Transcript

LEV ARRIS: Okay, shoot, Taffin. But make it a good one. Because if I don't drop dead the second you pull that trigger, you lose the rest of your ugly face.

HAL TAFFIN: Oh, the pod, you want to know about the medical pod. Why didn't you just say so?

HAL TAFFIN: I sold it to a guy called Angus Santana on Anhur. He works for some charity called Interplanetary Aid.

LEV ARRIS: What did Santana want with it?

HAL TAFFIN: They were looking for something to use as a med-evac.

LEV ARRIS: How come you sold it so fast?

HAL TAFFIN: I don't like trouble. That ship's trouble. There was some people, there was a lot of questions. Everyone's been getting rid of anything they had from that ship.

LEV ARRIS: Why all the interest?

HAL TAFFIN: Get out of here.

25th Anniversary

On May 20, 2020, Privateer 2: The Darkening director Steve Hilliker released The Darkening 25th Anniversary Restoration which featured footage restored from Betacam tapes. The footage has been edited down into a cinema cut but where available it is of much higher quality than the game's files.

Betacam

A pair of Betacam SP tapes recovered from Digital Anvil have provided high quality versions of much of Privateer 2: The Darkening's Main Plot. These cuts are not final and digital effects are missing.

Origin Museum VHS

A VHS tape digitized by Joe Garrity of the Origin Museum included versions of edits 7 through 74.

Unreleased Trailer

The Privateer 2 The Darkening Movie Promo Trailer posted to YouTube by DigitalVaultThe includes a clip from this scene.

Storyboards

A collection of Privateer 2 Storyboards has been provided by Joe Garrity of the Origin Museum. They cover the Main Plot cutscenes.

Script

A The Darkening Script Draft 7 used during the game's shooting has been provided by Erin Roberts.

SC.116 WIDER

Arris promptly pulls a gun on Taffin.

ARRIS
Okay, shoot. But make it a good one,
Taffin. Because if I don't drop dead
the second you pull the trigger, you
lose the rest of your ugly face.

When it comes, Taffin's laugh is a little hysterical.
He isn't the least amused.

TAFFIN
(As though just realising it)
Oh, the medical pod! You want to know
about the medical pod! Why didn't you
say?

He puts his gun away.


SC.117 ON TAFFIN (ARRIS IN B.G.)

Taffin sits on the desk, looks away from Arris, as if
getting uncomfortable. He touches the ruined part of his
face nervously.

TAFFIN
I sold it to a guy named Angus Santana,
on Anhur. He works for some charity
called Interplanetary Aid.
ARRIS
What did Santana want with it?
TAFFIN
They were looking for something to
use as a medevac.
ARRIS
How come you sold it so fast?
TAFFIN
I don't like trouble. That ship's
trouble. There were some people..
(Touches face nervously again)
There were lots of questions.
Everyone's been getting rid of
anything they have from that ship.
ARRIS
Why all the interest in
it?
TAFFIN
Get outta here
