Providence is Under Attack is the seventh cinematic in the main story of HITMAN™. It follows the mission A Gilded Cage, and the cinematic is set in November 2019.
Summary[]
Two days after an attempted coup d'etat was thwarted in Marrakesh, Morocco, Providence Constant Arthur Edwards meets with new Milton-Fitzpatrick CEO and Herald, Alexander Fanin, at the Providence Archive in New York to discuss recent events. Edwards deduces that Providence and its operatives have been compromised; his suspicions are confirmed when both men unlock the archive only to find it ransacked.
Transcript[]
Arthur Edwards and his colleague Alexander Fanin walk down a hallway.
Fanin: "Compromised? But...I don't understand. There is no sign of forced entry. No alarms. Nothing."
Edwards: "One of my people has gone missing in Johannesburg. A key-bearer."
The two men approach a heavy vault door.
Edwards: "Except for your late predecessor's."
Fanin: "Cobb? But...his plane went down over the Pacific. It was an accident."
Edwards: "Such was the conclusion at the time, yes."
Edwards and Fanin insert their keys into the door simultaneously and watch it slowly open.
Edwards: "People die, Mr. Fanin. It happens all the time, even to us. If it seems like a conspiracy, it probably isn't. And yet...the failed coup in Morocco. The Ether virus. Someone knows about us. There was a pattern, and I failed to see it. Providence is under attack."
Fanin: "How much was there?"
Edwards: "Money? Not money, Mr. Fanin. Information. On all of our assets and operatives. Like you."
Fanin scowls.
Edwards: "Dig a trench, Director."
Edwards walks away.
Edwards (CONT'D): "And make it a deep one. Because none of you are safe anymore."
As Edwards takes a call, Fanin can only stare in bewilderment at the interior of the ransacked vault.Gallery[]
