'em.
[Unlatching Hook]
Garry!
Hey, you guys,
come here!
What?
Somebody got
to the blood.
What?
Where's Clark?
Right here.
Wait a minute.
Was this broken into?
The lock is undamaged.
Somebody opened it,
closed it, then locked it.
[Windows] Great.
Who's got access to it?
I guess I'm the only one.
And I got the only key.
Would that test
have worked, Doc?
I think so, yes.
[Norris]
Somebody else sure
as hell thought so.
Well, who else
could've used that key?
Nobody! I just give it
to Copper whenever he needs it.
Could anybody have
gotten it from you, Doc?
I don't see how.
As soon as I'm finished,
I return it right away.
Great.
[Fuchs] When was
the last time you used it?
[Doc] Day or so ago.
I suppose somebody could have
lifted it off me...
Oh, come on!
That key ring of yours
is always hooked to your belt.
[Screaming]
- Accusing everybody...
- [MacReady]
Stop it.! It ain't worth it.!
Copper's the only one
who's got any business with it.
[Copper] Wait a minute.!
You've been in here
on several occasions.
Doc thought of the test.
[Childs]
So what? Is that
supposed to clear him?
Windows!
Windows!
[Cocks Gun]
Put that down!
No.
I'll put this
right through your head.
[Panting]
You guys gonna listen
to Garry?
You gonna let him
give the orders?
He could be one of those Things.
Windows.
Wait a minute.
Just take it easy.
Put the gun down.
Put it down. You don't
want to hurt anybody.
Right.
[Garry]
On the floor.
[Lays Rifle Down]
It's on the floor.
I don't know about Copper,
but I give you my word,
I did not go near
that blood.
But I guess
you'll all feel
a little easier...
if somebody else
was in charge.
Norris, I can't see anybody
objecting to you.
I'm sorry, fellas,
but I'm not up to it.
I'll take it.
Like hell you will.
It should be somebody
a little more even-tempered,
Childs.
[Scoffs]
All right.
[Wind Gusting]
[Flame Bursting]
I know
I'm human.
And if you were all
these Things, then you'd just
attack me right now.
So some of you
are still human.
This Thing doesn't want
to show itself. It wants
to hide inside an imitation.
It'll fight
if it has to.
But it's vulnerable
out in the open.
If it takes us over,
then it has
no more enemies, :
Nobody left to kill it.
And then it's won.
There's a storm
hitting us in six hours.
We're gonna find out
who's who.
All right, Doc, Garry and Clark,
move over there away
from the others.
Norris, you and Childs shoot 'em
up with morphine. Tie 'em down
in the rec room and watch 'em.
Fuchs, you start working
on a new technique.
I need Doc's help.
You don't wanna drug me.
Mac, I'm not a prisoner!
Let-Let me do it.
You're gonna break
the needle in my arm.
No, Doc, he's doing
a real fine job.
[Groans]
I'm gonna hide this tape
when I'm finished.
If none of us make it,
at least there'll be
some kind of record.
Storm's been hitting us hard now
for 48 hours.
We still have nothing
to go on.
One other thing, I think
it rips through your clothes...
when it takes you over.
Windows found
some shredded long johns,
but the name tag was missing.
They could be anybody's.
Nobody...
Nobody trusts anybody now.
And we're all very tired.
[Tape Rewinding]
Nobody trusts anybody now.
There's nothing else
I can do.
Just wait.
R.J. MacReady,
helicopter pilot,
U.S. Outpost, number 31.
[Stops Tape Player]
You come up
with anything yet?
One or two ideas.
[Sighs]
But, MacReady,
I've been thinking.
If a small particle of this
Thing is enough to take over
an entire organism,
then everyone should prepare
their own meals.
And I suggest we only
eat out of cans.
All right.
[Kicks Object]
[Whooshing]
Who's that?
Anybody see Fuchs?
Somebody blew out
a fuse in the lab.
Lights were out for an hour.
Anyone of us
