About Me
Agent 47 has been educated to become a professional assassin for hire, whose most powerful weapons are his nerve and a resolute pride in his work. 47 is both the last two digits of the barcode tattooed on the nape of his neck, and his only name.The hunter becomes the hunted when 47 gets caught up in a political takeover. Both Interpol and the Russian military chase the Hitman across Eastern Europe as he tries to find out who set him up and why they're trying to take him out of the game. But the greatest threat to 47's survival may be the stirrings of his conscience and the unfamiliar emotions aroused in him by a beautiful, damaged girl...Agent 47's training and upbringing. Interpol agent Mike Whittier discovers Agent 47 in his study, where the two talk briefly. The scene flashes back 3 months, as 47 is completing a hit in St. Petersburg, Russia. He receives a communication from his Organization contact, Diana, and is told he is to kill his next target, Russian President Mikhail Belicoff, publicly.47 succeeds in killing Belicoff using a sniper rifle to achieve a head shot from over 4 km away. However, when 47 returns to his hotel room, he's told there's a witness - Nika Boronina - he has to kill. Confronting Nika on a street, he doesn't kill her as he realizes she's never seen him before. Additionally, Belicoff's death was covered up, being portrayed in the media as a grazing wound.47 confronts Diana about who would want Nika dead when she wasn't a witness and why Belicoff is still being portrayed as alive. Outside, Mike Whittier and his partner have been tipped off that 47 is in the hotel. They encounter the FSB, lead by Yuri Marklov, who sends in an emergency response team to capture 47. Diana calls 47 directly, informing him that it was Belicoff himself who took out the contract. The troops attack and a hotel battle ensues. 47 successfully escapes, however, the Organization he works for has dispatched assassins to kill him for failing his mission.47 kidnaps Nika - who was about to be killed by her driver - and questions her. She suggests 47 may have killed one of Belicoff's double, but 47 denies that possibility. The two try to leave by train, but are intercepted by the Organization's assassins. 47 is able to defeat 4 of them in combat, defeats Mike Whittier who pursued, and escapes with Nika.47 arranges a meeting with Agent Smith from the CIA. 47 makes a deal: if Smith helps him sometime in the future, 47 will kill Belicoff's brother, Udre, a slave trafficker, and arms dealer. Smith accepts the deal. 47 and Nika travel to Turkey, where he succeeds in killing Udre.The death of Udre was a setup designed to draw Belicoff's double - who, working with Yuri and an unseen cabal, is part of a plot to have a puppet leader in control of Russia - into the open. 47 kidnaps Yuri and forces him to have his own FSB agents try to shoot "Belicoff" as he delivers a eulogy for Udre. 47, disguised as a soldier, takes the double and kills him in the church. He then allows himself to be taken into custody by Interpol and Mike Whittier. However, Agent Smith intercedes at the last minute, allowing 47 to escape.a
