Machiavelli: Looking for Ezio. What of Cesare and Rodrigo?
Ezio: Cesare rode off before I could get close to him and Rodrigo was somewhere else entirely.
Machiavelli: That is odd. Rodrigo is usually at the Castello.
La Volpe: Very odd indeed.
Machiavelli: What a waste. No offense.
Caterina: None taken.
Ezio: With Cesare gone to Urbino, we must build our forces.
Machiavelli: I thought we intended to strike now?
Caterina: Impossible. Cesare commands a massive army in Romagna. You would never reach him.
Ezio: I say we work here. In Roma. Erode the Borgia’s influence while restoring our own. And in fact, I want to begin right now. Volpe, bring Claudia and Bartolomeo d'Alviano here. Machiavelli, meet me outside.
Ezio turns to walk out of the Guild and passes the doctor.
Ezio: Take care of her.
New Recruits
Ezio consults Machiavelli.
Outside, Ezio and Machiavelli walk together crossing a bridge over the Tiber River.
Ezio: Look. The Borgia rob everything from the people to maintain power.
Machiavelli: What do you intend to do?
Ezio: We will recruit them to our cause.
Machiavelli: You can not be serious.
Ezio: To win this war, Machiavelli, we need loyal soldiers. By recruiting enemies of the state, we arm those who have been disarmed by the Borgia.
Machiavelli: Go then. Recruit our first novices.
Ezio speaks with a male recruit.
Ezio walks off into the streets to find citizens in need, who are being troubled by the Borgia. He fights with the citizens and together they defeat the Borgia.
Man: Assassin!
Ezio: The Liberation of Roma has begun. If you choose to flee, do so now, but if you choose to fight, stand with me against the Borgia.
Man: I am tired of hiding in the shadows. I will join you.
