The Jacksons: An American Dream (1992) s01e02 Episode Script
Part II
He doesn't hate you.
He never speaks to me
he doesn't even look at me when I'm present.
You have to accept that Joseph is like this.
DeeDee look, I know everything
this is hard, okay.
It's hard for me too.
Give it a little more time
for him to get used to.
Please.
He is just angry.
They are too young.
Congratulations brother.
Hey thanks Jeremy
I don't understand you.
With a newly purchased house.
And you want to move?
titus
Listen.
You want a photographic equipment.
okay, you can have it.
We'll make room for you here.
So you have a dark room.
You can take photos.
And reveal them.
You can have all the material
what you want
I am taking charge of that.
Only if you don't marry that girl.
You will ruin your life.
You know, there are hundreds of girls
crazy for you now.
If you get married, they will look at you differently.
I don't mind,
I'm going to marry DeeDee.
As you marry, she will be the
end of the Jackson Five.
Nope.
It doesn't have to happen.
DeeDee won't be a problem.
She doesn't want to come with me
Not even with my brothers.
She doesn't want to go on tour.
She doesn't want anything
more than me.
So much work.
No way.
You.
You ruin everything.
Very good brother. You have been
putting up well with Joseph what he offered you.
What he has said is not true.
This will not break the group,
I'm sure.
Of course not.
It's the only way to get out of here.
A new house doesn't change anything,
everything else remains the same.
You are right brother.
I hate when they start talking about it.
Why get married?
Can't they do that to our fans?
-Congratulations.
-Thank you.
Well, where are you going to live?
I have found an apartment
small in Encino.
-A small apartment?
-Yes.
Come on Titus.
I don't like mansions
I just want to be with DeeDee.
But you are a star, everyone here
They have mansions and you are supposed to too.
This does not go with me.
I already told Tito that if he got married, no
there was no doubt that he was going to change in some way.
You'll see how it comes now
Late for rehearsals, you'll see.
This marriage will be bad for the group.
I will have to control them.
Michael, Marlon.
They have earned it.
Who has been?
Who has left the towel in the pool?
I'll give them a beating.
They heard me.
Joe, enough.
You're going to wake them up.
No more beatings you hear me, not one more.
Michael.
Marlon.
Enough already Joseph.
All these years,
have been enough.
you can't behave
Just like that.
This is mine and my children.
Your children are grown up.
They have traveled all over the world,
has millions of fans.
What is it you intend to do?
tell them to get out
to pluck a branch from a tree,
and that they enter so that you hit them?
Go to bed Joseph.
Go to bed.
Everything is in order, good.
I've talked to Bobby Jones,
he will bring us the ties to the airport.
With this fog we will arrive very late.
Yes sir.
Well, we're going straight to the stadium.
It's okay, Joseph.
Alright.
What do we have to sing?
The national anthem "stars and stripes"
There is no need to worry about
the music, because they will do it a cappella.
And what is the letter?
As you say?
is "stars and stripes" the national anthem?
And then what?
Don't they know?
We know parts but not
We have never sung it before.
Do you know the words to "stars and stripes"?
The boys have to
learn it in 20 minutes.
Is there someone who knows
the lyrics of "stars and stripes"?
Nope.
Did you already write it down?
Yes, I have already written it down, that's fine
I already have it, I already have it.
All right, let's go.
"With its wide bars and bright stars"
With its wide bars
and bright stars
in the midst of the dangerous battle.
Let's repeat it again
they have to retain it in memory.
the red glow of the rockets
and the bombs exploding in the air
verified during the night
that our flag still
It was there.
The stars and stripes flag
.still waving
in the land of the free
.and home of the brave.
I'm not getting on that plane Susanne.
Michael, we won't make it in time.
Let's go.
-Hey Mick.
-Come on Mick.
You see it.?
Your brothers and all of us
We depend on you Michael.
You can't let us drift
and all your fans in Little Rock.
Come on, be a man.
Be a man, Michael.
Do you think the plane is going to crash?
The plane is not going to crash.
I know you're tired.
I am too and everyone.
We are working a lot, you know?
Airplanes, hotel rooms,
all those fans with all that noise.
and always away from home.
But I know that when you get on
to stage..
that's your thing Michael.
Sometimes I like it.
And sometimes not.
What do you think if we buy
a huge chocolate cake?
you can go eating it on the plane.
Nope.
Michael.
You never refuse a candy.
Don't make me go on that plane.
I'm scared, I don't want to go
but by plane, never.
Never.
Come on Michael.
-Nerd.
-Michael be still.
What do you do..?
You've gone mad?
-Nerd.
-come here.
We already missed one plane, Michael.
But we're not going to miss this flight, let's go.
You do not have to worry,
the plane is not going to crash.
Be still, Michael.
Michael, stop it.
We have to get on the plane.
I don't want to go up.
I don't want to get on the plane.
-Michael behave yourself, behave yourself.
Jackson Five, Jackson Five.
Are you OK.
This is not the time to cry, you have to
go out there and be strong, I want you to be strong..
you have to be a man,
You know who you are, you're Michael Jackson.
Let's go out.
you know what i will do
what you want
I know you think that
I'm not right.
I can't help but go back.
all i want is
be with you.
Don't worry,
I'm already here.
again with you,
but I'm always late.
And now I understand what happens.
In the name of love
I must stay.
I want to be where you are.
I want to be where you are.
I want to be where you are.
Hello.
Jermein.
Hazel.
How glad I am to see you again.
I have done nothing but think of you.
Jermaine
It's alright Joseph.
Hazel will take me home.
She was looking forward to getting out of the plane.
Oh Hazel, landing and
see you here waiting,
I am so happy.
I almost jumped out of a window.
I want you to know now that
I love you Hazel Gordy.
I love you too,
Jermaine Jackson.
Berry Gordy will not be satisfied until
for one of my children to call him "daddy".
Come on, my father doesn't bite.
Hazel and I, we both
we want a lot.
Yes?
I love her.
I am very glad to hear it.
we love each other and we want
always be together.
Good.
We wanted
We want..
Get marry?
Yes.
That is a very serious decision.
You have work?
Daddy.
Oh yes, I forgot, you
you work for me
Daddy, be nice.
It's alright, it's alright.
Listen Hazel,
Why don't you leave us Jermein
and talk to me alone for a moment.
It's fine, but daddy,
behave well.
-Alright.
-Please?
Very well.
Come on, go.
You know, the life of an artist and the
marriage, can cause problems.
there are the fans, women who love you
chase and then when you and..
Hezel have children, she will stay
at home to take care of them.
I will not allow it to be like this.
You say that now but it's hard to hold on
when outside there are so many temptations.
All those girls
that are following you
And we meet Hazel.
She would never consent to that.
I love Hazel, she is the
only person I love.
I've loved her since
first day I saw her.
I know you don't lie.
You have shown me during
years and I know that you are a good young man,
I want you to know that I will be
here when you need me
..all time.
Welcome to the family.
Joseph.
Jermain, he's on the phone.
He says that she wants to talk to you.
He and Hazel
I don't want to hear it.
What did she tell you?
She didn't want to answer the phone.
He didn't even want to answer
the phone.
He is very friendly.
Thanks.
At one, at two, yes very well.
Perfect, thanks.
Very well thanks.
Would you mind looking at the camera,
please.
-Indoors.
-You can believe it..
It must have cost a fortune, all
those flowers and those birds.
Pigeons, Joseph.
175 pigeons, Jermein told me.
Yes, a winter wonderland.
Artificial snow, decorated trees
Well, if Berry wants to spend all that
money on his daughter's wedding, it's only up to him.
Good night mom.
Michael.
I'm tired, I'm going to bed.
Maybe Michael wanted
marry Hazel?
Or maybe he wanted to be the one
Berry Gordy's son?
Stop, you know I don't
I like those jokes.
you know that
Michael is very sensitive.
so leave him alone.
All this marriage
it makes him suffer.
The wedding is over.
I'm done thinking about it.
That's why I brought you all together tonight.
It is time for us to think about the future.
We perform in Las Vegas.
I have signed an agreement with MGM.
And what did Mr. Gordy say?
Who cares what Mr. Gordy says.
I am the one who commands.
I run this.
Las Vegas?
Okay,
Michael likes the idea.
Janet and Randy will be there too.
It may interest the
TV channels?
maybe they want to do
a weekly show?
The Osmonds have a program.
They are good guys, we don't have
nothing against the Osmonds.
Do you think Donny Osmond
he does better than Michael?
What are better than us?
We will prove it to everyone.
Let's get on with
our dream.
Berry Gordy doesn't control this family?
It is understood.
I command.
His appeal is pure dynamite.
Located at the top.
She knows what she does.
She now she is a bad girl.
She will drive you crazy.
Dancing dancing,
dancing.
She is a dancing machine.
Baby, do it, baby.
Dancing, dancing, dancing.
It's a dance machine.
Baby, move on, baby.
It's a dance machine
See how he does it.
It's a dance machine.
It's a dance machine.
See how he does it.
It's a dance machine.
You guys have done well.
They do that very well.
What's up, Mike?
I always sing the same songs.
I need new stuff.
Why don't we rehearse that one in
what are you working on?
But what will it do?
We will never be able to sing it on a record.
Marvin Gaye is composing
his own music. Stevie Wonder too.
They fight for their songs,
and it's worth it.
Hey Jermain, why don't you
you lend a hand to your brothers.
Talk to Berry, finally
And after all, he is your father-in-law.
Being my father-in-law is one thing.
And the group is another.
Anyway, we are
A good combination.
We have been successful for 7 years.
We don't have any more hits.
We will have them, brother.
I will not go running with my
father-in-law, whenever a problem arises.
If you want to talk to him, talk.
I want to talk to him
but he doesn't want to listen to me.
No, another one.
you put on the cream
What did the dermatologist prescribe?
Yes.
Okay..
You are very constipated, you can
let that be the cause.
Mom, this is serious.
I'm just trying to help you, it's acne
one day he will go alone. Michael.
When?
I'm always 10 years behind on everything.
So I won't leave this house until I'm 28.
Well, being 10 years late means
that you are now 18, the age of acne.
Mom, am I not kidding?
I hate my looks.
You know?
My nose is very wide.
The fans want my voice
with another physique.
Like when I was little.
you can only be
a person in life, Michael
I don't even know who I am.
There is only music.
The music is in me.
all i remember
of my childhood is music.
My disk is not successful.
My voice has changed.
Do you know what is said about me?
That's Michael Jackson.
Look at him he has a lot of pimples.
They think I'm ugly.
O Michael.
I respect my fans mother.
I owe them everything.
I am letting them down.
Michael.
You can't live your life, trying
satisfy other people's wishes.
One is as it is.
And you are wonderful.
You have always been wonderful.
from the same day
in which you were born
Michael, is there something in your
look that moves everyone.
Berry always says that a song
must tell a story.
I have millions of stories in my head.
Sometimes at night
I can't sleep thinking about them.
I would like to sing them.
I am full of music.
I just have to get her out.
It will come out, no one will be able to stop it.
Okay listen to me
CBS wants to make a deal.
They want us to sign a contract,
right now.
are prepared for
Let's make the deal of the century.
They just told me
by phone.
We need to talk.
We produce the program
from Las Vegas, right?
We liked that experience, right?
Yes, it was a success.
Motown has always supported us.
Yes, but you must write
your own songs
Produce your own records.
Michael, we have to change.
Come on, you yourself
You have said thousands of times.
I'm sick of singing "choirs".
In the recordings not even
They need us in the studio.
Yes, we know that they will end up bending us.
We do our choreography,
we can also make our own music.
Yes, get out of this bubble.
We know as much as any of
the Motown of the record business.
Motown taught us
the whole business.
It has shaped us.
You already knew how to sing before being in the
Motown, they're prepared, they're professionals.
You have to be very clear, Michael.
We need to control ourselves.
That brother.
Let's tell Motown
to renegotiate our contract?
But how much do you think
are worth today.
what type of contract
can you satisfy us?
We know how to sing, write and produce
and promote our own albums.
CBS is ready.
Ready.
Jermain.
What's the matter?
Joseph is upstairs waiting for you.
He wants to talk with you.
Do you know what this is?
No, I do not know.
It's the contract, your signature is missing.
Contract?
Yeah, we quit motown.
We're leaving with CBS,
all your brothers have signed Jermain.
The only thing missing is you to sign.
Signature.
Nope.
I'm going to hire a lawyer.
I want to ask you some details.
to your lawyer?
Yes.
To mine.
Just keep one thing in mind,
the blood that you have is my blood,
not Berry Gordy's.
Come with us to New York
We are going to give a press conference.
Let's talk about our
switch to CBS.
You don't have to make statements
or say what you are going to do.
I'm not going with you.
Look Jermaine.
You and I have always
united state.
I only ask that
sing with us
We have a performance two days before,
from the press conference
Come on brother,
he sings with us.
How am I going to look to my left?
And that you are not there?
Please brother.
Please.
Hezel, I don't know what's going on.
I can't take the pressure
I'm going crazy.
So many years at Motown
And now everything falls apart.
Berry is my idol.
He always has been and always will be.
But how am I going to
abandon my brothers?
Jeremy, listen.
You must do what you want to do.
What you want to do.
You have to understand
that I am married to you.
I will continue to be your wife.
But your father.
This has nothing to do with my father.
He knows how much you love him.
I married you
not with business.
oh baby
I don't want to leave.
Motown is going through a
bad time and now I can't leave.
I want to help you
work again.
I don't know if I can
If I can do it, Hazel..
leave my brothers?
I don't know if I can.
THE JACKSON FIVE.
SOLD OUT.
What time is it?
It's almost time to go out.
Okay, ready, the most important thing
is that they do not panic.
No panic.
-Randy is here, ready, right
-Yes.
Jermain was always to my left.
He guided me through it.
I will take his place on the left.
Jermaine will come
I know it will come.
-Are you ready?
-Of course.
Are you sure?
I'm ready Joseph
I have always been ready.
We all depend on you, Randy.
Since he was 2 years old,
want to be in the group.
I'm ready.
This is your opportunity.

Josh, don't worry.
Trust me.
Very well.
Mike, be strong.
Blood is thicker than water.
someday it will come back.
Alright.
All right, walk.
I have never known how to say goodbye.
No no no.
I have never known how to say goodbye.
Although the sorrow and heartbreak
They follow me everywhere
even though i tried
hide my feelings
..they always end up ratting me out.
Now try to tell me
you leave me
.. and I won't be able to leave
to say no.
Tell me why
..I feel like this.
I have never known how to say goodbye.
No no no.
I have never known how to say goodbye.
every time i think that
it's enough.
..and I go to the door..
I feel a strange sensation
that makes me meditate.
That tells me "fool, come back,
you know very well that you love her"
Tell me why
.I feel like this.
I do not want you to leave me.
I have never known how to say goodbye.
Chick.
I have never known how to say goodbye.
No no no.
I have never known
say goodbye, baby.
I have never known how to say goodbye.
No no no.
I have never known how to say goodbye.
No no no.
I have never known how to say goodbye.
I still think that our
problems will be solved soon.
But I have that unpleasant feeling
that anguish, that doubt.
Is the same
old complex
that will continue with or without you.
Tell me why
..I feel like this.
I do not want you to leave me.
I have never known
say goodbye, baby.
Chick.
I have never known how to say goodbye.
No no no.

Chick.

No no no.
I have never known
say goodbye, baby.
I have never known how to say goodbye.
Noticed.
this morning..
like the heart of the city
..starts to beat.
I extend my hand
..and touched her shoulder.
I dream of her streets.
If they ask why.
tell them what it is
human nature.
Because, why.
must be like this?
If they ask why.
Tell them you don't have
why be like this
If they ask why.
Stop, stop the music.
any problem Michael?
Let's do it again
From the beginning.
Alright.
From above.
Noticed
this morning..
like the heart
of the city begins to beat.
I extend my hand
Did you work last night too?
Yes, it's great, I loved it.
Testing all those instruments.
Michael, darling, you haven't forgotten
that the promo tour starts tomorrow.
-TRUE?
-Yes.
I'm not going.
"Joseph won't like it."
-Hello slime.
Not your brothers.
Hey, Baba.
I have started something
that I will not leave at this time.
I do not can.
It's coming to me
mind everything you wanted to express.
Slime. how are you?
Honey, we're all
excited about what you're doing.
but your brothers
they would like to participate.
I want to do this by myself.
They must understand, mom.
Samson, come on, hey?
Come on, how are you, are you hungry?
Yes..?
You have mistaken?
I think so.
They called twice yesterday.
They call twice and hang up.
The limo is coming.
I am not leaving.
That?
Because?
I don't feel very well.
I will go in two days.
Michael isn't going either.
What a surprise.
Well, tomorrow I'll take the plane.
I have bad the gartange.
Don't worry.
We take care of it.
They have a very tight schedule.
But they're only going to sign autographs.
personal appearances.
As easy as a-b-c
Simple as do-re-mi
Where is Randy?
he always has to
get to last.
Let's go.
Get in the car.
Chick.
He treats us like 3 year olds.
I'm sick of promotional tours.
When will we perform again?
Tell that to Michael.
Sure, yes to Michael
And where is Michael?
You have to make an appointment
see the little brother
Katherine.
Yes?
You want to go to the store and
bring me some ice cream?
Frozen?
There's still in the fridge.
It's just I want it mint.
Of mint?
just go to the store
and bring me some, alright.
Very well.
Mrs Jackson.
Is Katherine at home?
She has gone to the store,
I don't know if she'll come back.
I hope not.
I want to see you Joseph?
Did you get my money order?
Which one are you referring to?
I sent you a money order,
Have you received it.
Yes.
Very well.
I want to do it again
your house is so exciting.
I've heard it
I have heard it all.
I knew it was a sign
I knew it, I knew it.
Called twice and hung up.
She knew it was a sign.
so that you
you call back
I've heard it, I've heard it.
Been at my house.
In our bed.
No, Katie, listen, listen to me.
They planned it together
Why didn't you go with the boys?
No, you have confused the conversation.
Liar.
Joseph Jackson, you are a liar,
and a traitor.
And I don't love you anymore.
I don't love you, I don't love you
I don't love you, I don't love you
I do not want to see you anymore.
Trust me Katie,
I will never hurt you.
I could never, ever hurt you.
Oh God.
Mother!
Mother!
Joseph has called again.
I'm not here, mom.
Jermain called this morning.
Should I lie to him too?
I don't now I don't want to
talk to anyone, understand.
Two weeks Katie, the police
she will start looking for you soon,
the family is nervous, worried.
Rebbie knows where I am.
She'll tell them I'm fine.
What peace, what calm.
Too calm.
sometimes done so much
minus Chicago.
Nope.
Alabama is our home.
Nope.
Your home is where your heart is.
And your heart is in California, Katie.
you better accept it at once.
I don't want to go back there
not yet, I want to stay.
You have to be strong,
you have rested
It's time to face up.
you have always had
great courage.
I got it.
I inherited it from you.
From me, from your father,
courage runs in the blood.
Of potato?
You have to go to California,
that's where your home is.
You cannot deny what is natural.
You have returned.
How was the tour?
As usual.
I don't know what is Michael's?
When is he going to record another album with his brothers?
Where are everybody?
Randy has left with the motorcycle.
Janet dancing
on a TV show.
LaToya is in the study.
And what about Michael?
a week ago
I don't know where he is.
His attitude changed
with Marlon's wedding.
that's when it started
not to speak
He and Marlon were very close.
Since then he has been lonely.
Have you talked to Jermain?
There is nothing to talk about.
Joseph, I thought
I will not leave this house.
Katie, you see this letter.
The boys say they don't want
to represent them again.
Contract,
They will not renew it.
I put everything in the hands of those people,
to help me lead.
And what do they do?
They turn my children against me.
They say that I don't know how to do my job
They say I never should have
signed that contract with Motown
at first.
They are taking my children.
They are taking my children.
And I trusted those people.
These guys don't care about anything.
For this pass all those
damn years in the foundry.
I still have it inside, Katie.
I've still been inside all those years.
This
..What does it mean?
These people think they know more than me.
Who brought them here?
Our children are not us.
They were born from us
but they are not from us.
They decide their own path.
They have become adults.
That is why they have decided this.
Showing your independence.
We have brought them here,
but now they have to go it alone.
You have to take a step forward.
It is..
like teaching a bird to fly.
It is normal for them to fly away.
But they still love you Joe.
they still love you
And you, Kate?
I don't know Joe.
I don't know what I feel anymore.
He's downstairs in the study.
He has rented the studio to do the mixes,
It's the perfect time to catch him.
everyone is busy
except Marvin and Michael.
Have you talked to Michael?
Yes, he says he will be among the
public but will not perform in the show.
Well, if she doesn't want to do it
We'll have to do without him.
That?
Wait to?
Somehow he is honored
for building Motown, right?
Yes, but
how can i pray
to the people who do.
But he is not going to listen to me,
He won't listen to anyone but you.
So you have a problem,
it's your show.
Millions of people
They will feel cheated
yes Michael Jackson
It is not part of this celebration.
It is also their problem.
You couldn't you couldn't
talk to him.
I'm just asking you
A forced yes, instead
of a resounding no.
What do you want me to do?
Supplicate.
Michael
Who?
It's me.
Berry.
Sounds good Michael, I didn't think
that you could overcome The Wall, but yes.
You have an amazing record.
Thanks.
I'm glad you like it.
Things change over the years.
The business changes, the music changes.
The good old days
the Motown..
..it was as if we were in a
fantastic machine that took care of everything.
Like walking, talking, acting.
Yes, everything, but
there was something else.
let's make a program
TV special, Motown 25.
Yes, I have heard it.
I would like you to act in it,
You and Jermain, the brothers, united.
Don't know.
A lot of time has passed.
Yes it's correct.
But now is a great time.
I told Susanne, that
she preferred to be in the public.
That's not where I need you.
Also..
I am interested.
We have done a lot of television.
It is not a simple program,
It's Motown 25.
It's the celebration of
..a goal accomplished, which broke
all the obstacles, all the barriers.
It's about me.
And about you.
Years ago
You and your brothers don't see each other.
Wouldn't it be great to go out
stage again with them.
It would be something magical.
That you sing with Jermain, again.
That's magical.
Michael..
You may feel famous now
But if you do this, correctly.
I could throw you much higher.
Don't do it for me, do it for you.
it will be a great show
either way.
But with you.
It would be even better.
One time..
When I was a kid
I was with you and someone
I ask if it was your son.
I wanted you to say yes.
I have to tell you something Berry.
I have sometimes wished that
you were my father
If you want me to, I will.
With a condition.
Oh security, right?
I'll sing with my brothers, but
I want to sing a song by myself.
More than anything, she was a
movie film beauty.
I don't care but what
do you mean i'm the only one?
I want to dance on the floor.
She said she was the only one.
I want to dance on the floor.
She told me that her name was Billie Jean
and came to sing.
So I turn my head
and I began to dream that she was me.
I want to dance on the floor.
People always tell me:
"Be careful what you do
don't go there
breaking girls hearts"
Mom always tells me:
Be careful who you hang out with
..of what you do,
of the love you give".
Billie Jean is not my lover.
She's just a girl
she says it's me
but the boy is not my son.
She says I'm the only one
but the boy is not my son.
For 40 days and 40 nights
the law was on her side.
But who can understand
his schemes and the plans of him.
just because we were
dancing together in her room.
so have
heed my advice.
Remember that always
You have to count to 10.
You have to count to 10.
People always tell me:
"Be careful what you do.
Don't go around breaking
girls hearts.
but she came
and she stayed with me.
then she came
the scent of her perfume.
Everything happened very fast
and I was already in her room.
Billie Jean is not my lover.
She's just a girl
she says i'm the only one
..but the boy is not my son.
She says I'm the only one
..but the boy is not my son.
She says I'm the only one
but the boy is not my son.
He says I'm the only one.
You know very well
..that you have broken my heart.
He says I'm the only one.
Billie Jean is not my lover.
Billie Jean is not my lover.
Billie Jean is not my lover.
-You were wonderful.
-Thanks Mom.
Oh Marlon.
-You were wonderful too.
-Thanks Mom.
See the boys again.
Joined.
It's my old dream.
we can still shine
We can, we could do commercials together.
I explain myself, I explain myself,
It would be millions of dollars.
I already have one in mind.
What do you think of the idea?
My head.
Michael!
Calm down, don't move!
Call an ambulance!
My head!
Hurry, quickly.
Excuse me, step aside.
I'm going with you, Mike.
Everything will be fine.
I will go to your side inside
from the ambulance, don't worry.
Me too, do not worry,
I will not leave you alone.
You're going to be fine, brother.
Hey Joe.
Jackson, Mr. Jackson,
how do you feel right now?
How do I feel?
I am her mother.
well michael and you
they had their differences.
You have children?
Nope.
It is my son who is there.
My son.
It is a miracle that the
clothes will not catch fire.
you got second burns
and third degree in the head.
And my hair?
it will grow back.
the whole family is
out there waiting.
I'll go out and tell them
are you okay.
-Alright.
-Alright.
tell them i liked him
ambulance ride.
It was funny with the sirens going off.
As a child you said
that you liked a lot
Michael.
All this thing.
maybe i did it more
thinking about me.
that in you
I'm really sorry.
Michael.
believe it or not,
I also did it for you.
When I think of home
I think of a place
..where love overflows.
I would like to be home.
I would like to be there
..with the things I know.
with the wind that
he rocks and caresses the grass.
Now the flakes
falling snow
..have meaning.
Now it seems
everything clearer.
maybe maybe
there is a chance to return
..now that there is an address.
sure is nice
go back home
..where there is love and affection.
maybe i can
convince time
to slow it down.
give me the time
necessary to grow.
Time, be my friend.
Let me start over.
If your fans see you looking like that,
They all start putting bandages on their heads.
Michael
Yes mom?
I want to talk to you,
sit down for a moment
I know you did that
family announcement.
I thank you, because it was hard
which is when you are busy with your things.
My own music.
I only think about it.
I know.
I know what affects you and I understand it.
But Joseph had a dream,
he had a hunch.
The tour is Joseph's idea.
Our idea.
Yours and mine.
And now that Jermain has left Motown,
the family can act together again.
It won't be the same again.
You know, sometimes I see myself in my room,
and I would like to be small again.
you were always
rehearsing, or performing.
Always on stage.
They were so young
that occupied his life.
I wanted to play with the children.
And have a candy store.
Dress up like everyone
on Halloween, ride a bike..
..always saw others
children playing in the street.
We never had time for that.
They lost a lot of things, it's true.
I always thought that
you would abandon Joseph.
After all
what put you through
I think I still love him, Michael.
It may have happened a few times,
I may have taken
wrong decisions,
you may not have heard.
But it was him, thank you
to him all this is possible.
You, you've been so lucky
because you can reflect everything in your music.
All, all the sadness
all the joy.
All the things of the past
everything you feel now.
Michael, sit next to me.
I know you.
I understand why you feel so
only sometimes, I know it hurts you.
But my mother always infused me
courage, she told me it was something genetic.
That's why I tell you that.
You have courage too, Michael
Don't be afraid of anything.
Not Joseph.
Not even your fans
or what they expect of you.
Don't be afraid of the outside world.
But above all,
don't be afraid of us.
Because the Jacksons are more,
than a musical group.
The Jacksons are a family.
when we played
At school you liked her.
I was chasing you, but it was just
a game and you decided to quit.
Then, as we get older,
you promised to love me
But, like in school,
you play with me again
For the love
that you keep is yours.
you have to slow down
or one day you will be alone.
you better stop.
That can be your love.
Honey, stop to think.
you are entering
in a dangerous area.
I am the one who loves you.
I need you.
You know the other guys
they can't give you this.
You'll ruin your reputation
They will leave you behind.
If you saw how they talk about you,
as if you were just anyone.
Isaac said he kissed you
under an apple tree.
hold your hand
is to feel electricity.
When Alexander called you
you ignored him too.
Christopher discovered that
you were a very "mature" girl.
For! love
that you keep is yours.
you have to slow down
or one day you will be alone.
you better stop.
That can be your love.
Honey, stop to think.
you are entering
in a dangerous area.
For!
For!
"P" for stop.
"A" to slow down.
"R" for back.
"A" for love.
The love you keep is yours,
one day you will be alone
stop, baby
you better stop.
That can be your love.
Please.
Or someday, baby
..you will be alone.
For! the love that
guards is yours.
Stop, stop, girl.
Or one day you will be alone.
Thanks.
Thank you all.
I would like to say a few words.
As you know, we have started
this tour for many reasons.
But mainly.
For our mother.
And also for our father.
For the dream they had.
The American dream.
That started long ago
a long time.
When they arrived
our ancestors.
Slaves.
oppressed people.
humiliated.
And marginalized.
As you know we have traveled a
long way from that Jackson street.
in which my brothers and I
we had no color television.
luckily to our family
poverty did not sink her.
But I assure you that
Fame is not going to sink us either.
That's why we do this.
This tour
Is a celebration.
It is a victory.
My sons.
We give them
thank you
for the joy
.that they have given us.
We give them
thank you.
He never speaks to me
he doesn't even look at me when I'm present.
You have to accept that Joseph is like this.
DeeDee look, I know everything
this is hard, okay.
It's hard for me too.
Give it a little more time
for him to get used to.
Please.
He is just angry.
They are too young.
Congratulations brother.
Hey thanks Jeremy
I don't understand you.
With a newly purchased house.
And you want to move?
titus
Listen.
You want a photographic equipment.
okay, you can have it.
We'll make room for you here.
So you have a dark room.
You can take photos.
And reveal them.
You can have all the material
what you want
I am taking charge of that.
Only if you don't marry that girl.
You will ruin your life.
You know, there are hundreds of girls
crazy for you now.
If you get married, they will look at you differently.
I don't mind,
I'm going to marry DeeDee.
As you marry, she will be the
end of the Jackson Five.
Nope.
It doesn't have to happen.
DeeDee won't be a problem.
She doesn't want to come with me
Not even with my brothers.
She doesn't want to go on tour.
She doesn't want anything
more than me.
So much work.
No way.
You.
You ruin everything.
Very good brother. You have been
putting up well with Joseph what he offered you.
What he has said is not true.
This will not break the group,
I'm sure.
Of course not.
It's the only way to get out of here.
A new house doesn't change anything,
everything else remains the same.
You are right brother.
I hate when they start talking about it.
Why get married?
Can't they do that to our fans?
-Congratulations.
-Thank you.
Well, where are you going to live?
I have found an apartment
small in Encino.
-A small apartment?
-Yes.
Come on Titus.
I don't like mansions
I just want to be with DeeDee.
But you are a star, everyone here
They have mansions and you are supposed to too.
This does not go with me.
I already told Tito that if he got married, no
there was no doubt that he was going to change in some way.
You'll see how it comes now
Late for rehearsals, you'll see.
This marriage will be bad for the group.
I will have to control them.
Michael, Marlon.
They have earned it.
Who has been?
Who has left the towel in the pool?
I'll give them a beating.
They heard me.
Joe, enough.
You're going to wake them up.
No more beatings you hear me, not one more.
Michael.
Marlon.
Enough already Joseph.
All these years,
have been enough.
you can't behave
Just like that.
This is mine and my children.
Your children are grown up.
They have traveled all over the world,
has millions of fans.
What is it you intend to do?
tell them to get out
to pluck a branch from a tree,
and that they enter so that you hit them?
Go to bed Joseph.
Go to bed.
Everything is in order, good.
I've talked to Bobby Jones,
he will bring us the ties to the airport.
With this fog we will arrive very late.
Yes sir.
Well, we're going straight to the stadium.
It's okay, Joseph.
Alright.
What do we have to sing?
The national anthem "stars and stripes"
There is no need to worry about
the music, because they will do it a cappella.
And what is the letter?
As you say?
is "stars and stripes" the national anthem?
And then what?
Don't they know?
We know parts but not
We have never sung it before.
Do you know the words to "stars and stripes"?
The boys have to
learn it in 20 minutes.
Is there someone who knows
the lyrics of "stars and stripes"?
Nope.
Did you already write it down?
Yes, I have already written it down, that's fine
I already have it, I already have it.
All right, let's go.
"With its wide bars and bright stars"
With its wide bars
and bright stars
in the midst of the dangerous battle.
Let's repeat it again
they have to retain it in memory.
the red glow of the rockets
and the bombs exploding in the air
verified during the night
that our flag still
It was there.
The stars and stripes flag
.still waving
in the land of the free
.and home of the brave.
I'm not getting on that plane Susanne.
Michael, we won't make it in time.
Let's go.
-Hey Mick.
-Come on Mick.
You see it.?
Your brothers and all of us
We depend on you Michael.
You can't let us drift
and all your fans in Little Rock.
Come on, be a man.
Be a man, Michael.
Do you think the plane is going to crash?
The plane is not going to crash.
I know you're tired.
I am too and everyone.
We are working a lot, you know?
Airplanes, hotel rooms,
all those fans with all that noise.
and always away from home.
But I know that when you get on
to stage..
that's your thing Michael.
Sometimes I like it.
And sometimes not.
What do you think if we buy
a huge chocolate cake?
you can go eating it on the plane.
Nope.
Michael.
You never refuse a candy.
Don't make me go on that plane.
I'm scared, I don't want to go
but by plane, never.
Never.
Come on Michael.
-Nerd.
-Michael be still.
What do you do..?
You've gone mad?
-Nerd.
-come here.
We already missed one plane, Michael.
But we're not going to miss this flight, let's go.
You do not have to worry,
the plane is not going to crash.
Be still, Michael.
Michael, stop it.
We have to get on the plane.
I don't want to go up.
I don't want to get on the plane.
-Michael behave yourself, behave yourself.
Jackson Five, Jackson Five.
Are you OK.
This is not the time to cry, you have to
go out there and be strong, I want you to be strong..
you have to be a man,
You know who you are, you're Michael Jackson.
Let's go out.
you know what i will do
what you want
I know you think that
I'm not right.
I can't help but go back.
all i want is
be with you.
Don't worry,
I'm already here.
again with you,
but I'm always late.
And now I understand what happens.
In the name of love
I must stay.
I want to be where you are.
I want to be where you are.
I want to be where you are.
Hello.
Jermein.
Hazel.
How glad I am to see you again.
I have done nothing but think of you.
Jermaine
It's alright Joseph.
Hazel will take me home.
She was looking forward to getting out of the plane.
Oh Hazel, landing and
see you here waiting,
I am so happy.
I almost jumped out of a window.
I want you to know now that
I love you Hazel Gordy.
I love you too,
Jermaine Jackson.
Berry Gordy will not be satisfied until
for one of my children to call him "daddy".
Come on, my father doesn't bite.
Hazel and I, we both
we want a lot.
Yes?
I love her.
I am very glad to hear it.
we love each other and we want
always be together.
Good.
We wanted
We want..
Get marry?
Yes.
That is a very serious decision.
You have work?
Daddy.
Oh yes, I forgot, you
you work for me
Daddy, be nice.
It's alright, it's alright.
Listen Hazel,
Why don't you leave us Jermein
and talk to me alone for a moment.
It's fine, but daddy,
behave well.
-Alright.
-Please?
Very well.
Come on, go.
You know, the life of an artist and the
marriage, can cause problems.
there are the fans, women who love you
chase and then when you and..
Hezel have children, she will stay
at home to take care of them.
I will not allow it to be like this.
You say that now but it's hard to hold on
when outside there are so many temptations.
All those girls
that are following you
And we meet Hazel.
She would never consent to that.
I love Hazel, she is the
only person I love.
I've loved her since
first day I saw her.
I know you don't lie.
You have shown me during
years and I know that you are a good young man,
I want you to know that I will be
here when you need me
..all time.
Welcome to the family.
Joseph.
Jermain, he's on the phone.
He says that she wants to talk to you.
He and Hazel
I don't want to hear it.
What did she tell you?
She didn't want to answer the phone.
He didn't even want to answer
the phone.
He is very friendly.
Thanks.
At one, at two, yes very well.
Perfect, thanks.
Very well thanks.
Would you mind looking at the camera,
please.
-Indoors.
-You can believe it..
It must have cost a fortune, all
those flowers and those birds.
Pigeons, Joseph.
175 pigeons, Jermein told me.
Yes, a winter wonderland.
Artificial snow, decorated trees
Well, if Berry wants to spend all that
money on his daughter's wedding, it's only up to him.
Good night mom.
Michael.
I'm tired, I'm going to bed.
Maybe Michael wanted
marry Hazel?
Or maybe he wanted to be the one
Berry Gordy's son?
Stop, you know I don't
I like those jokes.
you know that
Michael is very sensitive.
so leave him alone.
All this marriage
it makes him suffer.
The wedding is over.
I'm done thinking about it.
That's why I brought you all together tonight.
It is time for us to think about the future.
We perform in Las Vegas.
I have signed an agreement with MGM.
And what did Mr. Gordy say?
Who cares what Mr. Gordy says.
I am the one who commands.
I run this.
Las Vegas?
Okay,
Michael likes the idea.
Janet and Randy will be there too.
It may interest the
TV channels?
maybe they want to do
a weekly show?
The Osmonds have a program.
They are good guys, we don't have
nothing against the Osmonds.
Do you think Donny Osmond
he does better than Michael?
What are better than us?
We will prove it to everyone.
Let's get on with
our dream.
Berry Gordy doesn't control this family?
It is understood.
I command.
His appeal is pure dynamite.
Located at the top.
She knows what she does.
She now she is a bad girl.
She will drive you crazy.
Dancing dancing,
dancing.
She is a dancing machine.
Baby, do it, baby.
Dancing, dancing, dancing.
It's a dance machine.
Baby, move on, baby.
It's a dance machine
See how he does it.
It's a dance machine.
It's a dance machine.
See how he does it.
It's a dance machine.
You guys have done well.
They do that very well.
What's up, Mike?
I always sing the same songs.
I need new stuff.
Why don't we rehearse that one in
what are you working on?
But what will it do?
We will never be able to sing it on a record.
Marvin Gaye is composing
his own music. Stevie Wonder too.
They fight for their songs,
and it's worth it.
Hey Jermain, why don't you
you lend a hand to your brothers.
Talk to Berry, finally
And after all, he is your father-in-law.
Being my father-in-law is one thing.
And the group is another.
Anyway, we are
A good combination.
We have been successful for 7 years.
We don't have any more hits.
We will have them, brother.
I will not go running with my
father-in-law, whenever a problem arises.
If you want to talk to him, talk.
I want to talk to him
but he doesn't want to listen to me.
No, another one.
you put on the cream
What did the dermatologist prescribe?
Yes.
Okay..
You are very constipated, you can
let that be the cause.
Mom, this is serious.
I'm just trying to help you, it's acne
one day he will go alone. Michael.
When?
I'm always 10 years behind on everything.
So I won't leave this house until I'm 28.
Well, being 10 years late means
that you are now 18, the age of acne.
Mom, am I not kidding?
I hate my looks.
You know?
My nose is very wide.
The fans want my voice
with another physique.
Like when I was little.
you can only be
a person in life, Michael
I don't even know who I am.
There is only music.
The music is in me.
all i remember
of my childhood is music.
My disk is not successful.
My voice has changed.
Do you know what is said about me?
That's Michael Jackson.
Look at him he has a lot of pimples.
They think I'm ugly.
O Michael.
I respect my fans mother.
I owe them everything.
I am letting them down.
Michael.
You can't live your life, trying
satisfy other people's wishes.
One is as it is.
And you are wonderful.
You have always been wonderful.
from the same day
in which you were born
Michael, is there something in your
look that moves everyone.
Berry always says that a song
must tell a story.
I have millions of stories in my head.
Sometimes at night
I can't sleep thinking about them.
I would like to sing them.
I am full of music.
I just have to get her out.
It will come out, no one will be able to stop it.
Okay listen to me
CBS wants to make a deal.
They want us to sign a contract,
right now.
are prepared for
Let's make the deal of the century.
They just told me
by phone.
We need to talk.
We produce the program
from Las Vegas, right?
We liked that experience, right?
Yes, it was a success.
Motown has always supported us.
Yes, but you must write
your own songs
Produce your own records.
Michael, we have to change.
Come on, you yourself
You have said thousands of times.
I'm sick of singing "choirs".
In the recordings not even
They need us in the studio.
Yes, we know that they will end up bending us.
We do our choreography,
we can also make our own music.
Yes, get out of this bubble.
We know as much as any of
the Motown of the record business.
Motown taught us
the whole business.
It has shaped us.
You already knew how to sing before being in the
Motown, they're prepared, they're professionals.
You have to be very clear, Michael.
We need to control ourselves.
That brother.
Let's tell Motown
to renegotiate our contract?
But how much do you think
are worth today.
what type of contract
can you satisfy us?
We know how to sing, write and produce
and promote our own albums.
CBS is ready.
Ready.
Jermain.
What's the matter?
Joseph is upstairs waiting for you.
He wants to talk with you.
Do you know what this is?
No, I do not know.
It's the contract, your signature is missing.
Contract?
Yeah, we quit motown.
We're leaving with CBS,
all your brothers have signed Jermain.
The only thing missing is you to sign.
Signature.
Nope.
I'm going to hire a lawyer.
I want to ask you some details.
to your lawyer?
Yes.
To mine.
Just keep one thing in mind,
the blood that you have is my blood,
not Berry Gordy's.
Come with us to New York
We are going to give a press conference.
Let's talk about our
switch to CBS.
You don't have to make statements
or say what you are going to do.
I'm not going with you.
Look Jermaine.
You and I have always
united state.
I only ask that
sing with us
We have a performance two days before,
from the press conference
Come on brother,
he sings with us.
How am I going to look to my left?
And that you are not there?
Please brother.
Please.
Hezel, I don't know what's going on.
I can't take the pressure
I'm going crazy.
So many years at Motown
And now everything falls apart.
Berry is my idol.
He always has been and always will be.
But how am I going to
abandon my brothers?
Jeremy, listen.
You must do what you want to do.
What you want to do.
You have to understand
that I am married to you.
I will continue to be your wife.
But your father.
This has nothing to do with my father.
He knows how much you love him.
I married you
not with business.
oh baby
I don't want to leave.
Motown is going through a
bad time and now I can't leave.
I want to help you
work again.
I don't know if I can
If I can do it, Hazel..
leave my brothers?
I don't know if I can.
THE JACKSON FIVE.
SOLD OUT.
What time is it?
It's almost time to go out.
Okay, ready, the most important thing
is that they do not panic.
No panic.
-Randy is here, ready, right
-Yes.
Jermain was always to my left.
He guided me through it.
I will take his place on the left.
Jermaine will come
I know it will come.
-Are you ready?
-Of course.
Are you sure?
I'm ready Joseph
I have always been ready.
We all depend on you, Randy.
Since he was 2 years old,
want to be in the group.
I'm ready.
This is your opportunity.
go for everything
Josh, don't worry.
Trust me.
Very well.
Mike, be strong.
Blood is thicker than water.
someday it will come back.
Alright.
All right, walk.
I have never known how to say goodbye.
No no no.
I have never known how to say goodbye.
Although the sorrow and heartbreak
They follow me everywhere
even though i tried
hide my feelings
..they always end up ratting me out.
Now try to tell me
you leave me
.. and I won't be able to leave
to say no.
Tell me why
..I feel like this.
I have never known how to say goodbye.
No no no.
I have never known how to say goodbye.
every time i think that
it's enough.
..and I go to the door..
I feel a strange sensation
that makes me meditate.
That tells me "fool, come back,
you know very well that you love her"
Tell me why
.I feel like this.
I do not want you to leave me.
I have never known how to say goodbye.
Chick.
I have never known how to say goodbye.
No no no.
I have never known
say goodbye, baby.
I have never known how to say goodbye.
No no no.
I have never known how to say goodbye.
No no no.
I have never known how to say goodbye.
I still think that our
problems will be solved soon.
But I have that unpleasant feeling
that anguish, that doubt.
Is the same
old complex
that will continue with or without you.
Tell me why
..I feel like this.
I do not want you to leave me.
I have never known
say goodbye, baby.
Chick.
I have never known how to say goodbye.
No no no.
I have never known
say goodbye, baby.
Chick.
I have never known how to say goodbye.
No no no.
I have never known
say goodbye, baby.
I have never known how to say goodbye.
Noticed.
this morning..
like the heart of the city
..starts to beat.
I extend my hand
..and touched her shoulder.
I dream of her streets.
If they ask why.
tell them what it is
human nature.
Because, why.
must be like this?
If they ask why.
Tell them you don't have
why be like this
If they ask why.
Stop, stop the music.
any problem Michael?
Let's do it again
From the beginning.
Alright.
From above.
Noticed
this morning..
like the heart
of the city begins to beat.
I extend my hand
Did you work last night too?
Yes, it's great, I loved it.
Testing all those instruments.
Michael, darling, you haven't forgotten
that the promo tour starts tomorrow.
-TRUE?
-Yes.
I'm not going.
"Joseph won't like it."
-Hello slime.
Not your brothers.
Hey, Baba.
I have started something
that I will not leave at this time.
I do not can.
It's coming to me
mind everything you wanted to express.
Slime. how are you?
Honey, we're all
excited about what you're doing.
but your brothers
they would like to participate.
I want to do this by myself.
They must understand, mom.
Samson, come on, hey?
Come on, how are you, are you hungry?
Yes..?
You have mistaken?
I think so.
They called twice yesterday.
They call twice and hang up.
The limo is coming.
I am not leaving.
That?
Because?
I don't feel very well.
I will go in two days.
Michael isn't going either.
What a surprise.
Well, tomorrow I'll take the plane.
I have bad the gartange.
Don't worry.
We take care of it.
They have a very tight schedule.
But they're only going to sign autographs.
personal appearances.
As easy as a-b-c
Simple as do-re-mi
Where is Randy?
he always has to
get to last.
Let's go.
Get in the car.
Chick.
He treats us like 3 year olds.
I'm sick of promotional tours.
When will we perform again?
Tell that to Michael.
Sure, yes to Michael
And where is Michael?
You have to make an appointment
see the little brother
Katherine.
Yes?
You want to go to the store and
bring me some ice cream?
Frozen?
There's still in the fridge.
It's just I want it mint.
Of mint?
just go to the store
and bring me some, alright.
Very well.
Mrs Jackson.
Is Katherine at home?
She has gone to the store,
I don't know if she'll come back.
I hope not.
I want to see you Joseph?
Did you get my money order?
Which one are you referring to?
I sent you a money order,
Have you received it.
Yes.
Very well.
I want to do it again
your house is so exciting.
I've heard it
I have heard it all.
I knew it was a sign
I knew it, I knew it.
Called twice and hung up.
She knew it was a sign.
so that you
you call back
I've heard it, I've heard it.
Been at my house.
In our bed.
No, Katie, listen, listen to me.
They planned it together
Why didn't you go with the boys?
No, you have confused the conversation.
Liar.
Joseph Jackson, you are a liar,
and a traitor.
And I don't love you anymore.
I don't love you, I don't love you
I don't love you, I don't love you
I do not want to see you anymore.
Trust me Katie,
I will never hurt you.
I could never, ever hurt you.
Oh God.
Mother!
Mother!
Joseph has called again.
I'm not here, mom.
Jermain called this morning.
Should I lie to him too?
I don't now I don't want to
talk to anyone, understand.
Two weeks Katie, the police
she will start looking for you soon,
the family is nervous, worried.
Rebbie knows where I am.
She'll tell them I'm fine.
What peace, what calm.
Too calm.
sometimes done so much
minus Chicago.
Nope.
Alabama is our home.
Nope.
Your home is where your heart is.
And your heart is in California, Katie.
you better accept it at once.
I don't want to go back there
not yet, I want to stay.
You have to be strong,
you have rested
It's time to face up.
you have always had
great courage.
I got it.
I inherited it from you.
From me, from your father,
courage runs in the blood.
Of potato?
You have to go to California,
that's where your home is.
You cannot deny what is natural.
You have returned.
How was the tour?
As usual.
I don't know what is Michael's?
When is he going to record another album with his brothers?
Where are everybody?
Randy has left with the motorcycle.
Janet dancing
on a TV show.
LaToya is in the study.
And what about Michael?
a week ago
I don't know where he is.
His attitude changed
with Marlon's wedding.
that's when it started
not to speak
He and Marlon were very close.
Since then he has been lonely.
Have you talked to Jermain?
There is nothing to talk about.
Joseph, I thought
I will not leave this house.
Katie, you see this letter.
The boys say they don't want
to represent them again.
Contract,
They will not renew it.
I put everything in the hands of those people,
to help me lead.
And what do they do?
They turn my children against me.
They say that I don't know how to do my job
They say I never should have
signed that contract with Motown
at first.
They are taking my children.
They are taking my children.
And I trusted those people.
These guys don't care about anything.
For this pass all those
damn years in the foundry.
I still have it inside, Katie.
I've still been inside all those years.
This
..What does it mean?
These people think they know more than me.
Who brought them here?
Our children are not us.
They were born from us
but they are not from us.
They decide their own path.
They have become adults.
That is why they have decided this.
Showing your independence.
We have brought them here,
but now they have to go it alone.
You have to take a step forward.
It is..
like teaching a bird to fly.
It is normal for them to fly away.
But they still love you Joe.
they still love you
And you, Kate?
I don't know Joe.
I don't know what I feel anymore.
He's downstairs in the study.
He has rented the studio to do the mixes,
It's the perfect time to catch him.
everyone is busy
except Marvin and Michael.
Have you talked to Michael?
Yes, he says he will be among the
public but will not perform in the show.
Well, if she doesn't want to do it
We'll have to do without him.
That?
Wait to?
Somehow he is honored
for building Motown, right?
Yes, but
how can i pray
to the people who do.
But he is not going to listen to me,
He won't listen to anyone but you.
So you have a problem,
it's your show.
Millions of people
They will feel cheated
yes Michael Jackson
It is not part of this celebration.
It is also their problem.
You couldn't you couldn't
talk to him.
I'm just asking you
A forced yes, instead
of a resounding no.
What do you want me to do?
Supplicate.
Michael
Who?
It's me.
Berry.
Sounds good Michael, I didn't think
that you could overcome The Wall, but yes.
You have an amazing record.
Thanks.
I'm glad you like it.
Things change over the years.
The business changes, the music changes.
The good old days
the Motown..
..it was as if we were in a
fantastic machine that took care of everything.
Like walking, talking, acting.
Yes, everything, but
there was something else.
let's make a program
TV special, Motown 25.
Yes, I have heard it.
I would like you to act in it,
You and Jermain, the brothers, united.
Don't know.
A lot of time has passed.
Yes it's correct.
But now is a great time.
I told Susanne, that
she preferred to be in the public.
That's not where I need you.
Also..
I am interested.
We have done a lot of television.
It is not a simple program,
It's Motown 25.
It's the celebration of
..a goal accomplished, which broke
all the obstacles, all the barriers.
It's about me.
And about you.
Years ago
You and your brothers don't see each other.
Wouldn't it be great to go out
stage again with them.
It would be something magical.
That you sing with Jermain, again.
That's magical.
Michael..
You may feel famous now
But if you do this, correctly.
I could throw you much higher.
Don't do it for me, do it for you.
it will be a great show
either way.
But with you.
It would be even better.
One time..
When I was a kid
I was with you and someone
I ask if it was your son.
I wanted you to say yes.
I have to tell you something Berry.
I have sometimes wished that
you were my father
If you want me to, I will.
With a condition.
Oh security, right?
I'll sing with my brothers, but
I want to sing a song by myself.
More than anything, she was a
movie film beauty.
I don't care but what
do you mean i'm the only one?
I want to dance on the floor.
She said she was the only one.
I want to dance on the floor.
She told me that her name was Billie Jean
and came to sing.
So I turn my head
and I began to dream that she was me.
I want to dance on the floor.
People always tell me:
"Be careful what you do
don't go there
breaking girls hearts"
Mom always tells me:
Be careful who you hang out with
..of what you do,
of the love you give".
Billie Jean is not my lover.
She's just a girl
she says it's me
but the boy is not my son.
She says I'm the only one
but the boy is not my son.
For 40 days and 40 nights
the law was on her side.
But who can understand
his schemes and the plans of him.
just because we were
dancing together in her room.
so have
heed my advice.
Remember that always
You have to count to 10.
You have to count to 10.
People always tell me:
"Be careful what you do.
Don't go around breaking
girls hearts.
but she came
and she stayed with me.
then she came
the scent of her perfume.
Everything happened very fast
and I was already in her room.
Billie Jean is not my lover.
She's just a girl
she says i'm the only one
..but the boy is not my son.
She says I'm the only one
..but the boy is not my son.
She says I'm the only one
but the boy is not my son.
He says I'm the only one.
You know very well
..that you have broken my heart.
He says I'm the only one.
Billie Jean is not my lover.
Billie Jean is not my lover.
Billie Jean is not my lover.
-You were wonderful.
-Thanks Mom.
Oh Marlon.
-You were wonderful too.
-Thanks Mom.
See the boys again.
Joined.
It's my old dream.
we can still shine
We can, we could do commercials together.
I explain myself, I explain myself,
It would be millions of dollars.
I already have one in mind.
What do you think of the idea?
My head.
Michael!
Calm down, don't move!
Call an ambulance!
My head!
Hurry, quickly.
Excuse me, step aside.
I'm going with you, Mike.
Everything will be fine.
I will go to your side inside
from the ambulance, don't worry.
Me too, do not worry,
I will not leave you alone.
You're going to be fine, brother.
Hey Joe.
Jackson, Mr. Jackson,
how do you feel right now?
How do I feel?
I am her mother.
well michael and you
they had their differences.
You have children?
Nope.
It is my son who is there.
My son.
It is a miracle that the
clothes will not catch fire.
you got second burns
and third degree in the head.
And my hair?
it will grow back.
the whole family is
out there waiting.
I'll go out and tell them
are you okay.
-Alright.
-Alright.
tell them i liked him
ambulance ride.
It was funny with the sirens going off.
As a child you said
that you liked a lot
Michael.
All this thing.
maybe i did it more
thinking about me.
that in you
I'm really sorry.
Michael.
believe it or not,
I also did it for you.
When I think of home
I think of a place
..where love overflows.
I would like to be home.
I would like to be there
..with the things I know.
with the wind that
he rocks and caresses the grass.
Now the flakes
falling snow
..have meaning.
Now it seems
everything clearer.
maybe maybe
there is a chance to return
..now that there is an address.
sure is nice
go back home
..where there is love and affection.
maybe i can
convince time
to slow it down.
give me the time
necessary to grow.
Time, be my friend.
Let me start over.
If your fans see you looking like that,
They all start putting bandages on their heads.
Michael
Yes mom?
I want to talk to you,
sit down for a moment
I know you did that
family announcement.
I thank you, because it was hard
which is when you are busy with your things.
My own music.
I only think about it.
I know.
I know what affects you and I understand it.
But Joseph had a dream,
he had a hunch.
The tour is Joseph's idea.
Our idea.
Yours and mine.
And now that Jermain has left Motown,
the family can act together again.
It won't be the same again.
You know, sometimes I see myself in my room,
and I would like to be small again.
you were always
rehearsing, or performing.
Always on stage.
They were so young
that occupied his life.
I wanted to play with the children.
And have a candy store.
Dress up like everyone
on Halloween, ride a bike..
..always saw others
children playing in the street.
We never had time for that.
They lost a lot of things, it's true.
I always thought that
you would abandon Joseph.
After all
what put you through
I think I still love him, Michael.
It may have happened a few times,
I may have taken
wrong decisions,
you may not have heard.
But it was him, thank you
to him all this is possible.
You, you've been so lucky
because you can reflect everything in your music.
All, all the sadness
all the joy.
All the things of the past
everything you feel now.
Michael, sit next to me.
I know you.
I understand why you feel so
only sometimes, I know it hurts you.
But my mother always infused me
courage, she told me it was something genetic.
That's why I tell you that.
You have courage too, Michael
Don't be afraid of anything.
Not Joseph.
Not even your fans
or what they expect of you.
Don't be afraid of the outside world.
But above all,
don't be afraid of us.
Because the Jacksons are more,
than a musical group.
The Jacksons are a family.
when we played
At school you liked her.
I was chasing you, but it was just
a game and you decided to quit.
Then, as we get older,
you promised to love me
But, like in school,
you play with me again
For the love
that you keep is yours.
you have to slow down
or one day you will be alone.
you better stop.
That can be your love.
Honey, stop to think.
you are entering
in a dangerous area.
I am the one who loves you.
I need you.
You know the other guys
they can't give you this.
You'll ruin your reputation
They will leave you behind.
If you saw how they talk about you,
as if you were just anyone.
Isaac said he kissed you
under an apple tree.
hold your hand
is to feel electricity.
When Alexander called you
you ignored him too.
Christopher discovered that
you were a very "mature" girl.
For! love
that you keep is yours.
you have to slow down
or one day you will be alone.
you better stop.
That can be your love.
Honey, stop to think.
you are entering
in a dangerous area.
For!
For!
"P" for stop.
"A" to slow down.
"R" for back.
"A" for love.
The love you keep is yours,
one day you will be alone
stop, baby
you better stop.
That can be your love.
Please.
Or someday, baby
..you will be alone.
For! the love that
guards is yours.
Stop, stop, girl.
Or one day you will be alone.
Thanks.
Thank you all.
I would like to say a few words.
As you know, we have started
this tour for many reasons.
But mainly.
For our mother.
And also for our father.
For the dream they had.
The American dream.
That started long ago
a long time.
When they arrived
our ancestors.
Slaves.
oppressed people.
humiliated.
And marginalized.
As you know we have traveled a
long way from that Jackson street.
in which my brothers and I
we had no color television.
luckily to our family
poverty did not sink her.
But I assure you that
Fame is not going to sink us either.
That's why we do this.
This tour
Is a celebration.
It is a victory.
My sons.
We give them
thank you
for the joy
.that they have given us.
We give them
thank you.
