　〃How　long；　Kruppie？〃
　〃For　heaven's　sake；　man；　you　were　training　a　recruit　for　an　assignment；　a　single　mission。　I'm　altering　a　life！〃
　〃How　long？〃
　〃You　tell　me；　Alex。　It's　my　life　we're　talking　about　now…as　worthless　as　that　life　may　be　in　the　geopolitical　scheme　of　things…it's　still　my　life。〃
　〃Whatever　he　needs；〃　interrupted　David　Webb；　the　unseen　image　of　Jason　Bourne　looking　over　his　wounded　shoulder。
　〃Two　years　to　do　it　well；　three　years　to　do　it　better；〃　said　Dimitri　Krupkin。
　〃They're　yours；〃　said　Marie。
　〃Pritchard；〃　said　St。　Jacques；　angling　his　head。　〃Fix　my　drink；　if　you　please。〃
　
　Epilogue
　
　They　walked　along　the　moonlit　beach；　alternately　touching　and　not　touching；　the　embarrassment　of　intimacy　intermittently　intruding　as　if　a　world　that　had　separated　them　had　not　let　them　escape　its　terrible　orbit；　constantly　pulling　them　into　its　fiery　nucleus。
　〃You　carried　a　gun；〃　said　Marie　softly。　〃I　had　no　idea　you　had　one。　I　hate　guns。〃
　〃So　do　I。　I'm　not　sure　I　knew　I　had　one；　either。　It　was　just　there。〃
　〃Reflex？　pulsion？〃
　〃Both；　I　guess。　It　didn't　matter；　I　didn't　use　it。〃
　〃But　you　wanted　to；　didn't　you？〃
　〃Again；　I'm　not　sure。　If　you　and　the　children　were　threatened；　of　course　I　would；　but　I　don't　think　I'd　fire　indiscriminately。〃
　〃Are　you　sure；　David？　Would　the　appearance　of　danger　to　us　make　you　pick　up　a　gun　and　shoot　at　shadows？〃
　〃No；　I　don't　shoot　at　shadows。〃
　Footsteps。　In　the　sand！　Waves　lapping　over　the　unmistakable　intrusion　of　a　human　being；　breaks　in　the　flow　of　the　natural　rhythm…sounds　Jason　Bourne　knew　from　a　hundred　beaches！　He　spun　around；　violently　propelling　Marie　off　her　feet；　sending　her　out　of　the　line　of　fire　as　he　crouched；　his　weapon　in　his　hand。
　〃Please　don't　kill　me；　David；〃　said　Morris　Panov；　the　beam　of　his　flashlight　illuminating　the　area。　〃It　simply　wouldn't　make　sense。〃
　〃Jesus；　Mo！〃　cried　Webb。　〃What　were　you　doing。〃
　〃Trying　to　find　you；　that's　all。　。。。　Would　you　please　help　Marie？〃
　Webb　did　so；　pulling　his　wife　to　her　feet；　both　half　blinded　by　the　flashlight。　〃My　God；　you're　the　mole！〃　cried　Jason　Bourne；　raising　his　weapon。　〃You　knew　every　move　I　was　making！〃
　〃I'm　what？〃　roared　the　psychiatrist；　throwing　down　his　flashlight。　〃If　you　believe　that；　gun　me　down；　you　son　of　a　bitch！〃
　〃I　don't　know；　Mo。　I　don't　know　anything　anymore　。。。　！〃　David's　head　arched　back　in　pain。
　〃Then　cry　your　heart　out；　you　bastard！　Cry　like　you've　never　cried　before！　Jason　Bourne　is　dead；　cremated　in　Moscow；　and　that's　the　way　it　is！　You　either　accept　that　or　I　don't　want　a　goddamned　thing　to　do　with　you　anymore！　Have　you　got　that；　you　arrogant；　brilliant　creation！　You　did　it；　and　it's　over！〃
　Webb　fell　to　his　knees；　the　tears　welling　in　his　eyes；　trembling　and　trying　not　to　make　a　sound。
　〃We're　going　to　be　okay；　Mo；〃　said　Marie；　kneeling　beside　her　husband；　holding　him。
　〃I　know　that；〃　acknowledged　Panov；　nodding　in　the　glow　of　the　grounded　flashlight。　〃Two　lives　in　one　mind；　none　of　us　can　know　what　it's　like。　But　it's　over　now。　It's　really　over。〃
