Dialogue[]

ACIII-Soldier 2

Benjamin informing the group about Silas Thatcher

  • Benjamin: Johnson's told me what you intend. As it happens, the man who held me is the same one that you seek. His name is Silas Thatcher.
  • Charles: That fancy lad is our slaver?
  • Benjamin: Don't let his velvet tongue deceive you. A crueler and more vicious creature, I've never known.
  • Haytham: What can you tell me of his operation?
  • Benjamin: He hosts at least a hundred men, more than half of whom are Redcoats.
  • Haytham: All this for some slaves?
  • Benjamin: Hardly. The man's a commander in the King's Troop, in charge of the Southgate Fort.
  • Haytham: We need to find a way inside... Hmmm... Let me think on it. In the meantime, I'll attend to our final recruit.
  • Charles: John Pitcairn's our man. I'll take you to him.

Haytham and Charles went to the military district.

  • Redcoat: State your business.
  • Charles: New recruit.
  • Redcoat: More kindling for the pyre, eh? Go on, then.
  • Haytham: How'd you manage that?
  • Charles: Did you forget, sir? My commission is with General Braddock—when I'm not attending to you, of course.

Charles and Haytham came upon Braddock and Pitcairn.

  • Braddock: Pitcairn, you fool! Your acts are treacherous. Give me one good reason I shouldn't kill you right now. Were you planning to announce yourself? Or did you hope my men wouldn't notice your arrival?

Haytham trying to convince Braddock to release Pitcairn

  • John: Sir, if you'll allow me to explain...
  • Braddock: Oh, by all means. I should like very much to hear this.
  • John: I have not deserted, sir. I am here under Commander Amherst's orders.
  • Braddock: Show me a letter bearing his seal and you might be spared the gallows.
  • John: I have no such thing... The nature of my work, sir... it's...

Haytham decided to interrupt.

  • Haytham: ...It's the sort of thing best not put to paper.
  • Braddock: Haytham.
  • Haytham: General Braddock.
  • Braddock: I suppose I shouldn't be surprised. Wolves often travel in packs.
  • Haytham: Master Pitcairn won't be here for but a few weeks. I shall return him to his proper post once our work is finished.
  • Braddock: The Devil's work no doubt. It's bad enough my superiors insisted I grant you use of Charles. But they've said nothing about this traitor. You'll not have him.
  • Haytham: Edward, listen to reason.
  • Braddock: We're done here. See these gentlemen out.

Haytham and Charles were removed from the military district by Braddock's soldiers.

  • Charles: Well that didn't go as I expected.
  • Haytham: And to think, I used to call him brother...
  • Charles: What now? They'll chase us off if we try and return.
  • Haytham: We're done with the camp. And as luck would have it, so are they. Come along.

Charles and Haytham followed a small patrol of men, including Braddock.

  • Charles: What are you planning?
  • Haytham: To steal Master Pitcairn.
  • Charles: What?
  • Haytham: You'll see. Now, when I give the signal, you're to distract Braddock's patrol and lure them into a dead end.
ACIII-Soldier 8

Haytham following the patrol

Haytham and Charles followed the patrol for several blocks.

  • Braddock: Hmmm. Where shall we head next?
  • Redcoat: Perhaps down Marlborough?
  • Braddock: No... its residents are too content. Their homes are nice—their days untroubled.
  • Redcoat: What of Lyn or Ship Street?
  • Braddock: Yes. Those fresh arrived are often soon in dire straits. They're more likely to seize upon an opportunity to fatten their purses and feed their young.
  • Haytham: Now!

Charles disguised himself and ran up to General Braddock.

  • Charles: Oi! You're thieves and scoundrels one and all! Fie on you and your false war!

Charles threw horse manure at Braddock and ran away.

  • Braddock: After him!

Braddock eventually caught up to Charles.

  • Haytham: Unhand him, Edward!
  • Braddock: You again.
  • Haytham: Let us go—and John Pitcairn with us.
  • Braddock: I will not have my authority challenged.
  • Haytham: Nor I.
ACIII-Soldier 14

Haytham threatening Braddock

  • Braddock: Put them all in chains.

A fight then ensued, and Haytham and his allies killed all the redcoats, with the exception of General Braddock.

  • Haytham: I stay my hand today because you were once my brother—and a better man than this. But should our paths ever cross again, all debts will be forgotten. You're free now, John.
  • Braddock: Traitor! Go on then! Join them on their fool's errand! And when you find yourself lying broken and dying at the bottom of -

Pitcairn ignored Braddock and spoke to Haytham.

  • John: I assume you've good reason for causing all this madness? What is it you require of me?
  • Haytham: I'll explain everything on the way...

Outcome[]

Haytham recruited the last name on his list, and was finally ready to start his infiltration of Silas Thatcher's fort.
