Jason Bourne recap
Nine years after exposing Blackbriar, Bourne survives by fighting in bare-knuckle bouts on the Greek border. Nicky Parsons hacks into the CIA and steals files on the black ops programs, including Iron Hand, and on Bourne's recruitment. CIA director Robert Dewey and cyber operations head Heather Lee track her, and Dewey sends the Asset, an assassin with a personal grudge against Bourne, to Athens. Nicky finds Bourne during a riot and tells him his father, Richard Webb, helped create Treadstone. The Asset shoots Nicky dead. Bourne learns his father was killed in Beirut by the Asset, who was blamed on terrorists. Dewey is also secretly trying to make Aaron Kalloor, a social media founder, give the CIA access to his platform for surveillance. Lee, seeing a chance, helps Bourne, hoping to bring him back into the agency.
