Hassan's Shop/Transcript

This is the transcript of "Hassan's Shop," the tenth chapter of Heavy Rain.

Transcript
(The chapter opens with Hassan checking on his products near the register. Scott enters his convenience store.)

Scott: Good evening.

Hassan: Good evening to you, sir.

(The player can view Scott's thoughts here.)

(If Scott chooses "Investigation":)

Scott: Guy behind the counter... Gotta suppose that's him...

(If Scott chooses "Shop":)

Scott: Store's empty...guess it's that time of day... Well, it's a good time for a quiet little talk.

(Scott puts his arms on the counter.)

Hassan: Can I help you, sir?

Scott: Well, I hope so. My name is Scott Shelby. I'm a private detective. I'm investigating the case of the Origami Killer. I'd like to ask you a few questions.

Hassan: My son is dead, Mr. Shelby. I have nothing more to say.

(If Scott chooses "Sympathize":)

Scott: I also lost someone I loved... I know what you're feeling, and...

Hassan: Then you will understand, that I do not wish to talk about it.

(If Scott chooses "Persist":)

Scott: You may know something that could help save other people's lives...

Hassan: I was unable to save the life of my own son. I do not see how I could save the lives of other people.

(If Scott chooses "Save Shaun":)

Scott: The killer has kidnapped another victim... A ten-year-old boy...like your son, Reza. I have four days before we find his body on a deserted stretch of wasteland.

Hassan: No one did anything to save my son... Now, you would please...to move along, sir.

(If Scott chooses "Leave":)

Scott: I'll leave my card, in case you change your mind...

Hassan: Don't bother, Mr. Shelby. There really is no point.

(After choosing "Leave" or two of the other options, Scott gets ready to leave the store but stops for a second.)

Scott: Oh, do you sell inhalers? I'm all out and at least I won't go away completely empty-handed...

(Hassan points to the back of the store, on the right with his finger.)

Hassan: In the back of the store, to the right.

Scott: Thanks.

(Scott can explore the entire store. The player can view his thoughts here.)

(If Scott chooses "Hassan":)

Scott: Pity he didn't want to talk... Might have known something...

(If Scott chooses "Asthma":)

Scott: Goddamn asthma. Can't breathe when it rains.

(Scott picks out a pack of Asthma Spray inhalers. Chimes ring as Andrew, a robber, enters the convenience store.)

Hassan: Good evening, sir.

(A security camera shows video footage of Andrew walking around.)

Hassan: Are you looking for something in particular?

(Andrew stops walking, draws a gun, and points it at Hassan.)

Andrew: Gimme what you got in the register.

(Scott assesses the situation.)

Andrew: Don't fucking try anything...

(Scott prepares to sneak up on Andrew.)

Andrew: Open the register, you dumb fuck! Put the money on the counter!

(Andrew holds Hassan at gunpoint in front of the security cameras. The player can view Scott's thoughts here.)

(If Scott chooses "Not Seen":)

Scott: He hasn't seen me yet... Still got a chance...

(If Scott chooses "Gun":)

Scott: My gun... I left it in the car... Gotta think of something else...

(If Scott chooses "Do Nothing":)

Scott: Better not move. Kid might panic if I try anything...

(If Scott chooses "Hassan":)

Scott: What's his problem? Goddamn principles, always said they were a waste of time...

(If Scott chooses "Right Time":)

Scott: Wait... Wait for it... When he's turned the other way...

(If Scott chooses "Route":)

Scott: Maybe it's less dangerous if I sneak up the aisle behind him.

(If Scott chooses "Do Something":)

Scott: A young guy...and he's armed...and he looks nervous... Things are gonna get out of hand if I don't do something.

(If Scott chooses "Hold Up Man":)

Scott: ...If I could sneak up behind him without making any noise... Be as quiet as possible...

Andrew: Shit, are you deaf or what? Are you gonna open the fuckin' register or not?

Hassan: No, sir. You do not have the right to steal that money from me. I have worked very hard to earn it. You cannot have it.

Andrew: What did you say? You're outta your fuckin' mind, man. You don't get it, do you?... I'm gonna put a fuckin' bullet right between your eyes if you don't do what I say... Now!!!

Hassan: You shall not be robbing my register, sir. That money is mine. I ask you now to leave before it is too late...

Andrew: Christ! Goddamn idiot! Open the register! Don't make me fucking kill you!

Hassan: No sir, that I cannot do!

Andrew: I'll waste you man. I ain't jokin'. I swear to God, man, I'll blow your fucking brains out!

(Andrew hits Hassan with the muzzle of his gun to get him to open the register. He tries to open it by himself, but can't, so he tries to force it open. It stays shut.)

Andrew: Fuck. Fuck... The goddamn thing is locked!

(The "Idea" thought appears after Hassan gets hit by Andrew.)

(If Scott chooses "Idea":)

Scott: Hassan's gonna get whacked if I don't do something fast.

(Andrew tries to force the register open again, but it still stays shut, frustrating him.)

Andrew: I'm gonna count to three. If you haven't opened the register by the count of three, I swear to God, man, I'm gonna blow your fucking brains out. 1...

Hassan: There's almost nothing in the register... You wouldn't kill a man for a few dollars...

Andrew: 2...

Hassan: It is not right, sir... It is not right...

Andrew: 3...

(Andrew fires a shot, reacting with shock when he hits Hassan in the neck.)

Andrew: Oh shit! Oh shit!

(Blood pours from Hassan's neck. Andrew backs off and leaves the convenience store.)

(If Hassan got shot, Scott's thoughts will appear.)

(If Scott chooses "Guilt":)

Scott: I should have done something. Maybe I could have prevented this.

(If Scott chooses "Panic":)

Scott: Shit! He shot him... He shot Hassan...

(If Scott walks over to Hassan and kneels:)

Hassan: ...I wish I...had lived long enough to...look into the eyes of the man who killed my Reza... Too much anger, here...

(Hassan keeps covering the wound in his neck to prevent blood loss, but dies of exsanguination. Scott looks at him sadly as he dies, closes his eyes, and leaves the convenience store empty-handed, ending the chapter.)

(If Scott is almost close enough to knock Andrew out:)

Scott: Don't turn around... Just don't turn around...

(If Scott successfully sneaks up on Andrew and knocks him out with a bottle or pan:)

Scott: Punk. You didn't give me any choice...

(If Scott makes noise or gets too close to Andrew while he's holding Hassan up, he turns around and holds Scott at gunpoint.)

Andrew: Hey you!! Come here! I said come here now!!

(If Scott makes noise or gets too close to Andrew while holding a glass bottle or a pan, he is forced to drop it.)

Andrew: Fuck!... Drop it... Now!

(Andrew continues to hold Scott at gunpoint as he talks.)

Andrew: Don't move! Hands up! Put your fucking hands up or I'll shoot!

(If Scott doesn't raise his hands:)

Andrew: Are you deaf!? I said put your hands up! I'm warning you...I'll shoot!

(If Scott doesn't raise his hands again:)

Andrew: If you don't raise your fuckin' hands right now, you're dead! I'm not jokin', man, I'll blow your fuckin' brains out!

(If Scott still doesn't raise his hands, he gets shot in the shoulder.)

(If Scott raises his hands for a longer time, dialogues will appear:)

(If Scott chooses "Haven't A Chance":)

Scott: So what are you gonna do? Someone could walk in the store any minute and sound the alarm. You haven't got a chance of gettin' outta this...

Andrew: The first guy to walk in here gets it right in the face... Fuck it, man, you're makin' me nervous and when I'm nervous there's no knowin' what I'll do...

(If Scott chooses "Police":)

Scott: The cops could turn up any minute. They don't give a damn about you. They'll shoot first and ask questions later.

Andrew: You tryin' to freak me out, is that it? You're tryin' to scare me? I don't give a damn about the goddamn cops. If they turn up I'll just blast everyone!

(If Scott chooses "Indulgent":)

Scott: Look, everyone can make mistakes. What's important is to know when to stop making them...

Andrew: I know what I'm doin'...'course I know what I'm doin'.

(If Scott chooses "Threaten":)

Scott: I think you're making the biggest mistake of your life... Pull that trigger! I promise you, you'll regret it...

Andrew: Yeah? I think you're the one who's really gonna regret it...

(If Scott chooses "Aggressive":)

Scott: Hey, what're you gonna do, shoot me? Is that it? You think you can get away with it? You kill me and it's a one-way ticket to the electric chair...

Andrew: I ain't afraid of you, mister... You're forgettin' who's holding the gun...

(If Scott chooses "Reason":)

Scott: Look, it's not worth it... Put the gun down and just walk away.

Andrew: You giving me advice? I'll give you some fucking advice!!!

(If Scott chooses "Name":)

Scott: My name's Scott. What about you, what's your name?

Andrew: Andrew... My name's Andrew...

(If Scott chooses "Calm":)

Scott: Don't panic, let's just stay calm. Nobody here wants to hurt you. Now we're all just gonna be cool and everything will be all right.

Andrew: Yeah... Yeah, I'm cool man. Everything's gonna be all fuckin' right...

(If Scott chooses "Affective":)

Scott: Do you have anyone you care for in your life? A girlfriend maybe...a family?

Andrew: (Starts choking up.) Yeah... A little girl...I got a little girl. Her name's Jessica.

Scott: What would Jessica think if she saw you here? Ask yourself... What would happen to her if things go wrong...

(If Scott chooses "Help":)

Scott: You don't really want to shoot anybody, do you? I'm sure we can find a way out of this mess, right?

(If Scott chooses "Killer?":)

Scott: You're not a killer, are you? You just want a few extra dollars but no blood on your hand...

Andrew: No... I'm not a killer... I ain't no killer...

(If Scott chooses "Nothing Serious":)

Scott: You haven't done anything serious yet. If you put the gun away, we'll forget about what just happened and that will be the end of it. Just walk away...

Andrew: Nothing serious?... Shit, man, what the fuck do you think I'm doin' here?...

(If Scott chooses "Drop Weapon":)

Scott: Now I want you to put the gun back in your pocket and quietly walk out of the store. My friend and I will forget about what just happened and you'll have earned a second chance not to fuck up your life. What do you say?

(If Scott successfully persuades Andrew, he puts the gun in his pocket, backs out of the store, and runs off.)

(If Scott fails to persuade Andrew:)

Andrew: Nice try... For a second there, you almost had me believing all your shit!

(Andrew turns back toward Hassan and holds him at gunpoint.)

Andrew: And now, gimme the money. I'm gonna count to three. 1... 2... 3...

(If Scott does nothing after he fails to persuade Andrew, the outcome is the same as if he did nothing in the aisles.)

(If Scott faces Andrew, but fails to grapple him, he gets shot in the shoulder.)

(If Scott gets shot after not raising his hands or failing to grab Andrew's gun, Hassan runs over to check on him.)

Hassan: Don't move, sir. I'll call for an ambulance.

Scott: No, I'll be all right. The bullet just grazed my shoulder... Goddamn punk kid, doesn't even know how to use a gun...

Hassan: Thank you for helping me... I don't know what would have happened without you...

(If Scott faces Andrew, grabs his gun, and knocks him out with a punch, he kicks his gun away.)

(If Scott successfully persuades Andrew or knocks him out:)

Hassan: A thousand thank-you's, sir... I don't know what would have happened if you had not been here...

Scott: Well, at least I didn't come by for nothing... Have a nice day.

(After any of the above outcomes, Hassan takes a shoebox out from under the counter.)

Hassan: When my boy Reza disappeared, I received a letter with a locker ticket inside. Inside the locker I found this box. I do not understand what it means... But I think it must be a sort of message from the man who took my son from me.

Scott: Can I?

(Hassan pushes the box toward Scott, who opens it to reveal some origami figures. He takes out an origami lizard and examines it.)

Hassan: Please... Take the box if it can be of any use to you at all. It did not help me to save Reza... But maybe it will help you find the other little boy...

(As Scott is about to leave, Hassan stops him.)

Hassan: Mr. Shelby? I was beginning to think that there was no good to be found in this place... But I can see now that I was wrong.

(Scott leaves the convenience store with a free pack of Asthma Spray inhalers and the shoebox full of origami figures, ending the chapter.)
