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 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?
02:15The 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.
02:33It was clear.
02:35He 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.
02:49So probably nobody does that.
02:52He really was scared.
02:56One hit, please.
02:57One hit, please.
02:57Michael.
02:57It was Michael's biggest fear.
02:59After 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?
04:06His records don't sell anymore.
04:07And, you know, he's in a very tenuous spot right now.
04:10On song, but no longer making the notes.
04:13The latest claim that the Peter Pan of pop is nearly penniless.
04:18He'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.
04:36Borrowed, borrowed, borrowed.
04:37Borrowed against the Michael Jackson catalog that has Billie Jean and Beat It and all his hit songs.
04:41Borrowed against the Beatles catalog.
04:46Michael Jackson celebrated his 45th birthday in true Jackson style.
04:51It 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.
05:30What the media tries to say about you, Michael, if you don't believe it, you're worried of it.
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!
05:56Michael!
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.
06:40And 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.
06:56But you need to understand that we're going to need your cooperation.
07:00Gavin, can you tell us what your conversations were, what you guys talked about?
07:04He said that he wanted to show me how I masturbated.
07:08Okay.
07:09I said no.
07:11He started masturbating me.
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.
07:36What 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 judge 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 and 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. The people are just mean and wicked.
09:30The bail amount on the warrant has been sent at three million dollars.
09:33He'll tarnish your reputation and people will always remember you the way they said he was, not the way he
09:40really is.
09:41How do you view the guy now?
09:43Probably not in a good way. Definitely 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. This has been kind of a pattern among black luminaries.
10:53Other people in the past who've gone through this sort of thing, Mandela's story has given me a lot of
10:58strength what he's gone through.
11:01I'm very strong. I have rhinoceros skin, but at the same time, I'm human, you know, so anything can hurt
11:07like 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, it just, none of this makes any sense, you know.
11:29I love him so much. I mean, he, he, he needs us, you know, and no matter what, I believe
11:34in him and I'm here for him.
11:43Michael was ready to fight. He was focused completely on this whole problem.
11:51Then 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. I could do nothing anymore.
12:14They took over completely.
12:17It was the end of my work with Michael Jackson.
12:31Hey, I need to speak to Angela. Every, now every crew is here and my crew is not here. I'm
12:36still having 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.
12:48Hi, if we can get a quick statement from you.
12:50No, thank you.
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?
13:02I was a journalist reporting for celebrity justice.
13:09And that later kind of morphed into TMZ.
13:16So if you guys want to just, you know, shoot the room, do what you want.
13:20It's going to last about five minutes.
13:24It was all very confusing.
13:27Oh, were we invited?
13:29How 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. And you all are here.
13:41You had Charles Koppelman, an industry legend.
13:46You had Al Malnick.
13:48He's the one who bailed Michael Jackson out to the tune of $3 million when he was 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.
14:02And 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.
14:16Yeah, clearly, Michael is in charge.
14:20Will he be taking part in today's meeting, Mr. Koppelman?
14:23Um, he 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 I 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, there's nothing normal about this meeting because Michael Jackson was about to be subjected to the most high
14:46-profile trial.
14:47The fact that his finances were such a convoluted mess with debt, with loans, with mortgages, with skyrocketing interest payments.
14:58Obviously, this was the crisis summit.
15:01The brand was on life support.
15:02And if it died right there, it wasn't gonna have a future.
15:11CNN 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.
15:22We'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?
15:30Well, I know him very well. He's lived in my building. He lived in Trump Tower, and I know him
15:35very well.
15:36And I don't believe it. I'm gonna 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?
15:48Because parents have power over children. This is not him. No. I know his heart.
16:02It was past midnight, and the telephone rang in here.
16:06Hello?
16:08I said, Michael, is that you?
16:10Brian, is that you?
16:11Oh, 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?
16:23I 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.
16:44I 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.
17:01And then I did Jermaine's divorce.
17:03And then I did Jackie's divorce.
17:05And then I did Tito's divorce.
17:08Latoya's divorce.
17:10And 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.
17:20But you can never leave.
17:29Michael, come over here. Shake your hands.
17:32Michael!
17:35When I got to Santa Maria for the trial,
17:37the press was camped out like it was the end of the world.
17:42It was bigger than R.J. Simpson, which I had been at.
17:45This was in a small town that was hard to get to.
17:48But the whole place was taken over by this.
17:51It was an extraordinary thing.
17:53Thank you, my brother!
17:55Thank you for my brother!
17:56Thank you for my brother!
17:57He is here!
17:58Michael!
17:59He is here!

18:04Michael!
18:05Five!
18:07Five!
18:08Five!
18:08Five!
18:09Five!
18:12When Michael went to his arraignment,
18:14it was a deluge of fans.
18:16They were going crazy.
18:19And in his own showmanship way,
18:22he let them know,
18:24I am not afraid.
18:26Three!
18:27Three!
18:28Three!
18:28Four!
18:29Four!
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.
18:57So, I mean, they got every single piece of paper,
19:01every single document that had ever generated by any member of the family,
19:07medical records, psych records, school records, business records.
19:12They got it by way of a subpoena without notifying the prosecution.
19:19Stop the racism!
19:20My job is set!
19:22My job is set!
19:24Fire right! Fire right! Fire right! Fire right!
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.
19:42She says,
19:43I'll find them for you.
19:46So she called the grandmother
19:47and asked if she had their new address.
19:50And she said, sure!
19:51And she gave it 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

25:50jackson's neverland ranch what's going on

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

29:34jackson 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
29:55he hoped anyway
30:01in june 2006 rumor started circulating in the irish press that michael jackson incited in
30:07different places
30:10but we did i didn't think much of it
30:12so we were quite surprised when the door opened and
30:16the patient said hello um my name is michael jackson
30:20it wasn't too long before michael entrusted us with his aesthetic treatments
30:27we treated in that period his bottom of his ankles were beginning to turn black again
30:32and he wanted us to increase the bleaching cream to a stronger percentage
30:37he didn't really have any money
30:39i mean his credit cards bounced on many occasions
30:43i remember one time he was in our big glass showroom
30:47and he started pocketing quite a lot of the cosmetics
30:52some of the things were worth between 100 and 500 euro
30:56and he had a big sort of jacket coat on
31:00and when i ran into him he had as many maybe as 20 or 30 of these products in his
31:05pockets
31:07and he just laughed
31:11i think as time progressed you could see that michael became happier and happier living in ireland
31:16he said that he'd love to settle here away from the press
31:21our friendship became closer and when i was down in his house he opened up to me
31:26i think he felt trapped between finding a new location to live
31:34and having to go back to the united states to overcome his financial 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 um a dignitary
32:16that was coming to town
32:19mr jackson i call him mr jackson
32:21um he was returning to the states
32:24on the basis of being a headliner in las vegas
32:40there was a lot going on
32:42he was raising three kids
32:48that he wanted to do on his own
32:53mr jackson moved into the house which was on monte crystal
32:57we realized that he did have insomnia
33:02even though we had armed security at the property
33:05we would see him walking throughout the house at night checking doors
33:13a very lonely world
33:21there's always someone trying to see him
33:25business associates
33:26all different type producers trying to get at him
33:39it put him into seclusion a little bit
34:01but what happened to me
34:03it's a rarity
34:05to come through this fire and out the other end the way i have
34:08anybody else would probably be dead by now or junkie or something with what i've been through
34:21there he is david beckham the huge international star is coming to america
34:31my partner and i paul
34:32work for a division of aeg
34:35the core business is live entertainment sports you know those kind of things
34:42aeg had just done a deal with david beckham
34:46to 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
35:00hey you guys should do a david beckham deal with me
35:04remember that michael's last tour was the history tour in 1997
35:11so this would have been a good 12 years after that
35:15so the anticipation of being able to see michael jackson live
35:23was i don't know i can't think anything really that would be bigger than that
35:36i remember the day he signed the deal
35:39when this is this is it was in formation he came out and said bill
35:44now you're gonna see the vultures
35:48i started to get all the phone calls
35:51from people that
35:53we've never heard from before
35:56people were coming out the woodwork
35:58they wanted to be part of this tour
36:01they wanted to be part of him
36:03i always said it
36:05mr jackson was a big atm
36:15feel 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
36:23put in his mouth with my michael jackson video and that's it i was gone
36:25he's like he taught me how to dance everything man
36:28he's gonna be sick
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
36:43and i'm gonna go to every single day that he releases that i can get my hands on
36:48you're obviously a very rich woman then
36:50no i'm not it's the credit card it's my credit card
36:52the this is it tour was going to be much bigger than uh anything he had he had done
36:58do you really think he can come back after everything that's happened
37:00it's nothing happened it's just the media in it so
37:03it's fine
37:04port case rumors of financial problems
37:06rubbish rubbish
37:07this is market jackson you know he's he's the king of pop
37:14ready for this
37:20london welcomes the king of pop mr michael jackson
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 and 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 really short speech and when
38:04michael walked in he came over to me and he gave me a big hug and i said here's the
38:09speech and he went
38:10and he whispered in my ear make the words really big i can't see
38:14i 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
38:46this is it
38:52i just want to say that
38:54this will be it this is it and when i say this is it it really means this is it
39:00because
39:02these will be
39:05my final show performances
39:10this is it
39:11and see you in july
39:21so what happened was
39:22we ended up at 50 shows
39:28i've never seen demand like that
39:33we had about 15 000 sellable seats per show
39:36they all went for 50 shows
39:41you got a calculator i'll do the math
39:52we're kind of excited and michael's coming today
39:54there's the man
39:55there's michael
39:55the man is here
39:58during rehearsals michael knew exactly what he wanted
40:01but 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
40:08this is not easy though
40:10michael one more time i couldn't hear you sir
40:12the inner ears are very difficult for me when you're raised
40:16to use just your real own you know oral oratory ears
40:20yeah
40:21is it
40:21it feels like it feels like somebody's fishes
40:23their fist is shoved into your ear
40:25mr jackson was not happy
40:27privately
40:28he felt that
40:31physically
40:31he was not
40:33prepared
40:35to do
40:36that many shows in that shorter time
40:39he
40:39said to me
40:41directly
40:41he said bill i can't do 50 shows bill it would kill me
40:45he was going to make a lot of money from this show
40:49enough to where
40:51he was done
40:59just trying to conserve my throat please so understand
41:10i'm very hard on myself
41:14i would dance until i would almost pass out sometime
41:18i'll have to do this for the rest of my 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
41:39i 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
42:03not dead 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
42:19that isn't true he knew what he was doing and he knows what kind of drugs he's taking
42:26but michael was surrounded by people that wanted to please him
42:31people he chose to surround himself with
42:39but he is going downward
42:42and so you you you have to ask yourself
42:46where am i going
42:47you know where what's what's the next train stop
42:57it's an american tragedy
42:59the 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
43:09that might have ever lived in the history of the world
43:13was still so utterly lonely
43:42it's going to end up being all these two of us is here
43:47yeah someone's coming out
43:48an ambulance
43:54look at that look at that
43:56this is so looking to be in the newsman
44:00that's real hollywood excitement on your two of us
44:05you just saw michael jackson uh ostensibly being taken away in an ambulance with the paparazzi
44:11racing after
44:13dude that's they're going to be on the internet later
44:16and i'm 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
44:48and she was leaning up against the wall
44:54and then i saw her slump to the ground
44:58and sat on the floor
45:02i said
45:03right then and there i said michael jackson is dead
45:07michael jackson is dead
45:29this is hard
45:32my brother
45:33the legendary king of pop michael jackson
45:37passed away on thursday
45:39june 25th 2009 at 2 26 pm
45:44it is believed he suffered cardiac arrest in his home
45:51this is a fox news alert the chopper is in the air
45:55they have picked up the body of michael jackson
45:58his body is now going to be in the custody of the la coroner
46:02the autopsy has been expedited
46:04it will happen tomorrow at some point
46:06between 7 a.m. and 3 o'clock in the afternoon
46:09after that the body will then be released to the family
46:22there was a fire inside me that i could not contain that day
46:29in my mind i was saying to myself you stupid stupid man
46:34i begged you
46:36i warned you
46:38you've now orphaned your children
46:40there's nothing that you loved more in the world than your children
46:43you were the only one who could protect them
46:45and now you orphaned your children
46:47and now you orphaned your children
46:48you stupid man
47:04michael'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 damerol
47:15you just numb it all away
47:20he felt desperate to change but couldn't
47:24and he actually ends up finding people that help him to his death
47:31is that the most crazy thing in the world
47:41if somebody would have just told the truth
47:43he would probably be alive
47:45but nobody did
47:47michael jackson t-shirts
47:48michael jackson t-shirts king and pop

48:01we've been here for about 10 minutes
48:02and then you give 10% to the charity of michael jackson's story
48:12i feel like michael's of the magnitude to deserve
48:14a state funeral
48:17i just i wanted to wake up and somebody tell me this isn't real
48:21people are saying that this is going to be like when princess die died
48:261500 inmates in the philippines
48:28pulled together a brand new tribute to the king of pop
48:32michael jackson fans have always been committed
48:35and when he died it didn't diminish at all
48:39in fact it became stronger
49:01tonight a family's pain
49:03for the very first time since jackson's shocking unexpected death
49:07jackson's family is speaking out
49:09do you know anything mr jackson about funeral arrangements have you had time
49:12yeah we haven't gotten to that yet
49:13yeah but we're working on that
49:15you said your wife is how what about janet and the rest of the family the daughters and
49:18they're all doing fine but i want to make this statement

49:23marshall and i have they we own the record company called
49:27tell me ranch records
49:29right okay it's true by blu-ray technology
49:32and that's his next step and that's your next step
49:38for most of his life michael's father was constantly coming to him for money
49:43also with schemes
49:45so you could save joseph jackson
49:48it was very opportunistic
49:53even when michael died nothing changed
49:57hello everybody
49:59what i'm doing is i established a record company
50:02and this is marshall by the way
50:04marshall go ahead
50:08okay what's happening is in the entertainment side we're going all the way back to the beginning
50:12we are going back to michael jackson's legacy
50:16and we're going to bring them our way back to the top we love you
50:19you haven't seen the whale yet
50:21we love you mr jackson
50:24we're the best
50:29Michael's will was brought to his family
50:33a couple days after his death
50:38it was absolutely startling
50:43joe jackson and his children were not included in the will
50:49and i filed objections
50:51how do you feel about michael not including you in the will
50:53i didn't think that they were given the consideration that they should have been
50:57how do you feel about michael not including you in the will
51:01thank you joe
51:03joining us from la is jackson family attorney brian oxman
51:07good morning mr oxman
51:08good morning how are you
51:10i'm fine thank you for joining us is it safe to assume that michael jackson
51:13did not want his father whom he very publicly accused of abuse
51:17to control neither his estate nor his children
51:20joe jackson is a good man michael loved his father and i want that to be known
51:26throughout all of time
51:35michael jackson's brothers and sisters work left nothing it's a slap in the face
51:40i mean
51:43they were there from the beginning
51:47jackson five right
51:51now
51:52john branka and another business type were named co-executors of michael jackson's estate
51:59there was a tug of war between the jackson family and the executors about the will
52:07last week randy germain janet tito and reby signed a stunning letter to the executors of michael's will
52:13they're crying conspiracy over his death calling the will fake flawed and fraudulent
52:18jane help me out here what the heck is going on one word money 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
52:52we had spent a lot of money
52:55close to i think 40 million dollars
52:57already on the this is it project
53:00so the day that michael passed we went around and collected
53:05everyone's hard drives
53:07any
53:07any footage of michael
53:10yo dude
53:11taking a quick little tour here
53:13and 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
53:29all i want to do is that they don't really care about us
53:34all i want to do is that they don't really care about us
53:38this is us going to premiere
53:40hey
53:41that's when john brankett who ran michael's estate jumped in and made the deal with sony
53:46he managed to maximize this revenue in ways that
53:51i you know i i couldn't believe
53:53we think that the movie this is it gave fans a pretty good glimpse at the real michael
53:59he was a perfectionist
54:01and at the same time he was a humanitarian
54:03brankett steered that beautifully
54:05i mean this is it was the highest grossing
54:07concert documentary of all time
54:09that deal got us all of our money back
54:12and then some
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
54:35put neverland up for sale
54:39then they did their show in las vegas
54:41the serp de soleil show
54:44the estate became a money-making machine
54:46he's raking in more than any musician in history
54:49years after his death
55:08your view of american icon michael jackson will never be the same once you hear about the new documentary leaving
55:15neverland
55:19once the abuse started
55:22within that first week
55:24you know every night
55:25that i was with him
55:27there was abuse
55:31you know he started talking about how much he loves me
55:35what this is
55:36is us
55:37how we show our love
55:38for each other
55:41the new documentary detailing abuse accusations against michael jackson has sparked a new debate about his legacy
55:47i found the testimony from the two alleged victims of jackson to be incredibly compelling and visceral in a way
55:54that
55:54the criminal trials and previous accusations had not been so personally as a listener
55:58my relationship to this music has changed completely
56:01jackson's estate filed suit against hbo they actually called this documentary a public lynching
56:06it may be too soon to know if there will be a lasting impact on the popularity of jackson's music
56:13after the film leaving neverland
56:15the estate was really shaken
56:18those accusations
56:20could have been the end of everything
56:28but the estate kept their eyes on the prize
56:32and michael's legacy survived
56:51the michael jackson story is about one of the great performers of all time
56:56he was a genius
57:01and yet he was very troubled and problematical
57:05and now in death
57:07the executors of michael jackson's estate
57:10are working ferociously
57:12to erase the problematical side of michael jackson
57:15and focus entirely on his younger years
57:20his creative years
57:22and focus on the music
57:29this is the most extraordinary effort
57:32to uncancel someone
57:37the show must go on
58:04it's always incredible incredible journey
58:09i've seen children just shower all over me with love
58:14they want to just touch me and hug me
58:16i just hold on and cry and not let go
58:19i really believe
58:23that children are a god
58:26when i look in the eyes of a child
58:28it's like god saying michael
58:31everything will be okay
58:33everything will be okay
59:12the day
59:13and today that we know
59:16and you're definitely just Davide
59:16you know
59:16the baby
59:16it's little do bye
