm just- I'm in no position to be in a relationship right now and I'm not even sure I wanna be. We're just- we're so close to figuring this thing out. I can't stop now. I won't. I finally feel like I'm a- I'm on course now. I know it. (Shouts over the cliff) I know it! (Puts his hands on his head and then kicks the dirt) See, when I was a- a kid, (laughs) my dad, he used to always try to be so spontaneous. You know, whether it was building a fort in the middle of winter or a last minute trip to the lake. You know, stuff like that. Always just seem to be so in the moment. My mom... well, she always let out this playful little laugh right before reigning him in. She would always say his ideas were ridiculous and childish. But my dad, he would always defend her. He'd say, "Son, before you were born your mother and I, we had a crazy life on the road." (Laughs) You know, I used to imagine that they were like wild hippies or something. Now I know better. I guess my point is that my mom, she used to be his partner in crime. You know, I me- I don't know, maybe it was because they had me. But all of a sudden she became his warden. You know? I love Jennie because she means well and she's so smart and she j- she cares so deeply about other people. But I am not ready to be taken care of or to be reigned in or to be changed. I don't know. This is gon- this is gonna sound like a cliché. It is a cliché but... it's not her. It's me. I don't know... you're not even gonna see this! I don't even know what I'm- (shouting over the cliff) I don't even know what I'm saying! I don't even know what I'm saying. (Grabs camera and walks off)
(Cut to Jonas in the forest)
Jonas: This bunker is the last connection to my parents and I'm doing my best to retrace their steps. So I figured this is a good place to start. (Turns camera to show the bunker) (voice over) Okay, I just got done (cut to Jonas crouched in the forest) searching the bunker and I found something. (Holds a rolled piece of paper up) You know, i- i- it doesn't have anything to do with La Crete, but it was hidden behind this brick in- in the back wall. (Opens paper and holds it up to the camera) Look at this, I don't know what any of this stuff means but it's gotta be important. It's gotta lead to something important, right? Otherwise why would The Resistance have hidden it? Jennie, Daniel, I... I've gotta do this alone. This is what I was meant to do. Just like my parents. (Grabs camera)

Notes
- When Jonas is seen on the cliff, he is wearing a shirt with a skull on it. However, when he is seen in the forest near the bunker, he is wearing a completely different shirt.
