Jon Spaihts: Prometheus

as it does so, the bag is knocked off the Buggy that goes unnoticed by MILBURN.

INT. CARGO BAY. NIGHT

The Rover stops inside and turns till it faces the open door. The two Buggy’s also stop. Everyone exits their vehicles. RAY and JOSHUA grab the flame throwers and make their way to the other side of the room.

MILBURN searches the Buggy and looks around in panic.

MILBURN

where the fuck is it?

FIFIELD

Where’s what?

MILBURN

The bag

FIFIELD

I thought you had it?

SHAW spots the bag just a few meters from the ramp outside.

SHAW

I see it

EXT. PROMETHEUS. DAY/NIGHT

SHAW exits the PROMETHEUS and reaches the bag. She kneels down and picks it up. She stops moving as a loud thunderous storm can be heard. She looks up into the horizon only see a great EPIC spectacle. The entire cloud formation in the sky is falling to the surface in the distance and approaching the ship like a tsunami. The day soon turns to night. SHAW is in total awe and shock. She slowly stands up as the storm gets closer. Everyone in the background doesn’t notice her or the storm. SHAW is suddenly hit by the violent storm and is lifted into the air and thrown diagonally away from the Cargo Bay.

INT. CARGO BAY. NIGHT

HOLLOWAY

Elizabeth!

The violent storm fires through the Cargo Bay throwing everyone around the area like rag dolls.

EXT. PROMETHEUS. NIGHT

SHAW is thrown high into the air in between the side of the Cargo Bay and the Engine.

We are now looking through SHAW’S P.O.V and we are turning and twisting as he are lunged into the air.

We can hear SHAW’S static screams, whimpering and heavy panicked breathing as we bump into the ship, then the engine and then finally we crash into the rocky ground and roll around before lying still.

EXT. PROMETHEUS. DAY

The Rover stops no more than hundred meters from the Prometheus and parks right next to SHAWS body which is lying face down on the ground.

INT. MESS HALL. NIGHT

JANEK enters and finds only VICKERS inside. She sits by the table and smokes.

JANEK

We nearly lost someone today.

VICKERS

But we didn’t did we?

JANEK

You know me and you were watching footage of mankind’s first discovery of an alien species and you didn’t even seem surprised

VICKERS

What are you implying?

JANEK

You know something we don’t. What is it?

VICKERS

I’m in the dark as much as you are

JANEK

Really?

VICKERS

Yes really. The sooner we get out of here the better

JANEK

And you wouldn’t object if we all just packed up and left tonight?

VICKERS

I know you think I’m just some dumb ass suit looking after her interests well you’re wrong. I care more about these people and you than you think. After Shaw’s patched up, lets just get the hell out of here

JANEK

Yes ma’am

INT. SICKBAY. NIGHT

HOLLOWAY sits on a stool next to the table where SHAW lies on. SHAW smiles.

SHAW

You still here?

HOLLOWAY

I’m not going until I know you’re all right

SHAW

Just a few bumps and bruises. Mudow said I off pretty light

HOLLOWAY

Your lucky you didn’t break anything

ELIZABETH

god these beds are uncomfortable

HOLLOWAY

C’mon then I’ll take you to your room

HOLLOWAY helps ELIZABETH get up out of the table.

INT. LAB. NIGHT

All we can see is an index finger. In the middle of this finger is the ‘WEYLAND’ logo.

DAVID stands by his table staring at his finger.

His INDEX finger’s print has a small Weyland logo marked on it.

On the table is the large bag. Sitting on the table in front of DAVID is the white JAR. It is completely enclosed in the rubbery white JAR. DAVID opens a drawer and pulls out a small scalpel and cuts around the edges of the top of the JAR. He peels away the part he cut off and his left hand then gently reaches into the GOO filled JAR and lifts out a Greenish Yellow beady substance. He walks over to a large ‘microwave’ type machine and opens a hatch. He places the strange beads inside and shuts the hatch. He presses a button and a buzzing noise comes from the hatch. DAVID then makes his way to the bag and brings out the large ALIEN HEAD and takes it to a table with several rings over it. He places the HEAD on it.

INT. ELIZABETH’S ROOM. NIGHT

SHAW and HOLLOWAY both sit on the bed.

HOLLOWAY

How you feeling?

SHAW

The drugs Mudow gave me are helping

HOLLOWAY

So why the long face?

SHAW

We found evidence of extraterrestrial existence. Everything I’ve been led to believe was a lie

HOLLOWAY

Oh yeah I forgot that you were religious

SHAW

You were going to say something to me before we left

HOLLOWAY

It doesn’t matter

SHAW

No tell me

HOLLOWAY

I hate my job. I hate everything to do with Archaeology

SHAW

So why are you here?

HOLLOWAY gives an embarrassed smile and SHAW looks stunned and shocked.

SHAW

You like me?

HOLLOWAY

Yes but I know you don’t like me.

SHAW

But look at me now. I’m ugly

HOLLOWAY

No your not

SHAW

Yeah I am

HOLLOWAY gently grabs SHAW hair and tilts back so she faces him.

HOLLOWAY

No you’re not

The two kiss each other. Very quickly both are on the bed and HOLLOWAY lies on top of her.

SHAW

Holloway, I’ve never done this before

HOLLOWAY

It’s okay

HOLLOWAY is more quick now and his hands begin rubbing up her legs. SHAW gasps for air and tries to push his hand away but he forces his hand to continue rubbing her leg.

SHAW

No. Holloway wait. Please!

HOLLOWAY continues to kiss her and she tries to push him off but fails.

INT. CONTROL ROOM. NIGHT

JANEK sits on his chair with his head tilted back and with his eyes closed. Music overhead plays

“God’s gonna cut you down’ by Johnny Cash.

RAVEL sits by his chair drinking coffee from a metallic cup while CHANCE is staring at his monitor while rapidly typing into his keyboard.

JANEK

Will you stop that. You’re giving me a headache. What you doing anyway?

CHANCE rushes out of the room without saying anything. JANEK shakes his head and sighs. RAVEL smirks.

RAVEL

You gotta go then you gotta go I guess

EXT. PROMETHEUS. NIGHT

The Ship illuminated by hundreds of lights sits in the pitch darkness. The storm has passed and the night sky is illuminated by a blanket of Aurora, the large Saturn type planet and hundreds upon hundreds of stars. The sound of the howling winds resemble an unearthly scream.

INT. ELIZABETH’S ROOM. NIGHT

HOLLOWAY is standing next to the bed and puts on his trousers. He looks down and notices blood stains rising from the groin area of his trousers. He sits down at the edge of the bed and holds his head in shame. He looks over at SHAW whom is sniffling and tears can be seen dripping from her eyes. HOLLOWAY stands up and grabs his Shirt and walks toward the door and exits the room.

INT. LAB. NIGHT

CHANCE enters the Lab and approaches DAVID.

CHANCE

I’ve got some interesting news

DAVID

What is it?

CHANCE

The computer discovered something pretty weird

DAVID

Like what?

CHANCE

The planet’s atmosphere’s artificial

DAVID

Artificial? Are you sure?

CHANCE

I’m telling you what the computer said. The oxygen, the clouds, the atmosphere is artificial. I don’t understand it myself

DAVID

It sounds like you’re trying to tell me this planet is being Terraformed

CHANCE

That’s what the computer’s saying
