The story
A CIA operation to purchase classified Russian documents is blown by a rival agent, who then shows up in the sleepy seaside village where Bourne and Marie have been living. The pair run for their lives and Bourne, who promised retaliation should anyone from his former life attempt contact, is forced to once again take up his life as a trained assassin to survive.
The Bourne Supremacy recap
Two years later, Bourne and Marie live quietly in Goa, India. In Berlin, a CIA operation run by Pamela Landy to buy files about a theft of $20 million is ambushed by a Russian assassin, Kirill, working for oil magnate Yuri Gretkov, who plants Bourne's fingerprint to frame him. Kirill then goes to Goa to kill Bourne, but in the chase he shoots Marie, who dies. Bourne goes to Naples, then Munich and Berlin to find out why. He learns that Ward Abbott and Gretkov stole the money and that Abbott had the deal sabotaged to protect himself. Bourne kills Jarda, the last other Treadstone agent, and confronts Abbott, recording his confession. Abbott shoots himself. Bourne remembers his first Treadstone mission in Berlin: killing a Russian politician, Vladimir Neski, and his wife, staged to look like a murder suicide.
The Bourne Supremacy ending explained
Bourne goes to Moscow, where he is wounded and chased by Kirill through the city, then kills him in a car crash. He finds Neski's daughter, Irena, and tells her the truth about her parents' deaths. In New York, Landy, who has cleared Bourne, calls him and tells him his real name, David Webb, and his birthday. He tells her to get some rest, because she looks tired, and disappears.
