started with ten:
- There'd be eight others left:
- How do we know ?
Guys as crazy as that could have
done a lot of damage to their
own before they got to us:
- Nothing we can do:
- Oh, yes there is: l want to go up:
- ln this weather ?
- Bennings ?
- Winds are gonna let up a tad
next couple of hours.
- A tad ?
Can't condone it much myself,
but it is a short haul.
An hour there,
an hour back.
- Shit, Doc, l'll give you
the lift. No problem.
- Forget it, Palmer.
Thanks for thinkin'
about it though.
Loaded with kerosene.
l count 15 cans.
- MacReady!
- Mac, get your gear on.
- lt may not clear up for a week,
and we're the closest to 'em.
- lt's all right by me, Doc.
- l'm just letting you know
we're taking a chance.
- Quit griping, MacReady.
lf we get caught in a white-out, you can
scratch one doctor and one pilot.
This is real thin. lt'll clear
as soon as you get up.
lt's up to you, Mac.
lf you don't wanna fly,
we don't fly.
- You really wanna save
those crazy Swedes, huh ?
- Norwegians.
- Which way, Doc ?
- Southwest.
You have to read the map
'cause l'm gonna be busy.
Mac's really taking it up, huh ?
He knows what he's doing.
Nauls, will you turn that crap down ?
l'm trying to get some sleep.
l was shot today.
- Oui, Bwana. Will do.
- ? Very superstitious ?
? Writing's on the wall?
? Very superstitious ?
Anybody there ?
Hey, Sweden ?
They're not Swedish, Mac,
they're Norwegian.
Mac !
My God! What the hell
happened here ?
Come on, Doc.
Portable video unit.
- Anything ?
- lt's all in Norwegian.
- What are ya doin' Doc ?
- lt could be important work.
l wanna take it back with us.
lt's gettin'late.
Let's hurry it up.
l'll check out
the last few rooms.
Hey, Copper, come here !
Maybe they found a fossil, the remains
of some animal buried in the ice,
- and they chopped it out.
- But where is it ? Look at this.
What is that ?
ls that a man
in there or something ?
Whatever it is,
they burned it up in a hurry.
Help me find a shovel, Doc.
- We found this.
- Jesus Christ!
Blair, l'd like you
to start an autopsy right away.
- Did you reach anybody yet ?
- Reach anybody ?
We're a thousand miles
from nowhere, man,
and it's gonna get a hell of
a lot worse before it gets any better!
Well, stick to it,
Windows, stick to it.
Nothin' wrong with this Norwegian,
physiologically anyway.
- No drugs, no alcohol, nothin'.
- Hmm.
Well, what we got here
is what appears to be, anyway,
a normal set of internal organs.
Heart,
lungs, kidneys, liver,
intestines.
Seem to be normal.
...one, door number two
and door number three.
l think that Dawn Screen here
has got the most to trade in.
l went to you first.
You brought your friend, Anna.
You've been consulting Anna
all through the show.
- You may as well consult her
one more time.
- l know how this one ends.
Clark, will you put this mutt
with the others where it belongs ?
Yeah, okay.
Go ahead.
Go ahead.
What are you waiting for ?
l don't know
what the hell's in there.
- lt's weird and pissed off,
whatever it is.
- Bennings, go get Childs.
What is this ? What's goin'on ?
- Hey, Palmer, what is this ?
- l don't know.
Childs !
Mac wants the flamethrower!
- Mac wants the what ?
- That's what he said!
- Now, move !
- Damn it!
- Stand back.
- Mac, what is it ?
No ! No ! God!
- Don't! Don't! No !
- Get back ! Get back !
Get your ass over here ! Burn it!
Damn it, Childs,
torch it!
Oh, my God.
Oh ! Ohh !
Look. Son of a bitch.
What we're talking
about here is an organism...
that imitates other life-forms,
and it imitates them perfectly.
When this thing
attacked our dogs,
it tried to digest 'em,
absorb them.
And in the process shape
its own cells to imitate them.
This, for instance.
That's not dog.
lt's imitation.
We got to it before
it had time to finish.
Finish what ?
Finish imitating these dogs.
Easy. Easy. Good.
Easy. Easy.
- Clark ?
- Yeah ?
Did you
