- TORI:
The test didn't work on you.

You have to trust yourself.

(DOOR CLOSES)

- CALEB:
What happened to you today?

Where did you go after your test?

- TRIS:
I got sick, so they

sent me home early.

- CALEB:
Did you finish your test?

- TRIS:
Mmm-hmm.

- CALEB:
What was your result?

- TRIS:
What was yours?

- ANDREW:
Why did you just leave

without telling anybody?

- TRIS:
I was sick.

- ANDREW:
Beatrice...

I don't think you understand the

level of scrutiny we're under.

- NATALIE:
They're doing everything they

can to discredit us right now.

- TRIS:
Who is?

- NATALIE:
Erudite.

They believe that they should be

the governing faction, not us.

Andrew- So you have to be careful

right now, okay?

- NATALIE:
Even Marcus is under attack.

TRIS:
For what?

- ANDREW:
It's an old accusation.

That he mistreated his son

and that's why the boy defected.

- TRIS:
Is that true?

- NATALIE:
No.

'Course not.

Children defect for

all kinds of reasons.

- ANDREW:
Don't take too long in here. You

need a good night's sleep...

For tomorrow.

I, um...

We love you.

Good night.

NATALIE:
(SOFTLY)

I'm so proud of you, honey.

(SIGHS)

- CALEB:
Beatrice?

- TRIS:
What?

- CALEB:
Tomorrow when we choose...

You have to think of the family.

- TRIS:
Yeah.

- CALEBE:
But you also have to

think of yourself.

MAN:
(ON PA) Factions, please

gather in your assigned areas.

ANDREW:
Morning, Jeanine.

JEANINE:
Good morning, Andrew.

How is Marcus holding up?

ANDREW:
As well as can be expected.

JEANINE:
We need to find out who's

behind these rumors.

NATALIE:
I think we all know who it is.

JEANINE:
If it's someone from Erudite,

I promise I'll find out who.

These are your children. I don't think

I knew they were choosing today.

- What's your name?

CALEB:
I'm... I'm Caleb.

JEANINE:
It's a pleasure to meet you.

- Jeanine Matthews.

And you are?

CALEB:
This is Beatrice.

JEANINE:
Well, you both have a big

decision to make today.

I'm sure your parents will support

whatever choice you make.

TRIS:
That's not supposed to be a choice.

The test should tell us what to do.

JEANINE:
You're still free to choose.

TRIS:
But you don't really want that.

CALEB:
Beatrice...

JEANINE:
I want you to choose who you truly

are and where you truly belong.

Not on a whim. Not because you

wish you were someone you're not.

But because you

honestly know yourself.

I want you to choose wisely.

And I know you will.

(APPLAUSE)

JEANINE:
The faction system

is a living being

composed of cells, all of you.
