Since the source code is arranged according to reality, no matter how it is changed, it is inevitable that all the people will die in the end.
Above these parallel universes is the real world (one layer), and the sequence of events in one layer is:
1. Air Force killed in Afghanistan
2. Train explodes

4. Radical The molecule was caught by the police
5.Goodwin couldn't bear to delete Capitan's memory, destroying the source code
6.Capitan died in

1.The source code has not been enabled 2.Due
to In the first layer of the universe, Goodwin destroyed the source code at the last second. So things after 8 minutes are completely free from the constraints of the source code. Capitan stops the train from exploding and starts a new life with Cristina.
