Peter Weyland was on the ship the entire time, wanting to find the engineers as an answer to immortality as he is dying. Its also revealed that Vickers is his daughter as they wanted to find out why the engineers created them. Weyland is killed by the engineer by ripping David's head off and smacking Weyland across the face with it, also killing the bodyguards by throwing them across the room with immense power. The Engineer then controls the ship on his way to earth to destroy humanity with the black goo earlier in the film.The Prometheus crashes into the engineer craft, killing Janek and the co-pilots, with Vickers making a narrow escape from the ship. The engineer ship comes plummeting back down to the surface. with Vickers and Shaw in close proximity of the ship, they run away as the ship begins to roll and fall. killing Vickers instantaneously. Shaw enters the medical bay which was ejected along with Vickers after take off. She finds the Squid-like alien which she "gave birth" to mid way through the film, which has also grown to a enormous size. She is briefly attacked by the engineer which survived the crash, and opens the med-bay door to the squid, which grabs the engineer, letting Shaw make a narrow escape from the medbay. David (who was decapitated earlier in the film) speaks to Shaw via com-link telling her to find him on the crashed ship to help her escape the planet. she agrees willingly, rappelling through a hole in the ship later on. A brief shot is then shown with another ship leaving the planet, implying her escape from the planet in the later years. Another shot is then shown of the engineer convulsing and being chestbursted by a prototype species of xenomorph, which screeches at the camera, leaving the film open for a sequel.

Factual error: The type of surgery shown made by the machine transversely cuts the rectus abdominis muscles. Besides not being a standard surgical incision in order to "remove a foreign body" as stated, it seriously damages important muscles of the abdominal wall making any immediate active mobilization of the trunk virtually impossible, even under strong analgesia.

Trivia: When David opens the green vial and puts a small bit of the alien matter on his finger, look closely at his fingerprint. The Weyland logo is etched into it.

Question: In the openings scene, the prehuman drinks a tar-like fluid (like the one poisoning Halloway later on), while looking at a spaceship hovering above. He then dies, falls into the river and disintegrates. I do not understand this scene, is he the last of the surviving prehumans committing suicide and the ship above is the others leaving the planet?

Answer: The giant ship has landed on Earth to drop off the Engineer so that he can terraform the planet and make it sustainable for life. He might drinks the black stuff to break down his own structure and spread life on Earth through his own DNA.
