I can't gather together words to describe 99 00:06:26,520 --> 00:06:31,300 Neverland. What inspired you to make a home like this? 100 00:06:32,100 --> 00:06:37,520 What inspired me?

I had to go and make these 113 00:07:27,720 --> 00:07:31,260 albums. Because the summer tour was right around the corner. 114 00:07:31,880 --> 00:07:35,760 And right across the street from the recording studio was a ballpark. 115 00:07:36,580 --> 00:07:38,160 And I could hear the kids. 116 00:07:38,960 --> 00:07:42,880 You know, the roar of the crowd and playing and catching the ball and having 117 00:07:42,880 --> 00:07:44,220 fun and playing tennis. 118 00:07:45,060 --> 00:07:49,460 And some of those times I so passionately wanted to just go over 119 00:07:49,460 --> 00:07:54,180 there and just play a little bit and not go to the recording studio and sing. 120 00:07:54,820 --> 00:07:57,200 Just to, you know, have some fun with the kids. 121 00:07:57,580 --> 00:07:58,740 And I couldn't. 122 00:08:07,530 --> 00:08:09,170 People say, why are you always with children? 123 00:08:09,590 --> 00:08:12,310 Well, I was raised in a world with adults. 124 00:08:13,010 --> 00:08:17,170 The kids were playing in bed, sleeping. I was up doing clubs. 125 00:08:17,610 --> 00:08:20,170 I was doing club dates, 3 in the morning. 126 00:08:20,490 --> 00:08:22,370 The striptease would come on after us. 127 00:08:23,030 --> 00:08:29,170 We were performing, and we did have friends. 128 00:08:29,590 --> 00:08:34,429 My brothers were my friends, but we worked. We worked every Christmas. 129 00:08:35,450 --> 00:08:38,049 On my birthday, there were very strict local witnesses. 130 00:08:38,510 --> 00:08:43,350 So I'm compensating. Nature made sure that I compensated for the loss. 131 00:08:43,730 --> 00:08:47,610 So when you come behind my gates, you'll see amusement parks, you'll see animals, 132 00:08:47,930 --> 00:08:50,750 you'll see everything I never got to do. There's candy everywhere. 133 00:08:52,770 --> 00:08:58,330 Fun. While Bashir and his crew were here at Neverland, they got to witness what 134 00:08:58,330 --> 00:09:00,290 has become an almost weekly experience. 135 00:09:01,090 --> 00:09:04,170 Buckloads of children stumped in the inner city, some orphans. 136 00:09:04,410 --> 00:09:10,050 some terminally ill, but all of us escaping their reality to spend a day at 137 00:09:10,050 --> 00:09:11,270 Michael Jackson's creation. 138 00:09:41,629 --> 00:09:47,350 I feel totally at home with them. I can talk to them one-on-one because they 139 00:09:47,350 --> 00:09:48,350 don't judge you. 140 00:09:48,510 --> 00:09:49,810 They're not looking for anything. 141 00:09:50,010 --> 00:09:51,050 They just want to have some fun. 142 00:09:51,810 --> 00:09:53,590 And that's the same with myself. 143 00:09:54,110 --> 00:09:57,350 And I can connect to that. I can understand that. 144 00:09:57,730 --> 00:10:02,330 And the fact that I miss that on so much as a child. 145 00:10:02,970 --> 00:10:05,670 As soon as they come in the room, for me, the room lights up. 146 00:10:05,970 --> 00:10:07,310 I like the sound it makes. 147 00:10:10,369 --> 00:10:11,530 Oh, that's great. 148 00:10:12,170 --> 00:10:13,170 That's great. 149 00:10:15,930 --> 00:10:16,930 They're really fun. 150 00:10:17,550 --> 00:10:18,870 Oh, my God, they're fun. 151 00:10:19,250 --> 00:10:22,650 Didn't one of them say something funny to you yesterday about...

I've seen the statues outside the house. 175 00:11:39,230 --> 00:11:43,710 Why is Peter Pan a figure of such interest and inspiration to you? 176 00:11:44,790 --> 00:11:51,050 Because Peter Pan, to me, represents something that's very special in my 177 00:11:51,050 --> 00:11:57,710 heart. You know, he represents youth, childhood, never growing up, magic, 178 00:11:58,010 --> 00:12:03,190 flying, everything I think that children... 179 00:12:04,839 --> 00:12:09,440 and wonderment and magic, what it's all about. 180 00:12:09,980 --> 00:12:14,260 And for me, I just have never, ever grown out of loving that or thinking 181 00:12:14,260 --> 00:12:15,300 that it's very special. 182 00:12:15,620 --> 00:12:16,680 You don't want to grow up? 183 00:12:16,900 --> 00:12:18,120 No, I am Peter Pan. 184 00:12:19,440 --> 00:12:20,820 Are you not your Michael Jackson? 185 00:12:21,120 --> 00:12:22,240 I'm Peter Pan, my heart. 186 00:12:22,720 --> 00:12:28,220 Do you think it would be true to say that you found friendship and 187 00:12:28,220 --> 00:12:32,540 inspiration in children that you haven't been able to find in adults? 188 00:12:33,210 --> 00:12:35,070 That's absolutely the truth. 189 00:12:35,910 --> 00:12:37,030 Really? Yeah. 190 00:12:38,190 --> 00:12:42,270 Yeah. I haven't been betrayed or deceived by children. 191 00:12:42,910 --> 00:12:45,990 Adults have let me down. Adults have let the world down. 192 00:12:46,290 --> 00:12:50,270 What you're seeing all took place on the day that Martin Bashir and his crew were 193 00:12:50,270 --> 00:12:51,470 filming at Neverland. 194 00:12:51,710 --> 00:12:55,830 You actually see him in several of the shots being taken by Jackson's camera 195 00:12:55,830 --> 00:12:59,590 crew. This was supposed to be a documentary to tell the truth. 196 00:13:00,090 --> 00:13:01,090 Everything. 197 00:13:01,920 --> 00:13:07,560 I mean, who would bring somebody to his life and open up all the way and wanted 198 00:13:07,560 --> 00:13:11,540 to lie about it? You know, if you don't want to lie about it, don't even do it. 199 00:13:11,720 --> 00:13:13,360 You didn't have to do this documentary. 200 00:13:13,660 --> 00:13:15,400 Nobody forced them to do this documentary. 201 00:13:16,340 --> 00:13:20,000 After a full day spent with children from the Make-A-Wish Foundation at 202 00:13:20,000 --> 00:13:23,860 Michael Jackson's Neverland Ranch, what was Mr. Bashir's comment? 203 00:13:25,040 --> 00:13:28,720 We'll quote directly from his appearance on ABC's Primetime Thursday. 204 00:13:30,090 --> 00:13:33,250 One of the most disturbing things is the fact that a lot of disadvantaged 205 00:13:33,250 --> 00:13:34,810 children go to Neverland. 206 00:13:35,110 --> 00:13:38,190 It's a dangerous place for a vulnerable child to be. 207 00:13:39,530 --> 00:13:42,990 Now, I'm not saying that I saw any evidence of Michael Jackson being 208 00:13:42,990 --> 00:13:44,670 involved sexually with any children. 209 00:13:45,030 --> 00:13:49,490 Quite the contrary. But what I am saying is that children who are vulnerable 210 00:13:49,490 --> 00:13:53,830 should not be going into the house of a billionaire superstar where they sleep 211 00:13:53,830 --> 00:13:54,830 in his bed. 212 00:13:55,510 --> 00:13:59,230 As we said, that was the sheerest comment heard on TV by millions of 213 00:13:59,230 --> 00:14:03,240 people. But what did Bashir say to Michael Jackson about this day at 214 00:14:03,240 --> 00:14:07,160 Neverland? Let's take a look at the footage that was captured by Michael's 215 00:14:07,160 --> 00:14:08,700 camera documenting the interview. 216 00:14:09,060 --> 00:14:12,140 The problem is, you see, nobody actually comes here. 217 00:14:12,820 --> 00:14:16,600 But I was here yesterday and I saw it. 218 00:14:17,210 --> 00:14:21,810 And it's nothing short of a spiritually kind thing. 219 00:14:22,710 --> 00:14:25,290 I know, I know, but I've told him. 220 00:14:25,610 --> 00:14:29,570 A lot of people see it. They never talk about it. And I've said this to him. And 221 00:14:29,570 --> 00:14:32,050 what I wanted to convey is those two things. 222 00:14:32,450 --> 00:14:35,310 And what we've had the privilege of doing this week is not only talking 223 00:14:35,310 --> 00:14:38,670 about the musical genius, but about what we saw yesterday, which was incredible. 224 00:14:39,250 --> 00:14:43,430 The woman you see has been Michael's makeup artist for over 20 years. 225 00:14:44,620 --> 00:14:48,040 After listening to the glowing praise Bashir had for Michael in this 226 00:14:48,040 --> 00:14:51,980 interview, she had a very hard time believing he could call Neverland a 227 00:14:51,980 --> 00:14:53,480 dangerous place for children. 228 00:14:54,940 --> 00:15:01,680 It's so hard for me to imagine that Michael opened up the 229 00:15:01,680 --> 00:15:07,940 gates, not only to Neverland, but to his heart, to Bashir. 230 00:15:09,720 --> 00:15:12,820 And I really thought... 231 00:15:13,520 --> 00:15:15,440 That first year, got it. 232 00:15:15,960 --> 00:15:16,960 It's getting worse. 233 00:15:17,320 --> 00:15:20,720 He goes, I mean, I can't tell you. I don't like this. 234 00:15:21,200 --> 00:15:23,460 He never speaks when he talks about this. 235 00:15:24,780 --> 00:15:30,760 But when he's talking about the things that he's passionate about, 236 00:15:31,060 --> 00:15:33,420 it's obvious that he's in his eye. 237 00:15:34,320 --> 00:15:37,020 People usually don't ask these questions. 238 00:15:37,280 --> 00:15:42,300 And if they do, they don't make it in the papers. They don't make it. 239 00:15:42,650 --> 00:15:44,850 On the interviews, it's all the negative stuff. 240 00:15:45,250 --> 00:15:48,630 And they cut questions out. 241 00:15:50,030 --> 00:15:51,810 That's why he doesn't even do interviews anymore. 242 00:15:52,990 --> 00:15:54,210 They twist everything. 243 00:15:54,610 --> 00:15:59,130 From the moment I met him, I mean, I remember, how can people be so cool? I 244 00:15:59,130 --> 00:16:01,630 read an article the other time, and he goes, Well, 245 00:16:03,050 --> 00:16:04,050 we ain't doing that here. 246 00:16:04,770 --> 00:16:07,850 Now, what could make an award-winning journalist? 247 00:16:08,330 --> 00:16:12,050 have such a different opinion between what he would say on the air and what he 248 00:16:12,050 --> 00:16:14,890 would say in the interview footage not included in his special. 249 00:16:15,370 --> 00:16:20,350 It appears that after Mr. Bashir had called cut for his own camera crew, he 250 00:16:20,350 --> 00:16:24,030 may well have forgotten that Michael's camera was still recording his every 251 00:16:24,030 --> 00:16:29,390 word, a possibility supported by a written request from both him and the 252 00:16:29,390 --> 00:16:33,390 producers of his special to make Michael's footage available for their 253 00:16:33,390 --> 00:16:34,390 review. 254 00:16:34,600 --> 00:16:38,580 The different opinion expressed by Mr. Bashir regarding the safety of the 255 00:16:38,580 --> 00:16:43,280 underprivileged children who visit Neverland is only the first of several 256 00:16:43,280 --> 00:16:48,660 contradictory moments captured on tape, all of which you will see and hear on 257 00:16:48,660 --> 00:16:49,660 this program. 258 00:16:50,060 --> 00:16:54,260 When we come back, an exclusive interview with Michael's ex-wife. 259 00:16:54,840 --> 00:16:59,400 As much as I do not speak about my family, I will. 260 00:17:00,520 --> 00:17:01,520 Right now. 261 00:17:01,880 --> 00:17:04,099 Michael makes a long overdue confession. 262 00:17:04,839 --> 00:17:06,440 You had sex with Debbie. 263 00:17:06,740 --> 00:17:10,339 I know that's difficult for me to say because you're so embarrassed. 264 00:17:10,980 --> 00:17:13,579 But you actually had sex with her. You can see that. 265 00:17:14,280 --> 00:17:16,800 And Debbie tells us about the result. 266 00:17:17,520 --> 00:17:18,800 And then his son was born. 267 00:17:20,180 --> 00:17:22,099 And look on his face. 268 00:17:25,619 --> 00:17:30,180 Plus, a very surprising revelation from Michael's private cameras. 269 00:17:30,830 --> 00:17:35,810 All when we return to the Michael Jackson interview, the footage you were 270 00:17:35,810 --> 00:17:36,810 never meant to see. 271 00:18:25,640 --> 00:18:29,420 In addition to the never-before-seen footage from Martin Bashir's interviews, 272 00:18:29,640 --> 00:18:33,720 we have also been allowed unprecedented interviews with some of the people 273 00:18:33,720 --> 00:18:37,960 closest to Michael Jackson, people who have turned down very lucrative offers 274 00:18:37,960 --> 00:18:41,380 to tell the inside story of life behind the Neverland Gate. 275 00:18:41,820 --> 00:18:45,700 They break their silence for the first time, and not for money. 276 00:18:46,000 --> 00:18:50,460 No one interviewed for this show received any payment to tell their 277 00:18:50,460 --> 00:18:54,420 story. Their reason for appearing here is to tell the truth. 278 00:18:54,780 --> 00:18:55,780 as they see it. 279 00:18:56,140 --> 00:19:01,560 And the person who has most avoided the glare of the spotlight is the person who 280 00:19:01,560 --> 00:19:06,980 was perhaps the closest to Michael, the woman who was his wife and the mother of 281 00:19:06,980 --> 00:19:09,440 his first two children, Debbie Rowe. 282 00:19:10,220 --> 00:19:13,920 What's happened in the past is things have been taken out of context, twisted 283 00:19:13,920 --> 00:19:14,920 around. 284 00:19:15,700 --> 00:19:22,280 If I can help straighten it out, as much as I do not speak about my family, I 285 00:19:22,280 --> 00:19:23,280 will. 286 00:19:24,000 --> 00:19:25,000 Right now. 287 00:19:25,900 --> 00:19:31,100 When I was talking to Prince one day, he said to me that he didn't have a mother. 288 00:19:33,200 --> 00:19:37,540 Yeah, I said, Prince, where's your mummy? And he said, I haven't got a 289 00:19:37,540 --> 00:19:38,540 mother. 290 00:19:39,560 --> 00:19:42,120 Did you tell him to say that? 291 00:19:42,940 --> 00:19:45,240 What do you think he means when he said, I haven't got a mother? 292 00:19:46,220 --> 00:19:52,720 My kids don't call me mum because I don't want them to. 293 00:19:55,320 --> 00:20:00,620 They're Michael's children. It's not that they're not my children, but I had 294 00:20:00,620 --> 00:20:03,500 them because I wanted him to be a father. 295 00:20:03,700 --> 00:20:09,960 I believe that there are people who should be parents, and he's one of them. 296 00:20:11,820 --> 00:20:17,280 And he is such a fabulous man and such a good friend, and he's always been there 297 00:20:17,280 --> 00:20:20,380 for me, always, from the day I met him. 298 00:20:23,880 --> 00:20:26,620 I could do something for him, and this is what I wanted to do. 299 00:20:28,420 --> 00:20:32,100 Most people think Michael and Debbie's relationship was very short-term. 300 00:20:32,580 --> 00:20:35,120 Actually, they met over 22 years ago. 301 00:20:35,900 --> 00:20:37,760 Was it intense, ma'am? No. 302 00:20:38,320 --> 00:20:39,920 No, it was over time. 303 00:20:40,260 --> 00:20:47,220 It was over time. I think it was 18 years, 17, 18 years 304 00:20:47,220 --> 00:20:53,120 that I knew him when I had Prince. 305 00:20:55,260 --> 00:20:59,980 In that time, they've gone on some very unusual outings, often with Michael in 306 00:20:59,980 --> 00:21:00,980 disguise. 307 00:21:02,280 --> 00:21:04,380 Yeah, he'd call, what are you doing?

We're getting chased by people. 312 00:21:17,340 --> 00:21:19,660 We'd have to call security and bail us out. 313 00:21:20,080 --> 00:21:23,460 But, yeah, we'd go out and do stuff. 314 00:21:24,120 --> 00:21:27,460 So you'd go out to the ranch. Sneak him into premieres and things. 315 00:21:29,280 --> 00:21:32,520 Yeah, we had a good time. We had a good time. He's always a lot of fun. 316 00:21:32,780 --> 00:21:36,020 When did Michael start talking about wanting to have kids? 317 00:21:36,380 --> 00:21:38,380 Was this when he was still with Lisa Marie? 318 00:21:38,700 --> 00:21:40,940 No, they had broken up. 319 00:21:41,600 --> 00:21:45,320 And I was trying to console him because he was really upset. 320 00:21:45,860 --> 00:21:51,180 And he was upset that he really wanted to be a dad. And I said, so be a dad. 321 00:21:52,160 --> 00:21:53,780 And he looked at me puzzled. 322 00:21:54,110 --> 00:21:55,590 And I said, let me do this. 323 00:21:56,010 --> 00:21:57,110 I want to do this. 324 00:21:58,030 --> 00:22:02,750 You've been so good to me.

As you've heard, the decision to have Michael's child was easy for 359 00:24:09,040 --> 00:24:12,040 Debbie. The actual birth was another matter. 360 00:24:12,719 --> 00:24:14,080 And we were very excited. 361 00:24:14,420 --> 00:24:16,380 Michael was definitely more excited than I was. 362 00:24:17,040 --> 00:24:21,120 You know, he was so excited when we had a contraction. 363 00:24:22,120 --> 00:24:23,420 And he was there. 364 00:24:23,940 --> 00:24:26,480 We had videos. We had music, you know. 365 00:24:27,440 --> 00:24:29,260 And it was long. It was 23 hours. 366 00:24:30,380 --> 00:24:36,060 And I had a very colorful language. 367 00:24:37,160 --> 00:24:41,620 And every time I went to say something, Michael would cut me off with, shoot. 368 00:24:43,280 --> 00:24:49,280 Or fudge. Oh, he doesn't like cursing. Or he didn't think it was necessary when 369 00:24:49,280 --> 00:24:50,560 there were other words he would do. 370 00:24:51,460 --> 00:24:54,620 But he was there the whole time, held my hand, 371 00:24:55,620 --> 00:24:57,380 stroked my head. 372 00:24:59,440 --> 00:25:04,880 I think I puked once, and I was so embarrassed. And he was like, stop. 373 00:25:05,300 --> 00:25:06,159 You're fine. 374 00:25:06,160 --> 00:25:08,880 This is beautiful. This is wonderful. I said, I'm going to die. 375 00:25:10,000 --> 00:25:11,460 No, you're not going to die. This is great. 376 00:25:12,179 --> 00:25:14,860 Okay, we're crowning, you know, and Michael, bam, he's right there. 377 00:25:15,100 --> 00:25:17,220 And he goes, oh, my God, this is so beautiful. 378 00:25:17,800 --> 00:25:22,380 Now, having come from a medical background, there is no way blood and 379 00:25:22,380 --> 00:25:23,380 stuff, there's no way. 380 00:25:24,020 --> 00:25:26,540 Sorry, I don't come from that background. 381 00:25:26,980 --> 00:25:29,120 It's like, Michael, it can't be that beautiful. 382 00:25:30,640 --> 00:25:31,880 He was welling up. 383 00:25:32,660 --> 00:25:33,800 And then his son was born. 384 00:25:35,300 --> 00:25:37,120 And the look on his face. 385 00:25:45,610 --> 00:25:46,610 Talk amongst yourselves. 386 00:25:54,770 --> 00:25:56,370 I'd never seen him that happy. 387 00:25:58,790 --> 00:26:05,470 And that's what made it wonderful for me, was 388 00:26:05,470 --> 00:26:09,050 to see the look on his face. 389 00:26:10,970 --> 00:26:13,530 The birth of Prince Michael was soon followed. 390 00:26:13,840 --> 00:26:15,020 By a sister, Paris. 391 00:26:16,200 --> 00:26:17,900 Yeah, we were kind of told we should wait. 392 00:26:18,140 --> 00:26:20,680 You know, I guess there's a waiting, a suggested waiting time. 393 00:26:21,540 --> 00:26:25,140 But I was flying to Paris all the time. That's actually how she got her name. 394 00:26:25,160 --> 00:26:26,160 That's where she was conceived. 395 00:26:27,280 --> 00:26:30,960 Do you not think, though, that your children would benefit from contact with 396 00:26:30,960 --> 00:26:31,960 their mother? 397 00:26:32,640 --> 00:26:33,800 No, but she doesn't. 398 00:26:35,760 --> 00:26:37,720 It's private information. She doesn't. 399 00:26:39,960 --> 00:26:42,000 She can't handle it. 400 00:26:42,590 --> 00:26:44,050 She can't handle her own children. 401 00:26:44,750 --> 00:26:48,150 Yes, I can't reveal that because I don't want to make anybody upset. 402 00:26:49,530 --> 00:26:53,250 While Michael may seem reluctant to discuss Debbie's absence from their 403 00:26:53,250 --> 00:26:56,410 children, Debbie had no reluctance whatsoever. 404 00:26:57,310 --> 00:27:03,350 People don't understand that. And they want a traditional, they think that 405 00:27:03,350 --> 00:27:04,410 something has to be traditional. 406 00:27:04,870 --> 00:27:10,850 And they have this notion of beaver cleaver. 407 00:27:12,389 --> 00:27:19,110 That wasn't reality in the 50s, and that's not reality in the 21st century. 408 00:27:19,770 --> 00:27:23,730 We have a nontraditional family, and if it makes people uncomfortable, 409 00:27:24,010 --> 00:27:29,750 it's a shame that they're not more open. 410 00:27:30,930 --> 00:27:32,150 We are a family unit. 411 00:27:33,030 --> 00:27:34,930 Michael and I will always be connected with the kids. 412 00:27:36,030 --> 00:27:38,830 I will always be there for him. I will always be there for the children. 413 00:27:40,460 --> 00:27:43,440 And people make remarks, oh, I can't believe she left her children. 414 00:27:44,480 --> 00:27:47,080 Left them? I left my children? 415 00:27:47,460 --> 00:27:50,580 I did not leave my children. My children are with their father. 416 00:27:52,960 --> 00:27:54,380 Where they're supposed to be. 417 00:27:58,500 --> 00:28:05,260 So, this mother carries both children for nine months in her 418 00:28:05,260 --> 00:28:09,600 body. And she gives birth to them. And she prefers... 419 00:28:09,870 --> 00:28:11,250 that they have nothing to do with her. 420 00:28:14,250 --> 00:28:19,990 Split up because I... They got to a point where I couldn't deal with it. I 421 00:28:19,990 --> 00:28:21,870 couldn't deal with the fact... I couldn't go to the grocery store. 422 00:28:22,570 --> 00:28:24,250 For two reasons. One, I'd get followed. 423 00:28:25,290 --> 00:28:31,870 Two, I'd have to look at crap on the newsstands that are right at the 424 00:28:31,870 --> 00:28:34,850 register as you go out that wasn't true. 425 00:28:35,610 --> 00:28:36,610 You know? 426 00:28:38,030 --> 00:28:39,530 I wasn't used to it. 427 00:28:39,810 --> 00:28:41,470 I like doing things for myself. 428 00:28:44,290 --> 00:28:46,850 Michael's more than generous. He said, we don't have to go to the grocery 429 00:28:46,850 --> 00:28:48,430 store. But I want to. 430 00:28:49,950 --> 00:28:51,030 I really want to. 431 00:28:51,590 --> 00:28:55,110 I want to go back to what I can go back to. 432 00:28:55,390 --> 00:28:58,590 That was what I was used to. That's where I'm comfortable. 433 00:28:59,070 --> 00:29:01,350 Doing this is very uncomfortable for me. 434 00:29:01,990 --> 00:29:05,290 Talking about these things is extremely uncomfortable for me. 435 00:29:07,980 --> 00:29:12,360 But it's hard when you're an entertainer, you know. It's hard to have 436 00:29:12,360 --> 00:29:13,360 a marriage. 437 00:29:13,820 --> 00:29:18,080 I mean, one day I'll be married again, but it's too soon. I went through two 438 00:29:18,080 --> 00:29:19,080 tough courses. 439 00:29:19,500 --> 00:29:21,700 So I'm married to my fans. 440 00:29:22,680 --> 00:29:24,740 I'm married to God. I'm married to my children. 441 00:29:25,020 --> 00:29:26,020 I'm married to life. 442 00:29:26,660 --> 00:29:30,900 Coming up, the notorious incident that had the whole world talking. 443 00:29:33,520 --> 00:29:37,420 It happened for like two seconds, but when it gets on the news, it's slowing 444 00:29:37,420 --> 00:29:38,420 down. 445 00:29:39,400 --> 00:29:43,060 Michael's mother reveals what it was like to grow up in the Jackson 5. 446 00:29:44,920 --> 00:29:49,500 Joseph didn't beat him or anything like that. We just disciplined him out of 447 00:29:49,500 --> 00:29:52,600 love. And we find out why Bubbles had to go. 448 00:29:52,960 --> 00:29:57,780 Because kids, they get to an age, like teenage kids do, where they want to 449 00:29:57,780 --> 00:29:59,000 challenge their parents. 450 00:29:59,640 --> 00:30:02,440 All when we return to the Michael Jackson interview. 451 00:30:03,080 --> 00:30:05,320 The footage you were never meant to see. 452 00:30:21,140 --> 00:30:25,120 When Martin Bashir arrived to film Michael and his children, Bashir was 453 00:30:25,120 --> 00:30:28,820 immediately confronted with one of the major worries of celebrity parents, the 454 00:30:28,820 --> 00:30:30,400 horrible danger of kidnapping. 455 00:30:31,220 --> 00:30:35,090 Consequently... As a security measure, public appearances by Michael's children 456 00:30:35,090 --> 00:30:39,390 require that their faces be hidden behind masks or veils. 457 00:30:39,650 --> 00:30:43,730 Because you don't let anybody see the children. I don't want a Lindbergh baby. 458 00:30:44,070 --> 00:30:48,170 Nobody took Lindbergh baby, Charles Lindbergh baby, took him in the forest 459 00:30:48,170 --> 00:30:49,370 and burned him to death. 460 00:30:49,710 --> 00:30:52,350 Okay, so I don't want that to happen to my children. 461 00:30:53,710 --> 00:30:58,890 Bashir's repeated questioning failed to establish one important fact, whose idea 462 00:30:58,890 --> 00:31:00,210 it was to wear them. 463 00:31:01,420 --> 00:31:06,120 I obviously have some influence, as their faces are still covered. 464 00:31:06,880 --> 00:31:10,940 That was my request, not his. 465 00:31:11,160 --> 00:31:12,800 Michael's very proud of his children. 466 00:31:13,900 --> 00:31:15,160 I'm the one who's terrified. 467 00:31:16,880 --> 00:31:22,820 I'm the one who's seen the notes that someone's going to take his children. 468 00:31:25,800 --> 00:31:26,800 They're not. 469 00:31:27,560 --> 00:31:28,560 They're not. 470 00:31:31,850 --> 00:31:36,510 Whatever, whatever can be done. They're not. There's nothing more terrifying 471 00:31:36,510 --> 00:31:42,010 than looking at a piece of paper that says, I'm taking them. 472 00:31:43,590 --> 00:31:44,770 And I said, you know what? 473 00:31:45,410 --> 00:31:47,190 I wore a scarf. No big deal. 474 00:31:50,150 --> 00:31:51,150 Pretend it's Halloween. 475 00:31:51,850 --> 00:31:55,690 I don't want people seeing that the press are very mean. 476 00:31:56,210 --> 00:31:57,850 I don't want them to grow up psychologically. 477 00:31:58,590 --> 00:32:01,150 Crazy because of the evil things they could say to them. 478 00:32:01,470 --> 00:32:02,550 I want them to be normal. 479 00:32:03,650 --> 00:32:04,950 That makes sense, doesn't it? 480 00:32:05,690 --> 00:32:07,390 Yeah. Right? It does. 481 00:32:07,650 --> 00:32:08,650 It does. 482 00:32:08,830 --> 00:32:15,130 And I'm sure at some point he will say, you know, to the children, 483 00:32:15,190 --> 00:32:18,530 do you want to wear the scarf? 484 00:32:19,250 --> 00:32:25,450 I will have immediate heart failure, you know, but, you know, he's not going to 485 00:32:25,450 --> 00:32:26,970 make his children do something they don't want to do. 486 00:32:27,360 --> 00:32:28,440 He's not that kind of a parent. 487 00:32:30,380 --> 00:32:31,380 Not at all. 488 00:32:32,360 --> 00:32:39,320 And I truly don't see why everybody 489 00:32:39,320 --> 00:32:40,480 focuses on that. 490 00:32:41,820 --> 00:32:43,320 I mean, is it a fashion statement? 491 00:32:43,980 --> 00:32:45,140 Are the scarves not matching? 492 00:32:45,500 --> 00:32:46,560 You know, we'll work on it. 493 00:32:49,920 --> 00:32:53,460 While some people may have a hard time with the intense security measures 494 00:32:53,460 --> 00:32:55,020 Michael and his family have to follow, 495 00:32:55,760 --> 00:33:00,100 There was one particular occurrence in Germany that had many people questioning 496 00:33:00,100 --> 00:33:04,940 his children's safety Take 497 00:33:04,940 --> 00:33:11,660 for example what happened in Germany where there was a huge 498 00:33:11,660 --> 00:33:17,860 outcry And you suffered a great deal of negative comment in the press Was 499 00:33:17,860 --> 00:33:20,780 there no one in your group who said Michael? 500 00:33:22,190 --> 00:33:25,550 Even though you're not going to damage your child, and you would never harm 501 00:33:25,550 --> 00:33:31,530 your child, but Michael, if you dangle blanket over a balcony, you are going to 502 00:33:31,530 --> 00:33:32,590 be severely criticized. 503 00:33:33,810 --> 00:33:36,730 Was there no one in the room who would say, Michael, don't do it? 504 00:33:38,390 --> 00:33:39,490 And they didn't say no? 505 00:33:40,090 --> 00:33:43,490 No, because I was holding that baby strong, hard, tight. 506 00:33:43,810 --> 00:33:46,550 No, that's exactly what I'm saying, though. And I know better. 507 00:33:47,100 --> 00:33:51,520 And I've seen people that flip their kids up in the air, do somersaults and 508 00:33:51,520 --> 00:33:52,520 catch them. 509 00:33:52,560 --> 00:33:55,960 And, you know, I get caught for the moment. It's holding on tight. 510 00:33:57,120 --> 00:33:58,440 Give away. 511 00:33:58,980 --> 00:34:04,520 And, uh, but this is in two seconds, but when it gets on the news, we slow it 512 00:34:04,520 --> 00:34:06,640 down. They don't show the crowd. 513 00:34:06,900 --> 00:34:11,199 They're making me look like I'm this eccentric idiot dangling his baby over a 514 00:34:11,199 --> 00:34:12,600 balcony like a nut. 515 00:34:13,100 --> 00:34:15,600 I think the media took. 516 00:34:16,330 --> 00:34:19,030 Took it and ran like they do everything else. 517 00:34:19,510 --> 00:34:26,090 It's just like oh my god. Oh my god dropping the baby, please Please they 518 00:34:26,090 --> 00:34:31,290 blew it up into something. It's not that we know about so Misunderstood explain 519 00:34:31,290 --> 00:34:35,350 it. What don't we know about what should we know about him? We don't know all 520 00:34:35,350 --> 00:34:40,530 right. I'll tell you from the very beginning good He had such a grip on 521 00:34:40,530 --> 00:34:46,710 that child and if you look at it again He's got that child so 522 00:34:46,710 --> 00:34:50,110 tightly held under the armpits. 523 00:34:50,770 --> 00:34:51,810 I'm showing it now. 524 00:34:53,469 --> 00:34:55,670 Yeah, he's got it pretty tight under his arm. 525 00:34:56,489 --> 00:35:00,450 Governance was up there, security was up there, other people. I took my other 526 00:35:00,450 --> 00:35:01,850 children up there and did the same thing. 527 00:35:08,710 --> 00:35:11,230 Like I said before, he's very proud of his children. 528 00:35:12,080 --> 00:35:16,860 You know? And to listen to his fans all night long. 529 00:35:17,300 --> 00:35:20,700 They're so adoring and so loving and loyal. 530 00:35:21,040 --> 00:35:22,400 And they'll be there all night. 531 00:35:22,640 --> 00:35:27,480 And they wanted to see the little one. And he showed them the little one. 532 00:35:28,060 --> 00:35:29,060 Nothing inappropriate. 533 00:35:30,260 --> 00:35:34,720 May not have been the best thing he's ever done in his life. 534 00:35:35,140 --> 00:35:39,740 But certainly, I think it was made too big a deal of. 535 00:35:48,720 --> 00:35:53,040 In spite of his admission that he was not happy about the incident, it still 536 00:35:53,040 --> 00:35:57,000 did not seem as troubling to Michael as it did to people around the world. A 537 00:35:57,000 --> 00:36:01,860 point Martin Bashir made both in his TV special and in his comments on primetime 538 00:36:01,860 --> 00:36:03,780 Thursday after the show aired. 539 00:36:04,380 --> 00:36:07,940 He said that they are restricted. They are overly protected. 540 00:36:08,540 --> 00:36:11,940 I was angry at the way his children were made to suffer. 541 00:36:12,300 --> 00:36:17,120 What he said about Michael's parenting skills in the footage that was not aired 542 00:36:17,120 --> 00:36:22,440 appears to paint an extremely different picture. And we must stress, what you're 543 00:36:22,440 --> 00:36:26,960 about to see and hear happened during Bashir's final interview with Michael 544 00:36:26,960 --> 00:36:31,120 long after the incident with the baby on the Berlin hotel balcony. 545 00:36:32,760 --> 00:36:36,940 One of the things that I noticed about you over the last year is your 546 00:36:36,940 --> 00:36:38,120 relationship with your children. 547 00:36:38,480 --> 00:36:42,520 And I have to say to you, and I didn't know you before, and you haven't put on 548 00:36:42,520 --> 00:36:45,720 a front, your relationship with your children is spectacular. 549 00:36:46,380 --> 00:36:47,380 Hello. 550 00:36:48,140 --> 00:36:52,620 And in fact, it almost makes me weep when I see you with them, because your 551 00:36:52,620 --> 00:36:57,720 interaction with them is just so natural, so loving, so caring. 552 00:36:58,040 --> 00:37:03,140 And everybody who ever comes into contact with you knows that. 553 00:37:03,780 --> 00:37:05,020 I'm crazy about them. 554 00:37:07,720 --> 00:37:12,580 And I tell them, I look into their eyes every day. I make sure I do it. I say, 555 00:37:12,600 --> 00:37:14,700 look at me. I love you very much. 556 00:37:15,340 --> 00:37:19,420 What they actually say to you is they love you, and you say, I love you more. 557 00:37:19,620 --> 00:37:21,980 That's what you say every single time. 558 00:37:22,300 --> 00:37:25,240 That's your phrase, and I've heard it. I've heard it once. I've heard it a 559 00:37:25,240 --> 00:37:26,240 million times. 560 00:37:26,960 --> 00:37:31,480 Yeah, and they say such sweet things sometimes. 561 00:37:32,040 --> 00:37:34,420 And I didn't tell them to say it. 562 00:37:34,960 --> 00:37:39,180 They see it all the time. A principal can say, Daddy, thank you for giving me 563 00:37:39,180 --> 00:37:40,180 a brother. 564 00:37:40,260 --> 00:37:41,380 All the time. 565 00:37:41,840 --> 00:37:45,080 You know, parents will say that too. Thank you for giving us a brother. 566 00:37:45,420 --> 00:37:50,560 You know, I mean, and I would like to have more children. 567 00:37:50,840 --> 00:37:56,240 You know what? If he called me tonight and said, let's have five more, in a 568 00:37:56,240 --> 00:37:58,600 heartbeat. You would do it again. In a heartbeat. 569 00:37:58,920 --> 00:38:02,380 In a heartbeat. Now, what could have persuaded? 570 00:38:02,800 --> 00:38:06,720 one of the world's most reclusive superstars, to grant an interviewer and 571 00:38:06,720 --> 00:38:08,580 a camera crew entrance into his life. 572 00:38:08,840 --> 00:38:13,900 Now, according to Jackson, it was to answer many of the important questions 573 00:38:13,900 --> 00:38:17,540 that tabloids and fans have been speculating about for years. 574 00:38:17,780 --> 00:38:22,200 As you've seen, not all of those important answers made it on the air. 575 00:38:22,600 --> 00:38:27,580 And as for the not-so-earth-shaking ones, well, they were edited out, too, 576 00:38:27,660 --> 00:38:29,620 like the whereabouts. 577 00:38:30,170 --> 00:38:30,988 of Mr. 578 00:38:30,990 --> 00:38:33,210 Jackson's former constant companion. 579 00:38:34,250 --> 00:38:35,430 Where is Bubbles now? 580 00:38:36,070 --> 00:38:42,330 Bubbles is, he's with a caretaker with like 40 to 50 other chimps, 581 00:38:42,330 --> 00:38:47,970 because chimps, they get to an age, like teenage kids do, where they want to 582 00:38:47,970 --> 00:38:49,190 challenge their parents. 583 00:38:49,770 --> 00:38:52,590 Like if your father tells you to do something, you go, why? 584 00:38:53,110 --> 00:38:54,450 Why do I have to do it, Dad? 585 00:38:54,750 --> 00:38:57,350 And chimps are very much like that, too. They'll challenge you. 586 00:38:57,800 --> 00:38:59,840 And it can become dangerous in a way. 587 00:39:00,420 --> 00:39:06,140 And if they get angry with you and decide to take you on, it's no match. I 588 00:39:06,140 --> 00:39:07,640 mean, they're very, very strong. 589 00:39:08,320 --> 00:39:10,720 They can take your finger off. They're very powerful. 590 00:39:11,420 --> 00:39:15,660 But while Bubbles was living at Neverland, Bubbles, the other animals, 591 00:39:15,700 --> 00:39:18,000 and Michael were virtually inseparable. 592 00:39:19,300 --> 00:39:22,280 Many people made fun of me with my animals, you know. 593 00:39:22,740 --> 00:39:26,480 If I come home from a hard day at the studio and I come home to my deer, 594 00:39:27,260 --> 00:39:31,840 or my chimps, and I can hug them, and they don't ask you anything, they don't 595 00:39:31,840 --> 00:39:34,120 complain, you know, they don't gossip. 596 00:39:34,340 --> 00:39:39,220 They just want a hug and some love, and get on with it. You know, where's the 597 00:39:39,220 --> 00:39:42,680 pizza? Whip out the ice cream. Because the chimps, they love snacks. 598 00:39:43,680 --> 00:39:48,980 And, you know, they run around, and they help me clean the room, and they help me 599 00:39:48,980 --> 00:39:55,400 fix up things, you know, and their DNA is literally identical to ours, if you 600 00:39:55,400 --> 00:39:56,400 look in the microscope. 601 00:39:57,280 --> 00:39:58,380 And they're amazing. 602 00:39:58,760 --> 00:40:01,740 Chimps would help you clean the house? Yeah, yeah. They help me clean up my 603 00:40:01,740 --> 00:40:03,320 room. They help me dust. 604 00:40:04,280 --> 00:40:05,340 They do windows. 605 00:40:05,980 --> 00:40:08,340 They brush the toilet after they use the bathroom. 606 00:40:09,560 --> 00:40:12,760 You let the chimps use your own bathroom? Sure, yeah, of course. 607 00:40:13,720 --> 00:40:15,140 Bubbles would go himself. 608 00:40:16,160 --> 00:40:21,200 And he'd sit at the table and he'd pick up his spoon and his fork and he'd eat 609 00:40:21,200 --> 00:40:22,200 and he's very polite. 610 00:40:22,380 --> 00:40:23,700 And he's very intelligent. 611 00:40:24,540 --> 00:40:29,040 While in Berlin with Jackson, Martin Bashir was invited to accompany Michael 612 00:40:29,040 --> 00:40:31,280 and his two children on a trip to the zoo. 613 00:40:34,120 --> 00:40:38,620 But because someone had evidently tipped off the press, the paparazzi were out in 614 00:40:38,620 --> 00:40:43,840 force, causing chaos and a potentially dangerous situation for the Jackson 615 00:40:43,840 --> 00:40:44,840 family. 616 00:40:45,580 --> 00:40:49,300 Do you know it took us three and a half hours to get in and out? 617 00:40:49,820 --> 00:40:52,060 and we spent four minutes in front of the gorillas. 618 00:40:52,280 --> 00:40:57,780 It was chaos, Mike. I was in the middle of it. Our cameraman fell over. 619 00:40:59,160 --> 00:41:03,900 And at one point, Prince got hurt by someone's umbrella. 620 00:41:04,780 --> 00:41:10,360 Do you really think it was worth the pain of three and a half hours for four 621 00:41:10,360 --> 00:41:11,380 minutes in front of the gorillas? 622 00:41:19,580 --> 00:41:21,340 I didn't know that was going to happen like that. 623 00:41:21,600 --> 00:41:25,200 As you've seen and heard from Michael's behind-the-scenes camera of Bashir's 624 00:41:25,200 --> 00:41:30,060 interview, Bashir seems to express a genuine concern for the welfare of 625 00:41:30,060 --> 00:41:35,160 Michael's children and raises the question as to Michael's apparent lapse 626 00:41:35,160 --> 00:41:36,740 of parental judgment. 627 00:41:37,460 --> 00:41:42,340 Bashir comments, it was no kind of trip for two young children, and everyone 628 00:41:42,340 --> 00:41:44,260 could see it but Jackson himself. 629 00:41:44,660 --> 00:41:48,140 But what Bashir doesn't include is Michael's explanation. 630 00:41:48,940 --> 00:41:52,160 that Michael was informed that the zoo would be closed during his visit. 631 00:41:52,360 --> 00:41:53,800 I go to the zoo all the time. 632 00:41:54,060 --> 00:41:56,560 I go usually when they close it down. 633 00:41:56,860 --> 00:42:00,640 And they told us this would be closed down. And they didn't. They left the 634 00:42:00,640 --> 00:42:03,860 gates open and vans and people started pouring in. 635 00:42:04,180 --> 00:42:09,000 In fact, what the owner said, because I was there, he actually said that his 636 00:42:09,000 --> 00:42:13,780 view was at the end of the normal opening hour, he would have closed the 637 00:42:13,780 --> 00:42:17,020 zoo and then just opened it for you and your family. 638 00:42:18,380 --> 00:42:22,200 But you decided not to go then. You wanted to go in the day rather than... 639 00:42:22,200 --> 00:42:22,899 It's not true. 640 00:42:22,900 --> 00:42:23,618 Is that not true? 641 00:42:23,620 --> 00:42:27,280 It's not true. That was what he said. I don't want to go in the day. I have a 642 00:42:27,280 --> 00:42:28,280 problem with the sun. 643 00:42:29,440 --> 00:42:32,780 Well, it was winter in Germany, so it wasn't... Nighttime would have been much 644 00:42:32,780 --> 00:42:33,780 cooler. Yeah. 645 00:42:34,600 --> 00:42:36,940 But wouldn't it have been better to have gone at night? Yeah. 646 00:42:37,280 --> 00:42:38,280 So why didn't you? 647 00:42:39,820 --> 00:42:41,420 I never knew that was the proposal. 648 00:42:41,660 --> 00:42:43,500 I thought we had a slot and that was it. 649 00:42:44,160 --> 00:42:47,060 This was like just a misunderstanding from the zoo. 650 00:42:47,670 --> 00:42:51,230 Park and, you know, Michael's people, and they thought the zoo was going to be 651 00:42:51,230 --> 00:42:52,610 closed, but it wasn't. 652 00:42:53,010 --> 00:42:55,790 But that whole thing was not a big deal. 653 00:42:56,670 --> 00:43:00,410 I mean, he goes through that all the time. 654 00:43:00,950 --> 00:43:05,290 Coming up, Michael's video cameras capture a very revealing moment. 655 00:43:05,750 --> 00:43:08,190 But it's so quick to call you strange and weird. 656 00:43:08,670 --> 00:43:10,750 It's almost as if you're forced to be different. 657 00:43:11,730 --> 00:43:14,450 Michael's father reacts to Bashir's special. 658 00:43:14,790 --> 00:43:16,510 Well, one of the things that... 659 00:43:16,960 --> 00:43:22,680 I can see this man tried to do. He tried to pin something on me where I was real 660 00:43:22,680 --> 00:43:27,020 brutal. What caused the surgery the other special didn't tell you about? 661 00:43:27,320 --> 00:43:32,040 He was so badly burnt on the top of his head. The whole top of his head caught 662 00:43:32,040 --> 00:43:36,020 fire right in front of my eyes. The devastating disease that Michael claims 663 00:43:36,020 --> 00:43:37,520 turned him porcelain white. 664 00:43:37,800 --> 00:43:42,800 I was putting on cream to make myself lighter. That's not true. I didn't light 665 00:43:42,800 --> 00:43:46,470 it. and friends of Michael who were forced to leave their home. 666 00:43:47,590 --> 00:43:52,370 All when the Michael Jackson interview, the footage you were never meant to see, 667 00:43:52,570 --> 00:43:53,570 continued. 668 00:43:57,050 --> 00:44:01,430 We'd like to remind you that while Michael Jackson provided much of the 669 00:44:01,430 --> 00:44:07,310 footage you are seeing tonight, he has absolutely no editorial control over the 670 00:44:07,310 --> 00:44:08,390 content of this program. 671 00:44:30,830 --> 00:44:35,690 In the past hour, you've seen a British journalist ask some tough questions. 672 00:44:36,230 --> 00:44:37,630 What hurts you most? 673 00:44:38,050 --> 00:44:39,170 When they lie. 674 00:44:39,750 --> 00:44:40,750 They lie. 675 00:44:41,030 --> 00:44:42,510 They complete lie. 676 00:44:42,830 --> 00:44:44,850 And some tougher questions. 677 00:44:45,410 --> 00:44:47,810 You had sex with Debbie? Yes. 678 00:44:48,190 --> 00:44:51,210 I know that's difficult for me to say because you're so embarrassed. 679 00:44:51,870 --> 00:44:55,950 You're about to hear Michael Jackson's family rally around him, voicing their 680 00:44:55,950 --> 00:44:59,130 support. They can go and talk to these children all they want. They're not 681 00:44:59,130 --> 00:45:02,590 going to find anything. What they need to do is leave him alone. 682 00:45:02,970 --> 00:45:04,490 And voicing their disagreement. 683 00:45:05,110 --> 00:45:07,590 I hear Michael saying that he's lonely. 684 00:45:08,290 --> 00:45:11,730 Back in those days, Michael had his brothers. He had all his brothers to 685 00:45:11,730 --> 00:45:12,488 play with. 686 00:45:12,490 --> 00:45:16,170 You've seen Michael's ex-wife come forward for the first time with 687 00:45:16,170 --> 00:45:17,170 expressions of emotion. 688 00:45:18,440 --> 00:45:19,880 I've never seen him that happy. 689 00:45:22,220 --> 00:45:27,100 And that's what made it wonderful for me. 690 00:45:27,680 --> 00:45:29,240 And expressions of strength. 691 00:45:29,660 --> 00:45:33,820 I did not leave my children. My children are with their father, where they're 692 00:45:33,820 --> 00:45:34,820 supposed to be. 693 00:45:34,860 --> 00:45:40,000 But most of all, you've seen Michael Jackson's own private cameras catch the 694 00:45:40,000 --> 00:45:43,580 good. I think God out there is something between the children. 695 00:45:43,940 --> 00:45:44,940 The bad. 696 00:45:45,630 --> 00:45:51,050 If you dangle blanket over a balcony, you are going to be severely criticized. 697 00:45:51,510 --> 00:45:52,510 The strange. 698 00:45:52,610 --> 00:45:55,390 You let the chimps use your own bathroom? Sure, yeah, of course. 699 00:45:56,330 --> 00:45:57,950 Bubbles will go in itself. 700 00:45:58,230 --> 00:45:59,630 And the strangely human. 701 00:46:00,050 --> 00:46:01,050 I am Peter Pan. 702 00:46:02,250 --> 00:46:03,710 Are you not your Michael Jackson? 703 00:46:03,930 --> 00:46:05,130 I'm Peter Pan, my heart. 704 00:46:11,510 --> 00:46:14,690 But what you've seen so far is only the beginning. 705 00:46:15,280 --> 00:46:20,000 of the Michael Jackson interview, the footage you were never meant to see. 706 00:46:28,120 --> 00:46:28,680 In 707 00:46:28,680 --> 00:46:35,520 addition 708 00:46:35,520 --> 00:46:39,220 to revisiting the interviews with Michael Jackson that were contained in 709 00:46:39,220 --> 00:46:42,980 the ABC special, we've also asked members of the Jackson family to 710 00:46:42,980 --> 00:46:46,490 comment. on the information that the special chose to include. 711 00:46:47,010 --> 00:46:51,070 While the Jacksons are a very supportive family, not all of what they have to say 712 00:46:51,070 --> 00:46:55,470 is in complete agreement with Michael. And many of the comments you'll hear 713 00:46:55,470 --> 00:46:58,910 have never been revealed publicly until now. 714 00:46:59,570 --> 00:47:04,990 We're trying to get above all of this, the way of being united together. We 715 00:47:04,990 --> 00:47:09,590 don't like what some of the things are being said out there, but when you're 716 00:47:09,590 --> 00:47:11,970 number one out there all over the world, you're... 717 00:47:12,330 --> 00:47:15,070 Get those kind of pot shots at you at all times. 718 00:47:15,530 --> 00:47:21,750 You've been so successful, and you've amassed so much wealth, you never need 719 00:47:21,750 --> 00:47:22,750 to work again. 720 00:47:23,570 --> 00:47:25,830 And yet you don't seem to be able to enjoy it. 721 00:47:27,490 --> 00:47:30,470 It seems that you're restricted somehow. 722 00:47:31,410 --> 00:47:33,030 I enjoy it to my children. 723 00:47:33,370 --> 00:47:34,770 But I'm talking about you. 724 00:47:35,990 --> 00:47:37,870 You just don't seem to enjoy it. 725 00:47:38,670 --> 00:47:39,670 Enjoy what? 726 00:47:40,000 --> 00:47:42,200 Enjoy your success. Enjoy your work. 727 00:47:43,360 --> 00:47:46,360 It's hard to... I can enjoy it behind my gaze. 728 00:47:46,680 --> 00:47:50,380 But I can't go out and enjoy it because it becomes work all over again. 729 00:47:50,680 --> 00:47:54,540 Working has been Michael's life from the time he was five years old. 730 00:47:54,920 --> 00:47:57,860 Oh, darling, I was blind to let you go. 731 00:47:58,320 --> 00:48:03,120 And as we've already seen, missing out on his childhood continues to affect him 732 00:48:03,120 --> 00:48:04,280 to this very day. 733 00:48:10,640 --> 00:48:12,260 You often seem very lonely. 734 00:48:12,680 --> 00:48:13,880 Is that true? 735 00:48:14,480 --> 00:48:16,120 I used to be very lonely. 736 00:48:17,440 --> 00:48:21,300 Painful. I had no idea. 737 00:48:22,800 --> 00:48:27,160 I used to walk the streets looking for people to talk to. 738 00:48:29,400 --> 00:48:32,000 I hear Micah saying that he's lonely. 739 00:48:32,340 --> 00:48:36,240 But back in those days, Micah had his brothers. He had all his brothers to 740 00:48:36,240 --> 00:48:37,218 play with. 741 00:48:37,220 --> 00:48:39,220 And so, you know. 742 00:48:39,720 --> 00:48:43,200 And the kids that he brought all the candy around, he'd buy so much candy and 743 00:48:43,200 --> 00:48:45,880 the kids would be in a circle, standing around in a circle. 744 00:48:46,160 --> 00:48:50,040 And they'd all be eating candy off the allowance I had given him. 745 00:48:50,420 --> 00:48:54,060 But one thing he enjoyed was to see those kids eating that candy and he'd be 746 00:48:54,060 --> 00:48:59,400 laughing. Once you're surrounded by your family, by musicians, by people wanting 747 00:48:59,400 --> 00:49:02,320 to be your friend, you were an international superstar. 748 00:49:02,800 --> 00:49:04,380 How can you say you had no friends? 749 00:49:04,700 --> 00:49:06,080 Because those people... 750 00:49:06,620 --> 00:49:10,680 spoke to me on a language on another level that was musical, that was 751 00:49:10,680 --> 00:49:15,760 entertainment, but to get away from that, to separate oneself from that, and 752 00:49:15,760 --> 00:49:18,880 to try to discover the fun things about life. 753 00:49:19,860 --> 00:49:21,420 When do you feel that? 754 00:49:22,800 --> 00:49:24,240 When do I feel alone? 755 00:49:28,940 --> 00:49:32,500 I mean, I can be, you know, usually in hotels. 756 00:49:35,520 --> 00:49:40,360 Thousands of friends chanting, you're out in the street, moving sleeping bags, 757 00:49:40,460 --> 00:49:44,060 and you're chanting, and they love you and everything, and you can't get out, 758 00:49:44,060 --> 00:49:49,040 you feel trapped inside, and you just cry, and you feel alone, you know? 759 00:49:49,420 --> 00:49:54,540 And there's all that love out there, but you really do feel trapped and alone, 760 00:49:54,740 --> 00:49:59,380 that you can't get out. And if you go to a bookstore, if you go out, if you go to 761 00:49:59,380 --> 00:50:03,220 a club, which I don't like clubs, you know, 762 00:50:04,069 --> 00:50:07,510 Every book you buy, they wonder, why are you buying this? Why is Michael Jackson 763 00:50:07,510 --> 00:50:08,269 buying this? 764 00:50:08,270 --> 00:50:09,450 Why is he reading this? 765 00:50:09,770 --> 00:50:14,290 Or you go to the club. As soon as you go in there, every song is my song, as if I 766 00:50:14,290 --> 00:50:15,290 want to hear my music. 767 00:50:16,110 --> 00:50:18,590 And everybody starts chanting for me to dance. 768 00:50:19,210 --> 00:50:22,810 So it becomes a show all over again. So you can't go anywhere. 769 00:50:23,070 --> 00:50:24,930 So wherever you go, you know. 770 00:50:27,070 --> 00:50:29,870 That's not much of a life, is it? I know. It's difficult. 771 00:50:30,330 --> 00:50:33,930 And I don't want to complain like I'm complaining because it comes with the 772 00:50:33,930 --> 00:50:37,690 territory, but I don't think people understand the other side that comes 773 00:50:37,690 --> 00:50:42,290 with it. So they're so quick to call you strange and weird, but it's almost as if 774 00:50:42,290 --> 00:50:47,010 you're forced to be different because it's not normal life, you know? 775 00:50:47,370 --> 00:50:52,290 I can do the normal things, go to the store and buy a piece of bread, a piece 776 00:50:52,290 --> 00:50:54,110 of candy or something. He can't do that. 777 00:50:54,670 --> 00:50:58,670 So that would cause you to become a recluse or to sort of be withdrawn. 778 00:50:59,010 --> 00:51:03,670 Do you not sometimes wish that you could go to the local store and buy yourself 779 00:51:03,670 --> 00:51:07,690 some food and come back? Of course. I want to go to the market, like one of 780 00:51:07,690 --> 00:51:12,430 those markets, and take one of those carts and throw some food in there and 781 00:51:12,430 --> 00:51:13,430 go down the aisle. 782 00:51:14,030 --> 00:51:15,310 I would love to do that. 783 00:51:15,530 --> 00:51:16,368 Can you do that? 784 00:51:16,370 --> 00:51:18,170 No. Of course not. 785 00:51:18,730 --> 00:51:19,730 Of course not. 786 00:51:20,930 --> 00:51:22,770 I tried in the... 787 00:51:23,340 --> 00:51:24,960 The whole place stops. 788 00:51:26,080 --> 00:51:29,500 Everybody's chanting and getting an autograph. 789 00:51:30,580 --> 00:51:31,580 It's hard. 790 00:51:31,720 --> 00:51:32,900 It doesn't work. 791 00:51:33,180 --> 00:51:37,440 That's why I love putting on disguises. One of the disguises Michael would wear 792 00:51:37,440 --> 00:51:42,300 in public was from his music video, Ghost, a makeup process that took 793 00:51:42,300 --> 00:51:47,860 several hours and would turn him into a completely unrecognizable and very large 794 00:51:47,860 --> 00:51:48,900 white man. 795 00:51:49,400 --> 00:51:52,660 I'd sit on a bench at Disneyland on Thanksgiving. 796 00:51:53,150 --> 00:51:58,470 I sit there and I love it. I love watching people, studying people's 797 00:51:58,470 --> 00:52:01,390 characters. That's what I like. I like going inside. 798 00:52:02,230 --> 00:52:03,770 That's sending performance. 799 00:52:05,230 --> 00:52:10,650 You can tell right away when an artist, you can read on her face when she's 800 00:52:10,650 --> 00:52:15,430 dancing, she's counting one and two and three and four and five and six and six. 801 00:52:15,730 --> 00:52:18,710 But when you, that's the wrong concept for dance. 802 00:52:19,240 --> 00:52:22,760 Dancing is about feeling, not about thinking. So when they count, they're 803 00:52:22,760 --> 00:52:29,360 thinking. To feel, become the bass, become the drums, become the guitar, the 804 00:52:29,360 --> 00:52:32,260 drums. You become a oneness, you know? 805 00:52:42,500 --> 00:52:45,440 That's very important, but that's real. 806 00:52:46,030 --> 00:52:48,850 But that's Michael Jackson talking as a performer. 807 00:52:49,770 --> 00:52:54,590 But that's not Michael Jackson the person. 808 00:52:59,590 --> 00:53:03,350 One of the most compelling and revealing lines of questioning that Martin Bashir 809 00:53:03,350 --> 00:53:07,290 pursued had to do with the strict discipline that Michael and his brothers 810 00:53:07,290 --> 00:53:08,850 endured at the hands of their fathers. 811 00:53:09,470 --> 00:53:13,790 Unfortunately, this is footage that Mr. Bashir and his producers have not 812 00:53:13,790 --> 00:53:14,950 allowed us to show you. 813 00:53:15,360 --> 00:53:20,080 But we can tell you that it was a very emotional description of beatings with 814 00:53:20,080 --> 00:53:22,500 belts and the cords from irons. 815 00:53:22,900 --> 00:53:25,820 You remember when you said to me that you just wanted to run away from your 816 00:53:25,820 --> 00:53:27,380 father? I did. 817 00:53:27,640 --> 00:53:28,640 I used to hide. 818 00:53:29,540 --> 00:53:35,780 Well, one of the things I can see this man tried to do, he tried to pin 819 00:53:35,780 --> 00:53:38,160 something on me where I was real brutal. 820 00:53:38,780 --> 00:53:42,720 And raising these guys, Jermaine and all the rest of them, they all got 821 00:53:42,720 --> 00:53:43,720 whippings. 822 00:53:43,950 --> 00:53:46,330 They didn't get no beatings, you know. They got a reference. 823 00:53:46,810 --> 00:53:49,950 We were disciplined in the way in which he knew. 824 00:53:50,150 --> 00:53:55,990 And during that time, all children and parents at the time, with their kids, we 825 00:53:55,990 --> 00:54:00,150 had to be in before the lights were on at night, and we had to ask for things. 826 00:54:00,570 --> 00:54:04,890 And I thought it was great because it allowed us to become what we became. 827 00:54:05,660 --> 00:54:08,980 We never got on drugs. We never got in trouble. 828 00:54:09,260 --> 00:54:14,140 And I see the difference from my upbringing as when I came to California 829 00:54:14,140 --> 00:54:17,320 and friends as I went to school with how they would curse the parents out and 830 00:54:17,320 --> 00:54:22,020 slam the door and disrespect them. Joseph didn't beat them or anything like 831 00:54:22,020 --> 00:54:26,180 that. We just disciplined them out of love. And the Bible says if you love a 832 00:54:26,180 --> 00:54:27,440 child, you will discipline them. 833 00:54:27,820 --> 00:54:31,660 The discussion of the strict discipline and verbal abuse by Michael's father. 834 00:54:32,200 --> 00:54:35,780 went on for almost eight minutes, and Mr. Beshear's finished special. 835 00:54:36,460 --> 00:54:41,360 But what he did not include was a short but very revealing comment from Michael 836 00:54:41,360 --> 00:54:42,820 about his father. 837 00:54:43,660 --> 00:54:44,660 He did. 838 00:54:45,020 --> 00:54:50,980 I don't think how he hurt me when he was little, but he's a genius. The man is a 839 00:54:50,980 --> 00:54:53,400 genius. At the same time, he was a genius. 840 00:54:53,700 --> 00:54:54,740 He really is. 841 00:54:55,080 --> 00:54:58,760 But Michael, he injured you when you were a child. 842 00:54:58,980 --> 00:55:00,500 Yeah, but look what came out of it. 843 00:55:01,020 --> 00:55:03,980 Well, maybe I wouldn't have the infection for the kids that I have today 844 00:55:03,980 --> 00:55:04,980 and wanted to help them. 845 00:55:35,400 --> 00:55:38,460 Without a doubt, one of the most controversial topics of Michael 846 00:55:38,460 --> 00:55:42,880 Jackson's life is his relationship with children. The scandals and rumors 847 00:55:42,880 --> 00:55:47,080 surrounding allegations made against Jackson are the subject of seemingly 848 00:55:47,080 --> 00:55:48,140 endless speculation. 849 00:55:48,780 --> 00:55:53,480 As we told you before, Michael Jackson has no editorial control over the 850 00:55:53,480 --> 00:55:54,480 content of this program. 851 00:55:54,700 --> 00:55:59,760 What you see and hear is intended to be an unbiased presentation that allows you 852 00:55:59,760 --> 00:56:01,380 to draw your own conclusions. 853 00:56:02,100 --> 00:56:03,280 Some years ago, 854 00:56:04,080 --> 00:56:09,700 You yourself were about to embark on a tour and allegations were made about you 855 00:56:09,700 --> 00:56:10,700 and children. 856 00:56:11,140 --> 00:56:15,220 What about 1993? What happened? What was Michael Jackson doing? 857 00:56:19,180 --> 00:56:26,000 He would never 858 00:56:26,000 --> 00:56:27,200 hurt a child. Never. 859 00:56:27,960 --> 00:56:28,960 It's not in him. 860 00:56:29,720 --> 00:56:32,500 It's... No way. 861 00:56:33,020 --> 00:56:36,740 He would never do anything inappropriate with a child. 862 00:56:37,920 --> 00:56:40,740 It's the furthest thing from his mind. 863 00:56:41,660 --> 00:56:48,640 When those allegations came in 93, I think it was, he 864 00:56:48,640 --> 00:56:49,640 was devastated. 865 00:56:50,380 --> 00:56:52,640 I mean, talk about going for the jugular. 866 00:56:53,620 --> 00:56:58,120 At every opportunity, the media has dissected and manipulated these 867 00:56:58,120 --> 00:57:00,160 allegations to reach their own conclusions. 868 00:57:01,230 --> 00:57:05,670 I ask all of you to wait and hear the truth before you label or condemn me. 869 00:57:05,910 --> 00:57:10,670 I watched Michael after they accused him of that child molestation. 870 00:57:12,250 --> 00:57:18,790 But at first he was a little lonely and all, but he never stopped because he 871 00:57:18,790 --> 00:57:19,790 knew it wasn't the truth. 872 00:57:20,010 --> 00:57:21,850 And he never stopped loving children. 873 00:57:22,210 --> 00:57:24,550 No, that's what I admire about him. He keeps going. 874 00:57:25,670 --> 00:57:26,950 He's not going to give up. 875 00:57:27,630 --> 00:57:30,570 And he's going to still give to all of us. I just know it. 876 00:57:31,580 --> 00:57:33,200 And Brashears will come and go. 877 00:57:34,140 --> 00:57:35,140 You know? 878 00:57:35,580 --> 00:57:36,660 Michael will live forever. 879 00:57:43,320 --> 00:57:46,220 Apparently, there's some confusion with sleeping in beds. 880 00:57:47,060 --> 00:57:49,780 My favorite thing to do is to sit in bed and watch TV. 881 00:57:50,740 --> 00:57:55,240 If you're coming over, take your shoes off, get on the bed, or watch the TV. 882 00:57:56,020 --> 00:57:59,720 Michael was never indicted. He was never charged. He was never anything. 883 00:58:00,700 --> 00:58:03,860 They came in this house, right, and they tore this house apart. 884 00:58:04,100 --> 00:58:05,660 They went in my mother's safe. 885 00:58:06,460 --> 00:58:12,940 They tore it up, and they went in my mother's hyperpressure pills, and they 886 00:58:12,940 --> 00:58:17,100 were looking at, I mean, just what were they looking for? They were trying and 887 00:58:17,100 --> 00:58:20,240 trying to try to get some crap on Michael that was not true. 888 00:58:20,580 --> 00:58:21,740 What hurts you most? 889 00:58:22,380 --> 00:58:23,380 When they lie. 890 00:58:24,100 --> 00:58:25,100 They lie. 891 00:58:25,360 --> 00:58:26,600 They complete lies. 892 00:58:27,600 --> 00:58:28,600 I mean, it hurts. 893 00:58:28,720 --> 00:58:32,700 And it hurts me because I know there's children out there who have to hear that 894 00:58:32,700 --> 00:58:39,360 crap. Why do people do that when all you have done is brought 895 00:58:39,360 --> 00:58:45,840 some of the most beautiful music, most beautiful popular music that many of us 896 00:58:45,840 --> 00:58:46,839 have ever heard? 897 00:58:46,840 --> 00:58:51,640 Why do people want to judge you if all you've done is been an artist and 898 00:58:51,640 --> 00:58:53,160 brought wonderful music? 899 00:58:56,040 --> 00:58:57,040 People become jealous. 900 00:58:58,660 --> 00:59:00,140 It hurts to be misunderstood. 901 00:59:01,060 --> 00:59:05,520 No matter how much you try to put people on track, there will still be some 902 00:59:05,520 --> 00:59:08,840 judgment that is so far from the truth. 903 00:59:11,460 --> 00:59:15,660 Following the broadcast of Mr. Beshear's special, the speculation about what went 904 00:59:15,660 --> 00:59:21,040 on in Jackson's private life was once again headline news, primarily due to 905 00:59:21,040 --> 00:59:25,360 the story of Gavin, a young man who had reportedly been dying of cancer. 906 00:59:25,840 --> 00:59:28,480 Gavin was somebody who was diagnosed with cancer. 907 00:59:29,120 --> 00:59:32,960 Doctors gave him, I think, three weeks or one month to live. 908 00:59:33,240 --> 00:59:37,660 One of his last wishes was to meet Michael, a request fulfilled through Los 909 00:59:37,660 --> 00:59:39,920 Angeles businessman Jamie Masada. 910 00:59:40,180 --> 00:59:44,280 Then he said to me, he said, under his breath, he said, I want to meet Michael 911 00:59:44,280 --> 00:59:49,700 Jackson. At that point, I didn't know Michael Jackson. And I just came out of 912 00:59:49,700 --> 00:59:51,720 the room, I started crying. 913 00:59:52,350 --> 00:59:53,470 I didn't know what to do. 914 00:59:53,750 --> 00:59:58,250 I called Neverland. I said, is there any way you can get a chance to call the 915 00:59:58,250 --> 01:00:02,510 kid? They're not coming next day. And I said, Gavin, he had a little smile on 916 01:00:02,510 --> 01:00:03,089 his face. 917 01:00:03,090 --> 01:00:06,170 I said, Gavin, what's going on? He said, Michael, call me. 918 01:00:07,150 --> 01:00:11,050 Gavin and his family formed an immediate bond with Jackson, creating an 919 01:00:11,050 --> 01:00:14,350 atmosphere that many believe played a large part in Gavin's recovery. 920 01:00:14,910 --> 01:00:18,650 You know, two and a half years ago, the doctor, they said, two more weeks, he's 921 01:00:18,650 --> 01:00:19,650 dead. 922 01:00:19,850 --> 01:00:20,850 Now he's alive. 923 01:00:21,440 --> 01:00:25,180 His appearance on the Bashir special showed a seemingly healthy and happy 924 01:00:25,180 --> 01:00:29,980 young man, clearly very fond of Jackson. And while Mr. Bashir did touch on 925 01:00:29,980 --> 01:00:34,780 Gavin's amazing recovery, many believe that the real focus was on Michael's 926 01:00:34,780 --> 01:00:38,640 relationship with the young man, especially the revelation that they had 927 01:00:38,640 --> 01:00:40,480 spent the night in the same room. 928 01:00:40,860 --> 01:00:44,660 The thing that upsets me right now, the reason I'm giving you the interview, 929 01:00:44,800 --> 01:00:47,360 because Gavin called me, he was crying on the phone. 930 01:00:47,760 --> 01:00:51,060 He went in gas station. The kid in gas station, they start kidding. 931 01:00:51,280 --> 01:00:54,200 Oh, you are the kid doing this with Michael. You slept with Michael. 932 01:00:54,460 --> 01:00:59,400 It's horrible to do to a kid. This kid been through life. He been through 933 01:00:59,400 --> 01:01:04,460 horrible life so far. Since Mr. Bashir's documentary aired, Gavin and his mother 934 01:01:04,460 --> 01:01:09,300 have gone into seclusion after being bombarded by requests for interviews 935 01:01:09,300 --> 01:01:11,300 from tabloids around the world. 936 01:01:12,440 --> 01:01:17,320 This statement released to the press by Gavin's mother says, I'm appalled at the 937 01:01:17,320 --> 01:01:20,160 way in which my son has been exploited by Martin Bashir. 938 01:01:20,560 --> 01:01:24,820 The relationship that Michael has with my three children is a beautiful, loving 939 01:01:24,820 --> 01:01:26,720 father, sons, and daughter one. 940 01:01:27,060 --> 01:01:31,600 To my children and me, Michael is a part of our family. In addition, she is 941 01:01:31,600 --> 01:01:35,700 considering action against Mr. Bashir for including Gavin in his special 942 01:01:35,700 --> 01:01:37,540 without parental consent. 943 01:01:39,340 --> 01:01:41,460 It can only take the lies for so long. 944 01:01:43,380 --> 01:01:44,840 And I've reached my limit. 945 01:01:45,960 --> 01:01:47,420 And that's why I'm doing this. 946 01:01:47,960 --> 01:01:50,560 I'm not here to defend my boss. 947 01:01:51,340 --> 01:01:53,160 I'm here to tell the truth. 948 01:01:53,600 --> 01:02:00,300 I didn't really know how you behave with the people who come to the 949 01:02:00,300 --> 01:02:02,120 ramps and come to your home. 950 01:02:02,900 --> 01:02:04,020 I hadn't seen it. 951 01:02:05,000 --> 01:02:08,640 And you were the most generous person. 952 01:02:10,620 --> 01:02:12,500 But I looked around here yesterday. 953 01:02:13,340 --> 01:02:15,660 And some of the people really appreciated it. 954 01:02:16,200 --> 01:02:17,660 But others were greedy. 955 01:02:18,300 --> 01:02:19,780 Others couldn't help themselves. 956 01:02:21,720 --> 01:02:24,580 Do you sometimes despair of human nature? 957 01:02:28,140 --> 01:02:29,140 Yes. 958 01:02:30,640 --> 01:02:34,940 One of the topics repeatedly brought up in Martin Bashir's interview is the same 959 01:02:34,940 --> 01:02:38,580 one that has been the subject of speculation by countless tabloids, talk 960 01:02:38,580 --> 01:02:41,700 shows, and comic monologues for over 20 years. 961 01:02:42,090 --> 01:02:44,710 Michael Jackson's changing appearance. 962 01:02:45,490 --> 01:02:52,390 Having surgery or changes or whatever, cosmetic surgery or anything 963 01:02:52,390 --> 01:02:55,630 like that, people have that sort of thing in this country all the time. All 964 01:02:55,630 --> 01:02:56,288 the time. 965 01:02:56,290 --> 01:02:59,950 People go on a weekly basis to have things changed. 966 01:03:00,350 --> 01:03:03,850 And all celebrities, most movies die, you know. 967 01:03:04,810 --> 01:03:07,770 So why is it such an issue that you do that? 968 01:03:08,130 --> 01:03:10,450 But the fact that they said I... 969 01:03:10,880 --> 01:03:16,920 Like I'm overly obsessed with it. It's not true. 970 01:03:17,200 --> 01:03:20,000 The things they've said that I've done are not true. 971 01:03:20,220 --> 01:03:23,140 I haven't had my eyes done. I haven't had my cheekbones done. 972 01:03:23,360 --> 01:03:24,680 I haven't had my lips done. 973 01:03:24,920 --> 01:03:26,420 I haven't had my tan done. 974 01:03:27,280 --> 01:03:28,280 That's a lie. 975 01:03:29,570 --> 01:03:34,550 In the final interview eight months later, Martin Bashir is still doggedly 976 01:03:34,550 --> 01:03:36,970 pursuing rumors of Michael's plastic surgery. 977 01:03:39,830 --> 01:03:46,690 An area of his life Bashir said he felt Michael had been less than honest about. 978 01:03:55,420 --> 01:03:57,520 Yeah, but even the shape of your face has changed. 979 01:04:01,280 --> 01:04:01,760 Do 980 01:04:01,760 --> 01:04:13,900 you 981 01:04:13,900 --> 01:04:17,740 think that people do go too far with plastic surgery, generally? 982 01:04:17,980 --> 01:04:22,800 Do you think it's become... So why are you so defensive when people say Mick 983 01:04:22,800 --> 01:04:23,800 Jagger's had one? 984 01:04:24,000 --> 01:04:26,440 Paul McCartney may have had one. Oh, Michael Jackson had one. 985 01:04:26,700 --> 01:04:29,420 They don't do it that way. What do they do? They just pick on me like I'm the 986 01:04:29,420 --> 01:04:30,900 only one that does it. That's why. 987 01:04:31,960 --> 01:04:35,980 So if people said, well, actually, Michael's the same as everyone else, 988 01:04:36,140 --> 01:04:38,980 then it wouldn't upset you so much. It would upset me so much. 989 01:04:39,240 --> 01:04:41,800 You know, if you want to have a facelift, you have a facelift. Yeah, if 990 01:04:41,800 --> 01:04:42,800 it makes you happy. 991 01:04:43,380 --> 01:04:47,040 Regardless of your opinion about the extent of Michael's plastic surgery, one 992 01:04:47,040 --> 01:04:48,040 fact is clear. 993 01:04:48,460 --> 01:04:52,440 Martin Bashir's TV special made only passing reference to one of the most 994 01:04:52,440 --> 01:04:54,740 noticeable differences in Michael's appearance. 995 01:04:55,560 --> 01:04:59,980 Bashir quoted people as saying that when Michael Jackson was a boy, he was a 996 01:04:59,980 --> 01:05:00,779 black kid. 997 01:05:00,780 --> 01:05:04,040 And now as an adult, he looks like a white man. 998 01:05:04,340 --> 01:05:09,020 Which was a rumor. They said I was putting on cream to make myself lighter. 999 01:05:09,220 --> 01:05:11,720 That's not true. I have vitiligo. You have a condition. 1000 01:05:12,260 --> 01:05:15,940 Vitiligo is a medical condition that Jackson claims has afflicted him for 1001 01:05:15,940 --> 01:05:16,940 more than 20 years. 1002 01:05:17,150 --> 01:05:21,250 This disfiguring skin disease affects nearly 2% of the world's population and 1003 01:05:21,250 --> 01:05:25,590 strips all pigmentation from the skin. The result is not just pale, but 1004 01:05:25,590 --> 01:05:26,590 porcelain white. 1005 01:05:26,730 --> 01:05:31,250 The beginning of the vitiligo happened, started happening relatively early. 1006 01:05:31,570 --> 01:05:34,830 You know, he even was trying to hide it from me. 1007 01:05:35,150 --> 01:05:39,670 He tried to hide it for quite a while. You know, he'd always try to cover with 1008 01:05:39,670 --> 01:05:43,690 makeup and even out his skin tone and everything until it just... 1009 01:05:44,350 --> 01:05:47,390 got so extensive. I mean, it's all over his body. 1010 01:05:47,710 --> 01:05:53,110 We were always trying to hide it and cover it for the longest time until he 1011 01:05:53,110 --> 01:05:58,070 just had to tell Oprah and tell the world, listen, I'm not trying to be 1012 01:05:58,070 --> 01:05:59,690 white. I have a skin disease. 1013 01:06:00,400 --> 01:06:04,900 The loss of pigment exposes vitiligo sufferers to great risk of skin cancer, 1014 01:06:05,140 --> 01:06:10,060 requiring constant shade from the sun and thick makeup or sunblock to lessen 1015 01:06:10,060 --> 01:06:10,859 the exposure. 1016 01:06:10,860 --> 01:06:15,100 You know, in the beginning, I tried to cover the light spots to the darkest 1017 01:06:15,100 --> 01:06:19,960 part of his skin, but then it became so extensive that we had to go with the 1018 01:06:19,960 --> 01:06:24,040 lighter part of his skin because his whole body was reacting. He'd have to be 1019 01:06:24,040 --> 01:06:28,640 in complete, full body makeup every inch of his body. 1020 01:06:29,480 --> 01:06:35,300 So it was easier to make the transition to him being to the lighter shade that 1021 01:06:35,300 --> 01:06:35,919 he is. 1022 01:06:35,920 --> 01:06:41,580 But for Michael, one of the most painful side effects of vitiligo is the reminder 1023 01:06:41,580 --> 01:06:45,900 of the earlier skin trauma that humiliated him as a child. 1024 01:06:46,660 --> 01:06:52,980 You talked about how when you went through adolescence, you had a terrible 1025 01:06:52,980 --> 01:06:57,460 time. And in fact, I had a look at some pictures of you. 1026 01:06:57,790 --> 01:06:58,790 During that period. 1027 01:06:59,490 --> 01:07:01,550 And you did have a lot of spots. 1028 01:07:02,070 --> 01:07:03,070 Yeah. 1029 01:07:04,650 --> 01:07:09,730 Yeah. And being shy as I am and was, it's even worse. 1030 01:07:10,030 --> 01:07:12,850 It's terrible. It's like a disease. 1031 01:07:13,390 --> 01:07:16,910 Perhaps the most startling omission regarding Michael's history of plastic 1032 01:07:16,910 --> 01:07:21,630 surgery came during a discussion of the procedures that Michael admits to 1033 01:07:21,630 --> 01:07:22,630 having. 1034 01:07:22,710 --> 01:07:26,470 You're saying you've only ever had one piece of surgery on your nose? 1035 01:07:28,020 --> 01:07:29,340 Two. You've had two? 1036 01:07:29,980 --> 01:07:33,160 This is where the TV show stops. 1037 01:07:33,540 --> 01:07:37,800 But had they included Michael's answer from just ten seconds earlier, they 1038 01:07:37,800 --> 01:07:41,640 would have allowed him to remind us of a serious injury that severely affected 1039 01:07:41,640 --> 01:07:42,640 his appearance. 1040 01:07:43,880 --> 01:07:46,860 No, no, no. I was severely burned. Yeah. 1041 01:07:47,280 --> 01:07:50,640 But apart from having that surgery because of obviously the injury of the 1042 01:07:50,640 --> 01:07:51,640 fire. 1043 01:07:53,390 --> 01:07:55,490 January 27, 1984. 1044 01:07:56,010 --> 01:07:59,170 Michael was shooting a commercial that attempted to duplicate a concert 1045 01:07:59,170 --> 01:08:00,170 performance. 1046 01:08:07,690 --> 01:08:12,650 During the last take, a planned pyrotechnic explosion went wrong and 1047 01:08:12,650 --> 01:08:14,330 ignited Michael's hair on fire. 1048 01:08:18,109 --> 01:08:19,990 He was so badly burned. 1049 01:08:20,430 --> 01:08:24,910 On the top of his head caught fire right in front of my eyes. 1050 01:08:25,149 --> 01:08:28,649 And I couldn't do anything about it. I couldn't get to him on time. 1051 01:08:37,370 --> 01:08:44,350 But Miko, Marlon Brando's son, was able to push away the barricades and jump 1052 01:08:44,350 --> 01:08:46,850 on him and put out the fire with his bare hands. 1053 01:08:47,760 --> 01:08:51,620 He will have nursing and medical personnel on call 24 hours a day. 1054 01:08:52,120 --> 01:08:56,140 Due to his very excellent health and his very strong personal and religious 1055 01:08:56,140 --> 01:08:59,920 commitments, he will have as excellent a recovery as is possible. 1056 01:09:00,600 --> 01:09:04,060 Michael was rushed to the hospital, where he was treated for second and 1057 01:09:04,060 --> 01:09:05,060 third degree burns. 1058 01:09:05,359 --> 01:09:09,520 He later underwent skin graft surgery in an attempt to repair the damage. 1059 01:09:10,399 --> 01:09:15,680 But as we noted, as severe as this incident was, it was completely ignored 1060 01:09:15,680 --> 01:09:16,680 by Bashir. 1061 01:09:16,970 --> 01:09:17,970 You've done nothing to your cheek? 1062 01:09:18,689 --> 01:09:21,069 Uh, no, no, no. 1063 01:09:21,290 --> 01:09:22,290 These cheekbones? 1064 01:09:22,330 --> 01:09:23,330 Yeah. Oh. 1065 01:09:23,490 --> 01:09:24,750 You haven't had any inserts? 1066 01:09:25,069 --> 01:09:26,069 No. 1067 01:09:26,450 --> 01:09:29,810 My father had... What about your dental? 1068 01:09:30,050 --> 01:09:32,910 Can we get on with plastic surgery, garbage? 1069 01:09:33,170 --> 01:09:38,130 It's tabloid stuff. Well... You'll be young. I know. Well, I know the problem 1070 01:09:38,130 --> 01:09:42,590 is... It's tabloid. When we return, we'll take another look at some of the 1071 01:09:42,590 --> 01:09:44,250 answers that were never heard. 1072 01:09:44,529 --> 01:09:45,870 They call me weird overnight. 1073 01:09:46,940 --> 01:09:52,020 strange, wacko, you know, they said I'm a girl, homosexual, 1074 01:09:52,700 --> 01:09:59,020 he wants to bite elephant man bones, he sleeps in a hyperbaric chamber. None of 1075 01:09:59,020 --> 01:10:00,020 that stuff is true. 1076 01:10:00,100 --> 01:10:02,060 And some of the differences in opinion. 1077 01:10:02,360 --> 01:10:03,440 So you're happy you did it now? 1078 01:10:03,680 --> 01:10:07,080 Yeah, because I've shared... Even though you've been attacked, even though people 1079 01:10:07,080 --> 01:10:09,520 in America say you shouldn't look after your own children? 1080 01:10:09,820 --> 01:10:14,260 Yeah, but a lot of people said, leave him alone, shut the hell up. 1081 01:10:14,800 --> 01:10:19,600 All caught on Michael Jackson's own camera. 1082 01:10:23,460 --> 01:10:28,700 When we return to the Michael Jackson interview, the footage you were never 1083 01:10:28,700 --> 01:10:29,700 meant to see. 1084 01:11:07,660 --> 01:11:10,320 One of the basic qualities of respected journalism is objectivity. 1085 01:11:10,560 --> 01:11:14,000 Now, as you may have heard in several recent news stories, one of Michael 1086 01:11:14,000 --> 01:11:17,640 Jackson's prime complaints about the reporting featured in Martin Bashir's 1087 01:11:17,640 --> 01:11:21,780 documentary and subsequent interviews with the press was his lack of 1088 01:11:21,780 --> 01:11:26,880 objectivity. As we've already seen, some of Mr. Bashir's comments that made the 1089 01:11:26,880 --> 01:11:31,180 air appear to be quite different than opinions he expressed in Jackson's 1090 01:11:31,180 --> 01:11:32,180 behind-the-scenes footage. 1091 01:11:33,040 --> 01:11:37,080 About Michael's ranch, Mr. Bashir's on-air comment was... 1092 01:11:37,770 --> 01:11:40,950 One of the most disturbing things is the fact that a lot of disadvantaged 1093 01:11:40,950 --> 01:11:45,530 children go to Neverland. It's a dangerous place for a vulnerable child 1094 01:11:45,530 --> 01:11:46,530 to be. 1095 01:11:46,870 --> 01:11:49,730 But what he said behind the scenes was this. 1096 01:11:53,870 --> 01:12:00,450 This comment about 1097 01:12:00,450 --> 01:12:03,970 Michael's method of raising children was included on Bashir's special. 1098 01:12:04,950 --> 01:12:06,070 They are restricted. 1099 01:12:06,540 --> 01:12:07,600 They are overly protected. 1100 01:12:07,880 --> 01:12:11,560 I was angry at the way his children were made to suffer. 1101 01:12:11,980 --> 01:12:13,620 But this was not. 1102 01:12:14,080 --> 01:12:16,520 Your relationship with your children is spectacular. 1103 01:12:17,100 --> 01:12:18,100 Hello. 1104 01:12:18,820 --> 01:12:22,400 And in fact, it almost makes me weep when I see you with them. 1105 01:12:22,740 --> 01:12:27,500 Another of Jackson's complaints about the documentary is the non-inclusion of 1106 01:12:27,500 --> 01:12:30,960 certain statements that he feels are pertinent to objective reporting. 1107 01:12:31,240 --> 01:12:35,680 Like when Bashir devoted almost... Eight minutes to the abuse by Michael's 1108 01:12:35,680 --> 01:12:38,580 father? You remember when you said to me that you just wanted to run away from 1109 01:12:38,580 --> 01:12:39,539 your father? 1110 01:12:39,540 --> 01:12:40,540 I did. 1111 01:12:40,580 --> 01:12:41,580 I did not hide. 1112 01:12:41,880 --> 01:12:45,100 But did not include this short and revealing comment. 1113 01:12:45,460 --> 01:12:49,420 He hurt me when he was little, but he's a genius. The man is a genius. 1114 01:12:50,600 --> 01:12:55,840 On Michael's taking his children to the zoo, Bashir says it was no kind of trip 1115 01:12:55,840 --> 01:12:59,660 for two young children, and everyone could see it but Jackson himself. 1116 01:13:00,060 --> 01:13:02,810 But what you don't hear... is Michael's response. 1117 01:13:05,670 --> 01:13:12,390 And as far as 1118 01:13:12,390 --> 01:13:16,470 probing for the truth about Michael's changing appearance, the subject of 1119 01:13:16,470 --> 01:13:18,470 vitiligo was virtually ignored. 1120 01:13:18,770 --> 01:13:24,770 And the severe burns and reconstructive surgery were never mentioned at all. 1121 01:13:30,150 --> 01:13:34,510 Regardless of whether you feel that Michael Jackson is correct in his 1122 01:13:34,510 --> 01:13:37,350 assertion that Martin Bashir's documentary was not a true 1123 01:13:37,350 --> 01:13:41,150 representation of the interviews that actually took place, there is one 1124 01:13:41,150 --> 01:13:43,050 question that many people share. 1125 01:13:43,310 --> 01:13:48,410 How could Michael Jackson, a 44-year-old man who has spent most of his life in 1126 01:13:48,410 --> 01:13:52,210 the spotlight, have allowed himself to open up to a virtual stranger? 1127 01:13:52,570 --> 01:13:54,270 This footage from Michael's camera. 1128 01:13:54,680 --> 01:13:56,100 may give you a better understanding. 1129 01:14:00,320 --> 01:14:05,540 It seems to me that through history, people, 1130 01:14:05,700 --> 01:14:11,540 they really want to make someone big, and they want to be, oh, this person is 1131 01:14:11,540 --> 01:14:14,500 so talented, and we've got to make them godlike, and they have to be perfect. 1132 01:14:15,160 --> 01:14:20,180 And then as soon as they're there, they get more joy in tearing someone down. 1133 01:14:21,740 --> 01:14:26,140 Eventually, when you talk and you say it like it really is, you just light up. 1134 01:14:27,160 --> 01:14:28,160 That's what I meant. 1135 01:14:28,360 --> 01:14:30,520 It's about bringing out what you're about. 1136 01:14:31,540 --> 01:14:38,440 That whole special, it was just an attempt to tear him 1137 01:14:38,440 --> 01:14:43,260 apart. And he trusted. He trusted Martin Beshear. 1138 01:14:44,320 --> 01:14:48,560 They took this thing back to the studio, and they took a lot of things out. 1139 01:14:49,520 --> 01:14:53,460 And the way this thing was narrated, it was just not fair. 1140 01:14:56,180 --> 01:14:56,780 And 1141 01:14:56,780 --> 01:15:07,420 then 1142 01:15:07,420 --> 01:15:14,060 slowly he started bringing his own opinion into the picture. 1143 01:15:14,640 --> 01:15:18,480 As a reporter, as a news, I like to see the truth. 1144 01:15:18,960 --> 01:15:21,800 Then I'll decide what my take would be on it. 1145 01:15:22,820 --> 01:15:28,440 It's not just you, though.
