NEWS 10 HAS RECEIVED AN EXCLUSIVE RECORDING

OF WHAT MAY BE THE LAST MOMENTS OF LIFE

FOR BILLIONAIRE EXPLORER MARK HORDSTROM.

THE FAMED ADVENTURER WENT MISSING TWO WEEKS AGO

WHILE ON A TREK IN THE HIMALAYAS.

RESCUERS HAVE BEEN ATTEMPTING TO REACH HIS CAMP FOR DAYS,

BUT A MASSIVE SNOWSTORM HAS CAUSED DELAYS.

HERE NOW IS WHAT MAY BE HIS FINAL DISTRESS CALL,

WHICH COULD SHOW EVIDENCE OF A POSSIBLE ATTACK.

WARNING-- THIS MAY BE DISTURBING TO SENSITIVE VIEWERS.

THERE ARE CREATURES SCIENCE REFUSES TO RECOGNIZE.

THERE'S SOMETHING DOWN THERE!

WHAT IS THAT?

THEM-- THEY'RE MONSTERS!

IN MARCH 2005, RENOWNED EXPLORER MARK HORDSTROM

DISAPPEARED WHILE ON AN EXPEDITION TO MOUNT EVEREST.

THREE YEARS LATER, AMIDST MEDIA FRENZY,

HIS REMAINS WERE DISCOVERED AND RETURNED TO THE STATES

ALONG WITH WHAT HIS RESCUERS CLAIM TO BE A MAJOR DISCOVERY.

TWO JOURNALISTS, JARED SLATE AND ALEX TURNER,

WERE DETERMINED TO BREAK THE STORY EARLY.

BEHIND ME IS THE CARGO SHIP THE INVENTUS,

WHICH WE THINK HOLDS THE FROZEN REMAINS

OF THE FAMED ADVENTURER MARK HORDSTROM,

WHO WENT MISSING IN THE HIMALAYAS

UNDER MYSTERIOUS CIRCUMSTANCES YEARS AGO.

NOW, IN ADDITION TO HORDSTROM'S REMAINS,

THERE'S BEEN TALK OF ANOTHER MAJOR DISCOVERY

TO BE ANNOUNCED AT A PRESS CONFERENCE IN THE DAYS TO COME.

TO GET THE EXCLUSIVE STORY,

SLATE AND TURNER BRIBED LONGSHOREMAN CHARLIE NEWHOUSE

TO SNEAK THEM ABOARD THE VESSEL

A DAY BEFORE THE PRESS CONFERENCE.

WHAT THEY ENCOUNTERED, HOWEVER,

WAS A STORY MORE VIOLENT THAN THEY EVER IMAGINED

AND A LEGEND THEY NEVER EXPECTED.

WHERE THE HELL HAVE YOU GUYS BEEN?

YOU WERE SUPPOSED TO BE HERE TWO HOURS AGO.

YEAH, WELL, IT WAS A LITTLE HARDER TO GET ON THE DOCKS

THAN WE HAD ANTICIPATED.

SECURITY'S REALLY TIGHT.

COME ON, NEWHOUSE.

YOU'RE NOT GOING SOFT ON US, ARE YOU?

COME ON.

WATCH OUT FOR THE GUARD. KEEP QUIET AND FOLLOW ME.

ALL RIGHT, COME ON.

ALL RIGHT, IT'S DOWN THERE.

YOU GOT TO BE KIDDING ME, RIGHT?

COME ON, SLATE. GROW A PAIR.

PIECE OF CAKE.

WHAT TOOK YOU SO LONG?

HA HA. VERY FUNNY.

COME ON. LET'S GO.

SURE YOU KNOW WHERE WE'RE GOING?

YEAH.

SO, NEWHOUSE, HOW MUCH DO YOU KNOW ABOUT WHAT THEY FOUND?

NOTHING MORE THAN I'VE ALREADY TOLD YOU.

THEY WERE UP IN THE MOUNTAINS, FOUND SOMETHING--

SUPPOSED TO BE A BIG DEAL.

WELL, THEY BROUGHT IT BACK WITH THEM,

AND THEY'RE KEEPING IT IN COLD STORAGE.

I GOT ACCESS TO PARTS OF THE BOAT,

BUT THEY DIDN'T TELL ME ANYTHING.

I'M BEEN WORKING FOR THESE GUYS FOR YEARS FOR NEXT TO NOTHING.

AS SOON AS THEY FOUND OUT THEY COULD MAKE A BUCK OFF IT,

CUT ME RIGHT OUT OF THE LOOP.

Dr. Nickell: ONE OF THE MOST FAMOUS

OF ALL CRYPTIDS, OR UNKNOWN ANIMALS,

IS THE YETI, THE FABLED ABOMINABLE SNOWMAN

OF NEPAL AND TIBET AND BUTON.

THE YETI IS SAID TO BE VERY POWERFULLY BUILT

WITH A MANLIKE BUILD, EXCEPT BIGGER, MORE MUSCULAR,

7 TO 7.5 FEET TALL,

USUALLY COVERED WITH DARK-BROWN MATTED HAIR.

IN THE CASE OF THE YETI, IT IS PART OF THE CULTURE.

IT IS PART OF THE SUPERSTITION AND BELIEF,

BUT IT'S ALSO PART OF THE GEOGRAPHICAL LANDSCAPE.

YOU CAN'T TALK ABOUT NEPAL,

YOU CAN'T TALK ABOUT THE HIMALAYAS

WITHOUT PROBABLY THE MOST FAMOUS ANIMAL RUMORED TO LIVE THERE.

THE NEPALESE, WHO LIVE IN THOSE AREAS,

AND THE SHERPA, WHO ARE HIRED BY MOUNTAIN CLIMBERS,

CONSIDER IT TO BE A DANGEROUS NATURAL ANIMAL

THAT WILL CARRY OFF HUMANS IF IT GETS A CHANCE TO.

ALL RIGHT, THIS IS WHERE THEY PUT THE CRATES.

WE BETTER HURRY THIS UP.

UGH!

AW, BLOODY HELL! WHAT HAPPENED HERE?

YEAH, WE PUT POISON OUT FOR THE RATS

TO KEEP THEM FROM GETTING INTO STUFF.

THAT DOESN'T LOOK LIKE POISON. THESE RATS WERE RIPPED APART.

OH, MY GOD.

IT'S PROBABLY JUST SOME EQUIPMENT SHIFTING.

KEEP IT TOGETHER, SLATE.

NEWHOUSE, WHERE THE HELL IS IT?

JUST FOLLOW ME.

IT'S IN THIS SECTION. IT'S RIGHT UP HERE.

HEY, HEY, HEY. ALEX. THIS MUST BE HORDSTROM.

QUICK. GIVE ME THE CROWBAR.

UGH!

FRUIT! IT'S BLOODY FRUIT!

WHERE'S HORDSTROM?

AAH! AAH! AAH! AAH! AAH!

FRUIT! IT'S BLOODY FRUIT!

WHERE'S HORDSTROM?

AAH! AAH! AAH! AAH! AAH!

OH, MY GOD. IS THAT HORDSTROM?

NO.

I KNOW THAT GUY. THAT'S A GUY I WORK WITH.

WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED TO HIM?

THAT'S NO MACHINE ACCIDENT.

WE GOT TO GET OUT OF HERE, AND WE GOT TO CALL THE COPS.

HEY, TURNER, LOOK AT THIS.

"BIOLOGICAL SPECIMEN."

THIS MUST BE THE BIG DISCOVERY, SOME KIND OF ANIMAL.

WHY WOULD AN ANIMAL BE A BIG DISCOVERY?

I DON'T KNOW.

GUYS, DO YOU HEAR ME?

WE GOT TO GET OUT OF HERE! WE GOT TO CALL THE COPS!

YOU SEE ANYTHING?

WHOA. WHAT IS IT?

THE WHOLE CRATE BACK HERE HAS BEEN BUSTED OPEN.

DEFINITELY AN ANIMAL OF SOME KIND.

I THINK JANE GOODALL AND OTHER PRIMATOLOGISTS WOULD AGREE

THAT THERE ARE STILL UNDISCOVERED PRIMATES THAT EXIST

THAT WE HAVEN'T FOUND YET.

EVEN IN THE 21st CENTURY, THERE ARE PRIMATES THAT COME TO LIGHT

THAT WE DIDN'T KNOW OF UNTIL JUST RECENTLY.

THERE WAS A NEW LEMUR DISCOVERED IN THE FORESTS OF MADAGASCAR

ABOUT 10 TO 15 YEARS AGO THAT WAS UNKNOWN.

SO EVEN IN THE MODERN WORLD,

THERE STILL ARE RELATIVELY UNEXPLORED PLACES.

Dr. Lynch Alfaro: THE HIMALAYAS ARE AN EXTREMELY HARSH HABITAT

FOR HUMANS TO TRAVEL IN AND DO RESEARCH IN.

YOU HAVE HIGH SNOW COVER AND ICE,

AND SO DIGGING FOR ANY KIND OF FOSSILS

WOULD BE EXTREMELY DIFFICULT.

WE'RE TALKING ABOUT RELATIVELY FEW CREATURES

IN A LARGE, UNEXPLORED, AND LARGELY UNINHABITED AREA

THAT'S VERY HOSTILE TO HUMANS.

SO YOU HAVE SORT OF A PERFECT STORM OF FACTORS

TO HELP KEEP THIS CREATURE HIDDEN FROM MAN.

WHATEVER WAS IN THERE IS NOW OUT HERE WITH US.

GOD, IT'S GOT TO BE HUGE.

YEAH, NO KIDDING.

WHAT THE HELL IS THAT?

IS THERE SOMEONE ELSE IN HERE WITH US?

NO, INSTRUCTIONS WERE EXPLICIT--

NOBODY ON THIS SIDE OF THE SHIP.

WE GOT COMPANY.

WELL, THAT'S OUR ANIMAL. I THINK WE SHOULD GO FIND IT.

ARE YOU OUT OF YOUR MIND? WHAT?

THIS ISN'T WORTH IT ANYMORE. I GOT A FAMILY TO TAKE CARE OF.

I'M LEAVING. Y'ALL CAN COME WITH ME OR NOT. I DON'T CARE AT THIS POINT.

I'LL LEAVE YOU HERE IN A HEARTBEAT.

YOU COMING OR WHAT? YEAH, WE'RE COMING.

NO! SLATE! WE'RE GOING.

NO, IT'S NOT WORTH IT. HE'S RIGHT.

IF WE DON'T GET SOMETHING TANGIBLE TONIGHT,

WE'RE GONNA BE LIKE EVERY OTHER SCHMUCK

AT THAT PRESS CONFERENCE TOMORROW.

WE'VE ALREADY GOT SOMETHING TANGIBLE!

COME ON!

IF WE BREAK THE STORY A DAY EARLY?

THINK ABOUT IT.

OKAY.

OKAY.

ALL RIGHT, NEWHOUSE, ARE YOU IN?

HELL, NO. COME ON, MAN.

NO. I'D RATHER BE A SCHMUCK THAN BE A CORPSE.

NEWHOUSE! YOU'RE ON YOUR OWN.

WE DON'T NEED HIM, SLATE.

WE CAN FIND IT WITHOUT HIM.

WE DO NEED HIM. HE KNOWS-- NEWHOUSE? CHARLES!

WE CAN FIND IT WITHOUT HIM. LET HIM GO.

OH, GREAT.

ALL RIGHT, COME ON.

COME ON WHERE? WHERE THE HELL ARE WE GOING?

THIS WAY.

DID YOU HEAR THAT?

YEAH.

NO! NO! AAH!

SIR EDMUND HILLARY,

THE FIRST PERSON EVER TO REACH THE SUMMIT OF MOUNT EVEREST,

WAS COMPELLED TO RETURN TO THE MOUNTAIN SEVEN YEARS LATER

ON AN ENTIRELY DIFFERENT MISSION.

A PERSONAL QUEST TO TRACK DOWN THE YETI--

WHEN "LOST TAPES" CONTINUES.

1953. MOUNT EVEREST.

SIR EDMUND HILLARY AND HIS CLIMBING PARTNER

BECAME THE FIRST PEOPLE

TO REACH THE SUMMIT OF THE LEGENDARY PEAK.

BUT DID THEY ALSO CROSS PATHS WITH ANOTHER LEGEND?

HILLARY'S INVESTIGATION

OF A GIANT FOOTPRINT HE FOUND IN THE SNOW

INTRODUCED HIM TO LOCAL TALES OF A LARGE APELIKE BEAST

WITH INCREDIBLE HEIGHT AND STRENGTH.

THE DISCOVERY COMPELLED HIM TO RETURN IN 1960

ON A NEW EXPEDITION, WITH THE SPECIFIC INTENT

TO FIND HARD PROOF OF THE YETI'S EXISTENCE.

HILLARY WAS ABLE TO RECOVER A MYSTERIOUS SCALP

THAT LOCALS CLAIMED BELONGED TO THE CREATURE.

ALTHOUGH IT WAS NOT ENOUGH TO CONVINCE HIM DEFINITIVELY,

HILLARY CONTINUED TO BE INTRIGUED BY THE CONVICTION

OF THE NEPALESE PEOPLE AND THEIR BELIEF

IN WHAT THEY REFERRED TO AS THE WILD MAN OF THE SNOWS.

NO! NO! AAH! AAH!

CAME FROM OVER THERE. GO! GO! GO, GO, GO!

UGH!

SLATE, ARE YOU OKAY?!

COME ON. I'M OKAY.

WHAT IS THAT?

IT'S BLOOD.

DO YOU THINK IT'S NEWHOUSE?

I DON'T KNOW. THAT'S A LOT OF BLOOD.

WHAT IS THAT?

IT LOOKS LIKE A FOOTPRINT. GOD, IT'S ENORMOUS.

LOOK AT THE SIZE OF IT!

OKAY. WE GOT TO GET OUT OF HERE.

SLATE, LOOK AT ME.

WE NEED TO GET ONE SHOT OF IT, OKAY?

IF ALL WE HAVE IS A BUNCH OF BLOODY FOOTPRINTS,

IT'S GONNA LOOK LIKE WE STAGED IT.

LOOK AT ME. I PROMISE.

JUST ONE SHOT, AND THEN WE'LL GO.

OKAY? I PROMISE YOU.

OKAY, ONE MORE SHOT.

AND THEN THAT'S IT. THEN WE'RE GETTING OUT OF HERE.

I PROMISE.

ALL RIGHT?

OH, MY GOD.

ANY ANIMAL, IF CORNERED, IF TRAPPED,

IF FACED WITH EITHER THEIR SURVIVAL OR THEIR FREEDOM

IS GOING TO TURN AND FIGHT.

YETIS CERTAINLY HAVE BEEN DESCRIBED

AS UPWARDS OF 400 TO 800 POUNDS.

THEY'RE SEEN AS A MASSIVE CREATURE-- HUGE MUSCLES

WITH A HEIGHT THAT REALLY GIVES THEM A LOT OF ADVANTAGES,

WHETHER IT'S THEY'RE DEALING WITH HUMANS OR YAKS

OR OTHER CREATURES.

SO THEY SEEM TO BE FORMIDABLE.

THEY SEEM TO REALLY BE SOMETHING

THAT PEOPLE DO NOT WANT TO TANGLE WITH.

DID YOU GET THAT?

IT'S IN THERE.

YEAH.

OH, DEAR GOD.

ALEX. ALEX.

AAH! DID YOU GET IT?! DID YOU GET A SHOT?!

I GOT IT! NOW LET'S GO!

ALL RIGHT! GO!

RUN! COME ON! COME ON!

UGH!

I SMASHED MY KNEE!

OHH! UGH! YOU OKAY?

COME ON.

TURNER, LOOK OUT! AAH! AAH!

LET'S GO!

WHERE THE HELL DID IT GO?!

I THINK YOU SCARED IT OFF!

I KNOW YOU'RE HURT, BUT WE GOT TO KEEP MOVING.

GET BACK THIS WAY! QUICK! COME ON! FOLLOW ME!

WHERE? IN HERE!

QUICKLY. QUICKLY. IN HERE.

OKAY. OKAY.

OKAY, I THINK IT'S CLEAR. OKAY.

ON MY COUNT. ALL RIGHT?

READY? OKAY.

ONE...

TWO...

AAH! AAH!

ON MY COUNT. ALL RIGHT?

READY? OKAY.

ONE...

TWO...

AAH! AAH!

OH, GOD! THAT'S NEWHOUSE'S ARM!

OH.

OH, MY GOD. SLATE.

OH, GOD.

WE HAVE TO GET OUT OF HERE.

YEAH, OKAY.

COME ON. I THINK IT'S THIS WAY.

OPEN IT.

OPEN IT!

I'M TRYING TO!

GO, GO, GO, GO!

KEEP MOVING!

WHAT THE HELL IS THAT THING?!

I HAVE NO IDEA.

AAH! GO! GO!

UP THERE. YEAH.

TO THE MAIN DECK.

OKAY. TURNER, GO.

UGH!

THIS IS THE DOOR!

HANG IN THERE, TURNER! WE'RE LEAVING RIGHT HERE!

IT'S-- IT'S BLOODY LOCKED!

WHAT? HELP!

SOMEBODY! HELP!

HELP US!

SOMEONE HELP! PLEASE!

WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU GUYS DOING HERE?

OH, NEVER MIND THAT! OPEN THE BLOODY DOOR!

I DON'T HAVE A KEY! OPEN THE DOOR!

HOLY WHAT IS--

OPEN THE DOOR!

COME BACK! OPEN THE DOOR!

IN THE HOURS THAT FOLLOWED,

THE PRESS CONFERENCE SCHEDULED TO ANNOUNCE THIS MAJOR DISCOVERY

WAS ABRUPTLY CANCELED,

LEADING TO RUMORS OF GOVERNMENT INTERFERENCE.

THE REMAINS OF CHARLES NEWHOUSE, ALEX TURNER, AND JARED SLATE

WERE NEVER RECOVERED.

THOUGH THIS NEWLY LEAKED VIDEO EVIDENCE

WOULD SUGGEST OTHERWISE,

THEIR DEATHS WERE ALL OFFICIALLY LISTED AS DROWNINGS.

THE VESSEL INVENTUS WAS REDIRECTED TO PLUM ISLAND,

A GOVERNMENT FACILITY KNOWN FOR BIOLOGICAL RESEARCH.

FOR CENTURIES, NATIVES AND ADVENTURERS

HAVE SHARED LEGENDS OF FEROCIOUS BEASTS

THAT ROAM THE HIMALAYAS,

BUT THE INVENTUS INCIDENT RAISES A MORE CONTROVERSIAL QUERY.

ARE THESE LEGENDS CONFINED TO THE REMOTE CORNERS OF OUR EARTH,

OR DO THEY LIVE AMONG US?
