Player notes
At Clemens Point, Abigail tells Arthur that Jack is gone. The gang concludes that Catherine Braithwaite has taken him in retaliation for the Braithwaite horses. Dutch leads Arthur, Hosea, John, Charles, Bill, Javier and Lenny across Scarlett Meadows to Braithwaite Manor, leaving Micah and Kieran behind to watch the camp. At the gates, Dutch demands that the Braithwaites return Jack. The family refuses, and the gang opens fire.
After clearing the guards from the grounds, Arthur follows Dutch, Hosea and John into the manor. Dutch orders him to search for Catherine and Jack. Arthur forces his way through rooms on the lower floor and finds one of Catherine's sons, while Dutch and Hosea try to break into a locked upstairs bedroom. Braithwaite gunmen attack the house from outside, and Arthur joins the others on the balcony to drive them back.
Arthur helps John force open the bedroom door. Catherine is inside with her remaining sons, but Jack is nowhere in the manor. Dutch has the gang burn Braithwaite Manor and brings Catherine outside. Faced with the burning house, she admits that her family gave Jack to Angelo Bronte and says he may be in Saint Denis or already bound for Italy. The gang leaves the manor as Catherine runs back into the fire.

Trivia
- โUpon returning to the burnt-out manor, Catherine's body can be found and looted for a unique brooch.
- โAlthough Bartholomew Braithwaite appears in this mission, his dialogue is attributed to "Gareth." Gareth appears with Gerald in the bedroom, where he is shot dead by Arthur. Plus, if you go to loot or pick up the body, it will be labeled as Bartholomew. This is likely an oversight.
- โAfter making to the second floor to help Dutch and Hosea open the door, dozens of Braithwaites will show up triggering another gunfight. After this, when itโs time to help John break the window down, the player can instead have Arthur head outside to pick up a Plantation Hat dropped by one of the dead Braithwaites as it can be seen glowing from the second floor balcony.
- โThis is the first mission given to the player following one of the on-screen deaths of one of the gang members.
- โThis mission automatically continues onto the next, "The Battle of Shady Belle."
- โThere's a scene in the game's second trailer that shows Arthur, Hosea, and Bill walking away from the burning manor, with Catherine's screaming heard in the background.
