They then watch as Lynn is killed by Bigfoot and Becky and Simon run away after Delia is killed by Bigfoot.

Walt shows Becky a map of the Wind Cave system and Becky tells him she thinks maybe Bigfoot was awoken from his hibernation so he is in his feeding mode.

Becky figures out that Bigfoot is heading towards Mount Rushmore and tells a soldier to inform Colonel Tifton. She then gets into a helicopter with Helicopter Cop. They fly to Mount Rushmore and start shooting at Bigfoot, but their helicopter is swatted out of the sky. Becky survives and an air strike is ordered. She sees Simon and Harley fighting on the top of Mount Rushmore and tries to have the air strike called off, but the missile strikes the mountain, killing Simon, Harley and Bigfoot.
