Windows, you and Palmer
tie everybody down real tight.
- What for ?
- For your health.
Let's rush him !
He's not gonna blow us all up !
No, no, wait a minute.
Wait a minute.
Let's do what Mac says.
l mean, he wasted Norris
pretty quick, didn't he ?
That's close enough, Clark.
- He ain't tyin'me up.
- Then l'll have to kill you.
Then kill me.
l mean it.
l guess you do.
- This is bullshit, Mac !
- Finish it, Palmer.
They're dead, Mac !
- Windows ?
- Yo ?
You tie up Palmer over here.
of everybody's blood.
'Cause we're gonna find out
who's the thing.
Watching Norris in there
gave me the idea that...
maybe every part of him
was a whole.
Every little piece
was an individual animal...
with a built-in desire
to protect its own life.
You see, when a man bleeds,
it's just tissue.
But blood from one of you things
won't obey when it's attacked.
lt'll try and survive;
crawl away
from a hot needle, say.
Now you.
That's good.
All right, move back.
Over there.
l guess you're okay.
All right, put that on
and watch them.
Now l'll show you
what l already know.
That's a crock of sh*t.
Let's try the Doc and Clark.
Now Clark.
Then Clark was human, huh ?
Which makes you
a murderer, don't it ?
Palmer now.
This is pure nonsense.
lt doesn't prove a thing.
l thought you'd
feel that way, Garry.
You were the only one that
could have got to that blood.
We'll do you last.
Get away from me !
MacReady, burn it!
What is it ?
Get him, get him ! Just shoot!
MacReady, shoot!
- Get it, Mac !
- Get it!
Windows ! Blast him !
Get me outta here !
Windows !
Damn ! Get me outta here !
MacReady!
- Get in here !
- Quick, come on ! Hurry up !
lt's coming back ! Burn it!
Burn it, for God's sake !
- Burn it! Burn it!
- Hurry up, MacReady!
Let's do it.
Get me outta here ! Cut me loose !
Cut me the hell--
Come on, get me outta here !
Come on, get me outta here !
Cut me loose, damn it!
l know you gentlemen
have been through a lot,
but when you find the time,
l'd rather not spend
the rest of this winter...
tied to this f***ing couch !
Childs...
we're goin'out
to give Blair the test.
lf he tries to make it back
and we're not with him,
burn him.
Mac, the door is open.
How'd he get out ?
The door was bolted from the outside.
Blair ?
Hey, Blair! You down there ?
We got something for ya !
Blair's been busy
out here all by himself.
- What is it ?
- Something he's been making.
lt's a ship of some kind.
He stole the parts
from the helicopter.
Smart s.o.b. He put it together
piece by piece.
Where was he
tryin'to go ?
Anyplace but here.
Hey, you guys, come here.
Come here.
the main entrance of the camp.
- l don't know.
Got a flare ?
He got back inside
and blew the generator.
ln six hours,
it'll be 100 below in here.
Well, that's suicide !
Not for that thing.
lt's got no way outta here.
lt just wants to go to sleep
until the rescue team finds it.
What can we do ?
What can we do ?
Whether we make it or not,
we can't let that thing freeze again.
Maybe we'll just warm things up
We're not gettin'
outta here alive...
but neither
is that thing.
Generator room.
Generator's gone.
Any way we can fix it ?
lt's gone, MacReady.
All right. We gotta bring this
whole place right down into the ice.
Garry, plant yours
in the old storage room.
Nails, down by the generator.
Oh, God.
How's it comin'in there ?
l said, ''How's it--''
Yeah, f*** you too !
You the only one who made it ?
Not the only one.
Where were you, Childs ?
Thought l saw Blair.
l went out after him...
and got lost in the storm.
Fires got the temperature up
all over the camp.
Won't last long though.
Neither will we.
How will we make it ?
Maybe we shouldn't.
lf we've got any surprises
for each other,
l don't think we're in much shape
Well... what do we do ?
Why don't we just...
wait here
for a little while,
see what happens.
Yeah.
