Snow Beast Page #4

is Rob's face.

Ha, ha.

Alright, better?

How's the

picture quality?

Ahh... ugh!

Ahh...

Rob!

Rob!

- [COUGHS]

- Rob, you okay?

Yeah, I think so.

Oh, that hurt.

Yeah, I'll bet it did.

Dad?

Are you guys okay?

Yeah, honey, I'm fine.

I'm fine, sweetheart.

Um, Rob fell in a hole.

I don't suppose there's

a ladder down there, huh?

Real funny.

[COUGHS]

Looks like some kinda

cave or something.

Well, hang tight.

I'll find another way in.

Don't go anywhere.

Rob?

Rob?!

Hey Rob, can you hear me?

Yeah, yeah, I'm over here.

Dad?

Yeah, Emmy.

I think I see something.

Something?

Where?

On the camera.

Dad?

What?

It's...

I don't know what it is.

Emmy, what camera

did you say you saw it on?

Camera 2.

Hey, There's something.

Emmy, I want you to radio me

right away if you see anything else.

Jim.

Take a look.

Ranger said someone went missing

a couple days ago.

He's not missing anymore.

Dad, it's back.

What?

At the cabin?

No, no, but he's moving fast.

He's on camera 3 now.

Camera 2 to 3.

He's coming right toward us.

He's coming home.

And fast.

Emmy, I want you

to describe it to me.

It's a...

is it a bear?

No, it...

it's bigger than that.

Uh... Jim?

Let's get outta here.

Yeah.

Dad?

Dad, he's on camera 4 now.

Come on.

Dad?

Hurry up!

[ROARS]

Okay, I see you.

[ROARS]

[ROARS]

- Hurry, Jim.

- I'm trying.

- Well, go!

- [ROARS]

The rangers said they haven't

heard of any other reports.

And they said there's probably

a bear in the area.

Now, look, there are over thirty

classifications of bears,

and that did not look like

any of 'em.

It's hard to tell what it is.

You didn't get a better look?

It's hard to get a better look

when you're running for your life.

We need to tell theauthorities

about the body...

and the...

whatever it is.

What we need to do is we need

to leave, first thing in the morning.

- Leave?

- Yeah.

That's probably what

drove the lynx away.

No, it's probably

what killed all the lynx.

Yeah, but we need to find out

for sure.

Why?

Why don't I give you a hand

with dinner, sweetheart?

You know what?

There are no lynx.

There's nothing to look at

now the lynx are gone.

Have we ever seen

anything like this?

No, and I don't wanna ever

see anything like that again.

Don't we wanna just

get the dead persons ID?

How's this?

Chicki-bits, okay?

You alright?

We're leaving tomorrow.

First thing.

Good.

This whole thing's

got you scared too, huh?

What?

If I wasn't here,

would you go looking for it?

Hmm, no.

Promise.

Yeah.

Okay.

Okay.

We gonna talk about this?

Is the satellite fixed?

No.

It doesn't really matter since we're

leaving firstthing in the morning anyway.

Okay.

If this creature killed the lynx,

that's critical to our research.

I'm not going back out there

to verify that.

Think about the creature.

If we're the first ones

to discover this, that's huge.

It's only huge if the creature

is something special.

If it's nothing special,

then it doesn't make any difference.

You couldn't identify it.

No, I could not identify it 'cause

I was too busy running away from it.

Rob, you always have these theories

and facts to back it up.

Care to share?

Well, it could be a...

mutation or cross breed.

I mean new species

are discovered all the time.

Oh, really?

New species this size?

I don't think so.

Or it could be a yeti.

I'm sorry.

What?

Well, a yeti.

A snowman.

You know,

the abominable snowman.

- [CHUCKLES]

- No, no, no. Go on.

Well it's not like a bear,

you know, like a mountain bear,

polar bear, whatever.

It's body is just,

is different.

K, I'm not...

I'm not saying that I...

I believe in this yeti thing,

but don't they supposedly

live in the Himalayas?

Well, yeah. Sightings put them

in Tibet and Nepal, but...

they have white fur like we saw

and they run upright.

I mean,

you saw the footage.

It never went down

on all fours. A bear would.

Any creature

that I know of would.

See Jim,

we could be on to something.

I'm not saying

we go look for it.

Why not?

I'm... I'm sorry, but, um...

(COUGHS)

just exactly how did this

yeti get here?

What'd it do?

Hop on a plane,

get some peanuts,

watch a movie?

I don't know.

They're suppose to be mythical.

Ahhhh.

Mythical.

There you go.

Okay, so it's...

it's a distant cousin.

Maybe a snow beast.

I don't care if it's a mutated bear,

I really don't care what it is.

We are leaving, all of us,

first thing in the morning.

Look, we have the video footage.

I mean we could use that, right?

Everyone's happy?

All that video's gonna do

is drag everyone down here...

to make sure it's not a hoax

and steal our discovery...

right from under our noses.

We need more.

Jim...

this could set us for life.

Funding would never

be a question ever again.

Marci, we just found a dead guy

packed away in a snow cave.

I'm not gonna let that happen

to anybody else.

- You've overreacting.

- Oh really?

Are you forgetting that

whatever this thing is,

it was very close to this cabin,

right outside that door?

The snowmobile, remember?

You leaving too?

Yes, he's leaving, you're leaving,

I'm leaving, she's leaving,

we're all leaving

first thing in the morning.

Okay. You two are basing

your decision off of fear.

This is science.

- Leave emotion out.

- You know what?

I am afraid,

but there's nothing wrong with fear.

He's right.

Marci, do you know what

triggers fear?

It's basic survival instinct.

It's either fight or flight.

We are leaving this cabin,

that is not a decision based on emotion.

That is a decision

based on survival.

Rob.

Hey, Rob.

Wake up, let's go.

Huh?

[HEAVY BREATHING]

- [CRASH]

- [SCREAMING]

- [ROAR]

- [SCREAMING]

[HEAVY BREATHING, GASPS]

[ROARS]

- Come on!

- I'm coming.

Where'd she go?

- Hey Dad!

- Marci might be in trouble.

Stay in the cabin. We'll be back

as soon as we can.

Marci?

Where is she?

Marci!

Jim...

Jim, start the truck.

- What?

- Try to start the truck.

Yeah.

Nothing.

Well try again.

Nope.

Alright.

Pop the hood.

It's stuck.

Bad to worse.

[GASPS]

Dad!

What're we gonna do?

Keep an eye on the monitors

and I'll go look for Marci, sweetheart.

She's dead.

We don't know that

for sure, sweetheart.

No, I saw her

on the cameras.

What?

Why did she have to go out there

looking for that thing?

She wanted to find

what was eating the lynx.

He's eaten everything else

around here.

We're all that's left.

Do we have to

talk about this.

Either way,

we're not safe here.

We need to go.

Yeah, get your stuff.

We're leaving baby. Come on.

But the truck won't start.

Then we'll take the snowmobiles.

Come on.

There's only one.

We won't fit.

Then you stay here. I'll take

the snowmobile and get help.

- No, Dad!

- No, I'll go.

Emmy, you will be safer here

and I'm not gonna take the chance...
