The Bourne Identity Page #5

Jason.

-l only know one other thing.

-Say it.

Fifty thousand.

-l'll pay you with your life. Say it!

-The phone number. . .

-. . .it's a dress shop on Saint Honore.

-Dress shop?

lt's called Bergeron.

Jason, come on. Come on.

Call Peter. See what he's found out

while l change.

Lisa, it's Marie St. Jacques.

May l speak to Peter?

What?

What?

When?

l just talked to him earlier today.

Oh, my God.

What? What's happened?

-They killed him.

-What?

He went to the airport to meet

the man from Washington.

When he didn't come back to the office,

Lisa called the airport.

They found his body in one of the

tunnels to the parking lot.

Oh, Marie. . . .

Treadstone. Your precious

Treadstone. They're murderers!

He asked about them to help me--

-Stop it. Look--

-Your people, Jason. Murderers!

-All of you are murderers! Let go!

-Calm down!

-Marie--

-l can't be part of this.

Marie. Marie!

Gentlemen, the president wants to

know what's going on.

Peter White at the

Canadian Treasury. . .

. . .calls the NSC asking about

Treadstone and is shot.

Did you kill him

for blowing your cover?

-Senator--

-Or was it Carlos again?

-l think it was Bourne.

-Bourne?

You're convinced, General Conklin,

Bourne also killed Ambassador Leland.

l am.

-Either alone or working for Carlos.

-Poppycock!

Mr. Abbott?

Apparently, senator, we don't have

a consensus yet.

-You're not convinced?

-l'm not convinced, for one.

The facts are:
Bourne. . .

. . .was in Marseilles

just before the assassination.

That doesn't mean he did it.

He might have known about it and

been trying to prevent it.

And afterwards he vanished,

reappeared in Zurich. . .

. . .withdrew millions from the

Treadstone account. . .

. . .murdered Chernak, kidnapped the

woman and vanished again.

Those are also the facts, senator.

Leland and Chernak were both shot

in the throat. Significant?

-lt's Carlos' signature.

-Bourne was trained to kill like Carlos.

He did not kill, Alex.

He's saved lives while he was

undercover.

That's true.

-Taken credit for kills, not killed.

-Or so he'd have us believe.

Bourne's mission, senator,

was to get Carlos.

lnterpol tried and failed for 20

years. The lsraelis tried.

Carlos controls an elaborate

network of terrorists. . .

. . .from who knows where.

We decided to challenge him

at his own game.

To field our own assassin.

Are you serious?

The theory was our man would claim

kills that were in fact Carlos' . . .

. . .and invent others.

This would enrage Carlos.

He'd make a mistake.

He'd reveal himself.

He's a man of enormous ego.

That was the theory.

ln practice, what happened, in

my opinion. . .

. . .is Bourne became exactly

what we trained him to be.

A master assassin.

ls that possible,

David?

The evidence is

circumstantial at best.

-l think he should be eliminated.

-Alex, please.

So you, David and Elliot, believe he's

innocent. . .

. . .General Conklin and Mr. Gillette

believe he's guilty. What do we do?

What l suggest is that we send him

a signal to come in.

We'll plant a story about the

woman in the papers.

lf he does come in,

we'll question him.

lf he doesn't,

then we'll know he's turned.

Gentlemen. Meg.

Where do you go now?

The name we got from D'Armacourt

at the bank. Bergeron's.

-They'll kill you if you go there--

-Marie. . . .

You'll be late for your flight home.

l am sorry about Peter.

-Could you translate that for me?

-Excuse me.

-Do you want to see something?

-A gift for a friend.

The lounge for viewing and selecting

is one flight up.

Let me show you the way.

-lf we can help you, please call, sir.

-Thank you.

l am Jacqueline Lavier,

the directress.

-lf l can be of any assistance.

-Thank you.

-May l hang those for you?

-Oh, sure, thanks.

-You have an eye for our better dresses.

-l've a young lady with an eye for them.

May l pick some ballgowns,

perhaps, as well?

lf you've got a place l can have a

drink, you can pick me a closetful.

-The trip from the Bahamas was a killer.

-My office?

lt's not the Georges V,

but the sofa is soft. . .

-. . .and there's plenty of whiskey.

-Where've you been all my life?

-ls she available for fittings?

-She's already on the Riviera. . .

. . .but a size six fits

her well enough.

''A size six fits her well enough. ''

For shame, Monsieur.

This is what l like about

shopping in Paris.

My pleasure, Monsieur. . .?

Briggs. Charlie Briggs.

And how much of your money

do you want to part with?

Not more than 1 0 or 1 2,000,

Madame Jacqui.

And make yourself at home.

Come in.

Marie! lncredible! Thank God

you got away. You all right?

Yeah. Did you hear about Peter?

What happened? Do you know?

We heard this morning.

Terrible tragedy.

But you're safe, thank God for that.

We've all been so worried.

Alice?

Tell the ambassador that Marie

St. Jacques is here. We've got him!

-What do you mean? You've got who?

-Bourne, of course.

-You are going to cooperate, aren't you?

-What do you mean?

Help us find him.

The police have been looking

for Jason Bourne since Zurich.

He's an assassin and one

of the most dangerous men alive.

You know where he was last, where

he's planning to go.

-The ambassador would like to see you.

-l'll be right there.

-l'll be right back.

-Carl. . .

. . .what happens when you find him?

Marie, he's a killer.

Sooner or later, we're gonna

catch him. Or kill him. Wait here.

Marie! What are you doing?

Come back here!

Get her!

Damn!

Yes, l'm sure. l thought he was dead.

l served with the bastard in Laos,

in the Medusa operation.

He's the coldest man l ever saw,

the most. . .

. . .dangerous, the most

unpredictable.

Angelique, it is Bourne.

l guarantee it.

You don't make a mistake with

a man like that.

We were all trained to kill,

but he was the best.

He killed because

he enjoyed it.

That was a lovely meal,

Monsieur Briggs.

-Call me Charlie.

-Charlie.

Now. l understand that you know

the work of a man l want to employ.

Jason Bourne.

Madame Jacqui.

No need to be alarmed.

All l want is information.

l don't know who you're talking about.

Don't you?

Why is your phone number on his

account's fiche confidentielle?

That's a lie! You know nothing!

Enough to expose

Koenig in Zurich. . .

. . .D'Armacourt at the Valois Bank,

and you, of course.

lf l did, how quickly

would you be eliminated?

You are insane.

You expose any of us anywhere

and you won't last the day.

His men will

cut you down in the street.

Tell me about Bourne.

You heard that he was

the equal of Carlos?

His equal? l heard they were

the same man.

So now Bourne is claiming

even to be Carlos? Monsieur.

-So Bourne isn't Carlos?

-Bourne is a poseur.

He works alone.

Carlos' strength. . .

. . .lies in his far reach

of information.

-Sounds like too many people to me.

-All blind, Monsieur.

Blind?

To put it plainly. . .

. . .l have been part of this operation

for over 1 5 years.

l have yet to meet anyone. . .
