## Description

While Jacob hunted down Rupert Ferris, Evie set out to eliminate the Templar scientist David Brewster.

## Dialogue

Hiding in a train headed for a Templar facility, Evie inspected a map of the area.

* **Evie:** *Yard... Guard quarters... Brewster's laboratory. This is where the Piece of Eden will be located.*

Evie burned the map.

* **Evie:** *No loose ends. Now, to decouple the locomotive and create a diversion.*

Two guards entered the carriage where Evie was hiding.

* **Guard 1:** *Well, where is it? Huh? Where's Brewster's supplies?*
* **Guard 2:** *Meater (coward.)*

Evie whistled from her hiding spot behind a crate.

* **Guard 1:** *Who's there?*

As the guard approached, Evie killed him.

* **Evie:** *Time to deploy the diversion.*

Evie made her way to the locomotive.

* **Evie:** *I'm on my way, Sir David.*

She spotted a pair of guards.

* **Evie:** *Hello, boys.*
* **Guard 3:** *Sir David was working with Miss Thorne. He's an inventor. He made that tube, the one you stick in your eye.*
* **Guard 4:** *I know what he's doing to those patients. The eye ain't the half of it.*
* **Guard 3:** *Now see here, mate, I'm talking about a toy. The kaleidoscope.*
* **Guard 4:** *Search out back in the coal yards. You'll see. That man ain't no toymaker.*

Evie found a family hiding in a carriage.

* **Father:** *Please, miss, don't turn us in. They'll send us to the lab.*
* **Mother:** *We'll be on our way as soon as the train slows, miss.*

The child sobbed.

* **Evie:** *Shhh. Quiet.*
* **Mother:** *Hush, child, or else I'll give you a right good hiding!*

Evie continued along the train and encountered another pair of guards.

* **Guard 5:** *More patients getting hauled to the lab every day.*
* **Guard 6:** *Someone's in a rush.*
* **Guard 5:** *How's Sir David and Miss Thorne getting on?*
* **Guard 6:** *She's turned up like a bad penny, ain't she? I'll put five bob on things not being to her liking.*
* **Guard 5:** *Ain't looking none too good for ol' Sir David then.*

As Evie neared the locomotive, she breathed in the smoke from the chimney.

* **Evie:** *Smells like Jacob's cooking.*

On reaching the locomotive, Evie detached the rest of the train.

* **Evie:** *That should keep you busy while I head into your lab.*

As the locomotive arrived at the facility's railyard, Evie jumped off.

* **Guard 7:** *Follow me down the tracks.*
* **Guard 8:** *You stay 'ere and keep a look out!*
* **Guard 9:** *All right, I'll shout if I get any better.*
* **Evie:** *First, for a bird's eye view. Can't be too careful.*
* **Guard 10:** *How did it come apart?*
* **Guard 11:** *Not your concern. Bring back the cargo.*

Evie ascended a tower. From there, she saw Brewster speaking with Lucy Thorne.

* **Brewster:** *I need two more weeks with the device.*
* **Thorne:** *Your questionable practices are beginning to draw unwanted attention. You've been given more than enough time to achieve results, Sir David.*
* **Brewster:** *I was unaware that you expected me to perform like a cocker spaniel.*
* **Thorne:** *Permit me to remind you of your obligation to the Order.*
* **Brewster:** *Miss Thorne, you ride me like a racehorse!*
* **Thorne:** *Sir David. I will return tomorrow. If you have not unlocked the device's secret, forget your dogs and horses; I will leave you to the wolves. Good day.*

Evie then saw a man confronted by two guards.

* **Topping:** *I was merely promised a tour of the premises, m'lords.*
* **Guard 12:** *Who sent you?*
* **Guard 13:** *He's one of Green's spies.*
* **Brewster:** *Get that man to interrogation, then I want him brought to the lab.*

The man was taken away.

* **Evie:** *What a pity, but no deviations from the mission.*
* **Guard 14:** *We don't get those supplies back from the train, Mr. Starrick'll cut our wages.*
* **Guard 15:** *They'll bring 'em home. You watch.*
* **Guard 16:** *Does Sir David Brewster take in the largest haul for Starrick Industries?*
* **Guard 17:** *Not likely! Been on one of Mister Starrick's excursions?*
* **Guard 16:** *Pleasure trips?*
* **Guard 17:** *Bank robberies.*
* **Guard 16:** *Tipping the scales in his favor. I love it.*
* **Guard 18:** *I hear Sir David has a man in Parliament.*
* **Guard 19:** *Not Brewster, Kanurd (drunkard), it's Mr. Starrick's man. And there's likely more than one.*

Evie entered the laboratory building, where she overheard the man being interrogated.

* **Evie:** *Nearly there. Where's Brewster's laboratory? All reconnaissance pointed straight here.*
* **Guard 20:** *Speak up!*
* **Guard 21:** *Let me beat it out of him.*
* **Topping:** *I ask you, m'lord, can't a gentleman wander the tracks?*
* **Guard 20:** *How did you break into the laboratory? The entrance his hidden.*
* **Evie:** *A secret laboratory? Well, well. Perhaps I can aid this interrogation.*
* **Topping:** *What do you wish me to elaborate upon, m'lord? I am all ears.*
* **Guard 20:** *I will take them, too, if you do not answer me! Who sent you?*
* **Topping:** *Why, I did, m'lord. I came on my own two feet.*
* **Guard 21:** *Let me put his fingers through the mangle...*
* **Guard 20:** *Not yet. Was it Green?*
* **Topping:** *Neither Green, nor Black, nor Brown!*
* **Guard 20:** *Henry Green.*
* **Topping:** *Oh, Henry Green! Who's he?*
* **Guard 20:** *Your very soul hangs in the balance.*
* **Topping:** *That's what me mother said this very week when I went to the fights. But she always turn a blind eye when I come home with me earnings, you can bet your last shilling.*
* **Guard 20:** *Confess! Or my sharp friend here will have his way. You shall return home empty-handed.*
* **Guard 21:** *Now we're talking?*
* **Guard 20:** *Give him a taster.*
* **Topping:** *No! No, no!*
* **Guard 20:** *That's the stuff!*

Evie killed the two guards.

* **Topping:** *Ah! Thank you kindly! I was in ever such a squeaky fix, when - what do you know - you rescue me.*
* **Evie:** *Where's the hidden laboratory?*
* **Topping:** *Untie me and then we can parlay, m'lady.*
* **Evie:** *I'm pressed for time. Tell me now.*
* **Topping:** *It's underground. Requires a key. One of the guards nicked mine, cheeky sod.*
* **Evie:** *Thank you.*
* **Topping:** *Eh, now untie me?*
* **Evie:** *You got yourself in. I trust you can get yourself out again.*
* **Topping:** *Not to worry, m'lady. Can still recall a couple of tricks from me carnival days.*
* **Evie:** *Charming.*

As Evie left the room, she turned around and saw that the man had disappeared.

* **Guard 22:** *What are you doing? Keep that key in your pocket, or else Miss Thorne'll have your guts for garters.*
* **Edgar:** *Let's have a butcher's (look) downstairs, then. I wanna see that artifact.*
* **Guard 22:** *Not if you value your life!*
* **Edgar:** *Hey! Leave them rats alone. They've as much right to be here as you.*
* **Cleaner:** *Mind your own post. I'll feed 'em to me cat.*
* **Edgar:** *Poor little rats. What a juggins...What've they got down in that lab? Just a little peak...I best not.*

Evie took the key to the secret laboratory from one of the guards.

* **Evie:** *Got it.*
* **Guard 23:** *Visit Mister Maxwell Roth's music hall yet?*
* **Guard 24:** *No.*
* **Guard 23:** *Count yourself lucky. My advice to you, if that man asks you to get in on the act, run.*
* **Guard 24:** *I'm a loyal servant, he'll have no cause for anger.*
* **Guard 23:** *Good luck guessing what that heathen wants.*
* **Guard 25:** *You think Edgar nips downstairs for a taste? Would he tell us?*
* **Guard 26:** *Not on his life! If I had that key, I would keep my mouth shut tight.*

Evie made her way to the train service building.

* **Guard 27:** *Scared, ain't ya? Or do you always look like a plucked chicken? All mouth, ain't ya? Come on, then, let's see if you can take a good bashing.*
* **Spectators:** *Put your hands up an' fight like a man. Shut your gob and just put 'em up. My coin's on him! I'll get you, you fuckin' bastard! You'll leave empty handed.*

I'm gonna redo your portrait, pal!

Go on, hit him!

I'll give three to one the little

Go on, floor him!

Thump in the belly, then a right hook!

Place your wagers, people!
Evie entered the train yard.

* **Guard 28:** *What's Sir David up to in there?*
* **Guard 29:** *Don't know and don't care to ask.*

Evie found the secret entrance to the laboratory.

* **Evie:** *There you are, the entrance to Brewster's lab.*

Using the key, she unlocked a door and took an elevator to the laboratory.

* **Evie:** *Back on track.*
* **Worker:** *Ronnie, can't it wait till the morning?*
* **Ronnie:** *No, it can't, so do as you're bloody told! And by the way, it's "sir," to you!*
* **Worker:** *The blokes are knackered, sir, someone's gonna get hurt if you push too hard, honest to god.*
* **Ronnie:** *And someone's gonna be out of work if you keep on whinging like your old codger!*

Evie observed an electric experiment being performed on the Piece of Eden.

* **Evie:** *Piece of Eden.*
* **Brewster:** *Increase the electricity.*
* **Reynolds:** *But it'll become unstable, sir.*
* **Brewster:** *You heard what Miss Thorne said. We need results now.*

The assistant increased the electricity.

* **Reynolds:** *By Jove! Under blue light, it goes completely transparent!*
* **Brewster:** *The cheek of that woman! I say I ought to seize the blasted artifact for Edinburgh.*
* **Reynolds:** *If you don't mind me saying, that would be an exceptionally bad idea!*
* **Brewster:** *Why? It's God's Apple, not hers! I will display it in public! Darwin will be vanquished, banished in shame to the blasted Galapagos to roost with his beloved finches.*
* **Reynolds:** *Miss Thorne will have your head, and Mister Starrick the rest!*
* **Brewster:** *You know, Reynolds, it might just be worth the risk.*
* **Reynolds:** *Sir David, you cannot be serious!*
* **Brewster:** *Just a wee joke, Reynolds! Once we unlock the artifact's secrets, the Templars' grip on London will be fixed! The Assassins will fall, and Darwin will be little more than a bearded memory! That Miss Thorne, she's something. A jug of sour milk, but what a wit! A little more electricity!*

Stop there! It must be kept stable.

Take note of its hue.

Watch carefully!

Yes, that's it! Now we really have something!

Note the frequent fluctuations in the light.

I will win this war, Miss Thorne.

Soon, I will be free of this godforsaken laboratory.

Evie assassinated Brewster.

* **Evie:** *It is time to lay down your head, Sir David Brewster.*
* **Brewster:** *But I have so much more to discover.*
* **Evie:** *Do not be afraid.*
* **Brewster:** *I am not. God will protect me.*
* **Evie:** *I will continue your experiment.*
* **Brewster:** *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.*
* **Brewster:** *We fight to gain what we cannot take with us. It's in our nature.*

Brewster died, after which Evie took his blood with a handkerchief. In the meantime, the Piece of Eden grew more unstable, destroying the laboratory and itself.

* **Evie:** *I have to get out of here now! Come on, Evie.*

Evie fell onto a pool of water under a walkway and climbed up.

* **Evie:** *Keep going.*

Evie slid under some debris, which fell down afterwards.

* **Evie:** *That was far too close. I must find a way out.*

Evie crawled through the debris towards the exit.

* **Evie:** *Nearly through. Come on!*

Evie escaped the facility and met up with Jacob at a nearby railyard.

* **Jacob:** *What was that explosion?*
* **Evie:** *What explosion?*
* **Jacob:** *Evie.*
* **Evie:** *The Piece of Eden detonated and took the lab with it.*
* **Jacob:** *That magic lump of hyperbolic metal? I'm shocked.*
* **Evie:** *Simply because you have never valued the Pieces, does not mean-*

George Westhouse arrived.

* **George:** *All went according to plan, hmm?*
* **Evie:** *There was a slight complication.*
* **George:** *How slight?*
* **Jacob:** *The lab exploded.*
* **Evie:** *Jacob.*

George turned to Jacob.

* **George:** *You derailed a train.*
* **Evie:** *Oh, he did, did he?*
* **Jacob:** *Well, the train derailed and I happened to be on it. I killed my target.*
* **Evie:** *Brewster is also no more.*
* **George:** *Then all in all, a successful mission, in spite of you two.*
* **Jacob:** *What about London?*
* **George:** *What about it?*
* **Jacob:** *We're wasting our time out here.*
* **George:** *You know as well as I do that London has been the domain of the Templars for the last hundred years. They are far too strong yet. Patience.*
* **Evie:** *But the Templars have found a new Piece of Eden.*
* **George:** *Sir David is dead; they do not know how to use it. The Council shall guide us, sound advice that your father would have seconded. I shall see you back in Crawley.*

George left.

* **Jacob:** *"Patience" Evie.*
* **Evie:** *Ah, the gentle sound of opportunity passing us by.*
* **Jacob:** *So what's stopping us? London is waiting to be liberated. Forget Crawley.*
* **Evie:** *Father would have wanted us to listen-*
* **Jacob:** *Oh, Father. You could continue his legacy in London.*
* **Evie:** *Freeing future generations from a city ruled by Templars. You know, Jacob Frye, you might just be right.*
* **Jacob:** *Then, shall we?*
* **Evie:** *Yes, let's. Onward to London!*

Jacob and Evie jumped aboard a passing train bound for London.

## Outcome

Evie killed Brewster, although the Piece of Eden was destroyed, and she learned that the Templars had already found a new one. Fed up with waiting to strike at their enemies, she and Jacob defied their superiors' orders and traveled to London.

## Trivia

* The title of the memory is a reference to the 1998 film of the same name.
* The Head of Saint Denis can be seen on Brewster's workstation.
* If Evie does not get out of the laboratory fast enough, a short cutscene plays, in which Evie's legs get trapped under debris, before she is crushed by rubble.
