Prometheus Page #5

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 round.

You convinced me...

If these things made us...

Then surely they could save us.

My stick.

Save me, anyway.

- Save you? From what?

Death of course, stand me up.

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?

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?

Ok...

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 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

sh*t 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.

Don't you want to know

what they have to say?

I don't care.

Right, all you do is fly this ship.

That's right.

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 sh*t back

home with us, can't let it happen.

And I'll do whatever I have

to, 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 surprised to see you.

Alright David, leave us alone.

- Yes sir.

If you're really going down

there, you're going to die.

Very negative way of looking at things.

Exactly why you should

have stayed at home.

Did you really think I was gonna

sit in a board room for years,

arguing over who is in charge while

you go look for some miracle on some

godforsaken rock in the middle of space?

A king has his reign and then he dies.

It's inevitable.

That is a 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 any more?

I suppose I'll 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, I'm pleased you could join us.

You can take your helmet

off if you'd 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 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 hyper-sleep chambers,

would impress I trust.

So they were traveling somewhere?

I have managed to work

out the broad strokes.

It's fairly evident they were

in the process of leaving.

Before things went apart.

Leaving to go where?

Earth.

- Why?

Sometimes to create,

one must first destroy.

Where is he, David?

- This way sir.

Sure he's alive?

Absolutely.

And you can speak to him?

- I believe I can.

I'm alright!

Speak to him David.

Tell him we're here, just like he asked.

- Ask him where they're from.

What are you doing?

- Ask him what's in his 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.

I need to know why,

what did we do wrong?!

Why do you hate us?!

David continue, tell him why I came.

No!

There's nothing...

I know.

Have a good journey, Mr. Weyland.

Time to go home.

Mr. Chance, take us home.

Hey captain...

- What in the 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, I know that.

But you must do it.

- Captain, let's go!

Janek please believe me, please.

I told you to get the ship going.

Mr. Ravel, warm up the ion propulsion.

- What the hell are you talking about?

Sir, burning the ion in

the inner atmosphere...

Turns us into a bullet,

that is exactly the point.

What 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 onto that surface,

that's 2 years of life.

You want it or do you want to stay with me?

You have 40 seconds to

get to the escape pod.

You're crazy.

- Gentlemen, I can handle this myself.

Feel free to join miss Vickers.

With all due respect

captain, you're a sh*t 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.

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

Get us as close as we can,

only got one shot at this.

Life boat's away.

20 seconds to evacuate.

Countdown initiated.

- Ion propulsion is online.

Come on!

Alright gentlemen, let's do it!

Impact imminent!

- Hands on!

No!

Oh God...

Warning, you have 2 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, I'm here.

You need to get out, immediately.

He's coming for you.

- Who's coming?

Airlock breach!

Die!

I am so sorry...

Oh God...

I am so 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 in hell would I help you?

Because without me, you

will 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.

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 could

understand the navigation.

Use their maps.

Yes of course.

Once we get to one of their other ships,

finding a path to Earth should
