Criminal Minds: Beyond Borders (2016–2017): Season 2, Episode 12 - Abominable - full transcript

Over 68 million Americans

leave the safety
of our borders every year.

If danger strikes,

the FBI's
International Response Team

is called into action.

♪♪

Reach your hands to heaven.

Palms to the sky.

Let the spirit of
the Himalaya fill your soul.

Bring your hands to your heart.

And inhale



the love of yourselves.

And exhale
to close your practice.

Namaste.

Namaste.

Beautiful practice,
all of you. Beautiful.

Hey.

Hey. Hey.

-Bye.
-See you later.

♪♪

Call me a traditionalist,

but the map that I have
says 2-9-0-2-8.

Okay, so, what?
So cartographers can't do math?

8,840 meters

is 29,029 feet.



Guys, it's one foot difference
over almost 30,000.

Why is it so important?

-It's precision.
-Accuracy.

Exactly.
And the conventionally

accepted height
of Mount Everest is tw--

29,035 feet. AMEE used GPS
to measure bedrock back in '99,

but if you wanna argue science,
I got Mencin on speed dial.

Uh, what is happening?

You're afraid to fly,
remember?

Please don't remind me.

Morning, everyone.

Yeah, Jack, I think that
Monty's lost again.

Not this time he's not.

Nepal is still recovering
from last year's earthquake.

I asked him to join to help us
with communications.

First international mission?

Yep.

Fine. Rookie hazing it is.

But that red shirt on
the away team, bad choice.

Monty,
you wanna get us started?

Yeah. Uh, two days ago...

Meegan Whitney of
Haddonfield, Illinois,

went missing in
the Khumbu Valley

on the Nepal side
of the Himalayas.

Now she was last seen
with this outfit,

The Spiritual Awakenings
Adventure Travel firm.

Now they specialize
in high-end yoga expeditions.

Yoga expeditions?
That's a thing?

Yeah, "Eat, Pray, Love,"
big business nowadays.

Yeah, but not
Eat, Pray, Love, Die,

which is what happened
in Meegan's case.

Warning, these are
a bit graphic.

From the condition of
the campsite

and what was left of
her body,

initial science suggested
an animal attack.

Yeah, these are horrific.

Initial signs? You don't think
this was an animal?

A local zoologist insisted
there are no natural predators

in the Khumbu Valley,
and there've been no reports

of migratory disturbances
in this area this year.

So...murder?

The Nepali government
has classified

Meegan Whitney's death
as the result of a...

yeti attack.

You have gotta be kidding me.

I wish I was.

Apparently, they receive
dozen of reports

of yeti encounters
each year.

It's a legitimate
cause of death in the country.

Well, I cannot imagine
that either the State Department

or Meegan's family is satisfied
with blaming her death

on a mythological creature.

And that's why
they reached out to us.

So let me get this straight.

We're being sent halfway
around the world

to find out
if this is a murder

or if there's an animal
on the loose

that shouldn't be there?

Or to actually find

the Abominable Snowman
of the Himalayas.

Given the Nepali government's
official stance on the matter,

let's consider the local
investigation as inconclusive.

We hit the ground,
we're starting from square one.

This was an American girl.

We owe it to her and her family
to find out what happened.

♪♪

♪♪

A Buddhist proverb
tells us,

"There are only two mistakes
one can make

"along the road to truth --

not starting and not going
all the way."

Hey, Monty. Whatcha doin'?

Optimizing this receiver's
multipath objection algorithm.

Under normal circumstances,

satellite transmissions
would be picked up directly

by a terrestrial antenna,
but in the mountainous terrain,

the signal reflects off
of rock faces and...

And so you really are here
to work on communications?

What else would I...

Mayfield Ruth Jarvis.

I may have let it slip
that you're a yeti believer.

I'm sorry. It seemed relevant.

I'm here for comm support.

Okay, her description
is inaccurate.

I am not a "yeti believer."
I am at most an enthusiast.

Tomato, tomato.

I'm sorry. Call it
scientific curiosity.

I just don't see any evidence
disproving its actual existence.

See? What'd I tell ya?
Total believer.

Totally.

What have you been up to?

We have been working up
a victimology

for Meegan Whitney.

She seemed like a sweet girl.

She was from a small town.

Her family ran
the local hardware store.

Her parents, Tom and Edith,

died three years ago
in a car crash.

Meegan spun out a little.
Lost her way.

That's understandable.

And two years ago,
she got into yoga.

Found her center.

Any enemies?

Doesn't seem like it.

Certainly not in
Middle-of-Nowhere, Nepal.

But the police report cleared
her fellow trekkers,

so if this was murder,
it wasn't pre-meditated.

If it was murder,

these crime scene photos
are inconclusive.

There's nothing here to indicate
whether the killer is human

or animal.

There's a third option.

Yeah, I think that we can all
agree it wasn't the yeti.

Of course it was the yeti.

Agent Garrett, the Nepali people
have plenty of experience

with these kinds of incidents.

We've been having them
for centuries.

Senani Thakur, no disrespect,
but have you considered

any other possibilities?

Why?

The circumstances in this case
are consistent

with every other yeti attack
on record.

None of which have been
scientifically confirmed.

No mind.

Today, it is our great honor

to have the much-lauded
International Response Team

here in Nepal
to help us catch it.

Oh, boy.

Uh, your report indicated
that there were witnesses.

Not to the attack itself,
but, uh,

one of her fellow trekkers
discovered the body

the following morning.

The expedition was called off.

The survivors returned here
to Kathmandu.

They're -- they're right here
in this hotel.

Now what happened to the body?

Porters brought it down
with the expedition.

It's being held in storage
at the army barracks.

Porters?
You had it carried down?

Wouldn't you normally
air lift it?

My apologies,
but Nepal is one of

the poorest countries in Asia.

My department has
one helicopter.

It was down for repairs.

It seems to be working now.

If you'd like, I can arrange
to have you taken up

the mountain to the attack site
so you may examine it yourself.

That would be fine, thank you.

We'd also like to speak with
some of the witnesses.

Whatever you require, sir.

Good. Mae,
while Clara and I do that,

you can arrange to have
Meegan's body transferred

to the plane for
supplemental autopsy.
Sure thing.

Monty, have you finished setting
up communications on the jet?

Powered up and operational.

Good. Then why don't you head up
the mountain with Simmons?

You can establish
a satellite link at the scene.

Up...the mountain

in the...helicopter
that seems to be working?

You'll be fine.

And you thought
the big airplane was fun.

Wait till you get a load
of the whirlybird.

About those witnesses?

I can't believe she's gone.

We're so sorry for
your loss.

Thank you.

Miss Gates, how did you
and Meegan meet?

We met in Bhutan in 2014.

Um, she was really struggling
with the loss of her parents,

and I was going through
a messy divorce.

And we just kinda hit it off.

So back in the States,
you were close?

Kinda like camp friends,
you know?

Friends that you see
not so much on the day-to-day,

but when you go away together,
you're inseparable.

And you had done several
of these trips together.

Oh, yeah.

We went to Bali
and, uh, Galápagos

and Sri Lanka.

We both came to Nepal
earlier last year.

We were so excited
to get back here

because it just seemed
so...transcendent.

I just never thought anything
like this would happen.

What else can you tell us
about Meegan's relationships

with the other people
on the retreat?

Would anyone have wanted
to hurt her?

Oh, heavens no.

We were all like this
singular organism

moving together,
breathing as one.

And yet, the night before
Meegan died,

she set up her tent away from
the rest of the group

near the woods.

Yes, she wanted to emulate
the masters.

The whole point of this trip
was to study with

the local maharishi,

A group of men
that have chosen

to live their lives
in isolation,

free of distractions
from the world.

And Meegan was obsessed
with this idea.

So she wanted to be
more like them.

Yes. Yes.

And now she's dead.

How does something
so horrible happen?

We have men at the site
right now

attempting to answer
that question.

Thought there'd be more snow.

Yeah, we're still
a couple thousand feet

below the permafrost.

This sure sets up like
an animal attack.

Remote location, victim ripped
apart where she was killed.

Killer had patience.

He took his time,
waited till she was alone.

She's attacked here
on the outside of her tent,

and she's dragged into
the woods.

And that's where
she was disemboweled.

Well, there were no reports
of screaming.

So we can assume that whatever
it was, it got the jump on her.

Yeah, well, look at
the distribution of blood here.

The spatter here
on the outside of the tent,

this is all from the attack.

But the stuff here
on the inside...

All this is secondary transfer.

Which means this tent
was ransacked

after Meegan was dead.

Okay, wait, wait. If this was
an animal hunting its prey,

it already has its food,

there'd be no reason
to go back inside.

But on the other hand,

if someone was trying to make
this look like an animal,

or a yeti attack,

it'd probably look
a lot like this.

I don't know, guys.

If a human did this, they did
a pretty convincing job

at making it look
otherwise.

I've got claw
and bite marks here.

It's clear signs of
animal predation.

I don't understand.

I mean, why would someone want
to make this look

like a yeti attack?

Cover up a murder?

Or to protect
the area's reputation.

A yeti attack plays more to
the Himalayan narrative

than unsolved murder.

Certainly,
you don't mean to imply

this is some kind
of cover-up.

Tourism is the number one
industry in this country.

It's possible that someone
could've seen this

as an opportunity to
generate some interest.

What's that Occam's Razor
you people are so fond of?

The simplest explanation
is usually correct.

I tell you,
this was the yeti.

Yeah, well, the simplest
explanation usually doesn't

assume the supernatural.

And normally, I would have
DNA to rule it out,

but unfortunately,
given the number of people

that handled the body
bringing it down the hill,

isolating the killer
is gonna be impossible.

Okay, if this was an animal,
do you know what kind it was?

No, the decomp is
so extensive.

I mean, I can't even tell
if this damage was done

peri or postmortem.

I mean, it's even possible that
a scavenger fed off of her body

after she was already dead.

I am sorry, guys.

This doesn't seem to be
narrowing down

the way I thought it would.

All right, well,
it's still early up here.

We're gonna search the woods,

see if there's anything
the local authorities

might've missed.

Okay, can you give me a hand?

I wanna roll her over.

Well, that's weird.
Her hips are loose.

Yoga does promote flexibility.

Well, not this much.

All of her joints are loose.

And once I realized that

her pelvic ligaments
were loose,

it led me to Relaxin,

which is a vasodilator.

It softens cartilage
and loosens joints.

You think she was drugged?

No Relaxin isn't
a pharmaceutical.

It is a hormone that is released
when a body prepares

to incubate a fetus.

Meegan was pregnant.

And the initial autopsy
didn't discover it because

all of her internal organs
were already missing.

But HCG levels suggest that
she was about 13 weeks along.

That would mean
conception occurred during

her last trip to Nepal.

And that someone has a personal
relationship with the victim.

It could explain the overkill.
It might mean that

the disembowelment wasn't
part of a cover-up.

I mean, what if Meegan went
to surprise someone

with the news of the pregnancy,
and it didn't go well?

Ms. Gates, were you aware
that Meegan was pregnant?

What?
We checked with the other
trekkers registered

with Spiritual Awakenings.

None of them were in Nepal when
you and Meegan came this year.

Do you know of anyone else
who might be the father?

No.

I can't think of anyone.

You said she was obsessed
with the maharishi.

Were they part of
the expedition?

No. They were locals.

Sort of like
guest instructors?

♪♪

Well, Jack, you were right.

According to
Spiritual Awakenings,

a man named Yogi Pemba led
the class the morning

that Meegan was murdered.

Now I did some digging,
and Pemba's real name

is Dave Dennis.

And he is from
Bakersfield, California.

Well, given the name change,
let me guess --

Dave Dennis has a record.

Yes, sir.

In 2005, he fled the U.S.
after a yoga student

with whom he had been, ahem,
"bumping chakras,"

filed domestic assault charges
against him.

So if this Pemba is the father
of a child he didn't want...

He would have both motive
and opportunity.

You got a 20 on
this wayward shaman?

According to the website,
he lives in Namche Bazaar,

not far from where
Meegan was murdered.

Call Simmons and Monty,
see if they can pay him a visit.

No, they're not the same.

The sasquatch is a hoax
perpetuated by

cryptozoologists in a way
to justify

their so-called profession.

Right, so let me
get this straight.

You think that Bigfoot
is a...

A cash grab.
Just follow the money.

I mean, besides, the yeti is
a legend that dates back

to pre-history.

It was supported by, you know,
Reinhold Messner

and Sir Edmund Hillary.

Sure, sure. Makes total sense.

Monty, are you there?

Mae, tell me there's
no poison sumac in Nepal.

We got a suspect.

It's a Dave Dennis,

a.k.a. "Yogi Pemba."

He lives in a town called
Namche Bazaar.

Okay, yeah, that's not too far
from where we are.

I'll round up Simmons,
and we'll go check it out.

Uh, yo, Simmons,
we got a lead.

Matt?

Uh, Mae, it's a little...
creepy out here.

Be nice to have some company.

What was that?

♪♪

Damn it.

Simmons?

Matt?

I'm out. No.

No. Unh-unh.

Absolutely not.

Hey.
Aah!

Where were you?!

Breathe.

Look, Mae called,
and Jack wants us to go find

some guy named Yogi Pemba.

Pemba didn't do it.

How do you know?

Well, if the neck tattoo
is to be believed,

this is Pemba.

♪♪

♪♪

The same bite marks
and the same mutilation.

So whatever killed
Meegan Whitney

also killed Pemba.

Given the proximity
to her campsite,

I'd say they were killed at
or around the same time.

Yeah, decomp would support that.

But lucky for us, up here,
the temps are cooler,

and it looks like the shade
of the trees

has kept this body in better
condition than the first one.

You ever assist with
a field autopsy?

It's not really
on my bucket list.

Yeah, well, it is now.

♪♪

So what did
the police report say

about the monks
at the monastery?

That they didn't see anything.
They were genuinely unhelpful.

Well, it probably has
something to do with

the tenuous relationship
that Buddhists have

with Nepal's
mostly Hindu government.

This guy was local.
They know something.

Wanna go check it out?

So let's step this out.

After her morning yoga,
Meegan returns to her tent,

alone.

The UnSub stalks her
from the cover of woods.

When the time is right --

He attacks.

Meegan goes down.

The UnSub drags her
into the woods.

While he's ripping
her body apart --

Pemba arrives.

He spots the attacker,
too late.

Pemba runs.

The killer gives chase.

And Pemba makes it pretty deep
into the woods,

so the killer probably isn't
moving that fast.

But something must've
slowed the Yogi down.

♪♪

Pemba loses sight
of the killer.

And he thinks

he may have gotten away.

So rather than give away
his position by moving,

he hides out, until...

The way that the flesh is
torn from the bone,

eating the internal organs,
I mean,

everything about this
screams predator.

But these bite marks are...

human?
That didn't sound
too convincing.

Well, they're the right size

with the appropriate
inter-dental spacing,

but the teeth that did this
were jagged,

like you find in a carnivore.

Or in cases of
extreme dental attrition.

So...human-oid?

I'm just trying to keep
an open mind.

Well, one thing is for sure.
This wasn't a cover-up.

The UnSub did not hesitate.
He just bit right in.

This was his nature.

Here. Come over
and take a look.

I'll take your word for it.

But see, then the problem is
that means cannibal.

And cannibals are
almost always ritualistic.

Their kills are planned
and ceremonial.

This was instinctive.

In-human.

Monty, the killer is not

an 8-foot tall
Abominable Snowman.

Thanks, Scully,
but neither is the yeti.

This is something we like
to call the dragon paradox.

Okay. Fine. Dragon paradox.
What is it?

Okay, imagine a knight
goes on an adventure

and he takes his party,

but everyone in the party dies
except for the knight.

You play too much D&D.

Beaten and bloodied,

he has to return to the castle
to explain his defeat.

Kneeling in the throne room,
does our knight tell the king

that the monster that ravaged
his entire party

was 4-feet tall
and walked with a limp?

No. He tells the king that
the monster was 20 feet tall

and he breathed fire.

Exac-- Why...does he do that?

Well, because he is
the brave knight,

and losing to
a short, green gimp

would ruin his reputation.

Come on. With everything
you know about victimology?

Okay, no. No, no.

The knight has sworn to
be honest

and honor his king,

but he still exaggerates
because...

Because post-traumatic memories
are unreliable.

So the size of the monster
that he remembers

represents the size
of the threat.

Which is why we think
the yeti is 8 feet tall

when most
scientific theories suggest

that it's the missing link

or an offshoot
of some feral homo sapien.

Either of which would
make it human-sized.

Exactly.

There's only one problem.

There's no such thing
as a yeti.

Those men should not
be here.

Their guns will bring death.

It will anger Chomolungma.

The Mother Goddess
of the world.

Lama Vajra, death has already
come to the Khumbu.

I heard.

A woman

and a man who called
himself "Pemba."

So you knew him.

We were...familiar.

Do you know
who the killer is?

The army thinks it's a yeti.

The army is interested only
in confirming

what it already believes.

So you do know
who killed him.

I don't suppose karma is
the answer you're looking for.

Pemba was a charlatan,
a false prophet.

What he brought to this valley
was unnatural.

And nature has a way
of taking care of itself.

There any chance you had
a hand in this "nature"?

I swear to you
that I did not.

I do not know
who this killer is,

but I caution you.

Larger forces than man
or beast are at play here.

Chomolungma is not
to be trifled with.

And if you interfere
with her will,

she can be merciless.

Thank you. I will
keep that in mind.

Is there anything else
you can give me?

Here.

A blessing,

to ward off evil.

Namaste, Miss Seger.

♪♪

Jack, I got a print.

Three toes, cleft.

Evidence of
partial amputation.

It could be human.

Or abominable.

You joke.

This isn't gonna do much
to settle the locals.

Here's another one.

Yeah.

Well, at least we got
a clear path. We could...

try to follow these things.

Oh, no.

Stop! Stop! Don't move!

What do you mean
"destroying evidence"?

The UnSub's trail leads here.

Your men are contaminating
the area.

I can assure you, these men
are the finest hunters

on the planet.

For animals, maybe,
but we're hunting a man.

The behaviors are
fundamentally different.

Animals run on instinct.

This killer can think strategy.

He laid in wait
for his victims.

We're not gonna catch him by
wandering around in the woods.

We have to adapt our pursuit
to his mind-set.

Senani Thakur, this man is
a world-class tracker.

You'll have a better chance
of catching this monster

if you listen to him.

The man that we are
searching for has been injured.

This is a photo of
his footprint.

Now he appears to have
a partial amputation

of his right foot.

And you can tell by the weak
leading edge of this print

that he's probably
dragging his leg.

The first thing we do is divide
the area into quadrants.

Now you'll start by looking
for broken branches.

Look for pieces of clothing.

Anything that may indicate
where he may have passed.

Now note the directionality
of the break.

That will help tell you
which way he's headed.

Now remember, this killer
probably knows

that we're tracking him.

So he's gonna use cunning,
he will use deception

to try to throw us
off his path.

Now it's been just over
48 hours since he was here.

We have fallen leaves,
loose debris that may have

covered these prints up.

Be aware of them.

Hey! Hey!

♪♪

Gather your men.
We'll check it out.

♪♪

♪♪

♪♪

Well, I think it's safe
to say that Meegan and Pemba

aren't the killer's
first victims.

That explains the lack
of hesitation in his kills.

I mean, this guy's practiced.

Mae said she had parts for
at least six different bodies

she and Monty were taking
down the hill.

Some of them looked like
they'd been here a while.

Dead animals.

I think he's trying
to store them.

Well, winter's coming.
Food's gonna be scarce.

Something's not right.

Cannibals don't usually hoard
their victims for food.

Dahmer -- didn't he keep his
victim's heads in his fridge?

Yeah, but as trophies.

And for sexual gratification.

The behavior says one thing,
forensics says another.

I tell ya, at this point,

I'm willing to start giving

Monty's wild theories
some credence.

It's gotta be one or the other.
Which one is it?

Animal or human?

It's human.

Animals don't collect
souvenirs.

Your blessings didn't work.

Did they not?

We found more bodies in
a cave near here.

Each of them was wearing
one of your bracelets

when they died.

That is unsurprising.

We give those to every visitor
who stops by.

Are you here to accuse me?

I tell you again,
I am no killer.

But you do know more
than you're letting on.

Why didn't you tell me
about the other victims?

Miss Seger, do you know how many
people died in this valley

in the last year?
-Of course. The earthquakes.

There has been suffering
and death

throughout the Khumbu.

Yet you are concerned with
a handful of souls

who did not belong here.

Is that why you're not
helping us?

Because they were outsiders?
To the contrary.

I am not indifferent
to the suffering of any man.

But nature has spoken.

Who am I to question nature?

There's a killer out there
who needs to be stopped.

You cannot stop Samsara.

It is an endless cycle
of destruction and rebirth.

Do you know what happens
to those who fail

to reach enlightenment?

Yeah, when someone dies, they
return as a lower life form.

And they begin a descent into
the realm of the beast.

Okay, we get it.
You didn't like them.

Jack, we have been spending
all of this time

trying to decide whether
our killer is human or animal.

He's telling us it's both.

Thousands died
in the earthquakes,

and you think one of them
was reincarnated as the killer.

There are many forms
of rebirth.

Jack, what if he didn't die?

What if our killer was injured
during the earthquake,

but he survived?

There have been some accounts
about people who have

developed into
an animalistic state

after suffering a severe
neurological trauma.

Would that explain
the cannibalism

and the hoarding?
It might.

If so, we may be looking
for an instinct-driven

atavistic killer.

And here I thought you did not
believe in yeti.

Mae, are you there?

Jack, this is the worst case
of mix and match ever.

Look, we have reason to believe
that the UnSub may be someone

who was injured in
last year's earthquakes.

Well, it'd fit our timeline

based on what we've got
down here.

Yeah, it looks like all
of these victims

disappeared
within the last year.

Any luck with identities?

Well, based on
the expedition patches

that were found on some
of the clothing,

several of them could've been
from a Swiss trekking group

that went missing
about six months ago.

Jack, how much trauma would
it take to turn a normal person

into someone --

Gotta go. Call you back.

What happened?

I don't know. I was inside.

He says it was the yeti.

Go. I got him.

Come on.

Go, go!

You're gonna be okay.

This is the last set
from the sequencer.

Well, you were right.

I isolated nine
different sets of DNA.

Six are from
the Swiss expedition.

I haven't found matches
for two of the others,

although, genetic markers
do indicate they may be local.

So there may not be a match.

What about this one?

It's common to all parties

and it was found in
the bite marks on Pemba.

That's your killer.

Western European markers
as well as Polynesian.

The 2015 quake was
his trigger.

And I use that as a filter
with missing persons.

Monty, you are a genius.

Oh, man. This poor guy
lost everything.

This guy isn't evil.
He's injured.

Call Jack.
I know where he's going.

Jack, you there?

Jack?

What do we do?

Call the army.
Order us up a chopper.

♪♪

You know, the problem with
the DOD is they design

everything for desert warfare.

If they just understood that 20%
of the planet was mountainous,

then...ah! Got it.

Jack, do you read?

This way.

So you really ain't have nothing
else but this red coat?

Monty, it's Jack. Go ahead.

We got the DNA
on the killer.

It's an Ian Wilson.
He's from New Zealand.

Uh, 2015 earthquake triggered
an avalanche

that wiped out his entire
mountain climbing expedition.

Authorities assumed that
everyone in the expedition died

including Ian and his wife.

But somehow, he survived.

Jack, he's not a monster.

He's a very damaged
individual.

He attacked one of the Nepalis.
We're tracking him.

Where are you now, Mae?

Uh, we are at the base
of the avalanche,

where his wife was killed.

♪♪

He's been here.

About a kilometer that way.

Stick tight, Mae.
We're on our way.

♪♪

Jack, he's here.

Mr. Wilson?

We know who you are.

You're hurt.

And we can help you, please.

There's no need to be scared.

Speak for yourself.

I'm gonna put my gun down.

Are you crazy?

You do this every week?

Agent Garrett, yeti or no,

he is a monster responsible
for many deaths.

This man is suffering from
a neurological trauma.

Charging in and killing him
is not justice.

We need to try to
apprehend him.

If threatened,
my men will respond.

If they are threatened.
Those are my agents up there.

They have this situation
under control.

Tell your men.

This is bad.

The yeti myth is part of
their identity.

Any move he makes will be
seen as aggression.

Mae, you're about to have
company.

Ian, there are men coming
and they wanna hurt you.

Please, this is what
Charlotte would've wanted.

He can't understand you.

Maybe I should
shut the hell up.

We know about the avalanche
that killed your wife.

The search party looked for you
for three days,

but they had to turn back
because of the aftershocks.

You could hear them,
couldn't you?

I cannot imagine the pain,

the feeling of abandonment.

But, Ian, killing is not
the answer.

Stay back.

We have it under control.

Ian, please. Come with us.

We can get you help.

Ian, no, please.

Namaste.

-Thanks.
-Mm-hmm.

Well, I guess that puts
the yeti myth to bed

once and for all.

I doubt it brings much comfort
to Meegan's family.

But they do have some closure.

You know, I have to admit that
when I saw those footprints,

even I started to believe
a little bit.

I can't imagine what it took
to survive an injury like that.

Well, that speaks
to the strength of
the human spirit.

Yeah, but was he?
You know, human?

Having devolved to such
an animalistic state?

I think so.

I think on some level he knew
what he was doing

when he charged those men.

You think he wanted to die?

I think he was suffering.

I think he wanted to be
with his wife.

You know, there's this
Buddhist concept

called Kalyana-mittata,
or spiritual companionship.

And they say that it
transcends death or rebirth.

Well, maybe he got
what he wanted.

Maybe he did.

You know, technically,
this doesn't disprove

the evidence of the yeti.

There could still be
undiscovered species out there.

-Hey, Monty.
-Yes, sir.

Enough with the yeti.

-Let's go home.
-Yes, please.
