==Interactions==
===In My Time of Need===
The Dragonborn encounters some Alik'r warriors in search of a Redguard woman. They must choose whether to believe the warriors, and return the woman to custody, or trust the fugitive and kill her pursuers. If Saadia is sided with, she will ask the Dragonborn to go to Dragonsreach Dungeon and speak to a prisoner there in order to learn where the Alik'r are hiding. Interrogating him, he will require his bail to be paid; 100 will need to be paid to the guard in the dungeon to clear the prisoner's fines. Once his fine is paid, the prisoner then reveals that Kematu is at Swindler's Den.
==Dialogue==
Show: In My Time of Need
In the Dragonsreach Dungeon:
"What are you looking at?"
:I need to find Kematu. Where is he hiding? "You have a death wish, then? If you know that name, you must know to meet him would be to meet your end. But it seems we both have needs, friend. Perhaps we can help each other out."
::What is it that you need? "I have dishonored my brothers by being captured, and so they have left me here. My life with the Alik'r is over now, but I have no wish to die in this gods-forsaken land. If I can be released from prison, I may start over. See to that, and I'll tell you what you want to know."
:::How much to pay your fine? "100 gold will secure my release. You can afford that, can't you? I suppose you'd better hope you can, if you want the information. Get the money into the hands of one of these guards, and I'll tell you what you want to know."
:::Why did they leave you here? "Because I was clumsy enough to be captured. Kematu always says we're supposed to be the best of the best. I wasn't."
"Good day."
After paying his fine:
Let's talk about how we can help each other. "You buy my way out of here, and I'll tell you what you want to know."
:Your fine's been paid. Now tell me about Kematu. "Very well. Kematu is west of Whiterun. It's an unassuming little cave called Swindler's Den. You realize if you set foot in there, you're never coming back out. They'll kill you. But that's your problem, not mine."
==Conversations==
Prisoner: "Guard! My fine's been paid, now set me free!"
Guard: "Sorry, my ears aren't so good. You say something?"
Prisoner: "I said my fine has been paid! Now let me out!"
Guard: "Right, right... Oh, look at that. I seem to have lost my keys. Might take me a while to find them. You just sit tight, I'll get around to it eventually."
Prisoner: "Curse you!"
==Trivia==
*If the guard is pickpocketed, his keys open every cell of the prison; except the cell of the Alik'r Prisoner.
==Bugs==
* Sometimes, even after his fine is paid and the quest completed, he will still be in his cell.
* Sometimes you will pay the guard the fine, the guard will no longer talk to you, but the prisoner will still ask you to help him. If this is the case, the only thing you can do is try to reload the game before and retry it. Sometimes it helps to leave the area and come back. Make sure you save before paying the guard.
*Sometimes, if the Dragonborn starts a fight with him by opening his cell and they try to attack him, he will lose no health, hence becoming invincible.
