Allegiant

Welcome to the Bureau of Genetic Welfare.

My name is Matthew.

Now, let's get you into decontamination.

It's them from Chicago.

It's her, Tris Prior. She made it.

There's nothing to worry about.

You're being decontaminated from the toxins which plague our world.

Please remove your clothes and place them in the incineration hatch.

Please step forward.

Place your feet on the mark.

You're clean. Please place your arm into the tube in the wall.

There's nothing to worry about, Tris.

Please place your arm into the tube.

I've never felt so clean in my life.

That was the best weird shower I've ever had.

Little cold...

Hey, yours is different.

Why are they all different?

Hello and welcome to the Bureau of Genetic Welfare.

In the early part of the 21st century,

scientists first discovered a way to map,

then edit, the human genome.

Or you can choose health.

You can choose to settle for merely adequate.

Or you can choose excellent.

A genetic solution puts you in control of your life.

So why just hope for a better future

when you can choose perfection?

Choose Perfexia.

But what started as an attempt to erase humanity's faults

almost erased humanity itself.

Genetic modification deepened the rifts between people,

and as they got more entrenched, the world began to tear apart,

until humanity crossed a line from which it could never return.

In the ashes of civilization,

a small group of genetically unmodified individuals

established the Bureau of Genetic Welfare here,

at Chicago's O'Hare Airport.

Our mission is to oversee a grand experiment

to purify the human genome.

That experiment is the city of Chicago.

Your participation in the Bureau's work

means you are now the guardians of the future.

Your destiny begins today.

Now, please follow me.

What's an airport?

Life in the Bureau can be demanding, but the work is worth every sacrifice.

It's them!

We don't have all the resources we would like of course,

but I think you'll find your accommodations more than adequate.

They're in person here!

Who are they? We bring them in from the Fringe,

get them healthy, give them a second chance.

Hi, Four.

Hi, Four. Hey.

How do they know who we are?

The experiment is the entire focus of the Bureau.

Our surveillance technology

is centuries ahead of anything you've known in Chicago.

They've grown up watching you.

Nothing creepy about that.

You have to forgive everyone for staring but,

your arrival is the most exciting event some of us have ever known.

Welcome to your new home.

Where's Four? Did you hurt him?

I told you I wanted them unharmed.

He went with them. Willingly.

But he's alive?

Do you hear what I'm saying? He betrayed you.

No. It's just love.

He's your son. He should be loyal. I'm loyal.

Yes, you are.

So rest up. I need you ready to fight.

What do you think?

I think they've been studying us for 200 years and we need to catch up.

We're gonna give it a chance, right?

Yeah. Of course we are.

I wish we were alone.

Excuse me.

The director's ready to see you.

Yeah, sorry, I meant Tris, alone.

We can't go together?

Since you were the one who opened the box which invited you here,

the director would like to thank you personally.

I'll see you later.

Clothes. Thanks.

This way.

Go ahead. Put your wrist under the scanner.

Access granted.

Pure.

Just never imagined the world to be this big.

Chicago is just one of

50 major cities that used to exist

on this continent alone.

Beyond that is oceans and more land than you can imagine.

It's all like this now?

Yeah.

All except for Providence.

Which is why what we're doing here is so important, Tris.

Hello.

You must be the director.

Oh, please, call me David.

It is a pleasure to finally meet you.

You must have so many questions.

I'm a bit overwhelmed. I'm still processing it all.

Oh, Tris, I know you.

I watched you being born.

I saw the love that your mother and father had for you.

I watched a little girl have a happy childhood

and grow into a courageous young woman capable of making choices.

Dauntless. Defying Jeanine. Saving Chicago.

To your people, you are Divergent.

To the Council, you are a freak.

To me, you are a miracle.

David, are you aware of what's happening in Chicago right now?

Of course. Yes.

The people at Erudite really made a mess of things,

but I don't want you to worry about that.

Restoring order in Chicago is as important to me as it is to you.

It's the only way to save the Damaged.

What is the Damaged?

The genetic alterations had disastrous consequences.

Too brave, and you're cruel.

Too peaceful, and you're passive.

Too smart, and you lose compassion.

Like your brother.

Caleb's Damaged?

Yes.

For nearly 200 years,

the greatest scientific minds have lived here to test a theory.

If we could rescue genetically damaged people

from the toxic environment in the Fringe

and put them in a safe place, like Chicago,

then perhaps, over time,

man's genetic material would heal itself,

return to its original form.

And I'm one of those people.

You are the only one.

That doesn't make any sense.

I mean, Four is Divergent. There's lots of Divergents.

Not Divergent, Tris. Pure.

You are genetically Pure. The rest are still Damaged.

Four? Damaged.

Not as much as Caleb, but Damaged.

If we can understand what made you,

maybe we can use that knowledge to help the Damaged.

But what does this have to do with Chicago?

I answer to the Council.

They're the ones who ultimately determine our fate, yours and mine.

I'm gonna bring you with me to Providence to meet them.

When they see that it's possible,

that you were possible, it will change everything.

I understand it's hard to take my word for it.

But if you don't believe me, believe your mother.

My mother?

Your mother Natalie wasn't born in Chicago.

She was born in the Fringe and rescued by the Bureau.

No, that's impossible.

See for yourself.

What are those?

They're your mother's memory tabs.

With them, you can watch the world through her eyes.

What do I do?

Place one on each temple.

Natalie! Come on!

I'm not Natalie.

We need to hide! Come on!

They're coming! Run!

The Fringers!

Run!

I'm not Natalie.

Natalie, no!

No!

Bureau soldiers!

Left! Flank left!

Hit right, hit right, hit right!

We're taking you to the Bureau.

You're safe.

You don't have to be afraid anymore.

How many more did you save today? Not enough.

We never get enough.

Chicago has got to work, David. It's the only hope for us.

In the ashes of civilization,

a small group of genetically unmodified individuals

established the Bureau of Genetic Welfare here,

at Chicago's O'Hare Airport.

You're safe.

Grand experiment to purify the human genome.

You're safe now.

Your destiny begins today.

Tris, in a moment of need,

your mother did something that no one had done before.

She volunteered to leave the safety of the Bureau

to enter the experiment herself.

She did this because she knew the Damaged were worth saving.

She believed in the experiment so much, she was willing to be a part of it.

If I can show the Council your miracle can be replicated...

then her life's work is complete.

The Council will be forced to look at every human being,

no matter where they were born, as worthy of life.
