Snow Beast Page #5

- of losing another member of my team.

- Jim!

Rob, work on the satellite,

I can't do that.

Get it working, call town

and tell 'em I'm on my way.

Tranq gun's gone,

but I found some extra darts.

You won't be able to use 'em

from far away.

I hope

I don't have to use 'em at all.

- Sure I can't talk you outta this.

- No, you can't talk me outta this.

All right, well,

you got two ways to go.

You could follow the road down

or go straight through the forest.

If I go through the forest,

how much time does that save?

Four, maybe five miles,

faster.

- Take this.

- Thanks.

Dad?

Hey, hey.

I'll be back.

Please be careful.

I love you too.

If anything happens to me,

I want you to get her to safety.

- No matter what.

- I will.

You think

he'll be all right?

Yeah...

yeah, he'll be fine.

Come on, come on.

[ROAR]

Uhhhhh!

[BOOM]

Dad?

[GROWL]

Jim.

Jim!

[GROWL]

Dad.

Dad, are you there?

Dad, please answer me.

What're you doing?

Geez.

I gotta do something.

It's not gonna work.

If it would've, you and Dad

already would've done it.

Well there's no harm in trying.

What about my dad?

I'm not leaving here

without him.

- Emmy, we don't know he's alive.

- We don't know if he's dead either.

Would you keep it down?

You're right.

He may be alive.

You really think so?

Looks like we'll have to

wait it out and see.

Wait?

Wait where?

Let's get back

to the cabin.

Come on.

Grab the first aid kit.

It's in the back.

Whoa.

It's just in case.

Come on.

[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC]

[GROWL]

It's snowing

harder now.

We'll stay here tonight.

Hopefully

somebody comes to help.

And my dad?

We'll see.

- I'm gonna go after him.

- Emmy, no.

- I'm going with or without you.

- No you're not.

You said it yourself,

he might be fine.

You don't believe that.

We need to try

and look for him.

- Emmy, we can't just...

- This is my father...

- we're talking about!

- And my friend!

Look, Emmy, I understand, I do,

but we can't do anything tonight.

It's not safe,

especially when it's dark.

I'm sorry.

Okay, it's ready.

Emmy?

I'm not hungry.

Okay, um...

I'll set a plate aside for later.

It's loud...

the wind.

Yeah.

It gets that way out here.

I wonder how much snow

we have already.

- [ROARS]

- [SCREAMS]

Upstairs.

Hurry! Hurry!

- What about you?

- I'm right behind you.

[ROAR]

[GROWLING]

- Help me with this.

- Is this going to stop him?

I hope so.

Can we jump?

Where do you

suggest we go?

[GROWL]

[GROWL]

[GROWL]

[GROWLS]

[BANG]

[ROARING, BANGING,

GROWLING]

[GASPS]

[GROWLS]

Ah!

[ROARING,

POUNDING, GROWLING]

Ah!

[HEAVY BREATHING]

- Here.

- Thank you.

What if it's waiting for us

when we go out?

Well, if he is like most predators,

it's more active at night.

Hunting.

Yeah.

What about day?

He... he seems

plenty active then.

I guess we'll find out.

I'm not leaving here till morning.

You're suppose to be

all brave and comforting.

Why?

So I don't get scared.

Sorry.

My dad would try to say something

to make this seem all right.

No offense, but...

I really wish he were here.

Yeah, me too.

What if my dad...

What am I suppose to do...

when I go home?

What do you mean?

What's my life

suppose to be like now?

I wish I knew.

You'll figure it out.

Guess I'll have to.

You know,

your dad maybe okay?

Yeah.

[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC]

[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC]

[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC]

You think

he's still out there?

I don't see anything.

Come on,

help me move this.

Remember how you said animals

can get close to their prey...

- and attack without a sound?

- Yeah.

Like it never knew

he was there.

Right.

It's okay.

- Seriously?

- Jeez.

So much for being safe here.

He ate your dinner.

Better than eating me.

We can't stay here anymore.

How we gonna get outta here.

On foot.

It's not going to be safe.

We don't have much

of a choice.

You know where it's cave is,

right?

- Yeah.

- That's where my dad would be.

- I don't like where this is going.

- We have to try.

Try what?

To go into that thing's cave and ask

if we can take his next meal?

Emmy, it's gonna be crazy enough

just going out there for help.

Even away from the cave

no one's chances are good.

You said so yourself,

my dad might be okay.

I was...

trying to be comforting.

You know what I kept

thinking about last night?

If my dad was alive

and we left him here to die...

If we get out of here,

that's what I'm gonna think about...

every night

for the rest of my life.

Rob, please.

[SIGH]

If we do this,

we're gonna need an offence.

We have to lure the creature

away from his cave...

without him surprising us.

We have to trap him

or kill him,

anything to keep him

from coming after us.

We'll use the tranq darts.

When he comes

after the food,

we'll take him down.

You think it'll really work?

In theory.

What's our backup plan?

Run.

And hope we can outrun

each other.

You know,

all this food wafting together...

smells really disgusting.

Yeah, well, I hope that thing

likes it.

Why do I have to carry it?

'Cause I got the gun.

His cave's just a few minutes

that way.

Where we gonna hide

so it doesn't eat us first?

Right there.

Thanks, for doing this.

Yeah, well,

don't thank me yet.

Even if Dad...

Thanks for trying.

Well, I think he'd be crazy angry

with you for doing this,

then really touched.

- He's my dad.

- I know.

It just seems like...

things haven't been the best

between you two.

He's trying too hard.

Ever thought about

giving him a break?

I would, but...

he doesn't listen.

My mom

walked out on us both.

Not just because

she didn't love him, okay,

she didn't care about me either.

And...

and I'm okay with that.

He just didn't get it.

I'm still waiting for him

to catch on.

Maybe you should.

[ROAR]

Where's he coming from?

I don't know.

[GROWL]

[ROAR]

[ROAR]

When are the darts

gonna kick in?

I don't know.

[ROAR]

[ROAR]

Crap.

He's heavier than I thought.

It's the last one.

[ROARING]

How long is it gonna last?

I don't know.

- You don't know?

- I don't know.

Let's go.

Do you think

he's coming yet?

I don't know.

Come on.

Let's hurry.

Marci?

Emmy?

Let's go find your dad.

Jim!

Dad?

- Dad, can you hear me?

- He's still alive.

- Pull the Line.

- Uhh.

Uhh.

Emmy,

get the warming pads.

Here, Dad.

These will help warm you up.

Marci?

She didn't make it.

- Come on.

- And that thing?

I put four darts in it.

Slowed it down but

I couldn't stop it.

- Where is it?

- [GROWL]

- Uhh.

- Can you walk?

I hope I can run.

[ROAR]

Go!

Go!

Uhh.

[ROAR]

Ahh!

Marci?

Come on, Dad,

we gotta go.

[ROAR]

Ahh...!

Uhhh.

- [GROWL]

- Ahh...!

- Come on, Dad.

- Uhhh.

Come on, Dad.

Get up, we gotta go.

[ROAR]

We're not gonna make it.

Don't say that, Dad.

We're going to be fine.

Come on.

If that thing

catches up to us,

I want you just to keep running

and don't look back.

- Shut up, Dad!

- Emmy, do it!

Come on, hurry!
