Plot: On Election Night, the news reports that Vice President Spaulding Burke
has died in a fiery car crash on his way to a campaign event to
celebrate the victory of the incumbent President Thomas Steward.
President Steward (Matt McCoy) appears on television to announce that it
will take some time for Congress to determine who the new Vice
President is, but that America lost a great patriot with Burke's death.
McCoy then hugs his wife, Paula Steward (Janine Turner), in front of the
cameras. Leland Alexander (Chevy Chase) calls Rick Henderson (Joseph
Mazzello), and asks him to come by his house to continue their talk
since he has some new information he'd like to share with him.
Diana Burnwood (Charlotte Riley) meets with Agent 47 (Ed Skrein) in a cliff side trailer he has been staying in and tells him that all of ICA's contracts have dried up. Nobody wants to hire a company whose contractors are being killed on the job by a rival organization. 47 is surprised that nobody even wants to hire him, given his track record, but Diana tells him that The Franchise has taken all of their business. She says that the company is no more and that the best they can do is kill those who want them dead and split whatever remaining funds there are between the two of them. Agent 47 isn't particularly fond of this plan. He expresses annoyance that ICA went through all kinds of trouble to get him back on the job, and now there doesn't appear to be a job for him to really go about doing.
Agent Carlton Smith (Will Arnett) calls Diana and tells her that word at the CIA is that The Franchise is performing a contract in Las Vegas. He doesn't know who the target is, but that The Franchise's two top assassins have been hired for the contract. Diana tells Smith that she's closing up shop on her end, and Smith says that at the very least 47 may be interested in taking out the competition. Diana tells Smith that she'll pass along the information to him. When she tells 47 what Smith informed her of, 47 immediately starts packing a bag for Las Vegas. Diana tells 47 that due to the state of ICA, she's not going to be able to give him the support of any of the organization's resources. 47 says he understands and leaves.
Agent 47 arrives in Las Vegas and heads to his destination, a masquerade party at the Shark Club. He steals a plain black domino mask from one of the other guests and heads onto the dance floor. He scans his surroundings for anything out of the ordinary. While everyone else in the club is dancing and drinking, he notices a man and a woman up on a balcony standing and staring out at the dance floor. 47 decides to head up the stairs to the balcony to investigate. When he gets to the balcony, the couple are no longer there. As 47 is turning around leave, he is attacked by Mark (Sean Patrick Flannery) and Eve (Jamie Clayton). They team up to knock 47 off the balcony. 47 manages to grab hold of a string of lights and land safely on the ground. He heads back up the staircase and attacks Mark and Eve as they are running down them. The fight spreads into the club's kitchen. Agent 47 manages to stab Mark in the chest with an ice pick. Eve then pulls out her gun and starts shooting. 47 uses Mark's body as a human shield, and then uses Mark's gun to shoot Eve dead. Agent 47 takes a look at the bodies of the two assassins and discovers bar codes on each of their wrists. 47 immediately calls Diana and tells her that they were clones. 47 turns back before he leaves and discovers that Mark's body has vanished.
Diana is sitting in 47's trailer when heavily-armed security personnel enter the trailer. They are followed by Leland Alexander. He tells her that a woman of her skill and know how should not be tethered to a dying organization like ICA. He offers her a special role of power and influence within The Franchise. Diana asks if it is really a job offer or more of a threat. Alexander says that he is certainly not threatening her, but that it would be very advantageous for her health to accept The Franchise's offer. She asks what the catch is, and he tells her that he needs Agent 47's genetic material in order to perfect the cloning process. All evidence of Dr. Ort-Meyer's work has been destroyed without a trace - Agent 47's DNA is seemingly the only way to get it all right. Diana asks Alexander if she has any time to think about her decision, and Alexander tells her not long. Alexander then leaves with his security and is helped onto a helicopter.
Back at his house, Leland Alexander is watching television as the US Congress announces that Daniel Morris (William Baldwin) has been appointed as the new Vice President under President Thomas Steward. He smiles slyly as Henderson is led into his study by his security detail. Alexander comments that it is quite a crazy time to be alive. Henderson simply nods his head and take a seat. Henderson then asks what new information Alexander has for him. Alexander says that the clone assassin known as Agent 47 was responsible for the death of the Vice President as well as the attempt on the life of the US Secretary of the Interior. He proclaims that the legalization of cloning is to blame and suggests that Henderson help him ban cloning so that deaths like VP Spaulding's can be avoided in the future.
