Transcript

MAN #1 - KRONOS' SHIP: Ser, get off the ground, she's going to blow.

KRONOS: YOU! You look, you look the same. How I hated that face. How I loved my own.

LEV ARRIS: Well, it's just as well you were so well adjusted, Sar, otherwise that could have driven you a little crazy. You look like shit, by the way.

KRONOS: Shit? SHIT? Still the same old smart Vel, eh? Well, your face might be new, but that's the only thing that is. You're history. The firm's done quite nicely without you.

LEV ARRIS: That's not what I heard. You've become a liability. An embarassment. People are laughing at you.

KRONOS: No one laughs at Kronos!

LEV ARRIS: Kronos was our father, you're not fit to carry the same name. Neither of us are.

KRONOS: I'm fit enough to expand the Kindred. To make it more feared. More hated. More effective.

LEV ARRIS: More bullshit, brother. The Kindred is falling apart quicker than you are.

KRONOS: You're just jealous! Jealous because I was the eldest! Jealous because mommy liked me better than you! Go on. Go on, admit it, Sar, you're jealous of me.

LEV ARRIS: You're crazy, I'm Vel, you're Sar, remember?

KRONOS: No, I'm... I... I mean... no, it's not fair. It was never fair.

LEV ARRIS: Face it, Sar, you've cracked and all your plans have cracked, too.

KRONOS: No! I'll show them. It should've been me who's the eldest. I was nastier than you. Harder. Meaner. I'll show them who's best, Sar

LEV ARRIS: But they're bother dead. Father never liked you and mother only...

KRONOS: Don't you dare mention her! You pushed me aside in the womb. I should've come out first but you pushed me aside.

LEV ARRIS: I couldn't say so, I think I was asleep at the time

KRONOS: Oh, always the jokes, always the witty replies. Always light, always loved. At least I left my mark on you. It will take you years to get the company back the way you want it.

LEV ARRIS: Maybe not. I have all the company codes, I have the keywords to all the shell accounts, but more than that I can be Kronos for as long as I want.

KRONOS: No!

LEV ARRIS: For as long as it takes to put things right.

KRONOS: No you can't. I'm Kronos. I am Kronos. I am...

LEV ARRIS: Say goodnight, brother.

KRONOS: I am... the light, leave the light on mommy, please, mommy. Please leave the light. The light on... no.

MAN #2 - KRONOS' SHIP: Ser!

LEV ARRIS: Take me to one of the escape ships. We're going home.

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.

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.287 INT. SHIP'S CORRIDOR LEADING FROM BAY

As Arris walks into it. He looks extremely grim and
determined, and has the air of a man who knows exactly where
he's going.


SC.288 AROUND THE CORNER OF THE CORRIDOR

He heads into the interior of the ship. Crew members are
running around, evacuating in all directions. Most of them
look at Arris with odd expressions of recognition: some are
shocked to see him heading into the ship rather than out of
it. One MAN stops as Arris is passing him. The Man looks at
him with a frightened and puzzled expression, as if he knows
Arris, but thinks there's something wrong with the way he
looks, somehow...

MAN
Ser Kronos ! Ser, get out
while you can, she's going to
blow!

Arris looks at him -- then heads onward into the ship. The
Man flees.


SC.289 ANOTHER CORRIDOR

Arris walks on down toward a large doorway. It is jammed
partially open: a dead man lies half in, half out of it.
Smoke billows from inside.


BC.290 ARRIS

He goes straight to the door and steps through it, sideways,
only glancing at the dead body and then stepping over it.


SC.291 INT. KRONOS'S CABIN

An ornate place, high-tech looking, but also rich. The place
is wrecked: things are on fire in here, and the air is full
of smoke: the further half of the room seems to have fallen
in on itself, superstructure beams and furnishings all
jumbled together in ruin. Half in, half-out of this
collapsed mess, pushing his way out of it, is SAR RICAUD,
otherwise known as KRONOS. He looks exactly like his brother
Vell, aka Arris: but twenty years older.
If he's been taking reviv treatments, they don't seem to have
worked. His hair is mostly gray, and his face plainly shows
the difference in age. He's bleeding, wounded from the
wreckage falling on him.


SC.292 ON KRONOS

He levers a last bit of wreckage off him, staggers free,
looks around him, frantic and furious -- catches sight of
Arris...AND HE GOES QUIET, ALMOST WITH A SENSE OF WONDER.

KRONOS
(Softly)
You.


SC.293 WIDER

He pushes himself away from the wreckage, toward Arris. He
doesn't have a weapon, but he's looking for one.

KRONOS (CONT'D)
You look...you look the same. How I
hated that face. But how I loved my
own.
ARRIS
It's just as well you're so well-adjusted,
Sar...Or that could have driven you a
little crazy.
(beat)
You look like shit, by the way.
KRONOS
Shit? Shit? Still the same old smug Vell,
eh? Well your face might be new...but
that's the only thing that is. You're history.
The firm's done quite nicely without
you.


SC.294 ANOTHER ANGLE

As Kronos spies a cracked-open weapons cabinet off to one
side, starts sidling toward it. Arris interposes himself:
Kronos is going to have to come past him to get at it. The
two begin circling one another warily. They lunge at one
another, feinting, all through the following.

ARRIS
Not what I heard. You've become a
liability. An embarrassment. People
are laughing at you.
KRONOS
No one laughs at Kronos!
ARRIS
Kronos was our father. You're not
fit to carry the same name. Neither
of us are.
KRONOS
I'm fit enough to expand the Kindred. To
make it more feared, more hated, more
effective...
ARRIS
More bullshit, brother. The Kindred is
falling apart quicker than you are.


SC.295 ANOTHER ANGLE

Kronos dives for the arms cabinet. The two of them come
together, struggle briefly, Arris pushes Kronos away: they
circle again. In b.g., the shuddering SFX: EXPLOSIONS of the
ship coming to pieces around them are getting louder....

KRONOS
You're just jealous. Jealous because
I was the eldest. Jealous because
Mommy liked me better than you...

Arris looks surprised, shocked at how crazy his brother is.


SC.296 NEW ANGLE

As they circle closer to one another.


$C.297 ANOTHER ANGLE

As another explosion goes off, a SHUDDER of the ship throws
the two of them together. For the moment, Kronos gets the
better of the struggle -- flings himself at the arms cabinet


SC.298 CLOSER

Arris tries to stop him, but Kronos rolls and comes up with a
nasty-looking weapon, trains it on Arris. Arris holds still
at first --

KRONOS
Go on, admit it! Admit it, Sar. You're
jealous of me!
ARRIS
Your crazy. I'm Vell. You're Sar.
Remember?


SC.299 NEW ANGLE

Kronos gets to his feet, wavering. Arris very slowly starts
to circle again.

KRONOS
No...I'm...I'm...
(He realizes the truth)
I mean...it's not fair. It was never
fair!


SC.300 ANOTHER ANGLE

He fires. Arris flings himself out of the way -- then back
in the way again, and is grappling with Kronos before his
brother can get off a second shot.

ARRIS
Face it, Sar. You've cracked. And
all your plans have cracked too.
KRONOS
No, I'll show them...It should have been
me who was the eldest. I was nastier than
you, harder, meaner. I'll show them who's
best son.
ARRIS
But they're both dead, Sar. Father
never liked you, and mother only --
KRONOS
(screams)
Don't you dare mention her!


55.301 ANOTHER ANGLE

Kronos throws himself at Arris. They struggle for possession
of the weapon. It gets pushed down between them. Someone is
going to get gut-shot -- but which one, it's impossible to
tell --

KRONOS
You pushed me aside in the womb, didn't
you? I should have come out first...but
you pushed me aside!
ARRIS
I couldn't say, Sar. I think I was asleep
at the time.


SC.302 CLOSE - THE TWO

Grappling. The young face, transfixed with anger: the old
one, twisted with hate. The weapon is OUT OF FRAME: we
can't see it --

KRONOS
Always the jokes! Always the witty
replies! Always liked! Always loved!

The weapon goes off. Both faces go rigid with shock --
slowly, they sag down OUT OF SHOT together --


SC.303 ON THE TWO OF THEM

Most of Sar's lower half is missing. He's almost dead --
just doesn't know it yet. He clutches at Arris's tunic.

KRONOS
(nasty amusement)
At least -- I left my mark. On you.
It'll take you years -- to get the
company back the way you want it.
ARRIS
Maybe not.
I have the company codes...the (Slight smile)
keywords to all the shell accounts.
And more than that...

He reaches out to the grayed hair. Kronos tries to avoid the
touch: doesn't have the strength. Arris touches a strand of
it.

ARRIS (CONT'D)
I have your face. I can be Kronos...
for as long as I need to be.


SC.304 CLOSER

KRONOS
No!
ARRIS
For as long as it takes to put
things right... maybe longer.
KRONOS
(coughs: he's dying...)
No, you can't -- I'm Kronos! I am --
ARRIS
Say good night, little brother.
KRONOS
(last breath: almost a little boy's voice)
The light -- leave the light on, Mommy...
Mommy, please leave the light on...


He's dead.


SC.305 ON ARRIS

A long look at his brother. Finally he reaches out and
starts tugging Kronos's bloodstained jacket off.

CUT TO:


SC.306 THE CORRIDOR NEAR THE HANGAR BAY

Arris walks down the hall, wearing his dead brother's jacket.
Another MAN comes out a door, sees him, reacts with fear --

MAN 2
Ser Kronos

He reaches out to him. Arris looks at him, a quelling
expression.

ARRIS
(growls)
Take me to one of the escape
ships. We're going home.

The Man nods and leads Arris off and OUT OF SHOT. As he
goes, we catch (as the Man doesn't) just a flicker of Arris's
smile, quickly covered up.

CUT TO:


SC.307 EXT. KRONOS'S SHIP (COMPUT2A GENRRATED: NO VIDEO)

As one last small ship leaves the hangar bay and soars OUT OF
SHOT. In B.G., Kronos's ship spectacularly EXPLODES.

CUT TO:
HASSAN (VO)
All that power...all that control...all
that temptation. He could be the most
powerful man in the system.
(beat)
...I wonder what he do?
