She sents him to Russia to kill the next presidential candidate and tips off the russian police. Sitting in a cell awaiting his execution he realizes that he has been betrayed.

"Assassian Connor Fritzgerald works under the umbrella of the CIA. His family and friends don't know of his double life, so when days before he's due to retire he goes on "One Last Business Trip" which goes wrong, his family is inadvertantly thrown into questioning what he really does do for a living. At the same time, Connor is being sent on a bogus mission, set up by the director of the CIA, presumably with the permission of the White House. In actually, it's a ploy to eliminate Connor, who has, in the Director's view, become a threat to her job."
