Source Code Page #3

Synopsis: Army Captain Colter Stevens finds himself working on a special program where his consciousness can be inserted into another human being. The only catch is can only be there for 8 minutes at any given time. That morning, a bomb exploded on a commuter train just outside Chicago. He occupies the body of teacher going to work on that train and is confused as to what he is doing or why he is there as his last memory is of flying his helicopter on a combat mission in Afghanistan. Those in charge of the program explain to him that there is a bomb on the train, and that he must locate it. More importantly, he must identify the bomber as another bombing is expected later that day. He is also told however that he cannot change the past and can only gather information. As he develops a liking for his traveling companion Christina, he sets out to test that theory.

I pulled her off the train.

Give me her name.

Christina, I don't remember her last name.

Her name is Christina Warren

-Yes!-

She was 28

Died this morning on the train.

No, I pulled her off.

She's fine.

No, she isn't.

-Believe me, she is-

She saw me get hit by the express train.

This isn't us getting anyware.

We have to send him in again. A second attack is imminent, Dr. Brudlegde.

What second attack?

-The train was just the beginning-

A letter of intent.

-I am sorry, what are you telling me here?-

we have information that downton Chicago is the next target

And they're planning to detonate a dirty bomb.

You have any idea how many people would die if

that bomb detonates in the city?

We're evacuating as we speak.

We've to stop that this happens, do you understand?

If you find the bomber, his second attack, his real attack can be prevented.

We have very little time left.

Up here the clocks are only moving in one direction.

Charge the drivers.

On the upper deck of the next carriage

there is a conductor's compartment.

It's a small office containing a safe.

Inside is a loaded handgun.Get to it.

You are authorized to use whatever force necessary.

You're still here.

-Of course I am-

Guess what.

You've quit your job and signed to a law course.

Good guess.

spilled coffee

Listen to me...

Don't answer that, you deserve better than that guy.

Everything looks better in retrospect, doesn't?

How did you know there was

How well do you know me?

-Not that well apparently-

You know me well enough, that you would trust me, if

I am acting a little bit strange or even dangerous, would you do that?

No

Wow, that was honest.

You are beatiful, you're kind,

and you are painfully honest

Who are you and what did you do to Shawn Fentress?

-It's the new me-

I don't want to hurt you.

No I am not gonna sit in my seat.

He is bleeding, he needs medical attention.

Is it true, you tried to steal a gun out

of the train security box?

Careful ma'm!

What were you thinking?

-Can I borrow your phone?

You need to go to the hospital, Shawn.

-Please, I need your phone!-

-

You need help, NO,

why do you want my phone?

What would you do if you had only one minute left to live?

-I don't know-

I would call my dad, I wonna hear his voice

and then tell him, I am sorry

Tell me everything is gonna be ok.

-Everything is gonna be ok-

-Everything is gonna be ok-

Oh yea, the gun in the strongbox, that was a

really great idea. That's for that.

Did you make any progress?

-Can I get access to a phone?-

I need to talk to my father.

I will try to work on that soon.

Yes, I will try....

Dude, how I am doing?

I am just trying to measure my performance here.

have you ever gotten back in?

I am doing any better than you did?

No, we're wasting valueble time here.

No, no, I had never been on the other side

of a source code mission. I wouldn't be viable for it.

Why not?

(CAOC-N, what is that?)

Because the specifactions are extremly narrow.

What are they?

Captain, you should have found the suspect by now.

This tactical advantage, this termendous tool we given you.

Don't waste it by thinking.

Do.

Please contact my father for me.

This will stop at some point, captain.

as soon you finish the mission.

And you doing really great. This will end.

Whoever planted the bomb, had equipment of some kind.

Gloves, screw-driver, flashlight

Check bags, backpacks, briefcases, anything.
