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 it's 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 removed them...

and 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

doesnt 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 address 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 mandates 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 cant 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 te 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...laws of probability.

As remarkable as many people you managed to murder?

Dark times call for extrme 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 guesing 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 suced 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?

Four....you're not in a sim.

- You're the sim.

-Wait, wait.

Erudite sim complete.

-There's only Amity now.

-She hasn't passed Abnegation 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 though 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.

But the box was to be opened

only if the factions broke down.

Which is why we require

someone like you to open it.

You're living proof

that the Divergent

problem has grown

beyond all control.

Do you even hear what you
