This sure sounds like one of the plots on the Treadstone tv series from
a few years ago. I'd say the assasin with a secret identity as an
ordinary family woman has been done to death and much better and that
this standard plot should be retired for a few years, but no one cares
what my opinion is.

 

"Treadstone tv series."  Treadstone as in the Bourne Identity?

 Yes. They adapted a tv series based on the evil Treadstone program from
the Robert Ludlum novels. There were no references to anything else in
the novels nor the movie adaptations. I don't think the Jason Bourne
character was even mentioned in dialogue.
 10 episodes, USA Network, September-December 2019
 Very little of the continuing plot made sense. I don't recall that
any of the story lines were wrapped up.
 There was plenty of snarking here on Usenet.

Hmmm, I don't remember hearing of it before and I think I would have sampled it if I had.  Oh well, if it is available it no doubt is on some streaming service so not available to me now.
