I don't give a damn
about his feelings.
352
00:14:31,238 --> 00:14:33,338
You better dump his ass
before you lose Philip.
353
00:14:33,340 --> 00:14:35,039
Oh, okay, Ma.
354
00:14:35,041 --> 00:14:38,409
Well, how about you drop Dad
before you lose Angelo?
355
00:14:38,411 --> 00:14:40,712
Oh, shut your stupid ass up,
didn't nobody come down here
356
00:14:40,714 --> 00:14:42,547
to talk about that.
Tell you what,
357
00:14:42,549 --> 00:14:44,015
you worry about
your dirty laundry,
358
00:14:44,017 --> 00:14:45,250
and I'll worry about mine.
359
00:14:45,252 --> 00:14:46,851
Sounds like a plan.
Okay.
360
00:14:46,853 --> 00:14:49,187
Look, I just came to see
361
00:14:49,189 --> 00:14:51,890
if you're gonna show up
for your brother tonight.
Of course.
362
00:14:51,892 --> 00:14:53,992
Dre and I are gonna go there,
um, when he hits Laviticus.
363
00:14:53,994 --> 00:14:55,927
He has no idea.
(chuckles)
Mm-hmm.
364
00:14:55,929 --> 00:14:57,328
You coming?
No.
365
00:14:57,330 --> 00:14:59,063
Keem don't want to club
with his mama.
366
00:14:59,065 --> 00:15:01,532
Plus, me and Angelo
have a dinner
367
00:15:01,534 --> 00:15:03,668
with these bourgie
black folk.
368
00:15:03,670 --> 00:15:06,337
You know, they don't
even bother me anymore, Jamal.
369
00:15:06,339 --> 00:15:08,406
Am I losing my street cred?
370
00:15:08,408 --> 00:15:09,674
Maybe.
371
00:15:09,676 --> 00:15:11,242
I mean, is that
such a bad thing?
372
00:15:11,244 --> 00:15:13,278
I don't know.
373
00:15:13,280 --> 00:15:15,580
I'm gonna be myself,
I'll tell you that much.
374
00:15:15,582 --> 00:15:17,048
Just a little more polished.
375
00:15:17,050 --> 00:15:19,050
(laughs)
Okay.
376
00:15:19,052 --> 00:15:21,719
Boy, get up, I got to go get
my hair done for tonight.
377
00:15:21,721 --> 00:15:23,454
Bye. Love you.
378
00:15:23,456 --> 00:15:25,623
I love you too.
Stay away from that trash.
379
00:15:25,625 --> 00:15:27,025
Stay away from
my dirty daddy.
380
00:15:27,027 --> 00:15:28,893
Shut up. By the way,
me and your father
381
00:15:28,895 --> 00:15:30,762
took care of your doorman.
382
00:15:30,764 --> 00:15:31,930
How?
383
00:15:33,133 --> 00:15:36,200
Ma?
Shut up, boy.
384
00:15:38,772 --> 00:15:40,905
Hakeem, I thought you were
supposed to get smarter as
385
00:15:40,907 --> 00:15:42,774
you got older, not dumber.
HAKEEM: Shut up, man.
386
00:15:42,776 --> 00:15:44,742
ANDRE: I'm not letting you
stream your birthday mess
387
00:15:44,744 --> 00:15:47,612
live on Empire XStream,
all right?
What's your problem, man?
388
00:15:47,614 --> 00:15:49,447
What's your problem, man?!
LUCIOUS:
Hold on, hold on!
389
00:15:49,449 --> 00:15:51,382
What's going on?
Let him have his fun.
390
00:15:51,384 --> 00:15:53,318
It's harmless.
391
00:15:53,320 --> 00:15:54,953
I can think of a million ways
it could become
392
00:15:54,955 --> 00:15:56,220
harmful for us, Pop.
393
00:15:56,222 --> 00:15:58,056
The cost of security alone...
394
00:15:58,058 --> 00:15:59,724
I'll pull in ten times
the cost of security
395
00:15:59,726 --> 00:16:01,492
with all the cash I'll be making
on my club appearances.
396
00:16:01,494 --> 00:16:03,127
Why do you keep raising
your voice in here?
397
00:16:03,129 --> 00:16:04,729
'Cause he getting on my nerves.
398
00:16:04,731 --> 00:16:07,632
Look, it's his birthday.
Let him have his fun.
399
00:16:07,634 --> 00:16:11,002
Oh, by the way, I'm so sorry,
I'm not gonna make it.
400
00:16:11,004 --> 00:16:14,272
Dad, it's bad enough my whole
family trying to bail on me now.
401
00:16:14,274 --> 00:16:15,873
Now Andre's trying
to wreck my party?
402
00:16:18,745 --> 00:16:20,278
I'm outta here.
Nice job.
403
00:16:20,280 --> 00:16:22,146
He looks pretty
disappointed.
404
00:16:22,148 --> 00:16:24,248
Yeah, he really thinks we're
just ignoring his big day.
405
00:16:24,250 --> 00:16:26,150
(laughs)
Oh, man, you guys, boy.
406
00:16:26,152 --> 00:16:28,987
He's surprised when he don't
get that Bugatti from me.
407
00:16:28,989 --> 00:16:31,255
Aw, he wants that car.
(laughs)
Yeah, he's out of his damn mind.
408
00:16:31,257 --> 00:16:32,523
I ain't buying him that.
409
00:16:32,525 --> 00:16:35,026
What's up with this,
um, Vegas thing?
410
00:16:35,028 --> 00:16:36,661
Tell me.
411
00:16:36,663 --> 00:16:38,029
I don't know.
412
00:16:38,031 --> 00:16:39,964
I tried to call the
guy back. Nothing.
413
00:16:39,966 --> 00:16:41,399
Hmm.
414
00:16:43,970 --> 00:16:45,203
What?
415
00:16:45,205 --> 00:16:47,171
Uh, nothing.
416
00:16:47,173 --> 00:16:49,040
You thinking about doing
some business in Vegas?
417
00:16:49,042 --> 00:16:51,009
I mean, I hate Vegas.
418
00:16:51,011 --> 00:16:53,544
I think it's grimy, and there's
no upside for our business,
419
00:16:53,546 --> 00:16:55,813
but we get this anonymous tip
420
00:16:55,815 --> 00:16:58,649
saying that
there's this huge
421
00:16:58,651 --> 00:17:01,119
business opportunity
for us in...
422
00:17:01,121 --> 00:17:02,787
You sure you don't know
nothing about this?
423
00:17:02,789 --> 00:17:04,555
No.
424
00:17:04,557 --> 00:17:05,957
Okay.
425
00:17:05,959 --> 00:17:07,058
I'm gonna see you, Dre.
Yep.
426
00:17:07,060 --> 00:17:08,359
All right, Dre.
Bye, Pop.
427
00:17:25,178 --> 00:17:27,078
QUEENIE:
Just... Yeah, that's good.
428
00:17:27,080 --> 00:17:30,081
Cookie, I'm running
a little behind, darling.
429
00:17:30,083 --> 00:17:31,883
Mm-hmm, that's all good.
You just need to tell
430
00:17:31,885 --> 00:17:34,218
whoever that is
they got to bounce.
I'm sorry, tell me what?
431
00:17:34,220 --> 00:17:36,387
Tell you that you got to
get out of that chair
432
00:17:36,389 --> 00:17:38,089
'cause it's time
for my appointment.
433
00:17:38,091 --> 00:17:40,858
Oh, well, we'll be done shortly.
Oh. (sarcastic chuckle)
434
00:17:40,860 --> 00:17:43,161
Give me one second
please, madam?
Of course.
435
00:17:43,163 --> 00:17:45,830
I'm sorry, Cookie.
436
00:17:45,832 --> 00:17:48,433
She came in off the streets,
put down two stacks,
437
00:17:48,435 --> 00:17:50,001
and her friends
over there
438
00:17:50,003 --> 00:17:51,869
were hella persuasive about it.
439
00:17:51,871 --> 00:17:53,104
Who are they?
440
00:17:53,106 --> 00:17:54,439
(phone rings)
Oh.
441
00:17:54,441 --> 00:17:56,607
Lucious, what the hell
do you want?
442
00:17:56,609 --> 00:17:58,609
LUCIOUS:
Cookie, Anika called.
443
00:17:58,611 --> 00:18:01,412
Says she wants to come home.
444
00:18:01,414 --> 00:18:03,281
Thought you might want to know.
445
00:18:03,283 --> 00:18:04,615
(sighs)
446
00:18:11,458 --> 00:18:12,723
I'm sorry
about that.
447
00:18:12,725 --> 00:18:14,125
Oh, it's fine.
448
00:18:14,127 --> 00:18:16,627

Hey, happy birthday,
young buck.

The house
is packed.

00:19:33,773 --> 00:19:35,873
What's this?
487
00:19:35,875 --> 00:19:38,109
Your bill. You thought all
that champagne was free?
488
00:19:38,111 --> 00:19:41,012
That gets charged against
your appearance fee.
489
00:19:41,014 --> 00:19:42,346
Okay, that's not what
we talked about.
490
00:19:42,348 --> 00:19:43,814
Look, if your family showed up,
491
00:19:43,816 --> 00:19:45,283
Jamal, or your O.G. daddy...
492
00:19:45,285 --> 00:19:47,118
That wasn't the deal, man.
493
00:19:47,120 --> 00:19:48,853
Don't listen to him because
I'm here and so is Tiana.
494
00:19:48,855 --> 00:19:50,688
Maybe if you
freestyle rap
495
00:19:50,690 --> 00:19:53,391
a couple verses, I
could dig up five grand.
496
00:19:53,393 --> 00:19:55,993
Hakeem the Dream don't rap
for free, everybody know that.
497
00:19:55,995 --> 00:19:58,563
The deal was 50, man.
Where's my money?
498
00:19:58,565 --> 00:20:00,731
(chuckles)
And who's gonna back you?
499
00:20:00,733 --> 00:20:03,167
Your girl and
the ho squad?
500
00:20:03,169 --> 00:20:06,304
Okay, first of all, who the hell
you calling a ho?
Pay the man.
501
00:20:09,976 --> 00:20:11,275
Okay.
502
00:20:17,684 --> 00:20:18,916
Come on, man,
503
00:20:18,918 --> 00:20:20,451
I was messing...
504
00:20:21,854 --> 00:20:23,754
Let's get
the money out.
505
00:20:23,756 --> 00:20:25,323
Happy?
506
00:20:25,325 --> 00:20:27,925
My money. Yeah.
507
00:20:27,927 --> 00:20:30,728
Hey, I could use
another watch, man.
508
00:20:30,730 --> 00:20:32,363
East Coast,
West Coast.
509
00:20:32,365 --> 00:20:33,598
Run it, Shaq!
510
00:20:33,600 --> 00:20:35,933
Give him the watch.
511
00:20:40,006 --> 00:20:41,372
That's yours, man.
Hey.
512
00:20:41,374 --> 00:20:42,506
HAKEEM:
Congrats
513
00:20:42,508 --> 00:20:43,941
Perfect.
That's great.
514
00:20:43,943 --> 00:20:45,610
And I want to give you
a little something.
515
00:20:45,612 --> 00:20:47,345
There's your
little money
516
00:20:47,347 --> 00:20:48,546
for your little tips
for the champagne.
517
00:20:48,548 --> 00:20:50,414
Bounce!
518
00:20:50,416 --> 00:20:53,117
Hey, man, I don't know
who y'all are,
519
00:20:53,119 --> 00:20:54,452
but y'all can roll with us.
520
00:20:54,454 --> 00:20:55,720
Hey, thanks!
521
00:20:55,722 --> 00:20:57,121
It's good, let's go.
Yeah.
522
00:20:57,123 --> 00:20:58,122
Hey, we got
your back, y'all.
523
00:20:58,124 --> 00:20:59,624
Baby.
524
00:20:59,626 --> 00:21:00,925
Come on, let's go.
525
00:21:00,927 --> 00:21:02,193
Hey, yo.
526
00:21:02,195 --> 00:21:03,794
What's your name, bae?
527
00:21:03,796 --> 00:21:05,529
That's Kennedy, man.
528
00:21:05,531 --> 00:21:07,064
The party
just started.
529
00:21:07,066 --> 00:21:09,200
Choo-choo!
♪ Bought me a new shovel ♪
530
00:21:09,202 --> 00:21:11,569
Turn it up!
(laughter)
531
00:21:11,571 --> 00:21:13,037
On that train!
532
00:21:13,039 --> 00:21:15,306
♪ All my put in work. ♪
533
00:21:15,308 --> 00:21:17,208
(doorbell rings)
534
00:21:20,313 --> 00:21:21,746
Oh, Miss Anika.
535
00:21:21,748 --> 00:21:23,547
Hey, Juanita.
Hello.
536
00:21:25,051 --> 00:21:26,917
Is, uh, Lucious home?
537
00:21:26,919 --> 00:21:28,619
He'll be home
soon, Miss Anika.
538
00:21:28,621 --> 00:21:30,955
Right now, it's
just me and Bella.
539
00:21:30,957 --> 00:21:33,357
Oh, I can't wait
to see her.
540
00:21:36,396 --> 00:21:39,030
Thank you.
Mm-hmm.
541
00:21:44,103 --> 00:21:45,503
Mama's here, baby.
542
00:21:47,607 --> 00:21:49,974
Mama is a dead
bitch walking.
543
00:21:49,976 --> 00:21:52,410
Where's my daughter?
Don't worry about
Bella, she's safe,
544
00:21:52,412 --> 00:21:55,279
which is more than I can
say for you right now.
545
00:21:55,281 --> 00:21:56,814
Cookie, I did not snitch on you.
546
00:21:56,816 --> 00:21:58,783
Tariq tried to talk to me,
and I ran.
547
00:21:58,785 --> 00:22:00,484
He doesn't even know I'm here.
548
00:22:00,486 --> 00:22:04,121
Look, I know you've been really
nice and helpful with me,
549
00:22:04,123 --> 00:22:06,290
but you've become
a huge problem.
550
00:22:06,292 --> 00:22:08,192
And I don't see
a reason why we shouldn't
551
00:22:08,194 --> 00:22:09,460
just kill you right now.
552
00:22:09,462 --> 00:22:11,128
What?
553
00:22:11,130 --> 00:22:12,697
Let me do it, Dwight.
554
00:22:12,699 --> 00:22:14,699
Mama, please,
555
00:22:14,701 --> 00:22:17,335
will you leave?
Please.
556
00:22:21,474 --> 00:22:23,941
Okay.
557
00:22:25,211 --> 00:22:27,645
You've got 30 seconds
to convince us
558
00:22:27,647 --> 00:22:29,313
why we should
let you live.
559
00:22:29,315 --> 00:22:30,681
Look, I didn't need
to be here right now.
560
00:22:30,683 --> 00:22:31,949
I could've gone
to Witness Protection
561
00:22:31,951 --> 00:22:33,284
and taken Bella with me.
562
00:22:33,286 --> 00:22:34,285
Well, why didn't you?
563
00:22:34,287 --> 00:22:35,519
Because I needed time
564
00:22:35,521 --> 00:22:36,954
to formulate a plan.
565
00:22:36,956 --> 00:22:38,356
And now I have one.
566
00:22:38,358 --> 00:22:41,125
I'm listening.
567
00:22:41,127 --> 00:22:43,961
We all know
that Tariq is jealous of you.
568
00:22:43,963 --> 00:22:45,963
We know that he wants
what you have.
569
00:22:45,965 --> 00:22:47,865
But he's only doing this
because he thinks
570
00:22:47,867 --> 00:22:49,700
that you stole his father.
571
00:22:49,702 --> 00:22:51,902
Dr. Freud, we figured this out
a long time ago.
572
00:22:51,904 --> 00:22:54,739
And what I've got,
he will never have.
Yes,
573
00:22:54,741 --> 00:22:56,841
but there's one thing that
he will take if you let him.
574
00:22:56,843 --> 00:22:58,409
Me.
575
00:22:58,411 --> 00:23:01,312
If we can prove that
Tariq and your wife
576
00:23:01,314 --> 00:23:03,881
have been... involved,
577
00:23:03,883 --> 00:23:07,551
they will be forced
to drop the case for good.
578
00:23:09,856 --> 00:23:11,756
She got to wear a wire.
579
00:23:11,758 --> 00:23:14,024
That's fine.
Just let me get his trust first.
580
00:23:14,026 --> 00:23:16,494
She's a lyin' snake.
581
00:23:16,496 --> 00:23:18,729
Tariq's too smart
582
00:23:18,731 --> 00:23:20,398
to fall for her.
583
00:23:21,367 --> 00:23:23,200
Let your mama do it.
Uh...
584
00:23:23,202 --> 00:23:24,368
Okay, Mama,
585
00:23:24,370 --> 00:23:26,737
give me the gun.
586
00:23:28,508 --> 00:23:31,108
Give it to me.
587
00:23:32,445 --> 00:23:34,478
Please.
588
00:23:40,420 --> 00:23:42,052
(exhaling):
Oh, my God...
589
00:23:42,054 --> 00:23:43,387
Where'd you get this?
590
00:23:43,389 --> 00:23:45,923
It was in her purse.
591
00:23:45,925 --> 00:23:48,859
Look, you gave it
to me, remember?
592
00:23:48,861 --> 00:23:51,262
It's none of your business.
593
00:23:51,264 --> 00:23:54,899
You're right.
None of my business.
594
00:23:54,901 --> 00:23:57,935
You got one week to figure out
a way to make your plan work,
595
00:23:57,937 --> 00:23:59,470
or I'm gonna
be forced to let
596
00:23:59,472 --> 00:24:01,439
my mama do
what she's been dying to do.
597
00:24:09,449 --> 00:24:11,782
I just feel like he turned
his whole life upside down,
598
00:24:11,784 --> 00:24:13,818
so the least I can do
is, I don't know,
599
00:24:13,820 --> 00:24:15,586
show him a little kindness.
600
00:24:15,588 --> 00:24:16,821
What does that mean?
601
00:24:16,823 --> 00:24:18,222
You're gonna do something
out of pity?
602
00:24:18,224 --> 00:24:20,057
No, of course not.
603
00:24:20,059 --> 00:24:22,059
It's kind of hard to explain.
You wouldn't understand.
604
00:24:22,061 --> 00:24:25,129
It's just... coming out in the
music business, it's like...
605
00:24:25,131 --> 00:24:28,065
It's a lot harder than it
would be in the military, right?
606
00:24:28,067 --> 00:24:30,468
(chuckling):
I'm sure.
(chuckles)
607
00:24:30,470 --> 00:24:33,637
Okay, you're right.
Maybe you do know something.
608
00:24:33,639 --> 00:24:35,306
(sighs)
609
00:24:36,576 --> 00:24:39,109
Look, what I do
know is that...
610
00:24:39,111 --> 00:24:42,413
what you and I have could
actually be really special.
611
00:24:42,415 --> 00:24:45,115
I'm not interested
in D-Major. I just...
612
00:24:45,117 --> 00:24:47,952
I just think that we could
show him a little compassion
613
00:24:47,954 --> 00:24:49,487
for what he's going through.
614
00:24:51,424 --> 00:24:53,591
I think you're right.
615
00:24:53,593 --> 00:24:56,060
I think we should.
616
00:25:03,436 --> 00:25:05,870
Thank you.
617
00:25:05,872 --> 00:25:07,638
I'm gonna go have the car
pull around front
618
00:25:07,640 --> 00:25:09,473
so we can surprise
your baby brother.
619
00:25:09,475 --> 00:25:10,808
Sounds good.
620
00:25:10,810 --> 00:25:12,443
All right.
621
00:25:37,803 --> 00:25:40,471
I'm sorry. Look,
I got scared and I ran.
622
00:25:40,473 --> 00:25:42,039
No, it's cool.
623
00:25:42,041 --> 00:25:43,974
You didn't tell Lucious, right?
624
00:25:43,976 --> 00:25:45,743
Hell no,
I didn't tell Lucious.
625
00:25:45,745 --> 00:25:47,411
I just told him
that my mom was sick
626
00:25:47,413 --> 00:25:49,346
and I left the baby
with Hakeem.
627
00:25:49,348 --> 00:25:52,016
I can't tell Lucious.
He'll kill me.
Yeah, see,
628
00:25:52,018 --> 00:25:53,584
that's what I'm talking about,
Anika.
629
00:25:53,586 --> 00:25:55,686
We need to do this
before anybody else gets killed.
630
00:25:55,688 --> 00:25:57,521
Look, Tariq,
631
00:25:57,523 --> 00:26:00,724
all I know is I don't want Bella
to be in the hands of strangers,
632
00:26:00,726 --> 00:26:02,660
you know? And I don't want
to look over my shoulder
633
00:26:02,662 --> 00:26:04,395
for the rest of my life.
634
00:26:06,499 --> 00:26:08,599
I don't know what to do.
635
00:26:08,601 --> 00:26:10,267
I'll protect you.
636
00:26:10,269 --> 00:26:11,835
Trust me.
637
00:26:11,837 --> 00:26:13,304
(vehicle approaching)
638
00:26:17,543 --> 00:26:19,510
All right.
639
00:26:19,512 --> 00:26:21,712
But, look,
only you.
640
00:26:21,714 --> 00:26:23,781
All right?
'Cause I-I...
641
00:26:23,783 --> 00:26:25,816
I don't want to do this
on my own.
642
00:26:27,853 --> 00:26:30,721
Tell you what,
643
00:26:30,723 --> 00:26:32,723
this is what we'll do.
644
00:26:32,725 --> 00:26:36,093
We'll give it a week to let it
get back to normal, all right?
645
00:26:36,095 --> 00:26:37,861
Then we'll try again.
646
00:26:37,863 --> 00:26:39,697
And forget Witness Protection.
647
00:26:39,699 --> 00:26:41,131
You'll be under my protection.
648
00:26:42,969 --> 00:26:45,035
I won't leave your side.
649
00:26:46,105 --> 00:26:47,605
Thank you.
650
00:26:53,145 --> 00:26:54,478
Hey.
651
00:26:54,480 --> 00:26:56,947
Good to see you, man.
652
00:26:59,151 --> 00:27:00,317
(beeps)
653
00:27:00,319 --> 00:27:02,252
Come on.
654
00:27:02,254 --> 00:27:04,455
(beeping)
655
00:27:04,457 --> 00:27:05,923
Miss, uh...
656
00:27:05,925 --> 00:27:10,394
Why is this not working?
657
00:27:10,396 --> 00:27:12,896
It's... It says D-Major
on there.
658
00:27:12,898 --> 00:27:14,298
Is there some kind of mistake?
659
00:27:14,300 --> 00:27:16,033
You see it says
D-Major? That's me.
660
00:27:17,236 --> 00:27:18,569
(sighs)
661
00:27:18,571 --> 00:27:20,304
Do me a favor and call Jamal.
662
00:27:20,306 --> 00:27:22,139
Hey, man, come on.
You don't want to be doing this.
663
00:27:22,141 --> 00:27:23,507
Why don't you just go home?
664
00:27:23,509 --> 00:27:26,944
You don't know
what I want to be doing.
665
00:27:26,946 --> 00:27:29,146
Yeah, I do. We both do.
666
00:27:29,148 --> 00:27:31,615
We know exactly what
you're going through, man.
667
00:27:31,617 --> 00:27:32,983
We know where
you're coming from.
668
00:27:32,985 --> 00:27:35,119
(chuckles)
You keep saying "we."
669
00:27:35,121 --> 00:27:37,488
Like you and Jamal
got something real.
670
00:27:37,490 --> 00:27:39,156
I just want you to understand
what's going on, man,
671
00:27:39,158 --> 00:27:40,424
it'd make this a lot easier.
672
00:27:40,426 --> 00:27:42,326
All right?
673
00:27:44,363 --> 00:27:46,697
Oh, I understand
what's going on.
674
00:27:46,699 --> 00:27:50,334
The thing is, Philip,
no matter how hard you try,
675
00:27:50,336 --> 00:27:53,103
you won't never, ever be able
to give it to him the way I do.
676
00:27:53,105 --> 00:27:55,673
Okay, shorty?
Get off of me, man.
677
00:27:55,675 --> 00:27:58,275
Yo, Philip. Come on,
what's your problem?
678
00:27:58,277 --> 00:28:00,878
Still had that one coming, man.
679
00:28:05,618 --> 00:28:07,518

You all right?
782
00:32:19,204 --> 00:32:22,105
I just talked to the men I sent
to ride shotgun on your ass.
783
00:32:22,107 --> 00:32:24,608
They said you cut them loose.
784
00:32:24,610 --> 00:32:25,976
I thought they were
Shine's boys,
785
00:32:25,978 --> 00:32:27,544
and you sent them
to mess my b-day up.
786
00:32:27,546 --> 00:32:29,446
Why would I do that, Hakeem?
787
00:32:29,448 --> 00:32:31,882
Let me think.
'Cause you always do that.
788
00:32:31,884 --> 00:32:33,083
Whatever.
Listen, first of all,
789
00:32:33,085 --> 00:32:34,651
it wasn't done on purpose.
790
00:32:34,653 --> 00:32:36,386
It's never on purpose with him.
He's never been held
791
00:32:36,388 --> 00:32:38,488
to the same standard
as you and me,
792
00:32:38,490 --> 00:32:40,657
'cause he's the baby, right?
Stop that.
793
00:32:40,659 --> 00:32:43,160
It's his birthday right now,
so we'll deal with it tomorrow.
794
00:32:43,162 --> 00:32:44,461
No, did you know that he hired
795
00:32:44,463 --> 00:32:46,263
two random dudes
to act like his security?
796
00:32:46,265 --> 00:32:48,398
Oh, God. I didn't hire nobody.
They said he gave them cash,
797
00:32:48,400 --> 00:32:51,001
champagne, watches, in
exchange for their services.
798
00:32:51,003 --> 00:32:52,502
Now, in the eyes
of the law, that makes them
799
00:32:52,504 --> 00:32:54,304
de facto employees
of Empire, Jamal.
800
00:32:54,306 --> 00:32:56,340
Well, stop talking about me
like I'm not standing here.
801
00:32:56,342 --> 00:32:57,674
I made a mistake.
802
00:32:57,676 --> 00:32:58,909
What was I supposed to do?
803
00:32:58,911 --> 00:33:00,744
In an Empire venue.
804
00:33:00,746 --> 00:33:02,112
On company property.
805
00:33:02,114 --> 00:33:04,581
Do you have any idea,
the liability?
806
00:33:04,583 --> 00:33:06,350
Ain't you supposed
to be a father?
Calm down,
807
00:33:06,352 --> 00:33:08,986
people watching.
You just mad 'cause Dad
had my back on this.
808
00:33:08,988 --> 00:33:10,988
See, he understands me.
809
00:33:10,990 --> 00:33:12,522
Him and me got something
you will never have,
810
00:33:12,524 --> 00:33:14,157
and that's music.
Oh, shut up, Hakeem,
811
00:33:14,159 --> 00:33:15,826
just shut up.
You know I don't know
nothing about liability.
812
00:33:15,828 --> 00:33:16,927
That's because you are
the liability,
813
00:33:16,929 --> 00:33:18,128
Hakeem!
Dre, chill.
814
00:33:18,130 --> 00:33:20,163
For this family
and for this company.
815
00:33:20,165 --> 00:33:22,099
Stop spitting in my face.
816
00:33:22,101 --> 00:33:24,167
You know what?
817
00:33:24,169 --> 00:33:26,370
You are 21 years old now.
818
00:33:26,372 --> 00:33:27,604
Yup.
819
00:33:27,606 --> 00:33:29,706
You a man.
I'm a man.
820
00:33:29,708 --> 00:33:31,475
You gonna learn
to take responsibilities
821
00:33:31,477 --> 00:33:33,010

822
00:33:33,012 --> 00:33:35,345

So, as of this minute,
823
00:33:35,347 --> 00:33:36,880
your channel is shut down.
824
00:33:36,882 --> 00:33:38,715
You are off of Empire XStream
for good.
825
00:33:39,885 --> 00:33:41,852
Happy birthday.
826
00:33:42,955 --> 00:33:44,621
Yo, Dre, stop
playing with me.
827
00:33:44,623 --> 00:33:45,956
Give me my camera, man.
828
00:33:54,666 --> 00:33:58,402
What's his problem, man?
Dre always bugging.
829
00:33:58,404 --> 00:34:00,404
Why don't you calm
your ass down?
Yeah, okay, man.
830
00:34:00,406 --> 00:34:03,874
And it is mostly your
fault, Hakeem, it is.
How?
831
00:34:03,876 --> 00:34:05,242
Come here, baby.
832
00:34:05,244 --> 00:34:07,377
Look, it was all so dope
at first, right?
833
00:34:07,379 --> 00:34:09,413
And then my party
just got ruined.
834
00:34:09,415 --> 00:34:11,248
Seriously?
835
00:34:11,250 --> 00:34:13,183
Seriously.
My night just got ruined.
836
00:34:13,185 --> 00:34:14,584
What about my friend's
night, Hakeem?
837
00:34:14,586 --> 00:34:16,753
You haven't even asked
about Kennedy.
838
00:34:16,755 --> 00:34:18,388
Okay, I was about to ask you.
Is she okay?
839
00:34:18,390 --> 00:34:19,856
She's in the hospital,
840
00:34:19,858 --> 00:34:20,991

I'm going right now.
841

Nah, don't bother.

I think we should get
to know each other first.
881

Okay. You want to get

882

Yeah.
Okay, okay.
885
00:35:59,258 --> 00:36:01,591
So, what do you want
to know about me?
886
00:36:05,130 --> 00:36:06,930
Are you close to your father?
887
00:36:06,932 --> 00:36:08,331
Very.
888
00:36:11,637 --> 00:36:15,038
Then how come you haven't
brought him to see me?
889
00:36:15,040 --> 00:36:16,773
I want to negotiate
our deal first.
890
00:36:16,775 --> 00:36:18,208
And then
891
00:36:18,210 --> 00:36:19,442

892
00:36:19,444 --> 00:36:21,311

895
00:36:25,217 --> 00:36:27,484

to close a very big deal...

00:36:27,486 --> 00:36:29,953
Mm-hmm.
...with all kinds of...

00:41:05,931 --> 00:41:09,399
Your mama just started
having contractions,
989

but seeing this wasn't
our first go-around,
990
00:41:12,070 --> 00:41:13,903
you know, we didn't
rush to the hospital
991
00:41:13,905 --> 00:41:15,405
or nothing like that.
992
00:41:15,407 --> 00:41:18,074
Your mama actually was hungry
for some Chinese food,
993
00:41:18,076 --> 00:41:21,411
so I break down to the little
corner Chinese spot
994
00:41:21,413 --> 00:41:23,847
while your mom
called Aunt Carol
995

watch your brothers.

1005
00:41:50,008 --> 00:41:53,042
you were in such a rush
to come into this world,
1006
00:41:53,044 --> 00:41:55,845
and you've been

You're my youngest...
1008

a bit more than I should have,
1009

00:44:40,045 --> 00:44:42,178
She is not perfect.
1044
00:44:42,180 --> 00:44:44,213
Sometimes she will do
whatever it takes
1045
00:44:44,215 --> 00:44:46,382
to get what she wants
in a case.
1046
00:44:46,384 --> 00:44:49,786
Preston's a graduate
from Harvard, working for
the Department of Justice.
1047
00:44:49,788 --> 00:44:53,723
As the series progresses,
his idealism will be tested.
1048
00:44:53,725 --> 00:44:56,492
All I care about is the truth,
and my truth has no color.
1049
00:44:56,494 --> 00:44:59,062
A tragedy has come
to Gate Station,
1050
00:44:59,064 --> 00:45:01,364
and when there are questions,
I want answers.
1051
00:45:01,366 --> 00:45:04,300
Our mantra for the show
is get the audience
at the edge of their seat,
1052
00:45:04,302 --> 00:45:06,135
and when they're
leaning forward,
hit 'em with the truth.
