Plot: The events in this movie take place around the same time as the events in _The Bourne Ultimatum (2007)_ (qv). When a British reporter was writing an expose about Black Ops operations Treadstone and Black Briar, and the ones responsible for them are concerned. And when Jason Bourne, former Treadstone operative got the file on Treadstone and Black Briar and gave it to Pamela Landy who then passed it to the media. When the men behind Treadstone and Black Briar learn of this, they're concerned how this will affect other ops they have. They decide it's best to shut down all ops and make sure make everyone involved disappears. They try to take out Aaron Cross who is part of another op called Outcome, but he manages to survive. He then seeks out Dr. Marta Shearing who worked on him when he began. It seems part of the program is for all subjects to take medications but he has run out, which is why he seeks her. But someone tries to kill her. He saves her and she tells him, he should have stopped taking the medications long ago. They go to Manila so that she can help him. Later the men behind Outcome learn that Cross and Shearing are still alive. They try to get them.

Quotes:
Dr. Marta Shearing: Well, if you're going to reprogram human genetic material, you need a delivery system, and nothing works better than virus. It's like a suitcase.
Aaron Cross: [to Dr. Shearing] Now, I've got a plan, and it's just not that complicated. What I'm going to do is wait for the next person to show up to kill you. Maybe they can help me.
Byer: Jason Bourne was just the tip of the iceberg.
Retired Adm. Mark Turso, USN: You were given a Ferrari and your people treated it like a lawnmower.
[last lines]::Dr. Marta Shearing: Are we lost?::Aaron Cross: No, I was just looking at our options.::Dr. Marta Shearing: Oh, I was kinda hoping we were lost.
Drone Spec: What kind of weapon system is this guy operating?::Dita Mandy: He's probably got a rifle.::[Drone operators exchange incredulous glances]::Byer: It's a high-powered rifle.
Byer: We are the sin eaters. It means that we take the moral excrement we find in this equation and we bury it down deep inside of us, so that the rest of our case can stay pure. That is the job. We are morally indefensible, and absolutely necessary.
Retired Adm. Mark Turso, USN: Is it possible?::Ezra Kramer: Possible? We had Bourne six weeks ago in Moscow. He was on foot, wounded, with a full Cossack posse up his ass. Somehow, he walked out of there. I've kind of lost my perspective on what's possible.
Aaron Cross: We have less than eight minutes to clear out of here, okay?::Dr. Marta Shearing: Yes.::Aaron Cross: Good. Beacause the next thing coming though that door is going to wipe us out.
Dita Mandy: LARX is a beta-2 stem program. Amped mission fidelity, minimized empathy.::Terrence Ward: It's Treadstone without the inconsistency, Outcome without the emotional noise.::Zev Vendel: It's looking very strong for us.::Dita Mandy: We have never seen evaluations like this.::Retired Adm. Mark Turso, USN: This went from something I don't know about to something on the drawing board, and now you're telling me it's up and running?::Byer: It's up and running. Consider yourself informed.

Ryder demands $10 million within an hour, or he'll start shooting hostages. He'll deal only with Garber.
