Intervention
Intervention is a mission in Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood.
Micheletto Corella confesses to Ezio Auditore that to ensure Pietro died, he poisoned his wine. After dealing with him, Ezio orders his apprentices to cut Pietro down from the cross.
Dialogue
- Ezio: Cut him down. (To his recruits.)
- Pietro: This was not in the rehearsal!
Two recruits throw knives at the rope holding Pietro to the cross. Ezio lifts him from the ground as he appears too weak.
- Ezio: Hold off the guards.
Ezio runs through the crowd while carrying Pietro. A few mercenaries enter the Colosseum.
- Mercenary: Ezio, we are here to help!
- Ezio: Stop the guards!
- Pietro: Who are you?
- Ezio: Your savior.
The Doctor
Ezio gets Pietro to a doctor near the Colosseum;
- Ezio: He has been poisoned.
- Doctor: That pallor. Cantarella. Drink this.
He gives Pietro a vial.
- Ezio: Hurry!
- Doctor: Give him a moment.
A short time later.
- Pietro: I feel slightly better.
- Doctor: Leeches will lead to a full recovery.
- Pietro: I cannot thank you enough. I---
- Ezio: The key to the Castel Sant'Angelo. Now.
- Pietro: What are you talking about? I'm simply a poor actor--
- Ezio: Cesare knows about you and Lucrezia.
- Pietro: Here.
Don't I know you?
Pietro hands over his key to Ezio. Ezio then notices a familiar thief.
- Ezio: Un momento! (Hey!) You were at the Villa Auditore during the attack!
The thief starts to run away, and orders the nearby guards around the Colosseum to attack Ezio. However, he is able to avoid the guards, and continues to chase the thief, eventually tackling him.
- Ezio: Why did you run?
- Thief: I--
Ezio takes the letter the thief was holding and notices the Seal of the Borgia, and realises that this thief was the traitor all along. Ezio then threatens to kill him with his hidden blade.
- Ezio: You are the traitor, not Machiavelli. (Pointing his hidden blade at the thief's throat.)
- Thief: Long live the Borgia! (Pierces himself in the throat with Ezio's blade.)
- Ezio: Merda! I was right. I have to stop Volpe before he gets to Machiavelli.
Volpe and Machiavelli
Ezio hurries to Tiber Island to stop La Volpe from killing Machiavelli. When he reaches La Volpe, he is ready to strike Machiavelli from behind, but Ezio quickly approaches, and stops him.
- Ezio: I have discovered the traitor.
- La Volpe: What?
- Ezio: One of our men, he was at the Villa attack. Here, he carried this letter. (Shows the letter taken from the thief.)
- La Volpe: My God!
- Machiavelli: This is good news.
- Ezio: More than you know.
- La Volpe: I am once again in your debt, Ezio.
- Ezio: What debt is there amongst friends who trust one another?
- La Volpe: Yes. Thank you for relaying the message in time. (To Machiavelli) Come Niccolò, it has been far too long since we've talked.
- Machiavelli: I heard the Colosseum Passion Play took an unexpected turn this evening.
- La Volpe: Really?
- Machiavelli: It seems Gesù Cristo was resurrected three days early.
Outcome
- Ezio Auditore obtains the key to the Castel Sant'Angelo, and the traitor who has been informing the Borgia of the Assassins every move is killed.
- Machiavelli gains La Volpe's trust.
