The Bourne Identity Page #15

MARIE:

...what are you doing?...

BOURNE waving her to shut up -- crawl -- now -- back up --

get under the window -- go! --

MARIE -- he seems so sure -- it's weird, but she's doing

it -- she's under that frosted window -- down below the

sill -- looking back -- what the f*** is he doing now? --

BOURNE -- the lightbulb -- he's tossing it across the

room -- over her head -- into that frosted window and --

As she ducks down --

As it SHATTERS --

EVERYTHING STARTS HAPPENING AT ONCE

PHFT!-PHFT!-PHFT!-PHFT!-PHFT!-PHFT! -- silenced automatic

weapons fire -- raking into the apartment and --

THE FROSTED WINDOW peppered with holes and --

MARIE on the floor as THE WINDOW SHATTERS above her and --

CASTEL -- he's in the airshaft! -- hanging from an abseil

rope -- but off guard -- FIRING BLIND -- strafing the

apartment and --

BOURNE kicking that chair across the room and --

CASTEL reacting -- instinct -- moving target --

THE CHAIR just strafed to sh*t and --

BOURNE rolling away and --

CASTEL -- he's coming in -- last pieces of window frame

CRASHING AWAY as he swings into the apartment and --

MARIE -- right below him -- sh*t raining down as he flies in

and --

BOURNE throwing the knife and --

CASTEL -- turning -- too late -- the knife catching him in

the neck and --

BOURNE -- in motion -- attacking and --

CASTEL -- knife impaled in his neck -- clawing for it with

one hand -- trying to get off a shot and --

APARTMENT WALL -- PHFT!-PHFT!-PHFT!-PHFT!-PHFT! -- gunfire

tearing wildly around the room and --

BOURNE -- full-stop -- kicking the gun -- kicking it up --

ROUNDS TEARING ACROSS THE CEILING and --

MARIE -- SCREAMING NOW -- trying to crawl away and --

CASTEL -- no chance -- off balance -- BOURNE -- his open

palm driving up into CASTEL'S JAW -- the body wants to fall

backward, but BOURNE has the guy's arm in his free hand --

jerking it like rope -- tearing it from it's socket and --

THE GUN CLATTERING FREE across the floor and --

BOURNE -- his knee -- like a piston -- hard into CASTEL'S

GUT -- and then down -- his foot -- down into CASTEL'S KNEE,

shattering it and --

CASTEL is on the floor -- stunned -- wiped -- knife pouring

blood from his neck -- arm hanging like a rag doll -- bone

torn through his pant leg above the knee and --

MARIE:

omigod -- omigod -- what're you

doing? -- what're you doing? --

(incoherent fear and

confusion, German and

English and--)

-- what is he? -- what've you? --

omigod -- what is this? --

BOURNE ignoring her -- grabbing the guy's backpack --

MARIE (CONT'D)

-- what're you doing? -- Jason,

please, tell me what's happening!

BOURNE:

Open it --

(tossing Castel's

backpack behind him--)

-- do it -- what's he got in there?

CASTEL -- eyes wild -- tries to make his feet --

BOURNE (CONT'D)

Who are you?

(kicking him down--)

-- who are you?

CASTEL -- crablike against a wall -- bloody hands leaving a

mess as he struggles to get to his feet --

BOURNE:

-- who are you? -- tell me who you

are -- who sent you? --

(bearing down)

-- what is this about? -- YOU'VE

GOT TO TELL ME WHAT THIS IS ABOUT! --

CASTEL -- staring back -- eyes wild -- mouth shut -- his

expression -- is it terror or pure steel? --

BOURNE (CONT'D)

WHY ARE YOU TRYING TO KILL ME?

MARIE:

(suddenly from behind)

...omigod, no...

MARIE -- the guy's backpack -- something in her hand -- and

as freaked out as she was a moment ago -- this is worse --

BOURNE:

What? -- what? --

(attention split--)

-- what is it?

MARIE:

...this is my picture... he's got

my picture --

(holding it up, in

horror--)

-- this is me -- this is Zurich --

this...this...this is yesterday --

BOURNE:

-- just --

MARIE:

-- where does this come from? --

(to Castel)

How do you have my picture?

BOURNE:

Marie, just --

(waving her back--)

-- just stay there! -- just --

MARIE:

-- he's got my picture! -- this is

yesterday! -- this is me! --

(out of control now--)

-- where did you get my picture? --

BOURNE:

-- let me do this, okay? --

MARIE:

-- do what? -- what are you

doing? -- he's got my picture --

(just apoplectic--)

-- he's -- my God -- look at him --

he's bleeding to death -- my

picture -- look! -- he was trying

to kill us! -- omigod --

Now there's KNOCKING AT THE DOOR and --

THE CONCIERGE:

(muffled but urgent)

(Mister Bourne! Mister Bourne!

What's going on? Is everything all

right in there? --)

(and she keeps

banging and--)

MARIE is past the point of rationality and CASTEL is

bleeding and shaking and BOURNE is trying to think and it's

just impossible and --

Suddenly -- CASTEL is moving! -- and fast -- it's

superhuman -- unbelievable -- just enough spring in his good

leg and --

BOURNE bracing himself but --

CASTEL isn't attacking! -- he's running away -- he's

crossing the living room -- but there's nowhere to go --

absolutely nowhere -- except --
