AVP: Alien vs. Predator (2004) - full transcript

Lunch.

Hey. Hey. hey

Come here. Take a look at this.

- What is it?
- It's a data stream from PS12.

- Where is she?
- Right above Sector 14.

There isn't anything in Sector 14.

There is now.

Hello.

Miss Woods,
pleasure to make your acquaintance.

- Who is this?
- My name? Maxwell Stafiord

I represent Wayland Industries.



Let me guess.
He's suing us again?

You misunderstand. Mr Weyland-
he's offered to fund...

the foundation with which you are associated
for a full year if you'll meet with him.

- When?
- Tomorrow

Tomorrows gonna be a problem.

It'll take me a week
to get back to the world.

Yes, I told Mr. Weyland that.

He said he didn't have a week.

We must be right on top of it.

What is it, Sebastian?

Early 1950s, I'd say.

Hey, Juan, we are almost there.

Huh, according to you...

The Teotihuac?n's final gift to
their dying king was a Pepsi.



- Come on. Give me one more month, please.
- No.

I'm bringing in another team.

What?

Without a crew and
a new permit, we're out of business.

Okay. Hold the team
together for two days.

I'll go to Mexico City,
and I'll talk to the bank.

- I'll get us more money.
- Right.

I might be able to help you
accomplish that, Professor.

Do I know you?

In exchange for a little of your time.

Oh. I'm sorry. I should have, um,
switched the flash off.

There's your magazine.

Excuse me, - That's okay.

I'm-I'm documenting
the trip for my boys.

This is them. Jacob and Scotty

Would you mind just taking a picture? Thank you.
- Sure.

Just want to show them that their dad
wasn't always so boring.

- Smile.
- Okay

Oh.

- There you go.
- Thank you.

Uh, I'm Graeme Miller.
I'm a chemical engineer.

Alexa Woods.
Environmental technician and guide.

Do you work for Weyland?

Oh, no. No, I, um-

I split my time between working for
a small environmental group...

and taking scientists
on expeditions on the ice.

Lex. You and your friend buckle up.
We're gonna hit some turbulence.

Thanks, jack.

- Is he a friend of yours?
- Of my dad's.

My father trained
most of the pilots down here.

- Just passed the P.S.R.
- Damn. I wish I got a picture.

- Of what?
- Um, the-the P.S.R.

I wish he'd called it out
before we passed it.

The P.S.R. is the "point of safe return."

It means we've used up half our fuel,
so we can't turn back.

Right. But if something
went wrong, we could, uh...

land, presumably.

- We could ditch.
- Yeah. Ditch.

But the temperature of the water
would kill us in three minutes

- Weyland's check cleared.
- Good, You know what?

We're gonna listen to whatever
he has to say. We nod, we smile...

And we politely decline
whatever offer he makes.

Take the money,
and we head back to Mexico.

- Right.
- Right.

- Havin' fun?
- Yeah. lt's quite an adventure.

Listen, my kids are not going to believe
this. Would you mind taking a picture?

Um, you have to hold it like that till it flashes twice.
- You're kidding.

- Get off, or you'll wear your ass for a hat.
- Okay.

- All right. Okay. Sure.
- Nice team spirit.

Keep the beakers
away from the gear.

What does he mean, "beaker"?

That's what they call
scientists out here.

- You know, Beaker, like in The Muppet Show.
- Everybody please.

Your attention.

Mr. Weyland.

Seven days ago...

one of my satellites over Antarctica
hunting for mineral deposits...

discovered a sudden heat bloom
beneath the earth...

which outlined this.

The red lines indicate solid walls.

Through thermal mapping...

we've generated a rough three-dimensional
image of the structure

It's massive, containing
hundreds of rooms...

All built around a central core.

My experts tell me it's a pyramid.

What they can't agree on
is who built it and when.

One expert tells me this has features
reminiscent of the Aztecs.

Another tell me
it's probably Cambodian.

What they all agree on
is that the smooth side...

Is definitively Egyptian.

- I think your experts are right.
- Which one?

- All of them.
- Meaning what exactly?

This pyramid contains
the features of all three cultures.

This might be
the first pyramid ever built.

- But built by whom?
- By the first civilization.

Thank you.

But how could anyone possibly build
a pyramid out here?

Ancient maps show
Antarctica free of ice.

It's likely the continent
was once habitable,

Well, I can't tell you
who built it, but...

If I can take a sample from it,
I can tell you how old it is.

Well, Dr. Miller, I'm offering to put you
right next to this thing.

Uh, what caused the heat bloom?

- I don't know.
- Where exactly on the ice is this?

Bouvet?ya Island.
But it's not on the ice.

It's 2,000 feet below it.

- Mr. Quinn.
- Mr. Stafiord

You're looking at the best
drilling team in the world.

We'll chew to that depth
in seven days.

And add three weeks on top of that
to train everyone here.

We don't have that
kind oftime, Miss Woods.

I'm not the only one with a satellite
over Antarctica.

Others will be here-soon.

Maybe I wasn't clear.

No one in this room
is ready for this trip.

Well, that's why I asked you here.

Bouvet?ya is one of the most
isolated places in the world,

The nearest land is a thousand miles away
There's no help if we run into trouble.

You're right. lt's a no-man's-land.

But the train has left the station.

And I think I speak for
everyone aboard this ship.

This is worth the risk.

Find another guide.

Hydraulic Team 3 report
for safety check on Deck B4.

I've spoken with Mr. Weyland. The money's
been wired to your foundation's account.

Chopper's refueling to fly you home.

- Who'd you get?
- O.C.R. team in 1300 hours.

Gerald Murdoch.

Come in.
- Gerry Murdoch has two seasons of ice time. He's not ready.

- Don't worry about it.
- What about Paul Woodman or Andrew Keeler?

- We called 'em.
- And?

- They gave the same bullshit answer you did.
- Bullshit?

Mr. Weyland,
what I told you wasn't bullshit.

If you rush this, people will get hurt.

Maybe die.
- I don't understand your objections, Miss Woods.

We're not asking you
to take us up Everest.

We need you take us from the ship to the
pyramid and then back to the ship. That's it.

And what about inside the pyramid?

You don't have to worry about that.
Once we're on the site...

we have the best equipment, technology
and experts that money can buy.

- Is this new?
- It's the latest.

Mr. Weyland,
when I lead my team...

I don't ever leave my team

I admire your passion.

I wish you were going with us.

You're making a mistake.

Ah, it's in the upper atmosphere.

Streams of protons
and electrons from the sun...

Being deflected by the Earth's magnetic
field, causing a solar radiation storm.

Shackleton called Antarctica
the last great journey left to man.

It's the one place left in the world
that no one owns.

It's completely free.

Me-I'm sort of partial
to the penguins.

I wish you'd reconsider
coming with us, Lex.

Come on. Don't make me pull out
pictures of my kids again.

Your kids aren't that cute.

What if we got pictures
of other people's kids?

- Want my advice?
- Mm-hmm.

Stay on the boat.

Okay. Let me ask you something.

Do we stand a better chance
of surviving with you...

or with the number two choice?

Miss Woods.

Your helicopter is refueled.
They're waiting for you.

Everybody listen up!

Gather round.

- Told you she'd stay.
- Gentlemen.

She can't resist my animal magnetism.

Laugh it up, Miller.
Laugh it up.

Gentlemen.

It is my job to keep you alive
on this expedition.

And I need your help to do that.

Since I don't have time to properly train
you, I'm laying down three simple rules.

One: No one goes
anywhere alone-ever.

Two:

Everyone must maintain
constant communication.

Three: Unexpected things
are gonna happen.

When they do, no one tries to be a hero.

- Understood?
- Mm-hmm.

- Understood?
- Yes, ma'am.

Good.

Seven seasons on the ice, and
I've never seen a gun save someones life.

- I don't plan on using it.
- Then why bring it?

The same principle as a condom.

I'd rather have one and not need it...

than need it and not have one.

I'm glad that you decided to stay

Move the trucks out on the ice.

Move that.

Hey, let's go.

- What's with the bottle cap?
- What?

What's with the bottle cap?

Oh.

This is a-a valuable archeological find.

When I was a kid
growing up in Italy...

- you know what they call a moon that big?
- Hmm?

La luna del cacciatore.

"La luna del cacciatore."

- Brava.
- What's that?

Hunter's moon.

- "Hunter's moon."
- Mm-hmm.

Hmm.

Hold it, guys

Keep those engines runnin'!

Set it down.

Hey. Move up a little further.

Connors.

It's an abandoned whaling station.

According to your
satellite imagery, Mr. Weyland...

the pyramid is located
directly beneath it.

All right. Bring it up.
Come on. Come on.

Spread out.

We'll use this place as a base camp.

Mr. Quinn, begin drilling
operations as soon as you can.

I'm on it. Okay, guys.
Let's move out.

- What are these?
- Whale bones.

This station was
abandoned in 1904.

Everyone just disappeared overnight.

It was a big mystery back then.

Oh.

One for National Geographic.

Lex.

- No one goes anywhere alone.
- Shh.

There's something there. Listen.

Listen.

Careful. They bite.

Hey. Over here! Over here!

What is it?

Can you believe that?

It's drilled at a perfect
30-degree angle.

- How far does it go down?
- All the way to the pyramid.

There it is. Clear as day

And the same time yesterday.

- Nothing.
- How was it done?

Thermal equipment of some kind.

Like yours?

More advanced.
Incredibly powerful.

I've never seen anything like it.

I'm telling you. There's no team
and no machine in the world...

that could cut
to this depth in 24 hours.

Well, the only way
we're gonna know for sure...

is to get down there and find out.

Look at that. Change it now!

Okay, guys.
What's taking so long?

- There is a storm coming.
- Come on! Pack 'em and stack 'em! Get 'em inside!

There's no room for
sick men on this expedition.

My doctors tell me
the worst is behind me.

You're not a very good liar, Mr. Weyland.

Stay on the ship. We'll update you
at the top of every hour.

You know, when you get sick...

you think about your life
and how you're gonna be remembered.

You know what I realize
will happen when I go?

Ten percent fall
in share prices. Maybe 12.

- That's it.
- I've heard this speech before.

My dad broke his leg 700 feet
from the summit of Mt. Rainier.

He was like you.
He wouldn't go back or let us stop.

We reached the top...

and he opened a bottle
of champagne.

I had my first drink
with my dad at 14,400 feet.

On the way down he developed a blood clot
in his leg that traveled to his lung.

He suffered for four hours before
dying 20 minutes from the base.

You think that's the last thing
your dad remembers? The pain?

Or drinking champagne with his daughter
74,000 feet in the air?

I need this.

Come on. Move!

Ah! Shit.

Mr. Weyland!

Man down!

- Mr. Weyland!
- Get him! Somebody get him!

Move it! Now!

I don't understand it. No equipment.

No sign of another team.

Well, that tunnel didn't dig itself.

Move it. Connors,
get those lights up.

We have power.

Congratulations, Mr. Weyland.

Looks like you'll be
leaving your mark afterall.

Thank you. Thank you.

Thank you all for this.

Let's make history.

Thomas.

What is it?

I recognize the Egyptian.

The second symbol is Aztec.
Preconquest era.

The third is Cambodian.

Then you were right
The pyramid contains all three cultures.

That's what it looks like.

"You may... choose...

to enter."

"Those who choose may enter."

Who taught you to translate?

Funny. Kind of looked like you.

Well, it's not "choose."

It's "chosen."

"Only the chosen ones may enter."

Quinn, is that you out there?

Mikkel.

What is all this?

This is the sacrificial chamber.

Just like the Aztecs and the Egyptians.

Whoever built this pyramid
believed in ritual sacrifice.

This iss where the chosen ones
were ofiered to the gods.

Those that were chosen would lie here.

They weren't bound or tied in any way.

They went to die willingly.

Men and women.

It was considered an honor.

Lucky them.

Oh, God.

It's incredible.

The entireskull and spinal
column's removed in one piece.

Look at this.

Look at that.
The cleanness of the cut.

Straight through the bone.
There's no abrasions, nothing.

It's probably just the air
moving through the tunnels.

Maybe.

Whatever this is,
it's been dead a while.

The bones have
completely calcified.

No idea how long it's been here, but
the temperature has kept it preserved.

Looks like some kind of scorpion.

No. Climate's too hostile
for a scorpion.

Ever seen anything like it?

"They gave their lives...

so the hunt could begin."

What happened here?

It's common in ritual sacrifice
to take the heart of the victim.

That's nice.

But that's not where your heart is.

Besides, it looks like
the bones were bent straight out.

Something broke out of this body.

What have you found, Max?

It's a shaft to another level

Looks like there's
another room down there.

Let's move to
that lower room, Max.

We're moving on, everyone. Miss Woods.

You. Stay here. Rousseau,
you stay with him. Keep a team with you.

Catalog everything.

Professor.

This should be directly below
the sacrificial chamber.

Sebastian.

It's a sarcophagus.

This is the Long Count.

This is the Aztec calendar.

And this-It's some kind of
combination lock.

Days.

Months. Years.

The dials are set for...

1904.

Someone opened this
a hundred years ago?

What's today's date?

- October 10.
- 10/10/2004.

- You sure this is gonna work?
- I don't know.

Back up!

Oh, my God. Take a look at this.

Any idea what these are?

No.

You?

- No.
- It's a good thing we brought the experts.

Well, yeah, It is a good thing.

Cause this is like finding
Moses' DVD collection

Weyland.

A little too much excitement.

Okay We've, uh-
We've been out long enough far today

"We're gonna setup base camp tonight
at the whaling station."

and get back at it
first thing tomorrow

Well, you can go back to the base camp,
Miss Woods, but, uh, we're staying here.

No.

You wanted to leave
without proper prep. We did.

You wanted to be
the first ones here. We are.

You've claimed the find. It's yours.

Now, we move as a team,
and we're done for the day.

You heard her.

What do you want to do with these, Mr. Weyland?
- Take them.

We'll run further tests on the surface.

No. No!

Don't touch them.

Watch out.

The doors!

The door.

What's going on?

Look out.

- See if you can stop it.
- You okay?

- Yeah.
- There must be another way out.

The slab's gotta weigh two tons.
We'll never move it.

What did you say
this room was called?

Sacrificial chamber.

Thomas. Rousseau.

- Tom, come in.
- Come in, Rousseau.

- Rousseau!
- Tommy, come in.

- Is there anything you didn't tell me?
- Nothing.

Your guess is as good as mine.

Well, whatever it is,
we're not prepared for it.

We're gonna round up the rest of the team
and get to the surface. Let's move!

What are you doing?

My job.

Yours is over.
- My job is over when everyone is back on the boat safely.

And that gun
doesn't change anything.

This bearing should
take us back to the entrance...

and we'll regroup
at the whaling station.

What about Thomas? Rousseau?

- We'll find them on the way up.
- Max.

Stone, Verheiden,
cover our backs.

The heat bloom that your satellite detected
makes a lot more sense now, Mr. Weyland.

- What do you mean?
- Well, a building this sophisticated...

Would require a major energy source.

I think that's what
your satellite detected

A power plant for this pyramid firing up.

- Preparing.
- Preparing?

- For what?
- Gentlemen

Keep close.

- Recognize what's on their shoulders?
- Yeah.

We worshipped these things?

According to this, we did.

And the artifacts you removed
from the sarcophagus...

seem to be their weapons.

Hmm.

Let's keep moving,
Only another 200 yards to the entrance.

- Take cover.
- Move! Move!

Where's Stone?

Stone!

The pyramid's shifting again!

The doors are dosing! Get out!

- Come on!
- Let's go!

Let's go! Let's go!

Hey!

Hey, Verheiden!

Verheiden!

Somebody!

Run! Let's go!

No!

Quickly!

No! No!

I hit that son of a bitch dead-on.

It didn't stop, it didn't slow.

- Hey, Verheiden.
- It didn't flinch!

- Verheiden.
- What?

I am not a soldier, but I think
you should calm down now

We're not dead yet, okay?

Well, thanks, Professor.

Actually, it's "Doctor"
and you're welcome. Okay?

What?

Hey! Can you hear me?

It's Connors! Where are you?

We're never getting out of this place.

Have you got any children?

- Got a son.
- Yeah I've got two.

That means that we do not have
the luxury of quitting.

We're gonna make it out of here.

We're surviving this
if I have to carry you the whole way.

There's no way out back there.

No damage.

One of our men is dead.

I need to know
what this man died for.

He died trying to make history.

Whose? Yours?

- What's that?
- Just a theory.

The Aztec calendar was metric-

based on multiples of 10.

Based on multiples of 10.

I'm guessing that the pyramid
reconfigures every 10 minutes.

Let's stick together.

Weyland.

It would seem...

that we are rats in a maze.

Sorry.

Shit.

Connors? Connors!

Verheiden?

Verheiden. Oh, God.

- Come on! Get me out of here!
- It's okay

I'm gonna find a way
to get down to you, okay?

Get me out of here!

Verheiden!

- Verheiden!
- No!

Want a piece of me?

You ugly son of a bitch!

Oh, God.

Weyland, you okay?

Yeah. I'm fine.

Leave it.
It can only slow us down.

Too much has been lost
to leave here with nothing.

Give it to me.

- Max!
- Max!

Ow!

- Hold on.
- Look out!

Come on. We have to get Weyland.

Weyland come on. Move!

Come on. Come on, you guys.

- Come on.
- What were those things?

You tell me.
You're the pyramid expert.

I've got to stop. I've got to stop.

Take it easy. Weyland.

Weyland. Look at me. Look at me.

You have to slow
your breathing down.

Slow, steady breaths.

- Weyland, come on.
- I can hardly stand.

Weyland, I'm not gonna
let you die down here.

You didn't.

There's another one!
We have to go. Now!

- Weyland.
- Come with us.

- Sebastian, get her out of here. Now!
- Weyland.

Come on.

Run!

Don't turn your back on me.

- Lex, wait.
- Weyland!

You can't help him.

We have to go.

We keep it together,
we make it to the surface.

Let's go. Let's go.

We keep it together,
we make it to the-

We keep it together,
we make it to the sur-

We make it to the sur-
make it to the surface.

Wait.

This way.

Go. Go!

Look overhere.

- He's marking himself.
- What?

Ancient warriors would mark themselves
with the blood of their kill.

It's a rite of passage.

This is starting to make sense.

I think this is a manhood ritual.

The humanoid ones,
they've been sent here...

to prove that they're
worthy to become adults.

You're saying they're,
what, teenagers?

That's why they didn't carry
those guns with them to begin with.

They have to earn them.

The hieroglyphs are
a little difficult to make out...

but the story's all here.

Thousands of years ago,
these hunters found a backwater planet.

They taught humans how to build
and were worshipped as gods

Every hundred years,
the gods would return.

And when they did,
they would expect a sacrifice.

Humans were used to breed the
ultimate prey.

The hunters would battle
with these great serpents...

to prove themselves worthy
to carry the mark.

But if the hunters lost...

they made sure nothing survived.

An entire civilization
wiped out overnight.

So, the humanoids, the hunters...

they brought those creatures
here to hunt?

And they use us like cattle.

We're hosts for them to breed in.

The heat bloom was designed to lure us
down here. This whole thing was a trap.

Without us, there could be no hunt.

Shoot it! Verheiden!

Oh, shit.

When that door opens, we're dead.

- Not if we set things right.
- What do you mean?

This pyramid, it's like a prison.

We took the guards' guns,
and now the prisoners are running free.

To restore order,
the guards need their guns.

When that door opens,
we're gonna give that thing his gun back.

Are you crazy?
During a big game hunt...

the animals being hunted
don't arm the hunters.

They're not hunting us.
We're in the middle of a war.

- It's time to pick a side.
- We are on our side.

We have to consider the possibility
we might not make it out of here.

But we have to make sure those serpents
don't reach the surface.

Because if they do...

everything everywhere could die.

The enemy of my enemy... is my friend.

Let's go find our friend.

How do you say
"scared shitless" in Italian?

More or less.

Move!

Lex!

Lex.

Hold on.

Come on, Lex.

Oh, no.

Wait. Wait. Please, wait.

The enemy of my enemy is my friend.

Hey. I'm coming with you,
you hear me, you ugly creature?

What are you doing?

Miller.

- Sebastian.
- Help me, Lex.

- I'm gonna get you out of there.
- It's too late.

- It's inside me.
- I'm gonna get you out of here.

- You can't-
- No! No. N-

No! No. I have to help him.

Lex! They mustn't reach the surface.

- They mustn't reach the surface.
- I know.

Do it!

I'm sorry! I'm sorry!

It's a bomb.

Well, I hope it kills
every fuckin' one of 'em.

You are one ugly mother-

Got it!
