“Once, your Creed was as vital to me as air and water…but when the Turks marched into Wallachia, and you Assassins did nothing to stop it, how could I continue to believe? If a man’s philosophy does not let him protect his people, his home, and his family…what good can it do for the world?” – The Sentinel (Vali cel Tradat)

Vidic: Let’s go, Mr. Miles! Time’s wasting!

Desmond: Where’s Lucy?

Vidic: Oh, don’t worry, she’ll be with us soon enough.

Desmond: So why are you doing this, Doc? What are you hoping to accomplish?

Vidic: You turn the television on lately? Read the newspaper?

Desmond: Never cared much for that stuff.

Vidic: Then let me sum it up for you: the world’s a mess. It’s pathetic, really. You’ve seen it first-hand yourself. A thousand year between you and your ancestor and society, remains just as barbaric. Just as stupid.

Desmond: And your point is…

Vidic: Order, Mr. Miles. The world needs order. That is what we are working towards, and that is what you are helping us to achieve.

Desmond: You expect me to believe you’re building a better tomorrow?

Vidic: That’s exactly what we’re doing! The human race calls out for direction. They want to know why they’re here, what they’re meant to do. Well…we’re going to tell them. And once they understand how to live their lives, everything will be better.

Desmond: Better how?

Vidic: An end to all conflicts, large and small. Isn’t that what you Assassins strive for? ‘Peace in all things?’

Desmond: I told you, I’m not an Assassin.

Vidic: Right, right.

Desmond: I still don’t know where I fit into this.

Vidic: In time, Mr. Miles. In time, you’ll understand…or you won’t! I don’t care either way, as long as you show us where it is.

Desmond: Where what is?

Lucy: Sorry I’m late. Ready to go?

Vidic: Yes, we are.
