Wounded in Moscow, Bourne keeps running and suffers flashbacks of Treadstone. The Guardian journalist Simon Ross writes about a new operation, Blackbriar. Bourne arranges to meet him at London's Waterloo station, but the CIA kills Ross. Bourne finds Nicky Parsons again and follows the trail through Madrid, Tangier and New York. Deputy Director Pamela Landy begins helping him in secret. Bourne learns he volunteered for Treadstone and confronts the doctor who trained him. On the roof, the Blackbriar boss shoots, Bourne falls into the East River and vanishes, alive.
