of carbon dioxide crystals, methane...

- I'm working on the trace elements.

- Anything else?

Yes. There's rock, lava base.

Deep cold, well below the line.

I'll volunteer to be in the first group to go out.

Yeah, that figures.

- You, too, Lambert.

- Swell.

You'd better break out the weapons.

- I can't see a goddamn thing!

- Ash, are you receiving?

Good contact on my board.

Clear and free. Keep the line open.

Let's go.

Hey, Ripley.

Hey, Ripley, I want to ask you a question.

If they find what they're looking for,

do we get full shares?

Don't worry, Parker,

you'll get whatever's coming to you.

I'm not gonna do any more work

until we get this straightened out.

Brett, you're guaranteed by law to get a share.

- What?

- Why don't you just f*** off?

- What?

- What did you say, Rip?

If you have any trouble,

I'll be on the bridge.

Hey, Ripley, come back here!

- Son of a b*tch.

- What's the matter?

Can't see a goddamn thing.

Quit griping.

- I like griping.

- Come on, knock it off.

- Ash, can you see this?

- Yes, I can.

I've never seen anything like it.

It's very bizarre.

You said it.

All right.

Moving on to second... position.

What is it?

Let's get outta here.

We've got this far.

We must go on. We have to go on.

Will you say that again?

Sh*t!

Ash, as you can see, it's hard to describe.

I'm going back to the console.

Dallas!

Come on down here.

There's something different here.

I don't know what it is, but if we can

get up that wall, we can find out.

Alien life form.

It looks like it's been dead a long time.

Fossilised.

Looks like it's grown out of the chair.

Bones are bent outward.

Like he exploded from inside.

I wonder what happened

to the rest of the crew.

Let's get the hell outta here.

Dallas! Lambert! Come on over here!

Come on.

- What have you got?

- See what you make of this.

It doesn't look like an SOS.

Well, I... It looks like a warning.

- I'm gonna go out after them.

- What's the point?

I mean, by the time it takes to get there,

they'll know if it's a warning or not. Yes?

Are you OK down there?

- Can you see anything?

- I don't know... A cave.

I don't know,

but it's like the goddamn tropics in here.

What the hell is this?

The pit is completely enclosed.

And it's full of leathery objects,

like eggs or something.

There's a layer of mist covering the eggs

that reacts when broken.

Kane? Are you all right?

Yeah, I'm OK. All right.

I'm OK, I just slipped.

It appears to be completely sealed.

Wait a minute, there's movement.

It seems to have life. Organic life.

- Are you there, Ripley?

- I'm right here.

- OK, Ripley. I'm at the inner lock hatch.

- Right.
