I doubt that very much.

She would never supersede the council.

Are you sure about that?

Who's gonna stop her? You?

Factional law must be upheld.

No, wait wait wait.

Can I ask you one question?

Can I ask you one question?

Jeanine believes that Erudite are the most fit

to govern because they are the smartest.

You believe Candor is the most fittest

to judge because you are so honest?

I admit, I hold that belief.

Then, would you say I trial held here at Candor

would be inherently more fair than a trial held by Erudite?

The answer is yes.

In my opinion a Candor trial would have

the greatest chance of achieving true justice.

So you are asking me to petition a

council at the great Candor...?

No. As part of Candors initation

you administer a truth serum.

Correct.

We dont technically discuss such matters with other factions.

-It's a pretty evasive answer.

-Evasion is not dishonest.

But it's not exactly honest either.

-Yes, we possess such a serum.

-Then use it on us.

Four!

If we are guilty, we surrender to the council.

If not, you just saved two lives.

-And gain some loyal allies.

-Alright.

But you should know the serum can be quite brutal.

It was designed for tender applicants who

are already predisposed to honesty.

Not everyone find it so easy to share their secrets.

-I do not want to do it.

-We have to.

Neither of us have secrets worth dying for.

Let the truth set you free.

Tobias Eaton.

You are accused of conspiring with your fellow

Dauntless in the attack on Abnegation.

Is this true?

Conspiring no.

But I did attack.

I was in simulation

controlled by Jeanine and

the rest of the Dauntless

she had recruited.

Tris found me.

She managed to break me free from the simulation

and together we fought are way out.

So you are saying that Jeanine orchestrated this attack?

Yes.

One last thing.

If you suspected that Jeanine had corrupted Dauntless,

why didn't you just leave?

Why did you stay?

I wanted to leave.

But I fell in love with Tris Prior.

And I could not leave her.

Thank you for your Candor.

Thank you for your Candor.

Tobias Eaton, this trial

has concluded and you are

resolved of the guilt on

the attack on Abnegation.

Miss Prior if you would.

Let the truth set you free.

Tris Prior

Mr Eaton said you managed to free him from the sim.

Yes.

So you were never under the simulation yourself.

No.

How is that possible?

Because im divergent.

I see.

So you never harmed any of your fellow

Dauntless or the Abnegation?

I did.

Who?

My mom.

I watched her die first and then my dad.

They were killed trying to save me.

Miss Prior, the more you resist,

the more painfull the serum will be.

My friend ... I killed my friend.

He was trying to shoot me.

And ... I shot him first.

What was his name?

What was his name?

Will. I killed Will.

This is what happens to

people that get close to me.

They get hurt or they die.

I can't forgive myself.

Thank you for your Candor.

Thank you for your Candor.

Tris!

Im sorry.

I told you I didnt want to do that.

-Christina.

-Go.

Go.

Abnegation sim complete.

Dauntless sim initiated.

Mam, the Divergents viable is dropping.

If we dont pull her out of

the sim soon we'll loose her.

You stop when I say so.

She's gonna do it.

She's gonna pass the sim.

Dauntless sim failed.

Divergent test subject six is no longer viable.

Alright shut it down.

We are wasting our time.

I've been asuming all the Divergents are the same.

But some are stronger than others.

Assign all non essential personnel to Divergent detail.

We need to work harder.

We need to find that very special one.

Where's your scary boyfriend?

Probably out doing scary boyfriend things.

Mind if I join you?

I love heights.

Up here everyting seems much smaller, you know.

I know it sounds crazy, but...

Sometimes I think I see lights out beyond the wall.

I know they say its all just wasteland out there but...

We can't be the only ones left. Can we?

C'mon!

-Got any weapons ?

-No!

Coast clear, moving out!

Mommy! Mommy!

That thing hurt me?

You see? It's ok.

It's just something to help you go to sleep.

I need you to do me a favour.

You have to go to the

top of the stairs and

don't come down until

your mommy comes here.

Don't come down. Can you do that?

Be brave, ok ?

Ok, go.

Hey !

Why are we the only ones awake?

Because we're Divergents.

Come on, I need your help to open this.

I need your help.

Hey!

Look who decided to show up.

It's really good to see you again.

Alright folks, nothing to be nervous about.

It's a little routine inspection,

then we all go back to our business.

Hello.

Divergent 10 %.

Sh*t.

You're almost normal.

That's boring.

That is not part of the mission.

So what?

As far as I'm concerned the rest of them are still outlaws.

Let's just wrap this up quick.

The others is gonna be awake soon.

-Hi, sweetie.

-I should not...

-Divergent 40%.

-I'm afraid it's not you either.

The lady said that I should not...

The lady said that I shouldn't have come downstairs.

Maybe you should have listened.

Enough! You still have to test her.

Jeanine stold us we have to test everyone.

-Divergent 100%.

-I'll be damned.

-What?

-She's what we've been looking for.

Bullshit.

Divergent 100%.

Get her in the veichle.

I'll alert Jeanine.

If you think you got lucky, you are wrong.

You gonna wish I killed you.

Drop your weapons!

Thank you.

It's lucky you got that gun Four.

We both know your'e not much without one.

You think you're safe now?

You're wrong.

Jeanine will never gonna stop searching for you.

Why? What she want with her? Tell me!

It's exactly what Jeanine needs. It's the perfect subject.

Is that supposed to scare me?

You're responsible for the

death of hundreds of people.

You know the

punishment for that.

Listen...I found a way to live with the blood on my hands.

But can you?

Why dont they come out?

All I know is that they put me sleeping

and then all hell break lose.

Heck, don't play!

You know what this means.

Thank you.

-For helping us.

-I wish I could do more.

I had no idea Jeanine was capable

of something like this.

It's time we fight back.

-We don't have the numbers.

-We will.

Once we get the Factionless.

You heard Eric.

Jeanine is not gonna stop coming after you.

It's are only option.

Tris Prior. Of course.

It had to be her.

-Is she still off the grid?

-Yeah.

But I think I found a solution.

-It's Peter, right?

-Yeah.

Jeanine, can I just say it's truly an honor

to finally meet you in person.

Congratulations mother.

You got your war.

-I know you wish there was another way.

-But there isn't.

I'm the lesser of two evils, is that it?

-It better be.

-Tell me...

Why did you surrender to Erudite?

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.
