00:00Boom. Perfect timing.
00:04But if you want one that really kicks, check this out.
00:07It's the CurtzenCore 800 Music Workstation.
00:11Sweet.
00:12Full MIDI interface, 400 voices, 128 tracks, and 60 gigs of memory.
00:19How much for all this?
00:20You got a car? Sell it.
00:23Hey! I was gonna buy that.
00:25Well that's tough. I'm doing my own inventory.
00:28Dude, if he wants to buy the...
00:30Hey man, you don't work here.
00:33No fooling, Sherlock.
00:36Cool.
00:37Another metahuman freakout.
00:39Time for this hero to get on the ball.
00:44The Nang's Replicon.
00:46I can be anyone or anything.
00:49All I gotta do is this.
00:55Then I can squash you like a bug.
01:02Uh oh.
01:08Adam!
01:09Static.
01:10Adam? Marvin?
01:14You know each other?
01:15He and I were producing partners back in the day.
01:18Yo Marv, reality check.
01:20We were stock clerks at Stone Gas.
01:21A record store.
01:23We just jammed sometimes after work.
01:24Till I figured out he was all talk and no walk.
01:27Well why walk?
01:28When you can fly!
01:31What is that?
01:34What is that?
01:36Should've seen that though.
01:44Come on.
01:45He's getting away.
01:46Talk about heavy metal.
01:50Which way did he go?
01:52Don't know.
01:52You try the part.
01:56It's not easy to hide something that ugly.
02:03You can't catch me, fly boy.
02:11Whoa.
02:12Was that a yawn or an elephant mating call?
02:14Sorry man.
02:15I didn't get much sleep last night.
02:18Ah.
02:18All that overtime patrol, huh?
02:20That was nothing.
02:22I had to listen to Sharon play Adam's music all night long.
02:25My hands sore from banging on the wall.
02:27I thought you liked Adam's beats.
02:29My brother gets tired of hearing the same song over and over.
02:33Even country would've been a nice change of pace.
02:35And now you know what you can get Sharon for her birthday.
02:38A set of headphones.
02:39Yeah.
02:40And a muzzle.
02:44Days is?
02:45What are you doing?
02:46Mr. C told us to update the class website.
02:49With ten pages on the Backstreet Boys?
02:52We're not doing a fan magazine.
02:53We're supposed to be writing news.
02:55This is news.
02:56It's a feature article about the impact popular music has on society.
03:00We're just using the Backstreet Boys as an example.
03:03Click here for Nick's new haircut.
03:05Kevin and Brian's wedding.
03:07Howie's acting job.
03:08And of course, AJ's tattoos.
03:12Woo!
03:14You think we're just a couple of mindless giggling fans, don't you?
03:18You know, I find that insulting.
03:19Insulting and demeaning.
03:21Okay.
03:22Okay.
03:23Sorry.
03:23Honest.
03:24We apologize.
03:25Well, you'd better.
03:27Though, I do think AJ looks better with just the mustache.
03:31Definitely.
03:31In the pool, I don't mind.
03:32Well, I don't mind.
03:33Hey.
03:34Wait a minute.
03:38Ow.
03:41Open the jaw.
03:42Open the jaw.
03:47Everybody.
03:49Um.
03:52What kind of shabby, stupid food sandwich is back?
03:56This is Chef Virgin.
03:57Virgil, it's Adam.
03:58Is Sharon there?
03:59No, she's not.
04:00Can't you tell by my good mood?
04:03I lent Sharon my new demo CD, but I need it back.
04:05Now.
04:06Well, I can bring it.
04:11Adam?
04:13Okay, I'll give you the directions, but you gotta come by yourself, understand?
04:18This must be it.
04:21Why all the secrecy?
04:25Subrosa Studios, help me I direct your call.
04:27Subrosa Studios.
04:29One moment, please.
04:30Subrosa Studios.
04:31No, Mr. Biggs can be reached at D-Town Records.
04:35Subrosa Studios.
04:36Got the CD?
04:37Right here.
04:38Thanks, man.
04:39Catch you later.
04:40Aw, I didn't know there was a recording studio here.
04:42Uh, yeah.
04:42It's kind of a trade secret.
04:43Now, if you don't mind.
04:44Slow down.
04:45I wanna check it out.
04:47Yo, Adam.
04:48You got them tunes yet?
04:50Whoa.
04:50You're A.J. McClain.
04:52You're a Backstreet Boy.
04:54Right on both counts.
04:55Now, let me guess.
04:56You have all our CDs.
04:57Well, actually, no.
05:01But all the girls at school, they're crazy about you.
05:04That's cool.
05:05Well, I'll catch you later.
05:07One question.
05:08Why are you with him?
05:09We're thinking about using one of Adam's songs on our next CD.
05:13That's amazing.
05:15Look at you being big time, man.
05:18No way.
05:19Adam, this could be it for you, man.
05:22I know.
05:22That's why we gotta keep this on the down low.
05:24No one knows A.J. is in town, and I want it to stay that way.
05:27Got it.
05:28No problem.
05:29Trust me.
05:29My lips are sealed.
05:32Richie, you will not believe who I just saw.
05:34Are you serious, brother?
05:36Couldn't even last, like, until the end of the day.
05:39But, you know, there's something about guys named A.J.
05:43Last name MC.
05:46And being mega talented.
05:49There's just something about that.
05:54No, I'm telling you, he's gonna wanna see me.
05:57I got my demo right here.
05:59The name's Marvin Roper.
06:01I don't care if you're Stevie Wonder.
06:04You don't have an appointment, you don't see Mr. Biggs.
06:07Now leave the building, or we will have to call the police.
06:10Oh, yeah?
06:10Well, someday I'm gonna run this joint.
06:13And you two are gonna be sorry.
06:21Mr. Biggs?
06:22Hey, boys.
06:23Earning your pay?
06:24Keeping the riffraff out?
06:26Uh, yes, sir.
06:27Good.
06:28By the way, you're fired.
06:30What?
06:44Adam's got it, Lester.
06:45I'd sign him if I were you.
06:47That's high praise coming from A.J. McLean.
06:50Hi, Rita Velasquez, artist and relations.
06:53So, Adam, do you have a demo tape or a CD?
06:56Right here.
06:56I'm telling you, it's hot.
06:58I'll give it a listen and we'll talk later, okay?
07:02Excuse me.
07:03Yo, J-Lo!
07:05Thanks, man.
07:06Glad to help.
07:07I hope it all works out.
07:12Not if I can help you.
07:19And while the Backstreet Boys may not be fully appreciated by the sure reactionary, mm-hmm, peers, clearly they have
07:27become the preeminent musical performers of their generation.
07:30Still working on your Backstreet Boys shrine?
07:33We're busy, Richie.
07:35Eh, it's too bad, cause I know something about a certain group that you might want to hear.
07:39But, I ain't talking.
07:43So don't.
07:44What could you possibly know about the Backstreet Boys that we don't know?
07:48Two words.
07:50Location.
07:51What do you mean?
07:53Huh?
07:53I will say no more.
07:54Yep.
07:55Once I lock a secret in the old Foley vault, it stays locked.
07:58Mm-hmm.
08:00Well then, who's up for a cheeseburger?
08:06That's all you have to do?
08:10That's all you have to do to get Richie to spill a secret.
08:13Hey, we're eating in an hour.
08:15Yeah, I saw what you were making.
08:16I'm building up my strength.
08:19Oh, Daisy called.
08:21Something about a big scoop.
08:23Hey.
08:29What are you doing?
08:31Logging onto the class website?
08:33You can't do that.
08:34Uh, the whole site crashed.
08:35Trust me, there's nothing to see.
08:37The whole site crashed?
08:37Oh, really?
08:38Richie, let go of the chair.
08:40No.
08:41Uh, see, V, it's like this. You're with friends, you relax a little, next thing you know...
08:46Richie! You told him about AJ?
08:49Me?
08:49You told Richie about him.
08:50No, of course not.
08:51Informed sources indicate that AJ McLean is here in Dakota.
08:55Richie!
08:55That's another confirmed rumor. That's all.
08:57They posted the address of the recording studio.
09:00It's not my fault. Daisy and Frida, they forced me to talk. It was a double chili cheeseburger with grilled
09:05onions.
09:10Dude, he's acting like he got interrogated by Batman.
09:25I'm gonna get Virgil. I'm so gonna get him.
09:28Lester, we have a real situation here. What if they wrecked the studio?
09:31Think of the expense. Think of the lawsuits.
09:34Think of the publicity.
09:35In Dakota Today, AJ McLean and his new discovery, Adam Evans, were surrounded by devoted fans.
09:41Lester, cancel the call to 911. Let's send a photographer.
09:46There's a back way out. Lead on.
10:00That's him!
10:02Okay, let's be cool!
10:04Remember, we're members of the press.
10:06Right. Total professionals.
10:09Forget that.
10:16Run! I'll hold him back, if you say so.
10:35Wait! We're reporters!
10:38He's so cute!
10:40I know!
10:49Okay. I'm dead.
10:53We're never gonna...
10:58Thanks for getting me out of there, man.
11:00Guess you get a lot of fans, too.
11:02Oh, yeah. I can't keep them off me.
11:04Sure.
11:09So, you guys on tour or something?
11:11No, I'm here meeting with this songwriter, Adam Evans. You ever met him?
11:15Uh-huh. When he's not writing tunes, he's my, uh, sidekick. Rubber band man.
11:19That explains the purple underpants.
11:22Anyway, I think Adam's beats are on the one, and he's great to work with.
11:25Well, I might disagree about the work with part, but I gotta admit, I like Adam's music.
11:30Anyway, I better jet...
11:31Hey, he is good to work with.
11:33Uh, would you mind? It's for a friend.
11:36What's her name?
11:38Uh, just make it out to V.
11:41Thanks.
11:42Anytime.
11:43Don't lose it.
11:44See ya!
11:51What's up, AJ?
11:53Meet AJ.
11:55I can't believe you've lost Adam Evans and AJ McLean.
11:59I didn't lose them. They ran away.
12:01Ran where? How about right here, Lester, babe?
12:05AJ, where have you been?
12:07In my hotel room, chillin'.
12:09But I called and called.
12:11Then you must have called the wrong number, sweetie.
12:14Huh?
12:15See, I've been thinking over this Adam Evans thing, Lester.
12:18And you and me got called.
12:19Wait a minute. I recognize the voice anywhere.
12:20That's Malcolm Jamal Warner.
12:23Lester Biggs.
12:30Adam!
12:31Man, I'm sorry for running my big fat mouth about AJ.
12:34Especially to the one person with a bigger, fatter mouth than me.
12:38Hmm.
12:40Zip it, Virgil.
12:41Hey, I'm just trying to apologize.
12:43He doesn't want to hear it right now.
12:45Whatever.
12:46The deal's off.
12:47AJ doesn't like my stuff after all.
12:49What?
12:50That's what the record company said.
12:52I thought he was feeling me.
12:53But I was getting played like a sucker this whole time.
12:56I can't believe it.
12:57Your music's tight, Adam.
12:58There's got to be some mistake.
12:59Nah, this came straight from the horse's mouth.
13:04Adam!
13:06It's not AJ.
13:08It's the state shifter guy.
13:10One.
13:11I'm number one.
13:12I'm number one.
13:14One.
13:15Number one.
13:19One.
13:20Number one.
13:21I'm number one.
13:25So, what do you think there, Lesma man?
13:27Slamming, right?
13:29Uh, it's not quite what I thought it was going to be.
13:32I hear you, LB.
13:33It gets better and better every time I hear it, too.
13:35That's not what I mean.
13:37Do you really like this?
13:38Because it's not what I was expecting to get from you.
13:40Are you dissing this demo?
13:42Look, AJ.
13:43I've been in this business a long time.
13:45This ear has made me big money.
13:48Frankly, this track isn't in the same league as Adam's.
13:51You're forgetting who I am, man.
13:52I want this Marvin guy signed.
13:54That's what's going to make me happy.
13:56And if I'm not happy, I'm out of here.
13:58Like that.
14:00Hey, whatever you want, AJ.
14:02He's as good as signed.
14:03Pleasure doing business with you, LB.
14:13Looking good, baby.
14:20I don't care what you say, Virgil.
14:24How is his music going to be that trash?
14:27And he's just that tone deaf.
14:30He's not like that.
14:32I know you and Daisy have mad love for the guy, but he is just fickle and two-faced.
14:37Just because we all like Adam's sound doesn't mean AJ has to.
14:40She's got a point, V.
14:42Way to be on my side, bro.
14:44Shh.
14:45He's on the news.
14:46Turn it up.
14:48Yeah, I was working with this Evans dude, but it just wasn't happening, you know?
14:52Okay, maybe he had some flow, but it was like generic.
14:56Me, I'm all about the real.
14:57Know what I'm saying?
14:58Yeah, right.
14:59That's weird.
15:01What?
15:01His tattoo.
15:02I thought the Chinese symbols were on the other arm.
15:05Yeah, they are.
15:06Oh.
15:09The shit's just...
15:11He's caught.
15:16The dummy couldn't even get the right...
15:19Tattoo on the right arm.
15:22Adam.
15:23Yo, it's static, man.
15:35Adam?
15:47What?
15:48Jack?
15:49Hello?
15:49Rich?
15:50V.
15:51I couldn't sleep.
15:52Oh.
15:53Thank you for sharing that important information.
15:57Good night.
15:58Rich, stay focused, will you?
16:00This AJ thing is really bugging me.
16:02I think that was Replicon we saw on TV, not AJ.
16:05You serious?
16:06I checked.
16:07Like Frida said, his tattoo was on the wrong arm.
16:10I figure Replicon was facing AJ when he disguised himself, so everything got flip-flopped.
16:15Yeah, sure.
16:16Like in a mirror.
16:17Then where's the real AJ?
16:19I checked the recording studio.
16:21AJ wasn't there.
16:22Went by his hotel, same thing.
16:24Now I'm at Adam's place, and he's gone too.
16:26Oh, poor Adam's probably still down about his deal going bad.
16:30There he was, so close to seeing his face in every record store across the country.
16:34Record store?
16:36That's it!
16:37Rich, I need an address for a store called Stone Gas Records.
16:40On it!
16:44Man, I only hope Replicon hasn't gone wacko on AJ.
16:47You and me both, bro.
16:57Man, he's tied up in shoddy wear.
17:10Yo, Backstreet Bomb.
17:12Good news.
17:13Lester Biggs is gonna sign Marvin Roper, me, to an overall deal.
17:17Mansions, super stretch limos, I'm moving way up on you.
17:22Yeah, to a penthouse prison cell.
17:24Ah, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.
17:25Peep out the funny pop star.
17:27After I'm done with you, you won't be laughing.
17:30Trust me.
17:31Is that right?
17:32See, I was just keeping you around so I could make sure my imitation of you look real.
17:36But now that I got my contract, all you're good for it, let's meet.
17:48Hey!
17:50He's about good action.
17:52Also, he was gonna eat another man.
17:55It's pretty, it's pretty suspect.
17:58Grown man eating another man.
18:09Show's over, pop star.
18:22Give your paws to yourself, fer-ver.
18:27How'd you find us?
18:29Adam mentioned that he worked in this record store with Replicon a long time ago.
18:32How'd he get you out of here?
18:40Electricity doesn't work on wood, static.
18:50You're running out of room, hero.
18:59That tickles.
19:00Now let's see how this feels.
19:14Thanks.
19:15That must have been some wicked reverb you fed him.
19:17Nope.
19:18Just his own bad music.
19:28I've waited a long time, but this deal proves that if you stick to your dreams, they'll come true.
19:33Our friend is gonna be a star.
19:35Think of the possibilities, V.
19:37Backstage passes, hobnobbing with celebs, craft service munchies.
19:41Richie, he's in a tough business.
19:43You know, one day you're a hit, the next you're in the clothes out bin.
19:48Hey guys, hey guys.
19:50Who is that on your shirt?
19:52Adam, of course.
19:53He's so cool.
19:55Then again, there's nothing wrong with being a one-hit wonder.
19:59My name is Virgil and I'm here to say nobody sings and raps my way.
20:03I'm his pal, Richie, and I must agree.
20:06Together we make great harmony.
20:18Friends of yours?
20:20Nope.
20:20Never seen them.
