What?

Get back in line.

Alright, come on now.

I'm gonna take you from the top.

And get it right this time.

One, two, three, four.

STOP!

Bring it together.

You gotta feel it.

Y'hear?

Take it from the top.

One, two, three, four.

Michael.

I need you to look at me.

Michael, up here.

Michael, I need your eye lined up to me.

Oh yeah.

I don't think that's your eye.

I don't think that's your eye.

It's gonna feel better when you get it right.

Eat your food please.

Stop!

Michael, why are you playing with your food?

You need to stop playing with it.

Come on.

You need to know it.

Shut up, Latoya.

Look.

I made a face.

Wow.

That's a real one.

Alright now, listen up boys.

I know you would never let me down.

And I...

I think you're ready.

So I've booked us a few gigs.

We start going away tomorrow.

Wait, wait.

We're so sorry.

We don't need to work on that hard.

Work?

They don't know the first thing about work.

I understand that, but they have school.

Let me tell you something.

In this life,

you either win or you lose.

You know what?

You have some poor black kids from Gary Indiana.

She ain't nothing but we gotta take it.

But you have to fight for it.

You all want to work in a steel mill like me for the rest of your days?

because I sure as hell don't.

Unless you work harder,

harder than anyone else.

This is your life.

Y'all willing to fight for it?

Yes, sir.

I need to hear you a little louder.

Y'all willing to fight for it?

Yes, sir.

Now I want you to reach out like you about to touch that wall.

But not that way.

Like this.

All right.

Reach out.

Come on.

But don't touch it.

All right.

Good.

Keep your arms up.

Keep your arms up.

Now, I want you to look at that wall.

All right.

Close your eyes.

We're going to reach out together

as one,

as a family.

No more Jackie,

Tito,

Jermaine,

Marlon,

and Michael.

From now on....

You're the Jackson 5.

- Hi, boys. - Hi, mother

Watch your wash your hands and put your night clothes on.

Get laid. - Hold up!

No, no, no, no, no, no.

Seven years from this month.

They have school in the morning. What do you mean?

We don't have time for nighty night this week

We need to rehearse so we can get it right.

Come on.

Come on.

Set them up.

Come on.

We're tired and we did good.

You tired?

You think you did good?

Is that right, Michael?

Yes, Joseph.

We did good.

Michael, come on here quickly.

Are you looking at me like I ain't talking to you?

Boy?

You come over here when I call.

What?

My opinion don't matter around here?

Boy?

Joseph.

You look fine to me, boy!

We rehearse.

Till you get it right.

In this life,

You're either the winner.

- Or the loser... That's right.

You're going to cry, go and cry.

Go on!

Big nose.

Set up.

Michael, it's mother.

Gone thus the elusive creature

for a long moment,

the knight spoke,

Captain Hook met his bane

in the jaws of his own enemy,

the crocodile.

Neverland was finally free.

Five, six, five, six, seven, eight.

Oh, bye, bye, bye, bye, bye, bye.

Michael, keep your eyes right here.

Good.

Try it, Marlon.

That's it.

It goes on, sir.

Sweet!

Just rock, just rock, just rock.

Thank you so much.

We're going to give it a big thanks to those friends.

So I'm going to introduce you all to some handsome young fellas.

Now, ladies, don't let them break your heart.

Ladies and gentlemen, let's give it up for the Jackson 5!

Do you like my boys?

Are you the manager?

Joseph Jackson.

Suzanne de Passe, from Motown.

Motown.

It's hard to get talent like that.

Perfect pitch.

Perfect pitch?

We aint' there yet.

The things he can do with that voice.

I'll be in touch with Mr. Jackson.

Thanks a lot.

Mr Forrester.

Joe, boys, good to see you again.

You have learned the song I gave you?

We've been practicing night and day.

We're starting with Michael.

Michael, you're moving too much.

All right, here we go.

Michael, you're doing it again.

Take a step closer to the microphone.

And I'm going to need you to keep your feet still.

You understand me?

Give me the same leave.

Give me the same music.

Here we go.

Let me talk to him.

No, he's just getting there.

I just need 5 minutes.

See, Joseph, why don't you worry about keeping the boys in schedule, huh?

We'll have this over with.

What did I tell you?

I sit around with my head hanging down.

And I wonder who's loving you.

Let me tell you something.

I've been doing this for a long time.

I've never heard a voice quite like yours.

He's singin that song better than Smokey himself.

Really?

It's special.

You have something to say.

That's right, Michael.

Yeah, this is a favorite song.

This theater goes up and down.

It sets the levels to the bottom.

It can make your voice sound louder or softer, right?

Yeah, these knobs appear.

That's where you EQ.

What's EQ?

Equalization.

You see, when we record, we split things up into...

Excuse us right now.

Time to go, Michael.

Mr. Gordy is very busy, man.

I'm sure you've taken up enough of his time.

Go ahead, Michael.

I can show you these sets of another time, right?

Okay, Mr. Gordy.

Thank you.

Michael, you can ask me anything.

Anytime you want.

All right, so, how old are you?

Ten.

Not ten.

You're eight.

In this business, you can make up just about anything,

especially your age.

Michael, how old are you?

Um, I'm eight, sir.

I think I'm lost.

No.

Get up, girl.

Show me what you can do.

Shake, shake, wave, come on.

Shake, shake, wave, come on.

End up in reading about the Serengueti.

Learning about all different types,

Lions, tigers, monkeys,

giraffes.

One day, you and I will have more friends to play with.

Wouldn't that be fun?

Well, look at this picture.

You like it?

Come on, Michael.

Joseph wants you.

and make sure you put your rat in the cage this time.

It's disgusting.

Come on now.

His name is Bill Bray.

He's your head of security.

All right?

He's gonna be around a lot.

Make sure you mind him.

That's the meet you, Mr. Bray.

It's very nice to meet you two, young man.

Just call me Bill, okay?

Okay, Bill.

All right.

Guard him with your life.

Michael, you'll miss the best part.

In Lama's had three stomachs who they can digest their good

because all they eat is vegetables.

And they're really smart, very intelligent creatures.

And best of all, they never ever bite.

That's what you said about the rats.

No, really?

Lama's never bite.

They only spit when they're agitated.

So you want me to bring some spit and agitated animal

into my house?

Okay.

Can you live outside?

Come on, please, please.

Yes.

I'll look after him.

Absolutely not, Michael.

Mother has enough things to worry about.

And you don't eat another pet.

There's not my pets.

They're my friends.

Well?

I do understand that.

But don't you want to be real friends?

Like, kids your own age?

I would like that for you.

I do sometimes, but I'm not like the other kids.

They don't treat me like a real person.

And all they want to do is stare and take pictures of me.

You look at me, Michael.

I knew you were different the moment you were born.

I knew you were different from your brothers.

And that's okay.

You have a very special light.

And you know what Jehovah says?

He says, let your light shine

onto the world.

Babe, let your light shine.

Do you understand me?

Yeah.

Don't you ever let anyone take that away from you.

Not even yourself.

Honey.

The next song we're going to do

is one of our favourites

You guys ready?

Shit in the past, embracing freedom.

That's your album right there, brother.

That's what people want.

Pure escapism, Quincy.

That's it.

So how are you going to tell your father about a solo album?

Breaking away from the family, he's not going to like that.

I'm not a kid anymore, Q.

I'm going to look him straight in the eye.

Tell him to his face.

I need you to tell my father that the solo album is your idea.

Okay.

Okay.

I'm an adventurer.

Michael.

We love you doing a solo album.

Honestly, that's why we signed you all the epic.

No disrespect to your family.

This is what we're all been hoping for.

Great.

I just, I think it'll be better coming from you guys.

Anything we can do to help Michael.

So tell us about the album.

Okay.

Well, this album, it's really important to me.

I just, I need the freedom to write the music and lyrics that pop into my head.

You know, to express myself creatively.

I want a whole new sound, a whole new me.

Quincy Jones he's producing.

Rod Temperton's working on songs right now

It sounds terrific, Michael.

Consider it done.

So we feel like Michael doing solo album will be really great for the label.

And more importantly, for the Jackson brand.

They could help each other with PR and merchandising.

Feed each other, you know?

Feed.

So, I guess you're okay with all this?

Of course, yeah.

Whatever's good for Michael

is good for me.

And if there's anything you need, don't hesitate.

The only thing is, Michael can do whatever he wants in his spare time.

As long as he continues to work with his brothers.

I'm sorry?

I own his ass from 9 to 5.

After that is up to him.

If he wants to cut an album at midnight it's fine with me.

As long as he is at the microphone at 9 a.m. sharp.

That's what works right now.

Understood.

I appreciate you gentlemen stopping by.

Show respect.

My pleasure, Joe.

I'm so excited to start recording with you tonight.

I wish you could come a little nervous but more excited.

Definitely excited.

Just have all these ideas in my head.

Just constantly filming.

Just got to get them out.

You get some sleep early.

I'll be back in the morning and tell you all about it.

Are you ready, Joker?

Yeah.

You want me to drive?

Not this time, Joker.

Sure, Papa.

Next time.

What about we let Louie drive?

Take your time.

Settle in.

No rest.

And, uh, keep these feet still.

Well, Q.

Can't you give me a favor and lower the lights for me please?

Just a little bit.

Thanks.

You're confident.

You're strong.

You're beautiful.

You're the greatest of all time.

Michael, when you're ready.

Oh.

Oh my God, oh my God.

Oh my God.

Hello.

It's almost here.

Hurry up.

What is it this time?

It's a surprise.

Did you get a damn Ferrari, Michael?

Notoya, do you know about this? - What's going on?

What's going on, Michael? - You'll see

It's OK.

I want you to be my new friend, Bubbles.

I rescued him from this awful place.

You know where they do testing on animals.

Welcome to the family.

Michael, you do know that chimps are wild animals

that don't belong in a house in Encino?

Mother, I'll take good care of him.

I will, I promise.

Does he bite?

Oh, no.

Well, he's sweet.

But, you know, chimps are sensitive to certain sounds

and people.

They either hide or they attack.

It's OK, Bubbles.

It's OK.

You're safe now.

You want to make some music, huh?

It's me.

I just released my new album.

Those are my demos.

Don't mess that up.

I want to show you this.

Look.

Look.

You see?

This is Neverland.

I come here all the time.

It's filled with magic, adventure, and pirates.

Lost islands.

It's my favorite page.

It's Peter Pan.

The shadow.

So, Michael.

Surgery.

Have you had any surgeries in the past five years?

What about medications?

Are you taking any?

No, ma'am.

There's been a clean cream from I'm going to like it.

No, I'm sorry.

It's much more common than people think.

Has it spread?

A little bit.

Yeah, you know, the cream.

It helps get out my skin tone.

Oh, I see now.

Michael, good to see you again.

I'm almost ready for you.

Any last questions?

Oh, no.

I'm ready.

I need to make a few marks around the nose.

You know, you're a pretty good-looking kid.

You sure you wanna do this?

Not a kid anymore.

And my nose is too big.

Not sure that's true.

You see, my face isn't symmetrical for the photographs now.

I have to be perfect.

Well, you're the boss.

Just relax.

Hey, what's going on, son?

Gun?

Michael?

Oh? Come here.

What in the world...

Let me see something.

Oh, my God.

Michael.

It's for my sinuses.

Maybe I should get a nose job.

You think so? - Yes, I do

Russell says everybody does it.

All the big stars, all our favorite ones.

Well, it looks great.

You really think so?

I do.

I want a new look.

I want to reinvent myself.

Now that I'm doing my own thing,

I'm a boy and a kid being a boy.

Look around Michael, your fans love you.

They're not my fans.

They're part of my family.

It's just time for me to start taking control of my own destiny.

I want to be who I want to be.

Mikey, Joseph just called in a meeting.

Careful, he's hungry.

How hungry?

He's pretty hungry.

For like a mouse? - Maybe.

There he is.

Man of the house. - Go on, sit down, sit down.

Now, y'all real happy about Michael's success.

That's lovely to see.

It's heartwarming.

I mean, he can go all the way.

Right to the top.

All by himself.

We'll let him be something.

Let me tell you, the Jackson family is the brand.

That's our Coca-Cola.

So we need to open up the store and start selling.

Or you know what's going to happen?

Folks are going to go out there and stop buying some Pepsi.

We got to get them there again and then the waves.

So, I'm decided.

I'm arranging a tour in a live album.

How are we gonna do a tour without Jermaine?

You brother made this choice, but we have no time

to his aid.

Let him live with it.

The point is, we need to capitalize on Michael's album.

So, we're going to do a bunch of songs.

Joseph, I need to think.

No, sir.

I told you what to think.

You got a problem with that, Michael?

We need to have a reasonable conversation about this, Joseph.

You think now because you're a big superstar and you got this big hit album

that you better than everybody in this house?

Is that it?

That ain't your brother's.

Mother me.

Is that it?

You need to think.

You think you better than me, boy?

Joseph, that is enough.

Is that it, Michael?

That is enough.

You better stop.

Let's go.

Where do you want to go?

Just drive.

I'm so sick of it, Bill.

All of it.

Joseph's exploiting me.

I had a whole plan.

The Tracks.

The visuals.

I wanted to do a solo tour.

Just, just ruining it all.

I need my freedom.

Well, move out.

I'm not ready for that.

It's not that easy.

Life's not easy, sir.

I'll tell you.

I love my family.

I do.

I just want to do my own thing.

Joseph never gonna change.

The only thing he cares about is the Jackson family.

No matter what you do,

he's only ever going to see it as a family success.

Get your own team.

Get you a good boy.

Think about it.

Yeah.

So, we appreciate you coming in.

And we applaud your decision to seek independent counsel.

We can assure you the most comprehensive attention

to your entire media portfolio.

At Hardee-Barovick,

we believe in treating our clients as family.

And we want you to-

I already have a family.

Too much of them.

I mean, the whole point's going solo, right?

So, that means you probably gonna break a few hearts over there

and see them.

Unless I'm missing something.

Do I know you?

No.

I don't think so.

Are you sure?

Yeah.

I think I'd remember.

Who are you?

John Brance.

You handle Beach Boys?

Yeah.

I do.

Neil Diamond and Bob Dylan,

a couple other guys,

and now I work with him.

I like the Beach Boys.

Me too.

Brian Wilson's a genius.

Some of the best harmonies of rock and roll.

You know what I'm after, Mr. Branca?

Sure.

You want to be the biggest star in the world?

Can you help make the happen?

Yes.

How?

Because I believe there's no one like you.

And there never will be.

Mr. Jackson.

Mr. Jackson, I apologize.

He's my guy.

Can you leave us alone for a second?

Please.

Of course.

Yes.

Okay, Mr. Branca.

Here's your first job.

I need you to fire Joseph.

Your dad?

You want me to fire your dad.

How would you like me to do it?

Quickly.

Yes.

Okay.

Victoria, could you have one out of here?

Okay.

Look at this.

Hey, look at this.

The boy fired me with a piece of paper.

A piece of it couldn't be manly man.

Look me in the eye and do it.

That boy's going to feel my belt when I get him here.

No, he's not.

Yes, the hell he is.

No, he's not.

What are you going to do, beat him?

You're going to whoop him?

He's grown.

What'd you say to me?

I said you can't do it no more.

You can't whoop nobody.

You can't beat nobody.

And if you don't like it, you can leave.

In the next time you see your son, you ought to think

everything we have is because of him.

And don't you ever forget that.

Everybody seems to forget that I'm the one who got us out of Gary.

Everything I've done is for this family.

You go on ahead and keep thinking that.

You're going to go down this side.

Stand up.

Stand up.

Yeah.

You know I...

It's such a little...

It's you.

That's Michael Jackson.

What?

It's Michael Jackson.

What?

Please excuse him.

Are you actually really...

I'm Michael.

Wow.

I wonder...

I'd love an autograph.

For my son.

I mean...

Of course.

Yeah.

He's a huge fan.

Yeah.

What other son is today?

You can just make it out to Paul-line.

Pauline.

Mom, my name is Max, not Pauline.

Is that the new Atari game?

I love that.

You played it?

Oh, yeah.

All the time.

Be sure to keep toggle left when you fire.

That's how you power up.

Cool.

Thank you.

Thanks.

Hi.

Would you like an autograph?

Yes, please.

What's your name?

Annaka.

It's pretty neat.

What do you say, baby?

Thank you.

You're a huge fan.

That's a joke.

Don't worry.

Here.

Oh.

Hey!

Hey!

I'm Michael. Hey Mikey! Wassup?

There's something else you can do.

Yeah.

Keep short.

You can do it.

Keep short.

Guys, look.

I got a Twister.

A Twister?

Can we do it?

He's going to do it.

Come on.

We like the old days.

We love to, Mike

I gotta be home with family.

We're going to play games.

And the rest of us are going out tonight.

Yeah, mom's going to hot dates.

Well, tomorrow what time you'll be home?

Can we play then?

He's gonna be playing his own game of Twister.

I can't bother you in the lunch.

Yeah.

Right.

You guys are no fun anymore.

Hey, that's cheating!

It's okay.

Don't worry, Bubbles.

It takes a long time to learn.

I'm a professional dancer.

Do you want some ice cream?

Okay.

But then I've got to go to work.

Don't break anything.

I'll be back.

I was thinking about framing this.

We didn't.

Come on, here.

Firing your own father.

What kind of a son is that?

Michael.

You got a lot to learn about family.

Okay.

Hi.

Hi.

Beautiful man.

And I've got more.

This is for you.

It's clean.

You watch TV?

Yeah.

Sometimes.

You watch TV?

Yeah.

Cartoons.

The Three Stooges a lot.

Charlie Chaplin.

You know who he is?

Duh.

No, you don't.

He's such a toodle head.

He's wonderful.

Really.

He's an actor.

He's a movie director.

And he writes songs.

I have a dog.

What's his name?

Rudy.

He's getting fat.

I know.

My mom says I feed him too much.

I love Rudy.

Do you have any pets?

Uh...

Snake.

And a giraffe.

No way.

And a llama.

It's got to be the greatest selling album of all time.

And not just by Black Artists, but by any race, any color.

Okay?

Then I want the largest concert tour there ever was.

Just stadiums only.

Thousands of thousands of people just rushing into the stadiums.

Just all over the world.

I also want to make short films featuring my music.

I can see it.

You can see it.

You can do it.

I see it so clearly.

Well, I'll call Walter Yetnikoff from CBS

with the new press release?

No.

No press.

No interviews.

No nothing.

He's not going to like that.

You got to handle that, Branca.

You see...

I want to be mysterious.

Like Garbo.

You know?

I mean, the Haley's comic came every year.

Just year after year.

Would you look at it?

You're going to need publicity.

What I'm going to need is a good record and sales.

Nothing else matters.

Fair enough.

And I suggest you start laying down some killer demos.

Can we do that?

Of course.

I can do that.

What are you doing, Mike?

Channeling.

Let it be great to give me a solid.

And if I'm not muted to see these ideas,

God might give me the prince.

Hello.

Almost all of the gunfire and death over drugs and territory involves rival gangs.

Ryan Chavez reports from Los Angeles.

The best friend killed by a rival gang member.

Another killed at a drive by shooting in Sacramento because he wore the wrong color.

Those who wear blue who call themselves the Fritz.

The bloods, wear red.

Some, like Smokey, survived attempts.

No parallels.

People died over nothing.

All what they were doing.

Yet the city remains filled with boring soldiers.

This is good news.

Some y'all stay out, watch out.

You end up in winter.

All right.

You stand right down.

And you end up in winter.

Yeah, that's right.

Well, as time went on, I started to get to get control.

So I started to get control.

So I'm not going to miss anything.

Ryan Chavez reports.

Hello? - Hey Bill, it's me.

Hey Joseph, what's up?

Well, I need some help, I was hoping you can call in some favours.

Okay, we're all at the studio.

We're only there because of you.

I can't believe you're doing this.

Music will bring people together That's the point.

If things work out, I have a big idea.

That's juicy right there.

Hey, this, is called the C-Walk.

Hey, can I get an autograph?

I'm kinda cut, look it's for my sister.

Yeah of course, after this I can sign autographs for everybody.

Sure, look I know it's not easy for you guys. So I just want to thank everybody for coming

It's really important to me

You see, I think music and dance is what we all have in common

It's the universal language.

We can change the world, I believe that.

Let's work on that together.

Let's work on that part.

See? It's in medicine. You know, think of a school of fish. We all move together. Do you know what I mean?

I want to try something. I'm a deer.

Bill, can you bring my jacket please? I want to try something on me. Traveled down this way. Thank you.

Let's do it again. I'm gonna break out and something. But continue with that flow.

Oh yeah, I like it.

Oh yeah, I like it.

Oh yeah, I like it.

Oh yeah.

What do you guys think?

I'm excited, bro.

It's good.

Right.

I wanna try out music now.

Yeah.

In fact, I wanna put you on my short film.

Let's crank it up, please. I wanna feel it.

You know, CBS wants you to call the Apple Michael Jackson.

And let that ooze into the rest of the recording today, you dig?

Okay, I'll try.

You're on the cover of the damn album.

You're singing on every song.

A little more.

Don't get a kidder now.

That's rockin' rock.

That's the damn A-way, please.

Not you, my man.

That will give you eternal life.

Can we stop for a second?

That was great. You guys were perfect.

Just keep on. Stretch out for a second.

Hey.

Is the camera supposed to move in there?

Uh, I can ask John.

Is there a particular thing you're looking for?

Yeah, I'm just worried we're not getting the feet.

You know, Fred Astaire would always say,

we gotta get the whole body.

And that's how the audience feels thye dance.

Can you ask John just to try that?

Just for one scene.

Yeah, you got it.

Thank you.

I'll send the movie in.

I want the camera to be out.

Okay, Mike.

We're going to pull back.

We're going to hold you head to toe.

Okay?

Perfect.

All right.

Okay, everybody.

Back to first position.

Please.

Right on the left, please.

All right.

Now ready.

Camera.

Set.

Okay.

Step back.

And.

What can I say, guys, except congratulations?

The album's amazing, everyone's buying, hot charts, RnB charts,

Thanks, Walter. Thanks so much.

Michael, everyone in the CBS family is so proud of you.

I'm proud of you. Now can I do for you, my son?

Your wish, is my command.

Well, I'm really happy with the sales agreement, but...

Branca?

We're happy with the sales, but there's something we need to do promotion-wise.

We need to get his videos on MTV.

MTV? Ay ay ay, not possible. - The videos are masterpieces.

You haven't seen Thriller yet. That thing's crazy.

And they will promote the record like nothing else.

And if we get into the heavy rotation on MTV The sky's the limit. You know that

MTV almost never plays black artists. I don't know why.

Maybe they don't want to scare the shit out of the white kids in the suburbs.

Walter, I made these videos for everybody, white and black.

We feel like Michael's videos deserve this.

Michael, let me tell you something. I...

I'm a proud black artist, Walter.

I'll not be shoved to the back of any bus by MTV, or anyone

Believe me, John, I have tried.

With love, Walter. Please try harder.

Sally, honey, can you get me Bob Pittman from MTV right now?

And tell that schmuck to drop everything and take my call, right now?

Of course - Thank you.

So, Michael, are you enjoying New York?

Yeah, listen, I can get you tickets to Marcel, Marcel, on Broadway, front row.

You know what?

Better still the second row.

You don't want to be in the front row for them.

Those French artists.

And that's so big on showering.

You know what I mean?

It's like pebbily pub, but without so much walking.

You know, I have a bird coming because I just had Coca-Cola like an asshole.

Sally.

Bob.

Thank you for taking my call.

Listen.

I need you to run Billy Jean for me.

I know.

I know.

But here's the problem with that.

I don't give a shit.

I don't give two shits.

I don't even give three shits.

So you're running Billy Jean for me and you run it all the time.

Okay, Bob.

Let me put it another way.

If you don't play Billy Jane in the next 10 minutes, I'm going to pull every CBS artist from your lineup.

Okay?

Bruce Springsteen, Cheap Trick, Charlie Daniels, Billy Joel, Cindy Lauper, Bob Dylan.

You can put them all in a plastic bag, cover the plastic bag in Crisco, and then shut them up your ass.

Yeah, your butthole.

Yeah, no longer in business.

Yeah.

Michael Jackson's Thriller record has sold 25 million records and counting.

Okay.

Michael Jackson's just on the discussion.

What do you think is to be a superstar?

Do you think your hands may require lies?

Do you think this is a message that we should know the radio?

The only thing we want is our hands tied up the numbers.

We want our hands tied up the whole time in these days.

That means that you're also one-man financial empire.

Here

There he is

Are you kidding me that was brilliant Michael you shook the world with that performance. Oh my goodness

I was supposed to stay on my toes long

I'm so happy

Everyone is talking about it

Come on

That's my son

A regular money maker machine

Hey, we'll get you later, Mike. Yeah, you have my mic. It's okay, man

Just gonna give him one night

So now let me get this great guy 10 11 or 12 how many was you have you out that's 13 of the current world champions that I've promoted

We got our identity fighters in our state right now, but I'm gonna tell you this, all right?

Business that's gonna be born

I'm gonna take those young stars all the way to the top

Here you go

Life is good my friend

Those Cubans straight from Castro himself

I thought about getting into the music business?

Cross over?

I don't follow you

Well

You know stadiums only

The biggest time is for the world that the Jackson is all back

Right or bigger than that

You've seen themselves on thriller

It won't be climbing the walls

It's micro gonna be there

Of course he's gonna be there

That's good to hear

Now what's in here for me?

I've been watching you die

I watch you like a hawk

I love the way you promote your fighters

You became a machiner

You know I just don't I think that you and I we came together and we get out

You want good partnership

Me and you I cut you a good deal

I like deals

I need

This from my boys

I need it

You know that I think they deserve that the roles, Royce, sponsorships

I mean merchandise and marketing, ya hear me?

I mean it's he's got the huge

And you and I can do it

It'll be called the "Victory tour".

I may have something for you

Yep

They want to get back in the game

You face of the brand

Do some commercials

Alright

I can see it

Yeah

But you wouldn't be bullshitting me would you, Joe?

Because if you can't get Michael...

So that's my favourite part

I'm gonna leave you to it, Michael

You can't go yet - I'm going to bed, I'm tired

You gotta stay for the ending that's the best part

Your mother is tired, baby

You mean if I make sure you turn the lights off

Gnite, mother

I love you

Why are you here?

Why? Can't a father visit his son?

Biggest selling record of all time

Well, a folk who came from Gary

Who would have thought?

Me

I thought

C'mere

Joseph, I know you want something

Michael

I'm going to need you to tour with your brothers

Now I let you do it album by yourself

I want you to do this for me

For your family

I'm not a child anymore Joseph

And you're not my manager

Here we go

I have to start living my own life

On my own

Just like everyone else

You ain't like everyone else

So you try to tell me you want to be treated like an adult

All right

You want to see what the world is like

Without a family that protects you

Without a family that

Understands you

Nobody else who understands you are outside this place

That you'll be with all the money in the world

Surrounded by people who say yes

to everything

Is that what you want?

Kind of says that me

I'm going to

Call Don King

And tell me you're doing a tour

I know you don't want to let your family down

All right, here's what I need

I'm thinking

I'm gonna move the camera and while you're up here

I need to get a close-up of you at the top

So just feel the camera should come down

Okay, okay, all right

Okay, everybody

Here we go. What is this?

We're gonna take six

Lucky six, lucky six

Here we go, energy everybody

You love the Jacksons, you love the Jacksons

You love Pepsi, let's go

Hey Marca

Hey Marca

See Marca

Get in the car

Get in the car

Get in the car

Go get in the car

I'm going

Fight for the car left

Move, get up, get off my way

How's it going?

I'm his father, Joseph Jackson

This is his mother, Catherine

Hi, sir. Good to meet you

Well, your son is in stable condition

And we're trying to bring his heart rate down to a water pain

Okay, when will he recover?

It's too soon to tell

It's going to be a long road

And he has 30 degree burns and some substantial nerve damage

Oh, do you think he'll ever be able to perform again?

Ever

Joseph

Mr. Jackson, your son almost died

Oh no, that fire had caught us close

Our burden over to his face and eyes

I know my boy

And the only thing that's going to heal him is by giving back on this stage

That's where he lives

I understand that, sir

I know you're going to be alive

Yes, I do, but Mr. Jackson

He's going to need your support to get there

I'm sorry

So likely that'll grow back

You'll need surgery to laser the scar tissue and stretch part of the scalp over the burden

I'm going certain implant to protect the scalp

We'll have the way away

I don't right there on time

What kind of way?

The full way?

Hard to say, there are prosthetic hairways we can try

But we won't know until we see how the surgery goes next week

You'll have to stay on the demoral for a while

I don't want to take medication

I have to be honest, Mr. Jackson, you're going to need them

We have to replace the implant periodically that nerves are exposed up there

You'll be in a lot of pain

And let your rest, and I'll be back later

You see the number of people you have already gathered outside the hospital

If that isn't a testament to the star power of Michael Jackson, I don't know what it is

All right, Joker, got all your favorites, Golden Temple

Got some extra candy for Chinese, fried chicken

Even got these these little red candies you like

Thanks Bill, you can just leave it there, not hungry

Okay

I'll leave you to it

Okay, thank you Bill

Okay

I'm sorry, Michael

I should have protected you

Mother, I don't want to discuss this right now

Okay

No one can stop Joseph

Nobody

You just know no matter what happens

I'm going to be here for you

Always

I should get some rest now, mom

It's not your fault

How are you feeling?

I'm okay

Still in a lot of pain

The doctors say I'm healing

That's good news

All these kids here

Won't fully heal and burns all of their bodies

Just breaks my heart

It truly does

You know, it got me thinking

I need to do more for them

How much are we getting for the accident?

It should be around seven fingers

I need every penny donated to the Burnt Center here

Please, you got to make that happen

Yeah, of course

I'm getting really sleepy

These pain meds

Get some rest

I'll come check on you more

Okay

Did you bring that?

Oh, the mouse, yeah

That's really good

I love that

Thank you, Branca

I'll see you tomorrow

See ya.

If that boy doesn't go on tour

Everything we have falls apart

I'm talking deals

Sponsored ships

Our reputation

Everything, everything just call

Everything here

The boys won't be able to tour anymore

And I might go

I just got out of ICU

Michael never wanted to do the thing to her tour to begin

When you plan this and tie them behind his back

When will your realize he's on his own path

And sometimes you need to get out of the way

Otherwise you're going to lose him

What about the other boys?

They'll find their own path

You know something Bill?

What's that?

God's been very good to me

That he had

Not just the accident

I almost died

I was given a second chance

Yeah

God give you a gift, son

A platform

To reach the whole world

I can't ignore that

No

I have to shine my light

Spread love

Enjoy

To heal

That's my destiny

I truly believe that

Why don't we focus on getting you healthy first?

Then we can do all those things you need to do

I'm going to do the tour

Are you sure?

For my family

But then I'm ready Bill

I'm going to look him straight in the eye

This is my life

My baggage

Mine

Let's go out there and get out of the stage

Yeah

Give me the audience for the concert

Bet you'll have it

I told you what to think

I love you guys

You know you're like everyone else

who think you're better than me, boy?

I really do

I love you too Mike

Nobody else will understand you outside this place

The Jacksons on 3

One

Two

Three

Jacksons

After I give you more of the rest

I'm planning an international tour

But Michael

Yeah we're going to have all the big arenas

And stadiums

This is just the beginning of the Victory tour

Yeah I'm more sure

Yeah we're going to hit every new continent

The first world we're going to Paris

London

This one is gonna be the biggest anyone has ever seen

I'd like to say thank you

But most of all, I want thank my brothers

And you fans.

Bring it down, bring it down. Turn down the music, bring it.

Listen up, I'd like to say, this is our last and final tour.

This is our Farewell Tour.

Y'all been wonderful, it's been a long 20 years.

And we love you all!

Good night, I love you

Michael, what have you said? What you saying?

Did I say we're done?

We're not done until I say we're done

Michael, let's talk about this.

Hey, Joe - I'm still your father! - It's over
