Code 46

Code 46

2077 年，世界被分為兩類：一類是居住在高密度城市「內部」的人們，另一類是居住在大規模集中營「外部」的下層階級。透過使用生物護照（在當時的全球洋涇浜語中稱為“papeles”），可以嚴格限制和管制進入城市。
威廉·蓋爾德是 NUSA（新美利堅合眾國，第二次內戰後美國的繼承國）的一名保險欺詐調查員，他被派往中華聯邦（一個佔領整個東亞的專制國家）的上海，採訪一家名為“獅身人面像”的公司的員工，該公司生產 papeles。威廉的任務是找出涉嫌偽造「封面」的員工。在採訪了多位 Sphinx 員工後，他認定一名名叫瑪麗亞·岡薩雷斯 (Maria Gonzalez) 的年輕工人就是偽造者。威廉被她迷住了，他沒有把她交給保安，而是指認另一名員工是偽造者。威廉隨後與瑪麗亞見面並開始了一段戀情。當瑪麗亞睡覺時，威廉在她的房間裡找到一個偽造的蓋子並拿走了。
威廉因未能發現真正的獅身人面像偽造者而受到斥責。他請求派其他人去，因為他指控的無辜男子可能有同謀。然而，他被命令處理該問題並返回上海。
回來後，威廉發現瑪麗亞的公寓已被廢棄，唯一的線索是醫療診所的預約。他來到診所，得知瑪麗亞懷孕了，但由於違反了聯合國法典第 46 條，懷孕被終止。威廉知道這意味著瑪麗亞與他有某種遺傳關係，但他不知道具體原因。
威廉發現瑪麗亞已被基因警察帶走，並抹去了她對這起事件的記憶。他告訴診所瑪麗亞是他詐欺調查的證人，並讓診所將瑪麗亞交給他照顧。她被釋放後，威廉告訴她記憶抹去的事，以及他為什麼沒有舉報她詐騙。瑪莉亞聽到這個消息後感到不安，變得非常苦惱。威廉給了她一顆安眠藥，並在她睡覺時從她頭上剪下一些頭髮，並把它帶到一個可以進行即時 DNA 分析的機構。他發現瑪麗亞是他母親的生物克隆人。威廉決定回家與家人團聚，但由於他的 24 小時保險期已過，因此不被允許這樣做。
威廉這才意識到，他回家的唯一希望就是從瑪麗亞那裡拿到一份文件。她去上班是為了獲得一張文件，但由於她被調到另一個工作領域，所以她自己無法偽造，所以一位同事為她製作了封面。在搭火車去見威廉的途中，她的記憶恢復了，她回想起了對威廉的感情。他決定不離開她。
威廉和瑪麗亞隨後前往阿聯酋的傑貝阿里，無需特殊的旅行許可。兩人躲進舊城區並在那裡訂了一間房間。威廉向瑪麗亞透露，除了記憶被抹去之外，她還受到了“生物條件作用”，因此，當她與導致違反 46 號法典的人發生身體接觸時，她會感到極度恐懼。他沒有告訴她，生物調理也將迫使她向當局報告進一步的 46 號法規違規行為。他們租了一輛舊車，開車離開，以逃避當局透過他們植入的生物護照追蹤他們。威廉為了避免與駱駝和行人相撞而撞毀了汽車，兩人都昏了過去。
威廉在西雅圖 NUSA 的醫院醒來，身邊還有他的妻子和孩子。他不記得瑪麗亞或違反 46 號法規的行為，因為所有關於她和他們在一起的記憶都被成功調查的記憶所取代。瑪麗亞受到了更嚴厲的懲罰，被流放到「外面」的沙漠，但她保留了對威廉的記憶。

In the year 2077, the world is divided between those who live ”inside”, in high-density cities, and the underclass who live ”outside” in massive concentration camps. Access to the cities is highly restricted and regulated through the use of Bio-Passports, known as ”papeles” in the global pidgin language of the day.
William Geld, an insurance fraud investigator from the NUSA (New United States of America, the successor state to the US following a second civil war), is sent to Shanghai in the Chinese Federation, an authoritarian state which occupies all of east Asia, to interview employees at a company known as ”The Sphinx”, which manufactures the papeles. William’s assignment is to identify employees who are suspected of forging ”covers”. After interviewing numerous Sphinx employees, he identifies a young worker named Maria Gonzalez as the forger. William is captivated by her, and instead of turning her over to security, he identifies another employee as the forger. William then meets up with Maria and they begin an affair. As Maria sleeps, William finds a forged cover in her room and takes it.
William is reprimanded for not discovering the true Sphinx forger. He requests that someone else be sent, as there may have been an accomplice to the innocent man he fingered. However, he is ordered to deal with the problem and to return to Shanghai.
Upon his return, William discovers that Maria’s apartment is abandoned and the only clue is a medical clinic appointment. He visits the clinic and learns that Maria was pregnant and that the pregnancy was terminated due to a violation of U.N. Code 46. William knows that this means Maria is somehow genetically related to him, but he has no idea how.
William discovers that Maria has been taken by the Genetic Police to have her memory of the episode erased. He gets the clinic to release Maria into his care by telling them she is a witness in his fraud investigation. After she is released, William tells her about the memory erasure and about how he didn’t report her for fraud. Maria is disturbed by this information and becomes very distressed. William gives her a sleeping pill and, while she is sleeping, he cuts some hair from her head and takes it to a facility providing instant DNA analysis. He discovers that Maria is a biological clone of his mother. William decides to go home to his family, but is not allowed to do so, as his 24-hour cover has expired.
William then realises that his only hope of returning home is to get a papel from Maria. She goes to work to obtain a papel, but is unable to forge one herself, as she was moved to another area of work, so a co-worker makes the cover for her. While taking a train to meet William, her memory returns and she recalls her feelings for William. He decides not to leave her.
William and Maria then travel to Jebel Ali in the UAE, which does not require special travel clearance. The two hide out in the old city where they book a room. William reveals to Maria that, in addition to the memory wiping, she has been ”Bio-Conditioned” so that she suffers extreme fear in response to physical contact with the person who brought about the Code 46 violation. He refrains from telling her the Bio-Conditioning will also force her to report the further Code 46 violation to the authorities. They rent an old car and travel away to escape the authorities who are tracking them through their implanted Bio-Passports. William crashes the car while avoiding a collision with camels and pedestrians and they are both knocked unconscious.
William awakes in the hospital in Seattle, NUSA, with his wife and child. He has no memory of Maria or the Code 46 violation, as all memories of her and their time together have been replaced with memories of a successful investigation. Maria is more severely punished by being exiled ”outside” to the desert, but retains her memories of William.
