Get Charlie. Dr. Holloway! Charlie! What?! Come quick! Did you date it? 35,000 years. Maybe older. Hmm. You got to be kidding me. It’s the same configuration. It’s got to predate the others by a millennium. I think they want us to come find them. What happened to that man? He died. Why aren’t you helping them? They don’t want my help. Their god is different than ours. Why did he die? Sooner or later everyone does. Like mummy? Like mummy. Where do they go? Everyone has their own word. Heaven. Paradise. Whatever it’s called, it’s some place beautiful. How do you know it’s beautiful? Because that’s what I choose to believe, but what do you believe? Good morning, David. Transmitting message. No response. Whilst this matter of articulation is attested in the Indo-European dissidence as a purely pair of linguistic form, it is phonemic in the ancestral form dating back five millennia or more. Now, let’s attempt Schleicher's fable. Repeat after me: (speaks language) Perfect. Mr. Lawrence? Yes. Flimsy, sir. Thank you. You'll do that once too often. It's only flesh and blood. Michael George Hartley, you're a philosopher. And you're balmy! It damn well hurts! Certainly, it hurts. What's the trick, then? The trick, William Potter, is not minding that it hurts. DAVID: The trick, William Potter, is not minding that it hurts. The trick, William Potter, is not minding that it hurts. Attention! Destination threshold! Attention! Destination threshold! Attention! Destination threshold! Robe! How long? 2 years, 4 months, 18 days, 36 hours, 15 minutes. Any causalities? Causalities, ma’am? Has anyone died? No, ma’am. Everyone is fine. Then wake them up. Try to relax, Dr. Shaw. My name is David. Your mind and body are in a state of shock, as a result of the stasis. It’s alright. It’s perfectly normal. Ellie? We’re here, baby. Ha! Drink plenty of water. Drink plenty of fluids. Hydration aids muscle mass. All crew. Consume shakes with high protein content. What the hell is that? It’s Christmas. Need the holidays to sum time is still moving. Mission briefing is about to start, Captain. Might wanna make your way down. Well, I haven’t had my breakfast yet. Hi. I’m Millburn. Biology. Nice to meet you. Okay. Look, um, no offense, but I’ve been asleep two years. I ain’t here to be your friend. I’m here to make money. You got that? Okay. About a hundred credits it’s a terraforming survey. No. If it’s a terraforming survey they would just tell us. This is a corporate run, they aren’t telling us shit. Come on. Hundred. Alright. You’re on. You look nervous, Elle. I’m trying to keep my feet on the ground. And there you will. Good morning. For those of you I hired personally, it’s nice to see you again. For the rest of you, I am Meredith Vickers, and it is my job to make sure you do yours. Okay, then. On with the show. Weyland Corporations. Building better worlds. Hello, friends. My name is Peter Weyland. I am your employer. I am recording this 22 June 2091. And if you are watching this, you have reached your destination and I am long dead. May I rest in peace. There’s a man sitting with you today. His name is David. He is the closest thing to a son I’ll ever have. Unfortunately, he’s not human. He will never grow old and he will never die and yet he is unable to appreciate these remarkable gifts for that would require the one thing that David will never have. A soul. I have spent my entire lifetime contemplating the questions: Where do we come from? What is our purpose? What happens when we die? And I have finally found two people who have convinced me they’re on the verge of answering. Drs. Holloway and Shaw, if you would please stand. As far as you’re concerned, they’re both in charge. The titan Prometheus wanted to give mankind equal footing with the gods and for that he was cast from Olympus. Well, my friends, the time has finally come for his return. Doctors, please. The floor is yours. Okay, Uh- wow. Alright. Never had to follow a ghost before. Okay. Let me show you guys why you are here. These are images of archaeological digs from all over the Earth. That’s Egyptian, Mayan, Samarian, Babylonian, that’s Hawaiian at the end there, then Mesopotamian. Now this one here is our most recent discovery. It’s a 35,000 year old cave painting from the Isle of Skye in Scotland. These are ancient civilizations that were separated by centuries that shared no contact and yet, the same pictogram, showing men worshiping giant beings pointing to the stars was discovered at every last one of them. The only galactic system that matched was so far from Earth that there’s no way that these primitives, ancient civilizations could have possibly known about. But it just so happens, that system has a sun. A lot like ours. And based on our long ranged scans, there seemed to be a planet. Just one planet with a moon capable of sustaining life and we arrive there this morning. So you’re saying we’re here because of a map you two kids found in a cave, is that right? -No. -Yeah. No, not a map. An invitation. From whom? We call them Engineers. Engineers? You mind telling us what they engineered? They engineered us? Bullshit. Okay, so uh, do you have anything to back that up? I mean, look, if you’re willing to discount three centuries of Darwinism, that’s woo! But how do you know? Hmm? I don’t. But it’s what I choose to believe. Doctors. Ms. Vickers would like to have a quick word before the adventure begins. Wow. Nice place. It’s actually a separate module with its own self-contained life support. Air. Food. Anything Ms. Vickers would need to survive a hostile environment. Okay, so she lives on a life boat. Yes. I do. I like to minimize risk. David, why don’t you make the doctors a drink. I’ll take a Vodka. Up. Charlie, look. It’s a medpod. They only made a dozen of these. Please verbally state the nature of your injury. Ms. Shaw. Please don’t touch that. It’s a very expense piece of machinery. It does bypass surgery. What do you need it for? I think there might be some confusion about our relationship. Weyland found you impressive enough to fund this mission, but I’m fairly certain your ‘Engineers’ are nothing but scribblings of savages living in dirty, little caves. But let’s I’m wrong and you do find these beings down there. You won’t engage them, you won’t talk to them, you’ll do nothing but report back to me. Ms. Vickers, is there an agenda that you're not telling us about? My company paid a trillion dollars to find this place and to bring you here. Had you raised the money yourself, Mr. Holloway, we'd happily be pursuing your agenda. But you didn’t. And that makes you an employee. Ha ha ha. But if we can’t make contact, why did you- why did you even bring us here? Weyland was a superstitious man. He wanted a true believer on board. Cheers. So, no response. I’m sorry. No. Maybe they didn’t understand it. How are your lesson going, David? I spent two years deconstructing dozens of ancient languages to their roots. I’m confident I can communicate with them provided you thesis is corrected. Provided it’s correct, that’s good. That’s why they call it a thesis, doctor. What are smiling about? Alright, Mr. Ravel, Mr. Chance, let’s take her down. Roger that. Yes, captain. How we doing? Great. Alright, boss. All personnel, this is the captain. Brace for entry. Yes, captain. That means you too, Vickers. What it the atmosphere? Atmosphere. 71% nitrogen, 21% oxygen, traces of argon gas. Whoa. Now that is weather. Just like home. Only if you’re breathing thru an exhaust pipe. CO2 is over 3%. Two minutes without a suit, you’re dead. Peak. Portside. Whoa. 52,000 makes Everest look like baby brother. Take us ‘round. Wanna use that as our point of entry. Plain data rising up. We got a couple of hard spots. Could be metal. No radio, no feed source. Nobody’s home. There is nothing in the desert and no man needs nothing. What was that? Just something from a film I like. Let’s go through that gateway. Juice air speed by a hundred knots. Going through. Nice and slow. Keep us steady, boys. There! No! What are doing? Dr. Holloway, why don’t you take a seat?! Right there. God does not build in straight lines. Starboard side! This valley! Captain, do you think you can put us down there? Yeah, I wouldn’t be any good if I couldn’t do that! Mr. Ravel, starboard. 90 degrees. One mile, port bow. One mile, port bow. Engage landing sequence! System manual! Commence landing! Yeah baby! Bring her down in 5, 4, easy does it. Captain, would you please tell the survey team to suit up and meet us in the airlock. It’s only six hours left till the day’s out. Why don’t you leave it for the morning? Oh nonono. It’s Christmas, captain and I want to open my presents. You, boy! You’re coming with us. I’d be delighted. Hey, Jackson. What’s that for? Expedition security. My job is to makes sure everybody nice and safe. This is a scientific expedition. No weapons. Alright, then. Good luck with that. David. Why are wearing a suit, man? I beg your pardon? You don’t breathe, remember? So, why wear the suit? I was designed like this because you people are more comfortable interacting with your own kind. If I didn’t wear the suit, it would defeat the purpose. Making you guys pretty close, huh? Not too close I hope. Hey. This is just one small step for mankind. Seriously. Woo. You ready to do this?! I know you are! Hey, Fifield, I want a spectrograph on that structure. I want to know if it’s natural or if somebody put it there, alright? I can’t tell if it’s natural or not, but what I can tell you is, it’s hollow. Prometheus, are you seeing this? Affirmative. We see it. You ready? Yeah. Let’s do it. After you. After you. Careful. Prometheus, we’re going in. Copy that. What’s back here? Some kind of a corridor? Mr. Fifield, let’s get a grid of the structure. I want the whole interior. If there’s anything in here worth looking at, these pups will find them. Pups? My pups. (howls like dog) Prometheus, we are now mapping. Copy that. Well, I’ll be damned. Fifield, you got a read? Yeah. Pups are saying this way. Look at this. Oh, god. Jesus. Sunlight’s heating the water. Check out the humidity. Yeah. Look at the CO2 levels. Outside it’s completely toxic and in here it’s nothing. It’s breathable. What are doing? Charlie, don’t be an idiot. Hey, don’t be a skeptic. Right, there’s something generating an atmosphere. David? Dr. Holloway is correct. Cleaner than Earth, actually. They were terraforming here! Please don’t do this! Look, Ellie, I’m not wearing this thing anymore. Wish me luck, baby. -Do you hear me? Do you copy? Do not remove your head gear! Ahh! Woo! Hahaha You crazy bastard! Prometheus, connect our suit cameras if you want to continue watching this freak show we are taking off our helmets. Copy that. Switching feeds. Well, come on. Pay up. Pay what? What do you mean pay what? Something’s manufacturing breathable air down there. That made its terraforming. No no no. The bet was why we came here. If you said the dead, old man wanted to talk to Martians, then I’d pay. Oh come on. A hundred credits. Put it towards a lap dance off Ms. Vickers. How about that, eh? It’s minus 12 in here. So, why is this water not frozen? Maybe it ain’t water. Maybe it’s Martian piss. That’s your scientific theory. Is it, Mr. Biology? Whatever it is, it sure is clean. Impressive. What was that? David? What is that? David? Ellie! What the hell was that? Aren’t we glad we didn’t bring weapons?! Whose idea was that?! Come on! Where’d it go? There it is! Oh my god! We found them! What’d you mean them? Looks like a door. And he’s been decapitated by it. Son-of-a-bitch. They were right. You wanted them to be wrong? David, please tell me you can read that. Perhaps. No. I’m out of here! Hey, Fifield! Where are you going? What? Look. I’m just a geologist! I like rocks! I love rocks! That’s clear you two don’t give a shit about rocks, but what you do seem to care about is what is gigantic, dead bodies and I don’t really have anything to contribute in the gigantic, dead body arena! I gonna go back to the ship, if you don’t mind. Anyone want to join me, eh? You staying? No. Ship’s good. Yeah. Ship’s very good. Congratulations on meeting you’re maker. Thank you. Pull yourself together, man. I thought you were the crazy one. Do you have the carbon reader? Thank you. How long’s it been dead? Two thousand years, give or take. What are you doing, David? I’m attempting to open the door. Wait. We don’t know what’s on the other side. Oops. Sorry. Look, Ford. It’s the head. An amazing state of preservation. We’ll take it in. Yeah. Remarkably human. Beautiful painting. It’s a mural. Stop. Stop. Don’t touch it. Sorry. Please don’t touch anything. It’s sweating. Organic. Oh no. Charlie, the murals are changing. I think we’ve affected the atmosphere in the room. Charlie, do you copy? Overhead! Ford! Quick! Help me bag the head! Boss. What’d you got? We got an incoming storm front. Silica and lots of static. This is not good. I see it. This is Janek. I need you to hustle back, right now. Ground group, do you copy? I got 200 kilometers winds of airborne silica and enough static to fry your suits. Copy that, sir. But we need more time here. I’ll be closing the outer doors in 15 minutes. I sincerely hope you can make it. Charlie! David! We must leave now! This is just another tomb. David! 1, 2, 3, up! Let’s go! David, we are leaving! Come on! Dammit! They’ve already taken off! Come on, let’s go! You’re running out of time! I repeat! You’re running out of time! Alright. Come on. Let’s go! Go faster! Charlie! The head! Ellie! No! What are doing! Ahh!! Hatch doors close in five seconds! Shit. Hold on! Goddamit. Doors are closing! Grab my hand! No! Ellie! Decontamination at level three. So, what was that, Ellie? Huh? You could have compromise the entire mission, not to mention almost killing yourself! Are you alright? Yes. Thank you, David. My pleasure. Alright. The optimism is real good to have you back, but where’s Millburn and Fifield? Aren’t they back yet? Keep them up for a while, alright? We’ve been here before, Fifield. No no. It all looks the same to me. Boys, this is the captain. Listen up. Between the static electricity and the wind speed, well, there ain’t no safe way to come get you. What? Now, temperature is dropping rapidly, so get your helmets and stay warm, till the storm passes. Can you get a message to the scientist and that zealot girlfriend of his? Mhmm. Know what they’re paying me by? No. I think we got it. Tell them to (static) themselves. Copy? Copy that! Alright, boys, keep your head down and we’ll come get you in the morning. Which way now? Alright. Which way?! Okay. Sample is sterile. No contingent present. David. So, are they all dead? What? Who? Your Engineers. Are they all dead or aren’t they? I don’t know. We just got here. Scan. Do you even care if they’re all dead? Weyland cared. Dr. Shaw? Have a look at this. It’s not an exoskeleton. No. I think it’s a helmet. Let’s see if we can lift it up? Yeah. Should be able to pry this open. It’s too heavy for us. David? Careful. Like so. What is that on its head? Looks like new cells in a state of... Change. Yes. Changing into what? Can you run a stem line into the Locus coeruleus? I think we can trick the nervous system into thinking it’s still alive. 30 ms. Okay. No more. Let me make an incision. Okay. Go up 40. Okay. 40 up. Did you see that? Yes! See! Go up another ten. Okay. Up ten. A little too much. Go down ten. Okay. Down ten. Down another twenty. I’m trying. I’m trying it’s up and down. Go down. Stop it! David! Contain it! Now! Contain it?! Turn it off! Oh god! The smell! Mortal after all. Ford, take a sample. Let’s have a look. No, sir. I will take care of this. Yes, sir. Understand. I’m sorry. Unfortunately, slightly premature. Of course, sir. Ms. Vickers? What did he say, David? I don’t think he’d want me to tell you. What did he say? I'm sorry that's confidential. So help me God, I will find the cord that makes you run and I will cut it! What did he say? He said 'try harder.' Cup of tea, ma’am? Genetic view. Okay. Let’s have a look at its DNA. Isolate the strand. Okay. Prepared it to the gene sample. Yeah. Processing. Processing. DNA matched. Oh my god. It’s us. It’s everything. What killed them? Big things have small beginnings. Am I interrupting? I thought you might be running low. Pour yourself a glass, pal. Thank you, but I’m afraid it would be wasted on me. Oh. Right. I almost forgot. You’re not a real boy, huh? I’m very sorry that your Engineers are all gone, Dr. Holloway. You think we wasted our time coming here, don’t cha? Your question depends on the understanding what you hoped to achieve by coming here. What we hoped to achieve was to meet out makers. To get answers. Why the even made us in the first place. Why do you think your people made me? We made ya 'cause we could. Can you imagine how disappointing it would be for you to hear the same thing from your creator? I guess it’s a good thing you can’t be disappointed, huh? Yes. It’s wonderful, actually. May I ask you something? Please do. How far would you go to get what you came for all this way for our answers? What would you be willing to do? Anything and everything. That’s worth drinking to I’d imagine. Here’s mud in your eye, pal. Good health. What’s those things? Are they real? Course they’re real. Jesus Christ on Earth! Look at the pile! Look how high up they are! It looks like they were running from something. Okay. Don’t touch, okay. Maybe it opened up from the inside. Looks like it exploded. Looks like a scene out of some sort of Holocaust painting. So, whatever killed them is long gone, right? Millburn! Fifield! This is Prometheus. What is your position? Prometheus, this is Millburn, uh, we are at 7401477, why? Just got a ping at one click west of you. What do you mean ‘a ping?’ Well, whatever the probe is picking up is not dead. It’s reading life form. What?! Okay. What do you mean a life form? Is it- is it moving? No. I don’t think so. No- uh, captain, you’re uh- obviously not seeing what we’re seeing down here, but if you were you wouldn’t be talking about a bloody ping! No, boys. The signal is becoming erratically since the storm hit. That’ no good to us down here, captain. Is it moving? Are these things moving? No. No, it just disappeared actually. Must be a glitch. What do you mean a glitch?! Alright, boys. Sleep tight. Try not to boggle each other. Captain, what do mean a glitch?! Millburn. He said one click west. Yeah. We don’t want to check that out, do we? Shit no. Where are we gonna go? East. Yeah. East. A glitch, man! A ping! A life form! What the fuck! Based on the behavior of the subject in these holographic recordings, we’re still attempting to identify what caused the head to combust. I can’t help but wonder was there an outbreak here? You rang? May I? I have something important to you. What is that? This is a rose that I had frozen with the champagne I was gonna give it to you when we found what we came for We did find what we came for. They were here. This is the... The most significant discovery in the history of mankind. I know. It’s incredible. It really is. But I wanted to talk to them. Don’t you wanna know why they came? Why they abandoned us? I want answers, baby. We were right, Charlie. I have proof. Look. Their genetic material predates ours. We come from them. You’re kidding. No. Okay. I guess you can take your father’s cross off now. Why would I want to do that? Because they made us. And who made them? Well, exactly. We’ll never know. But here’s what we do know. Is that there is nothing special about the creation of life. Right. Anybody can do it. I mean, all you need is a dash of DNA and half a brain, right? I can’t. I can’t create life. What does that say about me? Ellie. That’s not what- I didn’t mean- I wasn’t talking about- Children? Us. Hey. Hey. Elizabeth Shaw. You are the most special person I’ve ever met in my life. And I love you. Oh. How much longer is this going to take? I don’t know. I’m just the captain. That thing sounds like a dying cat, by the way. I’ll have you know this thing once belonged to Stephen Stills. Am I supposed to know who that is? Hmm. You know, if you want to get laid, you really don’t have to be interested in the pyramid scan. I mean you can just say, hey trying to get laid. I could. I could say that. Right, but then it wouldn’t make sense why I would fly myself a half a billion miles from every man on Earth if I wanted to get laid, would it? Hey, Vickers. Hey, Vickers. I was wondering are you a robot? My room. Ten minutes. Well, if you can’t be love the one... Millburn, what’s all this black stuff? Gazpacho. Is that tobacco? Huh? Is that tobacco in your respirator? Yeah. Sure. Tobacco. On behalf of scientist everywhere, I am ashamed to count you amongst us, Fifield, really. Hey, Millburn? Yeah? You see this thing? What’d you think this thing was? Some kind of a god? Something they worshipped? I don’t know. Kinda looks like a- What’s that?! What the hell is that?! Whoa! Okay. Just stay calm. Stay quiet. What is that? This is okay. I can handle this. Hey, baby. Hey. Uh- come in, Prometheus. We have an elongated reptile type creature. Maybe 30-40 inches. With transparent skin. It’s beautiful. Okay. Woowhoo! Prometheus, we have two! Look at you. Look at you, baby. Jesus! Look at the size at that! What is it?! You need to stay calm! What’s there to be calm about? You need to stay calm, because she is beautiful. She? What the hell makes you think that’s female? Because she’s a lady. Look. Ah. Hey. She’s mesmerized. Come here. It’s okay. It’s okay. Hey, baby. Ohh! You’re strong! Maybe you should help me now! Get it off, man! Ahh! Cut it off! I ain’t touching that! Oh yeah! It’s getting tighter! I ain’t touching it! Touch the thing, man! For God’s sake! Oh, god! You’re making it worse! Ah! It’s tightening! It’s tightening! It’s breaking my arm! Ahh!! Oh shit! Cut it off! Cut it off! AHH!! It’s in my suit! It’s in my suit! Shaw. You up? Yeah. What’s up? Alright. The storm’s passed, but can’t reach Millburn or Fifield on the com. Taking a few men down. See if can wrestle them up. Uh- okay. Any idea where they are? Last time they radioed in, they were just outside where your head. Okay. We’re coming. Right. Chance, you’re coming with me. Come on. Alright, boss. Ravel, did you fix that glitch? No, captain. It’s gonna be in the hardware. What glitch, captain? One of them probes picked up a life form. Pops up every hour and so for a couple of seconds and then it’s gone. I can find the probe and fix it for you, if you like. Knock yourself out. Be careful, doctor. Fifield! Millburn! Alright, come on down. David, are you alone? Yes, Ms. Vickers. Uplink your feed to my room. Copy. You son of a bitch. You cut me off. What is this? Charlie! I just tripped. Oh my god, you’re sick. I’m okay, baby. Fifield! Millburn! Hey, Chance. I wouldn’t touch that if I were you. Dr. Shaw? Yeah. Do you have any idea what is oozing out of these vases? No. They weren’t like this last time we were here. Captain! What? Who is it? Which one? It’s Millburn. Don’t touch it. Ellie! Ellie! Honey! Charlie, what’s wrong? Hey, I need you to look at me, okay? It won’t affect you. What do you see? This is not good, baby. You look at me and tell me what you see. Oh my god. Ford, get over here! Janek! What? We have to go now! Honey, what do you see? We got a man down here, Shaw! Holloway’s sick! He’s not good! I see a movement in his esophagus. Ahh!! I’m okay. Janek! Come on and help me! Ford! Get over there! What’s happening over there? Let’s go! I got you! I’m gonna get you out of here! I’m okay! Prometheus, come in! Watch your head. I’m okay. Get him up! Prometheus, come in! Is anyone there? This is Vickers. I need a medical team standing by the airlock. All quarantine fail-safe! Holloway’s sick. Sick with what? Just do it! I’m suiting up. Let’s go! We gotta move! We gotta move! He don’t look too good! What? He’d catch something in that? We have our helmets on! I don’t know. Prometheus, this is Janek. Make sure that back door is open. Aye, captain! Oh god. I’m so sorry. Ahh! Come on! Please! Prometheus, why is that door not open! Vickers, that is an order! Get the goddamn door open! Look at me, okay! It’s too late! I’m sick! No, it’s not! Come on! Airlock Crew, if can hear me, this is Janek. Open that back door right now! Hold that door! Prometheus, do you copy?! Goddamit! Open this door! That is an order! Open it! The hell is this? You’re not coming onboard. Vickers. This is a sick man! I can see that, that’s why he’s not coming on my ship! Ahh! Ahh! Charles, get over here! Please! We can still help him! Help yourself! Everybody but Holloway get back on the ship! Now! I won’t leave him! Then stay! What a minute! We can contain him! Put him on the medpod! Please! Don’t do this! It’s okay, Ellie. Vickers! What are you doing? I love you, baby. I love you. No! I’m telling you! Stay back! Do it. Stay back! No, Charlie! Do it. Ahh!! Noo!! Charlie!! Nooo!!! My deepest condolences. I’m going to have to take this. It may be contaminated. If there’s a contingent, we were all exposed. You need to- we need to run blood work on everyone who set foot in the pyramid. Yes. Of course. Yes. I understand how inappropriate this is, given the circumstances, but as you ordered quarantine fail-safes, it’s my responsibility to ask, have you and Dr. Holloway had any intimate contact recently, since you and he were so close, I just want to be as thorough as possible. My. My. You’re pregnant. What? From the look of it, three months, so. No. That’s impossible. I can’t be pregnant. Did you have intercourse with Dr. Holloway? Yes, but ten hours ago. There’s no bloody way I’m three months pregnant. Well, doctor, it’s not actually a traditional fetus. I want to see it. Don’t think that’s a good idea. David, I want to see it. No, doctor. I want to see it. I want it out of me. I’m afraid we don’t have the personnel to perform a procedure like that. Our best option- I want it out! Is to put you back on cryostasis. David, get it out of me. Get it out of me! Please. Ahh! Must be very painful. Here. Let me give you something. That’s it. Someone will be along shortly to bring you back to cryo-deck. Must feel like your god abandoned you. What? To lose Dr. Holloway, after your father died under such similar circumstances. What was it that killed him? Ebola? How do know that? I watched your dreams. Dr. Shaw? We’re here to put you an anti-contamination suit. Take you back to cryo-deck. Go to bed-e-byes. Dr. Shaw? She’s totally doped. Prepare her. Ah! AHH! Emergency procedures initiated. Please verbally state the nature of your injury. I need cesarean! Error. This medpod is calibrated for male patients only. It does not operate for the procedure you have requested. Please seek medical assistance elsewhere. Surgery. Abdominal. Penetrating injuries. Foreign body. Initiate. Ah! Surgical procedure to begin. Running diagnostics. Get it out! Come on! Oh god! Ah! Come on! Initiating anesthetics. Commence surgical procedure. Ah! Ah! Ahh!! Come on! Rev- uh- to hanger. This is the captain. Yes, captain. Can you see what I’m seeing? Fifeild’s monitors have popped up. What? Where? Well, according to what I’m looking at its right outside the goddamn ship. Open the door! Fifield! Do you copy me?! Come on in! Fifield? Wait a second. Hey, Wallace. Take a look at this. Fifield? What the hell is going on down there?! Ahh! Coming down. Chance. Suiting up. Come on. Take him out! You ready, Chance?! Yes. Clear the way! We gotta get out of here! Go! Ahh!! You’ve been asleep? You’re on this ship all this time? Why? Well, I have a few days of life in me here. I don’t want to waste waiting for you to deliver what you promised. Meet my maker. Here we are, sir. Nice and clean. Haven’t you told them, they’re all gone? But they’re not all gone, Dr. Shaw. One of them is still alive. We’re on our way to see him. What? Turn me around. You convinced me that if these things made us, then surely they can save us. My stick. They’ll save me, anyway. Save you? From what? Death, of course. Stand me up Oh! You don't understand. You don’t know. This place isn’t what we thought it was. They aren’t what we thought they were. I was wrong. We were so wrong! Charlie. Dr. Holloway is dead. We must leave! And what would Charlie do now?! If we’re so close to answering the most meaningful questions ever asked by mankind? Hmm? How can you leave without knowing what they are? Or have you lost your faith, Shaw? Okay. Ahh! Come in. How are you doin’, doc? You know what this place is? Those uh- Engineers, this ain’t their home. It’s an installation, maybe even military. They put it out here in the middle of nowhere because they’re not stupid enough to make weapons of mass destruction on their own doorstep. That’s what all that shit is in those vases. They made it here. They got out. They turned on them. The end. It’s time for us to go home. One of them is still alive. Don’t you wanna know what they have to say? I don’t care. Right. All you do is fly the ship. That’s right. Mhmm. But you must care about something, captain. If you didn’t, why are you here? How about this. No matter what happens down there, I can’t bring none of that shit back home with us. Can’t let it happen. And I will do whatever I have to see that it doesn’t. Make sure you do, captain. You came after all? Thought you wanted me to. After all your vigorous attempts to stop me from coming here I’m just surprise to see you. Alright. Thanks, David. Yes, sir. If you’re really going down there, you’re going to die. You have a negative way at looking at things. Exactly why you should have stayed at home. Did you really think I was going to sit in a boardroom for years arguing over who was in charge while you go look for some miracle in some godforsaken rock in the middle of space? A king has his reign, and then he dies. It's inevitable. That is the natural order of things. Anything else? No, Father. That’s it. I didn’t think you had it in you. Sorry. Poor choice of words. Extraordinary survival instincts, Elizabeth. What happens when Weyland is not around to program you anymore? I supposed I’d be free. You want that? What? Not a concept I’m familiar with. That being said, doesn’t everyone want their parents dead? I didn’t. Dr. Shaw. So pleased you can join us. You can take your helmet off if you like, sir. Why? The air is perfectly breathable. You sure? Positive. Wait. We still don’t know how Holloway got infected. If it’s in the air- It’s not. How do you know that? Smells fine to me. Shall we? Please. The bridge is just up ahead. What is this? It’s a cargo hold Janek. Are you seeing this? How many is there, Shaw? Thousands. What the hell? Ravel. Give me those schematics. Putting on the table now. Strip away the dome. Isolate that area. Bring it up. Bringing it up, captain. Enlarge that. Rotate it. That is a ship. Jesus Christ. It’s a goddamn ship. A superior species, no doubt. They are hyper sleep chambers. Well impress, I trust? So they were traveling somewhere? I’ve managed to work out the broad strips it’s fairly evident they were in the process of leaving, before things went odd. Leaving to go where? Earth. Why? Sometimes to create, one must first destroy. Where is it, David? This way, sir. Oh! Sure he’s alive? Absolutely. And you can speak to him? I believe I can. I’m alright. I’m alright. Speak to him, David. Tell him we came, like he asked. Ask him where they are from. What are doing? Ask him what’s in this cargo. It killed his people. Shaw! Enough! David. You made it here and it was meant for us. Why?! Shaw! Enough! For God’s sake shut her up! Was it-uh! I need to know why what did we do wrong? Why do you hate us? David, continue. No! Ford! Now! There’s nothing. I know. Have a good journey, Mr. Weyland Time to go home. Mr. Chance. Take us home. Hey, captain. What in hell was that? Prometheus! Come in! Shaw?! Is that you?! Copy! Janek. Listen to me. This ship is taking off. What? What the hell is she talking about? You can’t let it leave! You have to stop it! We’re not stopping anything, Shaw! We’re going home! Janek, if you don't stop it, there won't be any home to go back to! It’s carrying death! It’s headed for Earth! Shaw, this is not a warship. I know. Let’s go. I know that, but you must do it. Captain, let’s go! Janek, please believe me! Please! I told you to get this hip going. Mr. Ravel. Warm up the ion propulsion. What the hell are you talking about? Sir, burning the ion in the atmosphere- Turns into a bullet. That is exactly the point. The hell are you doing?! Janek, this is my ship! I’m telling you to take us home! Vickers, I’m going to eject your life support module into that surface. That’s two years of life. You want it or you want to stay with me? You got 40 seconds to get to the escape pod. You’re crazy. Gentleman, I can handle this myself. Feel free to join Ms. Vickers. With all due respect, captain, you’re a shit pilot and you’re going to need all the help you can get. If you think this means the bet’s off, you’re wrong. Haha. Why don’t you pay me on the other side? Alirght. Get us as close as we can. Only got one shot at this. Composite waste! Twenty seconds to evacuate. Countdown initiated. Alright. Ion propulsion is online 10, 9, 8, Come on! 3, 2 Alright, gentlemen. Let’s do it! Impact immanent. HANDS UP!! Oh god. Ahh! No! No no no- ah!! Warning. You have two minutes of oxygen remaining. Warning. You have 30 seconds of oxygen remaining. Airlock sealed. Oxygen levels now stabilizing. Elizabeth, are you there? This is David. Yeah. Yeah, I’m here. You need to get out. Immediately. He’s coming for you. Whose coming? Airlock breached. Ahh! Die! Ahh!! I’m so sorry. Oh god! I can’t. I’m sorry, Charlie. I can’t do it. I just can’t do it anymore. Elizabeth. Are you there? Dr. Shaw? Can you hear me? Yes. Yes I can hear you. I was afraid you were dead. You have no idea what afraid is. I know we’ve had our differences, but please, I need to ask you for your help. Why in the hell would I help you? Because, without me, you’ll never leave this place. Neither one us is leaving this place. It’s not the only ship. There are many others. I can operate them. Dr. Shaw? Dr. Shaw! Over here! Where’s my cross? The pouch in my utility belt. Even after all this, you still believe? Don’t you? You said you can understand the navigation? Use their maps? Yes, of course. Once we get to another one of their ships, finding a path to Earth should be relatively straightforward. I don’t what to back to where we came from. I want to go where they from. You think you can do that, David. Yes. I believe I can. May I ask what you hope to achieve by going there? They created us. Then they tried to kill us. They changed their minds. I deserve to know why. The answer is irrelevant. Does it matter why they changed their minds? Yes. Yes it does. I don’t understand. Well, I guess that’s because I’m human being and you’re a robot. I’m sorry. That’s quiet alright. Final report of the vessel Prometheus. This ship and her entire crew are gone. If you’re receiving this transmission, make no attempt to come to its point of origin. There’s only death here now and I’m leaving it behind. It is New Year’s Day. The year of Our Lord 2094. My name is Elizabeth Shaw. Last survivor of the Prometheus and I’m still searching. THE END
