265
00:12:28,400 --> 00:12:30,260
to cover me tonight
266
00:12:30,270 --> 00:12:31,440
with, uh, Derek at the studio, all right?
HAKEEM: Jamal?
267
00:12:31,440 --> 00:12:32,810
You serious?
Hold on a second.
268
00:12:32,810 --> 00:12:34,480
Yeah. Do I look like I'm not?
Uh-uh...
269
00:12:34,480 --> 00:12:35,900
Jamal?
Hold on!
270
00:12:35,910 --> 00:12:37,910
Marco's gonna be fur... Jamal!
271
00:12:37,910 --> 00:12:41,450
Shut up. Excuse us. Excuse us.
Marco's gonna be furious.
272
00:12:41,450 --> 00:12:43,450
He's been trying to
sign Derek for months.
273
00:12:43,450 --> 00:12:45,620
I couldn't care less. You have
a ten times better ear than him.
274
00:12:45,620 --> 00:12:46,780
Hakeem, I looked
at the, um... the artwork
275
00:12:46,780 --> 00:12:48,410
for the cover of your album.
276
00:12:48,420 --> 00:12:50,450
And? I don't like it.
It's amateurish.
277
00:12:50,450 --> 00:12:52,380
You just don't get it, do you?
278
00:12:52,390 --> 00:12:53,660
What the hell is wrong with you?
279
00:12:53,660 --> 00:12:55,380
I'm telling Mom. Mom?
280
00:12:55,390 --> 00:12:56,820
Trying to help him out.
281
00:12:56,820 --> 00:12:58,480
You're rude, he's crude,
282
00:12:58,490 --> 00:12:59,660
and the both of y'all are
socially unacceptable.
283
00:12:59,660 --> 00:13:01,230
You need to fix this.
284
00:13:01,230 --> 00:13:02,760
No, he needs to fix it.
285
00:13:02,760 --> 00:13:05,260
Give me a meeting with him
after this meeting.
286
00:13:05,260 --> 00:13:07,290
Uh, you have
a marketing meeting.
287
00:13:07,300 --> 00:13:09,300
Well, after the marketing meeting.
ANDRE: Don't forget we have
288
00:13:09,300 --> 00:13:10,730
a BOD phone call at 11:30,
289
00:13:10,730 --> 00:13:13,260
and then lunch
with the Apex Radio guys.

(sighs) This don't stop.
Oh, I'm sorry.
291
00:13:16,240 --> 00:13:17,970
I'm just trying
to get into the studio, Andre.
292
00:13:17,970 --> 00:13:19,660
Of course you are.
293
00:13:21,740 --> 00:13:23,140
Set a meeting
with Hakeem after lunch.
294
00:13:23,140 --> 00:13:24,800
After lunch,
you're seeing your father.
295
00:13:24,810 --> 00:13:26,250
Figure it out, little boy.
Yes, sir.
296
00:13:28,610 --> 00:13:31,570
You get a chance to...
see the concert?
297
00:13:31,580 --> 00:13:33,740
Have you written any new songs?
298
00:13:33,750 --> 00:13:35,950
No.
299
00:13:35,950 --> 00:13:38,850

taking up all my time.
300
00:13:38,850 --> 00:13:40,780
Yeah.
301
00:13:40,790 --> 00:13:43,960
My album dropped to number 22
on the charts, Dad. I know.
302
00:13:43,960 --> 00:13:45,830
It's because I'm supposed
to be touring by now.
303
00:13:45,830 --> 00:13:47,090
Look, get me the
hell out of here,
304
00:13:47,090 --> 00:13:48,450
and you can tour the world.
305
00:13:48,460 --> 00:13:50,100

00:13:51,860 --> 00:13:54,460

lying snake Vernon? Shh.
308
00:13:54,460 --> 00:13:59,530
No. He needs
to be... handled.
309
00:14:00,670 --> 00:14:03,210
Not yet.
310
00:14:06,040 --> 00:14:09,540
All right. So how's Andre
doing with Apex Radio?
311
00:14:09,540 --> 00:14:12,040
Good. We had a good lunch today.
312
00:14:12,050 --> 00:14:14,650
No. No, I need him
to close that deal.
313
00:14:14,650 --> 00:14:16,680
All right.
Did you talk
314
00:14:16,680 --> 00:14:18,610
to Hakeem about the artwork?
315
00:14:18,620 --> 00:14:19,850
Mm-hmm, he's pissed.
316
00:14:19,850 --> 00:14:21,540
Well, he'll get over it, man.
317
00:14:21,550 --> 00:14:23,710
He hasn't recorded his
new track yet, has he?
318
00:14:23,720 --> 00:14:26,490
No, Cookie's trying,
but he's unfocused or whatever.
319
00:14:26,490 --> 00:14:29,460
'Cause Cookie can't manage him.
320
00:14:29,460 --> 00:14:32,690
I'm the only person
that can manage him.
321
00:14:32,690 --> 00:14:36,460
You know your mama
ain't even seen me.
322
00:14:36,460 --> 00:14:38,560
Not once.
323
00:14:40,700 --> 00:14:43,570
Okay. Payback for the past.
324
00:14:43,570 --> 00:14:45,540
I get it.
325
00:14:46,870 --> 00:14:52,580
Who was that... lesbian bitch
326
00:14:52,580 --> 00:14:54,910
in the red suit?
327
00:14:54,910 --> 00:14:57,480
Who?
At the concert.
328
00:14:57,480 --> 00:14:59,715
That was cuddled up
with your mama.
329
00:14:59,716 --> 00:15:01,970
I don't know who you're
talking about... at the...?
330
00:15:05,420 --> 00:15:07,660
Find out who she is.
331
00:15:10,590 --> 00:15:13,460
Her and your mama
are up to something.
332
00:15:19,530 --> 00:15:21,500
(groans)
333
00:15:21,500 --> 00:15:23,370
Dig.
334
00:15:23,370 --> 00:15:25,530
(gasps)
335
00:15:25,530 --> 00:15:27,390
They know.
336
00:15:31,710 --> 00:15:35,410
If we were suspects, we would've
been hauled in already.
337
00:15:35,410 --> 00:15:37,680
Then they're stalling.
338
00:15:37,680 --> 00:15:40,450
You think
he was their only witness?
339
00:15:40,450 --> 00:15:42,680
Yes, I do.
340
00:15:42,680 --> 00:15:45,950
And you know if they don't find
any evidence against Lucious,
341
00:15:45,950 --> 00:15:49,750
they're going to throw his case
out sooner rather than later.
342
00:15:49,750 --> 00:15:51,550
We need
this hostile takeover thing done
343
00:15:51,550 --> 00:15:53,110
before he gets out,
344
00:15:53,120 --> 00:15:54,780
or it'll never happen.
It's okay.
345
00:15:54,790 --> 00:15:56,960
Baby, it's gonna happen, okay?
All right.
346
00:15:56,960 --> 00:15:59,190
It looks like
Mimi Whiteman is gonna bite.
347
00:15:59,190 --> 00:16:00,920
(sighs)
348
00:16:02,560 --> 00:16:04,620
You haven't told your pastor,
have you?
349
00:16:04,630 --> 00:16:06,430
Told him about what?
350
00:16:06,430 --> 00:16:07,730
About Vernon.
351
00:16:07,730 --> 00:16:09,260
Why you asking me that?
What do you mean,
352
00:16:09,270 --> 00:16:11,300
why am I asking you that?
353
00:16:12,730 --> 00:16:15,030
No.
354
00:16:16,600 --> 00:16:19,800
(sighs)
355
00:16:19,810 --> 00:16:22,070
Babe.
356
00:16:22,070 --> 00:16:24,600
You need to relax.
357
00:16:24,610 --> 00:16:26,240
Okay?
358
00:16:26,240 --> 00:16:28,140
This deal is gonna go through,
359
00:16:28,140 --> 00:16:30,200
and this company is
gonna be yours.
360
00:16:30,210 --> 00:16:31,810
(sighs)
361
00:16:31,810 --> 00:16:33,910
There's no way anyone
in their right mind
362
00:16:33,920 --> 00:16:36,050
would leave a half
a billion dollar investment
363
00:16:36,050 --> 00:16:38,690
to Cookie and Hakeem.
364
00:16:40,090 --> 00:16:43,720
I still can't believe
he gave it to Jamal.
365
00:16:45,090 --> 00:16:46,830
I know.
366
00:16:48,760 --> 00:16:51,130
How's my boy?
367
00:16:53,630 --> 00:16:55,800
He's tired.
368
00:17:06,640 --> 00:17:08,710
(fingers snap)
369
00:17:12,940 --> 00:17:16,610
(TV playing indistinctly)
370
00:17:16,610 --> 00:17:19,180
I heard you got five years
for armed robbery, Jermel.
371
00:17:19,180 --> 00:17:22,010
Yeah, well, I ain't do it.
372
00:17:24,850 --> 00:17:28,620
Just like you didn't kill
my boy Teddy McNally?
373
00:17:28,620 --> 00:17:30,720
Smell the roses!
374
00:17:32,190 --> 00:17:35,750
No.
375
00:17:35,760 --> 00:17:37,920
I know you did it.
376
00:17:39,160 --> 00:17:40,290
No fight, man.
377
00:17:40,300 --> 00:17:42,270
I wouldn't do that
on my mama, man.
378
00:17:42,270 --> 00:17:43,840
Ain't do that.
379
00:17:53,010 --> 00:17:56,340
I'm hungry.
380
00:17:56,340 --> 00:17:57,940
You hungry?

this little party we
put together for you?
388
00:18:14,860 --> 00:18:17,000
Just wanted to welcome
you into the family.
389
00:18:17,000 --> 00:18:19,720
Very enterprising
of you, Cookie.
390
00:18:19,730 --> 00:18:21,730
Speaking of enterprising, Mimi,
391
00:18:21,730 --> 00:18:23,220
Empire still runs
a hip-hop circuit.
392
00:18:23,230 --> 00:18:27,700
Music, fashion, liquor, sports.
393
00:18:27,700 --> 00:18:28,960
What is she doing here?
394
00:18:28,970 --> 00:18:30,305
She's in my house.
Oh, really?
395
00:18:30,306 --> 00:18:31,860
If I'm here, she here.
Oh, what's...?
396
00:18:31,870 --> 00:18:33,730
Okay.
397
00:18:33,740 --> 00:18:36,910
ANDRE: We're trying to bring
in $250 million tonight.
398
00:18:36,910 --> 00:18:38,210
We need her,
or I can't get these people,
399
00:18:38,210 --> 00:18:39,810
I can't get this money.
400
00:18:39,810 --> 00:18:41,070
Please do it for us, okay?
401
00:18:41,080 --> 00:18:43,380
ANIKA:
Heard a lot about you, Mimi.
402
00:18:43,380 --> 00:18:44,880
Tell me what you've heard.
Well... (laughs)
403
00:18:44,880 --> 00:18:45,870
Who'd you hear it from?
404
00:18:45,880 --> 00:18:47,710
(laughs)
405
00:18:47,720 --> 00:18:50,550
Oh, look at that. I like this
little beauty mark right there.
406
00:18:50,550 --> 00:18:51,710
(Mimi laughs) ANIKA:
Do I have one there?
407
00:18:51,720 --> 00:18:53,050
Welcome home, Mimi.
408
00:18:53,050 --> 00:18:54,580
Look, these dudes
from Atlanta think
409
00:18:54,590 --> 00:18:56,490
they giving us a run
for our money.
410
00:18:56,490 --> 00:18:59,090
But you know your boy Keem got
some hooks into those cats.
411
00:18:59,090 --> 00:19:00,650
Here you go, baby.
412
00:19:00,660 --> 00:19:02,060
Ooh! Do you?
413
00:19:02,060 --> 00:19:04,760
We have our eye on the
future, Mimi. Yes.
414
00:19:04,760 --> 00:19:07,090
We're making a big
streaming play.
415
00:19:07,100 --> 00:19:09,835
It's gonna go global. I hear Lil
Wayne may be a free agent soon.
416
00:19:09,836 --> 00:19:12,830
Oh, yeah? So, who do you got in
the streets in your ear, Mimi?
417
00:19:14,670 --> 00:19:16,910
Don't you worry your pretty
little weave about that, Cookie.
418
00:19:16,910 --> 00:19:18,570
(laughter)
419
00:19:18,570 --> 00:19:20,900
No, what I'd really like
to know is,
420
00:19:20,910 --> 00:19:23,245
why do you want
to depose Lucious?
421
00:19:23,246 --> 00:19:26,940
He's lost his way, and I
need to get my company back
422
00:19:26,950 --> 00:19:30,750
before he destroys it,
or destroys my family.
423
00:19:30,750 --> 00:19:33,690
Mm-hmm. I'm saving
it for my sons.
424
00:19:33,690 --> 00:19:35,790
Oh.
425
00:19:35,790 --> 00:19:37,050
For my babies.
426
00:19:37,050 --> 00:19:39,250
So it's for the children?
427
00:19:39,260 --> 00:19:41,760

Yes?

Ten weeks
on the Billboard charts.
450
00:20:54,450 --> 00:20:56,390
That's impressive, Jamal.
451
00:20:58,280 --> 00:21:00,240
You know what turns me on?
452
00:21:00,250 --> 00:21:01,980
What?
453
00:21:01,990 --> 00:21:03,320
You.
454
00:21:03,320 --> 00:21:06,180
Putting together
this whole LGBT party.
455
00:21:06,190 --> 00:21:07,330
It's good for you.
456
00:21:07,330 --> 00:21:08,920
You made me look good.
457
00:21:08,930 --> 00:21:11,030
You always look good.
458
00:21:12,860 --> 00:21:14,760
So you are going to make it
to the meeting tomorrow.
459

Yes, he is a ho.
467
00:21:33,180 --> 00:21:35,450

called back again.

you some ugly flowers.

500
00:23:03,020 --> 00:23:04,720
ordered me to come
to some meeting.
501
00:23:04,720 --> 00:23:05,950
You know I don't take orders
from Jamal
502
00:23:05,950 --> 00:23:07,680
or his punk-ass assistant.
Hakeem...

Yeah, tell her
I'll call her back later.

00:23:15,060 --> 00:23:17,030
Hey, Carol. Cookie says

00:23:17,030 --> 00:23:20,030
she gonna call you back. Porsha,
did she get some flowers?
509
00:23:20,030 --> 00:23:22,700
Yeah. You sent them? Ooh. I got to go.
No, it's the guy.
510
00:23:22,700 --> 00:23:24,740
It's that crazy guy. I-I'll tell
her you sent 'em. I got to go.

00:23:42,410 --> 00:23:45,210
and I want Jamal
to be a part of it.
519
00:23:45,220 --> 00:23:48,250
Y'all gotta be in a good place.
520
00:23:48,250 --> 00:23:50,980
(lock beeps, door opens)
521
00:23:53,720 --> 00:23:54,950
Leave us alone.
522
00:23:54,960 --> 00:23:58,090
You must be the new prosecutor.
523
00:23:58,090 --> 00:24:00,090
According
to the federal statute,
524
00:24:00,100 --> 00:24:03,070
this meeting is... illegal.
525
00:24:05,170 --> 00:24:06,635
I saw an old friend of yours
526
00:24:06,636 --> 00:24:09,090
the other day.
He sends his regards.
527
00:24:09,100 --> 00:24:11,160
I got a lot of old friends,
Roxanne.
528
00:24:11,170 --> 00:24:13,510
You don't mind
if I call you Roxanne, do you?
529
00:24:13,510 --> 00:24:15,510
What you should call me
is your worst nightmare,
530
00:24:15,510 --> 00:24:17,810
because that's
exactly what I'm gonna be.
531
00:24:17,810 --> 00:24:20,980
See that?
You just gave me goose bumps.
532
00:24:20,980 --> 00:24:23,950
So what did this old friend
of mine have to say?
533
00:24:23,950 --> 00:24:25,820
Vernon thinks
that Bunkie's murder
534
00:24:25,820 --> 00:24:27,790
had to do with more
than extortion.
535
00:24:27,790 --> 00:24:29,840
Plead guilty,
536
00:24:29,850 --> 00:24:31,850
and then we can start talking
about some of the other killers
537
00:24:31,850 --> 00:24:33,780
in your business.
538
00:24:33,790 --> 00:24:37,130
You help us take them down,
I promise you won't die in here.
539
00:24:37,130 --> 00:24:39,690
So that's your campaign, huh?
540
00:24:39,690 --> 00:24:41,290
You're planning on running
541
00:24:41,290 --> 00:24:44,660
for attorney general,
but as a Republican.
542
00:24:44,660 --> 00:24:47,260
And you think that being
the black bitch in cheap shoes
543
00:24:47,270 --> 00:24:49,740
who took down hip-hop,
that's your way to victory.
544
00:24:51,270 --> 00:24:54,340
Let me share something with you,
Ms. Clarence Thomas.
545
00:24:54,340 --> 00:24:57,210
I don't care how many of us
you lock behind bars.
546
00:24:57,210 --> 00:24:59,640
You ain't never gonna be nothing
but a black bitch
547
00:24:59,640 --> 00:25:00,970
in cheap shoes to me.
548
00:25:00,980 --> 00:25:02,645
A black bitch in cheap shoes
549
00:25:02,646 --> 00:25:05,010
that'll jam them right up
your yellow ass.
550
00:25:05,010 --> 00:25:07,040
Is that how you want it?
551
00:25:08,220 --> 00:25:10,950
I'd pay good money for it.
552
00:25:10,950 --> 00:25:14,150
If I were you,
I would consider my offer.
553
00:25:14,150 --> 00:25:16,210
It's the best one
you're gonna get.
554
00:25:18,060 --> 00:25:21,990
And they're Tom Ford,
by the way.
555
00:25:21,990 --> 00:25:23,350
(knocks on door)
556
00:25:23,360 --> 00:25:24,790
Hey.
557
00:25:24,790 --> 00:25:26,890
(door opens)
558
00:25:26,900 --> 00:25:28,270
(indistinct chatter)
559
00:25:35,700 --> 00:25:38,170
How's your music?
Good.
560
00:25:38,170 --> 00:25:39,730
Spit something for me.
561
00:25:39,740 --> 00:25:41,170
He in jail. Do it.
562
00:25:41,180 --> 00:25:42,980

577
00:26:17,840 --> 00:26:19,540
Lucious, you got another visitor
578
00:26:19,540 --> 00:26:20,610
in Room A.
579
00:26:22,410 --> 00:26:24,240
I'm not complaining,
but I have 20 minutes
580
00:26:24,240 --> 00:26:25,940
before the board meeting, Becky.
581
00:26:25,940 --> 00:26:27,730
Complaining. They're trying

00:26:28,910 --> 00:26:30,580
Who's singing?
Michael's in there

00:26:30,580 --> 00:26:32,910
with the gay and lesbian people.
They've been waiting.
585
00:26:32,910 --> 00:26:34,070
BECKY:

Hi, Jamal.
How you doing?
601
00:27:15,780 --> 00:27:17,620
I'm so excited
to be giving you an award.
602
00:27:17,620 --> 00:27:19,120
Thank you.
603
00:27:19,120 --> 00:27:20,420
Let's do a duet after.
604
00:27:20,420 --> 00:27:22,250
Oh.
605
00:27:22,250 --> 00:27:23,450
Becky, let's think about that.
606
00:27:23,450 --> 00:27:24,480
Don't be shady.
607
00:27:24,490 --> 00:27:25,750
It'll be fun!
608
00:27:25,750 --> 00:27:27,080
(laughing)
Becky,
609
00:27:27,090 --> 00:27:28,620
Donnie McClurkin will be there.
610
00:27:28,620 --> 00:27:30,150
Donnie McClurkin?
611
00:27:30,160 --> 00:27:31,590
I love him!
612
00:27:31,590 --> 00:27:33,120
Do you?
613
00:27:33,120 --> 00:27:35,380
We fall down,
but we get up, don't we?
614
00:27:35,390 --> 00:27:37,390
Won't he will!
Will he won't!
615
00:27:37,390 --> 00:27:38,950
Ooh, shando!
616
00:27:38,960 --> 00:27:40,160

617
00:27:44,400 --> 00:27:46,540
Hakeem, it's happening.
618
00:27:48,140 --> 00:27:49,410

00:28:12,090 --> 00:28:13,620
by the large share purchase
from today,
627
00:28:13,620 --> 00:28:15,480
but I just want to let
all y'all know we're fine.
628
00:28:15,490 --> 00:28:17,490
Empire is just as strong
as we've ever been.
629
00:28:17,490 --> 00:28:19,490
Actually it's much
stronger, Jamal.
630
00:28:19,490 --> 00:28:21,320
'Cause we're taking it over.
631
00:28:21,330 --> 00:28:22,830
COOKIE: Didn't I tell you to
let me do the talking?
632
00:28:22,830 --> 00:28:24,500
Now, let me explain
how this is gonna work.
633
00:28:24,500 --> 00:28:26,000
Hey, sister girl.
634
00:28:26,000 --> 00:28:27,800
(groans quietly)
635
00:28:27,800 --> 00:28:30,000
In partnership with a woman
by the name of Mimi Whiteman,
636
00:28:30,000 --> 00:28:32,500
we have taken a controlling
interest in Empire.
637
00:28:32,500 --> 00:28:34,600
But that doesn't mean we're
gonna take it from you, Jamal.
638
00:28:34,610 --> 00:28:36,010
ANIKA: We're taking
it from Lucious.
639
00:28:36,010 --> 00:28:37,610
Our first order of business
640
00:28:37,610 --> 00:28:39,980
is removing Lucious Lyon as CEO.
641
00:28:39,980 --> 00:28:41,610
Sorry, brother,
it's just business.
642
00:28:41,610 --> 00:28:43,000
Don't be so mean.
643
00:28:43,010 --> 00:28:45,370
No, it's just business.
644
00:28:45,380 --> 00:28:46,610
Yes.
645
00:28:46,620 --> 00:28:48,420
Right, Mimi?
646
00:28:51,650 --> 00:28:52,780
We had a deal!
647
00:28:52,790 --> 00:28:53,790
I met with Lucious this morning
648
00:28:53,790 --> 00:28:55,220
and made a better deal.
649
00:28:56,060 --> 00:28:57,360
(chuckles)
650
00:28:59,160 --> 00:29:01,230
I thought I told you
to sleep with her.
651
00:29:01,230 --> 00:29:02,660
I did.
652
00:29:02,660 --> 00:29:04,990
You can't even dyke right.
653
00:29:04,990 --> 00:29:06,890
I'd give Anita an A for effort.
654
00:29:06,900 --> 00:29:08,500
You made all the right moves.
655
00:29:08,500 --> 00:29:10,300
I wanted a little music company
to play with.
656
00:29:10,300 --> 00:29:13,070
You convinced me
to invest in Empire.
657
00:29:13,070 --> 00:29:14,640
You just forgot
one little detail.
658
00:29:14,640 --> 00:29:17,230
Lucious Lyon is Empire.
659
00:29:17,240 --> 00:29:19,300
Empire is Lucious Lyon.
660
00:29:19,300 --> 00:29:21,130
Without him,
the company's nothing.
661
00:29:21,140 --> 00:29:24,510
Oh, someone
wants to say something.
662
00:29:24,510 --> 00:29:26,310
(laughing)
663
00:29:27,540 --> 00:29:29,240
Hi.
664
00:29:29,250 --> 00:29:30,980
(Lucious laughs)
665
00:29:30,980 --> 00:29:33,150
Game over, bitches.
666
00:29:33,150 --> 00:29:35,320
Bye-bye.
667
00:29:49,100 --> 00:29:51,100
Come on, man, just stop.
668
00:29:51,100 --> 00:29:53,570
Just tell me
what I need to know...
669
00:29:53,570 --> 00:29:56,140
and we okay.
670
00:30:00,040 --> 00:30:03,410
It was Cookie.
671
00:30:03,410 --> 00:30:05,080
Come on, brah.
672
00:30:05,080 --> 00:30:08,050
Cookie Lyon ain't no snitch.
673
00:30:08,050 --> 00:30:09,620
You got to do better than that.
674
00:30:09,620 --> 00:30:13,080
It was Cookie.
675
00:30:26,100 --> 00:30:28,670
Frank Gathers.
676
00:30:34,040 --> 00:30:36,610
That bitch.
677
00:30:36,610 --> 00:30:38,610
Can't you see I was doing this
678
00:30:38,610 --> 00:30:41,480
to protect you, Jamal?
679
00:30:41,480 --> 00:30:44,080
Y-You can't see that?
No.
680
00:30:44,080 --> 00:30:47,580
You call it protecting,
I call it back-stabbing.
681
00:30:47,580 --> 00:30:49,980
When he threw me in a trashcan,
he did it to my face.
682
00:30:49,980 --> 00:30:52,040
I pulled you out
of the trashcan, Jamal.
683
00:30:52,050 --> 00:30:53,480
I didn't betray you.
684
00:30:53,490 --> 00:30:55,460
You were always gonna be
a part of the company.
685
00:30:55,460 --> 00:30:57,280
Was I gonna run it?
686
00:30:57,290 --> 00:30:58,920
No, because you wanted to.
687
00:30:58,920 --> 00:31:00,620
It was my sacrifice that
started this company.
688
00:31:00,620 --> 00:31:03,250
"My sacrifice
that started this company."
689
00:31:03,260 --> 00:31:05,100
I'm so sick and tired
of hearing the same old thing.
690
00:31:05,100 --> 00:31:06,550
Yeah, Ma, you sacrificed.
691
00:31:06,560 --> 00:31:08,920
But that don't give you
the right to tear us down.
692
00:31:08,930 --> 00:31:11,170
(laughs quietly)
693
00:31:12,930 --> 00:31:15,430
You're turning into your daddy.
694
00:31:15,440 --> 00:31:18,510
(wry laugh)
I'm watching it happen.
695
00:31:34,350 --> 00:31:35,750
(door closes)
696
00:31:35,750 --> 00:31:37,580
KIDS:
Hey, Aunt Cookie!
697
00:31:37,590 --> 00:31:39,260
Hey.
698
00:31:39,260 --> 00:31:40,320
Carol?
699
00:31:40,320 --> 00:31:43,150
How did you get in my house?
700
00:31:43,160 --> 00:31:44,660
And why they playing
with my wigs?
701
00:31:44,660 --> 00:31:46,160
'Cause I like this one.
702
00:31:46,160 --> 00:31:48,160
Oh, girl, you better
put that brush down.
703
00:31:48,160 --> 00:31:50,160
Cookie...
704
00:31:50,170 --> 00:31:51,700
I tried to tell that dumb-ass
assistant of yours
705
00:31:51,700 --> 00:31:53,940
that the roses
isn't a mistake this time.
706
00:31:53,940 --> 00:31:55,460
What roses?
707
00:31:55,470 --> 00:31:57,470
Cookie, the roses.
708
00:31:57,470 --> 00:31:59,570
They're really
from Frank Gathers.
709
00:32:04,040 --> 00:32:06,500
Kisha, Kisha!
710
00:32:06,510 --> 00:32:08,170
Hey, hey! Luther, you guys,
go in the other room.
711
00:32:08,180 --> 00:32:10,580
Go, go, go, go!
712
00:32:12,620 --> 00:32:14,590
Ah! Put that down!
Put that down!
713
00:32:29,130 --> 00:32:31,630
(both gasping)
714
00:32:31,630 --> 00:32:34,490
Oh, no, no, no...
715
00:32:34,500 --> 00:32:36,060
No!
716
00:32:36,070 --> 00:32:37,240
They kind of sprung the whole
717
00:32:37,240 --> 00:32:39,040
Miss Lawrence thing
on me, Jamal.
718
00:32:39,040 --> 00:32:40,240
I know you're not comfortable
719
00:32:40,240 --> 00:32:41,640
around flamboyant
dudes like that.
720
00:32:41,640 --> 00:32:43,010
That ain't true.
721
00:32:43,010 --> 00:32:44,540
Oh, come on.
You just hate him
722
00:32:44,540 --> 00:32:46,040
'cause he's too real for you.
723
00:32:46,040 --> 00:32:47,900
But it puts me
in a bad position.
724
00:32:47,910 --> 00:32:50,010
All right, well...
725
00:32:50,010 --> 00:32:51,670
what you want me to do?
726
00:32:51,680 --> 00:32:54,180
Y'all-y'all want some money...
Like $50,000?
727
00:32:54,180 --> 00:32:55,910
(scoffs)
728
00:32:55,920 --> 00:32:59,020
So you're gonna
buy us with $50,000
729
00:32:59,020 --> 00:33:00,380
'cause you're canceling
at the last minute?
730
00:33:00,390 --> 00:33:02,020
What you want?
731
00:33:02,020 --> 00:33:05,390
You want 100?
That what you want?
732
00:33:05,390 --> 00:33:07,550
You want all this
money off Empire?
733
00:33:07,560 --> 00:33:09,350
This is my company.
734
00:33:09,360 --> 00:33:11,660
Yes.
Mm.
735
00:33:11,660 --> 00:33:14,230
Well, look, make
the announcement tonight
736
00:33:14,230 --> 00:33:16,660
and you apologize for me
not coming.
737
00:33:18,600 --> 00:33:21,400

Just deal with it.
759
00:34:26,290 --> 00:34:28,390
No. Boy, I'm not taking
another Cookie cuss-out
760
00:34:28,390 --> 00:34:30,730
'cause you don't want to answer the phone.
Well, I don't care
761
00:34:30,730 --> 00:34:32,380
about it either way.
I ain't, either.
762

Please just deal with it.
763
00:34:36,430 --> 00:34:38,400
Thank you.
764
00:34:38,400 --> 00:34:40,000
Ma, seriously?
This is the first time
765
00:34:40,000 --> 00:34:41,800
I've been in the studio
in three weeks.
766
00:34:41,800 --> 00:34:44,570
Jamal, listen to me.
This is not a joke.
767
00:34:44,570 --> 00:34:47,670
Stop what you're doing right
now, go to your father's house.
768
00:34:47,670 --> 00:34:49,610
You will be safe there.
You hear me? Why?
769
00:34:49,610 --> 00:34:52,970
I am not joking.
This is very real. Okay?
770
00:34:54,070 --> 00:34:55,300
Hey, what is this?
771
00:34:55,310 --> 00:34:57,110
Jamal, just go.
772
00:34:57,110 --> 00:34:58,410
I'll see you later.
773
00:34:58,410 --> 00:35:01,010
(sobbing)
774
00:35:01,010 --> 00:35:04,170
Why are you over there
crying like Tammy Faye Bakker?
775
00:35:04,180 --> 00:35:07,110
Get your ass together. Get them
kids and go over to Lucious's.
776
00:35:07,120 --> 00:35:09,190
Go, Carol!
777
00:35:16,130 --> 00:35:17,190
(lock buzzes, clicks)
778
00:35:34,480 --> 00:35:36,710
Why you looking like Mr. T?
779
00:35:36,710 --> 00:35:38,710
Ain't nobody come
all the way out here
780
00:35:38,710 --> 00:35:41,340
to play no games
with you, Lucious.
781
00:35:42,880 --> 00:35:45,380
(chuckles)
782
00:35:45,380 --> 00:35:48,380
For whatever reason,
I still love you.
783
00:35:48,390 --> 00:35:49,690
Oh...
I do,
784
00:35:49,690 --> 00:35:52,220
and I'm so sorry I didn't...
785
00:35:52,220 --> 00:35:54,550
come and visit you
all those years in here.
786
00:35:54,560 --> 00:35:56,160
This place is hell.
787
00:35:56,160 --> 00:35:59,390
Three months.
You been in here three months.
788
00:35:59,390 --> 00:36:02,060
Talk to me after five years.
If there's
789
00:36:02,060 --> 00:36:04,820
any justice,
we'll have that conversation.
790
00:36:04,830 --> 00:36:07,030
You mean that?
What, you think I don't,
791
00:36:07,030 --> 00:36:08,790
'cause I threw
that little concert?
792
00:36:08,800 --> 00:36:11,860
Nah. See, I know you threw
that little concert
793
00:36:11,870 --> 00:36:15,230
'cause you was trying to impress
that big investor of yours.
794
00:36:15,240 --> 00:36:17,640
Real sorry that
didn't work out for you, babe.
795
00:36:17,640 --> 00:36:20,340
I did that
for our sons, Lucious.
796
00:36:20,350 --> 00:36:22,720
That's...
797
00:36:24,720 --> 00:36:27,520
It's tearing my babies apart,
having you in here.
798
00:36:27,520 --> 00:36:30,850
You always were ride or die.
799
00:36:30,850 --> 00:36:32,980
Save that for Anika.
800
00:36:32,990 --> 00:36:35,930
Or one of these little boys
you messing around with in here.
801
00:36:35,930 --> 00:36:42,830
(laughing)
802
00:36:42,830 --> 00:36:44,860
That's crazy how
I can love your ass
803
00:36:44,870 --> 00:36:46,940
and hate you at the same moment.
804
00:36:51,070 --> 00:36:53,930
All right, so,
uh, why'd you come?
805
00:36:57,510 --> 00:36:59,610
They messing with us, Lucious.
806
00:36:59,610 --> 00:37:01,410
Who's messing with you?
807
00:37:01,410 --> 00:37:03,570
That skinny...
808
00:37:03,580 --> 00:37:05,580
animal.
809
00:37:05,580 --> 00:37:06,910
Idi Amin.
810
00:37:06,920 --> 00:37:09,420
Frankie?
811
00:37:12,460 --> 00:37:13,960
I need you to fix it.
812
00:37:18,430 --> 00:37:19,860
So, what'd he do?
813
00:37:25,430 --> 00:37:27,760
GATHERS:
Lucious. Over here.
814
00:37:31,800 --> 00:37:34,360
Came solo.
It shows respect.
815
00:37:34,370 --> 00:37:36,700
Sometimes that's all we got.
816
00:37:40,710 --> 00:37:42,810
Brother, I wanted to tell you...
817
00:37:42,810 --> 00:37:45,810
if there's a problem between us,
818
00:37:45,810 --> 00:37:48,510
we... we can always
work it out.
819
00:37:50,580 --> 00:37:51,980
(playing discordant notes)
820
00:37:51,990 --> 00:37:54,620
Oh, my God.
821
00:37:54,620 --> 00:37:57,790
That damn piano.
Can you make them stop?
822
00:37:57,790 --> 00:38:00,660
Aunt Carol, did she say how long
823
00:38:00,660 --> 00:38:02,430
we're supposed to be here?
824
00:38:02,430 --> 00:38:04,430
No.
825
00:38:04,430 --> 00:38:06,570
Okay, well, did she say
what it's about?
826
00:38:06,570 --> 00:38:08,960
All right.
Listen,
827
00:38:08,970 --> 00:38:11,430
there's this guy
828
00:38:11,430 --> 00:38:14,560
that we used to move drugs for
back in the day.
829
00:38:15,840 --> 00:38:18,770
And he was...
he was really dangerous.
830
00:38:18,770 --> 00:38:20,430
How dangerous?
831
00:38:20,440 --> 00:38:22,440
LUCIOUS:
Now, first of all,
832
00:38:22,440 --> 00:38:24,640
I want to apologize
if I overstepped some bounds
833
00:38:24,640 --> 00:38:26,470
with you and your
little girl, and...
834
00:38:26,480 --> 00:38:27,950
she's just really talented.
835
00:38:27,950 --> 00:38:29,950
Yeah, thanks a lot, man.
She's special,
836
00:38:29,950 --> 00:38:31,920
and that's why
I think there's a...
837
00:38:31,920 --> 00:38:33,920
a home for her at Empire.
838
00:38:33,920 --> 00:38:35,790
With your blessing.
839
00:38:35,790 --> 00:38:37,960
We got a bigger problem
here, Lucious.
840
00:38:37,960 --> 00:38:41,330
And you throwing my daughter
a bone ain't gonna fix it.
841
00:38:41,330 --> 00:38:43,090
Cookie's a snitch.
842
00:38:43,090 --> 00:38:46,290
She rat me out to the Feds.
That's how she got out so early.
843
00:38:46,300 --> 00:38:48,470
Now we both know I got to do
something about that.
844
00:38:48,470 --> 00:38:51,030
This is between me and Cookie.
845
00:38:51,030 --> 00:38:52,760
Me and you are cool.
846
00:38:52,770 --> 00:38:54,840
Unless you tell me
something different.
847
00:38:59,370 --> 00:39:01,430
Um...
848
00:39:03,480 --> 00:39:05,050
Yeah, we good.
849
00:39:08,380 --> 00:39:10,480
Cold-blooded.
850
00:39:10,480 --> 00:39:11,980
That's why I always liked you.
851
00:39:11,980 --> 00:39:14,640
Always liked you, too.
852
00:39:14,650 --> 00:39:16,880
But I love Cookie,
and if you got war with her,
853
00:39:16,890 --> 00:39:18,960
then you got war with me.
854
00:39:20,720 --> 00:39:22,720
Wow.
855
00:39:22,730 --> 00:39:25,490
You are crazy.
856
00:39:25,490 --> 00:39:27,520
Crazier than I thought.
857
00:39:28,830 --> 00:39:30,500
Kill him.
858
00:39:30,500 --> 00:39:32,500
Make it fast
859
00:39:32,500 --> 00:39:34,670
and quiet.
860
00:39:34,670 --> 00:39:36,570
Bye.
861
00:39:36,570 --> 00:39:38,710
I'm sorry,
I think you're confused.
862
00:39:42,870 --> 00:39:45,130
Now, please sit down.
863
00:39:47,880 --> 00:39:50,220
See, Frankie, you always
wanted to run the streets.
864
00:39:50,220 --> 00:39:52,910
But me, I wanted
to rule the world.
865
00:39:52,920 --> 00:39:54,920
Like Mike...
Now, he may never
866
00:39:54,920 --> 00:39:56,690
see his mama again
'cause he's serving life,
867
00:39:56,690 --> 00:39:58,655
but he ain't got to
worry about her mortgage,
868
00:39:58,656 --> 00:40:00,050
'cause I took care of that.
869
00:40:00,050 --> 00:40:02,050
And Bamm-Bamm,
his baby girl is sick.
870
00:40:02,060 --> 00:40:06,360
And she gonna need some help in
this cold-ass world that I rule.
871
00:40:06,360 --> 00:40:10,100
And, Guy, wh-what
was it again, Guy?
872
00:40:10,100 --> 00:40:12,000
Just the music, man.
873
00:40:12,000 --> 00:40:13,000
LUCIOUS:
That's right.
874
00:40:13,000 --> 00:40:14,230
He's a musician.
875
00:40:14,230 --> 00:40:16,060
Just like Freda.
876
00:40:18,900 --> 00:40:21,160
Kill him.
877
00:40:21,170 --> 00:40:25,940
Make it loud, and make it long.
878
00:40:25,940 --> 00:40:29,910
And by the way,
I'm-a sign your baby girl.
879
00:40:29,910 --> 00:40:31,910
And then I'm-a
slip her my bone.
880
00:40:31,910 --> 00:40:33,410
Bye.

I'm gonna bury
your album, Hakeem.
890
00:40:51,430 --> 00:40:53,430
It's never gonna see
the light of day.
891
00:40:53,430 --> 00:40:54,630
You'd do that to me?
892
00:40:56,130 --> 00:40:58,030
Empire's not gonna spend
hundreds of thousands of dollars
893
00:40:58,030 --> 00:41:00,030
on a artist that would
try to take us down.
894
00:41:00,030 --> 00:41:02,630
Nah, that's not
why you killing it.
895
00:41:02,630 --> 00:41:04,530
You don't want anyone to hear it
896
00:41:04,540 --> 00:41:05,910
'cause you want to be
the only one.
897
00:41:05,910 --> 00:41:07,360
I've always been the only one.
898
00:41:07,370 --> 00:41:08,900
That's what you thought.
899
00:41:08,910 --> 00:41:11,480
You know my album gonna
sell more than yours.
900
00:41:11,480 --> 00:41:13,070
But it's cool.
901
00:41:13,080 --> 00:41:15,940
You're right, Hakeem.
902
00:41:15,940 --> 00:41:17,400
That's the reason why.
903
00:41:17,410 --> 00:41:19,710
I deserve to be the king!
904
00:41:21,250 --> 00:41:22,820
COOKIE:
It's over.
905
00:41:22,820 --> 00:41:24,490
It's all over.
906
00:41:27,650 --> 00:41:28,780
Where's Andre?
907
00:41:28,790 --> 00:41:30,050
Hey, Mom.
908
00:41:30,050 --> 00:41:31,450
Where's Carol?
909
00:41:31,450 --> 00:41:33,150
Upstairs in the playroom
with the kids.
910
00:41:33,160 --> 00:41:35,290
Can you please explain what
the hell is going on here?
911
00:41:35,290 --> 00:41:37,290
It was, um...
(chuckles)
912
00:41:37,290 --> 00:41:39,290
it was an old beef.
913
00:41:39,290 --> 00:41:41,020
With a very dangerous man.
914
00:41:42,760 --> 00:41:44,620
He took care of it from prison?
915
00:41:44,630 --> 00:41:46,630
Yeah, well, your father's
a son of a bitch.
916
00:41:46,630 --> 00:41:47,930
(chuckles)
917
00:41:47,940 --> 00:41:49,940
But he's still your father.
918
00:41:49,940 --> 00:41:52,880
And I'm still your mother,
don't you ever forget that.
919
00:41:59,180 --> 00:42:00,810
Get out.
920
00:42:00,810 --> 00:42:02,740
You, you.
921
00:42:02,750 --> 00:42:05,750
Out. Andre, out.
Rhonda, get out.
922
00:42:05,750 --> 00:42:07,950
Jamal. Right now. You trippin'.
923
00:42:07,950 --> 00:42:09,680
Jamal... Get out of
my father's house.
924
00:42:09,690 --> 00:42:10,990
You betrayed him, all of you.
Your father's...
925
00:42:10,990 --> 00:42:12,660
And we don't want
anything to do with it.
926
00:42:12,660 --> 00:42:13,930
I'll happily leave, okay?
JAMAL: Thank you. Bye.
927
00:42:13,930 --> 00:42:15,150
Come on, babe, let's go.
928
00:42:15,160 --> 00:42:17,830
Andre, I'm gonna
take care of this, baby.
929
00:42:17,830 --> 00:42:19,660
It's not even your house.
Come on, Hakeem.
930
00:42:19,660 --> 00:42:20,790
I got it.
931
00:42:20,800 --> 00:42:22,100
No, just go ahead.
932
00:42:22,100 --> 00:42:24,100
Jamal, look.
933
00:42:24,100 --> 00:42:25,700
I can fix this, baby.
934
00:42:25,700 --> 00:42:26,970
You know I can.
935
00:42:26,970 --> 00:42:28,770
Uh, look, we can
be a family again.
936
00:42:28,770 --> 00:42:30,710
Get out.
937
00:42:32,540 --> 00:42:35,840
Who you think you're talking to?
938
00:42:44,950 --> 00:42:47,020
You done now, lady.
