I remember we set up a hidden camera in my living room.
We thought it would've been fun to videotape Mark.
We'll ask him some questions and see what he says.
Since he didn't know about it, we thought he'd be more himself
and just reveal all.
We will be shooting the Mealworm, he should be arriving in about 20 minutes.
May the Mealworm live happily ever after.
May I never hear "Mealworm" again!
I was jailbound, boy, I was…
I was getting ready for prison. There was no doubt.
They were gonna nab me any day.
Dude, I was living in a three-bedroom house,
with a pool and a Jacuzzi,
and having steak and lobster six or seven days out of the week
and just partying my ass--
Thousands of dollars in cash, right there in my hand, you know?
Of course, I had an amazing collection of reefer.
Like 25 different types of weed that I would, you know--
Big buds like this long that weighed like a half ounce.
Because I'd buy pounds of it, you know,
and I'd just find the best-looking stuff and seal it up, you know?
It was always dangerous.
He was always afraid someone would come after me to get to him.
Because he was at the top, somebody wanted to knock him down.
Somebody broke in while I was at the store,
so, of course, we had to pack everything up and move.
Bhagavan decided we had to go to Virginia.
And, you know, back then,
I still did everything he said, I had no mind of my own.
By the way, I'm Mitra. Hi!
Okay. That's me. Hi!
To anybody who will talk to my folks, I'm Mark.
But if they ever do find out, it's a stage name.
They would not grasp this guru thing.
He's one of the most unusual people you'll ever meet.
He makes his living training wild animals for movies and television commercials.
If there were ever a real life Beast Master, this guy is it.
Pearlies.
This guy works for a popular oil company that sports the slogan,
"Put a tiger in your tank."
Bubbles played a baby for the McDonald's corporation.
Yum, yum.
He grew up in a wealthy family.
They were the ones that grew all the lettuce in the entire United States.
At the ripe old age of 21, he received his PhD in zoology
from the British College of Natural Science.
He was never an actual doctor.
He wanted to be one, but he didn't have patience for school.
So he just says he is.
Not eat meat?
You've gotta be fucking crazy. I will not stop eating meat.
And then, all of a sudden, boom, I'm not eating meat.
Go way down the hill, Mitra.
Put the chain on her, Mitra. Put a chain on the cat.
She's ruined for the day, and getting ruined for life.
When I said, "Drop it," that's what matters.
It doesn't matter what you think, it matters what I think is happening.
I was always worried about Mark because he abused him so badly.
Yeah, Mark was the nicest man I've pretty much ever met.
He never complained about anything.
He did exactly what he needed to do, and he was always kind.
Well, when I first got there, you know,
they were definitely treating me like a human being.
But, eventually, I was living in this little cubicle.
After a while, I just realized that, you know, wild animal training
really isn't what I wanna do all my life.
This is to the new future.
To the future, yes.
-My new future. -Your new future, right.
Can I make it to Arizona…
…safely, with very few problems.
A lot of people thought that Bhagavan
had something to do with Mark dying.
Everybody thought that.
Why would he have wanted to kill Mark?
For the same reason he hates that I'm out here.
'Cause he knew his secrets.
I know that he left for a while.
When I saw that Mark was back again I was like,
"Oh no, you got away. Why did you come back?"
He just went like this, you know?
- Hey David. -Hey Paul, how you doing?
- Doing good. -Good, good.
I'm not sure,
but it could have been me, because I liked it a lot.
Back then it was pretty popular, but still there wasn't a lot of people.
David, that sign that you're talking about,
I read to the group aloud as we walked towards that sign.
I knew the sign, I knew what it said.
- Wow. -It was, like, giving them fair warning.
"This place is dangerous."
Your brother was extremely brave.
- Yeah. - He was extremely strong.
Your brother saw these people rappelling down the mountain.
And they had all the gear that you need to rappel.
I believe he was trying to show off.
-Yeah. - And he climbed a tree
and jumped over to the falls.
And he was so confident,
he thought he could get a fingerhold and climb up the mountain.
And those rocks were so old, sloping downward, they'd been worn smooth.
He didn't have anything to hold on to, and that's why he fell off.
I didn't see him take the leap. Somebody else did.
We were all very sad.
I mean, it was really hard for us to understand why it happened.
It was-- just didn't make sense.
Yeah, and the last thing that Mark ate was a can of peaches.
I watched him eat that can of peaches.
-I'll be darned. - You know, they were vegetarians.
Yes, you're welcome.
Yeah, I'm sorry for your loss, David, I really am.
Something that you want right here.
Yeah! That looks almost delicious.
Hey, first time I'm on my video. Oh boy!
