Prometheus Page #6

Synopsis: This film is set in 2093 and takes place in the same universe as the 'Alien' movies. A group of explorers, including some archaeologists, are on an "undisclosed" mission. They arrive at a moon trillions of miles away from Earth. The team spot what they believe to be signs of civilization. They go to investigate and find more than just signs, they find conclusive evidence. But some of them have an ulterior motive for being there, including the Weyland Corporation. They believe that this is where the human race actually came from. Things soon turn from excitement to survival once inside their discovery.

Cup of tea, ma'am?

Genetic view. - OK.

- Let's have a look at its DNA.

Isolate the strand.

Compare it to the gene sample.

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? 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, Dr. Holloway.

You think we wasted our

time coming here, don't you?

Your question depends on the understanding

what you hope 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?

We made you cos we could.

Can you imagine how

disappointing would be for you,

to hear the same thing

from your creator?

I guess it's a good thing

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 would you be wiling 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, look at the pile,

look how up they are.

Looks like they were

running from something.

Don't touch, OK?

This thing is, opened

up from the inside,

almost like its exploded.

It's like a scene out of some

sort of holocaust painting.

Whatever killed them

is long gone, right?

Where is your position?

- Prometheus, this is Millburn.

We are at 7401477, why?

- I just got a ping.

About one click west of you.

- What do you mean, a ping?

Whatever that probe is

picking up, it's not dead.

It's reading life form.

What do you mean a "life form"?

- Is it moving?

No, I don't think so.

Captain, you're obviously not

seeing what we're seeing down here,

but if you were, you wouldn't

be talking about bloody ping.

Boys, the signal's been coming

in sporadicly since the storm hit.

That's not good to us down here captain!

Is it moving? Are these things moving?

No, it just disappeared actually.

Must be a glitch.

- What do you mean, "a glitch"?

Alright boys, sleep tight.

Try not to bother each other.

- Captain, what do you mean "a glitch"?

Millburn wait!

He said, one click west?

We don't want to go check

that out, do we? - Sh*t no.

Where are we going to go?

- East.

Yeah east. - Glitch man,

glitched life form, what the f***?!

Based on the behavior of the subject

in these holographic recordings,
