Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:03,057
- Previously on Empire...
- I broke the law for your ass!
2
00:00:03,058 --> 00:00:05,326
The illegal handgun!
The parole violation!
3
00:00:05,327 --> 00:00:07,795
- Angelo. -...that you still have
feelings for that greasy...
4
00:00:07,796 --> 00:00:08,863
Hot mic, baby!
5
00:00:08,864 --> 00:00:10,164
You saved my life.
6
00:00:10,165 --> 00:00:13,434
That is why I'm fighting
so hard to get you back.
7
00:00:13,435 --> 00:00:15,336
While Lucious continues his sabbatical,
8
00:00:15,337 --> 00:00:17,271
we will produce a new
album for every year
9
00:00:17,272 --> 00:00:18,939
we have been in operation.
10
00:00:18,940 --> 00:00:22,643
Detective Pamela Rose.
I'm the NYPD liaison.
11
00:00:22,644 --> 00:00:25,246
- You trying to set me up?
- No. I didn't even know who you were.
12
00:00:25,247 --> 00:00:27,314
- So it was a coincidence.
- THIRSTY: Mrs. Calhoun
13
00:00:27,315 --> 00:00:30,184
has been afraid to come forward
because she fears for her life.
14
00:00:30,185 --> 00:00:32,886
There's not a jury in the world
that will find her guilty.
15
00:00:40,562 --> 00:00:42,863
Well, there he is. Looking good.
16
00:00:42,864 --> 00:00:45,633
Exercising while Claudia has a day off.
17
00:00:45,634 --> 00:00:47,201
(panting): Claudia...
18
00:00:47,202 --> 00:00:50,104
prescribed that I do this
for 30 minutes a day.
19
00:00:50,105 --> 00:00:52,039
I've already knocked out 45.
20
00:00:52,040 --> 00:00:53,974
That is excellent. Yeah, we're all here
21
00:00:53,975 --> 00:00:56,744
to support you and help you with
your rehab while she's gone.
22
00:00:56,745 --> 00:00:59,713
She left us an extensive list.
Believe that.
23
00:00:59,714 --> 00:01:01,849
Yeah, how's the, uh, leg, Pop?
24
00:01:01,850 --> 00:01:03,651
It's getting strong, son.
25
00:01:03,652 --> 00:01:04,985
Looking good, Dad.
26
00:01:04,986 --> 00:01:06,620
Thank you.
27
00:01:06,621 --> 00:01:09,156
Who's really looking good
is your mother.
28
00:01:09,157 --> 00:01:11,559
You're looking especially lovely today.
29
00:01:11,560 --> 00:01:13,127
(laughing): Oh.
30
00:01:13,128 --> 00:01:14,728
Well, I have a photo shoot.
31
00:01:14,729 --> 00:01:16,297
Ma just made Forbes magazine's
32
00:01:16,298 --> 00:01:17,998
100 Most Powerful Women in Business.
33
00:01:17,999 --> 00:01:20,834
Just pictures in magazines, y'all.
34
00:01:20,835 --> 00:01:22,570
Uh-uh, don't sell yourself
short. You should own it, Ma.
35
00:01:22,571 --> 00:01:24,371
Yeah, well, while I'm taking
pretty pictures,
36
00:01:24,372 --> 00:01:27,007
I need to be getting
20 For 20 on its feet.
37
00:01:27,008 --> 00:01:29,410
LUCIOUS: Well, congratulations
38
00:01:29,411 --> 00:01:31,145
- with Forbes.
- Thank you.
39
00:01:31,146 --> 00:01:33,247
But what I think y'all need to...
40
00:01:33,248 --> 00:01:37,551
y'all see that, I did a
conjugation of "you" and "all"?
41
00:01:37,552 --> 00:01:39,753
Like Lucious.
42
00:01:39,754 --> 00:01:42,056
What I need you guys to do
43
00:01:42,057 --> 00:01:45,359
is to stop tiptoeing around me.
44
00:01:45,360 --> 00:01:48,762
If I'm gonna get any better,
I need you guys...
45
00:01:48,763 --> 00:01:52,333
Leah said that I was a m...
46
00:01:52,334 --> 00:01:53,734
said I was a monster,
47
00:01:53,735 --> 00:01:55,669
so I need to know what I did
48
00:01:55,670 --> 00:01:58,706
to each of you individually that
made you guys call me a monster.
49
00:01:58,707 --> 00:02:00,641
COOKIE: No.
50
00:02:00,642 --> 00:02:02,676
No. We're not gonna do this
right now, Lucious.
51
00:02:02,677 --> 00:02:04,044
You need to finish your rehab.
52
00:02:04,045 --> 00:02:05,746
You're doing so good.
53
00:02:05,747 --> 00:02:07,214
Well, you punched me in the face.
54
00:02:07,215 --> 00:02:08,616
One shot, square.
55
00:02:08,617 --> 00:02:11,585
I'm so sorry, but I mean...
56
00:02:11,586 --> 00:02:13,954
why would I punch you in the face?
57
00:02:13,955 --> 00:02:15,889
Mm-mm.
58
00:02:15,890 --> 00:02:17,324
Jamal.
59
00:02:19,527 --> 00:02:21,528
(laughs softly)
60
00:02:21,529 --> 00:02:24,398
I mean, Dad, it's not
gonna help anything.
61
00:02:24,399 --> 00:02:25,933
It's gonna help me.
62
00:02:25,934 --> 00:02:28,068
- Tell him the trash can story.
- Hakeem, shut up.
63
00:02:28,069 --> 00:02:30,671
No, boy, we are not doing that.
64
00:02:32,407 --> 00:02:36,210
Look, okay, Cookie,
you keep saying, uh,
65
00:02:36,211 --> 00:02:39,079
you were gone for 17 years.
66
00:02:39,080 --> 00:02:40,748
Why'd you leave?
67
00:02:49,891 --> 00:02:52,659
I-I got to go to work.
68
00:02:56,498 --> 00:03:02,356
Subtitle sync and corrections by
awaqeded for www.addic7ed.com.
69
00:03:08,184 --> 00:03:11,920
Just think of it as an
inverse Wizard of Oz,
70
00:03:11,921 --> 00:03:13,584
and the Lyon brothers
71
00:03:13,585 --> 00:03:16,871
are the Scarecrow, the Tin
Man and the Cowardly Lion.
72
00:03:17,619 --> 00:03:21,740
We will deprive each of the
thing he cherishes most.
73
00:03:21,741 --> 00:03:24,342
I'm assuming Andre is the Scarecrow.
74
00:03:24,343 --> 00:03:26,845
And his brain is his
most prized possession,
75
00:03:26,846 --> 00:03:30,515
so your charge, Lana,
is to disabuse him of it.
76
00:03:30,516 --> 00:03:31,983
Hmm.
77
00:03:31,984 --> 00:03:34,352
Well, as for the Tin Man,
78
00:03:34,353 --> 00:03:37,756
I think I finally got him
to open up his heart.
79
00:03:37,757 --> 00:03:41,526
Yes. I am going to enjoy
watching Miss Cookie
80
00:03:41,527 --> 00:03:46,097
stand helplessly by
as you snatch it from his chest.
81
00:03:46,098 --> 00:03:49,200
Good job. I'll meet
with Hakeem later today.
82
00:03:49,201 --> 00:03:53,371
Oh, he so aptly fits the role
of the Cowardly Lion.
83
00:03:53,372 --> 00:03:55,707
Now, what's left for me to do?
84
00:03:55,708 --> 00:03:57,108
Take out Toto?
85
00:03:57,109 --> 00:03:59,344
(laughs)
86
00:03:59,345 --> 00:04:00,512
(mumbling): Take out...
87
00:04:02,148 --> 00:04:03,782
Angelo, you are drunk.
88
00:04:04,717 --> 00:04:08,753
Well... least I ain't no whore.
89
00:04:08,754 --> 00:04:10,188
You little slut.
90
00:04:10,189 --> 00:04:11,389
(scoffs)
91
00:04:11,390 --> 00:04:13,525
You know, Scotch and jealousy
92
00:04:13,526 --> 00:04:16,061
are making you show your ass, Angelo.
93
00:04:16,062 --> 00:04:17,596
It's pretty, ain't it?
94
00:04:17,597 --> 00:04:19,598
You know what?
Maybe I need to kick yours
95
00:04:19,599 --> 00:04:21,700
- back to San Diego wh...
- That's enough.
96
00:04:21,701 --> 00:04:23,902
- Mama.
- It is time for you to put
97
00:04:23,903 --> 00:04:26,905
this floundering self-pity to rest.
98
00:04:26,906 --> 00:04:29,174
You are responsible
for this family's involvement
99
00:04:29,175 --> 00:04:30,742
with these loathsome creatures.
100
00:04:30,743 --> 00:04:32,477
So get a grip, Angelo.
101
00:04:32,478 --> 00:04:36,081
Find a place in the universe
and create a role for yourself.
102
00:04:41,554 --> 00:04:42,921
♪
103
00:04:42,922 --> 00:04:44,122
PHOTOGRAPHER: Oh.
104
00:04:44,123 --> 00:04:45,423
Good.
105
00:04:45,424 --> 00:04:47,792
Okay. Perfect.
106
00:04:47,793 --> 00:04:49,160
Now let's get you in the chair.
107
00:04:49,161 --> 00:04:50,996
Uh...
108
00:04:50,997 --> 00:04:52,797
N... That's Lucious' chair.
109
00:04:52,798 --> 00:04:55,500
Empire is the hottest company
in the entertainment space,
110
00:04:55,501 --> 00:04:57,268
and you are the shooting star.
111
00:04:57,269 --> 00:04:59,738
Revel in it, girl, you belong here.
112
00:05:12,018 --> 00:05:13,652
Ah, perfect.
113
00:05:13,653 --> 00:05:15,654
Okay. Now let's get a profile.
114
00:05:15,655 --> 00:05:16,888
Turn to your left.
115
00:05:19,859 --> 00:05:22,360
WOMAN: Turn to the left.
116
00:05:27,600 --> 00:05:29,534
(camera shutter clicks)
117
00:05:29,535 --> 00:05:31,836
Uh, I'm sorry, I have a meeting.
118
00:05:31,837 --> 00:05:33,705
Oh. You got an empire to run.
119
00:05:33,706 --> 00:05:36,041
- What? -We'll see you later
with the other Power Women.
120
00:05:36,042 --> 00:05:37,575
Okay.
121
00:05:38,644 --> 00:05:40,679
Ah, Cookie,
these are gonna be fabulous.
122
00:05:40,680 --> 00:05:43,848
- Great. -So, after your meeting,
you go to the bank, right?
123
00:05:43,849 --> 00:05:46,151
- Mm-hmm. -'Cause 20 For 20
might've got you into Forbes,
124
00:05:46,152 --> 00:05:48,486
but when you sign for that
$100 million line of credit,
125
00:05:48,487 --> 00:05:49,756
we'll have the
horsepower to pay for it.
126
00:05:49,757 --> 00:05:51,556
(sighs) I don't understand
127
00:05:51,557 --> 00:05:53,591
why we have to take out
a loan when we're loaded.
128
00:05:53,592 --> 00:05:54,993
Yeah, loaded, not liquid.
129
00:05:54,994 --> 00:05:56,394
The board will never approve of us
130
00:05:56,395 --> 00:05:58,630
spending our own money, Ma.
131
00:05:58,631 --> 00:06:00,832
Now, don't worry,
I know my way around bankers.
132
00:06:00,833 --> 00:06:03,334
You just follow my lead.
133
00:06:03,335 --> 00:06:05,436
Yeah, yeah.
134
00:06:07,273 --> 00:06:09,240
(piano playing)
135
00:06:09,241 --> 00:06:10,508
JAMAL: Come here, Dad.
136
00:06:11,477 --> 00:06:13,712
Man, check this out.
137
00:06:13,713 --> 00:06:17,615
This is a song that you
and me wrote together.
138
00:06:17,616 --> 00:06:19,250
When?
139
00:06:19,251 --> 00:06:20,685
When? Well, like a year ago.
140
00:06:20,686 --> 00:06:22,187
(piano playing)
141
00:06:32,698 --> 00:06:36,034
That's really nice.
142
00:06:36,035 --> 00:06:38,203
- (piano stops)
- See, I find this whole songwriting thing
143
00:06:38,204 --> 00:06:40,238
so fascinating.
I mean, how does it happen?
144
00:06:40,239 --> 00:06:42,607
Do you just, you know,
sit down at the piano,
145
00:06:42,608 --> 00:06:45,944
- and it just happen, or you...?
- I mean, sometimes.
146
00:06:45,945 --> 00:06:47,879
I mean, other times, it's...
147
00:06:47,880 --> 00:06:50,081
comes from when
you're running or walking
148
00:06:50,082 --> 00:06:52,517
or driving or sleeping.
149
00:06:52,518 --> 00:06:55,954
And I write, so it's-it's
a lyric or a melody,
150
00:06:55,955 --> 00:06:58,790
and you just stack it, and start
adding instruments and...
151
00:06:58,791 --> 00:06:59,991
What's all of this for?
152
00:06:59,992 --> 00:07:02,093
That's sheet music.
153
00:07:02,094 --> 00:07:05,296
Well, how do you get it
to be in the record?
154
00:07:05,297 --> 00:07:07,632
In order to make a, a record,
155
00:07:07,633 --> 00:07:11,102
you-you got to go
into a studio and record it.
156
00:07:11,103 --> 00:07:13,071
I want to see that.
157
00:07:13,072 --> 00:07:14,439
Take me to the studio, then.
158
00:07:14,440 --> 00:07:16,107
(laughs softly)
159
00:07:16,108 --> 00:07:18,409
No, man, it... that's-that's at Empire.
160
00:07:18,410 --> 00:07:19,911
Then take me to Empire.
161
00:07:32,424 --> 00:07:33,958
Come on.
162
00:07:33,959 --> 00:07:35,660
We good, right?
163
00:07:35,661 --> 00:07:37,629
'Cause no one can see him,
no one can know that he's here.
164
00:07:37,630 --> 00:07:38,963
This is what I do, all right?
165
00:07:38,964 --> 00:07:41,266
- All right.
- Looking good, Lucious.
166
00:07:43,869 --> 00:07:46,237
Thurston. Thirsty?
167
00:07:46,238 --> 00:07:47,572
Thirsty.
168
00:07:47,573 --> 00:07:49,274
- That's a wonderful name.
- Yeah.
169
00:07:49,275 --> 00:07:51,276
(chuckles)
170
00:07:51,277 --> 00:07:53,044
Look, you really don't
remember me, boss?
171
00:07:53,045 --> 00:07:54,879
Or are you just, you know,
rocking us all to sleep,
172
00:07:54,880 --> 00:07:57,015
pulling the Lucious Lyon move?
173
00:07:57,016 --> 00:08:00,118
Well, I would think
if I remembered anyone,
174
00:08:00,119 --> 00:08:03,221
it would be someone dressed
as smooth as you dress.
175
00:08:04,156 --> 00:08:06,257
Yeah, okay.
176
00:08:07,193 --> 00:08:09,060
We good, come on.
177
00:08:09,061 --> 00:08:10,361
(whispering):
Does he always dress like that?
178
00:08:10,362 --> 00:08:11,963
Every damn day.
179
00:08:13,577 --> 00:08:14,907
And, so if you'll turn
180
00:08:14,908 --> 00:08:16,073
your attention to the chart,
181
00:08:16,074 --> 00:08:17,975
you'll see the way we
intend to track progress
182
00:08:17,976 --> 00:08:20,711
on every album in 20 For 20.
183
00:08:20,712 --> 00:08:23,786
We are tracking artists,
producers, budgets
184
00:08:23,787 --> 00:08:24,904
and more importantly,
185
00:08:24,905 --> 00:08:27,289
whether or not you are
hitting your milestones.
186
00:08:27,290 --> 00:08:29,158
And you better damn well hit 'em.
187
00:08:29,159 --> 00:08:30,726
Or you're gonna hit bricks.
188
00:08:30,727 --> 00:08:33,395
Look, people, we don't
have time to waste here
189
00:08:33,396 --> 00:08:35,231
or room for error.
190
00:08:35,232 --> 00:08:37,933
You got to think about this
like a, a military operation.
191
00:08:37,934 --> 00:08:41,537
- BECKY: Absolutely. -Continue.
- Like Operation Cookie, huh?
192
00:08:41,538 --> 00:08:44,306
(laughs softly) Shine,
you know they say you shouldn't
193
00:08:44,307 --> 00:08:46,675
show up to a meeting
that can start without you.
194
00:08:46,676 --> 00:08:49,912
- (laughs softly)
- But since you and your goons are here,
195
00:08:49,913 --> 00:08:53,015
there's your spot.
196
00:08:55,852 --> 00:08:58,087
One album?
197
00:08:58,088 --> 00:08:59,151
What's...? Nah.
198
00:08:59,152 --> 00:09:01,420
You may have a chart
and a schedule full of ones,
199
00:09:01,421 --> 00:09:03,622
but I ain't a one.
200
00:09:03,623 --> 00:09:04,790
Ask Lucious, he know.
201
00:09:04,791 --> 00:09:06,225
And Lucious ain't here.
202
00:09:06,226 --> 00:09:08,460
I'm running this.
203
00:09:08,461 --> 00:09:10,329
Look, I'm-a get back
to running my empire.
204
00:09:10,330 --> 00:09:11,797
That'll give you plenty of time
205
00:09:11,798 --> 00:09:14,066
to get that mangy mutt
out of my workplace.
206
00:09:14,067 --> 00:09:15,801
- Hey, he goes where I go.
- Yeah.
207
00:09:15,802 --> 00:09:17,936
I was talking to the dog, Shine.
208
00:09:17,937 --> 00:09:19,404
Hey, I own a stake in this company.
209
00:09:19,405 --> 00:09:21,073
I got a seat on the board, Cookie.
210
00:09:21,074 --> 00:09:22,641
One album is not enough!
211
00:09:22,642 --> 00:09:24,777
PRISON GUARD: I give this
speech to all the newbies.
212
00:09:24,778 --> 00:09:26,411
It's not complicated, but still,
213
00:09:26,412 --> 00:09:28,347
only some of you get it,
most of you don't.
214
00:09:28,348 --> 00:09:30,115
- (women clamoring) -If you're in
the former, you'll do all right.
215
00:09:30,116 --> 00:09:31,450
You're in the latter, you won't.
216
00:09:31,451 --> 00:09:33,919
Trust me, you'll learn the hard way.
217
00:09:33,920 --> 00:09:36,588
Hey, quiet down now!
218
00:09:36,589 --> 00:09:38,190
Hey!
219
00:09:39,592 --> 00:09:41,460
You're cute.
220
00:09:41,461 --> 00:09:43,762
But you're a street chick,
you know the drill.
221
00:09:43,763 --> 00:09:47,833
Keep your head down,
nose clean and your mouth shut.
222
00:09:47,834 --> 00:09:50,035
Most important:
223
00:09:50,036 --> 00:09:53,105
tiny little thing like you
wants to survive in here,
224
00:09:53,106 --> 00:09:55,974
do not ever forget that every
last one of those ladies
225
00:09:55,975 --> 00:09:57,910
will just as soon smile at you
226
00:09:57,911 --> 00:10:00,879
as slice a buck 50
across your pretty little face.
227
00:10:02,582 --> 00:10:06,785
Oh. And if you need anything,
just dial nine for room service.
228
00:10:09,155 --> 00:10:12,624
Look, Shine, this ain't got
to be a pissing contest, okay?
229
00:10:12,625 --> 00:10:13,959
Well, you made it one.
230
00:10:13,960 --> 00:10:16,061
Coming at me with that
one album nonsense.
231
00:10:16,062 --> 00:10:18,430
You know, Lucious wouldn't
disrespect me like that.
232
00:10:18,431 --> 00:10:20,766
Lucious ain't here right now, is he?
233
00:10:20,767 --> 00:10:22,401
Yeah, apparently not.
234
00:10:22,402 --> 00:10:25,304
How come he ain't shown his face
since that concert?
235
00:10:25,305 --> 00:10:26,939
Because nunya, that's why.
236
00:10:26,940 --> 00:10:29,608
Look, since you're acting
all concerned,
237
00:10:29,609 --> 00:10:34,112
he is focusing on his
rehabilitation right now.
238
00:10:35,682 --> 00:10:37,716
What you want, Shine?
239
00:10:38,685 --> 00:10:41,053
- Ten albums.
- (laughs)
240
00:10:41,054 --> 00:10:42,554
Boy, this meeting is over.
241
00:10:42,555 --> 00:10:44,389
Ain't nobody got time
for your nonsense.
242
00:10:44,390 --> 00:10:47,659
We both know 20 For 20
is just a roll of the dice.
243
00:10:47,660 --> 00:10:49,728
I'm the only one you got left here
244
00:10:49,729 --> 00:10:51,596
that knows how to produce a banger.
245
00:10:55,001 --> 00:10:56,501
Okay, three.
246
00:10:58,438 --> 00:11:00,005
Something wrong with your calculator.
247
00:11:00,006 --> 00:11:01,173
How's that?
248
00:11:01,174 --> 00:11:03,275
That's nowhere next to
my 25% of the company.
249
00:11:04,711 --> 00:11:06,311
Seven.
250
00:11:06,312 --> 00:11:08,580
And Studio 3 on permanent
lockdown until I'm done.
251
00:11:10,516 --> 00:11:12,384
Five. And that's a quarter,
252
00:11:12,385 --> 00:11:15,053
since you want
to throw percentages around.
253
00:11:15,054 --> 00:11:17,522
First dibs on Studio 3, no lock.
254
00:11:17,523 --> 00:11:19,691
I got 15 other albums
to produce. Are we good?
255
00:11:19,692 --> 00:11:23,729
That's that biblical
wisdom I'm talking about.
256
00:11:23,730 --> 00:11:26,231
- I'm impressed.
- (chuckles)
257
00:11:26,232 --> 00:11:27,733
I can live with five.
258
00:11:27,734 --> 00:11:29,568
Good.
259
00:11:29,569 --> 00:11:32,271
You're gonna do fine here, Cookie.
260
00:11:32,272 --> 00:11:34,039
And tell Lucious not to hurry back.
261
00:11:34,040 --> 00:11:35,741
- I like working with you.
- Mm-hmm.
262
00:11:35,742 --> 00:11:37,943
Yeah, I hope I like these five you got.
263
00:11:37,944 --> 00:11:39,978
(knock on door)
264
00:11:39,979 --> 00:11:41,980
(Thirsty groans)
265
00:11:41,981 --> 00:11:44,883
You ready for the weekend update?
266
00:11:44,884 --> 00:11:47,753
My-my people had
the incorrect Intel on Giuliana.
267
00:11:47,754 --> 00:11:51,356
I mean... we-we looked under
every rock, nook and cranny.
268
00:11:51,357 --> 00:11:53,025
Even went through
a couple of crack houses.
269
00:11:53,026 --> 00:11:55,594
Now... I don't know, it's like
somebody beat us to the punch.
270
00:11:55,595 --> 00:11:56,762
I mean, this chick is ghost.
271
00:11:56,763 --> 00:11:58,864
Maybe you need new people.
272
00:11:58,865 --> 00:12:01,300
(chuckles)
273
00:12:01,301 --> 00:12:04,102
Yeah, you ain't lying on that. Maybe.
274
00:12:04,103 --> 00:12:06,305
Drinking in the afternoon, huh?
275
00:12:06,306 --> 00:12:08,206
You all right? You're good?
276
00:12:08,207 --> 00:12:09,942
What else, Thirsty?
277
00:12:09,943 --> 00:12:13,745
Well, I mean, you know, Vegas
Metro can't find her, either.
278
00:12:13,746 --> 00:12:16,648
So the investigation continues,
which is good.
279
00:12:16,649 --> 00:12:19,384
But they-they want someone
to corroborate your statement.
280
00:12:19,385 --> 00:12:21,787
There is nobody else.
281
00:12:21,788 --> 00:12:23,822
Just me and Giuliana.
282
00:12:23,823 --> 00:12:25,857
And the guy she was
popping off to, right?
283
00:12:27,694 --> 00:12:30,362
Yeah, man, I copy. I get it.
284
00:12:30,363 --> 00:12:33,242
I mean, you know, but this is,
this is a high-profile case.
285
00:12:33,243 --> 00:12:34,984
All right? The police are
under a lot of pressure.
286
00:12:34,985 --> 00:12:36,530
They're not saying you're lying,
287
00:12:36,531 --> 00:12:37,979
but they just want some confirmation
288
00:12:37,980 --> 00:12:39,321
that they're on the right track.
289
00:12:39,322 --> 00:12:44,060
How about the fact that Giuliana
is missing?
290
00:12:44,061 --> 00:12:45,494
How about that?
291
00:12:45,495 --> 00:12:48,964
How about that? All right.
292
00:12:48,965 --> 00:12:53,369
I mean, you... you're preaching
to the converted, boss man.
293
00:12:53,370 --> 00:12:55,871
I will relay the message to 'em,
294
00:12:55,872 --> 00:12:58,374
without the attitude, of course.
295
00:12:58,375 --> 00:13:00,242
But we're on the same page, right?
296
00:13:00,243 --> 00:13:01,877
Absolutely.
297
00:13:01,878 --> 00:13:04,647
Yeah. All right. I'm on it.
298
00:13:04,648 --> 00:13:06,549
(Thirsty sighs)
299
00:13:06,550 --> 00:13:09,652
(sighs)
300
00:13:20,197 --> 00:13:22,665
May I talk to you, Detective?
301
00:13:26,403 --> 00:13:29,004
Right outside the station.
302
00:13:29,005 --> 00:13:31,240
My, aren't we bold?
303
00:13:31,241 --> 00:13:34,510
So, you don't like it when I
show up at your office, huh?
304
00:13:34,511 --> 00:13:36,312
I wonder what would happen
if one of your colleagues
305
00:13:36,313 --> 00:13:37,680
saw you talking to a suspect.
306
00:13:37,681 --> 00:13:40,583
Who says you're a suspect?
307
00:13:45,188 --> 00:13:47,623
Fine.
308
00:13:47,624 --> 00:13:49,808
You want to know why
Giuliana Green is missing,
309
00:13:49,809 --> 00:13:50,939
I'll tell you why.
310
00:13:50,940 --> 00:13:53,429
Because anyone who is stupid enough
311
00:13:53,430 --> 00:13:54,964
to try and kill my father
312
00:13:54,965 --> 00:13:57,700
is safer in hiding than
facing his kind of justice.
313
00:13:57,701 --> 00:14:01,170
Now, I told the Vegas
Police everything I know.
314
00:14:01,171 --> 00:14:03,539
You're the one pushing them
to keep questioning me
315
00:14:03,540 --> 00:14:05,008
when they should be trying
316
00:14:05,009 --> 00:14:06,776
to find my father's would-be killer.
317
00:14:09,413 --> 00:14:11,514
You're perspiring.
318
00:14:11,515 --> 00:14:12,715
Out of breath.
319
00:14:12,716 --> 00:14:15,318
Deflecting.
320
00:14:15,319 --> 00:14:19,188
All behaviors associated
with someone telling a lie.
321
00:14:19,189 --> 00:14:20,823
Care to explain?
322
00:14:20,824 --> 00:14:23,226
(indistinct chatter nearby
and over radio)
323
00:14:37,168 --> 00:14:39,269
(sighs)
324
00:14:49,914 --> 00:14:53,250
Yo, where you from?
325
00:14:58,589 --> 00:15:00,791
Philly.
326
00:15:00,792 --> 00:15:04,628
Yo. We got a Philly girl down here.
327
00:15:04,629 --> 00:15:06,730
Chyna.
328
00:15:06,731 --> 00:15:08,365
You got new peoples.
329
00:15:10,268 --> 00:15:11,701
Hold up.
330
00:15:20,611 --> 00:15:22,445
You from Philly?
331
00:15:22,446 --> 00:15:24,915
What part?
332
00:15:27,618 --> 00:15:29,119
What's your name?
333
00:15:29,120 --> 00:15:31,555
Why you asking so many questions?
334
00:15:31,556 --> 00:15:33,256
(inmates exclaim)
335
00:15:33,791 --> 00:15:34,925
Uh-uh.
336
00:15:34,926 --> 00:15:36,893
- Bitch.
- (inmates yelling)
337
00:15:36,894 --> 00:15:39,362
Break it up!
338
00:15:40,798 --> 00:15:42,032
Come on.
339
00:15:42,033 --> 00:15:43,300
(indistinct shouting)
340
00:15:43,301 --> 00:15:46,002
Crazy bitch!
341
00:15:46,003 --> 00:15:49,239
I was trying to give you
some shower shoes!
342
00:15:59,951 --> 00:16:01,751
I was expecting Whit Houseworth.
343
00:16:01,752 --> 00:16:03,820
Whit's been called away last minute.
344
00:16:03,821 --> 00:16:05,355
I'm Morris Loach,
345
00:16:05,356 --> 00:16:09,159
executive vice president
of corporate lending.
346
00:16:10,261 --> 00:16:11,561
This way.
347
00:16:24,508 --> 00:16:26,376
I have examined your request
348
00:16:26,377 --> 00:16:28,378
in conjunction
with the Empire portfolio
349
00:16:28,379 --> 00:16:30,981
and, while impressive,
350
00:16:30,982 --> 00:16:34,217
I'm afraid...
351
00:16:34,218 --> 00:16:37,053
we cannot extend you a line of credit.
352
00:16:37,054 --> 00:16:40,690
Pardon? Empire has had our best
quarter in the last ten...
353
00:16:40,691 --> 00:16:42,926
We're exercising a position of caution
354
00:16:42,927 --> 00:16:45,395
in the entertainment sector right now.
355
00:16:45,396 --> 00:16:47,731
- I'm sorry.
- COOKIE: No, you're not sorry.
356
00:16:47,732 --> 00:16:51,134
In fact, you're over there
enjoying yourself, aren't you?
357
00:16:51,135 --> 00:16:53,136
Because you can't wait
to tell your little friends
358
00:16:53,137 --> 00:16:54,671
how you declined Empire
359
00:16:54,672 --> 00:16:57,540
and reminded us
of where we belong, right?
360
00:16:57,541 --> 00:16:59,075
Ms. Lyon, I assure you,
361
00:16:59,076 --> 00:17:02,545
our bank takes pride
in servicing every client.
362
00:17:02,546 --> 00:17:06,249
Empire has had steady growth
for damn near 20 years.
363
00:17:06,250 --> 00:17:08,652
And since going public,
we've increased market share
364
00:17:08,653 --> 00:17:09,853
and doubled revenue.
365
00:17:09,854 --> 00:17:11,521
You saw that in the file.
366
00:17:11,522 --> 00:17:13,523
(chuckles) But you made up your mind
367
00:17:13,524 --> 00:17:16,593
before it hit your desk, didn't you?
368
00:17:16,594 --> 00:17:18,461
I would call you a bougie coward,
369
00:17:18,462 --> 00:17:23,433
but I am the chief executive
officer of Empire Enterprises,
370
00:17:23,434 --> 00:17:25,301
so I'll leave you with good day.
371
00:17:28,172 --> 00:17:29,839
Bitch.
372
00:17:40,384 --> 00:17:42,798
So, here's your plaques
and your awards.
373
00:17:42,799 --> 00:17:45,701
It's not all of 'em,
not even near, but...
374
00:17:45,702 --> 00:17:47,053
it's some of 'em.
375
00:17:47,054 --> 00:17:50,265
This is the green room.
376
00:17:50,266 --> 00:17:53,125
It's basically where the artists come
377
00:17:53,126 --> 00:17:56,322
and chill or write or drink or eat
378
00:17:56,323 --> 00:17:59,490
in between or before
they go into the studio.
379
00:17:59,491 --> 00:18:01,225
I built all of this?
380
00:18:01,226 --> 00:18:04,195
Dad, literally every single
thing in here, this is all you.
381
00:18:04,196 --> 00:18:06,631
- All this is mine?
- Yes, everything.
382
00:18:06,632 --> 00:18:10,334
Even these?
383
00:18:11,670 --> 00:18:13,538
(laughing): Everything.
384
00:18:13,539 --> 00:18:14,839
(laughs)
385
00:18:16,775 --> 00:18:19,010
- It's mine.
- It's all you, man.
386
00:18:19,011 --> 00:18:21,012
- It's all you.

And this... (sighs)
388
00:18:25,384 --> 00:18:28,152
...is one of your studios.
389
00:18:30,088 --> 00:18:33,458
Hmm. How many of these do I have?
390
00:18:33,459 --> 00:18:35,793
A lot, Dad.
391
00:18:35,794 --> 00:18:36,794
Not just here... L.A., everywhere.
392
00:18:36,795 --> 00:18:38,396

RECEPTIONIST (over intercom):
Jamal, Warren Hall
394
00:18:39,565 --> 00:18:41,599
is on his way up to see you.
395
00:18:41,600 --> 00:18:45,069
JAMAL: Why would you let...?
Never mind.
396
00:18:45,070 --> 00:18:46,471
Uh, Dad, chill, all right?
397
00:18:46,472 --> 00:18:48,773
Webb, watch, watch my dad.
Chill, Dad, all right?
398
00:18:48,774 --> 00:18:51,409
- Hey.
- Hey, baby.
399
00:18:51,410 --> 00:18:53,911
My meeting ended early,
so I came to take you to lunch.
400
00:18:53,912 --> 00:18:58,182
Oh, that's, um, that's so nice.
I, I got, um,
401
00:18:58,183 --> 00:19:00,818
I got to record and I'm trying
to lay down these, these vocals,
402
00:19:00,819 --> 00:19:02,907
so I just... I only got
like an hour and a half.
403
00:19:02,908 --> 00:19:03,855
It's cool. I can wait with you.
404
00:19:03,856 --> 00:19:05,623
No, no, why don't we, why don't
we catch dinner tonight?
405
00:19:05,624 --> 00:19:07,058
'Cause then that way we can
just really chill, you know?
406
00:19:07,059 --> 00:19:09,460
Wait, is that your father right there?
407
00:19:09,461 --> 00:19:12,541
No, man, that's-that's the engineer.
408
00:19:12,542 --> 00:19:14,265
He's a legend. Are you crazy?
409
00:19:14,266 --> 00:19:16,334
I, um...
410
00:19:16,335 --> 00:19:19,504
I think it's so sweet that
you-you came to surprise me,
411
00:19:19,505 --> 00:19:20,938
- but I really need to...
- You know what, don't worry.
412
00:19:20,939 --> 00:19:22,773
Nah, I just need to lay down
these lyrics.
413
00:19:22,774 --> 00:19:23,808
- So it's a... I'm having...
- Okay.
414
00:19:23,809 --> 00:19:25,247
I should have called.
415
00:19:25,248 --> 00:19:26,680
- Nah, it's-it's all good, though.
- That's okay.
416
00:19:26,681 --> 00:19:27,678
I'm happy to see you, you know?
417
00:19:27,679 --> 00:19:28,994
All right, I'll surprise you
another time.
418
00:19:28,995 --> 00:19:30,881
All right.
419
00:19:35,320 --> 00:19:36,721
So this right here,

this is it.
421
00:19:38,857 --> 00:19:40,658
This is Studio 3,
422
00:19:40,659 --> 00:19:43,027
nicknamed The Hitmaker.
423
00:19:43,028 --> 00:19:44,662
I record here.
424
00:19:44,663 --> 00:19:45,830
Yeah.
425
00:19:45,831 --> 00:19:49,200
You recorded your
best-selling album here.
426
00:19:49,201 --> 00:19:51,202
It took three days.
427
00:19:51,203 --> 00:19:54,972
Nobody slept for 72 hours, not
even my ass, and I was a kid.
428
00:19:54,973 --> 00:19:56,307
- (laughs)
- But...
429
00:19:56,308 --> 00:19:58,776
but it went on to sell
over eight million copies,
430
00:19:58,777 --> 00:19:59,977
and now everybody wants to record here
431
00:19:59,978 --> 00:20:01,612
'cause they feel like
the Lucious Lyon magic
432
00:20:01,613 --> 00:20:04,649
will, like, sprinkle on them
or something.
433
00:20:04,650 --> 00:20:08,853
You know, I'm the one with
the Lucious Lyon magic, so...
434
00:20:08,854 --> 00:20:12,056
Listen to this.

("Chasing the Sky" playing)
436

This is the song that I said
that we wrote together.

Look.
438
00:20:18,730 --> 00:20:19,830

Oh, this is the, um, the mixing board.

It's basically how the engineer
takes the song to completion.

Man, you used to work on all of this.

Yeah. Day ones.
481
00:22:10,835 --> 00:22:12,703
Yeah, we made rap music together.
482
00:22:12,704 --> 00:22:16,239
Okay, so you're gonna throw
that in my face now.
483
00:22:16,240 --> 00:22:19,643
Nah, Lucious, we didn't make
rap music together.
484
00:22:19,644 --> 00:22:21,511
Well, we'd do a few jams,
485
00:22:21,512 --> 00:22:23,146
made a lot of money in the street.
486
00:22:23,147 --> 00:22:25,148
Meaning, like, uh, street parties.
487
00:22:25,149 --> 00:22:27,584
'Cause before there was Empire
or anything,

Rocky Balboa. Remember that?

To be perfectly honest with you,
Moonshine, I don't.

longer than that.

So that's why you're here.
To make music.

in Accounts Payable gets cc'd.
527
00:24:17,414 --> 00:24:19,515
Okay? Thank you.
528
00:24:33,730 --> 00:24:35,731
Who let you in here?
529
00:24:35,732 --> 00:24:38,934
Get it right, Mr. Lyon, I'm NYPD,
530
00:24:38,935 --> 00:24:41,904
not Vegas Po-Po
you can keep off your ass
531
00:24:41,905 --> 00:24:43,906
with a couple of tickets
to The Lion King.
532
00:24:49,413 --> 00:24:52,081
You said Giuliana Green
is in hiding because
533
00:24:52,082 --> 00:24:53,716
she's afraid of your father.
534
00:24:53,717 --> 00:24:57,086
Now, I take it your father
is a pretty scary guy.
535
00:24:57,087 --> 00:25:00,890
But how about you?
536
00:25:00,891 --> 00:25:03,492
Are you scary... Andre?
537
00:25:08,732 --> 00:25:11,801
Next time we speak,
538
00:25:11,802 --> 00:25:13,903
I think it's best
my attorney be present.
539
00:25:20,210 --> 00:25:22,411
Know the difference between
fear and excitement?
540
00:25:24,181 --> 00:25:27,416
It's all in how your brain
interprets it.
541
00:25:27,417 --> 00:25:29,819
Earlier today, when you heard
the uniforms
542
00:25:29,820 --> 00:25:31,220
coming around the corner,
543
00:25:31,221 --> 00:25:32,788
were you afraid we were
going to get caught?
544
00:25:32,789 --> 00:25:34,323
Caught?
545
00:25:34,324 --> 00:25:37,226
Well, see, I wasn't.
546
00:25:37,227 --> 00:25:38,861
It made me hot.
547
00:25:46,103 --> 00:25:48,771
(door shuts)
548
00:25:53,176 --> 00:25:55,778
Just the way you like it.
549
00:25:55,779 --> 00:25:59,281
You promise? (chuckles)
550
00:25:59,282 --> 00:26:01,917
Thanks, Juanita.
551
00:26:04,254 --> 00:26:07,623
It's like that fellow, Moonshine...
552
00:26:07,624 --> 00:26:11,594
I looked in his eye and
I could see that he was
553
00:26:11,595 --> 00:26:13,896
a violent, violent man.
554
00:26:13,897 --> 00:26:18,200
And I knew that him and I had
some kind of history.
555
00:26:18,201 --> 00:26:20,402
He was looking for it in my eyes.
556
00:26:20,403 --> 00:26:23,038
Is that what drove my music?
557
00:26:23,039 --> 00:26:25,307
Was it dark?
558
00:26:25,308 --> 00:26:29,645
Was I a violent man like him?
559
00:26:31,381 --> 00:26:35,251
I mean, I know you guys are
trying to protect me, but...
560
00:26:35,252 --> 00:26:38,120
it seems like y'all are
trying to protect me from me.
561
00:26:44,861 --> 00:26:48,364
When I was six years old,
you threw me in a trash can.
562
00:26:48,365 --> 00:26:50,566
I what?
563
00:26:51,902 --> 00:26:53,969
It was a party,
564
00:26:53,970 --> 00:26:57,072
and I came downstairs in Mom's heels
565
00:26:57,073 --> 00:26:58,874
and scarf or whatever.
566
00:26:58,875 --> 00:27:02,211
And a lot of the, you know, like
friends and family were over,
567
00:27:02,212 --> 00:27:03,345
so it freaked you out.
568
00:27:03,346 --> 00:27:04,914
I was intolerant?
569
00:27:04,915 --> 00:27:08,817
(laughs) Yeah, that's a nice
way of saying it, yeah.
570
00:27:08,818 --> 00:27:13,455
That's... (sighs)
571
00:27:13,456 --> 00:27:16,825
a hateful, ugly thing
to do to somebody.
572
00:27:16,826 --> 00:27:19,628
I rejected you for who you are.
573
00:27:19,629 --> 00:27:22,698
That's wrong. It's...
574
00:27:22,699 --> 00:27:25,534
it's hateful.
575
00:27:25,535 --> 00:27:27,403
I mean, it wasn't easy,
576
00:27:27,404 --> 00:27:31,674
and, you know, I spent some
time hating you, but...
577
00:27:32,742 --> 00:27:34,109
Dad, you were a product...
578
00:27:34,110 --> 00:27:36,412
a product of, you know,
where you grew up.
579
00:27:36,413 --> 00:27:38,314
No, no, no, there's no excuse for that.
580
00:27:38,315 --> 00:27:39,748
I mean, here I was,
581
00:27:39,749 --> 00:27:43,652
unable to see my own son because...
582
00:27:43,653 --> 00:27:46,422
of some prejudice I had.
583
00:27:48,592 --> 00:27:50,192
I'm so sorry.
584
00:27:53,663 --> 00:27:57,600
Dad, it's okay,
as long as you see me now.
585
00:27:57,601 --> 00:27:58,834
And you do.
586
00:28:01,538 --> 00:28:03,539
Thank you for trusting
me with the truth.
587
00:28:03,540 --> 00:28:06,075
Yeah. (chuckles)
588
00:28:14,808 --> 00:28:16,909
(indistinct chatter)
589
00:28:18,712 --> 00:28:21,213
Nice of you to have it all ready.
590
00:28:21,214 --> 00:28:22,214
That kind of day, huh?
591
00:28:22,215 --> 00:28:23,882
You have no idea.
592
00:28:23,883 --> 00:28:25,684
Don't worry, we'll get you glammed up.
593
00:28:25,685 --> 00:28:27,720
Annie is just getting some
compositions up with the others.
594
00:28:27,721 --> 00:28:29,688
- Okay.
- WOMAN: Yeah.
595
00:28:29,689 --> 00:28:31,991
(indistinct chatter and laughter)
596
00:28:31,992 --> 00:28:34,526
Cookie, darling.
597
00:28:34,527 --> 00:28:36,328

in front of Bella.

00:29:05,301 --> 00:29:06,702
(knock on door)
614
00:29:06,703 --> 00:29:08,163
Zoe, you mind getting that for me?
615
00:29:10,506 --> 00:29:12,674
Hello.
616
00:29:12,675 --> 00:29:14,676
Mama's here.
617
00:29:14,677 --> 00:29:18,380
(singsongy): Look at my pretty,
little princess.
618
00:29:18,381 --> 00:29:20,382
(laughs) Hi.
619
00:29:20,383 --> 00:29:22,751
HAKEEM: Hey, Anika.
620
00:29:22,752 --> 00:29:25,354
Hey. You coming home with Mama
tonight, right?
621
00:29:25,355 --> 00:29:26,555
Yes.
622
00:29:26,556 --> 00:29:28,557
HAKEEM: Going where?
623
00:29:28,558 --> 00:29:31,126
She's coming home with me tonight.
624
00:29:31,127 --> 00:29:32,794
Right?
625
00:29:32,795 --> 00:29:33,862
She's not going with you
anywhere, Anika.
626
00:29:33,863 --> 00:29:34,863
- Excuse me?
- (Bella cries)
627
00:29:34,864 --> 00:29:36,031
She has a play date tomorrow
628
00:29:36,032 --> 00:29:37,899
and I have to take her shopping
for her birthday.
629
00:29:37,900 --> 00:29:40,168
That's okay, I will take her.
630
00:29:40,169 --> 00:29:41,403
I mean, Lucious want me
to bring her over there.
631
00:29:41,404 --> 00:29:43,138
You were just over there today, right?
632
00:29:43,139 --> 00:29:46,408
Ah, you are a terrible liar, Hakeem.
633
00:29:46,409 --> 00:29:48,343
Oh, come to Mama. Come.
634
00:29:48,344 --> 00:29:49,778
She's on a routine now.
635
00:29:49,779 --> 00:29:51,546
Babies is supposed
to be on that. Right, T?
636
00:29:51,547 --> 00:29:54,583
(Bella crying)
637
00:29:58,721 --> 00:29:59,855
Come, come...
638
00:29:59,856 --> 00:30:01,456
Oh, oh, come here.
639
00:30:01,457 --> 00:30:03,392
Oh, oh, oh, oh.
640
00:30:03,393 --> 00:30:05,260
HAKEEM: See? She's not used to you yet.
641
00:30:05,261 --> 00:30:08,096
Got to give her some time.
642
00:30:08,097 --> 00:30:10,832
You were gone five months.
643
00:30:10,833 --> 00:30:13,702
And your mother was gone
for 17 years, Hakeem,
644
00:30:13,703 --> 00:30:14,903
but she is still your mother.
645
00:30:14,904 --> 00:30:17,372
And I am still Bella's.
646
00:30:17,373 --> 00:30:20,509
Now, she might not remember...
647
00:30:20,510 --> 00:30:22,544
but you better not forget.
648
00:30:24,380 --> 00:30:25,881
WOMAN: Didn't her stylist get the memo?
649
00:30:25,882 --> 00:30:27,616
WOMAN 2: Turned down
for a line of credit.
650
00:30:27,617 --> 00:30:28,917
Poor thing.
651
00:30:28,918 --> 00:30:30,752
WOMAN 3: But the company is solid.
652
00:30:30,753 --> 00:30:33,789
DIANA: That's rap.
Black pathology always sells.
653
00:30:33,790 --> 00:30:35,357
WOMAN 3: Wasn't she with your son?
654
00:30:35,358 --> 00:30:37,225
WOMAN 2:
Doesn't have a degree, does she?
655
00:30:37,226 --> 00:30:39,127
Oh, not even an education,
except for federal prison.
656
00:30:39,128 --> 00:30:40,896
Diana.
657
00:30:40,897 --> 00:30:44,199
You have something
you need to say to me?
658
00:30:44,200 --> 00:30:48,103
Right here. You can say it to my face.
659
00:30:48,104 --> 00:30:51,073
I was just talking to my friends
about the recidivism rates.
660
00:30:51,074 --> 00:30:54,643
I'm a firm believer that as long
as people resort to crime
661
00:30:54,644 --> 00:30:59,214
and violence to solve problems,
that, well,
662
00:30:59,215 --> 00:31:01,149
I'm sure I don't have to tell you
663
00:31:01,150 --> 00:31:03,652
about the vicious cycle thing.
664
00:31:03,653 --> 00:31:05,687
CHYNA: Yo, Cookie.
665
00:31:05,688 --> 00:31:07,889
Cookie, right?
666
00:31:12,328 --> 00:31:13,495
What do you want?
667
00:31:14,630 --> 00:31:17,966
Uh, ladies, you about ready?
668
00:31:21,404 --> 00:31:23,638
I should've known how a new
jack would respond to a gift
669
00:31:23,639 --> 00:31:25,340
just out the blue like that,
670
00:31:25,341 --> 00:31:27,161
especially one of y'all
north Philly chicks.
671
00:31:28,111 --> 00:31:30,912
Look, I'm from Southwest.
672
00:31:30,913 --> 00:31:32,948
See that?
673
00:31:32,949 --> 00:31:35,016
That's Philly every day, all day.
674
00:31:35,017 --> 00:31:36,752
Well, except for Ilene.
675
00:31:36,753 --> 00:31:40,322
She's from Camden, but she reps hard.
676
00:31:40,323 --> 00:31:43,759
Anyway, look, you don't want
to be stepping barefoot
677
00:31:43,760 --> 00:31:45,393
in them shower stalls
with the nasty asses
678
00:31:45,394 --> 00:31:46,762
we got up in here, okay?
679
00:31:46,763 --> 00:31:49,965
I'm supposed to believe that's it, huh?
680
00:31:49,966 --> 00:31:53,969
Oh, we got lotion. Baby powder. Stamps.
681
00:31:53,970 --> 00:31:56,271
Write your peeps,
let 'em know you're good.
682
00:31:56,272 --> 00:31:58,774
Just until you get money on your
books and can get your own.
683
00:31:58,775 --> 00:32:00,842
Just put a little bit back
in the stash for the next chick.
684
00:32:00,843 --> 00:32:01,943
Know what I mean?
685
00:32:03,980 --> 00:32:06,148
So, how many years you get?
Oh, no, don't tell me.
686
00:32:06,149 --> 00:32:07,349
Conspiracy,
687
00:32:07,350 --> 00:32:10,986
new law, you got more than ten,
that's for sure.
688
00:32:12,488 --> 00:32:14,956
- Thirty.
- Hmm.
689
00:32:14,957 --> 00:32:16,458
Thirty.
690
00:32:16,459 --> 00:32:18,960
So you'll be doing, what?
691
00:32:18,961 --> 00:32:21,696
25 and a half?
692
00:32:21,697 --> 00:32:23,832
You see Ashanti over there,
that skinny one?
693
00:32:23,833 --> 00:32:25,100
She got 30.
694
00:32:25,101 --> 00:32:28,804
LaDonna, she got life.
695
00:32:28,805 --> 00:32:31,506
Not one of 'em got less than ten.
696
00:32:31,507 --> 00:32:34,309
I'm-a let you guess how many
of them are not in here
697
00:32:34,310 --> 00:32:37,112
because of their man.
698
00:32:38,214 --> 00:32:40,482
What about you? Where your man at?
699
00:32:40,483 --> 00:32:43,752
Out there on the streets.
700
00:32:43,753 --> 00:32:45,987
My man was a don.
701
00:32:45,988 --> 00:32:47,789
You heard of him, trust me.
702
00:32:47,790 --> 00:32:50,458
Talking that "get down or lay down."
703
00:32:50,459 --> 00:32:54,362
Feds ran up on him,
he laid his ass down.
704
00:32:54,363 --> 00:32:56,932
What man?
705
00:32:56,933 --> 00:32:59,568
I'm in here with you and them.
706
00:32:59,569 --> 00:33:03,004
We live together or we die alone.
707
00:33:03,906 --> 00:33:07,042
- ANNIE: And right here.
- I'm sorry.
708
00:33:07,043 --> 00:33:08,576
I-I got to say something.
709
00:33:09,412 --> 00:33:10,545
I'm sorry.
710
00:33:10,546 --> 00:33:12,347
Um, look, it's no secret
711
00:33:12,348 --> 00:33:14,950
that there's bad blood between us.
712
00:33:14,951 --> 00:33:17,519
But I'd like to put that behind us,
713
00:33:17,520 --> 00:33:19,344
because I have so many other things
714
00:33:19,345 --> 00:33:20,605
I need to be concerned with.
715
00:33:21,524 --> 00:33:23,258
(sighs)
716
00:33:23,259 --> 00:33:25,727
I got turned down
for a line of credit today.
717
00:33:25,728 --> 00:33:28,530
Every "T" was crossed,
every "I" was dotted.
718
00:33:28,531 --> 00:33:30,298
Should've been a shoo-in, but...
719
00:33:30,299 --> 00:33:32,934
before I could get
a "how do you do, ma'am?"
720
00:33:32,935 --> 00:33:35,770
that bougie-ass banker
told me to kick rocks.
721
00:33:35,771 --> 00:33:39,274
Look, I may not know
business like all of you do,
722
00:33:39,275 --> 00:33:43,245
but I know music, and it's priceless.
723
00:33:43,246 --> 00:33:45,614
And I need to go find a bank
that understands that,
724
00:33:45,615 --> 00:33:48,183
- so I'm sorry. I'm so...
- The same thing happened to me.
725
00:33:49,452 --> 00:33:51,553
My husband had a heart attack.
726
00:33:51,554 --> 00:33:53,154
Left me to care for two teenagers.
727
00:33:53,155 --> 00:33:55,390
My company was teetering,
728
00:33:55,391 --> 00:33:57,926
my job was on the line.
729
00:33:57,927 --> 00:33:59,861
I mean, all I needed
was a, a bridge loan
730
00:33:59,862 --> 00:34:01,463
to take me through the quarter.
731
00:34:01,464 --> 00:34:03,265
I got turned down,
732
00:34:03,266 --> 00:34:05,800
'cause I don't have an
appendage between my legs.
733
00:34:05,801 --> 00:34:07,902
(laughs) Cookie.
734
00:34:09,872 --> 00:34:12,641
I'm gonna spot you $10 mil
for your 20 For 20.
735
00:34:12,642 --> 00:34:15,777
And not just because my
kids love your music.
736
00:34:15,778 --> 00:34:17,946
- $10 million?
- Mm-hmm.
737
00:34:17,947 --> 00:34:19,981
(laughing): Thank you.
738
00:34:19,982 --> 00:34:22,117
- Count me in!
- I got you.
739
00:34:22,118 --> 00:34:24,452
The boys on Wall Street sure
as hell don't have our backs.
740
00:34:24,453 --> 00:34:26,688
We got to stick together.
741
00:34:26,689 --> 00:34:30,825
Now come take one of these
flicks with us, new jack.
742
00:34:33,963 --> 00:34:36,064
Ho, ho, ho, ho, ho.
743
00:34:37,466 --> 00:34:38,967
I guess I'm staying.
744
00:34:38,968 --> 00:34:40,669
Fire that camera up.
745
00:34:40,670 --> 00:34:42,737
(laughs) Thank you.
746
00:34:42,738 --> 00:34:45,106
That's girl power.
747
00:34:45,107 --> 00:34:48,109
I am impressed.
748
00:34:48,110 --> 00:34:50,378
You were clearly the
better woman today.
749
00:34:52,148 --> 00:34:54,349
And you're right.
750
00:34:54,350 --> 00:34:58,286
It's time that we put
these hostilities behind us.
751
00:35:02,020 --> 00:35:04,121
- Ma'am.

Look.
817
00:38:50,569 --> 00:38:52,436
I don't know what's going on,
818
00:38:52,437 --> 00:38:54,438
or what the deal is
with you and your father.
819
00:38:54,439 --> 00:38:57,441
And it's none of my business.
820
00:38:57,442 --> 00:39:00,411
I just don't understand
why I haven't met him yet.
821
00:39:00,412 --> 00:39:02,413
'Cause I told you a million
different times, Warren,
822
00:39:02,414 --> 00:39:04,882
that it's-it's complicated.
823
00:39:04,883 --> 00:39:07,618
"It's complicated." Come on, boy.
824
00:39:07,619 --> 00:39:09,620
You embarrassed of me?
825
00:39:09,621 --> 00:39:11,455
Are you joking? Why would
I be embarrassed of you?
826
00:39:11,456 --> 00:39:13,491
Well, then, are you
embarrassed of your father?
827
00:39:16,027 --> 00:39:17,795
I just don't understand
why we're keeping secrets,
828
00:39:17,796 --> 00:39:19,330
that's all.
829
00:39:19,331 --> 00:39:20,765
"We"?
830
00:39:20,766 --> 00:39:23,667
I mean, are you keeping secrets?
831
00:39:28,473 --> 00:39:29,907
(quietly): All right.
832
00:39:29,908 --> 00:39:33,744
I got daddy issues, too.
833
00:39:33,745 --> 00:39:35,713
My father's an attorney.
834
00:39:35,714 --> 00:39:39,216
Was an attorney.
835
00:39:39,217 --> 00:39:43,621
(exhales) But now he's a
degenerate gambler and a drunk.
836
00:39:43,622 --> 00:39:46,757
I got accepted to Stanford.
837
00:39:46,758 --> 00:39:48,993
My father paid my tuition
838
00:39:48,994 --> 00:39:51,729
to a whole bunch of casinos in Vegas.
839
00:39:53,999 --> 00:39:57,935
Jamal, one of the things
that made me fall hard for you
840
00:39:57,936 --> 00:40:02,606
is when your father had his accident,
841
00:40:02,607 --> 00:40:04,241
how you loved him.
842
00:40:04,242 --> 00:40:07,812
I'll always wonder what that felt like.
843
00:40:07,813 --> 00:40:12,016
Maybe, maybe I was just
hanging around, trying to...
844
00:40:12,017 --> 00:40:13,451
be a part of that.
845
00:40:13,452 --> 00:40:17,588
But if you don't trust me...
846
00:40:17,589 --> 00:40:20,057
baby, what are we doing?
847
00:40:22,694 --> 00:40:25,329
I do trust you, though.
848
00:40:25,330 --> 00:40:26,831
Warren, come on, man.
849
00:40:26,832 --> 00:40:30,267
Ju... stop, stop all that.
850
00:40:31,970 --> 00:40:33,904
I trust you, all right?
851
00:40:35,807 --> 00:40:38,609
This is a lot. And-and my...
852
00:40:38,610 --> 00:40:41,612
My family, we got to
keep it under wraps.
853
00:40:43,982 --> 00:40:45,983
My father has a serious brain injury
854
00:40:45,984 --> 00:40:49,687
and he, he don't really
remember us too much
855
00:40:49,688 --> 00:40:52,556
and he doesn't really remember himself.
856
00:40:57,896 --> 00:41:00,264
Come here.
857
00:41:04,703 --> 00:41:06,036
(kisses)
858
00:41:17,616 --> 00:41:19,316
(door closes)
859
00:41:21,253 --> 00:41:23,354
(spraying)
860
00:41:31,396 --> 00:41:34,131
Lucious, what are you doing?
861
00:41:35,634 --> 00:41:37,768
They're Bella's paints.
862
00:41:37,769 --> 00:41:39,970
(sighs) It relaxes me.
863
00:41:43,141 --> 00:41:45,209
(blows)
864
00:41:45,210 --> 00:41:47,678
(spraying continues)
865
00:41:47,679 --> 00:41:50,814
All right, I'll leave you to it.
866
00:41:53,919 --> 00:41:56,020
(Lucious panting)
867
00:42:03,295 --> 00:42:06,330
Lucious, um...
868
00:42:07,933 --> 00:42:10,267
The reason why I was gone for 17 years
869
00:42:10,268 --> 00:42:13,003
is because I was in prison.
870
00:42:21,546 --> 00:42:24,415
Was it because of me?
871
00:42:25,917 --> 00:42:29,053
Women back then, who were in prison,
872
00:42:29,054 --> 00:42:31,221
they just complained
about how they were there
873
00:42:31,222 --> 00:42:34,024
because of their men. (chuckles)
874
00:42:35,994 --> 00:42:39,596
Yeah, Lucious, it's because of you.
875
00:42:44,135 --> 00:42:46,136
Good night.
876
00:42:46,137 --> 00:42:49,440
Um, Cookie.
877
00:42:49,441 --> 00:42:53,310
I'd like to hear about it.
