1
00:00:33,400 --> 00:00:37,200
This film is based on a true story.
2
00:00:37,200 --> 00:00:43,000
To be precise, on different truths and stories.
3
00:00:43,291 --> 00:00:47,416
We want Rob! We want Rob!
4
00:00:50,166 --> 00:00:52,375
You might not believe it,
5
00:00:53,666 --> 00:00:55,000
but it's true:
6
00:00:55,708 --> 00:01:00,208
We once were the biggest stars on the planet.
7
00:01:01,653 --> 00:01:07,653

8
00:01:12,625 --> 00:01:14,458
- I love you brother.
- Love you too.
9
00:01:15,666 --> 00:01:17,333
Come on!
10
00:01:17,416 --> 00:01:18,583
Come on!
11
00:01:21,791 --> 00:01:23,416
And you know why?
12
00:01:29,625 --> 00:01:30,875
Because of you.
13
00:01:41,166 --> 00:01:43,083
Because you loved us.
14
00:01:59,166 --> 00:02:02,000
Okay, I know what you're thinking now.
15
00:02:02,625 --> 00:02:04,208
Milli Vanilli.
16
00:02:05,166 --> 00:02:07,541
Didn't they betray the whole world?
17
00:02:07,916 --> 00:02:09,083
Well,
18
00:02:09,458 --> 00:02:10,708
kind of...
19
00:02:10,791 --> 00:02:13,875
But there's another side to this story.
20
00:02:14,666 --> 00:02:17,708
Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying we're saints.
21
00:02:18,166 --> 00:02:21,458
It was 1989 and we were rock stars.
22
00:02:21,958 --> 00:02:24,958
So... let's be real here, okay?
23
00:02:26,333 --> 00:02:29,333
You probably heard all kinds of things about us.
24
00:02:29,416 --> 00:02:30,500
That we were...
25
00:02:31,083 --> 00:02:34,333
Fakes, frauds, liars, thieves...
26
00:02:34,416 --> 00:02:36,625
Drug addicts, sex addicts...
27
00:02:36,708 --> 00:02:40,500
puppets on a string... Did I forget something?
28
00:02:40,583 --> 00:02:43,250
Rob, I hate to tell you,
29
00:02:43,333 --> 00:02:47,291
but I think most of them never heard anything about us at all.
30
00:02:47,375 --> 00:02:50,625
They are thinking: Who the fuck is Milli Vanilli?
31
00:02:57,541 --> 00:03:01,666
I guess you could say our story began right here.
32
00:03:04,125 --> 00:03:07,500
Without this guy, none of it would have ever happened.
33
00:03:33,625 --> 00:03:35,750
His name is Frank.
34
00:03:35,833 --> 00:03:39,416
And 20 years later Frank hit it big
35
00:03:39,500 --> 00:03:41,125
with a project called
36
00:03:41,208 --> 00:03:42,458
Boney M.
37
00:04:02,500 --> 00:04:05,041
Sounds very good.
38
00:04:05,125 --> 00:04:08,125
Only the violins need to be even more precise:
39
00:04:10,916 --> 00:04:12,083
Listen!
40
00:04:15,916 --> 00:04:18,541
Di-di-di-da. Not like that, just like that!
41
00:04:18,625 --> 00:04:20,083
Good? Um, again!
42
00:04:53,083 --> 00:04:55,541
Everyone fell in love with Boney M.
43
00:04:58,041 --> 00:04:59,750
Including my friend Rob.
44
00:05:02,750 --> 00:05:04,083
Robert!
45
00:05:05,791 --> 00:05:06,750
Robert!
46
00:05:11,250 --> 00:05:12,291
Robert.
47
00:05:12,375 --> 00:05:13,583
can't you hear
48
00:05:13,666 --> 00:05:15,166
Your father is calling you, come.
49
00:05:24,041 --> 00:05:26,291
there you are. Come in.
50
00:05:27,666 --> 00:05:28,875
This is Robert.
51
00:05:29,708 --> 00:05:31,333
Our son.
52
00:05:32,083 --> 00:05:35,250
Robert, this is Helga, Klaus and Renaud.
53
00:05:35,333 --> 00:05:38,625
They're part of our advocacy group for Africa.
54
00:05:39,875 --> 00:05:40,875
Hello.
55
00:05:41,416 --> 00:05:42,416
Hello.
56
00:05:43,583 --> 00:05:44,916
May I?
57
00:05:48,083 --> 00:05:51,208
That was pretty much the moment I realized for the first time
58
00:05:51,291 --> 00:05:53,625
why my parents had adopted me.
59
00:05:54,458 --> 00:05:56,833
They wanted to prove something to the world.
60
00:05:59,458 --> 00:06:00,458
Good day.
61
00:06:02,583 --> 00:06:04,083
Good day.
62
00:06:24,291 --> 00:06:25,291
Carmen?
63
00:06:29,583 --> 00:06:33,208
- Am I related to Boney M?
- Nonsense.
64
00:06:36,333 --> 00:06:39,541
Robert, there are many people like you. Just not here.
65
00:06:44,125 --> 00:06:46,875
Your real father is an American soldier.
66
00:06:47,250 --> 00:06:48,958
Really?
67
00:06:49,708 --> 00:06:51,000
Are you sure?
68
00:06:52,125 --> 00:06:53,250
Certain.
69
00:06:59,375 --> 00:07:01,250
How far is America?
70
00:07:02,083 --> 00:07:03,291
Very, very far.
71
00:07:05,166 --> 00:07:06,458
As far as the Moon.
72
00:07:17,916 --> 00:07:20,833
That's one small step for man,
73
00:07:21,708 --> 00:07:24,375
one giant leap for mankind.
74
00:07:28,291 --> 00:07:30,875
You gotta understand. With all the music videos
75
00:07:30,958 --> 00:07:34,958
suddenly watching music became just as important as listening to music.
76
00:07:35,541 --> 00:07:39,458
That's why we're perfect for MTV. And MTV was perfect for us.
77
00:07:39,541 --> 00:07:40,916
Fab, you're moving way too fast.
78
00:07:41,000 --> 00:07:44,083
I'm what? How long do you want to talk about the childhood?
79
00:07:44,416 --> 00:07:45,708
They get it man.
80
00:07:45,791 --> 00:07:47,791
At least go to 1986.
81
00:07:51,208 --> 00:07:52,791
Are you in a good mood?
82
00:07:53,416 --> 00:07:55,125
What's up? We are the Bionic Dance Group.
83
00:07:55,208 --> 00:07:57,750
My name is Georgio "Hot Legs".
84
00:07:57,833 --> 00:08:00,916
And on the turntable, we got the one and only Chris Laird.
85
00:08:03,250 --> 00:08:04,416
Let's go!
86
00:08:04,958 --> 00:08:06,500
And fresh from Munich:
87
00:08:08,083 --> 00:08:09,041
Rob Pilatus!
88
00:08:13,416 --> 00:08:15,291
Make some noise for Rob!
89
00:08:15,375 --> 00:08:17,958
- Go Rob! - Go Rob, go Rob, go Rob!
90
00:08:35,291 --> 00:08:36,458
It tastes good.
91
00:08:40,666 --> 00:08:43,791
Mrs. Winkler saw you in the pedestrian zone.
92
00:08:46,583 --> 00:08:48,583
Is this what you want to do with your life?
93
00:08:49,375 --> 00:08:50,375
Robert?
94
00:08:51,708 --> 00:08:53,083
I think it's great that...
95
00:08:53,541 --> 00:08:55,666
music is your passion.
96
00:08:56,833 --> 00:08:59,625
But... walking around the pedestrian zone?
97
00:09:01,250 --> 00:09:04,208
I'm not walking around, Dad, I'm break dancing, okay?
98
00:09:07,125 --> 00:09:09,875
Robert has a show on TV next week, Dad.
99
00:09:12,958 --> 00:09:14,166
Ah, wonderful.
100
00:09:14,833 --> 00:09:17,009
So he can afford his own apartment.
101
00:09:17,033 --> 00:09:17,750
Hans!
102
00:09:18,833 --> 00:09:21,458
If you want, I'll move out, Dad.
103
00:09:24,333 --> 00:09:25,500
Do you want me to move?
104
00:09:27,916 --> 00:09:29,208
Do you!?
105
00:09:36,958 --> 00:09:37,958
Robert?
106
00:09:40,541 --> 00:09:41,625
Where will you be going?
107
00:09:46,833 --> 00:09:48,375
Can I have your Walkman?
108
00:09:51,041 --> 00:09:52,041
Of course.
109
00:09:59,875 --> 00:10:01,791
Hey! Where are you going?
110
00:10:02,791 --> 00:10:03,916
Do you need help?
111
00:10:27,125 --> 00:10:28,416
Fab Morvan?
112
00:10:29,958 --> 00:10:31,125
Fab Morvan?
113
00:10:31,208 --> 00:10:34,625
- The director wants to talk to you on the choreo. - Ok, yeah.
114
00:10:34,708 --> 00:10:36,250
You are Fab Morvan, no?
115
00:10:36,333 --> 00:10:37,583
No, I'm Rob.
116
00:10:37,958 --> 00:10:38,958
Robert Pilatus.
117
00:10:39,291 --> 00:10:41,666
- Ah, okay! The breakdancer...
- Exactly.
118
00:10:41,750 --> 00:10:45,458
- I need your address. - At the moment I don't have the address.
119
00:10:46,250 --> 00:10:47,958
Hello.
120
00:10:48,541 --> 00:10:50,291
I'm Fabrice from Paris.
121
00:10:50,375 --> 00:10:53,416
Sorry I'm late. The tram. So slow.
122
00:10:54,416 --> 00:10:56,833
- Are you ok?
- No problem at all.
123
00:10:58,208 --> 00:11:00,583
So Rob and Fab! Sounds like a band.
124
00:11:01,208 --> 00:11:03,416
Come with me please.
125
00:11:05,875 --> 00:11:06,958
Eh, no.
126
00:11:07,333 --> 00:11:10,416
Only Fab, coz he's doing the choreography. But I'll catch you later.
127
00:11:10,500 --> 00:11:12,125
Okay, yeah...cool.
128
00:11:34,166 --> 00:11:34,825
Cut! Cut!
129
00:11:35,500 --> 00:11:36,363
Sorry, Stefania.
130
00:11:36,387 --> 00:11:39,000
Rob, no break dance, okay? No top rocks.
131
00:11:39,666 --> 00:11:42,833
Just do the dance. You have to be in sync, okay?
132
00:11:43,166 --> 00:11:46,125
- Fabrice?
- Hey, no freestyle, do the choreography.
133
00:11:46,208 --> 00:11:48,291
- You're always late on the one.
- Bullshit.
134
00:11:48,375 --> 00:11:50,416
- I'm hip hop. - I live for the beat, okay.
135
00:11:50,500 --> 00:11:52,541
Come on man. It's just a job. Be professional.
136
00:11:54,625 --> 00:11:56,708
I just give them what they want.
137
00:11:56,791 --> 00:11:58,708
Five, six, seven, eight.
138
00:11:58,791 --> 00:12:00,416
One two three four...
139
00:12:00,875 --> 00:12:04,000
- ... five, six, seven, eight. - Don't forget to smile!
140
00:12:04,083 --> 00:12:06,041
... three, four, five, six...
141
00:12:06,125 --> 00:12:07,958
- Are we good? - Okay!
142
00:12:08,333 --> 00:12:09,625
And action!
143
00:12:49,541 --> 00:12:50,833
Masterpiece, right?
144
00:12:51,375 --> 00:12:52,875
I prefer girls, actually.
145
00:12:54,958 --> 00:12:56,208
Yeah, me too.
146
00:12:58,083 --> 00:13:00,291
- So what are you doing here man?
- Dancing.
147
00:13:01,083 --> 00:13:03,958
- Why not dance in Paris? - I was, but...
148
00:13:04,041 --> 00:13:06,125
...there are ten thousand dancers like me.
149
00:13:06,666 --> 00:13:08,625
Here, I'm the only black guy.
150
00:13:11,166 --> 00:13:12,083
I thought...
151
00:13:15,500 --> 00:13:16,875
So, Rob and Fab.
152
00:13:18,458 --> 00:13:20,291
Really does sound like a band don't you think?
153
00:13:20,916 --> 00:13:22,125
Can you sing?
154
00:13:23,083 --> 00:13:24,166
I'm okay.
155
00:13:26,416 --> 00:13:28,375
I want to take lessons but they're expensive.
156
00:13:29,416 --> 00:13:33,458
My mom, she thinks dancing, music, that's not the real thing.
157
00:13:34,166 --> 00:13:38,166
- Tell me about it. - Some day I'm going to make her proud.
158
00:13:38,833 --> 00:13:40,416
I'm gonna be somebody.
159
00:13:42,833 --> 00:13:44,666
I like your jacket, by the way.
160
00:13:45,583 --> 00:13:47,083
Can I try it on?
161
00:13:52,458 --> 00:13:53,583
Super, Frank.
162
00:13:59,250 --> 00:14:00,458
Wonderful.
163
00:14:02,333 --> 00:14:03,500
That's great.
164
00:14:15,708 --> 00:14:17,708
Need a better microphone?
165
00:14:17,791 --> 00:14:21,000
I could get the mic that Stevie Wonder used here.
166
00:14:21,083 --> 00:14:23,958
- You knew Stevie and I were here...
- Yes.
167
00:14:24,416 --> 00:14:26,541
- Yes?
- Are those your kids?
168
00:14:30,083 --> 00:14:31,291
It's the neighbor's.
169
00:14:33,250 --> 00:14:34,708
I really don't have time.
170
00:14:36,083 --> 00:14:37,291
Mr. Farian,
171
00:14:37,958 --> 00:14:40,875
Boney M. is a worldwide phenomenon.
172
00:14:40,958 --> 00:14:42,708
They were equal to the Queen...
173
00:14:42,791 --> 00:14:44,625
Heh.
174
00:14:44,708 --> 00:14:46,625
Only in the USA does no one know about them.
175
00:14:47,125 --> 00:14:48,208
Does that hurt you?
176
00:14:49,583 --> 00:14:51,791
No why? That's because of the label.
177
00:14:56,500 --> 00:15:01,625
What do you make of the accusations that Boney M. are just dancing dolls?
178
00:15:02,083 --> 00:15:04,583
- Where are you from?
- From the Saarland Cultural Committee.
179
00:15:05,458 --> 00:15:08,583
Listen, I've done interviews with Rolling Stone,
180
00:15:09,250 --> 00:15:12,333
on Time Out... and nobody asked such nonsense.
181
00:15:12,416 --> 00:15:16,875
Liz is first soloist and Marcia sings and Bobby does brilliantly.
182
00:15:16,958 --> 00:15:19,583
- Have some respect for that!
- Do you have respect for that?
183
00:15:19,666 --> 00:15:21,166
There are arguments about money.
184
00:15:21,708 --> 00:15:23,916
The interview is over. Is enough.
185
00:15:25,125 --> 00:15:26,416
Final.
186
00:15:26,500 --> 00:15:28,291
One more question please.
187
00:15:29,000 --> 00:15:30,041
Please.
188
00:15:33,458 --> 00:15:35,000
Do you have a job for me?
189
00:15:38,791 --> 00:15:41,166
- What's your name, again?
- Ingrid.
190
00:15:41,958 --> 00:15:43,416
But my name is Milli.
191
00:15:46,333 --> 00:15:47,208
Milli?
192
00:15:47,958 --> 00:15:48,875
And.
193
00:15:56,333 --> 00:15:57,416
Very cool.
194
00:16:05,583 --> 00:16:07,583
And now something really cool.
195
00:16:08,583 --> 00:16:09,666
So pretty!
196
00:16:13,291 --> 00:16:14,958
I love the jacket.
197
00:16:15,041 --> 00:16:16,958
Let's act like you're a real superstar.
198
00:16:20,416 --> 00:16:22,458
And louder!
199
00:16:29,666 --> 00:16:31,125
I love you guys.
200
00:16:31,791 --> 00:16:35,083
We send these pics to all agencies in town.
201
00:16:35,166 --> 00:16:36,166
And...
202
00:16:37,666 --> 00:16:39,666
We did get some jobs.
203
00:16:39,750 --> 00:16:41,666
But it wasn't enough at all.
204
00:16:41,750 --> 00:16:44,666
Sometimes we had to steal food from the supermarket.
205
00:16:45,500 --> 00:16:49,291
Luckily, Georgio let us stay in his family's garage.
206
00:16:49,375 --> 00:16:50,375
Yeah.
207
00:17:04,875 --> 00:17:07,000
I don't know where all of this is going.
208
00:17:07,333 --> 00:17:08,541
What do you mean?
209
00:17:09,333 --> 00:17:10,541
Everything is going great.
210
00:17:10,625 --> 00:17:13,125
Yeah, I'm not going to ask my Mom for money again.
211
00:17:13,208 --> 00:17:14,083
Hey!
212
00:17:14,833 --> 00:17:16,541
Do you believe in us or not?
213
00:17:17,500 --> 00:17:18,416
Do you?
214
00:17:21,500 --> 00:17:24,625
- That's all we need, man. Faith.
- No, that's not all we need.
215
00:17:25,083 --> 00:17:28,541
If we really want to be a band, we need to work on songs.
216
00:17:28,625 --> 00:17:30,208
We need a plan.
217
00:17:30,291 --> 00:17:31,291
Yes!
218
00:17:31,833 --> 00:17:33,041
You're right.
219
00:17:39,166 --> 00:17:40,750
But you know what else we need?
220
00:17:43,000 --> 00:17:46,166
- We are not supposed to... - Shh...
- Rob. - Quiet.
221
00:17:46,250 --> 00:17:48,708
What if Georgio's parents find us here?
222
00:17:49,375 --> 00:17:50,333
Rob?
223
00:17:51,250 --> 00:17:52,250
Hey!
224
00:17:52,333 --> 00:17:55,125
- What are we doing here?
- I want to show you something.
225
00:17:59,333 --> 00:18:00,500
Okay.
226
00:18:00,583 --> 00:18:01,583
Ready?
227
00:18:04,958 --> 00:18:07,791
- What did you just see? - Marilyn Monroe.
228
00:18:09,791 --> 00:18:10,750
Elvis.
229
00:18:12,041 --> 00:18:13,750
Tina Turner.
230
00:18:15,250 --> 00:18:18,333
Look at all these stars.
231
00:18:21,375 --> 00:18:22,625
It's the hair man.
232
00:18:23,958 --> 00:18:25,500
The unique looks.
233
00:18:26,125 --> 00:18:28,250
- Holy shit.
- Exactly.
234
00:19:48,958 --> 00:19:52,208
Mother? I'm sorry I haven't called you in so long.
235
00:19:52,791 --> 00:19:53,791
How are you?
236
00:19:54,958 --> 00:19:56,375
Yes, everything is great with us.
237
00:19:57,000 --> 00:19:58,541
We are making progress.
238
00:19:58,875 --> 00:20:03,166
Next week we meet with Frank Farian, the producer of Boney M.
239
00:20:03,250 --> 00:20:05,208
His assistant saw us dancing.
240
00:20:06,125 --> 00:20:07,541
Boney M, mother!
241
00:20:07,625 --> 00:20:09,750
Of course you know them. You know.
242
00:20:18,000 --> 00:20:19,166
But it's the truth!
243
00:20:19,250 --> 00:20:21,666
I would never lie to you, mother. This is the truth!
244
00:21:03,250 --> 00:21:08,333
- Hey, let's... switch the... the jackets, okay?
- No. That's my jacket, I keep it. That's it!
245
00:21:09,125 --> 00:21:11,583
- You are such a diva man.
- I'm a diva, really?
246
00:21:11,666 --> 00:21:14,000
- Yeah!
- It took you like forever to get dressed.
247
00:21:14,083 --> 00:21:15,708
- Calm down.
- You calm down.
248
00:21:15,791 --> 00:21:17,208
- Let me do the talk.
- Stop!
249
00:21:26,083 --> 00:21:28,916
Wow! Yes, well done, baby.
250
00:21:31,291 --> 00:21:32,583
Any soup?
251
00:21:33,958 --> 00:21:37,250
You know, when I was little, this is all we ever ate, yeah?
252
00:21:37,333 --> 00:21:38,583
Potato soup.
253
00:21:38,666 --> 00:21:42,791
We were very poor, so yeah, I -I learned to make something out of nothing.
254
00:21:43,250 --> 00:21:47,333
Season it with little ingredients. Make the perfect mix, you know?
255
00:21:47,416 --> 00:21:48,666
Like your music.
256
00:21:52,041 --> 00:21:53,916
I love your hair. Is it real?
257
00:21:55,500 --> 00:21:56,500
No.
258
00:21:57,625 --> 00:21:59,291
And yours?
259
00:22:00,500 --> 00:22:03,666
Frank, we practiced some new dance moves for you.
260
00:22:04,208 --> 00:22:05,541
You're gonna love it.
261
00:22:05,916 --> 00:22:07,625
Better than anything on MTV.
262
00:22:11,541 --> 00:22:13,541
I'm not looking for dancers.
263
00:22:13,625 --> 00:22:15,958
And I'm not looking for singers either.
264
00:22:16,958 --> 00:22:18,458
I am looking...
265
00:22:20,541 --> 00:22:21,916
...for stars!
266
00:22:26,666 --> 00:22:28,208
We got a song for you.
267
00:22:51,125 --> 00:22:52,791
We need a lawyer, Rob.
268
00:22:52,875 --> 00:22:55,375
- I don't even understand the words!
- Fab!
269
00:22:55,833 --> 00:22:58,541
This is Frank Farian! The producer of Boney M.
270
00:22:59,041 --> 00:23:00,958
He worked with Stevie Wonder!
271
00:23:01,541 --> 00:23:04,750
- And you heard the song too.
- Yes, I love the song.
272
00:23:04,833 --> 00:23:06,125
It's incredible.
273
00:23:07,000 --> 00:23:10,875
And they give us 10,000 bucks. Advance!
274
00:23:11,291 --> 00:23:14,291
- 10,000! - He hasn't even heard us sing.
275
00:23:14,375 --> 00:23:17,041
He believes in us. He sees the stars in us, Fab!
276
00:23:18,291 --> 00:23:19,416
Guys?
277
00:23:19,500 --> 00:23:20,958
You care for some ice cream?
278
00:23:22,875 --> 00:23:24,000
So,
279
00:23:24,416 --> 00:23:26,083
if we sign this one,
280
00:23:26,416 --> 00:23:27,708
what's gonna happen next?
281
00:23:28,625 --> 00:23:31,500
What happens next? Nobody knows what happens...
282
00:23:31,583 --> 00:23:33,875
You work on the song, do a photoshoot
283
00:23:33,958 --> 00:23:36,041
and we take the whole package to our German label.
284
00:23:36,125 --> 00:23:38,500
And hopefully, they like you.
285
00:23:39,208 --> 00:23:40,291
Yeah.
286
00:23:40,375 --> 00:23:41,833
One last thing Frank.
287
00:23:43,291 --> 00:23:45,541
- The Name of the project?
- What about it?
288
00:23:46,125 --> 00:23:47,166
It's great.
289
00:23:47,250 --> 00:23:50,041
"Top deck", like top deck of a ship... you know?
290
00:23:50,583 --> 00:23:53,333
Top Deck? It's a top name. "Top Deck!"
291
00:23:54,625 --> 00:23:57,333
To be honest, I don't like it either. I think it's a little...
292
00:24:00,541 --> 00:24:01,458
German.
293
00:24:02,041 --> 00:24:05,333
I am german! Not everybody studied politics like you.
294
00:24:05,958 --> 00:24:09,250
- Frank, sit down...
- You're making me anxious.
295
00:24:13,333 --> 00:24:16,583
I make music for the people. And I'm not ashamed of it.
296
00:24:17,000 --> 00:24:21,750
Besides, it's just a temporary project name. You could put any name there.
Put your name there!
297
00:24:21,833 --> 00:24:22,750
Milli.
298
00:24:23,083 --> 00:24:24,916
Our lucky charm.
299
00:24:25,250 --> 00:24:26,625
I like it.
300
00:24:28,625 --> 00:24:30,875
That's not enough. I think...
301
00:24:30,958 --> 00:24:32,291
there's something missing.
302
00:24:34,208 --> 00:24:35,125
Like what?
303
00:24:46,500 --> 00:24:47,875
Simply perfect!
304
00:25:12,208 --> 00:25:14,750
- Come on, give me your jacket, please.
- Man...
305
00:25:29,083 --> 00:25:30,791
This your song, right?
306
00:25:32,500 --> 00:25:33,708
You're singing this?
307
00:25:34,291 --> 00:25:36,000
Yeah. We will be.
308
00:25:36,083 --> 00:25:38,208
I didn't even know you sing.
309
00:25:38,291 --> 00:25:40,708
Why you being so negative Melly? I mean the song is dope.
310
00:25:42,000 --> 00:25:43,541
- It's really wonderful.
- Yeah!
311
00:25:43,625 --> 00:25:46,000
- I like the song, I'm just uh...
- It's bullshit!
312
00:25:47,000 --> 00:25:48,041
I know this song.
313
00:25:48,625 --> 00:25:50,083
The band's called Numarx.
314
00:25:51,000 --> 00:25:52,208
DJs have this.
315
00:25:52,791 --> 00:25:54,583
They play it all the time on East side.
316
00:25:57,458 --> 00:25:58,583
Why are you lying to us?
317
00:26:04,375 --> 00:26:06,333
Yes, of course the song already exists!
318
00:26:06,791 --> 00:26:08,833
- Didn't.. didn't we mention it?
- No, Frank, you did not.
319
00:26:09,416 --> 00:26:12,291
And why should we? It's called a cover version. No big deal!
320
00:26:12,916 --> 00:26:16,500
Guys, listen. Whitney Houston "The Greatest Love of All"
321
00:26:16,583 --> 00:26:18,571
Cindy Laupers "Girls Just Wanna Have Fun":
322
00:26:18,595 --> 00:26:20,583
they are all new versions of other people's songs.
323
00:26:20,666 --> 00:26:21,750
Everybody's doing it.
324
00:26:22,125 --> 00:26:23,083
Everybody.
325
00:26:39,500 --> 00:26:44,291
My friend Hans-Jörg gave this to me as a present. From Jamaica.
326
00:26:45,833 --> 00:26:48,208
And then I made this.
327
00:26:58,416 --> 00:26:59,916
Biggest hit we ever had.
328
00:27:00,000 --> 00:27:02,541
17 weeks number 1.
329
00:27:03,000 --> 00:27:04,458
Guys, as a producer...
330
00:27:05,125 --> 00:27:07,416
Yeah? You gotta see the potential in the song.
331
00:27:13,958 --> 00:27:16,750
- This is exactly the same song.
- No, it's slower.
332
00:27:16,833 --> 00:27:20,500
I took the bridge, make it to the chorus, and...
333
00:27:22,958 --> 00:27:25,291
It's a young band from Baltimore.
334
00:27:25,375 --> 00:27:27,125
They're called Numarx.
335
00:27:27,208 --> 00:27:28,291
Tiny label.
336
00:27:28,375 --> 00:27:29,541
Nobody knows them...
337
00:27:29,958 --> 00:27:34,083
- Two DJs showed it to Frank.
- And you can just take this song?
338
00:27:34,166 --> 00:27:36,375
You can make your own cover version of any song.
339
00:27:36,458 --> 00:27:37,458
Yeah?
340
00:27:38,333 --> 00:27:41,166
I like the Eric B & Rakim Hip hop that you writed.
341
00:27:41,250 --> 00:27:42,458
- Yes!
342
00:27:44,583 --> 00:27:47,458
... actually um... that's a beat from the 70s. Um, yeah.
343
00:27:48,916 --> 00:27:51,625
The soul searchers. I sampled it, baby.
344
00:27:51,708 --> 00:27:52,583
Take it.
345
00:27:53,208 --> 00:27:54,791
Wow, we...
346
00:27:54,875 --> 00:27:57,750
- We didn't know all that.
- And why should you?
347
00:27:58,291 --> 00:28:00,583
That's what this biz is all about...
348
00:28:01,291 --> 00:28:02,416
Illusion.
349
00:28:05,416 --> 00:28:06,458
So...
350
00:28:06,541 --> 00:28:09,416
When are we going to record our cover version of the song?
351
00:28:11,000 --> 00:28:13,000
We... we already did.
352
00:28:13,916 --> 00:28:15,666
It's perfect, you heard it.
353
00:28:16,708 --> 00:28:17,791
Yeah, but...
354
00:28:18,541 --> 00:28:19,958
...we want to sing, Frank.
355
00:28:20,041 --> 00:28:22,375
You told us to work on the song.
356
00:28:22,458 --> 00:28:25,125
I meant the choreography, boys.
357
00:28:25,500 --> 00:28:27,708
One step at a time.
358
00:28:30,083 --> 00:28:31,958
we can- we can try to sing it...
359
00:28:32,041 --> 00:28:35,416
but you know, for now, you are the frontmen.
360
00:28:35,833 --> 00:28:36,958
The performers.
361
00:28:37,666 --> 00:28:38,708
The stars.
362
00:28:39,166 --> 00:28:42,625
And I need you giving it one hundred fifty percent, okay?
363
00:28:43,208 --> 00:28:44,250
Because the people
364
00:28:46,041 --> 00:28:48,166
the listen... with their eyes.
365
00:28:49,125 --> 00:28:50,375
Understand?
366
00:29:04,250 --> 00:29:06,916
Are you sure about the name? It sounds totally stupid.
367
00:29:08,875 --> 00:29:10,083
And the two...
368
00:29:10,958 --> 00:29:13,416
Everyone knows them here in Munich from P1,
369
00:29:13,500 --> 00:29:16,458
but they are only dancers.
370
00:29:17,416 --> 00:29:18,291
Drink?
371
00:29:19,458 --> 00:29:21,708
Markus...Rob and Fab are world class.
372
00:29:21,791 --> 00:29:25,500
The best performers I know can come to the US.
373
00:29:25,583 --> 00:29:28,791
Finally, forget the states. Your sound is too German.
374
00:29:29,291 --> 00:29:32,708
What the? I can take this to any other label and do it.
375
00:29:32,791 --> 00:29:34,166
No, you can not.
376
00:29:34,250 --> 00:29:38,666
What are you doing in Germany belongs to Hansa Records. Have you already forgotten this, Frankie?
377
00:29:47,666 --> 00:29:48,666
But...
378
00:29:50,375 --> 00:29:51,375
Okay.
379
00:29:52,875 --> 00:29:54,666
We will do this. Yes?
380
00:29:55,333 --> 00:29:58,250
We have to have the name changed of course...
381
00:29:59,916 --> 00:30:02,791
Milli? We ourselves will make the recordings:
382
00:30:03,166 --> 00:30:06,416
1000 promotional discs. We do some gigs in clubs and...
383
00:30:06,500 --> 00:30:08,083
take it to Arista.
384
00:30:08,583 --> 00:30:12,666
No vacation! We distribute singles to English DJs.
385
00:30:12,750 --> 00:30:14,833
The Germans don't check that.
386
00:30:15,166 --> 00:30:17,041
And call Chrysalis, in London.
387
00:30:18,750 --> 00:30:19,875
What name?
388
00:30:20,375 --> 00:30:23,375
Yes, Milli Vanilli of course. The name is great!
389
00:30:23,791 --> 00:30:26,791
It's the coolest name in the world!
390
00:31:08,625 --> 00:31:12,333
Fab! We are on TV and the radio at the same time!
391
00:31:14,416 --> 00:31:17,791
Say hi to your mom and give her a kiss from Robert.
392
00:31:18,625 --> 00:31:20,500
Robert salutes you, mother.
393
00:31:22,041 --> 00:31:23,666
Did you receive the money I sent you?
394
00:31:24,416 --> 00:31:27,083
Mother, we're all over Europe on the radio.
395
00:31:27,708 --> 00:31:29,333
Have you seen our video?
396
00:31:31,461 --> 00:31:31,750
That's right, you need MTV for that.
397
00:31:32,416 --> 00:31:33,583
MTV.
398
00:31:34,916 --> 00:31:36,916
It's a television station, mother.
399
00:31:52,208 --> 00:31:53,291
Hello mother.
400
00:31:55,500 --> 00:31:56,541
Robert.
401
00:31:58,625 --> 00:31:59,916
Look how you look?
402
00:32:00,000 --> 00:32:01,916
Oh, the hair?
403
00:32:02,291 --> 00:32:04,583
I've had it like this for a few months.
404
00:32:07,875 --> 00:32:09,000
Look.
405
00:32:10,708 --> 00:32:13,083
He's Fabrice, my best friend.
406
00:32:13,416 --> 00:32:17,166
Our album. We will present it in London next week.
407
00:32:18,250 --> 00:32:19,500
Would you like to hear them?
408
00:32:21,250 --> 00:32:24,541
That's nice, Robert, but... it will be important to us...
409
00:32:24,625 --> 00:32:26,083
...when you actually sing.
410
00:32:30,166 --> 00:32:31,041
Mom.
411
00:32:31,916 --> 00:32:34,833
- I'm not a salesman...
- Then what are you?
412
00:32:34,916 --> 00:32:37,041
You are the one in the picture? With a wig?
413
00:32:37,125 --> 00:32:39,250
It's not a wig, mom.
414
00:32:42,125 --> 00:32:43,375
You better go now.
415
00:32:43,458 --> 00:32:46,708
Your father is in a bad mood. They shouldn't see you like this.
416
00:32:50,000 --> 00:32:52,375
Let's meet next week.
417
00:32:53,958 --> 00:32:56,666
Or rather you call, Robert.
418
00:32:58,958 --> 00:33:00,500
We are always here for you.
419
00:33:05,708 --> 00:33:06,791
Have you...
420
00:33:07,166 --> 00:33:10,083
Ever tried finding your real parents?
421
00:33:12,958 --> 00:33:14,541
Wrote a bunch of letters.
422
00:33:16,250 --> 00:33:17,541
No nothing.
423
00:33:23,208 --> 00:33:24,333
If the song
424
00:33:24,916 --> 00:33:26,166
hits big,
425
00:33:27,375 --> 00:33:28,625
I mean like,
426
00:33:28,708 --> 00:33:30,583
real big, like
427
00:33:31,250 --> 00:33:32,458
in America...
428
00:33:35,333 --> 00:33:38,083
maybe my real dad will see our video.
429
00:33:39,750 --> 00:33:41,458
Yeah, maybe.
430
00:33:44,208 --> 00:33:45,875
Let's not ever fuck this up
431
00:33:47,208 --> 00:33:48,416
between us.
432
00:33:49,666 --> 00:33:51,250
We are brothers, Rob.
433
00:33:52,375 --> 00:33:53,416
Forever.
434
00:34:10,250 --> 00:34:12,208
Everything is going so fast.
435
00:34:12,750 --> 00:34:13,875
I know.
436
00:34:15,166 --> 00:34:16,291
It's great.
437
00:34:19,083 --> 00:34:21,250
Do you think there will be any fans?
438
00:34:21,916 --> 00:34:23,541
There'll be some people.
439
00:34:40,583 --> 00:34:41,708
Is this real?
440
00:34:43,166 --> 00:34:44,083
Fab!
441
00:34:48,083 --> 00:34:49,833
Who else lives here?
442
00:34:49,916 --> 00:34:50,916
Wow!
443
00:34:51,583 --> 00:34:52,791
This is crazy.
444
00:34:53,250 --> 00:34:54,958
Fab, check this!
445
00:34:56,750 --> 00:34:58,416
They call this a "minibar".
446
00:34:59,041 --> 00:35:00,750
It's incredible here.
447
00:35:00,833 --> 00:35:03,208
I love these little tiny bottles.
448
00:35:03,666 --> 00:35:04,708
Hah!
449
00:35:09,000 --> 00:35:13,250
And we can order whatever the hell we like man. Room service, baby! Whoo!
450
00:35:13,875 --> 00:35:15,291
- Rob! - Yea.
451
00:35:15,375 --> 00:35:16,416
Come.
452
00:35:21,958 --> 00:35:23,500
CAN WE COME UP?
453
00:35:27,708 --> 00:35:32,083
Wow! Look, look, this could be a really good cover.
454
00:35:32,166 --> 00:35:34,916
Markus, tell me, are you on vacation? Are you sleeping?
455
00:35:35,000 --> 00:35:38,875
Hi Franky, I'm in a meeting with Stefania. Do you know each other?
456
00:35:38,958 --> 00:35:42,791
We need records, Markus. We need to make more records.
457
00:35:42,875 --> 00:35:46,000
- Entering the top 20. - Deutsche Dance charts? Toll.
458
00:35:46,083 --> 00:35:48,208
Not in the German Dance charts, Witzbold.
459
00:35:48,291 --> 00:35:51,625
England. The Official UK Charts. I licensed it to Chrysalis
460
00:35:52,250 --> 00:35:54,958
Not getting anything in Saftladen?
461
00:35:59,041 --> 00:36:01,791
Mr. Farian? So nice meeting you.
462
00:36:02,416 --> 00:36:05,583
I'm a big fan of your music. I love Boney M.
463
00:36:05,666 --> 00:36:06,791
Huh...
464
00:36:07,208 --> 00:36:08,291
Thank you.
465
00:36:08,666 --> 00:36:10,541
Sorry for disturbing your meeting. Um.
466
00:36:13,041 --> 00:36:14,375
Here's my card?
467
00:36:14,708 --> 00:36:15,583
Thank you.
468
00:36:17,041 --> 00:36:19,250
Markus, we have to record records.
469
00:36:19,333 --> 00:36:21,375
To sell them. Do you understand this?
470
00:36:21,750 --> 00:36:22,958
- Yes.
- Very good.
471
00:36:24,208 --> 00:36:25,333
Man...
472
00:36:25,416 --> 00:36:28,000
- Record the discs!
- Ya!
473
00:36:50,583 --> 00:36:52,416
So you're sure you want nothing to eat?
474
00:36:52,916 --> 00:36:53,958
We're fine.
475
00:36:54,666 --> 00:36:56,083
Do you want some of this?
476
00:36:56,166 --> 00:36:58,791
It's real nice quality. Like, Mick Jagger quality.
477
00:37:00,416 --> 00:37:02,458
No. We're not doing that.
478
00:37:02,541 --> 00:37:03,541
Nu-uh.
479
00:37:04,291 --> 00:37:06,208
Oh? Really?
480
00:37:06,291 --> 00:37:07,208
Never.
481
00:37:10,583 --> 00:37:12,125
Too bad.
482
00:37:13,000 --> 00:37:14,625
It's great for sex.
483
00:37:28,916 --> 00:37:30,291
Farian.
484
00:37:30,375 --> 00:37:32,958
Do you know what's going on here, Frank?
485
00:37:33,041 --> 00:37:35,708
We have inquiries from South Korea, Australia,
486
00:37:35,791 --> 00:37:38,750
from Timbuktu. where the hell are you?
487
00:37:40,166 --> 00:37:42,500
I have to do something else, you talk to BMG.
488
00:37:43,791 --> 00:37:46,166
Why are you whispering, Frank?
489
00:37:47,875 --> 00:37:50,833
- I'm not whispering.
- Hell yes.
490
00:37:50,916 --> 00:37:53,958
- I know what's going on, idiot.
- Honey, calm down.
491
00:37:54,375 --> 00:37:57,958
Stop telling me "Blah, blah, blah, baby" to stop hearing this.
492
00:38:04,041 --> 00:38:05,583
"Blah, blah, blah, blah, baby."
493
00:38:07,916 --> 00:38:09,541
Now now now...
494
00:38:10,666 --> 00:38:12,375
Now now now...
495
00:38:13,666 --> 00:38:15,541
Pam, pam, pam...
496
00:38:15,625 --> 00:38:19,291
I wrote down the number. Don't forget it, okay?
497
00:38:41,333 --> 00:38:43,708
Great, Brad. Let's double this okay?
498
00:38:44,416 --> 00:38:45,333
Super!
499
00:38:47,333 --> 00:38:48,416
Hm...
500
00:38:49,791 --> 00:38:54,208
I think it is about time you meet the real Milli Vanilli.
501
00:38:54,916 --> 00:38:56,000
You see this guy?
502
00:38:59,125 --> 00:39:00,416
His name is Brad.
503
00:39:00,500 --> 00:39:01,875
Brad Howell.
504
00:39:02,458 --> 00:39:04,500
He is not only an amazing singer,
505
00:39:04,583 --> 00:39:07,166
he plays the keyboards, he plays the drums.
506
00:39:07,250 --> 00:39:08,791
A real superstar...
507
00:39:11,416 --> 00:39:12,708
... in the studio.
508
00:39:13,375 --> 00:39:14,708
But he has asthma.
509
00:39:15,083 --> 00:39:16,083
And...
510
00:39:16,500 --> 00:39:18,083
he likes to eat a lot of cake.
511
00:39:20,708 --> 00:39:22,958
Then we have John Davis.
512
00:39:28,083 --> 00:39:30,958
We used to have a different rapper, Charles, but
513
00:39:31,041 --> 00:39:34,416
he sued me later and... it's a little bit.. it's complicated.
514
00:39:34,500 --> 00:39:36,583
John is not just a rapper.
515
00:39:37,041 --> 00:39:40,333
He is one of the finest musicians I have ever met.
516
00:39:42,208 --> 00:39:43,625
And the Rocco sisters,
517
00:39:46,250 --> 00:39:48,083
Jody and Linda.
518
00:39:51,416 --> 00:39:53,791
Total professionals, very nice human beings...
519
00:39:53,875 --> 00:39:58,125
if they're not in the middle of suing me, which they did later too.
520
00:39:58,541 --> 00:40:02,125
Their voices were elemental to our sound.
521
00:40:03,416 --> 00:40:06,375
By the way, I sang on our songs too.
522
00:40:09,875 --> 00:40:12,416
I sang on every song I ever produce.
523
00:40:14,833 --> 00:40:17,083
And let's not forget the band:
524
00:40:17,166 --> 00:40:18,791
Harry, Bimey,
525
00:40:19,125 --> 00:40:20,583
Helmut, Peter,
526
00:40:20,916 --> 00:40:21,875
Borg...
527
00:40:21,958 --> 00:40:25,791
But honestly: would you have bought our t-shirts?
528
00:40:25,875 --> 00:40:29,666
Screamed our names? Drooled over our hot moves?
529
00:40:31,208 --> 00:40:34,458
Would we have been MTV material, huh?
530
00:40:36,541 --> 00:40:37,791
Ask yourself that.
531
00:40:46,833 --> 00:40:47,708
Hey!
532
00:40:48,916 --> 00:40:51,958
Listen! We just got a fax.
533
00:40:52,541 --> 00:40:53,541
From...
534
00:40:54,375 --> 00:40:56,041
Clive Davis!
535
00:40:58,041 --> 00:40:59,583
Who is Clive Davis?
536
00:41:00,125 --> 00:41:02,958
He's the head of Arista Records: He's Whitney Houston,
537
00:41:03,583 --> 00:41:06,125
Earth Wind and Fire, Sântana...
538
00:41:06,208 --> 00:41:08,708
Aerosmith. Bruce Springsteen.
539
00:41:09,250 --> 00:41:11,916
The most powerful man in the business.
540
00:41:12,000 --> 00:41:13,583
Congratulations, Frank.
541
00:41:14,250 --> 00:41:15,458
Thank you, John.
542
00:41:24,666 --> 00:41:25,541
Hey guys!
543
00:41:26,875 --> 00:41:28,000
It's me
544
00:41:28,583 --> 00:41:29,458
Milli!
545
00:41:36,333 --> 00:41:38,416
- Wake up!
- Tell them we'll call back.
546
00:41:39,000 --> 00:41:40,041
She is here!
547
00:41:41,750 --> 00:41:43,250
Hello!
548
00:41:45,708 --> 00:41:46,791
Hey Millie.
549
00:41:47,708 --> 00:41:48,791
Hey!
550
00:41:49,500 --> 00:41:53,166
Why aren't you answering the phone? I've been calling for days.
551
00:41:54,708 --> 00:41:55,875
Uh.
552
00:41:57,041 --> 00:41:58,875
- Hey, Millie.
- Hi, Robert.
553
00:42:03,916 --> 00:42:06,208
Seems like you guys are enjoying London.
554
00:42:09,916 --> 00:42:11,833
You don't have to feel embarrassed.
555
00:42:23,125 --> 00:42:26,708
Just be careful with this. Promise me that.
556
00:42:26,791 --> 00:42:30,041
And answer the fucking phone when we call you, please!
557
00:42:31,500 --> 00:42:32,500
Listen up.
558
00:42:33,291 --> 00:42:36,000
We made a deal with Arista Records in New York.
559
00:42:36,666 --> 00:42:39,583
They want to release your song in America.
560
00:42:39,666 --> 00:42:42,375
They even want a whole album from you!
561
00:42:42,458 --> 00:42:43,875
No way...
562
00:42:45,958 --> 00:42:49,500
Get yourselves cleaned up, we're having dinner with Benny Dorn.
563
00:42:49,583 --> 00:42:50,958
A manager from LA
564
00:42:51,583 --> 00:42:53,375
I thought you're our manager.
565
00:42:54,541 --> 00:42:57,416
- Like who else does he manage?
- Like...
566
00:42:58,625 --> 00:42:59,666
Michael Jackson.
567
00:43:04,125 --> 00:43:07,375
Seriously, I didn't know they made music like this in Germany.
568
00:43:07,458 --> 00:43:10,291
I thought you guys listened to marching bands and so on...
569
00:43:11,666 --> 00:43:13,125
Oktoberfest stuff!
570
00:43:15,375 --> 00:43:19,875
Guys, when I saw your video, I was totally freaking out. Wasn't I Todd?
571
00:43:20,625 --> 00:43:22,291
Total freakout. He was.
572
00:43:22,375 --> 00:43:25,208
It made me wanna dance! It made me happy!
573
00:43:25,625 --> 00:43:27,000
It made me horny...
574
00:43:28,583 --> 00:43:31,625
And I, I instantly knew: These two guys, they've got it
575
00:43:32,208 --> 00:43:34,666
That unique tone, that rare,
576
00:43:35,000 --> 00:43:37,541
fresh, special something.
577
00:43:38,125 --> 00:43:42,333
Look. I really believe you've got what it takes to conquer the States.
578
00:43:43,375 --> 00:43:45,208
Milli Vanilli can become something
579
00:43:45,291 --> 00:43:47,041
all Americans can fall in love with.
580
00:43:47,125 --> 00:43:49,958
Black, white, gay, straight.
581
00:43:50,041 --> 00:43:53,041
- Boy. You really are hungry, aren't you?
- Yeah.
582
00:43:53,458 --> 00:43:55,250
We don't have this in Germany.
583
00:43:55,833 --> 00:43:58,041
- What is this?
- It's called sushi, Robert.
584
00:43:58,750 --> 00:44:00,666
It's the Japanese national dish.
585
00:44:00,750 --> 00:44:03,333
Excuse me for a second, guys.
586
00:44:08,833 --> 00:44:10,000
I like Milli
587
00:44:10,083 --> 00:44:11,291
A very sweet lady.
588
00:44:11,625 --> 00:44:12,541
And Frank,
589
00:44:13,041 --> 00:44:14,208
great producer.
590
00:44:16,541 --> 00:44:19,541
But listen: I've been looking at your contract and...
591
00:44:20,083 --> 00:44:21,958
You should be making more money.
592
00:44:22,416 --> 00:44:23,666
A lot more.
593
00:44:24,416 --> 00:44:25,500
Understand?
594
00:44:25,875 --> 00:44:29,500
And you should be living in LA if you want to be successful in the States.
595
00:44:31,625 --> 00:44:33,791
It's my biggest dream to go to America, Benny.
596
00:44:34,208 --> 00:44:38,291
I'm already working on a gig to get you on Club MTV.
597
00:44:38,375 --> 00:44:39,583
I love that show.
598
00:44:39,666 --> 00:44:42,375
- Of course you love that show. Everybody loves that show.
- My Mom loves that show!
599
00:44:42,458 --> 00:44:45,000
It's the biggest show on the planet.
600
00:44:45,083 --> 00:44:48,583
And we'll make sure you always have enough of that fine sushi, Rob.
601
00:44:48,666 --> 00:44:49,708
How's that sound?
602
00:46:22,625 --> 00:46:26,083
Everybody's talking about them and their hair.
603
00:46:26,166 --> 00:46:28,875
They are the sensation of the summer all over the planet
604
00:46:28,958 --> 00:46:32,416
and I think it's about time they conquered the States.
605
00:46:32,500 --> 00:46:35,916
Here's Milli Vanilli and "Girl You Know It's True"!
606
00:47:02,750 --> 00:47:05,083
We really were on fire that night, right?
607
00:47:06,791 --> 00:47:08,541
We rocked the USA
608
00:47:08,625 --> 00:47:11,000
and the whole country fell in love with us.
609
00:47:11,083 --> 00:47:13,458
Well, maybe not the whole country.
610
00:47:14,791 --> 00:47:15,791
Oh yea...
611
00:47:51,166 --> 00:47:52,666
- Hello?
- Hey Taneshia, it's Bill.
612
00:47:52,750 --> 00:47:53,415
Hi Bill.
613
00:47:53,439 --> 00:47:55,458
I need to speak to Sean or Kevin. It's urgent.
614
00:47:55,541 --> 00:47:56,500
Calm down.
615
00:47:57,291 --> 00:47:58,291
Sean!
616
00:47:59,625 --> 00:48:00,666
Kevin!
617
00:48:00,750 --> 00:48:02,416
Phone call from the gas station.
618
00:48:18,833 --> 00:48:20,333
Ain't that your song?
619
00:48:20,791 --> 00:48:22,833
How can it be on TV, Spen?
620
00:48:23,541 --> 00:48:25,625
I mean he fine though...
621
00:48:25,708 --> 00:48:26,875
Shut up, T.
622
00:48:28,208 --> 00:48:30,041
They stole our song.
623
00:48:30,916 --> 00:48:32,083
Milli Vanilli?
624
00:48:33,416 --> 00:48:35,333
What kinda whackass name is that?
625
00:48:36,750 --> 00:48:38,208
They gonna pay for this.
626
00:48:40,083 --> 00:48:41,250
Big time.
627
00:48:42,000 --> 00:48:42,958
They gonna pay.
628
00:49:02,500 --> 00:49:03,458
Hello?
629
00:49:05,250 --> 00:49:08,041
- We're recording.
- Yeah I wanna speak to Larry.
630
00:49:09,333 --> 00:49:10,333
He in Philly.
631
00:49:11,250 --> 00:49:14,166
Did he sell my song to these guys? Huh?
632
00:49:14,250 --> 00:49:17,125
- Without telling us?
- I don't know what y'all talking about.
633
00:49:17,208 --> 00:49:19,375
I'm talking about Milli motherfucking-Vanilli.
634
00:49:19,458 --> 00:49:21,541
The-the fucking cornballs with the long braids!
635
00:49:22,083 --> 00:49:24,708
- I don't know anything.
- They stole my song.
636
00:49:25,125 --> 00:49:26,500
Come back another time, okay?
637
00:49:26,583 --> 00:49:27,875
- I'm sorry.
638
00:49:28,375 --> 00:49:30,291
- No, no... can I...
- I'm sorry.
639
00:49:41,250 --> 00:49:42,583
To Rob and Fab!
640
00:49:47,666 --> 00:49:49,500
Settle down.
641
00:49:49,583 --> 00:49:50,833
Rob, Fab,
642
00:49:51,583 --> 00:49:54,625
I think I speak for everyone here at Arista, including Clive,
643
00:49:54,708 --> 00:49:57,750
who can't be here right now, that uh...
644
00:49:57,833 --> 00:50:00,375
That was one hell of a show on Club MTV!
645
00:50:00,458 --> 00:50:03,083
What a start!
646
00:50:03,166 --> 00:50:06,041
Thank you and uh...
647
00:50:06,125 --> 00:50:08,083
Welcome to America!
648
00:50:08,166 --> 00:50:09,125
Yeah!
649
00:50:11,041 --> 00:50:13,083
We'll hit #9 on the Billboard charts tomorrow.
650
00:50:13,166 --> 00:50:16,500
Just got another massive airplay push with 400 more stations
651
00:50:16,583 --> 00:50:20,708
and we're flooded with PR requests. My fax is burning like a rocket.
652
00:50:24,625 --> 00:50:26,041
So how do you freakin' feel?
653
00:50:26,458 --> 00:50:27,583
Um...
654
00:50:28,333 --> 00:50:30,583
Yeah, it's a great feeling.
655
00:50:31,500 --> 00:50:33,000
We love the USA.
656
00:50:33,875 --> 00:50:35,553
It feels like coming home.
657
00:50:35,577 --> 00:50:39,833
We want to say thank you for your work and for everything you are doing.
658
00:50:41,958 --> 00:50:44,708
- Yeah, well that's wonderful.
- Yea.
659
00:50:46,250 --> 00:50:48,666
I love this... thing here by the way.
660
00:50:49,041 --> 00:50:50,250
Can we have it?
661
00:50:51,750 --> 00:50:54,291
Yeah, sure! It's yours. We got plenty.
662
00:50:54,666 --> 00:50:55,666
Cool.
663
00:51:00,000 --> 00:51:04,083
You can cut their accents with a fucking knife, like why didn't anybody say anything about this.
664
00:51:04,166 --> 00:51:06,958
We need to cancel all live interviews, now!
665
00:51:07,291 --> 00:51:09,083
Does Clive know about this?
666
00:51:09,166 --> 00:51:10,333
Oh God.
667
00:51:11,791 --> 00:51:14,833
They definitely need a dialect coach in LA
668
00:51:19,125 --> 00:51:21,625
Strategy-wise, they're black,
669
00:51:22,125 --> 00:51:24,541
but the majority of their fans are white female.
670
00:51:24,875 --> 00:51:27,125
Is this black? White?
671
00:51:28,000 --> 00:51:30,916
R&B? Hip hop? Pop?
672
00:51:31,708 --> 00:51:33,833
I don't know what the hell it is.
673
00:51:33,916 --> 00:51:35,416
But it sure is working.
674
00:51:36,416 --> 00:51:37,500
Oh yeah.
675
00:51:46,875 --> 00:51:48,708
Is this real, brother?
676
00:51:50,125 --> 00:51:51,250
No it's not.
677
00:51:51,333 --> 00:51:53,500
It's a beautiful illusion.
678
00:51:53,583 --> 00:51:55,291
A trap.
679
00:51:56,333 --> 00:52:00,416
- Face it, we are impostors.
- We are performers. Showmen.
680
00:52:01,500 --> 00:52:03,125
Do you think everybody can do what we do?
681
00:52:04,875 --> 00:52:06,666
We deserve all this, Fab.
682
00:52:07,291 --> 00:52:08,791
So enjoy the ride.
683
00:52:09,250 --> 00:52:10,458
Come on, enjoy it man.
684
00:52:10,958 --> 00:52:12,291
I'm trying.
685
00:52:12,708 --> 00:52:14,166
It's just a job.
686
00:52:15,625 --> 00:52:18,500
So let's give them what they want. Remember?
687
00:52:20,000 --> 00:52:22,375
We are going to sing, okay?
688
00:52:23,208 --> 00:52:26,083
If not now, then on the second album.
689
00:52:28,625 --> 00:52:32,166
- Frank, he's never going to...
- Milli Vanilli is bigger than Frank now.
690
00:52:33,583 --> 00:52:35,291
And the bigger this gets
691
00:52:36,125 --> 00:52:38,708
the more power you and me will have.
692
00:52:39,125 --> 00:52:41,375
We can become Milli Vanilli.
693
00:52:42,708 --> 00:52:44,166
Step by step.
694
00:52:45,041 --> 00:52:46,416
Hey guys! Hey.
695
00:52:47,208 --> 00:52:50,250
I just got off the phone with Benny. He's super excited.
696
00:52:50,333 --> 00:52:52,095
You really delivered at Club MTV.
697
00:52:52,119 --> 00:52:54,458
Apparently even Michael Jackson's a fan.
698
00:52:54,541 --> 00:52:55,750
Wow, bet?
699
00:52:55,833 --> 00:52:58,291
We want to meet him. Maybe we can sing a duet?
700
00:52:58,708 --> 00:53:00,125
Or... triplet?
701
00:53:00,208 --> 00:53:01,375
- Yeah.
- Yeah.
702
00:53:01,875 --> 00:53:04,000
Well, you know let's not get ahead of ourselves.
703
00:53:04,083 --> 00:53:07,333
But Benny says he's in negotiations for a big tour.
704
00:53:08,333 --> 00:53:10,708
- Sounds great, Todd.
- What kind of tour?
705
00:53:10,791 --> 00:53:12,583
You know, like live concerts and stuff.
706
00:53:13,000 --> 00:53:15,291
- And we sing live in this live concert?
- Oh yeah!
707
00:53:15,375 --> 00:53:17,916
I mean uh, I guess. I don't know.
708
00:53:18,708 --> 00:53:20,666
So I put some food in the fridge for you guys.
709
00:53:21,250 --> 00:53:23,625
The cleaning lady comes Tuesdays and Fridays at 9.
710
00:53:23,708 --> 00:53:25,788
And you have a meeting at 3 with a dialect coach.
711
00:53:25,812 --> 00:53:27,166
We don't need a dialect coach.
712
00:53:28,125 --> 00:53:30,416
Well, uhh it's been decided. So...
713
00:53:30,500 --> 00:53:33,375
Okay, what we really need Todd is a good vocal coach.
714
00:53:33,458 --> 00:53:35,916
We want to keep working on our singing every day.
715
00:53:36,666 --> 00:53:38,250
Yea, well there's plenty in LA.
716
00:53:38,875 --> 00:53:41,583
Also we'd like to get a Ferrari.
717
00:53:45,041 --> 00:53:46,000
Today?
718
00:53:53,708 --> 00:53:54,875
Let's go!
719
00:54:06,000 --> 00:54:09,625
Ok, we're going to start with a few warmup skills okay? With C...
720
00:54:17,708 --> 00:54:18,708
Good. D.
721
00:54:27,125 --> 00:54:29,583
You do sound a little different than on the record.
722
00:54:30,166 --> 00:54:31,375
As do many.
723
00:54:31,791 --> 00:54:32,916
Is there room for improvement?
724
00:54:33,666 --> 00:54:34,541
Yes.
725
00:54:34,625 --> 00:54:37,583
But first of all, let me just tell you what a joy, what a pleasure it is to work with you.
726
00:54:38,666 --> 00:54:42,416
It is so rare to have superstars that still have the hunger to improve.
727
00:54:42,916 --> 00:54:44,083
You guys are just rad.
728
00:54:47,666 --> 00:54:50,541
- What does rad mean, Ricardo?
- Rad's like...
729
00:54:51,250 --> 00:54:52,333
extremely cool,
730
00:54:53,083 --> 00:54:54,166
amazing,
731
00:54:54,791 --> 00:54:55,791
awesome,
732
00:54:56,416 --> 00:54:57,291
Rad.
733
00:54:58,208 --> 00:55:00,000
- Rad.
- I like that.
734
00:55:00,666 --> 00:55:01,875
Rad.
735
00:55:18,000 --> 00:55:22,000
Frank.
736
00:55:23,325 --> 00:55:27,200
- Something on your mind?
- No, still on 2.
737
00:55:30,0 --> 00:55:32,666
- Have you heard from the guys?
- No.
738
00:55:34,291 --> 00:55:37,083
We agreed that they were only promoting the single,
739
00:55:37,166 --> 00:55:39,666
not that they would move to LA!
740
00:55:39,750 --> 00:55:43,500
Here. They have to be HERE where we produce the album!
741
00:55:43,583 --> 00:55:46,250
- You don't even need them for that.
- Yea, no shit!
742
00:55:46,708 --> 00:55:49,625
But this raises questions at Arista, in the press, everywhere!
743
00:55:49,708 --> 00:55:52,625
And leaving them alone in Hollywood with those hyenas?
744
00:55:52,708 --> 00:55:56,208
They're taking the butter off our bread. We're losing control!
745
00:55:56,291 --> 00:55:57,583
Don't panic.
746
00:55:57,666 --> 00:56:00,416
- They have to come back!
- I'm hearing you!
747
00:56:03,625 --> 00:56:06,375
Come on. Let's go for a walk.
748
00:56:07,375 --> 00:56:08,416
How can I take a walk right now?
749
00:56:29,583 --> 00:56:30,916
- That's right?
- Yea.
750
00:56:43,125 --> 00:56:44,375
Slow down.
751
00:56:49,250 --> 00:56:52,333
What's your business in this neighborhood? Why are you runnin'?
752
00:56:52,833 --> 00:56:54,583
We live here, we are jogging.
753
00:56:55,125 --> 00:56:56,666
- Let's see some IDs.
- George!
754
00:56:59,750 --> 00:57:00,791
Man, what are you doing?
755
00:57:01,333 --> 00:57:03,541
Don't you know who that is?
756
00:57:04,333 --> 00:57:05,958
I'm sorry, Mr. Richardson.
757
00:57:06,458 --> 00:57:08,583
- Leave them alone.
- You got it.
758
00:57:08,666 --> 00:57:12,250
Oh and... great game on Saturday, by the way.
759
00:57:16,500 --> 00:57:19,083
Sorry about that... Neighborhood Patrol...
760
00:57:19,416 --> 00:57:21,500
... it's a disgrace.
- I see.
761
00:57:22,458 --> 00:57:24,750
Not a lot of black people live in this area, right?
762
00:57:25,666 --> 00:57:28,416
Welcome to America, baby. I'm Randy, by the way.
763
00:57:29,041 --> 00:57:30,458
- Rob.
- Fab.
764
00:57:31,875 --> 00:57:33,125
I know.
765
00:57:36,875 --> 00:57:41,083
If only you could see this, mother. We have a pool, palm trees...
766
00:57:41,458 --> 00:57:43,541
Maybe you can visit us sometimes.
767
00:57:43,916 --> 00:57:45,500
Have you seen our video?
768
00:57:46,916 --> 00:57:49,500
That's right, it's not my voice.
769
00:57:49,583 --> 00:57:52,250
It's all just for show like the hair.
770
00:57:55,375 --> 00:57:57,166
I will sing, I promise.
771
00:57:58,291 --> 00:58:00,416
Come down man, it's so fun right now!
772
00:58:02,583 --> 00:58:03,708
Come on!
773
00:58:05,291 --> 00:58:06,708
I'll call you back later, mom.
774
00:58:10,833 --> 00:58:12,625
Fab, come on, come on my partner.
775
00:58:12,708 --> 00:58:14,041
Come on, my bro.
776
00:58:15,750 --> 00:58:18,500
Alright guys, this is Fab, say hello to Fab.
777
00:58:18,583 --> 00:58:20,625
- Hi
- Hello. Hi.
778
00:58:20,708 --> 00:58:23,375
Give her a kiss man, you're from France man.
779
00:58:24,166 --> 00:58:25,333
This is Randy.
780
00:58:26,500 --> 00:58:28,750
Hey you want to say hello to Jenny and Melissa? Huh!
781
00:58:30,500 --> 00:58:33,500
And Ricardo! Come on, it's Ricardo, yeah!
782
00:58:44,708 --> 00:58:45,750
Hello?
783
00:58:45,833 --> 00:58:48,958
Hey good morning! Do you know where Rob and Fab are?
784
00:58:49,041 --> 00:58:50,625
- Can't say...
- Okay.
785
00:58:54,583 --> 00:58:55,583
Rob?
786
00:58:56,208 --> 00:58:57,208
Fab?
787
00:58:59,083 --> 00:59:00,875
Do you know where Rob and Fab are?
788
00:59:04,333 --> 00:59:07,583
I think they had to fly to Germany, or something, this morning.
789
00:59:08,041 --> 00:59:09,125
Okay.
790
00:59:10,666 --> 00:59:12,375
I'm Todd, I'm their manager.
791
00:59:12,875 --> 00:59:13,791
Yeah. Sort of...
792
00:59:14,291 --> 00:59:16,833
I'm Lisa, I'm their dialect coach.
793
00:59:17,583 --> 00:59:18,458
Sort of...
794
00:59:23,000 --> 00:59:24,900
Why the grim faces boys?
795
00:59:25,000 --> 00:59:26,625
The next single is already finished.
796
00:59:26,708 --> 00:59:30,041
The album is almost done. It's going extremely well.
797
00:59:30,125 --> 00:59:31,500
Sit down.
798
00:59:31,583 --> 00:59:34,416
If you don't want us to sing, why are we here then?
799
00:59:34,500 --> 00:59:36,291
- Eating potato soup?
- Guys.
800
00:59:36,375 --> 00:59:38,166
You're here because this is our base.
801
00:59:38,833 --> 00:59:40,666
You should be here with us.
802
00:59:40,750 --> 00:59:41,708
No,
803
00:59:41,791 --> 00:59:43,750
Our home is in America now.
804
00:59:44,416 --> 00:59:45,750
You should come visit us, guys.
805
00:59:46,291 --> 00:59:49,291
And by the way, Frank, we might go on a big tour there soon.
806
00:59:49,375 --> 00:59:50,416
What?
807
00:59:50,750 --> 00:59:52,125
Come on, Fab, let's go.
808
00:59:55,583 --> 00:59:57,916
Wait, what kind of tour? With live singing? Huh?
809
00:59:58,000 --> 00:59:59,791
- Don't even think about it!
- Frank.
810
00:59:59,875 --> 01:00:02,083
- Are you high?
- We are lying to our friends.
811
01:00:02,166 --> 01:00:04,583
- Our families. C'est finit.
- Fab.
812
01:00:04,666 --> 01:00:07,875
People from the outside will never understand this business. Never.
813
01:00:07,958 --> 01:00:11,333
But we want to be more involved in the music. Producing stuff.
814
01:00:11,958 --> 01:00:13,833
- No way.
- Simple, Frank.
815
01:00:14,458 --> 01:00:16,750
We're not going to continue if we don't sing.
816
01:00:18,291 --> 01:00:20,000
But we have a contract.
817
01:00:20,708 --> 01:00:22,208
Fuck the contract!
818
01:00:25,875 --> 01:00:28,509
You can fuck the contract... but then you
819
01:00:28,533 --> 01:00:31,166
have to pay me back all the advance money you spent.
820
01:00:31,250 --> 01:00:35,125
You're renting a Villa in Beverly Hills? You're driving a sports car?
821
01:00:35,208 --> 01:00:39,333
Last month you had room service for 27 people at the Chatât...
822
01:00:39,958 --> 01:00:41,833
Ma-Ma... Cha-Cha...
823
01:00:41,916 --> 01:00:43,000
Château Marmont.
824
01:00:43,083 --> 01:00:45,541
You want to talk about money? Let's talk about money.
825
01:00:45,625 --> 01:00:48,125
We should be making a lot more, we are #1 in the US right now.
826
01:00:48,208 --> 01:00:50,125
No, we're not number 1.
827
01:00:50,750 --> 01:00:53,375
- We're not number 1.
- Roxette is no. 1.
828
01:00:53,458 --> 01:00:54,750
We peaked at number 2.
829
01:00:54,833 --> 01:00:56,541
Now, we're number 6.
830
01:00:56,875 --> 01:00:59,166
- You understand? No. 6, not number 1.
- Guys.
831
01:00:59,250 --> 01:01:00,750
Calm down.
832
01:01:01,125 --> 01:01:04,666
Frank, why don't we just try the singing.
833
01:01:05,625 --> 01:01:06,750
Let's just try it.
834
01:01:07,375 --> 01:01:08,583
Okay?
835
01:01:18,625 --> 01:01:19,875
Fab is not bad.
836
01:01:20,291 --> 01:01:23,083
- With that French accent.
- Work on it.
837
01:01:23,166 --> 01:01:25,541
The single is due out now. Not in 3 years.
838
01:01:26,875 --> 01:01:28,083
Robert.
839
01:01:36,750 --> 01:01:37,625
Aha!
840
01:01:44,458 --> 01:01:45,791
Paradise!
841
01:01:52,166 --> 01:01:55,916
Give them the feeling that we are bringing their voices into a mix...
842
01:01:56,500 --> 01:01:57,875
Mixed.
843
01:01:58,250 --> 01:01:59,875
Very...
844
01:02:00,291 --> 01:02:01,916
...slowly.
845
01:02:04,166 --> 01:02:06,083
Okay, this is bullshit.
846
01:02:06,583 --> 01:02:09,041
I don't remember the particular session.
847
01:02:09,125 --> 01:02:10,041
And actually...
848
01:02:10,500 --> 01:02:13,750
I don't remember ever singing in front of Frank Farian.
849
01:02:14,125 --> 01:02:18,250
- I remember hearing my own voice in the mix from then on
- That voice was just in your head.
850
01:02:18,708 --> 01:02:19,583
Whatever, man.
851
01:02:20,041 --> 01:02:21,375
The fact is...
852
01:02:21,458 --> 01:02:25,666
We made it very clear to Frank that we would sing on the the second album,
853
01:02:26,208 --> 01:02:28,083
or there would be no second album.
854
01:02:28,166 --> 01:02:31,125
Looking back, we should have ended it right there.
855
01:02:31,458 --> 01:02:32,625
But we didn't.
856
01:02:41,083 --> 01:02:42,833
Milli Vanilli!
857
01:02:42,916 --> 01:02:44,750
- Milli Vanilli.
- Milli Vanilli.
858
01:02:44,833 --> 01:02:46,958
Everybody's talking about Milli Vanilli.
859
01:02:47,708 --> 01:02:49,375
...overnight sensation...
860
01:02:49,458 --> 01:02:52,208
- ...the hottest guys around...
- I mean, they seem unstoppable right now!
861
01:02:52,666 --> 01:02:54,541
They have the potential to be among the greatest!
862
01:02:55,166 --> 01:02:57,208
Some are calling them, a sign of the times!
863
01:02:57,291 --> 01:02:59,250
What did you think of Milli Vanilli?
864
01:03:00,458 --> 01:03:02,041
And they became an international phenomenon!
865
01:03:02,125 --> 01:03:04,958
- They're selling millions of records!
- Drop the ears, Milli Vanilli!
866
01:03:07,500 --> 01:03:10,791
- But is their hair real?
- Who knows.
867
01:03:13,791 --> 01:03:15,166
From India,
868
01:03:15,250 --> 01:03:17,208
New zealand...
869
01:03:18,125 --> 01:03:23,000
Wow, this is the first fan mail from South Africa, guys.
870
01:03:24,000 --> 01:03:26,375
Oh my god, look at these kids.
871
01:03:26,458 --> 01:03:29,916
- I'll send them ten autographs, okay?
- Put some money in there too.
872
01:03:30,000 --> 01:03:31,833
Mmm. What your "th" there...
873
01:03:32,416 --> 01:03:34,291
- "ThErE".
- Rrr back of the throat.
874
01:03:34,375 --> 01:03:35,583
Hey Rob?
875
01:03:36,916 --> 01:03:38,791
I think you wanna take a look at this one.
876
01:03:46,583 --> 01:03:50,541
Dear Robert, I hope this letter reaches you personally.
877
01:03:50,625 --> 01:03:52,625
My name is Andrew Harrison.
878
01:03:52,958 --> 01:03:55,916
I was stationed in Munich 27 years ago.
879
01:03:56,458 --> 01:03:59,583
I was in a brief relationship with a lady named Sabina,
880
01:04:00,250 --> 01:04:01,291
your mother.
881
01:04:06,250 --> 01:04:10,166
I don't know how serious this is, but uh... do you want me to get in contact?
882
01:04:24,500 --> 01:04:26,333
Harrison.
883
01:04:27,666 --> 01:04:28,666
Hi.
884
01:04:30,208 --> 01:04:31,375
This is Robert.
885
01:04:32,291 --> 01:04:35,458
- Pilatus.
- Oh my God, Robert.
886
01:04:36,250 --> 01:04:38,208
I never would expected you to call.
887
01:04:39,000 --> 01:04:40,625
I'm nervous now.
888
01:04:41,583 --> 01:04:42,458
Yeah.
889
01:04:42,958 --> 01:04:44,041
Me too...
890
01:04:44,583 --> 01:04:45,583
Hm...
891
01:04:46,041 --> 01:04:47,166
So...
892
01:04:47,958 --> 01:04:51,208
... you're in Alaska right now, Andrew?
- Yes, Anchorage.
893
01:04:52,083 --> 01:04:53,375
Been here for the past four years.
894
01:04:56,250 --> 01:04:58,958
Hey Robert, hey man when I saw your music video.
895
01:05:00,125 --> 01:05:01,125
Man, I was...
896
01:05:01,541 --> 01:05:02,708
I was blown away!
897
01:05:03,833 --> 01:05:08,041
Actually my wife Sheila saw it first. And then she told me about you being from Munich
898
01:05:08,125 --> 01:05:09,500
you know being adopted and all.
899
01:05:09,583 --> 01:05:10,916
- So you're married?
- Yeah.
900
01:05:11,375 --> 01:05:14,541
We had a son too, his name's Tony. He's 18 years old.
901
01:05:15,500 --> 01:05:16,750
A very smart kid.
902
01:05:17,250 --> 01:05:18,791
He loves your music too.
903
01:05:19,458 --> 01:05:20,833
tell me how is it
904
01:05:22,083 --> 01:05:25,583
I mean, are you excited? Are you living a nice life?
905
01:05:25,666 --> 01:05:28,666
From that moment on, my Dad and me
906
01:05:29,208 --> 01:05:30,708
we talked every week.
907
01:05:30,791 --> 01:05:32,250
Sometimes every day.
908
01:05:32,708 --> 01:05:34,875
You even were taking less drugs.
909
01:05:35,583 --> 01:05:38,625
We got ourselves a juicer, remember?
910
01:05:43,500 --> 01:05:46,125
We really worked hard on our singing,
911
01:05:46,791 --> 01:05:48,375
our performance.
912
01:05:49,208 --> 01:05:53,041
We really believed we could turn this illusion into reality.
913
01:05:53,541 --> 01:05:57,125
For a while, it felt like a ride into the sunset.
914
01:05:58,541 --> 01:06:00,875
But we were headed for disaster.
915
01:06:21,625 --> 01:06:22,592
Hello?
916
01:06:22,616 --> 01:06:25,541
Frankie! I'm glad I caught you. It's Markus.
917
01:06:25,958 --> 01:06:27,833
- Yeah?
- Markus Klein.
918
01:06:28,375 --> 01:06:31,500
I wanted to congratulate you. As of today, we are #1 in the US,
919
01:06:31,583 --> 01:06:33,666
with "Baby don't forget my number".
920
01:06:34,291 --> 01:06:37,291
We're on top of the world, Franky! We are the hammer!
921
01:06:37,625 --> 01:06:39,125
We must celebrate this!
922
01:06:41,291 --> 01:06:42,500
We? Uh...
923
01:06:42,958 --> 01:06:45,583
What do you mean "WE"?
924
01:06:46,000 --> 01:06:47,708
Markus, listen up!
925
01:06:48,041 --> 01:06:52,541
My cleaning lady is more successful than you. Even the chickens...
926
01:06:52,625 --> 01:06:54,541
- ...of my neighbor...
- Franky.
927
01:06:54,625 --> 01:06:56,500
- Bye!
- We......sigh...
928
01:06:57,083 --> 01:06:58,500
My God...
929
01:07:10,000 --> 01:07:12,625
WE HIT FIRST! I'm really proud...
930
01:07:13,750 --> 01:07:14,791
...Grats!
931
01:07:18,083 --> 01:07:20,333
without you I would be...
932
01:07:21,000 --> 01:07:22,500
I would never have made it.
933
01:07:23,125 --> 01:07:24,125
I know.
934
01:07:31,000 --> 01:07:34,625
Now the next singles have to go to #1. And the album.
935
01:07:35,000 --> 01:07:37,625
Let's make some calls. Call John and Brad.
936
01:07:37,708 --> 01:07:40,458
We have music to make. Come on, let's continue.
937
01:07:41,833 --> 01:07:45,166
I thought we might as well take a break for a few days,
938
01:07:46,125 --> 01:07:48,625
let's go to the mountains or something.
939
01:07:49,666 --> 01:07:52,875
In the mountains, yes? And what should I do there?
940
01:07:52,958 --> 01:07:55,625
No, Milli, we have to make music.
941
01:07:56,250 --> 01:07:57,500
Music, come on!
942
01:07:59,416 --> 01:08:02,291
To the number one song in America.
943
01:08:02,375 --> 01:08:03,500
To Milli Vanilli.
944
01:08:04,333 --> 01:08:06,250
This is what America's all about.
945
01:08:06,833 --> 01:08:07,916
Everybody!
946
01:08:16,208 --> 01:08:18,291
And here's more fabulous news.
947
01:08:19,208 --> 01:08:22,000
The first ever Club MTV tour.
948
01:08:22,791 --> 01:08:23,916
Paula Abdul,
949
01:08:24,416 --> 01:08:25,666
Ton Loc,
950
01:08:25,750 --> 01:08:27,250
and you sweethearts...
951
01:08:27,916 --> 01:08:30,375
We're talking 17 cities in the US.
952
01:08:30,791 --> 01:08:32,416
And not some small venues,
953
01:08:32,500 --> 01:08:34,291
Stadiums! Arenas!
954
01:08:35,041 --> 01:08:37,125
And Frank's not going to be making a lot of money.
955
01:08:38,041 --> 01:08:38,916
You are.
956
01:08:39,666 --> 01:08:41,458
And you, right?
957
01:08:44,291 --> 01:08:45,500
What do you say, boys?
958
01:08:46,000 --> 01:08:48,666
50,000 people screaming your name.
959
01:08:49,708 --> 01:08:50,750
You're gonna love it.
960
01:08:51,250 --> 01:08:52,916
Sounds rad, Benny.
961
01:08:53,583 --> 01:08:54,750
Right, Fab?
962
01:08:55,500 --> 01:08:57,083
Yeah, sure. Big time.
963
01:08:57,875 --> 01:09:00,000
Fabulous, Fab.
964
01:09:01,333 --> 01:09:03,041
And there's something else. Clive and I...
965
01:09:04,125 --> 01:09:05,416
we found your new single.
966
01:09:05,791 --> 01:09:09,708
It's called "Blame it on the Rain". Dianne Warren, she's a genius.
967
01:09:09,791 --> 01:09:10,750
An inspiration.
968
01:09:10,833 --> 01:09:13,833
She wrote it. It was supposed to be for Whitney Houston,
969
01:09:14,166 --> 01:09:15,791
but we decided to give it to you.
970
01:09:18,208 --> 01:09:19,125
Yes.
971
01:09:44,083 --> 01:09:46,791
It's crazy! Get this brother...
972
01:09:46,875 --> 01:09:50,458
They give it to us, because we are bigger,
973
01:09:50,916 --> 01:09:52,125
bigger than Whitney, man!
974
01:09:52,708 --> 01:09:55,000
- It's unreal.
- It's just you, there's no rapping this.
975
01:09:56,916 --> 01:10:00,375
Now you're getting a little jealous 'cause I'm the lead singer!
976
01:10:00,458 --> 01:10:04,291
What are you talking about? The lead singer is in Germany, okay?
977
01:10:04,791 --> 01:10:05,750
Yeah.
978
01:10:36,708 --> 01:10:38,666
UNDERSTANDING THE MUSIC INDUSTRY
979
01:11:19,916 --> 01:11:23,083
That's our new song. Nice, right?
980
01:11:23,666 --> 01:11:27,875
And Dad, we're going on tour next month, I want to invite you and your family.
981
01:11:27,958 --> 01:11:30,791
That sounds wonderful, I can't wait.
982
01:11:31,541 --> 01:11:32,541
Hey Rob,
983
01:11:33,291 --> 01:11:35,250
There's just one thing I want to talk to you about.
984
01:11:36,833 --> 01:11:37,916
It's a little embarrassing.
985
01:11:38,458 --> 01:11:40,125
- What's going on?
- Well you know, Tony...
986
01:11:40,541 --> 01:11:43,958
He's got a very good chance to go to a very good college.
987
01:11:44,583 --> 01:11:46,750
But the fees, oh man...
988
01:11:49,375 --> 01:11:51,458
Hey, do you think you can help out there a little bit, son?
989
01:11:53,541 --> 01:11:54,791
How much you need?
990
01:11:55,500 --> 01:11:57,583
Something like 60,000 would help out a lot.
991
01:11:58,125 --> 01:11:59,125
Uh...
992
01:12:01,083 --> 01:12:03,416
You want $60,000 from me?
993
01:12:04,333 --> 01:12:05,750
As a loan, of course...
994
01:12:07,000 --> 01:12:08,750
I mean Robert, you have my word,
995
01:12:09,208 --> 01:12:10,708
that we'll pay it back.
996
01:12:12,666 --> 01:12:13,708
Rob?
997
01:12:16,250 --> 01:12:17,250
Rob?
998
01:12:18,250 --> 01:12:19,375
Are you still there, son?
999
01:12:21,791 --> 01:12:22,791
Look...
1000
01:12:23,416 --> 01:12:27,083
I'm sorry if I made you feel uncomfortable. I mean, anything would help.
1001
01:12:27,875 --> 01:12:29,583
If you go into half, like...
1002
01:12:30,125 --> 01:12:31,291
30...
1003
01:12:32,291 --> 01:12:33,666
or 25 or...
1004
01:12:36,458 --> 01:12:40,291
What was the name of the base you were stationed at in Munich again?
1005
01:12:40,375 --> 01:12:41,375
Umm...
1006
01:12:42,833 --> 01:12:44,708
Oh God, it's been so long.
1007
01:12:45,333 --> 01:12:47,250
Was it the one right next to the river?
1008
01:12:47,708 --> 01:12:49,166
or the one by the mountains?
1009
01:12:50,125 --> 01:12:51,333
The river.
1010
01:12:52,291 --> 01:12:53,833
It was definitely the river.
1011
01:12:54,791 --> 01:12:56,500
There's only one base in Munich.
1012
01:12:57,833 --> 01:12:59,375
And it's nowhere near the river.
1013
01:13:00,583 --> 01:13:01,833
So fuck you!
1014
01:13:03,416 --> 01:13:04,333
"Dad".
1015
01:13:05,291 --> 01:13:06,708
Rob?
1016
01:13:16,250 --> 01:13:18,541
We all wanted it to be true.
1017
01:13:20,916 --> 01:13:22,833
You don't know how it feels man.
1018
01:13:24,541 --> 01:13:26,333
Not to know where you from
1019
01:13:28,750 --> 01:13:30,041
I'm nobody.
1020
01:13:30,416 --> 01:13:31,541
You're not...
1021
01:13:32,708 --> 01:13:35,416
You don't need your Dad or whoever to be someone.
1022
01:13:36,291 --> 01:13:38,750
You're so much. Just you...
1023
01:13:40,916 --> 01:13:43,375
You got balls like no one else man!
1024
01:13:44,583 --> 01:13:47,708
And you make things happen. Look at where we are.
1025
01:13:53,833 --> 01:13:55,875
My Dad left my family when I was...
1026
01:13:58,000 --> 01:13:59,208
...but you're a kid.
1027
01:14:03,000 --> 01:14:04,791
I do know how you feel.
1028
01:14:05,458 --> 01:14:06,541
A little bit.
1029
01:14:20,625 --> 01:14:22,250
Alright, guys... so...
1030
01:14:22,333 --> 01:14:24,477
I'm gonna turn on the mics in between songs,
1031
01:14:24,501 --> 01:14:26,816
so you can uh interact with the audience.
1032
01:14:27,000 --> 01:14:28,083
This is embarrassing.
1033
01:14:28,416 --> 01:14:31,666
Noo~, a lot of people use playback or half playback.
1034
01:14:31,750 --> 01:14:34,333
It's normal these days. Have a great show!
1035
01:14:35,916 --> 01:14:38,041
Hear that? Everybody's faking.
1036
01:14:38,125 --> 01:14:41,500
They lipsync to their own voices. That's different.
1037
01:14:42,083 --> 01:14:43,125
Is it really?
1038
01:14:44,875 --> 01:14:46,833
How you feeling, Michigan?
1039
01:14:47,333 --> 01:14:50,000
Are you ready for the next wild thing?
1040
01:14:50,458 --> 01:14:53,166
Here's that ice cream flavor you're all craving.
1041
01:14:53,583 --> 01:14:56,916
Give it up for Milli Vanilli!
1042
01:14:57,750 --> 01:14:59,875
- This is unreal.
- This is fucking real.
1043
01:15:00,291 --> 01:15:02,041
Let's just show them we deserve to be here.
1044
01:15:03,250 --> 01:15:05,541
- Love you, brother.
- Love you.
1045
01:15:06,166 --> 01:15:08,208
One, two, three, four,
1046
01:15:08,625 --> 01:15:09,583
five, six,
1047
01:15:09,666 --> 01:15:10,708
seven, eight!
1048
01:15:11,125 --> 01:15:13,166
How you feeling, Michigan!
1049
01:15:26,666 --> 01:15:27,916
Are you ready?
1050
01:16:11,416 --> 01:16:16,333
You couldn't hear the songs. 50,000 people screaming.
1051
01:16:16,958 --> 01:16:18,916
The most incredible high.
1052
01:16:19,416 --> 01:16:21,083
We felt like gods.
1053
01:16:25,125 --> 01:16:26,916
These fucking sandwiches are shit!
1054
01:16:27,000 --> 01:16:28,250
What is this huh?
1055
01:16:28,333 --> 01:16:29,958
Where is my sushi?!
1056
01:16:30,916 --> 01:16:32,000
Hello?
1057
01:16:32,083 --> 01:16:34,208
I'm asking you a fucking question!
1058
01:16:34,291 --> 01:16:37,875
Hey hey hey! Another fantastic show, boys!
1059
01:16:38,291 --> 01:16:39,875
God, look at you!
1060
01:16:39,958 --> 01:16:43,625
Oh my God, it was pure magic, absolutely electrifying, it was just brilliant.
1061
01:16:44,250 --> 01:16:46,166
I haven't seen such a performance since Prince.
1062
01:16:47,500 --> 01:16:50,000
So why we don't have any fucking sushi, then? Huh?
1063
01:16:51,333 --> 01:16:52,541
I... don't know. Todd?
1064
01:16:55,125 --> 01:16:58,041
I'm sorry...can I have a word with Rob and Fab, please?
1065
01:16:58,125 --> 01:16:59,500
- Alone.
- What do you want, Gary?
1066
01:16:59,583 --> 01:17:02,041
- Just.. just say it, okay?
- Who was that tonight?
1067
01:17:03,125 --> 01:17:04,458
Screaming "We want some pussy"!?
1068
01:17:05,916 --> 01:17:08,041
It's not a 2-live crew concert!
1069
01:17:08,416 --> 01:17:10,123
You do know, we've got 10 year old girls in the audience!
1070
01:17:10,147 --> 01:17:10,708
Gary.
1071
01:17:10,791 --> 01:17:13,333
You should be selling vacuum cleaners or something.
1072
01:17:13,416 --> 01:17:16,791
I've been managing tours for 15 years and they'd never have fucking problems like this.
1073
01:17:16,875 --> 01:17:20,333
You're constantly late, drunk, high, you hit on every female...
1074
01:17:20,416 --> 01:17:22,208
- Paula Abdul complained.
- Gary.
1075
01:17:22,666 --> 01:17:24,500
I know you mean well,
1076
01:17:25,625 --> 01:17:27,125
but let's just think for a moment
1077
01:17:27,625 --> 01:17:31,958
Of all those people, you're going to make a wonderful, happy life right now,
1078
01:17:32,041 --> 01:17:35,666
because of the hard work that Rob and Fab are putting into their performances
1079
01:17:35,750 --> 01:17:37,166
every night.
1080
01:17:37,875 --> 01:17:40,708
Let's just think of these people for a moment okay?
1081
01:17:50,958 --> 01:17:52,375
Alright?
1082
01:17:52,875 --> 01:17:55,000
Now go, and get their sushi.
1083
01:19:30,166 --> 01:19:34,583
Oh what the hell, Todd, I thought you said this interview was going to be a positive piece!
1084
01:19:35,083 --> 01:19:39,083
Did Rob really say all that. That he's contributed more to music than Elvis?
1085
01:19:39,166 --> 01:19:40,416
Bob Dylan?
1086
01:19:40,500 --> 01:19:42,333
The fucking Beatles!?
1087
01:19:42,416 --> 01:19:45,875
Well, maybe something was lost in translation, I don't know.
1088
01:19:45,958 --> 01:19:48,916
Why are you letting them do interviews when they're high?
1089
01:19:49,000 --> 01:19:52,666
- Well, they're high all the time...
- Yeah, well, stop that!
1090
01:19:52,750 --> 01:19:55,125
Don't let them talk to reporters anymore!
1091
01:19:55,149 --> 01:19:57,333
Yeah, but what about the Today show and Good Morning America?
1092
01:19:57,416 --> 01:19:59,500
I said NO, Todd! Don't you get it?!
1093
01:20:00,666 --> 01:20:02,958
Yep, but how am I supposed to do my job if we can't...
1094
01:20:03,041 --> 01:20:05,208
I don't want them to speak in public
1095
01:20:05,291 --> 01:20:06,500
at all.
1096
01:20:06,583 --> 01:20:08,083
Now put Rob on the phone, right now.
1097
01:20:08,583 --> 01:20:11,625
Um, they need to rest. Last night was a little...
1098
01:20:12,625 --> 01:20:14,250
... wild.
1099
01:20:41,375 --> 01:20:42,250
Come on!
1100
01:21:40,833 --> 01:21:42,666
MILLI VANILLI: TAPE GETS STUCK AT BRISTOL CONCERT
1101
01:21:42,750 --> 01:21:46,916
There's some stuff in the local paper, but nothing big in the major news so far so...
1102
01:21:47,833 --> 01:21:49,083
Don't worry about it too much,
1103
01:21:49,583 --> 01:21:50,666
I guess.
1104
01:21:53,500 --> 01:21:55,333
Maybe we should go to the public.
1105
01:21:55,833 --> 01:21:57,041
Come clean.
1106
01:21:57,791 --> 01:21:59,291
Have a press conference.
1107
01:22:00,375 --> 01:22:01,666
Tell them everything.
1108
01:22:02,500 --> 01:22:03,666
Tell the truth.
1109
01:22:06,500 --> 01:22:08,625
You really wanna think that through.
1110
01:22:09,458 --> 01:22:13,416
Hey, on a more positive note: Nike... they want to make a Milli Vanilli sneaker.
1111
01:22:13,750 --> 01:22:15,833
Make the shoe laces look like your braids.
1112
01:22:16,500 --> 01:22:18,708
- That's pretty cool, huh?
- Oh my God!
1113
01:22:19,333 --> 01:22:20,791
You're nominated.
1114
01:22:20,875 --> 01:22:23,666
You're nominated for a Grammy. They just announced you on the radio.
1115
01:22:24,166 --> 01:22:26,166
Soul II Soul, Neneh Cherry,
1116
01:22:26,250 --> 01:22:27,958
Ton Loc and...
1117
01:22:29,541 --> 01:22:31,250
Milli Vanilli!
1118
01:22:41,625 --> 01:22:43,875
This was supposed to be a German project.
1119
01:22:45,083 --> 01:22:46,583
One German single.
1120
01:22:47,708 --> 01:22:50,750
Now we're talking about three number 1 hits in the US,
1121
01:22:51,291 --> 01:22:55,000
a #1 album worldwide and a Grammy nomination.
1122
01:22:56,875 --> 01:22:58,375
They're not going to win.
1123
01:23:03,000 --> 01:23:05,458
You know they gotta sing live there, right?
1124
01:23:06,375 --> 01:23:08,791
Everybody gotta sing live at the Grammy awards.
1125
01:23:11,333 --> 01:23:12,791
You realize that, right?
1126
01:23:16,125 --> 01:23:18,458
You know what? It's gonna be funny.
1127
01:23:20,041 --> 01:23:21,250
I wanna see that.
1128
01:23:22,375 --> 01:23:25,291
I think you should all be proud of your achievement.
1129
01:23:26,166 --> 01:23:27,250
I am.
1130
01:23:27,791 --> 01:23:29,240
How can we be proud?
1131
01:23:29,264 --> 01:23:31,916
When we gotta enter that studio through the fucking back door,
1132
01:23:32,708 --> 01:23:36,875
while these two dumbasses get to hang out with Quincy Jones at the Grammy awards?
1133
01:23:40,916 --> 01:23:44,291
Brad, you just bought yourself a house.
1134
01:23:44,750 --> 01:23:46,208
With an apple tree.
1135
01:23:47,375 --> 01:23:51,250
You can bake yourself wonderful apple cakes, right?
1136
01:23:52,416 --> 01:23:57,125
I mean, Frank brought all of you together to create this
1137
01:23:57,541 --> 01:23:59,750
amazing work of art.
1138
01:24:00,166 --> 01:24:02,208
It's great for everybody.
1139
01:24:03,250 --> 01:24:04,250
Right?
1140
01:24:04,875 --> 01:24:07,041
Andrea and I are grateful for, yeah...
1141
01:24:08,791 --> 01:24:12,166
- ...but it's not just about money, Milli.
- It's about the music.
1142
01:24:12,791 --> 01:24:16,166
And the music just got nominated for a Grammy.
1143
01:24:16,958 --> 01:24:18,333
So let's celebrate!
1144
01:24:22,750 --> 01:24:24,291
How long is this supposed to go on?
1145
01:24:25,791 --> 01:24:26,875
Frank?
1146
01:24:28,958 --> 01:24:30,208
When is it enough?
1147
01:24:32,458 --> 01:24:33,458
Frank?
1148
01:24:36,833 --> 01:24:37,833
Frank?
1149
01:24:39,666 --> 01:24:41,708
The Damn Grammys.
1150
01:24:41,791 --> 01:24:46,000
- We knew we didn't deserve to win.
- We were scared to win.
1151
01:24:46,791 --> 01:24:48,250
It felt so wrong.
1152
01:24:49,500 --> 01:24:51,041
So we made a plan.
1153
01:24:51,750 --> 01:24:55,833
Everybody has to sing live at the Grammys, so let's do that.
1154
01:24:55,916 --> 01:24:58,041
Make it our moment of truth.
1155
01:24:58,416 --> 01:25:01,250
We were ready to sing live, no matter what.
1156
01:25:22,458 --> 01:25:23,541
Hey guys, uh...
1157
01:25:23,875 --> 01:25:25,375
so they're gonna go with the playback.
1158
01:25:25,791 --> 01:25:26,791
What?
1159
01:25:27,708 --> 01:25:28,875
They're gonna go with the tape.
1160
01:25:29,583 --> 01:25:30,833
What do you mean?
1161
01:25:31,250 --> 01:25:33,250
- Everybody has to sing live here.
- Yea...
1162
01:25:33,791 --> 01:25:35,750
They're going to make an exception for you guys.
1163
01:25:36,375 --> 01:25:37,541
It's been decided.
1164
01:25:39,000 --> 01:25:42,458
Who the hell thinks they can make decisions without even talking to us, huh?
1165
01:25:42,541 --> 01:25:46,125
What if we make the decision not to go on stage?
1166
01:25:48,500 --> 01:25:49,750
Fab...
1167
01:25:54,458 --> 01:25:56,625
There are 50 million people,
1168
01:25:56,958 --> 01:25:59,196
waiting for you in front of their TV sets, in a
1169
01:25:59,220 --> 01:26:01,458
room full of the world's biggest superstars.
1170
01:26:02,500 --> 01:26:05,291
This is the biggest stage you're ever going to get in your life.
1171
01:26:06,625 --> 01:26:07,625
So?
1172
01:26:21,375 --> 01:26:23,250
And the Best New Artist is...
1173
01:26:25,666 --> 01:26:26,625
Milli Vanilli.
1174
01:27:31,208 --> 01:27:33,166
Welcome back guys.
1175
01:27:33,250 --> 01:27:37,041
Starting out with the most recent topic: yesterday's glamorous Grammy Event...
1176
01:27:37,125 --> 01:27:41,541
- You watched it as well, right Kendra?
- Oh of course, I was happy to see Miles Davis win.
1177
01:27:41,625 --> 01:27:46,291
I just wish Soul II Soul would've won Best New Artist, or Neneh Cherry. Tone Loc.
1178
01:27:46,375 --> 01:27:49,625
You don't like Milli Vanilli? I find their accents quite charming, though.
1179
01:27:49,708 --> 01:27:54,416
The whole act is fake. You know the rumors, and yesteday they weren't even singing live!
1180
01:27:54,500 --> 01:27:57,500
First time in Grammy history, they allowed a band to use playback.
1181
01:27:57,583 --> 01:27:59,705
So far, nobody in the industry seems to care.
1182
01:27:59,729 --> 01:28:02,000
Oh of course not, Danny, not with all that money coming...
1183
01:28:02,083 --> 01:28:04,375
Don't listen to those airheads.
1184
01:28:05,166 --> 01:28:06,458
Hey, come on!
1185
01:28:06,541 --> 01:28:08,333
You won the damn thing!
1186
01:28:09,041 --> 01:28:10,375
You're winners!
1187
01:28:12,833 --> 01:28:13,833
Right?
1188
01:28:24,291 --> 01:28:27,250
So I talked to Clive and we have a fabulous idea.
1189
01:28:28,125 --> 01:28:30,625
We think you should be leaving the US for a while.
1190
01:28:30,708 --> 01:28:31,833
Travel the world.
1191
01:28:32,208 --> 01:28:34,416
I definitely could use a vacation.
1192
01:28:34,500 --> 01:28:36,875
Oh no, we're talking about a world tour.
1193
01:28:38,666 --> 01:28:40,083
No other artists.
1194
01:28:40,166 --> 01:28:41,750
Just you two darlings.
1195
01:28:42,750 --> 01:28:47,041
And we're talking giant venues: Wembley Stadium, open air concerts,
1196
01:28:47,125 --> 01:28:49,291
100,000 people, that sorta thing.
1197
01:28:50,750 --> 01:28:53,916
We are only doing another tour if we can sing live, Benny.
1198
01:28:54,666 --> 01:28:55,708
You understand?
1199
01:28:55,791 --> 01:28:58,000
Yeah, whatever works... technical issues...
1200
01:28:58,083 --> 01:28:59,208
No, they're not.
1201
01:28:59,666 --> 01:29:01,958
We're gonna sing live, or not at all.
1202
01:29:02,458 --> 01:29:05,875
We are making the decisions from now on, Benny.
1203
01:29:08,291 --> 01:29:09,541
Nobody else.
1204
01:29:15,125 --> 01:29:18,166
A world tour? Are you out of your mind?
1205
01:29:18,583 --> 01:29:21,958
You can't sing live at the Wembley stadium, it will be a disaster.
1206
01:29:22,041 --> 01:29:25,875
What do you know about our singing, huh?
You've never really given us a chance, Frank!
1207
01:29:26,833 --> 01:29:28,916
And it's not about fucking Wembley, yeah?
1208
01:29:29,000 --> 01:29:31,541
Maybe we have to start through smaller arenas, okay, we know
1209
01:29:31,625 --> 01:29:33,666
but the point is: we can sing!
1210
01:29:33,750 --> 01:29:37,125
Don't you understand now with the Grammy and all,
1211
01:29:37,208 --> 01:29:41,083
we need to be extra careful. We keep a low profile!
1212
01:29:41,625 --> 01:29:44,083
- Yes? Do you understand?
- No more lies, Franky, okay?
1213
01:29:44,541 --> 01:29:47,500
This tour will be called "Tour of Truth".
1214
01:29:47,583 --> 01:29:48,625
Oh my God!
1215
01:29:49,291 --> 01:29:52,041
Arista and Benny are on our side and they want this word as much as we do.
1216
01:29:52,750 --> 01:29:53,750
You get that?
1217
01:29:53,833 --> 01:29:58,041
They can't even use the word "Milli Vanilli" without my consent!
1218
01:29:58,125 --> 01:30:01,166
I am the producer! Do you understand that?
1219
01:30:02,291 --> 01:30:05,291
Do you want a second album? Only with our real voices!
1220
01:30:05,666 --> 01:30:09,583
And if you don't want that, maybe we should go to the public and tell the whole world,
1221
01:30:09,666 --> 01:30:11,083
about this fucking lie?
1222
01:30:40,791 --> 01:30:43,833
"I hereby request you to immediately cease and desist from using and applying
1223
01:30:43,916 --> 01:30:48,666
the trademark MILLI VANILLI as well as the name "Milli Vanilli" promoting any future tour."
1224
01:30:48,750 --> 01:30:54,625
"Subject to a penalty amounting to 100,000 Deutschmarks for each and every case of violation."
1225
01:30:56,458 --> 01:30:57,375
Motherfff...
1226
01:31:00,083 --> 01:31:02,791
...any negotiations must be completed...
1227
01:31:02,875 --> 01:31:04,666
...through attempted blackmail...
1228
01:31:04,750 --> 01:31:06,750
... completely unprofessional!
1229
01:31:08,500 --> 01:31:10,708
ABSOLUTELY NO WORLD TOUR WITHOUT HIS PERMISSION
1230
01:31:13,083 --> 01:31:15,375
No, he's put up walls... he's talking about us being unprofessional!
1231
01:31:22,125 --> 01:31:24,208
Guys, this is the fifth time I'm calling
1232
01:31:24,291 --> 01:31:26,416
We really need to talk. Just the four of us.
1233
01:31:26,500 --> 01:31:28,625
Without Arista, Benny, and other lawyers.
1234
01:31:28,708 --> 01:31:30,875
I booked you a flight to Germany.
1235
01:31:30,958 --> 01:31:32,416
Please call me...
1236
01:31:41,833 --> 01:31:44,875
"$300,000 for any more TV shows..."
1237
01:31:44,958 --> 01:31:47,916
... showing to you that all the merchandise
and touring income of the world tour...
1238
01:31:48,000 --> 01:31:49,666
...will go directly to me!
1239
01:31:50,875 --> 01:31:52,166
You can't cross that line!
1240
01:32:09,000 --> 01:32:10,708
Don't give in.
1241
01:32:12,541 --> 01:32:14,666
They want more money, they want to tour...
1242
01:32:14,750 --> 01:32:19,833
and on the next album, to compose and sing their own songs.
1243
01:32:23,041 --> 01:32:24,041
...and...
1244
01:32:24,375 --> 01:32:26,541
they called from The Washington Post.
1245
01:32:27,583 --> 01:32:29,166
They have some questions.
1246
01:32:34,458 --> 01:32:36,291
Book me a flight to New York.
1247
01:33:03,250 --> 01:33:09,375
Good day everybody, my name is Frank Farian,
I am the producer of the band, Milli Vanilli.
1248
01:33:10,250 --> 01:33:15,125
I hereby want to announce, that Robert Pilatus and Fabrice Morvan
1249
01:33:16,000 --> 01:33:18,541
never sing a single note on their records.
1250
01:33:25,333 --> 01:33:27,625
Kio, my friend, how are you?
1251
01:33:28,958 --> 01:33:31,458
They didn't sing the lead vocals,
1252
01:33:31,791 --> 01:33:33,583
they didn't sing the background vocals.
1253
01:33:34,375 --> 01:33:37,333
They sang nothing. They merely lipsynced.
1254
01:33:38,875 --> 01:33:41,166
The cat is out of the bag.
1255
01:33:42,250 --> 01:33:43,458
Hmm?
1256
01:33:43,541 --> 01:33:45,583
The cat is out.
1257
01:33:46,291 --> 01:33:48,916
What cat, Kio? We don't have a cat.
1258
01:33:49,000 --> 01:33:52,958
To me this whole project was kind of an art project.
1259
01:33:53,041 --> 01:33:54,791
A new art form.
1260
01:33:54,875 --> 01:33:56,666
It was an artificial band.
1261
01:33:58,291 --> 01:34:00,958
The owner wants you to leave.
1262
01:34:03,250 --> 01:34:04,458
I'm sorry.
1263
01:34:05,666 --> 01:34:10,166
The music was fantastic. The videos and shows were great.
1264
01:34:10,250 --> 01:34:11,708
People were happy.
1265
01:34:13,166 --> 01:34:14,791
So what's the problem, right?
1266
01:34:35,916 --> 01:34:38,000
You know what?
1267
01:34:38,083 --> 01:34:39,250
It's all good!
1268
01:34:39,708 --> 01:34:41,000
Forget him.
1269
01:34:41,750 --> 01:34:43,208
We are free now, Fab.
1270
01:34:44,041 --> 01:34:45,958
We can work with other producers.
1271
01:34:46,583 --> 01:34:48,875
We have Arista and Benny behind us.
1272
01:34:49,500 --> 01:34:51,083
And we still have our fans.
1273
01:34:51,791 --> 01:34:53,625
It's not the end brother,
1274
01:34:54,083 --> 01:34:55,375
it's a beginning.
1275
01:34:56,583 --> 01:34:57,666
Yeah...
1276
01:34:58,791 --> 01:35:03,416
Clive Davis and all of us here at Arista are shocked and apalled
1277
01:35:03,875 --> 01:35:05,375
at this disturbing news.
1278
01:35:05,750 --> 01:35:08,416
Of course we hereby cancel the upcoming world tour
1279
01:35:08,875 --> 01:35:12,041
and will remove all of Milli Vanilli's records from our catalogue.
1280
01:35:12,958 --> 01:35:15,416
- Thank you.
- Like all of you, I feel betrayed.
1281
01:35:16,375 --> 01:35:19,958
I sincerely apologize to all the disappointed fans out there.
1282
01:35:20,041 --> 01:35:22,666
The world is still a dangerous place. Saddam Hussein...
1283
01:35:22,750 --> 01:35:24,916
...who threatened to invade Kuwait.
1284
01:35:25,000 --> 01:35:27,208
We interrupt our coverage of the Iraq
1285
01:35:27,291 --> 01:35:31,000
War for the latest on the Milli Vanilli scan~
1286
01:35:31,458 --> 01:35:35,541
After comparing their talent to icons like the Beatles and Elvis Prestley...
1287
01:35:35,625 --> 01:35:39,500
I think it's a joke. I think they should be run out of town on a rail.
1288
01:35:40,541 --> 01:35:43,041
The group's producer confirmed what's long been a rumor
1289
01:35:43,125 --> 01:35:46,291
the duo never sang a note on their hit album.
1290
01:35:46,375 --> 01:35:50,250
You know who I saw at the American Music Awards? Milli Vanilli. And you know something?
1291
01:35:50,333 --> 01:35:54,000
They weren't bitter, they were very nice, in fact they brought my car right up front.
1292
01:35:57,125 --> 01:36:00,583
I sing better much than you.
1293
01:36:00,916 --> 01:36:03,291
No, I sing better than you!
1294
01:36:05,958 --> 01:36:08,791
In Phoenix, fans threw their tapes and album into the street,
1295
01:36:08,875 --> 01:36:10,916
then steamrolled and destroyed them.
1296
01:36:11,250 --> 01:36:15,083
Robert, please call me. I am very worried.
1297
01:36:15,625 --> 01:36:16,750
Call me, okay?
1298
01:36:18,041 --> 01:36:19,166
I love you.
1299
01:36:21,208 --> 01:36:23,916
My son won't eat. He isn't sleeping...
1300
01:36:24,000 --> 01:36:26,416
He doesn't want to go to school or to church anymore.
1301
01:36:26,500 --> 01:36:29,342
Poor Jeremy here, he's one of many
1302
01:36:29,366 --> 01:36:32,208
kids traumatized by this lie.
1303
01:36:32,291 --> 01:36:34,041
Dancers who couldn't even sing.
1304
01:36:34,125 --> 01:36:35,916
Fueled by the promise of fame...
1305
01:36:36,000 --> 01:36:37,458
Liars!
1306
01:36:37,541 --> 01:36:42,250
I am scared that there is not anything out there to protect my children from this kind of hoax.
1307
01:36:42,333 --> 01:36:46,125
Milli Vanilli, the lipsyncing liars. More details tonight at 11...
1308
01:36:48,291 --> 01:36:49,291
Fab?
1309
01:36:50,583 --> 01:36:51,708
Is this real?
1310
01:36:54,875 --> 01:36:56,083
It is.
1311
01:36:57,416 --> 01:36:58,833
We gotta do something.
1312
01:37:16,291 --> 01:37:18,625
Settle down, settle down!
1313
01:37:19,208 --> 01:37:20,583
Hello guys.
1314
01:37:20,958 --> 01:37:24,083
First of all I want to point out
1315
01:37:24,166 --> 01:37:27,125
that Brad Howell and John Davis
1316
01:37:28,791 --> 01:37:31,000
are the real singers of Milli Vanilli.
1317
01:37:31,375 --> 01:37:33,916
- This is getting really weird now.
- And...
1318
01:37:34,000 --> 01:37:36,500
They should get this Grammy.
1319
01:37:40,375 --> 01:37:41,708
We ended it.
1320
01:37:42,666 --> 01:37:43,916
Rob and Fab
1321
01:37:45,250 --> 01:37:46,500
...ended it.
1322
01:37:47,333 --> 01:37:48,458
We did.
1323
01:37:49,541 --> 01:37:51,666
We made a deal with the devil.
1324
01:37:52,583 --> 01:37:53,708
So to speak.
1325
01:38:36,791 --> 01:38:38,583
- What are you doing?
- What are YOU doing?!
1326
01:38:39,041 --> 01:38:41,333
I called a bunch of people.
1327
01:38:42,125 --> 01:38:43,250
We are going...
1328
01:38:44,916 --> 01:38:46,166
...to have a party.
1329
01:38:47,291 --> 01:38:49,000
Why are we hiding, Fab?
1330
01:38:51,208 --> 01:38:52,625
Come on, baby, get dressed.
1331
01:38:53,333 --> 01:38:54,750
I'm gonna wear your jacket, okay?
1332
01:38:56,041 --> 01:38:58,916
You know what? Don't get sucked into all the negativity, brother.
1333
01:38:59,750 --> 01:39:01,333
We're still stars, Fab.
1334
01:39:01,916 --> 01:39:02,916
Gotta act like it.
1335
01:39:03,916 --> 01:39:04,958
Alright?
1336
01:39:06,666 --> 01:39:08,125
Come on, baby, get dressed!
1337
01:39:09,583 --> 01:39:11,958
I love you brother, I fucking love you. I fucking love you.
1338
01:39:12,791 --> 01:39:15,250
Let's have a fucking party!
1339
01:39:24,541 --> 01:39:29,041
I heard Lisa went on tour with New Kids On The Block.
1340
01:39:34,750 --> 01:39:36,875
I'm gonna call a limo. I'm going out.
1341
01:39:37,625 --> 01:39:38,625
Great.
1342
01:40:18,833 --> 01:40:21,958
So, they want you out of the house by the end of the month.
1343
01:40:23,333 --> 01:40:24,333
Can you let Rob know?
1344
01:40:27,458 --> 01:40:29,166
He hasn't been home in awhile.
1345
01:40:29,250 --> 01:40:32,541
Well, I made a list of apartments for you guys, that you could afford.
1346
01:40:33,416 --> 01:40:34,541
Thanks, Todd.
1347
01:40:35,041 --> 01:40:37,166
Yeah, I'm probably going to go back to Arizona for awhile.
1348
01:40:38,000 --> 01:40:40,166
Maybe you guys should think about leaving LA too.
1349
01:40:43,041 --> 01:40:45,750
Where should we go, Todd? Another planet?
1350
01:40:51,000 --> 01:40:53,000
Okay, guys. Here's the deal:
1351
01:40:54,291 --> 01:40:56,000
As you know, I've been working with this lawyer
1352
01:40:56,083 --> 01:40:58,750
in Philly for the past few months or so.
1353
01:41:00,333 --> 01:41:03,708
- Taneshia, what do you want?
- Why? I want to hear this.
1354
01:41:05,000 --> 01:41:06,166
So.
1355
01:41:06,250 --> 01:41:10,291
The main point is what Farian and Arista did was legal.
1356
01:41:10,958 --> 01:41:12,958
I'm not saying it was cool, but...
1357
01:41:13,541 --> 01:41:14,583
it was legal.
1358
01:41:15,583 --> 01:41:18,083
But since we're members of BMI and ASCAP now,
1359
01:41:18,750 --> 01:41:20,916
we're gonna get paid for the publishing rights
1360
01:41:21,000 --> 01:41:23,708
and I'm also working on getting a share of the mechanical royalties as well.
1361
01:41:23,791 --> 01:41:25,833
How much money we talkin', KG?
1362
01:41:27,375 --> 01:41:28,875
I don't know exactly, Spen, but
1363
01:41:30,000 --> 01:41:33,333
they sold over 13 million singles. So...
1364
01:41:36,791 --> 01:41:37,791
Wow!
1365
01:41:38,166 --> 01:41:42,000
And Kevin Liles became one of the most successful music executives ever.
1366
01:41:42,083 --> 01:41:44,791
They all became real successful in what they're doing.
1367
01:41:45,208 --> 01:41:50,041
DJ Spen, Bill, Ky, Rodney, Juney, Wayne.
1368
01:41:52,791 --> 01:41:54,333
And most importantly...
1369
01:41:56,291 --> 01:41:57,833
they're all still friends.
1370
01:42:07,416 --> 01:42:09,750
Did you call your sister back?
1371
01:42:11,583 --> 01:42:13,458
She's been trying to reach you.
1372
01:42:17,208 --> 01:42:18,625
Please drink this.
1373
01:42:20,166 --> 01:42:21,458
Thanks mom.
1374
01:42:27,833 --> 01:42:28,875
Robert.
1375
01:42:31,125 --> 01:42:32,333
I'm gonna move out.
1376
01:42:35,875 --> 01:42:37,458
You breaking up with me, brother?
1377
01:42:37,541 --> 01:42:39,000
No, I'm not breaking up with you.
1378
01:42:39,958 --> 01:42:42,916
But I don't. I'm just not going to live together with you anymore.
1379
01:42:46,208 --> 01:42:47,250
Yeah?
1380
01:42:49,125 --> 01:42:50,583
Do what you gotta do.
1381
01:42:56,375 --> 01:42:58,583
Did I tell you about this producer, Maurice?
1382
01:42:59,416 --> 01:43:02,000
He says we can use his studio whenever we like.
1383
01:43:02,541 --> 01:43:04,166
Maurice is a drug dealer.
1384
01:43:05,125 --> 01:43:09,125
You've known him for two weeks and he doesn't have a studio, he has a keyboard.
1385
01:43:10,333 --> 01:43:12,583
We can be superstars again, Fab.
1386
01:43:13,583 --> 01:43:15,333
I don't want to be a superstar.
1387
01:43:16,333 --> 01:43:17,958
We can make movies too.
1388
01:43:18,416 --> 01:43:21,083
I have some cool ideas. One is called "Pop Cops".
1389
01:43:22,541 --> 01:43:25,500
You and me working as undercover cops for the FBI.
1390
01:43:26,208 --> 01:43:29,791
No no no, come on, don't look at me serious.
1391
01:43:30,208 --> 01:43:32,708
I'm starting to think you need therapy, not me.
1392
01:43:39,708 --> 01:43:40,875
Pop cops.
1393
01:43:48,166 --> 01:43:49,333
Pop cops.
1394
01:44:18,708 --> 01:44:20,750
Whatchu doing here, Vanilli?
1395
01:44:22,083 --> 01:44:24,250
Looking for Sunset Boulevard?
1396
01:44:40,291 --> 01:44:41,375
Frank.
1397
01:44:41,958 --> 01:44:43,541
I need $300,000.
1398
01:44:45,500 --> 01:44:47,291
- 300,000...
- A bail.
1399
01:44:48,708 --> 01:44:50,333
Robert was arrested.
1400
01:44:51,083 --> 01:44:53,625
He stole a car. And other things.
1401
01:44:55,083 --> 01:44:56,583
We have to get him out.
1402
01:45:00,041 --> 01:45:02,791
Can't you do a project with him?
1403
01:45:03,416 --> 01:45:04,625
Anything.
1404
01:45:22,500 --> 01:45:24,708
I don't care if they were singing or not.
1405
01:45:25,208 --> 01:45:27,250
I freakin' love Milli Vanilli.
1406
01:45:30,791 --> 01:45:32,708
It was such a great summer.
1407
01:45:34,583 --> 01:45:35,916
Yes it was.
1408
01:45:38,375 --> 01:45:40,708
He ain't caught a rough time in here.
1409
01:45:59,166 --> 01:46:00,958
I'll take you home.
1410
01:46:18,875 --> 01:46:20,916
How great that you still have my Walkman.
1411
01:46:24,166 --> 01:46:26,208
I wish Dad would talk to me.
1412
01:46:27,083 --> 01:46:28,500
I would have explained everything to him.
1413
01:46:29,333 --> 01:46:30,875
- And Mom.
- Robert.
1414
01:46:31,500 --> 01:46:33,333
They were always proud of you.
1415
01:46:34,083 --> 01:46:35,125
They really were.
1416
01:46:35,583 --> 01:46:37,291
We were all proud of you.
1417
01:46:40,333 --> 01:46:42,541
You can live here if you want.
1418
01:46:42,625 --> 01:46:44,541
- I...
- But without drugs.
1419
01:46:44,625 --> 01:46:47,083
I'm leaving for Sri Lanka in three months.
1420
01:46:48,875 --> 01:46:51,166
To heal me. Frank pays for it.
1421
01:46:53,500 --> 01:46:55,583
Then we go to Frankfurt and...
1422
01:46:56,166 --> 01:46:59,125
- We are making a new project.
- Robert, what are you saying there?
1423
01:47:00,041 --> 01:47:03,416
You are not a singer. You were never a singer.
1424
01:47:03,500 --> 01:47:07,000
Stop this crap with the music. Finish with Farian!
1425
01:47:07,791 --> 01:47:09,125
You don't need it.
1426
01:47:10,041 --> 01:47:11,041
Hey.
1427
01:47:11,125 --> 01:47:13,416
You can lead a completely normal life.
1428
01:47:15,000 --> 01:47:16,416
A completely normal life.
1429
01:47:18,916 --> 01:47:20,000
Okay.
1430
01:47:21,208 --> 01:47:22,541
Flight tickets.
1431
01:47:23,416 --> 01:47:24,708
Don't lose them, okay?
1432
01:47:26,125 --> 01:47:28,791
A bit of reading on Sri Lanka.
1433
01:47:30,500 --> 01:47:31,583
It's gonna be great.
1434
01:47:33,041 --> 01:47:35,583
And here's some cash.
1435
01:47:39,000 --> 01:47:41,000
Frank greets you.
1436
01:47:41,583 --> 01:47:44,333
Work on a new song for yourself.
1437
01:47:44,916 --> 01:47:48,000
...and, we got a song for you...
1438
01:47:49,375 --> 01:47:50,458
Soon.
1439
01:49:46,291 --> 01:49:50,125
We are interrupting our current news coverage...
1440
01:49:50,208 --> 01:49:53,208
Breaking a news story where Robert Pilatus,
1441
01:49:53,291 --> 01:49:58,291
the troubled former pop star was found dead in a Frankfurt hotel on Friday.
1442
01:49:58,375 --> 01:50:00,541
The cause of death is still unconfirmed,
1443
01:50:00,625 --> 01:50:04,250
but a combination of drugs and alcohol are suspected.
1444
01:50:04,333 --> 01:50:07,625
Pilatus struggled with addiction issues in the past.
1445
01:50:07,708 --> 01:50:10,750
He was only 33 at the time of his death...
1446
01:50:11,166 --> 01:50:12,708
German police are still...
1447
01:51:48,041 --> 01:51:49,583
I'm sorry brother.
1448
01:51:51,916 --> 01:51:53,625
I couldn't be there for you.
1449
01:51:56,666 --> 01:51:58,458
I tried for a long time.
1450
01:52:00,500 --> 01:52:05,000
Your sister and I recommended therapy for you, but you wouldn't go.
1451
01:52:08,166 --> 01:52:12,000
But then I had to get away, and save myself.
1452
01:52:13,416 --> 01:52:14,958
I had to make a fresh start.
1453
01:52:16,583 --> 01:52:18,000
You did your best.
1454
01:52:19,791 --> 01:52:21,583
I don't know if that's true.
1455
01:52:23,791 --> 01:52:25,833
It's not your fault, Fab.
1456
01:52:35,125 --> 01:52:36,875
It's not your fault, Fab.
1457
01:52:58,041 --> 01:52:59,333
First...
1458
01:52:59,416 --> 01:53:01,958
I'd like to play a song for my brother.
1459
01:53:02,333 --> 01:53:03,458
For Robert.
1460
01:53:47,333 --> 01:53:56,000
In Memory of Robert Pilatus
1461
01:53:58,000 --> 01:54:02,000
Fabrice Morvan released his solo album "Love Revolution" in 2003
and continues to work as a singer and songwriter.
1462
01:54:02,000 --> 01:54:10,000
He lives in Amsterdam with his wife and four children.
1463
01:54:11,200 --> 01:54:15,000
Frank Farian lived in Miami, where he went to the studio and produced
music every day until his death in January 2024.
1464
01:54:15,000 --> 01:54:23,700
He sold over 800 million records over the course of his career.
1465
01:54:25,300 --> 01:54:29,000
Ingrid "Milli" Segieth worked with Frank until the end.
1466
01:54:29,000 --> 01:54:37,700
In 2014, she married Frank's best friend, a rock guitarist, with whom she lives near Frankfurt.
1467
01:54:39,300 --> 01:54:47,500
Carmen Pilatus lives with her daughter in Munich and is still committed
to keeping her brother's memory alive.
1468
01:54:49,500 --> 01:54:58,000
Todd Headlee moved to Arizona
and became a luxury real estate agent.
1469
01:55:00,000 --> 01:55:08,000
Brad Howell continues his career as a musician and singer in Germany.
He lives a relaxed life with his wife Andrea, surrounded by apple trees.
1470
01:55:10,200 --> 01:55:19,000
John Davis continued his career as a solo artist. Together with Fab Morvan,
he created "Face Meets Voice - A Milli Vanilli Experience"
1471
01:55:19,200 --> 01:55:28,700
We are grateful for John's great contribution to the development of this
film until his death in 2021.
1472
01:55:35,250 --> 01:55:36,833
I like your voice.
1473
01:55:37,666 --> 01:55:39,166
Singing live finally.
1474
01:55:39,833 --> 01:55:41,000
Big crowd, huh?
1475
01:55:44,500 --> 01:55:47,333
I think this movie shouldn't end like this.
1476
01:55:48,916 --> 01:55:50,750
Let's give them what they want.
1477
01:55:51,791 --> 01:55:52,958
One last time.
1478
01:56:09,500 --> 01:56:11,916
Girl you know it's true.107110
