-Previously onEmpire...
-Your nose is bleeding.

00:00:19,932 --> 00:00:21,282
Andre!
10
00:00:21,325 --> 00:00:23,675
I'm a Lyon and I'm done
apologizing for that.
11
00:00:23,719 --> 00:00:25,982
GISELLE:
I could get you back running
the company you built
12
00:00:26,026 --> 00:00:27,288
with me as copartner.
13
00:00:27,331 --> 00:00:29,203
I'm Damon Cross
and I'm a game changer.
14
00:00:29,246 --> 00:00:31,074
-Nobody move!
15
00:00:31,118 --> 00:00:33,294
Our money is sitting
in a Panamanian bank
16
00:00:33,337 --> 00:00:35,252
and we need someone
to help us.
17
00:00:35,296 --> 00:00:37,124
I'm not going anywhere
without my money.
18
00:00:37,167 --> 00:00:38,908
She's worth it.
19
00:00:38,951 --> 00:00:40,562
Set up a meeting
with Damon Cross.
20
00:00:40,605 --> 00:00:42,912
Damon Cross is no longer
a client for good reasons.
21
00:00:42,955 --> 00:00:46,307
-AGENT: FBI.
-Mr. Rawlings,
you can call me Meghan.
22
00:00:46,350 --> 00:00:49,310
CONWAY:
You're gonna tell me
about the connection
23
00:00:49,353 --> 00:00:51,094
between Lucious Lyon
and Damon Cross.
24
00:00:51,138 --> 00:00:53,531
I can put you all
in the same room.
25
00:00:53,575 --> 00:00:56,317
Oh. That's a little
Doctor Whoof you.
26
00:00:56,360 --> 00:00:58,319
I mean, this is from
the Platinum Party.
27
00:00:58,362 --> 00:01:01,104
Anyone who's anyone was there.
28
00:01:01,148 --> 00:01:02,888
-You gonna party like this, huh?- No.
29
00:01:02,932 --> 00:01:04,716
-Told you I'd get you in.
-This is amazing.
30
00:01:04,760 --> 00:01:06,327
-Watch your back.
What's up, my man?
-Excuse me.

00:01:51,807 --> 00:01:54,723
That damn Eddie tried to bench
her since she had her baby.
51
00:01:54,766 --> 00:01:56,986
And we spent all that time
turning her and built
52
00:01:57,029 --> 00:02:00,250
to a superstar and now he's
renting her out like some pony
53
00:02:00,294 --> 00:02:01,947
-at a party.
-Cookie, Lucious.
54
00:02:01,991 --> 00:02:03,297
Look at you.
55
00:02:03,340 --> 00:02:06,169
-Looking good.
-Hey, where's Eddie?
56
00:02:06,213 --> 00:02:08,650
-He's probably banging
his new assistant.
- Shh.
57
00:02:08,693 --> 00:02:10,565
Oh, it's so good to see
that you haven't lost
58
00:02:10,608 --> 00:02:13,045
your sense of humor, Cookie.
59
00:02:13,089 --> 00:02:14,395
Considering you've lost
everything else.
60
00:02:14,438 --> 00:02:17,093
I would slap you, Giselle.
61
00:02:17,137 --> 00:02:20,444
But animal cruelty
is a crime in New York.
62
00:02:20,488 --> 00:02:21,837
LUCIOUS:

63
00:02:23,665 --> 00:02:26,407

Was that Lucious Lyon?
76
00:02:52,172 --> 00:02:54,043
Yes.
I can't believe he thinks
77
00:02:54,086 --> 00:02:56,001
he's actually gonna get
Empire back.
78
00:02:56,045 --> 00:02:57,916
It's in his blood.
79
00:02:57,960 --> 00:03:01,268
Word to the wise: don't let
Eddie hear you say that.
80
00:03:01,311 --> 00:03:04,575
I don't really care
what Eddie thinks.
81
00:03:04,619 --> 00:03:06,360
I don't think you should,
either.
82
00:03:06,403 --> 00:03:09,276
Jeff. What are you...?
Are you coming on to me?
83
00:03:09,319 --> 00:03:11,669
Only if you say yes.
84
00:03:11,713 --> 00:03:13,367
You really feeling yourself,
huh?
85
00:03:13,410 --> 00:03:14,672

89
00:03:25,117 --> 00:03:28,469
What can I say?
You missed a real humdinger.
90
00:03:28,512 --> 00:03:30,384
Please cut the cameras.
91
00:03:30,427 --> 00:03:32,690
Audio, too. Just shut
the whole thing down, please.
92
00:03:32,734 --> 00:03:34,388
Okay.
93
00:03:39,219 --> 00:03:42,961
You do know that Guantanamo isstill open for business, right?
94
00:03:43,005 --> 00:03:45,137
Damn.
The one thing
95
00:03:45,181 --> 00:03:46,965
Obama promised and didn't do.
96
00:03:47,009 --> 00:03:49,316
See, my president-- he's not
so interested in rules,
97
00:03:49,359 --> 00:03:51,492
just results, which means
98
00:03:51,535 --> 00:03:54,059
that I can crawl so far up
your ass with a microscope
99
00:03:54,103 --> 00:03:58,499
and I'll find any number
of prosecutable offenses.
100
00:03:58,542 --> 00:04:01,197
Ugh. Sounds like
one of his tweets.
101
00:04:01,241 --> 00:04:03,199
You're being very aggressive,
Counselor.
102
00:04:03,243 --> 00:04:05,419
I'm just saying.
103
00:04:05,462 --> 00:04:07,725
I don't really thinkthat you're grasping the gravity
104
00:04:07,769 --> 00:04:10,162
of your situation, Thirsty.
You see,
105
00:04:10,206 --> 00:04:13,949
if I nab one big fish,
it puts me on the front page.
106
00:04:13,992 --> 00:04:15,951
I put two whales on the boat?
107
00:04:15,994 --> 00:04:18,388
Puts me in
the governor's mansion.
108
00:04:18,432 --> 00:04:22,436
I am going to hook Damon Cross
and Lucious Lyon.
109
00:04:22,479 --> 00:04:25,874
So guess what that makes you?
Come on, guess.
110
00:04:25,917 --> 00:04:27,919
My bait.
111
00:04:38,408 --> 00:04:41,411
Lucious wants
to turn that old crack house
112
00:04:41,455 --> 00:04:43,152
-into a rehab.
-Hmm.
113
00:04:43,195 --> 00:04:45,589
But I think a community center
114
00:04:45,633 --> 00:04:47,461
will offer more services.
What you think?
115
00:04:47,504 --> 00:04:49,593
Well, the rehab part
is important, too.
116
00:04:49,637 --> 00:04:51,291
Of course you'd say that.
117
00:04:52,509 --> 00:04:55,164
The Cookie Lyon
Community Center.
118
00:04:55,207 --> 00:04:57,209
-Has a ring to it, doesn't it?
119
00:04:57,253 --> 00:05:00,343
Okay, so his little secret,
passing-for-white bastard
120
00:05:00,387 --> 00:05:02,563
goes and tries
to destroy everything
121
00:05:02,606 --> 00:05:04,608
that you've built,
now Lucious gonna buy you
122
00:05:04,652 --> 00:05:06,784
some old crack shack
and now you trust him?
123
00:05:06,828 --> 00:05:08,395
Trust who?
124
00:05:08,438 --> 00:05:11,049
-Hey, baby.
-Hey. Uh...
125
00:05:11,093 --> 00:05:12,355
I-I was just telling, uh,
126
00:05:12,399 --> 00:05:15,358
Carol, here,
about the focus group.
127
00:05:15,402 --> 00:05:17,578
And how, uh,
128
00:05:17,621 --> 00:05:20,363
Empire has lost
the trust in these streets.
129
00:05:20,407 --> 00:05:22,060
-LUCIOUS: No, don't worry
about that. I'll fix it.
130
00:05:22,104 --> 00:05:24,280
No, I mean, we'll fix it.
131
00:05:24,324 --> 00:05:26,369
So, you know
what Mama says, right?
132
00:05:26,413 --> 00:05:28,763
That trust takes years to earn,seconds to break,
133
00:05:28,806 --> 00:05:30,808
and a lifetime to rebuild.
134
00:05:30,852 --> 00:05:32,332
-Shh.
135
00:05:33,637 --> 00:05:36,031
Hey, how did she get
my damn number?
136
00:05:36,074 --> 00:05:37,859
-Who's that?
-Some agent out in L.A.
137
00:05:37,902 --> 00:05:41,428
She's been following
my Insta stories
138
00:05:41,471 --> 00:05:43,604
-and she wants
to make me a star.
-Mm.
139
00:05:43,647 --> 00:05:46,215
Don't tell me you falling for
some Hollywood shuffle game.
140
00:05:46,258 --> 00:05:49,000
-Look, we got real work
we're doing.
-Well, why not?
141
00:05:49,044 --> 00:05:50,785
Maybe this agent can get you
some good publicity.
142
00:05:50,828 --> 00:05:52,656
I mean, you sure as hell
could use it.
143
00:05:52,700 --> 00:05:53,875
Tell me about it.
144
00:05:53,918 --> 00:05:55,442
I'm out, baby.
145
00:05:56,660 --> 00:05:59,446
But this woman is a bulldog.
146
00:05:59,489 --> 00:06:02,666
I'm gonna have to give her
a hard "no" in person.
147
00:06:04,233 --> 00:06:05,756
These pancakes dry.
148
00:06:05,800 --> 00:06:08,237
No, I didn't make those.
Juanita!
149
00:06:10,892 --> 00:06:13,198
That's great news.
150
00:06:13,242 --> 00:06:15,853
TERI:
A 92 on his calc midterm.
151
00:06:15,897 --> 00:06:17,246
- He's always been
so good at math.
-Aw.
152
00:06:17,289 --> 00:06:18,682
Even when he was a little boy.
153
00:06:18,726 --> 00:06:19,770
I'm so proud of him.
154
00:06:19,814 --> 00:06:21,337
He's doing so great.
155
00:06:21,381 --> 00:06:23,426
-I'm proud of you, too.
-WOMAN: Mr. Lyon.
156
00:06:23,470 --> 00:06:26,211
Um, that meeting's
happening now, Teri.
157
00:06:26,255 --> 00:06:27,691
-I'll call you back.
-Okay, see you soon. Bye.
158
00:06:27,735 --> 00:06:29,476
Okay. Bye.
159
00:06:29,519 --> 00:06:32,696
There's absolutely
no metal allowed in here.
160
00:06:32,740 --> 00:06:34,568
Hop onto the table.
161
00:06:36,831 --> 00:06:40,965
Okay, so remember to lie
as still as possible.
162
00:06:43,185 --> 00:06:45,666
-Scooch up a bit.
-Okay.
163
00:06:45,709 --> 00:06:47,668
Keep your arms tucked in,
knees down.
164
00:06:47,711 --> 00:06:51,280
And try to remain calm. Okay.

Look, um, I know we're
equal partners and everything,
327
00:14:10,023 --> 00:14:12,329

is still on that logo.
328

And I'm not saying it's right,

330
00:14:16,203 --> 00:14:18,248

That sounds like an excuse,
331
00:14:18,292 --> 00:14:20,685
not an explanation.
332
00:14:20,729 --> 00:14:23,166
What does your 20% think?
333
00:14:23,210 --> 00:14:24,864

Okay.
335
00:14:28,998 --> 00:14:32,393

ready to headline yet.
336
00:14:32,436 --> 00:14:35,048
The road can be
really rough on you.
337
00:14:35,091 --> 00:14:38,399
-So we agree. The tour's off.
-I didn't say that.
338
00:14:38,442 --> 00:14:40,270
I said my baby's not ready

339
00:14:40,314 --> 00:14:43,099

about Empire
340
00:14:43,143 --> 00:14:47,060
launching a national tour
featuring...
341
00:14:47,103 --> 00:14:50,280
all of our artists--
Empire and LFM?
342
00:14:50,324 --> 00:14:52,369
The risk is too high.
343
00:14:52,413 --> 00:14:54,371
Come on, man.
Go hard or go home.
344
00:14:54,415 --> 00:14:58,201
See, Cookie, you can say that
because you have a family
345
00:14:58,245 --> 00:15:01,161
and a husband to back you up.
346
00:15:01,204 --> 00:15:02,945
Empire is all I have.
347
00:15:02,989 --> 00:15:05,643
It's everything we got.
Everything!
348
00:15:05,687 --> 00:15:08,037
I called Kelly Patel.
349
00:15:08,081 --> 00:15:09,996
-Oh, really?
-Mm-hmm.
350
00:15:10,039 --> 00:15:11,649
So, you went running
to tell teacher
351
00:15:11,693 --> 00:15:14,087
because you knew
you wouldn't get your way.
352
00:15:14,130 --> 00:15:16,785
The parent company
has a 40% stake in Empire.
353
00:15:16,828 --> 00:15:19,135
Kelly has a right
to know what's going on.
354
00:15:19,179 --> 00:15:21,224
He'll be here later today.
355
00:15:21,268 --> 00:15:22,530
Oh, really?
356
00:15:22,573 --> 00:15:25,402
So did you snitch
about Panama, too?
357
00:15:25,446 --> 00:15:28,057
Of course not.
358
00:15:28,101 --> 00:15:30,755
He doesn't need to know
all our business.
359
00:15:33,628 --> 00:15:35,630
We need this tour.
360
00:15:39,068 --> 00:15:41,201
So were you ever gonna
tell me about this tour?
361
00:15:41,244 --> 00:15:43,203
Yeah, I know.Between this and Hakeem's video
362
00:15:43,246 --> 00:15:45,161
and this whole
Treasure/Tiana thing,
363
00:15:45,205 --> 00:15:47,642
it's like the universe don'teven want me to miss Kai, so...
364
00:15:47,685 --> 00:15:51,472
Who is Kai?
Stop talking about him. God.
365
00:15:51,515 --> 00:15:54,910
I'm not hearing any music.
Why's that?
366
00:15:54,954 --> 00:15:56,259
I-I tried, man.
367
00:15:56,303 --> 00:15:58,000
Uh-uh.
368
00:15:58,044 --> 00:16:00,133
-Y'all, what's good?
-TIANA: Jamal,
369
00:16:00,176 --> 00:16:02,613
-I really tried,
but I can't do this.
-Oh, no, no, no, no.
370
00:16:02,657 --> 00:16:04,659
-She is completely
unprofessional.
-Unprofessional?
371
00:16:04,702 --> 00:16:06,269
-Girl, what is you talking...?
-Not getting any work done.
372
00:16:06,313 --> 00:16:07,227
-Oh, my God. Really?
373
00:16:07,270 --> 00:16:08,837
It's been like this all day?
374
00:16:08,880 --> 00:16:10,665
-All day.
-BECKY: For real?
375
00:16:10,708 --> 00:16:11,666
Isn't your baby
crying somewhere?
376
00:16:11,709 --> 00:16:13,015
Talk about my baby
one more time.
377
00:16:13,059 --> 00:16:14,016
Talk about my baby,
and you gonna have to
378
00:16:14,060 --> 00:16:15,191
get you a security guard.
379
00:16:15,235 --> 00:16:16,845
Why don't she got
the baby monitor in here?
380
00:16:16,888 --> 00:16:18,151
-Where is the baby?
-...a mother, I will drag you.
381
00:16:18,194 --> 00:16:19,587
Girl, keep talking.
I'm unprofessional?
382
00:16:19,630 --> 00:16:21,284
-Oh, word?
-Yeah.
383
00:16:21,328 --> 00:16:22,503
-We cannot work together.
-You just got here.
384
00:16:22,546 --> 00:16:24,287
You doing a lot of this.
You need to do this.
385
00:16:24,331 --> 00:16:26,159
-I hear your baby crying.
Go check on your baby.
-Okay.
386
00:16:26,202 --> 00:16:27,595
-Jamal,please come take out the trash.-Really? Jamal.
387
00:16:27,638 --> 00:16:29,075
-And don't talk
about my baby no more.
388
00:16:29,118 --> 00:16:31,033
-Jamal, I can't do this.
-You talk a lot for...
389
00:16:34,210 --> 00:16:36,125
Thank you.
390
00:16:38,432 --> 00:16:41,130
I don't know. I mean,
after a couple of dates,
391
00:16:41,174 --> 00:16:43,263
we hit it off.
392
00:16:43,306 --> 00:16:46,266
Uh, Vera quit her job
at the DA's office.
393
00:16:46,309 --> 00:16:48,137
Before I knew it,
she was working for me.
394
00:16:48,181 --> 00:16:50,661
And it was magical.
I mean, she was beautiful.
395
00:16:50,705 --> 00:16:53,534
You're giving me cramps.
Please, get to the point.
396
00:16:53,577 --> 00:16:57,277
Vera w-was fascinated
by celebrities.
397
00:16:57,320 --> 00:17:00,541
All right, she was obsessed
with this Platinum Party,
398
00:17:00,584 --> 00:17:02,064
so I had to finagle
399
00:17:02,108 --> 00:17:03,674
a couple of invites for us.
That night,
400
00:17:03,718 --> 00:17:06,286
that's when I ran into Mr. Lyon.
401
00:17:06,329 --> 00:17:08,114
I've seen enough.
Let's go home.
402
00:17:08,157 --> 00:17:10,072
-Oh, after-party, huh?
-Yeah.
403
00:17:10,116 --> 00:17:11,987
Thirst, Thirst, Thirst, Thirst.
404
00:17:12,031 --> 00:17:14,076
-What's up, man?
-Hey.
-Hi.
405
00:17:14,120 --> 00:17:15,208
-One second, Mama.
-Hey.
406
00:17:15,251 --> 00:17:16,209
What's up, boss?
407
00:17:16,252 --> 00:17:18,124
You ready
to take the Empire or what?
408
00:17:18,167 --> 00:17:20,648
It's more like the opposite
right now.
409
00:17:20,691 --> 00:17:22,519
What's up?
What you need?
410
00:17:22,563 --> 00:17:24,478
How much I owe you right now?
411
00:17:24,521 --> 00:17:26,088
Oh, we ain't gonna talk
about that.
412
00:17:26,132 --> 00:17:28,221
It's a party atmosphere.Come on, I know where you live.
413
00:17:28,264 --> 00:17:30,136
I don't like owing people.
414
00:17:30,179 --> 00:17:33,095
And until things get right...
415
00:17:33,139 --> 00:17:36,533
I should take a leave of absencefor a little while.
416
00:17:36,577 --> 00:17:39,319
-Just till things get right.-Say no more,
mon ami.I get it.
417
00:17:39,362 --> 00:17:41,973
You call me when you need me.
Enough said.
418
00:17:42,017 --> 00:17:44,237
-I'm sorry, man.
-It's okay.Nothing to be sorry about, man.
419
00:17:44,280 --> 00:17:46,369
-When it's right...
-It's right.
420
00:17:46,413 --> 00:17:49,155
-Sorry.
-Nice jacket, though.
421
00:17:49,198 --> 00:17:51,679
I'm rubbing off on you.
422
00:17:51,722 --> 00:17:53,681
Baby, are you okay?
423
00:17:53,724 --> 00:17:55,987
Yes. Everything's good.
424
00:17:56,031 --> 00:17:57,250
It's all good.
Come on, let's go home.
425
00:17:57,293 --> 00:17:59,034
No, no, no, no.
We should stay.
426
00:17:59,078 --> 00:18:00,383
Let's not forget why we're here.
427
00:18:00,427 --> 00:18:03,038
I quit my jobto help you build your practice.
428
00:18:03,082 --> 00:18:05,345
-Yes.
-And, babe, I believe in you,
but we have no money
429
00:18:05,388 --> 00:18:06,563
-coming in.
-We have no money coming in.
430
00:18:06,607 --> 00:18:07,825
-No.
-This is true.
431
00:18:07,869 --> 00:18:09,610
Then let's work the crowd
and do what we do.
432
00:18:09,653 --> 00:18:11,177
-Okay.
-Find the money.
433
00:18:11,220 --> 00:18:13,527
-I'm sorry, baby. I'm sorry.
-No, it's okay.
434
00:18:13,570 --> 00:18:15,529
-All right.
435
00:18:15,572 --> 00:18:17,400
-I'm gonna get some drinks,
okay?
-Yeah, okay.
436
00:18:17,444 --> 00:18:19,010
Okay.
437
00:18:19,054 --> 00:18:20,273
Hey, how you doing?
438
00:18:20,316 --> 00:18:21,796
Can I get
a couple of tequila shots?
439
00:18:21,839 --> 00:18:24,494
There you go.
440
00:18:24,538 --> 00:18:26,192
There's a lot of beautiful womenhere tonight, huh?
441
00:18:26,235 --> 00:18:27,845
Ah. I hadn't noticed.
442
00:18:27,889 --> 00:18:29,760
Thirsty Rawlings, right?
443
00:18:29,804 --> 00:18:31,327
I'm sorry,
do we know each other?
444
00:18:31,371 --> 00:18:33,329
No. I'm Damon Cross.
445
00:18:33,373 --> 00:18:35,592
But, you know, I'm looking
for a personal attorney.
446
00:18:35,636 --> 00:18:37,203
Somebody who can be discreet,
447
00:18:37,246 --> 00:18:38,943
you know what I'm saying,
resourceful.
448
00:18:38,987 --> 00:18:41,076
And-and I heard you do good workwith the Lyons.
449
00:18:41,120 --> 00:18:43,383
-Ah. You know the Lyons, huh?
-Not really.
450
00:18:43,426 --> 00:18:45,385
I ran into Cookie
a few weeks ago.
451
00:18:45,428 --> 00:18:47,430
I really love how she handles
her business,
452
00:18:47,474 --> 00:18:48,779
and I assume that
453
00:18:48,823 --> 00:18:51,304
that extends
down to the family attorney.
454
00:18:51,347 --> 00:18:52,653
It does.
455
00:18:52,696 --> 00:18:55,221
-Maybe I can squeeze you in
sometime next week?
-Really?
456
00:18:55,264 --> 00:18:57,223
That sounds...
Oh, man, thank you.
457
00:18:57,266 --> 00:18:59,268
-Salud.
-Salud.
458
00:19:00,400 --> 00:19:03,185
-Mm.
-Yeah, I'll be in touch.
459
00:19:04,926 --> 00:19:07,015
Let me get two more.
460
00:19:07,058 --> 00:19:08,408
Thanks.
461
00:19:08,451 --> 00:19:10,410
-Thirsty.
-Ah.
462
00:19:10,453 --> 00:19:12,238
You see that?
When one door closes,
463
00:19:12,281 --> 00:19:13,630
-another one opens.
-No.
464
00:19:13,674 --> 00:19:16,067
There are no coincidences.
Lucious lets you go,
465
00:19:16,111 --> 00:19:19,419
and then all of a sudden
Damon Cross wants to hire you?
466
00:19:19,462 --> 00:19:21,421
Wh-What do you know
about Damon Cross?
467
00:19:21,464 --> 00:19:23,684
They whisper about him
in the DA's office,
468
00:19:23,727 --> 00:19:25,381
but they can never
pin anything on him
469
00:19:25,425 --> 00:19:28,428
because he's too good
at whatever he does.
470
00:19:28,471 --> 00:19:31,126
Sounds like he gonna
keep me busy.
471
00:19:31,170 --> 00:19:33,433
I'm serious, Thirsty.
He's dangerous.
472
00:19:35,348 --> 00:19:38,002
Look, babe,
we just started, okay?
473
00:19:38,046 --> 00:19:39,265
-I don't want to lose you.
-Hey, hey.
474
00:19:39,308 --> 00:19:41,005
How do...
how do you go to losing me?
475
00:19:41,049 --> 00:19:42,790
You're not gonna lose me.
All right, look,
476
00:19:42,833 --> 00:19:45,880
if I can handle Lucious Lyon,
I can handle Damon Cross.
477
00:19:49,971 --> 00:19:51,277
Ah.
478
00:19:57,457 --> 00:19:59,241
-Should I close this?
-Please.
479
00:20:01,156 --> 00:20:03,114
-How are you?
-Good.
480
00:20:03,158 --> 00:20:04,464
Please, sit.
481
00:20:08,119 --> 00:20:10,078
Your CT scan results...
482
00:20:10,121 --> 00:20:12,733
are troubling.
483
00:20:12,776 --> 00:20:15,692
And yours looks to be
particularly tricky.
484
00:20:15,736 --> 00:20:17,607
Now, that doesn't mean
that we're giving up.
485
00:20:17,651 --> 00:20:19,348
We've had some success
486
00:20:19,392 --> 00:20:20,871
with a variety...
487
00:20:29,402 --> 00:20:31,273
...some success at a variety...
488
00:20:33,580 --> 00:20:35,538
Andre?
489
00:20:38,454 --> 00:20:40,456
Andre?
490
00:20:49,596 --> 00:20:51,685
It is so nice
to finally meet you.
491
00:20:51,728 --> 00:20:53,426
-You have 15 minutes.
492
00:20:53,469 --> 00:20:55,558
Oh, honey, it'll only take five.
493
00:20:55,602 --> 00:20:58,735
Your Instagram Live posts
are deeply moving,
494
00:20:58,779 --> 00:21:01,738
and your ability to resonate
with people is a gift.
495
00:21:01,782 --> 00:21:04,524
-Thank you.
-My mother follows you.
496
00:21:04,567 --> 00:21:06,874
My hairdresser?
Obsessed with you.
497
00:21:06,917 --> 00:21:10,225
A major television network
president told me she's a fan.
498
00:21:10,269 --> 00:21:12,445
Sign with me, you'll be
in her office on Monday.
499
00:21:12,488 --> 00:21:14,577
Okay, look,
I'm flattered, all right?
500
00:21:14,621 --> 00:21:18,102
But, um, I'm busy
rebuilding my empire.
501
00:21:18,146 --> 00:21:20,801
You could be your own brand
with my help.
502
00:21:20,844 --> 00:21:22,977
Brand?
What, like a toothpaste?
503
00:21:23,020 --> 00:21:25,936
Hey, honey, try Oprah.
504
00:21:25,980 --> 00:21:27,808
Or Beyoncé.
505
00:21:27,851 --> 00:21:31,159
Child, look, I'm busy.
506
00:21:31,202 --> 00:21:33,335
-Thanks for your time.
-What if I told you
you could fill in
507
00:21:33,379 --> 00:21:35,468
on The Viewfor Whoopi
508
00:21:35,511 --> 00:21:36,556
when she goes on vacation?
509
00:21:36,599 --> 00:21:40,211
I'd say you're blowing smoke
up my ass.
510
00:21:40,255 --> 00:21:41,561
That network president
I mentioned?
511
00:21:41,604 --> 00:21:43,258
She already approved it.
512
00:21:43,302 --> 00:21:46,740
Cookie Lyon,
I'm gonna change your life.
513
00:21:50,657 --> 00:21:52,615
Tee, I swear I'm-a need
blood pressure medicine
514
00:21:52,659 --> 00:21:55,270
-by the time I'm done working
with y'all.
-It's not my fault.
515
00:21:55,314 --> 00:21:57,011
She keeps stepping
all over my vocals.
516
00:21:57,054 --> 00:21:58,708
There would not be a problem
517
00:21:58,752 --> 00:22:00,362
if you would just sing
your part correctly.
518
00:22:00,406 --> 00:22:02,625
I'm singing my part correctly.
You're being extra.
519
00:22:02,669 --> 00:22:04,453
-Hey, hey.
-TREASURE: Really?
520
00:22:04,497 --> 00:22:06,455
What is this beef really about?
521
00:22:06,499 --> 00:22:08,414
I'll tell you what it's about.
You stole my song last time,
522
00:22:08,457 --> 00:22:10,720
and now she wants to turn aroundand steal my duet.
523
00:22:10,764 --> 00:22:12,853
No, that's not what happened.
524
00:22:12,896 --> 00:22:14,158
Jeff Kingsley
played me the track,
525
00:22:14,202 --> 00:22:15,246
and I thought it was fire.
526
00:22:15,290 --> 00:22:16,509
And then he told me
527
00:22:16,552 --> 00:22:17,640
it was Tiana's,
and if I really wanted it,
528
00:22:17,684 --> 00:22:20,295
I had to fight for it.
So what am I supposed to do?
529
00:22:20,339 --> 00:22:22,776
I'm the new girl.
530
00:22:25,431 --> 00:22:27,998
Eddie used to play
all these same games.
531
00:22:28,042 --> 00:22:30,653
Always comparing me
to somebody else.
532
00:22:30,697 --> 00:22:33,656
"Christina's vocals
are bigger than yours."
533
00:22:33,700 --> 00:22:35,528
"Beyoncé's moves
are better than yours."
534
00:22:35,571 --> 00:22:38,182
I couldn't even make it
out of the hospital
535
00:22:38,226 --> 00:22:41,272
before he told me,
"Lose the baby weight."
536
00:22:41,316 --> 00:22:43,274
JAMAL:
Mm.
537
00:22:43,318 --> 00:22:46,321
Damn near made me hate myself.
538
00:22:48,367 --> 00:22:51,195
And y'all don't even recognize
the connection here?
539
00:22:51,239 --> 00:22:54,503
I mean, really, you don't see
about just how you're playing
540
00:22:54,547 --> 00:22:56,026
right into the hands
of these men?
541
00:22:56,070 --> 00:22:58,028
I love you, Mal, but...
542
00:22:58,072 --> 00:22:59,465
what makes you
any different right now?
543
00:22:59,508 --> 00:23:01,510
TREASURE:
For real. You are
just another industry man
544
00:23:01,554 --> 00:23:02,859
telling two women what to do.
545
00:23:02,903 --> 00:23:05,688
-The same old thing.
-Okay, you know what?
546
00:23:05,732 --> 00:23:08,474
I-I'm gonna...
I'm gonna receive that.
547
00:23:08,517 --> 00:23:11,651
So let's say that it'sgonna be different from now on.
548
00:23:11,694 --> 00:23:14,871
We got two strong,
black, female artists.
549
00:23:14,915 --> 00:23:18,571
These men are herepitting y'all against each other
550
00:23:18,614 --> 00:23:21,138
to distract youfrom what your actual power is.
551
00:23:21,182 --> 00:23:22,488
Y'all together.
552
00:23:22,531 --> 00:23:24,359
Take all of that power, man,
553
00:23:24,403 --> 00:23:25,926
and put it into the music.
554
00:23:25,969 --> 00:23:28,450
I mean, look,I don't-I don't want to be a...
555
00:23:28,494 --> 00:23:30,713
an industry man
telling y'all what to do.
556
00:23:30,757 --> 00:23:33,281
-But can we try it again?
557
00:23:33,324 --> 00:23:35,283
Unified.
558
00:23:37,503 --> 00:23:39,896
-Hmm?
-Okay, okay.
559
00:23:39,940 --> 00:23:41,768
All right.
560
00:23:45,424 --> 00:23:46,686
Thank you, trinket.
561
00:23:46,729 --> 00:23:48,731
Oh, my...
Can y'all stop with that?
562
00:23:49,689 --> 00:23:51,168
-You like that one, don't you?
-TREASURE: Hey. Geez.
563
00:23:51,212 --> 00:23:52,474
You're a professional.
564
00:23:52,518 --> 00:23:55,434
All right.
565
00:23:59,220 --> 00:24:00,526
Thank you.
566
00:24:00,569 --> 00:24:03,529
All right, after the party,
567
00:24:03,572 --> 00:24:05,748
did you ever talk
to Damon Cross again?
568
00:24:05,792 --> 00:24:07,837
Nah.
It was just a one-off.
569
00:24:07,881 --> 00:24:09,622
He never called.
570
00:24:09,665 --> 00:24:12,886
What about Victor Horst?
571
00:24:16,193 --> 00:24:18,500
Look, I told you
everything I know, all right?
572
00:24:18,544 --> 00:24:20,415
Now you're showing me pictures
of dudes at Mar-a-Lago.
573
00:24:20,459 --> 00:24:21,764
I can't help you with that.
All right, now,
574
00:24:21,808 --> 00:24:23,287
they're expecting me
back at Empire-- I need
575
00:24:23,331 --> 00:24:25,246
-to get back to work.
-Victor... Horst.
576
00:24:28,031 --> 00:24:30,425
DAMON:
Where we at, Victor?
577
00:24:30,469 --> 00:24:33,210
I converted
the diamonds to euros
578
00:24:33,254 --> 00:24:36,344
and funneled the cash
through a charity.
579
00:24:36,387 --> 00:24:39,347
-Yeah, the Orphans
of Rwanda Fund?
-Yeah.
580
00:24:39,390 --> 00:24:41,697
Nobody questions dying orphans.
581
00:24:41,741 --> 00:24:43,525
Well, we, uh,
promised them ten percent.
582
00:24:43,569 --> 00:24:46,180
I called the orphanage.
They didn't receive their cut.
583
00:24:46,223 --> 00:24:48,312
Why the hell
would youtalk to them?
584
00:24:48,356 --> 00:24:50,750
THIRSTY:
It's called doing my job...
585
00:24:50,793 --> 00:24:52,360
-assclown.
-You don't work
586
00:24:52,403 --> 00:24:54,580
for Lucious Lyon anymore.
587
00:24:54,623 --> 00:24:57,583
You're supposed to just draw upthe transfer documents.
588
00:24:57,626 --> 00:24:59,628
DAMON:
So, tell me, Victor,
589
00:24:59,672 --> 00:25:02,196
how much money actually went
to the orphans?
590
00:25:02,239 --> 00:25:04,764
Here's the beauty of it:
I strong-armed
591
00:25:04,807 --> 00:25:06,243
the orphanage director
592
00:25:06,287 --> 00:25:08,550
to kick us back
the entire ten million.
593
00:25:08,594 --> 00:25:10,813
-THIRSTY: Eh...
594
00:25:10,857 --> 00:25:12,423
I did a little research.
595
00:25:12,467 --> 00:25:14,948
There's only nine million
in the offshore account.
596
00:25:17,211 --> 00:25:18,995
I think you made a mistake.
597
00:25:19,039 --> 00:25:21,694
Nah, I think you made
the mistake when you...
598
00:25:21,737 --> 00:25:22,956
pocketed...
599
00:25:22,999 --> 00:25:25,785
that ten... percent!
600
00:25:25,828 --> 00:25:29,397
I hate liars!
601
00:25:31,660 --> 00:25:34,576
You send two million dollars
to that orphanage.
602
00:25:34,620 --> 00:25:36,447
-Two million.
-Okay.
603
00:25:36,491 --> 00:25:39,494
And he is right about one thing:I ain't no Lucious Lyon.
604
00:25:39,538 --> 00:25:41,757
I'm a lot more dangerous.
605
00:25:43,280 --> 00:25:44,586
Clean him up.
606
00:25:44,630 --> 00:25:47,763
Get him up. Roll this up.
Get him out of here.
607
00:25:56,467 --> 00:25:57,947
LUCIOUS:
What we need
608
00:25:57,991 --> 00:25:59,601
is something bold and new
609
00:25:59,645 --> 00:26:01,647
to bring the fans
back to Empire.
610
00:26:01,690 --> 00:26:03,387
That's what I'm talking about.
611
00:26:03,431 --> 00:26:05,825
What makes you think people willeven buy tickets to this tour?
612
00:26:05,868 --> 00:26:07,827
We can't even get fans
to download music.
613
00:26:07,870 --> 00:26:10,612
Exactly. Empire is
in a very delicate situation.
614
00:26:10,656 --> 00:26:14,007
-A tour could be crippling.
-KELLY: From what I'm hearing,
615
00:26:14,050 --> 00:26:15,443
there's no clear vision
on how to fund
616
00:26:15,486 --> 00:26:16,836
-this tour.
-LUCIOUS: No vision?
617
00:26:16,879 --> 00:26:18,707
I mean, you're responsible
for us being
618
00:26:18,751 --> 00:26:20,840
-in this position, Kelly.
-KELLY: Excuse me?
619
00:26:20,883 --> 00:26:21,971
COOKIE:
Yeah, excuse you.
620
00:26:22,015 --> 00:26:23,494
You hired the computer geek
621
00:26:23,538 --> 00:26:24,626
to run our company.
622
00:26:24,670 --> 00:26:26,280
GISELLE:So now you're gonna blame Kelly
623
00:26:26,323 --> 00:26:28,412
for Kingsley's vendetta
against his daddy?
624
00:26:28,456 --> 00:26:30,763
COOKIE:
What do you know about running
a company, Giselle, huh?
625
00:26:30,806 --> 00:26:32,765
-Eddie made all
of the decisions.
-Eddie made
626
00:26:32,808 --> 00:26:34,767
all the decisions?
First of all, that's not true.
627
00:26:34,810 --> 00:26:35,681
-Whatever. Shut up.
-ANDRE: Stop, everybody stop,
628
00:26:35,724 --> 00:26:36,769
stop!
Will you stop?!
629
00:26:36,812 --> 00:26:38,118
Everybody stop!
630
00:26:39,554 --> 00:26:41,251
What the hell
is wrong with you?!
631
00:26:41,295 --> 00:26:42,644
Every minute spent fighting
632
00:26:42,688 --> 00:26:46,082
is another
Empire's not making money!
633
00:26:47,823 --> 00:26:50,870
How the hell can we expectto rebuild our customers' trust?
634
00:26:50,913 --> 00:26:53,176
You can't even trust each other.

is a number-one single.

Thirsty, we know
that you met Victor Horst
669
00:28:33,712 --> 00:28:35,409
in Damon Cross's hangar.
670
00:28:35,452 --> 00:28:37,106
Look, I don't know
a Victor Horst.
671
00:28:37,150 --> 00:28:38,934
Really? So then
how do you explain
672
00:28:38,978 --> 00:28:41,241
a dozen calls
from your cell to his?
673
00:28:42,851 --> 00:28:44,984
We have phone records.
We have correspondence.
674
00:28:45,027 --> 00:28:48,814
We have checks from your accountto his company in Geneva.
675
00:28:50,903 --> 00:28:53,122
You know what? You're gonna
end up just like Victor Horst
676
00:28:53,166 --> 00:28:55,429
if you keep hanging out
with Damon Cross.
677
00:28:55,472 --> 00:28:57,910
So why don't you cooperate
so that we can protect you?
678
00:28:57,953 --> 00:28:59,999
THIRSTY:
Look, I've been with the Lyons for a long time.
679
00:29:00,042 --> 00:29:01,783
Okay? They're like family to me.
680
00:29:01,827 --> 00:29:04,612
If Lucious wants to play poker,
I make a call, that's it.
681
00:29:04,655 --> 00:29:05,874
Mm-mm. That don't explain
682
00:29:05,918 --> 00:29:08,137
where he came up
with the buy-in.
683
00:29:08,181 --> 00:29:10,661
Maybe Lucious isn't as broke
as what people think.
684
00:29:10,705 --> 00:29:13,012
So...
685
00:29:13,055 --> 00:29:14,796
his money real?
686
00:29:14,840 --> 00:29:17,190
Get me in the game tonight.
I want to meet him.
687
00:29:17,233 --> 00:29:18,931
For what?
688
00:29:18,974 --> 00:29:22,021
Hey. Get me in the game.
689
00:29:22,064 --> 00:29:24,284
-Look, all I'm saying is
it's not a good...
-Nah. You made a call.
690
00:29:24,327 --> 00:29:25,894
You make another call.
691
00:29:31,944 --> 00:29:33,336
Get me in the game.
692
00:29:34,555 --> 00:29:36,122
Tonight.
693
00:29:43,869 --> 00:29:45,174
It's okay. All right.
694
00:29:45,218 --> 00:29:47,089
Get him in the game.
He wants to get in the game...
695
00:29:47,133 --> 00:29:48,612
CONWAY:
What is the connection
between Damon Cross
696
00:29:48,656 --> 00:29:50,876
-and Lucious...
-There is no connection
between Damon Cross
697
00:29:50,919 --> 00:29:53,008
-and Lucious Lyon.
-You're lying.
698
00:29:56,055 --> 00:29:58,884
CONWAY:
So you're telling me
it's just a coincidence
699
00:29:58,927 --> 00:30:00,755
that Damon has this painting?
700
00:30:02,670 --> 00:30:04,411
-GISELLE: This is great.
-WOMAN: Okay.
-Hey.
701
00:30:04,454 --> 00:30:06,935
I was just on my way out,
and something was bugging me.
702
00:30:06,979 --> 00:30:08,894
Do-do you got a minute?
703
00:30:08,937 --> 00:30:10,025
Yeah. Sure.
704
00:30:14,377 --> 00:30:16,858
I owe you an apology.
705
00:30:16,902 --> 00:30:18,904
What for?
706
00:30:18,947 --> 00:30:22,037
Making Kingsley CEO over you.
707
00:30:22,081 --> 00:30:24,997
If I had made the right choice
in the first place,
708
00:30:25,040 --> 00:30:27,913
Empire wouldn't be in this mess.
709
00:30:27,956 --> 00:30:32,004
Well, I appreciate you
telling me this in person.
710
00:30:34,180 --> 00:30:38,097
Generally, I don't-I don't
like coming to New York.
711
00:30:38,140 --> 00:30:41,100
But seeing you
kind of makes it all worth it.
712
00:30:42,928 --> 00:30:45,060
Well, it's really good
to see you, too...
713
00:30:45,104 --> 00:30:47,454
-Kelly.
-LUCIOUS: Oh, my God.
714
00:30:47,497 --> 00:30:49,760
-Thank God I caught you.
-Lucious, I don't want
715
00:30:49,804 --> 00:30:51,806
-to relitigate any of this.
-Listen,
716
00:30:51,850 --> 00:30:53,939
under Kingsley's leadership,
717
00:30:53,982 --> 00:30:56,245
Empire betrayed
the trust of its fans.
718
00:30:56,289 --> 00:30:57,464
COOKIE:
Yeah, so...
719
00:30:57,507 --> 00:30:59,988
we owe our Empire family a debt.
720
00:31:00,032 --> 00:31:01,511
Let's repay it.
721
00:31:01,555 --> 00:31:02,948
Okay.
722
00:31:02,991 --> 00:31:05,689
-Okay, tell me how.
-LUCIOUS: We want to make
723
00:31:05,733 --> 00:31:09,128
the concert tour
completely free.
724
00:31:09,171 --> 00:31:11,695
KELLY:
So your answer
725
00:31:11,739 --> 00:31:14,046
to "Empire can't afford a tour"is to make the tour free?
726
00:31:14,089 --> 00:31:16,918
-Yes.
-KELLY: That's heartfelt,
727
00:31:16,962 --> 00:31:19,965
but also reckless
and likely to bankrupt you.
728
00:31:20,008 --> 00:31:22,184
My 40% says no.
729
00:31:22,228 --> 00:31:23,533
Hellno.
730
00:31:23,577 --> 00:31:27,146
-Giselle?-Look, I know it's crazy, but...
731
00:31:27,189 --> 00:31:29,322
this is exactly
the kind of grand mea culpa
732
00:31:29,365 --> 00:31:30,932
that just might work.
733
00:31:30,976 --> 00:31:32,194
Hear me out.
734
00:31:32,238 --> 00:31:34,066
The free publicity
will offset the costs.
735
00:31:34,109 --> 00:31:37,156
The tour will drive up
the record sales.
736
00:31:37,199 --> 00:31:39,593
I can't believe I'm saying this,but I think I'm gonna side
737
00:31:39,636 --> 00:31:42,030
with Lucious and Cookie
on this one.
738
00:31:42,074 --> 00:31:44,815
-Yes! Smart woman.
-Amen. Thank you.
739
00:31:44,859 --> 00:31:47,731
All right.
Majority rules.
740
00:31:47,775 --> 00:31:50,299
But... corporate
is not contributing a dime.
741
00:31:50,343 --> 00:31:52,736
No. We got all of this, man.
742
00:31:52,780 --> 00:31:54,129
KELLY:
You better.
743
00:31:54,173 --> 00:31:56,044
Because Empire
will either end up
744
00:31:56,088 --> 00:31:57,611
bigger and stronger than ever
745
00:31:57,654 --> 00:31:59,134
or flat broke
and on the auction block.
746
00:31:59,178 --> 00:32:01,789
I'm going for bigger than ever.
747
00:32:01,832 --> 00:32:04,226
-Good luck. Cookie.
-Mm-hmm.
748
00:32:04,270 --> 00:32:05,967
-Thanks for nothin'.
-LUCIOUS: Look at you!
749
00:32:06,011 --> 00:32:09,449
-20%. Thank you.
-Hey, shut up.
750
00:32:09,492 --> 00:32:13,061
-GISELLE:
I mean, here we go.
-Yeah.
751
00:32:16,021 --> 00:32:18,762
Why would Damon Cross
want a painting
752
00:32:18,806 --> 00:32:21,200
of two people
he didn't even know?
753
00:32:24,029 --> 00:32:25,813
It's not what you think.
754
00:32:36,955 --> 00:32:38,217
Oh. Geez.
755
00:32:38,260 --> 00:32:41,046
You knew the game was gonna
get hit and you set me up?
756
00:32:41,089 --> 00:32:42,264
Who you-who you
talking about-- Horst?
757
00:32:42,308 --> 00:32:43,222
Come on, man.
That don't make no sense.
758
00:32:43,265 --> 00:32:45,180
-What?
-I tried to tell you
not to play.
759
00:32:45,224 --> 00:32:47,878
Tried to do what? You didn't
try to tell me nothing, man.
760
00:32:47,922 --> 00:32:49,271
Okay, I had nothing to do
with that robbery.
761
00:32:49,315 --> 00:32:50,925
-Come on.
-I don't care at all, man.
762
00:32:50,969 --> 00:32:53,493
I'm out $250K,
and I want it right now.
763
00:32:53,536 --> 00:32:56,365
Okay, okay...
Okay, look.
764
00:32:56,409 --> 00:32:58,933
Okay, now, I can make it right.I can make it right, okay?
765
00:32:58,977 --> 00:33:00,282
-You can make it right?
-Can I walk?
766
00:33:00,326 --> 00:33:02,676
Let me show you.
Okay, look.
767
00:33:02,719 --> 00:33:05,287
All right.
768
00:33:05,331 --> 00:33:08,290
Just give me a second.
769
00:33:08,334 --> 00:33:10,423
This is an or-original
Derrick Adams, okay?
770
00:33:10,466 --> 00:33:12,642
It's worth
at least half a million,
771
00:33:12,686 --> 00:33:14,514
twice what you lost, okay?
I can sell it
772
00:33:14,557 --> 00:33:16,081
in a couple days
and get you your money.
773
00:33:16,124 --> 00:33:18,300
Nah, you ain't selling it.
774
00:33:18,344 --> 00:33:19,910
I can-I can get you the money
in a couple of days.
775
00:33:21,216 --> 00:33:22,870
I kind of like it.
776
00:33:24,089 --> 00:33:27,092
Oh, okay. Okay, it's yours.
It's yours.
777
00:33:29,485 --> 00:33:31,661
Okay.
778
00:33:31,705 --> 00:33:34,055
You got me, all right?
I've been lying.
779
00:33:36,710 --> 00:33:38,407
I've been telling you
that this is a story
780
00:33:38,451 --> 00:33:40,844
about a guy and a girl,
but really this is a story
781
00:33:40,888 --> 00:33:43,064
about a guy trying to be
something that he's not.
782
00:33:44,109 --> 00:33:46,111
Okay.
783
00:33:50,941 --> 00:33:53,074
Vera-- she, um...
784
00:33:53,118 --> 00:33:57,252
she liked the idea
of her man being a tough guy.
785
00:33:59,254 --> 00:34:02,083
But I'm not a tough guy.
786
00:34:02,127 --> 00:34:03,867
And I've never been
on the inside
787
00:34:03,911 --> 00:34:06,348
with Lucious or Damon Cross.
788
00:34:06,392 --> 00:34:09,917
I was just trying to keep up
appearances to keep my girl.
789
00:34:09,960 --> 00:34:14,095
What does that have to do withDamon Cross having the painting?
790
00:34:14,139 --> 00:34:16,663
Lucious' dumb ass--
he-he thought
791
00:34:16,706 --> 00:34:19,361
he'd sucker Damon Cross into
a high-stakes poker game, but
792
00:34:19,405 --> 00:34:22,451
Damon turned the tables on him,cleaned him out,
793
00:34:22,495 --> 00:34:24,366
took him for everything
that night.
794
00:34:24,410 --> 00:34:26,368
Lucious had to pay him
with the painting.
795
00:34:26,412 --> 00:34:30,416
He got scared, and he made me
deliver it to him.
796
00:34:32,418 --> 00:34:34,463
So you're just a...
797
00:34:34,507 --> 00:34:36,813
mailman in a shiny suit?
798
00:34:38,946 --> 00:34:41,383
I was just trying
to keep my girl.
799
00:34:47,389 --> 00:34:49,739
All right, everyone, listen up.
800
00:34:49,783 --> 00:34:52,699
We've gathered
our Empire family together
801
00:34:52,742 --> 00:34:55,354
to make
a very special announcement.
802
00:34:55,397 --> 00:34:59,271
A dozen of Empire
and LFM artists are going
803
00:34:59,314 --> 00:35:02,578
to embark on a nationwide tour.
804
00:35:02,622 --> 00:35:04,406
-COOKIE: Yes.
805
00:35:04,450 --> 00:35:06,974
It will be called
The Trust Tour.
806
00:35:07,017 --> 00:35:09,498
And to regain the trust
of our fans,
807
00:35:09,542 --> 00:35:13,067
all concert tickets
will be absolutely free.
808
00:35:13,111 --> 00:35:15,591
-I-I'm sure you're thinking,
809
00:35:15,635 --> 00:35:18,203
if the tickets are free,
how do you get paid, right?
810
00:35:18,246 --> 00:35:20,814
Well, Empire's gonna
guarantee your pay.
811
00:35:20,857 --> 00:35:23,382
Everyone's gonna receive
their normal salaries
812
00:35:23,425 --> 00:35:26,167
and normal fees per contract.
813
00:35:26,211 --> 00:35:28,343
But to kick this thing off
the right way,
814
00:35:28,387 --> 00:35:30,389
what we're gonna do is
start this off
815
00:35:30,432 --> 00:35:33,087
in the very same city
where Empire was born
816
00:35:33,131 --> 00:35:35,568
20 years ago--
the City of Brotherly Love,
817
00:35:35,611 --> 00:35:37,178
Philadelphia.
818
00:35:41,661 --> 00:35:44,229
What the hell happened to Andre?He should be here.
819
00:35:44,272 --> 00:35:45,621
Uh, yeah, he's somewhere
in his feelings.
820
00:35:48,450 --> 00:35:51,410
You. I'm gonna need you
to get ready,
821
00:35:51,453 --> 00:35:53,629
because I want youto choreograph the whole thing.
822
00:35:53,673 --> 00:35:55,762
-Are you kidding?
-I'm not kidding.
823
00:35:55,805 --> 00:35:58,460
-You got it.
It's not a problem.
-Thank you so much.
824
00:35:58,504 --> 00:36:00,549
So you guys know y'all gonna
need a tour manager, right?
825
00:36:00,593 --> 00:36:02,247
Yeah, do you know of one?
826
00:36:02,290 --> 00:36:03,465
Yeah. You're looking at her.
827
00:36:03,509 --> 00:36:04,640
Girl, get your ass out of here.
828
00:36:04,684 --> 00:36:06,468
LUCIOUS:
You good?
829
00:36:06,512 --> 00:36:08,209
-Yeah.
-That was beautiful, man,
that love.
830
00:36:08,253 --> 00:36:10,429
Hey. You out here
planning tours for free?
831
00:36:10,472 --> 00:36:11,647
-Come here.
-For free, though?
832
00:36:11,691 --> 00:36:13,345
-Trust me on this one.
-LUCIOUS: All right,
833
00:36:13,388 --> 00:36:14,650
listen, everybody.
I know this is
834
00:36:14,694 --> 00:36:16,217
gonna be one of the biggest
835
00:36:16,261 --> 00:36:19,220
and baddest tours
that Empire's ever set out on.
836
00:36:19,264 --> 00:36:20,700
So I'm gonna need y'all
837
00:36:20,743 --> 00:36:22,876
-to bring your A game.
-COOKIE: That's right.
838
00:36:22,919 --> 00:36:26,314
-To the Empire!
-ALL: To the Empire!
839
00:36:26,358 --> 00:36:28,229
-Let's get to work.
840
00:36:28,273 --> 00:36:29,448
Hey. Hey.
841
00:36:39,414 --> 00:36:41,155
TERI:
Guess what I got.
842
00:36:41,199 --> 00:36:43,288
Oh, just
a little somethin' somethin'.
843
00:36:44,767 --> 00:36:47,422
This is my grandmother's...
844
00:36:49,424 --> 00:36:51,426
...secret recipe.
845
00:36:54,429 --> 00:36:56,257
I need your John Hancock.
846
00:36:56,301 --> 00:36:58,259
Mm, for what?
847
00:36:58,303 --> 00:37:00,609
Trust.
848
00:37:02,959 --> 00:37:07,529
I want Quincy to have the futurethe system stole from him.
849
00:37:07,573 --> 00:37:09,879
And I want
to give you the world.
850
00:37:14,101 --> 00:37:15,450
What's going on here?
851
00:37:17,713 --> 00:37:19,324
The nose...
852
00:37:19,367 --> 00:37:21,935
the nosebleeds, the...
853
00:37:21,978 --> 00:37:23,763
the doctor?
This... The...
854
00:37:23,806 --> 00:37:26,505
Wh... What... what is this?
855
00:37:29,812 --> 00:37:33,033
I have cancer, Teri.
856
00:37:34,904 --> 00:37:37,907
Advanced lymphoma, stage IV.
857
00:37:39,474 --> 00:37:41,824
It's just... it's...
858
00:37:43,826 --> 00:37:46,481
It's a matter of time.
859
00:37:47,526 --> 00:37:49,136
I'm dying.
860
00:38:01,235 --> 00:38:04,934
How long...
how long did they say...
861
00:38:04,978 --> 00:38:07,546
you... you have?
862
00:38:07,589 --> 00:38:10,592
Sign the papers, please, Teri.
863
00:38:10,636 --> 00:38:12,377
No, how long?
864
00:38:12,420 --> 00:38:14,466
A few months.
865
00:38:14,509 --> 00:38:16,381
Oh.
866
00:38:16,424 --> 00:38:18,426
At best.
867
00:38:48,021 --> 00:38:50,023
Thank you.
868
00:38:53,766 --> 00:38:56,595
AGENT:
The things a guy'll do
to impress a girl, huh?
869
00:38:56,638 --> 00:38:58,553
His story pans out, butthat doesn't make it the truth.
870
00:38:58,597 --> 00:39:00,512
AGENT:Think we'll ever see him again?
871
00:39:00,555 --> 00:39:02,775
Probably.
In a body bag.
872
00:39:02,818 --> 00:39:05,691
Get me everything we have
on the Lyon clan.
873
00:39:07,606 --> 00:39:09,390
I just have
to find the precise crack
874
00:39:09,434 --> 00:39:11,479
and exert just the right amountof pressure.
875
00:39:11,523 --> 00:39:12,741
Before you know it,
876
00:39:12,785 --> 00:39:15,048
Chicken and Waffles
will be behind bars.
877
00:39:18,704 --> 00:39:20,401
What?
878
00:39:31,020 --> 00:39:33,022
You okay, baby?
879
00:39:34,023 --> 00:39:36,461
Yeah.
880
00:39:36,504 --> 00:39:38,463
DAMON:
She's fine.
881
00:39:38,506 --> 00:39:41,117
We was just worried about you.
882
00:39:42,467 --> 00:39:44,425
Okay.
883
00:39:44,469 --> 00:39:46,906
You were right.
884
00:39:46,949 --> 00:39:48,908
The Feds have been on you
for a while.
885
00:39:48,951 --> 00:39:49,996
Okay. What'd they know?
886
00:39:50,039 --> 00:39:51,476
Whole lot of nothing.
887
00:39:51,519 --> 00:39:53,869
-Even less
after I finished talking.
-Good.
888
00:39:57,699 --> 00:39:59,788
Now you can go.
889
00:39:59,832 --> 00:40:01,921
-Help me out.
-Go straight home, okay?
890
00:40:01,964 --> 00:40:03,662
-I'm right behind you.
-Okay.
891
00:40:03,705 --> 00:40:06,578
Hey. Hey, hey, where you going?
892
00:40:06,621 --> 00:40:07,840
Listen,
I did what you asked, okay?
893
00:40:07,883 --> 00:40:09,668
So now we're straight.
I'm out.
894
00:40:09,711 --> 00:40:11,713
Nah, you ain't out
till I say you out.
895
00:40:13,498 --> 00:40:16,588
I need you to keep an even
closer eye on Lucious for me.
896
00:40:16,631 --> 00:40:18,677
A closer eye on Lucious...
897
00:40:18,720 --> 00:40:20,592
or Cookie, my man?
898
00:40:25,292 --> 00:40:27,294
Yeah, that's what I thought.
899
00:40:32,908 --> 00:40:34,562
You know, six months ago,
900
00:40:34,606 --> 00:40:37,260
when we were stuck in that housewithout any AC,
901
00:40:37,304 --> 00:40:39,611
with no prospects, with...
902
00:40:39,654 --> 00:40:41,917
without two nickels
to rub together.
903
00:40:41,961 --> 00:40:43,702
Now look at us, man.
904
00:40:43,745 --> 00:40:44,964
We're back on the throne.
905
00:40:45,007 --> 00:40:47,488
I mean, this was
worth fighting for.
906
00:40:47,532 --> 00:40:49,708
Yeah, it's still
the biggest risk
907
00:40:49,751 --> 00:40:51,536
we've ever had to take, Lucious.
908
00:40:51,579 --> 00:40:53,625
Why are you being
so negative right now?
909
00:40:53,668 --> 00:40:56,366
I'm not negative.
I-I believe in us, okay?
910
00:40:56,410 --> 00:40:58,717
I'm just worried.
I'm-I'm scared.
911
00:40:58,760 --> 00:41:02,547
For Empire.
I'm scared about us.
912
00:41:02,590 --> 00:41:05,898
You know any time we've rolled
the dice on this family,
913
00:41:05,941 --> 00:41:07,552
we've always come up with seven.
914
00:41:08,596 --> 00:41:10,511
What happened with that meeting
915
00:41:10,555 --> 00:41:12,687
with that agent from L.A.?
916
00:41:14,384 --> 00:41:16,648
-Told her I'd think about it.
-You what?
917
00:41:16,691 --> 00:41:19,215
Baby, you're supposed to be
focused on this right now.
918
00:41:19,259 --> 00:41:21,348
Look, Lucious, like most women,
919
00:41:21,391 --> 00:41:23,959
I know how to multitask, okay?
920
00:41:24,003 --> 00:41:25,526
I am working on building
921
00:41:25,570 --> 00:41:27,397
my brand, which is only
gonna help Empire.
922
00:41:27,441 --> 00:41:28,703
I thought you would
know that, genius.
923
00:41:28,747 --> 00:41:30,357
Your brand?
924
00:41:30,400 --> 00:41:32,751
Yeah. My brand.
That's what I said.
925
00:41:32,794 --> 00:41:35,536
No, it's just funny that they'retrying to make you a star
926
00:41:35,580 --> 00:41:38,670
when you were already born
a celestial event.
927
00:41:38,713 --> 00:41:40,541
Come on.
928
00:41:40,585 --> 00:41:42,412
Celestial event.
929

930
00:41:53,641 --> 00:41:55,991
Hey.
931
00:41:56,035 --> 00:41:57,732
Andre.
932
00:41:58,733 --> 00:42:02,520
I cannot sign this, and I won't.
933
00:42:03,869 --> 00:42:04,783
It's for the both of you, Teri.
934
00:42:04,826 --> 00:42:06,393
It's for your future.
935
00:42:06,436 --> 00:42:08,134
Andre, if I sign these papers,
936
00:42:08,177 --> 00:42:11,267
that's me admitting
that there will be no future,
937
00:42:11,311 --> 00:42:13,400
that you'll be gone.
938
00:42:13,443 --> 00:42:15,837
That's what's
gonna happen, Teri.
939
00:42:15,881 --> 00:42:17,839
You did not come
into Quincy's life--
940
00:42:17,883 --> 00:42:20,755
into my life--
by accident.
941
00:42:20,799 --> 00:42:23,671
My son is back at home
where he belongs
942
00:42:23,715 --> 00:42:25,281
because of you.
943
00:42:25,325 --> 00:42:28,850
This-- this is not
how the story ends.
944
00:42:40,470 --> 00:42:41,994
You don't understand.
945
00:42:42,037 --> 00:42:43,517
I understand perfectly.
946
00:42:43,561 --> 00:42:46,607
-No, you don't.
-Yes, I do.
947
00:42:46,651 --> 00:42:49,741
I'm gonna help you fight, Andre.
948
00:42:49,784 --> 00:42:52,047
You...
949
00:42:52,091 --> 00:42:54,615
You did the impossible...
950
00:42:54,659 --> 00:42:56,661
for me.
951
00:42:58,837 --> 00:43:00,795
And so I'm gonna do
952
00:43:00,839 --> 00:43:03,363
the impossible for you.
953
00:43:07,019 --> 00:43:08,368
How?
954
00:43:10,936 --> 00:43:12,851
