THE BOURNE SUPREMACY    

Jason Bourne and Marie are living in Goa, while he tries to remember his past. In Berlin, Pamela Landy, a CIA Deputy Director has arranged to pay $3 million to a Russian who says he has flies that will reveal who stole $20 million from the CIA seven years ago. However, the Russian and the CIA agent who was delivering the cash are killed and the money stolen. A fingerprint left behind indicates the killer was Jason Bourne. A hitman finds Jason in Goa, but ends up killing Marie. On February 27, 2004 [23:03 to 34:16] Jason arrives in Naples. He escapes custody and goes to Berlin. There he tracks Pam Landy and kidnaps Nicky Parsons. He recalls that he killed Russian politician Vladimir Neski, but this job is not in his file.  Bourne exposes the fact that CIA agent Ward Abbott was involved in the theft of the $20 million and tried to frame Bourne for the two recent murders in Berlin. When confronted, Abbott kills himself. Bourne goes to Moscow and in spite of being chased by Abbott’s Russian partners, finds and apologizes to the Neski’s daughter for killing her parents. 

Great action. I was upset that they killed off Marie. I liked her a lot.
