Plot: As soon as he gets off the plane in St. Petersberg, Russia, Agent 47 (Ed Skrein) receives a call from his handler Diana Burnwood (Charlotte Riley). She apologizes for 47's lack of luck at the mansion. She says it's hard to tell where Father Vittorio was taken after the mansion and they lost track of him at the airport. The Agency believes they have fulfilled their side of the deal and expect 47 to complete a minor assignment in St. Petersberg. She goes on to tell 47 that his mission is to take out an ex-KGB general in a secret meeting. 47 asks who the general will be meeting with, but Diana says that nobody knows exactly.

Agent 47 arrives outside of the meeting at the Kirov Park where he observes two Generals, General Makarov (Vladimir Mashkov) and General Bardachenko (Vladimir Kulich), and an unknown third man (Grigory Dobrygin) sitting talking along a path. Agent 47 calls Diana to confirm which of the two generals he is supposed to kill. He sends her a picture of the three men to help clarify the matter. She isn't sure which of them is the target at first. The meeting begins to end and 47 tells Diana to hurry up and point out the target.

The meeting ends and the three men all head their separate ways. Diana finally tells him to kill General Makarov, but tells him to do it while the General is alone as the third man is a mafia figure, Igor Kobasko. Agent 47 follows Makarov away from the meeting and stabs him in the throat from behind. Suddenly, 47 is attacked by Kobasko. Agent 47 struggles with the sneak attack, but manages to overpower Kobaska and begins beating him to a pulp.

Agent 47 calls Diana to tell him its done, but she gives him bad news. The client wants General Bardachenko killed as well, and that the contract will not be considered fulfilled until he is. Agent 47 is livid. Diana tells him that they have information that Bardachenko is interrogating people in the basement of the military facilities just off Nevsky Prospekt. 47 will be able to find and eliminate the target there.

Agent 47 makes his way into the military facility in disguise as a Russian soldier. 47 makes his way through the multi-level maze of corridors of the Soviet era facility. He comes across the sound of someone being beaten behind a door. He knocks on the door and asks for the general. Bardachenko answers the door and Agent 47 immediately shoots him in the head with a silenced pistol. Bardachenko's body hits the ground. A voice from inside begs 47 not to kill him. Agent 47 enters the room and finds a beaten and bloodied Agent Carlton Smith (Will Arnett) tied to a chair. Agent Smith expresses relief at the sight of Agent 47, who rolls his eyes and releases Agent Smith from his ties. Agent 47 asks Smith if he's ever considered not getting captured by the bad guys. Agent Smith doesn't have an answer. Agent 47 starts walking away and calls Diana.
