THE WINDOW:

CASTEL hurling himself into the glass and --

EXT. THE PARIS APARTMENT BUILDING -- DAY

WINDOW SHATTERING! -- CASTEL -- in a cloud of broken

glass -- sixty feet above the street --

Falling and falling and...

IMPACT! -- landing on the roof of a parked car and --

INT. THE PARIS APARTMENT -- DAY

THE APARTMENT -- BOURNE in motion -- five things at once --

checking the window -- kicking the gun away -- grabbing the

red bag -- grabbing what he can -- no time to spare and --

THE CONCIERGE:

(still outside the

door--)

(--I'm calling the police, Mr.

Bourne -- you give me no choice --

I'm calling them right away! --)

BOURNE:

-- your shoes -- Marie! -- where? --

where are your shoes? -- Marie --

MARIE standing there in utter shock -- paralyzed -- the

picture in her hand -- the broken glass -- all of what just

happened --

MARIE:

He's dead isn't he?

BOURNE:

Marie -- look at me -- there's no

time for this --

MARIE:

He went out the window -- why? --

why would someone do that?

BOURNE:

-- we can't stay here -- I can't

stay here -- it's not safe here --

MARIE:

He came to kill us.

BOURNE:

-- we can go -- I can get us out of

here -- but we have to go now --

MARIE:

You knew he was coming.

BOURNE:

No.

MARIE:

I trusted you.

BOURNE:

You're wrong. I didn't know.

MARIE:

I don't trust anybody and I trusted

you!

BOURNE:

I didn't know this would happen.

MARIE:

He had my picture! He knew I was

here! He came here to kill us!

BOURNE:

And where is he now?

(that gets her quiet)

You believe what you want, but I'm

telling you the truth -- I never

would have brought you here if I

thought it was dangerous.

MARIE:

(totally overwhelmed)

Oh, Jesus...

BOURNE:

You stay -- if you want, you

stay -- it's okay -- it's better --

maybe it's better -- I don't

know --

(starting to back

away--)

But I can't stay here. I can't.

MARIE:

But the police --

BOURNE:

-- there's no time --

MARIE:

-- we'll explain it --

BOURNE:

-- how? --

MARIE:

-- there's two of us -- we'll tell

them -- we'll just --

BOURNE:

-- forget it --

MARIE:

-- we'll tell them what happened --

BOURNE:

I don't know what happened!

(huge here)

I don't know who he is! I don't

know what he wants! I don't even

know who I am! The only thing I

know is that if I stay here, I'm

never gonna find out!

BOURNE -- that's it -- grabbing the backpack -- pulling it

on -- just about to make his move --

She's standing there. Just utterly swamped. Lost.

BOURNE (CONT'D)

Come with me.

(she turns back, he's

waiting--)

I can get us out of here. I know

it. Then we can think. Then we

can work it out. We'll explain it

then. Once we're safe.

(rock solid)

I can protect you.

EXT. THE PARIS APARTMENT BUILDING -- DAY

A CROWD is gathered around CASTEL'S BODY. Rubberneckers and

people pointing up to the broken window -- THE CONCIERGE

running out to the street and getting the news and THE SOUND

OF SIRENS bleeding in from the distance and --

THE CAMERA PULLS BACK TO FIND

THE LITTLE RED CAR pulling out of the alley. Turning away

from the scene. Disappearing into the streets of Paris --

INT. WOMBOSI COMPOUND MAIN HALLWAY -- DAY

THRONE ROOM DOORS flying open -- WOMBOSI exploding out into

the hallway --

WOMBOSI:

-- No! -- I say, no! -- they go

this far -- out a body in the

grave -- another body! -- no! --

this isn't over -- these people are

not finished -- nothing will make

them finish until they have

Wombosi! -- the real Wombosi --

until I'm the one in the box! --

SIX KIDS -- TWO WIVES -- THREE BODYGUARDS -- all startled by

this steamrolling mass of energy and paranoia --

WOMBOSI:

-- what are you doing? --

(bearing down on

Bodyguard #2--)

-- sleeping? --

(to Deauvage--)

-- he's sleeping! -- this man is

sleeping at his post! --

(kicking the chair

out from under him--)

-- I've had men killed for this! --

(but he's still

moving--)

-- you think these people? -- these

people who come for me -- you think

they sleep? -- they never sleep! --

they spend all the day -- all the

night -- all time thinking about

how to put Wombosi in that box! --

(he's just gonna keep

going, and we're

into--)
