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
thinkin' about a blood serum test.
[Garry] 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 goin' through '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.
