I feel different now.

Why the aggression?

-I'm an aggressive person.

What kind of prison is this?

It's not a prison, Cal.

You'll learn more if you cooperate.

Let me go.

I'm hungry.

Come with me.

LYNCH:

1979-present

What is this?

I know everything about you, Cal.

Your medical data,

your psychological profile,

the mutations in your MAO-A gene.

I know about the foster homes.

The juvenile homes.

You are a living proof of the

link between heredity and crime.

How did you find me?

We found Aguilar.

When you were arrested,

your DNA matched his.

Who is Aguilar?

-Your ancestor.

His family were Assassins.

They were burnt at the

stake by the Templars,

Torquemada and the black night

you saw, Ojeda.

Aguilar took up the Assassins' cause.

Do you go out much?

More than you.

And the others in here?

Are they the lab rats too?

They are Assassins,

murderers like their ancestors.

Like you, Cal.

All born with

predisposition to violence.

Murderer?

You killed the man.

-A pimp.

Would you kill again?

Happy families.

She must be very proud.

I wouldn't know.

She was killed by an Assassin.

Like your mother.

Sorry.

My old man killed my mother.

And how does that make you feel?

Like killing him.

Either we let it to effect

us for the rest of our lives,

or we just do something about it.

You turn to violence,

I turn to science.

It's the Apple of Eden, Cal.

I believe it exists.

The Bible tells us it contained the

seed of man's first disobedience.

But there are those of us

who believe that

God or some ancient civilization

have left us a road map

to understand why people are violent.

Aguilar was the last person

known to have had it in his possession.

We need you to find

out where he hid it.

I thought I was here to be cured.

-Violence is a disease.

Like cancer.

And like cancer,

we hope to control it one day.

Violence is what kept me alive.

Well technically, you're dead.

I'm hungry.

What's in it for me?

Once my research is complete,

there is no reason to keep you here.

I get my life back?

Better. A new one.

You are hungry.

You don't know who he is, what he is.

He is a dangerous man.

Give him little more time, Emir.

Man may prove that has

some noble blood in him yet.

How about, sir?

It's an open menu,

but we do recommend a chicken.

What can I get you, Mr. Lynch?

It's an open menu,

but we do recommend a chicken.

I'll steak.

-Steak for the pioneer.

Who are you?

They call me Moussa.

But my name is Baptiste.

I'm dead 200 years now.

Voodoo poisoner.

I'm harmless.

They're watching you.

Waiting to see who you are, pioneer.

Have you met him yet?

Have you met him yet?

We are the last to protect the Apple,

my friend.

Pick the wrong choice,

you'll send us all to infinity.

This...

belongs to you.

You're going to lead them right to it.

Ne, I'm going to eat it.

What the f*** is going on?

He has to go back in the Animus.

Now.

He needs more time

before he goes in again.

We don't have time.

Why?

I won't risk his life.

Then I'll have to find

someone else to do it.

You're up, slugger.

-I'm crazy.

I'm crazy.

Crazy for feeling so lonely.

They're getting him back in again.

We should stop him

before he betrays us.

Set the date for the six. If his

condition deteriorates, pull him out.

You father...

-I don't care what my father said.

What in the world did I do?

Cal, listen to me.

-I'm crazy for trying...

Listen to me. You have to stay

with Aguilar. -Crazy for crying...

Staying in synch-void

could be dangerous.

And I'm crazy for loving you...

Soon they will march on Granada.

Sultan Muhammad is weak.

He'll surrender the Apple

and betray the

Creed to save the prince.

The love makes us weak.

Gladly I'll sacrifice

my flesh and blood,

for survival of the Creed.

When I die today,

don't waste your tears for me.

The Lord spoke.

And he said:

"If a man abide not in me

he is cast into the fire

and he is burned!"

For decades,

you have lived in the world torn apart

by religious discord.

But soon, thanks to God

and Inquisition

we will purge this disease!

The sinners before you,

sought to defend the

heretic prince of Granada,

the last heathen stronghold

in our holy war.

So today,

before our king and queen

I swear we shall wash ourselves clean,

in the holy fire of God!

Behold...

God's will!

You will watch your mentor burn

and then you will die the slowest.

Give glory to the future.

Not to us.

He is synchronizing.

Damned heretics!

Don't let them escape!

Jump.

Complete desynch.

Get him down!

Call the medics!

Okay. It's okay.

Cal, stay with me. Cal.

Stay... It's okay.

Hurry up!

Okay. Okay.

Look at me.

Look at me.

I can't feel my legs.

Paralysis is temporal.

What's the bad news?

It caused a neurological split

but we got you through it.

This time.

I'm gonna die in here, aren't I?

No.

Not if you go in there

on your own free will.

I can't do this.

Yes, you can.

The Apple. You're the only

one left who can find it.

We can put an end to pain, Cal.

For everyone.

Where did you get this? -My father recovered

it from the scene of your mother's murder.

And brought it here for safekeeping.

-Safekeeping?

You stole it. -It's your mother's

necklace. I wanted you to have it.

Why was he there?

-To save her. -From whom?

Her own people. -What's

that got to do with you?

Assassins and Templars have

been at war for centuries.

I aim to change that.

That's right, I forgot.

We're here to combat aggression.

I don't think I like your methods.

I am a scientist.

I'm here to be cured of violence.

Who's gonna cure you?

We're feeding the beast.

We're making him stronger.

I am Dr Rikkin.

Alan.

I look after things here in Abstergo.

You like to keep the things

in the family, huh? -Yes.

I'm sorry if we caused

you any discomfort.

Is there anything I can do?

-How about you let me out of here?

That's something I can't manage.

I'm here to make a deal.

We need the Apple.

And we need you to get it for us.

You've been desynching in the Animus.

We need you not to do that.

Sending me back to the machine?

No, you've already shown us

what we needed to see.

Will you let us free then?

What do you hope to gain

from the newcomer?

Something that'll benefit us all.

You too, Moussa.

What have you done to them?

It's what happens if you don't enter

in regression on your own volition.

Do you recognize this?

It's Assassin's blade.

This is the actual one...

your father used to

take your mother's life.

He's here, you know?

Mother's death, Cal.

Not something a boy

should ever be made to see.

This is wrong.

You left me no choice.

He has to go in on his own free will,

you said that.

I had to negotiate.

-You mean manipulate?

I assured the Elders

we would have the Apple for London.

That's in two days.

He doesn't want to know his past,

or his father.

He wants to destroy them, both.

We're not in the business

of creating monsters.

We neither created them
