Code 46 Page #5

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

but get it today, yeah?

It's a single exit cover.

Valid for today only.

Seattle flights leave from Zone C.

I do remember you.

From a dream.

From my birthday dream.

You should go home.

No.

Two for Jebel Ali.

- Which flight, sir?

- Next flight.

Do you have cover?

I'm resident here.

Sorry, I forgot. It's my new finger.

Okay. Thanks for choosing

Pan Worldwide Airways.

Have a safe journey.

I'd always dreamt of Jebel Ali.

The Jebel Ali of my father's stories.

He told me you could do anything there,

as long as you wanted it enough.

You know what?

Every time I ever imagined this,

I always imagined being with you.

Even though we'd never met.

- You okay?

- Yeah.

We're looking for a place to stay.

Come, we are going, come.

You've never been al fuera.

So I could be your guide, your teacher.

Three pakoras.

We're looking for a room. We have cover.

No one has cover for over here.

You can't buy cover for here.

- Residents sleep at their own risk.

- But we can have a room?

A room, food, a game of chess.

There's a shower through there.

You're covered in dust.

It will be noisy, lo siento.

That doesn't matter.

We'll sleep through anything.

We're so tired.

- Have you come a long way?

- Yes.

My wife made that.

Before she passed on.

Maybe think about her un poco

before you sleep.

Pleasure to have you.

Will you put this on?

- Does your wife look like you?

- No.

How did you meet?

We worked together until we had Jim.

You must miss him.

Yes.

Sing.

What?

I want to hear you sing.

I can't sing.

I'm sorry.

It's okay. It's not your fault.

It's viral.

The Sphinx...

gave you a virus.

What, like an anti-William virus?

It's involuntary. It's like adrenaline.

When you're...

scared of something,

your body gets ready to run away.

I'm not scared of you.

I know. But your body is.

I want you to make love to me.

Make me make love to you.

I love you.

You must have known

the way the virus works.

Was there nothing you could do to stop me?

I need to make a call.

- All calls are logged.

- That's okay.

- Phone is la-bas.

- Gracias.

My name is Maria Gonzalez,

and I'm reporting a Code 46 violation.

Gracias. What is your location?

- What is this address?

- 168 Shada Perrera.

- Please wait there.

- I'll be right here.

Wake up.

Come on.

- We have to go.

- No, I want to stay here forever.

See? I can kiss you now.

We have to go. Come on.

- Something's happened.

- Okay.

We need a car. Can you help?

Cars are expensive here.

Even more than in the city.

I've got these.

I need money. People have to eat.

That's all I've got.

Not enough.

Hey, Sono, take them to the sierat shop.

Tell Farrukh to give them a Padmini.

- Thank you.

- You're welcome.

I love you.

Okay, all right.

That's enough playing now. Stop.

You went before a tribunal.

They decided the empathy virus

had affected your judgment.

So they took away your memory of me.

Just like they had wiped my memory of you.

What does he remember about the crash?

He knows he went to Shanghai.

He solved the case.

On the way to the airport,

he crashed the hired car.

As far as he's concerned,

he never went to Jebel Ali.

- I'll leave you alone.

- Thank you.

I've missed you.

Me, too.

It's good to see you.

I've brought you some clothes.

Daddy!

Where have you been?

Daddy did a silly thing.

I crashed a car

but the doctors fixed him up real good.

What am I thinking?

I don't know.

Boats. I'm thinking about boats.

Row, row, row your boat

gently down the stream

Merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily,

life is but a dream

I was exiled because I tried

to cheat the Sphinx.

They left me my memories.

They don't care what you think

if you're al fuera.

Why bother?

To them, it's as though we don't exist.

Feels good.

I miss you.
