Bourne Hackers

Date: 5/1/2016

The dream was playing out in real time and retrospectively. I was watching as if it were a film, following in 3rd person. Two detectives are investigating a suspected kidnapping from a quiet English housing estate as they follow the persons usual route from their home to school/work. Along the way they find a point perfect for the kidnapping. Whilst this is happening I'm also seeing the person walking in their route as if through a haze. I'm filled with tension and suspense as I, like them, have no idea of previous circumstances and feel their paranoia. People walk past them suspiciously but then carry on walking. Other faces are obscured throughout - are they being followed? I imagine the hacker as Emile Hirsch. He's on his mobile talking to a friend waiting to rendezvous with him at a bus stop a few miles away (both are American). He knows the phone has been hacked but needs to make the call - wants to know (in code) if his friend still has the computer drive with the hidden data. It's revealed they're both in hiding from some shadowy entity (lone person or corporation is unclear). He tells his friend "They're coming. Run!" Not seeing the faces of passers by is adding to tension and paranoia - it's overcast as well. Eventually we switch to the friends point of view as the line goes dead, and he hacks into the phone and tracks it in a moving van to a busy car park where it then also goes off the grid... He hacks into cameras of the car park and witnesses the backs of someone about to be shot before another person comes out of the shadows and shoots the camera first
