Plot: Rick Henderson (Joseph Mazzello) drives his car up a winding road to the Virginia estate of former FBI and CIA Leland Alexander. He gathers his things from his car and is met at the front door by Alexander's personal security guards. They pat Henderson down and search his bag before letting him into the mansion. Henderson walks inside and is immediately impressed by the grandeur of the house. Leland Alexander (Chevy Chase) enters the front entry way on a top of the line electric wheelchair. Alexander greets Henderson and has him follow him to his study where they can do the interview.
Agent 47 (Ed Skrein) is sitting on a yacht looking toward the coast of Chile. Diana Burnwood (Charlotte Riley) comes out of the cabin in a bikini and lounges on a chair next to 47. She asks him to hand her some sunscreen right next to him. 47 looks over at her and hands her the sunscreen. Diana starts telling 47 about the latest contract: Fernando Delgado and his son Manuel Delgado. She says that the elder Delgado has been using his vineyard and winery as a front for a drug operation and somebody wants that to come to an end. 47 asks why the son is part of the contract, and Diana says the client didn't say, but that she assumes the client doesn't want the son to simply step in and take over the operation. With both dead, the operation would be all but dead. Diana turns over on the lounge chair and asks 47 if he can put sunscreen on her back. He agrees, but he appears uncomfortable and not at all used to feeling a woman's body.
At the Delgado Winery, Fernando Delgado (Marco Rodriguez) is on the phone trying to make a deal to make a new branded wine, while Manuel Delgado (Wilmer Valderrama) is off to the side of the room doing mounds of cocaine. Fernando implores his son to lower his volume as he's doing important winery business. Manuel scoffs at his father, loudly proclaiming that the real money is in drugs, not wine. Unbeknownst to them, Agent 47 has made his way onto the grounds and is watching the two of them with binoculars from behind a row or grapes.
Henderson sits in Alexander's study. Alexander tells him that the puff piece Henderson thinks he's been tasked with writing is not the real purpose for him being here. Henderson expresses confusion, and Alexander asks him what he knows about cloning. Henderson references Dolly the sheep, and Alexander begins laughing. He tells Henderson that cloning is much further along than that, and has been around even longer. Henderson begins taking notes. Alexander asks Henderson what he would think if he told him that not only have humans been successfully cloned, but that one of them is arguably the most skilled assassin in the world. Henderson expresses disbelief, saying that it sounds like something out of a bad action movie. Alexander says that sometimes the truth is far stranger than the movies.
Agent 47 starts sneaking closer to the Delgado mansion on the vineyard when he sees a guard in front of him. 47 sneaks up on the guard, slitting his throat with a knife. 47 then picks up the guard's shotgun and continues walking toward the mansion. He enters the building silently and begins looking around. He makes his way down to the wine cellar where he finds Manuel snorting cocaine. Manuel notices him and demands to know who he is. Fernando calls down from the top of the stairs to ask if Manuel is down in the cellar. 47 shoots Manuel with the shotgun, then quickly runs up the stairs. He then shoots Fernando with the shotgun before he can even react to the death of his son. 47 calls Diana, who tells him that he needs to destroy the drugs in the house so that the contract looks drug-related. Agent 47 sets fire to the house and leaves the property.
Alexander begins listing the contracts that Agent 47 has killed. He then tells Henderson that each and every one of those hits were performed by the clone. Henderson cuts to the chase and asks Alexander what exactly he wants done. Alexander says that he wants cloning banned so that there can't be another clone around killing so many people. If cloning had been outlawed worldwide in the first place, the clone assassin could never have been created. He simply wants to make sure that nobody else tries to create such a killing machine.
