Requiem

Diana
May 15, 2023

Tracked by enemy operatives and law enforcement, 47 goes to his hideout, where he is abruptly visited by Diana who proposes a plan to help them escape The Franchise. 47 reads the briefing he is given, but does not agree to the plan. While he is distracted, Diana injects him with a syringe. After a brief struggle, 47 succumbs to the serum and collapses, apparently dead. Diana leaves the site as a SWAT team moves in.

Alexander Leland Cayne welcomes Diana into The Franchise, where she becomes Cayne's personal nurse. Together with reporter Rick Henderson, they attend 47's funeral, held at a modern church in an undisclosed location in the USA. While Cayne and Henderson are discussing 47's fate Diana quietly approaches 47's body, retrieves his Silverballers from her handbag, and places them on his chest. She applies her lipstick and kisses him on the lips - which applies the antidote for the fake-death serum she injected him with. Diana leaves the church as the funeral begins, apparently locking the gates behind her.

Outcome

Requiem has two possible endings based on the player's actions at the start of the mission.

  • If the player presses the controls and increases 47's heart rate:

47 awakens moments before his own cremation and eliminates all 14 witnesses, including Cayne and Henderson. Following the massacre he escapes the chapel and continues working as a hitman for the ICA, which has reformed following the elimination of The Franchise.

  • If the player does not revive 47 in time:

47's altar is lowered into the crematorium and he dies, forever eliminating any chance of a functional clone being produced. This ending is non-canon, as 47 reappears in Hitman: Absolution which is set after the events of this mission.
