In the story · The 'Zurich' bank
In 'Zurich' Bourne opens a bank safe-deposit box he did not know he had and finds passports in several names, piles of cash and a gun. The Swiss bank was filmed in Prague at the Petschek Palace, the building used as Gestapo headquarters during World War II, which now houses the Czech Ministry of Industry and Trade.
