source code - 02 - i am dead
Transcript
00:00Am I dead?
00:08A radio listing is saying that I died in a helicopter crash in country and my father received a medical...
00:13Your condition is not the issue here.
00:15You need to focus on preventing any subsequent attacks. Everything else is irrelevant.
00:19A news report saying that I'm dead is irrelevant?
00:22Until the person or persons who blew up that train are in custody, yes.
00:28Goodwin.
00:32One soldier to another. Am I dead?
00:45Part of your brain remains activated.
00:50What about the rest of me? I can see my hands and my feet. They still move.
00:54They are a manifestation. They're just your way of making sense of all this.
00:59So what are you saying? Are you saying that I'm imagining this?
01:03I'm imagining that I'm still alive? That I'm in this capsule?
01:13Okay, core temp dropping.
01:25No!
01:46Captain, what just happened?
01:54I asked you a question.
01:58The capsule is a manifestation as well.
02:02Where am I?
02:04That's classified.
02:06Fuck you!
02:11Captain, I cannot imagine what you must be feeling right now.
02:15But if we're to prevent a second attack, we need to send you back immediately.
02:19And, Captain, you cannot deviate from the mission while inside the source code,
02:24even to investigate your...
02:27even to investigate what happened to you.
02:29There's only one continuum on this end, and it cannot be unsettled.
02:33Well, you know what? I did unsettle it. I called you from the train.
02:38Just before the explosion. So, 746 this morning, they paged you with a call from...
02:42You may have made that call from the train, but I would never receive it here.
02:46It's a different reality, Captain.
02:48If the call even went through, it would be received by a different me entirely.
02:54This may be difficult for you to hear, but you are a hand on a clock.
02:58Understand? We set you, you move forward. We reset you, you move again.
03:02And that represents the entirety of your function here.
03:05You know what? Next time I'll send you a pizza. I'll see if that makes an impression.
03:09You cannot alter the continuum of this reality from within the source code.
03:14This can't be legal, what you're doing.
03:16In fact, your acquisition by this program, as well as the program itself,
03:19has been reviewed and sanctioned by military court.
03:23You know, many soldiers would find this preferable to death.
03:29The opportunity to continue serving their country.
03:33Have you... Have you spent much time in battle, sir?
03:37Huh?
03:38It's immaterial.
03:41Any soldier I've ever served with would say that one death is service enough.
03:45Fine. You can have that in return for completing this mission.
03:49Well, have what?
03:51I'll give you what you want. Terminate your service. Let you die.
03:58This is taking too long. You've been too easy on him. No more rest periods.
04:03I am certain we can find other servicemen with wounds similar to yours
04:07who would consider being a part of this program an honor.
04:11What? No, no, no, no, no, no, no. Wait. Wait, what?
04:14Send him back.
04:17Charge the drivers.
04:23And, Captain Stevens, I'd like you to remember that it's not only about you,
04:29but it's also about two million real world Americans now.
04:32You may not value your own life.
04:34I do, however, ask that you value theirs.
