Lee's Last Stand was a virtual representation of one of Ratonhnhaké:ton's genetic memories, relived by Desmond Miles in 2012 through the Animus.
Description
Connor returned from Chesapeake Bay and infiltrated Fort George, hoping to assassinate Charles Lee.
Dialogue
Connor was greeted by Stephane Chapheau.
- Stephane: Hello Connor! Welcome back.
- Connor: Is everything in place?
- Stephane: Oui. (Yes.) Lafayette waits for you inside the tunnel beneath the city.
Connor made his way to the tunnel.
- Stephane: Sometimes I worry... That these Patriots - for all their talk of liberty and equality - will fall back into the old ways!
- Lafayette: It will depend greatly on who is chosen to lead them. A man of humble means - who has worked to earn his place... I think a man like that is less likely to dream of thrones.
- Stephane: All men dream of thrones. It is in our nature...
- Lafayette: Then what would you do?
- Stephane: Ensure their leader is sterile. Without an heir, the threat of succession is ended - and might be left to the people once more.
- Lafayette: Connor! This tunnel will take you into the military district.
- Connor: And the Admiral?
- Lafayette: He waits for you to light the signal - and then the strike begins!
- Stephane: And we will be there as well!
Connor left and lit the signal tower, sparking the attack. However, Connor was wounded by one of the cannonballs.
- Connor: Need to get... inside the fort... I am in no condition... to fight... need to stay... away from the guards...
Connor reached the courtyard.
- Connor: Where are you, Charles...?
- Haytham: Gone.
Haytham punches Connor, who manages to counter and immobilize Haytham.
- Haytham: Come now, you cannot hope to match me, Connor. For all your skills, you're still but a boy - with so much left to learn.
Connor stabs Haytham in the arm.
- Connor: Give me Lee!
- Haytham: Impossible. He is the promise of a better future. The sheep need a shepherd.
- Connor: He has been dismissed and censured. He can do nothing for you now.
- Haytham: A temporary setback. He will be restored.
Haytham brandishes his sword and the two start fighting.
- Haytham: You act as though you have some right to judge. To declare me and mine wrong for the world. And yet everything I've shown you - all I've said and done - should CLEARLY demonstrate otherwise. We did not harm your people. We did not support the Crown. We worked to see this land united and at peace.
Connor and Haytham clash weapons until the cannonballs start hitting the place again, one hitting the duo as they fight.
- Connor: Ugh.... 'Surrender and I will spare you.
- Haytham: Brave words from a man about to die.
- Connor: You fare no better.
- Haytham: Even when your kind appears to triumph...Still we rise again. And do you know why? It is because the Order is born of a REALIZATION. We require no creed. No indoctrination by desperate old men. All we need is that the world be as it is. And THIS is why the Templars will never be destroyed!
Haytham starts to choke Connor, who quickly stabbed Haytham's throat.
- Haytham: Don't think I have any intention of caressing your cheek and saying I was wrong. I will not weep and wonder what might have been. I'm sure you understand. Still, I'm proud of you in a way. You have shown great conviction. Strength. Courage. All noble qualities. I should have killed you long ago.
- Connor: (Mohawk) G'oodbye, father.
Outcome
Connor managed to kill Haytham, but Charles Lee had already escaped.
