Insurgent Page #4

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.

What do you want?

I would like a position in your regime.

Ideally I would like a position with

some advancement opportunities.

I may be Dauntless but I'm

not just some meathead.

No offense, Max.

Prove your worth to us.

Then we can discuss your ambitions.

Great.

When do I start?

Let's talk about your friend Tris Prior.

How do I flush her out?

- It's simple.

The girl is a walking bleeding heart.

She was borne out of Abegnation.

It's her weak spot. You just

have to know how to press it.

Help! Come quick.

Traitor Tris Prior must be

surrendered to Erudite.

Or every day more death will follow.

Hand over Tris Prior.

Or every day more death will follow.

Hand over Tris Prior.

Or every day more death will follow.

Hand over Tris Prior.

Or every day more death will follow.

- Christina!

No!

Christina!

Help me!

Tris!

We removed this from the

body of the suicidal.

Marlene. Her name was Marlene.

I'm sorry. Marlene.

It's a very sophisticated sim serum injector.

It also has a radio transmitter in its head.

How do we get them out?

- I don't know.

This tech was built to defend itself.

This tendril...

...wraps around the nearest major artery.

If you try to remove them...

it kills the host.

Kill the host?

So what do we do?

Tori must neutralize the disk

before we do anything else.

Or we can do the logical thing.

We hand her over.

Nobody knows about this alliance,

we have to protect that advantage.

If we hand Tris over now...

...it might buy some time.

I think it's a good idea.

But you have to go through me first.

Me too.

- And us.

I am the one with a time bomb in my arm!

I know what you're thinking.

But I'm not gonna let you do it.

I can't let anyone else die because of me.

No one else is gonna die because of you.

Tori will disable the disk.

And if she doesn't?

- Then...

If she doesn't, we figure it out.

Together.

You know, I'm just one person.

I'm not worth it.

- You are worth it.

You are more than worth it to me.

I love you.

This city may be safe behind a closed wall,

but make no mistake, that wall alone

doesn't ensure our security.

It's up to us, everyone of us, to remain

vigilant and isolate any threat against us.

There are individuals hiding among

us who must be contained.

Permit me to adress the objections from

my fellow faction leaders.

I'm aware that there has

been some concerns...

...about the unavoidable raid on Candor...

...so let me be clear.

The harbouring of Divergents

from any faction...

...can not be tolerated.

Very soon I will present what

I believe to be no less...

...than a mandate from

the founders themselves.

On this I have no doubt on the measure

I have taken to keep the peace.

I have provided instructions that will allow

us to eradicate the Divergence crisis.

Once and for all.

Where are you going?

She has left. She's gone.

What? When?

Last night.

- Wait.

Tobias! People look to you for leadership.

You can't just abandon them.

Tobias!

Wow!

I have to admit that I'm surprised.

I mean, I know that you are dumb but...

...I didn't think you were dumb enough

to actually come down here.

And turn yourself in.

The killings had to stop.

That just shows that you can

take the girl from Abnigation...

...but you can't take Abnigation out of her.

Let's go.

Once a stiff, always a stiff. Right?

What is this?

What is this? This is the whole

reason you are locked Tris.

Man I love knowing stuff you don't.

I need you to open that box Tris.

The only way to open that box is to

pass the sims of all five factions.

But the only people who have

tried to it so far have died.

I don't think I was supposed to tell you that.

Well...

No pressure.

Remarkable!

The chances of it being you of all people.

You're the more probability.

As remarkable as many people

you managed to murder?

Dark times call for extreme measures.

You may find it hard to believe.

But I'm serving the greater good.

Step up on the disc please.

Step up on the disc please.

Mam?

Stop the suicides or I

swear I will shoot him.

That's okey. You can kill him if you want,

we have plenty of guards.

What?

I'm guessing you need me alive

for this to work. Right?

Right?

Tris.

Caleb.

Caleb.

Don't engage to subject.

Conditions are already less then optimal.

My God.

If I do this the suicides stop?

No. The suicides will continue.

Until you succeed and pass all five sims.

That should be sufficient enough.

Good luck.

Let's begin.

Initialize the Dauntless sim.

Mom.

Tris, help me!

Heart rate is rising.

Keep her in play.

Mom!

I'm coming.

Mom!

I'm coming.

Tris!

Hold on!

Tris.

Dauntless sim complete.

I miss you so much.

- I know you do.

But I'm still with you..

You need to be strong now.

Tell me you're gonna be strong.

I'm trying.

- You can do this.

I know you can.

You're brave. Braver than anyone.

I'm not brave mom.

I pretend that I am.

I want people to think that I am, but I'm not.

I'm really really scared and...

Maybe we are actually

what's wrong in this world.

Divergents.

I never wanted any of this.

You and dad and Caleb and Four.

I can't help but think that if I was normal

we would all still be together.

Mom, I don't want to be Divergent anymore.

I just want to feel safe again.

Candor sim complete.

Four. You're here?

Yeah, I'm here.

Are you okay?

- Yeah.

Secure the hallway.

Let's get you out of here.

You good?

- Yeah.

Stop. Let him go.

Wait, you're not gonna shoot me?

Once a stiff, always a stiff.

Go!

Four, how did you get passed security?

You know me, scary boyfriend skills.

What is it?

You weren't there. You

didn't even hear that.

Tris.

We need to leave now. Alright?

I'm sorry Four.

What?

- I'm sorry I didn't tell you I was gonna go.

I wanted to say goodbye,

but I just didnt know how.

I didn't know how.

- What are you talking about?

Even though I didn't get to say it in real life,

at least I get to say it now.

Even if it is just a sim.

- Tris, we're not in a sim.

Don't you think I would

know if I were in a sim?

You're not in a sim.

You're the sim.

- Wait, wait.

Erudite sim complete.

There's only Amity now.

- She hasn't passed Abnigation yet.

Yes she has. When she spared your life.

This girl is extraordinary.

She tested positive for

four factions in one day.

No one has gotten that far.

We got a problem.

She's crashing. We have to rest her.

Are you sure you're not letting

familiar attachment cloud your judgement?

See for yourself.

Very well.

Detach the subject.

Good work, gentlemen. We

will resume tomorrow.

You were never planing on going

back to Abnegation, were you?

I had to do what I thought was right.

My parents would be ashamed of you.

Well maybe not. I mean I'm

willing to sacrifice you.

The only family I have left.

The only person that I love.

In order to preserve what's

best for everyone else.

What's more selfless than that?

What does Jeanine think

is in that box Caleb?

It's a message from the founders.
