All language subtitles for Early Edition s03e16 Number One With A Bullet

His name is Gary Hobson.

He gets tomorrow's newspaper today.

He doesn't know how.

He doesn't know why.

He only knows when the early edition
hits his front door.

He has 24 hours if that stays right.

Well, you know what?

The fact of the matter is that you never
told me that you sang in a church

choir. Well, you never asked. I mean,
there's a lot about me you don't know,

Gary.

Such as?

Such as I have a life outside of the
bar. Well, I know that. I know what goes

in your life. Oh, really?

So, um, name one thing I do when I'm not
working.

Well, I know you sing in the church
choir.

Okay.

How many brothers and sisters do I have?

Well, you have one brother.

Wrong. No, no, that's right. You have
two brothers.

Wrong. I don't have any brothers.

That's a trick question. I know you have
a sister who lives in St. Louis.

Milwaukee. Well, at least I know she's a
teacher. Physical therapist. That's

what I mean. She teaches physical
therapy.

Give it up, Gary.

Look, Marissa, you're a very private
person. People don't know that much

you.

Hey, Gary.

Hey, listen.

Now, did you know that Marissa, she
sings in the church choir?

Yeah.

Yeah, we heard them last week. You did?

Oh, all right. Then how many brothers or
sisters do you have?

Two sisters. Why?

No reason.

I really don't have time for this. I
gotta go.

Something big?

Some rapper. He gets hurt at a record
store.

B -Rock.

You heard of him?

Who hasn't? Who hasn't what?

You heard of C -Rock?

Oh, C -Rock. Oh, yeah, he ruled. He's
been on the cover of Vibe like three

times. You haven't heard of C -Rock?

Huh?

I gotta go.

Hey, I think you might want some
company.

No, no, I don't need any company. Well,
remember there were some things I told

you that you didn't know about my life?

Yeah. Well, here's another one.

C -Rock, I've been following his career
for years.

I think you want company.

I think you need some company, don't
you? I think so, too.

All right, I want company.

You'll see, we got a lot of fans out
here today, so we got to keep this line

moving, all right? Thanks, brother.

Yo, next up.

Garth Brooks' line is over there.

I'm not here to see Garth Brooks. I'm
here to see Rita.

Oh, see what?

Excuse me.

Are you blind?

Yes. There's something you should know
about your date.

I know.

Believe me, I know.

Lovely

lady's

net.

Marissa?

Hello,

Julius.

Hey, hey, are you crazy or something?
What's the matter with you? Put your

off her. Put your hands on this man like
that.

Yo, get her up out of here, huh?

You're a big -time star, man. We can't
afford to have people coming up to you

like this.

Sorry. Let her go.

Let her go?

Yeah, I ain't tripping, man. It ain't no
thing.

Hey, you said we'd have some sort of
security up in here. What is that?

Yo, yo, D.

I'm Noah.

You do?

You do?

Guess I had that coming, right?

Let him go.

Come on, Gary, let's go.

Yo, Marissa.

People do change, you know.

Yo, man, I made up all that stuff,
right? Come on, now we got CDs and

How's your hand?

Fine.

Are you on some ice?

Let it go, okay?

You know, sooner or later you're going
to have to tell me what happened.

And why's that?

Because this isn't like you.

What, because I hit someone?

You don't think you owe me an
explanation?

It's personal, Gary.

You know him?

We grew up together.

Followed his career for years.

If I told you the truth, you wouldn't
have taken me with you.

What did he do, dump you at the prom or
something?

Or something.

Come on. It's a long story. I'm
listening.

Is it true, Gail?

Did you really slap Julius?

It just happened.

It's you.

Go, girl.

I'm there. I hope you hit him hard. I
did.

Gary, do you mind?

No, no. I just do.

No.

Tell me everything.

What's your favorite game?

Wave Race.

Pokemon.

Favorite music?

Rock. Rap.

You like to see rock?

Yeah, put my mom in the room. Let me
watch you.

Me neither. You see his new video, The
Money's Gotta Die?

Bunch of times. Best one yet.

So cool.

The coolest part is when he opens fire
on my car and the whole thing blows up.

Yeah, he's a great singer.

You ready to go, baby?

Next time, two out of three.

All right.

Bye, Henry.

Bye.

Bye, Gail. Bye, Chris.

Can I talk to you for a minute?

Sure.

You're going to tell me what's going on
here because I have a right to know.

How's that?

How's that?

I'll tell you how that is. It's
because... Goodbye.

Because?

Because you used me. You used me and the
paper to find out about C -Rock. And

you've always told me. You've always
told me the paper always has a reason.

There's always a reason for everything.

If you tell me, what's the reason that
you're in the middle of all this?

It's complicated.

I'm a good listener.

Years ago, C -Rock, he was just plain
old Julius then.

He and Gail had a thing.

They had problems, then one day he up
and took off for L .A.

That's it?

That's enough?

He left her.

Mm -hmm.

Mm -hmm.

So why doesn't Gail hit him? What makes
you all of a sudden mean Muhammad Ali

McGinty?

Because I was the one left to pick up
the pieces when he left her with the

The baby?

Chris. Chris?

You mean the same Chris, the Chris that
I caught at the church?

Julius is his daddy.

Really?

Mm -hmm.

Julius was on the verge of this big
recording contract when Chris was born,

he chose music in L .A. over being a
father.

Someone had to step in.

You? Mm -hmm.

The one I really feel bad for is Chris.

I can't imagine growing up not knowing
who your father is.

He doesn't know?

That's the way Gail wants it.

You rock, huh?

What a sweetheart.

Tell me.

I really see why you couldn't wait to
get back to this place.

This is where I grew up.

Really? You grew up inside a church?

Man, why y 'all in my business?

Man, what are we doing here?

I just want to look around.

B -Rock?

Julius Ruby.

What's up, Red? How you doing, man, sir?
All right. Is that really you?

Yeah, that's him, little homie. C -Rock,
the man himself.

Somebody gotta die.

Somebody gotta die tonight.

That's cool, though. You stay.

So, Rev, this is my manager, Derek
Johnson.

Derek Johnson, this is the Honorable Rev
next.

Reverend, how you doing? All right.

So, uh, what brings you back home?

Publicity, sales, showing DJ the hood.

By the way, you seeing Gail?

Chris, where's your mama?

You know my mom?

Gail is your mama?

This is Gail's boy, Chris.

Hey,

come on. I'm eating here, huh?

Hey, what can I take? Nothing that
concerns you, Henry.

What about that?

What's this?

Shots fired at rapper bystander killed.

35 -year -old mother of four was
tragically shot and killed yesterday

unidentified assailant attacked the
recording artist known as C -Rock.

The attack took place in front of the
Mount Moriah Church.

The victim, Yvette Jones, was chasing
after her daughter, who had forgotten

hat.

Winston claimed the gunman was aiming at
rapper C -Rock and Jones, and he burned

him and ran into the line of fire.

According to the coroner... It's
instantaneous.

It's, uh... Never mind, Henry.

Isn't he going to die?

No, no, no, he's going to die. Henry,
now listen.

Your mother comes back. You tell her
that I had to go out. Do you understand?

And why don't you finish the sandwich
there, buddy?

The coolest part is when they're walking
down the alley with a gun in each hand.

You know, it's instant. They're running
away from you. Are these the kind of

videos you're making?

Oh, it's just an image, Rev. You know,
in a tank.

I'm glad you like the video, kid.

I'll be telling you, we got to get up
out of here. You got to do some

for that show tomorrow night. Yo, Jack,
it's the telephone for you. What's

tomorrow night?

Oh, it's just a little show. We kick off
the new album, you know.

You want to come?

Do you?

Ha, ha, ha, Chris.

Remember the benefit.

Oh, man. Oh, man. The choir's putting on
a benefit performance here for the

church, and your mother expects you to
be here.

You're only here one night?

I ain't so.

But look, just in case your mom changes
her mind.

Two backstage passes. You straight.

Can I go show my friends?

Cool kid.

You look tired, Julius.

Nah, man. I'm straight, ref.

Cool.

Don't see why I told him.

No. You got the whole place looking kind
of cool, ref.

This church hasn't seen a fresh coat of
paint since you were an altar boy.

You're an altar boy?

Be cool.

Yeah. You know, it's funny, but when I
think of home, I always see this place.

Maybe I can make a small donation.

How does 10Z sound?

$10 ,000?

What did you say?

I got to get my camera.

Thelma!

Are you out of your mind?

What? You don't have no $10 ,000 to be
blowing on a church.

That's my money, man.

Yo, man, have you checked out your bank
statements lately?

Have you checked out the music charts?

C -Rock is slipping, buddy, real fast.

Or do I have to remind you why we're
here?

No, you don't, man. No, I don't have to
remind you that we're paying for this

tour out of our own pocket. That the
record companies were no longer

videos. And that the only reason we're
doing well in this city right here is

because this is your hometown.

You know, I shouldn't even have to
remind you that if we don't do well on

tour, there'll be no more limos, no more
luxury suites, and no more all -night

hoochie parties. Yo, chill out, man.

I'm gonna make this tour work, you know
what I'm saying?

Meanwhile, I'm giving something back to
my old hood.

What, you trying to improve your image?
Yeah, okay.

Hardcore gangster rapper gives money to
church.

Look, you done been slapped all upside
your head by some woman today. Now,

what's next? Uh, music for elevators?

Okay, that was really good. So why don't
we start with New Revelation, okay?

We'll work on that.

Something's going on. What?

Julius is here with Reverend Nix.

And it looks like he's trying to give
him a check.

Excuse me.

What's... What's going on here?

Gail.

Julius.

Julius was going to save the church?

Not with this, he's not.

What are you talking about? Julius, we
have all seen your videos.

We've all heard our kids singing his
songs about shooting the police and

shooting each other.

Gail, it's $10 ,000.

$10 ,000? For Judas, it was 30 pieces of
silver.

Is that the going rate for our
conscience today, Reverend?

$10 ,000?

Gail, what's wrong with taking the money
if we can do something positive with

it? That's what I'm saying, what?

I'm just trying to get something back to
my home. Oh, no, please. This is not

your home. Gail, he's just trying to
help. You know what? You all can talk

yourselves into whatever it is you like.

But that does not change the fact that
this is blood money.

Now, if you want to tell the rest of our
members here that we bailed ourselves

out by joining hands with the devil,
then fine.

Reverend, you take this money.

You take this money and I'm gone.

I'm sorry, Julius.

This ain't about my music.

And it's not about the church either.

It's about us.

Oh, please.

You make all these people suffer.

Just to pay me back?

Hey, man, you know what? Forget about
it, you know? You did your good deed and

you get to keep your money. You know
what I'm saying? Come on, now.

Ten thousand dollars.

You believe that?

Turn it down ten G's.

Yo, man, let that woman mess with you
like that. You know what I'm saying? No,

but I just feel bad.

from the record store.

Tell me, who are you?

I said, who are you?

Come over here.

C .H. Crazy H.

You run with Crazy H? I ain't got to
tell you nothing.

No, fool, you don't have to tell me
nothing.

You know what H's problem is?

Is that my man Rock got up out of here
and he made something of himself.

Now get out of my face, fool.

I'm just a messenger. Oh, yeah?

Well, we got the messenger, all right?

You go back and you tell him he better
back off and he better stay away.

Don't you think you ought to call the
police?

That's not how we do things around here.

Is it?

Let the school go.

Get up out of here now.

Look at him go.

Just like on the video.

You're lucky C -Rock didn't catch him.

Just like on the video.

Right, C -Rock?

Well, now what do you think about his
money?

Christopher, come here. Come here.

All the

songs

are like that?

More or less.

His manager, Derek, he's the one that
came up with the image, the idea, the

name. I mean, Julie's just playing a
role.

You know, what happened this afternoon,
that was in the whack. That was a real

gun. I know.

This morning when I flagged him, I was
so angry.

But now I don't know, Amy.

It was nine years ago, you know.

He was just a kid. A kid who wanted to
make it.

He's not a kid anymore.

This is Gail's boy, Chris.

Gail is your mama? But that does not
change the fact that this is blood.

Hello, Julius.

Marissa?

Now, if you want to tell the rest of our
members here that we bailed ourselves

out by joining hands with the devil...
People do change, you know.

Take it.

I'm telling you.

I don't want that.

That's what I got bodyguards for.

Man, you better go on and take this.

Bodyguards ain't around 24 -7.

Look what happened today.

You have Crazy H decided to send some
more of his hall boys around. You got to

be ready.

What is you talking about, man?

You sound crazy.

Look, this is about protecting you.

And this can only help your image.

And show people that C -Rock really can
back his play.

People already know what C -Rock can do.

Oh, they do.

Then how come your record's on sale?

Because rapping about money is play.

You know what I'm saying? Did you even
listen to the new songs I gave you?

Yeah, I looked at them.

But they weren't C -rock material.

What is you saying, man?

I am C -rock, fool.

Oh, yeah, that's right.

It seems to me when I first met you, you
was just some little old street kid

named Julius Ruby who had thoughts on
being the next Stevie Wonder.

I put the street in your beat. You
understand what I'm saying?

So without me, it's back to flipping
burgers for chump change.

You're not C -Rock.

We're C -Rock. You understand what I'm
saying?

Man, I'm just saying, man, I'm tired of
rapping about money.

Man, I could rap about something deeper
than that, D.

Deeper? Man, nobody want to hear nothing
about nothing deeper.

They want to hear something louder,
something harder.

You know what I'm saying? Something that
they could feel.

Nobody want to hear nothing from no
choir boy.

And you know something?

Neither do I.

Rap star slain backstage at concert.

He was fatally wounded backstage at the
Metro concert hall last evening where he

was pronounced dead at the scene.

There were no witnesses to the fatal
shooting which occurred during the

act of what was ultimately C -Rock's
last concert.

C -Rock took a shot to the chest.

He was discovered alone in his dressing
room.

That's all it says?

That's it.

Well, that's almost a go -on.

We can stop this.

How? Well, I'll just find this guy who
came after him the first two times. It's

Crazy H. I'll find him and I'll stop
him.

Scared, Gary?

Nothing's gonna happen.

I promise.

Excuse me.

Crazy H record.

One moment.

Can I help you? Yeah, I'm here to see
Crazy H.

You're late.

I am?

He's been expecting you all morning.

He has?

You're the A &R guy, right?

Starlight Records?

Yes, that's me.

Well, look, before you go in, I know you
A &R guys are always looking for new

acts, right?

That's right.

Well, this is rad!

Look.

When I say looking, you say fine.
Looking?

Fine. Looking?

Fine. You got it!

When you see me coming down the street,
every day I have to have mine.

You get up on your feet, cause you know
I'm looking.

Fine. Looking?

Fine.

Looking? Fine. You know I'm looking.

Fine.

Why don't you send me a tape?

Thank you.

Tell me something I want to hear.

Get out of here.

Not you, not you.

Have you seen the doll? It looks nothing
like me. I thought we were going to

give him a kung fu grip.

How are we doing on the cartoon?

Any word for Mariah?

On the duet I did?

Ha -ha. Yeah, get on it.

What do you think about this? Would you
buy one of these for your kids?

Oh, no, not unless it had the kung fu
grip like you're saying.

I like the way you think, man. You want
a job?

I know you got a job, right?

Starlight Records.

What's up?

We're thinking about signing C -Rock.

That's great.

What's that to me?

Well, we heard there's bad blood between
you and him.

Did C -Rock say that?

No, not exactly, but... Look, man, I got
nothing against the brothers. As a

matter of fact, I like his new album.

It ain't selling, but that's not my
problem.

So there's no truth to... You're not
trying to... ice him?

You know, a lesser man would be insulted
at this point.

Well, yesterday, someone tried to kill
him.

And that someone claims that you sent
him.

Me? Kill C -Rock?

Well, that's what he said.

And he was also wearing one of those
necklaces.

I can't control my fans.

They sell these for $19 .95 at the mall.

Look.

I'm a businessman.

I got no beef with C -Rock.

Haven't you heard my music?

Crazy H is about love.

Love, you understand me?

Sometimes it's tough love, but it's
still love.

You're about love.

That's it, man.

And what about C -Rock?

Between you and me, the guy's a phony. I
mean, everybody knows it.

I mean, he's talented, but the street
ain't in his heart. His career is going

south. Best thing for C -Rock right now
might be if somebody did take him out.

Get a little publicity.

Might even sell a few records, you know
what I'm saying?

You like it?

It's cool, huh?

Oh, man. Thanks a lot, baby. I
appreciate it. Yeah.

Yo, Rob.

Yo, what's happening with you, man?

Man, I tried to call you about 20
different times. I've been pounding all

your door.

Tell me something. You trying to get rid
of me or something?

Did you forget you have a gig tonight?

I'm not going.

You're not going?

Gee, man, you're not going.

Man, you heard me, man.

I'm not performing tonight.

You're not performing?

I did a lot of thinking last night.

Rapping about money ain't me.

It's not who I want to be anyway.

You know, I got into this business to
bring something real into people's

man. Not fronting in big cars, wearing a
gang of jewelry.

I want to do something real, man.

I want to break new ground, D. Man, I
want to just... Wait a minute, check

out. You know what?

Last night I did some thinking, too, to
myself.

And I must say, first off, you were
right and I was wrong.

You are an artist and you are the man on
the show.

I'm just the man that makes the show
happen.

You're being straight with me, man?

I'm being real straight with you.

Look here, man.

I checked out some of your new rhymes.

I must say, they're pretty fat.

Now, if you're willing to take a chance,
I'm willing to take a chance.

When we get back to the studio in L .A.,
we can lay down some of these big old

tracks that you like and see what
happens.

You serious, dog?

Man, it's going to be off the hook, dog.

I promise, man. I promise.

I'm going to take it to another level.
That's real.

But, first of all, we've got to finish
this tour.

There's a lot of C -Rock fans out there,
and we just can't stop midstreaming.

I get it.

Well, it's just being here, back in
Chicago.

I got so much I want to write about, so
many things to catch up on, you know,

what I learned, what I've done.

I've been around the world, man.

And I want to hear it.

But you got to get dressed right now.
The limo's coming, all right?

And let me tell you this.

I like the idea about you getting
deeper. I really do, all right?

Yo. Yo, the plan's changed, all right?

I want you to meet me at the House of
Blues hotel bar in an hour.

I don't think Crazy H is the guy.

Then who is it?

I don't know. There could be hundreds of
people at that concert.

We're running out of time.

I'll try to find C -Rock, or I'll try to
stop the concert somehow.

How? I don't know. I'll try to figure
that out on the way. I gotta go now.

Goodbye.

Thank you very much.

Can I help you?

Yes, sorry I'm late. Stu Snyder,
Starlight Records. I'm here to see Crazy

Wait a minute. If you're the guy from
Starlight, who is he?

It's the word on the street.

Word on the street?

I'll tell you what. I'll look into it,
all right? If you look into it, how?

Look, Gary.

It's Gary, right?

Look, check this out. We're just a
little bit busy around here, all right?

know you're a little bit jumpy after
yesterday and things are a little bit

tough, but I'll tell you what.

Don't worry about a thing, all right? C
-Rock is in top notch hands, okay? I got

it covered, all right? So have a good
day and let me take care of you, all

right? I'm his manager, man. Don't worry
about it, all right? Peace.

What's up, man? You got it?

Of course I got it, man.

Sign, seal, and deliver, all right?

We need to talk about Julian.

What about him?

Why do you think he came to church
yesterday?

You know, I don't have time for this,
and I really don't care. He came back to

reach out, Gail.

With you, with me, with Chris.

I can feel it.

This is what was so important that it
couldn't wait until after the benefit?

Maybe not.

If you were ever going to give him a
chance, give him a chance now.

You know what? I really don't think this
is any of your business.

He's in danger, Gail.

What are you talking about?

Every moment, he has those people around
him.

I mean, look at yesterday afternoon.

Someone tried to kill him, Gail. He's
reaching out. You have to see that.

No, I don't have to do anything.

Why don't you ask him to come to the
benefit?

Because he won't come. He's got a
concert of his own, remember?

I think.

If you told him that you wanted him
there... But I don't want him there.

I don't get it. Why is Julia so
important to you all of a sudden?

is our chance to be there for him.

You mean like he was there for me?

Or Chris, for that matter.

No, he could have been there while I was
raising our son.

But no, I had to do that all by myself,
didn't I?

I was there too, Gail.

That was different.

How? I care about Chris.

Julius cares about Chris.

I know he's tried to help. I know he's
tried to send you money over the years.

don't want his money.

Marissa, Chris does not need money. What
Chris needs is a father. He has a

father. He has a father who wants to
take care of him. Why won't you let him

that? If you can't put your own feelings
aside, Gail, do what's best for Chris.

What's best for Chris is that he never
finds out that C -Rock is his father.

Just try.

You know, I don't even know why I came.

Yeah, well, then that makes two of us.

We've been best friends for a long time.
For as long as I've known you, it can

be awfully cold. Well, it can be an
awfully cold world sometimes, all right,

Melissa? I mean, we were so close
together. We would do things together

time. You know what? We can't go back
there, okay? No, but you can move

Is this helping you, Gail?

Holding all this hatred in your heart
after all these years?

Isn't it time to just let it go?

Sometimes, when someone wants to help
you, you have to give them a chance.

Oh, well, Julia's had this chance, okay?
Right now, I am doing whatever it takes

to make sure that Chris has his, okay?

You know what? We really shouldn't be
late for the benefit, all right?

Chris, honey, get your coat.

Chris?

Oh, my boy.

What is it?

He's gone.

All I found was this choir for Julius'
concert tonight.

Let's go. Come on.

You got it.

Yo,

man, you go on in five minutes, all
right?

Well, VIP entrances are on the side.

Starlight Records, C -Rock said we
should just go back.

I don't think so.

Look, pal, you want to be the one to
tell C -Rock that his cousins couldn't

backstage to visit him before the show?

No, if he wanted to see them, they'd be
on the VIP list, side entrance.

Come on, it's cold outside.

And we don't have any coats. And I'm
coming down with a cold seat.

Do I feel warm to you? No, I guess a
little bit. Come on, just bend the

He just went backstage. The guy after C
-Rod.

He's got a gun. He just went down this
hallway.

What's going on, Lou? I don't know.
Something about a gunman.

This

is

the guy.

That was at the church, and this is the
guy.

There was a CD store.

Here, take this.

And this time, this time we call the
police.

Hey, yo, Derek, man, you said no cop.

Derek. Hey, look, I just wanted to stir
the media up a little bit, pump up a

little publicity, all right?

But the little punk, he didn't want to
play along.

He didn't want to be C -Rock no more.

I couldn't let that happen.

So you get rid of C -Rock and then you,
uh, you get the rights to the music.

Hey, C -Rock dies tragically. It's all
over the news.

Sales go through the roof. I get 25 %
and I pay.

Is that right?

I trusted you, dog.

You didn't leave me no choice, altar
boy.

Well, it's over now.

Is that right?

Are you going to stop me?

I don't have to.

Lose the weapon now!

Drop it.

You ain't going to be nothing without
me, man.

We'll see.

Guess I owe you one.

We're the manager. Just let us
backstage. I am not going to leave

child is backstage.

There's got to be something.

Marissa, what's going on? Gary, it's
Chris.

We think he might be backstage.

I was just showing you I could be like
you.

Come here a second.

Honey, there's something that we have to
talk to you about.

I don't know.

We're waiting for you, Rock.

You're not nervous, are you?

Yeah, a little.

Kind of silly, you know, after all these
years of stung -up butterflies.

You'll be fine.

Well, how do you know that?

I know a lot about you.

At least more than I knew about you
yesterday.

You ready?

Ready.

I got my life right back to realignment.
If it's something for some people you

can't find it, be reminded.

You better keep the faith and show love,
not hate, and stop waiting. And get

yourself a new revelation.

Keep the faith and show love, not hate,
and stop waiting. And get yourself a new

revelation. Keep the faith and show
love, not hate, and stop waiting. And

yourself a new revelation.

One FBI agent is sent to investigate
arson in an Amish community.

She must uncover the truth before the
flames of hatred burn their homes to the

ground. But how do you begin when even
the victims of crime won't trust you?
