Empire (2015) s01e11 Episode Script

1 Previously on Empire I'm gonna produce an album spanning your entire musical career.
We'll call it Lucious Lyon Legacy.
You put a baby in her.
It was me! I'm the father of the baby.
No amount of money is gonna make me go away from Hakeem.
Did she take your money? What do you think? - I don't pray.
- Why won't you just give it a try? You know all those tests that we've been doing? You got ALS.
You hear me out! 'Cause your life could depend on it.
Are you threatening me? Them four dealers you killed back in the day, you is a murderer, too.
Take me somewhere with you, Malcolm.
I want to be alone with you.
I'm asking you to be my one.
You get this done, and Empire is yours.
You're a star, and one day Empire is gonna be all yours.
I'm going after his empire.
I'm gonna take it.
What the hell are you here for? To give me my music back? - Cancel your IPO.
- Or what? I will bury your Empire and everyone in it.
Hey, boss, can we go over Hakeem's pre-release party with Snoop tonight? Not right now, I'm writing.
Please.
Okay, but when? Because I really Look, I said I am writing right now, Becky! You use your inside voice when you talk to Becky.

- Where is she? She didn't say, but can we please go through this list? - Nobody knows - Okay, okay, look.
I'm gonna introduce Snoop.
I say how excited we are that he's debuting his new album with us.
Then Snoop talks about Hakeem's record dropping the day the IPO closes, and then him and Hakeem do a freestyle, right? Call Hakeem.
I want to reign over my empire like Caesar Dum, dum, dum, I want to walk over water And die like Jesus That's it right there.
Yo.
It's your pops.
Tell him to go to hell.
Or wherever he sent Camilla at with his damn extortion money.
They can burn there together.
Are the boys coming - to Hakeem's thing? - Uh, Jamal has his own - album release events this weekend.
- Well, what about Andre? Uh, he'll be back at work on Monday.
No, is he coming tonight? Him and Rhonda.
I really I really don't think so.
My tribute concert's in one week, Becky.
It's gonna be billed as Cookie Lyon Presents the Lucious Lyon Sound.
Wow.
This is my last show.
Come on.
Don't say that.
Well, it is.
That's why I'm trying to write this amazing song.
I want to perform it in front of a packed stadium on the day that Empire goes public.
It's got to be epic.
It's got to be like a supernova.
That's how I want to go out.
Epic.
I need Cookie.
You got to find me Cookie.
Whoa.
This is really beautiful.
Hmm.
Whose place is this? This is my buddy's from Iraq.
I told him I was bringing a very special lady here this weekend.
You did, did you? Yeah.
Hmm.
Mmm.
- Let's go inside.
- Yeah.
- We can make a snowman.
- Ooh, yeah.
But I'm not trying to do that, honey.
This is going to be crazy.
Every artist that Lucious has ever worked with wants to be on this damn bill.
T.
I.
just hit me up he wants to do "Come Away With Me.
" - It's gonna be hot.
- It's the biggest thing I've ever done.
My name's on it, you know? Cookie Lyon Presents.
Do you think, uh, Cookie Lyon Presents would like to take a little break with me? - Huh? - Come here.
- Oh, okay.
- Yeah.
- Yeah, whole lot of hard work.
- I know, I know.
I'm sorry.
No.
There's nothing to be sorry about.
Ok.
- Are you nervous? - Me? Hell, no.
Shoot.
It's just that I haven't been with anybody but Lucious.
Are you serious? Yeah.
That's beautiful.
I tell you what we'll take it as fast as you want 'cause you're in charge.
Oh, I've never seen anything In much more than you and me Extraordinary machine Oh, I've never loved - I've never loved - Ooh, you work out.
Never loved someone like this All I know is I was sent here for you We were made to love We were made to love You were sent for me, too We were made to love We were made to love We still need to give you your shots and take your blood pressure.
We can do that up in your office.
No, I don't have time.
I got too much to do.
You're feeling okay, though? Yeah, beyond this stupid double vision.
Becky, where's Ryan? You're early.
I thought you wanted to rest a while.
No, I can rest when I'm dead I got to get this party over with and get back to writing my song.
I need him to shoot my documentary find him.
Actually, he's with Jamal tonight.
- He's got a record signing.
- That's weird.
Double vision isn't usually associated with ALS.
I give you all of me But it still ain't enough to make you happy I give you everything You're hilarious.
Thank you.
Take care.
Bye.
How you doing? Thank you so much.
My my brother loves your music.
He's a huge fan.
Aw, that's dope.
So this is for your brother.
What's what's your name, man? - I'm Zack.
- No.
I I just I wanted to tell you, um, that you coming out, that gave me the courage to come out to my brother.
It was really cool of you, man his name's Joe.
I'm Zack.
Thank you, man.
I Really, I appreciate that.
Thank you.
Good for you.
Yeah.
- Thank you.
This is great.
- Right on, man.
So, um Joe and Zack.
Y'all, thank you.
Really.
- That was something special.
- Crazy.
Amazing.
Um, you can go to Hakeem's thing.
I'm not gonna hold it against you.
I know Lucious is paying you a lot of money.
Ah not after what he did to you.
How you doing? What's your name? I'm really concerned about Jamal and Hakeem.
Mmm.
They're supposed to cover their dad's song, "What the DJ Spins," but they're both so mad at him.
Yeah.
I don't blame them.
I don't blame Jamal.
Hakeem's better off without that money-grubbing bitch.
Oh, Camilla she didn't take Lucious's money.
What? But did he tell you she did? Oh, God, I wish he would just drop dead already.
Then we can make it a memorial concert, jack up the ticket prices really high.
So, Snoop, after your last album, you had a bitter split with your label and said you were going indie.
What made you decide to do a joint venture with Empire for your new album, "Bush"? Double I, man Lucious Lyon, the man, the myth, the legend right here.
And let's just say that, uh, Lucious cut me in on a piece of the action.
I mean, that's the whole reason I'm taking Empire public.
It's so that my artists can share in the wealth.
This is the age of social justice.
Like my man Jay Z said, "We gonna make 'em pay for what they did to cold crush back in the day.
" And wait till you hear Snoop's new one, "Peaches and Cream," honey.
- Titan! - My brother.
Hakeem Lyon's album debuts the day that Empire goes public, and in a moment, you're gonna meet the man I expect to take over Empire one day.
- Where is he? - I don't know.
Tonight you're touting your son Hakeem's upcoming release, but your son Jamal already dropped an album.
What are your thoughts about it? Well, you said it best when you said tonight we're talking about Hakeem.
The Source compared him to you.
And I quote, "Jamal Lyon's memorable verses and elegant riffs might actually surpass what was known back in the day as the Lucious Lyon Sound.
" Baby, you're not gonna divide and conquer with me.
Look, next week, I'm performing at the Mercury Arena, and I'm-a blow your mind.
The day that Empire becomes to be publicly traded on the New York stock exchange, I'm going to show you the brand-new Lucious Lyon Sound, and I'm inviting you to be there personally, so you can witness as Empire becomes synonymous with American culture and Lucious Lyon becomes a god.
Well, if he's God, I must be Jesus.
Mr.
Lyon.
- What's this? - A legal notice.
- Thank you very much.
- Get him out of here.
It's an injunction.
Beretti's trying to sabotage the concert.
Where's Malcolm? He's in the Berkshires for the long weekend, sir.
He cleared it with you.
Hakeem! I'm glad you're here.
Ready? I was born ready.
That's what I like.

Mal, if you don't, you're a fool.
- I'm over it.
- Really? Yes.
It's, like, welcome to my world.
Let's run it back.
So, Lucious made me marry Olivia, and then he slept with her.
And then, let him tell it, he impregnated her, and let me believe that Lola was mine.
So, yes, we have issues with him, but about Empire I want the company to be around when he's not.
And your album, fool.
You can't just walk away.
I'm not walking away.
I'm just going to a different label.
No, you're not.
You can't do that.
Yes, I can.
I never signed any contracts.
And he think he own us.
Well, guess what? He don't.
Oh, my God, he always doing something mm! Where the hell is Cookie? She's not answering any of my calls.
Cookie on her way back from the Berkshires.
She's supposed to be picking up her sister Carol from Penn Station, so she should be back no later than this afternoon, this evening.
Cookie's in the Berkshires? Oh oh, I mean no, I just said that for instance.
You know, she I don't know where she at.

I couldn't do it.
Sometimes it's hard to go back.
Don't judge yourself.

You know, this suit and tie, these shoes nothing fits.
Well, maybe God is telling you to try on something else.
Come on, let me show you my church.

Yeah, and it's all mine, baby, as soon as that IPO closes.
You want to know why I put my name on that concert? Because hell wants the devil back, and Lucious is on his way.

Yeah, well, you can't do that.
I am the board of directors.
- You were never on the board.
- What? Andre knew, the day that he made that deal with you, that a convicted felon can never serve on the board of a publicly traded company.
Nice boy, huh? Are you gonna leave on your own, or do I have to escort you? Sorry, Carol.
You're on a dark path, Lucious.
You're going down.
I'm not gonna let you take my company with you.
17 years, bitch.
Get off of me.
Everybody's just waiting for you to die, Lucious.
You gonna die a lonely man, just like you deserve.
You gonna need Cookie.
Watch what I say.
I built this! This is my company! Bow your head.
Well, I've been Given 15 minutes to collect my personal possessions.
So What reason did Lucious give for firing you? You know they got to give you a reason.
He didn't fire me.
So he told me to kick rocks for having sex with you, but you get to stay.
Lucious.
He didn't want me to leave.
Cookie, I want you to come with me.
Come with you where? To Washington, DC.
I got offered this high-level government job before I came to Empire.
I called to see if the position was still open, and it is.
- Malcolm.
- Look I want to take care of you.
All right? Come with me.
Malcolm, you are a beautiful man.
But I can't.
I can't leave all of this.
I I worked too hard.
I can't.
- Sorry, sir, but, uh - Yeah.
My time is up.
That's a phrase I've heard many times before.
Won't let me back down Can't turn me around No stopping me now Thank you.
Won't you please have a seat, son? No, I'm good.
I just wanted to pay you the courtesy of telling you in person you should start looking for a new CFO.
Oh, come on, don't be stupid.
Stupid? Yeah, I'll try not to.
Thanks for the advice, pop.
No, Andre, you worked your ass off to pull this IPO thing off.
We are almost there, man.
I'm not gonna be around forever.
You gonna look me in my eye and tell me if I do everything right, I might still get Empire.
No.
That's not what I'm telling you.
But you'll play a vital role, son.
I mean, I need you.
Empire needs you.
There was always something missing, dad A void that I filled with darkness.
But now I'm getting to know my god and he is filling that void with a higher purpose.
- God? - God.
What do you know about God? There's no higher purpose than being a maker of music.
That's the voice of God.
Andre She just called you the best songwriter.
How does that make you feel? I don't know about all that, but What's this I hear that you're the baddest songwriter that's ever lived on this planet? This guy, right? - Give us a minute, y'all, please.
- Thank you.
I don't need it, you can keep ya money I don't want it if ya gonna throw it I wouldn't believe everything that I read.
I saw that you were a devoted husband and father.
Did you hear about that injunction that Beretti slapped me with? I did.
What are you gonna do about it? Lawyers says I can't move on it, and he's gonna lock down half of my songs.
In times like these, I bet you wish you ain't lock out Cookie.
I'm at a different place in my life right now.
I'm writing these new songs.
Man, I mean, incredible songs.
But I keep getting stuck, you know? I get it.
It's that writer's block.
It's horrible.
Do you remember me talking to you about one of you taking over after me? I remember something like that.
I don't It might've slipped my mind.
I read a magazine article and it called you "the future of Empire.
" You believe that? 'Cause I do.
I just need to know that you got that monster in you That does what he has to do.
- ooh, ooh-ooh - Go on, Deacon Andre.
See? Deacon Andre.
Yes.
- You know what? - What? For the first time in as long as I can remember, I feel at home.
Here.
With you.
You're here with God.
Ooh-ooh, ooh Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh What the hell is all this about? You challenged me to break you from your creative block.
In order to do that, I'm gonna take you out of your comfort zone.
Daddy, please! Stay down! Oh, I get it.
You want me to throw your ass in the trashcan again, huh? Is that it? Look, I'm here because you said that you'd bring Cookie back.
Yeah, yeah.
All right, good.
Aunt Carol gave me the keys.
At least you walk like a man.
No, daddy! Please, don't! Daddy! Thank god! I was wondering what happened to this baby.
Dude, I made so many beautiful songs on this.
All right, let me hear what you've been writing.
Yeah, I told you it's not a song yet.
Come on guard down.
Just play it.
You're so crazy Lock, stock, barrel you're so shady Um Damn.
If I didn't know no better, I'd say you're a complete fraud.
Maybe Beretti really did write your best stuff.
Yeah, push that.
I'm in that mood today.
I used to worship you.
And even though you hated me for being who I am, and tried to beat it out of me, I worshipped the way that you made music.
I watched you work and I'd be like, "if I could make music like him, there's no way in hell that this man wouldn't love me.
" Say die! Say it, wuss.
- Say die! - Flossin' and flashin' - Say it! Say it! Say die! - Your assets and cash flow Flossin' and flashin' Your assets and cash flow Step aside.

Cookie Lyon Presents the Lucious Lyon Sound.
That was the agreement.
What? You think your work is done? I need you to get my masters back from Beretti.
- Then we got a deal.
- No.
That's over, anyway.
If if Vernon and the lawyers couldn't do it, - what makes you think I'm gonna be? - Do you want Empire or don't you? 'Cause if you want it, you got to be willing to take it to where they can't take it.
Otherwise There won't be an Empire for you to lead.
Lucious! Lucious! This place is a damn mansion! Lucious! Kill his ass.
Come on, Cookie, will you please - get over yourself? - Where is he? I mean, come on.
You did 17 years in the fed.
So now you trying to tell me you can't deal with Lucious for three years or less until he drop dead? - I'm sick of you.
- What's wro? All you think about is mo Look, I'm so glad you're here.
Carol, wow, you look lovely.
Lucious, what the hell is wrong? Look, let me talk, all right? I just wanted to say I may have - overreacted earlier.
- You think? And I've decided to let you produce the concert, and it'll say Cookie Lyon Presents What the hell is this? I got a text from Jamal saying he's on his way to Hakeem's to make a move on Beretti.
Hakeem's meeting with Beretti? Uh, yeah.
Beretti's trying to get your son to sign to Creedmoor.
And Hakeem is doing it to get back at you, dumb-ass.
Look, we're gonna have to talk tomorrow.
Okay? Juanita! Have Gary bring the damn car around.
Lucious, don't let nothin' happen to my babies! David and Goliath, David and Goliath David and Goliath Unlike Empire, we at Creedmoor believe making music should be fun.
- I can get with that.
- Chicken.
Where's my brother? Jamal Lyon.
Billy Beretti.
It is a pleasure to meet you.
- I'm a huge fan of your music.
- Mr.
Beretti, it's a pleasure to meet you.
I hear that, uh, you and my brother - might be doing business together.
- That's right.
All right, all right.
- Can we, um, talk outside? - Sure.
All right.
What the hell?! Chicken, back me up! Get the contracts and the pen out of my bag.
We're talking about the masters that you stole from my father.
I want them back.
Jamal! Oh, hey, look We told him to stop.
- Come on, Lucious.
- Shut up! Dad, you shouldn't be here right now.
You go get Hakeem, a'ight? What the hell is wrong with you?! Come on.
Give 'em a little privacy.
You will sign this contract turning over the rights to Lucious Lyon's masters in perpetuity, do you understand me? You're not gonna drop me.
My daddy thinks I will.
No! He thinks I'm a killer.
I think he's right.
Anika.
MG and ALS are very different, Lucious, but they both have quite a few symptoms that mirror each other.
The eye muscle weakness that caused your parallel vision, that only happens with MG.
It's very astute of your nurse.
So I don't have ALS.
I'm sorry, Lucious.
You know, ALS is largely diagnosed by eliminating other conditions.
There's no specific blood test, - there's no scan - I need one of you negroes to man up.
This thing I have, it's not as serious.
What's it called? Myasthenia gravis.
It's, uh, chronic but highly treatable condition.
And you didn't test me for it? After everything I said Get the hell out of my house.
Hey, yeah Ooh, ooh-ooh Hey, hey Hey! Trust me, son.
There is nothing wrong about getting right with God.
I mean, right here, right now, I am praising him.
Yeah, for what? Getting you through the IPO process? Well, believe me, Jesus didn't have nothing to do with that.
No, I did what I did for your best interests.
Now, look, son, we've been invited to ring the opening bell at the New York stock exchange next week I mean, it's the announcement that Empire is officially starting to trade.
I'm hoping that you and Jamal will stand on either side What about Hakeem? I was thinking that you should be the one to ring that bell, son.
Yeah, no thanks.
We got a bell here.
Look, everything's changed with me.
I'm gonna tell you more about it later, but right now, I need you To get back into the real world.
You can't spend your life hiding in this place.
As a matter of fact, that is exactly what I am planning to do.
I'll still be here when you're dead, dad.
I'll send a prayer down to you in a flameproof jar.
Hey, yeah Oh!
