00:02:21Hey, Jennifer, let's go back.
00:02:23Why?
00:02:24This floor is just scary.
00:02:26Because there's something funny.
00:02:28Oh, come on.
00:02:30Jeez.
00:02:51Hey, Jennifer, look at these.
00:03:10Some joker, snowshoes from some mail-order novelty house.
00:03:16Look I can hear you.
00:03:23We're going to have a novelty house.
00:03:32Hi.
00:03:37Hello, everyone. I'm Mrs. Carrie Rill, as you probably know, and I'd like to welcome
00:03:59all of you to the Rill Lodge and our 50th annual Winter Connell. All of us here have
00:04:05been looking forward to this big event for some time. Even the weather has blessed us
00:04:10with good snow and cold, sunny skies. I'm sure you'll agree that the events that we
00:04:17have lined up will make this our best Winter Carnival yet. Let me tell you a little about
00:04:23what we have planned. First of all, you may compete in as many of the events as you remind
00:04:29to. We've got cross-country skiing, snowmobiling, dog sled racing, and every variety of alpine
00:04:38skiing. Downhill, slalom, and freestyle skiing. It's what we used to call hot dogging. But
00:04:50you hot doggers will be judged on grace and originality, not on your audacity.
00:04:57there's Billy Joe. There's no queen. Me too!
00:05:04This is me, oh, hi. How are you? Hail to the queen!
00:05:12Hail to the queen!
00:05:19Charlie, Mr. Rillan? Can I help you, Buster? Come on, Charlie. No.
00:05:31Tony, could you come out here a second? Buster Smith wants to talk to you.
00:05:37Hi, Buster. What can I do for you? Mr. Rillan, can I talk to you a moment? In private?
00:05:44Sure.
00:05:50I am so pleased you remembered, Betty Joe, even though your mother's too young to remember,
00:05:55that I was the very first queen of our very first Winter Carnival. But I was only 16.
00:06:02That was, uh, 50 years ago. Charlie, be right back. Tony, this is a fine time to be going skiing.
00:06:11Hardly, Grandma. We have a little problem. The manager takes care of big problems, which we don't have at
00:06:17Real Lodge. No. No big problems here, Grandma. He thinks because he's my grandson, he can treat me as if I were his grandmother.
00:06:29Or his grandmother.
00:06:33I'm sorry, Grandma.
00:06:36It didn't happen.
00:06:38It's not that my wife's grandmother.
00:06:43No need to be here, Grandpa.
00:06:56Heidi?
00:07:24Heidi, can you explain to me exactly where...
00:07:28You won't believe me either.
00:07:30Nobody will ever believe me.
00:07:32Well, what's more important, finding your friend
00:07:34or trying to convince us that there's some kind of monster out there?
00:07:37There is.
00:07:38I saw its footprints. I heard it.
00:07:41And it's got Jennifer.
00:07:42And all anybody's doing around here is staring at me like I'm crazy.
00:07:46Nobody thinks you're crazy.
00:07:48The problem is the patrolmen haven't been able to find Jennifer yet.
00:07:52In fact, they can't even find your tracks.
00:07:54So you're going to have to get a hold of yourself
00:07:56and take us back out there again.
00:07:58I'm not going back.
00:08:00Please, don't ask me to.
00:08:02Please, I can't.
00:08:06Okay, okay.
00:08:11But you can describe this spot, can't you?
00:08:13No.
00:08:15The only thing I can remember are those footprints.
00:08:17Oh, God, it's so cold.
00:08:21I'm scared, but I'm so cold.
00:08:24Oh, God, what am I going to tell Jennifer's parents?
00:08:31You always expect me to keep an eye on her.
00:08:34I'm going to call them right now.
00:08:36No, no, no, no.
00:08:36Don't worry them unnecessarily like that.
00:08:39We're going to find Jennifer, I promise you.
00:08:42Let's get back to the lodge and get yourself warmed up.
00:08:45I'll have Buster drive you down.
00:08:46No.
00:08:46Hey, try not to worry, okay?
00:08:51We're going to find her, I'm telling you.
00:08:55Thomas?
00:08:57We passed an old barn.
00:08:59Off by itself, near a stream.
00:09:02Good girl.
00:09:05Take her down to the lodge,
00:09:06have my grandmother keep an eye on her.
00:09:08I'd hate to have our guests or anybody at Carnival hear that kind of story.
00:09:13For many of us, huh?
00:09:26Let's split up, see what we can find.
00:09:28We'll meet back at the lodge in a half hour.
00:09:30Let's go.
00:09:30Let's go.
00:10:00Let's go.
00:10:30Let's go.
00:12:00He won that gold medal. He sold it.
00:12:02He did?
00:12:04What did he get for it?
00:12:05Don't tell him. Let him keep his illusions.
00:12:13Will you be staying for the whole winter carnival?
00:12:16I think so.
00:12:17That's just great. Well, thank you.
00:12:19Well, it's nice to feel wanted somewhere.
00:12:37Coming?
00:12:37Hey, Tony!
00:12:54I don't think he recognized us.
00:13:01I think he did.
00:13:03Perhaps he's got something more important to do right now.
00:13:05Well, good old Tony knows I'm going to ask him for a job.
00:13:12How could he know that? He hasn't heard from you in ages.
00:13:16Yeah, you were right.
00:13:18Coming up here was a dumb idea.
00:13:23I never said it was a dumb idea.
00:13:25I just said you might be better off looking for work outside the ski business.
00:13:30This is all I know how to do.
00:13:32You know what I think, Gar?
00:13:34You don't really want a job.
00:13:35This is just an excuse to back out and still feel right about it.
00:13:49This wasn't an animal.
00:13:52And it wasn't human either.
00:13:55Well, it certainly narrows it down.
00:13:57I don't know.
00:13:58Did the other men see it?
00:14:00I don't think so.
00:14:01You didn't ask them?
00:14:01If they'd have seen it, then it told me.
00:14:03They thought Heidi was imagining things.
00:14:07They couldn't possibly think that of you.
00:14:09One word from you, it'd be all over town in a minute.
00:14:12Oh, it's a fine time to have a panic just before I went to Carnival.
00:14:16I'm not hiding anything.
00:14:18I didn't tell the men because I wanted to get them out of the area as quick as I could.
00:14:24Not because you have a vested interest in the future of this resort.
00:14:29Grandma, I'm going to try to spell it out for you very simple.
00:14:33There's something very strange and very dangerous out there.
00:14:38And if I thought it would stay up there, fine.
00:14:41We could designate the area avalanche prone and just seal it off.
00:14:45Well, if it were going to come any nearer, wouldn't it have done so by now?
00:14:50What do you base that on?
00:14:53You don't know anything about it.
00:14:55I mean, you don't know how long it's been up there, when it got there.
00:14:58It could have got there last night.
00:15:00Just in time for the winter carnival.
00:15:02What are you being so facetious about?
00:15:05For heaven's sake, what do you want us to do?
00:15:08Report it to Sheriff Paradei immediately.
00:15:11Report what to Sheriff Paradei?
00:15:12Tony, can you hear yourself describing what you saw, what you thought you saw?
00:15:17Tony, we need this carnival.
00:15:20It's what keeps the tourists coming here all year round.
00:15:22The whole town needs it.
00:15:23I know all that.
00:15:25Well, then, let's just hold our fire until the carnival is over.
00:15:29I agree with you.
00:15:31Let's designate the area restricted.
00:15:33Tell the maintenance crew to put up a slew of signs.
00:15:36And what do you tell Jennifer's parents?
00:15:41Tony, I'm not being insensitive, just realistic.
00:15:48You know what I think?
00:15:50I think it was an avalanche.
00:15:53Bodies do disappear in avalanches, you know.
00:15:56Are you forgetting about Heidi?
00:15:59I'm not worried about Heidi.
00:16:03I certainly don't have to worry about you, Tony.
00:16:06Do I?
00:16:09After all, you are my grandson.
00:16:23Charlie, let's see if you can locate Sheriff Paradei for me.
00:16:26Oh, all right.
00:16:27Gar, Ellen.
00:16:29I'm sorry I had to keep running, uh, crisis.
00:16:32You two look great!
00:16:33Does he, uh, still wear his gold medals to bed?
00:16:40Listen, I'm still running.
00:16:41Let's get together, have a drink later on, and, uh, confess everything.
00:16:47I've forgotten how beautiful you are.
00:16:54You always were the winner.
00:16:56I need a job, Tony.
00:16:57I didn't wear you, though.
00:17:03Mr. Rill, I heard you didn't find the girl.
00:17:27You want me to go up here?
00:17:27Where have you been?
00:17:28With Heidi?
00:17:29Yeah.
00:17:30How is she?
00:17:31I had your grandmother and the doctor give her something.
00:17:33Put her out for a while.
00:17:34She was in a pretty bad shock.
00:17:36Look, Mr. Rill, I'm supposed to have the rest of the day off.
00:17:39But I got a pretty good idea where the girl is up there on that mountain.
00:17:43If it's all right with you, I'd like to take a couple of patrollers up there, look around, see what I can find.
00:17:46No, and that's an order.
00:17:48May I ask why?
00:17:49Because I don't want anybody up there.
00:17:51I want the area posted.
00:17:52You get a hold of Ben Cochran and Maintenance, you tell them to get ready to put a lot of signs up there.
00:17:57Yes, sir.
00:18:00Saying what?
00:18:01What?
00:18:03How do you want the signs to read?
00:18:06Restricted area.
00:18:22No, no, no, no.
00:18:29No, no.
00:18:35No, no.
00:18:37No, no.
00:18:46On the left.
00:18:47They set them up there.
00:18:48No, no.
00:22:18John, where are you going?
00:23:13What's the matter, son?
00:23:19What's the matter?
00:23:21Speak up.
00:23:22Inside, the water clock.
00:23:27What's the matter, the water clock.
00:23:36Oh, my...
00:23:45Oh, my...
00:23:54Oh, my...
00:23:55Oh, my...
00:24:04Oh, my...
00:24:13Hey, Tony.
00:24:14Hey, Tony.
00:24:19Sheriff, I want to talk to you.
00:24:22I want to talk to you.
00:24:26Unit 2, unit 2, unit 2, unit 2, unit 1.
00:24:37Unit 2, go ahead.
00:24:39Unit 2, go ahead.
00:24:41Unit 2. Go ahead.
00:24:44Sheriff, some ski patroller wants to talk to you.
00:24:47Yeah, what about?
00:24:49The man said murder.
00:24:52What? Where?
00:24:54Out at the old Fairchild place.
00:24:57I'm on my way.
00:24:58Tony, he's gonna have to wait.
00:25:00Wait a minute!
00:25:11Sorry, I'm late.
00:25:23How's our new superstar?
00:25:25Your grandmother decided that a living legend is just what this place needs.
00:25:31May I have some coffee, please?
00:25:33Would you like some more tea, Mrs. Hebert?
00:25:35Yes, thank you, Mr. Rill.
00:25:37Tea.
00:25:37What is it, Tony?
00:25:43Well, the pressures.
00:25:44Comes with, uh...
00:25:46Inheriting all this.
00:25:47I must tell you, I'm very impressed.
00:25:50You really built this into something.
00:25:52Why, thank you.
00:25:54Thank you for giving Gar a job.
00:25:58That's all in our favor.
00:26:01But he told me he had a hard time getting you up here.
00:26:03How come?
00:26:05Well, I only get two weeks off a year, you know.
00:26:07And I had my heart set on a warm climate.
00:26:10Hmm.
00:26:12And I was afraid of seeing you again.
00:26:16After all this time.
00:26:18Everything we had.
00:26:20What did you think would happen?
00:26:22I don't know.
00:26:24I've been having a lot of fantasies about you for the last year.
00:26:28Fantasies about me?
00:26:29Good or bad?
00:26:30Not bad.
00:26:31A friend of mine, a doctor, said that when a woman starts having fantasies about the man she didn't marry, she's not getting enough realities from the man she did.
00:26:43Hmm.
00:26:44I think your friend is talking to you about sexual realities.
00:26:47And you're not.
00:26:49Reality is the problem.
00:26:52You know, Tony, if I were an archaeologist or something, it wouldn't be so bad.
00:26:56But I'm a reporter.
00:26:57Television is all here and now.
00:27:00It's exciting.
00:27:00It's challenging.
00:27:01It's stimulating.
00:27:02That's where I am all day.
00:27:04Then I go home to Gar.
00:27:05And it's the winter of 68.
00:27:09That's where he is.
00:27:11How long has he been like that?
00:27:13Do you know that he hasn't been up on his ski since he won the gold medals?
00:27:19That's incredible.
00:27:21Now, maybe coming up here will change all that.
00:27:24Not his fault entirely.
00:27:2725% of the world watched him win those medals.
00:27:30The president called him.
00:27:32He was on magazine covers.
00:27:33He did television commercials.
00:27:34He was a hero for an instant.
00:27:37And whatever it takes to go back to being an ordinary mortal,
00:27:41Gar doesn't have it.
00:27:44It's really a form of paralysis.
00:27:46Well, as I see the problem, doctor,
00:27:48you're still in love with the man.
00:27:51Well, I could fall out of love with him.
00:27:53It'd be so much easier.
00:27:56You know, marriage can survive a lot of things.
00:27:59But it can't survive lack of respect.
00:28:02And I've lost about all the respect I've ever had for him.
00:28:10I need a nap.
00:28:12Wait a minute.
00:28:14You know what you need?
00:28:16You need to have someone say he loves you.
00:28:19And I do, you know.
00:28:20You know, I always have.
00:28:51I saw that, you know.
00:29:01Kissing my wife and partner.
00:29:03Hey, uh, guess who's been elected to crown Queen Betty Jo?
00:29:10Yours truly.
00:29:11Ta-da.
00:29:13Carr, are you still a good marksman?
00:29:17You mean on the rifle range?
00:29:19No, not necessarily.
00:29:21What do you mean?
00:29:24Okay, whatever I tell you, you'd have to promise me not to repeat it to anybody.
00:29:28Okay.
00:29:30You serious, aren't you?
00:29:32Mm-hmm.
00:29:33Not even Ellen?
00:29:34Especially Ellen.
00:29:38Why especially Ellen?
00:29:40Because she's a news person.
00:29:45Okay.
00:29:45All right.
00:29:47Tony.
00:29:47Tony.
00:29:52Meet me in an hour at the swimming pool, okay?
00:29:55Okay.
00:30:04You better take the boy home now, Mr. Cochran.
00:30:06I appreciate your help.
00:30:07Yeah.
00:30:07Okay, sure.
00:30:08Thanks, son.
00:31:10Do you believe in such a creature?
00:31:14I really don't know.
00:31:17But you know, they say that there are hundreds of them roaming around all over the country.
00:31:21Who says?
00:31:22Lots of people.
00:31:23Right after that story broke, Helen did a special on the Bigfoot controversy.
00:31:28So she traveled all over the country.
00:31:31Interviewed dozens of people who supposedly had seen one of them.
00:31:34Has one of them been seen around here?
00:31:35Is that what your crisis is all about?
00:31:40Well, I saw something, Gar.
00:31:42It was monstrous.
00:31:45And it wasn't an animal.
00:31:48And it wasn't human either.
00:31:49And now you find that you're too rational and too realistic to allow yourself to believe it was something else.
00:31:58Is that it?
00:32:00A little bit of all that.
00:32:02And that's why you hired me to go out and blow its brains out, right?
00:32:10Talked about friendship.
00:32:14Do a bit of something else.
00:32:15I didn't give you a job as a hired killer, Gar.
00:32:18Well, of course not.
00:32:20You were only thinking of this town that you love so very much.
00:32:23You're damn right I am.
00:32:25That thing is dangerous, Gar.
00:32:27Thing.
00:32:28Just because it doesn't look like you or me.
00:32:30Measured a thing.
00:32:32And then it's alright to go out and kill it in cold blood, right?
00:32:35And how do you know it's dangerous?
00:32:37Everyone who's ever been in contact with one says exactly the same thing.
00:32:41It stares at you for a few seconds.
00:32:43And then it disappears again into the wilderness.
00:32:46Except when it feels like carrying off a young girl.
00:32:49That story turned out to be a hoax.
00:32:52I'm not talking about that story.
00:32:54I'm talking about one of our guests.
00:32:57I found her jacket the other day.
00:32:59It looked like it had been ripped off her body and it was bloodstained.
00:33:02And I believe that thing killed her.
00:33:13It looked like that.
00:33:14I don't know.
00:33:16Have you seen my husband?
00:33:19No, Ellen, I haven't.
00:33:27Jimmy, are you looking for me?
00:33:30No, Sheriff Pariday needs to see Tony right away.
00:33:33Do you have any idea where he might be?
00:33:35No, I haven't.
00:33:37Oh, Ellen, it seems as if both our men are missing.
00:33:39something wrong nothing you want to hear about and look i got to get right back out there as

00:37:07i thought i saw something up there
00:37:08where
00:37:14come on we got to get to the barn
00:37:16the sheriff's waiting for us
00:37:22Oh, my God.
00:37:52Oh, my God.
00:38:23Hi, Cole.
00:38:24I got here as fast as I could.
00:38:27Scar Seaburger, our new ski school director.
00:38:29Sheriff Faraday.
00:38:30What's up?
00:38:31Well, I think we found that missing girl.
00:38:33Where?
00:38:34Cochran's boy found her inside, dead.
00:38:40I understand she was a guest at the lodge.
00:38:42I was hoping you could help me identify her.
00:38:44I must have seen her somewhere.
00:38:47Maybe I'll recognize her when I see her face.
00:38:52She doesn't have one.
00:38:53I must have seen her in a while.
00:38:54I'm sorry.
00:38:55I'm sorry.
00:38:55I'm sorry.
00:38:56I'm sorry.
00:38:56I'm sorry.
00:38:57I'm sorry.
00:38:58I'm sorry.
00:38:58I'm sorry.
00:38:58Let's go.
00:39:28It's pretty obvious she wasn't murdered.
00:39:38Only human beings commit murder, and whatever did that wasn't even halfway human.
00:39:44What do you think, Tony?
00:39:46Can you help me? Is that her?
00:39:48Yes, sir.
00:39:50What do you base that on?
00:39:53Color of her suit.
00:39:56How would you know the color of her clothes?
00:39:59It matches the jacket I found.
00:40:01You found the jacket where?
00:40:03On the North Slope. We were looking for her up there yesterday.
00:40:07Her friend thought she might have had an accident.
00:40:09So the patrollers told me, but they didn't say anything about a jacket.
00:40:12We spread out in different directions, Cole.
00:40:14But you came together again.
00:40:16That's right.
00:40:17So why didn't you show them the jacket?
00:40:20What?
00:40:21Why didn't you show them the jacket, Tony?
00:40:25I left it where I found it.
00:40:27As a marker.
00:40:32Is that what you wanted to talk to me about?
00:40:34Oh, that's right.
00:40:39I wanted to see you about it first.
00:40:42I didn't want to put the town in a panic.
00:40:46And what about this stuff Heidi told the patrol about a monster?
00:40:52Heidi only saw the footprints.
00:40:55I saw the thing itself.
00:40:57All right. Tell me about it.
00:41:00Well, let's go.
00:41:24Go.
00:41:25I don't know.
00:41:55I can certainly understand your grandmother not wanting any of this to get out.
00:41:59You know, she may be right about it being a grizzly.
00:42:02Winter attacks are not all that rare, you know.
00:42:04Cole, it's not a grizzly.
00:42:06What do you think it is?
00:42:09Gar thinks it's one of those legendary creatures called Bigfoot.
00:42:14That's right.
00:42:17The legends I've heard about Bigfoot put him pretty firmly in the Pacific Northwest.
00:42:23Not necessarily, Sheriff.
00:42:26Ellen tells me there are hundreds of them roaming around all over the country.
00:42:31Ellen?
00:42:33Oh, my wife.
00:42:36She's a TV journalist.
00:42:38And a while back, she did a special on the Bigfoot controversy.
00:42:41Did they settle anything?
00:42:44Nah, not what you, a sheriff, would consider hard evidence.
00:42:49But she did run across a couple of interesting points.
00:42:51She went up to Washington State and met with an anthropologist.
00:42:55He showed her, oh, I think she said 150 photographs.
00:43:00High-end and footprints.
00:43:01Oh, so-called Bigfoots.
00:43:05Now, if you want to know more about it, I suggest you go and talk to Ellen.
00:43:11Oh, so-called Bigfoot, what do you think?
00:43:12Oh, so-called Bigfoot, what do you think?
00:43:13Oh, so-called Bigfoot, what do you think?
00:43:14Oh, so-called Bigfoot, what do you think?
00:43:15Oh, so-called Bigfoot, what do you think?
00:43:16Oh, so-called Bigfoot, what do you think?
00:43:17Oh, so-called Bigfoot, what do you think?
00:43:18Oh, so-called Bigfoot, what do you think?
00:43:19Oh, so-called Bigfoot, what do you think?
00:43:20Oh, so-called Bigfoot, what do you think?
00:43:21Oh, so-called Bigfoot, what do you think?
00:43:22Oh, so-called Bigfoot, what do you think?
00:43:23Oh, so-called Bigfoot, what do you think?
00:43:24Oh, so-called Bigfoot, what do you think?
00:43:25Whatever did that to that girl, the less people are getting its way, the more of us are going to stay alive.
00:43:47Right. So we're going to say that the girl was mauled to death by a crazed grizzly out of hibernation.
00:43:56That's the story I'd like for you to tell your wife, Mr. Seabird.
00:44:00All right, Sheriff. I will. For now, that is.
00:44:04Thank you. Tomorrow morning, when it gets daylight, I'd like for the three of us to sneak out here,
00:44:14track that thing down and kill it.
00:44:19We just lost Mr. Seabird.
00:44:22No, you didn't, Sheriff.
00:44:25Whatever did that to that girl in there has got to be destroyed.
00:44:31Fine. Okay.
00:44:44What was a love for you?
00:44:54What a call, Al.
00:44:58Why?
00:45:00Let's go.
00:45:30Let's go.
00:46:00Let's go.
00:46:30We were supposed to be at the high school auditorium over an hour ago.
00:46:33Oh.
00:46:34Tony, will you go to the airport?
00:46:37I had to notify that poor girl's parents.
00:46:40They're doing any minute.
00:46:42What'd you tell them, Grandma?
00:46:43Nothing.
00:46:44Except that you'd be there to meet them.
00:46:48Come on.
00:46:49Come on.
00:46:55Come on.
00:46:55Come on.
00:46:58Come on.
00:47:30Oh, Betty Jo, smile.
00:47:49I am trying to smile, but I keep imagining how that poor...
00:47:52Betty Jo, it's carnival time, and you're the queen.
00:48:00Betty Jo, it's carnival time, and you're the queen.
00:48:30Betty Jo, it's carnival time, and you're the queen.
00:49:01God, are you all right?
00:49:14God, did you see it? Did you see it?
00:49:22Oh, my God.
00:49:26Oh, my God, my God, my God, my God, my God.
00:49:56What a mess.
00:50:06How are we going to write this one up?
00:50:08I don't know.
00:50:23Gar.
00:50:23What?
00:50:24Please, don't tell me. I'm sorry. He was right. I should have let him report it.
00:50:29But we had to have our winter carnival. It was our 50th.
00:50:34I guarantee you, it'll continue for the next 50 years.
00:50:39Now, you take care of yourself, all right? And I'll take care of this one.
00:50:43Take care.
00:51:24Take care of it. Your wife's probably worrying about you.
00:51:26Yeah, I appreciate it.
00:51:27Well, you sure picked a bad time to go to work for real life.
00:51:31Yeah.
00:51:33What are you going to do next?
00:51:35Well, as soon as it's daylight, I'm going to get out there and see if I can't track that thing down.
00:51:41I'd like to come along with you, if you don't mind.
00:51:45Well, Tony says you're a crack shot.
00:51:48Sure.
00:51:49By the way, did you teach your wife to ski like that?
00:51:53Like what?
00:51:54When did you ever see her ski?
00:51:56Well, she followed us clear out to the barn.
00:51:58I saw her up in the hills watching us.
00:52:01Then I guess she turned around and headed back.
00:52:03Mm-hmm.
00:52:05I wonder how she found out there was something going on.
00:52:08Well, sir, I was wondering the same thing till I found out she was a lady reporter.
00:52:12My deputy figures that she overheard him telling Mrs. Rill to send Tony out there, and I guess something in the way he said it must have tweaked her nose for news.
00:52:23Right.
00:52:23Well, at any rate, let's hope that by this time of my night we'll have an end of this story for her.
00:52:29Well, let's go.
00:52:30Well, let's go.
00:52:30Well, let's go.
00:52:31Well, let's go.
00:52:32Hey, Vinnie.
00:52:47My wife.
00:52:48Did you see my wife?
00:52:49Not since this afternoon.
00:52:51Oh, wait.
00:52:53Excuse me, Mr. Seabird, but I've got to check that couple out, or they'll walk right out without paying.
00:52:58All right, I understand.
00:52:59Now, you saw my wife this afternoon.
00:53:01Did you see her come back?
00:53:02No.
00:53:03No.
00:53:28Well, you saw my wife.
00:57:28If you hadn't gotten lost, I would never have had good enough reason to get back on my skis again.
00:57:34How was it?
00:58:04It was really great, Alan.
00:58:07I should have told you a long time ago why I never skied after 68.
00:58:12I think it's because I saw too many champions become has-beens.
00:58:16I didn't want to be a has-been, so I figured that by not skiing anymore, I'd stay on top.
00:58:31But I didn't.
00:58:38But I didn't.
00:59:08I didn't think so.
00:59:09I thought you'd have been doing anything from me?
00:59:10I thought you'd never ask.
00:59:15I'll never ask you.
00:59:16I'll never ask you.
00:59:17I'll never ask you.
00:59:18I'll never ask you.
00:59:19I'll never ask you.
00:59:24This is Bud, Sheriff.
00:59:46We've checked the North Slope for Mr. and Mrs. Seaberg.
00:59:49No sign of anyone or anything in this area.
00:59:54We've checked the North Slope.
01:00:24I love you.
01:00:37Did you say something?
01:00:41Let's go home, Gar.
01:00:48Do we have to?
01:00:52Come on.
01:01:02Are you sure you want to go home?
01:01:04Let's go.
01:01:05Come on.
01:01:06Come on.
01:01:07Come on.
01:01:09Come on.
01:01:11Come on.
01:01:12Come on.
01:01:14Come on.
01:01:18Come on.
01:01:32Come on, come on.
01:02:02I'm gonna check the barn, Cole.
01:02:18Tony?
01:02:19Wait a minute.
01:02:21Up there on the hill.
01:02:23It's gone, but I saw it.
01:02:24I swear.
01:02:25We're gonna have to go back over the bridge and turn around to get over there.
01:02:32Wait!
01:02:35Hey, Tony!
01:02:37Wait!
01:02:40Look!
01:02:43God.
01:02:45Tony!
01:02:46Oh, Tony.
01:02:48You okay?
01:02:49We're all right.
01:02:51The sheriff and his deputy's up there looking for right now.
01:03:02Ready?
01:03:03Aim.
01:03:04Fire.
01:03:05Ready?
01:03:06Aim.
01:03:07Fire.
01:03:08Ready?
01:03:09Aim.
01:03:10Fire.
01:03:11Fire.
01:03:14Police.
01:03:15Wait, stay.
01:03:17Ready?
01:03:18Aim.
01:03:19Fire!
01:03:20Fire.
01:03:21Fire!
01:03:22Fire!
01:03:23Fire!
01:03:24Agh!
01:03:26Fire!
01:03:31Fire!
01:03:33Fire!
01:03:34Fire!
01:03:35Fire!
01:03:36Fire!
01:03:37Fire!
01:03:38Fire!
01:03:39Fire!
01:03:40I told the sheriff I was going to catch up with him.
01:03:44I guess you two better get some sleep, huh?
01:03:46No, I'll go with you.
01:03:49After the night you've been through?
01:03:51Sure.
01:03:52I'm asleep when you come in.
01:03:54Wake me up.
01:03:57We got it!
01:03:58The sheriff himself shot it right between the eyes.
01:04:00We're bringing it in.
01:04:10I couldn't believe one of those things would be out in the wintertime.
01:04:27Yeah, I'm amazed.
01:04:28Some shot, huh?
01:04:29We're going to hold it in the left side.
01:04:42That's it.
01:04:59Well, Mr. Seeper, huh?
01:05:21The only thing is the lodge.
01:05:24Okay.
01:05:25Do you mind if I ask you a yes or no question?
01:05:29Well, that all depends.
01:05:31As a friend.
01:05:33Pardon?
01:05:34More as a time saver, though.
01:05:36Because if your answer is yes, there's no sense in us talking.
01:05:41Did you know you were killing the wrong thing?
01:05:46All I know for sure, Mr. Seberg, is that something came charging out of that brush at me,
01:05:53and it wasn't human.
01:05:55Are you that sure that it was the wrong thing?
01:06:00Well, I don't know, but it seems to me that the best way to find out is to cut it open and see what's inside.
01:06:06Look, Sheriff.
01:06:06If the people of this town are in danger, don't you think it's your responsibility to warn them?
01:06:12Even if it means calling off the winter carnival.
01:06:16Look, Mr. Seberg, what is it that I'm going to warn the people against?
01:06:22A man-beast legend whose very existence is hotly disputed?
01:06:28Disputed by whom?
01:06:29Well, by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, for one.
01:06:33I wouldn't know this, but I talked to Washington this morning,
01:06:36and they said that they don't have one piece of evidence,
01:06:40nothing they've seen or heard that would stand up under scientific scrutiny, unquote.
01:06:45Now, is that what you want me to warn the people against?
01:06:48Can you honestly expect them to believe it?
01:06:51Now, an unseasonal bear is one thing,
01:06:54but a legend is, uh, well, just that, a legend.
01:06:59Bigfoot has been sighted in the Northwest for the last 150 years.
01:07:03There are verified recordings of attacks.
01:07:06I had a man on my television show just recently
01:07:08who swears he threw a rock at one and it ran away.
01:07:10But I don't think what we've seen has been put.
01:07:14I don't think it's as simple as that.
01:07:17I agree.
01:07:19There have been enough happenings around here.
01:07:21All it takes is one person who doesn't believe it was a bear,
01:07:25and you'll have a stampede on your hands.
01:07:27That's just the point.
01:07:29I don't want these hills full of people shooting at each other.
01:07:33Now, you don't believe it was that bear, do you?
01:07:36No, it was not a bear.
01:07:39What do you think it was?
01:07:40I don't know.
01:07:42A mutant of some kind.
01:07:44Something left over from the last ice age.
01:07:46I don't know.
01:07:47Whatever it is, it's still out there.
01:07:49And it's a killer.
01:07:51What do you suggest we do?
01:07:53What you told my husband we should do in the first place.
01:07:56But this time, let's really do it.
01:07:58That's right.
01:08:00And you can count on me, Sharon.
01:08:02What you're saying is you want us to go up there, just the two of us, and destroy this thing.
01:08:09That's right.
01:08:10Just the three of us.
01:08:16Just the four of us.
01:08:18Everybody ready?
01:08:18What do you think?
01:08:34What do you think?
01:08:36I love you.
