• Baltazar
  What do you want to talk about that has brought you all the way here?

• 1511
• Alvero
  My father.

• 1512
• Baltazar
  ...What do you want me to say, after all this time?

• 1513
• What question do you want to ask?

• 1514
• The truth behind Diego's pepper monopoly.

• 1515
• Reason for not being able to totally trust Diego.

• 1516
• Reason for leaving Diego behind.

• 1517
• Baltazar
  Anything else you want to ask?

• 1518
• What question do you want to ask?

• 1519
• Reason for not being able to totally trust Diego.

• 1520
• Reason for leaving Diego behind.

• 1521
• Stop asking questions.

• 1522
• Alvero
  Well...
  my father has recently forcefully taken control of the rights to the pepper market.
  But he won't tell me why.
  Do you know any reason why he would do something like that?

• 1523
• Baltazar
  I did hear that he was turning a nice profit.
  But I don't have any interest in his trading.
  You probably know more than I do.

• 1524
• Alvero
  I suppose I can...

• 1525
• Baltazar
  That's what you came to ask?

• 1526
• Alvero
  ...No, that's not it.

• 1527
• Alvero
  Can you tell me why, seventeen years ago, you where unable to trust my father and left him behind...?

• 1528
• Baltazar
  I don't see why I need to tell you this now...

• 1529
• Alvero
  This can't be happening...

• 1530
• Alvero
  You left my father seventeen years ago...
  Please, tell me.
  Tell me about the different paths you and my father took.

• 1531
• Baltazar
  So what will you do if you find out?

• 1532
• Alvero
  ...I need something.
  Something to base my continuing faith in my father on...
  You still think of him as your friend, don't you?

• 1533
• Baltazar
  ...Huh.
  Very well.

• 1534
• Baltazar
  It was after the premises were burnt down and we moved to Lisbon.
  I told Diego that I was leaving the company...

• 1535
• Baltazar
  What's the point in trying to be friends with the aristocrats? Nothing will change even if we became rich! If you're not interested in getting revenge, fine.
  I'm going to become a mercenary and continue my hunt.

• 1536
• Diego
  ...Go if you want to.
  Don't forget that Hayreddin now controls most of the pirates in North Africa and has become very powerful.
  You won't stand a chance if you take him on alone.

• 1537
• Baltazar
  ...What? You're changing your mind just because you think you can't win!?

• 1538
• Diego
  ...as written in Deuteronomy in the Old Testament, "To me belonged vengeance and recompense; their foot shall slide in due time: for the day of their calamity is at hand, and the things that shall come upon them make haste." Retribution shall come upon them, and all I need do is wait for that time to come.

• 1539
• Baltazar
  Hmph! You rely too much on God...
  If that's how you genuinely feel, I'm afraid I can't work with you!

• 1540
• Baltazar
  He said "wait for the time to come," I remember it clearly.
  So I thought that even if we went our separate ways, one day we would fight together again.

• 1541
• Alvero
  Is that what Irene meant about losing his footing...?

• 1542
• Baltazar
  ...She can't keep her mouth closed, that one.
  You need hear no more than that, anyway.
  It will only shake your resolve to believe in Diego.

• 1543
• Alvero
  ......

• 1544
• Alvero
  My resolve will never be shaken...
  never!

• 1545
• Baltazar
  Is there still something you want to ask?

• 1546
• How will you respond?

• 1547
• Your suspicions concerning Diego.

• 1548
• I don't have any more questions.

• 1549
• Baltazar
  Huh.
  Leave, then.

• 1550
• Alvero
  ...Please, I'm begging you.
  Tell me what suspicions you have about my father.
  Anything, even the smallest thing, might help me get closer to what he is planning.

• 1551
• Baltazar
  What will you do, then, if after learning everything you decide that Diego has indeed changed? Do you have the resolve to stop him?

• 1552
• Alvero
  ...I do.
  I'll hit him with all the proof and stop him! That's what my mother would want, too, surely!

• 1553
• Baltazar
  ...Very well.
  Then I'll tell you everything.

• 1554
• Baltazar
  I found a letter addressed to Diego from Hayreddin aboard one of the Barbary ships I captured.
  The letter thanked him for his monetary support and promised the ships from his company would be left alone.

• 1555
• Alvero
  No...! Would my father really have joined with my mother's killer...?! It is true, a while back...
  we dealt with a hostage situation, and when Hayreddin saw my father's crest on our cargo, it stopped him from stealing them...
  but still...!

• 1556
• Alvero
  ...!

• 1557
• Baltazar
  It sounds like the dogs have caught my scent.
  Time to leave this island, then.
  Player, Alvero, with me!

• 1558
• Ship's Sailors
  Big trouble!

• 1559
• Ship's Sailors
  The personal forces of the Duke of Alba have got the whole town surrounded for leagues.

• 1560
• Ship's Sailors
  We'll be torn apart as soon as we set sail.
  I never expected to face such a massive force...!

• 1561
• Baltazar
  Hah! That one such as the Duke of Alba would mobilize such a fleet, all to capture a single orca! I'm honoured! Men, prepare for battle!

• 1562
• Ship's Sailors
  ...Yes, sir!

• 1563
• Baltazar
  ...Alvero, Player.
  I will draw them off.
  Use that chance to break through their net and escape.

• 1564
• Alvero
  That's crazy...
  you cannot hope to take the whole fleet on alone! I will fight alongside you!

• 1565
• Baltazar
  Hah! I don't need the help of someone such as yourself, not with a fleet of such insignificant size! One ship is more than enough!

• 1566
• Alvero
  ...No...! You want to die...?!

• 1567
• Baltazar
  Hah! I will not die until I have the head of Hayreddin, fear not! Enough talk, just get back to Lisbon! Get back, and see the truth of Diego with your own eyes!

• 1568
• Baltazar
  You're still here?! Go! Flee this place!

• 22131
• In Jamaica, Alvero asked Baltazar why despite having such a turbulent relationship with Diego for the past 17 years, he still considered him as a "best friend." In response, Baltazar spoke of the time he left the company and fled to Spain.

• 22132
• Having moved his trading hall to Lisbon, Diego was determined to give up all wrongdoing, instead pouring his efforts into his status and managing the company.
  Having lost faith in his friend, Baltazar decided to become a mercenary in order to continue his crusade.
  However, Diego refused to budge, and told him that he could not win this battle alone.
  He then quoted the bible, stating that "...
  In the Old Testament, God in the book of Deuteronomy says: "It is mine to avenge; I will repay.
  In due time their foot will slip;" "their day of disaster is near and their doom rushes upon them." ...They will be judged eventually.
  I shall wait until that day comes." Therefore, Baltazar believed that the day when they could fight alongside one another would come again.
  However, after saying all of that, Baltazar's expression immediately changed and he grew quiet.
  Alvero asked Baltazar what was the matter, but Baltazar remained silent.

• 22133
• Alvero continued his questioning, to which Baltazar replied, "And once you know all of the answers, and Diego changes his mind, what will you do then? Are you prepare to do what it takes to stop him?" Alvero stared at Baltazar and in a resolute tone, replied, "Yes." In the face of Alvero's steely resolve, Baltazar finally responded.
  The truth was that he had found a letter on a pirate ship he had captured that proved Diego had been supplying funding to the pirate Hayreddin.
  The very same Hayreddin that had killed Alvero's mother and was Baltazar's sworn enemy.
  In the back of Alvero's mind, he was reminded of something when he had taken the mission to retrieve the hostage from Hayreddin.
  When Hayreddin had seen the Sarmiento Company crest on the barrels in Alvero's ship, he had stopped robbing the ship.
  Alvero was in a state of shock.
  All of a sudden, the sound of cannon fire rang out.

• 22134
• The Duke of Alba's fleet had already surrounded the town.
  Baltazar ordered Player and Alvero to break through the blockade and return home, while he charged into the group of galleons alone.
