1
00:00:00,287 --> 00:00:02,051
Previously on Empire...
2
00:00:02,052 --> 00:00:03,407
I'm gonna spot you $10 mil
3
00:00:03,408 --> 00:00:04,542
for your 20 For 20.
4
00:00:04,543 --> 00:00:06,161
I could do another
"Drip Drop" in my sleep,
5
00:00:06,162 --> 00:00:07,098
but I need to go harder.
6
00:00:07,099 --> 00:00:08,178
She's not used to you yet.
7
00:00:08,179 --> 00:00:09,346
You were gone five months.
8
00:00:09,347 --> 00:00:10,633
You don't need your attorney.
9
00:00:10,634 --> 00:00:11,457
I'm off duty.
10
00:00:11,458 --> 00:00:12,658
I trust you, right?
11
00:00:12,659 --> 00:00:14,226
My father has a serious brain injury.
12
00:00:14,227 --> 00:00:15,427
We got to keep it under wraps.
13
00:00:15,428 --> 00:00:16,462
Get a grip, Angelo.
14
00:00:16,463 --> 00:00:19,098
Put this floundering self-pity to rest.
15
00:00:19,099 --> 00:00:20,499
It doesn't take a rocket scientist
16
00:00:20,500 --> 00:00:22,501
to figure out you're up to something.
17
00:00:22,502 --> 00:00:24,703
Was I a violent man?
18
00:00:24,704 --> 00:00:26,505
I was gone for 17 years
19
00:00:26,506 --> 00:00:28,273
because I was in prison.
20
00:00:28,274 --> 00:00:29,641
I want to know everything.
21
00:00:30,477 --> 00:00:31,444
What's up, y'all?
22
00:00:31,445 --> 00:00:34,493
Welcome back to 106 &
Park, BET's top ten live.
23
00:00:34,494 --> 00:00:35,704
Now, I need y'all to do me a favor.
24
00:00:35,705 --> 00:00:37,706
Y'all ready to do me a favor?
25
00:00:37,707 --> 00:00:41,110
That's my man up there.
26
00:00:41,111 --> 00:00:42,878
All right, mark down this date,
27
00:00:42,879 --> 00:00:45,948
this time, who you're
with, where you are, because
28
00:00:45,949 --> 00:00:47,650
this brother from Philly, Lucious Lyon,
29
00:00:47,651 --> 00:00:49,618
- is making his TV debut...
- Change the channel.
30
00:00:49,619 --> 00:00:50,986
...and history.
31
00:00:50,987 --> 00:00:53,756
Uh, I-I was watching that.
32
00:00:53,757 --> 00:00:56,525
- Yeah, now we're watching this.
- Yo.
33
00:00:56,526 --> 00:00:59,662
- Don't even bother. She got it on lock.
- Ugh.
34
00:00:59,663 --> 00:01:00,963
Nah, man.
35
00:01:00,964 --> 00:01:02,331
Poundcake, right?
36
00:01:02,332 --> 00:01:04,667
Wait a minute. Poundcake?
37
00:01:04,668 --> 00:01:06,869
Why-why was her name Poundcake?
38
00:01:06,870 --> 00:01:10,506
Look, how you want me
to tell the story? Huh?
39
00:01:10,507 --> 00:01:12,641
You want it blow by
blow, with me telling you
40
00:01:12,642 --> 00:01:14,677
how every bitch got
her wack-ass nickname,
41
00:01:14,678 --> 00:01:16,679
or you just gonna let me tell the story?
42
00:01:16,680 --> 00:01:19,281
I mean, ever since I've
been out, you've never cared
43
00:01:19,282 --> 00:01:20,649
about my prison life.
44
00:01:20,650 --> 00:01:23,352
That was Lucious, but I'm asking.
45
00:01:23,353 --> 00:01:25,587
It's important. I need to
know everything that happened.
46
00:01:25,588 --> 00:01:28,424
All right.
47
00:01:28,425 --> 00:01:31,527
Well, then, let me back up
and set the scene for you.
48
00:01:31,528 --> 00:01:34,730
I got real cool with Chyna
49
00:01:34,731 --> 00:01:36,732
and all the Philly girls, of course.
50
00:01:36,733 --> 00:01:39,902
And, uh, we was cool
with the Latina chicks
51
00:01:39,903 --> 00:01:44,006
and was cool with the Chinese,
Japanese, or the Vietnamese.
52
00:01:44,007 --> 00:01:45,841
Whatever. The Asians.
53
00:01:45,842 --> 00:01:47,676
Child, the Asians.
54
00:01:47,677 --> 00:01:49,178
And we did not get along
55
00:01:49,179 --> 00:01:51,413
with them white chicks
56
00:01:51,414 --> 00:01:54,750
or the wild-ass Jamaicans.
57
00:01:54,751 --> 00:01:56,752
And Chyna had the...
58
00:01:56,753 --> 00:01:59,154
Ugh. She had a serious beef
with them D.C. girls, man.
59
00:01:59,155 --> 00:02:02,524
I don't know what it was, but
60
00:02:02,525 --> 00:02:04,760
they was wild, man. They had nicknames
61
00:02:04,761 --> 00:02:08,731
like Yunk Yunk,
Butterball, and Poundcake.
62
00:02:08,732 --> 00:02:10,399
Look, I ain't trying to disrespect you,
63
00:02:10,400 --> 00:02:12,901
but I'm gonna politely
ask you to turn that back
64
00:02:12,902 --> 00:02:15,337
- to BET 'cause I was watching that.
- Oh, well, since you asked
65
00:02:15,338 --> 00:02:17,206
so pretty, I'll politely tell you no.
66
00:02:17,207 --> 00:02:19,742
Now move your bama
ass out my sight lines.
67
00:02:19,743 --> 00:02:22,745
- So, what'd you do?
- What you think I did?
68
00:02:30,420 --> 00:02:33,789
Then she leaned down to
my ear, talking about,
69
00:02:33,790 --> 00:02:35,824
"You know why I'm in here? For eating
70
00:02:35,825 --> 00:02:39,094
bitches like you for breakfast
and going on about my day."
71
00:02:44,167 --> 00:02:45,968
And she cut you?
72
00:02:45,969 --> 00:02:47,636
She sure did.
73
00:02:47,637 --> 00:02:49,471
That wasn't my first fight, Lucious.
74
00:02:49,472 --> 00:02:52,007
And it sure as hell wasn't my last.
75
00:02:52,008 --> 00:02:54,643
But there were things that
happened to me in prison
76
00:02:54,644 --> 00:02:56,678
that cut deeper than a knife.
77
00:02:56,679 --> 00:02:58,847
Believe that.

79
00:03:05,822 --> 00:03:09,258
- Lucious can't see me like this.
- So don't pick a fight
80
00:03:09,259 --> 00:03:12,461
with a chick named
Poundcake day before a visit.
81
00:03:12,462 --> 00:03:14,763
You're lucky nobody told,
or you'd be in the hole.
82
00:03:14,764 --> 00:03:17,099
Ouch. Can you...? Do you
know what you're doing?
83
00:03:17,100 --> 00:03:18,834
Are you questioning my skill set?
84
00:03:18,835 --> 00:03:20,903
- I was good enough for Lil' Kim.
- Just go easy.
85
00:03:20,904 --> 00:03:22,437
- Come...
- Still sore.
86
00:03:22,438 --> 00:03:24,173
- What the hell is this?
- Nothing.
87
00:03:24,174 --> 00:03:26,809
- Huh?
- Nothing.
88
00:03:26,810 --> 00:03:28,844
- It's contraband.
- I know, but my husband's coming
89
00:03:28,845 --> 00:03:30,112
- to visit me today.
- Well, he's gonna have
90
00:03:30,113 --> 00:03:31,780
to see you the way God made you...
91
00:03:31,781 --> 00:03:33,515
hood rat turned into a punching bag.
92
00:03:33,516 --> 00:03:36,652
Wipe that off your face
before I throw you in the hole.
93
00:03:36,653 --> 00:03:39,187
Beauty tips, huh, Chyna?
94
00:03:42,525 --> 00:03:44,526
Yeah, she snitched,
95
00:03:44,527 --> 00:03:47,296
but her fat ass was
the least of my worries.
96
00:03:50,166 --> 00:03:53,135
- Hey.
- Like I said, I'm gonna
97
00:03:53,136 --> 00:03:55,537
take care of you for this.
98
00:03:55,538 --> 00:03:58,573
- Hey. - I tried to get us
a little privacy, but...
99
00:04:00,276 --> 00:04:02,511
It's okay.
100
00:04:02,512 --> 00:04:04,513
- It's not o... What happened to her face?!
- I'm okay.
101
00:04:04,514 --> 00:04:06,615
Lucious. Lucious, come here.
102
00:04:06,616 --> 00:04:09,484
Look, our time is too precious
to be thinking about that.
103
00:04:09,485 --> 00:04:11,820
Look, I saw you on BET.
104
00:04:11,821 --> 00:04:14,489
You was so fine up there.
105
00:04:14,490 --> 00:04:16,859
- That was nothing.
- Oh, come on now, Lucious.
106
00:04:16,860 --> 00:04:19,862
Don't downplay it like
that. It was everything.
107
00:04:19,863 --> 00:04:22,564
It was exactly what AJ said...
108
00:04:22,565 --> 00:04:24,733
"Remember where you are at this moment."
109
00:04:24,734 --> 00:04:27,494
So all I'm thinking about is
where I'm at and where you are.
110
00:04:27,495 --> 00:04:28,737
- And where...
- Hey, look, Lu...
111
00:04:28,738 --> 00:04:32,341
Lucious, I'm gonna be
here for a long time, okay?
112
00:04:32,342 --> 00:04:34,743
So might as well get used to it.
113
00:04:34,744 --> 00:04:37,913
I can deal with what comes at me in here
114
00:04:37,914 --> 00:04:41,884
as long as I know you're out
there growing what we built.
115
00:04:41,885 --> 00:04:46,855
'Cause it's you and me...
Cookie and Lucious forever.
116
00:04:48,391 --> 00:04:51,093
Tell me about my babies.
117
00:04:51,094 --> 00:04:54,596
How are my babies doing?
118
00:04:54,597 --> 00:04:57,399
Well, Andre... he's a little...
119
00:04:58,768 --> 00:05:00,903
Something not right.
120
00:05:00,904 --> 00:05:03,238
But Jamal... he's been good, and he...
121
00:05:03,239 --> 00:05:06,041
he wants to see you for his birthday.
122
00:05:06,042 --> 00:05:07,910
Mm, no, Lucious.
123
00:05:07,911 --> 00:05:12,247
This ain't no place for
no boy for his birthday.
124
00:05:12,248 --> 00:05:16,351
Not unless he really want
to come, just, I guess.
125
00:05:16,352 --> 00:05:18,353
I remember this.
126
00:05:21,190 --> 00:05:25,127
I brought Jamal to see you the next time.
127
00:05:29,799 --> 00:05:32,534
Wait. Am I remembering this correctly?
128
00:05:32,535 --> 00:05:35,771
You did bring Jamal, but...
129
00:05:41,811 --> 00:05:44,846
Where's your father?
130
00:05:46,649 --> 00:05:49,251
I never came back, did I?
131
00:05:49,252 --> 00:05:53,789
I guess it was just hard
for you to see me like that.
132
00:05:53,790 --> 00:05:55,791
It hurt.
133
00:05:55,792 --> 00:05:57,626
It hurt me to the core,
134
00:05:57,627 --> 00:06:00,762
but it made me self-sufficient,
135
00:06:00,763 --> 00:06:03,532
and, on the inside,
it-it... it made me strong.
136
00:06:03,533 --> 00:06:05,033
It made me hard.
137
00:06:05,034 --> 00:06:07,769
That's a sad lesson to learn by yourself.
138
00:06:09,439 --> 00:06:11,606
He should have been there for you.
139
00:06:11,607 --> 00:06:13,608
He should have.
140
00:06:13,609 --> 00:06:16,411
He should have after
everything you sacrificed.
141
00:06:16,412 --> 00:06:17,946
- He who?
- He.
142
00:06:17,947 --> 00:06:20,215
Him. Me. Lucious.
143
00:06:20,216 --> 00:06:24,319
If he loved you half as
much as he says he did,
144
00:06:24,320 --> 00:06:25,787
he would have never abandoned you.
145
00:06:25,788 --> 00:06:29,491
He would have... put you first.
146
00:06:29,492 --> 00:06:33,095
I'm gonna be a better man than he was.
147
00:06:33,096 --> 00:06:36,999
I'm gonna make it up to you
for everything he did wrong.
148
00:06:40,003 --> 00:06:42,004
How can you make up for something
149
00:06:42,005 --> 00:06:43,972
you don't even remember?
150
00:06:48,044 --> 00:06:51,046
The sun's up. I got
to get ready for work.
151
00:06:51,047 --> 00:06:53,949
Okay, well, maybe you're right.
152
00:06:53,950 --> 00:06:56,618
Maybe I can't make up for a
yesterday I don't remember,
153
00:06:56,619 --> 00:06:59,654
but I can make today right.
154
00:06:59,655 --> 00:07:01,256
I can go down to Empire with you
155
00:07:01,257 --> 00:07:02,991
- and support you.
- No, no, no, no, no.
156
00:07:02,992 --> 00:07:06,194
Remember you said it didn't
go so well when Jamal took you.
157
00:07:06,195 --> 00:07:08,030
It wasn't that bad, and...
158
00:07:08,031 --> 00:07:10,499
Okay, maybe it was.
159
00:07:10,500 --> 00:07:13,268
What I'm saying is, I'd
like to try it again.
160
00:07:13,269 --> 00:07:16,872
And I think, with your help,
I could make it through it.
161
00:07:16,873 --> 00:07:18,974
With my help?
162
00:07:21,878 --> 00:07:24,112
Okay. Well, then, let's go.
163
00:07:24,113 --> 00:07:27,315
Where are we going?
164
00:07:27,316 --> 00:07:31,152
Dwight. Cookie. What'd I miss?
165
00:07:37,518 --> 00:07:39,251
Welcome back.
166
00:07:39,252 --> 00:07:40,719
Nice to have you back, Lucious.
167
00:07:40,720 --> 00:07:42,922
- Nice to have you back, Lucious.
- Welcome back, Lucious.
168
00:07:42,923 --> 00:07:44,723
- Looking good, Lucious.
- Happy to have you back.
169
00:07:44,724 --> 00:07:47,526
Look out. Here he comes.
170
00:07:47,527 --> 00:07:49,528
If this gets too stressful
for Dwight, I'm gonna...
171
00:07:49,529 --> 00:07:51,931
I-I don't want to hear
Dwight stuff, okay?
172
00:07:51,932 --> 00:07:53,799
- Wow.
- This is the house
173
00:07:53,800 --> 00:07:56,302
that Lucious built. Our house, our rules.
174
00:07:56,303 --> 00:07:58,704
Lucious! Lucious, hi!
175
00:07:58,705 --> 00:08:01,073
- It's so nice to see you.
- That's Becky.
176
00:08:01,074 --> 00:08:04,009
Becky was promoted to head of A&R after
177
00:08:04,010 --> 00:08:06,712
- all those years of being your assistant.
- Wow.
178
00:08:06,713 --> 00:08:10,082
Well, you know what they say.
Cream always rises to the top.
179
00:08:10,083 --> 00:08:13,185
- Congratulations.
- Thank you. It is so good to see you.
180
00:08:13,186 --> 00:08:14,887
- You, too.
- You say I'm reckless, but I hid him
181
00:08:14,888 --> 00:08:16,388
when I brought him
here. What was the sense
182
00:08:16,389 --> 00:08:18,557
if Mom was just gonna
walk him in the front door?
183
00:08:18,558 --> 00:08:21,093
- Yeah. What the hell is she doing?
- These came for you.
184
00:08:21,094 --> 00:08:22,928
There's a card in there, too.
185
00:08:22,929 --> 00:08:24,730
Who they from? _
186
00:08:24,731 --> 00:08:26,932
Yeah, thank you. None of your business.
187
00:08:26,933 --> 00:08:29,468
"For tomorrow?" Who you
meeting with tomorrow?
188
00:08:29,469 --> 00:08:33,772
Hey. I need all hands on deck
keeping our family secret.
189
00:08:33,773 --> 00:08:36,742
- Lucious! What's up?! How you doing?
- Huh?
190
00:08:36,743 --> 00:08:38,377
- Good to see you!
- Hi.
191
00:08:38,378 --> 00:08:40,779
Welcome back. Where your suit?
192
00:08:40,780 --> 00:08:42,414
You looking like a... hippie and stuff.
193
00:08:42,415 --> 00:08:44,183
But you look good. You look good.
194
00:08:44,184 --> 00:08:46,452
- Why didn't you keep him home?
- Because he wants to be
195
00:08:46,453 --> 00:08:49,021
a part of all of this,
and I couldn't say no.
196
00:08:49,022 --> 00:08:51,023
So we'll just keep it short and sweet.
197
00:08:51,024 --> 00:08:53,792
We'll have him listen to Hakeem's song,
198
00:08:53,793 --> 00:08:56,195
- and we'll send him home with
Nurse Ratchet. - Well, Mom,
199
00:08:56,196 --> 00:08:57,629
Hakeem's not even here. He's at his house
200
00:08:57,630 --> 00:08:59,098
arguing with Anika
about Bella's birthday.
201
00:08:59,099 --> 00:09:00,766
Uh-uh, uh-uh-uh.
Tell him to get
202
00:09:00,767 --> 00:09:03,068
his ass down here. He
can bring my grandbaby.
203
00:09:03,069 --> 00:09:05,104
Can y'all believe she
having a birthday already?
204
00:09:05,105 --> 00:09:07,473
- Yeah. Time flies.
- I know.
205
00:09:07,474 --> 00:09:10,008
Come on. I need help with your dad.
206
00:09:13,646 --> 00:09:16,015
Amnesia?
207
00:09:16,016 --> 00:09:18,017
Like in a soap opera.
208
00:09:18,018 --> 00:09:21,420
He don't even know his name.
209
00:09:21,421 --> 00:09:22,855
He wants them to call him Dwight.
210
00:09:22,856 --> 00:09:24,189
- You're not serious.
- I'm serious.
211
00:09:24,190 --> 00:09:27,126
He has migraines, outbursts.
212
00:09:27,127 --> 00:09:30,863
He treats his nurse like family
and his family like strangers.
213
00:09:30,864 --> 00:09:33,432
Hakeem never breathed a word of this.
214
00:09:33,433 --> 00:09:35,367
And how did you get this information?
215
00:09:35,368 --> 00:09:37,536
In bed with your catamite?
216
00:09:37,537 --> 00:09:39,889
Excuse me? Catamite?
217
00:09:39,890 --> 00:09:42,041
It's a line from an
Anthony Burgess novel.
218
00:09:42,042 --> 00:09:45,444
Okay, so you found your razor,
you made it to your meeting.
219
00:09:45,445 --> 00:09:47,579
That does not entitle you to be a snob.
220
00:09:47,580 --> 00:09:50,015
Right. I'm just saying,
221
00:09:50,016 --> 00:09:52,518
how do we know he's
not playing you... cuz?
222
00:09:52,519 --> 00:09:56,021
Because I'm not like you... cuz.
223
00:09:56,022 --> 00:09:58,857
'Cause when I sleep with
a Lyon, I get the goods.
224
00:09:58,858 --> 00:10:00,325
- And there it is.
- Thank you for sharing.
225
00:10:00,326 --> 00:10:03,162
- That's good work.
- Thank you.
226
00:10:03,163 --> 00:10:04,430
Much appreciated, and, Angelo,
227
00:10:04,431 --> 00:10:06,331
the running commentary from the sidelines
228
00:10:06,332 --> 00:10:07,933
is interesting.
229
00:10:07,934 --> 00:10:09,901
But why don't you do something useful?
230
00:10:10,737 --> 00:10:12,704
Really.
231
00:10:16,042 --> 00:10:17,910
You want to use some ear plugs?
232
00:10:17,911 --> 00:10:21,880
No. No, I want to participate
and not really hide.
233
00:10:21,881 --> 00:10:23,248
- But thank you.
- Hit it, Rekkhan.

What you think about that, Dad?

00:11:01,454 --> 00:11:04,556
Does it remind you
of Jay-Z on Blueprint?
252
00:11:04,557 --> 00:11:08,494
I mean, I don't know
much about architecture,
253
00:11:08,495 --> 00:11:09,995
but I was really inspired by
254
00:11:09,996 --> 00:11:11,763
the amount of effort
you've put into that.
255
00:11:11,764 --> 00:11:14,166
Okay, Hakeem, that definitely was not
256
00:11:14,167 --> 00:11:15,734
the song you were
supposed to be working on.
257
00:11:15,735 --> 00:11:18,170
'Cause I got to keep
it real, track by track.
258
00:11:18,171 --> 00:11:20,105
Exposing hypocrisy in democracy.
259
00:11:20,106 --> 00:11:22,141
What do you think, Ma?
260
00:11:22,142 --> 00:11:25,310
Uh, there were some
nice things in it, son.
261
00:11:25,311 --> 00:11:27,146
You know what? Why don't
you go get something to eat?
262
00:11:27,147 --> 00:11:29,948
Come on, y'all. Marcel.
And, uh, let us discuss it.
263
00:11:29,949 --> 00:11:32,184
All right, Dad.
264
00:11:34,521 --> 00:11:36,155
What was that?
265
00:11:36,156 --> 00:11:38,390
- I do not know.
- What? You didn't like that?
266
00:11:38,391 --> 00:11:40,526
I just bet $100 million
of other peoples' money
267
00:11:40,527 --> 00:11:43,195
that Empire would showcase a legacy
268
00:11:43,196 --> 00:11:45,164
with that boy's album as the Alpha
269
00:11:45,165 --> 00:11:46,632
and Jamal as the Omega.
270
00:11:46,633 --> 00:11:48,800
But guess what. That wasn't it.
271
00:11:48,801 --> 00:11:51,637
I mean, I really didn't like
the-the nature of the song,
272
00:11:51,638 --> 00:11:53,805
you know, but he was so passionate
273
00:11:53,806 --> 00:11:55,474
in how he was delivering that.
274
00:11:55,475 --> 00:11:57,194
You know, Lucious, you just came back
275
00:11:57,195 --> 00:11:59,793
at the perfect time
because you always come up
276
00:11:59,794 --> 00:12:02,781
with some crazy, Machiavellian
scheme to save the day.
277
00:12:02,782 --> 00:12:04,383
Like, remember that time
278
00:12:04,384 --> 00:12:06,718
Diddy canceled on us
24 hours right before
279
00:12:06,719 --> 00:12:08,787
- the Radio City Music Hall show?
- Uh, no, no.
280
00:12:08,788 --> 00:12:10,355
Not-not, uh, Radio City.
281
00:12:10,356 --> 00:12:11,857
Um, just last night, Dad was
282
00:12:11,858 --> 00:12:13,392
telling me about one of the concerts
283
00:12:13,393 --> 00:12:15,060
he had in Philly, and you're right, Pop.
284
00:12:15,061 --> 00:12:17,362
What you did there was exactly
what you said we should do
285
00:12:17,363 --> 00:12:19,164
with 20 For 20.
286
00:12:19,165 --> 00:12:20,999
Oh.
287
00:12:22,869 --> 00:12:26,338
Um...
288
00:12:26,339 --> 00:12:27,639
exactly.
289
00:12:27,640 --> 00:12:29,541
Here's the thing.
290
00:12:29,542 --> 00:12:32,211
All of Empire's artists want to
be a part of this 20 For 20, so
291
00:12:32,212 --> 00:12:35,047
let's get 'em out in front of
us right away, see what they got.
292
00:12:35,048 --> 00:12:37,115
Tell them to bring their
sharpest weapon to the fight,
293
00:12:37,116 --> 00:12:39,451
because they are all
competing for the Alpha spot,
294
00:12:39,452 --> 00:12:42,421
and only one is gonna be left standing.
295
00:12:42,422 --> 00:12:44,289
I like that.
296
00:12:44,290 --> 00:12:45,791
A fight to the death.
297
00:12:47,460 --> 00:12:50,529
Well, let the games begin.
298
00:12:50,530 --> 00:12:53,932
You did it again, Lucious. Genius.
299
00:12:56,291 --> 00:12:58,908
♪ Leave 'em in the
dust, arrivederci ♪

00:12:58,909 --> 00:13:01,511

- Good job.
- I really like his look.
307
00:13:11,922 --> 00:13:14,824
Mm-hmm. Let's see what
we working with today.
308
00:13:14,825 --> 00:13:17,126
- Hello.
- What's with all this fight-to-death, Ma?
309
00:13:17,127 --> 00:13:18,628
I gave you gold.
310
00:13:18,629 --> 00:13:20,930
Boy, right now, I'm not
your mother. I'm the label.
311
00:13:20,931 --> 00:13:22,899
And what you gave me ain't
gonna cut it. Excuse me.
312
00:13:22,900 --> 00:13:26,102
So, you're all Empire's premier artists,
313
00:13:26,103 --> 00:13:27,503
and what we're looking for is...
314
00:13:27,504 --> 00:13:30,339
I need somebody else to
launch the 20 For 20, okay?
315
00:13:30,340 --> 00:13:33,309
So that means all of you are
competing for the Alpha spot.
316
00:13:33,310 --> 00:13:37,480
- You, too, Jamal. - Well, I'm
already Omega, boo, so I'm good.
317
00:13:37,481 --> 00:13:39,382
Uh, we past that. Everybody's competing.
318
00:13:39,383 --> 00:13:40,716
The creative process doesn't
319
00:13:40,717 --> 00:13:42,785
- work like that, Cookie.
- Well, it does today,
320
00:13:42,786 --> 00:13:47,223
sweetness, especially if Empire
decides to shelve your project.
321
00:13:47,224 --> 00:13:49,525
You know what? That's
exactly what I will do
322
00:13:49,526 --> 00:13:51,394
to anyone who hands in crap.
323
00:13:51,395 --> 00:13:53,963
Mom, are you ser... Y'all trippin'.
324
00:13:53,964 --> 00:13:56,465
- Y'all have fun with that, enjoy.
- Good-bye, boy,
325
00:13:56,466 --> 00:13:57,633
'cause don't nobody have time for that.
326
00:13:57,634 --> 00:14:00,069
- Bye, Ma.
- I don't have time for your poor,
327
00:14:00,070 --> 00:14:03,506
your tired. I want
your passion, your pain,
328
00:14:03,507 --> 00:14:05,975
your drive. Show me how you fight.
329
00:14:08,679 --> 00:14:11,514
Yes, showtime.
330
00:14:11,515 --> 00:14:14,717
Cookie, this is just too much
and too fast for Dwight. I...
331
00:14:14,718 --> 00:14:16,986
Okay, didn't you say that, um,
332
00:14:16,987 --> 00:14:19,420
he should tell us what
he wants and needs?
333
00:14:19,421 --> 00:14:20,990
Well, he already said
he wants to be here, so
334
00:14:20,991 --> 00:14:23,526
why don't you go home
and take a load off?
335
00:14:23,527 --> 00:14:25,161
I'll take it from here, okay?
336
00:14:25,162 --> 00:14:26,729
Do what nurses do, child, I don't know.
337
00:14:26,730 --> 00:14:28,631
Who's... who's first?
338
00:14:28,632 --> 00:14:31,334
- Uh, Tiana.
- Mm-hmm, and she...
339
00:14:31,335 --> 00:14:34,170
is-is-is... who is
this? Is she after her?

Not to be about that competition life.
401
00:16:53,610 --> 00:16:57,546
But even if I was, I have
literally nothing to present.
402
00:16:57,547 --> 00:16:59,648
What about that song that
you played me the other night?
403
00:16:59,649 --> 00:17:02,651
That duet. That was the hottest
song I've heard in forever.
404
00:17:02,652 --> 00:17:04,086
Oh, yeah, but that was about addiction,
405
00:17:04,087 --> 00:17:06,589
and I want to make an
album of all love songs.
406
00:17:06,590 --> 00:17:08,457
Well, love can be just as powerful a drug
407
00:17:08,458 --> 00:17:09,525
as any other substance.
408
00:17:09,526 --> 00:17:11,360
- True.
- It's two people
409
00:17:11,361 --> 00:17:13,129
singing about their addiction to love.
410
00:17:13,130 --> 00:17:16,465
Plus, didn't Lucious and Mary J.
Blige do a duet back in the day?

ain't no mountain high enough.

Let's try it. Come on.

No. No. No, no, no, no.
415

417
00:17:36,920 --> 00:17:38,350

421
00:17:44,648 --> 00:17:46,695

pledging your loyalty to Team Dubois.
423
00:17:49,556 --> 00:17:51,742
Well, your mother let me
rot in jail for five months,
424
00:17:51,743 --> 00:17:53,135

best interest at heart?

00:20:55,986 --> 00:20:58,331
- What? - He brought his
pain in here because that's
492
00:20:58,332 --> 00:21:00,756

493

These new lyrics are not there yet.
524
00:22:36,249 --> 00:22:38,416
Everybody understands substance abuse,
525
00:22:38,417 --> 00:22:40,819
but, you know, do they understand love
526
00:22:40,820 --> 00:22:42,554
and sex addiction?
527
00:22:42,555 --> 00:22:44,322
What, it's too hard-core?
528
00:22:44,323 --> 00:22:45,557
Please.
529
00:22:45,558 --> 00:22:47,325
When I get around certain people,
530
00:22:47,326 --> 00:22:48,593
it's like...
531
00:22:48,594 --> 00:22:50,262
it's like I'm getting high.
532
00:22:50,263 --> 00:22:53,231
Like you trying to
get high off of TaKeem?
533
00:22:55,234 --> 00:22:57,002
Well, more her than him.
534
00:22:57,003 --> 00:23:00,372
I don't know, I just get really
overwhelmed by my feelings
535
00:23:00,373 --> 00:23:04,142
and end up acting out really intensely,
536
00:23:04,143 --> 00:23:06,511
and I think I scare people
away. Then I end up alone.
537
00:23:06,512 --> 00:23:07,846
I'm the exact opposite
538
00:23:07,847 --> 00:23:10,382
'cause that kind of intimacy...
539
00:23:10,383 --> 00:23:12,384
freaks me out.
540
00:23:12,385 --> 00:23:14,219
You seemed pretty intimate
with Warren the other night.
541
00:23:14,220 --> 00:23:15,821
I know. Right?
542
00:23:15,822 --> 00:23:17,355
- Yeah.
- I don't know.
543
00:23:17,356 --> 00:23:19,224
I just... I feel like he's different.
544
00:23:19,225 --> 00:23:23,195
You're the first person I
said this to out loud, but...
545
00:23:23,196 --> 00:23:27,098
I think he could be my one.
546
00:23:27,099 --> 00:23:29,568
- Your one?
- Yeah, maybe.
547
00:23:29,569 --> 00:23:32,237
My dad would say that about my mom.
548
00:23:32,238 --> 00:23:34,105
"She's my one."
549
00:23:34,106 --> 00:23:36,608
And right before his accident,
I got a glimpse into that,
550
00:23:36,609 --> 00:23:38,710
and it was so...
551
00:23:38,711 --> 00:23:41,546
so pure and so real.
552
00:23:43,416 --> 00:23:46,484
I don't want to settle for
anything less than that.
553
00:23:55,494 --> 00:23:57,696
Hey, Pop.
554
00:23:57,697 --> 00:23:59,397
What are you doing here?
555
00:23:59,398 --> 00:24:01,559
I thought you were helping
Cookie choose the first album.
556
00:24:01,560 --> 00:24:04,002
I think your mother's had
enough of me for the day.
557
00:24:04,003 --> 00:24:05,904
I mean, she can't see what I hear,
558
00:24:05,905 --> 00:24:08,673
and I can't hear the things she see.
559
00:24:08,674 --> 00:24:10,642
I just think it's better I go home.
560
00:24:13,246 --> 00:24:16,448
Crimson.
561
00:24:16,449 --> 00:24:18,083
That's the same sharp,
562
00:24:18,084 --> 00:24:19,818
bleeding pain
563
00:24:19,819 --> 00:24:21,553
that I see in you.
564
00:24:21,554 --> 00:24:24,422
Are you okay?
565
00:24:24,423 --> 00:24:26,458
You seem so different.
566
00:24:28,060 --> 00:24:30,629
Come on, Pop.
567
00:24:30,630 --> 00:24:32,831
I'll walk you out.
568
00:24:35,434 --> 00:24:38,069
- Why those colors?
- I don't know.
569
00:24:38,070 --> 00:24:40,472
Somebody sent them to me.
570
00:24:40,473 --> 00:24:43,508
- Well, get rid of 'em.
- Pop.
571
00:24:44,310 --> 00:24:45,944
Hakeem, I've tried.
572
00:24:45,945 --> 00:24:48,313
There's absolutely no way
that I can get that many berets
573
00:24:48,314 --> 00:24:49,547
in that raspberry color.
574
00:24:49,548 --> 00:24:51,883
It's one for each guest.
We need tambourines.
575
00:24:51,884 --> 00:24:53,485
We need doves. Write that down.
576
00:24:53,486 --> 00:24:54,986
Okay, look, that's enough.
577
00:24:54,987 --> 00:24:56,354
Y'all can figure it
out. It's not that deep.
578
00:24:56,355 --> 00:24:58,723
It's a princess and
Prince birthday party.
579
00:24:58,724 --> 00:25:00,292
May he rest in peace.
580
00:25:00,293 --> 00:25:03,600
And, Anika, you are here as a courtesy.
581
00:25:03,829 --> 00:25:04,930
So you need to calm down.
582
00:25:04,931 --> 00:25:06,398
Hey, everybody.
583
00:25:06,399 --> 00:25:08,667
Pop wanted to see his office before...
584
00:25:08,668 --> 00:25:12,103
- Nobody told me my granddaughter was here.
- Shh.
585
00:25:12,104 --> 00:25:13,438
She's asleep in her stroller.
586
00:25:13,439 --> 00:25:15,407
Anika is here,
587
00:25:15,408 --> 00:25:17,442
um, because she's
planning her daughter...
588
00:25:17,443 --> 00:25:18,510
your granddaughter's...
589
00:25:18,511 --> 00:25:20,478
- birthday party.
- Anika.
590
00:25:20,479 --> 00:25:21,546
Yes.
591
00:25:21,547 --> 00:25:23,548
Hi. How are you?
592
00:25:23,549 --> 00:25:27,118
Better now that I'm out of jail.
593
00:25:27,119 --> 00:25:29,521
- She was in prison, too?
- Uh, jail ain't prison,
594
00:25:29,522 --> 00:25:31,990
and she wasn't in there
long enough to break a nail.
595
00:25:31,991 --> 00:25:34,125
Look, Lucious is leaving.
He just came to stop by.
596
00:25:34,126 --> 00:25:36,127
- I wanted to see Bella.
- I'm sorry I did not come
597
00:25:36,128 --> 00:25:37,729
see you in the hospital.
I'm sure you would have come
598
00:25:37,730 --> 00:25:39,364
to see me in jail if
you had been able to.
599
00:25:39,365 --> 00:25:41,533
After all, you are the
reason that I was there.
600
00:25:46,339 --> 00:25:49,207
Listen, I'm...
601
00:25:49,208 --> 00:25:52,143
Anika, I'm sorry for
anything I did wrong to you.
602
00:25:52,144 --> 00:25:54,779
I really am.
603
00:25:58,617 --> 00:26:01,152
A sincere apology?
604
00:26:01,153 --> 00:26:02,220
Wow.
605
00:26:02,221 --> 00:26:03,455
Lucious, what is this for?
606
00:26:03,456 --> 00:26:04,622
For, uh...
607
00:26:04,623 --> 00:26:06,157
forcing me into a sham marriage?
608
00:26:06,158 --> 00:26:07,692
Or for ripping my child
609
00:26:07,693 --> 00:26:08,994
out of my arms for six months?
610
00:26:08,995 --> 00:26:10,328
Who the hell you think you are
611
00:26:10,329 --> 00:26:11,563
- to judge anybody?
- Andre!
612
00:26:11,564 --> 00:26:12,630
- What, you forgot? Did you forget?
- Andre!
613
00:26:12,631 --> 00:26:14,366
- Do you need me to remind you?
- Calm down!
614
00:26:14,367 --> 00:26:15,367
Orient yourself.
615
00:26:16,402 --> 00:26:17,702
- Just breathe.
- Just breathe.
616
00:26:17,703 --> 00:26:18,837
- Just calm down.
- Breathe.
617
00:26:18,838 --> 00:26:21,373
Orient yourself around the room
618
00:26:21,374 --> 00:26:23,141
and find another way to express
619
00:26:23,142 --> 00:26:26,578
what you're feeling.
620
00:26:26,579 --> 00:26:28,046
Just breathe, Dre.
621
00:26:31,450 --> 00:26:33,685
You're not the only person in this family
622
00:26:33,686 --> 00:26:35,553
to forget things.
623
00:26:36,889 --> 00:26:39,557
Something else happened
the day Bella was born.
624
00:26:43,796 --> 00:26:47,032
Rhonda.
625
00:26:47,033 --> 00:26:49,801
Oh, I'm so sorry.
626
00:26:49,802 --> 00:26:51,803
Somebody sent me flowers today.
627
00:26:53,539 --> 00:26:56,541
I thought it was one of you, but...
628
00:26:57,977 --> 00:26:59,978
I should have known better.
629
00:26:59,979 --> 00:27:02,080
I told you my wife died, Pop,
630
00:27:02,081 --> 00:27:04,949
but I didn't tell you how.
631
00:27:04,950 --> 00:27:06,584
Screaming.
632
00:27:06,585 --> 00:27:09,054
Every bone in her body...
633
00:27:09,055 --> 00:27:10,822
broken.
634
00:27:12,058 --> 00:27:14,225
And the last face she saw,
635
00:27:14,226 --> 00:27:15,760
it was...
636
00:27:17,296 --> 00:27:20,065
But because you all felt
that protecting family secrets
637
00:27:20,066 --> 00:27:21,800
was more important
than telling the truth,
638
00:27:21,801 --> 00:27:23,068
she got away with murder.
639
00:27:23,069 --> 00:27:24,702
And now here you are,
640
00:27:24,703 --> 00:27:27,972
planning her baby's birthday party
641
00:27:27,973 --> 00:27:29,774
while my family,
642
00:27:29,775 --> 00:27:31,476
my family...
643
00:27:31,477 --> 00:27:33,645
- rots in the ground!
- Andre!
644
00:27:33,646 --> 00:27:37,415
But that's how it goes, Pop.
645
00:27:38,517 --> 00:27:39,751
That's how it always goes for me.
646
00:27:53,059 --> 00:27:55,026
You were right. I was wrong.
647
00:27:55,027 --> 00:27:57,028
Oh.
648
00:27:57,029 --> 00:27:58,263
Is there...
649
00:27:58,264 --> 00:28:01,766
is there something that-that you need?
650
00:28:01,767 --> 00:28:05,170
Just a big, fat "I told you so."
651
00:28:06,339 --> 00:28:10,008
Well, he was, um...
652
00:28:10,009 --> 00:28:12,644
disoriented when he got home.
653
00:28:12,645 --> 00:28:14,646
We were gonna do some somatic work,
654
00:28:14,647 --> 00:28:16,214
but I just put him to bed.
655
00:28:16,215 --> 00:28:19,684
I just wanted Lucious'
first day back to Empire
656
00:28:19,685 --> 00:28:22,087
to be amazing.
657
00:28:22,088 --> 00:28:24,222
Guess he wasn't ready.
658
00:28:24,223 --> 00:28:27,058
I did read the book you gave me.
659
00:28:27,059 --> 00:28:29,928
- Great.
- And there's a section in it about, uh,
660
00:28:29,929 --> 00:28:32,264
identifying, uh, the crossroads?
661
00:28:32,265 --> 00:28:34,099
I'm looking for it with him.
662
00:28:34,100 --> 00:28:36,268
We're using lucid dreaming.
663
00:28:36,269 --> 00:28:38,169
I think I know Lucious' crossroads.
664
00:28:38,170 --> 00:28:40,238
I've been there.
665
00:28:40,239 --> 00:28:41,473
Seen it.
666
00:28:41,474 --> 00:28:42,974
I'm-I'm thinking about taking him.
667
00:28:42,975 --> 00:28:44,576
- Like it says in the book...
- Oh, no.
668
00:28:44,577 --> 00:28:45,944
Please, please don't.
669
00:28:45,945 --> 00:28:47,145
Don't take him there.
670
00:28:47,146 --> 00:28:49,581
It's too soon.
671
00:28:49,582 --> 00:28:52,918
Listen, Cookie, this really
could be a critical tool
672
00:28:52,919 --> 00:28:56,154
once his core identity is more stable.
673
00:28:56,155 --> 00:28:57,922
But in the right time.
674
00:28:59,191 --> 00:29:03,128
Tell me about it.
675
00:29:04,030 --> 00:29:07,432
Well, it's back in Philly.
676
00:29:07,433 --> 00:29:10,435
It's a lion statue in the hood.
677
00:29:10,436 --> 00:29:13,071
And Lucious slept under it
678
00:29:13,072 --> 00:29:15,240
the first night he was homeless.
679
00:29:15,241 --> 00:29:17,142
Back when he was, uh...
680
00:29:17,143 --> 00:29:18,910
Dwight Walker.
681
00:29:18,911 --> 00:29:21,946
He was only nine years old.
682
00:29:24,483 --> 00:29:26,117
Don't you think it's a
little late in the game
683
00:29:26,118 --> 00:29:27,986
for you to be changing
your tracks now, baby?
684
00:29:27,987 --> 00:29:30,455
Yeah, but I can't help
that. I mean, Tory and I
685
00:29:30,456 --> 00:29:32,090
kind of tweaked the lyrics last night,
686
00:29:32,091 --> 00:29:33,158
but it's still bothering me.
687
00:29:33,159 --> 00:29:35,860
Let me see.
688
00:29:37,229 --> 00:29:39,731
Well, unless you secretly been
into Taylor Swift all this time,
689
00:29:39,732 --> 00:29:41,299
maybe it's the line
about smeared red lips
690
00:29:41,300 --> 00:29:42,400
and smudged eyeliner.
691
00:29:42,401 --> 00:29:44,135
What am I supposed to do?
692
00:29:44,136 --> 00:29:46,171
I'm supposed to sing about
scruffy faces in the morning?
693
00:29:46,172 --> 00:29:47,305
No, I didn't say all of that.
694
00:29:47,306 --> 00:29:48,840
But, you know, I don't know.
695
00:29:48,841 --> 00:29:51,943
True. I mean, honestly, why not?
696
00:29:51,944 --> 00:29:53,178
What?
697
00:29:53,179 --> 00:29:56,181
Well, scruffy faces, no.
698
00:29:56,182 --> 00:29:58,183
But it's been feeling fake,
699
00:29:58,184 --> 00:30:00,318
and if I'm gonna sing about love,
700
00:30:00,319 --> 00:30:02,554
I should sing about the way that I love.
701
00:30:03,656 --> 00:30:05,290
Love?
702
00:30:05,291 --> 00:30:07,225
They don't call it
"making like," do they?
703
00:30:17,470 --> 00:30:19,571
We just heard all the
best Empire has to offer.
704
00:30:19,572 --> 00:30:21,773
- Still not good enough.
- What in the hell is this?
705
00:30:21,774 --> 00:30:23,408
So, what-what-what
do we do now?
706
00:30:23,409 --> 00:30:25,877
Well, thank the music gods
707
00:30:25,878 --> 00:30:28,046
Jamal actually agreed
to come in and audition.
708
00:30:28,047 --> 00:30:29,714
And he's doing a duet.
709
00:30:29,715 --> 00:30:31,783
With who?
710
00:30:31,784 --> 00:30:33,718
Oh, no, no.
711
00:30:33,719 --> 00:30:36,454
No, Snow White. Didn't I tell you no?
712
00:30:36,455 --> 00:30:38,256
Cookie, just listen to the song, okay?
713
00:30:38,257 --> 00:30:39,624
It'll knock the rocks off
your little collar there.
714
00:30:39,625 --> 00:30:41,726
No! Jamal,
715
00:30:41,727 --> 00:30:43,094
- can you fix this?
- Yo, I-I'm...
716
00:30:43,095 --> 00:30:44,362
I'm sorry for, um, being late.
717
00:30:44,363 --> 00:30:47,032
I was working on the song all night long.
718
00:30:47,033 --> 00:30:49,234
Tory, I love you, you know I do,
719
00:30:49,235 --> 00:30:50,635
but I had to take you off the song.
720
00:30:50,636 --> 00:30:52,237
- What?
- Yes. I'm trying to make an album
721
00:30:52,238 --> 00:30:54,072
- full of love songs. I'm sorry.
- What?
722
00:30:54,073 --> 00:30:55,440
- And that can't include me?
- No, it can't.
723
00:30:55,441 --> 00:30:57,242
I'm sorry.
724
00:30:57,243 --> 00:30:59,377
Take your little song.
I don't need you anyway.
725
00:30:59,378 --> 00:31:00,845
I'm done. You guys are ridiculous.
726
00:31:00,846 --> 00:31:02,681
- This is just absolutely absurd.
- All right, she mad at me...
727
00:31:02,682 --> 00:31:04,015
Bye-bye. Thank you.
728
00:31:05,418 --> 00:31:08,253
Anyway, I've got to make music that...
729
00:31:08,254 --> 00:31:09,788
If it's gonna be a love song,
730
00:31:09,789 --> 00:31:11,122
it's got to reflect the way that I love.
731
00:31:11,123 --> 00:31:12,424
So I'm going to sing a duet,
732
00:31:12,425 --> 00:31:13,625
but it's gonna be with a man.
733
00:31:13,626 --> 00:31:15,460
Warren?
734
00:31:15,461 --> 00:31:16,294
Warren?
735
00:31:16,295 --> 00:31:18,129
Uh-uh. Warren is a lawyer.
736
00:31:18,130 --> 00:31:19,898
He is not an Empire artist.
737
00:31:19,899 --> 00:31:21,266
Becky, chill out, okay?
738
00:31:21,267 --> 00:31:22,801
'Cause, first of all,
you know the boy can sing.
739
00:31:22,802 --> 00:31:25,470
- He's all right.
- He's just gonna demo it for now.
740
00:31:25,471 --> 00:31:26,471
- Just listen.
- Okay, well,
741
00:31:26,472 --> 00:31:27,939
can y'all hurry up?
You're wasting my time.
742
00:31:27,940 --> 00:31:29,140
I'm on deadline.
743
00:31:29,141 --> 00:31:31,776
Don't pay attention to
anybody. Just sing to me.

Welcome. Welcome. Welcome.
Listen, I want to thank y'all
790
00:33:21,420 --> 00:33:25,757
for coming out to celebrate my
princess's first birthday party.
791
00:33:25,758 --> 00:33:28,493
Bella Lyon!
792
00:33:33,399 --> 00:33:34,732
This for you, baby.
793
00:33:34,733 --> 00:33:37,001
- Let's hit it.
- Yay.
794
00:33:41,507 --> 00:33:44,242
Dearly beloved...
795
00:33:44,243 --> 00:33:47,812
We're gathered here today to get
through this thing called life.
796
00:33:49,648 --> 00:33:51,616
Electric word, life.
797
00:33:51,617 --> 00:33:53,284
It means forever, and that's
798
00:33:53,285 --> 00:33:56,254
a mighty long time,
but I'm here to tell you
799
00:33:56,255 --> 00:33:58,423
there's something else.
800
00:33:58,424 --> 00:34:00,859
The afterworld.
801

you know the one... Dr.
Everything'll Be All Right...
806
00:34:16,275 --> 00:34:18,443
instead of asking him how
much of your time is left,
807
00:34:18,444 --> 00:34:21,446

808

things are much harder

don't celebrate no birthdays?
811

- See? That's what I said.

00:34:31,690 --> 00:34:34,792
That's exactly what I told
him, but what do I know?

- say something.
- ♪ Your birthday
868
00:38:08,433 --> 00:38:10,568
♪ Your birth, it's your
birthday, your birthday... ♪
869
00:38:10,569 --> 00:38:12,770
I'm so sorry that we forgot
870
00:38:12,771 --> 00:38:15,306
how sad this day was
for you, for all of us.
871
00:38:15,307 --> 00:38:16,874
It's not Bella's fault.
872
00:38:16,875 --> 00:38:19,310
This family needs to find
light where it can, so...
873
00:38:19,311 --> 00:38:21,879
Yeah.
874
00:38:21,880 --> 00:38:25,149
Dre, look, you know we love you, right?
875
00:38:25,150 --> 00:38:28,085
We're not a family without you.
876
00:38:28,086 --> 00:38:29,287
We need you.
877
00:38:29,288 --> 00:38:32,490
Maybe Pop was onto something
878
00:38:32,491 --> 00:38:34,725
with this whole, you
know, kumbaya business.
879
00:38:34,726 --> 00:38:36,260
Yeah, he was. You know what?
880
00:38:36,261 --> 00:38:38,763
I owe him an apology. Where is he?
881
00:38:38,764 --> 00:38:40,298
I don't know, I haven't seen him.
882
00:38:40,299 --> 00:38:42,333
Okay, glad to see you, though.
883
00:38:45,337 --> 00:38:47,638
- For you, ma'am.
- Thank you, James.
884
00:38:47,639 --> 00:38:49,140
You're welcome.
885
00:38:49,141 --> 00:38:52,310
Hmm. I cannot wait to
see what is happening
886
00:38:52,311 --> 00:38:54,211
in the Metro Observer.
887
00:38:54,212 --> 00:38:56,314
Ooh!
888
00:38:56,315 --> 00:38:58,082
- Wow.
- Huh.
889
00:38:58,083 --> 00:38:59,550
They work fast.
890
00:38:59,551 --> 00:39:01,752
Well, they owe me more
favors than I can count.
891
00:39:01,753 --> 00:39:03,888
Enjoy the sneak preview.
892
00:39:03,889 --> 00:39:07,424
The final edition will be lethal.
893
00:39:24,710 --> 00:39:27,979
If you're here to arrest
me, you could at least do it
894
00:39:27,980 --> 00:39:31,315
in some place other than
my niece's birthday party.
895
00:39:31,316 --> 00:39:34,785
I was looking at your files.
896
00:39:34,786 --> 00:39:37,188
I saw that today is the day your wife...
897
00:39:39,558 --> 00:39:42,326
I've already been
incredibly unprofessional,
898
00:39:42,327 --> 00:39:45,196
and I'm probably an idiot for it,
899
00:39:45,197 --> 00:39:47,665
but I thought you might
be in for a tough day.
900
00:39:47,666 --> 00:39:50,067
You sent the flowers.
901
00:39:50,068 --> 00:39:53,104
What's up, Dre?
902
00:39:53,105 --> 00:39:56,273
- What's up?
- Okay.
903
00:39:56,274 --> 00:39:59,610
Let's get the hell out of here.
904
00:40:05,083 --> 00:40:06,517
- Oh, man, that's shady.
- Wait a minute.
905
00:40:06,518 --> 00:40:08,686
- What?
- What are you doing?
906
00:40:08,687 --> 00:40:10,721
Wait, wait, wait, wait.
Before we open up any gifts,
907
00:40:10,722 --> 00:40:13,424
where is Anika? We-we can't
open up gifts until her...
908
00:40:13,425 --> 00:40:15,526
Mom, we don't need
Anika to open gifts up.
909
00:40:15,527 --> 00:40:17,361
I don't know, y'all.
All these gifts, I swear.
910
00:40:17,362 --> 00:40:18,929
North West and them, they
about to call us gauche.
911
00:40:18,930 --> 00:40:21,599
No. Shut up. North West ain't
got nothing on Bella Lyon.
912
00:40:21,600 --> 00:40:23,634
Bella, look.
913
00:40:23,635 --> 00:40:25,469
Bella, boo. There you are.
914
00:40:25,470 --> 00:40:29,306
Happy birthday, Bella.
915
00:40:29,307 --> 00:40:31,175
Can't believe it's already been a year.
916
00:40:31,176 --> 00:40:34,345
- Uh, what the hell are you doing here?
- I invited him.
917
00:40:34,346 --> 00:40:36,347
Oh. So I see you still
like my sloppy seconds.
918
00:40:36,348 --> 00:40:38,582
Oh, Cookie.
919
00:40:38,583 --> 00:40:40,184
Though Anika may be more my taste
920
00:40:40,185 --> 00:40:42,787
- than your ghetto ass ever was, she...
- Ha.
921
00:40:42,788 --> 00:40:44,522
- No, what you come up in here with this?
- No, no, sit down.
922
00:40:44,523 --> 00:40:47,291
- He ain't worth it.
- We didn't come here as a couple.
923
00:40:47,292 --> 00:40:49,527
I came with a gift, though not for Bella.
924
00:40:49,528 --> 00:40:53,364
This gift is for... the baby's father.
925
00:40:53,365 --> 00:40:57,334
So this is how you treat
us after we include you?
926
00:40:57,335 --> 00:40:59,136
Thank you for including me
927
00:40:59,137 --> 00:41:01,472
in my own daughter's
birthday party, Cookie.
928
00:41:01,473 --> 00:41:03,340
But if there's anything that I've learned
929
00:41:03,341 --> 00:41:05,476
in the last few years, very personally,
930
00:41:05,477 --> 00:41:07,678
is that the Lyons will destroy everything
931
00:41:07,679 --> 00:41:09,346
- that they put their hands on.
- Mm.
932
00:41:09,347 --> 00:41:13,851
Therefore, I will not allow
you to destroy my daughter.
933
00:41:13,852 --> 00:41:17,154
Angelo is here as my attorney.
934
00:41:17,155 --> 00:41:20,091
I am suing for sole custody of Bella.
935
00:41:20,092 --> 00:41:23,727
Ugh.
936
00:41:25,697 --> 00:41:27,698
Here are our demands.
937
00:41:27,699 --> 00:41:29,233
Happy reading.
938
00:41:29,234 --> 00:41:31,769
Happy birthday.
939
00:41:49,855 --> 00:41:52,022
Where... where are we?
940
00:41:52,023 --> 00:41:54,425
This is the crossroads
where little Dwight Walker
941
00:41:54,426 --> 00:41:57,361
became Lucious Lyon.
942
00:42:14,412 --> 00:42:18,015
Do you see him there?
943
00:42:21,553 --> 00:42:24,255
He looks so sad and alone.
944
00:42:24,256 --> 00:42:26,590
I understand. I know
what that feels like.
945
00:42:29,728 --> 00:42:32,730
To be sad and alone.
946
00:42:32,731 --> 00:42:36,233
But he doesn't ever
have to be alone again.
947
00:42:36,234 --> 00:42:38,702
If you want to change that,
948
00:42:38,703 --> 00:42:41,272
you can choose a
different path right now.
949
00:42:41,273 --> 00:42:43,874
It's up to you.
950
00:42:43,875 --> 00:42:46,043
Would you come with me?
951
00:42:46,044 --> 00:42:49,342
Yes, if you want me to.
952
00:42:49,343 --> 00:42:51,959
