Chapter XXXVII

The group (Tris, Caleb, Marcus and Tris’s father) begin running away from Abnegation’s sector of the city and toward the railroad tracks. Tris shows the group how to jump onto the train and figures out that the back entrance to Dauntless is the safest way in. Marcus tells her she must regret choosing Dauntless but Tris tells him no – she had some things to learn.  Her father asks if it was bravery and she says:

“How to be selfless, “ I say.  “Often they’re the same thing.”

As they reach the glass building above the Pit, Tris tells them they will need to jump onto the roof.  She realized that it was one of the hardest things she had done at the time, but now it seems like nothing after all she’s faced since then. It's amazing how far Tris has come. The jump was the biggest thing she had ever done and now it's nothing to her. The group make it to the roof and then Tris tells them they need to make another jump into the net. Tris has developed a plan during their journey and leads them down the hallway that leads to the Pit. She realizes there are guards around and tells the group to stay put while she checks it out.  She runs into Peter who isn’t one of the sleepwalkers and injures him enough to get a gun to his head. She finds out he didn’t take the serum as he was already murderous. She shoots him in the arm to get him to talk and tell her what she needs to know.  He says he will if she takes him with her which she realizes she has no choice. It's about time Tris gets revenge. When Peter almost killed her after the second stage of training, it made me angry. The rest rejoin Tris and Peter directs them to the 8^th floor of the glass building.  As they make their way, Tris argues with her father over choices she’s made.  Caleb stops the argument and they focus on their task – which Tris asks her father if she should let the guards go ahead and kill her.  Her father says to go and “God help you”.  Tris kills and injures the guards as she makes her way, but one guard helps her.  She realizes he must be Divergent.  The group then follows but Tris wants Caleb and Marcus to stay behind with Peter as she knows she probably won’t be returning alive. Tris and her father enter the elevator and go up to the 8^th floor where guards await. Tris shoots the guards and others run down the left hallway which makes Tris think this is the direction of the control room. Her father then jumps out of the elevator, taking the right hallway so the Dauntless guards follow him. I can't wait to see what the movie does with this scene. There are so many possibilities the director can do with this. Hopefully there will be a trailer for it. He is shot but keeps firing at the guards, taking them all down.  As he is dying, Tris looks at his eyes and he appears to say something but dies. He was another great Abnegation and parent. Tris knows she has to keep going to save Abnegation members and enters the control room, looking at walls of screens showing various parts of the city. Then in front of the screen is a Dauntless soldier, Tobias.
