00:16C'est mon inspiration.
00:34What made me hold on, what has saved my life, is children.
00:43Because being a celebrity and then becoming an icon, like an international phenomenon,
00:49you see how vindictive man can be, how cruel, how abusive, how judgmental.
00:58But children represent honesty, just a pure innocence.
01:05And I'm in love with innocence.
01:10That's what I'm in love with.
01:22The number one artist in the world!
01:35That level of mega stardom is not healthy.
01:40People are not gods.
01:49Tonight, Jackson is wanted by police of multiple felony counts of child molestation.
01:57The Jackson machine just keeps right on rolling.
02:27Sony Corporation believes it has a profitable partner.
02:31And Michael Jackson.
02:32Together, they could make a billion dollars.
02:35As NBC's Mike Jensen reports tonight, teach your kids to sing.
02:48It's the kind of contract that takes your breath away.
02:52A projected one billion dollars for six Michael Jackson albums, plus feature films, videos, and video games.
03:01Michael, in the 1980s, you had the largest selling album in history with Thriller.
03:07Now, with Dangerous, you've given us the fastest selling album of your career.
03:12We're prouder than ever to have you part of the Sony Music family.
03:15The thrilling fact is that the best is definitely yet to come.
03:23When I joined Sony, Michael Jackson was the biggest star in the world.
03:28And he was the guy.
03:30I don't know any other way to describe it.
03:32I mean, we all lived through it.
03:34The Michael Jackson World Tour is on the road again.
03:40It was incredibly exciting.
03:42We're selling out stadiums, making record money.
03:46It was the franchise.
03:47I mean, let's be honest.
03:51We are all in the business of succeeding.
03:54And when you're working in a company like Sony Music, you want a Michael Jackson to succeed.
04:08My name is Rosabelle Smith, and for 31 years, I was employed by the Los Angeles Police Department.
04:16In 1993, while working juvenile division of the LAPD, I was working the sexually exploited child unit.
04:23I was advised by my supervisor, who was the officer in charge of the unit, that a case had come
04:28in involving a young boy who was 13 years of age, and that the perpetrator was Michael Jackson.
04:37I was a little in disbelief that it was Michael Jackson doing this, because I grew up watching Michael Jackson,
04:46you know, the Jackson 5 cartoons when I was a kid, and I really enjoyed his music.
04:56But we had a job to do, and that job was to go out and just handle it just like
05:01any other case at that time.
05:05Our role was to find out if Mr. Jackson had committed the crime of sexual molestation against children.
05:16And on the same token, we had to find out if the children, they were telling the truth.
05:27We had to interview the victim.
05:35The victim had actually met Michael Jackson at a restaurant who was very, very little.
05:42Then, years later, that relationship grew, and they began to visit each other.
05:50The victim was alleging that Michael would oftentimes rub his body against his body.
05:59He alleged that Michael Jackson fondled him and masturbated him.
06:05He alleged that Michael liked to have his nipples rubbed, squeezed, kissing.
06:14Then that graduated to oral copulation.
06:17They bathed together, and to the point where eventually Michael Jackson consumed his semen.
06:32We had heard on the grapevine that there were these allegations circulating.
06:39And it was a shock to everybody.
06:42Yeah, we knew he was hanging with kids, but I saw him hang with the kids, and I saw that
06:48it was completely innocent.
06:51I saw he was playing games with them.
06:53I saw the kids wanting to hang with him.
07:00I really hoped the allegations weren't true.
07:05The feeling was trying to contain it.
07:09Obviously, we were thinking of, you know, the immediate impact on the tour, because you've got to keep the business
07:15going, the tour going, the album sales, everything, and the impact of that.
07:19So it was pretty tense.
07:21We went into crisis mode, both with our team and the PR team.
07:27But ultimately, the story was so huge, it was going to get out, no matter what we did.
07:33There was no stopping it.
07:39In Southern California, the press, police, lawyers, and private investigators are in orbit tonight over an investigation of child abuse
07:47allegations involving superstar Michael Jackson.
07:49There's still no comment from Michael Jackson this morning, and Los Angeles police aren't saying much, but they have confirmed
07:56reports of a criminal investigation of the pop superstar.
08:00All hell broke loose.
08:01Television station KNBC in Los Angeles first broke the story last night saying that a mother had alleged Jackson abused
08:08her child.
08:09August 17th, the Los Angeles Police Department initiated a criminal investigation of entertainer Michael Jackson.
08:18Every news channel, every hour, the top story was Michael Jackson.
08:23Confidential documents obtained by NBC News quoted the boy's reference to acts of oral sex and masturbation.
08:30The allegations now surfacing are ugly enough to shatter any icon's image.
08:34Kids everywhere are talking about the scandalous accusations, hoping they're not true.
08:41Has Michael Jackson ever molested a child, ever done anything improper with a child?
08:46No, never.
08:47No, never.
08:48No, never.
08:48That's crazy.
08:49My son is not guilty.
08:51He need a child.
08:53These people aren't waiting.
08:54They're trying to, um, trying to, they're trying him.
08:57That's right, and I'm tired of it.
09:07Open the window, open the window, open the window, open the window, open the window, open the window.
09:23Everything was suddenly bad.
09:29Everything was, um, emotional.
09:34Talking to Michael was different, because he was different.
09:37Suddenly he was no longer the happy Michael that I used to talk to.
09:41He sounded depressed.
09:43I felt like it was over.
09:46Like there was no way he could come back from these terrible things being said.
09:50for a moment.
10:18Eventually, he came back to America.
10:24We had the information from the victim about Michael's body
10:31and specifically the markings on his body.
10:35So the only way that a child would see that is if Michael was nude,
10:42then our unit prepared a search warrant to search or to view Michael's body,
10:48and this included the genitals.
10:50We explained to him,
10:51we have a search warrant signed by the judge
10:54to take pictures of your private parts.
10:59He said, you assholes.
11:02The outcome was that evidence that was provided by Jordan Chander
11:12he was confirmed.
11:16Can I help you?
11:18Yeah, we'd like to talk to Michael Jackson.
11:21Has he come back?
11:22No comment, sir.
11:24No comment, huh?
11:25I don't necessarily think he's guilty,
11:27but I don't necessarily think he's innocent either
11:29because I don't know.
11:32Well, I don't know if he's guilty or not,
11:33but I think that he needs to come back and face the charges.
11:35He's looking pretty guilty right now.
11:39Hang in. Hang in.
11:42There is real fear tonight
11:44that the catastrophic publicity
11:46will result in the destruction of a billion-dollar empire
11:50and the ruin of a man.
11:56Sony stock has fallen
11:58because investors are very much concerned
12:00that the huge investment that they have in Michael Jackson
12:03is, in fact, not going to pay off.
12:07When the allegations surfaced,
12:12I read them, watched them on TV like everyone else did,
12:18and I felt that they were extremely unfair.
12:22Michael Jackson was unequivocally
12:25the biggest artist in the company.
12:30And if he's not succeeding,
12:34guess what? Jobs get lost.
12:38Is Michael Jackson going to make any statement?
12:41He's got a whole cadre of international cameras there every night.
12:51But to that point, Michael had been laying low.
12:54But once the allegations are out there,
12:57you can't take them back again.
13:01And so we needed to get him in front of the public
13:03to unequivocally deny these allegations.
13:09Michael Jackson came out of seclusion today
13:12without leaving home.
13:13The pop star angrily rejected accusations
13:15he molested a young boy
13:17and lashed out at police and the media.
13:19There have been many disgusting statements
13:23made recently concerning allegations
13:25of improper conduct on my part.
13:28These statements about me are totally false.
13:31At every opportunity,
13:32the media has dissected and manipulated
13:35these allegations to reach their own conclusions.
13:38I ask all of you to wait and hear the truth
13:41before you label or condemn me.
13:43Don't treat me like a criminal,
13:45because I am innocent.
13:48Jackson's defiant declaration of innocence
13:50comes as the latest counterpoint
13:52in a case that's saturated with rumor, innuendo,
13:56and almost daily revelations about the singer.
13:59Separating fact from fiction can be difficult.
14:16For years I have been working for Michael,
14:18who unfortunately has been the victim of this
14:21and other types of extortion attempts.
14:23The demand for $20 million was made and presented.
14:27It was flatly and consistently refused.
14:30Many people try to extort Michael
14:33because of who he is and, you know,
14:34the amount of money he has,
14:36and these people wanted $20 million.
14:37As far as the victim is concerned,
14:40I did not get anything
14:42as far as any, like, money, motivation.
14:46However, the parents were a different story.
14:49The Hollywood Reporter, an entertainment trade paper,
14:52said today that the boy's father
14:53had negotiated with Jackson
14:55for a $20 million movie deal.
14:57The father is a prominent Beverly Hills dentist
15:00and part-time screenwriter.
15:02CBS News has obtained a taped phone conversation.
15:05The voice is reportedly the father
15:07of the 13-year-old boy.
15:09If I go through with this, I win big time.
15:11I will get everything I want.
15:13The father did, in fact, ask for money
15:17to keep the situation quiet.
15:19So it did hurt the case a little bit.
15:24I think it's pathetic that somebody would go after
15:26someone like Michael Jackson with such vigor,
15:29and it's obvious what they want.
15:31And it seems obvious to me that he is innocent.
15:33I know that there's a lot of people in this business
15:35that try and take advantage of people.
15:37And, you know, I'm sure that it will all work out,
15:41and I'm sure that he's innocent, you know,
15:42but only God knows the truth, you know.
15:48More and more, people started to question the allegations.
15:54So the management team started capitalizing
15:57on that momentum.
15:59The main strategy was to endear Michael
16:05to the Black community
16:08and to get the Black community back on Michael's side,
16:11because once the Black community's behind you,
16:14you got it, because, you know, we're a big group.
16:17And race relations at that time,
16:21it was a hotbed.
16:27Parts of Los Angeles erupted in unrest
16:31after a jury acquitted four white Los Angeles police officers
16:35over the videotape beating of Rodney King,
16:38a black motorist.
16:50What happened with Rodney King,
16:52it doesn't make no sense to me.
16:54They're treating black people like we're dogs, you know,
16:56like we can't get nowhere.
16:58We have no rights that the white man respects.
17:01Race is tearing America apart.
17:05Now more than ever,
17:07minority Americans believe there are two kinds of justice,
17:10the white kind and the kind they get.
17:17Someone was friends with this African-American attorney
17:21named Johnny Cochran.
17:23And so he suggested that Johnny would be the best person
17:26for Michael's case,
17:29not only because he's black,
17:31but also because he was brilliant.
17:34Mr. Cochran, let me start with you.
17:36Why do you think it was important for Michael Jackson
17:37to speak out now?
17:39Well, I think, Katie,
17:40that after months of being barraged
17:42with negative attacks,
17:45it was time.
17:45Everyone who was on Michael's team
17:48knew that having a black face
17:51as the front man for the defense
17:53would bring the black community
17:57to Michael's defense as well.
18:01The king of pop, rock and soul,
18:04Mr. Michael Jackson.
18:08Michael's first public appearance
18:10after his statement about the allegations
18:12was at the NAACP Image Awards,
18:16and that's the National Association
18:18for the Advancement of Colored People.
18:24I was in the audience.
18:26When Michael walked out on that stage,
18:29the house went crazy.
18:34Everyone was in support of Michael.
18:36No one wanted to believe these allegations.
18:41For decades, the NAACP had stood
18:44at the forefront of the struggle
18:46for equal justice under the law
18:48for all people in our land.
18:50And his speech was based on
18:53being a proud black man
18:55and how, you know,
18:56we have to stick together
18:57against racial inequality
19:00and injustice.
19:03Everyone is presumed to be innocent
19:05and totally innocent
19:06until they are charged with a crime
19:08and have been convicted
19:09by a jury of their peers.
19:22It was such a powerful speech.
19:31With all of the stuff that was happening
19:33to the black community.
19:38It felt like Michael's innocence
19:40was important
19:41and it was what we needed.
19:51Everybody wanted him to be back on top.
20:05The family of a teenage boy
20:07is dropping its charge
20:08that Michael Jackson molested the boy.
20:11Larry Carroll tells us
20:12the civil suit is now over.
20:19We wish to jointly announce
20:22a mutual resolution
20:23of this lawsuit.
20:25This boy wanted to get on
20:27with his life.
20:29When that case was settled
20:32and I believe that the payout
20:35for that settlement was
20:37$20 million
20:39or maybe a little more
20:40over $20 million,
20:40the family accepted
20:43the settlement.
20:44The resolution of this case
20:46is in no way
20:48an admission of guilt
20:50by Michael Jackson.
20:51Being a megastar
20:52like he was,
20:54he had
20:55the advantage
20:57with money,
20:58with attorneys,
21:00with really coming out
21:01and doing pretty much
21:02whatever he wanted
21:02in order to defend himself.
21:06So that was pretty much
21:07the end of our case.
21:10I felt bad
21:12because
21:13Rosie and I,
21:14we were certain
21:14that we had a good case.
21:17But, uh,
21:18when the victim
21:19doesn't want to testify,
21:22there is a
21:22say that says
21:24no victim,
21:24no crime.
21:27So,
21:28nothing that we could do.
21:36Read all about it!
21:38Hollywood sex scandals!
21:40Heidi's little black book,
21:42The Hollywood Hooker
21:44and Heidi Gate.
21:46Lonnie Anderson says
21:48Bert's a dud in bed.
21:50Uh-oh.
21:52In this billion dollar business,
21:54there's only one story
21:55that's guaranteed.
21:56a big name in trouble.
21:58That's the best news of all.
22:00But, of course,
22:01the one
22:02that's grabbing
22:03the headlines right now
22:04are the allegations
22:05about
22:06Michael Jackson,
22:08the biggest superstar
22:09in the world.
22:10Michael Jackson
22:11is our window
22:12into the new news business.
22:13And the magazine shows,
22:15talk shows,
22:16news chats
22:17that feed off
22:17tabloid truth.
22:19Michael Jackson,
22:21violator or victim?
22:23What do you think
22:24about Michael?
22:25Well,
22:26I think it's true.
22:28He settled for all that money?
22:29I don't know.
22:29He settled for all
22:30that amount of money.
22:31I think something's up
22:32when he settles
22:32for over $10 million
22:33to shut someone up.
22:35I don't know.
22:36It's a shame
22:37because I think
22:37Michael's been dragged
22:37to the model odds.
22:38You know,
22:39he's a,
22:39I don't know if he's a victim
22:40or if he did it or not,
22:42but, like,
22:43he's lost that
22:44wholesome image forever,
22:45you know?
22:49The allegations
22:50really changed
22:51how the public,
22:52I think,
22:53thought of him.
22:55and Michael
22:56had to kind of
22:57rehabilitate
22:58that image.
23:04People
23:04had been obsessed
23:06with Michael's
23:06sexuality
23:07his whole life.
23:10And his managers
23:11thought it would be cool
23:13if the press
23:14found out
23:15that Michael
23:16had a girlfriend.
23:27Michael and Lisa
23:29started dating
23:30soon after
23:31the allegations
23:32had been settled.
23:42He knew that
23:43marrying Elvis Presley's
23:44daughter
23:45would be
23:46headlines everywhere.
23:48Everyone would be
23:48talking about that
23:49and they'd no longer
23:51talk about
23:51this horrible
23:52time in his life.
23:54With this ring,
23:55I do it.
23:56This ring,
23:56right?
23:57You've heard the talk
23:58for weeks.
23:59It's surprising
23:59and it's apparently
24:00true.
24:01The daughter
24:02of Elvis Presley
24:02confirms today
24:03she is now
24:04married to
24:05Michael Jackson.
24:06Let's go to
24:06Vince Dimitri
24:07in New York.
24:08Vince.
24:09John,
24:09hopefully you can
24:10see behind me
24:11the throngs
24:11of stargazers
24:13right behind me.
24:13We are just
24:14outside of the
24:15world famous
24:16Trump Tower
24:16where Donald Trump
24:18tells us,
24:18yes indeed,
24:19that Lisa Marie
24:20Presley and her
24:21new beau,
24:21Michael Jackson,
24:22are holed up here
24:23on the top floor.
24:23Well,
24:24I'm very happy
24:25for them.
24:26I think it's great.
24:28They're very happy
24:30and I think
24:31everybody's happy.
24:32They're great people.
24:36I first met
24:38Michael in 1988.
24:41Michael was on tour
24:43in Germany at that time
24:44and so they called me
24:46and said that Michael
24:46is a big fan of mine
24:48and he would love
24:48to meet me
24:50and we hit it off
24:53and he got to know
24:54the whole family.
24:57I also knew
24:58Lisa Marie Presley
25:00because I spent
25:01lots of time
25:02in Los Angeles
25:04so I knew them
25:05separately
25:06and then later
25:07Lisa came to me
25:08one day and said
25:09look,
25:10Michael is hitting
25:11on me
25:12and he actually
25:13wants to marry me.
25:14What do you think?
25:14Should I do that?
25:15So I said
25:16go for it.
25:18For him it was also
25:19he liked Lisa
25:20because she was
25:21the daughter of
25:22the king
25:23and he was also
25:24king,
25:25king of pop.
25:34This is a big deal.
25:36We had never seen him
25:37get romantic
25:38with a woman
25:39like this
25:40ever.
25:41I'm very happy
25:43to be here
25:44and just think
25:46nobody thought
25:47this would last.
25:57It did work
25:58in the way
25:59that Michael
25:59wanted it to work
26:00in that
26:01everyone was
26:02talking about it
26:04but at the same time
26:06the public
26:07wasn't really
26:08buying it.
26:08It's all cover up
26:10from the little
26:11child thing
26:12that's what I think
26:12it is
26:12and that's about it.
26:14You don't think
26:14it's true love?
26:15No.
26:16I think it's a sham.
26:18Heterosexual marriage
26:19would certainly
26:20take some of the heat
26:20off being accused
26:22of being a
26:23homosexual pedophile.
26:28But Michael and Lisa
26:29were only together
26:30for around
26:3018 months.
26:35It's Splitsville
26:36for Graceland
26:37and Neverland.
26:38Many of you
26:39may find this
26:39hard to believe
26:40but Lisa Marie Presley
26:41and Michael Jackson
26:42are getting a divorce.
26:44So Tony,
26:45it looks like
26:45the gloved one
26:46is no longer
26:47the loved one.
26:49Oh,
26:49such a sad story.
26:51Sorry to hear that.
26:52Sorry to see that.
26:53What a shock.
26:53what a surprise.
26:57It was kind of
26:58hard to watch.
27:00He was trying
27:01to maintain
27:02his position
27:03as like
27:03the biggest
27:05superstar
27:05in the world
27:06and it wasn't
27:07quite working.
27:10This is a man
27:11who changed
27:12the music industry.
27:15He is a musical genius
27:18and people
27:19don't think of him
27:20in that sense anymore.
27:21They think of him
27:22as a freak.
27:24Is there any way
27:25that he can lift
27:25himself out of this
27:26trough that he has
27:27largely dug for himself?
27:29or he can do?
27:58He can He can do it
27:58but he isn't
27:58but I think of him
27:58Quand il était travaillé sur le album de Historie, Michael m'a appelé et m'a dit,
28:03« Je veux utiliser quelques de vos peintures pour l'article. »
28:09C'était le peinture qu'il a vraiment aimé.
28:13Et puis, spontanément, il a écrit ce poème directement sur la photo.
28:19« Avec tant de confusions, ne vous fait pas vous faire grer ?
28:39Si vous écoutez les lyrics et les songs et l'ensemble des tracts sur Historie,
28:45ils sont très agressifs, très defensifs.
28:56Même le vidéo de Scream est très dark pour Michael.
29:03Pour l'histoire de l'album promo, Michael choisit une image d'écriture.
29:09Il a des militaires marchés derrière lui et une aura de Dieu.
29:16C'est ce qu'il voulait pousser là, toujours sur le top,
29:19qui est toujours le plus grand pop superstar dans la histoire de musique.
29:25La bridge a été élevée cette matinée
29:27pour permettre un statue d'un 30-foot de rock star Michael Jackson
29:30de passer à travers la Thames sur un barge.
29:35Je pense que c'est brillant.
29:37C'est juste la première chose qui se trouve sur la Thames.
29:39Il est un mega star, ils sont appelés le king de pop.
29:41Donc, si on a fait ça, pourquoi pas ?
29:45Pour l'histoire de la Thames, Michael décide de focus sur son fanbase abroad.
29:51Et sa popularité continuellée en Europe, en Europe, en Europe, en Asia
29:57versus en Europe, où il s'est passé un peu parce que les allegations
30:01et toutes les médias circonstances autour de ça.
30:13C'est comme un rêve comme ça.
30:16Je t'ai touché, je ne vais pas perdre ma main.
30:24Je me souviens d'un moment.
30:26Je me souviens d'un moment avec Michael à Budapest.
30:29Et le hotel était déroulé,
30:33sous-touré par milliers de jeunes gens.
30:40Et ce qu'il fait,
30:42il a déroulé un petit peu et il a un sqlâb.
30:46Il y a un sqlâb.
30:46Et il y a un sqlâb.
30:48C'était comme une explosion là-bas.
30:54Il était roulé.
30:55Il était roulé.
30:56Il lui disait, oh my God, look.
30:57Tu as l'hé?
30:57Tu as l'hé?
31:00Tu as l'hé?
31:04Il y a une profondeur d'un sqlâb.
31:06Il y a un des desir pour voir des gens qui sont plus de vieux.
31:09Les модels et les personnes qui peuvent être des déroulés.
31:13Je pense que c'est ce que l'homme a besoin.
31:15Mais je pense que le danger est que quand tout le monde te worshipe,
31:22c'est que tu commence à croire en une façon dont tu te worshipes.
31:25Et je pense que c'est très dangereux.
31:31Mais il était enjoué. Il aimait avoir ce impact sur les gens.
31:42Je suis un leader.
31:43Je suis un leader.
31:45Je l'aime, je l'aime.
31:46Je l'aime, je l'aime.
31:49Je l'aime, je l'aime.
32:03On va vraiment entrer dans les fans de mort.
32:06C'est incroyable.
32:08C'est comme une expérience religieuse.
32:12C'est comme leur God.
32:16Certains personnes disent que je ne worshipe pas.
32:19Mais je ne pense pas qu'il y a quelque chose de mauvais.
32:26C'est tellement beau.
32:30C'est tout de même ma vie.
32:52Sous-titrage Société Radio-Canada
33:22When I met Michael, I saw that he was addicted to fame.
33:32I was a well-known rabbi, and Michael and I had become friends.
33:38Michael really needed to be loved, and he chose to be loved really in an unhealthy way,
33:45which was through superstardom and the devotion of fans.
33:58I said to him, you've made the mistake of substituting love for this cheap forgery called attention.
34:07And attention is never a good substitute for love, it's never real.
34:12This attention became an addiction, because he interpreted as love, and it became a monster.
34:27I felt that one of my principal objectives was to tether him back to humility.
34:37And so our conversations became kind of therapy.
34:46He wanted every word recorded for posterity.
34:50We recorded it on these two flimsy dicta machines, you know, on these tiny little tapes.
35:00Honestly, when somebody walks up to you and says, I love you so much,
35:04it makes my heart feel so good.
35:07Like, you can never get tired of it.
35:16But is it also that the fans show you love based on your performance rather than you?
35:27Well, I feel that love from a distance.
35:33It's not intimate, I guess.
35:41He needed something to live for.
35:44And as he explained it to me, he always wanted to be around kids.
35:49He loved the innocence of a child.
35:51He loved the creativity of a child.
35:54Because for him, the adult world was people wanting money from him
35:57and people wanting to know him for all the wrong reasons.
36:21Because kids, as long as you give them unconditional love, they really give it back.
36:25They are mirror reflections of the love that we give them.
36:28And he was going to give them the greatest love.
36:29And they didn't.
36:31And that's what happened.
36:48Who is that?
36:51Laya.
37:05I think having children gave him a renewed sense of purpose.
37:10A renewed sense of energy and direction.
37:34I want to be successful in being a great father.
37:40I want them to say we felt completely loved.
37:44And he was, like, incredible.
37:48That's my biggest dream.
37:49One day for Princeton Parish is to say to somebody, he was the best dad.
38:09I've been working with Michael for four years by the time he had his children.
38:18When Prince and Parish came along, I saw a different person.
38:29Can we do one where we are just pointing the camera at us?
38:33His life was now about the children.
38:37That was his priority.
38:41And he was getting more and more absolutely clear about his future.
38:47He was saying, Dita, I did everything I could do in my life for the music.
38:54And I think I did it well and everybody made a lot of money.
38:58But new people coming.
39:01Other music is coming.
39:03And he had the feeling he will never be successful like he was.
39:08And he was fine with it.
39:10Michael said he didn't want to be a trained monkey forever.
39:15It's over.
39:16Give it to Armin.
39:17Come on, let's do it.
39:21But when you start not to do what this, he called it, system, wants,
39:29then you're in trouble.
39:31Let's make it sweet.
39:32We are out.
40:01Sony was pushing him to continue his career.
40:05They were trying to get him to finish this album, Invincible.
40:10It wasn't my business, but, you know, screw the album.
40:13We have to make your life healthy again.
40:17So there was a war for the soul of Michael Jackson.
40:25Sony Music was one of the biggest labels in the world, hands down.
40:31And with Michael, well, that's a lot of money changing hands.
40:37So, yes, it's cutthroat.
40:41But Sony Music was no more cutthroat than any other label.
40:48Michael's relationship was a contentious one with his record label.
40:56I was there to help facilitate a record he was putting out called Invincible,
41:01which was his official last studio record with Sony.
41:04and things were going over budget.
41:08We had rented out the entire floor at the Plaza Hotel in New York.
41:13And for anybody who doesn't know that, that is extremely expensive, crazy.
41:18And he wasn't even showing up for things.
41:23A record company is there to make money.
41:25They are an investment firm, in a way, who has invested in you to produce something.
41:32When we got the phone call that this was, you know,
41:35how dare you, this was the most expensive record we've ever made.
41:38You know, and I'm like, oh, okay.
41:40I'm like, how much?
41:4130 million?
41:42I'm like, oosh.
41:43So it was kind of, it was a problem.
41:47But everybody was really trying to get him in tow
41:52so we could make a deadline for album release.
41:58There's one time where I was asked to pick up a package
42:01at a house that apparently was being sold and is empty.
42:05And in the mailbox was this package.
42:08And I opened it up and it happened to be full of Demerol,
42:12which is a prescription pain medication.
42:16But a lot of it.
42:17It was, it was an unknown thing that you don't ask.
42:21I said, what's going, and I was like, oh, okay, nevermind.
42:29But then he would go to the studio as long as he had his magical pills.
42:35But it was all so confusing at the same time.
42:38It wasn't, I'm not there to look at someone and unwrap the package.
42:41I'm there to get records done, right?
42:46There were so many people who were reliant on him
42:49to be the golden goose that lays eggs again.
42:55But he knew that path was corrosive.
43:01It frightened me.
43:02There was too much conflict going on with him.
43:04And I sensed and I saw that I was losing my influence.
43:08And I told him, I'm not going to watch you drive your life off a cliff and clap.
43:28Invincible has sold two million copies in six months.
43:32And that ain't Invincible.
43:34The flop of Invincible, along with a general downturn in sales,
43:38means that Sony's share price has suffered of late.
43:44Michael told me, you know what, I can't do this anymore.
43:52Michael was done with the music and with touring and all of this.
44:09But Sony was not happy at all with this.
44:13So he knew he has to fight to come out of this situation.
44:23From my vantage point, he got a tremendous amount of support from Sony Music.
44:33But you have to understand, they're artists.
44:35They're all narcissists.
44:37They can't help themselves.
44:39Okay?
44:39If their record's not selling, it's someone's fault.
44:43You know?
44:44If their tour's not doing well, it's someone's fault.
44:48Someone is always to blame.
44:56Michael Jackson is the architect of his own destiny.
45:00Like every single human being, whether you're special or not,
45:04you are the creator of the reality you live in.
45:10I remember we were required to go to New York City.
45:14And then he's whisked off to Al Sharpton's church.
45:19I personally think he was jacked up on something.
45:25Throughout the years, black artists have been taken advantage of completely.
45:32And it's Sony Tommy Mottola.
45:36Tommy Mottola is the president of the record division.
45:39He is a mean, he's a racist, and he's very, very, very devilish.
45:50You know, this just, it just exploded right there.
45:54Sony's statement reads,
45:55we were deeply offended by the outrageous comments Mr. Jackson made.
45:59Mr. Jackson has committed a serious abuse of power that comes with celebrity.
46:29He told me, Dider, you need to help me.
46:32It's over.
46:34He asked me to terminate all his contracts with his lawyers, with his team, with everybody.
46:43And he did want that I take over everything.
46:51Ladies and gentlemen, my name is Michael Jackson.
46:55And rather than writing you a letter,
46:57I've found this format to be most efficient for what I wish to communicate.
47:03Peter Weisner from Germany and myself have entered into an agreement,
47:07an exclusive long-term partnership.
47:09He gave me the power of attorney.
47:11I will personally sign agreements or legally authorize my partners to sign on my behalf.
47:19But, and he told me, Dider, the old team, they will be after you.
47:25They called once and told me,
47:28you take our golden cow and you have to stop this.
47:36And, but I was on Michael's side, of course, and I did what he warned.
47:42I remember these words from Michael to me,
47:46I put my life and my future in your hand.
48:10When it comes to distributing cookies, we get to see children's real personality.
48:37By that time, I wasn't involved in his life.
48:46I received a phone call from a producer that worked with Martin Bashir.
48:57Martin Bashir wants to interview Michael Jackson.
49:03I got off the phone and I went to Michael and said,
49:05first of all, your life, it's not ready to be open to the public.
49:09Stay a billion miles away from this guy.
49:15But Michael was an insecure person who is going to look for the validation of the public.
49:22He wanted to talk about his whole life,
49:26his career, that people really understand him.
49:33So Martin Bashir followed Michael for eight months.
49:42How do you write a song?
49:45How do you write a song?
49:46When I wrote Billie Jean,
49:48I was riding in my car down Ventura Boulevard.
49:52All I said to myself beforehand,
49:54I want to write a song with a great bass hook, you know.
50:01Where did that come from?
50:04From above.
50:05The dance as well?
50:06Yeah, same thing.
50:07How do you do it?
50:09Can you show me how you do it?
50:10Oh, boy.
50:11Come on, just get out and show me.
50:13Oh, come on, just show me, just show me, just show me.
50:16Show me what you do.
50:17Teach me.
50:18Okay, uh, oh, boy, you're putting me on the spot now.
50:23Come on.
50:24See, now people are discovering something about me.
50:26I'm really shy, I'm embarrassed.
50:27Okay, you're shy.
50:28Just get up and show me.
50:30Um, okay.
50:35Michael opened the door for everything.
50:47Michael had just had another child.
50:54We was in the room together
50:58and Michael heard the screaming from the fans.
51:02What a beautiful feeling.
51:09And Michael was so excited.
51:10I was behind him.
51:12He took blanket,
51:14but they had him really fast under his arm.
51:36In the next morning,
51:38I came out of my room
51:40and I saw all over the newspaper.
51:43It was not a nice, not a nice picture.
51:47But, of course, Martin Bashir.
51:49He was there.
51:51I love you.
51:52Here he is.
51:53But I'm not...
51:54Here's the bottle.
51:56Wait, wait, ah!
51:57Here's the bottle.
51:58It's okay, just get this off.
52:00Ow!
52:00Oh, please don't try.
52:01Break it.
52:01Break it.
52:02Break it.
52:02Okay, okay, here we go.
52:04Abu!
52:04Abu!
52:05Abu!
52:06Abu!
52:06Abu!
52:07Yes, Abu!
52:09Break it, break it!
52:10Break it, break it!
52:12Break it!
52:12I love you, break it!
52:14Yes, yes, yes.
52:16Have you been hearing about
52:17what people have been saying?
52:19That's totally ignorant.
52:20I would never do that
52:21to my children or any child.
52:23Try to kill them?
52:24Come on.
52:25Stupid.
52:25And why would I put a scarf
52:26over the baby's face
52:27if I was trying to
52:28throw them off the balcony?
52:30We were waving
52:30to thousands of fans down below
52:32and they were chanting
52:33they wanted to see my child.
52:34So I was kind enough
52:35to let them see.
52:37I was doing something
52:38out of innocence.
52:40Thank you.
52:44Thank you.
52:44Thank you.
52:45When living with Michael Jackson
52:47airs this evening
52:48these streets
52:49are going to be deserted.
52:51Fans and critics alike
52:52are saying
52:53they're going to be staying in
52:54to watch the programme.
52:55With his reputation
52:56in America
52:57very much at stake
52:58for Michael Jackson
53:00it must be
53:00a nervous wait.
53:03I didn't want
53:04that we watched
53:05the documentary
53:05until I
53:06know what happened.
53:09But Michael
53:10of course
53:11he want to see it.
53:12we watched it
53:14on TV
53:15together.
53:20Eight months ago
53:22I put a proposal
53:23to Michael Jackson.
53:25Show me the real man
53:26but show me everything
53:28make nothing
53:29off limits.
53:30He thought about it
53:31and then he said
53:32yes
53:33come to Neverland.
53:36We began
53:37a journey together
53:38across continents
53:39through his past
53:41and rapidly
53:42into the disturbing
53:43reality
53:44of his life
53:45today.
53:47In the documentary
53:49was this
53:50young boy
53:51Kevin Avizo
53:54and
53:54he was taking
53:56care of him.
53:57When people
53:59hear that
53:59children
54:00from other
54:01families
54:02have come
54:03and they've
54:03stayed in your
54:03house
54:04they've stayed
54:05in your bedroom
54:06well very few

54:13appropriate
54:14for a man
54:15a grown man
54:16to be doing that
54:16how do you
54:17respond to that?
54:18I feel sorry
54:19for them
54:19because that's
54:20judging someone
54:21who wants to
54:22really help people
54:23why can't you
54:23share your bed
54:25the most loving
54:27thing to do
54:27is to share
54:28your bed
54:28with someone.
54:30when I saw
54:31this

55:58sleep
55:58with strangers
55:59kids
56:00as much as I love
56:01Michael Jackson
56:02I'm having a hard time
56:03defending him right now
56:04I believe the child
56:05welfare services
56:06should interview
56:07every child
56:07that has been
56:08at Neverland
56:09with Mr. Jackson
56:10in his bedroom
56:11or anywhere else
56:12in the home
56:12without the presence
56:13of their parents
56:14find out what's going on
56:15he couldn't talk
56:17and he was sitting
56:19on his bed
56:19crying
56:20what's ahead
56:22for Michael Jackson
56:23what do you think
56:23is ahead after this
56:24a real bumpy road
56:26I don't think

56:27from this one
56:28that documentary
56:30led

56:33to Michael Jackson's death

56:35no question about it
56:36that was the beginning
56:37of the end
56:51Michael Jackson
56:52wasn't the ordinary pedophile
56:55he had the means
56:56to be able to do things
56:57that no one else
56:58I had ever prosecuted
56:59could do
57:01in a state
57:03that was 2,800 acres
57:04and a huge house
57:05with multiple locks
57:07a staff that just
57:08ignored what was going on
57:10that was unique
57:10to Michael Jackson
