The Bourne Identity Page #5

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.

lt arrived in a box, as usual.

You were the one who set up the system.

You said it was too dangerous

to come here.

-Money was missing.

-Then it wasn't paid!

l never open the envelopes!

You know that!

Missing?

l don't believe you.

You wouldn't have taken

Don't try. Don't try.

Help me! Somebody!

Please!

That's the woman.

Help. Help me. A man's been shot.

He kept hitting me. And he killed

that poor man in the wheelchair.

She was with him.

He killed Chernak.

Yes! He killed that man!

He's wounded.

-How badly?

-l don't know. He fainted.

His head was bleeding.

Who is he?

He goes by many names.

Many disguises.

He is a chameleon.

But as you have seen, he's a killer.

A brutal killer.

Then he is an assassin?

Yes.

Did he say how he planned to

leave or where he planned to go?

No. No. He was

almost incoherent. He--

Think, now. He said nothing?

Wait. He was mumbling something.

A street name.

-lt was. . . . Step--

-Stepdeckstrasse?

That's it. A boarding house

with a red door.

l'm all right.

You again. You're nothing

but trouble. Go away!

You said you wouldn't be back.

Do you want a doctor?

Any instructions?

The assassination of

Ambassador Leland!

And you took the assignment.

You killed that poor helpless man!

He was trying to kill me!

Does the name Carlos

mean anything to you?

l intend to question Carlos myself.
