[SPEAKER_00] I'm going to tell her. [SPEAKER_00] We need more speed. [SPEAKER_00] Loose the sails. [SPEAKER_00] Haytham, you take the foremast. [SPEAKER_00] James, to the mainmast with you. [SPEAKER_00] See [SPEAKER_03] Slipping! [SPEAKER_03] Oh, oh, oh, thank you, thank you. [SPEAKER_00] It's really not going to work. [SPEAKER_06] Make ready for our arrival, men! [SPEAKER_03] Arrival? I see no land, only this interminable fog. [SPEAKER_06] The gulls tell us all we need to know. [SPEAKER_06] Climb into the crow's nest and you'll see. [SPEAKER_01] Master Kenway! Master Kenway! [SPEAKER_03] Yes, may I help you? [SPEAKER_01] Charles Lee, sir. [SPEAKER_01] a pleasure to make your acquaintance i've been asked to introduce you to the city help you [SPEAKER_01] settle it oh no need sir i've arranged for your bags to be delivered to the inn [SPEAKER_03] are you by any chance john and isabella's son [SPEAKER_00] take from the shilling [SPEAKER_00] were you trod upon by some reckless loud form [SPEAKER_01] One and the same. [SPEAKER_03] Your commission is with Edward Braddock, is it not? [SPEAKER_01] Aye. [SPEAKER_01] But he's yet to reach America, and I figured I might... [SPEAKER_01] Well, at least until he arrives, I thought... [SPEAKER_03] Yes? Out with it? [SPEAKER_01] Forgive me, sir. [SPEAKER_00] I had... [SPEAKER_01] I had hoped that I might study under you. [SPEAKER_01] If I am to serve the Order, I can imagine no better mentor than yourself. [SPEAKER_03] Kind of you to say. [SPEAKER_03] But I think you overestimate me. [SPEAKER_01] Impossible! [SPEAKER_01] this way Boston's quite a lively city there's all manner of things to see and [SPEAKER_01] do once you've settled in I suggest you take some time to walk the streets [SPEAKER_01] knows what opportunities you might discover. Hold a moment. I need to fetch a few things [SPEAKER_01] before we get to work. I'll arrange for horses while you do that. [SPEAKER_05] This accursed city will be the death of me. [SPEAKER_03] You seem troubled, friend. [SPEAKER_05] That's because I am. Greatly so, in fact. [SPEAKER_03] What's happened? [SPEAKER_05] I was robbed. The old Balkan file. [SPEAKER_05] Though I've managed to restore what's mine, I fear it's ruined. [SPEAKER_03] You mean the book? [SPEAKER_05] This is no ordinary book. It's an almanac. The first I ever wrote. [SPEAKER_05] Benjamin Franklin. Pleased to meet you. [SPEAKER_05] Hatham Kenway. You must be new to Boston. Why do you say that? [SPEAKER_05] still possessed of virtue to stop and help an old lout like myself I I don't [SPEAKER_05] mean to impose but you seem a spry fellow should you happen to find my [SPEAKER_05] missing pages I'll reward you look I'm not sure if I've it's all right all [SPEAKER_05] right if you have the time hurrah if not no Honda the thing is useless in its [SPEAKER_05] current state anyway but should you somehow manage to restore it [SPEAKER_03] you'll find me inside that general store over there well that was interesting good to see you [SPEAKER_03] my friend [SPEAKER_02] This blade is useful to settle matters quickly and effective when close combat occurs. [SPEAKER_02] Its noiseless approach makes it reliable under any weather. [SPEAKER_02] There, this flintlock pistol has a better accuracy at short range, and is thus less [SPEAKER_02] powerful than the flintlock. [SPEAKER_02] However, it's more comfortable in a fight than on a battlefield and easier to wield, [SPEAKER_02] offering more versatility. [SPEAKER_02] Because of the time it takes to reload after every single shot, many people will carry [SPEAKER_02] two or more pistols at the same time. [SPEAKER_02] Try crafting a pistol sheath. [SPEAKER_02] with two holsters to add and carry a second pistol. [SPEAKER_00] As your neighbor damaged your carriage, were you trod upon by some reckless love for children? [SPEAKER_01] We ride for the Green Dragon Tavern. [SPEAKER_01] The proprietors are... [SPEAKER_03] eccentric, but the rooms are spacious and they do not cry. Have you been told why it is I've come [SPEAKER_03] to Boston? No, Master Birch said I should know only as much as you told it to share. He sent me a list [SPEAKER_01] of names and bade me ensure you could find them. And have you had any luck with that? Aye. William [SPEAKER_01] Johnson waits for us at the Green Dragon. How well do you know him? Not well, but he saw the order's [SPEAKER_03] mark and did not hesitate to come. Prove yourself loyal to our cause and you [SPEAKER_03] may yet know our plans as well i should like nothing more sir [SPEAKER_00] Thank you. [SPEAKER_04] You lying, cheating no-good son of a bitch. [SPEAKER_03] Perhaps you've come at a bad time. [SPEAKER_03] Oh, don't be foolish, dearies. [SPEAKER_03] Please, sit. [SPEAKER_04] Fancy something to eat? [SPEAKER_04] A drink, perhaps? [SPEAKER_04] Or is it a bed you require? [SPEAKER_01] We've already let rooms here. [SPEAKER_05] Oh, yes. [SPEAKER_05] Of course. [SPEAKER_06] Masters Lee and Kenway, was it? [SPEAKER_03] I'll have your bags brought up. [SPEAKER_07] Do you require anything further? [SPEAKER_03] Only privacy. [SPEAKER_01] This way! [SPEAKER_01] Sir William Johnson a pleasure a [SPEAKER_00] Good lad if a bit earnest. I'm told you're putting together an expedition [SPEAKER_03] We believe there's a precursor site of the region. I require your knowledge of the [SPEAKER_00] land and its people to find it. Sadly, my research has been stolen. Without it, I'm [SPEAKER_03] of no use to you. Then we'll find it. Do you have any leads? My associate, Thomas Hickey, [SPEAKER_00] has been making the rounds. He's quite good at loosening tongues. Well, tell me where [SPEAKER_00] I can find him. I'll see if I can't speed things up. We've heard rumors of bandits operating [SPEAKER_00] from a compound southwest of here. You'll likely find him there. [SPEAKER_03] charles sir we'd best be off of course [SPEAKER_00] Tell me about yourself William what's to tell I was born in Ireland to Catholic [SPEAKER_00] parents, which I learned early in life severely limited my opportunities. So I converted to [SPEAKER_00] Protestantism and journeyed here at the behest of my uncle. But I fear my uncle Peter was [SPEAKER_00] not the swiftest of men. He sought to open trade with the Kanyangahaga, but chose to [SPEAKER_00] build his settlement away from the trade routes instead of on them. I tried to reason with [SPEAKER_00] the man, but as I said, not the swiftest. So I took what little money I'd earned and [SPEAKER_00] bought my own little plot. [SPEAKER_00] a land i built a home a farm a store and a mill humble beginnings but well situated which made [SPEAKER_03] all the difference so this is how you came to know the mohawk indeed and it has proved a valuable [SPEAKER_03] relationship with still no mention from your contacts of the precursor site no hidden temple [SPEAKER_00] or ancient constructs yes and no which is to say they have their fair share of sacred sites [SPEAKER_00] earth and moons forest clearance hidden caves but nothing [SPEAKER_00] imagine what you describe no strange metals no odd glows hmm it is well [SPEAKER_00] hidden even to them it seems but cheer up my friend you'll have your precursor [SPEAKER_03] treasure I swear it to our success then and soon [SPEAKER_00] Should not be much longer. I'll let you know as soon as I have something. I hope you're right, Hatham. [SPEAKER_00] I should return to my studies. [SPEAKER_01] Thomas Hickey? [SPEAKER_06] Who's asking? [SPEAKER_03] Haytham Kenway. [SPEAKER_06] Is that supposed to mean something? [SPEAKER_01] Show some respect, boy. [SPEAKER_03] Peace, Charles. [SPEAKER_03] William Johnson sent us in the hopes we might expedite your search. [SPEAKER_06] We don't need no expediting. [SPEAKER_06] Don't need none of your fancy London speaking either. [SPEAKER_01] i found the men that done the theft then why are you just lazing around figuring out how [SPEAKER_06] to deal with those violets i have an idea well let's hear it i'll kill the lookout take up a [SPEAKER_03] position behind the guards you two approach from the front when i open fire on the group you charge [SPEAKER_03] in about the element of surprise on our side half will fall before they've even realized what's [SPEAKER_03] happened [SPEAKER_03] Get into position, but wait for me to take the first shot [SPEAKER_01] Go on now, before you make us mad. [SPEAKER_06] You too. [SPEAKER_06] Thank you so much for the elements. [SPEAKER_06] Fall back! Fall back! We'll be safe inside! [SPEAKER_01] What now? [SPEAKER_06] We can blow the door with those. [SPEAKER_07] Go on, shoot them. [SPEAKER_06] On with the show, then. [SPEAKER_06] Guess they wasn't so safe inside after all. [SPEAKER_06] Bet this'll fetch you. [SPEAKER_07] Lay down your weapons, and I'll consider letting you live. [SPEAKER_03] I make you the same offer. [SPEAKER_03] Leave no quarrel. I only wish to return this chest to its rightful owner. [SPEAKER_07] Nothing rightful about Mr. Johnson. [SPEAKER_03] I won't ask again. [SPEAKER_07] Agreed. [SPEAKER_03] Your kind is no need for books and maps who put you up to this [SPEAKER_07] Never seen a person. It's always been dead drops and letters, but they always pay sir. We do the jobs [SPEAKER_03] well [SPEAKER_03] Those days are done [SPEAKER_03] Tell your masters I said as much [SPEAKER_07] Who should I say you are you don't they'll [SPEAKER_06] Aphm, this one's got some shot on him. You might want to be grabbing it on account of your pistol being parched. [SPEAKER_03] Shame, sir. [SPEAKER_06] Back to the Green Dragon, then. I need a drink. [SPEAKER_06] Careful, gents. We've company. [SPEAKER_03] Don't let go of the chest, Charles. [SPEAKER_03] We'll take care of this rabble. [SPEAKER_06] Look at those badgers. [SPEAKER_06] Running around all over this shop. [SPEAKER_06] Wait! [SPEAKER_06] Them bodies is sure to have loot on them. [SPEAKER_06] Would be a shame to let it all go to waste. [SPEAKER_06] Are you mad? [SPEAKER_06] In case you've forgotten, we're in the midst of something. [SPEAKER_06] Aw, why's he always gotta go in four to four? [SPEAKER_00] Hello, who's that? [SPEAKER_04] Wake up, Brian, I'm coming. [SPEAKER_06] It's just a few fools with knives. They ain't so tough. [SPEAKER_01] It's not the scoundrels I'm concerned with. [SPEAKER_06] Look at those badges! [SPEAKER_06] I don't have any shop. [SPEAKER_06] Thomas! [SPEAKER_02] What? [SPEAKER_00] Pick it, you too. [SPEAKER_03] That seems to be the last of them. [SPEAKER_06] Oi! Mr. Johnson's gonna need to double my pay after all this if he expects me to keep... [SPEAKER_00] but he saw it there you are my thanks master kenway no tell me what it is you need the images [SPEAKER_03] on this amulet are they familiar to you perhaps one of the trials [SPEAKER_00] has shown you something similar it appears khanian gahaga in origin can you trace it [SPEAKER_03] to a specific location i need to know where it came from with my research returned perhaps [SPEAKER_00] let me see what i can do thomas whoa rent yourself a room and a bath as well [SPEAKER_00] I suspect we'll be here for a while. [SPEAKER_02] Speed, speed, speed. [SPEAKER_02] I need speed. [SPEAKER_03] good evening gentlemen charming oh peace charles he'll grow on you [SPEAKER_06] oi katherine you fussack get back here daddy needs a drink how fair's the search [SPEAKER_00] Maths and maps are not cutting it. What have you local contacts will need to earn their trust before they'll share what they know [SPEAKER_06] There's a man who's taken to his slaving natives rescue him and they allow us [SPEAKER_03] Do you know where they're being held right now [SPEAKER_01] Benjamin Church will he's a finder and a fixer. He's also on your [SPEAKER_03] this and there i was wondering whom i might solicit next well done this business with [SPEAKER_03] silas confuses me if britain stands any chance of pushing back the french [SPEAKER_03] must ally with the natives, not enslave them. [SPEAKER_00] Silas is loyal only to his purse. [SPEAKER_00] That his actions harm the crown is irrelevant. [SPEAKER_00] So long as there are buyers for his product, [SPEAKER_00] he'll continue to procure it. [SPEAKER_03] All the more reason to stop him, then. [SPEAKER_00] My days are spent in Congress with the locals, [SPEAKER_00] attempting to convince them that we're [SPEAKER_00] the ones they should trust, that the French are merely [SPEAKER_00] using them as tools to be abandoned once they've won. [SPEAKER_03] Your words must lose their strength. [SPEAKER_03] when held against the reality of Silas' actions. [SPEAKER_00] I've tried to explain that he does not represent us. [SPEAKER_00] But he wears the red coat. [SPEAKER_00] He commands a fort. [SPEAKER_00] I must appear to them either a liar or a fool. [SPEAKER_00] Likely both. [SPEAKER_03] Take heart, brother. [SPEAKER_03] When we deliver them his head, [SPEAKER_03] they'll know your words were true. [SPEAKER_01] do you like it here Charles there's a certain charm to Boston I suppose to all [SPEAKER_01] of the colonies really granted their cities have none of London's [SPEAKER_01] sophistication or splendor but the people are earnest and hard-working [SPEAKER_01] they've a pioneer spirit I find compelling it's quite something really [SPEAKER_03] watching a place that's finally found its feet has it though the French still [SPEAKER_01] wage war from up north and I fear the span [SPEAKER_01] have designs upon this place as well is this a new world or just another battlefield ah that's [SPEAKER_03] a story old as time itself and one that's not like to change we're cruel and desperate creatures [SPEAKER_03] set in our conquering ways the saxons and the franks the ottomans and safavids [SPEAKER_03] i could go on for hours the whole of human history is but a series of conflicts and subjugations [SPEAKER_03] A desire for more and more and more. [SPEAKER_01] I pray one day we rise above it. [SPEAKER_03] Whilst you pray, I'll act. [SPEAKER_03] We'll see who finds success first, hmm? [SPEAKER_03] It was an expression. [SPEAKER_03] Aye, and a dangerous one. [SPEAKER_03] Words have power. [SPEAKER_03] Wield them wisely. [SPEAKER_01] I've some work I should finish. [SPEAKER_01] Let us speak later. [SPEAKER_01] Sorry, sir. I'm a bit busy at the moment. [SPEAKER_03] Any news? [SPEAKER_06] Whispers of things. Nothing solid at the moment. [SPEAKER_06] I know you're looking for word of anything out of the ordinary. [SPEAKER_06] Dealing with temples and spirits and ancient times and whatnot. [SPEAKER_06] But... [SPEAKER_06] So far. Can't say my boys have heard much. [SPEAKER_03] No trinkets or artifacts being moved through your... shadow market? [SPEAKER_06] Nothing new. Couple of ill-gotten weapons, some jewelry likely lifted from a living thing. [SPEAKER_06] But you said to listen for talk of glows and ums and strange sights, right? [SPEAKER_06] And I ain't heard nothing about that. [SPEAKER_03] Keep at it. [SPEAKER_06] Oh, I will. You done me a great service, Mr. [SPEAKER_06] and I fully intend to repay my debt thrice fold if it pleases thank you [SPEAKER_06] Thomas place to sleep a meal to eat is thanks enough don't you worry I'll get [SPEAKER_06] you sorted soon [SPEAKER_06] When I know something you'll know something [SPEAKER_06] Got no office to give at current when I do you'll be the first to hear it
