Freedom Fighters is the fifth main mission in HITMAN™. It begins with Agent 47 being tasked with the assassination of Sean Rose, Ezra Berg, Penelope Graves and Maya Parvati.
Target(s):
- Sean Rose
- Ezra Berg
- Penelope Graves
- Maya Parvati
Description
After his successful assassination of Jordan Cross and Ken Morgan in Bangkok, Agent 47 is sent to Colorado in the United States of America, to assassinate a group of four people.
The ICA discovers that the Shadow Client's transmissions were sent by Olivia Hall, a hacktivist, from a farm compound in Colorado. The farm houses a training camp for a private militia led by Sean Rose, an eco-terrorist and bombmaker connected to Thomas Cross's kidnapping. Urged by Erich Soders, the ICA board of directors orders an operation targeting Rose, under the assumption that he is the shadow client.
47 is sent to eliminate Rose and three other militia members: Penelope Graves, a criminal profiler who defected from Interpol while investigating Rose; Ezra Berg, an interrogator and former Mossad operative; and Maya Parvati, a combat instructor and former assassin for the Tamil Tigers.
After eliminating all targets, 47 further investigates the shadow client's motivations at Diana's behest. In the camp's command center, 47 finds that the shadow client has tracked 47's past assassinations over several decades, which would not be possible unless the shadow client knew 47's identity. Additionally, key figures from each contract influenced by the shadow client, and many other persons, are labeled as having ties to "Providence", which Diana and 47 recognize as the name of a rumored secret organization of powerful elite that covertly controls world affairs. Finding a picture of Soders, 47 and Diana infer that he has served as Providence's agent in infiltrating the ICA; Diana announces that Soders must now take precedence over pursuing the shadow client.
As 47 leaves the farm, the shadow client observes him through a sniper rifle while speaking to Hall by phone. Urged by Hall to kill 47, he instead tells Hall a story of how as a boy, he and his friend tried to escape from "that place", but were found by their warden, who murdered everyone who had met them during their escape. The shadow client declines to shoot 47, and reveals to Hall that he knows 47 "better than anyone".
Mission Briefing
| The following information may contain spoilers. |
|---|
|
"Good morning, 47. We have a lead on the shadow client. ICA white hats have traced the anonymous data received by our client to one Olivia Hall. Brilliant young hactivist and suspect in a dozen cases of cyber vandalism. Using onion routing with state-of-the-art encryption, Hall went through a lot of trouble to stay untraceable. She is good, but we are better. Her digital trail has led us to a remote farm in Colorado, where satellite footage has revealed what appears to be the training camp for a private militia. Led by an already registered target, Sean Rose, Australian environmental terrorist and explosives expert, wanted for a series of public bombings. Rose was spotted near the scene of Thomas Cross' kidnapping, which makes him our prime suspect for the shadow client. Spurred by Erich Soders, the ICA board of directors has asked us to infiltrate the farm and eliminate Sean Rose along with three other prominent militia members. - Ezra Berg, retired Mossad interrogator. - Penelope Graves, former Interpol anti-terror analyst. - And finally, Maya Parvati, former assassin and gunrunner for the Tamil Tigers. I'll be honest with you, 47. I consider Erich Soders' reasoning hasty and ill-advised. Now, we cannot go against the wish of the board. But we can conduct our own investigation. Whether a direct threat to the ICA or not, we need to know the shadow client's true agenda. I will leave you to prepare."

|---|
|
This is a key for the house basement where Ezra Berg is currently interrogating a prisoner. |
- Command Room
| The following information may contain spoilers. |

This is Penelope Graves' ledger containing her profiling notes on Sean Rose. Apparently, he's got a rather sever case of OCD, nd the ledger describes three recent situations that might be of interest: desk, grandfather clock, and faucet. Rose is unable to medicate himself, as a childhood episode with LSD rendered him hyper-sensetive to drugs of any kind. If you could get your hands on some hallucinogens, Rose could be going on quite a trip, 47. |

When the wearer checks his messages, the battery explodes. There's also a note from one of the hackers explaining that the software trigger is completed and has been installed on one of thir phones. |
- Sean Rose's OCD
| The following information may contain spoilers. |
|---|
|
Sean Rose suffers from OCD and obsesses about order and cleanliness. According to his men, disrupting the layout of his desk, turning off water to his faucet, and off-setting the grandfather clock have all been known to trigger an OCD response. |
- Sean Rose Face Mask
| The following information may contain spoilers. |
|---|
|
A 3D latex mask resembling Sean Rose. This ought to fool the biometric scanner found outside the tornado shelter command room. |
- The Hostage

- The Militia
| The following information may contain spoilers. |
|---|
|
The militia is a motley crew of mercenaries, freedom fighters, intelligence specialists, cyber-criminals and political terrorists like Sean Rose. To unite these faction, the shadow client must have found some kind of common cause. |

|---|
|
According to the militiamen, Sean Rose is only the head of operations. He cannot be the shadow client. Whoever thier top leader is, he is clearly driven, resourceful and immensely capable. This, however, does not change Rose's target status. |

|---|
|
During a training run in the barn, the point man of the militia's strike team was clipped by a battering ram. He is currently recovering at the Orchard Warehouse. |
Opportunities
Doomsday Watch
| The following information may contain spoilers. |
|---|
|
An exploding smartwatch. Rose is nothing if not creative. Fascinating. According to the blueprint, Sean Rose is building an explosive battery unit for a Link 4 smartwatch. The charge appears to be email triggered. The unassuming target checks his messages, the virus triggers the charge, and 'boom'. Very clever, not to mention devious. The resident hackers have installed the software trigger on one of their phones. And here is a punch line: Rose himself wears a Link 4. |
Overpowered
| The following information may contain spoilers. |
|---|
|
So, Sean Rose ordered a batch of explosive gel. What could possibly do wrong? This sounds promising. The militia received a large shipment of nitroglycerin this morning, which is now stored at a munitions depot. Apparently, Rose himself plans to apply and test the gel as soon as a sample is ready. |
Point Man
| The following information may contain spoilers. |
|---|
|
So. There's been a training accident. Well, misery loves company. A battering ram has injured one of the strike team. Point man by the name of Burgess. And according to those militiamen, Maya Parvati likes to oversee training. Sounds promising, I suggest you infiltrate the strike team, 47. Perhaps you can relieve the hapless point man of his duties. |
The Audition
| The following information may contain spoilers. |
|---|
|
Sean Rose is out to perform a small test on Penelope Graves. Hm, maybe you can assist, 47. Penelope Graves is still new to this outfit, and it looks like Rose is going to test her dedication to the cause. He's arranged for one of the communications technicians to act as an outside agent. The tech is supposed to show her an Interpol badge and escort her to the slurry pit, asking her to betray the militia. Might I suggest a last minute recasting, 47. |
Tongue Tied
| The following information may contain spoilers. |
|---|
|
So the legendary Ezra Berg. Sounds like an overdose waiting to happen. Ezra Berg, legendary Mossad operative who specializes in chemical interrogation techniques, is here at the compound to interrogate a prisoner. My notes indicate he's set up a makeshift drug lab in the garage and it looks like he's spending a lot of time in the basement. Could be an opportunity here, 47. |
Unclean
| The following information may contain spoilers. |
|---|
|
Huh, Sean Rose is hypersensitive to hallucinogens. Could be useful. Intriguing. According to Graves' ledger on Sean Rose, he is hypersensitive to the effect of drugs, in particular, hallucinogens. Last time he tried, it triggered a nasty psychotic episode, channeling his fear of germs. Interestingly, the ledger also contains a record of his most recent OCD attack: "desk", "grandfather clock" and "faucet". Hmm. Rose appears to smoke cigarettes when he gets agitated. What if...? |
