We're ever gonna be back to la la

It is... I don't know what time it is.

Yeah, are you ready?

This is Meredith Phillips.

I'm suffering.

I'm a kind of self -help creature.

So when's she coming?

We're going to her.

I'm sure this was the right camera choice.

So aren't you coming?

Now, don't forget to keep the RPMs up.

All right, thank you. What?

Thank you!

I don't want you to go.

You know, if the truth be told, I think it's very unsafe. I don't even know

where Wisconsin is. I'm sorry, but you don't go sticking your nose in other

people's business.

How am I sticking my nose in other people's business? I'm making a movie.

It's not the right way to make a living. It's invasive.

I don't think you should do it. Get a degree in something else. A law degree

a... A dentist.

Exactly. Now you guys remember out there.

Never leave your wingman.

Did you talk to her?

She'll do it. She's the centerpiece of the film.

Give me that.

I'm not sure this was the right camera choice.

Okay, we have the bag cam.

We got a dashboard cam.

What's going on?

We have two button cams.

I have a handheld with night vision.

Can you see me?

And the HD camera you're holding.

We're all good to go.

Dude, check out that guy.

Oh, snap.

That's awesome. See that?

He's, like, spinning around like a... Wow. Yo, we should put him in the movie

or, like, you know... Whoa! Whoa! Whoa!

Whoa! Whoa! Whoa! Whoa! Whoa! Whoa!

Whoa! Whoa! Whoa! Whoa! Whoa! Whoa!

Whoa! Whoa! Whoa! Whoa! Whoa! Whoa!

Whoa! Whoa! Whoa! Whoa! Whoa! Whoa! Whoa! Whoa! Whoa! Whoa! Whoa! Whoa!

Whoa! Whoa! Whoa! Whoa! Whoa! Whoa! Whoa! Whoa! Whoa!

Whoa! Whoa! Whoa! Whoa! Whoa!

Whoa! Whoa! Whoa!

Whoa! Whoa! Whoa! Whoa! Whoa! Whoa! Whoa! Whoa! Whoa! Whoa! Whoa! Whoa!

Whoa! Whoa! Whoa! Whoa! Whoa! Whoa! Whoa! Whoa! Whoa! Whoa! Whoa! Whoa!

Whoa! Whoa!

Whoa! Whoa!

Whoa! Whoa! Whoa! Whoa! Whoa!

Whoa! Whoa! Whoa!

You were just telling me that you were scared. Admit it. You weren't? No.

Yeah, right.

Okay, maybe you weren't. You weren't scared?

We both look beautiful.

What is that?

It's made up all this shit.

Come on. Come on.

Relax. You're catching up to the game in Green Bay.

That's what you said three hours ago.

Pull over. I've got to take a dump.

What can you do, my friend? We're supposed to be there right now. She's

for us. And the holder is shitting your hands.

I'm going to take a shit in your uncle's van if you don't pull over right now.

Dude, we just stopped at the fucking gas station ten minutes ago.

You didn't have to go then. I have to go now.

Dude, we're in the middle of nowhere. What the fuck do you want from me? Did

get a micromanaged whole fucking thing? What the fuck does that even mean, dude?

Are you not going to pull over for me to go to the bathroom? No, I'm not going

to pull over. Please fucking turn on the game. Shut the fuck up.

What's up?

Holy shit, dude. Are you okay?

Oh, my God. Oh, shit.

Oh, God.

Holy fuck.

Jesus Christ. Oh, my God.

Oh, fuck.

You fucking killed it, dude.

You fucking killed this shit.

Oh, my God. What do we do?

Dude, I swear to God, he came out of nowhere. I didn't see him.

Can we call the cops?

Oh, my God. What is that?

Fucking femur, dude.

Get it out. Get it out. Fuck.

Oh, my God.

What do we do? We call the cops?

I don't know, man. Fuck it. Go.

Go.

But it's, yeah, I don't know, it's early morning.

We've been traveling all night, and we're exhausted.

We're going to get the show on the road, and I guess start our little project

with Meredith Phillips.

So, oh, yeah.

Good morning, sunshine. How are you? You're an idiot.

All right, so let me just get this set right there.

And, uh, good?

All right.

There you are.

Yeah.

That's it.

Dude, hurry your ass up. We're taking so long.

Come on, come on, let's go.

Here, take this.

Dude, it's gonna be good. Go in, we'll get our stuff.

Boom, done.

This is Meredith Phillips reporting from Channel 4 News.

Hello.

Meredith

Phillips?

Hi. Adam Baumgart, this is David Stanko. Hi.

We're the ones doing the documentary, Life After Reality.

Okay.

You do remember speaking to me on the phone, right?

When was that?

It's not important. We just, you know, we want to follow you around a little

and check in and see what's going on in your life since your show.

Well, I've been editing this shit all night, so if that's glamorous, let me

know.

I don't understand. You said you were on board the last time we spoke.

So tired of this reality stuff.

It's all anyone ever wants to talk about.

I've already crewed up. I've raised money. I set a schedule. I called you

week. I have work to do.

Listen, Meredith, with all due respect, I am sorry I am tired, but I've been in

a van for 24 hours, and I'm not going anywhere until you give me something.

I'm sorry, but this is not happening.

Yeah. Who are you two?

I'm doing a documentary on Meredith. No, they're not.

Yes, we are.

Will you wait outside, please?

Now what?

I don't know. I'll figure something out.

Remember the Fowler case?

We just got an anonymous tick. Somebody saying that they spotted him.

We need a follow -up, but nobody's available, so... I decided to send you.

Okay.

Who's my crew?

I don't have anybody.

We'll go to her. She'll do it. That's what you said.

Will you just take a deep breath?

Fuck off with that already.

Let me think. Ready?

You guys left the... Oh, shit.

So I want to help.

I thought you guys could follow me on assignment.

Will we get our interview on the road?

Yeah.

So, where's your crew?

What do you think?

So, Meredith, why don't you tell us a little bit about how the show changed

life?

It was an amazing experience.

I'm thankful to the network for giving me the opportunity.

Come up in here.

Come on, Meredith.

Just give us something.

Yeah, it opened some doors for me, but only so far.

Boring!

All I ever get are bullshit lifestyle minutes, like fish fries and casino

openings. It's been tough going back to reality since the show ended.

Food. Come on.

Target.

exactly what he was going to do up in Sedville.

Leadville.

Six weeks ago, two twin girls were found dead in their family's barn.

Nagorski sent a team up there, but they didn't get anything.

No one is willing to talk.

Come on, there's got to be some blabbermouth looking for a little taste

You know, like, uh...

TV reality stars.

So, um, who killed them?

Well, officially it's still unsolved.

Their dad, John Fowler, hasn't been seen since.

Until now.

Until now.

I thought he had some issues.

Oh, that's what everyone seems to think.

What do you think?

I don't know.

Thank you.

Van's going out to sleep. I'm not going in.

Welcome to Leadville.

Not touristy.

Whoa, whoa, whoa.

What is that?

Oh, shit.

Is that a body? Dude, are you getting that? Yeah.

Is he dead?

Holy shit.

You know, I'm telling that guy he's gonna get a kiss.

Great point, Steve.

Ugh.

What's that smell?

Yo, check out the squirrely dude in the back.

He's not even moving.

Hi, can we get some help?

We are checking in.

We're checking in.

Is that a camera?

No, it's a giant cell phone.

David.

Can we just get...

Oh,

my God, this is so cool. I knew... You're the girl from that show.

What was the show?

Yeah, that's right. I am a reporter for Channel 4.

Oh, dear. Oh, wow.

What was the name of that one?

Man, you're handing out the flowers.

She'll give you an autograph if you ask.

Just the cute.

The parking lot is pretty much empty.

Hey David,

you know what they say about people that want to be on TV?

95 % of them have an emotional deficit.

usually the result of a traumatic childhood.

Look at your fucking documentary. Yeah.

Anyway, here's to us.

Here's to those little girls.

Let's do a shot.

It's like Christmas.

It's like what?

It's like, yo, I'm doing karaoke now. Don't get in front of my fucking

microphone. What's that shit?

Hello up there.

Is there anyone up in this town?

This is Meredith Phillips reporting to you live from Shetsnell, Wisconsin.

This just in. I just suckered two idiots from New York into driving me halfway

across the country.

Jesus.

That was brilliant.

You know what's brilliant?

Your fucking documentary.

What is your problem?

Who do you think?

I'm a little...

Fucking nowhere.

Doing a documentary about fucking nothing.

Dude, hold on. Yo.

Take this.

Meredith?

Yeah?

You okay?

Lady locked herself out.

Meredith?

What the hell is he doing?

Do you

want

to crack another plate?

No, I don't.

Time to make the movie.

Look what we have here.

Hmm.

Let's get something to eat. I'm starving.

We're not eating.

Besides, you could skip a breakfast or two.

What do you mean?

David, we're not eating.

I get nervous when I get hungry, okay?

What?

Is that working?

Just make sure you're rolling.

Come on.

Hi. We were here to see Sheriff Tate.

Well, Phillips, you came.

I told you I would.

This is my crew.

Well, I told you on the phone. There's no new information.

Well, we'd like to see the evidence that you do have.

You're wasting your time.

It'll just take a second.

It ain't pretty.

Don't say I didn't warn you.

Shit.

Tell us about the twins.

Please.

That Sarah Mary Fowler got a real deal in life.

Her mom died of childbirth, and her pa, John Fowler...

He was always a religious man.

But when he lost Gretchen, he became more extreme.

And?

He created his own religion of sorts.

Based on punishment and suffering, he became a kind of self -help preacher.

Those two girls were his flock.

He homeschooled them and raised them on his own.

But with his belief.

What was their relationship like?

That's hard to say. A bunch of crayon drawings.

I don't prove much.

Oh, my God.

Those two girls, they were...

The body disappeared from the undertaker the very next night.

And then?

Not much. We put out an APB, combed the woods.

It's been two months.

I need to get to this house.

I need to see the farm. I need to see everything.

That's a crime scene. It's an ongoing investigation.

But what about my report?

You are not going out.

But nobody needs to know.

Miss Phillips, I've already told you more than you need to know.

I need that goddamn address.

I have a job to do.

Now, do you have anything else you want to say to me?

What was that? I don't know.

So what now?

We'll go to Fowler's. What?

You heard the sheriff.

Okay.

Hello.

David, maybe you can help us on the pitching.

Do you want me to film it or do you want me to help you?

I don't know, smartass.

What are you looking for? I can help you.

Come on. Flip it.

I found it.

Was that so hard?

Yeah. Now let's go.

What's going on?

Snake, let's check this out.

Here,

check this out.

Brother -in -law John Fowler?

That means that the twins were the sheriff's nieces.

Jesus.

Let's go.

Kinda lonely out here.

Yeah, no one to hear us scream.

Are you sure that we didn't pass it? Yeah.

There it is.

Where? Right there.

That's it, boys.

Oh, locked.

Too bad. Let's go.

What is she doing?

It's not good.

Yeah, no shit.

What are you doing?

Are you kidding me? Come on, man.

Got it?

Guys, there's no trespassing.

Shut up.

Back up.

Shouldn't be doing this.

I mean, this has got to be...

What was that?

Probably deer. They're all over up here.

Let's get a shot of the front of the house first.

I'm gonna look at the barn. Okay.

Come on, David.

Okay. This is Meredith Phillips of Channel 4 with an exclusive follow -up

Fowler Girls... Hold on.

Okay.

We're rolling.

Okay.

This is Meredith Phillips with Channel 4 News with an exclusive story on the

Fowler murder investigations.

Adam?

No one.

Do something!

What'd I tell you?

Get over there.

Get over there!

Who did this?

Postman.

I warned you.

I wouldn't touch that.

Fuck it.

Are you

okay?

I'm here.

I want to know what happened to the Fowler girls.

Power girls.

Ain't no surprise.

Young folk just seem to have bad luck around here.

You don't believe me?

Just look around.

There ain't that many.

Not at the school, not at the park.

leaves this town as fast as I can go.

Why don't you guys make sure we don't see each other again?

Next time, it'll be a lot longer than one night.

He took it.

You gotta be kidding.

Hey, guys.

So I take it that's a picture wrap on our little documentary?

Let's talk about it after I shower.

No, we're going to talk about it now.

Hey, Adam?

What?

Wisconsin brunch?

We need to get on the road now.

I'll find us another motel. We've got plenty of footage. We don't have to be

here anymore. I'm scared too.

I may be scared, but I'm stupid.

Meredith, you got your footage? We don't have shit for footage. You just want to

bail now?

No, we just came here to make a documentary.

Yeah, we did.

And this is it.

Yeah. What can you tell us?

Well, Fowler used to hire me to do odd jobs up in this place.

And? And I can get you into his house if you want to.

What for?

Some things there you might want to see.

Stuff only I know about.

Why would you help us?

This ain't right what you've done to them kids.

Heard it?

I had him.

We're broke.

You coming?

No chance of not losing my camera.

I'm getting in the truck.

I'm the cameraman. We're a team.

I know that we're a team, but come on, let's just finish it, all right? I'll go

to the house, I'll get the footage, and then we'll be done. We can go home. No

way.

Hope you two get what you deserve.

David. See you in New York. David. Go fuck yourself. David.

Mom, hop up.

There's plenty of room.

Y 'all never liked me enough at the power place after dark.

I only slept up there once.

Looked up at the town of Greenstone, Cornfield.

Crazy world.

What

is this?

Cousin.

We never talked about going in.

Want a beer?

Okay, yeah.

Well, maybe still a couple.

So tell me about the Fowler case.

Shane used to work up there.

He was one weird dude.

He was a real fucker. He used to whip them when he thought they were losing

faith. Seems they lost it pretty regular.

He used to beat the girls?

Yeah. I think it was part of their belief.

Worst part was, they really bought into it.

And those little girls turned out just as screwy as him.

Hey! No, no, no, not I!

Just put him there.

That's a keeper. Please put him there.

What were you doing up here yesterday?

What do you mean?

I passed you right here on the side of the road.

I've been up here for months.

You gotta get out. Go.

That looked really scary.

We saw a horse get its leg broken.

Hey.

These are edible.

Or... Come here.

You coming?

Yep.

I found Gretchen's nightdress.

This is where the girls have their lessons here.

And, uh... It'll almost be

like just repeating stuff and, uh...

Freaking Fowler would be up here making them like just repeat and repeat and

repeat all day. Yeah.

If they made a mistake, he'd frickin' tie him to those chairs.

Yeah. He'd tie up his girls.

They'd do it every day of all days, all they did.

Oh, man.

Yeah.

And then this is the girls. That's them right there.

That's them.

You know, if you ask me, I'd say John Fowler's the devil.

You know?

He's the one who's the devil, if you ask me. I'd say he was.

Now you got your story.

Yeah, don't say we never did anything for you.

Now can we look around the barn?

I told you, there ain't shit in there.

Well, can we at least film the rest of the house?

Alright, fuck it, but make it quick.

Or more dead deer, at least.

Adam. What is it?

What is that?

It looks like a fox.

Meredith, are you okay?

Take these.

Hey, hey, look, look at me, Sam.

I'm a TV star.

Look, Danny, look.

Yeah, get in there.

Yeah. Hey, Keith, man.

Oh, yeah. Look at this.

Look at this little fucking thing.

Huh? Oh, you like him, don't you, James? Huh?

You're some kind of little fucking faggot, aren't you?

Huh? Hey, man. Hey, hey, go get it, man.

You want to go get it?

Get that thing, James.

Yeah, I knew it. It'll work.

When you won that show, I knew it wasn't going to work out with that guy. I knew

it. Didn't I say? Didn't I tell you?

What do we got here?

What do we got here?

Huh?

It's a milk.

Milking.

You like it, don't you?

What are you going to do with that, man?

Huh?

This man has a confession to make. You're going to film it.

What did you say? I wouldn't come back?

Judgement day is nigh.

The truth must be known. That's why I contacted you.

This is torture.

You violated and ravaged my daughters. You did unspeakable things. You

unnatural acts.

Confess to God!

We didn't do it.

It's unholy what you did.

You got the wrong guy.

The truth!

Now!

It was Clem's idea.

The

girls were

always preaching and yelling at us that we was beneath them and...

Just like you found them.

We just figured we'd... We got

drunk. We got drunk and

stuff happened, but... We didn't kill them.

We didn't kill them.

I swear to God.

I swear to God.

You can't punish me for something I didn't do!

Why would you?

Blood is on their hands. What they've done was the same thing as killing my

little girls.

How did they die, Fowler?

Deliver that tape.

I love my daughters.

Thank you.

Fuck you up anyway.

to come out here.

Your producer must be shitting herself.

Love it.

Excuse me.

I'm sorry to bother you.

My wife and I have a little bet.

She thinks you were on some reality show and I think no you weren't so I'm

asking just to settle it.

Were you?

I was.

Alright, I got this one.

Who is that?

There's someone else.

A Polaroid.

No, I'm sure.

Highway 94.

No, no, no, we'll come to you.

Hello?

Thanks, Darren.

I'm really grateful to Unity Network for giving me the opportunity.

Thank you for watching.

Rawr!
