EXT. BELLEVILLE -- QUIET STREET -- DAY

And BOURNE and MARIE are hurrying down this street when --

BAM -- The PROFESSOR comes out of a building -- across and

down the street. No time to hide -- he's seen them --

he's FIRING.

BOURNE tackles MARIE to the ground behind a car. RATATAT --

The PROFESSOR is literally shredding it. And now BOURNE is

moving --

MARIE:

What are you doing?

And BOURNE is on the offensive. BAM! BAM! Moving towards

the PROFESSOR who is ducking behind cars on the other side.

They are shredding the street -- FIRING ruthlessly at each

other and -- NOW THE POLICE ARE HERE -- BLOCKING both ends

of the street. GUNS are drawn -- BOURNE's vulnerable on two

flanks. The COPS are YELLING. And now --

THE PROFESSOR BLASTS the COPS -- And now things have changed.

THREE WAY FIREFIGHT and BOURNE grabs MARIE and they dive

into --

INT. SMALL EPICERIE -- DAY

And the PROFESSOR shreds the store as BOURNE attemps to

fire back. SH*T flying everywhere in here -- hard to see

and -- The PROFESSOR is advancing on them -- cops are no

match for his fire power. They move to the back -- kick

open a door --

INT. HIGHWALLED COURTYARD -- DAY

BOURNE and MARIE cross this small courtyard, the PROFESSOR

is right on their heels. CRASH through a door -- and now

they are in --

INT. SMALL SWEATSHOP -- DAY

COUPLE of ASIAN WOMEN sewing in here. One MAN in charge --

and BOURNE and MARIE charging through -- the MAN about to

say something -- but now the PROFESSOR is on their tail and --

INT. SMALL AFRICAN SHOP -- DAY

Making god knows what in here -- vats of something. Small

grouping of workers -- BOURNE shutting the door behind

him -- it's shredded with BULLET HOLES. BOURNE and MARIE

racing to the next door as -- BAM -- the PROFESSOR kicks the

door open -- BOURNE about to fire -- but there is a WOMAN

right behind the PROFESSOR! Can't do it -- turns to run

as -- RATATATAT --

The PROFESSOR FIRES as BOURNE and MARIE dive into --

INT. LIVE POULTRY SHOP -- DAY

And now CHICKEN feathers are flying everywhere -- the glass

at the front of the door is shattering. BOURNE and MARIE

make it through the gauntlet.

EXT. BELLEVILLE -- STREET -- DAY

And BOURNE and MARIE are running. And he is reaching into

his pocket -- fishing around -- and just as he pulls out the

car keys -- we recognize this as the street they parked

their car on and --

BY MARIE's CAR

BOURNE unlocks the door -- pops MARIE's open. And --

THERE'S A COP -- yelling at them and -- BOURNE hits the

gas -- they fly out of their parking space -- BAM!! The COP

fires, shattering their windshield and there -- up ahead --

THE PROFESSOR coming out -- about to FIRE -- BOURNE aims for

him -- forces him to dive out of the way and --

ONE QUICK MOVE around a TRUCK and they are free.

INT. THE LITTLE RED CAR

BOURNE and MARIE looking back nervously -- so far all over --

ON THE STREET:

The PROFESSOR looking around. PEOPLE staring at him --

covered in blood -- the COP racing up -- yelling -- not

yelling for long because the PROFESSOR is firing at him and --

Now the PROFESSOR is moving -- not running -- just a swift

walk and now he's past the truck -- and --

A MOTORCYCLIST comes flying down the street -- oblivious --

going way too fast for these streets and -- the PROFESSOR

swings his gun stock like a bat -- takes him out -- clean

and smooth -- bike crashing to the ground and --

The PROFESSOR grabs the bike and takes off -- SHOOTING at

TWO POLICE CARS just racing to the scene and we are into --

EXT. BELLEVILLE BLVD -- DAY

HIGH SPEED CAR CHASE. And BOURNE better do some fancy

driving because here comes the PROFESSOR -- and he's a lot

faster -- much better armed.

INT. MARIE'S CAR

BOURNE driving. MARIE looking back -- seeing the PROFESSOR

gain on them --

MARIE:

xxxxxx

BOURNE:

xxxxxx

And -- THE PROFESSOR FIRES -- SHREDS the back off their car --

MARIE:

Give me the gun --

And now she's got his shotgun, leaning out the window.

BOURNE:

Wait 'till he's close.

BOURNE swerves, up on the sidewalk back onto the street --

slaloms through the traffic -- racing towards an intersection

and --

IN THE INTERSECTION

CARS coming the other way, BOURNE just makes it through --

the PROFESSOR tries to squeeze through -- skidding and --

CRACK! The PROFESSOR hits the front of a car sideways on

his bike -- he is THROWN clear through the intersection,

right into the windshield of an oncoming car and --

He gets up, grabs his gun and works his way towards his bike

and now we see --

EXT. VARIOUS SHOTS AROUND PARIS -- DAY

COPS are mobilizing -- swarming into this area and --

BACK TO THE CAR CHASE --

BOURNE and MARIE pick up a few cops on their tail -- shed

all of them -- the last car goes into an EXPLOSIVE FLIP --

the PROFESSOR is now right behind them. And now we are into --

CRAZY CAR CHASE WITH COPS RIGHT ON THEIR TAIL

BOURNE, MARIE and the PROFESSOR leave a trail of totaled

cars that the cops have to try and navigate through --

finally saying f*** it and hitting a few cars themselves and

now we are into --

CAR CHASE THROUGH NARROW STREETS

MARIE'S CAR and the MOTORCYCLE can pass where the police

cars cannot. BOURNE may be able to shed the cops, but not

the PROFESSOR. And now one quick move and they are --

EXT. QUAI -- DAY

Racing against traffic up the Seine. Past the Louvre. COPS

pursuing on the other side of the river. BOURNE and the

PROFESSOR leaving behind a trail of carnage. And now --

The PROFESSOR is pulling up along side them -- one lane over.

Both swerving to avoid oncoming cars and --

MARIE FIRES -- TWICE -- TAKES out a few windshields. The

PROFESSOR fires at the same time -- MARIE'S CAR DOOR --

GONE -- she's totally exposed but --
