In the dim bazaar of Prometheus, Apollo gets offered foodstuffs, cigarettes, medicines, and there are a bunch of people very cramped and close to the camera. Some of them recognize Apollo and scurry off, which is funny because of the rule we made up in college called The Porn Store Paradox, where if you were in the porn store, and somebody saw you there, it's automatically a stalemate, because so are they, so there's no reason to avoid going to the porn store. This rule also worked for Spice World and Love Actually. Apollo hears children crying, and investigates -- there's a locked room with a metal-grate window, and inside it are four little girls and one little boy, I think. One of the girls is, of course, Paya. She and Apollo touch fingers through the grating, and he tries to comfort her. She's pretty scared. He does a good job here of obviously covering his horror and rage with a nice hush-little-baby smile on his face. He tells her he'll be right back, leans against the wall and nearly boots, and then takes off. Kids, now. The Godwin's Law of proving Bad Guys are Bad.
