Now with the third film, Bourne is still hellbent on both revenge and finding out exactly who he is. Still on his case is Pam Landy (Joan Allen), a tough but honest agent who wants to bring Bourne in alive, and new on his case is Noah Vosen (David Strathairn), a CIA chief with little regard for human life or regulations. Bourne gets a break in his quest when a London journalist (Paddy Considine) writes a story about a CIA program called Blackbriar, and appears to have talked to a well-informed CIA source that may know something about Bourne's identity. As Bourne tries to track down the source, Vosen tries to track down and eliminate Bourne. The cat and mouse game takes Bourne all around the globe and finally back home to New York for a showdown.
