00:04:09Well, she's working on it.
00:04:11Well, she's a brave person to come here at all.
00:04:13She cannot be comfortable in those poor quarters I have provided.
00:04:18This is a hard, rough place built for men.
00:04:22You'll be very good to us, sir.
00:04:24Tell me, Dr. Rawlison, you are content with this land,
00:04:27with the people, with our customs?
00:04:30I think so.
00:04:32I know the Himalayas well through climbing and now this work.
00:04:35You're a climber to the Great Peaks.
00:04:38I was, but I had an accident.
00:04:40Stupid one, but a bad one, so I gave it up.
00:04:42Now your wife comes with you to make sure of that?
00:04:45Helen comes with me as a colleague.
00:04:47We work together.
00:04:49And the other party who is coming, how long have you waited?
00:04:52Six days overdue.
00:04:53Your wife, Dr. Rawlison, she knows they are coming?
00:04:57Coming to help you with your work.
00:05:00Of course.
00:05:01There will be little left for them to do now that your work is almost completed.
00:05:05They want to see things for themselves.
00:05:07Are you permitted?
00:05:08The other men, they are also sent by your foundation, or are they not?
00:05:14They are not.
00:05:18You know something about them?
00:05:20I know. They will be here tonight.
00:05:22I have sent guides to meet them.
00:05:24You're not pleased.
00:05:25Of course. This is wonderful news, but I had no idea they'd been seen.
00:05:29They have not been seen.
00:05:31But they will be here in a few hours.
00:05:41Helen?
00:05:42Yes?
00:05:43specimen jars.
00:05:44The old boy has just made us a present.
00:05:48To pick up his collection of dried flogs.
00:05:49That's wonderful, Foxy. Does John know?
00:05:51He's over there now, waiting for jars.
00:05:53And why this sudden generosity from the llama?
00:05:56I don't know. He wants to get rid of us.
00:05:58If so, I'm ready.
00:06:00Sooner we get out of here, out of this infernal country with its cold and bad smells and the superstition.
00:06:05Take it easy, Foxy. Take it easy.
00:06:07And the misery and the ignorance and this awful, awful cold.
00:06:10And the Tibetan tea.
00:06:15Say, dear, are you busy?
00:06:17Just a few diagrams to finish wine.
00:06:18Just be an angel and take these over to John for me, will you?
00:06:21Yes.
00:06:22Then I can get on with the re-indexing of the new specimens.
00:06:26That's all fair.
00:06:27Foxy.
00:06:28Hmm?
00:06:29I have another arm.
00:06:30Of course.
00:06:31Sorry.
00:06:32I hope, sir, I can get a few more details about these.
00:06:35The approximate elevation in which they can be found...
00:06:37Dr. Lawrence.
00:06:38What do you know about those men who are coming?
00:06:42Know about them?
00:06:44Not very much.
00:06:45I had a message from them suggesting we meet here.
00:06:48From their leader, a man called Friend.
00:06:50That's right, Tom Friend. You've heard of him?
00:06:52He passed this way before, some months ago.
00:06:55But he did not come to me as his customary.
00:06:57Perhaps he didn't wish to imperson you.
00:06:59Now he returns.
00:07:01What is this man searching for?
00:07:08Well...
00:07:09Before I can say that, I must have a talk to him.
00:07:12You can't say now.
00:07:16Dr. Ollison,
00:07:18why do you want to help these people?
00:07:21I suppose for the pursuit of knowledge.
00:07:24Whose knowledge?
00:07:25U.S. alone?
00:07:27All human knowledge.
00:07:29Human knowledge?
00:07:31Is that reason enough?
00:07:35I'm afraid we're taking up your time, sir.
00:07:36I don't know what's happened to Fox.
00:07:38He's not coming.
00:07:39She is.
00:07:40Your wife.
00:07:41She's approaching now.
00:07:43But how do you know this?
00:07:44I've been hearing.
00:07:45Is that all, sir?
00:07:46Here one develops the senses, all of them.
00:07:48There's time for an awareness of many things.
00:07:51Have you not found it, sir?
00:07:54Yeah, okay.
00:07:56Come in.
00:07:57You're welcome, my dear lady.
00:07:59Foxy told me to bring you.
00:08:00Ah, yes, thank you.
00:08:01We've just been presented with some very remarkable...
00:08:02No, Foxy told me.
00:08:03We have not met many times, Mrs. Rollison.
00:08:04No.
00:08:05No, we haven't.
00:08:06I've talked much to your husband, but not to you.
00:08:07I'm sorry.
00:08:08I've had quite a lot of work to do.
00:08:09I've been concerned for your comfort, but your husband reassures me.
00:08:10Of course.
00:08:11I feel we've put you to a lot of inconvenience.
00:08:12You are welcome to remain under my protection while your husband is on his climbing expedition.
00:08:16Climbing?
00:08:17To the peaks.
00:08:18Now, unfortunately, my duties make this meeting also a short run.
00:08:22I must leave you now.
00:08:23I'm sorry.
00:08:24I'm sorry.
00:08:25I'm sorry.
00:08:26I'm sorry.
00:08:27I'm sorry.
00:08:28I'm sorry.
00:08:29I'm sorry.
00:08:30I'm sorry.
00:08:31I'm sorry.
00:08:32I've had quite a lot of work to do.
00:08:33I've been concerned for your comfort, but your husband reassures me.
00:08:34Of course.
00:08:35I feel we've put you to a lot of inconvenience.
00:08:36You are welcome to remain under my protection while your husband is on his climbing expedition.
00:08:39Climbing?
00:08:40To the peaks.
00:08:41Now, unfortunately, my duties make this meeting also a short run.
00:08:44What climbing expedition, John?
00:08:46That was deliberate.
00:08:47I guess I hadn't told you.
00:08:48Well, for heaven's sake, tell me now.
00:08:49Helen, I was going to explain to you before, but they may not have turned up.
00:08:50They?
00:08:51It's a party led by a man named Friend.
00:08:52They should be here in a few hours.
00:08:53And you'd arrange to go with them?
00:08:54Professionally.
00:08:55Oh, Helen, please.
00:08:56Oh, please.
00:08:57There was no point in talking about it before.
00:08:58I haven't even told Foxy.
00:08:59Thanks.
00:09:00It's nice to be practiced.
00:09:01Oh, you know I didn't mean that.
00:09:02And what about the Botanical Foundation?
00:09:03Have you kept them in the dark, too?
00:09:04This has nothing to do with the foundation.
00:09:05Only that they've financed us here, and they're waiting for our reports, and we're
00:09:06already behind schedule.
00:09:07Yes, I know, sir.
00:09:08And without being a bore about loyalty and all, don't you think we ought to get on
00:09:09with it?
00:09:10Helen, please.
00:09:11Helen, please.
00:09:12Try and understand.
00:09:13I am trying.
00:09:14But at this time of the year, with fresh snow falling, to go peak-plowing just to...
00:09:17They may not even arrive.
00:09:18Oh, you know.
00:09:19I'm not going to get back to the old Foxy.
00:09:20I'm going to get back to the old Foxy.
00:09:21Thanks.
00:09:22It's nice to be bracketed together.
00:09:23Oh, you know I didn't mean that.
00:09:24And what about the Botanical Foundation?
00:09:25Have you kept them in the dark, too?
00:09:26This has nothing to do with the foundation.
00:09:27Only that they've financed us here, and they're waiting for our reports, and we're
00:09:28already behind schedule.
00:09:29I know, sir.
00:09:30Without being a bore about loyalty and all, don't you think we ought to get on with it?
00:09:33Helen, please.
00:09:35Try and understand.
00:09:36I am trying.
00:09:37Why are you falling to go peak-plowing just to...
00:09:38They may not even arrive.
00:09:42Why did we come up here, John?
00:09:43Why?
00:09:44Right up here so far out of the way.
00:09:46It wasn't just to search for rare plants, was it?
00:09:50Was it, John?
00:09:51No.
00:09:52Somehow I knew.
00:09:54I kept remembering the things you wrote once.
00:09:56I said nothing.
00:09:57I didn't want to remind you.
00:09:58I'd hoped you'd forgotten...
00:10:00Your theories about the high valleys, about what might be there.
00:10:05Yes, darling.
00:10:06You're getting upset about something...
00:10:07I'm getting to be a tiresome work, John.
00:10:08I don't want you even to do this.
00:10:09But that we don't...
00:10:10I can't bear it, John.
00:10:11I don't want you to go into danger, into the... into the mountains to look for that creature.
00:10:16You're going to be a lot better than are you hearing?
00:10:17Why...
00:10:18I don't want you to be a little about, John.
00:10:19Where are we going?
00:10:20You're not going to get the new fields to look for that creature.
00:10:21Why are we going away?
00:10:22You're going to be a little bit more.
00:10:23I'm getting ready.
00:10:24Good-bye, sir.
00:10:25I'm getting ready.
00:10:26I'm getting ready.
00:10:27I can't wait.
00:10:28You're putting me here.
00:10:29You're going to...
00:10:30You're coming to that.
00:10:31I was getting ready.
00:10:33I'm getting ready...
00:10:34What's all this in aid of?
00:10:50Oh, it's just one of their regular ceremonies.
00:10:52Do you think they've chosen tonight on purpose?
00:10:55Maybe.
00:10:56Hey, come inside and shut the door.
00:10:58How'd you expect me to keep anything warm from one of the walls out?
00:11:01How's it coming?
00:11:01I'm fixing enough for an extra pall.
00:11:03Oh, there may be even more of them.
00:11:04Hey, you're not going to ask me to feed his porters, too, are you?
00:11:07They're an awful waste of food if they don't turn up.
00:11:10You know something, Foxy?
00:11:11Nothing would give me more pleasure than to have to waste it.
00:11:21They're here.
00:11:26Let me know how many.
00:11:30Uh, you the head man here?
00:11:33You speak English?
00:11:34Where's our guard?
00:11:36Hey, Coussang.
00:11:37He's picking up the rear.
00:11:39You know Dr. Rolison?
00:11:42Rolison.
00:11:42Tom Friend.
00:11:45Oh, hi.
00:11:46Hey, Coussang.
00:11:48I'm here, mister.
00:11:49Get the stores under cover.
00:11:50Take care of the ponies.
00:11:53Is this it our honor?
00:11:55I don't know.
00:11:56Hey, Jock, stick close.
00:11:57These guys will eat you.
00:11:58Mr. Friend, I'm very glad to meet you.
00:11:59Dr. Rolison, I presume.
00:12:01It's a great honor.
00:12:01We've almost given you up.
00:12:02Well, we ran into a little bad weather.
00:12:04We half expected you to be gone.
00:12:05This is Ed Shelley.
00:12:06Mr. Shelley.
00:12:07Hi, I'm Jock, our photographer.
00:12:08How do you do?
00:12:09Oh, and this is Peter Fox, my assistant.
00:12:11Well, I hope you're all hungry.
00:12:12There's a banquet upstairs.
00:12:13Beef stew.
00:12:14Lead me to it.
00:12:14I can eat a yak.
00:12:15I'd better warn you about Ed's table manners.
00:12:17Oh, and this is my wife, Helen, Tom Friend, Mr. Shelley, and Andrew...
00:12:21Andrew McNeil.
00:12:21Sorry.
00:12:21How do you do?
00:12:22Well, there are four portions between three of you, sir.
00:12:24Come on up, everybody.
00:12:25Take that to work, ma'am.
00:12:26Come on, Jock.
00:12:27This is home cooking.
00:12:30You didn't tell me about your wife.
00:12:32Don't we always work together?
00:12:33It's hardly a trip for a woman.
00:12:35No, she stays here with Fox.
00:12:36I've already fixed that.
00:12:37Well, fine.
00:12:38If I can't.
00:12:39If you come.
00:12:41Dr. Rolison, this is the expedition that's not going to fail.
00:12:44We're going to find that creature they call the Yeti.
00:12:46Oh, yes.
00:12:50Can we stable under there, under your living quarters?
00:12:53That's what he was built for.
00:12:54Kusang, Chakpochev.
00:12:56Chakpochev.
00:12:58Chakpochev.
00:12:59Hype.
00:13:04We covered a lot of miles today.
00:13:06How many, Tom?
00:13:06About ten.
00:13:08Ten?
00:13:08My suit says about a hundred.
00:13:11Over all the rockiest tracks in this stinking country.
00:13:14Ed here objects to deprimity.
00:13:16Come on, move over.
00:13:17Deprimity.
00:13:18I don't know what's worst about it.
00:13:20The stink of everything, or the ignorant natives, or the filthy food they eat, or what.
00:13:25You tell me.
00:13:26I find this country rather attractive.
00:13:28Attractive?
00:13:29Oh, come on, Ed.
00:13:29Knock it off, will you?
00:13:30Well, even what we're going to look for is abominable.
00:13:32That's what they call it, isn't it?
00:13:33The abominable snowman?
00:13:35It doesn't exist.
00:13:37Helen, you don't subscribe to your husband's views, Mrs. Robinson.
00:13:40No.
00:13:41And about what this creature might be?
00:13:43No, I don't.
00:13:43Neither do I.
00:13:44Oh.
00:13:45Skeptics right in camp.
00:13:46You know, when the whole evidence of these theories is based on a few footprints in the snow.
00:13:51Have you ever seen these footprints, Mr. Popper?
00:13:52I have not.
00:13:54I have.
00:13:57Well, on the Rakoposhi Glacier.
00:14:00With a climbing party two years ago, I found a line of fresh footprints, like human ones, only bigger and far broader.
00:14:13You didn't see what made them.
00:14:15I followed them for a mile or so, and then they finished on a bare rock face.
00:14:20It was just long enough to get a sense of what I might be tracking.
00:14:26You're an impressionable man, Mr. McNeil.
00:14:29Well, this is the sort of impression you don't forget.
00:14:31Also, there have been photographs, Mrs. Rolison.
00:14:341951 Shipton expedition took pictures of similar footprints.
00:14:37They were published in the Times.
00:14:38They could have been made by a bear.
00:14:40But they weren't.
00:14:41Look, in your message, you said something about having special evidence.
00:14:44So this seems to be a good time to produce it.
00:14:45Hmm.
00:14:47This came into my possession a short time ago.
00:14:50Solid silver, native craftsmanship.
00:14:53Maybe you can read what it says around there.
00:14:55Translate it.
00:15:07The protection of the great...
00:15:10No, not chamber.
00:15:12The powerful beings is besought by the Lama of Romeruk.
00:15:18This monastery.
00:15:19That's right.
00:15:20This was stolen from here some years ago by a German explorer.
00:15:24The powerful beings, that probably means local gods.
00:15:27Hmm.
00:15:27Now watch.
00:15:28The ornamentation hides the join, but it finally does unscrew, and you see...
00:15:34Tooth.
00:15:36Ah.
00:15:37In the Middle Ages, it was the usual thing to preserve bits of tooth and bones
00:15:41from the bodies of saints.
00:15:42That's what that is, a reliquary.
00:15:44But, of course, you'd know more about that, doctor.
00:15:47It's unbelievable.
00:15:49The size of it.
00:15:51Seems to be genuine.
00:15:53It is.
00:15:54I had it sectioned and tested.
00:15:57It's like the canine tooth of an ape, say, a gorilla.
00:16:00Excuse me.
00:16:00It's about three times as big.
00:16:02Let me see.
00:16:03Uh, I've read your views, doctor, on the possible size and bone structure of these creatures.
00:16:10That would fit, wouldn't it?
00:16:11Yes, it would.
00:16:12But it's not a fossil.
00:16:13It's living ivory.
00:16:14Hey, what's this, a war dance?
00:16:33These people are Buddhists.
00:16:34They don't believe in war.
00:16:35Holy men doing a holy dance.
00:16:37Hey, this is good.
00:16:38John, get a picture.
00:16:39They don't allow it.
00:16:40You sure they don't mean trouble?
00:16:56You can take my word for it.
00:16:57Yeah, well, I hope you're right.
00:16:59If I get my responsibilities, I don't want to find one of my porter's knife, pardon me.
00:17:03Look, friend, there isn't a bit of the harm anyone or anything.
00:17:06Okay, just so they know it.
00:17:07How about some more stew?
00:17:08Here, give me your plate.
00:17:08Just a minute.
00:17:09Did I hear right?
00:17:10You're not taking the porters with you.
00:17:11Not beyond this point.
00:17:12You're doing this climb alone?
00:17:14No, it's just the five of them.
00:17:15John, man.
00:17:15You better tell us your plans.
00:17:17Well, so far, no expedition's ever gotten near this thing they call a yeti.
00:17:20You know why?
00:17:20They'll tramp it up to the peaks with 50 or 60 porters behind them like an invading army.
00:17:25It's enough to scare off any living creature.
00:17:27We don't want that.
00:17:28So they'll be just the five of them.
00:17:29And what do we live on?
00:17:30Vitamin pills?
00:17:31Ha, ha, tell him, Tom.
00:17:33We've been up here before, Ed and I.
00:17:34Last summer.
00:17:35Yes, I heard that.
00:17:35We took 50 men loaded to the limit up the North Valley, salted away supplies and stores
00:17:39in places where they'd be safe from the snows, rock caves and so on, all along the route.
00:17:44And do you think these supplies will still be there with 50 men sharing the secret?
00:17:47They don't.
00:17:48We took turns.
00:17:49One of them marched them on while the other stayed behind and hid the batch that they'd just unloaded.
00:17:53Single-handed.
00:17:54It was murder, but we did it.
00:17:55The North Valley.
00:17:56It's the steepest, the crookedest, and blocked by the worst ice folds you ever saw.
00:17:59Like the mountains of the moon.
00:18:01If I were a creature that wanted to lurk away from man, that's where I'd lurk.
00:18:04John, this is completely irresponsible.
00:18:06Without porters, without a guide.
00:18:07Uh, correction, ma'am, we are taking along one local guide.
00:18:10Nima Kusang, you saw him down below.
00:18:12One guide.
00:18:13And how did he, he qualify for this unique position?
00:18:15Because he's seen a yeti, ma'am.
00:18:20He's seen one?
00:18:21This is the time to do a dark winter.
00:18:23For the heavy snows forcing anything, it's up there down valley for food, right?
00:18:26Yes, but...
00:18:27It's going to be tough going, we know that.
00:18:28We can use an expert climber and a scientist.
00:18:31In a double capacity, we need you with us.
00:18:32What do you say, Doc?
00:18:33Yes, John.
00:18:34What do you say?
00:18:41I'd like to show this to someone first.
00:18:43Who's that?
00:18:43The person who seems to be his rightful owner, the llama.
00:18:47Whenever you say.
00:18:48Now.
00:18:49Keep the food hot.
00:18:50I'll come too.
00:19:03How long does this go on?
00:19:04Sometimes for several hours.
00:19:06Put that away, John.
00:19:12Yes, I know of this.
00:19:13It was taken from here many years ago.
00:19:17However you came by it, Mr. Flint, I'm grateful.
00:19:21You return it now.
00:19:23I'm happy to do so, sir.
00:19:25You, uh, you know it opens, then.
00:19:30The carved tooth.
00:19:33Carved?
00:19:34It was made, so I have heard, by a monk in the far distant time.
00:19:38It was meant to be a tooth of the god Manjo's wreath, the all-powerful.
00:19:41It was made.
00:19:42Did you think it was a real tooth?
00:19:44We thought perhaps it was a...
00:19:45You men of the West, you are driven by curiosity.
00:19:48You would risk your lives in, in those ways and ice and coldness to search for this...
00:19:56...animal.
00:19:57He's known all the time.
00:19:58This animal, you only imagined to exist.
00:20:00You also think it doesn't exist?
00:20:01Look, Rellison, you've made no contract.
00:20:02You're under no obligation to go up there with us tomorrow when we leave here.
00:20:06But we're going.
00:20:07And if it's humanly possible, we're going to find that creature.
00:20:11I'll come.
00:20:12Don't worry.
00:20:13He'll be all right.
00:20:14We'll look after him.
00:20:15You'll be just...
00:20:17We have my part in myself.
00:20:18I'd like to thank you for your hospitality.
00:20:19Small return, Mr. Friend.
00:20:21For this.
00:20:23Hmm.
00:20:24I don't know.
00:20:25I don't know.
00:20:26I don't know.
00:20:27I don't know.
00:20:28I don't know.
00:20:29It doesn't exist.
00:20:30Look, Rellison, you've made no contract.
00:20:31You're under no obligation to go up there with us tomorrow when we leave here.
00:20:33But we're going.
00:20:34Hmm.
00:20:39Okay.
00:20:40Emergency rations packed and checked.
00:20:41What's next?
00:20:42Snow crampons.
00:20:43Crampons.
00:20:44Coussang's getting them.
00:20:45Coussang!
00:20:46Coussang!
00:20:47Coussang!
00:20:48Here.
00:20:49Watch these guys.
00:20:50They got a greedy look.
00:20:51Oh, I don't think they...
00:20:52Just watch them, that's all.
00:20:53Come on.
00:20:54Give us that.
00:20:55Hey, Coussang.
00:20:56Did you talk to the other porters?
00:20:57Yes, mister.
00:20:58They want pay now.
00:20:59They'll get paid when we get back.
00:21:01How come we only got three packs?
00:21:03Rellison says he's got his own gear.
00:21:07Oh, goodbye, Foxy.
00:21:08Look after her.
00:21:09I will.
00:21:10See you soon.
00:21:12Well, I'd better get back to those reports.
00:21:18Foxy disapproves.
00:21:19You'd better bracket us together again.
00:21:21Now, I thought we said...
00:21:22I know, John, but...
00:21:23But it's those men, Friend and Shelley.
00:21:25I don't trust them.
00:21:26I don't like them, and I don't...
00:21:27You're just grabbing at straws now.
00:21:28No.
00:21:29No, I mean this, John.
00:21:30Listen.
00:21:31Friend talks too much, agreed, and Shelley could use a few manners.
00:21:33All right, I snore.
00:21:34They'll be the ones to suffer.
00:21:35Don't joke about it, John.
00:21:37Helen.
00:21:38Done.
00:21:39Look, you do understand.
00:21:41I've written and talked enough about this thing.
00:21:43Now I've got a chance to put it all to the test.
00:21:45I've just got to take it, haven't I?
00:21:47Come on, now.
00:21:48Give me a hand with this.
00:22:00John.
00:22:01For the last time I'm asking, you don't go.
00:22:03Look, darling.
00:22:04You won't come back.
00:22:05I know it.
00:22:06I'll never see you again.
00:22:10Hey, Doc.
00:22:11Cousin.
00:22:12Come on.
00:22:13We've got to move.
00:22:16Be careful, my darling.
00:22:17Be careful.
00:22:18I can look after myself.
00:22:19You know that.
00:22:23Robinson!
00:22:34Come on.
00:22:35Come on.
00:22:36Come on.
00:22:37Come on.
00:23:04Come on.
00:23:14Hey, Tom.
00:23:15Wait a minute.
00:23:16We've got to keep this pace up.
00:23:17We've got to make that hut before nightfall.
00:23:19Yeah, we went an easier way last time, over those ridges.
00:23:21This time of year, they're all snowed up.
00:23:23Yeah?
00:23:24Well, look at those characters.
00:23:25They seem to be doing all right.
00:23:26Yeah, well, they're not going where we're going.
00:23:28You all right, Doc?
00:23:29So far.
00:23:30Well, let's keep moving, nice and steady.
00:23:31Yeah, get a rhythm.
00:23:32Maybe we ought to sing or something.
00:23:33Yeah, you do that.
00:23:34Huh?
00:23:35Sing!
00:23:37John Brown's body?
00:23:39Come on, sing!
00:23:40John Brown's body lies a molding in the grave.
00:23:45John Brown's body lies a molding in the grave.
00:23:49John Brown's body lies a molding in the grave.
00:23:51John Brown's body lies a molding in the grave.
00:23:54There is a tavern in the town, in the town.
00:24:05Save your breath, will you?
00:24:06We're making good time, ain't we?
00:24:08Yeah, but where do we really start to climb?
00:24:16Come on, Ed, we gotta keep this pace up.
00:24:19Why pick on me? What about Leadfoot?
00:24:21Him I can do it out. You I need.
00:24:22Let's stop bickering. We've got less than two hours to a sunset.
00:24:25We've got to be on a safe campsite by then.
00:24:26No, we get the hut, we'll be all right.
00:24:28Where exactly is this hut?
00:24:30Over that ridge.
00:24:32There's a lot of rough weather coming up.
00:24:33We never make it in the time unless...
00:24:35Ah.
00:24:35There is a shortcut.
00:24:36Where?
00:24:37Across the car on that side.
00:24:39It looks awful steep.
00:24:40Well, let's give it a try.
00:24:42You're the prize climber in this party, Doc.
00:24:44Why don't you take over?
00:24:45All right, everybody rope up. We need it from here on.
00:24:47Two seconds, rope!
00:24:48It'll be a short, sharp climb.
00:24:49So long as it's short.
00:24:50Fairly short, as these things go.
00:24:51You'd better take the middle position for safety.
00:24:53I like safety too, Doc.
00:24:54We'll be all right if we keep our minds on what we're doing.
00:24:56Well, let's get roped up and get on with it.
00:24:58Jacques Poche.
00:25:00You.
00:25:01First.
00:25:01Let's get going, Doc.
00:25:02Come on, Ed.
00:25:04Okay, we're coming.
00:25:09Hey, Jacques!
00:25:12Spread out!
00:25:14Don't crowd them!
00:25:17Avalanche!
00:25:18What happened?
00:25:23Ah, nothing.
00:25:23Just some small stuff came down.
00:25:25For a minute there, I thought we had an avalanche starting.
00:25:27And it might have been.
00:25:28It was his fault yelling like that.
00:25:29You're crazy!
00:25:30No, he isn't.
00:25:31A sharp sound, sudden vibration, that's all it takes.
00:25:33Unless you have no more shouting, unless it's vital.
00:25:35Right.
00:25:35You got that, Ed?
00:25:36Okay, okay.
00:25:37Come on, let's go.
00:25:38Come on.
00:26:08Come on, let's go.
00:26:38Come on, let's go.
00:27:08Come on, let's go.
00:27:38Ah, there's nothing else in here, Tom.
00:27:44It was all sealed in these containers.
00:27:46Now, fill a hole up again.
00:27:47Fill it up?
00:27:48The accords will be up this spring and think the earth devils have been burrowing.
00:27:51Go ahead and fill it up.
00:27:52You want to scare these poor ignorant natives to death?
00:27:55You're a civilized man.
00:27:56All right, tomorrow.
00:27:57If this is the way you plan the rest of the trip, the couch is under the floor.
00:27:59You wouldn't get a meal like this out of an emergency pack.
00:28:02Who's for more?
00:28:03Not for me, thanks.
00:28:05We thought altitude was supposed to make you hungry.
00:28:07Who's saying?
00:28:08Now, do you talk about this as if it was a joke?
00:28:10Have you seriously considered what might happen if...
00:28:11Look, Doc, I've been running into people all my life who cried off because what might happen if I went ahead and did it?
00:28:19And now for some fact.
00:28:21I got some real supplies cashed up ahead.
00:28:23This was just a snack on the way up.
00:28:25What else have you got cashed away out there besides food?
00:28:27Everything we need from tents to fuel.
00:28:31Look, 18,000 feet.
00:28:33We'll stop and make our first camp and search at the foot of the icefall.
00:28:3720,000 feet, the same procedure.
00:28:40And again at 22,000 feet.
00:28:42And we've got oxygen if we have to go higher.
00:28:44We've got everything we need to get up above this creature.
00:28:48Search it out in its own ground and crack it down.
00:28:51Now, how about some more of your contribution?
00:28:53Oh, such as?
00:28:54Expert advice.
00:28:56Uh, what's know the nature of the enemy?
00:28:59What's it live on?
00:29:00Small animals.
00:29:01Heirs, mice, bulls.
00:29:02But we've seen none.
00:29:03Oh, you don't see them, but he's right.
00:29:05They're there.
00:29:05It's a never, sir.
00:29:06No, it needn't be.
00:29:07Better root some plants under the snow, too.
00:29:09It's probably fairly adaptable like man.
00:29:11Man?
00:29:12What's your suggesting roughly is that this might be some kind of a missing link?
00:29:16That's a bit too rough.
00:29:17Say parallel development, my wish.
00:29:19Parallel with mankind.
00:29:24We're not very far north of India.
00:29:27Now, some millions of years ago, that was the breeding ground of huge ape-like animals.
00:29:31Primitive anthropoids.
00:29:32Their fossil bones are dug up from time to time.
00:29:34Now, the latest evolutionary theory is that their descendants branched off in two directions.
00:29:39One to become the great apes, chimpanzees, orangutans, and so on.
00:29:43And the other, man.
00:29:45Yeah.
00:29:46Darwin's theory all tidied up, so?
00:29:48Well, suppose.
00:29:50Suppose there were a third line of descent.
00:29:53That to point X is different from man as the apes are.
00:29:56Probably.
00:29:57Calls for some very fancy guesswork.
00:30:00But what would have happened to them?
00:30:01Gradual extinction through changing conditions, attacks of enemies.
00:30:04Might include both apes and men.
00:30:06Most likely did.
00:30:07Until only our remnants survived, adapting themselves to living where nothing else would, in these mountains.
00:30:12The highest in the world and above the snow line.
00:30:14There's no proof of all this.
00:30:15Well, not yet, but a hundred years ago, there was no proof that primitive man had ever existed either.
00:30:19Look, how do you see it?
00:30:20I mean, it walks on two legs.
00:30:21There's no doubt about that.
00:30:22The tracks prove it.
00:30:23They show a foot 13 inches long and very wide indeed.
00:30:26The stride of a six-foot man, yet his legs would be far more massive and very short in proportion to its height.
00:30:32Now, you see what that implies?
00:30:33It's big.
00:30:35Perhaps seven or eight feet high.
00:30:37What do you think, Ed?
00:30:39Well, can't try.
00:30:41Go on, drag it out.
00:30:41Good a time, is it?
00:30:42I'm not with you.
00:30:44Well, we might as well let you in on our little secret, Doc.
00:30:47The fact of the matter is that Ed here is an expert trapper.
00:30:50Yeah.
00:30:50Everything from foxies to grizzlies.
00:30:53Now, there's a tungsten still, Ned.
00:30:56It's just a little sample.
00:30:58You think it'll hold it?
00:31:00Well, if not, we have other things up there.
00:31:01What things?
00:31:02More guns?
00:31:04So that's what this is.
00:31:05A hunting party.
00:31:06Well, what did you expect us to do?
00:31:08Look at it through a telescope?
00:31:09Have, have Jock here take a picture?
00:31:11You represented me for the bona fide investigation.
00:31:13It is bona fide.
00:31:14I want one alive and so do you.
00:31:15Then what are your interests?
00:31:16Commercial?
00:31:16Well, if they are, they're honest.
00:31:17Then why all the secrecy?
00:31:18For a thing just like this.
00:31:20Outraged indignation.
00:31:22I want it to be well underway to...
00:31:23Listen.
00:31:24What is it?
00:31:25I was certain I heard something, but you were talking so loudly.
00:31:29Outside?
00:31:30What?
00:31:31A sort of cry.
00:31:44See anything?
00:31:45Keep the voices down.
00:31:47Up there.
00:31:48Snowarmor.
00:31:48You sure?
00:31:49Quiet.
00:31:52That's nothing.
00:31:53But I'm sure I heard something.
00:31:55Any of the rest of you heard anything?
00:31:57No, no, no.
00:31:58It's false alarm.
00:32:02Jock, you need some sleep.
00:32:04We all do.
00:32:05Come on.
00:32:10I'm sorry I broke out at you like that just now.
00:32:13Put all of it on edge, maybe down the altitude.
00:32:16Yeah, well, I think I ought to explain.
00:32:18Frankly, I am, and this is a commercial venture,
00:32:21but I don't think that cheapens my motives in any way.
00:32:24What's at the end of the line?
00:32:25Is it a circus, a zoo?
00:32:26No, me neither.
00:32:30Thanks.
00:32:30Look, I'm not exactly a golden character, Doc.
00:32:35After the war, I did a little smuggling around the coasts of Europe.
00:32:39Odd gun for the angry little countries.
00:32:40I lived on two of the basic drives of humanity, fear and hunger.
00:32:46When it began to dry up on me, I looked around for another one.
00:32:49Around curiosity, human curiosity.
00:32:53Funny thing, you ever think about it?
00:32:54Well, I suppose I suffered under it?
00:32:56Look, the world is full of receptive, inquisitive people,
00:32:58people who are informed, responsive to new ideas.
00:33:02Radio, television, films, these things have gone to the very homes of the people
00:33:05that stirred up a healthy curiosity about the earth that they live on.
00:33:08These are the people I work for.
00:33:11If I can, I'm going to bring them one of these creatures.
00:33:14They can learn and profit from it.
00:33:16You really believe all that?
00:33:19Sure I do, Doc.
00:33:20They give the world a whole new concept,
00:33:22a new slant on humanity.
00:33:25Help us to know and understand ourselves better.
00:33:27Don't you think that's important?
00:33:29You ought to pair with this creature, show it on television and so on?
00:33:33Those are the means.
00:33:35I'll use them.
00:33:38Look, don't you understand?
00:33:40Dr. Rolison writing learned little books in the corner isn't enough anymore.
00:33:44It's a new age of awareness.
00:33:46It's a big age.
00:33:47You've got to measure up to it, Doc.
00:33:49You'd better get some sleep.
00:33:51You've got an early start.
00:33:52Yeah, well, you think about it.
00:33:54You've got to measure up to it, Doc.
00:34:25Foxy!
00:34:26Foxy!
00:34:29All right, kidding, Cy.
00:34:30Now, watch the matter.
00:34:32All right, you get paid when Cy comes back.
00:34:36Now, shut up!
00:34:38Now, go on.
00:34:39Go on.
00:34:42It's all right.
00:34:43It's only friends' porters.
00:34:44Apparently, they haven't been paid.
00:34:46Give you a bit of a shot.
00:34:47Now, you sit down there.
00:34:49Have a spot of this.
00:34:50It'll make for you much better.
00:34:52Why do you suppose he didn't pay them, Foxy?
00:34:55Hmm?
00:34:55Oh, well, just to make sure they're here when he comes back.
00:34:58It's customary and reasonable.
00:35:00Then why do they suddenly behave like that?
00:35:02Well, you know what they are.
00:35:03They've got nothing to do.
00:35:04They stand about and chatter and argue and work themselves up, drink this.
00:35:07Was that all?
00:35:08What do you mean?
00:35:09It's as if they knew something.
00:35:10As if their new friend wasn't coming back.
00:35:12No, I haven't.
00:35:12Or John or any of the potter.
00:35:13They're going to die and everybody in this place knows it.
00:35:15Now, stop it, Helen.
00:35:16You're talking raving nobsons.
00:35:18Now, come on.
00:35:18Drink this.
00:35:23You didn't sleep last night, did you?
00:35:25Well, make sure you do in future.
00:35:26You take some tablets.
00:35:29I lay the whole night just thinking.
00:35:31I never felt so lonely.
00:35:34Now and then I heard a gong across the courtyard.
00:35:37And the wind.
00:35:39Foxy.
00:35:40You know these things these people believe in?
00:35:43Clairvoyance, thought transference.
00:35:44Sham magic.
00:35:46Is it sham?
00:35:48Helen, this country's rotten with superstition.
00:35:51It's only dangerous because we're surrounded by people who think it's real.
00:35:54Well, we can slide into thinking it's real, too.
00:35:57Now, come on, drink that up.
00:35:58You'll feel much better.
00:36:00To make sure you're not pursued by the lads of the village again,
00:36:03I think I'll go and have a word with the llama.
00:36:04It's a good idea.
00:36:05I'll have to...
00:36:06You'll stay right there.
00:36:08And if you should feel like another nip of that,
00:36:10nobody's going to call you a tipler.
00:36:14There.
00:36:25Anyone there?
00:36:26Anyone there?
00:36:26Sir?
00:36:50Sir?
00:36:53Sir?
00:36:56Sir?
00:37:26They're practically out of sight now.
00:37:48Yes, going well too.
00:37:50How much longer will this take?
00:37:52I found what I wanted.
00:37:54Evidence of a possible food supply.
00:37:56Type of moss.
00:37:58Highly nutritious.
00:38:00You mean its food?
00:38:02It might be.
00:38:05Look, let's go on.
00:38:07I don't want that swine to get too far out of sight.
00:38:09You don't trust him?
00:38:10Dumb friend. No more than you do.
00:38:12You're not a very good climber either.
00:38:13Why did you come on this trip like me?
00:38:15I had to.
00:38:17You had to?
00:38:19Ever since that time, two years ago,
00:38:22I felt that this is what I must do.
00:38:25It's a sort of obsession.
00:38:27Perhaps a psychologist could explain it.
00:38:30I don't know.
00:38:31All I know is that I've got to find the thing.
00:38:34Getting new to it before whetted your appetite.
00:38:36It's all that matters.
00:38:37I applied to join all sorts of climbing expeditions,
00:38:43hoping I'd be able...
00:38:45But I was turned down every time.
00:38:48Then you heard about the Tom Friend expedition.
00:38:51He wasn't so particular.
00:38:53I paid him to let me come.
00:38:55You paid him?
00:38:57I can be useful. I'm good with a camera.
00:39:00But not so good with an ice axe. A man like you could be dangerous.
00:39:03No, I'll try not to be.
00:39:05Come on.
00:39:07Come on.
00:39:37Come on.
00:39:39Hello!
00:39:43Hello!
00:39:48Hello!
00:39:56Hello!
00:40:09Oh!
00:40:30Fred!
00:40:32Where are you?
00:40:34Where are you?
00:40:35He said it'd pinch camp.
00:40:37The ice fall.
00:40:38They're right in the middle of it now.
00:40:40They can't be far away.
00:40:43Hello!
00:40:45Hello!
00:40:46Wait a minute.
00:40:48I thought I heard something.
00:40:52The device is...
00:40:54...ahead of us.
00:40:58Are you there?
00:41:02Hello!
00:41:04Hello!
00:41:07Spread ice!
00:41:14Trap!
00:41:15A springtrap!
00:41:20Get it open!
00:41:21Dry!
00:41:22I can't, Fred.
00:41:23It's fastened to block.
00:41:30Hey!
00:41:31Go!
00:41:32Flash that!
00:41:33It's valuable!
00:41:35Here.
00:41:36Here.
00:41:37Let me do that.
00:41:38Did you set this?
00:41:39What do you think?
00:41:40Without warning us.
00:41:42You want to put a flag on it or something?
00:41:44Did I know you was coming this way?
00:41:46Get him free!
00:41:49Okay!
00:41:50Get your foot out!
00:41:51Oh, he's not her bad.
00:41:54This is my improvement on the bear trap.
00:41:56It grips but doesn't tear.
00:41:58Didn't even bite through the boot.
00:42:00Of all the idiotic maniac ideas.
00:42:02What do you hope you achieve setting these things at random?
00:42:05We've achieved it.
00:42:06Before you blow your top, Doc, listen.
00:42:08It's worked.
00:42:09Works?
00:42:10We caught one of those things.
00:42:16You don't believe me?
00:42:17Well, come and look.
00:42:22Watch out.
00:42:23It's ice up here.
00:42:26Give a hand.
00:42:27Here.
00:42:31We found these little tracks, see?
00:42:32So I set traps on the chancel whatever made them might come back.
00:42:34Little tracks?
00:42:35Yeah, you wait and see.
00:42:37Hey, Tom, they're here!
00:42:41Good.
00:42:42Coussang, put it tighter.
00:42:45Throw me that top one.
00:42:53We're finally made it, huh?
00:42:56We couldn't wait on you.
00:42:58There it is.
00:43:00Not very big, is it, Doc?
00:43:02A lot more than four feet high.
00:43:04But Coussang has no doubts.
00:43:06Coussang, tell him what it is.
00:43:07Yeti!
00:43:08Same as you saw before.
00:43:09Same.
00:43:10Same.
00:43:11That's the expert, Doc.
00:43:12Guess maybe you might have made a mistake, huh?
00:43:15Just get it covered.
00:43:16Let it go.
00:43:17What do you mean, let it go?
00:43:18But Delango, a Himalaya monkey, you'll find one of the half the zoos of the world.
00:43:21Coussang says...
00:43:22Forget about Coussang.
00:43:23He's never seen the creature we're looking for.
00:43:25Yeti!
00:43:27Yeti!
00:43:28Lock it off, will you?
00:43:29Cover him up.
00:43:30All your trappings done is to practically remain one of our own men.
00:43:32Doc?
00:43:33Yeah, he just happened to fall into one of our hands.
00:43:34I think I'd like to treat him in here.
00:43:35No, that's a...
00:43:36That's just a flycash.
00:43:38Let's take him over to Ted.
00:43:40Come on, Jock.
00:43:41Come on, like me.
00:43:42You'll be all right.
00:43:43Steady now.
00:43:44Coussang, tie him down!
00:43:46How is it?
00:43:47Well, apart from the bleeding, there may be a cracked bone.
00:44:01Without an X-ray, I can't tell.
00:44:02Does it hurt?
00:44:03Ed, are you sure you've got the right station on that?
00:44:06It should be.
00:44:07Now fix it with him to give us a weather forecast, Doc.
00:44:11And now, short weather forecasts in English for Himalayan climbing parties.
00:44:20First, the Tom Flint expedition in Western Himalaya.
00:44:24You may expect occasional snow showers rising to blizzard force by tomorrow night.
00:44:29Further outlook, heavy snow continuing.
00:44:32Next, the Van Siemens expedition in eastern Sikkim.
00:44:36Blizzards, that's all we need.
00:44:37We've got 24 hours.
00:44:39This man can't march tomorrow. It's under the question.
00:44:41Well, Tom, we'll dig out the sledge.
00:44:43You've got a sledge?
00:44:44Yeah.
00:44:45Yeah, but it's not for him.
00:44:46Well, what's it for, then?
00:44:47Listen, Doc, this expedition cost a lot of money.
00:44:49I'm not going back empty-handed.
00:44:51That animal we got in a cage out there, you say some kind of a monkey.
00:44:54Well, of course it is.
00:44:55Well, that's the mysterious yeti or snowman.
00:44:57We proved it. Coussang here confirms it.
00:44:59Meaning?
00:45:00Meaning that from now on we sell that fact.
00:45:02I've got to get that brood down to India.
00:45:04That particular verified specimen of the yeti.
00:45:07Sales promotion.
00:45:08I can do it.
00:45:09I know how to handle it.
00:45:10Sure, Tom.
00:45:11Like with Franchini that time.
00:45:12Franchini case?
00:45:13Were you mixed up in that?
00:45:14He doesn't know what he's talking about.
00:45:15There's no Tom friend in it, if I remember.
00:45:17How long have you used that name?
00:45:18I used what name I like, is what case you think you're talking about.
00:45:21The Indian wolf children.
00:45:22Allegedly reared by wolves in the jungle...
00:45:24All right.
00:45:25...and turned out to be plain mental defectives.
00:45:27All right.
00:45:28That's what the people wanted.
00:45:29Another new concept for humanity.
00:45:31You're nothing but a cheap fairground trickster.
00:45:34I don't like your business!
00:45:35I'm watching the radio!
00:45:36Shut up!
00:45:42Well, that's taking care of the weather forecast.
00:45:44Yes, sir.
00:45:46It's the altitude, Adam.
00:45:48I don't know what makes you lose control.
00:45:50I'm...
00:45:52I'm sorry, Doc.
00:45:54Oh, forget it.
00:45:55How do you feel, McNee?
00:46:01McNee?
00:46:02What's he hearing?
00:46:03Hush!
00:46:04Listen!
00:46:07The cage!
00:46:08Give me a torch here!
00:46:10Here!
00:46:11Bring some flares!
00:46:12Yeah!
00:46:14Come on!
00:46:15We may need you!
00:46:20Look at the cage!
00:46:27It's all twisted!
00:46:29It's gone!
00:46:30It's got away.
00:46:31And the door!
00:46:33It's all reached off!
00:46:34I just don't understand this!
00:46:36Let's see.
00:46:37See if we can figure out the tracks.
00:46:39Oh, the snow's all trampled about.
00:46:41Hey, what's this?
00:46:43Look at this track!
00:46:44Hey, look at that!
00:46:46They're two different kinds!
00:46:47Look at the size of it!
00:46:49Look at the size of it.
00:46:50Fifteen, sixteen inches long.
00:46:54There's no doubt about it.
00:46:56There was something else here, too.
00:46:57Put that torch out.
00:46:58Yeah. What are we gonna do?
00:46:59Trying to follow it?
00:47:01Kuzang, get the rifles, quick.
00:47:04Check what you're waiting at, the rifles.
00:47:19Let's go.
00:47:49Hey, Tom, look. Don't be dressed all around here.
00:47:53Matty.
00:47:55What was that?
00:47:57Fight the flare.
00:47:59There's something by the tent.
00:48:01Kuzang.
00:48:03Kuzang, Kuzang, where was it?
00:48:07Was it anything else? Kuzang.
00:48:09Hey, Tom, look. Don't be dressed all around here.
00:48:13Matty.
00:48:15Tom, look. Don't be dressed all around here.
00:48:17Matty.
00:48:21Matty.
00:48:23Are you all right? What was it?
00:48:25You okay? I don't know.
00:48:27Give me a gun. Some of those players.
00:48:29Come on!
00:48:31Enough? Yeah!
00:48:33What did it look like?
00:48:35What did you see? Kuzang.
00:48:37Tell me.
00:48:39I see. I see.
00:48:41What men must not see.
00:48:43I see through the acting.
00:48:45Kuzang.
00:48:47You made me see.
00:48:49Kuzang.
00:48:55Come back, Kuzang.
00:48:57Kuzang.
00:49:17Kuzang.
00:49:19Come back.
00:49:21Kuzang.
00:49:23Kuzang.
00:49:49Kuzang.
00:49:51No, but I found something else.
00:49:53What's that?
00:49:54Why are your traps all broken apart?
00:49:58Come on.
00:50:07All right.
00:50:08Any sign of Cousin?
00:50:10No, you can bet he's headed back home by now.
00:50:12Going down, it'll only take him a few hours.
00:50:14He's nearly out of his mind.
00:50:16Yeah, well, he had good cars to me if he saw what did this.
00:50:19But with this and those footprints, you can get a pretty good idea of the weight of the thing that made him.
00:50:23Looks like you were right, Doc.
00:50:25Partly.
00:50:26But don't forget the vital part.
00:50:28This creature may have an affinity for man, something in common with ourselves.
00:50:31Let's remember that before we start shooting.
00:50:33Sure, sure.
00:50:35Is he getting delirious?
00:50:36I'm afraid so.
00:50:38You took care of his ankle.
00:50:40I did what I could. This is in the hospital, and that's where he ought to be.
00:50:42Well, give him another set of dough.
00:50:43No, he's had enough.
00:50:44All right, McNee, all right.
00:50:46Go to sleep, old boy.
00:50:47You're fine.
00:50:48McNee, did you hear what I said?
00:50:50McNee.
00:50:53He's almost in the condition of trance.
00:50:55Trance?
00:50:56This is the way I found him out of the thing of being here.
00:50:57What are you getting at?
00:50:58I'm not sure.
00:50:59You mean he's affected by him in some way?
00:51:01It's not impossible.
00:51:02If he were hypersensitive to their presence...
00:51:04Their presence?
00:51:05When he gets like this, they might be close?
00:51:07It's only a wild guess.
00:51:09McNee.
00:51:10McNee.
00:51:11The eyes.
00:51:12It's great.
00:51:13McNee.
00:51:14He's in a complete state of trance.
00:51:17McNee, can you understand me?
00:51:20Can you hear me, McNee?
00:51:22His pulse.
00:51:24McNee!
00:51:25You wait!
00:51:26No!
00:51:36No.
00:51:39No!
00:51:40No.
00:51:41No!
00:51:42Tom...
00:51:43I got it, Tom!
00:51:44Let's go.
00:52:14Let's go.
00:52:44Let's go.
00:52:46It's dead.
00:52:51So that's it.
00:52:53Really it.
00:52:55The abominable snowman.
00:52:57The size of that body.
00:52:59Looks like you underestimated, Doc.
00:53:02Must be 10 feet.
00:53:03Could be 11 feet high.
00:53:05Yeah.
00:53:06That face.
00:53:10There's more of them.
00:53:12They know.
00:53:14Listen, we've got to get this thing back to camp.
00:53:17The cleanest we ought to be able to manage.
00:53:19Ed, get a rope and a sledge.
00:53:21Give me your gun.
00:53:22Right.
00:53:23Right.
00:53:24Let's go.
00:53:25Let's go.
00:53:26Let's go.
00:53:27Let's go.
00:53:28Let's go.
00:53:29Let's go.
00:53:30Let's go.
00:53:31Let's go.
00:53:32Let's go.
00:53:34Let's go.
00:53:35Let's go.
00:53:36Let's go.
00:53:37Let's go.
00:53:38Let's go.
00:53:39Let's go.
00:53:43Let's go.
00:53:45Let's go.
00:54:03Let's go.
00:54:06Cuygens! Deanna!
00:54:08Cuygens! Deanna!
00:54:14Cuygens! Cuygens!
00:54:16Cuygens! Deanna!
00:54:18Deanna!
00:54:20Cuygens!
00:54:22Cuygens!
00:54:24Foxy!
00:54:30Foxy, wake up!
00:54:32The porter's come back. The porter?
00:54:34They took with him. The man named Cusain.
00:54:36You must be dreaming.
00:54:37No, I'm not. I saw him in the courtyard.
00:54:38He seemed exhausted and could hardly stand up.
00:54:40He's not there now. They took him away.
00:54:42He was there, Foxy.
00:54:44They took him through that door.
00:54:46I've got to know what this means.
00:54:47Helen, for heaven's sake.
00:54:48I'm going to see the llama.
00:54:49Helen, you'll never see him at this hour. You'll...
00:55:04...
00:55:24Drink this. Drink it.
00:55:54You've been frightened.
00:55:56One of my servants found you wandering in the secret part of the building.
00:56:00I was looking for you.
00:56:02Cousin's come back.
00:56:03Cousin?
00:56:04The porter who went with my husband and the others.
00:56:06I saw him in the courtyard.
00:56:07You are mistaken.
00:56:09No, but I'm not mistaken. I saw him, I tell you, in the courtyard.
00:56:12It was not Cousin.
00:56:14But I swear to you.
00:56:15You are concerned for your husband.
00:56:18He's in danger, I'm sure of it.
00:56:20Danger? Yes.
00:56:22They are in danger, all of them, from their own actions.
00:56:27I don't understand you, but you've got to help me do something.
00:56:30Warn them, bring them back.
00:56:31I can do nothing.
00:56:32Why?
00:56:33It is not possible to bend the destiny of men.
00:56:37The fate of your husband will be governed by his own nature.
00:56:52Mr. Fox, you will conduct this lady back to her living quarters.
00:57:01I'm so sorry about this, sir.
00:57:03Come along.
00:57:04Get me away from you.
00:57:05No, no, come along.
00:57:06Get me away from you.
00:57:07Don't you realize the hopelessness of it?
00:57:12We've got to try and find them, Foxy.
00:57:14There's no way of telling where they are by now.
00:57:16Three or four native guides, we'll have a chance.
00:57:17Native guides?
00:57:18I'll tackle those porters down there.
00:57:20You'll never persuade them to go, not into those high valleys.
00:57:22I think I can.
00:57:23But supposing the llama forbids them to?
00:57:25Listen, Foxy, they're waiting for money, aren't they?
00:57:27Well, I can give it to them.
00:57:31For heaven's sake, Helen, you're not going to give them all that.
00:57:34I'll give them everything I've got, Foxy.
00:57:36All right, well, let me handle it.
00:57:37We don't want to overdo it.
00:57:38There's one of them now.
00:57:40Where are the others?
00:57:42Where are the others?
00:57:44Well, call them for me.
00:57:46Call them.
00:57:56All right.
00:57:57All right, now, I want four porters.
00:57:59Four porters and plenty money.
00:58:01All right, now, wait, wait, wait.
00:58:04Hey, Doc!
00:58:06Hark!
00:58:07Hark the herald angels.
00:58:08What's the matter now?
00:58:10Doc!
00:58:11Come down here!
00:58:13I'll come when I can!
00:58:15Noisy.
00:58:16We're transferring to the cave.
00:58:18It'll give us protection against heavy snows.
00:58:20Don't tell me friend's delaying here from my side.
00:58:22Oh, no.
00:58:23No, he's not satisfied with the bag so far.
00:58:25In a couple of days, this foot of yours should be usable.
00:58:27Thanks to you.
00:58:28Tell me, what does it look like?
00:58:33The dead one?
00:58:34Uh-huh.
00:58:35Well, you'll see.
00:58:36It bears out a lot of my guesses.
00:58:37It's massive.
00:58:38And its height is about ten foot five inches.
00:58:40Weight, six hundred and fifty pounds.
00:58:42Its age is difficult to assess without...
00:58:44No, that's not what I mean.
00:58:46Didn't you see what it looked like?
00:58:48The face?
00:58:50Yes.
00:58:51Well, there's nothing egg-like about it.
00:58:53There's nothing human, either.
00:58:55But I felt it had...
00:58:56Go on, go on.
00:58:57A sadness, and it was probably only a surface resemblance.
00:59:02That wisdom.
00:59:04Rolison!
00:59:05We need you down here!
00:59:07How's it feel?
00:59:08Better.
00:59:09Look, try and ease that boot on slowly.
00:59:12And I'll take these packs down and come back for you.
00:59:17Hold it there a minute.
00:59:19All right?
00:59:20Doc, come around this side.
00:59:22There.
00:59:23See if we can get...
00:59:26Do more purchase.
00:59:27Okay.
00:59:28Wait a minute.
00:59:33Listen.
00:59:44Well, I'll get you down there now.
00:59:46McNeil!
00:59:51McNeil!
00:59:52What is it?
00:59:53What is it?
00:59:54He's gone.
00:59:55Ground.
00:59:56Without this one, that goes.
01:00:09Up there, look.
01:00:11McNeil!
01:00:16McNeil!
01:00:17McNeil!
01:00:20McNeil!
01:00:21McNeil!
01:00:23McNeil!
01:00:24McNeil!
01:00:26McNeil!
01:00:28McNeil!
01:00:33Watch out!
01:00:34He must have hit a rock.
01:00:47It would be instantaneous.
01:00:51They killed him.
01:00:55It was the sound of that howling.
01:00:59He couldn't stand it. It drove him mad.
01:01:00He fell because his foot was useless.
01:01:04They killed him.
01:01:07Come on!
01:01:08Come on!
01:01:18Ed!
01:01:19Ed!
01:01:20You all right?
01:01:21What happened?
01:01:22I just got to it.
01:01:23The gun, Tom. I just got to it.
01:01:24Another second.
01:01:25What happened?
01:01:26They came at me.
01:01:27Two of them.
01:01:28You just don't know what it's like.
01:01:30Close to the light.
01:01:31There.
01:01:32Here.
01:01:33Take a drink.
01:01:34How did it happen?
01:01:35Make it easy, Ed.
01:01:37Go on.
01:01:38Hey.
01:01:39They just came out of the cave.
01:01:41And these two came running towards me.
01:01:44The size of them.
01:01:45You wouldn't credit the speed that they can move.
01:01:48I grabbed the gun.
01:01:49Yeah, I know.
01:01:50You blasted off enough to start an avalanche, but you're messing with me.
01:01:52Yeah, it was like this.
01:01:53The sun was in my eyes, and I couldn't get organized.
01:01:56Tom.
01:01:57They're after me.
01:01:58They know it was me that did it last night.
01:01:59They're after me.
01:02:00They're after all of us.
01:02:01They just killed McNeil.
01:02:02What?
01:02:03What?
01:02:04It was an accident.
01:02:05It's me next.
01:02:06They know it was me.
01:02:07Oh, don't worry.
01:02:08I've had this before.
01:02:09Me and a grizzly once we ran a war, and there's a whole winner.
01:02:12I can handle it.
01:02:13But we want to act.
01:02:14That's what we want to do right now.
01:02:16Hey, Tom.
01:02:17Let's get some action.
01:02:19Why don't we just sit around?
01:02:20We know they're up there.
01:02:21Why don't we go up there and find them?
01:02:23Look here, I got an idea.
01:02:24You've had a lot of tough assignments.
01:02:26Can you handle one more?
01:02:27That's what I want!
01:02:28Yeah, action!
01:02:29Can you rig that steel net up in the roof of that cane?
01:02:34Yeah, I guess so.
01:02:35Sort of a trap or anything that might go in there?
01:02:36Yeah, I can do that.
01:02:38What am I springing the trap?
01:02:39Who does that?
01:02:43Oh, I get it.
01:02:44I do.
01:02:45I'm in the back there acting as bait, right?
01:02:48Right.
01:02:49You're a character, Tom.
01:02:52Ah, sure, I'll do it.
01:02:53I told you that's what I wanted.
01:02:54Let's get to work while they still got me in mind.
01:03:00Yeah, let's get it cleared.
01:03:02Give me a spade.
01:03:03Ah, here's one.
01:03:04What do you want a spade for?
01:03:07Oh, yeah, a jock.
01:03:19There's no spade!
01:03:40Foxy!
01:03:41Foxy, the food container.
01:03:42They've been here, we must go on.
01:03:43You damn what now?
01:03:44Come in, we're gonna camp here.
01:03:45We must go on.
01:03:46Be damned, not now.
01:03:47Come in.
01:03:48We're going to camp here.
01:03:49This is not the slightest encouragement.
01:03:51They'll all desert.
01:03:52And this time, you'll never get them back.
01:03:59Tom, it's all fixed.
01:04:01Come and look.
01:04:02Right.
01:04:09Well, there she is.
01:04:11One pull on this, and the whole thing comes down.
01:04:14I'm sure it'll work.
01:04:15I'll test it and try.
01:04:16Nice work, eh, Doc?
01:04:17You know my feelings.
01:04:18I don't like the idea of your part in it least of all.
01:04:21If you want my advice, I can...
01:04:22Listen, Doc, he doesn't need your advice.
01:04:24He can pull out any time he wants to.
01:04:26Who wants to pull out?
01:04:27It's all business, of course, but I should have thought
01:04:28where the risk can't be calculated.
01:04:29When that thing falls, anything underneath it
01:04:31will be fully occupied.
01:04:32That's tungsten steel with a break and strain of 20,000 pounds.
01:04:36The more it struggles, the more the whole thing tightens on it.
01:04:39In addition to which, there you are, Ed.
01:04:41Clean and loaded.
01:04:42Thanks, Tom.
01:04:43Just in case I should need it.
01:04:44Just in case.
01:04:45Ah, you can trust me.
01:04:47I am trusting you with this unique specimen when it shows up.
01:04:52It's beginning to snow out there again.
01:04:55Listen, Edwin.
01:04:56We'll keep you covered from the tent.
01:04:58Check every half hour, but the moment anything happens, you signal.
01:05:01You bet I'll signal.
01:05:02Right.
01:05:03This is complete madness, friend, the new noise.
01:05:09Relax, will you?
01:05:10He knows how to hold this fire.
01:05:12and you fell through the air.
01:05:13I'll blow the fire.
01:05:14Please fire.
01:05:15Now we'll kick out of it.
01:05:16I'm pushing you in this-
01:05:17I'm pushing you in this.
01:05:18Understand it.
01:05:19Now we'll keep you covered.
01:05:20Let's do it.
01:05:21Let's do it.
01:05:22Let's do that.
01:05:23I see it.
01:05:24Let's do it.
01:05:25And we'll keep you covered in the air.
01:05:26Let's do it.
01:05:27Let's do it.
01:05:28There we go.
01:05:58You can't see the cave.
01:06:03Yeah, so far.
01:06:04You better call it off.
01:06:06Call it off?
01:06:07This snow may be just the thing I'm waiting for.
01:06:09That man's depending on you.
01:06:10If he gets in trouble, I'm gonna help him.
01:06:12Don't worry.
01:06:13Fiend.
01:06:14Why not settle for the one we've got, sir?
01:06:16I've said no.
01:06:17You've cracked the mystery.
01:06:18You've proved the creature exists.
01:06:19Settle for that.
01:06:20Take back a dead one?
01:06:21If we can.
01:06:21Uh-uh.
01:06:22Have him pickle it and write out learned reports,
01:06:24stick a skeleton in a museum and call it something other than Radasani.
01:06:27I'm not looking for credit.
01:06:28No, not gonna be like that.
01:06:30He's mine.
01:06:30Like the famous wolf children?
01:06:32Just the opposite.
01:06:33This is no fake.
01:06:34That's why I'm not gonna give up.
01:06:36I'm gonna prove to him I can bring back the real thing.
01:06:39You can't drag this down to a personal level.
01:06:41It's far too important.
01:06:42To me?
01:06:42Listen.
01:06:45There's a warning of the creature.
01:06:47It's strong, intelligent.
01:06:48May have powers we haven't even developed.
01:06:50It might have inherited the Earth.
01:06:52Something went wrong.
01:06:54And here it is, the last vestige of a species hiding away where nothing else will live.
01:06:57Waiting in misery and despair for final extinction.
01:07:01I don't have to point the morrow.
01:07:03Look, if they drop the H-bomb, your descendants too may wind up in the ice.
01:07:07Did you see anything?
01:07:31I thought...
01:07:33No.
01:07:35No, that's...
01:07:37Is that a cigarette?
01:07:38No.
01:08:03It's okay.
01:08:07We're coming.
01:08:12Stop.
01:08:14I can't see a thing.
01:08:15Robinson, keep the gun.
01:08:16Come on.
01:08:24There it is.
01:08:30Rip to pieces.
01:08:31Red.
01:08:35Red!
01:08:40He's dead.
01:08:41Dead?
01:08:42Robert.
01:08:44How did they kill him?
01:08:45I can't find any mark.
01:08:47It looks like a heart attack.
01:08:49Space.
01:08:49I think he died from shock.
01:08:52He didn't lose the gun.
01:08:53Why?
01:08:54Just a minute.
01:08:58The magazine's empty.
01:08:59That's strange.
01:09:05Each shell's been struck by the firing of him.
01:09:07They didn't go off.
01:09:08They didn't go off, friend.
01:09:10You loaded the gun.
01:09:11What with?
01:09:12Dummy ammunition?
01:09:13I didn't want another dead one.
01:09:21I knew he'd fire even if the net held.
01:09:22He was scared.
01:09:24Where did they beat at this?
01:09:27Your gun must have frightened them off.
01:09:28I think this was all they wanted.
01:09:29You mean they weren't after Ed?
01:09:31No.
01:09:31Oh, but they killed him.
01:09:32No, they didn't, friend.
01:09:36You did.
01:09:37No, they didn't want another dead one.
01:09:38No, they didn't want another dead one.
01:09:39No, they didn't want another dead one.
01:09:40No, they didn't want another dead one.
01:09:41No, they didn't want another dead one.
01:09:42No, they didn't want another dead one.
01:09:43No, they didn't want another dead one.
01:09:44No, they didn't want another dead one.
01:09:45No, they didn't want another dead one.
01:09:46No, they didn't want another dead one.
01:09:47No, they didn't want another dead one.
01:09:48No, they didn't want another dead one.
01:09:49No, they didn't want another dead one.
01:09:50No, they didn't want another dead one.
01:09:51No, they didn't want another dead one.
01:09:52No, they didn't want another dead one.
01:09:53No, they didn't want another dead one.
01:09:54No, they didn't want another dead one.
01:09:55Let's go.
01:10:25You think that'll stop him?
01:10:41They'll give us a fighting chance if they decide to attack.
01:10:45If they do.
01:10:46You think they won't, huh?
01:10:48Let me tell you something.
01:10:50I'm not gonna take any chances on losing that one.
01:10:52I'm gonna do like you said, Doc. Be satisfied with the one we got.
01:10:56That decision's a little late.
01:10:58It's cold in here. Want a drink, Doc?
01:11:02No, no thanks.
01:11:03Yeah, we gotta keep alert, keep our circulation up, be ready for them.
01:11:07Could've hit the first time, there may not be a second chance.
01:11:10What's on your mind?
01:11:11I wonder what they'll try.
01:11:12Try?
01:11:13They know you've got a gun and what it can do.
01:11:14They knew Ed had a gun, that didn't stop them.
01:11:15But they knew what you knew about Sherry's gun.
01:11:17You mean they could...
01:11:18...swat transference?
01:11:19Oh, don't give me that.
01:11:20Let's get something straight, Doc.
01:11:21These are animals, dangerous killers, and that's all they are.
01:11:23MacNei died from an accident, Sherry died of his own fear.
01:11:36It isn't what's out there that's dangerous so much as what's in us.
01:11:40What you doing there?
01:11:41I'm wondering, wondering how old that face is.
01:11:46What are you doing there?
01:11:48I'm wondering.
01:11:50Wondering how old that face is.
01:11:53It's seen a long life.
01:11:55Longer than ours, I should say.
01:11:57A hundred years, perhaps more.
01:12:00This isn't the face of a savage thing.
01:12:03There's... there's gentleness.
01:12:04Gentleness?
01:12:05Suppose they're not just a...
01:12:07a pitiable remnant waiting to die out.
01:12:09Now, waiting, yes, was...
01:12:11waiting for us to go.
01:12:13For mankind to die out?
01:12:16It was something the Lama said.
01:12:18About taking thought from man's successors.
01:12:20I didn't understand then, but suppose we're the savages.
01:12:23We're what? Are you out of your mind, Doc?
01:12:26Perhaps to them, we've been the Dark Ages.
01:12:29We've flattered ourselves too long.
01:12:31Perhaps we're not Homo sapiens thinking man.
01:12:34What has our thinking brought us to?
01:12:36But Homo vastans.
01:12:38They're in the destroyer.
01:12:41When the world knows about these creatures,
01:12:44they're destroyed too.
01:12:46And because we're men,
01:12:48we can only be here to destroy them.
01:12:50They must be aware of that.
01:12:52You mean we're the enemy, huh?
01:12:53If they can deal with us, the secret's kept.
01:12:56It's their only chance of survival.
01:12:58Up here on the ice, survival for what?
01:13:00It's enough until perhaps their time comes.
01:13:02Doc, you better have a drink.
01:13:05We better have something to eat.
01:13:07That's a good idea, then we'll take turns on watch.
01:13:09Throw me something to one of those self-eating cans, will you?
01:13:12Like living inside of an iceberg here.
01:13:14One soup coming up.
01:13:19And now, short weather forecasts in English for Himalayan climbing parking.
01:13:24First, the Tom Flint expedition in the Western Himalaya.
01:13:28You are warned to return to base immediately, abandoning all gear.
01:13:31I repeat, abandon all gear and return.
01:13:40Friend.
01:13:41Yeah?
01:13:42Where's the radio?
01:13:43Over there.
01:13:44It's all smashed up.
01:13:45Smashed?
01:13:46If you're thinking of trying to fix it, you can forget it.
01:13:49It's had it.
01:13:50But didn't you hear?
01:13:51Hear what?
01:13:52I told you that thing is wrecked.
01:14:01Friends, we must get out of here.
01:14:03What's the matter with you?
01:14:04No, stop!
01:14:05We're gonna get out of here when it's daylight and not before.
01:14:07What's the matter with you?
01:14:08You cracking up?
01:14:09Yeah.
01:14:10Maybe that's it.
01:14:11Talk to altitude sickness.
01:14:13Yeah, well, uh, go get some oxygen.
01:14:16Right over there.
01:14:17Yes.
01:14:18Oh, yeah, just turn the tap.
01:14:19It's all ready for use.
01:14:20I'll use.
01:14:22I don't want you going sick on me.
01:14:26Won't be easy managing that sludge tomorrow.
01:14:28All that new snow bound to make it unstable.
01:14:31Oh.
01:14:36Feeling better?
01:14:38Yeah.
01:14:40Yeah.
01:14:41It's gonna be tough going.
01:14:42We'll just have to get out in the middle of the glass here
01:14:44and just keep going.
01:14:45That's all.
01:14:46Keep going.
01:14:53Help me!
01:14:59Ed.
01:15:01Tobe!
01:15:02Help me!
01:15:08Tobe!
01:15:10Help me!
01:15:15What's the matter with you?
01:15:16Did you hear that?
01:15:20What can you hear?
01:15:22Tobe!
01:15:23Help!
01:15:24Help!
01:15:26Ed, I can hear him yelling out there.
01:15:28They got him.
01:15:30Stay here.
01:15:31Wait.
01:15:32Ed, I can hear you.
01:15:33I'm coming.
01:15:34Listen, you've got to understand.
01:15:35That isn't Shelly.
01:15:36It isn't anybody.
01:15:37I can hear his voice.
01:15:38It's in your own mind.
01:15:39It's just happened to me too.
01:15:40I've got to save him.
01:15:41Listen, Shelly's dead.
01:15:42Hey, friend.
01:15:43You've got to understand.
01:15:44No!
01:15:49Ed, I'm coming!
01:15:53Friend!
01:16:01Ed!
01:16:02Ed!
01:16:03I don't understand it, Ed!
01:16:09Ed, where are you?
01:16:14Ed!
01:16:15I'm here!
01:16:17I came to help you this time.
01:16:18I made it!
01:16:24Ed!
01:16:25Ed!
01:16:26Ed!
01:16:27Don't use the gun!
01:16:29The snow!
01:16:31The snow!
01:16:36Ed, I...
01:16:43I can't see you.
01:16:45Stop Firing!
01:16:49Come back!
01:16:50Come back!
01:16:55Hit! Hit!
01:16:58Come on!
01:17:01Come on!
01:17:15Come back! It's an avalanche!
01:17:20It doesn't cover me!

01:17:52Come back!
01:17:54Come back!
01:17:56Come back!

01:22:58Watch me! Watch me!
01:23:00Watch me!
01:23:01Watch me!
01:23:28I'm sorry.
01:23:30This has been for you a severe trial.
01:23:33All your companions dead in all these accidents.
01:23:37And with all the sufferings,
01:23:40you did not find what you went out to seek.
01:23:43I'm afraid I was wrong.
01:23:45Wrong?
01:23:47What I was looking for does not exist.
01:23:50You are certain of that?
01:23:53Yes.
01:23:56There is no Yeti.
01:24:26There is no Yeti.
01:24:30There is no Yeti.
01:24:32There is no Yeti.
01:24:34There is no Yeti.
01:24:36There is nothing for me to say.
01:24:38It is in a sense.
01:24:40It is in a sense.
