One last tango, 47.

Dubai

  • Marcus Stuyvesant reuniting with his daughter after faking his death. Even if he did try to recruit her into Providence, it’s clear he loves her deeply and vice versa.

Dartmoor

  • Under interrogation, Edward mentions that he believes that his brother Gregory accompanied him to the pub out of concern for him.
  • After the family photoshoot, Rebecca may speak to and comfort Edward, telling him he's an intelligent, talented man who shouldn't beg for their mother's approval. If she is fully interrogated, she will end off by requesting that 47!Whitmer to be kind to Edward.
  • In an extremely twisted way, 47 driving Alexa to suicide by revealing that her murder of Montgomery was All for Nothing and lying that her brother Zachary committed suicide out of guilt. While driving someone to suicide is a horrid thing to do, Alexa got to end her life on her own terms, rather than getting a nasty, painful and terrifying surprise in the form of an electrocution or a garrotte around her throat. If you request money instead of the file, she'll never even know that 47 infiltrated her manor.

Berlin

  • After Lucas Grey kills himself during an ICA ambush, 47 pays tribute to him by wearing his duster coat in the next level, the outfit even being named "Number Six".
  • Non-target kills still give the usual score penalty, despite 47 having gone rogue. This suggests 47 avoids needless deaths for more benign reasons than "better payment" or "less to cover up". Granted, the presence of the usual "no evidence" rules suggests it may be out if habit or just professionalism, but the implication is there.
  • In a cutscene at the end of the level, 47 meets Olivia and she asks him if Grey suffered at all during his final moments. 47 responds with probably the only kind of comfort he can think appropriate:
    47: "He made it count".

Chongqing

  • In the default non-story starting location, 47 starts off looking out at the city, with a woman smoking beside him, waiting for a friend of hers. This interaction, unusually for Hitman, starts the moment the level does, and you get to listen to the woman talks about her going out for drinks with her friend, how she hasn't shown up yet and starts worrying that they have grown apart. 47, rather than just ignoring her and starting his mission, 47 offers some comforting words that she’s likely just running late, and says that her friend agreeing to meet her out in the rain in the middle of the night must mean she still cares about her. And when she says that they feel terrible for inviting her out in such awful weather, he then offers a suggestion to cover the round of drinks as an apology. Nice to see that he would take his time out to converse with someone that isn't mission-relevant.
    • This dialogue will also trigger if you go up to her mid-mission and manually blend in. They also appear in "The Pride Profusion", "The Gluttony Gobble", as well as Freelancer too.
  • If Jeremy Bolt is fired, he calls his supportive mother and she encourages him to talk to his friend, one of the target's bodyguard. The bodyguard is weirded out by this, but helps out in his time of need.

Mendoza

  • 47 can choose to exit the mission by tangoing with Diana.
  • The Heartbreaker elusive target features Michelle Pacheco and Phoebe Morris, a recently engaged couple planning their wedding in Mendoza. Michelle dreamily reminisces their first date together and gushes over Viñedo Yates' aesthetic, and while Phoebe is more uptight and less impressed, it is clear the two love each other.
    • After the rather unfortunate depiction of LGBT people in the previous games, seeing a couple who are neither demonised or sexualised is refreshing.
    • 47 can retrieve Newcombe's scrapbook and give it to Phoebe and Michelle, warning them away from him. The two comfort each other as they flee.

Carpathian Mountains

  • At his lowest moment, as he’s haunted by visions of his murders and his handler's betrayal, 47 is paid a visit by a vision of Lucas Grey, who encourages him to accept his past and embrace the future, and Diana reveals that she never did betray 47. Cue 47 waking up and kicking ass on a train riding through the wintery tundra.
  • After all the pain and heartbreak they go through, 47 and Diana both survive the events of the game. A year later and 47 speaks to Diana over the phone about work, a slight smile starting to form on his face.
