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.
- l took one of his notebooks
from the lab. Listen.
- Yeah?
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!
He got most of the chopper
and the tractor, and he's
killed the rest of the dogs.
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.
- What about your shack, MacReady?
- l don't want him in my shack.
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?
Watch Clark.
What?
l said, Watch Clark.
And watch him close,
do you hear me?
Now the radio's gone.
- So are the choppers.
- We're completely cut off.
All we can do now is hole up 'til
spring and wait for the rescue team.
No, we don't wait. Somebody in
this camp ain't what he appears.
Right now that may be one or two of us.
By spring it could be all of us.
So how do we know
