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.
So what? Is that
supposed to clear him?
Windows!
Windows!
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.
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.
All right.
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.
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.
Nobody trusts anybody now.
There's nothing else
I can do.
Just wait.
R.J. MacReady,
helicopter pilot,
U.S. Outpost, number 31.
You come up
with anything yet?
One or two ideas.
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.
Who's that?
Anybody see Fuchs?
Somebody blew out
a fuse in the lab.
Lights were out for an hour.
Anyone of us could've
gotten to him.
All right, we gotta find him.
Nauls, why don't you come
with me and we'll look outside.
Palmer, you and Windows
check the inside.
I ain't goin'
with Windows.
I ain't goin' with him.
I'll go with Childs.
Hey, fuck you, Palmer!
I ain't goin'
with you!
 Who says
I want you goin'with me?
Cut the bullshit!
Windows, you come with us.
Norris, you stay here.
Any of them move, you fry 'em.
You hear anything,
cut loose on the sirens.
We all meet back here
in 20 minutes regardless.
And everybody watch
whoever you're with...
real close.
Hey, Blair.
Blair, have you
seen Fuchs?
I don't wanna
stay out here anymore.
I wanna come back inside.
I hear funny things
out here.
Have you come across Fuchs?
It ain't Fuchs.
It ain't Fuchs.
I'm not gonna harm anybody.
There's nothing wrong with me.
And if there was,
I'm all better now.
I'd like to come back inside.
Now you've got
my promise.
We'll see.
Wait a minute, man.
I wanna come back inside,
don't you understand?
I'm all right.
I'm much better...
and I won't harm anybody.
You gotta let me
come back inside.
Hold it!
Is it
