Synopsis
Jason Bourne, along with his girlfriend, Marie Kreutz, is living in India to hide. During his hideout, Bourne keeps studying his old notebook, trying to remember his past as a CIA assassin. In Berlin, Germany, a CIA agent meets with a Russian informant to execute a transaction for Neski’s file, a document containing Treadstone’s data, and theft of $20 million.
Their meeting ends tragically as a Russian hitman, Kirill, manages to kill them both and steal the document.
