"It was so wrong...!"

"It was wrong! It was ..so wrong!" "I am so sorry !" I couldn't figure out the rest of the lines of dialogue in the first 10 seconds of the trailer. Some website mentioned the words "Prometheus! Prometheus!" are used like some kind of SOS. Can anyone transcribe? I feel this is one of the creepiest messages in the trailer. Especially the "wrong" part. Ridley talked about "uncivilized" behavior of the aliens/SJ when our heroes encountered them at some point.

i find this very related to Halloway ...i mean she was a bit too optimist and naive and everything caused the ( possible ) death of her bf , not directly of course ...i mean the spirit of the expedition was a bit too optimistic and they did open the famous Pandora's urn .. also is possible that there is a " we were so wrong " ...me ( faith ) you ( science) = WE ..were so wrong ...

Two questions - who is her message intended for, and is the first part of it, "He is coming"?

Yes, yes, yes, agree with Frantz. First time I saw the trailer, I thought she was saying "I was so wrong. We were so wrong...I'm so sorry". Now I've seen it a million times, I don't have any differing opinion. And it fits in with the whole 'looking for our beginning, finding our end' mumbo jumbo. But I can hear something in the background that sounds like 'Prometheus'... Creepy.

The very first line sounded like : "You don't understand... " And followed by a distorted "Prometheus! Prometheus!"

What I hear and there's no guarantee that this is all being said at the same point in the movie... "You don't understand." being whispered Something is said that I can't make out (maybe another "Prometheus!" or something altogether different?) "Prometheus! Prometheus!" "I was wrong." "We were so wrong." "I'm so sorry." kind of crying/sobbing

I thought I heard, 'Prometheus, come in, Prometheus'. But maybe that's because I assumed it was Rapace trying to contact Prometheus on her radio.

Wouldn't it be great if someone posted the audio in clips and slowed them down and boosted the voice frequency range to analyze them.

db73... that's what I thought I heard to... but I too was assuming someone was trying to contact Prometheus. I thought I also heard "You have to...". It's just too difficult to pick up that piece of audio without doing some work on it like Biomechanic mentioned.

Also, whose voice corresponds to which line? The first line: "You don't understand.." sounds like Noomi's. The next lines: "We were wrong. It was so wrong!" sounds like Charlize's. It sounds like Charlize again who speaks the "Sorry" line. An apologetic corporate entity? A first in the Alien franchise, yes? Does Noomi look a lot like Sigourney in that upside down shot..?

I did a little clean up of the audio a while back actually but few downloaded it so the host site removed them. I put them on Google Docs, so they should be a bit more permanent: [url=https://docs.google.com/open?id=0B5D53YXerlmbMjU5NmVjZDAtMTUyNC00NWU3LTgwMDQtMjI4YTYxMjc5Zjhk]Dialogue Full Speed[/url] [url=https://docs.google.com/open?id=0B5D53YXerlmbMmU4NDA1NTItNDJmYi00MjNkLWJmYTgtNjkzZmU2ZWM3ZWZm]1st Phrase Slow[/url] [url= https://docs.google.com/open?id=0B5D53YXerlmbYmMwMDQyYmItYmM4OS00YWYxLWE4NDQtY2VkMWE2OTQ0NDlj]2nd Phrase Slow[/url]

IMO--The big question marks in the voices. Initially the first part sounded like "He is coming" But more than likely I think she is saying "Promethues come in" which makes more sense. I have read three plausible thoughts for the other question mark area. 1) You don't have to stop. 2) You have got to stop. 3) You don't understand. My money is on #2 You have got to stop. I am definately hearing more of an STOP sound than a STAND sound. #1 doesn't make much sense unless it's a Shaw & Holloway encounter like the bed scene in the trailer... If you catch my drift.

@Biomechanic, thanks for the audio! I've been listening to it for ages... Potential SPOILER ALERT!... Here's what I think: I do not think the words are "It was wrong! It was ..so wrong!" but actually, in my honest-to-god/engineer opinion, I do believe the words to be "[i]I[/i] was what we found! It was so wrong!" Thanks to Biomechanics audio, I'm pretty confident on the "...what we found! It was so wrong!" bit, but it's just the beginning of that piece I'm only about 90 percent on, the "[i]I[/i] was..." bit. To my ear it does sound like "I was..." but perhaps it is "It was...", as in "It was what we found! It was so wrong!" What do you guys think???!!! Am I just going mad, lol? EDIT: Imagine the implications of "I was what we found", with respect to faster-than-light travel, which allows time-travel etc. Though the more straight-forward plotline would suggest "It was what we found". Occam's Razor.

How about if this message is the SOS/WARNING in Alien, we hear it as she is saying it at the end of the Prometheus Movie. She is using the Alien Technology to transmit this and it gets digitized into 1's and 0's, Nostromo is unable to fully decode it. Prometheus is lost and the crew is unheard from again back on earth. Weylan and the government cover up the ordeal of the lost crew, So the Nostromo Crew never hears about or is aware of the Prometheus ever existing in the first place. Sorry went on a bit of a tangent.

I too have thought that's a possibility - the transmission at the beginning of Alien is the transmission at the end of Prometheus, distorted.

Prometheus brought fire of knowledge to humans. But do we really want to accept?

There's more here than meets the eye. Could be her last transmission before the ending of the film, which leads into the next film...
