1
00:00:00,759 --> 00:00:02,193
Previously on Empire...
2
00:00:02,217 --> 00:00:03,684
Your nose is bleeding.
3
00:00:03,685 --> 00:00:05,219
Andre!
4
00:00:05,220 --> 00:00:07,555
I'm a Lyon and I'm done
apologizing for that.
5
00:00:07,556 --> 00:00:09,767
I could get you back
running the company you built
6
00:00:09,791 --> 00:00:10,991
with me as co-partner.
7
00:00:10,993 --> 00:00:13,160
I'm Damon Cross
and I'm a game changer.
8
00:00:13,161 --> 00:00:14,829
Nobody move!
9
00:00:14,830 --> 00:00:17,264
Our money is sitting
in a Panamanian bank
10
00:00:17,266 --> 00:00:19,200
and we need someone to help us.
11
00:00:19,201 --> 00:00:20,868
I'm not going anywhere
without my money.
12
00:00:20,869 --> 00:00:22,703
She's worth it.
13
00:00:22,704 --> 00:00:24,472
Set up a meeting with Damon Cross.
14
00:00:24,473 --> 00:00:26,707
Damon Cross is no longer
a client for good reasons.
15
00:00:26,708 --> 00:00:30,010
- FBI.
- Mr. Rawlings, you can call me Meghan.
16
00:00:30,012 --> 00:00:33,013
You're gonna tell
me about the connection
17
00:00:33,015 --> 00:00:35,082
between Lucious Lyon and Damon Cross.
18
00:00:35,083 --> 00:00:37,418
I can put you all in the same room.
19
00:00:37,419 --> 00:00:40,020
Oh. That's a little Doctor Who of you.
20
00:00:40,022 --> 00:00:42,256
I mean, this is from
the Platinum Party.
21
00:00:42,257 --> 00:00:45,092
Anyone who's anyone was there.
22
00:00:45,093 --> 00:00:46,638
- You gonna party like this, huh?
- No.
23
00:00:46,662 --> 00:00:48,596
- Told you I'd get you in.
- This is amazing.
24
00:00:48,597 --> 00:00:50,041
- Watch your back. What's up, my man?
- Excuse me.

- Yeah, they go big, they go big.
- Thank you, honey.
38
00:01:22,164 --> 00:01:23,998

00:01:35,644 --> 00:01:38,579
That damn Eddie tried to bench
her since she had her baby.
45
00:01:38,580 --> 00:01:40,815
And we spent all that time
turning her and built
46
00:01:40,816 --> 00:01:44,018
to a superstar and now he's
renting her out like some pony
47
00:01:44,019 --> 00:01:45,753
- at a party.
- Cookie, Lucious.
48
00:01:45,754 --> 00:01:47,054
Look at you.
49
00:01:47,055 --> 00:01:49,924
- Looking good.
- Hey, where's Eddie?
50
00:01:49,925 --> 00:01:51,749
He's probably banging
his new assistant.
51
00:01:51,773 --> 00:01:52,780
Shh.
52
00:01:52,761 --> 00:01:54,462
Oh, it's so good to see
that you haven't lost
53
00:01:54,463 --> 00:01:56,831
your sense of humor, Cookie.
54
00:01:56,832 --> 00:01:58,309
Considering you've lost
everything else.
55
00:01:58,333 --> 00:02:00,868
I would slap you, Giselle.
56
00:02:00,869 --> 00:02:04,371
But animal cruelty
is a crime in New York.
57
00:02:04,373 --> 00:02:05,673
Ooh.
58
00:02:07,509 --> 00:02:10,077

Was that Lucious Lyon?
71
00:02:35,937 --> 00:02:37,838
Yes. I can't believe he thinks
72
00:02:37,839 --> 00:02:39,807
he's actually gonna get Empire back.
73
00:02:39,808 --> 00:02:41,742
It's in his blood.
74
00:02:41,743 --> 00:02:45,246
Word to the wise: don't let
Eddie hear you say that.
75
00:02:45,247 --> 00:02:48,449
I don't really care what Eddie thinks.
76
00:02:48,450 --> 00:02:50,084
I don't think you should, either.
77
00:02:50,085 --> 00:02:53,287
Jeff. What are you...?
Are you coming on to me?
78
00:02:53,288 --> 00:02:55,589
Only if you say yes.
79
00:02:55,590 --> 00:02:57,301
You really feeling yourself, huh?
80
00:02:57,325 --> 00:02:58,592

You missed a real humdinger.
85
00:03:12,174 --> 00:03:14,141
Please cut the cameras.
86
00:03:14,142 --> 00:03:16,577
Audio, too. Just shut
the whole thing down, please.
87
00:03:16,578 --> 00:03:18,145
Okay.
88
00:03:22,951 --> 00:03:26,787
You do know that Guantanamo is
still open for business, right?
89
00:03:26,788 --> 00:03:28,923
Damn. The one thing
90
00:03:28,924 --> 00:03:30,791
Obama promised and didn't do.
91
00:03:30,792 --> 00:03:33,294
See, my president... he's not
so interested in rules,
92
00:03:33,295 --> 00:03:35,229
just results, which means
93
00:03:35,230 --> 00:03:37,865
that I can crawl so far up
your ass with a microscope
94
00:03:37,866 --> 00:03:42,202
and I'll find any number
of prosecutable offenses.
95
00:03:42,204 --> 00:03:45,005
Ugh. Sounds like one of his tweets.
96
00:03:45,006 --> 00:03:47,007
You're being very aggressive,
Counselor.
97
00:03:47,008 --> 00:03:49,176
I'm just saying.
98
00:03:49,177 --> 00:03:51,645
I don't really think
that you're grasping the gravity
99
00:03:51,646 --> 00:03:53,981
of your situation, Thirsty. You see,
100
00:03:53,982 --> 00:03:57,785
if I nab one big fish,
it puts me on the front page.
101
00:03:57,786 --> 00:03:59,787
I put two whales on the boat?
102
00:03:59,788 --> 00:04:02,122
Puts me in the governor's mansion.
103
00:04:02,123 --> 00:04:06,160
I am going to hook Damon Cross
and Lucious Lyon.
104
00:04:06,161 --> 00:04:09,730
So guess what that makes you?
Come on, guess.
105
00:04:09,731 --> 00:04:11,799
My bait.
106

Subtitle sync and corrections by
awaqeded for www.addic7ed.com.
107
00:04:22,377 --> 00:04:25,179
Lucious wants
to turn that old crack house
108
00:04:25,180 --> 00:04:26,981
- into a rehab.
- Hmm.
109
00:04:26,982 --> 00:04:29,550
But I think a community center
110
00:04:29,551 --> 00:04:31,418
will offer more services.
What you think?
111
00:04:31,419 --> 00:04:33,554
Well, the rehab part
is important, too.
112
00:04:33,555 --> 00:04:35,356
Of course you'd say that.
113
00:04:36,424 --> 00:04:38,959
The Cookie Lyon Community Center.
114
00:04:38,960 --> 00:04:40,972
Has a ring to it, doesn't it?
115
00:04:40,996 --> 00:04:44,098
Okay, so his little secret,
passing-for-white bastard
116
00:04:44,099 --> 00:04:46,266
goes and tries to destroy everything
117
00:04:46,268 --> 00:04:48,535
that you've built,
now Lucious gonna buy you
118
00:04:48,537 --> 00:04:50,671
some old crack shack
and now you trust him?
119
00:04:50,672 --> 00:04:52,139
Trust who?
120
00:04:52,140 --> 00:04:54,875
- Hey, baby.
- Hey. Uh...
121
00:04:54,876 --> 00:04:56,076
I-I was just telling, uh,
122
00:04:56,077 --> 00:04:59,146
Carol, here, about the focus group.
123
00:04:59,147 --> 00:05:01,281
And how, uh,
124
00:05:01,283 --> 00:05:04,118
Empire has lost
the trust in these streets.
125
00:05:04,119 --> 00:05:05,897
- No, don't worry about that.
- I'll fix it. -
126
00:05:05,921 --> 00:05:08,088
No, I mean, we'll fix it.
127
00:05:08,089 --> 00:05:10,124
So, you know what Mama says, right?
128
00:05:10,125 --> 00:05:12,660
That trust takes years to earn,
seconds to break,
129
00:05:12,661 --> 00:05:14,728
and a lifetime to rebuild.
130
00:05:14,729 --> 00:05:16,196
Shh.
131
00:05:17,299 --> 00:05:19,867
Hey, how did she get my damn number?
132
00:05:19,868 --> 00:05:21,769
- Who's that?
- Some agent out in L.A.
133
00:05:21,770 --> 00:05:25,172
She's been following my Insta stories
134
00:05:25,173 --> 00:05:27,307
- and she wants to make me a star.
- Mm.
135
00:05:27,309 --> 00:05:30,010
Don't tell me you falling for
some Hollywood shuffle game.
136
00:05:30,011 --> 00:05:32,846
- Look, we got real work we're doing.
- Well, why not?
137
00:05:32,847 --> 00:05:35,052
Maybe this agent can get you
some good publicity.
138
00:05:35,053 --> 00:05:36,561
I mean, you sure as hell could use it.
139
00:05:36,585 --> 00:05:37,751
Tell me about it.
140
00:05:37,752 --> 00:05:39,286
I'm out, baby.
141
00:05:40,589 --> 00:05:43,457
But this woman is a bulldog.
142
00:05:43,458 --> 00:05:46,694
I'm gonna have to give her
a hard "no" in person.
143
00:05:47,996 --> 00:05:49,663
These pancakes dry.
144
00:05:49,664 --> 00:05:52,032
No, I didn't make those. Juanita!
145
00:05:54,769 --> 00:05:57,004
That's great news.
146
00:05:57,005 --> 00:05:59,740
A 92 on his calc midterm.
147
00:05:59,741 --> 00:06:01,018
- He's always been so good at math.
- Aw.
148
00:06:01,042 --> 00:06:02,376
Even when he was a little boy.
149
00:06:02,377 --> 00:06:03,677
I'm so proud of him.
150
00:06:03,678 --> 00:06:05,145
He's doing so great.
151
00:06:05,146 --> 00:06:07,181
- I'm proud of you, too.
- Mr. Lyon.
152
00:06:07,182 --> 00:06:10,017
Um, that meeting's
happening now, Teri.
153
00:06:10,018 --> 00:06:11,596
- I'll call you back.
- Okay, see you soon. Bye.
154
00:06:11,620 --> 00:06:13,454
Okay. Bye.
155
00:06:13,455 --> 00:06:16,390
There's absolutely
no metal allowed in here.
156
00:06:16,391 --> 00:06:18,358
Hop onto the table.
157
00:06:20,662 --> 00:06:24,932
Okay, so remember to lie
as still as possible.
158
00:06:27,002 --> 00:06:29,369
- Scooch up a bit.
- Okay.
159
00:06:29,371 --> 00:06:31,371
Keep your arms tucked in, knees down.
160
00:06:31,373 --> 00:06:35,142

Y'all, we really got to work
on this choreography.
188
00:07:57,926 --> 00:07:59,203
- It's just basic as hell.
- It's getting worse.
189
00:07:59,227 --> 00:08:00,727
Look, I-I don't mean to overstep.
190
00:08:00,729 --> 00:08:02,640
But I-I think you're right...
I think it is basic.
191
00:08:02,664 --> 00:08:04,932
They should be giving you lines
192
00:08:04,933 --> 00:08:06,934
and something...
193
00:08:08,036 --> 00:08:09,570
...sexier.
194
00:08:10,472 --> 00:08:12,339
Oh, really?
195
00:08:14,542 --> 00:08:16,577
Take off your headphones.
196
00:08:16,578 --> 00:08:18,312
Look, I...
197
00:08:18,313 --> 00:08:20,057
- I really wasn't trying to...
- No, no, no. I mean,
198
00:08:20,081 --> 00:08:22,449

- whatever. All right, cool.
- Yeah. Y-Yeah. Absolutely.
200
00:08:24,886 --> 00:08:26,253
- Yes.
- Um, dancers,
201
00:08:26,254 --> 00:08:27,732
can y'all just talk to Maya
for a second?
202
00:08:27,756 --> 00:08:30,390
- Hi. I'm Maya. Um...
- Show them the sexy!
203
00:08:30,391 --> 00:08:33,493
- That was the important part.
- Show them the something.
204
00:08:33,495 --> 00:08:35,139
♪ I remove you, like voodoo...

So, obviously, the footage is rough.
214
00:08:53,248 --> 00:08:54,859
- Mm-hmm.
- But seriously, y'all, I mean,
215
00:08:54,883 --> 00:08:56,550
this is 'Keem back at his best.
216
00:08:56,551 --> 00:08:57,995
- You know what I'm saying?
- Yeah, that is great,
217
00:08:58,019 --> 00:09:00,220
considering Hakeem hasn't done a video
218
00:09:00,221 --> 00:09:01,732
- in what... like, two years?
- Right.
219
00:09:01,756 --> 00:09:03,467
- But he didn't miss a beat.
- No.
220
00:09:03,491 --> 00:09:05,959
But you want to know what he
has not done even longer?
221
00:09:05,960 --> 00:09:08,428
Boy ain't been on tour.
222
00:09:08,429 --> 00:09:11,108
- Well, touring is expensive.
- It can be, but why can't we take
223
00:09:11,132 --> 00:09:12,734
some of the Panama money? We
put that towards a tour...
224
00:09:12,758 --> 00:09:15,969
Ah, ah! Boy. Can't nobody know
225
00:09:15,970 --> 00:09:17,871
where we got our cash infusion from.
226
00:09:17,872 --> 00:09:20,540
- Shut your head.
- My point is
227
00:09:20,542 --> 00:09:23,043
we need a tour,
so why not put together
228
00:09:23,044 --> 00:09:25,596
a Hakeem and Jamal Lyon
Resurrection Tour?
229
00:09:25,597 --> 00:09:26,577
Right.
230
00:09:26,578 --> 00:09:28,359
It gets people's minds back
on what's most important.
231
00:09:28,360 --> 00:09:30,550
And what's most important
at Empire? Music.
232
00:09:30,552 --> 00:09:31,996
- That's right.
- What you're talking about
233
00:09:32,020 --> 00:09:33,587
- is Lyon music.
- No. No.
234
00:09:33,588 --> 00:09:35,889
We're talking about the music
that built Empire.
235
00:09:35,890 --> 00:09:37,568
- That's right.
- My music built it.
236
00:09:37,592 --> 00:09:38,769
It makes my sense that my sons
237
00:09:38,793 --> 00:09:40,260
should resurrect it with theirs.
238
00:09:40,261 --> 00:09:43,463
Empire is no longer your
personal playground, Lucious.
239
00:09:43,464 --> 00:09:47,367
A decision this large
requires my support.
240
00:09:47,368 --> 00:09:49,113
Well, well, I'm sorry,
you forget that I built
241
00:09:49,137 --> 00:09:50,971
this so-called "playground."
242
00:09:50,972 --> 00:09:55,409
I know where the swing set is,
the slide, and the sandbox.
243
00:09:55,410 --> 00:09:57,311
You've got 20%, and that gives you
244
00:09:57,312 --> 00:09:59,164
a conversation at this
table, but not the last word.
245
00:09:59,188 --> 00:10:01,315
We go with this immediately.
246
00:10:01,316 --> 00:10:03,183
Yes, I agree.
247
00:10:05,453 --> 00:10:07,621
Okay.
248
00:10:07,622 --> 00:10:10,157
We'll see about that.
249
00:10:13,094 --> 00:10:14,561
Did that just happen?
250
00:10:14,562 --> 00:10:16,596
We moving on it or not?
251
00:10:16,598 --> 00:10:18,098
You damn right we're doing it.
252
00:10:18,099 --> 00:10:19,476
We're just gonna wait
until we put a pin
253
00:10:19,500 --> 00:10:21,635
into that corporate problem
right there.
254
00:10:21,636 --> 00:10:23,937
No, no, no, no, no.
255
00:10:23,938 --> 00:10:25,973
Let me deal with Miss Giselle.
256
00:10:25,974 --> 00:10:28,542
- Oh, Mom.
- No. no.
257
00:10:28,543 --> 00:10:30,644
We are professionals, remember?
258
00:10:30,645 --> 00:10:32,646
Yeah, I'm very professional.
259
00:10:32,647 --> 00:10:35,349
Nothing happened
at the Platinum Party, okay?
260
00:10:35,350 --> 00:10:38,385
And you're making a conspiracy
out of a coincidence.
261
00:10:38,386 --> 00:10:40,954
Do you think all that I have is
some kind of hip-hop hoedown
262
00:10:40,955 --> 00:10:42,266
to connect you to Damon and Lucious?
263
00:10:42,290 --> 00:10:43,801
Besides me being their lawyer. Hello!
264
00:10:43,825 --> 00:10:44,825
- Oh, my God...
- Which means any communications
265
00:10:44,826 --> 00:10:46,226
with either one of them
266
00:10:46,227 --> 00:10:49,396
falls under the protection
of attorney-client privilege.
267
00:10:49,397 --> 00:10:51,631
Privilege is pierced when the attorney
268
00:10:51,633 --> 00:10:53,433
is engaged in an ongoing crime,
Counselor.
269
00:10:53,434 --> 00:10:56,370
- And you have no evidence of that!
- Sit down.
270
00:10:56,371 --> 00:10:59,706
Sit down.
271
00:11:07,749 --> 00:11:10,083
You know that feeling you get,
272
00:11:10,084 --> 00:11:13,720
that little tingle when you know
that somebody's watching you?
273
00:11:13,721 --> 00:11:16,123
Well, you should be vibrating
274
00:11:16,124 --> 00:11:18,325
like your lady's rabbit,
275
00:11:18,326 --> 00:11:20,304
'cause the Feds have been
watching your every move.
276
00:11:20,328 --> 00:11:23,063
So if I were you, Thirsty,
277
00:11:23,064 --> 00:11:24,598
I'd get comfortable.
278
00:11:24,599 --> 00:11:27,200
'Cause you're not going anywhere.
279
00:11:31,364 --> 00:11:34,331
The only thing that is gonna
save you, Thirsty, is the truth.
280
00:11:40,839 --> 00:11:42,273
Okay.
281
00:11:44,876 --> 00:11:46,310
Okay.
282
00:11:47,612 --> 00:11:49,146
Maybe there's more to this.
283
00:11:50,081 --> 00:11:52,149
Please.
284
00:11:52,150 --> 00:11:55,152
Enlighten me.
285
00:12:01,693 --> 00:12:03,694
Well, you guys...
286
00:12:03,695 --> 00:12:06,463
you guys have been starting
at the Platinum Party.
287
00:12:06,465 --> 00:12:09,800
But this story really begins
288
00:12:09,801 --> 00:12:12,303
in another place at another time.
289
00:12:12,304 --> 00:12:14,605
It's, um...
290
00:12:14,606 --> 00:12:17,608
the story of a-of a guy
and a girl. Vera.
291
00:12:19,044 --> 00:12:21,779
It's a love story.
292
00:12:21,780 --> 00:12:23,480
I'm here to drop off
293
00:12:23,482 --> 00:12:26,150
- a plea bargain for ADA Smith.
- Mm-hmm.
294
00:12:26,151 --> 00:12:27,818
Put it on the pile.
295
00:12:28,820 --> 00:12:31,555
A man's life hangs
in the balance, sweetie.
296
00:12:31,556 --> 00:12:33,657
I'd really like to hand it
to him personally.
297
00:12:38,430 --> 00:12:40,497
It's a bad day for a plea bargain.
298
00:12:40,499 --> 00:12:43,233
DA's in his feelings over his ex.
299
00:12:43,235 --> 00:12:44,568
Oh.
300
00:12:44,569 --> 00:12:46,103
What do you suggest?
301
00:12:46,104 --> 00:12:48,172
Come back Thursday after 2:00.
302
00:12:48,173 --> 00:12:50,641
Right after his happy ending massage.
303
00:12:50,642 --> 00:12:52,943
Okay.
304
00:12:52,944 --> 00:12:55,546
- Okay.
- Thanks for the intel.
305
00:12:55,547 --> 00:12:56,981
Mm-hmm.
306
00:12:58,416 --> 00:13:00,250
Looks cute, huh?
307
00:13:00,252 --> 00:13:02,519
Hey, you know what? I'll catch
up with you downstairs.
308
00:13:09,761 --> 00:13:11,762
Um...
309
00:13:11,763 --> 00:13:14,064
how about I, uh, b-buy you some lunch?
310
00:13:14,065 --> 00:13:17,668
I'm not interested in lunch.
311
00:13:17,669 --> 00:13:19,770
Oh.
312
00:13:21,239 --> 00:13:23,941
But you can buy me dinner.
313
00:13:30,048 --> 00:13:33,463
What does Vera... who, by the way,
314
00:13:33,464 --> 00:13:35,298
sounds like
a make-believe girlfriend...
315
00:13:35,299 --> 00:13:37,634
have to do with Damon and Lucious?
316
00:13:37,635 --> 00:13:38,679
Look, you want me
to tell you the truth,
317
00:13:38,703 --> 00:13:39,936
then you got to be patient.
318
00:13:39,937 --> 00:13:41,705
All right? I'm getting there.
319
00:13:42,673 --> 00:13:44,541
It's unbelievable.
320
00:13:44,542 --> 00:13:46,676
Yeah. Today would be great.
321
00:13:46,677 --> 00:13:48,878
Let me call you back.
322
00:13:48,880 --> 00:13:50,480
- Hey.
- Hi, Cookie.
323
00:13:50,481 --> 00:13:53,783
Look, um, I know we're
equal partners and everything,
324
00:13:53,784 --> 00:13:56,286
but, uh, Lucious' face
is still on that logo.
325
00:13:56,287 --> 00:13:58,121
And I'm not saying it's right,
326
00:13:58,122 --> 00:14:00,167
but he's gonna be strongheaded,
and that's just the way it is.
327
00:14:00,191 --> 00:14:02,258
That's the way it is.
That sounds like an excuse,
328
00:14:02,260 --> 00:14:04,561
not an explanation.
329
00:14:04,562 --> 00:14:07,197
What does your 20% think?
330
00:14:07,198 --> 00:14:08,999
Is it handcuffed to his?
331
00:14:10,968 --> 00:14:13,036
Okay.
332
00:14:13,037 --> 00:14:16,373
Hakeem is in no way
ready to headline yet.
333
00:14:16,374 --> 00:14:19,075
The road can be really rough on you.
334
00:14:19,076 --> 00:14:22,379
- So we agree. The tour's off.
- I didn't say that.
335
00:14:22,380 --> 00:14:24,247
I said my baby's not ready
to headline.
336
00:14:24,248 --> 00:14:27,117
Look, what do you think about Empire
337
00:14:27,118 --> 00:14:31,087
launching a national tour featuring...
338
00:14:31,088 --> 00:14:34,257
all of our artists... Empire and LFM?
339
00:14:34,258 --> 00:14:36,326
The risk is too high.
340
00:14:36,327 --> 00:14:38,328
Come on, man. Go hard or go home.
341
00:14:38,329 --> 00:14:42,232
See, Cookie, you can say that
because you have a family
342
00:14:42,233 --> 00:14:44,968
and a husband to back you up.
343
00:14:44,969 --> 00:14:47,037
Empire is all I have.
344
00:14:47,038 --> 00:14:49,572
It's everything we got. Everything!
345
00:14:49,573 --> 00:14:51,875
I called Kelly Patel.
346
00:14:51,876 --> 00:14:53,810
- Oh, really?
- Mm-hmm.
347
00:14:53,811 --> 00:14:55,578
So, you went running to tell teacher
348
00:14:55,579 --> 00:14:58,114
because you knew
you wouldn't get your way.
349
00:14:58,115 --> 00:15:00,650
The parent company
has a 40% stake in Empire.
350
00:15:00,651 --> 00:15:03,153
Kelly has a right
to know what's going on.
351
00:15:03,154 --> 00:15:04,988
He'll be here later today.
352
00:15:04,989 --> 00:15:06,456
Oh, really?
353
00:15:06,457 --> 00:15:09,359
So did you snitch about Panama, too?
354
00:15:09,360 --> 00:15:11,861
Of course not.
355
00:15:11,862 --> 00:15:14,631
He doesn't need to know
all our business.
356
00:15:17,501 --> 00:15:19,602
We need this tour.
357
00:15:22,840 --> 00:15:25,241
So were you ever gonna
tell me about this tour?
358
00:15:25,242 --> 00:15:27,243
Yeah, I know.
Between this and Hakeem's video
359
00:15:27,244 --> 00:15:29,212
and this whole Treasure/Tiana thing,
360
00:15:29,213 --> 00:15:31,558
it's like the universe don't
even want me to miss Kai, so...
361
00:15:31,582 --> 00:15:35,452
Who is Kai?
Stop talking about him. God.
362
00:15:35,453 --> 00:15:38,788
I'm not hearing any music. Why's that?
363
00:15:38,789 --> 00:15:40,290
I-I tried, man.
364
00:15:40,291 --> 00:15:41,825
Uh-uh.
365
00:15:41,826 --> 00:15:44,160
- Y'all, what's good?
- Jamal,
366
00:15:44,161 --> 00:15:46,506
- I really tried, but I can't do this.
- Oh, no, no, no, no.
367
00:15:46,530 --> 00:15:48,542
- She is completely unprofessional.
- Unprofessional?
368
00:15:48,566 --> 00:15:50,010
- Girl, what is you talking...?
- Not getting any work done.
369
00:15:50,034 --> 00:15:51,211
Oh, my God. Really?
370
00:15:51,235 --> 00:15:52,702
It's been like this all day?
371
00:15:52,703 --> 00:15:54,571
- All day.
- For real?
372
00:15:54,572 --> 00:15:55,572
Isn't your baby crying somewhere?
373
00:15:55,573 --> 00:15:56,817
Talk about my baby one more time.
374
00:15:56,841 --> 00:15:57,841
Talk about my baby,
and you gonna have to
375
00:15:57,842 --> 00:15:59,209
get you a security guard.
376
00:15:59,210 --> 00:16:00,687
Why don't she got
the baby monitor in here?
377
00:16:00,711 --> 00:16:02,122
- Where is the baby?
- ...a mother, I will drag you.
378
00:16:02,146 --> 00:16:03,457
Girl, keep talking.
I'm unprofessional?
379
00:16:03,481 --> 00:16:05,081
- Oh, word?
- Yeah.
380
00:16:05,082 --> 00:16:06,460
- We cannot work together.
- You just got here.
381
00:16:06,484 --> 00:16:08,061
You doing a lot of this.
You need to do this.
382
00:16:08,085 --> 00:16:09,963
- I hear your baby crying. Go
check on your baby. - Okay.
383
00:16:09,987 --> 00:16:11,498
- Jamal, please come take out the trash.
- Really? Jamal.
384
00:16:11,522 --> 00:16:13,133
And don't talk about my baby no more.
385
00:16:13,157 --> 00:16:15,102
- Jamal, I can't do this.
- You talk a lot for...
386
00:16:18,195 --> 00:16:20,263
Thank you.
387
00:16:22,366 --> 00:16:24,968
I don't know. I mean,
after a couple of dates,
388
00:16:24,969 --> 00:16:27,036
we hit it off.
389
00:16:27,038 --> 00:16:30,039
Uh, Vera quit her job
at the DA's office.
390
00:16:30,041 --> 00:16:31,941
Before I knew it,
she was working for me.
391
00:16:31,942 --> 00:16:34,577
And it was magical.
I mean, she was beautiful.
392
00:16:34,578 --> 00:16:37,480
You're giving me cramps.
Please, get to the point.
393
00:16:37,481 --> 00:16:41,284
Vera w-was fascinated by celebrities.
394
00:16:41,285 --> 00:16:44,487
All right, she was obsessed
with this Platinum Party,
395
00:16:44,488 --> 00:16:45,855
so I had to finagle
396
00:16:45,856 --> 00:16:47,624
a couple of invites for us.
That night,
397
00:16:47,625 --> 00:16:50,093
that's when I ran into Mr. Lyon.
398
00:16:50,094 --> 00:16:52,195
I've seen enough. Let's go home.
399
00:16:52,196 --> 00:16:54,164
- Oh, after-party, huh?
- Yeah.
400
00:16:54,165 --> 00:16:55,865
Thirst, Thirst, Thirst, Thirst.
401
00:16:55,866 --> 00:16:57,901
- What's up, man?
- Hey. -Hi.
402
00:16:57,902 --> 00:16:59,235
- One second, Mama.
- Hey.
403
00:16:59,236 --> 00:17:00,236
What's up, boss?
404
00:17:00,237 --> 00:17:01,938
You ready to take the Empire or what?
405
00:17:01,939 --> 00:17:04,574
It's more like the opposite right now.
406
00:17:04,575 --> 00:17:06,509
What's up? What you need?
407
00:17:06,510 --> 00:17:08,444
How much I owe you right now?
408
00:17:08,446 --> 00:17:10,146
Oh, we ain't gonna talk about that.
409
00:17:10,147 --> 00:17:12,025
It's a party atmosphere.
Come on, I know where you live.
410
00:17:12,049 --> 00:17:14,217
I don't like owing people.
411
00:17:14,218 --> 00:17:17,153
And until things get right...
412
00:17:17,154 --> 00:17:20,490
I should take a leave of absence
for a little while.
413
00:17:20,491 --> 00:17:23,092
- Just till things get right.
- Say no more, mon ami. I get it.
414
00:17:23,094 --> 00:17:25,828
You call me when you need me.
Enough said.
415
00:17:25,830 --> 00:17:27,266
I'm sorry, man.
416
00:17:27,267 --> 00:17:28,425
It's okay. Nothing to
be sorry about, man.
417
00:17:28,426 --> 00:17:30,400
- When it's right...
- It's right.
418
00:17:30,401 --> 00:17:33,002
- Sorry.
- Nice jacket, though.
419
00:17:33,003 --> 00:17:35,605
I'm rubbing off on you.
420
00:17:35,606 --> 00:17:37,607
Baby, are you okay?
421
00:17:37,608 --> 00:17:39,876
Yes. Everything's good.
422
00:17:39,877 --> 00:17:41,254
It's all good. Come on, let's go home.
423
00:17:41,278 --> 00:17:42,912
No, no, no, no. We should stay.
424
00:17:42,913 --> 00:17:44,414
Let's not forget why we're here.
425
00:17:44,415 --> 00:17:46,796
I quit my job to help you
build your practice.
426
00:17:46,797 --> 00:17:47,644
Yes.
427
00:17:47,645 --> 00:17:49,096
And, babe, I believe in
you, but we have no money
428
00:17:49,120 --> 00:17:50,497
- coming in.
- We have no money coming in.
429
00:17:50,521 --> 00:17:51,754
- No.
- This is true.
430
00:17:51,755 --> 00:17:53,590
Then let's work the crowd
and do what we do.
431
00:17:53,591 --> 00:17:54,991
- Okay.
- Find the money.
432
00:17:54,992 --> 00:17:57,493
- I'm sorry, baby. I'm sorry.
- No, it's okay.
433
00:17:57,495 --> 00:17:59,495
All right.
434
00:17:59,497 --> 00:18:01,141
- I'm gonna get some drinks, okay?
- Yeah, okay.
435
00:18:01,165 --> 00:18:02,865
Okay.
436
00:18:02,867 --> 00:18:04,300
Hey, how you doing?
437
00:18:04,301 --> 00:18:05,679
Can I get a couple of tequila shots?
438
00:18:05,703 --> 00:18:08,438
There you go.
439
00:18:08,439 --> 00:18:10,016
There's a lot of beautiful women
here tonight, huh?
440
00:18:10,040 --> 00:18:11,774
Ah. I hadn't noticed.
441
00:18:11,775 --> 00:18:13,710
Thirsty Rawlings, right?
442
00:18:13,711 --> 00:18:15,378
I'm sorry, do we know each other?
443
00:18:15,379 --> 00:18:17,380
No. I'm Damon Cross.
444
00:18:17,381 --> 00:18:19,582
But, you know, I'm looking
for a personal attorney.
445
00:18:19,583 --> 00:18:21,050
Somebody who can be discreet,
446
00:18:21,051 --> 00:18:22,819
you know what I'm saying, resourceful.
447
00:18:22,820 --> 00:18:24,954
And-and I heard you do good work
with the Lyons.
448
00:18:24,955 --> 00:18:27,423
- Ah. You know the Lyons, huh?
- Not really.
449
00:18:27,424 --> 00:18:29,158
I ran into Cookie a few weeks ago.
450
00:18:29,160 --> 00:18:31,194
I really love how she handles
her business,
451
00:18:31,195 --> 00:18:32,695
and I assume that
452
00:18:32,696 --> 00:18:35,131
that extends
down to the family attorney.
453
00:18:35,132 --> 00:18:36,633
It does.
454
00:18:36,634 --> 00:18:38,536
Maybe I can squeeze you
in sometime next week?
455
00:18:38,560 --> 00:18:39,392
Really?
456
00:18:39,393 --> 00:18:41,271
That sounds... Oh, man, thank you.
457
00:18:41,272 --> 00:18:43,373
- Salud.
- Salud.
458
00:18:44,375 --> 00:18:47,243
- Mm.
- Yeah, I'll be in touch.
459
00:18:48,779 --> 00:18:50,880
Let me get two more.
460
00:18:50,881 --> 00:18:52,215
Thanks.
461
00:18:52,216 --> 00:18:54,217
- Thirsty.
- Ah.
462
00:18:54,218 --> 00:18:56,085
You see that? When one door closes,
463
00:18:56,086 --> 00:18:57,620
- another one opens.
- No.
464
00:18:57,621 --> 00:18:59,956
There are no coincidences.
Lucious lets you go,
465
00:18:59,957 --> 00:19:03,459
and then all of a sudden
Damon Cross wants to hire you?
466
00:19:03,460 --> 00:19:05,194
Wh-What do you know about Damon Cross?
467
00:19:05,196 --> 00:19:07,664
They whisper about him
in the DA's office,
468
00:19:07,665 --> 00:19:09,399
but they can never pin anything on him
469
00:19:09,400 --> 00:19:12,435
because he's too good
at whatever he does.
470
00:19:12,436 --> 00:19:15,004
Sounds like he gonna keep me busy.
471
00:19:15,005 --> 00:19:17,507
I'm serious, Thirsty. He's dangerous.
472
00:19:19,109 --> 00:19:21,878
Look, babe, we just started, okay?
473
00:19:21,879 --> 00:19:23,290
- I don't want to lose you.
- Hey, hey.
474
00:19:23,314 --> 00:19:24,858
How do... how do you go to losing me?
475
00:19:24,882 --> 00:19:26,716
You're not gonna lose me.
All right, look,
476
00:19:26,717 --> 00:19:29,852
if I can handle Lucious Lyon,
I can handle Damon Cross.
477
00:19:33,824 --> 00:19:35,191
Ah.
478
00:19:41,755 --> 00:19:43,689
- Should I close this?
- Please.
479
00:19:45,291 --> 00:19:47,292
- How are you?
- Good.
480
00:19:47,293 --> 00:19:48,794
Please, sit.
481
00:19:52,232 --> 00:19:54,233
Your CT scan results...
482
00:19:54,234 --> 00:19:57,002
are troubling.
483
00:19:57,003 --> 00:19:59,938
And yours looks to be
particularly tricky.
484
00:19:59,939 --> 00:20:01,874
Now, that doesn't mean
that we're giving up.
485
00:20:01,875 --> 00:20:03,442
We've had some success
486
00:20:03,443 --> 00:20:05,077
with a variety...
487
00:20:13,453 --> 00:20:15,654
...some success at a variety...
488
00:20:17,624 --> 00:20:19,925
Andre?
489
00:20:22,529 --> 00:20:24,630
Andre?
490
00:20:33,606 --> 00:20:35,545
It is so nice to finally meet you.
491
00:20:35,546 --> 00:20:37,147
You have 15 minutes.
492
00:20:37,148 --> 00:20:39,215
Oh, honey, it'll only take five.
493
00:20:39,216 --> 00:20:42,585
Your Instagram Live posts
are deeply moving,
494
00:20:42,586 --> 00:20:45,588
and your ability to resonate
with people is a gift.
495
00:20:45,589 --> 00:20:48,424
- Thank you.
- My mother follows you.
496
00:20:48,426 --> 00:20:50,693
My hairdresser? Obsessed with you.
497
00:20:50,694 --> 00:20:53,963
A major television network
president told me she's a fan.
498
00:20:53,964 --> 00:20:56,332
Sign with me, you'll be
in her office on Monday.
499
00:20:56,333 --> 00:20:58,501
Okay, look, I'm flattered, all right?
500
00:20:58,502 --> 00:21:01,871
But, um, I'm busy
rebuilding my empire.
501
00:21:01,872 --> 00:21:04,674
You could be your own brand
with my help.
502
00:21:04,675 --> 00:21:06,809
Brand? What, like a toothpaste?
503
00:21:06,811 --> 00:21:09,746
Hey, honey, try Oprah.
504
00:21:09,747 --> 00:21:11,681
Or Beyoncé.
505
00:21:11,682 --> 00:21:14,918
Child, look, I'm busy.
506
00:21:14,919 --> 00:21:17,030
- Thanks for your time.
- What if I told you you could fill in
507
00:21:17,054 --> 00:21:19,189
on The View for Whoopi
508
00:21:19,190 --> 00:21:20,456
when she goes on vacation?
509
00:21:20,458 --> 00:21:23,960
I'd say you're blowing smoke
up my ass.
510
00:21:23,961 --> 00:21:25,461
That network president I mentioned?
511
00:21:25,463 --> 00:21:26,996
She already approved it.
512
00:21:26,997 --> 00:21:30,667
Cookie Lyon,
I'm gonna change your life.
513
00:21:34,271 --> 00:21:36,272
Tee, I swear I'm-a need
blood pressure medicine
514
00:21:36,273 --> 00:21:38,039
by the time I'm done
working with y'all.
515
00:21:38,063 --> 00:21:39,249
It's not my fault.
516
00:21:39,250 --> 00:21:40,821
She keeps stepping all over my vocals.
517
00:21:40,845 --> 00:21:42,579
There would not be a problem
518
00:21:42,580 --> 00:21:44,324
if you would just sing
your part correctly.
519
00:21:44,348 --> 00:21:46,293
I'm singing my part correctly.
You're being extra.
520
00:21:46,317 --> 00:21:48,184
- Hey, hey.
- Really?
521
00:21:48,185 --> 00:21:50,186
What is this beef really about?
522
00:21:50,187 --> 00:21:52,365
I'll tell you what it's about.
You stole my song last time,
523
00:21:52,389 --> 00:21:54,591
and now she wants to turn around
and steal my duet.
524
00:21:54,592 --> 00:21:56,726
No, that's not what happened.
525
00:21:56,727 --> 00:21:57,904
Jeff Kingsley played me the track,
526
00:21:57,928 --> 00:21:58,972
and I thought it was fire.
527
00:21:58,996 --> 00:22:00,230
And then he told me
528
00:22:00,231 --> 00:22:01,541
it was Tiana's,
and if I really wanted it,
529
00:22:01,565 --> 00:22:04,067
I had to fight for it.
So what am I supposed to do?
530
00:22:04,068 --> 00:22:06,703
I'm the new girl.
531
00:22:09,106 --> 00:22:11,808
Eddie used to play
all these same games.
532
00:22:11,809 --> 00:22:14,544
Always comparing me to somebody else.
533
00:22:14,545 --> 00:22:17,313
"Christina's vocals
are bigger than yours."
534
00:22:17,314 --> 00:22:19,415
"Beyoncé's moves
are better than yours."
535
00:22:19,416 --> 00:22:21,985
I couldn't even make it
out of the hospital
536
00:22:21,986 --> 00:22:25,054
before he told me,
"Lose the baby weight."
537
00:22:25,055 --> 00:22:27,056
Mm.
538
00:22:27,057 --> 00:22:30,159
Damn near made me hate myself.
539
00:22:32,096 --> 00:22:34,964
And y'all don't even recognize
the connection here?
540
00:22:34,965 --> 00:22:38,234
I mean, really, you don't see
about just how you're playing
541
00:22:38,235 --> 00:22:39,836
right into the hands of these men?
542
00:22:39,837 --> 00:22:41,838
I love you, Mal, but...
543
00:22:41,839 --> 00:22:43,416
what makes you
any different right now?
544
00:22:43,440 --> 00:22:46,039
For real. You are
just another industry man
545
00:22:46,040 --> 00:22:47,111
telling two women what to do.
546
00:22:47,112 --> 00:22:49,345
- The same old thing.
- Okay, you know what?
547
00:22:49,346 --> 00:22:52,181
I-I'm gonna... I'm gonna receive that.
548
00:22:52,183 --> 00:22:55,318
So let's say that it's
gonna be different from now on.
549
00:22:55,319 --> 00:22:58,721
We got two strong,
black, female artists.
550
00:22:58,722 --> 00:23:02,292
These men are here
pitting y'all against each other
551
00:23:02,293 --> 00:23:04,961
to distract you
from what your actual power is.
552
00:23:04,962 --> 00:23:06,462
Y'all together.
553
00:23:06,463 --> 00:23:08,131
Take all of that power, man,
554
00:23:08,132 --> 00:23:09,799
and put it into the music.
555
00:23:09,800 --> 00:23:12,435
I mean, look,
I don't-I don't want to be a...
556
00:23:12,436 --> 00:23:14,637
an industry man
telling y'all what to do.
557
00:23:14,638 --> 00:23:17,040
But can we try it again?
558
00:23:17,041 --> 00:23:19,108
Unified.
559
00:23:21,178 --> 00:23:23,746
- Hmm?
- Okay, okay.
560
00:23:23,747 --> 00:23:25,748
All right.
561
00:23:29,153 --> 00:23:30,586
Thank you, trinket.
562
00:23:30,588 --> 00:23:32,388
Oh, my... Can y'all stop with that?
563
00:23:33,557 --> 00:23:34,935
- You like that one, don't you?
- Hey. Geez.
564
00:23:34,959 --> 00:23:36,426
You're a professional.
565
00:23:36,427 --> 00:23:39,228
All right.
566
00:23:42,967 --> 00:23:44,500
Thank you.
567
00:23:44,501 --> 00:23:47,270
All right, after the party,
568
00:23:47,271 --> 00:23:49,672
did you ever talk
to Damon Cross again?
569
00:23:49,673 --> 00:23:51,708
Nah. It was just a one-off.
570
00:23:51,709 --> 00:23:53,343
He never called.
571
00:23:53,344 --> 00:23:56,746
What about Victor Horst?
572
00:23:59,984 --> 00:24:02,218
Look, I told you
everything I know, all right?
573
00:24:02,219 --> 00:24:04,164
Now you're showing me pictures
of dudes at Mar-a-Iago.
574
00:24:04,188 --> 00:24:05,665
I can't help you with that.
All right, now,
575
00:24:05,689 --> 00:24:07,033
they're expecting me
back at Empire... I need
576
00:24:07,057 --> 00:24:09,125
- to get back to work.
- Victor... Horst.
577
00:24:11,862 --> 00:24:14,163
Where we at, Victor?
578
00:24:14,164 --> 00:24:16,999
I converted the diamonds to euros
579
00:24:17,001 --> 00:24:20,103
and funneled the cash
through a charity.
580
00:24:20,104 --> 00:24:23,106
- Yeah, the Orphans of Rwanda Fund?
- Yeah.
581
00:24:23,107 --> 00:24:25,608
Nobody questions dying orphans.
582
00:24:25,609 --> 00:24:27,510
Well, we, uh,
promised them ten percent.
583
00:24:27,511 --> 00:24:30,012
I called the orphanage.
They didn't receive their cut.
584
00:24:30,014 --> 00:24:32,081
Why the hell would you talk to them?
585
00:24:32,082 --> 00:24:34,684
It's called doing my job...
586
00:24:34,685 --> 00:24:36,152
- assclown.
- You don't work
587
00:24:36,153 --> 00:24:38,554
for Lucious Lyon anymore.
588
00:24:38,555 --> 00:24:41,290
You're supposed to just draw up
the transfer documents.
589
00:24:41,292 --> 00:24:43,359
So, tell me, Victor,
590
00:24:43,360 --> 00:24:45,995
how much money actually went
to the orphans?
591
00:24:45,996 --> 00:24:48,431
Here's the beauty of it:
I strong-armed
592
00:24:48,432 --> 00:24:50,066
the orphanage director
593
00:24:50,067 --> 00:24:52,502
to kick us back
the entire ten million.
594
00:24:52,503 --> 00:24:54,470
Eh...
595
00:24:54,471 --> 00:24:56,172
I did a little research.
596
00:24:56,173 --> 00:24:58,875
There's only nine million
in the offshore account.
597
00:25:00,978 --> 00:25:02,845
I think you made a mistake.
598
00:25:02,846 --> 00:25:05,581
Nah, I think you made
the mistake when you...
599
00:25:05,582 --> 00:25:06,816
pocketed...
600
00:25:06,817 --> 00:25:09,719
that ten... percent!
601
00:25:09,720 --> 00:25:13,222
I hate liars!
602
00:25:15,592 --> 00:25:18,294
You send two million dollars
to that orphanage.
603
00:25:18,295 --> 00:25:20,229
- Two million.
- Okay.
604
00:25:20,230 --> 00:25:23,266
And he is right about one thing:
I ain't no Lucious Lyon.
605
00:25:23,267 --> 00:25:25,735
I'm a lot more dangerous.
606
00:25:27,071 --> 00:25:28,538
Clean him up.
607
00:25:28,539 --> 00:25:31,541
Get him up. Roll this up.
Get him out of here.
608
00:25:40,184 --> 00:25:41,818
What we need
609
00:25:41,819 --> 00:25:43,553
is something bold and new
610
00:25:43,554 --> 00:25:45,588
to bring the fans back to Empire.
611
00:25:45,589 --> 00:25:47,123
That's what I'm talking about.
612
00:25:47,124 --> 00:25:49,759
What makes you think people will
even buy tickets to this tour?
613
00:25:49,760 --> 00:25:51,761
We can't even get fans
to download music.
614
00:25:51,762 --> 00:25:54,597
Exactly. Empire is
in a very delicate situation.
615
00:25:54,598 --> 00:25:57,900
- A tour could be crippling.
- From what I'm hearing,
616
00:25:57,901 --> 00:25:59,212
there's no clear vision on how to fund
617
00:25:59,236 --> 00:26:00,480
- this tour.
- No vision?
618
00:26:00,504 --> 00:26:02,438
I mean, you're responsible
for us being
619
00:26:02,439 --> 00:26:04,774
- in this position, Kelly.
- Excuse me?
620
00:26:04,775 --> 00:26:05,819
Yeah, excuse you.
621
00:26:05,843 --> 00:26:07,276
You hired the computer geek
622
00:26:07,277 --> 00:26:08,611
to run our company.
623
00:26:08,612 --> 00:26:10,056
So now you're gonna blame Kelly
624
00:26:10,080 --> 00:26:12,181
for Kingsley's vendetta
against his daddy?
625
00:26:12,182 --> 00:26:14,661
What do you know about
running a company, Giselle, huh?
626
00:26:14,685 --> 00:26:16,463
- Eddie made all of the decisions.
- Eddie made
627
00:26:16,487 --> 00:26:18,431
all the decisions?
First of all, that's not true.
628
00:26:18,455 --> 00:26:19,599
- Whatever. Shut up.
- Stop, everybody stop,
629
00:26:19,623 --> 00:26:20,667
stop! Will you stop?!
630
00:26:20,691 --> 00:26:22,024
Everybody stop!
631
00:26:23,260 --> 00:26:25,061
What the hell is wrong with you?!
632
00:26:25,062 --> 00:26:26,596
Every minute spent fighting
633
00:26:26,597 --> 00:26:29,999
is another Empire's not making money!
634
00:26:31,502 --> 00:26:34,804
How the hell can we expect
to rebuild our customers' trust?
635
00:26:34,805 --> 00:26:37,106

I think that is

00:27:37,682 --> 00:27:40,150
I think that is a number-one single.
658
00:27:40,151 --> 00:27:43,620
Yeah, now try and find somebody
to buy the damn thing.
659
00:27:43,621 --> 00:27:46,123
Look, all we got to do is give
the fans something undeniable.
660
00:27:46,124 --> 00:27:47,524
They'll come back.
661
00:27:49,160 --> 00:27:51,128
Give them something.
662
00:27:51,129 --> 00:27:52,496
Yes.
663
00:27:53,798 --> 00:27:56,099

Thirsty, we know
that you met Victor Horst
670
00:28:17,672 --> 00:28:19,439
in Damon Cross's hangar.
671
00:28:19,440 --> 00:28:21,208
Look, I don't know a Victor Horst.
672
00:28:21,209 --> 00:28:23,076
Really? So then how do you explain
673
00:28:23,077 --> 00:28:25,379
a dozen calls from your cell to his?
674
00:28:26,981 --> 00:28:28,882
We have phone records.
We have correspondence.
675
00:28:28,883 --> 00:28:33,053
We have checks from your account
to his company in Geneva.
676
00:28:34,789 --> 00:28:37,257
You know what? You're gonna
end up just like Victor Horst
677
00:28:37,258 --> 00:28:39,493
if you keep hanging out
with Damon Cross.
678
00:28:39,494 --> 00:28:41,862
So why don't you cooperate
so that we can protect you?
679
00:28:41,863 --> 00:28:43,874
Look, I've been with
the Lyons for a long time.
680
00:28:43,898 --> 00:28:45,732
Okay? They're like family to me.
681
00:28:45,733 --> 00:28:48,602
If Lucious wants to play poker,
I make a call, that's it.
682
00:28:48,603 --> 00:28:49,836
Mm-mm. That don't explain
683
00:28:49,838 --> 00:28:52,239
where he came up with the buy-in.
684
00:28:52,240 --> 00:28:54,675
Maybe Lucious isn't as broke
as what people think.
685
00:28:54,676 --> 00:28:56,910
So...
686
00:28:56,911 --> 00:28:58,745
his money real?
687
00:28:58,746 --> 00:29:01,281
Get me in the game tonight.
I want to meet him.
688
00:29:01,282 --> 00:29:03,083
For what?
689
00:29:03,084 --> 00:29:05,919
Hey. Get me in the game.
690
00:29:05,920 --> 00:29:08,332
- Look, all I'm saying is it's not
a good... - Nah. You made a call.
691
00:29:08,356 --> 00:29:09,890
You make another call.
692
00:29:15,830 --> 00:29:17,464
Get me in the game.
693
00:29:18,566 --> 00:29:20,334
Tonight.
694
00:29:27,775 --> 00:29:29,276
It's okay. All right.
695
00:29:29,277 --> 00:29:30,955
Get him in the game.
He wants to get in the game...
696
00:29:30,979 --> 00:29:32,590
What is the connection
between Damon Cross
697
00:29:32,614 --> 00:29:34,792
- and Lucious... - There is no
connection between Damon Cross
698
00:29:34,816 --> 00:29:37,017
- and Lucious Lyon.
- You're lying.
699
00:29:40,154 --> 00:29:42,823
So you're telling
me it's just a coincidence
700
00:29:42,824 --> 00:29:44,791
that Damon has this painting?
701
00:29:46,628 --> 00:29:48,439
- This is great. Okay.
- Hey.
702
00:29:48,463 --> 00:29:50,864
I was just on my way out,
and something was bugging me.
703
00:29:50,865 --> 00:29:52,833
Do-do you got a minute?
704
00:29:52,834 --> 00:29:54,001
Yeah. Sure.
705
00:29:58,406 --> 00:30:00,841
I owe you an apology.
706
00:30:00,842 --> 00:30:03,110
What for?
707
00:30:03,111 --> 00:30:06,213
Making Kingsley CEO over you.
708
00:30:06,214 --> 00:30:09,149
If I had made the right choice
in the first place,
709
00:30:09,150 --> 00:30:11,852
Empire wouldn't be in this mess.
710
00:30:11,853 --> 00:30:16,023
Well, I appreciate you
telling me this in person.
711
00:30:18,293 --> 00:30:21,995
Generally, I don't-I don't
like coming to New York.
712
00:30:21,996 --> 00:30:25,298
But seeing you
kind of makes it all worth it.
713
00:30:26,834 --> 00:30:29,202
Well, it's really good
to see you, too...
714
00:30:29,203 --> 00:30:31,505
- Kelly.
- Oh, my God.
715
00:30:31,506 --> 00:30:33,740
- Thank God I caught you.
- Lucious, I don't want
716
00:30:33,741 --> 00:30:35,776
- to relitigate any of this.
- Listen,
717
00:30:35,777 --> 00:30:38,111
under Kingsley's leadership,
718
00:30:38,112 --> 00:30:40,313
Empire betrayed the trust of its fans.
719
00:30:40,315 --> 00:30:41,548
Yeah, so...
720
00:30:41,549 --> 00:30:43,950
we owe our Empire family a debt.
721
00:30:43,952 --> 00:30:45,585
Let's repay it.
722
00:30:45,586 --> 00:30:47,154
Okay.
723
00:30:47,155 --> 00:30:49,689
- Okay, tell me how.
- We want to make
724
00:30:49,691 --> 00:30:53,026
the concert tour completely free.
725
00:30:53,027 --> 00:30:55,695
So your answer
726
00:30:55,697 --> 00:30:58,198
to "Empire can't afford a tour"
is to make the tour free?
727
00:30:58,199 --> 00:31:01,134
- Yes.
- That's heartfelt,
728
00:31:01,135 --> 00:31:04,171
but also reckless
and likely to bankrupt you.
729
00:31:04,172 --> 00:31:06,073
My 40% says no.
730
00:31:06,074 --> 00:31:07,574
Hell no.
731
00:31:07,575 --> 00:31:11,044
- Giselle?
- Look, I know it's crazy, but...
732
00:31:11,045 --> 00:31:13,413
this is exactly
the kind of grand mea culpa
733
00:31:13,414 --> 00:31:14,881
that just might work.
734
00:31:14,882 --> 00:31:16,083
Hear me out.
735
00:31:16,084 --> 00:31:17,984
The free publicity
will offset the costs.
736
00:31:17,986 --> 00:31:21,021
The tour will drive up
the record sales.
737
00:31:21,022 --> 00:31:23,657
I can't believe I'm saying this,
but I think I'm gonna side
738
00:31:23,658 --> 00:31:25,992
with Lucious and Cookie on this one.
739
00:31:25,994 --> 00:31:28,829
- Yes! Smart woman.
- Amen. Thank you. -
740
00:31:28,830 --> 00:31:31,731
All right. Majority rules.
741
00:31:31,733 --> 00:31:34,401
But... corporate
is not contributing a dime.
742
00:31:34,402 --> 00:31:36,736
No. We got all of this, man.
743
00:31:36,738 --> 00:31:38,271
You better.
744
00:31:38,272 --> 00:31:40,006
Because Empire will either end up
745
00:31:40,008 --> 00:31:41,675
bigger and stronger than ever
746
00:31:41,676 --> 00:31:43,253
or flat broke
and on the auction block.
747
00:31:43,277 --> 00:31:45,779
I'm going for bigger than ever.
748
00:31:45,780 --> 00:31:48,115
- Good luck. Cookie.
- Mm-hmm.
749
00:31:48,116 --> 00:31:50,150
- Thanks for nothin'.
- Look at you!
750
00:31:50,151 --> 00:31:53,520
- 20%. Thank you.
- Hey, shut up.
751
00:31:53,521 --> 00:31:57,290
- I mean, here we go.
- Yeah.
752
00:32:00,269 --> 00:32:02,837
Why would Damon Cross want a painting
753
00:32:02,838 --> 00:32:05,540
of two people he didn't even know?
754
00:32:08,077 --> 00:32:09,978
It's not what you think.
755
00:32:21,023 --> 00:32:22,490
Oh. Geez.
756
00:32:22,491 --> 00:32:25,048
You knew the game was gonna
get hit and you set me up?
757
00:32:25,072 --> 00:32:26,216
Who you-who you
talking about... Horst?
758
00:32:26,240 --> 00:32:27,417
Come on, man.
That don't make no sense.
759
00:32:27,441 --> 00:32:29,306
- What?
- I tried to tell you not to play.
760
00:32:29,307 --> 00:32:31,839
Tried to do what? You didn't
try to tell me nothing, man.
761
00:32:31,840 --> 00:32:33,351
Okay, I had nothing to do
with that robbery.
762
00:32:33,375 --> 00:32:34,853
- Come on.
- I don't care at all, man.
763
00:32:34,877 --> 00:32:37,545
I'm out $250K,
and I want it right now.
764
00:32:37,546 --> 00:32:40,448
Okay, okay... Okay, look.
765
00:32:40,449 --> 00:32:42,884
Okay, now, I can make it right.
I can make it right, okay?
766
00:32:42,885 --> 00:32:44,362
- You can make it right?
- Can I walk?
767
00:32:44,386 --> 00:32:46,721
Let me show you. Okay, look.
768
00:32:46,722 --> 00:32:49,423
All right.
769
00:32:49,425 --> 00:32:52,426
Just give me a second.
770
00:32:52,428 --> 00:32:54,529
This is an or-original
Derrick Adams, okay?
771
00:32:54,530 --> 00:32:56,697
It's worth at least half a million,
772
00:32:56,698 --> 00:32:58,599
twice what you lost, okay?
I can sell it
773
00:32:58,600 --> 00:32:59,978
in a couple days
and get you your money.
774
00:33:00,002 --> 00:33:02,170
Nah, you ain't selling it.
775
00:33:02,171 --> 00:33:04,231
I can-I can get you the money
in a couple of days.
776
00:33:05,307 --> 00:33:06,908
I kind of like it.
777
00:33:08,210 --> 00:33:11,078
Oh, okay. Okay, it's yours.
It's yours.
778
00:33:13,515 --> 00:33:15,683
Okay.
779
00:33:15,684 --> 00:33:18,286
You got me, all right?
I've been lying.
780
00:33:20,689 --> 00:33:22,490
I've been telling you
that this is a story
781
00:33:22,491 --> 00:33:24,792
about a guy and a girl,
but really this is a story
782
00:33:24,793 --> 00:33:27,295
about a guy trying to be
something that he's not.
783
00:33:28,263 --> 00:33:30,364
Okay.
784
00:33:34,903 --> 00:33:37,004
Vera... she, um...
785
00:33:37,005 --> 00:33:41,242
she liked the idea
of her man being a tough guy.
786
00:33:43,145 --> 00:33:46,013
But I'm not a tough guy.
787
00:33:46,014 --> 00:33:47,848
And I've never been on the inside
788
00:33:47,850 --> 00:33:50,218
with Lucious or Damon Cross.
789
00:33:50,219 --> 00:33:53,888
I was just trying to keep up
appearances to keep my girl.
790
00:33:53,889 --> 00:33:58,259
What does that have to do with
Damon Cross having the painting?
791
00:33:58,260 --> 00:34:00,695
Lucious' dumb ass... he-he thought
792
00:34:00,696 --> 00:34:03,464
he'd sucker Damon Cross into
a high-stakes poker game, but
793
00:34:03,465 --> 00:34:06,500
Damon turned the tables on him,
cleaned him out,
794
00:34:06,502 --> 00:34:08,469
took him for everything that night.
795
00:34:08,470 --> 00:34:10,504
Lucious had to pay him
with the painting.
796
00:34:10,506 --> 00:34:14,609
He got scared, and he made me
deliver it to him.
797
00:34:16,512 --> 00:34:18,546
So you're just a...
798
00:34:18,547 --> 00:34:20,848
mailman in a shiny suit?
799
00:34:22,885 --> 00:34:25,586
I was just trying to keep my girl.
800
00:34:31,226 --> 00:34:33,761
All right, everyone, listen up.
801
00:34:33,762 --> 00:34:36,731
We've gathered
our Empire family together
802
00:34:36,732 --> 00:34:39,233
to make a very special announcement.
803
00:34:39,234 --> 00:34:43,170
A dozen of Empire
and LFM artists are going
804
00:34:43,172 --> 00:34:46,641
to embark on a nationwide tour.
805
00:34:46,642 --> 00:34:48,276
Yes.
806
00:34:48,277 --> 00:34:50,945
It will be called The Trust Tour.
807
00:34:50,946 --> 00:34:53,614
And to regain the trust of our fans,
808
00:34:53,615 --> 00:34:57,051
all concert tickets
will be absolutely free.
809
00:34:57,052 --> 00:34:59,687
I-I'm sure you're thinking,
810
00:34:59,688 --> 00:35:02,390
if the tickets are free,
how do you get paid, right?
811
00:35:02,391 --> 00:35:04,859
Well, Empire's gonna
guarantee your pay.
812
00:35:04,860 --> 00:35:07,528
Everyone's gonna receive
their normal salaries
813
00:35:07,529 --> 00:35:10,364
and normal fees per contract.
814
00:35:10,365 --> 00:35:12,466
But to kick this thing off
the right way,
815
00:35:12,467 --> 00:35:14,502
what we're gonna do is start this off
816
00:35:14,503 --> 00:35:17,071
in the very same city
where Empire was born
817
00:35:17,072 --> 00:35:19,640
20 years ago...
the City of Brotherly Love,
818
00:35:19,641 --> 00:35:21,108
Philadelphia.
819
00:35:25,681 --> 00:35:28,149
What the hell happened to Andre?
He should be here.
820
00:35:28,150 --> 00:35:29,850
Uh, yeah, he's somewhere
in his feelings.
821
00:35:32,521 --> 00:35:35,556
You. I'm gonna need you to get ready,
822
00:35:35,557 --> 00:35:37,725
because I want you
to choreograph the whole thing.
823
00:35:37,726 --> 00:35:39,794
- Are you kidding?
- I'm not kidding.
824
00:35:39,795 --> 00:35:41,582
You got it. It's not a problem.
825
00:35:41,606 --> 00:35:42,574
Thank you so much.
826
00:35:42,598 --> 00:35:44,609
So you guys know y'all gonna
need a tour manager, right?
827
00:35:44,633 --> 00:35:46,167
Yeah, do you know of one?
828
00:35:46,168 --> 00:35:47,312
Yeah. You're looking at her.
829
00:35:47,336 --> 00:35:48,736
Girl, get your ass out of here.
830
00:35:48,737 --> 00:35:50,338
You good?
831
00:35:50,339 --> 00:35:52,406
- Yeah.
- That was beautiful, man, that love.
832
00:35:52,407 --> 00:35:54,542
Hey. You out here
planning tours for free?
833
00:35:54,543 --> 00:35:55,687
- Come here.
- For free, though?
834
00:35:55,711 --> 00:35:57,455
- Trust me on this one.
- All right,
835
00:35:57,479 --> 00:35:58,690
listen, everybody. I know this is
836
00:35:58,714 --> 00:36:00,381
gonna be one of the biggest
837
00:36:00,382 --> 00:36:03,150
and baddest tours
that Empire's ever set out on.
838
00:36:03,151 --> 00:36:04,752
So I'm gonna need y'all
839
00:36:04,753 --> 00:36:06,887
- to bring your A game.
- That's right.
840
00:36:06,888 --> 00:36:10,224
- To the Empire!
- To the Empire!
841
00:36:10,225 --> 00:36:12,126
Let's get to work.
842
00:36:12,127 --> 00:36:13,561
Hey. Hey.
843
00:36:23,505 --> 00:36:25,139
Guess what I got.
844
00:36:25,140 --> 00:36:27,208
Oh, just a little somethin' somethin'.
845
00:36:28,810 --> 00:36:31,412
This is my grandmother's...
846
00:36:33,315 --> 00:36:35,416
...secret recipe.
847
00:36:38,320 --> 00:36:40,421
I need your John Hancock.
848
00:36:40,422 --> 00:36:42,423
Mm, for what?
849
00:36:42,424 --> 00:36:44,692
Trust.
850
00:36:46,928 --> 00:36:51,632
I want Quincy to have the future
the system stole from him.
851
00:36:51,633 --> 00:36:53,934
And I want to give you the world.
852
00:36:58,073 --> 00:36:59,673
What's going on here?
853
00:37:01,777 --> 00:37:03,277
The nose...
854
00:37:03,278 --> 00:37:05,980
the nosebleeds, the...
855
00:37:05,981 --> 00:37:07,848
the doctor? This... The...
856
00:37:07,849 --> 00:37:10,684
Wh... What... what is this?
857
00:37:13,855 --> 00:37:17,124
I have cancer, Teri.
858
00:37:18,894 --> 00:37:21,996
Advanced lymphoma, stage IV.
859
00:37:23,565 --> 00:37:25,933
It's just... it's...
860
00:37:27,836 --> 00:37:30,438
It's a matter of time.
861
00:37:31,606 --> 00:37:33,107
I'm dying.
862
00:37:45,187 --> 00:37:48,989
How long... how long did they say...
863
00:37:48,990 --> 00:37:51,692
you... you have?
864
00:37:51,693 --> 00:37:54,728
Sign the papers, please, Teri.
865
00:37:54,730 --> 00:37:56,564
No, how long?
866
00:37:56,565 --> 00:37:58,399
A few months.
867
00:37:58,400 --> 00:38:00,568
Oh.
868
00:38:00,569 --> 00:38:02,670
At best.
869
00:38:32,375 --> 00:38:34,476
Thank you.
870
00:38:38,180 --> 00:38:40,849
The things a guy'll
do to impress a girl, huh?
871
00:38:40,850 --> 00:38:43,028
His story pans out, but
that doesn't make it the truth.
872
00:38:43,052 --> 00:38:44,819
Think we'll ever see him again?
873
00:38:44,820 --> 00:38:47,222
Probably. In a body bag.
874
00:38:47,223 --> 00:38:50,225
Get me everything we have
on the Lyon clan.
875
00:38:51,446 --> 00:38:53,894
I just have to find the precise crack
876
00:38:53,895 --> 00:38:55,730
and exert just the right amount
of pressure.
877
00:38:55,731 --> 00:38:57,164
Before you know it,
878
00:38:57,165 --> 00:38:59,467
Chicken and Waffles
will be behind bars.
879
00:39:02,904 --> 00:39:05,005
What?
880
00:39:15,350 --> 00:39:17,451
You okay, baby?
881
00:39:18,353 --> 00:39:20,988
Yeah.
882
00:39:20,989 --> 00:39:22,990
She's fine.
883
00:39:22,991 --> 00:39:25,526
We was just worried about you.
884
00:39:26,928 --> 00:39:28,929
Okay.
885
00:39:28,930 --> 00:39:31,298
You were right.
886
00:39:31,299 --> 00:39:33,300
The Feds have been on you for a while.
887
00:39:33,301 --> 00:39:34,345
Okay. What'd they know?
888
00:39:34,369 --> 00:39:35,970
Whole lot of nothing.
889
00:39:35,971 --> 00:39:38,339
- Even less after I finished talking.
- Good.
890
00:39:42,110 --> 00:39:44,245
Now you can go.
891
00:39:44,246 --> 00:39:46,347
- Help me out.
- Go straight home, okay?
892
00:39:46,348 --> 00:39:47,882
- I'm right behind you.
- Okay.
893
00:39:47,883 --> 00:39:50,851
Hey. Hey, hey, where you going?
894
00:39:50,852 --> 00:39:52,263
Listen, I did what you asked, okay?
895
00:39:52,287 --> 00:39:53,888
So now we're straight. I'm out.
896
00:39:53,889 --> 00:39:56,257
Nah, you ain't out till I say you out.
897
00:39:57,993 --> 00:40:00,861
I need you to keep an even
closer eye on Lucious for me.
898
00:40:00,862 --> 00:40:02,897
A closer eye on Lucious...
899
00:40:02,898 --> 00:40:04,899
or Cookie, my man?
900
00:40:09,571 --> 00:40:11,672
Yeah, that's what I thought.
901
00:40:16,674 --> 00:40:18,813
You know, six months ago,
902
00:40:18,814 --> 00:40:21,549
when we were stuck in that house
without any AC,
903
00:40:21,550 --> 00:40:23,851
with no prospects, with...
904
00:40:23,852 --> 00:40:26,353
without two nickels to rub together.
905
00:40:26,354 --> 00:40:27,955
Now look at us, man.
906
00:40:27,956 --> 00:40:29,390
We're back on the throne.
907
00:40:29,391 --> 00:40:31,759
I mean, this was worth fighting for.
908
00:40:31,760 --> 00:40:33,928
Yeah, it's still the biggest risk
909
00:40:33,929 --> 00:40:36,063
we've ever had to take, Lucious.
910
00:40:36,064 --> 00:40:38,098
Why are you being
so negative right now?
911
00:40:38,100 --> 00:40:40,701
I'm not negative.
I-I believe in us, okay?
912
00:40:40,702 --> 00:40:43,204
I'm just worried. I'm-I'm scared.
913
00:40:43,205 --> 00:40:46,807
For Empire. I'm scared about us.
914
00:40:46,808 --> 00:40:50,311
You know any time we've rolled
the dice on this family,
915
00:40:50,312 --> 00:40:52,112
we've always come up with seven.
916
00:40:53,081 --> 00:40:55,015
What happened with that meeting
917
00:40:55,016 --> 00:40:57,218
with that agent from L.A.?
918
00:40:58,653 --> 00:41:01,121
- Told her I'd think about it.
- You what?
919
00:41:01,123 --> 00:41:03,557
Baby, you're supposed to be
focused on this right now.
920
00:41:03,558 --> 00:41:05,659
Look, Lucious, like most women,
921
00:41:05,660 --> 00:41:08,395
I know how to multitask, okay?
922
00:41:08,396 --> 00:41:10,064
I am working on building
923
00:41:10,065 --> 00:41:11,709
my brand, which is only
gonna help Empire.
924
00:41:11,733 --> 00:41:13,177
I thought you would know that, genius.
925
00:41:13,201 --> 00:41:14,702
Your brand?
926
00:41:14,703 --> 00:41:16,971
Yeah. My brand. That's what I said.
927
00:41:16,972 --> 00:41:20,074
No, it's just funny that they're
trying to make you a star
928
00:41:20,075 --> 00:41:23,143
when you were already born
a celestial event.
929
00:41:23,145 --> 00:41:24,812
Come on.
930
00:41:24,813 --> 00:41:26,747
Celestial event.
931
00:41:26,748 --> 00:41:29,817
My brand. See it now?
932
00:41:38,093 --> 00:41:40,394
Hey.
933
00:41:40,395 --> 00:41:42,029
Andre.
934
00:41:43,165 --> 00:41:47,067
I cannot sign this, and I won't.
935
00:41:48,036 --> 00:41:49,247
It's for the both of you, Teri.
936
00:41:49,271 --> 00:41:50,738
It's for your future.
937
00:41:50,739 --> 00:41:52,506
Andre, if I sign these papers,
938
00:41:52,507 --> 00:41:55,643
that's me admitting
that there will be no future,
939
00:41:55,644 --> 00:41:57,745
that you'll be gone.
940
00:41:57,746 --> 00:42:00,080
That's what's gonna happen, Teri.
941
00:42:00,081 --> 00:42:02,049
You did not come into Quincy's life...
942
00:42:02,050 --> 00:42:05,219
into my life... by accident.
943
00:42:05,220 --> 00:42:07,955
My son is back at home
where he belongs
944
00:42:07,956 --> 00:42:09,657
because of you.
945
00:42:09,658 --> 00:42:13,360
This... this is not
how the story ends.
946
00:42:24,739 --> 00:42:26,407
You don't understand.
947
00:42:26,408 --> 00:42:27,808
I understand perfectly.
948
00:42:27,809 --> 00:42:30,911
- No, you don't.
- Yes, I do.
949
00:42:30,912 --> 00:42:34,014
I'm gonna help you fight, Andre.
950
00:42:34,015 --> 00:42:36,483
You...
951
00:42:36,484 --> 00:42:39,153
You did the impossible...
952
00:42:39,154 --> 00:42:41,255
for me.
953
00:42:43,258 --> 00:42:45,259
And so I'm gonna do
954
00:42:45,260 --> 00:42:47,795
the impossible for you.
955
00:42:51,399 --> 00:42:52,800
How?
956
00:42:55,370 --> 00:42:57,371
How?
957
00:43:07,482 --> 00:43:09,049
It's okay.
958
00:43:13,813 --> 00:43:20,227
