Well, why don't you let me
get my people
174
00:07:35,927 --> 00:07:38,194
to run these numbers by you,
and you'll see the fit.
175
00:07:38,195 --> 00:07:40,697
Why waste time?
176
00:07:40,698 --> 00:07:42,933
- Pardon?
- Look. (CHUCKLES)
177
00:07:42,934 --> 00:07:45,168
You already know how
our demographics mesh up.
178
00:07:45,169 --> 00:07:47,737
Otherwise you wouldn't be here.
179
00:07:47,738 --> 00:07:49,306
Now, if you would like
to negotiate how much
180
00:07:49,307 --> 00:07:52,442
we're going to sell XStream
to you for, then let's talk.
181
00:07:52,443 --> 00:07:54,744
But don't pretend
like you don't want this deal.
182
00:07:54,745 --> 00:07:57,747
You and the whole damn world
knows that Empire is the king
183
00:07:57,748 --> 00:07:59,449
of cutting-edge entertainment,
184
00:07:59,450 --> 00:08:02,819
and that's exactly
what you want for your company.
185
00:08:02,820 --> 00:08:05,121
It's true.
186
00:08:05,122 --> 00:08:07,824
Hell yeah, it's true.
So are you in or out?
187
00:08:09,460 --> 00:08:11,795
Yes?
188
00:08:14,765 --> 00:08:16,333
This is gonna be fun.
189
00:08:16,334 --> 00:08:20,303
Hell yeah, it's gonna be fun. (LAUGHS)
190
00:08:20,304 --> 00:08:22,709
- EDDIE: There he is.
- KELLY: Welcome back to the game, Eddie.
191
00:08:22,710 --> 00:08:24,574
EDDIE: I'll run Kelly
through some details.
192
00:08:24,575 --> 00:08:25,909
- Lucious. It was a pleasure.
- My man.
193
00:08:25,910 --> 00:08:29,446
- I know.
- Sounds good, boss.
194
00:08:29,447 --> 00:08:32,082
- Thank you.
- Thank you very much.
195
00:08:32,083 --> 00:08:35,485
Are you sure we can pull this
off without the Lyons' drama?
196
00:08:35,486 --> 00:08:39,089
Nothing to worry about.
That's all behind them.
197
00:08:44,562 --> 00:08:46,162
I appreciate you
bringing me home, man,
198
00:08:46,163 --> 00:08:47,797
but don't you have rehearsal
for the showcase?
199
00:08:47,798 --> 00:08:49,799
(CHUCKLES) Yes, I do.
200
00:08:49,800 --> 00:08:52,502
However, more importantly,
201
00:08:52,503 --> 00:08:53,803
I have only one big brother.
202
00:08:53,804 --> 00:08:56,339
So... welcome home.
203
00:09:09,587 --> 00:09:13,089
This was the last place I saw Pamela.
204
00:09:14,258 --> 00:09:17,527
She was so damn real.
205
00:09:17,528 --> 00:09:19,596
Hmm.
206
00:09:21,032 --> 00:09:23,466
EDDIE: If this deal with Kelly Patel's
207
00:09:23,467 --> 00:09:26,102
gonna go through, we're
gonna have to be squeaky clean.
208
00:09:26,103 --> 00:09:29,339
- Uh-huh.
- No scandals, no... no bad press.
209
00:09:29,340 --> 00:09:30,974
What bad press?
210
00:09:30,975 --> 00:09:32,942
Come on, brother. Your kidnapping,
211
00:09:32,943 --> 00:09:35,011
- Hakeem's messy custody trial...
- Not to mention
212
00:09:35,012 --> 00:09:37,180
Jamal beating up his ex
and then killing Angelo.
213
00:09:37,181 --> 00:09:39,582
- All right, all right, all right.
- PORSHA: Hey.
214
00:09:39,583 --> 00:09:41,951
I got some bad news,
and it ain't looking good.
215
00:09:41,952 --> 00:09:45,321
Oh, God. Every time Porsha
comes in here with that tablet,
216
00:09:45,322 --> 00:09:47,891
something done went wrong.
What is it now?
217
00:09:47,892 --> 00:09:50,960
My cousin works for TMI and got
ahold of a teaser clip of TBD.
218
00:09:50,961 --> 00:09:51,961
Who?
219
00:09:51,962 --> 00:09:53,997
The Three Black Divas.
220
00:09:53,998 --> 00:09:56,933
LUCIOUS: Wait a minute,
wait a minute, I dropped them
221
00:09:56,934 --> 00:09:58,068
from the label years ago.
222
00:09:58,069 --> 00:09:59,502
The full interview go live tomorrow,
223
00:09:59,503 --> 00:10:01,638
and it ain't lookin' pretty.
224
00:10:01,639 --> 00:10:04,007
BROOKE: TBD was one
of Empire's first groups.
225
00:10:04,008 --> 00:10:06,910
I mean, Lucious even gave us our name.
226
00:10:06,911 --> 00:10:10,246
So when we heard about Cookie
Lyons' 20 For 20 project,
227
00:10:10,247 --> 00:10:12,082
we thought we would get a call,
228
00:10:12,083 --> 00:10:13,650
but clearly, she doesn't understand
229
00:10:13,651 --> 00:10:15,852
how important we are
to Empire's history.
230
00:10:15,853 --> 00:10:18,388
TASHA: That's 'cause while
we were climbing the charts,
231
00:10:18,389 --> 00:10:20,523
she was somewhere
making license plates.
232
00:10:20,524 --> 00:10:22,592
- Wow.
- DENISE: And her man
233
00:10:22,593 --> 00:10:24,894
- was dipping his pen in company ink,
- Okay.
234
00:10:24,895 --> 00:10:26,596
- so to speak.
- TASHA: Listen, Cookie ain't talkin'
235
00:10:26,597 --> 00:10:29,199
- about the Empire sweatshop,
- DENISE: Right.
236
00:10:29,200 --> 00:10:30,600
where they locked up young musicians
237
00:10:30,601 --> 00:10:32,569
- until they produced a banger.
- Mm-hmm.
238
00:10:32,570 --> 00:10:35,638
So we're announcing our reunion album.
239
00:10:35,639 --> 00:10:37,440
It's gonna spill all the tea
240
00:10:37,441 --> 00:10:39,776
- on Empire.
- And any label
241
00:10:39,777 --> 00:10:41,911
that wants the reunion release
242
00:10:41,912 --> 00:10:44,114
can buy it... for the right price.
243
00:10:44,115 --> 00:10:45,548
EDDIE: Empire sweatshops.
244
00:10:45,549 --> 00:10:47,083
If this interview drops,
245
00:10:47,084 --> 00:10:48,585
Kelly Patel's gonna go bye-bye,
246
00:10:48,586 --> 00:10:50,286
and this whole deal's gonna be dead.
247
00:10:50,287 --> 00:10:51,354
No, I'm gonna fix this...
248
00:10:51,355 --> 00:10:52,589
No, no, no, no, no.
249
00:10:52,590 --> 00:10:54,124
I'll fix this.
250
00:10:54,125 --> 00:10:56,126
Becky, Porsha, come with me.
251
00:10:56,127 --> 00:10:57,460
BECKY: All right.
252
00:10:59,130 --> 00:11:02,266
- (EXHALES) Oh, God.
- We got to get this under control.
253
00:11:07,057 --> 00:11:09,316

Oh, girl, they need more
than new material, honey.

00:12:34,202 --> 00:12:36,036
- They need some new wardrobe.
- Mm-hmm.

Welcome to Cord's grand opening.
295
00:12:48,216 --> 00:12:50,784
We got some free gift bags for you.

00:12:50,785 --> 00:12:52,386

00:12:54,089 --> 00:12:56,156
Thank you so much.

00:12:56,157 --> 00:12:58,659
Welcome to Cord's. Welcome to...
300
00:13:00,695 --> 00:13:02,362
Uh-uh. Don't act like
you don't know me.
301
00:13:02,363 --> 00:13:06,066
Not with my name all up in
your mouth in the interviews.
302
00:13:06,067 --> 00:13:07,901
Anything you have to say to us,
take it up with our publicist.
303
00:13:07,902 --> 00:13:09,403
Girl, you're singing in a damn mall.
304
00:13:09,404 --> 00:13:10,938
You can't even afford a publicist.
305
00:13:10,939 --> 00:13:14,274
Gimme that. This is for you.
306
00:13:14,275 --> 00:13:17,411
I knew it. I told you
they were gonna try to sue us.
307
00:13:17,412 --> 00:13:19,680
We are not afraid of any lawsuit.
308
00:13:19,681 --> 00:13:21,648
It's called free speech, sweetie.
309
00:13:21,649 --> 00:13:23,050
Open it, sweetie.
310
00:13:23,051 --> 00:13:25,119
(GASPS)
311
00:13:25,120 --> 00:13:28,055
Remember those? That's a contract.
312
00:13:28,056 --> 00:13:29,556
For your reunion album.
313
00:13:29,557 --> 00:13:30,724
What makes you think we want to...
314
00:13:30,725 --> 00:13:31,825
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
315
00:13:31,826 --> 00:13:33,427
I gotta hear this.
316
00:13:33,428 --> 00:13:35,863
Well, see, underneath
all of that anger of yours,
317
00:13:35,864 --> 00:13:37,231
I see a comeback.
318
00:13:37,232 --> 00:13:40,033
- (INHALES, SIGHS)
- A really big comeback.
319
00:13:40,034 --> 00:13:42,569
Those are the best terms
you gonna find anywhere.
320
00:13:42,570 --> 00:13:43,937
One condition, though...
321
00:13:43,938 --> 00:13:46,840
snatch that interview before it airs.
322
00:13:48,409 --> 00:13:49,610
Okay, guess I'll see you
in the studio.
323
00:13:49,611 --> 00:13:51,445
Uh-uh-uh-uh.
324
00:13:51,446 --> 00:13:53,514
I have a condition of my own.
325
00:13:53,515 --> 00:13:55,682
Is it contagious?
326
00:13:55,683 --> 00:13:57,818
(CHUCKLES)
327
00:13:57,819 --> 00:14:01,088
We need an apology from Lucious.
328
00:14:01,089 --> 00:14:03,390
He knows what for.
329
00:14:03,391 --> 00:14:06,460
Get us that and
you got yourself a deal.
330
00:14:06,461 --> 00:14:09,196
We'll be in touch.
331
00:14:11,032 --> 00:14:12,933
(SIGHS)
332
00:14:12,934 --> 00:14:14,801
Come on, let's get ready
for the second set.
333
00:14:17,505 --> 00:14:18,505
Hey, hey, hey.
334
00:14:18,506 --> 00:14:20,140
What's up, Uncle Eddie?
335
00:14:23,811 --> 00:14:26,113
- Working on something?
- Yeah.
336
00:14:26,114 --> 00:14:29,249
We'll have to knock the socks
off of this Kelly Patel
337
00:14:29,250 --> 00:14:31,018
at the showcase tomorrow,
so I was thinking about
338
00:14:31,019 --> 00:14:33,120
doing something new... maybe
previewing one of my new songs.
339
00:14:33,121 --> 00:14:34,821
What you think?
340
00:14:34,822 --> 00:14:37,157
Jamal, Kelly's not an artist.
341
00:14:37,158 --> 00:14:40,827
He can be, you know,
just a little bit uptight.
342
00:14:40,828 --> 00:14:42,529
You understand?
343
00:14:42,530 --> 00:14:45,098
It's not some crazy song.
What's the problem?
344
00:14:45,099 --> 00:14:47,568
Given your involvement with the, uh...
345
00:14:47,569 --> 00:14:49,169

telling you anymore.

any comfort here.

877
00:39:42,356 --> 00:39:45,791
He almost killed you,
and that's why I'm so angry.
878
00:39:45,792 --> 00:39:48,527
You don't think
I'm angry, Lucious? Huh?
879
00:39:48,528 --> 00:39:52,331
I mean, if this is true,
880
00:39:52,332 --> 00:39:55,034
then I'm-I'm just
as heartbroken as you.
881
00:39:55,035 --> 00:39:56,402
Wait, wait, "If"?
882
00:39:56,403 --> 00:39:58,904
He admitted it.
883
00:39:58,905 --> 00:40:01,407
Don't you know, for the rest
of my life, every step I take,
884
00:40:01,408 --> 00:40:05,011
I'm reminded that my...
885
00:40:05,012 --> 00:40:08,114
my boy wanted me dead.
886
00:40:17,190 --> 00:40:18,824
All right, man, keep it 100.
887
00:40:18,825 --> 00:40:22,762
Tell us those pills
ain't out your system yet.
888
00:40:22,763 --> 00:40:26,032
What, so he imagined this, too,
like his girlfriend?
889
00:40:26,033 --> 00:40:28,067
No, it's real.
890
00:40:29,569 --> 00:40:32,872
I did it.
891
00:40:34,741 --> 00:40:36,275
HAKEEM: We grew up in a violent crib.
892
00:40:36,276 --> 00:40:38,377
Dad was shady as hell.
893
00:40:38,378 --> 00:40:39,645
Oh, so Lucious made him do it?
894
00:40:39,646 --> 00:40:41,013
Look, that's not what I'm saying.
895
00:40:41,014 --> 00:40:42,682
I'm just trying to make sense
of this mess.
896
00:40:42,683 --> 00:40:45,351
You know, one time,
Lucious put a gun in my hand...
897
00:40:45,352 --> 00:40:46,652
(SCOFFS)
898
00:40:46,653 --> 00:40:48,721
- ...and told me to shoot him.
- You know what, man?
899
00:40:48,722 --> 00:40:51,524
We could sit here all day
sharing evil Lucious stories.
900
00:40:51,525 --> 00:40:53,693
The son of a bitch threw me
in a trash can when I was a kid.
901
00:40:53,694 --> 00:40:55,094
He made me marry a girl...
blah, blah, blah.
902
00:40:55,095 --> 00:40:56,562
Put it in a damn song.
903
00:40:56,563 --> 00:40:58,964
I went to sleep a thousand
and one nights dreaming
904
00:40:58,965 --> 00:41:01,801
about putting a cap in his ass,
but I didn't.
905
00:41:01,802 --> 00:41:03,969
You want to know why? Because
you don't kill your father!
906
00:41:03,970 --> 00:41:05,938
Okay.
907
00:41:05,939 --> 00:41:09,909
Look, man, if I could-if I could
take it all back,
908
00:41:09,910 --> 00:41:12,111
and-and give up my leg for his,
909
00:41:12,112 --> 00:41:15,181
give up my life for his,
I'd do it... I can't!
910
00:41:18,352 --> 00:41:20,486
At least I told him.
911
00:41:23,390 --> 00:41:25,591
I told him.
912
00:41:25,592 --> 00:41:27,426
Yeah, at least.
913
00:41:27,427 --> 00:41:30,996
I guess you should just feel
all better about yourself now.
914
00:41:30,997 --> 00:41:32,698
I'm out of here.
915
00:41:35,302 --> 00:41:36,502
HAKEEM: I don't know who you are,
916
00:41:36,503 --> 00:41:39,171
or what you turned into,
917
00:41:39,172 --> 00:41:41,674
but somebody stole our big brother.
918
00:41:47,948 --> 00:41:49,849
LUCIOUS: I don't know
what to do with him.
919
00:41:49,850 --> 00:41:53,819
If you love me like you say
you do, Lucious, just...
920
00:41:53,820 --> 00:41:56,622
please, don't hurt him.
921
00:41:56,623 --> 00:41:59,592
I'm just so disappointed
because I don't...
922
00:41:59,593 --> 00:42:02,094
I don't know our boy.
923
00:42:02,095 --> 00:42:03,262
Who is he?
924
00:42:03,263 --> 00:42:04,697
Well, don't act like
925
00:42:04,698 --> 00:42:07,433
we don't have blood on our hands.
926
00:42:07,434 --> 00:42:10,002
Hey, this ain't on us.
927
00:42:10,003 --> 00:42:12,304
We had nothing to do with this.
928
00:42:12,305 --> 00:42:14,273
Are you sure? Huh?
929
00:42:14,274 --> 00:42:16,208
Because you pitted your sons
against each other
930
00:42:16,209 --> 00:42:18,043
when you thought you was gonna die.
931
00:42:18,044 --> 00:42:20,646
Yeah, but that was then, I mean,
and we worked past that, babe,
932
00:42:20,647 --> 00:42:22,648
we... we were gonna
be a family, and now,
933
00:42:22,649 --> 00:42:24,650
how in the hell
can we ever even imagine
934
00:42:24,651 --> 00:42:26,719
being a family again?
935
00:42:26,720 --> 00:42:28,654
He confessed, Lucious.
936
00:42:28,655 --> 00:42:30,322
Okay? That's a start.
937
00:42:30,323 --> 00:42:33,325
Maybe he-he's coming back
to his right mind.
938
00:42:33,326 --> 00:42:34,827
No, I think you living
in a fantasy, hon.
939
00:42:34,828 --> 00:42:37,396
My baby, my son...
940
00:42:37,397 --> 00:42:39,498
he's not capable...
941
00:42:39,499 --> 00:42:40,900
Lucious...
942
00:42:40,901 --> 00:42:42,535
Hey, you... Hey, hey.
943
00:42:42,536 --> 00:42:44,036
Hey. Hey, hey, hey.
944
00:42:44,037 --> 00:42:45,838
Hey, baby, you okay?
Come here, come here.
945
00:42:45,839 --> 00:42:48,441
Come on, come on.
Are you okay? What's wrong?
946
00:42:48,442 --> 00:42:50,743
I... c-can't catch my breath.
947
00:42:50,744 --> 00:42:52,178
Juanita!
948
00:42:52,179 --> 00:42:54,914
- Hold on.
- My arm.
949
00:42:54,915 --> 00:42:56,582
- Hello?
- 911. What's your emergency?
950
00:42:56,583 --> 00:42:58,884
Hello. My wife, uh, um,
my wife... Something's wrong.
951
00:42:58,885 --> 00:43:00,486
I need an ambulance.
952
00:43:00,487 --> 00:43:02,467
I need an ambulance.
Please send an ambulance...
953
00:43:02,735 --> 00:43:07,293
