00:00:21And you don't stop, and you don't quit.
00:00:27Now I'm a man with a plan in the b-boy stance, and all the ladies in the jam know
00:00:31who I am, but the power to make it move when I write a groove, I don't snooze, I kick
00:00:36it off nice and smooth, and when the beat goes down, feet hit the ground, the breakers start spinning all
00:00:41round and round, and if the body don't stop, cause we don't stop, we just rock, you feel it, we
00:00:46don't need those drops.
00:01:04Oh, my God.
00:01:05Hey! Yes! Yes! I'm food!
00:01:09No, no!
00:01:10Leave her alone! Sorry, I didn't leave her alone.
00:01:14Look at her.
00:01:15Oh, grave! What?
00:01:17Stop!
00:01:18Hey!
00:01:19Don't touch her.
00:01:20Oh, grave! Your fault!
00:01:22I'm gonna kill you!
00:01:24Stop!
00:01:26Stop!
00:01:28Stop!
00:01:29He's hurting your mommy!
00:01:31No!
00:01:31He's calling the cops!
00:01:32No!
00:01:33I won't do that to your father!
00:01:39No!
00:01:41No!
00:01:43No!
00:01:43No!
00:01:44No!
00:01:47No!
00:01:50No!
00:02:17No!
00:02:17No!
00:02:17No!
00:02:17Because I got to. Maybe I wouldn't have to if our pops was worth a damn, huh?
00:02:21Who's going to take care of this family if not me? You?
00:02:25I do what I got to to help Mommy.
00:02:27And the best way you can help is to stop daydreaming and think about how you can pitch in around
00:02:31here.
00:02:32I'm not going to have Mommy working three jobs while you're in La La Land.
00:02:35That's it.
00:03:12I don't want nothing at all.
00:03:36Oh, Nicky gon' get you.
00:03:44Have a good one.
00:03:49Sorry.
00:03:50I'm here now.
00:03:55Ay, que calor.
00:03:57They need some air conditioning back here.
00:03:59How many of these do we got to dress?
00:04:06Damn.
00:04:07I need a favor.
00:04:09No.
00:04:10Please, Lisa.
00:04:11Mm-mm.
00:04:12Last time I got into trouble because of you.
00:04:14Please, I know a place where we can make double what we were making before.
00:04:18I need the money.
00:04:20I know you do, too.
00:04:25One hour.
00:04:27But that's it, okay?
00:04:28Okay, okay.
00:04:29I don't want to get in trouble.
00:04:59Thank you, thank you.
00:05:00We will be here all night.
00:05:01Damn, I gotta go.
00:05:03My brother told me to pick up stuff for dinner, and he's gonna kill me.
00:05:06Okay, all right.
00:05:08Oh, my gosh.
00:05:20Use you.
00:05:21Yeah, because you choose it.
00:05:22No, DJs don't refuse it.
00:05:24It ain't nothing like it's my music.
00:05:29Mira, voy a cocinar hoy un arroz con habichuelas.
00:05:32¿Tú piensas comer?
00:05:35TÃrate la carne a la olla.
00:05:39Esa cosa, como otras cosas.
00:05:41Mira, ya, ya, ya, que estoy comiendo.
00:05:42Déjame comer.
00:05:43Mira, ya, ya, ya, ya, ya.
00:06:13We came here to stuff fresh.
00:06:16Okay?
00:06:20One day I'll be so rich, Mommy.
00:06:22I'm gonna take care of you.
00:06:23I'm gonna buy you a new car.
00:06:27Mamita, the only thing I want you to do is to take care of yourself.
00:06:32Don't ever count on anybody taking care of you.
00:06:35Okay?
00:06:37Yeah.
00:06:39But if you just so happen to be rich...
00:06:41What?
00:06:42I want to convert...
00:06:43Beat that.
00:06:45I...
00:06:46I gotta go.
00:06:47You come straight home after work, okay?
00:06:50Yeah.
00:06:51I love you, Mommy.
00:06:52I love you.
00:07:01I hear your boys are Jellybean.
00:07:03Yeah, we go way back.
00:07:05What was Jellybean?
00:07:07It's the main DJ at the boombox basement.
00:07:09Where it is, it just got Modano.
00:07:10Whoa.
00:07:12What is fun?
00:07:13Can you introduce me?
00:07:14To Jelly?
00:07:15No, Deron Reagan.
00:07:16Yeah.
00:07:17It's her thing, but you know in this city nothing's free.
00:07:20Especially when it comes to Jellybean.
00:07:22What do you want?
00:07:30Hell no.
00:07:31Jellybean's always got any funny talent.
00:07:33Besides, Guy won't go home unless you come with us.
00:07:35I don't even like him like that.
00:07:36Girl, who said you're gonna be into him?
00:07:38Just pretend it's an extra long trip in the stock room.
00:07:41Is your brother even gonna let you go?
00:07:42Of course he will.
00:07:43Why wouldn't he?
00:07:44Girl, I run the show at home.
00:07:47Hell no.
00:07:48Why?
00:07:50Hilario, please.
00:07:51No.
00:07:52You know how many pervs and weirdos go to places like that to pick up on young girls?
00:07:55You're gonna be with me.
00:07:57It's a bar.
00:07:58You're 15.
00:07:59It's seen that there won't be any alcohol.
00:08:01Hilario, stop and listen to me.
00:08:05I'm gonna live and die in this neighborhood and never be nothing.
00:08:09I want to take care of Mommy one day.
00:08:12What's that got to do with this club?
00:08:13There are gonna be people there who can help me.
00:08:15Give me a shot at singing.
00:08:17There you go.
00:08:18Head in the sky again.
00:08:20I'll take out the trash for a month.
00:08:53Is that him?
00:08:55Can you introduce me?
00:08:57I don't know him like that.
00:09:01I thought you said he was your host.
00:09:02I know who he is.
00:09:04He's a set.
00:09:05Try to get us into the green room.
00:09:07Go on.
00:09:10I'll figure out myself.
00:09:12I'm going home.
00:09:13I've got homework to do.
00:09:19Damn, my bad.
00:09:26Jelly beans.
00:09:28Jelly beans.
00:09:28Jelly beans.
00:09:29I come first in the order of the picking.
00:09:31DJ replay.
00:09:32We stay calm.
00:09:33Drop beats like bars.
00:09:34When you're playing my song.
00:09:35Johnny, my man.
00:09:36What's up?
00:09:36We don't mind the talking.
00:09:37Parlay all day.
00:09:38I went off.
00:09:39We play offense.
00:09:40Y'all on defense.
00:09:41Fox and you pretend.
00:09:42I'm getting evil.
00:09:43Get rocket.
00:09:44Beat the boys in the place.
00:09:45Getting down to the green.
00:09:46Get another group space.
00:09:47Get rocket.
00:09:48One time a song.
00:09:50Going from the Baymax in the early morning.
00:09:52Get rocket.
00:09:53Not the time for the chat.
00:09:54I'm doing my dance all across the mountain.
00:09:56Get rocket.
00:09:57I will see K-I-N-G.
00:09:58And I suggest you don't mess with me.
00:10:02You're going to sneak backstage.
00:10:03Take the tray.
00:10:04What?
00:10:05Take the tray.
00:10:12I mentioned it.
00:10:17How much?
00:10:18Duh.
00:10:20Duh?
00:10:20Come on.
00:10:21Those are the prices.
00:10:23Inflation, my man.
00:10:24You got better options.
00:10:25I suggest you get to it.
00:10:26I got business going on here.
00:10:27I got business going on here.
00:10:29I got business going on here.
00:10:40I hear you help singas.
00:10:43Singas?
00:10:45Nah.
00:10:46I help artists.
00:10:48If they're worth it.
00:10:50Well, I'm worth it.
00:10:51The best damn pie is you're here all night.
00:10:55Okay, shawty.
00:10:57That's how you blow.
00:11:02I got sunshine, light in my way.
00:11:06You're trying to be the clown, but just float away.
00:11:10Don't matter about the sticks and the stones you say.
00:11:13Cause your world's about to flood and you're in my way.
00:11:16Cause I'm rolling, rolling.
00:11:20Try to stop us, we just keep going.
00:11:24Ooh, ooh, ooh.
00:11:30All right.
00:11:33Fresh.
00:11:34I see ya.
00:11:36What's your name?
00:11:37Lisa.
00:11:38Lisa Velez.
00:11:39All right, Lisa.
00:11:40Lisa Velez.
00:11:42How old are you?
00:11:4418.
00:11:46Who's bugging?
00:11:4915.
00:11:5015.
00:11:53Hmm.
00:11:55All right, Lisa.
00:11:57Leave me your digits.
00:12:10Come on, man.
00:12:12I just need a couple of intros.
00:12:13That's all.
00:12:16I told you, mamita.
00:12:18Ain't no one looking for a singer with your...
00:12:22Look.
00:12:23What you mean?
00:12:24What's wrong with my look?
00:12:25Look.
00:12:26I love you the way you are.
00:12:28But these record executives, they start bugging about silly things like looks and image.
00:12:34But you know I can sing my ass off.
00:12:37I know it.
00:12:38But they don't.
00:12:40And you don't get past a record label without them thinking about your image.
00:12:44Or theirs.
00:12:46And besides, these record labels, they're full of whack-ass scam artists just waiting to take advantage of a young
00:12:53buck like you.
00:12:54I ain't exactly need no young buck.
00:12:57You still working with your pots?
00:12:59Sampling the product?
00:13:01It's homey.
00:13:03Dealing only leads down one path.
00:13:05So help me get another path.
00:13:17Yo, shorty.
00:13:19I heard you singing over there.
00:13:21It was fresh.
00:13:23You from around here?
00:13:24We're on the way.
00:13:25Tell's kitchen.
00:13:26Word.
00:13:27Well, look.
00:13:27I got this joint that I've been working on for a minute.
00:13:30And I think that you're kind of...
00:13:30Don't be pushing over.
00:13:31Whoa.
00:13:32I'm trying to talk to her.
00:13:33You know what I'm saying?
00:13:34That's right.
00:13:34She ain't even trying to hide you, bro.
00:13:36Homie.
00:13:37I got a band.
00:13:38And we need a lead singer.
00:13:40Jellybean told me that she was looking.
00:13:42Got a few producers that are interested, you know, if you want to audition.
00:13:45My name's Mike Hughes.
00:13:47Here's my number and address to the recording studio.
00:13:50Play drums.
00:13:51Maybe we can make some music together.
00:13:54Just music, man.
00:13:55Time to go.
00:13:58You ain't going to no audition with that guy.
00:14:00No, of course not.
00:14:02I know that.
00:14:07I know that.
00:14:09Robert, you know what I'm talking about?
00:14:11Tell me if this is really dope.
00:14:12I got this guitarist.
00:14:13He's really amazing.
00:14:14I got this girl.
00:14:14She's working.
00:14:15She's going to be amazing, too.
00:14:17Hold up.
00:14:17This is her.
00:14:20Hey.
00:14:20Hey, there's someone I want you to meet.
00:14:22Come over here.
00:14:24This is Rocco.
00:14:25He's the manager.
00:14:26Hi.
00:14:27Rocco, we just need five minutes.
00:14:31You got three, Mike.
00:14:33Okay, Lisa, come on.
00:14:35I saw one I want you to meet.
00:14:36This is Spanador.
00:14:37Nice to meet you, Spanador.
00:14:38I heard you can sing.
00:14:39I heard you can play.
00:14:40Yeah, yeah, let's go.
00:14:42Did you practice a song?
00:14:43Mike wrote it.
00:14:44Yeah, I wrote you last night.
00:14:45Ready?
00:14:46Let's go.
00:14:47Oh, where do you think you're going?
00:14:50I'm going to record the song.
00:14:53No booth.
00:14:54One mic.
00:14:55See what you got.
00:14:57The booth.
00:14:58Come on, man.
00:15:01Guys, hey, just listen to me.
00:15:04Come on.
00:15:05Ah.
00:15:22All I need is your love, baby.
00:15:30Thanks.
00:15:32We'll let you know.
00:15:33All right.
00:15:33Come on, man.
00:15:34Let's get one another chance.
00:15:35I'm going to spend my time, right?
00:15:36We got to go.
00:15:36We got to talk to you.
00:15:39Hey.
00:15:41Why don't you play a song you know?
00:15:43Something you're comfortable with.
00:15:45Hey, guys.
00:15:46Back her up, whatever she wants.
00:15:48Yeah, of course.
00:15:51So what you want to sing?
00:15:52Hey, guys.
00:15:53Let's give her another shot.
00:15:54Something she knows.
00:16:15Uptown, downtown.
00:16:16The funk is on the move.
00:16:49Ha ha ha! Yeah!
00:16:52What about Hell's Kitchen's trio?
00:16:54Wow.
00:16:54No, that sounds like my abuel's band or something like that.
00:16:57I didn't think you could get any worse than your last suggestion, but what?
00:17:01It's gotta be slick.
00:17:02It's gotta be, you know, something that screams we're all about culture, hip-hop, and music.
00:17:07And that we can jam.
00:17:08Yeah.
00:17:11Cult jam?
00:17:12That's fly.
00:17:14Mm-hmm.
00:17:14I got it.
00:17:16Lisa and cult jam.
00:17:18Okay.
00:17:19I'm feeling it.
00:17:20All right, but it needs that extra flavor, you know, because Lisa ain't your everyday girl.
00:17:26That's what I'm saying.
00:17:26Mm-hmm.
00:17:27No.
00:17:28She's not.
00:17:30No.
00:17:31Lisa ain't your everyday girl.
00:17:33She's uniquely blessed.
00:17:35How about Lisa, Lisa, and cult jam?
00:17:42Yo.
00:17:42Oh, that's fresh.
00:17:44Right?
00:17:46Don't you think, Lisa?
00:17:47Yeah, that's a joint.
00:17:49I'm down.
00:17:50We got a name.
00:17:51Lisa, Lisa, and cult jam!
00:17:54I wonder if I take you home, would you still be your home, baby?
00:17:59Because I need you tonight.
00:18:01I like the bass and that progression.
00:18:03If I take you home.
00:18:04You're welcome.
00:18:05Would you still be your home, baby?
00:18:08Because I need you tonight.
00:18:10Oh-oh.
00:18:15Brothers are some of the best producers in town.
00:18:18This is great, Barry.
00:18:18Thank you so much.
00:18:20Yes.
00:18:22Lisa, sweetheart.
00:18:25You're incredible.
00:18:26With that sound, it's amazing.
00:18:29The men, the men are going to go gaga for you.
00:18:34I told you.
00:18:35Yeah, you did.
00:18:36So what's next?
00:18:38Tour?
00:18:39Let's not get ahead of ourselves.
00:18:42Typically, we test the song, see how it lands in different markets before we actually sign an artist.
00:18:49How do you do that?
00:18:51We send the record to a few friendly DJs in the UK.
00:18:54And we'll be right back with Radio FM UK.
00:19:03The label better not have sent me rubbish like the last time.
00:19:06That was pure yank nonsense.
00:19:10I mean, if it hits, you start talking contracts.
00:19:13If not, you know, the music world is littered with one-hit wonders.
00:19:19Who is this again, mate?
00:19:23A lot of them crash and burn.
00:19:25Don't worry.
00:19:27Rocco here is going to make sure everything runs smoothly.
00:19:30Isn't that right, Rocco?
00:19:31Yep.
00:19:32So it's my job to book you gigs, find the producers, and work on promotions.
00:19:36Hey, mommy.
00:19:38Did you find it all right?
00:19:39Yeah.
00:19:40Hello, ma'am.
00:19:44Pleasure to meet you.
00:19:46Me too.
00:19:46Barry Connor.
00:19:48I just have a few papers that need your signature.
00:19:51Let's step out for a second.
00:19:53Okay.
00:19:55I'll catch right up to you.
00:19:58Okay.
00:19:58Turn it back on, bro.
00:19:59Maybe, uh, you know that we can't proceed unless she signs, right?
00:20:05I mean, it's just too much risk with an underage artist, so walk her through it, okay?
00:20:11Oh, yeah.
00:20:13Do we need a lawyer or anything?
00:20:15No.
00:20:15The contracts are standard.
00:20:17New artists usually sign as is.
00:20:19Oh, cool.
00:20:23Let's run this.
00:20:24I love a beat.
00:20:30Please, mommy.
00:20:33No.
00:20:34I don't know him.
00:20:35I don't know what I'm signing.
00:20:37What if something happens?
00:20:38Nothing is gonna happen.
00:20:39I do, nina.
00:20:40I see how they look at you.
00:20:43I know what these men want, and it's not just your voice.
00:20:46No, you don't know what they want, mommy.
00:20:47Lisa.
00:20:50Everything okay?
00:20:51Yeah.
00:20:52We're almost done.
00:20:54Okay.
00:20:55I mean, I'm a singer.
00:20:57I need to be singing.
00:21:00I can move us to a better neighborhood, and you won't even have to work anymore.
00:21:05Lisa, that's not your job.
00:21:08You once told me to never count on someone to take care of me.
00:21:13Hmm?
00:21:15You said to do it yourself.
00:21:17You said to do it yourself, so this is me doing it myself.
00:21:44All right, we need to get you guys back in the studio right away.
00:21:48Contracts are signed.
00:21:49Yeah!
00:21:51Yeah!
00:21:52Go home, celebrate.
00:21:54Tomorrow, we get to work.
00:21:56Come on, go, mom.
00:21:57I gotta save a podcast.
00:21:58That's what I'm talking about.
00:22:00Come on!
00:22:01Hey, sweetheart.
00:22:02Hey, sweetheart.
00:22:02Sweetheart.
00:22:03Lisa.
00:22:03Can I talk to you a second?
00:22:05Yeah.
00:22:06There's a lot of work, time, and money that goes into making you a star.
00:22:10I need to make sure I'm not wasting any of that, so you're not pregnant or nothing, right?
00:22:16Pregnant?
00:22:18I'm 15.
00:22:19Like I said, there's a lot that goes into young stars.
00:22:22I need to make sure I'm not wasting it.
00:22:25I don't need a pregnant teenager on the road.
00:22:27You got me?
00:22:28Well, you don't have to worry about me, Mr. Khanna.
00:22:30I'm locked in.
00:22:31Good answer.
00:22:35And call me Barry.
00:22:37Yes, sir.

00:26:50Well, I'm great.
00:26:50Very excited to be here.
00:26:52And how does it feel to be in this position?
00:26:54Well, it's a dream come true.
00:27:08Tony, I thought you weren't dealing.
00:27:10Look, I'm not, man.
00:27:11I'm networking.
00:27:12You never know where the next gig's gonna come from.
00:27:14Besides, I think this dude right here,
00:27:15he knows some record execs.
00:27:17Right.
00:27:17Heh, sure.
00:27:22Got a line on a gig.
00:27:24Word, an audition.
00:27:26New band, looking for backup singers.
00:27:29Man, I'm not backup?
00:27:30Tony, no.
00:27:31But look where you are.
00:27:34It's gotta be this game.
00:27:36Hey, you wanna spend your whole life
00:27:39looking over your shoulder?
00:27:40Just cause it didn't work out last time
00:27:42doesn't mean you quit.
00:27:44Doesn't mean you stop trusting people.
00:27:47It's show business.
00:27:49It's the music game.
00:27:50And the music game takes time.
00:27:56Think about it.
00:27:57Think about it.
00:28:00Alright.
00:28:01Peace.
00:28:02Peace.
00:28:07You ain't backup.
00:28:08I ain't backup.
00:28:09Not for long.
00:28:14Mike, listen, I got this.
00:28:16Figure it out.
00:28:17Sponidor.
00:28:17Where you gonna go with number two?
00:28:19No, number two is not gonna work, bro.
00:28:20We need another audition.
00:28:22But she looks the best.
00:28:23It doesn't matter if she looks the best, bro.
00:28:24We need another audition.
00:28:25We don't have time for another audition.
00:28:27Well, I don't know why you want me to say it,
00:28:28but not one of them blend with our sound.
00:28:31Word.
00:28:31What do we do, Alex?
00:28:32We're going tour in a month.
00:28:33Well, we keep searching.
00:28:35We already behind on schedule.
00:28:37We either pick a team today or we push.
00:28:40The label not waiting on us.
00:28:43We got bands lined up right now that's ready to go.
00:28:46Alright, Rocco, just give me another hour.
00:28:47I can find some ladies.
00:28:48I go around to flip that, Baptist.
00:28:50I'll find you a whole lot of girls who can sing best.
00:28:52Here we go again.
00:28:52Make an executive decision.
00:28:53We're going with number two.
00:28:54No, we're not going with number two.
00:28:55No, we're not going with number two.
00:28:55Are we going with number two?
00:28:57Are we going with two?
00:28:58Staring out the window.
00:29:00Hoping to catch you walking by.
00:29:03Staring out the window.
00:29:06I think I've seen my landmark.
00:29:07While these tears broke down my eyes.
00:29:09Staring out the window.
00:29:12Just can't believe you're done and gone.
00:29:15Staring out the window.
00:29:17Staring out the window.
00:29:31Hey, pack your bags, folks.
00:29:33Cause we going on tour.
00:29:37Cigarettes don't affect your voice?
00:29:39No.
00:29:40I mean, they actually give it a little raspy bass out of my heaven.
00:29:43Those things will kill you, you know?
00:29:44Well, whenever the government comes out with a study saying these are bad for you, I'll
00:29:48stop.
00:29:50I'm Lisa.
00:29:52Tony.
00:29:53How long have you been singing for?
00:29:56I grew up singing on street corners.
00:29:58Yeah, me too.
00:30:00Listen, you know it's not going to be what you think it is, right?
00:30:05What's that?
00:30:05I mean, this music industry.
00:30:08You know, it's just like the streets.
00:30:10Use it or it'll use you.
00:30:12So you gotta watch yourself.
00:30:13Everybody's gonna try to take a piece of you and you can't let them.
00:30:16Yeah, where are you going?
00:30:18Look, I mean, most of these dudes want a backup singer that's something to look at.
00:30:23And I'm not that.
00:30:25Then why'd you come?
00:30:27Cause I promised a friend.
00:30:29But I know the game.
00:30:33Don't smoke these menthols on the road.
00:30:36They'll mess up with your voice.
00:30:37And I can't have that.
00:30:41Whatever.
00:30:42I was trying to quote anything.
00:30:45Hey.
00:30:46Go home, pack a bag, cause it's gonna be a ride.
00:30:57Come on, baby.
00:31:00Yeah, baby.
00:31:00A little longer, okay?
00:31:02You gotta go.
00:31:03Come on.
00:31:06I mean, what's this about?
00:31:08Come on, you know.
00:31:09Baby, no, no, no.
00:31:11They're gonna have to, you know, check my makeup again.
00:31:14Stop.
00:31:15I thought we had dinner plans tonight.
00:31:17Yo, this city's so crazy sometimes.
00:31:20Almost it's a scrap with a bunch of teenagers.
00:31:22Excuse me.
00:31:24Signatures.
00:31:25Okay.
00:31:25More promotional tours means more papers to sign.
00:31:30Again?
00:31:31Hey, that's the life of a big star.
00:31:33Jesus Christ.
00:31:34Wow, a commercial?
00:31:36Yeah.
00:31:38We rearranged a few things so, uh, you know, you could sneak it in.
00:31:43Well, I was supposed to go home after this set.
00:31:47Mm-hmm.
00:31:47I haven't seen my family in a year.
00:31:49This is a national commercial.
00:31:52It's a lot of money.
00:31:54I just...
00:31:55It's been concert after concert.
00:31:58You said you wanted to be a star, right?
00:32:00This is the pace you have to work at.
00:32:02So, give her creative control.
00:32:05Yeah, that's not the way we do things around here, but thanks.
00:32:08Do it anyway.
00:32:10Yeah.
00:32:11I want creative control.
00:32:13Lisa.
00:32:14I want to start putting my stamp on this.
00:32:16Mm-hmm.
00:32:17I want to get involved in the creative.
00:32:19I want to help with the...
00:32:20with the set design and the choreography and...
00:32:22and to pick up the dancers, right?
00:32:24Yeah, she does it anyway.
00:32:33Of course.
00:32:34You'll be involved.
00:32:37Let's go!
00:32:38Let's get to work!
00:32:39Yo, sweetheart, are you ready or what?
00:32:40In a minute, baby.
00:32:41The record label needs you, all right?
00:32:43This is not the other way around.
00:32:44I want you...
00:32:45All right, perfect.
00:32:45You know what?
00:32:46I want to go.
00:32:47Hurry up.
00:32:48Put on, man.
00:32:49Lisa, come on.
00:32:49Here's your hand right here.
00:32:51Photography, you ready?
00:32:52Let's go.
00:32:52Look at the camera.
00:32:53Three...
00:32:55Two...
00:32:55One...
00:32:58Perfect, perfect.
00:32:58Hold on, Lisa.
00:33:00All right, hold on.
00:33:01Can I get an idea, please?
00:33:02No.
00:33:03My idea is something.
00:33:04House Kitchen Trio, bro.
00:33:06No.
00:33:07All right, bro.
00:33:08You know she's not part of this group, right?
00:33:10What do you mean?
00:33:11Yo, I'm right here.
00:33:12You can say it to my face.
00:33:13I'm talking to Lisa.
00:33:14What's your problem?
00:33:16The problem is we don't need any more voices
00:33:17offering their opinions on music, fashion, and photo shoots.
00:33:21Fellas, let's take a little break.
00:33:23What do you mean, break?
00:33:24Yeah, I had some flash spandex I wanted to flash, man.
00:33:27Nobody want to see you with no spandex.
00:33:30You know, we're just gonna focus on a few shots of Lisa alone.
00:33:33Why don't you guys go to craft service, grab a coffee?
00:33:39Hey, yo.
00:33:40This was your band, Mike.
00:33:42You got two little girls telling you what to do.
00:33:44And one is just the background segment.
00:33:55Come on.
00:33:55Come on.
00:33:56Move it.
00:33:56Move it.

00:34:01Move it.
00:34:02Move it.
00:34:04Move it.
00:34:05Move it.
00:34:06You're good.
00:34:08You're good.
00:34:08Yo, Rick.
00:34:09Let me talk to you for a second.
00:34:12Of course.
00:34:14I just wanna make sure you know that we're a band.
00:34:17I know Lisa gonna get all the attention since she's the lead singer.
00:34:21But anything that we should be doing, we should be doing together.
00:34:25Interviews.
00:34:26Photo shoots.
00:34:29Everything.
00:34:29thing. All right. Is that all? Yeah. Good to hear. Catch up with
00:34:44you on tour. Keep up the great work, fellas. Fantastic shoot

00:35:10good. What's going on? Hey, Lisa, you're crushing that track. Thank you. Come join
00:35:19us. Okay. Guys, the label's happy, so I'm happy. That's good. I know I don't have to
00:35:28tell you things are different now. We're playing in bigger venues. You guys are going to be
00:35:33on the road longer. That means more money. More money. Hey, so you have to stay focused.
00:35:40You're not stars yet. Speak for yourself. I'm a star. I don't speak a star. All right,
00:35:47guys. Hey, great job today. Get out of here. See you tomorrow. Wait. Hey, I'm going to

00:38:59Hey, hey, get back.
00:38:59Chill, chill, chill.
00:39:00Watch out, watch out.
00:39:01Come on, come on.
00:39:02Sorry, guys.
00:39:02So nice to meet you.
00:39:03Bye.
00:39:03Get back, get back.
00:39:07Wow.
00:39:10Please, I love you.
00:39:11It's the first time mommy will come see me.
00:39:14No, just get on the train and come on.
00:39:18Shh.
00:39:19Let me hear the sound.
00:39:20Mommy.
00:39:23Mommy.
00:39:24Hi, Mom.
00:39:25Oh, I'm so glad you're here.
00:39:27You're beautiful.
00:39:28Oh, my God.
00:39:29You lost weight.
00:39:30I've got a surprise for you.
00:39:31Yeah, I'll show you after the show.
00:39:33Come on.
00:39:33Okay.
00:39:39This is for you.
00:39:41What do you mean?
00:39:45It's yours.
00:39:47No, I can't believe this.
00:39:50Did you see what Lisa bought me?
00:39:52Oh, my God.
00:39:52Why did you do this?
00:39:53You know we were all saving up the bitch in and buy her car.
00:39:56I know.
00:39:56I know.
00:39:56I just wanted to do this for you.
00:39:57No, no.
00:39:58That's not the point.
00:39:59Why can't you just be proud of me?
00:40:01For once in your life, didn't you just say,
00:40:03I'm proud of you, Lisa?
00:40:05Why can't you do that?
00:40:07It kills you to think that I can leave and do something more
00:40:09and you're just stuck here.
00:40:10You don't know what you're talking about.
00:40:12Oh, my.
00:40:15Look at her.
00:40:16Just let her have this.
00:40:20Mommy, look at this.
00:40:22The power's here.
00:40:24Oh, and check the glove company.
00:40:27Yeah.
00:40:34What is that?
00:40:36This...
00:40:37This...
00:40:37This isn't...
00:40:38What is it?
00:40:41Well, thank you, God.
00:40:43Thank you, God.
00:40:46Glory to God.
00:40:49I bought the house.
00:40:52It's yours, Mommy.
00:40:53Oh, my God.
00:40:54Forever.
00:40:56No one can take it away from you.
00:40:59You don't have to worry about anything ever again.
00:41:03Oh, my God.
00:41:04My mommy.
00:41:05Well, everything's just perfect now, isn't it?
00:41:09Eladio.
00:41:11Eladio!
00:41:14I love you, but I can't be sitting around waiting for you.
00:41:18You heard?
00:41:18Okay.
00:41:19You know how my job is.
00:41:21And I told you, you can come on the road with me.
00:41:24You know?
00:41:24I'm not gonna follow you around like a little pet.
00:41:26Okay?
00:41:27I'm a man.
00:41:28I know.
00:41:28I know you are.
00:41:29And I need to work.
00:41:30Okay?
00:41:31And I've been trying to be supportive.
00:41:34Let me tell you something.
00:41:36When you're gone, I feel like my only job is to wait on the phone.
00:41:40Mommy!
00:41:41And I mean what?
00:41:42That's the only thing I've been doing these past few months.
00:41:45I'm surprised you remember it was my damn birthday.
00:41:49Yeah.
00:41:49I told you.
00:41:51I'm working.
00:41:52Mmm.
00:41:52I don't know how many times we have to have the same argument over and over again.
00:41:56Does working include letting a bunch of guys up in your grill?
00:41:59What the hell are you talking about?
00:42:02Let them touch you?
00:42:03Feel all over you?
00:42:04Hmm?
00:42:05Is that what you like?
00:42:05Okay, I don't know where this is coming from, but you bugging me.
00:42:07Oh yeah?
00:42:08I'm bugging?
00:42:11Stop.
00:42:12Javi, wait!
00:42:12Wait!
00:42:14What?
00:42:15What do you want?
00:42:15What do you want?
00:42:16What do you want from me?
00:42:17You want to be with me?
00:42:19Of course.
00:42:22Then marry me.
00:42:25I love you.
00:42:27Okay?
00:42:27I do.
00:42:29I don't want to sit here wondering if you're mine.
00:42:37Baby, I'm yours.
00:42:38Yeah?
00:42:39Then marry me.
00:42:40Marry me or I'll go home, pack my things and leave.
00:42:44Because as is, this isn't going to work.
00:42:51It's a choice.
00:42:54Okay.
00:42:58Okay.
00:43:00Really?
00:43:01Let's get married.
00:43:04It's okay!
00:43:05What?
00:43:06We're getting married?
00:43:08You out of your mind?
00:43:08What is your problem?
00:43:10Lisa, you guys are 20 years old.
00:43:13How do either of you know what a commitment is?
00:43:16You guys are just two kids playing house.
00:43:19Don't do this.
00:43:20Wait until you're older and out of this game.
00:43:22You don't understand, Eladio.
00:43:24Only time is the same thing.
00:43:25No, no, no.
00:43:25I understand plenty.
00:43:26You trust people when you shouldn't.
00:43:28Mami, say something, por favor.
00:43:30Mamita, please.
00:43:33Why?
00:43:34Why?
00:43:34Why do you want to get married so young?
00:43:37I love him, Mami.
00:43:39How do you know it's love?
00:43:41Nena, you will find someone who will love you.
00:43:48You will.
00:43:50I saw it in my dreams.
00:43:52A man who will love you, who you will have children with.
00:43:59But it's not Javi.
00:44:05I saw credit for their kids from I.
00:44:16Oh
00:44:37Some guys will promise you a marriage made in heaven,
00:44:40but I'm gonna stick to my guns.
00:44:44Lisa Lisa of Lisa Lisa and the Colt Jam began simply as Lisa,
00:44:49a young Puerto Rican girl who dreamed of being a singing sensation.
00:44:53That dream started to come true in 1985,
00:44:55when the music producer group went looking for a female lead
00:44:59and stumbled across the 16-year-old singer.
00:45:02In that same year, they renamed the band Lisa Lisa and Colt Jam,
00:45:06producing three top-selling hits which brought the band to platinum status.
00:45:13Both Lisa and the band attribute their success to their streetwise sound.
00:45:20Lisa Lisa has been compared with other top-selling artists
00:45:23such as Debbie Gibson, Paula Abdul, and even Madonna.
00:45:27Their most recently released album is purposefully called Straight to the Top,
00:45:32a place where Lisa Lisa and Colt Jam hope to be for a very long time.
00:45:38And he's bee-sme-sme-sme-sme-sme-sme-sme-sme-sme-sme-sme-sme-sme-sme-sme-sme-sme
00:45:39-sme-sme-sme-sme-sme-sme-sme-sme-sme-sme.
00:45:39Man, I'm glad he ain't got no sisters.
00:45:41Wake up.
00:45:43There they are.
00:45:52Okay, listen.
00:45:54Shaving is like farming.
00:45:56You gotta start with little strokes
00:45:58and go up each side, like that.
00:46:02Can't believe you never did this before.
00:46:03Don't you have sisters?
00:46:07No.
00:46:09You got me now.
00:46:13Hello? Oh, hey, babe.
00:46:16Of course, I'm in my hotel room.
00:46:18Where else would I be?
00:46:21Oh.
00:46:28Alright.
00:46:31I'll be home in two weeks.
00:46:34Okay.
00:46:37I love you.
00:46:47He's going out with his boys again, huh?
00:46:50Yeah.
00:46:53It's the third time this week.
00:46:55I think it's funny, huh?
00:46:56He always wants to know where you're at,
00:46:57but you never ask him where he's going.
00:47:00No need.
00:47:01I trust him.
00:47:03Javi!
00:47:05I'm home!
00:47:05I'm home!
00:47:15Baby!
00:47:33Hey!
00:47:34Hey!
00:47:35Hey!×›
00:47:50You know, if Barry finds out...
00:47:52I know.
00:47:56Are you sure it was positive?
00:47:58Like, does your mom know?
00:48:01What'd she say?
00:48:08She said not to have his child.
00:48:14She said that he reminded her of my dad,
00:48:16and that reminded me what a mistake it was to marry him.
00:48:22I don't know.
00:48:27Maybe I loved him because I wanted a man to love me.
00:48:31My father didn't do it.
00:48:41Why don't you ever talk about your family?
00:48:47There ain't nothing to talk about.
00:48:52What do you do when you go back home?
00:48:53Where do you go?
00:48:54I got places.
00:48:58Look, I mean, most kids...
00:49:01Most kids have memories of being a kid.
00:49:05Like, happy memories of love and their parents and family, and...
00:49:10I just don't got that.
00:49:13And I'm okay with it.
00:49:16That's why I enjoy moments like this.
00:49:18Making new memories.
00:49:20Time with you.
00:49:22One of my best friends.
00:49:26One of your best friends?
00:49:27I better be at the top of that very short list.
00:49:30Look, see, that's...
00:49:31Miss Tony.
00:49:32That's why I should have never said nothing.
00:49:35Aw, you call me your best friend.
00:49:36You're so cheesy.
00:49:38That's why I don't open up to people, okay?
00:49:42Seriously, though.
00:49:44What are you gonna do?
00:49:48I can't have a baby.
00:49:51They'll lose everything, Tony.
00:49:53I'm gonna help you.
00:50:03Can you just...
00:50:05Can you just leave me on it for a minute?
00:50:08Like it is, like it is.
00:50:10The more I think about
00:50:13How much I let me down
00:50:17I need a new day to start the rest
00:50:21Time to get back to me
00:50:24Gotta go
00:50:25Oh, yes, I know it
00:50:26Oh, yes, I know it
00:50:27Oh, yes, I know it
00:50:29Oh, yes, I know it
00:50:30Oh, yes, I know it
00:50:31Oh, yes, I know it
00:50:34Hey, but you see Shorty over there?
00:50:36You think I'll get her a little drink?
00:50:37I mean, she look good, but I mean
00:50:39It's up to you, really
00:50:41Come on
00:50:41Yo, what up, Tony?
00:50:42What's up?
00:50:43Damn, girl, you look busted.
00:50:45Let's go get some sleep.
00:50:47Trying to, dude.
00:50:49Needed a little something.
00:50:51How's Lisa?
00:50:52I know she wasn't feeling well.
00:50:53Oh, she's good.
00:50:55You sure?
00:50:55Yeah, I'm just tired.
00:50:56That's all.
00:50:57So I think Javi's on the outs.
00:50:58Thank God.
00:51:00Hated that dude.
00:51:01Yo, what can I get for you?
00:51:03Bartender, let me get, um, uh...
00:51:04Let me get a whiskey.
00:51:06Double.
00:51:07Oh, damn.
00:51:08Damn, you drink like a dude.
00:51:10Ha, ha, ha, ha.
00:51:24You flirt like one, too.
00:51:26Ha, ha, ha, ha.
00:51:28Excuse me, fellas.
00:51:30That's some business to take care of.
00:51:38Oh, no.
00:51:39Come on, come on.
00:51:41Damn.
00:51:43Oh, Mike.
00:51:45Mike, man.
00:51:46She's stealing your girl.
00:51:47Again.
00:51:48Ha, ha, ha.
00:51:49I gotta use a baffle.
00:51:51Oh, Mary, snap out of it.
00:51:53Why am I paying the tab on top?
00:51:55Uh, I got it, I guess.
00:52:02Yeah.
00:52:21Now, Lisa, it's important that you listen to what I have to say.
00:52:25Okay?
00:52:26Okay.
00:52:27We just got your results back, and, uh, it says that you have ductal carcinoma breast cancer.
00:52:37You'll need to start treatment right away.
00:52:40I have work.
00:52:42No, I-I-I have to travel for a few concert dates.
00:52:45I'm afraid that's not possible.
00:52:47If you don't treat it now, the chances of it spreading rapidly increase, limiting the chances of survival.
00:52:56Survival?
00:52:56Mm-hmm.
00:53:01I can't stop touring.
00:53:04I'll lose everything.
00:53:06Is there someone we can call?
00:53:07No.
00:53:08No.
00:53:09No one.
00:53:10No, no, I-I don't want anyone to know about this.
00:53:14Doctor, can we prepare a travel kit for her to do treatments?
00:53:19Yeah.
00:53:21I can coordinate with the hospitals in the city that she's traveling to, and we can monitor her that way.
00:53:26That works.
00:53:29We can start your treatment tomorrow.
00:53:33A word with you, please.
00:53:41That is my place.
00:53:43Do you understand?
00:53:46Good.
00:53:47All right.
00:53:51I'm sorry.
00:53:59Hey, Mamita.
00:54:02I know.
00:54:04If I stop touring, it all stops.
00:54:08The music, the sponsorships.
00:54:13And I just paid off my mom's car.
00:54:17Your house.
00:54:19You know, I took advancements to...
00:54:23I took advancements to make that happen.
00:54:26And I can't-I can't stop.
00:54:30My mommy-my mommy's just gonna...
00:54:33She was so happy.
00:54:35She was so happy.
00:54:38I can't stop.
00:54:40You understand?
00:54:41I can't stop.
00:54:43We're gonna fix it.
00:54:44We're gonna fix it so that you don't have to stop, okay?
00:54:48You're gonna be okay.
00:54:51You're gonna be okay.
00:54:53We're gonna pray for you.
00:54:55Here, mama.
00:54:56Here, here, take this.
00:54:58Oh, yes.
00:55:03You're gonna be okay.
00:55:08By the way, my daughter, she loves your music.
00:55:15She does.
00:55:17She looks up to you so much.
00:55:20A lot of little Latinas look up to you.
00:55:25Listen, mama.
00:55:27You got this, okay?
00:55:29You're gonna be okay.
00:55:33You hear me?
00:55:55Hey, come here.
00:55:57We need to have a meeting.
00:55:58I've been looking over the contracts and...
00:56:00Something seems off.
00:56:01You notice your pay?
00:56:03Uh, yeah.
00:56:05Yeah, it's been a little life.
00:56:06I haven't thought about it.
00:56:07I'm exhausting.
00:56:08Can we talk about it later?
00:56:09Tony said that we should...
00:56:10Tony's not a part of this band.
00:56:14Thanks.
00:56:14We need to have a conversation between us.
00:56:17And just us, Lisa.
00:56:18I gotta go, Mike.
00:56:20We need to do it soon.
00:56:24Look, I'm sick and tired of this, Alex.
00:56:26Tony.
00:56:27I'm done.
00:56:29What is this?
00:56:30It's your paycheck.
00:56:31Thought I'd hand delivery.
00:56:33Why?
00:56:34What do you want?
00:56:35You're not one to beat around the bush.
00:56:38Maybe you are.
00:56:39I wanted to ask about your friendship with Lisa.
00:56:43My friendship?
00:56:44The reporter was prying the other day,
00:56:46assuming she's a lesbian.
00:56:48You know, I corrected her, of course,
00:56:49but having those kinds of questions,
00:56:52it doesn't benefit anyone.
00:56:54It doesn't.
00:56:57Back off, Lisa.
00:57:00You down?
00:57:02Yeah.
00:57:03Yeah, I think so.
00:57:04Thanks.
00:57:22Hey, you got a lighter on you?
00:57:24Yep.
00:57:25Let's make time for a chat over the break.
00:57:29I don't want to see everything slip away over one person.
00:57:33We'll have lunch.
00:57:35Okay.
00:57:47Here for your check.
00:57:59I'm going to need an advance on those jobs robber-arranged.
00:58:03Sure.
00:58:03Got a few bills that popped up.
00:58:05Um, what upcoming jobs?
00:58:09I don't see anything.
00:58:10Oh, the commercial.
00:58:12I signed the paperwork a while back.
00:58:14Okay.
00:58:16Okay.
00:58:16Okay.
00:58:17Okay.
00:58:18Ah, here it is.
00:58:22It seems like that deal fell through.
00:58:24What?
00:58:25Yeah.
00:58:26Did they say why?
00:58:27The client pulled out?
00:58:30No.
00:58:31No, that can be.
00:58:32I just spoke to them.
00:58:33I had a whole creative conversation about the commercial
00:58:38and what I wanted to do with it.
00:58:39I, they were excited about us.
00:58:44Look, I heard Barry said he didn't agree with the creative
00:58:47and that was a deal breaker for them.
00:58:49So he turned down the commercial.
00:58:51Hmm.
00:58:54I'm so sick of this.
00:58:55I've had enough.
00:58:56Whoa, whoa, whoa.
00:58:56Get your hands off of me.
00:58:58Mr. Barry.
00:59:00How dare you?
00:59:02Uh, excuse me?
00:59:04We are the band.
00:59:06You don't turn down a job without letting all of us decide.
00:59:11Okay.
00:59:12This is how the industry works.
00:59:15You signed the contract.
00:59:18You belong to us.
00:59:20We decide what's best or we find another band
00:59:24who will accommodate us as we need them to do.
00:59:32Go home.
00:59:34Get some rest.
00:59:35You look like hell.
00:59:38Yeah.
00:59:39Hold on.
00:59:40Lisa!
00:59:43Remember, there's plenty of girls waiting in line
00:59:46to take your place.
00:59:49Hey.
00:59:51Hey, yeah, no.
00:59:52No, I just had to give someone a little attitude adjustment.
00:59:55Uh-huh.
00:59:57Do you have a phone I can use?
00:59:59Sure, baby.
01:00:05This room right here.
01:00:07Lucas.
01:00:09We gotta talk.
01:00:10I stopped by accounting.
01:00:12I pulled up all contracts.
01:00:14And?
01:00:15Barry and Rocco turned down that commercial.
01:00:18Man, what the hell are we gonna do?
01:00:20I think we should bring in Toni.
01:00:22She's done this before.
01:00:23She's a backup singer, period!
01:00:24Okay, do you have a problem without female schooling you?
01:00:26That's your problem!
01:00:27Come back it off!
01:00:28Both of you!
01:00:29We need to figure out how to get out of these contracts
01:00:31before we tear each other apart.
01:00:34They the bad guys, not us, man!
01:00:36Yeah.
01:00:37Right.
01:00:38I know a guy who's done this before.
01:00:41I'm gonna give him a call.
01:00:42Oh, so we can call Toni, but we can call a stranger we barely know.
01:00:46Great!
01:00:46Lovely!
01:00:47Lovely!
01:00:47Please!
01:00:48We need to figure out what we're gonna do first before we'll let him know.
01:00:51Yeah?
01:00:52What?
01:00:54There's a few execs at the label that are concerned with your friendship with Toni.
01:00:57Who cares if I'm friends with Toni?
01:01:00You just listen to her way too much.
01:01:02You don't like the fact that I'm close to her?
01:01:04Or that she's gay?
01:01:05What?
01:01:05That's ridiculous.
01:01:06You know how many gay musicians are out there?
01:01:09A lot.
01:01:10You have a lot on your plate.
01:01:12We just don't need another voice in your head giving you advice.
01:01:16Yeah, come on, Lisa.
01:01:17Lisa, this is our band.
01:01:19We started this together.
01:01:21Lisa, hey, I like Toni, okay?
01:01:25And I don't care what she does for her free time, you know, but this, this could hurt us.
01:01:34No, it won't.
01:01:36Lisa.
01:01:36She's like a sister.
01:01:38She's my best friend.
01:01:40Time is money.
01:01:42Somebody do it.
01:01:43Do it.
01:01:44Listen.
01:01:45Stop worrying about Toni.
01:01:47And start looking into the contracts and how we keep losing money because of these guys.
01:02:00I told you, we don't need her.
01:02:03She's wet.
01:02:04Don't stop at me like that.
01:02:05How to get out of these contracts before we tear each other apart.
01:02:08We need this to our band's best.
01:02:10Or we find another band who will accommodate us as we need them.
01:02:14I'm a little pet, okay?
01:02:15I'm a man.
01:02:16There are plenty of girls waiting in line.
01:02:17We started this together.
01:02:19There's a few execs that are available that are concerned with you for sure to do it.
01:02:22I see how they are.
01:02:26The band's here to take you to the mall.
01:02:28Lisa, come on.
01:02:29Yeah, I'll be right there.
01:02:31Lisa, what are you doing?
01:02:33Rocco says the place is packed.
01:02:35Thank you, Mia.
01:02:37I can't hear everybody.
01:02:39You know he's ready.
01:02:40Yeah, I said I'll be right there.
01:02:42Thank you so much for coming on.
01:02:50This is a great turnout.
01:02:57I can't do this anymore.
01:02:59What?
01:03:00I need a break.
01:03:01All right, you'll get a break soon.
01:03:03I promise.
01:03:03No, now!
01:03:04Girl, you better calm down.
01:03:06I said you will get a break, all right?
01:03:09The sooner you start, the sooner you will finish.
01:03:12Get back to work.
01:03:18Hey, I'm sorry about that.
01:03:20I'm sorry.
01:03:26That should never happen.
01:03:27But I don't need that.
01:03:29That's right.
01:03:31Hi.
01:03:31Thank you so much for your patience.
01:03:36Oh, this is such a good thing, Charlie.
01:03:38Come on, Lisa.
01:03:38I've been waiting all day.
01:03:39Hey, can I please get a kiss?
01:03:40I'm sorry.
01:03:41No, you're not a kiss.
01:03:42Okay?
01:03:42Fine, come on.
01:03:43Lisa, please, fine.
01:03:43Sorry, just an autograph.
01:03:45No, man.
01:03:46Whoa, whoa, whoa.
01:03:47Oh, we good?
01:03:47We're good?
01:03:48Oh, sorry.
01:03:49What the hell are you doing, Tony?
01:03:51What?
01:03:51You can't be letting dudes get all grabby like that.
01:03:53These are fans.
01:03:54They're the reason why we're here.
01:03:55We can't be handling things like this.
01:03:57What the hell is that supposed to mean?
01:03:58It means how we got to be more thoughtful,
01:04:00how you handle situations, Tony.
01:04:02Not everything is a confrontation.
01:04:04What the hell is the matter with you?
01:04:06You've never had an issue before, all right?
01:04:08You look tired, and I mean, okay, you don't want to talk.
01:04:12You know what?
01:04:13I don't need this, all right?
01:04:15Because all I was doing was making sure you were all right
01:04:17like I always do.
01:04:18Oh, you don't.
01:04:19Don't check on me for once.
01:04:21I already have a brother.
01:04:23I don't need another one hovering over me.
01:04:25Oh, you don't need another one hovering over me.
01:04:36I'm so happy to sleep.
01:04:38I'm so happy to sleep.
01:04:39I'm so happy to sleep.
01:04:42Oh, I'm so happy to sleep.
01:04:46I'm so happy to sleep.
01:04:47You good?
01:04:48Yeah.
01:04:50I'm good.
01:04:51Just tired.
01:04:56I don't know what's going on.
01:05:06Oh, man.
01:05:08Riding in style.
01:05:09That's nice.
01:05:09Look at this, man.
01:05:10What is lame-ass Tony riding with us to the show for?
01:05:15I don't know, man. Ask Lisa.
01:05:17I will.
01:05:18What are you asking me for?
01:05:20You got a mind reader?
01:05:21I don't know, man. Ask Lisa.
01:05:29Why aren't you listening to Rocco?
01:05:31The label doesn't want her around,
01:05:32and she's messing with our money.
01:05:33I invited her, Mike.
01:05:35Yeah, and that's the problem.
01:05:36We keep making all these decisions without consulting the group,
01:05:38and we're sick and tired of it. Right, Alex?
01:05:41Guys, listen, look, I'm a lover, not a fighter, all right?
01:05:43Can we just talk about it later?
01:05:45Right now, we just need to focus.
01:05:46No, we can't talk about it later.
01:05:48I was gonna keep this between just us,
01:05:52but I had a lawyer look over everything.
01:05:54And those contracts that we signed,
01:05:56put Rocco in charge of everything.
01:05:58He screwed us.
01:06:00Nah, you screwed yourself.
01:06:02I already told you, the music game.
01:06:04You either hustle, or you get hustled.
01:06:06And you got hustled.
01:06:09Yeah.
01:06:10Just like your daddy be hustling you, right?
01:06:12Who the hell you talking to?
01:06:13I'm talking to you. I'm talking to you.
01:06:14Chill! Chill! Chill! Chill!
01:06:17Chill! Chill!
01:06:17Back your ass up!
01:06:18Dude, you need to be out of here, now!
01:06:20Chill out!
01:06:21Stop! Mike, stop dissing her!
01:06:25This is the biggest night of our careers,
01:06:27and you guys are wildin' in a damn car?!
01:06:40Man, what are we gonna do about these contracts?
01:06:42Nothing!
01:06:42What do you mean, nothing?
01:06:43Those contracts are signed.
01:06:45We signed them!
01:06:47I just bought my mom a house,
01:06:49my brother a car,
01:06:50I'm paying for my sister's college!
01:06:52That can all go away tomorrow like that!
01:06:56Let's just ride this wave until we can renegotiate.
01:06:59Cause I ain't going back to folding sweaters in the stockroom.
01:07:02You hear me?
01:07:17Baby, I think I love you from head to toe.
01:07:24I think I love you from head to toe.
01:07:30Oh, no!
01:07:33You can't fight everybody, Tony!
01:07:35You're lucky Barry wasn't there!
01:07:37Me? I don't care about Barry.
01:07:39All right, he's the one that started.
01:07:40Stop! Stop!
01:07:42I can't handle this!
01:07:43Handle what?
01:07:44The truth?
01:07:45I've been saying the same thing over and over and over.
01:07:47Now what's happening?
01:07:49Now what's the problem?
01:07:50What is up with you?
01:07:51You've been acting different from once now.
01:07:53You never acted like this.
01:07:55I always kept it real with you.
01:07:57He, in fact, has been talking to me crazy,
01:07:59and I'm not gonna keep around with it.
01:08:00Maybe you don't know what the hell you're talking about, Tony!
01:08:03Okay.
01:08:04Maybe I can stick up for myself!
01:08:07Do it.
01:08:11The rise of hip-hop and electronic dance music
01:08:13is forcing the freestyle genre to fade.
01:08:34I'll be back in a minute to check on you.
01:08:39It's Lisa.
01:08:40Lisa.
01:08:42Hi.
01:09:01It's Lisa.
01:09:03She's killing it, right?
01:09:05Hey, let's see what you got.
01:09:09Yeah, that's it.
01:09:11Nah, keep going.
01:09:16What's up?
01:09:17I stopped out to get my chick.
01:09:19I didn't know when he was rehearsing.
01:09:21Who was that?
01:09:22She's cute.
01:09:24Tony!
01:09:27Do you have a minute?
01:09:28Yeah.
01:09:29Come and be in a bit.
01:09:38Here, I'm gonna be holding this out.
01:09:42Here, let's go.
01:09:45Anything is gonna be holding it down.
01:09:46Okay, I'm gonna be holding it.
01:09:54He's putting it in the middle of the way.
01:09:55I'm getting off the middle of the night.
01:09:55I'm gonna be holding it down.
01:09:57He's getting off it.
01:09:58He's not so much.
01:09:59I'm getting off the menu of my brother.
01:09:59He's doing it.
01:10:25I need a job, man.
01:10:31Is that all you need?
01:10:37Hey!
01:10:39I told you.
01:10:43You'll be back.
01:10:49Let me show you how I feel.
01:10:59Oh, boy.
01:11:01We can make it.
01:11:03We can make it work.
01:11:05Hey, that was good.
01:11:06I want to do it one more time, okay?
01:11:08Hey, look who's back.
01:11:10It's so good to see you, Lisa.
01:11:14You look terrible.
01:11:15You're not pregnant, right?
01:11:17Shut up, Spanador.
01:11:19Who's that?
01:11:20Um, that is, um...
01:11:25Spanador?
01:11:27Mike.
01:11:28Mike!
01:11:31Lisa, hear me out.
01:11:32Where's Stoney?
01:11:34Where's Stoney?
01:11:38Lisa?
01:11:42I told you.
01:11:48Barry!
01:11:50I'm gonna have to call you back.
01:11:52What happened to Tony?
01:11:54I was gonna explain it to you.
01:11:56Who the hell said to let her go?
01:11:57It was a group decision.
01:11:58I'm a part of this group.
01:12:01Tony's toxic, okay?
01:12:02She's violent.
01:12:04We do not need an individual like that on the road.
01:12:07She's a liability.
01:12:08I need her.
01:12:08I need her on the road.
01:12:10I want her back.
01:12:11No.
01:12:12What?
01:12:13It was a management decision.
01:12:15I'll just go bring her back here.
01:12:16You know, if you go after her,
01:12:18I have to believe that you are not serious
01:12:20about your career.
01:12:22You could lose everything you have worked for.
01:12:26And for what?
01:12:28Some lesbian?
01:12:30How dare you?
01:12:32What does it matter who she sleeps with
01:12:34or who she is?
01:12:38You don't like Tony because she sees through your lives.
01:12:42Mm-hmm.
01:12:44You don't like her because she teaches me
01:12:46about snakes like you.
01:12:49I'm not gonna go on without her.
01:12:53Period.
01:12:54Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
01:12:55You're from the ghetto.
01:12:57You never graduated from high school.
01:12:59You cannot make it in this business
01:13:01without someone like me.
01:13:11Watch me.
01:13:25Have you seen Tony?
01:13:27Can I get a picture?
01:13:28I'm so sorry, girls.
01:13:28I can't write you.
01:13:31Lisa?
01:13:32Why are you looking for Tony?
01:13:35Is she using again?
01:13:36I didn't know she used.
01:13:37You don't wanna know she used.
01:13:41Maybe not.
01:13:42Well, Pops, she's using again.
01:13:44She'll be with him.
01:13:44He's a drug addict pimp.
01:13:46Living somewhere in the projects.
01:13:48If you find him, you'll find her.
01:13:51Thanks.
01:13:52Hey, Lisa, you gotta save her.
01:13:55If she stays in a project, she'll end up just like her father.
01:13:59Music's all she has.
01:14:03Can we just get an autograph?
01:14:04Get out of the way!
01:14:05Hey, Lisa?
01:14:06Be careful.
01:14:08Project's no place for a girl after sunset.
01:14:12Yo, I don't think she's breathing.
01:14:15She'll be all right.
01:14:18I don't know, B.
01:14:19We need to do something.
01:14:21This your daughter, man.
01:14:23It's a grown-ass woman.
01:14:25She ain't did nothing she ain't wanna do.
01:14:27Tony!
01:14:28What the hell is that?
01:14:29Tony!
01:14:29Are you here?
01:14:31Hey, get the piece now.
01:14:32Hold me down.
01:14:34What the hell you doing here?
01:14:38You hear me talking to you?
01:14:40Tony!
01:14:41Hey!
01:14:42Tony!
01:14:43Tony!
01:14:44No, no!
01:14:45Get up!
01:14:46Get up!
01:14:47She's barely breathing!
01:14:49She ain't going nowhere.
01:14:54She's gonna die.
01:14:56We all gotta go sometime.
01:14:58But you?
01:14:59You ain't going nowhere, Baudicua.
01:15:09There are off-duty police officers waiting for me outside.
01:15:14If they come over here, and they spot that pile of cocaine you got there, they're gonna pick you up
01:15:22for the multiple warrants you probably have, and you will die in prison. You hear me?
01:15:35Come get outside.
01:15:39Having babies don't make you a father.
01:15:42Caring for them does.
01:15:45You ain't no father.
01:15:48Hey, Baudicua.
01:15:50Don't ever let her come back here.
01:16:01Come here.
01:16:03Come here.
01:16:14What day is it?
01:16:16Tuesday?
01:16:18You've been out all night.
01:16:39You've been out all night.
01:16:49But why?
01:16:50Why didn't you say anything?
01:16:53I didn't tell anyone, because I was...
01:16:58Because I was scared.
01:17:00Scared of what?
01:17:03Scared of losing everything.
01:17:07You know, when I was a kid, I would stand on a chair in the kitchen and just dream I
01:17:14was on a stage singing.
01:17:17You know, that I was the one coming out of Radio City Music Hall in a limo.
01:17:24That I would take care of mommy and that I would make...
01:17:28Bellagio proud.
01:17:30They'd seen me all successful.
01:17:36For a while it felt like everything we were living was that dream.
01:17:46And the moment anyone said cancer, I would...
01:17:52I would just lose it all.
01:17:57That everything would be gone.
01:17:59You know, the tour, the bands, the money.
01:18:06You...
01:18:08I was terrified of losing you.
01:18:12And I was so angry at you.
01:18:17Why did you do that?
01:18:21I once...
01:18:24I asked a junkie...
01:18:28How did he start getting high?
01:18:31This guy was a track star.
01:18:33He...
01:18:34I don't know, he ended up...
01:18:36strung out in the projects most nights.
01:18:40But he said when you...
01:18:42spend your life...
01:18:44being numb...
01:18:48drugs help you to feel something.
01:18:51And I guess I just...
01:18:53I just wanted to feel something.
01:18:55I've been selling...
01:18:56rock for my pops if it's never about the money.
01:19:00I just wanted him to love me.
01:19:06Tony...
01:19:06I guess I just...
01:19:09I gotta accept the fact that he'll never be able to do that.
01:19:15You can't force anyone to love you the way you want.
01:19:20I know that.
01:19:23Now.
01:19:26Do you?
01:19:36You're my best friend.
01:19:39My sister.
01:19:40My family.
01:19:43I don't ever want to lose you.
01:19:46You will ever lose me.
01:19:48You got that?
01:19:52Then no more secrets.
01:19:57No secrets.
01:20:00Cause sisters don't keep secrets.
01:20:03Okay?
01:20:07No more secrets.
01:20:10I think there's one more person you need to tell.
01:20:16Lisa!
01:20:17My son!
01:20:17You're a novel!
01:20:20My son!
01:20:23My son!
01:20:24It's been so long since I've seen you, baby.
01:20:27What are you doing here?
01:20:29I'm sorry, Mommy.
01:20:32I've been busy.
01:20:34I have so much to tell you.
01:20:36But...
01:20:36What are you doing Saturday night?
01:20:44It will be alright.
01:20:49It will be alright.
01:20:54It will be alright.
01:20:54It will be alright.
01:21:02We did it, Mom.
01:21:06Yes, we did.
01:21:33Hi, Mommy.
01:21:35I got you seats in the front row.
01:21:39We'll eat after, yeah?
01:21:41Mm-hmm.
01:21:43Yeah.
01:21:46Baby.
01:21:48So cute.
01:21:53Yeah?
01:21:57It's time.
01:22:02I'll see you later.
01:22:03Yeah.
01:22:05Hey.
01:22:07I got you something.
01:22:11What?!
01:22:13I thought I lost them!
01:22:15It was in some of the boxes from when you moved.
01:22:18Ha!
01:22:19Figured you might need it, since you never went anywhere without them.
01:22:34Lisa?
01:22:37It's not that I didn't think you could take the D train alone, or pay for Mama's bills, or do
