The Bourne Identity Page #7

-A little.

A few moments ago, two women came in.

The young one in red. . .

. . .the older had dark hair.

Did you see them?

The young one brought the other

to confess.

-Did you hear the confession?

-No, another Father.

-l must find her.

-She was in the second confessional.

l don't know if she's there.

l saw Father Manuel leave.

We have to talk, general.

Get in the car.

-What is this?

-We have to talk.

-l'm prepared to shoot.

-Then shoot!

l have no problem killing you,

now you've become Carlos' messenger.

-l'll kill you.

-Kill me.

-You deny being Carlos' man?

-l spit on him. He killed my son. . .

. . .my only son.

Five sticks of dynamite.

Your phone number is at

Carlos' Paris headquarters.

You don't know what you are saying.

l do because l found it myself.

lt's your number.

Who are you?

-Names are unimportant.

-Unimportant?

A man with no name traps me at night,

holds a gun to me. . .

. . .and expects me to believe him?

Why should l?

Because l'm telling you the truth.

lf you hate Carlos as much as you say,

then help me stop him!

General.

General, wait.

We followed Carlos from a bank

in Zurich to one in Paris. . .

. . .which had on an account

Bergeron's number.

At Bergeron's l found your number

carefully hidden.

-There must be some explanation.

-There is no other explanation.

At your home who answers the phone?

You?

Yes. Or the housekeeper.

She's been with me since the war.

Or my wife or my aide.

-How long's your aide been with you?

-Since before you were born.

-He's completely loyal.

-Caesar said that of Brutus.

There's no one in my immediate

household. No one. Believe me.

-l'm afraid you're wrong.

-Why should l believe you?

General.

l'll prove everything l've said.

But l need access to your home.

l need to talk to your staff.

General, please.

Come to my home. Talk to my wife.

She'll arrange it.

You'll find you're wrong.

Park the car. We'll go with him.

Don't pull in.

Stop here.

The man coming out of your house,

do you know who he is?

Yes. l met him with my wife.

His name is D'Anjou.

-He's connected to Carlos.

-Why do you say that?

Because l saw him in a shop

Carlos uses as a front here in Paris.

That woman he's talking to

is one of Carlos' people.

ls she part of your household,

general?

She's my wife.

When an old man finds a stunning young

woman who's anxious to share his life. . .

. . .there are some things

which are understood.

She gets money, security,

a position in society.

He gets her youth, beauty and

a chance to display his virility.

-General, don't do this to yourself.

-All the time l question:

Does she long for a younger man?

And if she takes a lover.

Damn it. When she takes a lover. . .

. . .will she be discreet?

One question never occurred

to me until now.

Has she from the beginning been part

of the design? Part of my son's death?

Do you think she has?

l have access to certain

classified material.

You understand?

Military, nuclear, security of France.

Only five other men are on the list.

Five, no more.

But all the time there is a leak.

Somewhere, somehow.

Moscow learns one thing,

Washington another.

-You discuss these with your wife?

-No, of course l do not.

But, l bring the papers home with me,

and l put them in a safe in my office.

Only one other person has

the key of the safe.

For her jewels.

She mourned for my son's death.

Black, very smart, very chic.

But, if you're right,

she was part of my son's murder.

And she is a traitor to France.

l know what l must do.

No, general, listen to me.

Think of your son, not your pride. Go

after the killer, not the accomplice.

You'll get them, but don't

confront her. Use her to get Carlos.

Use her to draw him out, to make him

show himself. Nobody's been this close.

Who are you?

Have you heard of a group in the

ClA called Treadstone?

l can tell you nothing about

Treadstone. Nothing.

All we want is someone in Treadstone

we can trust. Someone past suspicion.

Just a name, general. One name.

Abbott.

David Abbott.

He is a man you can trust.

D'Anjou.

This is Jason Bourne.

Jacqui is dead. You're next.

Do me no favors.

Call the church to verify.

Then meet me at--

-And get a wire around my neck?

-l want information.

l'll pay you and you can leave

the country and live a long, safe life.

The Trocadero, at noon, at the taxi

stand. lf you want to live, be there.

Drive.

D'Anjou!

D'Anjou!

That last one was a Carlos man,

Jean Pierre. l've used him myself.

Come on.

You saved my life. Why?

Because l might kill you myself.

What do you want?

How does Villiers' wife fit

into the organization?

-D'Anjou!

-She's Carlos' lover since she was 1 3.

Villiers' wife?

lt gives Carlos access

to all government secrets. . .

. . .and all the files on himself.

ls Villiers involved?

-What does Carlos know about me?

-l'm not in the first circle.

-What have you heard?

-Only what everyone else has heard.

Rumors out of Saigon

were that Jason Bourne. . .

. . .the most lethal man

in Southeast Asia. . .

. . .had signed on with the ClA

for the highest price ever paid.

For what purpose?

-What does Carlos think l'm doing?

-Driving him mad. Claiming his kills.

-Challenging him at every turn.

-And you?

What do you think?

-What does it matter?

-You recognize me. You know me.

You are not the Jason Bourne l knew.

-Then who am l?

-l have no idea.

Your face has been altered

to look like Bourne. . .

. . .but you are not a cold-blooded

killer. Beyond that, l have no idea.

lf l run, will you shoot me?

No.

No, l won't.

What? What did D'Anjou say?

Was l right?

You were right.

There's still a lot l don't know.

But l'm not Bourne.

l'm not an assassin.

Jason, now we can contact the embassy.

They'll help us.

Yeah, but what do l say?

''Hi there, l'm Jason Bourne.

l know that's not my real name,

but l lost my memory. . .

. . .somewhere outside of Marseilles. ''

What do l tell them?

-Tell them the truth.

-What truth?

Tell them to contact the doctor

who found you. He must have records.

He's an alcoholic.

Nobody will believe him.

Jason, why are you fighting this?

lt's what you've been looking for.

How do l know the Americans

won't kill me too?

l have to be careful, that's all.

Villiers said you can trust Abbott.

David Abbott in Treadstone.

lt's Bourne.

He wants to come in.

-Thank God. Are we sure it's him?

-Well, he's not using the right words.

-Can we make the Concorde?

-Yes.

We told him not to come in until

we get there. He'll phone every hour.

-Are they logged?

-No, but there are double agents. . .

. . .in Paris with tripped phones. lf he

goes over, he'll use one of those.

l want his story

before we do anything.

-He just destroyed Treadstone.

-l want this completely private.

l'm obligated to protect you.

l know this man, Alex.

There's no threat, not to me.

-Well, l am not convinced.

-Now we are going to do this my way.
