Jason Bourne: Why did you pick me?
Dr. Albert Hirsch: You really don't remember, do you? We didn't pick you. You picked us. You volunteered. Right here. Right here, even after you were warned.
Jason Bourne: Who's your source? What's his name? What's your source's name?
Simon Ross: Look, what's going on? Why are these people after me?
Jason Bourne: Because you found something. You talked to someone, inside Treadstone, someone who was there at the beginning. Who is it?
Simon Ross: You know I can't
tell you that.
Jason Bourne: You have no idea what you're into here. These people will kill you if they have to.
Simon Ross: Was it Blackbriar? Is that what this is?
Jason Bourne: Blackbriar? What's Blackbriar?
Simon Ross: Treadstone upgrade. My source told me it all started with you. He said that you
were square one, the dirty little secret. He says that he knows who you are.
Jason Bourne: Alright, we have to move. Answer your phone.
Pamela Landy: What is Operation Blackbriar? You want to tell me or should I call Kramer and ask him?
Noah Vosen: For Christ's sake Pam, we're in the middle of an operation.
Pamela Landy: Bullshit. You want Jason Bourne? Level with me.
Noah Vosen: Operation Blackbriar started as an NEAT surveillance program.
Pamela Landy: What is it now?
Noah Vosen: It is now the umbrella program for all our black-ops. Full envelope intrusion, rendition, experimental interrogation - it is all run out of this office. We are the sharp end of the stick now, Pam.
Pamela Landy: Lethal action?
Noah Vosen: If we have to, sure.
That's what makes us special. No more red tape. No more getting the bad guys caught on our sights, then watching them escape while we wait for somebody in Washington to issue the order.
[Vosen sees Landy's disapproval]
Noah Vosen: Oh come on. You've seen the raw intel, Pam. You know how real the danger is. We need these programs now.
Pamela Landy: Listen, people - do you have any idea who you're dealing with? This is Jason Bourne. You are nine hours behind the toughest target you have ever tracked. Now I want everyone to sit down, strap in, and turn on all you've got. That would mean now.
Airport announcer: [via airport loudspeaker message] Gilberto do Piento, Gilberto do Piento, your party is waiting for you.
Noah Vosen: Our target is a British national - Simon Ross, a reporter. I want all his phones, his BlackBerry, his apartment, his car, bank accounts, credit cards, travel patterns - I want to know what he's going to think before he does. Every dirty little secret he has, and most of all we want the name and real-time location of his source. This is NSA priority level 4. Any
questions?
Noah Vosen: Issue a standing kill order on Jason Bourne, effective immediately.
Noah Vosen: All agents have shoot-on-sight authorization.
[after listening to a recording of Simon Ross' phone call]
Noah Vosen: Is that it?
Wills: Yeah.
Noah Vosen: I want rendition protocols, and put the asset on stand-by just in case.
