Code 46 Page #4

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

is younger than the others.

- Really?

- Yeah.

- Which one?

- This one.

Do you like it?

Very much.

It's much better than the other fingers.

Definitely.

Maybe I should get them

to grow me a younger face.

No.

I love the sorrows of your changing face.

Or whatever it is.

I haven't seen this book in a while.

"In a friend one should have

one's best enemy...

"and you should be closest to him

when you resist him."

Look.

It's all I've got left from my childhood.

I keep my special memories here.

- Who are they?

- My father and mother.

Before we left Shanghai.

These are people like Damian,

when I give them the papeles.

Now you know all my secrets.

I love to look at their faces.

They're so beautiful.

Look at their eyes.

They have a look

that the rest of us don't have.

You look like them un poco.

You should go to sleep.

I don't want to go to sleep.

Please don't let me sleep.

I'll make you some coffee.

Coffee.

Said I remember

When we used to sit

In a government yard in Trenchtown

And Georgie would make the firelight

Logwood burning through the night

No woman, no cry

No woman, no cry

I was just gonna torture the song

and now you're murdering it.

I'm tone-deaf.

You find that attractive?

Are you leaving?

I'm booked on a flight home.

- What time's your flight?

- 11:
00.

What will happen to Bikku?

He'll lose his cover.

That's bad.

I know it's bad.

You giving out fake papers is bad.

Me letting you off is bad.

Have you ever lived outside?

I was outside for 10 years.

Lo siento.

I have to go.

- I need to stop at the entry checkpoint.

- Why?

I need to get more sherbet fountains.

Hi, mister.

I found this.

I thought you could put it to good use.

Thank you. Gracias. God bless you. Go.

Sorry.

Leave him alone. Thank you, God bless you.

If we had enough information...

we could predict

the consequences of our actions.

Would you want to know?

If you kiss that girl,

if you talk to that man...

if you take that job or marry that woman

or steal that papel?

If we knew what would happen in the end...

would we ever be able to take the first step,

to make the first move?

Hello, I'm home.

- Did you have a good trip?

- It went all right.

Daddy! Where have you been?

They'd be pleased to see you.

Your wife, your special boy.

They'd want to know all your news...

and will be glad to have you home,

safe and sound.

- Want me to guess what you're thinking?

- Yeah.

- Bicycle.

- Si.

I can't answer right now,

so leave a message.

It's William, call me.

Just to let me know you're okay.

Bye.

- Are you tired?

- Yeah.

Did you think about me at all?

Did you try to imagine

what was happening to me?
