'''A Governor No Longer''' was a virtual representation of one of [[Edward Kenway]]'s [[Genetic memory|genetic memories]], relived by [[abstergo Entertainment research analyst|a research analyst]] at [[Abstergo Entertainment]] through the [[Animus]].

==Description==
Edward, now supporting the [[Assassins]], set out to assassinate [[Woodes Rogers]].

==Dialogue==
*'''Edward:''' ''I know my targets by sight well enough. But how will I find them?''
*'''[[Ah Tabai]]:''' ''We have spies and informants in every city. Visit our [[Assassin bureau|bureaus]], and the Assassins there will guide you.''
*'''Edward:''' ''That fixes [[Laureano de Torres y Ayala|Torres]] and Rogers... but [[Bartholomew Roberts]] won't be near any city. Might take months to find him.''
*'''Ah Tabai:''' ''Or years. But you are a man of talent and quality, captain Kenway. I believe you will find him.''
*'''[[Adéwalé]]:''' ''And if you're at a loss, do not be afraid to call on your quartermaster for aid.''
*'''Edward:''' ''Quartermaster. What's our present course?''
*'''[[Anne Bonny|Anne]]:''' ''Due west, captain. If it's still [[Kingston]] we're sailing for.''
*'''Edward:''' ''It is indeed, Miss Bonny. Call it out.''
*'''Anne:''' ''Weigh anchor and let fall the courses, lads! We're sailing for [[Jamaica]]!''
*'''Edward:''' ''How does it feel to bark so loud?''
*'''Anne:''' ''I've barked louder, and to men twice as rough.''
*'''Edward:''' ''Tending bar at the old avery, you mean?''
*'''Anne:''' ''Among other places. And I sailed with [[Mary Read|Mary]] and [[Jack Rackham|Rackham]] for a time, remember?''
*'''Edward:''' ''Of course.''
*'''Anne:''' ''Mary did most of the captaining. Jack did most of the drinking.''
*'''Edward:''' ''Did Mary... did she ever tell you who it was that fathered her child?''
*'''Anne:''' ''It was a young fella. Sailed with us on that last voyage. Poor lad was killed fighting beside us. The only man not too drunk to stand up for himself.''
*'''Edward:''' ''There was so much about her I didn't know. I called her a friend. But was I one in return?''
*'''Anne:''' ''She thought the world of you, Edward. Have no worries about that.''
*'''Edward:''' ''Well, that's good to hear.''
Edward arrived in Kingston and met with the bureau leader.
*'''[[Antó]]:''' ''Captain Kenway.''
*'''Edward:''' ''You have something for me?''
*'''Antó:''' ''The present whereabouts of the [[Templars|Templar]] Woodes Rogers. He's attending a small political function, so do it clean.''
*'''Edward:''' ''The word is King George is calling Rogers back to [[London]].''
*'''Antó:''' ''Aye, not happy with his progress in [[Nassau]].''
*'''Anne:''' ''Still too many [[Piracy|pirates]] roaming about, from what I hear.''
*'''Antó:''' ''You'll need a disguise to fool the powderheads at this party. I suggest the visiting diplomat, [[Ruggiero Ferraro]]. He's been on our lists for some time.''
*'''Edward:''' ''Understood. Will you send this to [[United Kingdom|England]] for me?''
*'''Antó:''' ''Aye. A [[Ships|ship]] leaves tomorrow.''
*'''Edward:''' ''[[Caroline Scott-Kenway|Caroline Scott Kenway]]. Hawkin's Lane, Bristol.''
Edward set out to find and tail the [[Italy|Italian]] diplomat.
*'''Ferraro:''' ''Stop pesting me, English dogs! Are you my escorts or my captors! We'll go when I'm damned good and ready! (Very well) I am ready. We go. There is no beauty to this city. No expression of joy. No aesthetic plan! Ugh. You walk your streets like animals! Like cattle with no sense of decorum! Idiots! You're all idiots! How you English believe you can subdue the world is beyond me! Ah! Praise God for imported wines. Who can drink rum more than once a month? (My God)! It is revolting. Bastardo! Now I am lost! How preposterous this city is! All straight lines and rigid blocks, and still no sense of order! Oh, how I miss the warm and winding streets of [[Florence|Firenze]]. How I miss culture! Damn this sweltering heat. Another quaff, I think. Ah! That hits the right note. Mm... Sangiovese, the finest grape in the world.''
Edward killed the man and took his clothes, after which he made his way to the party.
*'''Edward:''' ''(Hello.) Forgive the lateness of my arrival. I am Ruggiero Ferraro.''
*'''Soldier:''' ''Aye, Mister Ferraro. Not a problem.''
*'''Rogers:''' ''Ladies and gentlemen, a toast to my brief tenure as governor of [[the Bahamas]]! For, under my watch, no less than three-hundred avowed pirates took the King's Pardon and swore fealty to the crown! And yet, for all my successes, his Majesty has seen fit to sack me! And call me home to England. Brilliant! God bless the fucker! Therefore, hooray! Hooray for the ignoble and ignorant prigs who rule the world with sticks up their arses! Hooray! Thank you for hosting my little send-off, Simpkins. I haven't been too rambunctions, have I?''
*'''Simpkins:''' ''A little free with your speech today, but nothing to be hanged for.''
*'''Rogers:''' ''Why, then how's this: soon all the monarchies of the world will be obsolete. And when that day comes, men like Torres and myself will reveal ourselves as the architects of their undoing.''
*'''Simpkins:''' ''Oh, christ, Rogers. You're a bold one.''
*'''Lady:''' ''And how is Missus Rogers these days?''
*'''Rogers:''' ''I haven't the faintest idea, and I don't intend to inquire any further. We separated almost five years ago, and both our lives have been the better for it.''
*'''Lady:''' ''Forgive my curiosity, governor.''
*'''Rogers:''' ''Perhaps I'll be more candid later, when the remainder of my reason has left me.''
Edward stabbed Rogers with the [[Hidden Blade]].
*'''Edward:''' ''You was a privateer once. How is it you lack so much respect for sailors only trying to make their way in this world?''
*'''Rogers:''' ''You couldn't possibly understand my motives, cretin! You, who've spent a whole lifetime dismantling everything that makes our civilization shine.''
*'''Edward:''' ''But I do understand. I've seen the [[Observatory]], and I know its power. You'd use that [[Crystal Skulls|device]] to spy and blackmail and sabotage.''
*'''Rogers:''' ''Yes, and yet all for a greater purpose. To ensure justice. To snuff out lies and to seek truth.''
*'''Edward:''' ''There's no man on Earth who needs that power.''
*'''Rogers:''' ''Yet you suffer the outlaw Roberts to use it!''
*'''Edward:''' ''No. I'm taking it back. And if you tell me where he is, I'll stop the man.''
*'''Rogers:''' ''Here at the edge of a blade, I find a friend in you at last! [[Príncipe]], you mad bastard. Our best sources say Príncipe...''
Edward escaped the area.
*'''Edward:''' ''It's done.''
*'''Anne:''' ''Where now?''
*'''Edward:''' ''Grab your kit and pack well. We're sailing for [[Africa]].''

==Outcome==
Edward attempted to assassinate Woodes Rogers, and learned the possible location of Bartholomew Roberts.

'''Mary Read''' (unknown – 1721) was an [[United Kingdom|English]] [[Piracy|pirate]] and member of the [[Assassins|Assassin Order]], trained by the [[Mentor]] of the [[Caribbean]] Assassins, [[Ah Tabai]]. She was also one of the founders of the Pirate Republic of [[Nassau]].

In order to facilitate her career as a pirate, she posed as '''James Kidd''', an illegitimate son of the late [[William Kidd]].

==Biography==
===Early life===
Little is known about Mary's childhood years; it was suggested by Charles Johnson, author of ''{{Wiki|A General History of the Pyrates}}'', that Mary's mother began dressing her in boy's clothes at an early age to pass her off as the son of another man, but the legitimacy of this claim is unknown.<ref name="AC4">''[[Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag]]''</ref>

In her teen years, Mary began a career as a sailor that eventually saw her granted a position with the [[Royal Navy]]. There she met her first husband, a Flemish soldier and comrade; however, he was killed soon after their wedding. With little life left for her in Europe, Mary set sail for the West Indies, where she resumed the practice of dressing as a man and took on the alias of James Kidd.<ref name="AC4"/>

A short time before the establishment of the Pirate Republic in Nassau, Mary met Ah Tabai in Spanish Town, [[Jamaica]]. She trusted him at once, sensing a "sort of wisdom" in him, and became an Assassin soon after.<ref name="AC4"/>

===Life of piracy===
In 1715, Mary, under the alias of James Kidd, met with captains [[Edward Kenway]], [[Edward Thatch]] and [[Benjamin Hornigold]] in the town of Nassau.<ref name="AC4"/>

Edward expressed an interest in locating a place called the [[Observatory]], which Mary claimed to be a myth, likening it to the [[Fountain of Youth]] or El Dorado. Edward subsequently followed Mary to Andreas Island to take part in a lucrative plantation raid, and the two struck up a friendly camaraderie.<ref name="AC4"/>

Following the acquisition of Nassau by pirate forces, Edward, Thatch, Hornigold and Mary met again at Salt Lagoon, to discuss how to better protect their "Pirate Republic" from British recapture. Thatch proposed they capture a Spanish [[Man O' War|Galleon]], which Edward accomplished by assassinating the [[Templars|Templar]] [[Julien du Casse]], allowing Thatch to commandeer his ship.<ref name="AC4"/>

[[File:This Old Cove 8.png|thumb|250px|left|Edward and Mary looking at the Assassin bureaus map]]
Edward then took the island of [[Great Inagua]] for himself. There, Mary led Edward to a [[Mayan stelae|Mayan stela]] in the jungle, asking him to complete the puzzle and goading him into using [[Eagle Vision]], which she described as a "kind of shimmering" and "the light of life".<ref name="AC4"/>

After confirming her suspicions about Edward's abilities, she showed him a set of tunnels leading to du Casse's manor, where they discovered maps pertaining to the location of [[Assassin bureau]]s throughout the Caribbean. Edward admitted to selling the maps to the Templars himself, and Mary, perturbed, suggested he should warn the targeted Assassins.<ref name="AC4"/>

As she was about to leave port, Edward claimed that she knew more about the Observatory than she had previously suggested. In response, Mary advised him to meet her in [[Tulum]] in several weeks' time.<ref name="AC4"/>

===Tulum and the Sage===
{{Quote|We're Assassins and we follow a Creed, aye. But it does not command us to act or submit...only to be wise.|Mary Read explaining the Creed to Edward, 1716.|Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag}}
Weeks later, Mary rendezvoused with Edward near the Assassin stronghold on Tulum, where he angrily berated her for forcing him to sneak through hostile territory, past the Assassin sentries.<ref name="AC4"/>

Though the Assassin Mentor, Ah Tabai, was furious with Edward for his ignorant collaboration with the Templars and killing the Assassins in [[Havana]], Mary calmly informed him of Edward's possession of "the sense" and requested Edward be allowed inside an important Mayan temple.<ref name="AC4"/>

[[File:The Sage's Buried Secret 6.png|thumb|250px|Edward and Mary in the Mayan temple]]
After claiming he would recognize the [[Sage]], [[Bartholomew Roberts]], if he saw the man again, Edward was permitted into the ruin. Mary explained the nature of [[the Creed]] to Edward while leading him to a central antechamber, but was ultimately dissatisfied with his interpretation; although Edward took an interest in the Creed's second clause, Mary asserted that he did not actually understand what it meant. She also revealed that the Assassins had targeted Edward for assassination following his actions in Havana, and that it was only on her request that they had relented.<ref name="AC4"/>

At the center of the temple, they eventually unlocked a bust of the Sage, which Edward confirmed exactly resembled Roberts. Returning to confirm their discovery with Ah Tabai, Mary and Edward found that British soldiers had taken the compound, capturing many Assassins and Edward's crew. After fighting off the British, Mary spotted [[Laurens Prins]], a [[Netherlands|Dutch]] slaver and an elusive assassination target, leaving the area by ship.<ref name="AC4"/>

Prior to Edward's dismissal from Tulum, Mary brought him to a temple at the center of the compound, explaining how she became an Assassin and noting the long-standing nature of the war between Assassins and Templars. Inside the temple, she showed him a door that could be unlocked with Mayan keystones located via the stelae. She encouraged him to seek out the keystones, claiming that unlocking the door would garner the respect of the Assassins in Tulum, and grant him [[Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag outfits#Mayan outfit|a mysterious and ancient reward.]]<ref name="AC4"/>

===Pursuit of Laurens Prins===
{{Quote|Just my bloody luck. TWO major targets, and I'm kept from killing 'em both.|Mary on Prins and Torres, 1717.|Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag}}
The next year, Mary ran into Edward in [[Kingston]], both of them following Prins and [[Laureano de Torres y Ayala]], the Templar [[Grand Master]]. Mary was prepared to assassinate her two targets, but Edward restrained her, urging her to wait until Prins led them to Roberts, whom the slaver held prisoner.<ref name="AC4"/>

Mary reluctantly consented to go along with his plan. However, Prins detected them, forcing the two to run. Mary attempted to assassinate Prins against Edward's wishes, but he forcibly prevented her from doing so, insisting they try to use Prins to reach Roberts again. Enraged, Mary nonetheless agreed to rendezvous with Edward at Prins' manor, demanding he assist with the assassination.<ref name="AC4"/>

[[File:Unmanned 3.png|thumb|250px|left|Mary revealing her true identity to Edward]]
That night, the two met atop a windmill off Prins' property. Surveying the manor, Mary noted that it would take more than stealth for them to reach Prins. She suggested that she distract the guards, giving Edward a chance to neutralize them. Mary then removed her bandanna and reddened her lips with her own blood, revealing her identity as a woman, much to Edward's surprise.<ref name="AC4"/>

Mary then approached the estate's gates, feigning injury, and killed the guards that came to her aid. She infiltrated the manor and found Roberts, only to discover he was working for Prins. He held her at gunpoint at the same time Edward assassinated Prins, but she escaped after Roberts informed Edward of his true allegiance. Roberts then shot the alarm bell and made his escape, followed shortly thereafter by his two would-be rescuers.<ref name="AC4"/>

After reaching safety and regrouping with Edward, Mary confessed her true name at his request. However, she warned him not to tell a soul, or she would "unman" him.<ref name="AC4"/>

===Interim period===
In 1718, Mary arrived in Inagua to find Edward recovering from a wild party he had hosted, reacting with disgust to his continued indifference to finding a greater purpose. The two did not meet again until after Edward escaped [[Isla Providencia]], where he and [[Charles Vane]] had been marooned by [[Jack Rackham]]. Edward returned to Great Inagua to find that Rackham had barely lasted a few months as captain before Adéwalé and Mary overpowered him.<ref name="AC4"/>

Edward then returned to his search for Roberts in hopes the man would lead to the [[Observatory]]. Mary pleaded with him to forget about the gold and instead work with the Assassins, but he ignored her.<ref name="AC4"/>

During Edward's search, Mary became better acquainted with [[Anne Bonny]], a barmaid in Nassau, with whom she struck up a lasting bond. Anne's partner, Rackham, threatened by Mary's attentions, attempted to start a brawl with her. Unwilling to take part in a meaningless altercation, Mary was compelled to reveal her true gender, and soon her real identity was well-known throughout the West Indies.<ref name="AC4"/>

===Capture and trial===
In October of 1719, while she was sailing as a part of Jack Rackham's crew, their ship was attacked by a sloop that was commissioned by the Governor of Jamaica with the intent to take out Rackham. Being that most of the crew were drunk, many of the pirates provided little resistance, with only Mary, Anne, and an unknown man fighting to their full potential.<ref name="AC4"/>

Eventually, the crew was imprisoned and sentenced to be hanged. At the trial, Bonny and Read revealed that they were pregnant, which led to their executions being delayed, since British law prevented women from being executed while they were expecting. Mary and Anne were then moved to a prison in Kingston, and four months later, Mary gave birth to a girl. However, in accordance with the pardon, her child was taken away, and Mary became ill due to the prison's unsanitary conditions.<ref name="AC4"/>

The two women were soon rescued by Edward and Ah Tabai, who successfully infiltrated the prison and took out the guards stationed inside. Despite this, Mary was too ill to leave, even with Edward's insistence. With her dying breath, Mary asked him to redeem himself for her sake, and said she would always be with him. Refusing to leave her behind, Edward carried her body to Ah Tabai's boat, and she was taken to Tulum for burial.<ref name="AC4"/>

==Characteristics and personality==
[[File:Proper Defenses 4.png|thumb|250px|right|Mary with Adéwalé at Salt Lagoon]]
Mary was an easygoing and adventurous woman, readily presenting as a man to facilitate her career and life as a pirate. Though she was one of the de facto leaders of the Pirate Republic in Nassau, she largely left its governing to Thatch and Hornigold, focusing her energy on external pursuits.

Deeply dedicated to the Assassin Order, Mary believed the Creed exemplified a love for life and liberty that crossed cultural bounds, and was driven in her efforts to support their cause. She intensely pursued her targets, chasing one down in the street and using her feminine appearance to trick the guards at Laurens Prins' estate.

Mary truly believed that there was something special about Edward Kenway; she spoke on his behalf to her Assassin brethren, and tried repeatedly to convince him to look beyond his selfish greed for treasure. She often became irritated with Edward's disinterest and behavior, believing he was not living up to his full potential. However, she remained hopeful that he would see the error of his ways and join the Assassins in time, a belief that was realized after, and because of, her death.

==Trivia==
*It was possible to leave Mary's body behind in the area between the prison and the boat, initiating a slightly different cutscene.
*Originally, Edward was meant to witness and participate in Mary Read and Anne Bonny's battle against the British, ending with their imprisonment, but this idea was dropped during the early stages of development. <ref>[https://acinitiates.com/forum/discussion/3904/page/9#/9 Darby McDevitt - Forum Q&A]</ref>

'''To Suffer Without Dying''' was a virtual representation of one of [[Edward Kenway]]'s [[Genetic memory|genetic memories]], relived by [[Abstergo Entertainment research analyst|a research analyst]] at [[Abstergo Entertainment]] through the [[Animus]].

==Description==
Edward, having been imprisoned, worked with [[Ah Tabai]] to rescue [[Mary Read]] and [[Anne Bonny]].

==Dialogue==
Edward was led into the trial of Mary Read and Anne Bonny.
*'''Judge:''' ''The charges, sir. I'll hear them again.''
*'''Official:''' ''Milord. His Majesty's Court contends that the defendants, Mary Read and Anne Bonny, did [[Piracy|piratically]], feloniously, and in an hostile manner, attack, engage, and take seven certain fishing boats... Secondly, this court contends that the defendants lurked upon the high seas and did set upon, [[Firearms|shoot at]], and take, two certain [[Merchants|merchant]] sloops, thus putting the captains and their crews in corporeal fear of their lives.''
*'''[[Woodes Rogers|Rogers]]:''' ''Edward James Kenway. Born of motley parentage in {{Wiki|Swansea}}... to an [[United Kingdom|English]] [[Bernard Kenway|father]] and Welsh [[Linette Hopkins|mother]]. Married at eighteen to Miss [[Caroline Scott-Kenway|Caroline Scott]], now estranged.''
*'''[[Laureano de Torres y Ayala|Torres]]:''' ''She is a beautiful woman, I'm told. But not at all well these days.''
*'''Edward:''' ''If you touch her, you bastards, I'll-''
*'''Torres:''' ''Quite a surprise finding you here, rotting in a [[Jamaica]]n prison. We heard rumours that you had taken up with the pirate [[Bartholomew Roberts|Roberts]].''
*'''Rogers:''' ''If you know the [[Observatory]]'s location, tell us now and you'll be out of here in a flash.''
*'''Torres:''' ''Rogers can hold these British hounds at bay for a time. But this will be your fate if you fail to cooperate.''
*'''Judge:''' ''...You, Mary Read and Anne Bonny, are to go from hence to the place from whence you came, and from thence to the place of execution, where you shall be severally hanged by the neck till you are severally dead, dead, dead.''
*'''Anne:''' ''O rot!''
*'''Judge:''' ''May God in his infinite mercy be merciful to each of your souls...''
*'''Mary:''' ''We're pregnant! Do you all hear that?''
*'''Judge:''' ''What the devil did she say?''
*'''Official:''' ''They plead their bellies, Milord.''
*'''Anne:''' ''Aye! You can't hang a woman quick with child, can ya?''
*'''Judge:''' ''Quiet! Quiet! If what you claim is true, then your executions will be stayed, but ONLY until your terms are up.''
*'''Anne:''' ''Then I'll be up the duff the next time you come knocking!''
*'''Judge:''' ''Remove them!''
Four months after the trial, Edward was locked in one of [[Kingston]]'s gibbets.
*'''Soldier 1:''' ''What's your name, pillock? Kenmore? Conway?''
*'''Soldier 2:''' ''It's [[Duncan Walpole|Walpole]], ain't it?''
*'''Soldier 1:''' ''Walpole? Where'd you get that?''
*'''Soldier 2:''' ''That's the rumor going 'round. As dirty and daft a pirate as ever sailed these [[Caribbean|West Indies]].''
*'''Soldier 1:''' ''Well, whatever his name, you're to make sure he suffers without dying. Orders from the governor. And back to the prisons at sundown.''
*'''Soldier 2:''' ''And massage his feet if he's aching, shall I?''
*'''Edward:''' ''Jaysus, a shit detail as ever was.''
*'''Soldier 1:''' ''This is a warning!''
Edward rattled his cage to distract the guards.
*'''Edward:''' ''Oy!''
*'''Soldier 2:''' ''Stop your twaddle!''
*'''Edward:''' ''Oy! Water!''
*'''Soldier 1:''' ''Quiet!''
*'''Edward:''' ''Oy!''
*'''Soldier 2:''' ''Quiet you!''
Ah Tabai assassinated the guards.
*'''Ah Tabai:''' ''Good morning, captain Kenway. I have a gift for you.''
Ah Tabai took the cage key from one of the soldiers' bodies, and tossed it to Edward, who released himself.
*'''Ah Tabai: '''''Do not mistake my purpose here. I have come for Anne and Mary, and you owe me nothing for this. But if you would lend me your aid, I can promise you safe passage from this place.''
*'''Edward:''' ''I'll need weapons.''
*'''Ah Tabai:''' ''You are comfortable with these, I am told...''
Edward was given two [[Hidden Blade]]s, a [[blowpipe]], and a supply of darts for the latter.
*'''Ah Tabai:''' ''We must hurry.''
Edward found [[Jack Rackham]]'s corpse in a gibbet.
*'''Edward:''' ''You weren't much of a friend, Jack Rackham. Nor an able sailor neither. But you were strange and lively, and you made me laugh more than once. And that's enough to make me sorry for seeing you like this. I hope you found a lasting peace, down there, among the dead.''
Edward and Ah Tabai entered the prison complex.
*'''[[Charles Vane]]:''' ''Here's a health to the king and a lasting peace / To faction an end, to wealth increase; / Come, let us drink it while we have breath, / For there's no drinking after death, / and he that will this health deny, down among the dead men, / Down among the dead men, / Down, down, down, down, / Down among the dead men let him lie.''
*'''Edward:''' ''Hello, Vane. I caught wind you'd been discovered and brought here. Didn't hear what happened after though. Best of luck to you mate. I wish we'd parted as friends.''
*'''Anne:''' ''You spineless cockrobin! Help her, for God's sake. Fetch help, somebody! Mary's ill! Somebody please!''
*'''Soldier 3:''' ''Hush your pie hole, bloody mick!''
*'''Anne:''' ''Fuck off, you! Ahoy! My friend's just had a child, and she's... and she's poorly now! Help, somebody!''
*'''Soldier 4:''' ''Shut your bleeding trap, or I'll fill it my own way!''
*'''Anne:''' ''(English) bastards! Murderers! Grown men, the pair of you, standing over a dying lady like she was a piece of meat!''
*'''Soldier 3:''' ''A dying pirate! There's your difference!''
*'''Soldier 4:''' ''Aye. If she dies from childbirth, all the better, eh? God carries out her sentence and our hands are clean.''
*'''Anne:''' ''You bastards! Somebody help!''
Edward dispatched the two guards.
*'''Edward:''' ''Mary? Mary, it's me! Edward!''
*'''Anne:''' ''Edward? Who's this fella!''
*'''Edward:''' ''It's all right, Anne. He's a friend. What's wrong with Mary?''
*'''Anne:''' ''She's ill.''
*'''Edward:''' ''And her child?''
*'''Anne:''' ''They took her. No idea where. Ah!''
*'''Ah Tabai:''' ''I know it pains, M'lady. But we must be silent.''
*'''Edward:''' ''Can you walk? Lean on me, Mary. Come on.''
*'''Mary:''' ''I can't...''
*'''Soldier 5:''' ''Search every cell!''
*'''Edward:''' ''Come on. That's it. You're all right.''
*'''Mary:''' ''Stop! Stop. Please.''
*'''Edward:''' ''I ain't leaving you, dammit! Lift your arm!''
*'''Mary:''' ''It's no good.''
*'''Soldier 6:''' ''There's no one here!''
*'''Edward:''' ''I ain't leaving you nowhere! No bloody way!''
*'''Mary:''' ''Put me down, Edward! Don't die on my account. Go.''
*'''Edward:''' ''You're such a pain in the arse. Damn it, you should have been the one to outlast me.''
*'''Mary:''' ''I've done my part. Will you?''
*'''Edward:''' ''If you came with me, I could. Mary?''
*'''Mary:''' ''I'll be with you, Kenway. I will.''
Mary passed away and Edward carried her body outside.
*'''Soldier 7:''' ''Fan out! Search every nook and cranny!''
Edward met with Ah Tabai and Anne Bonny.
*'''Anne:''' ''What's happened with Mary? What's wrong?''
*'''Ah Tabai:''' ''Is she gone?''
*'''Anne:''' ''Oh, no... Oh, God!''
*'''Ah Tabai:''' ''What will you do now?''
*'''Edward:''' ''Nothing sensible.''
*'''Ah Tabai:''' ''You haven't earned these, but they suit you. Good fortune to you, Edward Kenway.''

==Outcome==
Edward escaped captivity, along with Anne Bonny, but Mary Read died after childbirth.
