LET YOUR BODY BECOME THE DIRT.

YOUR BLOOD BECOME THE WATERS.

AND MAY YOUR SOUL BECOME
THEIR WAY BACK TO US.

I am a law only for my kind.

I am a law...

...only for my kind.

I am a law only for my kind.

I am no law for all.

Ladies and gentlemen...

T.E. Lawrence...

...eponymously of Arabia
but very much an Englishman...

...favored pinching a burning match
between his fingers to put it out.

When asked by his colleague,
William Potter, to reveal his trick...

...how is it he so effectively extinguished
the flame...

...without hurting himself whatsoever,
Lawrence just smiled and said:

"The trick, Potter,
is not minding it hurts."

The fire that danced at the end
of that match...

...was a gift from the Titan, Prometheus.

A gift that he stole from the gods...

...who were terrified of
what we might do with it...

...were it to fall into our hairy little paws.

When Prometheus was caught
and brought to justice for his theft...

...the gods, well, you might say...

...they overreacted a little.

The poor man was tied to a rock
as an eagle ripped through his belly...

...and ate his liver over and over,
day after day...

...ad infinitum.

All because he gave us fire...

...our first true piece of technology.

Fire.

Such a very long time ago.

Which begs the question:

What have we done with it?

100,000 BC: stone tools.

4000 BC: the wheel.

800 BC: sun dial.

Ninth century AD: gun powder.

Bit of a game changer, that one.

1441: the printing press,
only slightly less impactful.

Nineteenth century:
steam engine, railway...

...eureka, the light bulb.

Twentieth century:
the automobile, television...

...nuclear weapons, spacecraft, Internet.

Twenty-first century:

Biotech, nanotech,
fusion and fission and M-theory.

And that was just the first decade.

We are now three months into the year
of our Lord 2023.

At this moment in our civilization...

...we are on the verge of terraforming planets
undiscovered just a decade ago.

We have identified
the genetic chain of events...

...behind 98 percent of cancers.

A chain we have broken,
effectively curing them.

We can create cybernetic individuals...

...who, in just a few short years, will be
completely indistinguishable from us.

Which leads to an obvious conclusion:

We are the gods now.

I haven't been struck down,
I'll take that to mean I'm right.

We wield incredible power.

The power to transform...

...to destroy and to create again.

The question, of course, before us...

...is what the hell are we supposed to do
with this power?

Or more importantly, one should ask,
what are we allowed to do with this power?

The answer to that, my friends,
is nothing.

Rules, restrictions, laws,
ethical guidelines...

...all but forbidding us
from moving forwards.

Well, were the ethics
during the Arabian conflicts?

Why are rules preventing us
from feeding impoverished cultures?

How is there a law that states
if we build a man from wires and metal...

...a man who will never grow old...

...who will never feel the heat of a star
or the cold of the moon...

...how is the creation of such an
incredible individual considered unnatural?

The answers to all these questions
is simple.

These rules exist
because the people who created them...

...were afraid of what would happen
if they didn't.

Well, I am not afraid.

For those of you who know me...

...you will be aware by now
that my ambition is unlimited.

You know that I will settle
for nothing short of greatness...

...or I will die trying.

For those of you
who do not yet know me...

...allow me to introduce myself.

My name is Peter Weyland.

And if you'll indulge me...

...I'd like to change the world.

Get Charlie.

Dr. Holloway!

Charlie!

What?

Come quick!

What? Youre smiling.

-Did you date it?
-Thirty-five thousand...

...years. Maybe older.

You gotta be kidding me.

It's the same configuration.

I mean, it's gotta predate
the others by millennia.

I think they want us
to come and find them.

Yeah.

Hello, Mr. Weyland.

I'm Dr. Elizabeth Shaw.

If that name sounds familiar to you...

...it's because I've been calling
your office every day for the last month...

...trying to get a meeting.

I think your people
were hoping I'd give up.

I'm...
I'm not good at giving up.

What I am good at is my job.

I'm an archeologist.

I have doctorates in
paleontology, archeology...

...human mythology and mimetics.

All of which I received from Oxford.

I graduated first in my class
at the age of 17.

This is not who I am,
it's simply what I know.

I make the distinction, sir...

...because there's a difference in what
a scientist knows and what they believe.

That difference is proof.

Do you feel that
all the science in the world...

...will never give us the answers
we really want?

What happens when we die.

What our purpose is.

Where we came from.

Whether or not we're truly alone.

I believe there's a place where every
one of those questions could be answered.

I believe I know where that place is.

I need you to get me there.

Give me 10 minutes of your time.

Ten minutes to let me
show you what I found.

And if you put your faith
in me, Mr. Weyland...

...no one will ever feel alone again.

If you don't respond, sir...

...I completely understand...

...but I'll be sending
this transmission again tomorrow.

Thank you.

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?

Because 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 someplace beautiful.

How do you know it's beautiful?

That's what I choose to believe.

What do you believe, Ellie?

Good morning, David.

Transmitting message.

No response.

Whilst this articulation...

...is attested in
the Indo-European descendants...

...as a purely paralinguistic form...

...it is phonemic in the ancestral form
dating back...

...five millennia or more.

Let's attempt Schleicher's fable.

Repeat after me.

Perfect.

- Mr. Lawrence?
- Yes?

- Flimsy, sir.
- Thank you.

You do that once too often.
It's only flesh and blood!

Michael George Hartley,
you're a philosopher.

And you're barmy.

- It damn well hurts!
- Certainly, it hurts.

Well, what's the trick, then?

The trick, William Potter,
is not minding that it hurts.

The trick, William Potter...

...is not minding that it hurts.

- He is your friend?
- Take your hand away.

- You love him.
- No. I fear him.

Then why do you weep?

If I fear him, and love him...

Well, sir. Going home.

Home, sir.

The trick, William Potter...

...is not minding that it hurts.

Attention:

Destination threshold.

Attention:

Destination threshold.

Attention: Destination threshold.

Robe.

How long?

Two years, four months, 18 days...

...36 hours, 15 minutes.

Any casualties?

Casualties, ma'am?

Has anyone died?

No, ma'am. Everyone is fine.

Well, 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 all right.

- Perfectly normal.
- Ellie.

We're here, baby.

Drink plenty of water.
Drink plenty of fluids.

Hydration aids muscle mass.

All crew, consume shakes
with high caloric content.

What the hell is that?

It's Christmas. We need the holidays
to show time is still moving.

The last I checked,
time is always moving.

First trip into the deep, huh?

Mission briefing is about to start, captain.

- Might want to make your way down.
- Well, I haven't had my breakfast yet.

- Don't you want to know why we're here?
- No, ma'am.

I just fly the ship.

Thought that's why you people hired me.

'Tis the season to be jolly, boys.

Is this seat taken?

My fingers're still numb.

I've never been out this long before, so...

No one has been out that long before.

Hi, I'm Millburn, Biology. Nice to meet you.

Okay.

Look,

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.

I bet a hundred credits
it's a terraforming survey.

No, if it's a survey, they would tell us.

It's a corporate run,
they're not telling us shit.

Come on.

- A hundred.
- All right, you're on.

You look nervous, El.

Theyre gonna think we're crazy.

Yeah. They're not if you
keep it scientific.

- I'll try to keep my feet on the ground.
- I know 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.
It's my job to make sure you do yours.

Okay, then. On with the show.

Weyland Corporation.

Building better worlds.

Hello, friends.

My name is Peter Weyland.

I am your employer.

I am recording this, 22 June, 2091.
And if you're watching it...

...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.

And he is the closest thing to a son
I will ever have.

Unfortunately, he is 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 found two people who convinced
me they're on the verge of answering them.

Drs. Holloway and Shaw,
if you would please stand.

As far as you're concerned,
they're 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, wow.

All right.

I never had to follow a ghost before.

Okay, let me show you why you guys...

...are here.

These are images of archeological digs
from all over the Earth.

That's...

...Egyptian, Mayan, Sumerian, Babylonian.

That's Hawaiian there at the end,
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.
They were separated by centuries.

They shared no contact with one another,
and yet....

The same pictogram...

...showing men worshipping giant beings,
pointing to the stars...

...was discovered
at every last one of them.

And the only galactic system
that matched...

...was so far from Earth
that there's no way...

...that these primitive, ancient civilizations
could have possibly known about it.

But itjust so happens...

...that that system...

...has a sun...

...a lot like ours.

And, based on our long-range scans,
there seemed to be a planet.

Just one planet with a moon...

...capable of sustaining life.

And we arrived 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 who?

We call them Engineers.

Engineers?

Do you mind...

...telling us what they engineered?

They engineered us.

Bullshit.

Okay, so do you...

...have anything to back that up?

Look, if you're willing to discount...

...centuries of Darwinism, that's....

But how do you know?

I don't.

But it's what I choose to believe.

Doctors.

Miss 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 Miss Vickers would need
to survive a hostile environment.

Okay, so she lives on a lifeboat.

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 Pauling Med-Pod.

They only made a dozen of these.

Miss Shaw.

Please verbally state
the nature of your injury.

Please don't touch that.

It's a very expensive piece of machinery.

It does bypass surgery.
What do you need it for?

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 scribblings...

...of savages living in dirty little caves.

But let's say l'm wrong,
and you do find these beings down there...

...you won't engage them...

...you won't talk to them.

You will do nothing
but report back to me.

Miss Vickers, is there an agenda that...

...you're not telling us about?

My company...

...paid a trillion dollars to find this place
and bring you.

Had you raised the monies yourself,
Mr. Holloway...

...we'd happily be pursuing your agenda.

But you didn't.

And that makes you an employee.

But if we can't make contact...

...why did you even bring us here?

Weyland was a superstitious man.

He wanted a true believer onboard.

Cheers.

So no response?

I'm sorry, no.

Maybe they didn't understand it.

How are your lessons going, David?

I spent two years deconstructing
dozens of ancient languages...

...to their roots. I'm confident...

...I can communicate with them...

...provided your thesis is correct.

''Provided it's correct.'' That's good.

That's why they call it a thesis, doctor.

What are you smiling about?

Mr. Ravel, Mr. Chance, take her down.

-Roger that.
-Yes, captain.

Descent trajectory mapped.

How we doing?

Great.

Probes.

All right, boss.

All personnel...

...this is the captain.

Brace for entry.

Yes, captain.

That means you too, Vickers.

All systems...

...online.

What is the atmosphere?

Atmosphere is...

...71 percent nitrogen...

...21 percent oxygen...

...traces of argon gas.

Whoa, now, that's weather.

Just like home.

If you're breathing
through an exhaust pipe.

CO2 is over 3 percent.

Two minutes without a suit, you're dead.

Peak portside.

Whoa, 52,000!

It makes Everest
look like a baby brother.

All right, take us around.

We'll use that as our point of entry.

Terrain data rezzing up. We've got...

...a couple of hard spots.

Could be metal.

No radio, no heat 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.

Reduce airspeed by a hundred knots.

Going through. Nice and slow.

Keep it steady, boys.

There.

No, what are you doing?

Dr. Holloway, why don't you take a seat?

Right there. God does not build in...

...straight lines.
Starboard side, this valley! Captain...

...could you put us down there?

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.

Switch to manual.

-Commence landing.
-Easy.

-Roger that.
-Yeah, baby, yeah.

Bringing her down in five.

-Preparing RCS thrusters.
-Four.

Two. Easy does it.

The Prometheus has landed.

Generator systems are inactive.

Temperature is at 2.724 K.

Captain, would you...

...tell the survey team to suit up...

...and meet us in the airlock.

Only six hours left of daylight.

-Leave it till morning.
-No, no, no.

It's Christmas, captain...

...and I want to open my presents.

You, boy.

You're coming with us.

I'd be delighted.

Attention: Ramp will open in five minutes.

Hey, Jackson...

...what's that for?

Expedition security.

My job is to make sure
everybody is nice and safe.

This is a scientific expedition.
No weapons.

All right, then.

Good luck with that.

David, why are you wearing a suit, man?

I beg your pardon?

You don't breathe, remember?

So why wear a 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.

They're making you guys pretty close, huh?

Not too close, I hope.

Attention: Ramp will open in 15 seconds.

Ramp will open in five...

...four, three, two, one.

Hey.

This is just one small step for mankind.

Seriously?

You ready to do this? I know you are.

Hey, Fifield.

I want a spectrograph on this.

I want to know if it's natural
or if somebody put it there.

I can't tell you 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.

Okay, ready?

-Yeah.
-Let's do it.

-After you.
-After you.

Okay.

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'll find them.

''Pups''?

Yeah, pups. My pups.

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, Charlie.

Jesus.

The sunlight is heating the water.

Check out the humidity.

Yeah, and look at the CO2 levels.

Outside...

...it's completely toxic, and in here...

...there's nothing. It's breathable.

What are you doing?

-Don't be an idiot.
-Don't be a skeptic.

There's something
generating an atmosphere.

David?

-Dr. Holloway is correct.
-Cleaner than Earth...

...actually.

They were terraforming.

Please don't do--

I'm not wearing this thing anymore.

Wish me luck, baby.

Do you copy?
Do not remove your headgear.

This is the sweetest air I've ever tasted.

You crazy bastard.

Prometheus, connect our suit cameras...

...if you want to continue watching this
freak show. We are taking our helmets off.

Copy that. Switching feeds.

Well, come on. Pay up.

- Pay what?
- What do you mean, ''Pay what''?

Something is manufacturing
breathable air down there. That, mate...

- ...is terraforming.
- No, no. The bet was why we came here.

If you said a dead old man wanted
to talk to Martians...

- ...then I'd pay.
- Come on, a hundred credits.

Put it towards a lap dance with
Miss Vickers. How about that?

Oh, my God.
Oh, my God.

Guys?
Oh, oh. Oh, my God.

- Oh, my God.
- Baby? You're gonna wanna see this.

Look at this.
Look at this beautiful thing.

In all the systems we've ever catalogued,
we have never found anything...

...larger than bacteria.

But this, this is life.
We found life.

Come here, baby.
Come on. Come on, come on.

Our first alien.

I guess we're really lucky we brought you,
Millburn, Biology.

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 collagenous.

Some kind of sediment, perhaps.

Impressive.

What was that?

David?

David?

What is that?

David?

Ellie!

What was that?

I'm really glad we didn't bring weapons.

- Come on, El. Let's go.
- Whose idea was that?

Keep up!

Come on!

Where did he go?

Wait, wait, wait.

There it is. There it is. There it is.

Oh, my God, Charlie. We found them.

What do you mean ''them''?

It is them, Ellie.

It looks like a door...

...and he's been decapitated by it.

Son of a bitch.

They were right.

What did you want 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!

Now it's clear
you two don't give a shit about rocks.

But what you do seem to care about
is gigantic dead...

...bodies.

As I don't really have anything
to contribute in the gigantic...

...dead body arena...

...I want to go back to the ship,
if you don't mind.

Anyone wanna...

...join me, hey? You staying?

No, ship's good.

Yeah. Ship very good.

Congratulations on meeting your maker.

Thank you.

Pull yourself...

...together, man.

And 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?

l'm attempting to open the door.

Wait. We don't know
what's on the other side.

Oops. Sorry.

Look, Ford. lt's the head.

An amazing state of preservation.

-We'll take it in.
-Yeah.

Remarkably human.

Beautiful painting.

lt's a mural.

Stop.

Stop. Don't touch it.

Sorry.

Please, don't touch anything.

Sweating.

Organic.

Oh, no.

Charlie, the murals are changing.

I think we've affected the atmosphere
in the room.

Charlie, do you copy?

Oh, the head!

Ford, quick, help me bag the head!

- Boss.
- What you got?

We got an incoming storm front.

Silica...

...and lots of static. This is not good.

I see it.

Ground crew...

...this is Janek.

I need you to hustle back right now.

Ground crew, do you copy me?

I got 200-kilometer...

...winds of airborne silica...

...and enough static to fry your suit.

Copy that, sir.

We need more time.

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!

-On three.
-Two, three, up.

Let's go!

Easy, easy, easy. Careful.

David, we are leaving!

Come on!

Damn it, they've already taken off.

Come on, let's go.

Prometheus to ground crew.
You're running out of time.

All right, come on. Let's go.

Go faster!

Charlie! The head!

Ellie, no!

What are you doing?

Hatch closure...

- ...in five seconds.
- Shit.

Damn it, hold on!

Goddamn it.

Door closing.

Ellie, don't move!

Charlie!

Grab my hand!

No!

No, Ellie!

Ellie!

Got it.

So, what was that, Ellie?

You could've compromised the mission.
Not to mention...

...almost killing yourself!

Are you all right?

Yes.

Thank you, David.

My pleasure.

Doctors, it's real good to have...

...you back,
but where's Millburn and Fifield?

Aren't they back yet?

- Get them up for me.
- All right.

We've been here before, Fifield.

I don't know. 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?

The temperature is dropping rapidly,
so get your helmets on and stay warm...

...until the storm passes.

Captain...

...can you get a message to the scientist
and his zealot girlfriend?

You got a pen nearby?

No. No, I think we got it.

Tell them l said...themselves.

Copy?

Copy that.
All right, boys, keep your head down...

...and we'll come get you in the morning.

Well, which way now?

All right.

Well, which way, huh?

A woman in Africa told me the story
of how the world came to be.

She said...

...first there was the sun.

But it had no one to shine on.

So the sun made man.

And man looked up at the sun
and asked:

"Why did you make me?"

And the sun said,
"Because I was alone."

My whole life,
I've been looking for what we found today.

We're not alone anymore.

Cheers.

Cheers.

Well, do me a favor. Next time
you see a storm, run the other way.

I dropped my head.

Well, as much as I respect
your suicidal passion...

...why the hell did you go back for it?

Because it proves they were here.

And it's the only way
we can find out what killed them.

Who cares what killed them...

- ...right?
- What's wrong with you?

- What's wrong with me? Ellie...
- Yes.

...they're all dead.
So, so, so.

So that means that we all are alone.

Doctors, the specimen's prepped.

We're all ready for you.

Specimen. Mm-mm. No.

No, Ellie, I didn't come all this way
for an autopsy.

Remember, we were supposed to
talk to them.

So...

- Hey, What's that?
- What?

There. See?

- I don't know.
- What is that?

What are you doing?

- Oh, don't pick it up.
- Why?

It's, like, breaking apart.

Oh, my God.

What are you doing?

It looks like skin, actually.

Let's just leave it, Millburn. Come on.

Millburn, let's just go, yes?

Sample is sterile. No contagion 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 care if they're dead?

Weyland cared.

Dr. Shaw.

Have a look at this.

- That's not an exoskeleton.
- No.

I think it's a helmet.

-Let's see if we can lift it up.
-We should...

...be able to prize this open.

It's too heavy for us. David?

Careful.

Like so.

What is that on its head?

It 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.

- Thirty amps.
- Okay.

No more.

Let me make an incision.

Okay.

Go up, 40.

Okay, 40 up.

Did you see that?

- Yes.
- Yep. See?

Go up another 10.

Okay, up 10.

Maybe it's a little...

- ...too much. Go down 10.
- Okay.

- Down 10.
- Down another 20.

Okay, I'm trying.

I'm trying, it's not going down.

Full down. Ford...

...stop it.

Oh, God.

David, contain it! Now!

Contain it? Turn it off!

Oh, God. The smell!

Oh, God, look at that.

Look at that.

It's getting worse.

Mortal, after all.

Ford, take a sample.

Let's have a look.

No, sir, I will take care of it.

Yes, sir, understood. I'm sorry.

Fortunately, slightly premature.

Of course, sir.

Miss 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.

Compare it to the gene sample?

Yeah.

Overlay.

Processing.

Processing.

DNA match.

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.

Right, I almost forgot you're not a real boy.

I'm very sorry that your Engineers
are all gone.

You think we wasted our time
coming here, don't you?

Your question depends on me understanding
what you hoped to achieve by coming here.

What we hoped to achieve
was to meet our makers.

To get answers.

Why they even...

...made us in the first place.

Why do you think your people made me?

Because we could.

Can you imagine how disappointing
it would be...

...to hear the same thing
from your creator?

I guess it's...

...good you can't be disappointed.

Yes. It's wonderful...

...actually.

May I ask you something?

Please do.

How far would you go...

...to get what you came all this way for?

Your answers.

What are you willing to do?

Anything and everything.

That's worth drinking to, I'd imagine.

Here's mud in your eye, pal.

Good health.

It's those things.

Are they real?

Of course they're real.

Jesus Christ. I mean....

Look at the pile.

Look how high up they are.

It looks like...

-...they were running from something.
-Okay. Don't touch, okay?

Man, this thing is opened up
from the inside.

Almost like it exploded.

Looks like a scene out some sort
of holocaust painting, you know?

Well....

So, whatever killed them
is long gone, right?

Millburn, Fifield.

This is Prometheus.

What is your position?

Prometheus, this is Millburn.

We are at 7-4-0...

...1-4-7-7. Why?

Just got a ping
about one click west of you.

What do you mean ''a ping''?

Well, whatever...

...that probe is picking up...

...it's not dead.

It's reading a life form.

-What?
-Okay, what do you mean, ''a life form''?

Is it--? Is it moving?

No, I don't think so.

Captain, you're...

...obviously not seeing...

...what we're seeing here.

If you were,
you wouldn't be talking about a ping.

I know, boys.

Your signal has been coming in
sporadically since the storm hit.

That's no good to us down here!

Is it--? Is it moving?
Are these things moving?

No. No, it just disappeared, actually.

Must be a glitch.

What do you mean, ''a glitch''?

All right, boys.

Sleep tight.

Try not to bugger each other.

Captain, what do you mean, ''a glitch''?

Millburn, what does he mean? Wait.

Now, he said--

-He said one click west, yeah?
-Yeah.

Now, we....

We don't want to check that out, do we?

Shit, no.

Where are we gonna go?

East.

Yeah, east.

A fucking glitch, man.
''Pings, glitch, life form.'' What the fuck?

Based on the behavior of the subject
in these holographic recordings...

...we're attempting to identify
what caused the head...

...to combust. l can't help but wonder...

...was there an outbreak here?

- You're drunk.
- Hi.

Embarrassing, Charlie.

Wow.

You know, he seems pretty scared
for a ghost.

He's not a ghost.

Oh, yeah? What is?

It's a recording.

Some kind of video log.

We must've triggered it when we came in.

So let me ask you a question.

How come there's not a recording of
whatever was chasing it?

Look at him.

- He knew he was about to die.
- Hmm.

Maybe nothing was chasing him.

Maybe...

Maybe there was an outbreak.

Heh. What is that based on, Ellie?

- I've seen it before.
- Ha, ha.

This isn't Africa, Ellie.
It's outer space.

I saw his head explode.

- A couple of hours ago.
- Uh-huh.

I know infection when I see it.
Charlie, you know that.

There was something inside it.
Something on a cellular level.

- Maybe even genetic.
- Oh, who cares, honey?

It doesn't matter, okay?
It's not why we came here, Ellie.

And finding out what killed a bunch of
goddamn aliens 2000 years ago...

...it changes nothing.

What-- What do you want to change?

You, you-- You saw that face...

- ...underneath that helmet, Ellie.
- Yeah. Yeah.

They are not gods.

We're just some experiment.

And the Earth was a goddamn petri dish.

That's it.

You are never gonna prove that
with a bunch of 2000-year-old mummies.

Okay, okay, okay.
Okay, fine, so why are you here? Huh?

What did you travel light-years
to get here to ask for, huh?

What, for the meaning of life?

What, for forgiveness for your sins? Hmm?

Or maybe to ask God
why he traded you for your morn?

Or-- Or maybe, uh, hey...

...maybe to ask him
why he took your father.

Don't.

Elizabeth, I'm sorry. Stop it.

Stop it. I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

No.

How much longer will this take?

I don't know.

I'm just a captain.

That thing sounds like a dying cat,
by the way.

I'll have you know that this thing...

...once belonged to Stephen Stills.

Am I supposed to know who that is?

You know...

...if you wanna get laid...

...you really don't have to pretend...

...to be interested in the pyramid scan.

You could just say,
''Hey, I'm trying to get laid.''

I could. I could say that, right?

But it wouldn't make sense...

...why I would fly myself 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 with the one you love

Love the one

You're with

Love the one you're with

Millburn.

What's all this black stuff?

Gazpacho.

Is that tobacco?

Is that tobacco...

...in your respirator?

Yeah, sure.

Tobacco.

On behalf of scientists everywhere,
I am ashamed to count you amongst us...

...Fifield. Really.

- Hey, Millburn.
- Yeah?

You see this thing?

What do you think this thing was?
Some kind of a god?

Something they worshiped? What?

- It kind of looks like--
- What's that?

What the hell is that?

Oh, my God. Okay.

Just stay calm. Stay quiet.

This is okay, I can handle this.

Hey, baby.

Hey.

Come in, Prometheus.

We have an elongate reptile-type creature.

Maybe 30, 40 inches, with transparent skin.

And it's beautiful.

Okay!

Prometheus...

...we have two.

Look at you. Look at you, baby.

Jesus, look at the size of 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.

What makes you think that's female?

She's a lady. Look!

Hey.

She's mesmerized.

Come here. Come here.

It's okay.

It's okay. It's okay.

Hey, baby.

You're strong!

You should...

...help me now.

Get it off.

Cut it here, man!

I ain't touching that!

Oh, my God. Oh, my God.

- It's getting tighter.
- I ain't touching it!

Cut the thing, man, for God's sake!

God, you're making it worse!

It's tightening! It's tight--

It's breaking my arm!

Shit!

Cut it off!

Cut it off!

Cut it off!

Cut it off!

Shit!

Oh, my God!

Oh, my God! Oh, Jesus!

It's in my suit.

Jesus Christ.

Shaw, you up?

Yeah, what's up?

The storm passed,
but I can't reach Millburn...

...or Fifield. Taking a few men down,
see if I can rustle them up.

Okay.

Any idea where they are?

Last time they radioed in
was where you found your head.

Okay, we're coming.

All right.

Chance, you're coming with me. Come on.

All right, boss.

- Hey, baby.
- Ellie.

- Are you okay?
- Yeah. Yeah, I think I'm...

...just hungover.

- You sure? You're warm.
- I'm fine...

- Ravel, did you fix that glitch?
- No, captain.

- It's gotta be in the hardware.
- What glitch, captain?

One of them probes picked up a life form.

Pops up every hour...

...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, doctors.

Fifield!

Millburn?

All right, come on down.

David, are you alone?

Yes, Miss Vickers.

Uplink your feed to my room.

Copy.

You son of a bitch.

You son of a bitch.

What is this?

- Charlie?
- I just tripped.

Oh, my God, you're sick!

I'm okay, baby. Come on.

Fifield?

Millburn?

Hey, Chance. I wouldn't touch...

...that if I were you.

Dr. Shaw?

Yeah?

Do we 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?

- Who is it?
- It's Millburn.

- Ellie.
- Don't touch him. Hold on.

Ellie, honey.

Charlie, what's wrong?

I need you to look at me, okay?

You know infections...

...so, what do you see?

This is not good, baby.

You look at me,
you tell me what you see.

Oh, my God.

Ford, get over here.

It's okay. Janek?

- What?
- We have to go now!

- We have a man down here, Dr. Shaw.
- What do you see?

- We have a man down here, Dr. Shaw.
- Honey, what do you see?

Holloway's sick. He's not good.

I see movement...

...in his esophagus.

- Come on, baby.
- No. I'm okay.

Janek!

Come over and help me!

-I'm okay.
-Ford, get over there. What's happening?

-I'm okay.
-Let's go!

Help me with him.

I got you.
We're gonna get you out of here.

Prometheus...

...come in.

- Watch your head.
- Okay. I'm okay.

- Holloway.
- Get him up.

- Come on.
- Prometheus, come in.

Is anyone there?

This is Vickers.

I need a medical team
standing by the airlock.

Full quarantine fail-safe.

Holloway's sick.

Sick with what?

- Just do it.
- Let's get him back to the ship.

- It's not safe down here.
- Charlie?

I'm suiting up.

- Charlie, talk to me.
- Move!

- What was that back there?
- Let's go, people!

We've gotta move!
We've gotta move!

Ellie!

He don't look too good.

Did he catch something down there?
We had our helmets off.

I don't know.

Prometheus, this is Janek.
Make sure that back door is open.

Aye, captain.

Oh, God. I'm so sorry.

Come on!

Please!

I can't see you but I know
you can hear me, you tin can. Report.

Yes, Ms. Vickers.

Better get your ass back here right now.
These idiots are about to infect my ship.

Of course. Right away.

I do apologize.

Technical difficulties.

Have you located your objective, David?

I believe I have.

It's time.

I can't see you but I know
you can hear me, you tin can. Report.

Yes, Ms. Vickers.

Better get your ass back here right now.
These idiots are about to infect my ship.

Of course. Right away.

I do apologize.

Technical difficulties.

Have you located your objective, David?

I believe I have.

It's time.

Prometheus! Why is that door not open?

Vickers, that is an order!

Get that goddamn door open!

- Look at me. It's too late, I'm sick.
- No, it's not.

Come on!

Ford, help me!

Airlock crew, if you can hear me,
it's Janek.

Open that back door right now!

Hold that door!

Prometheus...

...do you copy?

Goddamn it, open that door!
That is an order!

Open it.

What the hell is this?

He's not coming onboard.

Vickers, this is a sick man.

I see that. That's why...

...he's not coming on!

Charlie!

Chance, get over here!

Please!

We can still help him!

Help yourself.
Everybody but Holloway back on this ship!

I won't leave him!

Then stay!

Wait! We could...

...put him on the Med-Pod!

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! No, Charlie!

-Do it.
-No!

No!

No!

No!

Charlie!

No!

My deepest condolences.

I'm going to have to take this.

It may be contaminated.

If there's a contagion,
we were all exposed.

You need-- 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 want to be...

...as thorough as poss--

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 10 hours ago.

There's no bloody way
I'm three months pregnant.

Well, doctor...

...it's not exactly a traditional fetus.

I want to see it.

Don't think that's a good idea.

David, I want to see it.

Now, doctor....

I want to see it.

I want it out of me.

We don't have the personnel...

...to perform a procedure like that.

- Our best option--
- I want it out.

Put you back into...

...cryostasis until we return to Earth.

Please, get it out of me.

Get it out of me!

Please.

It must be very painful.

Here, let me give you something.

That's it. There, there.

Someone will be along shortly...

...to bring you back to Cryo Deck.

It 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 you--? How do you know that?

I watched your dreams.

Are you here to file a report?

No.

I'm not.

I'm really not in the mood for coffee.

It's a good thing it's rum then.

There you go.

Please don't touch that.

You know before I sold my soul
to corporate I was in the military?

Yeah.

Before I did that, though, I was, uh...

...flying sorties out of Jordan.

And, uh, this one base I was on
had this building.

No windows, pure steel.

Surrounded by a barbed wire fence.

I'd see small men in white coats
running in and out of it.

We knew they were making something
in there and we knew it was bad.

Anyway, one night the alarm goes and...

...we get ordered to do a full evac.
Everybody out.

And I'm running towards my transport...

...and I see these men in white coats
trying to get out that building.

Screaming.

Crying for their lives.

It turns out that fence weren't to keep us out.

It was to keep them in.

Anyway, we get in the air
and I see my CO flip open a box...

...that he had on his lap.

Had a gray button on it.

And he closes his eyes and he starts to pray.

And then, 6 kilometers out...

...he decides to push that button.

And even that far out we felt
the heat of that explosion...

...as 1100 souls, give or take, vaporized.

Just because some idiot spilt something.

Now, I know it was a long time ago.

But I feel the same thing happened here.

Those things.

Those Engineers, they made
something they shouldn't have.

And they spilled it.

It was your turn to push the button.

Why did you decide
to tell me that story now?

Because you killed a man today.

Looks like you're in pain.

I burned my hand.

What the hell was that, Chance?

Boss, we're getting seismic activity.

From where?

Below ground.
About one click east.

Yeah, he's, uh, right. We're getting
heat signature. Same place.

Hey. Do you want to tell me
what the hell is going on?

Not particularly.

Is he awake?

Almost.

Is who awake?

That's not really your concern, captain.

Now, if you could please make sure
the rovers are ready to roll within the hour...

...we'd appreciate it.

Hey. Hey.

Hey!

Dr. Shaw?

We're here to put you...

...in an anti-contamination suit,
take you back to Cryo Deck...

...go to beddy-byes.

Dr. Shaw?

She's doped. Prepare her.

Emergency procedures initiated.
Please verbally state the nature of your injury.

I need a Caesarean.

Error. This Med-Pod is calibrated for male...

...patients and does not offer...

...the procedure you have requested.
Seek medical assistance...

...elsewhere.

Surgery.

Abdominal.

Penetrating...

...injuries.

Foreign body.

Initiate.

Surgical procedure to begin.

Running diagnostics.

Oh, come on.

Get it out! Come on!

Please!

Oh, God!

-Come on!
-Initiating anesthetics.

Please!

Commence surgical procedure.

Oh, God.

Oh, God!

Oh, God!

Oh, God! Oh, God!

Oh, my God!

Come on!

Bridge...

...to hangar. This is the captain.

-Yes, captain.
-Can you see what Im seeing?

Fifield's monitor just popped up.

What? Where?

According to what I'm looking at,
it's outside...

...the goddamn ship.

Barnes, 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?

I'm coming down there.

Chance, you're suiting up.

-Come on.
-Don't let it on the ship!

Take him out!

Got him!

Do it!

-You ready, Chance?
-Yes.

Come on!

Get in the rover!

We gotta get out of here!

Go!

What is that?

You've been asleep.

You were on the ship all this time. Why?

Well, I....

I have a few days of life left in me.

I didn't wanna waste them...

...until you could deliver
what you promised.

To meet my maker.

There we are, sir.

- Nice and clean.
- Haven't you told him 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 now.

What?

Turn me around.

You convinced me that...

...if these things made us...

...then surely they could save us.

My stick, please.

Well, save me, anyway.

Save you from what?

Death, of course.

Stand me up.

I'm all right.

I'm all right.

Yes, sir.

But 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's dead.

We must leave!

And what would Charlie do...

...now that we're so close...

...to answering
the most meaningful questions...

...ever asked by mankind?

How can you leave without...

...knowing what they are?

Or have you lost your faith, Shaw?

Okay. Okay.

Come in.

Where the hell are you going, doc?

You know what this place is?

Those Engineers? This ain't their home.

It's an installation.
Maybe even military.

They put it out here
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.

It got out, it turned on them. The end.

It's time for us to go home.

One of them is still alive.

I came here for answers.

I'd rather die with those answers,
than leave without them.

Don't you want to know
what they have to say?

I don't care.

Right.

All you do is fly the ship.

That's right.

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.

I'll do whatever I have to...

...to see that it doesn't.

Make sure you do, captain.

So you came after all.

I thought you wanted me to come.

I did.

After all your vigorous attempts to stop me
from coming here, I'm surprised to see you.

If my memory serves...

...last time we spoke you said I was
nothing but a stupid old fool...

...chasing fairytales.

I shouldn't have said that.

It's all right, David, leave us alone.

Yes, sir.

I'll be outside if you need me.

I am sorry.

Well, consider yourself forgiven.

What do you want?

I want to say goodbye.

I'm sorry?

If you're really going down there,
you're going to die.

Very negative way of looking at things.

Maybe you should look at the thing squealing
next door and tell me how positive...

...you feel.

You know, Meri, I've always despised
that sarcastic attitude of yours.

Exactly why you should have
stayed at home.

Did you really think I was gonna
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?

Did you?

A king has his reign, and then he dies.

It's inevitable.

That

...is the natural order of things.

My God.

Look at you.

You used to have so much grace.

I respected you.

Look up to you.

You're nothing but a scared old man.

And I'm tired of waiting
for that last pitiful breath...

...to leave your godforsaken mouth.

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?

I suppose I'll be free.

You want that?

''Want''?

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 could join us.

You can take your helmet off
if you like, sir.

What?

The air is perfectly breathable.

Are 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 it 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.

Their hypersleep chambers...

...will impress, I trust.

So they...

-...were traveling somewhere.
-I've managed to work out the broad strokes.

It's fairly evident
they were in the process of leaving...

...before things went to pot.

Leaving to go where?

Earth.

Why?

Sometimes to create...

...one must first destroy.

Where is he, David?

This way, sir.

Are you sure he's alive?

Absolutely.

And you can speak to him?

I believe I can.

Speak to him, David.

Tell him we came, just like he asked.

>

>

I'm all right, I'm all right.

WHAT DO YOU WANT?

WHY DID YOU COME HERE?

What did he say?

He asked to know why you're here.

Ask where they're from.

What are you doing?

Ask him what's in his cargo.

It killed his people.

Shaw, that's enough.

- David.
- You made it here...

...and it was meant for us. Why?

- Shaw, enough. For God's sake,
shut her up. - Was it...?

I need to know why!
What did we do wrong?

Why do you hate us?

If she opens her mouth again,
shoot her.

David, continue. Tell him why I came.

>

>

WHY DOES HE WANT MORE LIFE?

WHAT MAKES THIS MAN SO GREAT...

...AS TO ASK SUCH A THING?

What did he say? What did he say?

I told him you wanted to live forever.

He asked why.

Do you--?

Do you see this man?

My company built him from nothing.

I made him.

And I made him in my own image,
so that he...

He would be perfect.

So that he would never fail.

I deserve this.

Because you...

You and I, we are superior.

We are creators.

We are gods.

And gods never die.

No! No!

No!

Mr. Weyland!

No!

Sorry.

Ford! Move!

All right, you!

CAN NOT HURT ME!

There is... nothing.

I know.

Have a good journey, Mr. Weyland.

Time to go home.

Mr. Chance, take us home.

Oh, no!

Hey, cap.

What the hell was that?

Prometheus!

Come in!

Shaw, is that you?

Copy.

Janek...

...listen to me.

This ship is taking off!

- What?
- What 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, and 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 ship going.

Mr. Ravel.

Warm up the ion propulsion.

- What are you talking about?
- Sir.

Burning ion in the atmosphere--

- Turns us into a bullet. That's the point.
- What are you doing?

This is my ship. I'm telling you...

...to take us home!

Vickers, I'll eject your module onto...

...that surface. 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.

Gentlemen...

...I can handle this myself.

Feel free to join Miss Vickers.

All due respect, captain.

You're a shit pilot and you're gonna
need all the help you can get.

Well, if you can't be with the one you love

If you think this means the bet's off...

...you're wrong.

Why don't you pay me on the other side?

All right, get us as close as we can.

Only got one shot at this.

Lifeboat's away!

Twenty seconds...

...to evacuate.

- Countdown initiated.
- Ion propulsion...

...is online.

Ten.

Nine.

Come on!

Eight.

- Three.
- Let's do this.

Two.

Impact imminent.

Hands off!

Oh, God.

No. No.

No! No! No!

Oh, God.

Warning: You have two minutes
of oxygen remaining.

Warning: You have 30 seconds of
oxygen remaining.

Airlock sealed.

Oxygen levels now stabilizing.

Testing radio transmission.

Elizabeth, are you there?

This is David.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, I'm here.

You need to get out immediately.

- He's coming for you.
- Who?

Who's coming?

Airlock breach.

Elizabeth, can you hear me?
- Shh!

I'm so sorry.

Oh, God.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry, Charlie, I can't do it.

I 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 the hell would I help you?

Because, without me,
you'll never leave this place.

Neither one of us is leaving this place.

It's not the only ship.

There are many others.

I can operate them.

Before that thing ripped your head off,
what did he say, David?

"Thing," Dr. Shaw?

Not too long ago,
you considered them gods.

God never tried to kill me.

So...

...what did he say?

Where did he come from?

There is no direct translation, but...

Several of your ancient cultures
had a word similar to it.

Paradise.

Elizabeth.

Dr. Shaw?

Dr. Shaw!

Over here.

Where is my cross?

The pouch in my utility belt.

The other pouch.

Even after all this...

...you still believe, don't you?

You said you could
figure out their navigation...

...use their maps.

Yes, of course.

Once we get
to one of their other ships...

...finding a path to Earth
should be relatively straightforward.

I don't want to go back
to where we came from.

I want to go where they came from.

I want to go to paradise.

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 a human being...

...and you're a robot.

I'm sorry.

It's quite all right.

Final report of the vessel Prometheus.

The ship and her...

...entire crew are gone.

If you're receiving this transmission...

...make no attempt
to come to its point of origin.

There is 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...

...the last survivor of the Prometheus.

And I am still searching.
