The Thing Edit

A little test.

A lot of damage to their own before they got to us.

A normal set of internal organs.

A tad?

Absorb them,

All right, all right, we got no choice now!

All right, Doc, Garry and Clark, move over there away from the others.

All right, go!

All right, move back, over there.

All right, step back.

All right, we gotta find him.

All right.

All right.

All right. Put that on and watch them.

All we can do now is hole up 'til spring,

Alright, cut the bullshit!

An hour there, an hour back.

And Doc thought of the test.

And everybody watch whoever you're with... real close.

And he's killed the rest of the dogs.

And I got the only key.

And I suggest we only eat out of cans.

And I think that Dawn Screen here has got the one that's trading the most.

And if there was, I'm all better now. I'd like to come back inside.

And if you were all these things, then you'd just attack me right now.

And in the process shape its own cells to imitate them.

And it imitates 'em perfectly.

And it's gonna get a hell of a lot worse

And now the radio's gone.

And then it's won.

And this thing... [ sighs ]

And watch him close. Do you hear me?

And we're all very tired.

And we're not with him... burn him.

And Windows, you and Palmer tie everybody down real tight.

And you want me to reach somebody!

Any of them move, you fry 'em.

Any one of us could've gotten to him.

Any place but here.

Any way we can fix it?

Anybody see Fuchs?

Anybody there?

Anybody touches me... and we go.

Anyone messes with me and the whole camp goes.

Are you saying to me the dog wasn't put in the kennel until last night?

Back off. Way off.

Be there in a minute, Doc.

Because it's so close.

Been tossin' his dirty drawers in the kitchen trash can, huh?

Before it gets any better.

Bennings was right there, Mac.

Bennings, go get Childs.

Blair, have you seen Fuchs?

Blair?

Blair?

Bullshit, bwana.

Buried in the ice, and they chopped it out.

Burn it.

But get the rest of his notebooks. Start goin' through 'em.

But I give you my word I did not go near that blood.

But I guess you'll all feel a little easier if...

But it is a short haul.

But it's vulnerable out in the open.

But it's weird and pissed off, whatever it is.

But neither is that thing.

But when you find the time,

But where is it? Look at this.

By spring it could be all of us.

Cabin fever. Who knows?

Can you come get your stuff?

Can't burn the find of the century.

Can't condone it much myself,

Checkmate. Checkmate. [ beeps ]

Childs, go see if he got to the tractor.

Childs, it happens all the time, man.

Childs, Mac wants the flamethrower!

Childs, what if we're wrong about him?

Childs, what's he doin'?

Childs. Childs. Chariots Of The Gods, man.

Christ.

Circling the camp.

Clark, will you put this mutt with the others where he belongs?

Close that door.

Come on, Blair.

Come on, Childs, burn me.

Come on, Doc.

Come on, get me outta here!

Come on, let's rush him! He's not gonna blow us all up!

Come on, man, I mean it!

Come on, man, you don't wanna hurt anybody.

Come on, now, MacReady.

Copper's the only one who's got any business with it.

Could anybody have gotten it from you, Doc?

Could be important work. I wanna take it back with us.

Could mix it with uncontaminated blood.

Crawl away from a hot needle the same.

Cut me loose, damn it!

Cut me the hell... Come on, get me outta here!

Damn it, Childs, torch it!

Damn it! He's got the keys!

Did it ever occur to the jury that anybody could've gotten

Did you kill it?

Did you notice anything strange about the dog, anything at all?

Do you believe any of this voodoo bullshit, Blair?

Do you think that thing wanted to be an animal?

Doc says we gotta lock him up. Stash him in here and lock him up.

Don't argue with him.

Easy, easy, easy. Yes.

Easy, easy.

Easy, easy. Good.

Easy.

Every little piece was an individual animal...

Everyone else is in the rec room.

Excuse me. Okay.

Finish imitating these dogs.

Finish what?

Fire's got the temperature up all over the camp.

First goddamn week of winter.

Five minutes is enough to put a man over down here.

Flare. Maybe he tried to burn it.

Forget it, Palmer.

From now on I want my kitchen clean, germfree.

From now on nobody gets outta my sight.

From way down around here for a long time.

Fuchs, you start working on a new test.

Garry, plant yours in the old storage room.

Garry, wait a minute, wait a minute.

Geez. This is bullshit, Mac!

Generator room.

Get 'em from Garry. I wanna get some stuff outta here.

Get a hold of anybody. We gotta report this mess.

Get back! Stay back!

Get him away from me! MacReady, burn it!

Get him in here. And bring the others.

Get me outta here!

Get your ass over here!

Gets thrown out or crawls out, and it ends up freezing in the ice.

Go ahead.

Go ahead. What are you waiting for?

Go get the doc.

Good shot, MacReady.

Got a flare?

Government knows all about it. Right, Mac?

Great! Now what are we gonna do?

Great.

Guess not.

Guys as crazy as that could have done

Half a mile due east.

He been the way he is since the first day.

He got back inside and blew the generator.

He got most of the chopper and the tractor,

He knows what he's doin'.

He smashed up some of the chopper pretty good.

He stole the parts from the helicopter.

He was close to that dog.

He was just wandering around camp all day.

He's coming back! Burn it! Burn it, for God's sake!

He's had plenty of time.

He's locked himself in his room and he won't answer the door.

He's my friend.

He's the only one who knows what this organism is capable of.

He's too far gone, Fuchs.

Heart, lungs,

Help me find a shovel, Doc.

Here. This is it.

Hey, Blair.

Hey, Palmer, I told you to shut your mouth!

Hey, Sweden!

Hey, thanks for thinking about it though.

Hey, wait a minute. Wait a minute, man.

Hey! All of you, come here!

Hold it!

Holy shit.

How do we know?

How long have they been out there?

How long were you alone with that dog?

How long've they been stationed there?

How many in their party?

How much more of this crap is there?

How will we make it?

How would you know if it was really me?

How you doin', old boy?

How'd he get out?

How's it comin' in there?

I ain't goin' with him. I'll go with Childs.

I ain't goin' with Windows.

I can't find Blair.

I cut him loose off the line up by his shack.

I cut him loose.

I don't know about Copper,

I don't know what the hell's in there,

I don't know what you're saying.

I don't know who to trust.

I don't know.

I don't know. An hour. Hour and a half, maybe.

I don't know. I wasn't there.

I don't know. It's probably nothin'.

I don't see how. As soon as I'm finished, I return it right away.

I don't think we're in much shape to do anything about it.

I don't wanna stay out here any more. I wanna come back inside.

I don't want him in my shack. We'll lock him in the toolshed.

I doubt if anybody's talked to anybody on this entire continent,

I guess I'm the only one.

I guess you do.

I guess you're okay.

I have to talk to you. I'm tired of talkin', Fuchs.

I hear funny things out here.

I just cannot believe any of this voodoo bullshit.

I just wanna get up to my shack and get drunk.

I know how this one ends.

I know I'm human.

I know you gentlemen have been through a lot,

I made sure I got ahead of him on the towline on the way back.

I mean it.

I mean, he could be one of those Things.

I mean, they taught the Incas everything they know.

I mean, uh, he wasted Norris pretty quick, didn't he?

I might just have to put an end to you on general principles, Nauls.

I said watch Clark.

I said, how's it...

I suppose if there's a reaction, we'd know who isn't human.

I suppose somebody could have lifted it off me...

I swear to God it had a hold of him.

I think I saw Childs outside the main entrance of the camp.

I thought you'd feel that way, Garry.

I wanna come back inside, don't you understand?

I was wonderin' when El Capitan...

I went out after him and got lost in the storm.

I went to you first. You brought your friend Anna.

I'd rather not spend the rest of this winter tied to this fucking couch!

I'd say... I'd say the ice it's buried in is 100,000 years old, at least.

I'll check out the last few rooms.

I'll get Garry. We'll meet in Blair's room.

I'll kill you.

I'll put this right through your head.

I'm a real light sleeper, Childs.

I'm all right. I'm much better... and I won't harm anybody.

I'm gonna hide this tape when I'm finished.

I'm just lettin' you know we're takin' a chance.

I'm not gonna harm anybody. There's nothing wrong with me.

I'm sorry, fellas, but I'm not up to it.

I'm trying to get some sleep. I was shot today.

I've been thinkin' about a blood serum test.

I've known him for ten years.

If a small particle of this thing is enough

If anyone tries to wake me... Uh uh.

If he tries to make it back here

If I was an imitation... a perfect imitation...

If it had had more time to finish

If it takes us over,

If none of us make it at least there'll be some kind of record.

If somebody else was in charge.

If we've got any surprises for each other...

If you're worried about me...

In a little place northeast of their camp about five or six miles.

In six hours it'll be a hundred below in here.

In the Thiokol. Please, Mac.

In this weather without a guide line.

Intestines.

Is an organism that imitates other life forms,

Is it Fuchs?

Is that a man in there or something?

Is there some kind of test, Doc?

It ain't Fuchs.

It could imitate everything on the face of the earth...

It could've been anytime, anywhere.

It gets thawed out, wakes up,

It isn't Bennings.

It just wants to go to sleep in the cold until the rescue team finds it.

It says here only eight weeks.

It should be somebody a little more even tempered, Childs.

It wants to freeze now. It's got no way outta here.

It wants to hide inside an imitation.

It would have looked and sounded and acted just like Bennings.

It'll fight if it has to.

It'll try and survive.

It's a crock of shit.

It's a ship of some kind.

It's Bennings!

It's cool, MacReady. It's cool, man, come on.

It's gettin' cold in here, Fuchs, and I haven't slept in days.

It's gone, MacReady.

It's imitation.

It's just tissue.

It's Norwegian.

It's nothin' at all.

It's on the floor.

It's up to you, Mac. If you don't wanna fly, we don't fly.

Jesus Christ.

Jesus, how long do you figure this has been in the ice?

Just leave it here. We're gonna talk.

Just take it easy. Put the gun down.

Just wait.

Keep an eye on Clark.

Kidneys, liver.

Let me at him.

Let me do it. You're gonna break the needle in my arm.

Let's do it.

Let's go, Bennings. I gotta get some sleep.

Let's open it now.

Let's try the doc and Clark.

Let's... Let's do what Mac says.

Lights were out in there for an hour.

Loaded with kerosene. I count 15 cans.

Look, I haven't been able to reach shit in two weeks.

Look. It was stashed in his oil furnace.

Look. Son of a bitch. Oh.

Mac, I'm not a prisoner!

Mac, we need Blair's help.

Mac!

Mac's really taking it up, huh?

MacReady, get in here! Come on, hurry up!

MacReady! Mac, get your gear on!

Maybe every part of him was a whole.

Maybe he burned himself before it could get to him.

Maybe they found a fossil, the remains of some animal

Maybe we shouldn't.

Maybe we'll just warm things up a little around here.

Maybe we're at war with Norway.

Mmm, stir crazy.

Most of you don't know what's goin' on around here.

My God, what was happening to him?

My God. What the hell happened here?

My move: Knight to rook three. [ beeps ]

My move: Rook to knight six.

Nah, you don't understand!

Nauls, down by the generator.

Nauls, why don't you come with me and we'll look outside.

Nauls, will you turn that crap down?

Neither will we.

No dogs make it a thousand miles through the cold.

No drugs, no alcohol, nothing.

No, Doc, he's doing a real fine job.

No, no, wait a minute. Wait a minute.

No, the lock is undamaged.

No, we don't wait.

No.

Nobody gets in and outta here. Nobody.

Nobody left to kill it.

Nobody trusts anybody now.

Nobody trusts anybody now.

Nobody! I just give it to Copper whenever he needs it.

Nobody. Get a hold of somebody.

Nobody...

Norris, get a table from the lab.

Norris, I can't see anybody objecting to you.

Norris, you and Childs shoot 'em up with morphine.

Norwegians.

Not for that thing.

Not the only one.

Nothin' wrong with this Norwegian, physiologically anyway.

Nothing human could've made it back here

Now Clark.

Now how's this motherfucker wake up after thousands of years in the ice?

Now I'll show you what I already know.

Now it wants life forms on Earth. "

Now wait a minute, Garry!

Now you.

Now you've got my promise.

Now, Childs, go around to the map room door. Talk to him.

Oh my God.

Oh, about nine hours, I'd say.

Oh, come on!

Oh, come on. Four stitches. Barely grazed ya.

Oh!

Okay.

One or two ideas.

One other thing: I think it rips through your clothes

Or a dead whatever the hell you are!

Out of the lab into the storeroom.

Palmer now.

Palmer, you and Windows check the inside.

Poor baby, you're startin' to lose it, aren't you?

Pretty nasty out, Mac. Thirty five knots.

Probably not in the best of moods.

Put it down. Garry, you don't want to hurt anybody.

Put some of that gel on those paddles!

Put those torches on the floor and back off.

Quit that bickerin' over there!

Quit the griping, MacReady.

R.J. MacReady, helicopter pilot, U.S. Outpost number 31.

Read, bwana. Will do.

Right now that may be one or two of us.

Right over here. Right over...

Right, you said guys were missing. And Windows, where were you?

Right.

Right. On the floor.

Said "Norge" or something on the side.

Screw it. I'm gonna go up anyway.

See what happens.

Seem to be normal.

Seems like they were spendin' a lot of their time

Shit, Doc, I'll give you the lift. No problem.

Shooting at a dog, at us?

So how do we know who's human?

So I took one of his notebooks from the lab.

So some of you are still human.

Some of my clothes and stuck 'em up the furnace?

Somebody blew out a fuse in the lab.

Somebody in this camp ain't what he appears to be.

Somebody opened it, closed it, and then locked it.

Sorry, Mac. You have to move your stuff ou...

Storm's been hitting us hard now for 48 hours.

Strange? No.

Tell you what. Why don't you just trust in the Lord?

That key ring of yours is always hooked to your belt.

That thing wanted to be us.

That was one of those things out there trying to imitate him, Garry.

That would've been the perfect time.

That's bullshit, Childs. He's got to know damn well I cut it!

That's close enough, Clark.

That's gonna win somebody the Nobel Prize.

That's good.

The blood from one of you things won't obey when it's attacked.

The chameleon strikes in the dark. "

The door was bolted from the outside.

The generator's gone.

The Norwegians get a hold of this, and they dig it up out of the ice.

The place where they were spendin' most of their time.

The smart S.O.B. put it together piece by piece.

The supply window!

Then Clark was human, huh?

Then everyone should prepare their own meals.

Then it has no more enemies,

Then kill me.

There's a storm hitting us in six hours.

There's nothing else I can do.

There's something wrong with Blair.

They could be anybody's.

They practically own South America.

They started with ten. There'd be eight others left.

They're fallin' outta the skies like flies.

They're not dead yet. "

They're not Swedish, Mac. They're Norwegian.

This is pure nonsense. It doesn't prove a thing.

This is real thin. It'll clear as soon as you get up.

This thing doesn't want to show itself.

This, for instance... That's not dog.

Those clouds keep movin' over the sun, we're gonna get a whiteout.

Thought I saw Blair.

Thousands of years ago it crashes,

Through the door.

Tie 'em down in the rec room and watch 'em.

To take over an entire organism,

Trust's a tough thing to come by these days.

U.S. Number 31, calling McMurdo.

U.S. Number 31, calling McMurdo. Come in. Over.

Urgent. Come in. Over.

Wait a minute, wait a minute. Was this broken into?

Wait for the rescue team.

Wait here for a little while?

Wait, Mac, wait a minute. "It needs to be alone

Was gonna get a chance to use his popgun.

Watch it.

Watchin' Norris in there gave me the idea that...

We all meet back here in 20 minutes regardless.

We better start closing off the outside doors.

We can't learn anything from this.

We cleaned out the storehouse, the lab, there is nothin' left.

We could take a sample of each person's blood,

We found this.

We get caught in that, you can scratch one doctor and one pilot.

We got to it before it had time to finish.

We gotta bring this whole place right down into the ice.

We ought to just burn these things.

We still have nothing to go on.

We'll do you last.

We'll see.

We're a thousand miles from nowhere, man,

We're goin' out to give Blair the test.

We're gonna draw a little bit of everybody's blood...

We're gonna find out who's who.

We're not gettin' outta here alive.

We're on fire, MacReady! We're on fire! Get back! Just wait!

We've gotta burn the rest of 'em.

Well then, we're wrong! [ glass breaking ]

Well, I'm damn well sure some of you do.

Well, it's gettin' late. Let's hurry it up.

Well, stick to it, Windows. Stick to it.

Well, that's not long enough for guys to go bonkers.

Well, that's suicide!

Well, the backscatter effect's been bringin' things up...

Well, what we got here is what appears to be, anyway,

Well, who else could've used that key?

Well, yeah, possibly.

Well, you go on. I'll be in in a minute.

Well... what do we do?

Were about to have yourselves a little lynching party, huh?

What about your shack, MacReady?

What are you doin', Doc?

What can we do? What can we do?

What do you got in mind, MacReady?

What is this? What's goin' on?

What the hell you lookin' at me like that for?

What was the dog doin' in the rec room?

What were they doin' flyin' that low,

What?

Whatever it is, they burned it up in a hurry.

Whatever it was it was bigger than that block of ice you found.

When it takes you over.

When this Thing attacked our dogs it tried to digest 'em,

When we were up checkin' around his place I found this.

Where was he tryin' to go?

Where were you, Childs?

Where's Blair?

Where's everybody else?

Where's MacReady?

Where's the rest?

Whether we make it or not, we can't let that thing freeze again.

Which makes you a murderer, don't it?

Which one of you disrespectful men

Who is he?

Why am I in here? For your own protection, Blair.

Why are you so damned anxious to let him in here?

Why don't we just...

Why would it burn him?

Wind must've dislodged it but I don't think he saw me find it.

Windows found some shredded long johns but the name tag was missing.

Windows is in the radio room still trying to get through.

Windows, blast him!

Windows, wheel that defibrillator over here.

Windows, you come with us. Norris, you stay here.

Windows!

Windows! Windows, get in here!

Windows. Wait a minute.

Winds are gonna let up a tad next couple of hours.

With a built in desire to protect its own life.

Won't last long, though.

Yeah, fuck you too!

Yeah, okay.

Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah, man, just relax.

Yeah. Yeah.

Yes, Garry, they dig it up. They cart it back.

You buy any of this, Blair?

You cheatin' bitch.

You come up with anything yet?

You cut loose on the sirens.

You go inside. Tell the others we found Fuchs.

You gonna let him give the orders?

You gotta be fuckin' kidding.

You gotta let me come back inside.

You guys gonna listen to Garry?

You guys think I'm crazy. Well, that's fine.

You hear anything, anything at all,

You may as well consult her one more time.

You really wanna save those crazy Swedes, huh?

You see, when a man bleeds...

You sure that's all of'em?

You the only one who made it?

You think he's changed into one of those things?

You tie up Palmer over here.

You were the only one that could've got to that blood.

You, uh, got the keys?

You're a dead man, MacReady!

You're gonna have to read the map, 'cause I'm gonna be busy.

You've been consulting Anna all through the show anyhow.

You've been in here on several occasions.

Your move: King to rook one. [ beeps ]

40, 45 minutes.

[ all yelling ] What is it?

[ Childs ]: Cut him loose? Yeah.

[ groans ] Clear! Clear.

[ MacReady ]: Finish it, Palmer. They're dead, Mac!

[ Palmer ]: Damn straight. I mean, look at Palmer.

[ screaming ] [ Garry ]: Come on!

[ sizzles ] [ sighs ]

Accusing everybody... Stop it! It ain't worth it!

All right, bring him up. Yeah.

And how could it look like a dog? I don't know how.

and it's not gonna stop! Okay, Blair.

And so are the choppers. We're completely cut off.

And those Norwegians blew it up? Yeah.

Are you? Yeah. What's going on there?

Bullshit! Why would he come in here...

Clark. Yeah?

Come on, come on. Nobody!

Come on. MacReady, I know Bennings.

Did you reach anybody yet? Reach anybody?

Don't! No! Get away! Get back! Get back!

George, are you okay? Yeah, yeah, I'm okay.

Great. Who's got access to it?

Have you come across Fuchs? It ain't Fuchs.

He ain't tyin' me up. Then I'll have to kill you, Childs.

He's got a gun. Get back. Anybody interferes, I'll kill 'em.

He's not breathin'! Go untie the doc.

Hey, fuck you, Palmer! I ain't goin' with you!

Hey, look, Childs, come on. When the lights went out.

Hey, Palmer, what is this? I don't know.

I don't know. What?

I need Doc's help. Yeah, you don't wanna drug me.

I'll take it. Like hell you will.

In this weather? Bennings?

Let's open it. Hell no!

Mac wants the what? That's what he said.

Mac, it may not clear up for a week. Yeah.

Mac, it's important. What is it?

MacReady? He's one of 'em.

Maybe our chance to blow it away. No, just let him freeze to death.

Nothing we can do about that. Oh, yes there is. I wanna go up.

Now move! Damn it.

Outside. It's 40 below outside.

Portable video unit. Anything? It's all in Norwegian.

So is Blair cracking up or what? Damn it, MacReady.

Stay back. Hey, Mac, what is it?

Up to my shack. What the hell for?

Watch Clark. What?

We'll be in as soon as we can. Where are we going?

We're the closest ones to 'em. It's all right by me, Doc.

We've got whole blood in storage. Start working on it.

What for? For your health.

What is it? Something he's been making.

What? Somebody got to the blood.

What's he doin' outside? I don't know.

When do you think it got to him? I don't know.

Where's Clark? Right here.

Which way, Doc? Southwest.

Windows! Windows!

Windows? Yo?

Would that test have worked, Doc? Oh, I think so, yes.

Yeah? Listen.

You asshole. You'd have done the same thing.

'Cause it's different than us, see?

'Cause it's from outer space. What do you want from me? Ask him.

'cause we're gonna find out who's the Thing.

'Cause when I left yesterday, I turned the lights off.

"and in close proximity with a life form to be absorbed.

"Could change into any one of them at any time.

"It could have imitated a million life forms on a million planets.

"There is still cellular activity in these burned remains.
