the bourne ultimatum

[crankylex]

Am I dumb?  Or did I miss something?

1.  What was the purpose of the leak to the reporter in the first place?  Was it the guy that was blown up in Tangier who did the leaking?

2.  Did they explain what the connection between Nicki and Bourne was?

Dude, I'm so confused.

1. Yes, the guy that got blown up was the one that leaked the story to the reporter. As to the reason why ... plot device.

2. Nope. They didn't explain. But it's supposed to be implied that they were involved romantically.

I think there are only 3 movies planned in the Bourne trilogy, but I think Ludlum actually wrote 5 books. I don't know if the Bourne/Nicky stuff is in the books or just implied in the movies.

Actually, I think they did explain Nicki and Bourne. She used to be his handler, didn't she? She was his contact point while he was on assignment, I believe. And yes, we were also supposed to think they were involved, but I think it started out professionally.

I netflixed it last week and had the same wuh? that Lex did about the exact nature of Nicki and Bourne so I was digging around teh intarwebz about it. I can't remember if it was IMDB or wikipedia, but there was something about how there was supposed to be this former Nicki/Bourne romance, but they never wanted to specifically address it. But who knows. I never read the books.
