You know, guys, we're going to do it. We're really going to all make it to the

top. Next on Airwolf.

They're scaling the backside of San Jacinto Peak.

You can leave or you can die.

Pack it up. We got to get moving.

Looks like they might have run into the Catman.

Kill the feelers.

What?

Feelers, car, mardensis, bobcat.

You shot him.

What the hell are you doing?

You can't do that to a man's gun.

You can leave or you can die.

What?

It's your choice.

Don't let me make the decision.

Tom, maybe we should just clear out, huh?

You know, this is public land.

We got a right to be here.

I have no right to kill my cats.

Gee.

Hey, um, how about we just leave, huh?

Fine.

We'll leave.

That doesn't mean we're gonna stay gone.

I'll be watching you.

You've been warned!

I don't even want to hear about it. I love it. I love it. You had him all the

way, Kirk.

Caitlin, you're a traitor.

Hey, a bet's a bet. You gotta go with the odds.

He almost had you, sweetheart.

Now don't tell me you were betting on Hawk.

Are you kidding me? I know which side my bread's buttered on.

You're a smart lady.

I'm a lucky lady.

You're a lucky guy.

Hey, no way, pal.

be two fair and square.

Listen, next time I go up against you with one of those things, I'm going to

hijack that wheelchair of yours and go do an extra long workout.

Now tell me, is this a snivel?

Not.

Just don't tell me you're going to backstroke out of our agreement.

Agreement? What agreement?

Hey, friend, you promised you'd be here tomorrow,

counting on you as our safety man.

Snivel, snivel.

Snivel not. I said I'd be here. I'll be here.

Not to worry. We'll be there.

I already got a chopper that's going to bring you guys down off the mountain.

Now, what exactly is this point outfit?

Oh, it's paraplegics on independent nature trips. This time, they're scaling

the backside of San Ysidro Peak.

Boy, sounds torturous.

Who wants a streetcar?

Climbed a mountain.

Don't worry.

Everything's gonna be all right.

I'll keep you all from harm.

I'll protect you, your family.

I have to.

Loved ones.

Okay, your signature goes here, and your initials here and here.

What's with all this legalese?

Oh, it's just standard waivers.

That's just in case this client kills you. You see, the rest of us guys can

divvy up your earthly goods.

You're gonna have to fight that one out with my wife.

She's got dibs on everything.

I'm still trying to figure out what you're trying to prove.

Maybe nothing.

Maybe everything.

Now, this is only an overnighter. You think you've got enough gear there,

Hall?

Tell me, Captain.

Supposed to be a leader of his expedition.

He's more diverse than I expected.

Hey, hey, hey, look at that guy.

He'll have no trouble getting up to the top of that mountain. Yeah, Rudy's a

survivor, all right. Was a professional car thief.

High-speed police pursuit put him in that chair.

Oh, that blonde guy's awful familiar.

Yeah, probably from the Olympics.

Ben Ferran's his name.

Paul Walter.

Oh, yeah.

Oh, I remember reading about his accident.

Say, isn't that Maurice, your old golfing partner?

Yeah.

Man, he could hit a ball farther than I like to walk.

You should have seen his swing before a landmine blew his legs off a knob.

Guy was really a pro.

Kirk, who's the cop?

That's Charlie Callahan, retired after a shootout with some bank bandits.

Says the gun's for snakes, but you know ex-cops.

Once a cop, always a cop.

We'll be going up that hill right up there.

Cuts back in on a pack trail, and there are a lot of little switchbacks, and it

gets real hairy.

I'll stick real close to you.

Yeah, big bad ex-con.

Hey, man, this ain't no exercise yard to county jail. This is Smokey the Bear

country. You ought to know about that.

Hey,

in case you haven't met him yet, string fellow Hawk, he's our safety man. Yeah,

Hawk.

We'll try not to run over you, man.

And Caitlin O'Shaughnessy. I hope she's our safety lady.

Actually, Kate and the duffer in the red satin cap, Dominic Santini, they are our

pilots. I hope he's a better pilot than he is a golfer.

Now, Dom and Kate will pick us up tomorrow in the chopper and bring us

back down from the top of the mountain. You got it? Yeah.

Let's get up there and start looking down on everybody else for a change.

You call it, man. Let's go for it. Hey, let's get it together.

Hard way. Yeah.

All right. Which way?

The only way. To the top. All the way. That's right. Do it.

Do it. All right. Let's hit it. Got it.

All right.

All right.

Get up there. Take it easy, boys.

See you at the top.

Thank you.

Okay.

I don't know what you mean.

What's this?

A poacher?

No, he wouldn't be hanging to kill out in the open like that.

He's probably a bounty hunter for farmers down in the valley.

Hey, watch out for this one.

No sweat.

Man,

that was some ride, huh?

You all right?

Well, pretty good.

Hey, man, you could have broke your neck.

broke my legs gilp you ain't got no legs i can at least dream can i

hey what do you say let's take a break and have a beer hey my kind

of safety man oh yeah let's have a beer all right yeah come on break them out

Wasn't too bad for a prepare, was it? No.

You saw us?

Hi. Bruce, why don't you tell Clowder to come help me out back here?

All right, I'm busy. I'm building up the fireplace. Yeah, you're always busy.

Come on, Ellison. You always got a problem. Use that rock, all right?

Okay, Kirk.

I guess we'll have to go on up the next hill.

Shut up, Marty!

Tom!

That's the first cat I've seen since sunup.

Yeah, well, I say it's time we clear out.

You know, you've been spooked ever since we ran into that cat tracker.

Has he been around lately?

No.

But I can feel him.

Besides, when a bunch of crips come rolling through your hunting camp.

And wheelchairs, and these damn mountains are too crowded for me.

Wheelchairs? I swear to God, they came rolling right through here.

Like a troop of disabled boy scouts on their way to a handicapped jamboree or

something.

You're getting awfully shaky.

Listen, that tracker may have kitty litter for brains, but he's not crazy

enough to try to chase us off the mountain.

Unless he wants to end up like one of his cats.

by a moon shadow moon shadow moon shadow leaping

and hopping on a moon shadow moon shadow moon shadow and

if I ever lose my eyes all my colors all run dry

yes if I ever lose my eyes

And if I ever lose my hand, lose my plow, lose

my land, and if I ever lose my land, I

won't have to work no more.

And if I ever lose my legs, I won't have to walk

no more.

of that song is like, you didn't play it that way, but it sounds like a blues

song. Maybe it should have been.

Give me a blues song.

Yeah. Play it that way. Yeah.

You know what?

I'll tell you.

I lost my legs.

It made me real angry.

I was mad as hell for a while.

We all were.

It sounds like the blues.

I can hear that.

Right, that's the blues man.

What do you say Charlie? Let's do it again the right way.

Followed by a moon shadow.

Moon shadow, moon shadow.

Leaping and hopping on a moon shadow.

Moon shadow, moon shadow.

Fire burns through my eyes.

All my colors all run dry.

Uh, Jono, you know, we do have a schedule to make.

I don't think I'm going to be able to keep it.

Man, you made it this far. You can go on.

Man, my blisters have blisters.

I think I'm going to wait here until the chopper comes, picks me up here.

You can do that if you want.

She'd probably regret it yep What difference does it make

Only you can answer that part

Yeah, isn't it?

Expression of speech, I'm not really sure yet.

Hey, maybe some hot coffee would help.

Oh, probably save a life.

How about some breakfast? You know, we have plenty.

Oh, that'd be asking too much.

No, I don't think so.

Besides, it doesn't look like you came prepared with any creature comforts.

Well, my idea of roughing it's a condo in Aspen.

You don't like the outdoors.

Why don't you come?

Oh, I like the outdoors, all right.

I saw Robert Redford and Jeremiah Johnson three times.

Actually, my husband talked me into letting him make the trip.

I think he may have pushed himself too far this time.

Oh, no, don't worry about him.

Really, if anything was wrong, they would have radioed in by now.

I just hope it's not just one more thing that's going to help tear us apart.

Base camp. Go ahead.

Yeah, Dom.

I didn't wake you, did I?

Did I wake you, Dom?

No.

No, no. You didn't wake me.

What do you want?

I just wanted to hear your voice, Dom.

Tell you everything was all right.

I'll be checking in with you in a couple hours.

We're right on schedule.

See you at the top.

How can you do us a favor?

I'm not gonna carry up that hill if that's what you mean.

Look, you mind going on ahead?

If we gumps are gonna make it up this one, it's important that we do it on our

own. You know what I mean?

Yeah, sure do.

See you all at the top.

Thanks, buddy.

Come on, we can do it.

I'm being followed by a moon shadow, moon shadow, moon shadow.

Leaping and hopping on a moon shadow, moon shadow, moon shadow.

And if I ever lose my hands, lose my plow, lose

my lands.

Yes, if I ever lose my hands.

Well, if I won't have to work no more

And if I ever lose my eyes If my colors all

run dry Yes, if I ever lose my eyes Well,

if I won't have to cry no more Cause

I'm being followed by a moon shadow

Moonshadow, moonshadow, leaping and hopping on a moonshadow.

Moonshadow, moonshadow, and if I ever lose my legs,

I won't moan, no, I won't beg.

Yes, if I ever lose my legs, well, yes,

I won't have to walk no more.

Cause I'm being followed by a moon shadow.

Moon shadow, moon shadow.

And you are one go-getting gimp.

Good climb.

Four more of those and we'll be home free.

No! No!

You know, guys, we're gonna do it.

We're really gonna all make it to the top.

You have your doubts, man?

Yeah, I did.

I guess you don't think of me like that, huh?

Having my doubts and all.

Let me tell you something.

I was so scared I wasn't gonna make it on that last climb, I couldn't even

spit.

Who had spit?

For what it's worth, I just thought y'all might want to know that.

Well, Sarge, coming from you, it means a lot.

Get down! Get down! Get out of sight!

Get down!

Get down!

Stay down!

out there anyway.

Why'd they kill Charlie? Maybe they just saw his baseball cap and figured...

Figured what?

Figured he was a cop. He couldn't walk.

None of us couldn't walk.

Charlie wasn't a threat to anybody.

Come on.

Pack it up. We gotta get moving.

Moving? What the hell are you talking about? Talking about we gotta get off

this rig. Just move it. Man, we're not like you. We can't just get up and run

away.

Now what?

Gotta get off of here and under the trees and get some cover. Yeah, by then

if we're not at the top, Dom and Kate will come in with the chopper.

That's easy for you to do alone, but helping us?

This guy could follow. He could kill us easy.

Yeah, John's right.

We gotta stay put right here and wait for help.

Man, I'll be damned if I want to sit here and play bullseye.

Yeah, like Charlie.

Look, we've made it up. We can make it back down.

That's right, we can do it.

We gotta do it.

All right, give me a lift. It looks pretty smooth. It looks pretty smooth.

Slow it down, you guys. We're losing.

All right, come on. We got to keep moving.

Get down! Get down!

I see him.

Think he's dead? I don't care. Hawk is my friend.

And I can't let him lie down there not knowing, not knowing one way or another.

I gotta do something.

But I can't do this one alone.

Okay. All right.

We know what we gotta do.

But you're not going down. You obviously know how to use one of those, so you

stay up here and cover us, okay?

Dom, he said they'd be on schedule. That's what he said.

Can't you try him on the radio again?

Okay, worrywart.

String? Come here, Mrs. Dom.

String? This is Dom. Come in, will ya?

String?

Come on, get in. We'll go find them. Great.

Come on, come on. Real slow.

Easy.

You all right, Don?

All right, let's move it. All right,

we got it. Go down this way.

Okay.

Hawk?

Easy does it.

Man, what a fuck.

How you doing?

I broke my leg.

Is he alive?

Yeah, but he's hurt bad.

We gotta get you out of here somehow.

Where did you come from? Well,

I may have my limitations, but

brains aren't one of them.

We haven't heard from him since this morning. He said he'd check in.

Well, it could be they're in an area that's cutting off the radio signals.

We'll call if he's in trouble. Don't worry.

Keep it going. Keep coming.

Good job. Good job.

All right.

Right on, man. All right.

All

right,

Dom. We backtracked the whole trail.

Now they had to have taken a different way up.

Or down.

Maybe they are in trouble.

What do you think? Should we call in the sheriff?

Could be.

And maybe we'd better break out the lady.

We'd cover a whole lot more territory that way.

Okay, he's up there. We're down here. Now what?

I figure he's coming back.

There's not much we can do about it, Ethan.

Well, whatever we can do about it, we're gonna have to do it now.

Do what?

Beat him.

Draw him out.

We still got Charlie's gun.

One good bullet left.

What if you miss, man?

Then we use whatever we got.

Just like now.

Just like now.

Sheriff Tuttle, can't let me shine a seat.

Dominic Santini.

My God, this isn't any of our group, is it? A couple of varmint hunters working

the hills.

Oh, thank God.

I mean... It looks like they might have run into the cat man.

The who?

His name is Paul McClellan, and it also looks like he's probably tracking your

group. Tracking the group? What for?

Wait a minute, Sheriff. There was something about the way you said that.

Could be. I'm hoping not.

What's that supposed to mean, Sheriff?

Well, this man McClellan used to be some kind of professor, naturalist or

something like that.

Anyway, he came up here about... Eight years ago to study the Wildcats.

Ended up writing a book, Cry of the Cougar.

Kind of interesting.

About how he had to learn how to live like a cat in order to track and study

them. Yeah, well, that's all well and good, Sheriff, but what's that got to do

with our missing group?

Well, we've also got people missing up here in these mountains. People we think

might have had run-ins with McClellan over his cats.

That's what looks like happened to these hunters.

Well, are you saying that he might be after our guys?

That's what I'm saying.

Kate, what do we got on the scanners?

I've got nothing but a bunch of mountain goats.

Let's roll!

Thank you.

Thank you.

You know what? Sometimes you can be the most stubborn man.

We gotta get you to the hospital.

I'm not going to any hospital.

Hawk, your leg is maybe busted and you got shot with an arrow.

I'm okay.

I was so afraid.

I'm so afraid of losing you.

I don't think we're ever gonna have... to be afraid of anything else again.

I love you.

Think Charlie would mind?

He'd be proud, Rudy.

More than proud.

Ben, you okay?

Yeah, I'm okay, yeah.

You sure?

Uh, well, I do have a cut right here, you know.

Yeah.

Over here, too.

You do?

Well, I guess you guys didn't make it to the top of the mountain, but we sure are

glad to have you back.

Yeah, we made it.

Yeah, we all made it.
