Torres: 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.

Torres: 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.

Torres: 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.

Torres: You wear your Convictions well. They suit you…

Assassin’s Creed IV Black Flag was released 4 years ago today.

Adéwalé: What’s our Course today, Captain? It’s a fine Day for any kind of Mischief.

Edward: What’s your Feeling?

Adéwalé: I’ll make no Secret of wanting to see the British brought to Heel. If we can take some their Gold and put it to use ourselves, I’d be a happy Man.

Edward: Spoken like a true Welshman, Adé.

Adéwalé: And what’s your Aim?

Edward: Master Kidd hinted at a Prize he was eager to show me down in Tulum. Quite some distance, mind. On the Yucatán Peninsula.

Adéwalé: You trust him to play it fair?

Edward: I can’t be sure. But he has a way of picking away at my Conscience that gives me Pause. I should go see him. Soon.

Adéwalé: So long as we take some Prizes along the way, I’m sure the Crew will understand. I’ll set a course for Tulum.

Edward: Quartermaster. What’s our present Course?

Anne: Due west, Captain. If it’s still Kingston we’re sailing for.

Edward: It is indeed, Miss Bonny. Call it out.

Anne: Weigh Anchor and let fall the Courses, Lads! We’re sailing for Jamaica!

Happy International Women’s Day and birthday Anne Bonny!

Edward: So what’ll you do with your Share of the Gold we take from Governor Torres? Return to Africa? Prince among Men?

Adéwalé: I cannot return to a Place I have never been. I was born in Trinidad, a Slave from my first Breath.

Edward: Ah. But wouldn’t you feel… I don’t know… More welcome there?

Adéwalé: As you might feel more welcome in Paris?

Edward: Fair Point.

Adéwalé: With this Skin and this Voice, where can I go in the World and feel at Ease? This Country here is my best Chance. This Country called Jackdaw, where I know the Names of all Citizens, and they know Mine, and we work together. Not always out of Love, but to keep our Country afloat.

Edward: I think I understand ye. Let’s take her, then. For the Citizens of Jackdaw!

Edward: Jaysus, Adé. What the Hell happened here?

Adéwalé: You happened here, Edward. The Damage you caused six Years ago has not been undone.

Edward: I’m not an easy Man to call a friend, am I? Is that why you’re here?

Adéwalé: To fight beside a Man so driven by personal Gain and Glory is a hard Thing, Edward. And I have come to feel the Assassins – and their Creed – a more honourable Course. Have I been unfair?

Edward: No. For Years I’ve been rushing around, taking whatever I fancied, not giving a Tinker’s Curse for those I hurt. Yet here I am… with Riches and Reputation, feeling no wiser than when I left Home. Yet when I turn around, and look at the course I’ve run… here’s not a Man or Woman that I love left standing beside me.

Ah Tabai: There is Time to make Amends, captain Kenway.

Edward: Mary… before she died she asked me to do Good by her. To sort out the Mess I’d made. Can you help me?

Edward: You put me on a Spot, Adé. After you leaving me with Roberts, I should have hard Feelings about seeing you here. But mostly, I’m bloody glad.

Adéwalé: Me too, Breddah. And you’ll be chuffed to know your Jackdaw is still in one Piece.

Edward: Shall we set Sail for-

You’re leaving?

Adéwalé: Aye, Edward. For I’ve another Calling elsewhere.

Edward: Adé, listen…

Adéwalé: When your Heart and your Head are ready, visit the Assassins. I think you’ll understand then…

Thatch: Here’s to our Pirate Republic, Lads. We’re prosperous and free, and out of the Reach of Kings, Clergy, and Debt Collectors.

Kidd: Near five-hundred Men now pledge their Allegiance to the Brethren of the Coast in Nassau. Not a bad Number.

Thatch: Truth. Yet we lack sturdy Defences. If the King were to attack the Town, he’d Trample us.

Edward: Then let us find the Observatory. If it does what these Templars claim, we’ll be unbeatable.

Thatch: Not that Twaddle again, Kenway! That’s a Story for Schoolboys. I mean proper Defences. Steal a Galleon, Shift all the guns to one Side. Would make a nice Ornament for one of our Harbours.

Adéwalé: It will not be easy to steal a full Spanish Galleon. Have you one in mind?

Thatch: I do, Sir. And I’ll show you. She’s a Fussock she is. Fat and slow.
