1
00:00:00,918 --> 00:00:02,162
Previously on Empire...
2
00:00:02,186 --> 00:00:05,381
It fits you, but remember,
I'm back now.
3
00:00:05,382 --> 00:00:08,080
We need you to make a public statement
4
00:00:08,081 --> 00:00:09,425
clarifying what you said
about abortion.
5
00:00:09,449 --> 00:00:10,426
We don't need the...
6
00:00:10,450 --> 00:00:11,427
I was pretty clear.
7
00:00:11,451 --> 00:00:12,929
I'm a Bossy lady now.
8
00:00:12,953 --> 00:00:15,431
You signed her behind my back.
9
00:00:15,455 --> 00:00:17,433
Philly Street used to be hot
back in the day.
10
00:00:17,457 --> 00:00:18,668
He's a nobody.
11
00:00:18,692 --> 00:00:19,802
Philly Street.
12
00:00:19,826 --> 00:00:22,004
I heard you've been talking about me.
13
00:00:22,028 --> 00:00:23,639
Therapy's for white people, girl.
14
00:00:23,663 --> 00:00:25,942
You need to deal with this
before you get fired.
15
00:00:25,966 --> 00:00:28,344
I can't sleep.
16
00:00:28,368 --> 00:00:29,785
Why can't I sleep?
17
00:00:53,026 --> 00:00:54,136
Ain't nothing in this world
18
00:00:54,160 --> 00:00:56,772
I haven't fought long and hard for:
19
00:00:56,796 --> 00:01:00,176
My freedom, my family, my life.
20
00:01:02,035 --> 00:01:03,379
Never in a million years did I think
21
00:01:03,403 --> 00:01:05,314
it would end like this.
22
00:01:05,338 --> 00:01:08,924
Boy, did I underestimate
your weak ass.
23
00:01:26,826 --> 00:01:28,137
What I wouldn't give to see
24
00:01:28,161 --> 00:01:31,440
your beautiful smile again, baby.
25
00:01:31,464 --> 00:01:35,845
I am so sorry I let that
lying bitch steal your heart.
26
00:01:37,871 --> 00:01:40,182
Cookie stole everything from me.
27
00:01:40,206 --> 00:01:42,051
Everything.
28
00:01:42,075 --> 00:01:45,521
I promise you, my darling,
29
00:01:45,545 --> 00:01:49,258
I will take back what's mine.

00:02:09,803 --> 00:02:11,147
Uh...
32
00:02:11,171 --> 00:02:14,216
Lucious, what are you doing in here?
33
00:02:14,240 --> 00:02:17,386
This is the master bedroom,
and I'm the master.
34
00:02:17,410 --> 00:02:19,355
Fine.
35
00:02:19,379 --> 00:02:22,792
I thought you was comfortable
over there in the guest wing.
36
00:02:22,816 --> 00:02:25,394
You've been hiding out
over there for days.
37
00:02:25,418 --> 00:02:29,131
Okay, now, why is my stuff
in these cheap-ass boxes?
38
00:02:29,155 --> 00:02:31,801
'Cause I'm moving back
into my bedroom,
39
00:02:31,825 --> 00:02:34,770
and I want you out of here
by the end of the night.
40
00:02:34,794 --> 00:02:37,440
You can move into any room that
makes you feel comfortable.
41
00:02:37,464 --> 00:02:38,774
You can be the guest.
42
00:02:38,798 --> 00:02:41,777
You must be out of your damn mind.
43
00:02:41,801 --> 00:02:46,182
No, I'm tired of living
in my house like I'm a guest.
44
00:02:46,206 --> 00:02:48,384
Why are you coming at me
like this, Lucious?
45
00:02:48,408 --> 00:02:50,920
You know why I'm coming at you!
46
00:02:50,944 --> 00:02:52,721
You betrayed me.
47
00:02:52,745 --> 00:02:56,759
When I was good to you,
you lied to me.
48
00:02:56,783 --> 00:03:00,530
Negro, I have forgiven you
a million times
49
00:03:00,531 --> 00:03:02,909
for your dirty, little filthy lies,
50
00:03:02,933 --> 00:03:05,712
and you can't forgive me for once?
51
00:03:05,736 --> 00:03:07,381
'Cause you don't deserve it.
52
00:03:09,607 --> 00:03:13,820
You humiliated me by confiding
in that son of a bitch Damon.
53
00:03:13,844 --> 00:03:17,824
Damon held me hostage,
and shot me because of you.
54
00:03:17,848 --> 00:03:19,766
No, because of you.
55
00:03:21,085 --> 00:03:23,463
Juanita!
56
00:03:23,487 --> 00:03:26,032
I got research for my show,
57
00:03:26,056 --> 00:03:28,502
and I have a fundraiser to host.
58
00:03:28,526 --> 00:03:29,803
- I don't have time for this BS.
- Do me a favor.
59
00:03:29,827 --> 00:03:31,705
Have the movers move these boxes
60
00:03:31,729 --> 00:03:32,739
into whatever room Cookie wants.
61
00:03:32,763 --> 00:03:35,642
Juanita, ignore him.
He's on his period.
62
00:03:35,666 --> 00:03:38,311
Why don't y'all just call me
when you've made up your mind
63
00:03:38,312 --> 00:03:39,893
about what you really want to do?
64
00:03:39,894 --> 00:03:41,204
Nobody asked for...
65
00:03:41,228 --> 00:03:42,239
Nobody asked you nothing, Juanita.
66
00:03:42,263 --> 00:03:44,207
Thank you. Bye-bye.
67
00:03:46,700 --> 00:03:50,013
That one-legged fool
holds grudges like a toddler.
68
00:03:50,037 --> 00:03:52,416
Hmm.
69
00:03:52,440 --> 00:03:55,919
You talked a great deal about Lucious.
70
00:03:55,943 --> 00:03:59,256
So, if Lucious is, in your words,
71
00:03:59,280 --> 00:04:03,660
the problem,
why are you fighting so hard
72
00:04:03,684 --> 00:04:06,329
to stay in the house with him?
73
00:04:06,353 --> 00:04:08,832
Well, because Empire built that house.
74
00:04:08,856 --> 00:04:10,333
Damn right.
75
00:04:10,357 --> 00:04:14,337
And I built Empire,
so that makes it my damn house.
76
00:04:14,361 --> 00:04:17,808
And Andre is there
with my new grandbaby,
77
00:04:17,832 --> 00:04:19,676
and I'm not going nowhere this time.
78
00:04:19,700 --> 00:04:21,945
That's the family house,
and I shouldn't have to leave.
79
00:04:21,969 --> 00:04:24,081
Nope, not this time. Mm-mm.
80
00:04:24,105 --> 00:04:26,583
So, it's not Lucious
that's keeping you there?
81
00:04:26,607 --> 00:04:27,918
No.
82
00:04:27,942 --> 00:04:29,612
I didn't miss his ass
when he was gone.
83
00:04:30,845 --> 00:04:34,558
You know, when we were young,
my sister Carol brought home
84
00:04:34,582 --> 00:04:37,627
this little mangy lost dog,
85
00:04:37,651 --> 00:04:40,030
and that little thing just,
"Yap, yap, yap, yap."
86
00:04:40,054 --> 00:04:42,632
I just... and he had nasty fur
87
00:04:42,656 --> 00:04:44,334
that he got all over everything.
88
00:04:44,358 --> 00:04:48,572
And when his owner
finally came and got him,
89
00:04:48,596 --> 00:04:50,540
I kind of missed him.
90
00:04:50,564 --> 00:04:52,209
You know, like that.
91
00:04:52,233 --> 00:04:54,250
Okay, so you're
comparing your husband,
92
00:04:54,251 --> 00:04:56,062
the man you married twice,
the father of your children
93
00:04:56,086 --> 00:04:58,064
with whom you built Empire
94
00:04:58,088 --> 00:05:01,501
to a mangy dog?
95
00:05:01,525 --> 00:05:03,136
And I'm being nice.
96
00:05:03,160 --> 00:05:05,938
But see, you would
understand if you met him.
97
00:05:05,962 --> 00:05:07,140
Okay.
98
00:05:07,164 --> 00:05:09,275
Let's discuss setting up
99
00:05:09,299 --> 00:05:11,811
some clear and healthy boundaries
100
00:05:11,835 --> 00:05:13,813
while you and your mangy dog...
101
00:05:13,837 --> 00:05:14,814
Mm-hmm.
102
00:05:14,838 --> 00:05:16,155
Are under the same roof.
103
00:05:36,560 --> 00:05:38,137
Philly Street.
104
00:05:38,161 --> 00:05:41,440
How you doing, brother?
105
00:05:41,464 --> 00:05:43,776
Huh.
106
00:05:43,800 --> 00:05:46,112
You kicked me out of your movie.
107
00:05:46,136 --> 00:05:48,721
Now you come all the way
down here to rub it in my face?
108
00:05:48,738 --> 00:05:51,884
No, you just popped up
out of the middle of nowhere.
109
00:05:51,908 --> 00:05:53,653
What was that about?
110
00:05:53,677 --> 00:05:55,822
Everybody knows there
wouldn't be no Lucious Lyon
111
00:05:55,846 --> 00:05:57,056
if it wasn't for Philly Street.
112
00:05:57,080 --> 00:05:58,891
Oh, you think so, huh?
113
00:05:58,915 --> 00:06:01,027
Oh, I know so.
114
00:06:04,387 --> 00:06:06,899
Now I'm spitting with you.
115
00:06:06,923 --> 00:06:10,369
Lucious, I was locked up for a dub.
116
00:06:10,393 --> 00:06:13,272
I been let that go.
117
00:06:13,296 --> 00:06:15,441
But this movie, that's your job, man.
118
00:06:15,465 --> 00:06:18,177
Do whatever the hell you choose.
119
00:06:18,201 --> 00:06:19,345
But I am honored
that you took the time
120
00:06:19,369 --> 00:06:21,314
to come down and see me.
121
00:06:23,306 --> 00:06:25,885
Ain't you full of surprises, man?
122
00:06:25,909 --> 00:06:27,353
I thought I was gonna come down here;
123
00:06:27,377 --> 00:06:28,354
you'd be all...
124
00:06:28,378 --> 00:06:29,856
Bent out of shape,
125
00:06:29,880 --> 00:06:31,657
'cause you blew up
when I was locked up?
126
00:06:31,681 --> 00:06:33,359
Hell no.
127
00:06:33,383 --> 00:06:35,728
I meant no disrespect, man.
128
00:06:35,752 --> 00:06:38,898
It's just this is
the Lucious Lyon legacy.
129
00:06:38,922 --> 00:06:41,400
Philly Street deserves
his own damn movie, man.
130
00:06:41,424 --> 00:06:43,102
Nah.
131
00:06:43,126 --> 00:06:46,072
Lucious, there's not one day
that I don't regret
132
00:06:46,096 --> 00:06:48,641
laying that boy Khalil down
for robbing me.
133
00:06:48,665 --> 00:06:50,783
He got me for a mil.
134
00:06:52,802 --> 00:06:54,313
But, man, if I wouldn't have
picked up that gun
135
00:06:54,337 --> 00:06:56,282
and pulled that trigger,
136
00:06:56,306 --> 00:06:57,984
I could have got that back!
137
00:06:58,008 --> 00:07:00,893
Lucious, I could have
got that back 100 times.
138
00:07:02,178 --> 00:07:04,724
That's on me.
139
00:07:04,748 --> 00:07:07,693
Look here, man.
140
00:07:07,717 --> 00:07:10,096
I want you to come by the studio.
141
00:07:10,120 --> 00:07:11,731
And you and me, we gonna chop it up
142
00:07:11,755 --> 00:07:13,099
in front of them boards
the way we should have done
143
00:07:13,123 --> 00:07:14,433
a long time ago.
144
00:07:14,457 --> 00:07:17,069
- For real?
- Real talk.
145
00:07:18,828 --> 00:07:20,072
Thank you, man.
146
00:07:20,096 --> 00:07:21,240
You're welcome.
147
00:07:26,870 --> 00:07:28,848
Tiana's departure hurts,
148
00:07:28,872 --> 00:07:31,117
but it also affords us
new opportunities.
149
00:07:31,141 --> 00:07:32,785
We need to fast track
Treasure's album.
150
00:07:32,809 --> 00:07:34,553
She's poised to be an
even bigger star than Tiana.
151
00:07:34,577 --> 00:07:36,489
Wait, Treasure ain't no way
near ready.
152
00:07:36,513 --> 00:07:38,024
We still have a few tracks to record.
153
00:07:38,048 --> 00:07:39,225
Let's get her in the studio
today and knock it out.
154
00:07:39,249 --> 00:07:40,927
Wait, hold on.
155
00:07:40,951 --> 00:07:43,262
Forgive me for interrupting, son,
156
00:07:43,286 --> 00:07:47,739
but why have we moved up
Treasure's release date?
157
00:07:49,125 --> 00:07:52,071
Jamal's in London,
and Hakeem is filming.
158
00:07:52,095 --> 00:07:53,773
But to the audience,
159
00:07:53,797 --> 00:07:55,308
that's gonna look like we replaced
160
00:07:55,332 --> 00:07:57,276
our most beloved female artist
161
00:07:57,300 --> 00:07:59,145
with just another female artist.
162
00:07:59,169 --> 00:08:00,479
Looking at the marketplace
163
00:08:00,503 --> 00:08:02,448
and our competitor's
release schedule, Pop,
164
00:08:02,472 --> 00:08:04,283
well, this is the best move.
165
00:08:04,307 --> 00:08:05,484
No, no, no, no.
166
00:08:05,508 --> 00:08:07,486
We never go chasing after competitors.
167
00:08:07,510 --> 00:08:09,655
We lead the pack.
168
00:08:09,679 --> 00:08:12,558
What we need to do is
go with Devon, something new.
169
00:08:12,582 --> 00:08:15,601
Um, everybody take ten, please.
170
00:08:23,460 --> 00:08:26,238
Empire is breaking records worldwide
171
00:08:26,262 --> 00:08:27,606
and on my watch, okay?
172
00:08:27,630 --> 00:08:29,141
So, you can trust me.
173
00:08:29,165 --> 00:08:31,944
No, no, I know, and I'm so proud
174
00:08:31,968 --> 00:08:34,447
of how you've led this
company while I was gone.
175
00:08:34,471 --> 00:08:36,115
I appreciate that Pop, okay?
176
00:08:36,139 --> 00:08:38,484
But Treasure has a massive following.
177
00:08:38,508 --> 00:08:39,852
There's no controversy
surrounding her.
178
00:08:39,876 --> 00:08:41,354
Her metrics mirror Tiana's.
179
00:08:41,378 --> 00:08:42,521

00:15:45,944 --> 00:15:48,956
Absolutely.
361
00:15:48,980 --> 00:15:50,891
Youngblood could use
a little old school,
362
00:15:50,915 --> 00:15:52,226
don't you think?
363
00:15:52,250 --> 00:15:53,494
Yeah.
364
00:15:53,518 --> 00:15:56,463
And if it works out,
365
00:15:56,487 --> 00:15:59,099
I always could use another
hit-maker on the squad.

Now, I'm sure you guys can all agree
379
00:16:23,915 --> 00:16:25,626
we've just witnessed
another Empire classic
380
00:16:25,650 --> 00:16:26,794
in the making.
381
00:16:26,818 --> 00:16:28,128
So let's get this...
382
00:16:28,152 --> 00:16:29,463
Just dump it right there
on the table, fellas,
383
00:16:29,487 --> 00:16:30,798
right in the middle.
384
00:16:30,822 --> 00:16:33,467
- Hello, everybody!
- Wait, what are you doing?
385
00:16:33,491 --> 00:16:34,969
Christmas has come early.
386
00:16:34,993 --> 00:16:37,304
You get a Gucci. You got Prada, girl!
387
00:16:37,328 --> 00:16:39,039
Take your pick. There's Gucci.
388
00:16:39,063 --> 00:16:41,041
Oh, baby, that'll look good
on you, honey.
389
00:16:41,065 --> 00:16:43,377
- Go ahead, make yourself...
- Everybody, out, out.
390
00:16:43,401 --> 00:16:44,878
- Everybody, out right now.
- Okay, everybody, out.
391
00:16:44,902 --> 00:16:46,013
Out!
392
00:16:46,037 --> 00:16:47,548
"Everybody out."
393
00:16:47,572 --> 00:16:48,882
Why didn't you take them Gucci shoes?
394
00:16:48,906 --> 00:16:50,551
They match your jacket.
395
00:16:50,575 --> 00:16:52,586
Have you lost your damn mind?
396
00:16:52,610 --> 00:16:54,755
I might have.
397
00:16:54,779 --> 00:16:56,624
You don't want my stuff
in the house, Lucious,
398
00:16:56,648 --> 00:16:59,426
so I figured your stuff
is better off here
399
00:16:59,450 --> 00:17:00,961
in your Empire.
400
00:17:00,985 --> 00:17:02,463
Let me tell you something, Lucious.
401
00:17:02,487 --> 00:17:04,765
You don't wanna feel like
a stranger in our house.
402
00:17:04,789 --> 00:17:07,134
That's fine, but I will be damned
403
00:17:07,158 --> 00:17:10,137
if I'm made to feel like
I don't belong there.
404
00:17:12,196 --> 00:17:14,341
Now, pick up your peg leg
and match your suit,
405
00:17:14,365 --> 00:17:16,243
you damn pirate.
406
00:17:37,461 --> 00:17:39,439
What gives?
407
00:17:39,463 --> 00:17:40,807
Apparently, you do.
408
00:17:40,831 --> 00:17:43,476
A lot, according to Hey Girl Hey.
409
00:17:47,337 --> 00:17:49,683
"Devon 'swangs' that 'thang'"?
410
00:17:51,375 --> 00:17:52,819
I don't even get down like that.
411
00:17:52,843 --> 00:17:54,821
You rocking and knocking
somebody boots up in here.
412
00:17:54,845 --> 00:17:57,357
And it's not your girl Tiana, so...
413
00:17:57,381 --> 00:18:00,260
Wait, hold up.
414
00:18:00,284 --> 00:18:02,729
That's not... that's not even me.
415
00:18:02,753 --> 00:18:03,730
Okay.
416
00:18:03,754 --> 00:18:05,899
I'm not mad if it is. Are you, sis?
417
00:18:05,923 --> 00:18:07,100
No, not at all.
418
00:18:07,124 --> 00:18:10,776
I mean, Tiana might be, but I'm good.
419
00:18:13,764 --> 00:18:15,442
I don't get how a video
of me goes viral,
420
00:18:15,466 --> 00:18:17,444
and it's not even me.
421
00:18:17,468 --> 00:18:19,145
Listen, you just gotta understand
422
00:18:19,169 --> 00:18:22,515
that nobody in this room
is above a little controversy.
423
00:18:22,539 --> 00:18:24,184
I swear on my life.
424
00:18:24,208 --> 00:18:25,985
I don't need to pimp my
junk to sell records.
425
00:18:26,009 --> 00:18:27,520
My music speaks for itself.
426
00:18:27,544 --> 00:18:28,788
One would hope.
427
00:18:28,812 --> 00:18:30,323
I've got the head of tech
428
00:18:30,347 --> 00:18:33,359
working overtime trying to figure out
429
00:18:33,383 --> 00:18:35,361
who's behind this whole
thing, and I bet you
430
00:18:35,385 --> 00:18:37,931
it's some little kid up in Russia
431
00:18:37,955 --> 00:18:39,933
doing the whole damn thing.
432
00:18:39,957 --> 00:18:42,268
But Publicity has put out a statement.
433
00:18:42,292 --> 00:18:44,471
All you need to do is just keep
working on your music,
434
00:18:44,495 --> 00:18:46,139
and this whole thing
is gonna blow over.
435
00:18:46,163 --> 00:18:48,141
- I promise you.
- Of course.
436
00:18:48,165 --> 00:18:50,143
- Just fix it.
- I will.
437
00:18:50,167 --> 00:18:53,686
You'll be all right, man.
I been through worse.
438
00:18:57,908 --> 00:19:00,186
So, the Russians are not only trying
439
00:19:00,210 --> 00:19:03,189
to undermine our democracy;
they're trying to derail Devon?
440
00:19:03,213 --> 00:19:07,560
Well, if the goal was to derail Devon,
441
00:19:07,584 --> 00:19:09,262
they have failed miserably,
442
00:19:09,286 --> 00:19:12,232
because he's about to become
a household name
443
00:19:12,256 --> 00:19:14,768
and his single...
444
00:19:14,792 --> 00:19:18,438
it's already breaking
the Top 10 as we speak.
445
00:19:18,462 --> 00:19:20,507
How's your Treasure doing?
446
00:19:25,002 --> 00:19:26,646
Hmm.
447
00:19:26,670 --> 00:19:29,816
"Visuge" steaming, Cookie, really?
448
00:19:29,840 --> 00:19:30,717
All right, sis, we really could have
449
00:19:30,741 --> 00:19:32,485
rescheduled the fundraiser meeting.
450
00:19:32,509 --> 00:19:34,220
Okay, look, both of y'all.
451
00:19:34,244 --> 00:19:36,523
I said that I have research
for hot topics, okay,
452
00:19:36,547 --> 00:19:38,324
while we finalize
the fundraising details,
453
00:19:38,348 --> 00:19:39,500
all right?
454
00:19:39,501 --> 00:19:40,845
Don't burn out on me now.
455
00:19:40,869 --> 00:19:42,046
No, it's kind of hard to do that
456
00:19:42,070 --> 00:19:43,848
when you feel like you got
fire up your coo...
457
00:19:43,872 --> 00:19:45,182
Ooh.
458
00:19:45,206 --> 00:19:47,084
Ooh.
459
00:19:47,108 --> 00:19:50,254
I mean, sis, she getting
real ready down there.
460
00:19:50,278 --> 00:19:51,555
You sure you're not prepping
461
00:19:51,579 --> 00:19:52,823
for a little Tea Talk with Lucious?
462
00:19:52,847 --> 00:19:54,959
- Ooh.
- Child, please.
463
00:19:54,983 --> 00:19:57,128
Me and that man haven't
two-stepped to the same beat
464
00:19:57,152 --> 00:19:59,096
in... in a minute
465
00:19:59,120 --> 00:20:01,265
Anyway, he won't forgive me, so...
466
00:20:01,289 --> 00:20:03,285
Shouldn't he be seeking forgiveness
467
00:20:03,286 --> 00:20:04,930
for what he put you through?
468
00:20:04,954 --> 00:20:06,098
Hmm?
469
00:20:06,122 --> 00:20:08,400
Yeah, well, my therapist said...
470
00:20:08,424 --> 00:20:09,435
Excuse you.
471
00:20:09,459 --> 00:20:11,136
Therapist?
472
00:20:11,160 --> 00:20:13,772
Yes, I'm seeing a therapist, bitches.
473
00:20:13,796 --> 00:20:16,475
But, sis, you dumped Lucious'
clothes all over Empire.
474
00:20:16,499 --> 00:20:18,444
I'm not too sure
the therapy is working.
475
00:20:18,468 --> 00:20:21,480
It is called setting
healthy boundaries, okay?
476
00:20:21,504 --> 00:20:23,849
I'm not so sure that's what
your therapist meant.
477
00:20:23,873 --> 00:20:25,217
You need to take time for yourself.
478
00:20:25,241 --> 00:20:26,885
Stop working so hard,
479
00:20:26,909 --> 00:20:29,188
and get out of that vicious
cycle with Lucious.
480
00:20:29,212 --> 00:20:30,256
Hmm.
481
00:20:30,280 --> 00:20:32,691
Sis, the cycle is called marriage,
482
00:20:32,715 --> 00:20:35,094
and it wouldn't be so vicious
if she would just admit
483
00:20:35,118 --> 00:20:36,895
she wants Lucious back.
484
00:20:36,919 --> 00:20:38,764
You know the man loves
her dirty drawers
485
00:20:38,788 --> 00:20:40,432
no matter how much he acts out.
486
00:20:40,456 --> 00:20:41,907
But it's not healthy.
487
00:20:41,924 --> 00:20:43,902
All of this back-and-forth,
488
00:20:43,926 --> 00:20:46,305
it's like their twisted version
of foreplay.
489
00:20:46,329 --> 00:20:48,140
Why are y'all two sitting up here,
490
00:20:48,164 --> 00:20:50,476
talking about me
like I'm not in the room?
491
00:20:50,500 --> 00:20:51,810
Well.
492
00:20:51,834 --> 00:20:54,179
All I got to say, sis,
is you need to kick back
493
00:20:54,203 --> 00:20:55,681
and enjoy the steam,
494
00:20:55,705 --> 00:20:58,183
because that girl is about to
go on a bumpy-ass ride.
495
00:20:58,207 --> 00:20:59,952
Mm.
496
00:20:59,976 --> 00:21:01,987
You still a slut.
497
00:21:03,379 --> 00:21:04,890
Ain't this a bitch.
498
00:21:04,914 --> 00:21:06,824
There ain't nothing sweet
in this damn house.
499
00:21:10,553 --> 00:21:13,198
Walker's breast milk is
probably not the answer
500
00:21:13,222 --> 00:21:15,006
you're looking for.
501
00:21:17,527 --> 00:21:21,106
Um... you might try being
502
00:21:21,130 --> 00:21:23,075
a little sweeter to Cookie.
503
00:21:23,099 --> 00:21:24,576
I promise you, darling,
504
00:21:24,600 --> 00:21:29,020
this is not a fight that
you wanna pick sides with.
505
00:21:30,273 --> 00:21:33,024
Please, that's the last thing
I wanna do.
506
00:21:36,646 --> 00:21:39,525
Now, she'd never admit this to you,
507
00:21:39,549 --> 00:21:41,694
but she missed you, everybody did,
508
00:21:41,718 --> 00:21:43,335
especially Andre.
509
00:21:44,420 --> 00:21:47,599
And then you came back like a tornado.
510
00:21:47,623 --> 00:21:51,437
I... I wasn't expecting that.
511
00:21:51,461 --> 00:21:53,778
Welcome to the Lyon pride.
512
00:21:55,164 --> 00:21:59,985
You know, Quincy's father was
a lot like you.
513
00:22:00,937 --> 00:22:04,850
He was headstrong, yet sensitive.
514
00:22:04,874 --> 00:22:08,387
When he was hurt,
instead of talking to me,
515
00:22:08,411 --> 00:22:10,155
he lashed out.
516
00:22:10,179 --> 00:22:14,900
And he didn't mean to,
but he drove me away.
517
00:22:17,019 --> 00:22:21,066
Teri...
518
00:22:21,090 --> 00:22:24,269
I firmly believe that Andre
lucked out with you.
519
00:22:24,293 --> 00:22:26,405
Oh.
520
00:22:26,429 --> 00:22:30,109
But unlike Quincy's father,
521
00:22:30,133 --> 00:22:32,444
I'm one of a kind.
522
00:22:47,417 --> 00:22:50,396
Cookie, thoughts on the Yoni craze?
523
00:22:50,420 --> 00:22:52,898
Well, this hot girl
likes to keep it cool
524
00:22:52,922 --> 00:22:54,566
down under in the summer, honey.
525
00:22:54,590 --> 00:22:57,236
So all you girls out there
trying to sell
526
00:22:57,260 --> 00:23:01,106
this Yoni steam dream,
it was a nightmare, honey.
527
00:23:02,465 --> 00:23:03,761
Can we please say a prayer
528
00:23:03,762 --> 00:23:05,106
for the real hot girl
529
00:23:05,130 --> 00:23:06,641
who's not having
such a hot time right now:
530
00:23:06,665 --> 00:23:08,276
My new fav, Tiana?
531
00:23:08,300 --> 00:23:10,111
I mean, between the Left
terrorizing her
532
00:23:10,135 --> 00:23:12,413
and this R&B star
who is cheating on her
533
00:23:12,437 --> 00:23:14,315
in a video that I cannot
take my eyes off of...
534
00:23:14,339 --> 00:23:15,983
Oh.
535
00:23:16,007 --> 00:23:18,486
So, let me get this straight.
536
00:23:18,510 --> 00:23:20,188
So, you can do without black people,
537
00:23:20,212 --> 00:23:23,491
but it's okay for you to fantasize
538
00:23:23,515 --> 00:23:25,693
over the big, black...
539
00:23:25,717 --> 00:23:29,063
I hear that we have
a very special guest
540
00:23:29,087 --> 00:23:33,067
that's here to clear up
the Devon sex tape controversy.
541
00:23:33,091 --> 00:23:35,403
Oh, very special.
542
00:23:35,427 --> 00:23:38,873
Please welcome to Tea Talk
the founder of Empire,
543
00:23:38,897 --> 00:23:41,609
the legend himself, Lucious Lyon!
544
00:23:45,137 --> 00:23:46,447
Morning, ladies.
545
00:23:48,006 --> 00:23:49,951
I love you, Lucious!
546
00:23:49,975 --> 00:23:51,152
How y'all doing?
547
00:23:59,881 --> 00:24:02,038
Okay, let's get onto
our next hot chocolate... um,
548
00:24:02,039 --> 00:24:06,919
topic of the day,
and that is this sex tape.
549
00:24:06,920 --> 00:24:08,364
Is it a win for Devon?
550
00:24:08,388 --> 00:24:11,567
Um, what's a win for Devon
is this new single.
551
00:24:11,591 --> 00:24:13,402
It's an absolute win for his fans.
552
00:24:13,426 --> 00:24:16,572
Well, I think it's a shame
that that boy's talent is being
553
00:24:16,596 --> 00:24:18,574
overshadowed by his pistol.
554
00:24:20,133 --> 00:24:22,611
And it does cast quite a shadow.
555
00:24:25,438 --> 00:24:28,250
When he say it's not him,
I believe it's not him.
556
00:24:28,274 --> 00:24:30,519
Okay, well, then, that makes me wonder
557
00:24:30,543 --> 00:24:32,254
who faked the video.
558
00:24:32,278 --> 00:24:35,824
Devon, baby,
if you're out there watching,
559
00:24:35,848 --> 00:24:40,162
you may wanna reconsider
the record company you keep.
560
00:24:40,186 --> 00:24:42,998
Speaking of company, Lucious,
561
00:24:43,022 --> 00:24:45,701
how is losing Tiana affecting Empire?
562
00:24:45,725 --> 00:24:48,270
Artists do come and go from labels.
563
00:24:48,294 --> 00:24:50,706
Oh, oh, no, no, not superstars.
564
00:24:50,730 --> 00:24:54,276
See, Empire's loss is
definitely Bossy Media's gain.
565
00:24:54,300 --> 00:24:55,444
Oh!
566
00:24:55,468 --> 00:24:57,279
They are also a sponsor
567
00:24:57,303 --> 00:24:58,914
for the Cookie Lyon
Community Center Fundraiser
568
00:24:58,938 --> 00:24:59,949
I'm having this weekend.
569
00:24:59,973 --> 00:25:01,617
Yes!
570
00:25:01,641 --> 00:25:03,819
And I'm gonna stream live nationwide.
571
00:25:03,843 --> 00:25:05,988
And I still haven't
received my invitation yet.
572
00:25:06,012 --> 00:25:08,324
Yes, and I'm waiting
for your donation.
573
00:25:08,348 --> 00:25:10,159
But I bought the damn place,
and without me,
574
00:25:10,183 --> 00:25:11,994
you wouldn't even have the fundraiser.
575
00:25:12,018 --> 00:25:14,530
What you're not gonna do,
Lucious, is come up here
576
00:25:14,554 --> 00:25:17,333
and lay claim on my success,
right, ladies?
577
00:25:17,357 --> 00:25:18,667
Yes!
578
00:25:18,691 --> 00:25:19,868
You know how men like to do that?
579
00:25:19,892 --> 00:25:21,236
Lift up their leg like a little dog
580
00:25:21,260 --> 00:25:22,404
on a fire hydrant.
581
00:25:22,428 --> 00:25:24,106
That's the last thing
I'm trying to do.
582
00:25:24,130 --> 00:25:27,943
What I really wanna say
is that at that fundraiser,
583
00:25:27,967 --> 00:25:31,447
we're gonna have Devon
perform his single
584
00:25:31,471 --> 00:25:34,950
and 100% of the proceeds
will go directly
585
00:25:34,974 --> 00:25:37,152
to the Cookie Lyon Community Center.
586
00:25:41,647 --> 00:25:44,059
That's a man. That's a good man.
587
00:25:44,083 --> 00:25:46,401
Generous.
588
00:25:49,822 --> 00:25:53,528
It's just that Giselle
barely ever listens to me,
589
00:25:53,529 --> 00:25:55,406
and we disagree on everything.
590
00:25:55,430 --> 00:25:57,242
And who thinks that Tiana needs to be
591
00:25:57,266 --> 00:25:58,543
the face of anything right now?
592
00:25:58,567 --> 00:26:00,345
- For real.
- Okay, okay, all right, Becky.
593
00:26:00,369 --> 00:26:02,447
Did you not just see
what Lucious did to me
594
00:26:02,471 --> 00:26:04,249
on national television?
595
00:26:04,273 --> 00:26:05,884
Hmm?
596
00:26:05,908 --> 00:26:08,419
- Oh, my God, Cookie, I'm...
- Jeez.
597
00:26:08,443 --> 00:26:10,955
I'm so sorry.
598
00:26:10,979 --> 00:26:14,259
I came all this way.
Please focus on me.
599
00:26:14,283 --> 00:26:15,460
God.
600
00:26:17,686 --> 00:26:19,664
- Okay.
- Sometimes...
601
00:26:19,688 --> 00:26:21,132
All right, all right.
602
00:26:21,156 --> 00:26:23,201
So, you're freaking out,
'cause you're all in
603
00:26:23,225 --> 00:26:25,470
and this is all you got.
604
00:26:25,494 --> 00:26:28,706
Bossy is your dream, Becky.
605
00:26:28,730 --> 00:26:30,508
You can't give up without a fight.
606
00:26:30,532 --> 00:26:31,709
I'm just saying, like, am I wrong?
607
00:26:31,733 --> 00:26:33,545
Because we're a brand-new label, okay?
608
00:26:33,569 --> 00:26:37,015
We need to be launching
fresh, new talent.
609
00:26:37,039 --> 00:26:40,051
Maybe I'm just not cut out for this.
610
00:26:40,075 --> 00:26:42,453
If it's that easy for you to walk away
611
00:26:42,477 --> 00:26:46,624
from your investment,
your sacrifices...
612
00:26:46,648 --> 00:26:48,593
then maybe the dream was never yours
613
00:26:48,617 --> 00:26:50,167
in the first place, Becky.
614
00:26:51,987 --> 00:26:53,698
I really hate when you do this.
615
00:26:53,722 --> 00:26:55,166
What, tell the truth?
616
00:26:55,190 --> 00:26:57,875
Yes, exactly.
617
00:26:59,861 --> 00:27:02,040
I have the best idea.
618
00:27:02,064 --> 00:27:05,743
Let me help Tiana
on her road to recovery.
619
00:27:05,767 --> 00:27:08,746
Have her come and perform
at my fundraiser.
620
00:27:08,770 --> 00:27:11,583
Okay, but that sounds like
you think that I was wrong
621
00:27:11,607 --> 00:27:12,957
and that Giselle was right.
622
00:27:14,543 --> 00:27:16,087
Becky, do you wanna be right,
623
00:27:16,111 --> 00:27:19,063
or do you wanna be a boss bitch?
624
00:27:21,083 --> 00:27:24,235
What exactly is stopping me
from being a right boss bitch?
625
00:27:25,287 --> 00:27:26,531
Okay, I'ma leave that with you.
626
00:27:26,555 --> 00:27:29,006
I'm wrong?
627
00:27:33,428 --> 00:27:34,839
Well, well, well.
628
00:27:34,863 --> 00:27:36,874
Hello, Lucious.
629
00:27:36,898 --> 00:27:38,843
Your little reunion that you set up
630
00:27:38,867 --> 00:27:40,373
between me and Philly Street...
631
00:27:40,374 --> 00:27:41,651
Hmm?
632
00:27:41,675 --> 00:27:42,819
It really paid off.
633
00:27:42,843 --> 00:27:44,487
The brother's pen game is tight,
634
00:27:44,511 --> 00:27:47,524
and so he's a producer
here now at Empire.
635
00:27:47,548 --> 00:27:49,392
Really?
636
00:27:49,416 --> 00:27:52,262
What's wrong, Trace? You look stunned.
637
00:27:52,286 --> 00:27:53,730
Mm.
638
00:27:53,754 --> 00:27:55,765
You didn't cut Philly Street
from the script
639
00:27:55,789 --> 00:27:57,200
because of his pen game.
640
00:27:58,158 --> 00:28:00,570
Something in this piss ain't pure.
641
00:28:00,594 --> 00:28:03,446
You would know.
Yours never was, was it?
642
00:28:04,631 --> 00:28:06,609
And by the way, if you're wondering,
643
00:28:06,633 --> 00:28:08,645
you're still not in the film.
644
00:28:11,171 --> 00:28:14,117
I'm the mother of
your first-born child, Lucious.
645
00:28:14,141 --> 00:28:17,887
You can rewrite a script,
but you can't rewrite history.
646
00:28:17,911 --> 00:28:20,223
Well, we all know that.
647
00:28:20,247 --> 00:28:24,227
The winner always writes history,
648
00:28:24,251 --> 00:28:27,003
and we agree that's me.
649
00:28:40,367 --> 00:28:42,612

Oh, wow. Tracy's here.
669
00:29:16,670 --> 00:29:18,014
Uh, uh, uh.
670
00:29:18,038 --> 00:29:19,682
- Keep it classy.
- Right.
671
00:29:19,706 --> 00:29:22,051
Tonight's about second chances.
672
00:29:22,075 --> 00:29:24,854
I thought NA meetings
were on Wednesdays.
673
00:29:24,878 --> 00:29:27,557
Really, Cookie? You owe me.
674
00:29:27,581 --> 00:29:30,026
Take some singles, ladies.
675
00:29:30,050 --> 00:29:32,362
Let me talk to my friend Tracy here.
676
00:29:34,421 --> 00:29:36,366
How long you gonna
hold that over me, huh?
677
00:29:36,390 --> 00:29:38,034
Besides, that debt's been paid,
678
00:29:38,058 --> 00:29:39,903
or aren't you enjoying
running around Empire
679
00:29:39,927 --> 00:29:41,137
like you belong?
680
00:29:41,161 --> 00:29:43,940
Oh, honey, can't we just get along?
681
00:29:43,964 --> 00:29:45,108
I mean, we have so much in common.
682
00:29:45,132 --> 00:29:46,976
Just look at our past.
683
00:29:47,000 --> 00:29:49,179
Oh, no, see, my past holds a husband
684
00:29:49,203 --> 00:29:50,980
and multimillion-dollar music company.
685
00:29:51,004 --> 00:29:53,149
Your past holds a crack pipe...
686
00:29:53,173 --> 00:29:55,518
Uh, Tracy, it's so good
to see you again, honey.
687
00:29:55,542 --> 00:29:57,854
- You look gorgeous, gorgeous.
- Thank you.
688
00:29:57,878 --> 00:29:59,856
You know she just dropped
25,000 on a table, right?
689
00:29:59,880 --> 00:30:03,927
Oh, well, excuse me. I'm sorry.
690
00:30:03,951 --> 00:30:05,895
- She's at table three, correct?
- Mm-hmm.
691
00:30:05,919 --> 00:30:07,697
Carol will show you to your table.
692
00:30:07,721 --> 00:30:09,566
- My apologies.
- Mm-hmm.
693
00:30:09,590 --> 00:30:12,302
Oh, and Snow White,
694
00:30:12,326 --> 00:30:13,937
don't get it twisted.
695
00:30:13,961 --> 00:30:15,805
You're not a major player here, okay?
696
00:30:15,829 --> 00:30:17,807
You're just an addict
with money to blow.
697
00:30:17,831 --> 00:30:19,943
But we appreciate your generosity.
698
00:30:19,967 --> 00:30:21,344
You look fabulous.

700
00:30:23,503 --> 00:30:24,614

707

Hmm.
708
00:30:40,754 --> 00:30:42,732
The more charm you throw,
709
00:30:42,756 --> 00:30:44,234
the more snake I know you are.
710
00:30:44,258 --> 00:30:46,736
- What are you up to, Lucious?
- What's wrong?
711
00:30:46,760 --> 00:30:49,772
Can't I show some appreciation
to my beautiful wife
712
00:30:49,796 --> 00:30:51,441
and all the wonderful things
you've accomplished?
713
00:30:51,465 --> 00:30:53,476

Lucious, get an interview?
715
00:30:54,468 --> 00:30:56,018
No, thank you.
716
00:30:58,372 --> 00:31:00,183
Don't ruin tonight
with your petty games.
717
00:31:00,207 --> 00:31:02,719
Please, Lucious.
This is very important to me.
718
00:31:02,743 --> 00:31:05,855
I promise you,
tonight is all about you.
719
00:31:05,879 --> 00:31:08,691
Hmm.
720
00:31:08,715 --> 00:31:11,267
Ladies and gentlemen, Lucious.
721
00:31:22,518 --> 00:31:24,784
- You're walking too fast.
- Girl, I'm...
722
00:31:24,785 --> 00:31:26,697
Becky, what...
723
00:31:26,721 --> 00:31:30,838
Listen, I wanna apologize
724
00:31:30,839 --> 00:31:35,353
for letting my beliefs
get in between our business.
725
00:31:35,377 --> 00:31:37,455
I really don't wanna
fight with you no more.
726
00:31:37,479 --> 00:31:38,856
Well,
727
00:31:38,880 --> 00:31:39,824
me neither.
728
00:31:39,848 --> 00:31:41,292
Are we good?
729
00:31:41,316 --> 00:31:43,160
- Okay.
- Good.
730
00:31:43,184 --> 00:31:44,362
- Hey.
- Yeah, we're good.
731
00:31:44,386 --> 00:31:47,031
Ooh, Cookie, listen.
732
00:31:47,055 --> 00:31:49,233
Thank you for the lifeline
for the Tiana performance.
733
00:31:49,257 --> 00:31:50,668
Yeah, I'm sorry.
I'm gonna have to pull her.
734
00:31:50,692 --> 00:31:52,103
What?
735
00:31:52,127 --> 00:31:55,039
Yeah, the people over there
in these T-shirts
736
00:31:55,063 --> 00:31:58,248
will act a fool and protest
if Tiana gets on that stage.
737
00:31:59,401 --> 00:32:00,811
Now, I can't have them
ruining my fundraiser.
738
00:32:00,835 --> 00:32:02,413
It's too important.
739
00:32:02,437 --> 00:32:03,414
Yeah, but we can't afford
740
00:32:03,438 --> 00:32:04,815
to have Tiana cancelled again.
741
00:32:04,839 --> 00:32:06,317
I am doing you a favor.
742
00:32:06,341 --> 00:32:07,485
We are live-streaming this event.
743
00:32:07,509 --> 00:32:08,853
If that girl gets up on that stage,
744
00:32:08,877 --> 00:32:10,955
the internet is gonna crush her,
745
00:32:10,979 --> 00:32:11,822
and my center will suffer.
746
00:32:11,846 --> 00:32:14,492
I'm sorry.
747
00:32:14,516 --> 00:32:16,694
This has damn Lucious
written all over it.
748
00:32:32,400 --> 00:32:34,812
Whoo! Welcome, everybody!
749
00:32:38,139 --> 00:32:39,250
Cookie!
750
00:32:39,274 --> 00:32:40,585
Whoo!
751
00:32:40,609 --> 00:32:42,520
Do we have an incredible
performance for you tonight.
752
00:32:42,544 --> 00:32:45,990
Uh, no, ladies, it's not Devon.
753
00:32:46,014 --> 00:32:50,361

Let's give it up for Treasure.
784
00:34:28,316 --> 00:34:29,727
Whoo.
785
00:34:29,751 --> 00:34:32,196
Because of your belief
in second chances,
786
00:34:32,220 --> 00:34:34,532
this center will be able to give women
787
00:34:34,556 --> 00:34:37,334
and girls at risk a second opportunity
788
00:34:37,358 --> 00:34:41,405
in a world that so
often dismisses them.
789
00:34:42,964 --> 00:34:44,114
Mm-hmm.
790
00:34:46,134 --> 00:34:48,612
Truth is, I benefitted
from a second chance.
791
00:34:51,673 --> 00:34:53,484
So I know how valuable they are.
792
00:34:57,846 --> 00:34:58,989
Where's your father?
793
00:34:59,013 --> 00:35:00,458
He's not coming to see you today.
794
00:35:00,482 --> 00:35:02,660
Bam.
795
00:35:02,684 --> 00:35:04,528
You are not a part of my company.
796
00:35:04,552 --> 00:35:05,863
You're not wanted here.
797
00:35:05,887 --> 00:35:07,231
You're a ghetto rat.
798
00:35:07,255 --> 00:35:09,500
- You'll always be a ghetto rat.
- A ghetto rat?
799
00:35:09,524 --> 00:35:10,401
Don't you touch me.
800
00:35:10,425 --> 00:35:11,769
Empire was mine!
801
00:35:11,793 --> 00:35:14,438
You built this company on my back.
802
00:35:14,462 --> 00:35:16,073
Oh, you a...
803
00:35:17,398 --> 00:35:18,409
I can't take it anymore.
804
00:35:24,272 --> 00:35:26,884
I sold drugs for a man I loved.
805
00:35:30,879 --> 00:35:34,564
And it was my $400,000 in drug money
806
00:35:34,582 --> 00:35:36,660
that started Empire...
807
00:35:39,053 --> 00:35:40,965
Tell it, girl.
808
00:35:40,989 --> 00:35:43,567
And landed me 17 years in prison.
809
00:35:43,591 --> 00:35:46,009
- Ooh!
- Oop.
810
00:35:46,895 --> 00:35:49,240
The truth hurts.
811
00:35:49,264 --> 00:35:53,077
Ladies, please,
don't ever follow a man
812
00:35:53,101 --> 00:35:55,079
into a life of bad choices
813
00:35:55,103 --> 00:35:58,315
and sacrifices.
814
00:36:00,775 --> 00:36:01,986
Thank you.
815
00:36:03,645 --> 00:36:05,495
That's right, Cookie!
816
00:36:36,735 --> 00:36:38,470
I really hope you enjoyed
817
00:36:38,471 --> 00:36:41,350
making a mockery of me tonight.
818
00:36:41,351 --> 00:36:45,719
You signed an NDA, remember?
819
00:36:45,720 --> 00:36:50,059
So, sue me.
820
00:36:51,738 --> 00:36:54,717
Did you even consider
821
00:36:54,741 --> 00:36:57,453
what your little "truth"
would do to my legacy?
822
00:36:57,477 --> 00:36:59,989
Our legacy is something
823
00:37:00,013 --> 00:37:02,658
I won't let you deny anymore.
824
00:37:02,682 --> 00:37:05,428
This is our house, Lucious,
825
00:37:05,452 --> 00:37:09,665
our Empire, our legacy!
826
00:37:09,689 --> 00:37:11,300
You want truth?
827
00:37:11,324 --> 00:37:13,336
Well, I got some truth for your ass.
828
00:37:13,360 --> 00:37:17,039
You violated a $4 million NDA,
829
00:37:17,063 --> 00:37:19,709
and I'm gonna sue you for
every damn penny you got.
830
00:37:19,733 --> 00:37:21,677
Come see me, Lucious.
831
00:37:21,701 --> 00:37:25,054
I sweat that much
on my day off, bitch.
832
00:37:38,852 --> 00:37:42,031
You knew how important
833
00:37:42,055 --> 00:37:44,967
this fundraiser was for me,
834
00:37:44,991 --> 00:37:48,771
and you still couldn't put
Petty D away
835
00:37:48,795 --> 00:37:52,181
for the night.
836
00:37:59,306 --> 00:38:00,883
You resent me...
837
00:38:02,309 --> 00:38:05,621
Because I did this all my myself,
838
00:38:05,645 --> 00:38:06,795
and you didn't.
839
00:38:08,014 --> 00:38:10,459
There it is:
840
00:38:10,483 --> 00:38:13,930
That little myth
you take so much pride in.
841
00:38:13,954 --> 00:38:16,666
What myth?
842
00:38:16,690 --> 00:38:20,570
That 17-year myth, that $400,000 myth
843
00:38:20,594 --> 00:38:22,939
that you throw in my face
every time you get
844
00:38:22,963 --> 00:38:24,707
on your little high horse.
845
00:38:24,731 --> 00:38:27,877
That 400,000 was gone within months
846
00:38:27,901 --> 00:38:29,752
after they locked your ass up.
847
00:38:30,737 --> 00:38:32,114
You're lying.
848
00:38:32,138 --> 00:38:33,616
I had to pay producers.
849
00:38:33,640 --> 00:38:35,785
I had to buy studio time.
850
00:38:35,809 --> 00:38:37,653
I didn't know what I was doing,
so I got raked
851
00:38:37,677 --> 00:38:42,124
by every damn vendor
that printed or packaged my CD.
852
00:38:42,148 --> 00:38:44,327
You weren't there to help.
853
00:38:44,351 --> 00:38:47,136
So within a matter of months,
I was broke.
854
00:38:48,688 --> 00:38:50,533
That is until Bunkie told me
855
00:38:50,557 --> 00:38:55,004
about how Philly Street...
856
00:38:55,028 --> 00:38:58,007
robbed banks in order to
fund his career.
857
00:38:58,031 --> 00:39:02,612
It was a genius idea;
shouldn't have told me that.

00:39:26,593 --> 00:39:28,371
I don't know
what you're talking about.
869
00:39:30,063 --> 00:39:31,274
Now you know what I'm talking about?
870
00:39:31,298 --> 00:39:32,575
It's in the closet.
871
00:39:32,599 --> 00:39:33,743
Get your ass up and show me.
872
00:39:40,407 --> 00:39:42,157
I'm just... I'm going for the money.
873
00:39:50,317 --> 00:39:51,761
Soon as I find out
who under that mask,
874
00:39:51,785 --> 00:39:52,795
you getting rocked.
875
00:39:52,819 --> 00:39:53,963
You sure about that?
876
00:40:03,430 --> 00:40:04,774
Stay down! Stay!
877
00:40:04,798 --> 00:40:06,108
Huh? Huh?
878
00:40:06,132 --> 00:40:08,077
No!
879
00:40:30,256 --> 00:40:34,403
Philly Street did 20 years
880
00:40:34,427 --> 00:40:39,214
for murdering the man
that he thought robbed him.
881
00:40:40,900 --> 00:40:43,079
Khalil.
882
00:40:43,103 --> 00:40:46,315
Yep.
883
00:40:46,339 --> 00:40:50,720
So it was the $1 million
that I stole from Philly Street
884
00:40:50,744 --> 00:40:54,490
that funded my first album.
885
00:40:54,514 --> 00:40:57,660
I built this, not you.
886
00:40:57,684 --> 00:41:01,330
So your 17 years
is nothing but a fantasy.
887
00:41:01,354 --> 00:41:05,735
And the 400,000 you put in...
888
00:41:05,759 --> 00:41:08,371
that meant less to Empire
889
00:41:08,395 --> 00:41:12,114
than you do to me now.
890
00:41:19,305 --> 00:41:23,786
So, you expect me
891
00:41:23,810 --> 00:41:28,124
to sit here and believe Petty-ass D
892
00:41:28,148 --> 00:41:30,799
held on to this all these years?
893
00:41:37,724 --> 00:41:40,069
You're lying.
894
00:41:51,438 --> 00:41:53,616
I don't believe you.
895
00:41:53,640 --> 00:41:57,553
The truth hurts, don't it?
896
00:41:59,879 --> 00:42:01,991
What you think you about to do, huh?
897
00:42:09,055 --> 00:42:12,334
It really challenges your manhood
898
00:42:12,358 --> 00:42:15,905
that I'm 100% that bitch
behind your legacy.
899
00:42:17,931 --> 00:42:21,410
Instead, you'd rather fool yourself
900
00:42:21,434 --> 00:42:25,815
with that BS story...
901
00:42:25,839 --> 00:42:29,585
than face that...
902
00:42:29,609 --> 00:42:31,593
the truth.
903
00:42:46,526 --> 00:42:48,037
Klimt.
904
00:42:50,430 --> 00:42:53,609
It's still ugly.
905
00:43:13,360 --> 00:43:19,510
