Jack Sinclair's dialogue

7 1 1 0 1 0 A 0 0 DO NOT DISPLAY 1 1 0 Shh! Don't say anything. You don't know who's near. My name's Jack. I know what you lot are down here for. You've come for the grail. Haven't ye. (BREAK) Well, I hate this whole thing. I hate the way these people are playing games with all of you. I can't stand to see a good man hanging up there to rot. Are ye a good man? (BREAK) (Sound of Lurka approaching) Hang on. Someone's coming. Don't tell 'em ye've seen me. Ja1_A 0 1 0 2 1 5 6 0 141 0 1 0,3,1,5,0 I know he won't be back. I just thought I might get a little information out of him. 1 1 0 I see. Now perhaps I'd like to get some from you before I decide if I should risk helping ye down from there. Why should I trust you? Ja2_141 0 0 1 3 2 142 0 1 0,3,1,5,1 Do I need to have done anything to someone like that? 1 1 0 I suppose not. But he obviously didnae trust ye. And why should I? I hate to see anyone suffer, but if I let ye down ye might kill me straight away. Ja2_142 0 0 1 3 2 143 0 1 0,3,1,5,0 Yes. But I knew you were waiting just round the corner to let me down. 1 1 0 That's a bit presumtuous of ye. D'ye think I've survived down here for nearly eight years by being a trusting fool. I've kept meself to meself. You're gonna have to give me a good reason to trust ye enough to help ye. Ja2_143 0 0 1 3 2 144 0 2 0,3,1,5,0 0,3,1,5,1 Come on friend. Can't you see I'm suffering here. Let me down, then we can talk. 1 1 0 I'll not let ye down until I know you're nae gonna slit ma throat. Ja2_144 0 0 1 3 2 999 0 2 0,3,1,5,0 0,3,1,5,1 I suppose you're going to aggravate me and then clear off are you? 1 1 0 Well, if you're going tae take that tone with me, clear off I will. Ja2_999 0 1 0 A 0 0 DO NOT DISPLAY 2 1 7 0,5,6,1,0 0,5,4,12,0 0,5,4,10,0 0,5,4,7,0 0,5,4,1,0 0,5,4,5,0 0,5,4,13,0 He won't be back you know. You were a fool to trust him. Ja2_A 0 0 0 2 0 What have you done to him that he should just leave you to rot up there like that? Ja2_AB 0 0 0 2A 0 6 0 145 1 0,3,2,3,0 0 You can trust me. Look. Let's do a deal. I can get to the chest he was talking about. We can both end up rich! 1 1 0 I lost the only riches this world ever offered me the day I fell into this hellish place. I've no interest in any riches. And a man who tries to bargain with them is no man I'll trust. I'm sorry my friend, but I want to survive to smell the fresh natural air of God's earth again. I'll not die and be condemned to haunt this place. Ja2A_145 0 1 0 146 1 0,3,2,3,0 1 0,1,2,4,1 The chest Lurka wants contains grailstone. The stuff is valuable beyond imagining. Let me out. We can work together to get it. 1 1 0 I lost the only riches this world ever offered me the day I fell into this hellish place. I've no interest in any riches. And a man who tries to bargain with them is no man I'll trust. I'm sorry my friend, but I want to survive. To smell again the fresh natural air of God's earth. I'll not die and be condemned to haunt this place. Ja2A_146 0 1 0 147 1 0,3,2,3,0 0 I'm sorry. I have nothing to offer. And there's no way I can prove anything I might say. All I can do is throw myself on your mercy. Please help me. 1 1 0 An honest man. I like that. It's true, you can't prove anything to me. So I suppose I'll just have to take a chance on ye. Ja2A_147 0 1 0 148 0 1 0,3,1,2,0 Eight years? Yes, of course, your clothes. It looks like an ARP uniform. The air raid people from the Second Great War. But eight years! (BREAK) Look, I'm sorry to tell you this but, almost sixty years have gone by out there. 1 1 0 As many as that? I knew time was passing quicker outside, (BREAK) but as many as that. (He puts his hand to his brow) Oh God. Kathleen. (PAUSE) How long have ye been gone girl. (BREAK) (to player) Why are ye telling me this? Ja2A_148 0 0 0 149 0 1 0,3,2,3,0 Because I suspect that only the grail can keep you alive if you leave this place. We can leave together. It's a wonderful world out there. A world of miracles. So much has changed. 1 1 0 You'll offer anything to get yourself out of there won't you. What do I want with such a world. There is no place for the likes of me out there. (BREAK) All I want now is to die in the open air. And I'll get out without the help of the likes of you. Ja2A_149 0 1 0 150 0 1 0,3,2,3,0 Because I think you should know that if you do try and leave, the years will probably catch you up and kill you. 1 1 0 Aye. And I'm long past joining my wife in the grave I tell ye. All I want is a peaceful death in the open air. Mebbe you'll help me. Come on, I'll let ye out. Ja2A_150 0 1 0 2B 0 1 0 A 0 0 Thank you. 1 1 0 Right. Now, I've managed to keep myself out of the way of the knights all these years by finding the one place they canna go. I suggest you follow me there. It's a good place to rest and we can talk some more if ye like. Ja2B_A 0 1 0 3 0 35 0 101 0 0 What can you tell me of Sir Guy? 1 1 0 Answer text missing! Ja3_101 2 0 0 102 3 0,1,3,1,0 0,9,4,0,0 0,5,5,1,0 1 5,434 Do you know anything about alchemical experiments that were conducted in the temple? 1 1 0 Answer text missing! Ja3_102 1 0 0 11 0 0 What can you tell me about the rest of this place? 1 1 0 All I know is that there are deeper levels of the temple where they keep the grail hidden and guarded by something they only refer to as the Mantichora. I've no idea what that might mean. Ja3_11 0 0 0 12 0 0 What can you tell me about grailstone? 1 1 0 It seems to be very important to the knights. But I've never seen any. Ja3_12 0 0 0 13 1 0,3,4,17,0 4 5,312 5,446 0,8,1,18,0 0,9,4,12,0 I heard mention of someone called Geffrye. What can you tell me about him? 1 1 0 As I understand it, he was the architect and designer of this place. He generally keeps to the lower part of the temple. I don't hear him about much. He rarely comes up to the library. Ja3_13 0 0 0 15 0 0 There are dangerous animals down here. What are they? How did they get here? 1 1 0 The knights call them Theos. They're horrendous things. I've had more than one scrape with them over the years when I've been snooping about, as ye can probably tell. Ja3_15 0 0 0 152 0 0 How did you get down here? 1 1 0 I'd just come home from London on leave. I was a volunteer in the blitz. Walking on the long path from the station to ma village and suddenly the ground disappeared beneath me. I couldn't climb back up, so I explored, looking for another way out and got lost. (BREAK) When I finally found my way back to where I started with a makeshift ladder, they'd shored up the collapsed cave. Ja3_152 0 0 0 155 0 0 How have you survived down here? 1 1 0 Keeping out of the way of the guardians. The only one I ever came face to face with was Tallum. He was in agony when I shone my torch on him. So when I found this place, I knew it was going to be safe. (BREAK) There was a nest of those creatures here. I penned them up for food and used the fat for torches so I could explore when my warden's lamp stopped working. Ja3_155 0 0 0 156 0 1 0,3,4,7,0 If it's a safe place here, why do you risk getting caught by the knights or the Theos by leaving it? 1 1 0 Have you ever tried staying in the same room for eight years. The knights would be sane compared to me if I'd have done that. Ja3_156 0 0 0 157 0 1 6,70 How did the chest Lurka wanted so badly get into the docks? That place is almost as well lit as this room, so who put it there for them? 1 1 0 Ah, my secret is out it seems. (BREAK) Yes. Tobias knows I'm here. And he made a deal with me to keep his silence and keep me in eugenes in return for putting the chest there. He also made me put a winch handle in a barrell on the ship and I have to keep all the working parts serviceable. (BREAK) I must admit, he really disturbs me. He endlessly asks me questions about the outside world when he comes here. And there's a strange light in his eyes when he does. Ja3_157 0 0 0 16 0 0 How many others like me have you seen down here? 1 1 0 None. Apart from the dead one in the other gibbet. Ja3_16 0 0 0 162 0 3 0,8,1,8,0 0,8,1,10,0 0,8,1,17,0 Apparently there is a spy amongst the knights. What do you know about this? 1 1 0 Answer text missing! Ja3_162 1 0 0 19 4 5,445 0,7,3,8,0 0,7,3,11,0 5,326 1 5,316 I found a parchment that mentioned the Templar's plans to infiltrate the Scottish Freemasons. Did they succeed? 1 1 0 Answer text missing! Ja3_19 1 0 0 20 3 0,10,1,8,0 0,1,3,9,0 0,7,3,9,0 1 0,6,0,10,0 I saw what I think was a ghost by an old well. What do you know about her? 1 1 0 Ah, yes. Niamh. A sad tale. When I first found myself down here, that became my first hiding place. Later on, when I discovered that your chances of leaving this place when you're dead are even worse than when you're alive, I knew even suicide wasn't an option. Ja3_20 0 0 0 22 0 1 6,70 There's some kind of creature in the waters here. I've never seen anything like it. What was it? 1 1 0 I nearly fell foul of that damn beast myself. God only knows what manner of Hell it came from. Even the knights seem in terror of it. Ja3_22 0 0 0 23 4 0,7,1,0,0 0,7,1,1,0 0,7,2,0,0 0,3,4,17,0 6 5,447 0,10,1,27,0 0,4,2,14,0 0,1,3,14,0 0,3,4,33,0 0,9,4,12,0 I've heard mention of someone called Philip. What can you tell me about him? 1 1 0 Yes. He's one of the knights. I've only heard his name mentioned though. Ja3_23 0 0 0 24 4 5,316 0,7,3,11,0 0,7,3,8,0 5,445 1 5,447 I read something in a parchment I found about 'brothers above ground.' Can you tell me anything about this? 1 1 0 Answer text missing! Ja3_24 1 0 0 26 1 0,9,4,12,0 0 Tell me about the guardians. 1 1 0 There's not much I can tell ye.There were twelve originally, and now there's only five. Tallum, Edgar, Philip, Tobias and Geffrye. I avoid them like the plague. Ja3_26 0 0 0 27 0 0 Can you help me get to the grail? 1 1 0 No. I'm afraid not. I've never been able to get into the deeper part of the temple. And I really don't want to. Ja3_27 0 0 0 37 1 0,3,4,17,0 4 3,10 0,7,3,32,0 0,4,2,14,0 0,3,4,7,0 What can you tell me about Tallum? 1 1 0 He's a vicious Ned that one. When I first found myself down here, I shone my torch right in his face and I thought he was going to cut through solid rock to find me, he went so crazy. Ja3_37 0 0 0 39 4 0,7,3,16,0 0,1,3,16,0 0,5,5,16,0 0,9,4,13,0 1 6,9 The well is very ancient. Do you know who may have built it? 1 1 0 Niamh talks about her Gods having a place deep down, probably beneath the temple. I've heard Tobias mention the Byantine areas, but that's all I know about it. Ja3_39 0 0 0 41 1 0,6,1,20,1 1 0,3,4,13,0 Tell me about Oisin, the ghost's lover. 1 1 0 He left her down here. God only know why. Ja3_41 0 0 0 45 0 1 0,6,1,21,0 I've heard mention of deeper realms. Wondrous places, they were described as. 1 1 0 All I know is that there are deeper levels of the temple where they keep the grail hidden and guarded by something they only refer to as the Mantichora. I've no idea what that might mean. Ja3_45 0 0 0 46 1 0,7,3,19,0 1 0,6,1,23,0 What do you know about a Sasha? 1 1 0 I think that was the ghost Niamh's sister. Ja3_46 0 0 0 48 3 0,7,3,20,0 0,5,5,20,0 0,3,4,24,0 3 5,353 5,445 5,346 Who is Baphomet? 1 1 0 I've heard Tobias on the listening tube, speaking in a deep voice and proclaiming to be Baphomet. He always does it quite a way over from where he normally speaks, so I can't hear him properly. (BREAK) I think it's some kind of play act. Mebbe to pass the time. I don't know. They're all completely crazy. Ja3_48 0 0 0 53 0 5 5,345 0,10,1,26,0 0,8,1,9,0 0,5,5,7,0 0,9,4,5,0 Do you know who Cobweb is? 1 1 0 Answer text missing! Ja3_53 2 0 0 54 1 0,3,4,17,0 3 0,7,1,0,0 0,7,1,1,0 0,7,2,0,0 What can you tell me about Philip? 1 1 0 Yes. He's one of the knights. I've only heard his name mentioned though. I've never heard or seen him. Ja3_54 0 0 0 65 0 3 5,447 5,345 0,8,1,15,0 What can you tell me about the Prieure? 1 1 0 Answer text missing! Ja3_65 1 0 0 66 4 0,7,3,26,0 0,5,5,25,0 0,9,4,21,0 0,1,3,25,0 1 5,322 Do you know if the pasture cavern is still accessible? 1 1 0 Answer text missing! Ja3_66 1 0 0 67 0 5 5,323 5,330 0,7,3,2,0 0,1,3,30,0 0,5,5,30,0 What can you tell me about Malik? 1 1 0 As far as I've been able to hear through my listening tube, he's the only one who ever got out of here and lived. I've heard them talk about him wreaking havoc in the outside world. I suppose he must have taken some of that grailstone stuff with him to keep him alive. Ja3_67 0 0 0 68 0 2 5,323 0,7,3,27,0 Can you tell me where Malik's court is? 1 1 0 Answer text missing! Ja3_68 1 0 0 69 0 4 5,326 5,346 0,1,3,13,0 0,10,9,0,0 What can you tell me about the 'vision of the holy thief'? 1 1 0 All I can say is you're unlucky Tobias is as mad as the rest of them. He's always prattling on to Lurka in there about his precious vision. You'd never have got in here without it. (BREAK) Apparently, he foresaw the coming of a thief destined to take the grail back into the outside world. Ja3_69 0 0 0 80 1 0,3,4,17,0 0 Tell me more about Tobias. 1 1 0 Oh, what can I say. He's become just like the rest. This place drives you crazy. It warps and twists you. As far as I can tell it takes about six years for the effects to be felt. (bows his head) And it's happening to me. My minds OK so far I think, but my body's starting to change. (looks up again) But I tell ye this, I'll find a way out before I end up like them, God help me, yes I will. Ja3_80 0 0 0 81 1 0,3,4,17,0 10 0,7,1,2,0 0,7,1,3,0 0,9,0,4,0 0,9,0,5,0 0,7,3,13,0 0,7,3,24,0 0,4,2,14,0 0,4,4,4,0 0,1,1,0,0 0,9,4,12,0 What do you know of Edgar? 1 1 0 I've never seen him or heard him on the tube over there. All I know is that he and Philip are in cahoots against Tobias. Ja3_81 0 0 0 999 0 0 OK Jack. Thanks for your help. I'd better head off. 1 1 0 All right my friend. Good luck. Ja3_999 0 1 0 3A 1 0 1 0 A 0 0 DO NOT DISPLAY 1 1 0 Ah, I'm tired. But it's been so long since I had anyone to talk to. Please, what do you want to know? Ja3A_A 0 0 1 3 4 5 1 0 1 0 A 0 0 DO NOT DISPLAY 2 1 1 0,3,0,0,0 My name's Jack. I know what you lot are down here for. You've come for the grail. Haven't ye. (BREAK) Well, I hate this whole thing. I hate the way these people are playing games with all of you. The knights don't know about me, even though I've been down here since 1943. I've come out of hiding to help you people and in the hope that you can get me out of here. (BREAK) Well, we're in a fine mess. I thought I was drowned for sure. The water poured in like nothing I've ever seen. Look, maybe if we work together, we can get out of it. Ja5_A 0 1 0 2 0 Hello again my friend. Well, we seem to be in a fine pickle now. Look, mebbe working together will get us out of it. Ja5_AB 0 1 0
