<blockquote>
<blockquote>
<B>DR. JANNA FREVEL</B>: Ser Arris, if you can hear me, blink. Excellent. I think our patient's coming around, Douglas. You've been in an accident, Ser. Your ship crashed while landing here on Crius. Luckily you were in a cryopod at the time so your injuries weren't extensive.
<B>JOE THE BARTENDER</B>: You're a hungry man.


<B>LEV ARRIS</B>: Accident? How?
<B>LEV ARRIS</B>: Yeah, yeah, I guess I could eat.


<B>DR. JANNA FREVEL</B>: We'll deal with that later. Our first job is to get you back on your feet. You need to stay with us for some rehab, it's plenty of time.
<B>JOE THE BARTENDER</B>: You are starving, don't deny it. A barman these days, he has to have a sixth sense about his customers, and I'm nothing if I'm not a barman. Ah, your credit's sweet enough. So, we have stew, we have lizard guts... oh, and we have space bug gumbo!/


<B>LEV ARRIS</B>: Yeah, but I don't remember... anything. What ship? What's happening?
<B>LEV ARRIS</B>: I'll have the stew, please.


<B>DR. JANNA FREVEL</B>: The Canera, Ser Arris. We know that's your name from your cryopod. It may take a while for your memory to return. In the mean time, just relax. Everything's going to be fine.
<B>JOE THE BARTENDER</B>: I could've told you that. And you prefer your beer lukewarm, right?


--
<B>LEV ARRIS</B>: No, no actually I prefer it... lukewarm. Great.


<B>PUBLIC ADDRESS</B>: Exercise...
<B>JOE THE BARTENDER</B>: Don't mind them, they're loud-mouthed viscious cut-throats. But they're decent loud-mouth cut-throats.


<B>DR. JANNA FREVEL</B>: And how's Ser Arris this morning?
<B>LEV ARRIS</B>: So they're a, they're no trouble, eh?


<B>LEV ARRIS</B>: He's okay.
<B>JOE THE BARTENDER</B>: No, nothing that fancy for me. Though some spacers, as soon as they walk in I can smell it on them... so I break their necks just a little to be on the safe side. Not trouble I smell on you?


<B>PUBLIC ADDRESS</B>: Gyro session commencing.  
<B>LEV ARRIS</B>: Uh-huh, I left my trouble outside.


<B>LEV ARRIS</B>: I just wish he would tell me who he was.
<B>JOE THE BARTENDER</B>: Good, soon as I saw you I said well there's one smack-up vertebrae. You hang around here and I'll see you're around decent food and drink, amd maybe a couple of juicy deals. A respectable guy like you wants to be careful where he's seen. You don't want to hang out in some spit'n sorter's toilet with a liquor license. You need somewhere like this. A place with a little... refinement.


<B>DR. JANNA FREVEL</B>: We'll get your memory back eventually.
<B>LEV ARRIS</B>: Thanks for the advice, uh...


<B>LEV ARRIS</B>: Do you talk to all your patients as though they were children, Dr. Frevel, or is it just me?
<B>JOE THE BARTENDER</B>: Well my friends call me Joe. Probably because that's my name!


<B>DR. JANNA FREVEL</B>: I'm sorry. We find that usually people in your condition appreciate a gentle approach.
<B>LEV ARRIS</B>: Lev Arris.


<B>LEV ARRIS</B>: Yeah, well I'm not usual people.
<B>JOE THE BARTENDER</B>: Of course you are. Manners!


<B>DR. JANNA FREVEL</B>: No, I don't believe you are. We wouldn't normally divulge this information to patients but we did a record search on you and it wasn't good.  
<B>LEV ARRIS</B>: Joe. You mentioned some, uh, juicy deals.


<B>LEV ARRIS</B>: Make my day. I'm a mass-murderer.
<B>JOE THE BARTENDER</B>: Not just juicy. Dripping! Suppliers. Wholesalers. Jobbers. You might say that I run a very... moist establishment.
</blockquote>


<B>DR. JANNA FREVEL</B>: I wouldn't joke about that if I were you. You could be almost anything. Prior to two weeks ago, you don't exist. Either someone's erased your records or else there was an accident in your home planet's data net.
== Characters ==


<B>LEV ARRIS</B>: My home planet. Geez, where is home? Where's my family? Do I have a family? Am I married? Do I have children? Who the hell am I, Doctor Frevel?
=== Speaking ===


<B>DR. JANNA FREVEL</B>: It'll come, Lev. This is all quite normal with trauma sustained in cryo.
* [[Lev Arris]]
* [[Joe Kane|Joe The Bartender]]


<B>PUBLIC ADDRESS</B>: Gyro ending.
=== Non-Speaking ===


<B>LEV ARRIS</B>: Just how long was I in that icebox for?
*


<B>DR. JANNA FREVEL</B>: We're still working on that. But you could afford to stay in one for as long as you liked.
== Translations ==


<B>LEV ARRIS</B>: Meaning?
Privateer 2: The Darkening's cutscenes were dubbed for the French, German and Spanish releases.


<B>DR. JANNA FREVEL</B>: Meaning one thing that did come down from your data check, your account. Only registered about a week ago. You have an exceptionally attractive credit rating, Ser Arris.
===French===


<B>LEV ARRIS</B>: Nice.

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.

<B>DR. JANNA FREVEL</B>: Cryo-associated memory loss may take months to resolve itself. But when it does some patients are a little disappointed. The reality of someone's past often fails to match up to what they'd imagined it might be.
The [[Privateer 2: The Darkening Trailer]] includes a clip from this scene.
<B>LEV ARRIS</B>: Right now I'd settle for disappointment.

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

Trailer

The Privateer 2: The Darkening Trailer includes a clip from this scene.

Unreleased Trailer

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

Mat psychophile

Mat psychophile has posted a video on YouTube identifying where he appeared as an extra in 3_S.

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.73 INT. SINNER'S INN ACCESS-DAY

An open area with "jetways" and pedestrian tubes running away
from it: a kind of crossroads. The door to Sinner's is
across this area.
The equivalent of a garish/tatty neon sign marks it, the
words "Sinner's Inn" appearing in several alphabets other
than Roman. Arris walks over to the door: it opens for him:
he enters, and it shuts.


5C.74 INT. SINNER'S INN-DAY

Again, telling it's day isn't easy: it's dark in here, only
occasional pinlighting breaking the gloom. The bar area is
the brightest in the place. A CCM booth and an STT booth are
off to one side, looking very beat up. Various shady-looking
characters lurk, skulk or slouch in corners and alcoves,
drinking and talking. A few of them look up at Arris as he
comes in, then away again. The looks are not particularly
friendly. In b.g. of the shot are a raddled-looking bunch of
barflies


5C.75 ON ARRIS

He walks up to the bar, stops there, uncertain. JOE THE
BARTENDER is there, polishing the bar. He looks up: also
not a particularly friendly expression.

JOE
You're a hungry man.
ARRIS
(A little taken aback)
Ah, yeah, I guess I could eat.
JOE
(glances under the bar)
Your starving. Don't deny it. A barman
nowadays...he'S got to have sixth sense
about his customers. And I'm nothing if
not a barman. Your credit's sweet enough..
(Looks up)
We got stew, we got lizard guts, we got
space bug gumbo...
ARRIS
I'll have the stew.
JOE
I could have told you that. And you
like your beer...lukewarm. Right?
ARRIS
Actually I prefer it...
(Arris notices the stare Joe
is giving him. Arris smiles)
Lukewarm. Right.

Joe turns away.


SC.76 ANOTHER ANGLE - BAR

Joe reappears, gives Arris his bowl of stew and his beer,
then leans on the bar, looking idly over at the barflies.

JOE
Don't mind them. They're loudmouthed
vicious cut-throats...but they're
decent loudmouthed cut-throats.
ARRIS
So they're no trouble?
JOE
Nothing I can't see coming. Though
some spacers...soon as they walk in
I smell it on them. So I break their
necks, just a little, to be on the
safe side.
(Eyes Arris, smiles)
That's not trouble I smell on you, is it?
ARRIS
Uh, uh. I left all my troubles outside.


SC.77 WIDER

Joe nods, looking satisfied.

JOE
Good. First time I saw you I thought,
there's one smart vertebrae. You hang
round here and I'll see you right.
Decent food and drink...maybe a coupla
juicy deals.
(Conspiratorial look)
Respectable guy like you gotta think
about where he's seen. You don't
wanna hang in some spit and sawdust
toilet with a liquor licence. You
need somewhere like this, a place with
a little refinement.

(At this moment we should witness some act of violence or
debauchery in the background of the bar)

ARRIS
(Seeing it)
Thanks for the advise, Ser.
JOE
My friends call me Joe...
JOE(Cont..)
(Pretend confidential)
Probably because that's my name!

He laughs loudly at his own joke as they shake hands:
(Not an Earth-style handshake: each man grips the other's
forearm.)

ARRIS
I'm Lev Arris.
JOE
Of course you are.


SC.78 INT. SINNER'S INN-DAY

The barflies continue their singing in b.g. Arris has
finished his stew -- pushes the bowl aside.

ARRIS
Joe, you mentioned some...juicy deals.
JOE
Not just juicy. Dripping. Suppliers,
wholesalers, jobbers. You could say
I run a very...moist establishment.
CHOICE 1:
     ARRIS (VO)
      CHOICE 2:
     ARRIS (VO)
Hmm...sounds more than
slightly illegal...don't
like the sound of it.
Maybe I can get a bargain
...something a little
'hot'....
