Aeon Flux

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.

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.

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.
