Jon Spaihts: Prometheus

HOLLOWAY touches DAVID’S face. DAVID looks up at him with a child like expression.

HOLLOWAY

You feel so…

DAVID

Human?

HOLLOWAY

So what’s happened since I’ve been out?

INT. SHAW’S VISION

We zoom through the deep dark tunnel of the Derelict.

We are now seeing a view of the Planet Earth.

We are now travelling through the Derelict tunnel.

We are now inside the Derelict power room.

We are now looking at the planet Earth.

We are now looking at a strange egg.

We are now looking at the planet Earth and can see the ‘U’ shaped alien craft approaching it.

We are now looking up at the Alien HEAD monument and it turns and looks down at us. It’s eyes glow and it’s mouth moves and it’s deep loud voice speaks.

VOICE

Elizabeth!

INT. SICKBAY. NIGHT

SHAW wakes up. She is sweating and gasping. She forces her bloody body out of the table and begins limping toward the door.

INT. LAB. NIGHT

SHAW walks into the laboratory and the trio look up at her.

SHAW

We were wrong, we were so wrong!

She collapses to her knees and falls flat on the ground.

EXT. PROMETHEUS. NIGHT

The ship sits still in the midst of the violent howling winds.

INT. VICKERS ROOM. NIGHT

VICKERS sits at her desk staring into a monitor as it reads: AWAITING ORDERS.

Only several seconds pass when a new sentence appears on screen which reads: Message received.

VICKERS clicks on it and it reads:

ACTIVATE SPECIAL ORDER 937

VICKERS glare is interrupted by FIFIELD entering.

VICKERS quickly turns off the monitor.

VICKERS

What is it?

FIFIELD

Ma’am it’s Shaw

VICKERS

What about her?

FIFIELD

I don’t know. David asked to me to get you

VICKERS

I’ll be right there

INT. SICKBAY. NIGHT

SHAW is lying in on a table. She is awake and more stable. Everyone is standing around her.

MUDOW

Can you hear me?

SHAW

Yes

MUDOW

How many finger am I holding up?

SHAW

Three

MUDOW

Good

Everyone is inside the room staring at her.

JANEK

What happened out there?

SHAW

Milburn!

She begins sobbing.

JANEK

Shaw tell us what happened

SHAW

I can’t remember. All I remember is waking up on some horrible room and I was naked

VICKERS

Go on?

SHAW

I found my clothes and put them on. Then it came for me

MUDOW

What came for you?

SHAW

I don’t know who he is

JANEK

He?

SHAW

He spoke to me… In my head and told me everything. He… Showed me a way out of the ship

VICKERS

The ship? What ship?

SHAW

It asked me questions about it. He told me to tell my people to leave here and never come back but it told me… Before we leave give it back anything we stole and it will give us back Milburn and the right to live

Everyone stands around staring at each other.

DAVID

We better do as it says. I’ll gather the stuff we brought back and take it to the structure myself

VICKERS

Are you kidding me? No offence to Miss Shaw here, I’m sure she went through something bad but she’s under the influence of drugs. And the things we brought back are worth a lot to the company

FIFIELD

Screw the company. Milburn’s still out there!

VICKERS

I understand but you’re not looking at the bigger picture

JANEK

David are you volunteering to do this?

DAVID

Yes sir

JANEK

Permission granted

VICKERS

I gave no such order

JANEK

Well Miss Vickers I don’t give a fuck! David how long can you leave?

INT. CARGO BAY CORRIDOR. NIGHT

DAVID walks over to one of the many Sarcophagus type capsules on the wall.

EXT. PROMETHEUS. NIGHT

The CARGO BAY lowers from the belly of the ship.

EXT. DERELICT. NIGHT

DAVID stops the Rover just at the Belly of the craft and climbs out. He approaches the craft with his large bag.

INT. DERELICT TUNNEL. NIGHT

He arrives at the dead end takes a right turn.

INT. RIGHT TUNNEL. NIGHT

DAVID arrives at another dead end. To his left is a doorway leading into the derelicts ‘Sickbay’ room.

DAVID turns to his right and enters the other doorway.

INT. DERELICT TUNNEL 2. NIGHT

This tunnel leads up a steep path. DAVID walks up it and comes to another dead end with two doorways at each side. DAVID turns left and looks inside the left doorway.

INT. CHAMBER. NIGHT

DAVID stands at the doorway and looks inside. This room is massive and hundreds of ten foot tall Oval shaped organic cages can be seen on the ground, walls and ceiling.

INT. DERELICT CORRIDOR 2. NIGHT

DAVID approaches the second doorway and looks in.

INT. ORRERY. NIGHT

DAVID is standing at the entrance staring inside this large vast dome shaped room. There are a series of holes at each side of the room. In the centre of this room is a large circular platform with four Sarcophagus type mechanical coffins on it. A large mechanical control panel is also present. DAVID approaches and steps onto the platform. He approaches the mechanical device and touches it. The device lights up and he touches a button. Behind DAVID a Hologram of ZEUS appears at the centre of the platform rising from a small glowing bulb on the floor. DAVID approaches it and studies it. It has a small symbol above it of a ‘U’ shape. DAVID touches the hologram and it suddenly shifts and a series of blue lights appear all over the ORRERY showing a large holographic map of the Star system. DAVID uses his hands to manipulate the holograms. He pushes and the Holographic map then changes from the ZEUS star system and into a holographic map of the entire Galaxy. The ZEUS star system and dozens of others have a small ‘U’ symbol above them and all of the one’s with the ‘U’ symbol are glowing red.

DAVID keeps his sight set on particular glowing star system and he frowns in confusion. He approaches it and touches it and suddenly he is looking at a very similar Star system with 8 planets and a very similar Sun in the middle. It is now clear that this is OUR star system. Only one of these planets glows and has the

’U’ shape symbol on it. DAVID approaches it and touches it. A large HOLOGRAM shows up in the centre of the platform and shows the planet EARTH.

DAVID

Earth!

We are at the doorway looking at DAVID staring at the hologram of EARTH when suddenly he turns and faces our direction. A 13 foot tall Being blocks our view.

INT. CARGO BAY. NIGHT

JANEK, RAVEL, CHANCE, RAY, JOSHUA, FIFIELD and VICKERS wait with their weapons as the Rover comes to a halt. DAVID exits the vehicle.

DAVID

Milburn’s in the back

FIFIELD

Is he alive?

DAVID

Yes. He’s fine

JANEK

Let’s get him to the sickbay

INT. SICKBAY. NIGHT

MILBURN is now on the examination table. MUDOW and FIFIELD stand over him while DAVID sits at a table looking into a monitor.

DAVID

This is strange

MUDOW

What?

DAVID

It’s his blood type. It’s changed

MUDOW

How’s that possible?

DAVID

I don’t know. His genes are changing

INT. SHAW’S ROOM. NIGHT

A weak and sickly looking SHAW is now dressed in her skin tight blue ‘Weyland’ suit. He groans as she exits the room.

INT. MESS HALL. NIGHT

HOLLOWAY sits on his wheelchair by the table. SHAW enters and approaches him.

SHAW

Holloway?

HOLLOWAY

Elizabeth

SHAW

What happened to you?

HOLLOWAY

Why do I look different?

SHAW

My god. I’m so sorry Holloway. What happened on that ship?

HOLLOWAY
