Assassin's Creed Embers
Si
I'm taking Marcelo into town.
To see Machiavelli's play ?
Ezio, he's play closed three weeks ago.
I missed it.
We are visiting your sister. Keep an eye of Flavia, ok ?
Si, of course.
We will be back soon. Ciao amore mio.
A piu tardi. Be safe.
Flavia tesoro, stay where I can see you.
Leave her alone!
Lei gentili papa.
Go inside, Flavia.
I do not know what else to say. I'm sorry.
I do not want any part of this.
I want to understand.
Understand what ?
How to lead, to rebuild my order.
No! For me that is over.
Finito. I think you should go.
Ezio, she has come a long way.
Shao Yun. Did I say that right ?
Would you stay for supper.
Gra-zie!
Good. We have a spare bedroom. You're welcome to stay a few nights.
Are you okay ?
I can not seem to leave my past behind me.
I started this act of my life so late, Sofia.
I knew I would not have enough time to do everything.
Now I worry I do not have enough time to do anything.
Yun!
Shao Yun!
- Get out! - The wind... it opened the door.
Fuori!
I was wrong.
I see, I think you need to go.
My name is Ezio Auditore
when I was a young man
I had liberty but I did not see it.
I had a time but I did not know it.
And I had love but I did not feel it.
It would be thirty long years, before I understood the meaning of all three.
I want to understant like you do, to help my people.
I was an assassin for a long time, Yun.
And I know that any moment someone could come for me, for my family.
Do you see.
This is why I must be careful.
I usually hired people to help me with vengeance, the grape harvest, but...
Entra.
Let us get something to eat.
I would be lucky if this lasts three seasons.
This way. I want to show you something.
It is nice, no ?
Piena di vita.
Half of my family was murdered in this piazza
Right there.
Forty-five years ago.
But now, see it like that, full of life ...
I can not help but feel content.
Satisfied and so much pain has faded away.
The life of an assassin
is pain, Yun.
You suffer it, you inflict it, you watch it happen.
If they hope, that you can help it disappear in time.
Terrible irony!
And there you go.
All right,
I'm to drag this old man man back to his vila.
Yun, Andiamo! Hurry.
It was my mentor's wish to meet you.
We Left China together. In secret.
But these men, they caught him in Venice.
Who are they ?
Servants of the Emperor Jing Ji.
I was born a concubina.
My mentor freed me when I was young.
We returned later to save more girls, but they were ...
The Emperor is a cruel man.
He prefers Lingchi to the heading.
Lingchi
Slow process... many thousand cuts.
And then death.
Pack some bags, you must stay at Machiavelli's tonight
What happened ?
A misunderstanding.
Give me just a moment.
When I fought the Borgia,
revenge drove me move.
And my first impulse was to Aim for the head.
In time, however,
I learned that those who inspire fear
have more devoted followers than those who breach love.
Killing Rodrigo and Cesare would have accomplished nothing
without some equal measure of fraternity.
So, I spent many years teaching men and women
think and act for themselves.
First in Roma then Constantinopli.
Love binds our order together.
Love of people, of cultures, of the world.
Fight to preserve that which inspires hope
and you will win back you people.
It will take a long time.
Long time!
If you do it right, si. Get some rest.
Hurry
It is a long way home, no?
Much to see along the way. Thank you, Mentor.
Here. This may be of use one day.
No, only if you lose your way.
You should go.
We will be back just after dark
You should have stayed home.
I'm home.
We will be right over here.
Il diavolo! I hate this damn town.
I wish I was in Roma.
I heard the women there are ...
like currants in wine, you know.
Not like here, Firenze.
- I don't think Firenze is your problem. - Prego?
Coraggio vecchio.
Get some rest.
When I was a young man
I had liberty but I did not see it.
I had time but did not know it.
And I had love but I did not feel it.
Many decades would pass before I understood the meaning of all three.
And now,
in the twilight of my life,
this understanding has passed into ccontainment
Love, liberty and time ..
... once so disposable
are the fuels that drive me forward.
And love especially, mio caro.
For you, our children,
our brothers and sisters.
And for the vast and wonderful world that gave us life.
And keeps us guessing.
Endless affection, mio Sofia.
Forever yours
Ezio Auditore.
