Source Code Page #4

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.

What about the rest of me?

I can see my hands and feets.

They still move.

They're in manifistation.

They're just a way of making

sense of all this.

So..what are you saying.

Are you saying that I am imagineing this?

I imagine that ...I still alive that I am in this capusle

Captain, what just happend?

Can I ask you a question?

The capusule is a manifestation as well.

Where am I?

-Thats classified-

F*** you!

Captain I can not imagine what you must

be feeling right now, but if we want to prevent

a second attack, we need to send you back at once

and captain, you can't deviate from

the mission, while inside the source code.

Even to investige your , hmm...

Even to investigate what happend to you.

There is only one continue on this end and it can't

be unsettled

Well I did unsettle it.

I called from the train.

Just before the explosion, so 7:46 this morning

you been informed about my call.

You have made this call from the train,

but I would never receive it here.

It's a different reality, if the call even wenth through

it would be received by a different me entirely.

This may be diffcult for you to hear,

but you are a hand on a clock.

We set you, you will fall.

We reset you, you move again.

And that represents your entire function here.

Next time, I send you a pizza.

I see, if that makes an impression.

You can't change the continuum of this

reality from within the source code.

This can't be legal what you are doing.

In fact your involvment as well as the progamm itself

has been reviewed and sanctioned by a military court.

You know, many soldiers would find

this preferable to death.

The opportunity to continue serving their country.

Have you spend much time in battle, sir?

That's not material.

Any soldier would say, that one death

is service enough.

Fine you can have that in return

for completing this mission.

Have what?

-I give you, what you want..

terminate your service,

let you die

This is taking too lang, you've been to easy on him.

No more rest periods.

I am certain, we can find other service men

with injuries similar to yours who

consider being a part of this programm a honor.

No, no

What?

Send him back.

Charge the drivers.

and captain Stevens

I'd like you to remember that is not only about

you

but it's also about 2 million real world

americans.

Now you may not value your own life,

I do however ask

that you value theirs.

Hey Grandpa

stop.

-calm yourself, you're back-

did you find the bomber?

Hunderts of people on that train.

Well, then check them out one by one.

Doesn't matter what you do to them,

they're already dead.

Get to that gun and shoot them if you have to,

but get us some useable intel.

No, wait.

We have to keep doing this, until you find the bomber.

-Please, I am trying, I am trying-

Who is the bomber?

I am trying.

I am sorry captain, I know

you are exhusted and we all frustarted but

we can not fail. you can do this.

I can't, I can't

-Yes, you can-

You are a born here son.

Even your father thinks so.

Saving people is what you do best.

It was a month or two

I didn't want him to go back

I am just start feeling

that like he didnt want to come home anymore

-Dad!-

He said, he couldn't come home.

and he wouldn't talk to me or hear me.

I guess, that he couldn't leave his unit there

without him and that was that.

Those guys were his family.

I said two things I shouldn't have.

I don't know.

I never fully understood him.

And I can't believe, he is gone.

Send me back in.

Please don't

blow me up again.

Hello?

I know, its you.

I am gonna find you.

Turn around?

Hey there.

Why you look so surprised?

Don't.

Move. move. move back over there.

Move over, put the bag over there.

Now hand me your phone.
