Wounded by a gunshot from Russian assassin Kirill (in the previous film, The Bourne Supremacy), Jason Bourne evades Moscow police, treats his wound after breaking into a hospital, and goes into hiding. Six weeks later, The Guardian correspondent Simon Ross meets with someone in Turin, Italy to discuss Bourne and Operation Treadstone. The CIA begin tracking Ross after he mentions "Operation Blackbriar" over a cell phone call. Bourne contacts Ross to meet with him after learning that Ross has been investigating Operation Treadstone, but quickly realizes that the CIA are tracking Ross. Bourne helps Ross evade CIA teams trying to capture him. As Bourne helps Ross, he is spotted by a CCTV camera commandeered by Vosen who instantly recognizes Bourne and starts to believe Bourne is Ross' source. Vosen then gives Blackbriar assassin Paz the greenlight to take out both Ross and Bourne. Bourne notices that he and Ross are being set up and orders Ross to stay in hiding and wait but Ross deviates from Bourne's instructions and is killed instantly by Paz. Paz then tries to kill Bourne as well but fails and is chased by Bourne. Paz escapes but not before Bourne gets a good look at his face. Pamela Landy, who had hunted Bourne six weeks earlier unsuccessfully, is brought in to help Vosen. After searching Ross' notes, they figure out that Ross' source was not Bourne but was instead Neal Daniels, CIA Station Chief in Madrid, who was formerly involved in Treadstone and actively involved in Blackbriar. Bourne, having taken Ross' bag shortly after he was killed, is led to Daniels' office Madrid but finds it empty. After he subdues a CIA team sent by Vosen and Landy, Nicky Parsons arrives. She decides to help Bourne, telling him that Daniels has fled to Tangier and helping him escape another incoming CIA team. Upon arriving in Tangier, Parsons tries to track Daniels' location but is unable to, finding that Blackbriar assassin Desh Bouksani has been tasked with killing Daniels. Vosen learns that Parsons logged in to access information about Daniels and sends Desh after Parsons and Bourne, a decision Landy disagrees with. Bourne manages to follow Desh to Daniels, but fails to prevent Daniels' death by a planted bomb. Bourne rushes to protect Nicky from Desh and manages to kill him in hand-to-hand combat. Parsons subsequently goes into hiding upon Bourne's suggestion as she remains a target. Bourne examines Daniels' charred briefcase contents and finds the address of the deep cover CIA bureau in New York City where Vosen directs Blackbriar. Landy receives a phone call from Bourne (in a repetition of the final scene of The Bourne Supremacy), which is revealed to be tapped by Vosen. Landy thanks Bourne for the tape he sent her which revealed the corrupt dealings of former Treadstone director Ward Abbott; she also tells him that his real name is David Webb and his birthdate is 4/15/71. Bourne tells Landy to "get some rest" because she "looks tired", which she and Vosen both understand to mean that Bourne is watching her. Vosen intercepts a text to Landy from Bourne of a location to meet and leaves his office with a team to follow Landy and capture Bourne. Bourne breaks into Vosen's office and steals classified Blackbriar documents. Vosen sends Paz after Bourne, the two finally encountering each other in a car chase which ends with Paz forcing Bourne's car to crash into a concrete divider. Bourne gets out and holds Paz at gunpoint before sparing his life and continuing on to 415 East 71st Street, memories of which were triggered by the false birthday he was given by Landy. Vosen also figures out Landy's code and warns Dr. Albert Hirsch, who ran Treadstone's behavior modification program, that Bourne is coming. Landy meets Bourne at the building, where Bourne gives her the Blackbriar files before going inside. Landy starts faxing the files to an unknown receiver, but is found by Vosen as the last page is sent. Bourne encounters Hirsch in an upper level and, with Hirsch's help, remembers that he volunteered for the program. He states that he is no longer Jason Bourne and flees to the roof from Vosen's pursuing CIA team. Bourne is confronted on the roof by Paz, who asks him why Bourne did not kill him. Bourne asks Paz if he even knows why he is supposed to kill him and repeats the dying words of a Treadstone assassin Bourne killed (in The Bourne Identity): "Look at us. Look at what they make you give." Paz lowers his gun as Bourne runs to jump off the roof, but Vosen appears and shoots at Bourne as he leaps into the East River below. Some time later, Parsons is watching a television news broadcast noting the exposure of Operation Blackbriar, the arrests of Hirsch and Vosen, a criminal investigation of CIA director Ezra Kramer, and that David Webb, a.k.a. Jason Bourne, was reportedly shot and fell into the East River. Upon hearing that his body has not been found after a three-day search, Parsons smiles and Bourne is shown swimming away after his fall.
