The Bourne Identity Page #4

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.

half of Zurich tried to kill me.

That's why you need me. l know banks.

l know the right questions to ask.

Marie, l'm not going to drag you into

this further. l don't want you hurt.

l have rank in the

Treasury Department of Canada.

Clearance, embassy protection.

That can be helpful.

l already called Peter to get him

to find out about your Treadstone.

You shouldn't have done that.

l want to help you, Jason.

First it was because you saved me

from rape, saved my life, l owed you.

But then. . . .

You're not a killer.

You can kill, but you're not a killer.

That's a distinction l happen

to believe in more than you.

Please let me help you.

Put your arms around me, Jason.

l need to be held.

Even if it's only for tonight.

We need to forget the violence.

What are you thinking?

l keep spinning around

in the wind. . .

. . .over and over.

There's fire.

lmages.

A woman, a child.

A beautiful child.

Burning.

l feel responsible.

l may not be able to live with

what's out there. l mean that.

Jason, even at the beginning

when you were very rough. . .

. . .even then there was something

in your eyes, some. . .

. . .l don't know, reluctance.

You couldn't have hurt them.

lt's impossible.

Not you.

All right. Thank you, Peter.

-What did he say?

-Treadstone is dangerous.

-lt's a secret group in the ClA.

-The ClA? ls he sure about this?

-He called a friend with the NSC.

-My God!

He was furious Peter knew about

the existence of Treadstone.

-He's flying to Canada to debrief him.

-Now do you want to go back?

Ask me after the bank.

lt won't be open for an hour.

Let's go see if the reports. . .

. . .on Ambassador Leland's

assassination jog my memory.

-Wait.

-What?

-Look.

-Oh, my God, that's you.

l was there. l know these people.

Ambassador Leland.

U.S. Naval lntelligence,

a house in McLean, Virginia.

And this man, l saw him

on television in Zurich.

l know him, but l can't

remember his name.

He's important, Marie.

Somehow, close to me.

What's his name?

Jason, you're both not identified.

lt's the funeral for the son

of General Villiers.

Carlos again.

Leland was shot in the throat.

''Carlos' signature is to shoot

his victims in the throat. ''

l shot Chernak in the throat.

Come on.

Are your days comfortable?

The days, they draw to an end.

But they are made comfortable.

Good.

What is the report from Zurich?

Bourne has disappeared.

They think the woman is with him.

Disappeared?

Where was Koenig?

-He has a dozen men.

-Four of our men were killed.

Koenig says Bourne has sent

the money to Paris.

He comes to me.

Have someone at the bank

who can recognize him.

And if possible, take the woman first.

And bring her to me.

Yes, Carlos.

This number is 46-78-2255.

Got it. Here we go.

Hello, l transferred a sizable amount

and l'd like to check if it's there.

That would be in our Foreign

Department, sir. l will connect you.

l transferred seven million dollars

and l'm checking to see if it's there.

Can you help me or are you going

to transfer me? Who are you?

l can help. l'm Pierre D'Armacourt,

an officer of the bank.

-Give me your name.

-Bourne. B-O-U-R-N-E. Jason Bourne.

The money came from a bank in Zurich.

-Could you come by the bank?

-Yes, l guess l'll have to.

Where's your office?

Hello? l can't hear anything.

His name is D'Armacourt.

His office is main floor rear,

-Can he see you?

-No. l don't think so.

Look, face the wall and don't move.

l'll get rid of him, then l'll call.

-Jason, l'm terrified.

-Hang up and don 't move.

-Banque Valois, bonjour.

-Pierre D'Armacourt's office, please.

-D'Armacourt. Jason Bourne calling.

-One moment, please.

Come on, come on.

l'm sorry you're having trouble--

There's been a hitch in my plan.

l've got to fly to London.

l'm off to the airport.

Hang on to those papers

until l get back.

There's a cab, gotta run. Thanks.

-Jason?

-Marie. Don't move.

lf l'm right, he will be passing you.

-Maybe l should try to get out now.

-No, not yet. Don't move!

-l can't stop shaking.

-They're at the airport, l promise you.

Could D'Armacourt have gone

out the back?

There he is.

You'll be all right.

Go back to the pension.

Mr. D'Armacourt?

l'm Jason Bourne.

Your friends must wonder why

you gave them bum information.

l followed the instructions

on the account.

Nothing more.

l want to know what the instructions

were and who they came from.

-l could lose my job.

-You could lose your life.

-l'm not who you want to talk to.

-Who is?

The owner of the bank. He made

the arrangements with Zurich.

Zurich? From that man

in the bank? Koenig?

-Perhaps.

-What's the arrangement?

-l'm not as privileged as you think.

-Nor as ignorant. Don't play with me.

You don't have to threaten me,

Monsieur.

You are a very rich man.

Why not pay me?

All right. Let's see what it's worth.

Your account has a

fiche confidentielle.

There are instructions when

funds are deposited or withdrawn.

-And the instructions?

-A number to call.

And the number?

-l only saw it once.

-You remember.

-A number in New York?

-No. Here in Paris.

The card was altered.

The New York number was deleted,

the one in Paris inserted.

Who did you talk to?

-With a fiche, you don't ask.

-That's true.

A woman answered.

She said you were dangerous.

l asked if l should tell the police.

l was told you were beyond the

police or lnterpol.

That you should be detained. . .

. . .so someone could identify you.

This is very valuable, Mr. Bourne.

That phone number might be.

-l want 50,000.

-That's outrageous.

So was the assassination of

Ambassador Leland.

Do you know who l am?

A dangerous man, Monsieur.

You know more.

Tell me or l'll kill you.
