The ENTIRE Hitman Story... So Far...

[Music] now I know that this is not horror I know but I'm a law guy I absolutely love law and learning the stories behind games even more so when they are games that I played as a kid who is playing zero notice to the storylines I absolutely loved the Hitman games whilst growing up nothing beats that nostalgic feeling of firing up either Silent Assassin or blood Money hacking back to those days playing on a massive TV in my parents living room on my PS2 spending hours on levels to this bold-headed nutcase with a barcode on the back of his head could find crafty ways of taking out targets without raising suspicion again I didn't even know what the story was I just knew that the games were a lot of fun but for some reason I just stopped playing I became engrossed in franchises like Resident Evil Silent Hill and Bioshock then I became a massive GTA fanatic but then I stumbled onto the world of assassination Trilogy in 2020 and again I was lured back in I've been meaning to do a big Hitman video ever since and having bought all of the games and slogged through playing the very difficult and Nightmare inducing codename 47 if you've played it you know I finally played through and captured footage from every single Hitman game in the franchise so far I say so far as it's not really clear where developer IO interactive wanted to take this franchise next I need to mention before we keep this video off that there were a couple of mobile side games the turn-based Tactical puzzle game Hitman Go and Hitman sniper which is basically Agent 47 sat on a hill shooting people in a compound anyway due to these games not really having stories and just being side games we won't be talking about them again in this video I also do need to mention that due to the nature of these games featuring sandbox type levels offering you flexibility in how you conduct missions some of my explanations may vary to how you played the game naturally there will be spoilers for Hitman in this video so you have been warned but let's begin right at the start in 1999 a man wakes up in a padded cell to the sound of a mysterious man over a loudspeaker telling him that they have work to do the voice refers to the man as 47. his cell door unlocks and then the man claims that he is the man he can trust the most on the other side of his cell door is a suit and then 47 is taken through an obstacle course where 47 utilizes various weapons showing an expert Proficiency in it n47 disguises himself as a guard or rather an orderly and escapes the man who was watching 47's Escape laughs to himself I know that we've just started but we should take a moment to look at the backstory of 47 and exactly how he ended up in that padded cell to 1962 a former Youth Correctional Facility or a young offenders Institute in Romania near brassov is taken over by a Soviet research initiative named The Institute for human betterment essentially it's a mental institution the person in charge of this initiative was a man named Otto Wolfgang Altmeyer a German scientist who actually served in the French Foreign Legion in the 1950s it was around this time that ortmeyer developed an obsession with genetics or more specifically manipulating genetics this came after we discovered the limitations and potential subordination of the average Soldier but back to 1962 the basement of this institute for human betterment contains something very dark and Sinister it was essentially a human cloning program along with genetic experimentation and on the 5th of September of the Year 1964 clone 47 is successfully cloned he has a barcode tattoed on the back of his head but the numbers do have some significance 640509 is the date of his birth or creation zero four refers to him being the part of the fourth series of clones and zero one means he is the first clone of that particular series and 47 means that he is the 47th of Dr ortmeyer's clones 47 was regularly injected and this caused him to lash out other doctors at the Asylum 47 is trained in the art of assassination trained in using Firearms trained in martial arts the use of Disguise and blending in and 47 developed a heightened sense of awareness in the comic series titled birth of the Hitman 47 formed a close friendship with a fellow clone named six and the two of them grew so close that they were sent out on assassination missions together in 1973 though discontentment was brewing in six he convinced 47 to escape from the Asylum with him and they arrived in a small farming Village but the following morning they worked to the sound of gunfire and everyone in the village had been killed on the orders of Dr ortmeyer 47 and 6 were recaptured and returned to the Institute fast forward to 1989 and the pair attempt to escape again this time they were on an assignment in Berlin they convinced a German scientist who designed the explosive chip implants inside them to deactivate said implants 47 killed the scientists and they returned to the Asylum and attempted to free the other clones this failed and 6 and 47 were trapped in a cafeteria 47 offered to stay at the Asylum allowing six to escape and six was then considered dead for 47 it didn't end well in order to prevent another Uprising 47's memory was completely wiped with an experimental serum including all his memory of six he did however retain the knowledge of his training so he didn't lose any of his skills this serum was also later administered to all the other clones in the facility too a lot of clones reacted badly to the serum and a lot died as a result however 47 was absolutely fine those others that it did survive eventually became too weak to carry out assassinations 47 ended up as the only clone there of the Asylum who could carry out what he was created for a kill this leads us into the events of codename 47 and 47's final escape from the Asylum he escaped rather easily and there is a reason for that which we'll get to soon so now we have some backstory and we know that 47's memory had been wiped we have some context behind what's going to happen next since the year 1998 up to his escape from the Asylum an organization called the international contract agency or the ICA had taken an interest in 47 skills as well as his activities in the birth of the Hitman novel 47 is sent on a contract by an unknown client to assassinate a man named Franklin marshand a developer of satellite technology but on the side Marshawn had been producing chemical weapons in Afghanistan now this wouldn't have been such a big deal had it not been for a leak at one of the plants resulting in the death of 500 people in the area 47's contract stated that Martian had to die in a way that made it look like an accident otherwise he'd become a martyr one issue another person had hired the ICA to deal with marshan 2 and the ICA sent four people along to take out Marshawn 47 temporarily incapacitated the ICA team and killed Marshawn making it look like an accident after this a lady working for the ICA named Diana burnwood meets 47 in a bar and offers him the chance to audition for the ICA we see 47 arriving at a top secret ICA facility where he meets with Diana again he's put through various scenarios psych evaluations and more interestingly has a background check done the ica's training director at the time Eric soda's comments that it's almost as if the Earth just spat him out sodas didn't trust 47 and believed he was lying about certain things regarding where he came from which of course was the Asylum so does and the ICA wanted to know as much about him as possible in order to use it against him should the situation arise Diana did give 47 some help in passing his auditions and then not long after this 47 was made an ICA agent simply named Agent 47 and Diana was assigned as his Handler it didn't take long until Agent 47 received his first contract it's time to go to Hong Kong 47's first contract with the ICA was to take out a Triad gang leader named Lee Hong the problem is that a hong was so well protected by the police thanks to the corrupt chief of police and if 47 attempts to get close to him straight away he would almost certainly end up dead Lee Hong belongs to the red dragon Triad another Triad gang in Hong Kong named The Blue Lotus Triad exist and 47 needs to instigate a gang war between the two gangs to start with 47 takes out a red dragon negotiator shortly after this the Blue Lotus Triad become terrified that Lee Hong is going to blame them for the death of his negotiator not wanting a war the Blue Lotus Triad sends an emissary to Lee Hong's restaurant to apologize the plan is to kill the Emissary and his bodyguards making it look like a counter-attack from Lee Hong the hit goes well with 47 taking out his targets but more is to be done the last hit has triggered a war between the Triads corrupt Chief steps in and is meeting representatives from both sides in the hope of brokering a peace deal Agent 47 steals a disguise belonging to the red dragon negotiator places a red dragon amulet on the table in the restaurant and craftily takes out the chief of police this leads to the police withdrawing their protection of Lee Hong still with a sizable Army protecting him though taking out Lee Hong will still prove to be a challenge 47 infiltrates Lee Hong's restaurant also his headquarters and meets a prostitute named Lei Ling after helping her Escape she mentions that there is a CIA agent being held down in the basement by The Red Dragon Triad she gives 47 the code to Lee Hong's safe as he needs an amulet from it 47 frees the CIA agent and agent Carlton Smith and Smith tells 47 the location of the safe and he escapes 47 gets to the safe and grabs the amulet it gives the amulet to a vendor in the restaurant who gives 47 some poison 47 gets a waiter's uniform poisons Lee Hong's soup taking it to Lee Hong though his massive bodyguard soon tastes it and while he gets poisoned Lee Hong runs off and 47 is grab bite soon but shoots him he takes an elevator to Lee Hong's location and kills him he takes a rather cryptic letter from his body from a man named France next up 47 needs to head on a contract to the Jungle in Colombia another mysterious person has asked the ICA to take out a drug lord named Pablo Ochoa Ochoa has a drug Empire and has built it in the jungle the problem is that it's spilling onto land that belongs to the local iwa tribe 47 uses this to his Advantage One of Ochoa's planes had crashed whilst drug smuggling and has ordered his men to retrieve a golden idol from the wreckage 47 gets there first frees the brother of the tribe leader who is being held captive and gives the idol back to the tribe as a reward for his loyalty to them they tell 47 of a secret passage to a choice base but they do warn him about encountering a sacred God they call Tess Cutler poker a god of death well this turns out to just be a Jaguar nonetheless 47 finds the entrance and crawls through he infiltrates Ochoa's base and finding him role-playing as Tony Montana 47 takes him out takes a bomb plants it in the drug lab blows it up and uses Ochoa's personal plane to escape the jungle but another day another contract this time 47 is tasked with assassinating a man named Franz Fuchs an Austrian terrorist he's planning to blow up a hotel called the hotel Gallard in Budapest the reason was that many world leaders were meeting there for a peace Summit 47 kills Fuchs and on his desk are two letters remember the letter 47 found on Lee Hong two letters on France's desk are from Lee Hong and Pablo Ochoa they were both labeled blood muscle these targets are all connected somehow nonetheless 47 recovers the bomb and escapes the hotel next up he sent on a contract to Rotterdam where he is sent to track down and assassinate an arms dealer named arcades jagarov he's also known as Boris so we'll just refer to him as that Dinah also informs 47 before he sets off that their suspicions about these targets all being connected were involved in the French Foreign Legion in some way anyway on the assignment 47 needs to First find Boris as he's not an easy man to track down he plans to track her on a local gang's car this gang of buying weapons from an arms dealer named Ivan who is working closely with Boris 47 follows the car to their Hideout and places the tracker from the car into the briefcase of money Ivan turns up and takes the payment to am the tracker and it leads 47 to a large ship on which Boris Was preparing a nuke Agent 47 plants a bomb in his car in the event that Boris tries to escape Agent 47 boards the ship under the skies and finds that the bomb was armed and ready to be detonated after killing Boris whichever way he sees fit 47 disarms the bomb and takes the ship out to international waters later being picked up by the ICA after this the ICA suspicions were further confirmed when they found out that all four previous contracts were ordered by the same person even though this was against regulations the ICA recognized the power that the client had and authorized one final contract from this client the target was a doctor Kovacs a doctor working in a Romanian Hospital using the Alias Tobias Reaper 47 goes up to meet with Dr Kovacs then this happened hello and welcome to you Mr Reaper how may I assist you that depends are you the only doctor Kovacs here yes I am hey I recognize you you were the one with a needle it wasn't me I was hardly involved in the experiments it was Professor ortmeyer who was in charge yes yes he's the one to blame not me yep Kovacs was the one who subjected 47 to all those traumatic injections when he was younger Kovacs blames it on ortmeyer but 47 kills him SWAT teams have arrived at the hospital after being caught by the receptionist they are there to take 47 out taking kovac's disguise 47 finds agent Smith again drugged out of his mind and after administering an antidote Smith leads 47 to an underground lab a place where 47 will find answers 47 realizes that the basement he woke up in a year earlier was a lab for human cloning experiments he then Hears A Familiar voice the man who had helped him escape the Asylum the previous year [Music] so if you haven't put it together yet it's revealed that all of the hits came from one man Dr ortmeyer we've already discovered that clone 47 was made from DNA and was Genetically Enhanced to be a killing machine but he was made from the DNA of five people Lee Hong Pablo Ochoa France Fuchs Boris and ottmeyer himself so he essentially has five dads remember how easy the Escape was ortmeyer was the man talking to 47 at the start and he helped 47 Escape because his associates who were funding his research got tired of waiting and due to all the setbacks they wanted ought Meyer to hand 47 over to them so they could use him for their own agenda which is what their letters referred to Fort Myer though has actually created a load of agent 48 clones more powerful than 47. the final contract was a trap and ottmeyer figured he must kill 47 but with Agent 47 being very good at what he does he kills all the 48 clones in a final confrontation with ortmeyer he kills him you have proved to be my favorite son I am so proud of you I should have known but recognize my own son you broke my heart my son what good is a bullet foreign and then in the game Hitman contract we get a view into how 47 escaped from the Asylum after killing Dr ortmeyer he took a car and drove right through the front Gates then that brings this chapter of 47's Journey to an end two men speak on a cargo ship they are talking about Boris the weapons dealer that 47 killed in Rotterdam one of the men boris's half-brother Sergey and a mystery man talk about the cloning program and its goal of augmenting and improving the human species the mystery man says he knows the location of the asylum in Romania the two arrive there and see CCTV footage of 47 taking out swap members and escaping the mystery man states that this is the work of Mr 47 to which Sergey replies that 47 is just a rumor seems this mystery man actually saw 47 in Rotterdam during his mission to take out Boris Sergey asks if 47 is For Hire but the other man says that 47 has gone quiet and for all he knows 47 could even be dead then they set out to go and find him this leads us into Hitman 2 Silent Assassin it seems that after two years 47 has got tired of Life as a Hitman for hire and has left the ICA and retired in 2002 he moved to Sicily and became a man of Faith living and working at a church run by father Emilia Vittorio and the two become great friends 47 would tend to the gardens on the church grounds he wants to confess his past to Father Vittorio and 47 goes to confession and tells the priest about his past not long after this confession father Vittorio is approached outside the church by two people in the car one of the men gets out punches father Vittorio in the face and they kidnap him leaving a hefty Ransom of half a million dollars knowing he doesn't have that money 47 reaches out to the ICA and agrees to carry out an assassination contract in exchange for any information pertaining to the possible whereabouts of Father Vittorio he was taken by a local mobster named Giuseppe Giuliani a capo for one of the largest and most influential mafia families in Sicily Giuseppe is hold up but a nearby villa Villa Borghese the ICA want 47 to take out a couple of mafia members for them and they have intelligence that father Vittorio is being held in the Villa's basement he needs to take out Don Giuliani he does so but father Vittorio is not there the agency later confirms to 47 that they saw on satellite four Russian men dragging him away and then they lost him at an airport 47's work isn't finished though he still needs to repay his debt to the ICA and he takes a contract that was put out on our next KGB General General ramyansev and we're meeting with other generals at the zaitsev building in Saint Petersburg after identifying the general 47 takes him out in the aftermath the generals start to investigate the reason behind the murder of romancev the ICA have naturally missed the skill set of Agent 47 and they want him back they state that although his debt has been paid their client really needs the contract taken care of 47 replies that he doesn't really care about their client but nonetheless he agrees to go on another assassination this time he's tasked with taking out another of the generals a man named General Makarov Makarov is terrified that someone is coming for him next so he's trying to get some protection from a mafia contact of his a man named Igor kabasco they have agreed to meet at the kirov park in Saint Petersburg and 47 manages to take the both of them out escaping via boat but the assignment just got tougher the next Target General Mikhail badachenko needs nothing out but he's in a secret bunker underground 47 infiltrates kills badachenko and Frieza prisoner yep agent Smith has got himself into yet more bother three generals down one to go finally 47 is sent to the German Embassy where he is to take out General Vladimir zubikov not only that 47 is to retrieve a briefcase which contains a missile guidance system the general is planning to sell it to the highest bidder in the west the Russians weren't happy about one of their generals potentially defecting to a NATO country so they sent an agent from the Spetsnaz to retrieve the briefcase too 47 kills the general and retrieves the briefcase with 47 now out of retirement he sent on a mission to eliminate a Japanese arms dealer named Masahiro hayamoto he's got an important missile guidance system but the ICA don't actually know where he is not a problem though hayamoto Jr is hanging out at a remote location 47 go to the location and places a Tracker inside hayamoto Jr by way of poisoned fish eliminating him using the poison fish with the tracker inside the fish with haimoto Junior dead his body with the tracker inside was taken to hayamoto senior to his castle katsuyama Joe of course he has a castle hayamoto has been in hiding for 15 years so this is an opportunity the ICA cannot miss the place is well hidden and extremely well guarded but this means nothing to Agent 47 though and he infiltrates the castle during his voyage through the castle 47 meets a familiar face lay Ling who we first met and helped escape from Hong Kong I'm so glad to see you again you are my number one still living a lousy life I see 47 kills hayamoto senior and takes the missile guidance system escaping by helicopter his next mission takes him to Kuala Lumpur Malaysia where he is set to take out a hacker named Charlie sujan who has stolen an extremely valuable piece of military software from the U.S government 47 enters the basement where Charlie is working and assassinates him but he discovers that the man he assassinated wasn't Charlie it was Charlie's twin brother Charlie himself is actually in his jacuzzi in one of the Suites 47 needs to place a hacking device on one of the computer terminals so that the client can retrieve the software he does this but the client discovers that the software codes have already been passed on they've been passed on to an Indian cult called the gujjwara the client says that they are one of their own customers and he is furious that his customers stole something from right under his nose 47 still has to eliminate Charlie though so he goes to his penthouse suite and takes him out it needs to look like a burglary gone wrong so after stealing some valuable 47 escapes next up a contract in Afghanistan he is sent into retrieve some cargo which was stolen from their client by Afghan Rebels or more specifically the nearest Stan Rebels he needs to eliminate Lieutenant Ahmed Zahir obtain a map with the location of the cargo which is some Warheads eliminate Colonel Muhammad Amin and get a key from him 47 after completing this mission is to kill the local Khan he's trying to sell the client's cargo to the United Nations who will be arriving to check out the goods 47 takes out the Khan and escapes the area but he still needs to retrieve the cargo for the client it's in an underground base after taking out his Target use of Hussein 47 secures the cargo and it's loaded onto a helicopter the agency then contact 47 and Diana tells him that they're still trying to find Vittorio Agent 47 then comes to the realization that father otorio is probably dead and decides to carry on working for the ICA he raises his fee by 50 percent and request that they stop looking for Vittorio 47 needs to go and meet with the agency's contact he knows a way into the gudwara's sacred Temple the cargo Retreat from Afghanistan cannot seem to find its way into the hands of the client it's been stolen again this time by the Gurdwara who stole the chopper that was scheduled to pick it up 47 meets with a contact it's agent Smith again he tells 47 that there are three assassins hunting him and 47 needs to take them out not only that but the Cults leader Diwana G has tightened security due to rumors of an attempt on his life in order to ensure Smith's safety 47 takes out all the assassins he finds a secret passage which leads to an island and 47 reaches it via boat he takes out deewana G's personal physician Hannah law Von comprad and then moves on to a hospital Island G was set to undergo heart surgery and 47 impersonating a surgeon managed to get past security and perform an operation killing dewana G however on escaping the island 47 is attacked by someone who looks remarkably like himself 47 can give Chase but will get blown up so in the case of this story he escapes the island the ICA then find out shortly after that all of 47's previous contracts were ordered by one man Sergey zavarottko the brother of Boris serga had set up all the contracts in order to obtain components for a nuclear bomb and then he'd sell that to the Indian cultists his plan hit a snag though when the cultists betrayed him the UN then contact the ICA they want Sergey dead so 47 needs to return to Saint Petersburg 47 arrives to take down Sergey but he's not there the cardboard cutout is 47 instead encounters and kills agent 17. the Clone he encountered on the hospital Island this was a setup by Sergey the mystery man and agent 17. 17. you have a problem report back 17. did you take the bait what is it 17. are you there where are you far away why what do you need to know sir guy 17 is gone this is 47. 47 but uh you had your chance sir guy now get off my back or throat there must be some misunderstanding but me and my friends with dollars think so you got Victoria let's just say he is here for a spiritual guidance sir guy you tutorial out of this understand ing is an assassination double crossing creep 47 goes back to Sicily to the church but Sergey is there his men are everywhere but they're no match for 47 and after gunning them all down he kills Sergey and saves father Vittorio the end of the game father Vittorio pleaded with 47 to follow a good path in life but 47 left the church and continued his career as a hitman okay so we're skipping contracts for now but there is a good reason for it as contracts technically takes place in the middle of blood money but let's continue fast forward two more years to 2004. Agent 47 has been sent on an assignment by the ICA to take out a man named Joseph Clarence also known as the Swing King Clarence ran a very popular amusement park that was until 2002 when an accident which was due to a ferris wheel malfunctioning resulted in a lot of injuries and deaths Clarence went bankrupt due to the lawsuits his marriage fell apart and the Park closed and eventually became run down and decrepit desperate for money Clarence allowed a gangster called scoop to use the grounds to make and sell drugs on the assumption that scoop would cut Clarence in on some of the profits but scoop refused to pay Clarence a penny one of the people who had died at the park had a family member who wouldn't let it go and that person contacted the ICA as they wanted Clarence taken care of 47 takes out goop and all of his gang members and he takes out Clarence too not long after this hit 47 is sent out on another this time to take out a man named Don Fernando Delgado and his son Manuel Don Fernando was a wine producer in Chile but he was also heavily involved in the illegal drug trade their particular cartel was previously involved in a large drug war with Pablo Ochoa's cartel the man 47 killed back in Colombia which explains why Don Fernando decided to move the drug operation to his Vineyard anyway 47 takes out father and son and escapes following month Agent 47 is sent to Paris to assassinate a famous tenor named Alvaro Del varde and his friend the American ambassador to the Vatican Richard De La hunt de alvade and delahunt were actually The Architects of a prostitution and trafficking ring trafficking young boys and girls around Eastern Europe dalvade was starring in a play called Tosca and delahunt was going to be present at the rehearsal one particular scene was dalvade's character being executed 47 infiltrates the theater and retrieves a World War One replica gun from his jacket pocket he then sneaks to Del varde's co-stars room and switches the prop gun with the real one he then climbs the rig and watches Del varde get executed delahunt realizing there's something wrong runs to investigate in 47 shoots the chandelier and it lands on delahunt killing him 47 then escapes the theater okay so this is where the main storyline for Hitman contracts comes in it's not really a long plot the majority of the game is made up of flashbacks to previous missions that 47 has been sent on some of these are just missions from codename 47. anyway after leaving the theater in Paris 47 is being watched by a police officer 47 ends up getting shot and wounded 47 managed to get back to his apartment and he collapsed he started to have flashbacks to his previous missions these included escaping from the Asylum after killing Altmeyer a mission in a slaughterhouse where to take out some fat dude who called himself the meat King along with his lawyer a mission in Siberia where he had to take out Fabian Fuchs the brother of France Fuchs one of 47's five fathers a hit in England where he took out a couple of Rich toffs along with saving a man held captive by them and he also had flashbacks to missions where he infiltrated a biker gang to kill their leader and retrieve some sensitive photographs and then he also remembered his missions in taking out Boris and also the hit on Lee Hong in Hong Kong during these flashbacks 47 was saved by a doctor that the ICA had sent the doctor had to leave at some point though as the police had surrounded the building the doctor gave 47 a serum and 47 started to come round the SWAT team led by inspector Albert Fournier entered the apartment complex and 47 had to escape but before he did he took out Fournier after leaving Paris 47 is on a plane heading back to the U.S and he speaks with Diana she says that the ICA is losing friends at the FBI CIA MI5 Scotland Yard and she suspects that something is going on at the highest level 47 says that he'll lay low for a couple of months but if it's not sorted out by then then he'll just find a new employer Diana responds saying the only reason they are all squeezing the ICA is to get at 47. Diana hands 47 a file saying she knows where the pressure is coming from an organization called the franchise but more on them later 47 now back in the U.S starts to receive lots of offers and contracts such as his reputation as an efficient Hitman in April of 2004 47 gets back into the thick of it by infiltrating a rehabilitation center he meets up with an undercover agent you guessed it agent Smith who informs 47 of the identity of his Target 47 needs to help Smith Escape but seeing as the rehab center only releases patience from their care through sobriety or death 47 uses an experimental drug which causes the patient to appear dead only to be revived with an antidote later on this helped 47 revive Smith and the pair Escape after 47 took out his targets a month later 47 is tasked with taking out a gangster and witness protection called Vinnie sinistra 47 needed to retrieve a highly sensitive piece of evidence which according to the client cannot be allowed to see the light of day 47 would now come face to face with one of the creations of the franchise one of two Elite albino assassins the Clone in question is called Mark Pariah Jr he is part of a small group of Assassins called the crows two other members couple Raymond kolinsky and Angela Mason along with Pariah Jr are planning to assassinate the Secretary of the Interior Jimmy silly because of his plan to re-elect the U.S president Tom Stewart 47 does what he does best and kills them whilst ensuring the safety of the secretary months later sleigh bells are ringing and 47 needs to assassinate a senator's son Chad Bingham Jr along with an adult entertainment Mogul called launder Haviland lawn has a pretty spicy video of Chad murdering a prostitute the order itself came from Senator bingham's own campaign team whilst avoiding a franchise assassin 47 takes out both targets and retrieves the evidence two contracts up next same client but in Mississippi 47 boards a ship and kills members of a drug trading gang along with their leader skip Muldoon 47 then retrieves some more sensitive photos from Skip's safe he he then crashes a wedding and kills the groom who is Skip's son buddy along with Buddy's new father-in-law John LeBlanc whilst ensuring that the bride Margot LeBlanc who is actually Buddy's cousin survives it's possible that Margot was actually the client who ordered the hit this is due to the fact that she doesn't want to marry buddy at all she later sold all her family's assets and moved somewhere else heading to Vegas next 47 arrives at the shamal hotel he's there to fulfill a contract hit on Sheikh Mohammed bin Faisal al-khalifa who is the CEO of an Arabian pharmaceutical exporter he is there to buy lab reports and DNA from a South African white supremacist called Hendrick Schmutz the Sheikh has a scientist working for him called Tariq Abdul Latif anyway the Shady deal would never go down as 47 kill them all but now around this time the franchise were taking out all of the ica's agents until all that remained were Diana and 47. Diana chooses to close down the ICA but they decide it's time for one last contract they need to take out the Assassins who killed their agents still in Vegas 47 goes to a heaven and hell party at the heaven party 47 takes out a corrupt CIA operative named Anthony Martinez who has been selling weapons to his girlfriend Vana Catlin an arms dealer and after descending to the hell party he takes out the franchise's Assassin named Eve shortly after this in September 2005 Agent 47 is contacted by agent Smith he offers 47 admission to prevent the assassination of the president of the United States Tom Stewart remember I mentioned the albino clones that there were two of them while the second of the two clones Mark parchesi III is the Assassin and 47 needs to take him out along with the vice president Daniel Morris the vice president is a dodgy character he's been working for an organization called Alpha Xerox this is the company responsible for the franchise's cloning program they want the president killed so that Daniel Morris can be installed as president so that he can ban cloning programs giving the franchise the Monopoly on creating clones Alpha Xerox had already had the previous vice president assassinated in a car crash elevating Morris to the position of Vice President not long before this a lot of people in the Hitman Community although it's not confirmed believe the mystery man from Silent Assassin to be that of Daniel Morris anyway 47 infiltrates the the White House and takes out the vice president all hell breaks loose but eventually 47 kills parchese on the roof of the West Wing the heat is on after this hit and 47 goes to his Hideout as is being hunted by the police and also franchise agents Diana turns up unannounced and this makes 47 very wary she hands him a briefing but it's a trap Diana injects 47 with poison Diana is then inducted into the franchise as one of their agents by their leader Alexander Leland Kane [Music] meet Alexander Leland Kane leader of the franchise not much is actually known about Kane prior to the game's events but he was a successful businessman a work accident resulting in paralysis and burns to his face left in wheelchair bound and he was convinced that this accident was actually an assassination attempt and because of this Kane developed an obsession with assassins he joined the CIA and went on to lead an operation as director of the FBI to try and take out agent 47. he considered cloning projects a weapon of mass destruction of sorts but he had an ulterior motive being the secret leader of the franchise Kane wanted to destroy the ICA as he himself had his own cloning program by seeing as his cloning program wasn't very good he needed DNA samples from 47 to start making his clones more powerful throughout Blood Money Kane is manipulating things pulling strings Kane's entire goal was to have cloning banned and to install a president as his puppet and as we've discussed Daniel Morris was that man Kane used the corruption in album Fournier in order to try and get to 47 the police officer who shot 47 in Paris was actually Mark parchesi III in Disguise he ordered hits on the Secretary of the Interior he ordered his clones to start assassinating the ica's agents and operatives putting them out of business he ordered the hit on President Stewart his Turning Point would come when he'd learn of 47's whereabouts and he convinces Diana to betray 47 and deliver him to Kane if she did this she would be spared by Kane now at the start of this game and throughout it broken up into sections we see that Kane invited a reporter to his Mansion a reporter named Rick Henderson Kane's aim was to lie to the reporter blaming 47 for everything that happened he told Henderson that 4-7 was responsible for the hits on the delgados dalvade and delahunt but this is where Kane started to twist the truth a little bit when it came to details of the Vinnie sinistra job Kane tells the reporter that 47 kill Vinnie because he had evidence of Dr altmeyer's cloning program and all the data on it he made a lie that at 47 killed Vinnie and sold that data to the highest bidder he said that the Mardi Gras attempt on the secretary's life was orchestrated by 47 and that Pariah the albino assassin clone was actually an associate of 47 when in reality 47 saved the secretary giving him this massive scoop Kane takes Henderson to see proof of everything he said 47's body lying in the church ready for cremation Kane painted the death of 47 as a complete accident almost in a way to humiliate the world's most dangerous Assassin by Framing his death as an accident Dino walks into the church and places 47 signature silver baller pistols on his chest she kisses him but unbeknownst to everyone else she has an antidote on her lips it's clear that Diana had a plan and killed 47 to save both of their lives then probably one of the coolest moments I've experienced in gaming 47 then causes an absolute bloodbath at the church and murders everyone including Kane sometime after this Diana who had likely dismantled the franchise from the inside reopened the ICA using the resources from the franchise in order to do so Diana takes a call and explains that they lost track of 47. meanwhile 47 walks into a building and asks to access a service that is in the back this chapter of Hitman comes to a close [Music] we now move on to the Hitman novel titled Hitman damnation this book gives us some context behind and is a prequel to the next game in the series Hitman Absolution around six years since the events of blood money in 2011 47 is sent to Nepal and is to assassinate a Chinese General named namvo his soldiers have been committing unspeakable acts against the Tibetan villagers 47 is all set with his plans to carry out the hit but his contact with Diana is abruptly ended and this makes 47 suspicious it turns out that Diana is planning on abandoning the ICA and was destroying agency Financial accounts ICA operatives descended on her hotel room and she had to leave quickly anyway despite 47 killing his Target 47 gets hurt in his attempt but is taken care of by a local couple problem is that 47 is addicted to painkillers now after 14 weeks of constant back pain he abandons his attempts to check in with the ICA and he just lets them think that he died assassination of namvo no longer tied to the ICA 47 goes freelance he carries out Small Time hits from gangsters on various other gangsters but at some point 47 takes a trip to Rio De Janeiro on a private jet a treat from one of his clients called Roger but the pilot ditches the plane in mid-air and it crashes into the sea 47 is floating in the ocean for a good few hours until he passes out and wakes up on an ICA yacht an ICA operative Jade and goyen says that Roger was actually working for them and helped them locate 47. 47 learns that an ICA division Chief a man named Benjamin Travis is his new Handler having replaced Diana 47 eventually agrees to rejoin the ICA again throughout the book we see 47 carry out more assassinations on senators and criminals we also see a man named Birdie an agency informant I'm not going to explain this book in full as the plot in it is quite complex with lots of moving parts and I'm just using the book to get some context behind what happens in absolution Agent 47 carries out a hit on the Shady pastor called Charlie Wilkins but the hit resulted in riots riots which produced 193 fatalities and 758 injuries due to the heat generated from this 47 would go to Guadalajara to lay low Diana on the other hand has abandoned the ICA and is now renting a mansion in Chicago but why did she abandon the ICA [Music] so not only did Diana abandon the ICA she full-on betrayed them she sabotaged their funding and their entire database what's more she disclosed the ica's very existence to the public she then used this pandemonium inside the ICA to flee and disappear the ICA built themselves back up though and Benjamin's Travis finds Diana in Chicago Diana has been authorized for assassination and guess who gets the contract agent 47. 47 doesn't just have to take out Diana he has to retrieve a teenage girl called Victoria who is being kept by Diana in her Chicago mansion 47 assumes the identity of the driver or an ice cream truck takes out the guard and sneaks around the compound entering the house he sneaks up to Diana's room and shoots her while she's coming out of the shower 47 wants to know why she betrayed the ICA who tells 47 that she uncovered a plan by Benjamin Travis a plan that genetically engineered Victoria into a super assassin much like 47 was by Altmeyer that's why she betrayed the agency and took Victoria from them to prevent her from living a life similar to that of 47s she asks 47 to protect Victoria when he agrees to do so Diana gives 47 a letter and he cuts his line to Travis and goes dark naturally Travis assumes 47 to be a traitor too and puts every available ICA agent onto searching for him in Victoria 47 takes Victoria to the Rosewood orphanage in order for a non-named sister Mary to look after her 47 needs to know who is after Victoria and he sticks that information from the ICA informant birdie birdie needs a favor though 47 needs to assassinate a Chinatown crime Lord who goes by the name of king after King is dealt with birdie wants something else so 47 reluctantly hands over his beloved silver ball Epistles birdie tells 47 that a man named Blake Dexter owner and founder of Dexter Industries once Victoria he's staying on the top floor of the Terminus Hotel so 47 heads there 47 snuck into the Terminus hotel and overhears a conversation where it's revealed that Dexter's plan was to kidnap Victoria and set her to the highest bidder 47 spots Dexter's massive bodyguard Sanchez and tries to take him out but Sanchez easily overpowers 47. Dexter recognizes 47 and shoots a maid working at the hotel in an attempt to frame 47 sets fire to the room and leaves 47 comes to though and finds himself being hunted by the Chicago police force using his cunning and guile 47 escapes the hotel and after a tense moment moving through a train station he Blends in with the crowd and leaves on a train 47 goes to see birdie again who this time tells 47 that Dexter had an informant in Chicago this informant owns a strip club called the Vixen Club in Chicago this man's called Dominic Osmond and he's believed to be the man who has been giving Dexter information about Victoria 47 takes out Osmond however he sees fit and later after going to osman's office he finds out via a recording of a phone call that Dexter had hired a mercenary named Edward Wade along with his mercenary group in order to find birdie birdie also knew the location of Victoria but birdie of course needs 47 to help him out of the sticky situation he's found himself in and 47 heads to meet with birdie at his Chinatown Hideout but he's not there a homeless man tells 47 that Wade and his men have already got to birdie captured him and were headed downtown 47 uses Birdie's mobile Hideout to drive to the Rosewood orphanage as due to the capture of Birdie it's very likely that Wade now knows the location of Victoria what he doesn't know though is that birdie hasn't been captured at all he betrayed 47 in exchange for his own life nonetheless he's given away the location of Victoria 47 arrives at the orphanage just in time well just before Wade and his mercenaries attacked the orphanage luckily the orphanage is pretty much empty all the children have gone on a field trip All That Remains in the orphanage are the staff and the nuns 47 reaches Victoria and Sister Mary Sister Mary says that Victoria has quite mysteriously become ill the doctors don't know what's wrong with her at all but it turns out the necklace is the key to not only Victoria's abilities but also her health in general this is the moment Wade and his goons attack the orphanage and Sister Mary tells 47 that the safest place for Victoria is in the basement 47 tells her that he'll meet her there after some Shenanigans with the elevator's power it seems the Victoria has been taken by Wade 47 gets down to the basement but in the meantime Dexter's son Lenny who has been tagging along with Wade's group shoots and kills Sister Mary 47 makes his way through the basement and after hunting weighed 47 wounds him as Wade lies there dying Lenny has Victoria hostage and is holding a hand grenade forcing 47 to refrain from shooting him 47 searches weighed for a clue as to where Lenny might be taking Victoria and he finds a matchbook for a bar called Balls of Fire in the town of Hope South Dakota 47 leaves way to die and takes his car setting off on the long drive around 10 hours later 47 arrives in Hope Dexter effectively runs the town and all the cops and the sheriff sheriff skurkey are on his payroll meanwhile Dexter and his humongous bodyguard Sanchez meet with birdie birdie tells Dexter that 47 killed his friend Dominic Osmond and birdie offers Dexter his services that to tells birdie that he doesn't need him as he already has Victoria Sanchez is about to dispose of Birdie and Dexter mentions the name Jade he's of course referring to Benjamin Travis's assistant Bodie mentions to Dexter that she is a low-level agency employee Dexter then puts two and two together and realizes that Victoria is connected to the ICA due to Dexter now realizing just how much Victoria is worth he lets birdie live 47 arrives at the bar and after using a Barbara Roller's cover instigated rather bizarrely by Adam Kane Marcus 47 learns of Lenny's location from a bartender 47 who still isn't aware of Birdie's betrayal makes contact with birdie who tells 47 that he's left his silver baller pistols at a gun shop in Hope meanwhile on an ICA yacht in Morocco Jade approaches Travis and shows him something it's from birdie he's offering up 47's location in exchange for a payout from the ICA Travis desperate to catch his man accepts and says that the need to find 47 at any cost arriving at montgomen's gun shop 47 spots his pistols and has to win them back in a shooting competition against the town's best shooter Lily mcgarmund upon winning his pistols back he reads a note from birdie it seems that he's playing both sides he wants the cash from the ICA and for 47 to take care of Dexter black on the ICA yacht it seems that birdie's information checked out as they discover 47 is indeed in Hope kravis orders the ICA to track 47 down Travis tells Jays that it's time to send in the Saints it's time for 47 though to go after Lenny who is hanging out with his gun what Lenny didn't know though was that his gang were planning to steal Victoria from Dexter and sell her to one of Dexter's arms dealing Rivals named stallion armaments their plan doesn't materialize as 47 manages to take out the gang members and drives Lenny into the desert and gets him to reveal where Victoria is he gives up the information and after deciding whether to shoot Lenny or simply leave him to certain death 47 needs to get to an underground age fight being held at Dexter's weapons Factory as Lenny had revealed that Dexter had left Victoria with his bodyguard Sanchez who was himself due to fight Dexter is then informed by a scientist Dr Ashford that Victoria has an unusual biology and that as previously revealed Victoria's abilities can only be activated by a certain necklace with this necklace or rather the isotope within it rejuvenating her cells Dexter finds out virus assistant that his son Lenny has been kidnapped if Furious and tells his assistant to call the ICA and set up a ransom for Victoria and to get Sheriff skurkey who is receiving well some after-hour sentencing to find Lenny 47 infiltrix Dexter's Factory and discovers Dexter's plan for Victoria he takes out Dexter's scientists deleted all the research they had on her 47 then enters the fight and then finds out that Sanchez had stashed Victoria at the courthouse with sheriff skirky and kill Sanchez after a long arduous day a 47 needs some r r to take some rest at the Waikiki Motel 47 is about to meet the Saints they are a side project of Benjamin Travis a group of elite female assassins who dresses let's just say nuns go with God the hotel is attacked and the Saints along with some ICA agents attempt to track down 47 one by one he takes out each and every one of the Saints 47 picks up a phone on the other end Benjamin Travis 47 tells him that he's still alive and that the Saints failed Travis is furious and he decides he needs to handle this himself so he heads to hope 47's next destination is the courthouse he manages to get into the jail underneath the courthouse but is caught up and prepared by Sheriff skirky by prepared I mean prepared for Dexter who arrived to try and torture 47. he demands to know where his son is but 47 Just Smiles Dexter leaves and 47 later left alone escaped captivity he retrieves his gear and escapes from the courthouse just as he is escaping though Travis arrives and his ICA colleague shoots sheriff skurkey in the leg Skokie retreats to a nearby Church being followed by 47 and after he takes the increased hostage in the middle of the funeral service 47 in capacity skirky dying scurkey tells 47 that Dexter was headed to an apartment building called Blackwater Park all the way back in Chicago 47 then takes the hearse and travels there Dexter meets with Travis in his attempt to offload Victoria for the 10 million Ransom fee but Travis being Travis attempts to screw Dexter over this backfires on Travis's Dexter appears to execute Victoria in front of him it's not Victoria though it's skerkey's favorite dominatrix Dexter turns the table and is now demanding the 10 million oil kill Victoria for real Dexter walks away and tells Travis that he'll contact him shortly with Victoria's whereabouts after all that drama 47 joins the party and arrives at Blackwater Park the entire building is under security lockdown even to residents of the apartments so 47 has to infiltrate in order to ascend to the upper floors he enters an elevator and totally out of character 47 alerts Dexter's security team by shooting up the camera in the elevator Dexter's assistant Layla tells him that he should leave with Victoria and that she will stop 47 herself a plan doesn't work as 47 finds Dexter's Panic Room he hears Dexter on the phone he reveals that he's getting Victoria onto a helicopter and that is going to attempt to make more like her then Victoria showcases what makes us so special displaying her abilities and becoming the very thing Diana was trying to save her from 47 makes its way to the helipad and discovers that Dexter is rigging the building or rather his penthouse suite to be destroyed and therefore he hopes he will deal with 47. he manages to reach Dexter Before Time runs out and saves Victoria Dexter is dying and Grieves his son he cries out for his money as that's what he really cares about and a furious Victoria throws money at him 47 and Victoria both leave remember that Diana gave 47 a letter before he killed her here's what is said he if you read this letter I am most likely dead you will have shot me for a traitor and Travis will have won do not let him have the girl as well Travis's division was conducting genetic experiments without the agency's knowledge and Victoria was their crowning achievement give her the choice you never had protect Victoria and kill Benjamin Travis so 47 now needs to kill Travis who as you've just heard has been carrying out Secret side projects away from the watch for live as ICA bosses he's in Cornwall England and he's having Diana's grave exhumed as he doesn't believe that 47 killed Diana like he was supposed to 47 kills Jade along with a trio of Travis's dangerous bodyguards named the praetorians 47 then wounds Travis in an explosion and confronts him Travis is furious that 47 has wasted Victoria's potential to be a top ICA assassin like him Travis asks 47 if he killed Diana tells Travis that he'll never know and then he kills him at the end of the game it's revealed that Diana is very much alive and is caring for Victoria who is herself contemplating getting rid of her necklace 47 watches from a distance finally a Chicago police detective named Cosmo Falconer has been trying to find 47 ever since the Terminus Hotel incident without results but in walks birdie who offers up 47's location for a price the game then ends so we now move on to the world of assassination Trilogy seven years have passed since the events of absolution and 47 and Diana burnwood are once again back in good favor with the ICA the following day 47 is sent on an assignment to Paris to take out Victor novikov along with his girlfriend and business partner Dalia Margolis despite novikov being a Russian oligarch and the owner of a fashion house called sanguine the business he runs with Mark golis is a top secret intelligence agency called Iago Iago ever since 1954 operates auctions around the world at which they sell highly classified information to the global Elite they weren't Allied to any particular side as that would be bad for business it facilitated a nuclear reactor meltdown as the Odessa power plant led by Crimean separatists also remember 47's mission in Chile way back during blood money in which he had to take out Fernando Delgado and his son Manuel well it was Iago that provided the intelligence which allowed them to shoot down the plane of a South American president named president Hernandez in this particular auction though the coveted item up for grabs is a list containing very sensitive information that belongs to MI6 MI6 want this sorted so they hire the ICA to deal with the matter the list is a knock or non-official cover List information on all of mi6's agents that are undercover operating in the Middle East 47's job is to eliminate both novikov and Margolis in order to prevent the list falling into the wrong hands 47 enters the private event as a guest of the fashion show in whichever he chooses to do so he successfully eliminates both nuvikov and Margolis 47's next assignment is the picturesque Italian Village of Sapienza the ICA has received a contract to locate and destroy a virus the virus itself is specific to a certain individual's DNA and is untraceable 47 has to not only destroy the virus but it needs to take out the two doctors working on the virus too these doctors work for The Ether biotech Corporation one of the targets Silvio Caruso used to be a client of the ICA and 47 was actually contracted by him to assassinate a businessman in Sapienza by the name of Marco abiati also on The Hit List in Sapienza is kuruto's assistant Francesca DeSantis who was actually herself sent there by Ether to spy on Caruso Crusoe knows this though and has a sample of desantis's DNA or rather some of her hair in his safe in the Attic not only that but karuso also has a variant of the virus linked to the sanctus's DNA too just in case anyway 47 takes them out enters the laboratory underneath Caruso's Villa destroys the virus and escapes next up the ICA received a contract from a building Contracting firm named Hamilton Lowe a target's marked for assassination are a Swedish banking CEO named Klaus strandberg who had been convicted on many counts of fraud after he stole billions from the population of Morocco through a Ponzi scheme he was traveling in a convoy as a prisoner but a group of heavily armed soldiers attacked the Convoy and in the drama strandberg fled and took Refuge at the Swedish Embassy in Marrakech this leads us to 47's next Target an army General named Razer zidane it's believed that General zedan purposely carried out the attack on the Convoy so it would spark Mass protests and civil unrest in the country he had a motive to impose martial law and stated kureta and overthrow Morocco's government this client in particular Hamilton low had interests inside the Moroccan government so naturally they don't want this coup to take place Agent 47 goes to Marrakech gets to work and assassinates both strandberg and zedan next up 47 travels to Bangkok Thailand he he's arrived at the club 47 hotel to take out a famous rock star Jordan cross along with the family lawyer but what the lawyer Got to Do With It Well one year prior Jordan cross had a party and threw his girlfriend promising actress Hannah Highmore off of his high-rise Penthouse apartment young Jordan got acquitted because he has a rich dad named Thomas cross who hired a defense attorney named Ken Morgan who staged a cover-up the girl's family Furious took out a contract of the ICA and 47 went to the hotel he succeeds in the mission taking out the two Targets with Ruth's precision [Music] one week after the contract in Bangkok 47 meets with Diana at an airport it seems that Thomas cross Jordan's father who is a media Mogul a very powerful man and a recluse had emerged from his self-imposed exile to attend his son's funeral at this funeral Thomas cross was kidnapped and later found dead [Music] Thomas cross had billions in Hidden offshore accounts all stripped clean within hours of the kidnapping someone wanted the sun debt to lure out the father someone smart enough to stay in the shadows while we did the wet work and the Highmore was picked up the check a shadow plant someone got rich the contract was just that was a sound problem I know you don't care about politics 47 but ICA is neutral for his husband can't allow ourselves to be manipulated besides it's happened before Italy Morocco Paris all our clients got their Intel the same way anonymous tips from a hidden Source each contract perfectly legit yet part of a grander design I don't see the pattern somebody does the board has asked us to chase down this Shadow Clyde and our analysts are closing in as we I know that tone [Music] someone's playing a game 47. the question is [Music] in terms of Paris the shadow client knew that Victor novikov was under investigation by the Russian FSB namely an agent called kameroff novikov ordered a hit and the shadow clown had staged it so it looked self-inflicted the shadow client then went to Paris in order to collect his reward which was a list of all the names of the global Elite Shadow client then texted someone and told them to leak their names the names being novikov and Margolis MI6 picked the names up leading to the assassination of both numikov and Margolis in terms of Sapienza the shadow client leaked information regarding the creation of a weaponized virus to one of the ether corporation's private shareholders who then in turn requested a hit on Caruso into Sanctus and of course requested the virus be destroyed on ethical grounds a week after this happened the shadow client followed a man named heyjun from Italy to Johannesburg hey Jin was sent to investigate the destruction of the virus by Ether the shadow client asks for a key heijin hands it over and mentions the name Providence and that they will find the shadow client's weakness the shadow client then executes heijin the shadow client was also the one who leaked information about a possible coup by General zedan in Marrakech leading to Hamilton Lowe taking a contract with the ICA then two days after zadan and strangberg were taken out the shadow client raided a bank vault in New York using the keys came from hey Jun and a man named Cobb one of my people has gone missing in Johannesburg a key Bearer I wish I'd been informed but still the system demands two keys and the rest are all accounted for except for your Elite predecessors comp but his brain went down over the Pacific it was an accident such was the conclusion at the time yes foreign [Music] happens all the time even to us it seems like a conspiracy probably isn't and yet the failed coup in Morocco The Ether someone knows about us there is a pattern and I failed to see it Providence is under its foreign how much was that money the money Mr Fannin information on all other assets and operatives like you take a trench director and make it a deep one because none of you are safe anymore foreign with Bangkok the shadow client facilitated the assassination of Jordan cross as a way to Leo Thomas cross out of hiding the shadow client's militia then facilitated the Abduction of Thomas cross all facilitated by one person well and one other person but let's continue the person that I'm referring to is a young hacker named Olivia Hall ICA followed the trail of information that Olivia sent to their clients and tracked her to a farm in Colorado USA the ICA believed that the shadow client's militia the one that facilitated the kidnapping of Thomas cross are operating out of this Farm there's no client for this contract the request for this Mission had been ordered by the board of the ICA or more specifically ICA director Eric sodas which Diana considers rash and a hasty move by sodas nonetheless they have their orders and 47 is required to infiltrate the farm compound then take out the militia leader Sean Rose who the ICA suspect could be the shadow client himself the next Mossad operative named Ezra Berg the Strategic advisor Penelope Graves and finally the malicious training instructor Maya pavati after taking out all of the targets 47 manages to find a command center what they find in there shocks them Sean Rose was not the shadow client that much is clear whoever commands the militia they got out just in time look around 47 were getting closer some kind of network power players from all sectors familiar faces too Thomas cross strandberg ether and that's missing Banker Eugene Cobb well well there's a name Providence what no no it can't be The Hidden Hand thought they were a myth a hypothesis nothing more the idea that a small cabal of King makers controlling enough corporate and political leaders could effectively Run the World in secret maybe not so hypothetical keep looking 47 we need full disclosure someone's done their homework look how far it dates back hayamoto beldingford Del vade the shadow client has been tracking you for decades now how is that possible it isn't every one of those missions were branded as unsolved or accidents he must have been looking for a pattern a certain Mo which would mean he knows me well at least this shortens the list found something so does but that would mean Providence has infiltrated ice and Eric's sodas is their operative bastard it all fits he was the one who persuaded the rest of the ICA ball to Greenlight this operation this changes everything get out 47 we got what we came for what about the Shadow Clan he is no longer our primary concern ICA has been compromised I always wondered if Providence was real but I never actually I will need to confer with the board but mark my words 47. this will have consequences as 47 leaves the farm he's being watched by the shadow client through the site of a sniper rifle the shadow client is talking to Olivia and she's upset and concerned that her mistakes led to the ICA finding the militia's camp she's concerned that 47 will be coming for her next and asks the shadowcline to kill him brother Shadow client tells her a story about his childhood I ran away as a boy my friend and I away from that place We Came Upon a small farming Community the people were dead poor but this woman she took us in we were awakened the next morning by the shots a dozen people lay face down in the snow at a warden didn't like to leave Witnesses they shot the woman and her family lost they made sure that we watched the whole thing this is your gift the warden told us your gift and your curse touching lives only by ending them you know him better than anyone sound familiar after leaving the farm 47 is headed to Hokkaido in Japan true to Diana's earlier suspicions ICA director Eric sodas was up to something he defected to Providence truth is that sodas is dying he suffers from a condition named situs in versus meaning that his organs are back to front he needs a heart transplant his second one these aren't cheap and so does his skin due to gambling and this is where Providence come in Providence run a fancy Private Hospital in Hokkaido called gamma after the ICA dug into soda's Private Affairs it seems that he's been fast-tracked for critical heart surgery since he can't pay for it the ICA deduce that he's defected to Providence and have greenlit him for termination also joining sodas on The Hit List is a top trial lawyer from Tokyo named Yuki yamazaki it shouldn't surprise you at this point to know that she's a secret Providence operative she is known as a messenger of Providence people they called Heralds basically a middleman between the leader of Providence a person known as the constant and Providence operatives remember hey Jun he was one of these Heralds as was Cobb it's clear that Yuki is there at Gamma to obtain information from sodas in relation to the ICA and that can't happen so Yuki's gotta go whichever way 47 chooses to do it he manages to eliminate both of his targets and leaves the facility just as a side note some people believe that Sodus himself could well be the mystery man from Silent Assassin let me know what you think down below the finale of the game then plays out with Diana on a train Miss burnwood that's not what my dick we received your message loud and clear I might add honestly you could have just sacked the poor guy I didn't catch your name no you didn't there'll be no retaliation not for soders nor any other recent fiascos someone's been meddling in our affairs killing our operatives and making the ice look like fools I think you got close to that someone closer than we've ever been that's why we're having you to take him down I don't think so dreadlock cages Mr burnwood you really have no idea bribe our people and you have the goal to demand our help for a long long time I think we could help each other some 20 years ago your agency took in a young man with no past and extraordinary skills in his own special way he cares about you then vice versa and ever since that time you've never stopped wondering where we came from and who made him what he is some depraved experiment but he's gone now well if you believe the questions died with him we have nothing further to discuss if not as I said I think we could help each other partners then cheer up Miss burnwood we we are the Lesser evil this terrorist he wants nothing but chaos he's only a terrorist if you win it's birdwood won a long time ago this this is maintenance [Music] leading us into the events of Hitman 2 now Diana has managed to convince the ICA to accept the contract offered by Providence for the ICA to eliminate the shadow client and take down his militia using the information 47 found on the malicious Farm in Colorado it managed to track down a key member or said militia a woman named Alma Reynard she was also the girlfriend of Sean Rose 47 infiltrates at beach house in Hawke's Bay New Zealand and uses Alma's computer but doesn't find anything on the shadow client he does however find a message from the CEO of kronstadt Industries Robert Knox was a Providence operative but it seems he's made contact with the shadow client's militia through Alma Reynard 47 is tasked with taking her out and does so Diana contacts 47 and they discuss the client that the hit on Alma Reynard impressed Providence and that they want them to take down the entire militia and the shadow client then 47 asks this a week ago Providence was a threat how did Wing the board the board are practical people 47 a blank check is hard to turn down besides the shadow clients war on Providence is causing a global panic someone will need to stop the militia might as well be us and the man on the train told them about his taking a contract for personal gain is against ICA regulations so does what have been proud is that a sense of humor 47 whatever next crying at the movies why are you doing this I know what it's like to have everything taken from you [Music] claims to know about your past part I'll hurt your memories everything old Maya stole from you and you trust him about as far as I can throw him but this is our best lead in 20 years I say it's time we break a few rules the ICA fired through the data recovered from Alma reynard's computer by 47 and find that their suspicions were correct Robert Knox along with his race car driving daughter Sierra Knox have decided to betray Providence and affect the shadow Clans militia they were worried that the shadow client would Target them next so they cut a deal so to speak given that kronstat Industries developed Next Generation military Tech Providence is concerned that kronstadt will use this military Tech and arm the militia increasing their capacity for more attacks therefore Providence requests that both Robert Knox and Sierra Knox are eliminated the perfect cover for this is the annual Global Innovation race in Miami 47 gets to work and takes out both Rob and Sierra the man from the train then meets with the highest leaders in Providence a group known as the partners they are first concerned that their operatives are being killed but the man from the train calms them Berlin Shanghai we're bleeding operatives Panic is spreading and now we are exiting our own the trainer he would have caused infillable damage we need to fight the sickness not the symptom thank you and I have just the tool for the job right the burnwood woman fact remains we are Shadow Boxing we need to know who we are up against his name is Lucas gray the late Mr Cobb's head of security Cobb was Ground Zero first of our operatives to die Rey is a mercenary a veteran of every Backwater tragedy you've ever ignored on the five o'clock news I couldn't give two shits where he came from I only want to know one thing how does he know about us so now we have a name for the shadow client Lucas Gray I swear to God this hearts and flowers crap will get us both killed your so-called friend is working for them now he's not the man you knew this is his fight too Olivia even if he doesn't realize it like it or not 47 is our last and only lead on the partners he needs to remember and unlike you he won't hesitate just get me inside Rika I need a favor Rico is the nephew of Don Fernando Delgado whom 47 took out along with his son Manuel in Chile Lucas gray was using Rico's drug smuggling operation to transport the militia around the world to carry out their attacks naturally Delgado has made it onto providences [ __ ] list so he needs to be assassinated along with his assistants Andrea Martinez and Jorge Franco A Gifted chemist 47 heads to Colombia and takes all the targets out shortly after this Dinah is now in Surrey England she is a cemetery and tells Providence that the hit in Colombia was successful she visits the grave of someone called James bernward who died at age nine her brother Diana's flashback reveals that her brother died as a result of a leak from a lab for which a company named Blue seed Pharmaceuticals were responsible Diana's parents were taking the company to court blue seed weren't taking this though and had both of her parents killed by a car bomb revealing that Diana is visiting the graves of her mother father and brother we'll cover this in more detail later in the video whilst this is happening Lucas gray is in Johannesburg he's stolen a vial of something from The Ether biotech Corporation we got what we came for move out [Music] Providence then sends 47 to Mumbai India next seems the militia released a hostage tape basically telling the world Providence really does exist remember the hit that Providence referred to in Shanghai well a militia operative known only as the Maelstrom was involved along with two former members of his private gang a bandit named Vanya Shah and a Bollywood film producer named Darwin rangan who has been helping take out Providence operatives in Asia 47 takes out all the targets including the Maelstrom not long after the Mumbai job Diana and 47 get a lead on Lucas gray he bought the burnt out derelict remains of the institute for human betterment in Romania and to the guise of anonymous investor leading 47 right there although remember that 47's memory was wiped by ortmeyer shortly after his Escape so he can't really remember what happened there 47 enters the building foreign [Music] [Music] and even now don't remember this place this was our prison where father trained us shaped us into Killers for Providence you don't remember they ripped it out of you wiped it away but I do I remember everything [Music] [Music] there was an incident that boy he died he lived because of you don't you remember his name you know this deep down you'll know what was his name [Music] subject six your name is subject six and what is our purpose to cake them all down [Music] where we're going to tear it all down The Institute Providence everyone who'd ever hurt us we failed the partners grew paranoid made sure that ortmeyer's children would never challenge them again I'm the only one who got away unchanged the only one left who remembers what Maya was Providence everything he did to us everything he made us do It All Leads back to them the partners hide behind a cloak of anonymity only one man knows their true identities your client the top controller the one they call the constant he is the key but he is untraceable so what am I missing a man would come to the Institute a man with a Providence pin the first constant if we find him if he's still alive he's our way in you don't know who he is but 47 does that's what this reunion is all about 47's memory was erased irreversibly at the time but after ortmeyer's death his estate was acquired by The Ether Corporation and they made an antidote foreign [Music] subject 47 most gifted of all my boys so you're the pick of the litter tell me about the incident subject ran away he and another boy the instigator was punished accordingly as were all the neighbors my men did what needed to be done it won't happen again bring your house in water doctor you won't like the alternative I remember who he is well well ort Meyer was a member of Providence and on top of that 47 is starting to get his Memories Back Lucas Graham 47 are now working together to try and take down Providence 47 remembers who the first Providence constant was a KGB Cold War Defector code named Janus who in 1989 was the man who ordered ortmeyer to wipe all the subject's memories it also appears that when ortmeyer wiped 47's memory as seen in birth of the Hitman he falsely told 47 that he killed his Tormentor subject 6 but obviously that didn't happen at all therefore 47's recollection of six tormenting him and him killing six was actually what 47 was led to believe Diana doctors and ITA report to make it seem that Janus was himself the shadow client and that Lucas gray was just following orders and like clockwork Providence greenlit Janus for termination well Hitman yet another Providence Herald named Nolan Cassidy who was himself on duty when vice president Daniel Morris was assassin donated by 47 way back in 2005. anyway Janus has been living in an idyllic suburb in Vermont in 2004 but is currently under heavy Garden protection ever since the attacks on Providence after taking out the old man along with Nolan Cassidy 47 discovers a clue Janus was planning to meet with the current constant at a party held by a Providence group called The Ark Society this is a survivalist club for the global Elite where in the case of a global disaster the members of the Ark Society will attempt to ensure their survival Janus was their founder and Olivia deduces that the ark Society will probably want to meet in order to pay their respects what's more is that the current constant is a man called Arthur Edwards he's the man that approached Diana on the train at the end of the previous game now although I O interactive released the Ambrose Island mission after Hitman 3 came out it actually happens here in the timeline so after Lucas gray left for Romania he left his militia in the hands of a man named Noel Crest Crest was ordered to cease all attacks on Providence but he didn't he continued them and over the next two months the militia have gone Rogue and joined forces with a pirate Syndicate and they planned to read a ship which is due to pass the island so Crest needs to be taken out 47 also needs to take out one of the Pirates a woman named cine benthan 47 is tasked with destroying a satellite control unit for a satellite linked to The Ether corporation's data very sensitive stuff 47 completes his mission and meets an old friend agent Smith seems to have gotten himself in yet another spot of bother so given that a couple of months have passed they track the coffin and discover that janus's remains were shipped to an obscure island called the Isle of sigale their plan is to infiltrate the event and to take out sister Zoe and Sophia Washington who are the new joint chairwomen of the Ark Society it gets more complicated the constant under orders from the partners of Providence has embedded a poisoned ship in his neck as a Fail-Safe in case he has compromised and both sisters have the kill switch the team's final goal is to extract the constant 47 takes out both sisters preventing them from triggering the constant kill switch and they take him to a ship in the North Sea three families that's all it took the ingrams the carlisles the stuyvesants three dynasties secretly pooling their resources over Generations creating a singularity so dense that nothing escapes its gravity never heard of them well they've heard of you in fact you just became the top of their agenda so now we know the identities of the partners three families with each family having a representative who would be the partner 47 and Lucas gray leave the ship in order to carry out the next part of their plan to take down Providence they're going to go after The Three Families then a shocking reveal he never fails does he he never misses his mark you found a window into his past and yet something else remains hidden a simple truth you learned long ago Diana coming I put off making a section about Diana until this point to learn a big part of Diana's backstory we need to dive back into the birth of the Hitman comic book as we just found out 47 was responsible for the death of Diana's parents as we also know this was due to a pharmaceutical company called Blue seed having Diana's parents assassinated after they threatened to take blue sea down after an accidental poisoning of the water supply which claimed Diana's younger brother James but we can now find out what happened in the gap between this happening and Diana recruiting 47 into the ICA in 1999 so after the assassination 47 and subject 6 Return To The Institute and Diana still in Surrey and living with her extended family Val's revenge on the people who are responsible for the death of her parents she walks the streets at night in the hope of finding some answers and one evening is chased by a couple of thugs leading to her meeting a crime boss called Savvy over time Savvy mentors Diana and eventually Savvy finds a lead an executive from Blue seed Pharmaceuticals Diana tries to interrogate the executive but Savvy bizarrely has the man shot in the head by a sniper before he can tell her anything Diana now needs Savvy out of the way and Money Talks so she pays two of savvy's thugs to help her get rid of her and this eventually ends up in savi's death around four or five years later in 1994 Diana is in University studying psychology over those years she had the most of the blue seat Executives taken care of paying for these hits through taking over savi's gun running business another four years later in 1998 Diana finds another blue seed member but the hit goes wrong she eventually plans to attack the executive's home and does so but is helped by someone from the Shadows remember Eric sodas from the Hokkaido Mission he was a prolific assassin back in the day considered to be the best of his generation it was here that sodas hired Diana to work for the ICA but as a Handler and not an assassin anyway it was also around this time all the way over in Romania that 47 would have his memory wiped Diana is offered a contract to handle on Franklin Marshawn who we discussed earlier as mentioned earlier it's here that they meet for the very first time and then as we know this leads to 47 arriving at the secret ICA facility in 1999 in the Hitman prologue but anyway that's enough for that section let's continue on okay so it seems that we're the capture of the constant the partners had died records falsified in order to try and throw the team off the scent and they're trying to cover their tracks the constant tells the team to follow the money and this thread leads them to an investment bank called Milton Fitzpatrick at which the partners holder counts and the bank manager is a Providence operative named Athena Savalas which needs to be terminated 47 also needs to obtain three hard drives containing the information for all three partners and their new identities after this is a success the data leads the team to an island in the Maldives this paradise is home to a rather Shady operation though a corporation called haven which specializes in helping Rich criminals disappear and gives them new identities 47 goes to the Islanders Tobias Reaper a criminal looking to disappear and takes out the company's CEO Tyson Williams their I.T expert Stephen Bradley and Haven's client coordinator ludmilovatrova Olivia is able to hack into the Haven's servers you found them yeah right here was off you hear all those controlling shares those are basically the backbone of the Providence Empire but they're not going to the new partner identities what do you mean I mean they're allocated to someone else everything is the partners are left with no real control who is Arthur Edwards [Music] foreign everything's going to plan we know where the partners are we have our targets you're almost there old friend good doesn't it we should head out before the storm hits time to fulfill our purpose 47 to take them all continuing on from previous events 47 and Lucas gray head to Dubai all three partners are due to meeting at an event in Dubai's tallest building named the scepter an event is being hosted by Sheikh Omar al-ghazali but as 47 and gray Skydive towards the building a helicopter comes out of nowhere it's Alexa Carlisle one of the partners she has left in a hurry this is because she has found out that Arthur Edwards has not only escaped but is seizing control of Providence and she needs to contain the damage emission Still Remains though as the other two partners are there in the scepter 47 Julie ends their existence after their successful Mission gray makes it clear that he doesn't trust Diana at all he's suspicious about the manner in which the constant was able to escape Olivia has managed to track Alexa Carlisle the final partner to her family's estate in Dartmoor England but they are traveling there Diana takes a call from Arthur Edwards all of it don't be silly I just played the hand I was doubt we'll find you you had me where'd that get you we handed you an Empire you're the best Partners welcome their ways but power is more than just security Providence can be an Agent of Change surely you understand or you will soon enough Alexa Carlisle startled her family when she turned up as they thought she was dead but Carlisle knows that 47 and gray are coming for her she is attempting to stop Edwards taking control of Providence 47 and gray arrive at Carlisle's thornbridge Manor which quite ironically was the birthplace of Providence itself 47 receives a case file on Arthur Edwards and manages to take Alexa out but he unexpectedly loses contact with Diana then 47 here's Lucas gray over his radio foreign [Music] boss wants you alive yeah how about now over here cover me [Music] walk away or what you gonna take us all on don't tell the constant to start running you think you've won 47 is out there and 47 never misses his mark neither do you miss burnwood That's What Makes You valuable you're delusional you think I would betray 47. trust me owe him nothing what is this told you we can help each other and I meant it I look forward to your call gray is gone go to Berlin and stay out of sight so with great dad 47 heads to Berlin as instructed to meet Olivia he sees a dead agent and is contacted by Olivia over the phone they tracked me don't know how it's what they do how many One Prime asset and a whole pack of up and comers they've infiltrated the club searching for us Chris I think one of them get out now before they spot you no they found us once they'll find us again keep your head down I'll take care of this with the ICA agents actively looking for Olivia and 47 47 enters a nearby nightclub and tracks each and every one of the under a cover ICA agents eliminating them all 47 then tells Olivia that she is now safe and goes to meet up with her at a nearby bar you're hurt you should see the other guy or kill nobody before what you did back there you really are all the grace that you'd be 47. he didn't suffer did he he made it count [Music] [Music] Bruce but not broken it's time we start afresh you and me get to the point you and your friends pulled off the impossible form the heavens took down The Untouchables and yet here we are as the next constant you can be the Agent of Change I need to think about it the real question is what will you bring to the table so whilst Edwards is trying to tap up Diana to be the next constant of Providence 47 and Olivia realized that the file he took from thornbridge Manor is pretty much useless it tells them nothing about how to find the constant the ICA are remotely hacking Olivia's files so as a last resort they head to an ICA facility in konjing China which is run by a cyber terrorist called hush their plan is to leak all of the client data along with all previous ICA targets it's a data facility 47 eliminates two Targets Imogen Royce and I say analyst and of course hush himself as 47 needs access to the biometric lock on the facilities data core he then infiltrates the data facility and access to the data tool it's all here clients operatives every hit the ICA ever sanctioned enough to shut them down for good I first need to locate all files referencing Diana and yourself what did it feel like king lives [Music] well we are here training start to do 600 hours [Music] I choose him the two of you go way back I didn't realize it you I get why you want to protect her so by Paul the data referring to the two of you from their system before we publish a rest [Music] good I've set up a link to an information non-profit site when you press that button it's up there and the whole world will know There's No undo 47 will shut the IC down for good you really okay with this it's who you've been for so long turn things to normal no need to alert than we were here prematurely [Music] yours for a little while use the fence to get out go now despite the Trap 47 manages to evade the guards and escapes after Olivia remotely sets the facility on fire the ICA have effectively been destroyed you win so what happens now the balls of your court Miss burnwood I do have other candidates you know most of whom have never tied me to a chair you've seen the news that was 47 acting on his own he is untethered he is Unstoppable and he cannot be bargained with he will find you Mr Edwards and I'm the only chance you've got thing 47 has one weakness me Olivia in forms 47 that Diana is headed to an event hosted by Don Archibald Yates at his Vineyard in Mendoza's Argentina 47 arrives there and immediately meets with Diana in an attempt to find out where her allegiances really lie Diana in forms 47 of her intention to infiltrate Providence and tear it apart from the inside 47 whilst he is at the event needs to help facilitate this by eliminating the top candidate to be the next constant who is Don Yates himself and 47 needs to eliminate ex-cia agent Tamara Vidal who is now a Providence Herald getting these two out of the way will all but guarantee that Diana becomes the next constant 47 after taking out the two Targets meets with Diana and she asks him to meet her by The Olive Grove at sunset how did you know your deal that kind of power always comes with a price what's yours I think you know I am sorry this is a necessary evil what have you done eat the Brown's neurotoxin transfers by touch see Edwards learns by his mistakes 47 and as you've clearly demonstrated brute force is futile it had to be me it was the only way to get this class a family I know what you did after all these years I finally know I am sorry you didn't have a choice I did Providence used you but I'm no better all I saw was a blank slate a weapon to wield I told myself it was what you needed but people aren't meant to be controlled goodbye agent 47 then relives a series of flashbacks in which he's being tormented by Diana's betrayal and his past including what he did to Diana's parents although not really crucial to the storyline per se this is where we get a glimpse into 47 psyche by discovering more about him through the seven deadly sins contracts this is explored through a series of bizarre but cool contracts in which 47 must take out specific Targets in very specific ways anyway gray appears as the voice of reason and 47 starts to realize that he needs to embrace the past similar to what Diana did in Blood Money Diana made it look like she betrayed 47 made it seem like she'd picked aside 47 comes two and is on an operating table somewhere it goes outside and discovers that he's on a guarded train operated by The Ether corporation which is hurtling through the Carpathian Mountains of Romania eventually after a perilous journey through and on top of the train 47 confronts Arthur Edwards we don't suppose there's any point calling for help [Music] seems I brought this up myself well played MIss burnwood do you really think she'll be able to resist all that power power this is not how people work she rejects the power not the responsibility a noble idea but please join me in the real world I trust you already know what this is why not simply take it Embrace who you are always meant to be [Music] no never again well I had to try go on then do your thing now there's three endings available here 47 can choose to Simply kill Edwards inject himself which results in 47's memory being wiped and him waking up back in the Asylum again this is more of an Easter egg ending as Arthur Edwards says the exact same thing as ottmeyer did in codename 47. wake up wake up my friend it's the dawn of a new day about things to do given that Hitman 3 is the latest installment in the story we are yet to see which ending is canonical in terms of Arthur Edward's fate but the most fitting end for me at least is that 47 injects Edward with the serum what are you doing this is what it means to lose everything steak it's mine to make oh forgive me I seem to have uh what were we talking about don't worry we were done 47 then stops and leaves the train walking up into the distance Diana then as promised takes down Providence from the inside and in her cabin she burns the contract which resulted in the death of her parents then an entire year later 47 arrives at Diana's cabin and speaks to her on the phone [Music] that's not who I am anymore The Pact is done the best that and yet [Music] I choose this path because I can there will always be people like them so there will always be People Like Us no one is untouchable it's good to be back the game then ends and that is the entire story of Hitman so far
