A Premature Retirement for Both Parties

>Welcome to New Mexico, 47. Your target, renowned kinematographer Halyna Hutchins, can be found on set preparing the daily shoot for the day. With famous actor Alec Baldwin at the helm of production, you should expect a heightened and more observant security presence, but certainly nothing you haven't handled before. Good luck, 47. >THAT... is Halyna Hutchins, acclaimed director of photography, and covert operative for Providence. Stay sharp, 47. >Choosing a prop gun to incriminate the lead actor? Interesting choice as always, 47. Alas, I dare say a premature retirement for both parties is in order. >The target is down, and not even by your own hand! Excellent work, 47. The money is being transferred now, it's time to make your exit... stage left.

A 4chan-style greentext imagines Agent 47 being assigned to assassinate cinematographer Halyna Hutchins on the set of a film starring Alec Baldwin. The joke references the real 2021 on-set shooting, framing it as an elaborate Hitman mission in which the prop gun kills the target and implicates Baldwin. It is used as a dark, absurd reaction to discussions of the incident or unexpectedly convoluted assassination scenarios.
