>> ON THIS EPISODE OF BIG ANG...
>> I'M DEFINITELY LOOKING AT
JAIL TIME.
>> OH, MY GOD.
WHAT ARE YOU SAYING?
>> CONSPIRACY.
THAT'S [bleep] TEN YEARS IN
JAIL.
>> I JUST WANNA THROW UP.
I WOULD NEVER, NEVER WANT TO SEE
MY KIDS IN JAIL, EVER.
IT MAKES ME SICK.
[techno music]
>> * I LIKE THE WISE GUYS
* THE WISE GUYS
* I WANT THAT
* I WANNA HAVE FUN
* AND GET WHACKED
* OH, MY GOD
* I-I LIKE THE WISE GUYS
* THE--THE WISE GUYS

* EVERYBODY LOVES ME
>> A.J. GOT ARRESTED, AND IT'S
BEEN, LIKE, TWO DAYS.
THEY SAY, "ALLEGEDLY," THAT HE
WAS SELLING DRUGS.
I DON'T KNOW.
RIGHT NOW, MY SON IS IN RIKERS
ISLAND.
RIKERS ISLAND'S LIKE A HELLHOLE.
I'M SO WORRIED, I DON'T KNOW IF
HE'S EATING, I DON'T KNOW WHAT'S
GOING ON.
WHEN HE GETS OUTTA THAT JAIL, HE
IS TO COME HOME.
YOU MISS YOUR DADDY?
KILO IS A.J.'S PIT BULL, SO,
WHILE A.J.'S AWAY, I'LL TAKE
CARE OF KILO.
COME ON, KI-KI.
GONNA GIVE YOU MEDICINE.
COME ON.
ALL KILO DOES IS SCRATCH.
HE HAS ALLERGIES, EVERY [bleep]
POSSIBLE THING YOU COULD HAVE
WRONG WITH YOU.
24/7, SCRATCH, SCRATCH, SCRATCH.
DRIVING ME NUTS.
YOU'RE WRECKING MY HOUSE
ALREADY.
LOOK WHAT YOU'RE DOING TO MY
STEPS.
DOG HAIR EVERYWHERE.
[Kilo whimpers]
LIKE I NEEDED THIS EXTRA WORK.
WHY DO I ALWAYS GOTTA TAKE CARE
OF SOMEBODY?
WHY CAN'T SOMEBODY TAKE CARE OF
ME?
THERE'S THE MEDICINE.
COME ON.
HE DON'T WANT NO PART OF IT.
KILO IS A LOT OF WORK, WITH THE
HAIR, AND THE SCRATCHING, AND
THE MEDICINE EVERY DAY.
AND HE'S BLIND.
[groans]
[Kilo growls]
LOUIE, STOP!
WHEN A.J. COMES HOME, HE'S GONNA
PUT IT DOWN YOUR THROAT LIKE HE
ALWAYS DOES.
KILO, YOU'RE TOO MUCH WORK FOR
ME TO HANDLE.
I CAN'T STOP MOVING AROUND.
MY NERVES ARE SHOT.
I GOTTA KEEP DOING SOMETHING TO
KEEP ME BUSY.
>> WHAT ARE YOU DOING?
>> I'M HOSIN'.
I'M NOT A GOOD HOSER.
>> SO, WHAT'S GOING ON WITH
A.J., WHAT HAPPENED?
>> [sighs]
I FEEL LIKE A.J. TOOK THE LIFE
OUTTA ME.
I NEVER WANTED THIS KID TO HAVE
ANY PART OF THE STREET [bleep].
THEY'RE TOO YOUNG.
THEY DON'T KNOW WHAT THIS
[bleep] LIFE'S ABOUT.
THEY'RE 23, THEY DON'T LISTEN.
I NEVER DID.
>> WHATEVER YOUR KID WANTS, YOU
GIVE 'EM.
HE'S GOT EVERYTHING IN LIFE.
CARS, A/C, TRIPS...
>> I DON'T EVEN KNOW HOW I'M
HANDLING THIS RIGHT NOW.
WHAT TO DO.
BUT ONE THING I [bleep] REFUSE
TO DO, EVER, IS GO VISIT MY SON
IN JAIL.
>> HE CAN'T TURN OUT LIKE OUR
FAMILY.
IT'S NOT GOOD.
>> NO.
>> DO YOU REMEMBER WHEN LOUIS
AND MINDY GOT ARRESTED?
>> REMEMBER THEY WERE IN RIKERS
ISLAND?
>> SHE WAS SIX MONTHS PREGNANT.
THAT WAS BAD.
I SPENT CHRISTMAS DAY WITH LOUIS
IN JAIL.
>> LOUIS IS MY BROTHER, MINDY IS
MY SISTER-IN-LAW.
THEY WERE ARRESTED YEARS AGO FOR
SELLING DRUGS.
I THOUGHT THOSE DAYS WERE OVER.
THESE KIDS--
>> IS THAT STATE OR FEDERAL?
A.J.
>> STATE.
>> AND IT'S THE SAME LIKE LOUIS?
SO, YOU GOTTA DO THE PACKAGES
AGAIN?
REMEMBER WE USED TO HAVE TO GET
THE FOOD MEDICALLY SEALED?
>> GET THE [bleep] OUT!
I'M NOT BUYING THIS STUFF.
"THIS IS NO GOOD," THEY SEND IT
BACK, "THAT'S NO GOOD."
WHAT THE [bleep]?
THAT WAS A LOT OF MONEY.
I AM USED TO THIS [bleep].
YOU KNOW, MY WHOLE FAMILY'S BEEN
THERE.
SO, WE'RE GONNA NIP THIS IN THE
BUTT RIGHT NOW.
>> IF HE HAS TO GO TO TRIAL, WE
SHOULD GO ALL AS A FAMILY.
THIS WAY THE COURT SEES THAT
THERE'S A LOT OF US, AND HE HAS
A LOT OF SUPPORT.
>> YEAH.
YEAH, REMEMBER WHEN I WAS
ARRESTED, THAT'S WHAT WE DID?
OH, GOD, HOW MANY PEOPLE WERE
THERE WHEN YOU HAD THE STAND?
>> LIKE 40.
>> WE HAD THE [bleep] COURTROOM
JAMMED.
>> YEAH.
I HOPE WE DON'T HAVE TO GO
THROUGH THAT.
>> IN THE ITALIAN FAMILY, WE
STICK TOGETHER.
ESPECIALLY A MOTHER AND HER SON.
I WILL STICK WITH A.J. THROUGH
THIS, NO MATTER WHAT.
I THOUGHT WE WERE OVER THAT,
DONE, SEALED, SIGNED, DELIVERED.
>> EXACTLY.
BOY...THIS SUCKS.
>> I KNOW.
WHEN I'M STRESSED, I COOK.
HOPEFULLY, A.J. WILL BE RELEASED
IN THE NEXT 24 HOURS, SO I WANNA
MAKE SURE ALL HIS FAVORITE FOODS
ARE IN THE FRIDGE, AND THE HOUSE
IS STOCKED.
>> HEY, ANG.
HOW ARE YOU, HONEY?
>> HI, BABE.
I'M MAKING MY SON SAUCE, AND I
NEED TO BUY ALL HIS FAVORITE
STUFF.
>> OKAY, WHAT WOULD YOU LIKE?
>> FOR MY SAUCE, I NEED THREE
PIG SKINS, SIX POUNDS OF CHOPPED
MEATS--PORK AND BEEF MIXED--
TWO SWEET, DRY SAUSAGE, WHOLE...
BABY BACK RIBS--ONE RACK.
>> ONE RACK.
>> GRATED CHEESE--GIVE ME A
POUND OF THE GOOD ONE FOR THE
MEATBALLS, GARLIC, PARSLEY...
COULD YOU GIVE ME SOME OF THE
FRESH RIGATONI?
YOU GOT PIG'S FEET?
>> NO.
>> I COULD GIVE YOU MY FOOT.
>> I'LL GIVE HIM MY FOOT RIGHT
IN HIS ASS.
LET ME START WITH THAT.
>> YOU GOT IT, BABY.
>> DID I SAY TWO PORK BRACIOLE?
>> NO.
>> OH, PUT THAT ON THE LIST.
>> YOU GOT IT, BABE.
>> MY SON IS VERY SPOILED.
HE HAS TO HAVE EVERYTHING HE
ASKS FOR.
EVERYBODY THINKS I SPOIL A.J.
THEY'RE PROBABLY RIGHT.
WHAT AM I GONNA DO?
ITALIAN WOMEN LOVE THEIR SONS.
I WANNA BE SOMEBODY'S DAUGHTER
FOR A WHILE.
>> I CAN'T BE YOUR SUGAR DADDY,
I'M SORRY.
I DON'T HAVE THAT KIND OF MONEY.
YOU'RE HIGH MAINTENANCE.
>> [sighs]
>> WHAT ELSE, ANG, THAT'S IT?
>> HOW MUCH [bleep] MORE YOU
WANT ME TO BUY?
>> I WISH YOU'D BUY THE WHOLE
STORE.
I'LL COME WITH IT, TOO.
>> MY SON'S AN EXPENSIVE CHILD.
WHO MAKES SAUCE FOR $250?
NOBODY I KNOW.
PEOPLE MAKE SAUCE, THEY SPEND
$10.
WHEN A.J.'S RELEASED, I WANNA
MAKE SURE HE EATS RIGHT, GOES TO
WORK EVERY DAY, STAYS
RESPONSIBLE, AND STAYS ON THE
STRAIGHT AND NARROW.
EVERYTHING'S FOR A.J., MY BABY.
>> DON'T FORGET OUR SAUCE, OKAY?
>> MAYBE I'LL BRING YOU SOME.
>> BYE, BABY.
>> BYE, SWEETIE.
>> THEY'RE TOSSING BIG NUMBERS
OUT THERE.
>> OH, MY GOD.
WHAT ARE YOU SAYING?
>> CONSPIRACY.
THAT'S [bleep] TEN YEARS IN
JAIL.
>> OH, MY GOD, I'M HAVING A
HEART ATTACK.
>> A.J. GOT OUT ON BAIL TODAY,
AND HE'LL BE HERE SOON TO TELL
ME WHAT HAPPENED.
>> MA.
>> WHAT THE HELL?
I MISS YOU SO MUCH.
>> I MISS YOU TOO.
>> I WAS VERY WORRIED ABOUT YOU.
WHAT DID YOU EAT?
>> NOTHING, A CHEESE SANDWICH.
>> I MADE FOOD FOR YOU.
BUT I'VE BEEN [bleep] WAITING
HERE FOR HOURS.
CAN'T BELIEVE YOUSE GOT ME
SITTING HERE LIKE A LOSER.
I DON'T KNOW NOTHING.
I'M FREAKING SHAKING.
WHAT THE HELL WENT ON?
>> I'M GETTING CHARGED WITH
CONSPIRACY.
>> I DON'T KNOW WHAT THAT IS.
>> THEY WANNA MAKE IT LIKE WE
WERE DRUG KINGPINS IN THE
NEIGHBORHOOD.
THEY HAD TO TAKE ME TO RIKERS.
THEY HOUSED ME.
>> OH, I WENT TO RIKERS ISLAND
TO SEE YOUR UNCLE SALLY AND MY
BROTHERS.
>> IT'S LIKE 35 BEDS.
>> UGH.
>> I SLEPT IN--IN MY CLOTHES.
AND THEY WANTED TO GIVE ME A
$300,000 BAIL.
>> OH, MY GOD.
I CAN'T EVEN BELIEVE THIS IS
HAPPENING.
THIS IS INSANE.
>> I CAN'T HELP WHAT--WHATEVER
THEY SAY I ALLEGEDLY DID.
I WASN'T DOING ANYTHING.
>> THERE MUST BE A RAT IN THIS
CASE, THERE MUST BE SOMEBODY
RATTIN'.
>> MY LAWYER SAID, "STAY OUT OF
THE NEIGHBORHOOD," SO I'M GONNA
PACK MY [bleep] TODAY, COME
RIGHT HERE TONIGHT.
>> WELL, I THINK THAT'S THE BEST
THING YOU COULD DO.
IF A.J. WOULD BE LIVING WITH ME
ALL THIS TIME, THIS WOULDA NEVER
HAPPENED.
HE SHOULDA JUST STOOD WITH ME,
AND NEVER LEFT!
>> SO, I SEE MY LAWYER.
HE SAID, "LISTEN, YOU GOTTA
SPEND THE NEXT COUPLE DAYS HERE,
AND I'LL HAVE YOUR BAIL DROPPED
SUBSTANTIALLY."
I WAS LIKE, "WHATEVER, AS LONG
AS IT TAKES."
>> A.J., STOP WITH THE WISE
MOUTH, BECAUSE I DON'T [bleep]
LIKE THAT.
DON'T THINK IT'S A JOKE, JAIL.
IT AIN'T A JOKE.
>> THE NEXT DAY WE WENT TO THE
BAILOUT, AND THEY DROPPED IT TO
15,000.
>> THIS [bleep] NEVER ENDS.
I'M TELLING YOU, THE STREET LIFE
IS OVER, IT'S NOT WORTH IT.
LOOK AT YOUR UNCLE SALLY.
YOU NEVER EVEN GOT TO REALLY
KNOW HIM 'CAUSE HE WAS IN JAIL
YOUR WHOLE LIFE.
I NEVER WANT TO SEE YOU IN JAIL,
'CAUSE ONCE YOU GO TO JAIL, THAT
KIND OF LIFESTYLE STICKS WITH
YOU.
>> I SPOKE TO MY LAWYER.
I'M DEFINITELY LOOKING AT JAIL
TIME.
NO BULL[bleep].
>> OH, MY GOD.
WHAT ARE YOU SAYING?
>> THEY'RE TOSSING BIG NUMBERS
OUT THERE, TOO.
>> OH, MY GOD, I'M HAVING A
HEART ATTACK.
>> CONSPIRACY.
THAT'S [bleep] TEN YEARS IN
JAIL.
>> I JUST WANNA THROW UP.
I WOULD NEVER, NEVER WANNA SEE
MY KIDS IN JAIL, EVER.
UGH, I CAN'T EVEN THINK ABOUT
THE THOUGHT, IT MAKES ME SICK.
>> I GO BACK TO COURT IN A
COUPLE DAYS, AND WE'LL SEE FROM
THERE.
>> YOU ARE NOT GOING TO JAIL.
WE HAVE TO PREVENT THAT.
>> WELL, IF THEY OFFER ME
SOMETHING GOOD, I HAVE TO TAKE
IT.
>> WHAT ARE YOU DOING?
FEELING ENERGETIC TODAY?
>> A.J. JUST LEFT.
HE WENT TO BROOKLYN TO GO GET
SOME MORE STUFF.
I NEVER HAD SUCH A BETTER
NIGHT'S SLEEP THAN I DID WITH
KNOWIN' HE WAS IN THE OTHER
BEDROOM.
>> I NOTICED.
THAT'S GOOD.
>> WHILE A.J.'S STAYING WITH ME,
I CAN KEEP AN EYE ON HIM BEFORE
HE GOES BACK TO COURT.
IT'S TIME FOR HIM TO MAKE SOME
CHANGES IN HIS LIFE.
>> HE NEEDS TO GET INTO
SOMETHING.
I GOT INTO THE GYM.
LOOK AT ME NOW, I GO TO THE GYM
EVERY DAY.
GIVES YOU SOMETHING TO DO.
I USED TO SPEND TWO HOURS IN THE
BAR A DAY, NOW I SPEND TWO HOURS
IN THE GYM A DAY.
[laughs] STOP IT!
>> [laughs]
I AM VERY PROUD OF NEIL.
HE STOPPED DRINKING AND GREW UP,
AND HE FINALLY BECAME A MAN.
MAYBE SOME OF THAT WILL RUB OFF
ON A.J.
>> A.J.'S A VERY GOOD KID.
HE JUST NEEDS SOME GUIDANCE.
A LITTLE BUMP IN THE ROAD,
THAT'S ALL.
I'M SURE YOU WEREN'T AN ANGEL
WHEN YOU WERE A KID.
WE DON'T WANNA TALK ABOUT THAT?
>> YEAH, I WAS.
>> [laughs]
>> HE'S GOTTA DO AS I SAY, NOT
AS I DO.
>> NOT AS YOU DO?
>> NOT AS I DID.
>> THE FACT THAT HE WANTED TO
MOVE IN WITH US, THAT'S A START.
>> HE COULD SPEND A LOT OF TIME
WITH US.
>> AND HIS DOG.
'CAUSE HE NEEDS A LOT OF TIME,
THAT DOG.
>> OH.
>> AND I'M HAPPY IF YOU START
COOKING MORE MEALS AT HOME.
WHERE YOU GONNA PUT ALL HIS
STUFF?
WHAT, ARE YOU GONNA EMPTY HALF
YOUR CLOSET OUT?
>> NO.
I DON'T HAVE NOT EVEN THIS MUCH
ROOM IN MY CLOSET.
HE HAS TWO ROOMS.
WHAT MORE YOU WANT?
>> THANK GOD I ONLY HAVE FIVE
SHIRTS.
>> YEAH, YOU--
>> [giggles]
I'M GLAD HE'S HERE.
NOW I HAVE A MAN IN THE HOUSE TO
HANG OUT WITH ME.
WATCH FOOTBALL WITH.
CATCH SPORTS.
>> A.J. THINKS NEIL'S A GREAT
GUY.
HE REALLY, REALLY RESPECTS HIM.
NEIL COULD TELL HIM WHAT HE'S
BEEN THROUGH, AND HE COULD HELP
A.J. OUT IF HE'S HAVING A ROUGH
TIME.
>> [chuckles] COME ON.
GET YOUR BROOM.
RIDE YOUR BROOM UP THE STAIRS,
LET'S GO.
>> I HOPE I DON'T SOUND LIKE A
WITCH.
[patrons chattering]
>> HOW YOU DOIN'?
YOU LOOK CRANKY.
WHAT'S WRONG?
>> I'M TIRED.
>> I'M GOING TO THE DRUNKEN
MONKEY TO CHECK IT OUT, BECAUSE
I'VE BEEN SO FOCUSED WITH A.J. I
HAVEN'T BEEN AROUND FOR A WHILE.
HI.
>> ANG, WHAT'S UP?
>> WHERE THE [bleep] YOU BEEN?
I BEEN CALLING YOU FOR, LIKE,
TWO WEEKS.
>> WHAT'S GOING ON WITH A.J.?
>> OH...
WELL, HE'S GONNA GO TO COURT
SOON.
>> EVERYTHING'LL WORK OUT.
>> I THINK HE'LL BE OKAY.
>> HOPE SO.
>> COURSE, YOU KNOW MY BABY'S
INNOCENT.
>> OF COURSE.
>> WE ALL ARE.
>> HE'S INNOCENT!
>> YOU SAY YOU'RE GONNA BE HERE,
AND YOU'RE NOT HERE.
IF YOU'RE NOT GONNA COME, JUST
LET US KNOW.
>> SHUT UP!
WHAT DO THEY THINK, THEY'RE THE
BOSS?
I'M THE [bleep] BOSS OF THIS
SHIP.
YOU KNOW WHAT?
I ONLY HAVE PEOPLE THAT WORK FOR
ME THAT I CAN TRUST.
I TRUST THE GUYS, AND THINGS ARE
ONLY GONNA GET WORSE FOR A
LITTLE BIT LONGER, UNTIL I CAN
GET BACK TO THE BAR.
>> YOU DO HAVE PRIVATE RYAN
SERVING A DRINK RIGHT NOW.
>> I HIRED SOMEBODY TO COVER THE
BAR WHILE I'M NOT HERE.
>> WHERE DID YOU GET HER FROM?
>> I DON'T--
>> SHE [bleep] ESCAPE FROM
SOMEWHERE?
>> SHE JUST CAME FROM BOOT CAMP.
>> [laughs]
[laughter]
>> YOU'RE THE FACE OF THE BAR.
WHEN YOU'RE NOT HERE, THAT'S
WHEN YOU HAVE YOUR PROBLEMS.
>> LISTEN TO ME.
HONESTLY, I WANT TO BE HERE.
WHEN I STRAIGHTEN ALL THAT OUT,
THEN I CAN FOCUS AGAIN ON BEING
IN THE BAR.
WELL, YOU SHOULDA SAID, "ANGELA,
I GOTTA GO TO WORK."
>> I'M AT WORK.
>> GO TO WORK!
TODAY, A.J. GETS HOME FROM
COURT.
I JUST HOPE THAT THEY DON'T PUT
HIM AWAY.
>> THIS IS WHEN YOU NEED STRONG
FAMILY.
THEY'RE THE ONLY ONES WHO
SURVIVE.
DON'T CRY.
[balls clatter]
>> I WANT TABLE 13.
THAT'S MY NUMBER.
THE GIRLS DECIDED TO TAKE ME
TO GO PLAY POOL, GET MY MIND
OFF OF A.J.
OH, COULD I USE THAT THING?
>> ANG IS WORRIED ABOUT A.J., SO
WE ARE GETTING ANG OUT TONIGHT.
WE'LL HAVE A GOOD TIME.
I THINK IT'LL EASE HER UP A
LITTLE BIT.
ANG, SINK SOMETHIN'.
HIT IT HARD.
HIT IT WITH YOUR [bleep].
>> AAH!
>> DO-OVER!
>> THERE ARE NO DO-OVERS IN
POOL.
>> ALL RIGHT, THAT'S GOOD.
>> [laughs]
MY SKILLS IN POOL ARE NOT THAT
GREAT.
I DON'T EVEN KNOW HOW TO HOLD
THE [bleep] STICK.
THE ONLY THING I EVER KNEW ABOUT
POOL STICKS IS HITTIN' PEOPLE
OVER THE HEAD WITH THEM.
[laughs]
>> SO, ANG, WHAT'S GOING ON WITH
YOU?
>> THANK GOD A.J. GOT OUT ON
BAIL, BECAUSE THAT WAITING WAS
TORTURE.
>> THINKING ABOUT HIM IN RIKERS
ISLAND.
>> HE WOULDN'T CALL, I DIDN'T
KNOW IF IT WAS STATE.
IT WAS TERRIBLE.
>> OH, GOD.
>> NOW WE'RE GONNA SEE WHAT
WE'RE GONNA DO.
HE WAS ARRESTED FOR CONSPIRACY
TO SELL DRUGS.
>> HE GOT INVOLVED WITH THE
WRONG PEOPLE, THE WRONG CREW.
>> THIS IS WHEN YOU NEED STRONG
FAMILY.
>> EXACTLY.
>> THEY'RE THE ONLY ONES WHO
SURVIVE, IF YOU'RE LUCKY.
DON'T CRY.
>> [sobbing] I FEEL TERRIBLE.
>> I KNOW, BUT HE'S GONNA BE
GOOD.
>> [sniffles]
JUST THINKING ABOUT A.J. IS
REALLY BREAKING MY HEART.
EVERY TIME I THINK OF MY POOR
NEPHEW, I JUST START TO CRY.
[sniffles]
HE'S LIKE MY SON.
WHAT COULD I SAY?
IT REALLY IS TAKING A BIG TOLL
ON ME.
>> LISTEN, WHEN WE WERE YOUNGER,
WE ALL MADE MISTAKES TOO.
GOD BLESS HIM, HE'LL SURVIVE.
>> THE GIRLS ARE CHEERING ME UP,
AND I FEEL BETTER.
THIS IS WHY I LOVE MY FRIENDS.
THEY'RE A LITTLE CRAZY, BUT
WE'RE ALWAYS THERE FOR EACH
OTHER WHENEVER WE NEED EACH
OTHER.
LET'S GO HAVE A DRINK.
>> I'M IN, LET'S GO.
>> A.J. JUST GOT OUTTA COURT, SO
I'M WAITING.
HE SHOULD BE ON HIS WAY HERE.
>> OH, GOD, I HOPE IT'S
SOMETHING GOOD, PLEASE, I'LL
HAVE A STROKE.
>> YOU?
YOU AND ME BOTH.
I DIDN'T GO TO A.J.'S COURT
APPEARANCE BECAUSE HIS ATTORNEY
ADVISED ME NOT TO, 'CAUSE OF MY
OWN PAST COURT HISTORY.
I'M WORRIED, I DON'T KNOW WHAT
THE [bleep] IS GOING ON.
I WON'T KNOW NOTHIN' TILL HE
GETS HERE.
I JUST HOPE THAT THEY DON'T PUT
HIM AWAY.
I DON'T KNOW WHAT THE [bleep]
IT'S GONNA BE.
I'M VERY NERVOUS.
>> OH, PLEASE, DON'T EVEN SAY
THAT.
PICTURE THAT, GOING AWAY?
NO. YOU CAN'T SUPPORT THAT.
>> I CAN'T STAND THIS FEELING
THAT I HAVE.
I DON'T LIKE THIS [bleep] JAIL
THING.
I DON'T EVEN LIKE THE WORD.
>> I THINK WHATEVER IT IS, HE'LL
BE FINE.
HE'S A GOOD KID.
>> BUT I HATE WHEN I DON'T
[bleep] KNOW WHAT'S GOING ON.
>> YOU'RE SITTING ON PINS AND
NEEDLES, I BET.
>> NO, I DON'T--YOU KNOW, I
REALLY DON'T WANT TO TALK ABOUT
THIS.
>> ALL RIGHT.
LET ME KNOW, ALL RIGHT?
I'LL BE WAITING.
>> ALL RIGHT, BYE.
>> MAMA.
WE WENT IN FRONT OF THE JUDGE...
>> OH.
>> AND I LEAVE TOMORROW.
>> OH, MY GOD.
HAVEN'T HAD YOUR FILL OF
>> A.J.'S COMING HOME.
I DON'T KNOW WHAT THE JUDGE
SAID.
I'M STRESSED OUT THINKING MY SON
COULD GO TO JAIL.
>> MAMA.
>> OH, ABOUT TIME.
I'M [bleep] SITTING HERE HAVING
ANXIETY AGAIN.
I-I CAN'T TAKE SITTING AROUND
WAITING FOR YOU TO COME OUT OF
COURT.
WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED TODAY?
GIVE ME A KISS.
YOU TIRED?
>> I'VE BEEN UP ALL NIGHT
STRESSING ABOUT THIS.
SO, I GOT A LOTTA--
A LOT SETTLED.
>> OH, WENT WELL?
>> WE WENT IN FRONT OF THE
JUDGE.
WE PUT IN FOR THE DRUG PROGRAM.
>> SINCE A.J.'S BEEN ARRESTED,
HE'S LOOKING TO GET INTO A DRUG
REHABILITATION CENTER, WHICH
COULD HELP HIM, 'CAUSE HE NEEDS
IT.
>> HE ASKED ME TO GO UP.
>> OH.
>> "DO YOU UNDERSTAND WHAT
YOU'RE PUTTING YOURSELF INTO?"
"YES, YOUR HONOR."
IT'S NOT LIKE I'M DOING THIS TO
ESCAPE ANY JAIL TIME.
I'M DOING THIS TO GET HELP AND
TO HELP MYSELF.
AND IT WAS ACCEPTED.
>> THAT'S A GOOD THING.
I'M SO GLAD THE JUDGE DECIDED TO
LET A.J. GO TO A TREATMENT
PROGRAM.
HE HAS A CHANCE TO CHANGE HIS
LIFE AROUND INSTEAD OF WINDING
UP LIKE SOME OF MY OTHER FAMILY
MEMBERS.
>> WE PUT IN FOR THE RESIDENTIAL
PROGRAM, AND I LEAVE TOMORROW.
>> EVERYTHING'S HAPPENING A
LITTLE TOO FAST.
I CAN'T BELIEVE I JUST GOT A.J.
BACK INTO THE HOUSE, AND NOW
HE'S LEAVING TOMORROW.
>> THE JUDGE SAID IT'S A LONG
PROGRAM, IT'S LIKE 18 TO 24
MONTHS.
>> OH, MY GOD.
THAT'S A BIT MUCH.
>> I THINK I CAN'T SPEAK TO YOU
FOR THE FIRST COUPLE WEEKS.
>> OH, NO.
>> IT'S LONG, BUT AFTER TWO
MONTHS, I GET VISITS.
I COULD GET OUT ON WORK RELEASE
IN THREE MONTHS.
SO, IN THREE MONTHS, I'LL BE
BACK HERE, YOU KNOW?
IF THE--IF--
>> SO, YOU'LL BE HOME FOR
CHRISTMAS.
>> MAYBE.
I HOPE SO.
>> AT LEAST HE'S GOING TO
SOMEPLACE I KNOW HE'LL BE SAFE,
AND I COULD SLEEP AT NIGHT
KNOWING WHERE HE IS, AND I COULD
SEE HIM ONCE IN A WHILE.
I THINK THAT'S BETTER THAN JAIL.
FRIGGIN' THE PROGRAM YOU COULD
USE.
>> OH, IT'S A LOT BETTER.
WHO WANTS TO GO TO JAIL?
>> AND I THINK THIS IS GONNA BE
GOOD.
>> ME TOO.
NO MORE MESSIN' AROUND.
>> YOU HAVE TO BE A MAN, YOU
HAVE TO DO WHAT YOU HAVE TO DO,
AND YOU HAVE TO GET YOUR ACT
TOGETHER.
THAT'S IT.
>> I DO.
>> BOTTOM LINE.
AND THEN YOU COME HOME, AND YOU
STAY HERE.
MAYBE MY SON HAS FINALLY LEARNED
HE HAS TO LISTEN TO HIS MOTHER.
A.J. IS 23, THINKS HE KNOWS
EVERYTHING.
HE DOESN'T KNOW [bleep].
WHEN HE COMES HOME, HE'S LIVIN'
WITH ME TILL HE GETS MARRIED.
THAT'S IT!
>> I JUST WANT THIS NIGHTMARE TO
BE OVER.
>> I'M LOOKIN' FORWARD FOR YOU
TO START A NEW LIFE.
>> NEXT TIME, ON BIG ANG...
>> WE GOT A POOL BOY!
>> WHAT DO YOU NEED A POOL BOY
FOR?
>> THIS IS MY BIRTHDAY PRESENT
FOR ME...
>> 'CAUSE SHE AIN'T HAV--
>> 'CAUSE YOU DIDN'T BUY ME ONE.
>> OH, YEAH.
>> OH, LOOK HOW NICE.
>> I THINK I'M GONNA THROW MY
SISTER JANINE A BIG SURPRISE
PARTY.
>> WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?
>> UH--
WE ARE TOTALLY BUSTED.
SHE KNOWS SOMETHIN'.
>> I LOVE IT.
YOU WANNA DO THAT?
>> IS SHE NUTS?
I AIN'T GETTIN' ON NO
MOTORCYCLE.
>> HERE WE GO, GIRLFRIEND!
>> WHOA!
>> STOP!
WHY ARE YOU GRABBIN' MY [bleep]?
>> [laughs]
