Some call Bregna the perfect society.

Some call it
the height of human civilization.

But others know better.

The Goodchilds built Bregna
to ensure us a future.

They built the Relical...

a memorial to remind us
of what we've survived.

They built walls to protect us.

They tell us that outside,
nature has retaken the world.

But the real problems lie within.

We are haunted
by sorrows we cannot name.

People disappear...

and our government
denies these crimes.

The Goodchild regime provides for us,
as long as we stay quiet.

So we trade freedom for a gilded cage.

But there are rebels
who refuse to make that trade...

who fight to overthrow a government
that silences us...

who fight
in the name of the disappeared.

They call themselves the Monicans.

I am one of them.

Handler.

Aeon.

We have an assignment.

We want you to sabotage Goodchild's
central surveillance facility.

Your entry will be noticed, but we will
briefly disrupt their interior alarms.

Surveillance is their greatest tool
against us.

As long as Monicans can be seen,
we can be targeted.

We need you to blind them.

Each mission brings us closer
to defeating the Goodchild regime.

This is my daughter.
Have you seen her?

She disappeared two months ago.

Help me, please, miss.
Have you seen this girl?

She disappeared two months ago.

Losing sleep? Having bad dreams?

Visit our sleep center for help.

Losing sleep? Having bad dreams?
Visit our sleep...

Shopping for me, Una?

Haven't you heard?
It's a special occasion.

My sister's finally coming to dinner.

Claudius and I
are looking forward to tonight.

For once, you'll be in the house
long enough to sit down.

That's why
I wanted to meet with you here.

Aeon.

I may not make it tonight, I'm sorry.

Don't be upset.

It's not that you can't come to dinner.

It's why.

You know,
I used to imagine you'd come with me.

We have different ways
of solving problems.

Yes. You ignore them.

How could I possibly ignore them?

Excuse me. This is my daughter.

I see the problems. I feel them.

And I'm trying
to make something good out of it.

- A life.
- What kind of life is it?

There are good things here.

There's one.

- So I have a surprise for you.
- Tell me.

Tonight.

So be careful.

And come back.

Losing sleep? Having bad dreams?

Losing sleep? Having bad dreams?

Visit our sleep center for help.

Possible Monican consort.
Three subjects.

Identification requested.

Possible Monican activity suspected.

It's not that you can't come to dinner.

It's why.

You know,
I used to imagine you'd come with me.

I think we have different ways
of solving problems.

This is the way things are
and I'm trying...

to make something good out of it. A life.

You're early, Claudius.

But they're everywhere.

We need to protect you from them.

This is how Chairman Goodchild
deals with Monicans.

But she wasn't...

She wasn't a Monican.

I had a family once.

I had a life.

Now all I have is a mission.

Una.

Aeon.

Aeon, Una.

Aeon.

Come back.

Yes.

She will see you now.

Handler.

Aeon.

We have an assignment.

One you've been waiting for.

Goodchild.

We've intercepted information that
will allow us to penetrate his security.

We want you to eliminate him.

You should've sent me in earlier.

- That would've been suicide.
- Not for me.

Patience, Aeon.

It has taken a year
to get the information we need.

I know you want to do this for Una.

But you must remember,
this is larger than you.

She's not the only innocent person
who's been killed.

This is our moment.

We have never been stronger.

People are frightened, yes...

but if we show them the way...

they will rise behind us when he's gone.

I'm ready.

Tomorrow, Goodchild will be preparing
his address to the Council.

To reach the government zone, you
will need to cross the frontier garden.

Once you are through the garden,
you must move quickly to the Citadel.

The underground interior has been built
to be confusing.

We've implanted a route for you.
Follow it.

I want Sithandra with me
for the crossing.

Of course. Get to the Forum.

That's where
Chairman Goodchild will be.

You know what to do from there.

Yes.

Do this and you will have your revenge.

And we will all have our victory.

Hello, Sithandra.

- Still can't surprise you.
- Not yet.

How are the modifications?

Useful.

You should have it done.

I like my shoes.

Warning. End of civilian zone.
Do not proceed.

Warning. Do not proceed.

Ready?

Always.

Warning. Do not proceed.

- Sithandra.
- Let's keep moving.

- We understand these now?
- Completely.

I'd keep off the grass.

- Rendezvous at 1620.
- I'll be waiting.

I agree with the policy
of targeting proven Monican threats.

But I'm afraid we're going too far.

We can't go too far with them.

There are advantages
to showing a degree of leniency.

We can't allow them the luxury of hope.
Not even one of them.

Brute force isn't the only option.

It's an effective one.

The Monicans are growing strong.
Soon, force won't be enough.

So you want to compromise?
Negotiate?

The policy should be reconsidered.

- Put to a vote.
- The policy is not up for debate!

I'm debating it!

I'd encourage you to look at this
with a little more detachment, Giroux.

Here, we must be impersonal.

You wouldn't want me to take
your outburst personally, would you?

That is all.

Oren?

I'm getting worried about you, Oren.
This edge you've taken.

Displays like that aren't helpful to us.

I believe in protecting what we've
created. I won't apologize for that.

This was created
to allow me to do my work.

I can't do that
if you can't control yourself.

- Understood.
- Is it?

Yes.

- And what about the test results?
- All negative.

Sorry.

Find me a new test group by morning.

Maybe it's time
to give up on the tests, Trevor.

We're living the solution already.
This is perfection.

- Why can't you just embrace it?
- You see what's happening to people.

You know
how desperate this has become.

It can be contained. Controlled.

I think you're forgetting
that this was all meant to be temporary.

We've always said that,
but why should it be?

Because it's wrong.

Things change.

But I know you won't.

You know me.

I've been your brother a long time.

You're right about that.

Trevor, your speech.

Trevor...

Useless.

- State destination.
- Forum.

Proceed forward.

Proceed left.

I know you have fears.

You have sorrows that shake your belief
and try your patience.

But now more than ever,
we must stand together...

because there are those among us...

who would tear down
what we have built.

The Monicans seek to divide us.

We must never forget who we are...

a lonely outpost, a tiny band.

We're all that remains of a people
that once covered the Earth.

We must adapt together
to these new challenges.

Remember what we have faced,
what we have survived.

We will adapt.

We have always adapted.

It's the fabric of who we are.

Katherine.

It's you.

Katherine.

Wait outside.

Aeon.

You called me by another name earlier.

I did, and you let me live.

Give me my gun. We'll try it again.

Maybe later.

What was that name?

You know me, don't you?

No.

Do you know who you are?

- I know I came here to kill you.
- That's why you're in a cell.

But we're both still alive for a reason.

I don't know what this is...

but it's good to see you.

Amateurs.

Good boys.

- Aeon.
- Little busy, Sithandra.

Is it done?

I need more time.

Our information on him may be wrong.

I don't understand this.
We have to move. I hope you...

Don't question me, Sithandra.

I'll contact you soon.

Aeon, you know
there will be consequences to this.

I know what I'm doing.

This is outrageous.

One Monican
eluding all of our defenses?

The problem will be taken care of.

The problem is
Trevor's concept of security.

He needs to learn to accept
more traditional...

He needs to learn to accept our input.

Another example of him pursuing his
own agenda, no matter what we think.

- I'm beginning to question his agenda.
- Meaning?

The Monican tries to kill him
and he lets her live?

An unusual choice.

And now she's escaped.

Does anyone believe
this is a coincidence?

Do you really think
that I'm a sympathetic ear...

for your complaints about Trevor?

You don't have the right
to question what he does.

You must be concerned, Oren.

This is hardly routine.

I think I should talk with Trevor.

And I think
all of you should be more discreet.

Inari?

Lmage retrieval commencing.

What happened?

My sources were clear on this.

Aeon Flux
is the best the Monicans have.

- She failed.
- It's the first time she has.

I wanted this done cleanly.

- My brother...
- Will be vulnerable.

Preparing his speech...

Tomorrow, 1300...

It can't be traced to you, in any case.

That's comforting.

We did everything correctly.

- She had her opportunity.
- And she stopped.

Why?

- I don't know.
- Image retrieval underway.

It'll be too risky to call another hit.

The Monicans may suspect
they are being used.

Stop.

Oren?

No.

That's impossible.

Claudius.

- Why are you still here?
- It's not as simple as you think.

Una is murdered and you keep working
for the people who did it?

- What should I be thinking?
- You don't know.

What don't I know?

They killed her.

- And you're still alive.
- You killed her, Aeon.

They thought she was a Monican,
that's why she died.

- Una's life was worth more than that.
- She was all I had.

You're not the only one.

What are you
really doing here, Claudius?

Working.

It's all that's left.

Working. For Trevor Goodchild.

I blamed him, too.

But now
I don't think it was Trevor's fault.

Trevor's trying to help.

Something is wrong with us, Aeon.
With everybody.

You have the dreams, don't you?

Memories of things
that never happened to you?

Una had them. I have them.

It's happening all across Bregna.

- What is it?
- I don't know.

They only tell us what we need to know.

My work is a small part
of a larger experiment.

- Whose experiment?
- Trevor's.

We're studying
what's growing outside the wall.

Something happened
when they cured the industrial disease.

Something else sprung up in its place.

We're sick.

And Trevor's trying to cure us.
That's all I know.

Trevor tried to dope me.

Tell me what's in this.

It's a message.

Well, what does it say?

You have to drink it.
That's how it works.

I loved her.

You know that.

Aeon.

I'm sorry for the pain,
but it's not safe to talk in the open.

Nothing is as it seems.

You had your chance.
Why did you hesitate?

You know where to find me.

- Why am I here?
- I needed to see you again.

You killed my sister.

I didn't know anything about it.

I'm sorry.

- And that excuses you?
- No.

But this is a war.
People on all sides die.

She shouldn't have.
She had nothing to do with this.

- Everyone is involved in this.
- She wasn't.

I don't need that to kill you.

But it would be easier, wouldn't it?

Everything changed when I saw you.

I know you. And you know me.

Why do I know you? Why?

Why did you come back?

- What do you want from me?
- What do I want?

I want my sister back.

I want to remember
what it feels like to be a person.

Aeon.

Why do I feel this way around you?

Katherine...

You know me.

I want you to eliminate him.

Come back.

I'm not who you think I am, Aeon.

Something is missing here.

We identified the variables
that compromised test group 7 A.

Schedule a Relical visit regarding 7B
and make sure we isolate them.

It's just a matter of time...

before people look up
and question what's happening here.

Found you.

No permanent damage here, Chairman.

You may leave.

She's escaped.

Why am I not surprised?

I found her in the library.

- I think I wounded her, but...
- You attacked her?

She's a Monican agent
who tried to kill you.

I assumed it was obvious
what I should do.

Freya, I want her alive.
Do you understand?

Is Oren aware of this?

I can't find him.

Stay close.

No matter what Trevor's done for us
in the past, he's not above reproach.

This is treason.

Oren?

Trevor has been moving away from us
for a long time.

What we've built here
is larger than him.

I never thought it would come to this,
but we have to face the truth.

He chose that Monican
and he knew what that would mean.

He must be removed.

And Oren is next in line.

Isn't that right?

Yes.

It's done, then.

Mr. Chairman.

Trevor has betrayed all of us.

He's a criminal.

We'll treat him as one.

...test group 7 A.

Schedule a Relical visit regarding 7B
and make sure we isolate them.

It's just a matter of time...

before people look up
and question what's happening here.

Review progress of subjects
from test group 7B...

Sandrin Veems, Greta Salk, Una Flux.

Schedule a Relical visit
to retrieve new data.

8.26, 7. 19.

Greta Salk, Una Flux.

Schedule a Relical visit
to retrieve new data.

8.26, 7. 19.

Collect additional samples
from Relical strands 5.88.

You're certainly killing him kindly.

The situation has changed.

Our orders haven't.

I'm not following orders anymore.

Why are you doing this, Aeon?

Everything has become
more complicated.

No, it's simple.

Trevor may not be responsible
for Una's death.

- Trevor?
- I'm trying to find out who is.

Your mission was to kill Goodchild
and you can't or won't do that. So...

Give me your weapon
and return across the frontier.

- Didn't I teach you to think for yourself?
- You taught me a lot more than that.

Please!

I can hurt you if I have to.

Don't you feel something wrong
inside you?

Sithandra, I'm...
