Okay, Blair.
Come on, man,
you don't wanna hurt anybody.
I'll kill you.
(GRUNTS)
(PUNCHES LANDING)
(BLAIR GRUNTING)
Good shot, MacReady.
- Excuse me.
- Okay.
- All right, bring him up.
- Yeah.
Come on, Blair.
What about your shack?
I don't want him in my shack.
We'll lock him in the toolshed.
- BLAIR: Why am I in here?
- For your own protection, Blair.
How you doing, old boy?
I don't know who to trust.
I know what you mean, Blair.
Trust's a tough thing to come by these days.
Tell you what.
Why don't you just trust in the Lord?
- Watch Clark.
- What?
I said, watch Clark.
And watch him close. Do you hear me?
And now the radio's gone.
- And so are the choppers.
- We're completely cut off.
All we can do now is hole up
'til spring, wait for the rescue team.
No, we don't wait.
Somebody in this camp
ain't what he appears to be.
Right now that may be one or two of us.
By spring, it could be all of us.
So how do we know who's human?
If I was an imitation, a perfect imitation,
how would you know if it was really me?
Is there some kind of test, Doc?
Well, yeah, possibly.
I've been thinking about a blood serum test.
CHILDS: What's that?
We could take a sample of each person's
blood, mix it with uncontaminated blood.
I suppose if there's a reaction,
we'd know who isn't human.
- We've got whole blood in storage.
- Start working on it.
Keep an eye on Clark.
He was close to that dog.
- Yeah.
- Yeah.
Mac, we need Blair's help.
He's the only one who knows this organism.
He's too far gone.
But get the rest of his notebooks.
Start going through them.
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.
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.
(BOTH YELLING)
Accusing everybody...
MacREADY: Stop it! It ain't worth it!
Copper's the only one
who's got any business with it.
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?
(BOTH YELLING)
Windows! Windows!
(PANTING)
Put that down!
- No.
- I'll put this right through your head.
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.
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.
MacREADY: All right.
MacREADY: 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
