Dialogue
Ratonhnhaké:ton, having captured Benjamin Franklin, returned to Samuel Adams in his safe house. As he entered Kanen'tó:kon, tossed several papers into a fire while Sam Adams studied a map on a table. Ratonhnhaké:ton shoved Franklin forward. Adams turned around and after his initial shock, pointed at Franklin. Kanen'tó:kon moved behind Franklin and held a knife to his throat. Adams closed the distance between them and leaned in close to Franklin's face Adams waved his hand and turned to walk away as Kanen'tó:kon began to drag Franklin towards the exit. However, Ratonhnhaké:ton raised a hand in protest and strode over to Adams's side. Franklin began to speak and they turned to face him. Adams turned back to the map on the table and Kanen'tó:kon released Franklin. Adams turned to Ratonhnhaké:ton and began to relate his thoughts to him while Kanen'tó:kon stepped away from Franklin and sheathed his knife. Franklin rubbed his neck. Adams turned to face Franklin as he interrupted. Adams walked to the other side of the table while waving a hand in dismissal. Franklin continued speaking anyways, making his way to the table and stood across from Adams. Franklin turned to address Ratonhnhaké:ton. Ratonhnhaké:ton nodded to Franklin in the direction of the exit and the two departed.
 * Ratonhnhaké:ton: Mr. Adams, I have a prisoner.
 * Adams: Franklin! You bastard! Take him out, have him shot!
 * Franklin: No, no, Sam! I've come to my senses! I want to help!
 * Adams: What of my cousin John? The families of Dorchester? What about the Old North Church you burned with everyone inside?
 * Franklin: All horrible.
 * Adams: Do as I said.
 * Ratonhnhaké:ton: No, I believe he will help us. The only way to end this is to get to Washington And Franklin knows Washington well.
 * Franklin: We've just learned that he is in New York.
 * Adams: But if we could join Jefferson's rebels in Manhattan, we could attack the King together. But how am I to escape the stranglehold around Boston? The docks are overrun with soldiers.
 * Kanen'tó:kon: Putnam is gone and the Captain at Boston Neck is secretly sympathetic to us. I am sure he will help us if he thinks he can get away with it.
 * Adams: Looks like he must help us in such a way that he will not be caught. ... Perhaps he can triple the soldiers' rum ration. That way, we can catch them drunk at Boston Neck and break through.
 * Franklin: And once in New York, I can be of particular help!
 * Adams: I don't want to hear it.
 * Franklin: I created a very special means of protection for Washington's palace. An attack there would be completely unexpected.
 * Ratonhnhaké:ton: You can get me past these protections?
 * Franklin: You will need a metal of a specific weight. There's a blacksmith in town, loyal to me, he'll help you.
 * Adams: This is absurd.
 * Ratonhnhaké:ton: I will get Franklin's metal and we will catch up with you.
 * Adams: This is a fool's errand, my friend, but I hope to see you in New York.
