We want Rob! We want Rob!

You might not believe it,

but it is true:

We were once the most
big stars on the planet.

Translation and adaptation:
Arconrad - SPTranslate Team

- I love you brother.
- Love you too.

Come on!

Come on!

And you know why?

Because of you.

Because you loved us.

Okay, I know what you're thinking now.

Milli Vanilli.

Didn't they cheat the whole world?

Well,

somewhat.

But there is another side to this story.

Don't get us wrong,
we were not angels.

We are talking about the year 1989
and we were rock stars.

So... let's be honest, okay?

You must have heard
many things about us.

That I was...

Fakers, fraudsters,
liars, thieves...

Drug addicts, sex addicts...

that we were puppets...
Did I forget anything else?

Rob, I hate to say this,

but probably most of them
they've never heard of us.

Everyone is thinking: Who
the hell is Milli Vanilli?

I think you can say that
our story started here.

Without this guy nothing at all
these would not have happened.

His name is Frank.

And 20 years later
Frank struck.

With a project called

Boney M.

Sounds very good.

Only the violins need to be even more precise:

Listen!

Di-di-di-da.
Not like that, just like that!

Good? Um, again!

Everyone fell in love with Boney M.

Including my friend Rob.

Robert!

Robert!

Robert.

can't you hear

Your father is calling you, come.

there you are
Get in.

He is Robert.

Our son.

Robert, they are are
Helga, Klaus and Renate.

They also get involved in
our club, for Africa.

Hello.

Hello.

May?

In those moments I have
realized for the first time

why my parents had adopted me.

They wanted me to prove something to the world.

A good day.

A good day.

Carmen?

- I'm probably related to Boney M?
- Nonsense.

Robert, there are many people like you.
I'm just not here.

Your real father
he is an american soldier

Do not tell?

How do you know?

Know.

How far is America?

Very, very far.

Like from the earth to the moon.

That's one small step for man,

but a giant step for mankind.

You have to understand this.
Along with the music videos

the pursuit of music became la
as important as listening.

That's why we were perfect for MTV.
And MTV was perfect for us.

Fab, you are too fast.

Such as? As long as you want to
are you talking about your childhood?

They got it man.

At least go back to 1986.

Are you in a good mood?

We are Bionic Dance Band.

My name is Georgio "Hot Legs".

Earl on stage, the one and only Chris Laird.

Come on!

And fresh from Munich:

Robb Pilate!

Make some noise for Rob!

- Come on Rob!
- Come on Rob, come on Rob, come on Rob!

Has good taste.

Mrs. Winkler has you
seen in the pedestrian area.

Is this what you want to do with your life?

Robert?

I think it's great that...

music is your passion.

But... walking around the pedestrian zone?

I don't walk, father
I'm break dancing, okay?

Robert has a show this week
coming on tv dad

Ah, wonderful.

So he can afford it
own apartment.

Hans!

If you want, I'll move right in, dad.

Do you want me to move?

Want?

Robert?

Where do you want to go?

can i have your walkman

Of course.

Hey!
Where are you going?

Do you need help?

Fab Morvan?

Fab Morvan?

- The director wants to discuss the choreography.
- Ok, yes.

You're Fab Morvan, aren't you?

No, I'm Rob.

Robert Pilate.

- Okay, breakdancer.
- Exactly.

- I need your address.
- At the moment I don't have the address.

Hello.

I'm Fabrice from Paris.

Sorry for the delay.
The tram. It's so slow.

- Are you ok?
- Yes, everything is fine.

So Rob and Fab!
It sounds like a band.

come with me please

Not.

Only Fab because he deals with
choreography. I'll take you right away too.

Okay, yeah... cool.

Cut! Cut!

Sorry, Stefania.

Rob, no break dancing,
good? No top rocks.

keep dancing
You have to be in sync, okay?

- Factories?
- No freestyle, stick to the choreography.

-You were always late on step one.
- Shit.

- I'm a hip hopper.
- I live for rhythm.

It's just a job.
Be professional.

Just give them what they want.

Five, six, seven, eight.

One two three four...

- ... five, six, seven, eight.
- Don't forget to smile!

... three, four, five, six...

- Are we good?
- Good.

And action!

A masterpiece, isn't it?

I like hot girls.

Give me too.

- So what are you doing here man?
- I dance.

- Why don't you dance in Paris?
- I did, but...

there are a thousand dancers like me.

And here I am the only black man.

I thought so.

So, Rob and Fab.

Really sounds like a band don't you think?

can you sing

I can handle.

I want to learn, but the lessons are expensive.

Mom thinks that dancing,
music, they lead to nothing.

- Sounds familiar.
- One day I will make her proud of me.

i will be famous

By the way, I like your jacket.

Can I try it on?

Great, Frank.

Wonderful.

That's great.

Need a better microphone?

I could get the microphone on
which Stevie Wonder used here.

- You knew Stevie and I were here...
- Yes.

- Yes?
- Are they your kids?

I'm from the neighbor.

I don't really have time.

Mr Farian,

Boney M. is
a worldwide phenomenon.

They were equal to the Queen.

Yes

Only in the USA no one knows them.

Does that hurt you?

No why?
That's because of the label.

How about the allegations that Boney
M. are they just dancing dolls?

- Where are you from?
- From the Saarland Cultural Committee.

Listen, I gave
interviews with Rolling Stone,

at Time Out... and nobody
he asked such nonsense.

Liz is first soloist and Marcia sings,
and Bobby is doing brilliantly.

- Have some respect for that!
- Do you have respect for that?

There are arguments about money.

The interview is over.
Is enough.

Final.

One more question please.

Please.

Do you have a job for me?

- Again, what's your name?
- Ingrid.

But my name is Milli.

Milli?

Yes.

Very cool.

And now something really cool.

How cute!

I like the jacket.

Act like one
true superstars.

And louder!

I love you guys.

I sent these pictures
at all agencies in the city.

Yes...

I got a few jobs.

But it wasn't enough.

Sometimes we had to steal
supermarket food.

Luckily, Georgio gave it to us
allowed to live in the family garage.

Yes.

I don't know where all this will lead.

What do you want to say?

Everything is going great.

Yes, I'm not going to ask my mother for money anymore.

Hey!

Do you believe in us or not?

Believe?

- That's all we need, faith.
- No, it's not enough.

If we want to be a band,
we have to work on the songs.

We need a plan.

Yes,

You are right.

You know, what else do we need?

- I shouldn't... Rob.
- Silence.

What if Georgio's parents find us here?

Slave?

Yes?

- What are we doing here?
- I want to show you something.

Good.

Are you ready?

- Who did you see now?
- Marilyn Monroe.

Elvis.

Tina Turner.

Look at all those stars.

It all comes down to the hair.

The unique aspect.

- God.
- Exactly.

Mother? I am sorry that
I haven't called you in so long.

How are you?

Yes, everything is great with us.

We are making progress.

We meet next week with
Frank Farian, the producer of Boney M.

His nurse saw us dancing.

Boney M, mother.

Of course you know them.
You like.

But it is true.

I would never lie to you, mother.
This is the truth.

- Hey, let's... change jackets, okay?
- Not. It's my jacket and I'm keeping it.

- You are such a diva.
- Am I a diva?

- Yes.
- It takes you forever to get dressed.

- Calm down.
- You calm down.

- Let me talk.
- Stop!

Wow!
Yes, well done, baby.

Any soup?

when i was little
I didn't eat anything else.

Just potato soup.

We were very poor, so a
I had to learn to make something out of nothing.

The right spices
they make the perfect mix, yes.

Just like music.

I like the hair.
It's true?

Not.

But yours?

Frank, we practice
dance steps for you.

You will like it a lot.

Better than anything on MTV.

I'm not looking for dancers.

And I'm not looking for singers either.

I'm looking for

stars.

We have a song for you.

We need a lawyer.

- I don't even understand the words.
- Fab.

It's from Frank Farian!
The producer of the band Boney M.

He worked with Stevie Wonder!

- And you heard the song too.
- Yes, it's fantastic.

It's incredible.

And they pay us 10,000 marks.
As an advance!

- 10,000!
- And he didn't even hear us sing.

He believes in us.
See stars in us!

boys?

How about some ice cream?

Therefore,

if we sign this,

what will happen next?

What's next?
Nobody knows.

Work on the song, we take pictures

and we present the whole package
our record company.

And let's hope you like them.

Yes.

One last thing Fred:

- Project Name?
- Those with him?

It's great.

"Higher level", as in
the upper deck of a ship.

- "Top Deck" is a Top-Name.
- Honestly...

To be honest, I don't even like the name.
Is something...

It's too German.

i am german
Not everyone studied politics like you.

- Sit down.
- You make me nervous.

I make music for the masses.
I'm not ashamed of it.

It's just a temporary name. We could
use any name, even your own.

Milli.

Our lucky charm.

I like.

It is not enough.
I believe,

that something is missing.

Such as?

Simply perfect!

- Come on, give me your jacket, please.
- Man...

That's your song, right?

Are you guys singing this?

Yes.
Will be.

I didn't even know you sang.

Why so negative Melly?
The song is great.

- She is really wonderful.
- Yes!

- I like the song, but...
- That's stupid.

I know the song.

The band is called Numarx.

DJs have this song.

He always sang it on the east side.

Why are you lying to us?

Of course there is
already the song.

- Didn't I tell you that?
- No, Frank.

And why should I tell you?
It's called a cover version.

Guys, listen up. Whitney Houston
"The Greatest Love of All"

Cindy Lauper's "Girls Just
Wanna Have Fun":

are all new versions of
some older songs.

Everyone does this.

Everyone.

My friend Hans-Jörg has
gave this as a gift. From Jamaica.

And then I did this.

Our greatest hit.

17 weeks number 1.

Guys, as a producer

you have to see the potential of a song.

- This is exactly the same song.
- No, it's slower.

I picked up the beat, did a chorus and…

It's a young band from Baltimore.

They are called Numarx.

A small record label.

Nobody knows her.

- Two DJs showed this to Frank.
- And you can simply take the song like that?

You can make any version
cover of any song.

Yes?

I like Eric B and Rakim
Hip hop.

- Yes!
- Stark.

... actually he's a drunk who
it comes from the 70s. Um, here.

The soul seekers.
I tried it.

Take it.

Wow, we...

- We didn't know any of this.
- And why should you know?

That's what it's all about
in this whole business:

Illusions.

Therefore...

When are we going to record our own?
our cover version of the song?

I... I already recorded it.

It sounds wonderful.
have you heard it

Yes but...

we want to sing

You told us to work on the song.

I meant the choreography, guys.

With small steps.

we can try to sing

but for now you guys are the frontmen.

Interpreters.

The stars.

And I need you to give it
one hundred and fifty percent, okay?

Because people

listen... with their eyes.

Did you understand?

Are you sure about the name?
It sounds totally stupid.

And the two...

Everyone knows them
here in Munich from P1,

but they are only dancers.

Something to drink?

Marcus...
Rob and Fab are world class.

I can get to the US the most
good performers I know.

Finally, forget the states.
Your sound is too German.

What the? I can do it too
I also go to another label.

No, you can not.

What you do in Germany belongs
Hansa Records. Have you already forgotten this?

But...

Good.

We will do this.
Yes?

We must have the name and
of course everything will change?

Milli?
We ourselves will make the recordings:

1000 promotional discs.
We do some gigs in clubs and…

we are going to ibiza

No vacation! distribute
the singles at the English DJs.

The Germans don't check that.

And call Chrysalis, in London.

What name?

Yes, Milli Vanilli of course.
The name is great!

It's the coolest name in the world!

Fab! We are at the same time
on radio and TV!

Say hi to your mom and give it to her
a kiss from Robert.

Robert salutes you, mother.

Did you receive the money I sent you?

Mom, we're in
all of Europe on the radio.

Have you seen our video?

That's right, you need MTV for that.

MTV.

It's a television station, mom.

hi mom

Robert.

Look how you look?

Oh, the hair?

I've had it like this for a few months.

Look.

He is Fabrice, the best friend.

Our album. We will present it
in London next week.

Would you like to hear them?

That's nice, Robert, but...
for us it is important

that you can sing

Mother.

- I'm not a retailer.
- Then what are you?

You are the one in the picture?
With a wig?

It's not a wig, mom.

You better go now.

Your father is in a bad mood.
They shouldn't see you like this.

Let's meet next week.

Or rather you call, Robert.

We are always here for you.

You have...

You tried to find your
real parents?

I wrote letters.

But nothing happened.

If the song

it will be a real hit,

I mean,

a real mega hit

in America...

maybe my real father
will then see our video.

Yes, maybe.

Let's not go wrong with this one

between us.

We're brothers, Rob.

Forever.

Everything happens so fast.

Know.

It's cool though.

Do you think fans will come?

There will be a few people, for sure.

It is real?

Fab!

Who else lives here?

Wow!

This is crazy.

Fab, come here!

This is called a "minibar".

It's incredible here.

How I love these tiny little bottles.

Haha!

And we can order whatever we want.
Room service, baby!

- Rob!
- Yes.

Come here.

CAN WE GO UP?

Wow! Look, look, that would
it could be a very good cover.

Markus, tell me, are you on vacation?
are you sleeping

Hi Franky, I'm in a meeting
with Stefania. Do you know each other?

We need records, Markus.
We need to make more records.

- We enter the top 20.
- Deutsche Dance Charts? Toll.

Not in the German Dance charts,
Witzbold.

England. The official charts from Marea
Britain. I licensed it to Chrysalis

Not getting anything in Saftladen?

Mr. Farian?
Pleased to meet you.

I am a big fan of your music.
I love Boney M.

Yes...

Thank you.

Sorry to bother you.

My business card, yes?

Thank you.

Markus, we have to record records.

To sell them.
Do you understand this?

- Yes.
- Very good.

Mann...

- Record discs!
- Yes.

You really don't want to eat anything?

Nothing.

Do you also want some of this merchandise?

It's really good quality.
Mick Jagger quality.

Not.
We do not do such things.

No no.

Really?

Never.

Sin.

It is very good for sex.

They vary.

Do you know what's going on here, Frank?

We have questions from
South Korea, Australia,

from Timbuktu. where the hell are you

I have to do something else
you talk to BMG.

Why are you whispering, Frank?

- I'm not whispering.
- Hell yes.

- I know what's going on, idiot.
- Honey, calm down.

Stop telling me "Blah, blah, blah, baby"
not to hear this again.

"Blah, blah, blah, blah, baby."

No no no...

No no no...

Pham, pham, pham...

I wrote down the number for you.
Don't forget it, okay?

Great, Brad.
Let's double double that, shall we?

Super!

Um...

I think it would be time to
meet the real Milli Vanilli.

Do you see this guy over here?

His name is Brad.

Brad Howell.

He is not only a great singer,

but he also plays the organ
electronics and also plays drums.

A true superstar...

... here in the studio.

But he has asthma.

And...

he likes to eat a lot of cakes.

Then there's John Davis.

I once had another rapper, Charles, but

later he gave me in
judgment and... it's complicated.

John is not just a rapper.

It is one of the best
musicians I've ever met.

And the Rocco sisters,

Jody and Linda.

true professionals,
very cool people...

and if I don't give in now
judgment, which they later did.

Their voices were crucial
for our sound.

By the way, I sang too
on our songs.

I sing at every one
song I produce.

And let's not forget the band:

Harry, Bimey,

Helmut, Peter

Borg...

But honestly:
would you ever buy t-shirts with us

you would call our names, you would celebrate us
for our dancing skills?

We'd be good to appear on MTV, wouldn't we?

Ask yourself this.

Hey!

Listen!
I received a fax.

From...

Clive Davis!

Who is Clive Davis?

He is the boss of Arista Records:
whitney houston,

Earth Wind and Fire, Sântana...

Aerosmith.
Bruce Springsteen.

The most powerful man in the business.

Congratulations, Frank.

Thank you, John.

Hey guys!

I am,

Milli!

- Wake up!
- Tell them we'll call back.

She is here!

Hello!

Hi Millie.

Hey!

Why do not you answer the phone?
I've been trying to reach you for ages.

Not.

- Hey, Millie.
- Hi, Robert.

Looks like you're having fun
very well in London.

You don't have to feel embarrassed.

Be careful with this stuff.
Promise me, okay?

And answer the damn thing
on the phone when I call you!

Listen.

We made a deal with
Arista Records in New York.

They want to release your song in America.

They want a whole album with you guys!

You can not.

Get ready, here we go
at dinner with Benny Dorn.

A manager from LA

I thought you were our manager.

- Who else is managing?
- E.g...

Michael Jackson.

Seriously, I didn't even know it existed
such music in Germany.

I thought you were listening
only popular music...

And Oktoberfest stuff.

When I saw your video, I
go crazy for good. Isn't that right, Todd?

He went completely crazy.

It made me happy, it did
made me want to dance!

It turned me on a lot.

And I knew immediately:
These two boys have,

this unique talent,
this rare

refreshing, something special.

I really think you have it all
must to conquer America.

Milli Vanilli can become a band

that all Americans can fall in love with.

Black, white, gay, straight.

- You're really hungry, aren't you?
- Yes.

We don't have anything like that in Germany.

- What is this?
- It's called sushi, Robert.

The national dish of Japan.

Excuse me for a moment, guys.

I like Milli

She is a very sweet lady.

And Frank,

great producer.

But hear me out:
I looked at your contract.

You should get more money.

Many more.

Do you understand?

And you should live in L.A.
to be successful in the USA.

It is the biggest dream of
to get to America.

I'm already working on a concert
to take you to Club MTV.

I love that show.

- Obviously. Everyone loves them.
- Even my mother!

It's the biggest show in the world.

And we'll make sure that
you have enough sushi, Rob.

What do you say?

The whole world is talking
about them and their hair.

You are the worldwide sensation of the summer

and I think it's time to conquer America.

Here they are, Milli Vanilli with
"Girl, you know it's true"!

Even though I was in shape
maximum tonight, right?

I shook America

and the whole country
he fell in love with us.

Maybe not the whole country.

Oh yes...

- Hello?
- Hi, I'm Bill.

Hello...

We urgently need to
I'm talking to Sean or Kevin.

Calm down.

Sean!

Kevin!

Calling from the gas station.

Is this not your song?

How did it end up on TV?

I mean they are bad countries…

Shut up, T.

They stole our song.

Milli Vanilli?

What idiots name is that too?

He's going to pay for it.

It will pay off big and fat.

Everyone will pay.

Hello?

- We're recording right now.
- I need to talk to Larry.

It's in Philadelphia.

Did our song sell those guys?
It is not like that?

- Without telling us?
- I have no idea what you mean.

I'm talking about that Milli Vanilli shit.

Those shitty boys with pigtails!

- I know nothing.
- They stole my song.

Come back later, okay?

- Not...
- I am sorry.

- No, I can not...
- I am sorry.

In honor of Rob and Fab!

Quiet!

Rob, Fab,

I think I speak for everyone
the world at Arista, including for Clive,

which can't be here, now, so...

It was a show
extraordinary at Club MTV!

What a start!

A big thank you to you and…

welcome to america!

Yes!

Tomorrow we'll be #9 in the US charts.

We will massively force the market with another 400
radio stations to play the song

and it rains with requests for interviews.
My fax machine takes off like a rocket.

How you feel?

Um...

Yes, it's a wonderful feeling.

We love America.

We feel at home.

We would like to thank you
for your work.

- Yes, it's wonderful.
- Yes.

I love this... thing
this from here, by the way.

can we have it

Sure, it's yours.
We have enough.

Cool.

What a horrible accent.
The recordings sound so different.

We have to cancel all live interviews.

Does Clive know about this?

God

They certainly need it
of diction teacher in L.A.

Strategically speaking, they are black,

but most fans
theirs are white women.

Is this black music?
Or white?

RandB? hip hop? Pop?

Nobody knows what the hell she is.

But it sure is going great.

Oh yes.

Is what we see true, brother?

Not.

It's a beautiful illusion.

A trap.

- The truth is that we are impostors.
- We are performers. Animators.

Do you think everyone can do this?

We deserve all of this, Fab.

So enjoy them.

Come on, enjoy, man.

I'll try.

It's just a job.

So let's give them what they want.
Do you remember?

We're really going to sing, right?

If not now, then on the second album.

- Frank don't you...
- Milli Vanilli is bigger than Frank.

And the bigger it will get

the more power we will both have.

We can reach Milli Vanilli.

Step by step.

Hey guys!
Hey.

I just got off the phone with Benny.
He's super excited.

You really were awesome at Club MTV.

It is said that even Michael
Jackson is your hay.

Wow, this is...

We want to meet him.
Maybe we can sing a duet?

Or... a trio?

- Yes.
- Yes.

Let's not rush.

But Benny says he's in now
negotiations for a big tournament.

- That sounds great, Todd.
- What kind of tournament?

Live concerts and stuff.

- And we sing live, right?
- Yes.

At least, I think so.
I have no idea.

I put some food in the fridge.

The cleaning lady is coming
Tuesdays and Fridays from 9 am.

And at 3 you have a meeting
with a diction teacher.

We don't need that.

So it was decided.
So...

Okay, so what do we need?
a good diction teacher.

We want to keep singing every day.

Yes, there are many in L.A.

And we also want a Ferrari.

Today?

Come on!

First some warming C, please.

Good. Now D.

You sound a little different than what's on the record.

As it happens to many.

Is there room for better?

Yes.

But first I want to tell you how much
happy what joy I feel working with you.

It's just a few superstars,
who want to become even better.

You are so cool.

- What does cool mean, Ricardo?
- It means you are very cool...

extremely cool,

fantastic,

extraordinary,

Cool.

- Cool.
- I like.

Cool.

Frank.

No, still on 2.

Not.

We understood that eh
promote a single,

not that he's moving to LA.

We must be here
we produce the album here.

- You don't need them for that.
- Yes of course!

That begs the question
Arista, in the press, everywhere.

And alone in Hollywood
with those hyenas?

They take the butter off our bread.
We're losing control!

Do not panic.

- He must return!
- I'm talking to you!

Come on.
We go for a walk.

How to take a walk?

- That's right?
- Yes.

Not so fast.

What are you doing here?
And why are you running like that?

We live here, we jog.

- Please show me the documents.
- George!

What is that supposed to mean?

Don't you know them?

I'm sorry, Mr. Richardson.

- Leave them alone.
- Is OK.

Oh and...by the way, great game on Saturday.

I'm sorry about that...
Neighborhood patrol...

... it's a shame.
- I understand.

Not many people live
of color in the area, isn't it?

welcome to america baby
By the way, I'm Randy.

- Rob.
- Fab.

Know.

If you could only see this, mother.
We have a pool, palm trees...

Maybe you can visit us sometimes.

Have you seen our video?

That's right, it's not my voice.

Everything is just for
show as with the hair.

I will sing, I promise.

Let's start!

Come on!

I'll call you back later, mom.

Fab, come here, man.

Come on bro.

So he is

Hello. Hi.

Come on, kiss her, you're French after all.

He is Randy.

Want to say hello to Jenny and Melissa too?
Say hi!

And Ricardo!
Hey, Ricardo's here too!

Hi?

hey good morning
Do you know where Rob and Fab are?

Well...

Slave?

Fab?

Do you know where Rob and Fab are?

I think he had to fly to Germany
this morning or something?

OK?

I'm Todd, I'm the manager.

Something like that.

I'm Lisa, your diction teacher.

Something like that.

Why do you have so many faces
grumpy guys?

The new single is almost ready.

The album is almost finished.
It's going very well.

Sit down.

If you don't want us to sing,
then why are we here?

- Shall we eat potato soup?
- Guys.

You are here because
this is our headquarters.

you should be here
with us.

Not,

America is our home now.

You should visit us there.

By the way, Frank, I might
we are doing big tours there soon.

What the?

Come on, Fab, let's go.

Wait, what kind of tournament?
To sing live?

- Don't even think about it.
- Frank.

- You're high?
- We lie to our friends.

- Our families. It's over.
- Fab.

Foreigners will not understand
never this business.

We want to be more involved in music.

- You can not.
- Easy, Frank.

If we don't sing, we don't
let's go further.

But we have a contract.

I do something on contract!

You can do something on the contract
but you'll have to give it to me

back all the money from
advance you spent.

Renting a Villa in Beverly Hills?
Do you drive a sports car?

Last month you had room service
for 27 people in Chatât...

Ma-Ma... Cha-Cha...

Chateau Marmont.

Do you want to talk about money?
Then let's talk about money.

We are entitled to more
we are #1 in the US.

No, we are not number 1.

- We are not number 1.
- Roxette is no. 1.

I was only number 2.

Now we are number 6.

- Understand? No. 6, not number 1.
- Guys.

Calm down.

Frank, why don't we try singing.

Let's just try.

Good?

Fab is not bad.

- With that French accent.
- Work on it.

The single is due out now.
Not in 3 years.

Robert.

Aha!

Paradise.

Give them the feeling that they
we bring the voices into a mix...

Mixed.

Very...

little bit?

Okay, that's silly.

I don't remember these records.

Actually...

I don't remember singing
ever in front of Farian.

- I heard my voice in the mix after that.
- That was just in your head.

Does not matter.

One thing is certain:

I made that very clear to Frank
that we want to sing on the second album,

Otherwise it will not exist
no second album.

Looking back, I should have
let's end it right then.

But I didn't end it.

Milli Vanilli!

- Milli Vanilli.
- Milli Vanilli.

Everyone is talking about Milli Vanilli.

...overnight sensation...

- The coolest guys.
- Simply unstoppable.

They have the potential to reach
among the greatest!

A sign of the times!

What do you think of Milli Vanilli?

And they became an international phenomenon!

- Millions of albums sold!
- Here are Milli Vanilli!

- But is their hair real?
- Who knows.

From India,

New zealand...

Wow, this is a first
fan letter from South Africa.

Oh my god, look at these kids.

- I'll send ten autographs, okay?
- And some money.

Pay attention to the "ch."

- "Ch".
- We return to the language.

hey rob?

I think you should
take a look at this.

Dear Robert, I hope the letter
let this reach you personally.

My name is Andrew Harrison.

I was 27 years ago
stationed in Munich.

I had a short fling there
with a woman named Sabine,

your mother.

I don't know how serious it is
this but... do you want me to contact him?

Harrison.

Hi.

I'm Robert.

- Pilate.
- My God, Robert.

I never expected you to call me.

Now I'm agitated.

Yes.

And I.

Um...

So...

... are you in Alaska now, Andrew?
- Yes, in Anchorage.

For four years.

Robert, when I saw your video…

I was...

impressed.

Actually my wife Sheila saw it first.
She told me you are from Munich

and that you were adopted.

- You are married?
- Yes.

We also have a son, his name is Tony.
He is 18 years old.

A very intelligent boy.

And he likes your music.

tell me how is it

I mean, are you happy?
Are you living a good life?

From this moment
my father and me

we talked every week.

Sometimes every day.

You actually took less medicine.

We have a juicer, remember?

I worked hard: at singing,

at our stage show.

We really thought this one
illusion could become reality.

For a while it was
like a walk into the sunset.

But we are headed for disaster.

Hello?

Frankie! I'm glad I have
given by you I'm Markus.

- Who?
- Markus Klein.

I wanted to congratulate you. Starting from
today, we are #1 in the US,

with "Baby don't forget my number".

We're on top of the world, Franky!
We are the hammer!

We must celebrate this!

We? Uh...

How come?
Why us?

Yes?
Markus, listen:

And my cleaning lady is a success
bigger than you, even chickens…

- ... my neighbour...
- Franky.

- Bye!
- Of...

God

WE ARE ON PLACE ONE!
I'm really proud of...

US

without you i would be...

I would never have made it.

Know.

Now the following singles must
to reach number 1. And the album.

Call John and Brad.
We call them.

We have to make music.
Come on, let's continue.

I thought we could take it too
we a break for a few days,

let's go to the mountains or something.

In the mountains, yes?
And what should I do there?

No, Milli, we have to make music.

Music, come on!

For the number one song in America.

On Milli Vanilli.

This is what America is all about.

Everyone!

And there's more fabulous news.

Club MTV's first tour.

Paula Abdul,

Ton Place,

and you two darlings.

We are talking about 17 American cities.

And they are not small concerts,

there are stadiums, arenas!

And it's not just Frank who will win all the money.

You will win.

And you, right?

What do you guys think?

50,000 people
they will call your name.

You will love this.

That sounds great, Benny.

Isn't that right, Fab?

Of course, absolutely.

Fabulous, Fab.

And something else,
Clive and me

I found your new single.

It's called "Blame it on the Rain".
Dianne Warren, she's wonderful.

A true inspiration.

She wrote the song and it was
written for whitney houston,

but we decided to give it to you.

Yes.

it's crazy
Think about this.

They give us the song,
because we are bigger

bigger than Whitney!

- How cool.
- It's just a song, no rap.

Now you're getting jealous
because I'm the soloist.

What do you say there?
The soloist is in Germany.

Yes.

UNDERSTANDING THE MUSIC INDUSTRY

This is our new song.
Not bad, is it?

Dad we're going on tour next month
I invite you and your family.

sounds fantastic
I can not wait.

But Rob,

I wanted to ask you something else,

something unpleasant.

- What happened?
- You know, Tony...

has good prospects at
a very prestigious college.

But tuition fees,
God...

Do you think you can help us a little too, son?

How much you need?

Something like a
60,000 would be very good.

Uh...

You want $60,000 from me?

Of course only as a loan.

Robert,
you have my word,

that we will give you your money back.

Slave?

Slave?

Are you still there?

Rob...

I didn't mean to make you feel embarrassed.
Any amount would help.

Maybe half...

30,000...

or 25,000...

What was the base called then?
who were you stationed in munich?

Um...

God, that was it
so long ago.

Was it the one by the river?

or the one from the direction of the mountains?

The one by the river.

Definitely the one by the river.

There is only one
American base in Munich.

And it's not near any rivers.

So fuck it!

"Father".

Slave?

We all wanted it to be true.

You don't know the feeling.

don't know where you come from

I'm a nobody.

Not true.

You don't need a father to be somebody.

You alone are worth so much.

No one has as much courage as you.

And you make things happen.
Just look where we are.

My father left us

when I was young.

I know how you feel too.

At least a little.

ok guys

So here I go
microphones from time to time,

so you can
talk to the audience.

It's embarrassing.

Oh no, many people use
playback or semi playback.

It has been normal for a long time.
Have a great show!

You heard?
Everyone is pretending.

But with their own voices.
It's not the same.

It really isn't?

michigan how are you feeling

You are ready for
the next wildlings?

Here is your favorite ice cream flavor.

Applause for Milli Vanilli!

- It can not be true.
- But it is true.

Let's show them we deserve to be here.

- I love you brother.
- I love you too.

One two three four,

five six,

seven, eight!

how are you feeling michigan

Are you ready?

You couldn't hear the songs, because
that 50,000 people screamed.

An absolutely incredible atmosphere.

We felt like gods.

These sandwiches suck!

What is that supposed to mean?

where's my sushi

Hello?

I asked you something!
Are you deaf?

Hey, hey, hey, one more
fantastic show guys!

Wow, look at you!

God it was magical
electrifying, simply brilliant.

I have never seen a show before
so successful from Prince onwards.

Then why don't we have
no damn sushi?

I have no idea.
Todd?

excuse me
I need to talk to Rob and Fab.

- Single.
- What do you want?

- Just say it.
- What was that tonight?

Are you screaming "We want some pussy!"?

You're not gangsta rappers.

You know there are also children
ten years old watching.

Gary.

You should sell
vacuum cleaners or something like that.

I have been organizing tournaments for 15 years and not
this has never happened to me.

You're always late, drunk, high,
steal all the women's hits…

- complained Paula Abdul.
- Gary.

I know you mean well,

but let's think for a moment

We can all lead a life
wonderful and happy now

because of the hard work done
by Rob and Fab in their shows

night after night.

So let's think about it
wait for these people too, okay?

Good?

And now go get some sushi.

What the hell, Todd, you said that
this interview is going to be positive!

Rob even said he contributes to
music history more like elvis?

Like Bob Dylan?

Like the damn Beatles?

Maybe it was something
misunderstood i don't know

Why do you let them go?
interviews when high?

- Well, they're always high.
- This has to stop.

Then don't leave them
to talk to reporters.

And the Today show and
Good Morning America?

I said no, Todd!
Do you really not understand this?

Yes, but how can I?
to do my job, if...

I don't want to speak in public anymore.

Not at all.

Now give me Rob.

He needs to rest.
Last night was a little...

... wild.

Come on!

MILLI VANILLI'S TAPE HAS DONE
STUCK AT THE BRISTOL CONCERT

It's only in the local paper, it hasn't come out yet
nothing in the major papers so...

do not panic,

I guess.

that maybe we should go out
in public and let's admit it.

Let's get clean.

Let's do a press conference.

Let's tell them everything.

Let's tell them the truth.

You should think
very good at that.

Here's something positive: Nike is planning
to pull out Milli Vanilli sneakers.

With laces like your hair.

- This is really cool!
- God!

You have been nominated.

for a Grammy.
They just made the announcement on the radio.

Soul II Soul, Neneh Cherry,

Ton Place and...

Milli Vanilli!

It was conceived as a German project.

One single in Germany.

Now we are talking about three
number 1 hits in the States,

a number 1 album worldwide
and a Grammy nomination.

You will not win.

You know it has to be there
to be played live, yes?

At the Grammy Awards
everyone sings live.

You realize that, right?

Know something?
It's going to be really fun.

I want to see this.

I think you should be
proud of your achievements.

I am.

How proud should we be if…

we have to go into the studio
through the damn back door

while those idiots entertain themselves with
Quincy Jones and make it to the Grammy Awards?

Brad, you just bought a house.

With an apple.

Now you can bake your most
good apple pies, isn't it?

I mean Frank brought you
you all almost create this

incredible work of art.

It's great for everyone.

It is not like that?

Andrea and I are them
thankful for that...

- ... but it's not just about money.
- It's about music.

And the music was just what it was
nominated for a Grammy.

So let's celebrate it!

How long does this have to go on?

Frank?

When will it be enough?

Frank?

Frank?

Damn Grammy Awards.

We knew we didn't deserve to win.

I felt it wasn't right.

So we made a plan.

Everyone needs to sing live at
The Grammys, so let's do this.

Our moment of truth.

We were ready to play live,
No matter the consequences.

So guys...

it will use playback.

What the?

It will come with the tape.

What do you want to say?

- Everyone has to sing live here.
- Yes.

They will make an exception for you guys.

That was decided.

Who the hell thinks they can decide
without even talking to us?

And if we decide
shall we not go on stage?

Fab...

There are 50 million people,

which awaits you in
in front of the TV, and o

room full of the most
big superstars of the world.

It is the biggest scene of
that you will have a part in your life.

Therefore?

And for the most
good new artist we have...

Milli Vanilli.

Here we are again.

and we immediately start the discussions
about yesterday's Grammy Awards.

- Are you in touch with us, Kendra?
- Sure, I was happy for Miles Davis.

And for "Best new artist" I opt for
Soul II Soul, Neneh Cherry or Tone Loc.

Don't like Milli Vanilli?
With that charming accent of theirs.

They are fake. You know the rumors again
yesterday they didn't even play live.

For the first time in the history of the awards
The Grammys allowed them to use playback.

But to no one in the industry
he doesn't seem to care.

Of course, that's it
while the money is flowing...

Stop listening to these morons.

Come on!

You won the damn prize!

You are winners!

It is not like that?

So I had a chat with Clive
and we have a fabulous idea.

We think you should
leave the States for a while.

To travel the world.

I would really like a vacation.

No, it's about
a world tour.

No other bands.

Just you two beauties.

And we are talking about huge stages: the Stadium
Wembley, outdoor concerts,

100,000 spectators,
this is what we're talking about.

We only go on tour
if we can play live benny.

Do you understand?

Um, the technical details...

No, we're not going.

We play live, or we don't tour at all.

From now on only
we make the decisions, benny.

And no one else.

A world tour?
Have you gone completely insane?

You can't play live on
Wembley will be a disaster.

What do you know about how we sing?
You never gave us a chance.

And we're not talking about Wembley
damn it, damn it.

Maybe you should
we start with smaller stadiums.

But the point is:
we can sing!

Understand that now after
Grammys and after all that,

we have to be extremely careful.
We must not expose ourselves too much.

- Do you understand?
- Stop the lies, okay?

This tournament will be called
"Tournament of Truth".

God!

Arista and Benny are on the side
ours and they want what we want too.

I understand?

They can't even use the name
"Milli Vanilli" without my permission!

I am the producer!
Do you understand?

If you want a second album, you will
just be with our true voices.

And if you don't want that, you can
that we should go out in public

and tell all about this lie?

You are prohibited from further use

brand name "Milli Vanilli"
for future tournaments. "

"For each case of violation,
impose a fine of 100,000 German marks. "

Damn it...

... first of all the negotiations
they failed completely...

Your blackmail attempt...

... unprofessional.

NO WORLD TOUR WITHOUT HIS PERMISSION

It blocks them and us
call non-professionals.

Guys, I'm calling you for the fifth time.

We have to talk.
Just the four of us.

No Arista, Benny
and their lawyers.

I have booked a flight for you.

call me...

"300,000 dollars
for TV appearances..."

... income from tours and music

I go straight to them...

That's a red line!

Don't give in.

They want more money,
they want to tour...

and on the next album to compose
the songs and sing them themselves.

Yes.

They called from The Washington Post.

They have some questions.

Book me a flight to New York.

Good day everyone, name
mine is frank farian

I would like to announce, that Robert
Pilatus and Fabrice Morvan

they didn't sing even one
single note on their albums.

Kio, my friend, how are you?

They didn't even sing a solo,

not even as a background voice.

They didn't sing anything.
They only moved their lips.

The cat is out of the bag.

Yes?

The cat is outside.

What cat, Kio?
We don't have a cat.

For me that was it
a kind of artistic project.

Almost a new art form.

It was an artificial band.

The owner of the restaurant
will prompt you to leave here.

I am sorry.

The music was fantastic. videos
and the performances were great.

People were happy.

Then what is the problem?

Know something?

This is better.

Forget him.

Now we're free, Fab.

We can work with other manufacturers.

We have Arista and
Benny behind us.

Like our fans.

This is not the end bro

it's just the beggining.

Yes.

Clive Davis and all of us at
Arista we are shocked and horrified

upon hearing this terrible news.

The world tour is cancelled

and none of their records
they will no longer be placed on the market.

- Thank you.
- Like everyone, I feel betrayed.

I sincerely apologize
for all the disappointed fans.

The world remains dangerous.
Saddam Hussein...

Iraq threatens
to occupy Kuwait.

We pause our report on

the Iraq war for the last
news related to the Milli Vanilli scandal.

After comparing their talent
with legends like the Beatles and Elvis...

I think this is a joke.
I think they should be kicked out.

Their manufacturer
confirmed the rumor

that the duo didn't even sing a single
note from their highly successful album.

Milli Vanilli were there at
American Music Awards and guess what?

They were very nice
They stopped my car right in front.

I sing much better than you.

No, I sing better than you!

In Phoenix, the fans threw
their album records on the street,

where they were destroyed
by a compactor cylinder.

Robert, please call me.
I am very worried.

Call me, okay?

I love you.

My son is not eating anymore
nothing and he doesn't sleep anymore.

He doesn't want to go anymore
at school or church.

Poor Jeremy here,
it is one of many

traumatized children
of this lie.

Dancer,
who can't sing.

Driven by the desire for fame...

Cheaters!

I'm afraid no one will
could protect the children from this misery.

Milli Vanilli, the fraudsters of the industry
musical. We will debate tonight...

Fab?

This is true?

Yes it is.

We need to do something.

Calm down, please calm down.

Hello everyone.

First of all I would like to clarify

that Brad Howell and John Davis

they are the real singers
of the band Milli Vanilli.

- It's getting weirder and weirder how.
- And...

They deserve this Grammy.

We put an end to this story.

Rob and Fab

they put an end to this story.

We did that.

I made a pact with the devil.

It could be said.

- What are you doing?
- What do you?

I invited some people.

We will have...

a party today

Why hide, Fab?

Come on, change your clothes.

I'll wear your jacket, okay?

You know what? Don't get carried away
in all this negativity.

We're still stars.

Let's show it.

Good?

Come on, get dressed!

I love you brother more than anything.
I really really love you.

Now let's celebrate.

I heard Lis left in
tour with New Kids On The Block.

I'll call a limo.
I'm going to the party.

Cold.

By the way, they want you to leave
the house by the end of the month.

Are you telling Rob?

He hasn't been here in a while.

I have a list of homes with prices
affordable for you guys.

Thank you, Todd.

I probably will
going back to arizona.

Maybe you should too
thinking of leaving LA.

And where should we go?
On another planet?

Okay, guys. Here's how it goes:

As you know, I am working

for several months with a lawyer.

- Taneshia, what do you want?
- I want to hear that.

Therefore.

The crux of the matter is that
Farian and Arista acted legally.

I'm not saying it was pretty, but...

it was legal.

But because now we are
IMC and ASCAP members,

we get paid for publishing rights

and I'm also working on the royalties.

How much money are we talking about?

I don't know exactly

but sold 13 million singles.
So...

Wow!

And Kevin Liles became one of the most
successful music directors so far.

They all had a great time
success in what they did.

DJ Spen, Bill, Ky,
Rodney, June, Wayne.

And the most important thing...

they still remained friends.

did you call your sister

He tries to talk to you.

Please drink this.

Thank you mom.

Robert.

I'm going to move.

Are you breaking up with me?

No, I'm not breaking up with you.

Only I won't anymore
i live with you

Yes?

Do what you want.

I told you about
this producer, maurice?

He says we can use them
the studio whenever we want.

Maurice is a drug dealer.

You've only known him for two weeks.
He doesn't have a studio, he just has a keyboard.

We can be superstars again, Fab.

I don't want to be a superstar anymore.

We can also make movies.

I have great ideas. For example, "Pop Cops".

You and me working like
undercover agents at the FBI.

Come on, stop looking
to me so seriously now.

I'm starting to think you're the one
she needs urgent therapy, not me.

Pop cops.

Pop cops.

What are you doing here, Vanilli?

Looking for Sunset Boulevard?

Frank.

I need $300,000.

- 300,000...
- A bond.

Robert was arrested.

He stole a car.
And other things.

We have to get him out.

Can't you do a project with him?

Anything.

I don't care, they sang alone.

I just love Milli Vanilli.

It was a great summer.

Yes it was.

You're going to have a hard time here.

I'll take you home.

How great, that still
do you still have my walkman

I wish dad would talk to me.

I would have explained everything to him.

- And mom.
- Robert.

They were always proud of you.

They really were.

We were all proud of you.

You can live here if you want.

- I...
- But without drugs.

I'm leaving for Sri Lanka in three months.

To heal myself.
Frank pays for it.

Then we go to Frankfurt and...

- We are making a new project.
- Robert, what are you saying there?

You are not a singer.
You were never a singer.

Put an end to this crap
fuck the music. Finish with Farian!

You don't need it.

Hey.

You can lead a completely normal life.

A completely normal life.

Good.

Flight tickets.

Don't lose them, okay?

A bit of reading
about Sri Lanka.

It's going to be great.

And here's some cash.

Frank greets you.

Work on a new song for yourself.

Yes.

See you soon.

We interrupt
for breaking news from Germany.

A former pop star
known for his songs,

Robert Pilate was found dead
Friday in a hotel room.

The cause of death was not
yet to be officially revealed,

but it is suspected that it would be the case
of a cocktail of alcohol and drugs.

Pilate had fought a long battle with
drug and alcohol addiction.

At the moment of death
he was only 33 years old.

German police...

I'm sorry bro.

I couldn't be there with you.

I tried for a long time.

My sister and I insisted
to do therapy but you didn't want to.

So I had to go
from you, to save myself.

I had to start over.

You gave everything.

I don't even know if it's true.

It's not your fault, Fab.

It's not your fault, Fab.

First...

i would like to sing a
song for my brother

For Robert.

I like your voice.

I'm finally playing live.

With the stadiums full?

I think not this movie
it had to end like this.

Let's give them what they want.

For the last time.
