1 question since 20 Mar '25, 19:52
Directed by: Doug Liman
Starring: Matt Damon, Brian Cox, Julia Stiles, Chris Cooper, Clive Owen, Franka Potente
Continuity mistake: After the car chase in Paris, Bourne parks Marie's car in a garage but when the cops find it later it's not the same garage. The wall in front of the car is different and the concrete column with the extinguisher is gone. (00:56:20 - 01:07:50)
Nicolette: He killed our man.
Conklin: What, in the apartment?
Nicolette: Yeah.
Conklin: Well, you got to clean that up.
Nicolette: No, I can't clean it up; there's a body in the streets.
Conklin: So?
Nicolette: There's police, this is Paris.
Trivia: In the final scene at the scooter shop, look at the hanging plant behind Marie. The red bank bag used throughout the movie is the pot. (01:50:23)
Answer: He didn't want to implicate her in his crimes as an accessory. It is unknown at this time if Marie was already known to be involved, either willingly or unwillingly, with Jason. Marie is an innocent bystander whom Jason got involved in his actions. He told her to turn her head away so she was less likely to be identified. IMHO.
