And the same time yesterday...

- Nothing.

- How was it done?

- Thermal equipment of some kind.

- Like yours?

More advanced. Incredibly powerful.

I've never seen anything like it.

There's no team and no machine in the world

that could cut to this depth in 24 hours.

Well, the only way we're gonna know for sure

is to get down there and find out.

Look at that. Change it. Now!

OK, guys, what's taking so long?

There's a storm coming.

There's no room for sick men

on this expedition.

- My doctors tell me the worst is behind me.

- You're not a very good liar, Mr. Weyland.

Stay on the ship.

We'll update you at the top of every hour.

When you get sick, you think about your life

and how you're gonna be remembered.

You know what will happen when I go?

Ten per cent fall in share prices.

Maybe 12. That's it.

I've heard this speech before.

My dad broke his leg

He was like you.

He wouldn't go back or let us stop.

We reached the top,

and he opened a bottle of champagne.

I had my first drink with my dad at 14,400ft.

On the way down, he developed a blood clot

in his leg that traveled to his lung.

He suffered for four hours

before dying 20 minutes from the base.

You think that's the last thing

your dad remembers? The pain?

Or drinking champagne

with his daughter 14,000ft in the air?

I need this.

Come on, move.

Sh*t.

Mr. Weyland!

Man down!

Get him! Somebody get him!

Move it!

Now!

I don't understand it.

No equipment. No sign of another team.

Well, that tunnel didn't dig itself.

Move it. Connors, get those lights up.

We have power.

Congratulations, Mr. Weyland.

Looks like you'll be

leaving your mark after all.

Thank you. Thank you.

Thank you all for this.

Let's make history.

Thomas.

What is it?

- I recognize the Egyptian...

- The second symbol is Aztec.

Pre-conquest era. The third is Cambodian.

Then you were right.

The pyramid contains all three cultures.

- That's what it looks like.

- "You may choose to enter."

"Those who choose may enter."

Who taught you to translate?

Funny. Kinda looked like you.

Well, it's not "choose".

It's "chosen".

"Only the chosen ones may enter."

Quinn, is that you out there?

Mikkel.

What is all this?

This is the sacrificial chamber.

Like the Aztecs and the Egyptians.

Whoever built this pyramid

believed in ritual sacrifice.

This is where the chosen ones

were offered to the gods.

Those that were chosen would lie here.

They weren't bound or tied in any way.

They went to die willingly.

Men and women.

It was considered an honor.

Lucky them.

"They gave their lives

so the hunt could begin."

What happened here?
