Part 2 of 4 in Sequence 8: The Joys of Freedom
Found in
- National GalleryThe National Gallery is the art museum on Trafalgar Square. In Triple Theft, Jacob and Maxwell Roth visit it while kidnapping Starrick's associates.
- Scotland YardScotland Yard is the Metropolitan Police headquarters in the Strand. Several Jack the Ripper memories involving Inspector Abberline reference it.
- St James' ParkSt James' Park is London's oldest royal park, just east of Buckingham Palace in Westminster. In Triple Theft it is where Jacob and Roth go after Starrick's head of security, Benjamin Raffles.
Good to know
- Sequence 8, memory 2 of 4; global story order 34; played as Jacob Frye.
- Giver: Maxwell Roth.
- Targets: Hattie Cadwallader, Benjamin Raffles and Chester Swinebourne.
- Optional objectives: do not kill anyone inside the target locations; don't let any target escape while kidnapped.
- The memory ends at a delivery point on the River Thames.
- Roth comes along in the carriage this time, saying there is no sense letting Jacob take all the glory.
Objectives
Drive Roth's carriage to the National Gallery. Ask two children about Cadwallader: one says she stole a statue, the other says she hides in the sewers. Find the empty pedestal, go below and kidnap her. Next, drive to St James' Park and take Raffles from among his guards. Last, enter Scotland Yard and seize Swinebourne, a policeman who informs for Starrick. Load each into the carriage, then drive to the Thames.
Tips
Grab each target from behind and walk slowly; if one breaks free you lose the optional objective, so restrain them before they can run. Avoid killing anyone at the gallery, park or police station.
Outcome
Roth packs all three onto a steamboat and sails off, promising Jacob more amusements. On the drives he explains why he invests in the Alhambra and talks about his doorman Lewis.
On the drives
Roth chatters between stops. Starrick's men have built their own prisons, he says, and he would never pin himself down like them. He calls Lewis an odd fish who turned up a few years ago, always polite, and describes Swinebourne as a copper by day and a snitch by night.

Every major target the Frye twins kill is one of his people, and the main story builds toward a final confrontation with him at Buckingham Palace.
- Maxwell RothMaxwell Roth is the showman and crime boss who leads the Blighters for Crawford Starrick. In Sequence 8 he invites Jacob to the Alhambra Music Hall and offers an alliance against Starrick, and his story becomes the game's darkest look at what Jacob could turn into.
