Alien: Romulus

Attention all workers.

Attention all workers.

Day shift starting in T-minus 15 minutes.

Farmers to report to mess hall immediately.

If you are experiencing any symptoms,

such as fever, cough,

vomiting, or difficulty breathing,

proceed to the medical bay for examination.

The safety and well-being of our colony

is Weyland-Yutani's top priority.

Attention all workers...

Did you hear about the claustrophobic astronaut?

He needed space.

I'm begging you, you got to stop.

I just spent my full share on a belt that won't fit.

Huge waist.

See that cornbread.

Maybe it's 'cause I'm on this seafood diet.

I see food, I eat it.

That's so bad.

You always laughed at that one.

Yeah, when I was 12.

I'm sure it's Mr. Finch.

We owe him three months today.

He'll call again.

Well, maybe we won't be here when he does.

Andy. Stay close to me.

Wake up. Wake up now.

We're all Weyland-Yutani slaves.

The company pays us with food and shelter

and takes our lives in exchange.

Don't believe their lies.

They own you!

Andy, Andy. Hey, hey, hey.

Hey, Andy. Come on. Come on.

- What did I do? - It's a scam.

The ball is never under the cup that you pick.

It's a trick.

But how am I gonna get the money?

Money for what?

To pay for the horse when we get to Yvaga.

You're gonna get a horse?

I wanna call it Raindy.

Do you get it?

- Raindy. - No, I like it.

Yeah, it's good.

Okay, so you just wait over there.

Okay, I might be a minute.

Stay out of trouble, all right?

All employees will be seen.

Good luck.

Line up in an orderly fashion.

Next.

Full name and occupation, please.

Marie Raines Carradine, ma'am. Farming.

It's about my travel papers.

I met my quota, and I should be free to go now.

Right?

Go where?

Yvaga.

It's an independent system, but it's fully terraformed.

You can actually see the sun out there.

Where are your parents?

Uh, they died three cycles ago.

Lung disease, from the mines.

It's just me and my brother now.

They sell us hope

to keep us slaves.

They sell us hope to keep us slaves. Wake up now.

I'm sorry, but you're not eligible

for contract release yet.

Due to a shortage of workers,

you're being transferred to the mines.

Wait, what?

No, no, no, I reached the required hours.

You have to let me go.

Unfortunately, quotas have been raised to 24,000 hours,

so you'll be released from contract

in another five to six years.

Thank you, and remember the company is really grateful

for your ongoing service.

- Rain! - Hey!

Hey, stop!

Get off him! You bastards!

I got you, I got you.

Oh, shit, you're bleeding.

Okay.

You're okay.

I'm resetting you.

I got you.

It's okay.

I shouldn't have left you alone.

They sell us hope

to keep us slaves.

Wake up now. They own you.

Hi, Rain.

Look, I'm sorry. I know I've been calling you all day,

but, look, something's come up,

and I think you should know about it.

So, come by the trailers and bring Andy.

Hey.

Oh, for...

Game over, man.

Sup, Rain? Long time no see.

I told you she'd show up.

You owe me five bucks.

Andy!

Why'd the blind miner fall down the well?

Why?

'Cause he couldn't see that well.

Please don't encourage him.

All right, go inside. I'll be there in a second.

- Kay. - Rain.

- Hi. - Hi!

Hi.

I missed you.

And I know my brother missed you, too.

I'm really glad you came.

I heard about your dad.

I'm really sorry.

Well, between the hailstorms

and the new diseases every cycle...

Yeah, everybody's dying, right?

So, should we show her?

Show me what?

Okay, so, last night,

we're loading up the last Tesotek,

we're about 200 miles above the ground,

and then all of a sudden...

The hauler picks up this beacon.

So Navarro tracks it, and it turns out

there's this big Wey-Yu ship

drifting right above our heads.

Drifting?

Decommissioned. Abandoned.

Some old relic. It's probably damaged or obsolete.

Like that guy over there.

Bjorn.

Okay, just tell her.

Why are we all sitting around here

waiting for travel permits that the company

are never gonna give to us?

'Cause that hauler has enough power in it

to get us to Yvaga.

Because it takes nine years to get to Yvaga

and you can't make that trip without cryo-sleep.

Decommissioned ships still carry

tons of functional equipment.

And the hyperlink shows

that ship still has a few pods left.

You want to break into a Weyland-Yutani ship

and steal highly regulated equipment?

Before someone else does.

You guys are insane.

- Well, of course we are. - No. No, we're not.

- This is... - That's what I said.

Are you gonna help us?

Sorry, what do you need me for?

Andy.

- We need to use Andy. - Andy?

Mm-hmm.

He's a Weyland-Yutani synthetic. He speaks Mother.

He can access a terminal on the ship

to get us in and out without a fuss.

It's the only way to get in.

Okay, but what if we get caught?

It'll ruin our chances of ever getting a travel permit.

Right, Rain's not comin'.

Uh, how about you let us take Andy then?

I'm not sending my brother up there alone.

He's not your brother though, is he?

- Bjorn, shut the fuck up. - It's true, though, isn't it?

He's not your brother. It's just Wey-Yu damaged goods

that your dad found in the trash.

And that's all he is, Rain. So just wake up.

Let's go.

- Rain? - What?

- I didn't say anything. - Rain, wait.

I'm sorry. Listen, I know my cousin

can be a dick sometimes, all right?

But he is right about something.

You need to wake up.

Because this company,

they're not gonna give us anything.

You know that as well as I do. We have to take it.

Rain, I just...

I don't want to end up like our parents.

Do you?

Is it as easy as you're making it sound, this plan of yours?

You won't even have to get out of the Corbelan.

That much I can promise you, okay?

Come on. What do you say?

Bjorn, hurry up, let's go.

All right, I'm starting her up. Batteries on.

Lovely.

Could I get hydro, please?

Comm panel.

Ground spoilers.

They are armed.

First time in space, huh?
