0:31
Mugen, part three. We're on
0:33
this epic journey now. We've
0:35
gone through expert
0:38
in armed robberies, heists in
0:40
Liverpool. Top
0:43
of his game as a butler in
0:45
Hollywood for the biggest names in the
0:47
universe. That's the
0:49
bit where we're at right now. We
0:53
just ended up where, you
0:55
know, Terry's been kicking it with Muhammad Ali in the
0:57
gym. He
1:02
was the butler for Frederick Wiseman was where we
1:04
left off in Beverly Hills. The guy just bought
1:07
a hundred million dollar painting.
1:09
Picasso. Picasso. What was it? Yeah.
1:12
I love Picasso. Which one was it? Mother and
1:14
Child. Mother and Child. Before
1:18
that, you're a butler for Merv Griffin and
1:20
for Clint E. Stutt. All
1:24
right. So yeah, you're going to now meet
1:27
the owners of the Kahala Hilton.
1:30
Yes. Go for it. So after we
1:32
left, we'd left Wiseman's.
1:34
I mean, next venture was obviously I got
1:38
a call from the International Agency. I'm
1:40
very placeable. From
1:43
my experiences, this particular
1:45
home was in
1:49
a place called Truesdale Estates, where
1:52
Richard Nixon, the former president, had
1:54
done a deal with the land
1:56
developers and all the movie stars moved
1:58
in here like the deal. Martin and
2:01
there's a lot of them in there. And
2:05
this home was the
2:07
former home of Elvis Presley and
2:11
I was assigned to the house to
2:13
be interviewed by the secretary. Mr. Weinberg
2:17
was absent. He was in, he owned
2:20
half of Hawaii and
2:22
he was the owner of the Cara
2:25
Hala Hilton in Hawaii where Ronald Reagan,
2:28
Princess Diane, that's where the abode would
2:31
be when they stayed in Hawaii. And
2:37
that's who they were. So this
2:39
home was nested in
2:41
the hills of Truesdale Estates. I
2:45
arrived early in the morning and
2:47
I'm getting interviewed by the secretary. What
2:52
the job came consisted of was a
2:55
major dormo. A
2:57
major dormo is a man that
2:59
is above a butler and he
3:01
takes care of the chef and the whole house and
3:04
he has to be in tip-top shape. He
3:07
has the responsibilities of the butler,
3:09
the chef, the maids, everything.
3:11
I thought it
3:13
was very unusual that I hadn't met Mrs.
3:16
Weinberg on the interview and
3:20
it was a difficult home. I
3:22
didn't know who'd been there before and
3:25
now later on in my life I know why they
3:27
probably couldn't have lasted. Anyway,
3:33
they proposed to give me the job and
3:35
I took it. Everything to me was
3:37
a challenge. I
3:40
would just go straight in and blast
3:42
them and okay, I'll do it. And
3:45
I moved
3:47
in and
3:51
my house
3:54
where I lived was next
3:56
to the garage. bedroom
4:00
house but it had drained the garage.
4:03
The butler was down the lane
4:05
from me, well down the aisle and
4:09
then you had
4:11
the chef, we put him on the grounds in
4:13
the pool house. I did him a favour.
4:15
He came from the Four Seasons and I
4:17
did him a favour by giving him the job. So
4:20
it starts and we're running the home
4:24
and the next
4:26
day I got introduced to
4:30
meet Mrs. Weinberg. The
4:32
house was very unusual. When
4:35
I walked down the corridor it was like it was
4:39
out of the movie The Shining and
4:42
all these lamps on the side,
4:44
little chandeliers and it was
4:46
dim at night and very weary and
4:49
at the end of the corridor was
4:51
this massive brown doors and
4:56
anyway I got taken into them and
4:58
there she was sitting in the bed in the
5:01
corner, this massive beautiful
5:03
room that you wouldn't even know
5:06
was there and she was
5:09
sitting upright and
5:13
she had pale skin, she
5:16
had red hair and a
5:18
violet nightgown on and
5:22
I thought it was something out of a movie and
5:25
the first thing she goes, hello are you
5:27
the butler, are you the major
5:29
domo and I went hello Mrs.
5:32
Weinberg, how are you and
5:35
she went you've had too much
5:37
fucking son because I was
5:39
over you know at the beach and that on my days off, you've
5:43
had too much fucking son and I'm
5:45
looking at her going oh my god. Next
5:47
thing I started talking to her
5:50
getting to know her a little bit and she
5:52
goes how's that fucking chef, what's
5:56
he like? I said he's brilliant, he
5:58
said he come from the Four Seasons. and she
6:00
went, you're not as good as our chef's up
6:03
at Cahalla Hilton in Hawaii. Oh
6:07
my god. Anyway,
6:09
settle down and
6:12
what you do, she'd come out at night. The
6:15
job was easy, we were doing like all the
6:17
silver. We had the butler's pantry and
6:20
my objective was the Rolls Royce to
6:23
clean it and take it for the drive to
6:25
get out of the house. So
6:28
the butler was nice, the chef was nice and he'd come
6:30
up with all these dishes but she didn't like it. She
6:34
never liked his food and she
6:36
picked on him and I
6:38
was thinking there's something wrong here in the house and then
6:41
the other butler, they'd be near
6:43
the wild, they were from Dublin, the
6:46
lovely people and
6:48
they used to give
6:50
me innuendos and go, you know, she's
6:52
crazy. So we'd get
6:55
into it and after a
6:57
few weeks she was nice and I was calming
6:59
her down and the
7:02
work was like, you know, you had to polish
7:04
these floors and
7:06
the silver. They had silver from Ascot here,
7:09
the Ascot cup they had, the horse
7:11
racing and it had to be
7:13
cleaned every week and we had special
7:16
polish to clean it with
7:18
white gloves and then sometimes
7:20
we'd have these dinner parties at night in
7:23
a big round table and you had to save them
7:25
in white clubs and we'd
7:27
be in the kitchen and the bell would go,
7:29
did you have a bell? She'd have a bell. We
7:32
want this, we want that, bring us this,
7:34
bring us that and the chef was doing
7:36
a good job. I
7:38
thought this is funny this, this is
7:40
just my sense of humour from Liverpool. I used to
7:42
just go, this is brilliant but I was
7:44
laughing at them all and
7:47
then all of a sudden, boom,
7:51
one morning I
7:55
wake up at four in the morning and
7:58
there's smoke coming. down
8:01
the corridor. I'm
8:04
going what the hell is that? I had
8:07
to smell it so I got
8:10
up and I could hear the
8:12
rumbling of the car
8:14
in the garage and I thought someone
8:16
is stealing it someone stealing
8:18
the car and I thought
8:20
to myself well hang on a
8:22
minute I'll go out the front of the house and I'll
8:25
go down the back and I had a key and put
8:27
a key in the garage and I opened it and all
8:29
the smoke hit me. The
8:31
smoke hits me and I go
8:33
what's this? The car is on fire and I
8:35
think it's got a short in the back of
8:37
these something like that. Next thing
8:39
I looked and
8:42
I looked down at the car and I seen
8:44
the bottom of it and the exhaust had
8:46
a pipe in it and the
8:48
pipe was going into the car and
8:52
I went hold on a minute
8:55
and the looks and there she is in
8:57
the car with the pipe in her mouth and
9:01
I couldn't believe it. So I
9:03
dragged her out there's smokes everywhere
9:06
I'm coughing like you know and
9:08
the first thing I do I call the police and
9:12
I news that he was shooting me on but I didn't know it was
9:14
this drastic. I close the police
9:17
in LA the police come
9:19
in an ambulance and they all come together the
9:21
paramedics and they come it's
9:24
like now it's about 4.30 to get
9:27
there they give them CPR
9:29
oxygen she's alive she
9:32
starts coughing but
9:34
they knew her she tried to
9:36
do something before and
9:39
then what happened
9:42
was they added on
9:44
the gamey and one
9:46
of the paramedics in the car comes
9:48
to me and they got my details
9:50
and if you've experienced I said no.
9:55
So she's on the gamey and she's got the oxygen on
9:57
and the cop said to me and she said no.
10:00
taking the notes and the statements. Can
10:02
you tell me how old Mrs Weinberg is? And
10:07
I said, I think she's 43. And
10:10
she takes the mask off and she goes, 44! And
10:13
I went, oh my God. Oh,
10:16
you lunatic. And
10:18
you're putting, you're doing this to us. We
10:21
were subject to this, what
10:23
we would see. So
10:25
we took her to the hospital. I said,
10:27
the chef and that. And I kept her quiet. I
10:31
said, she's gone to the hospital. And I didn't say nothing to the
10:33
chef. I just said, can you do some
10:36
bacon and eggs and that and give us some added juice.
10:38
And I just sat there with the other butler and
10:40
that. So the other butler, he said, I can't
10:42
take it. So
10:45
we went to the doctor
10:47
and the doctor advised them to quit the job. So
10:50
they quit. But she was in the hospital. She's
10:53
calling me from the hospital from seeing the
10:55
Sinai Medical Center, from the hospital. I
10:57
said, what's the chef cooking me tonight? Are
11:01
you bringing her over to me? And I'm going, well don't you get fed
11:03
in the hospital? So
11:05
she and I sat in the hospital. It's
11:07
one of the best hospitals in the world. So I said, what do you
11:10
want? She went home to Nate Niles on
11:12
Beverly Drive, she said. And
11:15
kept me some lox and salmon. I
11:18
thought, okay. So I
11:20
kept the rolls right over and I called to the
11:22
hospital. I'm going to see
11:24
the signing. She's in the psychiatric ward. I'm
11:27
taking them in. I'm taking
11:30
them into the ward. Just unbelievable. It's
11:33
the scouter from Liverpool. I
11:35
mean, see the Sinai Medical Center. I'm
11:37
taking Baker and Lux to a Jew. It
11:39
was nuts. And she went, thank you, Terry. And
11:43
then one night, she'd be nice
11:45
to me and then she'd be going, I make sure you
11:47
stay out to sun. It was absolutely bananas. And
11:50
I was like, I'm going to go to the hospital. She'd be nice to me
11:52
and I'd be like, I'm going to be going to shoot. And then she'd be nice
11:54
to me and I'd go, oh, oh. It was absolutely bananas.
11:57
So she stayed in there a while. reason
12:00
she didn't like the chef. So
12:03
what personality was the chef? He
12:05
was a American. He was gay. He was gay and you
12:08
know what you know obviously
12:10
you know when you know he's gay but I didn't judge
12:12
him I didn't mind because he was
12:15
a good kid he was just making a living that's
12:17
all he was doing so I
12:19
decided to I just
12:21
got along with it you know and I
12:23
was making good money and I just kept
12:26
you know I just went along
12:28
with it and so
12:30
she came home one night she come in the
12:32
kitchen and the chef was you know
12:34
he was down by the pool and he
12:36
had a little dog and
12:38
the dog used to bark so
12:41
she got everything out the fridge and she threw
12:43
it all over the kitchen the
12:47
whole lot I came out in the morning
12:51
all the food the milk had been poured all
12:53
over the kitchen on marble one
12:55
of the most beautiful kitchens you've ever seen and
12:58
I looked at it and I went oh
13:01
my god I
13:04
mean the chef we just cleaned it up and
13:06
she was going bananas so the chef come in
13:08
and by one o'clock and he
13:10
said to me I'm getting out of here
13:13
Teddy I'm done and
13:16
he left me and he just
13:18
pissed off he didn't even get paid it
13:24
wasn't worth it so I'm left I'm
13:26
left there I mean and
13:29
it's Elvis's old house and I'd
13:31
had some beautiful parties there because Elvis used to
13:33
fly all the all the hula dancers
13:35
in from Hawaii I believe in the day and
13:38
it was unbelievable I got told periodically
13:41
mr. Weinberg would come back home and I'd
13:44
save him I'd save
13:46
him Philly Mignon and I'd do him lovely
13:48
meals me and the chef and
13:50
that really lovely gentleman man but
13:53
he's only stable and nice because
13:55
she's just I'd hear them arguing in the
13:57
room and she'd get his closet and
14:00
she'd take all her suits and she'd
14:02
dump them in the corridor and
14:05
she went, you can fuck off, you can get back
14:07
to Hawaii. I don't want you in this home. And
14:09
I was like, oh, my God. She'd go, Teddy,
14:12
what's on my dinner? And I'd
14:14
go, OK, we've got you something nice.
14:16
It was absolutely unbelievable. And what it
14:18
reminded me of, it reminded me of
14:20
the cuckoo's nest. You
14:23
know, the cuckoo's nest that was done in 75. It
14:27
was just like that. So
14:30
I stayed and I was the only one there. And
14:33
I just carried on during the day and I thought, well, you
14:35
know, my time's coming to an end. And
14:40
I didn't know that she had a gun in
14:43
the bedroom. Yeah,
14:49
she had a mental woman in Clusdale
14:53
Estate in Beverly Hills had
14:55
access to a gun. So
15:04
this morning I got up and
15:07
I didn't hear from her. And
15:11
it was very hard. You
15:14
know, I was more compassionate because, you know, coming
15:16
from Liverpool, what we've seen and what I've gone
15:18
through in my life. You
15:20
know, we've had more empathy for people, you know, because
15:23
we've come from a close area where,
15:25
you know, we've always helped each other.
15:28
And I always felt that way. And
15:31
this morning. I
15:34
knew there was something wrong this day. Something
15:37
weird was going to happen. Anyway.
15:43
She was OK. I got her some lunch. I
15:45
did a tuna fish sandwich for her with
15:48
a pickle and coffee.
15:51
And I took her into the room and.
15:55
I looked at her and I thought, she's not
15:57
well. So
16:01
I asked her what she wanted that evening and
16:04
she always said salmon and lox. And
16:11
I was very uneasy this day, there was something
16:13
going to happen really bad. I
16:18
prepared the tray and
16:20
as I was walking down it was like as I say
16:22
the movie out to shining and
16:28
the gun went off. Did you hear it? Yeah,
16:33
the gun went off and
16:36
I knew and
16:39
that was the end. Did
16:41
you find them? I
16:43
was a bit scared, I could end up
16:45
going to the room at the time and
16:49
but I thought at the time that if
16:52
I call the police there's going to be
16:54
a big investigation and
16:59
it cost me minds to think that they
17:01
might be accusing me. So
17:05
I sort of went in and I
17:07
didn't go in but
17:09
I knew. So
17:11
what I did is I went to the
17:14
kitchen and I called the police and
17:17
they knew. And
17:21
it was sad and
17:23
then my life was, so
17:25
when I looked at the chap, I looked at the
17:27
chap that in the booth, the Weinberg tragedy and
17:30
that gives more detail about
17:32
it. So I decided
17:35
to, I was on my
17:37
way back then. The
17:40
butler was on the move again. Max
17:42
Factor? Yeah, so
17:44
I got me stuff, the police came, the
17:46
homicide came, they had done a big investigation
17:48
and the police had asked me but they
17:50
knew what was going on and
17:53
they took my phone number and
17:56
Mr Weinberg was in. He
18:00
was in my way and
18:02
that was the end of it. That was at the
18:04
end of Mrs Weinberg. It was expected.
18:07
Yeah, it was. It was very sad. I'd
18:10
never thought I'd be in this position to that
18:13
I was a major terminal. Yeah,
18:16
so I took a few weeks off, went
18:19
down the beach, went back in the gym, seen
18:22
Jimmy, done some training
18:25
and I was getting cold every day. And
18:28
I'd run up from Santa Monica to Venice and
18:30
then I'd run up to Malibu just
18:33
to get it all out of my mind. And
18:36
I got a call. Teddy,
18:41
there's a beautiful gentleman. He'd
18:43
like you to come to his home.
18:47
I said, but let me come up to the agency. Okay,
18:50
so I got dressed up as usual in me suit
18:52
and I went to the agency and
18:55
I sat with her. And I didn't say
18:57
nothing about the Weinbergs because she
18:59
knew he did not say anything.
19:04
It wasn't the Guardian in London, the
19:06
news. My brother would call me and said
19:08
to me, it was since
19:11
then, I think they've erased it all
19:13
from the record and the Beverly Hills police.
19:17
And I just carried on. So
19:20
I went to see Dora and she said, I've
19:22
got a lovely job for you in Beverly Glen. And
19:24
I said, okay. So
19:27
I got back in the swing, I got back in the swing and
19:30
it was for a gentleman called Max Factor. And
19:33
the mogul makeup man. And
19:36
it was Max Factor's union. Yeah.
19:38
I used to use Max Factor also.
19:40
Yeah, he was great. So
19:42
he goes to his house and he's an older gentleman.
19:45
And he had his
19:48
nurses 24 hours taking care of him because
19:50
he was getting on a bit. So
19:53
he liked me being around because I was young. And
20:00
But before that I had another interview
20:02
with the director of
20:04
Lethal Weapon. I
20:06
had an interview with him and
20:09
I had met the butler in his
20:11
house. His name
20:13
was Richard Donner. He
20:16
directed the movie with Mel Gibson and
20:18
I had been to his house before Max Factor's and
20:21
it was up in Hollywood Hills and
20:26
he wanted me to come away from him but
20:28
I didn't like the situation and I always remember
20:30
he had guns in the home. So
20:34
anyway I took the position with Mr Factor because
20:37
I found it more informal. Takes
20:39
the position with him. Drives
20:41
him every day, some Malibu
20:44
in a blue gold toys. Takes
20:46
him out. Takes him everywhere with me in
20:50
the afternoon. I'd sit with him in that afternoon seat.
20:53
It was more like a companion than a butler. When
20:56
the nurses were like, you know, they were nice. But
20:59
they had a family, they
21:01
were Russian Jews as well and
21:03
some of the families
21:05
converted from being
21:08
Jews to Catholics or Protestants because
21:11
they come and stay
21:14
their daughters and they tell
21:16
me. I always remember one
21:18
incident, it was his birthday and
21:22
I took him down to the shoe that I was where
21:25
I used to wear and
21:27
I took him in
21:30
and the baker then was my
21:32
brother-in-law David McNally. He
21:34
took Alan's position up because Alan got deported
21:38
and we
21:40
gave him sausage rolls and steak
21:43
and kidney pie and he wouldn't
21:45
stop eating but from seeing this sign
21:48
in medical centre. We
21:50
had a nutrition diet and we had
21:52
to keep to the guidelines and we had to keep
21:54
to his weight at 165. So every
21:57
morning we weighed him. was
22:00
£10 over waste because
22:02
I used to feed them and just take them out and
22:04
make them happy.
22:08
And then the
22:10
nurses would say, is £10 over? I said no, you just got
22:12
the reading wrong. It's £163, £167,
22:15
it's not £175. Okay, did you get it? And
22:17
she'd go, okay, I've
22:23
got it. And it was nice. But
22:26
we had this, one of the sources,
22:28
Barbara, would come over and
22:31
she was the iron whip. She
22:33
cracked the whip on the nurses
22:36
and they felt very uncomfortable with her.
22:40
So she pulled up on this big jaguar, this
22:42
British jaguar that he'd had made and everything
22:44
had to be British, you know, the Bentley,
22:47
the jaguar and this
22:49
day. So I caught her
22:51
in the corner and she was smoking. And
22:56
she got off the car and she went in the corner and
22:58
she was smoking a cigarette. So what I decided to do was
23:00
I just went out and
23:03
I said to her, good morning, Mrs Bentley. I
23:06
said, can I have a cigarette? And
23:09
she went, you smoked, Harry. I went,
23:11
yeah, I'll have a ciggy. I
23:14
didn't smoke, but I just wanted to play
23:16
this game with her. So she gave
23:18
me a cigarette and then she's
23:20
standing in front of me. So she's got to finish
23:22
the cigarette with me. So what's she going to do?
23:25
She's got to talk to me. So
23:27
I built this rapport with her and I'd
23:29
asked her, have you ever been to England and have you ever been
23:31
here and all that? Because you couldn't get near there. And
23:34
she was the hair to the throne of the Max Factor family.
23:37
The family, yeah, all the kids, weird
23:40
billions. So
23:42
I decided to have the cigarette and
23:44
I said to her, you know, knowing
23:47
you come over here, you know, the
23:50
household's great and your father's happy. He's
23:52
under the guidelines of the hospital.
23:54
Everything's brilliant. And
23:57
she said, his birthday's coming up,
23:59
you know, Terry. What
24:01
are you going to do? I said, well, just
24:04
leave it to me, I'll do all English style. I
24:06
said, I can do an English trifle, I
24:09
can do a souffle, a chocolate souffle,
24:11
and I can do salmon
24:14
and cucumber sandwiches
24:17
and I'll set the table beautiful but white
24:19
roses, pink roses and I said, you can
24:21
invite all the family. I said,
24:23
well, did you do me one condition? When
24:25
you back off the nayses and
24:28
I'd like you to teach them
24:31
and with respect, teach them actually,
24:34
have respect for them because they
24:36
feel uncomfortable. They're only
24:38
human beings and they're looking after the golden
24:40
man. That's what they're doing, that's what
24:42
they're for. Without her you wouldn't have no one and
24:45
she said, tell her I will, I'm
24:48
sorry if I've offended them
24:50
because she was and she really
24:53
respected me. Anyway,
24:56
this party came and
25:00
I'd done the table beautiful and set
25:02
it so beautifully, the QE2. I put
25:06
champagne on the tables but it
25:08
was non-alcoholic, pink and
25:10
white and we had this beautiful party
25:14
and it was absolutely, all the family
25:16
came, about 25 of them and
25:19
she was very proud of it. She
25:21
brought the way you set the table because that's the way you
25:23
set it on the QE2, very
25:26
formal and all the silver service.
25:29
So when it was finished that night, he
25:32
come round and helped me wife. She was helping with
25:34
me. She always came in to
25:37
help me and
25:39
he came round and he shuffled round the living room at
25:41
night to get some exercise with the nurse and
25:44
he took an envelope out, there
25:46
was a pocket and he gave it to me
25:49
and it was a $2000 tip and
25:53
I never looked at it, I
25:55
just took him and I said thank
25:57
you Mr Factor and I put
25:59
it in my pocket. and later on
26:01
I counted it was two grand and
26:04
I just carried on with the job and then a few
26:07
months later my
26:11
sister was coming from England,
26:13
the UK to visit and
26:20
I gave her the address of
26:22
my place to put down
26:25
on 4th Street in Santa Monica. So
26:29
she comes to the immigrant immigration and she
26:31
gets stopped by
26:33
the immigration and
26:38
they stop her and they say
26:40
where are you going and
26:43
they find the address with
26:47
my phone number. Next
26:49
thing she had the phone
26:52
number at Fachter's house, I
26:55
gave her that number as well because I could answer
26:57
the phone. I was the one that
26:59
answered the phone all the time at the household because then
27:01
I knew she was coming in and I
27:03
was going to go and when I finished work I
27:05
was going to pick her up. So
27:10
she was coming in and
27:12
she got stopped and
27:17
the phone went, we
27:19
had done fish. I always remember
27:21
what I gave him, it was orange roughy and
27:24
I had done a cucumber salad and he
27:27
had some cranberry juice and
27:29
a chocolate mousse that
27:32
evening and the phone went
27:34
and I picked the phone and I went hello can I help
27:36
you the Max Fachter residence and
27:39
this guy said hello this is the
27:41
United States immigration and
27:43
I want to speak to Teddy Mugen and
27:46
I went yes speaking. He
27:48
said we would like you to come down to the immigration.
27:52
I said where? He said to the
27:55
Los Angeles airport. She had an old and
27:57
new sister. we
28:00
know that you're illegal. And
28:03
I went like that. I
28:08
just put the phone down, goes
28:10
in, me
28:13
living quarters, packed the case, packed
28:16
it all, got
28:19
in my car and left without
28:21
saying goodbye to Mr Factor. Went
28:25
down to my apartment, sent to Monica,
28:27
got a net and we had to
28:30
move to a hotel for
28:32
two weeks till the dog whitened down. Went
28:37
back to Factor's, he was bluffing me,
28:40
the immigration officer. I found out then
28:42
by law that was against the law
28:44
to go to a private residence.
28:47
He was bluffing me. He
28:50
bluffed me. So
28:52
I had to leave. A few
28:54
weeks later I moved back in the
28:56
apartments. They let me sit in and they're giving
28:58
the immigration officer here in
29:00
Los Angeles. I said don't go, just
29:03
fly back to England. Don't put up with all this shit
29:05
here. And
29:08
I proceeded on. And
29:12
went back to the house of Factor's and
29:14
he was very upset with me. And
29:17
he said I would have sponsored you Terry. I'll
29:20
get your ticket in cards. And
29:23
then I just
29:26
left and then I was back to
29:28
the agency again then. I
29:30
was back at the agency and
29:32
then I went back to the agency and
29:38
there was a job come up for
29:40
the A-list actor. There
29:43
was a few of them came up. Tom Bosley came up. Steven
29:47
Spielberg came up. Mickey
29:49
Rooney came up. And
29:52
I'd actually gone to,
29:54
I went to
29:56
Spielberg and
29:58
done an interview with him. at
30:01
his studios and
30:03
I didn't like his behaviour, the
30:05
way he was behaving. He
30:08
had some parrots in the kitchen and he said
30:10
to me these parrots are more important
30:12
than my wife and
30:14
he was managed to work at an actress called Amy Avern at
30:16
the time. He was managed to work and
30:18
I thought you are very active and
30:20
very unusual and well you know you can come to my house
30:23
and you can try it out for the week and see how
30:25
you like it and all that and I just
30:27
looked at him. Parrots are more important
30:29
than his wife. Parrots
30:32
are more important than his wife and he said you have
30:34
to clean the parrots in the cages out every day and
30:36
all that and I said well I am a putler. Strike!
30:41
Tell me something I don't know, Ump. Well,

the back seat, nestering the snack handoff
31:14
without even looking. Why are simple things
31:16
sometimes so complicated? Thankfully with auto owners
31:18
insurance doesn't have to be one of
31:20
them. We work with independent agents who
31:23
live in your community, know you by
31:25
name and answer when you call. They
31:27
keep insurance simple so you can worry
31:29
about more important things like figuring
31:31
out what's growing in that cup holder. That's
31:34
simple human sense. Ask your independent
31:36
agent if auto owners make sense for you. I
31:39
said I'm not a gamekeeper. He
31:41
looks at me so
31:43
I pulled out of that one. I just pulled out
31:46
and then I went up to
31:48
Mickey Rooney, the famous actor in
31:50
Wesley Village. He was just absolutely
31:52
nuts. I don't know part of
31:54
you and then I went back
31:57
and then so this big
31:59
actor came up. I am George
32:01
Siegel. So
32:03
I went to George's home and
32:05
he lived in Bel Air, a beautiful
32:09
place and
32:12
I ghosted him.
32:16
He'd done a movie
32:19
called Virginia Woolf
32:22
with Elizabeth Taylor and he
32:24
was friends as he told me with Richard Burton and
32:27
I told him I took care of him on the QE2. Anyway,
32:31
cut a long story short, he eyes me and his
32:33
home in Bel Air, this beautiful
32:35
home in Bel Air, it was gorgeous. I had
32:37
done living courses, wanted
32:40
to come with the job again, big white
32:42
ball choice and
32:44
a red Austin Martin. So
32:48
George had this garage and he
32:50
had a few sets and then he was doing
32:52
a few movies at the time and
32:54
he'd done a lot of movies and George had
32:56
done The Longest Jay and he'd
32:58
done The Valentine's Massacre and
33:01
The Isle and the Pussycat with Jane Fonda
33:04
and Glenda Jackson, she'd
33:06
run an Oscar with him
33:08
for some MacLac's
33:10
act or something like that.
33:13
Me and George become friends and
33:15
we had this garage and he had all the movies
33:18
in the garage, the posters and I asked him one
33:20
day, I said, can I
33:22
paint the garage? I want to put all your movies up
33:24
for you and
33:26
he went, that would be great and I painted the
33:28
garage for him and I put all the
33:30
movies around the garage and
33:34
he had a lovely wife, Linda and
33:36
she was the manager of the Poynters Sisters.
33:38
Remember the Poynters Sisters? Yeah, she
33:40
was the manager of them and
33:42
he said to me, you'll get up to meet
33:45
a lot of people here Teddy. So
33:47
I just carried on normal and actually the
33:50
quarter of a row, he preferred me to
33:52
live out outside the home.
33:55
So I go home at five o'clock and
33:57
it was a good little job so I don't know.
34:00
the garage for them and
34:04
one day he was
34:06
going to lunch with a friend, another
34:10
actor and
34:12
he never showed up and so
34:15
they had a table booked at
34:17
the Brown's Abbey on Sunset, it
34:19
was on Sunset, all multiple, famous
34:21
restaurants so we decided to
34:24
say what card do you want to judge, no
34:26
one else had to come, Mr Siegel and
34:28
he said just pretend the oster marten, so
34:32
here's me and him, going
34:35
down in the
34:37
oster marten, pair of glasses on, driving
34:39
down Sunset, everyone's looking
34:41
at us, pulls up to
34:43
the Brown's Abbey, gets out
34:46
the car, everyone's staring at the boat of us, this
34:48
old actor, they thought I was an actor and
34:51
we just get out and walks in the restaurants and
34:54
I'm watching everyone and they're all staring at us, it
34:57
was unbelievable and
35:01
came back, come back to the house
35:03
and then in the afternoon I'd
35:06
do them evening meals, I'd leave him and
35:08
his wife evening meals,
35:12
so one particular day he was
35:14
having a party in the garden and
35:17
he gave me a list of actors to pick up and
35:21
he said take the white roll choice
35:23
because it will fit them all in
35:28
and he asked me what are you doing for lunch,
35:31
I said well I'll do an Irish stew, it's
35:34
my mother's recipe, it's about 100 years old
35:38
and he looked at me, really? and he
35:41
said yeah, it's called Scouse
35:45
and he went, really? and
35:48
he said, it's my brother's
35:50
recipe, I used to
35:52
learn it from her when I was a
35:55
kid and so did they
35:57
come, I set the garden and all
35:59
that. and I
36:01
was excited. That's
36:04
the role, so I got the list off him. The
36:08
list had consisted of Bud Yachty,
36:10
famous comedian, always
36:13
during Las Vegas, Burt
36:15
Reynolds. I
36:17
knew where Burt Reynolds lived because I lived next door to him
36:19
in Wiseman's and
36:22
Charles Jern and
36:25
then there was another guy that was going to
36:27
come later that I didn't know, he didn't tell me. Anyway,
36:31
goes down picks Bud Yachty, knocks
36:34
on the door and says, yeah, Mr.
36:36
Seagull's guest today, he comes out, little
36:38
Budy comes out, he's a comedian, funny
36:40
little guy he was. He's always
36:42
on the Johnny Carson show, a lot.
36:45
And he goes, I'm
36:47
picking. I was going, oh, well,
36:49
we must have a gun. Yeah, and I'm
36:52
packing. I pack all the time. Everywhere
36:54
I go, I pack. And
36:56
I'm like that, wow. We'll
36:59
get in. Anyway, get him in the car,
37:01
shut the car. Goes
37:04
over to Burt Reynolds, goes
37:07
to the gate, presses the buzzer. Hello,
37:10
yeah, guest from Mr. George Seagull.
37:13
I'm Shulfer. Burt comes
37:15
out, comes out, Burt
37:17
comes out, he's about six foot two dead handsome, you know.
37:20
Gets in the car, close the car on him, goes
37:23
down to another house on
37:26
just a shift off Roxbury Drive
37:30
and goes to that house. He was
37:33
at the top of Roxbury on Lexington, on
37:36
the corner, and I pulled up there.
37:38
They were all gated areas and it
37:40
was Charles Denon and
37:44
gets him out. I've got to feed him in the back of the
37:46
car and I'm the Shulfer and I'm
37:48
looking at him. I'm clocking him in the back. And
37:51
I'm like, this is brilliant. It's like
37:53
a movie. Gets to the house.
37:56
They all go in the garden, sit down. I've
38:00
got the couch warmed up and
38:02
George is smoking a big cigar.
38:05
Always always smoking a cigar you know when he was
38:07
on the Johnny Carson show smoking
38:10
this big cigar he was unbelievable and
38:13
he made his own mission one
38:16
day to do cocaine and
38:20
thought that was a bit like weird and from to do
38:22
that to the public but they can do
38:24
what they want so he said to me, Terry
38:27
bring the boys in the car do you want to drink and I got them all
38:29
to drink and I'd
38:32
saved them on silver it was always silver
38:34
and nice you know and
38:37
he said, Terry there's gonna be another guy coming
38:40
he'll be in in about half an hour so I'm
38:43
in the kitchen I'm preparing all the
38:45
food and I've done some cabbage
38:48
as well and beetroot with the
38:50
scouse and I've
38:52
got it all ready warmed up and that I've
38:55
got to save on the plate beautiful plates I'll
38:58
take it out next
39:00
thing the doorbell goes goes
39:03
to the door and I open the door
39:08

39:12
I went good afternoon welcome
39:17
I said would you like a drink and he
39:19
said yeah what have you got and I said they're all getting
39:21

39:24
man sure why not so next thing the door went in
39:26
the garden they're all sitting in in the garden and
39:30
gave them the scouse so George
39:32
has got a script he used to
39:34
get these scripts from Hollywood and I'd
39:36
see them in the bathroom and I'd have a
39:38
little look at them and it
39:40
was brilliant so he gets the script and he's
39:43
he's in the garden and he
39:47
gets the script and he gets angry and
39:51
he throws it on the floor and he
39:54
goes in I'm sick of that goddamn baron
39:56
brando you
39:59
know this guy makes so much money every movie
40:02
and I'm like, BOO! He
40:06
said, I shall be making enough. So
40:08
Robert Redford says to him, calm down. And
40:11
I'm watching this. George
40:15
gets a sick eye and he says, not like you George,
40:17
why are you getting upset? And
40:20
I'm just looking at them all in the garden. Shaking
40:23
my head. So anyway, they
40:26
have the scouts. They're all
40:28
sitting there laughing and talking and shite.
40:31
And George comes in the kitchen. And
40:35
I said to him, when
40:39
are you getting upset for? Because
40:41
I was quite close to him. And
40:44
he said, man and brando? I
40:47
said, well, there you go. I said, what an actor. One
40:51
of the greatest, latest actors in the world. And
40:55
he said to me, how
40:57
do you know? Why would you know that?
41:01
I said, well, I'd been to Joan Rivers as
41:03
I was another comedian. And
41:07
while I was working for George and he didn't know, and
41:11
I'd been assigned for six weeks on the weekends.
41:16
And she'd asked me to look
41:19
after George
41:22
Siegel had said to the
41:24
agency, no, we can't go. He's
41:28
under contract with me. I said, I'm under
41:30
no contract. I didn't sign. It's
41:35
called a D. It's
41:38
a contract where
41:41
you sign and you don't show
41:44
any talk
41:46
about nobody. NDA. NDA. Yeah,
41:49
non NDA disclosure. And
41:53
so I said, no, I can do what I want. And
41:55
he knew I was going there because I'd
41:58
said to him in the kitchen. I'd
42:00
actually said to him, Mal
42:03
and Brando, I said I've
42:05
been to John Rivers' house on
42:08
the weekends I go there and I'm
42:10
taking care of Solon and Salivia and
42:12
he told me that Mal and Brando was one
42:14
of the greatest actors that he'd ever seen in his
42:17
life. I said so you
42:19
should be honored to be in that position
42:22
with him, you
42:24
should be honored. I said
42:26
he's unbelievable and
42:29
one question that I'd asked
42:33
Solon and Salivia when I did take care of
42:35
him was who was the
42:37
greatest actor and he
42:39
had mentioned Mal and Brando and
42:42
then me and George got back again and
42:44
they went and were in the garden and
42:48
someone had mentioned about the butler and
42:51
someone said to him wouldn't it
42:53
be beautiful to have a butler in a movie and
42:56
he punches me and he goes there he is there.
43:01
That's him. He's
43:03
been around so
43:06
I looked at him and
43:08
I went yeah
43:10
I'm the butler.
43:12
I'm playing my part on the
43:14
screen but you don't see me. It's
43:18
Oscar performance. Robert
43:22
Redford looked and the moment George
43:26
went I told you should
43:29
have been an actor just
43:31
like that. I just started
43:33
laughing and I'm going fucking
43:35
else the bank robber. I'll do that
43:38
movie first and then the book. Oh
43:40
my god. So next thing I
43:49
stayed with George a while and
43:52
anyway things were getting on top of me but
43:54
I'd always been in touch showing
43:56
with a
43:58
butler Richard Dunnegan. When
44:05
we wake up in the morning, we get
44:07
out of bed and we start our day

on YouTube. Thanks for supporting our sponsor. I'd
45:06
shared an experience with him that
45:09
we would meet at a park below
45:11
Spellen's house, the
45:14
big producer in the Hornby Hills and
45:17
he would drive a maroon rolls Royce and
45:20
I would drive a blue rolls Royce and we'd meet in
45:22
a park because we'd had
45:24
the same interview and I'd met him in
45:26
an agency and we'd cross swords
45:29
in a shop called Gelson's in Century City
45:32
where you do all the shopping for the stars.
45:35
And he was... He asked me to come
45:37
up to the house to Richard Donner's to
45:39
meet Mel Gibson and
45:42
I said, oh you know I'll come up and have a
45:44
cup of tea and that you know. I said I wasn't particularly
45:46
interested because I'd met a few of them. I'd
45:49
met Stallone's butlers, Kevin
45:52
King and Paul Kane. They were
45:54
Stallone's butlers. I've met them years and years
45:56
before this and they were my friends. and
46:00
they told me all about it alone. So
46:03
there's quite a few English buttons, but
46:05
this guy particularly was telling me he
46:08
was so engrossed with his job, we
46:11
had a cup of tea one afternoon, in
46:14
which it dawned us, and
46:17
his wife was going to school
46:20
to be a psychologist, and
46:25
they were leaving the job. So
46:27
what had he decided to do? He
46:30
had decided to take his own life. Yeah.
46:36
And I
46:38
was telling them that I was going to be leaving and going back
46:41
to England, and
46:43
I didn't know at the time how bad it was, and
46:47
I'd only had a few weeks left, I
46:49
was returning because I'd been in touch with
46:51
some solicitors, and they had told
46:53
me to come back at the time. The time could be
46:56
appropriate for me to go back. Anyway,
47:01
I got news from his wife that he'd he'd
47:03
took a gun of Richard Donner's and
47:06
he'd killed himself. He
47:09
shot himself in the home, and
47:11
it was the headlines and all the papers,
47:13
British Butler dies in the movie star's home,
47:16
and produces home Richard Donner. It
47:18
was so sad. What
47:21
had he done? So
47:23
anyway, I ended my relationship with George Siegel.
47:26
Actually, George was moving back
47:28
to New York. He'd got his
47:30
face done. He had a facelift, and
47:33
he was selling the house in Bel Air, and
47:36
they were moving to New York, and
47:39
it was time for me to leave. So
47:42
I'd made an arrangement to fly
47:44
back to England to
47:47
face justice because
47:49
of the pressure. So
47:51
I went to Palm Springs the weekend with my wife,
47:54
and I'd called a solicitor
47:57
in Liverpool. His
47:59
name is Rob Brody. he was a good friend of mine and
48:03
he's passed on now. And
48:05
he said, come on Teddy, just try it, see what you think. I
48:08
said, will you represent me? He went, yeah. So
48:11
we decided to leave Los
48:13
Angeles and I rented
48:15
my apartment out to a friend. I
48:18
said, if I don't come back here and keep it. But
48:22
there's a bit of, I thought I'd
48:24
get about seven years to 10 years at the time. I
48:27
just had this beautiful life in
48:29
California and I'll be going back
48:31
to face 10 years or it could have
48:33
been 15 years. I just wanted
48:36
to get it all the way. So
48:39
we get back to Liverpool, get
48:42
back and go
48:45
to the city center. I
48:50
know everyone, go to
48:52
Sirloises and say, Teddy,
48:54
can I have some coffee with you? He
48:56
says, yeah, all right. Go to it,
48:59
Rob. I understand, he said to me,
49:02
Teddy, you've been away for
49:04
six years. I
49:06
don't think you've got nothing on you. I
49:08
think you'd be exonerated by now. He
49:13
said, I'll make some inquiries. And
49:17
his advice to me was not
49:19
to give myself up. That
49:24
was the advice. So
49:29
I stayed in Liverpool and
49:32
I'd met two of your partners and
49:36
Joey Wright had betrayed the
49:39
both of them. And
49:42
I was outside the outskirts of a home
49:46
and one of them said to me, Teddy,
49:51
will you come in with us? We're
49:54
gonna kill Joey. And
50:00
I looked at them and said, yeah, we've got the gun
50:02
upstairs. They had a shotgun. They had a handgun. And
50:05
they said, they're going to kill Joey Wright. And
50:10
I sat and I looked at them and I went, hang on a minute. I've
50:13
been in Beverly Hills. I've done this life. And
50:15
I've come back to this. And
50:20
then some of the
50:22
crime families at the time had
50:24
invited me to do importation. But
50:28
my life had changed the day I
50:30
was in Weizmann's with the
50:32
money and the redemption. And
50:36
I'd been married. I'd
50:38
been married eight years and I was once
50:40
a children. Anyway,
50:44
my two friends, I had to change their
50:46
thinking. And
50:48
I told them, he
50:51
said he knows your own. And
50:53
Joey at the time was doing massive importation.
50:58
I could have gone in with Joey. So
51:01
what I came up was an
51:03
agreement with my friends that
51:08
if you kill him, that
51:11
I was associated to Joey, going
51:14
back on the statements that he'd made against me.
51:17
And I would be a target. I'd be his
51:20
enemy because they knew the cops,
51:24
that he blew me up and he had
51:26
that connection with them. And
51:28
I was one of the closest people to him at the
51:30
time. So
51:32
I changed these guys' minds and I said, listen, why
51:35
don't we do this? Why
51:39
don't we tax him? And
51:42
he looked at me and said, well, that's not a bad
51:44
idea. I
51:48
said, let me sort it out for you. And
51:51
he said, well, he's scared of you, Terry. We
51:55
know he's scared of you. I said,
51:57
well, them days are gone as far
51:59
as I'm concerned. I'm going to go back
52:01
to the United States anyway. So
52:05
I'd met all some of
52:07
the crime families, had some drinks with them all over the
52:09
city and they were delighted to see
52:11
me, what are you going to do with Joey? And
52:14
they thought I was going to have a straightener with him and
52:16
I was going to do something. And
52:18
I went, nah, I said, I've got nothing against
52:20
him. You know, he's
52:23
a blow up merchant, he's a super grasser.
52:26
And that was it. So what I decided to
52:29
do was to
52:31
go to his home. I
52:36
know he was a bit of a tough guy but to me it was
52:38
nothing. I'd been to him with all them
52:40
all my life. I
52:44
went to his home and he lived
52:46
in Liverpool on Queen's Drive. One
52:50
night. And it was April, I'd
52:52
arrived and it was light at night. So
52:56
about six to eight he went to the house and
52:58
just bang, bang, bang knocked on the door. And
53:01
his wife opens it, Mary. Her
53:03
name was Mary O'Marry. She was a nice
53:05
girl. She had two kids. Young
53:08
Joseph and Michael
53:10
Rice. And
53:13
I said, hello Mary, I said, is
53:15
Seddy away? I've just come home from the States. Joey
53:18
pops his head around the corner and he goes, is
53:20
that you, Seddy? I went, alright,
53:22
how are you? And
53:26
he said, how are you doing? I
53:28
went, alright. And
53:31
he didn't come to the door. He
53:33
stayed where he was and I went, hey, in
53:35
a minute, what's the matter with you? Come
53:38
out. What's he doing, lad? So
53:40
he comes out and
53:42
he's put some weight on him. He was a bit of a fat
53:44
lad. But
53:47
he could have a cold life. And
53:50
I had a lot of bottle
53:52
of scotfella. And I knew what he
53:54
was doing through the grapevine, through
53:56
others. And
53:59
I kept that to myself. So we said to him, listen
54:01
can I have a pint with you? I
54:04
will go up to the Walton Road, to
54:07
the Black Horse, I need to
54:09
speak to you. He
54:11
said, you've got a nice house, got
54:13
a lovely kid, lovely wife, I
54:16
just need to speak to you. He
54:18
said, Joey it's not about me, it's
54:20
in your best interest to come with us. I
54:25
said, you're safe, I've got no one with me. I
54:29
said, Joey I'm standing here now, I've pulled a
54:31
gun out, I could kill you right now. It's
54:34
not about that. He
54:36
said, come with me, let's have a pint. So
54:39
we walked up, it was only a few bus stops,
54:41
away we walked up to Walton Road and
54:44
he was making a lot of dough at
54:47
the time, a lot
54:49
of dough in the 80s and
54:52
I did that. So
54:54
I sat with him, I had a drink with him.
54:56
I said, listen, do you
54:59
want a 150,000 quid? And
55:02
he looked at me and went, wha? I
55:05
said, do you want a 150? I
55:10
said, I'm the messenger, you've
55:13
got to come up with a 150,000 in cash. As
55:17
if you don't, I
55:20
think your life will be in danger. There's
55:24
a possibility that your
55:26
sons will be targeted too. They'll
55:31
be targeted and
55:35
that's all I've got to say to you. He
55:38
said, I'll tell you what, I'll give you 75. I
55:41
said, no, Joey it's 150.
55:43
I said, I'm
55:45
going to come back tomorrow. He
55:48
looked at me, he said, do you want another pint? I
55:51
said, I'll have another one. So
55:56
I have another one with him and he said,
55:58
I said, listen lad. going back
56:00
to the United States. I said
56:03
your trial that you had with
56:05
me, you
56:09
had made statements against
56:11
me and I had to trial
56:13
out with him in the pub. I
56:16
said you had
56:19
boxed the jury off, you paid
56:21
the jury for the not guilty and
56:25
that was my advice I gave you to
56:28
follow the jury home on the bus and
56:31
I had done this for some people
56:34
on the docks early in my life to
56:37
follow the jury and
56:40
I'd get behind them on the back of the bus. An old
56:42
friend of mine, Joe Evans, had been
56:44
caught with a wagon
56:46
load of whiskey and he was in custody and
56:49
I was pulled in with them a
56:52
good old friend called Jerry Bennett and
56:55
I was young at the time and I followed
56:58
the jury and I got behind
57:00
them on the bus and I said make
57:02
sure you come in with a not guilty tomorrow, it's
57:05
in your best interest and
57:07
I passed that on to Joey, what
57:10
to do and
57:13
I got that message to him and
57:15
we always talked about that how we would
57:17
box off the Liverpool jury and
57:20
it worked for Joey. They even
57:22
had the glass that they
57:25
planted from the security guard onto
57:28
Joey's clothes for forensic, that's how much
57:30
they wanted to frame him and they
57:32
put it on my clothes but
57:34
the jury still came back in and
57:37
he was found not guilty. I said
57:39
but what you told the
57:42
cops, you
57:45
exactly told the police that
57:47
I had left to California Joey and
57:50
it was in the echo, it was an
57:52
headline in the echo Liverpool
57:54
man escapes to America after
57:58
attacking the security guard. on
58:01
Scotland Road, you actually told them I
58:03
went to Los Angeles, how fucking dumb
58:05
are you? I
58:08
said, but I'll tell you what lad, I'm
58:10
talking now, our Liverpool language, they're going to
58:12
have you. I said,
58:14
you've got half an hour for me to cough, you've
58:17
got half an hour I'm leaving, I'm
58:19
fucking off back to the United States to get on with me
58:21
life. I
58:23
said, what do you think? He said, what about it under
58:25
us? I
58:28
said, I've just sold you, it's
58:30
$150. So, tomorrow Joey,
58:34
it's going to be a car parked on County
58:36
Road, in the back of
58:38
the car, it's going to be
58:40
a Mijayo, they had the Mijayo out there.
58:43
This new car had come up Mijayo, this fella had
58:45
a Mijayo, the car's going
58:47
to be parked there, the
58:50
plates were changed on it. And
58:52
I said, take the money, and
58:56
I don't want you to bring it into the pub, because
58:58
if you set me up Joey, and
59:00
I get arrested, that's
59:02
the old money that
59:05
you're giving, that's what you're making now. And
59:08
he said to me, alright
59:11
Eddie, I said, I'm telling you lads,
59:13
I've just saved your life, I've actually
59:15
saved your life, and you the one that
59:17
cast me up. I said, well I want to
59:19
thank you for that, because you actually
59:21
changed my life, and
59:24
I've seen through this. I said, I
59:26
went to Beverly Hills, and I've
59:28
become a good butler, and I've had
59:30
a good life, and I'm going back to get some more.
59:34
So thanks mate, I said go
59:37
on your way Joey, anyway, I said
59:39
I'll see you tomorrow, don't
59:41
bring any heavy Z in mate, don't
59:44
bring any guns, I
59:46
said, and I will be, take
59:49
the money and put it into Mijayo on this
59:51
street, besides the
59:54
black horse, the back door's open,
59:56
and the two guys, my
59:58
other partners, will watch it. watching them at the hill. He
1:00:02
takes the money, he puts it in, he
1:00:05
watches them, he comes back out.
1:00:07
He said,
1:00:11
do you want to have a pint? I said no thanks.
1:00:16
I knew then I was outside in case
1:00:18
anything happened to me on the inside and
1:00:22
I said, show me good luck, God bless you. So
1:00:26
what happened to his life and his children's life,
1:00:30
his son was executed, Mickey
1:00:34
Wright was executed and
1:00:38
Islaan Sherod and a Kentucki Friedchicken.
1:00:42
Joey became a
1:00:45
mule in
1:00:47
portation to Scotland of Edouin. The
1:00:51
police had followed him one
1:00:53
morning, got on the train with
1:00:55
him and followed him to Scotland. He
1:00:59
raided the apartments in Scotland and
1:01:01
found all the heathermen and the cocaine and
1:01:05
the judge gave them 100 years. He got
1:01:07
25 years each. Joey ended up in
1:01:15
Scotland in jail,
1:01:17
25 years. Later
1:01:19
on his life, he
1:01:22
got out. I think they dropped us to
1:01:25
15 years. He had
1:01:28
actually asked me to come in with him. I
1:01:31
thought there's no way I could have done it. Finding
1:01:34
that missing shin guard, remembering whether
1:01:36
it's a home or away game, getting
1:01:38
the right kid to the right playing
1:01:40
field on the right day. Why are
1:01:42
simple things sometimes so complicated? Thankfully
1:01:45
with auto owners, insurance doesn't have to be
1:01:47
one of them. We work with
1:01:49
independent agents who live in your community and answer
1:01:51
when you call. So you can
1:01:53
worry about more important things like
1:01:55
not being that thin. Oh, come
1:01:58
on, ref. That's simple human Ask
1:02:01
your independent agent if auto owners make sense for
1:02:03
you. Loading the kids in the car. Brokering
1:02:05
peeps in the back seat. Nestoring
1:02:07
to snag handoffs without even looking.
1:02:09
Why are simple things sometimes so
1:02:12
complicated? Thankfully with auto owners, insurance
1:02:14
doesn't have to be one of them. We
1:02:16
work with independent agents who live in
1:02:18
your community, know you by name, and
1:02:20
answer when you call. They keep insurance
1:02:23
simple, so you can worry about more
1:02:25
important things. Like figuring out what's
1:02:27
growing in that cup holder. Simple
1:02:29
human sense. Ask your independent agent
1:02:32
if auto owners make sense for you. Because
1:02:34
I was on my way back. His
1:02:36
life was cut
1:02:38
short down. The sentence was cut short down to 14
1:02:40
years. He
1:02:43
was an order from a judge, and
1:02:46
I think he confiscated his homes. He
1:02:49
had multiple homes. He
1:02:52
come out. He
1:02:54
was depressed. Became
1:02:56
an alcoholic. Went to
1:02:58
alcoholic's anonymous. And
1:03:02
then he fixuated in
1:03:05
his sleep, and he died
1:03:07
on his own sick. And
1:03:09
Joey had passed away. And
1:03:11
that was the end of Joey's life. The world was he? I
1:03:15
don't know at the time, Sean. I
1:03:17
don't know. It was very sad. The
1:03:20
other two guys, I saved
1:03:22
their lives from not killing them. Because
1:03:24
I know for a fact what would have gone on in
1:03:27
Liverpool, all the killings, that these
1:03:29
would have got caught. The
1:03:31
same with the other
1:03:33
friends who were executing, John and G.
1:03:37
They finally got caught. That
1:03:41
was the life of Liverpool. So then
1:03:43
I would return to the
1:03:45
United States. To start a new life. That's
1:03:49
1987. That's
1:03:53
the yuppies in the stock market crash here,
1:03:55
isn't it? Yeah, yeah, 1987. Yeah, yeah. So
1:03:59
you go to Orange County. go to Orange County,
1:04:01
goes back to Dora, goes
1:04:04
back to Dora, good old Dora, the
1:04:06
best international agency in the
1:04:08
world. Now I was powerful, I
1:04:12
was classed then as
1:04:14
the most wanted Hollywood butler in
1:04:16
Hollywood and
1:04:19
I did
1:04:21
about Orange County and
1:04:24
this gentleman was
1:04:26
an attorney and
1:04:29
he owned a five-acre estate so
1:04:33
I decided to take a chance and
1:04:36
drive to Orange County. The
1:04:39
gentleman's name, the lawyer was named Teddy Giles,
1:04:43
he is now Ben Carson who
1:04:45
ran for president, he's
1:04:47
his attorney and his advisor. I
1:04:51
get to go to Orange County with my wife Annette,
1:04:53
it was a Sunday
1:04:56
morning and I
1:04:58
always remember it was May and
1:05:01
I pulled up to the house all gated,
1:05:03
beautiful surroundings and
1:05:06
it was on a hill called Peacock Hill, the
1:05:09
reason why it was called Peacock Hill, it was where the peacocks used
1:05:11
to roam and
1:05:15
went in, I had an interview with him, his
1:05:17
house was 5,000 square feet, he had a cinema
1:05:20
five acres outside, waterfalls,
1:05:25
very very, he was only 38, took me to my house
1:05:28
next door, my
1:05:30
house next door had a swim pool, my
1:05:33
house was 4,000 square feet, at the gym
1:05:37
and everything, it was
1:05:40
unbelievable. Next thing,
1:05:43
the house next door he'd knocked down, it
1:05:46
was a million dollars and he built a tennis court and
1:05:49
he said to me, we've got some lovely exotic
1:05:52
birds outside and they had peacocks and
1:05:55
swans, oh
1:05:58
my god, I've never seen that like it, it was like a It
1:06:00
was like Paradise. It was like a
1:06:02
big old tell in Hawaii and
1:06:04
he had a lovely wife, Patty, at the time
1:06:07
and him and my wife connected, Patty's
1:06:09
wife and her nephew connected and
1:06:11
he sat back in the living room and
1:06:14
the living room was massive and
1:06:16
he sat with me and he said,
1:06:19
I feel so comfortable with you. So
1:06:21
I said to him, I'm
1:06:23
not sure at the moment. He
1:06:26
said, I'd love to offer you the job. I
1:06:28
said, well, I own a Toyota
1:06:30
dealership and
1:06:32
I told him I just got back from England. He said, well,
1:06:35
I can give you the new car for
1:06:38
coming down. He said, I'll give you the Toyota Supra
1:06:40
and you can take it off
1:06:42
the showroom floor. I said, well,
1:06:44
I appreciate that, Mr. Giles. I said,
1:06:46
well, I've got to go back to LA tomorrow to
1:06:50
meet Johnny Carson, the
1:06:54
interviewer in
1:06:57
Malibu and I wanted to meet
1:06:59
Johnny Carson. So
1:07:01
I decided to hold off on him and
1:07:04
he said to me, will you commit to me? I said, I'll tell
1:07:06
you what, listen, I
1:07:08
love the grounds and I
1:07:10
love everything about what's going on here. But
1:07:13
this interview has been set up. I've
1:07:15
got to go. 95%. I'll come
1:07:19
to you and
1:07:22
then negotiate the wage. The wage
1:07:24
was good money. I'll
1:07:28
be living in to have all these credit
1:07:30
cards, the car and
1:07:32
just the wage. The wage was like $80,000 in 1987. It
1:07:39
was good money. It's quite a lot of
1:07:41
money. I thought
1:07:43
I'd save up life for five years, you know, I'll have
1:07:45
half a million. Ten years, I'll have about
1:07:47
a million dollars to buy it home.
1:07:50
Anyway, I said, I'll be
1:07:52
in touch with the agency. Next
1:07:54
day, gets up, said to me, wife,
1:07:57
don't come with me. I'm going to drive to Malibu. I
1:08:00
went to a place called Blue Evan, Johnny
1:08:03
Carson's estate. It's called Blue Evan.
1:08:07
The animal of who went in and met Johnny.
1:08:10
I just, I went through the motions with the interview. Really
1:08:14
didn't want the job. It's
1:08:16
what stuck in my mind was the freedom of having a lovely
1:08:18
old man on his county, but
1:08:20
doing this job. So,
1:08:24
went back to Zora. She called
1:08:26
me that afternoon. She said, what's your decision? I
1:08:30
said, I'll take him on his county.
1:08:35
And I moved to his county. Moved
1:08:38
to his county.
1:08:41
Goes in the home, in the kitchen. There
1:08:46
was a note
1:08:49
to me and Annette and two cups. And
1:08:51
I said, welcome aboard. And
1:08:55
I said, Mr. and Mrs. Giles, this is one of
1:08:57
the luckiest days of our lives that we've met you.
1:09:00
Oh. What's that like? And a
1:09:02
note, and a month's wages. This
1:09:08
was $6,500. I
1:09:11
went, oh, these must be nice people. And
1:09:15
so all what I've gone through. But
1:09:19
the problem was I
1:09:22
was half exonerated, but
1:09:24
not exonerated. Uh-oh. I'd
1:09:28
been told to keep away, but
1:09:31
I wasn't totally exonerated.
1:09:35
So it still had a profound effect
1:09:37
on my mind. Stated away, yeah. Stated
1:09:39
in there. But I knew that
1:09:41
I could just get on with it. And
1:09:44
I changed. And I thought about, I had
1:09:47
two weeks holiday. And
1:09:49
I thought, I'll go to the Hawaiian Islands. I
1:09:53
thought, I'll go there. Anyway,
1:09:56
I took the job for Mr. Giles. And
1:09:59
he'd been there. the news big time. His
1:10:03
officers were underneath the
1:10:05
stairway of the tennis
1:10:09
courts and
1:10:12
he had all his pitches on the wall in the Los
1:10:14
Angeles Times and
1:10:18
a lot at the mall. The hillside strangler,
1:10:21
the freeway killer, Martin
1:10:24
Luther King's estate he took
1:10:26
care of, Richard Breyer when
1:10:29
he was Freemason, he was
1:10:31
his lawyer, Frank
1:10:33
Sinatra's lawyer, he
1:10:36
was Frank Sinatra's lawyer, Frank
1:10:38
Sinatra's junior. There's
1:10:42
a thing when women accuse them for having babies, I
1:10:44
don't know what the name of it is and
1:10:47
Terry Giles would defend Frank Sinatra's son
1:10:53
and Giles would always go to
1:10:57
Palm Springs. So
1:11:00
basically I started with Giles,
1:11:03
I put his curriculum together
1:11:05
for the own and I had
1:11:07
to put a menu because they
1:11:10
had a wine cellar, a
1:11:12
cinema and they would dine
1:11:14
in different places on a Saturday night and
1:11:17
they had this palacious koi
1:11:20
pond outside where they would overlook
1:11:23
the grounds and this
1:11:25
is where I would save them at night on
1:11:28
the weekends and they'd have all guests over. It
1:11:31
was absolutely beautiful. So
1:11:34
I started the job, everything
1:11:36
was fine, go
1:11:38
make cooking, everything. I
1:11:43
took lessons from, there
1:11:46
was a private club down
1:11:48
in, called
1:11:50
the Golden Door in
1:11:53
Escondido, Wiseman had actually
1:11:55
sent me there when I'd work for
1:11:57
Wiseman for French cooking
1:11:59
lessons. and he paid for it for me. But
1:12:02
I didn't give them too much, because sometimes
1:12:04
you give them too much and they
1:12:06
expect too much as well. So
1:12:08
I didn't give too much. I always kept a lot back. I
1:12:12
just started on the job. It
1:12:16
takes me the first week to
1:12:18
garden grove Toyota. You said,
1:12:20
which cars you want? There's a Celica,
1:12:23
Toyota Supra, and another. I
1:12:25
said, I'll take that. The
1:12:28
Supra. I talked to Supra. I had a Supra around
1:12:30
then as well. Well in the 90s, yeah. But
1:12:32
our twin turbo thing. Yeah, yeah. Well there was
1:12:34
the Celica and there was the Supra. So
1:12:37
I got the Celica and just
1:12:39
parked it outside the house. That
1:12:42
was my day car for my day off. And then
1:12:44
we had another Toyota for the chores. So
1:12:47
I settled down with them. I
1:12:49
do know a lot of entertaining at the weekends, keeping
1:12:52
up on the grands,
1:12:56
maintenance, me and my wife. A
1:12:58
lot of work involved. It was
1:13:00
conducted every day. So
1:13:03
he told me that it was someone that
1:13:05
was coming very important to
1:13:08
the grounds. To me it
1:13:10
wasn't significant, but to them it was
1:13:12
significant. And he knew that I
1:13:15
was the top quality man that
1:13:17
I was saving me and my wife. And
1:13:24
I never questioned him. I
1:13:27
just entertained. But
1:13:29
this day he was excited
1:13:33
and he'd represented Martin
1:13:35
Luther King's family, the estate. He
1:13:39
was the lawyer for that. So
1:13:42
this day we sort of kept my
1:13:44
distance from him. He was very, he
1:13:47
was a brilliant lawyer. And
1:13:51
I just asked
1:13:53
him one day, he said, who's
1:13:55
the guest this weekend? I
1:13:58
said, because you're so excited. excited. I've
1:14:01
never seen you excited. He
1:14:04
said, oh, it's Oprah Winfrey. And
1:14:07
Stedman. I said, oh, is
1:14:09
he? I said, that'll be nice, won't
1:14:11
it? Get to meet Oprah,
1:14:13
eh? And he went, yeah.
1:14:16
Anyway, so I was a little bit excited, like, and it
1:14:20
was so short. You'd just done the movie of
1:14:22
colour purple at the time. Well, I remember that.
1:14:24
Yeah, she's done that movie with, with
1:14:26
the Goldberg. So
1:14:30
he asked me what I was doing. I said, well, would
1:14:32
you shut in life at all? Because she's always on a
1:14:34
diet. I started laughing. I said, I'll
1:14:36
do the nice salmon, eh? With the ginger on the
1:14:38
top and that. And I said, I'll
1:14:40
do the chocolate sundae
1:14:43
for a souffle. And I'll
1:14:45
do a nice
1:14:48
salad and something nice and light. So
1:14:51
the dining room, it
1:14:54
was all gold. So it was gold
1:14:56
plated. It was absolutely
1:14:58
gorgeous marble. It
1:15:01
was just hard to explain it. It
1:15:04
was like out of a movie. Anyway,
1:15:07
then I came and we
1:15:10
were all set. And we'd
1:15:12
had a Cosibo on the
1:15:14
grounds with all the waterfalls. So
1:15:17
when you entered, I entered a
1:15:19
picture of Oprah up at the gates, two big white gates
1:15:21
opened in a limousine. Good
1:15:24
evening. How are you? Good
1:15:26
evening, sir. Brings them
1:15:28
in. Giles is a
1:15:30
waiting down at the Cosibo. That's what
1:15:32
he did. And then I brought them down and
1:15:35
Oprah was like that looking at the grounds going,
1:15:38
isn't this beautiful? Absolutely
1:15:41
beautiful. And
1:15:43
I was watching Oprah and I was watching
1:15:45
Stenman do watching everything. And
1:15:47
she looked at me and she went, are you the butler? I
1:15:50
went, yes. And
1:15:52
I said, my wife works with me. Oh,
1:15:54
it's a beautiful place. I said, yeah, we keep it
1:15:56
beautiful. And he
1:15:59
sat down. And he had a drink and
1:16:02
then my wife went back to the kitchen to
1:16:04
get it all ready in the main
1:16:06
house and then
1:16:08
eventually they'd sit down and they were
1:16:10
talking business about manjela
1:16:13
in Africa. You
1:16:16
know you could hear certain things but I wasn't that interested
1:16:18
in it, it just did me job. Then
1:16:21
we'd done the salmon, we did
1:16:23
the dessert and
1:16:27
they had coffee. And
1:16:29
Mr Childs was always drinking his wine, the
1:16:31
pouly-foucet, that was his favourite
1:16:33
white wine, pouly-foucet. And
1:16:39
next thing the door opened and
1:16:42
she comes in to the kitchen and
1:16:47
she said to me, this was
1:16:52
absolutely beautiful. And she
1:16:54
said to me, where are you from? I said
1:16:56
Liverpool. She
1:16:58
went, that was the most amazing meal I've ever had. So
1:17:01
we started doing some bands here, we tore
1:17:04
some leather down here. So
1:17:07
that was your show going. She
1:17:09
went to the braids and said yeah, I'll watch you down again
1:17:11
on my break here. She
1:17:13
went, do you? I said yeah. I
1:17:16
said, do you want me on the show? She
1:17:19
started laughing. I
1:17:24
started laughing with her and I said, I can go
1:17:26
on the show, you know, tell you some stories, where
1:17:28
are Beverly Hills? Anyway,
1:17:32
she started laughing. She
1:17:35
started laughing. She went, how long have you
1:17:37
been here? She said, I've been to Pupble
1:17:39
all my life, you know, apart from what
1:17:41
I've done in the past. Fucking
1:17:44
nuts. She said, oh you're amazing.
1:17:47
So anyway, she stayed the night actually.
1:17:50
She stayed the night and then the next day I took care of
1:17:52
her and I gave them breakfast. Took care of her instead. They
1:17:55
had lunch and then the limousine come.
1:17:57
And she'd come like every month. Wow.
1:18:00
got to know her and she was, I
1:18:02
found her to be a nice woman. That's
1:18:04
the way I found her. A lot of people say different. I
1:18:08
just carried on with the
1:18:10
Giles having all these experiences.
1:18:14
Then Teddy was doing a trial.
1:18:16
He'd gone out and
1:18:18
there was a guy, it was
1:18:21
called the Fred Barr Douglas murder in
1:18:24
Orange County. It was very famous where
1:18:27
he'd gone out this guy, committed
1:18:30
murder and Teddy Giles had got
1:18:32
him off with the murder. He
1:18:35
went out again. Did another one. He
1:18:38
did another one but she didn't
1:18:40
die. He chopped the girls arms off.
1:18:44
Hold on, this is our guy from
1:18:46
Joey Torres interview. Is it?
1:18:49
Yeah. He was in prison
1:18:51
with this guy Larry something. I don't know his name.
1:18:54
Yeah, because he, the guy said to him, you
1:18:57
know, you chopped her arms off and she
1:18:59
got like so much money and he said,
1:19:02
well, the bitch can't spend it can she?
1:19:04
Yeah. That's what the killer, he said in
1:19:06
prison. So that was
1:19:08
probably the case. Yeah. Isn't that
1:19:10
so coincidental Sean? Yeah. Very coincidental.
1:19:13
Scary guy, the killer. Yeah, he
1:19:15
was. So what happened with Teddy
1:19:17
Giles, he was the greatest
1:19:20
lawyer with another guy called
1:19:23
John Barnett, which I'd meet
1:19:25
John later on when and after I'd
1:19:27
have some trouble in Los Angeles, I'd
1:19:30
meet John down the line. He was
1:19:32
going to, he actually defended, he will, he, I'll tell
1:19:34
you the story when he defends me and
1:19:39
Teddy Giles had gone to come to the
1:19:41
conclusion now. Oh, I've
1:19:43
had enough of defending killers and
1:19:47
he quit clinical law and
1:19:50
he moved into an area of corporate
1:19:53
law where he was
1:19:56
very well known in the world as well.
1:20:00
one of the greatest lawyers from Pepperdine University
1:20:02
he could ever go to. Anyway,
1:20:06
he took this case and
1:20:09
it was in computer land
1:20:12
in the 80s. And
1:20:16
how I know about the case is because they
1:20:19
shared it with me and I got to look
1:20:21
after the owner of computer land and
1:20:23
he was the fifth richest man in the world and
1:20:27
his name was Bill Millard. So
1:20:31
he was coming to the house and
1:20:33
Teddy consulted me to tell me
1:20:36
that Teddy, can you
1:20:38
do your best? I said, well
1:20:40
of course. So
1:20:42
Bill Millard and his team, Ed Faber
1:20:44
and all of them were coming
1:20:47
and there was a lawsuit at
1:20:49
the San Francisco courthouse
1:20:54
where they were getting sued or
1:20:56
something was going on in the trial. Anyway,
1:21:00
I took care of Millard and
1:21:03
his wife and the editor also Barbara,
1:21:06
she was the CEO of computer land. Teddy
1:21:09
had told them to step down and
1:21:12
then Barbara would take over and
1:21:15
she would become the CEO. So they had the trial, went
1:21:18
on for quite a while. Did you
1:21:20
all come back to the house at the weekends, be
1:21:23
in the pool, have an hamburgers,
1:21:25
have an extra, you know, pool
1:21:28
if you say wine. Then
1:21:30
they get ready,
1:21:32
they go back, fly private plane
1:21:35
back to San Francisco and
1:21:37
then the trial was resumed. Anyway,
1:21:40
he came in the veg, he came in, Teddy
1:21:42
Giles won the biggest lawsuit in history. Wow,
1:21:45
360 million, won the lawsuit. They
1:21:51
all came back to the house and he was written
1:21:53
champagne. Teddy had come up to
1:21:55
me, Mr. Giles and
1:21:57
he said to me, I said, how did you do? Yep,
1:22:00
he won the case. I
1:22:03
said, congratulations. He
1:22:06
said, and Bill Millard's very impressed with you.
1:22:09
He talks about you all the time. I
1:22:12
said, that's good, isn't it? I didn't think not, no,
1:22:14
but just, there's nothing. He
1:22:18
told me, he said, Teddy
1:22:22
will be going away in a few days. We're
1:22:24
flying on a private plane to
1:22:27
the coast of Australia to
1:22:30
an island called Hamilton Island, very
1:22:33
exclusive. Two
1:22:37
days later, he's gone
1:22:39
out for meals and that, indeed. Teddy
1:22:41
owns a club in Newport Beach called Magic
1:22:43
Island. It was a
1:22:45
restaurant and it was a magic show. I
1:22:48
had access to that, if I go there any
1:22:50
time at once. I did train
1:22:52
one of the chefs there and the manager out
1:22:55
of honey. And
1:22:57
anyway, Teddy come down this morning and
1:22:59
he said to me, Teddy, we're going away for
1:23:01
a month. The house is
1:23:03
yours. And I was
1:23:05
so tired and he said, Bill
1:23:07
Millard's gonna come over to see you. He
1:23:10
wants to thank you. And
1:23:13
he said to me, Teddy, thanks. He said, go down to
1:23:15
the club and have what you want.
1:23:17
Take your friends, champagne, do what you
1:23:19
want. I said,
1:23:21
nah, I think I'll just have, I'll just play
1:23:24
a bit of tennis. That's
1:23:26
all I'll do. Cause I was
1:23:28
so tired. And he made Bill Millard
1:23:30
came over and
1:23:32
his wife and he
1:23:34
stood there and he thanked me in the net for the service that
1:23:37
they gave us. Wow. That
1:23:39
I'd gave them. And he
1:23:43
gave me an envelope with $10,000 in it. He
1:23:47
said to me, Teddy,
1:23:49
here's the 10,000. It was
1:23:51
in an envelope. He went, this is for you. And
1:23:54
he actually made a comment. And
1:23:57
he said, I've had the best butlers.
1:24:00
He said, you are the
1:24:02
finest butler I have ever seen.
1:24:09
We're confident. We're left, yeah.
1:24:12
We left and we went to Amonton Island. And
1:24:16
I was left with a net and we had
1:24:18
the whole place to ourselves. But
1:24:20
we were too tired. You couldn't enjoy
1:24:23
it. But it was
1:24:25
brilliant. Yeah,
1:24:27
but it was about to turn sour if
1:24:29
you use as I went on.
1:24:33
It sounds like the next one's challenging with the Catholic
1:24:35
bishop. Yeah, well what happened there,
1:24:37
Sean, is my
1:24:41
wife had got pregnant in
1:24:45
the jazzy's. And
1:24:47
I was so happy because we
1:24:49
had lost the baby in 1984, 85 when I
1:24:51
was at Max Factor's. She
1:24:56
was four months pregnant and we'd lost
1:24:58
her. And
1:25:00
so now my wife
1:25:02
had told me that she was pregnant and
1:25:05
I was delighted. So
1:25:07
we got the heartbeat. That
1:25:09
was the most significant thing that what I told you was
1:25:13
the heartbeat. And we
1:25:16
get to the heartbeat and
1:25:18
I'm over the moon. We
1:25:20
go and tell the Giles's
1:25:25
and the unhappy because
1:25:28
they didn't have kids. And
1:25:31
they didn't want kids. So
1:25:35
next thing, after
1:25:37
all these years, he said
1:25:40
to me, Teddy, I'll have to get
1:25:42
a new couple. And I said, thank you, I'll
1:25:45
be your manager. I'll hire
1:25:47
another booklet and he said, no, but we want a
1:25:49
net as well because she played a
1:25:51
big role with his
1:25:53
wife. So
1:25:55
I honestly think that Teddy Giles, him
1:25:58
and his wife had had an agreement with him. that they didn't have
1:26:00
children. I live next door
1:26:04
and they don't want a child on the property for
1:26:06
insurance purposes. So
1:26:09
that position a
1:26:12
month later ended after all
1:26:14
them years but it was
1:26:16
a great experience that I had
1:26:18
with them. It was
1:26:20
absolutely unbelievable and we parted
1:26:22
ways and
1:26:25
then I head out and then I go
1:26:27
back into the real world and
1:26:29
I buy a little home in Santa Ana and
1:26:35
I'd kept in touch with the window cleaner, I'd
1:26:39
hired him and he asked me
1:26:41
to go in business with him and
1:26:44
I did you
1:26:46
eventually but I
1:26:49
got another position from
1:26:52
Dora again and it was
1:26:54
actually in Orange County and
1:26:56
it was the Bishop for the
1:26:59
Catholic Church, Todd
1:27:02
Brown in
1:27:06
Orange County. There
1:27:09
was a school called Marte Day High School in
1:27:11
Santa Ana, the
1:27:13
biggest Catholic school this side
1:27:15
of the Mississippi and they
1:27:18
wanted a cook.
1:27:22
They called themselves, they want a cook but I'm
1:27:24
not a cook, I was a chef. A
1:27:28
cook to me is like McDonald's.
1:27:34
So I'd gone to
1:27:36
the school and
1:27:39
the principal was John Weiling and
1:27:43
he told me about the house that
1:27:45
Todd Brown had sent me and
1:27:47
he was the major decision maker and
1:27:50
he hired me to be the chef at the house and
1:27:55
then what I
1:27:57
found is it
1:27:59
was very un- very unusual. There
1:28:02
was a priest there and
1:28:05
he was dying of AIDS. He
1:28:10
was actually dying of
1:28:12
AIDS and
1:28:14
he asked me to keep a quire. So
1:28:18
because of my loyalty I kept
1:28:22
a quire and
1:28:24
there was times that I fed him. I
1:28:28
fed the priest and I
1:28:30
kept quietness to feed them all like
1:28:33
every night. Like I
1:28:35
went in from four to nine. It's like
1:28:37
part-time and
1:28:39
then I used to watch the priest and
1:28:42
he had intravenous and
1:28:44
it was a white shake they were giving him in
1:28:47
his arm and he was dying. Later
1:28:50
on in life they used to
1:28:52
mock society. They
1:28:55
would mock society and
1:28:58
how things were and
1:29:00
we had a girl who was a cleaner and
1:29:03
she was a little bit disabled and
1:29:05
the standards of the cleaning went up
1:29:07
to theirs and
1:29:10
I picked up on this in a conversation and
1:29:12
I thought this is not working here and
1:29:18
it was always in the back of my mind. Are
1:29:22
we got the AIDS at
1:29:26
the time? Later
1:29:30
on in life he'd
1:29:33
been involved
1:29:36
in sexual abuse because
1:29:39
there was a lawsuit in
1:29:41
Orange County and
1:29:45
his name was mentioned and
1:29:47
you know it was defended the case. Giles.
1:29:53
Teddy Giles defended it was a
1:29:56
hundred million dollar case he
1:29:59
defended it. So
1:30:02
I carried on and
1:30:06
stayed with them a while and then eventually I left. But
1:30:09
my baby was born and
1:30:12
I bought this little house in Santa Ana.

out to Kelly yeah what I kell
1:32:08
what I love yeah
1:32:10
and it was beautiful so
1:32:13
I didn't have any insurance and
1:32:18
he came round for the bill and
1:32:21
the bill was 15,000 and
1:32:24
my wife was in the bed and
1:32:28
they'd ask him for the bill and
1:32:32
I'm going we haven't got it I
1:32:34
did have money Sean but I wasn't going to give
1:32:37
that kind of money to an hospital I
1:32:40
thought to myself I'll do a deal with them later on if it
1:32:42
goes on my credit and
1:32:46
it was 15 grand later
1:32:48
on I came back to haunt me when I bought another house
1:32:52
it was on my credit and I'd done a
1:32:54
deal with them and I paid them
1:32:56
seven and a half thousand and
1:32:59
then eventually it all cleaned itself up
1:33:02
so then I carried on and
1:33:04
then I decided to build
1:33:08
the window cleaner business of so
1:33:11
in Orange County you've
1:33:13
got the north the central and
1:33:16

1:34:18
I brought this other guy in and she was
1:34:20
the guys and I thought, well,
1:34:24
let's see how we do the first year. So
1:34:28
I changed and I came
1:34:30
up with an idea and
1:34:32
it was called Britannia Winder Cleaning. And
1:34:37
I advertised in the north, the central and the
1:34:39
south and that was stayed their
1:34:41
own. And
1:34:44
she'd be the secretary. And
1:34:47
I had three guys working for me. And
1:34:50
I went out and I marketed it. I had
1:34:53
two vans. And
1:34:56
we said, well, the first year we
1:34:59
made it under the ground. It
1:35:02
was great. Made
1:35:04
it under a thousand. Living in
1:35:07
Santa Ana. Yeah. So
1:35:12
carries on. And
1:35:20
what happened was I put
1:35:22
Kelly in a private school, carried
1:35:24
on, but it was always on my mind wanting to
1:35:26
be a butler. You
1:35:30
know, just was always in my system, the
1:35:32
butler, the butler. I've
1:35:35
met so many people on
1:35:38
private homes. They were
1:35:40
custom homes all over Orange County.
1:35:45
And I'd
1:35:48
met a guy called
1:35:51
Bob Sitkin and
1:35:55
his wife, Terry. And
1:35:58
I'd actually go into these rooms. homes
1:36:00
and was very trustworthy
1:36:02
and I ran the old place and
1:36:04
they wrote the check and
1:36:07
they just left us in the houses and
1:36:10
they said lock the door up and that they knew we were after
1:36:13
they got to know us. So
1:36:15
this one particular guy his
1:36:18
name was Bob Citroen and
1:36:20
he was the County Treasurer in
1:36:23
Orange County. And
1:36:28
I got to know him he was a bit very
1:36:32
miserable man but said he
1:36:34
was lovely and all of a
1:36:36
sudden all over the news in Orange County. It
1:36:43
was the taxes of all the homes that
1:36:46
you had your taxes you'd write your check to
1:36:48
him on the taxes on the
1:36:50
house. Well can you imagine the money in Orange
1:36:52
County? Well
1:36:55
that was pooled and that
1:36:57
went into the stock market with Meadow Lynch. So
1:37:00
daily change that people getting off that money was
1:37:03
quite substantial. But
1:37:08
all of a sudden it was about to go
1:37:10
wrong for Bob. He
1:37:15
got you confident then
1:37:18
all of a sudden the
1:37:22
money was lost in the stock market.
1:37:28
And what he said he got arrested County
1:37:32
Treasurer Bob Citroen
1:37:35
gets arrested in Orange County.
1:37:41
He's arrested he's
1:37:43
put out on police bail it's all over the
1:37:45
news all over the world. Orange
1:37:48
County has gone bankrupt. I
1:37:51
don't even remember this. I do yeah. But
1:37:54
that was Bob Citroen. Wow. So
1:37:59
Cherry I'm I was in the house, all the
1:38:01
news used to come to the house. She
1:38:03
had no one to talk to, and
1:38:05
she relied on me a bit. And
1:38:08
I said, when does he go to court? And
1:38:14
she goes, it goes every week. And
1:38:16
I said, why are you going out the front of the house into
1:38:19
the media? And
1:38:22
she said to me, Terry, do you think you could help him? This
1:38:26
poor guy was lost. He was frail. He
1:38:28
had these lawyers that were just, I
1:38:31
don't know, they were OK, but they
1:38:33
never had the common sense of what we would have done, Sean. So
1:38:37
I decided to step in, and I said, well, so
1:38:41
I sat down with Bob, and I said to him, do
1:38:43
you want me to guard you? And
1:38:46
he went, yeah,
1:38:49
and if you could help me, he couldn't answer
1:38:51
that question. I
1:38:54
said, let me help you out. So
1:38:57
today he goes to court. What
1:39:00
we're going to do, we're going to go out the
1:39:02
back door. You're not going
1:39:04
through the zolt and then the following to the courtroom, making
1:39:06
a show of you. So
1:39:10
when we made the agreements, it was in
1:39:13
a very exclusive place on Sharon Lane in
1:39:15
Santa Ana, this home he
1:39:17
had in Floral Park. Opposite
1:39:20
sides to that, he
1:39:22
had all these infested Bararios of the
1:39:25
gang members. And on the other
1:39:27
side, you've got Floral Park, Bob Sitcom.
1:39:30
It was nuts. So
1:39:33
anyway, I locked
1:39:35
out him. I'd done a search of
1:39:38
the old street. And
1:39:41
at the time, I had a brand new Ford
1:39:44
Tourist. So
1:39:47
I went to the neighbors next door, and
1:39:51
I went to the back of the street, and I clocked
1:39:53
the house, and
1:39:55
I went to them, and I said to them,
1:39:57
excuse me. My
1:39:59
name is Aaron. I'm Cherry Morgan. I'm
1:40:03
the bodyguard for Mr. Sitram. And
1:40:06
he looked at me. I said,
1:40:09
he's getting harished every time he goes to court. I
1:40:13
said, could you help us out? Or
1:40:16
would you be willing to? And
1:40:18
they said, yes, what
1:40:21
can we do for you? Most
1:40:23
of the Americans in that neighborhood and
1:40:26
the older Americans going back
1:40:28
in them generations would help you. A lot
1:40:32
of them wouldn't get involved, Sean. They
1:40:34
said, yes. I said, well, see
1:40:36
this garden here, see this fence. I
1:40:40
want to take some of the plywood out and we
1:40:42
make it a gate. We'll
1:40:45
access his garden into
1:40:47
your garden. My car will be in
1:40:49
the front of your house and we'll
1:40:51
bring him out the back way. Then
1:40:55
he's in the car with me and his wife and
1:41:00
I'll take him to the Orange County Court House.
1:41:05
So he called me his bodyguard. I
1:41:09
wasn't really his bodyguard, but
1:41:11
in the essence where I showed him come and
1:41:13
what common sense was. And
1:41:16
I just took him to court every week. So
1:41:19
in that case, what happened then was
1:41:23
he never
1:41:27
done anything wrong. He
1:41:30
never done any self-gain. He
1:41:33
never stole anything. He had
1:41:35
great lawyers. So within
1:41:37
the house one day, went on for a while, I
1:41:41
carried on with my life during
1:41:43
the winters and I carried on and every
1:41:45
week I went to his home, sat
1:41:48
with the mad coffee. For
1:41:50
this day, Terry said to me on a Friday,
1:41:53
we brought him home and he'd been
1:41:55
in to see the judge and
1:41:58
he'd come out and he said, Terry, Just
1:42:00
dropped me off at the house So
1:42:02
I took him to the the neighbors we went in the
1:42:04
back. We went in the kitchen And
1:42:09
I said to him is everything okay went yeah, he
1:42:11
said I got me final sentence today And
1:42:15
I said what is it He
1:42:18
said just 12 months at the food bank that
1:42:20
would that was me imprisonment Cuz
1:42:24
he didn't steal nothing for his own gain
1:42:26
sounds like Merrill Inch encouraged him to gamble
1:42:28
it. Yeah, probably Probably at
1:42:30
the time we didn't know the the fundamentals of the
1:42:32
case so what happens
1:42:34
is He got 12 months and
1:42:37
then They still became me
1:42:39
friends Every Christmas they'd send
1:42:41
me this beautiful photograph of the two of them
1:42:43
together. I've still got them And
1:42:46
you know, they were really nice people And
1:42:49
then I just carried on with me life until
1:42:51
the travelers checks come. Oh my god
1:42:56
Ah This was one bad mistake
1:42:59
on my part after all I
1:43:01
faltered I Really
1:43:03
faltered I was actually I
1:43:08
Was actually shamed in myself for doing this Well,
1:43:13
there was a heist in Liverpool and
1:43:16
it was three million dollars taken off the docks I Was
1:43:21
involved with five of the men Who
1:43:24
had been charged with that Monogize
1:43:27
in the car accidents in
1:43:30
Liverpool Jenny were given the
1:43:33
other friends were note some
1:43:35
of them are notorious and Jerry
1:43:40
can't see John's brother He
1:43:43
was He
1:43:47
was in a one of my other friends was
1:43:49
in it was big and a Cockney had
1:43:52
been arrested in London. Alan Wells, well
1:43:54
Z So
1:43:56
in the prison I'd
1:44:00
been asked when
1:44:02
I got out would
1:44:04
I mind some
1:44:08
of the travel checks for the friend. And
1:44:14
my share of it would be compensation
1:44:16
of 25,000. But
1:44:21
then you did what you did
1:44:24
and I kept them. And
1:44:26
my wife had brought them to
1:44:28
America. And
1:44:34
I had them in a safety deposit box in a
1:44:36
bank. So,
1:44:43
a friend of mine had come home
1:44:45
from Liverpool and
1:44:48
I asked them to bring in some of
1:44:50
the old fashioned licenses. The
1:44:55
green license to
1:44:57
copy and I'll get a few of them.
1:45:02
So basically I had 25
1:45:05
grand of American Express and
1:45:08
I started cashing them in Orange County. So
1:45:13
every time you write a check it's a felony. I
1:45:18
didn't know that shown. I've
1:45:21
got Kelly. I bought a
1:45:23
house. I
1:45:26
made the undergrands, on the
1:45:28
windows. And
1:45:31
I've faltered, I've defaltered. So
1:45:36
I was getting away with it. Go
1:45:39
to all the malls, cash the mail, cash the mail. I
1:45:42
saved the money, put the money in the safety deposit box.
1:45:48
For some reason, the
1:45:51
Saturday morning I
1:45:54
got up and
1:45:57
I was with a friend. And
1:46:00
I thought well Where's the
1:46:02
money flown? In Disneyland
1:46:05

1:46:07

1:46:09

1:47:31

1:47:38

1:47:40

1:48:01
I'm in the police station in Anaheim and
1:48:06

1:48:33
anywhere goes in the police station and
1:48:36
I got an OR, me
1:48:38
own bail and
1:48:40
I got out with them there
1:48:44
was three felonies because
1:48:46
when you take a check into a
1:48:48
private property shown that's breaking
1:48:51
and entering, you're
1:48:53
burgling Disneyland so I
1:48:55
got drunk for burgling me on Disneyland and
1:48:58
then I got drunk for the travelers check and
1:49:01
I was what? I
1:49:05
was fucking mad at him. Got
1:49:08
home, had a lovely
1:49:10

1:49:20
still wanted officially and I'm
1:49:22
nicked in America whatever
1:49:26
done let
1:49:28
myself down anyway
1:49:33
have you changed an attorney by
1:49:36
the name of John Barnett? He
1:49:39
was the attorney that represented
1:49:41
the police officers in the Rodney
1:49:43
King beating
1:49:48
and I went to see John and
1:49:51
he knew me from Teddy
1:49:53
Giles, he was Teddy Giles'
1:49:55
partner, he'd
1:49:59
been to the house for
1:50:01
dinner? I
1:50:03
thought I've got to get
1:50:05
John Barnett. Anyway
1:50:09
the three felonies would
1:50:13
add up to over four
1:50:15
years in jail.
1:50:20
However I was having another problem
1:50:22
at the time with one of a neighbor an
1:50:25
American crazy neighbor and
1:50:30
he was jealous of me and
1:50:34
he used to bully his mother next door
1:50:39
and he knocked on the door one night and
1:50:41
told me to move me trucks over. I
1:50:44
moved him they knocked on
1:50:46
the door again and I
1:50:50
said excuse me, he said my daughter's asleep don't
1:50:53
be knocking on the door mate I've
1:50:55
just moved him he fucks off
1:50:57
he comes back knocked on the
1:50:59
door again so I just grabbed
1:51:01
him by the throat and
1:51:03
I pushed him out to the street and
1:51:07
I kept all of his throat and
1:51:10
I said to him I'll fucking
1:51:12
break you door next time. His
1:51:14
mother standing there watching me they
1:51:17
called the police seven
1:51:22
police cars come on a 911 call so
1:51:30
I defended myself in front of the police I went
1:51:34
no man and you know the old
1:51:36
little people came out of me I didn't back
1:51:38
down to these cops this fucking
1:51:40
motherfucker here and he's
1:51:43
a cunt and everything he's bullying bullies
1:51:46
and so next thing he said
1:51:48
to me do you want to press charges he
1:51:51
said yeah? Fucking
1:51:54
gets arrested again? An assault?
1:52:02
I'm going fuck this. John
1:52:06
Barnett told
1:52:08
John. No,
1:52:11
it's a cluster of violence. It's
1:52:13
two things that you don't tolerate as
1:52:16
you know. Violence and drugs. Next
1:52:21
thing. Post
1:52:23
the calls. So
1:52:26
they put them together. Anyway,
1:52:30
I was
1:52:32
going to leave for England and do one. That
1:52:35
and I just stay
1:52:38
here. Anyway,
1:52:41
it comes up the case after a few
1:52:43
months in January. The
1:52:48
judge said, okay,
1:52:51
the sentence is four and a half years. I
1:52:55
went to John, that's too much, man. That's
1:52:59
too much. He
1:53:01
said, well, if
1:53:03
you can do restitution for $25,000 and
1:53:08
then pay the victim back
1:53:13
$5,000 for the assault,
1:53:17
we'll give you two. So
1:53:20
I just agreed with it. Anyway,
1:53:22
cut along for the short. I got 18
1:53:24
months. Did
1:53:27
you do the whole thing? No. No,
1:53:30
didn't do the whole thing, Sean. I
1:53:34
agreed there and
1:53:36
then the judge said, what
1:53:38
do you want to do? I said, you
1:53:40
can take me now. So
1:53:42
they took me. Said
1:53:45
goodbye to Annette. Kelly wasn't
1:53:47
there. Kelly was
1:53:49
three and we had to tell
1:53:51
Kelly that her dad was going away on a ship. So
1:53:55
here they am. I'm going through
1:53:57
a medic and in jail, to jail. I
1:54:03
could have done one but
1:54:06

1:54:59

1:55:01

1:55:03
white guy. I just fucking
1:55:05
looked at them and I went you don't want to get
1:55:07

1:55:13

1:55:20
the guy looked at me and
1:55:22
one of them shouted you and Irish gangster with
1:55:25
the accidents and I went yeah we're Irish
1:55:27
gangster so they
1:55:30
took me and I got segregated into
1:55:32
another tank and
1:55:35
I went in the tank with them and
1:55:37
then it was started then stayed
1:55:39
in Honors County for quite a few months and
1:55:44
I established myself to shadowbox and
1:55:46
all the Mexicans loved that got
1:55:49
the towels at night and all
1:55:52
that you know to English but toilet
1:55:54
rolls in socks yeah everything they've done
1:55:56

1:56:00
got shipped out to
1:56:04
an open prison, James
1:56:06
Music, get
1:56:08
shipped out there and I
1:56:11
think I've got five or six months left. So
1:56:16
I was in the jail this morning, he took
1:56:18
us at three in the morning, then
1:56:20
he got us back up at
1:56:22
five to all
1:56:25
the music, the Vietnam music, dang, dang,
1:56:27
dang, dang, dang, dang, dang, dang, all
1:56:29
this music. It was crazy. So
1:56:32
I made a mistake the next day, you know,
1:56:35
to give you them big black boots. I'd
1:56:38
have made a mistake, I put
1:56:40
my foot on this guy's bed and
1:56:44
he was about six or three and
1:56:47
he said to me, hey motherfucker,
1:56:50
get your foot off my bed or kick
1:56:52
the fucking goddamn shit out of here. So
1:56:56
I went like that, I just ignored him. So
1:57:01
on the commissary, I bought
1:57:05
cigarettes, I
1:57:07
just bought 20 cigarettes. So
1:57:10
we go to the recess this morning, the next morning
1:57:15
and put
1:57:17
two towels in the back
1:57:20
of my pants, give
1:57:24
one guy a cigarette, got
1:57:27
a match and a letter for him, the
1:57:30
other fellas looking at me like that, says
1:57:35
you smoke man, he went yeah,
1:57:37
says yeah, got the match, put
1:57:39
it down and put the towel and just went and
1:57:41
let that round me and I just
1:57:44
threw a right hand and I hit him and knocked him out. And
1:57:48
the two black guys there and he went, he
1:57:51
just went. So
1:57:55
next thing, to
1:57:57
get him off, throw him in on the the
1:58:00
bed. I said go and tell
1:58:02
the guard he fell over and banged his head. And
1:58:07
as I walked away I said to
1:58:09
them all any fucking mess and I have any of
1:58:11
yous that's what you're getting. You're
1:58:13
gonna fucking behave yourselves the lot of yous. So
1:58:17
I had actually established myself in
1:58:19
the prison and
1:58:24
they took him out. He was
1:58:27
a little bit of discrepancy he thought that had
1:58:29
done it. I was questioned. I
1:58:32
said no he fell over.
1:58:34
Yeah I said he banged his shirt and his
1:58:36
head as he went down and
1:58:38
that it was okay. I got away
1:58:41
with it. Good. Yeah I got away with
1:58:43
it. I carried
1:58:45
on with the sentence and
1:58:47
I went on the fire crew. I went
1:58:50
on this fire crew. I was
1:58:53
on the fire crew and outside
1:58:55
cutting fire lines and
1:58:58
then got in and
1:59:01
then I was finally released. Yeah
1:59:04
it's only about nine months. And
1:59:08
then as I came out one
1:59:11
of them said to me one of the prison officers said to
1:59:13
me are you a
1:59:15
citizen? And I just said yeah. I
1:59:19
just said yeah I'm a citizen.
1:59:21
You know why? They
1:59:23
said to me green card. Deportation.
1:59:26
Deportation. Yeah.
1:59:28
Deportation. Gonna
1:59:31
get next. So
1:59:34
I just carried on come out then
1:59:37
all of a sudden a
1:59:40
week later where I'm living
1:59:45
the guy next door walked past him. He's
1:59:50
got a gun. I
1:59:54
actually seen the gun as I walked past the window and
1:59:56
he had the gun like that. And
2:00:00
I walked past and I looked at it and
2:00:03
he was staring at me. I
2:00:08
walked down the end of the alleyway. I
2:00:10
come back round, went back in
2:00:12
the house. I said to my wife,
2:00:14
Eat a minute, come with me. I
2:00:17
said, Get Kelly. And
2:00:19
we went out. And
2:00:22
I went, He's got a gun. She
2:00:25
went, Asi said, Yeah. I said, He might do
2:00:27
me. So
2:00:29
next thing I said, We
2:00:32
called the nearest real estate
2:00:34
agent up. I
2:00:38
said, Put this house on the market right now. So
2:00:42
we packed it. Left
2:00:45
the house on the market. And
2:00:47
I moved to Irvine that week. And
2:00:50
I got an apartment in Irvine. And
2:00:53
I moved to Irvine to get
2:00:55
out of Santa Ana. I
2:00:57
think within a month we sold the house. Got
2:00:59
me money back and I made a few quid. And
2:01:03
then I set up buying another home in Irvine.
2:01:08
I put Kelly in school. And
2:01:10
I just carried on and carried on. And
2:01:14
then. I
2:01:19
kept in touch with Brody in England. And
2:01:26
I decided to one
2:01:29
day go back. So
2:01:33
got a few jobs, small
2:01:35
jobs as Butler. And
2:01:39
one was on the coast. And
2:01:42
on his county for these multi-millionaires St. John
2:01:44
Knits. And
2:01:47
I ran their own for them. Kobe Bryant lived next door to them. Basketball
2:01:51
player. Just to
2:01:53
say hello to Kobe now and again. And
2:01:56
it didn't work out that job. And
2:01:59
I just carried on. on, just
2:02:01
carried on with me life doing the window cleaning and
2:02:06
then I just put Kelly
2:02:08
in school, private school, carried
2:02:11
on and
2:02:14
then I decided the
2:02:17
years were getting on I decided I'd go home. 1996.
2:02:23
1986, yeah and
2:02:28
no put was after that. You're
2:02:34
going to file a lawsuit against the Catholic Church?
2:02:36
Yeah, yeah. So
2:02:41
I decided to go to England, settled
2:02:44
down bought another home on Irvine and
2:02:50
I goes home but
2:02:53
I had a problem. I
2:02:56
was working on a home and there
2:02:59
was $300,000 come missing out of
2:03:01
an account. So
2:03:07
I had this house where I was like
2:03:10
the butler manager and
2:03:13
it was on the in Irvine on the
2:03:15
lake and
2:03:20
this London crew came in and
2:03:22
they were fixing the house or putting new cabinets
2:03:25
in, putting all the stuff
2:03:27
in, new carpets
2:03:33
and I
2:03:36
was in charge so
2:03:40
the next one won the FBI surrounded the
2:03:42
house and
2:03:46
stopped me and
2:03:49
took me into the Irvine Police Department and
2:03:54
said what's
2:03:56
going on? from
2:04:00
the yellow pages, they'd gone in and
2:04:03
they took 300,000 out of this account.
2:04:09
And they said to me, was any of them checks go to
2:04:11
you, Terry? I went no. So
2:04:14
what they would insinuate in terms that
2:04:16
I was the facilitator? Conspiracy. Conspiracy
2:04:19
to facilitate. The
2:04:22
FBI had said to me, if
2:04:24
we thought that you had anything but this case, we'd
2:04:27
arrest you right now and
2:04:29
they never arrested
2:04:31
me. So
2:04:34
I decided to get out of the way a little bit. I
2:04:38
decided to travel to
2:04:41
England. And
2:04:43
I went to England. And...

2:05:50
was with Kelly. I'm
2:05:53
my brother. I'm staying at my brother's. And...
2:06:00
we were going to Southport and
2:06:08
as we were driving I said
2:06:11
to my brother, stuff over here at
2:06:14
this home I want to show Kelly where
2:06:16
it was when I went to school it
2:06:18
was St George's approved school. So
2:06:21
he goes on the yard and
2:06:23
my brother got all nervous he
2:06:27
got really nervous and
2:06:29
he went no you've got to get off of here you've
2:06:32
got to get off. Next
2:06:35
thing we
2:06:40
got off and he was in the car and he was
2:06:42
dead nervous and he went
2:06:44
to funded investigation I
2:06:48
said what for? He said
2:06:52
they've all been arrested
2:06:54
for sexual abuse then
2:06:57
he said to me the police are
2:06:59
looking for you the
2:07:03
police are looking for you so
2:07:08
I decided we had our lunch it was playing on my
2:07:10
mind I had a bottle of
2:07:12
champagne so I
2:07:15
decided to get in touch with the police but
2:07:20
before I did that I'd gone
2:07:22
to Brody and
2:07:26
I asked him to do a search warrant before
2:07:31
I did it. He
2:07:33
does the search warrant in his office and
2:07:37
they had stamped on it, agent
2:07:41
either them or the police I paid
2:07:45
25 pounds for
2:07:47
the Department of Prosecutions
2:07:54
we went and had a cup of tea, I mean
2:07:56
Rob Brody, it
2:07:58
came back No
2:08:04
warrants. He
2:08:06
just looked at me and said, I told you, didn't I, to
2:08:09
stay away. I was
2:08:12
exonerated. I went
2:08:14
bang. Now
2:08:17
the police on the whittle was set up by Operation
2:08:21
Care. They
2:08:23
were set up. Went
2:08:27
to see some lawyers and
2:08:29
I got involved with
2:08:31
suing the
2:08:34
Nugent Care Society, which
2:08:37
is formerly the Catholic Church, on
2:08:39
three of the homes. St.
2:08:42
George's, St.
2:08:45
Haydn's and St. Joseph's, where
2:08:48
I'd saved 12 years for
2:08:51
the mental abuse and physical
2:08:53
abuse. And then there
2:08:56
was a lot of sexual abuse that
2:08:58
most of them were arrested. Most
2:09:02
of them. So when Operation
2:09:04
Care came to me, Operation
2:09:06
Care, they came to me and they interviewed
2:09:08
me. All the
2:09:10
children hadn't seen each other for 30 odd years.
2:09:17
And I had said to them, is everybody
2:09:19
telling the story right? They went yes.
2:09:24
So then we had to get in touch with the solicitors.
2:09:27
Cantor Jackson, then there
2:09:29
was other solicitors in Manchester. So
2:09:32
many of them were
2:09:35
involved. And that started. That
2:09:37
was taking like 14 years of my life
2:09:39
up to
2:09:42
sue them. Backwards
2:09:44
and forwards to England. It
2:09:48
was a holy nightmare. And
2:09:54
I'd gone back and they
2:09:56
wanted me back again. back
2:10:02
and then it
2:10:04
really got heavy. He
2:10:08
told me that I had to go to Rampton
2:10:13
Hospital for
2:10:15
the currently insane to
2:10:20
see three forensic psychiatrists. I
2:10:25
drove to Rampton as an outpatient and
2:10:29
I sat in the room with three
2:10:31
psychiatrists that was assigned by
2:10:33
the court. They were for
2:10:35
the court, they weren't for me. That
2:10:41
was their defence.
2:10:44
I'd gone in with them. My plan
2:10:49
was the first question
2:10:51
I had for them, have
2:10:53
you seen the reports from 1981? Dr. Messina, Dr.
2:11:02
Nelson and Dr. Ralph
2:11:04
Obleh and
2:11:07
they said yes. In them
2:11:09
reports it was
2:11:11
said I was misused, I
2:11:14
was abused in
2:11:17
the homes.
2:11:20
They had no way
2:11:22
that they could defend their own
2:11:24
attorneys. The
2:11:28
interview lasted six hours and
2:11:31
I actually said to Dr. Millen, what
2:11:34
are you looking for? He
2:11:36
said we're looking for split personality because
2:11:40
of the abuse you
2:11:43
would get a split personality and
2:11:47
I said I don't have that. So
2:11:51
he said to me, you've done the
2:11:53
Beck's inventory, haven't you, Sherry? And
2:11:58
I went, yeah. The
2:12:00
Bex inventory is a scale of
2:12:05
psychological and psychology with
2:12:08
the levels of anxiety and
2:12:10
the levels of depression. Either
2:12:14
moderate, high or
2:12:17
extremely high. Mine
2:12:19
came in extremely high with
2:12:22
the score. To one
2:12:24
that score, that meant
2:12:27
that I had to be hospitalised. So
2:12:33
Dr. Millen had said to me, Teddy,
2:12:36
it looks like you need to
2:12:38
go into hospital. And
2:12:42
I said to him, no, I'm
2:12:44
going to be alright. I said
2:12:48
it's because of this case now. And
2:12:55
he let me go. He
2:12:58
let me go. I calmed down and
2:13:01
the lawsuit took about
2:13:04
14 years. I went
2:13:06
through it. But
2:13:10
in the meantime, I was
2:13:12
getting angry and then I was sent to
2:13:14
the NHS in Manchester for
2:13:17
another evaluation. Each
2:13:21
school had a
2:13:23
psychological and a psychiatric evaluation.
2:13:28
Then I was sent to the NHS, the
2:13:31
social services, to be
2:13:33
evaluated again. Basically,
2:13:36
the three evaluations had come up
2:13:41
all the same. Severe
2:13:46
chronic post-traumatic stress
2:13:48
disorder, which
2:13:51
meant I had to be hospitalised. But
2:13:56
I was functional in the world. and
2:14:00
they were concerned about me. So
2:14:04
I just got on with it. So
2:14:08
throughout them 14 years, I
2:14:11
decided to get a
2:14:13
doctorate in Nunch County. His
2:14:16
name was Dr. Daniel Eamon that
2:14:19
he represented the NFL for
2:14:23
the head injuries to
2:14:25
prove my case against the Nugent
2:14:27
Care Society. I
2:14:33
paid approximately $5,000 to
2:14:37
be examined. Now
2:14:39
it wasn't an examination where it
2:14:41
was talking to a psychiatrist or
2:14:46
a cognitive psychotherapist.
2:14:51
This was machines that would go inside
2:14:53
the brain, the
2:14:56
left lobe, the right lobe, and
2:14:58
they'd have all these machines and they could see it. And
2:15:01
actually, in
2:15:04
the imagela in the brain and
2:15:07
the perpetual glands, they
2:15:11
could see all the anxiety
2:15:13
in the brain. And
2:15:18
Dr. Daniel Eamon is one of the best in the world. So
2:15:21
he did my brain and he came out and he said to
2:15:23
me, you suffered from... Then
2:15:27
he also gave tests for ADD and
2:15:30
ADHAD and bipolar
2:15:32
disorder. And
2:15:35
it came up that he was ADD,
2:15:40
ADHD, post-traumatic
2:15:43
stress disorder, bad
2:15:47
intrusive thoughts and
2:15:49
psychothermia. So
2:15:53
in the factory of bipolar, you
2:15:56
have a mental illness. You
2:16:00
have bipolar 1, bipolar
2:16:02
2. Psychophamia
2:16:07
is a mild bipolar. So
2:16:13
he sent me to a
2:16:16
professor of psychiatry, Dr.
2:16:21
Mark Zeaton, who
2:16:24
renowned best professor
2:16:26
in California to
2:16:28
be examined, to
2:16:30
support my case. He
2:16:34
examines me, cost me thousands
2:16:38
to prove my case against the church. While
2:16:43
that was going on, the police
2:16:45
had given information
2:16:47
to a
2:16:49
guy called Christian Wahlmer, who
2:16:53
wrote a book on the history
2:16:56
of the abuse in children's homes. We've
2:16:59
interviewed him. Have
2:17:03
you? Yeah. Do you remember? He
2:17:07
featured in our Jimmy Savile documentary. Did he?
2:17:09
Oh my God. Here
2:17:12
is a word from today's sponsor, Aura.
2:17:41
Aura also monitors your emails and passwords to see if they were involved in a
2:17:43
data breach
2:18:00
and exposed on the dark web and
2:18:02
gives you the recommendations on what to do.
2:18:05
Aura has almost every internet safety tool
2:18:07
you'll ever need all inside one app.
2:18:11
Well let me elaborate on
2:18:13
this. Please do, yes. Yes, it's
2:18:16
coincidence isn't it? Yeah. Absolutely beautiful
2:18:18
man. Yeah.
2:18:20
So the police in the
2:18:23
care. Operation
2:18:27
of Care had told them the
2:18:29
most strongest man we've got is Tennant Smuggan.
2:18:34
He's a survival, he hasn't died.
2:18:39
He's the greatest and he
2:18:42
has more mental strength than most people. So
2:18:45
Christian Wellmark calls me and
2:18:48
he wrote the book The Forgotten Children. All
2:18:52
about the care homes. And
2:18:57
we're building this rapport backwards and forwards. And
2:19:02
he asked me questions, Teddy is it true? And
2:19:07
I said of course it is. I
2:19:11
wouldn't ask. I said the only way that it wouldn't be true.
2:19:15
If there's a kid that's doing
2:19:17
a life sentence, would
2:19:19
he be injured by in the care
2:19:22
home? Would
2:19:25
he want to get back at his paper tray and
2:19:28
say it was him and get him? And
2:19:31
I couldn't see that. I
2:19:34
could have said things to Christian. I
2:19:37
could have said things to Operation
2:19:40
Care where I said that I was raped. By
2:19:45
certain men that would
2:19:47
have been arrested for rape.
2:19:52
I could have said things but I just told the truth. I
2:19:56
could never get a man to say that he raped me. And
2:19:58
then... he would get a
2:20:01
life sentence or a 20 year sentence. And
2:20:04
that was the situation in one of the cases where
2:20:07
Christian was asking me. So
2:20:10
I became friends with Christian and
2:20:12
I was sending them emails backwards and
2:20:15
forwards. I was actually going to bring them
2:20:17
and show you them, but I thought
2:20:19
I'd give you sufficient evidence in my life
2:20:23
and I do have them. So I kept
2:20:25
in touch with him and he's from London and
2:20:28
then he became a member of Parliament. And
2:20:32
I kept in touch with him. So I wrote
2:20:34
a story of my life and
2:20:36
I wrote a poem and
2:20:39
it was about pain from when I
2:20:41
was a child. And
2:20:44
I'd sent him the
2:20:46
pain of my life. Each year
2:20:51
was significant to pain, what
2:20:54
I'd gone through. And
2:20:57
he had said to me, I have never in
2:21:00
my life met anyone like
2:21:03
you. He
2:21:05
said, Teddy, keep going. Keep
2:21:07
going, my friends. And
2:21:10
then I found out later he became a member of Parliament. And
2:21:13
sometimes I often think about sending
2:21:16
him an email. And
2:21:18
I think he wrote some books from that. I've
2:21:21
got his email if you want it. Yeah, I have
2:21:23
his email. Yeah, I've got his
2:21:26
email. Isn't that coincidental?
2:21:28
Yeah. That is really coincidental. We went
2:21:30
to the house in London, really lovely guy. Yeah,
2:21:33
that's beautiful. Lovely man,
2:21:35
national supporter. I
2:21:37
was supposed to meet him in Wales in 2001 when
2:21:40
Liverpool played in Cardiff and
2:21:42
it didn't work out. Yeah,
2:21:46
so I just went on and then... And
2:21:50
then I came across another incident when
2:21:54
I was going to see a friend when...
2:22:00
I was having my lunch with Operation Care in
2:22:02
the city centre and
2:22:09
he told me some stories and
2:22:13
I said I can elaborate on that. And
2:22:16
one was a guy who was, his
2:22:19
name was Williams, he
2:22:21
was the former headmaster
2:22:25
of St George's. When
2:22:28
I was there it was Mr Hickey. So
2:22:31
I'd gone to see a friend up in Southport
2:22:35
and I told him I was filing, joining
2:22:37
the lawsuit, a class action lawsuit and
2:22:42
he said to me, what
2:22:46
lawsuit? He
2:22:49
said I was in their home. He
2:22:56
said I was in there two years before you and
2:22:59
he said the headmaster's name was Williams.
2:23:04
I said I've just spoke about him, he's going to
2:23:06
be arrested and
2:23:10
he actually told me that
2:23:12
he'd been raped. So
2:23:20
I said to him, I said he lives
2:23:23
in Fornby, this guy.
2:23:25
So I
2:23:30
organised a plan, that I
2:23:33
was kidnapping, get
2:23:37
him and
2:23:41
I was scaring my friend a little bit. I had
2:23:46
these what you call intrusive thoughts that I was
2:23:48
going to get him, go
2:23:51
in his house at night, tie him
2:23:53
up, put him in the boot of the car
2:23:57
and then I was going to put a rope around his neck.
2:24:00
I was going to tie her to the car, and
2:24:02
I was going to drive him down the street at 50,
2:24:04
60 miles an hour. I
2:24:06
was going to kill him. But
2:24:09
I always remember that I'd counsel him from a
2:24:12
doctor in California, Caroline
2:24:16
Way, and she said
2:24:18
to me, "'Teddy,
2:24:20
they're going to get what's coming to them.
2:24:24
"'They will get what's coming to them.' And
2:24:31
I pulled out, and she said, "'You need peace. "'What
2:24:34
goes around will come around.' Unfortunately,
2:24:37
this man was never arrested. He
2:24:40
was too old, and the
2:24:42
statue of limitations had
2:24:45
ran out in time with
2:24:47
him. Often
2:24:49
the case. Yeah. And
2:24:52
eventually, the case was settled.
2:24:57
Well, actually, they'd
2:25:00
done two trials in London. Case A and case
2:25:03
B, boy A and boy B. And
2:25:05
what they found, they found them guilty. And
2:25:11
the judge went back and said, "'You've got to settle the cases.' But
2:25:14
the cases, at the time, put you
2:25:16
in a case where
2:25:21
there's different levels of violence and
2:25:26
different levels of abuse, where
2:25:31
it gives you the statue of how much money you're going
2:25:33
to get, what you're going to get. In
2:25:40
my case, it was, they'd offered
2:25:42
me £22,000. If I
2:25:44
would have known this in the beginning, I
2:25:47
wouldn't have been part of the lawsuit. There
2:25:50
was no way. I
2:25:52
wouldn't have done it. I wouldn't have done it.
2:25:54
But one of the reasons why I did it was
2:25:57
to change the system in Britain. that
2:26:01
they couldn't touch any children in
2:26:03
the future. Good. And
2:26:06
the law had changed that they couldn't touch
2:26:08
actually a child ever again.
2:26:12
And the laws were changed. And
2:26:16
we, it
2:26:18
took me all them years. It
2:26:21
was how an effect. And
2:26:24
then you know I had a lot of bad
2:26:27
things going through my head. But I
2:26:29
just, I just got on with it. And
2:26:31
got over it. It was still there.
2:26:35
And we got a lousy 22,000 quid.
2:26:40
Yeah. Absolutely
2:26:43
ridiculous. Yeah.
2:26:46
And probably today in Britain it still is going on. I
2:26:49
don't know what go was on today. Could
2:26:52
they get slaps on the wrist? There's no, some
2:26:54
join the church because they know they'll just get the
2:26:56
high price lawyers to protect them. Yeah. So
2:27:00
it became a point when temptation,
2:27:03
you refused some
2:27:06
criminal underworld members from Liverpool tried to get you
2:27:08
back. Yeah. I'd
2:27:11
gone back to Liverpool and
2:27:16
it was constant temptation
2:27:19
from crime families. And
2:27:21
a lot of them have become millionaires to importation.
2:27:28
So I decided to go to eat
2:27:31
meat, ate them in New York City to
2:27:36
see what it was all about. That
2:27:38
was the temptation. So
2:27:41
I went to New York and stayed at the Marriott
2:27:44
marquee. And
2:27:47
our alibi was to go and watch a fight. It
2:27:52
was Princeton Seam versus Kevin
2:27:54
Kelly at
2:27:57
Madison Square Garden. I
2:28:00
booked the eight of the men, ones of
2:28:02
my name, ones of
2:28:04
my credit cards to protect them. So
2:28:10
it didn't. And
2:28:14
what he had was like incredible. Open
2:28:18
Sedendid smuggled about 25 million in through
2:28:25
Morocco, through
2:28:30
South America and etc. And
2:28:34
I was looking at them. I knew
2:28:37
three of them. I didn't
2:28:39
know five of them, but they dared of me. And
2:28:42
the other three had said, no, there's only one man. It's
2:28:46
Ceti Morgan. That's
2:28:48
what they thought. And
2:28:51
what was my position? Investor,
2:28:57
carry money, negotiator.
2:29:03
So I sat with them. And
2:29:09
it was a bit crazy. $6,000 rounds
2:29:11
of Cristal observations,
2:29:16
just watching them. And
2:29:19
one of them, I told them one of them, I
2:29:22
said, these are the, these
2:29:24
five that you've got, I've never
2:29:27
robbed a bar of fucking Charlie. I'd
2:29:30
have a shot. And
2:29:33
all of a sudden, they've got
2:29:35
big homes. They've got everything.
2:29:38
I said, tell you what, lad, I
2:29:41
would not like to get caught with these five.
2:29:44
Because you're fucking going down, lad. You're
2:29:47
going down big time. So
2:29:50
my advice is get away from them and
2:29:53
go on your own. And
2:29:55
stay with the other guys that we know from when we were
2:29:57
kids. Um. and
2:30:01
eventually they would get
2:30:05
it. Five million would go missing. So
2:30:10
they asked me to come fly
2:30:12
me home to Liverpool and
2:30:15
I said, I'd left them in New York, made
2:30:18
no decision, flew back
2:30:21
to Liverpool and
2:30:24
I'd met in a hotel in Liverpool, sat
2:30:27
with them again. The guy
2:30:29
asked me to take
2:30:33
650,000 quid to
2:30:35
Spain with one
2:30:38
of the guys that
2:30:40
I knew. That's what
2:30:42
let me think about it. The
2:30:47
only person I ever thought about was Kelly. I
2:30:53
thought about Kelly and
2:31:00
I just went like that I went, no
2:31:03
I can't do it. And
2:31:06
it's very hard for a man like me to say that,
2:31:09
but I've got me life and
2:31:11
I've got me daughter so
2:31:14
I declined it. So anyway he took
2:31:16
the money, one of them down to
2:31:18
Spain and I'd been asked to go to Spain and
2:31:20
one of them got caught. He got
2:31:25
ten years, got
2:31:31
ten years and I
2:31:33
went like that. I went home that night and
2:31:36
I was staying with my sister-in-law and
2:31:40
I've known her since she was young and
2:31:43
her dad and
2:31:45
she looked at me and
2:31:47
I'd been in the city centre and I'd had a suit
2:31:49
on and a combi and
2:31:52
I walked in the door and she
2:31:54
said to me, where
2:31:58
have you been? And she would not be there. never
2:32:00
say that to me. To
2:32:03
an I know where you've been. She
2:32:07
pointed and she went it's not for you. Look
2:32:11
at you. You're a
2:32:13
smart man. She
2:32:20
put them words into my head. She was the one that I
2:32:22
listened to. Never listened to my wife. Never
2:32:25
listened to any of the gangsters. But
2:32:27
I listened to her and she meant it.
2:32:30
She said you've got a lovely daughter. And it was
2:32:32
the what it was how she said it to me. She
2:32:35
said look at you. She said
2:32:38
you're a lovely man. And
2:32:41
then I pulled out. Later
2:32:44
on in life.
2:32:46
I'd met
2:32:49
and know some of the
2:32:52
families. And you
2:32:57
know the showers. The
2:33:00
lambs. We've had Michael showers
2:33:02
on. Yeah. I met Michael.
2:33:04
I drove in his Rolls Royce for them. At
2:33:08
Jenny McGivens funeral. I've
2:33:11
never seen a crowd of gangsters
2:33:14
together ever. Yeah. I was
2:33:17
in the front seat with Michael in his Rolls Royce.
2:33:20
Yeah. And Jenny died. And one of
2:33:24
the guys when I was a kid was one
2:33:28
of the most powerful families is the Whitney family.
2:33:32
Les Whitney. He was my best
2:33:34
mate when I was young.
2:33:37
And I'm surprised all
2:33:40
his family become one of the most feeders.
2:33:45
Talk to you. Importation.
2:33:49
Who's Chester Hanks. Oh
2:33:52
Chester. Chester
2:33:56
Hanks is the son of
2:33:58
Tom Hanks. What
2:34:07
happened on the 101? I've been on the 101 many
2:34:09
times. Oh
2:34:15
my dear. God.
2:34:20
Well I've just been over to Glendale and
2:34:26
I've gone to a Japanese restaurant. And
2:34:33
I was with some
2:34:35
friends and
2:34:39
I decided to get back early because it was
2:34:43
Friday. It was Friday the 13th. Friday
2:34:49
the 13th. So
2:34:53
I get on the freeway and
2:34:55
drive and I've always told them to say these for the
2:34:59
if you got it in
2:35:01
LA you know it will protect you. That's
2:35:03
well built. So
2:35:08
get on the 101. Well
2:35:11
actually it's the the 34 Glendale to the
2:35:17
101 to the 110. So
2:35:20
I got blocked in and I couldn't get on. It
2:35:22
was that bad the traffic. So.
2:35:28

2:36:29
I'm driving.
2:36:32
I can't get in. I've been pushed onto the 110
2:36:35
through my downtown Los Angeles. And
2:36:40
I look to the right on the off-ramp.
2:36:42
I see this car coming on and he's in
2:36:45
and out, in and out, in and out, in
2:36:47
and out. And
2:36:49
I went. I was watching him and
2:36:53
I thought I
2:36:55
bet he's gonna hit me. He's
2:37:00
gonna hit me. Anyway
2:37:04
he comes behind me and
2:37:06
the traffic's slowing. I'm
2:37:09
slowing down. I'm watching him. I took
2:37:11
my eyes off him. Clang.
2:37:13
All of a sudden he hits me. Smashes
2:37:17
right into me. I
2:37:20
goes forward but I kept
2:37:22
my distance in front of the car
2:37:24
because I just knew this was gonna
2:37:26
happen. So
2:37:34
my head went back. I came
2:37:36
forwards. They
2:37:38
said that I did the dashboard
2:37:41
TMZ that
2:37:44
made this and I didn't. I banged my head.
2:37:46
I went forwards and
2:37:48
it banged my neck and this
2:37:50
arm getting hold of it so I think I've
2:37:52
nerve damage. So
2:37:58
gets off the freeway. out
2:38:00
just now. Big
2:38:03
kid, Jig has tattoos
2:38:07
all over him, pulls
2:38:11
over, tried to elk him, said
2:38:13
you don't like me? He
2:38:15
said yeah I'm alright, yeah man and all this,
2:38:18
you know, lucky gangster. And
2:38:21
he had the most audible attitude I've ever seen in my
2:38:23
life. So
2:38:25
I looked at him, said give
2:38:27
me his documents and
2:38:30
he went, hey
2:38:34
man don't call the police. I
2:38:36
said no man I won't call the police, I
2:38:39
don't do that. I said
2:38:41
leave that card there and I said call your parents. I didn't know
2:38:43
at the time who he was, I didn't
2:38:47
know who the fuck he was. So
2:38:49
next thing, get
2:38:54
in the car with him. I've seen
2:38:57
all the cocaine, seen
2:39:00
all the marijuana, and
2:39:03
I went, you're loaded aren't you?
2:39:08
And he went, don't
2:39:10
call the police man, I've got anxiety. So
2:39:18
get all the documents, photo
2:39:21
the lot of them. That
2:39:23
didn't take much of body. Then
2:39:26
I decided to go to the hospital in Irvine, finally
2:39:29
get to the hospital. But as I'm going in the hospital
2:39:31
it gets a call from an insurance company. Who
2:39:35
are you? I said
2:39:37
Mr. Mugen. I
2:39:40
said who did you get hit by? I
2:39:43
said Chester thanks. Well
2:39:46
what's wrong with you? I said I don't know I'm going in the
2:39:48
hospital. I don't know any injuries. I'm
2:39:51
just going into the emergency room now. Well
2:39:54
can we take a statement now? I said no you can't. they
2:40:00
knew. So
2:40:02
that put red flags up
2:40:04
in my head. So
2:40:07
anyway, what happened to John was
2:40:11
I just carried on and
2:40:14
then my
2:40:18
neck got worse. So
2:40:21
basically I went to a neuroshaging. One of
2:40:26
the best. He was from John Hopkins
2:40:30
and you've got to be the best. So
2:40:33
what he's done, he looked at the MRI and
2:40:36
he looked at it and he said to
2:40:38
me, you need surgery on your neck. And
2:40:43
I was, really? He
2:40:46
said, yeah, the disc has
2:40:48
come out five millimeters. Now
2:40:53
everybody gets arthritis. Everybody gets problems with
2:40:55
the neck. But
2:40:57
I never had this problem. People
2:41:02
get dyspulges. But, exaggerates
2:41:06
the, that's what it's done.
2:41:12
So anyway, we went to New Ford Beach and
2:41:17
got these attainees. Next
2:41:21
thing, they've done
2:41:23
these checks on the car and
2:41:27
they said to me, you know, wants this car, don't you? I
2:41:31
said, no. Said some thanks.
2:41:35
He's responsible. So
2:41:43
what he's done was he's filing a lawsuit
2:41:45
against them. Him,
2:41:49
his wife, and Chester. Oh,
2:41:55
next thing, they file a lawsuit and
2:41:58
I'm down in Laguna Beach. And
2:42:02
I'm walking down the beach and a
2:42:05
guy walks past me and
2:42:07
he goes, Teddy, you're on the
2:42:10
news. So I kept
2:42:12
my head down, I kept walking and I went, oh
2:42:14
no, here we go. Next
2:42:17
thing I get a call, Santa Monica
2:42:19
from my niece and
2:42:21
she goes, Teddy, you're all over TMZ.
2:42:25
And I went, what?
2:42:29
And you're all over the news.
2:42:33
So what happened is then I called
2:42:35
Kelly and
2:42:37
I said to her, will
2:42:39
you meet me in Coon
2:42:43
as El Mar? It's
2:42:46
between Laguna Beach and New Port. It's
2:42:48
a very lovely, isolated, one of the best places in the world
2:42:50
to live it is. A lot
2:42:52
of movie stars live and Basket Kobe
2:42:55
lives down there and all them. Oh,
2:42:57
Tiger. Tiger was an old
2:42:59
friend of mine, Tiger Woods. He
2:43:02
used to have me breakfast with him. So
2:43:06
we go down there and
2:43:11
I said, so Kelly, get the news off. I
2:43:14
said, can you Google Tom Hanks? I
2:43:20
said, put the two of us in together. So
2:43:23
next thing it's spreading all over the world.
2:43:27
It's going everywhere. Oh,
2:43:32
it's going like wildfire. I
2:43:34
said, Dad, look at
2:43:36
this. And at the
2:43:39
time I felt terrible, but it
2:43:41
was just a way of sending
2:43:43
a message. Even
2:43:45
though you're not a film star, you
2:43:48
cannot give the keys to
2:43:50
a child who's under the
2:43:52
influence of alcohol and drugs. So
2:43:57
the case went on and... Next
2:44:02
thing, it
2:44:05
got heavy. You
2:44:07
know, we was going into restaurants
2:44:09
with Steven Spielberg and the
2:44:11
rap came in and they were asking questions
2:44:14
and they were blowing it up on E
2:44:16
News and Huffington
2:44:18
Post. And
2:44:20
it was like ridiculous really, just media. And
2:44:24
I felt sorry for Thomas. So
2:44:27
I came in and I've
2:44:30
met his lawyers and we've done these depositions and
2:44:33
they were sort of threatening me in a way, you know, oh
2:44:35
no, it was only this. I said no, I
2:44:37
said we'll go to the jury. We'll
2:44:40
take you to the jury. And
2:44:43
then finally I was, after
2:44:45
the deposition I read in the news that he
2:44:49
decided, Steven Malowski, to tell
2:44:52
the news that my
2:44:55
case will be settled
2:44:57
in the future. And he told the
2:44:59
Daily Mirror that
2:45:03
it was exaggerated and
2:45:06
it was just, because Chester a few
2:45:08
months before just came out of rehab
2:45:11
and he threatened how it's staying with a
2:45:14
gun. He'd
2:45:16
done all this and
2:45:19
he used the N word and
2:45:21
he was just absolutely crazy with drugs. And
2:45:23
then he'd done a video saying that he
2:45:26
was, I just nodded more coke up my
2:45:28
nose than anybody. And
2:45:31
you know, it was bad news for Tom
2:45:34
and Rita, especially Rita, his mother.
2:45:37
So what happened is I had a bit of trouble
2:45:40
with the lawyers and
2:45:42
then we came to an agreement that
2:45:44
we would go
2:45:47
to a courthouse in
2:45:49
San Diego to
2:45:52
do a mediation and
2:45:55
settle the case. We
2:46:01
went there and it lasted 12 hours and I sort
2:46:03
of, I could have kept it going
2:46:07
and kept it going and kept it going but
2:46:09
I thought no this has got to end here and
2:46:12
I always thought about the better man and
2:46:15
I thought about Tom Anksen Rita and
2:46:19
luckily he hadn't been
2:46:21
in trouble and we
2:46:23
settled the case. Good. And
2:46:25
we signed an agreement. We're
2:46:30
going to finish then on how your life is
2:46:32
now Terry but my stomach's rumbling. Can you just
2:46:34
get past me a banana and a Coro bar?
2:46:36
Someone, thanks. So how is your life now?
2:46:39
It's still going. Yeah, yeah. We're still going.
2:46:41
Yeah, yeah. Not bad.
2:46:43
It's not bad. Except
2:46:48
for the surgeries I had been, they had
2:46:51
limited me and I'm
2:46:54
not doing bad, I'm alive. Doing
2:46:57
okay. Living on this county.
2:47:00
You know, an airline's not too
2:47:03
bad and I hope maybe
2:47:05
one day to come back to Britain
2:47:07
and do some work
2:47:09
with some institutions here or
2:47:12
represent some companies in public speaking
2:47:15
for children
2:47:17
who've lost their way in life and
2:47:22
mental illness is, I'm pretty well educated on
2:47:25
mental illness from all the doctors I've
2:47:27
met in my life and
2:47:29
a lot of people don't know about it and
2:47:31
how to just go around it and
2:47:33
how to keep fit and how to control it and
2:47:37
actually to get the right diagnosis, a
2:47:39
lot of people are misdiagnosed. That's
2:47:42
the problem. So just enjoying my
2:47:44
life with Kelly and
2:47:47
you know, CNN now and again and so
2:47:51
life's pretty good. Would you ever drive up
2:47:53
Nolan's lane? Um,
2:47:57
actually, no. I
2:48:00
go up to Liverpool I'll be in
2:48:02
witness because Alan, me nephew lives there
2:48:05
so I'll be going that area. It
2:48:08
doesn't bother me anymore you know it's
2:48:10
just it's part of life. I've
2:48:12
grown to that. How does it feel
2:48:14
telling your story for the first time? Yeah
2:48:17
it's a lot of work. That's a
2:48:19
lot of work and I
2:48:22
just want people to know is get
2:48:24
a message that life of time doesn't pay for
2:48:27
nobody for well especially what I've been through
2:48:30
and I was suffered to end my
2:48:32
life. It's been
2:48:34
devastating but the
2:48:37
mental strength and I've survived basically
2:48:39
in my life and
2:48:42
I'd look if people do see this that
2:48:45
I hope it gives them some help and
2:48:47
some closure to their life to realize that
2:48:49
they're not going through as bad as things
2:48:51
is what I went through and
2:48:54
you know to go on the run for all them years it is
2:48:58
devastating. What about young
2:49:00
people watching this who might have gangsteritis? Oh
2:49:03
if you've got gangsteritis forget about it so
2:49:05
what you want in life? Do you
2:49:08
want the cuffs on or do you want them off? Because
2:49:11
once the cuffs are on you can't get
2:49:13
them off. So you choose
2:49:15
I would have a campaign actually
2:49:18
Terry Mugen cuffs on cuffs off.
2:49:22
I think that'd be a good campaign in Britain. Definitely.
2:49:24
Would you like that? Yeah. I think
2:49:26
that I came up with that idea this morning in
2:49:28
bed cuffs on or
2:49:31
cuffs off no
2:49:34
cuffs on. I
2:49:36
always believed in nobody talks about the
2:49:38
Ten Commandments I
2:49:40
always believed as 11th one and
2:49:43
I always preach it. Would you have any idea
2:49:45
what it is? 11th
2:49:48
Commandment anyone got any ideas? Don't
2:50:01
get involved in drugs. No. Don't
2:50:04
get caught. The 11
2:50:06
commandments don't get caught.
2:50:10
So remember, don't get caught.
2:50:13
Cuffs on, they're gonna stay on. Cuffs
2:50:16
off, they're gonna stay off. Gang
2:50:19
members, you'll be in a cell. You
2:50:22
stab someone, you're gonna be in
2:50:24
a lonely cell for the rest of your life. The
2:50:28
outside will forget about you and then you've got
2:50:30
to deal with the governments, the
2:50:33
British government that is gonna step down
2:50:35
and you don't know what they're gonna store for you.
2:50:38
So, the easy life,
2:50:42
don't get caught, get educated,
2:50:48
send a family, raise, well,
2:50:51
go to somebody, talk to them.
2:50:54
You could actually even go to a psychologist or
2:50:57
someone and tell them your problems unless
2:51:00
you've got these problems that
2:51:02
you want to kill someone or something like that.
2:51:05
Don't do it for you young children out
2:51:07
there today. Do not
2:51:09
do it, please. And can
2:51:12
people watching this reach out to you
2:51:15
on social media or anything? Yeah, I've
2:51:17
got a beautiful Instagram. It's
2:51:20
called the Hollywood Butler. It's all black
2:51:22
and white. You can go to it. You
2:51:24
can send me messages. You can follow me and
2:51:28
just look at some of the lives that I've
2:51:30
led and look at the significant
2:51:32
photos that they and the
2:51:34
marks underneath. And
2:51:37
I'm very fortunate. I've
2:51:39
had a good life even though it started
2:51:41
bad. Please let
