Grey stands on the edge of a ship at port, looking towards a rocky beach, and buildings beyond.
Grey (CONT'D): "In the shadows. Behind the everyday world. Beyond the headlines and the seats of power. A hidden hand."
Agent 47 and Grey enter a van parked in the sand; Grey drives while 47 sits shotgun.
Grey (VO): "A kind of company, known as...Providence."
The van speeds through a desert canyon.
Grey (CONT'D): "To it, we were just assets. To use and throw away. To do the unthinkable--the unforgivable--and it never gave us a second thought, until now."
At nightfall, the men sneak around the border to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.
Grey (VO): "After decades in the shadows, we are fighting back. Me and 47."
They hail a vehicle in the dusty desert and eventually, cross over the dunes by foot.
Grey (CONT'D): "Much has been lost. But we are closer than ever. We trapped the Constant, Providence's Chief Controller, and finally learnt the names of its three partners."
They crest a ridge overlooking an oil facility as a plane flies low nearby.
Grey (VO): "In their downfall, we lay the past to rest."
Moments later, 47 and Grey stand in the cargo bay of the plane, now wearing skydiving suits.
Grey (CONT'D): "And just maybe, look towards the future..."
The ramp lowers, exposing the men to the air.
Grey (COM): "47. It's time."
In the distance, rising above the clouds, lies their destination: the Burj Al-Ghazali tower.
HITMAN™ III / HITMAN™ III VR: RELOADED
They HALO jump out of the back of the plane, free falling.
Grey (COM): "The Partners are down there. You know, I never planned this far ahead."
Agent 47 (COM): "You never do."
Grey (COM): "I see someone got his memory back. Wait, is that a beacon--"
A flashing red light grows brighter through the clouds beneath them--a helicopter bursts forth, and the two narrowly dodge its rotors. They correct their flight.
Grey (COM): "What the hell? Base. Alexa Carlisle's helicopter just took off. Confirm target locations, over."
47 deploys his parachute and floats down onto the building.
Diana (CONT'D): "Carlisle has left the building...And I think I know why."
Hanging on for dear life, 47 watches his detached parachute sail away far below him.
Diana Burnwood (VO): "The Constant has escaped. He persuaded one of the sailors into setting him free and since then he’s been seizing control of Providence assets and resources. I can only assume Carlisle is rushing to contain the damage."
Diana (VO): "We’ll keep track of her. Make sure she doesn’t. Meanwhile, the plan stays the same. Your destination is The Sceptre; the world’s tallest building where the Partners are laying low, courtesy of their host sheikh Omar al-Ghazali. Marcus Stuyvesant is fifth generation old money. His family made its fortune in real estate and banking and were at one point the chief landowners in New York.
Carl Ingram is a powerful Washington kingmaker whose family grew rich selling gunpowder during the American Civil War and later established a globe-spanning empire in oil, coal and steel. Both families long since retreated from public view but their quiet dominance endures to this day.
Now, the Partners likely suspect that we’re coming. So Mr. Grey will infiltrate building controls and disable all electronic doors and elevators. Stuyvesant and Ingram are about to find they have nowhere left to run."
Grey (VO): "Right. This is our moment, 47. Providence ruined our lives with the flick of a pen. Today...we return the favor. Happy hunting."
As 47 and Grey skydive toward the building's top floors, they witness Alexa Carlisle hastily leaving the building. Diana suspects the reason is due to The Constant, who has been seizing Providence resources since his escape from captivity.
While Diana tracks Carlisle, 47 and Grey continue their mission to infiltrate the Burj Al-Ghazali to eliminate the remaining Partners: Carl Ingram and Marcus Stuyvesant.

When Ingram and Stuyvesant go into lockdown the guards will escort them to the helipad, but since the pilot has lost his keys, they will then be directed to put on skydiving suits from near the penthouse's main entrance and head to the golfing balcony, where they both jump off the building and deploy their parachutes. 47 will have 20 seconds to eliminate them at this point, and if he fails to do so, the mission is failed. The parachutes themselves can be sabotaged beforehand with a kitchen knife or other sharp object.
Trivia[]
The mission begins with several unusable elevators throughout the level. The player can hack the computer server and open the doors, allowing 47 to climb inside the elevator shafts. The doors will remain open in future replays of the mission.
Sebastian Sato from the mission Showstopper is found wandering around the cloud bar with a new orange suit which suggests he canonically survived the mission.
During the end of the Story Mission "How the Mighty Fall.", if 47 interrupts Lucas Grey's monologue to Carl Ingram and Marcus Stuyvesant by killing either one of them, Grey will stop his speech and remark about the anti climactic end of the two Providence Leaders.
When drowning someone in one of the many electric toilets scattered around the level, after the person has been killed the toilet will attempt to analyze what has been put into its bowl, with one of its remarks humorously stating "I am in doubt if you are actually human."
In the Storage Room right outside of the Server Room, there is a white board with a sticky note that says "Talk to Allan for Details!", this is an on going joke in the Hitman games starting from Hitman: Blood Money where an item called the "Kitchen Crate Holster." Use to hide weapons and illegal items would reveal that the in game description for it was not finished and that a developer had left a note in place of the description simply saying "Allan please add details".
During Lucas Grey's speech to the partners, Carl Ingram lists some of the Providence operatives who's deaths were directly or indirectly caused by Grey. Strangely, he names Viktor Novikov from The Showstopper among them, despite the fact that Novikov had no affiliation with Providence. On the contrary, Lucas Grey was able to enact his assault on Providence thanks to information given to him by Novikov.
One of the sticky notes on the same white board as before has the sentence "Just another guy who saw too many movies as a child", another note found around the levels many white boards has the words "Welcome to the party pal..." written on it, both of these notes are a reference to the classic 1988 movie "Die Hard". The former line is spoken by the film's villain as he is taunting the hero, while the latter is spoken by the protagonist.
It's possible these two references were made due to the movie taking place mostly on a sky scraper, as in the case of the Dubai level.
Another Sticky note found in the level's white boards has the words "Al or Din? Laddie?" Written on it, which is a direct reference to a line of dialog spoken by Robbin Williams acting as the Genie from the 1992 Disney animated movie "Aladdin".
When exiting through the main elevator in the atrium, there is an occasional glitch where the player's character will not be seen inside, and instead only an empty elevator will be shown.
The Elite Guard uniforms in the Cinematic Gameplay Trailer (see above) are greatly different from the ones seen in the final game.
In HITMAN™ III VR: RELOADED, the black HITMAN™ III logo was replaced with the HITMAN™ III VR: RELOADED logo. Furthermore, some footage from the original game's briefing cutscene, most notably the target's information, was included.
Somewhat oddly, and possibly due to an oversight, it is illegal to use the tower's access card on a door card reader while wearing the Event Security uniform, even though the uniform grants access to the room itself.
