monster out there there is I saw it

Jennifer and all anybody's doing around

here staring at me like I'm crazy nobody

thinks you're crazy the problem is the

patrolman haven't been able to find

Jennifer yet in fact they can't even

find your tracks you're gonna have to

get a hold of yourself and take us back

out there again I'm not going back

please don't ask me do it please I can

okay

[Applause]

Jennifer

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

[Music]

we have your autograph mr. Siebert

you gave my father one that's a 68

Winter Olympics but then when you won

that gold medal he sold it he did what

did you get for it

don't tell him they didn't keep you

tuned engine thank you were you staying

for the whole winter carnival passing

sure that's just great

well thank you what nice to feel wanted

somewhere coming

[Music]

hey Tony I don't think you recognize

this I think you did he's got something

more important you're doing right now no

good old Tony knows I'm gonna ask him

forego how could he know that he hasn't

heard from you in ages

damn you were right coming up here was

it dumb idea

I never said it was a dumb idea I just

said you might be better off looking for

work outside the scheme business this is

all I know how to do you know what I

think I you know really want a job this

is just an excuse to back out and still

feel right about it

[Music]

this wasn't an animal and it wasn't

human either

well it certainly narrows it down did

the other men see it I don't think so

you didn't ask them if they'd seen it

but it told me they thought Heidi was

imagining things they couldn't possibly

think that of you one word from you it

would be all over town in a minute well

it's a fine time to have a panic just

before I went to Carnival I'm not hiding

anything I didn't tell them in because I

wanted to get them out of the area as

quick as I could

not because you have a vested interest

in the future of this resort Emma I'm

gonna try to spell it out for you very

simple there's something very strange

and very dangerous out there and if I

thought it would stay up there fine we

could designate the area Avalanche prone

and you seal it on well if it were going

to come any nearer wouldn't it have done

so by now what do you base that on you

don't know anything about it I mean you

don't know how long it's been up there

when it got there it could have got

there last night

just in time till the Winter Carnival

what are you being so facetious about

fact I didn't think what do you want us

to do report it to Sheriff parody

immediately report what - sheriff parody

can you eat yourself describing what you

saw what you thought you saw Tony we

need this carnival it's what keeps the

tourists coming here all year round no

down needs it I know all that well then

let's just hold our fire until the

carnival is over I agree with you let's

designate the area restricted tell the

maintenance crew don't put up a slew of

signs what do you tell Jennifer's

parents

Tony but I'm not being insensitive just

realistic you know what I think I think

it was an avalanche bodies do disappear

in avalanches you know you forgetting

about Heidi I'm not worried about Heidi

I certainly don't have to worry about

you Tony

do I

after all you are migraines

[Music]

Charlie you can Lucas you're a parody

for me oh all right

running it crisis can you feel it great

together have a drink later on and

sorry I'm late

how's that any superstar your

grandmother decided that a living legend

is just what this place needs

man some coffee please slice some more

tea mrs. Seibert yes thank you - real

happy what do you tell me how precious

comes with inheriting all this mm-hmm

I must tell you I'm very impressed you

really built it into something why thank

you thank you for giving God a job

that's all in our favor but he told me

he had a hard time getting you up here

how come

well I only get two weeks off a year you

know and I had my heart set on a warm

climate hmm and I I was afraid of seeing

you again after all this time everything

we had what did you think would happen I

don't know I've been having those

fantasies about you for the last year

lovely good or bad not bad friend of

mine and doctor said it when a woman

start having fantasies about a man she

didn't marry she's not getting enough

realities from the man she did hmm I

think your friend is talking to you

about sexual realities and your not

reality is the problem you know Tony if

I were an archaeologist or something it

wouldn't be so bad but I'm a reporter

television is all here and now it's

exciting it's challenging and

stimulating that's why I am all day then

I go home to gar it's the winter of 68

that's what he is how long has it been

like that do you know that he hasn't

been upon his agency won the gold medals

that's incredible huh maybe coming up

he'll change all that not his fault

entirely 25% of the world watched him

win those medals the president called

him he was on magazine covers he did

television commercials using hero for an

instant and whatever it takes to go back

to being an ordinary mortal Karnas

nallett it's really a form of paralysis

well as I see the problem doctor you're

still in love with a man when I could

fall out of love with him it'd be so

much easier

you know marriage can survive a lot of

things anybody can't survive lack of

respect and I've lost about all the

respect I've ever had for him he didn't

have wait a minute

know what you need you need to have

something to say it loves you and I do

you know I always have

[Music]

I saw that you know kissing my wife but

hey guess who's been elected to crown

queen Betty Jo yours truly

did uh mm-hmm gar are you still a good

marksman you mean on the rifle range no

not necessarily

what do you mean okay whatever I tell

you you'd have to promise me not to

repeat it to anybody okay you're serious

aren't you

mm-hmm that even Ellen especially Ellen

why especially heaven because she's a

news person

okay Tony meet me in an hour at the

swimming pool okay I better take the boy

home well mr. Cochran I appreciate your

help

Thanks

[Applause]

[Music]

sounds of its trembling utility what did

you tell me what it is do you remember a

new story few months back some hikers

claimed that one of their party young

girl was carried off by a 12-foot hairy

monster yeah Bigfoot do you believe in

such a creature I really don't know but

you know they say that there are

hundreds of them roaming around all over

the country who says that's a people

right after that story broke Helen did a

special on the Bigfoot controversy so

she traveled all over the country

interviewed dozens of people who

supposedly had seen one of them as one

of them been seen around here is that

what your crisis was all that well I saw

something go it was monstrous it wasn't

an animal it wasn't human either and now

you find that you're too rational and

too realistic to allow yourself to

believe it was something else is that it

little bit of all and that's why you

hired me to go out and blow its brains

out right talked about friendship give

it a something there I didn't give you a

job as a hired killer done that's

fortunate you were only thinking of this

town that you loved so very much you're

damn right I am

that thing is dangerous car thing just

because it doesn't look like you and me

measure this thing and then it's alright

to go out and kill it in cold blood

right and how do you know it's dangerous

everyone who's ever been in contact with

one says exactly the same thing it

stares at you for a few seconds and then

it disappears again into the wilderness

except when it feels like carrying off a

young girl that story turned out to be a

hoax I'm not talking about that story

I'm talking about one of our guests

I found her jacket the other day it

looked like it'd been ripped off her

body and it was blood-stained I'd

leave that thing killed

[Music]

we seen my husband no evidence

[Music]

Jimmy are you looking for me no Sheriff

Faraday needs to see Tony right away you

have any idea where he might be

no I haven't Oh Evan it seems as if both

our men are missing something wrong

nothing you want to hear about and look

I got to get right back out there as

soon as he shows up you tell him the

sheriff wants him to come right out to

the old Fairchild farm

[Music]

[Music]

Jeff I went out the real lodge they

don't know where Tony is I talked to

mrs. real told her as soon as he shows

up send him up here right away you make

anything of this

[Applause]

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

[Music]

[Laughter]

[Music]

[Music]

donate I've got a saw something up there

where

[Music]

come on we got to get to the barn

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

[Music]

I call I got here as fast as I could

scar Seberg on his ski school director

sheriff Perry what's up well I think we

found that missing girl

Claire Cochran's boy found her inside

dead I understand she was a guest at the

lodge I was hoping you could help me

identify unless this here somewhere

maybe I'll recognize her when I see her

face she doesn't have

[Music]

it's pretty obvious she wasn't murdered

and my human-beings commit murder in

whatever did that wasn't even halfway

him what do you think Tony here can you

help me is that her as her what do you

base that on color every suit how would

you know the color of her clothes

it matches the jacket I found we found

the jacket were on the north slope we

were looking for out there yesterday

her friend thought she might add an

accident so the patrollers told me but

they didn't say anything of what a jack

we spread out in different directions

call but you came together again that's

right so why didn't you show them the

jacket what why didn't you show them the

jacket told me I left her where I found

it as a marker

is that what you want to talk to me

about that's right I wanted to see you

about it first I didn't want to put the

town in a panic and what about this

stuff Heidi told the patrol about a

monster

Heidi only saw the footprints I saw the

thing itself all right tell me about it

[Music]

well I can certainly understand your

grandmother not what honey it is to get

out you know she may be right about it

being a grizzly winter attacks are not

all that rare you know coal it's not a

grizzly what do you think it is gar

thinks is one of those legendary

creatures called Bigfoot that's right

the legends I've heard about Bigfoot put

him pretty firmly in the Pacific

Northwest

not necessarily chef Alan tells me there

there are hundreds other roaming around

all over the country

Alan oh my wife she's a TV journalist

and a while back she did a special on

the Bigfoot controversy did they settle

anything nah not what you a sheriff

would consider hard evidence but she did

run across a couple of interesting

points she went up to Washington State

and met with an anthropologist he showed

her oh I think she said 150 photographs

hand-on footprints up so-called Bigfoots

now if you want to know more about it I

suggest you go and talk to Helen

[Music]

whatever did that to that girl

less people would get in this way I'm

always gonna stay alive right so we're

gonna say that the girl was mauled to

death by a crazed grizzly out of

hibernation that's the story I'd like

for you to tell you why it mr. Sieber

all right Sheriff I will for now that is

thank you

tomorrow morning when he gets daylight

I'd like for the three of us to sneak

out here

track that thing down and kill it

yeah I'm proud of you I'm sorry I let it

drip the flowerpot well we both can't

let that happen I should have been there

when you needed me all these years you

find the world it was sure um gotten

lost and we never had good enough a

reason to get back on my skis yeah

how was it

I stood on top of this mountain

look down

and I saw myself instead of flying down

I was falling they're completely out of

control but once I got skiing it was

great it was really great Dylan

I should have told you a long time ago

why I never skied after 68 I think it's

because I saw too many champions become

husbands I didn't want to be a husband

so I figured if I not skiing and more

I'd stay on top but I didn't

this things don't happen that way they

don't I've been such a fool on him oh

not a fool my love we're all afraid of

failing no not you oh yes me I never

knew that

and showed you have you been keeping

things around me don't you kiss me

I thought you'd never ask

silent homage to Buster's

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

art

[Applause]

I stole the sheriff I was gonna catch up

we're bringing in

[Applause]

[Applause]

[Music]

I believe whatever stated beyond the

winter

yeah I'm amazed I'm shocked

[Music]

huh many things to watch okay

you mind if I ask you a yes-or-no

question

level depends as a friend fucking more

as a time-saver though because if your

answer is yes there's no sense in us

talk did you know you were killing the

wrong thing all I know for sure mr.

Seberg is that something came charging

out of that brush at me and it wasn't

humor are you that sure that it was the

wrong thing well 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 look sure if the people in this

town are in danger don't you think it's

your responsibility to warn them even if

it means calling off the window carnival

look mrs. Seibert yeah what is it that

I'm gonna warn the people against

man-beast legend whose very existence is

hotly disputed by home well by the US

Army Corps of Engineers for one

I wouldn't know this but I talked to

Washington this morning they said that

they don't have one piece of evidence

nothing they've seen and heard that

would stand up on their scientific

scrutiny unquote is that what you want

me to warn the people against I honestly

expect them to believe it an unseasonal

bear is one thing for the legend is

we're just bad a legend

things could have been assigned it in

the northwest so that's hundred

here's their verified recordings of

attacks

I had a man on my television show just

recently where they threw a rocket one

in irrelevant but I don't think we've

seen it I don't think I agree but enough

happenings around here all the tanks is

one person who doesn't believe it was a

bear you'll have a stampede on your

hands that's just the point

I don't want these hills full of people

shooting at each other now you don't

believe it was that bad idea no it was

not a man what do you think it was I

don't know a mutant of some kind

something left over from the last ice

age I don't know whatever it is it's

still out there and it's a killer what

do you suggest we do what you told my

husband we should do in the first place

but this time that we need do it that's

right and you can count on me sure what

you're saying is you want us to go up

there just the two listen destroy this

thing that's right just between us

[Music]

just the four of us everybody ready

[Music]

[Music]

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

[Music]

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

head back to the camper

[Music]

[Music]

well he knows where we're at

maybe we gotta move camp no we're gonna

stay right here

settle down and wait for him isn't that

better than cruising around on the off

chance we might cite him he's got a

point

night two at a time I said the four of

us didn't I you did look you two go

first I'll make dinner

John okay would you all decent
