MILBURN and MUDOW place the large ALIEN head into the bag. DAVID places the URN inside the bag.
MILBURN picks up the bag and carries it as the group head back toward the zip wire, our view zooms in on the opened URN.
EXT. CATHEDRAL. DAY
CHANCE, RAY and JOSHUA are waiting by the vehicles watching the group arrive at the bottom of the staircase.
CHANCE
What did you find?
MUDOW
We’ll explain later
CHANCE
Can we go now?
MUDOW
Right everybody get in, we’re leaving
Everyone rushes to their vehicles. MILBURN who is now holding the bag climbs onto the back of one of the Buggy’s.
INT. ORRERY. DAY
We are looking at a strange ALIEN control panel. There is a series of different coloured buttons and many weird and strange hieroglyphics. A large thick pale/blue hand comes into view. It has three very long fingers and a thumb. It makes a fist and one of it’s fingers touches a button.
EXT. ZEUS CLOUDS. DAY
The thick dense greyish white clouds begin swirling even faster and a series of thunderous bangs are heard as a lightening storm can be seen from within.
EXT. PROMETHEUS. DAY
The three vehicles speed toward the PROMETHEUS
INT. CONTROL ROOM. DAY
JANEK
Open the Cargo Bay ramp
RAVEL
It’s already done sir. Er… Sir?
JANEK
What now?
RAVEL
It’s the atmosphere. It’s changing
JANEK
What do you mean changing?
RAVEL
Look!
JANEK stares out of the window and his eyes widen.
EXT. PROMETHEUS. NIGHT
The Rover and the 2 Buggy’s drive to the ramp. MILBURNS Buggy is the last to drive up the ramp but
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!
