Transcript
ALBERTO FOSSA: Quite a place, isn't it?
LEV ARRIS: You have a gift for understatement, ser.
ALBERTO FOSSA: Fossa. Alberto Fossa.
LEV ARRIS: I feel like I've fallen into a keeprat's hole.
ALBERTO FOSSA: Yes, the Bex religious impulse has its collective side. As in collect anything and keep it whether you remember where it came from or not.
LEV ARRIS: And you, ser Fossa, what do you collect?
ALBERTO FOSSA: Opportunities. I've just come by a nice, shiny new one.
LEV ARRIS: Oh?
ALBERTO FOSSA: There's about to be a private auction of something rather special. A couple of business assosciates have just acquired a small peice of religious art, they're about to sell it off. I don't think they know how special it is and if I turned off at the auction it might tip them off.
LEV ARRIS: Well it sounds to me like you need someone to act for you, someone who doesn't usually turn up at auctions.
ALBERTO FOSSA: There would be more than adequate remuniation in it for the agent. Are you interested?
LEV ARRIS: How adequate?
ALBERTO FOSSA: 5,000 or so. All you would need to do is bid on my art.

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.
Script
The The Darkening Script Draft 7 used during the game's shooting has been provided by Erin Roberts.
(Continuation of stolen statue sequence. Player must go to
Blessed Bew Bar to discover necessary information.)
SC.405 INT. BLESSED BREW BAR, BEXAn odd sort of place: like the kind of pub that's built out
of bits of old churches. Religious relics, peculiar icons
and strange portraiture, all hung on the walls and ceiling
as if in a TGI Friday's: casual, cheerful and bizarre.When the player clicks on ALBERTO FOSSA below:
