Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:00:02,170 --> 00:00:03,737
The Lyons are
hitting back on Empire.
2
00:00:03,771 --> 00:00:06,174
- May we rise.
- Like we always do.
3
00:00:06,207 --> 00:00:08,076
Catch all-new episodes
Wednesdays.
4
00:00:08,109 --> 00:00:10,211
And check out
our other Fox programs...
5
00:00:10,244 --> 00:00:13,081
Star, 9-1-1, and The Resident.
6
00:00:13,114 --> 00:00:14,215
That's a win-win.
7
00:00:14,248 --> 00:00:15,749
Only on Fox.
8
00:00:17,218 --> 00:00:20,154
- Previously on Empire...
- The new chief executive officer
9
00:00:20,188 --> 00:00:22,690
of Empire, Jeff Kingsley.
10
00:00:22,723 --> 00:00:24,168
It's not like you've taken
any real assignments
11
00:00:24,192 --> 00:00:26,427
since Jamal domesticated you.
12
00:00:26,460 --> 00:00:27,861
Gusto. Leave Quincy alone.
13
00:00:27,895 --> 00:00:30,264
I take Princess here
till I'm done with him.
14
00:00:33,601 --> 00:00:37,338
Jeff Kingsley is nothing
but a number cruncher.
15
00:00:37,371 --> 00:00:39,207
So step up with us, the Lyons,
16
00:00:39,240 --> 00:00:40,741
with our brand-new
management company.
17
00:00:40,774 --> 00:00:45,579
We are going to put you first
and your music first.
18
00:01:27,255 --> 00:01:30,558
Boy, get your ass down here!
19
00:01:31,925 --> 00:01:33,837
Mom, why are you screaming
so loud in the morning?
20
00:01:33,861 --> 00:01:36,164
Ooh, you better watch your tone.
21
00:01:36,197 --> 00:01:40,234
Look at this
"Lucious Lyon, broke."
22
00:01:40,268 --> 00:01:42,236
And this one
"Lyons with no pride."
23
00:01:42,270 --> 00:01:45,105
They ain't nothing but trolls,
all of them.
24
00:01:45,139 --> 00:01:46,674
Dad put all of our asses
on blast.
25
00:01:46,707 --> 00:01:48,742
I had a homeless person
trying to give me a dollar
26
00:01:48,776 --> 00:01:49,977
when we was leaving.
27
00:01:50,010 --> 00:01:51,912
My goodness.
Mom, can I have that?
28
00:01:51,945 --> 00:01:55,749
Y'all fix your faces and wait
for Dad to come back with Andre.
29
00:01:55,783 --> 00:01:59,320
You know what? You're right.
30
00:01:59,353 --> 00:02:01,755
Today is not the day
for doubters.
31
00:02:01,789 --> 00:02:05,959
Today is the day that
the Lyon family are reunited,
32
00:02:05,993 --> 00:02:08,829
- and we prove the haters wrong.
- Say it.
33
00:02:10,731 --> 00:02:13,201
Hey, Lucious. Where are you?
34
00:02:13,234 --> 00:02:14,535
What?
35
00:02:15,969 --> 00:02:17,037
What do you...?
36
00:02:17,070 --> 00:02:19,207
Okay, where the hell
is Andre, then?
37
00:02:28,349 --> 00:02:30,351
Stupid move, Lyon,
38
00:02:30,384 --> 00:02:32,320
losing it this close
to your release date.
39
00:02:32,353 --> 00:02:34,222
It's a few days. I'll live.
40
00:02:34,255 --> 00:02:36,690
A lot can happen to a man
in a few days.
41
00:02:36,724 --> 00:02:38,559
Especially down here.
42
00:02:55,409 --> 00:02:59,079
So, the bad news is Andre
ain't coming home for a bit.
43
00:02:59,112 --> 00:03:00,981
But the good news
is we don't have time
44
00:03:01,014 --> 00:03:02,516
to be sad about none of that.
45
00:03:02,550 --> 00:03:04,385
We got work to do.
46
00:03:04,418 --> 00:03:07,855
Now, the Empire that we knew
and love, that's dead.
47
00:03:07,888 --> 00:03:10,558
Now it's time for us
to build an entirely new Empire.
48
00:03:10,591 --> 00:03:14,094
Me and your mama, we found
some office space uptown.
49
00:03:14,127 --> 00:03:16,264
I'm meeting with
some money men later on.
50
00:03:16,297 --> 00:03:18,031
That's gonna shore up
our capital.
51
00:03:18,065 --> 00:03:20,734
And I'm gonna staff
this bitch from the ground up.
52
00:03:20,768 --> 00:03:23,337
See, if we build this company,
53
00:03:23,371 --> 00:03:25,205
then the artists
will come to us.
54
00:03:25,239 --> 00:03:26,374
And we would like to start
55
00:03:26,407 --> 00:03:27,917
with the first two artists
being you two.
56
00:03:27,941 --> 00:03:31,211
We would like for you to sign
with Lyon Family Management.
57
00:03:31,245 --> 00:03:33,113
I mean, you know I'm down,
but there's no way
58
00:03:33,146 --> 00:03:34,624
that Empire's gonna
let y'all just manage us
59
00:03:34,648 --> 00:03:36,884
while we're still
under contract to them.
60
00:03:36,917 --> 00:03:38,386
Well, go ahead.
61
00:03:39,887 --> 00:03:42,055
I've taken the liberty
to go through your contracts.
62
00:03:42,089 --> 00:03:44,692
I want you guys to read them
word for word.
63
00:03:44,725 --> 00:03:47,861
You'll notice
where I've highlighted
64
00:03:47,895 --> 00:03:50,298
individual clauses
that will allow us
65
00:03:50,331 --> 00:03:53,434
to break these contracts
without us being sued.
66
00:03:53,467 --> 00:03:55,936
They ain't gonna let us go
without a fight.
67
00:03:55,969 --> 00:03:57,771
Then we got to do
whatever it takes.
68
00:03:57,805 --> 00:03:59,540
Get busy doing it, 'cause we got
69
00:03:59,573 --> 00:04:01,575
contracts to break
and some money to make.
70
00:04:01,609 --> 00:04:04,144
- Bye, baby. I love you.
- Bye. Love you, too.
71
00:04:04,177 --> 00:04:06,614
Okay, y'all heard him.
72
00:04:15,523 --> 00:04:18,792
Now, how you gonna
come for me and miss?
73
00:04:18,826 --> 00:04:20,060
When you first got here,
74
00:04:20,093 --> 00:04:21,571
you thought you was so smart,
didn't you?
75
00:04:21,595 --> 00:04:25,098
You should've taken me out
when you had the chance.
76
00:04:27,601 --> 00:04:29,136
What the hell?!
77
00:04:29,169 --> 00:04:31,171
You've been eyeballing me
since you got here.
78
00:04:31,204 --> 00:04:32,682
Like you got something
you want to say.
79
00:04:32,706 --> 00:04:35,676
So how about I open your mouth,
so you can say it.
80
00:04:39,279 --> 00:04:42,583
Here's how it's gonna work
from here on out.
81
00:04:42,616 --> 00:04:45,252
I'm gonna go my way,
and you're gonna go yours.
82
00:04:45,285 --> 00:04:48,088
If you step to me,
I will end you.
83
00:04:48,121 --> 00:04:49,990
You understand me?
84
00:04:50,023 --> 00:04:53,193
- Yeah? Talk to me.
- Ooh.
85
00:04:53,226 --> 00:04:55,195
Little rich girl's
got a pair, y'all.
86
00:04:55,228 --> 00:04:58,298
- Do you understand me?!
- Boy, I understand!
87
00:05:08,075 --> 00:05:11,412
Yeah, my man surprised him.
88
00:05:15,416 --> 00:05:18,085
Literature.
89
00:05:50,117 --> 00:05:53,186
Come here, help me tie this.
90
00:05:55,623 --> 00:05:57,190
- I need help.
- Okay.
91
00:05:57,224 --> 00:05:59,192
See? All right. See?
92
00:06:04,532 --> 00:06:07,000
Yeah, Chief?
93
00:06:11,439 --> 00:06:13,340
When?
94
00:06:13,373 --> 00:06:15,543
Yeah. Emirates nonstop
would be my preference,
95
00:06:15,576 --> 00:06:20,914
but I know that, Bryson will
need a layover in, Paris.
96
00:06:20,948 --> 00:06:23,383
Send a car for me in an hour?
97
00:06:23,417 --> 00:06:25,318
All right.
98
00:06:28,055 --> 00:06:30,858
He needs me to cover
the Sub-Saharan desk.
99
00:06:30,891 --> 00:06:32,960
In Lagos.
100
00:06:34,995 --> 00:06:36,897
I thought that this
was a home desk job.
101
00:06:36,930 --> 00:06:38,398
Out of all the people around,
102
00:06:38,432 --> 00:06:40,209
they got to have you
dodging bullets in Nigeria?
103
00:06:40,233 --> 00:06:42,078
I've dodged bullets right here
in this very room,
104
00:06:42,102 --> 00:06:43,571
if you remember.
105
00:06:43,604 --> 00:06:45,105
I can handle myself.
106
00:06:45,138 --> 00:06:48,742
Yeah, you gonna
handle Bryson, too?
107
00:06:54,748 --> 00:06:57,217
Let's not do that.
108
00:06:57,250 --> 00:06:58,752
There.
109
00:06:58,786 --> 00:07:02,422
Your armor's in place;
Now I need to go pack mine.
110
00:07:08,195 --> 00:07:10,397
- I'll call you from Paris.
- Yeah.
111
00:07:17,705 --> 00:07:23,343
Do you expect for us to answer
the phones, collect the mail,
112
00:07:23,376 --> 00:07:27,481
wrangle up your little artists
and keep a schedule for free?
113
00:07:27,515 --> 00:07:32,753
Yes, because I want you all
in this from the ground floor.
114
00:07:32,786 --> 00:07:36,089
Okay, because this is gonna be
bigger than Empire. Trust me.
115
00:07:36,123 --> 00:07:39,126
And I want this built by family,
116
00:07:39,159 --> 00:07:43,196
with family tears, family blood,
family sweat...
117
00:07:43,230 --> 00:07:46,099
- And family reaping the back end?
- Amen.
118
00:07:46,133 --> 00:07:48,769
Of course. Come on.
119
00:07:48,802 --> 00:07:50,137
Holloway sisters united.
120
00:07:50,170 --> 00:07:51,839
- Okay. Yes.
- Um, look, church finger.
121
00:07:51,872 --> 00:07:55,643
I'm not a Holloway or a Lyon,
so 97% of this speech
122
00:07:55,676 --> 00:07:58,145
ain't got nothing to do
with why I should work for free.
123
00:07:58,178 --> 00:08:01,048
I need you to work A&R.
124
00:08:01,081 --> 00:08:02,816
Can I be head of A&R?
125
00:08:02,850 --> 00:08:06,053
Ain't nobody else in that
department, so yes, of course.
126
00:08:06,086 --> 00:08:07,487
Congratulations.
127
00:08:07,521 --> 00:08:09,489
Look at that.
Promotions already.
128
00:08:09,523 --> 00:08:12,560
That's a yes for Porsha.
What about you two heifers?
129
00:08:12,593 --> 00:08:14,061
I want a title.
130
00:08:14,094 --> 00:08:18,699
Your title
is "recovering crack ho."
131
00:08:18,732 --> 00:08:20,133
Ooh!
132
00:08:28,876 --> 00:08:32,212
Here. I brought you
Jamal and Hakeem's contracts.
133
00:08:34,915 --> 00:08:38,552
So first, Ludicrous the Lyon
hands me my ass in public,
134
00:08:38,586 --> 00:08:40,921
now his sons want out.
135
00:08:40,954 --> 00:08:42,255
Are you next?
136
00:08:42,289 --> 00:08:45,025
I haven't received
any realistic offers lately.
137
00:08:45,058 --> 00:08:46,694
I need you, Becky.
138
00:08:46,727 --> 00:08:48,596
I need allies around here.
139
00:08:48,629 --> 00:08:50,898
Right this way, please.
140
00:08:50,931 --> 00:08:53,233
Gentlemen, have a seat.
141
00:08:53,266 --> 00:08:56,570
- You up for a game?
- Nah, nah. Let's just get right to business, yeah?
142
00:08:56,604 --> 00:08:58,338
All right.
143
00:08:58,371 --> 00:09:01,775
Well, just because your father
cut ties with Empire
144
00:09:01,809 --> 00:09:04,177
- doesn't mean that you have to.
- No, I definitely think
145
00:09:04,211 --> 00:09:06,246
that all Lyons need
to make a clean break.
146
00:09:06,279 --> 00:09:08,749
Yeah, you see that physical
impairment clause on page 40?
147
00:09:08,782 --> 00:09:11,685
Who would've thought that
artists read the fine print?
148
00:09:11,719 --> 00:09:13,286
I will complete
all six unfinished songs
149
00:09:13,320 --> 00:09:15,923
on Empire's server,
and then I'm done, too.
150
00:09:15,956 --> 00:09:17,557
All just to help out your dad?
151
00:09:17,591 --> 00:09:19,927
Hey, yo, my dad
don't need no help.
152
00:09:19,960 --> 00:09:21,361
He's actually
right down the street,
153
00:09:21,394 --> 00:09:22,906
making things
better and better for us.
154
00:09:22,930 --> 00:09:25,098
This is about
our family sticking together.
155
00:09:25,132 --> 00:09:28,335
- That's what's important.
- Family?
156
00:09:30,570 --> 00:09:33,641
The three Lyon brothers used
to be the pillars of Empire.
157
00:09:33,674 --> 00:09:37,110
Now one of them's in jail,
and one of them
158
00:09:37,144 --> 00:09:39,246
is reduced to begging
for scraps on behalf
159
00:09:39,279 --> 00:09:40,580
of his daddy's little venture.
160
00:09:40,614 --> 00:09:43,050
And the third,
broken beyond repair.
161
00:09:43,083 --> 00:09:44,818
Who's this lame calling broken?
162
00:09:44,852 --> 00:09:46,053
Calm down.
163
00:09:46,086 --> 00:09:47,387
Calm down, little man,
164
00:09:47,420 --> 00:09:49,256
before you cough up
another lung.
165
00:09:49,289 --> 00:09:51,759
Your value is
in your back catalog.
166
00:09:51,792 --> 00:09:53,460
So this version of you
167
00:09:53,493 --> 00:09:55,896
is free to hit the bricks
if you want to.
168
00:09:55,929 --> 00:09:58,031
Go.
169
00:10:00,701 --> 00:10:02,469
And as for you, Jamal,
170
00:10:02,502 --> 00:10:06,674
the album that you owe Empire
must consist of new material,
171
00:10:06,707 --> 00:10:08,008
per your contract.
172
00:10:08,041 --> 00:10:10,911
Yeah. You'll never get one note.
173
00:10:10,944 --> 00:10:13,280
Then you'll never sing again.
174
00:10:13,313 --> 00:10:17,617
Because until I get my album,
your music belongs to me.
175
00:10:19,953 --> 00:10:22,489
Welcome to the offices
of Lyon Family Management.
176
00:10:22,522 --> 00:10:24,658
I'll invite you back
two nights from now
177
00:10:24,692 --> 00:10:26,493
to see it in its full glory.
178
00:10:26,526 --> 00:10:28,696
If you've looked over
the portfolio,
179
00:10:28,729 --> 00:10:30,798
you'll see that we can guarantee
180
00:10:30,831 --> 00:10:33,433
to triple your investment
in two years' time.
181
00:10:33,466 --> 00:10:35,435
That's a pretty bold claim.
182
00:10:35,468 --> 00:10:37,871
Well, you know, I've
been at this for 20 years, man.
183
00:10:37,905 --> 00:10:41,474
Well, your track record
isn't in artist management.
184
00:10:41,508 --> 00:10:45,713
And due to your well-publicized
financial state,
185
00:10:45,746 --> 00:10:48,048
- you're a credit risk.
- I'm a what?
186
00:10:48,081 --> 00:10:49,717
Look, we all respect Andre,
187
00:10:49,750 --> 00:10:51,885
but frankly
I'm glad he's not here.
188
00:10:51,919 --> 00:10:54,554
Associating with a known felon
is not a good look.
189
00:10:54,587 --> 00:10:57,324
Do you hear yourself, J?
You're a known felon.
190
00:10:57,357 --> 00:10:59,392
I mean, you just got
your ankle monitor off
191
00:10:59,426 --> 00:11:01,494
from your tax fraud case.
192
00:11:05,665 --> 00:11:08,235
Wow. I get it.
193
00:11:08,268 --> 00:11:10,037
So you can dust yourself off
194
00:11:10,070 --> 00:11:11,805
after a fall
and reinvent yourself,
195
00:11:11,839 --> 00:11:13,707
but people like me,
I got to stay in my lane.
196
00:11:13,741 --> 00:11:15,042
Is that what y'all are saying?
197
00:11:15,075 --> 00:11:16,352
You're taking this
the wrong way, okay?
198
00:11:16,376 --> 00:11:17,553
You need to calm down
for a second...
199
00:11:17,577 --> 00:11:19,546
No, no, no.
I don't need to calm down.
200
00:11:19,579 --> 00:11:22,082
We've been doing business
for 20 years.
201
00:11:22,115 --> 00:11:24,718
I've always been good on a loan.
202
00:11:24,752 --> 00:11:27,888
Now I've guaranteed y'all
three times your investment
203
00:11:27,921 --> 00:11:29,723
in two years.
204
00:11:29,757 --> 00:11:32,225
This is the part where you
either take it or leave it.
205
00:11:32,259 --> 00:11:34,427
We're gonna leave it, Lucious.
206
00:11:37,630 --> 00:11:42,202
J.J. Are you serious, man?
207
00:11:58,919 --> 00:12:00,387
So, Cookie, my guy has agreed
208
00:12:00,420 --> 00:12:01,721
to shoot the grand opening.
209
00:12:01,755 --> 00:12:03,623
All I need is a credit card
to reserve.
210
00:12:03,656 --> 00:12:05,959
Yeah, yeah.
Put-put a hold on all of that.
211
00:12:05,993 --> 00:12:08,862
Lucious didn't get the VC money.
212
00:12:08,896 --> 00:12:11,031
Hey, hey, hey.
213
00:12:11,064 --> 00:12:13,566
You okay?
214
00:12:13,600 --> 00:12:15,268
Yeah.
215
00:12:17,104 --> 00:12:19,539
It's just, you know,
Lucious and I,
216
00:12:19,572 --> 00:12:22,642
we got to rethink
some things money-wise.
217
00:12:22,675 --> 00:12:24,778
You know, this has
got to work for us,
218
00:12:24,812 --> 00:12:27,981
because if it doesn't, there is
no starting from square one.
219
00:12:28,015 --> 00:12:30,383
We are at zero.
220
00:12:30,417 --> 00:12:32,552
What else you gonna do, Cookie?
221
00:12:32,585 --> 00:12:34,554
Sell your kidneys?
222
00:12:34,587 --> 00:12:37,657
You've already given everything
for this man.
223
00:12:37,690 --> 00:12:39,326
Well, not everything.
224
00:12:39,359 --> 00:12:41,661
N-No.
225
00:12:41,694 --> 00:12:43,296
No, Cookie. No.
226
00:12:43,330 --> 00:12:45,732
Now, you told me if you ever
ask, I should shut you down.
227
00:12:45,765 --> 00:12:48,235
- Well, I didn't ask yet.
- Shut your ass up.
228
00:12:48,268 --> 00:12:50,337
And I told you
not to say nothing. She...
229
00:12:50,370 --> 00:12:55,075
Um, excuse me, but this little
secret sound juicy as hell.
230
00:12:55,108 --> 00:12:56,776
So you may as well spill it.
231
00:12:56,810 --> 00:12:59,279
I'm all up in it now.
What's happening?
232
00:13:01,648 --> 00:13:04,251
I got a loft in SoHo.
233
00:13:04,284 --> 00:13:07,487
And I got it when I thought
Lucious was gonna run off
234
00:13:07,520 --> 00:13:10,590
with that bitch Giuliana
and give her all my money.
235
00:13:10,623 --> 00:13:12,692
So I convinced her
to buy a loft.
236
00:13:12,725 --> 00:13:14,327
She needed a safety net,
237
00:13:14,361 --> 00:13:16,830
something separate
and apart from Lucious.
238
00:13:16,864 --> 00:13:20,033
And you promised that
you would never tell or sell.
239
00:13:20,067 --> 00:13:22,135
Yeah, well, one out of two
ain't bad.
240
00:13:22,169 --> 00:13:24,604
But Lucious, he doesn't know
about it, right?
241
00:13:24,637 --> 00:13:27,007
So why don't you just sell it?
242
00:13:27,040 --> 00:13:30,477
Move. I can't breathe.
243
00:13:30,510 --> 00:13:34,214
Look, a lot has happened
since I got that loft, okay?
244
00:13:34,247 --> 00:13:35,715
It's a safety net, right?
245
00:13:35,748 --> 00:13:39,419
A safety net is supposed
to catch you when you fall.
246
00:13:40,921 --> 00:13:42,923
And we've fallen.
247
00:13:44,091 --> 00:13:46,493
I need that damn money. Sell it.
248
00:14:05,045 --> 00:14:08,215
Lookee, lookee. Hey.
249
00:14:08,248 --> 00:14:09,849
Captain Ahab himself.
250
00:14:09,883 --> 00:14:12,852
Chased any white whales lately?
251
00:14:12,886 --> 00:14:16,189
Yeah, well, you know how it is.
252
00:14:16,223 --> 00:14:18,325
How you been, partner?
253
00:14:18,358 --> 00:14:19,726
Well, you know, I'm Gucci, baby.
254
00:14:19,759 --> 00:14:21,494
Now what brings you by?
255
00:14:21,528 --> 00:14:24,031
Seen a couple of my,
ads for the bus benches?
256
00:14:24,064 --> 00:14:26,233
Actually, I saw a bum
257
00:14:26,266 --> 00:14:28,936
wrap himself up with one of them
a couple days ago.
258
00:14:28,969 --> 00:14:30,603
You got jokes.
259
00:14:30,637 --> 00:14:33,073
I'll have you know, those ads
are doing me just fine.
260
00:14:33,106 --> 00:14:34,250
They made me the number three.
261
00:14:34,274 --> 00:14:36,543
Slip-and-Fall Guy
in all of Greenpoint
262
00:14:39,046 --> 00:14:40,713
So I'm doing fine.
263
00:14:40,747 --> 00:14:43,250
Well, how'd you like to come
back and be my number one
264
00:14:43,283 --> 00:14:47,187
in a new music venture that
we're doing with me and Cookie?
265
00:14:47,220 --> 00:14:49,056
You can bring
your client list, too,
266
00:14:49,089 --> 00:14:51,891
to invest in our new venture.
267
00:14:51,925 --> 00:14:53,626
We can all win.
268
00:14:55,095 --> 00:14:56,629
So let me get this straight.
269
00:14:56,663 --> 00:14:58,565
You don't call me
for, like, a year,
270
00:14:58,598 --> 00:15:01,368
and you think it's all right
you just drop by
271
00:15:01,401 --> 00:15:04,071
- and ask me for my client list?
- Look, man, um,
272
00:15:04,104 --> 00:15:05,738
it ain't never been
like that, Thirst.
273
00:15:05,772 --> 00:15:08,608
No? What's it like?
274
00:15:08,641 --> 00:15:10,710
You know how it was for us, man.
275
00:15:10,743 --> 00:15:14,581
We had our challenges
and, um... but Cookie and I,
276
00:15:14,614 --> 00:15:16,449
we-we're trying to put
the band back together.
277
00:15:16,483 --> 00:15:20,253
So, we would like
for you to help.
278
00:15:23,991 --> 00:15:27,060
I thought you'd be out slangin'
Henny, celebrating your freedom.
279
00:15:27,094 --> 00:15:29,062
So I'm supposed to be at a club
280
00:15:29,096 --> 00:15:31,098
'cause a chump
said I was a loser?
281
00:15:31,131 --> 00:15:33,066
I guess not.
282
00:15:33,100 --> 00:15:35,402
Here's the lyrics to prove it.
283
00:15:35,435 --> 00:15:38,605
I need you to help me with this.
284
00:15:39,939 --> 00:15:42,075
It's beautiful, Keem.
285
00:15:42,109 --> 00:15:45,178
It's dark as hell, but damn.
286
00:15:45,212 --> 00:15:49,082
For months, I could barely
breathe, let alone talk.
287
00:15:49,116 --> 00:15:51,084
But I be having
these crazy dreams
288
00:15:51,118 --> 00:15:52,952
I can't tell nobody about.
289
00:15:52,986 --> 00:15:55,255
But you put it all in here.
290
00:15:55,288 --> 00:15:59,026
There's more where that
came from, if you help me.
291
00:16:01,394 --> 00:16:03,363
What you standing there
for then, boy?
292
00:16:03,396 --> 00:16:05,665
Come on. Let's lay it down.
293
00:16:24,251 --> 00:16:27,187
It's about how
a group of numbers nerds
294
00:16:27,220 --> 00:16:29,489
crack an uncrackable system.
295
00:16:29,522 --> 00:16:33,293
A team of misfits save the day?
Now who's pushing fantasies?
296
00:16:33,326 --> 00:16:35,328
Well, you're smart.
That could be you.
297
00:16:35,362 --> 00:16:38,065
Like I have a future.
298
00:16:38,098 --> 00:16:41,634
You know, Quincy,
most people are who they are,
299
00:16:41,668 --> 00:16:43,703
not what they've done.
300
00:16:43,736 --> 00:16:45,705
Look, I didn't do anything.
301
00:16:47,340 --> 00:16:49,976
Old, white lady got jacked,
and two days later,
302
00:16:50,009 --> 00:16:52,345
the cops roll up
saying I match the description.
303
00:16:52,379 --> 00:16:54,013
How long?
304
00:16:54,047 --> 00:16:56,249
Five years.
305
00:16:56,283 --> 00:16:59,586
I missed my high school
graduation, so...
306
00:16:59,619 --> 00:17:03,156
I just pretend this is
the worst college ever.
307
00:17:03,190 --> 00:17:05,692
Keep my head down. Keep reading.
308
00:17:05,725 --> 00:17:07,394
You like economics, Quincy?
309
00:17:07,427 --> 00:17:11,164
- I'm a numbers guy, too.
- CFO of Empire.
310
00:17:11,198 --> 00:17:12,999
MBA from Wharton.
311
00:17:13,032 --> 00:17:17,704
Man, I was set up to go straight
there when I got locked up.
312
00:17:17,737 --> 00:17:20,607
Read the book.
313
00:17:31,251 --> 00:17:34,554
Come on, man. Show the beast.
One more time.
314
00:17:48,101 --> 00:17:51,304
Hey, yo, Mal,
I can't breathe, man.
315
00:17:51,338 --> 00:17:53,106
Just, you know, take a second.
All right?
316
00:17:53,140 --> 00:17:55,608
I just took a second!
317
00:17:57,944 --> 00:18:01,281
- Man, come on.
- No.
318
00:18:17,764 --> 00:18:19,132
What up, bro?
319
00:18:19,166 --> 00:18:20,767
What's up?
320
00:18:22,769 --> 00:18:24,637
Yeah, make yourself comfortable.
321
00:18:24,671 --> 00:18:27,307
When does it hit you that
you're living at home, bro?
322
00:18:27,340 --> 00:18:29,742
Like, do Lucious and Cookie,
like, send you to bed
323
00:18:29,776 --> 00:18:32,512
and, like, pack your lunch
in the morning?
324
00:18:32,545 --> 00:18:35,315
Shut up.
I want you to see something.
325
00:18:35,348 --> 00:18:37,150
I'm still finishing it up.
326
00:18:37,184 --> 00:18:40,487
If you want it, it's yours.
327
00:18:42,021 --> 00:18:44,056
It's a new song.
328
00:18:49,196 --> 00:18:52,199
- This is about the...
- The shooting.
329
00:18:52,232 --> 00:18:53,600
Why don't you just do it?
330
00:18:53,633 --> 00:18:57,170
Be honest with you,
I can't even breathe right.
331
00:18:57,204 --> 00:18:59,439
My lung all messed up.
332
00:18:59,472 --> 00:19:04,010
But that track right there,
the world need to hear it.
333
00:19:04,043 --> 00:19:06,479
And you went through it.
334
00:19:06,513 --> 00:19:08,981
I don't know what to say, Keem.
335
00:19:09,015 --> 00:19:11,651
I mean, this is incredible. I...
336
00:19:11,684 --> 00:19:13,720
Yeah.
337
00:19:13,753 --> 00:19:16,223
I'll do it.
338
00:19:16,256 --> 00:19:19,726
I'll do your words justice, bro,
I promise you.
339
00:19:39,879 --> 00:19:41,848
Hey, babe. How's Paris?
340
00:19:41,881 --> 00:19:43,416
Just a layover.
341
00:19:43,450 --> 00:19:46,719
Then we do a little piece
in rural Nigeria before Lagos.
342
00:19:46,753 --> 00:19:48,187
How's New York?
343
00:19:48,221 --> 00:19:51,658
Um, Kingsley is holding me
hostage at Empire.
344
00:19:51,691 --> 00:19:54,261
And I think that I killed
the last hope for Hakeem
345
00:19:54,294 --> 00:19:57,063
- to be back to normal.
- Sounds tough, my man.
346
00:19:57,096 --> 00:20:01,200
Come hang out with me
when I head to Mogadishu.
347
00:20:01,234 --> 00:20:05,405
That's what we're gonna do now?
348
00:20:05,438 --> 00:20:07,206
What?
349
00:20:07,240 --> 00:20:09,376
Act like the things I'm talking
about are unimportant
350
00:20:09,409 --> 00:20:11,744
because I'm not running off
chasing civil wars?
351
00:20:11,778 --> 00:20:14,381
I did not mean it like that.
352
00:20:14,414 --> 00:20:17,384
Is that what you think I did?
Run off?
353
00:20:17,417 --> 00:20:19,552
Well, yeah. I mean,
we were starting a life here,
354
00:20:19,586 --> 00:20:21,388
then the first little carrot
that gets dangled
355
00:20:21,421 --> 00:20:23,055
in front of you, you dip out.
356
00:20:23,089 --> 00:20:25,892
Is that what
you're gonna do now? Just...
357
00:20:25,925 --> 00:20:28,395
act like we're starting a life
when what we're really doing
358
00:20:28,428 --> 00:20:31,398
is just... is picking
back up your old one.
359
00:20:31,431 --> 00:20:34,033
That's not true. I told you
that my whole family needed me.
360
00:20:34,066 --> 00:20:35,802
That's why I agreed to stay,
361
00:20:35,835 --> 00:20:39,071
but I-I never said I'd give up
my career because you did.
362
00:20:41,574 --> 00:20:43,476
Bye, babe. Be safe.
363
00:20:53,185 --> 00:20:55,822
Hey! Baby boy? Excuse me! You
can't just walk in there.
364
00:20:55,855 --> 00:20:59,191
- Man, get your hands off of me.
- Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey.
365
00:21:00,993 --> 00:21:04,397
What kind of game
are you playing, man?
366
00:21:04,431 --> 00:21:08,067
You're upset about the place
367
00:21:08,100 --> 00:21:09,936
that you were
considering leasing?
368
00:21:09,969 --> 00:21:12,339
The place you stole
from under me.
369
00:21:12,372 --> 00:21:16,476
Well, I got some advice for you
Maybe you should tell Hakeem
370
00:21:16,509 --> 00:21:18,645
to stop blabbing your business
in the street.
371
00:21:18,678 --> 00:21:21,180
You know, why are you
so interested
372
00:21:21,213 --> 00:21:24,817
in my family, anyway?
373
00:21:24,851 --> 00:21:28,020
No, Lucious.
374
00:21:28,054 --> 00:21:31,257
You mistake me.
It's not personal.
375
00:21:31,290 --> 00:21:33,993
I was in a calculus final
my freshman year at Stanford.
376
00:21:34,026 --> 00:21:36,195
The kid next to me,
he breaks his pencil
377
00:21:36,228 --> 00:21:39,666
and asks me
if he can borrow one.
378
00:21:39,699 --> 00:21:41,834
I refused.
379
00:21:41,868 --> 00:21:43,470
If he finishes the test,
380
00:21:43,503 --> 00:21:46,172
he raises the curve
for all of us.
381
00:21:46,205 --> 00:21:49,676
So you think this is
just business?
382
00:21:49,709 --> 00:21:52,679
Look, Empire is growing.
383
00:21:52,712 --> 00:21:55,114
I need more space to record.
384
00:21:55,147 --> 00:21:58,050
Maybe Jamal can record the album
he owes me there.
385
00:21:58,084 --> 00:22:00,152
Look here.
386
00:22:00,186 --> 00:22:03,623
Stronger, hungrier,
more capable men
387
00:22:03,656 --> 00:22:05,124
have come for me.
388
00:22:05,157 --> 00:22:07,360
Every one of them has failed.
389
00:22:07,394 --> 00:22:10,162
Preventing you from starting
a rival venture...
390
00:22:10,196 --> 00:22:12,365
it's not a vendetta, Lucious.
391
00:22:12,399 --> 00:22:14,667
No.
392
00:22:14,701 --> 00:22:17,870
It's a business strategy.
393
00:22:17,904 --> 00:22:20,640
See, you got me mistaken.
394
00:22:20,673 --> 00:22:24,343
Where I come from, we don't play
black eyes and bloody noses,
395
00:22:24,377 --> 00:22:26,546
or schoolyard tits for tats.
396
00:22:26,579 --> 00:22:28,415
It's life or death.
397
00:22:28,448 --> 00:22:33,386
A strategy like yours can
make a man meet his maker.
398
00:22:35,221 --> 00:22:37,724
- I'll see you soon.
- Yeah.
399
00:22:37,757 --> 00:22:41,193
Touch me again.
400
00:22:50,603 --> 00:22:53,039
Where are we gonna have
this launch event?
401
00:22:53,072 --> 00:22:54,874
Could you sit down
before you give yourself
402
00:22:54,907 --> 00:22:57,043
- another heart attack?
- I don't think you get it.
403
00:22:57,076 --> 00:23:00,847
I have an event tomorrow
with nowhere to host it.
404
00:23:00,880 --> 00:23:03,282
Hey, what about using
your secret little condo?
405
00:23:03,315 --> 00:23:06,719
Shut your dumb ass up!
Well, can we?
406
00:23:06,753 --> 00:23:09,355
Y'all about to give me whiplash.
407
00:23:09,388 --> 00:23:12,291
First of all, it is not zoned
for commercial use.
408
00:23:12,324 --> 00:23:15,361
So what? So now we care
about some rules?
409
00:23:15,394 --> 00:23:18,631
And I have gotten three offers
since you told me to list it.
410
00:23:18,665 --> 00:23:22,034
- One of them, all cash.
- Get that cash offer.
411
00:23:22,068 --> 00:23:24,036
- Done.
- Yes.
412
00:23:27,006 --> 00:23:28,641
- Lucious.
- Hey.
413
00:23:28,675 --> 00:23:30,443
You didn't kill Jeff Kingsley,
did you?
414
00:23:30,477 --> 00:23:34,313
Not yet, but he's definitely
on my list.
415
00:23:34,346 --> 00:23:36,583
What's this gathering of
the witches of Eastwick for?
416
00:23:36,616 --> 00:23:39,719
- Please.
- Shut your bum-leg ass up.
417
00:23:39,752 --> 00:23:41,597
We are trying to figure out
where to have this party,
418
00:23:41,621 --> 00:23:43,756
since we've been
kicked to the curb.
419
00:23:43,790 --> 00:23:45,658
You got any bright ideas, nubby?
420
00:23:45,692 --> 00:23:48,327
To hell with the dumb stuff.
421
00:23:48,360 --> 00:23:51,397
Why don't we just build it
right here?
422
00:23:51,430 --> 00:23:53,132
In the house?
423
00:23:53,165 --> 00:23:56,836
I mean, this whole company
is about family,
424
00:23:56,869 --> 00:23:58,304
and we got the boys back.
425
00:23:58,337 --> 00:24:00,272
I talked to Thirsty.
I even talked to Becky,
426
00:24:00,306 --> 00:24:02,241
and Becky's talking about
coming back home.
427
00:24:02,274 --> 00:24:06,178
Let's build it
right here at home.
428
00:24:06,212 --> 00:24:08,447
Come on, bro, that's your
best idea? Breathe?
429
00:24:08,481 --> 00:24:10,449
- I can barely get one breath in.
- Okay.
430
00:24:10,483 --> 00:24:12,519
It's because your lyrics
don't allow you to.
431
00:24:12,552 --> 00:24:15,421
You know what I'm saying?
So why not add a breath?
432
00:24:15,454 --> 00:24:18,257
Add shorter lyrics,
more staccato.
433
00:24:18,290 --> 00:24:19,492
You want me to break my verse?
434
00:24:19,526 --> 00:24:21,160
I can't break my verse
like that.
435
00:24:21,193 --> 00:24:23,329
Okay, look, everything that
you wrote is beautiful.
436
00:24:23,362 --> 00:24:26,198
I love it, but you need to
sit that down for a second.
437
00:24:26,232 --> 00:24:28,267
'Cause all that does is
trigger PTSD.
438
00:24:28,300 --> 00:24:30,670
And, look, you know that I know
what I'm talking about.
439
00:24:30,703 --> 00:24:35,708
You got to change the tone,
up here and here.
440
00:24:35,742 --> 00:24:37,409
You feel me?
441
00:24:39,478 --> 00:24:41,013
Look.
442
00:24:43,082 --> 00:24:44,884
This right here is my track.
443
00:24:44,917 --> 00:24:47,386
My track, okay?
444
00:24:49,221 --> 00:24:50,999
I mean, I don't really know
what it's missing,
445
00:24:51,023 --> 00:24:53,660
but it's missing something, and
it might just be missing you.
446
00:24:53,693 --> 00:24:55,361
You know? Look.
447
00:24:55,394 --> 00:24:57,163
I'm no dark poet like you,
but...
448
00:24:57,196 --> 00:24:59,866
Come in
after the hook, 'cause, like...
449
00:25:17,850 --> 00:25:19,085
Mal, this might work.
450
00:25:19,118 --> 00:25:22,021
I don't see no cough, son.
Like, what-what?
451
00:25:43,576 --> 00:25:47,413
It ain't Carol's garage,
but I guess it'll have to do.
452
00:25:48,781 --> 00:25:51,550
Have to do. I love you.
453
00:25:56,555 --> 00:25:58,357
So, just so you know.
454
00:25:58,390 --> 00:26:01,360
And the woman by the shrimp
cocktails, that's Mabel Watkins,
455
00:26:01,393 --> 00:26:03,195
the Slip-and-Fall Queen.
456
00:26:03,229 --> 00:26:05,031
$3.5 million judgment
against the city.
457
00:26:05,064 --> 00:26:07,033
Never met a sidewalk
she didn't sue.
458
00:26:07,066 --> 00:26:08,567
The shrimp cocktail queen, too.
459
00:26:08,601 --> 00:26:09,812
She been over there
since she got here.
460
00:26:09,836 --> 00:26:11,137
- Stop it.
- Let her eat.
461
00:26:11,170 --> 00:26:13,139
She need to leave some
for the guests. We broke.
462
00:26:13,172 --> 00:26:16,876
The dude with the neck brace,
that's, Kenny Simon.
463
00:26:16,909 --> 00:26:20,713
He has a little workman's comp
situation, S&M.
464
00:26:20,747 --> 00:26:22,148
Worth about 1.4 million.
465
00:26:22,181 --> 00:26:24,450
Now, I told them they can
invest in your company,
466
00:26:24,483 --> 00:26:25,985
they came running.
467
00:26:26,018 --> 00:26:28,254
Tell them to walk,
'cause we don't have insurance.
468
00:26:28,287 --> 00:26:30,623
Hi. . Hey.
469
00:26:30,657 --> 00:26:32,458
Hey.
470
00:26:32,491 --> 00:26:34,560
- Hey. Hey, Becky.
- Hi.
471
00:26:34,593 --> 00:26:37,163
- Hey, you.
- Thank you for making it.
472
00:26:37,196 --> 00:26:42,001
Well, I didn't think I had a
choice; You called me 110 times.
473
00:26:44,036 --> 00:26:46,438
Well, okay.
474
00:26:48,007 --> 00:26:51,277
Well, first and foremost, I
would like to welcome everyone
475
00:26:51,310 --> 00:26:55,281
to the Lyon Family Management
first event.
476
00:26:55,314 --> 00:26:58,918
I couldn't imagine being
at a happier place
477
00:26:58,951 --> 00:27:01,153
than I am right here at home,
478
00:27:01,187 --> 00:27:03,355
because this is
where it all began.
479
00:27:03,389 --> 00:27:05,357
- Then...
- Wait. This is it?
480
00:27:05,391 --> 00:27:08,127
This is the whole company?
481
00:27:08,160 --> 00:27:10,596
I didn't come here
to invest in no living room.
482
00:27:10,629 --> 00:27:13,165
Excuse me, Weezy Jefferson.
483
00:27:13,199 --> 00:27:17,336
You've been, aggressive
with my shrimp cocktail,
484
00:27:17,369 --> 00:27:19,347
a little too much to waltz
your ass up out of here.
485
00:27:19,371 --> 00:27:22,208
So I'm gonna need you
to sit your ass down
486
00:27:22,241 --> 00:27:24,310
and let this man finish.
487
00:27:24,343 --> 00:27:25,945
And then go easy on the shrimp,
488
00:27:25,978 --> 00:27:28,480
'cause other people here
want to eat.
489
00:27:28,514 --> 00:27:30,149
Thank you, Cookie.
490
00:27:30,182 --> 00:27:33,720
Mrs. Watkins,
I'm sure you can understand
491
00:27:33,753 --> 00:27:36,188
the passion that my wife has.
492
00:27:36,222 --> 00:27:40,459
Our entire business started
in a living room just like this.
493
00:27:40,492 --> 00:27:41,961
Went on to take over
the streets,
494
00:27:41,994 --> 00:27:44,396
and next thing you know,
we took over the entire world.
495
00:27:44,430 --> 00:27:45,898
That's right.
496
00:27:45,932 --> 00:27:48,000
Now, a very wise woman once said
497
00:27:48,034 --> 00:27:52,471
that the greatest asset
that Empire had
498
00:27:52,504 --> 00:27:54,841
all had the last name Lyon.
499
00:27:56,008 --> 00:27:59,712
I want to demonstrate that.
Jamal.
500
00:27:59,746 --> 00:28:01,714
Actually, little brother
is gonna lead this one.
501
00:28:01,748 --> 00:28:05,017
Nah. Nah, man, no.
502
00:28:05,051 --> 00:28:06,819
It's fine. He's ready.
503
00:28:06,853 --> 00:28:08,821
You got it. Listen.
504
00:28:08,855 --> 00:28:10,656
You can do it. You can do it.
505
00:28:10,689 --> 00:28:12,158
He's fine.
506
00:28:12,191 --> 00:28:13,425
You can do it, baby.
507
00:28:13,459 --> 00:28:14,994
- Go ahead.
- Hey, look.
508
00:28:15,027 --> 00:28:17,529
It's just like we practiced.
You got this.
509
00:28:17,563 --> 00:28:19,198
- My lung, bro.
- You got it.
510
00:28:19,231 --> 00:28:21,500
Is he ready?
511
00:28:21,533 --> 00:28:23,035
Prince Hakeem.
512
00:28:24,703 --> 00:28:28,274
Come on, man. Kill it.
513
00:29:41,047 --> 00:29:44,951
- Yes! How you like that, Weezy?
- I'm loving it!
514
00:29:44,984 --> 00:29:46,819
Have all the shrimp you want.
515
00:29:50,489 --> 00:29:52,491
I told you.
516
00:29:52,524 --> 00:29:53,826
- Did we do that?
- We did that.
517
00:29:53,860 --> 00:29:55,995
We did that. Give it to me.
518
00:29:56,028 --> 00:29:57,463
We did that.
519
00:29:57,496 --> 00:29:59,698
Yes. But it's not what
those venture capitalists
520
00:29:59,731 --> 00:30:01,267
would've given us.
521
00:30:01,300 --> 00:30:03,469
- But it's okay, we'll take it.
- You know what?
522
00:30:03,502 --> 00:30:04,937
The hell with them
white boys, man.
523
00:30:04,971 --> 00:30:07,974
Them the same fools that
undervalued me in the beginning.
524
00:30:08,007 --> 00:30:12,011
Said I wouldn't sell one album.
I sold 100 million albums.
525
00:30:12,044 --> 00:30:14,981
They said that a man like me
couldn't run a company.
526
00:30:15,014 --> 00:30:17,116
Man, I ran my company
straight to Wall Street.
527
00:30:17,149 --> 00:30:18,617
Man, I built Empire.
528
00:30:18,650 --> 00:30:21,620
And I'm gonna do it again,
'cause that's what I do.
529
00:30:21,653 --> 00:30:24,056
That's what I do, baby.
530
00:30:24,090 --> 00:30:27,159
- We do.
- Well, you know what I meant.
531
00:30:27,193 --> 00:30:29,028
We did it.
532
00:30:29,061 --> 00:30:31,663
- We did it.
- Becky. Thanks for coming, Mama.
533
00:30:31,697 --> 00:30:33,665
- Yeah.
- You look amazing.
534
00:30:33,699 --> 00:30:35,367
We did it, baby.
535
00:30:35,401 --> 00:30:38,470
Okay, so I can't even be snarky.
536
00:30:38,504 --> 00:30:41,807
That was really amazing.
I'm really excited for you.
537
00:30:41,840 --> 00:30:44,510
Thank you.
Now, when you quitting?
538
00:30:44,543 --> 00:30:47,679
- Quit?
- Yeah. I need you here.
539
00:30:47,713 --> 00:30:49,481
You expect me to give up my job?
540
00:30:49,515 --> 00:30:52,151
Kingsley's about to promote me.
I'm not gonna quit.
541
00:30:52,184 --> 00:30:53,552
Kingsley's my enemy.
542
00:30:53,585 --> 00:30:57,389
How you gonna be loyal to me...
working with Kingsley?
543
00:30:57,423 --> 00:31:02,028
Loyalty is what, choosing you
over my career? Are you serious?
544
00:31:02,061 --> 00:31:04,897
You wouldn't even have a career
if it wasn't for me, Becky.
545
00:31:04,931 --> 00:31:08,935
Because you gave me one job,
just one job, an assistant job,
546
00:31:08,968 --> 00:31:11,170
and then you repeatedly
looked me over after that.
547
00:31:11,203 --> 00:31:13,672
Any promotion I got
had nothing to do with you.
548
00:31:13,705 --> 00:31:15,507
Am I supposed to have
undying loyalty for you?
549
00:31:15,541 --> 00:31:18,610
That's what loyalty is!
It's-it's unconditional!
550
00:31:18,644 --> 00:31:20,879
Undivided. Unswerving.
551
00:31:20,913 --> 00:31:22,915
It's ride or die, Becky.
If you don't know that,
552
00:31:22,949 --> 00:31:26,018
what the hell are you doing
in my house? Honestly.
553
00:31:26,052 --> 00:31:27,619
Leaving. Honestly.
554
00:31:27,653 --> 00:31:30,489
- Get the hell out my house. I don't need you.
- Bye.
555
00:31:40,299 --> 00:31:42,434
Are you okay?
Is something wrong, Cook?
556
00:31:43,569 --> 00:31:44,903
- You feeling all right?
- Yes.
557
00:31:44,937 --> 00:31:46,805
We need to take
your blood pressure.
558
00:31:46,838 --> 00:31:48,407
It's not like that.
559
00:31:48,440 --> 00:31:53,912
Candace, did the sale
to the condo go through yet?
560
00:31:53,946 --> 00:31:58,117
I haven't formally accepted.
Why?
561
00:31:58,150 --> 00:32:01,253
Well, I just, um,
562
00:32:01,287 --> 00:32:04,456
I-I don't think
it's a good time now, you know?
563
00:32:04,490 --> 00:32:06,892
I can put a pause in it.
564
00:32:06,925 --> 00:32:09,128
You want me to take it
off the market?
565
00:32:09,161 --> 00:32:12,098
Yeah. Yes.
566
00:32:12,131 --> 00:32:14,400
Yeah. Thanks.
567
00:32:14,433 --> 00:32:15,934
Why? Why are you doing this?
568
00:32:15,968 --> 00:32:18,080
Why are you changing your mind
about needing a safety net?
569
00:32:18,104 --> 00:32:20,306
What happened?
Did Lucious do something?
570
00:32:20,339 --> 00:32:24,010
No. Come on. You know
it's ride or die with us.
571
00:32:24,043 --> 00:32:26,678
It's just, you know,
I've been thinking,
572
00:32:26,712 --> 00:32:31,183
and it's what Candace always
says about real estate is that
573
00:32:31,217 --> 00:32:34,320
it always appreciates,
so I just think it's silly
574
00:32:34,353 --> 00:32:37,423
to sell it right now
with all that's going on.
575
00:32:37,456 --> 00:32:41,460
So... You know, you never know
what could happen.
576
00:32:41,493 --> 00:32:44,330
A.C. might go out again.
Why are y'all looking like that?
577
00:32:53,639 --> 00:32:55,807
I have fulfilled
my contractual obligation.
578
00:32:55,841 --> 00:32:58,477
You've outdone yourself
on this one.
579
00:32:58,510 --> 00:33:01,847
This'll be the lead single.
There's nine more just like it.
580
00:33:01,880 --> 00:33:03,982
Should we talk release dates?
581
00:33:04,016 --> 00:33:05,517
Yeah, but before we do that,
582
00:33:05,551 --> 00:33:07,786
you might want to call up
your accounting department.
583
00:33:07,819 --> 00:33:11,157
You're gonna have to cut
a lot of checks to my family.
584
00:33:11,190 --> 00:33:12,691
Every song on the album,
585
00:33:12,724 --> 00:33:14,869
including the one that you just
heard, samples a Lyon on it,
586
00:33:14,893 --> 00:33:17,996
so you'll have to cut
royalty checks for every sale,
587
00:33:18,030 --> 00:33:20,166
every performance,
every use, forever.
588
00:33:20,199 --> 00:33:23,402
Samples can be stripped out.
. Not mine.
589
00:33:23,435 --> 00:33:24,970
Check my contract.
590
00:33:25,003 --> 00:33:27,473
I have full creative control
over my music.
591
00:33:27,506 --> 00:33:31,510
So go ahead, release the album.
592
00:33:31,543 --> 00:33:33,679
Lyons gonna count our coins.
593
00:33:38,684 --> 00:33:40,319
Yes, sir?
594
00:33:40,352 --> 00:33:43,489
Linda, I need you to arrange
a visit for me.
595
00:33:43,522 --> 00:33:45,624
- Sure.
- To a correctional facility.
596
00:33:54,266 --> 00:33:56,102
Hey, Andre.
597
00:33:56,135 --> 00:33:58,070
You all right?
598
00:34:06,112 --> 00:34:08,046
Hey.
599
00:34:10,482 --> 00:34:13,619
You have to stay strong, baby.
600
00:34:13,652 --> 00:34:17,089
We're gonna get you out of here.
You understand?
601
00:34:17,123 --> 00:34:18,390
Yes, Mom.
602
00:34:18,424 --> 00:34:20,792
Yo, Quincy.
603
00:34:20,826 --> 00:34:22,628
- For the eye. Man.
- We're fine.
604
00:34:22,661 --> 00:34:25,063
- Thank you.
- Well, I'm not trying to cause no trouble,
605
00:34:25,097 --> 00:34:26,465
you know, I just want
to help him.
606
00:34:26,498 --> 00:34:29,000
Thank you. I'm talking
to my son now. Thank you.
607
00:34:34,173 --> 00:34:36,074
Don't you take a damn thing
from those people.
608
00:34:38,310 --> 00:34:39,811
How you doing, son?
609
00:34:39,845 --> 00:34:42,481
I'm holding up, Pop.
How are you?
610
00:34:42,514 --> 00:34:44,150
- You good?
- I'm good, but you know
611
00:34:44,183 --> 00:34:46,452
you gonna have to give me
something more than
612
00:34:46,485 --> 00:34:47,986
"I'm holding up, Pop."
613
00:34:48,019 --> 00:34:50,589
You know, your mama
wants a complete dossier.
614
00:34:50,622 --> 00:34:54,160
Tell Ma don't worry, you know,
I'm doing my time in peace.
615
00:34:54,193 --> 00:34:57,163
Yeah, it's hard,
though, man. We...
616
00:34:57,196 --> 00:34:59,965
I just... I feel responsible
617
00:34:59,998 --> 00:35:02,601
'cause I told you
to protect the family,
618
00:35:02,634 --> 00:35:04,970
- and it got you up in here.
- Pop, Pop, Pop.
619
00:35:05,003 --> 00:35:08,006
I don't blame you
for speaking truth, Pop.
620
00:35:08,039 --> 00:35:12,010
And, if anything, you know,
this place is good for me.
621
00:35:14,045 --> 00:35:15,281
Come again?
622
00:35:15,314 --> 00:35:17,949
- Explain that.
- Well, you sent me to Wharton
623
00:35:17,983 --> 00:35:20,118
to learn how
the business world operates.
624
00:35:21,520 --> 00:35:24,223
And now I'm here learning
how the street operates.
625
00:35:26,158 --> 00:35:30,028
With that combination,
I'll be unstoppable, Pop.
626
00:35:30,061 --> 00:35:34,300
See, I've learned to allow
people to underestimate me,
627
00:35:34,333 --> 00:35:36,768
think they got me boxed in.
628
00:35:36,802 --> 00:35:38,804
And that's the moment I strike.
629
00:35:38,837 --> 00:35:41,473
No warning, no threats.
630
00:35:41,507 --> 00:35:43,975
Pure annihilation.
631
00:35:49,581 --> 00:35:52,284
It's time.
632
00:35:52,318 --> 00:35:54,220
Get it done.
633
00:36:03,529 --> 00:36:06,031
Find someplace else
to look, boy.
634
00:36:07,699 --> 00:36:11,703
Who knows? Maybe you'll like it.
635
00:36:17,108 --> 00:36:18,244
Hold him up!
636
00:36:20,546 --> 00:36:22,180
Get him up, get him up.
637
00:36:41,867 --> 00:36:44,236
We got an
inmate down, D-Block rec room.
638
00:36:44,270 --> 00:36:45,871
Repeat, inmate down.
639
00:36:45,904 --> 00:36:48,874
Hey, what's going on out there?
640
00:36:51,076 --> 00:36:52,978
You want a souvenir?
641
00:37:03,489 --> 00:37:06,292
Give it to one of his apostles.
642
00:37:06,325 --> 00:37:10,161
Aw, you ain't no good.
643
00:37:15,000 --> 00:37:17,303
No! What have you done?!
644
00:37:43,094 --> 00:37:45,931
Hey, Jamal, I have, a couple
of my friends here with me,
645
00:37:45,964 --> 00:37:48,242
and they want to give you a
little performance. Y'all ready?
646
00:37:48,266 --> 00:37:51,403
Yeah, warm 'em up, warm 'em up.
You know it. There you go.
647
00:37:51,437 --> 00:37:53,605
All right. Enjoy.
648
00:37:53,639 --> 00:37:55,474
One, two, three, go.
649
00:38:13,859 --> 00:38:16,428
Kids, say hi to Jamal Lyon.
650
00:38:16,462 --> 00:38:18,930
Hi!
651
00:38:18,964 --> 00:38:21,199
Hi, everybody. I love you.
652
00:38:21,232 --> 00:38:23,835
So you just gonna take
all those beautiful children,
653
00:38:23,869 --> 00:38:25,504
try to get back on my good side?
654
00:38:27,973 --> 00:38:30,676
- Well, did it work?
- Course it did.
655
00:38:30,709 --> 00:38:33,645
One more week,
and I will be back by your side.
656
00:38:33,679 --> 00:38:36,815
Yeah, I'm-a hold you to that.
657
00:38:36,848 --> 00:38:39,651
One more time, guys.
One, two, three, four.
658
00:38:59,538 --> 00:39:00,839
Wow.
659
00:39:00,872 --> 00:39:04,643
- What's that?
- Hi. Nothing. It's nothing.
660
00:39:04,676 --> 00:39:06,912
Nothing?
Doesn't sound like nothing.
661
00:39:06,945 --> 00:39:08,647
Go play, baby.
662
00:39:08,680 --> 00:39:11,483
Stay close so I can see you.
663
00:39:11,517 --> 00:39:13,819
I really appreciate you
watching Prince.
664
00:39:13,852 --> 00:39:15,487
What are you working on?
665
00:39:15,521 --> 00:39:17,856
- Was it about the shooting?
- Yeah.
666
00:39:17,889 --> 00:39:21,092
- I could stop if it bothers you.
- No, no, come on.
667
00:39:21,126 --> 00:39:25,230
Come on. What you wrote,
that's how it felt.
668
00:39:27,599 --> 00:39:29,901
I still relive it every day,
you know.
669
00:39:29,935 --> 00:39:31,870
Me, too.
670
00:39:33,705 --> 00:39:35,841
If Hakeem could just put out
671
00:39:35,874 --> 00:39:38,710
his emotions on the page
like you did,
672
00:39:38,744 --> 00:39:41,046
maybe he wouldn't be so...
673
00:39:43,114 --> 00:39:44,983
I should go.
674
00:39:48,286 --> 00:39:50,255
Come over for dinner.
675
00:39:50,288 --> 00:39:51,957
What, you cooking?
676
00:39:51,990 --> 00:39:54,259
I have some prepared meals.
677
00:39:54,292 --> 00:39:57,295
- I can't cook to save my life.
- You know,
678
00:39:57,328 --> 00:39:59,565
- I could chef it up a little bit. Yeah.
- Really? Okay.
679
00:39:59,598 --> 00:40:02,801
Just don't let your mouth
write checks you can't cash.
680
00:40:02,834 --> 00:40:04,870
Come on, none of that.
I'm a good cook, for real.
681
00:40:04,903 --> 00:40:07,072
We'll see. Come on, baby.
682
00:40:07,105 --> 00:40:09,307
- You ready? 'Sup, little man?
- Ready?
683
00:40:09,340 --> 00:40:11,309
- Let's go get some dinner.
- Hey, Bella.
684
00:40:11,342 --> 00:40:14,813
'Sup, Bella?
All right, I'm following you.
685
00:40:14,846 --> 00:40:18,016
- All right. Okay.
- You got groceries, right?
686
00:40:27,325 --> 00:40:29,495
Wait here. I'll get the inmate.
687
00:40:29,528 --> 00:40:31,497
Much appreciated.
688
00:40:39,671 --> 00:40:41,807
You made it out
in one piece, Lyon.
689
00:40:41,840 --> 00:40:43,441
More than we can say for Gusto.
690
00:40:43,475 --> 00:40:45,644
I'm guessing that
the warden doesn't like
691
00:40:45,677 --> 00:40:49,581
that his number one suspect
has a rock solid alibi.
692
00:40:49,615 --> 00:40:52,317
I've got some packing to do.
I'm going home.
693
00:40:52,350 --> 00:40:55,721
Not yet. You got a visitor.
694
00:41:05,997 --> 00:41:09,434
You're Quincy's mom.
Um, I think they made a mistake.
695
00:41:09,467 --> 00:41:13,338
No, I...
I'm here to see you, Andre.
696
00:41:15,040 --> 00:41:16,675
I'm Teri.
697
00:41:25,851 --> 00:41:28,787
Hey.
698
00:41:28,820 --> 00:41:32,390
It kills me not to be able
to protect my son in there.
699
00:41:34,059 --> 00:41:36,628
I pray for him every day.
700
00:41:36,662 --> 00:41:39,497
And now, thank God,
701
00:41:39,531 --> 00:41:42,534
that bastard
can't hurt him anymore.
702
00:41:44,035 --> 00:41:45,671
Yeah, I heard that.
703
00:41:45,704 --> 00:41:51,076
He said you had your guys
handle this.
704
00:41:53,011 --> 00:41:54,980
Why'd you do that?
705
00:41:55,013 --> 00:41:58,750
I didn't say I did.
706
00:41:58,784 --> 00:42:01,286
I want to say thank you.
707
00:42:02,788 --> 00:42:06,725
You're a good, good man.
708
00:42:10,862 --> 00:42:13,031
I don't know about that.
709
00:42:13,064 --> 00:42:15,266
I do.
710
00:42:34,452 --> 00:42:37,422
I really appreciate
your agreeing to meet with me.
711
00:42:37,455 --> 00:42:40,626
I've denied most requests.
712
00:42:40,659 --> 00:42:42,861
Mostly they've been
from tabloid reporters
713
00:42:42,894 --> 00:42:46,031
who want to paint me as some
modern day Marquise de Merteuil.
714
00:42:46,064 --> 00:42:48,734
Les Liaisons dangereuses.
715
00:42:48,767 --> 00:42:50,468
Please.
716
00:42:50,501 --> 00:42:53,038
You are so much more
formidable than that.
717
00:42:58,476 --> 00:42:59,911
It's been a long time
718
00:42:59,945 --> 00:43:03,181
since a young handsome man
has tried to flatter me.
719
00:43:05,684 --> 00:43:07,452
You must want something.
720
00:43:07,485 --> 00:43:11,256
You know the expression, "The
enemy of my enemy is my friend"?
721
00:43:11,289 --> 00:43:14,726
Few people know
that that is actually
722
00:43:14,760 --> 00:43:16,795
an ancient Sanskrit proverb.
723
00:43:16,828 --> 00:43:19,330
From fourth century BCE.
724
00:43:22,500 --> 00:43:25,671
Let's just say I think we're
going to be very good friends.
725
00:44:06,244 --> 00:44:07,913

Now that Empire
has you all fired up,
727
00:44:11,216 --> 00:44:13,518
here are a few more shows
to check out from Fox.
728
00:44:15,854 --> 00:44:16,855
Buckle up, buttercup.
729
00:44:19,190 --> 00:44:21,526
It's real, and it pulls
people together.
730
00:44:28,734 --> 00:44:29,735
Touchdown!
731
00:44:42,580 --> 00:44:44,549
That sounds like fun.
