[♪♪♪]

[Bike bell ringing]

[Man]: Okay, I'll see you guys
at the diner,

in 20 minutes.

Thanks, buddy!

[Man speaks, indistinct]

I'm going to call you back.

Dad?



Hey, honey.

[Fumes quietly]

Excuse me?

Hello?

Yeah?

Okay, dad is sitting
on top of the boat,

reading
the newspaper again.

You want m--

can you please
do something about it?

Do you know
how embarrassing that is?

What's embarrassing?

Oh, forget it.

[♪♪♪]

I'm embarrassing Christy again?



Welcome to the club.

See you guys in a bit.

[♪♪♪]

[Quiet chatter]

Hey, guys.

So, what'd you
want to talk about?

The deal is dead.

What do you mean,
the deal is dead?

The deal
no longer exists.

National booksellers

was bought out
by a Japanese conglomerate.

So they're not
taking my book?

That's right, Robert.
They're not taking your book.

I told you
we should've never

let him talk us
into his stupid book idea.

Two weeks on the shelf,
not a single sale.

What, are you saying
this is my fault?

Yes, I'm saying
it's your fault.

They were never serious,
Robert.

Their interest
was only superficial.

Well, how the hell
was I supposed to know

they being
less than honest?

Well, maybe if you took
your head out of y--

all right, all right,
all right--

everyone, just calm down.

We're closing the store.

When?

Today!

Soon.

Probably a couple of weeks.

We're filing
for bankruptcy.

You're overreacting.

No, it's done,
the papers have been signed.

Well, what about
your customers?

What about this town?

You guys have
been here forever!

Don't you mean
what about your book?

I mean, it's okay,
Robert,

you can keep the advance,

if that's what
you're concerned about.

[Scoffs in disgust]

Robert...

[Calls out]:
He didn't mean it--

Robert?

Robert, wait!

Robert!

Look, I'm sorry
about Louis's temper.

You know
he's overreacting.

I know...
But we're in trouble.

I mean, we can save
the publishing end.

Got a good roster
of titles...

Hey, maybe your little book
will catch fire

and will save
our bacon.

All right.

I'll, um...

I'll-- I'll keep you
up to date.

[Sighs]

[♪♪♪]

I don't know what
to do anymore, mom.

You just have to
give her time.

Christy was
only eight years old

when her mother
passed away,

she's had her dad
to herself ever since.

You represent a great
big change, honey,

on a lot
of different levels.

Yeah, I know...

But her mom passed away
six years ago.

Okay? We've been
married for two years.

She's a teenager.

Yeah.

Hey, you never told me.

Did you get the results
of that pregnancy test?

I just got
the phone call.

There was a false positive.

So I guess you're going to
have to wait a little while

before you're
a grandmother.

Aw, honey,
I'm so sorry.

Yeah, I thought
for sure

that I was
pregnant this time.

Mom, I'm starting
to get scared

that there's something
wrong with me.

Of course there isn't.

You put too much weight
on yourself, honey.

[♪♪♪]

I love these
afternoon chats, mom.

Yeah, me too.

[♪♪♪]

[Sighs]

[Truck door opens]

Oh. There's Robert.

You know what?

I'm going to go
and let you guys, you know.

Hey, Hannah.

Bye, hon.

Hey, Hannah.

Hi, Robert.

Hey.

Mm.

You leaving?

Yeah, so much to do,
so little time.

Yeah.

See you.

Okay.

Bye.

Hi, buddy.

There you go.

The national deal
fell through.

What?

Justin and Louis
are going to close the store

and declare bankruptcy.

Louis is pissed,
he blames me.

Well, that's not fair.

Nah, I walked out.

Hey, baby, I'm sorry.

You know...

We've got a baby
on the way,

I can always
go back to teaching.

Aw, honey, I'm sorry.

Me too.

[♪♪♪]

[Drops fork]

I can just eat later.

And what is
this stuff, anyway?

It's aloo gobi,
it's east Indian.

You've had that before.

I don't see
why I have to be here.

You have to be here
because we're a family,

and families eat together.

I don't see
how it's a big deal.

I don't think your dad
means for it to be a big deal.

[Sets fork down]

I've got an idea.

You've got
a few days off school,

I got some time
on my hands,

there's plenty of gas
in the boat...

What do you say

we go cruising
around bear island?

All three of us?

Yeah.
All three of us.

We'll camp out
for a few days,

we'll turn around,
we'll come back.

It'll be fun.

I think it sounds like
a good idea.

Yeah!

I'll get my mom
to take care of Cody.

Fantastic.

Well, Cody is lucky.

[Cody grumbles]

[♪♪♪]

Hey, where's Christy?

She should really
be up here,

enjoying this cruise.

I seriously don't understand
why I have to be here.

Adults are like that.

They drive me crazy.

Yeah, well,
step-parents are the worst.

Honestly, she's all, like,
friendly and know-it-all.

I mean, give me a break.

When my phone
runs out of minutes,

I don't know
what I'll do.

Buy some more minutes.

[Thickly]: Yeah, 'cause
there's a store on bear island,

where I can buy minutes.

[Mother]: Star!
Off the phone!

Do homework!

[Sighs wearily]: I gotta go.

The adults
are complaining again.

Look, my advice
to you is this--

just because
they forced you to go

doesn't mean
you have to enjoy yourself.

That's true.

- Bye.
- Star!

I'm coming!

[♪♪♪]

Look at that.

That is a green algae
called pyrocystis lunula,

and it glows
when it's agitated.

At least I know
what "agitated" means.

[Teresa]: Look at that!

A timberland wolf!

Wow, I wonder
what spooked him.

I'm only mildly
interested.

Maybe
it was a cougar?

Maybe it was a bear.

It's "bear island."

Kiddo, you are gonna
love bear island.

Me and your grandfather

used to camp there
all the ti--

dad.

I've heard that
a thousand times.

Hey, did you guys
see the--

[sarcastically]:
Wow.

Is there anything
you don't know?

Hey! Who are you?

And what have you
done with my daughter?

Hey! Where
are you goin'?

Just...

[Cabin door shuts]

...just let her be
for a while.

So what was it that you
and your dad used to do?

[Chuckles dismissively]

Oh, do you know
what I found...

When I was tidying up
down below?

This.

What's this?

It's my lucky charm...

When I was a kid.

Aww!

That's sweet.

[♪♪♪]

[Robert]: I'm going to start
going around bear island.

Hey...

I just heard
a report on the radio.

There's a storm system
headed this way.

Can we outrun it?

No, not a chance.
We'll be caught in the middle.

It shouldn't be
too bad, though.

They say
it's a small system.

We should, uh,
stay close to shore,

just to be safe.

But be careful
of the rocks.

All right.

Aye-aye, cap'n.

[Thunder crashes]

[Fierce winds roaring
as thunder rumbles]

[♪♪♪]

- Oh!
- God!

Can't you steer
from inside?

No, I can't see anything
from in there.

Well, they should fire

whoever said this would
be a small system!

Ah! How's Christy doin'?

She's seasick.

She needs to see you.

I got my hands full
right now, honey.

I can handle this,
you go downstairs.

All right, just keep us
in the middle of the channel.

All right?
We should be okay.

[♪♪♪]

Daddy!

It's okay.

[Sobbing]: Dad, I'm scared,
I want to go home!

I know, baby,

but there's nothing
we can do about it now.

We've just got to
hold on. Hang on.

[Thunder crashing]

[Glass imploding
and Christy shrieks]

[Electricity zapping]

[♪♪♪]

Don't move!

Teresa!

This is an emergency!
Anybody copy?

[♪♪♪]

[Yelps]: Dad! Dad!

[Thunder claps]

Hey!

[Christy pleading]

[Grunts as hull crashes]

Whoa!

[Scraping intensely]

[Waster blasting]

[Gasps]

[Panicking]

Dad! Dad!

[Groans weakly
as thunder claps and roars]

[Screaming and sobbing]:
Dad! Dad!

Dad!

[Fearful sobbing]

Where's your dad?

I don't know!

I don't know,
he just disappeared!

What?

Robert!

Robert!

Robert!

Dad!

Dad! Where'd he go? Dad!

Robert!

Robert!

Robert!

[Christy sobbing
as Teresa continues calling]

[Winds screaming]

There he is!

Dad! [Cries]

Come on, let's go,
we got to get off the boat!

[Christy]: No!

Christy, we have to get
off the boat right now!

[Christy crying
and protesting]

[Storm raging]

[Both gasping and grunting]

[Panicking]: Dad? Dad! Dad!

Dad!

[Teresa grunts]

Christy! I need your help!

I need your help.

[Women grunting]

[Thunder roars]

[Christy yelps]

What are you doing?

I'm getting supplies
off the boat!

Hypothermia will set in
in three hours!

[Christy sobbing]

[♪♪♪]

[♪♪♪]

Dear god, please protect us
from this storm.

God, please
save my dad.

I'm scared.

[Sobbing softly]

[♪♪♪]

[Seagulls crying]

[Flames crackling]

Christy, honey?

Do you
have your phone?

I need to have
your phone.

Honey? Hey.

Do you have your phone?

[Gulls crying]

Great.

I'm sorry. Are you okay?

[Shivering quietly]

What are you doing?

I'm going to dry
the phones out

and hope that we can
use them later.

[Sighs wearily]

[Sighing]

[Seagulls crying]

[Sniffles deeply]

[Sighs resolutely]

[To self]: Okay.

First rule of survival--

[sniffs]

...don't panic.

Stop and think.

[Seagulls' crying
persists]

[Sighs]

[Exhales heavily]

[♪♪♪]

Christy?

You all right?

Yeah, I'm fine.

Does anybody know
we're out here?

No.

Can we try
the phones now?

Yeah.

Nothing.

[Flips phone shut]

[Phone claps shut]

Last chance.

[Phone chimes]

We have power!

[Begins dialing]

[Line starts ringing]

It's ringing!

[Ringing crackles]

[Cell ringing]

Christy?

Hi, Christy, is that you?

[Crackling]: Christy?

Mom! Mom, it's Teresa.

[Loud static crackling]

Mom!

[Redialing]

[Line beeping]

Did she hear you?

[Dials]

[Ringing]

[Voicemail]:
Hey! It's Christy.

Leave a message.
[Beeping]

Hi, Christy. It's Hannah.

I couldn't hear you.

Call me back, okay?

I don't know.

But if she did,
she'll get help.

All right,
we need a plan.

Let's see how
your dad's doing.

[Engine overhead]

[Christy]: Plane!

I hope they see this.

[Flare blasts and screams]

[♪♪♪]

I don't think
they saw the flare.

They'll come back,
right?

Somebody will.

[Rumbling]

[Plane continues overhead]

Come on, you lazy bones!

Get it while it's hot!

[Bacon sizzling]

[Sing-song]:
♪ smell that bacon...

Mm, mm!

Come on!
Breakfast won't eat itself--

[roaring]

[Gasps]: Oh... whoa!

Whoa, now.

[Growling]

Okay... okay...

[Growling]

Okay...

I know,
you just want some bacon.

[Roaring viciously]

Ho, now...

[Growling]

Get back in the tent now!

Shh!

It's okay...

[Grumbling]

Just...

[Roars]

[Bear growling]

[Roaring]

[Yelps]

[Roars louder]

[Whimpering and sobbing]

[Grizzly roaring]

[Woman shrieking]

[Panicking]: I need help!

[Deafening roar]

[Silence falls]

Okay, baby...

Drink that up.

[Gulps]

[Spoon clatters against cup]

Mm.

[Groans softly]

Thanks, baby.

Christy, are you okay?

I'm okay.

How's your head?

Mm... it's killing me.

You two are both okay,
though, right?

Mm-hmm.

Good.

How's your leg?

Do you think you can move?

Nah...

It's bad,
I think it might be broken.

[Robert sighs wearily]

[Robert bristles]

[Exhales tensely]

[Groans softly]

Is he going to
be all right?

Yeah, honey.

Well, what are we
going to do?

We have to do
something.

We have to help him.

You're smart,
you know everything!

Oh, honey, I don't
know everything.

But I do know

that your daddy's
going to be okay.

Now, we have to
get on that boat.

Let's go.

What are you
looking for?

We need that raft.

[Water sloshing]

[Muffled splashing]

[♪♪♪]

Teresa?

[Splashing ceases]

Teresa?

Teresa, are you okay?

Teresa! Can you answer me?

Teresa?

I'm okay.

[Sighs softly]

Okay.

I'm fine.

Now, if I can find that pack.

[♪♪♪]

We got it.

Oh...

[Grunts]

What are we going to do now?

We're going to stay safe...
And then, in a few days,

if we have to,
we can take this raft.

I guess dad got his wish.

What's that?

A family
eating meals together.

[♪♪♪]

[Sighs]

[Speed dials]

[Line ringing]

Hi! This is Teresa,

and I'll get back to you
as soon as I can.

Have a great day.

Honey, it's mom.

Call me when you get
this message, okay?

[Beep]

[Speed dials again]

[Line ringing]

Hi. This is Bob Childs.
I can't take your call--

[beep]

[Cody whimpers]

Something's wrong.

I can feel it.

[♪♪♪]

Your infection's
getting worse.

We have to
go for help.

Okay.

You hanging in there,
kiddo?

Well, after everything
she's been through,

she's doing great.

You know this isn't exactly
what I had in mind

when I suggested
we go camping, right?

[Laughs]

That's okay, dad.

[Robert sighs]

[♪♪♪]

I couldn't sleep.

[Chuckles sadly]

We have food
and we have water,

we're doing okay.

But I'm worried about dad.

You know, we'll see
how he's doing tomorrow.

If he feels up to it,
then we're rafting home.

How are you holding up?

Well, you did
really great today.

You were brave.

I wasn't brave.

[Sobs]:
I was just really scared,

and I wanted to give up.

[Crying]

Ah, but you didn't,

and that makes you brave.

[Sniffles]

Come on, let's get
back into bed.

Okay?

[♪♪♪]

[Laughter and chatter]

[♪♪♪]

Excuse me?

Do you have a remote?

[Turns volume up]

Once again,
I'm recommending this book

by first-time writer
Robert Childs.

I love it.

- Wow!
- [Patrons reacting]

You won't be able
to put it down!

On dating brainy women:
A gentlemen's guide--

it's a winner.

And everyone
in our studio audience

is going home
with their own copy today!

[Chuckling
with giddy anticipation]

Stay tuned to your TV,

we'll be right back
after this short break.

I'll be damned!

[Patrons murmuring,
indistinct]

Yeah. Okay. So...

I'll bring the paperwork over,
and we'll get that organized.

Yeah.

Louis! Who are you
talking to?

- Bankruptcy lawyer.
- Hang up.

Hang up right now!

Uh, ed, yeah, listen--
sorry, something's come up,

I got to step away
from the phone.

Yeah, i--
I'll call you back.

[Slaps phone shut]

[Snaps]: What?

You won't believe this.

Leanne vickers
picked Robert's book

as a "must-read."

What?

[Giggles]: Robert's book
has caught fire!

Orders are
through the roof.

We need to order
another printing

immediately, a big one!

No, no. We're not throwing
good money after bad.

Not this time.

Since vickers' show,

everyone wants to
profile the book.

Seattle this morning
called,

and msnbc
wants to interview the author.

Really?

Mm.

Well... [sighs]

Here's where I promise away
my kid's inheritance.

Better get Robert
on the line.

Yeah, I already left
a couple of messages,

but I haven't
heard back from him.

What, you don't think
he's still mad at me, do you?

[Seagulls squawking]

Thanks, baby,
that hit the spot.

You have
a really bad infection, Robert,

and the antibiotics
in the first aid kit

aren't strong enough.

I'm going to have to
set your leg.

Okay?

Okay.

Okay.

[Robert grunts]

How's Christy?

She's doin' good.

Yeah?

That is one tough little girl
that you raised.

[Sighing]:
It's in her blood...

Her mom was tough.

I'm glad she's got you
to look up to now.

She has both of us.

Christy?

Okay, I'm going to
need your help.

Here. Grab that.

Go back a little bit.

One rope in either hand.

Okay.

And when I tell you,

you're going to pull
as hard as you can.

Okay?

Okay...

And when I tell you to.

You ready?

[Nervously exhales]

Ready?

Go.

[Robert crying out]

[Robert continues crying out]

[Groaning]

[Sobs]

[Bone sets
and Robert screams]

[Screams echo and fade]

Huh.

[Raps]

[Footfalls]

Hi. Sorry to bother you.

I'm here to see Robert.

I'm sorry,
he's not in right now.

Who shall I say
was asking?

Oh, pardon me, I'm Louis vale,
a friend of Robert's.

Hannah Martin, Teresa's mom.

Nice to meet you.

I, uh, noticed the boat
wasn't in the driveway.

Are they out on the water?

Yeah, they're out there
somewhere.

I have no idea where.

Ah. Well, if you hear from him,

please ask him
to give me a call?

I sure will.

Thank you.

You're welcome.

Mr. Vale?

Yes?

Do you have a minute?

Uh, sure. Sure!

I know
this sounds silly,

but I'm...

I'm concerned about the family,
about where they are.

Oh, I'm sure they'll be fine.

Robert's been out on the water
many times.

It's just that I have
this nagging feeling

that something's not right.

I keep calling them,

but they don't
answer.

Yeah, I've tried to reach him
several times myself.

Do you think I'm overreacting?

No...

But, uh, I'll tell you what,
just to make sure,

why don't we go and see
chief Crawford?

Oh, that's a great idea.

Thank you.
I-I'll just get my bag.

- You bet.
- Okay.

Thank you!

[♪♪♪]

Excuse me.

Oh. Chief!

Hello, Louis, and madam.

Hi. My name
is Hannah Martin.

Chief, when you
get a chance,

bill wants you to radio him
at the island.

All right, set it up.

Make sure he gets
everything he needs.

Yes, sir.

Sorry, folks,
a lot of excitement recently.

We've got
a rogue bear,

a grizzly,
attacking campers.

As I was saying,

my name
is Hannah Martin,

my daughter
is Teresa Childs,

she's married to Robert Childs.

I know Robert,
known him a long time.

[Phones ringing]

Apparently, Robert
and his family

went out on his boat

and, uh, we can't seem
to reach him.

They haven't
been answering

their cell phones.

[Louis]: And it's just
not like Robert not to check in.

He just had a book released.

I'm positive he would want
to know what's happening.

Have you filed a report?

Well, uh-- we tried,

but they told us
not enough time has passed

to designate them
as "missing."

How long has it been?

Well, last time
I spoke to my daughter

was a day and a half ago.

That's not enough time.

We tried to reach them
on their cell phones.

Cell phone reception
gets pretty spotty out there.

Has anybody
tried radioing them?

I-I don't know.

[Officer]:
Excuse me. Chief?

Did you know
where they were going?

Only that they were
going boating for a few days.

And this was, uh...
A day and a half ago?

Yes.

Puget sound
is a big body of water,

go one way,
you're out in the pacific,

go the other

and you're in a maze of islands
and waterways.

Well, what about that storm
the other night?

Something
might've happened.

[Chief]: If I know Robert,

he would have anchored
in a sheltered cove.

He's not going to do
anything dangerous.

Sorry to
interrupt, chief,

we really need
your attention over here.

They haven't been missing
long enough,

if they're even missing at all.

You have to wait 48 hours.

My hands are tied,
there's nothing I can do.

I'm really sorry
about that.

I'll ask other boaters
to keep an eye out for them,

and to report in
if they see anything.

And to tell you the truth,
when I go on vacation,

I don't answer
the phone, either.

But--

I gotta go.

Thanks, chief.

Well...

Ridiculous...

I can't wait
another 48 hours

to begin
looking for them.

I don't know, Hannah.

Like the chief said,

we don't even know
if they're really lost.

You know, I got
this really weird phone call

last night.

It just sounded like
white noise in a tunnel,

but the more
I think about it,

the more I know that was
Teresa on the other end.

I just know it.

Hannah, I'm sure
they're going to be fine.

Just try not
to worry too much.

So, what're you going to do,
you going to head home?

No.

I'm going to make
a nuisance of myself.

Hell, I can be a real pain
in the neck

when I set my mind
to it.

[Chuckles]:
Antagonize the chief, huh?

Good way to get
his cooperation.

Well, look, if-- um--

if you, uh...
Need anything,

or you hear anything,

here's my card.

Just give me a call,
all right?

Thanks, Louis.

Try not to worry.

Yeah.

[♪♪♪]

[♪♪♪]

Okay. What do you got?

Oh, hell. I haven't seen
tracks that big before.

It's grizzly track.

I ain't seen a grizzly
in these parts

since I first
started guiding.

That explains why, uh...

Two darts couldn't
take him down.

[Scowls]: This ain't
no pesky black bear.

We got ourselves
a rogue bear,

a pissed-off grizzly.

Now what?

We got to try
and head him

to the north end
of the island,

before he hurts
somebody.

Fire a round off.

[Gunshot echoes]

Hunters!

Hello!

[Together]: Hello!

Help us!

[Teresa]: Can anybody hear us?
We need help!

[♪♪♪]

Fire another one!

[Gunshot echoing,
women shouting]

Hello!

Hello!

We could shoot up
a flare?

No. They're over
a mile away...

They'll never see us.

They're going
the wrong way!

They're going
away from us.

Someone will be back.

Did they hear you?

[♪♪♪]

Samson and I'll
keep on tracking,

over and out.

Bill just confirmed
it was a grizzly.

They put two darts in it,
and the thing just kept going.

This is serious.

It's been over 20 years

since a grizzly's
been in these parts.

Tell bill not
to take any chances.

If they can't
tranquilize it...

He should take the bear down,
if necessary.

Yes, sir.

Uh, bill,
this is headquarters--

[♪♪♪]

How you feeling?

It's not good.

I have to
go for help now, Robert.

Christy can stay here
and take care of things.

Maybe, um...

Maybe you should take
Christy with you, in case I...

Nothing
is going to happen to you.

Nothing.

Teresa!

Teresa!

Christy?

Christy!

Christy!

Christy!

[Twig snags]

Christy?

Teresa, what's happening?

Christy!

[Branches crackle]

[Snarling]

Christy, don't move.

[Roaring]

[Gasp in terror]

Grab a rock,
start throwing!

[Roars]

Keep throwing!

[Fires flare gun]

It worked.

He's leaving.

Yeah, but he's
going to be back,

'cause he knows
there's food here.

What happens
when he comes back?

We're not going to
stick around and find out.

I was just going to
fight with him.

It's okay, honey,
go down,

very slowly.

Ms. Martin?

Is there anything
I can help you with?

There's a coffee shop
down the street.

No, thank you,
I'm fine.

Just getting a breath
of fresh air.

I'll be right back.

Okay.

It's time to go for help.

No, but you can't
just leave us here,

and a bear out there!

I'm not leaving
anyone behind.

What are you doing?

We are taking this raft

over to the mainland.

I guess it got destroyed
in the storm.

What are we going to do now?

[Cash register ticks rapidly,
murmur of crowd]

Where have
all these people been?

I know.
It's nice, huh?

Hey, what did
the police have to say

about Robert
and his family?

Well, they're not
officially missing yet,

but chief Crawford
seems to think

that there's nothing
to worry about.

Yeah, I thought so.

He's probably
out on the sound,

you know, disconnected
from the world,

enjoying his family.

The today show called.

They want to interview Robert.

What do we tell them?

[Groans]

Just...

Tell 'em he's on vacation,

and that he'll call
as soon as he comes home.

Yeah, but
if all this happened

because of a little profile
with leanne vickers,

what do you think
is going to happen

after an interview
with the today show?

We have got
to find Robert.

This is his big shot,
and he is totally missing it.

Yeah, I know.

Excuse me.

[Telephones ring,
hum of busy station]

Ms. Martin?

Why don't you just
go home?

Just resting my eyes.

Is there any news?

We've sent a request
out to air-and-sea rescue

to make
radio contact,

and if they don't
hear back,

I'm sure
they're going to mobilize,

considering there was a storm
in the area.

We should
hear back soon.

You know, if you go home,

I can call you
when something happens.

No.

Chief says we haven't waited
long enough.

Well, I want to make sure
I'm first in line

when he decides it's time.

Well, I'll tell you what.

I will call you personally,

i give you my word.

You're a nice girl, Evelyn,
but I want to make sure...

[Raising voice]:
He knows I'm here!

Well, he knows you're here now.

I'll be waiting.

Okay, so what exactly
are we doing?

We are making
a stretcher

to carry your dad
out of here,

because we can't
stay here any longer.

You know,
you're so different.

What do you mean?

I thought
you were somebody else.

No, I've always been me.

I don't know,
I just kind of felt like

i had some stranger
living in my house.

Hi. I'm Teresa.

[Chuckles]: Hi.

I'm scared
about tomorrow.

Oh, honey, no, don't be scared,

and for tonight,
the bears are scared of fire.

We have to take care of dad.

Oh, we will, okay?

And we're going to
take care

of each other, too.

'Cause we're stronger

when we work together
like a family.

You know, could you give me

some of that cross-bracing
over there?

[Shivering and crying out
in her sleep]

[Echoes of bear growling]

[Yelps]

[Gasping in panic]

[Shouts]

[Bear growling and roaring]

[Screams echo]

No...

[Gasps in fright]

Come on, boy.

There's a nice boy...

[Telephone rings]

Hello?

Oh, hi, Hannah,
it's me, Louis vale.

Have they found them?

Uh, no, not yet,

but we are following your lead.

We're just on our way
down to the set

of the Seattle this morning
show.

Why, to talk about
Robert's book?

Yes, but mostly
to talk about the fact

that Robert and his family
are missing.

Now, they're going to
help us out here

by airing the segment a couple
of times during the day.

That's great.

The police won't like it.

[Laughs] The police
will get over it.

Anyway, what I want you to do

is gather up
some family pictures.

I just talked to
a friend of mine

down at the local
community TV.

They're going to send
a reporter down to meet you.

She'll meet you
at the police station.

I'm on it, Louis.

Thank you.

Not a problem, Hannah.

Just try not to worry.

We're going to find them,
all right?

Yeah.

Yeah...

Bye.

Bye-bye.

You ready to go?

Yeah.

Door's open.

All right, thanks there.

[Police radio squawks]

We asked the police, but...

You know, my family,
they loved the outdoors.

They went boating
on the islands

a few days ago,

but we haven't been
able to reach them.

Do you know where
they were heading?

We think they went camping
on one of the islands,

but since the storm,

I haven't
heard from them,

and I am worried sick.

Once again,

we are talking about
novelist Robert Childs,

who is missing,
along with his family.

Okay, I got enough.

I better go,
I want to make my deadline.

Be sure to send
those pictures over to me.

Well, I will.

This is great that you were able
to do this, thank you.

Good luck, Hannah.

I'll do my best to get this
on the air for you.

Yeah.

Come on,
let's go.

[Groaning]

Are you sure
you're up for this, dad?

Yeah, I'm good, kiddo.

Where's Teresa?

She's getting something
from the boat.

Okay.

Hey, you all right?

Do you still miss mom?

Every day, baby.

Me too.

I don't want to forget
what she looked like.

Well, just look
in the mirror, honey.

Do you love Teresa
more than you loved mom?

It's not about that, honey.

I love Teresa

with the same
deep kind of love

I had for your mother.

It's that same deep love
that I have for you.

Teresa loves you like that, too.

[Teresa sighs]

Now, you didn't
really think

we'd leave without
your lucky compass?

[Chuckles]

Didn't work so well
the other night, did it?

Hey, honey,

we can't take
all of the this stuff.

But we need it all.

No, no, we don't.

We got to
get rid of this.

We're going to keep
the food bag,

survival kit,
emergency kit...

But what are we
going to sleep in?

Hopefully, in
our own beds tonight.

All right...

And if not,

then we are going to build
a big fire

and a shelter.

Let's see.
All right...

Thank you, honey.

Up, up, up.

Robert, you ready?

Anytime.

Christy, ready?

Yeah.

Let's go.

[Panting and struggling]

Dad, are you okay?

Yeah, I'm
all right, honey.

Sorry I can't help you guys.

[♪♪♪]

Bear.

[Growling softly]

[Whispering]:
What do we do?

He sees us.

[Roars]

Go!

Go, Christy, pull!

I can't!
He's too heavy!

Honey, you have to
help me here!

Robert,
get rid of stuff!

He's still coming.

Hurry, pull!

Okay, he stopped
for the food,

but keep pulling!

[Panting and sobbing]

Don't stop,
don't stop.

[Snarls and roars]

What now?

Put down the harness,

and we have to go
across the river.

Hurry!

Okay, grab it.
Okay, pull!

[Roaring]

Guys...

Guys?

He flipped over!
He's going to drown!

[Roaring]

Keep pulling!

[Roars]

Robert!

Dad!

[Roaring]

You have to go around
and pull.

Robert!

Pull!

Pull, pull!

[Roaring]

Come on!

[Roaring]

Dad!

Robert!

Robert!

Pull him, honey.

[Roaring]

Robert!

Watch his head,
watch his head.

Robert...

Come on...

[Sobbing]

Okay, okay...

[Sobbing]: Please...

Robert, come on.

Come on, Robert, come on!

[Roaring]

Don't you do this
to me, Robert!

[Sobbing]

Stay with me, Robert,
stay with me...

Don't leave me...

[Spluttering]

[Crying in relief]

[Roaring]

Oh, my god.

Okay...

Can you move?

Help me get him up,

into these trees.

[Gasping and panting]

Okay, put him down here.

[Groans]

Do you still have
your cell phone?

Give it to me.

What are you
doing?

I'm going to use the battery
to create a spark.

Come on...

Come on...

Okay, we need more bark.

[Crying]

This is not going to help.

Stop that.

[Sobbing]

All right, enough.

Enough.

[Telephone rings]

Hello?

Hi. Could I speak with
Teresa Childs, please?

No, I'm sorry,
she's not here right now.

Can I take a message?

This is her mother.

This is
the doctor's office.

We ran the test again,

and it came back
positive.

Oh....

She's pregnant.

That's great news.

You'll pass that
along for us?

Yes, I'm sure she'll be
very happy to hear that.

Thank you. Thank you.

You're welcome.
Goodbye.

Oh...

[Dog starts barking]

Cody...

What is it?

What is it, boy?

[Barking insistently]

Cody, it's okay.

What is it, boy?

What is it?

Oh.

Out of the way, Cody.

Hi. Can I help you?

I'm star,
Christy's friend.

I'm just returning
some movies I borrowed.

Oh, thank you.

Will she be back soon?

Yes, I hope so.

Okay, bye.

Star...

Christy didn't happen
to tell you where she...

Where they were going,
did she?

She mentioned bear island.

Thank you.

Thank you so much!

Cody...

Guard the house.

[♪♪♪]

Evelyn!

What are you doing here?

I told you I'd call if--

i know where
they were headed.

Bear island.

Are you sure?

Yeah.

Wait here.

Hurry.

Please... hurry.

Chief...

Hannah Martin's
back.

Hey, don't even
fool around like that.

She's making us look bad here.

She said the family
went camping on bear island.

Bear island?

Bill and Samson

are still tracking
that grizzly out there.

We'd better give them
a heads-up.

What if the grizzly
finds the family first?

I don't even
want to think it.

Let's get bill and Samson
up to speed.

Yes, sir.

I know he's
around here somewhere.

Terrific.

That son-of-a-gun had
to come out somewhere,

somewhere around here.

Check for tracks
down there, bill.

All right.

Bill!

What do you got?

Some busted-up
cabin cruiser.

Anybody on it?

Nope.

Looks abandoned.

Headquarters,
this is deputy smalls.

Bill, this is Crawford.

Yeah, we got a busted-up boat

West Side of bear island.

Any signs?

No, but, uh,

our grizzly's
still active.

Stay with the bear.

I'll get search and rescue
to check out the boat.

10-4. Clear.

You haven't said
anything in a while.

I'm trying to figure out
what to do next.

You going to leave us?

Yeah, honey, I am.

If I head east,

I should hit
some campgrounds by evening,

or at least early morning.

Why can't we just go together?

Because your dad
can't make the trip.

I don't want to spend
another night out here.

I really want to
go home.

Oh, honey, I know.
Me too.

Okay, but I have to do this,

and you have to stay
for your father.

Are you
okay with that?

Yeah, I can take care of him
till you get back.

I know you can.

Now, I want you to keep
that fire going, okay?

Because bears
are scared of fire.

It's going to be okay.

I'm sorry.

Teresa, I was so mean to you.

Oh, honey, no...

No, honey, that's okay.

It's okay.

You know what?

We're going to be home soon,

and we're going to start
all over again, okay?

Come back soon.

I will.

I love you.

I love you, too, honey.

[♪♪♪]

[Rustling]

[Rustling]

Hello!

Hello!

Hello!

Oh, bill, we got a problem.

Human tracks.

Two, maybe
four hours old.

The grizz track's
right on top.

He's following them.

They're heading south-easterly.

What do you want to do?

Well, we can
cut back downwind,

set up an ambush,

and get to whoever
owns these tracks

before the grizz does.

Let's do it.

[Branches rustling]

[Rustling]

[Bear roars]

[Yelps]

[Bear snarling]

[Clears throat gently]

Cute title.

Is that your son-in-law's book?

Yes.

Yes, it is.
It's very good.

It's very funny.

Is it a self-help book?

I thought so, too,

but, no, it's actually
a very sweet story

about how he...

Met and fell in love with
my daughter.

The brainy woman.

Well, I see where she gets it.

One of my deputies
spotted a boat

beached on the rocks
at bear island.

That's them.

I-is that them?

Let's not jump to conclusions.

We don't know.

We have the coast guard
on the way,

and I have a deputy
on the island

who's searching for them.

I know it's them,
I just know it.

Please hurry.

We will.

I got to go.

Just let me know if
you need anything, okay?

Thank you.
Thank you.

This is air spotter 4194.

No sign of them
on this coastline, over.

[Radio chatter]

Chopper delta,
do a grid search north to south

on bear island. Over.

Copy.
initiating search grid.

Chopper delta over.

[Growling softly]

[Feedback whines loudly
over walkie-talkie]

Dammit!

Tracking team,

this is rescue 8-4-niner,
come in.

[Sighs]

Yeah, go ahead, bravo.

Bravo, we're on the east side
of bear island,

about 12 miles
from hatchet's cove,

following-up on a report on
a capsized fishing boat, over.

Yeah, well,
I called that in an hour ago,

so if you're just getting
to the water now,

you're not quite there.

You need to go to the west
side of the island, over.

Copy that, bravo, West Side.

Rescue, we...

Be advised
we found a set of tracks.

How many sets, bravo? Over.

Single. Over.

Be advised, we're looking for
two adults and one child.

Be advised we'll follow
those tracks. Over.

Roger. Over and out.

Just hope he finds it
before the bear does.

Aye, sir.

He ain't eating
anymore,

just tears them apart.

That son of a gun
ain't right.

He's heading west.

He's zigzagging
and back-tracking

all over the place.

We got to watch he doesn't
sneak up behind us.

No more screwing around
with these darts.

We got to kill him

before he kills
someone else

first chance he gets.

Let's back-track
up the trail a bit,

and see if we can find
some fresh tracks.

Yeah.

There!

Right there.
Over there.

Bring 'er straight in.

Slow her down, now.

We don't want to
bump into anything.

Let's just take a look-see.

Nah, it doesn't look good.

That was a pretty
nice shot, honey.

Dad!

[Robert groans]

Hey...

Hey, how's it going?

Oh, not
too good, honey.

Well, Teresa said

she was going to
be back soon, okay?

So just hang on.

Okay.

Nah, there's nobody in here.

Where's that bullhorn?

Good.

Can anyone hear me?

Hello!

Can anyone hear me?

This is the coast guard!

Dad, someone's
on the shore.

Help!

We're over here!

Someone help us!
We're over here!

This is the coast guard.
Hello!

What are you doing?

I have to go back to the shore

before they leave.

Teresa said that bears
were scared of fire.

Wait, Christy...

I love you, dad.

Wait. Christy!

Christy, they're...

Christy!

[Coast guard calling distantly]

Christy!

Hello!

This is
the coast guard!

Someone help us!

Hello!

Hello!

Someone help us!

Hello!

Someone please help us!

Hello!

Can anyone hear me?

This is the coast guard.

Help us!

Please help...
Please help us.

[Struggling]

If anyone's out there,
can you please respond!

[♪♪♪]

Someone help us!

I can hear you!
Just stay where you are!

Come on.

Command, this is
rescue 8-4-niner.

We have a survivor.
Stand by.

You have to help my dad.

He's really hurt.

This is 8-4-niner

we're going to need
a medical evac.

Our GPS is on file.
Get the kit.

Show me where he is.

Hannah...

You're going to the pier.

They found your family.

Oh, is everybody
all right?

I don't have
any details,

but everybody's alive.

I've got a car outside.

[Crying]: Oh...

We can't leave
Teresa out there.

We're not
going to, miss,

but right now,

we need to get
your father onboard

and stabilized.

I've called a rescue chopper,
and we will find her.

Stay with your dad
right now.

He needs you.

[Sirens wail]

Robert?

Is he all right?
Is he going to be all right?

Where's Teresa?
I don't see Teresa.

They're still
looking for Teresa.

What?

They can't find Teresa!

[Sobbing]

Shh, shh...

[Wolf howls distantly]

Ow...

Hang on, Robert.

He's stalking us,
isn't he?

Let's back-track
up the trail a bit.

We'll see if we can pick up
some different tracks.

[Rustling]

Shh, shh!

Bear, bear...

[Bear grunts and snarls]

[Bear growls]

[Roars]

Lady, lady!
Get out of there!

Don't shoot,
you might hit the woman!

Lady, get out of there!
Get out of there!

Look out!
Look out!

Come on, bear, over here!

[Snarling]

Come on...

[Roaring]

[Samson grunts,
his knife slices]

Shoot him, bill, shoot him!

[Bear roaring]

[Samson groans and shouts
bear roars]

[Men cry out
rifle goes off]

[Snarling]

You okay?

Yeah, yeah.
Go help the woman.

Go help the woman.

[Wincing]

[Snarling]

[Bear roars,
Teresa yelps]

[Thud]
Ah!

[Growling]

Someone help, please!

[Bear roars,
Teresa screams]

Ah!

[Roaring]

[Claws rake,
Teresa gasps]

[Roars]

Hey!
Over here!

[Rifle blasts]

[Bear snuffles and snarls]

[Rifle blasts again]

[Bear groans weakly]

Lady, let's go,
come on!

You're safe, come on!

I got you,
come on!

This way now,
come on!

Grab my hand.

Let's go.
Up, up, up, up.

[Bear groans faintly]

Rescue one,
this is deputy bill smalls,

bear island.

We need medical assistance
immediately.

[Sirens wail,
helicopter whir overhead.

Teresa...

Teresa...

Mom...

How's Robert?

He's good.

We had a little scare
with him,

but he's
going to be fine.

Oh, thank god.

Christy?

She's great.

She said you were amazing.

Mm.

My god, I was
so scared out there, mom,

but I had to keep going
'cause they were counting on me.

That's courage, honey.

That's courage...

[♪♪♪]

[Hum of conversation]

[Chatting quietly]

Have a great time.

Your father's book
is doing very well.

Yup, number one with a bullet

on the New York times
best-seller list.

Yup...

Ladies and gentlemen,

if I could have
your attention, please.

I'd just like to thank you all
for coming here

and helping us celebrate

six months

on the New York times
best-seller list,

our very own Robert Childs.

[Cheering and applause]

Well done, Robert!
Congratulations!

Thank you.

Well, I don't know
about you,

but I think it's time
for another book.

[Applause
and murmurs of agreement]

I'm already thinking about it.

[Laughter]

Bob, congratulations.

Hey, thank you.
Thanks.

And thank you all
for being here. Thank you.

[Conversations resume]

[♪♪♪]

Thank you.

Well, I'm
super excited

to have
a little brother.

Aw...

Hey, so,
I had an idea, guys.

What do you think about

paragliding
in the Amazon?

We could camp
in the jungle.

[Teresa and Christy]: No.

All right, that's okay,

because what
I really want to do

is go kayaking
on snake river.

[Teresa and Christy]:
No.

Okay,
how about...

Trekking through
the himalayas

with yaks?

No!

Oh, come on,
that's a great idea!

I could put a baby seat
on one of the yaks.

Just tell me you'll
think about it...

[♪♪♪]
