Bourne Ultimatum

Introduction:

The movie begins immediately after Bourne apologizes to Neski’s daughter. Wounded from the Bourne Supremacy car chase, Jason Bourne is still evading the Moscow police. Bourne and Marie, his girlfriend from first movie of the Bourne Trilogy, are living in Goa, India. Cornered by two officers while breaking into a medical clinic to treat his wounds, Bourne overpowers the officers and leaves them alive as he escapes, saying to one that his argument is not with them.

The story continues six weeks later as Simon Ross, a security reporter for The Guardian, meets with Neal Daniels, a CIA station chief stationed in Madrid, to discuss Treadstone and looking for information on Jason Bourne. Bourne goes to Paris to tell Marie’s brother, Martin, of her death, then heads to London by train and reads an article in The Guardian where Ross describes Jason Bourne as a CIA officer. Bourne arranges to meet Ross in London at the south entrance of Waterloo Station. Ross, however, is under surveillance because his use of the word “Operation Blackbriar” in a phone call to his editor was tracked by ECHELON, alerting the CIA. CIA section chief Noah Vosen alerts his staff to find out any information on Ross, believing that Operation Blackbriar (a renamed Treadstone proposed by Ward Abbott at the end of The Bourne Identity) has been compromised.
