Real quick.

00:01:23,080 --> 00:01:26,360
The number one artist in the world!

4
00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:39,480
That level of megastardom
is not healthy.

5
00:01:39,480 --> 00:01:41,280
People are not gods.

6
00:01:49,680 --> 00:01:52,360
Tonight, Jackson is wanted by police

7
00:01:52,360 --> 00:01:55,960
of multiple felony counts
of child molestation.

in Michael Jackson.

11
00:02:32,200 --> 00:02:35,320
Together,
they could make $1 billion.

A projected $1 billion

plus feature films,
videos and video games.

16
00:03:01,360 --> 00:03:03,400
Michael, in the 1980s,

17
00:03:03,400 --> 00:03:06,720
you had the largest selling album
in history with Thriller.

We're prouder than ever to have you
part of the Sony Music family.

The thrilling fact is that the best

He was the guy.

I don't know any other way
to describe it.

26
00:03:32,520 --> 00:03:34,400
I mean, we all lived through it.

And when you're working
<font color="

00:03:58,080 --> 00:04:02,040
you want Michael Jackson to succeed.

Michael! Michael!

My name is Rosibel Smith,

37
00:04:10,720 --> 00:04:15,120
and for 31 years I was employed by
the Los Angeles Police Department.

38
00:04:16,800 --> 00:04:18,600
In 1993,

39
00:04:18,600 --> 00:04:21,080
while working juvenile division
<font color="

40
00:04:21,080 --> 00:04:23,360
I was working the
Sexually Exploited Child Unit.

41
00:04:23,360 --> 00:04:25,000
I was advised by my supervisor,

42
00:04:25,000 --> 00:04:27,640
who was the officer
in charge of the unit,

43
00:04:27,640 --> 00:04:31,720
that a case had come in involving
a young boy,

44
00:04:31,720 --> 00:04:33,880
who was 13 years of age,

45
00:04:33,880 --> 00:04:37,400
<font color="
was Michael Jackson.

46
00:04:37,400 --> 00:04:40,880
I was a little, um, in disbelief

47
00:04:40,880 --> 00:04:43,600
that it was Michael Jackson
doing this,

48
00:04:43,600 --> 00:04:46,360
because I grew up watching
Michael Jackson,

49
00:04:46,360 --> 00:04:49,480
I knew the Jackson 5 cartoons
when I was a kid,

CROWD SHOUTS AND SCREAMS

52
00:04:56,280 --> 00:04:58,000
But we had a job to do,

53
00:04:58,000 --> 00:05:00,840
and that job was to go out
and just handle it

54
00:05:00,840 --> 00:05:02,920
just like any other case
at that time.

55
00:05:05,520 --> 00:05:10,200
Our role was to find out
if Mr Jackson

56
00:05:10,200 --> 00:05:12,920
<font color="

57
00:05:12,920 --> 00:05:15,920
sexual molestation against children.

58
00:05:15,920 --> 00:05:18,080
And on the same token,

59
00:05:18,080 --> 00:05:23,160
we have to find out if the children,

60
00:05:23,160 --> 00:05:24,880
they were telling the truth.

61
00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:30,920
We had to interview the victim.

62
00:05:36,160 --> 00:05:39,000
The victim had actually met
Michael Jackson at a restaurant.

63
00:05:39,000 --> 00:05:40,320
<font color="

64
00:05:42,440 --> 00:05:44,600
Then years later,

65
00:05:44,600 --> 00:05:48,360
that relationship grew
and they began to visit each other.

66
00:05:51,080 --> 00:05:56,280
The victim was alleging
that Michael would oftentimes

67
00:05:56,280 --> 00:05:59,080
rub his body against his body.

68
00:05:59,080 --> 00:06:04,080
He alleged that Michael Jackson
<font color="

69
00:06:04,080 --> 00:06:05,440
One...

70
00:06:05,440 --> 00:06:10,160
He alleged that Michael liked
to have his nipples

71
00:06:10,160 --> 00:06:11,880
rubbed, squeezed.

72
00:06:13,200 --> 00:06:14,640
Kissing.

73
00:06:14,640 --> 00:06:17,640
Then they had graduated
to oral copulation,

74
00:06:17,640 --> 00:06:19,000
they bathed together

75
00:06:19,000 --> 00:06:21,960
<font color="

76
00:06:21,960 --> 00:06:24,720
Michael Jackson consumed his semen.

77
00:06:33,080 --> 00:06:36,240
We had heard on the grapevine
that there were these

78
00:06:36,240 --> 00:06:38,120
allegations circulating.

79
00:06:40,160 --> 00:06:42,800
And it was a shock to everybody.

80
00:06:42,800 --> 00:06:45,320
Yeah, we knew he was hanging
with kids,

81
00:06:45,320 --> 00:06:47,640
<font color="

82
00:06:47,640 --> 00:06:49,560
and I saw that it was
completely innocent.

CHILD SHOUTS, MICHAEL LAUGHS

84
00:06:51,320 --> 00:06:53,720
I saw he was playing games
with them.

85
00:06:53,720 --> 00:06:56,360
I saw the kids wanting
to hang with him.

86
00:06:56,360 --> 00:06:58,200
Quicksand up ahead!

87
00:07:00,760 --> 00:07:03,520
<font color="
weren't true.

88
00:07:05,480 --> 00:07:09,000
The feeling was
trying to contain it.

89
00:07:09,000 --> 00:07:11,560
Obviously, we were thinking of,
you know,

90
00:07:11,560 --> 00:07:13,720
the immediate impact on the tour

91
00:07:13,720 --> 00:07:16,600
because you got to keep
the business going, the tour going,

92
00:07:16,600 --> 00:07:19,160
<font color="
and the impact of that.

93
00:07:19,160 --> 00:07:21,480
So it was pretty...
It was pretty tense.

94
00:07:21,480 --> 00:07:25,120
We went into crisis mode, both
with our team and the PR team.

95
00:07:27,760 --> 00:07:30,440
But ultimately,
the story was so huge

96
00:07:30,440 --> 00:07:32,880
it was going to get out
<font color="

97
00:07:32,880 --> 00:07:34,520
There was no stopping it.

98
00:07:39,880 --> 00:07:42,680
In Southern California, the press,
police, lawyers

99
00:07:42,680 --> 00:07:46,080
and private investigators are in
orbit tonight over an investigation

100
00:07:46,080 --> 00:07:49,960
of child abuse allegations
involving superstar Michael Jackson.

101
00:07:49,960 --> 00:07:52,800
<font color="
Michael Jackson this morning

102
00:07:52,800 --> 00:07:55,280
and Los Angeles Police
aren't saying much.

103
00:07:55,280 --> 00:07:58,520
But they have confirmed reports
of a criminal investigation

104
00:07:58,520 --> 00:07:59,840
of the pop superstar.

105
00:07:59,840 --> 00:08:02,040
All hell broke loose.

106
00:08:02,040 --> 00:08:04,480
Television station
<font color="

107
00:08:04,480 --> 00:08:07,600
first broke the story last night,
saying that a mother had alleged

108
00:08:07,600 --> 00:08:09,640
Jackson abused her child.

109
00:08:09,640 --> 00:08:13,760
August 17th, the Los Angeles
Police Department initiated

110
00:08:13,760 --> 00:08:17,800
a criminal investigation
of entertainer Michael Jackson.

<font color="

112
00:08:21,080 --> 00:08:23,440
the top story was Michael Jackson.

Confidential documents
obtained by NBC News

114
00:08:26,000 --> 00:08:30,080
quoted the boy's reference to acts

He'd need a trial.

These people aren't waiting.
They're trying to...

Trying to... They're trying him.

127
00:08:57,640 --> 00:09:00,280
That's right. And I'm tired of it.

CROWD CHANTS: Open the window!
<font color="

129
00:09:22,880 --> 00:09:25,680
Everything was suddenly bad.

130
00:09:28,680 --> 00:09:30,960
Everything was, um...

131
00:09:32,120 --> 00:09:33,240
..emotional.

132
00:09:34,520 --> 00:09:37,760
Talking to Michael was different
because he was different.

133
00:09:37,760 --> 00:09:41,680
Suddenly, he was no longer the happy
Michael that I used to talk to.

134
00:09:41,680 --> 00:09:43,880
He sounded depressed.

135
00:09:43,880 --> 00:09:47,720
<font color="
was no way he could come back

136
00:09:47,720 --> 00:09:50,480
from these terrible things
being said.

137
00:10:18,600 --> 00:10:22,240
Eventually he came back to America.

138
00:10:25,400 --> 00:10:28,080
We had the information
from the victim about

139
00:10:28,080 --> 00:10:31,360
Michael's body,

140
00:10:31,360 --> 00:10:35,360
and specifically the markings
<font color="

141
00:10:35,360 --> 00:10:39,640
So the only way that a child
would see that

142
00:10:39,640 --> 00:10:42,400
is if Michael was nude.

143
00:10:42,400 --> 00:10:45,640
Then our unit prepared
a search warrant to search

144
00:10:45,640 --> 00:10:48,040
or to view Michael's body,

145
00:10:48,040 --> 00:10:50,440
and this included the genitals.

146
00:10:50,440 --> 00:10:55,240
We explained to him, we have a
<font color="

147
00:10:55,240 --> 00:10:59,040
to take pictures
of your private parts.

148
00:10:59,040 --> 00:11:02,280
He said, "You assholes".

149
00:11:02,280 --> 00:11:05,200
The outcome

150
00:11:05,200 --> 00:11:08,920
was that evidence that was provided

151
00:11:08,920 --> 00:11:11,200
by Jordan Chandler...

152
00:11:12,480 --> 00:11:13,840
..it was confirmed.

Yeah, we'd like to talk to
Michael Jackson. Has he come back?

00:11:22,840 --> 00:11:25,120
I have no comment, sir.
No comment, huh?

156
00:11:25,120 --> 00:11:27,360
I don't necessarily think
he's guilty,

157
00:11:27,360 --> 00:11:29,800
but I don't necessarily think
<font color="

158
00:11:29,800 --> 00:11:32,120
because I don't know.

159
00:11:32,120 --> 00:11:33,680
Well, I don't know
if he's guilty or not,

160
00:11:33,680 --> 00:11:35,840
but I think that he needs
to come back and face the charges.

161
00:11:35,840 --> 00:11:37,560
He's looking pretty guilty
right now.

When the allegations surfaced...

170
00:12:12,160 --> 00:12:14,920
..I read them, watched them on TV,

171
00:12:14,920 --> 00:12:16,640
like everyone else did...

172
00:12:18,920 --> 00:12:22,360
..and I felt that they were
<font color="

173
00:12:22,360 --> 00:12:26,000
Michael Jackson was unequivocally

174
00:12:26,000 --> 00:12:28,800
the biggest artist in the company.

175
00:12:30,560 --> 00:12:32,960
And if he's not succeeding...

176
00:12:35,120 --> 00:12:37,440
..guess what? Jobs get lost.

177
00:12:38,960 --> 00:12:41,320

going to make any statement?

He's got a whole cadre

00:12:51,320 --> 00:12:53,880
Up to that point,
Michael had been laying low.

181
00:12:54,880 --> 00:12:57,640
But once the allegations
are out there,

182
00:12:57,640 --> 00:12:59,880
you can't take them back again.

183
00:13:01,560 --> 00:13:04,520
And so we needed to get him
in front of the public

184
00:13:04,520 --> 00:13:07,080
<font color="
deny these allegations.

185
00:13:09,480 --> 00:13:12,040
Michael Jackson came out
of seclusion today

186
00:13:12,040 --> 00:13:13,400
without leaving home.

187
00:13:13,400 --> 00:13:17,480
The pop star angrily rejected
accusations he molested a young boy

188
00:13:17,480 --> 00:13:19,480
and lashed out at police
and the media.

189
00:13:19,480 --> 00:13:23,760
<font color="
disgusting statements

190
00:13:23,760 --> 00:13:26,280
made recently concerning allegations

191
00:13:26,280 --> 00:13:28,280
of improper conduct on my part.

192
00:13:28,280 --> 00:13:31,320
These statements about me
are totally false.

193
00:13:31,320 --> 00:13:34,160
At every opportunity,
the media has dissected

194
00:13:34,160 --> 00:13:38,440
and manipulated these allegations
<font color="

195
00:13:38,440 --> 00:13:41,360
I ask all of you to wait
and hear the truth

196
00:13:41,360 --> 00:13:43,320
before you label or condemn me.

197
00:13:43,320 --> 00:13:46,600
Don't treat me like a criminal
because I am innocent.

198
00:13:48,160 --> 00:13:50,840
Jackson's defiant declaration
of innocence

199
00:13:50,840 --> 00:13:53,280
comes as the latest counterpoint
<font color="

200
00:13:53,280 --> 00:13:55,960
that's saturated with rumour,
hinting

201
00:13:55,960 --> 00:13:59,160
and almost daily revelations
about the singer.

202
00:13:59,160 --> 00:14:02,200
Separating fact from fiction
can be difficult.

203
00:14:16,160 --> 00:14:18,840
For years I have been working
for Michael,

204
00:14:18,840 --> 00:14:21,720
<font color="
victim of this and other types

205
00:14:21,720 --> 00:14:23,720
of extortion attempts.

206
00:14:23,720 --> 00:14:27,720
The demand for $20 million was made
and presented.

207
00:14:27,720 --> 00:14:30,480
It was flatly
and consistently refused.

208
00:14:30,480 --> 00:14:34,200
Many people try to extort Michael
because of who he is

209
00:14:34,200 --> 00:14:35,840
<font color="
the amount of money he has.

210
00:14:35,840 --> 00:14:37,960
And these people wanted $20 million.

211
00:14:37,960 --> 00:14:40,320
As far as the victim is concerned,

212
00:14:40,320 --> 00:14:46,160
I did not get anything as far as
any, like, money motivation.

213
00:14:46,160 --> 00:14:49,400
However, the parents
were a different story.

214
00:14:49,400 --> 00:14:52,080
<font color="
an entertainment trade paper,

215
00:14:52,080 --> 00:14:55,600
said today that the boy's father
had negotiated with Jackson

216
00:14:55,600 --> 00:14:57,640
for a $20 million movie deal.

217
00:14:57,640 --> 00:15:00,520
The father is a prominent
Beverly Hills dentist

218
00:15:00,520 --> 00:15:02,360
and part-time screenwriter.

219
00:15:02,360 --> 00:15:05,720
<font color="
phone conversation.

220
00:15:05,720 --> 00:15:08,920
The voice is reportedly the father
of the 13-year-old boy.

221
00:15:13,320 --> 00:15:17,520
The father did in fact ask for money

222
00:15:17,520 --> 00:15:19,720
to keep the situation quiet.

223
00:15:19,720 --> 00:15:21,160
So it did...

224
00:15:22,360 --> 00:15:24,000
..hurt the case a little bit.

225
00:15:24,000 --> 00:15:27,720
<font color="
would go after someone like

226
00:15:27,720 --> 00:15:30,960
Michael Jackson with such vigour,
and it's obvious what they want.

227
00:15:30,960 --> 00:15:33,600
And it seems obvious to me
that he is innocent.

228
00:15:33,600 --> 00:15:36,200
I know that there's a lot of people
in this business that try

229
00:15:36,200 --> 00:15:39,120
<font color="
you know,

230
00:15:39,120 --> 00:15:40,720
I'm sure that it will all work out.

231
00:15:40,720 --> 00:15:42,520
And I'm sure that he's innocent,
you know?

232
00:15:42,520 --> 00:15:44,840
But only God knows the truth,
you know?

233
00:15:44,840 --> 00:15:46,880
CROWD SCREAMS AND CHEERS

234
00:15:48,800 --> 00:15:52,080
More and more, people started
<font color="

235
00:15:54,320 --> 00:15:58,080
So the management team started
capitalising on that momentum.

236
00:16:00,040 --> 00:16:03,240
The main strategy was to, um,

237
00:16:03,240 --> 00:16:05,960
endear Michael

238
00:16:05,960 --> 00:16:08,040
to the black community

239
00:16:08,040 --> 00:16:11,040
and to get the black community
back on Michael's side.

240
00:16:11,040 --> 00:16:14,680
<font color="
behind you, you got it

241
00:16:14,680 --> 00:16:17,640
because, you know, we're a big group

242
00:16:17,640 --> 00:16:21,720
and race relations at that time,

243
00:16:21,720 --> 00:16:23,480
it was a hotbed.

244
00:16:23,480 --> 00:16:25,640
SIRENS WAIL

245
00:16:28,080 --> 00:16:31,120
NEWS PRESENTER: Parts of Los Angeles
erupted in unrest

246
00:16:31,120 --> 00:16:35,320
<font color="
Los Angeles police officers

247
00:16:35,320 --> 00:16:39,160
over the videotaped beating
of Rodney King, a black motorist.

248
00:16:42,200 --> 00:16:45,480
SHOUTING, SIRENS WAIL

249
00:16:50,280 --> 00:16:53,840
What happened with Rodney King,
it doesn't make no sense to me.

250
00:16:53,840 --> 00:16:56,360
They treating black people
<font color="

251
00:16:56,360 --> 00:16:57,920
Like, we can't get nowhere.

252
00:16:57,920 --> 00:17:01,400
We have no rights
that the white man respect.

253
00:17:01,400 --> 00:17:03,800
TV COMMENTARY:
Race is tearing America apart.

254
00:17:06,160 --> 00:17:08,720
Now, more than ever,
minority Americans believe

255
00:17:08,720 --> 00:17:10,560
there are two kinds of justice -

256
00:17:10,560 --> 00:17:13,960
<font color="
and the kind they get.

257
00:17:17,200 --> 00:17:21,720
Someone was friends with this
African-American attorney

258
00:17:21,720 --> 00:17:23,160
named Johnnie Cochran.

259
00:17:23,160 --> 00:17:26,880
And so he suggested that Johnnie
would be the best person

260
00:17:26,880 --> 00:17:29,440
for Michael's case,

261
00:17:29,440 --> 00:17:34,400
not only because he's black,
<font color="

262
00:17:34,400 --> 00:17:36,920
Mr Cochran, let me start with you.
Why do you think it was important

263
00:17:36,920 --> 00:17:38,920
for Michael Jackson
to speak out now?

264
00:17:38,920 --> 00:17:42,600
Well, I think, Katie, that after
months of being barraged

265
00:17:42,600 --> 00:17:45,680
with negative attacks,
it was time.

266
00:17:45,680 --> 00:17:50,720
<font color="
knew that having a black face

267
00:17:50,720 --> 00:17:54,640
as the front man
for the defence would, um...

268
00:17:55,960 --> 00:18:00,160
..bring the black community
to Michael's defence as well.

269
00:18:00,160 --> 00:18:02,240
APPLAUSE

270
00:18:02,240 --> 00:18:05,920
The king of pop, rock and soul -
Mr Michael Jackson.

271
00:18:05,920 --> 00:18:08,720
<font color="

272
00:18:08,720 --> 00:18:11,720
Michael's first public appearance
after his statement

273
00:18:11,720 --> 00:18:16,240
about the allegations was
at the NAACP Image Awards,

274
00:18:16,240 --> 00:18:18,280
and that's the National Association

275
00:18:18,280 --> 00:18:20,840
for the Advancement
of Colored People.

276
00:18:20,840 --> 00:18:24,000
APPLAUSE

277
00:18:25,160 --> 00:18:29,720
<font color="
walked out on that stage.

278
00:18:29,720 --> 00:18:32,200
The house went crazy.

279
00:18:34,160 --> 00:18:36,240
Everyone was in support of Michael.

280
00:18:36,240 --> 00:18:38,920
No-one wanted to believe
these allegations.

281
00:18:41,080 --> 00:18:45,320
For decades, the NAACP had stood
at the forefront

282
00:18:45,320 --> 00:18:48,520
<font color="
under the law

283
00:18:48,520 --> 00:18:50,400
for all people in our land.

284
00:18:50,400 --> 00:18:55,120
And his speech was based on being
a proud black man

285
00:18:55,120 --> 00:18:58,480
and how, you know, we have
to stick together

286
00:18:58,480 --> 00:19:02,040
against racial inequality
and injustice.

287
00:19:03,400 --> 00:19:06,240
<font color="
and totally innocent

288
00:19:06,240 --> 00:19:08,520
until they are charged
with a crime

289
00:19:08,520 --> 00:19:11,240
and then convicted
by a jury of their peers.

290
00:19:11,240 --> 00:19:13,280
RAPTUROUS APPLAUSE

291
00:19:22,080 --> 00:19:24,120
It was such a powerful speech.

292
00:19:31,720 --> 00:19:35,920
With all of the stuff that was
<font color="

293
00:19:38,600 --> 00:19:42,640
..it felt like Michael's innocence
was important

294
00:19:42,640 --> 00:19:44,920
and it was what we needed.

295
00:19:51,560 --> 00:19:54,600
Everybody wanted him
to be back on top.

296
00:20:05,920 --> 00:20:08,720
The family of a teenage boy
is dropping its charge

297
00:20:08,720 --> 00:20:11,320
that Michael Jackson
<font color="

298
00:20:11,320 --> 00:20:13,880
Larry Carroll tells us
the civil suit is now over.

299
00:20:20,120 --> 00:20:25,000
We wish to jointly announce
a mutual resolution of this lawsuit.

300
00:20:25,000 --> 00:20:28,200
This boy wanted to get on
with his life.

301
00:20:29,920 --> 00:20:33,160
When that case was settled,

302
00:20:33,160 --> 00:20:39,160
and I believe that the pay-out
<font color="

303
00:20:39,160 --> 00:20:41,640
or maybe a little
more over $20 million,

304
00:20:41,640 --> 00:20:44,440
the family accepted the settlement.

305
00:20:44,440 --> 00:20:49,720
The resolution of this case is
in no way an admission of guilt

306
00:20:49,720 --> 00:20:51,440
by Michael Jackson.

307
00:20:51,440 --> 00:20:54,600
Being a megastar like he was,

308
00:20:54,600 --> 00:20:59,840
<font color="
with attorneys,

309
00:20:59,840 --> 00:21:03,240
with really coming out and doing
pretty much whatever he wanted

310
00:21:03,240 --> 00:21:04,960
in order to defend himself.

311
00:21:06,400 --> 00:21:08,680
So that was pretty much
the end of our case.

312
00:21:10,480 --> 00:21:13,920
I felt bad because Rosie and I,

313
00:21:13,920 --> 00:21:16,880
we were certain
<font color="

314
00:21:16,880 --> 00:21:20,760
but when the victim
doesn't want to testify...

315
00:21:22,080 --> 00:21:25,280
..there is a saying that says
"no victim, no crime."

316
00:21:27,120 --> 00:21:29,880
So, nothing that we could do.

317
00:21:36,400 --> 00:21:40,360
Read all about it!
Hollywood sex scandals!

318
00:21:40,360 --> 00:21:43,000

Loni Anderson says,
"Burt's a dud in bed."

321
00:21:50,240 --> 00:21:52,400
Uh-oh!

322
00:21:52,400 --> 00:21:55,120
In this billion dollar business,
there's only one story

323
00:21:55,120 --> 00:21:59,040
that's guaranteed -
a big name in trouble.

324
00:21:59,040 --> 00:22:00,760
That's the best news of all.

325
00:22:00,760 --> 00:22:04,720
<font color="
grabbing the headlines right now

326
00:22:04,720 --> 00:22:08,040
are the allegations
about Michael Jackson,

327
00:22:08,040 --> 00:22:10,440
the biggest superstar in the world.

328
00:22:10,440 --> 00:22:13,480
Michael Jackson is our window
into the new news business

329
00:22:13,480 --> 00:22:16,880
and the magazine shows, talk shows,
<font color="

330
00:22:16,880 --> 00:22:19,000
that feed off tabloid truth.

331
00:22:19,000 --> 00:22:20,640
Michael Jackson,

332
00:22:20,640 --> 00:22:22,120
violator or victim?

333
00:22:23,520 --> 00:22:25,640
What do you think about Michael?
Well...

334
00:22:26,800 --> 00:22:29,440
No, I think it's true.
He settled for all that money.

335
00:22:29,440 --> 00:22:31,280
Yeah. He settled for all that
<font color="

336
00:22:31,280 --> 00:22:33,920
I think something's up when
he settles for over $10 million

337
00:22:33,920 --> 00:22:35,360
to shut someone up.

338
00:22:35,360 --> 00:22:37,800
I don't know, it's a shame, because
I think Michael has been dragged

339
00:22:37,800 --> 00:22:40,960
through the mud a lot. You know,
I don't know if he's a victim

340
00:22:40,960 --> 00:22:44,720
<font color="
he's lost that wholesome image

341
00:22:44,720 --> 00:22:45,960
forever, you know?

342
00:22:49,520 --> 00:22:53,960
The allegations really changed how
the public, I think, thought of him.

343
00:22:55,320 --> 00:22:59,200
And Michael had to kind of
rehabilitate that image.

344
00:23:04,360 --> 00:23:08,720
People had been obsessed with
<font color="

345
00:23:10,880 --> 00:23:15,600
And his managers thought it would
be cool if the press found out

346
00:23:15,600 --> 00:23:17,200
that Michael had a girlfriend.

347
00:23:28,200 --> 00:23:30,360
Michael and Lisa started dating

348
00:23:30,360 --> 00:23:32,960
soon after the allegations
had been settled.

349
00:23:37,840 --> 00:23:41,240
Michael Joseph Jackson.
<font color="

350
00:23:42,280 --> 00:23:45,240
He knew that marrying
Elvis Presley's daughter

351
00:23:45,240 --> 00:23:47,640
would be headlines everywhere.

352
00:23:47,640 --> 00:23:49,680
Everyone would be talking
about that,

353
00:23:49,680 --> 00:23:53,920
and they'd no longer talk about
this horrible time in his life.

354
00:23:53,920 --> 00:23:55,920
With this ring I do wed.

355
00:23:55,920 --> 00:23:57,520
<font color="

356
00:23:57,520 --> 00:23:59,040
You've heard the talk for weeks.

357
00:23:59,040 --> 00:24:01,600
It's surprising and
it's apparently true.

358
00:24:01,600 --> 00:24:03,720
The daughter of Elvis Presley
confirms today

359
00:24:03,720 --> 00:24:05,840
she is now married
to Michael Jackson.

360
00:24:05,840 --> 00:24:08,800
Let's go to Vince Dementri
<font color="

361
00:24:08,800 --> 00:24:12,760
John, hopefully you can see
behind me the throngs of stargazers

362
00:24:12,760 --> 00:24:15,840
right behind me. We are just
outside of the world-famous

363
00:24:15,840 --> 00:24:19,080
Trump Tower, where Donald Trump
tells us, yes, indeed,

364
00:24:19,080 --> 00:24:21,520
that Lisa Marie Presley
and her new beau,

365
00:24:21,520 --> 00:24:24,200
<font color="
on the top floor.

366
00:24:24,200 --> 00:24:26,240
Well, I'm very, very happy for them.

367
00:24:26,240 --> 00:24:28,000
I think it's great.

368
00:24:28,000 --> 00:24:29,440
They're very happy

369
00:24:29,440 --> 00:24:31,760
and I think everybody's happy.

370
00:24:31,760 --> 00:24:33,080
They're great people.

371
00:24:37,080 --> 00:24:40,000
I first met Michael in 1988.

372
00:24:41,560 --> 00:24:44,720
<font color="
at that time.

373
00:24:44,720 --> 00:24:48,120
And so they called me and said
Michael is a big fan of mine

374
00:24:48,120 --> 00:24:50,040
and he would love to meet me.

375
00:24:50,040 --> 00:24:52,240
And we hit it off.

376
00:24:53,280 --> 00:24:55,200
And he got to know the whole family.

377
00:24:57,160 --> 00:25:00,640
I also knew Lisa Marie Presley

378
00:25:00,640 --> 00:25:03,040
<font color="
in Los Angeles.

379
00:25:04,040 --> 00:25:06,560
So I knew them separately.

380
00:25:06,560 --> 00:25:09,680
And then later Lisa came to me
one day and said,

381
00:25:09,680 --> 00:25:12,000
"Look, Michael is hitting on me

382
00:25:12,000 --> 00:25:14,120
"and he actually
wants to marry me.

383
00:25:14,120 --> 00:25:16,000
"What do you think?
<font color="

384
00:25:16,000 --> 00:25:17,800
So I said, "Go for it."

385
00:25:17,800 --> 00:25:20,320
For him, it was also he liked Lisa

386
00:25:20,320 --> 00:25:23,520
because she was the daughter
of The King.

387
00:25:23,520 --> 00:25:26,160
So he was also a king -
King of Pop, yeah?

388
00:25:26,160 --> 00:25:28,400
CHEERING

389
00:25:34,720 --> 00:25:36,480
This is a big deal.

390
00:25:36,480 --> 00:25:40,520
<font color="
with a woman like this.

391
00:25:40,520 --> 00:25:42,000
Ever.

392
00:25:42,000 --> 00:25:43,720
I'm very happy to be here.

393
00:25:45,160 --> 00:25:48,840
And just think,
nobody thought this would last.

394
00:25:48,840 --> 00:25:50,600
LAUGHTER, APPLAUSE

395
00:25:52,680 --> 00:25:55,120
EXUBERANT CHEERING

396
00:25:57,880 --> 00:26:00,920
It did work in the way
<font color="

397
00:26:00,920 --> 00:26:03,200
in that everyone was
talking about it.

398
00:26:05,000 --> 00:26:08,640
But at the same time the public
wasn't really buying it.

399
00:26:08,640 --> 00:26:10,040
It's all a cover-up.

400
00:26:10,040 --> 00:26:12,000
It's all a cover-up from
the little child thing.

401
00:26:12,000 --> 00:26:13,920
That's what I think it is,
<font color="

402
00:26:13,920 --> 00:26:16,160
You don't think it's true love?
No.

403
00:26:16,160 --> 00:26:17,920
I think it's a sham.

404
00:26:17,920 --> 00:26:21,720
Heterosexual marriage would
certainly take some of the heat off

405
00:26:21,720 --> 00:26:24,320
being accused of being
a homosexual paedophile.

406
00:26:24,320 --> 00:26:26,480
FANS SCREAM

407
00:26:28,040 --> 00:26:31,960
<font color="
together for around 18 months.

408
00:26:35,080 --> 00:26:38,280
It's splitsville
for Graceland and Neverland.

409
00:26:38,280 --> 00:26:40,560
Many of you may find this hard
to believe,

410
00:26:40,560 --> 00:26:44,240
but Lisa Marie Presley and Michael
Jackson are getting a divorce.

411
00:26:44,240 --> 00:26:48,640
<font color="
one is no longer the loved one.

412
00:26:48,640 --> 00:26:51,240
Oh, such a sad story.

413
00:26:51,240 --> 00:26:52,960
Sorry to hear that,
sorry to see that.

414
00:26:52,960 --> 00:26:54,400
What a shock, what a surprise.

415
00:26:57,680 --> 00:26:59,000
It was kind of hard to watch.

416
00:27:00,320 --> 00:27:03,560
He was trying to maintain
his position as like

417
00:27:03,560 --> 00:27:06,760
<font color="
in the world,

418
00:27:06,760 --> 00:27:08,280
and it wasn't quite working.

419
00:27:11,080 --> 00:27:15,160
This is a man who changed
the music industry.

420
00:27:15,160 --> 00:27:17,640
He is a musical genius.

421
00:27:18,960 --> 00:27:21,560
And people don't think of him
in that sense any more.

422
00:27:21,560 --> 00:27:23,040
They think of him as a freak.

423
00:27:24,280 --> 00:27:26,920
<font color="
himself out of this trough

424
00:27:26,920 --> 00:27:29,040
that he has largely dug for himself?

425
00:27:58,760 --> 00:28:01,560
When he was working on the
HIStory album,

426
00:28:01,560 --> 00:28:03,280
Michael called me and said,

427
00:28:03,280 --> 00:28:07,240
"Look, I want to use some of your
paintings for the artwork."

428
00:28:08,960 --> 00:28:13,480
<font color="
he really liked.

429
00:28:13,480 --> 00:28:18,240
And then spontaneously he wrote this
poem directly on the picture.

430
00:28:19,920 --> 00:28:24,680
"With such confusion, don't it
make you want to scream?

431
00:28:24,680 --> 00:28:27,840
"You try to cope with every lie

432
00:28:27,840 --> 00:28:29,680
"To scrutinise somebody

433
00:28:29,680 --> 00:28:31,760
<font color="

434
00:28:31,760 --> 00:28:34,120
"Because I just can't take it."

435
00:28:39,960 --> 00:28:42,640
If you listen to the lyrics
and the songs

436
00:28:42,640 --> 00:28:45,440
and the overall vibe of the tracks
on HIStory,

437
00:28:45,440 --> 00:28:49,000
they're very aggressive,
they're very defensive.

438
00:28:56,160 --> 00:28:59,200
Even the Scream video is very dark
<font color="

439
00:29:02,600 --> 00:29:05,640
Then for the HIStory album promo,

440
00:29:05,640 --> 00:29:08,200
Michael chose a dictator-esque
image.

441
00:29:09,480 --> 00:29:12,240
He's got these military troops
marching behind him

442
00:29:12,240 --> 00:29:14,120
and a godlike aura.

443
00:29:16,560 --> 00:29:18,360
That's what he wanted
to push out there.

444
00:29:18,360 --> 00:29:21,000
<font color="

445
00:29:21,000 --> 00:29:24,280
the biggest pop superstar
in the history of music.

446
00:29:25,600 --> 00:29:27,680
NEWS PRESENTER: Tower Bridge
was raised this afternoon

447
00:29:27,680 --> 00:29:30,560
to allow a 30 foot statue
of rock star Michael Jackson

448
00:29:30,560 --> 00:29:32,840
to pass along the Thames on a barge.

449
00:29:32,840 --> 00:29:35,040
<font color="

450
00:29:35,040 --> 00:29:36,400
I think it's brilliant.

451
00:29:36,400 --> 00:29:39,400
It's just the best thing that's
happened on the River Thames.

452
00:29:39,400 --> 00:29:41,680
He's a mega star, yeah,
they call him the King of Pop

453
00:29:41,680 --> 00:29:43,280
so if he can afford to do this,
why not?

454
00:29:46,040 --> 00:29:47,360
For the HIStory tour,

455
00:29:47,360 --> 00:29:50,360
<font color="
on his fan base abroad.

456
00:29:51,920 --> 00:29:56,560
And his popularity continued over
in Europe and the UK, Asia

457
00:29:56,560 --> 00:29:59,840
versus the US, where it was
kind of slipping a little bit

458
00:29:59,840 --> 00:30:03,120
because of the allegations and all
the media circus around that.

459
00:30:03,120 --> 00:30:06,240
<font color="

460
00:30:09,720 --> 00:30:11,720
CHANTING: Michael! Michael!

461
00:30:13,480 --> 00:30:16,360
It's like a dream come true.

462
00:30:16,360 --> 00:30:18,080
I touched him!

463
00:30:18,080 --> 00:30:19,920
I'm not going to wash my hand.

464
00:30:24,680 --> 00:30:28,240
I remember this one time I was
with Michael in Budapest...

465
00:30:29,760 --> 00:30:33,000
<font color="

466
00:30:33,000 --> 00:30:35,840
under siege by thousands
of young people.

467
00:30:35,840 --> 00:30:37,720
CHANTING AND CHEERING

468
00:30:41,160 --> 00:30:43,880
And what he did,
he'd draw a curtain a little bit,

469
00:30:43,880 --> 00:30:46,080
and then he had his glove on,

470
00:30:46,080 --> 00:30:50,040
and people screeched. It was like
an explosion down there.

471
00:30:50,040 --> 00:30:52,240
<font color="

472
00:30:54,800 --> 00:30:57,040
He was laughing and said,
"Oh, my God, look!

473
00:30:57,040 --> 00:30:58,480
"Did you hear? Do you hear?"

474
00:31:02,040 --> 00:31:04,240
SCREAMING

475
00:31:04,240 --> 00:31:07,560
I think there's a deep desire
to look up for people

476
00:31:07,560 --> 00:31:09,440
that are bigger than life, yeah?

477
00:31:09,440 --> 00:31:12,080
As role models or as somebody
<font color="

478
00:31:12,080 --> 00:31:15,920
I mean, I think
that's what mankind needs.

479
00:31:15,920 --> 00:31:17,680
But I think the danger is...

480
00:31:18,720 --> 00:31:21,840
..when everybody worships you,

481
00:31:21,840 --> 00:31:24,200
is that you start to believe it
in a way that

482
00:31:24,200 --> 00:31:27,240
you start to worship yourself,
and I think that's very dangerous.

483
00:31:28,800 --> 00:31:31,480
<font color="
Please, may I hug you?

484
00:31:31,480 --> 00:31:32,720

SHE CRIES: I love you.
I love you more.

486
00:31:35,800 --> 00:31:39,840
But he was enjoying that. He liked
to have that effect on people.

487
00:31:39,840 --> 00:31:41,080
Love you.

00:31:42,680 --> 00:31:44,840

When I met Michael,

507
00:33:24,440 --> 00:33:27,960
I saw that he was addicted to fame.

508
00:33:32,280 --> 00:33:34,400
I was a well-known rabbi

509
00:33:34,400 --> 00:33:36,640
and Michael and I had
become friends.

<font color="

511
00:33:40,240 --> 00:33:43,160
and he chose to be loved in...

512
00:33:43,160 --> 00:33:45,440
..really, in an unhealthy way,

513
00:33:45,440 --> 00:33:48,840
which was through superstardom

514
00:33:48,840 --> 00:33:51,120
and the devotion of fans.

515
00:33:51,120 --> 00:33:53,160
Sir, you're in the way!

516
00:33:58,080 --> 00:34:02,080
I said to him, "You've made the
mistake of substituting love

517
00:34:02,080 --> 00:34:05,240
<font color="
called attention.

518
00:34:07,320 --> 00:34:09,440
"And attention is never
a good substitute for love.

519
00:34:09,440 --> 00:34:10,680
"It's never real."

520
00:34:12,960 --> 00:34:16,080
This attention became an addiction

521
00:34:16,080 --> 00:34:17,600
because he interpreted it as love

522
00:34:17,600 --> 00:34:19,800
and it became a monster.

00:34:46,840 --> 00:34:49,240
He wanted every word

528
00:34:49,240 --> 00:34:51,160
recorded for posterity.

529
00:34:51,160 --> 00:34:54,760
We recorded it on these
two flimsy dicta machines,

530
00:34:54,760 --> 00:34:57,720
<font color="
tiny little tapes.

531
00:35:09,280 --> 00:35:12,040
CROWD CHANTS: Michael! Michael!
Michael! Michael!

532
00:35:24,080 --> 00:35:26,560
FANS SCREAM

533
00:35:41,000 --> 00:35:44,640
He needed something to live for.

534
00:35:44,640 --> 00:35:47,320
And as he explained it to me,

535
00:35:47,320 --> 00:35:49,240
he always wanted to be around kids.

536
00:35:49,240 --> 00:35:51,560
<font color="

537
00:35:51,560 --> 00:35:54,720
he loved the creativity of a child

538
00:35:54,720 --> 00:35:57,720
because for him, the adult world
was people wanting money from him

539
00:35:57,720 --> 00:36:01,480
and people wanting to know him
for all the wrong reasons.

540
00:36:04,680 --> 00:36:06,680
CHILDREN SHRIEK

541
00:36:09,480 --> 00:36:11,520
At that time in his life...

542
00:36:12,680 --> 00:36:16,200
<font color="
wanted to be a father.

543
00:36:18,160 --> 00:36:20,320
CHILDREN SCREAM

544
00:36:20,320 --> 00:36:24,120
Because kids, as long as you
give them unconditional love,

545
00:36:24,120 --> 00:36:25,960
they really give it back.

546
00:36:25,960 --> 00:36:28,280
They are mirror reflections
of the love that we give them.

547
00:36:28,280 --> 00:36:30,760
And he was going to give them
<font color="

548
00:36:30,760 --> 00:36:32,440
And that's what happened.

549
00:36:45,360 --> 00:36:46,760
Ooh!

550
00:36:46,760 --> 00:36:49,600
Something to wear tonight.
Teletubbies.

551
00:36:49,600 --> 00:36:50,960
Who's that?

552
00:36:51,960 --> 00:36:54,040
Lala. That's right, it's Lala.

553
00:37:06,800 --> 00:37:10,240
I think having children gave him
a renewed sense of purpose,

554
00:37:10,240 --> 00:37:13,560
<font color="
and direction.

555
00:37:13,560 --> 00:37:14,800
That's cute.

556
00:37:17,720 --> 00:37:19,880
BABY WHIMPERS

557
00:37:22,240 --> 00:37:25,040
That's a great shot.
It is. It is.

558
00:37:27,120 --> 00:37:28,440
It's OK.

559
00:37:34,640 --> 00:37:37,760
MICHAEL JACKSON: I want to be
successful at being a great father.

560
00:37:39,960 --> 00:37:43,880
I want... I want them
<font color="

561
00:37:43,880 --> 00:37:45,680
and he was, like, incredible.

562
00:37:48,000 --> 00:37:51,440
That's my biggest dreams,
one day for Prince and Paris

563
00:37:51,440 --> 00:37:54,480
just to say to somebody,
"He was the best dad."

564
00:37:55,640 --> 00:37:57,320
One, two, three.

565
00:37:57,320 --> 00:37:59,600
ALL: Surprise!

566
00:37:59,600 --> 00:38:01,320
Whoo!

567
00:38:01,320 --> 00:38:03,280
<font color="

568
00:38:03,280 --> 00:38:06,520


569
00:38:06,520 --> 00:38:10,360


570
00:38:10,360 --> 00:38:13,480
I'd been working with Michael
for four years

571
00:38:13,480 --> 00:38:16,160
by the time he had his children.

572
00:38:18,960 --> 00:38:20,840
When Prince and Paris came along...

573
00:38:22,440 --> 00:38:25,880
..I saw a different,
a different person.

574
00:38:28,960 --> 00:38:31,880
<font color="
point at the camera like this?

575
00:38:31,880 --> 00:38:33,520
OK. All of us.

576
00:38:33,520 --> 00:38:37,000
His life was now about the children.

577
00:38:37,000 --> 00:38:39,320
That was his priority.

578
00:38:41,400 --> 00:38:44,440
And he was getting more and more

579
00:38:44,440 --> 00:38:47,960
absolutely clear about his future.

580
00:38:47,960 --> 00:38:49,280
He was saying, "Dieter"...

581
00:38:51,000 --> 00:38:54,920
<font color="
in my life for the music,

582
00:38:54,920 --> 00:38:58,160
"and I think I did it well,
and everybody made a lot of money.

583
00:38:58,160 --> 00:39:00,880
"But new people coming,

584
00:39:00,880 --> 00:39:03,040
"other music is coming."

585
00:39:03,040 --> 00:39:08,480
And he had a feeling he will never
be successful like he was,

586
00:39:08,480 --> 00:39:10,800
<font color="

587
00:39:10,800 --> 00:39:15,040
Michael said he didn't want to be
a trained monkey forever.

588
00:39:15,040 --> 00:39:16,520
It's over.

589
00:39:16,520 --> 00:39:18,760
Will you give it to Howie?
Come on, let's do it.

590
00:39:18,760 --> 00:39:20,520
THEY LAUGH

591
00:39:22,120 --> 00:39:25,800
But when you start not to do

592
00:39:25,800 --> 00:39:28,960
what this, he called it system,
<font color="

593
00:39:28,960 --> 00:39:31,120
then you're in trouble.

594
00:39:31,120 --> 00:39:33,040
Let's make it three.

595
00:39:52,560 --> 00:39:53,720


596
00:39:53,720 --> 00:39:56,000


597
00:39:56,000 --> 00:39:57,720


598
00:39:57,720 --> 00:39:59,520


599
00:39:59,520 --> 00:40:01,800


600
00:40:01,800 --> 00:40:04,320
Sony was pushing him to continue
<font color="

601
00:40:05,560 --> 00:40:09,640
They were trying to get him
to finish this album, Invincible.

602
00:40:09,640 --> 00:40:12,600
Wasn't my business but, you know,
screw the album.

603
00:40:13,640 --> 00:40:16,520
We have to make your life
healthy again.

604
00:40:17,840 --> 00:40:20,400
So there was a war
for the soul of Michael Jackson.

605
00:40:25,800 --> 00:40:30,440
<font color="
labels in the world, hands down.

606
00:40:32,000 --> 00:40:33,680
And with Michael,

607
00:40:33,680 --> 00:40:37,080
well, there's a lot
of money changing hands.

608
00:40:37,080 --> 00:40:39,800
So, yes, it's cut-throat.

609
00:40:41,720 --> 00:40:45,360
But Sony Music was no more
cut-throat than any other label.

610
00:40:48,640 --> 00:40:51,240
<font color="
was a contentious one

611
00:40:51,240 --> 00:40:53,160
with his record label.

612
00:40:56,000 --> 00:40:59,960
I was there to help facilitate
a record

613
00:40:59,960 --> 00:41:01,760
he was putting out,
called Invincible,

614
00:41:01,760 --> 00:41:05,200
which was his official
last studio record with Sony,

615
00:41:05,200 --> 00:41:08,080
<font color="

616
00:41:08,080 --> 00:41:10,600
We had rented out the entire floor

617
00:41:10,600 --> 00:41:13,600
at the Plaza Hotel in New York.

618
00:41:13,600 --> 00:41:15,640
And for anybody
who doesn't know that,

619
00:41:15,640 --> 00:41:17,680
that is extremely expensive, crazy.

620
00:41:17,680 --> 00:41:20,760
And he wasn't even showing up
for things.

621
00:41:20,760 --> 00:41:23,280
<font color="

622
00:41:23,280 --> 00:41:26,000
A record company is there
to make money.

623
00:41:26,000 --> 00:41:28,120
They are an investment firm in a way

624
00:41:28,120 --> 00:41:30,960
who is invested in you
to produce something.

625
00:41:30,960 --> 00:41:33,000
CHEERING

626
00:41:33,000 --> 00:41:35,120
When we got the phone call that
this was, you know,

627
00:41:35,120 --> 00:41:38,600
<font color="
expensive record we've ever made."

628
00:41:38,600 --> 00:41:41,760
You know? And I'm like, "Oh, OK."
I'm like, "How much?"

629
00:41:41,760 --> 00:41:43,720
"30 million." I'm like, ooh, sh...!

630
00:41:43,720 --> 00:41:46,360
So it was kind of...
It was a problem.

631
00:41:47,400 --> 00:41:52,080
But everybody was really trying
<font color="

632
00:41:52,080 --> 00:41:55,160
so we could make a deadline
for album release.

633
00:41:55,160 --> 00:41:57,360
CHEERING

634
00:41:55,160 --> 00:41:57,360
Thank you!

635
00:41:58,920 --> 00:42:02,760
There's one time where I was asked
to pick up a package at a house

636
00:42:02,760 --> 00:42:05,600
that apparently was being sold
and is empty,

637
00:42:05,600 --> 00:42:08,400
<font color="

638
00:42:08,400 --> 00:42:11,800
And I opened it up and it happened
to be full of Demerol,

639
00:42:11,800 --> 00:42:15,920
which is a prescription
pain medication,

640
00:42:15,920 --> 00:42:17,480
but a lot of it.

641
00:42:17,480 --> 00:42:21,280
It was a known thing
that you don't ask.

642
00:42:21,280 --> 00:42:22,680
I said, "What's going...?"

643
00:42:23,880 --> 00:42:27,240
<font color="
"Oh, OK, um, never mind."

644
00:42:29,680 --> 00:42:34,120
But then he would go to the studio
as long as he had his magical pills.

645
00:42:35,520 --> 00:42:37,880
But it was all so confusing
at the same time.

646
00:42:37,880 --> 00:42:41,400
It wasn't... I'm not there to look
at someone and unwrap the package.

647
00:42:41,400 --> 00:42:43,880
<font color="
right?

648
00:42:46,680 --> 00:42:49,360
There were so many people
who were reliant on him

649
00:42:49,360 --> 00:42:52,160
to be the golden goose
that lays eggs again.

650
00:42:55,080 --> 00:42:58,560
But he knew that path was corrosive.

651
00:43:00,320 --> 00:43:02,560
It frightened me.

652
00:43:02,560 --> 00:43:04,720
There was too much conflict going on
<font color="

653
00:43:04,720 --> 00:43:08,560
And I, I sensed and I saw
that I was losing my influence.

654
00:43:08,560 --> 00:43:12,360
And I told him, "I'm not going
to watch you drive your life

655
00:43:12,360 --> 00:43:13,880
"off a cliff and clap."

TV COMMENTARY: Invincible has sold
<font color="

659
00:43:32,080 --> 00:43:34,160
and that ain't invincible.

660
00:43:34,160 --> 00:43:37,760
The flop of Invincible, along with
a general downturn in sales,

661
00:43:37,760 --> 00:43:40,720
means that Sony's share price
has suffered of late.

662
00:43:43,920 --> 00:43:46,240
Michael told me, "You know what?

663
00:43:46,240 --> 00:43:48,520
"I can't do this any more."

664
00:43:53,040 --> 00:43:55,960

and with touring and all of this.

666
00:44:09,080 --> 00:44:12,600
But Sony was not happy at all
with this.

667
00:44:14,280 --> 00:44:16,600
So he knew he has to fight

668
00:44:16,600 --> 00:44:18,720
to come out of this situation.

669
00:44:24,000 --> 00:44:27,840
From my vantage point,

670
00:44:27,840 --> 00:44:31,680
he got a tremendous amount
<font color="

671
00:44:33,440 --> 00:44:35,520
But you have to understand,
they're artists,

672
00:44:35,520 --> 00:44:37,320
they're all narcissists.

673
00:44:37,320 --> 00:44:39,240
They can't help themselves, OK?

674
00:44:39,240 --> 00:44:42,160
If their record's not selling,
it's someone's fault.

675
00:44:43,560 --> 00:44:48,160
You know, if their tour's not doing
<font color="

676
00:44:48,160 --> 00:44:50,160
Someone is always to blame.

677
00:44:56,160 --> 00:45:00,200
Michael Jackson is the architect
of his own destiny.

whether you're special or not,

680
00:45:04,640 --> 00:45:07,080
you are the creator of the reality
you live in.

681
00:45:10,840 --> 00:45:14,280
<font color="
to go to New York City,

682
00:45:14,280 --> 00:45:17,680
and then he's whisked off
to Al Sharpton's church.

683
00:45:19,120 --> 00:45:21,560
I personally think he was

Tommy Mottola is the president

he is a mean, he's a racist...

00:46:29,680 --> 00:46:32,200
He told me,
"Dieter, you need to help me.

704
00:46:32,200 --> 00:46:33,560
"It's over."

all his contracts

706
00:46:38,320 --> 00:46:41,640
with his lawyers, with his team,
with everybody.

707
00:46:42,920 --> 00:46:46,880
And he did want that
I take over everything.

708
00:46:51,880 --> 00:46:55,280
Ladies and gentlemen,
my name is Michael Jackson.

709
00:46:55,280 --> 00:46:57,280
And rather than writing
<font color="

710
00:46:57,280 --> 00:46:59,400
I've found this format
to be most efficient

711
00:46:59,400 --> 00:47:01,440
for what I wish to communicate.

712
00:47:03,440 --> 00:47:04,920
Dieter Weisner from Germany

713
00:47:04,920 --> 00:47:07,160
and myself have entered
into an agreement,

714
00:47:07,160 --> 00:47:09,520
an exclusive long term partnership.

715
00:47:09,520 --> 00:47:12,120
He gave me a power of attorney.

716
00:47:12,120 --> 00:47:14,600
<font color="

717
00:47:14,600 --> 00:47:18,240
I legally authorise my partners
to sign on my behalf.

718
00:47:19,640 --> 00:47:23,320
But he told me,
"Dieter, the old team,

719
00:47:23,320 --> 00:47:25,080
"they will be after you."

720
00:47:26,080 --> 00:47:28,480
They called once and told me,

721
00:47:28,480 --> 00:47:31,480
"You take our golden cow

722
00:47:31,480 --> 00:47:34,400
"and you have to stop this."

<font color="

724
00:47:37,440 --> 00:47:41,680
But I was on Michael's side,
of course, and I did what he'd want.

725
00:47:42,960 --> 00:47:46,120
I remember these words
from Michael to me.

726
00:47:46,120 --> 00:47:49,160
"I put my life and my future
in your hand."

00:48:18,200 --> 00:48:19,480

No! You want the cookie,

Paris, do you want some of this?

00:48:38,040 --> 00:48:40,600
By that time,
I wasn't involved in his life.

740
00:48:40,600 --> 00:48:42,960
Paris, are you going to say
thank you?

741
00:48:42,960 --> 00:48:44,640
Turn around.

742
00:48:44,640 --> 00:48:46,640
Paris, you want that?

743
00:48:46,640 --> 00:48:50,240
I received a phone call from...

744
00:48:52,880 --> 00:48:56,960
<font color="
Martin Bashir.

745
00:48:56,960 --> 00:49:00,000
Martin Bashir wants to interview
Michael Jackson.

746
00:49:00,000 --> 00:49:03,000
OK. You're getting the big one.

747
00:49:03,000 --> 00:49:06,560
I got off the phone and I went to
Michael and said, "First of all,

748
00:49:06,560 --> 00:49:08,800
"your life, it's not ready
<font color="

749
00:49:10,360 --> 00:49:13,520
"Stay a billion miles away
from this guy."

750
00:49:15,520 --> 00:49:18,040
But Michael was an insecure person

751
00:49:18,040 --> 00:49:20,720
who is going to look for
the validation of the public.

752
00:49:23,480 --> 00:49:27,160
He wanted to talk
about his whole life,

753
00:49:27,160 --> 00:49:28,640
his career,

754
00:49:28,640 --> 00:49:31,480
<font color="

755
00:49:33,320 --> 00:49:37,280
So Martin Bashir followed Michael
for eight months.

756
00:49:42,720 --> 00:49:45,000
How do you write a song?

757
00:49:45,000 --> 00:49:46,680
How do you write a song?

758
00:49:46,680 --> 00:49:48,320
When I wrote Billie Jean,

759
00:49:48,320 --> 00:49:52,080
I was writing in my car
down Ventura Boulevard.

760
00:49:52,080 --> 00:49:54,080
<font color="

761
00:49:54,080 --> 00:49:57,520

SINGS THE BILLIE JEAN BASS LINE

763
00:50:01,480 --> 00:50:03,680
You know...
Where did that come from?

764
00:50:04,640 --> 00:50:07,600
From above. The dance as well?
Yeah, same thing.

765
00:50:07,600 --> 00:50:09,080
<font color="

766
00:50:09,080 --> 00:50:10,600
Can you show me how you do it?

767
00:50:10,600 --> 00:50:13,240
Oh, boy. Come on, just get up and...
I'm shy.

768
00:50:13,240 --> 00:50:15,280
Oh, come on, just show me.
Just show me...

769
00:50:15,280 --> 00:50:17,440
Just show me. Show me what you do.

770
00:50:17,440 --> 00:50:18,840
Teach me.

771
00:50:18,840 --> 00:50:20,080
OK. Is...

00:50:21,120 --> 00:50:23,440
<font color="
on the spot now.

773
00:50:23,440 --> 00:50:26,080
Come on. Now people are discovering
something about me.

774
00:50:26,080 --> 00:50:29,800
I'm really shy, I'm embarrassed. OK,
you're shy. Just get up and show me.

775
00:50:29,800 --> 00:50:31,800
Erm... OK.

776
00:50:35,560 --> 00:50:38,160
Michael opened the door
<font color="

777
00:50:43,120 --> 00:50:45,360
CROWD CHANT AND CHEER

778
00:50:47,400 --> 00:50:50,040
Michael had just had another child.

779
00:50:54,560 --> 00:50:57,800
We was in the room together

780
00:50:57,800 --> 00:51:02,920
and Michael heard the screaming
from the fans.

781
00:51:02,920 --> 00:51:04,680
It was a beautiful feeling.

782
00:51:04,680 --> 00:51:07,000
CROWD CHEERS

783
00:51:08,840 --> 00:51:11,880
And Michael was so excited.
<font color="

784
00:51:11,880 --> 00:51:13,480
He took Blanket...

785
00:51:14,640 --> 00:51:17,360
..but he had him really fast
under his arm.

786
00:51:17,360 --> 00:51:19,920
CROWD CHANTS

787
00:51:21,920 --> 00:51:24,120
CROWD SCREAMS

788
00:51:36,480 --> 00:51:39,680
And the next morning
I came out of my room

789
00:51:39,680 --> 00:51:42,440
and I saw all over the newspaper.

790
00:51:43,880 --> 00:51:46,960
That was not a nice,
<font color="

791
00:51:46,960 --> 00:51:50,120
But, of course, Martin Bashir,
he was there.

792
00:51:51,760 --> 00:51:53,680
I love you. Here he is.

793
00:51:53,680 --> 00:51:55,760
But I want to give you this bottle!

794
00:51:55,760 --> 00:51:57,200
Wait, wait. Ah!

795
00:51:57,200 --> 00:51:58,680
Here's the bottle.

796
00:51:58,680 --> 00:52:01,640
It's OK. Just get this off.

00:52:10,640 --> 00:52:13,400
Blank. Blank.
Blanket! I love you!

Blanket. Yes, yes, yes!

<font color="
what people have been saying?

806
00:52:19,000 --> 00:52:20,680
It's totally ignorant.

807
00:52:20,680 --> 00:52:23,280
I would never do that to my children
or any child.

808
00:52:23,280 --> 00:52:25,520
Try to kill them? Come on, stupid.

809
00:52:25,520 --> 00:52:27,520
And why would I put a scarf
over the baby's face

810
00:52:27,520 --> 00:52:30,160
<font color="
the balcony?

811
00:52:30,160 --> 00:52:33,360
We were waving to thousands of fans
down below and they were chanting,

812
00:52:33,360 --> 00:52:35,120
they wanted to see my child.

813
00:52:35,120 --> 00:52:37,520
So I was kind enough
to let them see.

814
00:52:37,520 --> 00:52:40,520
I was doing something
out of innocence.

airs this evening,

816
00:52:48,840 --> 00:52:51,120
these streets are going
to be deserted.

817
00:52:51,120 --> 00:52:53,920
Fans and critics alike are saying
they're going to be staying in

818
00:52:53,920 --> 00:52:55,520
to watch the programme.

819
00:52:55,520 --> 00:52:59,000
With his reputation
in America very much at stake,

820
00:52:59,000 --> 00:53:01,920
<font color="
it must be a nervous wait.

821
00:53:03,760 --> 00:53:05,960
I didn't want that we watched
the documentary

822
00:53:05,960 --> 00:53:08,280
until I know what happened.

823
00:53:10,080 --> 00:53:13,040
But Michael,
of course he want to see it.

824
00:53:13,040 --> 00:53:16,880
We watched it on TV together.

825
00:53:21,200 --> 00:53:24,720
Eight months ago, I put

00:53:27,000 --> 00:53:30,200
but show me everything,
make nothing off limits.

828
00:53:30,200 --> 00:53:34,680
He thought about it and then
he said, "Yes, come to Neverland."

829
00:53:36,960 --> 00:53:40,200
We began a journey together
across continents,

830
00:53:40,200 --> 00:53:44,080
<font color="
the disturbing reality

831
00:53:44,080 --> 00:53:45,680
of his life today.

832
00:53:46,920 --> 00:53:48,280
In the documentary...

833
00:53:49,440 --> 00:53:52,600
..was this young boy, Gavin Arvizo.

834
00:53:54,480 --> 00:53:57,280
And he was taking care of him.

835
00:53:57,280 --> 00:54:02,400
When people hear that children
from other families

836
00:54:02,400 --> 00:54:04,960
<font color="
in your house,

837
00:54:04,960 --> 00:54:06,760
they've stayed in your bedroom...

838
00:54:06,760 --> 00:54:08,680
Well, very few.

839
00:54:08,680 --> 00:54:10,760
But you know, some have.

840
00:54:10,760 --> 00:54:12,760
And they say,

841
00:54:12,760 --> 00:54:16,840
is that really appropriate for a
man, a grown man, to be doing that?

842
00:54:16,840 --> 00:54:18,360
How do you respond to that?

843
00:54:18,360 --> 00:54:21,400
<font color="
because that's judging someone

844
00:54:21,400 --> 00:54:23,320
who just wants to really
help people.

845
00:54:23,320 --> 00:54:24,960
Why can't you share your bed?

846
00:54:25,960 --> 00:54:29,160
The most loving thing to do
is to share your bed with someone.

847
00:54:30,760 --> 00:54:34,640
When I saw this,
I got a very bad feeling.

848
00:54:34,640 --> 00:54:36,880
<font color="

849
00:54:36,880 --> 00:54:42,160
if I said, "Well, I've invited some
of my daughter's friends round,

850
00:54:42,160 --> 00:54:43,640
"or my son's friends round,

851
00:54:43,640 --> 00:54:45,880
"and they're going to sleep in the
bed with me tonight..." That's fine.

852
00:54:45,880 --> 00:54:47,840
What do you think their parents
<font color="

853
00:54:47,840 --> 00:54:50,000
If they're wacky,
they would say you can't.

854
00:54:50,000 --> 00:54:52,840
I suppose the problem
for many people

855
00:54:52,840 --> 00:54:55,200
is what happened in 1993

856
00:54:55,200 --> 00:54:56,840
or what didn't happen.

857
00:54:56,840 --> 00:54:58,440
What didn't happen.

858
00:55:02,080 --> 00:55:05,440
One bombshell after another
<font color="

859
00:55:05,440 --> 00:55:07,760
in a new British documentary.

860
00:55:07,760 --> 00:55:10,960
Jackson admits he still
has sleepovers with young boys.

861
00:55:12,800 --> 00:55:14,120
I felt...

862
00:55:18,160 --> 00:55:20,280
..shock. Absolute shock.

863
00:55:20,280 --> 00:55:22,680
Have you lost all touch
with reality...

864
00:55:23,840 --> 00:55:27,680
..that you don't even know how
<font color="

865
00:55:27,680 --> 00:55:29,960
react to that?

866
00:55:29,960 --> 00:55:34,760
He said he slept in a bed
with children that are not his own.

867
00:55:34,760 --> 00:55:36,800
I mean, this isn't made up,
this isn't fabricated.

868
00:55:36,800 --> 00:55:39,120
What kind of loony would, A, do it,

869
00:55:39,120 --> 00:55:41,640
and, B, go on national TV
and admit it?

870
00:55:42,760 --> 00:55:46,640
<font color="
that clearly are uncrossable.

871
00:55:46,640 --> 00:55:48,800
Sharing a bed with a child
that's not yours,

872
00:55:48,800 --> 00:55:52,000
even if it's not sexual,
it's still insanity.

873
00:55:53,040 --> 00:55:56,160
We got the reaction from all over,
of course.

874
00:55:56,160 --> 00:55:57,880
It was terrible.

875
00:55:57,880 --> 00:56:00,360
<font color="
strangers' kids.

876
00:56:00,360 --> 00:56:02,040
As much as I love Michael Jackson,

877
00:56:02,040 --> 00:56:04,200
I'm having a hard time
defending him right now.

878
00:56:04,200 --> 00:56:07,080
I believe that child welfare
services should interview

879
00:56:07,080 --> 00:56:09,720
every child that has been
at Neverland

880
00:56:09,720 --> 00:56:12,480
<font color="
or anywhere else in the home

881
00:56:12,480 --> 00:56:14,360
without the presence
of their parents,

882
00:56:14,360 --> 00:56:15,640
find out what's going on.

883
00:56:16,640 --> 00:56:18,280
He couldn't talk,

884
00:56:18,280 --> 00:56:21,200
and he was sitting on his bed
crying.

885
00:56:21,200 --> 00:56:23,240
What's ahead for Michael Jackson?

886
00:56:23,240 --> 00:56:26,720
<font color="
after this? Oh, a real bumpy road.

887
00:56:26,720 --> 00:56:28,560
I don't think he'll recover
from this one.

888
00:56:28,560 --> 00:56:33,400
That documentary led directly
or indirectly

889
00:56:33,400 --> 00:56:36,360
to Michael Jackson's death. There's
absolutely no question about it.

890
00:56:36,360 --> 00:56:38,080
<font color="

891
00:56:51,040 --> 00:56:53,960
Michael Jackson
wasn't the ordinary paedophile.

892
00:56:55,400 --> 00:56:57,520
He had the means to be able
to do things

893
00:56:57,520 --> 00:57:00,080
that no-one else I had
ever prosecuted could do.

894
00:57:02,160 --> 00:57:04,600
An estate that was 2,800 acres,

895
00:57:04,600 --> 00:57:07,560
and a huge house
<font color="

896
00:57:07,560 --> 00:57:10,040
a staff that just ignored
what was going on.

897
00:57:10,040 --> 00:57:11,960
That was unique to Michael Jackson.

898
00:57:13,640 --> 00:57:16,520
Gavin, can you tell us
what your conversations,

899
00:57:16,520 --> 00:57:18,200
what you guys talked about?

900
00:57:31,080 --> 00:57:34,360
We had lost the opportunity
ten years earlier.

901
00:57:36,080 --> 00:57:38,520
<font color="
that not happen again.
