The Bourne Identity Page #4

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.

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.
