Plot

Two years after the events in The Bourne Identity, Bourne and his girlfriend, Marie Kreutz, are living in Goa, India. Bourne is having flashbacks of an assassination in a Berlin hotel. Meanwhile, in Berlin, a CIA officer under Deputy Director Pamela Landy is trading $3 million for the complete "Neski Files," documents concerning the theft of $30 million from the CIA, seven years earlier. They are to complete the exchange in an office building in Berlin. During the exchange, an assassin named Kirill plants Jason Bourne's fingerprint on a bomb in the building's basement and proceeds to kill the agent and the source, stealing the files and money. He sells them to Russian oil magnate Yuri Gretkov.

Kirill travels Goa to kill Bourne, but Bourne spots him and flees with Marie. As he and Marie drive away, Kirill sees Bourne in the driver's seat. As Bourne and Marie near a bridge, the two switch seats, with Bourne preparing to leap from the car to confront Kirill, but Marie tries to talk him out of it, believing violence does not solve everything. Armed with a sniper rifle, Kirill fires into the driver's seat, killing Marie and causing the car to veer off the bridge into a river. Kirill believes that Bourne is dead, but he manages to swim away undetected. Bourne leaves for Naples, Italy, with money and passports in an attempt to learn why he is again being targeted, believing that Treadstone is pursuing him.

In Berlin, Landy finds the planted fingerprint and goes to CIA headquarters in Langley, Virginia to find out whose they are. She discovers that they belong to Bourne and questions Abbott about Treadstone. He admits that he had Conklin killed after a failed mission, but has no idea where Bourne is. Landy tells Abbott that the CIA agent who stole the $30 million was named in the stolen files. A Russian politician, Vladimir Neski, was due to identify the thief. Before he could do so, however, Neski was apparently murdered by his wife in a Berlin hotel, who had proceeded to commit suicide afterwards. Landy believes that Bourne and Conklin were involved in the theft, and, based on the discovered fingerprint, that Bourne was responsible for the deaths of the CIA officer and source in Berlin. Both Abbott and Landy go to Berlin, hoping to find some trace of Bourne and capture him. Langley is an unincorporated community in the census-designated place of McLean in Fairfax County, Virginia, United States. ...

Arriving in Naples, Italy, Bourne deliberately uses a known passport under his name. Agents in Langley are notified of Bourne's arrival, and he is detained. He incapacitates an Italian Carabinieri officer and his CIA interrogator, copies the agent's SIM card on his own cell phone, then escapes. While driving, Bourne listens in on a call from Landy, learning her name, phone number, and that he is suspected of the recent killings in Berlin. He steals a car and heads to Germany. In Munich, he breaks into another Treadstone agent's house. Upon arrival, the agent, Jarda, tells him Treadstone was shut down following Conklin's death; he and Bourne are the only remnants of the project. As Bourne realizes Jarda has called in backup, Jarda attacks, the two struggle, and Bourne kills Jarda. Bourne sets a trap by opening a gas line and jamming a magazine into a toaster; the home explodes when backup arrives.

In Amsterdam, Landy and Abbott intercept and debrief Nicky Parsons, Treadstone's handler in Paris. Bourne follows them from a hotel to a CIA office in Berlin. Armed with a sniper rifle from a neighboring roof, Bourne calls Landy's phone, questioning her intentions. She tells him it is because he killed two people in Berlin. Although Landy is refering to the agents, he thinks she is refering to Neski and his wife. Bourne arranges to meet Nicky at the Alexanderplatz, where he uses a crowded anti-capitalist protest to evade surveillance. He leads Nicky to the subway station and interrogates her, learning that Abbott was the head of Treadstone, not Conklin. Bourne's flashbacks of Neski's assassination at the Brecker Hotel return, but Nicky knows nothing about the Neski killing. Upon hearing their conversation over Nicky's transmitter, Landy begins to believe that Bourne is being framed. To the surprise of Landy and Abbott, Bourne lets Nicky go unharmed. Back at the office, Abbott's associate Danny Zorn becomes positive Bourne is being framed after examining the basement where the bomb with Bourne's fingerprint was found. After revealing his belief to Abbott, Abbott stabs him to death, proving his involvement in the conspiracy. Alexanderplatz from the Fernsehturm   is a large open square and public transport hub in Berlin city centre, near the river Spree and the Berliner Dom, at . Berliners often call it simply Alex. ...

Bourne revisits the Brecker Hotel in Berlin and remembers more of the Neski mission. He was sent to kill Neski on Conklin's orders; and when Neski's wife unexpectedly showed up, he shot him and then her, positioning the scene to appear a murder-suicide. The German police arrive after the hotel's lobby report Bourne as wanted, which interrupts Bourne's flashback and forces him to escape via the building's exterior. Having evaded them, Bourne breaks into Abbott's hotel room and records a conversation between him and Gretkov that incriminates Abbott and Gretkov in the theft of the money. Abbott also confesses that he ordered Bourne killed (Marie was not the intended target), Neski's murder by Bourne, the murder of the agents by Kirill, and the planted fingerprint at the scene. Out of respect for Marie's beliefs in non-violence, Bourne spares Abbott's life. Zorn's body is discovered at the office and Landy, realizing Abbott killed him, goes to confront Abbott, who commits suicide. Landy later receives the tape Bourne recorded.

Bourne travels to Moscow to find Neski's daughter, where he is shot and wounded by Kirill. After an extended high-speed chase through Moscow, Bourne forces Kirill to crash in a tunnel, killing him. Gretkov is arrested by Russian police after Landy provides them with the evidence she got from Bourne. Bourne proceeds to the apartment of Neski's daughter, where he informs her that her mother did not kill her father then commit suicide—Bourne had killed them both on a mission gone wrong, and he apologizes.

The final scene jumps to New York City. Bourne contacts Landy by cell phone, asking why the CIA is still looking for him. Landy then thanks Bourne for supplying the tape, which the CIA has used to settle matters concerning his frame-up. Before Bourne hangs up, Landy reveals to Bourne that his real name is David Webb and that he was born on "4/15/71" in Nixa, Missouri. When she suggests that Bourne come in to discuss the matter, Bourne declines by simply stating, "Get some rest, Pam; you look tired."

Differences from the novel

There are many differences between the novel The Bourne Supremacy and the movie. In the novel, David Webb (Jason Bourne's alter ego) is not on the run. He and Marie are now married and Marie does not die. Webb is a professor of Eastern studies, but is kept under the watchful eye of Alexander Conklin and Mo Panov, the psychiatrist who helped him come to terms with his past as Delta One/Cain in Medusa/Treadstone and the events described in "The Bourne Identity". The premise of the events are the same: someone is using the name "Jason Bourne" in a series of killings in Asia ultimately, it transpires, to allow a Nationalist Chinese takeover of Communist China. In an effort to flush the fake Bourne out, the CIA kidnaps Marie to force Webb back into his Jason Bourne persona. Once this happens, Bourne tracks down the fake Bourne and kills him. He then re-enters China to kill the high-ranking Chinese government official who is behind the fake Jason Bourne killings which started the whole situation. Once this is done he returns with Marie to his life of academia in Maine, USA, until "The Jackal" comes after him again in "The Bourne Ultimatum".

The majority of the events of The Bourne Supremacy take place in China, Hong Kong and Macao as opposed to the events of the movie taking place in India, Berlin, and Moscow.
