DARKNESS.  THE SOUND OF WIND AND SPRAY.

MUSIC.  TITLES.

EXT. OCEAN -- NIGHT

The darkness is actually water.  A SEARCHLIGHT arcs across
heavy ocean swells.  Half-a-dozen flashlights -- weaker
beams -- racing along what we can see is the deck of an
aging FISHING TRAWLER.

FISHERMEN struggling with a gaff -- something in the water --

A HUMAN CORPSE.

EXT. FISHING BOAT DECK -- NIGHT

THE BODY sprawled there.  The Sailors all talking at once --
three languages going -- brave chatter to mask the presence
of death --

			SAILOR #1
	-- Jesus, look at him --

			SAILOR #2
	-- what? -- you never saw a dead
	man before? --

			SAILOR #3
	-- look, look he was shot --
		(nudging the body--)

			SAILOR #1
	-- don't, don't do that --

			SAILOR #2
	-- he's dead, you think he cares? --

			SAILOR #1
	-- so have some respect -- it's a --
		(stopping as--)

THE BODY MOVES! -- convulsing -- coughing up sea water --
the Sailors -- freaked -- jumping back -- standing there, as --

THE MAN begins to breathe.

INT. FISHING BOAT BUNK ROOM -- NIGHT

A wreck.  Too small for all the people in here right now --
SAILORS sweeping off the table -- rough hands laying THE MAN
down --

THE CAPTAIN -- brutal and impatient -- watching from the 
door as --

GIANCARLO tears through the clutter -- searching for a
medical kit buried in the shambles.  GIANCARLO is sixty.  A
bloodshot soul.

			GIANCARLO
	-- it's here -- hang on -- it's 
	here somewhere -- give me a
	minute -- get some blankets -- get
	some blankets on him --
		(finding the kit--)
	-- here we go -- here it is --

GIANCARLO with an old trunk -- just getting it open, as --

			THE CAPTAIN
	Giancarlo.
		(Giancarlo turns
				back--)
	We pick him up?  Okay, we have to
	pick him up.  But that's as far as it
	goes.

			GIANCARLO
	He needs a doctor.

			CAPTAIN
	Fuck that.  He lives?  He dies?  I
	don't care.  We've wasted two hours
	on this shit already.  You do what
	you can, but we're not going back.
		(pure steel now)
	You understand me?

			GIANCARLO
	Yes, sir.

			CAPTAIN
		(to the rest of them)
	Let's get back to work!

GIANCARLO watching them run out.  Snagging a quick pull on a
pint of rum he's got stashed and --

INT. FISHING BOAT BUNK ROOM -- DAWN -- TIME CUTS

Transformed into a makeshift operating room.  A light swings
overhead.  THE MAN layed out across the table.  Sounds --
groans -- words -- snatches of them -- all in different
languages.

GIANCARLO playing doctor in a greasy kitchen apron.  Cutting
away the clothes.  Turning THE MAN on his side.  Two bullet
wounds in the back.  Probing them, judging them.

Now -- GIANCARLO with a flashlight in his teeth -- TINK --
TINK -- TINK -- bullet fragments falling into a washed-out
olive jar.

Now -- something catching GIANCARLO'S EYE -- A SCAR ON THE 
MAN'S HIP -- another fragment -- exacto knife cutting in --
tweezers extracting A SMALL PLASTIC TUBE, not a bullet at
all, and as it comes free --

THE MAN'S HAND SLAMS down onto GIANCARLO'S and we SMASH CUT
INTO A --

FIRST PERSON POV -- we are staring up at --

			GIANCARLO
	You're awake.  Can you hear me?
		(we're blinking--)
	You've been shot.  I'm trying to
	help you.
		(we're trying to find
				our voice--)
	You were in the water.  You've been
	shot.  It's okay now.

			THE MAN
	Where am I?

			GIANCARLO
			(switching to English)
	You're American.  I thought so.
	From your teeth -- the dental work --

			THE MAN
	Where am I?

			GIANCARLO
	You're on a boat.  A fishing boat.
	Italian flag.  We're out of Vietri.
		(he smiles)
	It's the cold that saved you.  The
	water.  The wounds are clean.  I'm
	not a doctor, but the wounds, it
	looks okay.  It's clean.

			THE MAN
	How did I get here?

			GIANCARLO
	You we're lost at sea.  They pulled
	you out.
		(we say nothing)
	Who are you?
		(still nothing)
	You were shot -- two bullets -- in
	the back.  You understand me?
		(we try to nod)
	Who are you?

Long dead pause.

			THE MAN
	I don't know.

EXT. OCEAN -- DAY

The Trawler plows through heavy seas.

INT. FISHING BOAT BUNK ROOM -- DAY

GIANCARLO is hunched over a desk -- tweezers and
flashlight -- busy working at that strange plastic tube that
came out of THE MAN's hip.

THE MAN is bandaged.  He's sitting up, and it must hurt like
hell, but physical pain is not the thing troubling him right
now.  He's staring around the room -- at his body -- at the
walls -- haunted --

			THE MAN
	What if it doesn't come back?

			GIANCARLO
		(still working that tube)
	I told you.  You need to rest.

Silence.  THE MAN can't rest.  Too busy trying to make sense 
of all this.

			THE MAN
	I can read.  I can read that sign
	on the door.  I can count.  I can
	talk...
		(focusing now--)
	What are you doing?

GIANCARLO rummaging around -- finding a magnifying glass --

			THE MAN
	What is that?

INSERT -- MAGNIFIED POV -- a slip of plastic from the
tube -- written there -- 000-7-17-12-0-14-26.  GEMEINSCHAFT
BANK, ZURICH.

			GIANCARLO
	It came from your hip.  Under the
	skin.
		(turning back--)
	You have a bank in Zurich.
		(waiting)
	You remember Zurich?

			THE MAN
	No.

GIANCARLO staring at him now.  Different suddenly.  Suspicious.

			GIANCARLO
	Look, I'm just on this boat, okay?
	I'm an engineer.  Whatever this is,
	it's not for me to be involved, okay?

			THE MAN
	I don't remember Zurich.

GIANCARLO pulls his pint.  Takes a hit.

			GIANCARLO
		(offering the
				bottle--)
	You drink rum?

			THE MAN
	I don't know.

EXT. FISHING BOAT DECK -- NIGHT

THE MAN stands at the rail, staring out to sea.  So lost.
He turns to head inside -- there, a surfcasting rod propped
against a locker.

THE MAN picks up the rod -- flips the bail -- traps the
line -- now he's casting far out into the darkness.  And for
the first time, he smiles.

INT. FISHING BOAT GALLEY -- NIGHT

A ratty old espresso machine.  THE MAN standing there,
staring at the thing like it's a test.  Then his hands begin
to move -- trying to pack a grind -- trying to fit it in --
turning on the steam and --

The whole thing explodes.

EXT. FISHING BOAT DECK -- DAY

THE MAN alone doing chin-ups on the deck rail.  He's still
bandaged and the wounds must hurt like hell, but he's
pushing himself.  Using the pain -- bathing in it -- maybe
even hoping that it will hold some answer for him.

INT. FISHING BOAT GALLEY -- NIGHT

A chess board.  Wooden pieces jumbled in a box.  THE MAN
hesitates -- takes a black knight from the box -- lingers
for a moment -- and then places it on the board.  He's off
and running.  He knows this.  Placing pieces faster and
faster -- still setting it up, as we --

INT. FISHING BOAT HEAD -- NIGHT

One of the ugliest bathrooms on the planet.  THE MAN
standing before a pitted, tarnished, cataract of a mirror.
Staring at himself.

And then he speaks.

			THE MAN
		(in perfect French)
	(I don't know who I am.  Do you
	know who I am?  Do have any idea 
	who I am?)

And then he stops.  Blinks.  Wipes away the perspiration
just beading on his forehead.

			THE MAN
		(in perfect Dutch)
	(Tell me who I am.  If you know who
	I am, please stop fucking around
	and tell me.)

No answer.  Just that face.  His face.  Who am I?

And what else is inside there?

EXT. FISHING BOAT -- DAY

SAILORS hauling in the nets.  THE MAN -- still bandaged, but
healing -- working beside them.  Earning his keep.  Getting
healthy.

EXT. ITALIAN COASTLINE -- DAWN

A small, colorful fishing village.  The trawler motoring in.

INT. THE FISHING BOAT BUNK ROOM -- SAME TIME

THE MAN buttoning up borrowed clothes.  GIANCARLO pulling
some cash from his pocket --

			GIANCARLO
		(offering the money)
	It's not much, but it should get
	you to Switzerland.

			THE MAN
	I won't forget this.

GIANCARLO gives him a look.  Shakes his head, and --

INT. POKEY ITALIAN TRAIN STATION -- DAY

The ticket window.  THE MAN and a TICKET AGENT.

			TICKET AGENT
	Una sola via?

			THE MAN
	Si.  One way.  Una sola via.

EXT. TGV -- DAY

A HELICOPTER SHOT -- a bullet train speeds through snow-
capped Alps.  We move in on a window -- and staring out is...

INT. TGV TRAIN -- DAY

...THE MAN.  People all around him -- families --
businessmen -- normal people going about their lives.  THE
MAN turns back to the window, but he's not watching the
scenery -- he's looking at his reflection.  So lost.  His
face suddenly plunged into darkness as the train bombs into
a tunnel...

EXT. TRAIN -- NIGHT

...and out of the darkness into night and the HELICOPTER
SHOT, as the train races toward ZURICH.

INT. CIA HEADQUARTERS CONFERENCE ROOM -- DAY

A VIDEO MONITOR -- FULL FRAME -- meet WOMBOSI.  He's an
African ex-dictator, think Idi Amin crossed with Mobutu.
He's in some sort of throne room.  And he's angry.  
Bodyguards and a translator hovering nervously around him.
What this is, is NEWS FOOTAGE -- an interview conducted by a
German TV station.

			WOMBOSI
		(he speaks english)
	...no, no, no -- the time is not
	right, my enemies are too strong.
	I'm telling you to wait for this,
	you understand?  I'm telling you
	this, and I'm making a warning to
	all those peoples out there that
	think that my powers have become so
	weak that they can play with me as 
	they wish.  You will see -- I will
	tell you when the evidence is clear.
	Then you will have a story.  My old
	friends will hear about themselves.
		(stopping, freezing
				on that image, and--)

MARSHALL, a CIA bigwig has the remote control.  And the floor.

			MARSHALL
	That's Nykwana Wombosi speaking in
	Paris the day before yesterday.  
	I'm sure most of you have a passing
	knowledge of Mr. Wombosi.  Some of 
	you on the African desks have
	worked with him over the years.
	Some of you very closely...

TWELVE CIA MANDARINS sitting around the table like kids in
detention.  We will tour the faces as MARSHALL continues,
but the guy we're interested in is named WARD ABBOTT.
Picture a sawier, slicker John Poindexter.

			MARSHALL
	...He was an irritation before he
	took power.  He was a problem when
	he was in power.  And he's been a
	disaster for us in exile.
		(the tape--)
	Wombosi likes to send us messages
	through the European media.  This
	is an interview we pulled down from
	a local German television station
	in Dresden.  We've been getting
	these little broadsides every
	couple of months.  He knows this --
	he knows that -- he's writing a
	book about the Agency's history in
	Africa -- he's going to name names.
	It's basically a shakedown...

ABBOTT'S FACE says this is news to him.  HIS HANDS suggest
otherwise.

			MARSHALL
	This interview -- and I'll make the
	tape available for anyone who wants
	it -- he goes on to claim that he
	has just survived an assassination
	attempt.  He says it's us.  He says 
	he's got proof.
		(beat)
	The overwhelming negative 
	ramifications of this should be
	obvious.
		(hard and dry)
	The Director wants to know if there
	is any possible shred of truth in
	this accusation.

Long pause.  No hands go up.

INT. ZURICH TRAIN STATION -- NIGHT

THE MAN wandering through the terminal.  Passing A PIZZA
PLACE closing up for the night.

THE MAN checks his funds.  Just enough for one cold slice.

EXT. ZURICH STREETS -- NIGHT

THE MAN walking aimlessly.

EXT. ZURICH PARK -- NIGHT

THE MAN trying to get comfortable on a bench.  It's chilly
but this will have to do until morning.

Just settling in, when --

			ZURICH COP #1 (OS)
		(authority German)
	(Can't you read the signs?)

THE MAN turns.  TWO ZURICH COPS coming toward him.

			ZURICH COP #2 
	(On your feet.  Let's go.  Right now.)

THE MAN makes his feet.  They're on top of him now.

			ZURICH COP #1
	(The park is closed.  There's no
	sleeping in the park.)

			ZURICH COP #2
	(Let's see some identification.)

THE MAN not sure what to do.  Eyes moving.  Mouth shut.

			ZURICH COP #1
	(Come on.  Your papers.  Let's go.)

			THE MAN
	I've lost them.  I've.
		(German now)
	(My papers.  They are lost.)

			ZURICH COP #1
		(not sympathetic)
	(Okay.  Let's go.  Put your hands up.)

			ZURICH COP #2
		(pulling his nightstick)
	(-- come on -- hands up -- up --)

THE MAN raising his hand slowly -- ZURICH COP #1 reaching up
to pat him down --

			THE MAN
	-- look, I'm just trying to sleep
	okay? --
		(German again)
	(-- I just need to sleep --)

ZURICH COP #2 has heard enough -- giving a sharp poke with
the nightstick -- into THE MAN's back -- and that's the last
thing he'll remember because --

THE MAN is in motion.

A single turn -- spinning -- catching COP #2 completely off
guard -- the heel of his hand driving up into the guy's
throat and --

COP #1 -- behind him -- trying to reach for his pistol, but
THE MAN -- still turning -- all his weight moving in a
single fluid attack -- a sweeping kick and --

COP #1 -- he's falling -- catching the bench -- trying to
fight back but -- THE MAN -- like a machine -- just 
unbelievably fast -- three jackhammer punches -- down-down-
down and -- COP #1 -- head slammed into the bench -- blood
spraying from his nose -- he's out cold and --

COP #2 -- writhing on the ground -- gasping for air -- 
struggling with his holster -- THE MAN -- his foot -- 
down -- like a vise -- onto COP #2's arm -- shattering the 
bone -- COP #2 starting to scream, and then silenced because -- 

THE MAN -- he's got the pistol -- so fucking fast -- he's
got it right up against COP #2's forehead -- right on the
edge of pulling the trigger -- he is, he's gonna shoot him --

			ZURICH COP #2
		(gasping, pleading)
	(-- no -- please God no -- please
	don't -- please no -- my Go--)
		(stopping as--)

THE MAN slams the gun against his temple and --

This fight is over.

THE MAN standing there.  In the silence.  Two unconscious
cops at his feet.  Blood on his pants.  What just happened?
How did he do this?  And there's THE GUN in his hand.  And
God, it just feels so natural -- checking it -- stripping it
down -- holding it -- aiming it -- like this is something
he's done a million times before...

This is something he definitely knows how to do.

And then he stops cold.  Throwing down the gun.  Running off
into the darkness --

INT. TREADSTONE -- DAY

A deep, inner office.  An ops office.  Operations.  Unlabeled
and anonymous.  A backwater project center hidden deep 
within the Langley facility.  Utilitarian.  Several rooms
linked like a suite.

Small staff.  SEVERAL TECHNICIANS.  One or two for
communications.  A couple for research.  People are at their
posts.  And it's all quiet.  But they are busy.  Quietly 
urgent.  This is a place under siege.

ZORN is the number two here.  Brilliant bloodless lapdog.
He's coming through the suite.  Coming through quickly.
Heading toward the boss's little office at the back --

TED CONKLIN.  Ivy League Ollie North.  Buttoned down.
Square jaw.  Everything tucked away.  But there's tension in
the air.  Work on the desk.  Cot in the corner.

			CONKLIN
		(looking up)
	What?

			ZORN
	Abbott wants to talk.

			CONKLIN
	Tell him we're busy.

			ZORN
	I tried.

INT. CIA COMMISSARY -- NIGHT

ABBOTT with coffee.  CONKLIN not lingering.

			ABBOTT
	Storm clouds are gathering, Ted.
	It looks like rain and I don't have
	a thing to wear.

			CONKLIN
	I don't know what we're talking about.

			ABBOTT
	We're talking about Marseille.
	We're talking about Nykwana Wombosi.
	And I'm asking you if this abortion
	in Marseille has anything to do
	with Treadstone.
		(silence)
	Was this Treadstone?

			CONKLIN
	You're asking me a direct question?

			ABBOTT
	Yes.

			CONKLIN
	I thought you were never going to
	do that.

Silence.  Pressure drop.

			ABBOTT
	They're putting together an agency
	oversight committee.  They're going
	to look through everyone's budgets.
	Treadstone is a rather sizable line
	item in my ledger.
		(beat)
	What am I going to do about that?

			CONKLIN
	You'd want to make that go away.
	You'd want to remind them that
	Treadstone is a training
	organization.  That it's all 
	theoretical.  You'd want to sign
	off on that.

			ABBOTT
	And what if I couldn't do that?

			CONKLIN
	Then I'd have to explain Treadstone.
	And you'd have to explain how you
	let me get this far.
		(silence)
	Doesn't sound like much of a Plan-B,
	does it?
		(Abbott staring)
	We'll clean up the field.  You
	clean up your budgets.

EXT. ZURICH -- DAY

Morning in the financial district.  Upscale.  Uptight.

GEMEINSCHAFT BANK just one of many elegant fortresses on
this street.  Everything just now opening for business.  TWO
GUARDS unlocking the front door and --

THE MAN across the street.  Tucked in the shadows.  Checking
for cops and trouble.  Looks clear.  He's walking and --

INT. BANK RECEPTION AREA -- DAY

Ornate, formidable and tech at the same time.

			RECEPTIONIST
	(Can I help you?)

THE MAN standing before her.  Looking very out of place.

			THE MAN
	I'm here about a numbered account.

THE RECEPTIONIST nods.  Pulls a pen and bank card.

			RECEPTIONIST
		(instant English)
	If you'll just enter your account 
	number here I'll direct you to the
	appropriate officer.

THE MAN takes the pen, as we --

INT. BANK SECURITY CHECKPOINT -- DAY

A BIO-METRIC SCANNER.  A piece of ultra-tech amidst the
Baroque.  TWO SERIOUS BANK GUARDS manning the equipment.

THE MAN standing there, staring down at this machine.  
Something ominously decisive about this.  What if it's him?
What if it's not?

			BANK GUARD #1
		(they've been waiting)
	(Your hand, sir...)

THE MAN focuses.  Here we go -- BANK GUARD #2 guiding his
open palm onto the mirrored scanning surface.  

THE MAN catching his reflection for a moment before a wave
of white light passes beneath his hand and now --

INT. BANK HALLWAY -- DAY

THE MAN being led by A THIRD GUARD to a special elevator.

INT. DEEPER INSIDE THE BANK -- DAY

Elevator doors open.  THE MAN steps out.  MR. APFEL -- anal 
Zurich banker -- waiting there.

			APFEL
	Good morning, sir.  I assume you're
	here about your box.

			THE MAN
	...yes...
		(what now?)
	The box.

APFEL nods.  Gestures down the corridor --

INT. BANK SAFETY DEPOSIT VIEWING ROOM -- DAY

Sterile and kind of odd.  But total privacy.  THE MAN
sitting there, as A DEPOSIT GUARD places a large SAFETY
DEPOSIT BOX before him.  THE GUARD leaves the room.  Closing
the door behind him.

THE MAN is alone.  And there it is, right in front of him.
This is it.  Here are the answers.  He lifts the lid.

THE BOX.  There's a shallow tray on top.  In this tray: a
beat-up passport in the name of Jason Bourne.  A French 
driver's license with a Parisian address.  Credit cards for 
Jason Bourne.

THE MAN.  Holding these objects close -- as if by holding
them he might absorb their essence.  Forcing himself to 
believe.  This is him.  His picture.  There it is.  He's 
Jason Bourne.

			BOURNE
	My name is Jason Bourne.
		(sounds good)
	Hi, I'm Jason.  Jason Bourne.
	Jason Bourne, nice to meet you.

BACK TO -- THE BOX -- the shallow tray on top.  There's
Kleenex.  Several sets of contact lenses.  A knife.  A comb.
Three sticks of gum.  A ring.  A pair of sunglasses.  A Rolex.

BOURNE setting these things aside.  Lifting the top tray.
Staring into THE DEEP BOTTOM TRAY and --

First of all...

MONEY.  Lots of it.  Ten thousand dollar stacks of hundreds.
Lots of them.  Close to a million dollars.  There's A GUN.
A very good gun.  Several clips of ammo.  And...

FIVE MORE PASSPORTS.  All clean.  Crisp.  Brand new.  All
with his photo inside.  Five different names.  Three 
different Countries.  Each one of these pristine passports
clipped to a piece of card stock that says:

NAME:
NATIONALITY:
PLACE OF ISSUE:
SIGNATURE SAMPLE:

And a bar code.
Two Dutch passports.  A French.  A South African.  A Belgian.

And...

There's one piece of card stock still with the paper clip in
place.  And no passport.  This card reads:

NAME: John Michael Kane
NATIONALITY: U.S.A.
PLACE OF ISSUE: Paris, France
There's a signature sample.
And a bar code.
But no passport.  This one is missing.

BOURNE sitting there.  Trying to push his confusion away.

			BOURNE
	Bourne.  My name is Jason Bourne.
	I live at 121, Rue de la Jardin, Paris.

But there's something hollow about this.  He came looking
for one identity and now he's faced with six.  The money...
The gun...

Suddenly, it's all fucked up.

BOURNE into gear.  Looking around the room -- there --
there's a pile of red canvas burn bags in the corner.
BOURNE grabbing one -- stuffing everything into it --
everything except...

The gun.  He doesn't want the gun.  No guns.

INT. BANK SAFETY DEPOSIT OUTER AREA -- DAY

BOURNE is done.  Handing the box back to THE DEPOSIT GUARD --

			BOURNE
	(I'm trying to think how long it's
	been since I was here.)

			DEPOSIT GUARD
	(I'm not sure.  Must be three weeks.)

EXT. STREETS OF ZURICH -- DAY -- VARIOUS SHOTS

BOURNE exits the bank.  The red bag full to its limit.  He's
walking briskly now.  Looking for a taxi.  Nothing in sight.

BOURNE crossing the street.  Shit, there's A COP on the
corner -- turn -- change pace -- make it look natural --

BOURNE around a corner.  And it's looking good for a
moment -- but only a moment -- TWO MORE COPS walking a
beat -- walking this way -- turn -- cut -- cross the street --

BOURNE heading down a boulevard.  Trying to look small.
Pulse starting to race.  Fighting the paranoia.  Where the
hell is a cab?  Turning back fast as A SIREN starts bleeding  
in from behind him -- 

It's just an ambulance.

BOURNE turning back.  Forcing himself to focus.  And fuck --
there's A METER MAID, and she's stopped writing up a
ticket -- she's staring at him and --

BOURNE trying not to panic -- don't run -- smile -- stay
small -- get to the corner -- scan the options -- but --

THE METER MAID -- she's watching him go and she's pulling
her radio and --

BOURNE hitting this next corner -- banging a right --
forcing himself not to run -- glancing back and --

THERE'S ANOTHER COP -- but this one is jogging --
searching -- he's got his radio out and --   

FINALLY TO --

BOURNE bailing on the street -- disappearing into --

EXT. U.S. EMBASSY COMPOUND -- DAY

Big gates.  Speed barricades.  SEVERAL U.S. MARINES standing
guard near a gate house.  An American flag.  Lots of people
coming and going.  BOURNE playing it as normal as possible
as he heads for the entrance. 

INT. U.S. CONSULATE ZURICH -- VISA ROOM -- DAY

The passport and visa office.  Big room.  No windows.
Unpleasant on purpose.  Two lines: A short one for U.S.
Citizens, a marathon for everyone else.  CONSULATE CLERKS
stationed in open cubicles along the back wall.  And it's a
zoo.  American tourists who've lost their passports.
Foreigners looking for visas.  Asylum seekers.  Everyone
here has a problem.

BOURNE on the U.S. line.  Standing there trying to think.
What's he gonna say?  What can he say?  With the cops
outside, and the incident in the park, then the bank...

			MARIE (O.S.)
	-- no, this is not my current
	address.  It was my current address
	two days ago when I started
	standing in line outside -- 

A NEARBY CUBICLE.  Meet MARIE KREUTZ.  German.  Big energy.
Real beauty hidden beneath the armor.  And armor it is,
because this is a warrior in full, crisis battlemode.

			MARIE
	-- and so now I lost my apartment,
	I have no address, and I have no 
	visa, and you keep telling me how
	much help you cannot give me!

A CONSULATE CLERK caught in her headlights.

			CLERK
	Miss Kreutz, please... I'm gonna 
	have to ask you to keep your voice
	down.

			MARIE
	All the papers -- all the papers
	they asked for -- I brought all the
	papers --

			CLERK
	Miss Kreutz, excuse me, but you
	entered into a fraudulent marriage
	in an effort to circumvent the
	immigration laws of the United
	States --

			MARIE
	You only know that because I told
	you!
		(she's incredulous)
	Ask the case officer -- find his
	name -- it's on the papers -- I
	told him all this myself! --
		(tearing through the
				papers now--)

			CLERK
	-- it's not the source of the
	information that's important here --  

			MARIE
	-- I paid this fucking guy -- I
	paid him four thousand dollars --
	my last four thousand dollars to
	marry me, okay? -- I told this to
	the case officer last week...
		(she's found it--)
	...here -- Mr. Thomas.  I told Mr.
	Thomas I didn't know this guy was
	already married -- I admitted this!

			CLERK

That shuts her up.  Yes.  Today she's a student. 

INT. CIA OFFICE COMPLEX -- NIGHT (BUT SAME TIME)

Motion -- CONKLIN racing down a staircase -- ZORN chasing
after --

			CONKLIN
	-- and they're sure it's him? --

			CONKLIN
	-- but it was him --

			ZORN
	-- yes, sir, it's confirmed --

INT. U.S. CONSULATE -- VISA ROOM -- DAY

BOURNE on line.  Fear meter rising by the minute.

BOURNE'S POV

Scanning the room -- the perimeter -- the people -- A
TURKISH MAN almost in tears as he tries to explain his case
to a DESK CLERK -- TWO AMERICAN BACKPACKERS that have lost
their passports -- MARIE still in the midst of her madness --
A SECURITY CAMERA high on the wall capturing everything --
lots of data -- too much going on and --

			MAN ON LINE (OS)
		(from behind him)
	You're up.

BOURNE comes to.  Shit.  It's his turn.

A WOMAN CLERK waving him forward.  BOURNE trying to think --
what the fuck is he doing? -- what's he gonna say? -- now
he's at the window, and if he was looking for a friendly
face, he came to the wrong place --

			WOMAN CLERK
		(cold shit)
	You're a U.S. Citizen?

			BOURNE
	Yes.
		(pause)
	I mean, I think so.  Yes.  Yes...

			WOMAN CLERK
	Well, either you are, or you aren't.

			BOURNE
	Right.

			WOMAN CLERK
	You have your passport?

			BOURNE
	I have a passport.  I've got...
		(the bag there, but...)
	Actually, it's a little complicated.

			WOMAN CLERK
	Do you have your passport, sir?

			BOURNE
	Look, maybe I should just...

			WOMAN CLERK
	Sir, you waited on line.

			BOURNE
	Yeah, I know...

But he's already bailing, walking away from the woman, the
window, the room -- he's out of here --

INT. U.S. CONSULATE LOBBY -- DAY

BOURNE on the move -- hustling back toward the lobby --
trying to snag a view out to the street -- there's a window
just ahead and --

BOURNE'S WINDOW POV -- ZURICH COPS -- outside -- on the
street -- half-a-dozen of them lingering around the entry
gate and --

BOURNE stalled for a moment -- options dwindling -- he can't
go back to the passport office -- he can't go out the front
and --

The lobby looks tough -- there are two other points of entry
into the main building, but they're both guarded by MARINES
and METAL DETECTORS --

As he gets closer -- it gets worse --

A ZURICH POLICE INSPECTOR near the door, in deep conversation
with TWO MARINES and THE EMBASSY SECURITY OFFICER and --

BOURNE trying to burrow through the human traffic -- trying 
to get to THE LARGER OF THE TWO ENTRY GATES -- this one the
farthest from the front door and the passport office 
corridor, and it's the most crowded -- A COUPLE PEOPLE lined
up here -- waiting for one of THE THREE MARINES STAFFING
THIS POST to check their bags and pass them through a metal
detector and --

			SECURITY CHIEF (OS)
	-- stop! -- stop right there! --

BOURNE turns back -- as does everyone else in the lobby -- 

			SECURITY CHIEF
		(from across the lobby)
	-- YOU -- red bag -- the red bag --
	stop right there! -- hands up! --

BOURNE glancing back -- ONE OF THE GATE MARINES BEHIND
HIM -- the guy's raising his M-16 --

			GUN MARINE
	-- you heard him -- let's move
	it! -- down -- let's go! --

BOURNE nodding -- total compliance -- starting to drop --
but only starting, because now --

He's swinging the backpack and --

THE GUN MARINE -- nailed -- blind-sided -- no chance and --

BOURNE -- all motion -- all forward -- all perfect --
vaulting the metal detector even as he pulls ONE OF THE
PEOPLE ON LINE around to shield his back and --

ANOTHER GATE MARINE -- right there -- trying to grab him --
making his move -- BOURNE -- almost an afterthought -- his
boot -- like a knife -- out of nowhere -- SNAP! -- the guy's
arm just shattered and --

THE SECURITY CHIEF -- freaking out -- TWO MARINES WITH
HIM -- they're raising their weapons and there's people in
the lobby and --

			SECURITY CHIEF
	-- no -- no -- hold your fire! --

BOURNE -- landing hard on THE GUN MARINE -- rolling away 
from the gate -- into the building now -- coming up with the
backpack and --

			SOMEONE SCREAMING
	-- he's got a gun! -- he's got a
	gun! --

And he does -- BOURNE with the M-16! -- coming up with it --
coming up on the move -- swinging it around as he searches
for an escape route and THE GUN -- it's like a magic wand of
hysteria --

PEOPLE IN THE LOBBY -- SCREAMING -- diving away -- everyone 
dropping for cover and --

BOURNE -- bailing -- on the run -- sprinting down a 
hallway -- tossing away the M-16 as he sprints into the
building --

			THE SECURITY CHIEF

				now--)
	-- red! -- red! -- red! -- code
	red! -- South side entrance! --

	jacket -- red bag --

INT. U.S. CONSULATE OFFICE HALLWAY -- DAY

Quiet for a second -- offices on either side of a carpeted 
hallway -- BUREAUCRAT-TYPES doing their thing, when suddenly --

				says it, because--)
			
Here comes BOURNE -- coming fast -- and he definitely does
not belong back here --

INT. U.S. CONSULATE LOBBY/SECURITY GATE -- DAY

Panic -- people fleeing the lobby -- MORE MARINES hustling

INT. U.S. CONSULATE GROUND FLOOR CORRIDOR -- DAY

SECURITY CHIEF -- THREE MARINES -- sidearms drawn -- jogging
past the INNER OFFICES -- running beside them, a frantic guy
in a suit --

			DEPUTY DCM
	-- we're in the middle of a trade
	meeting! --

			SECURITY CHIEF
	-- call the code! -- I want 
	everyone out! --

			DEPUTY DCM
	-- you gotta give me more to go on --

	what, he's in the building and I
	don't know where! --

INT. U.S. CONSULATE BACK STAIRWAY -- DAY

BOURNE climbing fast -- two -- three -- stairs at a time --
racing up as a SECURITY ALARM STARTS SCREAMING -- bleet --
bleet -- bleet --

INT. U.S. CONSULATE FIFTH-FLOOR GRAND HALLWAY -- DAY

THE ALARM ringing everywhere -- TRADE CONFERENCEES -- sixty 
confused and frightened people -- spilling out into the
corridor --

INT. U.S. CONSULATE FIFTH FLOOR KITCHENETTE -- DAY

A NEW DOOR flying open -- it's BOURNE -- ready for anything,
but there's nothing -- he's in a butler's prep area off the
main conference room -- momentum stalled for a moment --
nothing in here but tableclothes and silverware and coffee
cups and --

INT. U.S. CONSULATE BACK STAIRWAY -- DAY

THREE MARINES -- armed and stoked -- staring up the
stairs -- leapfrogging -- point-to-point assault procedure --

INT. U.S. CONSULATE MAIN STAIRS -- DAY

Carpeted and grand -- SECURITY CHIEF with FIVE MARINES

Completely clogged now -- PANICKED TRADE PEOPLE all over --
EMBASSY TYPES -- trying to herd them toward the main

BLARING and --

BOURNE --

INT. U.S. CONSULATE BACK STAIRWELL -- DAY

THE ASSAULT MARINES -- still climbing -- weapons out --
clean and fast -- one more flight to go -- ready for
anything -- completely freaking out as the door above them 
on the fifth floor flies open and --

MARINE GUNS swinging up -- trigger fingers tense and --

IT'S TRADE PEOPLE! and now THEY'RE SCREAMING and this
combined with THE ALARM and THE MARINES YELLING FOR THEM TO
GET DOWN and ALL OF IT ECHOING THROUGH THE STAIRWELL and --

BOURNE -- he's CLOSING A DOOR behind him -- he's jamming A
CHAIR -- wedging it in tight so the door won't open and --

INT. U.S. CONSULATE FIFTH FLOOR GRAND HALLWAY -- DAY

THE SECURITY CHIEF -- HIS MARINES -- coming from the main
stairs -- weapons drawn -- fighting their way through the
pandemonium and --

INT. U.S. CONSULATE MAIN CONFERENCE ROOM -- DAY

BOURNE scanning for options -- the room is huge -- empty
now -- the massive conference table covered with the meeting 
papers left behind -- windows along one wall and --

BOURNE rushes to the window staring down and --

BOURNE'S WINDOW POV

Fifty feet below there's a courtyard -- it's a sheer drop --
completely fucked and --

INT. U.S. CONSULATE FIFTH FLOOR GRAND HALLWAY -- DAY

SECURITY CHIEF -- TWO MARINES -- just outside THE CONFERENCE
ROOM DOOR -- trying it -- it won't budge and --

			SECURITY CHIEF 
	-- blow it -- shoot it open! --

INT. U.S. CONSULATE MAIN CONFERENCE ROOM -- DAY

THE DOOR -- shattering -- eaten up by GUNFIRE! -- TAT-TAT-
TAT-TATTAT-TAT-TAT-TAT! and --

WHAM!  HERE THEY COME -- through the door -- guns -- eyes --

THE ROOM IS EMPTY!

EXT. U.S. CONSULATE BUILDING WALL -- DAY

BOURNE -- dangling fifty-feet above the stone courtyard! --
he's gone out the window! -- hanging there -- hanging with 
one hand -- one hand clutching the corner of a ledge and -- 

INT. U.S. CONSULATE MAIN CONFERENCE ROOM -- DAY

Utter confusion -- SECURITY CHIEF -- FIVE -- SIX -- SEVEN
ARMED MARINES all piling in -- ready to rock but there's no
one to shoot -- no target --

			SECURITY CHIEF
	-- check the closets! -- get those
	back doors covered -- there's a
	kitchen back there -- go! -- go! -- go!

TWO MARINES -- scanning the windows -- looking down and --

MARINE POV -- all clear -- no way he went down there and --

EXT. U.S. CONSULATE BUILDING WALL -- DAY

BOURNE still hanging there -- looking down -- up -- there's
no choice -- he has to go down --

BOURNE finding a toehold below him -- reaching -- touching
down -- it gives way -- crumbling and --

BOURNE hesitates.  Does he know how to do this or not?
Stalled for a moment, then...

BOURNE starts climbing down.  And this is all one shot.  No
cutaway.  No cheating.

We are watching a master at work...

Handhold to a drain pipe.  Swinging to a better ledge.  

Dropping to an air-conditioner.  Grabbing a window frame
just before the air-conditioner gives way.  Teetering there.
Now he's on the fourth floor.

Below, there's an open window on the third floor.  Struggling
to keep his balance, he reaches behind him to shift the
weight of the bag, and as he does --

THE RED BAG falls.  Thump.  Into the courtyard.  Forget the
open window.  Now he's got to go all the way.

Timing his next move and --

He's pushing off -- reaching -- there's another drainpipe
and he's snagged it -- he's got a dragline now -- starting
to fall -- straining to hold the pipe -- slowing his 
descent -- the drainpipe pulling away from it's housing and --

BOURNE letting go -- just before he falls backward --  one
last grab -- catching a gutter -- holding it just long
enough to slow his fall and --

Letting go for the last fifteen feet and --

EXT. U.S. CONSULATE FIFTH FLOOR GRAND HALLWAY -- DAY

A DOZEN MARINES -- pumped-up and listening to --

			SECURITY
	-- we're gonna go room by room
	until we find him -- so let's get
	teamed up --

EXT. AN ALLEYWAY NEAR THE U.S. CONSULATE -- DAY

MARIE storming away.  Pissed-off -- broke -- illegal --
ruined and --

			MARIE
		(German)
	(Motherfucking sonsofbitches!)
		(a new problem--)

A LITTLE RED CAR.  A beat-to-shit Euro car.  A shitty little
red car angled in beside a dumpster with a big red Zurich
parking ticket on the windshield.

MARIE grabbing the ticket -- tearing it up -- tearing the
shit out of it -- blind with misfortune -- throwing the
pieces on the ground and stomping on them and then --

			MARIE
		(looking up--)
	(What are you looking at?)

BOURNE standing across the car -- on the passenger side --

			BOURNE
	I need a ride.

			MARIE
	(What?)

			BOURNE
	I need a ride out of here.

			MARIE
	Oh, Jesus...
		(backing away and--)

			BOURNE
	Please.  I don't want to scare you.

			MARIE
	It's a little late for that.

			BOURNE
	I've got a situation here and --

			MARIE
	Get the fuck away from my car.

			BOURNE
	I'll give you ten thousand dollars
	to drive me to Paris.

			MARIE
	Great.  You know what?  I'll give
	you ten gazillion dollars to get
	the fuck away from me before I
	start screaming my head off.

			BOURNE
	You don't want the police any more
	than I do.

BOURNE tosses cash -- a stack of hundreds -- across the car
into her hands -- she catches it.  Looks at it.

			MARIE
	Jesus...

			BOURNE
	Get me out of here.  Please.

MARIE looking at him.  At the money.  Back at him, and --

INT. TREADSTONE COMMUNICATIONS DESK -- NIGHT

VIDEO PLAYBACK -- FULL FRAME -- fast forward -- a speeding
blur of images from a surveillance camera outside the Zurich

	stop -- you went past it --

			Let's get a map, let's get a grid

								ZORN
				(holding the phone)
			Sir...

CONKLIN up from the console.  ZORN waiting for him --

								CONKLIN
			What?

								ZORN
			Zurich police are looking for an
			American with a red bag.  Apparently
			he put two cops in the hospital
			last night.

Silence.  Like the floor just fell away.  So heavy.

								CONKLIN
			What the fuck is he doing?

								ZORN
			Maybe it's a game.  Maybe he's
			trying to send us a message.

								CONKLIN
			It doesn't matter now.  We've just
			got to be the first ones there.
				(decision time)
			Get everybody up.  I want them all

								ZORN
			All of them?

A moment between them.  CONKLIN all steel here now.

								CONKLIN
			You heard me.

								COM TECH #2

			Sir, the cross-ref is coming up cold...

CONKLIN breaks away -- back to the console and --

INT. HAMBURG CONFERENCE ROOM -- DAY

A boring, marathon business meeting.  FIFTEEN MIDDLE

Anything but.  Sitting here --

Meet CASTEL.  He's thirty-five.  Slender.  Clean-cut.  Easy

espresso.

EXT. A ROAD ON THE OUTSKIRTS OF ZURICH -- DAY

The little red car parked.  MARIE pacing around.  BOURNE
poring over a map spread out opver the hood.

			MARIE
	So what's in Paris?

			BOURNE
	I want to go home.

			MARIE
	For twenty thousand dollars.

BOURNE looks back from the map.

			BOURNE
	I said ten thousand.

			MARIE
	You have blood on your pants.

			BOURNE
	Okay.
		(beat)
	Twenty thousand.  Ten now.  Ten there.

			MARIE
	No.  No, that was too easy --
		(pacing away--)

			BOURNE
	Wait up --
		(after her now--)
	-- just wait up --

			MARIE
	-- get the fuck out of here -- all
	this money, this crazy offer, I
	mean give me a fucking break with
	this, this is --
		(stopping because--)

BOURNE just grabbed her.  Both of them shocked that he's
done this.  He immediately pulls back.

			BOURNE
	Look, I want a ride to Paris.
		(wide open now)
	That's all I want.  I swear.

			MARIE
	You swear?
		(cold here)
	That's great.  I feel so much
	better now.

			BOURNE
	I don't want anything but a ride.
	All I want to do is go home.

Silence now.  She looks back.  Measuring him.

			MARIE
	You could buy a car for twenty
	grand.  You could buy this car.

			BOURNE
	I don't want to go alone.  I want
	you to drive me to Paris.  Like
	we're a couple.  Like we're a 
	couple and we're travelling  
	together.  That's all we're doing.

			MARIE
	And I don't get hurt.  I get twenty
	thousand dollars and I don't get hurt.

			BOURNE
	I won't hurt you.

	What if I say no?

			BOURNE
	Then I'll find another ride.

U-STORE-IT STORAGE WAREHOUSE.

INT. STORAGE WAREHOUSE ELEVATOR -- DAY

CASTEL and THE ELEVATOR OPERATOR -- rising slowly through
the dark warehouse and --

INT. CASTEL'S STORAGE UNIT -- DAY

Darkness -- a key turning -- door opening -- light goes on
to reveal CASTEL standing there and we're in --

CASTEL'S STORAGE UNIT.  What's in here?  Like nothing.  Like
a stack of old newspapers in the corner.  Some mildewed
books piled along one wall.  Some shitty plastic chairs.

QUICK TIME CUTS

CASTEL working fast.  Closing the door.  Moving to the pile
of books.  Taking the top book off.  Opening it.

INSIDE THE BOX -- a timer.  A small bomb.  A booby-trap.
An LED light stops flashing as CASTEL'S HANDS code in his
password and --

CASTEL moving to the newspapers stacked in the corner.
Pulling away the top pile and --

A METAL LOCK BOX.  Hidden here.  CASTEL pulling it out.
Opening it.  An empty tray on top and --

CASTEL taking off his watch.  Taking off his rings.  Taking
out his wallet.  His Spanish passport.  Emptying his pockets.
All of this goes into the empty tray and --

CASTEL lifting away this top tray -- setting it aside and --

THE METAL LOCK BOX -- there's more -- a much larger bottom
compartment -- and it's deja-vu all over again -- we're
looking at the identical contents we saw Bourne find in the
Zurich safe-deposit box.

First of all...

MONEY.  Lots of it.  Ten thousand dollar stacks of hundreds.
Lots of them.  A GUN.  A very good gun.  A dozen clips of
ammo.  And FIVE MORE PASSPORTS.  All clean.  Brand new.  All
with his photo.  Five different names.  Four different
countries.  Each one of these pristine clipped to a piece
of card stock that says:

NAME:
NATIONALITY:
PLACE OF ISSUE:
SIGNATURE SAMPLE:
A BAR CODE:
Two Italian.  Two Spanish.  A Portuguese.

CASTEL going for the Portuguese passport and --

	Just so you know, if you're gonna
	burn me on the money, you might as
	well kill me.
		(Bourne looks over)
	I was supposed to have this car  
	back three days ago.  It's not my car.

			BOURNE
	I know that.

MARIE staring at him -- glancing back to the road -- just in
time -- almost rear-ending a slow moving truck --

			MARIE
	Shit --
		(trying to settle)
	Can I tell you how much you're
	freaking me out?  Okay?  Because
	you are -- you're completely 
	freaking me out.

			BOURNE
	I'm sorry.  Really.  What do you 
	want me to do?

			MARIE
	I don't know.  Smile.  Sneeze.
	Something.  You've got a bag full
	of money and a ride to Paris.  Fuck
	it, I don't know...
		(the radio)
	What kind of music do you like?

			BOURNE
	I don't know.

			MARIE
	What does that mean?

			BOURNE
	Listen to what you want.

			MARIE
		(out of nowhere)
	Who pays twenty thousand dollars 
	for a ride to Paris?

There it is.  And she wants an answer --

			BOURNE
	I don't know.  I don't know who I am.

			MARIE
	Yeah, well, welcome to the club.

			BOURNE
	No.  No, I mean, I really don't
	know who I am.  I can't remember
	anything earlier than two weeks ago.
		(it's not flying)
	I'm serious.

			MARIE
	What?  Like amnesia?

			BOURNE
	Look, go ahead...put the radio on...

			MARIE
	Amnesia?
		(total incredulity)
	You're saying you don't remember
	anything that happened before two
	weeks ago?

			BOURNE
	That's what I'm saying.

			MARIE
		(German)
	(Give me a fucking break.)

BOURNE staring at her.  She's furious.  She's downshifting --
she's accelerating -- pulling out to pass the truck on a 
blind turn, as we --

EXT. ZURICH BANK -- DAY/DUSK

APFEL emerges from the bank.  Leaving work.  Turns the
corner into a quiet side street and --

Up ahead, here comes another guy in a suit.  It's MANHEIM
walking toward us, deep into a cell phone conversation.
Barely noticing Apfel as they get closer and --

As they pass -- MANHEIM -- it's completely out of the
blue -- he's jabbing the cellphone down into Apfel's
shoulder and --

APFEL -- no clue -- already clutching at the coronary 
exploding in his chest -- dead before his body hits the
street and -- 

MANHEIM -- still walking -- he's never broken stride -- and
as he goes he's fiddling with the cellphone and --

INSERT -- THE CELLPHONE -- MANHEIM'S HANDS working to
retract a syringe into the device and --

MANHEIM striding away.  Disappearing into Zurich...

INT. PARIS MORGUE -- NIGHT

Not the best morgue in town.  Cold tile.  A wall of freezers.
Death lighting.  Now add some color.  Meet NYKWANA WOMBOSI
in the flesh.

Meet HIS ENTOURAGE -- eight or ten of his thirty children --
two of his wives -- three of his bodyguards -- the whole
crew spread out in this horrible basement room.  THE WIVES
are chatting.  THE KIDS are playing, fighting and eating candy.

THE BODYGUARDS -- three of them here -- are white.  These
guys are French/Corsican mercs.  Not quite the A-Team.  The
guy in charge of this ugly little unit is named DEAUVAGE.
Into it.  Too into it.

TWO MORGUE ATTENDANTS hanging back.  THE MORGUE BOSS --
who's clearly suffering this for a bribe -- moves to one of
the freezer lockers...

			MORGUE BOSS
		(French)
	(Okay, Monsieur Kane...number 121...)

And he pulls open FREEZER #121.  And thank God we can't see
it, because whatever's inside there is clearly horrible.
THE MORGUE BOSS barely takes a glance, standing back as
quickly as possible.

DEAUVAGE -- lead bodyguard -- moves to clear a zone for his
boss --

			WOMBOSI
	Get the fuck out of my way --
		(pushing Deauvage
				aside--)

WOMBOSI moves to the freezer box.  Stares down.  As if it
were nothing.  He's seen -- he's made -- much, much worse.
And now he reaches down into the box -- hands on --
literally feeling around this dead, awful corpse with his 
bare hands -- feeling around for something -- feeling and
feeling and not finding --

			WOMBOSI
		(turning to Deauvage--)
	It's not him.

DEAUVAGE looking pale as WOMBOSI slams shut the freezer.

			WOMBOSI
		(quiet hard fury)
	So who's crazy now?

EXT. PARIS STREET -- NIGHT

A MINI-MOTORCADE driving towards Neuilly.  Two security cars.
A van full of kids and mothers.  And one big Mercedes stretch.

INT. THE MERCEDES STRETCH LIMO -- NIGHT

WOMBOSI alone in the back.  Looking haunted.

INT. TRUCKSTOP CAF+ -- NIGHT

It's a weird spot.  Open all night.  But Euro-style.  Quiet
tonight.  A few Alpen-truckers chowing down.  A local or two
at the bar and --

BOURNE AND MARIE at a back table.  Drinking coffee.  He's
got the red bag open.  All the passports -- the personal 
junk -- the money -- all the shit from the Zurich bank
box -- he's been showing it to her --

And he's got her attention now.

			MARIE
	And you have no idea -- not a
	clue -- what came before that?

			BOURNE
	No.

			MARIE
	When you think of it, before the
	ship -- before you wake up on the
	ship, what do you see?

			BOURNE
	Nothing.  It's just not there.

			MARIE
	Well, this is great.
		(she sits back)
	I'm sick of myself and you have no 
	idea who you are.

			BOURNE
	I kept trying things, I thought if
	I could find all the things I could
	do, I could --

			MARIE
	-- you could put it together --

			BOURNE
	-- which was okay for a while, I
	was okay with it...
		(hesitating now)
	But then -- there's all these other
	things -- all these other things I
	know how to do -- and this -- this
	stuff from the bank and...
		(suddenly flat out--)
	I think something bad happened.

			MARIE
	What are you talking about?

			BOURNE
	I don't know.

			MARIE
	Sounds like you were in an accident
	or something.

			BOURNE
	I was shot twice in the back.

			MARIE
	Okay, so you're a victim.

			BOURNE
	There was a gun.  Who has a safe
	deposit box with a gun and all this
	money and all these passports?

			MARIE
	Lots of people have guns.  You're
	American.  Americans love guns.

			BOURNE
	I fought my way out of an embassy.
	I climbed down a fifty-foot wall --
	I went out the window and I was
	doing it -- I just did it.  I knew
	how to do it.

			MARIE
	People do amazing things when
	they're scared.

			BOURNE
	Why do I? -- I come in here --
	instinctively -- first thing I
	do -- I'm looking for the exit --
	I'm catching the sightlines -- I
	know I can't sit with my back to
	the door --

			MARIE
	You're paranoid.  You were shot.
	It's natural.

She's not listening.  He leans in.  Flat out now.

			BOURNE 
	I can tell you the license plate
	numbers of all three cars out front.
	I can tell you that the waitress is
	left-handed and the guy at the 
	counter weighs two-hundred and
	fifteen pounds and knows how to
	handle himself.  I know that the 
	best, first place to look for a gun
	is the cab of that grey truck
	outside.  I know that at this
	altitude I can run flat out for
	half a mile before I lose my edge.
	I knew that you were my first, best
	option out of Zurich?  How do I
	know all that?  How can I know all
	that and not know who I am?  How is
	that possible?

Long dead pause.

			MARIE
	God, you're not kidding, are you?

INT. TREADSTONE RESEARCH DESK -- DAY

BOURNE'S FACE -- a video image frozen on A COMPUTER
SCREEN -- it's Bourne looking at the camera -- Bourne
looking up at the camera in the consulate passport office
and --

PULL BACK TO REVEAL

HALF A DOZEN COMPUTER MONITORS -- and lots of shots of
Bourne -- twenty angles -- twenty different locations --
twenty candid perspectives of Bourne and his mad scramble
through the consulate --

CONKLIN and RESEARCH TECH #1 poring over these surveillance 
tapes downloaded from Zurich --

			CONKLIN
	And that's the best angle of the 
	courtyard?

			RESEARCH TECH #1
	That's the only angle.

			CONKLIN
	What do they have on the streets?
	The area.  They must have something.

			RESEARCH TECH #1
	Hang on...
		(typing away--)

CONKLIN rubbing at the tension in his temples as ZORN enters --

			CONKLIN
	What?

			ZORN 
	Abbott.  He knows about the embassy.
	He's coming down for a show and tell.

			CONKLIN
	That'll solve all our problems.

			RESEARCH TECH #1
		(he's hit paydirt)
	Sir...

			CONKLIN
		(turning back--)
	What's that?

			RESEARCH TECH #1
	It's an angle of the street -- some
	sort of alleyway -- you can just...

			CONKLIN
	Enhance it.

INSERT -- THE MONITOR -- as the image enlarges to fill the
screen.  And there's Bourne.  And the little red car.  And
Marie.

			CONKLIN (OS)
	Who the hell is that?

EXT. ZURICH AIRPORT HOTEL -- NIGHT

A drone barn.  Practically on the runway.

INT. ZURICH AIRPORT HOTEL ROOM -- NIGHT

One of those rooms.  Just a plain functional box.  MANHEIM
laying on the bed.  Fully dressed.  Suit and tie.  Just
laying there, staring at the ceiling.  Who knows how long
he's been like this.

Just waiting.

ON THE NIGHTSTAND -- A gun.  A knife.  His e-phone pager.
His fresh credentials.  And a photo of Jason Bourne.

INT. WOMBOSI'S PARIS COMPOUND -- NIGHT

Quick orientation: Picture a heavily-walled palace just
off the Bois Du Boulogne.  But once inside you could be back
in Brazzaville.  It's just a buffet of oddness.  Home to
fifty children and nine wives.  The decor blends money and
nouveau riche materialism with a hard, back-home tribal
esthetic.  It's a visual treat.  Not condescending or stupid,
but flat-out strange and menacing.

It's late.  And the palace is dark and sleepy now, but carry
all that through this next series of quick shots --

WOMBOSI HOUSE SECURITY STATION

Just inside the door.  BODYGUARD #1 slouched before a bank
of SECURITY MONITORS.

WOMBOSI MAIN HALLWAY

Littered with toys.  Children's crap everywhere.  BODYGUARD
#3.  Snoozing on a Louis Quatorze chair draped with African
cloth.

WOMBOSI THRONE ROOM DOORS

DEAUVAGE -- head bodyguard -- posted outside this imposing
set of doors.  He's trying to stay awake.  Reading a spy
thriller.

FINALLY TO

WOMBOSI'S THRONE ROOM

And there he is -- the emperor himself -- WOMBOSI on his
throne.  Except the room is dark and empty.  And he's
sitting there by himself.  A king without a country.

Sitting there.  With a gun in his lap.  Drinking hard from a 
bottle of Jack Daniels.

Stewing.

EXT. FRENCH ROADSIDE -- DAWN

Beautiful morning.  The red car parked along the road.
BOURNE alone in the passenger seat.  Deep asleep.  Nestled
there.

And then, he wakes suddenly.  Starts.  Freaked for a moment.
Instantly feeling for the red bag.  There it is in his lap.
He looks around and --

MARIE sitting away from the car.  She's got a loaf of bread.
A soda.  Smoking a butt.  Same clothes, but her make-up's
been washed away.  Clean.  Simple.  Gorgeous.

BOURNE steps out.  Morning legs.

			MARIE
	I needed a break.

			BOURNE
	Where are we?

			MARIE
	We're about an hour away.

			BOURNE
	I can't believe I slept.

			MARIE
	You were tired.  Here...
		(bread and soda--)
	For twenty-thousand I like to throw
	in breakfast.
		(he takes it)
	So what do you dream about?

			BOURNE
	I dream I'm asleep.  I dream that
	I'm asleep and I can't wake up.
		(he takes a hit from
				her smoke and
				coughs--)
	I don't think I smoke.

Another silence.  She's watching him.

			MARIE
	You ever think maybe you have a family?

			BOURNE
	I thought about it.  I don't know.

She looks away.  Was she hoping for another answer?

			MARIE
	I guess it's like Christmas every
	day for you, huh?

INT. TREADSTONE CONKLIN'S OFFICE -- DAY

MARIE'S FACE -- A PASSPORT PHOTO -- she's eighteen -- she's
smiling -- really alive and fresh and --

CONKLIN behind his desk.  ABBOTT staring grimly at the
picture --

			ABBOTT
	Who is she?

			ZORN
	Marie Helene Kreutz.  She's twenty-
	six.  Born outside Munich.  Father
	was a welder.  He died in '91.  We
	don't have the mother.  There might
	be a step-sister, we're trying to 
	track that down.
		(apologetic)
	It's tough.  She's a wanderer.  She
	pops up on the grid here and there
	but...I mean, the last time she
	paid an electric bill in Europe was
	'94.  No taxes.  No steady employer.
	She's got three arrests.  Two
	shoplifting cases, one in Spain,
	one in Germany.  And she actually
	did three months in an Italian
	detention center for credit card fraud.

			ABBOTT
	No political affiliations?

			CONKLIN
	She's a gypsy.  If it's a cover,
	it's a great one.

			ABBOTT
	I'm assuming we're exploring that
	possibility.

			CONKLIN
	We're exploring every possibility.
		(tighter by the moment)
	We are in pursuit.  How much more
	do you want me to tell you?

			ABBOTT
	Pursuit would indicate that you
	know exactly where he is.

			CONKLIN
	No.  Pursuit ends when we know
	exactly where he is.

			ABBOTT
	Yes, well, I think we need some 
	fresh eyes on this problem.  I'm
	bringing in some people from upstairs.

CONKLIN hesitates.  Inside he's screaming.

			CONKLIN
	We've been down here for two weeks
	banging our heads against the wall.
	We've been sleeping down here.  We
	just got our first lead fourteen
	hours ago, and now? -- now that we
	finally have something to work
	with -- you want to bring planning
	personnel down here?
		(real steam)
	I'd rethink that.

			ABBOTT
	I want a second opinion.

			CONKLIN
	This is an operations desk.

			ABBOTT
	I'm not asking.

EXT. PARIS STREET NEAR BOURNE'S APARTMENT -- DAY

THE LITTLE RED CAR cruising through town.

INT. THE LITTLE RED CAR -- DAY

MARIE driving.  BOURNE checking building numbers as they
pass --

			BOURNE
	Slow down.  No, don't stop.  Just...

			MARIE
		(looking over)
	That's it?  Is that it?

AN APARTMENT BUILDING.  Big building.  Elegant but cold.

			BOURNE
	Four-fifty.  That's the address...

			MARIE
	Looks familiar?

			BOURNE
	No.
		(staring back as they
				pass--)
	No.  Go around.  Keep going...

MARIE pulling up -- turning a corner -- watching him as she
does.  But he's pre-occupied -- eyes scanning -- taking it
all in --

			MARIE
	Where?

			BOURNE
	Yeah.  Pull in here.  Park it.

MARIE angles into an alleyway.  Cuts the engine.

			MARIE
	So this is it, right?

			BOURNE
	I guess.

Dead pause.  She's waiting.  He's still scanning the street.

			MARIE
	I should go.

			BOURNE
	I don't remember any of this.

			MARIE
	Jason...

He turns back.  She's staring at him.

			BOURNE
	Sorry.  The money, right?

Before she can say anything, he's digging in the backpack.
He pulls out another stack of hundreds.  Hands it over.  She
takes it.  It's not what she wanted, but she's used to being
disappointed.  Fighting it.

			MARIE
	Okay, so...

			BOURNE
	Thanks for the ride.

			MARIE
	Anytime.

Silence.  That moment.  He focuses.  Getting it.

			BOURNE
	Look, I don't know what's up there.

			MARIE
	You got me pretty fucking curious.

			BOURNE
	Look, you could come up.  Or you
	could wait if you want.  I could go
	check it out.  You could wait.

			MARIE
	Nah...
		(hide the pain)
	With you, I mean, you'd probably
	just forget about me, right?

			BOURNE
	How could I forget about you?
		(he smiles)
	You're the only person I know.

MARIE smiles.  We've never seen it before.  Worth waiting for.

INT. PARIS APARTMENT BUILDING FOYER -- NIGHT

BOURNE and MARIE standing at the directory.  Five apartments.
One per floor.  Five names.  A buzzer.  An intercom.  There
it is.

J. Bourne.

BOURNE presses the buzzer.  After a moment, he presses again.
Nothing.

			MARIE
	I guess you're not home.

BOURNE checking the door.  How to pop it open?  Just about 
to get into it, when --

			CONCIERGE (OS)
		(from the shadows
				inside--)
	(Monsieur Bourne...I'm coming...)

THE CONCIERGE is sixty.  Plump and proper.

			CONCIERGE
		(opening the door--)
	(Mr. Bourne, there you are -- I was
	wondering -- I haven't seen you --)

			BOURNE
	(Here I am.)

THE CONCIERGE looking at BOURNE like maybe she's never seen
him look like this before.  And she's looking at MARIE like
here's the reason her tenant looks like such shit.

			BOURNE
		(he tries a smile)
	(I seem to have lost my key.)

THE CONCIERGE nods.  Instant chilly disapproval.

			CONCIERGE 
	(I've been ringing your bell.  It's
	good you were away.  We had some 
	trouble with the hot water.  It's 
	been repaired.)

			BOURNE
	(Great.  We could use a shower.)
		(they look like
				shit--)
	(It was a long drive.)

THE CONCIERGE steps aside and --

INT. PARIS APARTMENT FIFTH FLOOR LANDING -- DAY

BOURNE and MARIE at the apartment threshold.  He has a key now.

Turning it.  And the door opens...

Nothing...

No bombs.  No wife and kids.  No one.

INT. PARIS APARTMENT -- DAY

A huge, rambling flat.  Large entry hallway.  Large rooms
beyond that.  It's obviously expensive.  But cold.
Completely impersonal.  No photographs.  No mementoes.  No
human history.

WE'RE MOVING NOW

THE LIVING ROOM

BOURNE and MARIE exploring.

			MARIE
	It's big.

BOURNE silent.  Struggling to get a feel for the place.

			MARIE (CONT'D)
	This is like a real apartment.
		(she likes it)
	This is really yours?

			BOURNE
	I guess so.

MARIE taking it in fast.  BOURNE seems paralyzed.  Trying to
soak it all in.  Willing himself home.  Touching things as
he passes.  As if a texture, a smell -- something will
become familiar.  He's deep into this as we go to --

THE BEDROOM

MARIE in the doorway.  Checking it out.  It's so clean and
simple.  But it's not the decor she's most interested in...

MARIE opening an armoire...

Nothing but men's clothes.  No competition.  She's feeling
better by the moment as we go to --

THE KITCHEN

Like a stage set.  Lots of props and no sign of food.
BOURNE picking up a frying pan.

			BOURNE
	This is my frying pan.
		(and then--)
	This is my spoon.
		(trying harder)
	I'm Jason Bourne and this is my
	kitchen.

THE MASTER BATHROOM

MARIE still on the prowl.  Mirror city.  Big tub.  One
toothbrush.

AN OFFICE STUDY

There's a desk.  Chair.  Phone.  Basic.  BOURNE with a
folder in his hand.  Staring at the bookshelves.  Binders,
reference materials and hardbound volumes -- all of it about
maritime law.  Ship schedules.  Registry catalogs.  All
about boats.

			MARIE
	This is your office?
		(from the doorway)
	God, you live like a monk...

			BOURNE
	All this stuff -- it's all about
	boats.
		(looking up)
	I think I'm in the shipping business.

			MARIE
	See.  It's starting to come back,
	yeah?
		(he sort of nods)
	You mind if I take a bath?

			BOURNE
	Go ahead.

MARIE backs out.  BOURNE alone again.  Standing there for a
moment.  Dealing with it.

And then he sits down in a chair.

BOURNE sitting there.  Staring.  The room, the desk -- it's
all so devoid of personality.  And then, something catches
his eye and --

INSERT -- THE DESK TOP -- a faint silhouette through the
dust and grime.  Outlines of where a computer used to sit.

BOURNE reaching suddenly under the desk.  Bingo.  Pulling
out a retractable computer keyboard tray.  But it's empty.
No keyboard.  Now he's really confused and --

INSERT -- A PHONE/ANSWERING MACHINE -- BOURNE pressing the
playback button and --

			PHONE MACHINE
	"You have no messages."

BOURNE leaving that for a moment -- about to anyway -- and
then he turns back -- new idea -- pressing for the speaker
phone -- and then hitting redial and --

THE PHONE stars dialing...

RINGING and...

			OPERATOR/PHONE
	Bonjour, Hotel Marboeuf...

BOURNE quick grabbing the receiver.  Taking it off
speakerphone and --

			BOURNE
	...yes -- oui -- uh...

			OPERATOR/PHONE
	(Yes, sir.  Hotel Marboeuf, Paris.
	How can I direct your call?)

			BOURNE
	Paris?

			OPERATOR/PHONE
	Yes, sir...
		(switching to English,
				thinking that's his
				problem--)
	How can I help you?

			BOURNE
	Yes, I'm...I'm looking for Mr.
	Jason Bourne.

			OPERATOR/PHONE
	One moment, please...
		(a long pause, and
				then--)
	I'm afraid, I have no one by that
	name registered, sir.

			BOURNE
	D'accord...  Merci.
		(about to hang up--)
	Un moment -- un moment --

			OPERATOR/PHONE
	-- sir? --

			BOURNE
	-- hang on -- I need you to check
	another name for me -- hang on --
	un moment, s'il vous plait --

BOURNE grabbing the backpack -- tearing through it -- where
is it? -- where is it? -- shit and money falling out and --

There it is -- from the safe-deposit box -- that piece of
card stock -- the one with no passport attached to it --

			BOURNE (CONT'D)
		(reading it)
	Kane.  Do you have Mr. John Michael
	Kane?

			OPERATOR/PHONE
	One moment, sir.

BOURNE waiting.  And then there's muzak -- holding music and --

THE MASTER BATHROOM

Water running in the tub.  MARIE pulling off her boots.
Checking the temperature.

THE OFFICE STUDY

Bourne still on hold.  And then --

			MANAGER/PHONE
		(a new voice suddenly)
	Bonjour?  Monsieur?  Allo...

			BOURNE
	Yes, I'm here...

			MANAGER/PHONE
	You call about Monsieur Kane?  John 
	Michael Kane?

			BOURNE
	Yes.  Is he there?

			MANAGER/PHONE
	You are a friend of his?

			BOURNE
	Yes.

			MANAGER/PHONE
	I have some very bad news for you,
	sir.  I'm terrible sorry to have to
	tell you this, but Monsieur Kane
	has passed away almost two weeks ago...

Silence.  BOURNE is rocked.  But the Manager, it's natural,
he interprets the silence as grief...

			MANAGER/PHONE
	There was an accident.  On the
	motorway.  Apparently, he was
	killed instantly.  Really, I'm
	terrible sorry to be the one to
	tell you this...

			BOURNE
	...I understand...

			MANAGER/PHONE
	...we actually, we were unaware for
	several days that this had happened.
	When they came for his things, it
	was made known for us, you see?

			BOURNE
	Who?  Who came?

			MANAGER/PHONE
	His brother.  You know his brother?

			BOURNE
	Right.  Yes.  Of course.

			MANAGER/PHONE
	It's very bad this.  Terrible sad.
	Such a young man.

			BOURNE
	Do you -- his brother -- do you
	have a phone number?

			MANAGER/PHONE
	I think not...
		(quick French to
				someone in the office
				there--)
	No, I'm sorry.  It was very sudden.
	He was here very briefly.

BOURNE just hands up the phone.  Just like that.  Not even
goodbye.  Standing there frozen.  Stunned.  John Michael
Kane is dead.  And he had the passport.

Suddenly, everything's changed.  They shouldn't be here.
This is bad.  Danger.

THE MASTER BATHROOM

MARIE playing with her hair in the mirror.  Checking the
water --

			MARIE
		(calling out to him--)
	She wasn't kidding about the water.
	It's freezing.

THE OFFICE

BOURNE frozen there.  On alert.  He forces a smile.  Decoy mood.

			BOURNE
	Hang on.  I'll check the kitchen...
		(moving out of the
				office--)
	Maybe it takes a while to get all
	the way upstairs.

THE KITCHEN

BOURNE moving to the sink.  He's smiling.  Upbeat.  But it's
an act.  His eyes are everywhere.  Turning on the water.
But ignoring it.  What he's really doing is searching out a
weapon.  Pulling A KNIFE very quietly from behind the stove.
Holding it.  Feels pretty comfortable.  Hiding it down by
his side.  On the move again, now --

			BOURNE
	Yeah, it's cold in here, too...
		(calling to her as he
				goes--)
	Let's give it another minute.

BOURNE like we've ever seen him.  Like an animal.  Every
sound -- every breeze -- everything carries information.

Standing still.  Taking it all in.

Real quick layout -- there's big windows along one wall that
face out to the street below.  The hallway to the bedroom
and bath feeds into the living room from one side.  There is
a large frosted airshaft window along that hallway wall.
Simple furniture.

			MARIE
		(suddenly--)
	-- omigod! --
		(she's behind him--)
	-- what're you? -- no -- no --

MARIE backing away -- completely freaked -- BOURNE standing
there with the knife in his hand and --

			BOURNE
	-- no -- Marie -- no! -- it's not
	like that --

			MARIE
	-- please -- Jason -- omigod --

			BOURNE
	-- quiet -- quiet --

MARIE -- frightened -- confused -- paralyzed for a moment --

BOURNE glancing back -- a curtain fluttering behind him --
motioning for MARIE to get down -- do it -- now -- down!

MARIE hesitating and --

BOURNE -- what's he doing? -- he's unscrewing a lightbulb
from a lamp beside him and --

MARIE about to say something -- he shakes her off --

BOURNE -- knife in one hand -- lightbulb in the other --
putting his foot on a chair in front of him and --

			MARIE
	...what are you doing?...

BOURNE waving her to shut up -- crawl -- now -- back up --
get under the window -- go! --

MARIE -- he seems so sure -- it's weird, but she's doing
it -- she's under that frosted window -- down below the
sill -- looking back -- what the fuck is he doing now? --

BOURNE -- the lightbulb -- he's tossing it across the 
room -- over her head -- into that frosted window and --

As she ducks down -- 

As it SHATTERS --

EVERYTHING STARTS HAPPENING AT ONCE

PHFT!-PHFT!-PHFT!-PHFT!-PHFT!-PHFT! -- silenced automatic
weapons fire -- raking into the apartment and --

THE FROSTED WINDOW peppered with holes and --

MARIE on the floor as THE WINDOW SHATTERS above her and --

CASTEL -- he's in the airshaft! -- hanging from an abseil
rope -- but off guard -- FIRING BLIND -- strafing the
apartment and --

BOURNE kicking that chair across the room and --

CASTEL reacting -- instinct -- moving target --

THE CHAIR just strafed to shit and --

BOURNE rolling away and --

CASTEL -- he's coming in -- last pieces of window frame
CRASHING AWAY as he swings into the apartment and --

MARIE -- right below him -- shit raining down as he flies in
and --

BOURNE throwing the knife and --

CASTEL -- turning -- too late -- the knife catching him in
the neck and --

BOURNE -- in motion -- attacking and --

CASTEL -- knife impaled in his neck -- clawing for it with
one hand -- trying to get off a shot and --

APARTMENT WALL -- PHFT!-PHFT!-PHFT!-PHFT!-PHFT! -- gunfire 
tearing wildly around the room and --

BOURNE -- full-stop -- kicking the gun -- kicking it up --
ROUNDS TEARING ACROSS THE CEILING and --

MARIE -- SCREAMING NOW -- trying to crawl away and --

CASTEL -- no chance -- off balance -- BOURNE -- his open
palm driving up into CASTEL'S JAW -- the body wants to fall
backward, but BOURNE has the guy's arm in his free hand --
jerking it like rope -- tearing it from it's socket and --

THE GUN CLATTERING FREE across the floor and --

BOURNE -- his knee -- like a piston -- hard into CASTEL'S
GUT -- and then down -- his foot -- down into CASTEL'S KNEE,
shattering it and --

CASTEL is on the floor -- stunned -- wiped -- knife pouring
blood from his neck -- arm hanging like a rag doll -- bone
torn through his pant leg above the knee and --

			MARIE
	omigod -- omigod -- what're you
	doing? -- what're you doing? --
		(incoherent fear and 
				confusion, German and
				English and--)
	-- what is he? -- what've you? --
	omigod -- what is this? --

BOURNE ignoring her -- grabbing the guy's backpack --

			MARIE (CONT'D)
	-- what're you doing? -- Jason,
	please, tell me what's happening!

			BOURNE
	Open it --
		(tossing Castel's
				backpack behind him--)
	-- do it -- what's he got in there?

CASTEL -- eyes wild -- tries to make his feet --

			BOURNE (CONT'D)
	Who are you? 
		(kicking him down--)
	-- who are you?

CASTEL -- crablike against a wall -- bloody hands leaving a
mess as he struggles to get to his feet --

			BOURNE
	-- who are you? -- tell me who you
	are -- who sent you? --
		(bearing down)
	-- what is this about? -- YOU'VE 
	GOT TO TELL ME WHAT THIS IS ABOUT! --

CASTEL -- staring back -- eyes wild -- mouth shut -- his
expression -- is it terror or pure steel? --

			BOURNE (CONT'D)
	WHY ARE YOU TRYING TO KILL ME?

			MARIE
		(suddenly from behind)
	...omigod, no...

MARIE -- the guy's backpack -- something in her hand -- and
as freaked out as she was a moment ago -- this is worse --

			BOURNE
	What? -- what? --
		(attention split--)
	-- what is it?

			MARIE
	...this is my picture... he's got
	my picture --
		(holding it up, in
				horror--)
	-- this is me -- this is Zurich --
	this...this...this is yesterday --

			BOURNE
	-- just --

			MARIE
	-- where does this come from? --
		(to Castel)
	How do you have my picture?

			BOURNE
	Marie, just --
		(waving her back--)
	-- just stay there! -- just --

			MARIE
	-- he's got my picture! -- this is
	yesterday! -- this is me! --
		(out of control now--)
	-- where did you get my picture? --

			BOURNE
	-- let me do this, okay? --

			MARIE
	-- do what? -- what are you
	doing? -- he's got my picture --
		(just apoplectic--)
	-- he's -- my God -- look at him --
	he's bleeding to death -- my
	picture -- look! -- he was trying
	to kill us! -- omigod --

Now there's KNOCKING AT THE DOOR and --

			THE CONCIERGE
		(muffled but urgent)
	(Mister Bourne!  Mister Bourne!
	What's going on?  Is everything all
	right in there? --)
		(and she keeps
				banging and--)

MARIE is past the point of rationality and CASTEL is
bleeding and shaking and BOURNE is trying to think and it's
just impossible and --

Suddenly -- CASTEL is moving! -- and fast -- it's
superhuman -- unbelievable -- just enough spring in his good
leg and --

BOURNE bracing himself but --

CASTEL isn't attacking! -- he's running away -- he's
crossing the living room -- but there's nowhere to go --
absolutely nowhere -- except --

THE WINDOW

CASTEL hurling himself into the glass and --

EXT. THE PARIS APARTMENT BUILDING -- DAY

WINDOW SHATTERING! -- CASTEL -- in a cloud of broken
glass -- sixty feet above the street --

Falling and falling and...

IMPACT! -- landing on the roof of a parked car and --

INT. THE PARIS APARTMENT -- DAY

THE APARTMENT -- BOURNE in motion -- five things at once --
checking the window -- kicking the gun away -- grabbing the
red bag -- grabbing what he can -- no time to spare and --

			THE CONCIERGE
		(still outside the
				door--)
	(--I'm calling the police, Mr.
	Bourne -- you give me no choice --
	I'm calling them right away! --)

			BOURNE
	-- your shoes -- Marie! -- where? --
	where are your shoes? -- Marie --

MARIE standing there in utter shock -- paralyzed -- the
picture in her hand -- the broken glass -- all of what just
happened --

			MARIE
	He's dead isn't he?

			BOURNE
	Marie -- look at me -- there's no
	time for this --

			MARIE
	He went out the window -- why? --
	why would someone do that?

			BOURNE
	-- we can't stay here -- I can't
	stay here -- it's not safe here --

			MARIE
	He came to kill us.

			BOURNE
	-- we can go -- I can get us out of
	here -- but we have to go now --

			MARIE
	You knew he was coming.

			BOURNE
	No.

			MARIE
	I trusted you.

			BOURNE
	You're wrong.  I didn't know.

			MARIE
	I don't trust anybody and I trusted
	you!

			BOURNE
	I didn't know this would happen.

			MARIE
	He had my picture!  He knew I was
	here!  He came here to kill us!

			BOURNE
	And where is he now?
		(that gets her quiet)
	You believe what you want, but I'm 
	telling you the truth -- I never
	would have brought you here if I
	thought it was dangerous.

			MARIE
		(totally overwhelmed)
	Oh, Jesus...

			BOURNE
	You stay -- if you want, you
	stay -- it's okay -- it's better --
	maybe it's better -- I don't
	know --
		(starting to back
				away--)
	But I can't stay here.  I can't.

			MARIE
	But the police --

			BOURNE
	-- there's no time --

			MARIE
	-- we'll explain it --

			BOURNE
	-- how? --

			MARIE
	-- there's two of us -- we'll tell
	them -- we'll just --

			BOURNE
	-- forget it --

			MARIE
	-- we'll tell them what happened --

			BOURNE
	I don't know what happened!
		(huge here)
	I don't know who he is!  I don't
	know what he wants!  I don't even
	know who I am!  The only thing I 
	know is that if I stay here, I'm
	never gonna find out!

BOURNE -- that's it -- grabbing the backpack -- pulling it
on -- just about to make his move --

She's standing there.  Just utterly swamped.  Lost.

			BOURNE (CONT'D)
	Come with me.
		(she turns back, he's
				waiting--)
	I can get us out of here.  I know
	it.  Then we can think.  Then we 
	can work it out.  We'll explain it
	then.  Once we're safe.
		(rock solid)
	I can protect you.

EXT. THE PARIS APARTMENT BUILDING -- DAY

A CROWD is gathered around CASTEL'S BODY.  Rubberneckers and
people pointing up to the broken window -- THE CONCIERGE
running out to the street and getting the news and THE SOUND
OF SIRENS bleeding in from the distance and --

THE CAMERA PULLS BACK TO FIND

THE LITTLE RED CAR pulling out of the alley.  Turning away
from the scene.  Disappearing into the streets of Paris --

INT. WOMBOSI COMPOUND MAIN HALLWAY -- DAY

THRONE ROOM DOORS flying open -- WOMBOSI exploding out into
the hallway --

			WOMBOSI
	-- No! -- I say, no! -- they go
	this far -- out a body in the
	grave -- another body! -- no! --
	this isn't over -- these people are
	not finished -- nothing will make
	them finish until they have
	Wombosi! -- the real Wombosi --
	until I'm the one in the box! --

SIX KIDS -- TWO WIVES -- THREE BODYGUARDS -- all startled by
this steamrolling mass of energy and paranoia --

			WOMBOSI
	-- what are you doing? --
		(bearing down on
				Bodyguard #2--)
	-- sleeping? --
		(to Deauvage--)
	-- he's sleeping! -- this man is
	sleeping at his post! --
		(kicking the chair
				out from under him--)
	-- I've had men killed for this! --
		(but he's still
				moving--)
	-- you think these people? -- these
	people who come for me -- you think
	they sleep? -- they never sleep! --
	they spend all the day -- all the
	night -- all time thinking about
	how to put Wombosi in that box! --
		(he's just gonna keep
				going, and we're 
				into--)

A MASSIVE ONE-TAKE TRACKING SHOT

DEAUVAGE on his feet -- racing to follow -- KIDS scattering
out of the way -- THE WIVES completely unfazed and --

			WOMBOSI
	-- there is no box for Wombosi! --
	they don't have a box that can hold
	me! -- I know these people -- I
	know they never sleep! -- I know
	they never stop! -- they never stop
	until the knife is at their
	throat! --
		(suddenly distracted--)
	-- what is the window? -- this
	window is open! -- who leaves this
	open! --
		(before Deauvage can
				possibly respond--)
	-- this is a war, you fool! -- you
	think these people are like you? --
	you think this is stupid people? --
	careless people? -- these people
	see an open window, they reach in
	with a big hand and grab your heart
	until you die! --
		(still rolling as--)

WE'RE HEADING DOWN TO THE POOL

			WOMBOSI
	-- and it won't just be me! -- they
	don't just want Wombosi now! --
	they want my babies -- they want my
	children! -- and I say no! --
		(grabbing Deauvage--)
	-- you leave that window open again,
	you better pray they kill me --
		(something's caught 
				his ear in the 
				distance and now he's
				trying to get there--)
	-- everything changes here now! --
	everyone is a soldier here now! --
	this is a fortress now!  Are we
	clear with this?

			DEAUVAGE
	Yes, sir.  All clear.

WOMBOSI stops to look at DEAUVAGE.  In the background, we
can hear A CHILD CRYING by the pool --

			WOMBOSI
	This man is out there.  Kane is out
	there.  And they pretend he's dead.
	That means he's coming back.

WOMBOSI moving quickly now and WE'RE STILL TRACKING --
taking him into --

THE POOL AREA

FORTY KIDS going nuts in the water.  ONE KID crying.
WOMBOSI like a shot -- picking the kid up -- drying his
tears -- making a funny face -- getting a smile as --

INT. GARE DU NORD -- DAY

BOURNE and MARIE stash the red bag in a locker.

INT. CIA PSYCHOACOUSTICS LAB -- DAY

AN ELECTRONICS CONSOLE.  Super-tech.  Meters -- LEDs --
wave-form analyzers -- audio spectrum filters -- all of this
gear dancing and responding to every nuance of --

BOURNE'S VOICE -- OVER SPEAKERS -- we're listening to a
recording of the call he made from the apartment to the
Hotel Marbeouf Paris --

							BOURNE/TAPE
					"Okay.  Merci."
			(pause)
					"Un moment -- un moment --"
				
							OPERATOR/TAPE
					"-- sir? --"
					
							BOURNE/TAPE
					"-- hang on -- I need you to check
					another name for me -- hang on --
					un moment, s'il vous plait --"

PULL BACK TO REVEAL

A secret studio buried deep in the Langley facility.
Equipment up the ass.  Five people in this darkened room: AN
ENGINEER working the board.  CONKLIN looking sour.  ZORN in
the shadows.  ABBOTT sitting there waiting for analysis from --

MRS. DOYLE.  She's late sixties.  A long-time spy shrink.
An eminence.  A diamond-hard, seen-it-all intelligence.

			BOURNE/TAPE
	"Kane.  John Michael Kane."

			OPERATOR/TAPE
	"One moment, sir."

MRS. DOYLE nods to THE ENGINEER.  She's heard enough.

			MRS. DOYLE
	He's not lying.  He's very highly
	stressed, but he's not lying.  He's
	confused.  He's aggressively
	searching for a way out of the 
	chaos.  This conversation, the 
	video from the consulate -- the
	body language, vocal pattern --
	it's my sense he's really lost here. 
		(beat)
	I think he snapped.

			CONKLIN
	Is that a medical term?

She turns.  Battle lines drawn.

			MRS. DOYLE
	You want clinical terminology?
	It's called, "conversation
	hysteria."
		(to Abbott now--)
	I don't know exactly how you train
	these people.  I'm not sure I want
	to know.  I'll take a guess there's
	some extremely rigorous behavior
	modification going on here.

Silence.  The idea dangling for a moment.

			ABBOTT
					Let's assume that's true.

			MRS. DOYLE
					You can only wind people so tight. 
					Even machines break down.

			CONKLIN
					This unit has an unblemished record 
					of success.

			MRS. DOYLE
					Then I guess I'm in the wrong meeting.

EXT. BELLVILLE CAR PARK -- DUSK

BOURNE and MARIE stashing the red car.

INT. CIA HALLWAY UPSTAIRS HALLWAY -- DAY

ABBOTT and CONKLIN walk and talk.  They want to get loud,
but they can't.  Too many people passing by --

			CONKLIN
	That was two hours -- two hours to
	get a second opinion -- and nothing
	changes.  He's loose.  He's out of
	control.  It's very clear what
	needs to happen.
		(point blank)
	I have work to do.

			ABBOTT
	What if he is working for someone
	else?  What if he turned?

			CONKLIN
	Turn?  To who?  Where does he turn?
	What does he have to offer?  He's
	got nothing.  He's a killer.  He's
	a piece of equipment for crissake.
	Where's he gonna turn?

EXT. HOTEL DE LA PRIX -- NIGHT

Funky.  Out of the way.  Cash and carry.  No-questions-asked
kind of flop.  Our establishing shot somehow includes THE
PROPRIETOR and HIS DOG.

INT. THE HOTEL ROOM BATHROOM -- NIGHT

HAIR DYE washing down a rusted drain.  It's MARIE alone in
this crappy little bathroom.  Jeans and bra.  All of it
soaking wet.

A new hair color.

A MIRROR.  There she is.  Her turn to stare at herself and
wonder.

And then she smells something.  Smoke...

INT. THE HOTEL ROOM -- NIGHT

It's a shitty little room.  BOURNE sitting on the bed.  And
the smoke is coming from...

HIS PASSPORT -- the Jason Bourne passport -- on fire.
BOURNE holding it as it burns away.  Bourne's face --
melting -- bubbling -- finally disappearing, -- BOURNE
letting go just before it burns his fingers and --

BOURNE sits back.  And there's MARIE standing there.  And
she's holding out her passport --

He looks at her.  Big moment.

			BOURNE
	No.
		(he won't do it)
	You know who you are.  You know
	what that's worth?  That's
	everything.
		(pause)
	I can't live like this.  I can't do
	anything until I know who I am.
	Believe me, you don't want what I have.

He looks away.  Silence.  And then, she touches him.  His
shoulder.

BOURNE almost recoils.  Almost.  He doesn't know what to do.
Doesn't know how to react.

MARIE in front of him now -- she's taking his hand -- and he
hesitates -- looking at her -- is this happening? -- she's
taking his hand -- moving it down her body -- staring at
him -- both of them silent -- his hand -- her skin -- his 
mind racing -- he wants this -- wants it in every way -- but
it's overwhelming -- when was the last time something like
this happened? -- he can't remember -- he doesn't care -- 
he's pulling her toward him -- and they're kissing -- and
you know the rest...

INT. CDG AIRPORT -- NIGHT

THE PROFESSOR arriving in Paris.  Coming through the
terminal as his pager goes off -- never even stopping as he
reads and --

...................................................

HOTEL SEQUENCE -- SKETCHED ONLY

HOTEL MARBOEUF PARIS.  This is the place that answered the
phone when Bourne hit redial in his apartment.  This is the
place that John Michael Kane was staying when he "died."

And so begins, the investigation...

Now, since the presence of danger -- ie Wombosi's guys
and/or Treadstone -- is still up in the air, and since this
scene could either play very quickly or very long, and since
we're not exactly sure where we stand with page count --
this scene is not finished.

The rules of the scene, however, seem to be thus: Bourne
would have to be very nervous about being recognized.  If he
was Kane and Kane stayed here, he's not the guy to do 
whatever "social engineering" needs doing.

Long version?  Bourne sets the table and Marie gets the 
goods.  Somehow there's a threat from Treadstone or Wombosi.

Fast version?  It's all results -- we see them execute a 
plan rather than work it up.  MARIE is already in the hotel.
In a hotel uniform?  Posing as a guest?  In any case, she
looks very much different than we've ever seen her before.

She gets close to the office.  Hides.  Waits.  BOURNE calls
the desk from a pay phone.  Asks for something.  We see that
some sort of improvised booby-trap has been set inside the
hotel to start a fire.  In the confusion -- MARIE -- very 
bravely -- gets into the office.  We do a quick cut outside
to Bourne waiting and --

...................................................

EXT. STREET OUTSIDE THE HOTEL MARBOEUF -- DAY

Walk and talk.  BOURNE and MARIE leaving the hotel fast.
He's on alert -- always on alert now -- making sure they're
not being watched.  And she's excited and pumped -- she did 
it! -- she's got the hotel record in hand --

			MARIE
	You stayed there five times in the
	past six months.  But I didn't have
	time -- I could only get the bill
	from the last stay -- you were
	there for two days.  Some room 
	service -- there's half a dozen
	phone calls here so that's someth--

			BOURNE
		(cutting her off)
	Who paid the bill?

			MARIE
	It's a company... MPG Capital.

INT. AN EMPTY OFFICE SUITE -- DAY

Vacancy wasteland.  Dead phone lines hanging.  Carpet pulled
up.  Completely stripped out.  BOURNE and MARIE standing 
there staring.

			MARIE
	This can't be it.

She turns around -- and what's he doing? -- BOURNE with a
piece of paper and pencil -- or something/anything 
resourceful and handy -- maybe it's carpet lint -- maybe
it's breaking the glass on the door and holding it up to the
light -- or a rubbing -- anyway, he's doing something 
ingenious with the glass door --

And as he's doing this, we're hearing --

			TELEPHONE VOICE (OVER)
		(British, female)
	Destin Navigational, can I help you?

			BOURNE'S VOICE (OVER)
	Hey, how are you.  I'm trying to
	reach Richard?  Is he there.

We're watching the MPG LOGO emerge and seeing BOURNE and
MARIE react, as we hear --

			TELEPHONE VOICE (OVER)
	I'm afraid there's no Richard here.
		(continuing into--)

INT./EXT. SHITBAG PARISIAN PHONE BOOTH -- NIGHT

BOURNE on the pay phone.  MARIE behind him at the bar.  He's
got a pad and paper.  This is all business.

			BOURNE
	Well, where are you?  Where am I 
	calling?

			TELEPHONE VOICE (OVER)
	This is an answering service, sir.
	The company's located in Southampton,
	but--

			BOURNE
	-- this is a tire dealership, right?

			TELEPHONE VOICE (OVER)
	No sir, this is a navigational
	chart registry.  I'm afraid you
	have the wrong number.

Dial tone.  BOURNE making a note.  And as he does --

TIME CUT -- one minute later -- call number two --

			NEW VOICE (OVER)
		(French, male, hassled)
	(Marseille-Tropez Marina, how can I
	help you?)

			BOURNE
	(Hey, so this is the Marina, right?)

			NEW VOICE (OVER)
	(Yes, sir.  Can I help you?)

			BOURNE
		(he's got the number)
	(This is the one in Marseille, right?)

			NEW VOICE (OVER)
	(Last time I looked.)

TIME CUT -- one minute later -- call number three --

			OPERATOR RECORDING (OVER)
	(The number you have dialed has
	been disconnected.  If you think 
	you've reached this message in
	error--)

TIME CUT -- one minute later -- last call --

			RECORDED VOICE (OVER)
	"You've reached the office of Simon
	Rawlins at Alliance Security
	Maritime Division.  Paris office
	hours are from nine a.m. to six p.m.
	If this is an emergency, please
	call our twenty-four hour help line
	at..."

BOURNE hangs up.  Scribbles down the number.  Backing away
and --

INT. TREADSTONE RESEARCH DESK -- NIGHT

CONKLIN and the RESEARCH TECHS jamming on the console --

			CONKLIN
	-- let's check that Interpol window
	again --

			RESEARCH TECH #1
	-- I'm on it --

			CONKLIN
	-- I want that red car -- the 
	girl -- we gotta get lucky here --

			RESEARCH TECH #2
	Sir.
		(Conklin turns--)
	I've got a code here from NSA --
	they're not gonna give us Keyhole
	satellite clearance unless we have
	sign-off from upstairs.

CONKLIN turns and --

			ABBOTT
	No.
		(sitting there tensely)
	We can't risk it.

			CONKLIN
	Our last sighting was forty-eight
	hours ago.  Even if they stayed in
	the car, the grid is huge.
		(please)
	This is it.  He's trained --
	conditioned -- they're built to
	disappear.  You give him another
	day to run and we may never find him.

			ABBOTT
	This doesn't go upstairs.

CONKLIN left hanging.  ABBOTT clear on this one.

EXT. EST. SHOT -- LA DEFENSE -- DAY

Monolithic tech.  Reflection city.

INT. ELEVATOR -- LA DEFENSE -- DAY

BOURNE dressed for success.  Suit.  Cleaned up good.
Catching his reflection in the elevator's mirrored ceiling.
Nerves on edge.

INT. OFFICE LOBBY -- DAY

ALLIANCE SECURITY MARITIME DIVISION.  Glossy posters of
yachts, tankers and luxury sailboats.  BOURNE standing there.
Sucking it up.  God knows what he's walking into here and --

INT. ALLIANCE SECURITY -- DAY

A SECRETARY leading BOURNE through a suite of offices and
into --

INT. PETER RAWLINS' OFFICE -- DAY

Meet RAWLINS.  He's a young, jolly Brit -- pink and
overfed -- and quite shocked to see...

			RAWLINS
	Mr. Kane...
		(hastily tidying up)
	Come right in...please...have a seat.

			BOURNE
	Thanks.

BOURNE just trying to feel his way through this...

			RAWLINS
	Well...
		(really thrown)
	I must admit, when my assistant
	told me you were here I was,
	really -- I was quite -- I was
	surprised.

			BOURNE
	Really.

			RAWLINS
	We thought you were gone for good.

			BOURNE
	Did you?

			RAWLINS
	Well, I mean it's a tough business,
	isn't it?  Cutthroat.

A long awkward beat.  Neither of them sure where to go.

			RAWLINS (CONT'D)
		(finally)
	Look, our bid -- it was
	competitive -- but definitely at
	the high end of competitive -- when
	we didn't hear back from you, we
	did some re-analysis of the numbers,
	and honestly, we'd really like a
	chance to do a bit better.
		(pitching now)
	I'm assuming you're still in the
	market.  It's the same vessel?

			BOURNE
	Yes.

			RAWLINS
	We just picked up a job quite like
	the one we were bidding for you.
	Gorgeous boat, hundred-and-seventy-
	five-foot pleasure cruiser.  I
	think we learned a few things that
	might allow us to make our proposal
	for your job, as I said, a bit more
	competitive.

			BOURNE
	Okay.

Another beat.  Rawlins holding back until now...

			RAWLINS
	Was it the break-in?

			BOURNE
	Excuse me?

			RAWLINS
	We also thought we hadn't heard
	from you -- we've had a bit of a
	publicity nightmare, people have
	been talking.
		(the meat)
	Our offices were broken into --
	vandalism mostly -- shortly after
	we last spoke.

			BOURNE
	I hadn't heard.

RAWLINS smiles.  Reset.  Sales mode.

			RAWLINS
	Let me get you a new copy of the
	proposal.

			BOURNE
	That'd be great.

INT. A CAFÉ NEAR LA DEFENSE -- DAY

BOURNE entering.  And there's MARIE in the back working a
payphone -- waving for him to sit -- she's onto something.

BOURNE sits.  Pulls out the Alliance Security Brochures and
literature.  Flipping through it.  Boats.  Water.  He's
getting closer.  Pictures of yachts and various security 
blurbs and a list of references for huge yachts -- jobs
they've done in the past...

			MARIE
	I found it.
		(standing there)
	It took six calls.
		(she's creeped out)
	I found Kane.  I found the body.

			BOURNE
	Let's go --
		(already standing--)
	We got to get away from this phone.

INT. PARIS MORGUE FRONT DESK -- NIGHT

THE TWO MORGUE ATTENDANTS watching BOURNE put down a hundred
dollar bill.  MARIE standing a little off -- she will not be
comfortable in the morgue.

			ATTENDANT #1
		(picking up the cash)
	(What was the name again?)

			BOURNE
	Kane.  John Michael Kane.

			ATTENDANT #2
	(It's number 121.)

			BOURNE
	(I want to see the body.)

			ATTENDANT #1
	(Our boss could come back.  We're
	not supposed to.)

BOURNE pulling out another hundred and --

MORGUE FREEZER ROOM

It's showtime.  MARIE back by the door.  BOURNE right on it.
ATTENDANT #1 pulling open the freezer and...

BOURNE sags.  ATTENDANT #1 looking baffled.

			MARIE
	What?

INSERT -- FREEZER #121 -- it's empty.

			MORGUE BOSS (OS)
		(from behind them--)
	(What the hell's going on here?)

Here comes the boss back from his break -- a little drunk?

			ATTENDANT #1
	(This guy, he came to see the
	American, but the body, it's missing.)

			MORGUE BOSS
	(They came last night.  His brother.)

			ATTENDANT #2
	(It's not in the book.)

			MORGUE BOSS
	(Who are these people?)
		(now English to Bourne)
	Who are you?  What's going on here?

			BOURNE
	Where did this body go?

			MORGUE BOSS
	I said, someone came last night --
		(big attitude now)
	Look, this isn't a carnival --
	people call and they make an 
	appointment and they follow the
	rules -- everyone signs in and
	out -- this is a serious place --
	serious work -- it's not just to
	come in whenever you like --

			BOURNE
		(like a shot)
	Shit, we didn't sign in.

			MORGUE BOSS
	So get the hell out of here.

			BOURNE
	Fine.  But I'd like to sign in.  In
	fact, I insist on it.  Where's the
	book?  I gotta sign in --
		(off and running
				now--)

Everybody following -- all of them confused -- and into --

FRONT DESK AREA

BOURNE there first -- all forward motion here -- balls out --

			BOURNE
	Is this it? --
		(the book)
	-- this is it, right? --

			MORGUE BOSS
	-- slow down -- you can't just take
	the book like that --

			BOURNE
	-- don't sweat it, I have a pen --
	no problem -- just let me find the
	page --
		(then quick to Marie)
	-- honey, why don't you wait for me
	outside, okay? --

MARIE trying to take the hint, but she's curious what he's
doing --

			MORGUE BOSS
	-- we have rules here, this is a
	very serious place -- I'm the one
	who decides who gets in here, okay? --

			BOURNE
	-- what do I? -- I put the name of
	the person I came to see? --

			MORGUE BOSS
	-- this is serious business down
	here and we cannot have people
	coming and going --

			BOURNE
	-- here we go -- I found it --

But he's not writing -- he's ripping -- tearing the page out
of the book --

			MORGUE BOSS
	(-- what are you? -- what are you
	doing? -- you crazy fuck -- you
	ripped the book! -- you stupid
	fucki--)
		(no chance to finish
				this, because--)

BOURNE just slammed him against the wall.  Hard.  Like a
tractor hit him.  And fast.

And that shuts up the room.

THE TWO ATTENDANTS rushing to help their boss --

BOURNE grabbing MARIE and pulling her out the door --

EXT. PARIS STREET -- NIGHT

Moments after the morgue.  BOURNE striding away.  MARIE
struggling to keep up.  And BOURNE is different now --
zoning in -- he's close -- he's hardening --

			MARIE
	What are you doing? --
		(he's scaring her)
	-- Jason -- stop -- talk to me...

BOURNE ignoring her -- ripping through the Alliance Security
brochures -- scanning them as he walks --

			MARIE
	-- I don't know what you're doing
	and you're scaring me -- what are
	you looking for? -- what just
	happened in there? --

			BOURNE
	Nykwana Wombosi.
		(he stops, holding up
				the brochure--)

			MARIE
	What is that?

			BOURNE
	It's a name.  Mr. Wombosi owns a
	thirty million dollar yacht.  He's
	the proud owner of an Alliance
	Security package.
		(handing her the
				brochure--)
	He also paid a visit to the morgue
	to see John Michael Kane.
		(the ripped-out
				page--)

			MARIE
	What does that mean?
		(but he's walking
				again--)
	Jason, what does that mean?
		(she's trying to 
				catch up, but he's
				walking really fast--)
	Jason, please...who is he?

			BOURNE
	I don't know.
		(he's not turning
				back again--)

			MARIE
	So what are we doing?

			BOURNE
	Go back to the hotel.

MARIE just stops.  Reeling.

BOURNE walking away.  Into Paris night and --

INT. CONKLIN'S TREADSTONE OFFICE -- DAY/NIGHT?

ABBOTT alone here.  On the phone.  Looking up to see --

			ZORN
	They found him.  They found Bourne.

ABBOTT jumps off the call.  Eyes never leaving ZORN.

			ABBOTT
	Where?

			ZORN
	You better come in.

EXT. L'ETOILE -- NIGHT

THE PROFESSOR -- A MOTORCYCLE -- screaming through traffic
and --

INT. WOMBOSI'S SECURITY ROOM -- NIGHT

VIDEO MONITOR -- there's BOURNE -- staring up and --

			DEAUVAGE
	(Jesus fuck, what is this?)

INT. TREADSTONE RESEARCH DESK -- NIGHT

VIDEO MONITOR -- different angle -- more clandestine -- but
same deal -- there's BOURNE just standing there and --

			ABBOTT
	Omigod.

EXT. WOMBOSI COMPOUND -- NIGHT

BOURNE live.  On the street.  Bathed in a streetlight.  
Staring up at a security camera.

Total hero moment.

I'm here.  I'm waiting.  I know you're watching.

EXT. WOMBOSI COMPOUND -- NIGHT

Confusion to say the least -- WOMBOSI -- pistol in hand --
moving as fast as he can through the clutter -- KIDS
scattering as he follows DEAUVAGE -- racing for THE SECURITY
ROOM --

INT. TREADSTONE COMMUNICATIONS ROOM -- NIGHT

CONKLIN -- ZORN -- ABBOTT -- THE TECHS -- everyone plugged
into the tension here --

			CONKLIN
	-- how long? --

			COMM TECH #1
	-- minutes -- he's close --

EXT. NEUILLY STREETS -- NIGHT

THE PROFESSOR on the speeding cycle -- closing in fast and --

EXT. WOMBOSI'S COMPOUND -- NIGHT

BOURNE standing there as the FRONT GATE opens.  The moment.
The big deep breath.  He's walking in --

INT. TREADSTONE COMMUNICATIONS DESK -- NIGHT

Uglier by the second -- desperation madness --

			ABBOTT
	-- he went inside! --

			CONKLIN
		(to Abbott)
	-- if we can get a clean shot --

			ABBOTT
	-- inside the house? --

			CONKLIN
	-- that's what they're trained 
	for -- just a surgical strike.

			ABBOTT
	Forget it.

			CONKLIN
	What do you want to do?

			ABBOTT
	We don't know what we're into!

			CONKLIN
	We're in the shitter, man!  Pick
	your poison.  Maybe he's in there
	to finish the job.  Maybe he's
	working for Wombosi.  Maybe they
	want to go on TV together.  Every
	possibility sucks -- we've got to move!

INT. WOMBOSI COMPOUND MAIN HALLWAY -- NIGHT

DEAUVAGE and BODYGUARD #1 giving BOURNE a serious pat down.

			BOURNE
	Is he here?

DEAUVAGE doesn't answer -- spinning BOURNE around -- they're
really going over him --

INT. TREADSTONE COMMUNICATIONS ROOM -- NIGHT

CONKLIN on his feet -- ABBOTT beet red -- this is getting
loud --

			CONKLIN
	You don't have the stones for this.
	You people come down here and wink
	and whisper and we send these guys
	out and get it done.  And you're
	clear.  And the guys upstairs get
	what they want.  And the whole
	bunch of you are so stuffed on
	deniability it's coming out of your
	ears.
		(gauntlet)
	Well, you know what?  You're here
	now.  What do you want to do?

ABBOTT just shaking his head no.

And CONKLIN snaps -- suddenly he's over the console --
there's the button -- and he's pressing it and --

EXT. NEUILLY ROOFTOPS -- NIGHT

THE PROFESSOR in position -- roof of the house next door --
hum -- hum -- hum --

It's the E-PHONE PAGER -- he's just been activated and --

INT. WOMBOSI'S COMPOUND HALLWAY -- NIGHT

BOURNE being marched toward the throne room doors --
DEAUVAGE and BODYGUARD #1 flanking him -- KIDS and WIVES
staring as he passes -- the way you'd look at a prisoner on
the way to the gallows --

THE BIG DOORS thrown open wide and --

WOMBOSI on the throne.

			WOMBOSI
	Come in.
		(an imperial gesture)
	Please...

BOURNE steps up to the plate.

			WOMBOSI
	Did you bring investment advice for
	me tonight?  It was tax shelters,
	wasn't it?  Swiss debenture-swaps.

			BOURNE
	MPG Capital.

			WOMBOSI
	I think investment advice from a
	dead man, it's a bad idea.
		(beat)
	How does it feel to be dead?

			BOURNE
	It's a lot more stressful than I
	thought.

KIDS have started sneaking into the room -- DEAUVAGE is
trying to scoot them out but --

			WOMBOSI
	-- no -- no, let them in! -- let
	them in.
		(to the kids)
	Come in -- on y va -- come in...
		(to Bourne)
	I think everyone wants to see the
	dead man.

BOURNE watching the kids -- they are all staring --

			WOMBOSI
	What do you do?
		(on his feet now--)
	You get an appointment with me?
	You make sure it's on the boat?
	You come visit me -- you pitch me
	this bullshit investment package.
	You drink my water -- eat my
	bread -- play with my children --
	and what? -- two nights later you
	come back and you put this death --
		(slamming something
				down onto the
				throne--)
	-- you put this in my engine room!

There is A BOMB on the throne now.

			WOMBOSI
	So this is a different kind of
	meeting.
		(steam building)
	Maybe now we talk some truth, okay?
	One dead man to another.

BOURNE -- caught off guard as -- WOMBOSI suddenly rips away
his jacket -- so hard that he tears straight through to the
shirt --

BOURNE'S BACK -- bare -- two bullet scars -- still raw --

			WOMBOSI
	You see this?
		(calling to Deauvage--)
	I told you my shot was better!

			DEAUVAGE
	(He went in the water -- how did he
	live?)

			WOMBOSI
	No, no no...
		(and he means this--)
	This is a strong killer.  This is a
	crazy strong killer.  Oh, yeah...
		(circling)
	To make a killer that looks like
	you?  This young?  This face?
		(he means this)
	It's bloody fucking amazing.

BOURNE imploding -- this news -- the kids staring at him --
the bomb -- it's all getting loud around him --

			BOURNE
	Who do you think sent me?

			WOMBOSI
	I know who sent you.  I don't know
	why.
		(this could get
				physical at any
				moment now--)
	I learned many, many things from
	the CIA.  Many things.  I learned
	the way they think. 
		(beat)
	Was the bomb on my boat supposed to
	go off or not?

BOURNE distracted by the kids -- these faces -- it's...

			WOMBOSI
	You didn't set the bomb.  Why?

BOURNE not sure -- about any of it --

			WOMBOSI
	Was this a game or a fuck up?

			BOURNE
	I don't know.

			WOMBOSI
	Get the kids out!

He doesn't have to say it twice -- they know the drill --
they're gone.

			WOMBOSI
	And the door.

DEAUVAGE closing the doors and as he does --

THE PROFESSOR ATTACKS...

...................................................

THIS SCENE HAS NOT BEEN WRITTEN

It's a shootout.

The Professor is infinitely more talented at this than the
bodyguards.

Bourne needs to get out of there -- without looking wimpy --

No children are harmed.

As the Professor rallies -- he will shoot Wombosi -- he will
find Bourne's jacket left on the floor (in which later he
will find a clue leading him to Belleville) and last but
hardly least, he will take a parting shot at the bomb still
sitting there on the throne.

There will be a huge, trailer-worthy explosion.

This might not want to be very long.  There is an extensive
action sequence just around the corner.

So Bourne escapes.  Physically he's just weary.  Emotionally
he's fucked.

All of that happens and we cut to --

...................................................

INT. TREADSTONE COMMUNICATIONS DESK -- NIGHT

CONKLIN flipping out -- THE PROFESSOR is not responding --

			CONKLIN
	-- code him again -- punch it in --

			COM TECH #1
	-- he's not responding --

			CONKLIN
	-- the paging unit must be damaged --

			COM TECH #2
	-- we just ran a remote diagnostic,
	sir, it's not the unit --

ABBOTT looks like he might puke.  ZORN watching his career
burn to the ground around him.

			ABBOTT
	What are you doing?

CONKLIN grabbing shit -- like a madman --

			CONKLIN
	I'm going to Paris.

			ABBOTT
	No you're not.  You're not going
	anywhere.  I'm shutting this down.

			CONKLIN
	You're not doing shit.  You're so
	scared you can't even think.

			ABBOTT
	You just blew up a house in Paris!
	This program is over.  Call it off.

			CONKLIN
	I can't call it off.  He's not
	responding.  Get out of my way.

CONKLIN splits and --

INT. THE HOTEL ROOM -- NIGHT

It's really late.  BOURNE enters the room.  MARIE in the
corner.  Smoked out.  Cried out.  Lifed out.

Silence.  Not a word.

His shirt is torn to shit.  He scraped-up -- blood here and
there.  He moves past her into --

THE BATHROOM

His hands shaking as he tries to wash them.  He bags it.

THE ROOM

BOURNE comes out.  And there's a long silence until --

			MARIE
	It doesn't matter who you were
	before.  It's who you want to be.
	That's all that matters.
		(is he listening?)
	We have this money.  We have what
	we have.  I had nothing before and
	now, I don't know, maybe I have
	more, maybe it's nothing, but...
		(he looks over)
	I say we leave here.  We leave this
	place.  We go until we can't go
	anymore.

			BOURNE
	You could do that?

			MARIE
	Yes.  That's who I want to be.

BOURNE nods.  Turns off the light.  Takes her hand.  And
they lay in bed.  Just laying there.

INT. PARIS SOMEWHERE -- NIGHT

THE PROFESSOR cooping somewhere.  Tending to his wounds.
Ignoring his pager.  He's slipped off the grid.

INT. HOTEL ROOM -- DAWN

BOURNE and MARIE packing up to hit the road.  Together.

		 ...................................................

DOUG'S ROUGH DRAFT OF THE BIG ACTION SEQUENCE

INT. HOTEL DE LA PAIX -- LOBBY -- DAY

MARIE dropping off the key.  Hope hangs in the air --

			CLERK
	xxxxxx...

			MARIE
	xxxxxx

BOURNE enters.  He's got the black duffel.  Car keys.

			BOURNE
	xxxxxx.

			MARIE
	xxxxxx

And now they're headed for the door.  Something doesn't feel
right for BOURNE -- and then he notices --

			BOURNE
	Stop where you are.

			MARIE
	What?

Bourne turns back to the CLERK.

			BOURNE
	Where's the dog?

			CLERK
	My husband's out looking for him.

			BOURNE
	He run away often?

			CLERK
	That old beast?  Miss his breakfast?
	Not a chance.
		(returning to cleaning)
	It's always something, right?

Suddenly -- just like that -- everything's different --

			BOURNE
	Get in the basement.

			CLERK
	What?

			BOURNE
		(to Marie)
	Get everyone down in the basement.

Now MARIE doesn't need a second warning --

			CLERK
	What the hell're you talking about?

			BOURNE
	You're in danger.  All of you.  I
	have no time to explain.

			CLERK
	Wait a minute --

			BOURNE
	I'm sorry.

-- those words -- the way he said it -- she's grabbing her
purse, clearing out of the room.  Slamming the door behind 
her -- click -- it's locked.

			MARIE
	Jason...

No answer -- too busy -- reaching under the check-in
desk, coming up with -- A SHOT GUN, an old one, but
nonetheless a gun --

			MARIE (CONT'D)
	Who is it?  Who's out there?

And now BOURNE is moving, pulling open a drawer.  A box of
shells.  Filling his pockets.

			BOURNE
	xxxxxx

			MARIE
	xxxxxx

			BOURNE
	I won't let that happen.

And he is moving down the small hallway.  Away from the
front door -- towards the back door under the stairs.

EXT. HOTEL DE LA PAIX -- COURTYARD -- DAY

THE HOTEL BACK DOOR -- kicked open -- BOURNE coming out of
the house -- coming hard -- and --

The small courtyard is empty -- but now the ALARM is going
off -- and BOURNE turns back to MARIE -- races to grab her
as --

RATATATAT -- The FRONT DOOR -- WINDOWS -- ARE SHREDDED
and -- here comes the PROFESSOR.

			BOURNE
	xxxxxx

			MARIE
	xxxxxx

And now they are running, across this little courtyard.  To
a wall -- BOURNE is up, on it -- reaching down for MARIE --
grabbing her -- swinging her over the wall as --

BAM!!!  The PROFESSOR SHOOTS.

			BOURNE
	Go!

MARIE takes off running.  BOURNE leans over the wall, FIRES
BACK TWICE -- RATATAT -- The WALL IS SHREDDED.  BOURNE takes
off running -- reloading on the fly.

Rounds a bend, is chambering two rounds when he sees -- a
WOMAN is in her kitchen -- staring at him -- no time to
explain -- he turns back --

The PROFESSOR is just vaulting over the wall.  BOURNE FIRES
TWICE -- BAM!  BAM!  But the spray is too wide from this
distance.  Windows are shattered to both sides of him but --
the PROFESSOR stumbles but keeps going -- blood on his face
now -- RATATAT --

BOURNE has to move.  Reloading his almost useless gun.
Reaching MARIE -- facing a choice and they climb a wall -- 
FLOWER POTS EXPLODE around them but they make it -- now --

RUNNING IN A LABYRINTH -- right -- then left -- through a
small staircase.  LEAPING a wall -- landing on a STEEP 
ROOF -- sliding, falling, crashing to the ground in --

A SMALL COURTYARD -- steep walls on all sides.  But there's
a large window -- and it's open.  And they step through and
find themselves --

INT. CHINESE RESTAURANT -- BATHROOM -- DAY

They close the window behind them -- catch their breath --

			MARIE
	Did we lose them?

BOURNE shakes his head.  Tucks the gun under his coat.

			MARIE (CONT'D)
	Who is it?

			BOURNE
	We have to keep moving.

And now he is opening the door -- they step into --

INT. CHINESE RESTAURANT -- DAY

STARTLED KITCHEN WORKERS stare as BOURNE and MARIE calmly
walk out of the bathroom and head towards the front door of
the empty restaurant.  Quiet.

And then they open the door to the street and --

EXT. BELLEVILLE -- COMMERCIAL STREET -- DAY

The first thing we notice is noise.  The street is burgeoning
with life.  The second thing we notice are SIRENS.  POLICE
CARS approaching.  BOURNE and MARIE head down the street,
blending in.

Up ahead -- TWO POLICE CARS snaking through traffic.  BOURNE
steers them off this crowded street.

			BOURNE
	xxxxxx

			MARIE
	xxxxxx

EXT. BELLEVILLE -- QUIET STREET -- DAY

And BOURNE and MARIE are hurrying down this street when --
BAM -- The PROFESSOR comes out of a building -- across and
down the street.  No time to hide -- he's seen them -- 
he's FIRING.

BOURNE tackles MARIE to the ground behind a car.  RATATAT --
The PROFESSOR is literally shredding it.  And now BOURNE is
moving --

			MARIE
	What are you doing?

And BOURNE is on the offensive.  BAM!  BAM!  Moving towards
the PROFESSOR who is ducking behind cars on the other side.

They are shredding the street -- FIRING ruthlessly at each
other and -- NOW THE POLICE ARE HERE -- BLOCKING both ends
of the street.  GUNS are drawn -- BOURNE's vulnerable on two
flanks.  The COPS are YELLING.  And now --

THE PROFESSOR BLASTS the COPS -- And now things have changed.

THREE WAY FIREFIGHT and BOURNE grabs MARIE and they dive
into --

INT. SMALL EPICERIE -- DAY

And the PROFESSOR shreds the store as BOURNE attemps to
fire back.  SHIT flying everywhere in here -- hard to see
and -- The PROFESSOR is advancing on them -- cops are no
match for his fire power.  They move to the back -- kick
open a door --

INT. HIGHWALLED COURTYARD -- DAY

BOURNE and MARIE cross this small courtyard, the PROFESSOR
is right on their heels.  CRASH through a door -- and now
they are in --

INT. SMALL SWEATSHOP -- DAY

COUPLE of ASIAN WOMEN sewing in here.  One MAN in charge --
and BOURNE and MARIE charging through -- the MAN about to 
say something -- but now the PROFESSOR is on their tail and --

INT. SMALL AFRICAN SHOP -- DAY

Making god knows what in here -- vats of something.  Small
grouping of workers -- BOURNE shutting the door behind
him -- it's shredded with BULLET HOLES.  BOURNE and MARIE
racing to the next door as -- BAM -- the PROFESSOR kicks the
door open -- BOURNE about to fire -- but there is a WOMAN
right behind the PROFESSOR!  Can't do it -- turns to run
as -- RATATATAT --

The PROFESSOR FIRES as BOURNE and MARIE dive into --

INT. LIVE POULTRY SHOP -- DAY

And now CHICKEN feathers are flying everywhere -- the glass
at the front of the door is shattering.  BOURNE and MARIE 
make it through the gauntlet.

EXT. BELLEVILLE -- STREET -- DAY

And BOURNE and MARIE are running.  And he is reaching into
his pocket -- fishing around -- and just as he pulls out the
car keys -- we recognize this as the street they parked
their car on and --

BY MARIE's CAR

BOURNE unlocks the door -- pops MARIE's open.  And --

THERE'S A COP -- yelling at them and -- BOURNE hits the
gas -- they fly out of their parking space -- BAM!!  The COP
fires, shattering their windshield and there -- up ahead --
THE PROFESSOR coming out -- about to FIRE -- BOURNE aims for
him -- forces him to dive out of the way and --

ONE QUICK MOVE around a TRUCK and they are free.

INT. THE LITTLE RED CAR

BOURNE and MARIE looking back nervously -- so far all over --

ON THE STREET

The PROFESSOR looking around.  PEOPLE staring at him --
covered in blood -- the COP racing up -- yelling -- not
yelling for long because the PROFESSOR is firing at him and --

Now the PROFESSOR is moving -- not running -- just a swift
walk and now he's past the truck -- and --

A MOTORCYCLIST comes flying down the street -- oblivious --
going way too fast for these streets and -- the PROFESSOR
swings his gun stock like a bat -- takes him out -- clean
and smooth -- bike crashing to the ground and --

The PROFESSOR grabs the bike and takes off -- SHOOTING at
TWO POLICE CARS just racing to the scene and we are into --

EXT. BELLEVILLE BLVD -- DAY

HIGH SPEED CAR CHASE.  And BOURNE better do some fancy
driving because here comes the PROFESSOR -- and he's a lot
faster -- much better armed.

INT. MARIE'S CAR 

BOURNE driving.  MARIE looking back -- seeing the PROFESSOR
gain on them --

			MARIE
	xxxxxx

			BOURNE
	xxxxxx

And -- THE PROFESSOR FIRES -- SHREDS the back off their car --

			MARIE
	Give me the gun --

And now she's got his shotgun, leaning out the window.

			BOURNE
	Wait 'till he's close.

BOURNE swerves, up on the sidewalk back onto the street --
slaloms through the traffic -- racing towards an intersection
and --

IN THE INTERSECTION

CARS coming the other way, BOURNE just makes it through --
the PROFESSOR tries to squeeze through -- skidding and --

CRACK!  The PROFESSOR hits the front of a car sideways on
his bike -- he is THROWN clear through the intersection,
right into the windshield of an oncoming car and --

He gets up, grabs his gun and works his way towards his bike
and now we see --

EXT. VARIOUS SHOTS AROUND PARIS -- DAY

COPS are mobilizing -- swarming into this area and --

BACK TO THE CAR CHASE --

BOURNE and MARIE pick up a few cops on their tail -- shed
all of them -- the last car goes into an EXPLOSIVE FLIP --
the PROFESSOR is now right behind them.  And now we are into --

CRAZY CAR CHASE WITH COPS RIGHT ON THEIR TAIL

BOURNE, MARIE and the PROFESSOR leave a trail of totaled
cars that the cops have to try and navigate through --
finally saying fuck it and hitting a few cars themselves and
now we are into --

CAR CHASE THROUGH NARROW STREETS

MARIE'S CAR and the MOTORCYCLE can pass where the police
cars cannot.  BOURNE may be able to shed the cops, but not
the PROFESSOR.  And now one quick move and they are --

EXT. QUAI -- DAY

Racing against traffic up the Seine.  Past the Louvre.  COPS
pursuing on the other side of the river.  BOURNE and the
PROFESSOR leaving behind a trail of carnage.  And now --

The PROFESSOR is pulling up along side them -- one lane over.
Both swerving to avoid oncoming cars and --

MARIE FIRES -- TWICE -- TAKES out a few windshields.  The
PROFESSOR fires at the same time -- MARIE'S CAR DOOR --
GONE -- she's totally exposed but --

THE PROFESSOR -- his BIKE is SPOUTING GAS -- one of the
pellets nailed his tank.

BOURNE AND MARIE --

			MARIE
	xxxxxx

THE PROFESSOR -- No problem -- he's unwrapping a piece of
duct tape from the barrel of his gun -- two seconds and the
hole is patched and -- BOURNE AND MARIE -- the side of the
car is completely gone -- the PROFESSOR is gaining -- across
the river dozens of police cars are racing alongside.  Many
more can be seen on their side -- a road block ahead --
running out of options and --

BOURNE turns hard -- crashes over the sidewalk and flies
down a side street.  A POLICE CAR pulls out behind them --
the PROFESSOR can't stop -- skidding hard, turning the bike
sideways, skidding out -- sliding across the ground and
BAMMM!!!  SMASHING into a GLASS PHONE BOOTH which shatters.

And he's up -- lifting up his bike and --

BOURNE AND MARIE

SIX POLICE CARS on their tail -- more joining.  Every street
they look down has POLICE CARS racing in parallel.  Running
out of options and in the background --

THE PROFESSOR is back in the game -- passing the police cars
and up ahead --

THE ROAD IS BLOCKED.  POLICE ROAD BLOCK -- cops with guns.
Gotta act quick and -- BOURNE turns hard left -- there's a
metro staircase -- only way out and --

THEY BOUNCE down the stairs.  CRASH through the doors down
below.

THE FIRST POLICE CAR -- no way he's following.  SLAMMING on
his brakes.  SKIDDING to a halt -- SKIDDING sideways --
gonna stop in time -- just at the edge of the steps and then --

THE SECOND POLICE CAR isn't braking -- T-BONES the first
car -- BAM!!! -- sends it rolling sideways down the steps
until it crashes to a halt at the bottom -- upside down.

THE PROFESSOR -- he's turning -- heading for a different set
of stairs.  BOURNE AND MARIE -- crashing through the
turnstiles -- people diving out of their way and --

AT THE STAIRCASE -- THE WINDOW of the POLICE CAR is kicked
out and -- TWO VERY ANGRY COPS emerge -- pull their guns 
out -- head into the station.  BOURNE and MARIE's world just
got a lot more dangerous and --

THE PROFESSOR is racing down the other staircase -- an up
escalator -- people diving out of the way as --

BOURNE and MARIE slalom through the station -- suddenly --
there's the PROFESSOR -- parallel corridor -- metal
barricades keep them separated.  PROFESSOR FIRING.

UP AHEAD -- a horizon line -- BOURNE guns it -- a steep
staircase and -- THEY FLY down the steps -- landing on --

THE METRO PLATFORM

The PROFESSOR lands on the other side -- both racing down
the platform -- PROFESSOR tearing up the wall behind them
and -- HERE COMES A TRAIN -- on BOURNE and MARIE's side --
travelling the opposite way -- temporary refuge.  Not for
long -- there's no way out on this end of the platform.
They skid to a halt -- just as --

THE TRAIN DOORS OPEN -- STARTLED STRAPHANGERS stare at
BOURNE and MARIE as they stop onto the platform -- take off
running.

THE PROFESSOR has to turn his bike around.  He's quick --
but it gives BOURNE and MARIE a two second head start.

BOURNE AND MARIE almost at the other end of the platform --
gunfire ripping up the windows behind them.  Gonna go for
the steps -- but here come --

THE ANGRY COPS -- remember them? -- the ones who took the
ride down the steps -- they're firing now and --

BOURNE AND MARIE turn back -- the PROFESSOR is firing and
there is only one option --

INT. METRO CAR -- DAY

BOURNE and MARIE into the conductor booth.  People diving
off the train as BOURNE hits the YELLOW BUTTON and -- the
TRAIN STARTS ROLLING -- doors still open -- they disappear
into the protection of the tunnel walls -- then BOURNE hits
the button to close the doors and -- THE PROFESSOR --
watching the trains accelerate out of the station -- and now
he's racing his bike down the platform -- opposite the
motion of the train and -- here comes the end of the train
and --

THE PROFESSOR throws his bike into a skidding 180 and skids
off the platform all in one move -- landing hard on the
tracks but facing the right direction and now he's 
accelerating towards the train -- just as an oncoming train
is racing into the station and --

HE LEAPS onto the back of the train in the nick of time.
His GUN CLATTERS to the tracks.

IN THE LAST METRO CAR

The window is shattered and the PROFESSOR lets himself in --
wind whipping through his hair from the shattered windows.
And --

IN THE FIRST METRO CAR

BOURNE and MARIE finally getting a breather.  BOURNE keeps
looking back -- nothing -- the train is deserted.  Finally --

			MARIE
	xxxxxx

			BOURNE
	xxxxxx

			MARIE
	xxxxxx

			BOURNE
	xxxxxx

And ahead -- daylight -- the train tracks go above ground
and as the train hits daylight -- we see the PROFESSOR
directly behind BOURNE on the other side of the glass and --

CRASH!  The PROFESSOR grabs BOURNE through the glass,
ramming his head into the metal as --

BOURNE grabs the knob, swings the door open and CRUSHES the
PROFESSOR -- CRUSHES him again and now he is free and --

BOURNE turns, pulls up the shotgun and -- the PROFESSOR
kicks it out of his hands -- it clatters to the ground and
now we have a beat -- THE TRAIN CAR races across the Bir
Hakeim bridge -- all of Paris laid out behind them.  BOURNE
and the PROFESSOR squaring off -- both looking at the gun --
realizing there's no chance for either one of them to get it
and --

A BRUTAL RUTHLESS FIGHT breaks out.  BOURNE's motivated --
the PROFESSOR's crazy -- makes it a pretty even match.
Looks like it could go on for a little while when suddenly --

BAM!!!  The PROFESSOR drops to the ground -- behind him --
MARIE wields the shot gun.

			MARIE
	xxxxxx

			BOURNE
	xxxxxx

And BOURNE takes the gun from her -- standing there --
reloading -- both barrels -- raising the gun -- aiming it --

		...................................................

INT. MOVING METRO CAR -- DAY

THE PROFESSOR sitting there.  Like a dummy.  Like a puppet
that's been propped up.  He's fucked -- his whole side
ravaged with shot -- his arm shredded -- hand barely 
there -- blood flowing fast --

			BOURNE
	Who else is coming?

THE PROFESSOR staring up at the gun.  Stunned.  Doomed.
Mouth dry.  Eyes struggling to make sense of the chaos.

			BOURNE
	I won't ask again.

			PROFESSOR
	I work alone.  Like you...
		(confused beat)
	...we always work alone.

			BOURNE
	What do you mean?

			PROFESSOR
	Who are you?  Rome?  Paris?
		(Bourne is just
				staring--)
	Treadstone...both of us...I was
	warned but...

			BOURNE
	Treadstone?

			PROFESSOR
	...which one are you?...

BOURNE lowering the weapon -- head swimming --

			BOURNE
	Paris.  I live in Paris...

			PROFESSOR
	...headaches...you have that...I
	get such bad headaches...

			BOURNE
	Yes.

			PROFESSOR
	...it's a problem...

He's losing blood fast -- things inside him seizing up --

			BOURNE
	Treadstone.

			PROFESSOR
	...or in a car...when it's
	dark...something with the
	headlights...
		(circuits exploding)
	...pills, right?  Treadstone had
	those pills...

			BOURNE
	What is Treadstone?

			PROFESSOR
	...what did you do?...you must've
	really fucked up...

			BOURNE
	I think so.

			PROFESSOR
	...someone said caffeine -- for a
	headache...doesn't seem...

			BOURNE
	What do they want me to do?

			PROFESSOR
	...they won't let you go...

			BOURNE
	Why?

THE PROFESSOR -- coughing -- a spasm -- helpless --

			PROFESSOR
	Look at this...
		(all the blood--)
	...least you have a woman....

And he's gone.  Like that.  Sitting there.  And BOURNE looks
paralyzed too.  Kneeling there.  Stalled out.

			MARIE
	Jason...

BOURNE doesn't answer -- can't, because there's this
sound -- this pulsing hum -- BOURNE reaching into THE
PROFESSOR'S POCKET and --

INSERT -- THE E-PHONE PAGER -- covered in blood -- hum --
hum -- hum -- BOURNE'S HAND wiping at the blood that covers
the display --

BOURNE staring at it.  Very familiar to him.

			MARIE
	We've got to go.

INT. METRO CAR -- DAY

BOURNE and MARIE racing back through the cars -- away from
the scene of the crime and --

EXT. ABOVE-GROUND METRO PLATFORM -- DAY

THE SHATTERED TRAIN pulling into the station -- doors
opening -- SCREAMS ECHOING through the station from up the
platform and --

BOURNE and MARIE getting off the last car and --

EXT. STREET/ALLEY NEAR THE PLATFORM -- DAY

Two minutes later.  BOURNE and MARIE -- exhausted -- beat --
Everything all at once --

			BOURNE
	Take this.

She turns.  He's holding the locker key.

			BOURNE
	Take it.

But she doesn't move.

			MARIE
	And that's it?

			BOURNE
	If you're lucky.
		(it's hanging there)
	Take it.
		(beat)
	There's enough in there to make a
	life.  Any life.  Just get out now.
	Get low.  Stay low.
		(beat)
	Take it.

She takes it.  Staring at him.  Simply refusing to cry.

			MARIE
	What was I thinking, right?

			BOURNE
	I can't protect you anymore.

			MARIE
	What about you?

			BOURNE
	I'm gonna find the end of this.
		(beat)
	I can't protect you.

MARIE takes one last look.  And she's running --

BOURNE hangs there a moment -- listening to her go -- and
then he pulls out THE E-PHONE PAGER.  And it's pulsing like
crazy.

BOURNE flips open the shell.  There's a keypad in there.

Holding it.  Like a missing organ.

INT. THE ZURICH AIRPORT MOTEL ROOM -- DAY

Remember MANHEIM?  He's still there waiting.  And his pager
goes off, and --

INT. TREADSTONE PARIS -- NIGHT

A safehouse -- CONKLIN filling a burn bag -- racing --
everything's going --

EXT. TREADSTONE PARIS -- NIGHT

CONKLIN done with the dirty work -- out into the street --

As he's about to leave -- he hears a sound -- a familiar 
sound -- hum -- hum -- hum --

He cross the street -- looks down to the Quai below --

Holy shit -- there's one of his E-PHONE PAGERS --

He goes down -- picks it up --

And now --

			BOURNE
	What did you do to me?

CONKLIN wheels around.  There he is.  Right behind him.

			CONKLIN
	What did I do?  What've you done?
	Do you have any idea?  Any
	conception?  What you've destroyed?
	Do you have any idea how much time
	and work -- how many people have
	their lives wrapped up in this?

So now you know.

			BOURNE
	Are you Treadstone?

			CONKLIN
	Am I Treadstone?  Me?
		(peering at him
				closely now--)
	What the hell're you talking about?

BOURNE showing nothing -- or is he trying too hard not to?

			BOURNE
	What did you do to me?

			CONKLIN
	What did I do?  I spent thirty
	million dollars on you.  I spent
	three years finding you -- four
	years training you --
		(incredulous)
	What did I do?
		(staring now)
	What in the name of God have you 
	been doing, Jason?

			BOURNE
	I don't know.

			CONKLIN
	They're right about you, aren't
	they?  You're fried.
		(on it now)
	You really don't know what's going
	on, do you?

			BOURNE
	I know you've been trying to kill me.

			CONKLIN
	Of course.  We had to try.  We
	didn't know what was wrong.
		(warming to this--)
	We didn't know you were in trouble.

			BOURNE
	So now you know.

			CONKLIN
	So it's time to go home.
			
			BOURNE
	That's all I get?

			CONKLIN
	We'll make you better.  We can put
	the pieces back.  We can do that.

			BOURNE
	I don't think so.

			CONKLIN
	We have to go home, Jason.

			BOURNE
	Jason Bourne is dead.

			CONKLIN
	There never was a Jason Bourne.
		(that gets him)
	You have to come with me.  It's the
	only way.  We can give it back to
	you...

			BOURNE
	Keep it.
		(and he's walking--)

			CONKLIN
	Jason...
		(trying to follow--)
	They can't let you go...

			BOURNE
	That'll be their second worst mistake.

And with that, BOURNE scrambles up a wall -- like it's
nothing -- CONKLIN just left there -- on the Quai -- in the
dark --

EXT. BANKS OF THE SEINE -- NIGHT

BOURNE walking away -- faster and faster --

EXT. BANKS OF THE SEINE NEARBY -- NIGHT

MANHEIM -- A CAR PARKED IN THE DARKNESS -- sitting alone
with his briefcase.  Opening it.  There's his gun.

BOURNE -- walking -- deeper into the darkness and --

MANHEIM -- in the dark car -- loading the weapon -- calm --
steady -- methodical and --

BOURNE -- walking and --

MANHEIM -- stepping out of the car -- closing the door
quietly -- deep in the shadows and --

BOURNE -- still coming -- the darkest part of the path just
ahead and --

MANHEIM -- raising the gun and --

THE CAMERA SPINS TO HIS TARGET AND --

IT'S CONKLIN! -- just climbing back up from the Quai --

MANHEIM -- the gun -- phftt -- phftt -- phftt --

CONKLIN -- three holes -- head -- heart -- gut -- his body 
dropping like a stone beside his car.

MANHEIM walks over.  Looks down.  Point blank -- phftt --
that makes it four and --

INT. TREADSTONE COMMUNICATIONS DESK -- NIGHT

ABBOTT and ZORN alone in the dark.  As a red light begins
pulsing on the console.

That red light means Conklin's dead.

After a moment, ZORN moves to the console and shuts the
light off.

EXT. BANKS OF THE SEINE -- NIGHT

BOURNE still walking.  And he's just gonna keep on going, as
we --

DISSOLVE TO

INT. CIA OPERATIONS CONFERENCE ROOM -- DAY

MARSHALL at the head of the table.  A cadre of INTEL HONCHOS.

			ABBOTT (O.S.)
	The Treadstone project has actually
	already been terminated.  It was
	designed primarily as a sort of
	advanced game program...

ABBOTT in the hot seat.  ZORN right there beside him.

			ABBOTT
	...We'd hoped it might build into a
	good training platform, but quite
	honestly, for a strictly theoretical
	exercise, we thought it was far too
	expensive.  The cost-benefit ratio
	was just too high.  It's been all
	but decommissioned at this point.

			MARSHALL
	All right, what's next?

ZORN handing ABBOTT the next hundred pages.

			ABBOTT
	Okay, this is Blackbriar.
	Blackbriar is a joint, DOD,
	communications program that we
	really feel has good traction to it.

ABBOTT is just gonna go on and on and on.

EXT. MARTHA'S VINEYARD -- DAY

Gorgeous Summer day.  A SCOOTER RENTAL SHACK near the beach.

								SIX MONTHS LATER

MARIE coming out of the shack with two helmets.  Handing
them to A HAPPY COUPLE waiting there on their scooters.

THE HAPPY COUPLE rides off.

MARIE turns back and --

There's BOURNE.  A new look.  A smile.

			MARIE
	Can I help you?

			BOURNE
	This your store?

			MARIE
	Yes.

			BOURNE
	Think I could rent a scooter?

			MARIE
	You have ID?

			BOURNE
	Not really.

Beat.  He smiles.

			MARIE
	It's not a problem.

Her turn to smile.  And we...

FADE OUT
