1
00:00:00,081 --> 00:00:02,398
- Previously on Empire...
- Empire XStream...
2
00:00:02,399 --> 00:00:04,037
We are taking over the world!
3
00:00:04,122 --> 00:00:05,989
I do the music, you handle the business,
4
00:00:06,058 --> 00:00:07,674
and we stay out of each other's way.
5
00:00:07,709 --> 00:00:09,020
I know you're working on
the Black & White album.
6
00:00:09,044 --> 00:00:10,060
I'm shelving it.
7
00:00:10,128 --> 00:00:11,344
African-American men,
8
00:00:11,380 --> 00:00:13,380
the primary victims in gun violence.
9
00:00:13,432 --> 00:00:15,215
If anybody's a victim, it's Freda Gatz.
10
00:00:15,300 --> 00:00:16,383
I'm Zeah, Mr. Lyon.
11
00:00:16,435 --> 00:00:17,745
I'm gonna be an MC, just like you.
12
00:00:17,769 --> 00:00:19,869
Cookie, you should come
down to the center sometime.
13
00:00:19,938 --> 00:00:20,870
I can't get onstage.
14
00:00:20,939 --> 00:00:22,339
I can't do it no more.
15
00:00:22,407 --> 00:00:24,908
You got one job in this
house and that's a mother.
16
00:00:24,977 --> 00:00:27,100
Tariq, he may be your half brother,
17
00:00:27,101 --> 00:00:28,278
but he is not your friend.
18
00:00:28,347 --> 00:00:30,225
- Step away from the car.
- Sir, I live right there.
19
00:00:40,425 --> 00:00:41,825
Hey, Lucious.
20
00:00:41,893 --> 00:00:43,026
Can we talk?
21
00:00:43,095 --> 00:00:45,662
Door is open. Come on in.
22
00:00:50,435 --> 00:00:52,002
Hey.
23
00:00:52,070 --> 00:00:55,572
You still, uh, obsessing over
these streaming numbers?
24
00:00:55,641 --> 00:00:57,073
Well, the board has determined
25
00:00:57,142 --> 00:00:59,676
that if I don't get to
ten million subscribers
26
00:00:59,745 --> 00:01:01,411
by Thursday, they want to pull the plug
27
00:01:01,480 --> 00:01:04,080
which means I lose $50 million.
28
00:01:04,149 --> 00:01:05,448
What's on your mind?
29
00:01:05,517 --> 00:01:07,461
I'm like a prisoner in this house.
30
00:01:08,287 --> 00:01:09,953
Come on, with
nothing to look forward to.
31
00:01:10,022 --> 00:01:12,722
You call looking after my
granddaughter nothing?
32
00:01:12,791 --> 00:01:14,357
You ain't gonna get much sympathy
33
00:01:14,426 --> 00:01:16,893
from anybody about this
shack you calling a prison.
34
00:01:16,962 --> 00:01:18,895
No, that's not what I mean, Lucious.
35
00:01:18,930 --> 00:01:21,517
Look, I know that we
have had our differences,
36
00:01:21,585 --> 00:01:24,820
but, I know that Cookie's looking
for a new head of A&R.
37
00:01:24,889 --> 00:01:27,517
And you know that that
is never going to happen,
38
00:01:27,518 --> 00:01:29,291
so you need to just...
39
00:01:29,360 --> 00:01:30,659
Lucious?
40
00:01:32,596 --> 00:01:33,929
Are you okay?
41
00:01:34,611 --> 00:01:36,700
Oh, my God, do you need
me to call a doctor?
42
00:01:37,182 --> 00:01:39,373
Mm.
43
00:01:39,374 --> 00:01:41,699
No, I looked everywhere
44
00:01:41,768 --> 00:01:44,088
and I couldn't find
my earring under there.
45
00:01:44,089 --> 00:01:45,058
Damn.
46
00:01:45,444 --> 00:01:47,424
Maybe you can look for it later.
47
00:01:47,492 --> 00:01:50,260
Oh, Pia, you remember your old boss,
48
00:01:50,329 --> 00:01:51,739
Anika.
49
00:01:51,895 --> 00:01:53,396
I like your assistant.
50
00:01:53,465 --> 00:01:54,564
Pia, will you be a doll
51
00:01:54,633 --> 00:01:55,999
and get Cho in here?
52
00:01:56,068 --> 00:01:57,934
I need to see the new
Empire XStream artwork.
53
00:01:59,762 --> 00:02:01,995
Keep putting your back
into that work of yours.
54
00:02:03,399 --> 00:02:05,532
Ooh.
55
00:02:05,601 --> 00:02:09,169
Look what I found.
56
00:02:16,762 --> 00:02:22,763
- Synced and corrected by VitoSilans -
-- www.MY-SUBS.com --
57
00:02:23,862 --> 00:02:25,995
I mean, Empire
XStream is bleeding out.
58
00:02:26,064 --> 00:02:28,365
Our main asset is exclusive content
59
00:02:28,433 --> 00:02:29,366
and I don't have it.
60
00:02:29,434 --> 00:02:30,800
I need five new songs
61
00:02:30,869 --> 00:02:32,149
- by the end of this week.
- Man,
62
00:02:32,204 --> 00:02:34,971
I cannot get you five new
songs by the end of this...
63
00:02:35,040 --> 00:02:35,972
What is that?
64
00:02:36,041 --> 00:02:36,973
Incentive.
65
00:02:37,042 --> 00:02:39,042
You are gonna give a car to whoever
66
00:02:39,111 --> 00:02:41,978
can deliver a new song
that's ready to drop by this Friday.
67
00:02:42,047 --> 00:02:44,447
And while you're at it, tell your son
68
00:02:44,516 --> 00:02:46,282
that I'm releasing
his Black & White album.
69
00:02:46,351 --> 00:02:49,285
Jamal does not want that
album released, Lucious.
70
00:02:49,354 --> 00:02:50,954
He done told you that a million times.
71
00:02:51,022 --> 00:02:53,234
Well, I don't care. He can
tell me a million more.
72
00:02:53,258 --> 00:02:54,524
Look, Cookie, if you with me
73
00:02:54,593 --> 00:02:56,393
with this business, 50/50,
74
00:02:56,461 --> 00:02:57,994
then you're gonna get me those songs.
75
00:02:58,063 --> 00:03:00,997
Okay. Sure.
76
00:03:01,066 --> 00:03:03,466
I'll get on it tomorrow, after
my lunch with Angelo.
77
00:03:03,535 --> 00:03:06,236
What are you seeing
in that Oreo, anyway?
78
00:03:06,304 --> 00:03:08,805
I'm being proactive in the community.
79
00:03:08,874 --> 00:03:12,008
I'm going to meet some of the
WOKE kids from his foundation.
80
00:03:12,077 --> 00:03:14,811
So he can warm your heart with
how good he is with these kids.
81
00:03:14,880 --> 00:03:18,085
He might warm something
else later.
82
00:03:18,576 --> 00:03:20,528
Everything's under control, Mom.
83
00:03:20,552 --> 00:03:22,152
He's coming out!
84
00:03:22,220 --> 00:03:23,653
Yeah, I-I got... I got Max with me.
85
00:03:23,722 --> 00:03:25,755
Max Perkins.
86
00:03:25,824 --> 00:03:27,735
- Andre!
- Can we get a comment, please?
87
00:03:27,759 --> 00:03:29,058
Over here, please!
88
00:03:29,127 --> 00:03:30,527
- Over here!
- Andre Lyon!
89
00:03:30,595 --> 00:03:32,262
Mr. Lyon, can you tell us what happened?
90
00:03:34,099 --> 00:03:35,732
Okay, okay.
91
00:03:35,801 --> 00:03:38,501
Do exactly what we
discussed a few minutes ago.
92
00:03:38,570 --> 00:03:40,281
Don't go all "Black Lives
Matter" on me here, okay?
93
00:03:40,305 --> 00:03:42,071
We're good. Let's go.
94
00:03:44,843 --> 00:03:46,676
This was all a simple misunderstanding.
95
00:03:46,745 --> 00:03:48,322
My client has fully cooperated
with law enforcement,
96
00:03:48,346 --> 00:03:49,579
it will all be cleared up
97
00:03:49,648 --> 00:03:51,392
- in a matter of days. Thank you.
- Your mother and father
98
00:03:51,416 --> 00:03:52,827
have a checkered
history with law enforcement.
99
00:03:52,851 --> 00:03:54,516
Are you just following in
their criminal footsteps?
100
00:03:54,517 --> 00:03:57,098
That's all for now. My client won't
be making any statements. Thank you.
101
00:03:57,122 --> 00:03:59,456
So, are you a gangster now, too, Andre?
102
00:04:04,678 --> 00:04:06,641
What happened to me is what's happening
103
00:04:06,665 --> 00:04:08,298
all across America, right now.
104
00:04:08,366 --> 00:04:09,699
And what's that?
105
00:04:13,138 --> 00:04:15,638
Hey, babe.
106
00:04:15,707 --> 00:04:18,475
Answer her. Come on, she's waiting.
107
00:04:18,543 --> 00:04:21,211
We both know that none of
this would have happened
108
00:04:21,279 --> 00:04:23,112
if I was still here.
109
00:04:29,688 --> 00:04:32,422
I went back to the
bar where it went down,
110
00:04:32,491 --> 00:04:34,157
like you all told me to.
111
00:04:34,226 --> 00:04:36,793
I took my new lady with me.
112
00:04:36,862 --> 00:04:39,357
As soon as we hit the
door, I start shaking.
113
00:04:39,358 --> 00:04:40,508
But you did the breathing?
114
00:04:40,532 --> 00:04:41,998
- Yeah.
- And?
115
00:04:42,067 --> 00:04:43,833
I'm still here.
116
00:04:50,675 --> 00:04:53,776
You all noticed, we have someone
new in group today.
117
00:04:53,845 --> 00:04:55,144
This is Jamal...
118
00:04:55,213 --> 00:04:56,346
Jamal Lyon.
119
00:04:56,414 --> 00:04:57,347
Jamal...
120
00:04:57,415 --> 00:04:58,948
we ask new people to
121
00:04:59,017 --> 00:05:00,783
tell the group what caused their PTSD.
122
00:05:00,852 --> 00:05:03,019
Everybody knows
what happened to Jamal.
123
00:05:03,088 --> 00:05:05,088
They played it over and
over again on the news.
124
00:05:05,156 --> 00:05:06,618
That doesn't matter.
125
00:05:06,619 --> 00:05:09,170
Your fame just creates
another barrier for your recovery
126
00:05:09,194 --> 00:05:11,449
because you have to face your trauma
127
00:05:11,450 --> 00:05:12,695
in front of the world.
128
00:05:12,764 --> 00:05:13,997
It's still PTSD.
129
00:05:14,065 --> 00:05:15,431
Yeah, I'm good.
130
00:05:15,500 --> 00:05:16,933
Um, it's my first time,
131
00:05:17,002 --> 00:05:18,312
so I'm probably just gonna, you know,
132
00:05:18,336 --> 00:05:19,369
lay low and listen.
133
00:05:19,437 --> 00:05:21,271
But thank you.
134
00:05:22,374 --> 00:05:23,540
Okay.
135
00:05:23,608 --> 00:05:26,042
Hey, Jamal. Hey! Hey.
136
00:05:26,111 --> 00:05:28,811
Look, what happened
inside, that wasn't cool.
137
00:05:28,880 --> 00:05:30,213
That's not how we do things.
138
00:05:30,282 --> 00:05:32,181
They
all know what happened,
139
00:05:32,250 --> 00:05:33,861
so it's no sense in
frontin' like they don't.
140
00:05:33,885 --> 00:05:35,184
Let me ask you something, man.
141
00:05:35,253 --> 00:05:37,086
Are you still taking any pain meds?
142
00:05:37,211 --> 00:05:38,021
Yeah.
143
00:05:38,089 --> 00:05:40,623
I was hoping to be off
of them by now, but, um,
144
00:05:40,692 --> 00:05:42,061
I'm not, so...
145
00:05:42,188 --> 00:05:43,604
It's nothing to be ashamed about.
146
00:05:43,628 --> 00:05:44,961
When a soldier gets shot...
147
00:05:45,030 --> 00:05:46,396
I'm not a soldier.
148
00:05:46,464 --> 00:05:48,031
You were in the military, right?
149
00:05:48,099 --> 00:05:49,832
- Um, Major Philip Barrett?
- You got shot.
150
00:05:49,901 --> 00:05:52,669
Your PTSD is no less
significant than mine.
151
00:05:52,737 --> 00:05:55,638
If you need treatment, man...
152
00:05:55,707 --> 00:05:58,675
Um, I came here, you know, just to...
153
00:05:58,743 --> 00:06:00,076
kind of, test the waters.
154
00:06:00,145 --> 00:06:02,078
And, uh, it actually worked.
155
00:06:02,147 --> 00:06:03,379
A lot, you know? All right.
156
00:06:03,448 --> 00:06:04,725
And at this point, I kind of feel like
157
00:06:04,749 --> 00:06:06,627
I know how to manage
this. Which is, it's great.
158
00:06:06,651 --> 00:06:08,651
And that's... that's
'cause of y'all, so thank you.
159
00:06:13,258 --> 00:06:15,325
Andre!
160
00:06:16,428 --> 00:06:17,727
Hey. Oh.
161
00:06:17,796 --> 00:06:19,762
Let me guess: it was a white cop.
162
00:06:19,831 --> 00:06:21,275
I should've been smarter about it, okay?
163
00:06:21,299 --> 00:06:22,443
I know this whole
thing could've turned out
164
00:06:22,467 --> 00:06:23,733
a whole lot differently.
165
00:06:23,802 --> 00:06:25,613
I wouldn't be standing
here with you today, I know.
166
00:06:25,637 --> 00:06:27,737
Nothing you could have done different.
167
00:06:27,806 --> 00:06:29,439
You were born black.
168
00:06:29,507 --> 00:06:30,673
What happened, Andre?
169
00:06:30,742 --> 00:06:32,086
I was clearing out me
and Rhonda's apartment,
170
00:06:32,110 --> 00:06:34,043
- a cop shows up and...
- Mm-hmm.
171
00:06:35,146 --> 00:06:36,446
Look, I gave him attitude.
172
00:06:36,514 --> 00:06:38,225
- No, I don't want to hear that!
- That's some B.S.!
173
00:06:38,249 --> 00:06:39,382
Look,
174
00:06:39,451 --> 00:06:41,084
I'm-a make Thirsty
175
00:06:41,152 --> 00:06:42,396
- take care of these cops.
- Yeah.
176
00:06:42,420 --> 00:06:43,798
- Thirsty?
- Let him look into these charges!
177
00:06:43,822 --> 00:06:45,455
Pop, I-I don't need Thirsty, okay?
178
00:06:45,523 --> 00:06:46,756
I got my own lawyer.
179
00:06:46,825 --> 00:06:49,025
With the FBI watching our every move,
180
00:06:49,094 --> 00:06:50,226
the last thing we need
181
00:06:50,295 --> 00:06:52,362
is Thirsty taking care of anything.
182
00:06:52,430 --> 00:06:54,564
I-I just want to do this the right way.
183
00:06:54,633 --> 00:06:58,234
Andre, the right...
184
00:06:58,303 --> 00:07:00,903
You do realize you're a
black man, right, Andre?
185
00:07:01,580 --> 00:07:05,241
And that was a dirty cop that
did that to your face.
186
00:07:05,310 --> 00:07:08,911
And since this was not
caught on video, it is your word
187
00:07:08,980 --> 00:07:10,446
against theirs, all right?
188
00:07:10,515 --> 00:07:12,215
No, see, the police messed up this time.
189
00:07:12,283 --> 00:07:13,461
They done messed with the wrong ones.
190
00:07:13,485 --> 00:07:14,708
So, we gonna fight fire with fire!
191
00:07:14,709 --> 00:07:15,785
Enough!
192
00:07:21,159 --> 00:07:22,725
I'm a Wharton graduate, Mama.
193
00:07:24,329 --> 00:07:29,632
I'm a CFO of a publically
traded corporation.
194
00:07:29,701 --> 00:07:32,163
I'm not gonna fight fire with fire.
195
00:07:32,164 --> 00:07:33,870
- Andre...
- I'm not doing it!
196
00:07:37,575 --> 00:07:39,909
That boy is headed for
a world of trouble.
197
00:07:47,087 --> 00:07:49,421
Raymond Lewis, aka Gram.
198
00:07:49,507 --> 00:07:51,938
Tiana Brown's new boyfriend...
Ran with the Uptown Mafia
199
00:07:51,939 --> 00:07:53,509
for a minute, now he's a rapper.
200
00:07:53,594 --> 00:07:54,813
Can I get a selfie?
201
00:07:54,814 --> 00:07:57,324
When you get inside,
see if he's still affiliated.
202
00:07:57,348 --> 00:07:59,181
Anything we can get on him, ♪
203
00:07:59,233 --> 00:08:01,483
we might be able to
use against the Lyons.
204
00:08:03,771 --> 00:08:06,488
You want a selfie? No?
205
00:08:06,524 --> 00:08:09,541
I have no idea who that one is.
206
00:08:09,610 --> 00:08:11,193
Porsha Taylor, Cookie Lyon's assistant.
207
00:08:11,245 --> 00:08:12,361
Don't waste your time.
208
00:08:12,413 --> 00:08:14,112
So, don't nobody know who I am?
209
00:08:14,198 --> 00:08:16,114
Nobody knows Porsha?
210
00:08:16,200 --> 00:08:18,617
That's cool. That's cool.
211
00:08:18,702 --> 00:08:20,335
I got a question, sir.
212
00:08:20,371 --> 00:08:23,872
Lucious Lyon was cleared
of all charges last year.
213
00:08:23,958 --> 00:08:25,174
What's this really about?
214
00:08:25,242 --> 00:08:26,308
Lyon beat the case
215
00:08:26,377 --> 00:08:28,210
because it was mishandled.
216
00:08:28,262 --> 00:08:30,128
All I have to do now is build a new case
217
00:08:30,214 --> 00:08:31,964
based on new charges.
218
00:08:32,032 --> 00:08:33,966
Knowing Lucious Lyon the way I do,
219
00:08:34,051 --> 00:08:36,969
I have plenty to choose from.
220
00:08:47,231 --> 00:08:50,232

when I was dying from ALS.
246
00:09:42,119 --> 00:09:43,252
Thanks, Dad.
247
00:09:43,287 --> 00:09:44,764
I thought you went to the doctors today.
248
00:09:44,788 --> 00:09:47,422
I went to a, um, PTSD group.
249
00:09:47,458 --> 00:09:48,457
PTSD?
250
00:09:48,542 --> 00:09:49,982
It was stupid. Don't worry about it.
251
00:09:50,044 --> 00:09:52,272
Yeah, I could have saved you
the time if you had asked me.
252
00:09:52,296 --> 00:09:54,710
Look, the only thing
that's gonna fix your problem
253
00:09:54,712 --> 00:09:56,298
is get your ass back on that stage.
254
00:09:56,383 --> 00:09:57,611
I'm going into
the studio next week.
255
00:09:57,635 --> 00:09:58,984
I'm gonna record some new stuff.
256
00:09:59,053 --> 00:10:01,937
Being in the studio ain't the
same as being on the stage.
257
00:10:01,972 --> 00:10:03,783
If you don't give these
fans something to look at,

you're gonna lose 'em.

00:10:05,392 --> 00:10:06,942

Listen, I know that he's
foul, or whatever,
272
00:10:41,845 --> 00:10:43,206
but you need to just forget about it.
273
00:10:43,230 --> 00:10:45,814
I'm-a beat his ass,
man. That's my girl, man!
274
00:10:45,849 --> 00:10:48,183
- Had me an affair one.
- That ain't your girl.
275
00:10:48,268 --> 00:10:50,163
- That's my girl!
- Since when is it your girl, Hakeem.
276
00:10:50,187 --> 00:10:51,381
Now, calm your ass down, 'cause fighting
277
00:10:51,405 --> 00:10:52,821
ain't never helped nothing.
278
00:10:52,856 --> 00:10:54,439
Your brother's absolutely right.
279
00:10:54,508 --> 00:10:56,775
It's pointless to
clap back at Gram cracker
280
00:10:56,860 --> 00:10:58,827
unless you're gonna finish him.
281
00:10:58,862 --> 00:11:00,529
You're the Lyon, he's not.
282
00:11:00,581 --> 00:11:03,215
Why don't you spit
some napalm on a diss track,
283
00:11:03,283 --> 00:11:06,702
and bury him and everything
he cares about?
284
00:11:06,754 --> 00:11:08,620
Y'all go ahead and do that.
285
00:11:10,874 --> 00:11:14,343
See, if you've got something
you want to say to someone,
286
00:11:14,411 --> 00:11:16,712
let the world hear you say it.
287
00:11:20,784 --> 00:11:23,051
So, Randal, what
I'm gonna need from you is...
288
00:11:23,103 --> 00:11:24,469
Mom, no. I...
289
00:11:24,538 --> 00:11:26,304
Get your ass in here.
290
00:11:26,390 --> 00:11:29,307
Wait. Seriously,
Kitty? How did you do this?
291
00:11:29,393 --> 00:11:30,954
Look, boy, don't you question how I make
292
00:11:30,978 --> 00:11:32,527
my black girl magic happen.
293
00:11:32,563 --> 00:11:34,896
I'm gonna cure you of this PTSD.
294
00:11:34,982 --> 00:11:36,531
- Okay, you ready? All right.
- Okay.
295
00:11:36,567 --> 00:11:37,899
Kitty!
296
00:11:37,951 --> 00:11:39,901
Baby, come on down
297
00:11:39,953 --> 00:11:41,703
with your fabulous self... Look at you!
298
00:11:41,739 --> 00:11:43,049
Come on, come on, come on, come on.
299
00:11:43,073 --> 00:11:44,406
These shoes.
300
00:11:45,909 --> 00:11:48,410
Girl, ain't nothing
changed. Look at you!
301
00:11:48,495 --> 00:11:50,328
You look gorgeous, as always.
302
00:11:50,414 --> 00:11:51,913
- And look at this.
- Nah...
303
00:11:51,999 --> 00:11:53,582
- Oh, stop.
- I...
304
00:11:53,667 --> 00:11:55,250
don't even know what to say right now.
305
00:11:55,335 --> 00:11:58,253
Un, well, I think you
should say yes, right, Kitty?
306
00:11:58,338 --> 00:12:00,338
Yes. Yes, yes.
307
00:12:00,424 --> 00:12:03,175
- Yes.
- Uh... Hell... yes.
308
00:12:03,260 --> 00:12:04,487
What did...
309
00:12:04,511 --> 00:12:06,094
What did I just say yes to?
310
00:12:06,180 --> 00:12:07,729
I don't care, but...
311
00:12:07,765 --> 00:12:09,824
Uh, well, Kitty, why don't you tell him.
312
00:12:09,984 --> 00:12:13,101
Okay. So this beautiful lady, your mom,
313
00:12:13,153 --> 00:12:15,570
had an idea... I'm here rehearsing.
314
00:12:15,606 --> 00:12:17,689
Getting ready to go on
a South American tour,
315
00:12:17,775 --> 00:12:19,274
and I want you with me,
316
00:12:19,326 --> 00:12:21,193
because we found a
song that's perfect for us.
317
00:12:21,278 --> 00:12:23,745
I just want to sing with you, and
I think it would be amazing.
318
00:12:23,781 --> 00:12:26,882
It's hot, Jamal. It's hot!
319
00:12:26,950 --> 00:12:28,867
I...
320
00:12:28,952 --> 00:12:32,921
I'm not really performing
right now... just yet.
321
00:12:36,627 --> 00:12:39,377
Um... okay.
322
00:12:39,463 --> 00:12:41,990
- I'm gonna go back to rehearsal.
- Yeah, just let me talk
323
00:12:42,015 --> 00:12:43,159
- to him for a second.
- Just call me when... Yeah.
324
00:12:43,183 --> 00:12:45,884
No, no, no, let me talk to
him for a second. Come here!
325
00:12:45,969 --> 00:12:47,302
Get your stupid ass...
326
00:12:47,387 --> 00:12:50,138
- Well...
- Watch your step.
327
00:12:50,224 --> 00:12:51,440
Boy, your father was right.
328
00:12:51,475 --> 00:12:53,125
The number of performance requests
329
00:12:53,193 --> 00:12:56,978
I'm getting for you has dropped to half.
330
00:12:57,030 --> 00:12:59,147
I ain't ready yet, all right?
331
00:12:59,233 --> 00:13:00,816
I'm not.
332
00:13:00,868 --> 00:13:02,234
Look...
333
00:13:02,319 --> 00:13:04,402
Kitty even said we have the live rights
334
00:13:04,488 --> 00:13:07,239
to Empire XStream, okay?
335
00:13:07,324 --> 00:13:09,424
And I thought that
would keep your father
336
00:13:09,493 --> 00:13:11,827
off of releasing that
Black & White album of yours.
337
00:13:14,498 --> 00:13:16,748
All right. Kitty...
338
00:13:19,002 --> 00:13:21,470
I have a proposition for you.
339
00:13:21,505 --> 00:13:24,005
Okay.
340
00:13:25,676 --> 00:13:29,344
Wait... you want me
to record for Empire?
341
00:13:30,681 --> 00:13:32,180
You didn't think I brought you here
342
00:13:32,266 --> 00:13:33,932
to have tea, did you?
343
00:13:34,017 --> 00:13:36,434
Look, I caught your performance
at the summit.
344
00:13:36,503 --> 00:13:38,047
It's about the only
thing that kept me awake
345
00:13:38,071 --> 00:13:39,821
during them boring-ass speeches.
346
00:13:39,857 --> 00:13:42,524
So unless you think
Angelo's gonna mind...
347
00:13:46,280 --> 00:13:49,281
- I don't think so.
- Good, son.
348
00:13:49,366 --> 00:13:50,499
Let's go make some music.
349
00:13:55,556 --> 00:13:57,289
Dad...
350
00:13:57,374 --> 00:13:59,102
now, I specifically said that
the Black & White album
351
00:13:59,126 --> 00:14:00,458
is not to be released.
352
00:14:00,544 --> 00:14:02,460
Yeah, well, Empire
spent a whole lot of money
353
00:14:02,546 --> 00:14:04,379
on that joint, and we need to recoup.
354
00:14:04,431 --> 00:14:07,632
Besides that, Empire XStream needs it.
355
00:14:07,718 --> 00:14:11,419
Oh, God, do you ever
not mention Empire XStream?
356
00:14:11,488 --> 00:14:13,205
It happens to be a ravenous beast
357
00:14:13,273 --> 00:14:15,357
that is the lifeblood of this company.
358
00:14:15,392 --> 00:14:17,309
So if we don't feed it some content,
359
00:14:17,394 --> 00:14:19,377
it's gonna consume
each and every one of us.
360
00:14:19,446 --> 00:14:20,695
Okay, we get it.
361
00:14:20,731 --> 00:14:21,897
You are a vampire.
362
00:14:23,233 --> 00:14:25,200
So let me bring you a freshly slit vein
363
00:14:25,235 --> 00:14:27,569
for your liking... Kitty.
364
00:14:27,621 --> 00:14:30,739
Delicious. Keep bleeding.
365
00:14:30,807 --> 00:14:33,092
She agreed to record a duet with me,
366
00:14:33,093 --> 00:14:35,455
and live-stream the
session as exclusive content
367
00:14:35,479 --> 00:14:36,745
to Empire XStream.
368
00:14:36,797 --> 00:14:38,713
Wow, a collaboration like
that would bring in
369
00:14:38,749 --> 00:14:40,498
a whole lot of subscriptions.
370
00:14:40,584 --> 00:14:42,250
Yes, it would.
371
00:14:42,302 --> 00:14:44,336
So...
372
00:14:44,421 --> 00:14:46,271
the Black & White album.
373
00:14:48,342 --> 00:14:49,507
Dead.
374
00:14:49,593 --> 00:14:50,926
Thank you, sir.
375
00:14:50,978 --> 00:14:53,094
Thank you.
376
00:14:53,146 --> 00:14:55,096
And you're welcome.
377
00:14:57,267 --> 00:14:59,384
Very nice.
378
00:14:59,453 --> 00:15:01,069
Is that all you think about?
379
00:15:01,104 --> 00:15:04,356
Crunching numbers and bottom lines?
380
00:15:04,441 --> 00:15:06,641
What else is left for me, Cookie?
381
00:15:09,162 --> 00:15:12,232
Jamal was right. You are a vampire.
382
00:15:12,233 --> 00:15:14,310
Then why don't you let me
suck on some of your blood?
383
00:15:14,334 --> 00:15:16,451
Drop dead, Lucious.
384
00:15:16,536 --> 00:15:17,586
I can't.
385
00:15:17,621 --> 00:15:19,921
I'm a vampire.

00:15:42,646 --> 00:15:43,979
Now we just need the hook.
398
00:15:44,064 --> 00:15:45,814
It's legendary.
399
00:15:47,234 --> 00:15:48,984
- Nessa, you ready?
- Not really, Shine.
400
00:15:49,069 --> 00:15:50,046
I mean, are we really about to do this?
401
00:15:50,070 --> 00:15:51,235
Yeah, what are you talking about?
402
00:15:51,236 --> 00:15:53,466
I'm really about to go in
here and talk about this girl?
403
00:15:53,490 --> 00:15:54,990
What's the matter?
404
00:15:55,075 --> 00:15:56,741
I get it.
405
00:15:56,827 --> 00:15:58,493
You mad at your ex, Keem.
406
00:15:58,545 --> 00:16:00,278
But disrespecting her is not my jam.
407
00:16:00,347 --> 00:16:01,997
No, your jam is in that booth.
408
00:16:02,049 --> 00:16:03,748
Now, get your ass in there and sing.
409
00:16:08,672 --> 00:16:10,672
Who you looking at crazy!
410
00:16:10,757 --> 00:16:13,174
Yo, man, chill!
411
00:16:18,565 --> 00:16:19,681
Nessa, come here.
412
00:16:25,155 --> 00:16:27,572
Wow, really?
413
00:16:32,353 --> 00:16:34,644
So Shine laid hands on Nessa
414
00:16:34,724 --> 00:16:37,088
'cause she didn't want to do the hook?
415
00:16:37,140 --> 00:16:38,450
And?
416
00:16:38,451 --> 00:16:40,786
Dad, he just put his
hands on her for no reason.
417
00:16:40,810 --> 00:16:42,977
- Are you sleeping with her?
- What?
418
00:16:43,062 --> 00:16:44,206
No, I ain't sleeping with her.
419
00:16:44,230 --> 00:16:45,980
Then it ain't your fight.
420
00:16:46,065 --> 00:16:48,516
Look...
421
00:16:48,601 --> 00:16:50,568
the way I see it, Shine was trying
422
00:16:50,603 --> 00:16:52,653
to get me something that I need,
423
00:16:52,739 --> 00:16:54,188
which is a hot song.
424
00:16:54,274 --> 00:16:55,656
So instead of you running in here
425
00:16:55,725 --> 00:16:57,165
ratting him out like a little bitch,
426
00:16:57,243 --> 00:16:58,826
you need to be taking notes.
427
00:16:58,912 --> 00:17:02,246
I mean, what in the
hell happened to that monster
428
00:17:02,282 --> 00:17:03,915
who tried to take his father out
429
00:17:03,950 --> 00:17:05,449
and rule his throne?
430
00:17:05,501 --> 00:17:07,501
Hmm? Where he at?
431
00:17:07,587 --> 00:17:09,503
I ain't choking no girl.
432
00:17:09,589 --> 00:17:10,671
That's bitch tendencies.
433
00:17:12,091 --> 00:17:13,257
Where he at?
434
00:17:13,293 --> 00:17:15,509
He never left.
435
00:17:17,297 --> 00:17:19,297
'Cause that's who I want
to see raising Bella.
436
00:17:19,349 --> 00:17:21,449
Your song don't work
437
00:17:21,517 --> 00:17:24,185
without a female voice for the hook.
438
00:17:24,270 --> 00:17:27,555
So I don't know what the
hell you're doing standing here.
439
00:17:27,640 --> 00:17:29,774
You need to get me that song.
440
00:17:37,367 --> 00:17:39,951
I just saw Juanita holding Bella.
441
00:17:39,986 --> 00:17:41,630
Aren't you supposed to
be looking after her?
442
00:17:41,654 --> 00:17:44,655
Aren't you supposed to
be sedated... or dead?
443
00:17:44,724 --> 00:17:48,459
My mama used to stick
pins in a voodoo doll
444
00:17:48,494 --> 00:17:50,294
that looked just like you.
445
00:17:51,547 --> 00:17:52,663
Excuse me.
446
00:17:52,715 --> 00:17:55,583
I will go get it.
447
00:17:58,504 --> 00:17:59,971
- Hi.
- Hi.
448
00:18:00,006 --> 00:18:01,672
Delivery for Mrs. Lucious Lyon.
449
00:18:01,724 --> 00:18:03,975
Oh, yeah, that's me. Thanks.
450
00:18:10,817 --> 00:18:12,817
- Thank you.
- Thank you.
451
00:18:23,196 --> 00:18:24,612
God...
452
00:18:29,168 --> 00:18:31,836
Mr. Dubois?
453
00:18:31,871 --> 00:18:33,671
Oh, there you are.
454
00:18:33,706 --> 00:18:34,755
Hey!
455
00:18:34,841 --> 00:18:36,924
Hey.
456
00:18:39,212 --> 00:18:41,445
So, what, a black kid's life is worth
457
00:18:41,514 --> 00:18:42,680
a couple of bucks and a car?
458
00:18:42,715 --> 00:18:43,798
What?
459
00:18:47,553 --> 00:18:49,970
This young man barely
escapes with his life.
460
00:18:50,056 --> 00:18:53,224
He's on his way to
MIT, full scholarship.
461
00:18:53,276 --> 00:18:54,703
And you want him to throw all that out
462
00:18:54,727 --> 00:18:56,777
for a contract to be a rapper?
463
00:18:56,863 --> 00:18:59,613
The world doesn't need another rapper.
464
00:18:59,699 --> 00:19:01,365
Lucious...
465
00:19:01,401 --> 00:19:04,869
Lucious did that so that
you could be pissed at me.
466
00:19:04,904 --> 00:19:06,037
Are you for real?
467
00:19:06,072 --> 00:19:08,122
Yeah. That's how he plays, dirty.
468
00:19:08,207 --> 00:19:09,768
All right, well, I don't
care about all that.
469
00:19:09,792 --> 00:19:11,876
This kid's future is bright.
470
00:19:11,911 --> 00:19:14,328
So whatever y'all did to tempt him,
471
00:19:14,414 --> 00:19:15,463
you need to undo it.
472
00:19:15,548 --> 00:19:17,915
- Oh, I do, do I?
- Yeah.
473
00:19:17,967 --> 00:19:20,084
- Undo it.
- Do you know how many kids
474
00:19:20,136 --> 00:19:22,176
would kill to have a
recording contract with Empire?
475
00:19:22,255 --> 00:19:24,422
Yes, I know, because I see it every day.
476
00:19:24,474 --> 00:19:26,590
That's what I'm trying to change.
477
00:19:26,642 --> 00:19:28,809
These kids need to know
that they can aspire to be more
478
00:19:28,895 --> 00:19:31,562
than a rapper or an athlete or a...
479
00:19:31,597 --> 00:19:34,098
a hustler.
480
00:19:34,150 --> 00:19:35,850
Boy, bye.
481
00:19:37,653 --> 00:19:39,687
All right, wait. I'm sorry, wait!
482
00:19:41,157 --> 00:19:42,440
I'm sorry.
483
00:19:42,492 --> 00:19:44,241
That wasn't...
484
00:19:44,277 --> 00:19:46,410
Just, can you...
485
00:19:46,446 --> 00:19:48,696
I need you to see what I'm trying
to do with these kids.
486
00:19:52,452 --> 00:19:54,051
Please.
487
00:19:58,424 --> 00:20:00,124
This is the Black Girls Code seminar.
488
00:20:00,176 --> 00:20:01,542
Zeah's a mentor.
489
00:20:01,627 --> 00:20:04,011
- Black Girls Code?
- Yeah.
490
00:20:04,097 --> 00:20:05,296
In computing alone,
491
00:20:05,348 --> 00:20:07,146
there are over a
million jobs in the U.S.
492
00:20:07,147 --> 00:20:08,263
People don't know that.
493
00:20:08,264 --> 00:20:10,885
So all these girls here,
they live in Zeah's neighborhood,
494
00:20:10,970 --> 00:20:12,019
they look up to him.
495
00:20:12,105 --> 00:20:13,804
Good.
496
00:20:15,308 --> 00:20:16,974
All right, see, this is the future.
497
00:20:17,026 --> 00:20:18,976
This right here.
498
00:20:19,028 --> 00:20:20,561
This is how we rise.
499
00:20:25,651 --> 00:20:27,118
This is a misdemeanor,
500
00:20:27,153 --> 00:20:28,764
and you own the home you
were coming out of.
501
00:20:28,788 --> 00:20:30,868
We should be out of here in
five minutes at the most.
502
00:20:31,324 --> 00:20:33,157
Out in five?
503
00:20:33,209 --> 00:20:34,625
Damn...
504
00:20:34,660 --> 00:20:37,211
I came ready to bust you
out of this joint, man.
505
00:20:37,296 --> 00:20:39,046
What y'all doing here?
506
00:20:39,132 --> 00:20:40,252
I told you this was nothing.
507
00:20:40,333 --> 00:20:41,582
Shut up, Dre.
508
00:20:41,667 --> 00:20:43,145
We're gonna take your jailbird ass out
509
00:20:43,169 --> 00:20:44,585
out to eat after this.
510
00:20:44,670 --> 00:20:46,086
All rise!
511
00:20:46,172 --> 00:20:49,089
The Honorable Judge
Barbara Reid presiding.
512
00:20:49,175 --> 00:20:50,307
Court is now in session.
513
00:20:50,343 --> 00:20:51,809
Be seated.
514
00:20:55,148 --> 00:20:56,730
Let's go, that's us.
515
00:21:03,072 --> 00:21:04,772
Andre Lyon...
516
00:21:04,857 --> 00:21:06,841
the charges against you are one count
517
00:21:06,909 --> 00:21:08,275
criminal trespassing.
518
00:21:08,344 --> 00:21:09,994
My client pleads not guilty, Your Honor.
519
00:21:10,062 --> 00:21:12,129
I'm not finished, Counselor.
520
00:21:12,198 --> 00:21:14,915
The defendant is also
charged with felony battery,
521
00:21:15,001 --> 00:21:18,786
aggravated assault, and
assault against a police officer.
522
00:21:18,855 --> 00:21:20,004
Your Honor, I...
523
00:21:20,039 --> 00:21:21,205
Step back!
524
00:21:23,930 --> 00:21:25,654
Your Honor, I didn't assault anybody.
525
00:21:25,678 --> 00:21:28,546
That's what a trial is for, Mr. Lyon,
526
00:21:28,614 --> 00:21:30,631
to determine your guilt or innocence.
527
00:21:43,463 --> 00:21:44,823
Yo, so what do all this mean, man?
528
00:21:44,848 --> 00:21:45,825
It means we might just need to
529
00:21:45,849 --> 00:21:46,989
plead out and cut a deal.
530
00:21:46,990 --> 00:21:49,078
I could probably swing
probation if it's your first offense,
531
00:21:49,102 --> 00:21:50,246
- Wait. Wait.
- And eventually, this all goes away...
532
00:21:50,270 --> 00:21:51,636
No, hold the hell up.
533
00:21:51,688 --> 00:21:54,189
What do you mean,
"eventually" and "probation"?
534
00:21:54,257 --> 00:21:56,135
Max, you've known me for a decade.
You were in my wedding.
535
00:21:56,159 --> 00:21:58,593
- Yo, Dre, this dude's an ass.
- Listen.
536
00:21:58,662 --> 00:22:01,396
It... It's your word against a cop's.
537
00:22:01,465 --> 00:22:03,157
But we'll be fine, we
just need to cut a deal.
538
00:22:03,159 --> 00:22:04,550
No.
539
00:22:04,551 --> 00:22:05,945
Hell no. I'm not gonna
lie about being guilty
540
00:22:05,969 --> 00:22:07,035
when I didn't do anything,
541
00:22:07,103 --> 00:22:09,304
except go into my own damn home, Max.
542
00:22:09,372 --> 00:22:11,039
This is insane.
543
00:22:15,812 --> 00:22:17,212
Get in.
544
00:22:21,803 --> 00:22:24,752
Told you that you needed
to let Thirsty handle it,
545
00:22:24,821 --> 00:22:26,261
but you didn't want to listen to me.
546
00:22:26,323 --> 00:22:29,791
So now, congratulations.
You're in the system.
547
00:22:29,860 --> 00:22:33,561
Hey, um, make a
right at the next corner,
548
00:22:33,630 --> 00:22:35,463
and then come to a stop.
549
00:22:37,167 --> 00:22:38,633
Yo, where you taking us?
550
00:22:38,702 --> 00:22:40,268
Our old neighborhood.
551
00:22:40,337 --> 00:22:42,570
This is where we grew up.
552
00:22:42,639 --> 00:22:44,105
We ain't never lived here.
553
00:22:44,174 --> 00:22:45,607
Yeah, we did.
554
00:22:45,675 --> 00:22:47,742
You were a baby. You wouldn't remember.
555
00:22:50,080 --> 00:22:51,980
Take a good look around.
556
00:22:52,048 --> 00:22:54,449
I did everything I could
to shield y'all from this.
557
00:22:54,518 --> 00:22:55,950
Yeah. Straight, all right?
558
00:22:56,019 --> 00:22:57,085
I'm cool.
559
00:22:57,153 --> 00:22:59,487
After your mama went away, I...
560
00:22:59,556 --> 00:23:02,490
got us up and out of here as
fast as humanly possible,
561
00:23:02,559 --> 00:23:04,526
but I coddled y'all.
562
00:23:04,594 --> 00:23:09,264
Let y'all breathe rarified
air and live behind giant gates
563
00:23:09,332 --> 00:23:11,499
and drive in limos.
564
00:23:11,568 --> 00:23:14,002
Biggest mistake of my life.
565
00:23:14,070 --> 00:23:16,004
'Cause it made y'all soft.
566
00:23:16,072 --> 00:23:17,605
Now my sons
567
00:23:17,674 --> 00:23:19,941
walk these streets like food.
568
00:23:20,010 --> 00:23:21,876
Here endeth the lesson.
569
00:23:21,945 --> 00:23:23,845
This lesson's only begun, son.
570
00:23:23,914 --> 00:23:25,520
You see, self-preservation
571
00:23:25,521 --> 00:23:27,482
has the very first rule of nature:
572
00:23:27,551 --> 00:23:30,652
it's kill or be killed in these streets.
573
00:23:30,720 --> 00:23:31,886
Driver.
574
00:23:31,955 --> 00:23:33,388
Open this damn door.
575
00:23:33,456 --> 00:23:35,657
Why, so you can get out and
get beat up by the cops
576
00:23:35,725 --> 00:23:38,159
or thrown back in jail again?
577
00:23:38,228 --> 00:23:41,129
Or you get shot, and
go running and crying
578
00:23:41,197 --> 00:23:44,799
with your little girlfriends
in your... therapy club.
579
00:23:44,868 --> 00:23:46,401
Or you let some
580
00:23:46,469 --> 00:23:49,537
closet lady-boy punk you in my club.
581
00:23:49,606 --> 00:23:51,472
I mean, this whole time, I thought
582
00:23:51,541 --> 00:23:54,409
the problem was, that you were bipolar
583
00:23:54,477 --> 00:23:56,811
and you were gay
584
00:23:56,880 --> 00:23:58,379
and you were just spoiled.
585
00:23:58,448 --> 00:24:00,815
But now I'm realizing...
586
00:24:03,219 --> 00:24:05,186
...y'all don't know you're black.
587
00:24:08,091 --> 00:24:09,357
Open...
588
00:24:09,426 --> 00:24:11,326
- the door.
- When you step outside
589
00:24:11,394 --> 00:24:15,930
of this high wall of privilege
that I've built around you,
590
00:24:15,999 --> 00:24:20,868
your name might as well
be Trayvon or Philando
591
00:24:20,937 --> 00:24:23,004
or Freddie.
592
00:24:23,073 --> 00:24:26,040
And the fault lies in me.
593
00:24:26,109 --> 00:24:27,942
'Cause I didn't prepare you.
594
00:24:28,011 --> 00:24:30,612
And it's something you got to live with.
595
00:24:30,680 --> 00:24:33,247
But you better get woke, and quick.
596
00:24:33,316 --> 00:24:36,584
Because you are one moment
away from becoming a hashtag,
597
00:24:36,653 --> 00:24:39,787
and I don't care how many white
wives or white lawyers
598
00:24:39,856 --> 00:24:42,624
- you get...
- Open this door!
599
00:24:42,692 --> 00:24:44,359
Open it!
600
00:24:46,429 --> 00:24:49,063
You dare talk about my
wife after what happened?
601
00:24:49,132 --> 00:24:51,899
I don't know what it means to
be a black man in America?
602
00:24:53,243 --> 00:24:56,137
I know what it means to be a Lyon.
603
00:24:56,206 --> 00:24:59,707
And I'd rather be in jail...
Hell, I'd rather be dead...
604
00:24:59,776 --> 00:25:01,743
Than end up like you.
605
00:25:03,613 --> 00:25:06,614
Open this damn door
before I break it off its hinges.
606
00:25:06,683 --> 00:25:09,117
You heard the Lyon.
607
00:25:09,185 --> 00:25:11,386
Open the door. Let the Lyon out.
608
00:25:13,156 --> 00:25:14,500
Hey, that's my couch!
609
00:25:14,524 --> 00:25:16,457
Hey, you got to get
yo feet off my couch...
610
00:25:16,526 --> 00:25:18,926
Hey, yo, can I get a light?
611
00:25:26,503 --> 00:25:28,236
Dre!
612
00:25:30,073 --> 00:25:32,907
Oh, that's him! It's Jamal!
613
00:25:35,045 --> 00:25:37,812
Ain't you gonna follow your sisters?
614
00:25:37,881 --> 00:25:39,414
Hell, nah, old man.
615
00:25:39,482 --> 00:25:41,182
Hey, yo.
616
00:25:41,251 --> 00:25:43,858
Take me and Original Black Man
617
00:25:43,859 --> 00:25:45,420

618
00:25:45,488 --> 00:25:47,488

00:25:49,526 --> 00:25:51,526

You took that off of
663
00:27:11,341 --> 00:27:12,940
Tiana from two nights ago.
664
00:27:13,009 --> 00:27:16,077
Yeah. 100% owned by Empire.
665
00:27:16,146 --> 00:27:19,180
See now, that's that
monster I'm talking about.
666
00:27:25,088 --> 00:27:27,188
Why are you calling me?
667
00:27:28,625 --> 00:27:30,525
Wait-wait, hell no.
668
00:27:30,593 --> 00:27:33,294
I'll be right there.
669
00:27:33,363 --> 00:27:35,129
Look.
670
00:27:35,198 --> 00:27:39,867
I want to see that on
your Channel tonight.
671
00:27:39,936 --> 00:27:41,736
Bring him home, Shine.
672
00:27:41,805 --> 00:27:43,538
Got it.
673
00:27:47,610 --> 00:27:49,977
Where is she?
674
00:27:55,652 --> 00:27:57,652
What are you doing in my office?
675
00:27:59,122 --> 00:28:00,955
Almost...
676
00:28:02,358 --> 00:28:03,758
A little higher...
677
00:28:03,827 --> 00:28:04,759
Almost...
678
00:28:07,497 --> 00:28:08,629
Yes!
679
00:28:08,698 --> 00:28:10,832
Yes!
680
00:28:10,900 --> 00:28:12,233
Yes!
681
00:28:12,302 --> 00:28:13,835
Lucious!
682
00:28:15,305 --> 00:28:17,471
You sound more excited than me.
683
00:28:17,540 --> 00:28:21,108
I am, Lucious.
684
00:28:21,177 --> 00:28:23,144
Oh! I am.
685
00:28:30,019 --> 00:28:31,819
Mm.
686
00:28:34,324 --> 00:28:35,690
Don't worry.
687
00:28:35,758 --> 00:28:37,658
He was...
688
00:28:37,727 --> 00:28:40,661
just looking... for my earring.
689
00:28:42,565 --> 00:28:44,098
Oh, no, no!
690
00:28:44,167 --> 00:28:45,633
Nah, why you running out?
691
00:28:45,702 --> 00:28:47,046
Uh-uh. Come on.
692
00:28:47,070 --> 00:28:48,302
Yes.
693
00:28:52,148 --> 00:28:54,780
I only wanted to remind you
694
00:28:54,783 --> 00:28:57,568
that when you push
me, I push back harder.
695
00:28:57,653 --> 00:28:58,786
Then I'll remind you
696
00:28:58,821 --> 00:29:01,205
that you are my wife, in my house,
697
00:29:01,290 --> 00:29:02,573
and you're gonna act like it.
698
00:29:02,658 --> 00:29:04,420
And the only men that's
gonna be touching you in here
699
00:29:04,444 --> 00:29:07,294
is gonna be the coroner, when
he carries your dead-ass body away
700
00:29:07,330 --> 00:29:11,415
after my crazy-ass mama kills you.
701
00:29:14,337 --> 00:29:16,170
No.
702
00:29:16,255 --> 00:29:18,005
Excuse me?
703
00:29:18,091 --> 00:29:20,091
That's not how this
is gonna go, Lucious.
704
00:29:20,176 --> 00:29:21,892
See, I married you to save...
705
00:29:21,978 --> 00:29:23,094
yo ass.
706
00:29:23,162 --> 00:29:24,595
And then I saved your ass again
707
00:29:24,680 --> 00:29:26,291
when I found that
camera in the teddy bear,
708
00:29:26,315 --> 00:29:28,315
so let's be clear.
709
00:29:28,351 --> 00:29:31,285
I am not the one who
needs this marriage.
710
00:29:31,354 --> 00:29:34,405
No, you married me because
you always wanted to be
711
00:29:34,490 --> 00:29:36,524
Mrs. Lucious Lyon.
712
00:29:36,609 --> 00:29:38,759
Not anymore.
713
00:29:38,828 --> 00:29:41,228
I am here, in this
714
00:29:41,297 --> 00:29:43,380
haunted house of horrors, because I knew
715
00:29:43,449 --> 00:29:45,583
that if I did cooperate with Tariq,
716
00:29:45,668 --> 00:29:47,501
my baby would grow up without a mother.
717
00:29:53,459 --> 00:29:55,793
Very, very smart girl.
718
00:29:58,014 --> 00:30:00,014
And now you're cornered.
719
00:30:01,851 --> 00:30:04,135
And so are you.
720
00:30:05,805 --> 00:30:09,073
I'm just making a point here, Lucious.
721
00:30:10,359 --> 00:30:12,276
I'm gonna do...
722
00:30:12,361 --> 00:30:14,311
what I want,
723
00:30:14,397 --> 00:30:16,363
when I want...
724
00:30:17,733 --> 00:30:21,652
or we both go down in flames.
725
00:30:22,738 --> 00:30:25,523
I like to call it mutually
726
00:30:25,591 --> 00:30:29,493
assured destruction.
727
00:30:40,039 --> 00:30:41,505
All clear!
728
00:30:41,591 --> 00:30:43,257
All right, let's go.
729
00:30:43,342 --> 00:30:45,593
Jamal. You finally came.
730
00:30:49,816 --> 00:30:51,877
No, no, no... stop, stop, stop!
731
00:30:51,901 --> 00:30:53,100
No, stop!
732
00:30:53,186 --> 00:30:55,569
Now, hold on...
733
00:30:55,605 --> 00:30:57,488
Look, we good.
734
00:30:57,573 --> 00:30:59,106
Yeah. Everything's okay.
735
00:31:00,193 --> 00:31:01,225
They got 15, right?
736
00:31:01,294 --> 00:31:02,493
That's right.
737
00:31:02,562 --> 00:31:04,278
I'll walk you back.
738
00:31:04,363 --> 00:31:07,114
Sorry I didn't come see you sooner. Aww.
739
00:31:07,200 --> 00:31:08,365
At least you're here.
740
00:31:08,451 --> 00:31:10,251
Yeah, I hate seeing you like this.
741
00:31:10,286 --> 00:31:12,119
Such a waste of your
talent and everything.
742
00:31:12,205 --> 00:31:15,673
It is what it is. But...
What's up with you, though?
743
00:31:15,803 --> 00:31:18,437
I've been waiting to hear the
latest Jamal Lyon smash.
744
00:31:18,461 --> 00:31:20,261
Just laying low, you know?
745
00:31:20,296 --> 00:31:21,229
Yeah, I'm messed to come out.
746
00:31:21,230 --> 00:31:23,775
Ah, forget that album. I
ain't done with that anyway.
747
00:31:23,799 --> 00:31:25,410
The Jamal Lyon I know is
a beast in the studio.
748
00:31:25,434 --> 00:31:28,018
No, the Jamal Lyon that you
knew went missing when you shot him.
749
00:31:28,104 --> 00:31:29,248
Jamal, I didn't mean to hurt you.
750
00:31:29,272 --> 00:31:30,437
No!
751
00:31:33,407 --> 00:31:36,208
Yeah, but you did.
752
00:31:36,293 --> 00:31:37,743
Freda.
753
00:31:37,811 --> 00:31:39,494
And now I'm sitting here, I'm just...
754
00:31:39,580 --> 00:31:41,797
I'm... man, I'm ruined.
755
00:31:41,832 --> 00:31:44,349
Oh, and that's your
fault. You the one that did it.
756
00:31:44,418 --> 00:31:45,667
Oh, Jamal, please...
757
00:31:45,753 --> 00:31:47,386
- Yo, somebody get her please?
- Jamal!
758
00:31:47,471 --> 00:31:48,837
I did not mean to hurt you!
759
00:31:48,922 --> 00:31:50,116
- Back up, prisoner.
- I didn't! You got...
760
00:31:50,140 --> 00:31:51,390
- Get off of me, man!
- Come on!
761
00:31:51,475 --> 00:31:53,258
Jamal! Jamal!
762
00:31:57,314 --> 00:31:59,231
Andre, go see where Jamal's at.
763
00:31:59,316 --> 00:32:00,766
I got it.
764
00:32:05,189 --> 00:32:06,469
They're waiting on you, brother.
765
00:32:12,362 --> 00:32:13,695

Hold up, hold up.
769
00:32:25,008 --> 00:32:26,091
Sorry.
770
00:32:26,176 --> 00:32:27,626
This is not my day.
771
00:32:27,711 --> 00:32:28,960
- Hold up.
- No, it's good.
772
00:32:31,381 --> 00:32:34,049
- Um...
- You good?
773
00:32:34,134 --> 00:32:36,315
- Yeah, I'm okay.
- Hey, Jamal.
774
00:32:36,316 --> 00:32:37,781
If you ain't really feeling this,
775
00:32:37,805 --> 00:32:39,354
we can reschedule this thing.
776
00:32:39,389 --> 00:32:41,273
Is that what you want to do?
777
00:32:41,358 --> 00:32:42,524
No, no.
778
00:32:42,559 --> 00:32:44,476
Personally, I think we're good.
779
00:32:44,545 --> 00:32:46,122
Yeah, yeah, yeah,
yeah. Just give me a second
780
00:32:46,146 --> 00:32:47,957
because, just, can we turn the
lights down or something?
781
00:32:47,981 --> 00:32:50,474
That's good... let's get the
mood right in the studio.
782
00:32:50,475 --> 00:32:51,183
I got it.
783
00:32:51,251 --> 00:32:54,035
I think we're about to
be front row and center
784
00:32:54,104 --> 00:32:55,821
for another Jamal flameout.
785
00:32:59,076 --> 00:33:00,375
Andre.
786

They got you doing everything
around here.
787
00:33:02,579 --> 00:33:05,330
Just, uh, trying to help out, Kitty.

00:33:05,415 --> 00:33:07,082
Very nice.
789
00:33:12,005 --> 00:33:14,089
What a waste of time.
790
00:33:16,093 --> 00:33:18,393
So, um, I was thinking at the bridge,
791
00:33:18,428 --> 00:33:20,240
we'd treat it like... kind
of like a rap session.
792
00:33:20,264 --> 00:33:21,797
He might need it.
793
00:33:21,865 --> 00:33:24,316

00:36:10,669 --> 00:36:12,452
Look, Zeah,
850
00:36:12,504 --> 00:36:14,621
baby, I know this is hard,
851
00:36:14,673 --> 00:36:16,760
so I'm gonna do this for you.
852
00:36:17,002 --> 00:36:19,570
What in the hell do
you think you're doing?
853
00:36:19,594 --> 00:36:22,228
Sending him to
college, where he belongs.
854
00:36:25,100 --> 00:36:26,266
Such a shame.
855
00:36:26,301 --> 00:36:28,051
You could have been huge.
856
00:36:28,136 --> 00:36:30,387
Did Mr. Wonderful put you up to this?
857
00:36:30,472 --> 00:36:32,555
I put me up to this.
858
00:36:32,641 --> 00:36:35,308
Zeah, look, when I look at you,
859
00:36:35,360 --> 00:36:38,027
I see more than a future
860
00:36:38,113 --> 00:36:39,863
multi-platinum-selling artist.
861
00:36:39,948 --> 00:36:43,316
What I see is a brilliant mind.
862
00:36:43,368 --> 00:36:45,318
Yeah, the world has enough rappers.
863
00:36:45,370 --> 00:36:47,887
We don't need another one... yet.
864
00:36:47,956 --> 00:36:49,456
But I tell you what.
865
00:36:49,491 --> 00:36:51,291
If you're serious about music,
866
00:36:51,326 --> 00:36:53,877
you come see us after you
graduate in four years.
867
00:36:53,962 --> 00:36:56,629
Empire ain't going nowhere.
868
00:36:56,665 --> 00:37:00,800
You really think this business
is gonna wait for your ass?
869
00:37:00,836 --> 00:37:04,170
You have Cookie's word, baby.
870
00:37:04,222 --> 00:37:06,756
And that means a lot out
here on these streets.
871
00:37:14,699 --> 00:37:16,327
Thank you for what you did for Zeah.
872
00:37:16,351 --> 00:37:17,333
You're welcome.
873
00:37:19,254 --> 00:37:21,738
Angelo...
874
00:37:21,823 --> 00:37:23,106
you're not better than me.
875
00:37:23,191 --> 00:37:24,924
I'm not ashamed of who I am,
876
00:37:24,960 --> 00:37:26,876
I'm not ashamed of where I come from,
877
00:37:26,962 --> 00:37:28,628
or the fact that Lucious and I started
878
00:37:28,680 --> 00:37:30,263
from the bottom with nothing.
879
00:37:30,298 --> 00:37:31,714
And now we're here.
880
00:37:31,800 --> 00:37:36,519
I'm not ashamed of
the music I make, so...
881
00:37:36,605 --> 00:37:39,222
I understand that.
882
00:37:39,307 --> 00:37:40,390
I respect you.
883
00:37:40,475 --> 00:37:43,643
I respect your music, and I respect
884
00:37:43,695 --> 00:37:45,361
everything that you do.
885
00:37:45,447 --> 00:37:46,780
Thank you.
886
00:37:46,815 --> 00:37:48,898
I mean that for real, Cookie.
887
00:37:48,984 --> 00:37:50,900
Empire is an American triumph.
888
00:37:50,986 --> 00:37:52,952
- That it is.
- Mm-hmm.
889
00:37:52,988 --> 00:37:54,788
- Whoa...
- Oh...
890
00:37:57,292 --> 00:37:58,408
Let's get some lunch first.
891
00:37:58,493 --> 00:38:00,210
Yes. I'll get at you.
892
00:38:00,295 --> 00:38:01,578
Okay. Nice try, though.
893
00:38:01,663 --> 00:38:04,214
I'll get it next time.
894
00:38:10,755 --> 00:38:13,206
Well, your father should be happy.
895
00:38:13,275 --> 00:38:15,091
We got over ten million subscribers,
896
00:38:15,177 --> 00:38:17,994
and we spiked another 150,000
897
00:38:18,063 --> 00:38:19,963
just in the hour after streaming
898
00:38:20,031 --> 00:38:21,464
you and Kitty's duet.
899
00:38:22,918 --> 00:38:24,518
Why are you standing
here looking stupid?
900
00:38:24,569 --> 00:38:25,552
Wait for it.
901
00:38:25,620 --> 00:38:26,936
Uh, wait for what?
902
00:38:31,276 --> 00:38:32,692
The Black Album?
903
00:38:33,945 --> 00:38:35,478
- What is that?
- Yeah.
904
00:38:35,547 --> 00:38:36,724
Good thing I took a bullet for him.
905
00:38:36,748 --> 00:38:37,814
Now I can kill him myself.
906
00:38:37,899 --> 00:38:39,532
Wait, wait, wait, Jamal.
907
00:38:39,568 --> 00:38:41,651
It's beautiful, ain't it?
908
00:38:41,736 --> 00:38:44,537
Uh... Jamal!
909
00:38:46,208 --> 00:38:48,324
So what the hell is
the damn Black Album?
910
00:38:48,393 --> 00:38:49,959
The Black Album?
911
00:38:50,045 --> 00:38:52,161
Just a little something that came up
912
00:38:52,247 --> 00:38:53,746
in a marketing brainstorm.
913
00:38:53,798 --> 00:38:57,000
You see, half the songs on that album,
914
00:38:57,085 --> 00:38:59,235
which Jamal likes to
call "the black side,"
915
00:38:59,304 --> 00:39:00,503
is produced by me.
916
00:39:00,589 --> 00:39:01,971
Yeah, I know, I know.
917
00:39:02,057 --> 00:39:04,057
So all I had to do
was get rid of the songs
918
00:39:04,092 --> 00:39:05,675
that you produced,
919
00:39:05,760 --> 00:39:07,677
and it became this whole new concept.
920
00:39:07,762 --> 00:39:09,896
I mean, his fans are gonna
love it, it'll probably...
921
00:39:09,931 --> 00:39:11,431
double subscription overnight.
922
00:39:12,926 --> 00:39:14,061
This ain't got nothing to do
923
00:39:14,085 --> 00:39:16,402
with Empire XStream, does it?
924
00:39:19,491 --> 00:39:21,241
Yeah, this is personal.
925
00:39:21,276 --> 00:39:22,659
Yeah, it's personal.
926
00:39:22,744 --> 00:39:24,444
But it's also business.
927
00:39:24,512 --> 00:39:25,790
'Cause, see that's what we do, right?
928
00:39:25,814 --> 00:39:28,248
No, that's what you do, Lucious.
929
00:39:28,283 --> 00:39:29,832
I like how y'all are judging me,
930
00:39:29,918 --> 00:39:31,546
like y'all are walking around
with these haloes.
931
00:39:31,570 --> 00:39:32,952
I'm a human being, Cook.
932
00:39:33,004 --> 00:39:34,754
Good, you should try acting like one.
933
00:39:34,823 --> 00:39:36,606
I did, until you hurt my feelings.
934
00:39:36,675 --> 00:39:38,625
Oh, I kept hurting your
feelings, Lucious?
935
00:39:38,677 --> 00:39:40,271
Like you're the only
one walking around here
936
00:39:40,295 --> 00:39:41,711
with feelings, really?
937
00:39:41,796 --> 00:39:42,773
Well, you're walking around here
938
00:39:42,797 --> 00:39:44,047
demonizing me for how
939
00:39:44,132 --> 00:39:46,299
I run my company.
940
00:39:46,351 --> 00:39:48,468
But I haven't seen ne'er
one of y'all quit.
941
00:39:48,520 --> 00:39:50,219
Yeah, because half of this company
942
00:39:50,305 --> 00:39:51,688
belongs to me.
943
00:39:51,773 --> 00:39:54,524
And that's the piece
you like to forget, Lucious.
944
00:39:54,609 --> 00:39:56,943
- Half of this company?
- Half, that's right.
945
00:39:56,978 --> 00:39:59,195
This whole separation of responsibility
946
00:39:59,281 --> 00:40:00,630
that you keep talking about,
947
00:40:00,699 --> 00:40:02,398
that's never gonna happen.
948
00:40:02,484 --> 00:40:05,985
I'm retaking control of Empire Music
949
00:40:06,054 --> 00:40:07,294
because, at the end of the day,
950
00:40:07,339 --> 00:40:08,821
it's all business.
951
00:40:08,873 --> 00:40:10,990
Oh, you are, are you?
952
00:40:11,042 --> 00:40:13,586
Well, don't forget I
have the board on my side.
953
00:40:13,709 --> 00:40:15,106
So if you try to kick me out,
954
00:40:15,130 --> 00:40:16,746
that means war.
955
00:40:16,831 --> 00:40:18,498
Is that what you want, Lucious?
956
00:40:20,502 --> 00:40:22,302
Oh...
957
00:40:22,337 --> 00:40:26,506
Well, all right... baby.
958
00:40:26,558 --> 00:40:28,591
You wanna play?
959
00:40:28,677 --> 00:40:30,310
Let's play.
960
00:40:33,315 --> 00:40:35,398
Let the games begin, Cook.
961
00:40:36,885 --> 00:40:38,434
Let's play.
962
00:40:59,090 --> 00:41:00,923
Out walking while black.
963
00:41:01,009 --> 00:41:03,760
Isn't that what got you in
trouble in the first place?
964
00:41:07,549 --> 00:41:08,514
What do you want?
965
00:41:08,550 --> 00:41:10,266
Just seeing how you're doing
966
00:41:10,335 --> 00:41:12,518
under the weight of some nasty charges.
967
00:41:12,587 --> 00:41:14,354
Assaulting a police officer?
968
00:41:14,422 --> 00:41:16,272
Mm, mm, mm!
969
00:41:16,358 --> 00:41:19,192
I read Officer
Horowitz's amended report.
970
00:41:19,227 --> 00:41:22,278
He makes you sound positively unhinged.
971
00:41:22,347 --> 00:41:24,981
You gonna see some time
after that... believe that.
972
00:41:28,069 --> 00:41:29,569
You're behind this.
973
00:41:29,621 --> 00:41:32,705
Some twisted way of getting
back at my father.
974
00:41:32,774 --> 00:41:35,241
You got that officer to
lie and up my charges.
975
00:41:35,310 --> 00:41:37,894
Oh, I just sat back
and let the man talk.
976
00:41:37,962 --> 00:41:39,362
By the time he finished,
977
00:41:39,431 --> 00:41:41,531
he remembered all
kinds of mess about you.
978
00:41:41,599 --> 00:41:43,132
That's how they do.
979
00:41:43,201 --> 00:41:46,552
I just made sure I took advantage
of the situation.
980
00:41:48,890 --> 00:41:49,856
Mm.
981
00:41:49,924 --> 00:41:52,709
You think I'm scared...
982
00:41:52,777 --> 00:41:56,045
of some trumped-up
charges from a trumped-up Fed?
983
00:41:56,114 --> 00:41:58,981
Is that what you think I am?
984
00:41:59,050 --> 00:42:01,317
Maybe I'm just a black
sheep just like you.
985
00:42:01,403 --> 00:42:03,903
Hmm? Nah, hear me out, nephew.
986
00:42:03,955 --> 00:42:05,571
We ain't so far apart.
987
00:42:05,623 --> 00:42:08,374
Maybe you should do yourself a favor...
988
00:42:08,410 --> 00:42:12,328
before we get you, too. Hmm?
989
00:42:12,397 --> 00:42:14,297
I get it. You think you can make me
990
00:42:14,382 --> 00:42:15,631
inform on my father
991
00:42:15,717 --> 00:42:18,835
in exchange for
dropping some charges, right?
992
00:42:18,903 --> 00:42:21,421
Let me help you out, Uncle.
993
00:42:21,473 --> 00:42:22,972
That ain't gonna happen.
994
00:42:23,041 --> 00:42:26,726
You are your father's son after all.
995
00:42:26,795 --> 00:42:28,311
Well, we shall see.
996
00:42:28,396 --> 00:42:31,347
It doesn't take much to
put the screws on a black man,
997
00:42:31,433 --> 00:42:33,433
once he's part of the system.
998
00:42:33,485 --> 00:42:37,320
And you ain't no ordinary black man.
999
00:42:37,405 --> 00:42:41,079
You're a Lyon. Prize game.
1000
00:42:42,277 --> 00:42:44,643
Have a good night, nephew.
1001
00:42:53,169 --> 00:42:58,620
