Corrected entry: Near the end of the film, an "asset" is called upon to kill Bourne. He is seen in the final car chase and eventual crash with Bourne escaping and the "asset" bloody and near death in an SUV. In a following scene where Bourne is about to jump off a roof as a last resort, the same "asset" is holding a gun on him.

Correction: He was near death, but like Bourne, he is an enhanced agent who walks off his own near-death experience regularly. He's more shocked at Bourne not taking him out than him when he is being vulnerable. And then Bourne repeating the Professor's words to him - "Look at us. Look what they make you give" - stops him from taking the shot because literally no one can understand him except another agent like him.

Correction: Then quite patently the 'asset' wasn't near death at all. What you have to consider is that Bourne had him with no chance of escape, so the 'asset' simply exaggerated the effects of the crash so as not to be shot.
