Synopsis for "Blackout"
An unknown hitman is running through night-time New York City in a modern camouflage suit until he spies his target. Aiming at the car, Mr. Knight appears and knocks him down. The target is General Aliman Lor, a rebel leader from Akima and a suspected war criminal who is in America to speak to the United Nations. As the general flees, the hitman orders his drone to activate an EMP and blacks out the entire city. In the confusion, the hitman runs after him but is hindered first by a police officer and then Mr. Knight again. The hitman claims his mission is in the name of honor and freedom, but Mr. knight is upset that he is endangering his city and innocent people. However, the hitman overpowers him and continues to track down the general.
Mr. Knight catches up with him as they reach a rooftop. He tries to talk the hitman down, appealing to his sense of honor. The soldier explains that he witnessed the war crimes of the general and now seeks justice. He jumps to another rooftop and aims his rifle, but Mr. Knight knocks him out before he can shoot; this isn't justice. Mr. Knight answers the unconscious soldier's phone and finds he is speaking to the person who ordered the hit - his very own psychologist.
