[electricity crackling]
[grunting]
Nice try. Now it's my turn.
[grunting]
[electricity crackling]
Ha! That doesn't even tickle!
[screaming]
[grunting]
Time we used plan B.
Okay. What's plan B?
Stop using plan A.
Gone!
At least we know there's a new
Bang Baby on the loose.
Well, we'll have to catch up with that bad boy later.
We've got a date with the greats
and we do not wanna be late.
Hey, mister, you owe me for another..
Thanks, Chet. We're here at the Dakota Dome.
Where sports' biggest superstars are hosting a black-tie dinner
celebrating tomorrow's big all-star charity football game.
'This year's number one gridiron draft pick'
'local Dakota High Grad Dule Jones'
'is being introduced right now'
'by the one and only Rashid "The Rocket" Randall.'
Ladies and gentlemen, for a rookie
Dule's got the moves of a seasoned pro
and if he ever outgrows his diapers
he might one day end up in the hall of fame.
Roll the clip, please.
[instrumental music]
[grunting]
[audience cheering]
(Rich) Man, look at him go!
You know, I was once pretty fast on the field myself.
Pops, was that back during the Jurassic age
or are we talking past lives here?
(Rashid) 'I swear, sometimes it's like'
he has springs in his feet!
Ladies and gentlemen, give it up
for Dule Jones!
[audience cheering]
[instrumental music]
[indistinct chatter]
This is so much fun, I almost forgot I was wearing a tuxedo.
Hey, when you're hanging with your football heroes
who needs to breathe?
Dule!
So the punk rookie sees a pretty face
and now he's all smiles.
What? I don't believe it!
Hawkins, is that really you?
[chuckles] It's really me, Rocket.
You two know each other?
Oh, me and Streak go way back.
Ever since college.
Pfft! Streak?
Told you I was fast.
Rocket, I'd like you to meet my daughter Sharon
'my son Virgil, and their friend Richie Foley.'
My pleasure. How do you all know Dule?
I went to high school in Dakota.
I was kind of a problem case.
Sharon was my counselor.
She really straightened me out.
Aw, you did all the hard work yourself
and now look at you!
Wait till you see me on the field tomorrow.
You know, you didn't have to treat us
to front row seats for the big game.
Mind your tongue, girl.
I'm looking forward to those seats.
It's the least I could do.
And in the meantime
Sharon, what do you say I show you my brand new custom Humvee?
(both) Great!
Have you met my backup group over here?
Ah, okay. You guys can come, too.
And it's these kind of special charity events, Chet
that show what great humanitarians
our sports figures are when..
Wait! There's Dule Jones in his custom SUV!
'This red-hot rookie signed'
'a record multi-million dollar contract last year'
'and even bigger endorsement deals this year.'
Perfect! My timing couldn't be better.
[groans]
[growls]
Whoa! This ride is trickety-tricked out!
DVD, HDTV, GPS!
Man, how'd you find room for a steering wheel?
I guess those endorsement guys really do throw money at you.
Not bad for a kid from Dakota, huh?
- Hmm. - Aren't you happy for me?
I'm impressed by what you've accomplished, Dule
not by what you can buy.
[gasps]
[tires screeching]
crash
- What was that? - Dule Jones, superstar.
Been waiting to catch up with you.
Um, didn't I see a police car a ways back on the road?
I think I saw it, too. We better go get help.
You may be a big, hard-to-get-to star these days
but now that you're worth millions, here I am.
(Static) 'If we're gonna keep meeting like this'
the least you can do is tell us your name.
[grunts]
Name's Chainlink, and when I'm done with you
you won't ever want to meet me again.
[yells]
[rumbling]
[screaming]
crash
[tires screeching]
Just like him to abandon his friends.
[grunts]
Dule!
[rumbling]
[grunting]
Hurry! Chainlink went after Dule!
- Where'd they go? - I don't know!
(Sharon) 'Virgil!'
Ah, we better get back to Sharon before she freaks out.
[instrumental music]
[groans]
[sighs]
beep beep beep
(automated voice) 'Emergency Lockdown. House is secure.'
beep
[sighs]
[groans]
crash
Thought your pitiful security could stop me?
- Whoa! - Wrong again, sports hero.
Now I'm gonna retire your jersey..
[gasps]
...with you still in it.
Nice crib, D.
Too bad all those million-dollar deals
made you forget how it all began
made you forget who you left behind.
[grunts]
Made you forget that you could hide what you are.
- But I can't. - No, Troy. I remember.
[grunting]
[growling]
[grunts]
[gasps]
[screams]
[groans]
So why you been so cold?
Why you been living large
while I gotta swipe what I can to stay alive?
What do you want from me?
The way I see it, since I can't live the life
then I deserve most of the cash.
Say 90 percent?
And if I say no?
[growls]
[grunting]
Then I tell the world you're a Bang Baby
and you'll be kicked out of pro sports.
Which sounds better, D? Ten percent or nothing?
[sighs] Okay.
But you've gotta get out of here now.
People see you with me and figure things out
there'll be nothing for either of us.
Alright. But you better not be playing me.
Here's my number. I'll be waiting.
[sighs]
(Robert) 'I still can't believe this all happened.'
It's a good thing Static and Gear showed up.
Yeah, 'cause you two weren't any help.
Hey, we called pops, didn't we?
Dule, you're okay!
I figured Chainlink was after me
so I drew him away and lost him in the canyons.
By the time I got back, you were gone.
What did this Chainlink want?
Money, I guess. Everybody knows I make a lot of it.
Rich, if Chainlink's after Dule
we can't let him out of our sight.
Way ahead of you, V.
Now wherever he goes, backpack knows.
Look, Sharon, all I wanted this weekend
was to show you my gratitude.
Let me try again. How +about breakfast tomorrow?
+- Okay. - 'Uh..'
And no, you guys +can't come along.
All we were gonna say was "have fun."
Good. I'll see you +in the morning.
vroom
+I just hope someone's watching over him.
[+indistinct chatter]
Check us out, V, hanging with Dule
protecting him wherever he goes. We're his posse!
+Uh, Rich, for us to be a posse
+he'd have to know we're following him around.
Ah! Right.
So what does that make us?
Stalkers.
+So I was already on the +all-star rookie team when--
Dule, are you being +straight with me?
Chainlink sounded +like he knew you.
+Hey, I make the sports highlight reel every week.
Everybody knows me.
It seemed like more than that.
+Is Chainlink after you '+cause you're into somethin'?
I swear. I'm keeping my nose squeaky clean.
I'm trying to make everything good.
+I.. I just want you to be proud of me.
I am.
[cellphone rings]
- Talk. - 'I expected a call by now.'
Sorry, it's my +business manager.
+Yeah, listen, about that investment property
+it's this old plant at the +corner
of 85th and Fairfield.
Why don't you meet +me there in an hour?
If things work out, you'll +get everything you deserve.
I gotta cut this short.
Come on, I'll drop you back +at your house.
That's okay. I'll take a cab.
+I need to do some shopping.
[horns blaring]
clank
[liquid bubbling]
+What is this place?
Old plant where they used to build planes.
Now I own it. We own it.
I'm thinking about building a shopping mall here.
- 'Word?' - Word.
A man's gotta make +his money make money.
[laughs] I can't wait for my cut.
+Don't have to. Here's your cut right now.
Uhh!
[grunts]
crash
+I'm totally confused. Dule's a Bang Baby too?
+If we don't jump in, he might not be anything.
[grunts]
crash
Aah!
Thought you'd get +rid of me, huh?
Let's see how you like it.
Uhh!
[groaning]
+- Are you okay? - +Stay out of this!
+[grunts]
Hey, we're on your side!
+- Dule! - +Sharon!
[grunts]
[gasps]
Sharon!
Aah!
Gotcha!
[grunts]
[laughs]
[yelling]
+[groans]
snap
splash
Aah!
crash
(Dule) He's gone!
Sharon? Are you alright?
What did you do?
I was defending myself!
You came here planning +to do away with him
and you're a Bang Baby? +Why didn't you tell me?
+Because you thought I +wasn't gangbanging anymore.
But I was.
Me and my homey Troy.
That's how we ended up +at the Big Bang together.
I didn't want to go.
Troy said we had to back up our crew.
But let me tell you, when the heat came down
it was every man for himself.
Nobody knew there was +Big Bang gas down there.
But we found out +about it the hard way.
boom
[all yelling]
(Dule) When the gas hit, +Troy got a lot more of it than I did.
[coughs]
[gasps] Troy!
+(Dule) We both changed, but he got the worst of it.
[groans]
Chainlink can't hide +what he is, but I can.
I was headed for the +pros before any of this.
It wasn't fair for me to +have to lose all of that.
+So you kept it a secret
till +Chainlink started shaking you down.
And that's why you +tried to get rid of him
'+because he was +gonna expose you.'
You missed the +whole point, Dule.
I didn't want for +you to make good.
I wanted you to be good.
[instrumental music]
[door shuts]
[crowd cheering]
(Dave) 'It's been an exciting night down here at the Dakota Dome'
'for the all-star charity game.'
'We're in the second quarter'
'fourth down on the 50-yard line'
+'and it looks like +they're going for it.'
(Rashid) +'Blue 32! Blue 32!'
(Dave) 'And there's the snap.'
'+Rocket Randall +drops back to pass.'
'Completion! And it looks +like he's going all the way.'
'Touchdown!'
[+cheering]
(Dave) 'And this all-star charity game'
'is tied going into halftime.'
[grunting]
(Jack) 'Dave, is that Dule Jones'
'making his way to +the 50-yard line?'
(+Dave) 'Looks that way, Jack, +maybe now we'll find out'
'+why he hasn't been +playing in tonight's game.'
+[crowd cheering]
+[feedback whining]
+Uh, today I hurt somebody, +several people
to hide a secret, +and that was wrong.
+'I'm here now to say I'm sorry.'
+I haven't been straight up with y'all
+and it's time to +tell you the truth.
The thing is, I'm..
(Chainlink) 'More of a +fool than I thought.'
[crowd gasps]
You've double-crossed me +for the last time, homey.
[grunts]
Now I'm gonna destroy you
+just like any other hunk of junk.
[grunts]
[crowd screaming]
Dule!
[grunting]
[gasps]
[grunting]
Your game clock's run out.
(Gear) Dude, you might wanna rethink that play.
Let's sack him! +Time for the blitz.
[grunts]
You know, I'm pretty +good at passing myself.
[electricity crackling]
+[grunts]
Okay. No more feeding spring boy any more metal.
[yelling]
Oh, that's it!
You diss my teammates
you answer to us!
Blue 32! Blue 32!
[all yelling]
+Thought you'd get +rid of me, huh?
Let's see how you like it.
[groaning]
[all grunting]
(Gear) +Hold 'em, backpack!
[grunting continues]
[players groaning]
[players yelling]
[grunts]
crackle
[gasps]
+thud
That should even the score.
Aah!
[grunting]
[Dule yells]
Game over, Chainlink.
+[crowd cheering]
- Hear that, Dule?+ - Yeah.
First time I +really deserved it.
[instrumental music]
+Sorry, Dule, I guess this means
you're out of pro sports for good.
It's okay, Mr. H.
I feel like a weight's been lifted
+that I've been carrying +for a long time.
Dule!
I'm so proud of you!
You showed courage +when it mattered most.
Something those two +would know nothing about.
+I guess the football world's +really gonna miss Dule.
Yeah. But there are hot young +players coming up all the time.
+How about you two? Let's see what you got.
Rich, do we really want to +completely embarrass ourselves
+by trying to play against the +great Rashid "Rocket" Randall?
Good point, do we really want +to totally humiliate ourselves
+by facing off against one +of the greatest players ever
to hit the gridiron?
- Yes! - Yes!
+- Here! I'll go long. - +Ha-ha! Get ready, V.
- Here it comes! - +Lateral back!
(Richie) Whoa! Almost missed it! Yeah!
(Virgil) Oh, turning on +the after-burners!
(Richie) Man, you can't catch him!
