Now, this area is pretty much

the same way it was

when the Indians

wandered around in it

That's because of this country's

national parks system centers

It's so much in the the national park system

to protect the wildlife,

the forest from thousands of campers coming here

every year

Now, I know that my opinion don't mean too much

but, I think if we get any further encroachment on

these park areas

we're going to destroy the natural beauty

of what you are looking at

If the government could somehow manage

to protect these areas,

we just might be able to keep this difficult,

completely American landscape like this forever

Never thought you'd make it!

I would'nt miss a Kelly briefing

for the world

Alright. This is the largest

post-season crowd we've ever had

There's no way with this crummy crew

that we're going to handle them

What Kelly's concerned about is we got more backpackers

pitching tents than raccoons in the woods

Okay,

now everybody goes out on patrol

There's no way we can keep an eye

on all those backpackers!

We'll just have to do the best we can

Okay, everyone knows where they're supposed to go.

So, so let's deal with it

Kelly...

My apologies.

Accepted

I'm going up to R4

You know, maybe the two of us should go!

It's really loaded up there, Kell'

Hey, come on

I can use the help

Well now, see, Hayes called in sick

So I'm going to need Gail here

to help hold down the fort

We tried!

- Look, I'll talk to you later for dinner

- Okay

Okay girls, keep it moving

Even though the season's closed,

but that's no reason to lit out

If you get any complaints about cold food

I want to hear about them right away

Dad!

What are those?

Unpaid bills, I believe

Aw, I must have put them in the wrong drawer

I'll take care of them right away

And I've been looking over the wine list

You know, you haven't been charging

nearly enough

Look what you've been paying!

I know what I've been paying

And?

Well, good wine at reasonable prices

brings the customers back

and they've been coming back

I know you've had a really good season, but ...

Allison. For the last two weeks

you've been trying to help me run my business

That's not true

Dad, every man needs

a helping hand

You told me that you were coming up here

to shoot pictures of the changing seasons!

Well, I did. I am.

That's what I've been doing

Yeah, well keeping check on how your old man is doing

is not going to help you meet your deadline

I only got maybe a third to go

I mean, maybe thirty or forty more photographs

I got my publisher's note.

He'll wait

Allison

Why don't you write a how-to book

"How to avoid responsibilities"

Oh hell, I was supposed to meet you

Kelly, I'm sorry

Well, let's go

See you, Walt

It was really sweet of you to come and get me.

I really appreciate it

I should be angry

I mean, I said I'd take you around

but, I just might be needed

I'm an important person around here

Guilty as charged

You know what the problem is?

The problem is you're spoiled

And.. your father did it

How long have you known me?

Oh, a few weeks

Then, why don't you just reserve judgment.

I mean, spoiled is a pretty heavy word

First of all, I don't feel spoiled.

I feel needed

I mean, Dad's taking a lot more

than he can handle so..

I feel just a bit torn between career

and father

You know, I think your father can handle

his end

It's yours you should be worried about

Somehow I always manage to get it together

At last

-We're here

-Finally

We must have walked 10 miles today

We got to do something with this

I want to sit down and get out of these boots

I feel a lot better

What's that?

Theres something out there

Hey. You scared us

Sorry, I didn't mean to

What can we do for you?

Stay out of trouble

What kind of trouble?

Well, just don't take any unnecesary risks

This is a pretty tricky area

How long you girls going to be up here?

We're leaving shortly.

Right after we eat

Don't forget to check-in at the ranger station

before you leave

Don't worry,

we'll be down before it gets dark

Okay

Come on, boy

Well.. better be moving.

It's going to get dark pretty soon

You're right

You start on the tent and I'll get the fire

Okay, but I have to go first

Whenever it comes to cleaning up

you always have to go

Ha, ha

I'll be right back

June?

June?

You never stop shooting, do you?

Most of what I shoot I don't use.

Wrong angle, wrong light

Wrong faces

No, the faces are never wrong

Remember,

every face tells a story

Oh yeah?

What story

does this face tell you?

You're desending..

You hide everything behind

that tight jaw

One day it's going to break

See, it's cracking already

How you doing, Tom?

Hey. Where you going?

Up to R4.

Got a couple of missing girls

Oh?

Come on..

They said they'd be down before dusk.

They have'nt made it yet

Ah, they're not going to make it.

The sun will be down in a little bit

-Hey, you want to go up with him?

-Aha..

-We'll follow you, go ahead

-Okay

They were back there, past the shack.

Maybe a hundred, hundred fifty yards

Let's walk on in

Hey, hold it Tom.

I'm going to check out this shed

What the hell..?

Find anything?

No

How about you?

No, nothing

Tom

Yeah?

How far down are you?

Ah, about quarter of a mile from the shed

There's just nothing here

I can't tell wether a bear came through or not

Well, keep looking

Roger, out

We better keep looking

You all doing a hell of a job

You find anything?

-No sir, not a thing

All right. Keep at it

Remember, we're probably not looking for a full body

Kelly.. what the hell's going on?

A bear

He attacked and killed a girl

That's all we need. A killer bear on the loose

Well, there were two of them.

We haven't found the other one yet

Reckon she made it out?

No, too much blood around here for that

Well, what you want us to do?

Look, I got a bunch of guys up on the western slope

So ah, you guys go on up north

He just might go back up country

Check

Allison.. Where are you going?

Back here to get another angle on the cam

Okay, but don't go too far

Hey, Kell..

-Yeah..

-Parker and I came up empty-handed

Well, look.

Get 'em back out there

Nobody sleeps until we

get that son-of-a-b*tch

Hey, come on Kelly, you can't...

Tom we got a killer on our hands,

now no excuses, please

It was a big one alright

It seems to me..

the girls came across the cub,

got too close,

and the mother attacked

They didn't find any sign of a cub

They didn't find a sign of the bear anywhere

Well, she ate

and buried the rest of her meal for later

Why would she come down?

She came down for food

Oh sh*t. We hauled them up

to the high country last season ...

There is more than enough of food

and fish for them up there

Maybe she had enough fish

Hang on to your sick, Doc

It's not sickness.

She was hungry enough

to eat two women

Bears don't eat people

This one did

Hallitt, do me a favor

Just put it in writing for me

Who's ah.. going to contact the family?
