Insurgent

Synopsis: One choice can transform you-or it can destroy you. But every choice has consequences, and as unrest surges in the factions all around her, Tris Prior must continue trying to save those she loves--and herself--while grappling with haunting questions of grief and forgiveness, identity and loyalty, politics and love. Tris's initiation day should have been marked by celebration and victory with her chosen faction; instead, the day ended with unspeakable horrors. War now looms as conflict between the factions and their ideologies grows. And in times of war, sides must be chosen, secrets will emerge, and choices will become even more irrevocable--and even more powerful. Transformed by her own decisions but also by haunting grief and guilt, radical new discoveries, and shifting relationships. Tris must fully embrace her Divergence, even if she does not know what she may lose by doing so.

Peace.

Long ago,

before the founders established

this great city of ours...

...that word was all but meaningless,

an ideal as elusive as a dream.

Now, 200 years later

We are all of us living proof

that peace is indeed attainable.

The reason for this is of

course are faction system.

Erudite, Dauntless,

Amity, Candor, Abnegation

In dividing people according

to personality and attitude...

...we've created a society in which

each faction plays a critical role...

...in maintaining the social order.

But this harmony we achieved

is now under attack from...

...a small but extremely

dangerous group of individuals

We call them 'Divergents'.

They are in essence the worst

of what humanity used to be...

...rebelious, defious, and uncontrollable.

Five days ago, a rogue group

of divergents posing as

Dauntless brutely invaded Abnegation...

...in an obvious attempt to

cripple the faction system...

...by attacking its most vunerable members.

These divergents despise

our system because...

...they are incapable of conforming to it.

These latest rumours for

example that I was somehow...

...behind the attack on abnegation...

...is nothing more than

divergent propaganda.

I have devoted myself to bringing

these fugitives to justice.

I've exercised my right as acting

council leader to declare martial law...

...until I'm confident that any threat

to our security has been elimintated.

Tell Jeanine that we got it.

We are all that's left of humanity.

The vast wall that encloses this city...

...may protect us from

our toxic surroundings,

but it is up to us to confront any element

that can poison us from within.

Because when you are

civilization's last hope...

...peace is not merely an ideal...

...its an obligation.

And it is up to all us to take a stand

position against it's one true enemy.

Divergents.

Amity!

We should make sure it's clear.

Tris!

Help us, help us, please!

Please help us, you have to help us!

I'm sorry, you have to leave.

You just don't belong here.

- It's all her fault.

You killed Will.

No...

She killed...

Mom!

You've killed us all.

And...Three! Higher!

Higher, higher!

- Are you alright?

Okay everyone back to your classroom.

I just wanted to do something different.

Yeah.

Well that's definitely different.

You don't like it?

- No, i like it, i like it alot.

I'm just surprised, that's all.

What's going on, Tris?

- Nothing. I'm fine.

Just...

Still having nightmares?

No.

We're good.

You and me. I know nothing

else is, but we are.

Time for chores.

How much longer do we

have to stay here, Four?

Until we know it's safe to leave.

Hey.

- Hey.

Son!

You can't ignore me forever.

I know you're thinking

about your next move,

but there are things you don't know.

Marcus, please just leave us alone.

Your mother didn't come back to

abnegation just to save you.

She died trying to hide

something from Jeanine...

...that something entrusted to Abnegation...

...long ago.

- Marcus! Stop!

Whatever you want from us,

you're not gonna get it.

I'm not the enemy here.

You found it...

It was in the home of Natalie

and Andrew Prior, like you said.

Want to tell me what's inside?

A message from the founders of

the future our people deserve.

Divergents will destroy our society,

unless we destroy them.

And now we can.

However, only a divergent

can open this box.

Find them!

Every last one of them.

Go with happiness.

Go with happiness...

You with happiness.

- Thank you.

Go with happiness.

I really don't know how much longer I

can do this whole peace and love thing.

It's the amity way, just try to blend in.

I'm trying to blend in,

and its just not working.

Coming through, on your right.

Hey here we go.

Look a rainbow. It's pretty.

Pathological offendiness along without

questioning passivity. I love this place.

Thank you. Go with happiness.

Oops, Excuse me.

- Hey Tris, I really like your hair by the way.

Did you try to cut it all short and weird...

Hey Peter, why don't you

take your food and sit down?

Or what?

Besides I think we all should stick together

now that we are officially fugitives.

Wait what do you mean

by official fugitives?

You don't know? You didn't tell Caleb?

Yesterday Jeanine announced that

the attack on Abnegation...

...was organized by a group

of regenade divergents...

...and their sympathizers.

So they're blaming this whole thing on us?

- Yeah.

And Jeanine needed a

reason to petition to...

...the council so they

could declare martial law.

And now she has one.

Staying here at Amity is

the best option for now.

We need to keep an eye of the ground and

find out where the rest of the dauntless are.

Then we can make a move.

- We need to kill Jeanine.

I know, we're not ready yet.

Beatrice you're not being serious, are you?

- No I am being serious..

I'm not gonna stop until she's is dead.

Tris you can't just go

around and kill people.

She's right, listen to your sister.

Tris, I think you should go to

Eredite and kill Jeanine yourself.

I will stay with Caleb so

they don't kill him too.

What?

C'mon you know.

Just as she did with your parents.

Stop!

What do you think you're doing?

My office! Now!

Enjoy your meal everyone, enjoy your meal.

Hey, you need to calm down.

Was I not clear that the terms

of your sanctuary here...

...included no violence?

Well I can guarantee you nothing

like this will ever happen again.

Be that as it may, you can

no longer stay here with us.

Your presence, it is just too destructive.

The truth is that our sanctuary was never

gonna last very long here anyways.

Was it?

With you not standing up to Jeanine.

You don't understand us at all.

- No I do understand you.

I understand that you think you

can stay out of this but you can't.

One day she's gonna show

up and Jeanine is gonna...

...take whatever power you

think you have away from you.

Tris! Tris!

Look, Johanna, we need a little more time.

We need to find out where the rest of

the Dauntless are, then we can leave.

And then what? Attack Erudite?

I will not be a part to violence.

- No one is asking you to.

We just need a few more days.

One.

One, what?

- One more chance.

See, to be Amity is to

forgive others, and yourself.

You're hurting Tris.

And my heart goes out to you.

I know what it's like to stand helpless

while you loose the ones you love.

But killing Jeanine will not

bring your mother back.

I know you're angry, but

you're letting it consume you.

What?

Stay here and keep quiet.

Gentlemen, Amity welcomes you.

To what do we owe the pleasure?

- This isn't really a social call Johanna.

We're looking for divergents.

- I see.

Well of course, anything we can do to help.

We need you to volunteer

your faction to be tested.

This is screening technology from Erudite.

Amity.

Now that Jeanine is heading

up the council...

...the whole improval

processing got a little easier.

You're exceeding your jurisdiction.
