"I'll peel his face away. The Americans can have their Cain without a face! Then they can give this Bourne, this Delta, whatever name they care to." (34.20)
This is Carlos's most explicit and inventive supervillain threat. He's going to peel away Bourne's face. Death is linked to losing identity—which makes Bourne in some sense a dead man already. Carlos has such trouble killing Bourne in part because Bourne isn't quite alive. Faceless zombie Bourne taunts Carlos from beyond the grave.
