HUGO CARMICHAEL: What?

LEV ARRIS: Hugo Carmichael?

HUGO CARMICHAEL: Who wants to know?

LEV ARRIS: My name's Lev Arris, I have some questions for you.

HUGO CARMICHAEL: Yeah, I bet you have. It's a pity, I'm fresh out of answers.

LEV ARRIS: It looks like you're going somewhere in a hurry.

HUGO CARMICHAEL: What gives you that impression?

LEV ARRIS: Malakai.

HUGO CARMICHAEL: Mala-what?

LEV ARRIS: Your sudden depature wouldn't have anything to do with Malakai, would it?

HUGO CARMICHAEL: Only if I believed in ghosts. Listen, well, I've got a ship to catch.

LEV ARRIS: Not before I ask you a couple of questions about a box you're taking care of.

HUGO CARMICHAEL: I don't know nothing about no box.

LEV ARRIS: Someone named Larn Regis.

HUGO CARMICHAEL: You running on a new brain, or what? Nobody told you that worm food's nothing to worry about? Now get out of here.

LEV ARRIS: You seem a little nervous.

HUGO CARMICHAEL: Only about missing my ship.

LEV ARRIS: Does this have something to do with me?

HUGO CARMICHAEL: You really restore my faith in human stupidity. Hand me my trunks.

LEV ARRIS: Let me help you somehow.

HUGO CARMICHAEL: You? Help me? You got a ship? You got d-drive?

LEV ARRIS: Yeah.

HUGO CARMICHAEL: Well, so have I, and I'm going to Hephaestus. It's a long journey and nasty things can happen when you're flying alone. So, if you're so keen to play the good samaritan, you can watch my ass, okay?

LEV ARRIS: Sure. Is it Malakai you're worried about?

HUGO CARMICHAEL: Jesus, you are behind the times. Malakai was a code name for Larn Regis. He fried when the Canera went down. Haven't laughed much since my first divorce.

LEV ARRIS: Malakai on the Canera?

HUGO CARMICHAEL: We'll talk when we get to Hephaestus.

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.206 INT. APARTMENT HALLWAY-DAY -OUTSIDE HUGO'S DOOR *

Arris touches the annunciator. The door opens. A big,
burly man looks out: this is HUGO CARMICHAEL. He has a know-
it-all, cocky attitude: the conversation proceeds in a tone
of good-natured scorn.

HUGO

What?

ARRIS

Hugo Carmichael?

HUGO

Who wants to know?

ARRIS

My name's Lev Arris. I have

some questions for you...

HUGO

Yeah, I bet you do! 'S a pity

I'm fresh out of answers.

SC.207 ON ARRIS

As he leans past Hugo and looks into his room. There are
travel cases lying around half packed.

ARRIS

Looks like you're going somewhere

in a hurry.

HUGO

What gave you that impression?

SC.208 ANOTHER ANGLE

ARRIS

Malakai.

HUGO

Mala what?

ARRIS

Your sudden departure wouldn't

have anything to do with Malakai,

would it?

HUGO

(laughs)

Not unless I beleived in ghosts.

Look, bub, I've got a ship to catch.

ARRIS

Not before I ask you a couple of

questions. About a box you're

taking care of --

HUGO

I don't know nothing about no box.

ARRIS

And someone named Larn Regis -

SC.209 ANOTHER ANGLE

Hugo looks up at Arris as he finishes his packing. Just a
little of the humor has gone off him, but much is intact.

HUGO

Are you running-in a new brain or

what, boy? I already said, that

worm-food's nothing to worry about.

Now get outta here.

ARRIS

You seem a little nervous.

HUGO

Only about missing my ship--

ARRIS

Does this have something to do

with me?

HUGO

(laughs)

Oh boy, you really restore my

faith in human stupidity.

(Points)

Hand me my trunks.

ARRIS

Let me help you somehow...

HUGO

You help me!

(Beat. Slams the case closed)

You got a ship? You got D-drive?

ARRIS

Uh, yes...

HUGO

Well, so do I. And I'm going to

Hephaestus. It's a long way...and

nasty things can happen when you're

flying alone. So if you're so keen

to play the Good Samaritan you can

watch my ass, okay?

ARRIS

Sure. Is it Malakai you're worried

about?

HUGO

(laughing affably at the dummy)

Jeez, you are behind the times.

Malakai was a codename for Larn Regis.

He fried when the Canera went down.

Haven't laughed so since my first

divorce!

Arris is stunned.

ARRIS

Malakai...on the Canera?

HUGO

We'll talk when we get to Hephaestus.

And Carmichael is out of there in a rush. More or less
astonished, Arris goes after him and OUT OF SHOT.
