The Bourne Identity

Someone there?

Who's in this room?

Damn. l'd hoped you'd be English.

Where am l?

You're in Port Noir.

This little village on the

south coast of France.

lt's a village without boutique or. . .

. . .Club Med or T-shirts.

We've managed to avoid

the 20th century.

lntend to be dead before the 21 st.

lt's quite a trick.

Who are you?

Who, me?

l'm the doc, Geoffrey Washburn.

The doc.

And you?

We should tell the authorities. People

may be looking for you. Who are you?

Where do you live?

l need to know where to send

my outrageous bill.

lt's a miracle you're alive, old son.

My head. l gotta sleep.

-Just your name.

-Huh?

You do have a name?

My name. . . .

My name is. . . .

l have no idea.

My God! l don't know!

Sometimes, with rest,

everything comes back.

And sometimes, nothing more

than bits and pieces. Ever.

Trouble is, you see, l. . .

. . .l'm not a brain surgeon. l may have

disconnected some wiring in there.

-Fishing out bullets.

-Bullets?

lt won't help to concentrate.

Relax. Let images float in. Let the

subconscious mind have a chance.

This boat, what happened to it? Why

was l on it? Somebody shot me. Why?

-l have to remember.

-lt won't work that way.

There was no report of a trawler lost,

or any boat lost.

What else?

Nightmares.

As violent as anything l've seen.

The kids from the village come

to watch, no commercials.

ln them, you speak French, Spanish,

German and something Oriental.

Can't remember those.

-And, you've undergone plastic surgery.

-Plastic surgery?

Your nose, chin, cheekbones

have been worked on.

-What?

-Originally you looked different.

-l must've been in an accident.

-l don't think so.

The scars would be more like

the scars on your body.

Most of them 1 2, 1 5 years old.

Scars, l'd guess, from bullets,

shrapnel, that sort of thing.

A war?

Maybe. But, you see, the trouble is,

you've been sewn up. . .

. . .better than any army normally

sews up its boys.

lt's all very peculiar.

How will l find out who l am if

l've been turned into somebody else?

Geoff, l don't know what to do.

Help me.

-Break it down. Fast!

-What?

Break it down!

How did l know how to do that?

l don't know.

Three Cuban diplomats

were expelled from the country...

...in connection with the search

for the terrorist called Carlos.

Carlos is wanted for questioning...

...in the assassination

of U.S. Ambassador Leland.

Carlos has been linked with...

... the Japanese Red Army,

the West German Bader-Meinhof Gang...

... the Organization for Armed

Arab Struggle and the Turkish PLO....

Carlos was seen

in Beirut and London.

That's the world news

from Radio Luxembourg.

Does the name. . .

. . .Carlos mean anything to you?

-Nothing. Should it?

-You're sure?

Vague feelings? Anything?

Carlos.

-l don't know. Vague feelings.

-Yes?

Feelings of. . .?

Danger.

Something.

l don't know, Geoff. Who's Carlos?

Just a name.

Why here, Geoff,

when you're so good?

They said l was drunk.

They say l killed two patients on the

operating table because l was drunk.

l could've gotten away with one,

but not two.

They said they saw a pattern emerging,

so they kicked me out.

Don't give a man like me a knife

and cloak it in respectability.

What say--

He recognized me. He knows me.

Stop! l want to talk to you!

Stop a minute, will you?

Come on!

Stop!

They said you were hard to kill.

Hey, you! Get out of here!

Get out of here, now!

-You all right?

-l've got to catch him.

He knows me.

You're not well. Whoever

wants you dead will be back.

We must get you out of this village.

lt's not safe for you here anymore.

Pere Jacques will pick you up. He owes

me. He'll get you to Marseilles.

-And, here.

-What's this?

What money l've got. lt's a start.

-Geoff, l can't take--

-l don't need it. A passport as well.

Pere Jacques knows a man

who'll alter it.

lt wasn't enough to save me?

The most interesting work l've done in

years. l've got an investment in you.

l won't forget this.

l have been keeping back a crucial

piece of the puzzle. . .

. . .waiting for you to get stronger.

Now we're out of time. Come look.

-What am l looking for?

-Tell me what you see.

-Microfilm. Numbers.

-And above the numbers?

''Gemeinschaft Bank Zurich. ''

l don't understand.

ln Switzerland, numbers are the same

as a signature on a bank account.

-Where'd you get this?

-From your hip.

lt had been surgically implanted.

You didn't tell me?

You know what this means?

-l presume it--

-ln this bank, with these numbers. . .

-. . .that's where the answers are.

-Answers are overrated anyway.

There he is. Now, you better hurry.

-l'll be back.

-l'm not going anywhere.

Good luck.

What are the good hotels in Zurich?

There's the Ritz, the Palace,

the Carillon du Lac.

Carillon du Lac.

-The Carillon du Lac.

-lt's very exclusive.

-lf you don't have--

-Take me there.

lt's your money.

lt's good to see you again, sir.

lt's been a while.

Yes, l guess it has.

Do me a favor, l sprained my hand.

Could you fill in the registration?

lt's not a problem, sir.

Want me to call the hotel doctor?

Not now. Perhaps later.

l do need your signature,

and your passport.

Something wrong, Mr. Bourne?

My passport's at the bottom

of my case. l'll get it later.

Yes, sir. l'll get the key.

l assume you'll require the usual

conditions for your stay with us?

Perhaps. How did you understand them?

Whoever phones for you is to be told

you're out, and you're informed of it.

The one exception is your employer,

Treadstone 71 . Correct?

l won't forget your efficiency.

You've always been more than generous.

l'm sick of all this, Peter.

l want to get married, have a baby. . .

. . .learn to play the saxophone.

You always say that before you give

a paper. You'll be a star.

-And you won't be here.

-Marie.

-Thank you.

-l don't want to leave. l have to.

France expelled three Cuban

diplomats in connection...

... with the search for a man

called Carlos...

...believed to have assassinated

U.S. Ambassador Howard Leland.

Ambassador Leland was shot through the

throat by a gunman with a rifle.

lf there's nothing for Treadstone 71 ,

try Treadstone without the number.

--irrespective of political ideology.

Did you try ''company''

or ''corp. '' or ''inc. ''?

What about two words, separated?

''Tread Stone. ''

--and John Phillips,

British member of Parliament.

There must be a listing, operator.

How about the boroughs outside

Manhattan? Queens? Brooklyn?

l don't know what sort of

business they're in. Sorry.

lnvestment banking? Securities?

Look, could l persuade you to

check the unlisted book?

ls the number there?

You don't have to say the actual--

Don't tell me you don't have access.

l know you do.

l understand.

Thank you very much for your trouble.

l have no new evidence.

Wait. . . .

l know you.

We've increased security

at our foreign embassies...

... we're cooperating with lnterpol

and the French authorities...
