1
00:00:16,970 --> 00:00:20,027
- Previously on Empire...
- I broke the law for your ass!
2
00:00:20,028 --> 00:00:22,296
The illegal handgun!
The parole violation!
3
00:00:22,297 --> 00:00:24,765
- Angelo. -...that you still
have feelings for that greasy...
4
00:00:24,766 --> 00:00:25,833
Hot mic, baby!
5
00:00:25,834 --> 00:00:27,134
You saved my life.
6
00:00:27,135 --> 00:00:30,404
That is why I'm fighting
so hard to get you back.
7
00:00:30,405 --> 00:00:32,306
While Lucious continues his sabbatical,
8
00:00:32,307 --> 00:00:34,241
we will produce a new
album for every year
9
00:00:34,242 --> 00:00:35,909
we have been in operation.
10
00:00:35,910 --> 00:00:39,613
Detective Pamela Rose.
I'm the NYPD liaison.
11
00:00:39,614 --> 00:00:42,216
- You trying to set me up?
- No. I didn't even know who you were.
12
00:00:42,217 --> 00:00:44,284
- So it was a coincidence.
- Mrs. Calhoun
13
00:00:44,285 --> 00:00:47,154
has been afraid to come forward
because she fears for her life.
14
00:00:47,155 --> 00:00:49,856
There's not a jury in the
world that will find her guilty.
15
00:00:57,532 --> 00:01:00,241
Well, there he is. Looking good.
16
00:01:00,242 --> 00:01:03,011
Exercising while Claudia has a day off.
17
00:01:03,012 --> 00:01:04,579
Claudia...
18
00:01:04,580 --> 00:01:07,482
prescribed that I do
this for 30 minutes a day.
19
00:01:07,483 --> 00:01:09,417
I've already knocked out 45.
20
00:01:09,418 --> 00:01:11,352
That is excellent. Yeah, we're all here
21
00:01:11,353 --> 00:01:14,122
to support you and help you
with your rehab while she's gone.
22
00:01:14,123 --> 00:01:17,091
She left us an extensive
list. Believe that.
23
00:01:17,092 --> 00:01:19,227
Yeah, how's the, uh, leg, Pop?
24
00:01:19,228 --> 00:01:21,029
It's getting strong, son.
25
00:01:21,030 --> 00:01:22,363
Looking good, Dad.
26
00:01:22,364 --> 00:01:23,998
Thank you.
27
00:01:23,999 --> 00:01:26,534
Who's really looking good is your mother.
28
00:01:26,535 --> 00:01:28,937
You're looking especially lovely today.
29
00:01:28,938 --> 00:01:30,505
Oh.
30
00:01:30,506 --> 00:01:32,106
Well, I have a photo shoot.
31
00:01:32,107 --> 00:01:33,675
Ma just made Forbes magazine's
32
00:01:33,676 --> 00:01:35,840
100 Most Powerful Women in Business.
33
00:01:35,841 --> 00:01:38,212
Just pictures in magazines, y'all.
34
00:01:38,213 --> 00:01:39,948
Uh-uh, don't sell yourself
short. You should own it, Ma.
35
00:01:39,949 --> 00:01:41,749
Yeah, well, while I'm
taking pretty pictures,
36
00:01:41,750 --> 00:01:44,385
I need to be getting
20 For 20 on its feet.
37
00:01:44,386 --> 00:01:46,788
Well, congratulations
38
00:01:46,789 --> 00:01:48,523
- with Forbes.
- Thank you.
39
00:01:48,524 --> 00:01:50,625
But what I think y'all need to...
40
00:01:50,626 --> 00:01:54,929
y'all see that, I did a
conjugation of "you" and "all"?
41
00:01:54,930 --> 00:01:57,131
Like Lucious.
42
00:01:57,132 --> 00:01:59,434
What I need you guys to do
43
00:01:59,435 --> 00:02:02,737
is to stop tiptoeing around me.
44
00:02:02,738 --> 00:02:06,140
If I'm gonna get any
better, I need you guys...
45
00:02:06,141 --> 00:02:09,711
Leah said that I was a m...
46
00:02:09,712 --> 00:02:11,112
said I was a monster,
47
00:02:11,113 --> 00:02:13,047
so I need to know what I did
48
00:02:13,048 --> 00:02:16,084
to each of you individually that
made you guys call me a monster.
49
00:02:16,085 --> 00:02:18,019
No.
50
00:02:18,020 --> 00:02:20,054
No. We're not gonna do
this right now, Lucious.
51
00:02:20,055 --> 00:02:21,422
You need to finish your rehab.
52
00:02:21,423 --> 00:02:23,124
You're doing so good.
53
00:02:23,125 --> 00:02:24,592
Well, you punched me in the face.
54
00:02:24,593 --> 00:02:25,994
One shot, square.
55
00:02:25,995 --> 00:02:28,963
I'm so sorry, but I mean...
56
00:02:28,964 --> 00:02:31,332
why would I punch you in the face?
57
00:02:31,333 --> 00:02:33,267
Mm-mm.
58
00:02:33,268 --> 00:02:34,702
Jamal.
59
00:02:38,907 --> 00:02:41,776
I mean, Dad, it's not
gonna help anything.
60
00:02:41,777 --> 00:02:43,311
It's gonna help me.
61
00:02:43,312 --> 00:02:45,446
- Tell him the trash can story.
- Hakeem, shut up.
62
00:02:45,447 --> 00:02:48,049
No, boy, we are not doing that.
63
00:02:49,785 --> 00:02:53,588
Look, okay, Cookie, you keep saying, uh,
64
00:02:53,589 --> 00:02:56,457
you were gone for 17 years.
65
00:02:56,458 --> 00:02:58,126
Why'd you leave?
66
00:03:07,269 --> 00:03:10,037
I-I got to go to work.
67
00:03:13,876 --> 00:03:19,734
Subtitle sync and corrections by
awaqeded for www.addic7ed.com.
68
00:03:25,562 --> 00:03:29,298
Just think of it as an
inverse Wizard of Oz,
69
00:03:29,299 --> 00:03:30,962
and the Lyon brothers
70
00:03:30,963 --> 00:03:34,249
are the Scarecrow, the Tin
Man and the Cowardly Lion.
71
00:03:34,997 --> 00:03:39,118
We will deprive each of
the thing he cherishes most.
72
00:03:39,119 --> 00:03:41,720
I'm assuming Andre is the Scarecrow.
73
00:03:41,721 --> 00:03:44,223
And his brain is his
most prized possession,
74
00:03:44,224 --> 00:03:47,893
so your charge, Lana,
is to disabuse him of it.
75
00:03:47,894 --> 00:03:49,361
Hmm.
76
00:03:49,362 --> 00:03:51,730
Well, as for the Tin Man,
77
00:03:51,731 --> 00:03:55,134
I think I finally got
him to open up his heart.
78
00:03:55,135 --> 00:03:58,904
Yes. I am going to enjoy
watching Miss Cookie
79
00:03:58,905 --> 00:04:03,475
stand helplessly by as you
snatch it from his chest.
80
00:04:03,476 --> 00:04:06,578
Good job. I'll meet
with Hakeem later today.
81
00:04:06,579 --> 00:04:10,200
Oh, he so aptly fits the
role of the Cowardly Lion.
82
00:04:10,201 --> 00:04:12,536
Now, what's left for me to do?
83
00:04:12,537 --> 00:04:13,937
Take out Toto?
84
00:04:16,174 --> 00:04:17,341
Take out...
85
00:04:18,977 --> 00:04:20,611
Angelo, you are drunk.
86
00:04:21,546 --> 00:04:25,582
Well... least I ain't no whore.
87
00:04:25,583 --> 00:04:27,017
You little slut.
88
00:04:28,219 --> 00:04:30,354
You know, Scotch and jealousy
89
00:04:30,355 --> 00:04:32,890
are making you show your ass, Angelo.
90
00:04:32,891 --> 00:04:34,425
It's pretty, ain't it?
91
00:04:34,426 --> 00:04:36,427
You know what? Maybe I need to kick yours
92
00:04:36,428 --> 00:04:38,529
- back to San Diego wh...
- That's enough.
93
00:04:38,530 --> 00:04:40,731
- Mama.
- It is time for you to put
94
00:04:40,732 --> 00:04:43,734
this floundering self-pity to rest.
95
00:04:43,735 --> 00:04:46,003
You are responsible for
this family's involvement
96
00:04:46,004 --> 00:04:47,571
with these loathsome creatures.
97
00:04:47,572 --> 00:04:49,306
So get a grip, Angelo.
98
00:04:49,307 --> 00:04:52,910
Find a place in the universe
and create a role for yourself.
99
00:04:59,751 --> 00:05:00,951
Oh.
100
00:05:00,952 --> 00:05:02,252
Good.
101
00:05:02,253 --> 00:05:04,621
Okay. Perfect.
102
00:05:04,622 --> 00:05:05,989
Now let's get you in the chair.
103
00:05:05,990 --> 00:05:07,825
Uh...
104
00:05:07,826 --> 00:05:09,626
N... That's Lucious' chair.
105
00:05:09,627 --> 00:05:12,329
Empire is the hottest company
in the entertainment space,
106
00:05:12,330 --> 00:05:14,097
and you are the shooting star.
107
00:05:14,098 --> 00:05:16,567
Revel in it, girl, you belong here.
108
00:05:28,847 --> 00:05:30,481
Ah, perfect.
109
00:05:30,482 --> 00:05:32,483
Okay. Now let's get a profile.
110
00:05:32,484 --> 00:05:33,717
Turn to your left.
111
00:05:36,688 --> 00:05:39,189
Turn to the left.
112
00:05:46,364 --> 00:05:48,665
Uh, I'm sorry, I have a meeting.
113
00:05:48,666 --> 00:05:50,534
Oh. You got an empire to run.
114
00:05:50,535 --> 00:05:52,870
- What? -We'll see you later
with the other Power Women.
115
00:05:52,871 --> 00:05:54,404
Okay.
116
00:05:55,473 --> 00:05:57,508
Ah, Cookie, these are gonna be fabulous.
117
00:05:57,509 --> 00:06:00,677
- Great. -So, after your meeting,
you go to the bank, right?
118
00:06:00,678 --> 00:06:02,980
- Mm-hmm. -'Cause 20 For 20
might've got you into Forbes,
119
00:06:02,981 --> 00:06:05,315
but when you sign for that
$100 million line of credit,
120
00:06:05,316 --> 00:06:06,585
we'll have the horsepower to pay for it.
121
00:06:06,586 --> 00:06:08,385
I don't understand
122
00:06:08,386 --> 00:06:10,420
why we have to take out
a loan when we're loaded.
123
00:06:10,421 --> 00:06:11,822
Yeah, loaded, not liquid.
124
00:06:11,823 --> 00:06:13,223
The board will never approve of us
125
00:06:13,224 --> 00:06:15,459
spending our own money, Ma.
126
00:06:15,460 --> 00:06:17,661
Now, don't worry, I know
my way around bankers.
127
00:06:17,662 --> 00:06:20,163
You just follow my lead.
128
00:06:20,164 --> 00:06:22,265
Yeah, yeah.
129
00:06:26,070 --> 00:06:27,337
Come here, Dad.
130
00:06:28,306 --> 00:06:30,541
Man, check this out.
131
00:06:30,542 --> 00:06:34,444
This is a song that you
and me wrote together.
132
00:06:34,445 --> 00:06:36,079
When?
133
00:06:36,080 --> 00:06:37,514
When? Well, like a year ago.
134
00:06:49,527 --> 00:06:52,863
That's really nice.
135
00:06:52,864 --> 00:06:55,032
See, I find this whole songwriting thing
136
00:06:55,033 --> 00:06:57,067
so fascinating. I mean,
how does it happen?
137
00:06:57,068 --> 00:06:59,436
Do you just, you know,
sit down at the piano,
138
00:06:59,437 --> 00:07:02,773
- and it just happen, or you...?
- I mean, sometimes.
139
00:07:02,774 --> 00:07:04,708
I mean, other times, it's...
140
00:07:04,709 --> 00:07:06,910
comes from when you're running or walking
141
00:07:06,911 --> 00:07:09,346
or driving or sleeping.
142
00:07:09,347 --> 00:07:12,783
And I write, so it's-it's
a lyric or a melody,
143
00:07:12,784 --> 00:07:15,619
and you just stack it, and
start adding instruments and...
144
00:07:15,620 --> 00:07:16,820
What's all of this for?
145
00:07:16,821 --> 00:07:18,922
That's sheet music.
146
00:07:18,923 --> 00:07:22,125
Well, how do you get
it to be in the record?
147
00:07:22,126 --> 00:07:24,461
In order to make a, a record,
148
00:07:24,462 --> 00:07:27,931
you-you got to go into
a studio and record it.
149
00:07:27,932 --> 00:07:29,900
I want to see that.
150
00:07:29,901 --> 00:07:31,268
Take me to the studio, then.
151
00:07:32,937 --> 00:07:35,238
No, man, it... that's-that's at Empire.
152
00:07:35,239 --> 00:07:36,740
Then take me to Empire.
153
00:07:49,253 --> 00:07:50,787
Come on.
154
00:07:50,788 --> 00:07:52,489
We good, right?
155
00:07:52,490 --> 00:07:54,458
'Cause no one can see him, no
one can know that he's here.
156
00:07:54,459 --> 00:07:55,792
This is what I do, all right?
157
00:07:55,793 --> 00:07:58,095
- All right.
- Looking good, Lucious.
158
00:08:00,698 --> 00:08:03,066
Thurston. Thirsty?
159
00:08:03,067 --> 00:08:04,401
Thirsty.
160
00:08:04,402 --> 00:08:06,103
- That's a wonderful name.
- Yeah.
161
00:08:08,106 --> 00:08:09,873
Look, you really don't remember me, boss?
162
00:08:09,874 --> 00:08:11,708
Or are you just, you know,
rocking us all to sleep,
163
00:08:11,709 --> 00:08:13,844
pulling the Lucious Lyon move?
164
00:08:13,845 --> 00:08:16,947
Well, I would think
if I remembered anyone,
165
00:08:16,948 --> 00:08:20,050
it would be someone dressed
as smooth as you dress.
166
00:08:20,985 --> 00:08:23,086
Yeah, okay.
167
00:08:24,022 --> 00:08:25,889
We good, come on.
168
00:08:25,890 --> 00:08:27,190
Does he always dress like that?
169
00:08:27,191 --> 00:08:28,792
Every damn day.
170
00:08:31,532 --> 00:08:32,862
And, so if you'll turn
171
00:08:32,863 --> 00:08:34,028
your attention to the chart,
172
00:08:34,029 --> 00:08:35,930
you'll see the way we
intend to track progress
173
00:08:35,931 --> 00:08:38,666
on every album in 20 For 20.
174
00:08:38,667 --> 00:08:41,741
We are tracking artists,
producers, budgets
175
00:08:41,742 --> 00:08:42,859
and more importantly,
176
00:08:42,860 --> 00:08:45,244
whether or not you are
hitting your milestones.
177
00:08:45,245 --> 00:08:47,113
And you better damn well hit 'em.
178
00:08:47,114 --> 00:08:48,681
Or you're gonna hit bricks.
179
00:08:48,682 --> 00:08:51,350
Look, people, we don't
have time to waste here
180
00:08:51,351 --> 00:08:53,186
or room for error.
181
00:08:53,187 --> 00:08:55,888
You got to think about this
like a, a military operation.
182
00:08:55,889 --> 00:08:59,492
- Absolutely. - Continue.
- Like Operation Cookie, huh?
183
00:08:59,493 --> 00:09:02,261
Shine, you know they say you shouldn't
184
00:09:02,262 --> 00:09:04,630
show up to a meeting that
can start without you.
185
00:09:04,631 --> 00:09:07,867
But since you and your goons are here,
186
00:09:07,868 --> 00:09:10,970
there's your spot.
187
00:09:13,807 --> 00:09:16,042
One album?
188
00:09:16,043 --> 00:09:17,106
What's...? Nah.
189
00:09:17,107 --> 00:09:19,375
You may have a chart and
a schedule full of ones,
190
00:09:19,376 --> 00:09:21,577
but I ain't a one.
191
00:09:21,578 --> 00:09:22,745
Ask Lucious, he know.
192
00:09:22,746 --> 00:09:24,180
And Lucious ain't here.
193
00:09:24,181 --> 00:09:26,415
I'm running this.
194
00:09:26,416 --> 00:09:28,284
Look, I'm-a get back
to running my empire.
195
00:09:28,285 --> 00:09:29,752
That'll give you plenty of time
196
00:09:29,753 --> 00:09:32,021
to get that mangy mutt
out of my workplace.
197
00:09:32,022 --> 00:09:33,756
- Hey, he goes where I go.
- Yeah.
198
00:09:33,757 --> 00:09:35,891
I was talking to the dog, Shine.
199
00:09:35,892 --> 00:09:37,359
Hey, I own a stake in this company.
200
00:09:37,360 --> 00:09:39,028
I got a seat on the board, Cookie.
201
00:09:39,029 --> 00:09:40,596
One album is not enough!
202
00:09:40,597 --> 00:09:42,732
I give this speech to all the newbies.
203
00:09:42,733 --> 00:09:44,366
It's not complicated, but still,
204
00:09:44,367 --> 00:09:46,302
only some of you get
it, most of you don't.
205
00:09:46,303 --> 00:09:48,070
If you're in the former,
you'll do all right.
206
00:09:48,071 --> 00:09:49,405
You're in the latter, you won't.
207
00:09:49,406 --> 00:09:51,874
Trust me, you'll learn the hard way.
208
00:09:51,875 --> 00:09:54,543
Hey, quiet down now!
209
00:09:54,544 --> 00:09:56,145
Hey!
210
00:09:57,547 --> 00:09:59,415
You're cute.
211
00:09:59,416 --> 00:10:01,717
But you're a street
chick, you know the drill.
212
00:10:01,718 --> 00:10:05,788
Keep your head down, nose
clean and your mouth shut.
213
00:10:05,789 --> 00:10:07,990
Most important:
214
00:10:07,991 --> 00:10:11,060
tiny little thing like you
wants to survive in here,
215
00:10:11,061 --> 00:10:13,929
do not ever forget that
every last one of those ladies
216
00:10:13,930 --> 00:10:15,865
will just as soon smile at you
217
00:10:15,866 --> 00:10:18,834
as slice a buck 50 across
your pretty little face.
218
00:10:20,537 --> 00:10:24,740
Oh. And if you need anything,
just dial nine for room service.
219
00:10:27,110 --> 00:10:30,579
Look, Shine, this ain't got
to be a pissing contest, okay?
220
00:10:30,580 --> 00:10:31,914
Well, you made it one.
221
00:10:31,915 --> 00:10:34,016
Coming at me with that
one album nonsense.
222
00:10:34,017 --> 00:10:36,385
You know, Lucious wouldn't
disrespect me like that.
223
00:10:36,386 --> 00:10:38,721
Lucious ain't here right now, is he?
224
00:10:38,722 --> 00:10:40,356
Yeah, apparently not.
225
00:10:40,357 --> 00:10:43,259
How come he ain't shown
his face since that concert?
226
00:10:43,260 --> 00:10:44,894
Because nunya, that's why.
227
00:10:44,895 --> 00:10:47,563
Look, since you're acting all concerned,
228
00:10:47,564 --> 00:10:52,067
he is focusing on his
rehabilitation right now.
229
00:10:53,637 --> 00:10:55,671
What you want, Shine?
230
00:10:56,640 --> 00:10:59,008
Ten albums.
231
00:10:59,009 --> 00:11:00,509
Boy, this meeting is over.
232
00:11:00,510 --> 00:11:02,344
Ain't nobody got time for your nonsense.
233
00:11:02,345 --> 00:11:05,614
We both know 20 For 20 is
just a roll of the dice.
234
00:11:05,615 --> 00:11:07,683
I'm the only one you got left here
235
00:11:07,684 --> 00:11:09,551
that knows how to produce a banger.
236
00:11:12,956 --> 00:11:14,456
Okay, three.
237
00:11:16,393 --> 00:11:17,960
Something wrong with your calculator.
238
00:11:17,961 --> 00:11:19,128
How's that?
239
00:11:19,129 --> 00:11:21,230
That's nowhere next to
my 25% of the company.
240
00:11:22,666 --> 00:11:24,266
Seven.
241
00:11:24,267 --> 00:11:26,535
And Studio 3 on permanent
lockdown until I'm done.
242
00:11:28,471 --> 00:11:30,339
Five. And that's a quarter,
243
00:11:30,340 --> 00:11:33,008
since you want to throw
percentages around.
244
00:11:33,009 --> 00:11:35,477
First dibs on Studio 3, no lock.
245
00:11:35,478 --> 00:11:37,646
I got 15 other albums
to produce. Are we good?
246
00:11:37,647 --> 00:11:41,684
That's that biblical
wisdom I'm talking about.
247
00:11:41,685 --> 00:11:44,186
I'm impressed.
248
00:11:44,187 --> 00:11:45,688
I can live with five.
249
00:11:45,689 --> 00:11:47,523
Good.
250
00:11:47,524 --> 00:11:50,226
You're gonna do fine here, Cookie.
251
00:11:50,227 --> 00:11:51,994
And tell Lucious not to hurry back.
252
00:11:51,995 --> 00:11:53,696
- I like working with you.
- Mm-hmm.
253
00:11:53,697 --> 00:11:55,898
Yeah, I hope I like these five you got.
254
00:11:59,936 --> 00:12:02,838
You ready for the weekend update?
255
00:12:02,839 --> 00:12:05,708
My-my people had the
incorrect Intel on Giuliana.
256
00:12:05,709 --> 00:12:09,311
I mean... we-we looked under
every rock, nook and cranny.
257
00:12:09,312 --> 00:12:10,980
Even went through a
couple of crack houses.
258
00:12:10,981 --> 00:12:13,549
Now... I don't know, it's like
somebody beat us to the punch.
259
00:12:13,550 --> 00:12:14,717
I mean, this chick is ghost.
260
00:12:14,718 --> 00:12:16,819
Maybe you need new people.
261
00:12:19,256 --> 00:12:22,057
Yeah, you ain't lying on that. Maybe.
262
00:12:22,058 --> 00:12:24,260
Drinking in the afternoon, huh?
263
00:12:24,261 --> 00:12:26,161
You all right? You're good?
264
00:12:26,162 --> 00:12:27,897
What else, Thirsty?
265
00:12:27,898 --> 00:12:31,700
Well, I mean, you know, Vegas
Metro can't find her, either.
266
00:12:31,701 --> 00:12:34,603
So the investigation
continues, which is good.
267
00:12:34,604 --> 00:12:37,339
But they-they want someone
to corroborate your statement.
268
00:12:37,340 --> 00:12:39,742
There is nobody else.
269
00:12:39,743 --> 00:12:41,777
Just me and Giuliana.
270
00:12:41,778 --> 00:12:43,812
And the guy she was
popping off to, right?
271
00:12:45,649 --> 00:12:48,317
Yeah, man, I copy. I get it.
272
00:12:48,318 --> 00:12:51,197
I mean, you know, but this is,
this is a high-profile case.
273
00:12:51,198 --> 00:12:52,939
All right? The police are
under a lot of pressure.
274
00:12:52,940 --> 00:12:54,485
They're not saying you're lying,
275
00:12:54,486 --> 00:12:55,934
but they just want some confirmation
276
00:12:55,935 --> 00:12:57,276
that they're on the right track.
277
00:12:57,277 --> 00:13:02,015
How about the fact that
Giuliana is missing?
278
00:13:02,016 --> 00:13:03,449
How about that?
279
00:13:03,450 --> 00:13:06,919
How about that? All right.
280
00:13:06,920 --> 00:13:11,324
I mean, you... you're preaching
to the converted, boss man.
281
00:13:11,325 --> 00:13:13,826
I will relay the message to 'em,
282
00:13:13,827 --> 00:13:16,329
without the attitude, of course.
283
00:13:16,330 --> 00:13:18,197
But we're on the same page, right?
284
00:13:18,198 --> 00:13:19,832
Absolutely.
285
00:13:19,833 --> 00:13:22,602
Yeah. All right. I'm on it.
286
00:13:38,152 --> 00:13:40,620
May I talk to you, Detective?
287
00:13:44,358 --> 00:13:46,959
Right outside the station.
288
00:13:46,960 --> 00:13:49,195
My, aren't we bold?
289
00:13:49,196 --> 00:13:52,465
So, you don't like it when I
show up at your office, huh?
290
00:13:52,466 --> 00:13:54,267
I wonder what would happen
if one of your colleagues
291
00:13:54,268 --> 00:13:55,635
saw you talking to a suspect.
292
00:13:55,636 --> 00:13:58,538
Who says you're a suspect?
293
00:14:03,143 --> 00:14:05,578
Fine.
294
00:14:05,579 --> 00:14:07,763
You want to know why
Giuliana Green is missing,
295
00:14:07,764 --> 00:14:08,894
I'll tell you why.
296
00:14:08,895 --> 00:14:11,384
Because anyone who is stupid enough
297
00:14:11,385 --> 00:14:12,919
to try and kill my father
298
00:14:12,920 --> 00:14:15,655
is safer in hiding than
facing his kind of justice.
299
00:14:15,656 --> 00:14:19,125
Now, I told the Vegas
Police everything I know.
300
00:14:19,126 --> 00:14:21,494
You're the one pushing
them to keep questioning me
301
00:14:21,495 --> 00:14:22,963
when they should be trying
302
00:14:22,964 --> 00:14:24,731
to find my father's would-be killer.
303
00:14:27,368 --> 00:14:29,469
You're perspiring.
304
00:14:29,470 --> 00:14:30,670
Out of breath.
305
00:14:30,671 --> 00:14:33,273
Deflecting.
306
00:14:33,274 --> 00:14:37,143
All behaviors associated
with someone telling a lie.
307
00:14:37,144 --> 00:14:38,778
Care to explain?
308
00:15:09,383 --> 00:15:12,719
Yo, where you from?
309
00:15:18,058 --> 00:15:20,260
Philly.
310
00:15:20,261 --> 00:15:24,097
Yo. We got a Philly girl down here.
311
00:15:24,098 --> 00:15:26,199
Chyna.
312
00:15:26,200 --> 00:15:27,834
You got new peoples.
313
00:15:29,737 --> 00:15:31,170
Hold up.
314
00:15:40,080 --> 00:15:41,914
You from Philly?
315
00:15:41,915 --> 00:15:44,384
What part?
316
00:15:47,087 --> 00:15:48,588
What's your name?
317
00:15:48,589 --> 00:15:51,024
Why you asking so many questions?
318
00:15:53,260 --> 00:15:54,394
Uh-uh.
319
00:15:54,395 --> 00:15:56,362
Bitch.
320
00:15:56,363 --> 00:15:58,831
Break it up!
321
00:16:00,267 --> 00:16:01,501
Come on.
322
00:16:02,770 --> 00:16:05,471
Crazy bitch!
323
00:16:05,472 --> 00:16:08,708
I was trying to give
you some shower shoes!
324
00:16:19,420 --> 00:16:21,220
I was expecting Whit Houseworth.
325
00:16:21,221 --> 00:16:23,289
Whit's been called away last minute.
326
00:16:23,290 --> 00:16:24,824
I'm Morris Loach,
327
00:16:24,825 --> 00:16:28,628
executive vice president
of corporate lending.
328
00:16:29,730 --> 00:16:31,030
This way.
329
00:16:43,764 --> 00:16:45,632
I have examined your request
330
00:16:45,633 --> 00:16:47,634
in conjunction with the Empire portfolio
331
00:16:47,635 --> 00:16:50,237
and, while impressive,
332
00:16:50,238 --> 00:16:53,473
I'm afraid...
333
00:16:53,474 --> 00:16:56,309
we cannot extend you a line of credit.
334
00:16:56,310 --> 00:16:59,946
Pardon? Empire has had our
best quarter in the last ten...
335
00:16:59,947 --> 00:17:02,182
We're exercising a position of caution
336
00:17:02,183 --> 00:17:04,651
in the entertainment sector right now.
337
00:17:04,652 --> 00:17:06,987
- I'm sorry.
- No, you're not sorry.
338
00:17:06,988 --> 00:17:10,390
In fact, you're over there
enjoying yourself, aren't you?
339
00:17:10,391 --> 00:17:12,275
Because you can't wait to
tell your little friends
340
00:17:12,276 --> 00:17:13,853
how you declined Empire
341
00:17:13,854 --> 00:17:16,417
and reminded us of
where we belong, right?
342
00:17:16,418 --> 00:17:17,952
Ms. Lyon, I assure you,
343
00:17:17,953 --> 00:17:21,422
our bank takes pride in
servicing every client.
344
00:17:21,423 --> 00:17:25,126
Empire has had steady growth
for damn near 20 years.
345
00:17:25,127 --> 00:17:27,686
And since going public,
we've increased market share
346
00:17:27,687 --> 00:17:28,887
and doubled revenue.
347
00:17:28,888 --> 00:17:30,555
You saw that in the file.
348
00:17:30,556 --> 00:17:32,708
But you made up your mind
349
00:17:32,709 --> 00:17:35,778
before it hit your desk, didn't you?
350
00:17:35,779 --> 00:17:37,646
I would call you a bougie coward,
351
00:17:37,647 --> 00:17:42,618
but I am the chief executive
officer of Empire Enterprises,
352
00:17:42,619 --> 00:17:44,486
so I'll leave you with good day.
353
00:17:47,357 --> 00:17:49,024
Bitch.
354
00:17:59,569 --> 00:18:01,983
So, here's your plaques and your awards.
355
00:18:01,984 --> 00:18:04,886
It's not all of 'em,
not even near, but...
356
00:18:04,887 --> 00:18:06,238
it's some of 'em.
357
00:18:06,239 --> 00:18:09,911
This is the green room.
358
00:18:09,912 --> 00:18:12,771
It's basically where the artists come
359
00:18:12,772 --> 00:18:15,968
and chill or write or drink or eat
360
00:18:15,969 --> 00:18:19,136
in between or before
they go into the studio.
361
00:18:19,137 --> 00:18:20,601
I built all of this?
362
00:18:20,602 --> 00:18:23,571
Dad, literally every single
thing in here, this is all you.
363
00:18:23,572 --> 00:18:26,007
- All this is mine?
- Yes, everything.
364
00:18:26,008 --> 00:18:29,710
Even these?
365
00:18:31,046 --> 00:18:32,914
Everything.
366
00:18:36,151 --> 00:18:38,386
- It's mine.
- It's all you, man.
367
00:18:38,387 --> 00:18:40,388
It's all you.
368
00:18:42,324 --> 00:18:44,759
And this...
369
00:18:44,760 --> 00:18:47,528
...is one of your studios.
370
00:18:49,464 --> 00:18:52,834
Hmm. How many of these do I have?
371
00:18:52,835 --> 00:18:55,169
A lot, Dad.
372
00:18:55,170 --> 00:18:56,530
Not just here... L.A., everywhere.
373
00:18:57,773 --> 00:18:58,940
Jamal, Warren Hall
374
00:18:58,941 --> 00:19:00,975
is on his way up to see you.
375
00:19:00,976 --> 00:19:04,445
Why would you let...? Never mind.
376
00:19:04,446 --> 00:19:05,847
Uh, Dad, chill, all right?
377
00:19:05,848 --> 00:19:08,149
Webb, watch, watch my
dad. Chill, Dad, all right?
378
00:19:08,150 --> 00:19:10,785
- Hey.
- Hey, baby.
379
00:19:10,786 --> 00:19:13,287
My meeting ended early, so
I came to take you to lunch.
380
00:19:13,288 --> 00:19:17,558
Oh, that's, um, that's
so nice. I, I got, um,
381
00:19:17,559 --> 00:19:20,469
I got to record and I'm trying
to lay down these, these vocals,
382
00:19:20,470 --> 00:19:22,558
so I just... I only got
like an hour and a half.
383
00:19:22,559 --> 00:19:23,506
It's cool. I can wait with you.
384
00:19:23,507 --> 00:19:25,274
No, no, why don't we, why
don't we catch dinner tonight?
385
00:19:25,275 --> 00:19:26,709
'Cause then that way we can
just really chill, you know?
386
00:19:26,710 --> 00:19:29,111
Wait, is that your father right there?
387
00:19:29,112 --> 00:19:32,192
No, man, that's-that's the engineer.
388
00:19:32,193 --> 00:19:33,916
He's a legend. Are you crazy?
389
00:19:33,917 --> 00:19:35,985
I, um...
390
00:19:35,986 --> 00:19:39,155
I think it's so sweet that
you-you came to surprise me,
391
00:19:39,156 --> 00:19:40,589
- but I really need to...
- You know what, don't worry.
392
00:19:40,590 --> 00:19:42,424
Nah, I just need to
lay down these lyrics.
393
00:19:42,425 --> 00:19:43,459
- So it's a... I'm having...
- Okay.
394
00:19:43,460 --> 00:19:44,898
I should have called.
395
00:19:44,899 --> 00:19:46,331
- Nah, it's-it's all good, though.
- That's okay.
396
00:19:46,332 --> 00:19:47,329
I'm happy to see you, you know?
397
00:19:47,330 --> 00:19:48,645
All right, I'll surprise
you another time.
398
00:19:48,646 --> 00:19:50,532
All right.
399
00:19:54,971 --> 00:19:56,372
So this right here,
400
00:19:56,373 --> 00:19:58,507
this is it.
401
00:19:58,508 --> 00:20:00,309
This is Studio 3,
402
00:20:00,310 --> 00:20:02,678
nicknamed The Hitmaker.
403
00:20:02,679 --> 00:20:04,313
I record here.
404
00:20:04,314 --> 00:20:05,481
Yeah.
405
00:20:05,482 --> 00:20:08,851
You recorded your
best-selling album here.
406
00:20:08,852 --> 00:20:10,853
It took three days.
407
00:20:10,854 --> 00:20:14,623
Nobody slept for 72 hours, not
even my ass, and I was a kid.
408
00:20:14,624 --> 00:20:15,958
But...
409
00:20:15,959 --> 00:20:18,427
but it went on to sell
over eight million copies,
410
00:20:18,428 --> 00:20:19,628
and now everybody wants to record here
411
00:20:19,629 --> 00:20:21,263
'cause they feel like
the Lucious Lyon magic
412
00:20:21,264 --> 00:20:24,300
will, like, sprinkle
on them or something.
413
00:20:24,301 --> 00:20:28,504
You know, I'm the one with
the Lucious Lyon magic, so...
414
00:20:28,505 --> 00:20:31,707
Listen to this.
415
00:20:33,710 --> 00:20:36,879
This is the song that I
said that we wrote together.
416
00:20:36,880 --> 00:20:38,380
Look.
417
00:20:38,381 --> 00:20:39,481
These the keys.
418
00:20:47,445 --> 00:20:49,113
And the strings.
419
00:20:50,315 --> 00:20:52,249
Come here.
420
00:20:52,250 --> 00:20:54,477
- Wow.
- Look.
421
00:20:54,478 --> 00:20:56,179
Then the bass drops.
422
00:21:02,353 --> 00:21:03,520
It's dope, right?
423
00:21:03,521 --> 00:21:05,322
What is this?
424
00:21:05,323 --> 00:21:06,957
"Chasing the Sky."
425
00:21:06,958 --> 00:21:09,526
No, I mean this. What is this?
426
00:21:09,527 --> 00:21:11,728
Oh, this is the, um, the mixing board.
427
00:21:11,729 --> 00:21:16,199
It's basically how the engineer
takes the song to completion.
428
00:21:16,200 --> 00:21:19,436
And I worked on this?
429
00:21:19,437 --> 00:21:21,354
Man, you used to work on all of this.
430
00:21:21,355 --> 00:21:22,601
You didn't even need an engineer.
431
00:21:22,602 --> 00:21:26,238
You just rolled up in the studio
and was like, "I'm the king."
432
00:21:27,808 --> 00:21:29,875
Go ahead.
433
00:21:35,682 --> 00:21:37,917
Ha, that's a little too...
that's a little too loud.
434
00:21:37,918 --> 00:21:39,458
It's all right. It's all right, Dad.
435
00:21:41,655 --> 00:21:45,357
I don't feel connected
to none of this stuff.
436
00:21:48,395 --> 00:21:51,096
Can we, um, maybe just talk for a minute?
437
00:21:51,097 --> 00:21:53,165
Of course.
438
00:21:56,770 --> 00:22:00,039
Hakeem said something
earlier about a trash can...
439
00:22:00,040 --> 00:22:01,907
Come on, man.
440
00:22:01,908 --> 00:22:03,843
- Relax, man, relax, I'm good.
- Sir.
441
00:22:03,844 --> 00:22:05,010
Yo, what's up, Webb?
442
00:22:05,011 --> 00:22:06,011
I tried to explain to him
443
00:22:06,012 --> 00:22:07,480
this area's off-limits right now.
444
00:22:07,481 --> 00:22:10,049
Lucious.
445
00:22:11,651 --> 00:22:13,619
Moonshine.
446
00:22:13,620 --> 00:22:15,821
Moonshine? We on it like that now?
447
00:22:15,822 --> 00:22:17,289
He's a friend of mine, right?
448
00:22:17,290 --> 00:22:19,191
Moonshine.
449
00:22:19,192 --> 00:22:21,794
Yeah, but you know what, we
better get up out of here.
450
00:22:21,795 --> 00:22:23,662
So, Dad, let's... Come on, let's hit it.
451
00:22:23,663 --> 00:22:27,199
But Moonshine and I have
been friends a long time.
452
00:22:28,201 --> 00:22:30,369
Yeah. Day ones.
453
00:22:30,370 --> 00:22:32,238
Yeah, we made rap music together.
454
00:22:32,239 --> 00:22:35,774
Okay, so you're gonna
throw that in my face now.
455
00:22:35,775 --> 00:22:39,178
Nah, Lucious, we didn't
make rap music together.
456
00:22:39,179 --> 00:22:41,046
Well, we'd do a few jams,
457
00:22:41,047 --> 00:22:42,681
made a lot of money in the street.
458
00:22:42,682 --> 00:22:44,683
Meaning, like, uh, street parties.
459
00:22:44,684 --> 00:22:47,119
'Cause before there
was Empire or anything,
460
00:22:47,120 --> 00:22:49,655
y'all used to throw... it's just, uh...
461
00:22:49,656 --> 00:22:51,857
these... these dope block parties.
462
00:22:51,858 --> 00:22:54,426
Mm. Yeah.
463
00:22:54,427 --> 00:22:56,862
Everybody who was anybody
from Philly was there.
464
00:22:56,863 --> 00:22:59,465
Will Smith. The Roots.
465
00:22:59,466 --> 00:23:03,202
Rocky Balboa. Remember that?
466
00:23:07,140 --> 00:23:11,477
To be perfectly honest with
you, Moonshine, I don't.
467
00:23:11,478 --> 00:23:15,180
But I'm curious, um...
468
00:23:15,181 --> 00:23:19,451
w-we were friends since we were kids,
469
00:23:19,452 --> 00:23:23,889
and you make music and I make music.
470
00:23:23,890 --> 00:23:28,127
Why didn't he and I ever
make a song together?
471
00:23:31,631 --> 00:23:32,998
I don't know, brother.
472
00:23:35,335 --> 00:23:37,236
But like I said, it's all good.
473
00:23:37,237 --> 00:23:41,206
We're here now, right?
Empire's 20 years strong...
474
00:23:41,207 --> 00:23:43,809
and we've been friends longer than that.
475
00:23:43,810 --> 00:23:46,912
So that's why you're here. To make music.
476
00:23:46,913 --> 00:23:49,415
Yeah. But nothing like the soft-ass R&B
477
00:23:49,416 --> 00:23:51,417
your boy here's making.
478
00:23:51,418 --> 00:23:53,185
Man, get your ass up
out of here with that.
479
00:23:53,186 --> 00:23:54,920
Listen, in honor of your 20th,
480
00:23:54,921 --> 00:23:57,156
we got something for you.
481
00:23:57,157 --> 00:23:59,458
It's something we worked on together.
482
00:23:59,459 --> 00:24:02,061
Before you took it for
one of your B-sides.
483
00:24:02,062 --> 00:24:05,431
But I remixed it. Check this out.
484
00:24:11,705 --> 00:24:13,005
It's bangin', right?
485
00:24:17,243 --> 00:24:19,078
No.
486
00:24:19,079 --> 00:24:20,112
No.
487
00:24:20,113 --> 00:24:21,380
No! No!
488
00:24:22,716 --> 00:24:23,949
- No!
- Dad.
489
00:24:23,950 --> 00:24:26,251
- No.
- Wait, Dad. No, Webb, grab him, man.
490
00:24:26,252 --> 00:24:27,353
What's wrong with him?
491
00:24:27,354 --> 00:24:29,054
Man, get your damn hands off me.
492
00:24:29,055 --> 00:24:30,689
He slow now, huh?
493
00:24:34,080 --> 00:24:36,248
A few things. I need you
to get my mom's signature
494
00:24:36,249 --> 00:24:38,684
and, uh, make sure Morales
in Accounts Payable gets cc'd.
495
00:24:38,685 --> 00:24:40,786
Okay? Thank you.
496
00:24:55,001 --> 00:24:57,002
Who let you in here?
497
00:24:57,003 --> 00:25:00,205
Get it right, Mr. Lyon, I'm NYPD,
498
00:25:00,206 --> 00:25:03,175
not Vegas Po-Po you
can keep off your ass
499
00:25:03,176 --> 00:25:05,177
with a couple of
tickets to The Lion King.
500
00:25:10,684 --> 00:25:13,352
You said Giuliana Green
is in hiding because
501
00:25:13,353 --> 00:25:14,987
she's afraid of your father.
502
00:25:14,988 --> 00:25:18,357
Now, I take it your father
is a pretty scary guy.
503
00:25:18,358 --> 00:25:22,161
But how about you?
504
00:25:22,162 --> 00:25:24,763
Are you scary... Andre?
505
00:25:30,003 --> 00:25:33,072
Next time we speak,
506
00:25:33,073 --> 00:25:35,174
I think it's best my attorney be present.
507
00:25:41,481 --> 00:25:43,682
Know the difference
between fear and excitement?
508
00:25:45,452 --> 00:25:48,687
It's all in how your brain interprets it.
509
00:25:48,688 --> 00:25:51,090
Earlier today, when
you heard the uniforms
510
00:25:51,091 --> 00:25:52,491
coming around the corner,
511
00:25:52,492 --> 00:25:54,059
were you afraid we were
going to get caught?
512
00:25:54,060 --> 00:25:55,594
Caught?
513
00:25:55,595 --> 00:25:58,497
Well, see, I wasn't.
514
00:25:58,498 --> 00:26:00,132
It made me hot.
515
00:26:14,447 --> 00:26:17,049
Just the way you like it.
516
00:26:17,050 --> 00:26:20,552
You promise?
517
00:26:20,553 --> 00:26:23,188
Thanks, Juanita.
518
00:26:25,525 --> 00:26:28,894
It's like that fellow, Moonshine...
519
00:26:28,895 --> 00:26:32,865
I looked in his eye and
I could see that he was
520
00:26:32,866 --> 00:26:35,167
a violent, violent man.
521
00:26:35,168 --> 00:26:39,471
And I knew that him and I
had some kind of history.
522
00:26:39,472 --> 00:26:41,673
He was looking for it in my eyes.
523
00:26:41,674 --> 00:26:44,309
Is that what drove my music?
524
00:26:44,310 --> 00:26:46,578
Was it dark?
525
00:26:46,579 --> 00:26:50,916
Was I a violent man like him?
526
00:26:52,652 --> 00:26:56,522
I mean, I know you guys are
trying to protect me, but...
527
00:26:56,523 --> 00:26:59,391
it seems like y'all are
trying to protect me from me.
528
00:27:06,132 --> 00:27:09,635
When I was six years old,
you threw me in a trash can.
529
00:27:09,636 --> 00:27:11,837
I what?
530
00:27:13,173 --> 00:27:15,240
It was a party,
531
00:27:15,241 --> 00:27:18,343
and I came downstairs in Mom's heels
532
00:27:18,344 --> 00:27:20,145
and scarf or whatever.
533
00:27:20,146 --> 00:27:23,482
And a lot of the, you know, like
friends and family were over,
534
00:27:23,483 --> 00:27:24,616
so it freaked you out.
535
00:27:24,617 --> 00:27:26,185
I was intolerant?
536
00:27:26,186 --> 00:27:30,088
Yeah, that's a nice
way of saying it, yeah.
537
00:27:30,089 --> 00:27:34,726
That's...
538
00:27:34,727 --> 00:27:38,096
a hateful, ugly thing to do to somebody.
539
00:27:38,097 --> 00:27:40,899
I rejected you for who you are.
540
00:27:40,900 --> 00:27:43,969
That's wrong. It's...
541
00:27:43,970 --> 00:27:46,805
it's hateful.
542
00:27:46,806 --> 00:27:48,674
I mean, it wasn't easy,
543
00:27:48,675 --> 00:27:52,945
and, you know, I spent
some time hating you, but...
544
00:27:54,013 --> 00:27:55,380
Dad, you were a product...
545
00:27:55,381 --> 00:27:57,683
a product of, you
know, where you grew up.
546
00:27:57,684 --> 00:27:59,585
No, no, no, there's no excuse for that.
547
00:27:59,586 --> 00:28:01,019
I mean, here I was,
548
00:28:01,020 --> 00:28:04,923
unable to see my own son because...
549
00:28:04,924 --> 00:28:07,693
of some prejudice I had.
550
00:28:09,863 --> 00:28:11,463
I'm so sorry.
551
00:28:14,934 --> 00:28:18,871
Dad, it's okay, as
long as you see me now.
552
00:28:18,872 --> 00:28:20,105
And you do.
553
00:28:22,809 --> 00:28:24,810
Thank you for trusting me with the truth.
554
00:28:24,811 --> 00:28:27,346
Yeah.
555
00:28:41,683 --> 00:28:44,184
Nice of you to have it all ready.
556
00:28:44,185 --> 00:28:45,185
That kind of day, huh?
557
00:28:45,186 --> 00:28:46,853
You have no idea.
558
00:28:46,854 --> 00:28:48,329
Don't worry, we'll get you glammed up.
559
00:28:48,330 --> 00:28:50,691
Annie is just getting some
compositions up with the others.
560
00:28:50,692 --> 00:28:52,659
- Okay.
- Yeah.
561
00:28:54,963 --> 00:28:57,497
Cookie, darling.
562
00:28:57,498 --> 00:28:59,299

Be careful, Keem.

00:29:25,970 --> 00:29:27,137

00:29:27,138 --> 00:29:28,271
in front of Bella.
578
00:29:29,674 --> 00:29:31,134
Zoe, you mind getting that for me?
579
00:29:33,477 --> 00:29:35,645
Hello.
580
00:29:35,646 --> 00:29:37,647
Mama's here.
581
00:29:37,648 --> 00:29:41,351
Look at my pretty, little princess.
582
00:29:41,352 --> 00:29:43,353
Hi.
583
00:29:43,354 --> 00:29:45,722
Hey, Anika.
584
00:29:45,723 --> 00:29:48,325
Hey. You coming home
with Mama tonight, right?
585
00:29:48,326 --> 00:29:49,526
Yes.
586
00:29:49,527 --> 00:29:51,528
Going where?
587
00:29:51,529 --> 00:29:54,097
She's coming home with me tonight.
588
00:29:54,098 --> 00:29:55,246
Right?
589
00:29:55,247 --> 00:29:56,833
She's not going with you anywhere, Anika.
590
00:29:56,834 --> 00:29:57,834
Excuse me?
591
00:29:57,835 --> 00:29:59,145
She has a play date tomorrow
592
00:29:59,146 --> 00:30:00,870
and I have to take her
shopping for her birthday.
593
00:30:00,871 --> 00:30:02,858
That's okay, I will take her.
594
00:30:02,859 --> 00:30:04,374
I mean, Lucious want me
to bring her over there.
595
00:30:04,375 --> 00:30:06,109
You were just over there today, right?
596
00:30:06,110 --> 00:30:09,379
Ah, you are a terrible liar, Hakeem.
597
00:30:09,380 --> 00:30:11,314
Oh, come to Mama. Come.
598
00:30:11,315 --> 00:30:12,749
She's on a routine now.
599
00:30:12,750 --> 00:30:14,517
Babies is supposed to
be on that. Right, T?
600
00:30:21,692 --> 00:30:22,826
Come, come...
601
00:30:22,827 --> 00:30:24,427
Oh, oh, come here.
602
00:30:24,428 --> 00:30:26,363
Oh, oh, oh, oh.
603
00:30:26,364 --> 00:30:28,231
See? She's not used to you yet.
604
00:30:28,232 --> 00:30:31,067
Got to give her some time.
605
00:30:31,068 --> 00:30:33,803
You were gone five months.
606
00:30:33,804 --> 00:30:36,673
And your mother was gone
for 17 years, Hakeem,
607
00:30:36,674 --> 00:30:37,874
but she is still your mother.
608
00:30:37,875 --> 00:30:40,343
And I am still Bella's.
609
00:30:40,344 --> 00:30:43,480
Now, she might not remember...
610
00:30:43,481 --> 00:30:45,515
but you better not forget.
611
00:30:47,351 --> 00:30:48,852
Didn't her stylist get the memo?
612
00:30:48,853 --> 00:30:50,587
Turned down for a line of credit.
613
00:30:50,588 --> 00:30:51,888
Poor thing.
614
00:30:51,889 --> 00:30:53,723
But the company is solid.
615
00:30:53,724 --> 00:30:56,760
That's rap. Black pathology always sells.
616
00:30:56,761 --> 00:30:58,328
Wasn't she with your son?
617
00:30:58,329 --> 00:31:00,196
Doesn't have a degree, does she?
618
00:31:00,197 --> 00:31:02,098
Oh, not even an education,
except for federal prison.
619
00:31:02,099 --> 00:31:03,867
Diana.
620
00:31:03,868 --> 00:31:07,170
You have something you need to say to me?
621
00:31:07,171 --> 00:31:11,074
Right here. You can say it to my face.
622
00:31:11,075 --> 00:31:14,044
I was just talking to my friends
about the recidivism rates.
623
00:31:14,045 --> 00:31:17,614
I'm a firm believer that as
long as people resort to crime
624
00:31:17,615 --> 00:31:22,185
and violence to solve
problems, that, well,
625
00:31:22,186 --> 00:31:24,120
I'm sure I don't have to tell you
626
00:31:24,121 --> 00:31:26,623
about the vicious cycle thing.
627
00:31:26,624 --> 00:31:28,658
Yo, Cookie.
628
00:31:28,659 --> 00:31:30,860
Cookie, right?
629
00:31:35,299 --> 00:31:36,466
What do you want?
630
00:31:37,601 --> 00:31:40,937
Uh, ladies, you about ready?
631
00:31:44,375 --> 00:31:46,609
I should've known how a new
jack would respond to a gift
632
00:31:46,610 --> 00:31:48,311
just out the blue like that,
633
00:31:48,312 --> 00:31:50,132
especially one of y'all
north Philly chicks.
634
00:31:51,082 --> 00:31:53,883
Look, I'm from Southwest.
635
00:31:53,884 --> 00:31:55,919
See that?
636
00:31:55,920 --> 00:31:57,987
That's Philly every day, all day.
637
00:31:57,988 --> 00:31:59,723
Well, except for Ilene.
638
00:31:59,724 --> 00:32:03,293
She's from Camden, but she reps hard.
639
00:32:03,294 --> 00:32:06,730
Anyway, look, you don't
want to be stepping barefoot
640
00:32:06,731 --> 00:32:08,364
in them shower stalls
with the nasty asses
641
00:32:08,365 --> 00:32:09,733
we got up in here, okay?
642
00:32:09,734 --> 00:32:12,936
I'm supposed to believe that's it, huh?
643
00:32:12,937 --> 00:32:16,940
Oh, we got lotion. Baby powder. Stamps.
644
00:32:16,941 --> 00:32:19,242
Write your peeps, let
'em know you're good.
645
00:32:19,243 --> 00:32:21,745
Just until you get money on
your books and can get your own.
646
00:32:21,746 --> 00:32:23,813
Just put a little bit back in
the stash for the next chick.
647
00:32:23,814 --> 00:32:24,914
Know what I mean?
648
00:32:26,951 --> 00:32:29,119
So, how many years you
get? Oh, no, don't tell me.
649
00:32:29,120 --> 00:32:30,320
Conspiracy,
650
00:32:30,321 --> 00:32:33,957
new law, you got more
than ten, that's for sure.
651
00:32:35,459 --> 00:32:37,927
- Thirty.
- Hmm.
652
00:32:37,928 --> 00:32:39,429
Thirty.
653
00:32:39,430 --> 00:32:41,931
So you'll be doing, what?
654
00:32:41,932 --> 00:32:44,667
25 and a half?
655
00:32:44,668 --> 00:32:46,803
You see Ashanti over
there, that skinny one?
656
00:32:46,804 --> 00:32:48,071
She got 30.
657
00:32:48,072 --> 00:32:51,775
LaDonna, she got life.
658
00:32:51,776 --> 00:32:54,477
Not one of 'em got less than ten.
659
00:32:54,478 --> 00:32:57,280
I'm-a let you guess how
many of them are not in here
660
00:32:57,281 --> 00:33:00,083
because of their man.
661
00:33:01,185 --> 00:33:03,453
What about you? Where your man at?
662
00:33:03,454 --> 00:33:06,723
Out there on the streets.
663
00:33:06,724 --> 00:33:08,958
My man was a don.
664
00:33:08,959 --> 00:33:10,760
You heard of him, trust me.
665
00:33:10,761 --> 00:33:13,429
Talking that "get down or lay down."
666
00:33:13,430 --> 00:33:17,333
Feds ran up on him, he laid his ass down.
667
00:33:17,334 --> 00:33:19,903
What man?
668
00:33:19,904 --> 00:33:22,539
I'm in here with you and them.
669
00:33:22,540 --> 00:33:25,975
We live together or we die alone.
670
00:33:26,877 --> 00:33:30,013
- And right here.
- I'm sorry.
671
00:33:30,014 --> 00:33:31,547
I-I got to say something.
672
00:33:32,383 --> 00:33:33,516
I'm sorry.
673
00:33:33,517 --> 00:33:35,318
Um, look, it's no secret
674
00:33:35,319 --> 00:33:37,921
that there's bad blood between us.
675
00:33:37,922 --> 00:33:40,490
But I'd like to put that behind us,
676
00:33:40,491 --> 00:33:42,315
because I have so many other things
677
00:33:42,316 --> 00:33:43,576
I need to be concerned with.
678
00:33:46,230 --> 00:33:48,698
I got turned down for
a line of credit today.
679
00:33:48,699 --> 00:33:51,501
Every "T" was crossed,
every "I" was dotted.
680
00:33:51,502 --> 00:33:53,269
Should've been a shoo-in, but...
681
00:33:53,270 --> 00:33:55,905
before I could get a
"how do you do, ma'am?"
682
00:33:55,906 --> 00:33:58,741
that bougie-ass banker
told me to kick rocks.
683
00:33:58,742 --> 00:34:02,245
Look, I may not know
business like all of you do,
684
00:34:02,246 --> 00:34:06,216
but I know music, and it's priceless.
685
00:34:06,217 --> 00:34:08,585
And I need to go find a
bank that understands that,
686
00:34:08,586 --> 00:34:11,154
- so I'm sorry. I'm so...
- The same thing happened to me.
687
00:34:12,423 --> 00:34:14,524
My husband had a heart attack.
688
00:34:14,525 --> 00:34:16,125
Left me to care for two teenagers.
689
00:34:16,126 --> 00:34:18,361
My company was teetering,
690
00:34:18,362 --> 00:34:20,897
my job was on the line.
691
00:34:20,898 --> 00:34:22,832
I mean, all I needed was a, a bridge loan
692
00:34:22,833 --> 00:34:24,434
to take me through the quarter.
693
00:34:24,435 --> 00:34:26,236
I got turned down,
694
00:34:26,237 --> 00:34:28,771
'cause I don't have an
appendage between my legs.
695
00:34:28,772 --> 00:34:30,873
Cookie.
696
00:34:32,843 --> 00:34:35,612
I'm gonna spot you $10
mil for your 20 For 20.
697
00:34:35,613 --> 00:34:38,748
And not just because
my kids love your music.
698
00:34:38,749 --> 00:34:40,917
- $10 million?
- Mm-hmm.
699
00:34:40,918 --> 00:34:42,952
Thank you.
700
00:34:42,953 --> 00:34:45,088
- Count me in!
- I got you.
701
00:34:45,089 --> 00:34:47,423
The boys on Wall Street sure
as hell don't have our backs.
702
00:34:47,424 --> 00:34:49,659
We got to stick together.
703
00:34:49,660 --> 00:34:53,796
Now come take one of these

704
00:34:56,934 --> 00:34:59,035
Ho, ho, ho, ho, ho.

I guess I'm staying.
706
00:35:01,939 --> 00:35:03,640
Fire that camera up.
707
00:35:03,641 --> 00:35:05,708
Thank you.
708
00:35:05,709 --> 00:35:08,077
That's girl power.
709
00:35:08,078 --> 00:35:11,080
I am impressed.
710
00:35:11,081 --> 00:35:13,349
You were clearly the better woman today.
711
00:35:15,119 --> 00:35:17,320
And you're right.
712
00:35:17,321 --> 00:35:21,257
It's time that we put
these hostilities behind us.
713
00:35:26,539 --> 00:35:28,640
- Ma'am.

Look.
771
00:39:15,166 --> 00:39:17,033
I don't know what's going on,
772
00:39:17,034 --> 00:39:19,035
or what the deal is
with you and your father.
773
00:39:19,036 --> 00:39:22,038
And it's none of my business.
774
00:39:22,039 --> 00:39:25,008
I just don't understand
why I haven't met him yet.
775
00:39:25,009 --> 00:39:27,010
'Cause I told you a million
different times, Warren,
776
00:39:27,011 --> 00:39:29,479
that it's-it's complicated.
777
00:39:29,480 --> 00:39:32,215
"It's complicated." Come on, boy.
778
00:39:32,216 --> 00:39:34,217
You embarrassed of me?
779
00:39:34,218 --> 00:39:36,052
Are you joking? Why would
I be embarrassed of you?
780
00:39:36,053 --> 00:39:38,088
Well, then, are you
embarrassed of your father?
781
00:39:40,624 --> 00:39:42,392
I just don't understand
why we're keeping secrets,
782
00:39:42,393 --> 00:39:43,927
that's all.
783
00:39:43,928 --> 00:39:45,362
"We"?
784
00:39:45,363 --> 00:39:48,264
I mean, are you keeping secrets?
785
00:39:53,070 --> 00:39:54,504
All right.
786
00:39:54,505 --> 00:39:58,341
I got daddy issues, too.
787
00:39:58,342 --> 00:40:00,310
My father's an attorney.
788
00:40:00,311 --> 00:40:03,813
Was an attorney.
789
00:40:03,814 --> 00:40:08,218
But now he's a degenerate
gambler and a drunk.
790
00:40:08,219 --> 00:40:11,354
I got accepted to Stanford.
791
00:40:11,355 --> 00:40:13,590
My father paid my tuition
792
00:40:13,591 --> 00:40:16,326
to a whole bunch of casinos in Vegas.
793
00:40:18,596 --> 00:40:22,532
Jamal, one of the things
that made me fall hard for you
794
00:40:22,533 --> 00:40:27,203
is when your father had his accident,
795
00:40:27,204 --> 00:40:28,838
how you loved him.
796
00:40:28,839 --> 00:40:32,409
I'll always wonder what that felt like.
797
00:40:32,410 --> 00:40:36,613
Maybe, maybe I was just
hanging around, trying to...
798
00:40:36,614 --> 00:40:38,048
be a part of that.
799
00:40:38,049 --> 00:40:42,185
But if you don't trust me...
800
00:40:42,186 --> 00:40:44,654
baby, what are we doing?
801
00:40:47,291 --> 00:40:49,926
I do trust you, though.
802
00:40:49,927 --> 00:40:51,428
Warren, come on, man.
803
00:40:51,429 --> 00:40:54,864
Ju... stop, stop all that.
804
00:40:56,567 --> 00:40:58,501
I trust you, all right?
805
00:41:00,404 --> 00:41:03,206
This is a lot. And-and my...
806
00:41:03,207 --> 00:41:06,209
My family, we got to keep it under wraps.
807
00:41:08,579 --> 00:41:10,580
My father has a serious brain injury
808
00:41:10,581 --> 00:41:14,284
and he, he don't really
remember us too much
809
00:41:14,285 --> 00:41:17,153
and he doesn't really remember himself.
810
00:41:22,493 --> 00:41:24,861
Come here.
811
00:41:55,993 --> 00:41:58,728
Lucious, what are you doing?
812
00:42:00,231 --> 00:42:02,365
They're Bella's paints.
813
00:42:02,366 --> 00:42:04,567
It relaxes me.
814
00:42:12,276 --> 00:42:15,411
All right, I'll leave you to it.
815
00:42:27,892 --> 00:42:30,927
Lucious, um...
816
00:42:32,530 --> 00:42:34,864
The reason why I was gone for 17 years
817
00:42:34,865 --> 00:42:37,600
is because I was in prison.
818
00:42:46,143 --> 00:42:49,012
Was it because of me?
819
00:42:50,514 --> 00:42:53,650
Women back then, who were in prison,
820
00:42:53,651 --> 00:42:55,818
they just complained
about how they were there
821
00:42:55,819 --> 00:42:58,621
because of their men.
822
00:43:00,591 --> 00:43:04,193
Yeah, Lucious, it's because of you.
823
00:43:08,732 --> 00:43:10,733
Good night.
824
00:43:10,734 --> 00:43:14,037
Um, Cookie.
825
00:43:14,038 --> 00:43:17,907
I'd like to hear about it.
826
00:43:17,908 --> 00:43:20,510
The whys and where.
827
00:43:20,511 --> 00:43:23,246
The reasons it was my fault.
828
00:43:23,247 --> 00:43:25,315
I want to know everything.
829
00:43:25,411 --> 00:43:32,911
