I remembered a joke.

That's funny.

Seorg and his wife

were having sex one night,

when the young son

suddenly enters the room.

Wait a minute.

We are going in the right direction?

Olav!

What are we looking for?

Just move on.

A little more

and will be flagged on the site.

Okay.

Continue the joke.

The boy gets scared and leaves

running from the room, crying.

The mother says, "Honey, and now,

what should we do? "

You know women

The father says:

"Let me handle this."

Then he leaves

and goes to the child's bedroom

say he was joking.

He opens the door

Sven and the small

is lying on top of his grandmother.

Sex with her!

Most animation. Rises and falls,

up and down.

And then he looks

for the father and says:

What was Dad?

You play with mine,

and I with her, right?

Stop!

Is it here?

It's right here.

Do not move!

Turn on the light.

God!

THE THING:

Kate!

-Sh*t.

I'm sorry, Kate.

This guy said

you waited.

Sure. Thanks, Hanks.

Thank you.

You forgot that...?

No, no, I just

Yes.

He just wants...

In fact, this is it.

I'm Dr. Sander Halvorson.

Kate Lloyd.

Yes.

You know who I am?

I know.

Adam also told me

a little about yourself.

He said you specialized

in vertebrate paleontology.

Mostly, yes.

And of course,

already extracted specimens of ice.

I've worked in several

excavations in places icy.

Good

An old friend of mine,

a colleague of Oslo,

heads a research station

geological Antarctica.

his team found something

extraordinary.

Really?

What they found?

'll Fly there tomorrow

at night to examine the site.

And I need a paleontologist.

Doctor, I understand that

I need to know a little more

what prompts me to dig.

There is a structure.

A structure?

-Yes.

-In Antarctica?

And a specimen.

That's all I can tell you.

And I do not have time

to think about.

No, sorry. I need

an answer right now.

Well..

I agree.

Great.

Adam will give you the details

on our departure.

-I hope you in the car.

Yes, of course. Thank you.

So, Adam.

What the hell is it?

Officially, you know

as I did.

But I tell you one thing,

work with him for three years

and never seen him so excited as well.

She is American?

Look at this guy.

You know, this is

humanly impossible.

Could you

help me with something?

Only with old newspapers,

more than three weeks

and I'm a desperate man

for certain information.

Carter, do not do it

with yourself, man.

And what information would that be?

I wonder how

Cavaliers are going.

I do not follow football.

It is a basketball team.

They play basketball.

Not very well.

Are the Cavaliers face.

Sorry, could not help it.

-All right.

Just so you know,

whatever they are doing,

is best done

in a few days.

Is it? And why?

There's a storm approaching.

A pretty ugly.

Good morning, Griggs.

It is. He's right.

And the last place

where you want to be

is confined to a dozen

Norwegians.

Believe it.

Based on the view to my right.

Here is H3 Sea King / i

Thule calling. Are you receiving?

Hello, H3 Sea King.

Please, approach from the west. / I

airstrip released. / i

Bravo, returning. / i

We arrived, Griggs.

-Dr. Halvorson?

-Yes?

-Welcome to Thule.

Thank you.

The Edvard asked to go

to the site right now.

Lars will take them.

Hi.

Hi. Welcome.

-Please enter the Spryte / i.

Thank you.

Hello, sir.

Watch your step.

Brighten.

Edvard!

-You got it.

Sure I could.

This is Kate Lloyd.

Paleontologists-Columbia.

-Welcome.

Adam Finch

my research assistant.

-Welcome.

Hi.

Edvard, my friend.

This is part of our team.

Karl and Juliette. Both geologists.

Hi.

-Welcome.

Right.

Let me show you

that flew 16,000 km.

Holy sh*t!

We estimate here is

about 100,000 years ago.

Picking up a signal

being transmitted.

Some type of request

relief, perhaps.

Incredible.

We find that the signal

was initiated

when the survivor

left the ship.

Survivor?

My God.

You know how long it will take

to get him, Kate?

If we have the equipment

appropriate, shall we say

perhaps half of the day.

Good

I ask

how fragile is the ice?

There is an area of??rupture.

So the risk of cleft

is very small.

And the ice is very dense.

So, we believe

we can take it over.

Good

We estimate that has

-Something like...

-All right.

Make sure that all

keep the radio off.

I do not want

no information leak.

We have a crane

or something appropriate for this?

Yes It's already there.

Everything is prepared.

I am Peder, by the way.

-Peder.

-Nice to meet you.

You already took care of everything.

I do not need me.

What about him?

It seems a little disinterested.

That's Lars.

He does not understand English,

but it works like a bear.

And, as seen in images

the spacecraft dug a tunnel

Let me get this straight.

He hit a glacier.

And without enough information

he left the interior

welcoming the ship?

Maybe he was wounded and was

seeking a warmer place.

It seems that he did not.

What would be the weight

for shipping?

To cut it down to a size

we can carry,

we have to do it

from here to here.

Start with 4 inches.

I never believed in these things.

I always believed.

All-prepared?

-Almost there.

Good

Good

But before we do that,

I'll take a tissue sample.

Do you really think is a good idea?

Yes, I think.

The conditions are unpredictable

and we have no

appropriate equipment.

Sterilization is a problem.

Edvard, we would have by chance

a small diameter drill?

Up to 30 mm.

Very good.

Let's do

some holes in this area.

Kate.

Just a second.

In the future, do not contradict

in front of the team again.

-I just thought...

-You are not here to think.

Here's the thing to take

ice safely.

I hope we have

we understood.

Then, as experienced

this before?

No, not tasted.

-It tastes bad.

Gentlemen.

Ladies.

After an investigation

short but detailed

our visitor

I can tell,

no doubt

I've never seen anything

in any cellular level,

as we have

in that other room.

The impact of this discovery / i

will be felt

for thousands of years. / i

this point on, / i

the world as we know it

was changed forever. / i

You, my friends,

will all be immortalized

how people

who made this discovery.

Thank you.

Do you think we pay a bonus

by bringing an alien

instead of coal samples?

There's nothing better

this cough syrup?

Hey, Griggy.

-Yes.

You can go outside

the reserve captain's pick?

No problem.

I'm coming.

Where did I put this bottle?

Jesus Christ!

Go f*** yourself, man.

Son of a

It escaped!

What?

No joke, man!

The damn thing is alive!

I was there, man,

looking at the ice

and the thing jumped out!

We look

in groups of two or three.

Watch out.

Kate?

Can you help me here?

Come on.

Pull to the side.

His face is wrapped in

a kind of sac.

The fabric looks almost new.

What was it

doing with it?

It seems that

was absorbing it.

Some kind of digestion.

It's fascinating.

It's really fascinating.

-What is the problem? Okay?
