Hunter's Creed (2020) Movie Script

So, can I ask?

Why?

Why do you believe

this has happened?

Again, speculating?

God becomes God

when you need him

- and they need God right now.

- Help!

No!

Fast in those heels

That's right.

Oh, David, look!

Oh, I'd like

to get in the range

of her 12 point daddy I seen

wander around here a month ago.

- Are you kidding me?

- What?

You see

something that beautiful

and the first thing you

think about is hunting him?

- Yeah.

- Uh-uh, come here.

Oh, don't do,.

Go on, look at her.

Doesn't she look beautiful?

She looks delicious.

You are awful.

I'll never hunt again.

- You promise?

- No.

Gimme this.

I'm not sure how anyone

can deny there's a God

if nature is this beautiful.

You know, I kinda like

you, Mrs. David Bryant.

Hm, well I kinda like you too,

- Oh?

- Mr. Kate Bryant.

No!

What are you doing in here?

I told you to wait

in the bedroom!

- Ooh, what's that?

- No, nothing.

None of your business.

- Honey,

- Goodbye please.

I got you this little

thing and I couldn't wait.

You want me to open that now?

It is Christmas, eve.

- Oh my gosh!

- Put it on,

I want to see.

I had it made at Crystal's.

It is beautiful.

- Let me see.

- Aww.

Okay,

now it's my turn.

Absolutely not, you

get outta here right now!

Oh, if that's not a

new bow, Christmas is ruined!

Oh ho, you'll just

have to see, huh?

- Y'all set?

- I am ready.

Ooh, let's do it!

Hey there Hunters and Huntettes

and welcome back to another

special behind-the-scenes look

at our upcoming hunting

show, "Buck Fever Addicts."

Now, as most of y'all know,

we're still trying to figure out

what we want this show to be

but because my

mama goes to church

with our extra special

surprise guest ,

we have the incredible blessing

to be able to sit

down with somebody

who knows a thing or

two about reality TV

and working with family

and praying on camera.

So, without further ado,

I am so happy to introduce

the one, the only,

- Dog the Bounty Hunter.

Please tell

these nice people

what we're doing here today.

Well, we are here to

ambush your husband,

I mean, surprise your husband.

How many times has he

watched every show?

- Like seven times.

- So, he must be one

of my biggest fans and

seven is God's lucky number.

So, let's hide

- and ambush Mr. Husband.

- Yes!

All right,

come on!

- Too fast.

- No, you better not peek

or I'll ninja chop

you in the neck.

- Oh.

- Okay, come here.

Stay right there, stop.

All right, now you just

gotta answer one question.

What?

What is your favorite TV show?

What?

- Dog the Bounty Hunter?

- Yeah.

- Hey, hey, hey.

- Yeah brother,

- hey, hey.

- Hey.

How are you?

I'm good, I'm great,

I'm great, I'm great.

- Why is he here?

- Surprise!

So, your wife told

me that you're trying

- to write your own TV show.

- Yes, yes.

So, I came all this way

to give you a couple hints.

Shake my hand, relax son.

- You all right?

- Yeah, I'm fine.

I'm fine.

- You got any coffee?

- Yes, we have coffee,

- do we have coffee?

- We have coffee.

So brother, do you guys

have a sizzle reel done yet?

No, Kate is actually

in charge of all that.

Oh Kate,

you gonna show him

how to shoot also?

Oh no sir.

The only shooting I do is

from behind this camera.

Yeah, she would shoot me

before she shot any deers.

- No.

- So, you get

your sizzle reel ready,

you sit down with the

executives from networks

at a big long table,

they look at it and

then they're gonna say,

"Do you guys have a pilot yet?"

Or, "let's shoot a pilot."

And you're gonna say,

"we've already got one."

I love your idea of truth

and your concept of the

number one hunting show,

God and family.

That's perfect, you've

got a great combination.

Do you have any children?

- No,

- Well,

are our parents gonna see this?

We can just cut it

out or not show 'em.

Okay,

well, we just started trying.

So, we just haven't

told anybody yet.

- Yeah.

- Oh well, good luck.

- Thank you.

- Thank you, yeah.

You're the first to know.

So, when you're done

brother, with your pilot,

share it with me

because I've got some

friends in high places

and I feel like I love ya and

I feel like I owe it to you.

So, you know,

- hey, every dog has his day,

- All right.

Tomorrow's mine

- and yours.

- All right!

- Oh my goodness!

- Yeah, let's do this.

Oh my God, thank you.

Every dog has his day and

today we're making a pilot.

- We are making a pilot!

- Yeah, a pilot.

Oh no!

Do not film me right

now, I look terrible.

Oh, you look beautiful

- no matter what.

- Oh no.

I have a secret to tell you.

Your mom looks

gorgeous with makeup.

- No.

- Mm-hmm.

But, but, but, but,

without makeup,

your mom looks gorgeous,

absolutely gorgeous.

If we get

our little baby girl,

what do you think

she's gonna look like?

Hey baby girl, what're

you gonna look like?

Please ma'am,

I'm trying to have

a conversation.

- Oh, pardon me.

- Go on.

Mm-hmm, well, she says

that she's gonna be just

as beautiful as her mama,

eyes, same hair

and she says she's gonna

love all little baby animals

more than her mama.

- That's a tall order.

- I know.

What if

it's a little boy?

No, that's daddy's baby

girl, no doubt about it.

Unfortunately, I have

some difficult news.

Dave is on his way up here

and I found this bad boy

in the lobby downstairs.

So, I just had to have it.

And,

what good is a squirt

gun if you can't use it?

So today, Mr. Hunter

becomes the hunted.

Ooh, look out son!

Stop, stop!

- Oh,

- Got in my eye.

- Sorry.

- It's fine.

Hey.

Hey babe, come on,

come pray with me.

Dear God, thank you

for your love and faithfulness,

thank you for giving us

the ability to love others.

Thank you for my husband

and for all of our amazing

time that we have.

Hey, hey baby,.

Is there a nurse?

Can I get a nurse?

Hey guys, I just

heard the news

and I'm very sorry.

As you both know, I

just went through this.

So, I think that

my recommendations

and my advice this

time could be real.

Dave, please love

her all the time,

keep her close to you,

please do the show.

That helped my Bethie so

much to be able to work

and to laugh and to play.

I heard that you said

you had the symptoms

of this disease,

that's a start.

You know the bible

says that life

and death are in the

power of the tongue,

that the most unruly member

of the body is the tongue.

So please, watch

what you both say.

Dave, love her,

kiss her, hug her,

whatever she wants get her.

Kate, I love you very much,

you have a great husband

and I hope you still plan on

another member of the family.

So, from me to you

both, I love you,

I feel especially connected

to both of you again now.

You need anything

at all, let me know.

I hope to see you both very

soon and as I say, aloha.

I'm not sure when

you're gonna see this.

But I just wanted

to let you know,

I love you so much.

God gave me a miracle

when I met you.

And I'm so sorry, so sorry.

Oh,.

I was scared, David.

More scared than

I have ever been.

And I know you're scared too.

But he's gonna take

care of everything.

He's my light,

even in the darkest

times.

Oh, I am gonna miss you.

But I will see you

again soon,.

Come on, Dave!

Let's go!

Whoo.

- There he is folks.

- Back up, back up.

It's darn

good to see you man.

Hey Russell.

Oh, look at that.

Got the old trusty elite, huh?

Yeah, well wait 'til

you see what I got, man.

- It's a secret weapon!

- Why you filming already?

Hey brother,

we've been talking

about doing this show

for 20 years, man.

We are gonna show those

other hunting shows

how it's really done.

All right, all right.

Hey!

Sorry man,

I couldn't resist.

It's good

to see you, Sean.

Good to see me, he says.

Dude disappears for two years

and then makes it harder

than rocks to find him

to do the hunting show that was

his idea in the first place?

It's good to see me?

- Good to see you, brother.

- All right,

- let's get it on, yeah,

- Here, come here,

- give me the camera.

- Yeah, take it, take it.

- How's the camp?

- Ah yeah man,

super great, everyone from

worship team says hello.

Hey, we finally got

the cabins built.

That took four years.

Yeah,

well, you know Barbara.

Whoo!

- Where's Paul?

- He's on patrol up north

but he's gonna meet us up there.

Let's get 'er done!

We're doing a hunting show,

yee haw!

what's the state record

right now for catfish?

- 127.

- What?

That

sounds more like it.

127 no way man,

fish used to be

bigger back when,

- Back when what?

- Back in biblical times.

Your brain

used to be bigger.

You would film me,

you hairy perverts.

I swear man,

not even cool.

You move that truck,

All right, that's it, stop!

Please, I'm begging you, man.

Oh man, look at that.

Over there, right across,

straight over there.

Look at that.

They're as bald as you

are, Sean.

Kinda

makes you appreciate

what we're doing out

here, doesn't it fellas?

Wow,

look at that thing go man.

Look at that!

Aw man, I bet he gets a catfish.

I bet he gets a good old dinner.

All right, well welcome

to "Buck Fever Addicts."

I wanted to name the show

"Russell's Muscles and Bucks"

but the team done shot that

down right away.

Now, our show follows four

bowmen, myself included,

on the hunt for some

good old white tail.

Now, this episode,

we are in the Midwest

on an amazing property,

hasn't been hunted in years.

Welcome to the

beginning of our story.

Now, let's get hunting.

All right, now let me

take another one, yeah?

No, that was

good, that was great.

You have to talk

about the entire history

- of the property, man.

- What?

No man, I don't

want any of that any

of that demonic

crap in the show.

What are you

guys talking about?

When Paul and I

first scouted the place,

we talked to the property owner

and she said that

it used to be run

by this religious cult, right?

And they used to do like

sacrifices and rituals,

like full on Satan

worshiping, you know?

- That kind of thing.

- Naw, that's bull crap.

No, it's true man,

ask Paul when we get up there.

Okay and then God came down,

got rid of them for

their evil deeds

and then blessed the property

so that nobody could ever do

evil there again, the end.

Can't have heaven

without hell, brother.

Both got to exist.

Or neither.

You all

good back there, Sean?

Just drive slow.

How's it look on camera?

- Secluded.

- You'd best not scratch

my roof with that camera.

What is that?

You're messing with us.

No man, I'm

not sure what that is.

So, just pull off

to the left here.

All right, listen, we set

up all four deer stands

on different points of the

property, this place is huge.

We're not even gonna be in

shouting distance of each other.

Great, I've

heard this guy talk enough.

Few hours of my life I ain't

getting back listening to you.

Wow.

Hello.

Anybody home?

Coming in.

Whoo!

Hey Sean, where's

the light switch at?

Right

inside, on the right.

Let there be light, woo hoo!

Okay folks, this here

is a hunting cabin

if there ever was one!

We got raccoons sticking

out of the wall,

we got racks, we got bedtime

stories over the fireplace.

We got a foxy lady

over here,

it's a bear.

This must be the kitchen.

Okay, this can work.

I'm Chef Russ the Bus and

this is my prep chef, Stinky.

Stinky and I are gonna bring you

some of the mighty fine southern

cooking that I grew up with

but we're gonna keep

in skunk-spense!

This here is Bucky the Buck,

that's his best friend over

there, Trouty the Trout

and this here is Pine Lake

Resort's finest water,

watch out for the lead content.

It's upwards of 15%.

- And what is this?

- Television.

That's a TV.

Oh, and here on our hunting

trips, time just seems to fly.

Hey!

- Get the door.

- Okay,

I nearly soiled

myself, gimme a second,

you coulda knocked.

That was my

knock, turkey lips.

Chicken giblet.

Ladies and gentlemen,

our God of Fire for the week.

Don't play around.

Hey, Russell, get

the lights for me.

- No!

- Russell, get the lights

- for me, please.

- Okay,

but if you give me nightmares,

I'm gonna sic my mother on you.

And behold, the angel

of the Lord appeared

to them in the blazing

fire of a bush.

Mom, Sean is gonna

give me nightmares,

would you please

tell him to shut up?

All right, that's it.

One more thing and we're done.

He's gonna

get me, he's gonna get me!

Cabin

B roll, take one.

Let's try that again.

Can I help you?

Are you lost?

We rented the

cabin for the week,

my friends and I were

just on a hunting trip.

Hey, hey, hey, hey,

Hey, Shooter.

You scared

the crap outta me!

Oh man, it's good to

see you again, brother.

Oh, it's

good to see you too.

How's the wife?

She's good, she was asking

about you again on Sunday.

I've been at, work's

been so crazy, I'm sorry.

- It's, we lost a guy,

- Hey, don't worry about it.

Look, are you ready

to have a great week?

- Yeah.

- Good.

- All right.

- Come on man,

let's get inside.

What are you

gonna do with that flare?

That works.

All right so,

there he is, buck naked,

running down the street

with his hands in front

of his unmentionables,

I pull up behind him.

It's raining out,

he's soaking wet

and I shine the

spotlight on him.

All right, he turns around

- and I'm like, "Billy Swanson?"

- No.

- Pastor Swanson's son?

- No way!

- On a stupid dare,

his wrestling buddies

put him up to it.

Course, the poor kid

didn't realize that his

confirmation leader was going

to be the one to catch him.

But you shoulda seen the

look of terror in his eyes

when he turned

around and saw me.

- Darn pastor kids, man.

- Yeah, yeah,

all right, so I figure, this

boy needs a lesson, right?

Oh no, come on!

Poor kid, man.

You remember those Paul lessons?

- I remember the Paul lessons.

- Yep.

Well, you

know, kids these days,

sometimes they need a push

in the right direction.

Some adults do too

for that matter.

- Yep.

- So, what'd you do to him?

For him, my friend, for him.

Take him back to the farm,

I pull him out of the car

and I handcuff him to

the children's play set.

Oh, man.

And look, you better

not show this footage

to anyone, all right?

You did not

handcuff him to the play set.

So, it's like 50

degrees outside, all right?

So what do I do?

I pull out the garden hose.

You can't hose down naked

boys in your backyard.

- The kid started crying!

- Are you crazy?

I told him, "hey, you

pray on this all night long.

"And just maybe you'll catch

the Lord's forgiveness."

- Well, did he?

- Miracle.

I let him go early that morning,

the boy's flown straight

as an arrow ever since.

Pauly boy, we, you, me, walk

different paths sometimes.

I opt for the Coke

and conversation.

- Hey.

- You,

It worked didn't it?

Sometimes people need a push.

Well, gentlemen,

I do believe it's time

to officially separate

ourselves from the world.

- No, no!

- Yes, yes it is.

- Get 'em out.

- Just kidding.

Disconnection.

All right, Seany.

Farewell poop emoji,

smell ya later.

You ready to spend

some time out in

these beautiful woods?

Ready to

make some magic happen.

Well, gentlemen, that

is why we are here.

- Amen to that, brother.

- Cheers.

Amen.

Here we go, cut the light.

All right, now, as is

tradition for us here

at "Buck Fever Addicts,"

the first to sleep

on the first night is the first

prey of the trip.

Old Davey boy here forgot

that , shh.

Oh!

Here we go.

Shh.

Hey!

Y'all want to be grounded?

Sorry Paulie boy.

- Y'all ready?

- Just getting older.

Yeah, I'm coming.

Here comes the bow,

pretty in camo,

here comes the bow,

he will kill a bow,

ho, ho, ho, ho.

Merry Christmas

fellas,.

Now, let me tell you something,

I want to introduce

you to someone.

I want you to be kind

and supportive, okay?

Now, this here quiver,

is the brand new,

Hoyt Defiant Turbo.

33 inches, axle-to-axle,

six inch brace height,

350 FPF, 75% let-off.

4.2 ounces of utter,

lethal, instant buck death.

You can kiss her,

- if you want.

- No.

The girl

that was under the desk

with her said the shooter

said "peek-a-boo."

Nothing to do with any questions

or her praying or anything.

No, the newspaper said

that the guy came up and

asked her the question.

Why else would the

mother write a book

called "She Said Yes,"

if that didn't happen?

Guys,

wait up, I got a shot.

But there was another

girl that was in the library

and they were

saying the witnesses

could have mixed

up their stories,

- which happens all the time.

- It's a load of crap

and you know it, man.

The girl was face-to-face

with her own death

and she chose to pray.

- That's all I'm saying.

- You're saying it

like the prayers did

anything when they didn't,

her prayers did nothing for her.

Look at this.

Old Paul's got

the senses of a hound dog.

What you

got there, brother?

We got two bucks

about 300 yards down.

Look at

the size of these guys.

Now, the rut happens the first

couple weeks in November.

And what they're doing

is either fighting

over some territory

or over a doe.

Oh, he got 99 problems

but a doe ain't one.

Oh!

- Straight in the neck.

- Nice shot.

Oh yeah,

good one there mate.

Let's take a look over here.

Oh, look at this!

Wow, what do we got

over here, sonny boy?

What is the worst part

about going hunting?

Taking a crap

in the woods, huh?

Hanging and

skinning the deer.

Thank you, I didn't

like any of the hoists

that I saw online,

so I went ahead and knocked

up something myself.

This way we don't have

to go breaking our backs.

♪ He came in like

a wrecking ball! ♪

All right Davey boy,

- it's your shot, brother.

- All right.

Look at him,

setting up for

the big shot here.

Silence.

Oh hang on now, shooter,

that's recurve bow range.

Why don't you show

us what you got?

All right, it's been a while.

Time cannot erase

what you know.

You know, I think

old Davey boy here

just needs to a do a

little soul searching,

remind himself how

good he really is.

Maybe I'm just

out of practice.

No, I don't believe

that for a minute.

Come on, now.

Practice

makes perfect.

Dave weren't you

supposed to put your weight

on your other foot?

Has it been that long?

Steve, Perry.

- Nice shot.

- Right in the center!

Yeah, that's pretty good

but the Dave I used to know,

well, he could hit a quarter

across the old

campground archery range.

Aw.

Man, that

was the craziest thing

I ever seen in my life,

how 'bout it Seany boy?

I bet you one American dollar,

you see that fan

right down yonder?

- Yeah.

- One American dollar

says you can't hit it from here.

That's 90

yards, that's not gonna be,

One American

dollar says you can!

Did we or did we

not call you Shooter?

You are holding

the bow backwards, man.

You gotta turn it around, Dave,

you're gonna hurt yourself.

Turn it around.

- Chucked it, come on, man!

- I knew it.

I'm gonna

have to sell my boat,

we keep betting on you.

Double or nothing,

try it again.

Gambling commission

gonna come down on us.

Strong shooter,

I know you're in

there somewhere,

let's see it.

Shooter, shooter, shooter!

All right, we're ready

to go hunting now, folks!

We'll see you bright

and early.

All right, look,

we used to wear something

like this in the service,

you'll get used to it.

- All right.

- Good morning.

- Morning.

- So Shooter,

why don't you tell the kids

at home what you're

suiting up with.

Well, as you can see,

I don't go out to my

spot in my full camo,

if you sweat a lot

like I do, and I do,

I don't 'cause white tails

can smell human perspiration

from about a mile away.

So, I keep cool

until I get there.

All right, over here,

I have my trusty bow,

we've been through

a lot together.

Right here is a

scent killer spray,

it eliminates odor

throughout the day.

Don't go hunting

without it folks.

These are my snacks in my pack.

This is a hunting

blade, in the pack.

This is a range finder,

it's used to gauge the

distance between your stand

and the trees that

are around you

so that you can know how

far the deer are from you.

The woods can mess with your

distance and depth perception.

So, that's what it's for.

- That's it for me.

- Very nice.

What about you, old man?

Oh, well I guess in the end,

the only piece of equipment

that really matters,

this thing of beauty right here.

All right, so,

just record what you can.

Try and get some footage on

your way out of the site.

Just a few minutes

here and there.

Save the bulk of it

when you actually get

to the stand or the blind.

Do your best to get some

good footage, all right?

Like, we want to give our

audience the best appeal we can.

All right, so we

got four blinds set up

on this lovely property.

We have North, East,

South and West.

What we're gonna do

is we're gonna trade off

after each hunt

and get some bragging rights

for who can hunt where the best,

all right?

Nothing like a

little competition.

- How 'bout a little wager?

- One American dollar?

- One American dollar.

All right, Shauny, you are

starting on the North line,

- Cool.

- Russell, we are sending you

down the South side.

I am taking the East blind

which leaves Dave with the

wicked witch of the west.

By the way, Dave,

you get any footage

of those satanic

cultists out there?

Try and make it a nice

clean shot, all right?

And, by the way,

God please rebuke Sean

for being an idiot

and save us from evil, amen.

- Amen.

- All right.

- Let's do it.

- Let's get those bucks.

- Oh, by the way, Dave,

ain't nothing in them woods

you can't kill with that bow.

It is a whole new ball game

trying to find your stand

when you can barely

see anything.

Even in the daylight, the

woods can be confusing.

A good practice is to mark

your stands, reflector tape.

Mark your route if you can.

If not, use landmarks.

It's all about landmarks, folks.

We should be close.

Very funny, guys.

Got my candy.

Candy is a must for me.

I unwrap ahead of time,

put it in a napkin

or a cloth, no sound.

The other guys like to eat

last year's jerky as good luck.

Way I see it,

some deer smelling its own

dead isn't too inviting.

So, candy is dandy.

It is beautiful.

That's the best part about

hunting, if you ask me.

It's the quiet.

Oh man, look at that.

Oh, they're beautiful.

We've got one, two, three, four.

Not a bad day one.

No bucks yet.

No hunting ground is alike,

between weather, terrain,

other hunters in the area.

All this affects

the hunting ground.

It can change how things happen.

- Oh, hey, you okay brother?

- Yeah, I'm fine.

Hey man,

brother seriously.

Out here in the

woods this morning,

I didn't have any TP.

Is that poop?

Hey, yo!

Could hear you boys a mile away.

No, not me.

Must be Daffy Duck over here.

I made him wet his britches.

That true, Dave?

Yes.

What do you

got there, wise Gandalf?

I got us some snacks.

As you saw, they're

easy to clean

and their hides can be used

for any number of things.

I mean, my kids like it

when I bring 'em back

some fresh rabbit feet

for them for good luck.

One rabbit is a

good meal for one,

it's a light meal for two.

So, this is a pretty good

haul for a few of us.

Russell's gonna cook

'em up real good.

Hey there, welcome

to Buck Fever Feasts.

Now, as always, I will

be your chef today,

Chef Russ the Bus.

These are the lucky

rascals that get

to enjoy what I

got cooking today.

Now, you've got your

grill of goodness,

you got your seasoning,

I like to use lots

of salt and Tabasco

to spice things up for

these boys a little bit.

Now, on the menu today

is Russell's famous eggs

with my secret ingredient.

- Eggs.

- Yeah, well,

anyways you got your eggs.

You got your Russell's

Testament Toast,

you got your Russell's

Heavenly Hashbrowns,

you got your Russell's

Let He Who Has Not Sinned

Cast the First Stone Bacon,

you got your Russell's

sin free sausage.

You got your Russell's Holy Ham.

You got your Grammy's

Special, Glorified Grits, mm.

You are literally

the only person

eating those grits today, man.

Yeah well, y'all

are missing out.

Judas juice, Mary's milk.

Well, that's about 500

million bajillion calories

of hunting feast right there.

Come on, join us.

- That looks good though.

- Yeah, looks great.

Like everyone have a

good hunt this morning

- or set, I should say.

- Not a set,

didn't even see a squirrel.

- Oh yeah.

- Did you guys hear

anything weird out there though?

- Like what?

- Oh right, that looks good.

Like a loud screeching

sound, some kind of animal.

Like a bobcat?

- This was not a cat.

- I didn't hear anything.

- You sure?

- Well,

if you're interested,

I happen to know of someone,

- personally,

- Good job.

That can take your fear away

from you for the

rest of your life.

It's just, I'm surprised

your wrist doesn't hurt more

with all the bible

thumping you do.

- Here you go.

- Truth is truth, man.

- Okay.

- Truth be told,

I'm not at all surprised

that you're hearing weird

sounds in the woods.

It just kinda comes

with the territory,

- you know what I mean?

- Hey man,

can you pass that stuff

over before we start eating?

- What territory?

- Thank you very much, man.

Well, I'm just

saying,.

You hang around in the

darkness long enough,

you're bound to make

some dark friends.

Well thank you, for telling

me that I'm going to hell.

You know, if you want

to share you religious

beliefs with someone,

- maybe try a better tactic.

- Can you pass me the ham

- as well, man?

- All right,

Thank you very

much, thank you.

You ever want

to see Kate again?

Whoa, whoa, whoa.

Hey, hey, hey, hey,

settle down, take a chill pill!

How you holding up, man?

I'm fine.

You still

seeing that therapist

- from a little while ago?

- No, work's been busy.

How 'bout

that medication?

Is that still giving

you some issues?

I'm not

worrying about it anymore.

I just

remember you telling me

that was making you tired

all the time, right?

Yeah, I stopped taking

it, so, it's not a problem.

Oh well, I think

that's for the best.

You know, I'll be

honest with you, man.

The fact that this

place used to be owned

by some sort of religious cult

kinda freaks me out a little.

Wait, Sean

was serious about that?

'Bout what?

I thought he was

just being an idiot

- with the whole cult thing.

- No, man.

I was with him when

he was talking to her.

She was talking about some

kind of weird voodoo stuff

but I don't know, man.

She seemed a little bit

weird to me herself.

Last summer I found a kid

at the bottom of the

pool of the campground.

The kids were always

daring each other

to sneak into the pool at night.

So, we'd make sure to

check it a couple of times.

And in the past when

we busted these kids,

we found 'em hiding in the

showers waiting for us to leave.

So, I , walk through

the showers, no one's there.

So, I head to the pool

and make sure no one's

hiding in the water.

And I didn't see

anything at first

but, we got those black

lane lines painted

at the bottom of the pool

and something about

the paint looked funny.

Like funny peculiar

and so, I shined

my flashlight at it

and I realized it's

one of the kids.

One of the little kids

and he ain't moving.

So, I jump in, fully clothed,

get him to the shallow end,

drag him out of the pool,

carry him up the steps,

get the CPR going.

I'm screaming, you know,

for help, top of my lungs.

I started to get mad.

I was like, "seriously?

"Like, seriously, is this

seriously about to happen?

"Is this kid gonna

die at youth camp?"

I was so mad

and I realized that this

kid isn't coming back

and our camp medic,

James, rushes up,

takes over for me

on the compressions

and I was so mad, man.

I just, I just let out

this scream of anger.

I swear to goodness, man,

right when I screamed,

the kid spit up like

a gallon of water,

- started breathing.

- Man.

- Yeah.

- Did y'all have to take him

to the hospital,

- all that stuff?

- Yeah.

The ambulance showed up

like 15 minutes later.

And the

official lesson?

Right,

always with the lessons.

Well, the lesson I took away

from this was that God's

timing is not your timing.

That it doesn't

always happen the way

that it's, that you want it to

but it always happens

the way it's supposed to.

I'm getting cold, guys.

That was

perfect, Russell.

- Dave, it's your turn.

- No, I'm gonna go to bed.

No man, we all

have to tell a story,

it's gonna make the

whole segment work.

That's the whole point of this.

- No, sorry.

- At least stay

and have another beer, man.

It's like trying

to sleep with a strobe light.

If I get eaten by a

bear, I have it on film.

What?

And that, ladies and gentlemen,

is how you start a forest fire.

Oh, what?

- Just please, move.

- What are you doing?

Something,

Hey man, what are you

doing, what are you doing?

Hey, there's a

bathroom in the cabin,

you don't need to go

out there to go pee,

all right, man?

You don't need to it

on B roll for the show.

What are you doing?

I'm even more concerned

with what you're doing

with that mallet bar you found.

- Are you okay, brother?

- The light was,

then there's,

something in the fire.

- Hey.

- What?

- Sure you're okay, man?

- Yeah.

I'm fine, I'm fine.

You know, Sean, Sean

don't mean no harm.

You know that.

He's just trying to help.

Yeah well.

Hey, I can't imagine

what you've been through.

I can't imagine going

through that myself.

There ain't nothing

I, me, or Sean or Paul

or anybody's gonna say that's

going to make it better.

Hold that for safety.

Good night, Russell.

Good night, brother.

Sleep tight, Dave.

Hey, well look

who's decided to stop spooning!

Yeah, yeah.

What's Dave doing?

Dave's just

ready to grip it and rip it.

All right, time to

switch up the stands.

You guys mind if I take

the same one as yesterday?

Yeah, I do mind, man.

The wind is perfect

for the West blind,

I set that up last week.

You're on the South blind today.

Oh, there he is.

I can't make out how many points

on this beauty

but nice white chest.

It's big, it's big.

He's coming this way.

What?

Kate, how?

- Come on now.

- Oh,.

Come on, we're almost there.

Have you done

this before or not?

I can't do it.

- I can't do it.

- Come on, come on.

We got like 20 feet, come on.

Hey man, why

don't you pull her?

I'll stay here and

you drag me too, yeah?

- No, sorry.

- That's not how this works,

- let's go.

- I shot her, you drag her,

- come on, man.

- Been like this

- the whole way back.

- Hold on, all right.

Sooner we

go, sooner we leave,

- let's go.

- All right, all right,

- all right.

- Let's do it, come on.

- Come on, almost there.

- Yeah, yeah!

You guys see this here buck?

This here is the

definition of not fun.

Well, we have officially

wrapped day two of hunting

and our first kill

winner trophy goes

to our famous

clown-dash-cook, Russell.

Eat it!

- Unbelievable.

- Now, when you're out

on a hunt, the real

important thing,

when you get that first kill

and you bring it

back to the cabin,

you want to be,

What was that?

Dave?

- What is that?

- Dave?

Hey Dave,

whoa, hey, hey, hey,

hey, hey, it's

gonna be okay, man.

It's gonna be okay.

"Ghost Fever Addicts,"

episode one, action.

- All right, come on, come on.

- Hey fellas.

Yeah, did you find the

alcohol swabs in there, Russ?

Yeah, right there, it was

right there in the cruiser,

I just brought in

the whole pack.

- All right.

- Come on, come here,

come here.

There you go, look

at that, first blood.

That's an honor

right there, buddy.

Technically, I

got my deer first,

so, that's second

blood.

Hey, did you

download the files yet?

No, I need the SD

cards, please sir.

- Okay.

- Stop for a second.

Hey man, you're getting

blood all over the place.

Thank you.

- Empty,

- Okay, hold on.

- What?

- Hey maybe it,

hey man, maybe it's with

your other cards, okay?

- Yeah.

- It's in the back.

Okay,

let me get a card.

It's not in there.

Well, Dave man, don't you

have two of those cases?

Let me see that

camera again, huh?

That's the only one

- that I have.

- It's not in the camera.

- Hey, hey!

- Where's the,

where's the camera

that was in tree?

- It's over there on the,

- Did you leave it

- at the stand, maybe?

- No.

- Did you take it out?

- It's not in there!

- Where is it?

- Hey, settle down man,

- settle down.

- It's gotta be in my bag,

it's gotta be in the bag.

Come on, come on,

come on, come on.

It's not in there man!

Don't touch me, don't!

I'm not crazy, I saw that stuff,

there's candles everywhere.

Did you get it all?

- Seany?

- Yeah man, I got it.

I think we got

to call it, guys?

Well what?

I think we take him home,

we take him to the hospital,

whatever we do

though, but I mean,

we gotta get him outta here.

I thought that maybe that this

trip would be good for him

- but, you know,

- Russell, maybe

- No.

- This is a good thing

- for him.

- Hey man, I don't know,

he's been talking to me

about the meaning of the fawn

- and candles in the forest,

- Yeah, yeah,

- He hugged for two hours,

- He's been on his own,

- He hasn't stopped crying,

- He's been on his own

and he's been working

himself to death since,

- Yeah, exactly man.

- Look, what could be better

than being with friends,

enjoying creation and hunting?

I don't know,

- but it ain't working,

- I'm serious, but,

look, look, think about those

kids at your camp, all right?

They are able to have

an experience with God

because they are at camp,

away from distractions, okay?

He's just working

through some stuff

- right now.

- Yeah, clearly.

Look,

I know this is hard but maybe,

maybe this is what

gets him heading back

in the right direction.

And we just need to

be there for him.

Hey.

Maybe God is doing something

out in these woods.

Maybe you're right.

Sean, you gotta

back off, right man?

I think he's fine, man.

- He ain't.

- All right.

All right, fine.

Just, stop pushing the

buttons, that's it, okay?

Thanks.

All right, gentlemen, Russell,

the second candle that I saw

was there in the fire pit.

You guys said it wasn't

there when you went to bed

and I know it's here.

Oh, come on, maybe, it

was hot when I saw it here

and it just melted.

But it was there, it was there!

I swear it was there.

All right, here we go,

the first hunting day,

this was my stand.

That first candle

that I was telling you guys

about was on the sticks,

there was wax all over it.

Oh, it was right here,

it was right here.

Oh God,

there's got to be something.

Come on, come on!

Hey, watch your step.

Oh yep, thank you.

Whoa, look at this.

Oh man, hey we should

send some of this footage

into "American Pickers"

or something, man.

Yeah, it's

quite the collection

for a religious cult.

Heh, right?

Man, I'm gonna cave your

head in through this glass!

Ooh , all

right come on guys,

hurry up, we gotta catch up.

Hey, where's Dave?

He's already left, man.

- What, North blind?

- Yeah, it's a long hike,

he probably just wanted

to get a head start.

So, I did get one

thing right.

I did fall out of my tree stand

and I knocked myself out.

Must have scrambled my brains

because I could have sworn

that symbol was carved

in that tree right there.

And it's not there.

Oh my,.

The show must go on.

You're not gonna believe this.

I've been here for

less than an hour

and look who decides to show up.

Look at him.

That is one good looking fella.

All right, he's at 200 yards.

And he's headed

this way.

Yes, yes, yes!

That arrow flew perfectly,

it hit him right in the chest.

This is a good buck,

it's a wide rack,

I didn't get a count on how

many points, yes!

All right,

there it is.

There's the beginning

of our blood trail.

I saw him take off South

but I didn't hear him fall.

So we are following

that blood trail.

There it is,.

And this is why we're

out here, folks.

Looks like we're

going into the woods,

let's get that buck.

It's been about an hour.

Blood trail disappeared.

Figure I got a couple

hours of sunlight left.

I'm gonna keep pushing on.

There's no way he didn't

go down after that shot.

So, not only have I lost the

biggest buck I've ever shot,

I lost myself, literally.

I can't seem to

make sense of it.

The map is showing a ridge

on the Northeast corner

of the property.

And I have yet to see a ridge

on my way out to this stand.

I can't seem to backtrack

to the clearing,

I should have been

marking my trails, stupid.

This beauty is gonna have

to wait until morning,

get the boys to

come help me out.

Hello!

Russell!

Paul!

Sean!

Hey, you wanted a ghost

story, Sean, here you go.

Guys!

All right, it is the

end of today's hunt

and I ain't got nothing

to show for it ,

but I don't care 'cause I

already got my doe.

But I did have one big

old buck come my way.

Hello!

Yeah, I'm here,

can you guys hear me?

I'm here!

Keep talking!

Guys!

Dave!

Please!

I'm sorry!

God, please!

Dave, come on, man!

Dave, Dave, call out man!

Where you at?

Sean?

Sean, come on man.

Hey, I'm gonna be right

back man, I promise.

I'll be right back.

Dave!

No, no, no.

No,.

No, no, no, what?

Paul?

Paul, what's going on man?

Hey, hey!

Paul!

Wake up!

Dave!

Hey!

I'm coming, man, I'm coming.

Come on!

I'm coming, I'm coming.

Hey!

Hey, hey, hey, dude.

Hey, hey, hey, hey!

No you don't do this, all right?

What?

You okay?

What happened, what happened?

What?

Answer me man,

what, are you okay?

What happened?

What, what?

What is it?

She was there,.

It was so beautiful,.

Now that the footage

is out in the public,

there has been a

lot of controversy.

What'd you think when

you first saw it?

Well, when I first

saw it, I had feelings.

I mean, I could get

feelings from it.

So, I thought, you know,

this is either manmade

and/or God made and then

as I watched it again,

I thought, "boy,

there's some things here

"that man couldn't have done

"and of course some

things that man did do"

but, it's a, it's a challenge

to see what really happened.

So, how did you come

to access the footage

in the first place?

I have a very good friend

that's in the family.

So, they called me up, you know,

that's what I do for a living

is find people that disappear

and so, they called me up

and basically

retained my services.

So, this is where you decided

that you can possibly

help them find these guys.

At least the ones that

are left on Earth, okay?

- Absolutely.

- Why get involved?

Well again, I do this

for a living, okay?

And this is a, right

up Dog's alley,

if God's involved, peoples

involved, hearts are involved,

and I feel good when

I do stuff like this.

Many people online are saying

that it's a bit suspicious

that you have a connection

with the family along

with the missing men.

Well, the internet,

you know how it is.

It said I was passed

away, that I died.

I try not to believe

everything I read online.

What do you think

actually happened?

To speculate right now,

I would be kind of fool.

So, I'm not sure.

I know there was,

I'm almost positive there

was a divine intervention.

Do you suspect that Sean

and Paul had something

to do with it?

So, they did something.

That's why God, you

know, knocked 'em out

or put 'em down in the woods.

You don't think

it was a set up?

I suspect they had something

to do with like the gas,

- the ropes,

- Hm.

Something like that

but the sound, never.

The light, how could they

make a light that bright?

When you watch

something like that,

you got the feeling, you do too.

And you, you know,

the presence of God,

- goosebumps, ooh.

- Yeah.

You know, and so did I and

so did everybody else, so.

I think it was again, some

kind of divine intervention.

Do you think the white

light was a set up?

I don't want to argue

with the white light.

That is divine, okay?

I am almost positive.

So, the light I believe was God.

God proves he's alive himself,

he doesn't need anybody

else to do that.

Do you think you'll ever

find him, any of them?

If I don't find them, I'm

gonna find out what happened.

Anybody can find truth, if

they ask the right question.

So, can I ask?

Why?

Why do you believe

this has happened?

I think God is showing

someone something.

Or maybe more than one.

I don't know exactly

what happened,

but one thing I do know,

he knows what he's doing.
