Assassin S Creed

"If you could speak, mate... it would gladden me to hear your side. You humbled me once, and I took that hard lesson, and I bettered myself. Die knowing that for all of our conflict, you helped make a soldier out of a scoundrel."

"Captain Kenway. Ever a splinter in my side. Does this murder fulfill you? [Edward: I'm only seeing a job done, Torres. As you'd have done with me.] As we have done, I think. You have no family anymore, no friends, no future. Your losses are far greater than ours. [Edward: That may be. But killing you rights a far greater wrong than ever I did.] You honestly believe that? [Edward: You would see all of mankind corralled into a neatly furnished prison, safe and sober, yet dulled beyond reason and sapped of all spirit. So, aye... with everything I've seen and learned in these last years, I do believe it.] You wear your convictions well. They suit you..."

"Guide me to the Gray, my beloved! I am your instrument!"

"Help! Help! [Adéwalé: Who will come to your rescue? Your slaves? The overseers who follow your orders? Pathetic. What kind of man does not fight for himself?] Why-- [Adéwalé: I have killed many men on principle, but never have I wanted one to suffer as much as you - to understand what it is to gasp and beg for your life, like the innocents you drowned.] You mean those slaves? That ship? But they are not even human! Without the discipline and guidance of their masters, they turn to rebellion, murder, like you. [Adéwalé: I only wish that were true.]"

"You are too late, Assassin. [Shay: It's never too late to ruin Templar plans, Master Washington.] Ah, ah... but my plans are already in motion. Even leading you here... has given my allies time to escape. Thank you for... making my end a quick one. [Shay: And thank you for revealing your master plan, you scheming snake.]"

"This cannot be... No! Do you... even know what... that is? [Shay: An ancient artifact, a treasure from Those Who Came Before.] Yes... It matters not... Some of the greatest scientific minds of all Europe could not... make it... work..."

"[Shay: I'll take that, you Templar dog.] No! You have no idea what you are doing, fool. [Shay: Keeping the people free from your control.] How free will you be when the French undermine these squabbling colonies? [Shay: These colonies would be far better off without the Templars pulling the strings.] We bring order from chaos. If everything is permitted, no one is safe. [Shay: Even the Devil can quote scripture to suit his own purposes.]"

"You were always good at your business, Shay. [Shay: As were you. Tell me, what are you doing inland?] Special weapons... Poisonous gases to use against colonial authorities. I am merely a delivery man."

"We trained you well... traitor. [Shay: Kesegowaase... It didn't have to be this way.] It did. You are an enemy. Achilles will see you dead. [Shay: What he's doing is wrong!] Who are you to judge? The Templars will fail. You will fail. Monro... is already... dead. [Shay: What do you mean?] Liam..."

"The Manuscript... An Assassin took it... [Shay: Liam. I'll get it back, I swear it!] Shay!"

"[Shay: Forgive me, Adéwalé.] You dare beg forgiveness, child? Hell welcomes traitors like you. [Shay: Then I go there proudly, knowing I have done right.] It does not matter... Achilles already has what he needs. [Shay: I will kill every last man who defends him if I must. I cannot let him succeed.] You... have become... a monster, Shay. [Shay: Perhaps I have.] [Haytham: Come.]"

"You're late, again, Shay... [Shay: Hope, I didn't want to do this.] I TRAINED you to do this. I expected nothing less. [Shay: Then why--] To give Liam time to leave... Soon, Chevalier will be on his way to the Precursor site... [Shay: I will stop him.] He will see you coming. Pity... You had so much potential..."

"So, cabbage farmer, are you still convinced the Templars are right? [Shay: Convinced to the end. You bastard! Achilles and Liam have already headed north.] Hope... was right. I do make... a good... distraction."

"That was... lucky. [Shay: How many times do I have to tell you, Liam? I make my own luck.] And how'd you do that, you bastard? You broke the Assassins. Betrayed everyone you knew... You sided with... our worst enemies... And for what? [Shay: To save the world.] I hope that world is a good one."

"You! You're the traitor. [Shay: I'm just finishing old business.] Old... Connor and his Assassins... The American Revolution undid your Templar business. [Shay: Then perhaps we shall start a revolution of our own.]"

"Uphold the principles of our Order, and all for that for which we stand. Never share our secrets nor divulge the true nature of our work. Do so until death -- whatever the cost. This is my new creed. I am Shay Patrick Cormac. Templar of the Colonial… of the American Rite. I am an older man now, and perhaps wiser. A war and a revolution have ended, and another is about to begin. May the Father of Understanding guide us all."

"Do it. If you've got an ounce of conviction and you're not just a love-addled milksop, you'll kill me now. Because I won't stop. I will kill her. To save the Brotherhood, I'd see Paris burn. [Arno: I know.]"

"Arno! [Arno: I'm stuck.] He's getting away! [Arno: Wait, I'm almost free.] I can take him. [Arno: No you can't! Not alone! Wait for me!] I'm sorry. [Arno: Elise!]"

"(After killing Germain, Arno sees a vision of a younger Germain at work suddenly being surrounded by symbols. Suddenly, another Germain, the one he just killed, appears next to him.) Bravo. You've slain the villain. That is how you've cast this little morality play in your mind, isn't it? I'm not really here. I'm not really there either. At the moment I'm bleeding out on the floor of the Temple. But it seems the Father of Understanding has seen fit to give us this time to talk. (points to another scene of him finding Jacques de Molay's journal in his vault.) Ah. A particular favorite of mine. I did not understand the visions that haunted my mind, you see. Great towers of gold, cities shining white as silver. I thought I was going mad. Then I found this place--Jacques de Molay's vault. Through his writings, I understood. [Arno: Understood what?] That somehow, through the centuries, I was connected to Grand Master De Molay. That I had been chosen to purge the Order of the decadence and corruption that had set in like rot. And to wash the world clean, and restore to the truth of the Father of Understanding intended. (Another scene appears, depicting Germain getting dragged off by the Templars) [Arno: That seems to have gone over well.] Prophets are seldom appreciated in their own time. Exile and abasement forced me to reevaluate my strategy. Find new avenues for the realization of my purpose. (Another scene plays showing Germain's followers bowing before him.) [Arno: No matter the cost?] (A guillotine blade drops out of nowhere, indicating King Louis XVI's death.) New order never comes without destruction of the old. And if men are made to fear untrammeled liberty, so much the better. A brief taste of chaos will remind them why they crave obedience. (Élise's last moments are played before the two men.) It appears we part ways here. Think on this: the march of progress is slow, but it is inevitable as a glacier. All you have accomplished is to delay the inevitable. One death cannot stop the tide. Perhaps it will not be my hand that shepherds mankind back to its proper place - but it will be someone's. Think on this when you remember her."

"[Evie: It is time to lay down your head, Sir David Brewster.] But I have so much more to discover. [Evie: Do not be afraid.] I am not. God will protect me. [Evie: I will continue your experiment.] You will not stop Starrick. Miss Thorne has already found another Piece of Eden, more powerful than the last. [Evie: I will take that one, too.] We fight to gain what we cannot take with us. It's in our nature."

"At last it ends... Yet I can only think of beginnings... A better tomorrow, forged with the blood of visionaries. [Jacob: All I see is the blood of a lunatic.] Do you truly believe murdering an old man will stop humanity's Great Architect? Crawford Starrick has a glorious design for mankind! [Jacob: Designs are meant to be broken.] You are a child... A child who believes he can solve all the world's woes with a flick of a blade... Have you ever pondered the consequences of your actions, Jacob Frye? Or did your father teach you nothing?"

"I knew this day would come... Mr. Starrick was furious I lost the engines. So this is my comeuppance... [Jacob: Pearl Attaway led me to you, not Starrick.] Then they're working together again. I should never have come between Mr. Starrick and Miss Attaway. Family always stay together in the end. [Jacob: What do you mean, they're family?]"

"What a shame. Good partnerships are hard to come by. [Jacob: Ours is most certainly dissolved.] It's business, Mr. Frye. One does what one must to come out on top. Crawford will not take the news of my death lightly. He can be... unpleasant when he's cross. I have sacrificed so much. I don't want to lose my buses..."

"So you have murdered me after all. But what good will that do you? The Shroud isn't here. [Evie: You sought a tool of healing in order to extend your own power.] Not mine, ours. You are so short-sighted. You'd hoard power and never use it, when we would better the condition of humanity. I hope you never find the Shroud. You have no idea what it truly can do. [Evie: Tell me, then.] No."

"[Jacob: You've stolen your last shilling from the people of London.] Those animals squander their savings. We are the experts in investment. Nothing would be built or improved, nothing would rise above the muck without our hand guiding -- No, creating! -- the future. They benefit as much as their worth. [Jacob: It is their city, not yours.] Without our investments, there would be no city. [Jacob: (flips coin) For the path of the dead.]"

"Coward! Villain! Alas, that the hero of Balaclava should fall not on the glorified fields of Crimea, but to an Assassin's blade, in the very halls of power! [Jacob: Are you finished yet?] Take your bow, knave, for you have managed what no Russian battery, what no Indian tiger could achieve. Claim your trophy, and may you choke on it. [Jacob: Yes, but do tell me more about Balaclava.] Farewell, farewell dear Britannia! Your dawn shall be dimmer that the Earl of Cardigan sees it not! God save the Queen and the 11th Hussars! [Jacob: What a prick.]"

"Darling, what a night! The stuff of legends. [Jacob: Why did you do it? All of it?] What? Snap a baby crow's neck between my thumb and forefinger? Slice to bits the ones you deem 'innocent'? Keep the world in its divine manic state? For the same reason I do anything - Why not?"

"London will perish without me! [Jacob: You flatter yourself.] I would have created a paradise. [Evie: The city belongs to the people. You are but one man.] I am at the very top of the Order. [Jacob: You were, Mr. Starrick. You were.]"

"I should thank you, Miss Frye. I feared death at the Ripper's hands, far more than at yours. [Evie: What have you done with these men?] The Ripper is entertaining them presently... Mr. Weaversbrook will be joining them soon..."

"Look at you! Goody two-shoes, is it? You think offing some 'ol hangman is going to change what we do here? [Evie: We?] What do you think? This was your brother's vision...his inspiration! [Evie: I don't believe you.] He taught Mr. Jack how to rip the filth from this rotten city; but you don't have the balls to see what's right and necessary. [Evie: Where is Jack? Where is the Ripper?] Ah Ah Ah...! [Evie: To hell with your right and necessary.]"

"We are the same you and I... [Evie: Oh, Jack... You were an Assassin, yes, but we are not the same. And that is why your memory must be erased for all time. Rest in peace now Jack, you and your twisted acolytes.]"

"You are the Medjay from Siwa? I thought Medjays were supposed to protect the Pharaoh? [Bayek: I am Medjay to no pharaoh. You see this?] I can read my own name, nek! We will find you. We will find you, in your sleep. [Bayek: Sleep? I never sleep. I just wait. In the shadows. And I will kill you all. Everyone who sniffed the air that day in Siwa.]"

"You! You have returned. [Bayek: To right your wrong.] I die, my work unfinished. So close, so very close to ushering in the perpetual rule of the strong and virtuous! [Bayek: Virtue?] The vault will give us the power of the gods. What is one boy? [Bayek: What is one boy.] [Khemu: Papo?] We thought you were dead. You could not even save your own son! You are no one. Bayek of nothing. Father of nobody. [Bayek: Here! Here! And here is your "nobody".] (Bayek smashes Medunamun's face with the Apple of Eden) [Bayek: May the Hidden One greet you. The lord of the Duat awaits.]"

"Why have you dragged me into the land of the dead? [Bayek: You sought to kill my wife.] Your whore of a wife is a murderess! Willfully and wantonly. I did my duty as a phylakitai. And for this, you have taken my life. Is your vengeance above all law, Medjay? Be warned, the Phylakes will hunt you down and exact revenge. [Bayek: May the Hidden One walk beside you. The lord of the Duat awaits.]"

"[Bayek: Die and be done with it.] May the gods curse you! What cause have you to kill me? [Bayek: It was you who murdered my son before my eyes.] You are a fool! [Bayek: At the temple in Siwa.] That forsaken shit hole? I had nothing to do with that disaster! [Bayek: It is too late for your lies. Anubis awaits. It is worth the loss to slay the Snake at last.] The Snake?... The Snake will never die. [Bayek: Son of Apep, the lord of the Duat awaits.]"

"So... this is how a dream dies. I could have built something to last an age! [Bayek: And Ghupa could have sung stories of your accomplishments.] There are things I regret! We all labor for higher powers. We are all in thrall to greater forces. There is no escape. I am but one in the Order of Ancients. This victory will bring you no peace! [Bayek: It is not peace that I seek. It is not for my soul that I walk this path.] The Order of Ancients will remember me as the bringer of waters and a builder of cities! [Bayek: Or the desert will blow in... and scatter the dream of Letopolis like dust.]"

"Do I walk among the dead now? [Bayek: A just end. You defiled the dead and enabled the people who killed my son. All on a selfish whim.] No! I gathered the silica for them -- it powered the magic stone of Those Who Came Before. You saw it, didn't you? The symbols only needed to be learned. [Bayek: It is not meant for us.] It makes no difference now. I wanted to protect my daughter in life and death. I have done neither... Osiris! Please grant me reunion. She walks alone in The Field of Reeds! Am I to remain in the Duat forever? (Khaliset is dragged away by her own pet hyenas) I just want my daughter back... Please!?"

"[Bayek: The Lizard. The priest who cursed Memphis.] I serve the ways of old Egypt. [Bayek: Old Egypt asks a heavy price! Innocents mutilated, children ripped from the womb, the High Priest's name abused--] His name was muck before you arrived. The masses are the cattle of the gods, driven by the herdsman's whip. You are one of them, Bayek. You are a cow. [Bayek: It is will that drives me, not fear.] Oh yes? And who passes the whip over your back? Who demands that you stain your ka with my death? [Bayek: I have my gods. Now face yours.]"

"[Bayek: Shadya!] Murdered...by one of you... [Bayek: Shadya.] Who? [Bayek: Shadya! She was the child you drowned.] Like all of your kind, you fail to see what greatness lies in store for Egypt. [Bayek: Is that what you tell yourself? You do not remember those you killed. She was the child of Khenut and Hotephres.] Khenut was a stubborn rock. That ledger would have meant the end to all our hopes. [Bayek: You destroyed families.] I did what had to be done. [Bayek: I will destroy everything you stand for, Berenike. And I will destroy all others like you. But for now, all that matters is that you killed Shadya. And the last word you will remember is her name. Shadya!]"

"[Egyptian Soldier: Team One, we've located the secondary target. Extracting her now.] No, don't, please--No! [Egyptian Soldier: Secondary target neutralized.]"

"[Bayek: You die easily for a god.] I am nobody. Nobody. But when the Son of Ra stands on the mountain and says "do it", it gets done. [Bayek: Nek! You told them to murder.] I am not sorry. Is Bayek of Siwa sorry? I lost my family, you lost your family. We have the right to do anything we want to anyone. [Bayek: No, we are different. You burned farms. You killed innocents. You are insane.] Hypocrite! You can pile up one thousand dead bodies in front of me. It doesn't change me. The world will burn! The Order won't save it! You will burn with it, Medjay... [Bayek: May you walk the land of the Duat.]"

"[Bayek: Your role in that insane order comes to an end, Pothinus. Face your judgment.] They went too far, in Siwa. I knew it then, but I just wanted peace for Egypt. [Bayek: Your peace leaves many wanting.] This is inevitable. A good rule always does. My apologies, Bayek of Siwa. (puts a coin in his mouth) My fee is covered it seems. Now may I go to my glory. [Bayek: There is no glory left in Egypt.]"

"[Aya: Stop your flailing. You will live, fool.] Flavius was behind it all... I am sorry... Flavius killed your son. They were here. They took the orb from me. They... go to Siwa. [Bayek: Siwa?] Bayek... Aya... Your people are in danger. Go... now. [Aya: Fare thee well, Apollodorus, to the house of Hades.]"

"[Bayek: He was a child, Flavius. My child!] That's the one thing I do not regret in my life. [Bayek: I will never give you peace!] Your son's death made the Order bow to me. Caesar even. I had Rome. It gave me an Empire of a thousand sons each one greater than the last. Come on, finish me, you coward! The waste of time. [Bayek: I can't do it, I can't, I can't do it!]"

"It's alright, papo... [Bayek: No... I will... I will lose you forever.] Not forever. I will be waiting for you in the field of reeds."

"Damn you, (she-wolf). [Aya: My son's heart... for your life.] Was revenge everything you hoped? You and the Medjay shall drench the sheets with your sweat tonight. [Aya: The staff...] With the Order. I served them and your beloved Egypt. And I'll be rewarded in the afterlife. An eternity of drinking and whoring with my brothers. [Aya: The only thing that waits for you is oblivion. For your name, your Order and the rotting corpses of your Gabiniani. Apep devour your fetid heart.]"

"Do I know you? You, who strikes from the shadows? [Aya: The same fate will come to all despots.] In the end, it is impossible not to become what others believe you are. And I was a god! [Aya: There is a new creed now.] Rome is eternal. She will never fall to you or your kind. [Aya: Freedom is not given, Caesar. It is taken. Requiescat in pace (rest in peace), Caesar.]"

"Egyptians all! Rome will be your wise master. The Order is eternal."

"... ten, eleven ... mm-mm. The Order is eternal. (laughs)"

"Rufio, the shards of star still elude us... The Order is eternal. You are ephemeral."
