Go," she said."Corey and I can carry you," Daniel said. "Just grab on--""Then three of us will get caught instead of one. Go."She pushed Daniel. When he hesitated, she shoved him hard enough to knock him off his feet."You know it's the right thing," she said as he scrambled up. "They won't hurt me. Without you, I'm the only benandanti they have."We didn't know that, of course.

In the scene, a character urges her friends to leave her behind to ensure their own safety during a confrontation. Despite Daniel's insistence that they can help her, she firmly rejects the idea, emphasizing that if they stay, they all risk getting caught. She pushes him away when he hesitates, reinforcing her belief that she is uniquely positioned to face their pursuers alone as she is vital to their captors.
Her friends are conflicted, wanting to protect her but recognizing that their chances of escape diminish if they don't act quickly. Although Daniel promises to come back for her, she pragmatically points out that they lack the strength to confront the danger ahead. This moment highlights the tension between loyalty and survival, showcasing her determination to sacrifice herself for the greater good.
