LUCIOUS: He had a DUI some 20 years ago.

00:00:08,736 --> 00:00:10,903

00:06:24,768 --> 00:06:26,234
Yeah, in those rap lyrics,
175
00:06:26,303 --> 00:06:28,406
she referred to two men
who worked for her father.
176
00:06:28,431 --> 00:06:31,447
Both were with him in Brooklyn
Correctional when he was murdered.
177
00:06:31,540 --> 00:06:33,650
Agent Cousins, if you're
hoping to get a murder indictment
178
00:06:33,675 --> 00:06:34,750
based on rap lyrics...
179
00:06:34,775 --> 00:06:37,912
This is an e-mail that leaked in
the Empire hack a few weeks ago.
180
00:06:37,981 --> 00:06:40,348
Uh, it mentions cash payoffs
to the families of two men
181
00:06:40,417 --> 00:06:42,283
identified only by their initials,
182
00:06:42,352 --> 00:06:43,729
"MM" and "BK"...
183
00:06:43,761 --> 00:06:47,103
Now, we weren't able to I.D. them until
Gatz's lyrics filled in the blanks.
184
00:06:47,128 --> 00:06:48,698
"MM" is Mikey Moses,
185
00:06:48,723 --> 00:06:50,697
BK is Bobby "Bam Bam" King.
186
00:06:50,722 --> 00:06:52,694
If you're implying that
the Gathers hit was paid for
187
00:06:52,762 --> 00:06:54,429
with Empire money,
get to the who already.
188
00:06:54,497 --> 00:06:57,131
Yes, Judge Chae, I give you
the only man with the money,
189
00:06:57,200 --> 00:06:59,051
the muscle and the
motive to pull it off,
190
00:06:59,076 --> 00:07:00,683
Lucious Lyon.
191
00:07:03,776 --> 00:07:05,181
Well...
192
00:07:05,206 --> 00:07:07,355
I've got a football game to go to, so...
193
00:07:07,380 --> 00:07:11,379
I'll sign a court order freezing
Empire's assets for 30 days.
194
00:07:11,690 --> 00:07:13,548
It'll be up to you to
gather enough evidence
195
00:07:13,616 --> 00:07:17,276
to bring about a federal murder
indictment against Lucious Lyon.
196
00:07:19,823 --> 00:07:22,454
This smells personal, Agent Cousins.
197
00:07:22,479 --> 00:07:24,089
- It better not be.
- No, I assure you, sir,
198
00:07:24,114 --> 00:07:26,206
I'm just trying to bring a
dangerous criminal to justice.
199
00:07:26,267 --> 00:07:27,589
Hmm.
200
00:07:41,126 --> 00:07:43,322
- You got your ticket?
- Here you go.
201
00:07:51,689 --> 00:07:54,915
I thought I felt a
certain chill in the air.
202
00:07:55,337 --> 00:07:59,189
So, you're unhappy about my
son's relationship with your ex.
203
00:08:00,603 --> 00:08:04,432
Cookie and I have what you call history.
204
00:08:04,860 --> 00:08:06,267
We share three sons.
205
00:08:06,336 --> 00:08:08,587
She's the co-chair of my company.
206
00:08:08,751 --> 00:08:10,462
So I watch her back.
207
00:08:11,007 --> 00:08:12,493
But, lady...
208
00:08:13,245 --> 00:08:15,024
don't ever try to read me.
209
00:08:15,165 --> 00:08:16,844
I would never.
210
00:08:16,913 --> 00:08:20,345
I read books, not graffiti.
211
00:08:21,689 --> 00:08:25,787
But here you are asking
me to bust up Cookie
212
00:08:25,812 --> 00:08:28,977
and your little... cupcake?
213
00:08:29,002 --> 00:08:31,110
I have no doubt that you
would have done that already
214
00:08:31,135 --> 00:08:33,401
if it were in your power to do so. No.
215
00:08:33,713 --> 00:08:37,181
Our campaign has a bigger
problem than Cookie Lyon.
216
00:08:37,206 --> 00:08:39,516
Are you familiar with Edison Cruz?
217
00:08:39,541 --> 00:08:42,503
He's planning to publish a story
on the eve of our Captain's Ball
218
00:08:42,528 --> 00:08:44,784
that could cost us the election.
219
00:08:46,048 --> 00:08:47,514
Is it true?
220
00:08:48,865 --> 00:08:51,578
There's always a droplet of truth,
221
00:08:51,661 --> 00:08:53,398
but once that droplet hits the water,
222
00:08:53,423 --> 00:08:54,945
it turns into a tidal wave.
223
00:08:54,970 --> 00:08:58,156
I'd like to see that evaporate
before that can occur.
224
00:08:58,882 --> 00:09:00,860
See, this is what's funny to me.
225
00:09:00,929 --> 00:09:03,023
This is the history of America.
226
00:09:03,101 --> 00:09:04,750
Rich snobs like you,
227
00:09:04,775 --> 00:09:07,102
that I could burp their net worth,
228
00:09:07,127 --> 00:09:09,026
asking men like me
229
00:09:09,071 --> 00:09:11,571
to do things that you
lack the courage to do.
230
00:09:11,874 --> 00:09:14,546
Well, now that isn't really
the history of America,
231
00:09:14,571 --> 00:09:16,428
but we can talk about
that at a later date.
232
00:09:16,453 --> 00:09:19,226
I need to know if you can
persuade him to back off.
233
00:09:19,251 --> 00:09:22,082
Well, I'm very gifted
at the art of persuasion,
234
00:09:22,757 --> 00:09:25,749
but what's in it for me, huh?
235
00:09:25,954 --> 00:09:30,320
Well, I could end Cookie's romance.
236
00:09:31,257 --> 00:09:33,218
I know my son's hot buttons
237
00:09:33,243 --> 00:09:36,031
and if I press them,
she will be incinerated.
238
00:09:36,056 --> 00:09:37,222
"Incinerated"?
239
00:09:37,247 --> 00:09:38,512
- Poof.
- (LAUGHING)
240
00:09:47,458 --> 00:09:48,724
Anika.
241
00:09:49,098 --> 00:09:50,292
Hmm?
242
00:09:50,504 --> 00:09:53,471
What did I tell you about
never being in my bed
243
00:09:53,496 --> 00:09:55,597
when I wake up in the morning?
244
00:09:56,535 --> 00:09:57,760
Hmm?
245
00:09:57,801 --> 00:10:00,402
Yeah, whatever.
246
00:10:00,471 --> 00:10:02,905
Your little friend didn't
seem to mind too much.
247
00:10:02,973 --> 00:10:05,340
Ah, you weren't calling
him little last night.
248
00:10:05,409 --> 00:10:08,199
(BOTH CHUCKLE)

- You are so nasty.
- Please.
251

- I'm not going...
- Please!
252

- Don't make me make you.
- (LAUGHS)

- (LAUGHS)
254

Yes.
255
00:10:24,754 --> 00:10:26,300
Okay.

(VACUUM STOPS)
260
00:10:36,333 --> 00:10:37,814
The same thing she's doing.
261
00:10:37,839 --> 00:10:39,697
But I'm sucking the dirt out of the rug.
262
00:10:39,722 --> 00:10:41,122
Okay, you know what?
263
00:10:41,190 --> 00:10:43,488
I am not doing this, Lucious!
264
00:10:43,801 --> 00:10:45,768
Okay, you got a choice, all right?
265
00:10:45,793 --> 00:10:47,538
It's either me and Bella
266
00:10:47,563 --> 00:10:49,511
or your crazy-ass momma.
267
00:10:50,138 --> 00:10:51,652
So you decide.
268
00:10:51,886 --> 00:10:53,878
I'm not going anywhere.
269
00:10:53,903 --> 00:10:55,386
Yeah, we'll see about that.
270
00:10:55,878 --> 00:10:57,730
- Mom.

273

so I know your guts are torn up, Jamal.
274

But I don't want you
backsliding because of that pain.

Ma, I'm straight, all right?
276

What, Lucious get in your head?
277
00:11:23,194 --> 00:11:24,332
Of course he did.
278
00:11:24,400 --> 00:11:26,554
'Cause if I don't get back
on that stage, then he wins.
279
00:11:26,579 --> 00:11:29,365
No and I want you to
win. I want us to win.
280

But not at the expense of your health.
281
00:11:31,204 --> 00:11:33,071
I wouldn't be able to live with myself.
282
00:11:33,096 --> 00:11:34,554
I'm all right.

Good, that's good to hear.

Then you can give 'em to me, then.

- Give me what?

make me come back there.

874
00:40:46,233 --> 00:40:48,483
(LAUGHTER)
875
00:40:48,508 --> 00:40:49,999
I told 'em it was closing time.
876
00:40:50,024 --> 00:40:52,077
They don't listen. They
even took over the music.
877
00:40:52,205 --> 00:40:53,705
♪ I... in so many ways ♪
878
00:40:53,774 --> 00:40:55,372
It's awful late, fellas.
879
00:40:55,397 --> 00:40:56,999
Shouldn't you boys be home in bed?
880
00:40:57,024 --> 00:40:58,457
- ♪ They say about me... ♪
- Ah.
881
00:40:58,482 --> 00:40:59,914
You kicking us out, bro?
882
00:40:59,939 --> 00:41:02,241
I mean, they could've
at least sent the police,
883
00:41:02,266 --> 00:41:03,780
somebody with some real muscle.
884
00:41:03,805 --> 00:41:05,104
(LAUGHTER)
885
00:41:05,129 --> 00:41:07,630
I'm not trying to kick you out, Shine.
886
00:41:07,655 --> 00:41:10,202
As a matter of fact, I'm
here to join the celebration.
887
00:41:10,227 --> 00:41:12,577
That's what this is,
right, a celebration?
888
00:41:12,602 --> 00:41:14,135
Ladies and gentlemen,
889
00:41:14,594 --> 00:41:16,311
let's toast to my man Shine.
890
00:41:16,336 --> 00:41:17,535
OTHERS: To Shine!
891
00:41:17,560 --> 00:41:19,374
Hell of a power move you made, brother.
892
00:41:19,399 --> 00:41:20,452
Hell of a move.
893
00:41:20,477 --> 00:41:24,623
♪ Sippin' on this codeine and Sprite ♪
894
00:41:24,648 --> 00:41:26,311
♪ I'm leanin' ♪
895
00:41:27,307 --> 00:41:29,874
- ♪ She leans on me... ♪
- You know...
896
00:41:29,899 --> 00:41:32,366
Nessa said you was out
your rabbit-ass mind,
897
00:41:32,391 --> 00:41:33,657
but that's okay.
898
00:41:33,682 --> 00:41:37,022
I deal with a lot of crazy
dudes... a lot crazier than you.
899
00:41:38,243 --> 00:41:41,100
Listen, what do you
think my father would do
900
00:41:41,125 --> 00:41:44,413
if he knew you were the one who
set him up for the asset freeze?
901
00:41:45,553 --> 00:41:46,819
I had nothing to do with that.
902
00:41:46,844 --> 00:41:49,046
I can prove that you
leveraged all your Laundromats
903
00:41:49,071 --> 00:41:51,210
and parking garages and strip clubs,
904
00:41:51,235 --> 00:41:54,702
all your properties... if that's
what you want to call it...
905
00:41:54,780 --> 00:41:58,436
two weeks before Tariq and the
FBI froze Empire's accounts.
906
00:41:58,505 --> 00:42:00,491
- So what?
- "So what?"
907
00:42:00,516 --> 00:42:02,636
That means you knew it was coming.
908
00:42:03,222 --> 00:42:05,928
That means you tipped off Tariq.
909
00:42:06,671 --> 00:42:09,335
My father respects his opponents, Shine,
910
00:42:09,664 --> 00:42:11,358
but he hates a snitch.
911
00:42:11,725 --> 00:42:14,819
Let's say you can prove
this crazy theory you got.
912
00:42:16,790 --> 00:42:19,557
Tell him. Tell Lucious.
913
00:42:20,476 --> 00:42:22,576
Let's see what happens next.
914
00:42:22,601 --> 00:42:24,201
♪ I've been... round for a minute... ♪
915
00:42:24,226 --> 00:42:26,557
I got a much better
plan than that, brother.
916
00:42:26,582 --> 00:42:28,916
Come over here, I'll tell you about it.
917
00:42:35,563 --> 00:42:37,512
Here's how it's gonna
work from here on out.
918
00:42:37,537 --> 00:42:39,450
You respect the hierarchy.
919
00:42:39,779 --> 00:42:42,005
I pull the strings
here, including Nessa.
920
00:42:42,215 --> 00:42:45,250
Now, you do what you do, I do what I do.
921
00:42:45,275 --> 00:42:47,919
We'll put the pieces in
place to cover our tracks,
922
00:42:47,944 --> 00:42:49,825
make all the moves we need to make
923
00:42:50,011 --> 00:42:51,551
until it's time.
924
00:42:53,693 --> 00:42:55,193
Time for what?
925
00:42:57,497 --> 00:42:59,616
Time to kill my father.
926
00:43:00,039 --> 00:43:04,023
