To be a god day, you know, Yeah, yeah, I know.
Didn't he get into some kind of trouble?
Speaker 4 (04:06):
Yeah? I was accused of helping some of the convicts.
Speaker 3 (04:08):
Okay, George jen Oh that's ridiculous.
Speaker 1 (04:11):
I know it did, but the evidence was against him,
and all the escaping convicts were killed so they couldn't
testify in his favorite.
Speaker 8 (04:16):
Oh god, Nick, here's a big dad.
Speaker 4 (04:18):

Speaker 5 (05:15):
Letter ask Slim the Whirlwind is his concession.
Speaker 6 (05:17):
The guy pronounted a ky mister Bradden going around a
height time. Good.
Speaker 4 (05:21):
You're the manager of this park. I'm the owner, John Browton.
Speaker 1 (05:24):
Are you a police I'm a private investigator. My name
is Nick Carter. The dead man was a friend of mine.
Speaker 4 (05:28):
Found nothing like this has ever happened before. Mister Carter.
Speaker 1 (05:31):
Your friend must have been standing up in the mid Oh,
he wasn't standing up. And I talked to you, and
I talked to the concession manager in your office.
Speaker 4 (05:37):
Why certainly of course? And you too, didn't you say
you saw what happened?
Speaker 1 (05:41):
Yeah?
Speaker 5 (05:42):
I run the beauty and Piece show right next to
the Whirlwind. Well, miss Latour here we was out on the.
Speaker 1 (05:47):
Ballet platform and you two come along to the office please.
The park police can take care of things here until
someone arrives from homicide.
Speaker 4 (05:52):
Homicide.
Speaker 1 (05:53):
Yes, mister Browdon, I called Sergeant Mathison.
Speaker 4 (05:55):
This was no accident. It was murder.
Speaker 1 (05:57):
O folks, this is Sergeant Matheson of homicide. Mister Broughton,
the owner of the park. Maddy, Oh, Miss Broughton, how
do you do Sargant Slim Watson, who operates the roller coaster.
(06:18):
Hi Lilian Latour, an animal trainer in the show next Door.
Speaker 3 (06:21):
Miss Latuur, please to make your acquaintance.
Speaker 1 (06:23):
And Woody Reeves, who operates the show in which Miss
Latour appears.
Speaker 4 (06:26):
HOI hello Reeves.
Speaker 1 (06:28):
First of all, Maddie, I'll tell you what I know.
Patty and I were in the same string of cars
as the dead man when he was thrown off the
roller coaster. George Haley, a friend.
Speaker 4 (06:34):
Of my father's. Were you together when it happened?
Speaker 1 (06:37):
No, we were trying to find George. He was following
a man who came out to the park on a
bus about eight o'clock, someone George has known when he
was a guard at Bayside State Penitentiary.
Speaker 4 (06:45):
How do you know that?
Speaker 8 (06:45):
Well, George found to ask Nix for help, and finding
out about the man or George knew was that he
was probably a park employee.
Speaker 1 (06:51):
See, Patsy and I were supposed to meet him in
front of the roller coaster, so we killed time by
taking a few rides.
Speaker 5 (06:55):
Uh huh.
Speaker 3 (06:56):
And then I looked back and saw George in the
car behind us.
Speaker 6 (06:59):
The man must have been standing up, Sergeant.
Speaker 1 (07:01):
I tell you, we saw mister Broughton, and he wasn't
standing up, okay, Nick, But what makes you think it
was murder? Well, Maddy, the body was badly smashed up,
but not the back of the head. And I found
blood there.
Speaker 4 (07:12):
Well, naturally after such a fall.
Speaker 1 (07:14):
Is that it was dried blood, mister Broughton from a
blow that had been struck sometime before he fell out
of the roller coast.
Speaker 4 (07:19):
And I wait a minute, Nick, the guy might have
had some acces and you.
Speaker 6 (07:23):
Didn't know about.
Speaker 1 (07:23):
No, Maddy, that was the blow that killed him. Otherwise
it would have raised the lump the size of a
hen's egg. And there was no swelling at all. What
are you talking about? A medical fact? Mister Broughton's swelling
does not take place after.
Speaker 4 (07:34):
Death, right, And he must have been riding around and
that thing dead ever since he was slugged on how.
Speaker 1 (07:39):
He was in sach I collect tickets for every ride,
and I'm sure I certainly wouldn't miss seeing a dead guy.
Speaker 4 (07:45):
And how in sam Hill did he.
Speaker 6 (07:47):
Get in there?
Speaker 8 (07:48):
I have an idea, Sergeant. Yeah, at the beginning of
the ride, there's a dark tunnel. If the murderer had
been hiding in there with the body.
Speaker 1 (07:54):
Oh that's impossible. Huh oh, there's only three inches clearance
on each side of that tunnel. One man couldn't possibly
hide there, let alone two of them.
Speaker 4 (08:02):
Yeah, well, then somebody must have dumped him in there
from someplace.
Speaker 1 (08:06):
Else along the route. Whenever he ain't to that tracked
me up. Bride his days. You need plenty of size
matter from the time the car leaves the top of
the first incline, it's going to break next beat. Well,
let's forget about how he got in the car for
a minute and trying to find the guy he was.
Speaker 3 (08:21):
Asked, how ben he caught this Joe Leston.
Speaker 4 (08:24):
You recognize the name? Huh, mister Browden, Why no.
Speaker 1 (08:29):
No, there's never been any park employee named Joe Lester.
Speaker 4 (08:34):
I'll swear to that, Joe Lester. I've heard that name before.
Speaker 5 (08:39):
Can you get through with little and me as quick
as possible? The gorilla mine has been over there for
almost an hour without any water in his case, and
you better stay here.
Speaker 4 (08:46):
What he somebody else can take care.
Speaker 3 (08:47):
Of bungo, mister Brown, you know there ain't nobody, But
what do you meet and get near him? Anybody else?
Try to walk into that cake care.
Speaker 4 (08:53):
Of the PA. Look, Nick, how about it? You need
these folks any longer?
Speaker 1 (08:59):
I just want to them one question. We've found a
ticket stuff from your show and Hailey's pocket. Would he
he must have followed Lester in there? Did you happen
to notice anybody come in just before Haley?
Speaker 5 (09:09):
I didn't even notice him mit the tour?
Speaker 3 (09:12):
No, no, I didn't see the guy either.
Speaker 4 (09:14):
Joe Leicester, by golly, I've got it. You know him, Maddy.
I don't know him, but I remember who he is.
And if you think Joe Lester murdered Helly, you're out
of luck. Nick, What do you mean? Joe Lester's been
dead for twelve years. That sure drowned while he was
trying to break out of Bayside Penitentiary. His body was
swept out to sea.
Speaker 5 (09:46):
Bongo, go away from I can't jo you a big
I can't just see. I'm bringing you some water.
Speaker 3 (09:53):
Wait a minute, shut up, Bongo.
Speaker 5 (09:57):
What's the matter with you killed him?
Speaker 6 (09:59):
Didn't you me?
Speaker 5 (10:01):
You're nuts?
Speaker 3 (10:02):
Don't lie to me.
Speaker 6 (10:02):
Woody.
Speaker 3 (10:03):
You know I'm too crazy about you to ever tell.
But but I got another truth.
Speaker 4 (10:07):
Whatever put a crazy idea like that in your head?
Speaker 3 (10:10):
Because you're the guy he's after. You're a Joe.
Speaker 5 (10:12):
Lesner, baby, you're way off base. Joe Lesser was drunk.
Speaker 3 (10:16):
They never found the body. And Joe Lester was in
Bayside ten twelve years ago. And you've done a stretch
of Bayside twelve years ago.
Speaker 6 (10:23):
You told me so, Oh what of it started?
Speaker 5 (10:25):
A couple of thousand? Another guy?
Speaker 9 (10:27):
What?
Speaker 3 (10:27):
He don't lie to me? I said, I hadn't seen
the guy before, but I did. I've seen him talking
to you doing.
Speaker 5 (10:32):
My access Baby, you need glasses. That was Broson I
was talking.
Speaker 3 (10:36):
To I tell you I've seen it. It was right
after bros And left you and come back here. And
your face when you saw that guy was like he
was looking at a ghost.
Speaker 5 (10:45):
You're dreaming thing.
Speaker 3 (10:46):
No, No, I'm not. You're the guy he was after
when you killed him. You're a Joe Lester.
Speaker 5 (10:52):
Oh look, didn't you hear him say that? Hayley followed
Lester out here on a bus about eight o'clock.
Speaker 3 (10:57):
Well, my dear, whatdy that? That's right?
Speaker 5 (11:01):
And I began right here doing a show every twenty
minutes since noon? Ain't I just like you have?
Speaker 1 (11:06):
Oh?
Speaker 8 (11:07):
That's right into after all?
Speaker 3 (11:09):
Oh, honey.
Speaker 4 (11:09):
I was so scared.
Speaker 5 (11:14):
Him, mister can I use your car for an hour?
And I'm sure, mister Brodon. Here here's the keys.
Speaker 1 (11:19):
I drove into the city for dinner and something went
wrong with my gasline. Had to come back on the bus.
Speaker 3 (11:24):
Yep, you come out on the bus tonight, mister Browdon.
Speaker 5 (11:28):
Yeah, Lily, you better get ready for the show.
Speaker 8 (11:30):
About eight o'clock, wasn't it, mister Browdon?
Speaker 6 (11:32):
What if it was?
Speaker 3 (11:33):
And you was talking to Woody just before?
Speaker 6 (11:35):
Hold on, what are you getting at Loue?
Speaker 3 (11:40):
Nothing? Excuse me.
Speaker 5 (11:44):
She's kind of upset Browton, you know, seeing a guy
fall and everything.
Speaker 4 (11:48):
Are you sure that's all it was? What else?
Speaker 5 (11:53):
Keep your shirt on, Bongo?
Speaker 1 (11:55):
Come on, yeah, go ahead and take care of the
gorilla Woody. I think I has something to take care
of too. Hey, Nick, do you really think it was
(12:21):
Joe Leicester that Hailey was following. Well, Mattie, you tell
yourself there was no real proof that Lefter died in
that prison break. The body was never recovered.
Speaker 8 (12:28):
Well, you know, s Haley was accused of helping that
engineer escape, and he must have thought by my finding letter.
Speaker 3 (12:33):
He could prove his innocence.
Speaker 4 (12:34):
Yeah, but Lester saw Haley first and kill him to
keep from being turned in. Yeah, yeah, it figures.
Speaker 3 (12:42):
Yeah, but how in the world did Haley's body ever
get into.
Speaker 4 (12:44):
That roller coach? Maybe we'll find out when we catch
the killer. I wared Bayside pen for Joe Lester's description
and fingerprint classifications. Nut I said, be here in a
couple of hours. Yeah, and once we get our hands
on Lester. Like a sad girl from the side show,
the gorilla trainer looks, explained, I want to us. Yes,
what is it?
Speaker 1 (13:03):
I know who he is?
Speaker 2 (13:04):
Jo.
Speaker 4 (13:05):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (13:06):
A few minutes ago, Hey Catcher, she's say, I've got her.
Give me your hand, Mariney, will.
Speaker 6 (13:10):
You up with it?
Speaker 3 (13:11):
Christ Scotch, what's the matter?
Speaker 6 (13:14):
Look at my hand?
Speaker 5 (13:15):
Hey, that's blood.
Speaker 4 (13:16):
All right. He's just been shut and she's dead.
Speaker 2 (13:27):
As Nick gently lowers the body of Lillian Latour to
the ground, a curious, excited crowd begins to gather around
the murdered girl. We'll see what happens in just a moment.
Now back to the case of the Midway murders. Today's
adventure with Nick Carter brought to you by New post
War Old Dutch cleanser in the office of John Browden,
(13:50):
the park manager. Nick and Matty have been investigating the
death of Lillian Latour. I found it, Mattie, thanks to
the noise of the rides in the shooting gallery nearby.
We haven't found anyone who even heard the st I.
Speaker 5 (14:01):
Still can't believe it really happened.
Speaker 4 (14:03):
Will and me.
Speaker 1 (14:04):
We was gonna be married, all right, Take it easy, Woody,
we'll get this.
Speaker 4 (14:07):
Joe Lester, don't worry.
Speaker 6 (14:09):
And when we die, you always come back to Joe Lester.
You said yourself the man was dead.
Speaker 1 (14:14):
No, mister Browton. Sergeant Mathieson said he was reported there.
But I have a hunch we'll find him very much alive.
Speaker 4 (14:19):
You said it, Nick, This Latour knew who he was,
that's why he killed her. But she couldn't have known.
Speaker 5 (14:26):
She'd have said something to me if she did.
Speaker 4 (14:28):
Why me and mister.
Speaker 5 (14:29):
Browden was talking to her not five minutes before before
it happened.
Speaker 1 (14:33):
Wow, that's very interesting because mister Tour's last words were
that she had just learned who Joe Lester was. Well
that then she must have found it out after she
left us, because there was no mention of him while
we were talking, was the Woody was there Woodie?
Speaker 4 (14:51):
Oh no, no, mister Browton.
Speaker 5 (14:52):
She never even mentioned his name. Hey, but I'm I
want to talk to you busy now, that's what I
(15:15):
want to talk to you about. You ain't going to
be so busy from now on?
Speaker 4 (15:20):
What do you mean from now on?
Speaker 5 (15:22):
I'll be doing half the work because you're gonna give me.
Speaker 4 (15:25):
A half fit frist in this whole park.
Speaker 5 (15:28):
Now, look what he You've been bleeding me for three years.
Speaker 4 (15:33):
This is too much.
Speaker 5 (15:33):
I'm letting off, pal. What do you think the cops
would say if I told them that George Haley come
up to me just after you left this afternoon and
asked me if you wasn't Joel Lester. That's a lie,
that's the truth, little got wise.
Speaker 4 (15:48):
I had to kill her too, I didn't.
Speaker 5 (15:51):
It's a lie. I put on an ice ec for
the cops, didn't they the pool? Broken hearted boyfriend? That's me,
And now you're gonna pay for that with.
Speaker 6 (16:01):
Half of this park.
Speaker 4 (16:04):
I won't do it.
Speaker 6 (16:06):
You've bled me for the last I got a gun.
I tore up with you arm.
Speaker 5 (16:14):
I thought you might pull something like that. I'll just
turn this over to the cops too, I would He
was not interested. All I want to know is do
I get half.
Speaker 4 (16:23):
Of the park or do I turn the cops that
you're Joe Lester? Okay, you win, would he?
Speaker 5 (16:35):
I'll have the papers drawn up tomorrow morning.
Speaker 6 (16:51):
Hey, Gordy, you got the whole roller coat disease.
Speaker 4 (16:54):
Thanks Lin.
Speaker 1 (16:55):
Now I want you to run this car slowly as
possible to the tunnel and when I yell stop it.
Speaker 6 (17:00):
Okay, okay, But I still don't get the idea.
Speaker 4 (17:04):
I ain't wrong for anybody died in that tunnel.
Speaker 1 (17:06):
That's the same I want to see for myself.
Speaker 4 (17:07):
So let's get started. Huh Okay, here you.
Speaker 3 (17:09):
Go, Heftsati and you think Swim's lying.
Speaker 1 (17:13):
I don't know, Patsy, But since Haley's body couldn't have
been put in the roller coaster from outside, I can't
see why else.
Speaker 4 (17:18):
It could have been done. But in the tunnel here
it is a floor slimmer. You have the flashlight here.
Speaker 8 (17:28):
But all bet while we're pulling around here, Sergeant Madison
has already caught.
Speaker 3 (17:31):
Jill last year.
Speaker 1 (17:32):
It could be the description and fingerprint classifications got here
from the baseline pen and Mattie said he was going
to round up every park employee see whether any of
them resemble the description in any way.
Speaker 3 (17:42):
See Nick, it's justice.
Speaker 8 (17:46):
Swim said, this tunnel is much too now for anyone
to hide, and especially if he were carrying a dead body.
Speaker 4 (17:51):
Patsy, Uh huh, the walls of this tunnel are bored.
Speaker 1 (17:55):
Well, look at the two boards right beside us where
I holding the flashlights.
Speaker 3 (17:59):
But why they look as if they'd been taken out
and put back again.
Speaker 4 (18:03):
They're going to be taken out a second time. Give
me the crow bar.
Speaker 3 (18:06):
Yep here.
Speaker 4 (18:09):
Having fake's sounds like the gorilla.
Speaker 6 (18:13):
What is compssion?
Speaker 5 (18:14):
Is next?
Speaker 1 (18:14):
Dog?
Speaker 3 (18:16):
Yeah, well, you didn't accomplis much by taking those boards off.
Look what's on the other side, iron bars?
Speaker 4 (18:25):
Yeah, that does upset my theory.
Speaker 3 (18:29):
Nick, we must be right up against the gorilla's cage.
Speaker 6 (18:32):
Let me put these boards out.
Speaker 3 (18:36):
He is on the other side of the cake.
Speaker 4 (18:37):
Don't worry, Patsy, he's Chamesy. Must be an exercise cage,
too big for anything else.
Speaker 3 (18:42):
Well, Haley's body couldn't have come through there. The bars
are too close together.
Speaker 4 (18:47):
Unless look, Patsy, this bars the.
Speaker 3 (18:51):
Show put that ball out the gorilla's.
Speaker 1 (18:53):
Changed twenty feet away from.
Speaker 4 (18:58):
I'm going in the case maybe if.
Speaker 3 (19:00):
They are here, and that's exactly what I think, But
I'm going with you just the same.
Speaker 1 (19:09):
Hello, whatdy, that's the person I wanted to see. I'm
inside the cage and I'll show you.
Speaker 8 (19:18):
Hi.
Speaker 3 (19:18):
I wish he wouldn't do that.
Speaker 5 (19:23):
I'll stay there now.
Speaker 1 (19:26):
Yeah, I found out you got George Haley's body into
that roller coaster car.
Speaker 5 (19:32):
You're wrong, Connor. I didn't kill him.
Speaker 4 (19:34):
Oh yes, you did, Wody.
Speaker 1 (19:36):
When he came into your show, you learn him backstage
and killed him with the blow on the head. And
when the roller coaster went through the dark tunnel, you
turned out the lights in here and dumped the body
into one of the cars at the same opening we
just came through.
Speaker 5 (19:45):
Well maybe that's the way it happened, but but it
wasn't me that done it. It was Problem.
Speaker 4 (19:49):
He Joe Lester, how do you know?
Speaker 1 (19:52):
Him?
Speaker 5 (19:52):
And me was at Bayside Pen at the same time.
Problem got away on that break and everybody thought he'd
been killed. He came here, got his hands on some
money and started this spark go on. Well, Haley spotted
in the day he asked me about him, and Browden
brought him back here to.
Speaker 1 (20:05):
Talk it over.
Speaker 5 (20:06):
That must have been when he'd done it.
Speaker 4 (20:07):
How about miss Latour, lil See.
Speaker 5 (20:09):
And Haley come in? She thought it was me he
was after and when I proved that I couldn't have
been Lester, she knew Broughton was. And when he learned that,
she knew he had to kill her too. A bongo,
Shut up, Woody.
Speaker 8 (20:20):
If you're a lying it won't do you any good.
Joe Less's description and fingerprints was sent here from Bayside Penitentiary.
Speaker 5 (20:26):
OK. So I let him take me and Browden down
at headquarters and fingerprints will.
Speaker 4 (20:29):
Prove he's the guy.
Speaker 1 (20:30):
One thing more, Woody, why haven't you said this before?
Even after you thought Broughton killed your girlfriend, you kept quiet.
Speaker 5 (20:37):
I didn't know that he'd done it, did I? And besides,
keeping quiet has paid off pretty good for me.
Speaker 4 (20:42):
I mean, you've been blackmailing Broughton.
Speaker 5 (20:44):
Yeah, I've been shaking him down for plenty, But I
sure ain't gonna go to the chair for him.
Speaker 1 (20:49):
No, you're not.
Speaker 4 (20:50):
You're going to the chair for your own crimes, not his.
Speaker 6 (20:52):
Huh.
Speaker 4 (20:53):
You've just supplied the one thing that was lacking.
Speaker 1 (20:55):
Woody, I'm morial you killed Haley and miss Latour because
of either of them had exposed browden, but put and
then to your little blackmail record.
Speaker 5 (21:02):
That's crazy. You can't prove nothing like that.
Speaker 1 (21:04):
I think I can. Mister Tour said that no one
could go near Bungo but you and her.
Speaker 5 (21:08):
Oh, I've not gotta do with it.
Speaker 1 (21:09):
They killer had to bring Haley's body through this case,
but Bongo was chained up where he could reach the door,
and anybody who came through it. You had to drive
me away yourself a minute to go to get in here.
It's a sense that mister Tour didn't kill Haley and
the murder herself, so that leaves only.
Speaker 5 (21:22):
You, Okay, smart guy. So you think Bango would have
torn anybody apart the game here here except me and
little Well, I'm gonna show.
Speaker 1 (21:29):
It at you're right, get behind me wheel.
Speaker 2 (21:45):
Even as Nick practically pulls the trigger, he knows that
Threevolva bullets can never stop the five hundred pound gorilla
charging furiously caught him and Patty. We'll see what happens
in just a moment. Now for the conclusion of the case,
of the Midway Murders. Today's Adventure with Nick Carter brought
(22:06):
to you by new post war old Dutch cleanser. In
the gorilla's cage to the idle Our Amusement Park, Nick
and Patsy realize that revolver bullets may slow up the
attacking monster. Never stop it.
Speaker 6 (22:18):
That whole cage, but the bars miss.
Speaker 4 (22:19):
They hurried.
Speaker 1 (22:27):
Guerrillas who pigs the squeeze through that hole. I still
have a couple of bullets left.
Speaker 4 (22:34):
Do you take another step?
Speaker 1 (22:35):
I'm gonnahoot and tell him I've got this for what
he reeves where he'll be for some time to come
behind bar targeant Eh Henry glad it's over. Ever since
(23:02):
I escaped from the penitentiary, I've been living in fear
paying blackmail.
Speaker 4 (23:07):
Yeah, it must have been pretty rugged, Browden. Maybe i'd
better call you, lester her after I finished my sentence.
I can really be free.
Speaker 1 (23:14):
You've been a pretty good citizen in these past twelve years, Broaden.
I think the pardon board may take that into.
Speaker 3 (23:18):
Consideration, especially since it was your first offense.
Speaker 1 (23:21):
Whether they do or not, I'm glad I concleared George Haley.
If haven't had anything to do with the break. Believe me,
he didn't know a thing about it.
Speaker 4 (23:29):
I never thought he did.
Speaker 1 (23:31):
But mister Carter, why did you believe I was innocent
of killing George after you found out that I was
Joe Lester. Why when I first mentioned that George was
on Lester's trail, Surprise and shock was written all.
Speaker 4 (23:42):
Over your face. But that's what I mean. I must
have looked guilty.
Speaker 1 (23:45):
You did, and I figured you either were Lester or
knew something about him. But if you had killed Haley
for that reason, you wouldn't have been surprised.
Speaker 3 (23:52):
Yeah, you know. There's also one thing that's bothering me.
Speaker 4 (23:55):
Nick, What Betsy?
Speaker 8 (23:56):
How could Wood he have been so sure Haley's body
would be thrown out of the roller, so that his
death would look like an accident.
Speaker 4 (24:02):
But he didn't plan it that way. His only idea
was to get rid of the body.
Speaker 1 (24:06):
Oh, by the way, mister Brown, you'll be glad to
hear that the vet saysure Gorilla isn't seriously wounded.
Speaker 4 (24:11):
That's good.
Speaker 1 (24:11):
How I only fired at his legs hoping to stop him.
I didn't want to kill him. Yeah, but there will
be any more beauty in The Beast Show without miss
Laturu here in the cage where you, Oh, I don't know,
maybe Patsy'd like the job. Well, you've already made one appearance.
Speaker 8 (24:23):
In this case, I've made two appearances, Nick, my first
and my last.
Speaker 4 (24:29):
Belief.
Speaker 9 (24:29):
Nick.

Why, yes, but what's up?
Speaker 6 (02:37):
I'm no detective, Nick. I've got to have help. I've
been following this guy ever since I recognized him on
the bus in the way.
Speaker 4 (02:41):
To your house.
Speaker 1 (02:42):
But I, George, who are you following?
Speaker 6 (02:45):
Joe Lester at least that.
Speaker 1 (02:46):
Was his name when he was in Baseide Penitentiary twelve
years ago. I think he's working here at the park now.
He's not a customer that's for sure. Hold on, George,
you're going to fans what it's all about.
Speaker 6 (02:55):
I want you to find out if he's a man.
I think he is. What he's doing now, it's terribly

Nick, Okay, I'll get that as fast as I can.
I'll I find you at the park. It waits on

Here we go up the first in climb thing louder.
I'm going to have those teenagers, gentlemen.

I guess we have a card to ourselves this time.
Speaker 4 (03:53):
I wish George would hurry up and get here.
Speaker 3 (03:56):
You know, I wonder who this Joe Lester is if
he's following there.
Speaker 1 (04:00):
George mentioned based that penitentiary he used.
Speaker 3 (04:02):
To be a god day, you know, Yeah, yeah, I know.
Didn't he get into some kind of trouble?
Speaker 4 (04:06):
Yeah? I was accused of helping some of the convicts.
Speaker 3 (04:08):
Okay, George jen Oh that's ridiculous.
Speaker 1 (04:11):
I know it did, but the evidence was against him,
and all the escaping convicts were killed so they couldn't
testify in his favorite.
Speaker 8 (04:16):
Oh god, Nick, here's a big dad.
Speaker 4 (04:18):
Okay, what love it?
Speaker 8 (04:22):
And look behind that.
Speaker 3 (04:23):
You can see all the way down, Nick, what is it?
It's George and the car behind us.
Speaker 6 (04:30):
Your wife has to be a half out of the car.
Speaker 3 (04:32):
He must have stayed it all Nick, where you're going?
Speaker 1 (04:34):
I gotta get back to him to probably go around
that truck.
Speaker 4 (04:36):
Here, it's the light, Nicko was killed.
Speaker 3 (04:38):
Oh he's just gone roll right out of the car.
Let it right in front of me.
Speaker 5 (05:00):
He was out on a ballet platform door.
Speaker 1 (05:01):
Two, and so I wonder we didn't hit somebody and
kill him. That figure's a hundred foot high.
Speaker 4 (05:05):
He back. Everybody, Please let me true, Let me true here.
Speaker 3 (05:08):
Anything we can do, no pancy.
Speaker 1 (05:09):
He must have been killed instantly, looked like every bone in.
Speaker 4 (05:12):
His body broke.
Speaker 6 (05:12):
Colly, what happened here?
Speaker 4 (05:14):
Whaty?
Speaker 6 (05:14):
What's the matter.
Speaker 5 (05:15):
Letter ask Slim the Whirlwind is his concession.
Speaker 6 (05:17):
The guy pronounted a ky mister Bradden going around a
height time. Good.
Speaker 4 (05:21):
You're the manager of this park. I'm the owner, John Browton.
Speaker 1 (05:24):
Are you a police I'm a private investigator. My name
is Nick Carter. The dead man was a friend of mine.
Speaker 4 (05:28):
Found nothing like this has ever happened before. Mister Carter.
Speaker 1 (05:31):
Your friend must have been standing up in the mid Oh,
he wasn't standing up. And I talked to you, and
I talked to the concession manager in your office.
Speaker 4 (05:37):
Why certainly of course? And you too, didn't you say
you saw what happened?
Speaker 1 (05:41):
Yeah?
Speaker 5 (05:42):
I run the beauty and Piece show right next to
the Whirlwind. Well, miss Latour here we was out on the.
Speaker 1 (05:47):
Ballet platform and you two come along to the office please.
The park police can take care of things here until
someone arrives from homicide.
Speaker 4 (05:52):
Homicide.
Speaker 1 (05:53):
Yes, mister Browdon, I called Sergeant Mathison.
Speaker 4 (05:55):
This was no accident. It was murder.
Speaker 1 (05:57):
O folks, this is Sergeant Matheson of homicide. Mister Broughton,
the owner of the park. Maddy, Oh, Miss Broughton, how
do you do Sargant Slim Watson, who operates the roller coaster.
(06:18):
Hi Lilian Latour, an animal trainer in the show next Door.
Speaker 3 (06:21):
Miss Latuur, please to make your acquaintance.
Speaker 1 (06:23):
And Woody Reeves, who operates the show in which Miss
Latour appears.
Speaker 4 (06:26):
HOI hello Reeves.
Speaker 1 (06:28):
First of all, Maddie, I'll tell you what I know.
Patty and I were in the same string of cars
as the dead man when he was thrown off the
roller coaster. George Haley, a friend.
Speaker 4 (06:34):
Of my father's. Were you together when it happened?
Speaker 1 (06:37):
No, we were trying to find George. He was following
a man who came out to the park on a
bus about eight o'clock, someone George has known when he
was a guard at Bayside State Penitentiary.
Speaker 4 (06:45):
How do you know that?
Speaker 8 (06:45):
Well, George found to ask Nix for help, and finding
out about the man or George knew was that he
was probably a park employee.
Speaker 1 (06:51):
See, Patsy and I were supposed to meet him in
front of the roller coaster, so we killed time by
taking a few rides.
Speaker 5 (06:55):
Uh huh.
Speaker 3 (06:56):
And then I looked back and saw George in the
car behind us.
Speaker 6 (06:59):
The man must have been standing up, Sergeant.
Speaker 1 (07:01):
I tell you, we saw mister Broughton, and he wasn't
standing up, okay, Nick, But what makes you think it
was murder? Well, Maddy, the body was badly smashed up,
but not the back of the head. And I found
blood there.
Speaker 4 (07:12):
Well, naturally after such a fall.
Speaker 1 (07:14):
Is that it was dried blood, mister Broughton from a
blow that had been struck sometime before he fell out
of the roller coast.
Speaker 4 (07:19):
And I wait a minute, Nick, the guy might have
had some acces and you.
Speaker 6 (07:23):
Didn't know about.
Speaker 1 (07:23):
No, Maddy, that was the blow that killed him. Otherwise
it would have raised the lump the size of a
hen's egg. And there was no swelling at all. What
are you talking about? A medical fact? Mister Broughton's swelling
does not take place after.
Speaker 4 (07:34):
Death, right, And he must have been riding around and
that thing dead ever since he was slugged on how.
Speaker 1 (07:39):
He was in sach I collect tickets for every ride,
and I'm sure I certainly wouldn't miss seeing a dead guy.
Speaker 4 (07:45):
And how in sam Hill did he.
Speaker 6 (07:47):
Get in there?
Speaker 8 (07:48):
I have an idea, Sergeant. Yeah, at the beginning of
the ride, there's a dark tunnel. If the murderer had
been hiding in there with the body.
Speaker 1 (07:54):
Oh that's impossible. Huh oh, there's only three inches clearance
on each side of that tunnel. One man couldn't possibly
hide there, let alone two of them.
Speaker 4 (08:02):
Yeah, well, then somebody must have dumped him in there
from someplace.
Speaker 1 (08:06):
Else along the route. Whenever he ain't to that tracked
me up. Bride his days. You need plenty of size
matter from the time the car leaves the top of
the first incline, it's going to break next beat. Well,
let's forget about how he got in the car for
a minute and trying to find the guy he was.
Speaker 3 (08:21):
Asked, how ben he caught this Joe Leston.
Speaker 4 (08:24):
You recognize the name? Huh, mister Browden, Why no.
Speaker 1 (08:29):
No, there's never been any park employee named Joe Lester.
Speaker 4 (08:34):
I'll swear to that, Joe Lester. I've heard that name before.
Speaker 5 (08:39):
Can you get through with little and me as quick
as possible? The gorilla mine has been over there for
almost an hour without any water in his case, and
you better stay here.
Speaker 4 (08:46):
What he somebody else can take care.
Speaker 3 (08:47):
Of bungo, mister Brown, you know there ain't nobody, But
what do you meet and get near him? Anybody else?
Try to walk into that cake care.
Speaker 4 (08:53):
Of the PA. Look, Nick, how about it? You need
these folks any longer?
Speaker 1 (08:59):
I just want to them one question. We've found a
ticket stuff from your show and Hailey's pocket. Would he
he must have followed Lester in there? Did you happen
to notice anybody come in just before Haley?
Speaker 5 (09:09):
I didn't even notice him mit the tour?
Speaker 3 (09:12):
No, no, I didn't see the guy either.
Speaker 4 (09:14):
Joe Leicester, by golly, I've got it. You know him, Maddy.
I don't know him, but I remember who he is.
And if you think Joe Lester murdered Helly, you're out
of luck. Nick, What do you mean? Joe Lester's been
dead for twelve years. That sure drowned while he was
trying to break out of Bayside Penitentiary. His body was
swept out to sea.
Speaker 5 (09:46):
Bongo, go away from I can't jo you a big
I can't just see. I'm bringing you some water.
Speaker 3 (09:53):
Wait a minute, shut up, Bongo.
Speaker 5 (09:57):
What's the matter with you killed him?
Speaker 6 (09:59):
Didn't you me?
Speaker 5 (10:01):
You're nuts?
Speaker 3 (10:02):
Don't lie to me.
Speaker 6 (10:02):
Woody.
Speaker 3 (10:03):
You know I'm too crazy about you to ever tell.
But but I got another truth.
Speaker 4 (10:07):
Whatever put a crazy idea like that in your head?
Speaker 3 (10:10):
Because you're the guy he's after. You're a Joe.
Speaker 5 (10:12):
Lesner, baby, you're way off base. Joe Lesser was drunk.
Speaker 3 (10:16):
They never found the body. And Joe Lester was in
Bayside ten twelve years ago. And you've done a stretch
of Bayside twelve years ago.
Speaker 6 (10:23):
You told me so, Oh what of it started?
Speaker 5 (10:25):
A couple of thousand? Another guy?
Speaker 9 (10:27):
What?
Speaker 3 (10:27):
He don't lie to me? I said, I hadn't seen
the guy before, but I did. I've seen him talking
to you doing.
Speaker 5 (10:32):
My access Baby, you need glasses. That was Broson I
was talking.
Speaker 3 (10:36):
To I tell you I've seen it. It was right
after bros And left you and come back here. And
your face when you saw that guy was like he
was looking at a ghost.
Speaker 5 (10:45):
You're dreaming thing.
Speaker 3 (10:46):
No, No, I'm not. You're the guy he was after
when you killed him. You're a Joe Lester.
Speaker 5 (10:52):
Oh look, didn't you hear him say that? Hayley followed
Lester out here on a bus about eight o'clock.
Speaker 3 (10:57):
Well, my dear, whatdy that? That's right?
Speaker 5 (11:01):
And I began right here doing a show every twenty
minutes since noon? Ain't I just like you have?
Speaker 1 (11:06):
Oh?
Speaker 8 (11:07):
That's right into after all?
Speaker 3 (11:09):
Oh, honey.
Speaker 4 (11:09):
I was so scared.
Speaker 5 (11:14):
Him, mister can I use your car for an hour?
And I'm sure, mister Brodon. Here here's the keys.
Speaker 1 (11:19):
I drove into the city for dinner and something went
wrong with my gasline. Had to come back on the bus.
Speaker 3 (11:24):
Yep, you come out on the bus tonight, mister Browdon.
Speaker 5 (11:28):
Yeah, Lily, you better get ready for the show.
Speaker 8 (11:30):
About eight o'clock, wasn't it, mister Browdon?
Speaker 6 (11:32):
What if it was?
Speaker 3 (11:33):
And you was talking to Woody just before?
Speaker 6 (11:35):
Hold on, what are you getting at Loue?
Speaker 3 (11:40):
Nothing? Excuse me.
Speaker 5 (11:44):
She's kind of upset Browton, you know, seeing a guy
fall and everything.
Speaker 4 (11:48):
Are you sure that's all it was? What else?
Speaker 5 (11:53):
Keep your shirt on, Bongo?
Speaker 1 (11:55):
Come on, yeah, go ahead and take care of the
gorilla Woody. I think I has something to take care
of too. Hey, Nick, do you really think it was
(12:21):
Joe Leicester that Hailey was following. Well, Mattie, you tell
yourself there was no real proof that Lefter died in
that prison break. The body was never recovered.
Speaker 8 (12:28):
Well, you know, s Haley was accused of helping that
engineer escape, and he must have thought by my finding letter.
Speaker 3 (12:33):
He could prove his innocence.
Speaker 4 (12:34):
Yeah, but Lester saw Haley first and kill him to
keep from being turned in. Yeah, yeah, it figures.
Speaker 3 (12:42):
Yeah, but how in the world did Haley's body ever
get into.
Speaker 4 (12:44):
That roller coach? Maybe we'll find out when we catch
the killer. I wared Bayside pen for Joe Lester's description
and fingerprint classifications. Nut I said, be here in a
couple of hours. Yeah, and once we get our hands
on Lester. Like a sad girl from the side show,
the gorilla trainer looks, explained, I want to us. Yes,
what is it?
Speaker 1 (13:03):
I know who he is?
Speaker 2 (13:04):
Jo.
Speaker 4 (13:05):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (13:06):
A few minutes ago, Hey Catcher, she's say, I've got her.
Give me your hand, Mariney, will.
Speaker 6 (13:10):
You up with it?
Speaker 3 (13:11):
Christ Scotch, what's the matter?
Speaker 6 (13:14):
Look at my hand?
Speaker 5 (13:15):
Hey, that's blood.
Speaker 4 (13:16):
All right. He's just been shut and she's dead.
Speaker 2 (13:27):
As Nick gently lowers the body of Lillian Latour to
the ground, a curious, excited crowd begins to gather around
the murdered girl. We'll see what happens in just a moment.
Now back to the case of the Midway murders. Today's
adventure with Nick Carter brought to you by New post
War Old Dutch cleanser in the office of John Browden,
(13:50):
the park manager. Nick and Matty have been investigating the
death of Lillian Latour. I found it, Mattie, thanks to
the noise of the rides in the shooting gallery nearby.
We haven't found anyone who even heard the st I.
Speaker 5 (14:01):
Still can't believe it really happened.
Speaker 4 (14:03):
Will and me.
Speaker 1 (14:04):
We was gonna be married, all right, Take it easy, Woody,
we'll get this.
Speaker 4 (14:07):
Joe Lester, don't worry.
Speaker 6 (14:09):
And when we die, you always come back to Joe Lester.
You said yourself the man was dead.
Speaker 1 (14:14):
No, mister Browton. Sergeant Mathieson said he was reported there.
But I have a hunch we'll find him very much alive.
Speaker 4 (14:19):
You said it, Nick, This Latour knew who he was,
that's why he killed her. But she couldn't have known.
Speaker 5 (14:26):
She'd have said something to me if she did.
Speaker 4 (14:28):
Why me and mister.
Speaker 5 (14:29):
Browden was talking to her not five minutes before before
it happened.
Speaker 1 (14:33):
Wow, that's very interesting because mister Tour's last words were
that she had just learned who Joe Lester was. Well
that then she must have found it out after she
left us, because there was no mention of him while
we were talking, was the Woody was there Woodie?
Speaker 4 (14:51):
Oh no, no, mister Browton.
Speaker 5 (14:52):
She never even mentioned his name. Hey, but I'm I
want to talk to you busy now, that's what I
(15:15):
want to talk to you about. You ain't going to
be so busy from now on?
Speaker 4 (15:20):
What do you mean from now on?
Speaker 5 (15:22):
I'll be doing half the work because you're gonna give me.
Speaker 4 (15:25):
A half fit frist in this whole park.
Speaker 5 (15:28):
Now, look what he You've been bleeding me for three years.
Speaker 4 (15:33):
This is too much.
Speaker 5 (15:33):
I'm letting off, pal. What do you think the cops
would say if I told them that George Haley come
up to me just after you left this afternoon and
asked me if you wasn't Joel Lester. That's a lie,
that's the truth, little got wise.
Speaker 4 (15:48):
I had to kill her too, I didn't.
Speaker 5 (15:51):
It's a lie. I put on an ice ec for
the cops, didn't they the pool? Broken hearted boyfriend? That's me,
And now you're gonna pay for that with.
Speaker 6 (16:01):
Half of this park.
Speaker 4 (16:04):
I won't do it.
Speaker 6 (16:06):
You've bled me for the last I got a gun.
I tore up with you arm.
Speaker 5 (16:14):
I thought you might pull something like that. I'll just
turn this over to the cops too, I would He
was not interested. All I want to know is do
I get half.
Speaker 4 (16:23):
Of the park or do I turn the cops that
you're Joe Lester? Okay, you win, would he?
Speaker 5 (16:35):
I'll have the papers drawn up tomorrow morning.
Speaker 6 (16:51):
Hey, Gordy, you got the whole roller coat disease.
Speaker 4 (16:54):
Thanks Lin.
Speaker 1 (16:55):
Now I want you to run this car slowly as
possible to the tunnel and when I yell stop it.
Speaker 6 (17:00):
Okay, okay, But I still don't get the idea.
Speaker 4 (17:04):
I ain't wrong for anybody died in that tunnel.
Speaker 1 (17:06):
That's the same I want to see for myself.
Speaker 4 (17:07):
So let's get started. Huh Okay, here you.
Speaker 3 (17:09):
Go, Heftsati and you think Swim's lying.
Speaker 1 (17:13):
I don't know, Patsy, But since Haley's body couldn't have
been put in the roller coaster from outside, I can't
see why else.
Speaker 4 (17:18):
It could have been done. But in the tunnel here
it is a floor slimmer. You have the flashlight here.
Speaker 8 (17:28):
But all bet while we're pulling around here, Sergeant Madison
has already caught.
Speaker 3 (17:31):
Jill last year.
Speaker 1 (17:32):
It could be the description and fingerprint classifications got here
from the baseline pen and Mattie said he was going
to round up every park employee see whether any of
them resemble the description in any way.
Speaker 3 (17:42):
See Nick, it's justice.
Speaker 8 (17:46):
Swim said, this tunnel is much too now for anyone
to hide, and especially if he were carrying a dead body.
Speaker 4 (17:51):
Patsy, Uh huh, the walls of this tunnel are bored.
Speaker 1 (17:55):
Well, look at the two boards right beside us where
I holding the flashlights.
Speaker 3 (17:59):
But why they look as if they'd been taken out
and put back again.
Speaker 4 (18:03):
They're going to be taken out a second time. Give
me the crow bar.
Speaker 3 (18:06):
Yep here.
Speaker 4 (18:09):
Having fake's sounds like the gorilla.
Speaker 6 (18:13):
What is compssion?
Speaker 5 (18:14):
Is next?
Speaker 1 (18:14):
Dog?
Speaker 3 (18:16):
Yeah, well, you didn't accomplis much by taking those boards off.
Look what's on the other side, iron bars?
Speaker 4 (18:25):
Yeah, that does upset my theory.
Speaker 3 (18:29):
Nick, we must be right up against the gorilla's cage.
Speaker 6 (18:32):
Let me put these boards out.
Speaker 3 (18:36):
He is on the other side of the cake.
Speaker 4 (18:37):
Don't worry, Patsy, he's Chamesy. Must be an exercise cage,
too big for anything else.
Speaker 3 (18:42):
Well, Haley's body couldn't have come through there. The bars
are too close together.
Speaker 4 (18:47):
Unless look, Patsy, this bars the.
Speaker 3 (18:51):
Show put that ball out the gorilla's.
Speaker 1 (18:53):
Changed twenty feet away from.
Speaker 4 (18:58):
I'm going in the case maybe if.
Speaker 3 (19:00):
They are here, and that's exactly what I think, But
I'm going with you just the same.
Speaker 1 (19:09):
Hello, whatdy, that's the person I wanted to see. I'm
inside the cage and I'll show you.
Speaker 8 (19:18):
Hi.
Speaker 3 (19:18):
I wish he wouldn't do that.
Speaker 5 (19:23):
I'll stay there now.
Speaker 1 (19:26):
Yeah, I found out you got George Haley's body into
that roller coaster car.
Speaker 5 (19:32):
You're wrong, Connor. I didn't kill him.
Speaker 4 (19:34):
Oh yes, you did, Wody.
Speaker 1 (19:36):
When he came into your show, you learn him backstage
and killed him with the blow on the head. And
when the roller coaster went through the dark tunnel, you
turned out the lights in here and dumped the body
into one of the cars at the same opening we
just came through.
Speaker 5 (19:45):
Well maybe that's the way it happened, but but it
wasn't me that done it. It was Problem.
Speaker 4 (19:49):
He Joe Lester, how do you know?
Speaker 1 (19:52):
Him?
Speaker 5 (19:52):
And me was at Bayside Pen at the same time.
Problem got away on that break and everybody thought he'd
been killed. He came here, got his hands on some
money and started this spark go on. Well, Haley spotted
in the day he asked me about him, and Browden
brought him back here to.
Speaker 1 (20:05):
Talk it over.
Speaker 5 (20:06):
That must have been when he'd done it.
Speaker 4 (20:07):
How about miss Latour, lil See.
Speaker 5 (20:09):
And Haley come in? She thought it was me he
was after and when I proved that I couldn't have
been Lester, she knew Broughton was. And when he learned that,
she knew he had to kill her too. A bongo,
Shut up, Woody.
Speaker 8 (20:20):
If you're a lying it won't do you any good.
Joe Less's description and fingerprints was sent here from Bayside Penitentiary.
Speaker 5 (20:26):
OK. So I let him take me and Browden down
at headquarters and fingerprints will.
Speaker 4 (20:29):
Prove he's the guy.
Speaker 1 (20:30):
One thing more, Woody, why haven't you said this before?
Even after you thought Broughton killed your girlfriend, you kept quiet.
Speaker 5 (20:37):
I didn't know that he'd done it, did I? And besides,
keeping quiet has paid off pretty good for me.
Speaker 4 (20:42):
I mean, you've been blackmailing Broughton.
Speaker 5 (20:44):
Yeah, I've been shaking him down for plenty, But I
sure ain't gonna go to the chair for him.
Speaker 1 (20:49):
No, you're not.
Speaker 4 (20:50):
You're going to the chair for your own crimes, not his.
Speaker 6 (20:52):
Huh.
Speaker 4 (20:53):
You've just supplied the one thing that was lacking.
Speaker 1 (20:55):
Woody, I'm morial you killed Haley and miss Latour because
of either of them had exposed browden, but put and
then to your little blackmail record.
Speaker 5 (21:02):
That's crazy. You can't prove nothing like that.
Speaker 1 (21:04):
I think I can. Mister Tour said that no one
could go near Bungo but you and her.
Speaker 5 (21:08):
Oh, I've not gotta do with it.
Speaker 1 (21:09):
They killer had to bring Haley's body through this case,
but Bongo was chained up where he could reach the door,
and anybody who came through it. You had to drive
me away yourself a minute to go to get in here.
It's a sense that mister Tour didn't kill Haley and
the murder herself, so that leaves only.
Speaker 5 (21:22):
You, Okay, smart guy. So you think Bango would have
torn anybody apart the game here here except me and
little Well, I'm gonna show.
Speaker 1 (21:29):
It at you're right, get behind me wheel.
Speaker 2 (21:45):
Even as Nick practically pulls the trigger, he knows that
Threevolva bullets can never stop the five hundred pound gorilla
charging furiously caught him and Patty. We'll see what happens
in just a moment. Now for the conclusion of the case,
of the Midway Murders. Today's Adventure with Nick Carter brought
(22:06):
to you by new post war old Dutch cleanser. In
the gorilla's cage to the idle Our Amusement Park, Nick
and Patsy realize that revolver bullets may slow up the
attacking monster. Never stop it.
Speaker 6 (22:18):
That whole cage, but the bars miss.
Speaker 4 (22:19):
They hurried.
Speaker 1 (22:27):
Guerrillas who pigs the squeeze through that hole. I still
have a couple of bullets left.
Speaker 4 (22:34):
Do you take another step?
Speaker 1 (22:35):
I'm gonnahoot and tell him I've got this for what
he reeves where he'll be for some time to come
behind bar targeant Eh Henry glad it's over. Ever since
(23:02):
I escaped from the penitentiary, I've been living in fear
paying blackmail.
Speaker 4 (23:07):
Yeah, it must have been pretty rugged, Browden. Maybe i'd
better call you, lester her after I finished my sentence.
I can really be free.
Speaker 1 (23:14):
You've been a pretty good citizen in these past twelve years, Broaden.
I think the pardon board may take that into.
Speaker 3 (23:18):
Consideration, especially since it was your first offense.
Speaker 1 (23:21):
Whether they do or not, I'm glad I concleared George Haley.
If haven't had anything to do with the break. Believe me,
he didn't know a thing about it.
Speaker 4 (23:29):
I never thought he did.
Speaker 1 (23:31):
But mister Carter, why did you believe I was innocent
of killing George after you found out that I was
Joe Lester. Why when I first mentioned that George was
on Lester's trail, Surprise and shock was written all.
Speaker 4 (23:42):
Over your face. But that's what I mean. I must
have looked guilty.
Speaker 1 (23:45):
You did, and I figured you either were Lester or
knew something about him. But if you had killed Haley
for that reason, you wouldn't have been surprised.
Speaker 3 (23:52):
Yeah, you know. There's also one thing that's bothering me.
Speaker 4 (23:55):
Nick, What Betsy?
Speaker 8 (23:56):
How could Wood he have been so sure Haley's body
would be thrown out of the roller, so that his
death would look like an accident.
Speaker 4 (24:02):
But he didn't plan it that way. His only idea
was to get rid of the body.
Speaker 1 (24:06):
Oh, by the way, mister Brown, you'll be glad to
hear that the vet saysure Gorilla isn't seriously wounded.
Speaker 4 (24:11):
That's good.
Speaker 1 (24:11):
How I only fired at his legs hoping to stop him.
I didn't want to kill him. Yeah, but there will
be any more beauty in The Beast Show without miss
Laturu here in the cage where you, Oh, I don't know,
maybe Patsy'd like the job. Well, you've already made one appearance.
Speaker 8 (24:23):
In this case, I've made two appearances, Nick, my first
and my last.
Speaker 4 (24:29):
Belief.
Speaker 9 (24:29):
Nick.

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
