Transcript

DAVID HASSAN: I hear you've found something of interest.

LEV ARRIS: News travels fast.

DAVID HASSAN: It does if you spend enough money.

LEV ARRIS: Malakai's dead.

DAVID HASSAN: Malakai's dead?

LEV ARRIS: Went down with the Canera. Listen, does the name Rhinehart mean anything to you?

DAVID HASSAN: Maybe. Maybe a code name for one of Kronos' lieutenants. You sure he's dead?

LEV ARRIS: Yeah, of course I'm sure. What's the problem?

DAVID HASSAN: If Malakai's dead, who the hell have we got? We've got the guy who sent you all the e-mail. We caught him as he was leaving Bex.

LEV ARRIS: Reading my e-mail? David, I've got to meet this guy. You owe me.

DAVID HASSAN: Okay, then. CIS secure services. Bex TP high security facility. Chief Proctor's Office. Ron, it's David Hassan.

PRISON POLICE OFFICER: David. See your orders came through this morning, he's on his way.

DAVID HASSAN: What orders?

PRISON POLICE OFFICER: Moving our prisoner over to Hades.

DAVID HASSAN: Orders? Under whose seal?

PRISON POLICE OFFICER: Yours.

LEV ARRIS: Wh-wh-what's going on?

DAVID HASSAN: When did these orders come through?

PRISON POLICE OFFICER: Last night. We shipped him out, uh, well, a couple hours ago.

DAVID HASSAN: Tell BTP to get everything they can out there. That ship's going to be attacked. Coming?
