Four centuries after a virus nearly annihilated the human race, leaving only five million survivors in a utopian city called Bregna. Aeon is struggling to destroy the Goodchild regime led by its namesake, Trevor Goodchild, the ruler of Bregna and a descendant of the man who found a cure for the deadly virus. As instructed by the Handler, Aeon is assigned to assassinate Goodchild, but there are deeper secrets to be discovered, and conspiracies to be foiled.

Sithandra.

Goodchild is still alive.

Aeon failed?

She let him live.

There's something between them.

Something personal.

Explain.

She abandoned the mission.

I tried to stop her,

and she attacked me and left me here.

Are you secure where you are?

Fairly.

Help is coming.

Aeon Flux is now considered a fugitive.

She has betrayed the resistance

and must be considered a threat.

She has aligned herself with Goodchild

and is with him now.

We must move quickly.

You will eliminate her.

Kill her and then complete her mission.

Sithandra, show them where you are.

Do you see?

- Yes.

- Yes.

Yes.

Extricate her and proceed from there.

Trevor?

It's her.

Yes.

- She was here.

- What was she looking for?

Her sister.

Una.

Una Flux.

Camille Abdi.

Una Flux.

Member of 7B.

Killed in police action.

Who did this?

All actions authorized

by Adjunct Chairman Oren Goodchild.

Freya, go to my lab,

find the notes from group 7B.

You need to get to a safe place.

They're moving against you.

- Meet me there in two hours.

- Where are you going?

- I have to find her before they do.

- Trevor...

Freya, I'll see you at the lab.

Take care of yourself.

Una.

You're right.

- Please don't hurt my baby.

- She's safe.

You cloned her?

I cloned everybody.

There was a complication

when we cured the industrial disease.

The vaccine had

an unintended side effect.

Sterility.

Only one more generation

of our species could survive.

It was a desperate time.

It's our responsibility...

Cloning had never been used

on humans successfully.

But we succeeded.

Now, when a person dies,

their DNA is recycled.

Oren and I built the Relical

to store the DNA...

and conceal the cloning process.

The Keeper finds a suitable couple...

and, using food additives,

we induce a chemical pregnancy.

When the woman comes in for an exam,

we implant a cloned embryo.

From there, things happen naturally.

In nine months,

a citizen who died is reborn.

For seven generations,

Oren and I have cloned ourselves...

taught ourselves, so that

I could keep trying to find a cure...

while we all live on.

That's what we are?

Copies?

We're more than that.

It wasn't supposed to be permanent.

I've been trying to cure the infertility.

Una was part of one of my test groups.

Oren lied to me.

He told me her test had failed

like the others.

But she had become pregnant.

He killed all of the subjects.

Your sister included.

He killed her

because she was pregnant.

Una didn't know it...

but her baby would've been one

of the first new children in 400 years.

Oren's changed.

He doesn't want to go back.

He doesn't want a cure.

He wants to live forever.

You must've been expecting this

after helping that Monican.

Your loyalty to Trevor

can't protect you anymore.

I'm loyal to something deeper

than any of this.

I don't understand

people like you and Trevor.

Your sentimentality,

your devotion to the past...

to things that are gone.

I couldn't live without those things.

How can you?

Sasha.

We should go.

It won't take long for Oren to find us.

She's gonna be a handful.

Go. They don't want you.

Go!

Down!

No. You need to stay conscious.

Please remain calm.

We are experiencing

a technical malfunction.

Please remain calm.

We are experiencing

a technical malfunction.

Please remain calm.

We are experiencing...

We can't go to a Monican safe house.

Nowhere's going to be safe for us.

We need to get the bullets out.

Are you hit anywhere else?

Did any of them manage to miss you?

We might have to go outside the wall.

I know.

First, I have to end this.

I need to go back in.

I have to get my notes

from Una's test group.

Oren will find the lab and destroy it,

everything I've done.

All military units should report

to their stations...

and wait for further instructions.

Who's in charge here?

We need your help.

- We have orders to shoot you on sight.

- There's been a coup.

Your orders are coming

from an illegitimate government.

- Stay where you are, sir!

- What's your name?

- Sir?

- I want to know your name.

It's Ord. Garret Ord.

I can't command you anymore, Garret.

But neither can they.

You're free.

You need to make a decision.

Shoot us or help us, but do it quickly.

Lieutenant?

How can I help you,

Chairman Goodchild?

We need weapons.

We need to get back into the Citadel.

Yes, sir.

Attention. Please return to your home

and wait for further instructions.

You will be updated frequently.

This is an announcement from the

Council and Chairman Oren Goodchild.

Attention. Please return to your home

and wait for further instructions.

- We're getting closer.

- Wait.

Trevor.

The name you called me...

Katherine.

That was my name.

You were my wife.

We had a life together,

just like anybody else.

Wait.

You need to tell me.

I lost you during the disease,

and you couldn't be brought back.

I've lived and died

seven times since then.

And each time

I taught myself about you.

You were an idea I kept alive.

Something I had to imagine.

But when I saw you...

what I felt was real.

I knew you.

I remembered you.

What we had then survived in us

past death, past everything.

I was looking for you.

I've been waiting.

We were different people.

We were.

Those people are gone.

But something in them came back.

Yes.

I remember.

It's chaos out there.

There's a coup against Goodchild.

Made it easier to slip in.

Did you bring a way to find her?

As long as there's a trace of the pill

in her, we can track her.

No.

Freya.

It's gone.

I had cured it.

I'd found the answer.

It's all gone.

We have to keep moving.

There's still one more thing to do.

There's nothing left to do.

You and I need to get out of here.

We go outside the wall.

We'll find a way to live.

There's one more thing to do.

I need to destroy it.

No.

This isn't the answer, Aeon.

There's no guarantee

I can find the cure again.

- The cloning is all we have.

- It's not enough.

Our minds are unraveling, and every

time you bring us back it gets worse.

If you do this, we end.

We're meant to die.

It's what makes

anything about us matter.

Living like this is torture.

We're just ghosts.

That's not how I feel.

Not now.

Let's be careful.

You know who we're up against.

- This is an empty gesture.

- It's a leap of faith.

It's not for you to decide.

Aeon, I don't want to lose you again.

You don't have to.

You'll find the cure again.

It's over, Trevor.

Moving into position on the south spire.
