" It's over!" "Vernon:" "Olivia's living with some dude put his hands on her, so she got an order of protection against him." "Jamal, you think there's a possibility that this little girl might" " really be your daughter?" " Yeah." "Cookie:" "Nothing good can come from loving you." " You know I got rules, right?" " Oh, man, break the rules!" "Lucious is my boss." "Listen, you're off limits to me." "I think I would be the most qualified to be the interim head of the company if for any reason Lucious Lyon were to be temporarily incapacitated." "Lucious:" "You will never run my company!" "I work harder than anybody up in here." "I made Empire!" "(Indistinct shouting)" "Hold him down." "Cookie:" "Lucious, don't do this." "(Sighs)" "(Sniffles, clears her throat)" "Lucious ain't gonna make it, but he said he's gonna see you tomorrow, baby, at the house when we sign those papers for the IPO."

"Mama gonna put a lid on that." "Music therapy can be very effective treating bipolar disorder." "It helps with stress, depression, extreme highs and lows and thoughts of suicide." "Sirak:" "Andre responds well to it." "And plus, he responds well to all the money we finna make." "Bro, are you excited that we got this IPO thing started?" "Yeah." "Jamal:" "Yeah, man, that's-that's all 'cause of you, Dre." "It's..." "Cookie:" "Yeah." "Us signing over these shares..." "That's crazy symbolic." "This is the final step before your company is publicly traded, babe." "You have to be there." "Cookie:" "Hey, hey, just everybody hold on for a minute." "And what is this bipolar disorder?" "Is this your idea?" " Mine?" " Yes, yours." "Yeah, 'cause you know that wack stuff that psychiatrist said and-and music therapy, whatever this is..." "That's white people problems." "See, 'cause my baby's strong." "He's a Lyon." "He can beat anything." "No, this isn't a white person thing, Cookie." "I was diagnosed my junior year in college." "That was when he had his first psychotic break." "Never fear." "Andre's here." "(Laughs) I got presents." "Presents for everybody." "Dre, why you away from school?" "Olivia!" "Let's see what I got for my dear, darling sister-in-law." "School is for ordinary people, J." " Andre is... exceptional." " Jamal:" "What's wrong with you?" " Lucious, is this your oldest?" " Yeah." "Uh, they call me Andre Lyon, pretty lady." "You can call me..." "Santa Claus." "(Laughs) She's pretty, papa." " Hey." "Why you tripping, man?" " Pop, I'm good!" "Hey, it's Christmas in July, pops." "Ho, ho, ho." "Oh, it's not July, though, is it?" "Y'all, Andre's tripping." "It's all... it's christmastime." " I got watches, I got scarves, got hats." " Andre..." "No, no." "Whoa, whoa." " Dre, come here." " Oh, what's going on?" " Jamal:" "What's wrong with him?" " Andre:" "I love you, dad." " That's why I came." " What are you smoking?" "Smoking nothing." "Smoking happiness." "Merry Christmas." "God bless everyone!" "Andre." "I'm so sorry I wasn't there for you, baby." "I'm so sorry." "We gonna go to your daddy's house, and we gonna sign away your shares so the company can become public." "This is all happening because of you, Dre." "Jamal:" "Dre, it's all 'cause of you." "Know what I'm saying?" "Empire going public." "We wouldn't even know what IPO was if it wasn't for you." "Hakeem:" "And dad still needs you." "You know he can't bring this thing home without you, bro." "Come here." "Come here." "I don't what's gonna happen, but whatever that judge says," "I want you to remember mommy loves you." "Don't you ever forget that, ok?" "(Crying):" "He won't talk." "Rhonda:" "I know." "(Sniffling)" "So you really are trying to give Cookie the same amount of shares as the boys, huh?" "My way of thinking is, if she has her own, she's not gonna give me that much trouble when I ask her to sign the prenup." "Come on, man, you're not seriously thinking about marrying her again?" "I want to spend the rest of my life with Cookie." "Having my family with me before I die... that's what's important." "Well, if family's important to you, you need to go to the hospital and see Andre." "(Sighs)" "Yeah, I don't want to see him like that." "I'll see him at the house when we do the transfer of the stock." "Okay." "So you think Cookie's gonna be okay with this?" "Cookie missed out on raising our-our boys." "We got a second chance now with Lola." "She loves her." "Yeah, me, Lola and Cookie." "I'm gonna get it right this time." "Oh." "We got reasons to be cheerful, bro." "Can't believe we're about to take this thing public." "After all these years." "Come on, now, don't leave me hanging." "We?" "You mean me." "This is mine." "I built this." "Yeah, right." "So this is about me and Dre, huh?" "And the temporary incapacitation, now." "We were trying to protect you, bro." "Yeah." "You tried to pull a cool on me." "Now, Andre I expect that from because he's book-smart, but you... you from the streets." "You ought to know better." "At least I thought you did." "All right." "Like you said, all right?" "This is all you, right?" "This your company." "(Knocking at door)" "Come in." "May I have a word?" "Did I violate some top secret, super classified security code?" "No." "I'm the one that violated the code." "My own personal code of conduct." "And that is a problem." "Yeah, well, I'm sure you know I got a nasty rap sheet, so I'm not really one to judge." "Well, I've been disloyal to my commander by falling for his wife." "That is a serious breach of every pledge I've ever sworn." "So I hope you understand I will be keeping my distance and..." "I didn't want you to think I wasn't, you know, around." " Yeah." " Um, wait." "Are you saying you're falling for me?" "I'm saying that." "I can't stop thinking about you." "And I'm sorry if I overstepped." "Malcolm..." "You want to leave?" "You want me to?"

"It's..." "What's up?" "Is it just a song, or is..." "Is that really you?" "Oh." "I mean, I don't think that Lola should be staying with my dad." "You know, especially since Anika's gone." "Thinking about taking her off his hands." "That's a big step." "Yeah, well, you were the one that told me I should spend time with her, right?" "Yeah, I know." "It's..." "I respect your decision, Jamal, so much." "Like..." "It's beyond." "I don't know, I guess you're a better man than me." "Ryan, come on, man." "It's not like I'm asking you to co-parent or something." " I know." " Obviously, we're not there yet." "I-I know." "It's just..." "It's not something that I see taking on." "Right."

"You don't have to do that, Jamal." "I want to." "I'm going to." "No, Lola don't need to be raised in that kind of lifestyle, son." "Really?" "What lifestyle is that?" "Don't be a smart ass, Jamal." "You know what I'm talking about." "Look, if you love Lola, you want what's best for her, right?" "What if she's not perfect?" "What if she has that trait that you just can't seem to look at?" "Andre, can you hear me, babe?" " I'm gonna come visit you, okay?" " Dad..." "Man:" "Uh, Mr. Lyon, your son has a serious mental illness." "If he gets the right care, he can lead..."

"Baby, guess who decided out of nowhere that they want to be a daddy." "Uh, Carol, girl, uh, you know I told you, you gotta have that oil bubbling hot when you put your chicken in." "Yeah, so call me later." "Let me know how it works out." "All right, bye." "He's doing the right thing, Lucious." "You need to support him." "I have been, but you know that..."

"Hakeem:" "Hey, yo, I hope y'all don't mind, I brought Camilla." "We've got a new song we want to play for y'all tonight." "So, Yoko, you got the tambourine under that fur?" "Hakeem:" "Cut it out, ma." "Can we be civil, Cookie?" " For Hakeem's sake?" " Yeah, okay." "For Hakeem's sake." "'Cause I love you, Hakeem." "She got her drawers wrapped around my baby's neck." "He can't breathe." "Jamal:" "That's a good one." "Yeah." "Hakeem:" "She's designing all my looks." "Look how cute he looks there." "That's a good one." "Hakeem:" "That's how you build our brand." "And Camilla had some extra material, so she made me a scarf." "Aw, fool, looks good." "You look chic." "She say we're like the new Antony and Cleopatra." "(Laughs) Child..." "Jamal:" "Y'all know that's a tragedy, where they end up dying at the end, right?" "Stop, boy." "Hey, everyone." "This is Ms. Jaworski." " She is our notary for the night." " Hi." "Who's ready to sign these papers so we can get rich?" "Not until Andre and Rhonda get here." "Okay." "Hey, why don't you help yourself to the buffet" " while we wait?" " Yes, sir." "Well, this seems like a good time." "Lucious:" "A good time for what?" "Well, Hakeem and I share some feelings..." "Oh they're sharing feelings now, y'all." "Camilla:" "Is that Hakeem's musical palette is limited for an artist at his level." "He should be expanding beyond the simplistic rapping..." "Wait, wait." "Hold on, miss thing." "He's a rapper." " That's what he does." "He wraps." " Dad, just check her out." "Go ahead, baby." "Like, in the beginning, the Lucious Lyon sound drew on a variety of influences."

"God didn't need no help, and neither do I." "After all this, you're saying you want to take Lola back?" "Yeah." "Yeah, that's right." "How is she?" "I do miss her." "Oh, great." "Where's Andre?"

" Here, take this watch. $30,000." " No, it ain't about no watch." " See, you took her from me..." " Just shut the hell up, and tell me what you want." " What I want..." " No!" " Is to kill your ass." " Do it." "Do it." " Do it!" " Don't!" "Stop!" "Stop!" "Stop!" "Stop!" "Stop!" "It was me!" "I'm the father." "I put the baby in her, not him." "I did it." "It was me." "I'm the father of the baby." "Shoot me!" "Is that true?" " Hey, hey, hey." " Don't!" "Stop!" "Stop!" "No!" "Stop!" "No, no, no, no, wait, wait, wait." "Dude, I done came clean." "It's me." "I'm the one that promised her that if she married Jamal," "I was gonna make her a star." "I'm the one that got her pregnant." "She was lonely." "Jamal wouldn't touch her." "I took advantage." "I'm the bad man." "If you kill me, everyone in this room would applaud." "You see the little pretty blonde there?" "She hates me." "My son..." "Wants me dead because I saved him from a con artist." "But the worst thing that I did..." "I let the mother of my children rot in jail for 17 years." "So trust me, Reg, if you shoot me, you would be everybody's personal hero." "Shoot me right here." "Let her go." "Be the hero." "Just let her go." "Nah, man, don't come any closer!" "Would you just let her go?" "!" "(Gun fires)" "(Screaming)" " Oh, my God." " Everybody, away." "Get back." "Get back." "Move." "Are you all right?" "I thought I lost you." "I wish he would have shot you." "He dead." "Come on, I got you." "All right, let's get some air." "I got you." "Lucious:" "What you looking at, huh?" "I saved your ass." "You the one that left..." "No word, no nothing." "Jamal, I left because you were so horribly unhappy." "You hated pretending to love me." "I was never gonna be in your life again, but I had to get Lola away from Reg." "And I had nowhere else to go." "And you could be her daddy." "Probably not." "Hey." "It's okay." "But I knew you would take care of her." "Because you're kind." "Reg said he was gonna kill me and Lola before he'd let us go." "I was running away to my cousins in Florida when he found me." "And I never meant to hurt any of you." "I swear I didn't." "I swear I am so sorry." "Cookie:" "It's all right." "You left your baby to save her." "There's nothing harder than that." "And now that he's gone, I'm gonna be the best mother I can be." "I promise I will." "Come here, babe." "Jamal:" "Say bye to everybody, hmm?" "Rhonda:" "Bye, sweetheart." "Bye, Rhonda. (Chuckles)" "You come back and visit whenever you want, okay?" "Okay. (Chuckles)" "Don't be sad." "Don't be mad." "How could I be mad at my Lola-bear?" "You gonna be good?" "Good-bye, baby girl." "Bye." " You be good to your mom, okay?" " Okay." "Cookie:" "So that when you grow up, you can be just as strong as her." " Cookie:" "Okay?" " Lola:" "Okay." "(Grunts)" "Can I still sing the Lyon song?" "'Cause I'm still a Lyon, right?" "(Chuckles)" "You'll always be a Lyon." "So you won't get scared." "I won't be scared." "Oh, let me help you with this." "Girl, I missed you." "Thank you." " Bye-bye." " Bye-bye." "Y'all be safe." "Man:" "This way, ma'am." "Cookie:" "You wanted to see me?" "You know, Cookie, there was a lot I wanted to say to you last night that I didn't get a chance to say to you." "Yeah, well, after last night, you might want to leave a lot unsaid." "No, no, I realized last night that I don't ever want to be in that position again that I could lose you." "I don't know how much time I got left in this world, but..." "I got 18,000 square feet." "I'll share it with you." "(Chuckles mildly) 18 thou... (Sighs)" "Are you asking me to move in with you, Lucious?" "No, I'm asking you to be my one again." "I mean, we conceived all of this." "You and me." "We built this together, we fought for this, we-we defended this." "You know, when I first got out of prison," "I had a stupid fantasy about us getting back together." "So stupid." "So I made mistakes." "And?" "I'll spend the rest of my life fixing 'em." "Lucious, you don't care about nothing but yourself." "Everything you touch, you destroy." "Look at what you did to my sons." "I can do better, Cookie." "And in the end, you're gonna understand the choices I've made." "I promise you, I can do better." "I..." "You just don't want to die alone." " It all looks good." " All right." "This is all the same info, really." "Mm-hmm." " Nothing..." " Right." "There's nothing really different in here." "Malcolm, excuse me." "I need to talk to you a minute." "Okay, give me a second." "I got your message." "You okay?" "Y-you're not having any PTSD reactions, are...?" "Take me somewhere with you, Malcolm." "I want to be alone with you." "Okay, let's do that."
