Undercover Holiday

We're on in 30.

Ready, graphics? Ready camera?

Graphics?

You know our next act as the recent winner of Pop Star USA.

And, her new single, which keeps climbing the charts...

"Baby, My Baby, Won't You Be My Baby?"

That is a lot of baby's, right.

Please join me in welcoming the lovely...

Jaylen Rodriguez!

Thank you so much for having me.

And we're clear!

- Oh! Did it play well? - Yes.

Ah! It's always so weird when

there's no one in the audience.

Trust me, you brought down the house!

The internet is going crazy.

People who didn't even know you on Pop Star USA

sure know who you are now.

- Ah! - And, we're going on tour.

- We're going on tour! - We're going on tour!

- We're going on tour. - We're going on tour!

We're going on tour.

I got an update.

I'm getting real-time data from the record label,

and ticket sales are already up.

Oh, that's great to hear.

Imagine if we threw a tour and nobody came?

You know, this whole self-deprecating thing is

charming and all, but you got to start acting like

the star that you are.

Hey, this is all new to me. I will never be a diva, Benny.

Know how many clients I've had who've told me that?

Of course, you're the first one that I actually believe.

Hey, thanks again, for putting your trip

back a few days to do this. This is gonna pay off.

I hope so, because my family was not thrilled about that.

Yeah, well, they're gonna get over it.

Yeah, you don't know her family.

They get over nothing. Ever since we were kids.

- It's kind of their thing. - True.

You know, they know what's best,

and who am I to tell them they're wrong?

Well, you could...

- But you don't. - Okay, guys, time to go.

- Oh. - Got it?

Time to go. Get your stuff, get your stuff.

Alright.

I just got a text from the President of Blue Six Records.

They are quite pleased with you, Jay.

Oh, that's amazing!

But did they ever listen to my songs?

Look, they invested a lot in you.

That's why they rented out studio in your town

for you to rehearse over Christmas.

It's why they're flying in Tyler Huston

to teach you choreography.

Well, that sounds great, but I'm gonna take that as 'no'.

I'm just a commodity to them.

Well, a little bit, welcome to LA.

No, Benny, listen...

In my culture, music is not just music.

It is a soundtrack of our lives.

It's a part of every moment,

and I want to give the fans the music

that has been a gift to me, my whole life!

I could be a crossover artist, both markets.

Sing songs in English and Spanish.

Yes, you can, but, right now, they have

fantastic writers working on material just for you.

Like, the best of the best.

Songs with more "baby" in the title!

Exactly!

It's like working with my family.

Everyone else knows what's best for me,

but no one cares what I want or think.

Look, you are new on the scene,

and we have to go with the momentum.

You have to prove to the label that

you are a team player. Remember the plan, okay.

We're gonna get to your songs.

You just gotta be patient.

Hey! I'm not gonna let you down, Jay.

You're like the daughter I never had.

You have two daughters, Benny.

Yeah, but they're five.

You're like the grown up daughter I never had.

Aye, Benny, Benny, Benny.

You gotta teach me some of that Spanish.

What she said was nice, right?

- Thank you, sir. - Thank you.

- Oh, my. - Oh!

Hi, hi, hi!

- Hello, whoa. - No, no, no.

Abuela's gonna see this.

We'll figure how to spin it, it'll be fine, it'll be fine.

Jaylen! Who are you wearing?

Yeah, here we go.

Get out of my way!

Oh, wow.

Hey, stop the car, stop the car.

- Hold on, hold on, hold on. - What's going on?

Why is the gate open?

We closed it before we left.

- I always check. - She does.

- I really did. - She does, Benny.

Hey, hey! Beat it, guy! Go!

Get the window up. Up, window, up,

let's go, go, go, go! Go, go, go!

Are you serious?

That was invasive.

Very strange.

Benny, how does he know where I live?

This is a rental.

Paps are annoyingly resourceful.

Wow.

You think that guy...

put these here?

No, no, he knows to stay on public property.

He just wants to get a candid shot of you

shoving fruitcake in your mouth.

No, these, and that gate,

I think somebody was in here.

Like, inside?

In here.

Okay...

- Thank you. - So, good news...

There's no signs of forced entry inside.

Thank you so much.

You know...

I was in an a cappella group in college,

called Tone Def.

D-E-F.

Oh.

BA-BA-BOM BOM-BOM-BOM-BOM

IT CAME UPON A MIDNIGHT CLEAR...

That's beautiful, that's... gorgeous.

Yeah.

I was talking to your guys back there and

they're telling me that there's gonna be nothing

on the security cams, and the flowers,

the prints are only gonna be ours,

is that right?

Might I suggest a Doberman?

Thank you so much for rushing over!

You guys, you guys are great.

Of course.

I spoke to Barb, at the label.

- About this? - Yes, I had to text her.

Somebody came onto the property.

What are the odds she listened to some of

Jay's songs and wants to add them to the tour?

Not so great.

They want to get security and they got this company

they like to use.

So, okay, that's not all. Ah, the security guy,

they want him to be with you 24/7.

What does that mean?

That means that he goes home with you to...

to, where is it you're from again?

Squirrel Hollow.

That's made up, that's gotta be made up.

Benny!

You don't know my family.

I can't bring some stranger home with me for Christmas.

I can't be there to protect you.

I weigh 165 pounds soaking wet,

and if I miss another holiday for work,

I'll be divorced by Friday.

We don't want that, but I'm not asking for this.

Tell 'em my brother was an all-star wrestler

in high school. That works.

- Yes! - That'll work, that'll be fine.

This is non-negotiable.

They're gonna think the worst.

Abuelo and Abuela are from Mexico.

A little bodyguard means serious business.

It's in the contract. They get to call the shots.

Are they overreacting? Probably.

Do we want to rock the boat this close to the tour?

We do not.

Fine..

But we will get them to listen to my songs.

We will get there, but right now,

we're gonna keep you safe.

Oh, hey, oh, ah!

- What are you doing here? - What are you doing here?

You're trespassing!

Okay, just a little piece of advice,

next time you hear a suspicious sound,

maybe stay inside with your phone,

and then use it to call the police.

Thanks for the tip.

Now, who are you, huh? Paparazzi?

You're not allowed on private property.

Matt Lowis.

I was sent by Blue Six Records to protect you.

Right.

You put all your bosses in a headlock,

or am I just special?

I'm sorry... Okay?
