1
00:00:00,739 --> 00:00:02,138
Previously on Empire...
2
00:00:02,139 --> 00:00:04,089
Every boy needs his father.
3
00:00:04,808 --> 00:00:05,958
No!
4
00:00:06,193 --> 00:00:07,884
You're gonna have
to offer more than money
5
00:00:07,908 --> 00:00:10,241
to get me off your ass, Mr. Cross.
6
00:00:10,255 --> 00:00:11,639
I can get you Lucious Lyon.
7
00:00:11,663 --> 00:00:13,140
I figured we'd take off
for a little bit.
8
00:00:13,164 --> 00:00:16,110
Just get on the damn helicopter!
9
00:00:16,134 --> 00:00:18,479
I got to put me first!
I got to put me first, Lucious!
10
00:00:18,503 --> 00:00:19,747
- I understand baby, I know.
- Damon Cross.
11
00:00:19,771 --> 00:00:22,121
I slept with him, okay?
12
00:00:23,975 --> 00:00:26,092
13
00:00:36,688 --> 00:00:40,267
So I see you think
you got balls now, huh?
15
00:01:14,259 --> 00:01:17,905
So happy you could join us
today, Cookie, to serve
16
00:01:17,929 --> 00:01:19,173
a little tea again.
17
00:01:19,197 --> 00:01:20,641
I love the outfit.
18
00:01:20,665 --> 00:01:22,409
Oh, well, thank you, Janice.
19
00:01:22,433 --> 00:01:24,411
You know I love
to serve the children, hey.
20
00:01:24,435 --> 00:01:25,813
How hard is it
21
00:01:25,837 --> 00:01:27,515
to look good if you're her?
Now find me a dress
22
00:01:27,539 --> 00:01:29,350
that makes my lard ass look hot,
that's something.
23
00:01:29,374 --> 00:01:31,051
You always look hot to me, Lizzie.
24
00:01:31,075 --> 00:01:32,186
Okay, you're sweet.
25
00:01:32,210 --> 00:01:34,221
Obviously blind,
maybe a little bi, but sweet.
26
00:01:34,245 --> 00:01:36,490
Let's get into today's topics.
27
00:01:36,514 --> 00:01:39,059
- Donald Trump...
- Please tell me they finally
28
00:01:39,083 --> 00:01:41,162
threw his lying ass in prison.
29
00:01:41,186 --> 00:01:42,897
Maybe he has your old bunk.
30
00:01:42,921 --> 00:01:45,733
Or your husband's. Or your son's.
31
00:01:48,526 --> 00:01:50,771
Well, wherever he is, I'm sure
you'll be lobbying to be
32
00:01:50,795 --> 00:01:52,439
his prison bitch.
33
00:01:52,463 --> 00:01:53,774
What I would really like
34
00:01:53,798 --> 00:01:55,209
to talk about is what it's like
35
00:01:55,233 --> 00:01:56,510
to work with family.
36
00:01:56,534 --> 00:01:59,213
Cookie, you have famously worked
with yours.
37
00:01:59,237 --> 00:02:00,948
What is it like to manage your boys?
38
00:02:00,972 --> 00:02:02,850
Well, you know, I can't tell
my boys too much
39
00:02:02,874 --> 00:02:05,452
of nothing nowadays, child.
They grown.
40
00:02:05,476 --> 00:02:07,922
Yeah, they flew the nest,
but they still want breakfast.
41
00:02:08,791 --> 00:02:10,891
How many of you mothers out
there can identify with that?
42
00:02:10,915 --> 00:02:13,199
I know that's right.
43
00:02:52,624 --> 00:02:55,102
We have to cast this right
or none of this is gonna work.
44
00:02:55,126 --> 00:02:57,438
And it's not gonna happen on my watch.
45
00:02:57,462 --> 00:03:00,613
This is Empire's first film.
It has to be on point.
46
00:03:01,532 --> 00:03:03,844
Uh, he's got this.
47
00:03:03,868 --> 00:03:05,479
- Charlie.
- Yo, yo. What's up?
48
00:03:05,503 --> 00:03:08,082
- A word with you, brother.
- Yes, sir.
49
00:03:08,106 --> 00:03:09,783
What do you know about this scene?
50
00:03:09,807 --> 00:03:11,619
I mean, it's about Lucious.
51
00:03:11,643 --> 00:03:14,421
Yeah, okay, well, let me tell
you what it means to me, okay?
52
00:03:14,445 --> 00:03:16,657
This is my father's first time
taking the stage.
53
00:03:16,681 --> 00:03:17,958
All right?
He was hungry. He was desperate.
54
00:03:17,982 --> 00:03:19,693
He needed this more than anything,
55
00:03:19,717 --> 00:03:23,130
but he kept that, that need,
that want, that desperation,
56
00:03:23,154 --> 00:03:24,798
he kept it underneath the surface,
57
00:03:24,822 --> 00:03:26,800
- you understand what I'm saying?
- Yeah.
58
00:03:26,824 --> 00:03:30,704
In this moment, on this stage,
he owned this place.
59
00:03:30,728 --> 00:03:33,607
And that crowd became his
because he took it.
60
00:03:33,631 --> 00:03:34,781
He took it!
61
00:03:36,801 --> 00:03:41,982
This is the moment my father
realized he was a king.
62
00:03:42,006 --> 00:03:43,050
- You got it?
- I got it.
63
00:03:43,074 --> 00:03:44,285
- Good, good.
- Thank you, man.
64
00:03:44,309 --> 00:03:46,053
- Yeah, you got it.
- I can go again?
65
00:03:46,077 --> 00:03:47,988
- Please.
- A'ight. Thank you.
66
00:03:48,012 --> 00:03:49,523
Let's do it again.
67
00:03:49,547 --> 00:03:51,625
King doesn't tell you
who he is, Charlie.
68
00:03:51,649 --> 00:03:53,460
He shows you.
69
00:04:14,759 --> 00:04:16,583
Ooh, that bitch got one more
time to come for my family
70
00:04:16,607 --> 00:04:18,819
- before I go for her throat.
- She's goading you.
71
00:04:18,843 --> 00:04:20,187
It's the only way she gets attention.
72
00:04:20,211 --> 00:04:21,922
Yeah, well, she will get
my full attention
73
00:04:21,946 --> 00:04:24,391
- with my Louboutin fully up her ass.
- You're so funny.
74
00:04:24,415 --> 00:04:25,893
Yeah, I know, but I'm not playing.
75
00:04:25,917 --> 00:04:28,429
I did 17 years, I'll shank that bitch.
76
00:04:28,453 --> 00:04:30,030
Easy, Scarface.
77
00:04:30,054 --> 00:04:32,066
Listen, your trial run
has been fantastic,
78
00:04:32,090 --> 00:04:34,268
and the producers want
to make you a permanent co-host.
79
00:04:34,292 --> 00:04:36,570
They just need to know
that Lucious and Empire
80
00:04:36,594 --> 00:04:39,039
- are finally behind you.
- That's none of their damn business, baby.
81
00:04:39,063 --> 00:04:41,075
Is it a problem? Do you
even know where Lucious is?
82
00:04:41,099 --> 00:04:43,510
I don't. Okay? But nobody
gets to tell Cookie Lyon
83
00:04:43,534 --> 00:04:44,878
- what she can and cannot do, sweetheart.
- I hate it when you
84
00:04:44,902 --> 00:04:46,413
refer to yourself in the third person.
85
00:04:46,437 --> 00:04:49,049
Well, Cookie Lyon loves it,
so get used to it.
86
00:04:49,073 --> 00:04:52,286
Look, I am proud of what
my family did with Empire.
87
00:04:52,310 --> 00:04:54,355
And Lucious is my husband.
88
00:04:54,379 --> 00:04:56,056
But you left him.
That was your choice.
89
00:04:56,080 --> 00:04:57,558
Why not make it public?
90
00:04:57,582 --> 00:05:00,094
My choice, my damn business.
Hey, babies!
91
00:05:00,118 --> 00:05:02,029
- Cookie, Cookie!
- Cookie!
92
00:05:02,053 --> 00:05:04,631
How you... A Patti pie, honey.
93
00:05:04,655 --> 00:05:06,400
I love you. I love you.
94
00:05:06,424 --> 00:05:08,202
Okay, well, if you want this gig,
95
00:05:08,226 --> 00:05:09,703
the producers need assurance
that you've moved on
96
00:05:09,727 --> 00:05:11,071
from the Coocious drama.
97
00:05:11,095 --> 00:05:13,779
I mean, really,
don't you think Lucious has?
98
00:05:15,066 --> 00:05:16,910
Love you, Cookie!
99
00:05:16,934 --> 00:05:18,312
I love you, too!
100
00:05:18,336 --> 00:05:19,613
That's the tea, baby!
101
00:05:27,111 --> 00:05:29,089
Burning the midnight oil, Mr. Lyon?
102
00:05:29,113 --> 00:05:32,226
You look mighty comfy
in your daddy's chair.
103
00:05:32,250 --> 00:05:35,662
The FBI. What an unexpected delight.
104
00:05:35,686 --> 00:05:38,065
Are you here to have
the same conversation
105
00:05:38,089 --> 00:05:40,734
we've been having
over the last six months?
106
00:05:40,758 --> 00:05:42,736
I don't know where my father is.
I haven't seen him.
107
00:05:42,760 --> 00:05:44,505
- I haven't had contact with him...
- Produce Lucious Lyon
108
00:05:44,529 --> 00:05:45,973
or we're gonna go public
109
00:05:45,997 --> 00:05:47,608
that he's wanted for money laundering.
110
00:05:47,632 --> 00:05:50,344
I have a feeling that might
dampen the excitement
111
00:05:50,368 --> 00:05:52,012
over your little Empire movie.
112
00:05:52,036 --> 00:05:54,481
And that Fox Sports deal
that you just inked.
113
00:05:54,505 --> 00:05:56,316
You've been reading the trades.
114
00:05:56,340 --> 00:05:57,518
- Mm.
- Good for you.
115
00:05:57,542 --> 00:05:59,453
You're not gonna do that, Agent Davis.
116
00:05:59,477 --> 00:06:00,921
Really? Why, why not?
117
00:06:00,945 --> 00:06:03,157
Well, because any day now,
my father's going to show up
118
00:06:03,181 --> 00:06:04,992
with evidence
that'll prove his innocence.
119
00:06:05,016 --> 00:06:07,428
And you'll end up
with egg on your face.
120
00:06:07,452 --> 00:06:10,531
Not a good look for a man or woman
121
00:06:10,555 --> 00:06:13,000
as ambitious as yourselves.
122
00:06:13,024 --> 00:06:15,936
I have a lot of work
to catch up on, so...
123
00:06:15,960 --> 00:06:17,743
you can see yourself out.
124
00:06:27,472 --> 00:06:29,450
Well, you know,
I can't tell my boys...
125
00:06:38,182 --> 00:06:42,196
Hey. Kill that mess, man,
it's killing the whole vibe.
126
00:07:44,582 --> 00:07:46,026
- I'm sick of you.
- What?
127
00:07:46,050 --> 00:07:47,928
- Bad girl. You didn't do
- What?
128
00:07:47,952 --> 00:07:50,464
A damn thing that I told you to do.
129
00:07:50,488 --> 00:07:51,698
So?
130
00:07:51,722 --> 00:07:53,767
I followed my spirit,
131
00:07:53,791 --> 00:07:55,802
and it felt divine.
132
00:07:55,826 --> 00:07:58,805
Well, it could have felt better.
133
00:07:58,829 --> 00:08:00,240
Hmm.
134
00:08:00,264 --> 00:08:02,381
Better than this?
135
00:08:08,272 --> 00:08:09,283
Come on, baby.
136
00:08:11,342 --> 00:08:12,719
I got the neck.
137
00:08:12,743 --> 00:08:15,389
- Mm-hmm.
- I got the mole.
138
00:08:15,413 --> 00:08:17,424
- That's a lot.
- Oh. People might come in.
139
00:08:17,448 --> 00:08:19,459
Well, yes, that's the idea, isn't it?
140
00:08:19,483 --> 00:08:21,495
That's the idea?
141
00:08:21,519 --> 00:08:24,264
- You just don't care, huh?
- Just let me get one bite.
142
00:08:24,288 --> 00:08:25,999
Just one.
143
00:08:26,023 --> 00:08:27,973
That's two.
144
00:08:37,152 --> 00:08:39,764
All right. We had a guest on the show.
145
00:08:39,788 --> 00:08:43,673
She swears by this; says it's
the best thing for the baby.
146
00:08:44,593 --> 00:08:47,138
Hmm. Here.
147
00:08:47,162 --> 00:08:48,540
Really, Cookie?
148
00:08:48,564 --> 00:08:50,075
Yes, really. Now, drink it up.
149
00:08:50,099 --> 00:08:51,276
- Okay.
- I know what I'm talking about.
150
00:08:51,300 --> 00:08:54,412
I'm taking care of my grandbaby. Mmm.
151
00:08:56,238 --> 00:08:57,949
- Mm.
- It's good, right?
152
00:08:57,973 --> 00:09:00,151
- Hey.
- Hey!
153
00:09:00,175 --> 00:09:01,253
Hey, you good?
154
00:09:01,277 --> 00:09:02,454
Oh.
155
00:09:02,478 --> 00:09:03,655
Well, you look good.
156
00:09:03,679 --> 00:09:04,923
How's my boy?
157
00:09:04,947 --> 00:09:07,392
Your ma is trying to poison us.
158
00:09:07,416 --> 00:09:09,894
- Oh, please.
- Ma, Teri is a nurse.
159
00:09:09,918 --> 00:09:11,062
She knows what's best for the baby.
160
00:09:11,086 --> 00:09:13,069
And I'm your mother.
I raised you, didn't I?
161
00:09:13,922 --> 00:09:14,966
Uh, look, how is your heart, baby?
162
00:09:14,990 --> 00:09:16,835
You taking your meds?
163
00:09:16,859 --> 00:09:18,470
Ah, my heart is good, Ma.
164
00:09:18,494 --> 00:09:21,740
- In fact, I'm doing better than good.
- Oh?
165
00:09:21,764 --> 00:09:23,908
I found somebody to play Lucious.
166
00:09:23,932 --> 00:09:26,811
You're still going ahead
with that stupid-ass movie?
167
00:09:26,835 --> 00:09:29,147
You ain't slick, Teri. I'm just
gonna pour you another one.
168
00:09:29,171 --> 00:09:30,482
That stupid-ass movie
169
00:09:30,506 --> 00:09:32,684
burnishes Empire's brand, Ma.
170
00:09:32,708 --> 00:09:34,653
Or it brands us as corny,
171
00:09:34,677 --> 00:09:36,421
like all them other Hollywood movies.
172
00:09:36,445 --> 00:09:38,156
I thought you were staying out
of Empire business, Ma.
173
00:09:38,180 --> 00:09:39,824
Boy, I'm bigger than Empire.
174
00:09:39,848 --> 00:09:41,926
Didn't y'all see me on that show
schooling them bitches?
175
00:09:41,950 --> 00:09:43,967
Y'all saw me on TV.
176
00:09:44,987 --> 00:09:46,197
Yes, Ma, you're a star.
177
00:09:46,221 --> 00:09:48,333
- There's only one Cookie Lyon.
- Damn right.
178
00:09:48,357 --> 00:09:51,636
- Thank God for that.
- Oh, look at Miss Teri Sunshine.
179
00:09:51,660 --> 00:09:53,271
Where you get
all that spunk from, girl?
180
00:09:53,295 --> 00:09:54,839
You better be careful 'fore I throw
181
00:09:54,863 --> 00:09:56,207
them big-ass cankles out my house.
182
00:09:56,231 --> 00:09:58,343
Oh, no, no, no.
I love your cankles, baby.
183
00:09:58,367 --> 00:09:59,878
- Oh...
- Mm, they're not too big.
184
00:09:59,902 --> 00:10:02,347
- They're too big.
- No, they're not too big.
185
00:10:02,371 --> 00:10:04,616
Girl, what the hell
186
00:10:04,640 --> 00:10:05,950
are you wearing?
187
00:10:05,974 --> 00:10:08,219
Um... Jamal and I used to wear these
188
00:10:08,243 --> 00:10:10,055
to our sleepovers all the time, so...
189
00:10:10,079 --> 00:10:12,190
No wonder that boy ran off to London.
190
00:10:12,214 --> 00:10:15,060
I thought he was running away
from Lyon drama.
191
00:10:15,084 --> 00:10:16,961
I really miss him.
192
00:10:16,985 --> 00:10:18,830
Please don't get me started.
193
00:10:18,854 --> 00:10:20,465
I miss him so much.
194
00:10:20,489 --> 00:10:23,802
Anyway, why do we need
to have this slumber party?
195
00:10:23,826 --> 00:10:27,205
Okay. I need some advice.
196
00:10:27,229 --> 00:10:28,640
- Mm-kay.
- Okay, so Giselle and I
197
00:10:28,664 --> 00:10:31,676
have a really big meeting tomorrow.
198
00:10:31,700 --> 00:10:33,878
Like, big. "Big" as in "huge."
199
00:10:33,902 --> 00:10:35,814
I'd tell you who it is,
200
00:10:35,838 --> 00:10:38,149
but I can't, so I won't.
201
00:10:38,173 --> 00:10:40,151
But I really, really need
202
00:10:40,175 --> 00:10:42,153
to nail the pitch, okay?
203
00:10:42,177 --> 00:10:44,222
- We really gotta land her.
- Oh.
204
00:10:44,246 --> 00:10:45,490
So it's a her.
205
00:10:45,514 --> 00:10:46,991
Of course it's a her.
206
00:10:47,015 --> 00:10:49,494
Our label is about women,
207
00:10:49,518 --> 00:10:51,663
for women, by women, featuring women,
208
00:10:51,687 --> 00:10:53,064
women, women, women.
209
00:10:53,088 --> 00:10:55,934
Oh, honey, that's a lot
of weave and tampons.
210
00:10:55,958 --> 00:10:56,935
It's half the budget.
211
00:10:56,959 --> 00:10:58,236
Yeah.
212
00:10:58,260 --> 00:10:59,671
Well, y'all go right on ahead
213
00:10:59,695 --> 00:11:01,206
with your vajayjay power.
214
00:11:01,230 --> 00:11:03,208
The only thing is,
215
00:11:03,232 --> 00:11:05,844
Giselle will not sign anyone
216
00:11:05,868 --> 00:11:08,380
before we get
our marquee artist, so...
217
00:11:08,404 --> 00:11:11,082
I mean, doesn't Giselle
understand that it is your job
218
00:11:11,106 --> 00:11:13,418
to go out, find the artists
and turn them into stars?
219
00:11:13,442 --> 00:11:15,186
I mean, that's what good labels do.
220
00:11:15,210 --> 00:11:18,223
Oh, look at you. You miss it?
221
00:11:18,247 --> 00:11:19,858
What?
222
00:11:19,882 --> 00:11:22,260
This. Empire, the music.
223
00:11:22,284 --> 00:11:24,229
This used to be in your blood.
224
00:11:24,253 --> 00:11:27,565
I need something new, something fresh.
225
00:11:27,589 --> 00:11:28,967
Like your talk show.
226
00:11:28,991 --> 00:11:32,604
And my community center,
among other things.
227
00:11:32,628 --> 00:11:35,039
Uh, this is time for me.
228
00:11:35,063 --> 00:11:37,442
Okay? I'm building my own brand.
229
00:11:37,466 --> 00:11:39,244
Oh, you about to be
a whole mogul out here.
230
00:11:39,268 --> 00:11:42,113
Yes. It is Cookie's time.
231
00:11:42,137 --> 00:11:44,688
Ooh, I almost forgot.
232
00:11:47,776 --> 00:11:50,388
- Potato chips?
- Yes, girl, salt and sweet.
233
00:11:50,412 --> 00:11:52,390
Isn't that Lucious's thing?
234
00:11:52,414 --> 00:11:53,730
So?
235
00:11:55,684 --> 00:11:58,062
So, you miss him.
236
00:11:58,086 --> 00:12:00,732
Look how mad you just got.
237
00:12:00,756 --> 00:12:01,833
- You miss him.
- I didn't get mad.
238
00:12:01,857 --> 00:12:03,635
No, you miss miss him.
239
00:12:03,659 --> 00:12:05,403
Do you think you guys are gonna
get back together?
240
00:12:05,427 --> 00:12:07,005
Girl, do I look like
a damn fortune tell...
241
00:12:07,029 --> 00:12:08,773
Look, uh, Becky?
242
00:12:08,797 --> 00:12:11,676
Eat this ice cream 'fore
I put your ass out my house.
243
00:12:11,700 --> 00:12:13,978
- I thought we were sharing.
- Ah-ah. Please, just...
244
00:12:14,002 --> 00:12:15,313
- The... a quiet moment, please.
- I thought we were girlfriends.
245
00:12:15,337 --> 00:12:16,748
J-Just eat-eat the ice cream.
246
00:12:23,278 --> 00:12:25,457
And we just want you to
know that we will be dedicating
247
00:12:25,481 --> 00:12:27,258
all of our time and attention to you
248
00:12:27,282 --> 00:12:29,194
as if you are our only artist.
249
00:12:29,218 --> 00:12:31,362
Ain't that what I'd be, though?
250
00:12:31,386 --> 00:12:34,599
Well, actually, you would be
treated like our first artist.
251
00:12:34,623 --> 00:12:36,434
- Ah.
- I mean, we have a vision
252
00:12:36,458 --> 00:12:38,136
for your career that nobody else has.
253
00:12:38,160 --> 00:12:41,039
My experience in brand
marketing, Becky in A&R,
254
00:12:41,063 --> 00:12:42,340
that's a killer combination.
255
00:12:42,364 --> 00:12:43,975
Yes, you're big,
256
00:12:43,999 --> 00:12:47,612
but we can make you even bigger
on multiple platforms.
257
00:12:47,636 --> 00:12:49,214
Yeah. I...
258
00:12:49,238 --> 00:12:51,683
Listen, I really like
and admire the both of you,
259
00:12:51,707 --> 00:12:53,551
so I'm-a be honest with y'all.
260
00:12:53,575 --> 00:12:54,552
- Thank you.
- I appreciate that.
261
00:12:54,576 --> 00:12:56,120
I'm not signing with Bossy.
262
00:12:56,144 --> 00:12:58,723
Y'all too small.
But I'll tell you what I can do.
263
00:12:58,747 --> 00:13:01,392
I'll let y'all leak to TMI
that we had this meeting.
264
00:13:01,416 --> 00:13:02,994
That should help
y'all out a little bit.
265
00:13:03,018 --> 00:13:05,296
- So generous of you.
- Thank you for that.
266
00:13:05,320 --> 00:13:07,732
These some nice-ass offices, though.
267
00:13:07,756 --> 00:13:10,368
Hit me up with
your designer's info, okay?
268
00:13:10,392 --> 00:13:12,070
- Okay.
- Be well.
269
00:13:12,094 --> 00:13:13,972
Bye, now.
270
00:13:16,398 --> 00:13:17,909
"Treat you like the only artist"?
271
00:13:17,933 --> 00:13:19,911
Why did it sound so good
in my head last night?
272
00:13:19,935 --> 00:13:22,080
- Were you high last night?
- No, I wasn't high...
273
00:13:22,104 --> 00:13:24,148
Yeah, but just a little bit.
274
00:13:26,174 --> 00:13:28,419
Andre, security
brought this gentleman up.
275
00:13:28,443 --> 00:13:29,687
He says that you're expecting him,
276
00:13:29,711 --> 00:13:31,795
but he's not on my calendar.
277
00:13:33,549 --> 00:13:34,726
Mouse.
278
00:13:34,750 --> 00:13:36,160
Oh, no, no. He's good, he's good.
279
00:13:36,184 --> 00:13:38,068
Maya, close that door, please.
280
00:13:39,688 --> 00:13:42,367
When the hell did you get out, boy?
281
00:13:42,391 --> 00:13:43,680
Hey, why didn't you call me?
282
00:13:43,681 --> 00:13:45,431
I tried to hit you up. I think
you must've changed your number.
283
00:13:45,432 --> 00:13:46,287
Ah.
284
00:13:46,311 --> 00:13:47,572
I been here about an hour.
They wouldn't let me up.
285
00:13:47,596 --> 00:13:49,007
Oh, I'm sorry about that, man. Listen,
286
00:13:49,031 --> 00:13:50,909
I am stoked to see you. Have a seat.
287
00:13:50,933 --> 00:13:52,610
I'm-a pour you something
to drink, man. What do you like?
288
00:13:52,634 --> 00:13:56,180
Shoot, everything. No ice.
289
00:13:56,204 --> 00:13:59,117
- So, what you got planned, man?
- Frankly, uh, I could use a job.
290
00:13:59,141 --> 00:14:02,120
You know how it is.
Or maybe you don't.
291
00:14:02,144 --> 00:14:03,555
Maybe I don't?
292
00:14:03,579 --> 00:14:05,223
You playing, boy.
293
00:14:05,247 --> 00:14:06,591
You know I know.
294
00:14:06,615 --> 00:14:09,727
And I can help you out.
295
00:14:09,751 --> 00:14:10,895
What type of job you looking for?
296
00:14:10,919 --> 00:14:11,812
All right.
297
00:14:11,813 --> 00:14:13,807
I've been thinking about
this for a long time.
298
00:14:13,808 --> 00:14:14,933
All right.
299
00:14:14,957 --> 00:14:16,734
I want something
where I can wear a suit.
300
00:14:16,758 --> 00:14:18,136
- Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah.
- I've always dreamed
301
00:14:18,160 --> 00:14:20,405
of having an office with a window.
302
00:14:20,429 --> 00:14:23,274
Maybe something here at Empire?
303
00:14:23,298 --> 00:14:24,976
Close to yours, so we can hang, huh?
304
00:14:25,000 --> 00:14:26,611
See, that's what I'm talking about.
305
00:14:26,635 --> 00:14:28,646
Let me go down there,
check out, see what's open.
306
00:14:28,670 --> 00:14:30,648
But first step is gonna have to
be, you know, you go to HR...
307
00:14:30,672 --> 00:14:34,218
Can't you just do me a solid?
I mean, you came out to this.
308
00:14:34,242 --> 00:14:35,592
I came out to nothing...
309
00:14:37,279 --> 00:14:40,196
...after staying in because of you.
310
00:14:42,985 --> 00:14:45,401
Damn right you owe me.
311
00:14:47,623 --> 00:14:49,601
I know I owe you.
312
00:14:49,625 --> 00:14:51,436
And I'm-a square you up, okay?
313
00:14:51,460 --> 00:14:54,572
Might take a day or two.
You got my word.
314
00:14:54,596 --> 00:14:56,647
Just like in the day, right?
All right. I got you.
315
00:14:56,671 --> 00:14:57,821
Yeah, man.
316
00:14:59,801 --> 00:15:02,080
I'd like to thank you all
for getting behind me
317
00:15:02,104 --> 00:15:04,782
while my father's on sabbatical,
and for stepping up
318
00:15:04,806 --> 00:15:06,784
in light of some
recent staff departures.
319
00:15:06,808 --> 00:15:08,953
Are you gonna be announcing
promotions to fill those slots?
320
00:15:08,977 --> 00:15:10,455
Absolutely. Very soon.
321
00:15:10,479 --> 00:15:11,923
Thank you very much, Porsha.
322
00:15:11,947 --> 00:15:13,691
We got some big announcements
this week.
323
00:15:13,715 --> 00:15:16,266
Empire will provide the
theme song for Fox Basketball...
324
00:15:17,352 --> 00:15:19,097
...and Charlie Dupree
325
00:15:19,121 --> 00:15:20,932
- will star as Lucious Lyon...
- All right.
326
00:15:20,956 --> 00:15:23,807
In the new Empire film.
327
00:15:25,494 --> 00:15:27,639
Thank you.
328
00:15:27,663 --> 00:15:30,775
Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
329
00:15:37,706 --> 00:15:39,455
Hey, Andre.
330
00:15:42,811 --> 00:15:45,323
Maybe you should make
an announcement about me?
331
00:15:45,347 --> 00:15:47,058
Tracy? Um...
332
00:15:47,082 --> 00:15:48,459
What are you doing here?
333
00:15:48,483 --> 00:15:50,228
Where else would I be?
334
00:15:50,252 --> 00:15:52,563
I'm Empire's newest co-owner.
335
00:15:53,822 --> 00:15:56,606
Hi.
336
00:16:01,664 --> 00:16:03,345
Your own interest in Empire...
337
00:16:03,346 --> 00:16:05,725
- How the hell is that possible?
- Cookie gave me shares
338
00:16:05,749 --> 00:16:07,748
in exchange for my son's heart.
339
00:16:07,749 --> 00:16:09,943
You traded Kingsley's heart?
340
00:16:09,944 --> 00:16:11,760
I saved your life, Andre.
341
00:16:13,614 --> 00:16:15,759
Close your mouth.
You're attracting flies.
342
00:16:15,783 --> 00:16:18,795
Why would you want a part of Empire?
343
00:16:18,819 --> 00:16:21,164
I need a little fun in my life.
344
00:16:21,188 --> 00:16:23,633
I used to help Lucious
with his music back in the day.
345
00:16:23,657 --> 00:16:26,174
I was really good at it, too.
I had a real ear.
346
00:16:28,329 --> 00:16:30,812
And I want to be close to my son.
347
00:16:32,533 --> 00:16:36,852
I-I... miss him so much.
348
00:16:41,008 --> 00:16:42,452
Hey...
349
00:16:42,476 --> 00:16:44,526
Can I hear my boy?
350
00:16:59,860 --> 00:17:03,406
Oh...
351
00:17:03,430 --> 00:17:06,009
There you are, my love.
352
00:17:09,670 --> 00:17:11,047
You got to make sure
353
00:17:11,071 --> 00:17:12,549
you eat some of them lamb chops, girl.
354
00:17:12,573 --> 00:17:15,085
Okay? That's iron.
That baby needs iron, now.
355
00:17:15,109 --> 00:17:16,519
Mmm, these green beans, though. Mmm.
356
00:17:16,543 --> 00:17:18,054
Give that baby some meat, girl.
357
00:17:18,078 --> 00:17:20,857
No vegan grandchild...
358
00:17:24,785 --> 00:17:26,062
You gave White Tracy a stake
359
00:17:26,086 --> 00:17:28,064
in Empire? Have you lost your mind?
360
00:17:28,088 --> 00:17:30,539
Have you lost your damn mind,
hollering at me?
361
00:17:32,026 --> 00:17:34,371
Dre, I would have given her
the whole damn company
362
00:17:34,395 --> 00:17:36,740
if that's what it would've taken
to save your life.
363
00:17:39,366 --> 00:17:41,678
Now, she was supposed to let me
break the news to you,
364
00:17:41,702 --> 00:17:43,413
but I guess that goes to show
365
00:17:43,437 --> 00:17:45,348
you can't trust an ex-crackhead.
366
00:17:45,372 --> 00:17:46,683
So you just let her
into our boardroom.
367
00:17:46,707 --> 00:17:47,784
That's great, Ma. That's real great.
368
00:17:47,808 --> 00:17:49,219
Does Pop know what you did?
369
00:17:49,243 --> 00:17:51,054
Oh, you think I need
your daddy's permission?
370
00:17:51,078 --> 00:17:53,456
Boy, you don't know me at all, do you?
371
00:17:53,480 --> 00:17:55,025
You know, Andre, you cannot
372
00:17:55,049 --> 00:17:57,127
be mad at Cookie
for trying to save your life.
373
00:17:57,151 --> 00:17:58,929
Thank you, Teri. Glad somebody
374
00:17:58,953 --> 00:18:01,097
around here got
some good damn common sense.
375
00:18:01,121 --> 00:18:04,134
Oh, and I'm going with you
to your checkup tomorrow.
376
00:18:04,158 --> 00:18:07,175
Yeah, I need to make sure
my investment is paying off.
377
00:18:09,063 --> 00:18:12,581
Yeah, you better sit your ass down.
378
00:18:14,668 --> 00:18:16,813
Well, I've been thinking...
379
00:18:16,837 --> 00:18:19,221
- Not a good time to start that, Hakeem.
- Um, hello?
380
00:18:22,343 --> 00:18:25,322
I want to play Lucious
in the Empire movie.
381
00:18:25,346 --> 00:18:28,291
You know, I could bring
that realness, bro.
382
00:18:28,315 --> 00:18:29,960
Nobody can do that.
383
00:18:29,984 --> 00:18:32,996
We need a star in that role.
An A-list actor.
384
00:18:33,020 --> 00:18:35,565
Well, now, you can get a lot of press,
385
00:18:35,589 --> 00:18:40,770
a lot of hype,
if Hakeem plays his daddy.
386
00:18:40,794 --> 00:18:44,774
But I'm not sticking my nose
in Empire's business.
387
00:18:44,798 --> 00:18:47,644
Miss Maya is here.
388
00:18:47,668 --> 00:18:49,479
I keep telling her
389
00:18:49,503 --> 00:18:50,680
she doesn't need to introduce me.
390
00:18:50,704 --> 00:18:51,982
Um, we have a problem.
391
00:18:52,006 --> 00:18:53,917
- What is it?
- The feds
392
00:18:53,941 --> 00:18:55,352
just held a press conference
telling the world
393
00:18:55,376 --> 00:18:57,687
that Lucious is a wanted fugitive.
394
00:18:57,711 --> 00:18:59,928
Oh, that's great.
395
00:19:05,019 --> 00:19:06,629
Andre Lyon.
396
00:19:06,653 --> 00:19:08,365
Yes.
397
00:19:08,389 --> 00:19:10,105
I think that's shortsighted.
398
00:19:14,561 --> 00:19:16,773
Charlie Dupree is no longer
willing to play Lucious,
399
00:19:16,797 --> 00:19:19,876
and our co-financiers
are pulling out of the film.
400
00:19:19,900 --> 00:19:22,812
Yeah, 'cause they heard that
bitch press conference, right?
401
00:19:22,836 --> 00:19:25,120
Fox deal is gonna
come off the table next.
402
00:19:26,140 --> 00:19:28,356
The feds are trying to destroy us.
403
00:19:37,184 --> 00:19:40,797
Look, when the hell
is this doctor gonna get here?
404
00:19:40,821 --> 00:19:42,804
He'll be here soon, Ma.
405
00:19:44,091 --> 00:19:47,904
Look, Andre, I know Empire
is on your mind, but...
406
00:19:47,928 --> 00:19:50,140
Pop trusted me with Empire, Ma.
407
00:19:50,164 --> 00:19:51,875
I can't let it fail.
408
00:19:51,899 --> 00:19:55,011
Boy, that thing will
work itself out. Okay?
409
00:19:55,035 --> 00:19:57,414
Andre, your health
is more important, baby.
410
00:19:57,438 --> 00:19:59,049
We got to make sure your heart is fine
411
00:19:59,073 --> 00:20:01,056
and that cancer is cleaned u...
412
00:20:03,110 --> 00:20:04,854
- Anybody see you?
- No, I'm good.
413
00:20:04,878 --> 00:20:07,362
What the hell is he doing here?
414
00:20:09,049 --> 00:20:11,394
We're not here for the doctor, okay?
415
00:20:11,418 --> 00:20:14,998
The feds are coming for Empire,
we're about to take a huge hit.
416
00:20:15,022 --> 00:20:17,934
We need the evidence on
Damon Cross to clear Pop's name,
417
00:20:17,958 --> 00:20:19,369
and it's gonna take us...
418
00:20:19,393 --> 00:20:21,871
all of us, Ma...
working together to do it.
419
00:20:21,895 --> 00:20:23,873
This is about family.
420
00:20:23,897 --> 00:20:26,509
Our legacy.
It's bigger than your marriage.
421
00:20:26,533 --> 00:20:28,678
Now, you two can kiss
and make up later, or not. I...
422
00:20:28,702 --> 00:20:30,680
We need a solution now.
423
00:20:30,704 --> 00:20:33,283
Give you a minute to work this out.
424
00:20:33,307 --> 00:20:35,251
- We have 30 minutes.
- I'm-a beat your ass.
425
00:20:35,275 --> 00:20:36,725
Work it out, Ma.
426
00:20:46,691 --> 00:20:50,437
Well, if it isn't
the Third Coming of Jesus?
427
00:20:50,461 --> 00:20:51,262
Amen.
428
00:20:51,286 --> 00:20:53,674
Oh, look, that's just
me trying to be civil.
429
00:20:53,698 --> 00:20:55,242
To hell with your damn civility.
430
00:20:55,266 --> 00:20:57,077
We wouldn't be in this situation
431
00:20:57,101 --> 00:21:00,080
if it hadn't been for you
and what you did with Damon.
432
00:21:00,104 --> 00:21:02,049
I wouldn't have gone
to Damon Cross if you were
433
00:21:02,073 --> 00:21:03,517
willing and able
to give me what I needed.
434
00:21:03,541 --> 00:21:05,452
- Wait, what you needed?
- Yes.
435
00:21:05,476 --> 00:21:07,526
What I needed.
436
00:21:09,313 --> 00:21:11,663
What?
437
00:21:12,583 --> 00:21:14,695
You didn't even sleep with him.
438
00:21:14,719 --> 00:21:17,130
You didn't.
439
00:21:17,154 --> 00:21:19,199
That is none of your business.
440
00:21:19,223 --> 00:21:21,868
No, I knew it. You can't cheat on me,
441
00:21:21,892 --> 00:21:25,305
'cause can't nobody do for you
like I do for you.
442
00:21:25,329 --> 00:21:27,802
What? And what is that, Lucious?
443
00:21:27,803 --> 00:21:32,501
'Huh? Give me pain and misery
and heart attacks?
444
00:21:33,634 --> 00:21:35,521
I never had to screw Damon
445
00:21:35,522 --> 00:21:38,552
to get more from him
what I ever got from you.
446
00:21:38,576 --> 00:21:40,487
Then why ain't you
with his ass right now, huh?
447
00:21:40,511 --> 00:21:42,289
Why ain't you with that son of a bitch
448
00:21:42,313 --> 00:21:45,759
that put our family in the
crosshairs so he can get you?
449
00:21:45,783 --> 00:21:49,463
Lucious, I don't need Damon
no more than I need your ass.
450
00:21:49,487 --> 00:21:51,832
Yeah, well, half of that's
a lie, and I bet your dumb ass
451
00:21:51,856 --> 00:21:53,567
- don't even know which one.
- Yeah, see,
452
00:21:53,591 --> 00:21:56,269
you know about lies,
don't you, Lucious?
453
00:21:56,293 --> 00:21:59,005
Lies and deceit,
454
00:21:59,029 --> 00:22:03,009
and broken promises, backstabs.
455
00:22:03,033 --> 00:22:04,644
- You know about that.
- Wait, I couldn't tell you
456
00:22:04,668 --> 00:22:06,179
about Andre!
457
00:22:06,203 --> 00:22:10,751
It's not about Andre! It's about us!
458
00:22:10,775 --> 00:22:13,787
I needed you to think
about me for a change.
459
00:22:13,811 --> 00:22:15,422
It ain't always about you, Cookie.
460
00:22:15,446 --> 00:22:17,991
Oh, yeah, well,
you proved that, Lucious!
461
00:22:18,015 --> 00:22:20,594
You proved that already.
462
00:22:20,618 --> 00:22:25,165
Don't worry,
I'm-a fix this for my family,
463
00:22:25,189 --> 00:22:27,134
not for your black ass.
464
00:22:27,158 --> 00:22:28,635
I don't need your help.
465
00:22:28,659 --> 00:22:30,470
I will fix this, and when I'm done,
466
00:22:30,494 --> 00:22:32,172
I'm gonna go back to my girl.
467
00:22:32,196 --> 00:22:33,340
- Oh, your new bitch.
- Yeah.
468
00:22:33,364 --> 00:22:34,474
Right. Okay.
469
00:22:34,498 --> 00:22:37,277
I'm over you, Cookie.
470
00:22:37,301 --> 00:22:38,951
Nah.
471
00:22:41,238 --> 00:22:44,122
You could never be over me.
472
00:22:48,412 --> 00:22:51,057
You can change your hair,
get as fancy as you want,
473
00:22:51,081 --> 00:22:53,794
get all the new bitches
you need, honey,
474
00:22:53,818 --> 00:22:56,969
but you'll never be over me.
475
00:22:59,657 --> 00:23:03,136
- Hey, partner.
- Hi.
476
00:23:03,160 --> 00:23:04,971
I want you to check this girl out.
477
00:23:04,995 --> 00:23:06,573
I found her online.
478
00:23:06,597 --> 00:23:09,376
She can sing, and she has
millions of views.
479
00:23:16,040 --> 00:23:18,552
TheTube? What... I-I thought
we already discussed this.
480
00:23:18,576 --> 00:23:20,887
Ooh, you're being kind of negative.
481
00:23:20,911 --> 00:23:22,489
Can you just listen?
482
00:23:22,513 --> 00:23:23,824
I don't need to.
483
00:23:23,848 --> 00:23:25,592
Because if I don't know her
name, then she's obviously
484
00:23:25,616 --> 00:23:27,727
not our marquee artist.
485
00:23:27,751 --> 00:23:30,730
First of all, she sings her ass off,
486
00:23:30,754 --> 00:23:35,101
she's gorgeous and she's got
four million followers.
487
00:23:35,125 --> 00:23:36,770
So if I didn't act fast,
488
00:23:36,794 --> 00:23:38,538
there was gonna be a bidding war.
489
00:23:38,562 --> 00:23:41,072
Becky, do not tell me what I
think you are about to tell me.
490
00:23:43,067 --> 00:23:45,512
I made an executive decision,
491
00:23:45,536 --> 00:23:47,547
- and I signed her.
- Oh, my God.
492
00:23:47,571 --> 00:23:50,584
You had no right to act unilaterally.
493
00:23:50,608 --> 00:23:53,520
That is not what Black Girl
Magic is all about.
494
00:23:53,544 --> 00:23:55,789
Oh, no, I betrayed Black Girl Magic.
495
00:23:55,813 --> 00:23:57,090
Girl, rent is due, okay,
496
00:23:57,114 --> 00:23:58,525
and she's already on the plane
497
00:23:58,549 --> 00:24:01,194
on her way here to meet us in person.
498
00:24:01,218 --> 00:24:03,129
You signed somebody
you haven't even met yet?
499
00:24:03,153 --> 00:24:05,899
Wow. Okay, baby girl,
500
00:24:05,923 --> 00:24:10,203
we had a digi-meeting;
that means digital.
501
00:24:10,227 --> 00:24:12,205
I fell in love with her,
and you will, too.
502
00:24:12,229 --> 00:24:16,409
Okay? So... so we have signed
our first artist.
503
00:24:16,433 --> 00:24:17,544
Congratulations.
504
00:24:22,907 --> 00:24:24,417
No, no matter what happens,
505
00:24:24,441 --> 00:24:27,559
I'm gonna handle Damon Cross' ass.
506
00:24:29,346 --> 00:24:31,057
Are you all right, son?
507
00:24:31,081 --> 00:24:34,761
I just don't want to let you down.
508
00:24:34,785 --> 00:24:37,564
I mean, I'm doing everything
I can to build Empire back, Pop,
509
00:24:37,588 --> 00:24:41,234
but Empire's being attacked
on all sides.
510
00:24:41,258 --> 00:24:43,770
That's the nature of a kingdom.
511
00:24:43,794 --> 00:24:46,573
It's always under attack,
and the problem is
512
00:24:46,597 --> 00:24:49,075
I raised you to be a prince,
513
00:24:49,099 --> 00:24:51,678
but a prince has no real power.
514
00:24:51,702 --> 00:24:55,015
You only have power
when you become king.
515
00:24:55,039 --> 00:24:59,419
And as a king, you will have
to defend your kingdom
516
00:24:59,443 --> 00:25:01,588
by any means.
517
00:25:01,612 --> 00:25:03,757
And when the time comes,
you'll know exactly
518
00:25:03,781 --> 00:25:06,192
what you need to do.
519
00:25:06,216 --> 00:25:08,929
Sorry, Andre, but Empire
cannot represent Fox
520
00:25:08,953 --> 00:25:10,669
while your father is a fugitive.
521
00:25:17,661 --> 00:25:21,107
If my father is guilty
of what they're accusing him of,
522
00:25:21,131 --> 00:25:22,776
it is a direct violation
523
00:25:22,800 --> 00:25:25,812
and betrayal against what
my new Empire stands for,
524
00:25:25,836 --> 00:25:29,716
and I will turn him in myself.
525
00:25:29,740 --> 00:25:33,258
I'm inviting you to be a part
of the new Empire.
526
00:25:36,914 --> 00:25:39,498
Join me.
527
00:25:40,384 --> 00:25:42,829
I can sell that.
528
00:25:42,853 --> 00:25:44,664
I'll take it back to our team.
529
00:25:44,688 --> 00:25:48,039
Yes, sir. Thank you.
530
00:25:49,393 --> 00:25:50,904
- Thank you. Smart man.
- Yes, sir.
531
00:25:56,667 --> 00:25:57,911
Teri?
532
00:26:01,238 --> 00:26:02,649
Hey, sweetheart.
533
00:26:02,673 --> 00:26:05,885
Yo, what's up, man?
534
00:26:05,909 --> 00:26:08,188
Oh, Teri and me, we just
535
00:26:08,212 --> 00:26:10,322
been kicking it, waiting
for your ass to get home.
536
00:26:11,615 --> 00:26:15,095
Um, I'm gonna get off my feet,
537
00:26:15,119 --> 00:26:16,763
and I'm gonna let you two catch up.
538
00:26:16,787 --> 00:26:18,336
I'll be up in a minute.
539
00:26:20,190 --> 00:26:22,202
Man, that is one sweet...
540
00:26:22,226 --> 00:26:26,072
You don't come to my home
without an invitation.
541
00:26:26,096 --> 00:26:27,741
Ever.
542
00:26:27,765 --> 00:26:29,743
My bad. I'm just anxious, man.
543
00:26:29,767 --> 00:26:31,578
All this waiting
for you to come through.
544
00:26:31,602 --> 00:26:33,185
I'm ready for my life to start.
545
00:26:39,143 --> 00:26:40,692
Want to top me off?
546
00:26:53,157 --> 00:26:56,302
I got nothing for you, Mouse.
547
00:26:56,326 --> 00:26:59,277
Soon as I got something tight,
I'll let you know.
548
00:27:01,231 --> 00:27:04,583
- Cool.
- Cool.
549
00:27:07,004 --> 00:27:09,120
That's all I needed to know.
550
00:27:25,656 --> 00:27:27,639
Nice house.
551
00:27:28,826 --> 00:27:31,209
Nice family.
552
00:27:49,857 --> 00:27:51,501
Trini Bayer's new book,
553
00:27:51,525 --> 00:27:52,769
Marrying the Bad Boy,
554
00:27:52,793 --> 00:27:54,304
has shot to number one
555
00:27:54,328 --> 00:27:56,039
on The New York Times
Best Seller list.
556
00:27:56,063 --> 00:27:59,042
Why does a book with a title
like that rocket to the top?
557
00:27:59,066 --> 00:28:00,877
Well, Jan, maybe the time has come
558
00:28:00,901 --> 00:28:03,347
when we women have to stop
pointing our fingers at men,
559
00:28:03,371 --> 00:28:05,148
at what men do to us.
560
00:28:05,172 --> 00:28:07,824
Why do we let them do it?
Am I right, Cook?
561
00:28:07,848 --> 00:28:08,719
Excuse me?
562
00:28:08,743 --> 00:28:11,855
Well, let's face it, Cook,
y-you seem like a smart woman,
563
00:28:11,879 --> 00:28:13,290
but you've been married
564
00:28:13,314 --> 00:28:15,559
to an abusive, lying, womanizing thug
565
00:28:15,583 --> 00:28:17,394
for how many years?
566
00:28:17,418 --> 00:28:20,230
I mean, is anyone surprised that
the FBI's after Lucious Lyon?
567
00:28:20,254 --> 00:28:22,132
First of all, don't call me "Cook."
568
00:28:22,156 --> 00:28:23,800
And second of all,
569
00:28:23,824 --> 00:28:25,302
get your mouth off my husband.
570
00:28:25,326 --> 00:28:27,404
Okay, don't be so hostile.
571
00:28:27,428 --> 00:28:28,805
Oh, okay, there's a topic.
572
00:28:28,829 --> 00:28:31,174
Now why is it that
when white women get mad
573
00:28:31,198 --> 00:28:32,743
it's called strength,
574
00:28:32,767 --> 00:28:35,812
but when black women get mad
it's called hostile?
575
00:28:35,836 --> 00:28:38,415
- Okay, I'm feeling threatened by that.
- Oh, now you're threatened?
576
00:28:38,439 --> 00:28:40,150
Why are you defending Lucious Lyon?
577
00:28:40,174 --> 00:28:42,986
I mean, if Lucious
is a womanizer or abuser
578
00:28:43,010 --> 00:28:45,756
or all these things
you claim that he is,
579
00:28:45,780 --> 00:28:48,425
then why are you pointing your
finger at me like it's my fault?
580
00:28:48,449 --> 00:28:51,328
When are we going to stop
blaming women
581
00:28:51,352 --> 00:28:53,196
for the things that their men do?
582
00:28:53,220 --> 00:28:55,250
- Yeah.
- That's right.
583
00:28:59,527 --> 00:29:02,739
I left my husband
584
00:29:02,763 --> 00:29:06,410
and the company
we built together, and...
585
00:29:06,434 --> 00:29:07,983
it's hard.
586
00:29:11,238 --> 00:29:14,751
It's the hardest thing
I've ever had to do.
587
00:29:14,775 --> 00:29:16,186
And for you two
588
00:29:16,210 --> 00:29:18,288
to sit up here
and slam me with his name
589
00:29:18,312 --> 00:29:21,792
every damn chance you get
doesn't make it easier.
590
00:29:21,816 --> 00:29:22,638
Can we cut to commercial?
591
00:29:22,662 --> 00:29:24,127
Oh, what, you need to
change your diaper?
592
00:29:24,151 --> 00:29:26,596
Okay, this is blowing my mind.
593
00:29:26,620 --> 00:29:28,432
Oh, no, stupid, your mind was blown
594
00:29:28,456 --> 00:29:30,901
after those three white lines
you snorted in the green room.
595
00:29:32,093 --> 00:29:33,937
There's your tea, baby,
596
00:29:33,961 --> 00:29:35,372
with a Cookie on the side.
597
00:30:00,254 --> 00:30:03,433
- I missed you.
- I missed you.
598
00:30:03,457 --> 00:30:06,937
- I was singing you home.
- Mm, well, it worked.
599
00:30:11,766 --> 00:30:15,912
Look, baby, um...
600
00:30:15,936 --> 00:30:19,683
I got to tell you something.
601
00:30:19,707 --> 00:30:22,452
Okay.
602
00:30:22,476 --> 00:30:25,822
My real name...
603
00:30:25,846 --> 00:30:28,830
- who I really am...
- Shh.
604
00:30:30,985 --> 00:30:33,196
You're Lucious Lyon.
605
00:30:33,220 --> 00:30:36,700
You knew?
606
00:30:36,724 --> 00:30:38,702
Of course I knew.
607
00:30:38,726 --> 00:30:41,671
I knew the minute you started
talking music to me.
608
00:30:41,695 --> 00:30:44,641
Then you also know that
I'm on the run from the FBI,
609
00:30:44,665 --> 00:30:47,978
and that I got to keep things moving.
610
00:30:48,002 --> 00:30:50,280
Wait, so you're saying
that you're leaving?
611
00:30:50,304 --> 00:30:53,016
Now, look, baby, I'm...
I want to stay,
612
00:30:53,040 --> 00:30:56,019
- but I got to be realistic.
- Okay.
613
00:30:56,043 --> 00:30:59,189
If I'm gonna ever clear my name,
I got to get some money.
614
00:30:59,213 --> 00:31:00,991
- Oh, I have money.
- No.
615
00:31:01,015 --> 00:31:03,193
Baby, you sing at a dive bar.
616
00:31:03,217 --> 00:31:07,564
And I have a very, very,
very rich father.
617
00:31:07,588 --> 00:31:10,033
I mean, he's horrible,
but he pays all of my bills,
618
00:31:10,057 --> 00:31:11,535
and even though we don't really talk,
619
00:31:11,559 --> 00:31:13,670
if I ask him for money, he'll send it.
620
00:31:13,694 --> 00:31:16,545
- Baby, that's not what I want.
- Uh, stop.
621
00:31:18,365 --> 00:31:20,644
You have got to stop
blocking your good.
622
00:31:20,668 --> 00:31:24,414
I don't care what
you're running from or to.
623
00:31:24,438 --> 00:31:27,717
But you and I, though,
624
00:31:27,741 --> 00:31:31,688
I just have this feeling
that we're destined to be.
625
00:31:31,712 --> 00:31:33,829
Okay.
626
00:31:42,690 --> 00:31:44,100
I can't believe I'm really here.
627
00:31:44,124 --> 00:31:47,337
I can hardly believe it myself.
628
00:31:47,361 --> 00:31:49,606
This where it all starts, Lala.
629
00:31:49,630 --> 00:31:52,876
So, today, you're going
to sing for us.
630
00:31:52,900 --> 00:31:56,112
Uh, just us, you know.
And it's unamplified,
631
00:31:56,136 --> 00:31:58,915
so why don't you just, like,
make yourself comfy
632
00:31:58,939 --> 00:32:01,390
and, you know, sing out?
633
00:32:03,110 --> 00:32:05,188
Oh, okay. Yes, you?
634
00:32:05,212 --> 00:32:08,291
I usually sing in the dark.
635
00:32:08,315 --> 00:32:12,262
That's no problem.
Hey, why don't you just...
636
00:32:12,286 --> 00:32:13,897
- Yeah.
- We'll draw the shades.
637
00:32:13,921 --> 00:32:15,098
No problem.
638
00:32:15,122 --> 00:32:17,067
We'll dim the lights.
639
00:32:17,091 --> 00:32:19,069
Let you get in your mood.
640
00:32:19,093 --> 00:32:22,105
And, um, could you both
turn around, please?
641
00:32:22,129 --> 00:32:25,308
I'm not used to people looking at me.
642
00:32:27,001 --> 00:32:28,979
Oh.
643
00:32:29,003 --> 00:32:31,081
But you were a YouTube
sensation, right?
644
00:32:31,105 --> 00:32:32,582
- That's what you said.
- She is.
645
00:32:32,606 --> 00:32:34,084
Four million views, right?
646
00:32:34,108 --> 00:32:37,254
Looking at you.
That's people that's looking.
647
00:32:37,278 --> 00:32:38,822
No problem. It's gonna be so good.
648
00:32:38,846 --> 00:32:41,391
Let's just do it.
Let's just, let's just do it.
649
00:32:41,415 --> 00:32:44,160
It's gonna be great. You got this.
650
00:32:44,184 --> 00:32:46,162
You realize how stupid this is?
651
00:32:46,186 --> 00:32:48,231
Shh. She is singing.
652
00:32:51,125 --> 00:32:54,804
No, she's not singing.
653
00:32:54,828 --> 00:32:56,973
Okay. La-Lala.
654
00:32:56,997 --> 00:32:59,175
Honey, can you just sing out?
655
00:32:59,199 --> 00:33:01,144
Like, "out" as in louder.
656
00:33:02,803 --> 00:33:04,180
- Is she sobbing?
- Yes.
657
00:33:04,204 --> 00:33:05,815
No, she's not... Oh.
658
00:33:05,839 --> 00:33:07,250
You realize you have signed us
659
00:33:07,274 --> 00:33:09,452
- a silent singer.
- Totally unamplified. God.
660
00:33:09,476 --> 00:33:11,454
No, no, no, no. I didn't... No,
no, no. This is not what I...
661
00:33:11,478 --> 00:33:14,324
Um, hey...
662
00:33:14,348 --> 00:33:16,593
Lala, what's, uh, what's happening?
663
00:33:16,617 --> 00:33:19,429
- What's going on?
- I-I only know how to sing in my bedroom.
664
00:33:19,453 --> 00:33:22,465
Oh, Lala, you signed a deal.
665
00:33:22,489 --> 00:33:24,134
Did you see "only sings
666
00:33:24,158 --> 00:33:26,269
in bedroom" anywhere in the contract?!
667
00:33:26,293 --> 00:33:29,606
Oh, no, no. I didn't mean to
yell. I was frus... I'm hungry.
668
00:33:29,630 --> 00:33:31,608
I hope you have
the receipts on this girl,
669
00:33:31,632 --> 00:33:33,643
because she has to go back.
670
00:33:37,705 --> 00:33:39,516
What are you so stressed about? Hmm?
671
00:33:39,540 --> 00:33:42,152
Well, I'm supposed to announce
the Empire film tonight,
672
00:33:42,176 --> 00:33:44,321
and I've got no star.
673
00:33:44,345 --> 00:33:46,823
That's the first thing
everybody's gonna want to know.
674
00:33:46,847 --> 00:33:50,860
Well, if you don't have
an answer, don't give one.
675
00:33:50,884 --> 00:33:53,135
Oh, Teri, it doesn't
work like that, baby.
676
00:33:54,054 --> 00:33:56,299
Okay.
677
00:33:56,323 --> 00:33:58,568
Let's pray about it, then.
678
00:34:01,595 --> 00:34:02,872
Teri...
679
00:34:02,896 --> 00:34:04,708
I don't remember how to pray.
680
00:34:04,732 --> 00:34:05,976
- Oh.
- I don't remember.
681
00:34:06,000 --> 00:34:07,811
I don't... Listen.
682
00:34:07,835 --> 00:34:10,013
- Ah.
- I've turned my back on God as many times
683
00:34:10,037 --> 00:34:11,915
as He's turned His back on me.
684
00:34:11,939 --> 00:34:13,416
So I must have forgot.
685
00:34:13,440 --> 00:34:16,491
He saved your life, Andre.
686
00:34:17,678 --> 00:34:19,194
I know you believe that.
687
00:34:20,948 --> 00:34:23,927
How can you not?
688
00:34:23,951 --> 00:34:25,228
Ooh.
689
00:34:25,252 --> 00:34:26,596
- What's wrong?
- Oh, nothing.
690
00:34:26,620 --> 00:34:28,064
- You okay?
- Uh, no, I'm fine, I'm fine, I'm fine.
691
00:34:28,088 --> 00:34:32,202
It's just our little boy
is putting on weight.
692
00:34:32,226 --> 00:34:34,004
Well, Teri, if you're tired,
w-why don't you stay home
693
00:34:34,028 --> 00:34:36,172
- and get some rest?
- No, no, no. I-I'm coming out.
694
00:34:36,196 --> 00:34:38,008
- Teri, no, no. Teri?
- I want to...
695
00:34:38,032 --> 00:34:39,876
- I want to support you. I...
- No, no, no. Listen. No, no.
696
00:34:39,900 --> 00:34:41,845
I will be fine.
697
00:34:41,869 --> 00:34:43,346
Okay? I will go out there
698
00:34:43,370 --> 00:34:46,016
in front of all those people
and lie...
699
00:34:46,040 --> 00:34:47,517
- Lie? Lie?
- Yes, ma'am. I will,
700
00:34:47,541 --> 00:34:48,952
I will lie and tell them all
701
00:34:48,976 --> 00:34:50,553
we're having
a nationwide talent search
702
00:34:50,577 --> 00:34:52,022
to find the right Lucious.
703
00:34:52,046 --> 00:34:55,291
That's actually a great idea. A...
704
00:34:55,315 --> 00:34:57,594
A... Wait, a talent search?
705
00:34:57,618 --> 00:35:00,263
Baby, the press would run with that.
706
00:35:00,287 --> 00:35:02,298
Really.
707
00:35:02,322 --> 00:35:04,768
You know, you're right.
708
00:35:04,792 --> 00:35:07,303
You're right. My baby, the genius.
709
00:35:07,327 --> 00:35:09,205
Mwah.
710
00:35:09,229 --> 00:35:10,779
You see what God did?
711
00:35:12,666 --> 00:35:15,245
That's what we did, okay?
712
00:35:15,269 --> 00:35:17,080
- Mm.
- I love you.
713
00:35:17,104 --> 00:35:18,915
- I love you.
- Stay off your feet.
714
00:35:18,939 --> 00:35:20,550
I'll be back soon.
715
00:37:03,844 --> 00:37:07,090
It's a new day for Empire.
716
00:37:09,383 --> 00:37:13,062
Empire is stretching out
and holding new dreams.
717
00:37:13,086 --> 00:37:15,003
Fox Basketball.
718
00:37:16,523 --> 00:37:19,068
The new Empire movie.
719
00:37:20,460 --> 00:37:23,406
And as a part of that new day,
720
00:37:23,430 --> 00:37:25,575
I would like to announce
721
00:37:25,599 --> 00:37:31,281
that I am now
the new permanent CEO of Empire.
722
00:37:34,408 --> 00:37:35,618
Thank you. Thank you very much.
723
00:37:35,642 --> 00:37:37,053
Thank you so much.
724
00:37:37,077 --> 00:37:39,355
Thank you very much.
725
00:37:39,379 --> 00:37:40,690
And now I have
an exciting announcement
726
00:37:40,714 --> 00:37:41,958
about the Empire movie.
727
00:37:59,233 --> 00:38:01,411
"What the DJ Spins"?
It's like, why that?
728
00:38:01,435 --> 00:38:03,780
What the hell is Hakeem doing?
729
00:38:05,405 --> 00:38:06,616
I bet y'all didn't know
730
00:38:06,640 --> 00:38:08,952
we were doing an Empire movie,
did you?
731
00:38:10,644 --> 00:38:12,422
But wait!
732
00:38:12,446 --> 00:38:15,658
I'm playing my father, Lucious Lyon.
733
00:38:36,061 --> 00:38:37,551
You can't play Lucious.
734
00:38:37,552 --> 00:38:40,298
What? Bro, you hear the crowd?
They seem to think different.
735
00:38:40,322 --> 00:38:42,266
You don't get to make
those type of decisions, Hakeem.
736
00:38:42,290 --> 00:38:45,436
Decisions like
you being permanent CEO?
737
00:38:45,460 --> 00:38:47,972
You want me to back you up on that,
738
00:38:47,996 --> 00:38:50,546
back me up on this.
739
00:38:54,603 --> 00:38:57,982
You're on the Empire jet tonight.
740
00:38:58,006 --> 00:38:59,584
You'll work with the director
first thing in the morning.
741
00:38:59,608 --> 00:39:01,724
- Cool.
- Hakeem...
742
00:39:02,611 --> 00:39:04,527
You better deliver.
743
00:39:05,447 --> 00:39:07,563
Always.
744
00:39:11,620 --> 00:39:12,997
Wait a minute. Where you going?
745
00:39:13,021 --> 00:39:15,600
I'm calling my father. Shh.
746
00:39:15,624 --> 00:39:17,101
Hey, hey.
747
00:39:17,125 --> 00:39:18,502
Hi, Daddy.
748
00:39:18,526 --> 00:39:20,271
Hey, sweetheart, you good?
749
00:39:20,295 --> 00:39:22,907
I'm good. I'm just feeling,
um, a little stressed.
750
00:39:22,931 --> 00:39:25,243
I was, um, thinking about going back
751
00:39:25,267 --> 00:39:27,144
to the ashram in Delhi for a while,
752
00:39:27,168 --> 00:39:28,779
but I kind of can't afford it.
753
00:39:28,803 --> 00:39:30,248
What? Come on.
754
00:39:30,272 --> 00:39:32,250
You know you don't have
to worry about no money.
755
00:39:32,274 --> 00:39:34,018
I mean, the ashram works for you.
756
00:39:34,042 --> 00:39:35,953
I'll have Ray give you
whatever you need.
757
00:39:35,977 --> 00:39:37,455
Thanks, Dad.
758
00:39:37,479 --> 00:39:39,924
So, you sure you're okay, though?
759
00:39:39,948 --> 00:39:41,692
Yes, Dad, I'm fine.
760
00:39:41,716 --> 00:39:44,128
I don't believe in illness, remember?
761
00:39:44,152 --> 00:39:45,630
Well, good, then.
If you don't believe in it,
762
00:39:45,654 --> 00:39:47,098
I don't believe in it. I love you.
763
00:39:47,122 --> 00:39:48,599
Take care, baby girl. I love you.
764
00:39:48,623 --> 00:39:50,167
You said that already.
765
00:39:50,191 --> 00:39:51,669
It's late, and you're old.
766
00:39:51,693 --> 00:39:54,610
Go to bed.
767
00:39:55,530 --> 00:39:57,174
VoilĂ !
768
00:39:57,198 --> 00:39:58,643
Just like that?
769
00:39:58,667 --> 00:40:00,311
Yup.
770
00:40:00,335 --> 00:40:01,679
Hmm.
771
00:40:01,703 --> 00:40:03,114
You should meet him sometime.
772
00:40:03,138 --> 00:40:05,149
He's a real character.
773
00:40:06,875 --> 00:40:08,991
I bet he is.
774
00:40:28,563 --> 00:40:30,346
You owe me, bitch.
775
00:40:31,900 --> 00:40:33,811
Hey, babe,
776
00:40:33,835 --> 00:40:37,214
I was trying to wait up,
but I got to get to bed, so,
777
00:40:37,238 --> 00:40:39,684
just no rush.
778
00:40:39,708 --> 00:40:41,991
You know where to find me.
779
00:40:50,385 --> 00:40:52,502
You late.
780
00:40:53,588 --> 00:40:55,700
I told you I'd be here, man.
Chill out.
781
00:40:55,724 --> 00:40:57,902
- Where's my gig?
- What, you want me to pull your future
782
00:40:57,926 --> 00:41:00,371
out of my hat? That's what you want?
783
00:41:00,395 --> 00:41:02,440
I heard you out there tonight.
784
00:41:02,464 --> 00:41:05,910
You're Mr. Big Man, Mr. Empire.
785
00:41:05,934 --> 00:41:07,878
You're no better than me, Andre.
786
00:41:07,902 --> 00:41:09,714
I killed for you in prison.
787
00:41:09,738 --> 00:41:11,916
What-What...? What if I told
the world that, huh?
788
00:41:11,940 --> 00:41:13,351
Which would they hate most?
789
00:41:13,375 --> 00:41:17,121
The fact that you paid for murder,
790
00:41:17,145 --> 00:41:20,524
or the fact that the leader
of Empire got no balls?
791
00:41:20,548 --> 00:41:22,393
Get the hell out of my face, Mouse.
792
00:41:22,417 --> 00:41:24,295
Oh, or what? You're gonna
hire somebody to kill me?
793
00:41:24,319 --> 00:41:26,269
Huh?
794
00:41:36,264 --> 00:41:39,076
Should I carve you up,
795
00:41:39,100 --> 00:41:42,813
or should I wait and catch the wife?
796
00:41:42,837 --> 00:41:44,715
Oh, no.
797
00:41:44,739 --> 00:41:46,884
God. Oh, God.
798
00:41:46,908 --> 00:41:48,285
Maybe one day when you're at work...
799
00:41:48,309 --> 00:41:51,288
Son of a bitch!
800
00:42:07,429 --> 00:42:09,340
You're gonna kill who? Huh?
801
00:42:09,364 --> 00:42:11,075
Who you gonna kill?!
802
00:42:11,099 --> 00:42:13,277
Huh?! Huh?!
803
00:42:13,301 --> 00:42:15,279
Huh?
804
00:42:15,303 --> 00:42:16,747
Kill who?!
805
00:43:08,451 --> 00:43:09,601
_
