Plot: Agent 47 (Ed Skrein) and Diana Burnwood (Charlotte Riley) sit in the
back of a commercial airplane flying west across the Atlantic Ocean.
It's the middle of the night and the rest of the plane is sound asleep.
At a hushed tone, Diana tells 47 that ICA is under the threat of another
organization that has been killing ICA's contractors while out on jobs.
47 asks how that could happen, and Diana admits that she doesn't know
exactly but that it is due to a rival organization known as The
Franchise.
Leland Alexander (Chevy Chase) is in the office of tech-billionaire Daniel Morris (William Baldwin). Alexander asks Morris if he'd like to get into politics. Morris is confused and asks Alexander to elaborate. Alexander says that the VP slot of President Steward's ticket may be out of the ticket soon, and he would like Morris to take his place. Morris agrees, but only because he understands that it would put him one spot away from running the free world.
When their plane lands, Diana says that she has an off the books assignment for him. She tells him that a friend of the agency was sent undercover at a rehabilitation center, but has not reported back. She wants him to recover their friend. 47 is surprised that his contract involves him keeping someone alive for a change. Diana jokes that there's a first time for everything.
Agent 47 easily infiltrates the rehab center in disguise as an orderly and finds Agent Carlton Smith (Will Arnett) heavily medicated and loudly speaking gibberish. She he sees 47, he begins yelling that everyone is in trouble now because the world's greatest assassin has come to rescue him. 47 takes Smith by the arm, telling everyone that clearly this patient needs to be reminded about making commotions, and puts him down in a chair. 47 then sticks a needle into Smith's neck. Smith begins convulsing and foaming at the mouth. Doctors rush over to Smith, but they quickly proclaim he has stopped breathing and his heart has stopped beating. 47 pretends to pull a pill bottle out of Smith's pocket, expressing that he must have taken too many. Smith's body is taken out of the common area and brought into a back room to await the coroner. When the coroner van arrives, 47 wheels the body inside. Smith suddenly wakes up, finding 47 sitting next to him. Diana is driving the coroner's van. Agent Smith gives 47 a hug, and 47 pushes him away.
Diana asks Agent Smith what he learned in the center, and he says that his source inside said that a high level government official is going to be assassinated in New Orleans by The Franchise in order to frame ICA. Diana comments that 47 needs to make sure that doesn't happen or they'll both not only be out of work, but surely the subject of contracts on their own heads. Diana rents a helicopter and the three fly to New Orleans. When they get there they find the city is in the middle of a parade, and sure enough the US Secretary of the Interior is the grand marshal. Diana drops 47 and Smith off on a rooftop and tells them to reconvene there when the mission is over.
47 and Smith are wary once they get on the ground since The Franchise's assassins could be anywhere and they have no way of alerting anyone to danger. Smith tells 47 to get close to the Secretary and protect him, he has an idea how to get everyone's attention. 47 gets right up next to the Secretary's parade float. 47 then sneaks behind one of the Secretary's security guards and replaces him on the float. Smith suddenly starts firing his gun into the air like a maniac. Everyone at the parade scatters. 47 and the security detail quickly usher the Secretary away from the parade, while New Orleans police tackles Agent Smith to the ground. Mark (Sean Patrick Flannery) and Eve (Jamie Clayton), guns in hand, are frustrated by the sudden hysteria. They put their guns away and call their superior, saying that the mission has been blown.
