But really, I mean,
there's nobody here
180
00:06:51,172 --> 00:06:52,572
that's worried it might be too much?
181

187
00:07:00,548 --> 00:07:01,815
The focus here is about the music.
188
00:07:01,816 --> 00:07:03,784
Okay? Not about us.
189
00:07:03,785 --> 00:07:07,087
And also remember that precisely
why "Emotions" did well
190
00:07:07,088 --> 00:07:08,622
is because no one knew that it was us.
191
00:07:08,623 --> 00:07:12,292
This has nothing to do
with who any of us are.
192
00:07:12,293 --> 00:07:14,761
And I'm sick
of having these conversations

about "too big" or whatever.

Well, met him at a fundraiser,

and he's always been a fan
of my music,

You know why?

Because he knows
that if he fronts you the money,

then he has to go up
against Kelly Patel,

Let's take a look. This morning...
265
00:10:27,594 --> 00:10:29,328
Why are our shares going up?
266
00:10:30,530 --> 00:10:33,366
Because Kelly Patel
is buying them at a premium.
267
00:10:33,367 --> 00:10:35,534
We can't just keep raising money
and let them buy the company
268
00:10:35,535 --> 00:10:36,736
out from under us anyway.
269
00:10:36,737 --> 00:10:38,404
I mean, isn't there some way
we can find out
270
00:10:38,405 --> 00:10:39,939
what his top dollar is?
271
00:10:39,940 --> 00:10:43,075
I can get the number.
272
00:10:43,076 --> 00:10:45,678
Look, Eddie thinks that I agree
with his strategy for Empire.
273
00:10:45,679 --> 00:10:47,947
I can make him think
I bailed on you two.
274
00:10:47,948 --> 00:10:49,849
Eddie's not that stupid.
275
00:10:49,850 --> 00:10:51,217
Yeah. Yeah, how in the hell
276
00:10:51,218 --> 00:10:54,186
would you make
something like that work?
277
00:10:54,187 --> 00:10:55,855
Well, Eddie thinks Th-there's friction
278
00:10:55,856 --> 00:10:57,256
between Andre
and the rest of the family.
279
00:10:57,257 --> 00:11:00,292
I mean, he even asked me
about it. It might work.
280
00:11:00,293 --> 00:11:02,995
I know exactly what to say to him.
281
00:11:06,633 --> 00:11:08,434
ANDRE:
My father turned his back on me,
282
00:11:08,435 --> 00:11:11,404
and there's nothing I can do
to get his respect.
283
00:11:11,405 --> 00:11:13,773
That is why I'm here,
that's the only reason I'm here.
284
00:11:13,774 --> 00:11:15,675
How much more of this
do we have to listen to?
285
00:11:15,676 --> 00:11:17,043
Why the change of heart?
286
00:11:17,044 --> 00:11:18,811
You didn't back my play
with your parents.
287
00:11:18,812 --> 00:11:21,013
Lucious wants to take
the company backwards.
288
00:11:21,014 --> 00:11:23,649
I don't. We don't belong in the back.
289
00:11:23,650 --> 00:11:25,284
If I have to come here and...
290
00:11:25,285 --> 00:11:28,554
and I have to do this with you,
then I'm... I'm willing.
291
00:11:28,555 --> 00:11:31,524

over there, I'm-I'm willing.

Anika, you know as well as anyone
296
00:11:37,998 --> 00:11:40,599
that Lucious can't stand to be
in the same room as me.
297

You also know as well as anyone
298
00:11:42,069 --> 00:11:44,737
that Empire could be so much bigger
299
00:11:44,738 --> 00:11:46,272
if not for his limitations.

is not enough in 2018.

by your side, Uncle.

321

that Eddie Barker,
a longtime friend of our family,
322
00:12:48,802 --> 00:12:50,536
and a good friend,
323
00:12:50,537 --> 00:12:54,039
will lead Empire
into this bright new era.
324
00:12:54,040 --> 00:12:55,574
Now, my parents did a great thing
325
00:12:55,575 --> 00:12:58,077
giving birth to this company,
but, uh...
326
00:12:58,078 --> 00:12:59,578
but they're artists,
not business people,
327
00:12:59,579 --> 00:13:01,580
and it's time that Empire went global.
328
00:13:01,581 --> 00:13:05,451
With Kelly Patel's
acquisition, it will.

348
00:13:49,022 --> 00:13:52,024
You might not have made
the easy choice,
349
00:13:52,025 --> 00:13:55,161
- but you made the right one, Andre.
- Damn straight.
350
00:13:55,162 --> 00:13:57,697
That's one of the hardest things
I've ever had to do, but...
351
00:13:57,698 --> 00:13:59,632
- it feels right.
- I am genuinely excited
352
00:13:59,633 --> 00:14:01,234
about this content play.
353
00:14:01,235 --> 00:14:03,169
EDDIE: We'll keep
luring them in with music,
354
00:14:03,170 --> 00:14:05,371
and you'll take the user data
and monetize it
355
00:14:05,372 --> 00:14:07,707
- every which way to Sunday.
- (ANIKA CHUCKLES)
356
00:14:07,708 --> 00:14:10,076
Why are we cooped up in here?
Let's go out.
357
00:14:10,077 --> 00:14:11,911
- Let's celebrate.
- All right!
358
00:14:11,912 --> 00:14:14,180
- All right.
- Sounds like a plan to me.
359
00:14:14,181 --> 00:14:16,949
- So, where do you want to go?
- You tell me.
360
00:14:16,950 --> 00:14:18,351
- I chose last time.
- Okay.
361
00:14:18,352 --> 00:14:21,053
- You choose this time. And you're paying.
- Okay.
362
00:14:21,054 --> 00:14:24,991
- Oh. Forgot my jacket. I'll catch up.
- All right.
363
00:14:29,530 --> 00:14:32,098
(CAMERA CLICKING)
364
00:14:33,667 --> 00:14:35,468
You all right, Andre?
365
00:14:35,469 --> 00:14:38,037
- Got my jacket.
- Let's get out of here.
366
00:14:38,038 --> 00:14:40,506
- (PHONE CHIMES)
- LUCIOUS: Oh, wow.
367
00:14:40,507 --> 00:14:41,908
Andre came through.
368
00:14:41,909 --> 00:14:45,812
Kelly Patel's bottom line number.
369
00:14:45,813 --> 00:14:48,281
- $650 million.
- (SCOFFS)
370
00:14:48,282 --> 00:14:49,649
(THIRSTY LAUGHS)
371
00:14:49,650 --> 00:14:50,850
We ain't got it.
372
00:14:50,851 --> 00:14:52,618
And Eddie and Patel put a chokehold
373
00:14:52,619 --> 00:14:54,153
on the bank and the VC money.
374
00:14:54,154 --> 00:14:55,788
Maybe we need to, uh,
circle back around
375
00:14:55,789 --> 00:14:56,889
to that punk, Sam Gold.
376
00:14:56,890 --> 00:14:59,158
No, damn it. I am sick and tired
377
00:14:59,159 --> 00:15:00,827
of looking for the great white hope
378
00:15:00,828 --> 00:15:03,796
with deep pockets
to come and save the day.
379
00:15:03,797 --> 00:15:05,731
Enough of that.
380
00:15:10,304 --> 00:15:13,306
Lucious, do you remember
when PGW turned off the heat
381
00:15:13,307 --> 00:15:14,640
in the dead of winter?
382
00:15:14,641 --> 00:15:18,144
(LAUGHS) How could I forget, man?
383
00:15:18,145 --> 00:15:19,712
It was so cold.
384
00:15:19,713 --> 00:15:22,014
Remember all those inventive ways
385
00:15:22,015 --> 00:15:24,584
we came up with to stay warm?
386
00:15:24,585 --> 00:15:26,819
My point is, who helped us?
387
00:15:26,820 --> 00:15:29,622
Mike-Mike. He came in big-time.
388
00:15:29,623 --> 00:15:33,459
He-he gave us, um, a couple
kerosene heaters and a...
389
00:15:35,195 --> 00:15:39,232
I see where you're going with this.
390
00:15:39,233 --> 00:15:41,534
What?
391
00:15:41,535 --> 00:15:42,802
We go back to our roots.
392
00:15:42,803 --> 00:15:44,403
Damn right. See, on the block,
393
00:15:44,404 --> 00:15:45,972
if you couldn't cover your rent,
394
00:15:45,973 --> 00:15:47,373
- you threw a party.
- (CHUCKLES)
395
00:15:47,374 --> 00:15:50,042
People chipped in, you were good
for another month.
396
00:15:50,043 --> 00:15:51,377
Well, you know what, I'm so glad
397
00:15:51,378 --> 00:15:53,212
that we can afford
a trip down memory lane.
398
00:15:53,213 --> 00:15:55,214
But we're talking about
a lot more money
399
00:15:55,215 --> 00:15:56,849
than a couple of hundred bucks
400
00:15:56,850 --> 00:15:58,417
for the electric bill.
We're talking about
401
00:15:58,418 --> 00:15:59,819
60 to 70 mil.
402
00:16:01,088 --> 00:16:05,391
So... we throw a live concert
on XStream.
403
00:16:05,392 --> 00:16:08,628
LUCIOUS: We could set up
a separate account
404
00:16:08,629 --> 00:16:12,031
for the crowd fundraising.
If we don't make enough
405
00:16:12,032 --> 00:16:14,066
to buy back the company,
we give them their money back.
406
00:16:14,067 --> 00:16:18,571
But if we make enough,
we pay them back when we can.
407
00:16:18,572 --> 00:16:20,006
Bingo.
408
00:16:20,007 --> 00:16:22,241
Ain't no party like a rent party.
409
00:16:22,242 --> 00:16:23,943
(LAUGHS)
410
00:16:26,046 --> 00:16:27,914
These were my lucky shoes.
411
00:16:27,915 --> 00:16:30,283
Well, your luck's about to run out.
412
00:16:30,284 --> 00:16:32,285
The Lyons are all kinds of crazy.
413
00:16:32,286 --> 00:16:35,187
What makes you think Andre
is any different?
414
00:16:35,188 --> 00:16:37,123
Can't you see he's playing us?
415
00:16:37,124 --> 00:16:38,624
Or am I playing him?
416
00:16:38,625 --> 00:16:42,695
No. You can't trust him
or Anika for that matter.
417
00:16:42,696 --> 00:16:45,631
She's got duplicitous bitch
written all over her fake boobs.
418
00:16:45,632 --> 00:16:47,600
I think they're real.
419
00:16:47,601 --> 00:16:48,801
That was a test.
420
00:16:48,802 --> 00:16:50,136
Why are you even looking?
421
00:16:50,137 --> 00:16:52,438
- (EDDIE LAUGHS)
- No, why are you laughing?
422
00:16:52,439 --> 00:16:55,741
I can't have you distracted
right now. Think!
423
00:16:55,742 --> 00:16:58,477
(SIGHS) What matters...
424
00:16:58,478 --> 00:17:01,113
is do you trust me?
425
00:17:03,417 --> 00:17:05,084
What matters...
426
00:17:05,085 --> 00:17:09,722
is that in all of our deals...
427
00:17:09,723 --> 00:17:10,823
BOTH: We've always had
428
00:17:10,824 --> 00:17:13,092
an ace up our sleeves. Yes.
429
00:17:19,900 --> 00:17:21,667
Where's your ace?
430
00:17:21,668 --> 00:17:23,436
That's why I called you.
431
00:17:23,437 --> 00:17:25,571
(SCOFFS)
432
00:17:25,572 --> 00:17:27,039
I need you to do something for me.
433
00:17:27,040 --> 00:17:28,274
- You always need me...
- Hey.
434
00:17:28,275 --> 00:17:30,709
- ...to do something for you.
- Hey.
435
00:17:44,057 --> 00:17:45,358
COOKIE: Veronica's in our lineup
436
00:17:45,359 --> 00:17:47,159
for the rent party, so that's good.
437
00:17:47,160 --> 00:17:49,195
Yeah, well, we can forget about Tiana.
438
00:17:49,196 --> 00:17:52,164
You know, she's out.
Eddie got her head so gassed up,
439
00:17:52,165 --> 00:17:54,333
she don't know which way is up.
440
00:17:54,334 --> 00:17:58,471
We don't need or want
her auto-tuned ass.
441
00:17:58,472 --> 00:18:00,039
- LUCIOUS: Amen.
- COOKIE: We got our babies,
442
00:18:00,040 --> 00:18:01,707
Jamal and Hakeem.
443
00:18:01,708 --> 00:18:04,477
- TBD decided to stay with Eddie.
- Of course they did.
444
00:18:04,478 --> 00:18:06,493
They struggling to stay
relevant, old hags.
445
00:18:06,494 --> 00:18:07,380
(LUCIOUS LAUGHS)
446
00:18:07,381 --> 00:18:08,781
(BARKS)
447
00:18:08,782 --> 00:18:10,383
COOKIE: We gave them Marmadukes
448
00:18:10,384 --> 00:18:13,486
- a-a second life.
- (LAUGHS) Marmaduke.
449
00:18:13,487 --> 00:18:15,187
They need to be kissing our feet.
450
00:18:15,188 --> 00:18:17,223
You guys, you have to see this.
451
00:18:17,224 --> 00:18:18,424
It's Blake's father.
452
00:18:18,425 --> 00:18:21,827
Got this hip-hoppety guy,
Licorice Lyon,
453
00:18:21,828 --> 00:18:23,329
got our young people talking,
454
00:18:23,330 --> 00:18:25,564
- dressing like thugs.
- HOST: It's hit pretty close
455
00:18:25,565 --> 00:18:27,867
- to home for you, hasn't it?
- Done filled my son Blake's head
456
00:18:27,868 --> 00:18:29,835
with so much stuff, he don't
know he's white anymore.
457
00:18:29,836 --> 00:18:31,704
- All right, all right.
- How the hell did he get in here?
458
00:18:31,705 --> 00:18:33,372
We get to hear my side
of the story now?
459
00:18:33,373 --> 00:18:35,674
Jason, can you get
this guy a-a microphone?
460
00:18:35,675 --> 00:18:38,044
What do you want to say
to your father, hmm?
461
00:18:38,045 --> 00:18:40,379
BLAKE: You know, that picture you saw,
462
00:18:40,380 --> 00:18:43,816
yeah, that's me, in front
of his broken down house.
463
00:18:43,817 --> 00:18:46,318
My hand is raised because
he told me to raise it.
464
00:18:46,319 --> 00:18:47,887
He said it would make me look
465
00:18:47,888 --> 00:18:50,056
like I was really his son,
you remember that?
466
00:18:50,057 --> 00:18:51,223
- JACKSON: Yes, I do.
- BLAKE: Yeah.
467
00:18:51,224 --> 00:18:53,859
You know what, Dad?
468
00:18:53,860 --> 00:18:55,828
I would've done anything
469
00:18:55,829 --> 00:19:00,866
for you to treat me like
I was really your son. (SIGHS)
470
00:19:00,867 --> 00:19:03,569
Until the next day. Yeah.
471
00:19:03,570 --> 00:19:07,306
When you took me to that crazy
rally with those crazy racists.
472
00:19:07,307 --> 00:19:09,542
- (AUDIENCE EXCLAIMING)
- I went back
473
00:19:09,543 --> 00:19:11,410
to my mom's house that night,
and I ain't seen
474
00:19:11,411 --> 00:19:13,079
or heard from this dude...
475
00:19:13,080 --> 00:19:15,948
- in the 15 years since then!
- Boy!
476
00:19:15,949 --> 00:19:19,785
(BOTH SHOUTING)
477
00:19:19,786 --> 00:19:21,387
You don't know who...
478
00:19:21,388 --> 00:19:25,591
Keem, make sure he's
at the rent party.
479
00:19:25,592 --> 00:19:27,893
You believe him?
480
00:19:27,894 --> 00:19:29,895
I do.
481
00:19:30,964 --> 00:19:33,065
- Um...
- Does it matter?
482
00:19:33,066 --> 00:19:36,802
I mean, that video's about
to go viral right now.
483
00:19:36,803 --> 00:19:38,971
I mean, we over here struggling
to stay alive.
484
00:19:38,972 --> 00:19:41,574
You know how many viewers
that's gonna bring in?
485
00:19:41,575 --> 00:19:43,542
- Think about it.
- (SIGHS)
486
00:19:43,543 --> 00:19:45,945
You know what, speaking of viral,
487
00:19:45,946 --> 00:19:49,982
there's one more act
that we need up on that stage.
488
00:19:52,819 --> 00:19:54,920
Hey. I want to see you.
489
00:19:54,921 --> 00:19:56,422
Excuse me.
490
00:20:02,729 --> 00:20:04,563
Drink this.
491
00:20:05,999 --> 00:20:07,333
I need your band.
492
00:20:07,334 --> 00:20:10,436
My tour band? All right.
493
00:20:10,437 --> 00:20:11,937
No, your real band.
494
00:20:11,938 --> 00:20:15,507
That little Fortress of Solitude
band you hide behind.
495
00:20:18,845 --> 00:20:20,980
Someone tell you? How'd you find out?
496
00:20:22,816 --> 00:20:26,152
Maybe it's the vibrato you put
at the end of your long notes
497
00:20:26,153 --> 00:20:29,622
or was it that extra deep breath
498
00:20:29,623 --> 00:20:31,857
you take before your chorus?
499
00:20:31,858 --> 00:20:33,159
Which one do you think?
500
00:20:33,160 --> 00:20:36,328
All right, you got me.
501
00:20:37,898 --> 00:20:40,799
As far as bringing my band,
the answer is no.
502
00:20:40,800 --> 00:20:43,135
Really?
503
00:20:46,973 --> 00:20:49,875
Everybody in this world
right now wants
504
00:20:49,876 --> 00:20:52,745
to know who is this mystery band.
505
00:20:52,746 --> 00:20:55,181
Now, if we reveal you
at the rent party,
506
00:20:55,182 --> 00:20:58,184
can you imagine how many viewers
are gonna tune in?
507
00:20:58,185 --> 00:21:00,819
Yeah, I can.
508
00:21:00,820 --> 00:21:03,689
It's a shame you didn't realize
that before you called it junk.
509
00:21:03,690 --> 00:21:05,524
No, it's not about what I think.
510
00:21:05,525 --> 00:21:07,593
It's about you helping
the family when we need you.
511
00:21:07,594 --> 00:21:10,563
I am helping the family.
512
00:21:10,564 --> 00:21:12,698
So either accept me performing solo
513
00:21:12,699 --> 00:21:14,233
or don't accept me performing solo
514
00:21:14,234 --> 00:21:17,102
and I'll still do it,
because I help the family.
515
00:21:24,044 --> 00:21:25,544
Dad, don't you miss it?
516
00:21:25,545 --> 00:21:27,513
Huh? Not making music
517
00:21:27,514 --> 00:21:31,050
for-for ticket sales or units
sold or anything like that.
518
00:21:31,051 --> 00:21:34,553
Just making music.
519
00:21:34,554 --> 00:21:36,121
