00:00:03I
00:02:28Hey.
00:02:28Oh, come on.
00:02:30Jeez.
00:03:06Hey, Jennifer.
00:03:09Look at these.
00:03:12Some joker.
00:03:14Snowshoes from some mail-order novelty house.
00:03:18Oh.
00:03:21I'll go.
00:03:27Yes.
00:03:31Oh.
00:03:53Hello 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 Carnival. All of us here have been
00:04:06looking forward to this big event for some time. Even the weather has blessed us with
00:04:10good snow and cold sunny skies. I'm sure you'll agree that the events that we have lined up
00:04:18will make this our best Winter Carnival yet. Let me tell you a little about what we have
00:04:23planned. First of all, you may compete in as many of the events as you were mine to. We've
00:04:30got cross-country skiing, snowmobiling, dog sled racing, and every variety of alpine skiing.
00:04:41Downhill, slalom, and freestyle skiing is what we used to call hot dogging.
00:04:49But, uh, you hot doggers will be judged on grace and originality, not on your audacity.
00:04:59There's Billy Gill, the snow queen. Me too!
00:05:06Oh, my God! This is real! Hi! How are you? Hail to the queen!
00:05:26Charlie, Mr. Rilland? Can I help you, Buster? Come on, Charlie. No.
00:05:33Uh, Tony, could you come out here a second? Buster Smith wants to talk to you.
00:05:40Hi, Buster. What can I do for you? Mr. Rilland, can I talk to you a moment in private?
00:05:46Sure.
00:05:50I am so pleased you remembered Betty Jo, even though your mother's too young to remember,
00:05:55that I was the very first queen of our very first winter carnival.
00:06:00But I was only 16.
00:06:03That was, uh, 50 years ago.
00:06:06Charlie, very good.
00:06:08Tony, this is a fine time to be going skiing.
00:06:12Hardly, Grandma. We have a little problem.
00:06:14The manager takes care of big problems, which we don't have at Rill Lodge.
00:06:18No. No big problems here, Rilland.
00:06:25He thinks because he's my grandson, he can treat me as if I were his grandmother.
00:06:29He's very good.
00:06:31He's not an actor.
00:06:43He's a beautiful actress.
00:06:49He's my daughter.
00:06:55He's a happy person.
00:06:57He was very well.
00:06:58He knows where he's at Rilland.
00:06:59He's a full star.
00:07:23Heidi?
00:07:26Heidi, can you explain to me exactly where...
00:07:28You don't believe me either. Nobody will ever believe me.
00:07:32Well, what's more important, finding your friend or trying to convince us that there's some kind of monster out there?
00:07:37There is. I saw its footprints. I heard it.
00:07:40And it's got Jennifer. And 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 and take us back out there again.
00:07:57I'm not going back there.
00:08:00Please, don't ask me to. Please, 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.
00:08:28What am I going to tell Jennifer's parents?
00:08:31They 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. Don'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.
00:08:49Hey, try not to worry, okay?
00:08:51We're going to find her, I'm telling you.
00:08:55Thomas?
00:08:57Thomas?
00:08:58That's an old barn, off by itself, near a stream.
00:09:02Good girl.
00:09:05Take her down to the lodge, have my grandmother keep an eye on her.
00:09:09I'd hate to have our guests or anybody at Carnival hear that kind of story.
00:09:13From any 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.
00:09:31Let's go.
00:09:37Let's go.
00:10:28Jennifer!
00:10:30Fire!
00:11:55Can we have your autograph, Mr. Seabird?
00:11:57You gave my father one at the 68 Winter Olympics, but then when you won that gold medal, he sold
00:12:02it.
00:12:02He did?
00:12:04What did he get for it?
00:12:05Don't tell him.
00:12:06Let 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.
00:12:18Well, thank you.
00:12:26Well, it's nice to feel wanted somewhere.
00:12:37Coming?
00:12:52Hey, Tony!
00:12:58I 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.
00:13:07No.
00:13:09Good old Tony knows I'm going to ask him for a job.
00:13:12How could he know that?
00:13:14He hasn't heard from you in ages.
00:13:17Well, you were right.
00:13:21Coming 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.
00:13:36This 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?
00:14:02If they'd have seen it, they'd have told me.
00:14:04They 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?
00:14:51What 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?
00:15:13Can you hear yourself describing what you saw, what you thought you saw?
00:15:17Tony, we need this carnival.
00:15:19It'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.
00:15:34Tell the maintenance crew to put up a slew of signs.
00:15:38And what do you tell Jennifer's parents?
00:15:42Tony, 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.
00:16:28Car, Ellen.
00:16:30I'm sorry I had to keep running.
00:16:31Crisis.
00:16:32You two look great!
00:16:36Does he still wear his gold medals to bed?
00:16:40Listen, I'm still running.
00:16:42Let's get together, have a drink later on, and 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.
00:17:02I didn't wear you, though.
00:17:15I need a job.
00:17:25Mr. 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.
00:17:30I wish you.
00:17:31I need your grandmother.
00:17:32And the doctor gave her something.
00:17:33Put her out for a while.
00:17:34She was in 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,
00:17:45look around, see what I can find.
00:17:47No, 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,
00:17:54you tell them to get ready to put a lot of signs up there.
00:17:58Yes, sir.
00:18:00Saying what?
00:18:01What?
00:18:02How do you want the signs to read?
00:18:06Restricted area.
00:18:08Restricted area.
00:18:25How do you want the signs to read?
00:18:27What?
00:18:27All right.
00:19:06All right.
00:19:35All right.
00:20:23All right.
00:20:30All right.
00:21:05All right.
00:21:31All right.
00:21:32All right.
00:21:49All right.
00:21:53All right.
00:22:19All right.
00:22:42John, where are you going?
00:22:43All right.
00:23:17What's the matter, son?
00:23:19What's the matter?
00:23:21Speak up.
00:23:22Inside.
00:23:25The water clock.
00:23:40What's the matter?
00:24:02Oh, my...
00:24:04Oh, my...
00:24:05Oh, my...
00:24:17Hey, Tony.
00:24:21Hey, Tony.
00:24:44It's going to have to wait.
00:25:00Wait a minute.
00:25:01Wait a minute.
00:25:25Wait a minute.
00:25:31May I have to wait a minute.
00:25:32May I have some coffee, please?
00:25:33May I have some coffee, please?
00:25:34Would you like some more tea, Mrs. Seabird?
00:25:35Yes.
00:25:36Thank you, Mr. Rill.
00:25:37Tea.
00:25:41What is it, Tony?
00:25:42Well, the pressure?
00:25:44Well, the pressure...
00:25:44Well, the pressure comes with, uh...
00:25:46I must tell you, I'm very impressed.
00:25:50You really built this into something.
00:25:52Why, thank you.
00:25:55For giving Gar a job.
00:25:57No.
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...
00:26:13I 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.
00:26:23I'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.
00:26:33A friend of mine, a doctor, said that, uh...
00:26:36When a woman starts having fantasies about the man she didn't marry...
00:26:39She'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.
00:26:58Television 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.
00:27:06And 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.
00:27:21Well, 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.
00:27:31He was on magazine covers.
00:27:33He did television commercials.
00:27:35He was a hero for an instant.
00:27:37And whatever it takes to go back to being an ordinary mortal, Gar doesn't have it.
00:27:43It's really a form of paralysis.
00:27:46Well, as I see the problem, Doctor, you're still in love with the man.
00:27:51If only 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.
00:28:04And I've lost about all the respect I 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.
00:28:20I always have.
00:28:38I gotta turn around.
00:28:41I guess I'm not doing so.
00:28:45You know.
00:28:50Just give me a pen.
00:28:58I saw that, you know, kissing 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.
00:29:13Gar, 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?
00:29:47Tony.
00:29:52Meet me in an hour at the swimming pool, okay?
00:29:55Okay.
00:30:04Better take the boy home now, Mr. Cochran.
00:30:06I appreciate your help.
00:30:07Yeah.
00:30:08Okay, sure.
00:30:10Thanks, son.
00:30:11Yeah.
00:30:27Oh.
00:30:29Yeah.
00:30:32Yeah.
00:30:54I don't know.
00:30:54Sounds like it's troubling you, Tony.
00:30:56Why don't you tell me what it is?
00:30:57You remember a news story a few months back, some hikers claimed that one of their party, a young girl,
00:31:06was carried off by a 12-foot hairy monster?
00:31:09Yeah, Bigfoot.
00:31:11Do you believe in such a creature?
00:31:15I 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.
00:31:24Right after that story broke, Helen did a special on the Bigfoot controversy.
00:31:27So she traveled all over the country, interviewed dozens of people who supposedly had seen one of them.
00:31:34Has one of them been seen around here?
00:31:36Is that what your crisis was 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.
00:31:53And 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 you have a bit of something else?
00:32:15I didn't give you a job as a hired killer, Gar.
00:32:18Of 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.
00:32:27A thing?
00:32:28Just because it doesn't look like you or me measured a thing.
00:32:32And then it's all right 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.
00:32:44And then it disappears again into the wilderness.
00:32:46Except when it feels like carrying off a young girl.
00:32:50That story turned out to be a hoax.
00:32:51I'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.
00:33:17Have you seen my husband?
00:33:19No, Ellen.
00:33:20I haven't.
00:33:30Oh, Ellen, it seems as if both our men are missing.
00:33:40Something wrong?
00:33:42Nothing you want to hear about.
00:33:44And look, I've got to get right back out there.
00:33:46As soon as he shows up, will you tell him the sheriff wants him to come right out to the
00:33:48old Fairchild farm?
00:34:17Well, let's get right back out to the old Fairchild farm.
00:34:46The sheriff I went out to the real lodge.
00:34:48They don't know where Tony is.
00:34:49I talked to Mrs. Rill, told her as soon as he shows up,
00:34:52I'll send him out here right away.
00:34:54You make anything of this?
00:35:34I don't know.
00:35:54I don't know.
00:36:35I don't know.
00:37:00Donnie, I thought I saw something up there.
00:37:06Where?
00:37:15Come on, we've got to get to the barn.
00:37:17The sheriff's waiting for it.
00:37:48Come on.
00:37:49Come on.
00:37:51Come on.
00:37:54Come on.
00:38:03Come on.
00:38:05Come on.
00:38:08Come on.
00:38:23Come on.
00:38:24Hi, Cole.
00:38:24I got here as fast as I could.
00:38:27Scar Seberg, our new ski school director.
00:38:29Sheriff Faraday, what'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.
00:38:43I was hoping you could help me identify her.
00:38:45I must have seen her somewhere.
00:38:47Maybe I'll recognize her when I see her face.
00:38:51She doesn't have one.
00:38:54She doesn't have one.
00:38:56She doesn't have one.
00:39:07Who is hoping about you.
00:39:07She says,hopper, where is the star, where did you go?
00:39:10Do you mind?
00:39:16Do you mind?
00:39:34it's pretty obvious she wasn't murdered only human beings commit murder and
00:39:40whatever did that wasn't even halfway human what do you think Tony
00:39:45here can you help me is that her that's her what do you base that on color of her suit
00:39:54how
00:39:57would you know the color of her clothes it matches the jacket I found found the jacket
00:40:02where on the north slope we were looking for up there yesterday her friend thought
00:40:07she might have had an accident so the patrollers told me but they didn't say anything about a
00:40:11Jack we spread out in different directions Cole but you came together again that's right so why
00:40:18didn't you show them the jacket what why didn't you show them the jacket Tony I left it where I
00:40:26found it as a marker is that what you want to talk to me about that's right I wanted to
00:40:40see you about
00:40:41it first I didn't want to put the town in a panic what about this stuff for Heidi told the
00:40:49patrol
00:40:49about a monster Heidi only saw the footprints I saw the thing itself all right tell me about it
00:41:17so
00:41:24so
00:41:25so
00:41:25so
00:41:25so
00:41:25so
00:41:40so
00:41:41so
00:41:54Well, I 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.
00:42:42Did they settle anything?
00:42:44Nah.
00:42:45Not what you, a sheriff, would consider hard evidence.
00:42:48But she did run across a couple of interesting points.
00:42:51She went up to Washington State and met with an anthropologist.
00:42:54He showed her, oh, I think she said, 150 photographs.
00:43:00Hand and footprints.
00:43:01Of so-called Bigfoots.
00:43:06Now, if you want to know more about it, I suggest you go and talk to Ellen.
00:43:40Whatever did that to that girl, the less people would get in its way, the more it's gonna
00:43:46stay alive.
00:43:48Right.
00:43:50So we're gonna say that the girl was mauled to death by a crazed grizzly out of hibernation.
00:43:57That's the story I'd like for you to tell your wife, Mr. Seabird.
00:44:01All right, Sheriff.
00:44:02I will.
00:44:02But for now, that is.
00:44:08Tomorrow morning, when it gets daylight, I'd like for the three of us to sneak out here,
00:44:15track that thing down, and kill it.
00:44:19We just lost Mr. Seabird.
00:44:22No, you didn't, Sheriff.
00:44:26Whatever did that to that girl in there has got to be destroyed.
00:44:30Buy him.
00:44:33Okay.
00:44:34Mom.
00:44:36Mom.
00:44:47Wait.
00:44:54Let's go.
00:44:54I know.
00:44:54Come on.
00:44:55Come on, see.
00:44:55He's going.
00:44:56And we're going.
00:45:00You have to die.
00:45:02You have to die every night.
00:45:05Come on.
00:45:06We're going to die.
00:45:06Come on.
00:45:08Come on.
00:45:09Let's go.
00:45:50Oh, my God.
00:46:11She wasn't even 20.
00:46:13To think that something like that could happen to her.
00:46:15Mawled to death by a grizzly and in the dead of winter.
00:46:19Come on, Doug, you can't believe that.
00:46:21Something else happened to that girl.
00:46:23Personally, I'm scared.
00:46:24Where in the world have you been?
00:46:26We've been calling all over town for you.
00:46:29What? What's wrong?
00:46:30You were supposed to be at the high school auditorium over an hour ago.
00:46:34Oh.
00:46:35Tony, will you go to the airport?
00:46:38I had to notify that poor girl's parents.
00:46:40They're due in 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.
00:46:50Come on.
00:46:52Come on.
00:46:52Come on.
00:46:54Come on.
00:46:55Come on.
00:47:01Come on.
00:47:03Come on.
00:47:05Come on.
00:47:06Come on.
00:47:07Come on.
00:47:08Come on.
00:47:08Come on.
00:47:08Come on.
00:47:08Come on.
00:47:08Come on.
00:47:08Come on.
00:47:09Come on.
00:47:11Come on.
00:47:13Come on.
00:47:41Oh, I'm sorry.
00:47:46Oh, Betty Jo, smile.
00:47:49I am trying to smile, but I keep imagining how that poor...
00:47:53Betty Jo, it's carnival time, and you're the queen.
00:48:19Oh, my God.
00:48:23Oh, my God.
00:48:37Oh, my God.
00:48:44Oh, my God.
00:48:45Oh, my God.
00:49:13Are you all right?
00:49:14Guy, did you see it?
00:49:15Did you see it?
00:49:28The crowd!
00:49:30The crowd!
00:49:33The crowd!
00:49:48Mama!
00:49:49Mama!
00:49:50Mama!
00:49:53Mama!
00:49:55Mama!
00:49:56Mama!
00:49:57Mama!
00:50:00Mama!
00:50:01Mama!
00:50:01Mama!
00:50:03Mama!
00:50:04What a mess.
00:50:06How are we going to write this one up?
00:50:08I don't know.
00:50:23Car?
00:50:23What?
00:50:24Please tell Tony, I'm sorry.
00:50:26He was right.
00:50:27I should have let him report it.
00:50:29But we had to have our window carnival.
00:50:32It was our 50th.
00:50:34I guarantee you, it'll continue for the next 50 years.
00:50:38Now, you take care of yourself, all right?
00:50:40And I'll take care of this one.
00:50:43Take care.
00:51:13Still can't get a hold of Tony. Seems to be a lot of hysteria back at the lodge.
00:51:17Bad news travels fast.
00:51:19You'd better let me drive you back, Mr. Seaberg.
00:51:22Don't worry about the car. I'll have one of my deputies take care of it.
00:51:24My wife's probably worrying about you.
00:51:26Appreciate it.
00:51:27Well, you sure picked a bad time to go to work for a real lodge.
00:51:31Yeah.
00:51:33What are you gonna do next?
00:51:35Well, as soon as it's daylight.
00:51:37I'm gonna 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.
00:51:59I 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.
00:52:13Yeah.
00:52:13My deputy figures that she overheard him telling Mrs. Rill to send Tony out there.
00:52:18And I guess something in the way he said it must have tweaked her nose for news.
00:52:23Right.
00:52:24At any rate, let's hope that by this time of my night we'll have an end of this story for
00:52:29her.
00:52:46Hey, Billy.
00:52:48My wife.
00:52:48Have you seen my wife?
00:52:49Not since this afternoon.
00:52:51Oh, hey, wait.
00:52:53Excuse me, Mr. Seberg, 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.
00:53:05Now, let me go.
00:56:53You know you scared a hand out of me.
00:56:54Oh, God.
00:56:58Oh.
00:57:07Oh.
00:57:08I'm proud of you.
00:57:10I'm sorry I let us drift so far apart.
00:57:13Well, we both kind of let that happen.
00:57:17I should have been there when you needed me all these years.
00:57:23You finally were.
00:57:25I was?
00:57:27Sure.
00:57:29If you hadn't gotten lost, I would never
00:57:31have had good enough reason to get back on my skis again.
00:57:35How was it?
00:57:41I stood on top of this mountain, looked down,
00:57:50and I saw myself, instead of flying down,
00:57:54I was falling down, completely out of control.
00:57:59But once I got skiing, it was great.
00:58:04It was really great, Ellen.
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.
00:58:18I didn't want to be a has-been.
00:58:26So I figured that by not skiing anymore, I'd stay on top.
00:58:37But I didn't.
00:58:41Those things don't happen that way.
00:58:48They don't.
00:58:50I've been such a fool, Ellen.
00:58:52Oh, not a fool, my love.
00:58:55We're all afraid of failing.
00:58:57Oh, no.
00:59:00Not you.
00:59:01Oh, yes, me.
00:59:03I never knew that.
00:59:05I never showed you.
00:59:07Have you been keeping things from me?
00:59:11Oh, will you kiss me?
00:59:14I thought you'd never ask.
00:59:42I thought you'd never ask.
00:59:44This 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.
01:00:00Oh, no sign of anyone and Mrs. Seaberg will sign the North Slope for that.
01:00:06And as we'll bedraint, a new wife, a new wife.
01:00:06Oh, no sign of her.
01:00:08Oh, no sign of her.
01:00:09Edna, what you want, and that's my friend.
01:00:09Yeah, I'm not sure.
01:00:10You didn't know her.
01:00:10Oh, no sign.
01:00:10Oh, no sign of ours.
01:00:12Oh, no sign of yours.
01:00:17Oh, no sign of yours.
01:00:32I love you.
01:00:37Did you say something?
01:00:47Let's go home, Gar.
01:00:51Can we have to?
01:00:52Come on.
01:01:02Are you sure you want to go home?
01:01:04No.
01:01:21No.
01:01:25No.
01:01:27Come on, come on.
01:01:44Come on, come on.
01:01:45Come on, come on.
01:01:45Whoa!
01:02:09I'm gonna check the barn, Cole.
01:02:17Tony?
01:02:19Wait a minute.
01:02:21Up there on the hill.
01:02:22It's gone, but I saw it.
01:02:24I swear.
01:02:25We're gonna have to go back over the bridge
01:02:27and turn around to get over there.
01:02:34Wait!
01:02:35Hey, Tony!
01:02:38Wait!
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.
01:02:55Oh.
01:02:57Oh.
01:03:13Ready?
01:03:14Aim.
01:03:15Fire.
01:03:42I told the sheriff I was gonna catch up with him.
01:03:44Uh, I guess you two better get some sleep, huh?
01:03:46No.
01:03:47I'll go with you.
01:03:49After the night you've been through?
01:03:51Sure.
01:03:52From the sleep 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.
01:04:01Hey!
01:04:17Woo!
01:04:17Woo!
01:04:20Woo!
01:04:21I've no compete!
01:04:21Woo!
01:04:24Woo!
01:04:25Woo!
01:04:25Woo!
01:04:25Can you believe one of those things would be out in the winter time?
01:04:27Yeah, I'm amazed.
01:04:28That's some shocker.
01:04:35Hey, you're speaking.
01:04:37Okay.
01:04:41Let's go.
01:04:42That's it.
01:05:19Oh, Mr. Seeker, huh?
01:05:21The only thing is to lodge.
01:05:24Okay.
01:05:25You mind if I ask you a yes or no question?
01:05:28Yes, sir.
01:05:29No, sir.
01:05:29No, sir.
01:05:29No, sir.
01:05:29Well, that all depends.
01:05:31As a friend.
01:05:33Partly.
01:05:34More as a time saver, though.
01:05:36Because if your answer is yes,
01:05:38there'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,
01:05:48is that something came charging out of that brush at me,
01:05:54and it wasn't human.
01:05:56Are you that sure that it was the wrong thing?
01:05:59Well, I don't know, but it seems to me that the best way to find out
01:06:03is to cut it open and see what's inside.
01:06:06Look, Sheriff.
01:06:07If the people of this town are in danger,
01:06:09don'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,
01:06:20what is it that I'm going to warn the people against?
01:06:23A 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,
01:06:37and 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.
01:06:46Now, is that what you want me to warn the people against?
01:06:48Can you honestly expect them to believe it?
01:06:51No, an unseasonal bear is one thing, but a legend is sin.
01:06:57Well, 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.
01:07:12But I don't think what we've seen is Bigfoot.
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,
01:07:24and 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?
01:07:52What 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.
01:08:03What you're saying is you want us to go up there,
01:08:06just the two of us and destroy this thing.
01:08:09That's right.
01:08:09Just the three of us.
01:08:16Just the four of us.
01:08:18Everybody ready?
01:08:21I'm in trouble.
01:08:30Come on.
01:08:35Come on.
01:08:37I've been with you help.
01:08:42Oh, my gosh.
01:08:48That's
01:11:57I think we should call it a day and head back for the camper.
01:16:27Good morning.
01:16:55Good morning.
01:17:05Cole!
01:17:07Cole!
01:17:08Are you hurt?
01:17:10Oh my God!
01:17:12Come on, Gail!
01:17:13Tony!
01:17:14Cole!
01:17:16Cole!
01:17:18Cole!
01:17:19Cole!
01:17:19Cole!
01:17:35Cole!
01:17:50All right, let's slow down.
01:17:52It's not chasing us anymore.
01:17:54God would have won.
01:17:57Well, he's no longer killing just to eat.
01:18:00That last attack wasn't mindless.
01:18:03That was a planned counterattack.
01:18:06We're not going to get very far walking.
01:18:09The barn's down here. Let's head for it.
01:18:12Hey, Tony, that's not a very good idea.
01:18:15Why not?
01:18:16Because that's where he's been stashing his food.
01:18:19Can you imagine us being there when he shows up?
01:18:22It's already lost two from there.
01:18:24If he's as smart as you think he is, he won't come back to the barn again.
01:18:28Let's go.
01:18:43Let's go.
01:18:43Let's go.
01:18:46Let's go.
01:18:51Let's go.
01:18:53Let's go.
01:18:55Let's go.

01:19:05Let's go.
01:19:28Hey, Tony, where are you going?
01:19:30There's three sets of skis and three rifles back up at that camper.
01:19:33Why don't you stay with Ellen? There's no sense in all of us risk in our lives.
01:19:37Hold on.
01:19:40We decided we would stay together until this thing was over.
01:19:43Yeah. Remember?
01:19:44We're more vulnerable if we stood up.
01:19:47Okay, let's go.
01:20:15This new snow is just going to make everything more difficult for us.
01:20:19Yeah, but a lot easier for it.
01:20:23Come on.
01:20:50Wait a second.
01:20:52Where were your rifles when the camper turned over?
01:20:55By the side of it.
01:20:57But the extra rifles were inside, weren't they?
01:21:00Yeah.
01:21:01Now, if I pull the logs out, will you?
01:21:03Go in and get them.
01:21:05I want to come out.
01:21:30Ellen, can you see the rifles?
01:21:31No.
01:21:33Where can you find anything?
01:21:36There's some skis.
01:21:38Oh, great. Throw them up.
01:21:39Okay.
01:21:42There should be a service revolver in the cab.
01:21:56Ellen, look at the closet.
01:21:58The robbers may be there.
01:22:00All right.
01:22:17Tony, look.
01:22:19I found a gun.
01:22:21I used it.
01:22:39Get the rifles, Ellen.
01:22:42And the other skis.
01:22:43Okay.
01:22:44Okay.
