The Bourne Identity Page #2

Synopsis: An unconscious man is washed ashore on the beach of a small French village during a heavy storm. A retired doctor takes care of the unconscious stranger. When the mysterious man recovers, he can't remember a thing...he does not know his name, he does not know where his flashback memories come from, and he does not know why the access code for an anonymous Swiss bank account is implanted in his thigh. As he seeks his own identity, things quickly become dangerous. There are attempts to kill him, he is well known in first class hotels across Europe, and worst of all, there are strange similarities between his memories and reported actions of the notorious terrorist, Carlos the Jackal.

...in a worldwide search for Carlos.

You were responsible for

the ambassador.

How do you feel about

his assassination?

Who are you? Why do l know you?

l feel a sense of outrage and

deep personal loss.

He was a close friend.

When we find Carlos, and we will...

...l intend to question him myself.

That's all l can say. Thank you.

This is Nigel Colman,

reporting from Nice.

Carlos.

May l help you, sir?

l have an account here.

lf you'll tell me the number of

zeros in your account. . .

. . .l can direct you

to the correct office.

Three zeros.

Take the elevator, sir. Fifth floor.

Thank you.

Three-zero account on the way

to the fifth floor.

My name is Fritz Koenig, sir.

Three-zero accounts rarely come in

without an appointment.

l'm afraid you startled

our man in the lobby.

l'm in a hurry.

Of course. lf you'll sign in.

Your signature.

Of course.

Would you wait in here, please?

Where are you taking that?

-To Signature Verifications.

-l'm in a great hurry.

l'm following procedures

you yourself requested, sir.

l've got his fingerprints.

We're ready down here.

Walter Apfel, at your service.

Mr. Apfel.

l trust you're enjoying Zurich?

Very much. My room overlooks the lake.

Shall l unlock this

or would you prefer to do it?

Please. Open it.

Oh, no, sir. l can unlock it for you,

but the opening is your responsibility.

-lf you're listed, it's not my position--

-Of course.

l need to transfer funds out of the

country. Can you do that for me?

-For that l do need to know your name.

-Fine.

Open the box. Let's get to it.

ls something wrong?

Everything's fine.

My name is Jason Bourne. Jason.

My privilege to know you. Your

identity will remain confidential.

You have the word of an officer.

Thank you, Mr. Apfel.

Transfer funds to the Bank of

France in Port Noir. . .

. . .to Dr. Geoffrey Washburn.

All right. What amount?

A million dollars.

Fine.

Anything further, sir?

Seven million dollars transferred

to my account--

Where, sir?

Paris.

Very good, sir. Which bank?

You have an affiliated

bank in Paris?

Yes, of course.

The Valois Bank of Paris.

The Valois Bank, yes.

And 300,000 francs in cash now.

The balance to remain here.

The paperwork won't take a minute, sir.

l'll be back with your money.

-Your money, sir.

-Thank you.

Anytime we can help,

it is our pleasure.

Thank you.

Goodbye.

How many in the lobby?

How many?

Just one. Outside

in a silver Mercedes.

Excuse me, is this a fire drill?

Herr Stossel, this is Mr. Bourne in 402.

l'd like my bill prepared

immediately, and a taxi.

l'm on my way down.

Your taxi's waiting, sir. And your bill,

in francs and dollars.

There may be messages.

Keep them for me.

Very good, sir.

Could you send this?

lf they reply, l'll be at the lecture.

Certainly, doctor.

Thank you.

May l accompany you?

-You're into interest rates?

-Deeply.

-Do l know you?

-l applauded loudest for your paper.

Can we have the next slide, please?

-Let me go. What are you doing?

-ls there another way out?

How should l know?

Do as l say.

This graph shows yield curve slopes

and inflation rates for Germany. . .

. . .and her principal economic partners,

France, ltaly and the Netherlands.

Since the inception of the EMS

in 1 979. . .

. . .there has been a marked convergence

of inflation rates. . .

. . .proxied by

the yield curve slopes.

This is due to the gradual tightening

of monetary policies. . .

. . .with France, ltaly and

Netherlands tending to have. . .

. . .tighter monetary policies

than Germany.

This supports our view that a

deflationary bias has been imposed. . .

. . .on the rest of Europe by Germany

via the EMS.

Next slide, please.

Here! What's going on?

This way.

Shut up! l said, shut up!

That hurts!

-My wrist is broken!

-No, it isn't.

-Let me go!

-As soon as we get to your car.

-l don't have a car!

-l saw your keys, doctor.

My car is at the Ottawa Airport--

Your car.

They'll kill you too.

Now, drive!

Gun it!

Turn right onto the bridge.

Come on!

Where are we going?

Tell me!

A restaurant.

The Drei Alpenhauser.

-Please let me go. l can't--

-l'll let you go at the restaurant.

-What's at the restaurant? Why are--?

-l don't know. Now, turn around!

Walk into the restaurant with me.

You said to drive you here.

You said if l drove you here,

you'd let me go.

-l won't do it again.

-Yes, you will.

When you think you can make it,

you'll try.

Believe me,

you won't make it.

l won't try, if l know

you'll let me go.

-l will.

-When?

When it no longer matters

what you say or do.

l don't want to hurt you.

Comb your hair.

lt's a mess.

lf you make trouble inside,

somebody's bound to get hurt.

lt'll be your responsibility.

-Don't look at him.

-Who is it?

l don't know.

Don't let him see your face.

Why are you doing this to me?

l enjoy the food here.

l have a family. They will kill

my wife and children.

l gave you the envelope. l did

what l was told. No more, no less.

As you yourself instructed.

You were paid?

l told them nothing.

Then why are you afraid?

l'm just a tourist having dinner.

You cannot, please.

You must leave.

Tell me what you know. Quickly!

Others may have talked.

The police--

The police have been here.

lnterpol, looking for you, mein Herr.

And others who would stop at

nothing. They know this place. Please.

l have told them l haven't seen you.

They'll kill me--

You're exaggerating.

Don't do this to me.

Why are you so afraid?

Word went out a month ago

that you were not dead.

Anyone with any information should call

a number set up by lnterpol.

Sizable rewards offered by

several countries.

-lnformation to be held in confidence.

-And you needed the money.

No, no, God. . . .

You've got to believe me.

On my life, l swear l didn't--

Who did?

Chernak, maybe.

Chernak?

The envelope came from him to me

to you. You know him.

-He'd never say anything.

-Where is he?

-Where he always is.

-Don't play games with me.

-Lowenstrasse, of course.

-What number?

-lt hasn't changed.

-Answer the question.

Thirty-seven.

-What was in the envelope?

-l didn't look. l don't know.

l will shoot you if you lie again.

-Money?

-l suppose. Yes. l didn't take any.

-lf there was some discrepancy--

-What was the money for?

Why are you doing this to me?

l read the papers,

watch the news on TV.

Ambassador Leland.

-Come on.

-l don't want to go in there.

-You're coming in.

-l don't want to--

l don't want to be a witness. Please!

Mr. Chernak.

-Who are you? What is it?

-Alpenhauser.

-l don't know anybody there.

-Come on.

He said 37 Lowenstrasse.

-Put it under the door.
