The Bourne Identity Chapter 27 Summary

How It All Goes Down

  • Marie calls Les Classiques and tricks them into giving her the names of two employees, Janine Dolbert and Claude Oreale.
  • Bourne gets Dolbert to leave the shop and come home. He accosts her and tricks her into revealing she's selling Bergeron's designs to the House of Azur.
  • Bourne tells Marie he's tracking Carlos, who is a customer at Les Classiques, and that many of the other employees are helping with the trap.
  • Dolbert tells him other names at the shop, including Philippe d'Anjou, who was the switchboard operator Bourne recognized from his former life (this is also the guy Bourne saw talking to Villiers's wife).
  • Bourne gets Les Classiques employee Claude Oreale to come home by calling and telling him there's a disruption in his house.
  • More trickery: Bourne pretends that he's a representative of Carlos, trying to protect him from Interpol, and that others in the shop are working with him.
  • As you'd imagine, Claude is seriously freaked out. Bourne is doing a good job terrorizing innocent civilians. Way to go, Bourne.
  • Then we're back toMarie, who takes a call from Villiers.
  • Bourne's plan is working; everyone is calling Madame Villiers.
  • Villiers thinks he heard Carlos giving his wife orders when he picked up the extension.
  • Villiers isn't sure he can take it, but Marie reminds him he is a soldier, and he says he'll keep it together.
