1
00:00:00,063 --> 00:00:02,727
- Previously on Empire...
- You got shot.
2
00:00:02,752 --> 00:00:05,101
Your PTSD is no less
significant than mine.
3
00:00:05,133 --> 00:00:06,397
If you need treatment, man...
4
00:00:06,422 --> 00:00:07,905
No, the only person that's killing you
5
00:00:07,930 --> 00:00:09,230
right now, Mal, is you.
6
00:00:09,255 --> 00:00:10,192
The one thing that ain't changed
7
00:00:10,217 --> 00:00:11,349
in the music business,
8
00:00:11,374 --> 00:00:13,664
it's artists that don't perform,
9
00:00:13,689 --> 00:00:14,785
they die.
10
00:00:14,810 --> 00:00:16,180
I got to meet Angelo's
11
00:00:16,205 --> 00:00:17,099
stuck-up mama.
12
00:00:17,123 --> 00:00:17,878
I think she just want to
13
00:00:17,903 --> 00:00:19,303
check out my black ass.
14
00:00:19,329 --> 00:00:21,346
Andre, I need you!
15
00:00:21,371 --> 00:00:22,913
Now I never ask you for nothin'.
16
00:00:22,938 --> 00:00:23,903
I can't stay, Nessa. I promised my mom
17
00:00:23,928 --> 00:00:25,705
I'd be there for her tonight.
18
00:00:25,730 --> 00:00:27,767
Andre, this is a special night for me.
19
00:00:27,791 --> 00:00:29,294
This means a lot to me.
20
00:00:29,319 --> 00:00:31,352
Are you coming in here to
thank me for helping yo' ass
21
00:00:31,377 --> 00:00:33,103
with Shine?
Because you know you still owe me
22
00:00:33,128 --> 00:00:33,785
for that, right?
23
00:00:33,809 --> 00:00:35,434
I see why Angelo is attracted
24
00:00:35,459 --> 00:00:37,626
to you. You got fire in you.
25
00:00:37,651 --> 00:00:41,375
You just make sure that
fire doesn't burn my child.

- Yes.
37

- I know who Tiana is, dear.
- Okay.
38
00:01:20,323 --> 00:01:21,791
- Mmm.
- But why is she prancing around
39
00:01:21,816 --> 00:01:23,030
with those tall, skinny girls?
40
00:01:23,055 --> 00:01:25,274
Well, that's because she's headlining
41
00:01:25,299 --> 00:01:27,981
the annual HVW Fashion Show.
42
00:01:28,006 --> 00:01:31,196
Yes, Helene Von Wyeth is
partnering with Empire.

00:01:31,221 --> 00:01:32,123

Yes, you know I am.
49
00:01:42,914 --> 00:01:44,776
Mom, can you please
50
00:01:44,801 --> 00:01:46,174
tell that fake A&R dude
51
00:01:46,199 --> 00:01:47,328
- do not come in Studio B
- Mm-mm.
52
00:01:47,353 --> 00:01:48,418

- Mm, mm, mm.
54
00:01:49,553 --> 00:01:51,177
Hey. Excusez moi.
55
00:01:51,202 --> 00:01:52,944
How are you, Mrs. Dubois?
56
00:01:52,969 --> 00:01:54,146
Oh, come here, Jamal.
57
00:01:54,171 --> 00:01:55,684
I would like to introduce you all
58
00:01:55,709 --> 00:01:57,603
to Helene Von Wyeth.
59
00:01:57,628 --> 00:01:59,644
Oh, but hold on to your weave, honey.
60
00:01:59,669 --> 00:02:01,724
The first time I met
her, I wore Givenchy,
61
00:02:01,749 --> 00:02:03,373
she asked if I was a Kardashian.
62
00:02:03,398 --> 00:02:04,221
What?
63
00:02:04,247 --> 00:02:05,242
Are you feeble-minded
64
00:02:05,267 --> 00:02:07,436
or is my eight-year-old
daughter actually
65
00:02:07,461 --> 00:02:09,485
smarter than you? How could one be
66
00:02:09,510 --> 00:02:10,677
so mor...
67
00:02:10,702 --> 00:02:12,218
Darling.
68
00:02:12,243 --> 00:02:14,955
- Hey...
- Darling, it's been too long.
69
00:02:14,980 --> 00:02:16,320
- Oh...
- Mm.
70
00:02:17,224 --> 00:02:18,384
So you know each other?
71
00:02:18,409 --> 00:02:21,103
Diana and I have sat on
many boards together.
72
00:02:21,128 --> 00:02:23,312
I missed you at the Barons Retreat.
73
00:02:23,337 --> 00:02:25,112
I was in Tangiers with my father.
74
00:02:25,137 --> 00:02:27,463
Speaking of which,
why haven't I received
75
00:02:27,489 --> 00:02:29,403
my invitation for the
Captain's Ball yet?
76
00:02:29,428 --> 00:02:31,461
Well, this year's ball's
gonna be a little different.
77
00:02:31,486 --> 00:02:33,489
It's gonna be a fundraiser for Angelo.
78
00:02:33,733 --> 00:02:35,714
In fact, Jamal...
79
00:02:35,739 --> 00:02:36,562
Yes.
80
00:02:36,587 --> 00:02:38,858
What are you doing on the
seventh of next month?
81
00:02:38,883 --> 00:02:39,529
Oh,
82
00:02:39,554 --> 00:02:40,803
that's a marvelous idea.
83
00:02:40,828 --> 00:02:43,116
A crossover artist who also
84
00:02:43,141 --> 00:02:45,097
speaks to your core constituency.
85
00:02:45,123 --> 00:02:46,979
♪ If you goin' all in ♪
86
00:02:47,004 --> 00:02:48,937
♪ Money where your mouth is ♪
87
00:02:49,794 --> 00:02:52,167
Mother, please.
All right, you're crossing the line.
88
00:02:52,192 --> 00:02:53,508
Cookie has too much
89
00:02:53,533 --> 00:02:54,777
on her plate as it is.
90
00:02:54,802 --> 00:02:56,513
Look, I understand that, uh,
91
00:02:56,538 --> 00:02:58,585
it's important for us
to get Angelo elected
92
00:02:58,610 --> 00:03:00,575
into office, I get that.
But why don't I give you,
93
00:03:00,600 --> 00:03:02,124
um, other choices
94
00:03:02,149 --> 00:03:03,328
- of Empire artists?
- That's a great idea.
95
00:03:03,352 --> 00:03:05,116
That song that you sang for your mother
96
00:03:05,141 --> 00:03:07,230
the other night at
dinner was everything.
97
00:03:07,255 --> 00:03:07,975
Thank you.
98
00:03:08,000 --> 00:03:10,862
I want you to write a
song for Angelo's campaign
99
00:03:10,887 --> 00:03:11,829
- and I want you
- Mama...
100
00:03:11,854 --> 00:03:13,595
to perform it at the Captain's Ball.
101
00:03:13,620 --> 00:03:16,155
Before we settle on Jamal,
102
00:03:16,243 --> 00:03:18,995
I would like to offer you a
list of other Empire artists...
103
00:03:19,020 --> 00:03:20,742
Settle?
104
00:03:20,767 --> 00:03:22,947
Whoa, hold on, Mom.
105
00:03:23,192 --> 00:03:25,013
I'd, I would be honored.
106
00:03:25,239 --> 00:03:27,540
- Thank you.
- Thank you.
107
00:03:27,801 --> 00:03:29,761
It's time, Mom.
108
00:03:29,984 --> 00:03:31,786
It's now or never.

110
00:03:44,272 --> 00:03:45,638
No.
111
00:03:46,361 --> 00:03:49,101
She said it, Rhonda, not Andre.
112
00:03:49,730 --> 00:03:51,997
She called me her family.
113
00:03:53,166 --> 00:03:54,383
She asked me...
114
00:03:54,408 --> 00:03:56,141
But does she know
115
00:03:56,166 --> 00:03:58,315
who you really are?
116
00:04:00,587 --> 00:04:03,339
Hey!
117
00:04:04,367 --> 00:04:06,347
Dre, it's just me.
118
00:04:06,889 --> 00:04:09,047
Nessa, you can't sneak
up on me like that.
119
00:04:12,105 --> 00:04:13,879
Are you okay, Dre?
120
00:04:13,904 --> 00:04:15,103
You were...
121
00:04:15,128 --> 00:04:17,079
talking in your sleep last night and...
122
00:04:17,104 --> 00:04:18,532
I'm fine. I'm fine, okay?
123
00:04:18,557 --> 00:04:20,150
I'm just...
124
00:04:20,854 --> 00:04:22,387
Nessa,
125
00:04:23,044 --> 00:04:25,432
there's something I
need you to think about.
126
00:04:25,678 --> 00:04:26,810
Yeah.
127
00:04:27,308 --> 00:04:28,917
My father and I just lined up
128
00:04:28,942 --> 00:04:30,742
a new round of funding
for Empire XStream.
129
00:04:30,767 --> 00:04:31,699
All right?
130
00:04:31,724 --> 00:04:34,199
Now, when that money hits...
131
00:04:35,159 --> 00:04:36,529
we need to have you positioned
132
00:04:36,554 --> 00:04:38,718
to take advantage of it.
133
00:04:38,743 --> 00:04:41,766
Let's, uh,
let's talk about what that's gonna mean.
134
00:04:47,630 --> 00:04:50,504
I see you haven't been
taking care of your nails.
135
00:04:50,772 --> 00:04:52,338
Well, that's 'cause you ain't been here
136
00:04:52,363 --> 00:04:54,159
to take care of 'em for me.
137
00:04:54,230 --> 00:04:55,500
I'm stuck in this house
138
00:04:55,525 --> 00:04:57,340
with these crazy females,
139
00:04:57,365 --> 00:04:59,556
messing up my sanctuary.
140
00:04:59,635 --> 00:05:02,021
Where you been, anyway?
141
00:05:02,046 --> 00:05:03,681
I'll take it from here, thanks.
142
00:05:03,959 --> 00:05:05,211
Ah...
143
00:05:05,236 --> 00:05:06,803
Can you give us a minute, Tiffany?
144
00:05:09,951 --> 00:05:12,021
You want to get your nails done?
145
00:05:12,090 --> 00:05:14,529
Nah, I'm more of a rub and tug type.
146
00:05:14,554 --> 00:05:16,325
Listen,
147
00:05:16,394 --> 00:05:17,994
so far, we got nothin'.
148
00:05:18,062 --> 00:05:19,039
All right, no disrespect,
149
00:05:19,097 --> 00:05:20,883
but your cornball half-brother
150
00:05:20,908 --> 00:05:22,126
lives like a monk.
151
00:05:22,151 --> 00:05:24,084
Okay, he doesn't gamble, no drugs,
152
00:05:24,324 --> 00:05:26,057
doesn't really drink, I mean,
153
00:05:26,082 --> 00:05:27,448
it's damn near insulting.
154
00:05:27,521 --> 00:05:30,059
I thought we had somebody on the inside.
155
00:05:30,175 --> 00:05:32,591
We do. I mean,
it took a little time and money,
156
00:05:32,616 --> 00:05:33,505
but she's there.
157
00:05:33,560 --> 00:05:35,257
It's just Agent Sweetwater
158
00:05:35,326 --> 00:05:36,992
isn't in the inner circle.
159
00:05:37,956 --> 00:05:40,639
She thinks Tariq is giving up on Shine
160
00:05:40,664 --> 00:05:42,631
and coming at you on something new.
161
00:05:42,656 --> 00:05:44,346
She just doesn't know what yet.
162
00:05:45,959 --> 00:05:49,212
All right, then we need
to invade his crib.
163
00:05:49,722 --> 00:05:52,307
Destabilize his ass.
164
00:05:52,344 --> 00:05:55,312
Yeah, how?
I mean, the boy's not on the down low,
165
00:05:55,337 --> 00:05:57,871
doesn't use hookers...
I mean, I can't find any vices.
166
00:05:57,896 --> 00:06:00,044
Everybody's got a weakness.
167
00:06:00,814 --> 00:06:02,595
Find it.
168
00:06:08,238 --> 00:06:10,371
This show is going to be fabulous.
169
00:06:10,449 --> 00:06:12,048
We are going to put a little bass in it,
170
00:06:12,073 --> 00:06:13,427
some black girl magic on it.
171
00:06:13,452 --> 00:06:15,497
I've seen Tiana with straight hair,
172
00:06:15,522 --> 00:06:18,003
I'd like her to wear it
like that for our show.
173
00:06:18,129 --> 00:06:19,134
We could.
174
00:06:19,159 --> 00:06:21,245
It's not up for discussion. Her...
175
00:06:21,270 --> 00:06:24,815
hair doesn't really go with the
aesthetic of the collection.
176
00:06:24,879 --> 00:06:27,825
It's all about sleekness
and geometry. And,
177
00:06:27,850 --> 00:06:30,846
I'm thinking about having her wear
178
00:06:30,871 --> 00:06:32,838
the final gown in the show.
179
00:06:32,906 --> 00:06:34,577
I think the others look
so gauche on her figure.
180
00:06:34,602 --> 00:06:36,054
That's, uh, too tight
181
00:06:36,079 --> 00:06:37,920
and it has a train.
182
00:06:37,945 --> 00:06:40,162
That's not gonna work
with her choreography.
183
00:06:40,188 --> 00:06:41,955
Well, I'm sure you can make it work.
184
00:06:41,980 --> 00:06:43,317
I mean, that is depending
185
00:06:43,342 --> 00:06:45,108
how important it is
for you to bring Empire
186
00:06:45,133 --> 00:06:46,432
into the mainstream.
187
00:06:46,770 --> 00:06:48,205
Isn't that what you're chasing
188
00:06:48,230 --> 00:06:49,533
with the Dubois family?
189
00:06:49,558 --> 00:06:50,211
Chasing?
190
00:06:50,235 --> 00:06:51,621
Oh, no, sweetie,
191
00:06:51,646 --> 00:06:52,422
you got it twisted.
192
00:06:52,447 --> 00:06:53,406
I didn't do the chasing there.
193
00:06:53,431 --> 00:06:55,036
Oh, I see.
194
00:06:55,061 --> 00:06:55,994
Well,
195
00:06:56,019 --> 00:06:58,049
nonetheless, I expect to be able
196
00:06:58,074 --> 00:07:00,374
to run a fine-tooth
comb through her hair
197
00:07:00,399 --> 00:07:01,768
by show time.
198
00:07:01,793 --> 00:07:03,501
I'll run a fine-tooth comb
199
00:07:03,526 --> 00:07:04,792
up yo' ass, how 'bout that?
200
00:07:04,817 --> 00:07:06,726
All right, think about what you want,
201
00:07:06,751 --> 00:07:07,783
and we'll talk to Cookie directly.
202
00:07:07,808 --> 00:07:08,940
Exclusive club dates,
203
00:07:08,965 --> 00:07:10,565

Empire's top artists?
204
00:07:10,590 --> 00:07:11,951

00:07:11,976 --> 00:07:14,138

Well, I was counting on you, Andre.
223
00:08:04,937 --> 00:08:06,958
Only son I have
224
00:08:06,983 --> 00:08:08,216
got something in common
225
00:08:08,241 --> 00:08:09,647
with Angelo's bougie-ass mama.
226
00:08:09,672 --> 00:08:10,492
But it's all good.
227
00:08:10,517 --> 00:08:11,410
No, it's not all good.
228
00:08:11,435 --> 00:08:13,130
Mama, it's not all good. Okay?
229
00:08:14,376 --> 00:08:15,514
I'm sorry.
230
00:08:15,539 --> 00:08:17,055
I should've been there for you, okay?
231
00:08:17,080 --> 00:08:17,913
If it makes a difference,
232
00:08:17,938 --> 00:08:19,209
I was doing the same
thing you were doing.
233
00:08:19,235 --> 00:08:20,342
What were you doing, Dre?
234
00:08:20,367 --> 00:08:21,941
I was meeting Nessa's family.
235
00:08:23,603 --> 00:08:26,376
It was the last thing
I ever expected, Ma.
236
00:08:26,401 --> 00:08:28,775
Oh, you really like her, huh, Dre?
237
00:08:30,020 --> 00:08:33,705
I-I didn't,
I didn't think that it was possible.
238
00:08:34,105 --> 00:08:36,873
I'm starting to imagine
myself actually starting over.
239
00:08:36,898 --> 00:08:37,849
Is-is that wrong?
240
00:08:37,874 --> 00:08:39,674
No, baby, no.
241
00:08:39,699 --> 00:08:42,597
I want that for you more
than I want it for myself.
242
00:08:42,622 --> 00:08:44,719
Whatever you need.
243
00:08:44,788 --> 00:08:46,278
You know what would be great?
244
00:08:46,303 --> 00:08:47,774
- What?
- Can Nessa
245
00:08:47,799 --> 00:08:50,849
shadow Tiana for this HVW Fashion Show?
246
00:08:50,874 --> 00:08:51,888
Mmm...
247
00:08:51,913 --> 00:08:53,383
She's new to all this, Mom.
248
00:08:53,408 --> 00:08:55,672
She could really learn a lot from Tiana.
249
00:08:56,477 --> 00:08:57,896
Okay.
250
00:08:59,412 --> 00:09:01,273
- Mom...
- You have Nessa
251
00:09:01,299 --> 00:09:04,021
come to Tiana's fitting, but she better
252
00:09:04,046 --> 00:09:06,405
come correct, 'cause that daggone Tiana,
253
00:09:06,430 --> 00:09:08,029
she is nervous about this performance.
254
00:09:08,054 --> 00:09:09,471
You won't even know she's there, Ma.
255
00:09:09,496 --> 00:09:10,418
I love you.
256
00:09:10,443 --> 00:09:11,788
I love you.
257
00:09:17,612 --> 00:09:20,312
Oh, good. You can hang
that right up there.
258
00:09:21,282 --> 00:09:22,627
How does Helene expect me
259
00:09:22,652 --> 00:09:25,121
to perform in that? And she wants me to
260
00:09:25,146 --> 00:09:26,990
straighten my hair, too. Like, for what?
261
00:09:27,015 --> 00:09:27,826
Child,
262
00:09:27,851 --> 00:09:30,097
you just do what they ask
you to do and get them...
263
00:09:30,122 --> 00:09:32,070
Why would I do it?
I'm Empire's biggest digital star, Ma.
264
00:09:32,095 --> 00:09:34,799
You know that. But you're not a
bigger crossover star than Tiana,
265
00:09:34,824 --> 00:09:36,961
and y'all fans love when
y'all perform together.
266
00:09:36,986 --> 00:09:37,918
Don't be like that, boy.
267
00:09:37,943 --> 00:09:39,079
What's going on?
268
00:09:39,104 --> 00:09:41,006
- Well...
- Hakeem is going to
269
00:09:41,031 --> 00:09:44,107
rerecord all of Gram's
tracks on your album.
270
00:09:44,132 --> 00:09:45,326
End of story.
271
00:09:45,351 --> 00:09:46,979
That's a good idea,
you want to know why?
272
00:09:47,004 --> 00:09:48,184
'Cause Black Twitter,
they gonna freak out,
273
00:09:48,209 --> 00:09:49,440
just like how they do
274
00:09:49,466 --> 00:09:50,968
when Rihanna and Drake in the same city.
275
00:09:51,223 --> 00:09:53,165
No. Hell no. You guys
276
00:09:53,191 --> 00:09:55,555
are not gonna try to use
me to resurrect his ass
277
00:09:55,580 --> 00:09:58,483
after he got dumped live
on his own channel, by her.
278
00:09:58,507 --> 00:09:59,762
Okay, excuse me, Nessa,
279
00:09:59,787 --> 00:10:00,871
can you give us a minute, please?
Yeah, yeah.
280
00:10:00,896 --> 00:10:02,129
Thank you.
281
00:10:03,765 --> 00:10:06,862
Tiana, Porsha is right for a change.
282
00:10:06,887 --> 00:10:09,004
Once y'all get together
and do your magic,
283
00:10:09,029 --> 00:10:10,692
everybody's gonna forget that nonsense
284
00:10:10,717 --> 00:10:12,173
he said about you, girl.
285
00:10:12,197 --> 00:10:13,788
You were slumming with
that clown, anyway.
286
00:10:13,813 --> 00:10:14,884
As opposed to you
287
00:10:14,909 --> 00:10:16,647
and all your little side pieces?
288
00:10:16,672 --> 00:10:18,382
Is there any B-list singer
289
00:10:18,407 --> 00:10:20,438
left in the game that
you haven't smashed?
290
00:10:20,463 --> 00:10:22,822
Maybe one of the "who"
models you been lezzing out with.
291
00:10:22,848 --> 00:10:24,287
You know, catching off-brand
rappers for fame, baby...
292
00:10:24,312 --> 00:10:25,326
Come on, y'all,
293
00:10:25,351 --> 00:10:26,135
cut it out!
294
00:10:26,160 --> 00:10:27,879
Well, I'm going to leave you to this
295
00:10:27,904 --> 00:10:30,805
while I go and do something
equally unpleasant.
296
00:10:30,830 --> 00:10:33,331
I've got to have tea over at Archibald's
297
00:10:33,356 --> 00:10:34,547
with Leah and Anika.
298
00:10:34,572 --> 00:10:37,193
Well, I hope the butter knife is dull.
299
00:10:47,078 --> 00:10:48,998
Dwight, where's my crusts?
300
00:10:49,144 --> 00:10:51,411
Make him bring my crusts back.
301
00:10:54,284 --> 00:10:56,271
Can you go in the kitchen
and see if somebody
302
00:10:56,296 --> 00:10:58,047
can get this woman some crusts?
303
00:10:58,072 --> 00:10:59,924
Right away. Thank you.
304
00:11:00,065 --> 00:11:02,013
Done.
305
00:11:02,727 --> 00:11:05,648
Now let's discuss how we're
all gonna live together
306
00:11:05,673 --> 00:11:07,033
under the same roof
307
00:11:07,058 --> 00:11:09,216
without killing each other.
308
00:11:09,410 --> 00:11:13,057
Well, I was supposed to
be Shine's head of A&R,
309
00:11:13,108 --> 00:11:14,879
so maybe that would have
gotten me out of the house
310
00:11:14,903 --> 00:11:16,998
and made all of this just a
little bit more tolerable.
311
00:11:17,023 --> 00:11:19,290
Well, that's not happening now that
312
00:11:19,315 --> 00:11:21,662
Andre and Nessa are together, so...
313
00:11:21,687 --> 00:11:24,077
So just keep her far away from me, okay?
314
00:11:24,102 --> 00:11:26,106
And I do mean far away, which means that
315
00:11:26,131 --> 00:11:27,568
you stay out of the nursery,
316
00:11:27,593 --> 00:11:28,748
stay out of my bathroom,
317
00:11:28,773 --> 00:11:30,306
and stay out of my dressing room, okay?
318
00:11:30,331 --> 00:11:32,513
Because I see you putting
on my ruby lipstick.
319
00:11:33,052 --> 00:11:36,096
What did I tell you
was gonna happen to you
320
00:11:36,121 --> 00:11:38,339
if you keep disrespecting
her boundaries?
321
00:11:38,364 --> 00:11:40,714
I'm not going back in that awful room
322
00:11:40,738 --> 00:11:42,671
that you locked me and Andre in!
323
00:11:42,696 --> 00:11:44,928
That dungeon where you starved me!
324
00:11:44,954 --> 00:11:46,505
Keep your voice down!
325
00:11:46,529 --> 00:11:48,689
You're hurting me. Let go!
I'm not gonna tell you...
326
00:11:48,714 --> 00:11:50,056
You're hurting me!
327
00:11:50,082 --> 00:11:51,015
Let go!
328
00:11:51,040 --> 00:11:52,624
Let go.
329
00:11:52,649 --> 00:11:53,877
I'm goin' in.
330
00:11:53,902 --> 00:11:55,789
Sir, sir.
331
00:11:55,814 --> 00:11:58,965
You're gonna blow our
whole surveillance detail.
332
00:11:58,990 --> 00:12:00,805
I've gotta get her out of that house,
Hughes.
333
00:12:00,830 --> 00:12:02,956
They hate each other.
It's an abusive situation.
334
00:12:02,982 --> 00:12:04,181
Well, if they hate each other so much,
335
00:12:04,206 --> 00:12:05,522
maybe there's a way to use that.
336
00:12:05,547 --> 00:12:07,705
Yeah. Turn her.
337
00:12:07,730 --> 00:12:09,019
I've thought about that.
338
00:12:09,221 --> 00:12:10,698
I don't know.
339
00:12:10,951 --> 00:12:12,551
She's an old woman.
340
00:12:12,576 --> 00:12:14,259
A mentally ill old woman.
341
00:12:14,442 --> 00:12:15,803
But hey...
342
00:12:15,828 --> 00:12:17,724
it'd serve Lucious right
343
00:12:17,749 --> 00:12:19,562
to turn his own mother against him.
344
00:12:30,093 --> 00:12:32,471
Like, seriously,
I can't do anything in this.
345
00:12:32,495 --> 00:12:34,835
I mean, it-it's long,
but I think it's cute.
346
00:12:34,860 --> 00:12:36,385
What you think? It's cute, right?
347
00:12:36,410 --> 00:12:37,744
- Mm-mm.
- No, you drunk. You don't know.
348
00:12:37,769 --> 00:12:39,335
You know what? I'm gonna
get the seamstress.
349
00:12:39,360 --> 00:12:40,564
I'll be right back. Hold on.
350
00:12:40,589 --> 00:12:42,044
Nessa, can you help me get out of this,
please?
351
00:12:42,069 --> 00:12:43,637
- Yeah. sure.
- Hey,
352
00:12:43,662 --> 00:12:45,483
can somebody get me
a seamstress, please?
353
00:12:45,508 --> 00:12:46,532
- I swear...
- I'm on it.
354
00:12:46,557 --> 00:12:48,064
Thank you.
355
00:12:49,199 --> 00:12:51,452
Okay, she on her way,
so don't even worry about it.
356
00:12:51,477 --> 00:12:53,544
You know what?
After we leave here, we gonna turn up.
357
00:12:53,569 --> 00:12:54,889
We gonna get you a little something,
358
00:12:54,914 --> 00:12:56,108
'cause you're a little uptight.
359
00:12:56,133 --> 00:12:58,355
But you don't understand
that this performance is big.
360
00:12:58,379 --> 00:13:00,366
Like, it needs to be perfect.
I hear you, but that's why
361
00:13:00,391 --> 00:13:02,395
I'm here.
You know, whatever you need help with,
362
00:13:02,420 --> 00:13:04,861
I got you, just chill.
Hold on, hold on, is something burning?
363
00:13:05,718 --> 00:13:07,917
Oh, Nessa!
364
00:13:07,942 --> 00:13:09,981
Oh, Nessa, what did you do?
365
00:13:10,006 --> 00:13:11,598
Oh, my God.
366
00:13:12,069 --> 00:13:13,402
Nessa!
367
00:13:13,427 --> 00:13:14,809
- I'm s...
- Really?
368
00:13:14,834 --> 00:13:16,147
- Oh, my...
- What did you do?
369
00:13:16,172 --> 00:13:18,206
It was an accident, Tiana.
370
00:13:18,231 --> 00:13:19,957
- I'm sorry, I'll get you another one.
- How?!
371
00:13:19,982 --> 00:13:22,216
This is couture. There isn't another!
372
00:13:22,426 --> 00:13:24,886
Well, just tell me what I need to do.
373
00:13:24,911 --> 00:13:26,742
What is wrong with you? Are you stupid?
374
00:13:26,767 --> 00:13:28,061
Are you stupid?
375
00:13:28,086 --> 00:13:30,620
Helene Von Wyeth will
destroy me for this!
376
00:13:30,645 --> 00:13:32,156
That bitch didn't even
want me in her stupid
377
00:13:32,181 --> 00:13:33,581
whitewashed show to begin with.
378
00:13:33,606 --> 00:13:35,750
The only reason she
teamed up with Empire
379
00:13:35,775 --> 00:13:37,374
is because she got dragged out for doing
380
00:13:37,399 --> 00:13:39,367
some wack-ass Out of Africa collection
381
00:13:39,392 --> 00:13:40,720
with no black people in it.
382
00:13:40,745 --> 00:13:42,930
Then homegirl tries to
shove me in this damn dress
383
00:13:42,955 --> 00:13:44,570
meant for some anorexic white chick.
384
00:13:44,594 --> 00:13:47,161
That skinny,
racist bitch can't handle my realness!
385
00:13:47,186 --> 00:13:48,689
And now she's gonna say I burned
386
00:13:48,714 --> 00:13:50,480
that raggedy-ass rag on purpose.
387
00:13:50,505 --> 00:13:52,744
- What is wrong with you?
- Okay, okay, Tiana, you know what?
388
00:13:52,769 --> 00:13:53,954
We gonna take care of this, a'ight?
389
00:13:53,979 --> 00:13:56,947
- You know what, Nessa, fix it, now!
- Yeah, yeah.
390
00:13:56,980 --> 00:13:58,713
I'm sorry.
391
00:14:16,809 --> 00:14:19,593
Yes, sign right here and right here.
392
00:14:23,142 --> 00:14:24,633
It's okay, it's okay.
393
00:14:24,658 --> 00:14:26,026
- What are you doing here?
- I'm not gonna hurt you.
394
00:14:26,051 --> 00:14:27,450
- Where's my doctor?
- Miss, Leah, I'm not here to hurt you.
395
00:14:27,475 --> 00:14:30,496
I'm not here to hurt you.
Miss Leah, I'm her to help you.
396
00:14:30,521 --> 00:14:33,519
Miss Leah, look, I know Lucious was...
397
00:14:33,544 --> 00:14:35,247
Dwight was trying to hurt you,
398
00:14:35,273 --> 00:14:37,842
and lock you away in a dungeon
and treat you like a prisoner.
399
00:14:37,867 --> 00:14:38,972
How do you know that?
400
00:14:38,997 --> 00:14:40,468
I have eyes and ears in a lot of places.
401
00:14:40,493 --> 00:14:43,221
I'm a lawman, remember?
I'm one of the good guys.
402
00:14:43,707 --> 00:14:47,429
Now, come on. Sit back down.
403
00:14:50,502 --> 00:14:53,012
I'm not gonna let
Dwight hurt you anymore.
404
00:14:54,606 --> 00:14:56,908
And I'm gonna make sure
you get out that house
405
00:14:56,933 --> 00:14:59,626
so you and Anika don't fight so much.
406
00:14:59,811 --> 00:15:03,796
That light bright wife
of his, she's evil.
407
00:15:04,083 --> 00:15:05,979
Dwight hates her.
408
00:15:06,240 --> 00:15:07,827
I know.
409
00:15:07,852 --> 00:15:09,580
And if you can help me prove it,
410
00:15:09,604 --> 00:15:12,235
we can make her go away.
411
00:15:15,940 --> 00:15:18,082
How in the hell did this
get on the Internet already?
412
00:15:18,107 --> 00:15:19,507
Are you stupid?
413
00:15:19,532 --> 00:15:21,666
Helene Von Wyeth will
destroy me for this!
414
00:15:21,691 --> 00:15:23,180
That bitch didn't even
want me in her stupid
415
00:15:23,249 --> 00:15:24,615
whitewashed show to begin with.
416
00:15:24,640 --> 00:15:26,907
The only reason she
teamed up with Empire
417
00:15:26,932 --> 00:15:28,346
is because she got dragged out for doing
418
00:15:28,371 --> 00:15:30,289
some wack-ass Out of Africa collection
419
00:15:30,314 --> 00:15:31,814
with no black people in it.
420
00:15:31,839 --> 00:15:33,339
Then homegirl...
421
00:15:33,364 --> 00:15:34,889
How could you let this happen?
422
00:15:34,914 --> 00:15:37,172
Wh... It was people walking in and out.
423
00:15:37,197 --> 00:15:38,863
I don't know who recorded this.
424
00:15:38,888 --> 00:15:40,521
And it ain't like she
said nothin' wrong.
425
00:15:40,546 --> 00:15:43,080
Nessa feels terrible, Mom, truly.
426
00:15:43,105 --> 00:15:45,976
Oh, well, that makes everything better.
427
00:15:46,001 --> 00:15:48,676
Don't nobody give a damn
about how Nessa feels!
428
00:15:48,764 --> 00:15:51,478
I gotta get ahold of Helene.
She's not answering my calls.
429
00:15:51,503 --> 00:15:53,185
I can't take this anymore, Cookie.
430
00:15:53,210 --> 00:15:55,875
First Gram, and now this.
They're calling me a diva.
431
00:15:55,900 --> 00:15:57,933
Look, Tiana, we will take care of this.
432
00:15:57,958 --> 00:16:01,603
HVW needs Empire just as much as
we need them, don't you worry.
433
00:16:01,628 --> 00:16:04,762
And it ain't no worse than
Kanye West going off on SNL,
434
00:16:04,787 --> 00:16:06,738
or that girl with the ponytail lickin'
on the doughnut.
435
00:16:06,763 --> 00:16:09,347
- I'm gonna need you to shut up.
- This is my fault, Mom.
436
00:16:09,372 --> 00:16:11,105
I should be the one to talk to Helene.
437
00:16:11,130 --> 00:16:13,821
I know how to give her cover
on the racial allegations.
438
00:16:13,846 --> 00:16:16,494
And I can make a really strong
case for working this out.
439
00:16:16,574 --> 00:16:18,557
Hell, I'll even sweeten
the streaming deal
440
00:16:18,582 --> 00:16:20,331
and throw in two more of Empire's points
441
00:16:20,356 --> 00:16:21,219
for broadcast rights.
442
00:16:21,244 --> 00:16:22,667
How about that?
443
00:16:23,012 --> 00:16:26,113
I like the way your
Wharton brain thinks.
444
00:16:26,973 --> 00:16:29,556
If you can make this go away for Tiana,
445
00:16:29,581 --> 00:16:32,092
I will forgive you
for missing my dinner.
446
00:16:32,832 --> 00:16:35,032
I promise.
447
00:16:43,838 --> 00:16:47,272
The performance is important,
and I gotta get through it.
448
00:16:47,297 --> 00:16:49,497
- What is all this?
- I'm glad you asked.
449
00:16:49,522 --> 00:16:51,942
Virtual reality is
the next new tech toy.
450
00:16:51,967 --> 00:16:53,676
And it's gaining its credence
451
00:16:53,701 --> 00:16:56,827
as a PTSD therapy treatment.
452
00:16:57,127 --> 00:16:59,924
So we're gonna use it to expose you
453
00:16:59,949 --> 00:17:01,937
to all the sights and sounds
that you were hit with
454
00:17:01,962 --> 00:17:04,429
leading up to the moments
before you were shot.
455
00:17:05,477 --> 00:17:08,328
I'll build up a tolerance, and...
456
00:17:08,856 --> 00:17:10,856
I'll be able to get back onstage, right?
457
00:17:10,881 --> 00:17:12,483
Exactly. That's the plan.
458
00:17:12,508 --> 00:17:14,398
Have you used VR glasses before?
459
00:17:14,423 --> 00:17:17,495
Hakeem had, like, the
very first headset.
460
00:17:17,520 --> 00:17:19,673
I used to kick those monsters' asses.
461
00:17:19,697 --> 00:17:20,847
Okay.
462
00:17:20,872 --> 00:17:22,767
Well, these are gonna put you onstage
463
00:17:22,792 --> 00:17:24,225
in front of an audience.
464
00:17:24,250 --> 00:17:25,916
So nice and slow, little by little,
465
00:17:25,941 --> 00:17:27,741
I'm gonna introduce your triggers,
466
00:17:27,766 --> 00:17:29,266
increasing the amount of people,
467
00:17:29,291 --> 00:17:30,303
the lights, and the sound,
468
00:17:30,328 --> 00:17:32,039
while I'm tracking
your physical responses
469
00:17:32,063 --> 00:17:33,759
to make sure I'm not
pushing you too fast.
470
00:17:33,784 --> 00:17:35,711
No, no, this is amazing.
471
00:17:36,204 --> 00:17:37,960
Okay.
472
00:17:39,003 --> 00:17:42,183
Start to play.
473
00:17:59,363 --> 00:18:01,796
Jamal! Jamal! Jamal!
474
00:18:08,256 --> 00:18:09,555
Um...
475
00:18:13,736 --> 00:18:15,703
So damn real.
476
00:18:15,728 --> 00:18:17,579
- Do you want to stop?
- No, no, no.
477
00:18:17,604 --> 00:18:20,199
Um... let's keep going.
478
00:18:20,224 --> 00:18:21,622
- Come on.
- Okay.
479
00:18:21,647 --> 00:18:24,236
- You're doing great. Just stay in it.
- All right.
480
00:18:25,748 --> 00:18:27,441
Okay.
481
00:18:28,307 --> 00:18:30,616
I'm gonna introduce the next stimulus.
482
00:18:43,543 --> 00:18:45,988
What in the hell you
got my son hooked up to?
483
00:18:48,244 --> 00:18:50,904
Jamal!
484
00:18:52,333 --> 00:18:55,116
Jamal,
what in the hell are y'all doin' here?
485
00:18:55,344 --> 00:18:56,698
What, you got electricity
486
00:18:56,723 --> 00:18:58,092
running through your nipples now?
487
00:18:58,117 --> 00:18:59,950
What is this about?
488
00:19:01,246 --> 00:19:02,745
What you doin' here?
489
00:19:02,770 --> 00:19:05,326
I hear you helping Angelo now?
490
00:19:06,227 --> 00:19:09,669
You're gonna do the
Dubois Captain's Ball?
491
00:19:09,694 --> 00:19:11,027
Is that right?
492
00:19:11,376 --> 00:19:13,392
That's a mighty big event, son.
493
00:19:13,417 --> 00:19:15,509
You sure you're ready
for something like that?
494
00:19:16,060 --> 00:19:17,726
Let me guess.
495
00:19:17,751 --> 00:19:20,477
You came all this way to make
sure that I couldn't do it.
496
00:19:20,773 --> 00:19:22,377
Wait a minute, I'm not the one
497
00:19:22,403 --> 00:19:23,602
trying to exploit you
498
00:19:23,627 --> 00:19:25,660
for my boyfriend's political gain.
499
00:19:25,685 --> 00:19:28,422
That's your mama. I'm in your corner.
500
00:19:28,446 --> 00:19:30,661
I've been telling you
you need to get your ass
501
00:19:30,686 --> 00:19:32,062
back on that stage.
502
00:19:32,373 --> 00:19:33,796
But that song you played
503
00:19:33,821 --> 00:19:35,231
the other day at your mama's house
504
00:19:35,256 --> 00:19:37,299
about me and her and all of that.
505
00:19:37,403 --> 00:19:40,112
I don't ever want to hear that again.
506
00:19:40,355 --> 00:19:42,158
And if you know what's right for you,
507
00:19:42,183 --> 00:19:43,782
you're gonna make sure you're 100%
508
00:19:43,807 --> 00:19:45,140
before you hop on that stage in front of
509
00:19:45,165 --> 00:19:46,764
all them hoity-toity people.
510
00:19:46,789 --> 00:19:48,066
'Cause if you fail again,
511
00:19:48,090 --> 00:19:50,225
that's one, two, three strikes,
512
00:19:50,251 --> 00:19:51,450
you're out.
513
00:19:51,475 --> 00:19:53,090
No more Empire.
514
00:19:53,114 --> 00:19:54,777
You're an independent artist.
515
00:19:55,286 --> 00:19:57,865
How's that for motivation?
516
00:20:00,296 --> 00:20:02,926
Write a song about that.
517
00:20:10,287 --> 00:20:11,787
Come on.
518
00:20:13,067 --> 00:20:14,606
Your vitals jumped through the roof
519
00:20:14,631 --> 00:20:15,367
the minute he walked in the door.
520
00:20:15,392 --> 00:20:16,977
Philip, I don't even know what
that means. Come on, let's just go.
521
00:20:17,002 --> 00:20:18,602
It means I've been throwing
everything at you...
522
00:20:18,627 --> 00:20:20,433
Lights, crowds, gunfire.
523
00:20:20,457 --> 00:20:22,296
I even threw images of
Freda Gatz in there.
524
00:20:22,321 --> 00:20:23,587
And you were handling all of that
525
00:20:23,612 --> 00:20:26,007
until he stepped in,
and you heard his voice.
526
00:20:26,086 --> 00:20:29,064
Lucious is your PTSD trigger.
527
00:20:29,526 --> 00:20:32,399
Man, Lucious is everybody's
damn PTSD trigger.
528
00:20:32,424 --> 00:20:33,007
You trippin'.
529
00:20:33,032 --> 00:20:33,999
Look, as long as he's not there,
530
00:20:34,024 --> 00:20:35,143
I'm gonna be fine. Let's go.
531
00:20:35,168 --> 00:20:38,119
No. You jumped in front of
a bullet to save the life
532
00:20:38,155 --> 00:20:39,417
of a man that's got you
all twisted up inside.
533
00:20:39,442 --> 00:20:40,193
He's my father.
534
00:20:40,218 --> 00:20:42,393
But everybody wants to talk about it.
All right, come on.
535
00:20:42,418 --> 00:20:44,584
You're gonna have to work
through this with him.
536
00:20:44,609 --> 00:20:47,277
Otherwise, you're never
gonna get back on that stage.
537
00:20:54,378 --> 00:20:57,312
It was one, stressed-out,
immature artist.
538
00:20:57,381 --> 00:20:58,775
We shouldn't let this
drive a wedge between
539
00:20:58,800 --> 00:21:00,429
our two companies, Helene.
540
00:21:00,454 --> 00:21:02,221
Do you know how many
black people I've employed
541
00:21:02,452 --> 00:21:04,753
during my lifetime?
542
00:21:04,821 --> 00:21:06,588
If I were...
543
00:21:06,657 --> 00:21:09,157
If I were a racist, would I let her play
544
00:21:09,182 --> 00:21:11,315
with Michael Strahan's girls?
545
00:21:11,387 --> 00:21:14,117
They've been swimming in my pool,
for God sakes.
546
00:21:14,142 --> 00:21:16,379
I'm telling you, the best way to
do damage control for your image
547
00:21:16,404 --> 00:21:19,351
would be to not break ties with Empire,
especially this late
548
00:21:19,376 --> 00:21:20,535
- in the game.
- Do you have any idea
549
00:21:20,560 --> 00:21:22,209
how mortifying this has been for me?
550
00:21:22,653 --> 00:21:26,166
All the girls in her
class idolize Tiana.
551
00:21:26,234 --> 00:21:28,263
♪ I got a body like a weapon ♪
552
00:21:28,290 --> 00:21:29,522
♪ It goes ba-ba-bang-bang ♪
553
00:21:29,547 --> 00:21:30,515
- Uh, yes.
- ♪ Bang, bang. ♪
554
00:21:30,540 --> 00:21:33,030
Charming. Enough of that.
555
00:21:33,085 --> 00:21:35,385
I don't blame you for
refusing to work with Tiana.
556
00:21:35,410 --> 00:21:37,245
I get it, okay?
557
00:21:37,812 --> 00:21:39,746
What about another Empire artist?
558
00:21:39,798 --> 00:21:42,712
Who? Tiana's a crossover artist.
559
00:21:42,785 --> 00:21:45,753
What if you were to choose
someone more definitively urban?
560
00:21:45,778 --> 00:21:48,111
Say, an up-and-coming soul singer.
Now, that...
561
00:21:48,136 --> 00:21:50,036
would make a very strong statement.
562
00:21:50,061 --> 00:21:52,630
An unknown? Who's more culturally aware.
563
00:21:52,791 --> 00:21:55,437
Come on, who's more black. Right?
564
00:21:56,086 --> 00:21:57,790
Veronica might be a little too old.
565
00:21:57,815 --> 00:21:59,462
Maybe somebody like, uh...
566
00:21:59,487 --> 00:22:01,082
Nessa Parker.
567
00:22:01,107 --> 00:22:03,107
Interesting.
568
00:22:04,774 --> 00:22:06,365
But no.
569
00:22:06,390 --> 00:22:09,383
I think we're gonna see if Ellie
Goulding is still available.
570
00:22:09,408 --> 00:22:11,455
No, she has the right look.
571
00:22:11,486 --> 00:22:13,453
You mean the white look.
572
00:22:13,768 --> 00:22:15,501
A preference
573
00:22:15,526 --> 00:22:17,687
is not a prejudice.
574
00:22:19,455 --> 00:22:22,607
You people expect change
to happen overnight.
575
00:22:22,632 --> 00:22:25,617
The HVW Fashion Show
576
00:22:25,642 --> 00:22:27,234
has always been associated
577
00:22:27,259 --> 00:22:29,058
with a certain level of class.
578
00:22:29,083 --> 00:22:30,148
That's all.
579
00:22:30,173 --> 00:22:31,666
I hear you.
580
00:22:33,206 --> 00:22:35,006
Loud and clear.
581
00:22:40,568 --> 00:22:42,563
You know,
582
00:22:42,615 --> 00:22:46,598
your daughter has such beautiful hair.
583
00:22:51,249 --> 00:22:53,416
I see why you love it.
584
00:22:53,460 --> 00:22:54,732
Hmm.
585
00:23:02,328 --> 00:23:03,461
Leah Walker?
586
00:23:03,486 --> 00:23:05,447
The doctor will see you now.
587
00:23:06,433 --> 00:23:09,441
It's a gynecologist.
588
00:23:19,401 --> 00:23:21,551
I did just like you said.
589
00:23:21,576 --> 00:23:24,232
I told Dwight I was having a procedure.
590
00:23:24,267 --> 00:23:27,412
Some kind of woman's thing.
He didn't ask no questions.
591
00:23:27,881 --> 00:23:29,735
We'll go out back.
592
00:23:34,215 --> 00:23:35,694
Dwight won't let me go anywhere
593
00:23:35,719 --> 00:23:38,119
without Frick and Frack
watching my every move.
594
00:23:38,144 --> 00:23:39,942
Yeah. They'll be
expecting you back soon.
595
00:23:39,967 --> 00:23:41,607
So, do you think you
can get into his office?
596
00:23:41,632 --> 00:23:43,318
Sodom and Gomorrah.
597
00:23:43,343 --> 00:23:46,358
They do dirty, nasty sex.
598
00:23:47,388 --> 00:23:50,311
You mean, uh,
Lucious and Anika are sleeping together.
599
00:23:50,336 --> 00:23:53,070
I don't know no husband and
wife that go at it like that.
600
00:23:53,177 --> 00:23:55,144
Certainly not my Joe.
601
00:23:55,292 --> 00:23:58,060
Maybe he did that with your mama,
'cause she was
602
00:23:58,085 --> 00:24:00,254
nasty like Anika.
603
00:24:03,266 --> 00:24:06,036
You remind me of him, you know.
604
00:24:08,979 --> 00:24:10,612
What was he like?
605
00:24:10,697 --> 00:24:12,097
My father?
606
00:24:12,254 --> 00:24:14,024
Joe Walker.
607
00:24:14,079 --> 00:24:16,969
I spent my whole life
wishing I'd known him.
608
00:24:34,813 --> 00:24:36,933
No... No!
609
00:24:36,958 --> 00:24:38,282
Mommy!
610
00:24:38,307 --> 00:24:40,814
What? What? What is going on?
611
00:24:40,839 --> 00:24:42,543
No! What...? God.
612
00:24:42,568 --> 00:24:43,655
Oh, my God!
613
00:24:43,680 --> 00:24:47,918
No! Stop! Oh, my God!
614
00:24:58,597 --> 00:25:00,798
So, you planned this whole thing,
615
00:25:00,823 --> 00:25:02,690
right from the jump.
616
00:25:02,918 --> 00:25:04,651
Is that right?
617
00:25:04,675 --> 00:25:06,723
Except you wasn't as smart
as you thought you was.
618
00:25:06,749 --> 00:25:09,629
See, there was a camera right where
Tiana said Nessa was standing.
619
00:25:09,654 --> 00:25:11,981
That skinny,
racist bitch can't handle my realness!
620
00:25:12,006 --> 00:25:13,406
And now she's gonna say I burned
621
00:25:13,431 --> 00:25:15,050
this raggedy-ass rag on purpose!
622
00:25:15,075 --> 00:25:17,309
What is wrong with you?
Congratulations, Nancy Drew.
623
00:25:17,334 --> 00:25:19,566
- So you admit it?
- What am I admitting?
624
00:25:19,623 --> 00:25:21,189
It's all right there on TMI.
625
00:25:21,214 --> 00:25:23,299
Tiana ran her pretty little mouth off,
626
00:25:23,324 --> 00:25:25,210
and screwed herself out
of a great opportunity.
627
00:25:25,235 --> 00:25:26,498
Ain't got nothing to do with me.
628
00:25:26,523 --> 00:25:27,834
Well, I hope you know I'm not promoting
629
00:25:27,859 --> 00:25:29,492
none of those records I did with Nessa.
630
00:25:29,517 --> 00:25:31,750
Oh, you bet your ass you will.
It's in the contract.
631
00:25:31,775 --> 00:25:33,834
You're not gonna get away with it, bro.
632
00:25:35,126 --> 00:25:37,642
Why you trying to fight me over Tiana?
633
00:25:37,842 --> 00:25:39,627
You feeling her again?
634
00:25:39,652 --> 00:25:42,069
After Nessa rejected you?
Your feelings hurt?
635
00:25:42,093 --> 00:25:44,306
Hurting, what?
636
00:25:44,331 --> 00:25:46,074
Get off!
637
00:25:46,099 --> 00:25:47,569
- Get off!
- I might get Tiana.
638
00:25:47,594 --> 00:25:48,790
Yeah, careful, baby brother,
639
00:25:48,815 --> 00:25:50,649
or I might have to get at Tiana, too.
640
00:25:52,534 --> 00:25:54,157
Mm.
641
00:25:57,688 --> 00:25:59,645
You gonna learn.
642
00:25:59,670 --> 00:26:01,978
Just wait, Dre.
643
00:26:03,831 --> 00:26:05,485
Been waitin', baby.
644
00:26:06,999 --> 00:26:08,832
Have a good day.
645
00:26:12,345 --> 00:26:14,614
I get it... about Tiana.
646
00:26:14,639 --> 00:26:16,421
It's a shame, but I get it.
647
00:26:16,584 --> 00:26:18,730
Now I have to find
someone else to put up
648
00:26:18,755 --> 00:26:21,704
on that stage that's a
seasoned performer, though.
649
00:26:21,729 --> 00:26:24,267
I'm thinking Veronica, or maybe, um...
650
00:26:24,292 --> 00:26:26,899
I think we should go with Nessa Parker.
651
00:26:27,622 --> 00:26:29,388
How do you even know Nessa? Oh,
652
00:26:29,413 --> 00:26:31,026
Nessa has a fresh face,
653
00:26:31,051 --> 00:26:33,861
and she's an authentic soul singer.
654
00:26:33,977 --> 00:26:36,144
And I think it sends the right message.
655
00:26:36,407 --> 00:26:39,875
Especially after Tiana's
offensive tirade.
656
00:26:39,900 --> 00:26:41,599
So, you don't want to...
657
00:26:41,624 --> 00:26:43,145
straighten her hair?
658
00:26:43,170 --> 00:26:44,536
Absolutely not.
659
00:26:44,561 --> 00:26:46,224
No. I think we go with...
660
00:26:46,248 --> 00:26:48,048
Now, how did you put it, um...?
661
00:26:48,073 --> 00:26:50,532
Drop some bass tonight.
662
00:26:50,558 --> 00:26:54,072

Playing Creed.
724
00:29:20,575 --> 00:29:22,709
Listen, T.
725
00:29:22,734 --> 00:29:24,857
We're Empire's original power couple.
726
00:29:24,882 --> 00:29:27,720
Not Andre and that bobblehead.
727
00:29:28,566 --> 00:29:31,454
We'll get back at the both of them.
728
00:29:31,479 --> 00:29:32,478
I promise.
729
00:29:46,705 --> 00:29:48,729
Uh, what are you doing?
730
00:29:48,754 --> 00:29:50,554
I got a daughter now.
731
00:29:50,579 --> 00:29:52,913
I got to practice.
732
00:29:56,290 --> 00:29:59,412
You and Jamal bring energy like
that to the Captain's Ball,
733
00:29:59,437 --> 00:30:01,811
they'll be calling me
His Honor in no time.
734
00:30:01,836 --> 00:30:03,169
Yeah. Well, Jamal is geeked
735
00:30:03,194 --> 00:30:05,075
'cause he has something
really big planned.
736
00:30:05,101 --> 00:30:07,316
- That was amazing.
- Like that?
737
00:30:07,341 --> 00:30:09,141
Good to see you. Good
to see you, darling.
738
00:30:09,166 --> 00:30:12,065
Helene. This show gets
better every year.
739
00:30:12,090 --> 00:30:13,761
And this Empire collaboration
740
00:30:13,786 --> 00:30:15,189
is a stroke of genius.
741
00:30:15,214 --> 00:30:16,708
Get away from them while you can.
742
00:30:16,733 --> 00:30:19,124
Helene, you're shaking.
743
00:30:19,149 --> 00:30:21,373
The music, the violent lyrics.
744
00:30:21,398 --> 00:30:22,937
It's not just for show, Diana.
745
00:30:22,962 --> 00:30:25,976
The Lyons are actual gangsters.
746
00:30:26,001 --> 00:30:28,404
You cannot have Angelo
associate with them.
747
00:30:29,582 --> 00:30:30,787
Excuse me.
748
00:30:30,812 --> 00:30:33,363
Yes, darling. I see you. Yes...
749
00:30:43,435 --> 00:30:45,121
- 'Sup, Dre?
- Drink up?
750
00:30:45,146 --> 00:30:46,930
Sure.
751
00:30:47,487 --> 00:30:49,454
I got to give it to you. Thank you.
752
00:30:49,479 --> 00:30:53,181
You didn't leave anything on
that stage tonight, young lady.
753
00:30:53,250 --> 00:30:55,249
Thank you. This was just the beginning.
754
00:30:55,274 --> 00:30:56,895
Yeah. I'm starting to get that feeling.
755
00:30:56,920 --> 00:30:59,116
Can you excuse us for a second?
756
00:30:59,141 --> 00:31:00,807
I need to talk to your manager.
757
00:31:00,832 --> 00:31:02,866
Yes. We need to talk
758
00:31:02,891 --> 00:31:03,746
about your next steps.
759
00:31:03,770 --> 00:31:05,037
Of course. Yes.
760
00:31:05,062 --> 00:31:07,101
Be proud.
761
00:31:09,613 --> 00:31:13,316
Andre, I am all for you
getting on with your life.
762
00:31:13,341 --> 00:31:15,614
But what you did to Tiana ain't cool.
763
00:31:15,639 --> 00:31:17,219
What does it matter?
764
00:31:17,244 --> 00:31:19,242
- I saved the day for Empire...
- It matters
765
00:31:19,267 --> 00:31:20,599
that you lied to me.
766
00:31:20,624 --> 00:31:22,657
And it matters
767
00:31:22,682 --> 00:31:24,831
that you're changing some way
768
00:31:24,856 --> 00:31:27,104
- that I'm not sure I got a handle on.
- Hey.
769
00:31:27,129 --> 00:31:29,453
I am up, okay?
770
00:31:29,478 --> 00:31:31,811
I'm awake. I'm blessed.
771
00:31:31,836 --> 00:31:33,521
That's all. Okay?
772
00:31:52,625 --> 00:31:54,925
What do you think you're doing?
773
00:31:54,994 --> 00:31:56,900
Redecorating.
774
00:31:57,037 --> 00:32:01,475
I mean,
isn't that what the good housewives do?
775
00:32:01,500 --> 00:32:03,138
You know, the ones who don't have jobs?
776
00:32:03,163 --> 00:32:05,630
I'm not in the mood for this right now!
777
00:32:05,735 --> 00:32:07,805
You keep breaking stuff, I'm-a whup...
778
00:32:07,830 --> 00:32:10,036
That cost me $200,000
779
00:32:10,061 --> 00:32:10,963
at auction.
780
00:32:10,988 --> 00:32:13,355
- Put it back.
- Okay.
781
00:32:15,920 --> 00:32:17,225
Oops.
782
00:32:17,250 --> 00:32:18,286
Next thing you break,
783
00:32:18,311 --> 00:32:20,120
I'm-a clean up this floor with your ass.
784
00:32:20,145 --> 00:32:23,334
You knew that I wanted
that job, Lucious.
785
00:32:23,359 --> 00:32:25,390
Okay, I will talk to Shine, okay?
786
00:32:25,415 --> 00:32:27,445
- Why should I trust you?
- Ah...
787
00:32:27,470 --> 00:32:29,381
All right, that's your ass.
788
00:32:29,407 --> 00:32:31,573
Will you talk to Shine, Lucious?
789
00:32:32,069 --> 00:32:36,793
Because I am so tired
790
00:32:36,818 --> 00:32:39,305
of saving your ass.
791
00:32:41,195 --> 00:32:44,764
When are you going to
save mine, Lucious?
792
00:32:45,185 --> 00:32:46,565
Look,
793
00:32:46,589 --> 00:32:49,728
that is a Jack Kennedy decanter.
794
00:32:49,754 --> 00:32:50,985
Put it down, please.
795
00:32:51,010 --> 00:32:52,189
Please don't break it.
796
00:32:52,214 --> 00:32:54,379
Just place it back on the table.
797
00:32:54,404 --> 00:32:56,932
No!
798
00:32:56,957 --> 00:32:59,812
Okay. Okay, that-that's
a gift from a diva.
799
00:32:59,837 --> 00:33:00,700
Put it down.
800
00:33:00,725 --> 00:33:02,532
What are you gonna give me, Lucious?
801
00:33:02,557 --> 00:33:04,350
Look, I'll give you whatever you want.
802
00:33:04,375 --> 00:33:05,829
Whatever.
803
00:33:05,853 --> 00:33:07,285
Whatever I want?
804
00:33:07,428 --> 00:33:09,044
Promise?
805
00:33:09,113 --> 00:33:11,747
Will you promise you'll
get me what I want?
806
00:33:11,772 --> 00:33:13,705
Anything.
807
00:33:14,652 --> 00:33:17,219
I want it in writing.
808
00:33:17,244 --> 00:33:19,893
Okay, whatever. Whatever you need.
809
00:33:19,918 --> 00:33:22,135
In... writing.
810
00:33:22,160 --> 00:33:23,960
Done.
811
00:33:25,553 --> 00:33:27,370
Ah...
812
00:33:27,395 --> 00:33:29,528
I like you like this.
813
00:33:29,553 --> 00:33:30,900
Whatever you want.
814
00:33:32,260 --> 00:33:33,973
Oh, you want to be in charge.
815
00:33:33,998 --> 00:33:36,398
Mm-hmm. I remember this.
816
00:33:36,423 --> 00:33:38,885
Beautiful.
817
00:33:40,926 --> 00:33:42,859
I like that.
818
00:33:42,884 --> 00:33:43,980
I like sliding down
819
00:33:44,005 --> 00:33:45,853
nice and soft.
820
00:33:45,878 --> 00:33:47,989
I know what you like, doll.
821
00:33:54,966 --> 00:33:57,358
Yeah...
822
00:33:57,383 --> 00:34:00,189
Ah...
823
00:34:03,593 --> 00:34:05,422
Stop it!
824
00:34:05,447 --> 00:34:07,822
Sodom and Gomorrah!
825
00:34:07,846 --> 00:34:09,786
Stop it right now!
826
00:34:11,017 --> 00:34:14,901
Y'all humpin' on the
table like yard dogs!
827
00:34:14,926 --> 00:34:16,559
That's where I eat!
828
00:34:18,509 --> 00:34:19,971
I was just about to have a snack.
829
00:34:23,150 --> 00:34:25,557
Don't you go nowhere.
830
00:34:28,826 --> 00:34:30,245
Mama?
831
00:34:31,798 --> 00:34:33,798
I want to talk to you
832
00:34:33,823 --> 00:34:37,388
about this doctor place you been at.
833
00:34:40,159 --> 00:34:41,325
Come on.
834
00:34:41,350 --> 00:34:42,885
Meet me in the study.
835
00:35:04,471 --> 00:35:07,398
I did just like you told me to, Dwight.
836
00:35:07,423 --> 00:35:09,456
And I got Tariq
837
00:35:09,481 --> 00:35:11,608
to buy me three ice cream cones.
838
00:35:11,633 --> 00:35:12,855
Sucker.
839
00:35:15,423 --> 00:35:18,718
That little performance of
yours over at Archibald?
840
00:35:18,967 --> 00:35:20,493
That was genius.
841
00:35:21,590 --> 00:35:23,621
Lola Falana in Lady Cocoa
842
00:35:23,647 --> 00:35:24,958
ain't got nothing on me.
843
00:35:26,623 --> 00:35:28,223
So tell me, Mama,
844
00:35:28,248 --> 00:35:32,148
did he ask any questions about me?
845
00:35:32,173 --> 00:35:33,606
Of course he did.
846
00:35:33,849 --> 00:35:36,274
But I just told him what we planned.
847
00:35:36,436 --> 00:35:37,778
And I got him talking
848
00:35:37,803 --> 00:35:39,368
about the old days instead.
849
00:35:39,393 --> 00:35:42,528
- That was really, really smart, Ma.
- Mm.
850
00:35:43,332 --> 00:35:46,284
Did he tell you why he...
851
00:35:46,633 --> 00:35:48,632
hates me so much?
852
00:35:48,657 --> 00:35:50,703
It's all 'cause of Joe.
853
00:35:51,604 --> 00:35:52,984
My father?
854
00:35:53,009 --> 00:35:54,848
It was his father, too, you know.
855
00:35:55,079 --> 00:35:56,793
And he didn't never get
856
00:35:56,818 --> 00:35:59,185
a chance to meet him but once.
857
00:35:59,210 --> 00:36:03,469
And Fatima,
she didn't give him any keepsakes.
858
00:36:04,715 --> 00:36:07,047
Who in the hell is Fatima?
859
00:36:07,072 --> 00:36:09,507
His mama. That whore that tried
860
00:36:09,532 --> 00:36:11,575
to steal your father from me.
861
00:36:12,266 --> 00:36:14,533
Poor Tariq.
862
00:36:14,666 --> 00:36:17,433
He's jealous of everything you've got.
863
00:36:17,605 --> 00:36:21,402
Especially your memories of your daddy.
864
00:36:26,901 --> 00:36:29,094
Did I ever tell you
865
00:36:29,119 --> 00:36:32,899
how much I love your crazy ass, Mama?
866
00:36:52,069 --> 00:36:54,269
Lucious is gonna be here any minute.
867
00:36:54,294 --> 00:36:55,993
I thought you had something
you wanted to say to him.
868
00:36:56,018 --> 00:36:58,552
I do, but I want y'all
to hear this first.
869
00:36:59,476 --> 00:37:01,952
I realized what my album is gonna be, so
870
00:37:01,976 --> 00:37:04,323

locked down in a cell, all because
896
00:38:18,128 --> 00:38:21,136
you wasn't man enough to say you did it.
897
00:38:21,161 --> 00:38:22,552
Hmm.
898
00:38:22,578 --> 00:38:25,546
See, I don't even understand how
you could live with yourself.
899

Is this your idea of a sick joke?

00:39:24,140 --> 00:39:26,440
Nah, I mean...
919
00:39:26,509 --> 00:39:28,319
you seemed kind of jealous
of the song I wrote for Mom,
920
00:39:28,344 --> 00:39:29,793
so I wrote one for you.
921
00:39:31,759 --> 00:39:33,874
Did you know about this?
922
00:39:34,309 --> 00:39:36,482
You can't release that song, Jamal.
923
00:39:36,507 --> 00:39:39,394
Not releasing anything
until my album is complete.
924
00:39:40,118 --> 00:39:43,483
It's gonna be called
When Cookie Met Lucious.
925
00:39:43,701 --> 00:39:45,344
Everything about the family:
926
00:39:45,369 --> 00:39:47,939
the good, the bad and all
the damage done in between.
927
00:39:49,839 --> 00:39:53,526
How... you met Mom,
928
00:39:53,551 --> 00:39:55,487
you... took her away from
her sisters and her father...
929
00:39:55,512 --> 00:39:57,094
Basically killed him.
930
00:39:57,683 --> 00:39:59,184
What are you talking about?
931
00:39:59,209 --> 00:40:00,855
Stop it, Jamal, please.
932
00:40:00,880 --> 00:40:02,179
Nah, Mom.
933
00:40:02,204 --> 00:40:03,624
He deserves to know.
934
00:40:05,319 --> 00:40:07,294
It's-it's not that simple.
935
00:40:07,319 --> 00:40:09,072
It's not
936
00:40:09,097 --> 00:40:10,463
black and white.
937
00:40:11,778 --> 00:40:12,928
My father had
938
00:40:12,954 --> 00:40:13,955
a heart attack.
939
00:40:13,979 --> 00:40:16,329
And your Aunt Carol and Candace
940
00:40:16,354 --> 00:40:18,373
blames Lucious.
941
00:40:18,398 --> 00:40:19,441
Mom, I'm sorry,
942
00:40:19,465 --> 00:40:20,944
but your father,
our grandfather, died because
943
00:40:20,970 --> 00:40:22,915
- he was protecting his...
- I did that.
944
00:40:22,940 --> 00:40:25,008
You don't know what
you're talking about.
945
00:40:26,624 --> 00:40:29,137
I broke my daddy's heart.
946
00:40:29,286 --> 00:40:32,220
And I never got a
chance to say good-bye.
947
00:40:32,505 --> 00:40:34,405
I had nothing to do
948
00:40:34,430 --> 00:40:36,117
with her father dying.
949
00:40:36,231 --> 00:40:38,075
He died because of stress.
950
00:40:38,100 --> 00:40:39,516
But...
951
00:40:39,737 --> 00:40:41,524
if he was still alive
952
00:40:41,549 --> 00:40:42,614
when I got locked up,
953
00:40:42,639 --> 00:40:44,073
that would've killed him for sure.
954
00:40:44,098 --> 00:40:45,635
What's the point of all this, Jamal?
955
00:40:46,059 --> 00:40:47,626
What good is this gonna do now?
956
00:40:47,651 --> 00:40:49,356
Truth and reconciliation, brother.
957
00:40:49,381 --> 00:40:51,014
Why don't you look at your mother?
958
00:40:51,167 --> 00:40:53,501
I know I can't be the only
one that wants to heal,
959
00:40:53,526 --> 00:40:55,126
and our father, he owes that to us.
960
00:40:55,151 --> 00:40:57,251
Owe you?
961
00:40:57,276 --> 00:40:59,225
I gave you life.
962
00:40:59,551 --> 00:41:01,892
Everything that y'all have,
963
00:41:01,917 --> 00:41:03,132
it's because of me.
964
00:41:03,158 --> 00:41:05,668
Including this big-ass bullet in my gut.
965
00:41:10,611 --> 00:41:12,544
Well, I can't change the past.
966
00:41:12,613 --> 00:41:13,745
You could change the future, Dad.
967
00:41:13,770 --> 00:41:15,586
If you really wanted to, you could.
968
00:41:15,611 --> 00:41:16,877
Look, you know, we-we do.
969
00:41:16,946 --> 00:41:18,771
We bitch and complain all the time.
970
00:41:19,202 --> 00:41:20,996
And we should absolutely be grateful
971
00:41:21,021 --> 00:41:22,454
for everything that you've done for us.
972
00:41:22,479 --> 00:41:24,050
You're damn right you should be.
973
00:41:24,076 --> 00:41:26,298
Well, I am. I swear.
974
00:41:28,330 --> 00:41:30,634
But we're drowning here, man.
975
00:41:31,900 --> 00:41:33,833
And if you ain't gonna lead
us to some other place,
976
00:41:33,858 --> 00:41:35,648
other than heartache, then we're
gonna have to leave you behind.
977
00:41:35,673 --> 00:41:37,214
Jamal, Jamal, that's enough, okay?
978
00:41:37,239 --> 00:41:39,267
- That's enough.
- "We"?
979
00:41:39,690 --> 00:41:42,769
Are y'all all in cahoots with him?
980
00:41:49,793 --> 00:41:52,360
Oh, and now y'all ain't
got nothing to say?
981
00:41:52,485 --> 00:41:54,252
Nothing?
982
00:41:57,701 --> 00:42:00,312
You are some piece of work, man.
983
00:42:00,528 --> 00:42:02,166
You standing there
984
00:42:02,191 --> 00:42:05,125
breathing because I'm
willing to do the dirty work
985
00:42:05,150 --> 00:42:07,938
necessary to keep this family safe.
986
00:42:08,461 --> 00:42:12,124
- When your mama called in a hit...
- Lucious.
987
00:42:12,149 --> 00:42:13,502
- To clean up a mess...
- Lucious!
988
00:42:13,527 --> 00:42:15,402
- She had made...
- Mom, what is he talking about?
989
00:42:15,427 --> 00:42:16,802
- With Freda's father...
- Shut up.
990
00:42:16,827 --> 00:42:19,308
Who do you think answered that call?
991
00:42:20,393 --> 00:42:23,000
No, that's not true.
Ma, that's not true.
992
00:42:23,025 --> 00:42:24,257
That's...
993
00:42:27,271 --> 00:42:29,371
Ah...
994
00:42:29,695 --> 00:42:31,162
I'll tell you one thing
995
00:42:31,230 --> 00:42:32,963
your mama's right about:
996
00:42:33,032 --> 00:42:35,294
everything ain't black and white.
997
00:42:35,319 --> 00:42:36,878
And we ain't all
998
00:42:36,903 --> 00:42:38,358
good and bad.
999
00:42:38,383 --> 00:42:40,022
But I will be damned
1000
00:42:40,127 --> 00:42:43,828
if I will ever apologize for loving you.
1001
