## Plot

Michele and the others discover another side to Ezequiel as he retraces his turbulent journey from Process No. 80 to the present.

## Summary

Joana and Michele run to a hideout. When they arrive, Ezequiel tells Michele she must do and say exactly what he says. She pretends that Joana left her alone, and he tells her to make Joana show her the bomb when she returns. She writes a note to tell Joana know Ezequiel is threatening her brother. Ezequiel hears noise on Michele's end and realizes Joana is there and Michele is betraying him.

Rafael takes a scarf from Ivana's hair before Marcela can see. Marcela tells him Ivana was a leader in the Cause. Marcela asks if he's ever noticed suspicious behavior from Michele and if he thinks she's involved. He saw he doesn't know. He just heard voices. Rafael remembers Michele calling him a traitor and tells Marcela there was a voice that sounded a lot like Michele's.

Michele continues to write out messages for Joana. They hear someone coming in and Michele hides. Silas comes in and asks Joana where the infiltrators are. He blames her for Ivana's death. Joana tells him Michele's on their side. Silas asks if she said anything about the bomb. Silas realizes that she's planning to tell Michele something and looks around for Michele. He says they have to kill Michele. Michele, from hiding, calls out to Ezequiel. Silas finds Michele, who says she's on his side. Ezequiel appears behind Silas and points a gun at him. He makes all three of them line up to the side. He sees the notes Michele wrote to Joana. He tells them he's there to save the Cause.

**Year of Process 80**

Young Ezequiel speaks at a Cause meeting, saying how he's planning to infiltrate the Process and destroy the system from the inside. His idea is dismissed and he sits back down.

The Cause leader, Mário, finds Ezequiel when he's sleeping and tells Ezequiel to come with him, saying the committee liked his idea. Once he's in a room with the leader, he learns that the committee approved his idea, but he won't be the infiltrator. The know he can pass, which is why they need him in the Inland. The Offshore is full of temptation. Ezequiel says he's going and they can't stop him. The leader threatens him with a knife and says they can't risk it all with him. He's not special. Ezequiel attacks him with a lamp and runs out.

Ezequiel goes through his process. He's in a test where card holders have to determine who has red and who has blue. The red holder will only pass if no one points to them. They start discussing what card they have. Ezequiel refuses to participate and says to vote for whoever they want. Ezequiel notes that Róger, another participant, didn't eat any grapes. No one from the Inland would pass up a chance to eat some. He also has the same ring mark as the others. He's not a real candidate, so he got red. The inside man in this test always gets the red card.

After the test, Nair congratulates Ezequiel, saying that testers often figure out who got the red card, but no one has ever figured out it was an inside man. Ezequiel calls it luck, but Nair calls it merit. She tells him to come see her when he gets through.

**Year of Process 105**

Marcela and Cássia review what they know. They break into Ezequiel's station to find out what he's hiding from them. They hear the audio of Ezequiel talking to Joana, Michele, and Silas.

Ezequiel tells the others how he grew up in the orphanage where the Cause was founded. Michele tells them not to listen to him as he's a manipulator. Ezequiel says if he wanted to eliminate the Cause, they'd be dead already. He's there to come clean. The Cause is far from perfect. Michele should understand that most of all. Back then, the Offshore gave him everything and all he had to do was forget everything the Cause put into him. He kept it hidden far away. He convinced himself the world was right. Julia didn't want to talk about the past and neither did he, so they left it all behind. Who wouldn't want that? But the past always haunts you.

Ezequiel visits the old man in his cell and tells him Michele betrayed him. Now they've switched places and the old man is in the cage. But the old man won't burn him with a lamp. He tells Ezequiel again that he's nothing special. He's just another lonely man.

Ezequiel sees Julia walking around and follows her, but she disappears. He enters a room with water pouring into it. Ezequiel is in a meeting when someone comes in and tells him they found his wife's body.

Ezequiel climbs over rocks and asks if they're sure it's her. Her DNA and dental records match. Her body was stuck between rocks. He goes to look at her. Ezequiel learns that her body won't be buried on the Offshore because she killed herself. He gets her ashes and spreads them in the water.

Ezequiel tells the others that Julia couldn't handle it, the division of the world. The Process was a dream that died and now he wants to burn it all down. He's there to end the Process for Julia. He recites something and Silas recognizes it as the letter from the old man. They wouldn't accept his help, but they would trust the old man, so he had to replace the letter the old man left him. Joana knew it was Ezequiel all along. It'll solve two problems at once. It'll scare future candidates off and it'll eliminate the Council.

Ezequiel invites Nair and the rest of the Council to attend the opening of the Process in person.

Once the bomb is detonated, Marcela will be punished. Then he'll convince the Offshore their only way forward is a reconciliation with the Inland. He's been training a successor for months to help, Michele, and someone on the Inland with direct contact to the Cause, Joana. They'll be the New Founders. He sent Michele out because of Joana. Everything was fine until she was caught on camera stealing the fertilizer. Marcela increased security in a way that will easily detect the bomb. Silas thinks he's a traitor. Michele pulls a gun on Ezequiel, who tells her to give Silas the flask. It won't stop the bomb, but it'll make it invisible to the scanners. The ring with it will give them access to the building as it opens all doors. Michele and Joana don't believe him. Ezequiel tells them the plan will go forward whether they like it or not. For the Cause. Silas agrees. Ezequiel is the only chance they have left. Ezequiel says he and Michele need to get back before sunrise or she can't complete her mission. He takes her hand and they leave.

Marcela orders the perimeter of the building closed.

Ezequiel and Michele rush to evade capture and get back. On their way, they're confronted by Marcela. Ezequiel pretends to have captured Michele, but Marcela knows it's a lie. She stabs Ezequiel and then slits his throat, killing him. As he dies, Ezequiel sees Julia.

Michele runs away as Marcela uses Ezequiel's blood to write a message on his chest.

Michele gets back to Joana and tells her they were intercepted. Michele and Joana race through town and hear someone screaming that the Cause killed the Process leader. They see Ezequiel's body hanging with the Cause symbol on his chest. Michele realizes she can't go back.

Silas cries as he covers Ivana's body.

Members of the Offshore watch a parachute come in.

Silas prepares Ivana's body.

The pod on the parachute goes into a hole labeled with Ezequiel's name and the crowd applauds. Marcela speaks to the crowd, saying she's shocked by what happened.

Rafael burns the scarf he took from Ivana's hair and throws it in the water.

Ivana's body is burned and Silas speaks to the others in the Cause, saying Ivana was killed by a traitor to the Cause.

Marcela has heard talk of cancelling the Process, but she wonders what the Founding Couple would think of that. She calls on them to complete the Process as always. She steps up to lead the mission and says the war is starting now.
