1
00:00:00,016 --> 00:00:01,476
Previously on Empire...
2
00:00:01,539 --> 00:00:04,172
I want you to write a
song for Angelo's campaign
3
00:00:04,197 --> 00:00:06,064
and perform it at the Captain's Ball.
4
00:00:06,133 --> 00:00:08,667
He had a DUI some 20 years ago.
5
00:00:08,736 --> 00:00:10,903
His family pulled some strings
and got him out of that.
6
00:00:10,971 --> 00:00:11,970
Why you got shades on?
7
00:00:12,039 --> 00:00:13,572
Boy, are you high?
8
00:00:13,641 --> 00:00:15,174
Poor Tariq, he's jealous
9
00:00:15,242 --> 00:00:16,575
of everything you got,
10
00:00:16,644 --> 00:00:19,144
especially your memories of your daddy.
11
00:00:19,213 --> 00:00:20,442
That's Freda Gatz.
12
00:00:20,467 --> 00:00:23,315
You know, her father was locked
up with Lucious at the BCC.
13
00:00:23,384 --> 00:00:26,939
Seems "MM" and "BK" must have done
something for Lucious and got paid.
14
00:00:26,964 --> 00:00:29,204
The question is, who is "MM" and "BK"?
15
00:00:30,314 --> 00:00:32,314
And as your mayor,
16
00:00:32,383 --> 00:00:35,306
I will not only go to
sleep fighting for you,
17
00:00:35,331 --> 00:00:37,728
I'm gonna wake up fighting for you.
18
00:00:37,753 --> 00:00:39,024
You're in Queens, brah.
19
00:00:39,049 --> 00:00:40,749
You can't piss on my
leg, tell me it's raining.
20
00:00:40,774 --> 00:00:42,532
You come down here for a photo op,
21
00:00:42,557 --> 00:00:44,342
then you limbo your bougie
ass back across the river
22
00:00:44,367 --> 00:00:45,805
for some uptown fundraiser.
23
00:00:45,830 --> 00:00:47,662
Shut him down, Angelo.
24
00:00:47,731 --> 00:00:49,798
He can't because he's telling the truth.
25
00:00:49,866 --> 00:00:51,776
- Okay...
- I got, I got it, babe.
26
00:00:51,801 --> 00:00:54,003
How y'all doing?
27
00:00:54,192 --> 00:00:56,726
The name's Cookie. Ask about me.
28
00:00:56,751 --> 00:00:58,785
- We know you.
- Oh, you do?
29
00:00:58,810 --> 00:01:00,376
- Cookie Lyon.
- That's right.
30
00:01:00,401 --> 00:01:01,600
Where's Lucious?
31
00:01:01,625 --> 00:01:03,570
Oh, forget about Lucious, baby.
32
00:01:03,595 --> 00:01:05,028
I'm with him now.
33
00:01:06,305 --> 00:01:07,852
Look here, y'all,
34
00:01:07,877 --> 00:01:11,133
I-I'm just an around-the-way
girl from the hood
35
00:01:11,202 --> 00:01:12,930
in North Philly.
36
00:01:12,955 --> 00:01:15,329
It looks almost like this one, but...
37
00:01:15,473 --> 00:01:17,473
except for your bougie-ass beach.
38
00:01:18,810 --> 00:01:20,445
Look, my daddy was a plumber
39
00:01:20,470 --> 00:01:22,470
and we lived check to check,
40
00:01:22,556 --> 00:01:25,014
so I wouldn't be with this man
41
00:01:25,083 --> 00:01:26,682
if he wasn't the real deal.
42
00:01:26,751 --> 00:01:29,618
If he wasn't a man of the people.
43
00:01:29,643 --> 00:01:30,852
Man of the people!
44
00:01:30,877 --> 00:01:32,345
And so what, he went to Columbia?
45
00:01:32,370 --> 00:01:33,990
That makes him smart.
46
00:01:34,058 --> 00:01:38,060
But he still lives in the same
fifth floor walk-up in Harlem.
47
00:01:38,129 --> 00:01:41,330
Now you try walking up five
flights in these heels, baby.
48
00:01:43,568 --> 00:01:45,688
Hey, what about the Captain's Ball?
49
00:01:45,860 --> 00:01:47,003
"The Captain's Ball"?
50
00:01:47,071 --> 00:01:49,696
Yeah, well, we-we know there's a problem
51
00:01:49,780 --> 00:01:51,413
with the Captain's Ball,
52
00:01:51,438 --> 00:01:54,444
uh, that's why we've,
um, decided to hold it
53
00:01:54,512 --> 00:01:58,047
right here in the streets
with you guys, with the people.
54
00:01:58,116 --> 00:01:59,282
Tell them, Angelo!
55
00:01:59,350 --> 00:02:01,830
Yes, hell yes!
56
00:02:01,855 --> 00:02:04,109
And we're going to call
it the People's Ball.
57
00:02:04,134 --> 00:02:05,797
That's right, baby.
58
00:02:05,822 --> 00:02:08,858
The People's Ball,
and you're all invited!
59
00:02:08,927 --> 00:02:12,094
And my son, Jamal Lyon,
will be headlining.
60
00:02:13,884 --> 00:02:15,784
Angelo Dubois for mayor!
61
00:02:15,852 --> 00:02:17,118
We'll see you then.
62
00:02:17,187 --> 00:02:19,157
Thank you.
63
00:02:20,087 --> 00:02:22,357
- See y'all at the People's Ball.
- People's Ball.
64
00:02:22,426 --> 00:02:25,527
500 major donors have
pledged to this event.
65
00:02:25,595 --> 00:02:26,954
Just invite them all here.
66
00:02:26,979 --> 00:02:28,446
Yeah, it's too late to pull out now.
67
00:02:28,471 --> 00:02:29,831
We've committed in front
of all these cameras.
68
00:02:29,856 --> 00:02:32,834
There is not enough time. You
need permits, tents and security.
69
00:02:32,903 --> 00:02:35,048
And who is gonna produce
this street bazaar?
70
00:02:35,073 --> 00:02:36,517
Well...
71
00:02:36,542 --> 00:02:38,512
Cookie's the name. All right.
72
00:02:38,537 --> 00:02:39,581
Bye-bye, baby.
73
00:02:39,606 --> 00:02:41,942
You're getting a little
too local, darling.
74
00:02:42,212 --> 00:02:43,957
Just a little too local.
75
00:02:43,982 --> 00:02:46,238
Oh, Mother.
76

Jamal, you just fell off the stage.
85
00:03:11,808 --> 00:03:13,628
All right.
86
00:03:13,653 --> 00:03:14,808
Look, babe,
87
00:03:14,833 --> 00:03:17,191
now the tape marks the edges
of the stage at the Waldorf,
88
00:03:17,216 --> 00:03:18,316
just follow your key
light and don't go past it.
89
00:03:18,341 --> 00:03:20,457
Seriously, Derek, like I don't
know what the damn tape means?
90
00:03:20,482 --> 00:03:23,017
Come on, man. I messed up, I'm sorry.
91
00:03:23,086 --> 00:03:24,574
Yeah, but it's gonna
be your little booty
92
00:03:24,599 --> 00:03:26,098
that gets busted up, not mine.
93
00:03:26,123 --> 00:03:28,722
I don't even know what the hell
I'm doing this Captain's Ball for.
94
00:03:28,747 --> 00:03:30,042
Why you're doing it?
95
00:03:30,067 --> 00:03:31,472
You're doing it to remind everyone
96
00:03:31,497 --> 00:03:33,558
that you're the dopest in the world.
97
00:03:34,277 --> 00:03:35,535
All right, hey, quiet.
98
00:03:35,560 --> 00:03:36,956
- Well, well, look at the little pimp,
- Let's...
99
00:03:36,981 --> 00:03:39,910
ready to take the stage, like a ho.
100
00:03:39,935 --> 00:03:41,074
How you feeling?
101
00:03:41,099 --> 00:03:42,730
Amazing, thank you, Philip.
102
00:03:42,755 --> 00:03:44,019
- Of course.
- Yeah.
103
00:03:44,410 --> 00:03:47,400
Listen, don't you think you might
want to do a couple of smaller venues
104
00:03:47,432 --> 00:03:50,902
before jumping onto some kind
of stage of this magnitude?
105
00:03:52,816 --> 00:03:55,246
- Thanks for your concern, Dad.
- Well, it's genuine...
106
00:03:55,271 --> 00:03:57,878
but here, I got a little advice for you.
107
00:03:57,903 --> 00:04:00,221
If you planning on doing
some of them trash ass,
108
00:04:00,246 --> 00:04:02,174
airing out the family
laundry or something,
109
00:04:02,199 --> 00:04:05,675
you'd be better off taking a handful
of them damn pills all at once
110
00:04:06,035 --> 00:04:07,553
and take a permanent dirt nap
111
00:04:07,597 --> 00:04:09,785
and I'll see you in the next lifetime.
112
00:04:10,433 --> 00:04:12,136
I'm off my meds.
113
00:04:12,314 --> 00:04:13,613
Good.
114
00:04:15,272 --> 00:04:16,863
- Let's go.
- All right.
115
00:04:16,888 --> 00:04:18,144
All right, from the top.
116
00:04:19,976 --> 00:04:21,876
So, Rockaway Beach, day after tomorrow?
117
00:04:21,945 --> 00:04:23,478
Yes, thank you.
118
00:04:23,547 --> 00:04:25,146
Ooh, Alonzo, I owe you, baby.
119
00:04:25,215 --> 00:04:26,456
Yeah.
120
00:04:26,481 --> 00:04:28,750
I got to go, but I
owe you big time, okay?
121
00:04:28,819 --> 00:04:31,175
I got you, all right, okay, bye-bye.
122
00:04:31,200 --> 00:04:32,566
Porsha!
123
00:04:32,591 --> 00:04:34,214
Yes, girl.
124
00:04:35,458 --> 00:04:37,829
Oh, I thought you was Porsha.
125
00:04:37,854 --> 00:04:39,421
What the hell you want, Lucious?
126
00:04:39,446 --> 00:04:40,977
I want to talk to you.
127
00:04:41,002 --> 00:04:42,321
About?
128
00:04:43,733 --> 00:04:45,977
This People Ball thing.
129
00:04:47,838 --> 00:04:49,904
Look, you sure you can
pull this thing off?
130
00:04:49,973 --> 00:04:52,657
Well, I didn't do too bad
with that Free Lucious concert
131
00:04:52,682 --> 00:04:54,386
that helped save your janky ass.
132
00:04:54,411 --> 00:04:58,015
Yeah, that's 'cause you're the
baddest producer in the damn game.
133
00:04:58,040 --> 00:04:59,514
Truth is I really do hope
134
00:04:59,583 --> 00:05:03,344
that the whole thing
is a smashing success.
135
00:05:03,407 --> 00:05:06,921
It's about time New York
had a black mayor again.
136
00:05:08,907 --> 00:05:12,727
Well, the lineup is a who's
who of our top artists.
137
00:05:12,752 --> 00:05:15,836
I'm gonna start with
a Hakeem and Tiana duet
138
00:05:16,233 --> 00:05:20,063
and Jamal is going to be epic.
139
00:05:20,192 --> 00:05:22,079
Or an epic fail.
140
00:05:22,649 --> 00:05:24,891
Don't you think it's a
little early to be putting him
141
00:05:24,916 --> 00:05:27,790
on a stage in front of
an uncontrolled crowd?
142
00:05:27,815 --> 00:05:31,008
I mean, something like this could
push him all the way over, Cook.
143
00:05:31,696 --> 00:05:34,040
Am I to believe that
"father of the year"
144
00:05:34,065 --> 00:05:36,430
is suddenly worried about his son?
145
00:05:37,766 --> 00:05:39,211
Look...
146
00:05:39,405 --> 00:05:41,839
truth is, I just don't
want you to make the mistake
147
00:05:41,864 --> 00:05:44,797
of-of-of putting the needs of
your boyfriend's campaign...
148
00:05:45,932 --> 00:05:48,028
ahead of the needs of our son's health.
149
00:05:48,064 --> 00:05:49,731
That's it. I know you, Cook.
150
00:05:49,943 --> 00:05:51,510
You go all in.
151
00:05:51,784 --> 00:05:55,182
But if this goes terribly
wrong for Jamal, and it could,
152
00:05:55,253 --> 00:05:58,698
you are going to hate yourself forever.

I'll get right to it, Your Honor.
162
00:06:17,368 --> 00:06:19,679
What you just saw is authorized
FBI surveillance video of rapper
163
00:06:19,704 --> 00:06:22,607
Freda Gatz aka Freda Gathers,
daughter of Frank Gathers.
164
00:06:22,632 --> 00:06:24,699
The drug kingpin who was
chopped up in prison last year.
165
00:06:24,768 --> 00:06:26,234
Yeah, in those rap lyrics,
166
00:06:26,303 --> 00:06:28,406
she referred to two men
who worked for her father.
167
00:06:28,431 --> 00:06:31,447
Both were with him in Brooklyn
Correctional when he was murdered.
168
00:06:31,540 --> 00:06:33,650
Agent Cousins, if you're hoping
to get a murder indictment
169
00:06:33,675 --> 00:06:34,750
based on rap lyrics...
170
00:06:34,775 --> 00:06:37,912
This is an e-mail that leaked in
the Empire hack a few weeks ago.
171
00:06:37,981 --> 00:06:40,348
Uh, it mentions cash payoffs
to the families of two men
172
00:06:40,417 --> 00:06:42,283
identified only by their initials,
173
00:06:42,352 --> 00:06:43,729
"MM" and "BK"...
174
00:06:43,761 --> 00:06:47,103
Now, we weren't able to I.D. them until
Gatz's lyrics filled in the blanks.
175
00:06:47,128 --> 00:06:48,698
"MM" is Mikey Moses,
176
00:06:48,723 --> 00:06:50,697
BK is Bobby "Bam Bam" King.
177
00:06:50,722 --> 00:06:52,694
If you're implying that
the Gathers hit was paid for
178
00:06:52,762 --> 00:06:54,429
with Empire money,
get to the who already.
179
00:06:54,497 --> 00:06:57,131
Yes, Judge Chae, I give you
the only man with the money,
180
00:06:57,200 --> 00:06:59,051
the muscle and the
motive to pull it off,
181
00:06:59,076 --> 00:07:00,683
Lucious Lyon.
182
00:07:03,776 --> 00:07:05,181
Well...
183
00:07:05,206 --> 00:07:07,355
I've got a football game to go to, so...
184
00:07:07,380 --> 00:07:11,379
I'll sign a court order freezing
Empire's assets for 30 days.
185
00:07:11,690 --> 00:07:13,548
It'll be up to you to
gather enough evidence
186
00:07:13,616 --> 00:07:17,276
to bring about a federal murder
indictment against Lucious Lyon.
187
00:07:19,823 --> 00:07:22,454
This smells personal, Agent Cousins.
188
00:07:22,479 --> 00:07:24,089
- It better not be.
- No, I assure you, sir,
189
00:07:24,114 --> 00:07:26,206
I'm just trying to bring a
dangerous criminal to justice.
190
00:07:26,267 --> 00:07:27,589
Hmm.
191
00:07:41,126 --> 00:07:43,322
- You got your ticket?
- Here you go.
192
00:07:51,689 --> 00:07:54,915
I thought I felt a
certain chill in the air.
193
00:07:55,337 --> 00:07:59,189
So, you're unhappy about my
son's relationship with your ex.
194
00:08:00,603 --> 00:08:04,432
Cookie and I have what you call history.
195
00:08:04,860 --> 00:08:06,267
We share three sons.
196
00:08:06,336 --> 00:08:08,587
She's the co-chair of my company.
197
00:08:08,751 --> 00:08:10,462
So I watch her back.
198
00:08:11,007 --> 00:08:12,493
But, lady...
199
00:08:13,245 --> 00:08:15,024
don't ever try to read me.
200
00:08:15,165 --> 00:08:16,844
I would never.
201
00:08:16,913 --> 00:08:20,345
I read books, not graffiti.
202
00:08:21,689 --> 00:08:25,787
But here you are asking
me to bust up Cookie
203
00:08:25,812 --> 00:08:28,977
and your little... cupcake?
204
00:08:29,002 --> 00:08:31,110
I have no doubt that you
would have done that already
205
00:08:31,135 --> 00:08:33,401
if it were in your power to do so. No.
206
00:08:33,713 --> 00:08:37,181
Our campaign has a bigger
problem than Cookie Lyon.
207
00:08:37,206 --> 00:08:39,516
Are you familiar with Edison Cruz?
208
00:08:39,541 --> 00:08:42,503
He's planning to publish a story
on the eve of our Captain's Ball
209
00:08:42,528 --> 00:08:44,784
that could cost us the election.
210
00:08:46,048 --> 00:08:47,514
Is it true?
211
00:08:48,865 --> 00:08:51,578
There's always a droplet of truth,
212
00:08:51,661 --> 00:08:53,398
but once that droplet hits the water,
213
00:08:53,423 --> 00:08:54,945
it turns into a tidal wave.
214
00:08:54,970 --> 00:08:58,156
I'd like to see that evaporate
before that can occur.
215
00:08:58,882 --> 00:09:00,860
See, this is what's funny to me.
216
00:09:00,929 --> 00:09:03,023
This is the history of America.
217
00:09:03,101 --> 00:09:04,750
Rich snobs like you,
218
00:09:04,775 --> 00:09:07,102
that I could burp their net worth,
219
00:09:07,127 --> 00:09:09,026
asking men like me
220
00:09:09,071 --> 00:09:11,571
to do things that you
lack the courage to do.
221
00:09:11,874 --> 00:09:14,546
Well, now that isn't really
the history of America,
222
00:09:14,571 --> 00:09:16,428
but we can talk about
that at a later date.
223
00:09:16,453 --> 00:09:19,226
I need to know if you can
persuade him to back off.
224
00:09:19,251 --> 00:09:22,082
Well, I'm very gifted
at the art of persuasion,
225
00:09:22,757 --> 00:09:25,749
but what's in it for me, huh?
226
00:09:25,954 --> 00:09:30,320
Well, I could end Cookie's romance.
227
00:09:31,257 --> 00:09:33,218
I know my son's hot buttons
228
00:09:33,243 --> 00:09:36,031
and if I press them,
she will be incinerated.
229
00:09:36,056 --> 00:09:37,222
"Incinerated"?
230
00:09:37,247 --> 00:09:38,512
Poof.
231
00:09:47,919 --> 00:09:49,185
Anika.
232
00:09:49,559 --> 00:09:50,753
Hmm?
233
00:09:50,965 --> 00:09:53,932
What did I tell you about
never being in my bed
234
00:09:53,957 --> 00:09:56,058
when I wake up in the morning?
235
00:09:56,996 --> 00:09:58,221
Hmm?
236
00:09:58,262 --> 00:10:00,863
Yeah, whatever.
237
00:10:00,932 --> 00:10:03,366
Your little friend didn't
seem to mind too much.
238
00:10:03,434 --> 00:10:05,801
Ah, you weren't calling
him little last night.
239
00:10:09,418 --> 00:10:11,277
Why don't you say hello?
240
00:10:11,668 --> 00:10:13,940
- You are so nasty.
- Please.
241
00:10:13,965 --> 00:10:15,197
- I'm not going...
- Please!
242
00:10:15,266 --> 00:10:17,386
Don't make me make you.
243
00:10:17,669 --> 00:10:20,011
You stupid.
244
00:10:20,972 --> 00:10:22,590
Yes.
245
00:10:25,215 --> 00:10:26,761
Okay.
246
00:10:31,543 --> 00:10:32,769
Ma!
247
00:10:33,933 --> 00:10:35,399
What are you doing?
248
00:10:36,794 --> 00:10:38,275
The same thing she's doing.
249
00:10:38,300 --> 00:10:40,158
But I'm sucking the dirt out of the rug.
250
00:10:40,183 --> 00:10:41,583
Okay, you know what?
251
00:10:41,651 --> 00:10:43,949
I am not doing this, Lucious!
252
00:10:44,262 --> 00:10:46,229
Okay, you got a choice, all right?
253
00:10:46,254 --> 00:10:47,999
It's either me and Bella
254
00:10:48,024 --> 00:10:49,972
or your crazy-ass momma.
255
00:10:50,599 --> 00:10:52,113
So you decide.
256
00:10:52,347 --> 00:10:54,339
I'm not going anywhere.
257
00:10:54,364 --> 00:10:55,847
Yeah, we'll see about that.
258
00:10:56,339 --> 00:10:58,191
Mom.
259
00:11:07,280 --> 00:11:08,983
Look.
260
00:11:09,165 --> 00:11:11,031
I have seen what bullets can do,
261
00:11:11,056 --> 00:11:13,631
so I know your guts are torn up, Jamal.
262
00:11:14,006 --> 00:11:16,718
But I don't want you
backsliding because of that pain.
263
00:11:16,787 --> 00:11:18,640
Ma, I'm straight, all right?
264
00:11:19,755 --> 00:11:21,616
What, Lucious get in your head?
265
00:11:23,655 --> 00:11:24,793
Of course he did.
266
00:11:24,861 --> 00:11:27,015
'Cause if I don't get back
on that stage, then he wins.
267
00:11:27,040 --> 00:11:29,826
No and I want you to
win. I want us to win.
268
00:11:29,851 --> 00:11:31,640
But not at the expense of your health.
269
00:11:31,665 --> 00:11:33,532
I wouldn't be able to live with myself.
270
00:11:33,557 --> 00:11:35,015
I'm all right.
271
00:11:35,872 --> 00:11:38,155
Completely off the pills, I'm good.
272
00:11:39,460 --> 00:11:41,242
Good, that's good to hear.
273
00:11:41,311 --> 00:11:43,111
Then you can give 'em to me, then.
274
00:11:43,180 --> 00:11:44,445
- Give you what?
- Give me what?
275
00:11:44,514 --> 00:11:46,514
The pills, boy. Don't act stupid.
276
00:11:48,124 --> 00:11:50,241
- All right, Mom.
- Yeah, all right, you off,
277
00:11:50,304 --> 00:11:52,062
done, give 'em to me.
278
00:11:52,087 --> 00:11:54,218
I mean all of them. Don't
make me come back there.
279
00:11:54,243 --> 00:11:55,866
I will ransack this place.
280
00:11:55,891 --> 00:11:57,249
You ain't ransacking no place.
281
00:11:57,274 --> 00:11:59,123
Yes I would. Don't play with me.
282
00:11:59,148 --> 00:12:00,820
That's everything?
283
00:12:10,874 --> 00:12:12,540
I know you got some in your purse.
284
00:12:12,609 --> 00:12:14,042
- It's a murse.
- Don't play with me, boy,
285
00:12:14,067 --> 00:12:15,492
This is not funny.
286
00:12:20,490 --> 00:12:22,023
Is that it?
287
00:12:24,960 --> 00:12:26,187
- Boy!
- Ma, come on, all right...
288
00:12:26,220 --> 00:12:28,323
Oh, come on! You come on!
289
00:12:30,000 --> 00:12:31,922
Yeah, all right, my ass.
290
00:12:40,579 --> 00:12:42,112
That's everything.
291
00:12:49,801 --> 00:12:52,676
You gonna get your ass on that stage,
292
00:12:52,855 --> 00:12:55,207
and you gonna perform.
293
00:12:55,752 --> 00:12:57,799
You gonna perform your ass off.
294
00:12:57,824 --> 00:12:59,854
You gonna perform like
you've never performed before
295
00:12:59,923 --> 00:13:01,389
and you gonna do it
296
00:13:01,458 --> 00:13:04,473
clean and sober.
297
00:13:21,110 --> 00:13:22,954
Sure you don't want
another drink, Edison?
298
00:13:22,979 --> 00:13:24,133
Ah,
299
00:13:24,158 --> 00:13:27,126
I'll have the crooked
politician, filleted.
300
00:13:28,621 --> 00:13:30,922
You are really not a fan of his.
301
00:13:30,969 --> 00:13:33,554
Angelo Dubois skates 'cause he's black.
302
00:13:33,623 --> 00:13:34,856
If it wasn't for the color of his skin,
303
00:13:34,925 --> 00:13:36,891
he would never have a chance
of being elected mayor.
304
00:13:36,960 --> 00:13:39,547
Yeah, I know, this black privilege.
305
00:13:39,572 --> 00:13:41,501
All us Negros, running around here
306
00:13:41,526 --> 00:13:43,055
getting everything handed to us
307
00:13:43,080 --> 00:13:44,576
because of the color of our skin.
308
00:13:44,601 --> 00:13:45,700
You said it.
309
00:13:47,604 --> 00:13:50,538

What did he just say?

00:14:45,829 --> 00:14:47,528
He is talking about...
338
00:14:47,597 --> 00:14:51,124
how some men can inspire such
loyalty in their soldiers,
339
00:14:51,149 --> 00:14:53,579
that they'll do anything for them...
340
00:14:53,604 --> 00:14:56,514
kidnap, maim, murder.
341
00:14:56,539 --> 00:14:57,839
Is that a threat?
342
00:14:57,907 --> 00:14:59,273
No, it's a song.
343
00:14:59,342 --> 00:15:02,477
You see, rap is a reflection
of reality, Edison.
344
00:15:02,545 --> 00:15:05,618
See, that man is speaking
about a special power that
345
00:15:05,643 --> 00:15:08,244
has the ability to humble a man.
346
00:15:08,572 --> 00:15:11,361
Especially when the streets
come kicking down his front door,
347
00:15:11,386 --> 00:15:12,487
you know what I'm saying?
348
00:15:12,515 --> 00:15:14,954
So, the black gangster
349
00:15:15,190 --> 00:15:17,908
is trying to intimidate a
journalist for telling the truth.
350
00:15:17,933 --> 00:15:21,415
No, I'm an advocate for
truth and good government.
351
00:15:21,440 --> 00:15:24,365
I just hate to see our
city's mayoral campaign
352
00:15:24,434 --> 00:15:28,986
sullied by tawdry,
unsubstantiated allegations.
353
00:15:29,345 --> 00:15:33,282
Angelo Dubois will never
be mayor of this city.
354
00:15:33,603 --> 00:15:36,134
But that's no longer your choice, is it?
355
00:15:36,807 --> 00:15:38,204
♪ Get 'em now ♪
356
00:15:40,915 --> 00:15:42,938
Well, it appears that Mr. Cruz
357
00:15:42,963 --> 00:15:44,906
was easily persuaded that
358
00:15:44,931 --> 00:15:48,406
slanderous article he was
about to publish on your son,
359
00:15:48,431 --> 00:15:50,264
Angelo... have a seat...
360
00:15:50,348 --> 00:15:51,900
would not be in his best interests,
361
00:15:51,925 --> 00:15:53,878
seeing it wouldn't
hold up under scrutiny.
362
00:15:53,903 --> 00:15:56,423
Oh, that's an enormous relief.
363
00:15:56,506 --> 00:15:58,898
Probably shouldn't ask how
you managed to persuade him.
364
00:16:00,009 --> 00:16:02,773
You know, the same way I won't ask how
365
00:16:02,798 --> 00:16:05,446
you fulfill your end of the bargain.
366
00:16:05,611 --> 00:16:07,953
Yes, that.
367
00:16:07,987 --> 00:16:10,009
Well, uh, Lucious,
368
00:16:11,954 --> 00:16:15,798
this is a report from our pollster.
369
00:16:16,306 --> 00:16:17,790
Until a few days ago,
370
00:16:17,815 --> 00:16:21,064
we were running consistently
five points behind John Meeks,
371
00:16:21,089 --> 00:16:23,008
then Angelo's numbers spiked,
372
00:16:23,033 --> 00:16:24,366
now he's two points ahead,
373
00:16:24,435 --> 00:16:26,635
and research says it's Cookie.
374
00:16:26,704 --> 00:16:27,669
Cookie?
375
00:16:27,738 --> 00:16:29,259
She resonates with the voters.
376
00:16:29,284 --> 00:16:32,704
It seems she humanizes Angelo
and lands some street cred.
377
00:16:33,259 --> 00:16:35,177
They're calling it "The Cookie Effect."
378
00:16:36,339 --> 00:16:38,714
So, does this mean that
you're backing out of the deal
379
00:16:38,782 --> 00:16:40,349
after I fulfilled my side of it?
380
00:16:40,417 --> 00:16:41,950
I don't see where I
have a choice, really,
381
00:16:42,019 --> 00:16:44,653
but I will make it up
to you, somehow, I mean.
382
00:16:44,722 --> 00:16:48,086
Um, that, um... that zoning issue?
383
00:16:48,111 --> 00:16:50,225
- I could promise you it'll be on the...
- Nah.
384
00:16:50,294 --> 00:16:51,954
This ain't right.
385
00:16:52,018 --> 00:16:53,915
This ain't fair.
386
00:16:54,962 --> 00:16:56,498
What can I do?
387
00:16:57,013 --> 00:16:58,179
What do you want?
388
00:16:58,204 --> 00:16:59,447
An ambassadorship?
389
00:16:59,472 --> 00:17:01,384
Invitation to a State dinner?
390
00:17:02,596 --> 00:17:05,731
Diana, can you imagine
391
00:17:06,079 --> 00:17:08,782
the number of State
dinners I've gone to?
392
00:17:09,744 --> 00:17:11,267
We had a deal.
393
00:17:13,884 --> 00:17:16,485
But I did initially
decide to help Angelo
394
00:17:16,553 --> 00:17:19,634
because I thought New
York deserved a good mayor.
395
00:17:20,009 --> 00:17:22,689
So why don't I make this
396
00:17:23,288 --> 00:17:26,517
my own personal
contribution to his campaign.
397
00:17:34,380 --> 00:17:35,618
Dre?
398
00:17:38,619 --> 00:17:40,619
Dre, are you okay?
399
00:17:45,099 --> 00:17:46,901
Andre, you're scaring me.
400
00:17:56,126 --> 00:17:58,139
I have bipolar disorder.
401
00:17:59,530 --> 00:18:01,467
It's a mental illness,
402
00:18:02,098 --> 00:18:04,592
marked by periods of depression,
403
00:18:05,256 --> 00:18:07,202
and periods of elevated mood.
404
00:18:07,271 --> 00:18:08,747
I know what it is, Dre.
405
00:18:10,778 --> 00:18:12,503
What did your wife do?
406
00:18:12,528 --> 00:18:14,957
She took care of me when
I couldn't get out of bed.
407
00:18:14,982 --> 00:18:17,294
She managed my medication.
408
00:18:19,175 --> 00:18:21,942
She kept me under control.
409
00:18:24,084 --> 00:18:26,221
That's intense, Andre, but...
410
00:18:26,524 --> 00:18:28,834
I'm not gonna do any
of those things for you.
411
00:18:32,010 --> 00:18:33,854
You don't want me anymore.
412
00:18:36,217 --> 00:18:39,418
I want you to learn how to do
these things for yourself, Dre.
413
00:18:41,470 --> 00:18:43,276
And I'm not going anywhere.
414
00:19:01,325 --> 00:19:05,295
She's trying to take
you away from me, Andre.
415
00:19:11,484 --> 00:19:13,335
"When they got me,
416
00:19:13,404 --> 00:19:15,170
"it wasn't at the end of a gun,
417
00:19:15,239 --> 00:19:17,709
it was with the stroke of a pen."
418
00:19:17,734 --> 00:19:20,475
- Al Capone said that.
- I don't care who said it.
419
00:19:20,544 --> 00:19:22,177
I need to know what's going on, Lucious.
420
00:19:22,246 --> 00:19:24,226
Why can't I use my credit cards?
421
00:19:24,251 --> 00:19:27,059
'Cause the feds have put a
freeze on all of our assets.
422
00:19:27,084 --> 00:19:28,350
Well, that mean they got something!
423
00:19:28,419 --> 00:19:30,886
- Somebody snitched!
- No, not necessarily.
424
00:19:30,954 --> 00:19:33,490
Look, why don't you
just relax and stay calm.
425
00:19:33,515 --> 00:19:35,099
'Cause the only people
that know about this
426
00:19:35,124 --> 00:19:36,709
- is me and Thirsty.

00:19:36,734 --> 00:19:38,193
I did 17 years!
428
00:19:38,262 --> 00:19:39,628
Calm down.
429
00:19:39,696 --> 00:19:42,926
Look, I got this whole
world on lock right now.
430
00:19:42,951 --> 00:19:46,018
And I promise nothing will
ever happen to you again.
431
00:19:47,972 --> 00:19:49,572
That was that look.
432
00:19:50,692 --> 00:19:52,726
You just reminded me...
433
00:19:53,635 --> 00:19:55,577
you were so bold.

So, if there is a rat,

00:20:42,243 --> 00:20:45,578
we're gonna send him a nice
little Colombian necktie, okay?
447
00:20:46,968 --> 00:20:48,554
Okay.
448
00:20:48,800 --> 00:20:50,033
Trust me.
449
00:20:52,882 --> 00:20:54,545
What's all this cash from?
450
00:20:54,570 --> 00:20:55,769
You slanging again?
451
00:20:55,869 --> 00:20:57,210
It's... Look.
452
00:20:57,235 --> 00:20:58,585
It's for the People's Ball.
453
00:20:58,654 --> 00:21:00,132
All of the accounts are frozen,
454
00:21:00,157 --> 00:21:02,310
I got to pay the vendors somehow.
455
00:21:02,335 --> 00:21:06,913
Angelo Dubois is just another
opportunistic politician...
456
00:21:07,012 --> 00:21:10,114
with... that got skeletons
in his closet, Cookie.
457
00:21:12,391 --> 00:21:15,156
Okay, just looking out for you.
458
00:21:15,181 --> 00:21:17,248
Okay, thank you.
459
00:21:26,440 --> 00:21:27,937
What do you mean he's on his way up?
460
00:21:27,962 --> 00:21:29,749
He just cleared security, sir.
461
00:21:38,110 --> 00:21:39,843
You want me?
462
00:21:42,570 --> 00:21:43,900
Here I am.
463
00:21:47,961 --> 00:21:49,161
You come in here to make a confession?
464
00:21:49,229 --> 00:21:50,395
'Cause I don't need showmanship.
465
00:21:50,464 --> 00:21:53,154
You send errand boys with calculators
466
00:21:53,179 --> 00:21:57,187
to take the food out of the
mouths of my employees' children.
467
00:21:57,648 --> 00:21:59,562
I think I know what you want,
468
00:21:59,631 --> 00:22:01,567
but you're going about it like a coward.
469
00:22:01,592 --> 00:22:03,625
What I want is justice.
470
00:22:08,085 --> 00:22:09,484
Wow.
471
00:22:09,623 --> 00:22:11,413
Fear of black people, huh?
472
00:22:16,479 --> 00:22:17,880
This belonged to our father.
473
00:22:19,791 --> 00:22:21,791
- His father?
- Is he saying they're related?
474
00:22:21,816 --> 00:22:23,493
Oh, he never told y'all.
475
00:22:23,518 --> 00:22:26,584
Agent Cousins never told
y'all that we're brothers.
476
00:22:30,033 --> 00:22:32,523
Our father was a Philadelphia cop.
477
00:22:32,592 --> 00:22:34,859
He was a good man.
478
00:22:34,928 --> 00:22:37,587
He made one mistake and
he was murdered for that,
479
00:22:37,612 --> 00:22:38,963
and that mistake was you.
480
00:22:39,032 --> 00:22:41,096
His bastard son.
481
00:22:41,368 --> 00:22:44,002
But as he died in a Philadelphia street,
482
00:22:44,070 --> 00:22:47,438
he made me promise to
look after my brother,
483
00:22:47,463 --> 00:22:49,643
but he never told me your name.
484
00:22:50,041 --> 00:22:53,711
I know you want to own something
that belonged to our father.
485
00:22:58,051 --> 00:23:00,377
This ain't what brothers do.
486
00:23:15,201 --> 00:23:16,401
Everybody get back to work.
487
00:23:16,469 --> 00:23:19,036
You heard him. Back to work.
488
00:23:34,955 --> 00:23:36,225
Andre.
489
00:23:37,358 --> 00:23:39,155
Have you seen Jamal?
490
00:23:39,280 --> 00:23:41,859
- No, no, ma'am.
- Okay.
491
00:23:42,398 --> 00:23:43,546
Once you come down,
492
00:23:43,571 --> 00:23:44,965
you're just gonna go
right back that way and...
493
00:23:45,034 --> 00:23:47,444
- Becky, Becky, where's Jamal?
- Uh...
494
00:23:47,576 --> 00:23:49,257
Oh, he's still at his apartment.
495
00:23:49,282 --> 00:23:51,350
Oh, the car's been waiting
for, like, two hours.
496
00:23:51,375 --> 00:23:53,061
What? Okay, I'll be right back.
497
00:23:54,477 --> 00:23:56,210

I told him don't come
because him and Derek,
528
00:24:54,203 --> 00:24:55,436
they're always arguing.
529
00:24:55,505 --> 00:24:57,083
What happened? Did you take something?
530
00:24:57,108 --> 00:24:59,833
No, it's withdrawal.
531
00:24:59,921 --> 00:25:01,521
I've been throwing up and stuff.
532
00:25:01,546 --> 00:25:03,880
- I am calling 911.
- No, uh-uh.
533
00:25:04,007 --> 00:25:05,773
Can't have this out in the press.
534
00:25:06,015 --> 00:25:08,099
If you not gonna go to the hospital,
535
00:25:08,124 --> 00:25:10,388
- then I'm gonna call your doctor down.
- No.
536
00:25:11,004 --> 00:25:12,504
I just need my pills.
537
00:25:12,529 --> 00:25:14,544
- No.
- Please.
538
00:25:15,294 --> 00:25:17,333
It's the last time, I just got to...
539
00:25:17,358 --> 00:25:18,802
I got to get to the show, you know that.
540
00:25:18,827 --> 00:25:21,935
No, Jamal, I'm dead-ass, no.
541
00:25:22,779 --> 00:25:25,013
If I don't get there...
542
00:25:26,657 --> 00:25:28,310
if I don't get there, then Lucious wins.
543
00:25:28,335 --> 00:25:29,567
Lucious is not the enemy this time,
544
00:25:29,592 --> 00:25:30,957
he wants you to get better
just as much as I do.
545
00:25:30,982 --> 00:25:32,693
Lucious is the enemy, Ma,
546
00:25:32,718 --> 00:25:33,825
he is.
547
00:25:34,920 --> 00:25:36,320
Just please...
548
00:25:37,255 --> 00:25:40,482
You said it yourself, if I don't
get there, my career's over.
549
00:25:40,530 --> 00:25:42,697
It's over. Then what?
550
00:25:42,898 --> 00:25:44,896
I'm not gonna stand by and watch you
551
00:25:44,921 --> 00:25:46,854
become one of those pill-popping artists
552
00:25:46,879 --> 00:25:48,630
who dies alone in a motel.
553
00:25:48,655 --> 00:25:50,787
- Ma, I'm not some sort of addict!
- Not on my watch!
554
00:25:50,812 --> 00:25:52,161
Come on!
555
00:25:55,698 --> 00:25:57,665
Oh, God help me.
556
00:26:04,187 --> 00:26:05,344

557
00:26:05,369 --> 00:26:07,664

This arrangement's not working for me.
595
00:28:08,442 --> 00:28:11,543
Look, I got 99 problems,
Shine, what's up?
596
00:28:11,568 --> 00:28:13,915
Look, I got a discretionary
fund in my deal.
597
00:28:13,940 --> 00:28:15,740
Now I can't access the accounts.
598
00:28:15,765 --> 00:28:17,215
I've been paying for A-list producers
599
00:28:17,240 --> 00:28:19,145
out of my own pocket, man, what's up?
600
00:28:21,848 --> 00:28:24,652
Come here, I want to explain
something to you, Shine.
601
00:28:25,164 --> 00:28:26,397
Right now,
602
00:28:26,465 --> 00:28:28,473
Empire finds itself in the middle
603
00:28:28,498 --> 00:28:30,379
of a little cash flow problem.
604
00:28:30,404 --> 00:28:32,402
What kind of cash flow problem?
605
00:28:32,708 --> 00:28:34,106
Real talk?
606
00:28:34,722 --> 00:28:35,988
We got no liquid.
607
00:28:36,020 --> 00:28:38,176
While Empire buys out
a 30-day asset freeze
608
00:28:38,208 --> 00:28:41,206
by our buddies in the FBI, we're stuck.
609
00:28:41,231 --> 00:28:43,958
Damn, Lucious, how come you
didn't come to me for help?
610
00:28:45,584 --> 00:28:47,082
I mean, how much you need?
611
00:28:47,107 --> 00:28:48,770
Oh, you're gonna boss up like that
612
00:28:48,795 --> 00:28:51,645
and just burp out $50 million, man?
613
00:28:51,670 --> 00:28:53,004
I can raise it.
614
00:28:53,660 --> 00:28:55,418
Liquidate a few properties,
615
00:28:55,443 --> 00:28:57,110
barbershops, Laundromats,
616
00:28:57,135 --> 00:28:59,302
stuff me and Stone used
to buy back in the day.
617
00:28:59,403 --> 00:29:01,340
The rest of it's in cash.
618
00:29:01,606 --> 00:29:04,106
- Are you for real?
- Absolutely.
619
00:29:04,174 --> 00:29:07,009
I mean, being that we family
now and everything, right?
620
00:29:08,402 --> 00:29:10,946
All right, then what's
in it for you, man?
621
00:29:11,015 --> 00:29:12,957
I want a stake in Empire.
622
00:29:14,385 --> 00:29:15,793
A stake?
623
00:29:15,818 --> 00:29:17,621
Do you mean like rib eye,
624
00:29:17,646 --> 00:29:19,161
T-bone?
625
00:29:19,186 --> 00:29:20,934
Get the hell out of here, man.
626
00:29:21,065 --> 00:29:23,068
More like a seat at the table.
627
00:29:25,106 --> 00:29:26,918
Think about it.
628
00:29:32,870 --> 00:29:35,037
Well, let's think about it.
629
00:29:35,105 --> 00:29:37,339
Without the 50, you're
gonna have to unload assets
630
00:29:37,408 --> 00:29:39,341
and you're definitely
gonna lose Empire XStream.
631
00:29:39,410 --> 00:29:41,026
That's without question.
632
00:29:41,051 --> 00:29:43,245
But then again, letting
the wolf into the henhouse?
633
00:29:43,407 --> 00:29:46,346
That's going to lead to a
lot of blood and feathers.
634
00:29:48,485 --> 00:29:50,034

Isn't she right, shouldn't I
learn to take care of myself?
648
00:30:44,401 --> 00:30:46,542
Do you think you can do it?
649
00:30:49,058 --> 00:30:50,932
If you let me.
650
00:30:52,590 --> 00:30:55,979
I need you to let me go, Rhonda.
651
00:31:01,777 --> 00:31:05,066
You are the smartest...
652
00:31:06,207 --> 00:31:08,274
and most devoted...
653
00:31:08,499 --> 00:31:10,972
and most ruthless...
654
00:31:11,429 --> 00:31:13,504
of the Lyon sons.
655
00:31:14,705 --> 00:31:17,058
I'm the most ruthless.
656
00:31:20,482 --> 00:31:23,136
I'm doing what we planned with Nessa.
657
00:31:23,647 --> 00:31:26,379
I got her the Fashion Week
gig. I'm building her up.
658
00:31:26,817 --> 00:31:28,116
Just like we planned.
659
00:31:28,185 --> 00:31:30,363
Make her the biggest star.
660
00:31:30,574 --> 00:31:32,154
And then you'll control the music.
661
00:31:32,222 --> 00:31:35,590
And then you'll have all the power.
662
00:31:36,967 --> 00:31:38,863
I believe in you.
663
00:31:40,723 --> 00:31:43,475
Promise me you won't disappoint me.
664
00:31:43,500 --> 00:31:44,785
I promise.
665
00:32:00,916 --> 00:32:03,048
And, Andre?
666
00:32:04,754 --> 00:32:08,622
Promise me that you will
destroy that bitch...
667
00:32:09,059 --> 00:32:11,369
that murdered me...
668
00:32:11,589 --> 00:32:13,673
and killed our baby.
669
00:32:19,307 --> 00:32:21,112
Bye, Andre.
670
00:32:23,440 --> 00:32:24,697
Good-bye.
671
00:32:46,830 --> 00:32:48,507

672
00:33:13,738 --> 00:33:15,337
Where he at?!
673
00:33:18,435 --> 00:33:21,309

Yeah, they're on their way.
677

With shot glasses.
734
00:36:20,359 --> 00:36:21,492
Shine, look out, man.
735
00:36:26,233 --> 00:36:28,233
Tariq, we got to stop meeting like this.
736
00:36:28,258 --> 00:36:30,415
Yeah, well, what's the point in
helping me get enough evidence
737
00:36:30,440 --> 00:36:31,923
to freeze up Empire's assets,
738
00:36:31,948 --> 00:36:34,641
then you spotting Lucious
the money to outrun me?
739
00:36:34,856 --> 00:36:37,190
No point. Maybe you just got played.
740
00:36:37,215 --> 00:36:38,781
Yeah, well, Lucious got played, too.
741
00:36:38,806 --> 00:36:40,180
What's stopping me from telling him?
742
00:36:40,205 --> 00:36:42,839
Well, then everybody
will know you got played,
743
00:36:42,992 --> 00:36:44,625
including the FBI.
744
00:36:44,650 --> 00:36:46,766
And don't give me that you
gonna take my immunity mess,
745
00:36:46,791 --> 00:36:48,977
because I know you can't
do that... it's too late.

00:36:49,002 --> 00:36:51,173
You know, if you was a real G, Leslie,
747
00:36:51,198 --> 00:36:53,966
you'd have started your
own label with that 50 mil.
748
00:36:54,712 --> 00:36:57,907
Well, Tariq, it ain't about the label.
749
00:36:57,932 --> 00:36:59,680
It's about Empire.
750
00:36:59,942 --> 00:37:01,742
It's the crown jewel of all labels.
751
00:37:01,767 --> 00:37:05,196
It's the Iron Throne.
Everybody want to be king.
752
00:37:05,221 --> 00:37:06,688
Don't you?
753
00:37:09,979 --> 00:37:12,212
Uh, why you wasting my
liquor like that, man?
754
00:37:12,237 --> 00:37:14,430

Yeah!
762
00:37:42,301 --> 00:37:44,634
- That was good, right?
- Yes. It was great, baby.
763
00:37:44,659 --> 00:37:45,958
- You did a good job.
- Thank you.
764
00:37:45,983 --> 00:37:47,285
I'm so proud of you.
765
00:37:47,310 --> 00:37:49,677
- Thank you for coming.
- Of course, come on.
766
00:37:49,702 --> 00:37:51,502
- I love you.
- I love you, too. Hey!
767
00:37:51,527 --> 00:37:53,027
Hey.
768
00:37:53,661 --> 00:37:55,895
You're going to rehab, okay?
769
00:37:57,535 --> 00:37:58,941
What?
770
00:38:01,402 --> 00:38:03,723
Bro, just... just go.
771
00:38:08,863 --> 00:38:10,876
Ma, please don't do
this to me right now.
772
00:38:10,937 --> 00:38:12,183
- Jamal...
- Don't touch me.
773
00:38:12,216 --> 00:38:14,558
All right? Don't touch me.
774
00:38:19,485 --> 00:38:21,417
It's time, son.
775
00:38:41,139 --> 00:38:43,639
Our instant-polling
was very encouraging.
776
00:38:43,664 --> 00:38:46,805
And the money we raised.
777
00:38:46,830 --> 00:38:48,934
Look, when he gets out of there,
778
00:38:48,959 --> 00:38:50,907
he's going to thank
you for what you did.
779
00:38:50,932 --> 00:38:53,466
- Believe that.
- I hope so.
780
00:38:53,854 --> 00:38:55,844
Look, you'd better go,
781
00:38:55,869 --> 00:38:57,969
Your man's waiting.
782
00:39:00,638 --> 00:39:02,004
Hey.
783
00:39:02,856 --> 00:39:04,155
How's Jamal?
784
00:39:04,436 --> 00:39:05,961
He's gonna be all right.
785
00:39:06,172 --> 00:39:07,800
You're amazing.
786
00:39:07,868 --> 00:39:09,401
Thank you.
787
00:39:10,536 --> 00:39:12,079
Ooh, Councilman.
788
00:39:12,104 --> 00:39:15,258
I have a gift for you
I forgot to give you.
789
00:39:17,344 --> 00:39:18,946
- What is this...?
- Councilman...
790
00:39:18,971 --> 00:39:21,329
- can I have a word?
- No, no, no, no, no...
791
00:39:21,354 --> 00:39:25,125
That little droplet turned
into a mighty big ripple.
792
00:39:25,600 --> 00:39:27,008
- What do you remember about the evening
- What?
793
00:39:27,033 --> 00:39:29,446
of October 5, 1988?
794
00:39:29,471 --> 00:39:30,880
You're as wretched as they say you are.
795
00:39:30,905 --> 00:39:32,106
Mother.
796
00:39:33,294 --> 00:39:36,051
It's the, uh, night of my DUI.
797
00:39:37,825 --> 00:39:40,511
- I was 17 years old...
- Okay, wait. Wait a minute.
798
00:39:40,536 --> 00:39:43,098
Every teenager has
gotten into some nonsense.
799
00:39:43,123 --> 00:39:46,557
"W" was arrested for a DUI.
800
00:39:46,582 --> 00:39:48,450
Bill Clinton smoked marijuana.
801
00:39:48,475 --> 00:39:50,419
Barack Obama wrote about it in his book.
802
00:39:50,444 --> 00:39:52,176
Yes, well, to the best of my knowledge,
803
00:39:52,201 --> 00:39:55,575
none of those presidents
ever drunk-drove into a lake,
804
00:39:55,630 --> 00:39:58,810
saving himself while leaving
a poor, innocent girl to drown.
805
00:39:58,835 --> 00:40:00,045
- What?
- That's a lie!
806
00:40:00,070 --> 00:40:01,584
Cookie, that's not what happened.
807
00:40:01,609 --> 00:40:02,600
Shameful.
808
00:40:03,824 --> 00:40:05,302
I warned you.
809
00:40:08,662 --> 00:40:10,068
That's enough.
810
00:40:37,100 --> 00:40:40,217
I'm the most ruthless. The most
ruthless. Baby, I'm the most ruthless.
811
00:40:40,242 --> 00:40:41,495
God.
812
00:40:42,396 --> 00:40:44,256
- Shine, let's go.
- The most ruthless.
813
00:40:44,281 --> 00:40:45,708
I'm the most ruthless.
814
00:40:48,008 --> 00:40:49,499
I told 'em it was closing time.
815
00:40:49,524 --> 00:40:51,577
They don't listen. They
even took over the music.
816
00:40:53,274 --> 00:40:54,872
It's awful late, fellas.
817
00:40:54,897 --> 00:40:56,499
Shouldn't you boys be home in bed?
818
00:40:56,524 --> 00:40:57,957
Ah.
819
00:40:57,982 --> 00:40:59,414
You kicking us out, bro?
820
00:40:59,439 --> 00:41:01,741
I mean, they could've
at least sent the police,
821
00:41:01,766 --> 00:41:03,280
somebody with some real muscle.
822
00:41:04,629 --> 00:41:07,130
I'm not trying to kick you out, Shine.
823
00:41:07,155 --> 00:41:09,702
As a matter of fact, I'm
here to join the celebration.
824
00:41:09,727 --> 00:41:12,077
That's what this is,
right, a celebration?
825
00:41:12,102 --> 00:41:13,635
Ladies and gentlemen,
826
00:41:14,094 --> 00:41:15,811
let's toast to my man Shine.
827
00:41:15,836 --> 00:41:17,035
To Shine!
828
00:41:17,060 --> 00:41:18,874
Hell of a power move you made, brother.
829
00:41:18,899 --> 00:41:19,952
Hell of a move.
830
00:41:26,807 --> 00:41:29,374
You know...
831
00:41:29,399 --> 00:41:31,866
Nessa said you was out
your rabbit-ass mind,
832
00:41:31,891 --> 00:41:33,157
but that's okay.
833
00:41:33,182 --> 00:41:36,522
I deal with a lot of crazy
dudes... a lot crazier than you.
834
00:41:37,743 --> 00:41:40,600
Listen, what do you
think my father would do
835
00:41:40,625 --> 00:41:43,913
if he knew you were the one who
set him up for the asset freeze?
836
00:41:45,053 --> 00:41:46,319
I had nothing to do with that.
837
00:41:46,344 --> 00:41:48,546
I can prove that you
leveraged all your Laundromats
838
00:41:48,571 --> 00:41:50,710
and parking garages and strip clubs,
839
00:41:50,735 --> 00:41:54,202
all your properties... if that's
what you want to call it...
840
00:41:54,280 --> 00:41:57,936
two weeks before Tariq and the
FBI froze Empire's accounts.
841
00:41:58,005 --> 00:41:59,991
- So what?
- "So what?"
842
00:42:00,016 --> 00:42:02,136
That means you knew it was coming.
843
00:42:02,722 --> 00:42:05,428
That means you tipped off Tariq.
844
00:42:06,171 --> 00:42:08,835
My father respects his opponents, Shine,
845
00:42:09,164 --> 00:42:10,858
but he hates a snitch.
846
00:42:11,225 --> 00:42:14,319
Let's say you can prove
this crazy theory you got.
847
00:42:16,290 --> 00:42:19,057
Tell him. Tell Lucious.
848
00:42:19,976 --> 00:42:22,076
Let's see what happens next.
849
00:42:23,726 --> 00:42:26,057
I got a much better
plan than that, brother.
850
00:42:26,082 --> 00:42:28,416
Come over here, I'll tell you about it.
851
00:42:35,063 --> 00:42:37,012
Here's how it's gonna
work from here on out.
852
00:42:37,037 --> 00:42:38,950
You respect the hierarchy.
853
00:42:39,279 --> 00:42:41,505
I pull the strings
here, including Nessa.
854
00:42:41,715 --> 00:42:44,750
Now, you do what you do, I do what I do.
855
00:42:44,775 --> 00:42:47,419
We'll put the pieces in
place to cover our tracks,
856
00:42:47,444 --> 00:42:49,325
make all the moves we need to make
857
00:42:49,511 --> 00:42:51,051
until it's time.
858
00:42:53,193 --> 00:42:54,693
Time for what?
859
00:42:56,997 --> 00:42:59,116
Time to kill my father.
860
00:43:05,864 --> 00:43:07,739
Empire is my legacy.
861
00:43:14,028 --> 00:43:15,622
It's time, Cookie.
862
00:43:15,638 --> 00:43:17,301
All new episodes of "Empire",
863
00:43:17,333 --> 00:43:19,277
this March on Fox.
