Peter Devereaux
Veteran CIA officer Peter Devereaux retires from the agency in 2008 after his partner and protege David Mason disobeys Devereaux's orders not to fire on an assassin, accidentally killing a child during a mission to protect a US Ambassador in Montenegro.
Devereaux retires to Switzerland and opens up a coffee shop.
Devereaux's former boss, John Hanley, seeks him out and recruits him to extract a deep cover CIA operative from Russia, Natalia Ulanova.
Ulanova has been posing as the aide of presidential candidate and former Russian Army General Arkady Fedorov and knows the name of a witness who can tie Fedorov to war crimes.
Hanley says Natalia will not turn over the name unless she is brought in and wants Peter's help getting out of Russia.
Hanley also tells Peter that Fedorov's personal assassin Alexa has been assigned to murder all of Fedorov's former associates who have knowledge of his past crimes.
Unbeknownst to Devereaux, Mason's own team is dispatched to extract Natalia as well, with CIA station chief Perry Weinstein (Will Patton) in charge of the operation.
Mason's team is likewise unaware of Hanley's actions.
Natalia manages to break into Fedorov's personal safe, copying several photos depicting a disheveled young girl and a younger Fedorov.
Natalia manages to escape and contacts Mason's team to ready her for extraction.
However, Fedorov notices that his personal key is still in the safe and alerts the FSB, who chase her through the streets of Moscow until Peter arrives and rescues Natalia.
Natalia, though surprised to see Peter, gives him a name, Mira Filipova, which Peter relays to Hanley.
Mason's team doesn't realize that Devereaux has Natalia and think she may have been captured by the Russians.
Weinstein gives the order to kill Natalia despite Hanley's objections.
David kills Natalia with a sniper rifle; Natalia hands Peter the cell phone containing the incriminating photos before she dies.
Peter notices the CIA drone that had been following his car heading towards the parking garage where David fired from.
He goes to the garage and quickly kills all of Mason's CIA team until he runs into Mason at gunpoint.
Stunned, Mason and Devereaux walk away from each other.
Hanley looks up files on Mira Filipova, but a CIA strike team breaks into his house and subdues him.
Weinstein debriefs Mason on his encounter with his former mentor, and shows him pictures of Devereaux and Natalia in a relationship, even though Devereaux told Mason in the past that spies should not have relationships because the significant other can be used as leverage against them.
Langley has ordered Devereaux killed, as not stopping him would mean more field agents being killed out of revenge.
Meanwhile, New York Times reporter Edgar Simpson tracks down refugee case worker Alice Fournier (Olga Kurylenko) and asks for her assistance in helping him write an expose of Fedorov and his alleged war crimes during the 2nd Chechen War.
The assassin Alexa arrives in Belgrade, where a hacker contact notifies her that Alice will meet Edgar in a restaurant.
Peter also arrives in Belgrade and knocks out the CIA strike team that secured Hanley's apartment.
Peter discovers that Alice is Mira's contact and impersonates the CIA strike team to manipulate them into tracking Alice's phone.
Peter manages to rescue Alice from the assassin and Mason's CIA team.
Alice says that Mira pretended to be mute around Fedorov, who had sexually abused her during the 2nd Chechen War.
Mira is able to understand Russian since her parents are university professors and overheard every single conversation that Fedorov has had - including plans for a false flag conspiracy to bomb a building held by the Russian Army to justify the 2nd Chechen War and the seizure of Chechen oil fields.
When Peter confronts Denisov, one of Fedorov's former associates, he confirms the conspiracy and says the CIA actively helped Fedorov.
Weinstein gives Mason additional motivation to kill Devereaux by showing Mason how Devereaux disparaged Mason's performance in reviews, recommending he be fired due to his impulsivity.
Mason decides to go on a date with his next door neighbor Sarah (Eliza Taylor), and ends up sleeping with her.
Unbeknownst to him, Devereaux and Alice have broken into the apartment across the street and are observing their departure and arrival.
Devereaux sends off Alice with cash and disposable cell phones before breaking into Mason's apartment.
Devereaux holds Sarah hostage and tests Mason's character by cutting her femoral artery before fleeing.
Mason chooses to save Sarah, buying her time until an ambulance arrives.
Fedorov arrives in Belgrade for an energy conference, where he meets Alexa.
Alexa kills Edgar at his home when Alice tries to meet with him, but Alice manages to escape.
Peter infiltrates the CIA black site where Hanley is being held and confronts him about the CIA's involvement with Fedorov in Chechnya.
Hanley claims Weinstein aided Fedorov.
Hanley also states that Mira's parents were university professors that taught her to speak Russian, revealing that Alice Fournier is actually Mira Filipova.
David later realizes that the real Alice Fournier died years ago and Mira took her identity.
Alice disguises herself as a prostitute and goes to Fedorov's hotel to try and kill him, as he murdered both of her parents before abducting and abusing her.
Peter manages to track her down, kills Fedorov's security, and plays Russian Roulette with Fedorov on camera to make him give the name of the CIA agent who conspired with him.
Fedorov states it was Hanley, which Alice confirms after seeing him in a photo.
Peter and Alice escape the hotel, but not before Peter kills more of Mason's CIA team and knocking out Mason himself, giving him the recorded confession before leaving.
However, when David and fellow operative Celia try and confront Weinstein with the evidence against Hanley, they find Hanley has replaced Weinstein.
Langley has decided that Federov is worth keeping around despite his war crimes and is allowing Hanley to run the show.
Thinking his mission is over, Peter tells Alice to disappear before trying to call his daughter Lucy.
However, Peter finds out that Hanley has ordered David to kidnap Lucy.
Alice offers to give herself up for Lucy but Peter convinces her to go to a train station and wait for him there.
Alice sits at a computer terminal and emails the editor of the New York Times with her story of Fedorov's war crimes, co-crediting Edgar with the story.
Alexa manages to track Alice to her computer terminal, but Alice manages to knock Alexa out with a large shovel after a brief chase.
Peter meets with Hanley and David's men and gives Mason a bogus bus station address to send him on a wild goose chase.
However, David and Celia trace the phone call from Lucy and her kidnappers, and David quickly kills the kidnappers and rescues Lucy.
David returns to Hanley and Peter without Alice, and David and Devereaux kill the rest of Hanley's men before holding Hanley at gunpoint.
Peter thanks his former protege and escapes with his daughter to the train station where Alice is waiting for them.
Later, Alice testifies at the International Criminal Court about Fedorov's war crimes and conspiracy with Hanley, sinking Fedorov's campaign.
He is later shot in the head by a sniper while relaxing on his yacht.
