1
00:00:01,740 --> 00:00:03,960
The Lyons are hitting back onEmpire.
2
00:00:04,004 --> 00:00:06,223
- May we rise.
- Like we always do.
3
00:00:06,267 --> 00:00:08,095
Catch all new episodes
Wednesdays.
4
00:00:08,138 --> 00:00:10,271

00:00:10,314 --> 00:00:13,100

6
00:00:13,143 --> 00:00:14,275
That's a win-win.
7
00:00:14,318 --> 00:00:15,972
Only on Fox.
8
00:00:17,321 --> 00:00:18,279
Previously onEmpire...
9
00:00:18,322 --> 00:00:20,629
I don't know what's worse...
the data mining
10
00:00:20,672 --> 00:00:22,326
or selling customer info
to the government.
11
00:00:22,370 --> 00:00:23,327
I had nothing to do with this.
12
00:00:23,371 --> 00:00:24,676
This is entirely Lucious Lyon.
13
00:00:24,720 --> 00:00:26,939
Cookie, I was wondering
if I could stay here.
14
00:00:26,983 --> 00:00:28,245
You can stay.
15
00:00:28,289 --> 00:00:29,942
So you're asking me to choose
between what's right
16
00:00:29,986 --> 00:00:31,466
and what's right
for your family?
17
00:00:31,509 --> 00:00:33,903
I think I need time
to think about our story.
18
00:00:33,946 --> 00:00:35,861
I have something to tell you
about Jeff Kingsley.
19
00:00:35,905 --> 00:00:38,299
What if I told you I couldhave
him out of Empire for good
20
00:00:38,342 --> 00:00:40,257
and get you back
running the company you built,
21
00:00:40,301 --> 00:00:41,519
with me as co-partner?
22
00:00:41,563 --> 00:00:44,914
Lucious Lyon is my father.
23
00:00:44,957 --> 00:00:47,090
You better tell me this is not true.
24
00:00:47,134 --> 00:00:49,527
So, what, you gonna leave...
25
00:00:52,356 --> 00:00:54,141
Let's get it straight, girl?
26
00:00:54,184 --> 00:00:57,100
You don't need a ...
for nothing...
27
00:00:57,144 --> 00:00:59,233
Baby... baby.
28
00:00:59,276 --> 00:01:02,801
We need this room, please.
29
00:01:02,845 --> 00:01:04,151
Hello! We need this room!
30
00:01:04,194 --> 00:01:06,805
Get the hell out!
31
00:01:06,849 --> 00:01:09,286
Look, baby. Baby, baby,
I didn't know...
32
00:01:09,330 --> 00:01:11,245
What? Where to find
the rubbers back in the day?
33
00:01:11,288 --> 00:01:12,115
No, I didn't know he was...
34
00:01:12,159 --> 00:01:15,249
Your son? Your own
flesh and blood? Really?
35
00:01:15,292 --> 00:01:17,207
I mean, it's not like
I took a paternity test
36
00:01:17,251 --> 00:01:18,339
or knew for certain or s...
37
00:01:18,382 --> 00:01:19,601
But you knew.
38
00:01:19,644 --> 00:01:22,473
How? Hmm?
39
00:01:22,517 --> 00:01:25,215
I went to see her.
40
00:01:25,259 --> 00:01:29,785
His mother, and I remembered
her, baby, I re...
41
00:01:29,828 --> 00:01:32,396
- We were young and...
- Screwing like rabbits.
42
00:01:32,440 --> 00:01:35,617
- No, we were... I was...
- How much more trouble
is this man meat of yours
43
00:01:35,660 --> 00:01:38,968
gonna cause me? - Baby,
I was s... 16 years old.
44
00:01:39,011 --> 00:01:40,709
I was young and dumb and...
45
00:01:40,752 --> 00:01:42,189
Don't you say it.
46
00:01:44,278 --> 00:01:45,583
Okay.
47
00:01:47,281 --> 00:01:48,543
We have bigger problems
48
00:01:48,586 --> 00:01:52,416
than some damn
paternity test, okay?
49
00:01:52,460 --> 00:01:55,202
If we let Jeff Kingsley
50
00:01:55,245 --> 00:01:57,291
run around telling people
51
00:01:57,334 --> 00:01:59,554
that you stole information
from people's phones,
52
00:01:59,597 --> 00:02:01,556
he could destroy
everything we've built.
53
00:02:01,599 --> 00:02:03,993
- I know.
- Shut your ass up!
54
00:02:07,388 --> 00:02:09,390
We got to take him down.
55
00:02:12,393 --> 00:02:15,874
And I don't care
if he's your damn son.
56
00:02:17,354 --> 00:02:20,140
I need to know you're with me, Lucious.
57
00:02:22,054 --> 00:02:24,100
Of course I am.
58
00:02:45,382 --> 00:02:47,428
All right, boys.
59
00:02:47,471 --> 00:02:50,344
It's time for us
to have a grown-up talk.
60
00:02:50,387 --> 00:02:52,868
Giselle told us she thinks
that she can convince
61
00:02:52,911 --> 00:02:56,437
Kelly Patel to sell us
part of Empire.
62
00:02:56,480 --> 00:02:57,829
If we can pull enough together.
63
00:02:57,873 --> 00:03:00,397
Patel is rather upset about
64
00:03:00,441 --> 00:03:03,008
his share prices tanking
65
00:03:03,052 --> 00:03:05,794
as a result of the bad press
right now.
66
00:03:05,837 --> 00:03:09,276
So he wants to reduce his riskby
cutting his stake in Empire?
67
00:03:09,319 --> 00:03:10,581
That's an opportunity for us.
68
00:03:10,625 --> 00:03:11,930
- Exact...
- Exactly.
69
00:03:11,974 --> 00:03:14,672
That's why Giselle was able
to convince him
70
00:03:14,716 --> 00:03:17,719
that whole data mining thing
was about Kingsley
71
00:03:17,762 --> 00:03:20,678
and not about me. Now,
if I can prove my innocence,
72
00:03:20,722 --> 00:03:23,377
then Giselle is willing to go
73
00:03:23,420 --> 00:03:25,640
and be a third partner
with me and your mother.
74
00:03:25,683 --> 00:03:28,077
- She inherited all those shares from Eddie.
- Yeah, well,
75
00:03:28,120 --> 00:03:29,383
you know, a good gold digger
76
00:03:29,426 --> 00:03:31,123
always keeps a few coins
in her bra.
77
00:03:31,167 --> 00:03:32,647
Here we go again,
just going back
78
00:03:32,690 --> 00:03:34,953
- to something that just brings out
the worst in us. - Oh, no, no,
79
00:03:34,997 --> 00:03:36,477
we're not going backwards.
80
00:03:36,520 --> 00:03:40,045
We are taking what's ours
and we're moving forward.
81
00:03:40,089 --> 00:03:41,482
Empire is built on Lyon blood,
82
00:03:41,525 --> 00:03:43,310
sweat and tears.
It belongs to us.
83
00:03:43,353 --> 00:03:45,529
- That's right.
- Thank you, Andre.
84
00:03:45,573 --> 00:03:48,053
Maybe you can help me find out
85
00:03:48,097 --> 00:03:50,055
how Kingsley was able
to pin that data mining on me.
86
00:03:50,099 --> 00:03:51,274
I got you, Pop.
87
00:03:51,318 --> 00:03:53,972
- And Jamal.
- Yeah?
88
00:03:54,016 --> 00:03:55,322
Look, man, I'm gonna need you
to talk to Kai
89
00:03:55,365 --> 00:03:59,064
and ask him to get some
of the people he interviewed
90
00:03:59,108 --> 00:04:01,545
to help me and your mother
in this.
91
00:04:01,589 --> 00:04:02,677
Yo, if you're gonna
backslide into a place
92
00:04:02,720 --> 00:04:04,374
that destroyed our family,
93
00:04:04,418 --> 00:04:06,158
I think y'all need
to do that yourself.
94
00:04:06,202 --> 00:04:08,335
Boy, did you forget
your last name is Lyon?
95
00:04:08,378 --> 00:04:11,555
The Lyons are Empire.
You are Empire.
96
00:04:11,599 --> 00:04:13,557
So no matter what you think
97
00:04:13,601 --> 00:04:16,517
or how you feel about it,
or how I feel about it,
98
00:04:16,560 --> 00:04:18,606
if it's tainted,
we're all tainted.
99
00:04:20,695 --> 00:04:22,174
I'll see what I can do.
100
00:04:22,218 --> 00:04:23,524
Thank you.
101
00:04:23,567 --> 00:04:24,568
What about me?
102
00:04:24,612 --> 00:04:26,483
LUCIOUS:We need you to get in the studio
103
00:04:26,527 --> 00:04:29,660
and knock out some raw bangers,
104
00:04:29,704 --> 00:04:33,098
so that when
we take back Empire,
105
00:04:33,142 --> 00:04:35,579
we'll be able to prove
that we still got it.
106
00:04:35,623 --> 00:04:37,407
- I got you.
- All right.
107
00:04:39,844 --> 00:04:42,151
Thank you, guys.
108
00:04:47,591 --> 00:04:50,246
So, we not just gonna ignore
that little long-lost DeBarge
109
00:04:50,290 --> 00:04:52,596
- says he's our brother?
- No.
110
00:04:52,640 --> 00:04:53,510
- I'm sorry.
- We should beat his ass.
111
00:04:53,554 --> 00:04:54,946
We ain't gonna
beat nobody's ass.
112
00:04:54,990 --> 00:04:56,383
I'm worried about Mom.
113
00:04:56,426 --> 00:04:58,515
She up in here acting
like everything is okay.
114
00:04:58,559 --> 00:05:00,474
Just... No point in that, man.
115
00:05:00,517 --> 00:05:02,171
You know she'd rather fight
than feel.
116
00:05:05,653 --> 00:05:08,395
Look, I'm not letting some
white boy shouting "poor me"
117
00:05:08,438 --> 00:05:09,613
stake a claim to my birthright.
118
00:05:09,657 --> 00:05:11,485
Now, if he's telling the truth,
119
00:05:11,528 --> 00:05:14,183
I say we treat him like family.
120
00:05:14,226 --> 00:05:16,881
Tear his ass down.
121
00:05:18,883 --> 00:05:21,190
And then I fly out to London
at the end of the week.
122
00:05:21,233 --> 00:05:22,844
Kai, what are we doing?
123
00:05:22,887 --> 00:05:25,499
I mean, you love me,
I love you.
124
00:05:25,542 --> 00:05:27,414
There's none of this stuff
we can't figure out.
125
00:05:27,457 --> 00:05:29,372
- Mal, I need time.
- You've had time.
126
00:05:29,416 --> 00:05:31,243
Two days?
127
00:05:31,287 --> 00:05:33,420
Whatever, take your CP time,
then, with your slow ass.
128
00:05:34,464 --> 00:05:35,857
Well...
129
00:05:35,900 --> 00:05:38,381
Let me have this.
130
00:05:38,425 --> 00:05:40,992
- How's Becky?
- She's scared.
131
00:05:41,036 --> 00:05:43,430
Kingsley damn near
had her arrested.
132
00:05:43,473 --> 00:05:45,388
You know, the whole thing
could kind of ruin her.
133
00:05:45,432 --> 00:05:48,870
That's why
I was... I was thinking, um...
134
00:05:50,828 --> 00:05:53,440
Trust me, I feel stupid
even bringing this up.
135
00:05:53,483 --> 00:05:55,964
But would you consider, um,
136
00:05:56,007 --> 00:05:58,053
talking to my dad
about your sources?
137
00:05:58,096 --> 00:05:59,968
- He's just trying to figure some stuff...
- Wow. Okay, Jamal.
138
00:06:00,011 --> 00:06:01,665
- Uh, is this why we're here?
- I'm sorry. No.
139
00:06:01,709 --> 00:06:04,494
To do this for your daddy?
Again?
140
00:06:04,538 --> 00:06:06,453
I'll text you when I get back.
141
00:06:06,496 --> 00:06:07,976
Why don't you
take this time and see
142
00:06:08,019 --> 00:06:09,673
if you want to be my husband
143
00:06:09,717 --> 00:06:13,285
- or Cookie and Lucious' son.
- I can be both.
144
00:06:13,329 --> 00:06:15,331
- Can you?
- You know what, Kai? Don't help my dad.
145
00:06:15,375 --> 00:06:18,639
You know, kind of like
I told you already.
146
00:06:18,682 --> 00:06:20,684
But Becky,
she didn't do anything.
147
00:06:20,728 --> 00:06:22,556
And the fact of the matter is,
is that this is your story,
148
00:06:22,599 --> 00:06:24,122
so you could fix it.
149
00:06:26,168 --> 00:06:27,865
Take care.
150
00:06:39,399 --> 00:06:41,357
So are you gonna let me talk now,
151
00:06:41,401 --> 00:06:43,881
or are you gonna
keep telling me to shut up?
152
00:06:43,925 --> 00:06:46,536
I told you, we have bigger
problems than your little...
153
00:06:46,580 --> 00:06:48,712
Look, I know, but how
are you gonna blame me
154
00:06:48,756 --> 00:06:51,236
and hold me responsible
for something that I did
155
00:06:51,280 --> 00:06:53,238
before I even met you, baby?
156
00:06:53,282 --> 00:06:56,590
Please, man, I t...
157
00:06:56,633 --> 00:06:58,505
Please tell me
you have good news.
158
00:06:58,548 --> 00:06:59,506
Oh, I wish I did.
159
00:06:59,549 --> 00:07:02,030
It looks like the victims
of Empire's data mining
160
00:07:02,073 --> 00:07:03,640
are about to file
a $100 million lawsuit
161
00:07:03,684 --> 00:07:06,861
- against you and Becky.
- What?!
162
00:07:06,904 --> 00:07:08,732
- For what?!
- For the whole data mining scheme.
163
00:07:08,776 --> 00:07:10,081
$100 million lawsuit.
164
00:07:10,125 --> 00:07:12,301
Man, that'll take LFM.
165
00:07:12,344 --> 00:07:15,086
The house.
It would... it will ruin us.
166
00:07:18,612 --> 00:07:19,961
Here's what Kingsley's
got on you, Pop:
167
00:07:20,004 --> 00:07:21,702
e-mails between you and Becky
telling her
168
00:07:21,745 --> 00:07:23,617
to change the terms of service
169
00:07:23,660 --> 00:07:25,619
and to begin stealing
Empire's user data.
170
00:07:25,662 --> 00:07:28,709
Wait, well, how did he get
my e-mails in the first place?
171
00:07:28,752 --> 00:07:29,971
Did you fill anything out?
172
00:07:30,014 --> 00:07:31,363
You know, give anybody
your password or...
173
00:07:31,407 --> 00:07:33,975
Hell no, I'd never
do something like that.
174
00:07:35,890 --> 00:07:37,544
Okay. Look, we'll figure it out,
Pop. Okay?
175
00:07:37,587 --> 00:07:39,633
If we can prove that
you didn't send these e-mails,
176
00:07:39,676 --> 00:07:41,286
we'll be in the clear.
177
00:07:41,330 --> 00:07:42,287
Okay, well, whatever
you're gonna do,
178
00:07:42,331 --> 00:07:43,593
you got to do it quickly.
179
00:07:43,637 --> 00:07:45,639
After the lawsuit
files on Friday,
180
00:07:45,682 --> 00:07:47,641
we're not gonna be able
to stop this train.
181
00:07:47,684 --> 00:07:48,555
And then, uh, I got to go,
uh, calm Becky down,
182
00:07:48,598 --> 00:07:49,686
'cause she's freaking out.
183
00:07:49,730 --> 00:07:52,210
Yeah, just let her know
that we got her, man.
184
00:07:52,254 --> 00:07:54,778
- Okay.
- Listen, Andre, um,
185
00:07:54,822 --> 00:07:57,999
I know we got things
we need to talk about.
186
00:07:58,042 --> 00:07:59,957
What, Kingsley's
little pity party?
187
00:08:00,001 --> 00:08:02,220
I know who my father is,
188
00:08:02,264 --> 00:08:03,439
and I know who he's not.
189
00:08:03,483 --> 00:08:05,528
We're good, Pop.
190
00:08:05,572 --> 00:08:07,617
- Ah. There you are.
- Oh.
191
00:08:07,661 --> 00:08:09,619
Future son-in-law.
192
00:08:09,663 --> 00:08:11,621
Tell me you've
got something for us.
193
00:08:11,665 --> 00:08:13,362
Um, I... I don't know
if it'll help or not,
194
00:08:13,405 --> 00:08:15,973
but, uh, it's a source maybe
y'all should look at?
195
00:08:16,017 --> 00:08:17,801
Come on.
Come here.
196
00:08:19,586 --> 00:08:21,326
Uh, now, this guy
used to be irrelevant.
197
00:08:21,370 --> 00:08:24,591
Then somehow, magically,
he found your e-mails,
198
00:08:24,634 --> 00:08:26,114
leaked the whole thing.
199
00:08:26,157 --> 00:08:27,463
Now he's WikiLeaks 2. 0
200
00:08:27,507 --> 00:08:29,421
and he's got millions
of followers.
201
00:08:29,465 --> 00:08:32,642
And you think that this guy
is working for Kingsley?
202
00:08:32,686 --> 00:08:35,210
Let's ask him.
203
00:09:08,809 --> 00:09:10,854
Excuse me.
204
00:09:10,898 --> 00:09:13,161
I'm kind of in the middle
of something here.
205
00:09:13,204 --> 00:09:14,684
Couldn't you be in the middle
of some headphones?
206
00:09:14,728 --> 00:09:15,859
We're trying to sleep.
207
00:09:15,903 --> 00:09:18,035
I'm sorry. Does the superstar
need her beauty rest?
208
00:09:18,079 --> 00:09:21,952
It don't take that much
for me to look this sexy.
209
00:09:23,258 --> 00:09:24,781
- Why are you even up?
- Because I'm trying
210
00:09:24,825 --> 00:09:27,044
- to get back to ballet.
- Aren't you over
211
00:09:27,088 --> 00:09:28,611
trying to be
black ballerina Barbie?
212
00:09:28,655 --> 00:09:30,004
Aren't you over trying to make
213
00:09:30,047 --> 00:09:31,527
the sixth remix to "Drip Drop"?
214
00:09:31,571 --> 00:09:32,876
You know, for your sake,
215
00:09:32,920 --> 00:09:34,748
I really hope that your fans
never gain taste.
216
00:09:34,791 --> 00:09:36,750
You might want to try something new
217
00:09:36,793 --> 00:09:38,534
or step outside of your box
before you tell me what to do.
218
00:09:39,796 --> 00:09:41,537
Excuse me.
219
00:09:50,459 --> 00:09:51,895
- Here she comes!
- Cookie!
220
00:09:51,939 --> 00:09:53,854
- Cookie!
- Cookie, is Jeff Kingsley a "break baby"
221
00:09:53,897 --> 00:09:55,116
or did Lucious cheat on you?
222
00:09:55,159 --> 00:09:56,683
Cookie, what would you
tell women all over the world
223
00:09:56,726 --> 00:09:58,293
who have been lied to by their men?
224
00:09:58,336 --> 00:09:59,990
Black Twitter's calling you
"Chickenhead of the Decade. "
225
00:10:00,034 --> 00:10:01,688
- Any comment?
- Bet you won't say that to her face, ho!
226
00:10:01,731 --> 00:10:03,733
Mrs. Lyon has no comment.
227
00:10:03,777 --> 00:10:05,082
Just one comment!
228
00:10:05,126 --> 00:10:06,301
- Cookie!
- One comment!
229
00:10:15,136 --> 00:10:17,094
Becky, we can't just
sit here sad all day.
230
00:10:17,138 --> 00:10:19,053
Mm-mmm, no, yes, we can.
231
00:10:19,096 --> 00:10:20,707
'Cause we are going
through it, okay?
232
00:10:20,750 --> 00:10:22,534
I'm gonna have to work
at a beauty supply
233
00:10:22,578 --> 00:10:24,232
when this lawsuit
is done with me.
234
00:10:24,275 --> 00:10:25,755
Do you understand
what that means?
235
00:10:25,799 --> 00:10:27,670
I ain't going back
to synthetic hair.
236
00:10:27,714 --> 00:10:29,150
I've been living
the Remy life too long,
237
00:10:29,193 --> 00:10:31,021
and do you even know how
expensive it is to go natural?
238
00:10:31,065 --> 00:10:32,022
Oh, calm your ass down.
239
00:10:32,066 --> 00:10:33,676
You got to think
about my edges, Mal.
240
00:10:33,720 --> 00:10:35,547
You know what's gonna make
you feel better? - Nothing.
241
00:10:35,591 --> 00:10:37,332
Music.
242
00:10:37,375 --> 00:10:39,900
Look.
I just made this.
243
00:10:44,774 --> 00:10:47,255
I'm probably, I'm probably
gon' lose some battles...
244
00:10:47,298 --> 00:10:48,822
You're so dumb.
245
00:10:48,865 --> 00:10:51,912
But, see, you can't feel sad
listening to the beat.
246
00:10:51,955 --> 00:10:53,522
You actually might be right.
247
00:10:53,565 --> 00:10:55,611
This is really dope.
248
00:10:55,655 --> 00:10:57,178
When you putting this out
as a single?
249
00:10:57,221 --> 00:10:58,570
Oh, it's not for me.
It's for Devon.
250
00:10:58,614 --> 00:10:59,920
He's gonna kill it.
251
00:10:59,963 --> 00:11:02,096
Devon?
Are you serious?
252
00:11:02,139 --> 00:11:03,750
This needs to be a Jamal solo.
253
00:11:03,793 --> 00:11:05,360
Mm-mmm.
254
00:11:05,403 --> 00:11:07,188
Besides,
Kai says it's reductive.
255
00:11:07,231 --> 00:11:09,146
Oh, Kai says it... Ugh.
256
00:11:09,190 --> 00:11:10,844
I didn't realize
that Kai was doing A&R
257
00:11:10,887 --> 00:11:11,975
down in Afghanistan, huh?
258
00:11:12,019 --> 00:11:14,064
You need to stop
letting your man
259
00:11:14,108 --> 00:11:16,850
come between you and your music.
You're losing yourself.
260
00:11:16,893 --> 00:11:18,286
That's an urban legend.
261
00:11:18,329 --> 00:11:19,591
- Is it?
- Okay?
262
00:11:21,768 --> 00:11:23,813
Whatever.
263
00:11:23,857 --> 00:11:26,337
I guess you canbe sad
listening to this.
264
00:11:26,381 --> 00:11:27,948
Well, no, no, no.
265
00:11:27,991 --> 00:11:30,124
Hold on.
Let's not give up so easily.
266
00:11:30,167 --> 00:11:31,734
All right,
267
00:11:31,778 --> 00:11:32,996
I'm gonna take you someplace
268
00:11:33,040 --> 00:11:34,911
that's gonna cheer you up.
Come on.
269
00:11:34,955 --> 00:11:36,739
- Where we going?
- Where we going?
270
00:11:36,783 --> 00:11:40,874
I said I'm a take you some place to
cheer you up.
271
00:11:40,917 --> 00:11:42,745
Like I said, I have no idea
272
00:11:42,789 --> 00:11:43,877
- what you're talking about.
- Look, we know you know,
273
00:11:43,920 --> 00:11:45,617
Mr. Moross. All right, now,
274
00:11:45,661 --> 00:11:46,749
you can talk to us,
or you can talk
275
00:11:46,793 --> 00:11:48,403
to the FBI.
Your choice.
276
00:11:48,446 --> 00:11:49,926
Anyone but you three.
277
00:11:49,970 --> 00:11:53,451
Goodbye. Don't let the doorknobhit
you on the way out.
278
00:11:53,495 --> 00:11:54,801
Look, I'm sorry.
279
00:11:54,844 --> 00:11:56,367
I don't know
what else we can do.
280
00:11:57,368 --> 00:11:59,022
It's all right, Kai.
281
00:11:59,066 --> 00:12:00,720
We tried it your way.
282
00:12:01,808 --> 00:12:03,984
I'm sorry, man.
283
00:12:04,027 --> 00:12:05,986
I'm burning up. I'm about to die from this heat.
284
00:12:06,029 --> 00:12:07,857
Scorching.
285
00:12:07,901 --> 00:12:09,903
Now, are you sure
286
00:12:09,946 --> 00:12:13,994
you don't want to answerthis
gentleman's nice questions?
287
00:12:14,037 --> 00:12:16,779
Are you deaf anddumb?
Please leave.
288
00:12:16,823 --> 00:12:17,954
Apparently, I'm both.
289
00:12:19,521 --> 00:12:21,262
We got this.
290
00:12:21,305 --> 00:12:23,046
Hey! Hey! Hey!
291
00:12:23,090 --> 00:12:25,440
- Wait! Wait! Wait!
- Oh, please!
292
00:12:25,483 --> 00:12:28,008
- Dre, Dre, Dre, Dre!
- No, no, no, no, no.
293
00:12:28,051 --> 00:12:29,574
- We tried it your way.
- Please! No!
294
00:12:29,618 --> 00:12:32,447
I... I... I... I don't know anything!
295
00:12:32,490 --> 00:12:34,449
Yeah, talk!
Or the next time you go viral
296
00:12:34,492 --> 00:12:35,972
- is gonna be at your funeral.
- What are you doing?
297
00:12:36,016 --> 00:12:37,147
- Stop! Pull him up!
- Come on.
298
00:12:37,191 --> 00:12:38,888
Hey, hey. Give him a minute.
299
00:12:38,932 --> 00:12:41,238
- I... I don't know anything!
- I think I'm losing my grip, Pop.
300
00:12:41,282 --> 00:12:42,892
Okay, I'll talk, I'll talk,
I'll talk, I'll talk!
301
00:12:44,067 --> 00:12:46,896
Who do you work for?
302
00:12:46,940 --> 00:12:48,811
Kingsley gave me
these documents to leak.
303
00:12:48,855 --> 00:12:50,073
Th... They made me relevant again.
304
00:12:50,117 --> 00:12:52,293
He faked all the e-mails,
I put them out.
305
00:12:52,336 --> 00:12:53,468
Yeah, well, we need proof.
306
00:12:53,511 --> 00:12:54,817
Documents, e-mails,
what do you got?
307
00:12:54,861 --> 00:12:55,862
Um, uh...
308
00:12:55,905 --> 00:12:57,907
uh...
309
00:13:02,477 --> 00:13:04,435
Check your source.
310
00:13:04,479 --> 00:13:07,438
You don't want to be getting
outsome fake news.
311
00:13:07,482 --> 00:13:09,484
Come on.
312
00:13:16,970 --> 00:13:19,711
Welcome to the family, son.
313
00:13:19,755 --> 00:13:21,888
That was a blast.
314
00:13:25,892 --> 00:13:28,068
Well, let me know
what the next step is.
315
00:13:28,111 --> 00:13:30,244
Okay.
Let me know how it goes. Bye.
316
00:13:30,287 --> 00:13:32,550
Ms. Cookie?
317
00:13:32,594 --> 00:13:34,291
- Someone's here for you.
- Thank you, Juanita.
318
00:13:34,335 --> 00:13:35,771
- Mm-hmm.
- Uh-uh.
319
00:13:35,815 --> 00:13:37,642
Hell, no. The last time
you was here, you told me
320
00:13:37,686 --> 00:13:39,253
I wasn't your sister,
so get the hell out my house!
321
00:13:39,296 --> 00:13:41,255
- We both said a lot of things.
- You tried to ruin
322
00:13:41,298 --> 00:13:43,126
- my marriage.
- You could've killed my son.
323
00:13:43,170 --> 00:13:44,519
- Look, you know that's not why...
- Look here, look here.
324
00:13:44,562 --> 00:13:45,868
Stop it. Stop!
325
00:13:49,611 --> 00:13:52,005
Look, I don't know
if we're good yet.
326
00:13:53,789 --> 00:13:57,097
But you're my sister,
and you're hurting.
327
00:13:57,140 --> 00:13:58,838
So I'm here.
328
00:14:02,319 --> 00:14:04,756
I'm sorry.
329
00:14:09,979 --> 00:14:11,938
I'm sorry.
330
00:14:13,287 --> 00:14:15,985
Old stank-ass.
331
00:14:17,726 --> 00:14:20,076
Students. Settle down.
332
00:14:20,120 --> 00:14:22,818
We have a special performance
about to begin.
333
00:14:23,863 --> 00:14:24,994
Y'all all right?
334
00:14:30,521 --> 00:14:32,045
Let's go!
335
00:14:36,049 --> 00:14:39,182
I'm probably, I'm probably
gon' lose some battles?
336
00:14:39,226 --> 00:14:43,317
I'm probably, I'm probably
gon' have to fight?
337
00:14:43,360 --> 00:14:47,016
But know it ain't nothing
that I can't handle?
338
00:14:47,060 --> 00:14:51,760
Eventually
I will be all right?
339
00:14:51,803 --> 00:14:53,283
I'm climbing, I'm shining?
340
00:14:53,327 --> 00:14:56,504
I'm goin' all the way
to the top?
341
00:14:56,547 --> 00:14:59,507
Goin' all the way, yeah?
342
00:14:59,550 --> 00:15:03,990
Decided I'm finally gonna
give it everything I got?
343
00:15:04,033 --> 00:15:07,950
Give it all or nothing,
nothing, yeah?
344
00:15:07,994 --> 00:15:09,865
Lose your problems?
345
00:15:09,909 --> 00:15:12,128
Go get whatever you want?
346
00:15:12,172 --> 00:15:13,738
Don't feel sorry?
347
00:15:13,782 --> 00:15:15,653
No time for weak,
so be strong?
348
00:15:15,697 --> 00:15:18,004
What's your reaction?
349
00:15:18,047 --> 00:15:19,962
When life got you in a funk?
350
00:15:20,006 --> 00:15:23,052
Are you gonna stay down,
are you gonna get up??
351
00:15:23,096 --> 00:15:26,795
I hope that you jump,
jump, oh?
352
00:15:26,838 --> 00:15:30,886
Are you gonna jump, jump, oh?
353
00:15:30,930 --> 00:15:35,021
Let go and jump, jump, oh?
354
00:15:35,978 --> 00:15:39,982
Jump, jump, oh.
355
00:15:47,598 --> 00:15:49,557
Yeah, man.
356
00:15:49,600 --> 00:15:53,082
Yo, yo, yo.
I'm so happy to be here.
357
00:15:53,126 --> 00:15:54,562
Thank you so much.
358
00:15:54,605 --> 00:15:56,216
I don't knowif y'all been reading the blogs
359
00:15:56,259 --> 00:15:57,782
and all that foolishness,
360
00:15:57,826 --> 00:15:59,784
but it's kind of been
a tough week,
361
00:15:59,828 --> 00:16:03,440
so I had to come home
to my own high school!
362
00:16:03,484 --> 00:16:04,485
I love you!
363
00:16:04,528 --> 00:16:06,487
What, what, what!
364
00:16:06,530 --> 00:16:08,793
I love y'all so much.
365
00:16:08,837 --> 00:16:10,621
Stick together, yeah?
366
00:16:21,197 --> 00:16:23,286
What's that?
More stolen user data?
367
00:16:23,330 --> 00:16:26,420
No, we found your leaker.
368
00:16:26,463 --> 00:16:29,510
Now, I've got to be honest
with you.
369
00:16:29,553 --> 00:16:32,426
I don't know the first thing
about programming nothing.
370
00:16:32,469 --> 00:16:36,169
I couldn't figure out
what it was that you did.
371
00:16:36,212 --> 00:16:39,259
But my really smart son
Andre did.
372
00:16:39,302 --> 00:16:41,826
Now, he says the app that gave
373
00:16:41,870 --> 00:16:45,221
all those millions of followers
to that journalist...
374
00:16:45,265 --> 00:16:47,310
the same journalist who released
375
00:16:47,354 --> 00:16:50,444
all those fake e-mails
supposedly from me...
376
00:16:50,487 --> 00:16:53,273
it had your digital DNA
all over it.
377
00:16:53,316 --> 00:16:55,231
Doesn't prove anything.
378
00:16:55,275 --> 00:16:57,755
It proves you were covering.
379
00:16:57,799 --> 00:17:01,281
Why would you cover unless
you had something to hide?
380
00:17:01,324 --> 00:17:04,414
So now you've got one
of two choices.
381
00:17:04,458 --> 00:17:06,677
Now, you can sign
this press release,
382
00:17:06,721 --> 00:17:10,551
accepting full responsibility
for everything you did
383
00:17:10,594 --> 00:17:13,641
and clearing Becky and my name.
384
00:17:13,684 --> 00:17:16,426
Or you can get you a switch
385
00:17:16,470 --> 00:17:19,995
and you and me can go outside,
and I can give you
386
00:17:20,039 --> 00:17:22,302
a public ass-whuping
that you deserve.
387
00:17:22,345 --> 00:17:25,435
I'm giving you a choice
388
00:17:25,479 --> 00:17:27,350
because you are my son.
389
00:17:48,023 --> 00:17:51,331
I took the thing
that you value most,
390
00:17:51,374 --> 00:17:54,986
I toyed with it for my own
personal entertainment,
391
00:17:55,030 --> 00:17:58,033
and I still made it better
than you ever could.
392
00:18:00,035 --> 00:18:02,298
I guess that makes me better
than any Lyon.
393
00:18:23,319 --> 00:18:26,409
All right, so,
are you sure you good, Cook?
394
00:18:26,453 --> 00:18:29,760
So Lucious chopped down
some simple white bitch.
395
00:18:29,804 --> 00:18:31,588
It is what it is.
396
00:18:31,632 --> 00:18:34,722
You know, she was probably
just the neighborhood bicycle.
397
00:18:34,765 --> 00:18:38,378
All the little boys had a ride.
398
00:18:38,421 --> 00:18:40,858
I mean, I don't know
if it's like all that.
399
00:18:40,902 --> 00:18:42,251
I mean, I knew her.
400
00:18:42,295 --> 00:18:43,426
- You did?!
- You did?!
401
00:18:43,470 --> 00:18:46,037
Uh, well, I... I... Yeah,
I knew her from the block.
402
00:18:46,081 --> 00:18:47,387
We used to get high together.
403
00:18:47,430 --> 00:18:49,084
Name was Tracy.
404
00:18:49,128 --> 00:18:52,043
We used to call her White Tracyso
Black Tracy wouldn't get mad.
405
00:18:52,087 --> 00:18:53,393
These little white girls
with fast asses.
406
00:18:53,436 --> 00:18:55,438
They get caught up,
and then, you know...
407
00:18:55,482 --> 00:18:57,397
There were these little rumors
about her, though,
408
00:18:57,440 --> 00:18:59,312
that she had some kid.
That's why she disappeared.
409
00:18:59,355 --> 00:19:01,314
Well, did you know
it was Lucious'?
410
00:19:01,357 --> 00:19:04,317
Cookie, are you kidding me?
No, I would've told you.
411
00:19:04,360 --> 00:19:05,840
Well, damn.
412
00:19:05,883 --> 00:19:07,537
What else I didn't know, huh?
413
00:19:07,581 --> 00:19:09,539
You knew her.
Lucious knew her.
414
00:19:09,583 --> 00:19:11,454
And now that damn son
415
00:19:11,498 --> 00:19:15,110
is running around
trying to ruin our lives.
416
00:19:15,154 --> 00:19:18,244
I told myself this story
about our lives that...
417
00:19:18,287 --> 00:19:20,550
I believed was true.
418
00:19:20,594 --> 00:19:23,466
But I don't know
what that is anymore.
419
00:19:23,510 --> 00:19:26,339
Look, I never said anything
about my son
420
00:19:26,382 --> 00:19:30,343
because I told myself a story
about how everything was fine.
421
00:19:30,386 --> 00:19:32,867
Now Franklin's in the hospital,
422
00:19:32,910 --> 00:19:34,434
and a whole lot of people
got hurt
423
00:19:34,477 --> 00:19:36,392
when that lie blew up
in my face.
424
00:19:36,436 --> 00:19:38,264
Don't run from the truth,
Cookie.
425
00:19:38,307 --> 00:19:40,222
Go find it.
426
00:19:51,407 --> 00:19:55,106
Hi. I'm Cookie Lyon.
427
00:19:56,151 --> 00:19:58,762
I know who you are.
428
00:20:05,073 --> 00:20:07,467
You don't remember me, do you?
429
00:20:07,510 --> 00:20:09,512
Um...
430
00:20:11,340 --> 00:20:12,733
... no, I can't say that I do.
431
00:20:12,776 --> 00:20:14,517
I remember you.
432
00:20:14,561 --> 00:20:16,389
I remember you very well.
433
00:20:16,432 --> 00:20:19,435
Strutting around on the corner
in your big hoops.
434
00:20:21,002 --> 00:20:23,483
What happened?
If... if you don't mind.
435
00:20:23,526 --> 00:20:25,093
Crack.
436
00:20:25,136 --> 00:20:27,878
I was a junkie.
437
00:20:27,922 --> 00:20:30,054
And then I had a stroke.
438
00:20:30,098 --> 00:20:32,187
And another stroke.
439
00:20:32,231 --> 00:20:34,363
Now I'm here.
440
00:20:34,407 --> 00:20:36,322
- I'm sorry.
- I don't need your pity, Cookie.
441
00:20:36,365 --> 00:20:37,758
Oh, it's not pity.
442
00:20:37,801 --> 00:20:40,326
I had a heart attack,
so I know what it's like
443
00:20:40,369 --> 00:20:43,503
when your body turns on you.
So I'm truly sorry.
444
00:20:43,546 --> 00:20:45,156
Yeah, you seem real sorry.
445
00:20:45,200 --> 00:20:47,333
So you think this is a...
446
00:20:47,376 --> 00:20:49,509
a walk in the park for me?
447
00:20:49,552 --> 00:20:51,511
The world is talking about me
448
00:20:51,554 --> 00:20:54,340
like I'm a gap-toothed,
three-legged dog.
449
00:20:54,383 --> 00:20:56,951
I don't even know what happened.
450
00:20:56,994 --> 00:21:00,346
I know Lucious has a story.
You have one.
451
00:21:01,347 --> 00:21:05,046
I'd like to know it... please.
452
00:21:06,047 --> 00:21:09,180
When Cookie met Lucious...
453
00:21:12,358 --> 00:21:15,752
When Cookie met Lucious,
I was already pregnant
454
00:21:15,796 --> 00:21:17,798
with Lucious' baby.
455
00:21:19,582 --> 00:21:22,193
Thank you.
I won't, uh...
456
00:21:22,237 --> 00:21:24,457
I won't take up
any more of your time.
457
00:21:24,500 --> 00:21:26,459
Oh, you're done?
458
00:21:26,502 --> 00:21:28,461
You don't care?
459
00:21:28,504 --> 00:21:30,985
I couldn't raise that kid.
460
00:21:31,028 --> 00:21:33,335
I couldn't be a daughter.
461
00:21:33,379 --> 00:21:35,903
I couldn't be a mom.
462
00:21:35,946 --> 00:21:37,905
All because of what
you people took from me.
463
00:21:37,948 --> 00:21:39,776
You people?
464
00:21:39,820 --> 00:21:42,605
I didn't put that crack pipe
in your hand, sweetheart.
465
00:21:42,649 --> 00:21:44,259
That was a choice.
466
00:21:44,303 --> 00:21:46,217
Yeah, but you always
had the good stuff.
467
00:21:46,261 --> 00:21:48,742
You just k... kept me
coming back for more.
468
00:21:51,658 --> 00:21:53,399
I lost everything.
469
00:21:54,443 --> 00:21:57,794
Ilost everything.
470
00:21:57,838 --> 00:21:59,622
I lost my husband.
471
00:21:59,666 --> 00:22:02,495
I couldn't raise my three sons.
472
00:22:02,538 --> 00:22:04,497
I spent 17 years behind bars
473
00:22:04,540 --> 00:22:07,326
while your little white ass
was free.
474
00:22:08,892 --> 00:22:11,460
So we both lost.
475
00:22:12,548 --> 00:22:14,507
I guess the day
476
00:22:14,550 --> 00:22:17,771
Cookie met Lucious
wasn't so pretty after all.
477
00:22:31,828 --> 00:22:33,526
All right, so let's
just stick to the script
478
00:22:33,569 --> 00:22:35,615
and not say much more,
especially if we're asked
479
00:22:35,658 --> 00:22:37,181
about our brother
from another mother.
480
00:22:37,225 --> 00:22:38,922
Speak of the devil.
481
00:22:40,489 --> 00:22:43,318
What would
Lucious and Cookie say?
482
00:22:43,362 --> 00:22:46,234
"The most valuable asset
to Empire is family. "
483
00:22:46,277 --> 00:22:48,802
- And here we all are.
- You're not family.
484
00:22:48,845 --> 00:22:52,675
I won't claim to be family
justbecause we share the same blood.
485
00:22:52,719 --> 00:22:55,069
If I were a real Lyon,
would I walk away?
486
00:22:56,113 --> 00:22:58,507
Would I accept defeat?
487
00:22:58,551 --> 00:23:00,291
Would I curl up and die?
488
00:23:00,335 --> 00:23:02,468
But you're not.
489
00:23:02,511 --> 00:23:03,643
So you should walk away quietly.
490
00:23:03,686 --> 00:23:05,340
While you still can.
491
00:23:06,733 --> 00:23:08,996
Nature versus nurture.
492
00:23:09,039 --> 00:23:11,041
Let's see which one wins.
493
00:23:13,261 --> 00:23:15,002
That sounded like a threat.
494
00:23:15,045 --> 00:23:17,047
Oh, most definitely.
495
00:23:24,838 --> 00:23:28,668
Just like they did in a small
garage in North Philadelphia,
496
00:23:28,711 --> 00:23:30,844
Lucious and Cookie Lyon
built a stunning roster
497
00:23:30,887 --> 00:23:32,715
of exceptional talent
498
00:23:32,759 --> 00:23:35,457
under the Lyon Family
Management banner.
499
00:23:35,501 --> 00:23:37,111
Now, you combine that
500
00:23:37,154 --> 00:23:39,461
with the technological talents
of Kelly Patel,
501
00:23:39,505 --> 00:23:42,508
and you're about to watch
Empiresoar to new heights
502
00:23:42,551 --> 00:23:44,379
in a new age.
503
00:23:44,423 --> 00:23:46,512
So help me welcome
504
00:23:46,555 --> 00:23:50,690
the heart and the soul
of Empire,
505
00:23:50,733 --> 00:23:53,083
and, yes,
the faceof the company...
506
00:23:53,127 --> 00:23:55,695
Lucious Lyon!
507
00:24:00,656 --> 00:24:03,093
I cannot tell youwhat a thrill
it is to be here,
508
00:24:03,137 --> 00:24:06,880
in the same place where, just
only a little while ago...
509
00:24:06,923 --> 00:24:10,187
I had to announce
that we were broke...
510
00:24:10,231 --> 00:24:12,276
but we weren't broken.
511
00:24:12,320 --> 00:24:15,323
You see, thanks to the support
of my incredible wife
512
00:24:15,366 --> 00:24:18,979
and my lovely family,
we managed to rise,
513
00:24:19,022 --> 00:24:20,502
'cause that's what we do.
514
00:24:20,546 --> 00:24:23,331
Now the Empire is bigger
515
00:24:23,374 --> 00:24:25,725
and stronger than ever.
516
00:24:25,768 --> 00:24:28,771
So this is to the Empire!
517
00:24:28,815 --> 00:24:29,642
To the Empire!
518
00:24:29,685 --> 00:24:30,643
To the Empire!
519
00:24:30,686 --> 00:24:32,514
To the Empire!
520
00:24:32,558 --> 00:24:34,385
To the Empire!
521
00:24:34,429 --> 00:24:36,300
- Please.
- What have you been using?
522
00:24:36,344 --> 00:24:37,476
To the Empire!
523
00:24:38,433 --> 00:24:39,695
Get down!
524
00:24:39,739 --> 00:24:41,915
To the Empire!
525
00:24:43,612 --> 00:24:45,179
To the Empire!
526
00:24:45,222 --> 00:24:46,223
To the Empire... !
527
00:24:46,267 --> 00:24:48,312
To the Empire!
528
00:24:48,356 --> 00:24:49,792
Excuse me.
529
00:24:49,836 --> 00:24:52,360
Um, how many times have we stood
530
00:24:52,403 --> 00:24:54,754
in front of you
and put our fists in the air
531
00:24:54,797 --> 00:24:56,799
and chanted, "To the Empire"?
532
00:24:56,843 --> 00:24:58,758
Well, it's been you...
533
00:24:58,801 --> 00:25:01,761
the people, the fans,
our family...
534
00:25:01,804 --> 00:25:04,677
that has come to our aid
535
00:25:04,720 --> 00:25:06,766
when we needed it most.
536
00:25:06,809 --> 00:25:08,115
And I think it's time that
537
00:25:08,158 --> 00:25:10,247
we give back...
538
00:25:10,291 --> 00:25:12,728
just as much as we take,
539
00:25:12,772 --> 00:25:15,470
because you all are the Empire.
540
00:25:15,514 --> 00:25:18,821
So I'm gonna ask
that everyone hold hands
541
00:25:18,865 --> 00:25:20,562
right now, just link up.
542
00:25:20,606 --> 00:25:23,434
Look, I know y'all,
y'all not too sexy and...
543
00:25:23,478 --> 00:25:24,784
and gangsta to do that, are you?
544
00:25:24,827 --> 00:25:29,179
Everyone up here
is in service to you.
545
00:25:29,223 --> 00:25:31,442
To inspire you.
546
00:25:31,486 --> 00:25:33,619
To lift you up.
547
00:25:33,662 --> 00:25:35,055
To heal.
548
00:25:35,098 --> 00:25:37,666
And to party...
549
00:25:37,710 --> 00:25:39,712
'Cause that's what
we about to do.
550
00:25:39,755 --> 00:25:42,845
So we're inviting
each and every one of you
551
00:25:42,889 --> 00:25:44,717
to the Lyons Are Back Bash.
552
00:25:44,760 --> 00:25:48,590
Hug somebody, because our family
has been reunited!
553
00:25:51,506 --> 00:25:53,160
Congrats, Dad.
554
00:25:53,203 --> 00:25:56,816
- You got it back.
- No. Congrats to Kai, man.
555
00:25:56,859 --> 00:26:00,036
I mean, without him, we wouldn't
have been able to do this.
556
00:26:00,080 --> 00:26:03,953
- Wait, what? - He got Becky's
name clear, my name clear.
557
00:26:03,997 --> 00:26:05,999
He's a good man.
558
00:26:09,045 --> 00:26:11,004
And five, six, seven, eight.
559
00:26:11,047 --> 00:26:13,484
One, two, three,
560
00:26:13,528 --> 00:26:16,009
four, five, six, seven, eight.
561
00:26:16,052 --> 00:26:18,751
Perfect. I know Hakeem likes
to jump off stage sometimes,
562
00:26:18,794 --> 00:26:19,621
- but we're not doing that.
- Maya.
563
00:26:19,665 --> 00:26:23,016
You helped me get
outside the box.
564
00:26:23,059 --> 00:26:24,495
Meet Lil Buck.
565
00:26:24,539 --> 00:26:25,845
Show her what you do, bro.
566
00:26:29,892 --> 00:26:31,154
Where'd you study, Maya?
567
00:26:32,808 --> 00:26:36,246
I studied at Tisch in NYU.
568
00:26:36,290 --> 00:26:38,814
Where did you study ballet?
569
00:26:38,858 --> 00:26:40,773
Memphis.
570
00:26:40,816 --> 00:26:41,861
Play that beat, Chicken.
571
00:27:02,925 --> 00:27:03,622
Nice.
572
00:27:21,814 --> 00:27:23,554
W... Wow.
573
00:27:23,598 --> 00:27:25,818
You're... you're... you're incredible.
574
00:27:25,861 --> 00:27:26,862
It's like you've created
575
00:27:26,906 --> 00:27:28,298
something completely new.
576
00:27:28,342 --> 00:27:29,735
That's Memphis Jookin.
577
00:27:29,778 --> 00:27:31,737
Now, we know ballet
is who you are.
578
00:27:31,780 --> 00:27:33,826
Don't be afraid
to try something new.
579
00:27:38,352 --> 00:27:39,875
Kai?
580
00:27:42,835 --> 00:27:44,097
Kai?
581
00:27:47,361 --> 00:27:48,884
Hey.
582
00:27:50,190 --> 00:27:51,931
Hey.
583
00:27:51,974 --> 00:27:54,977
You still leaving?
584
00:27:55,021 --> 00:27:58,067
Yeah. My flight leaves
in a couple hours.
585
00:27:58,111 --> 00:28:01,810
I thought maybe you,
uh, changed your mind.
586
00:28:01,854 --> 00:28:03,203
My dad told me what you did.
587
00:28:03,246 --> 00:28:04,595
Did he tell you what happened?
588
00:28:04,639 --> 00:28:06,075
Yeah. He said that you...
589
00:28:06,119 --> 00:28:08,208
you cleared his name.
Thank you.
590
00:28:08,251 --> 00:28:12,168
Did he tell you how he and
Andredangled a man out of a window
591
00:28:12,212 --> 00:28:14,954
- and threatened to kill him?
- No.
592
00:28:14,997 --> 00:28:16,346
Doesn't really
surprise me, though.
593
00:28:16,390 --> 00:28:19,567
I don't know why
I expected anything less.
594
00:28:23,049 --> 00:28:26,182
You know, the first daythat I
got into this apartment,
595
00:28:26,226 --> 00:28:28,750
your brother put a gun
to my head, right there.
596
00:28:28,794 --> 00:28:30,970
- I know...
- Look, I... I've seen violence.
597
00:28:31,013 --> 00:28:32,667
I've been threatened
by drug cartels
598
00:28:32,711 --> 00:28:34,625
and... and third world dictators.
599
00:28:34,669 --> 00:28:36,845
Violence doesn't scare me.
600
00:28:41,067 --> 00:28:42,982
But, man, your... your family does.
601
00:28:43,025 --> 00:28:46,115
No, they scare me because
of... of what they do to you.
602
00:28:46,159 --> 00:28:49,902
We were so happy in London.
603
00:28:49,945 --> 00:28:51,904
Away from them.
604
00:28:55,168 --> 00:28:56,604
You are nothing like them.
605
00:28:56,647 --> 00:28:58,040
Mal...
606
00:28:58,084 --> 00:29:01,174
please, let's...
let's just go home.
607
00:29:01,217 --> 00:29:03,785
Baby, anybody...
608
00:29:03,829 --> 00:29:05,656
who I'm gonna spend
the rest of my life with
609
00:29:05,700 --> 00:29:07,833
has to... understand me.
610
00:29:09,443 --> 00:29:11,488
All of me.
611
00:29:13,534 --> 00:29:15,318
I'm a Lyon.
612
00:29:19,975 --> 00:29:22,543
And I'm done
apologizing for that.
613
00:30:26,694 --> 00:30:29,436
I've been feeling kind of
cooped up, cooped up...
614
00:30:29,479 --> 00:30:31,351
Hey, Ma. There's someone
I want you to meet.
615
00:30:31,394 --> 00:30:33,092
I don't feel like schmoozing
616
00:30:33,135 --> 00:30:35,007
and small-talking
with nobody tonight.
617
00:30:35,050 --> 00:30:37,226
I don't have no business till...
618
00:30:37,270 --> 00:30:38,445
- Are you Teri?
- Mm.
619
00:30:38,488 --> 00:30:41,143
Well, is Andre
treating you right tonight?
620
00:30:41,187 --> 00:30:43,929
Because if he's not,
I'll whup his ass into shape.
621
00:30:43,972 --> 00:30:46,018
I wanted to thank you,
622
00:30:46,061 --> 00:30:48,150
mother to mother,
for raising such a good man.
623
00:30:48,194 --> 00:30:50,457
What Andre has done
for my son, I...
624
00:30:50,500 --> 00:30:52,938
I can't express
how grateful I am.
625
00:30:52,981 --> 00:30:55,157
He's my number one son.
626
00:30:55,201 --> 00:30:58,987
My number one.
627
00:30:59,031 --> 00:31:02,295
This next artist
is the physical manifestation
628
00:31:02,338 --> 00:31:05,515
of the very spirit
of Empire itself.
629
00:31:05,559 --> 00:31:07,169
He was critically wounded.
630
00:31:07,213 --> 00:31:09,345
And like the fiery phoenix,
631
00:31:09,389 --> 00:31:12,131
he rose from his own ashes.
632
00:31:12,174 --> 00:31:14,002
He is my son.
633
00:31:14,046 --> 00:31:16,178
He is from my blood.
634
00:31:16,222 --> 00:31:18,311
He is Hakeem...
635
00:31:18,354 --> 00:31:21,053
Lyon...
636
00:31:24,143 --> 00:31:25,274
Yeah.
637
00:31:25,318 --> 00:31:26,667
Hakeem.
638
00:31:28,582 --> 00:31:30,192
You know this.
639
00:31:30,236 --> 00:31:32,803
Yeah. Yeah.
640
00:31:32,847 --> 00:31:35,937
Heavy is the head
with the crown?
641
00:31:35,981 --> 00:31:38,766
I see they
tryna take me down?
642
00:31:38,809 --> 00:31:41,508
They don't know
I came up from the ground?
643
00:31:41,551 --> 00:31:44,641
Never break, never bend,
never fold, never frown?
644
00:31:44,685 --> 00:31:47,209
Lion in the jungle,
lion in the jungle?
645
00:31:47,253 --> 00:31:50,430
Rumble young man,
rumble young man, rumble?
646
00:31:50,473 --> 00:31:53,737
Lion in the jungle,
lion in the jungle?
647
00:31:53,781 --> 00:31:57,002
Rumble young man,
rumble young man, rumble?
648
00:31:57,045 --> 00:31:59,439
I'm a mix
of my daddy and my mama?
649
00:31:59,482 --> 00:32:02,529
Fightin' through the trauma,
I'm a knight in shining armor
650
00:32:02,572 --> 00:32:05,619
Tryna save my baby
from my vices and my karma?
651
00:32:05,662 --> 00:32:07,186
If you don't respect
my come up?
652
00:32:07,229 --> 00:32:08,839
Eat you up
like Jeffrey Dahmer?
653
00:32:08,883 --> 00:32:09,971
I'm a grind to get my life together?
654
00:32:10,015 --> 00:32:11,538
Be the greatest,
shine my light forever?
655
00:32:11,581 --> 00:32:13,235
I'm the baddest
Michael Jackson?
656
00:32:13,279 --> 00:32:14,758
Moonwalking on the sun,
I'm the one?
657
00:32:14,802 --> 00:32:16,543
I'm a run the whole empire
when it's done?
658
00:32:16,586 --> 00:32:18,197
Nah, the devil can't have me?
659
00:32:18,240 --> 00:32:19,546
Just call me crazy?
660
00:32:19,589 --> 00:32:21,200
I can't leave
my loving family?
661
00:32:21,243 --> 00:32:22,766
Forsake my baby?
662
00:32:22,810 --> 00:32:23,985
I'm lionhearted
and hardheaded?
663
00:32:24,029 --> 00:32:25,204
They can't move me?
664
00:32:25,247 --> 00:32:27,336
Like diabetics,
I'm lightheaded?
665
00:32:27,380 --> 00:32:28,772
Feeling woozy?
666
00:32:28,816 --> 00:32:30,252
Prove me wrong...
667
00:32:30,296 --> 00:32:32,080
I need to record this
for Bella, you know.
668
00:32:32,124 --> 00:32:34,778
She loves to see
her daddy dance.
669
00:32:34,822 --> 00:32:39,087
Heavy is the head
with the crown?
670
00:32:39,131 --> 00:32:41,263
I see they tryna
take me down?
671
00:32:41,307 --> 00:32:43,613
They don't know I came up
from the ground?
672
00:32:43,657 --> 00:32:46,921
Never break, never bend,
never fold, never frown?
673
00:32:46,965 --> 00:32:50,229
Lion in the jungle,
lion in the jungle?
674
00:32:50,272 --> 00:32:52,274
Rumble young man,
rumble young man, rumble?
675
00:32:52,318 --> 00:32:56,235
Lion in the jungle,
lion in the jungle?
676
00:32:56,278 --> 00:32:58,672
Rumble young man,
rumble young man, rumble.
677
00:33:03,198 --> 00:33:04,504
Baby.
678
00:33:04,547 --> 00:33:06,027
We got the company back.
679
00:33:06,071 --> 00:33:08,247
Our family's back together.
680
00:33:08,290 --> 00:33:11,380
Come on, what's it gonna taketo
turn that frown upside down?
681
00:33:11,424 --> 00:33:13,034
Just because I'm not twerking
682
00:33:13,078 --> 00:33:15,776
doesn't mean I'm tuned out.
683
00:33:17,517 --> 00:33:19,301
What's wrong, baby?
684
00:33:19,345 --> 00:33:20,868
I mean, when you were doing
the press conference,
685
00:33:20,911 --> 00:33:23,262
you said something
about you and me needing
686
00:33:23,305 --> 00:33:25,220
to do better at giving back.
687
00:33:25,264 --> 00:33:26,961
I mean, what was that?
688
00:33:27,005 --> 00:33:28,528
Just what I said.
689
00:33:31,531 --> 00:33:33,968
Do you need
to tell me something?
690
00:33:40,105 --> 00:33:41,454
Oh.
691
00:33:41,497 --> 00:33:43,325
- It's Kingsley.
- Yeah.
692
00:33:43,369 --> 00:33:44,196
He wants to meet.
693
00:33:44,239 --> 00:33:46,763
Mm. Enjoy your father-son time.
694
00:33:49,810 --> 00:33:51,812
- All right.
- All right.
695
00:34:06,131 --> 00:34:09,221
How does it feel to be back?
696
00:34:13,964 --> 00:34:17,055
Actually, it feels quite good.
697
00:34:19,274 --> 00:34:21,189
So what are you up to, man?
698
00:34:21,233 --> 00:34:23,322
What do you want?
699
00:34:23,365 --> 00:34:25,237
I'm trying to connect, I guess.
700
00:34:25,280 --> 00:34:27,761
In my own way.
701
00:34:32,548 --> 00:34:35,203
When you stream music
on individual devices,
702
00:34:35,247 --> 00:34:38,163
you guys using AIFF file format?
703
00:34:38,206 --> 00:34:40,687
Mostly.
704
00:34:40,730 --> 00:34:42,515
Some is converted to MP3s
705
00:34:42,558 --> 00:34:45,518
and then the rest
is compressed and...
706
00:34:45,561 --> 00:34:48,782
What about the masters?
At... 24 bit?
707
00:34:48,825 --> 00:34:50,305
Nah. 32.
708
00:34:50,349 --> 00:34:53,003
Plus, it's got a 96 kilohertz.
709
00:34:53,047 --> 00:34:55,354
You're talking about
the highest quality.
710
00:34:55,397 --> 00:34:56,746
That's why they call it
the master.
711
00:34:56,790 --> 00:34:58,922
It gives birth
to the other files.
712
00:34:58,966 --> 00:35:00,315
Father of the song.
713
00:35:01,795 --> 00:35:04,276
Touch�.
714
00:35:04,319 --> 00:35:08,018
Here's my version
of a master file.
715
00:35:08,062 --> 00:35:11,109
It's a program
that searches and destroys.
716
00:35:12,414 --> 00:35:15,287
And right now
it's on the Empire network,
717
00:35:15,330 --> 00:35:17,376
finding all of your early albums
718
00:35:17,419 --> 00:35:19,987
and deleting the master files,
one by one.
719
00:35:20,030 --> 00:35:21,945
Look, son,
I know you blame me
720
00:35:21,989 --> 00:35:24,992
for a lot of things
in your life.
721
00:35:25,035 --> 00:35:26,863
Especially your mother.
722
00:35:26,907 --> 00:35:29,823
But she was a user
long before she ever met me.
723
00:35:29,866 --> 00:35:33,305
I mean, her addiction...
that's not my doing.
724
00:35:33,348 --> 00:35:35,263
No, Iam your doing.
725
00:35:36,699 --> 00:35:40,312
You made me.
And now I'm erasing you.
726
00:35:41,922 --> 00:35:44,446
Go home, son.
727
00:35:46,144 --> 00:35:48,407
Oh, I get it.
728
00:35:48,450 --> 00:35:50,452
You're a hustler.
729
00:35:50,496 --> 00:35:53,368
You can't be a hustler
without a secret stash, right?
730
00:35:53,412 --> 00:35:55,457
That's why
you're acting so cool,
731
00:35:55,501 --> 00:35:57,067
but you think I don't know
732
00:35:57,111 --> 00:36:00,680
about your secret server
in London.
733
00:36:00,723 --> 00:36:03,248
This is real.
734
00:36:03,291 --> 00:36:05,815
Just like I am real.
735
00:36:08,862 --> 00:36:09,863
Uh.
736
00:36:11,647 --> 00:36:13,432
"Roll Up Heavy. "
737
00:36:13,475 --> 00:36:14,868
I remember that song.
That came out
738
00:36:14,911 --> 00:36:16,652
- when I was in grade school.
- Stop this.
739
00:36:16,696 --> 00:36:18,437
Right around the time
that the courts took custody
740
00:36:18,480 --> 00:36:21,309
away from my mother because
she was hooked on your crack.
741
00:36:21,353 --> 00:36:23,311
Oh, there goes "Street King. "
742
00:36:23,355 --> 00:36:24,834
Yeah, I remember that one, too.
I was in high school.
743
00:36:24,878 --> 00:36:26,488
Do you know how surreal
that was, to watch all
744
00:36:26,532 --> 00:36:29,448
of my friends dancing
to that song at prom?
745
00:36:29,491 --> 00:36:30,927
Your music...
my own father's music...
746
00:36:30,971 --> 00:36:32,581
and I couldn't say
a word about it.
747
00:36:32,625 --> 00:36:34,104
Why are you doing this?
I mean, what do you want from me?
748
00:36:34,148 --> 00:36:37,325
- You want my blood?
- I am your blood.
749
00:36:37,369 --> 00:36:40,372
I am your flesh and blood,
and you don't give a damn.
750
00:36:40,415 --> 00:36:42,374
- You never did!
- You think if I had known
751
00:36:42,417 --> 00:36:45,246
you were out there
that I wouldn't have used
752
00:36:45,290 --> 00:36:47,509
all of my power to find you?
753
00:36:47,553 --> 00:36:49,511
So that I could be
a father to you?
754
00:36:49,555 --> 00:36:51,034
To raise you?
You're my son.
755
00:36:51,078 --> 00:36:53,036
You're a terrible liar.
756
00:36:53,080 --> 00:36:56,083
No, you think... You've got
this picture in your mind
757
00:36:56,126 --> 00:36:59,304
of who you think you are
and who you think I am.
758
00:36:59,347 --> 00:37:01,349
And I know
what you're going through,
759
00:37:01,393 --> 00:37:05,658
'cause I had the same picture
in my mind of my father.
760
00:37:05,701 --> 00:37:09,618
It drove me.
761
00:37:09,662 --> 00:37:12,404
But I was wrong.
762
00:37:14,536 --> 00:37:18,148
I see me in you, son.
763
00:37:18,192 --> 00:37:20,281
I see a fire in you
764
00:37:20,325 --> 00:37:24,416
of a young man that
pulled himself up from nothing
765
00:37:24,459 --> 00:37:27,636
by himself, just like me.
766
00:37:27,680 --> 00:37:30,552
That's the Lyon in you.
767
00:37:30,596 --> 00:37:32,424
And if I had known that,
I would've...
768
00:37:32,467 --> 00:37:35,296
would've never let you wander
this earth by yourself.
769
00:37:35,340 --> 00:37:39,344
You're a Lyon.
770
00:37:39,387 --> 00:37:41,563
A Lyon.
771
00:37:45,175 --> 00:37:48,266
No.
772
00:37:50,616 --> 00:37:51,878
Now I'm nothing.
773
00:37:51,921 --> 00:37:54,576
Don't say that.
774
00:37:54,620 --> 00:37:56,361
You're my son.
775
00:38:15,510 --> 00:38:18,557
I know that this must be
business as usual for you,
776
00:38:18,600 --> 00:38:21,516
but it was so special for me.
777
00:38:21,560 --> 00:38:22,909
- Thank you.
- Mm.
778
00:38:22,952 --> 00:38:24,432
You're very special to me.
779
00:38:25,520 --> 00:38:28,001
Andre, whenever I ask you
780
00:38:28,044 --> 00:38:29,568
to come to church with me,
781
00:38:29,611 --> 00:38:32,266
you... you always
have something to do.
782
00:38:32,310 --> 00:38:35,704
I want you to meet my family,
my friends.
783
00:38:35,748 --> 00:38:39,752
You have Empire.
I have the church.
784
00:38:39,795 --> 00:38:43,364
But if, you know,
if it's a lot to...
785
00:38:43,408 --> 00:38:46,454
Teri, it has nothing to do
with you.
786
00:38:46,498 --> 00:38:49,022
My relationship
to God is complicated.
787
00:38:49,065 --> 00:38:52,242
Complicated? But...
Tell me more.
788
00:38:52,286 --> 00:38:53,548
Another time.
789
00:38:53,592 --> 00:38:55,985
Okay?
790
00:38:56,029 --> 00:38:57,639
Another time.
791
00:38:57,683 --> 00:38:59,075
Well, whenever you're ready,
792
00:38:59,119 --> 00:39:02,340
I'll be right here,
holding your hand.
793
00:39:04,211 --> 00:39:07,693
Andre, your nose is bleeding.
794
00:39:08,650 --> 00:39:10,739
Oh. It... it's nothing.
795
00:39:10,783 --> 00:39:12,611
- I'd get them in prison every once in...
- Stop the car.
796
00:39:12,654 --> 00:39:14,395
- It's bleeding a lot, Andre.
- It's okay. I'm fine.
797
00:39:14,439 --> 00:39:17,180
Andre!
798
00:39:19,095 --> 00:39:20,880
Andre!
799
00:39:22,795 --> 00:39:26,407
And I run for miles
just to get a taste...
800
00:39:26,451 --> 00:39:28,757
I... I need an ambulance. Andre.
801
00:39:28,801 --> 00:39:31,456
Hold on.
802
00:39:58,396 --> 00:40:02,574
I could see the signs?
803
00:40:02,617 --> 00:40:06,142
Although you tried?
804
00:40:06,186 --> 00:40:09,494
To blur the lines?
805
00:40:09,537 --> 00:40:12,714
Your eyes gave you away?
806
00:40:12,758 --> 00:40:15,456
If we meet outside?
807
00:40:16,805 --> 00:40:19,721
Just walk on by?
808
00:40:19,765 --> 00:40:22,463
Well...
809
00:40:22,507 --> 00:40:24,509
that's the end of Kingsley.
810
00:40:24,552 --> 00:40:26,554
Whatever you think
you should hear...
811
00:40:26,598 --> 00:40:28,034
You want a drink?
812
00:40:28,077 --> 00:40:30,863
No, I'm fine.
813
00:40:30,906 --> 00:40:33,909
I went to see her today.
Tracy.
814
00:40:33,953 --> 00:40:35,911
You what?
815
00:40:35,955 --> 00:40:37,870
Why?
816
00:40:37,913 --> 00:40:40,829
I'm seeing it clearer now?
817
00:40:40,873 --> 00:40:43,484
Don't come around?
818
00:40:43,528 --> 00:40:46,618
I'm filling spaces?
819
00:40:46,661 --> 00:40:49,055
Over you now?
820
00:40:49,098 --> 00:40:52,624
'Cause love is moving out?
821
00:40:52,667 --> 00:40:55,540
- It's easy to see it now?
- I...
822
00:40:55,583 --> 00:40:58,151
needed to see for myself.
I wanted to get some answers.
823
00:40:58,194 --> 00:41:00,153
Baby, I told you the truth.
824
00:41:02,460 --> 00:41:04,679
You know, when I saw you
rappingon that corner
825
00:41:04,723 --> 00:41:07,073
back in the day,
826
00:41:07,116 --> 00:41:09,205
I thought you were a king.
827
00:41:09,249 --> 00:41:11,120
Even though
you ain't had nothing,
828
00:41:11,164 --> 00:41:13,993
you carried yourself
like a mack.
829
00:41:15,255 --> 00:41:18,780
But that
was the rose-tinted memories.
830
00:41:18,824 --> 00:41:21,348
What's playing in my mind now
831
00:41:21,391 --> 00:41:23,742
is something else.
832
00:41:23,785 --> 00:41:25,787
I see a broken woman
833
00:41:25,831 --> 00:41:28,007
in a hospital bed,
834
00:41:28,050 --> 00:41:31,140
who was too cracked-out
to take care of her own child.
835
00:41:31,184 --> 00:41:33,012
I don't need none
of this stuff.
836
00:41:33,055 --> 00:41:34,796
Yeah, just walk away.
837
00:41:36,145 --> 00:41:38,670
Like men do. 'Cause see,
that's what y'all get to do...
838
00:41:38,713 --> 00:41:41,194
turn these hoes off
like a light switch.
839
00:41:41,237 --> 00:41:45,764
What do you want me to say?
What, "I was young,
840
00:41:45,807 --> 00:41:47,548
I didn't... I didn't know,
I was a kid"?
841
00:41:47,592 --> 00:41:49,637
We used to tell people
842
00:41:49,681 --> 00:41:51,247
that we did what we had to do
to survive.
843
00:41:51,291 --> 00:41:52,771
That's bull.
844
00:41:52,814 --> 00:41:53,946
We wanted that paper.
845
00:41:56,470 --> 00:41:58,124
I'm not gonna sit here
846
00:41:58,167 --> 00:42:02,650
and... and have to justify
what I did three decades ago
847
00:42:02,694 --> 00:42:05,610
in order to feed my family
in an unfair world.
848
00:42:05,653 --> 00:42:07,394
Hell, the Kennedys, man...
849
00:42:07,437 --> 00:42:10,005
th... they were involved
in illegal substances.
850
00:42:10,049 --> 00:42:11,703
It didn't stop them
from becoming
851
00:42:11,746 --> 00:42:14,009
a world friggin' dynasty.
Why can't we do that?
852
00:42:14,053 --> 00:42:17,056
Empire was built on drugs,
Lucious.
853
00:42:17,099 --> 00:42:19,841
On people's pain.
854
00:42:19,885 --> 00:42:21,626
My pain.
Jamal's pain.
855
00:42:21,669 --> 00:42:24,367
My sister's pain.
856
00:42:24,411 --> 00:42:26,674
A... And we... we keep
coming back to it,
857
00:42:26,718 --> 00:42:28,937
over and over and over
and over again,
858
00:42:28,981 --> 00:42:31,853
like that junkie chasing
that first high!
859
00:42:31,897 --> 00:42:35,422
Baby, we are not
the same people we were
860
00:42:35,465 --> 00:42:37,511
30 years ago.
861
00:42:37,555 --> 00:42:41,210
I'm not the same man that... that
left you in prison for 17 years.
862
00:42:41,254 --> 00:42:43,430
I mean, we've...
Baby, we've done it.
863
00:42:43,473 --> 00:42:45,650
We're here.
We... We figured it out.
864
00:42:45,693 --> 00:42:48,609
We did bad things, Lucious,
865
00:42:48,653 --> 00:42:52,482
and it's coming back to collect
866
00:42:52,526 --> 00:42:54,963
with a living, breathing man.
867
00:42:55,007 --> 00:42:58,663
Furious man who calls you Daddy.
868
00:42:59,664 --> 00:43:02,188
Baby.
869
00:43:02,231 --> 00:43:04,973
We're here.
870
00:43:05,017 --> 00:43:06,888
We're right here.
871
00:43:06,932 --> 00:43:08,760
Our future's now.
872
00:43:08,803 --> 00:43:10,849
Are you with me?
873
00:43:16,898 --> 00:43:20,075
Yeah, Lucious.
Sure.
