[officer 1] Where'd he go?

[officer 2] Gotta be here somewhere.

[both] Oh!

[Hank] I don't know what to say.

I'm so sorry about this.

Well, it was bound to happen eventually.

What do you mean?

What was it last time?

You attended a drive-in movie, I believe.

Hidden in the bed of a pick-up truck.

I was a fool to think I could ever leave these walls.

Don't be hard on yourself, Hank.

Your need to be out in the world is natural.

But I don't belong there anymore.

I can still create a holowatch for you like Kurt's.

[Hank] All the same, it's still hiding.

Besides,

if you'd seen how my rage got the better of me...

I really can't be trusted out there.

[indistinct chatter]

[yawning]

I was up half the night

working on this stinking Earth science report.

What do you know about redwoods?

Only that they make great hot tubs.

[Hank] I never asked to be a mutant.

Why me?

In order to find that answer,

each of us is faced with a unique journey of discovery.

Journey? Where do you go when you can't be seen by the public?

Professor,

did you ask him yet?

Uh, ask him?

What are you up to, Kitty?

Well, maybe he could take some of us to the redwood forest.

Just to get away.

Ah, yes.

Hank, we were thinking

perhaps you'd like to lead a field trip to the California redwoods.

Up for it?

What?

No, I'm sorry. I can't.

It really is a marvelous idea.

You can choose which students you feel would benefit from it--

Someone else should do it.

Please, Hank.

Just imagine what you could teach them

in a natural environment like the redwoods.

Untouched by man, miles away from another human being.

It's a nature study sojourn

for those students who are falling behind in their Earth science studies.

[laughing]

Me? But-but my grades are improving.

Uh-huh.

With the speed of a glacier.

You, too, Evan.

Aw, come on, teach.

Can't I bring my grade up some other way?

Like going to the park.

There's green stuff there.

Does this forest have any sidewalks?

[Rahne] It's fine the way it is, Roberto.

Yeah, you're missing all the fun.

It was plenty camouflaged.

A few more branches couldn't hurt.

I smell overachiever issues.

These things weigh a ton.

This gear is nothing.

Ah! Just feel that sun, man.

It totally juices me. Yeah!

You don't look so good.

I'm going through pavement withdrawal, man.

This is cruel and unusual, teach.

[Hank] Send me an e-mail

and I'll take your complaint under advisement.

[soothing music playing]

[music continues playing]

-[Kitty screams] -[Bobby grunts]

[Kitty] Whoo-hoo!

[Bobby] Yes!

[all cheering]

[both laughing] Hey!

Uh, is anything wrong, Mr. McCoy?

Oh, no, Kitty.

Everything's fine.

Out here, in this place,

I'm enjoying the animal I've become,

but I don't want to.

This is not who I am.

Well, then, maybe it's who you were meant to be.

We should head back to camp.

Round up the others, OK?

Sure thing, Mr. McCoy.

[splashing]

You can't go back either, huh?

[splash]

[snap]

Huh?

[birds chirping]

[indistinct chatter]

[overlapping conversations]

This hair matches no known species.

Look at the size of this footprint.

My motion activated infrared camera shot a photo of him in a cave.

-You see there? That's a shoulder. -[man] No, that's a wing.

Looks like a flipper to me.

Or a nose.

What do you think, Dr. Patronet?

This is all very interesting,

but it's hardly proof.

[all] Oh, come on!

-What do you mean? -Look at its shoulder.

[man] Here's your proof.

I give you Bigfoot.

[all gasp]

Is he wearing trunks?

[man 1] Uh, maybe he stole them out of some campsite.

[man 2] I mean, could he be that intelligent?

[man 3] It obviously lives on fish,

but lacks the manual dexterity to hold on to them.

[all murmuring]

[shotgun pumping]

[all gasping]

Let's bag us an ape-man.

Your first assignment is to locate

five different mineral samples on your own.

[all groaning]

-[Evan] All dirt's the same. -[Roberto] Come on, man!

Come on, there's plenty of time for fun later.

It shouldn't take you more than an hour,

so we'll meet back here in... four hours.

[all cheering]

If you need me, I'll be in the teacher's lounge.

Uh, where's that?

I haven't decided yet.

See you later.

Five mineral samples.

I guess that means a go-getter like you will bring back ten.

Maybe 12. See, the first five is like a cake.

Everything after that is like icing,

and I like icing.

Hmm. I thought you'd put on a little weight.

[imitating elk call]

No, I'm serious. Bigfoot is a brown yeti.

No way! Then what's a Sasquatch?

[imitating elk call]

Huh?

Where can I get me one of those?

The Bigfoot Trading Post on Route 5.

Ask for Mulder.

[ The X-Files theme song playing]

[growling]

[all talking at once]

[grunts]

[men yelling]

[man 1] Come on, I've seen him!

[man 2] He's here! He's here!

[man] His expressions are so human.

I can hardly wait to study him.

[grunts]

[grunting]

He's still standing. Again!

[grunting]

[roars]

[grunting]

[all yelling]

[man panting]

[grunting]

[yelling]

[sighs]

[all talking at once]

[man] Without that fancy contraption of yours,

we never would have been able to hold him.

[man 2] Tell me again how it works, doc.

Well, you see, the bars emit magnetic energy to repel the specimen,

Much like two magnets with opposing polarities.

Oh, well, whatever.

Looks we caught us the real McCoy anyway.

[groaning]

Huh?

It was almost like he understood that.

[laughs] Yeah, right.

No more celebrating for the doc.

And I know just the taxidermist to handle this size of game, too.

That's outrageous!

This is a wonder of nature.

It's our duty to respect it.

What?

It's not like we're making a rug out of it.

A coat maybe, but not a rug. [chuckles]

What was I thinking when I let them join this expedition?

[all] Mr. McCoy! Mr. McCoy!

Hey, Mr. McCoy! Mr. McCoy!

Mr. McCoy! Mr. McCoy!

Mr. McCoy!

Rahne, do you think you can track Mr. McCoy's scent?

Um, I guess so.

I never tried anything like that.

Go for it. We'll keep up.

We better hurry. It's about to rain.

[sniffing]

-Hey. -Ah!

Did you... say that?

Hu-man.

Hu-man.

-Hu-- -I have to admit, this cage is brilliant.

I'm guessing some kind of convex polarity reversal.

Oh! Oh! Good heavens!

You can speak!

Am I right?

Uh! Oh, uh, yes.

Convex polarity rev--

Uh, how do you know of such things?

They'll give anybody a degree these days.

You are not Bigfoot, are you?

Now we're on the same page.

But... then, who--

Hey, I'll even quote Shakespeare if you let me out of here.

Oh, absolutely!

[man] What do you think you're doin'?

It's the most amazing thing!

He can, uh...

Uh, he's able to, um,

to respond to sounds.

Pack him up. We're leavin'.

By now, there are others looking for me.

There are more like you?

Not exactly.

We're all... special in a different way.

But you can see why we need to hide ourselves from the world.

Well, don't worry.

We'll find a way to release you.

I think he's just over this ridge.

[thunder rumbling]

I'm telling you, under these conditions, we need to stay on higher ground.

Relax. I know how to handle this kind of terrain.

Look out!

[grunting]

That was close.

We're not out of the woods yet.

[all grunting]

[grunting]

[gasping]

[Bobby] There he is!

Let's go!

[gasping]

[Kitty] No!

[grunting]

Come on, give me some sun!

Now we're talking!

[grunting]

[coughing]

Are you... all right, Mr. McCoy?

[grunts] Yes.

Thanks to... to you.

But there are people trapped upstream.

Let's go! Go!

[grunting]

[grunting]

Hurry! And take our hands!

[grunting]

[both] Huh?

[man] Let's get him!

No, let him go!

Fast, but not fast enough.

You're going down.

-[barks] -[man grunts]

[growls]

Ah!

[Iceman] Bad idea.

[man gasping]

[Spyke] Yo, here's the word.

Bigfoot's got friends. Get the point?

[man screams]

Looking for something?

[gasping]

[growling, barking]

[men] Ah!

[gasps]

[growling]

What do you want to do with them?

-[growling] -Whoa!

I'm thinking.

If I were you, I'd start running

before he makes up his mind.

[growling, snapping]

[man panting]

[grunts]

[all cheering]

Fascinating group. I'd love to know more.

Someday, you will.

I'm telling you, he talked!

And those kids weren't human!

One of them, he shot spikes from his body!

And one froze the gun in my hands!

Listen, we may be obsessed Bigfooters,

but we ain't stupid.

You saw what happened. Tell 'em!

Hmm. It's all very interesting,

but, uh, it's hardly proof.

[engine revving up]

Boy, Mr. McCoy, without you, that flash flood

could have been a real disaster.

As a wise young girl once told me,

we are who we're meant to be.

So I guess the students aren't the only ones

who learned something on this class trip.
