Previously on "Empire"...
Rhonda's fine.
2
00:00:03,536 --> 00:00:05,104
but the baby didn't make it.
3
00:00:05,105 --> 00:00:07,439
RHONDA: God doesn't exist.
If He did,
4
00:00:07,440 --> 00:00:09,541
the baby would still be here.
5
00:00:09,542 --> 00:00:11,343
Dwight Walker, that's my real name.
6
00:00:11,345 --> 00:00:13,112
If you win
an ASA against your father,
7
00:00:13,114 --> 00:00:15,446
you're on your way to being legendary.
8
00:00:15,448 --> 00:00:16,902
JAMIESON: Jamal's got
a girlfriend and all.
9
00:00:16,928 --> 00:00:17,850
LUCIOUS: He didn't tell you?
10
00:00:17,852 --> 00:00:20,285
I'm still gay. Well, then what
are you screwing Skye for?
11
00:00:20,286 --> 00:00:21,553
As the new chairman
of this board,
12
00:00:21,554 --> 00:00:23,121
I am turning over my proxy
13
00:00:23,123 --> 00:00:24,056
to my wife, while I'm undergoing
14
00:00:24,057 --> 00:00:25,524
chemo and radiation.
15
00:00:25,525 --> 00:00:28,160
What would you say if I made you CEO of Empire?
16
00:00:28,161 --> 00:00:29,228
But you need to get rid
of your little
17
00:00:29,230 --> 00:00:31,030
Mexican girlfriend first.
18
00:00:31,032 --> 00:00:33,131
I told you, I think I'm in
love with her. I love you.
19
00:00:33,134 --> 00:00:36,868
I will stop at nothing
to take my company back.
20
00:00:36,871 --> 00:00:38,536
I ain't got to do what you want.
21
00:00:38,539 --> 00:00:39,637
Cookie has her own
company under Empire
22
00:00:39,640 --> 00:00:40,905
And that's ridiculous.
23
00:00:40,908 --> 00:00:42,374
I want to be head of A&R,
for all of Empire.
24
00:00:42,375 --> 00:00:44,308
Ma, you got yourself a deal.
25
00:00:44,310 --> 00:00:47,179
I'm going to take Camilla
out from the inside.
26
00:00:47,180 --> 00:00:48,112
You got 48 hours.
27
00:00:51,051 --> 00:00:52,317
Ladies and gentlemen,
28
00:00:52,319 --> 00:00:55,186
Empire's new CEO,
Hakeem Lyon.
29
00:00:55,189 --> 00:00:56,188
(applause)
30
00:00:56,189 --> 00:00:58,057
What's up, y'all?
31
00:00:58,058 --> 00:01:00,058
Let me just say,
before we start this meeting,
32
00:01:00,060 --> 00:01:01,692
that I'm very excited to be
33
00:01:01,695 --> 00:01:04,763
the new Chief Executive Officer
of Empire Enterprises.
34
00:01:04,765 --> 00:01:06,097
Thank y'all for coming.
35
00:01:06,099 --> 00:01:08,500
This company was kicked off
by my parents,
36
00:01:08,501 --> 00:01:09,734
and we will keep it
in my family bloodline.
37
00:01:09,736 --> 00:01:12,070
Starting with my mother,
Cookie Lyon,
38
00:01:12,073 --> 00:01:13,739
she will be leading
with her creative direction,
39
00:01:13,740 --> 00:01:16,775
as our new head of A&R
for all of Empire,
40
00:01:16,777 --> 00:01:19,177
and our sub-label,
Lyon Dynasty.
41
00:01:19,180 --> 00:01:21,045
My brother Andre's been doing
a great job
42
00:01:21,048 --> 00:01:22,548
as Chief Financial Officer,
43
00:01:22,549 --> 00:01:24,682
making sure we don't go broke.
(reporters chuckling)
44
00:01:24,685 --> 00:01:26,852
You know, I'm going to keep him
in that position.
45
00:01:26,853 --> 00:01:28,019
And he's going to continue to be
46
00:01:28,021 --> 00:01:30,789
the President
of Gutter Life Records.
47
00:01:30,790 --> 00:01:32,758
And the big news is that
my brother Jamal's
48
00:01:32,759 --> 00:01:34,359
going to step aside
as vice-chairman,
49
00:01:34,360 --> 00:01:37,061
and he's going to focus on his
Black and White album,
50
00:01:37,063 --> 00:01:39,897
and focus on his seven
ASA nominations.
51
00:01:39,900 --> 00:01:41,733
Congratulations, bro.
52
00:01:41,734 --> 00:01:44,402
So, we have some time
for some questions.
53
00:01:44,405 --> 00:01:46,572
REPORTER: Hakeem...
plan to take the company
54
00:01:46,573 --> 00:01:47,906
in a new direction?
55
00:01:47,908 --> 00:01:50,942
Well, I plan to continue
on keeping the company
56
00:01:50,944 --> 00:01:52,878
as the dominant,
most relevant,
57
00:01:52,879 --> 00:01:54,412
most innovative music company
58
00:01:54,414 --> 00:01:56,081
on the face of the planet.
59
00:01:56,082 --> 00:01:57,382
You.
60
00:01:57,384 --> 00:01:59,651
Excuse me,
you never mentioned Lucious.
61
00:01:59,652 --> 00:02:00,385
Who's Lucious?
62
00:02:00,387 --> 00:02:02,221
Um, Lucious is focusing
63
00:02:02,222 --> 00:02:03,555
on his music right now.
64
00:02:03,557 --> 00:02:04,890
In addition to producing
65
00:02:04,891 --> 00:02:07,058
his half of
Jamal's Black and White album,
66
00:02:07,061 --> 00:02:09,260
he's also prepping a video
for his number one hit,
67
00:02:09,263 --> 00:02:10,896
"Boom, Boom, Boom, Boom."
68
00:02:10,897 --> 00:02:13,498
Hakeem, will Empire be
underwriting this video?
69
00:02:13,501 --> 00:02:14,765
Considering everything
that's happened between
70
00:02:14,768 --> 00:02:16,001
you and your father.
71
00:02:16,002 --> 00:02:17,735
Did you just hear what she said?
72
00:02:17,737 --> 00:02:20,271
"Boom, Boom, Boom, Boom"
has been nominated for a ASA.
73
00:02:20,274 --> 00:02:23,074
Okay, now, Lucious has been
a big part of this company,
74
00:02:23,076 --> 00:02:25,276
and Empire will always
support Lucious Lyon.
75
00:02:25,278 --> 00:02:26,944
Thank y'all for coming.
76
00:02:26,947 --> 00:02:28,013
Yes, thank you for coming.
Thanks.

I got to tell you,

00:02:41,027 --> 00:02:42,426
that you got to back off
81
00:02:42,429 --> 00:02:43,861
and you got to let me
do what I need to do.
82
00:02:43,864 --> 00:02:46,932
Boy, you better do
what we discussed,
83
00:02:46,933 --> 00:02:48,266
if you want to stay alive,
84
00:02:48,269 --> 00:02:51,036
let alone stay on as CEO.

I'm talking about more than
a thousand extras.

And when Richard banishes
Bolingbroke...

Who's playing the role of
Bolingbroke in the video?
91

Oh, my girl, Freda Gatz
over there.

She's from Q&A News.

Oh, Lucious,
you are not subtle,

are you?
97
00:03:24,638 --> 00:03:25,871
Only when I want to be.
98
00:03:28,509 --> 00:03:31,009
Look, what's your angle
on this article, anyway?
99
00:03:31,010 --> 00:03:33,512
Richard II is about
a deposed king,
100
00:03:33,514 --> 00:03:35,146
violently trying to
take back his throne
101
00:03:35,149 --> 00:03:36,647
from a weak usurper.
102
00:03:36,650 --> 00:03:38,817
So should we expect violence?
103
00:03:38,819 --> 00:03:40,185
LUCIOUS:
I mean, stylized violence.
104
00:03:40,187 --> 00:03:43,187
More Jon Woo we were thinking
than, than Tarantino.
105
00:03:43,189 --> 00:03:45,223
In real life, though.
106
00:03:45,225 --> 00:03:46,358
What are you prepared to do
to get your company back
107
00:03:46,360 --> 00:03:47,759
from your son Hakeem?
108
00:03:47,760 --> 00:03:49,694
I won't have to do
a damn thing, sweetheart.
109
00:03:49,697 --> 00:03:52,097
I predict in three months,
110
00:03:52,098 --> 00:03:53,998
they're going to come
crawling back to me,
111
00:03:54,001 --> 00:03:55,334
the same what that Apple
112
00:03:55,336 --> 00:03:57,502
came crawling back
to Steve Jobs, sweetie.
113
00:03:57,503 --> 00:03:59,037

came for you,

00:04:11,352 --> 00:04:12,850
it seemed personal.
120
00:04:12,853 --> 00:04:14,118
Lady, you're just trying

178
00:06:16,643 --> 00:06:18,410
Hakeem did surprisingly well
179
00:06:18,411 --> 00:06:19,677
at his little
press conference, didn't he?
180
00:06:19,680 --> 00:06:22,514
Wow, I mean,
it's just insane.
181
00:06:22,516 --> 00:06:25,817
There's no way that he can run
a company as big as Empire.
182
00:06:25,819 --> 00:06:29,187
Reverend Pryce says
God has a plan for me.
183
00:06:29,189 --> 00:06:31,156
I need to pay attention
because... (clears throat)
184
00:06:31,158 --> 00:06:33,725
he might want me to lead Empire,
185
00:06:33,726 --> 00:06:34,860
or he might have
something else in mind,
186
00:06:34,862 --> 00:06:36,194
I don't know.
187
00:06:36,196 --> 00:06:37,696
I need to tell you something,
188
00:06:37,697 --> 00:06:39,230
and, and I know you
don't believe in this stuff,
189
00:06:39,233 --> 00:06:41,332
but I, I hope that you
won't dismiss it out of hand.
190
00:06:41,334 --> 00:06:42,600
What?
191
00:06:44,838 --> 00:06:46,904
Baby...
192
00:06:46,906 --> 00:06:48,540
I had a vision.
193
00:06:48,542 --> 00:06:49,540
Oh...
194
00:06:49,543 --> 00:06:52,009
What was your vision, babe?
195
00:06:52,012 --> 00:06:54,713
Your fall down the stairs,
it wasn't an accident.
196
00:06:54,715 --> 00:06:56,915
(sighs): Oh...
Honey, you didn't just fall.
197
00:06:56,917 --> 00:06:58,716
Andre, please,
don't do this, really.
198
00:06:58,718 --> 00:07:00,117
I'm not doing anything, God is.
199
00:07:00,120 --> 00:07:03,754
He's leading me, so I
won't let this go.
200
00:07:03,757 --> 00:07:05,923
He wants us to find out
what or who... Who?
201
00:07:05,925 --> 00:07:07,793
Who caused you
to lose our child.
202
00:07:07,795 --> 00:07:10,428
You're acting paranoid
right now,
203
00:07:10,430 --> 00:07:12,096
and that's a sign of a break.
204
00:07:12,098 --> 00:07:13,264
I promise you I'm
taking care of myself.
205
00:07:13,266 --> 00:07:14,766
Are you?
I am.
206
00:07:14,768 --> 00:07:16,935
I'm taking my medication
every single day, I am.
207
00:07:16,937 --> 00:07:19,437
I'm just really worried
about it, Andre, that's all.
208
00:07:19,439 --> 00:07:21,740
I need you to trust me, okay?
Okay, I trust you.
209
00:07:21,742 --> 00:07:23,108
I need you to have faith.
210
00:07:23,110 --> 00:07:24,408
Okay, well,
I don't need faith.
211
00:07:24,411 --> 00:07:26,110
That's for sure.
Well, what do you need?
212
00:07:26,112 --> 00:07:28,980
I just... I think I need to
just get out of the house.
213
00:07:28,981 --> 00:07:30,815
Honestly, I need to
get back to work.
214
00:07:30,817 --> 00:07:32,082
Okay, you want to go back
to Whitney Lane?
215
00:07:32,084 --> 00:07:33,784
I heard that Camilla
was starting
216
00:07:33,786 --> 00:07:35,319
a high-end fashion department
at Empire, is that true?
217
00:07:35,322 --> 00:07:36,954
Yeah.
218
00:07:36,956 --> 00:07:39,324
"Antony and Cleopatra,"
in honor of her and Hakeem.
219
00:07:39,326 --> 00:07:40,891
You're kidding me.
220
00:07:40,894 --> 00:07:42,427
I wish I was, but...
221
00:07:42,428 --> 00:07:43,894
Wow.
222
00:07:43,896 --> 00:07:45,564
I just feel like I can't
sit around wallowing
223
00:07:45,566 --> 00:07:47,331
and feel sorry for myself.
224
00:07:47,334 --> 00:07:49,433
So do you think that you could
talk to Hakeem and ask him
225
00:07:49,435 --> 00:07:51,836
if she would get me in there?
226
00:07:51,838 --> 00:07:52,903
Sure, absolutely.
227
00:07:52,906 --> 00:07:53,904
Thank you.
228
00:07:53,906 --> 00:07:54,906
If...
229
00:07:54,908 --> 00:07:56,141
Oh, God.
230
00:07:57,076 --> 00:08:00,278
If... you do something for me.
231
00:08:00,279 --> 00:08:01,413
What?
232
00:08:01,415 --> 00:08:03,113
Come to church with me.
233
00:08:03,115 --> 00:08:07,586
See Reverend Pryce
for grief counseling.
234
00:08:07,588 --> 00:08:09,754
I know it'll help
you heal, Rhonda.
235
00:08:09,755 --> 00:08:11,021
It'll help heal us.
236
00:08:12,526 --> 00:08:14,658
Will you come?
237
00:08:14,661 --> 00:08:15,994
THIRSTY: Uh, let's make sure
the neighborhood knows
238
00:08:15,995 --> 00:08:17,161
that we're coming
to shoot a video.
239
00:08:17,163 --> 00:08:18,529
Keep it clean.
You got it.
240
00:08:18,531 --> 00:08:20,098
Ms. Lyon,
241
00:08:20,100 --> 00:08:21,533
Lucious is interviewing
the video directors,
242
00:08:21,535 --> 00:08:22,701
how about I show
you around?
243
00:08:22,702 --> 00:08:24,002
Uh, you don't need
to show me around.
244
00:08:24,004 --> 00:08:25,202
This is my place, punk.
245
00:08:25,204 --> 00:08:26,838
Get your ass out of here.
246
00:08:26,839 --> 00:08:28,105
LUCIOUS: Uh, Ms. Miles,
please see him out.
247
00:08:28,108 --> 00:08:29,540
Thank you for your time.
248
00:08:29,543 --> 00:08:31,509
Why do you even...
MS. MILES: Right this way.
249
00:08:31,512 --> 00:08:33,110
All these new school
directors are all the same,
250
00:08:33,113 --> 00:08:34,812
a bunch of hacks.
251
00:08:34,815 --> 00:08:37,481
Remember when you and I
used to direct our own videos?
252
00:08:37,484 --> 00:08:38,649
Yeah, well, that
was back before
253
00:08:38,652 --> 00:08:40,051
we had the
generous support
254
00:08:40,052 --> 00:08:42,620
of the head of
Empire's A&R Department.
255
00:08:42,623 --> 00:08:44,221
Show me your storyboard.
256
00:08:44,224 --> 00:08:45,289
And you can go back
257
00:08:45,292 --> 00:08:46,625
to being useless.
258
00:08:46,626 --> 00:08:48,460
Stop wearing
your granddaddy's suits.
259
00:08:48,461 --> 00:08:50,128
Okay, so the good thing
(Thirsty chuckling)
260
00:08:50,129 --> 00:08:51,495
is old resting bitch face
261
00:08:51,498 --> 00:08:53,398
is busy with her
fashion company,
262
00:08:53,399 --> 00:08:56,467
so she seems to be staying
out of our business.
263
00:08:56,470 --> 00:08:58,903
Meanwhile, I'm working on our
plan to get her out of Empire.
264
00:08:58,905 --> 00:09:01,038
You need to get rid of this.
265
00:09:01,041 --> 00:09:02,374
Lose it.
You don't need it.
266
00:09:02,375 --> 00:09:03,475
Wait, w-wait, wait,
that's my dream sequence.
267
00:09:03,476 --> 00:09:04,808
Yeah, I know.
268
00:09:04,811 --> 00:09:07,879
It's beautiful,
but it's too much, I mean,
269
00:09:07,880 --> 00:09:09,748
you're hiding behind
all that fantasy.
270
00:09:09,750 --> 00:09:11,249
Get rid of it.
You don't need it.
271
00:09:11,250 --> 00:09:12,850
The song's not about hiding.
272
00:09:12,852 --> 00:09:15,052
Boom, boom, boom, boom,
bang, bang, bang, bang.
273
00:09:15,054 --> 00:09:16,754
Drop that. Trust me.
274
00:09:16,756 --> 00:09:18,590
That's dope.
Damn 'em.
275
00:09:18,591 --> 00:09:20,759
You always were good, Cookie.
276
00:09:20,760 --> 00:09:22,594
I know.
277
00:09:22,596 --> 00:09:24,229
Okay...
278
00:09:24,230 --> 00:09:26,264
(muttering) let me try your
ears on something else.
279
00:09:29,101 --> 00:09:31,235
(dramatic piano melody
playing)
280
00:09:31,238 --> 00:09:32,336
Mm!
281
00:09:34,441 --> 00:09:37,775
Just piano.
Yeah. It's hot.
282
00:09:40,379 --> 00:09:41,211
Mm...
283
00:09:41,213 --> 00:09:43,315
(music continues)
284
00:09:46,286 --> 00:09:47,619
(chuckles)
285
00:09:47,620 --> 00:09:48,886
(remote blips,
lowers volume on music)
286
00:09:48,889 --> 00:09:50,388
That's fire, Lucious.
287
00:09:50,389 --> 00:09:54,125
I mean, I can hear
the pain, the passion...
288
00:09:54,126 --> 00:09:56,894
Yeah, you're doing some
pretty decent work right there.
289
00:09:56,897 --> 00:09:58,629
You mean that?
Maybe.
290
00:09:58,631 --> 00:10:00,398
(laughing)
Seriously, that's
291
00:10:00,399 --> 00:10:01,799
probably some of the best work
292
00:10:01,802 --> 00:10:04,769
you've done in a long time.
293
00:10:04,770 --> 00:10:07,605
Maybe that's the silver lining.
294
00:10:07,607 --> 00:10:10,041
Maybe Hakeem
did you a favor.
295
00:10:10,043 --> 00:10:12,443
I can't wait to
return the favor.
296
00:10:12,446 --> 00:10:14,412
(wry laugh)
297
00:10:14,413 --> 00:10:16,280
So how's Jamal doing?
(knocking on door)
298
00:10:16,283 --> 00:10:18,416
I got some bad news.
299
00:10:18,418 --> 00:10:19,783
And not altogether surprising,
300
00:10:19,786 --> 00:10:21,919
but, but, but bad nonetheless.
301
00:10:21,922 --> 00:10:22,921
I should've seen it coming,
I should have been ahead of it.
302
00:10:22,923 --> 00:10:24,788
I'm sorry, I'm, I'm very sorry.
303
00:10:24,791 --> 00:10:26,091
Are you okay, Andre?
304
00:10:26,092 --> 00:10:27,125
I'm not okay, no.
305
00:10:27,126 --> 00:10:28,726
I'm not okay. No.
306
00:10:28,729 --> 00:10:29,961
Hey, wait, wait. Wh...
what's the bad news?
307
00:10:29,962 --> 00:10:31,129
Camilla cut the budget
for your video.
308
00:10:31,130 --> 00:10:32,129
She slashed it.
309
00:10:32,131 --> 00:10:33,798
What?! She can't do that.
310
00:10:33,799 --> 00:10:34,899
Oh, yes, she can.
311
00:10:34,900 --> 00:10:36,301
Any outlay over $750,000
312
00:10:36,302 --> 00:10:38,102
is subject to board approval.
313
00:10:38,105 --> 00:10:39,136
She controls the board...
314
00:10:39,139 --> 00:10:40,238
Well, not for long.
315
00:10:40,240 --> 00:10:41,740
Hey! Thirsty!
316
00:10:41,741 --> 00:10:42,807
No, uh, uh... n...
317
00:10:42,808 --> 00:10:44,808
Thirsty!
Lucious! Lucious.
318
00:10:44,811 --> 00:10:47,278
You got to sit tight till Hakeem
gets enough dirt on Mimi,
319
00:10:47,279 --> 00:10:50,081
then Dre's ready to pounce.
320
00:10:50,082 --> 00:10:51,649
(slaps wall)
321
00:10:51,652 --> 00:10:53,384
(sighs)
322
00:10:54,988 --> 00:10:56,988
Andre?
323
00:10:56,990 --> 00:11:00,158
You okay, babe?
324
00:11:00,159 --> 00:11:01,558
Yeah.
325
00:11:03,496 --> 00:11:06,965
I'm a little worried you
came back to work too soon.
326
00:11:06,966 --> 00:11:10,000
(chuckles) You don't
got to worry, Mama.
327
00:11:10,003 --> 00:11:11,235
I'm good.
328
00:11:14,006 --> 00:11:16,006
BECKY: Look, Crazy Camilla
cannot stay in charge of Empire.
329
00:11:16,009 --> 00:11:16,841
I really think
that Lucious should just...
330
00:11:16,842 --> 00:11:18,009
JAMAL: Becky, no, trust me.
331
00:11:18,010 --> 00:11:19,309
Cookie put the fear
of God in Hakeem.
332
00:11:19,312 --> 00:11:20,979
Soon as he gets Camilla
on tape admitting
333
00:11:20,980 --> 00:11:23,148
that she and Mimi set
Lucious up, we gonna be fine.
334
00:11:23,149 --> 00:11:24,682
Jamal...!
335
00:11:24,684 --> 00:11:26,350
Congratulations on all
your ASA noms, Boo.
336
00:11:26,352 --> 00:11:27,851
Aw, thank you so much.
337
00:11:27,854 --> 00:11:29,520

please sign these?

356
00:12:03,423 --> 00:12:05,590
That's not even

357
00:12:09,830 --> 00:12:10,961
JAMAL: Let's go.
358
00:12:17,571 --> 00:12:19,003
Jamieson, you really
expected me to believe
359
00:12:19,004 --> 00:12:20,871
that you've never been caught,
I don't know, whispering,
360
00:12:20,874 --> 00:12:22,407
or holding hands with some d...
361
00:12:22,408 --> 00:12:23,875
look at the picture of you
and Chrissie Hynde.
362
00:12:23,876 --> 00:12:25,710
Are you saying that you
didn't hook up with Skye?
363
00:12:25,711 --> 00:12:28,513
I'm saying that it's
nobody's business, honestly.
364
00:12:28,514 --> 00:12:29,947
I'm saying that I don't see
365
00:12:29,950 --> 00:12:31,950
how the entire gay community
can turn against me,
366
00:12:31,951 --> 00:12:33,518
based on gossip and innuendo.
367
00:12:33,519 --> 00:12:35,687
I'm sorry, it's not gossip
and innuendo,
368
00:12:35,688 --> 00:12:37,054
when it's your own father
369
00:12:37,057 --> 00:12:39,857
who's out there bragging
about it, Jamal.
370
00:12:41,061 --> 00:12:42,360
My father?
371
00:12:42,361 --> 00:12:43,695
Lucious is the one that told me
372
00:12:43,697 --> 00:12:44,895
what a great thing it was
373
00:12:44,898 --> 00:12:47,065
that you and Skye got busy.
374
00:12:47,067 --> 00:12:49,299
Not just for you,
but for your career.
375
00:12:49,302 --> 00:12:52,269
He still thinks that
being gay is a liability.
376
00:12:54,474 --> 00:12:56,407
Jamieson, he did
that on purpose.
377
00:12:56,408 --> 00:12:58,308
Explain.
378
00:12:58,311 --> 00:12:59,811
My father and I are
nominated against
379
00:12:59,812 --> 00:13:01,211
each other for
the same category.
380
00:13:01,214 --> 00:13:02,780
He's never won an
ASA award before.
381
00:13:02,783 --> 00:13:04,649
He wants it more
than anything.
382
00:13:04,650 --> 00:13:07,251
Even if it means
sabotaging my chances.
383
00:13:07,254 --> 00:13:09,888
I still can't believe
he'd do that to me.
384
00:13:09,889 --> 00:13:12,190
(kissing)
385
00:13:14,494 --> 00:13:16,827
So how do you like being
a girlfriend of a CEO?
386
00:13:16,830 --> 00:13:19,096
Is that my official title?
387
00:13:19,099 --> 00:13:21,099
We made it official
the other night.
388
00:13:21,100 --> 00:13:22,567
At least that's
what I thought.
389
00:13:22,568 --> 00:13:24,369
Me, too.
390
00:13:25,639 --> 00:13:27,105
Check out the view.
391
00:13:27,106 --> 00:13:28,572
Hakeem, I met with your
sister-in-law today.
392
00:13:28,575 --> 00:13:30,808
I'm prepared to hire her,
so long as...
393
00:13:31,812 --> 00:13:33,311
Who's this?
394
00:13:33,312 --> 00:13:35,813
Laura Calleros, my singer
in Mirage á Trois,
395
00:13:35,816 --> 00:13:36,947
meet Camilla Marks.
396
00:13:36,950 --> 00:13:38,249
Marks-Whiteman.
397
00:13:38,250 --> 00:13:39,750
Camilla Marks-Whiteman,
398
00:13:39,753 --> 00:13:42,519
wife of the
Chairman of the Board of Empire.
399
00:13:42,522 --> 00:13:44,254
See, Laura, she's here,
400
00:13:44,256 --> 00:13:46,758
'cause she got a huge meeting
with A&R downstairs.
401
00:13:46,759 --> 00:13:48,125
And matter of fact,
you should go downstairs,
402
00:13:48,128 --> 00:13:49,259
so you won't be late.
403
00:13:49,261 --> 00:13:50,861
Nice to meet you.
404
00:13:50,864 --> 00:13:51,929
You got this.
405
00:13:55,034 --> 00:13:56,201
What's up?
406
00:13:56,202 --> 00:13:58,802
Didn't I tell you
to get rid of her?
407
00:13:58,804 --> 00:14:00,871
I can't, she's a
big part of Empire.
408
00:14:00,874 --> 00:14:02,807
She's pathetically
in love with you.
409
00:14:02,808 --> 00:14:04,775
So, you married--
what do you want from me?
410
00:14:04,778 --> 00:14:06,711
What am I supposed to be,
a side piece or something?
411
00:14:06,712 --> 00:14:09,714
It's only a matter of time
before my dear wife passes.
412
00:14:09,716 --> 00:14:11,816
And did I mention she's going to
leave her Empire shares to me?
413
00:14:11,817 --> 00:14:14,451
And I've always
imagined you and I,
414
00:14:14,453 --> 00:14:16,653
whether we would dismantle this
company or start a new one...
415
00:14:16,655 --> 00:14:17,956
Dismantle it--
are you crazy?
416
00:14:17,957 --> 00:14:19,490
I'm not here to do that.
417
00:14:19,491 --> 00:14:21,225
I'm here to prove to everybody
that I got this legit.
418
00:14:21,227 --> 00:14:23,193
And that it's not just
because of you.
419
00:14:23,196 --> 00:14:26,331
I believe you'll be a
brilliant CEO, Hakeem.
420
00:14:26,332 --> 00:14:28,633
Didn't I tell you that
you'll be king one day?
421
00:14:30,169 --> 00:14:31,201
Yeah, you told me that.
422
00:14:31,203 --> 00:14:34,338
Are you going to
make me happy?
423
00:14:34,341 --> 00:14:37,875
I want to, and I
promise I'll try.
424
00:14:37,878 --> 00:14:39,878
I certainly hope so,
425
00:14:39,879 --> 00:14:42,580
after everything
I've done for you.
426
00:14:48,889 --> 00:14:50,355
You need to
show her what again?
427
00:14:50,356 --> 00:14:51,889
Well, I have a list
of all the hotels
428
00:14:51,892 --> 00:14:53,057
on the tour stops,
429
00:14:53,058 --> 00:14:54,725
where Empire has
special rates.
430
00:14:54,727 --> 00:14:56,226
I think you better give me
that and let me show her.
431
00:14:56,229 --> 00:14:57,729
Well, I'm going
to tell her, bitch.
432
00:14:57,730 --> 00:15:00,230
Cookie, I got some info for you.
433
00:15:00,232 --> 00:15:02,066
She didn't get it, I did.
434
00:15:02,067 --> 00:15:03,268
That's my tablet, Cookie.
435
00:15:03,269 --> 00:15:04,501
Look, you know she fresh
out of rehab
436
00:15:04,504 --> 00:15:06,070
and her brain still
muddled all up.
437
00:15:06,072 --> 00:15:07,605
What is it? You know
this entitled bitch
438
00:15:07,606 --> 00:15:08,773
had a nerve to get
your publicity girl
439
00:15:08,774 --> 00:15:10,575
to take out your
dry cleaning
440
00:15:10,576 --> 00:15:13,076
instead of doing it herself,
like you asked her to.
441
00:15:13,078 --> 00:15:14,345
First of all, who you
calling a bitch?
442
00:15:14,346 --> 00:15:15,746
I'm calling you a bitch. Hello!
443
00:15:15,749 --> 00:15:17,447
Hello! Hello.
444
00:15:17,450 --> 00:15:20,250
Hi... See all these
lovely people here?
445
00:15:20,253 --> 00:15:22,086
We're having
a meeting in here.
446
00:15:22,087 --> 00:15:24,588
Yeah, because we have jobs,
and we're trying to plan
447
00:15:24,591 --> 00:15:26,591
Tiana's 30-city tour.
448
00:15:26,592 --> 00:15:28,725
So we don't have time
to listen to you
449
00:15:28,727 --> 00:15:31,395
cat and claw down the hall.
450
00:15:31,398 --> 00:15:32,764
You need a smart
assistant.
451
00:15:32,765 --> 00:15:33,932
You need a
brain cell.
452
00:15:33,933 --> 00:15:35,066
(guffawing)
453
00:15:35,067 --> 00:15:37,100
What's after St. Louis?
454
00:15:37,102 --> 00:15:38,937
I'm so sorry.
455
00:15:38,938 --> 00:15:41,605
Okay, uh, we got an offer
from Lincoln Hall,
456
00:15:41,607 --> 00:15:43,573
Mom... and I think that
Tiana can continue at
457
00:15:43,576 --> 00:15:44,741
the Chicago Theater if...
458
00:15:44,744 --> 00:15:46,610
It was Lucious.
459
00:15:46,613 --> 00:15:48,947
(sighs) COOKIE: Your
father is a tampon,
460
00:15:48,948 --> 00:15:50,748
we already knew that.
461
00:15:50,750 --> 00:15:52,649
No, Mom, it-it's different
this time-- it's so much,
462
00:15:52,652 --> 00:15:55,452
it's so much deeper than,
than some stupid award.
463
00:15:55,455 --> 00:15:58,121
You know what I'm saying? He's
foul on a, on a whole other level.
464
00:15:58,124 --> 00:15:59,590
And I'm getting him back
this time.
465
00:15:59,591 --> 00:16:01,326
Jamal, what you need
to be focused on
466
00:16:01,327 --> 00:16:03,126
is getting your fans back, okay?
467
00:16:03,129 --> 00:16:05,797
There are a lot of gay
ASA voters, and you need them.
468
00:16:05,798 --> 00:16:09,167
I don't care about the ASAs
or... I care about my music.
469
00:16:09,168 --> 00:16:10,802
That's what... uh... he's not
having anything to do
470
00:16:10,803 --> 00:16:11,802
with the Black and White album.
471
00:16:11,804 --> 00:16:12,803
We'll push it back...
472
00:16:12,806 --> 00:16:13,971
No...
You can produce it.
473
00:16:13,974 --> 00:16:15,807
I don't care.
No, you will not.
474
00:16:15,808 --> 00:16:19,143
Look, I'm meeting with the PR
team to discuss Tiana's tour.
475
00:16:19,144 --> 00:16:21,611
I will have them come up
with a clever way
476
00:16:21,614 --> 00:16:23,614
to get the gays back behind you.
477
00:16:23,615 --> 00:16:24,816
It shouldn't take a PR team.
478
00:16:24,817 --> 00:16:26,183
Just drop
your drawers, brother.
479
00:16:28,488 --> 00:16:30,288
This is what we do now.
480
00:16:30,289 --> 00:16:32,657
Andre, what do you need?
481
00:16:32,658 --> 00:16:33,490
I-I didn't mean it, bro.
482
00:16:33,493 --> 00:16:35,293
I know, man. It's fine.
483
00:16:35,294 --> 00:16:37,662
What is it, Andre?
484
00:16:37,663 --> 00:16:39,831
Camilla won't approve the
budget for Tiana's tour.
485
00:16:39,832 --> 00:16:40,999
She said Hakeem
hasn't provided her
486
00:16:41,000 --> 00:16:42,133
with the items
she requested.
487
00:16:42,134 --> 00:16:44,134
That bitch got to go.
488
00:16:44,136 --> 00:16:45,669
Mom, we're building a case.
489
00:16:45,672 --> 00:16:47,871
Soon as Hakeem gets us
that tape, I plan to
490
00:16:47,874 --> 00:16:49,874
demonstrate poor performance,
malfeasance,
491
00:16:49,875 --> 00:16:51,509
moral turpitude...
492
00:16:51,510 --> 00:16:54,345
Andre, I don't care if
your crazy ass got to
493
00:16:54,346 --> 00:16:57,081
build a rocket to
launch her to the moon.
494
00:16:58,684 --> 00:17:01,351
I'm so sorry.
It's okay.
495
00:17:01,354 --> 00:17:03,321
Andre, honest, I'm sorry--
I didn't mean to say it.
496
00:17:03,322 --> 00:17:04,388
It just came out.
497
00:17:04,391 --> 00:17:06,523
I need to do a better job
498
00:17:06,526 --> 00:17:07,858
of checking myself, okay?
499
00:17:07,861 --> 00:17:11,762
I'm so... sorry.
500
00:17:14,334 --> 00:17:15,866
I need to go tell Tiana.
501
00:17:15,868 --> 00:17:18,236
She can't hear this
from nobody else.

Come here, let me talk
to you for a minute.
537
00:19:06,913 --> 00:19:11,615
Okay, um, this is
just temporary, okay?
538
00:19:11,617 --> 00:19:13,116
So I don't want
you to get upset,
539
00:19:13,118 --> 00:19:16,753
but we might have to
put your tour on hold.
540
00:19:16,756 --> 00:19:19,257
I'm not upset.
541
00:19:19,259 --> 00:19:20,324
Good.
542
00:19:20,326 --> 00:19:21,759
I'm out.
No, no, no.
543
00:19:21,760 --> 00:19:22,926
Tiana, I said temporary.
544
00:19:22,929 --> 00:19:24,127
It's just temporary, baby.
545
00:19:24,130 --> 00:19:25,529
Would it make a difference
if I started
546
00:19:25,531 --> 00:19:27,698
sleeping with him again?
Who? Hakeem?
547
00:19:27,700 --> 00:19:29,267
And please, don't tell me
548
00:19:29,269 --> 00:19:31,635
he's putting her on
my tour instead.
549
00:19:31,637 --> 00:19:34,137
Mirage á Trois couldn't even
fill up a coffee house.
550
00:19:34,140 --> 00:19:35,472
You are right about that.
551
00:19:35,474 --> 00:19:36,840
That's, that's not what this is about.
You know what?
552
00:19:36,843 --> 00:19:39,176
They're barely good enough
to even open for me.
553
00:19:44,683 --> 00:19:45,950
That's it.
554
00:19:47,686 --> 00:19:50,654
I'm surprised you wanted
to come back to work so soon.
555
00:19:50,656 --> 00:19:52,390
Especially for her.
556
00:19:52,392 --> 00:19:54,491
I had to, honestly.
557
00:19:54,493 --> 00:19:56,626
I've been trying to
explain that to Andre,
558
00:19:56,628 --> 00:19:57,994
but he just
doesn't get it.
559
00:19:57,997 --> 00:19:59,864
He's not good, is he?
560
00:19:59,865 --> 00:20:01,999
He just needs to
recalibrate his meds.
561
00:20:02,000 --> 00:20:03,867
It's happened before,
562
00:20:03,869 --> 00:20:07,805
and major stress is
the worst thing for it.
563
00:20:08,875 --> 00:20:11,808
So...
Like losing your baby.
564
00:20:12,979 --> 00:20:15,846
What do you do
when he gets like that?
565
00:20:15,847 --> 00:20:18,648
I mean, I don't want to see
my baby in that hospital again.
566
00:20:18,651 --> 00:20:20,151
Neither do I.
567
00:20:20,153 --> 00:20:21,852
And I have tried
and tried and tried
568
00:20:21,854 --> 00:20:25,021
to get him to see
a doctor, but he...
569
00:20:25,023 --> 00:20:28,326
We are going to his pastor
for counseling, so...
570
00:20:28,327 --> 00:20:31,061
Well, I hope that works.
571
00:20:31,064 --> 00:20:33,064
Me, too.
Milla's at her
572
00:20:33,066 --> 00:20:35,098
drafting table,
so we probably shouldn't
573
00:20:35,101 --> 00:20:38,102
gab in front of her.
574
00:20:38,104 --> 00:20:40,904
Well, you take care
of yourself, okay?
575
00:20:40,906 --> 00:20:43,007
I will, I will.
576
00:20:47,947 --> 00:20:50,114
Wow, Camilla girl, you are
577
00:20:50,115 --> 00:20:52,349
really working these designs.
578
00:20:52,352 --> 00:20:54,618
Very chic.
579
00:20:54,621 --> 00:20:56,253
As if you would know.
580
00:20:57,056 --> 00:20:59,123
The reason I'm here,
581
00:20:59,125 --> 00:21:01,459
I would like to talk to you
about Tiana's tour.
582
00:21:01,461 --> 00:21:03,560
You know, we've been
working on this for months.
583
00:21:03,563 --> 00:21:06,631
Well, that's before you had to
answer to a board of directors.
584
00:21:06,633 --> 00:21:08,465
Right.
585
00:21:08,468 --> 00:21:11,035
But if artists don't tour,
they don't eat.
586
00:21:11,037 --> 00:21:14,070
Yes, but the board feels
that it's too expensive
587
00:21:14,073 --> 00:21:16,874
for a single artist,
who isn't a stadium act.
588
00:21:16,875 --> 00:21:18,709
Glad you brought that up.
589
00:21:18,711 --> 00:21:20,911
That's why I'm thinking of
sending Mirage á Trois
590
00:21:20,913 --> 00:21:23,948
out on a tour with her,
as the opening act.
591
00:21:25,084 --> 00:21:27,451
(wry chuckling)
592
00:21:27,452 --> 00:21:29,586
Mirage á Trois?
593
00:21:29,588 --> 00:21:32,056
Yes, we get two tours
for the price of one.
594
00:21:32,057 --> 00:21:33,958
I already got them
on a 360 deal,
595
00:21:33,960 --> 00:21:36,727
so we can afford to keep
them out on the road
596
00:21:36,729 --> 00:21:37,961
for months.
597
00:21:37,963 --> 00:21:43,733
Okay, so I'll push it through,
598
00:21:43,736 --> 00:21:47,238
and that way you'll keep her
away for a very long time.
599
00:21:47,240 --> 00:21:48,739
Mm-hmm.
600
00:21:48,740 --> 00:21:49,839
Bingo.
601
00:21:51,477 --> 00:21:52,576
Mom, you can't
be making decisions
602
00:21:52,577 --> 00:21:54,244
without consulting me first.
603
00:21:54,247 --> 00:21:57,981
Boy, I'm trying to protect
your stupid ass, Mr. CEO.
604
00:21:57,983 --> 00:22:01,484
You let that psycho-bitch in the
house in the first place.
605
00:22:01,487 --> 00:22:02,819
I seen a chance
and I went for it.
606
00:22:02,821 --> 00:22:04,121
And I think I deserve my props.
607
00:22:04,123 --> 00:22:05,623
You wanted Lucious out
and I got him out.
608
00:22:05,625 --> 00:22:07,758
You wanted Empire,
and I got Empire.
609
00:22:07,759 --> 00:22:10,260
I am trying to save Empire.
610
00:22:10,262 --> 00:22:12,262
That bitch can burn it down
any time she wants to.
611
00:22:12,265 --> 00:22:14,432
Do you not understand that,
Hakeem?
612
00:22:14,433 --> 00:22:17,768
So until you get me
what I need to get rid of her...
613
00:22:17,769 --> 00:22:19,303
I'm not sending you on tour,
so don't worry.
614
00:22:19,305 --> 00:22:21,137
It's okay, Hakeem.
615
00:22:21,140 --> 00:22:23,606
I actually think it's
a really great idea.
616
00:22:23,608 --> 00:22:25,308
Uh, don't worry about it,
I can handle Camilla.
617
00:22:25,310 --> 00:22:26,711
Are you not listening
to what she's saying?
618
00:22:26,712 --> 00:22:27,944
Laura, please tell him.
619
00:22:27,946 --> 00:22:30,480
It's a huge opportunity.
620
00:22:30,482 --> 00:22:32,316
I talked to the girls.
621
00:22:32,317 --> 00:22:34,951
Mirage á Trois is excited to go
on tour with Tiana. Really?
622
00:22:34,953 --> 00:22:36,686
Get your stuff, hon.
623
00:22:39,025 --> 00:22:42,692
Hakeem,
you brought this on yourself.
624
00:22:42,694 --> 00:22:44,461
You're not only
going to lose Laura,
625
00:22:44,463 --> 00:22:46,463
but you're going to lose
your entire family
626
00:22:46,465 --> 00:22:48,231
if you don't fix this.
627
00:22:59,811 --> 00:23:01,412
So for the shoot,
you guys are going to be
628
00:23:01,413 --> 00:23:03,881
holding up a girl who weighs
roughly 110 pounds
629
00:23:03,883 --> 00:23:05,816
for maybe, I don't know,
five or ten minutes.
630
00:23:05,817 --> 00:23:06,884
Is that going
to be a problem?
631
00:23:07,819 --> 00:23:09,420
(laughing):
Oh, okay.
632
00:23:09,422 --> 00:23:10,988
I guess not.
633
00:23:10,990 --> 00:23:12,690
(whispering): I can't.
I just can't right now.
634
00:23:12,692 --> 00:23:15,259
Would you guys, actually,
excuse me for one second?
635
00:23:15,260 --> 00:23:19,028
You can go ahead and grab their
shoe sizes for me, thanks.
636
00:23:19,030 --> 00:23:21,432
It's not that, it's just
that I don't want you
637
00:23:21,433 --> 00:23:23,901
to travel if you're
not well enough.
638
00:23:23,903 --> 00:23:26,836
Of course, I'm excited
to see you.
639
00:23:26,838 --> 00:23:29,673
But I'm not. Mimi.
640
00:23:29,674 --> 00:23:32,843
You keep accusing me
and it's just so insulting.
641
00:23:32,845 --> 00:23:36,012
Okay.
642
00:23:36,015 --> 00:23:39,250

to seeing you, too.

Jamal, are you saying
Lucious is inauthentic?
710
00:26:59,250 --> 00:27:01,585
I'm saying Lucious Lyon
ain't even his real name.
711
00:27:01,586 --> 00:27:02,987
(feedback squeals,
audience murmurs and gasps)
712
00:27:04,089 --> 00:27:05,756
THIRSTY:
You're a lucky lady.
713
00:27:05,758 --> 00:27:07,124
He wants to give you
an exclusive.
714
00:27:07,125 --> 00:27:09,926
Thank you so much
for coming back.
715
00:27:09,929 --> 00:27:11,929
Sorry about the other day.
716
00:27:11,931 --> 00:27:14,765
I was a bit out of sorts.
717
00:27:14,767 --> 00:27:15,798
And today?
718
00:27:15,800 --> 00:27:17,768
Well, it's a new day.
719
00:27:17,769 --> 00:27:20,003
Hm. I thought you
and Jamal were close.
720
00:27:20,006 --> 00:27:21,505
Has your family turned on you?
721
00:27:21,507 --> 00:27:25,342
What, that little bit
of flexing Jamal did?
722
00:27:25,344 --> 00:27:27,510
He called you "inauthentic."
723
00:27:27,512 --> 00:27:29,747
That seems a little bit
more than flexing.
724
00:27:29,749 --> 00:27:30,580
You gonna retaliate?
725
00:27:30,583 --> 00:27:31,815
Against my own boy.
726
00:27:33,352 --> 00:27:34,684
No.
727
00:27:34,686 --> 00:27:36,286
I'm going to thank him.
728
00:27:36,288 --> 00:27:37,921
Thank him.
729
00:27:37,923 --> 00:27:41,625
That little family jewel
that he dropped,
730
00:27:41,626 --> 00:27:43,693
was something very personal
and private
731
00:27:43,695 --> 00:27:46,529
that I entrusted to him.
732
00:27:46,531 --> 00:27:48,598
But once he did it,
I realized I don't
733
00:27:48,601 --> 00:27:50,701
have to keep it private no more.
734
00:27:50,702 --> 00:27:53,936
So now I'm actually changing
my whole concept of my video
735
00:27:53,939 --> 00:27:58,041
and I thought you might be
interested in that story.
736
00:27:58,044 --> 00:28:01,211
Well, that depends.
What's your story?
737
00:28:01,212 --> 00:28:05,382
Everybody knows the
Lucious Lyon story.
738
00:28:05,384 --> 00:28:07,984
How I started off poor,
739
00:28:07,987 --> 00:28:11,055
sold drugs to finance
my first album--
740
00:28:11,057 --> 00:28:14,958
I mean, damn near taught as
part of the school curriculum.
741
00:28:14,960 --> 00:28:17,126
But I've never shared
with anybody
742
00:28:17,128 --> 00:28:20,530
how I became Lucious Lyon.
743
00:28:20,532 --> 00:28:23,133
That's the exclusive
I'm offering you.
744
00:28:23,134 --> 00:28:26,336
It's the Dwight Walker story.
745
00:28:26,337 --> 00:28:29,138
How a homeless orphan,
746
00:28:29,141 --> 00:28:32,776
became Lucious Lyon.
747
00:28:47,358 --> 00:28:49,093
Rhonda, what you've gone
through can be traumatizing.
748
00:28:49,095 --> 00:28:50,426
It can fester in a marriage,
749
00:28:50,429 --> 00:28:53,596
but in the presence of God,
750
00:28:53,598 --> 00:28:54,765
you can unburden yourself.
751
00:28:54,767 --> 00:28:57,934
Oh, really?
752
00:28:57,936 --> 00:29:01,171
How about, uh,
I go first, Reverend?
753
00:29:01,173 --> 00:29:03,373
All right, Andre.
754
00:29:03,375 --> 00:29:06,375
(exhales) Okay.
755
00:29:06,377 --> 00:29:08,377
Rhonda,
756
00:29:08,380 --> 00:29:10,114
have you been cheating on me?
757
00:29:10,115 --> 00:29:12,348
What?!
758
00:29:12,351 --> 00:29:14,250
No.
759
00:29:15,621 --> 00:29:17,453
Rhonda,
if you're being truthful,
760
00:29:17,455 --> 00:29:20,356
let's try and understand why
Andre's doubting you.
761
00:29:20,358 --> 00:29:23,227
I do understand why
Andre's doubting me.
762
00:29:23,229 --> 00:29:24,862
It's because he's paranoid,
763
00:29:24,864 --> 00:29:27,064
which always precedes
a bipolar break.
764
00:29:27,066 --> 00:29:29,232
Has he told you about
his mental health?
765
00:29:29,234 --> 00:29:30,800
Paranoid how?
766
00:29:30,803 --> 00:29:32,802
He just accused me
of cheating on him,
767
00:29:32,805 --> 00:29:34,904
which is ridiculous.
768
00:29:34,906 --> 00:29:36,707
And also, he's been
having visions.
769
00:29:36,709 --> 00:29:38,776
Babe, have been telling him
about your visions?
770
00:29:38,778 --> 00:29:40,711
I told the reverend that
God's been speaking to me
771
00:29:40,712 --> 00:29:42,378
about what happened
to our child-- yes, I did.
772
00:29:42,381 --> 00:29:44,548
And that doesn't
alarm you at all.
773
00:29:44,549 --> 00:29:47,049
I believe that God speaks
to us in different ways.
774
00:29:47,051 --> 00:29:50,287
It's not my place
to doubt Andre.
775
00:29:52,223 --> 00:29:54,057
Where were you
last night, Rhonda?
776
00:29:54,058 --> 00:29:55,392
I was at work.
777
00:29:55,394 --> 00:29:56,894
I went to see you at work,
you weren't there.
778
00:30:00,332 --> 00:30:01,565
This isn't a
counseling session.
779
00:30:01,567 --> 00:30:03,666
This is a setup.
780
00:30:03,669 --> 00:30:05,803
Isn't it? Is that,
is that what this is?
781
00:30:05,805 --> 00:30:07,503
Wow, okay.
782
00:30:07,506 --> 00:30:09,306
Well, look, if you really
want to help my marriage,
783
00:30:09,307 --> 00:30:11,974
what you need to do is get Andre
to go get some medical help.
784
00:30:11,977 --> 00:30:14,644
He needs to see a doctor
to recalibrate his meds.
785
00:30:14,646 --> 00:30:17,580
That's the only thing that's
going to help my marriage.
786
00:30:17,583 --> 00:30:19,916
Of course I'm concerned
about Andre's health.
787
00:30:19,919 --> 00:30:21,417
Good, 'cause you should be.
788
00:30:21,420 --> 00:30:24,121
But the difference
between now and the past,
789
00:30:24,123 --> 00:30:26,990
is that he's also in God's care,
790
00:30:26,991 --> 00:30:30,294
which is far more powerful
than any doctor's medicine.
791
00:30:30,296 --> 00:30:33,163
Thank you, Reverend.
792
00:30:36,868 --> 00:30:39,001
Ma, where are they?
793
00:30:39,003 --> 00:30:40,604
They went to Andre's pastor
794
00:30:40,605 --> 00:30:43,307
for some marriage
counseling, child.
795
00:30:43,308 --> 00:30:44,875
Don't you think that
Dre needs more than
796
00:30:44,876 --> 00:30:46,844
a pastor?
797
00:30:46,846 --> 00:30:48,377
Dre needs more
than just meds.
798
00:30:48,380 --> 00:30:49,613
Know what I'm saying?
799
00:30:49,615 --> 00:30:50,847
What he really needs...
Hey.
800
00:30:50,849 --> 00:30:52,449
Cookie, would you do me a favor
801
00:30:52,451 --> 00:30:54,183
and tell Andre where I was
802
00:30:54,185 --> 00:30:55,685
last night at 8:00?
803
00:30:55,688 --> 00:30:59,489
Uh, she was in my office
snitching on Camilla.
804
00:30:59,490 --> 00:31:00,824
Did you hear that?
Cookie's office.
805
00:31:00,826 --> 00:31:02,226
So I was not in my office.
806
00:31:02,228 --> 00:31:04,694
I was spying on Camilla
for your family.
807
00:31:04,696 --> 00:31:05,828
That's right.
808
00:31:05,830 --> 00:31:07,897
Dre, this was your plan.
809
00:31:07,900 --> 00:31:09,532
Prove that the way Mimi
810
00:31:09,535 --> 00:31:13,403
and Camilla stole our
company is illegal, right?
811
00:31:13,404 --> 00:31:14,403
Thanks to Rhonda, here,
812
00:31:14,405 --> 00:31:16,138
we know that Mimi's in New York
813
00:31:16,141 --> 00:31:17,974
this weekend.
814
00:31:17,977 --> 00:31:19,675
And now all we got
to do is get Hakeem
815
00:31:19,678 --> 00:31:22,011
to get them to incriminate
themselves on tape.
816
00:31:22,013 --> 00:31:26,083
You know Hakeem will never
do it, okay? He's not with us.
817
00:31:26,085 --> 00:31:27,017
He's paranoid.
818
00:31:27,019 --> 00:31:28,585
COOKIE: Maybe,
819
00:31:28,586 --> 00:31:29,685
but Hakeem ain't here,
820
00:31:29,688 --> 00:31:31,255
and I told him to be.
821
00:31:31,257 --> 00:31:33,923
Yo, chill out, like, uh,
he's at a marketing meeting.
822
00:31:33,925 --> 00:31:34,991
He's going to be here.
823
00:31:34,993 --> 00:31:36,926
Yeah, well,
he better get this done
824
00:31:36,929 --> 00:31:38,761
'cause Lucious got
a itchy trigger finger...
825
00:31:38,763 --> 00:31:40,096
Oh, my goodness, y'all.
826
00:31:40,098 --> 00:31:42,432
I'll talk to Hakeem, come on.
827
00:31:42,433 --> 00:31:44,000
COOKIE:
You better.
828
00:31:44,002 --> 00:31:45,736
This one right here,
we can change the material.
829
00:31:45,738 --> 00:31:47,436
Yes, sir.
Make these gold right here.
830
00:31:50,108 --> 00:31:51,441
Be on time today.
831
00:31:51,442 --> 00:31:53,710
Yes, sir.
832
00:31:53,711 --> 00:31:55,612
Look y'all,
let me talk to my brother.
833
00:31:55,614 --> 00:31:56,880
Man, get out of here, please?
834
00:31:56,882 --> 00:31:57,748
Sure.
835
00:31:57,750 --> 00:31:58,949
Just go.
836
00:32:06,424 --> 00:32:10,460
If we get rid of Camilla...
837
00:32:10,461 --> 00:32:12,194
who gets Empire?
838
00:32:12,196 --> 00:32:14,131
I don't know, man, but...
839
00:32:14,133 --> 00:32:16,432
look, the board got rid of
Lucious and it got nasty,
840
00:32:16,434 --> 00:32:17,934
so it's not like they're
going to reinstate him.
841
00:32:17,936 --> 00:32:19,803
Yeah, but nobody thinks
I should have it.
842
00:32:19,805 --> 00:32:21,605
Who cares?
843
00:32:21,606 --> 00:32:23,740
I'm looking at your right now,
and you're a natural.
844
00:32:23,741 --> 00:32:25,409
You know, but it's not
going to be easy.
845
00:32:25,411 --> 00:32:26,943
You know, with everything
that you did.
846
00:32:26,945 --> 00:32:28,811
You got to really prove yourself
to the rest of the family.
847
00:32:28,814 --> 00:32:31,414
I will.
848
00:32:31,416 --> 00:32:32,848
Watch me.
849
00:32:36,922 --> 00:32:39,556
So babe...
850
00:32:39,557 --> 00:32:41,557
I'm sorry for being
a little extra.
851
00:32:41,559 --> 00:32:43,292
I'm not used to

852
00:32:43,295 --> 00:32:45,095
Just got a lot

But it's what you always wanted.
854
00:32:46,432 --> 00:32:48,597
It is,
but I'm going to be honest,
855
00:32:48,599 --> 00:32:50,467
I couldn't be in this

856
00:32:50,469 --> 00:32:51,634
You took on my family.
857
00:32:51,636 --> 00:32:53,804
You took out Lucious.
858
00:32:53,806 --> 00:32:55,771
And you did it all for me.

Why won't you just come clean
to her about me and you?
875
00:33:44,890 --> 00:33:46,288
Just be real.
876
00:33:46,290 --> 00:33:48,791
She's so possessive, darling.
877
00:33:48,794 --> 00:33:50,693
We'll lose everything--
878
00:33:50,695 --> 00:33:52,729
Empire, Antony and Cleopatra.
879
00:33:52,730 --> 00:33:54,698
I've worked very
hard for this.
880
00:33:54,700 --> 00:33:56,700
Try to be patient.

Takesha.
886
00:34:33,605 --> 00:34:34,670
Yo, what up, Hakeem?
What's up?
887
00:34:34,672 --> 00:34:35,739
My man.
888
00:34:39,010 --> 00:34:40,677
Y'all, our plan was iffy.
889
00:34:40,679 --> 00:34:42,846
Mimi's too sharp to get
caught by us saying stuff,
890
00:34:42,847 --> 00:34:44,713
so I changed tactics.
891
00:34:44,715 --> 00:34:46,949
Now look, I can't save
you from your father
892
00:34:46,952 --> 00:34:47,784
if go around changing...
893
00:34:47,786 --> 00:34:49,719
Mom, it's cool; just wait.
894
00:34:49,721 --> 00:34:52,621
What's your plan,
oh, grand master of espionage?
895
00:34:52,623 --> 00:34:55,958
I made a tape and sent it to Mimi's hotel.
What kind of tape?
896
00:34:55,960 --> 00:34:58,461
Look, Mimi is
overprotective and jealous,
897
00:34:58,463 --> 00:35:02,898
so I made a tape of me
and Camilla doing the nasty.
898
00:35:02,900 --> 00:35:04,467
Oh!
899
00:35:04,469 --> 00:35:06,436
So you, you made
900
00:35:06,438 --> 00:35:07,971
a sex tape, huh, Ray-jay?
901
00:35:07,972 --> 00:35:09,773
Mom, she basically admitted
that she was using her
902
00:35:09,775 --> 00:35:11,141
to get back with me.
903
00:35:11,143 --> 00:35:13,143
And she said some
pretty rank things
904
00:35:13,144 --> 00:35:15,311
like she was hoping Mimi dies,
so I figure Mimi...
905
00:35:15,313 --> 00:35:17,481
Mimi is dumping all
of her Empire stock.
906
00:35:17,483 --> 00:35:19,782
Now, I don't know why,
but she's divesting.
907
00:35:19,784 --> 00:35:20,750
What are you doing, Dre?
908
00:35:20,751 --> 00:35:22,152
I'm calling the estate brokers.
909
00:35:22,153 --> 00:35:23,987
Tell them to buy up as many
shares as we can legally own.
910
00:35:23,989 --> 00:35:25,454
We need to move fast, brother.
911
00:35:25,456 --> 00:35:27,056
Damn, Hakeem.
912
00:35:27,059 --> 00:35:29,826
You did it.
913
00:35:29,827 --> 00:35:31,061
We're free.
914
00:35:31,063 --> 00:35:32,262
So now you believe in me, Ma?
915
00:35:32,264 --> 00:35:34,297
Boy, I always believed in you.
916
00:35:34,298 --> 00:35:35,664
I made you my partner, didn't I?
917
00:35:35,666 --> 00:35:37,567
You don't believe
that I can run Empire.
918
00:35:37,568 --> 00:35:38,835
You put your family first--
919
00:35:38,836 --> 00:35:41,505
that's a step
in the right direction.
920
00:35:41,507 --> 00:35:42,672
Buy it all.
921
00:35:42,673 --> 00:35:43,773
I don't care.
Buy it all.
922
00:35:43,775 --> 00:35:46,742
Drop everything,
put it all in Empire.
923
00:35:46,744 --> 00:35:48,411
Well, then,
buy it in Rhonda's name.
924
00:35:50,782 --> 00:35:52,949
Man.
925
00:35:52,951 --> 00:35:56,018
Listen, I, I, uh...
926
00:35:56,021 --> 00:35:58,355
I created a, a, a trust
in my son's name.
927
00:35:58,356 --> 00:36:00,824
Just buy, buy it in his name.
928
00:36:01,994 --> 00:36:04,193
Okay, mm-hmm.
929
00:36:04,195 --> 00:36:05,896
Good.
930
00:36:07,833 --> 00:36:09,266
Dre!
931
00:36:09,268 --> 00:36:10,634
Oh, my God.
932
00:36:10,635 --> 00:36:11,835
Hey!
933
00:36:11,836 --> 00:36:13,503
Dre! Dre!
934
00:36:13,505 --> 00:36:14,905
It's okay.
935
00:36:16,474 --> 00:36:17,474
No.
936
00:36:17,476 --> 00:36:19,376
Dre, come on, man...
937
00:36:19,378 --> 00:36:20,643
Hey, man, come down
to the studio.
938
00:36:20,646 --> 00:36:22,012
Me and Hakeem got
something for you to hear.
939
00:36:22,014 --> 00:36:23,847
Yeah, come on, let's go
to the studio. Okay.
940
00:36:23,849 --> 00:36:25,047
Yeah.
941
00:36:25,050 --> 00:36:26,615
What is this?
942
00:36:26,617 --> 00:36:29,385
Well, um, Hakeem and
I wrote you a song,
943
00:36:29,387 --> 00:36:31,887
'cause we know that you're going
through a seriously hard time,
944
00:36:31,889 --> 00:36:34,391
and it's all that we know
how to do, so...
945
00:36:34,393 --> 00:36:35,724
we're here for you.
946
00:36:35,726 --> 00:36:36,793
It's going to be okay.
947
00:36:36,795 --> 00:36:37,594

LUCIOUS: So I hear Hakeem's
cleaning up that mess he created.
1004
00:39:09,347 --> 00:39:11,014
Yeah, just call your lawyers.
1005
00:39:11,016 --> 00:39:12,449
They'll tell you--
1006
00:39:12,451 --> 00:39:14,818
Mimi's getting rid
of all of her stock.
1007
00:39:14,820 --> 00:39:16,552
She's probably getting rid
of that bitch, Camilla,
1008
00:39:16,554 --> 00:39:18,655
right about now.
Really?
1009
00:39:18,657 --> 00:39:19,789
Mm-hmm.
1010
00:39:19,791 --> 00:39:21,190
I think I'd like to see that.
1011
00:39:21,193 --> 00:39:24,059
Ugh, Lucious,
everything is done.
1012
00:39:24,061 --> 00:39:25,795
You don't need to do anything.
1013
00:39:25,797 --> 00:39:27,063
Where are you going?
1014
00:39:27,065 --> 00:39:29,798
I'm going home
and celebrate by myself.
1015
00:39:29,800 --> 00:39:31,201
Good work, Cook.
1016
00:39:31,202 --> 00:39:32,635
You pulled it together.
1017
00:39:32,637 --> 00:39:34,971
I know. (chuckles)
1018
00:39:34,972 --> 00:39:36,306
I always do.
1019
00:39:55,092 --> 00:39:58,594
You know, nobody's going to
believe that she killed herself.
1020
00:39:58,597 --> 00:39:59,896
I mean, they might have,
1021
00:39:59,898 --> 00:40:02,065
had I not watched you pour
1022
00:40:02,067 --> 00:40:03,233
that stuff in her drink.
1023
00:40:03,235 --> 00:40:04,333
Get out.
1024
00:40:04,335 --> 00:40:06,202
What was that stuff
you poured in her drink?
1025
00:40:06,204 --> 00:40:09,271
Was that cyanide or arsenic?
1026
00:40:09,273 --> 00:40:11,875
Hakeem's going to kill you
when he finds out what you did.
1027
00:40:11,876 --> 00:40:14,277
What'd you say?
1028
00:40:15,347 --> 00:40:17,280
I'll go, but first
I got to stop over
1029
00:40:17,282 --> 00:40:19,882
at the police
and make sure they get the video
1030
00:40:19,885 --> 00:40:22,918
of you and Mimi's
last few precious moments.
1031
00:40:22,920 --> 00:40:25,789
Not to mention a video
of you and Hakeem.
1032
00:40:25,791 --> 00:40:28,090
He'll never forgive you.
1033
00:40:28,092 --> 00:40:29,592
What are you talking about?
1034
00:40:32,630 --> 00:40:36,199
It was Hakeem that sent
the videos to Mimi.
1035
00:40:38,570 --> 00:40:39,969
How's that feel?
1036
00:40:40,905 --> 00:40:43,306
Knowing it was your Hakeem.
1037
00:40:43,307 --> 00:40:44,974
Your little prince,
1038
00:40:44,976 --> 00:40:47,376
that did all of that to you.
1039
00:40:47,378 --> 00:40:50,980
He used you and got what
he wanted from you,
1040
00:40:50,981 --> 00:40:53,782
and now don't want nothing more
to do with you than I do.
1041
00:40:53,784 --> 00:40:55,418
I mean, if I was you,
1042
00:40:55,420 --> 00:40:57,753
just FYI, I would think
about maybe offing myself.
1043
00:40:57,755 --> 00:40:59,422
I mean the police
are probably going to think
1044
00:40:59,423 --> 00:41:03,226
it's a double suicide
or a murder-suicide.
1045
00:41:03,228 --> 00:41:04,661
It don't matter.
1046
00:41:04,663 --> 00:41:07,063
You're going to be dead.
1047
00:41:09,266 --> 00:41:12,936
That feeling you got right now?
1048
00:41:12,938 --> 00:41:15,103
That's prison.
1049
00:41:15,106 --> 00:41:17,673
But a million times worse.
1050
00:41:17,675 --> 00:41:21,177
And don't forget you got to
constantly be aware of the fact
1051
00:41:21,179 --> 00:41:23,246
that somebody's going
to try and rape you,
1052
00:41:23,248 --> 00:41:25,014
or murder you, or just
1053
00:41:25,016 --> 00:41:28,684
the general unsanitary
conditions of the place.
1054
00:41:28,686 --> 00:41:32,121
(sobbing):
What have I done?
1055
00:41:32,123 --> 00:41:34,023
You committed murder, Camilla.
1056
00:41:34,025 --> 00:41:37,360
Now, I got to tell
Mimi's family.
1057
00:41:37,362 --> 00:41:39,996
That means you're going to have
to face them in court.
1058
00:41:39,998 --> 00:41:41,831
Come on...
1059
00:41:41,833 --> 00:41:44,367
it'd be a whole lot easier
and a whole lot less mess,
1060
00:41:44,369 --> 00:41:47,103
if you just take a swig
of whatever that was
1061
00:41:47,105 --> 00:41:49,472
that you made Mimi drink.
1062
00:41:49,474 --> 00:41:53,376
Why don't you shoot me, please?
1063
00:41:53,378 --> 00:41:56,846
After all the pain
you caused my family,
1064
00:41:56,847 --> 00:41:59,047
I don't owe you any favors.
1065
00:41:59,050 --> 00:42:02,619
Nah, you're going to have
to off yourself.
1066
00:42:02,621 --> 00:42:03,719
Go ahead.
1067
00:42:18,969 --> 00:42:20,570
(bottle clatters across floor)
1068
00:42:20,572 --> 00:42:21,737
(sobs, sniffles)
1069
00:42:21,739 --> 00:42:23,373
Rot in Hell.
1070
00:43:03,949 --> 00:43:04,947
Yeah.
