Transcript

DAVID HASSAN: This way.

LEV ARRIS: This is not a place I ever wanted to see the inside of.

DAVID HASSAN: why should you see the inside of Hades, unless you're guilty of a crime?

LEV ARRIS: Am I being accused of something here?

DAVID HASSAN: Not necessarily.

LEV ARRIS: Now look, I save your life, I choose to follow you down here, now if you don't quit playing the man of mystery I'm going to get back on my ship and I'll take my own chances with whoever's trying to nail me.

DAVID HASSAN: There's a lot to tell you, Arris. I don't know how much you know. I don't know how much you're involved. Right now, I don't care. You could be the biggest cutthroat this side of New Bedlam, as long as you help me get the Kindred.

LEV ARRIS: The Kindred? Isn't that some kind of organized crime group?

DAVID HASSAN: It's THE organized crime group. Over the past forty years, they've infiltrated every aspect of society. Commerce, government, law enforcement, on every planet known to man. They maniuplate stock markets, planetary economies, politics... and anyone whot tries to stop them, anyone who tries to get in the way, they're eliminated.

LEV ARRIS: That puts you in the firing line, I'd say.

DAVID HASSAN: It's my job.

LEV ARRIS: That's all it is, a job?

DAVID HASSAN: The man who runs the organization has stayed in the shadows for some time. But you tell me, Arris, you tell me about the man who runs the Kindred.

LEV ARRIS: What am I supposed to know?

DAVID HASSAN: He's clever. Ruthless. Brilliant, by all accounts. Lavish, with rewards to his faithful servants. Brutal to those who aren't.

LEV ARRIS: Yeah, I think we've established that he's a powerful bastard, what's that have to do with me?

DAVID HASSAN: In the Kindred organization, his name is Kronos.

LEV ARRIS: Kronos.

DAVID HASSAN: The CIS is at war with the Kindred. It's a war you found yourself in the middle of.

LEV ARRIS: I don't want any part of it. I've got my own problems.

DAVID HASSAN: You haven't begun to have problems. You cross me, you'll have problems. You're going to have to choose sides, Arris. Which brings us to the Kindred operative known as Malakai.

LEV ARRIS: Maybe I knew him, once. I had a crash.

DAVID HASSAN: So we noticed. Memory loss. Unlucky, or a good excuse.

LEV ARRIS: What's so important about Malakai?

DAVID HASSAN: We think he's one of Kronos' top lieutenants. Possibly his closest friend for many years. And he seems inordinately interested in you.

LEV ARRIS: Why?

DAVID HASSAN: That's the question. Maybe he was the one who erased your personal records. Maybe he was the one trying to get you to the hospital on Crius. What's important is, he's trying to get to you and that means you can help us get him.

LEV ARRIS: You, you want to use me as bait?

DAVID HASSAN: We'll be doing eachother a favor.

LEV ARRIS: No way. No, this is your crusade, Hassan. Who was it, a CIS partner? A lover? Who did the Kindred kill that's burned you so badly?

DAVID HASSAN: That's got nothing to do with it.

LEV ARRIS: You're lying.

DAVID HASSAN: You're right. It was someone. But that doesn't make taking a murderous dog like Malakai out of orbit any less important.

LEV ARRIS: Okay, I need extra weapons systems installed on my ship.

DAVID HASSAN: A Blindfire do?

LEV ARRIS: Absolutely. And I'll need files. A complete breakdown of everything you know about the Kindred.

DAVID HASSAN: You got it. And I'll give you some passwords, get you into the computers of a firm called Blessed Aquawine on Bex. You might find something of interest.

LEV ARRIS: What happens if the Bex police catch me snooping through their files?

DAVID HASSAN: Don't let them.

LEV ARRIS: A CIS operative condoning breaking the law?

DAVID HASSAN: I prefer to think of it as bending.

LEV ARRIS: Don't you have your own agents for this kind of thing?

DAVID HASSAN: Never know who to trust in this business, Arris. It's a dirty war. They got moles inside the CIS, we got agents in their organization. We give them the mushroom treatment.

LEV ARRIS: The mushroom treatment?

DAVID HASSAN: Yeah, feed 'em shit, keep 'em in the dark. You'll find the files and passwords for Aquawine in your ship's computer. You should check out the business of a man called Hugo Carmichael.

LEV ARRIS: What happens when Kronos' people get to me?

DAVID HASSAN: We won't be far behind. My boss, Sheila Nabakov, has been chasing Kronos a long time. We both want him bad. We can get to him through Malakai.

LEV ARRIS: And when I'm through with all this.

DAVID HASSAN: Maybe by then we'll know who you are. Be able to make your own choice.

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.

Script

A The Darkening Script Draft 7 used during the game's shooting has been provided by Erin Roberts.

SC.187 INT. HADES CORRIDOR -- WIDE

A long, wide corridor with entrances to the "prison pits" on either side. Hassan is leading the way.

HASSAN
This way.


SC.188 INT. HASSAN'S OFFICE

Utilitarian: with a window looking out on the "pits".


SC.189 ARRIS AND HASSAN

Arris looks a bit antsy.

ARRIS
This isn't a place I ever wanted
to see the inside of.
HASSAN
Why should you see the inside of
Hades? Unless you're guilty of a
crime?

They eyeball each other.

ARRIS
Am I being accused of something
here?
HASSAN
Not necessarily.

Arris has had enough of this.

ARRIS
Look. I save your life. I chose
to follow you down here. Now if
you don't quit playing the Man
of Mystery I'm getting back on my
ship and I'll take my own chances
with whoever's trying to nail me.

Beat. They look at each other....Hassan smiles, relenting a
little.


SC.190 ON HASSAN

He sits down.

HASSAN
There's a lot to tell you, Arris.
I don't know how much you know. I
don't know much you're involved.
Right now, I don't care. You could
be the biggest cut-throat this side
of New Bedlam....as long as you
help me to get the Kindred....


SC.191 WIDER - INCLUDING ARRIS

ARRIS
The Kindred...they're some kind of
organized crime group?
HASSAN
The organized crime group. Over
the past forty years, they've
infiltrated every aspect of society.
Commerce, government, law enforcement...
On every planet known to man. They
manipulate stock markets, planetary
economies, politics.
(With passion)
And anyone who tries to stop them,
anyone who tries to get in their
way....They're eliminated.

Hassan hesitates a minute, seemingly lost in thought.

ARRIS
That puts you in the firing line,
Hassan.
HASSAN
It's my job.
ARRIS
That all it is? A job?


SC.192 ON HASSAN

HASSAN
(Ignoring this)
The man who runs the organisation
has stayed in the shadows for some
time....

Hassan stops and looks at Arris.

HASSAN (CONT)
But you tell, Arris. You tell me
about the man who runs the Kindred.
ARRIS
What am I supposed to know?
HASSAN
He's clever. Ruthless. Brilliant,
by all accounts. Lavish with rewards
to his faithful servants ....brutal
to those who aren't.
ARRIS
I think we've established that
he's a powerful bastard. What's that
to do with me?
HASSAN
In the Kindred organisation, his
name is Kronos.


SC.193 FAVORING ARRIS

He blinks. Just a slight reaction.

ARRIS
Kronos -


</>SC.194 ANOTHER ANGLE

HASSAN
The CIS is at war with the Kindred.
It's a war that you've found
yourself in the middle of.


SC.195 FAVORING ARRIS

ARRIS
Well I don't want any part of it.
I've got my own problems.


BC.196 ANOTHER ANGLE

HASSAN
You haven't begun to have problems.
You cross me.... then you'll have
problems. You're going to have to
choose sides, Arris. Which brings
us to the Kindred operative known
as Malakai.
ARRIS
Look, maybe I knew him once...I
had a crash.
HASSAN
So we noticed. Memory loss. Unlucky.
(Beat)
Or a good excuse.
ARRIS
What's so important about Malakai?
HASSAN
We think he's one of Krono's top
lieutenants. Possibly his closest
friend for many years. And he seems
inordinately interested in you.
ARRIS
Why?


SC.197 NEW ANGLE - FAVORING HASSAN

HASSAN
That's the question. Maybe he was
the one who erased your personal
records. Maybe he was the one who
tried to get you at the hospital
at Crius. What's important is that
he is trying to get to you....and
that means you can help us to get
him.
ARRIS
You want to use me as bait?
HASSAN
We'll both be doing each other a
favour.
ARRIS
No way. It's your crusade, Hassan.
Who was it, a CIS partner? A lover?
Who did the kindred kill that burnt
you so bad?
HASSAN
That's got nothing to with it.
ARRIS
You're lying.

Beat. They stare at each other. Are blows about to be struck?
Then Hassan relents.

HASSAN
(Clamer...)
Okay. You're right. There was
someone...
(Beat)
But that doesn't make taking a
murderous dog like Malakai out
of orbit any less important.

He looks at Arris. No longer threatening....but pleading. A
long beat.

ARRIS
I'll need some extra weapons systems
installed in my ship.
HASSAN
(Smiling)
Will Blindfire do?

Arris nods, grinning.


SC.198 WIDER

ARRIS
Just fine. And I'll need files,
a run-down of what you know about
the Kindred.


SC.199 NEW ANGLE

HASSAN
(Getting excited)
You got it. And I'll give you
some passwords to get into the
computers of a firm called
Blessed Aquawine, on Bex. You
might find something of interest.
ARRIS
What if the Bex poice catch me
snooping through their files?
HASSAN
(Grins)
Don't let them.


SC.200 ANOTHER ANGLE

ARRIS
A CIS operative...condoning
breaking the law?
HASSAN
I prefer to think of it as bending..
ARRIS
Don't you have your own agents
for this kind of thing?
HASSAN
Never know who to trust in this
business, Arris. It's a dirty war.
They've got moles inside the CIS.
We got agents in their organisation.
We give them the mushroom treatment.
ARRIS
The mushroom treatment?
HASSAN
Feed them shit and keep them in
the dark.

Arris smiles.


SC.201 WIDER

Hassan gets up.

HASSAN
You'll find the files and
passwords for Aquawine in
your ship's computer. You
should check out the
business of a man called
Hugo Carmichael.
ARRIS
When Kronos' people get to me...
HASSAN
We won't be far behind. My boss,
Sheila Nabokov, she's been chasing
Kronos a long time. We both want
him bad. We can get to him through
Malakai.
ARRIS
And when I'm through with all this?
HASSAN
Maybe by then you'll know who you
are....
(Beat)
...And you'll be able to make your
own choice.


SC.202 ON THE TWO MEN

Arris gets up, grips arms with Hassan, leaves. Hassan stares
thoughtfully.
