Description

While Jacob investigated Starrick's Soothing Syrup, Evie followed a lead on the Piece of Eden.

Dialogue

Jacob, Evie and Henry discussed their plans.

• Henry: This Soothing Syrup has become the only medicine available in Lambeth. It bears the Templar Grand Master's name.
• Jacob: About time for a visit to the doctor.
• Evie: I don't see that cure arriving any time soon.
• Jacob: And what exactly will you be doing, might I ask?
• Evie: You know very well, tracking down the Piece of Eden.
• Jacob: Enjoy your studies. I'll be out killing Templars.

Later, as Evie was inspecting documents, Jacob walked up behind her.

• Jacob: Ah, another exciting night home for Evie Frye.
• Evie: Just on my way out, actually. I've found the Piece of Eden.
• Jacob: What's this one going to do, hm? Heal the sick? Deflect bullets? Control the populace?
• Evie: They're dangerous objects, Jacob, especially in Templar hands.
• Jacob: Huh, you sound exactly like Father.
• Evie: If only. Lucy Thorne is expecting a shipment tonight. She's Starrick's expert in the occult. I'm nearly certain she is receiving the Piece of Eden Sir David Brewster mentioned.
• Jacob: Sounds like fun. Mind if I join you?
• Evie: Promise you will stick to the mission.
• Jacob: I swear.

Lucy Thorne with a Templar

Later that night, Jacob and Evie overlooked the docks where Thorne's shipment had arrived.

• Thorne: The contents of that box are worth more than your life and those of your entire family. Do you understand?
• Templar: Yes, Ms. Thorne.

The Templar turned to his subordinates, who were loading the chest onto a cart.

• Templar: Careful, there! And double the guard on that cart! Now, Ms. Thorne, there's the matter of some papers for Mr. Starrick. If you'll just come this way...
• Thorne: Very well, but make it quick.

Thorne and the Templar went into an alley.

• Evie: Whatever it is she's after, it's in that chest.
• Jacob: There are gunmen on the rooftops.
• Evie: Can you dispose of them before I reach the cart?
• Jacob: I was hoping for a challenge.

While Jacob went after the guards, Evie searched the chest. Inside, she found a set of documents and a book with an Assassin insignia on the cover. Jacob then appeared.

Evie inspecting the crate

• Jacob: Did you find it?
• Evie: Actually...

Thorne and the Templar ran towards the cart.

• Templar: There he is!
• Jacob: I think it's best we leave.
• Evie: What did you do?
• Jacob: It's hardly the time for questions.

Jacob mounted the cart and took the horse reins.

• Evie: Whoa!
• Thorne: Come on!

As Jacob drove the cart, Evie was forced to fight off the Templars following them.

• Evie: We need to get this crate back to a safe place!
• Jacob: What do you think I'm trying to do?
• Evie: At a guess, I'd say "kill us both"!

Evie executing one of the pursuers

Jacob called to the pursuing Templars.

• Jacob: If you really want to fight, come over here!
• Evie: Jacob!
• Jacob: Wager you can't hit my sister!
• Evie: Stop it!
• Jacob: Come over here and get us, then!
• Evie: Jacob, stop it!
• Jacob: My sister will give you a walloping!
• Evie: Jacob! Careful!
• Jacob: What is it?
• Evie: It's papers, Jacob. Documents. Research!
• Jacob: What are we supposed to do with papers?
• Evie: Read them. If only we had the time.
• Jacob: Then where's your Piece of Eden?
• Evie: Get us out of this and I might find out!
• Evie: Would you drive a little more carefully? You're endangering the documents!
• Jacob: Oh, poor documents! Perhaps you'd rather I just stop right here?

Evie ran out of bullets for her pistol.

• Evie: I need cartridges!
• Jacob: Use mine!
• Evie: I'm out of bullets!
• Jacob: Take my cartridge!
• Evie: I don't have enough bullets!
• Jacob: I've got more - just keep shooting!

Jacob and Evie escaping the Templars

As their train passed by below, Jacob stopped the cart.

• Jacob: We're going to have to jump.
• Evie: What about the chest?
• Jacob: Leave it! Jump! Now!

Jacob and Evie jumped onto the train below.

• Jacob: Well that was fun! Thanks for the invitation. Must do it again. Ha ha!
• Evie: Damn it.

Evie took out the book she had recovered from the chest. The train then stopped at a nearby station.

• Agnes: We fixed up the train for ye. Lick of paint, new rugs from Camden Lock and mah wee sister, the seamster, did a discount on the curtains.

Outcome

Although she was unable to keep the Templar chest, Evie recovered a book containing information on the Piece of Eden in London.

Trivia

• The title of the memory is a reference to the 1963 film The Great Escape.
