How It All Goes Down
- Villiers explains he really tried not to kill his wife, but he just couldn't stand it.
- Villiers accused his wife. She tried to shoot him, and he strangled her to death.
- Now Villiers is going to turn himself in to the police.
- Instead, Bourne tries to convince Villiers to say that Bourne killed the woman…which will really make Carlos angry.
- Bourne goes out to Villiers's house and spots the inevitable watching goons.
- Bourne starts a fire in a random house (which seems like kind of a jerky thing to do, but oh well) in order to distract the goons.
- Goons decide that with the fire and the police coming, most of them will have to leave. One guy stays, and Bourne ambushes him.
- Then Bourne goes to Villiers, who's sitting by his wife's dead body.
- Villiers wants to turn himself in and then kill himself, but Bourne convinces him that that would be just what Carlos wants.
- Instead, Bourne gets him to arrange for Bourne to leave the country for the U.S.
- Bourne also wants Villiers to protect Marie while he's gone: he's going to sneak out without her knowing.
- Bourne tells Villiers to pretend that he (Bourne) broke into Villiers's house and killed his wife.
- Villiers is to say that Bourne left a note telling him that his wife had betrayed him. Bourne will of course write out the pretend note for real.
- Villiers is then to pretend that Bourne left instructions for him to call Carlos and relay the note.
- The note, which will indeed be relayed to Carlos, includes the information that Bourne is going to New York, so that Carlos will follow him.
- Bourne hopes to meet Carlos at the Treadstone building and kill him, which he hopes will also solve his problems with U.S. intelligence.
