Jon Spaihts - Prometheus

SHAW

What is this place? It looks like the one we already found

DAVID

This is different

HOLLOWAY

I’m getting readings of energy in here

DAVID turns to face HOLLOWAY whom is looking at the device in his hands.

DAVID

What kind of energy?

HOLLOWAY

My god! It’s antimatter!

EXT. PROMETHEUS. DAWN

The second ROVER drives out of the ship and speeds through the landscape.

INT. MESS HALL CORRIDOR. DAWN

JANEK coughs up blood and crawls through the corridor.

INT. DERELICT CONTROL ROOM. DAWN

DAVID looks back at the monument and walks up to it and touches it. SHAW walks over to DAVID.

SHAW

David how can we destroy this thing?

DAVID

I don’t know. I really don’t

DAVID turns to face SHAW but his gaze zooms past her toward HOLLOWAY whom is standing at the doorway. SHAW turns around also. HOLLOWAY looks back at them in confusion before turning around also. He begins to gasp in fear and takes several steps backwards as he looks up at something.

The Terraformer, unmasked and not wearing it’s suit

looks down at HOLLOWAY. It’s face and head is almost human but at the same time looks nothing like a human. It’s large oval black eyes are sunk deep into the sockets and doesn’t seem to blink. It has a nose resembling a Boxer’s nose. It’s mouth is small and thin. It’s pale white face and balding head has weird markings and the 13 foot tall Alien looks right into HOLLOWAY’S eyes. HOLLOWAY begins gasping in pain and falls to his knees holding his ears and his eyes close tightly and he frowns and groans in pain.

DAVID

Kill it!

SHAW runs to the centre of the room with her flame thrower aimed at the Terraformer. The Terraformer picks up HOLLOWAY by the throat and steps deep into the room and it keeps it’s eyes locked on SHAW’S.

SHAW immediately lowers her weapon and looks at the Beings eyes in awe.

DAVID

Shaw what are you waiting for?

The Terraformer drops HOLLOWAY and steps back toward the doorway but never let’s it’s eyes leave that of SHAW’S. SHAW begins shaking and groaning in pain with her eyes shut tight. She screams!

SHAW

There is a god!

The Terraformer very slowly moves it’s head side to side.

SHAW

You’re wrong! You’re not my god! No!

DAVID

Shaw! Kill it!

SHAW

It’s inside my head!

DAVID looks around before looking down at his Pick Axe. SHAW’S expression is now in shock and merciful. She brings up the flame thrower and turns slightly to HOLLOWAY whom is struggling to stand up. Her eyes never leave that of the Terraformers but her body and weapon point toward a now confused HOLLOWAY.

SHAW begins shedding tears.

SHAW

No! please don’t do it!

The Terraformer gives a slight unnerving smile.

HOLLOWAY

Elizabeth? What are you doing? Elizabeth?

SHAW

No!

HOLLOWAY then backs up against the wall and holds his hands out in mercy. SHAW screams as she squeezes the trigger. HOLLOWAY lets out a blood cur;ling scream as the wall of fire from her weapon blasts HOLLOWAY engulfing him in fire.

HOLLOWAY

Elizabeth!!

HOLLOWAY screams and makes unearthly yells and howls as he falls to his knees in fire. He then falls face first into the ground and doesn’t make another noise.

Suddenly DAVID armed with the Pick Axe lunges out at the Terraformer and strikes it in the right arm.

The Terraformer makes no noise or facial expression.

It’s control over SHAW is now over. SHAW falls to her knees and begins weeping over what she was forced to do. The Terraformers blood sprays out of the wound and DAVIDS entire right hand is then covered in the greenish yellow blood and not before long his hand begins to melt. The Terraformer grabs DAVID by the neck and lifts him high up in the air. It then throws him to the ground and it’s right leg lifts up and stamps down hard into DAVIDS chest crushing right through into the ground beneath DAVID. White fluid explodes from DAVIDS mouth, nostrils, ears and even leaks out from his eyes. His voice is now distorted and almost computerised.

DAVID

Shaw! Run!

SHAW runs right past the Terraformer and into the corridor. The Terraformer turns and follows her.

INT. DERELICT CORRIDOR. DAWN

SHAW sprints through the corridor and puts on her helmet in the process.

INT. DERELICT CORRIDOR. DAWN

SHAW is running through this dark bone shaped and slimy corridor. The only light is that from her suit and flame thrower. She stops and turns and fires her weapon unleashing a wave of fire down the corridor. She then turns and continues running.

INT. ORRERY. DAWN

The Terraformer walks to the front of the Platform and touches the device. It then walks around the platform as the Sarcophagus’s rise and in the centre a large chair with a large ‘cannon’ type mechanism rises from the ground.

INT. DERELICT CONTROL ROOM. DAWN

The Terraformer head monument begins making loud clicking and clonking noises. The URNS begin to turn to face each other and then suddenly blue beams of light shoot out from the URNS and within seconds all of the beams are connected to one another.

INT. ORRERY. DAWN

The Terraformer now wearing it’s skeletal biomechanoid suit and Helmet approaches the chair and climbs into. The Hose like trunk on it’s mask is then connected to the large ‘cannon’ mechanism in front of it and it’s entire suit and helmet is then attached to the chair as if it were ‘APART’ of the chair.

It touches the panel in front of it.

INT. DERELICT CONTROL ROOM. DAWN

The monuments eyes and mouth light up blue and a Hologram of Earth rises from the small circular platform in the centre of the room. A weak near destroyed DAVID spits his white blood before reaching for a button on his collar.

DAVID

Elizabeth it’s preparing to take it’s cargo to Earth. Do what you have to do and do it now

EXT. DERELICT. DAWN

SHAW jumps from the entrance of the ship and onto the ground. She begins running from the craft and holds the button on her collar.

SHAW

Janek can you hear me?

INT. PROMETHEUS CONTROL ROOM

JANEK feebly crawls up and sits at his control seat. He answers the call.

JANEK

I can hear you?

SHAW

It’s the space ship. It’s going to leave. It’s destination is Earth. We were wrong, we were so wrong. You have to stop it. No matter what happens to us, you have to stop it. Or everyone and everything on Earth will die. YOU HAVE TO STOP IT!

JANEK

I got it

JANEK frowns and nods his head.

JANEK

No matter what!

He makes his way to RAVELS controls and sits by it. He punches in commands.

EXT. PROMETHEUS. DAWN

The engines begin blowing fumes. The ship rises from the ground and rises high up in the sky.

EXT. DERELICT. DAWN

The Derelict begins making a loud engine noise and it’s two towering arms rise from the ground till they are facing the sky. SHAW stops running and turns to face the giant alien craft. It then makes a screaming noise as it rises from the ground and speeds toward the sky.

The ships engines change direction and the ship begins speeding through the air and eventually comes head to head with the Derelict.

EXT. LANDSCAPE. DAWN

The Rover, now approaching stops and VICKERS gets out of the Rover and begins running toward SHAW. She then stops by SHAWS side and the two women stare up in shock and awe.

SHAW

It’s Prometheus!

The racing Prometheus speeds toward the ‘U’ shape craft which is now two miles above the surface.

INT. CONTROL ROOM. DAWN

JANEK lets out a loud war cry as his ship speeds into it.

EXT. DERELICT. DAWN

The ship smashes into the Derelict causing a huge explosion. Although the explosion was large and epic it didn’t destroy the Alien Derelict craft but did cause the Derelict to stop dead in it’s tracks and begins to fall down to the surface.
