The Hippo's speech (especially the second half) is a reference to writer William S. Burroughs, who once wrote about a dreamlike world called Interzone and an addiction to bug powder.

[@redhood7650]

I think the first was to do with Diana as when the wine is poured,Diana is meant to die but she doesn't

[@totalcreativegaming6681]

Well, yeah the wine is poured could be a reference to that, or it might just be foreshadowing for the The Farewell mission... as it’s set in Vineyard and Winery.

On the Dubai Map, when you first enter the building through the vent, inside the room just before you walk through the blue curtains, you can find a stack of boxes in the corner of the room. One of the boxes has a bunch of 1s and 0s on it. If you put this in a binary translator it says, "Help me I am trapped inside a cardboard box"

The 1993 reference is most likely a nod to the movie "Fire in the Sky", which came out in 1993 and featured a similar abduction. The posture of 47 even resembles the character's in the movie.

It is a reference to X-Files

[@Kiwijr2579]

8:46 I'm not sure why that surprises you. 47 is a good person. He does have a heart, he just doesn't show it much because he's not good with emotions. Most if not all of his targets are bad people, from murderers to drug dealers. Absolution is seen by many as the worst game of the franchise, but there you can see how far 47 is capable of getting to help one of his few friends. He made the impossible to make sure Victoria had the choice he never had, have a normal life or an assassin life.

[@Chris_Cross]

When 47 doesn't say "Nice" when he enters "69" into the keypad: "My disappointment is immeasurable and my day is ruined."
