It's up to you.

Alright, but under protest.

Okay we're good to go!

Move it out!

All Amity report to the dome all come to

the dome for new mandatory testing.

Ok, lets go, get inside!

You know something lady?

You seem awfully stuck in that doorway.

Eric is here. We need to move now, come on.

-What's up there?

-Just my office.

There's two guards with guns.

We're going out the window?

We need to split up.

Okey, yeah.

Every man for hmself.

Good.

Hey, they're up here!

Hey, they're up here! Come

qon they're getting away!

You're ready?

-Where?

-Out the window!

I got three on foot heading towards the dome!

-Get them low!

-Repeat, three on foot toward the dome.

Over there!

-I demand amnisty!

-Sit down! Sit down!

I believe in Abignation, it's my right!

-Detain him!

-Let's go!

Come on, keep moving!

Run!

Run!

Come on!

-Listen!

-What?

A train!

Go, go, go!

Caleb!

Keep moving.

Ammo!

Come on, go.

-Go, go!

-Caleb!

Move!

You sure know how to make an entrance!

-Factionless.

- Amity.

Oh, you stare like dogs.

I have no idea what this one is.

-Look, we just need to get to the city, thats all.

-Well to bad, the train is taken.

And you damaged our cargo.

These are Abnegation and you are factionless right?

-Caleb!

-I used to be Abnegation.

We used the same bolts to make cloth for you.

Are you saying that we steal from you?

No no, I'm no longer Abnegation,

so technically you're not stealing from me.

No, you're not stealing at all.

It's a questions of semantics I suppose

wether it's stealing or sharing.

-But it's all really the same.

-That's enough!

Everybody relax alright.

You've made your point.

-We'll get off your train alright.

-Guy, would everybody just relax?

Why don't we take a seat?

-I was just trying to help!

-Don't.

Yeah, this is going to be fun.

Everybody calm down alright?

Caleb.

Get off! Get off!

- You alright?

- Yup.

Are you okay?

-Tobias Eaton.

- Say it again.

Tobias Eaton.

What you know him?

I am him.

We have been looking for you.

What are they talking about? br /Four!

Follow me.

Tris! I'm sorry, I wanted to help.

Four! four! why are they looking for you?

How do they know your your name?

This is factionless.

This is insane.

Tobias!

Mother.

I thought she was dead.

Me too.

Somebody please tell me what's going on here.

Tobias's father was very abusive.

I knew the only way I could ever truly escape him was...

to disappear completely.

Abnegation helped me fake my death.

Anything to protect Marcus image.

But you just left him there alone with Marcus.

I was very young.

I reached out to him about a year ago.

I felt it was finally time to reconnect.

-I'm still your mother.

-No, my mother is dead.

I went to her funeral when I was six.

And she wasn't trying to reconnect with me.

She was trying to use me.

Like you are now.

What?

She wants an army.

-An army?

-I want an alliance.

-No, what you want is revenge!

-This isn't about me.

It's about putting an

end to a system that

says one group is more

deserving than another.

This city may be surrounded by a wall

but it doesn't have to be a prison.

I think that's a bit extreme.

I mean, the factions isn't meant

to be perfect but it's hardly a prison.

Let me guess, you're Erudite?

I was Erudite.

-Are you willing to kill Jeanine?

-Absolutely.

When I was married to Marcus I knew her well.

And believe me, there's nothing she isn't capable of.

-But I think you already know that.

-Tris, we can't trust her.

-Maybe she knows....

-We're on the same side, Tris.

I'm factionless because I don't fit in any one faction.

And you're Divergent because you belong to too many..

But we are both a threat to Jeanine.

My people are ready for war if that's what it takes.

And then what?

-We depose those in power.

-And once you've done that?

Once you killed Jeanine, who's in power then?

You see, that's the part she always conveniently leaves out.

Don't tell me this isn't about you, this is only about you.

I know where the remaining Dauntless are hiding.

-Where?

-They took shelter in Candor.

As far as I know they're still there.

Think about it. If we were to combine forces,

Dauntless and Factionless, we'd be unstoppable.

That's not gonna happen.

Thank you for your hospitality,

but we will be leaving in the morning.

Four, maybe this is...

Tobias, please reconsider.

Don't you call me that.

My name is Four.

You want to talk him in, or should I?

The food looks lovely.

Thank you.

I'm sorry.

I should've told you about her.

No more secrets.

Okay?

I'm sorry. I didn't mean to wake you.

I always loved to watch him sleep.

I take it you're setting out to Candor in the morning?

Yeah.

Listen, I only want what's best for him.

You hardly even know him.

You'd like to think

that wouldn't you?

But deep inside I think you're

scared I know him all to well.

-Im not scared.

-Of course you are.

You're scared that he'll finally

see you for what you really are.

Deadly.

You don't believe me?

Ask him.

Are you okey?

Yeah.

-Sure?

-Yeah.

-Im not going with you guys.

-What?

To Candor. I'm not going with you guys.

-What are you talking about?

-What's your plan?

You guys are gonna find the rest of the Dauntless

and then what?

You attack Erudite?

Assasinate Jeanine and start a civil war?

Im sorry, I'm just not cut out for that.

I'm not like you guys.

I need to get back to Abnegation maybe...

....Maybe I can be usefull there.

Caleb, there's nothing left in Abnegation.

Yeah.

-You okey?

-We just need to get to Candor.

Triss!

I know you think Caleb is your responsibility

but he made his own choice.

You can't protect everyone.

-I can't protect anyone.

-Nobody can.

Him leaving isn't your fault. None of this is your fault.

Johanna was right. You have to forgive yourself.

Thank you.

We gotta move.

-We found them!

-Yeah.

-Damn it's good to see you guys.

-How are you?

I'm better now. I'm not exactly good for layong low.

-Triss!

-Christina!

-It's so good to see you.

-You too.

Have you heard anything about Will?

-No.

-Nothing?

No.

Something must have happened to him.

He would've found me by now you know.

-Hey.

-Hey.

How are you holding up?

-How many Dauntless do we have?

-175 total.

-175? That's it?

-The rest followed Max.

-Not nearly the number we need.

Hold it! Grab the guns!

-Hey, they're with us.

-We know who you are.

Last warning. Drop your guns.

Alright.

Easy.

- I'm Jack Kang, I'm leadership here.

-We know who you are.

We are not a threat to Candor.

That might be your truth, it's not neccesarily mine.

All I know for certain is you are both wanted for

criminal insurgency and conspiring

in the attack on Abnegation.

Those are lies.

If you were Candor I would take you at your word.

Unfortunately given the circumstances

I'm obliged to hand you over to the council.

-You can make your case there.

-You might as well kill us now.

If Jeanine finds us, we're not gonna live to stand trial.
