The Stowaway is the seventh, and last, Elusive Target Mission in HITMAN™ 2, and the thirty-third overall, and tasks you with eliminating Jimmy Chen and retrieving his Dictaphone.
The Stowaway[]
Diana Burnwood (VO): "Good evening, 47. The target is Jimmy Chen; a cynical tabloid journalist, who will literally kill for a good story.
A failed actor who became an internet sensation, the target has made a name for himself in online journalism by creating fake stories and sensational headlines. When taking on a pharmaceutical conglomerate, Chen obtained evidence that the company was withholding damaging data on an anti-depressant. Instead of going public, Chen sat on the material for a year until a sudden wave of suicides gave him the sales hook he needed. Our client's sister jumped in front of a train and they hold Chen accountable. We have intercepted information suggesting Jimmy Chen is currently researching a secret society for a U. S. tabloid magazine.
Good Luck 47."
