The Thing Page #3

Where are they?

In that drawer.

This one?

Yes.

How many am I looking for?

Five.

There's three and four. You said there were five? Run!

Kate, what happened?

Karl. It got Karl. It got K... Ka...

Kate.

Burn it!

That's enough. Get back.

Burn in hell.

What the f*** is happening to us?

It attacks its prey, copies it perfectly...and then hides inside it, waiting.

Is it still among us?

It could be any of us.

We've gotta get out of here.

Yeah. Right now.

Then you could be getting in a vehicle with it. You'd be alone, vulnerable. That's exactly what it wants. Not to mention you'd be giving it a way out of here, a way to spread. It's like a virus. So what do we do with any virus?

Quarantine. We isolate it...and then we kill it.

Yeah.

We have to rely on science. Exposing our uncontaminated blood to the cells of the creature might create a reaction of some kind.

So we take blood samples from everybody. Yeah, and we test each one of them.

Yes. Adam and I can do that.

Okay. Lars and I will disable the vehicles. We have to trust in this plan. It's our only chance of making it through this.

Is that it?

Yes. Done.

No more vehicles?

Finished.

Okay. What?

Grenades.

Is everything all right?

Yes. Yes, everything's fine.

Good. We have to get inside, Lars.

Yes.

Kate, we should go. The storm is getting worse.

Who is that?

Hurry, they're coming!

The Americans.

It's impossible for a human to survive that crash. We should burn them. Right here, right now.

Peder! It could be murder.

It could be survival, Kate.

Yes, but we don't have to kill them. All right? We can just lock them up until Sander's test is ready. Please. Please.

So this is a good idea? Locking us up? You need our help.

Don't move, demons!

Okay. Okay. Kate. A bunch of scientists, they can't handle what we saw in that chopper.

For all we know, you could be one of those things. And it's pretty hard to believe you both walked away from that crash.

Yeah, I get that. I do, but...

We're preparing a test. And then we figure out who's who. It's all I can offer you right now.

Someone sabotaged it. There's nothing left. Nothing.

Now there's no test.

How could this happen?

Well, it was no accident. You. You were in there with it. You were the last one.

Why are you accusing me?

Why not? He's got something to hide.

What are you, an a**hole? I was the one working on the test. I left for two minutes!

You just don't want us to know the truth!

Bullshit!

Calm down! Calm down!

Don't tell me to f***ing calm down! This is a god damn f***ing nightmare!

There might be another way. I think there might be...another way to tell.

Peder, give me your flashlight. Now tell Lars to open his mouth.

Huh?

Tell him to open his mouth.

Open your mouth.

Good. Now Lars has fillings. So he's human. It can't imitate inorganic material. See?

Yes.

Okay. Good. Good. Okay. Open.

Come on. You're next. Open your mouth.

Okay. Good. Right now it's at least something. A way to eliminate some of us.

So I'm gonna get killed because I floss?

Nobody's getting killed.

Kate.

Open up, you weasel.

Kate, come on. Kate.

Just do it.

Kate.

Open. Just go stand over there.

You know as well as I do there are too many variables.

Open your mouth. Open your mouth!

They're porcelain.

Go stand by Adam. Anyone else with porcelain fillings? Or clean teeth?

It's bloody absurd.

Open your mouth, for God's sake!

This is wrong.

Jonas, you and Lars go out. Get Carter and Jameson and bring them in here. We'll check them too.

But why don't we just leave them where they are? They-They can't do anything.

We need to know.

Huh?

She wants us to get the Americans.

Let's go then.

She's clever.

Yes.

And now she's in charge.

Sh*t. They escaped.

Lars. Let's go back inside.

No. We have to find them.

Hey. Lars, careful. They aren't human! Lars! Lars! Lars! Lars! Lars? Wait! Lars!

Peder. Take it easy! The threat isn't in here. It's out there. The Americans are the real enemy.

He's right, Peder.

Whatever they're saying right now, it doesn't matter. You can't trust them.

Open!

Watch them.

Come on! Kate! Come on! Kate! Come on!

Where are they? Where are the rest?

They... They attacked him!

Who?

They got— They got Lars! Peder! They have Lars!

What happened?

Peder, keep them back.

Peder, they got Lars!

Stay on them, Peder!

What happened?

The enemy is outside!

We don't know if we can trust them! We don't know if we can trust them! Stay on them! Stay on them, Peder!

They're inside.

Where is Lars?

Hey!

Where is Lars?

Calm down!

Where is Lars?

I said calm down!

Where the f*** is Lars?

Drop it. Somebody tell him!

Peder. Peder, don't listen to him.

Put it down!

They killed Lars. Burn them! Burn them! Peder. Peder. Okay. I ju... I just want to check my friend. Okay?

It's okay.

He was gonna fire.

It's going to ignite. It's going to ignite!

It's gonna blow! Watch out!

Edvard? Edvard?

Pick him up.

Okay.

Get down. Get down.

You. Yeah, you! Help him! All right, show yourselves. Right f***ing now! Everybody in the rec room.

Pick him up. Come on.

Sit down.

Not all of us are human.

Just put him over there on the couch.

Get it off!

What the f*** is this sh*t, man?

Carter? Carter!

Carter, burn it, man!

There's something wrong with it! F***!

God damn it, Carter! Burn it!

Adam!

Sh*t! Carter! Table!

Carter!

Something's wrong with the pressure.

It's got air in the pipe!

Watch out!

Carter!

We gotta get the air out! Hey.

No! No! No! No! Oh, God! Burn it! Oh, f***. F***. No! No! No!

I'm with you, buddy.

Carter?

Hey. Are you okay?

Yeah. Are you?

Not yet I'm not.

We find it and we kill it.

I think that was Sander.

Yeah. Oh, sh*t!

Oh, God! No!

You see it?

Where'd it go?

There!

Get back! Don't. Don't touch it.

Did you hear that?

Yeah.
