The Bourne Identity Page #2

Synopsis: An unconscious man is washed ashore on the beach of a small French village during a heavy storm. A retired doctor takes care of the unconscious stranger. When the mysterious man recovers, he can't remember a thing...he does not know his name, he does not know where his flashback memories come from, and he does not know why the access code for an anonymous Swiss bank account is implanted in his thigh. As he seeks his own identity, things quickly become dangerous. There are attempts to kill him, he is well known in first class hotels across Europe, and worst of all, there are strange similarities between his memories and reported actions of the notorious terrorist, Carlos the Jackal.

Whoever phones for you is to be told

you're out, and you're informed of it.

The one exception is your employer,

Treadstone 71 . Correct?

l won't forget your efficiency.

You've always been more than generous.

l'm sick of all this, Peter.

l want to get married, have a baby. . .

. . .learn to play the saxophone.

You always say that before you give

a paper. You'll be a star.

-And you won't be here.

-Marie.

-Thank you.

-l don't want to leave. l have to.

France expelled three Cuban

diplomats in connection...

... with the search for a man

called Carlos...

...believed to have assassinated

U.S. Ambassador Howard Leland.

Ambassador Leland was shot through the

throat by a gunman with a rifle.

lf there's nothing for Treadstone 71 ,

try Treadstone without the number.

--irrespective of political ideology.

Did you try ''company''

or ''corp. '' or ''inc. ''?

What about two words, separated?

''Tread Stone. ''

--and John Phillips,

British member of Parliament.

There must be a listing, operator.

How about the boroughs outside

Manhattan? Queens? Brooklyn?

l don't know what sort of

business they're in. Sorry.

lnvestment banking? Securities?

Look, could l persuade you to

check the unlisted book?

ls the number there?

You don't have to say the actual--

Don't tell me you don't have access.

l know you do.

l understand.

Thank you very much for your trouble.

l have no new evidence.

Wait. . . .

l know you.

We've increased security

at our foreign embassies...

... we're cooperating with lnterpol

and the French authorities...

...in a worldwide search for Carlos.

You were responsible for

the ambassador.

How do you feel about

his assassination?

Who are you? Why do l know you?

l feel a sense of outrage and

deep personal loss.

He was a close friend.

When we find Carlos, and we will...

...l intend to question him myself.

That's all l can say. Thank you.

This is Nigel Colman,

reporting from Nice.

Carlos.

May l help you, sir?

l have an account here.

lf you'll tell me the number of

zeros in your account. . .

. . .l can direct you

to the correct office.

Three zeros.

Take the elevator, sir. Fifth floor.

Thank you.

Three-zero account on the way

to the fifth floor.

My name is Fritz Koenig, sir.

Three-zero accounts rarely come in

without an appointment.

l'm afraid you startled

our man in the lobby.

l'm in a hurry.

Of course. lf you'll sign in.

Your signature.

Of course.

Would you wait in here, please?

Where are you taking that?

-To Signature Verifications.

-l'm in a great hurry.

l'm following procedures

you yourself requested, sir.

l've got his fingerprints.

We're ready down here.
