‘The Gray Man’ Ending Explained: Why did Gentry abort the mission?
So, Gentry is actually a criminal who was put into jail for doing something diabolical. However, a CIA veteran named Donald Fitzroy (Billy Bob Thornton) recruited him to be a part of the Sierra program because he has the skills and would be out of prison. For many years, he was working with the CIA, but everything changes when Fitzroy retires. A new chief named Denny Carmichael (Rege-Jean Page) is against the Sierra program and wants it to end.
Gentry was given a task to kill a person who had some sensitive information regarding national security. But he couldn’t do it because the place was filled with a lot of people, including children, and made a new plan to draw the target out to a secluded place. When they meet each other, the target tells him that he is Sierra Four and he knows how evil Carmichael is. He tells Court that Carmichael wants him dead because he has something about him that could ruin his life.
He gives Court a pendant in which he has a “chip” that stores all the info. Sierra Four dies and Court lies to Carmichael that he didn’t get anything from Sierra Four.
In the process, Court also meets another secret agent named Dani Miranda (Ana de Armas).

Hansen is known for his illegal methods to get out the truth from someone’s mouth or get people down to their knees. While going behind Gentry, they all reach Prague and chaos ensues. The police are behind Gentry as well because of a bomb explosion that just took place inside a house. As soon as the police take him into custody, Hansen orders his men to get him and kill him as soon as they see him. Police didn’t know anything about the plan and Hansen’s men start shooting at anyone and everyone that’s present at the scene.
Police try to bring them down, but it’s too hard because they have more advanced versions of weapons. The SWAT team arrives and it’s havoc out there. Hansen orders his men to shoot Gentry and whoever does that will get an additional prize of $10 million. Suzanne Brewers (Jessica Henwick), a member of the CIA and the person to who Hansen reports, is shocked after seeing what’s happening and tries to stop this massacre.
Hansen doesn’t stop, but Court manages to free himself and run away. An epic chase sequence sees Gentry and Hensen meeting for the first time. When Hansen thought he had Gentry, he gets hit by a dark that paralyzes him temporarily and it was hit by Miranda.

He, along with Miranda, enters the premises and wreaks havoc. Miranda distracts everyone by shooting out rockets at the building and killing a lot of people. Meanwhile, Court enters the building and finally reunites with Claire. Hansen understands that Miranda is trying to distract them and gets back into the house. As soon as he reaches the room, he sees Claire and Donald are not there.
