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....
Shopping for me, Una?
Haven't you heard? It's a special occasion.
My sister's finally coming to dinner.
Claudius and l 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?

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 1 620. -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. -ls 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?
Image 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 7A.
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 7A.
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. 1 9.
Greta Salk, Una Flux.
Schedule a Relical visit to retrieve new data.
8.26, 7. 1 9.
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....
I don't know who I am.
You feel it, too, don't you?
Come with me.
We'll finish the mission together.
I can't.
This sort of thing used to be fun.
Now what do I do with you?
Katherine.
Come back.
