Jon Spaihts - Prometheus

I don’t know but I want to get off this rock as soon as possible

INT. DERELICT CHAMBER. NIGHT

We can only see the back of the large 13 foot tall being. One of the many large organic cages is lowered from the ceiling by organic slimy wires.

INT. CARGO BAY CORRIDOR. NIGHT

RAY walks over to one of the Sarcophagus wall capsules.

RAY

Okay take me down

INT. CONTROL ROOM. NIGHT

DAVID, JANEK, RAVEL, CHANCE, MUDOW, FIFIELD, JOSHUA, SHAW, HOLLOWAY and VICKERS are all in the room. Everyone is looking at DAVID.

JANEK

Okay David start from the beginning and explain to these people what you just told me

DAVID

The computer and I have translated and collated all of the evidence we’ve found so far. The computer was able to translate most of the hieroglyphics and I was able to put two and two together.

EXT. PROMETHEUS. NIGHT

The Cargo Bay lowers from the ship and lands on the ground.

INT. CONTROL ROOM. NIGHT

DAVID

These Beings

JANEK

Terraformers as you called them

DAVID

Right. These Terraformers have terraformed dozens, maybe thousands of planets around the galaxy. This planet is one of them; one of their latest

INT. CARGO BAY. NIGHT

RAY is now in the cargo bay. He walks over the closed door.

INT. CONTROL ROOM. NIGHT

DAVID

They were in the middle of terraforming this world when they found indigenous life forms

FIFIELD

Wait that’s impossible. Nothing could live here. The planets too hostile for life

DAVID

For humans yes, more Earth like creatures yes but life finds a way to adapt and evolve. These Terraformers found thousands of these life forms and captured them and locked them in cages. They began manipulating these life forms DNA and eventually created something, some kind of hybrid off spring

FIFIELD

What do you mean?

DAVID

These Beings spliced their own DNA with that of the indigenous life forms to create a new species. Their plan was to create an intelligent species. They’ve spliced their DNA with many creatures around the galaxy to create new species. But this one went wrong, very wrong

INT. CARGO BAY. NIGHT

RAY presses a button and the door begins to open.

INT. CONTROL ROOM. NIGHT

DAVID

They didn’t just create a new species. They created a weapon. A biomechanical weapon that could wipe out an entire planet’s population. They created thousands upon thousands of them. After one of their crafts left this planet something went wrong and one of these weapons got loose and began killing the crew. The Being piloting the craft crashed it on a nearby planetoid and sent a warning to the craft on this planet

INT. CARGO BAY. NIGHT

A confused and startled RAY is at the top of the ramp and staring outside. He is looking at an organic cage of some sort. He approaches it.

INT. CONTROL ROOM. NIGHT

DAVID

So this planet was therefore quarantined and abandoned

JANEK

Tell them the last bit you told me

DAVID looks at the surprised and weary crew.

DAVID

When I was inside the Alien craft I found some sort of Orrery. It showed me all of the planets these beings have terraformed and helped evolve. One of them was Earth!

SHAW

Impossible!

VICKERS

Are you sure?

DAVID

Yes I’m afraid, it’s true. This being knows we are from Earth and knows we are human. There’s one more thing I haven’t told you. This craft also has thousands of these biomechanical weapons

SHAW

That’s what I saw in my dream!

DAVID

You’re dream?

SHAW

My god!

JANEK

What is it?

SHAW

That’s what it meant by saying it will Punish us for stealing! It’s going to take these weapons to Earth!

Suddenly MILBURN walks into the room. He is gasping heavily and hangs on to the door.

FIFIELD

Milburn!

MILBURN

What happened?

MUDOW

Jesus Christ take him back to the sickbay

MILBURN

I’m fine. Get away from me

MILBURN’S face is pale, most of his hair is missing, his eyes are sunk back and bloodshot, his eye bags are dark red and his face is swollen.

FIFIELD

You don’t look fine man

MILBURN

I’m fine

INT. CARGO BAY. NIGHT

The organic CAGE begins shaking and cracking and popping from the inside. RAY slowly backs up into the Cargo Bay, startled. Suddenly a large hole on the CAGE explodes and gallons of Black tar like substance spills out. Something large and black and slimy escapes from the CAGE.

RAY stands there in frozen shock and awe. He is looking down and then looks up. We cant see what he is looking at it but we can hear something approach him. There is a hissing and Hyena type yelp. RAY

immediately turns and runs for the door. There is a howling unearthly scream. SUDDENLY as RAY reaches the door he is stopped dead in his tracks by a

long thick Dragon type tail which grabs his leg. RAY falls and is dragged away from the door. RAY screams.

INT. CONTROL ROOM. NIGHT

RAVEL looks at his monitor which is showing live footage from the Cargo Bay. He looks closer and spots some weirdly shaped black monster standing over RAY.

RAVEL

Guys!

INT. CARGO BAY. NIGHT

RAY is lying on the ground looking up at the unseen creature. A long black, hairy and slimy tentacle like rod which has a very sharp pointy edge. Wrapped around this Tentacle are small see through greyish veins. It stabs into his chest. RAY screams out in agony. Seven more of these Tentacle like rods appear and stab down all over his body. RAY’S blood can be seen being sucked up through the tentacles veins. We can now see the back of the monsters head as it leans down and comes face to face with RAY. The back of it’s head is long, thick, slimy and hairy and shaped like a cigar.

EXT. PROMETHEUS. NIGHT

The Cargo Bay rises from the ground with the door still open. It is then attached to the Belly of the ship.

INT. CARGO BAY CORRIDOR. NIGHT

CHANCE and JOSHUA stand at each side of the Cargo Bay door. Both men have pistols. HOLLOWAY is now out of his wheelchair and is walking using a cane and MUDOW’S arm for support. SHAW stands next to them. VICKERS and a seemingly fit and healthy MILBURN have flame throwers and they are both standing next to FIFIELD, JANEK and RAVEL.

INT. CARGO BAY. NIGHT

The door opens and CHANCE and JOSHUA storm inside with their pistols raised. They look around and find only blood stains on the floor. SHAW, MUDOW and HOLLOWAY appear at the doorway.

CHANCE then notices RAY; he is cocooned and dangling from the ceiling. As we look closer at him we can see a large hole in the centre of his face.

Suddenly there is a hissing and screeching noise and the large eight foot tall MONSTER jumps from the ceiling pipes and lands on the ground. It looks over at them. It has no eyes, nose or even mouth. It’s face looks like a closed human fist. It has eight long Tentacles, a large dragon like tail and eight strange spider like legs which resemble human like fingers.

It has four organic pipe like tubes on it’s back.

CHANCE

Kill it!

Both JOSHUA and CHANCE begin firing their pistols at it. The MONSTER scurries away and hides around the corner of one of the two Rovers. CHANCE and JOSHUA run to the Rover and split up. VICKERS and MILBURN enter with their flame throwers. JOSHUA walks around the side of the Rover and he is immediately attacked by the MONSTER. The eight Tentacles strike him everywhere around the chest and they pulls him forward toward the MONSTER. JOSHUA looks up at it in horror. The MONSTERS fist like face opens like a hand. The inside of the MONSTERS face looks like a female sexual organ with a small hole in the centre. SUDDENLY a hairy, slimy, black spike like hose appears from the hole. It shoots out from the hole like a bullet and strikes JOSHUA in the face with force.
