00:08Why can't we be like the trees that become, you know, they lose their leaves in the winter and then
00:15they come back, they're beautiful all over again in the spring, you know, and a sense of immortality to them.
00:23I think growing old is the ugliest thing and I never want to look in the mirror and see that.
00:28I want to always be youthful.
00:33They say when you die the soul dies, but there's the promise of the resurrection and all of that.
01:09That level of mega stardom is not healthy. People are not gods.
01:23Tonight, Jackson is wanted by police of multiple felony counts of child molestation.
01:31The Jackson machine just keeps right on rolling.
01:59The British documentary called Living with Michael Jackson has everybody talking.
02:05This is the way the Times newspaper in Britain covers it.
02:08Jackson faces ruin after admitting I slept with boys.
02:13Why can't you share your bed? The most loving thing to do is to share your bed with someone.
02:20Merely admitting that on television has created what one person says is the longest professional suicide note in history.
02:28This documentary started a disaster. It was clear. He was really in trouble with this.
02:38It's just a question of what does he do when he's in bed with them.
02:41I mean, anybody advising Michael Jackson would have to say, hey, don't do that.
02:45And after he did it, they must lock him up in a room and say, you've got to be kidding.
02:49But he's Michael Jackson. So probably nobody does that.
02:52He really was scared.
02:57It was Michael's biggest fear. After the documentary, the fans could go away.
03:03He could lose his whole brand, his reputation, everything he did.
03:20We were in Hotel Miami and middle in the night, Michael knocked on the door.
03:28He was crying. And he got a letter from his accountant saying, there's no money right now.
03:38You need to go in a smaller room.
03:40Then he was saying, can you believe that they put me out of the suite and put me in a
03:45small room?
03:57Are you a pedophile?
03:59Michael Jackson does not earn the kind of money he used to make.
04:02You know, at the height of his earnings power, this guy made $50 million a year.
04:05Guess what? His records don't sell anymore. And, you know, he's in a very tenuous spot right now.
04:10On song, but no longer making the notes. The latest claim that the Peter Pan of pop is nearly penniless.
04:17He's spending about $700,000 a week, which means that when he gets out of bed in the morning,
04:23he spent $100,000 before he's had coffee.
04:26We hope he's not broke, because he owes my client $12 million.
04:29All of the money that Michael has at this point, all the cash that he has, I should say, comes
04:33from loans.
04:34Everything is borrowed. Borrowed, borrowed, borrowed.
04:37Borrowed against the Michael Jackson catalog that has Billie Jean and Beat It and all his hit songs.
04:42Borrowed against the Beatles catalog.
04:46Michael Jackson celebrated his 45th birthday in true Jackson style.
04:52It was just him and the fans.
04:54After all he's been through, they still love him.
04:58The King of Power.
05:02Michael told me very clear that now, as it's over with touring, now he starts with new business.
05:09The fans are going to keep the business machine moving.
05:13There's going to be a new Michael Jackson clothing line.
05:18Resort, hotels.
05:22We promise to make Neverland more accessible to the fans.
05:29What the media tries to say about you, Michael, and we don't believe you're worried of him.
05:34He's perfect and he's an angel.
05:36And I don't care what anybody says.
05:38Michael!
05:43Michael!
05:45Michael!
05:48Michael!
05:50Michael!
05:52Michael!
05:52Michael!
05:56Michael!
05:57In 2003, I was a prosecutor specializing in child sexual abuse cases.
06:02I got a call to go see the district attorney.
06:07And he showed me a two-page report.
06:10It involved an allegation of child sexual abuse.
06:13It said Michael Jackson on it.
06:17And I thought, oh my gosh, he's back.
06:29That scene in the documentary was played over and over and over again.
06:34Of Gavin Arvizo sitting next to Michael Jackson and resting his head on his shoulder and holding his hand.
06:41And I knew it was an inappropriate relationship.
06:44You can sit right there, buddy.
06:48We are going to try our best to make a case.
06:53Okay?
06:53A criminal case.
06:54We're going to try our best.
06:55But you need to understand that we're going to need your cooperation.
07:00Gavin, can you tell us what your conversations, what you guys talked about?
07:04He said that he wants to show me how I masturbate.
07:08Okay, okay.
07:09I said no.
07:11He started masturbating.
07:14Okay.
07:15I told him no more.
07:20Good evening.
07:21For years, pop star Michael Jackson has denied having inappropriate contact with children.
07:26And he has never been charged.
07:29But tonight, Jackson is wanted by police.
07:31We would encourage him to turn himself in and cooperate with law enforcement.
07:34Yeah.
07:35What have you heard?
07:36Any sightings?
07:38Not yet.
07:39We're all on the lookout, though.
07:45We were in the hotel in Vegas.
07:48Somebody called me and told me, did they watch TV?
07:53The police went to the ranch.
07:57The service of the warrants was part of an ongoing investigation alleging criminal misconduct on the part of Michael Jackson.
08:05When I told him, as a new charge from this young boy, Aviso, he was so deeply shocked that I
08:13think he's going to die.
08:19And then something terrible happened.
08:23The director of the hotel told us to leave right away.
08:28They did not want to have somebody with discharges in the hotel.
08:34Michael was out of control.
08:36And was screaming, why you close the door in front of me?
08:41They didn't allow him to come in.
08:43But then I told him, Michael, look, this time you have to fight it.
08:54Jackson flying from Las Vegas to Santa Barbara turns himself into the Santa Barbara sheriff.
08:59Michael Jackson has been booked on charges of child molestation.
09:03The famous shot you'll see plastered all over newspapers around the world.
09:06Michael Jackson in handcuffs.
09:09Michael Jackson today went from being the gloved one to the fingerprinted one.
09:20I just sat down and say, not again.
09:22Seven counts of child molestation.
09:25I told him, you don't know these wicked people.
09:28The people are just mean and wicked.
09:29The bail amount on the warrant has been sent at $3 million.
09:33He'll tarnish your reputation.
09:35And people will always remember you the way they said he was, not the way he really is.
09:41How do you view the guy now?
09:43Probably not in a good way.
09:45Definitely don't respect him.
09:55Reporters, cameras, and helicopters have been chasing the Jackson story around Southern California.
10:00Fox has confirmed he is now back in Las Vegas, and here are the pictures to prove it.
10:04Hold on, he's coming out. Hold on, hold on, hold on.
10:07I remember when we went to the airport, we took blankets and tried to stop all the press taking pictures.
10:22He was so deeply shocked about the situation, how they treated him.
10:30Later on, he showed me this bruise on his arm, on his shoulder.
10:34He was thinking the police, the system, America, was against him.
10:45It's just very painful.
10:47This has been kind of a pattern among black luminaries.
10:53Other people in the past who've gone through this sort of thing.
10:57Mandela's story has given me a lot of strength, what he's gone through.
11:01I'm very strong, I have rhinoceros skin, but at the same time I'm human.
11:05You know, so anything can hurt like that.
11:12I wanted to let you know that this is Michael Jackson's car as they ride through Las Vegas.
11:16He keeps rolling his window down at intersections like this.
11:19People have been coming up to the window and he's been reaching out, shaking their hands.
11:24I think they're setting him up. I mean, none of this makes any sense, you know.
11:29I love him so much. I mean, he needs us, you know.
11:33And no matter what, I'll believe in him and I'm here for him.
11:43Michael was ready to fight.
11:47He was focused completely on this whole problem.
11:52Then the new security people came in and his lawyers and his accountants showed up.
12:01Michael's empire and reputation was at risk.
12:07And this situation was terrible for me because I had to leave.
12:12I could do nothing anymore. They took over completely.
12:17It was the end of my work with Michael Jackson.
12:31Hey, I need to speak to Angela. Now every crew is here and my crew is not here. I'm still
12:36having a meeting today. What's going on?
12:39I got an assignment.
12:40There's going to be this huge Michael Jackson business meeting, the summit. Find out all about it. And if you
12:47can, get in there.
12:54I had this little sort of minicam that I was walking around with to the annoyance of everybody.
13:00Can I get a brief statement?
13:05I was a journalist reporting for celebrity justice and that later kind of morphed into TMZ.
13:16So if you guys want to just, you know, shoot the room, do what you want, it's going to last
13:21about five minutes.
13:24It was all very confusing.
13:27Oh, were we invited? How did we hear about it?
13:30This is the Michael Jackson smoke and mirrors world.
13:33Is there a reason why you wanted us to see the type of business meeting it is?
13:37No, no. The reason is you all are here.
13:39Right.
13:41You had Charles Koppelman, an industry legend.
13:45You had Al Malnick. He's the one who bailed Michael Jackson out to the tune of $3 million when he
13:51was arrested.
13:52Then you had Leonard Muhammad, who is a top echelon Nation of Islam guy.
13:57And you had John Branca, the genius behind getting the Beatles catalog.
14:03And so these super heavyweights, they were there to keep the glue together, right, in the Jackson Empire.
14:10There are people who have wondered who is in charge. Can you clarify that, sir?
14:15Michael is in charge. Clearly, Michael is in charge.
14:20Will he be taking part in today's meeting, Mr. Koppelman?
14:23He may. He's welcome at any time.
14:26Do you plan on seeing him at the meeting today?
14:28He's welcome at any time.
14:30Constantly they say that Mr. Jackson is in financial trouble. Can you clarify that, sir?
14:35Again, do we look worried?
14:36Total BS. Total BS.
14:39Mr. Muhammad.
14:40There's nothing normal about this meeting because Michael Jackson was about to be subjected to the most high-profile trial.
14:47The fact that his finances were such a convoluted mess with debt, with loans, with mortgages, with skyrocketing interest payments.
14:57Obviously, this was the crisis summit. The brand was on life support.
15:02And if it died right there, it wasn't going to have a future.
15:10CNN has confirmed that a grand jury that's been meeting to consider charges of child molestation against pop star Michael
15:17Jackson has, in fact, indicted Michael Jackson.
15:21We've just received this release from Michael Jackson's attorneys saying he will appear and enter a plea of not guilty.
15:28I know you know him, Donald. Any reaction to this?
15:31Well, I know him very well. He's lived in my buildings. He lived in Trump Tower, and I know him
15:35very well. And I don't believe it. I'm going to stick up for him because nobody else is.
15:42Why would he turn around and say, Michael Jackson sexually molested me, if it weren't true?
15:49Because parents have power over children. This is not him. No. I know his heart.
16:02It was past midnight, and the telephone rang, and I hear, hello?
16:08I said, Michael, is that you?
16:10Brian, is that you?
16:12Oh, Brian, I'm so scared.
16:14Did you see what happened today?
16:16Yes, I did, Michael.
16:18This is not good, Michael.
16:21Brian, what am I going to do?
16:22I said, what we do is we have to find out everything there is to know about this family.
16:29Everybody has dirt. Everybody. They are not clean.
16:34And from what I hear, they're really dirty, Michael.
16:37And we will find the dirt on these people.
16:40And he said, do it. Do it, Brian.
16:45I am Brian Oxman. I am a former attorney for Michael Jackson.
16:52I have known all of the Jackson family for most of my life.
16:57My first client was Randy Jackson.
16:59I did his divorce, and then I did Jermaine's divorce, and then I did Jackie's divorce,
17:05and then I did Tito's divorce, Latoya's divorce, and I did Michael's divorce.
17:13I am part of this family.
17:15It's sort of like Hotel California.
17:18You can check out any time you want, but you can never leave.
17:29Michael, come over here. Shake your hands. Michael!
17:35When I got to Santa Maria for the trial, the press was camped out like it was the end of
17:41the world.
17:42It was bigger than O.J. Simpson, which I had been at.
17:45This was in a small town that was hard to get to, but the whole place was taken over by
17:50this.
17:51It was an extraordinary thing.
17:53For you, my brother!
17:55For my brother!
17:56For my brother!
17:57He is here!
17:58Michael!
17:59He is here!
18:00One!
18:01One!
18:02One!
18:03Three!
18:03Four!
18:04Michael!
18:05Five!
18:07Five!
18:08Five!
18:08Five!
18:12When Michael went to his arraignment, it was a deluge of fans.
18:16They were going crazy.
18:19And in his own showmanship way, he let them know, I am not afraid.
18:32People should appreciate real ability.
18:35I don't care if you're the most talented person in the world.
18:37You have to know how to play your audience.
18:40And it's not just a game.
18:42It's real for me.
18:44It really is.
18:53He had no shortage of lawyers.
18:56So, I mean, they got every single piece of paper, every single document that had ever generated by any member
19:06of the family, medical records, psych records, school records, business records.
19:12They got it by way of a subpoena without notifying the prosecution.
19:19Stop the racism!
19:20Five!
19:21Five!
19:22Five!
19:23Five!
19:24Five!
19:25Five!
19:26Five!
19:27Five!
19:27Five!
19:28Five!
19:29The family is being harassed by these subpoenas.
19:32They said the so-called victim's family is going into witness protection.
19:38So I needed to find them.
19:40I called my friend and she says I'll find em for you.
19:46So she called the grandmother and asked if she had their new address, and she said, Sure, and she gave
19:52it to us.
19:57it was to make it clear that michael jackson was not backing down
20:10years ago i allowed a family to visit and spend time in neverland i allowed this family into my
20:16home because they told me their son was ill with cancer and needed my help these events have
20:22caused a nightmare for my family my children and me i never intend to place myself in so vulnerable
20:29a position ever again i will be acquitted and vindicated when the truth is told
20:38opening statements began today the defense is expected to describe jackson as the victim
20:42of a money-hungry mom who coached her son to lie for cash the prosecution on the other hand will
20:48paint jackson as a wicked pedophile who got a sick boy drunk to molest him this is a trial for
20:54his
20:54life not just his freedom his life everything's on the line
21:05in court the prosecution played the living with michael jackson movie the documentary which created
21:12this whole furor and what happened as that program progressed the jury they were bouncing and dancing
21:21and snapping their fingers to michael's music this was michael's magic infecting everybody
21:29this affected the entire course of the trial
21:38we we had one witness who worked at neverland
21:42and he told us that he brought to michael jackson's room wine while the boys were there and when he
21:49was
21:49on the witness stand he said he brought coca-cola to the room i said didn't you tell us that
21:55it was
21:55wine it was alcohol that he brought to the room i was mistaken one after the other witnesses would
22:02walk into court you would just watch them look over see michael jackson and their their demeanor
22:08changed he was a very powerful person
22:20the pop star didn't show up to court this morning until the judge threatened to have him arrested
22:25jackson failed to show up in court at 8 30 a.m for testimony from the teen who claimed jackson
22:31molested
22:32him when jackson did arrive an hour and 10 minutes late he appeared to shovel his hair a bit messy

22:42he tripped this morning and he fell in the early morning hours while he was getting dressed his back
22:47is in terrible pain

25:50jackson's neverland ranch what's going on
26:04michael jackson entered the courthouse to learn his fate
26:08you've got to wonder what is going through his mind at this point
26:22he really thinks they're going to be riots in the streets if he's convicted
26:25he really believes that he really believes that somehow this injustice will be overturned
26:30instantly because who would put the king of pop in jail
26:40the people of the state of california plaintiff versus michael joe jackson defendant
26:46case number 1133603 verdict

27:17out of this courtroom of three men
27:34was i disappointed sure
27:37you never as a prosecutor want to hear the words not guilty
27:42i felt that it was remarkably obvious that he was molesting children i was mystified why other
27:51people didn't see it everything about him just a screen child molester he needs to you know stay low
27:59for a while and keep the adults at the ranch and maybe stay away from the kids for a little
28:04bit
28:04maybe bring some girls over michael come on now
28:07the result was innocent but so many americans thought he was guilty
28:15michael was extremely concerned about all of these people
28:19he would complain to his mom and to his dad to everybody to me
28:24what exactly is happening to michael jackson today
28:36it's the same thing what always happens nancy this guy doesn't pay his bills
28:42how much are we talking about talking about nearly 300 million dollar outstanding debt
28:47after the trial a lot of people were saying michael jackson put himself into exile
28:51right
28:55he had to not only leave neverland but he left the united states of america
29:00he pops up in bahrain and of course he's friends with the royal family and living like the king of
29:09pop
29:09again borrowing millions of dollars from his host
29:18then it's where's michael jackson he's left bahrain
29:23oh wait hold on he's in ireland ireland
29:27at around four o'clock today michael jackson emerged from his scheduled airlingous flight
29:31he made his way down the plane steps holding a masked child's hand
29:34jackson and his traveling party boarded a silver volkswagen minibus
29:38via the vip exit of the airport
29:45michael jackson was trying to figure out what am i going to do with the rest of my life
29:49ireland is kind of a little out of the way
29:51and he was able to live kind of a tranquil life he hoped anyway
30:01in june 2006 rumors started circulating in the irish press that michael jackson incited in
30:07different places but we did i didn't think much of it so we were quite surprised when the door
30:15opened and the patient said hello um my name is michael jackson it wasn't too long before michael
30:23entrusted us with his aesthetic treatments we treated in that period his bottom of his ankles
30:30were beginning to turn black again and he wanted us to increase the bleaching cream to a stronger
30:36percentage he didn't really have any money i mean his credit cards bounced on many occasions
30:43i remember one time he was in our big glass showroom and he started pocketing quite a lot of the
30:51cosmetics some of the things were worth between 100 and um 500 euro and he had a big sort of
30:59jacket
30:59coat on and when i ran into him he had as many maybe as 20 or 30 of these products
31:05in his pocket
31:06focus and he just laughed i think as time progressed you could see that michael became happier and
31:14happier living in ireland he said that he'd love to settle here away from the press our friendship
31:22became closer and when i was down in his house he opened up to me i think he felt trapped
31:29between
31:31finding finding a new location to live and having to go back to the united states to overcome those
31:39financial struggles
31:44i could see that this did play on his mind
32:09i was asked would i be interested in doing a security detail for a dignitary that was coming to town
32:19in the united states mr jackson mr jackson i call him mr jackson um he was returning to the states
32:25on the basis of being a headliner in las vegas
32:40there was a lot going on i mean he had a lot going on
32:46he was raising three kids that he wanted to do on his own
32:54mr jackson mr jackson moved into the house which was on monte crystal
32:58we realized that he did have insomnia even though we had armed security at the property
33:06we would see him walking throughout the house at night checking doors
33:13there's a very lonely world
33:21there's always someone trying to see him
33:25business associates all different type producers trying to get at him
33:38i think it put him into seclusion a little bit
33:45michael we love you we love you michael you're in the bed
33:49most of the child stars don't make it because they become self-destructive they destroy themselves
33:53because of that pressure you know they want you to stay young forever and keep you small
34:01but what's happened to me it's a rarity to come through this fire and out the other end the way
34:08i
34:08have anybody else would probably be dead by now or a junkie or something with what i've been to
34:21there he is david beckham the huge international star is coming to america
34:31my partner and i paul work for a division of aeg the core business is live entertainment sports you
34:40know those kind of things aeg had just done a deal with david beckham to play for the la galaxy
34:49it's nice to see so many fans and i thank you for that
34:55when michael saw that he was really excited he was kind of jumping around the room and saying hey
35:00you guys should do a david beckham deal with me remember that michael's last tour was the history
35:08tour in 1997 so this would have been a good 12 years after that so the anticipation of being able
35:20to
35:20see michael jackson live was i don't know i can't think anything really that would be bigger than
35:27that
35:36i remember the day he signed the deal when this is this is it was in formation he came out
35:43and said bill
35:44now you're gonna see the vultures i started to get all the phone calls from people that we've never
35:54heard from before people were coming out the woodwork they wanted to be part of this tour
36:01they wanted to be part of him i always said it mr jackson was a big atm
36:15i feel my heart it's going boom boom boom right now seriously
36:20since i was little yeah i used to come home from nursery yeah put in his mouth with my michael
36:24jackson
36:24video and that's it i was gone he's like he taught me how to dance everything man he's gonna be
36:28sick
36:31london was michael's probably biggest market in the world
36:36our plans were that the tour would go global
36:40i've bought every single album i've been to every single tour and i'm gonna go to every single day
36:46that he releases that i can get my hands on you're obviously a very rich woman then no i'm not
36:51it's
36:51the credit crunch it's my credit card this is it tour was gonna be much bigger than uh anything he
36:57had
36:57he had done do you really think you can come back after everything that's happened it's nothing
37:01happened it's just the media in it so it's fine port case rumors of financial problems rubbish rubbish
37:08this is michael jackson you know he's he's the king of pop
37:14ready for this
37:39so it's it's been a while and everyone's waiting and waiting and waiting
37:47they didn't realize that michael was uh drunk hang out of it
37:54i was at the o2 and they were back at the hotel with michael trying to get him going because
37:58things
37:58were going very slowly while we were waiting i kind of wrote a real a really short speech
38:04and when michael walked in he came over to me and he gave me a big hug
38:08and i said here's the speech and he went and he whispered in my ear make the words really big
38:13i can't see
38:23i mean the crowd just erupted
38:30i love you
38:33he just started to bask in it he started to glow in a way you know i think he was
38:40overwhelmed actually
38:52i just want to say that this will be it this is it and when i say this is it
38:58it really means this is it
38:59because these will be my final show performances this is it and see you in july
39:21so what happened was we ended up at 50 shows
39:28i've never seen demand like that
39:33we had about 15 000 sellable seats per show they all went for 50 shows
39:41you got a calculator up to the math
39:52we're kind of excited and michael's coming today there's the man there's michael the man is here
39:58during rehearsals michael knew exactly what he wanted but it was kenny who ran the rehearsals
40:03michael really didn't have to say anything to anyone because kenny was so on top of it
40:08michael it's not easy though michael one more time i couldn't hear you sir
40:13the inner ears are very difficult for me when you're raised
40:16to use just your real own you know oral oratory ears yeah is it it's not like it feels like
40:22somebody's
40:23fishes just their fist is shoved into your ear mr jackson was not happy privately he felt that
40:31physically he was not prepared to do that many shows in that short a time he said to me directly
40:41he said bill
40:42i can't do 50 shows bill it would kill me but he was going to make a lot of money
40:48from this show
40:59i'm just trying to conserve my throat please so i understand
41:10i'm very hard on myself
41:14i would dance until i would almost pass out sometimes i'll have to do this for the rest of
41:21my life i'm under contract
41:27it's like being on a ride and you can't get off and say oh my god what did i do
41:32and you're committed you can't get off
41:40i would watch michael and uh the impression i got was kind of lost
41:48he was dealing with an addiction issue
41:52i was watching you know pills come in and pills go out
41:58you see people with fatty or other things in street drugs that they're not alive but they're not
42:03dead yet and it just had this feeling of like limbo
42:11the assumption i think that a lot of people think is that he he's being controlled and that he doesn't
42:17know what he's doing that isn't true he knew what he was doing and he knows what kind of drugs
42:23he's taking
42:26but michael was surrounded by people that wanted to please him people he chose to surround himself with
42:39but he is going downward and so you you you have to ask yourself where am i going you know
42:48where
42:48what's what's the next train stop
42:57it's an american tragedy the tragedy was not that he was taking prescriptions on medication
43:04the tragedy was that this man who got more attention than any human being that that might
43:10have ever lived in the history of the world was still so utterly lonely
43:42it's going to end up being all these two of us is here
43:44oh my god yeah someone's coming out an ambulance
43:54look at that look at that this is so i'm looking to be in the news man
44:00that's real hollywood excitement on your two or four
44:02uh you just saw michael jackson uh ostensibly being taken away in an ambulance with the paparazzi
44:11racing after dude that's gonna be on the internet later on like oh my god
44:23i was at macy's they kept saying michael's dead michael's dead dropped everything and just came running out here
44:38i walked into the emergency room
44:43and i looked through the doors and i could see the family
44:47and i saw latoya and she was leaning up against the wall
44:54and then i saw her slump to the ground and sat on the floor
45:02and i said right then and there i said michael jackson is dead
45:07michael jackson is dead
45:29this is hard um
45:32my brother the legendary king of pop michael jackson
45:37passed away on thursday june 25th 2009 at 2 26 pm
45:44it is believed he suffered cardiac arrest in his home

46:04it will happen tomorrow at some point between 7 a.m and three o'clock in the afternoon
46:09after that the body will then be released to the family

46:29in my mind i was saying to myself you stupid stupid man
46:35i begged you i warned you you've now orphaned your children there's nothing you loved more in
46:42the world than your children you were the only one who could protect them and now you orphan your
46:46children you stupid man
47:03michael's demons that i think he was dealing with was self-loathing
47:10well you don't have to feel anything if you're on um damerol you just numb it all away
47:20he felt desperate to change but couldn't and he actually ends up finding people that help him to his
47:29death is that the most crazy thing in the world
47:41if somebody would have just told the truth he would probably be alive but nobody did michael jackson t-shirts
47:49michael jackson t-shirts king of pop king of pop come down here guys go support michael
47:55give me 220. how many did you make i think it's 1500 t-shirts so it's all 40 we've been

48:25died 1500 inmates in the philippines pull together a brand new tribute to the king of pop
48:32michael jackson's fans have always been committed and when he died it didn't diminish at all
48:39in fact it became stronger
49:01tonight a family's pain for the very first time since jackson's shocking unexpected death
49:07jackson's family is speaking out do you know anything mr jackson about funeral arrangements
49:11have you had time yeah we haven't gotten to that yet yeah but we're working on that you said your
49:15wife is how what about janet and the rest of the family the daughters and they're all doing fine but
49:20i want to make this statement this is a real good statement yeah marshall and i have they we own
49:26a record company called tenor ranch records right okay distributed by blu-ray technology and that's
49:33his next step and that's your next step for most of his life michael's father was constantly coming
49:42to him for money also with schemes so you could save joseph jackson it was very opportunistic
49:53even when michael died nothing changed hello everybody what i'm doing is i established a record
50:01company and this is marshall by the way marshall go ahead
50:08okay what's happening is uh in the entertainment side we're going all the way back to the beginning
50:13we are going back to michael jackson's legacy and we're going to bring them our way back to the top
50:18we love you michael's will was brought to his family a couple days after his death
50:38it was absolutely startling joe jackson and his children were not included in the will
50:49and uh i filed objections how do you feel about michael not including you in the will i didn't
50:54think that they were given the consideration that they should have been how do you feel about michael
50:59not including you in the way thank you joe joining us from la is jackson family attorney brian oxman
51:07good morning mr oxman good morning how are you i'm fine thank you for joining us is it safe to
51:12assume that
51:12michael jackson did not want his father whom he very publicly accused of abuse to control neither his
51:18estate nor his children joe jackson is a good man michael loved his father and i want that to be
51:25known
51:26uh throughout all of time
51:35michael jackson's brothers and sisters work left nothing it's a slap in the face i mean
51:43they were there from the beginning
51:47jackson five right
51:52now john branca and another business type were named co-executors of michael jackson's estate
52:00there was a tug of war between the jackson family and the executors about the will last week randy jermaine
52:08janet tito and rebe signed a stunning letter to the executors of michael's will they're crying
52:13conspiracy over his death calling the will fake flawed and fraudulent jane help me out here what
52:20the heck is going on one word money money money money money
52:39michael was massively in debt when he died 500 million dollars
52:45but the inherent value of his work was such that there was money to be made
52:51as concert promoters we had spent a lot of money close to i think 40 million dollars already on the
52:59this is it project so the day that michael passed we went around and collected everyone's hard drives
53:07any any footage of michael
53:11taking a quick little tour here and then we produced the theatrical release that went to dvd
53:18it was the the story of uh making of the tour all those hits and all those great songs
53:25and seeing michael jackson live and people wanted to see it
53:38this is us going to premiere hey that's when john brankett who ran michael's estate jumped in and made
53:45the deal with sony he managed to maximize this revenue in ways that i you know i i couldn't believe
53:53it we think that the movie this is it gave fans a pretty good glimpse at the real michael
53:59he was a perfectionist and at the same time he was a humanitarian branka steered that beautifully
54:05i mean this is it was the highest grossing concert documentary of all time that deal got us all of
54:11our
54:11the money back and then some gold michael go
54:22this is it dvd and the theatrical release just made a huge amount of money for the estate
54:29but it was just the beginning of what they were going to do
54:33they cleared michael's debt put neverland up for sale and then they did their show in las vegas the
54:41serp de soleil show the estate became a money-making machine he's raking in more than any musician in
54:49history years after his death
55:08your view of american icon michael jackson will never be the same once you hear about the new
55:14documentary leaving neverland once the abuse started within that first week you know every
55:25night that i was with him there was abuse
55:31you know he started talking about how much he loves me
55:34what this is is us how we show our love for each other the new documentary detailing abuse
55:43accusations against michael jackson has sparked a new debate about his legacy i found the testimony
55:49from the two alleged victims of jackson to be incredibly compelling and visceral in a way that
55:54the criminal trials and previous accusations had not been so personally as a listener my relationship
55:59to this music has changed completely jackson's estate filed suit against hbo they actually called
56:04this documentary a public lynching it may be too soon to know if there will be a lasting impact on
56:09the
56:09popularity of jackson's music after the film leaving neverland the estate was really shaken
56:18those accusations could have been the end of everything
56:28but the estate kept their eyes on the prize and michael's legacy survived
56:52the michael jackson story is about one of the great performers of all time he was a genius
57:01and yet he was very troubled and problematical and now in death the executors of michael jackson's
57:09estate are working ferociously to erase the problematical side of michael jackson and focus entirely on his
57:18his younger years his younger years his creative years and focus on the music
57:29this is the most extraordinary effort to uncancel someone
57:38the show must go on
58:04this is
58:05incredible incredible journey
58:09i've seen children just shower all over me with love they want to just touch me and hug me just
58:16hold on
58:17and cry and not let go
58:19i really believe
58:23that children are god
58:26when i look in the eyes of a child it's like god saying michael everything will be okay
