- Previously on Empire...
- ANDRE: Rhonda!
2
00:00:03,063 --> 00:00:04,429
Andre messed up.
3
00:00:04,497 --> 00:00:06,264
Andre did mess up.
4
00:00:06,316 --> 00:00:08,349
What's your half
brother Tariq doing here?
5
00:00:08,435 --> 00:00:09,495
I know Lucious married Anika
6
00:00:09,519 --> 00:00:10,839
just to keep her from testifying.
7
00:00:10,904 --> 00:00:13,488
If I can prove that the marriage
is fake, I can subpoena her.
8
00:00:13,573 --> 00:00:15,690
I know we're still good as long as I see
9
00:00:15,775 --> 00:00:17,640
- that fire in your eye.
- What me and you had
10
00:00:17,765 --> 00:00:18,659
is dead.
11
00:00:19,946 --> 00:00:21,946
COOKIE: Get yourself together.
12
00:00:22,031 --> 00:00:24,599
She is out there taking your song.
13
00:00:24,667 --> 00:00:27,101
LUCIOUS: We're gonna
show all these haters
14
00:00:27,243 --> 00:00:28,953
how dark hell can get.
15
00:00:47,474 --> 00:00:48,639
Thanks.
16
00:01:01,121 --> 00:01:02,320
Thank you.
17
00:01:12,048 --> 00:01:13,664
PORSHA: Cookie!
18
00:01:13,750 --> 00:01:15,666
Cookie, you gotta come see this, Cookie!
19
00:01:15,718 --> 00:01:17,301
Would you shut up all that noi...
20
00:01:19,389 --> 00:01:20,588
Oh, hell no.
21
00:01:20,673 --> 00:01:21,839
Uh-uh. Out.
22
00:01:21,925 --> 00:01:23,174
Take it out. All of it.
23
00:01:23,226 --> 00:01:24,008
What?
24
00:01:24,060 --> 00:01:25,176
Take it out.
25
00:01:25,261 --> 00:01:26,781
All right, get it, get it out of here.
26
00:01:26,813 --> 00:01:28,179
You sure? All of it?
27
00:01:28,231 --> 00:01:29,542
We can't keep the espresso machine,
28
00:01:29,566 --> 00:01:30,898
a couple Jimmy Choos or nothing?
29
00:01:30,984 --> 00:01:32,600
Out! All of it!
30
00:01:32,685 --> 00:01:34,685
That damn Lucious needs to stop.
31
00:01:34,771 --> 00:01:36,237
I'm done with his ass.

- WOMAN: Mm-hmm.
- ANIKA: Um...
34
00:01:47,033 --> 00:01:48,716
Bella's a preemie, and
so she's gonna need
35
00:01:48,785 --> 00:01:49,951
some specific attention.
36
00:01:50,019 --> 00:01:50,674
WOMAN: Yes.
37
00:01:50,675 --> 00:01:53,287
How do you handle stressful situations?
38
00:01:53,373 --> 00:01:55,790
Well, I assess the baby's needs.
39
00:01:55,875 --> 00:01:58,522
Does she need to be fed, or burped,
40
00:01:58,523 --> 00:02:01,434
- or should I pick her up and...
- LUCIOUS: Wait. Hold on, hold on.
41
00:02:01,435 --> 00:02:03,596
Who in the hell are all
these people in my house?
42
00:02:03,597 --> 00:02:04,695
Oh, my God.
43
00:02:04,696 --> 00:02:06,162
Up, up, up, up, up. Out. Come on.
44
00:02:06,186 --> 00:02:07,662
I'm sorry, the interview's over.
45
00:02:07,663 --> 00:02:08,769
Out. Ladies!
46
00:02:08,855 --> 00:02:10,888
Ladies! Out! I don't need a nanny.
47
00:02:10,940 --> 00:02:12,390
LUCIOUS: I said go!
48
00:02:12,442 --> 00:02:14,308
- Lucious...
- Get the hell out of here.
49
00:02:14,394 --> 00:02:16,060
Come on!
50
00:02:17,614 --> 00:02:20,398
Who gave you the
permission to hire a nanny?
51
00:02:20,483 --> 00:02:22,400
I need permission?
52
00:02:22,452 --> 00:02:23,618
In my house, you do.
53
00:02:23,703 --> 00:02:26,320
Or have you forgotten
that the only reason you in here
54
00:02:26,406 --> 00:02:28,956
is because of that
damn federal investigation?
55
00:02:29,042 --> 00:02:30,458
I don't need people I don't know
56
00:02:30,543 --> 00:02:31,959
looking in my life, okay?
57
00:02:33,296 --> 00:02:34,579
Oh, my God, Lucious,
58
00:02:34,664 --> 00:02:36,163
I need help.
59
00:02:36,249 --> 00:02:37,915
Okay? I cannot do this by myself!
60
00:02:38,001 --> 00:02:40,668
I took care of Dwight all on my own.
61
00:02:40,753 --> 00:02:41,919
I'll get Bella.
62
00:02:42,005 --> 00:02:43,304
No!
63
00:02:43,389 --> 00:02:44,755
You keep your crazy hands
64
00:02:44,841 --> 00:02:46,535
- off of my baby.
- You know what you're gonna do?
65
00:02:46,559 --> 00:02:47,842
You got one job in this house,
66
00:02:47,927 --> 00:02:49,260
and that's a mother.
67
00:02:49,345 --> 00:02:51,579
Get in there and do your damn job.
68
00:02:53,900 --> 00:02:55,933
ANGELA YEE: And we are back, peoples.
69
00:02:56,019 --> 00:02:57,318
And today we've got
70
00:02:57,403 --> 00:02:59,470
Jamal Lyon and City Councilman
71
00:02:59,539 --> 00:03:01,105
Angelo Dubois in the building
72
00:03:01,190 --> 00:03:03,274
and we're talking
about violence in hip hop.
73
00:03:03,359 --> 00:03:05,526
Now, there's a
question that we've all been
74
00:03:05,612 --> 00:03:07,610
dancing around, so I gotta ask:
75
00:03:07,731 --> 00:03:11,616
Jamal, at the Empire XStream
launch party, what happened?
76
00:03:11,701 --> 00:03:14,742
- It looked like you froze up onstage.
- JAMAL: No, I didn't freeze up.
77
00:03:14,743 --> 00:03:16,315
- That's not what happened.
- Well, was it something
78
00:03:16,339 --> 00:03:18,506
to do with you getting shot? Because...
79
00:03:18,591 --> 00:03:20,508
PTSD is nothing to
be ashamed of, brother.
80
00:03:20,576 --> 00:03:23,144
- I'm sorry?
- Posttraumatic stress disorder.
81
00:03:23,212 --> 00:03:24,378
You see, these
82
00:03:24,464 --> 00:03:25,630
African-American men, uh,
83
00:03:25,715 --> 00:03:27,465
they're the primary victims
84
00:03:27,517 --> 00:03:29,357
in gun violence and they
come from a culture...
85
00:03:29,385 --> 00:03:31,302
I-I'm sorry, I'm just
gonna jump in right there.
86
00:03:31,387 --> 00:03:33,020
With all due respect,
87
00:03:33,106 --> 00:03:34,472
you're not a doctor, Councilman,
88
00:03:34,524 --> 00:03:35,690
so please do not diagnose me.
89
00:03:35,775 --> 00:03:37,558
And-and furthermore, as far as
90
00:03:37,644 --> 00:03:40,127
"victim" goes, I'm not that.
91
00:03:40,196 --> 00:03:42,363
If anybody's a victim, it's
actually Freda Gatz.
92
00:03:42,448 --> 00:03:43,594
ANGELO: All right, well,
93
00:03:43,595 --> 00:03:45,629
then who put the gun in her hands?
94
00:03:45,767 --> 00:03:47,680
YEE: Well, Councilman
Dubois has a point, now.
95
00:03:47,704 --> 00:03:48,986
How is Freda Gatz the victim?
96
00:03:49,072 --> 00:03:50,049
Well, then, why don't we all try
97
00:03:50,073 --> 00:03:51,133
to grow up where she grew up?
98
00:03:51,157 --> 00:03:52,624
See, it's that line of thinking
99
00:03:52,689 --> 00:03:54,687
that does a tremendous
disservice to black folk.
100
00:03:54,711 --> 00:03:55,891
Wait, I'm sorry.
101
00:03:55,892 --> 00:03:57,928
What-what country are
we living in? "Disservice"?
102
00:03:57,988 --> 00:04:00,092
It's actually not thinking,
it's a fact, Councilman.
103
00:04:00,116 --> 00:04:02,083
Urban, young, black children
104
00:04:02,151 --> 00:04:04,835
deal with poverty and racism,
105
00:04:04,887 --> 00:04:07,705
oppression from police brutality itself,
106
00:04:07,706 --> 00:04:08,534
- mass incarceration, so how...
- Understandable.
107
00:04:08,558 --> 00:04:10,841
How are we supposed to
deal with these circumstances
108
00:04:10,893 --> 00:04:12,226
if we marginalize ourselves?
109
00:04:12,312 --> 00:04:13,894
- Hmm.
- I'll tell you how.
110
00:04:13,980 --> 00:04:15,346
Education.
111
00:04:15,431 --> 00:04:16,731
Opportunity.
112
00:04:16,816 --> 00:04:20,017
See, this is what we promote
113
00:04:20,103 --> 00:04:22,069
in our program WOKE, all right?
114
00:04:22,155 --> 00:04:24,905
We Organize for
Knowledge and Empowerment.
115
00:04:24,991 --> 00:04:26,874
Well, Councilman, why
don't you tell Jamal Lyon
116
00:04:26,943 --> 00:04:29,276
how WOKE is taking on
racism and oppression?
117
00:04:29,362 --> 00:04:30,561
I have a better idea.
118
00:04:30,630 --> 00:04:32,580
Why doesn't Jamal come and visit
119
00:04:32,665 --> 00:04:35,449
one of our anti-violence
summits this week?
120
00:04:40,540 --> 00:04:42,373
Come through, we'd
love to have you, sir.
121
00:04:42,425 --> 00:04:44,125
I'd love to. I'm there.
122
00:04:44,210 --> 00:04:45,593
All right, yeah.
123
00:04:45,678 --> 00:04:47,446
Hmm.
124
00:04:47,615 --> 00:04:49,158
Jamal, what the hell is wrong with you?
125
00:04:49,182 --> 00:04:50,982
Agreeing to do some stupid summit
126
00:04:50,983 --> 00:04:52,216
with that bougie bitch.
127
00:04:52,268 --> 00:04:53,366
He wouldn't know the streets
128
00:04:53,367 --> 00:04:55,436
- if it shot him in the ass.
- Lord, I know, Ma.
129
00:04:55,521 --> 00:04:57,082
But you know what? He was
making sense and you know it.
130
00:04:57,106 --> 00:04:59,440
You know, what you need to
be doing is making new music.
131
00:04:59,525 --> 00:05:01,726
See, doing that radio
station was just damage control.
132
00:05:01,811 --> 00:05:04,729
You need to get your ass back
onstage and prove to your fans
133
00:05:04,781 --> 00:05:06,375
- that that brain fart was a
one-time thing. - Ma... Ma, Ma...
134
00:05:06,399 --> 00:05:07,565
Excuse me, Mrs. Lyon...
135
00:05:07,650 --> 00:05:09,483
- Ms. Lyon.
- Ms. Lyon.
136
00:05:09,569 --> 00:05:11,068
Are you joining us at the summit?
137
00:05:11,154 --> 00:05:13,237
No, I'm busy, and so is Jamal.
138
00:05:13,322 --> 00:05:14,905
I guess he forgot to tell you
139
00:05:14,991 --> 00:05:16,791
he's in the studio all week.
140
00:05:16,876 --> 00:05:19,243
That's too bad. The kids
are huge fans of yours.
141
00:05:19,295 --> 00:05:20,461
As a matter of fact,
142
00:05:20,546 --> 00:05:22,496
they started Snapchatting already.
143
00:05:22,582 --> 00:05:24,298
- There we go.
- Wow.
144
00:05:24,384 --> 00:05:25,750
ANGELO: That one's Isaiah.
145
00:05:25,802 --> 00:05:27,334
He's a, uh, he's a shining star.
146
00:05:27,420 --> 00:05:29,637
- Mm-hmm.
- Look, you know what?
147
00:05:29,722 --> 00:05:31,255
I'm-I'm gonna figure out my schedule.
148
00:05:31,340 --> 00:05:32,568
You know, I'm not gonna let them down.
149
00:05:32,592 --> 00:05:33,819
That would be great. I appreciate that,
150
00:05:33,843 --> 00:05:34,953
- from both of you.
- Yeah, yeah.
151
00:05:34,977 --> 00:05:36,010
Mm-hmm. We gotta go.
152
00:05:36,095 --> 00:05:37,628
I look forward to
seeing you both there.
153
00:05:37,652 --> 00:05:40,014
- Uh-huh, bye-bye.
- Why you gotta be so rude?
154
00:05:40,099 --> 00:05:42,099
'Cause we got a FBI agent up our ass.
155
00:05:42,151 --> 00:05:43,484
We don't need a politician, too.
156
00:05:43,553 --> 00:05:44,952
That man was being so polite.
157
00:05:45,021 --> 00:05:47,002
I don't trust polite people, stupid.
158
00:05:49,082 --> 00:05:52,200
LUCIOUS: My Empire XStream launch
159
00:05:52,203 --> 00:05:53,817
might have had some difficulties
160
00:05:53,818 --> 00:05:55,286
had you not done what you did.
161
00:05:55,371 --> 00:05:58,217
I mean, nobody's
even talking about Jamal.
162
00:05:58,380 --> 00:05:59,770
All anybody can talk about...
163
00:05:59,771 --> 00:06:01,292
The press and me alike...
164
00:06:01,377 --> 00:06:03,678
Is this rare talent
165
00:06:03,763 --> 00:06:06,113
that just blew everybody away.
166
00:06:06,361 --> 00:06:08,194
SHINE: You shouldn't have cut me off.
167
00:06:08,247 --> 00:06:11,448
We could've been making
millions with Nessa a long time ago.
168
00:06:11,533 --> 00:06:13,700
What I want to know is, what
do you want to do next?
169
00:06:13,752 --> 00:06:15,368
What's your next move?
170
00:06:15,420 --> 00:06:16,786
HAKEEM: I tell you what.
171
00:06:16,872 --> 00:06:18,588
Me and Shine already
working on something.
172
00:06:18,674 --> 00:06:21,958
You know, I was thinking about
coming out with a living album,
173
00:06:22,044 --> 00:06:24,811
something like Yeezy with
his Life of Pablo situation.
174
00:06:24,880 --> 00:06:25,795
But bigger.
175
00:06:25,881 --> 00:06:27,097
And my homie Nessa,
176
00:06:27,182 --> 00:06:28,839
she gonna help me do it,
177
00:06:29,003 --> 00:06:29,926
some of the tracks.
178
00:06:30,087 --> 00:06:31,029
Is that what you really want?
179
00:06:31,053 --> 00:06:32,886
With all the heat
180
00:06:32,971 --> 00:06:34,161
you got going on
181
00:06:34,306 --> 00:06:37,223
from being a part of my
Empire XStream launch,
182
00:06:37,309 --> 00:06:39,726
when the world is your oyster
183
00:06:39,811 --> 00:06:40,977
and you can put any name
184
00:06:41,063 --> 00:06:42,596
in your bucket list,
185
00:06:42,664 --> 00:06:44,898
and these are the only
two you want to work with?
186
00:06:44,983 --> 00:06:47,817
As far as you and Hakeem
working together,
187
00:06:47,903 --> 00:06:49,986
that's a whole nother conversation.
188
00:06:50,072 --> 00:06:52,455
He's got an entirely new set
189
00:06:52,524 --> 00:06:54,791
of familial responsibilities
he's gotta handle.
190
00:06:54,876 --> 00:06:55,970
What's that got to do with it?
191
00:06:55,994 --> 00:06:57,305
LUCIOUS: Bella's at home right now
192
00:06:57,329 --> 00:06:58,828
with her mother, where you should be,
193
00:06:58,914 --> 00:07:02,415
but you've got a
convenient case of amnesia.
194
00:07:02,501 --> 00:07:04,181
But we're gonna talk
about that in private,
195
00:07:04,236 --> 00:07:05,502
'cause me and Shine...
196
00:07:05,587 --> 00:07:08,088
we got business to take care of.
197
00:07:17,232 --> 00:07:20,100
You can keep your
fancy espresso machine,
198
00:07:20,152 --> 00:07:22,352
you can keep your little fancy
199
00:07:22,437 --> 00:07:23,937
wine fridge...
200
00:07:24,022 --> 00:07:25,522
You know what? Lucious, please,
201
00:07:25,590 --> 00:07:27,273
keep all of this stuff, okay?
202
00:07:27,359 --> 00:07:30,610
In fact, give this to your wife.
203
00:07:30,662 --> 00:07:32,829
What are you trying to do, impress me?
204
00:07:32,914 --> 00:07:35,165
You know I can buy all
of this stuff myself.
205
00:07:35,250 --> 00:07:36,477
All right, well, why
don't you just tell me
206
00:07:36,501 --> 00:07:37,617
what it is you need?
207
00:07:37,703 --> 00:07:39,452
What I need
208
00:07:39,538 --> 00:07:41,788
is for you to respect my boundaries.
209
00:07:41,873 --> 00:07:43,340
Stop it with all of this, Lucious,
210
00:07:43,425 --> 00:07:44,674
'cause it's not working.
211
00:07:44,760 --> 00:07:45,959
You handle the business,
212
00:07:46,011 --> 00:07:47,177
I handle the music.
213
00:07:47,262 --> 00:07:48,461
That, and my three sons,
214
00:07:48,513 --> 00:07:49,963
that's all we need to discuss.
215
00:07:50,015 --> 00:07:52,465
Fine. From here on, it's
strictly business.
216
00:07:52,551 --> 00:07:53,800
Strictly business.
217
00:07:53,852 --> 00:07:55,969
Well, businesswise,
218
00:07:56,054 --> 00:07:58,188
you might want to come
by and see me later.
219
00:07:58,273 --> 00:08:00,056
Maybe you can take a look at the artwork
220
00:08:00,142 --> 00:08:02,308
for Jamal's Black and White album.
221
00:08:02,394 --> 00:08:04,194
Uh, Jamal doesn't want to release
222
00:08:04,279 --> 00:08:05,812
the Black and White album.
223
00:08:05,897 --> 00:08:07,480
- You know that, Lucious.
- Yeah, well,
224
00:08:07,532 --> 00:08:08,865
it's not about what Jamal wants.
225
00:08:08,950 --> 00:08:11,317
Empire XStream needs content.
226
00:08:11,403 --> 00:08:13,903
And Jamal needs for his
fans to forget about
227
00:08:13,989 --> 00:08:15,238
his little fainting,
228
00:08:15,323 --> 00:08:16,573
- Justin Bieber moment.
- Look,
229
00:08:16,658 --> 00:08:18,041
Tiana has a record
230
00:08:18,126 --> 00:08:19,520
that will be ready by
the end of the month.
231
00:08:19,544 --> 00:08:21,578
J Poppa's on his way back from his tour,
232
00:08:21,663 --> 00:08:23,997
and V's single is about to drop,
233
00:08:24,082 --> 00:08:25,331
so, there, content.
234
00:08:25,417 --> 00:08:26,583
See, that's why I love you.
235
00:08:26,668 --> 00:08:27,667
You're just amazing.
236
00:08:27,753 --> 00:08:29,002
Look,
237
00:08:29,054 --> 00:08:30,754
I mean that in a strictly business way.
238
00:08:30,839 --> 00:08:32,005
Yeah. Right.
239
00:08:32,090 --> 00:08:33,339
I see you kept the gun.
240
00:08:35,727 --> 00:08:37,260
Bye, Fuh-Lucious.
241
00:08:37,345 --> 00:08:39,345
Nobody got time for your mess.
242
00:08:42,734 --> 00:08:44,350
They'll all come around.
243
00:08:48,657 --> 00:08:49,856
JAMAL: Uh, over here,
244
00:08:49,908 --> 00:08:50,885
these are the recording studios.
245
00:08:50,909 --> 00:08:52,170
We'll go over there in a little bit.
246
00:08:52,194 --> 00:08:55,078
This is where every
single Empire artist records.
247
00:08:55,163 --> 00:08:56,736
Um, that's the boardroom.
248
00:08:56,737 --> 00:08:57,642
They look like they working;
249
00:08:57,666 --> 00:08:59,532
they not really working.
250
00:08:59,618 --> 00:09:00,728
Oh, snap! That's Lucious Lyon!
251
00:09:00,752 --> 00:09:02,035
Dad!
252
00:09:02,120 --> 00:09:04,037
Dad, wait, hold up.
253
00:09:05,674 --> 00:09:07,590
This is Councilman Angelo Dubois.
254
00:09:07,676 --> 00:09:09,542
Mr. Lyon, it's a pleasure.
255
00:09:09,628 --> 00:09:10,794
Oh, it's all mine.
256
00:09:10,879 --> 00:09:11,775
All right, all right.
257
00:09:11,777 --> 00:09:13,524
Mom and I met him today at Power 105,
258
00:09:13,548 --> 00:09:14,964
so I'm kind of helping out
259
00:09:15,050 --> 00:09:16,444
with the anti-violence
summit with the kids.
260
00:09:16,468 --> 00:09:17,801
I'm Zeah, Mr. Lyon.
261
00:09:17,809 --> 00:09:19,113
I'm gonna be an MC, just like you.
262
00:09:19,137 --> 00:09:20,057
Want to hear something?
263
00:09:21,773 --> 00:09:23,807
Okay, go on ahead, man, sure.
264
00:09:23,892 --> 00:09:25,558
All right, check.

270
00:09:37,906 --> 00:09:39,572
Ah!
271
00:09:39,624 --> 00:09:41,135
You had
me nervous for a second.
272
00:09:41,159 --> 00:09:42,887
Man, I thought you was
coming straight for me.
273
00:09:42,911 --> 00:09:44,410
Nah, nah, nah, nah.
274
00:09:44,463 --> 00:09:46,140
But we might have to
put you in the studio,
275
00:09:46,164 --> 00:09:48,414
seeing that Jamal no longer makes music
276
00:09:48,500 --> 00:09:50,083
because he wants to save the world.
277
00:09:50,135 --> 00:09:51,968
My dad likes to come for me a lot,
278
00:09:52,053 --> 00:09:53,636
and it gets very boring.
279
00:09:53,722 --> 00:09:55,421
Besides, you're missing the point.
280
00:09:55,474 --> 00:09:56,923
I'm now making music
281
00:09:57,008 --> 00:09:59,092
- in order to save the world.
- All right.
282
00:09:59,177 --> 00:10:01,494
Zeah here's off to MIT next year.
283
00:10:01,563 --> 00:10:03,179
3.8 GPA.
284
00:10:03,265 --> 00:10:04,848
Wow, that's impressive.
285
00:10:04,933 --> 00:10:06,933
You say your mama's into this, right?
286
00:10:07,018 --> 00:10:08,618
I mean, I'm the one that's on the panel.
287
00:10:08,687 --> 00:10:10,520
So why don't we just hold the summit
288
00:10:10,605 --> 00:10:11,938
right here at Empire?
289
00:10:12,023 --> 00:10:13,106
Oh.
290
00:10:13,191 --> 00:10:14,357
Mr. Lyon, please...
291
00:10:14,442 --> 00:10:16,442
No, Lucious. Please.
292
00:10:16,495 --> 00:10:18,311
ANGELO: I appreciate that,
293
00:10:18,380 --> 00:10:19,335
but we're good.
294
00:10:19,469 --> 00:10:21,759
We have a spot secured
already, the kids are excited...
295
00:10:21,783 --> 00:10:23,143
Well, why don't I sweeten the deal
296
00:10:23,201 --> 00:10:26,119
and say Empire
underwrites the whole thing?
297
00:10:26,171 --> 00:10:28,204
Uh...
298
00:10:28,290 --> 00:10:29,455
Put me in an awkward...
299
00:10:29,541 --> 00:10:30,874
What do you think, kids?
300
00:10:30,959 --> 00:10:32,125
- KIDS: Yes!
- Well, okay.
301
00:10:32,210 --> 00:10:33,376
There you have it.
302
00:10:33,461 --> 00:10:34,627
It's a very,
303
00:10:34,713 --> 00:10:36,346
very generous offer, Lucious.
304
00:10:36,431 --> 00:10:37,825
- Thank you.
- Extremely generous, Dad.
305
00:10:37,849 --> 00:10:39,966
- What is this about?
- Look, why don't we
306
00:10:40,051 --> 00:10:42,468
stream this whole thing
live on Empire XStream?
307
00:10:42,554 --> 00:10:44,165
I mean, you've read about it
308
00:10:44,189 --> 00:10:46,200
and there's no better way of
getting your message out.
309
00:10:46,224 --> 00:10:48,024
Oh. Wow. You are truly an angel, sir.
310
00:10:48,109 --> 00:10:49,475
Appreciate this.
311
00:10:49,561 --> 00:10:51,861
Keep doing what you're doing with that.
312
00:10:51,947 --> 00:10:53,980
Oh, and by the way, tell
your mama about this
313
00:10:54,032 --> 00:10:56,316
so that she can
facilitate the music, all right?
314
00:10:58,537 --> 00:10:59,869

Don't worrabout Jamal. I got him.
380
00:13:13,826 --> 00:13:15,960
- What about your y J Poppa?
- He's ready to get back
381
00:13:15,995 --> 00:13:17,378
in the booth, so I lined up
382
00:13:17,463 --> 00:13:19,079
a buh of brand-new producers for him...
383
00:13:19,165 --> 00:13:21,582
Right, but isn't his
contract up with Empire?
384
00:13:21,667 --> 00:13:23,384
- Is he nna re-up?
- Obviously.
385
00:13:23,469 --> 00:13:25,469
He ain't going nowhere.
He's very happy here.
386
00:13:25,504 --> 00:13:28,422
But, uh, you know, y-you said
387
00:13:28,507 --> 00:13:30,391
that you wanted to talk to me about
388
00:13:30,476 --> 00:13:32,843
the A&R position, and I actually
have a lot of ideas,
389
00:13:32,895 --> 00:13:34,678
- and if lould...
- Wow, Becky,
390
00:13:34,764 --> 00:13:36,347
you look beautiful.
391
00:13:36,399 --> 00:13:37,765
Thank you.
392
00:13:37,850 --> 00:13:40,224
Hey, um, I got a gift.
393
00:13:40,346 --> 00:13:42,214
Don't worry, it's not for you.
394
00:13:42,238 --> 00:13:43,654
It's for Jamal.
395
00:13:43,689 --> 00:13:45,022
- Uh...
- Five minutes,
396
00:13:45,107 --> 00:13:46,523
that's it. Please.
397
00:13:46,575 --> 00:13:48,859
- Okay. I'll be back.
- Mm-hmm.
398
00:13:48,945 --> 00:13:51,245
I was thinking about, um...
399
00:13:51,330 --> 00:13:53,831
our son's little probl. And so I thought
400
00:13:53,866 --> 00:13:56,834
maybe if I got him a n
track... Sometimes a new track
401
00:13:56,869 --> 00:13:59,703
can make you feel
different about where you are.
402
00:13:59,789 --> 00:14:02,256
But I knew he wouldn't take it from me.
403
00:14:02,341 --> 00:14:05,042
But I thought you might
say it was from you.
404
00:14:33,155 --> 00:14:35,505
Jamal doesn't have a problem.
405
00:14:35,730 --> 00:14:37,675
- And I know what you're doing, Lucious.
- What am I doing?
406
00:14:37,699 --> 00:14:39,260

432
00:15:37,342 --> 00:15:39,342
changed my life.
433
00:15:39,377 --> 00:15:41,344
I knew right then
and there that I was...
434
00:15:41,379 --> 00:15:43,796
That you and I were
meant to be together.
435
00:15:43,882 --> 00:15:45,048
- See, that...
- That I...
436
00:15:45,133 --> 00:15:46,432
was meant to do music.
437
00:15:46,518 --> 00:15:49,135
No, we... you and I...
438
00:15:49,220 --> 00:15:51,187
Were meant to be making music together.
439
00:15:51,222 --> 00:15:53,556
Lucious, I need you to understand
440
00:15:53,642 --> 00:15:54,891
that I am done.
441
00:15:54,976 --> 00:15:57,060
- Okay?
- Oh, Cook, this is nothing.
442
00:15:57,145 --> 00:15:59,479
I mean, look at
everything we done been through.
443
00:15:59,564 --> 00:16:01,397
I mean, think about it.
444
00:16:01,483 --> 00:16:04,830
You remember the first
time I tried to out-dance you?
445
00:16:05,704 --> 00:16:07,820
No one could out-dance me back then.
446
00:16:08,990 --> 00:16:10,289
I will give Jamal the track
447
00:16:10,375 --> 00:16:12,041
and see if he's inspired.
448
00:16:12,077 --> 00:16:13,209
Thank you.
449
00:16:16,047 --> 00:16:17,580
You're not gonna wear me down, man.
450
00:16:17,666 --> 00:16:20,166
It's not gonna happen. Done.
451
00:16:26,274 --> 00:16:28,341
Where are you?
452
00:16:28,410 --> 00:16:30,510
Talk to me.
453
00:16:30,595 --> 00:16:32,261
I need your help.
454
00:16:32,347 --> 00:16:34,430
RHONDA: Sorry.
455
00:16:36,267 --> 00:16:39,352
Can't help you with those anymore.
456
00:16:42,741 --> 00:16:43,906
Where are you?
457
00:16:43,975 --> 00:16:45,942
Please.
458
00:16:46,027 --> 00:16:47,944
I-I need to see you.
459
00:16:48,029 --> 00:16:50,246
Where are you?!
460
00:16:50,281 --> 00:16:52,231
Where are you?
461
00:16:55,537 --> 00:16:57,136
Who you talking to?
462
00:17:00,308 --> 00:17:01,491
Rhonda.
463
00:17:04,596 --> 00:17:06,379
She's here?
464
00:17:09,217 --> 00:17:10,550
No.
465
00:17:12,353 --> 00:17:14,470
Oh, I just...
466
00:17:14,522 --> 00:17:16,556
I'm not gonna make it, Jamal.
467
00:17:20,061 --> 00:17:23,146
Oh, she-she managed all
of this. It's like this...
468
00:17:23,231 --> 00:17:26,563
It-it changes, it changes all the time.
469
00:17:26,565 --> 00:17:28,232
It changes all the
time. And she-she's...
470
00:17:28,362 --> 00:17:30,750
she kept track of it, you
know? She's-she took care of it
471
00:17:30,752 --> 00:17:31,716
for me, she's the one that did it all.
472
00:17:31,740 --> 00:17:33,768
- All right, well, I'll help
you with that. - No, she... I...
473
00:17:33,792 --> 00:17:34,991
It's all right, no, no, no.
474
00:17:35,076 --> 00:17:37,877
- I got...
- Hey, listen, Dre...
475
00:17:37,962 --> 00:17:39,579
I can help you with this.
476
00:17:39,664 --> 00:17:42,298
I-I can't ask you to do that, Jamal.
477
00:17:42,333 --> 00:17:44,934
- I'm not gonna...
- No, you can, actually. It's cool.
478
00:17:46,805 --> 00:17:48,304
Shoot, I'm trying to wean myself
479
00:17:48,339 --> 00:17:50,173
off these stupid pain meds anyway.
480
00:17:51,643 --> 00:17:54,177
I keep this chart.
481
00:17:54,229 --> 00:17:56,562
It just helps me keep
track of it, you know?
482
00:18:02,020 --> 00:18:04,854
I'm gonna keep your
chart, too, all right?
483
00:18:10,995 --> 00:18:13,529
Okay.
484
00:18:33,601 --> 00:18:34,851
Lucious!
485
00:18:40,892 --> 00:18:42,825
What's up, Cook?
486
00:18:42,894 --> 00:18:44,026
What are you doing?
487
00:18:44,095 --> 00:18:46,062
What do you mean?
488
00:18:46,114 --> 00:18:47,480
You know who that is?
489
00:18:47,565 --> 00:18:49,699
Yeah, that's Angelo Dubois, some
490
00:18:49,734 --> 00:18:51,067
petty government bureaucrat
491
00:18:51,152 --> 00:18:53,402
from some bougie-ass
Jack and Jill family.
492
00:18:53,488 --> 00:18:55,216
- What about it?
- What is wrong with you, Lucious?
493
00:18:55,240 --> 00:18:57,039
Last week you had a
FBI agent at the house,
494
00:18:57,075 --> 00:18:59,263
now you opening doors for
government officials?
495
00:18:59,483 --> 00:19:01,400
- Really?
- What are you talking about?
496
00:19:01,485 --> 00:19:04,152
I mean, Thirsty ran a
check on this dude. He had a DUI
497
00:19:04,221 --> 00:19:06,571
some 20 years ago.
498
00:19:06,657 --> 00:19:07,967
His family pulled
some strings and got him
499
00:19:07,991 --> 00:19:09,458
out of that. Other than that,
500
00:19:09,493 --> 00:19:12,077
he's as about as
square as a damn checkerboard.
501
00:19:12,162 --> 00:19:13,495
Now, I was under the impression
502
00:19:13,580 --> 00:19:15,497
that you wanted to do this summit thing.
503
00:19:15,582 --> 00:19:18,417
Mm. Is that what Jamal told you?
504
00:19:20,003 --> 00:19:21,837
Well, we both know why he's doing it,
505
00:19:21,889 --> 00:19:24,009
so let's just end the damn
cycle and get it over with.
506
00:19:24,091 --> 00:19:25,340
Hey...
507
00:19:25,392 --> 00:19:27,476
Off of me.
508
00:19:27,511 --> 00:19:29,885
Jamal's got a problem.
You know that, right?
509
00:19:30,015 --> 00:19:32,492
- What are you talking about, man?
- This whole "I want to end the cycle"
510
00:19:32,516 --> 00:19:34,483
is some BS to cover the fact that
511
00:19:34,518 --> 00:19:36,852
- that boy can't sing no more.
- JAMAL: Mom.
512
00:19:36,937 --> 00:19:39,938
You remember Angelo?
513
00:19:40,023 --> 00:19:41,773
Mr. Dubois, I really
514
00:19:41,859 --> 00:19:43,992
don't appreciate you exploiting
my son's situation
515
00:19:44,027 --> 00:19:46,027
- for your political tricknology.
- Oh, Lord.
516
00:19:46,113 --> 00:19:49,781
So we gonna do your
little summit, and then you're
517
00:19:49,867 --> 00:19:52,033
gonna stay the hell out of
our business, is that clear?
518
00:19:52,044 --> 00:19:54,013
I'm hoping you'll feel a
little, little differently
519
00:19:54,037 --> 00:19:55,203
once-once you get to know me.
520
00:19:55,289 --> 00:19:57,506
Oh, I know... I know you plenty.
521
00:19:57,541 --> 00:19:58,790
I know plenty of you.
522
00:19:58,876 --> 00:20:00,375
Yeah, with your with your
523
00:20:01,015 --> 00:20:01,938
high seditty talking ass
524
00:20:01,962 --> 00:20:04,763
with your little
summits and town hall meetings
525
00:20:04,848 --> 00:20:06,743
when you ain't doing
nothing but prching to the choir.
526
00:20:06,767 --> 00:20:08,027
What are you really teaching those kids?
527
00:20:08,051 --> 00:20:09,217
Oh, oh, those "victims,"
528
00:20:09,269 --> 00:20:10,719
like you keep calling 'em?
529
00:20:10,771 --> 00:20:12,888
- I think I'm being misunderst...
- Mr. Dubois,
530
00:20:12,940 --> 00:20:14,473
what you don't understand
531
00:20:14,558 --> 00:20:16,641
is those kids carry a pain
that people like you
532
00:20:16,727 --> 00:20:18,026
can't even begin to imagine.
533
00:20:18,061 --> 00:20:19,778
See, you ain't never
534
00:20:19,863 --> 00:20:21,980
had to overcome nothing, have you?
535
00:20:22,065 --> 00:20:24,983
Now, what do you think happens
to one of those kids
536
00:20:25,068 --> 00:20:26,952
if they get into some nonsense?
537
00:20:27,037 --> 00:20:28,580
You know, kids get into nonsense,
538
00:20:28,581 --> 00:20:30,550
but unlike you, they
don't have family connections
539
00:20:30,574 --> 00:20:32,791
to get them off a DUI scot-free.
540
00:20:32,876 --> 00:20:37,462
So who is going to give
them a second chance, huh? You?
541
00:20:38,632 --> 00:20:39,881
With your clean-shaven,
542
00:20:39,917 --> 00:20:41,833
slick-talking ass,
543
00:20:41,919 --> 00:20:45,637
acting all holier-than-thou,
could've killed somebody
544
00:20:45,722 --> 00:20:47,689
but didn't, got a slap on the wrist
545
00:20:47,758 --> 00:20:49,057
for drunk driving ass?
546
00:20:49,126 --> 00:20:50,308

to get my little rap

you decided to come out, I
would be able to spit something

I knew that you was this
634
00:24:21,284 --> 00:24:23,217
Catholic, studious girl...
635
00:24:23,303 --> 00:24:25,670

639
00:24:32,478 --> 00:24:34,095
That was me, all day long.
640
00:24:34,180 --> 00:24:36,897
And that's what I
was, and you knew that.
641
00:24:36,983 --> 00:24:38,566
You knew that was what I was about,
642
00:24:38,651 --> 00:24:40,518

running, you stuck around.
643
00:24:40,603 --> 00:24:42,236

I'm serious, Cookie.
646
00:24:46,693 --> 00:24:50,194
You saw me in those
streets and you knew...
647
00:24:50,280 --> 00:24:53,581
that that wasn't my destiny.
648
00:24:53,666 --> 00:24:56,000

lost more than you.

I mean, after I met your grandmother,
657
00:25:28,401 --> 00:25:31,569

And I admire you even more.
658

all you've accomplished.

Didn't nobody have no summits

671

You figured it out all on your own.
672

You fought your way out
of the hood, baby,
673
00:26:07,357 --> 00:26:10,975
you got yourself into
Wharton. You did that.
674

675
00:26:13,112 --> 00:26:15,746
Against everything this
world throws at black people,
676
00:26:15,782 --> 00:26:19,700
you fought your way out.
677
00:26:19,769 --> 00:26:22,169
Keep fighting.

00:26:22,255 --> 00:26:25,873

00:26:41,974 --> 00:26:44,558
Okay. Okay.
686
00:26:49,632 --> 00:26:52,149
See, on the trill I was
thinking I come back right here,
687
00:26:52,235 --> 00:26:54,201
drop some ad-libs for a bar, man.
688
00:26:54,287 --> 00:26:56,320
Okay, yeah. I say do it for two bars...
689
00:26:56,406 --> 00:26:58,246
It's gonna build the anticipation
for the hook,
690
00:26:58,324 --> 00:26:59,874
and that's gonna make it hard.
691
00:26:59,959 --> 00:27:01,158
Yeah, I agree.
692
00:27:01,244 --> 00:27:02,827
- It needs to come harder.
- Yeah.
693
00:27:02,912 --> 00:27:04,606
Or maybe we drop everything
694
00:27:04,630 --> 00:27:06,297
and keep the bass line.
695
00:27:06,332 --> 00:27:08,332
- Yeah?
- SHINE: Yeah.
696
00:27:08,418 --> 00:27:10,384
Yeah, I think you're on to something.
697
00:27:10,470 --> 00:27:11,802
All right, then.
698
00:27:11,838 --> 00:27:13,804
Hey, stand up for me, homie.
699
00:27:13,840 --> 00:27:15,423

00:27:20,680 --> 00:27:22,596
lookin' at my sister like that.
702
00:27:25,685 --> 00:27:27,601
Think I'm playing?
703
00:27:27,687 --> 00:27:29,386
He'll be all right.
704
00:27:29,455 --> 00:27:31,071
Okay...

00:27:31,157 --> 00:27:33,457

ANGELO: Yes.
731
00:28:34,557 --> 00:28:36,440
Yes, yes.
732
00:28:36,526 --> 00:28:39,393
Thank you, young Zeah.
733
00:28:41,648 --> 00:28:43,397
And now let me introduce to you
734
00:28:43,483 --> 00:28:45,566
our guest of honor.
735
00:28:45,652 --> 00:28:47,485
Jamal Lyon.
736
00:28:53,109 --> 00:28:54,709
He himself a victim...
737
00:28:59,048 --> 00:29:01,132
Excuse me.
738
00:29:01,217 --> 00:29:03,985
I'm going to replace the word "victim"
739
00:29:04,053 --> 00:29:05,920
- with "survivor."
- Yes.
740
00:29:06,005 --> 00:29:08,055
Yes, survivor.
741
00:29:08,091 --> 00:29:09,390
Jamal Lyon,
742
00:29:09,459 --> 00:29:12,059
he himself a survivor of gun violence.
743
00:29:12,095 --> 00:29:13,394
You see, these young men...
744
00:29:13,463 --> 00:29:15,479
Look, I know he get on your nerves,
745
00:29:15,548 --> 00:29:17,114
but he is fine.
746
00:29:17,183 --> 00:29:18,827
ANGELO: ...they all come
from a place where violence
747
00:29:18,851 --> 00:29:20,568
is a natural go-to.
748
00:29:20,603 --> 00:29:23,654
But our goal is not to save the world.
749
00:29:23,723 --> 00:29:28,009
Our goal is to pull
them upwards from violence
750
00:29:28,077 --> 00:29:30,578
and move them onward to success.
751
00:29:32,448 --> 00:29:34,999
That was good, though, wasn't it?
752
00:29:35,084 --> 00:29:36,917
Look, you look full, don't you?
753
00:29:40,456 --> 00:29:42,290
Hey, man, here you go.
754
00:29:42,375 --> 00:29:43,674
Thank you, thank you, man!
755
00:29:43,760 --> 00:29:46,093
Uh-uh, I'm keeping mine.
756
00:29:46,129 --> 00:29:48,679
Candace would kill me if I didn't
save her some crab legs.
757
00:29:48,765 --> 00:29:51,132
Most of 'em are crackheads anyway.
758
00:29:51,217 --> 00:29:52,800
Well, maybe they wouldn't be if someone
759
00:29:52,885 --> 00:29:55,019
had shared their
crab legs a little sooner.
760
00:29:55,104 --> 00:29:58,389
What are you, Mr. Save-the-World now?
761
00:29:58,474 --> 00:29:59,690
With you by my side.
762
00:29:59,776 --> 00:30:01,892
By the time you finish up at Howard,
763
00:30:01,978 --> 00:30:03,527
I'll be getting out of med school
764
00:30:03,613 --> 00:30:05,029
and I can set up a practice
765
00:30:05,114 --> 00:30:08,616
in King of Prussia.
766
00:30:08,651 --> 00:30:10,234
All right, forget King of Prussia...
767
00:30:10,320 --> 00:30:13,988
Look, Barry, stop.
768
00:30:14,073 --> 00:30:16,874
I'm-a be honest, a'ight?
769
00:30:16,959 --> 00:30:20,411
At some point, I want
the house and the kids
770
00:30:20,496 --> 00:30:22,224
and all that stuff
that you say, but right now?
771
00:30:22,248 --> 00:30:23,998
I don't know what I want
772
00:30:24,083 --> 00:30:27,168
except I know it's got something
to do with music.
773
00:30:27,253 --> 00:30:28,919
And I don't want to feel locked down
774
00:30:29,005 --> 00:30:30,421
before I even give it a shot.
775
00:30:30,506 --> 00:30:34,258
Ya'mean?
776
00:30:34,344 --> 00:30:36,510
I understand, Loretha.
777
00:30:36,596 --> 00:30:38,312
It's your life.
778
00:30:38,348 --> 00:30:41,349
You won't get a second
chance to live it the way you want.
779
00:30:44,520 --> 00:30:45,820
ANGELO: Now, yesterday
780
00:30:45,855 --> 00:30:48,856
I got chin-checked by
a remarkable woman
781
00:30:48,941 --> 00:30:51,075
who taught me the difference
782
00:30:51,160 --> 00:30:53,811
between being a victim of circumstance
783
00:30:53,880 --> 00:30:56,580
and a survivor of immeasurable pain.
784
00:30:56,666 --> 00:30:58,449
I have a feeling
785
00:30:58,534 --> 00:31:00,568
I'll be thanking her over and over
786
00:31:00,636 --> 00:31:04,088
and over for that insight.
787
00:31:04,173 --> 00:31:06,207
Now I'd like to bring up here onstage
788
00:31:06,292 --> 00:31:08,709
a man who is a new friend of WOKE.
789
00:31:08,795 --> 00:31:11,879
The incredible Lucious Lyon.
790
00:31:22,141 --> 00:31:24,458
Thank you, Angelo.
791
00:31:26,646 --> 00:31:29,063
I'm very proud of these
young men and women here.
792
00:31:29,148 --> 00:31:31,682
You guys represent our future.
793
00:31:31,751 --> 00:31:35,453
And we are looking to
you to be great leaders.
794
00:31:35,538 --> 00:31:37,154
I have my son here.
795
00:31:37,240 --> 00:31:38,656
And as you all know,
796
00:31:38,741 --> 00:31:41,325
he almost lost his life
797
00:31:41,411 --> 00:31:42,993
trying to save my own.
798
00:31:50,336 --> 00:31:53,704
Now I know we all want to get
to the talking part of this summit,
799
00:31:53,773 --> 00:31:55,339
but before we do that,
800
00:31:55,425 --> 00:31:57,475
why don't we take a moment
801
00:31:57,543 --> 00:31:59,677
and have Jamal Lyon
802
00:31:59,762 --> 00:32:01,779
come up here and do a song,
803
00:32:01,848 --> 00:32:04,398
'cause he has not performed
since that event at the ASAs.
804
00:32:04,434 --> 00:32:05,649
And I think this would be
805
00:32:05,735 --> 00:32:08,152
a most fitting moment for him.
806
00:32:14,861 --> 00:32:15,993
Jamal. Jamal.
807
00:32:16,078 --> 00:32:17,244
Jamal.
808
00:32:17,280 --> 00:32:20,030
Jamal. Jamal. Jamal.
809
00:32:20,116 --> 00:32:21,282
ALL : Jamal! Jamal!
810
00:32:21,367 --> 00:32:24,034
Jamal! Jamal! Jamal! Jamal!
811
00:32:24,120 --> 00:32:28,088
Jamal! Jamal! Jamal! Jamal! Jamal! Jamal!
812
00:32:28,124 --> 00:32:30,508
Jamal! Jamal! Jamal!
813
00:32:30,593 --> 00:32:33,694
Jamal! Jamal! Jamal! Jamal!
814
00:32:33,763 --> 00:32:36,931
Jamal! Jamal! Jamal! Jamal!
815
00:32:36,966 --> 00:32:39,433
Jamal! Jamal! Jamal! Jamal!
816
00:32:59,989 --> 00:33:01,956
Jamal.
817
00:33:01,991 --> 00:33:03,207
What are you doing?
818
00:33:03,292 --> 00:33:04,408
Huh?
819
00:33:04,494 --> 00:33:05,709
What's going on?
820
00:33:07,498 --> 00:33:08,774
What the hell is wrong with you?
821
00:33:08,798 --> 00:33:10,498
What he need to do
822
00:33:10,583 --> 00:33:12,166
is get his ass on that stage.
823
00:33:12,251 --> 00:33:13,300
'Cause the only way
824
00:33:13,336 --> 00:33:15,302
to deal with a problem, boy,
825
00:33:15,338 --> 00:33:16,921
is to deal with a problem.
826
00:33:17,006 --> 00:33:18,233
- It keeps happening.
- Shh, all right.
827
00:33:18,257 --> 00:33:19,623
It keeps happening.
828
00:33:19,692 --> 00:33:20,986
You really starting to bore me, boy.
829
00:33:21,010 --> 00:33:22,226
I'm scared, all right?!
830
00:33:22,311 --> 00:33:23,431
That's what you want, right?
831
00:33:27,030 --> 00:33:29,244
Well, yeah, I got a, I got
a pro... I got a problem
832
00:33:29,268 --> 00:33:30,601
and I...
833
00:33:30,686 --> 00:33:32,436
can't get onstage.
834
00:33:34,524 --> 00:33:36,490
I can't... I can't do it no more.
835
00:33:50,669 --> 00:33:51,851
Yeah!
836
00:33:54,005 --> 00:33:55,455
You were right.
837
00:33:55,540 --> 00:33:57,173
Jamal has a problem.
838
00:33:57,259 --> 00:33:59,209
So, what we gonna do to fix?
839
00:33:59,294 --> 00:34:01,010
I don't think
840
00:34:01,046 --> 00:34:02,607
this is something you need
to be smiling about.
841
00:34:02,631 --> 00:34:04,881
Well, you said the magic word.
842
00:34:04,966 --> 00:34:07,617
It's "we."
843
00:34:08,359 --> 00:34:10,192
I mean, that's how it's always be,
844
00:34:10,277 --> 00:34:11,610
Luous and Cookie, you know?
845
00:34:11,645 --> 00:34:12,561

846
00:34:12,646 --> 00:34:14,446

847
00:34:14,482 --> 00:34:16,115
us versus everyby else.
848
00:34:16,183 --> 00:34:17,483
Excusey interruption.
849
00:34:17,535 --> 00:34:18,984
I'm sorry.
850
00:34:19,070 --> 00:34:21,120
I just wanted to tnk you bot for today.
851
00:34:21,155 --> 00:34:23,622
We couldn't have done without
both of your support.
852
00:34:23,657 --> 00:34:25,958
You kn, a lot of these kids,
they come from broken homes.
853
00:34:25,993 --> 00:34:28,377
You know, uh, divorce, separation...
854
00:34:29,135 --> 00:34:30,968
Some parts never even...
855
00:34:31,004 --> 00:34:32,398
...were together in the first place.
856
00:34:32,422 --> 00:34:34,422
So it just means a lot
857
00:34:34,507 --> 00:34:35,973

858
00:34:36,009 --> 00:34:38,092

It's truly amazing.
861
00:34:41,347 --> 00:34:42,847
Black love. It's beautiful.
862
00:34:42,899 --> 00:34:44,315
"Bck love..."
863
00:34:44,350 --> 00:34:45,683
Tell me something, Councilman.
864
00:34:45,769 --> 00:34:46,901
Sir.
865
00:34:47,659 --> 00:34:49,860
- Are you from a "broken family"?
- No.
866
00:34:49,912 --> 00:34:51,077
No, not at all.
867
00:34:51,163 --> 00:34:52,779

874
00:35:06,962 --> 00:35:08,211
Ms. Lyon...

878
00:35:13,051 --> 00:35:14,384
and speak to the young women.
879
00:35:14,470 --> 00:35:15,719
I think they'd, uh,
880
00:35:15,771 --> 00:35:17,552
they'd get a kick out of that.
881
00:35:17,676 --> 00:35:19,656
- Well, you should invite me over.
- I will. I will, then, Cookie.
882
00:35:20,398 --> 00:35:22,131
- Yes.
- Lucious...
883
00:35:22,200 --> 00:35:24,733
Thanks again, man.
884
00:35:27,788 --> 00:35:30,573
I think you had it right the first time.
885
00:35:30,625 --> 00:35:32,408
It's Mr. Lyon.
886
00:35:46,641 --> 00:35:47,840
Mmm...
887
00:35:49,227 --> 00:35:50,643
You scare me!
888
00:35:50,678 --> 00:35:51,927
I got good news.
889
00:35:54,932 --> 00:35:56,148
Good news?
890
00:35:56,234 --> 00:35:57,399
I love good news. Tell me.
891
00:35:57,435 --> 00:35:59,151
I'm leaving Empire.
892
00:36:00,855 --> 00:36:02,188
How is that good news?
893
00:36:02,273 --> 00:36:03,939
'Cause I got a offer from Vaughn.
894
00:36:05,526 --> 00:36:07,409
Hell, Lucious just had him at the house.
895
00:36:07,445 --> 00:36:08,911
He's a snake. What's the offer?
896
00:36:08,946 --> 00:36:12,081
Yo, it's a hell of an offer, Beck.
897
00:36:12,116 --> 00:36:13,449
And the best part about it...
898
00:36:13,501 --> 00:36:15,784
I negotiated for you to come with me.
899
00:36:15,836 --> 00:36:17,920
Who asked you to do that?
900
00:36:17,955 --> 00:36:19,772
Lucious and Cookie make
you head of A&R yet?
901
00:36:19,840 --> 00:36:21,590
We are talking about it.
902
00:36:22,910 --> 00:36:25,377
The word on the street...
903
00:36:25,463 --> 00:36:27,213
is that they're looking r somebody new.
904
00:36:29,350 --> 00:36:31,300
It's time for you to bail, mama.
905
00:36:31,385 --> 00:36:33,469
You need to be
somewhere where you appreciated.
906
00:36:35,189 --> 00:36:38,724
And we make a dope-ass
team, Becky with the Good Hair.
907
00:36:38,809 --> 00:36:40,976
That's real talk.
908
00:36:41,028 --> 00:36:42,611
You know, Lucious gave me a job
909
00:36:42,647 --> 00:36:44,313
when no one else would even talk to me.
910
00:36:44,365 --> 00:36:46,148
That's real talk. I'm
not doing this thing.
911
00:36:46,200 --> 00:36:48,150
Come on, this place is
going down in flames,
912
00:36:48,202 --> 00:36:50,069
- you know that.
- What are you talking about?
913
00:36:50,154 --> 00:36:52,394
We got hits across the
board. You sound stupid right now.
914
00:36:53,129 --> 00:36:54,545
I'm not talking about music!
915
00:36:54,631 --> 00:36:55,997
The feds is gonna come
916
00:36:56,082 --> 00:36:57,476
and they're gonna
start knocking the doors
917
00:36:57,500 --> 00:36:59,133
all down and around this place.
918
00:36:59,169 --> 00:37:00,385
I love you, okay?
919
00:37:00,470 --> 00:37:01,920
I love you.
920
00:37:02,005 --> 00:37:03,588
But I'm not letting my career
921
00:37:03,673 --> 00:37:05,473
go down with this building.
922
00:37:05,508 --> 00:37:07,342
And you shouldn't either.
923
00:37:17,821 --> 00:37:19,701
Not sure you should be mixing
those with Scotch.
924
00:37:21,408 --> 00:37:23,191
I sure am doing it tonight, though.
925
00:37:26,746 --> 00:37:28,529
Been lying to myself, y'all, 'cause...
926
00:37:30,767 --> 00:37:33,368
Walking around, acting
like everything's cool,
927
00:37:33,420 --> 00:37:34,585
just managing a little pain,
928
00:37:34,671 --> 00:37:36,704
but...
929
00:37:36,756 --> 00:37:39,207
When I was up on the stage
at the Empire XStream event,
930
00:37:39,292 --> 00:37:42,927
I could see the lights
just flashing, flashing...
931
00:37:45,382 --> 00:37:46,547
And then Freda.
932
00:37:50,804 --> 00:37:52,387
It was wack.
933
00:37:52,439 --> 00:37:54,522
PTSD.
934
00:37:54,557 --> 00:37:55,923
Man...
935
00:37:55,992 --> 00:37:57,709
everybody messed up.
936
00:37:57,777 --> 00:38:01,062
Ain't nobody as messed up as
the Lyon brothers, I'm sorry.
937
00:38:03,083 --> 00:38:05,366
But you know what we
got that nobody else does?
938
00:38:06,536 --> 00:38:07,735
We got each other.
939
00:38:09,739 --> 00:38:11,406
So heris how we win.
940
00:38:11,491 --> 00:38:13,708
Jamal... you gonna beat this.
941
00:38:14,778 --> 00:38:16,077
Say it.
942
00:38:16,129 --> 00:38:17,495
I'm gonna beat this.
943
00:38:17,580 --> 00:38:18,858
Say it like you mean it. Come on, man.
944
00:38:18,882 --> 00:38:20,048
I'm gonna beat this.
945
00:38:20,083 --> 00:38:21,516
You're back on stage in no time.
946
00:38:21,584 --> 00:38:22,884
Hakeem...
947
00:38:24,254 --> 00:38:26,637
...you're a father.
948
00:38:26,723 --> 00:38:28,589
First of the Lyon sons.
949
00:38:30,760 --> 00:38:32,226
If you're ready to step up,
950
00:38:32,262 --> 00:38:34,228
we got your back.
951
00:38:34,264 --> 00:38:35,646
You ready?
952
00:38:35,732 --> 00:38:37,398
I'm ready.
953
00:38:37,434 --> 00:38:38,599
ANDRE: Say it again.
954
00:38:38,685 --> 00:38:40,151
I'm ready.
955
00:38:40,236 --> 00:38:41,769
Say it like a man, son. You ready?
956
00:38:41,855 --> 00:38:43,438
- I'm ready.
- Yeah, my man.
957
00:38:43,523 --> 00:38:44,856
To Baby Bella.
958
00:38:44,941 --> 00:38:46,157
To Bella.
959
00:38:46,242 --> 00:38:48,242
To my daughter.
960
00:38:48,278 --> 00:38:50,161
To Ma.
961
00:38:53,033 --> 00:38:54,198
Mm-hmm, mm-hmm.
962
00:38:54,284 --> 00:38:55,450
Ah...
963
00:38:57,620 --> 00:38:58,953
HAKEEM: What about you, Dre?
964
00:39:04,094 --> 00:39:05,259
Rhonda.
965
00:39:07,130 --> 00:39:08,713
I gotta get her out of my head.
966
00:39:10,050 --> 00:39:11,849
So tomorrow,
967
00:39:11,935 --> 00:39:13,684
I'm gonna go to our old place
968
00:39:13,770 --> 00:39:16,604
and I'm grabbing the last of my stuff.
969
00:39:38,044 --> 00:39:40,078
♪ And you said he's just a friend ♪
970
00:39:40,163 --> 00:39:42,663
♪ And you said he's just a friend ♪
971
00:39:42,749 --> 00:39:44,882
- ♪ Oh, baby... ♪
- How many times I got to tell you
972
00:39:44,968 --> 00:39:46,751
to stay away from that boy?
973
00:39:46,836 --> 00:39:48,147
But, Ma, you said he's my brother.
974
00:39:48,171 --> 00:39:49,337
Tariq, you listen to me.
975
00:39:49,422 --> 00:39:51,722
You do not ever, ever
976
00:39:51,808 --> 00:39:55,059
say that out loud again, not to anybody.
977
00:39:55,145 --> 00:39:56,677
Least of all to him.
978
00:39:56,729 --> 00:39:59,347
He may be your half brother,
979
00:39:59,432 --> 00:40:00,598
but he is not your friend.
980
00:40:00,683 --> 00:40:03,401
Him and his crazy-ass mama
981
00:40:03,486 --> 00:40:05,353
are the worst thing that
ever happened to us.
982
00:41:22,348 --> 00:41:25,466
You know what I was thinking?
983
00:41:25,535 --> 00:41:28,603
We got all these beautiful
stuffed animals
984
00:41:28,688 --> 00:41:31,272
for our little girl.
985
00:41:31,357 --> 00:41:33,791
What in the world are we doing with
986
00:41:33,860 --> 00:41:35,409
this thirsty-looking bear?
987
00:41:41,201 --> 00:41:44,785
Let's get Bella something
more befitting a princess.
988
00:42:09,445 --> 00:42:10,695
Hey, Officer.
989
00:42:10,780 --> 00:42:12,396
Step away from the car.
990
00:42:12,482 --> 00:42:13,981
Oh, no. No, sir, I live right there.
991
00:42:14,033 --> 00:42:15,199
I mean I, uh,
992
00:42:15,285 --> 00:42:16,517
I used to live right there.
993
00:42:16,586 --> 00:42:18,653
Lot of break-ins in this neighborhood.
994
00:42:18,738 --> 00:42:19,987
You know anything about that?
995
00:42:26,004 --> 00:42:28,107
No, Officer, I don't
know anything about that.
996
00:42:28,131 --> 00:42:29,747
Why would I know anything about that?
997
00:42:29,832 --> 00:42:31,832
What are you doing around
here? Like I told you,
998
00:42:31,918 --> 00:42:33,384
I used to live right there.
999
00:42:33,469 --> 00:42:35,586
Got any ID on you, yo?
1000
00:42:40,510 --> 00:42:42,893
My wallet's in my car...
1001
00:42:42,979 --> 00:42:44,345
yo.
1002
00:42:45,187 --> 00:42:46,825
Oh, so you're a smartass, then.
1003
00:42:46,849 --> 00:42:48,099
Huh. Smartass, okay.
1004
00:42:48,184 --> 00:42:49,878
- I'm moving, okay? I'm moving.
- Hands on the vehicle.
1005
00:42:49,902 --> 00:42:51,497
- I don't have time for this.
- Hey... would you listen to me?
1006
00:42:51,521 --> 00:42:53,020
Get your hands off me, man!
1007
00:42:54,274 --> 00:42:55,690
- Hands behind your back!
- Ah!
1008
00:42:55,775 --> 00:42:57,358
Stop resisting!
1009
00:42:57,443 --> 00:43:00,244
You have the right to
remain silent. Anything you say...
1010
00:43:02,165 --> 00:43:03,264
You're resisting, boy.
1011
00:43:03,316 --> 00:43:06,267
Anything you say can and
will be used against you.
