Anamnesis: Ballad of a Memory Thief: The Pilot Episode
Louis Badalament for Oscar Alwyn (CLOSED)
Oscar Alwyn - The target of Silver’s memory heist in this episode. A self made oil baron from the rich neighborhood of Lunis. Cruel, cold, and heartless. Does not show up again in later episodes (killed off in this one). 40 lines.
ALWYN
I don’t what you’re talking about, bartender. We already got our drinks. Leave us.
SILVER (AS BARTENDER)
I’m afraid that I can’t do that.
ALWYN
Do you know who you’re talking to, old man? I guess you don’t. Otherwise you would not be speaking so flippantly.
SILVER (AS BARTENDER)
(calmly)
Your name is Oscar Johnik Alwyn. You’re an oil baron who was built himself into the tycoon you are today. Some call you “kingmaker” because you make or break careers. I know exactly who you are. And these shadowy friends of yours are part of the Dogs of Maura. Not really friends, believe me, they plan to betray you.
SILVER (V.O.)
The lead goon, quite a nasty looking fellow, turned to me.
IRIK
You’re quite wrong, old man. We have been allies with Mr. Alwyn here for almost 15 years now. Enough of this. Oscar, I think we should teach this old man a lesson, one he won’t forget so easily.
ALWYN
By all means, Irik.
…
SILVER (V.O.)
Alwyn struggled to get up, and I could feel his mind beginning to fade away. What had I done!
ALWYN coughs and chuckles.
ALWYN
You were right, memory thief. We all have a weakness. Even you. And now I know what it is. That woman, you can’t let her go, can you. You tried, but it’s impossible. I tried too. I tried to move on and be a good man, or whatever that meant. I tried not to let him get to me, but the dead refuse to stay buried in your mind. So I would still hear his voice whispering in my ear. Telling me I would never be anything better, that I was destined to play this role he had assigned to me. And inevitably, I would always find myself where I belonged. Holding a gun to the back of a so-called friend. It’s just easier that way. I wonder how long before you give in like that.
SILVER
I never meant…I’m not…I-I’m not like you…
ALWYN spits blood.
ALWYN
Take responsibility. Look at yourself in a mirror. Look at the man you have become. You did this. You have…blood on your hands now…just like me...
