Transcript

LEV ARRIS: Please, Serra. Do you, uhm, do you know you, uhm, you look like my sister.

SHERNIKOV RECEPTIONIST: No.

LEV ARRIS: I mean, that is, uhm, if, if I, if I had a sister I'd, uhm, I'd I'd I'd I'd really like her to look like you.

SHERNIKOV RECEPTIONIST: You're telling the truth now, because no one like you who had a sister would have survived this long. You're too upset looking to be a serious crook. Now you just start behaving yourself.

LEV ARRIS: Is it uhm, is it allright then if I just wait until someone comes who I can take this up with?

SHERNIKOV RECEPTIONIST: Allright, but I can't guarantee anything different will happen. What's so special about this pod?

LEV ARRIS: I was in it. I was being transported for a medical facility and they, uhm, they left me with some physical problems that I won't be able to handle until I find out where that facility was. But the pod went down in the Canera.

SHERNIKOV RECEPTIONIST: My goodness.

LEV ARRIS: And some data was lost from the pod's memory and now it can't be traced. Listen, I, uhm, I have the pod's serial number if, if it would be of any help.

SHERNIKOV RECEPTIONIST: Come here. I really shouldn't be doing this. There, it was comissioned and paid for by a Jan Mitorr on Janus IV. Goodness. The record's almost twenty years old.

LEV ARRIS: What?

SHERNIKOV RECEPTIONIST: Anyway, there's his address. Though there's no guarantee he's there anymore. Was that all you came about?

LEV ARRIS: Yeah.

SHERNIKOV RECEPTIONIST: Right. I've transferred the information into your computer. Now you better get out of here before my boss gets back. I never saw you. Even if you do look a lot like my little brother.

LEV ARRIS: Serra, thanks very much.

SHERNIKOV RECEPTIONIST: Come on, get out before my boss sees you and asks what you wanted.

Characters

Speaking

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.

Betacam

A pair of Betacam SP tapes recovered from Digital Anvil have provided high quality versions of much of Privateer 2: The Darkening's Main Plot. These cuts are not final and digital effects are missing.

Origin Museum VHS

A VHS tape digitized by Joe Garrity of the Origin Museum included versions of edits 7 through 74.

Storyboards

A collection of Privateer 2 Storyboards has been provided by Joe Garrity of the Origin Museum. They cover the Main Plot cutscenes.

Script

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

ARRIS
(desperate)
Serra...do you know you look
like my sister?
WOMAN
(dry and unconvinced)
No.
ARRIS
That is, if I had a
sister...I'd like her to
look like you...
WOMAN
(slightly amused now)
You're telling the truth
now. Because no one like
you who had a sister would
have survived this long.

She hits the control that drops him out of the security
field.

WOMAN
(wry)
You're too upset-looking to
be a serious crook. You
just sit there and behave
yourself.


SC.142 BACK TO ANGLE

ARRIS
Is it all right, then, if I
wait until someone comes who
I can take this up with?
WOMAN
All right...but I can't
guarantee anything different
will happen.


SC.143 WIDER

As Arris sits down. The woman goes back to her work, then
looks up after a moment.

WOMAN
What's so special about this
pod?
ARRIS
Well, I was in it. I was
being transported from some
medical facility...and they
left me with some physical
problems that I won't be
able to handle until I find
out where the facility
was. But the pod went down
in the Canera...
WOMAN
Oh, my goodness.
ARRIS
And some data was lost from
the pod's memory, and now it
can't be traced.

She looks at him thoughtfully.
