Assassin's Creed

Shit.

Mom?

Dad?

Your blood is not your own, Cal.

They found us.

Live in the shadows.

Go! Go, now!

You here to save my soul?

Something like that.

I understand it's your birthday.

Yeah.

The party's just getting started.

Sit down. You're making me nervous.

"Oh, Lord, wash away my sin...

"and I'll be clean...

"once again."

You're not much for the Bible, are you?

Be it known that Callum Lynch...

has been found guilty of capital murder...

and is sentenced to die on this day...

October 21st, 2016.

Does the prisoner wish to make a final statement?

Tell my father I'll see him in hell.

My name is Dr. Sofia Rikkin.

At 6:00 p.m. yesterday evening...

you were executed and pronounced dead.

Insofar as anyone in the world knows or cares...

you no longer exist.

It's better that you sit.

What you're feeling right now is normal, if uncomfortable.

Cal...

I'm here to help you.

And you're here to help me.

Let him go.

Don't touch him.

Go ahead, do it.

Jump.

You're not a prisoner here, Cal.

I'm here to protect you.

If you listen to me,

everything is going to make sense.

But you need to trust me.

Where am I?

You're in a rehabilitation wing

of the Abstergo Foundation in Madrid.

A private organization

dedicated to the perfection of humankind.

With your help...

we can pioneer new ways to eradicate violence.

I had this.

Your father wants him in.

He's my patient. This is my program.

Prepare the Animus.

Are the blades prepared? Right here.

They belonged to Aguilar, recovered at his burial site.

What are these?

Assume final preparations.

Andalucia, 1492. Record everything.

Arm's ready.

What is this?

I'm sorry, Cal. This is not the way I like to do things.

Then don't do it.

Insert epidural.

What do you want from me?

Your past.

Listen to me carefully, Cal.

You're about to enter the Animus.

What you're about to see, hear and feel...

are the memories of someone who's been dead for 500 years.

Wait a minute!

You can't change what happens, Cal.

Engage scanner.

Status?

Scanning DNA chains.

Searching for time frame.

First memory match locked.

DNA match identified.

Stay with it, Cal.

Attempt synchronization.

We found him.

We found Aguilar.

Synchronization achieved.

There.

Commence regression.

Stay with the memory, Cal.

Pull him!

Commence rehabilitation.

Run a systems check and log his condition.

You did well, Cal.

Looking back, it's clear

that the history of the world...

is a history of violence.

Last year, the economic impact of antisocial behavior...

was $9 trillion.

We believe that man today experiences...

a measure of aggression...

for which he finds no acceptable outlets.

Now imagine...

if all these costs could be channeled elsewhere...

So the regression went well?

Lynch is the one.

A direct descendant of Aguilar.

Everything was clear in there for the first time.

What we all dream of...

a more peaceful world.

I see you stole my lines again.

I only steal from the best.

And the Artifact?

The Apple.

It's within our grasp.

What happened in there? Why did you pull him?

I had to.

We have to keep him healthy.

Earn his confidence.

And I know he'll lead us to it.

Push him.

That's not how the Animus works.

Here you go.

Thank you.

1917, Rutherford splits the atom.

1953, Watson and Crick find the double helix.

2016...

my daughter finds the cure for violence.

You've always been brighter than me.

Now I'm late.

I have to report to the Elders.

Francisco Rizi's Grand Inquisition...

1492.

War, religious persecution...

and the closest Father Torquemada,

or any of our Order...

came to finding the Apple of Eden.

How are you, my friend?

Well...

Your Excellency.

Next week when the Elders meet...

we shall vote to discontinue your Abstergo project.

We feel that giving you three billion annually

would be better spent elsewhere.

Three billion is nothing compared to...

We've won.

People no longer care about their civil liberties.

They care about their standard of life.

The modern world has outgrown notions like freedom.

They're content to follow.

The threat remains...

while free will exists.

For centuries, we've tried,

with religion, with politics...

and now consumerism...

to eliminate dissent.

Isn't it time we gave science a try?

My daughter is closer than we've ever been.

How is your beautiful daughter?

She has traced the protectors of the Apple.

Where?

Andalucia, 1492.

The descendants?

All the bloodlines have died out.

Bar one.

We've traced his back 500 years...

to the Assassin's Brotherhood.

The hallucinations are what we call the Bleeding Effect.

Images of your regression...

layer themselves over your present-day field of vision.

If you allow me...

I can teach you how to control them.

Stand down. I have this.

Let her be.

What is it? The machine?

It's genetic memory.

By using the Animus...

we can relive lives of those who made us who we are.

What I saw in there...

it felt real.

It was.

In a way.

Don't mess with me.

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.

What is this?

I know everything about you, Cal.

Your medical data, your psychological profile...

the mutations in your MAOA gene.

I know about the foster homes, the juvenile halls.

You're living proof of the link

between heredity and crime.

How did you find me?

We found Aguilar.

And when you were arrested, your DNA matched his.

Who's Aguilar?

Your ancestor.
