1
00:00:00,047 --> 00:00:03,376
- Previously on Empire...
- We're Empire's original power couple.
2
00:00:03,411 --> 00:00:05,118
Not Andre and that bobblehead.
3
00:00:05,153 --> 00:00:06,551
I'm gonna get back at the both of 'em.
4
00:00:06,586 --> 00:00:08,983
- Relax.
- Xavier took credit for my idea.
5
00:00:09,018 --> 00:00:11,218
I'll teach you a little
something about true payback.
6
00:00:11,292 --> 00:00:15,122
You gonna get your ass on
that stage, clean and sober.
7
00:00:15,801 --> 00:00:16,855
I just need my pills.
8
00:00:16,910 --> 00:00:18,458
Just got to get to the show, you know that.
9
00:00:22,762 --> 00:00:24,492
- I love you.
- I love you, too.
10
00:00:24,652 --> 00:00:26,256
And you're going to rehab, okay?
11
00:00:26,291 --> 00:00:27,590
What?
12
00:00:28,442 --> 00:00:30,460
Angelo drunk-drove into a lake,
13
00:00:30,495 --> 00:00:33,561
saving himself while leaving
a poor innocent girl to drown.
14
00:00:33,624 --> 00:00:34,564
What?
15
00:00:34,599 --> 00:00:36,133
You respect the hierarchy.
16
00:00:36,168 --> 00:00:38,168
I pull the strings here until it's time.
17
00:00:38,203 --> 00:00:39,102
Time for what?
18
00:00:39,137 --> 00:00:41,037
Time to kill my father.
19
00:00:43,291 --> 00:00:45,998
While Marley gave you In Control
20
00:00:46,082 --> 00:00:49,062
and Dre gave you The Chronic,
21
00:00:49,180 --> 00:00:51,715
I give you Inferno.

I forgot he was even doing music.
50
00:01:58,116 --> 00:02:00,748

me the heads-up, Lucious.

91
00:03:31,851 --> 00:03:34,085
Give it up for them.
92
00:03:39,426 --> 00:03:40,764
Now, as y'all know,
93
00:03:40,834 --> 00:03:44,294
I was forged in the fires
of Philadelphia streets.
94
00:03:44,691 --> 00:03:46,533
And I took that energy and I turned it
95
00:03:46,611 --> 00:03:50,354
into one album, into another
platinum-selling album,
96
00:03:50,389 --> 00:03:52,592
into another platinum-selling album.
97
00:03:52,654 --> 00:03:55,307
And now, with Inferno,
98
00:03:55,342 --> 00:03:59,277
I retake my rightful place
at the top of hip-hop,
99
00:03:59,312 --> 00:04:01,023
- at the top of my game.
- Who is that?
100
00:04:01,062 --> 00:04:03,532
At the top of the Empire!
101
00:04:03,568 --> 00:04:05,234
What's going on?
102
00:04:06,453 --> 00:04:07,775
Yo, man, check her out.
103
00:04:12,063 --> 00:04:13,762
Hello, everybody!
104
00:04:15,027 --> 00:04:18,682
This is Lucious Lyon's dear mama.
105
00:04:18,717 --> 00:04:19,449
Leah Walker.
106
00:04:19,484 --> 00:04:21,967
- Leah Walker?
- Didn't she die?
107
00:04:22,002 --> 00:04:25,623
And she was so excited
backstage to watch her baby boy
108
00:04:25,677 --> 00:04:28,138
out here, talking about
all his fabulousness.
109
00:04:28,215 --> 00:04:31,309
She just want to come out here
and tell y'all hey. Go ahead, mama.
110
00:04:31,344 --> 00:04:33,175
Hi.
111
00:04:33,210 --> 00:04:36,815
Didn't she commit suicide
in the "Boom Boom" video?
112
00:04:37,052 --> 00:04:38,702
I'm Leah.
113
00:04:40,917 --> 00:04:42,454
Yo, get out there, Cho!
114
00:04:42,489 --> 00:04:43,722
I'm Dwight's...
115
00:04:43,757 --> 00:04:44,827
Hey, everybody.
116
00:04:44,862 --> 00:04:46,433
You guys have your press packets.
117
00:04:46,468 --> 00:04:49,561
Lucious is on his way to the studio
right now to start work on Inferno.
118
00:04:49,596 --> 00:04:50,695
In the meantime,
119
00:04:50,730 --> 00:04:53,588
please check for updates on
Empire XStream. Thanks, guys.
120
00:04:53,658 --> 00:04:55,333
You a liar!
121
00:04:55,368 --> 00:04:57,468
I thought she was dead!
122
00:05:01,408 --> 00:05:03,141
How was that for a shot?
123
00:05:03,176 --> 00:05:05,710
Hit any vital organs?
124
00:05:13,886 --> 00:05:17,699
Sync and corrections by explosiveskull
www.addic7ed.com
125
00:05:18,521 --> 00:05:21,596
I mean, as co-CEO, she knows
she's sabotaging her own company.
126
00:05:23,150 --> 00:05:24,586
Well, maybe she's got it out of her system.
127
00:05:24,621 --> 00:05:27,092
Nah, not Cookie. And if she want war,
128
00:05:27,185 --> 00:05:28,667
I'm gonna give it to her.
129
00:05:28,702 --> 00:05:30,035
All right, I'll see you in a bit,
130
00:05:30,070 --> 00:05:31,155
- I'm gonna hit the head.
- Yeah.
131
00:05:31,217 --> 00:05:34,239
I got Nessa booked for the
XStream Next Up Showcase.
132
00:05:34,274 --> 00:05:35,540
It'll be her first solo set.
133
00:05:35,575 --> 00:05:37,842
I love it. Good stuff, X.
134
00:05:37,877 --> 00:05:38,910
Thank you.
135
00:05:38,945 --> 00:05:40,245
Good stuff?
136
00:05:40,280 --> 00:05:43,769
That makes zero sense. Both Hakeem
and Tiana have albums dropping
137
00:05:43,832 --> 00:05:46,419
- before Nessa.
- Yeah, but I'm your boss.
138
00:05:46,512 --> 00:05:49,823
Andre is mine, so just do the math.
139
00:05:49,893 --> 00:05:51,201
Here's some math.
140
00:05:51,287 --> 00:05:53,291
I have as many voting
shares on the board as Andre.
141
00:05:55,261 --> 00:05:57,305
Well, the board is not involved
142
00:05:57,340 --> 00:05:59,564
in the day to day of the company, Hakeem.
143
00:05:59,599 --> 00:06:03,301
Cookie wants Tiana, so
that's what she's gonna get.
144
00:06:03,336 --> 00:06:04,402
Pop.
145
00:06:08,908 --> 00:06:09,908
So...
146
00:06:09,943 --> 00:06:11,279
vote on the table is whether
147
00:06:11,333 --> 00:06:13,812
to feature Nessa or Tiana at the showcase.
148
00:06:13,847 --> 00:06:15,847
Yo, are you hardheaded or stupid?
149
00:06:15,882 --> 00:06:17,248
Mom already approved.
150
00:06:17,283 --> 00:06:18,650
Your mom approved who?
151
00:06:18,685 --> 00:06:20,118
Tiana.
152
00:06:20,153 --> 00:06:22,222
Then it's settled.
153
00:06:23,123 --> 00:06:25,590
It's Nessa that gets the showcase.
154
00:06:25,625 --> 00:06:27,425
Dad, wait, you can't be doing this.
155
00:06:27,460 --> 00:06:28,593
End of story.
156
00:06:35,135 --> 00:06:36,601
We're done here.
157
00:06:40,673 --> 00:06:43,376
- Hey, Becky, listen.
- You can save your sorrys,
158
00:06:43,411 --> 00:06:45,244
Xavier, I don't want them.
159
00:06:45,311 --> 00:06:48,847
No, you come at me in front
of the bosses like that again,
160
00:06:48,882 --> 00:06:50,648
I will fire you.
161
00:06:52,685 --> 00:06:54,552
How's that sorry for you?
162
00:06:59,559 --> 00:07:02,346
All right, so I'm-a hit
you when I land in Boston.
163
00:07:02,381 --> 00:07:04,229
You really have to go, huh?
164
00:07:04,264 --> 00:07:05,263
Yeah.
165
00:07:05,298 --> 00:07:07,240
I hope this Jayce plays ball.
166
00:07:07,310 --> 00:07:08,859
I mean, they got all the files, right?
167
00:07:08,945 --> 00:07:12,003
Including the citation from when
they pulled me over for that DUI.
168
00:07:12,038 --> 00:07:14,353
That alone doesn't place
me anywhere near that lake
169
00:07:14,388 --> 00:07:16,374
where Carla drowned.
170
00:07:16,409 --> 00:07:18,109
Carla.
171
00:07:21,314 --> 00:07:23,648
You know what?
172
00:07:23,683 --> 00:07:26,217
I couldn't even remember her name
173
00:07:26,252 --> 00:07:28,720
till I saw it in that file.
174
00:07:28,755 --> 00:07:31,112
I mean, I just met the girl
at that party that night.
175
00:07:31,191 --> 00:07:33,525
It was...
176
00:07:33,560 --> 00:07:35,459
She seemed like she was nice.
177
00:07:36,596 --> 00:07:38,596
And Jayce?
178
00:07:38,631 --> 00:07:40,965
Jayce, I didn't know him that well, either.
179
00:07:41,000 --> 00:07:42,801
I mean, went to grade school together.
180
00:07:42,836 --> 00:07:46,538
He ended up doing six years
for involuntary manslaughter.
181
00:07:46,573 --> 00:07:49,173
The arrest records are sealed, but...
182
00:07:50,910 --> 00:07:52,653
...nobody from school ever heard from him,
183
00:07:52,707 --> 00:07:54,712
so if I could just get him
184
00:07:54,747 --> 00:07:57,315
to make a statement, then...
185
00:07:58,785 --> 00:08:00,901
You know what, don't worry about me.
186
00:08:00,936 --> 00:08:04,222
You got a lot on your plate with Jamal.
187
00:08:04,257 --> 00:08:06,191
You see your boy today, huh?
188
00:08:06,226 --> 00:08:07,725
You excited to see Jamal?
189
00:08:07,760 --> 00:08:10,028
It's the first time
since I put him in rehab.
190
00:08:10,063 --> 00:08:11,362
That's right.
191
00:08:12,498 --> 00:08:15,392
I'm so scared, Angelo. I just...
192
00:08:15,427 --> 00:08:19,220
I want my baby back,
healthy, sober and strong.
193
00:08:19,306 --> 00:08:20,205
I know.
194
00:08:20,240 --> 00:08:22,674
You will.
195
00:08:22,709 --> 00:08:26,110
Hey, just believe in him.
196
00:08:26,145 --> 00:08:27,445
All right?
197
00:08:27,480 --> 00:08:29,413
All right?
198
00:08:31,551 --> 00:08:33,156
- Okay.
- You look good.
199
00:08:33,191 --> 00:08:35,686
Thank you.
200
00:08:40,493 --> 00:08:42,126
Good afternoon.
201
00:08:42,161 --> 00:08:44,596
I'm Dr. Katz. I'm Jamal's therapist.
202
00:08:44,631 --> 00:08:46,097
How's Jamal doing?
203
00:08:46,132 --> 00:08:47,599
We'll wait for him to tell you.
204
00:08:47,634 --> 00:08:49,624
Excuse me, do you have
a sound system in here?
205
00:08:49,659 --> 00:08:52,097
I want my brother to hear some
new stuff I've been working on.
206
00:08:52,132 --> 00:08:54,370
I'm afraid you'll have to wait
another three weeks until...
207
00:08:54,405 --> 00:08:57,689
Sunny Day Recovery Center
doesn't believe in music.
208
00:08:57,736 --> 00:09:00,416
Just one of the many stupid
rules at this dire refugee camp.
209
00:09:00,451 --> 00:09:02,478
Tory, this is a private family session.
210
00:09:02,548 --> 00:09:04,015
Yo, Tory Ash.
211
00:09:04,093 --> 00:09:06,217
Yo, Hakeem Lyon.
212
00:09:06,252 --> 00:09:07,878
Oh, and Andre.
213
00:09:08,900 --> 00:09:10,989
And the mama bear Lyon herself.
214
00:09:11,024 --> 00:09:12,069
What's up, Cookie?
215
00:09:12,116 --> 00:09:13,791
- Tory.
- Relax, cornball.
216
00:09:13,826 --> 00:09:15,560
I'm just saying hello.
217
00:09:15,595 --> 00:09:17,228
From what Jamal's told me,
218
00:09:17,263 --> 00:09:19,530
I'm surprised all your little
Lyon cubs aren't in rehab.
219
00:09:21,668 --> 00:09:24,056
Don't try me, little girl, not today.
220
00:09:24,111 --> 00:09:25,768
- Please.
- Oh, Cookie, I could try you,
221
00:09:25,803 --> 00:09:27,739
but I think I'd rather wait
and try Lucious instead.
222
00:09:27,774 --> 00:09:30,217
Oh, yeah, you should do that,
'cause you'll stay alive.
223
00:09:30,252 --> 00:09:33,177
I already told you he's not coming.
224
00:09:35,248 --> 00:09:38,516
I see y'all met my crazy-ass friend, Tory.
225
00:09:38,551 --> 00:09:40,451
- Good luck.
- Thank you.
226
00:09:40,486 --> 00:09:42,687
- Hey, Ma.
- Jamal.
227
00:09:45,682 --> 00:09:48,185
- You look good.
- Thanks, Mom.
228
00:09:48,220 --> 00:09:49,327
- What's up, bro?
- What's up, brother?
229
00:09:51,030 --> 00:09:53,431
- What's up, Dre?
- Damn. Tory Ash.
230
00:09:53,466 --> 00:09:56,078
The whole world is still
wondering what happened to her
231
00:09:56,133 --> 00:09:59,131
ever since she stripped butt
naked onstage at Fenway Park.
232
00:09:59,199 --> 00:10:02,041
Show some respect, Hakeem.
The woman has an illness.
233
00:10:02,121 --> 00:10:03,206
Yeah, you would know a lot about that,
234
00:10:03,275 --> 00:10:04,306
- wouldn't you?
- Shut up, boy.
235
00:10:04,392 --> 00:10:07,305
Yeah, she was a big star.
I mean, brilliant, too.
236
00:10:07,407 --> 00:10:08,531
- Yeah.
- That heroin knocked her ass
237
00:10:08,579 --> 00:10:09,772
right out the sky.
238
00:10:09,865 --> 00:10:11,112
She had that meltdown at Fenway.
239
00:10:11,175 --> 00:10:14,728
Didn't they find her in a
coma at some dingy motel?
240
00:10:14,783 --> 00:10:18,253
Mrs. Lyon, I have to ask
you not to indulge in gossip
241
00:10:18,288 --> 00:10:19,824
about other the residents.
242
00:10:19,859 --> 00:10:22,427
Sorry.
243
00:10:22,462 --> 00:10:24,893
Now, should we wait for Mr. Lyon, or...?
244
00:10:24,928 --> 00:10:27,918
Uh, like Jamal said,
his father ain't coming.
245
00:10:27,953 --> 00:10:29,659
His father is what?
246
00:10:30,289 --> 00:10:33,071
- How's my boy?
- Dad.
247
00:10:33,106 --> 00:10:34,405
Look at you,
248
00:10:34,440 --> 00:10:36,841
all bright-eyed and strong
249
00:10:36,876 --> 00:10:38,476
and ready for the world.
250
00:10:40,013 --> 00:10:44,148
How's my boy doing recovering
from those addictive drugs
251
00:10:44,183 --> 00:10:45,480
his mama got him hooked on?
252
00:10:45,515 --> 00:10:48,652
Lucious, if you gonna be here,
can you be here for the family?
253
00:10:49,989 --> 00:10:53,071
That's rich, coming from you.
254
00:10:53,149 --> 00:10:55,893
I'm sure Jamal is happy that
his whole family is here.
255
00:10:57,296 --> 00:10:59,230
Jamal,
256
00:10:59,265 --> 00:11:00,991
do you want to tell
them what's on your mind
257
00:11:01,026 --> 00:11:03,001
- at the halfway point?
- Sure.
258
00:11:03,036 --> 00:11:05,503
Um, well...
259
00:11:07,106 --> 00:11:09,685
...first week was absolute hell.
260
00:11:09,720 --> 00:11:11,576
I don't ever want to go
through withdrawal again.
261
00:11:11,611 --> 00:11:12,843
And we know you won't, bro.
262
00:11:13,634 --> 00:11:16,196
Yeah, if you stay clean.
263
00:11:16,231 --> 00:11:17,931
What do you mean, "if"?
264
00:11:17,966 --> 00:11:19,723
He is clean.
265
00:11:19,758 --> 00:11:22,186
- Right, Jamal?
- Completely clean.
266
00:11:22,221 --> 00:11:23,855
You know, that's...
267
00:11:23,890 --> 00:11:25,556
that's why I want to go home.
268
00:11:26,378 --> 00:11:27,959
- What?
- I need to go home.
269
00:11:27,994 --> 00:11:30,695
I got this... this
melody that's in my head.
270
00:11:30,730 --> 00:11:32,803
It's been pushing me the
entire time that I've been here,
271
00:11:32,850 --> 00:11:35,833
and I need to get to the studio and I
need to lay it down before I lose it.
272
00:11:38,648 --> 00:11:41,379
So, your body is healed... I get that...
273
00:11:41,443 --> 00:11:44,000
but you need to stay
and finish this program.
274
00:11:44,063 --> 00:11:45,610
Okay, Ma, I need to finish the program.
275
00:11:45,645 --> 00:11:47,978
I also need to finish
the pills in the drain.
276
00:11:51,751 --> 00:11:53,225
I'm sorry, Ma, that was messed up.
277
00:11:53,260 --> 00:11:54,585
That wasn't fair to you, I'm sorry.
278
00:11:57,723 --> 00:12:00,858
I gave you those pills because
I saw you were in pain, Jamal.
279
00:12:02,528 --> 00:12:04,262
No, tell the truth.
280
00:12:04,297 --> 00:12:06,461
You gave him those pills
because you needed him
281
00:12:06,496 --> 00:12:08,533
to perform at that event.
282
00:12:08,568 --> 00:12:11,174
You also was conflicted
because you had to choose
283
00:12:11,209 --> 00:12:13,878
between the needs of your boyfriend
284
00:12:13,913 --> 00:12:15,084
or the needs of your son.
285
00:12:15,119 --> 00:12:17,942
- You don't know what he did to Angelo.
- What I did to Angelo...
286
00:12:17,977 --> 00:12:19,584
- Mr. and Mrs. Lyon...
- Would you shut the hell up?
287
00:12:19,639 --> 00:12:21,245
It's not half as bad as
288
00:12:21,280 --> 00:12:23,752
what you did to Empire
and to Empire's name.
289
00:12:23,807 --> 00:12:26,352
Jamal and I are sick and tired
of cleaning up the family name.
290
00:12:26,406 --> 00:12:27,838
It's a name you're not
even supposed to have
291
00:12:27,873 --> 00:12:29,818
- in the first place.
- Oh, right, cause you built everything...
292
00:12:29,889 --> 00:12:31,823
- First or last name.
- You built everything...
293
00:12:38,868 --> 00:12:39,792
Hey, what's up, papa.
294
00:12:39,857 --> 00:12:41,390
Let me get one of them dirty dogs.
295
00:12:41,464 --> 00:12:43,496
- They're Kosher, right?
- Sí.
296
00:12:43,585 --> 00:12:44,701
There you go.
297
00:12:45,562 --> 00:12:46,952
Gracias.
298
00:12:47,043 --> 00:12:49,835
Ain't nothing like a good pimp steak.
299
00:12:49,870 --> 00:12:51,551
Hand me a couple napkins, will you?
300
00:12:53,207 --> 00:12:54,264
Thank you.
301
00:13:07,270 --> 00:13:09,805
And you're sure
302
00:13:09,840 --> 00:13:12,574
it's about Frank Gathers' murder?
303
00:13:12,609 --> 00:13:15,177
I mean, so says Agent Sweetwater.
304
00:13:15,212 --> 00:13:17,045
And the way I figure it,
305
00:13:17,080 --> 00:13:19,414
somebody scored a "get
out of jail free" card.
306
00:13:19,449 --> 00:13:22,184
And Tariq got him lined up
to testify to a grand jury
307
00:13:22,219 --> 00:13:24,820
that you're the one who
ordered the hit on Gathers.
308
00:13:24,855 --> 00:13:26,488
I mean, so you tell me, I mean,
309
00:13:26,523 --> 00:13:27,989
d-does anybody come to mind?
310
00:13:29,593 --> 00:13:33,061
Well, Guy, he's back at Lompoc.
311
00:13:33,096 --> 00:13:35,397
And Mikey caught a bullet up in Jersey,
312
00:13:35,432 --> 00:13:38,166
so...
313
00:13:38,201 --> 00:13:39,601
that leaves
314
00:13:39,636 --> 00:13:42,904
one man, Bobby King,
315
00:13:42,939 --> 00:13:45,476
A.K.A. rat bastard.
316
00:13:45,575 --> 00:13:47,709
- Bam-Bam.
- Bam-Bam.
317
00:13:48,745 --> 00:13:49,769
And to think I spent
318
00:13:49,804 --> 00:13:52,859
a bunch of money on his
daughter's leukemia bills,
319
00:13:52,894 --> 00:13:54,277
and she still died.
320
00:13:54,347 --> 00:13:55,784
I got the name.
321
00:13:55,819 --> 00:13:57,678
I'll find out where Bam-Bam's hiding.
322
00:13:57,733 --> 00:13:59,354
Look, Thirst?
323
00:13:59,389 --> 00:14:01,456
You know, this business about my mama
324
00:14:01,491 --> 00:14:04,726
and the press, you know...
325
00:14:04,761 --> 00:14:06,033
keep an eye on it.
326
00:14:06,080 --> 00:14:07,316
Yeah, it's not a problem.
327
00:14:07,378 --> 00:14:09,631
I'll keep her in my sights.
328
00:14:11,608 --> 00:14:13,541
Bam-Bam.
329
00:14:17,030 --> 00:14:20,442
Looking good, and they
finally spelled my name right.
330
00:14:20,477 --> 00:14:23,411
Looks like somebody's
moving up in the world.
331
00:14:23,446 --> 00:14:24,980
Congratulations, brother.
332
00:14:25,015 --> 00:14:27,171
Thanks.
333
00:14:27,206 --> 00:14:29,451
You hear about what I hooked up for Nessa?
334
00:14:29,486 --> 00:14:32,086
Yeah, the, uh, Next Up Showcase.
335
00:14:32,121 --> 00:14:33,059
It's good.
336
00:14:33,137 --> 00:14:34,945
She deserves it.
337
00:14:35,007 --> 00:14:37,392
Well, stepping stones, my friend.
338
00:14:37,427 --> 00:14:39,150
Phase one of the plan.
339
00:14:39,205 --> 00:14:41,963
Speaking of the plan,
340
00:14:41,998 --> 00:14:44,065
you know...
341
00:14:44,100 --> 00:14:46,434
Inferno 'bout to be a monster.
342
00:14:46,469 --> 00:14:49,170
Lucious is about to be bigger than ever.
343
00:14:49,205 --> 00:14:52,307
There's no way you're stealing
Empire from him right now.
344
00:14:55,612 --> 00:14:58,813
I didn't say I was gonna steal it from him.
345
00:14:58,848 --> 00:15:00,348
I said I'm gonna kill him.
346
00:15:00,383 --> 00:15:04,264
While Lucious is making
Inferno, we'll be making moves,
347
00:15:04,299 --> 00:15:05,754
mounting an army.
348
00:15:05,789 --> 00:15:06,847
An army?
349
00:15:06,886 --> 00:15:09,624
That's right.
350
00:15:09,659 --> 00:15:11,259
You mean my guys?
351
00:15:11,294 --> 00:15:13,628
I'd like to think of
them as our guys, Shine.
352
00:15:20,036 --> 00:15:22,003
Welcome to the Empire.
353
00:15:28,411 --> 00:15:30,011
I've got a statement
you can read explaining
354
00:15:30,046 --> 00:15:31,880
you were just protecting
the privacy of your mother.
355
00:15:31,915 --> 00:15:34,749
When have you ever known
me not to come off the dome?
356
00:15:38,221 --> 00:15:40,422
I'm sure you got a bunch of questions,
357
00:15:40,457 --> 00:15:42,497
so why don't we just push to the punch?
358
00:15:42,583 --> 00:15:44,274
You want to ask about my mother, right?
359
00:15:44,309 --> 00:15:45,123
Yes, we do.
360
00:15:45,158 --> 00:15:48,503
Well, that's a very private matter
and it's being handled privately.
361
00:15:48,566 --> 00:15:50,832
But what I do have is a question for you.
362
00:15:50,867 --> 00:15:53,433
Who are you voting for for mayor?
363
00:15:53,468 --> 00:15:56,204
Because I know I'm endorsing John Meeks.
364
00:15:56,239 --> 00:15:58,376
Don't you think it's time
365
00:15:58,411 --> 00:16:01,773
that New York had a mayor that
had the leadership qualities
366
00:16:01,851 --> 00:16:04,746
and the integrity of
someone like John Meeks?
367
00:16:04,781 --> 00:16:06,606
You see, he's not a criminal,
368
00:16:06,699 --> 00:16:08,183
like Angelo Dubois.
369
00:16:08,218 --> 00:16:11,252
He would never leave a
woman to drown in a car
370
00:16:11,287 --> 00:16:13,659
because he was trying to avoid a DUI.
371
00:16:13,745 --> 00:16:17,325
In fact, in honor of that young
woman who died so many years ago,
372
00:16:17,386 --> 00:16:21,353
I'm going to offer a $300,000 cash reward
373
00:16:21,439 --> 00:16:23,653
for anyone that has any information
374
00:16:23,688 --> 00:16:28,069
that can lead to the conviction
of Mr. "Dubious" Dubois.

388
00:17:26,529 --> 00:17:28,496
...couldn't nobody catch me.
389
00:17:28,531 --> 00:17:30,699

391

everything was high pressure.
392
00:17:38,174 --> 00:17:40,008
I felt like I was flying.
393
00:17:40,043 --> 00:17:42,481
I felt like I could
propel myself off the Earth
394

496
00:21:53,138 --> 00:21:56,678

501
00:22:07,705 --> 00:22:09,705
We got to find him, Lucious.
502
00:22:13,047 --> 00:22:16,990
Yeah, man, you're a genius, man. I want to
add a little bit more bass. Hey, Lucious,
503
00:22:17,025 --> 00:22:18,107
I'm glad you're here. I need your ear
504
00:22:18,142 --> 00:22:21,318
on this one. You know the
thing... What the hell?
505
00:22:21,392 --> 00:22:22,921
Get off me.
506
00:22:22,956 --> 00:22:24,961
Get... off...
507
00:22:25,000 --> 00:22:26,427
Where's my son, D?
508
00:22:26,462 --> 00:22:28,021
Your son is in rehab, Cookie.
509
00:22:28,060 --> 00:22:30,158
No, he left rehab, and I know
510
00:22:30,221 --> 00:22:32,132
you've been supplying him with his drugs.
511
00:22:32,167 --> 00:22:34,949
If my son ends up
O.D.'ing, your ass is dead.
512
00:22:34,984 --> 00:22:36,035
What are you talking about, Cookie?
513
00:22:36,070 --> 00:22:37,522
How you helping him by giving him drugs?
514
00:22:37,557 --> 00:22:39,196
He's in pain, and you know that.
515
00:22:39,237 --> 00:22:41,657
I couldn't just stand there
and watch him suffer like that.
516
00:22:41,720 --> 00:22:44,098
So you give him drugs.
Man, I'm sick of this.
517
00:22:44,133 --> 00:22:45,854
Lucious, I wouldn't do
nothing, man, I swear.
518
00:22:45,889 --> 00:22:46,998
Cookie, I found him! Look!
519
00:22:47,033 --> 00:22:49,674
Somebody posted a video on
Snapchat of him and Tory Ash.
520
00:22:51,552 --> 00:22:54,121
They over in some dirty-ass neighborhood.
521
00:22:54,156 --> 00:22:55,020
Or some crack house.
522
00:22:55,055 --> 00:22:57,169
Shut your ass up!
523
00:22:57,255 --> 00:22:58,953
I know where that is. Move!
524
00:23:05,599 --> 00:23:08,218
Why is Mrs. Walker in the backseat?
525
00:23:08,281 --> 00:23:09,657
Lucious wants me to
keep an eye on her
526
00:23:09,736 --> 00:23:11,455
until I can find her a babysitter.
527
00:23:11,533 --> 00:23:13,980
So explain to me again how,
528
00:23:14,058 --> 00:23:15,694
"Becky come on this run with me,"
529
00:23:15,797 --> 00:23:17,681
is gonna translate into you helping me out
530
00:23:17,727 --> 00:23:19,737
with that scumbag Xavier?
531
00:23:19,807 --> 00:23:21,513
I know how to handle scumbags.
532
00:23:21,548 --> 00:23:23,772
All right, take it easy,
Granny Gru. We know you do.
533
00:23:23,811 --> 00:23:25,328
Thirsty, what are we doing?
534
00:23:25,363 --> 00:23:27,394
We're just doing a favor for
a friend of Lucious. Sit tight.
535
00:23:27,429 --> 00:23:29,901
She coming in here?
536
00:23:29,963 --> 00:23:32,397
Becky, please, be nice.
537
00:23:32,534 --> 00:23:33,734
Mm-mm.
538
00:23:33,769 --> 00:23:35,035
Is that your friend?
539
00:23:35,070 --> 00:23:36,136
I don't know her.
540
00:23:36,171 --> 00:23:37,638
Here you go, man.
541
00:23:37,673 --> 00:23:39,106
- Good looking out.
- Thank you, sir.
542
00:23:41,410 --> 00:23:43,010
How you doing, Miss Gretchen?
543
00:23:43,045 --> 00:23:45,045
Oh, I can hardly wait to see my Bam-Bam.
544
00:23:45,080 --> 00:23:46,513
He's such a good son.
545
00:23:46,548 --> 00:23:49,049
He's moving me to a
nursing home in Arizona.
546
00:23:49,084 --> 00:23:50,084
That's good. Oh, he's a good boy.
547
00:23:50,119 --> 00:23:51,652
All right.
548
00:23:51,687 --> 00:23:53,654
My Dwight had me locked
up in one of those homes
549
00:23:53,689 --> 00:23:56,023
for over a hundred years.
550
00:23:56,058 --> 00:23:58,595
Those places are evil.
551
00:23:58,642 --> 00:23:59,360
Okay, okay...
552
00:23:59,462 --> 00:24:00,943
I know damn well you ain't got me
553
00:24:00,978 --> 00:24:03,864
out here helping you
kidnap these old ladies.
554
00:24:03,899 --> 00:24:05,733
I am not doing a bid for this.
555
00:24:05,768 --> 00:24:07,467
No, she just kidding, Gran. Just relax.
556
00:24:07,514 --> 00:24:08,902
Do I look like a kidnapper to you?
557
00:24:08,937 --> 00:24:10,913
- Yes.
- I'm a lawyer, thank you very much.
558
00:24:10,948 --> 00:24:13,075
All right? And I'm trying to
instruct you on the virtues
559
00:24:13,110 --> 00:24:15,442
of the perfectly-timed execution.
560
00:24:15,477 --> 00:24:17,845
For that, you need patience, Grasshopper.
561
00:24:17,880 --> 00:24:19,446
All right, buckle up, golden girls.
562
00:24:19,481 --> 00:24:21,382
You good back there?
You need the heat on?
563
00:24:21,417 --> 00:24:22,750

Your mother almost had a
heart attack looking for you.
603
00:26:22,213 --> 00:26:24,371
What y'all think? I'm recording a song.
604
00:26:24,406 --> 00:26:26,920
Look, I'm-a have Webb run
through this whole place.
605
00:26:27,005 --> 00:26:28,782
We find one speck of drugs...
606
00:26:28,860 --> 00:26:29,910
- That's right.
- Oh, my God.
607
00:26:29,945 --> 00:26:32,698
Dad, I said that I am
sober and clean, and I am.
608
00:26:32,784 --> 00:26:34,098
Then why did you leave rehab?
609
00:26:34,133 --> 00:26:36,541
Listen, what needs to happen right
now is we need to finish this song,
610
00:26:36,595 --> 00:26:37,851
so y'all need to just...
611
00:26:37,886 --> 00:26:40,285
What you need to do is shut up.
612
00:26:40,371 --> 00:26:41,555
- Oh, Lord...
- Bitch!
613
00:26:41,590 --> 00:26:43,101
- You know what... Ma, Ma!
- What you need
614
00:26:43,140 --> 00:26:44,525
- is your ass beat!
- Mom, please.
615
00:26:44,560 --> 00:26:45,699
- You don't want none of this.
- Please, please. No.
616
00:26:45,788 --> 00:26:46,991
- Yeah.
- She don't. She really don't.
617
00:26:47,026 --> 00:26:48,983
- Why do have to go to DEFCON...
- Please, stop. Ma, Dad!
618
00:26:49,018 --> 00:26:51,565
Mom, stop.
619
00:26:53,101 --> 00:26:55,126
Where I'm supposed to be
620
00:26:55,181 --> 00:26:56,937
and doing what I'm supposed
to be doing is right here.
621
00:26:56,972 --> 00:26:58,485
This is my rehab.
622
00:26:58,556 --> 00:27:00,255
Come on.
623
00:27:02,444 --> 00:27:04,211
Okay, finish your song.
624
00:27:04,246 --> 00:27:06,780
Thank you, Dad.
625
00:27:06,815 --> 00:27:09,349
I'm sorry. Come on.
626
00:27:09,384 --> 00:27:12,052
You can trust me, Ma. Come on.
627
00:27:12,087 --> 00:27:15,088
Come on, Cook.
628
00:27:15,123 --> 00:27:18,091
I'll be out here to take
you home when you're done.
629
00:27:21,370 --> 00:27:22,870
Sorry, y'all.
630
00:27:35,380 --> 00:27:36,846
Order up.
631
00:27:40,928 --> 00:27:42,027
Mama?
632
00:27:44,571 --> 00:27:45,779
Mama!
633
00:27:47,789 --> 00:27:49,889
Hey, Bam, don't leave just yet.
634
00:27:53,703 --> 00:27:57,131
L, man, let me explain.
635
00:27:57,186 --> 00:27:59,444
No, you don't speak.
636
00:27:59,482 --> 00:28:01,015
I speak.
637
00:28:17,128 --> 00:28:20,797
You see, I understand
how things happen, Bam.
638
00:28:20,832 --> 00:28:24,110
Me and the Feds both know that
every man has his weakness.
639
00:28:24,180 --> 00:28:27,770
And in your case, it's that sweet,
640
00:28:27,805 --> 00:28:31,207
loving woman out there that raised you
641
00:28:31,242 --> 00:28:35,111
and then raised your little
girl when you got locked up.
642
00:28:35,146 --> 00:28:38,614
But when you and I were locked up,
643
00:28:38,649 --> 00:28:42,318
I made a promise to take care of them.
644
00:28:42,353 --> 00:28:45,962
And I did everything I could
to help your little girl,
645
00:28:46,046 --> 00:28:47,681
but now that she's gone...
646
00:28:49,961 --> 00:28:52,795
...I still kept my word
and took care your mama.
647
00:28:52,830 --> 00:28:56,003
The same way you're gonna
remember your P's and Q's
648
00:28:56,093 --> 00:28:58,353
when you get in front of that grand jury.
649
00:29:00,705 --> 00:29:02,832
All right. Here you go.
650
00:29:08,346 --> 00:29:12,181
We got Bam-Bam's mother
home safe and sound.
651
00:29:12,216 --> 00:29:15,418
Granny Gru has gone
night-night, thank God.
652
00:29:15,453 --> 00:29:18,654
And I just dropped off
the care package at WZVX.
653
00:29:18,689 --> 00:29:21,424
Check, check and check.
654
00:29:21,459 --> 00:29:23,659
What, am I forgetting something?
655
00:29:23,694 --> 00:29:24,761
You forgetting me.
656
00:29:24,796 --> 00:29:25,995
Are you ser...
657
00:29:26,030 --> 00:29:29,730
You got me driving all over
Jersey on these dumbass errands.
658
00:29:29,765 --> 00:29:31,565
When are we gonna talk
about my problems though?
659
00:29:31,600 --> 00:29:33,903
All right, you know what?
Explain it to me, Hot Pocket.
660
00:29:33,938 --> 00:29:36,172
Why are you still stressing
out over that cornball Xavier?
661
00:29:36,207 --> 00:29:37,792
Yo, you don't get it.
662
00:29:37,827 --> 00:29:40,883
Ever since he got to Empire,
he's been all up in my face
663
00:29:40,918 --> 00:29:42,525
and doing shady stuff, talking about,
664
00:29:42,572 --> 00:29:45,510
"Oh, oh, it's just business,
it's just business."
665
00:29:45,572 --> 00:29:47,089
But acting like it's personal with me.
666
00:29:47,124 --> 00:29:48,551
There you go. Lesson one.
667
00:29:48,586 --> 00:29:50,553
It's business, of course.
668
00:29:50,588 --> 00:29:53,856
But no matter what anybody
tells you, it's always personal.
669
00:29:53,891 --> 00:29:56,235
Okay, so what I do?
670
00:29:56,878 --> 00:29:59,028
You know what, what more can you do?
671
00:29:59,063 --> 00:30:01,064
Yo.
672
00:30:01,099 --> 00:30:02,899
All right, relax, mama.
673
00:30:02,934 --> 00:30:04,767
That's not for you.
674
00:30:04,802 --> 00:30:07,036
Just let the universe work its magic.
675
00:30:07,071 --> 00:30:08,471
Okay?
676
00:30:08,506 --> 00:30:09,705
It's got you.
677
00:30:09,740 --> 00:30:11,707
Type of Shaolin monk bull...
678
00:30:11,742 --> 00:30:14,577
You know what? You have
wasted my entire day.
679
00:30:16,280 --> 00:30:17,865
Waste of time.
680
00:30:17,938 --> 00:30:19,538
Shaolin Wu-Tang.
681
00:30:22,120 --> 00:30:23,519
So Lucious Lyon wins again.
682
00:30:23,554 --> 00:30:25,625
You built this case up on one star witness,
683
00:30:25,660 --> 00:30:28,091
Bam-Bam King, who suddenly
refuses to testify.
684
00:30:28,154 --> 00:30:29,578
Yeah, Lyon must've got to him somehow.
685
00:30:29,641 --> 00:30:31,094
He murdered Frank Gathers,
and I can prove it.
686
00:30:31,129 --> 00:30:33,696
- I just need more time.
- Agent, your time is up; as of right now,
687
00:30:33,748 --> 00:30:35,385
you're off the case, 'cause it's closed.
688
00:30:35,420 --> 00:30:37,555
What? But I have more leads, sir.
689
00:30:37,590 --> 00:30:39,451
Any evidence against the target is tainted
690
00:30:39,486 --> 00:30:42,881
due to your omission of the fact
that he is your half-brother.
691
00:30:44,467 --> 00:30:46,438
I'm putting you on paid leave.
692
00:30:54,752 --> 00:30:57,261
Mr. Dubois' campaign got a
much needed breath of life
693
00:30:57,331 --> 00:31:00,211
when Jayce Jones came forward
to confirm that he served time
694
00:31:00,297 --> 00:31:02,425
for the manslaughter death of Carla Mills,
695
00:31:02,460 --> 00:31:04,961
who drowned in a lake over 20 years ago.
696
00:31:04,996 --> 00:31:06,696
And most important, that Angelo Dubois
697
00:31:06,731 --> 00:31:08,664
was nowhere near the
scene when it happened.
698
00:31:10,364 --> 00:31:11,934
God.
699
00:31:11,969 --> 00:31:13,669
Dad went so low.
700
00:31:13,704 --> 00:31:15,972
Are you surprised?
701
00:31:16,007 --> 00:31:18,073
Always and never.
702
00:31:19,210 --> 00:31:21,244
What?
703
00:31:24,215 --> 00:31:27,617
I'm gonna keep this short...
704
00:31:27,652 --> 00:31:29,214
and real.
705
00:31:30,704 --> 00:31:32,337
Are you a dope fiend?
706
00:31:41,098 --> 00:31:43,900
Look, I got caught up, Ma.
707
00:31:43,935 --> 00:31:46,602
I ain't even trying to run away from that.
708
00:31:46,637 --> 00:31:49,571
But I swear on my music and everything else
709
00:31:49,606 --> 00:31:51,507
that I've been fighting
back for since I came back
710
00:31:51,542 --> 00:31:55,178
from the bullet, I...
I'm done with the pills.
711
00:31:55,213 --> 00:31:56,913
Really.
712
00:31:56,948 --> 00:32:00,351
I'm so focused. I'm not even
trying to have any kind of substance
713
00:32:00,403 --> 00:32:01,607
mess with that.
714
00:32:04,288 --> 00:32:06,455
I'm happy to hear that, baby.
715
00:32:10,928 --> 00:32:13,829
Finally feels like
everything's gonna be all right.
716
00:32:13,864 --> 00:32:15,814
You're okay.
717
00:32:15,876 --> 00:32:18,676
Angelo's situation is settled.
718
00:32:18,739 --> 00:32:20,836
He's back on his campaign, so...
719
00:32:20,871 --> 00:32:22,705
Yeah, he's good, right?
720
00:32:22,740 --> 00:32:24,006
We'll see.
721
00:32:24,041 --> 00:32:26,152
I mean, it's politics; all
they got to do is say it,
722
00:32:26,191 --> 00:32:28,811
it sticks to you like stink.
723
00:32:30,881 --> 00:32:33,849
Lucious did all of that just for you.
724
00:32:37,021 --> 00:32:39,255
That is a twisted kind of love, man.
725
00:32:39,290 --> 00:32:41,457
I know he's planning his next move.
726
00:33:02,216 --> 00:33:03,895
Now, before we get started,
727
00:33:03,937 --> 00:33:07,066
let's take care of a
short order of business.
728
00:33:07,121 --> 00:33:08,284
Xavier.
729
00:33:08,319 --> 00:33:10,985
You're fired.
730
00:33:11,050 --> 00:33:13,271
- All right, let's go.
- Whoa, come on, man! What the hell?
731
00:33:13,306 --> 00:33:16,525
Let this serve as an example
for each and every one of you.
732
00:33:16,560 --> 00:33:18,868
If I catch anybody getting kickbacks,
733
00:33:18,946 --> 00:33:22,395
trust me, the next time you'll
get much more than fired.
734
00:33:22,485 --> 00:33:24,870
Mr. Lyon, Mr. Lyon, I would
never do that to you, man.
735
00:33:24,905 --> 00:33:27,069
- I swear to God, I'm innocent on this!
- Innocent?
736
00:33:27,150 --> 00:33:29,891
Tell that to the program
director over at WZVX.
737
00:33:29,962 --> 00:33:31,474
You run a sloppy business, man, sloppy.
738
00:33:31,509 --> 00:33:33,252
Come on, now, that's a lie! Becky!
739
00:33:33,336 --> 00:33:35,544
Becky, you know me. All right? You know me.
740
00:33:35,579 --> 00:33:36,984
You need to vouch for me. Come on.
741
00:33:37,062 --> 00:33:40,063
I don't know you, man. It's just business.
742
00:33:40,184 --> 00:33:41,217
"Just business"?
743
00:33:41,252 --> 00:33:42,251
Bye.
744
00:33:42,286 --> 00:33:44,220
Yo, I'm innocent, man!
745
00:33:44,255 --> 00:33:46,068
Yo, I didn't do this!
746
00:33:46,130 --> 00:33:48,245
Get off me!
747
00:33:48,280 --> 00:33:49,318
Go on out of here.
748
00:33:49,353 --> 00:33:51,294
Now that the fireworks are over,
749
00:33:51,329 --> 00:33:53,260
I'm sure you've all heard my announcement
750
00:33:53,307 --> 00:33:57,223
about Inferno, even though
it may have been muffled a bit by
751
00:33:57,310 --> 00:33:59,286
- certain people in this room.
- Uh, Lucious, look,
752
00:33:59,341 --> 00:34:00,503
everyone in this room
753
00:34:00,538 --> 00:34:02,171
is very busy, so if you could go ahead,
754
00:34:02,206 --> 00:34:04,340
and finish what you have to say, thank you.
755
00:34:04,375 --> 00:34:05,841
I'm getting there.
756
00:34:08,414 --> 00:34:12,048
We are Lyons; therefore, we roar.
757
00:34:12,118 --> 00:34:14,801
So from this point forward,
each and every employee
758
00:34:14,836 --> 00:34:17,169
of this company, their number one priority
759
00:34:17,204 --> 00:34:21,973
is to make sure that
Inferno is what it should be.
760
00:34:22,008 --> 00:34:23,862
It's an album I'm producing.
761
00:34:23,948 --> 00:34:27,096
I'm going to have the top
artists from Empire on it,
762
00:34:27,131 --> 00:34:29,185
and I'm hoping that my son, Jamal,
763
00:34:29,255 --> 00:34:31,282
will bless me with a song.
764
00:34:31,329 --> 00:34:34,036
Now, seeing that the
position of head of A&R
765
00:34:34,071 --> 00:34:35,743
has recently just opened,
766
00:34:35,814 --> 00:34:39,039
I decided to fill it with
someone that I feel is
767
00:34:39,133 --> 00:34:41,444
worthy of such a position.
768
00:34:42,537 --> 00:34:44,472
And as a result of being in this position,
769
00:34:44,526 --> 00:34:48,050
she's come to be under a
great deal of anguish and fire
770
00:34:48,085 --> 00:34:49,757
from me because she's been
771
00:34:49,796 --> 00:34:52,521
my biggest critic, which in turn turned her
772
00:34:52,556 --> 00:34:56,826
into my greatest ally,
and she's very loyal.
773
00:34:56,861 --> 00:35:00,563
And I was so hesitant to
appoint her in this position
774
00:35:00,598 --> 00:35:03,879
because I didn't want to take her
away from her first responsibility,
775
00:35:03,914 --> 00:35:07,403
and that's the job of being a mother.
776
00:35:07,438 --> 00:35:10,388
But she will serve me as she has for years,
777
00:35:10,459 --> 00:35:15,568
as my muse who has lit
an inferno inside of me.
778
00:35:15,603 --> 00:35:17,789
She is the DNA of this company,
779
00:35:17,859 --> 00:35:22,184
my wife, Mrs. Anika Lyon.
780
00:35:26,223 --> 00:35:27,635
Your new head of A&R.
781
00:35:27,685 --> 00:35:28,618
Thank you.
782
00:35:30,194 --> 00:35:32,127
Thank you.
783
00:35:38,465 --> 00:35:39,764
Congrats.
784
00:35:45,543 --> 00:35:47,630
Come on. Take your seat.
785
00:35:47,706 --> 00:35:49,614
Ha! Nice and warm for you.
786
00:36:15,288 --> 00:36:19,634
Mm, mm-mm, that is fire, Lucious.
787
00:36:19,708 --> 00:36:22,075
Yeah, "Inferno."
788
00:36:22,127 --> 00:36:23,593
The name fits.
789
00:36:23,991 --> 00:36:26,080
What, you want some trouble, Cookie?
790
00:36:26,122 --> 00:36:30,276
No, no, I-I don't want
no trouble, Lucious.
791
00:36:30,311 --> 00:36:33,212
I just have some questions, is all.
792
00:36:35,185 --> 00:36:38,056
Like, this-this album right here.
793
00:36:38,091 --> 00:36:41,960
This was your first album to go gold.
794
00:36:41,995 --> 00:36:45,264
Now, I remember working on that six months
795
00:36:45,299 --> 00:36:48,433
before I went to prison.
796
00:36:48,468 --> 00:36:51,937
So, whose DNA is in that, Lucious? Huh?
797
00:36:57,110 --> 00:37:00,177
DNA. Boy, please.
798
00:37:02,115 --> 00:37:04,750
Ain't nothing but a hood rat.
799
00:37:12,125 --> 00:37:14,860
All right.
800
00:37:14,895 --> 00:37:16,394
Let's play.
801
00:37:23,303 --> 00:37:26,872
Did I tell you, I watched you on TV
802
00:37:26,907 --> 00:37:29,174
in that dirty-ass rec room
803
00:37:29,209 --> 00:37:34,196
in Danbury when Empire's
first album was inducted
804
00:37:34,261 --> 00:37:37,115
into the Music Hall of Fame.
805
00:37:41,488 --> 00:37:43,121
Who was your muse for that?
806
00:37:43,156 --> 00:37:44,289
You done, bitch?
807
00:37:44,324 --> 00:37:46,525
Huh, Lucious? Don't you come any closer.
808
00:37:46,560 --> 00:37:48,760
Put it down.
809
00:37:48,795 --> 00:37:51,291
Who was your muse on that, huh?!
810
00:37:51,326 --> 00:37:53,732
Who was your muse, Lucious?
811
00:37:53,767 --> 00:37:56,501
Oh, do you remember this one?
812
00:37:56,536 --> 00:37:57,769
Because I do.
813
00:37:57,804 --> 00:38:00,437
Yeah, I sent tapes from the inside
814
00:38:00,499 --> 00:38:03,575
back and forth with you while
you worked on them out here.
815
00:38:06,680 --> 00:38:09,081
Oh! And this one.
816
00:38:09,116 --> 00:38:11,650
This is when you stopped
coming to visit me.
817
00:38:11,685 --> 00:38:13,385
It was weak.
818
00:38:13,420 --> 00:38:15,086
All the critics said so.
819
00:38:18,717 --> 00:38:20,659
Yeah, get up.
820
00:38:20,694 --> 00:38:23,576
None of this would've existed without me!
821
00:38:23,611 --> 00:38:26,632
Not those gold records! Not those plaques!
822
00:38:26,667 --> 00:38:28,400
Not this studio!
823
00:38:28,435 --> 00:38:29,782
None of it!
824
00:38:29,817 --> 00:38:32,671
So you tell me, Lucious.
825
00:38:32,706 --> 00:38:34,929
Tell me whose DNA is
running all through it?
826
00:38:34,964 --> 00:38:35,911
Huh?
827
00:38:35,946 --> 00:38:39,678
Who's the mother with the
important job, Lucious?!
828
00:38:39,713 --> 00:38:40,679
You tell me.
829
00:38:40,714 --> 00:38:44,416
I gave you three sons, bitch, three sons!
830
00:38:44,451 --> 00:38:46,284
I had a miscarriage.
831
00:38:47,287 --> 00:38:51,623
I went to jail for 17 years
so you could build this!
832
00:38:52,903 --> 00:38:55,090
So you could build this Empire!
833
00:38:58,398 --> 00:38:59,598
Yeah, follow me!
834
00:38:59,633 --> 00:39:02,285
I'll show you whose DNA is in here.
835
00:39:02,320 --> 00:39:03,902
Okay, now you die!
836
00:39:03,937 --> 00:39:07,172
You said Lyons roar?
Well, let me hear you roar.
837
00:39:07,207 --> 00:39:09,874
Yeah, I came here to make a lot of noise.
838
00:39:11,111 --> 00:39:13,578
Now you die!
839
00:39:14,881 --> 00:39:16,181
Go home.
840
00:39:19,886 --> 00:39:21,853
I'm just getting started.
841
00:40:06,433 --> 00:40:09,601
Trying to erase me, Lucious?
842
00:40:09,636 --> 00:40:11,102
Huh?
843
00:40:15,342 --> 00:40:17,275
After all I done for you.
844
00:40:17,310 --> 00:40:21,546
I did 17 years for this family.
845
00:40:21,581 --> 00:40:23,815
You built this company on my back.
846
00:40:28,522 --> 00:40:30,922
And you just gonna give it to that bitch.
847
00:40:30,957 --> 00:40:32,624
Is that your plan, Lucious?
848
00:40:32,659 --> 00:40:35,293
Huh?!
849
00:40:37,030 --> 00:40:38,196
Let go of me!
850
00:40:38,231 --> 00:40:40,098
Stop.
851
00:42:22,083 --> 00:42:24,135
Mm-mm.
852
00:42:24,170 --> 00:42:26,037
No.
853
00:42:26,072 --> 00:42:29,641
I said I was done with you.
854
00:42:29,676 --> 00:42:31,709
I meant that.
855
00:42:58,444 --> 00:43:03,444
