who's the Thing.
Watchin'Norris in there
gave me the idea that...
maybe every part ofhim
was a whole.
Every little piece
was an individual animal...
with a built-in desire
to protect its own life.
You see,
when a man bleeds,
it's just tissue.
The blood from one of you Things
won't obey when it's attacked.
It'll try and survive.
Crawl away from
a hot needle the same.
Now you.
That's good.
All right, move back,
over there.
I guess you're okay.
All right. Put that on
and watch them.
Now I'll show you
what I already know.
It's a crock of shit.
Let's try the doc
and Clark.
Now Clark.
Then Clark was human, huh?
Which makes you a murderer,
don't it?
Palmer now.
This is pure nonsense.
It doesn't prove a thing.
I thought you'd feel that way,
Garry. You were the only one
that could've got to that blood.
We'll do you last.
Get him away from me!
MacReady, burn it!
- 
- What is it?
- 
Come on.!
Get me outta here!
Windows, blast him!
Get me outta here.!
Get me outta here.!
Windows!
Get me outta here.!
MacReady, get in here.!
Come on, hurry up.!
He's coming back!
Burn it!
Burn it, for God's sake!
Hurry up, MacReady.!
Burn it.!
Let's do it.
Get me outta here.!
Cut me loose.!
Cut me the hell...
Come on, get me outta here.!
Come on, get me outta here.!
Cut me loose, damn it!
I know you gentlemen
have been through a lot,
but when you find the time,
I'd rather not spend
the rest of this winter
tied to this fuckin' couch!
Childs.
We're goin' out to give Blair
the test. If he tries
to make it back here...
and we're not with him...
burn him.
Mac, the door's open!
How'd he get out?
The door was bolted
from the outside.
Blair?
Hey, Blair, you down there?
We got somethin'for ya.!
Blair's been busy
out here all by himself.
What is it?
Something he's been making.
It's a ship
of some kind.
He stole the parts
from the helicopter.
The smart S.O.B. Put it
together piece by piece.
Where was he
tryin' to go?
Anyplace but here.
Hey, you guys,
come here. Come here.
I think I saw Childs
outside the main entrance
of the camp.
What's he doin' outside?
I don't know.
Got a flare?
He got back inside
and blew the generator.
In six hours, it'll be
a hundred below in here.
Well, that's suicide!
Not for that Thing.
It wants to freeze now.
It's got no way outta here.
It just wants to go
to sleep in the cold until
the rescue team finds it.
What can we do?
What can we do?
Whether we make it or not,
we can't let that Thing
freeze again.
Maybe we'll just warm things up
a little around here.
We're not gettin'
outta here alive.
But neither is that Thing.
Generator room.
The generator's gone.
Any way we can fix it?
It's gone, MacReady.
All right.
We gotta bring this whole place
right down into the ice.
Garry, plant yours
in the old storage room.
Nauls, down
by the generator.
Ah, God!
How's it comin' in there?
I said, how's it...
Yeah, fuck you too!
You the only one
who made it?
Not the only one.
Did you kill it?
Where were you, Childs?
Thought I saw Blair.
I went out after him
and got lost in the storm.
Fire's got the temperature
up all over the camp.
Won't last long, though.
Neither will we.
How will we make it?
Maybe we shouldn't.
If you're worried about me...
If we've got any surprises
for each other,
I don't think
we're in much shape to do
anything about it.
Well... what do we do?
Why don't we just...
wait here
for a little while?
See what happens.Your move: bishop to knight four.
My move: knight to rook three.
Poor baby, you're startin'
to lose it, aren't you?
Your move: king to rook one.
My move: rook to knight six.
Checkmate. Checkmate.
You cheatin' bitch.
