I'm Katherine Scruse.
You want to dance?
No, thanks.
Why don't you want to dance with me?

It's not for nothing
It's just I don't like them.

We will dance slowly.
What happened to your leg?
He gave me polio when
she was a girl.
Don't tell me you had to
wear one of those prosthetics?
It was only a few years.
But I feel fine now.
Let's go.
Do you know California?
You know I think I was a fool
by coming here.
I was there with my father.
I decided to come see my mother
And in the end I ended up working
in the foundry.
Are your parents divorced?
Yes.
My parents are also divorced.
Divorce is hard for everyone,
that is sure.
I I would never do that to my children.
When I get married, it will be
forever.
You move very well, Katie.
You don't have to be ashamed
to dance
Do you like music?
Noticeable.
It's true, I love music.
But above all,
country music.
So me too
likes country music.
Really?
The country is called
music with spirit?
Our divorced parents
we like country music
And you love California, don't you?
Many have been married for 50 years
And they don't have much in common.
My God.
he really likes you
Lula said that
-That?
who told him that he had you
been following.
Really?
That she saw you pass every day
cycling
He is the most handsome I have ever seen.
I think he's not my type.
Don't tell me, and what is your type?
The man I married
he will be a very special man
and yes, he must be a saxophonist.
A saxophonist?
Yes, a sax player is very sexy.
Because they know how to use their hands?
Hello, Katy.
-Have you heard?
-About what?
That Lula's brother has got married.
It doesn't matter, you don't
liked that boy.
Marge, come in the house, girl.
Have all 12 shirts, mom says we
owes 6 dollars. of this plus the 15 from last month.
Tell your mom next time I'll pay her.
and may she recover soon.
Mr Graham told me
Get well soon mom.
I would have liked to tell you, that you
you would feel better if she paid you,
She has not paid
Oh my god, that man
brings head
Hey Katherine, so you have to
apply the poultice.
Soft, then you cover it with
hot towels
Smooth, on the inflamed area.
So.
Do you feel better?
I have no choice.
I have to clean tomorrow
the Dryer house.
Tomorrow you are not going to clean anything, Marta,
you will stay here resting.
What's that?
Something you haven't done
in a while.
Do you like nursing Katie?
Don't know?
You would be a very good nurse.
an excellent nurse, think about it.
Katherine only dreams of being
a great movie artist.
Or with what she but she was she?
Country music singer, mom.
I only say those things as a joke, mom.
I think nursing is more practical.
It seems incredible, we are already
In Christmas.
In the history test, I just looked
the clock, I thought of popcorn necklaces
and wrapping gifts.
-What are they going to give you?
I would like a velvet dress, or one
like Katherine Grace in that movie
Joseph Jackson, what are you doing here?
I thought you were married.
Yes, but I'm divorced.
You've been away a long time.
How are you, Katie?
Come on, tell me something, girl.
I feel fine
the shortest marriage
of history
She's already divorced and she's coming to get you.
I told you, he's not my type.
Merry Christmas.
- Mrs. Scruse?
-Yes.
I am Joseph Jackson.
He could talk to Katherine?
Wait a moment.
-Katie.
-Yes mom?
Someone has come to see you.
-To my mom?
-Yes.
This is for you, Katie.
Merry Christmas.
Thanks.
Aren't you going to open it?
What is?
It's a necklace.
The earrings match.
Are they diamonds or something?
Imitation
Not me diamonds
I care.
Okay..
I don't want to take up too much of your time
on this Christmas morning.
I thought that this weekend,
we could go
to the movies or something.
I'll I'll think about it.
Yes.
Do it.
Ladies.
Katie, sometimes I don't understand you?
"I'll think about it"
Because you don't get comfortable.
I am.
I feel comfortable.
Would you be more comfortable if
you were here.
closer to me, together.
I didn't know you were a boxer.
There are many things about me
do not know.
Do you think I'm going to spend
all life in the foundry?
That's not for me, that's for sure.
I think to gather to buy my ticket
and return to California in a few months.
And maybe take you with me?
Would you like it?
Do you want to live on a ranch, with
palm trees around you.
Good evening, Katie.
Goodnight.
I don't speak to speak
to go to California, Katie.
It is a distinct possibility.
Katherine.
you shouldn't have allowed
that boy kiss you.
Those things always lead to
worse things.
I haven't kissed him, mom.
I've been watching you through the window.
I've seen you kiss, daughter.
Look at me Katherine.
I am convinced that
he is a lovely young man.
But you have to be very careful.
A young lady like you.
You would have a lot of problems.
Mother.
I'm not going to have anyproblems.
I'm going to be a nurse, don't you remember.
I have plans.
Come, I want you to know my house.

You carry that.
Joseph, Joseph?
You've lost your mind.
A battery.!
They have to prepare
they need a team.
Get prepared? to what end,
what for.?
I can't believe it, how could you
spend all our money on this.
Do you know what a good buy on time is?
Look..
I plan to spend what I have
if required.
Honey, I can't understand you.
Jackie needs shoes, they don't have soles anymore.
she goes with her feet in the air.
I'm trying to sell me some
in the Salvation Army.
Roof leaks, doesn't work
the hot water.
I I try to squeeze the money to the maximum,
while you splurge on this.
The boys are talented.
I worry about his future.
You speak of talent for studies,
Is that what you're preparing them for?
Joseph..
This neighborhood is full of talented kids,
You hear me, everyone is singing in some group.
We're living cramped in this house
if you have spent the money,
because you don't spend it in another room.
Katy..
First we buy the instruments,
first that, and then we will have what we want.
I have faith in these guys
I believe in its potential.
also that boy next door..
Johnny Jackson will play the drums and
Ronnie and Ranci will be the keyboards.
They will be professionals.
Joseph, listen to me,
this is a stone..
..tied around the neck.
I have already reached the limit.
My sweet honey
..you know I love you.
I can't help it.
I love you and no one else.
No, no, no, stop, stop.
Marlon, pay attention again.
Joe Tex don't do it that way, that way
it's like Joe Tex does, he takes the mic..
he pushes it aside and then
he returns with him to the same place.
Michael, teach him.
That's concentration, they want to win the
talent show, then prove it to me.
there is no shame here. it is understood?
Let's go again, again.
My sweet honey
..you know I love you.
I can't help it.
I love you and no one else.
You in my life
You in my life, you come and go.
Nerd.
Marlon, Marlon, you've lost
step again.
I do what I can.
It's out of tune, always
it annoys everything
That way we won't get there
nowhere with this.
any boy in the neighborhood
he would do better than you.
They don't concentrate, they don't listen to me.
Marlon, come out.
Come on, get a branch.
She was trying, she really was.
You have done very badly, but I know
I'm done, come on be a man, come on.
He was doing fine.
I decide who does it well,
each step must be perfect,
You get it, every step, every note, everything.
This is the only way to make them better.
Come on, let's all follow the step.
So so.
I'm not going to spend all day, come on.
my mother died
and my father got drunk
That's a step to the side.
here I am left without any attention.
Okay, one more time, let's go.
Marlon, keep up the pace.
Come on, do it right.
Now coordinated.
Marlon, are you occupying
Tito's space, mind you.
Smooth, guys, smooth.
Yes, especially when
an army is fed.
There you go, 5 bucks.
Bye.
Have a nice day.
Until next week.
what they are working with
children eat twice as much.
Yes, work doesn't hurt anyone
Marlon will be a dancer, though
he dies in it.
He won't need it, he's incapable, he's out of tune
and he misses the step.
I'm going to remove him from the group.
That?
Joseph Walter Jackson.
There are many things that
you do, in which I do not agree
But I usually keep quiet, he didn't say anything
of what you do
but I am going to talk about this.
I have seen it.
He always tries to get over Michael,
always try to beat him in some game,
If you do this to him, you'll sink him forever.
I won't let you do it.
I won't let that happen
you are too severe with him,
Too harsh on everyone.
I want to warn you one thing, you go
to make them hate what they do.
What do you want, Katie?
They work for a foundry
the rest of their lives?
Or do you want to see them in any corner
selling drugs?
and involved in bands, that is
what you want.
You know perfectly well that no, but
I don't want to see you hit them again.
that's the only way
that I know

I am convinced of his talent, but
They're a kid group, and I can't stand any of them.
And Stevie Wonder? that?
Wasn't he a child?
Yes, and we had to deal with his mother,
his teacher, his lawyer, the courts
and all before you can
burn the disc.
Then he stopped halfway
because the boy had to go to school.
It was worth it, right?
Yes, well, in the end.
These guys sang for me yesterday, at the
Bobby Taylor's apartment. They are very special.
Susanne, I am a
busy man.
Please Mr Gordy,
I just want you to see them for a few minutes.

So many winters still waking me up
at night, in the dark,
to warm up the van and be able to go to work.
The time I've spent in the foundry.
Everything so that our children
They could aspire to something better.
Maybe the time has come
that we are a normal family.
Boys grow up very fast.

it will be too late.

It's where they create the songs,
and turn them into disks.
Everyone came today
to see them perform today.
Diana Ross is there too?
Michael, stop asking so many questions.
he drives anyone crazy.
This place is huge.
It's impressive, right?
Yes.
Let's go for a ride and then
We'll go down to the pool.

Come on, sit down.
I want to go to the sea to bathe.
They say that there, always
nice weather.
Mom, I would like to know with what
people are there in hollywood
I'm so worried that I can't
sleep and they have been there for two months now.
Michael has turned very fast,
now Jackie will have to catch up.
Oh mama gonna give me
a heart attack.
Baby, I need another chance.
I know you love me.
Thanks. thanks to all,
this is our first album with Motown,
It is for sale everywhere.
It's wonderful to have tonight
here as a guest
especially if it is to present to
Michael Jackson and the Jackson Five.
Dislike.
Diana Ross introduces them as
Michael Jackson and the Jackson Five,
on national television.
She came out spontaneously.
In this group there are no stars,
this is how it was formed, and
that's how it's going to go.
I do not like this.
Let Diana Ross do like
if she had discovered them.
Oh no, Joseph just introduced them.
He did us a favor, a great favor.
Mr. Gordy asked him if he could introduce them,
and she was very kind in agreeing.
Hey, give me a break I'm
looking for clothes for the boys.
My children already have enough clothes, always
I have seen to it that they have good suits.
This one will suit you, Michael.
Let's do a test
Mike, how old are you?
Nine, even though he's 11 years old.
Well people prefer boys
of 9 than those of 11, it is a matter of image.
Yes, and it makes you more spectacular.
There are so many things that
they will have to remember.
one of them will be like
make an interview.
If you ask us about politics,
we will answer that we are artists.
Correct.
They always have to be courteous,
kind, charming.
They are very well educated.
We have taught them.
Except table manners.
Yes.
Mama always tells Michael
that he is not so rude.
Yeah, when she says, hey brother
pass me a piece of bread.
Hey man what can they wait
of a 9 year old.
That he behaves as if he were 3.
Happy birthday Tito, yes
-Happy Birthday brother.
Have a good time Tito, though
don't have a birthday party.
I'll come pick you up at 4 o'clock.
On point, be here.
we'll be there.
If you let me have my car,
you wouldn't have to pick me up.
What have you said?
Nothing Joseph, we'll be here at 4:00.
-Happy Birthday brother.
-Thank you.
Hi Jackie, we've seen you on TV.
Oh yeah.
-You were wonderful.
-Thank you.
I can't believe they're at my school.
How about we meet in math class?
We are both new to this school.
So you're having a birthday party?
No, we do not celebrate birthdays,
My parents are Jehovah's Witnesses.
I don't know anything about Jehovah's Witnesses?
Well, you like Los Angeles.
Yeah I love the weather
the sun, the ocean.
Oh no, there's the big one,
with the van.
I have to go.

and a dryer next door in the kitchen.
and I will soon be
with the Jackson Five.
You do not.
I do.
Right mom?
You should not jump on the beds,
Get down from there, you know very well.
If someone new comes in
in your life

for you,
Because otherwise,
..I'll be there.
Didn't you know, baby?
Oh I'll be there
Oh I'll be there
Just say my name
..and I'll be there.
Michael, try to say:
"You just have to look around, honey"
That's not in the letter
It's okay if I say it here?
Oh no, it's okay, Michael, it's okay.
Michael, I'm the boss.
Oh I'll be there
Didn't you know, baby?
Oh I'll be there

You just have to look around, honey.
Yes.
Wait, wait, Mr. Gordy
he said "shoulders"
No, no, no, no, she's been fine.
That's what he wanted.
I love mistakes.
And another thing Jackie,
never stop a recording.
You sing, I lead
In agreement?
Do you want me to do it again?
No, he has been perfect, just

Clever.
Very well.
Jackie.
Come on, throw it away.
we also want to play.
hi baby
Jackie, come on.
It's time to rehearse, walk, walk.
Sure.
I don't feel well.
You know, the Osmonds don't always
they feel good, but they continue without stopping.
That's why they're always on the radio, always.
day and night.
Let's go.
Hey come on.
-At all hours.
-Always rehearsing.
Energy guys, energy, tenacity.
This is very good for live performances.
I think so?
Very well. "I'll be there"
1, 2 ,3.
Yes.
Mark it.
Let's go.
What's up Michael?
I don't have room to make the turn.
Stop, stop the play back.
It's ok, why don't you come more
forward and do the turn here, okay.
How is everything?
Mr Gordy, we only have
a little problem,
We don't have room for Michael's twists
butit's not very important.
But Joseph says pass him the mic
Jackie, so I don't trip over the cord.
That's exactly what
we don't want you to do.
Never separate from your microphone,
this is your hammer, this is
what makes you a leader.
do you understand?
Good.
He raises your hand and takes the
of another person.
make this world
be a better place
..if you can.
Raise your hand and take the
of another person.
make this world
be a better place
if you can.
If you see an old friend,
in the street, sunken..
..remember that you could
be in his place.
He has always looked wonderful,
but in person it is even more so.
..very naturally.
we can turn things around
if we start giving.
Why not..
..raise your hand and take
someone else's.
Raise your hand.
Raise your hand and take
someone else's.
Raise your hand and take
someone else's.
make this world
be a better place
..if you can.
Raise your hand.
Raise your hand and take
someone else's.
Oh yeah.
Do it if you can.
Oh yeah.
Ladies and gentlemen,
the lyrics of this song say:
"Raise your hand and take
someone else's"
"if you can do that
this world is a better place
And I know they can.
That's why I want everyone to raise their
hands towards the person next to you.
And intertwined, raise them to the sky
and move them from side to side.
Would you do that for me?
They are already doing it.
Yes.
Raise your hand and take
someone else's
And now let's raise our hands
for some very special guests,
that we have between us here tonight.
Ladies and gentlemen, I have the pleasure
to introduce them to the Jackson Five.
You want to go up and sing
with me Michael?
Come on up Michael, don't be shy?
Come on cheer up.
If you see an old friend
in the street, sunken
..remember that you could
Be in someone's place.
try to give something
of kindness and you'll see.
It is something that comes very naturally.
we can turn things around
if we start giving.
Why not
I shouldn't have given him the mic
to Michael, Dianna will never see him again.
I know you can.
She raises your hand and takes
someone else's.
I know you can.
Raise your hand.
Raise your hand
and take someone else's.
-If you can
- we go.
Raise your hand.
-Raise your hand.
-If you can.
Raise your hand
and take someone else's.
It rocks all day on the tree
..while he tweets her song.
All the birds in the street
..wait for Robin to do,
"twit, twit, twit".
Dance rock, Robin.
Joseph, what is this?
What is this button for?
Don't touch, are you crazy?
I just wanted to know what they are for.
Your job is not to touch anything.
Behave well.
I'll be back later.
Wait for me.
Hello Joe, hello guys?
How's everybody?
Hello Mr Gordy.
Mr. Gordy, so that
does this button work?
It's the equalizer.
And what does it do?
Modifies the original sound.
Adds bass or treble.
-Sign here
Are all the appliances yours?
The last time I came, yes.
And how much does all this cost?
Michael, you don't care about that.
Look, as long as they're in this business,
they can make me all kinds
of questions about him, that's fine.
Of course, if you know how expensive
It is this material, they will take better care of it, correct.
-Correct.
-Very well.
Dance, rock, Robin.
Let's Dance all night.
this will be the party
of the birdies.
Everything you have
what to do is dance.
Let's all go, eager.
The swallows and even the sparrow.
I haven't seen you since
that you started the private university.
And now you're going on tour.
I know you're going to forget about me.
I'm crazy about you, DeeDee.
I'll miss you a lot.
I also you.
Titus!
Joseph, do you remember DeeDee?
She had already introduced her to you.
Hello.
It's not the time to
socialize.
We have a lot of work, remember?
I don't want girls hanging around
during trials.
And Hazel? she always comes
to see Jeremy.
That is different.
What am I going to say about the
daughter of Berry Gordy.
But I still have authority
about my children.
Joe.
Hello.
It's 3:00 in the morning.
A very long day.
I don't understand.
I don't understand how boys can
do this every night,
and get up to go to school.
No, don't start with your complaints.
I have enough already.
You have a beautiful house
everything you wanted.
Yes.
I have everything I could wish for
except you.
now not even
We talk about nothing.
You are always tired
busy or gone.
I make dinner and then
no one eats it.
I spend all day at home
Sure, how can I not drive?
You don't need to drive.
Because?
Do you think I'm going to upset Susanne?
every time I want to go to the butcher?
ok then
she learns to drive.
Going around the city is so complicated, it's
..I do not..
All the neighbors are
..white people.
here I feel displaced, I
I feel like a stranger.
You'll have to get used to it.
This is going to be our life.
The good life.
And so it will continue to be.
Goodnight.
Sing this song with me.

My medal has been ripped off.
The truth is, no

The black Beatles called them.
This exceeds what
we had imagined.
Okay, guys, this is for

I would love to live in a hotel.
Room service,
and own television.
My own bed.
Soft and comfortable.
Tell me something
..I read in a magazine..
that you like Hezel Gordy.
That it was love at first sight.
That's right?
Yes it's correct.
So it was her you sang to
last night, Hazel Gordy?
That's wrong, all this time,
I thought you were singing to me.
If she didn't even know you last night.
But now yes.
Do you like my perfume, smell it?
It's made with roses, you know?
100 petals are needed,
to make a single drop.
Jermain.
Do you like it?
Yes.
your lips are so soft
like those petals.
Jermeine, you are so wonderful,
I need to touch you, I can't help it.
The waiter will arrive with
food from one moment to another.
Don't worry
by the waiter.
Jermeine, what hands.
I feel your caresses on my body.
I have my hands here.
I have felt your hands touching me.
No, I haven't moved them from here.
I only kissed you.
I have noticed them and believe me
that very well.
Who is down there?
Michael, Marlon
Come back here.
rose petals.
They'll see when I catch them,
You'll see.
No, Joseph, you listen to me.
I have the right to know where my children are
and what are they doing.
I never thought that
she was going to eat at the Jackson house.
Me neither.
No, I do not care
how busy they are.
Listen you..
Hello? Joseph?
Well, how is it?
Well, Mrs. Jackson.
What did you say?
Where are they?
Well, today they play in Nashville,
and tomorrow in memphis
And how do you know?
The fan club publishes
the whole itinerary, look?
I'm not hungry anymore.
Excuse me.
LaToya, why are you behaving?
like this, in front of the people.
Tell them to go away.
They are fans.
Your brothers have come so far
thanks to them,
I want them to have everything
the respect they deserve.
I want to go back to Indiana.
I would like to be there.

Yes, from the blues. Nobody knows
more than me of the blues.
No, we know about the blues.
I may be young.

At recess?

But she left with an eighth grader.
Until one day, I

But since

..and now my life is yours.
Let's go
