Well, I'm sure it's going

to come in very handy

when it finally gets here,

but for now,

we're going to go looking

for my kids.

Yeah. Okay.

I don't see any clearing.

Do you?

- We'll find one.

- What's wrong with Chinook?

He's thirsty, just like me.

Well, you're not getting

any of my water,

'cause you wasted all yours.

I know, Chinook. She's mean.

Wait a minute.

Chinook, boy, you thirsty?

You want a drink?

Huh? You want a drink?

- You don't need to tease him.

- I'm not. I saw this dog on TV

that could find water

by scent, by smelling it,

so I thought Chinook could find

the lake by sniffing it out.

- Pretty good.

- Mm-hmm. Go get water.

- Let's follow him.

- Let's follow him.

We're approaching

the south end of the lake.

According to the timetable,

Charlie should have

made it this far.

I don't see anything.

Well, there's no debris.

That could be a good sign.

I'm going to fly over the bush

while we still have some light.

It's going to be really tough

to spot anything down there.

I don't know, Hannah. I don't

think this is going to work.

Maybe...

and I don't want

to lose Chinook.

Well, you better call him.

Why do I have to call him?

'Cause I can barely breathe.

Well, it was your idea.

You shouldn't believe

everything you see on TV.

Well, you thought

it was a good idea.

Well, I was just

being supportive.

Good job, boy!

You did it, Chinook!

You found the lake!

- Whoa!

- You found it.

Good job, boy.

You know what?

Water's a really good drink.

It's so beautiful.

Should be enough for now.

Thanks.

Oh, no. Chinook's running

off again. Come on, let's go.

Get back here, Chinook!

Come on, boy!

Chinook!

Where are you going?

Chinook.

It's a cave.

Did you make sure

there's no bear in there?

He's home,

but he's very friendly.

Come on.

You'll like it.

Okay.

Wow. It's huge.

Need a hand?

Pretty nice, huh?

Yeah. It's a lot bigger

from the inside.

Exactly, we're out of the wind,

and if it rains, we're covered.

But it's cold.

It's all right.

I'll make a fire,

and Chinook

can keep us warm.

Are you sure

there's no bear in here?

I already told you

he's friendly.

I'm just kidding.

There's no bear.

We're ready to head out, sir.

You know I can't force you

to go out there all night.

It's going to be dangerous.

Yeah, well, I had no trouble

finding any volunteers,

and when there's

kids out there,

we're going to search

as long as we have to.

Remember,

I have kids of my own.

Okay, just keep

in touch constantly.

- Yes.

- And don't take any chances.

- We'll be fine.

- All right.

Sergeant McCoy,

you're with me.

This is a good fire, Zach.

Thanks.

Good thing we had those matches
