But really, I mean,
there's nobody here
180
00:06:51,172 --> 00:06:52,572
that's worried it might be too much?

187
00:07:00,548 --> 00:07:01,815
The focus here is about the music.

00:07:01,816 --> 00:07:03,784
Okay? Not about us.
189
00:07:03,785 --> 00:07:07,087
And also remember that precisely
why "Emotions" did well
190
00:07:07,088 --> 00:07:08,622
is because no one knew that it was us.
191
00:07:08,623 --> 00:07:12,292
This has nothing to do
with who any of us are.
192
00:07:12,293 --> 00:07:14,761
And I'm sick
of having these conversations
193

about "too big" or whatever.

Well, met him at a fundraiser,
217
00:08:16,657 --> 00:08:18,225
and he's always been a fan
of my music,

especially through college.
219
00:08:19,694 --> 00:08:22,262

without any strings attached?

You know why?

Because he knows
that if he fronts you the money,
238

then he has to go up
against Kelly Patel,
239

We got a problem. Turn on the news.

Let's take a look. This morning...
264
00:10:27,594 --> 00:10:29,328
Why are our shares going up?
265
00:10:30,530 --> 00:10:33,366
Because Kelly Patel
is buying them at a premium.
266
00:10:33,367 --> 00:10:35,534
We can't just keep raising money
and let them buy the company
267
00:10:35,535 --> 00:10:36,736
out from under us anyway.
268
00:10:36,737 --> 00:10:38,404
I mean, isn't there some way
we can find out
269
00:10:38,405 --> 00:10:39,939
what his top dollar is?
270
00:10:39,940 --> 00:10:43,075
I can get the number.
271
00:10:43,076 --> 00:10:45,678
Look, Eddie thinks that I agree
with his strategy for Empire.
272
00:10:45,679 --> 00:10:47,947
I can make him think
I bailed on you two.
273
00:10:47,948 --> 00:10:49,849
Eddie's not that stupid.
274
00:10:49,850 --> 00:10:51,217
Yeah. Yeah, how in the hell
275
00:10:51,218 --> 00:10:54,186
would you make
something like that work?
276
00:10:54,187 --> 00:10:55,855
Well, Eddie thinks Th-there's friction
277
00:10:55,856 --> 00:10:57,256
between Andre
and the rest of the family.
278
00:10:57,257 --> 00:11:00,292
I mean, he even asked me
about it. It might work.
279
00:11:00,293 --> 00:11:02,995
I know exactly what to say to him.
280
00:11:06,633 --> 00:11:08,434
ANDRE:
My father turned his back on me,
281
00:11:08,435 --> 00:11:11,404
and there's nothing I can do
to get his respect.
282
00:11:11,405 --> 00:11:13,773
That is why I'm here,
that's the only reason I'm here.
283
00:11:13,774 --> 00:11:15,675
How much more of this
do we have to listen to?
284
00:11:15,676 --> 00:11:17,043
Why the change of heart?
285
00:11:17,044 --> 00:11:18,811
You didn't back my play
with your parents.
286
00:11:18,812 --> 00:11:21,013
Lucious wants to take
the company backwards.
287
00:11:21,014 --> 00:11:23,649
I don't. We don't belong in the back.
288
00:11:23,650 --> 00:11:25,284
If I have to come here and...
289
00:11:25,285 --> 00:11:28,554
and I have to do this with you,
then I'm... I'm willing.
290
00:11:28,555 --> 00:11:31,524
If it makes things right
over there, I'm-I'm willing.

Anika, you know as well as anyone
295
00:11:37,998 --> 00:11:40,599
that Lucious can't stand to be
in the same room as me.
296
00:11:40,600 --> 00:11:42,068
You also know as well as anyone
297
00:11:42,069 --> 00:11:44,737
that Empire could be so much bigger
298
00:11:44,738 --> 00:11:46,272
if not for his limitations.
299
00:11:46,273 --> 00:11:49,008

is not enough in 2018.
300

- Okay.

by your side, Uncle.

to set up a press conference
314

320
00:12:45,699 --> 00:12:48,801
that Eddie Barker,
a longtime friend of our family,
321
00:12:48,802 --> 00:12:50,536
and a good friend,
322
00:12:50,537 --> 00:12:54,039
will lead Empire
into this bright new era.
323
00:12:54,040 --> 00:12:55,574
Now, my parents did a great thing
324
00:12:55,575 --> 00:12:58,077
giving birth to this company,
but, uh...
325
00:12:58,078 --> 00:12:59,578
but they're artists,
not business people,
326
00:12:59,579 --> 00:13:01,580
and it's time that Empire went global.
327
00:13:01,581 --> 00:13:05,451
With Kelly Patel's
acquisition, it will.

00:13:52,025 --> 00:13:55,161
- but you made the right one, Andre.
- Damn straight.
349
00:13:55,162 --> 00:13:57,697
That's one of the hardest things
I've ever had to do, but...
350
00:13:57,698 --> 00:13:59,632
- it feels right.
- I am genuinely excited
351
00:13:59,633 --> 00:14:01,234
about this content play.
352
00:14:01,235 --> 00:14:03,169
EDDIE: We'll keep
luring them in with music,
353
00:14:03,170 --> 00:14:05,371
and you'll take the user data
and monetize it
354
00:14:05,372 --> 00:14:07,707
- every which way to Sunday.
- (ANIKA CHUCKLES)
355
00:14:07,708 --> 00:14:10,076
Why are we cooped up in here?
Let's go out.
356
00:14:10,077 --> 00:14:11,911
- Let's celebrate.
- All right!
357
00:14:11,912 --> 00:14:14,180
- All right.
- Sounds like a plan to me.
358
00:14:14,181 --> 00:14:16,949
- So, where do you want to go?
- You tell me.
359
00:14:16,950 --> 00:14:18,351
- I chose last time.
- Okay.
360
00:14:18,352 --> 00:14:21,053
- You choose this time. And you're paying.
- Okay.
361
00:14:21,054 --> 00:14:24,991
- Oh. Forgot my jacket. I'll catch up.
- All right.
362
00:14:29,530 --> 00:14:32,098
(CAMERA CLICKING)
363
00:14:33,667 --> 00:14:35,468
You all right, Andre?
364
00:14:35,469 --> 00:14:38,037
- Got my jacket.
- Let's get out of here.
365
00:14:38,038 --> 00:14:40,506
- (PHONE CHIMES)
- LUCIOUS: Oh, wow.
366
00:14:40,507 --> 00:14:41,908
Andre came through.
367
00:14:41,909 --> 00:14:45,812
Kelly Patel's bottom line number.
368
00:14:45,813 --> 00:14:48,281
- $650 million.
- (SCOFFS)
369
00:14:48,282 --> 00:14:49,649
(THIRSTY LAUGHS)
370
00:14:49,650 --> 00:14:50,850
We ain't got it.
371
00:14:50,851 --> 00:14:52,618
And Eddie and Patel put a chokehold
372
00:14:52,619 --> 00:14:54,153
on the bank and the VC money.
373
00:14:54,154 --> 00:14:55,788
Maybe we need to, uh,
circle back around
374
00:14:55,789 --> 00:14:56,889
to that punk, Sam Gold.
375
00:14:56,890 --> 00:14:59,158
No, damn it. I am sick and tired
376
00:14:59,159 --> 00:15:00,827
of looking for the great white hope
377
00:15:00,828 --> 00:15:03,796
with deep pockets
to come and save the day.
378
00:15:03,797 --> 00:15:05,731
Enough of that.
379
00:15:10,304 --> 00:15:13,306
Lucious, do you remember
when PGW turned off the heat
380
00:15:13,307 --> 00:15:14,640
in the dead of winter?
381
00:15:14,641 --> 00:15:18,144
(LAUGHS) How could I forget, man?
382
00:15:18,145 --> 00:15:19,712
It was so cold.
383
00:15:19,713 --> 00:15:22,014
Remember all those inventive ways
384
00:15:22,015 --> 00:15:24,584
we came up with to stay warm?
385
00:15:24,585 --> 00:15:26,819
My point is, who helped us?
386
00:15:26,820 --> 00:15:29,622
Mike-Mike. He came in big-time.
387
00:15:29,623 --> 00:15:33,459
He-he gave us, um, a couple
kerosene heaters and a...
388
00:15:35,195 --> 00:15:39,232
I see where you're going with this.
389
00:15:39,233 --> 00:15:41,534
What?
390
00:15:41,535 --> 00:15:42,802
We go back to our roots.
391
00:15:42,803 --> 00:15:44,403
Damn right. See, on the block,
392
00:15:44,404 --> 00:15:45,972
if you couldn't cover your rent,
393
00:15:45,973 --> 00:15:47,373
- you threw a party.
- (CHUCKLES)
394
00:15:47,374 --> 00:15:50,042
People chipped in, you were good
for another month.
395
00:15:50,043 --> 00:15:51,377
Well, you know what, I'm so glad
396
00:15:51,378 --> 00:15:53,212
that we can afford
a trip down memory lane.
397
00:15:53,213 --> 00:15:55,214
But we're talking about
a lot more money
398
00:15:55,215 --> 00:15:56,849
than a couple of hundred bucks
399
00:15:56,850 --> 00:15:58,417
for the electric bill.
We're talking about
400
00:15:58,418 --> 00:15:59,819
60 to 70 mil.
401
00:16:01,088 --> 00:16:05,391
So... we throw a live concert
on XStream.
402
00:16:05,392 --> 00:16:08,628
LUCIOUS: We could set up
a separate account
403
00:16:08,629 --> 00:16:12,031
for the crowd fundraising.
If we don't make enough
404
00:16:12,032 --> 00:16:14,066
to buy back the company,
we give them their money back.
405
00:16:14,067 --> 00:16:18,571
But if we make enough,
we pay them back when we can.
406
00:16:18,572 --> 00:16:20,006
Bingo.
407
00:16:20,007 --> 00:16:22,241
Ain't no party like a rent party.
408
00:16:22,242 --> 00:16:23,943
(LAUGHS)
409
00:16:26,046 --> 00:16:27,914
These were my lucky shoes.
410
00:16:27,915 --> 00:16:30,283
Well, your luck's about to run out.
411
00:16:30,284 --> 00:16:32,285
The Lyons are all kinds of crazy.
412
00:16:32,286 --> 00:16:35,187
What makes you think Andre
is any different?
413
00:16:35,188 --> 00:16:37,123
Can't you see he's playing us?
414
00:16:37,124 --> 00:16:38,624
Or am I playing him?
415
00:16:38,625 --> 00:16:42,695
No. You can't trust him
or Anika for that matter.
416
00:16:42,696 --> 00:16:45,631
She's got duplicitous bitch
written all over her fake boobs.
417
00:16:45,632 --> 00:16:47,600
I think they're real.
418
00:16:47,601 --> 00:16:48,801
That was a test.
419
00:16:48,802 --> 00:16:50,136
Why are you even looking?
420
00:16:50,137 --> 00:16:52,438
- (EDDIE LAUGHS)
- No, why are you laughing?
421
00:16:52,439 --> 00:16:55,741
I can't have you distracted
right now. Think!
422
00:16:55,742 --> 00:16:58,477
(SIGHS) What matters...
423
00:16:58,478 --> 00:17:01,113
is do you trust me?
424
00:17:03,417 --> 00:17:05,084
What matters...
425
00:17:05,085 --> 00:17:09,722
is that in all of our deals...
426
00:17:09,723 --> 00:17:10,823
BOTH: We've always had
427
00:17:10,824 --> 00:17:13,092
an ace up our sleeves. Yes.
428
00:17:19,900 --> 00:17:21,667
Where's your ace?
429
00:17:21,668 --> 00:17:23,436
That's why I called you.
430
00:17:23,437 --> 00:17:25,571
(SCOFFS)
431
00:17:25,572 --> 00:17:27,039
I need you to do something for me.
432
00:17:27,040 --> 00:17:28,274
- You always need me...
- Hey.
433
00:17:28,275 --> 00:17:30,709
- ...to do something for you.
- Hey.
434
00:17:44,057 --> 00:17:45,358
COOKIE: Veronica's in our lineup
435
00:17:45,359 --> 00:17:47,159
for the rent party, so that's good.
436
00:17:47,160 --> 00:17:49,195
Yeah, well, we can forget about Tiana.
437
00:17:49,196 --> 00:17:52,164
You know, she's out.
Eddie got her head so gassed up,
438
00:17:52,165 --> 00:17:54,333
she don't know which way is up.
439
00:17:54,334 --> 00:17:58,471
We don't need or want
her auto-tuned ass.
440
00:17:58,472 --> 00:18:00,039
- LUCIOUS: Amen.
- COOKIE: We got our babies,
441
00:18:00,040 --> 00:18:01,707
Jamal and Hakeem.
442
00:18:01,708 --> 00:18:04,477
- TBD decided to stay with Eddie.
- Of course they did.
443
00:18:04,478 --> 00:18:06,493
They struggling to stay
relevant, old hags.
444
00:18:06,494 --> 00:18:07,380
(LUCIOUS LAUGHS)
445
00:18:07,381 --> 00:18:08,781
(BARKS)
446
00:18:08,782 --> 00:18:10,383
COOKIE: We gave them Marmadukes
447
00:18:10,384 --> 00:18:13,486
- a-a second life.
- (LAUGHS) Marmaduke.
448
00:18:13,487 --> 00:18:15,187
They need to be kissing our feet.
449
00:18:15,188 --> 00:18:17,223
You guys, you have to see this.
450
00:18:17,224 --> 00:18:18,424
It's Blake's father.
451
00:18:18,425 --> 00:18:21,827
Got this hip-hoppety guy,
Licorice Lyon,
452
00:18:21,828 --> 00:18:23,329
got our young people talking,
453
00:18:23,330 --> 00:18:25,564
- dressing like thugs.
- HOST: It's hit pretty close
454
00:18:25,565 --> 00:18:27,867
- to home for you, hasn't it?
- Done filled my son Blake's head
455
00:18:27,868 --> 00:18:29,835
with so much stuff, he don't
know he's white anymore.
456
00:18:29,836 --> 00:18:31,704
- All right, all right.
- How the hell did he get in here?
457
00:18:31,705 --> 00:18:33,372
We get to hear my side
of the story now?
458
00:18:33,373 --> 00:18:35,674
Jason, can you get
this guy a-a microphone?
459
00:18:35,675 --> 00:18:38,044
What do you want to say
to your father, hmm?
460
00:18:38,045 --> 00:18:40,379
BLAKE: You know, that picture you saw,
461
00:18:40,380 --> 00:18:43,816
yeah, that's me, in front
of his broken down house.
462
00:18:43,817 --> 00:18:46,318
My hand is raised because
he told me to raise it.
463
00:18:46,319 --> 00:18:47,887
He said it would make me look
464
00:18:47,888 --> 00:18:50,056
like I was really his son,
you remember that?
465
00:18:50,057 --> 00:18:51,223
- JACKSON: Yes, I do.
- BLAKE: Yeah.
466
00:18:51,224 --> 00:18:53,859
You know what, Dad?
467
00:18:53,860 --> 00:18:55,828
I would've done anything
468
00:18:55,829 --> 00:19:00,866
for you to treat me like
I was really your son. (SIGHS)
469
00:19:00,867 --> 00:19:03,569
Until the next day. Yeah.
470
00:19:03,570 --> 00:19:07,306
When you took me to that crazy
rally with those crazy racists.
471
00:19:07,307 --> 00:19:09,542
- (AUDIENCE EXCLAIMING)
- I went back
472
00:19:09,543 --> 00:19:11,410
to my mom's house that night,
and I ain't seen
473
00:19:11,411 --> 00:19:13,079
or heard from this dude...
474
00:19:13,080 --> 00:19:15,948
- in the 15 years since then!
- Boy!
475
00:19:15,949 --> 00:19:19,785
(BOTH SHOUTING)
476
00:19:19,786 --> 00:19:21,387
You don't know who...
477
00:19:21,388 --> 00:19:25,591
Keem, make sure he's
at the rent party.
478
00:19:25,592 --> 00:19:27,893
You believe him?
479
00:19:27,894 --> 00:19:29,895
I do.
480
00:19:30,964 --> 00:19:33,065
- Um...
- Does it matter?
481
00:19:33,066 --> 00:19:36,802
I mean, that video's about
to go viral right now.
482
00:19:36,803 --> 00:19:38,971
I mean, we over here struggling
to stay alive.
483
00:19:38,972 --> 00:19:41,574
You know how many viewers
that's gonna bring in?
484
00:19:41,575 --> 00:19:43,542
- Think about it.
- (SIGHS)
485
00:19:43,543 --> 00:19:45,945
You know what, speaking of viral,
486
00:19:45,946 --> 00:19:49,982
there's one more act
that we need up on that stage.
487
00:19:52,819 --> 00:19:54,920
Hey. I want to see you.
488
00:19:54,921 --> 00:19:56,422
Excuse me.
489
00:20:02,729 --> 00:20:04,563
Drink this.
490
00:20:05,999 --> 00:20:07,333
I need your band.
491
00:20:07,334 --> 00:20:10,436
My tour band? All right.
492
00:20:10,437 --> 00:20:11,937
No, your real band.
493
00:20:11,938 --> 00:20:15,507
That little Fortress of Solitude
band you hide behind.
494
00:20:18,845 --> 00:20:20,980
Someone tell you? How'd you find out?
495
00:20:22,816 --> 00:20:26,152
Maybe it's the vibrato you put
at the end of your long notes
496
00:20:26,153 --> 00:20:29,622
or was it that extra deep breath
497
00:20:29,623 --> 00:20:31,857
you take before your chorus?
498
00:20:31,858 --> 00:20:33,159
Which one do you think?
499
00:20:33,160 --> 00:20:36,328
All right, you got me.
500
00:20:37,898 --> 00:20:40,799
As far as bringing my band,
the answer is no.
501
00:20:40,800 --> 00:20:43,135
Really?
502
00:20:46,973 --> 00:20:49,875
Everybody in this world
right now wants
503
00:20:49,876 --> 00:20:52,745
to know who is this mystery band.
504
00:20:52,746 --> 00:20:55,181
Now, if we reveal you
at the rent party,
505
00:20:55,182 --> 00:20:58,184
can you imagine how many viewers
are gonna tune in?
506
00:20:58,185 --> 00:21:00,819
Yeah, I can.
507
00:21:00,820 --> 00:21:03,689
It's a shame you didn't realize
that before you called it junk.
508
00:21:03,690 --> 00:21:05,524
No, it's not about what I think.
509
00:21:05,525 --> 00:21:07,593
It's about you helping
the family when we need you.
510
00:21:07,594 --> 00:21:10,563
I am helping the family.
511
00:21:10,564 --> 00:21:12,698
So either accept me performing solo
512
00:21:12,699 --> 00:21:14,233
or don't accept me performing solo
513
00:21:14,234 --> 00:21:17,102
and I'll still do it,
because I help the family.
514
00:21:24,044 --> 00:21:25,544
Dad, don't you miss it?
515
00:21:25,545 --> 00:21:27,513
Huh? Not making music
516
00:21:27,514 --> 00:21:31,050
for-for ticket sales or units
sold or anything like that.
517
00:21:31,051 --> 00:21:34,553
Just making music.
518
00:21:34,554 --> 00:21:36,121
Ain't no way you don't miss that.
519
00:21:36,122 --> 00:21:37,690
