kitchen clean,
all right ? Germ free !
Now, how's this motherfucker wake up
after thousands of years in the ice ?
- And how can it look like a dog ?
- l don't know how.
'Cause it's different
than us, see.
'Cause it's from outer space.
What do you want from me ? Ask him.
You buy any of this, Blair ?
Mac, we're movin'those things
out of the lab into the storeroom.
Can you come
get your stuff?
Be there in a minute, Doc.
Through the door.
Right over there.
Right over there.
Sorry, Mac. You have
to move your stuff--
Doc says we gotta stash 'em
in here and lock 'em up.
- l have to talk to you.
- l'm tired of talking, Fuchs.
l just want to get up
to my shack and get drunk.
- Mac, it's important.
- What is it ?
- Outside.
- lt's 40 below outside.
ln the Thiokol.
Please, Mac.
We ought to just burn these things.
Can't burn the find
of the century.
That's gonna win somebody
the Nobel Prize.
You got the keys ?
Get 'em from Garry.
l want to get some stuff out of here.
There's something wrong
with Blair.
He's locked in his room
and won't answer the door.
''lt could have imitated a million
life-forms on a million planets.
lt could change into any one
of them at any time.
- Now it wants life-forms on Earth--''
- lt's gettin'cold,
- and l haven't slept in two days.
- Wait a minute, Mac.
''lt needs to be alone and in close
proximity with the life-form to be absorbed.
- The chameleon strikes in the dark. ''
- ls Blair cracking up ?
Damn it, MacReady. ''There's still
cellular activity in these burned remains.
They're not dead yet. ''
Let's go, Bennings.
l gotta get some sleep.
Holy shit.
Go get the doc.
- l'll get Garry. We'll meet in Blair's room.
- All right.
lt's Bennings !
Bennings was right there,
Mac ! l swear it had ahold of him !
- Windows, get back ! Keep away from him !
- Don't touch him !
Get back !
Stay back !
lt isn't Bennings !
- My God! What was happening to him ?
- lf it had time to finish,
it would have looked and sounded
and acted just like Bennings !
- l don't know what you're saying.
- That was one of those things,
trying to imitate him, Garry.
- Come on.
- MacReady, l've known Bennings for ten years.
He's my friend.
We gotta burn
the rest of them.
All right, step back.
You sure that's
all of 'em ?
We cleaned out
the storehouse, the lab.
There is nothing left.
Where's Blair ?
l can't find Blair.
Where's everybody else ?
Windows is in the radio room
still trying to get through.
Everyone else is
in the rec room.
You go on.
l'll be in in a minute.
Blair ?
Blair ?
Don't come in here !
l got a gun ! l got an ax!
Don't, you son of a bitch !
Don't come in here ! You understand me ?
- He's got a gun, Mac !
- Anybody interferes, l'll kill 'im !
Jesus !
He smashed up some
of the chopper pretty good.
Childs, go see
if he got to the tractor.
Nobody gets in
and out of here ! Nobody!
You guys think l'm crazy!
Well, that's fine !
Most of ya don't know
what's going on around here !
But l'm damn well sure
some of you do !
Christ!
Garry, wait a minute !
Wait a minute !
All right, Childs,
go around to the map room door,
- talk to him.
- Okay.
Go on.
Norris, get a table from the lab.
Do you think that thing
wanted to be an animal?
No dogs make it a thousand
miles through the cold.
No, you don't understand!
That thing wanted to be us !
A cell gets out, it could imitate
everything on the face of the earth !
- And nothing could stop it!
- Okay, Blair.
Come on now, you don't want
to hurt anybody.
l'll kill you !
Good shot, MacReady.
Excuse me.
- All right, bring him up. Lift him up.
- Yeah.
Okay. Okay.
Come on, Blair.
We'll lock him
in the toolshed.
Why am l in here ?
For your own protection,
Blair... and ours.
How you doin' old boy ?
l don't know who to trust.
l know what you mean, Blair.
Trust is a tough thing
to come by these days.
Tell you what ? Why don't you just
trust in the Lord ?
