Transcript
LEV ARRIS: Doctor, look, I've got problems. I think maybe you've got them too, from the way you look, but at least you remember your past life. I know how to do things, but not how I know how to do them. I've got no past. That pod I came in is the only link with who I was and you're the only one who saw it.
DOCTOR LOOMIS: Okay. There were suggestions that we should forget your case ever happened.
LEV ARRIS: Suggestions from who?
DOCTOR LOOMIS: No names, just a lot of veiled threats. You arrived in a pretty beat up pod, Arris. Custom-built, not one of the off-the-peg models. At least ten years old.
LEV ARRIS: Ten years?
DOCTOR LOOMIS: It could have been older. And you hadn't been in a hospital. There was no practitioners seal on the pod when we opened it. The pod displays wouldn't show any reg number or planet origin. But we didn't have a lot of time to bother about that, you were already in thaw cycle. The crash had started the pod's resuscitiation routines. They took the thing away, I don't know where. More than that, I can't tell you and I think the less we're seen together, the better. Good luck, Ser Arris, you're going to need a whole lot of it.

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.

SC.95 NEW ANGLE
- ARRIS
- Doctor...I've got problems.
- I think maybe you've got
- them too, from the way you
- look. But at least you
- remember your past life. I
- know how to do things...but
- not how I know to do them.
- I've got no past. That pod
- I came in is the only link
- with who I was...and you're
- the one who saw it.
TO SC 96)
SC.96 INT. CRIUS HOSPITAL - CONFERENCE ROOM 3The doctor looks thoughtfully at Arris.
- DOCTOR LOOMIS
- (Sighs)
- Okay. There were suggestions that
- we should forget your case ever
- happened.
- ARRIS
- Suggestions from whom?
- DOCTOR LOOMIS
- No names. Just a lot of veiled threats.
- (Shakes his head)
- You arrived in a pretty beat up pod,
- Arris. Custom built, not one of the
- 'off-the-peg' models. At least ten
- years old.
- ARRIS
- Ten years...?
SC.97 WIDER
- DOCTOR LOOMIS
- It could have been older. And you
- hadn't been in a hospital -- there was
- no practitioner's seal on the pod when
- DR LOOMIS(CONT....)
- we opened it. The pod display wouldn't
- show any reg. Number or planet of origin.
- But we didn't have a lot of time to bother
- about that. You were already in "thaw"
- cycle: the crash had started the pod's
- resuscitation routines.
- (shakes his head again)
- They took the thing away, but I don't
- know where. The police might -- they
- take care of vehicle registration.
SC.98 ANOTHER ANGLEThe doctor is really twitching now. He gets up and starts to
leave.
- DR. LOOMIS
- Beyond that...I can't help you.
- And I think the less we're seen
- together the better. Good luck,
- Ser Arris.
- (Beat, he looks at Arris)
- You're going to need a whole lot
- of it.
He exits hurriedly. Arris stares at his hands for a moment,
then gets up.
