Tiger King - Season 1 Edit

A complete and total publicity stunt.

A couple of days that van sat there.

A court date has not yet been set.

A cross country, traveling, high end hit man...

A derelict, rundown, backyard collection of 12 cats,

A good and noble fight to stop cub selling, cub petting,

A great guy. I called him when we moved here,

A green thumb for money,

A guy who worked for me shot him,

A hardcore predator.

A heavy minute.

A human being could experience.

A hundred dollars a week.

A hundred dollars a week.

A jacket for the date.

A judge has just declared Lewis dead

A little pussy gets you a lot of pussy. There you go...

A lot of documents, like legal documents and permits...

A lot of people don't believe that it's right

A lot of things happened during those five years.

A lot of things were moved around.

A million dollars from Joe was not real high,

A normal person would put "Upon my death," you know.

A regular baby tiger...

A scenario was thrown at me:

A week before the studio burned to the ground,

About 20 years ago.

About an hour ago, we had an incident

About his family, about anything.

About losing her arm,

About one mile behind the WinStar casino.

About taking out Carole Baskin

About two years  of reconstructive surgery."

About whether or not...

About wildlife trafficking in the United States,

Absolute joy of life.

Absolutely could not stand Don.

Acclimate them to social life with people...

According to them, it was like his Shaktipat.

Actually bought me, like, four or five different trucks.

Actually...

After 30 years.

After I posted it, she paid five dollars for the person that took this photo,

After it was mauled by a tiger.

After that last crash.

After that,

After the kids came back

After they've been here for, like, five years or so,

Again, it's clearly an arson fire.

Ain't gonna work with me, so you need to find a new job.

Ain't nobody help me. Nobody.

Ain't nothin' wrong with it, man. I like my shit medium rare.

All he cared about was that he find a companion,

All he had to do was convince one juror.

All I did constantly was:

All I knew

All of your other hopes, wants, dreams and desires.

All right, I got 15 minutes, so we gotta get them cats loaded,

All right, I'll call you later.

All right, keep rolling, keep rolling.

All right.

All right.

All righty. I love you.

All the cats they bought, all the kittens they bred,

All the circumstantial evidence, somebody did something to Don.

All the text messages were given to the government.

All this was true, and frankly,

All through school, I was dating girls.

All went under his will, didn't it?

Alleged that Jeff Lowe not only knew about the plot to kill Carole Baskin,

ALLEN GLOVER HANDYMAN | G.W. ZOO

Allen Glover, he's an old time employee of Jeff. Jeff knows him real well.

Allen wanted to take Joe out. He hated him that much.

Allen, Jeff Lowe's right hand man, he's a felon.

Also known as Joe Exotic,

Always wanted to say that.

Among a bunch of other bad things.

Among those that they are casting votes for,

An arsonist poured enough accelerant in there

And 24 before I left my husband.

And a couple t bone steaks,

And a few people got some karma coming.

And a limp, and he's bald,

And a look alike Carole walking along with him

And a tiger tore her arm off.

And actually, literally, raise them in your own house?

And all I did is like Jeff told me to do

And all of that,

And all that stuff incriminates him.

And all these people hated one another six months ago

And all you could see is the barrel of the gun.

And also, I got to sleep for a few days...

And amazingly, she held no bitter, ill feelings.

And any time anyone attacks her,

And apparently, they got their way.

And are going through the same rough time.

And as soon as he got the zoo in his name,

And at 19 years old, man,

And at the time, it sounded like a good idea.

And because he obviously knew about it,

And believe it or not,  them padlocks there on the side,

And burned the building down to the ground.

And by the idea of losing everything,

And by the time we did that,

And by the way, that is a penis. A horse penis.

And Carole could be,

And Carole was there.

And certainly that he did not give any money

And could last about two weeks.

And could take what I saw and witnessed and... and harm him with it.

And demanding the whole sum of money

And did I encourage him from time to time?

And did multiple interviews down in Costa Rica.

And did not answer it,

And did not answer it,

And didn't make it there.

And dig up that septic tank,

And do what he wants to do,

And Don Lewis stopped to see if he could help her

And Don started to tell me something.

And drive me out into a swamp,

And drive on.

And end their abuse of animals, we don't stop.

And even had an inkling

And even help feed the cats.

And every time he was in Costa Rica,

And every two weeks it's going up by thousands of dollars.

And everybody's trying to do this and that.

And everything he earned by himself and brought into this marriage by himself.

And fancy cars,

And fed him to the tigers and... crazy bitch out there

And feed him to the tigers so there's no evidence?

And found the skulls.

And fraudulent transfer to his mother,

And get him out of this business.

And get the money. Let's get the money.

And gets him into a position

And goes and spends all this money

And got a copy of one of the deeds, and I said,

And got in a plane and crashed it somewhere.

And had all this money... Blah, blah.

And had Joe

And had our area code and number that forwarded to him.

And had really damaged himself in one of them,

And handed them out, correct?

And have their picture made, then when I come in there

And he asks me if I would get in the car, and I told him no.

And he brought me a piece of paper.

And he came up the hill and goes, "Goddamn, Erik,

And he can't take it anymore.

And he decided that, as the king, he would protect the kingdom at all costs.

And he did a lot of things for me when I came out of prison.

And he did mention to me that he felt his life was in danger.

And he didn't have anything to lose, you know?

And he didn't like her spending his money.

And he does this all the time, he's probably in

And he filed counter claims to drag this out.

And he goes, "Pretty straight."

And he had signs up on the gift shop, he was gonna run for president in 2020.

And he has just recently retired.

And he left with a phone call, and he left out.

And he looked at it more as a business.

And he said, "Aww, man, this is a Ruger.

And he said, "Because God put me here  to make you smile, and that's my job."

And he said, "Look, they asked me to bring Joe a hit man,"

And he said, "Yeah, might as well go on home."

And he said, "You can hold this gun on me,

And he says, "Can you get me immunity?" I said, "I can't."

And he says, "I'll find somebody."

And he says, "I'm special agent Matt Brown, US Fish and Wildlife."

And he says, "They want to."

And he says, "Well, obviously you want  to watch the guy with the big one."

And he shipped out quite a few.

And he thought that, "Here’s my next victim."

And he took it.

And he was He would do anything I asked him to.

And he was all into that.

And he was drinking a lot, doing a lot of cocaine.

And he was hiding from everybody.

And he was like,  "You know, I don't need you.

And he was not satisfied until then.

And he was so devastated, and...

And he was trying to gather up anything he could get ahold of to sell.

And he would have "Carole" written on a name tag on it,

And he would take a dildo and be shoving it in her mouth.

And he...

And he'd come in and buy bullets, you know, like, every day damn near.

And he's footing the bill.

And he's gonna be 11 and a half feet tall.

And he's got to pay everybody to have sex with him.

And he's hurt bad.

And he's like, "Oh Okay! I like that!"

And he's like, "You can sit right here and then shoot her while she's riding."

And he's not even going to get fucking probation or nothing.

And he's the only man I've ever loved.

And help us rebuild the voice of you, the people,

And here is what he started using.

And his chain's not been cleaned properly,

And how are they gonna even go

And how big will this cat get?

And how many died because they didn't have any clue

And how should we set this thing up then, knowing our poor angles...

And how they used, like, principles of yoga to train animals.

And hundreds of animals.

And I actually like the way it turned out they did it.

And I already knew he was bat shit crazy from our conversations at Walmart.

And I am tall, tan, and beautiful.

And I convinced my dad to drive me down.

And I couldn't leave him, because of course I wanted to leave.

And I did not use the circular saw  on his neck. It was somebody else."

And I didn't like that at all.

And I don't know that happened, but...

And I don't know, but I would have hoped

And I don't think he was ever completely right

And I ended up spending the night with him.

And I find out later, John Finlay came out and said,

And I got the evidence,

And I got those six lions.

And I got to change clothes.

And I had everything on videotape, good, bad, and ugly.

And I had to get all the titles to the cars and stuff ready,

And I hadn't backed up anything outside the studio.

And I just said, "I'm out of here, man."

And I knew he just shot Cuddles. I heard it.

And I know from the bottom of my heart,

And I know that there was more to follow...

And I looked at Lauren and I said,

And I made him take those down. I said, "You know what?

And I paid my fees to go on a tour, and I videotaped the tour.

And I picked it up and I wrote my name, and then I handed it back to him.

And I pulled out our contract.

And I remember Don pulls around,

And I said, "Amputate it."

And I said, "Call Carole Baskin and tell her for half a million bucks,

And I said, "Do you think?"

And I said, "Well,

And I said, "Well, in a couple hours, you know,

And I said, "What did you hear?"

And I said, "Why haven't they come to me?"

And I said, "You know what, James, it just doesn't work like that.

And I said, "You watch porn?"

And I specifically remembered Reinke handing me a pen,

And I started spilling my guts.

And I stumbled upon the T.I.G.E.R.S. website,

And I think he maintained

And I think he thought she was there...

And I think it's time to focus back on the animals."

And I think that these people are smart enough

And I think that's how he kept them close to him.

And I think they kinda were skeptical

And I thought it was the noble thing to do.

And I want to meet."

And I was like, "Do I want to get involved in this?"

And I was too... scared to say I didn't want to do it.

And I was willing to make concessions.

And I woke up to see Carole there, holding her gun,

And I worked at the ammo section,

And I would neuter and spay as many cats as fast as I could.

And I'd like to say, I had did this kind of stuff

And I'm gonna liberate...

And I'm gonna put it in  the middle of a big tiger cage

And I'm here at the zoo 24/7.

And I'm looking forward to starting all over again,

And I'm ordering that you surrender any animals that were confiscated.

And I'm standing in a cage with five  full grown tigers and lions, and I...

And I'm still there.

And I'm working with people that just got out of prison.

And I've been stripped off my clothes, my rights, my identity, my dignity.

And I've worked for quite a few people.

And if the cameras are rolling, even better.

And if women knew how rich he was,

And if you continue talking,

And if you got too close, they're gonna tear your fingers off.

And in exchange,

And in two days, they were out in a big yard

And into the dining room at him in order to get out the door.

And it didn't matter how stupid he had to get...

And it goes by so quickly.

And it has chimps who are going to be hilaritly happy about it,

And it is an exact science.

And it just aggravated Joe.

And it just became about them.

And it said, "Finally found where the bitch lives."

And it says "Hey, Howard, suck my Captain Morgan, LOL."

And it says "Smile everyone! Life could be worse.

And it was like, nothing, just throwing the co

And it was me and Reinke on the park with the other crew,

And it was the FBI.

And it was there for a couple of days before the cops came to look at the van.

And it worked. People were contacting us and saying,

And it's gonna happen 365 days a year.

And it's got his four wheeler and his go cart, and...

And it's my ass!

And it's not a job, it's a lifestyle they have dove into.

And it's really easy to do that here, Rick,

And it's the cats, it's really the cats that'll draw people in.

And it's your job now to make sure that no one,

And it's, like, "I've seen you around here a lot.

And Jeff said, "Well, then, I just want to say..."

And Jeff was gonna kill him, and that's why he left the park.

And Joe admitted that to me.

And Joe fucking put his trust in me to do it.

And Joe kept him pumped full of weed

And Joe says, "Look at this bitch.

And Joe says, "Well, how do you think

And Joe was killing tigers,

And Joe was pretty close to Amber because she'd been around for a long time.

And Joe's behind me."

And just how bat shit crazy he had gotten.

And just making suggestions, you know,

And keep in mind, it's illegal now.

And keep your head on your shoulders.

And kinda just fluff it up to where the lights glow.

And last two weeks were, like, $23,000.

And late one night he seen this young girl walking down the street crying,

And Lauren in bed with girls,

And let Jeff open one in his name,

And let them play with cubs while they're doing it.

And let's keep the animal rights people out of Oklahoma.

And let's say she did love Don,

And like, when he proposed to me,

And looking in her house

And lost touch of what really matters here.

And make sure that this was still active and happening.

And make them lower in the winter and bigger in the summer.

And maybe breeding them and crossbreeding them.

And my first cats that I got were probably at 16 or 17 years old.

And my Italian partner there.

And my job was to get him out of trouble.

And nobody will be allowed to be keeping these big cats as pets any longer,

And nobody's going in there to rescue him.

And nobody's gonna tell me any other way.

And Oklahoma gubernatorial candidate.

And on this tour, we only saw 12.

And on Twitter, you know, you're not afraid to respond to viewers

And once it leaves that cold shelf, it cannot go back.

And one day Joe asked me if...

And one Gulf Breeze officer screams, 'Get on the ground.'

And one of our volunteers came to me and said

And owned 1,200 tigers and lions and bears and monkeys and shit.

And posing like they're some kind of trophies,

And printing and signs and t shirts and condoms with his picture on it.

And produces incredible campaign videos.

And put in bad things in their accounts.

And put it on the body of a man in a diaper.

And put them crooked bastards where they belong.

And putting it in her name.

And recommended her murder take place on the bike path near her home.

And Reinke says, "I ain't touching nothing till the fire department gets here.

And relieved with the outcome.

And rented a helicopter, and I flew over Big Cat Rescue.

And restaurants and bars.

And said, "Man, I wish Carole was dead"? Absolutely. He said it a hundred times.

And said, you know, "Freeze, motherfucker,"

And say that they've heard a gunshot in the middle of the night

And say, "This is really cruel, and that's why it's cruel,"

And see that it's this big network of people.

And seems, in my opinion,

And separate him from his wealth. In my opinion.

And set fire to not only my recording studio,

And she did mourn his death tremendously.

And she didn't want to stay walking down the street

And she has a sick sense of humor.

And she ordered me out of the house or she would kill me.

And she said, "Well, he shoved a paper in front of me and told me to sign.

And she says, "I don't know." She says,

And she was my number one murdered her husband

And she was very dangerous.

And she's riding like the Wicked Witch of the West,

And she's so jealous of what he has made of his animal park

And smoke a cigarette. And...

And so it has been a problem.

And so they could look me in the eye..

And so they go to Big Cat Rescue,

And so, our opponents are really smart

And some attitudes got out of hand.

And someday he's going to feel differently,

And sorry if he steps on some toes,

And started griping and complaining about Allen every fucking day.

And sticking my mom at the very top of that building right there

And stirred up a bunch of shit.

And strangled his first wife, Kathy Lowe.

And take her head

And talk about Joe...

And tell 'em to answer that radio, they're going home.

And that has always been very difficult for my kids

And that he would pay him some upfront money.

And that looked so good after working so hard

And that man didn't do anything on park.

And that was a big attractant for him because he's a swinger.

And that was less government, less spending, less bills.

And that was my main value to him.

And that was never going to happen.

And that was some hard drives and... and some videotape

And that was the last I saw of him, so I just don't know.

And that was the last thing that he said to me.

And that was what he was trying to protect.

And that'd be great, for them to teach a baby that too.

And that's a Joe Exotic promise.

And that's how I met them, and they seemed to be good people.

And that's in Africa and Asia and India, not in Oklahoma.

And that's just how Joe does business.

And that's not enough to get an injunction.

And that's probably the last time I will ever see Joe Exotic.

And that's the conservation protection of the species of this planet.

And that's what they ate, because that's all they had.

And that's when I said, "I can do this,"

And that's when... it all went to hell.

And the agents agreed this plot had fallen apart.

And the animals.

And the bright, big smile,

And the Feds fucking twisted my arm over that and shit.

And the hardest part I had in dealing with that was...

And the judge announced that she was granting our motion...

And the ladies of my life.

And the list goes on. Ow, son of a bitch!

And the next day there's no cat...

And the other lawsuit was about a bunch of photos

And the way I do it tends to work for me.

And the wildlife charges

And then a text came in that said,

And then brought people up to have play times with them and party with them.

And then I heard a gun. Joe, he didn't really get into detail.

And then I never heard from anybody.

And then I'mma put a bullet right between your fucking eyes!

And then it turned like to shit quick.

And then Jeff Lowe goes to Google Earth and...

And then Jeff talked me into giving him  $14,000 to open a pizza restaurant.

And then just tell me what you want me to hear.

And then my lawyers recommended

And then one day he came in

And then rapidly broken his lease, packed up his things, and moved.

And then that he cremates their bodies in his on site crematorium.

And then that's when me and Jeff became friendly,

And then the next time that I remembered anything

And then the rabbit picture showed up on Facebook.

And then there's Travis.

And then through that,

And then, he got Carole on the phone. [laughs]

And then, she sued me.

And then, the second time was in Vegas.

And then, three months later, she copyrighted it,

And there was 32 years difference between us.

And they ain't doing nothing to him.

And they brought their families.

And they do get bonded with humans.

And they do have families outside of creating

And they do what they call pinging his phones off of cell towers

And they donated enough,

And they go after anybody involved.

And they let them bring that van back to Easy Street.

And they panicked and dumped him on my farm.

And they said that the mother didn't get a fair settlement

And they said, "Look, Joe Exotic is going down."

And they take that need and they fulfill it...

And they talked about how everyone was vegetarian

And they tried to take him back to court, get more money out of him,

And they were only for a certain time.

And they were talking about the easiest way to kill Carole.

And they will not tolerate, animal abuse.

And they would have ten tellers  sit there and count it.

And they'd carry bags of this expired meat and foods back to their mobile home,

And they'll have to do the same thing with you.

And they're grinning from ear to ear

And they're so much fun!

And they're still sitting there tonight.

And they're using those animals as the way of forcing these people

And thing like that, and that might have been a motivation

And think they're going to the world's greatest big cat sanctuary.

And this cat was sniffing his shoes and sniffing his shoes.

And this guy starts coming toward me.

And this is all paid for by the committee of Joe Exotic Speaks for America.

And this is his private collection at his home.

And this is my mother in law. Run!

And this is the horse's penis that he's holding

And this picture that you see back here,

And this was at the point where we'd heard

And till this day, I still think there's a case pending

And to get to that point,

And to tell you the truth, she's not that good.

And try to find out Allen's side of the story.

And understand how badly they're being abused themselves.

And volumes of the stuff that went wrong there, the lies that are there.

And was appointed a public defender by a federal magistrate judge today.

And we carried guns in our car.

And we couldn't find anybody good around locally.

And we drove around town and he talked.

And we had filed a motion for summary judgment.

And we had the Vegas parties and we had tigers in our house.

And we indicted him.

And we made some improvements

And we met with Joe and his attorneys for two days.

And we moved them to the Great Apes Center in Florida.

And we were all going with it. And me, as a reality show producer?

And we'll do this there."

And we're going off to get married

And we're going to be patient and persistent, and we will win,

And we're gonna make an honest woman out of this bitch.

And we're not going to allow him to abuse the system

And wear us out and cause us to go away and succeed at that.

And what he was worth,

And what was really sad is I had to...

And what we were allowed to do,

And what's your role today?

And when I talked to Glover, Glover was mean and nasty.

And when the shit hits the fan, I don't need another felony.

And whenever Jeff got around, Joe got a big head and...

And where everything is neutral and happy and going well.

And where will they go when they leave?

And whether it's five years or ten years,

And why is he working for the Feds?

And why wouldn't you put my name on your zoo?"

And with his trial looming, other investigations are unfolding.

And with that being their driving motivation,

And with the assistance of some local law enforcement,

And write that out and present it before a judge

And yes, I'm running for governor of the state of Oklahoma as well.

And yet, he had so much confidence

And yet, that has been twisted into us being these horrific monsters

And you can have some of the best pizza

And you certainly don't find him from a new friend.

And you could not fly those things that far.

And you even said it before I went to Las Vegas.

And you go to the register

And you just take care of the park. Be a handyman for me."

And you know how you thought James recorded you? You're right.

And you know this because

And you would think that it would be a mistrial.

And you'd have to know Don to know his properties.

And you'll become enlightened.

And you'll go to jail forever."

And you're gonna have to kill me  to shut me up...

And you're gonna stop breeding, and you're gonna stop cub petting."

And you're the first choice every time?

And your credit card declines or your check declines,

And, oh, my god, shit hit the fan.

And, uh, Joe says...

And, you know, everybody's got a past.

And, you know, they told me unless I just had

And, you know, you can believe what you want to believe...

And... [chuckles] it's so funny,

And... and continue to be the tiger queen, I mean tiger king.

And... and luckily, there are a great many third party options out there.

And... he was playing this part,

And... thank God I did.

And... that was the wrap.

And... this one down here.

And... took Joe's documents, jump drives, and all this other stuff.

And... yeah, I thought it was very odd.

Animal control stormed the place like we were El Chapo,

Animal rights people hate us.

Animals don't judge you as long as you're really good at heart.

Anne McQueen come up because that was her office,

Announcing his intent to run for president as an independent.

Any law that you think's unfair  or unjustice,

Anybody could be a suspect. Now, having said that,

Anybody interested come and get it.  Including you...

Anybody that wants to threaten an American citizen

Anyone who says they don't is just insecure and broken.

Anything and everything that had his image went on the burn pile

Anything endangered,

Apparently there was nothing there that suggested

Apparently, I chickened the fuck out and didn't make it there.

Apparently, I chickened the fuck out,

Apparently, not. They were arguing about it.

Are accused of operating a ten year,

Are among the most disliked presidential candidates in history.

Are for shooting and killing five tigers that were at his facility

Are gonna be the winners of this,

Are the people that were closest to Don, so that's where we've looked.

Are those who are breeding these cubs and using them as pay to play props.

Are we running a competition? I don't think so.

Are you gonna ride Where do you wanna ride in the parade?

Around the country.

As far as husbands go.

As far as I know they could've busted him with a whole bunch of stolen shit.

As far as the footage, I don't know who's got it.

As far as what was the priority.

As frequently as we do now.

As I am of you. Let's hope

As soon as we get the new one down in Thackerville built.

As we keep building. Anything and everything, we want it all.

As well as a studio that Joe had... it was clearly an arson.

At about 1:30 in the afternoon.

At all.

At eight, nine o'clock at night, and hear this...

At first, it was only, like, a couple of litters a year,

At the investigation side of it.

At the lake and the river.

At the same time I didn't, you know?

At the same time I didn't, you know?

At three o'clock in the morning.

At your zoo? That's the question.

Back then, I sold drugs to maintain my animal habit.

Bad dream, baby.

Bashing rabbits in the head

Basically fast pacing through the volunteer program.

Be sure and get online

Be sure you don't call me.

Because anything he touched, practically...

Because back then he was, like,

Because everyone else is scared to.

Because he always said, "Hon, if anybody could get the people in this state

Because he couldn't do road shows anymore, not without the equipment.

Because he didn't want us to be able to prove the embezzlement.

Because he meant so much to me for so long.

Because he owned the world in his head.

Because he was being Mr. Showoff with Lauren,

Because he was going early, early, early, he said, the next day to Costa Rica...

Because he was in love with the younger blonde woman...

Because he was so shy.

Because he was too young.

Because he wasn't providing me the statements.

Because he's jealous. He's a little man with a little dick...

Because I don't have to look over my shoulder,

Because I had a camera crew shooting a reality show

Because I had two baby cats up there.

Because I was her  number one most wanted cub abuser

Because I was shooting everything in his personal life...

Because I was the only one there.

Because I'm gonna die a hero...

Because I'm sure you don't want to hear about

Because if you can get somebody to sit down and pet a cheetah

Because it causes us so much pain

Because it takes a few people to lift a big cat.

Because Jeff and James was con artist buddies.

Because Jeff Lowe told me on the phone that he was going to use Allen Glover.

Because nobody can afford the lawyer bills.

Because none of that's on my computer.

Because of statements made by John and Joe.

Because people do have lives

Because people will do that for free.

Because she's been harassing us right along with Joe

Because she's so greedy,

Because that's how they blackmail you.

Because the 80 tigers will still be standing there

Because the Endangered Species Act  forbids selling a tiger.

Because the first two charges for murder for hire would not have stuck.

Because the murder for hire charge was so flimsy.

Because the very people that are against breeding

Because their favorite cat's finally getting a rabbit,

Because then you'll get it.

Because there's not too many gay guys in Wynnewood, Oklahoma.

Because they burned up...

Because they could be accused of having done it for their leader

Because they don't make a ring that big.

Because they found my fingerprints inside of his van.

Because they knew about it.

Because they were all worth three and four thousand dollars apiece,

Because they're gonna end up with the property

Because they're just not going to allow the public to see

Because we got e mails between her and my producer.

Because we're gonna have so many people here today,

Because when that happened...

Because, fuck, I gave her information on everybody.

Because, you know, Travis was a jokester.

Because...

Been around them ever since.

Been given money by Mr. Passage,

Before he disappeared.

Before I'm done with this,

Before I'm done with this, I'm gonna have the bitch's head in a jar.

Before they give me immunity,

Before they took it to the grand jury or jury or whatever the hell it is.

Behind the crews shooting his Internet show.

Being around him, and I was around him quite a bit,

Being chimpanzees.

Between Mr. Garretson and Mr. Maldonado Passage

Between the park and the lawsuit,

Bhagavan means that you're a friend of God.

Big Cat Rescue Entertainment?

Big, solid wood, red velvet, the whole works,

Boiling alive in a

Boiling alive in a towering inferno of nothing but flames and fire.

Boiling alive in an inferno, a towering inferno?

Bones of big cats.

Born, raised...

Both counts one and two

Bought a lion cub out of the Dallas morning newspaper.

Bow down, tell her to go fuck herself and walk the fuck out.

Brand new attitudes. New employees.

Brr!

Built the signs and everything else.

But after a year and a half of investigating numerous theories,

But all of his planes were small...

But also, they were pushing me to get implants...

But any way you look at it, she wants to take over the zoo.

But apparently, he was coming down, I think it was Nebraska...

But because he didn't commit the overt act of...

But despite having  this criminal background,

But did he simply walk away?

But do I believe that Joe had a conversation with someone

But Don did fly a lot of airplanes.

But even by modern standards, this is an unusual wedding.

But he carried a 500 dollar bill around in his pocket...

But he couldn't remember where he was for the last five minutes.

But he does it anyway, so...

But he got violent with her.

But he had clearly done it to antagonize us.

But he is pleading not guilty.

But he only spends five seconds listening, and then he'll walk out on me.

But he said Joe would freak out if he left the property.

But he tried to talk me into going to Costa Rica.

But he was denied protection

But he's not responding.

But he's really trying to find somebody to kill Carole Baskin.

But here's the problem with kings

But Hillsborough County Sheriff's deputies say

But I carry the stigma of it.

But I could tell it was a listening device.

But I did my time for what I did.

But I didn't because I felt like  those are his kids.

But I don't know if I can get him out of this.

But I don't think... I don't think that there was collusion there.

But I have no firsthand knowledge, and I can't prove it.

But I knew something was going to come down sooner or later

But I know at least five million, if not ten million.

But I needed him to tell me something.

But I take pictures of the sky while I'm doing it.

But I truly believe in karma.

But I wasn't surprised that he would try to follow through.

But I won the appeal.

But I'm gonna say Don Lewis was probably worth, um...

But I'm sure it was the cars that he bought John Finlay,

But I've heard enough to book to say that's probably true.

But I've never been a greedy person.

But if Travis was happy, I was gonna accept it, no matte, you know...

But if we were to say, "You know what? This is dangerous.

But if you listen to me, I'll make you great."

But in a given week, we can reach three million.

But it came to a crashing halt.

But it tends to work for him,

But it was over.

But it was over.

But it's gotten really dark.

But it's never materialized.

But it's your understanding, when he gave you that money,

But it's, like... it's my lifestyle, it's what I want to do.

But Jeff Lowe was actually in there, and he was laying low during the call.

But Jeff Lowe's had time to remove that all from his computer now.

But Jeff Lowe's taken the park from me."

But knew him much longer than that.

But leave me for a woman, I can't compete with that.

But let me tell you, they've awoken a monster.

But my husband's at home feeding my brand new baby kangaroo.

But no, he didn't.

But nobody can prove it.

But nobody focuses on being "the nicest."

But not only are they abusing the people that worked there...

But not with a fat guy in a van. It was a Corvette. I did it by myself.

But people will protest,

But sometimes legally, there

But that happened in June, and he disappeared in August.

But that he took an active role in hatching that plan.

But that was just all in his head.

But that was the closest thing that I had to a memorial.

But that was the deal.

But that wasn't about the fucking money.

But that's why he packed up and left.

But the Feds wanted me to put in an undercover agent.

But the idea of leaving and having to raise a child on my own

But the jury was selected.

But the next morning,

But the paranoia was not unfounded.

But the penalties for that were far less

But the studio that houses our alligators,

But there ain't a damn zoo out there

But there was supposed to be payment.

But there were months where nothing happened.

But they are awesome and easygoing, so it's all good.

But they don't know where the cat went.

But they required a lot of money.

But they would all go through it and get 'em something to eat.

But they wouldn't tell me what it is,

But things started to sour.

But this is part of our mission, to put a stop to this.

But until, like she said, until someone comes forward...

But we could just never pinpoint his location.

But we could sue him for violating our copyright

But we never made him any kind of offer

But we went to dinner and he never went home.

But we went to the jail where he's held in Oklahoma

But whatever paperwork or whatever they needed,

But when I did come here,

But when I showed up at the zoo that day

But who in the world anticipates disappearance?

But yeah...

But yes, I did some sagas on Carole Baskin killing rabbits.

But yes, this is a nine month old liger child.

But you got to have the bodies...

But you know, I don't want to be dealing with them.

But, I mean, it definitely looked like it.

But, you know, he lives with Joe.

But...

But... I just took it as jokes.

But... I'm trying to make sure I don't go.

But... moving on with life.

By a lot of the players.

By feeding them Joe. I mean,

By the time I left,

By title.

Called a couple of them "fucking faggots"

Camouflage suit on, okay. But a fucking crossbow?

Can I take it from you? Yes.

Can I throw it? Go get it. Go get it.

Can you give me my whip?

Cannot cost three grand.

Carole and her family got rid of everybody that worked for Don.

Carole bankrupted 'em.

Carole Baskin and Howard Baskin spend most of their time and money...

Carole Baskin better never, ever, ever

Carole Baskin down in Florida

Carole Baskin is speaking out about some of the threats

Carole Baskin of Big Cat Rescue has an army of people working for free.

Carole Baskin,

Carole Baskin, crawl this fence and try to hurt any of my animals again,

Carole Baskin's lawyers are vicious,

Carole had him by the balls, and he hated her.

Carole has gotten angry enough to threaten to kill me."

Carole indicated the last time that she saw her husband

Carole pretty much had nothing.

Carole wanted the animals just to collect and love...

Carole, goddamn it, you've missed out on it again.

Carole, you can guaran goddamn tee I'm gonna put a cap in your ass.

Carole.

Carole's bitching that...

Carole's diary.

Carole's phone rang and saw that it was the 405 number

Changing your name is a very quick way to change everything else about you.

Come a little closer.

Come here. Come here.

Come here. Hello.

Come here. I'll provide your meth

Come on in.

Come on in.

Comes from doing things in a certain way.

Communication! Stay alive!

Constantly saying those things and making those accusations,

Convinced us that he had

Counts three through seven of the indictment

Crazy.

Cried about it for forever,

Criminal enterprises are operating under the radar illegally

Crushed my feet, broke my hip, broke my back,

Cut the locks on the office.

Cut the power to the trailer, cut the water, cut the sewer.

Daddy never really involved "the law" in anything.

Dark complected gentleman

Definitely what we were allowed to eat as vegetarians,

DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE

Derived from Joseph

Did he testify? No. Why? He would have perjured himself.

Did I deprive them of that for ten years?

Did I do it on purpose?

Did I hear you say you wanted my fucking watch?

Did I know anybody that could kill the lady?

Did Joe do wrong? Yeah, I'm sure he did wrong.

Did my time for that.

Did not really care if the snake lived or died,

Did you actually grind your husband up

Didn't happen.

DILLON PASSAGE JOE'S HUSBAND

Dirty politics is what I call it.

Discovery Channel, here I come!

Do I want to see this guy put away and others free

Do you know the power you have if you search Google around the world,

Do you know why animals die in cages?

Do you remember that, Donna telling us that?

Do you see what I'm saying, Joe? [Joe] I hear you.

Do you still have the exotic farm?

Do you think it could have been Joe?

Do you understand my order?

Do you understand my orders?

Doc Antle puts tiger cubs who have aged out of playtime events

Doc said men are pigs and women are sheep.

Doc saw how well I did with Lakshman.

Doc says, "You're this garbage person,

Does that look happy?

Doesn't come off to me as being gay,

Doing his little Internet shows was only my way of getting into the zoo,

Don and I had differing feelings about conservation and breeding.

Don had a fascination with animals,

Don Lewis didn't want people knowing what he had

Don lost his pilot's license the day after he got it,

Don trusted Anne with every penny he had.

Don was a millionaire, he was a multi millionaire, okay?

Don't burn live, innocent animals to get your fucking point across.

Don't let them bite it.

Don't try this at home, kids.

Don't... don't free that motherfucker. No.

Down to the Costa Rica area.

Down underneath the level where radar picks you up.

Duh. What's the first thing you should do to protect an endangered species?

Duping tons of teenage children

During the summer of 2018,

Easy. Don't bite. Don't bite. Hit it. Hit it.

Eccentric is a good word to use.

Eighteen years?

Endless resources to keep the lawsuit going,

Especially in a parade.

Evaluate some new plane that was for sale.

Even if it's a train wreck, you can't help but look.

Even if it's not completely done,

Even if you do win, it's still gonna cost so much time,

Even locked up for what he did.

Even though Jeff was the owner of the park,

Even though they were making fun of him,

Ever since the murder for hire allegations came to light.

Ever since then, it's been a Jeff Lowe world,

Ever, ever, ever again?

Every day, you're really gonna care for the animals first,

Every flight he ever did after that, and there were a lot of them,

Every fucking thing he gets, sir.

Every morning before I open the park,

Every two weeks, we get a check from Facebook,

Everybody anticipates their death,

Everybody looked at him like a clown.

Everybody that works here knows exactly what I'm talking about,

Everybody thought Jeff was this multi millionaire

Everybody wants to be "the biggest,"

Everybody was adding him on Facebook and stuff,

Everybody will be comfortable.

Everybody will be comfortable.

Everybody's accused me of all these crimes,

Everybody's jealous.

Everyone involved is a so called animal advocate.

Everyone loves them.

Everything about him is a lie.

Everything about him is a lie.

Everything had to be down in Miami Monday morning...

Everything I had dreamed of in finding a reality show.

Everything is gonna be huge, it's gonna be open,

Everything is unfolding the way that it has to

Everything was falling apart,

Everything's super... secure.

Except for no poop from Frosty.

Except for privileged calls between attorney and client.

Except for privileged calls between attorney and client.

Except instead of having, you know, hand grenades, we have tigers.

Excited?

Feel free to look around as much as you want.

Fell in love with straight guys,

Female.

Film a reality show

Find this woman.

First I heard that Glover was gonna knife her.

First it was $5,000, but the only thing he come up with was three grand.

First sentence, "Upon my disappearance."

First time, I told him, "I don't need you  to teach me a damn thing about animals.

Fish and Game guys were like, "Fuck, what's going on?"

Five cars and trucks surround me,

Five thousand right here.

Five years and one day after he disappeared.

Follow me. Don't ever put that camera down in there.

For Certainly in his universe he definitely is that character,

For 12 hours. Ten to 12 hours every day of work, yeah.

For all the support and help you have done

For Don Lewis for years.

For everything that the prosecution said.

For former big cat owner Joe Exotic continues.

For having someone burn down the building,

For him as a person.

For him to go down there

For his own damn, you know...

For information leading to the arrest and the conviction

For murder for hire...

For over ten years.

For so many hours with no break.

For the animals.

For the dementia and the forgetfulness.

For the first episode of the show.

For the last two years,

For the reality show.

For them to speculate that I fed him to the tigers, which is...

For us to become our highest possible self.

For when good things happen.

For years,

For, I guess, like, a really beautiful woman

Fosh, by the time I was 15, he would have been, what, nine.

Four days before he disappeared,

From a lady in Florida

From a previous marriage and former secretary

From all I mean, from everybody.

From finances to animal care to employees.

From something happening to my father...

From the time I came here that I produced."

From the time of kindergarten till I graduated,

From vehicles to four wheelers to... everything.

From your local jail in Chickasha, Oklahoma.

Fuck me, man!

Fuck no, but I'm done with the animal world,

Fuck.

Fuck.

Fucking crazy.

He decided he wants to stay in Vegas and try and make money out there.

He definitely had his daughter's back.

He definitely liked the idea

He would float back and forth from Vegas to Wynnewood a lot.

He would go down over the Gulf of Mexico,

He would go down to Costa Rica once a month,

He would need someplace to put 14 of his own cats.

He would never know if they loved him for him or his money."

He would take out there and blow it up with Tannerite.

He'd done that to me on multiple occasions.

He'd given me a copy of the restraining order

His attorneys didn't want him to testify.

His claim to fame is being one of the biggest drug dealers

His mistress at that time.

His mood swings were significant.

His own kids demanded that they DNA test the meat grinder.

His social media posts seemed to be designed to indicate

His touch brings them up to his level of enlightenment.

Hiya, Miss Silva, this is Joe Exotic

Ho!

Honestly, I thought it would end there.

How are you feeling tonight, Joe?

How could they possibly give testimony, and you believe what they were saying,

How do you target me?

How is he not facing any charges?

How the fuck you got these women trained?"

How they're gonna kill 'em. They just said,

Howard, this entire row of files is all dedicated to Joe.

However, after just three short hours, nearly four hours,

However, I would say within the first week or two

Hugging on each other.

Hundreds of thousands of dollars into defending herself.

I Goddamn, one of the best people. I've... know him four years, man.

I actually had to throw a potato across the kitchen

I ain't lived with that till this moment.

I am about to go live on the Dodo Impact.

I am broke as shit.

I am gay.

I am supposed to be in this country,

I am.

I asked him every day,

I asked him if he wanted to cooperate and he said...

I believe that there's a lot of people out there

I believe they had just

I bet I walked 20 miles a day at that zoo...

I breed more tigers than anybody in the country.

I breed more tigers than anybody in the country.

I call Jeff and I say, "Jeff, Allen won't wear a uniform.

I called. I called and I asked the feds.

I came here to bail your ass out.

I came in the office one day, and he's like,

I can give you your money back, or I can give you a rain check.

I can go on."

I can make the $5,000 a month to pay you,

I can't and I won't."

I can't be targeted.

I can't compete with that, you know?

I can't do it.

I can't do much more of this.

I can't really tell you all the places I've been.

I can't tell you how many times everybody said it.

I cannot tell you that we have zeroed in on any particular suspect.

I certainly didn't want to sleep with him, but I was thinking about it.

I cooperated in every form and fashion that they wanted me to cooperate.

I could give a crap about his Internet show.

I could put together $3,000 to give Allen,

I couldn't have run his hand through the grinder, much less a body.

I cried because all of our footage was in that studio,

I deal with stress I think the same way cats do.

I did see Don Lewis about maybe a month or so

I didn't care.

I didn't go 900 miles to build the damn zoo by my damn self

I didn't go to fucking Tampa. What would I want to go there for?

I didn't have a clue where he was going, what he was gonna do.

I didn't know that he was behind on Ferrari payments.

I didn't know that mansion was rented.

I didn't really know any better.

I didn't see anybody there for Joe. I didn't

I didn't think anything of it."

I didn't want to be unhappy anymore,

I do know that.

I do own this show. I do own it."

I do, I do. I'm gonna jump off this fucking roof here in a minute.

I do.

I do.

I don't agree with the laws.

I don't believe a word about dementia

I don't care about anything else!"

I don't care what he is."

I don't even have bear buckets today.

I don't even know how you hold your head up

I don't fucking care.

I don't get traffic tickets.

I don't give a flying fuck!

I don't give a shit because she will never shut this mouth up, all right?

I don't give a shit.

I don't go to court.

I don't have all this drama hanging over me anymore.

I don't have anything to do with any of this

I don't know for a fact, but James Garretson ought to be a felon.

I don't know how he ended up with Joe.

I don't know how much love was involved,

I don't know if it was planted there.

I don't know if she wants the facility, or if she wants the facility shut down.

I don't know of anyone who has ever been able to infiltrate

I don't know what happened.

I don't know what he wants.

I don't know what I could go to prison for.

I don't know where and how he lost it, but he lost it.

I don't know where I went,

I don't know which way this is going to go.

I don't know who anticipates

I don't know, I just didn't think that was right.

I don't know.

I don't know...

I don't like the government.

I don't own anything.

I don't pay anybody to do animal care,

I don't pretend to be a technical wizard,

I don't really like the feds.

I don't regret any of what I have lived through

I don't think anybody knew,

I don't think I'm finished in this.

I don't think I've ever really been to one, so...

I don't think it could cost thirty grand.

I don't think Joe considers lying to be a question of ethics

I don't think that it is any surprise that he did not testify.

I don't want anybody getting Jeff all riled up

I don't want to say it's all the way similar,

I don't, right in front of me,  have what Saga 39 was about.

I dropped to my knees and I cried.

I drove lions, tigers, bears...

I enjoy being around Joe and John and all the animals.

I envision a great big four or five million dollar zoo right now.

I feel good about my jury.

I feel the one that would benefit the most

I fell 50 feet, landed on my feet...

I felt it when I got to hold a tiger in my hands,

I figured it was because he didn't want to be around any of it,

I finally moved my two chimpanzees last week.

I got 22 coming in on Sunday.

I got a lot of damn earth to move for one person.

I got a phone call stating that the office alarm had gone off,

I got everything invested in that project that no longer exists."

I got food. [cooing]

I got great news for you.

I got him on videotape.

I got his lamp that they made me

I got in my truck.

I got into cats when I was about 17.

I got married to Michael when I was 17.

I got my dog.

I got no answer.

I got one ham.

I got to a point where I was on the phone saying,

I guess Joe was smart enough when he walked up and seen a young boy.

I had a complete nervous breakdown.

I had a crazier partner than me who said, "Let's just cut up and burn him."

I had a girlfriend... every time.

I had a little different vision.

I had been ****d at knifepoint by three men

I had bought a lemur with bogus paperwork.

I had cooked dinner for 150 people,

I had my days of drinking.

I had my days of meth.

I had my name legally changed to Bala for many years.

I had nothing to do with that.

I had one of my semi daily conversations with James Garretson.

I had sent Rick Kirkham a Facebook message and I said,

I hate the fucking USDA.

I have a judgment against me from some bitch down there in Florida.

I have seven or eight that we raise.

I have the proof of everything.

I have, in 37 years, never seen it say, "Or disappearance."

I haven't worn pants in 20 years. I gotta buy business attire.

I heard that Joe tried to hire someone to kill Carole.

I hope Jamie never finds herself

I just can't believe he actually paid somebody to do it.

I just decided to walk away.

I just felt like Carole did something, and they needed to protect her...

I just got sick of it, and I stepped up.

I just gotta get it on network.

I just had to, you know just gonna go with the flow.

I just need somebody to talk to."

I just pace and pace and pace and pace.

I just put it off, as y'know, bullshit.

I just work all day.

I keep telling myself over and over,

I kept waiting for him to call me. He didn't call me.

I kinda idolized him, you know.

I knew a lot of what he was doing.

I knew he was dead the second that he pulled the trigger, but...

I knew him as his lawyer,

I knew that he was deranged.

I knew that somebody really wants me dead.

I knew the picture in Belize was bullshit.

I knew there was drug use going on...

I knew what he was doing,

I know a lot more than he knew about politics,

I know he strangled his first wife in the past.

I know her father, Carole's father, Vernon, could not stand him.

I know how great this reality show could be.

I know she's panting hard, but she's having a cub.

I know that the only reason

I know.

I left everything I owned, and I drove, and I left and went back to Dallas.

I liked Carole.

I lost a lot of weight. None of my pants fit me anymore.

I love the cute hat!

I love those.

I love you.

I mean, all they had to do was ask,

I mean, he said a lot of things...

I mean, he told me with his own mouth that he wasn't gay.

I mean, I can sit here on this interview and tell you I'd kill 37 people a week.

I mean, I got to pet cats that people

I mean, I like pink camo.

I mean, I would say stranger things have happened.

I mean, I'm still kinda fucked up in the head from it now.

I mean, imagine that maybe she didn't have anything to do with it,

I mean, it got crazy. Got crazy.

I mean, it was all my fault.

I mean, it was just That's the way it was.

I mean, it was sort of funny when they started,

I mean, it's the same zoo that Joe had, so...

I mean, not everybody gets the opportunity to see a tiger, you know,

I mean, she's a master marketer, I'll give her that.

I mean, the cages are tiny,

I mean, there's another theory that one of the buildings they built,

I mean, they don't know what I'm gonna do.

I mean, they're free to leave, they're usually not locked up.

I mean, this guy was   He had a ton of animals,

I mean, we didn't know everything going on.

I mean, we're not gonna take wild animals into public buildings to make our point.

I mean, we're the biggest center in the United States

I mean, we've all said it. "Somebody needs to kill the bitch."

I mean, you had to climb I almost had to climb a fence

I mean, you're going to have to have this person living in your home.

I mean...

I mean... everywhere.

I met Dillon in a chat room.

I miss him greatly.

I need my clapper, Mark, what are you doing?

I need you to stand here and let them get used to you.

I never got to see him again after that.

I never mess with the feds.

I never really got how poor we were until I was a teenager.

I never saw it in person,

I never threatened him.

I only charged him $8,000

I opened the letter and I just

I own all of your Internet footage

I packed up everything, I sold my car,

I picked him up, we rode in my car.

I posted online, 28 different places  that are all part of this whole...

I promise you he's underneath that damn thing.

I promise you, he's trying to squash that bullshit in Las Vegas

I ran strip clubs. Worked in the circus.

I ran that zoo for 14 years.

I really, really did like Carole,

I really, really do. I miss Bonedigger and Cletus.

I refuse to wear a suit.

I remember doing 57 sagas about Carole Baskin.

I remember looking out the window

I remember the day his death certificate came...

I remember walking over  and handing the camera to Reinke,

I said you can get a nanny as long as I get to pick her.

I said, "Allen, what would you think about moving out here?"

I said, "because they don't want you, they want Joe."

I said, "Here's what I wanna do, Joe. I'm gonna build a king's throne.

I said, "Holy crap, man."

I said, "I'll cut her fucking head off for ya if you want."

I said, "I'll give you a place to stay

I said, "I'm working undercover with the Feds and Fish and Game."

I said, "Is he capable of it?" I said, "Of course. Who's not?"

I said, "Joe, actually I do right now.

I said, "No, I can't.

I said, "Really? Can you tell me what it was about?"

I said, "Sure I'll do it." He offered me $100,000 to do it.

I said, "That's not my position." I said,

I said, "Well, do you enjoy...

I said, "Well, you ain't that straight."

I said, "What problem would that be?" He said, "Carole Baskin."

I said, "Why me?"

I said, "Would you like me to bring it back?"

I saw, like, Joe bow down to Jeff.

I say, "I have the zoo down in Wynnewood."

I says, "He has the coolest animals,

I should've took that as a very strong warning.

I shouldn't have animals because I was a convicted felon.

I showed it to him. I said, "Joe, when I came here,

I sit out here with him by myself,

I started calling him. Didn't answer the phone.

I started experiencing a lot of different things.

I started partying instead.

I still think that she deserves to sit in jail for killing her husband.

I suspect that Joe was responsible

I suspected it.

I suspected Kirkham of taking all of his material.

I think he probably had some onions in his pocket,

I think he was just leaving that up to the hit man.

I think he was preparing his estate and assets in a way

I think he would consider it to be an art form.

I think his care for the animals declined...

I think his exact words were,

I think I'm going home.

I think it was closer to... seven to seven and a half million dollars,

I think it was me and Carole.

I think it would push this movement so far forward

I think it's probably a hundred grand to find that guy,

I think James' mentality was He says

I think Joe thought that I put Allen here as a plant

I think other people are going too.

I think someone else drove the van there.

I think that Carole did start feeling bad about selling the animals

I think that was the straw that broke the camel's back.

I think that's where he kinda lost his path,

I think the cages will start just the other side of those trees.

I think the saving grace in that situation was Travis.

I think what's going on around here is great.

I think, honestly... [chuckles] you're gonna

I thought about it for a couple weeks,

I thought he would look at that and be smart enough to say,

I thought I could trust him.

I thought it was a joke,

I told 'em that right before Thanksgiving,

I told him that I'd love him till the day I died,

I told him that they already knew about the plan to kill Carole Baskin.

I told him where I would build a zoo.

I told Howie it's gonna be 15 minutes.

I told Jeff some things that were in confidence.

I told Joe at least three times Travis was not gay, okay?

I told Joe, "How're you gonna make money?

I told Joe, "You come on this property again, I'll shoot you in the head."

I told Lauren, I said, "You know what? I'm calling James Garretson

I told Lauren, I said, "You know, if he wants to run this zoo,

I took two baby tigers to California.

I used to acquire them from Doc Antle, a friend of mine.

I usually go to Babies "R" Us and buy the preemie clothes.

I waited another day, and then I get a call.

I wanna make this show go.

I want it looked at."

I want to get away from this...

I want to thank you with my whole heart

I want two or three of those roller carts

I wanted 12 months' worth of bank statements

I wanted to operate a family zoo, a nice zoo...

I was 20 when I met Don,

I was a little nervous about it, I'll admit,

I was a manager at Walmart at the time,

I was a sheep, I guess, ripe for the slaughter.

I was back on the park in five days after my amputation.

I was contacted by an FBI agent,

I was executor for both of their wills.

I was given a picture via email

I was gonna tier step it, and then they decided

I was Joe's campaign manager for about a year and half.

I was Joe's right hand man for 16 years.

I was just supposed to small talk with him.

I was like, "Are you out of your fucking mind?"

I was like, "Hell yeah, I'm gonna make a million dollars off this reality show.

I was like, "Hey, Joe, this is my guy.

I was like, "Okay...

I was like, "That's Florida water.

I was like, "You know, what's the job?"

I was nervous that it only takes one holdout

I was paralyzed from the waist down, but I could move a big toe,

I was paying to have all the stuff shipped out there.

I was pretty fucking scatterbrained.

I was seeing behavior in him that just didn't make any sense.

I was sitting in the chair, you know, looking at him

I was speechless. I adored him.

I was surprised that she was actually trying to collect payment.

I was telling him, "Take the motherfucker down.

I was the guy that was right there.

I was the one person Joe feared the most

I was the power of attorney for both of them.

I was thrilled...

I was told by Joe and by Reinke,

I was told that he was pushed out of the plane

I was told to record all conversations with Joe and Jeff.

I was, like, in shock.

I wasn't

I wasn't gonna kill no motherfucking body.

I watched him fire people

I wear those on the end of my Prince Albert.

I went and bought not one, but three Great Danes.

I went and bought not one, but three Great Danes.

I went down to the courthouse

I went to the gift shop and introduced myself, you know,

I went to work for Mario's place.

I went up to my cashier.

I were gonna...  you know, if somebody wanted to kill you,

I will hand her Joe on a silver platter

I will take everything away from you and your family."

I will vacate the jail time.

I wish that helicopter would go away!

I wish there was some way out for me."

I work six days a week, twelve hours days,

I work with a man that also has no legs.

I worked for Don Lewis for ten, 15 years,

I worked there from 1999 until I left in 2007.

I would call the bank in advance,

I would characterize her as reasonably rational.

I would have people come up and go, "I can't believe you work for that guy,

I would just check in with the FBI

I would like closure.

I would like to thank the people from all over the world

I would see him with two or three different ones, you know?

I wouldn't be standing here today doing what I'm doing

I wouldn't even went to fucking Florida on a vacation.

I wouldn't have went and killed that fucking woman for nothin'.

I... have tried all day to hold this together.

I... I deprived them of... of...

I'd be remiss if I said that.

I'd be sitting in there with fucking Joe.

I'd build a zoo down in Thackerville by the WinStar,

I'd call it investigate.

I'd have the vet out here

I'd like to introduce my friend today.

I'd like to introduce my wife,

I'd never get my animals back.

I'd say she found a way out, wouldn't you?

I'd settled on a title of Joe Exotic, Tiger King

I'll do anything to just rest.

I'll do your little piddly ass internet show."

I'll find somebody that needs ten grand.

I'll give it to her. I'll give it to her.

I'll give you everything  if you come over here and marry me."

I'll just stop using their name."

I'll kill every one of these motherfuckers."

I'll make this up to you. I promise.

I'm 19 years old, and I am from Southern California,

I'm 52 years old.

I'm a good boy, and that's not my arena.

I'm actually an intern.

I'm almost positive that's why the Feds are sniffing around.

I'm as gay as a three dollar bill,

I'm being treated like that in here.

I'm bringing two or three million dollars' worth of equipment

I'm doing different things now.

I'm done with this "he said, she said" stuff.

I'm dying to talk to them and tell them what I know.

I'm embarrassed to tell people when they say, "What do you do?"

I'm giving him five.

I'm glad to see him finally in his final spot.

I'm going to hire a $3,000 crackhead to kill her?

I'm gonna get the curls out, 'cause that's my sex appeal.

I'm gonna go be a... yoga animal trainer.

I'm gonna have the bitch's head in a jar.

I'm gonna shoot you right between the fucking eyes, bitch.

I'm gonna show you some stuff

I'm gonna stay on your ass so hard...

I'm involved in a federal murder for hire plot.

I'm Joe Exotic,

I'm just saying this from hearsay because I don't know for a fact.

I'm just tired. Very tired.

I'm like, "Really?"

I'm like, "There's been a credible threat all this time.

I'm like, "What the fuck?"

I'm like, "Who is this?"

I'm like, uh... no.

I'm never gonna financially recover from this.

I'm not changing the way I dress.

I'm not fucking around.

I'm not stupid.

I'm not sure. We'll see what happens.

I'm not the only one that was there to testify,

I'm not trying to pat myself on the back  or anything, but I'm glad I was here.

I'm outspoken, good looking.

I'm ready. I don't want to cut y'all short.

I'm running for governor.

I'm saying if you have information

I'm sorry.

I'm still here talking to you.

I'm sure he wouldn't just stand there and do nothing.

I'm sure in the judge's eyes it was hearsay,

I'm sure Joe knew more than what he was telling me.

I'm surprised he didn't want to do it himself.

I'm telling you, I can't eat, I don't sleep.

I'm telling you, man. It's worse than what you can ever treat an animal.

I'm the one in the bunny suit.

I'm the one that got Jeff the deal.

I'm thinking, "At what point is he close enough

I'm Tony Montana! You fuck with me,  you fucking with the best!

I'm up all night long.

I'm waitin' for 'em to catch Carole Baskin in this

I'm... in a downtown area of Oklahoma City.

I've always been the Tiger King!"

I've always been worried about you being a spy. Run!

I've asked forever, but I still don't know.

I've been cooking all night.

I've been living here on the zoo and living and working,

I've been sleeping with the girl at the front desk,

I've dealt with Joe for 14 years at that zoo.

I've even said it before. I wish the bitch were dead.

I've got a list of 37 names. I can shut 'em all down.

I've got her diary.

I've got it all.

I've got some big hands.

I've got three felons that want my zoo.

I've got to completely start my life all over again.

I've had many other encounters with the police,

I've had so many calls.

I've never been more proud of being married to anyone

I've seen a few fights.

If anything happens to me, give it to the police."

If Carole was dead.

If he hits the giant size, then he's gonna be 900 plus pounds,

If he was serious or wasn't serious half the time.

If he was truly wanting to disappear and nobody know where he was at,

If he went, he wanted him back the same day.

If I had to say it, probably ten percent.

If I knew it was gonna be this easy,

If I stayed in that hospital, the media wins.

If I win and get out,

If it hadn't been for all of those... things

If it is tied to any animal rights organization,

If it wasn't a daily basis, it was definitely every week.

If it's not through what I do?"

If John Finlay went to visit his brother  in Texas, or anything like that,

If Mr. Glover was leaving to commit this murder,

If my dad had anything, that would have been it.

If not, you will serve the 179 days.

If not, you will serve the 179 days.

If people are concerned about tigers,

If she hears any kind of, like, motorized sound, has seizures

If they could have the cats down there,  he would've been free to breed them.

If they wanted it, they got it.

If they wanted to...

If this is all they have, and it's decent,

If you can't keep them in the wild

If you do that, at the end of the year,

If you get all your classes done, you can apply for yellow shirt.

If you go to Walmart and you put a brisket in your basket

If you have a problem with me,

If you have a sick tiger or a lion that needs to be put to sleep,

If you just say the last name Schreibvogel,

If you'll go ahead and run my studio."

If you're gonna bring in one, why bring in one

If you're gonna ride here,

If you've ever seen a Butcher Boy meat grinder,

If you've got the money,

In 2017,

In a community that thinks you killed your husband.

In a gas chamber...

In a gas chamber...

In a way that we just can't.

In cash. I'm not saying she did it.

In exchange to work at the Burger Barn?

In Garvin county over it.

In her family, there just wasn't a lot of love for Don.

In my family, they were fundamental Christians

In my office in a box underneath my desk.

In my political career running for governor of the state of Oklahoma

In October of 2017.

In one of them trailers out there at the park

In order to fuck with her.

In order to make good quality pets from them.

In order to rebuild this great G.W. Exotic Animal Alligator Facility

In plotting this whole plan to kill Carole?

In such a sick and perverted relationship."

In the animal industry.

In the big cat trade go down with him.

In the case of Don Lewis, the call came in as a typical missing adult.

In the hopes that with law enforcement taking this serious and going after it,

In the industry.

In the matter of Big Cat Rescue Corp. versus Big Cat Rescue Entertainment.

In the middle of the night.

In the way that they get out there ahead of us

In their natural habitats.

In this morning's segment, we would go into Joe's bedroom,

In this way, where he felt like he could get them to do anything.

In Travis's case, he was addicted to meth.

In with the tigers?

Include Erik Cowie.

Indicating that there was, in fact, a plot coming together.

Indoor swimming pool in the house and everything.

Initially on a missing person investigation,

Innocent until proven guilty.

Inside Edition came to talk to us, and Hard Copy I believe wanted to.

Instead of being in a tiger cage today,

Into the same bullshit?

Into... labor camps.

Invited me to the wedding.

Is allowed to be above the laws of the United States.

Is America ready for the first redneck,

Is because they see me as a threat

Is behind a lot of this

Is Don really under the septic tank?

Is ending today!

Is good enough for a conviction.

Is he coming back?

Is he trying to make me blow my top?

Is if you come back and help these guys,"

Is Joe had already picked Allen Glover for the hit.

Is Joe nervous about that? I don't know. I mean...

Is just come and tell them exactly what the fuck happened.

Is that normal verbiage?

Is that setting them up?

Is this a reflection of what's not getting done right

Is to get himself out of trouble, if he's involved.

Is what he was worth.

Is what the workers were told to say.

Is when all hell broke loose.

Is when he asked me if I wanted to put the zoo into my name,

Is you've gotta tell me, like,

It actually I think it hurt us more than anything else.

It became the largest menagerie of animals on Earth

It can be 120 degrees in there at night.

It can't go back, it goes to the trash.

It cost me 12 years of my life.

It did Not just me. Anybody.

It doesn't show anything.

It doesn't show stalking, it doesn't show battery,

It gave him a lot of really bad ideas.

It has this primordial calligraphy

It is It is

It is huge. Do!

It is literally a wire jungle in a mess of trees.

It is your obligation, it is your responsibility

It just makes for wonderful sales of newspapers, I'm sure...

It just opened up so many cans of worms for Joe.

It just played its toll on my marriage.

It never happened.

It pays to have buckets with straw in it, so they can't get out.

It pulls up Big Cat Rescue in Tampa, Florida.

It seems like everybody starts out well with me and then it ends bad.

It shows a verbal argument,

It sounded like a utopia.

It sounded like someone had broken through the screen,

It sounds insane, it sounds intense and whatever,

It still costs 60,000 to 70,000 dollars a month just to feed all these animals.

It takes about almost a year to get your yellow,

It was a conference call between Joe, Howard Baskin, and the attorneys.

It was a day where she was riding her bicycle down a bicycle path,

It was a set fire.

It was a source of entertainment.

It was a tiger mauling in Wynnewood, Oklahoma.

It was a total of seven days in the hospital.

It was about fucking him over.

It was about that tall, you know, little metallic base with a short antenna.

It was all about outrage.  Get as much views as possible.

It was almost strategic

It was awesome. It was awesome.

It was full of cockroaches.

It was going to happen.

It was gone.

It was horrible. Horrible, horrible.

It was in an envelope, and he said,

It was in the ground, it was operational,

It was in the works that I was going to be sued at the same time.

It was just like I had just completely zoned out.

It was just... "Christ Almighty, what has Joe gotten into?"

It was like lighting a firecracker.

It was like the Hatfield and McCoy.

It was like, "That's my retirement that just burned, okay?

It was like, I'll do anything

It was like, I'm gonna It's like you can't eat chocolate, but now you can.

It was like, my whole life I've just overthank everything, you know?

It was more like...

It was nothing but a big scam.

It was one of those things I couldn't think about.

It was out of the cash register on Jeff's orders

It was out of the cash register on Jeff's orders

It was part of the government's evidence

It was pitch black outside.

It was right after that I told James

It was starting to really fuck me up in the head.

It was supposed to be a 50/50 business.

It was the only way to muffle it.

It was the scariest moment of my life.

It wasn't about the animals anymore.

It wasn't the zoo's fault.

It will be a cold day in hell before you beat me.

It will be better to have a fresh start.

It will be nice.

It will be the slickest thing I ever did in my life."

It will be the slickest thing I ever did in my life."

It will cover all of those states,

It won't be no bullshit.

It would have netted him quite a bit of money.

It woulda went this far without somebody pushing.

It's 20 years ago. Cold case, 20 year old murders don't get solved."

It's a collaboration between two of the most notorious assholes

It's a goddamn tragedy, because Joe was set up.

It's a grind like everything else.

It's a refuge for unusual creatures...

It's a tragedy.

It's about that big around.

It's all about "look at me."

It's all Jeff Lowe,

It's an unbelievable, unprecedented,

It's been great running against you. You've done a tremendous job,

It's Carole from Big Cat Rescue.

It's fucked up, the way things happened, but it happened out for the best.

It's funny, he grew up to be a sheriff's deputy,

It's gonna be kind of hard to sleep with, if he gets life in prison or something.

It's gonna be the animal rights people...

It's gonna be the best that our money can afford.

It's gonna be... You know, hey,

It's got crappy little decorations we bought at a store,

It's impossible with the size and types of planes that Don had,

It's in the fate of 12 strangers though,

It's just a crazy little comedy  between exotic animal owners.

It's just not in the cards.

It's just something I like.

It's just they're mostly focused on animals, not people.

It's just to get it in there.

It's just two complete opposite, different worlds.

It's kept me sober and not drinking.

It's kind of a witch hunt because

It's like, "Oh, she's got a little spunk in her, too!"

It's lunch.

It's money, money, money, money, money.

It's more entertainment.

It's not for prime time.

It's okay.

It's pretty ironic.

It's sad.

It's so unique.

It's so wild, it must not be true.

It's the all knowing, all seeing kind of guy.

It's the worst thing ever in my whole life.

It's time that somebody as broke as me and you get in there.

It's what you're gonna wake up doing, it's what you're gonna go to sleep doing,

It's your fault.

James and I would go off into the dark spots of the park

James brought the FBI,

James Garretson is right involved in this damn deal with Joe,

James is the mastermind behind illegal credit cards.

Jeff and Lauren pulled together the morning meeting

Jeff and Tim are at war

Jeff Lowe already owned the zoo.

Jeff Lowe claims Joe's doing all this illegal stuff.

Jeff Lowe didn't really care who he screwed.

Jeff Lowe fired half the staff when he walked through the door,

Jeff Lowe is a felon.

Jeff Lowe stole the zoo.

Jeff proceeded to try and circumvent Joe's opportunity authority

Jeff said, "I'll give you money and a place to live and whatnot,"

Jeff saw... an opportunity,

Jeff was dealing with all the problems in Vegas.

Jeff was the star of his show,

Jeff would be indicted if it wasn't for me

Jesus' name, Amen.

Joe believed that if he just

Joe brought it up several times.

Joe came to me one day.

Joe changed when Travis shot himself.

Joe drained them dry.

Joe Exotic

Joe Exotic for the people of America. How was that?

Joe Exotic haunted place.

Joe Exotic is how many people know him.

Joe Exotic is truly the candidate

Joe Exotic makes good TV. He makes good news.

Joe Exotic will make just as good a governor as we ever had.

Joe Exotic's murder for hire trial is now in its second day.

Joe fell in love with the premise.

Joe got a big head.

Joe had a judgment placed on him from a lady in Florida.

Joe had been trying, and nobody could get it kicked off.

Joe had gone to Chicago for a funeral,

Joe had so many animals

Joe had some pretty twisted ideas,

Joe had tried for many years to bring other people in,

Joe handed over the keys to the kingdom

Joe immediately is, like,  love struck by this.

Joe is a year older than me.

Joe is in his little office back there. Jeff Lowe is right here,

Joe is the man who started this place...

Joe just wanted to put it in somebody's name,

Joe kept thinking if he changed the name, it would just derail them and derail them.

Joe offered to pay them $5,000 a month.

Joe only cared about one man's opinion,

Joe paid him to go kill Carole.

Joe passed out condoms with his face on them.

Joe probably thought I was loyal to him and I would never turn on him.

Joe told him the man needed the ID

Joe told me several times.

Joe took the stand and that's something that I don't think anyone expected.

Joe used money from the zoo, running for president and governor.

Joe was back at his desk minding his own business.

Joe was gone. Just gone.

Joe was kind of secretive about what was going on.

Joe was locking me out of the online bank accounts.

Joe was the entertainment director...

Joe was the star of the show.

Joe would let them pick out what they wanted first,

Joe, he had a lot of charisma.

Joe, he offered me...

Joe, he turned over what he had to.

Joe, let's have one right at this camera.

Joe... was the star.

Joe's it's over for Joe.

Joe's passed out on the front porch, shaking.

Joe's whole demeanor changed.

JoeExotic.TV returns to the air.

John and Travis were both 19 when they met Joe...

John's a muscled up bully kind of guy.

Joseph Maldonado Passage, perhaps better known as Joe Exotic

Joy, a joy.

Judy had moved into the property before Don ever disappeared,

Just a little, innocent person.

Just because he could.

Just because he knew the camera was rolling.

Just because I stopped by a zoo to feed a bear one day.

Just do what you're supposed to do.

Just grind, grind, grind.

Just in that 12 months

Just never forget I love you."

Just out of the blue he says, "You think Allen can kill somebody?"

Just really bandaged up and in a lot of pain.

Just saving it for a rainy day.

Just spending millions trying to decide

Just to cover his own ass.

Just wow.

Just... 20 years of blood, sweat, and tears, and every dime I had...

Just... all over the place.

KARMA

Keep your friends close but keep your enemies closer.

Keeps me from getting into trouble.

Kind of a "purrfect" afternoon for me if you ask.

Know what I mean? She's been here for years.

Knowing that you will win if you keep going.

Known as Carole.

Ladies and gentlemen, before you hear it on the news, I'm gonna tell you.

Lakshman.

Leave me for a man and we're game on, okay?

Let all the potheads out of jail

Let's check in with our Sylvia Corkill who's live downtown.

Let's free Oklahoma for a change.

Let's get Joe on the set.

Let's go to Sylvia right now for the very latest. Sylvia.

Let's hope this all works out in Oklahoma.

Let's just say  that I've been to 38 different states.

Let's just stop,"

Let's say Easter. See, this is the boys.

Let's see.

Let's strike while this is on the front of everyone's mind.

Let's try that again.

Life was good.

Ligers, all kinds of different animals.

Like a little birdy had told him something's wrong.

Like he didn't finish what he was saying...

Like that story about going to Florida.

Like we had a bond of pain...

Like we had a bond of pain...

Like where he's at. Was he down in Tampa?

Like, every occasion.

Like, he could remember things from way back when he was a kid,

Like, I would go to make a sandwich, my bread would be full of cockroaches

Like, let's just say from the very first time he approached you,

Like, when you Google "big cat rescue,"

Like, who the hell still talks to Joe that would even...

Like, with sliding doors with bars on them.

Like, with what he said to me,

Listen, I just went to the zoo.

Little hearts on the bottom.

Live on the preserve,

Lobster tails and bad ass cuts of beef and shit.

Look at me, I'm holding this cub.

Look at me, I'm petting this tiger.

Look at me, I've got this cat on a leash.

Look at the camera and smile! Over there, babe!

Look at them. They're so cute.

Look into my eyes. No [chuckles]

Look up, it'll be me."

Lot of people make fun of me for it, but you know what...

Made money off of each other.

Magical place where incredible things happen

Maintenance. It's like putting a band aid  on everything every day.

Make a name for themselves.

Make a sweep through the park and make sure there's no other customers

Make more.

Make noise.

Maldonado Passage is being held without bond

Maldonado Passage tells me he has a mountain of evidence

Man, when he saw that footage, he went wild.

Many of whom have stayed on for decades themselves.

Mario Tabraue in Miami has a criminal history.

Mario Tabraue's facilities.

Mario's always treated me with respect,

Marshals impounded multiple semi automatic handguns and rifles.

Max and Marianne the bobcats' enclosure got finished and it looks great.

Maybe he doesn't know where to call home.

Maybe he doesn't know who he is.

Maybe if you have a sheriff that's in there that's saying,

Maybe the sheriff's department would drag their feet at that point and be like,

Maybe this guy just went somewhere and didn't touch base."

Me and Jeff, I mean, we have our quarrels,

Me, and... the flower girl.

Me, Joe, and Travis are in the back of the trailer.

Merry Christmas.

Meth was the main one that we did.

Metro Dade Organized Crime Bureau."

Mic check. Check, check, check.

Millions of people a week are following it.

Mm hmm.

Mm hmm.

Mmm, yeah.

Moksha was named Meredith.

Moksha, the pretty blonde with the big teeth

Mom ran out of money.

Money to go and murder that lady.

More than he wanted anything else in life.

Most of the cats ate well today.

Motherfucker, man.

Mountain lions and one tiger.

Move! Then do it, and I'll run this park the right way.

Mr. Garretson would have knowledge of that.

Mr. Glover was just going back home to South Carolina,

Mr. Passage had moved to a house within Oklahoma

Mutilation, and cremation of a federal drug informant

My biggest thing, and it was...

My dad left.

My email says, "Judge me by the enemies I have made." [laughs]

My feet? My feet? Size 16.

My feet? My feet? Size 16.

My girl China's house is there,

My introduction to Jeff Lowe was, "Hey, Saff, this is our new investor."

My last cigarette before I die.

My lawyer told me,

My life can start over fresh.

My mentor...

My mom had to sign the papers and so did his mother,

My mother was anti pets.

My name is Joseph Maldonado A.K.A Joe Exotic,

My producer

My son being gone.

My understanding was that he was killed.

Nat was a champ and so was Frosty, the serval,

Nearly one million dollars to resolve a trademark infringement lawsuit.

Never have.

Never in my life ever put up with anything like that.

Never saw him again.

Never seen this except for when Travis killed himself.

NEW AT 10:00

Next best thing.

Next thing I know, I had a whole bunch of shit.

Next thing I know, I had a whole bunch of shit.

Next time you're in jail and you're homeless,

No break.

No closure and no redemption for her.

No doubt.

No matter what I really said, just to keep him talking.

No one can keep track of it,  not even an attorney.

No one's got the content unless it came from us these days.

No, I was wrapped up in... in...

No, it actually happened from a zip line accident.

No, it was the cameraman,

No, Joe doesn't have that in him, one bit.

No, no, no. He knew exactly what was going on.

No, won't even be a memory.

No. I'm testifying against him on both.

No. There wasn't a cat out there that could eat 100 pounds of flesh.

Nobody at the park knew about the undercover stuff.

Nobody wins.

Nobody would have ever suspected him

Nobody? [chuckles]

None of that was known to the government until July of 2018.

Not a day of mourning, but a day of celebration

Not a single animal benefited from this war.

Not a single one.

Not eliminate the source.

Not even Jeff Lowe.

Not even the Tiger King,

Not great friends with him, but friendly.

Not like with Joe.

Not like with Joe.

Not me.

Not much.

Not only did he get in trouble for pulling a gun on somebody,

Not only do I own all the reality footage,

Not that he wasn't already planning on leaving,

Not the insurance policy. Was there

Nothing else but work, work, work, work, work.

Nothing has ever shown up on this case whatsoever.

Nothing is cooler, sexier, and more significant

Nothing.

Notice that the "Entertainment" below is a bit faded,

Now Joe Exotic's pissed off.

Now this is the kind of movies we're gonna make here, okay?

Now we gotta go find where the parade is 'cause that's where I gotta

Now we have new owners, and they're awesome.

Now you're thinking, "Could this be the hit man?"

Now, I just got these cool looking legs.

Now, I would like to remind you, Carole,

Now, Joe can be convincing.

Now, you're talking about 40 acres.

Number one, they're endangered species.

Of actually paying,

Of Big Cat Rescue's employees

Of calling to have it burned down.

Of either this suspect or the people that were involved.

Of having a lot of different kinds of animals.

Of hundred dollar bills you had in your warehouse.

Of people that are breeding cubs and selling cubs.

Of people thinking that she fed her husband to the tigers.

Of the social media postings that Mr. Passage had made

Off of me being in jail right now, you're crazier than shit.

Oh yeah, it's good bait to get girls.

Oh yeah, it's good bait to get girls.

Oh, girls!

Oh, hell.

Oh, I was... "Fuck yeah, man, roll the cameras," you know?

Oh, it's a still camera? Somebody get my...

Oh, look at them! They look fucking fabulous.

Oh, look at them! They look fucking fabulous.

Oh, my god, there he is!

Oh, my god.

Oh, no, not a bit. Not a bit.

Oh, now you're gonna

Oh, okay.

Oh, shit.

Oh, thank you for coming.

Oh, that definitely pissed her off. And then it just got worse.

Oh, that's getting the phone to ringing

Oh, this was my favorite tiger ever,

Oh, yeah.

Oh, yes, he's a good boy. Yes, he's a good boy.

Oh, yes, I am.

Okay, don't This is my fucking...

Okay, I can see me walking around Florida with a fucking...

Okay, I thought it was going to be a wedding.

Okay, now we're gonna jump around

Okay, people, stand by.  Fifteen seconds till showtime.

Okay, that's the sign of a successful campaign. Trust me.

Okay, well first of all,

Okay, well, tonight

Okay? Mom dumps

Okay. All right. Okay. All right. Bye.

Oklahoma's poor.

On everybody every minute of the day.

On November 1st of 2004, we got married.

On the movies.

On weed and everything else for Travis and...

Once a tiger gets out of the stage where you can use 'em,

Once that happens, then they say, "Okay, well here's your "

Once we start trying to shut a person down

One air conditioner for the entire thing.

One day, somebody's gonna stub their toe.

One former employee even told jurors...

One hundred and thirty eight dollars and twenty six cents, to be precise.

One of his wives.

One of the main things he told Joe Exotic:

One of them's the Big Cat Safety Act.

Only allegedly, not my business.

Only he's like, "I know where they go."

Only Joe knows the truth, so he's either nervous about that

Open up the snakes,

Or allowing them to talk while you're recording them?

Or asked him for anything.

Or breeding them, or using them as pay to play props.

Or did something more ominous happen to him?

Or do you enjoy watching  the guy with the big one doing her?"

Or else they were going to come in and confiscate all the furniture

Or forgetfulness or any of that crap.

Or he's nervous about getting his ass kicked, I don't know.

Or if I was sittin' there concentrating as hard as I could... on the computer

Or more.

Or something else, he'd come and rub them balls in my face.

Or still around that you can interview.

Or that Mr. Passage should obtain an unregistered pistol from a flea market,

Or whatever close family member that is still surviving

Or where Don's remains are.

Or Wildlife on Easy Street as it was known then,

Other than the lemur I got my ass in a pinch,

Our eventual platform was my platform,

Our investigation never did come to anything definitive.

Our social media these days is just in the millions a week.

Out in the arena while he was filming one of his stupid campaign videos.

Out of the door 50 feet over the Gulf, way out.

Over the counter at any gun shop.

Over time from walking on them, I just ended up losing my feet

Paid by the Park.

Parked the truck and as I'm approaching the main entrance,

Paws will come out of that.

People and animals

People are gonna say I'm a hypocrite."

People like Carole Baskin,

People think I'm crazy,

People used to drive by his house  and scream out, "Tony Montana!"

People want to believe something that's just totally outlandish,

People who were

Perfect, you know?

Playing this shot over and over of him in this throne.

Please, Lord, look out for those...

Police still have no suspects.

Pretty fucking sad.

Pretty much any way they would smuggle illegal drugs,

Probably got more hits talking about him

Probably one of the hardest days of my life.

Probably, because I wanted that sound bite

Promise you. Been here 35 years. Heard it all forever.

Pulled a five dollar bill out of his pocket as a deposit...

Pulling the pins and just dropping them out of the helicopter.

Pulls around again, and I think it was on the third time

Put a bumper sticker on the horse

Put the thing together

Put up your proof, you know, stop talking about it.

Rajnee, the little Italian lady,

Rajnee, when I met her, her name was Renee.

Rather than argue or be accused of stuff,

Ready?

Really, do I have to explain this to somebody?"

Really? My watch?

Red shirts primarily function as, like,

Reinke came in, and these motherfuckers had blown up our, uh...

Reinke doing veterinary work  without a veterinarian.

Relative to most... animal people,

Remember, this is about getting Joe in trouble,

Rick Kirkham promised him he could get it done.

Right next to real life tigers,

Right now I just want you to worry about getting out of there

Right now this is the only one I have, but at times,

Right on.

Right then and there.

Right there in front of everybody else.

Right.

Rubbed his eyes or something. It's all bullshit.

Rumor has it he has a jet.

Rumor has it it will be for something much larger.

Sadly, I hardly ever know who they are

Said she was gonna do a "how to" video.

Sarah Evelyn Lowe...

See a headstone.

See how young he is? [sniffs]

See me face to face

See that cub come out with that camera.

See, I'm smarter than most people.

See?

Seemed to indicate that plot was over.

Seriously elevated this.

Seven of my... crocodilians.

Seven years ago.

Seventy nine years.

Shaktipat with penis.

She ain't going nowhere.

She came and lived with me,  has been staying there ever since.

She can make all these people think

She can take everything away from me.

She couldn't be the only one in his life.

She didn't want to take the cats and go there.

She even got your big daddy cigar, looky there.

She goes after them with her millions,

She goes, "That's all I know. I don't know any more."

She goes, "You all okay over there?" I said, "Yeah, why?" She goes...

She had called me up and asked about raising baby animals,

She had to result into financially draining us.

She has a .45 revolver and she took my .357 and hid it."

She has a lot of answering to do.

She has this black cloud over her head

She is not a stupid woman.

She is not a stupid woman.

She knows.

She lives in that house. And then Moksha is on the front,

She makes everybody else do her dirty work.

She must have been asking for it in some way.

She offered him $20,000.

She rides this entire bike trail and there's nobody around."

She rode the first wave of social media.

She says she and her husband have endured for years.

She says, "Do you think I should call the police?"

She says, "We want $5,000 a month,

She says, "We'll get something done. Are you willing to testify against them?"

She spent, I'm sure, a lot of time setting the stage

She sued me also, just 'cause I was at the zoo.

She sued me for copyright.

She sure is.

She tells us that witness got emotional today.

She told me, she says,

She took out a lot of good things for herself

She took the semitruck, and she took the tour bus,

She wanted everything in assets.

She wanted my mom and dad's house as collateral.

She wanted to go somewhere and be somebody,

She was feeling boxed in by Don's notorious cheating.

She was in the courtroom as the verdict against Joe Exotic was read.

She was just fascinated by his shoes that day.

She was very ambitious.

She watched out for his best interests, he watched her back.

She went to confront him

She would have been left with really nothing.

She would have lost everything down to the house and a car.

She would have lost the cats,

She's an angel sent straight from hell, and one day, you'll find out."

She's at the top of all search.

She's been living here and taking care of my stuff.

She's going on 16 years of living here and taking care of all that stuff.

She's got a missing husband that's supposedly buried in her property.

She's setting the stage for...

She's the first choice every time, supersedes all the zoos.

Sheriff's department's got everything shut down.

Sheriff's office wouldn't do it.

Shitloads of money to dump in Jeff's lap,

Shows the bike path right by Big Cat Rescue and stuff.

Since he's been missing five years,

Since she was 17 years old,

Sitting here with Jeff Lowe. We have had a fun day. We went...

Sixteen, 18 hour days, seven days a week.

Slaughtered a horse,

Slit his fucking throat and leave him laid."

Smile, give a big smile. There you go.

So about the same time that the FBI was waiting on Joe,

So back in 2017, Joe was just running for office.

So basically what happened is Jeff Lowe helped...

So Carole had him declared legally dead

So Carole would have to start the lawsuits all over again.

So Christmas could be a bummer for some people?

So did helping Joe.

So essentially, it's...

So he can tell his side of the story.

So he come up with all this undercover stuff

So he could drive to Florida to kill Carole Baskin.

So he could get the hell outta there

So he could pick up animals in the middle of the night.

So he could take the glory.

So he had to breed.

So he never flew legitimately again.

So he thought he was a celebrity from that point on.

So he was copying that.

So he'll either pull me through this or...

So how would I have then put him in the septic tank?

So I believe him.

So I feel obligated that I need to make sure that he's safe and secure.

So I just I left my wife.

So I just had to walk away from them.

So I just pretend they're all big cats. [laughs]

So I knew...

So I left it in place.

So I live on my own now.

So I offered Tim Stark a partnership.

So I picked up the gun, held it on him,

So I really appreciate the fact that none of these people like me.

So I think one of their main problems was

So I told the FBI Glover was gonna actually do it.

So I took it on myself to learn how to walk.

So I took that and I ran.

So I wanted to see where she's hiding the other 100 big cats.

So I was 20 when I met him.

So I was like,  "I'll take him up on his offer."

So I was literally walking on bone.

So I would definitely just hug him as tight as I could.

So I'm glad that Tim's down here.

So interwound with him for years and years and years and years.

So it was a big shit show.

So it's closer to the Texas border.

So Jeff Lowe decided, "Hey, let's meet at Applebee's."

So Jeff Lowe knew more about the schematics than anything.

So Joe calls me up. "Allen was telling me..."

So let's just shut all the troublemakers down.

So Mr. Passage attacked back.

So much as the one that's quiet.

So much money, so much everything.

So my hand was still a functioning hand at the time,

So my shirt's ruined.

So on the social media...

So that they could put me into the back of a car

So that'd be really good.

So that's what we did.

So the whole world's wondering,

So there's this concept where a guru will touch you

So they all getting half buckets?

So they're like, "Well, if I say this is cruel,

So this is all just a waste of time.

So we all thought they backed off the plan.

So we burned him.

So we dubbed him "the Godfather."

So we never had much of a relationship.

So we went to this little airport outside of Tampa

So we were a great team.

So we'd snuck back and went to the bank.

So we're building a new zoo.

So we're taking the trash trailer down one day. John's driving the truck.

So when he runs out of cons, he's gotta steal from people.

So when I got out of my house, the first thing I did was

So when I'm told, "Well there's a credible threat now,"

So which one was gonna rule this world?

So you don't even see it.

So you guys are actually moving locations here pretty soon, right?

So you guys have known each other a long time.

So you put them on your fucking front and you can still get shit done.

So you want to see them walk around? You want to lay on that couch with them?

So, everybody that had been involved all got drug into court.

So, he took a few cubs out to Vegas.

So, he took a few cubs out to Vegas.

So, he'd done that to me again in that office that morning

So, hey, Jeff.

So, I said, "Let's go lease this spot right on Las Vegas Boulevard,

So, I signed up to be a confidential informant.

So, I wanna give my evidence to PETA.

So, Jeff got a cashier's check for $35,000.

So, the case is still open.

So, the Feds were watching him.

So, there were four or five issues like that

So, they're holding these rabbits with blood on their noses,

So, we met this guy named James Garretson

So, you know, that kind of stuff, you're just like, "Ugh...

Sold 'em Scrappy, was his name.

Solely for the purpose of getting his money.

Some mistakes were made

Some of the items within this fire

Some of the places  that the cubs have actually went to,

Some recorded phone calls and conversations

Some sort of, well, you know...

Somebody like Joe just goes crazy.

Somebody take a shot from the bushes, and get her right there."

Somehow or another it concentrates in your teeth.

Something the cat wants to eat, not something the cat wants to drool on.

Sometimes he'd wake you up pointing the gun at you.

Sometimes they say that I'm the prototype for Scarface.

Somewhere else in the park, please.

Sounded like a good idea at the time.

Stick bags of cocaine inside of them, stitch them back up.

Still loyal, still working, still loving these cats.

Stop defending him in his lawsuit

Such a sweetheart.

Sucking ass to the politicians.

Supposed to get $5,000, but he only got three.

Supposedly since he has a teardrop tattoo,

Supposedly, I guess he hired...

Sweet money right here, buddy.

Tabraue is also accused of covering up  the murder,

Take it up with me, like a man.

Take that home.

Takes place by  a great, big, cohesive family unit.

TAMPA, FLORIDA

Tannerite, which is something you can shoot and it explodes.

Tell them if I have to come in there one more time

Telling the truth.

Than he actually...

Than if you were busted for smuggling drugs.

Than really than content of everyone else who was running.

Thanks to Carole Baskin for dragging us all out of bed this morning

Thanksgiving day...

That ain't buying cubs when they don't have 'em.

That ain't even funny.

That are running.

That are speculating and don't have anything to back it up

That became, like, this wholly exciting thing,

That believed if a woman was involved in something like that,

That building, where the alligators were kept,

That Carole knows more than what she's telling.

That definitely was a champagne and Brie evening.

That detectives were starting to look at the possibility

That Doc Antle euthanizes his cubs when he's done with them.

That everybody else in society are abusers but her.

That everybody's trying to take my zoo,

That had expired to feed the animals.

That has an exotic cat,

That have done just as bad things?

That have happened over the course of my life.

That he actually came to Florida...

That he could get a divorce without losing everything,

That he had amassed the wealth that he had.

That he had filed for.

That he had given him a cellphone with photos of Carole Baskin.

That he had with Carole Baskin.

That he has few visitors in the winter.

That he needed me to have Kenny get a truck ready

That he sold them to a lot of these little animal parks

That he wanted a divorce.

That he wanted to go to the strip bar with us,

That he was divorcing her,

That he was in Belize and that he was not where he was.

That he was never allowed to leave the park.

That held information that we were seeking.

That I could make music videos and shit about.

That I felt like the best thing to do was get right back to work...

That I know of, that he could nonstop go from here to Costa Rica.

That I make from scratch.

That I ran him through that grinder, and it's like,

That I should just turn this gas nozzle into his face?"

That I was willing to accommodate.

That I've got pictures of. I've got pictures of perfect angels.

That if someone were to kill me,

That is how sick and tired of this shit I am.

That is not something he would do unless he was at his wits' end...

That is the truth of the matter.

That is totally irrational.

That it could take some time in order for the jury to come back

That it would be worth it.

That Jeff had a hit out on him,

That Joe didn't have the resources to make.

That Joe started the zoo for good purposes, good reasons.

That leads to her arrest, not even conviction, just her arrest.

That lived across the street from me when I was 14.

That means a minute to me.

That means no illegal activity.

That means no illegal activity.

That morning that it burnt down.

That Mr. Passage actually obtained any of the phones or the pistol,

That Mr. Passage should buy some burner phones,

That new power of attorney gave her control over the estate.

That one of Joe's tacks that he would take against me

That our state ever knew.

That person gives them whatever sexual or any other favors they want.

That poor woman is having to live under a cloud of suspicion all this time.

That really haven't had the opportunity yet

That referenced Miss Baskin in a violent way:

That settlement agreement is so far from acceptable.

That she could make money off of,

That she was one of the worst people he had ever met in his life,

That sounds great.

That stays on 24 hours a day,  and then his ash box.

That tells a message just in its very image.

That that looked like Alzheimer's to him.

That the day before Allen left,

That the detectives would have pursued that and made sure that...

That the way he would get back at us...

That these two people were gonna come in here and make things better.

That they are saying the things that they're saying

That they are very happy...

That they should pursue that area any further.

That they supposedly deserve, that doesn't exist anymore,

That they were so enamored with.

That they would use to dispose of a body,

That they'll actually search out some of those connections

That they're getting to do something they like,

That was a big fucking mistake.

That was a deal breaker.

That was because I was the only one smart enough

That was gonna be the nail in the coffin...

That was like a turning point for me there.

That was obviously new information,

That was supposed to have been private, all of us had to go outside the office.

That was the last day that Joe was allowed in the park.

That was the last thing that Don Lewis ever said to me...

That was the nice one.

That was unexplainable at that point in time.

That we had... foul play or something

That we just dissolve the Garold Wayne Interactive Zoo company

That we showed the jury a variety

That went into this investigation.

That were believed to be associated with Mr. Passage,

That were ready to...

That when you feed them a whole turkey,

That will prove he was framed.

That will put that right in your head.

That would be nice..

That would get pleasure out of hurting a rabbit.

That would have been the impetus to storm the park,

That would point at one particular individual.

That you are the one who spent 94,000 dollars

That you're gonna end up in jail for fraud before this is over with.

That you're winning battle after battle after battle,

That... that was my recollection.

That's a bad business decision, because, you know,

That's a real true story.

That's all bull.

That's all Travis had in his life.

That's all we've got.

That's another thing. I had to buy pants.

That's Doc Antle in my office.

That's every phone call. "Mom, I need some money for this."

That's fucking heavy.

That's how fast word travels down here.

That's how I met him.

That's how we take care of ISIS right there, buddy.

That's illegal!

That's me personally, but

That's my dream job. I'm going to take it.

That's my wife and me.  This is Doc Antle's place, T.I.G.E.R.S.

That's news for me.

That's not a problem.

That's not enjoyable to look at?

That's not even funny.

That's not my fault!

That's our sign up front with him posing in front of it

That's Panhandle water."

That's the first thing people think: "Oh, come on, that can't be true.

That's the relationship Joe had with Travis.

That's what makes no sense to all this.

That's when he disowned them. And so he said to nullify their trust,

That's when we got the thing from Carole to stop.

That's where I gotta do the news thing real quick.

That's why I know it was denied.

That's why I think the fire of the alligator habitat was a scam

That's why they came up with the other 20 silly ass charges.

The 55 year old introduced himself to the jury saying,

The abuse of animals that's going on behind the scenes

The animal world.

The appointments were made and they had decided,

The attention?

The attraction for Don in Costa Rica

The bankruptcy trustee went after her.

The best thing he's done, it's worth just bringing up:

The big home there in the front.

The blast was so big that it blew the doors open.

The blonde lady running the stuff here.

The cable, you know, cable bills.

The cats were my responsibility, no matter who owns that zoo.

The conversation that had occurred with Mr. Glover

The cops came because the alarm went off.

The cops never looked at the van when it was at the airport..

The detectives walked the property and drove the proper

The evil side of Jeff and Lauren came out.

The FBI for the many months of incredibly hard work

The FBI was involved, I went,

The federal prosecutors don't wanna bring a case

The Feds had me call Allen

The Feds want you, they're gonna get you.

The feeling of power being around these animals.

The fence ripped the skin off the bone.

The first thing they do is they whip out those pictures.

The first thing they'll say is, "I love your videos!"

The first time I ever met First time I went to Doc's place,

The first time I met and discussed the whole murder for hire,

The first time, to make you squirm around on the ground.

The first, and then they would be bonded to him

The following year, 22 more bobcats and lynx.

The following year, we bought 56 bobcats and lynx from a fur farm.

The four wheelers he bought John Finlay

The fucking staff tried to get me killed in a cage.

The G.W. Exotic Park has over 70 big cats in their park.

The gay, gun carrying redneck with a mullet.

The ghost of Joe walks this place.

The guns he bought John Finlay,

The guy with the little one doing her,

The guy's delusional.

The husband or the wife

The investigation indicated Carole had left Wildlife on Easy Street

The judge gave me 100 years,

The jury came back, finding Joseph Maldonado Passage

The lady who runs Big Cat Rescue, who seems, in my opinion

The last thing he said to me was

The last time I probably seen it was 1996.

The local biker clubs all came and helped me build this memorial.

The long term plan, according to the investigation,

The man is just a walking Chucky doll, dude.

The man known to many Oklahomans as Joe Exotic

The man's going to die in jail.

The mix of all that together takes this poor dolt

The more he realized that he needed to work the name.

The murder for hire, I don't think

The murder for hire...

The music video, "Here Kitty Kitty," about Carole killing her husband.

The next governor of Oklahoma.

The next year, 28 bobcats and lynx.

THE NOBLE THING TO DO

The one lawsuit was about the rabbit photo

The one thing that a 19 year old guy wants to do is party,

The only problem is it's all a fraud.

The only silver lining to it is

The only thing that went wrong was when someone would call me and say,

The ownership of money and property

The park isn't gonna fund your political campaign,

The remaining counts are all related to the sale of tiger and lion cubs.

The reputation of this zoo will be just dragged through the mud

The second deputy gave her a ride back to her home.

The snow leopard eyes was, at that time, the masthead on our website,

The state needs to pass laws that this breeding has got to stop.

The state needs to pass laws that this breeding has got to stop.

The studio.

The surgeon came in and said,

The third animal was a guy killed by the lions,

The Tiger King in jail, in a cage.

The trailers, the water bill, the electric bill,

The very first time was when he beat up

The washing machine didn't work.

The water didn't run in the bathroom.

The way Don would have worked,

The way he had them women trained.

The weeds are shoulder high.

The well known 55 year old former zoo owner

The white one I named Travis,

The whole dynamic of the park changed.

The whole idea was to keep baby tigers being born.

The whole time he's approaching me

The will wouldn't have come into play because if you disappear,

The woman's just obsessed with me.

The word "hi" in clouds has floated by

Their name, Shirley's name is on everything.

Their soul dies.

Their very first tiger in 1995.

Then another beer, and then several more beers

Then I didn't hear anything from him again.

Then I went to a pet shop selling a cougar. I bought a cougar

Then in September, the witness said...

Then it was legal. That was my second animal.

Then they would put, like... sardine oil all over you.

Then you can apply to be a green shirt. You have to have a minimum of two years.

Then you have to have your yellow for a full year.

Then you'll say, "Jesus fucking Christ, why are you in jail?"

Then, after three or four days, we found his van abandoned at an airport.

Then, I got a tiger from a lady that had it in a houseboat illegally.

There is a god...

There is absolutely no physical evidence at this point in time

There was $5,000 exchanged in Branson, Missouri.

There was a lot of threats thrown around, and I just

There was a noise out on our porch,

There was a truck that picked up meat from all these Walmarts in the area

There was no counting machines.

There was no flight filed. Nothing.

There was no record of any take off of an airplane,

There was no way for me to stop it.

There was nothing left.

There was nothing... out of the ordinary about that.

There was nothing... that the cops could do

There was people sitting on his side, but there was, like, nobody there...

There was something so odd about the man,

There were aerial searches done... but found nothing.

There were always multiple litters

There were four mobile homes inside the zoo.

There were no more fur farms in the US that were killing bobcats and lynx.

There were two wills, and there were two power of attorney

There you go.

There'd be a body, there'd be blood, there'd be this, there'd be that.

There'd be a skeleton. There'd be bones. There'd be something.

There's a bunch of rats in the neighborhood.

There's a lot of glad handing, there's a lot of baby kissing.

There's a lot of stories about Carole having some finger in it...

There's a motive behind their madness, I promise you.

There's a new home for exotic animals that's opening up.

There's a septic tank underneath it that he was put in that.

There's a towel in my car. Go get it!

There's all of us. The family.

There's always been a rumor out there

There's independent write in candidate Joe Exotic,

There's more information about them,

There's names, you know: sexaholic.

There's no bones that come out, okay? It's gone.

There's no clip in it. You know a Ruger won't fire without a clip."

There's no way that I can finally say,

There's nothing at all to indicate that Don left his van there

There's nothing I'm gonna say or do that's gonna change that.

There's nothing that I really want to say to any of these people.

There's only two options.

There's something very addicting about

There's two laws that they're introducing into Congress this year to try and pass.

There's your Doc Antle, look.

These are apprentices that come on generally as teenagers,

These handouts with the photograph,

These people can get everything that they want introduced into law?

These were all things that I was already into.

They actually built this...

They all got what they wanted.

They already told me

They bought, sold, bred big cats for years.

They can graduate to a master keeper.

They can't track me. They can't do nothing.

They cannot be trusted.

They caught him sneaking cubs into the hotels and shit.

They come banging on my door with the sheriff

They could arrest him.

They did say Carole was the prime suspect at the time,

They didn't want him to get down there and kill Carole

They discussed in detail:

They don't care who you are or what you've done in your past.

They don't care who you are or what you've done in your past.

They felt there was an effort by Joe to kill Carole.

They flew their private plane up to Shelbyville,

They get so big so fast.

They get used to making all the rules.

They go at each other.

They got me on tape.

They got rid of everything... that he owned.

They gotta be a pretty sick person.

They had a call inside the office.

They had the talk, and then they negotiated the price,

They had to wait.

They have no family, nowhere to go, and now they're on the side of the road."

They have the people who were closest to him,

They just take a deep breath and look at you.

They kept giving her a perfect inspection where we couldn't get one.

They knew everybody involved.

They like to have sex with other women at the same time.

They look fucking fabulous. Scoot closer to Gina.

They might have shut me up for just a little while,

They put cologne on my shoes.

They record everything.

They said it is far from over.

They said that Joe had shot five tigers, and they dug them up...

They said, "Well, that isn't good enough."

They said, you know, I'm probably going to get a charge.

They sat in cages next to each other

They say you can't get nothing done with a monkey on your back,

They should be charged with perjury.

They should be donating their money

They should sleep with him.

They spent investigating Joe.

They started out by going to the exotic animal auctions.

They stood up and said that they didn't want him to testify.

They superseded my indictment with all these stupid wildlife charges

They tell me you want my goddamn bed too.

They thought they had Joe against the ropes because he was broke.

They trumped up all the wildlife charges to put pressure on Joe

They use me as a poster child.

They use the tigers to entice 'em in.

They want to meet with me and make sure that what I have to tell them

They want to use those cats to elevate their status.

They went there and took my story like three different times

They went through

They were all taken out of the office that day.

They were like golden nuggets to that boy.

They were virgins or close to virgins.

They will keep the case open until they have proof.

They will look at a person who is in desperate, dire need of something.

They will not send a helicopter until the ambulance gets here.

They would do the same with the animals...

They would have to fucking promise me not to fucking lock my ass up for that.

They'll just stick you in the back.

They'll work hard enough to keep it.

They're abusing the animals there as well.

They're being held by a thousand, like, social ties

They're gonna do the same thing with me.

They're just all crooked, you know?

They're just like... [moans, laughs]

They're not gonna bite you. They're just babies, so.

They're not mine. I don't have to, like, raise them, do I?

They're nothing more than a bill then.

They're the very people who are testifying against him.

They've already done it,

They've been cooperating with the feds

They've done so many transfers and quick claim deeds, you can't

Things are sent to you or people are sent to you or whatever,

Things have to happen like transfer of money.

Things were all right, I guess,

Think of how far that could go saving these tigers

Think of that. It has to be millions of dollars. It has to be.

Think of the hundreds of thousands

Think of what millions of followers, donors and whatnot...

This book is Doc Antle, actually, Bhagavan Doc Antle.

This bus is not mine.

This continued all through Saturday, all through Sunday.

This file cabinet...

This gun right here, Joe bought for me.

This guy went down there to fucking murder a lady.

This here is Mario's office.

This here's this picture of this gooey thing

This is a private property. You actually have to have permission, sir.

This is a sweeping federal bill.

This is Joe Exotic's episode of "Eaten Alive."

This is Joe's park.

This is me when I first got there.

This is my way of living

This is one of my stranger interviews.

This is probably gonna get me in trouble, but... we just eat off the meat truck.

This is the current legal stuff...

This is the guy who will whack Carole for you."

This is the VHS that she made back in the day.

This is the videotape deposition of Joe...

This is things he has collected through the years.

This is what I do right here, drive around and listen to myself singing.

This is what I got sued over.

This is where they're gonna stay.

This is, you know, the military.

This low flying buzzing over the sanctuary,

This man has got more criminal shit going on than you can imagine.

This seems entirely un American, entirely unconstitutional to me.

This the same man that sold me a stolen Hummer...

This was just another day for me, um, to overcome.

This was right before he came to Oklahoma.

This wasn't her photo, either.

This... well, I always don't say they're ligers,

Those are my four girls.

Those are our conversations every day, three times a day.

Those are the people that worry me.

Those cars are not mine.

Those people feel like they can't talk about it

Those two...

Those who do things in a certain way,

Though he just don't like people.

Three large officers kneel on my back

Three, two, one.

Through Joe, who I trusted.

Throughout this tape, we'll show you  how we take them from the mother,

Throwing people out, accusing them of being spies and stuff.

Tiger attack, blah, blah, blah.

TIRED OF THIS SHIT.

To be completely out of her gourd,

To be induced to give birth to

To bring all of these charges at the same time.

To bring Joe Exotic TV back to the air.

To bring up the picture on Google Earth and show it to Travis.

To build a lot of relationships

To buy animals to fill your so called sanctuary.

To celebrate the life of Travis Michael Maldonado.

To do it with the rocks and concrete,

To drive to a nearby store named Albertsons

To even look in the van.

To get all that shit on tape.

To get her picture with a cute little dangerous animal,

To get in the place to find out what was going on.

To get me and my husband out of the mess we were in with this attorney.

To get some order going on,

To give it to Allen.

To give to the authorities to convict him

To have killed her own husband, potentially.

To heal from that,

To help ping all that stuff together

To keep him from waking up and realizing this isn't a life to live.

To kill them...

To kind of set things right.

To live with people

To love and respect each other, it would be you.

To lower the food cost.

To make a point.

To make it a hung jury.

To make it look like he did.

To make sure it was fuckin' accurate

To maybe destroy some evidence.

To me, it appears he was set up each step of the way.

To only raise $45,000?

To only use their very closest circle of people that they've got good dirt on

To OU Medical Center for lifesaving surgery.

To pick up some milk byproducts for the cats.

To places like mine, where we breed them.

To prevent Carole from taking the keys to the kingdom,

To purchase a fake ID.

To raise up exotic animals as house pets.

To rebuild that $120,000 building.

To report back to me what was going on.

To see where he could sit and shoot her through a window,

To spend that amount of time in court? She did

To stand up against that bullshit law.

To start posting the truth about Carole Baskin for a change.

To stop the wife taking anything.

To the news media and everything else worldwide

To the point that I am just not gonna do it anymore.

To the undercover agent.

To the world we live in today than a tiger.

To their livelihood and to their ego.

To tighten the noose around Jeff Lowe.

To try and determine if there was any link there at all.

To try and settle the bullshit,

To try to determine his location.

To where it completely exploded the building

To write a letter to a senator or a congressman

Today, Joseph Schreibvogel Maldonado Passage,

Today, we have gathered to witness the union of Travis, John, and Joe.

Took care of the cats that he had.

Took me a couple days to talk him into going to dinner,

Took the stand today in his own defense.

Took the witness stand today.

Top dollar family drug enterprise.

Tore all my insides up.

Travis could be in a relationship with us too, and...

Travis is another musclebound skateboarding guy.

Travis says, "I can shoot her from there, I can shoot her from there." Joe's like,

Travis was a pothead from hell, and

Travis was banging every girl in the park,

Travis was sitting underneath the camera, but it was pointing directly at me.

Travis would smoke his meth.

Turn that shit off for a minute.

Turned into a personal and legal court battle,

Two of those largest ones, for the alleged use of interstate commerce

Uh, "Shreeb uh vogel"?

Uh, and we entertain people, okay?

Uh, anyone that I could get him in front of, we had their vote.

Uh, did not approve of or authorize your use of this photograph, correct?

Uh, it was the worst experience of my life.

Uh, my attitude is nothing can bring me down,

Uh, the ambulance is there taking care of Joe.

Uh, to buy the show.

Uh...

Um, and he said point blank,

Um, but, you know, he really loved him

Um, I'm a Libertarian, so technically, fuck the feds.

Um, I'm gonna

Um, in that respect, this is terribly unusual

Um, it was just something that he resisted.

Um, that, you know, in some ways,

Um...

Um...

Um...

Um... is Carol.

Unbelievable.

Unimaginable, man, he was hateful.

Unless it's rock solid,

Unless you part 'em out right there, I guess.

Until someone would come forward...

Until the day I see her ass in prison.

Until they become the only person  that can fulfill that need.

Until they've been here, like They're here for level five,

Until this happened.

Until we're number one top zoo in the country.

Until you're drunk enough to try meth for the first time.

Up all night, Ecstasy, all that stuff. I mean, that was just their style.

Used to do the same thing.

Using a federal court in order to do that.

Usually you build up muscles, you build up calves,

Very beautiful animals, that have a place in the world,

Vote for me, or you need this 'cause you're screwed.

Waiting for you to deliver their next meal.

Walk right up to the cage, I'll kill 'em all."

Want a free shirt?

Wanted to be rid of Don Lewis.

Was arrested for seeking to hire someone to murder me.

Was born two days after Travis died.

Was he a witness? Yes.

Was it for the sympathy?

Was it for...

Was just several hours later, and he was never seen again.

Was taken into custody today.

Was terrifying.

Was that he would eventually move the Big Cat Rescue,

Was the lack of regulations, you know.

Was to rename his traveling show

Was, "If I can pull this off,

Wasn't even supposed to be putting their hands in around.

Watch your back.

Watching Carole go down the bike path

We actually sent myself and another detective

We all feel...

We all knew they were in Florida.

We all tried to tell him, "Knock it off, stupid."

We are enormously grateful to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service,

We are going into this zoo together.

We are going to double that reward.

We are here today because of what he said when he thought no one was listening.

We are looking at some little tiger cubs.

We are partners.

We are planning to shut the zoo down in a few months.

We are totally hands off. We don't touch them at all.

We are. We're going to close this facility down

We basically had a deal.

We became popular off of each other

We believe that she fed him to the tigers.

We built a website, 911AnimalAbuse.org.

We call it meth mouth.

We couldn't sue him over the cub petting.

We definitely did not end up, um, with, um...

We did People magazine.

We didn't have standing to do that.

We didn't see that, and we weren't really part of that.

We discussed what I would charge him to rebuild at a decent rate.

We don't We didn't really ask,

We don't even have enough meat to do the wolves. This is ridiculous.

We don't have this yet.

We don't restrain free speech in this country,

We ended up with all the yucky stuff.

We found a microphone and an antenna on top of the gift shop roof.

We found, I think, 88,000 some dollars in misappropriated spending.

We fucking lost.

We get constant threats on the phone, e mails, letters.

We get that everywhere we go.

We got chicken coming, so...

We had a meat grinder.

We had cameras

We had gotten into an argument,

We had phone recordings to prove that Allen never went to Florida.

We had the big Vegas mansion,

We had tigers in our house, and it got me in trouble.

We have 28 species of primates.

We have a cat who,

We have brought in 76 of our own volunteers,

We have people that have joined our apprentice program over the decades.

We have really enjoyed our exotics.

We have the text message where Jeff said,

We have to be open by spring break.

We have to get away from here because I'm gonna kill this guy."

We have to have this center part done.

We have to terminate the call,"

We hear it's Carole's birthday next month.

We interact with our animals. We give them love and passion.

We just happened to have gotten in the mail today...

We kept guns by the bed,

We kept waiting for the arrest,

We knew something was going on.

We loaded up stuff and we left

We need weekends off, we're only working 40 hours a week.

We never would have found anything.

We punish it after it's done.

We put a reward out for information leading to who killed Don

We put in security cameras.

We reached out to Ms. Baskin in, I want to say, November of 2017.

We said he had a green thumb,

We sent that to the law enforcement.

We spent about four or five days in the area

We spent the last four years  of our lives together.

We spent the last four years  of our lives together.

We started in 1992

We started negotiating with Carole and Howard on how to get out of it.

We take Lauren in next Tuesday

We talk.

We thought Jeff literally was taking everything away from him.

We thought we were helping Joe out.

We transported a bunch of different animals.

We tried to expose the fact that she is scamming the public.

We tried to narrow down where he was,

We try to make everything stupid proof 'cause people will do stupid things.

We usually lived in mobile homes.

We were aware that this was a possibility. It's just that call

We were coming up to this trial in January,

We were negotiating with a network...

We were sitting in the meeting.

We were supposed to be sexy, because we're luring people in.

We will make it happen.

We worked so hard...

We would suddenly fold our tent and go away,

We'd be miserable,

We're going to continue

We're gonna build that zoo in six months.

We're gonna change this state.

We're gonna expose the lies, the corruption, and we are...

We're gonna keep bringing animals in, more and more and more,

We're kind of popular. [laughing]

We're not done yet. We're still gonna dig up Carole's ass.

We're not really liked by the animal world, you know,

We're offering a 10,000 dollar reward

We're shooting the reality show in segments.

We've done everything we could do in terms of trying to put those to rest,

We've got four kitties we're gonna feed.

We've spent over a million dollars in legal fees.

Weddings, funerals, and relationships at Christmas fade away

Welcome to saga six of the Carole story.

Well I said, "Well, technically he does work for me.

Well, he has three or four girlfriends.

Well, he was supposed to give me $5,000 cash to leave with.

Well, here's the deal.

Well, I couldn't build all that up,

Well, I don't feel we got our day in court.

Well, I guess, I don't know.

Well, I left home at the age of 15.

Well, if this were a purely commercial situation, it wouldn't.

Well, it all starts, you know Carole Baskin,

Well, it didn't. They just moved it to another lawsuit.

Well, some of these are bilingual or multilingual,

Well, sooner or later he's going to jail.

Well, that's okay..

Well, there were mixed stories, but Allen apparently testified

Well, there's no proof.

Well, unfortunately, I can't let you go, because it's a private place.

Well, when I was told...

Well, who knows, you know?

Were causing him, and all the money it was costing him...

Were crucial to bring and bring together.

Were going to be under subpoena.

Were trying to get Carole whacked.

Were trying to get Carole whacked.

Were you having fun? Were you having fun?

What a wild interview!

What am I gonna tell the feds now,  or the judge?

What better timing?

What can I get you? What can I...

What did he offer in exchange?

What difference does it make? I was still there.

What do want   What do you think the shot is?

What do you fucking do?

What do you see numbers wise?

What do you want me and Paul to do right now?

What does the name Bhagavan mean?

What he said, and I'll let you go.

What I call the bad guy network,

What I did, basically, when I was there was raise tiger cubs.

What I recommend strongly...

What if we take these monthly payments

What is setting up a person? Turning them in?

What kind of problem is there, Joe?

What raises my eyebrows is "she threatened to kill me."

What really happens there

What scent makes a liger attack your shoe?

What started out as this feud between two people,

What the fuck are you doing, you know? What are you, stupid?

What they were doing.

What they'll say is that they were treated so abusively.

What we were, you know

What we're building here will be immaculate, amazing.

What?

What? [laughs]

What's wrong with Jeff, so that one day, this becomes a lawsuit.

When clearly...

When he found Dillon, he started to bounce back.

When he needed something done, I would go do it for him.

When he proposed, I just I said yes.

When he put the gun to his head.

When he said he was gonna run, for president, it about floored me.

When he, I don't wanna put any words in your mouth, so...

When hers is nothing.

When I do become psychotic, that's my "going to Tampa" gun.

When I felt like we were probably surging because he started listening to advice,

When I first met Joe,

When I first met Joe...

When I got the job offer to work for Joe,

When I got to get in a cage

When I married you, I just wanted it to be different than everything else was.

When I met him, I had two husbands, whatever you want to call them.

When I read what it was like there,

When I realized that Joe has become a complete liability.

When I woke up this morning I was in a free fucking country!

When Jeff came along...

When Joe rented that helicopter,

When Lauren and I came back from Las Vegas,

When that fell apart... he decides to run for governor.

When they died.

When they Google it, it might pull him up first.

When Travis came around,

When Travis died,

When we came back here from Las Vegas,

When you're conducting a war,

When you're in that state...

Where he appears to be this great big felonious murderer.

Where he would take a picture of Carole

Where it went bad with James and I is

Where one of the employees stuck their arm through the cage

Where they could cut my body into pieces.

Where you can't take any time off,

Whether on purpose or accidentally,

Whether or not I should own a fucking tiger or not?

Which Who cares, you know,

Which also works adult missing persons.

Which caused them all to burn up and perish,

Which I don't remember agreeing to.

Which I think he was playing a part.

Which is a paralyzing agent

Which is Exhibit 1, this lawsuit was already pending, correct?

Which is just what he did, and I told him,

Which is right outside where our bed is.

Which it didn't, you know, of course.

Which she inherited from her husband  that's dead and missing for years now.

Which was the last thing I ever thought my brother would grow up to be,

Which, in her opinion, was a win

Which, of course, we were not going to do.

While he was running for the governor of Oklahoma,

While he's singing, feeding body parts to her cats.

Who that was their only option.

Who are rescuing big cats.

Who are spending this holiday alone...

Who claims to run the world's largest private zoo for tigers

Who doesn't want to play with a baby tiger?

Who don't even know us that dug deep in their pockets

Who has the millions

Who hires a $3,000 hit man?

Who is Joe Exotic?

Who the hell knows?

Who was accompanied by another deputy.

Who was Carole Lewis at the time, was married to Don Lewis.

Who was going to be killed by taxidermists at an auction.

Who, what, where, when, how, why, he knew all of that.

Who'd have thought?

Why are you so convinced of that?

Why did I set that up?

Why did it take $47,652 to put on your Fur Ball

Why don't you come back another day?

Why would they not want to talk to me?

Why would you work for that guy? Aren't you scared?"

Will be going to federal prison.

Will do."

Will use them as a lure to bring in young people

Wipe all the computers, get outta here.

Wish I wasn't.

With all the crimes I know he's committed."

With all these tigers around you."

With almost 100 elephants.

With big smiles on their face.

With bullet holes in it. It's like, this guy is just...

With expletives.

With how to protect himself...

With its verdict, seeing that there were 19 counts.

With James Garretson,

With Jeff Lowe coming in to help him,

With Jeff Lowe, the suspicion is

With murder for hire.

With no windows, no blankets, no nothing.

With six, eight month old tigers and lions.

With the Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office in Tampa, Florida,

With the keys still in it, his briefcase in it, but no Don Lewis.

With the most god awful big hands you've ever seen in your life.

With the purchase of a bobcat

With this venomous man?

With this whole Joe fiasco.

Without their loved one...

Won't go there.

Word on the street is that Joe left to get his ass out of trouble.

Would be to drug me with ketamine,

Would have been a devastating blow.

Would have been a devastating blow.

Would lead to more business at the park,

Would rather just get away.

Would you leave your van where you got in a plane to take off?

Wow.

Y'know, all you're doing is asking for a battle that you don't...

Y'know, those cats trusted me.

Yeah, because we learned a lot  from each other,

Yeah, except I didn't make these.

Yeah, he come up with a Florida address and a Florida phone number

Yeah, he did sell cubs.

Yeah, he gave me three grand.

Yeah, I can do that.

Yeah, I have pictures of it too.

Yeah, no, I don't take Christmas. I'm here Christmas.

Yeah, she's just jealous.

Yeah, thanks for having me.

Yeah, they already called and said you'd been there.

Yeah! [laughs]

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah. [laughs]

Yep, yep. Up to 227 tigers.

Yep.

Yep. No, actually, I didn't hand them out.

Yes, we're getting a nanny. I need help.

Yet, you're back on the park today,

You all right? Stay with me. Stay with me, Saff.

You are a shitty fucking partner.

You are going to jail.

You are something else.

You build up your heel, you know, your ankle.

You can feed heavy

You can go down to the courthouse and ask.

You can go in there and go into the gift shop into his office

You can guaran goddamn tee I'm gonna put a cap in your ass

You can pack your shit and go right now!

You can tell he's been through the business world a few times.

You can't do anything for five years.

You can't funnel and embezzle money!

You can't get him to stop talking,

You can't hide.

You can't pursue exactly what you'd like to do.

You could have a crotch like Carole does."

You could not have looked at Don

You could shoot her with this, nobody'd ever see you."

You could use this on her nature trail, wherever she walks.

You definitely don't work regular hours.

You don't bemoan the fact

You don't have anything to worry about.

You don't understand These people are dangerous.

You don't wanna be on Joe's side when this comes down.

You ever walked a lion?

You ever walked a tiger?

You forged my name 20 fucking times on cashed checks.

You give them as much happiness as you can.

You got Brown Zoo, you got Tim Stark.

You got Doc Antle in the Carolinas,

You got sound?

You guys are ready... for the party. Get the chimp, and I'll walk right in.

You guys edit this shit. I want you to show it to him.

You have to stay within the bounds of the law.

You have to understand that Don Lewis was married with kids,

You haven't recognized the rest of us 40 people

You haven't seen "Here Kitty Kitty," you don't know what you're missing.

You just caught on to it in the last few days."

You just think, "Well, things are gonna work out.

You know the saying that you get your day in court?

You know what I mean, he's Anyway.

You know,

You know, a horrific accident happened?

You know, and I don't think Joe will be in a cell alone.

You know, but the main thing I wanted was a business partner.

You know, gay man, owning a zoo, toting a gun.

You know, he didn't want to answer, he just turned his head.

You know, he was already a paranoid person...

You know, he's a little more upscale,

You know, hide gold bars, bury the gold bars.

You know, him and Lauren swing.

You know, I actually believed in  the justice system there for a while,

You know, I had some different change of hearts.

You know, I really didn't do most of the stuff,

You know, I think he got up there, and he was enamored by the big house

You know, I think they are.

You know, I'm not an angel, but god...

You know, Joe wasn't alone. Joe still had Travis.

You know, just being gentle, just following Lakshman's lead

You know, let's strike while the iron is hot.

You know, nobody's ever just really said

You know, that can be hurtful and can change a person too.

You know, that's what he needs.

You know, that's when they really start showing up on my radar.

You know, the lawsuit and everything.

You know, there was just

You know, there's a lot of other people, but, yeah, I'll feel somewhat responsible.

You know, they call it set up,

You know, this guy is kinda crazy and, you know, dementia,

You know, to render it, it needs to go to the cats,

You know, we lived in these terrible horse stalls, basically.

You know, why do I want to come back to the office every day that,

You know, why does an innocent guy buy a burner phone?

You know?

You know. So I guess that's how Joe did it.

You lost that when you fucked with Carole Baskin.

You name it, I've done it.

You see sides of him.

You still have them there at your facility,

You usually find yourself on the right side.

You wanna be on the government's side.

You wanna know why

You wanna trade a place to live that you can call your own

You were actually there?

You will stay out of trouble.

You will stay out of trouble.

You would be fucking who knows where without me,

You would have to write books

You would've thought they just caught Ted Bundy."

You wouldn't want nobody to know you was in the plane,

You'd have to make four fuel stops.

You'd say this is not economic,

You'd want to sit down and have a beer with,

You'll get a kick out of it, I'm sure.

You'll hide all of this shit.

You'll see, watch her ass.

You're being investigated for something else,

You're gonna do whatever the fuck you want without even asking me, and it's wrong!

You're gonna get all your customers from Texas anyways.

You're gonna get me in fucking trouble, Joe!

You're leading me down a road where people are just gonna say,

You're not going to fuck me.

You're not gonna intimidate me, and you're not gonna have the final word."

You're not gonna notice, huh? Okay.

You're not gonna put me in trouble and then treat me like shit. Asshole!

You're not gonna show this to the defense attorney when I lay it out?

You're still tagging them as rescues, and you're still 'frauding the public.

You're stirring up shit

You're the slacker, and you do less than anybody here.

You've already stripped me of just about everything I own.

You've got to look at it in the eyes of the law.

You've got to shoot it or dart it.

Young enough, that she would be all he needed...

Your beginner, like, keeper trainees and partner trainees.

Yup.

Zoom in on her ass.

[Carole] We met on November 1st in 2002.

[Carole] We've got over two million fans on Facebook,

[Carole] We've had whistle blowers come to us

[Carole] You don't have to worry about the barking dog

[Carole] You're never going to get into a place like Mario's,

[cat meows]

[Cheryl] Two months after my son died,

[children chattering, laughing]

[closing music plays]

[closing music theme]

[closing music theme]

[continues laughing] And Carole got greedy.

[Corkill] And of course, if you put it to social media, the comments are endless.

[Corkill] In the news, we talk about shootings and killings every day,

[Corkill] Jeff Lowe is a very skilled con man.

[Corkill] Kelly, last week we told you

[Corkill] That witness told the jury

[Corkill] When people are running for any election,

[Corkill] You know, if you've got the money...

[coughs]

[country song plays]

[Cowie] As soon as he was gone,

[Cowie] It's pretty fucking crazy.

[Cowie] It's the Walmart meat trucks have sucked lately.

[Cowie] Oh, man! This stuff is still frozen.

[Cowie] The passion was there, but he lost it.

[Cowie] This fucking clown?

[Cowie] Yeah, I got woked up  at six o'clock in the morning.

[crowd murmuring in excitement]

[crowd] Amen.

[cub mewling]

[cub yowls]

[cubs mewling]

[cubs mewling]

[David] Customers would ask where Joe was.

[David] He says he's rich.

[David] I had seen online all the pictures showing that they were in Belize.

[Dial] Everyone has lost in this.

[Dial] He'd always pointed guns at people all the time out there at the park.

[Dial] I just kinda felt like I was attached by pain to Joe.

[Dial] Instantly, I just have an icy cold stabbing feeling going through my heart.

[Dial] It's not like...

[Dial] Jeff Lowe set him up.

[Dial] Joe Exotic for president was 100%

[Dial] Joe was running for governor of Oklahoma as a Libertarian.

[Dial] Neither Travis nor John Finlay were gay,

[Dial] That's when I knew that there was something serious going on.

[Dial] The day after Joe left,

[Dial] There are people out there.

[Dial] Towards the end of the campaign,

[Dial] Travis came into the office  and started complaining to me.

[Dial] We've completely lost sight

[Dial] Whatever Jeff Lowe told him scared the living hell out of him

[Dial] You could always read Joe.

[Dillon] I'm not going anywhere.

[Farr] After Don disappeared,

[Farr] After Don disappeared, Carole and Vernon, her dad, had asked me...

[Farr] And it didn't make sense.

[Farr] I think the police did a horrible job...

[Farr] If Don Lewis had have gotten a divorce with Carole...

[Farr] So, Carole's dad, Vernon, come and built cages with me.

[Farr] We was building this cage,

[Finlay Joe and Travis went out to the mansion that Jeff Lowe had.

[Finlay] A nobody now.

[Finlay] For somebody to burn down an alligator house,

[Finlay] It wasn't weird to share Joe with another guy because...

[Finlay] Jeff Lowe was getting downright ugly...

[Finlay] The day Travis came to the park...

[Finlay] There was times that Joe would joke around about it,

[Finlay] When Joe pretty much maxed out all the credit cards

[Fisher] But that's the way it is in all cults.

[Fisher] He would say, "They're free to leave at any time."

[Fisher] I was really looking for somebody to tell me what to do.

[Fisher] There was a certain personality of woman that he wanted.

[Fritz] Anne McQueen was probably the closest person alive to Don Lewis.

[Fritz] My understanding was is he went to..

[Fritz] Somebody, sometime, someplace, somewhere, somehow,

[Garretson] And then Allen Glover disappeared.

[Garretson] At that point, the case stopped.

[Garretson] Before the Feds even said anything,

[Garretson] Eventually, I made contact with Allen Glover.

[Garretson] He used the Walmart donation program

[Garretson] I mean, letting the hit man loose tells you...

[Garretson] I think Lowe will get arrested soon.

[Garretson] I thought the plot stopped with Glover,

[Garretson] I've known Joe a span of about 20 years.

[Garretson] If I stole a Hummer, don't you think I'd be charged? Come on.

[Garretson] It just dragged on forever, and it wasn't gonna happen.

[Garretson] Jeff Lowe asked me if I wanted to be part of the new zoo.

[Garretson] Jeff Lowe let the feds into Joe's house.

[Garretson] Joe was always trying to be bigger than what he was, you know,

[Garretson] That zoo down in Thackerville, that was my idea.

[Garretson] This agent shows up here at my shop.

[Garretson] Travis, he would always say

[Garretson] We started out at 5,000 down and 5,000 when she's dead.

[Garretson] We were just trying to track Glover's whereabouts,

[Garretson] Whenever that clip went to John Oliver,

[Garretson] You know, Joe cries victim,

[gavel banging]

[Glover] Call you names over the radio.

[Glover] I hate to be a part of this shit.

[Glover] I went to prison when I just turned 18.

[Glover] Once we move, it'll be a whole different ballgame.

[Glover] Once we move, it'll be a whole different ballgame.

[Glover] The plan was...

[Glover] Well...

[Goode] And tell me what happened when Jeff Lowe got involved.

[Goode] How much has this cost you, this lawsuit between you and Joe?

[Goode] So those are like bait to get girls?

[Goode] So those are like bait to get girls?

[Goode] To do what?

[Goode] Wait, wait, she offered who $20,000?

[Goode] What do you know about Jeff Lowe? Like what

[Goode] Where did you get the name? Where'd you get the idea?

[Goode] You didn't make any money.

[Goode] You're kidding. Is it worth it?

[Green] But we aren't here today because of what Mr. Passage said online.

[Green] From the government's point of view, both the murder for hire

[Green] Mr. Passage believed that his kingdom was under attack.

[Green] Mr. Passage built his own kingdom.

[Green] The Fish and Wildlife and FBI had obtained phone numbers

[Green] The government did not know that Mr. Glover had, in fact,

[Green] The government doesn't have any evidence

[Green] They did discuss various details

[growling]

[grunting]

[grunts]

[guard] Good morning, how are you, sir? Do you have a reservation?

[gunshot]

[gunshot]

[handler] He had to see his girlfriend.

[handler] I'm sorry.

[helicopter blades whirring]

[herd mooing]

[horn honks]

[Howard] And naturally, if someone is approaching you,

[Howard] And the mediator said, "If you won't get off the call,

[Howard] Carole stopped riding her bicycle to and from.

[Howard] Her intent was to warn him,

[Howard] I generally keep these little bottles of champagne

[Howard] I was sitting at my desk when the phone rang,

[Howard] In early 2013,

[Howard] In murder for hire,

[Howard] Joe decided

[Howard] My number one goal in life is gonna be to make this woman happy.

[Howard] Over the ensuing months,

[Howard] People like Joe have an amazing grip over people,

[Howard] Special agents of the Fish and Wildlife Service

[Howard] Special agents of the Fish and Wildlife Service

[Howard] That building contained computers

[Howard] The prospect of collecting

[Howard] This is just not true.

[Howard] Through the proceedings about the land

[Howard] We always have a level of worry about these people,

[hums fanfare]

[indistinct chatter]

[indistinct speech through walkie talkie]

[indistinct speech]

[instrumental folk music]

[interviewer] Are you worried about the fallout of Joe's case?

[interviewer] But Joe, did you shoot those tigers?

[interviewer] But why did you need a special agent to pose as a hit man?

[interviewer] Do you think Joe was acting entirely alone?

[interviewer] For what reason?

[interviewer] How do you think it's going to go for Mr. Exotic today?

[interviewer] Joe, you don't seem like your regular self.

[interviewer] Like what?

[interviewer] Oh, that's bad?

[interviewer] So here's one to Doc Antle.

[interviewer] So how involved was Jeff Lowe

[interviewer] What about Carole?

[interviewer] What did people think of Joe running for governor?

[interviewer] What is it? It's not obvious?

[interviewer] What would you say to Joe now

[interviewer] Who is James Garretson in all of this,

[interviewer] Who's the winner in this?

[interviewer] Why do you think PETA or the animal rights groups

[interviewer] You're testifying mostly about the movement of animals.

[Joe laughs]

[Joe murmurs, laughs]

[Joe muttering]

[Joe over the phone] I'm taking Carole on

[Joe, crowd laughing]

[Joe] ...problem with that?

[Joe] "I listened while he told me that all of his money is his,

[Joe] All right.

[Joe] Allen is Jeff's right hand man.

[Joe] An arsonist hit our facility

[Joe] And if you think it's funny,

[Joe] And that's when I had mediation with Howard

[Joe] And they said, "We'll make it 35 if you can pay that."

[Joe] Are the animals happy?

[Joe] Better mental health.

[Joe] Brittany was quite shocked

[Joe] But she prepared his power of attorney.

[Joe] Carole Baskin's third husband, they can't find his body.

[Joe] Did I ever dream that PETA would be my ally right now?

[Joe] Doc Antle is like...

[Joe] Every person who drove by  hollered, "Murderer."

[Joe] Everything's all right. Everybody calm down. It'll be all right.

[Joe] First date since Travis died.

[Joe] Five months ago,

[Joe] Fuck the fire extinguisher.

[Joe] G.W. Zoo. It's real simple.

[Joe] Get up. Get up, boy, and get some lunch.

[Joe] Great big fucking mansion,

[Joe] He arrived and, my god, it was this 6'6"...

[Joe] He had the money to fight Carole.

[Joe] He left me for a girl,

[Joe] He's got his little cult, and I've got my little cult, you know.

[Joe] Hey, Carole, it's a voice from your past.

[Joe] How does she brainwash  all of them volunteers

[Joe] I am third in the polls right now out of 12.

[Joe] I do this every year, Christmas and Thanksgiving.

[Joe] I euthanized five tigers, okay?

[Joe] I had to finally go sleep in that studio yesterday.

[Joe] I have everything covered, Jeff.

[Joe] I just need out of here so bad.

[Joe] I just worry whether or not you're gonna be there when I get out.

[Joe] I said, "I'll testify against all 30 of them."

[Joe] I testified.

[Joe] I think testifying went very well.

[Joe] I use my music as an escape from reality.

[Joe] I was asked to bail Jeff out of jail two times.

[Joe] I was back at my desk minding my own business...

[Joe] I'm in a cage.

[Joe] I'm John Finlay, and I'm president of the G.W. Zoo.

[Joe] I'm using nothing more than what I can buy legally

[Joe] I've had my days of coke.

[Joe] If we could ever get the law to go in there

[Joe] If you don't think she's not making money

[Joe] In 20 years, I have bit my tongue, and I have kept my mouth shut...

[Joe] In court, James admitted that when they were sitting there

[Joe] It wasn't the zoo anymore.

[Joe] Jeff can't work for a living. He's gotta con somebody.

[Joe] Jeff conned everyone.

[Joe] Joe Exotic.

[Joe] Just get the front on them, is all we need first.

[Joe] Let me show and tell the whole thing.

[Joe] Let's take off. I'll move.

[Joe] Like 300 something.

[Joe] Lyin' under oath is supposed to mean something.

[Joe] Me and Carole

[Joe] Me and Howard came to an agreement.

[Joe] My producers are filming a reality show.

[Joe] Oh, I know what happened.

[Joe] Political condoms.

[Joe] Right now is the time that everybody needs

[Joe] She advertises she has over 100 big cats,

[Joe] She sues my mom for illegal transfer of assets.

[Joe] She'll never get a million dollars out of me. I don't own anything.

[Joe] She's panting hard.

[Joe] She's pushing another one out. You need to be filming her ass.

[Joe] So, I can put some of my money...

[Joe] Take these bags of snow

[Joe] Tell me more about your feet!

[Joe] That is not what I was talking about.

[Joe] The arm is completely gone.

[Joe] There was all kinds of shit on there.

[Joe] There's just some things that I'd rather just be left unsaid.

[Joe] These are very dangerous animals,

[Joe] These tigers have such an acidic stomach

[Joe] They actually got it filmed.

[Joe] They just never stop screaming.

[Joe] They strip you butt naked, put you in a six by eight foot concrete room

[Joe] This has nothing to do with that lemur.

[Joe] This is how Jeff does business, okay?

[Joe] Tim finally figured out that Jeff Lowe doesn't have no money,

[Joe] To get all the footage and set fire to my studio.

[Joe] Travis, he didn't really work at the zoo,

[Joe] We did a protest in front of Carole's place.

[Joe] We went to go on a tour of Big Cat Rescue,

[Joe] We're gonna try and make this

[Joe] What am I hiding?

[Joe] What are you doing?

[Joe] What do you mean?

[Joe] When he's ready, Travis.

[Joe] Why wasn't Allen Glover confronted about lying on the stand?

[Joe] You can sit down on the patio

[Joe] You got six minutes.

[Joe] You know what they threatened me with?

[Joe] You know what?

[Joe] You know, back in the early '90s, she bred and sold cats.

[Joe] You know, we got married when he was 19 years old,

[Joe] You want to know how come

[Johnson] At that point, Joe was really desperate.

[judge] I am adjudicating you guilty.

[judge] Jeffrey Lowe, I am adjudicating you guilty

[Kirkham] After the studio burned, whether he destroyed it or not,

[Kirkham] Breeding was his whole thing.

[Kirkham] But, as the money rose,

[Kirkham] Having the cameras run on the morning meetings set Joe off.

[Kirkham] He would have done anything to become famous.

[Kirkham] I truly believe

[Kirkham] It had burned so hot,

[Kirkham] It's hard to explain the addiction of exotic animals.

[Kirkham] Joe Exotic was...

[Kirkham] Joe had everyone convinced she'd murdered her husband,

[Kirkham] Joe's ego was so big.

[Kirkham] Tilt up a bit, Michael. We'll put it right there.

[Kirkham] Way too big for his little body.

[kisses] It's okay. Down. Down.

[laughing]

[laughs]

[laughs]

[laughs]

[laughs]

[laughs]

[laughs]

[laughs]

[laughs]

[laughs]

[laughs] or it doesn't count.

[laughs] You keep coming back, you're getting older."

[laughter]

[Lauren laughs]

[lawyer] And how are you protecting that?

[lawyer] So they want to do a show related to your park up there?

[lawyer] Well, if they've got it filmed, what do they need you for?

[lawyer] Whoa, whoa, whoa. Who's speaking, please?

[Lewis Cross] Don had money when he met Carole.

[Lewis Cross] Don was 17 and I was 14 when we got married.

[Lewis Cross] He told me that he had met her.

[Lewis Cross] She thought she was pretty enough,

[Lewis Cross] She was taking property out of Don's name and our names

[Lewis Cross] That is when we learned that they weren't getting along real good.

[Lewis Cross] That's why we haven't spoken out.

[lions growling]

[lions murmuring]

[lions murmuring]

[Lively] He liked ladies, I'm sure.

[Lively] They came and spoke with me

[loud banging]

[loud explosion]

[loud explosion]

[loud explosion]

[Lowe] All of the confusion that the Carole Baskin lawsuits

[Lowe] Allen calls me and says, "I'm cutting some trees down today

[Lowe] Allen was kind of a transient all of his life.

[Lowe] But it started to concern me enough

[Lowe] Everybody was loyal to Joe when we got here...

[Lowe] Get out, Lauren.

[Lowe] Having Tim as a partner

[Lowe] He came out with a story.

[Lowe] Hey, guys.

[Lowe] Howard, fuck yourself, and fuck your cunt wife.

[Lowe] I had a guy who worked for me for years,

[Lowe] I trusted James.

[Lowe] It says campaign.

[Lowe] It was after Travis's death that Joe really completely lost it.

[Lowe] Jeff Lowe.

[Lowe] Joe had a truck come in here,

[Lowe] Joe talked about killing this woman...

[Lowe] Joe thought that his political aspirations

[Lowe] Joe turned into a little bitch

[Lowe] Joe was on the run, and he told everyone

[Lowe] Joe would ask him to do something, and if Allen thought it was stupid,

[Lowe] Lauren and I had leased a big home in Las Vegas.

[Lowe] No, get! Get!

[Lowe] Now you got Tim talking to Joe, Joe talking to PETA,

[Lowe] Right before Joe got kicked off the park,

[Lowe] So Joe put a picture of her property on Facebook

[Lowe] The judge says, "Stay out of trouble for a year."

[Lowe] This is where the new zoo will be located.

[Lowe] This isn't my park.

[Lowe] Truth be told, it'd be better for the animal industry

[Lowe] Vegas was crazy.

[Lowe] We are starting fresh, all brand new stuff.

[Lowe] We found almost 40 acres

[Lowe] We heard that Joe was

[Lowe] We thought it would be a good idea, but we were wrong.

[Lowe] We were doing okay the first year,

[Lowe] We're building it. It's just a slow process.

[Lowe] We're stronger in numbers,

[Lowe] When I started asking him about where the money came from for the hit man,

[Lowe] You paid somebody to kill Carole Baskin.

[Lowe] You're fucked.

[Maldonado] I haven't had much of a life before this,

[man 1] All we've got is one barrel of meat right now.

[man 1] Doctor Antle, he has four or five wives.

[man 1] The Bhagavan is the master of the universe.

[man 1] You gonna let them in or you gonna stand there?

[man 2] And your dad is that guy?

[man 2] There's only 5 buckets of meat in there and there's 14 cats in here.

[man humming]

[man laughing]

[man on radio] He's right up the gate.

[man] 'Cause you're afraid of Carole Baskin?

[man] A lot of people think tigers took my legs.

[man] According to Thomas Jefferson,

[man] All his real estate, all of his holdings?

[man] All right, we're gonna get Joe in there now.

[man] And at the time that you were handing out

[man] And how did Carole behave in the aftermath of his disappearance?

[man] And how would he get to Costa Rica?

[man] And so that's why you think it was denied?

[man] And what about justice?

[man] And what about the money in the end?

[man] And where did the rest go?

[man] And you nurse these

[man] And you were aware that Big Cat Rescue...

[man] Are you familiar with one of your videos that you titled

[man] Are you super hands on with the interns?

[man] Breaking down the numbers, Karen, let's start with you.

[man] But if I wanted to just buy

[man] But then what about all of Don's assets?

[man] But you participated in the demonstration

[man] By?

[man] Careful. Careful.

[man] Did he have other women?

[man] Do you live in the house with others?

[man] Do you think most of the meat was from Walmart?

[man] Don't say that. We're worried about that.

[man] Done a little of everything. I've been in the bar business.

[man] Feels like you love them as much as your children.

[man] Got you.

[man] He thought he was more powerful than anybody because he was Tiger King.

[man] He's smoking his last cigarette before he dies.

[man] Here's the latest on the case.

[man] Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump

[man] How long have you had a Prince Albert?

[man] How many wives does Doc Antle have?

[man] I believe that I sold Don and Carole Lewis

[man] I don't even know what a chimp birthday party is.

[man] I need my clapper!

[man] I noticed that you have a huge presence on social media.

[man] I was the first person that she talked to

[man] I've been trying to call and they You know, we wanted

[man] If I need to stop, take a breather, you just let me know.

[man] Is there any chance Don had been killed by one of his cats?

[man] Isn't it suspicious that the power of attorney says, "Upon my disappearance"?

[man] It's not every day that you're asked to have a job

[man] Joe did take advantage of a lot of people.

[man] Joe Exotic for governor,  he thought he was going to win.

[man] Let it down.

[man] My grandfather owned   It was called Robbins Brothers Circus.

[man] Now this is a liger?

[man] Oh, shit, what is this? Hey!

[man] Oh, shit.

[man] One of his wives? Oh, I like that answer.

[man] Probably around 1982,

[man] Selling the animals was the biggest moneymaker for him.

[man] So many of us are programmed  to believe that, you know,

[man] So of all the cat people, you're possibly closest to Doc Antle?

[man] So we just interviewed Jeff Lowe and the entire time,

[man] So what's the theory that makes the most sense?

[man] Take two.

[man] There are so many strange twists in that story,

[man] Third page, you're the bunny?

[man] This is organized crime.

[man] Wait. How does someone's husband just go missing?

[man] Was that consistent in what Carole wanted to do?

[man] We are now on the record

[man] We're getting a good look at your national defense program.

[man] What are some of the rumors?

[man] When I first got to the zoo, I didn't know anything about the zoo.

[man] Whenever you're ready.

[man] Who was the power of attorney on the new documents Carole produced?

[man] Who were the other suspects?

[man] Who's that?

[man] Whoa, motherfucker!

[man] Why did he want to go to Costa Rica so badly?

[man] Why did you set that up?

[man] Why do you choose to call him Bhagavan, is that how everyone

[man] Why is it so hard to get into these places?

[man] Wow, one with the mouth open and everything.

[man] Yeah, that's a tender spot now.

[man] You all right, bud? You want some water?

[man] You do everything against the odds!

[man] You inherited only ten percent of his estate?

[man] You never saw Don dressed up.

[man] You wear the padlocks on the Oh, my god.

[marching band playing]

[Maria Tabraue] Yeah, I think even more.

[Mariscano] I don't believe that Jack Don Lewis flew to Costa Rica.

[Mariscano] In any investigation like this, you go to...

[Mariscano] The day that Don went missing...

[Mariscano] Yeah, we heard all the stories.

[Marsicano] Jack Don Lewis was last seen on August the 18th.

[Mazak] Basically, that was their free ride.

[Mazak] He posted so many pictures of him in bed with girls,

[McCarthy] I'll try to put in a call for you to get into Mario's place.

[McCarthy] She thinks she's the Cleopatra of big cats.

[McCarthy] When they started Wildlife on Easy Street,

[McQueen] At the end, I know there was talk of divorce.

[McQueen] Don started looking a little bit funny,

[McQueen] Don started out with nothing.

[McQueen] He was shipping some cars down to Costa Rica.

[McQueen] I finally got ahold of Carole.

[McQueen] I'd love to be able to attend a funeral,

[McQueen] The will and the power of attorney,

[overlapping chatter]

[Passage] His energy was just so strong, you know,

[Peet] I think that Joe's motivation in this case is revenge.

[Peet] Joe told me that

[Peet] Joe was public enemy number one for my department.

[protester 1] Big Cat Rescue kills its cats!

[protester] Wait a minute. Wait a minute. Wait a minute.

[Putman] It's... "Mom, pay for this attorney."

[Rathbone] "This is the second time

[Rathbone] There was a note pinned to the refrigerator door that said,

[regular voice] You damn right. I would have killed him.

[Reinke] A lot of drama in the zoo world, and, you know, I've changed my life.

[Reinke] Any of the assets that Carole wanted in the lawsuit,

[Reinke] He came to the zoo. Talked with Joe mostly.

[Reinke] He could actually haul people from casino to casino

[Reinke] He flashes a Ferrari around.

[Reinke] He shipped all them money cats out

[Reinke] He'd say, "Here's your assets, come get 'em,"

[Reinke] I know some things that are going to come out in this trial.

[Reinke] I mean, it was a passion of his  to do a reality show.

[Reinke] I miss the babies a lot.

[Reinke] I swear that's Rick Kirkham walking in front of the video

[Reinke] I was actually approached early on about testifying,

[Reinke] I was really shocked.

[Reinke] I would say James Garretson's involvement

[Reinke] It's a... it's a unique relationship.

[Reinke] It's so crooked, the way they do it.

[Reinke] Jeff Lowe came on the scene sometime in 2015.

[Reinke] Joe says, "Y'all want more? I'll give you more

[Reinke] Joe started realizing that if he made his name close to Big Cat Rescue,

[Reinke] Joe's had a pretty good cast of characters

[Reinke] Joe's MIA

[Reinke] Mmm. Mmm, mmm, mmm.

[Reinke] Rick Kirkham, he came to the zoo as a producer for Joe's reality show.

[Reinke] She's got deep pockets.

[Reinke] Shit, I think he burned laptops. I think he burned transfer papers.

[Reinke] Somebody better be rolling.

[Reinke] Staff was world's worst about going through the truck.

[Reinke] The last two days, you could tell he was fixing to leave, to bolt,

[Reinke] The more Joe got aware of social media and how it worked,

[Reinke] The zoo took a big chunk out of my life.

[Reinke] They have the best pizza here.

[Reinke] Things got so bad,

[Reinke] This pisses me off.

[Reinke] USDA do not care.

[Reinke] When Jeff Lowe came back from getting in trouble in Vegas

[Reinke] When Jeff Lowe got in trouble in Las Vegas,

[Reinke] Yeah, Joe was very controlling.

[Reinke] You can't buy, sell, trade, or barter
