Code 46 Page #2

Synopsis: Code 46 is a love story set in a Brave New World-type near-future where cities are heavily controlled and only accessible through checkpoints. People cannot travel unless they have "papeles" (papers in Spanish; words and sentences in many languages, especially Spanish, French and Chinese are mixed with English in this new world), a special travel permit issued by the totalitarian government, the "Sphinx". Outside these cities, the desert has taken over and shanty towns are jammed with non-citizens - people without IDs forced to live primitive lives. William is a family man who works as a government investigator. When he is sent to Shanghai to solve a case of fake IDs, he meets a woman named Maria. Although he realizes she is behind the forgeries, he cannot help but fall completely in love with her. He hides her crime and they have a wild, passionate affair that can only last as long as his visa: 24 hours. Back home, William is obsessed with the memory of Maria. When the original invest

She's tone-deaf.

She can't hold a tune to save her life.

That's beautiful, don't you think?

- What are you thinking?

- I'm thinking, "Have we met before?"

Upstairs, the foyer,

we almost bumped into each other.

I feel I know you.

Come on. One thing about yourself.

I'm not sure I want you to know

something about me.

Anyway, I can never think of anything

when people ask me straight out comme ca.

You want to prompt me?

- It won't work if I prompt you.

- What won't work?

Tell me what you're doing later tonight.

- Is that a question or an invitation?

- It's a prompt.

Tonight, I am going to stay awake...

until the sun goes down.

I'm not going to sleep.

Pourquoi?

It's my birthday.

Happy birthday.

I'm gonna need to take your information

for future reference.

It's difficult.

When you can get a big dinero

for a piece of paper...

it's a big temptation.

Are you sure it's him?

- I thought it might be her.

- I don't think so.

Do you have evidence?

I don't need to give you evidence.

It's intuition you're paying for.

You okay?

Bueno. Absolutely.

- Am I under surveillance?

- No.

So what? Do you wanna go out with me?

It's your birthday.

Don't you have other plans?

I have to meet someone later,

but I'm hungry.

- Let's go and eat.

- All right.

I was never scared of you.

Even when I should have been.

Even though my fate was in your hands,

I always trusted you.

Why did you do it?

For the money. Why did you do it?

- What?

- Lie for me.

I don't know.

It's very impulsive.

I can be impulsive.

- Happy birthday.

- I love these.

How did you know? Is that on my file?

- Lucky guess.

- Fate.

Actually, I have a whole bag full of them.

For my kid.

- You have a kid?

- Yeah.

- Chico or chica?

- Chico.

Jim. His name is Jim.

I bet he's very special.

He is special.

Everybody's children are so special.

It makes you wonder where

all the ordinary grown-ups come from.

These are good.

You wanna come to a club?

Don't you have to meet someone?

- Come. I want you to.

- Why?

Because I want to corrupt you.

If you come, there's a definite risk

that you'll have a good time.

And if you don't come with me,

then you'll regret it.

Come on.

Come on.

- Drink?

- Vodka, rocks, please.

- Would you like to sing?

- No.

- Are you sure?

- No. I'm sure.

You don't wanna hear me sing.

- I was actually hoping to hear you sing.

- Why?

Someone told me

that you have a very distinctive voice.

What else did they say about me

behind my back?

You can take a virus

to make you more musical.

Gives you perfect pitch.

You sing like an angel.

I tried a virus once for Mandarin Chinese.

Chinese people knew what I was saying,
