Pamela Landy

Lore & Background

Landy is introduced as a Deputy Director of the CIA, investigating a failed operation in Berlin where a CIA agent was killed while paying $3 million for the Neski files. She finds Bourne's fingerprint at the scene and believes he is responsible. She questions Ward Abbott about Operation Treadstone and learns that the Neski files name the CIA agent who stole $20 million seven years prior. Landy believes Bourne and Treadstone supervisor Alexander Conklin were involved in the murder of Vladimir Neski and his wife. She meets with Abbott and former Treadstone technician Nicky Parsons in Berlin to question them about Bourne. Bourne kidnaps Nicky and later breaks into Abbott's hotel room, recording a conversation between Abbott and Russian oligarch Yuri Gretkov that incriminates them in the theft. Landy confronts Abbott about her suspicions, and he commits suicide. She then finds an envelope containing the tape of Abbott's conversations with Gretkov and Bourne in her hotel room. Later in New York, Bourne calls Landy. She thanks him for the tape, reveals his original name—David Webb—and his date and place of birth, and asks him to meet her. Bourne, watching her from a building, tells her she looks tired and to get some rest, then disappears into the city.

In Their Own Story

The fluorescent lights hummed overhead in the secure office. Landy sat behind the desk, a classified file open before her. Photographs of bloodied faces lined the folder, evidence of a program that should not exist. She looked up at the man standing in the doorway. He held no weapon, only exhaustion and the weight of a stolen past. She knew the order was to terminate him on sight, but she also knew the truth he carried could burn the entire agency down. With a steady hand, she closed the file.
