>> PREVIOUSLY ON BLACK INK CREW:
>> WHAT YOU WANT TO DO?
>> MIXXXIES.
BLACK INK GIRLS.
>> POOR BITCH, I OWNED A [bleep]
BARBIE PLAYHOUSE AND [bleep]--
>> WHOA! WHOA! WHOA!
>> [bleep] YOU. [bleep] YOU.
[bleep].
>> WE JUST DON'T GET ALONG.
>> THERE'S CUSTOMERS HERE.
THEY DON'T NEED TO SEE THAT.
NOW EVERYBODY WHO'S HERE
GOT SOMETHING TO TALK ABOUT.
>> YOU MY BOSS OR I'M YOUR BOSS?
>> IT DOESN'T [bleep] MATTER!
>> GET YOUR [bleep] AND GET
THE [bleep] OUT OF HERE.
>> WHATEVER, CEASER.
>> OH, TODAY YOU DECIDED
TO BE A [bleep] BOSS?
>> WHO DO YOU THINK YOU ARE, YO?
>> LET HER GET HER [bleep]
AND GO.
>> MAN, GET THAT [bleep]
UP OUT OF HERE, YO.
>> WHERE THE [bleep]
YOU WAS AT, YO?
>> DOCTOR'S OFFICE.
>> YOU HAVING A LITTLE BOY?
>> I'M HAVING A PUMETTE.
>> [gasps]
>> ME AND KWANE ARE HAVING
A LITTLE GIRL.
WHOO!
>> YOU COME IN LATE
ALL THE TIME, YO, AND YOU'RE
MESSING UP WHAT I'M TRYING
TO BUILD HERE AT BLACK INK.
I NEED SOMEBODY WHO--
TATTOO'S HIS NUMBER
ONE PRIORITY.
>> YO, WHAT DO YOU EXPECT?
I DON'T GOT NO HELP OUT
WITH THE KID.
>> SO HOW WE GONNA DO THIS?
[hip-hop music]
*
>> TALK TO ME.
HOW WE GONNA DO THIS?
>> LIKE, I DIDN'T EVEN KNOW
I HAD AN APPOINTMENT TODAY.
>> HE HAS BEEN COMING IN LATE.
HE'S MESSING UP TATTOOS.
HE HAS BABY MAMA DRAMA.
LIKE, ENOUGH IS ENOUGH, MAN.
IT'S TIME FOR A SHAKE-UP
ON THIS BOAT.
SOMEBODY GOT TO GO OVERBOARD.
[bleep], HOW AM I SUPPOSED
TO RELY ON YOU IF I DON'T KNOW
IF YOU'RE COMING IN.
>> SOMETIMES I CAN'T.
>> I NEED SOMEBODY WHO--
TATTOO'S HIS NUMBER
ONE PRIORITY.
>> I DO, BUT I ALSO NEED
TO TAKE CARE OF HER.
>> ALEX MAY BE COMING IN LATE
AND HAVE A BAD ATTITUDE,
BUT [bleep]'S COMING IN LATE
AND MESSING UP MY BUSINESS.
YO, LISTEN, HONESTLY, THIS
[bleep] IS NOT GONNA WORK OUT
FOR RIGHT NOW.
RIGHT NOW, I CAN'T DO
WITH THIS.
THIS SITUATION'S GONNA [bleep]
UP OUR FRIENDSHIP.
>> SO YOU'RE SAYING BASICALLY,
YOU JUST WANT ME TO PACK
MY STUFF UP AND GO?
THAT'S IT?
NOT EVEN GONNA LET ME FINISH
THE REST OF THE DAY?
>> YOU MIGHT AS WELL
JUST PACK UP.
>> I JUST DON'T GET IT.
WHY IS IT ME THAT GETS FIRED?
EVERYBODY ELSE LOLLYGAGS
ALL DAY.
I FEEL BETRAYED.
ME AND CEASE GO BACK ABOUT,
LIKE, 15 YEARS.
WE GREW UP AROUND THE SAME
NEIGHBORHOOD IN THE BRONX.
HOW COULD YOU REALLY
DO THIS TO ME?
>> YOU'RE A GOOD DAD.
I KNOW YOU ARE.
>> SOME BULL[bleep].
>> HEY.
>> WHAT UP?
I'M ABOUT TO GET READY
TO GET OUT OF HERE.
I'M JUST PACKING MY STUFF.
>> YOU'RE NOT GONNA TAT?
>> NAH, NOT TODAY.
>> WHY?
>> 'CAUSE CEASE JUST FIRED ME.
>> THE DECISION TO FIRE [bleep]
WAS ONE OF THE MOST DIFFICULT
DECISIONS I HAD SO FAR
AS A BOSS.
>> IT'S SAD.
IT'S SAD THAT HE'S NOT
GONNA BE THERE.
HE WAS MY CONFIDANT,
AND NOW I FEEL LIKE
I'M ALL BY MYSELF AGAIN.
>> HOW'S YOUR DAY SO FAR?
>> IT'S KIND OF [bleep] UP.
LET ME PUT IT LIKE THIS:
I'M PASSED PISSED OFF AND ALMOST
TO THE POINT THAT I'M READY
TO SNAP.
I'M NOT GONNA BE SITTING HERE
TALKING HOW, "OH, YEAH, I WANT
BLACK INK TO BE NUMBER ONE,"
AND ARTISTS CAN'T EVEN COME IN
ON TIME.
THIS IS MY SHOP.
IF YOU DON'T LIKE IT,
GO GET YOUR OWN.
>> YOU DID SNAP.
>> NAH, I DIDN'T SNAP.
>> YES, YOU DID.
YOU FIRED PEOPLE.
>> IT WAS NEEDING TO BE DONE.
I GOT TO LET Y'ALL KNOW, THIS
[bleep] AIN'T HAPPENING NO MORE.
I NEED TO STOP WITH THE
BULL[bleep], SO THE BULL[bleep]
STOPS TODAY.
STRAIGHTEN UP BEFORE
I FIRE YOU TOO.
ANY WAY YOU PUT IT, [bleep]'S
NEVER DOING A TATTOO IN HERE.
>> THAT'S HOW YOU REALLY FEEL?
>> I FEEL LIKE A BASTARD,
BUT AT THE END OF THE DAY,
THIS IS WHAT I GOT TO DO.
YOU'RE NOT GONNA USE YOUR KID
AS AN EXCUSE.
WE ALL--I GOT A DAUGHTER TOO.
>> YOU'RE RIGHT.
>> TRUTHFULLY, I REALLY WANT HIM
TO PACK HIS [bleep] AND GO.
>> COME ON, LULU.
>> I DON'T WANT TO GO.
>> YOU WANT TO STAY WITH ME.
>> I KNOW, YOU WANT TO STAY
HERE, RIGHT?
>> YOU WANT TO STAY WITH ME?
>> YOU GOT TO GO.
YOU GOT TO GO WITH YOUR DAUGHTER
AND WHATNOT.
YOU CAN'T HAVE HER RUNNING
AROUND HERE.
>> COME ON, LULU,
IT'S TIME TO GO.
I DON'T--
>> I DON'T WANT TO GO HOME.
>> ALL RIGHT, SO WE CAN
GO TO THE PARK.
WE GOT OUR FREE TIME NOW.
I DON'T KNOW WHAT I'M GONNA TELL
MY BABY MAMA.
I DON'T KNOW WHAT IS GONNA
HAPPEN WITH MY FUTURE RIGHT NOW.
>> YOU DIDN'T HAVE TO FIRE HIM
IN FRONT OF HIS BABY.
YOU COULD HAVE WAITED TILL
HE LEAVE AND TEXT MESSAGED HIM
OR CALLED HIM--
>> PUMA, YOU KNOW HOW MANY TIMES
I CALLED HIM?
>> I DON'T KNOW THE HELL CEASER
FIRED [bleep].
IT'S LIKE YOU KICKING YOUR--
YOUR BROTHER OUT OF THE HOUSE.
>> [bleep], THERE'S A CHAIN
OF COMMAND, AND [bleep]
AIN'T FOLLOWING IT.
PEOPLE GET OUT OF ORDER,
IT'S TIME FOR PEOPLE TO GO.
>> CEASER'S TOUGH FOR FIRING
[bleep] WITH HIS DAUGHTER.
LIKE, YOU GOT BALLS TO DO THAT.
>> SO YOU DON'T NEED NONE OF US?
>> I NEED ALL OF Y'ALL,
BUT AT THE END OF THE DAY,
I NEED Y'ALL PROFESSIONAL.
IF Y'ALL JUST GONNA BE ON SOME
BULL[bleep], COME IN WHEN Y'ALL
WANT TO, Y'ALL CAN HIT THE DOOR.
>> HE HAS A NAME IN HERE, MAN.
>> YO, LISTEN, NOBODY'S PERFECT,
BUT HE WAS THE MOST [bleep] UP
OUT OF ALL OF US.
NOW THAT Y'ALL KNOW THAT [bleep]
AIN'T HERE AND I FIRED HIM,
I'LL FIRE YOU TOO.
>> GOOD MORNING.
LOTTIE, HERE'S YOUR DADDY ON THE
DAY THAT YOU'RE GONNA BE BORN.
>> I BEEN SHELL-SHOCKED--
>> [giggles]
>> THIS EARLY IN THE MORNING.
>> THIS IS SASSY.
WONDER TWINS ARE CURRENTLY
IN A YELLOW CAB
FROM THE STRIP CLUB.
>> * LOOK AT HOW SHE GO, GALL
* THAT GIRL GOT A BODY
* LIKE, OH, LORD
>> MY GODDAUGHTER, TAMIA LOTTIE
ROBINSON, IS ON HER WAY
AND IS ABOUT TO BE BORN.
>> ME AND SASSY HAPPENED TO GO
OUT THAT NIGHT TO SIN CITY.
NEXT THING YOU KNOW, I'M GETTING
A FREAKING PHONE CALL
THAT MY DAUGHTER'S BEING BORN.
LIKE, WHO THE HELL GETS A PHONE
CALL IN THE STRIP CLUB
KNOWING THAT THEIR CHILD
IS BEING BORN, MAN?
LIKE, IT'S WILD.
BUT REALLY?
YOU JUST HAD TO PICK
RIGHT AFTER I JUST LEFT
THE STRIP CLUB, THOUGH?
AT LEAST I'M NOT RATCHETLY
DRUNK, BUT, I MEAN--
>> HE DRUNK.
BUT HE'S STILL DRUNK.
TO BE WILING, SMACKING ASS,
THROWING MONEY, POPPING BOTTLES,
HAVING TO LITERALLY GO STRAIGHT
TO THE HOSPITAL TO SEE TAMIA
BE BORN--
THINGS ARE SO CRAZY RIGHT NOW.
I CAN'T EVEN DEAL.
WE'RE GONNA KEEP YOU POSTED.
STAY TUNED.
>> WHAT FLOOR DOES HE NEED
TO GO TO?
>> OH, I'M SORRY.
>> MAKE A RIGHT.
STRAIGHT DOWN TO THE ELEVATOR.
>> I NEVER THOUGHT ME
OF ALL PEOPLE--
NOW I HAVE A CHILD.
I'M HAVING YOU, GIRL.
I'M READY TO CRY RIGHT NOW.
>> IS THERE PAIN?
COME ON, HOLD MY HAND.
>> I REALLY FEEL BAD FOR KWANE
BECAUSE THAT LOOKS LIKE SOME
PAINFUL [bleep].
ALL RIGHT, SASSY, SHE'S ABOUT
TO HAVE HER RIGHT NOW.
>> [gasping]
>> IT'S OKAY, MOM.
>> WITNESSING THE BIRTH
OF MY CHILD HAD TO BE THE MOST
WEIRDEST, CRAZIEST MOMENTS EVER.
IT'S CRAZY.
IF YOU EVER SEE A CHILDBIRTH--
WHOO!
IT'S WILD.
[baby crying]
SO SHE'S HERE FINALLY.
I'M, LIKE, CRYING, BUT LOOK,
WORLD, THAT'S HER.
YEAH, NO MORE STRIPPERS,
I GUESS.
LIKE CHRIS ROCK SAID,
"KEEP HER OFF THE POLE."
THAT'S, LIKE, MY MISSION
NOW IN LIFE.
YOU'RE BEAUTIFUL, LITTLE GIRL.
I MAY NOT BE PERFECT.
FAR FROM IT, YOU KNOW?
I MAKE MY MISTAKES, BUT I JUST
KNOW I'M GONNA RAISE MY FAMILY,
YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN?
I'M GONNA MISS PARTYING, BUT
I THINK I CAN STILL DO THAT.
I CAN TRY TO FIT IT IN.
I DON'T THINK I CAN,
BUT I'MA TRY.
>> HOW IS THE BABY?
>> SHE'S SO LIGHT-SKINNED.
>> IS HE GONNA GET
A PATERNITY TEST?
>> WHY WOULD HE NEED
A PATERNITY TEST?
>> I DON'T KNOW.
MAYBE 'CAUSE THEIR BABY KIND
OF LOOKED WHITE AS [bleep].
[laughter]
>> YEAH, THAT'S BEAUTIFUL.
RIGHT THERE.
>> I'M DEFINITELY IN LOVE
WITH ALEX.
I'M GONNA MARRY HER.
SHE DOESN'T EVEN KNOW IT YET.
>> WHAT DO YOU THINK?
>> CAN I SPEAK FRANKLY?
THIS IS A UGLY GUY.
>> WE GOT SOMETHING
TO TALK ABOUT.
>> SO TALK.
>> WE GONNA FORGET ABOUT
THIS [bleep]?
>> HOW?
>> WHAT DO YOU WANT TO DO?
>> * FLY WITH ME
* TO THE SKY WITH ME
* DON'T BE SURPRISED
* AT THINGS YOU FIND IN ME
* STEREOTYPES
* WE LIVE A STEREO LIFE
* WHERE EVERYONE TRAVELS
* ON A DIGITAL FLIGHT
>> I JUST HOPE THIS
WEATHER STOPS.
LIKE, WHAT'S THE POINT OF DOING
MY HAIR IF IT'S JUST GONNA
GET ALL [bleep] UP?
>> [laughs]
>> SO WITH ALL THE CRAZY
CHAOTIC-NESS THAT'S BEEN GOING
ON, THE LADIES AND I HAVE
DECIDED TO MEET UP FOR BRUNCH.
HOW ARE YOU, BABE?
>> I'M SO TIRED.
>> YOU LOOK LIKE YOU HAD
A EVENTFUL EVENING AND MORNING.
>> EVENING, MORNING,
EARLY AFTERNOON.
I CAN'T EVEN BEGIN TO DESCRIBE
WHAT'S GOING ON.
BABY TAMIA IS HERE!
LAST NIGHT WAS WILD.
PROBABLY ONE OF THE CRAZIEST
DAYS I WILL EVER HAVE
IN MY LIFE.
>> SO HOW IS THE BABY?
>> YOU'RE A AUNTIE!
[laughs]
I NEED TO KNOW, LIKE, DETAILS.
>> WE WERE AT THE SHOP
YESTERDAY.
WE WERE TRYING TO FIGURE OUT
WHAT WE WERE GONNA DO--
PUMA AND I--AND THEN SOMEHOW
ENDED UP IN SIN CITY,
AND IT WAS JUST BAD.
WE [bleep] UP.
AT THE PEAK OF, LIKE,
[bleep]-UPNESS,
KWANE CALLS MY PHONE.
I GO FIND PUMA.
KWANE'S GOING INTO LABOR.
>> [gasps]
WHILE YOU'RE AT SIN CITY?
>> YEAH.
[laughter]
>> STOP PLAYING.
>> THAT'S, LIKE, SO PUMA.
LIKE, OF COURSE YOU'RE GONNA
BE AT THE STRIP CLUB
WHILE YOUR BABY MOM IS LIKE,
"HEY, MY WATER BROKE."
>> IS SHE CUTE?
>> SHE'S ADORABLE.
SHE'S SO LIGHT-SKINNED.
>> SO SHE DON'T LOOK LIKE PUMA?
>> SHE'S LIGHT-SKINNED.
SHE HAS KWANE'S NOSE AND LIPS.
>> KWANE WAS A FAMILIAR FACE
AS A MIXXXY.
THAT RAISED THAT QUESTION--
LIKE, "HOLD UP."
IS HE GONNA GET
A PATERNITY TEST?
>> WHY WOULD HE NEED
A PATERNITY TEST?
>> I DON'T KNOW.
MAYBE 'CAUSE THEY'RE BOTH BLACK,
AND THE BABY KIND OF LOOKED
WHITE AS [bleep].
>> THERE'S SOME MIXED FEELINGS
GOING AROUND ABOUT OUR LITTLE
BABY GIRL.
I BELIEVE SHE'S PUMA'S.
ALL OF THIS DNA TALK
IS A BUNCH OF BULL[bleep].
DID YOU GUYS HEAR ABOUT
THE FASHION SHOW?
>> YES, I DID.
IS THAT PUMA'S PEOPLE?
>> YEAH.
>> PUMA PRESENTED THE LADIES
OF BLACK INK WITH A AWESOME
OPPORTUNITY TO COME AND WALK
IN HIS FRIEND'S FASHION SHOW,
AND I AM PUMPED.
HE CALLED ME...
>> WHEN I GOT THE LINK TO IT,
I WAS HYPED, AND THEN I WENT
TO THE WEBSITE, AND I WAS JUST
LIKE, "YOU'RE NOT INVESTING
IN YOUR CRAFT ENOUGH TO MAKE ME
WANT TO GO DO THAT WITH YOU."
IF I GET AN OFFER, RIGHT, TO DO
A RUNWAY SHOW, BUT I GO TO YOUR
WEBSITE, AND YOUR [bleep] IS NOT
EVEN UP TO PAR, WHY WOULD I
PUT MYSELF OUT THERE LIKE THAT?
>> I THINK THE FACT THAT IT'S,
YOU KNOW, PUMA'S PEOPLE
AND STUFF--
>> YEAH.
>> I'M GONNA DO IT
OFF THE STRENGTH OF THAT.
>> MISS PRISSY PANTS FEELS
LIKE THAT SHE'S TOO GOOD--
SHE'S TOO MUCH OF
A "PROFESSIONAL MODEL"--
TO PARTICIPATE IN
THE FASHION SHOW.
SHE'S BEEN IN, LIKE, A COUPLE
TATTOO MAGAZINES, BUT, LIKE,
SHE'S NO ONE SPECIAL.
>> DO YOU FEEL, LIKE, THAT
US DOING THIS IS, LIKE,
A DISRESPECT TO THE FACT
THAT YOU DO IT IN A MORE
PROFESSIONAL-TYPE SENSE
AS OPPOSED TO HOW YOU THINK
WE DO IT?
>> LOOK WHERE WE'RE AT.
WE'RE IN A GENERATION WHERE
EVERYTHING IS TWITTER,
INSTAGRAM, FACEBOOK--
EVERYBODY'S A MODEL.
I CAN GO INTO THE BATHROOM
AND TAKE THREE PICTURES
OF MYSELF, AND GUESS WHAT.
APPARENTLY, I'M A [bleep] MODEL.
LAST TIME I CHECKED, I DID
THE COVERS FOR THE MAGAZINES.
I'VE BEEN TAKING PICTURES.
I'VE WORKED WITH BRANDS.
NOW, WHEN YOU GUYS GET TO THAT
LEVEL, YOU HAVE EVERY RIGHT
TO PICK AND CHOOSE WHO YOU WANT,
BUT TO SAY, "OH, YOU THINK
YOU'RE BETTER THAN US?"
THAT'S INSECURITY.
YOU KNOW WHAT?
I'LL BE THERE FOR YOU GUYS.
I'M CHOOSING TO DO IT.
>> OKAY.
>> WHAT IF YOU'RE PRESENTED
WITH AN OPPORTUNITY?
>> RIGHT.
>> WOULD YOU THINK
TO INCLUDE US?
>> YES, I WOULD DEFINITELY
INCLUDE YOU GUYS.
>> WHAT HAPPENED, LULU?
>> SHE'S TALKING ABOUT THE NUTS
IN THE TREE.
>> OH, YOU SEE NUTS IN THE TREE?
>> YEAH.
>> YEAH, I KNOW,
YOU'RE SO OBSERVANT.
>> YEAH.
>> I DECIDED TO ASK PUMA
TO MEET UP WITH ME.
I WANT TO SEE HOW EVERYTHING'S
GOING WITH HIM, AND, YOU KNOW,
REALLY GET A CHANCE TO TALK WITH
HIM ABOUT WHAT'S GOING ON.
SEEMS LIKE ONLY YESTERDAY
YOU WAS RUNNING AROUND RAGING.
NOW LOOK AT US. DADS.
>> DADS.
AND OF COURSE,
I HAD TO HAVE A GIRL.
>> OF COURSE YOU WAS GONNA
HAVE A GIRL.
YOU KNOW WHY?
BECAUSE OF YOUR PAST WITH WOMEN.
>> I WAS HORRIBLE.
>> YEAH.
>> DADDY GOES RIGHT HERE, DAD.
>> YOU GOT IT?
>> YEAH.
>> YOU WANT TO GO PLAY?
>> YEAH.
>> GO AHEAD. GO PLAY.
>> OKAY, DAD!
>> SO YOU GOT A PICTURE?
LET ME SEE IT.
UNBELIEVABLE.
>> EXTRA LIGHT-SKINNED.
>> YEAH.
SO WHAT'S HER NAME?
>> TAMIA.
>> THAT'S DOPE.
>> YEAH.
>> ONE THING YOU'RE GONNA
HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT
IS THE BABY MAMA DRAMA.
YOU GOT TO REALLY UNDERSTAND
THAT THINGS ARE GONNA GO FROM
0 TO 60 IN A SECOND, AND
I GUARANTEE YOU, SHE'S GONNA USE
THOSE WORDS THAT CUT YOU DEEP.
>> WHICH ARE?
>> SHE'S GONNA TELL YOU THAT
YOU'RE NOT GONNA BE ABLE TO SEE
YOUR BABY SOMETIMES.
SHE'LL PROBABLY EVEN KICK YOU
OUT THE HOUSE JUST 'CAUSE
SHE WANTS TO BE ALONE.
LIKE, ANYTHING.
>> OH, I'M NOT GONNA DEAL
WITH THAT.
I'M TRYING NOT TO HAVE TO DEAL
WITH THAT, MAN.
>> PUMA THINKS HE HAS HISSELF
A CLAIRE HUXTABLE WHEN HE REALLY
GOT PEGGY BUNDY, SO HE NEEDS
TO GET A REALITY CHECK.
YOU SEEN ME GO THROUGH IT.
YOU SEEN CEASER GO THROUGH IT.
THAT'S PART OF THE REASON WHY
I GOT FIRED WAS 'CAUSE OF ALL
MY BABY MAMA DRAMA.
>> YOU SHOULD COME THROUGH
AND TALK TO CEASER, THOUGH,
AT THE END OF THE DAY.
>> I CAN'T EVEN LIE.
IT HURT MY POCKETS NOT BEING
THERE, AND I KNOW HE'S HURTING
TOO FROM ME NOT BEING THERE
'CAUSE I MADE THAT WHOLE
BUSINESS A LOT OF MONEY.
ALEX WANTS ME TO GO,
BUT WE'LL SEE.
>> WHAT'S UP WITH YOU AND ALEX?
>> WE COOL.
>> OKAY.
THAT'S ALL WE KNOW ABOUT
THE BUSINESS AND PLEASURE
LEVELS, MAN.
>> YEAH, I THINK LULU
GOT IN THE GAME.
YEAH, I KNOW.
BELIEVE ME, I LEARNED.
>> SEEING O'[bleep] IN THE PARK
WITH HIS DAUGHTER--IT REALLY
STARTED ME, LIKE, THINKING,
LIKE, A LOT.
LIKE, I DEFINITELY WANT
TO BE LIKE THAT WITH MY DAUGHTER
ALL THE WAY, MAN.
>> ALL RIGHT, BRO.
I'M ABOUT TO GO DO SOME
DADDY STUFF.
>> GO.
BYE, LULU.
>> BYE!
[laughter]
>> ANY MORE NEW TATTOOS FOR YOU?
OR ARE YOU DONE FOR NOW?
>> I'M PRETTY MUCH DONE,
I THINK.
I HAVE AN URBAN INK PHOTO SHOOT.
THE LAST ISSUE THAT I WAS ON
THE COVER FOR WAS ONE OF THEIR
HIGHEST SELLING, SO I'M EXCITED
TO WORK WITH THEM AGAIN.
>> HEY, ALEX.
WELCOME BACK TO URBAN INK.
>> HI.
THANK YOU FOR HAVING ME.
>> WELL, IT'S ALWAYS A PLEASURE
TO HAVE YOU.
I HEARD YOU EVEN HAVE
MORE INK THIS TIME.
>> I DO.
>> I DON'T THINK ANYONE'S
SEEN IT YET.
>> YOU GUYS ARE GONNA GET
THE FIRST SHOTS.
[laughs]
>> WHO DID THE NEW WORK?
>> A REALLY DOPE ARTIST
BY THE NAME OF O'[bleep].
>> WE ACTUALLY RAN O'[bleep]--
A PIECE OF HIS.
>> REALLY?
>> YEAH, A WHILE AGO.
HE'S AN AWESOME ARTIST.
IS HE GONNA BE HERE TODAY?
>> YEAH, HE'S GONNA
STOP BY TODAY.
>> OH, THAT WOULD BE GREAT.
SO MAYBE, YOU KNOW, WE MIGHT
EVEN BE ABLE TO DO A COUPLE
SHOTS ON THE SIDE
OF YOU WITH THE PIECE.
THE NEW PIECE IS BY HIM,
SO, YEAH, WE'LL--
>> OKAY.
I FEEL LIKE THE BEST THING
FOR ME TO DO WOULD BE
TO INVITE [bleep].
HE JUST LOST HIS JOB.
HE DID MY TATTOOS.
IT JUST MAKES SENSE TO HAVE
[bleep] THERE.
I'M NOT GONNA INVITE GIRLS TO MY
SHOOT THAT WANT TO DO THE SAME
THING THAT I'M DOING.
DO IT ON YOUR OWN.
>> HEY, ALEX.
>> OH, MY GOD!
[bleep]!
OOH!
[laughs]
>> WHAT'S GOING ON?
>> TALK TO ME.
>> SO YOU TALK TO ME.
WHAT YOU GOT GOING ON HERE?
MY LIFE IS PRETTY BORING
RIGHT NOW.
>> NO ONE'S EVER CAME
TO SEE ME AT A PHOTO SHOOT.
>> REALLY?
>> I'M REALLY EXCITED.
I'M HAPPY THAT YOU'RE HERE.
>> OF COURSE.
YOU KNEW IT HAD TO BE ME.
>> TELL ME HOW YOU'VE BEEN.
>> I'VE BEEN GOING CRAZY.
LIKE, STIR-CRAZY.
LIKE, I HAVEN'T BEEN DOING
NO TATTOOS.
>> CEASER'S GOT EVERYBODY
ON THEIR TOES, SERIOUSLY.
>> YEAH, EVERYBODY THINKS
THEY'RE GONNA GET FIRED NOW
AFTER HE PUT ME OUT.
>> DO YOU REMEMBER THE FIRST
TIME I WALKED INTO THE SHOP?
ME AND YOU HITTING IT OFF AND--
>> LIKE, I THOUGHT THAT, YO--
IT WAS SO CRAZY THE WAY THAT
WE JUST CONNECTED LIKE THAT.
LIKE, WE JUST CLICKED.
I WAS JUST LIKE, "WHAT?"
I WAS LIKE, "YOU KNOW WHAT?
I DIG THIS CHICK."
>> WE GOT TO FIGURE OUT HOW
TO BRING YOU BACK TO THE SHOP.
>> THAT'S WHAT WE GOT
TO FIGURE OUT.
JUST LIKE YOU'RE THE BATMAN
TO MY ROBIN, BABY.
>> YEAH.
>> I'MA LET YOU GET
FINISHED UP HERE.
I'MA GO OUTSIDE,
AND I'LL SEE YOU LATER.
BYE, BABY.
YOU LOOK AMAZING.
>> THANK YOU.
>> ALL RIGHT.
>> THANK YOU FOR BEING HERE.
>> OF COURSE.
>> FINALLY, THE DAY HAS COME.
[laughs]
I GET TO SHOW OFF MY NEW
WORKPIECE, SO I'M EXCITED.
>> SHE LOOKS GREAT.
>> NOW WE GET TO SHOW
MY ARTWORK.
>> OKAY, LET'S GET
THIS THING STARTED.
>> YOU GOT IT.
[camera shutter clicking]
>> YEAH, THAT'S BEAUTIFUL.
RIGHT THERE.
THERE YOU GO.
THAT'S GOOD.
THAT'S IT!
THAT'S IT.
>> * SEE THAT YOU WANT ME
* BUT I DON'T KNOW
* IF YOU'RE READY FOR ME
* I GUESS WE'LL FIND OUT
* IF IT'S ALL A LOVE STORY
>> ALEX'S BODY IS BANGING.
SHE GOT THEM TIG OL' BITTIES.
SHE GOT THEM HIPS.
OH, I JUST LOVE IT.
>> NICE!
>> I DEFINITELY WANT TO BRING
YOU IN WHEN WE FOCUS IN ON THAT
LAST PIECE THAT YOU DID.
WE DEFINITELY WANT TO, YOU KNOW,
HAVE YOU LINKED UP DIRECTLY
WITH IT IN THIS, ALL RIGHT?
>> YEAH, THAT'S WHAT I WANTED
TO BE A PART OF.
>> BEFORE WE GO, O'[bleep]'S
GONNA COME IN.
>> COOL, THAT WORKS FOR ME.
>> THERE YOU GO.
THAT'S ACTUALLY REALLY GOOD.
>> ALEX PUT HER CHEEKS RIGHT
NEXT TO MY FACE.
IT WAS KIND OF WEIRD BECAUSE
I DON'T LIKE STUFF LIKE THAT
IN FRONT OF CAMERA.
I LIKE TO DO, LIKE, CHEEKS IN MY
FACE IN THE PRIVATE, SO IT KIND
OF MADE ME BLUSH A LITTLE BIT.
>> THERE YOU GO.
THAT'S IT.
>> I HAD SO MUCH FUN.
>> THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR COMING
TO SEE ME.
>> WELL, YOU LOOKED AMAZING.
YOU KNOW, I HAD FUN SEEING YOU
DO ALL YOUR THINGS.
YOU KNOW, YOU'RE LOOKING ALL
BEAUTIFUL AND STUFF.
I'M DEFINITELY IN LOVE
WITH ALEX.
I'M GONNA MARRY HER.
SHE DOESN'T EVEN KNOW IT YET.
>> THANK YOU SO MUCH, [bleep].
BYE!
>> YOU'RE SURE ABOUT
THIS, RIGHT?
>> YES.
COME ON, LEROY.
>> LEROY IS MY DOG FROM
A PREVIOUS RELATIONSHIP.
SIX MONTHS LATER, SHE BRINGS
LEROY TO THE SHOP DOOR.
LIKE, "YO, TELL CEASER TO TAKE
HIS [bleep] DOG.
THIS [bleep] ATE MY LOUIS
VUITTON SHOES AND MY PRADA BAG."
ALL RIGHT, WHERE YOU WANT
TO GO, BOY?
>> RIGHT, SINCE YOU LET HIM DO
WHATEVER HE WANTS TO, CLEARLY.
>> THAT'S WHAT YOU'RE SUPPOSED
TO LET A DOG DO.
>> YOU'RE SUPPOSED
TO TRAIN A DOG.
TEACH A DOG.
IT'S A PART OF YOUR TRAINING
THAT WAS MISSED OUT.
CEASER'S THE TYPE OF MAN THAT--
YOU CAN ADMIRE HIM FROM A
DISTANCE, BUT HE'S NOT SOMETHING
THAT I WOULD WANT TO TAKE HOME.
SO ALEX WASN'T AT WORK.
>> MM-HMM.
>> [bleep]'S M.I.A.
HE'S GONE.
YOU THINK SHE WAS WITH HIM?
>> MORE THAN LIKELY.
THEY ALWAYS TOGETHER.
>> YEAH, SHE IS CRAZY.
>> SEE?
YOU GOT TO OPEN YOUR EYES.
YOU TALKING ABOUT TRAINING
A DOG, AND YOU DON'T SEE WHAT'S
GOING ON AROUND YOU.
I DON'T KNOW.
>> AFTER I GET LEROY TRAINED,
THEN I'M GONNA COME TO YOU.
PART TWO.
>> I GIVE YOU ANOTHER 20 YEARS
WITH LEROY.
>> I NEED TWO WEEKS WITH LEROY.
TWO MONTHS WITH YOU.
>> HA!
GOOD LUCK.
YOU NEED 100 YEARS WITH ME.
>> THAT'S ALL I NEED.
>> YOU KEEP TALKING
THAT DUMB [bleep].
>> THAT'S ALL I NEED.
>> SOUND LIKE YOU NEED
SOME TRAINING.
>> THAT'S IT.
YOU ALWAYS GOT A MUTUAL RESPECT
FOR DUTCHESS.
SHE'S A GREAT ARTIST.
HER ARTWORK IS GREAT,
AND HER BODY'S EVEN GREATER.
>> YO.
>> WHAT UP, BOY?
>> I HEARD DUTCHESS IS DOING
YOUR TATTOO.
>> YOU KNOW, I'M A LITTLE
NERVOUS 'CAUSE IT'S A FEMALE.
>> CHECK IT OUT REAL QUICK.
>> I CAN'T HARDLY SEE IT.
STILL FEELS EMPTY.
>> IT SOUNDS LIKE I JUST LOST
A REALLY, REALLY GOOD CUSTOMER.
>> * I'M SUCH A EAST
* COAST SPITTA
* MY TEAM'S SO ILLA
* FOLLOW ME IN THE STREETS
* NO TWITTER
* IT'S MO' MONEY, MONEY
* WE GONNA GET THAT DOUGH
* FOR SURE
>> OH, [bleep] IS DEEP.
>> YO.
>> WHAT UP, BOY?
>> IT'S VADO.
>> VADO.
>> WHAT'S GOING ON, BABY?
>> TODAY SUPPOSED TO BE KIND
OF BUSY TODAY AT BLACK INK.
WE GOTS THESE LOCAL DUDES.
MY MAN VADO.
MY HOMEBOY NIGE, WHO'S, LIKE,
HEAVY IN THE BEHIND-THE-SCENES
IN THE MUSIC THING.
>> I HEARD DUTCHESS IS DOING
YOUR TATTOO.
>> SHE COOL. SHE DOPE.
>> YOU SURE?
I GOT NOTHING TO WORRY ABOUT?
>> WHAT YOU SUPPOSED TO BE
GETTING DONE TODAY?
>> IT'S A SAMURAI.
THERE'S TWO SIDES OF ME.
I GOT, LIKE, MY SPIRITUAL SIDE
AND MY WARRIOR SIDE, SO I NEED
TO MAKE SURE SHE CAN PULL
THAT [bleep] OFF.
>> WELL, I'M PRETTY SURE YOU
AIN'T GOT TO LOOK NO MORE.
PEOPLE DON'T GET HIRED HERE
UNLESS THEY DOPE.
>> SHE DON'T EVEN KNOW WHAT SHE
ABOUT TO DEAL WITH
WITH NIGEL, MAN.
NIGEL IS VERY PARTICULAR
ON THIS [bleep].
>> WHAT UP, DUTCH?
WHAT YOU GOT, DUTCH?
>> WHAT YOU THINK?
>> HMM.
CAN I SPEAK FRANKLY?
>> YES.
>> THIS IS A UGLY GUY.
HIS FACE IS A LITTLE TOO EVIL.
I WANT IT TO LOOK MORE LIKE
HE'S STRONG.
THIS LOOKS LIKE ANGRY VERSUS
IT BEING STRONG.
>> SO LET ME GO TO THE DRAWING
BOARD AND DO A LITTLE FACIAL
RECONSTRUCTION.
>> LET'S GET THIS RIGHT.
>> NIGEL'S GIVING ME A HARD TIME
BECAUSE I'M A WOMAN, AND HE'S
NOT USED TO A FEMALE DOING
HIS TATTOO WORK, BUT WE GOOD.
MY CONFIDENCE IS WHAT'S GONNA
GET ME THROUGH.
>> WHAT UP, [bleep]?
I AIN'T SEEN YOU IN A MINUTE.
HOW THAT MUSIC [bleep] GOING ON?
>> GOOD MONEY. GOOD MONEY.
YEAH, SLIME FLU 3 COME OUT
END OF THE MONTH.
>> WHOO! MUY BAD!
YOU HAD A FILL-IN SPOT, RIGHT?
LET ME SEE.
CLOSE THIS WHOLE [bleep]
FOR YOU?
>> YEAH.
>> I'MA TRY TO FIX THAT UP.
WHAT YOU WANT TO DO?
>> WHAT ABOUT THIS?
>> OH, YEAH, THAT'S KIND OF HOT.
RIGHT ON.
LET ME DRAW THAT [bleep].
GIVE ME, LIKE, A HALF.
WHAT YOU GETTING?
>> A SAMURAI.
>> ON THE CHEST?
>> SO IT'S GONNA COME RIGHT HERE
LIKE THAT.
>> NIGEL IS A BUSINESSMAN.
HE KNOW WHAT HE WANT,
AND HE GETS WHAT HE WANTS.
>> YOU KNOW, I'M A LITTLE
NERVOUS 'CAUSE IT'S A FEMALE.
>> YEAH.
DUTCHESS IS A NEW FACE
AS FAR AS TATTOO ARTISTS.
THEY DON'T KNOW EACH OTHER.
SHE GOT HER WORK
CUT OUT FOR HER.
>> LET'S SEE WHAT YOU HAVE.
IF I HAD TO GIVE IT A
PERCENTILE, THIS IS, LIKE, 75.
HIS FACE IS A MILLION PERCENT
BETTER NOW.
I DON'T KNOW IF I LOVE
THESE LITTLE CLOUDS.
I'M CONFUSED.
IS HE FLOATING.
>> WELL, THIS IS THE THING--
>> I DON'T KNOW SAMURAIS
THAT FLOAT.
>> NIGEL'S DRIVING ME CRAZY.
HE WAS BEING A ASS[bleep].
>> IT'S VERY CLOSE, THOUGH.
>> SO MAYBE IF WE CAN JUST
MANIPULATE THESE TWO
A LITTLE BIT.
>> YEAH.
>> OKAY, SO THAT'S WHAT
I'M GONNA DO.
>> YOU GONNA LEAVE ME HANGING?
>> WE ONLY GOT ONE CHANCE
TO GET EVERYTHING RIGHT.
* STARING IN THE MIRROR
* IT'S LIKE LOOKING
* THROUGH THE EYES OF A TIGER
* I AM A MONSTER
* WIRED
* FIGHTING PLENTY DEMONS
* EVERY DAY ANY WAY
* THEY SOMEHOW ALWAYS SEEM
* TO BE OFF IN MY FACE
>> CEASE, I NEED YOU TO HELP ME.
I DON'T EVEN KNOW IF NIGEL GONNA
GO THROUGH WITH IT.
>> I'LL COME OUT THERE AND HELP
YOU IN, LIKE, TWO MINUTES.
I'M ALMOST FINISHED WITH VADO.
>> HE PROBABLY IN THE FRONT.
HE PROBABLY HEARD YOU TOO.
>> JUST GO BACK OUT THERE
AND SHOW HIM THE NEW SKETCH.
>> SO I GOT THIS SKETCH
FINISHED UP.
HAPPY WITH IT FOR LIFE?
>> 97%.
>> SO THE OTHER THREE?
>> THE OTHER THREE YOU CAN WORK
OUT WITH YOUR SHADING
AND ALL THAT.
>> YEAH, 'CAUSE YOU CAN SEE WHAT
YOU SEE, BUT I CAN'T REALLY
SEE WHAT YOU SEE.
>> MM-HMM.
>> I NEED TO LOVE IT UP THERE
FIRST, THOUGH.
>> YOU WILL.
>> YOU SURE?
>> YEAH.
ALL RIGHT, YOU READY TO GO?
>> THINK SO.
>> LET'S GET IT STARTED.
>> ALL RIGHT, MAN.
>> SEE YOU.
>> STAY FOCUSED, YOU HEAR ME?
>> I AM.
>> THAT'S GONNA HURT LIKE HELL
ON MY COLLARBONE.
I'M NOT LOOKING FORWARD TO THAT.
>> YOU'RE A MAN.
>> WHAT'S THAT SUPPOSED TO MEAN?
SO YOU'RE GONNA GO EXTRA HARD
ON ME 'CAUSE I'M A MAN?
YOU GONNA TAKE OUT ALL THE PAIN
AND SUFFERING THESE OTHER GUYS
CAUSED YOU OUT ON ME?
>> NO, BUT BECAUSE YOU'RE A MAN,
I EXPECT YOU TO BE ABLE TO GRIN
AND BEAR IT.
>> DUTCH, I STAND UP WHEN I PEE.
>> OKAY.
>> NIGEL'S TALKING ALL THIS
[bleep] ABOUT BEING SUCH
A BIG MAN.
WAIT TILL I PUT THAT NEEDLE
ON HIS ASS.
WATCH HIM BITCH UP.
>> COME ON, LET'S PRAY TOGETHER.
>> [laughs]
>> FATHER IN HEAVEN, WATCH OVER
DUTCHESS' LOVELY HAND.
KEEP HER STEADY.
MAKE SURE SHE GETS THROUGH THIS
RIGHT BECAUSE I DON'T WANT
TO HURT SOMEBODY THAT SHE LOVES,
'CAUSE I CAN'T HURT HER.
AMEN.
>> AMEN.
YOUR ASS IS CRAZY.
ALL RIGHT, GET THIS SHOW
ON THE ROAD.
>> GO ALONG, MAMA.
>> COMFORTABLE?
>> I DON'T KNOW
IF I'M COMFORTABLE YET.
>> WELL, THAT'S WHAT I NEED.
>> JUST LET ME KNOW WHEN YOU'RE
GONNA START BY MY COLLARBONE,
'CAUSE I DON'T LIKE IT.
>> I WILL DEFINITELY MAKE SURE
I DO THAT.
>> * ONE, TWO, DO-SI-DO
* DROP THAT THING
* THEN YOU HIT THE FLOOR
* NOW ALL AROUND THE WORLD
* THIS IS HOW WE WORK
* OHH, WORK IT OUT
* SPINNING ROUND
* AND ROUND YOU GO
* SPINNING ROUND
* AND ROUND I GO
>> ALL RIGHT, SO I'M GONNA LET
YOU CHECK IT OUT REAL QUICK.
>> ALL RIGHT, LET'S GET TO IT.
I CAN'T REALLY SEE IT.
I'M JUST--I'M JUST--
YOU KNOW, THIS STILL
FEELS EMPTY.
I JUST FEEL LIKE YOU CAN'T
REALLY SEE IT.
>> BUT I THINK, WITH THE
SHADING, IT'S GONNA GIVE IT THE
EFFECT THAT YOU'RE LOOKING FOR.
>> WHAT YOU CAN SEE AND WHAT
I SEE ARE TWO DIFFERENT THINGS.
>> IT SOUNDS LIKE I JUST LOST
A REALLY GOOD CUSTOMER.
NO MORE TOUGH CLIENTS
FOR DUTCHESS.
I HOPE TO GOD HE COMES BACK
AND FINISH THAT DAMN TATTOO,
AT LEAST FOR DUTCHESS' SAKE.
IF HE DOESN'T, WE HAVE
A PROBLEM.
>> THINK WE SHOULD HAVE, LIKE,
A LITTLE CELEBRATION PARTY.
"CONGRATULATIONS, PUMA,
YOU A DADDY NOW."
>> I HAVEN'T GOT DRUNK
IN A WHILE.
LET'S DO IT.
>> WHAT THE [bleep]?
>> WHAT ARE YOU DOING?
>> I'M STARTING TO RETHINK
THIS WHOLE COMING DOWN HERE
TO APOLOGIZE.
THIS MIGHT BE THE LAST TIME
I EVER STEP FOOT
IN BLACK INK TONIGHT.
>> CEASER.
>> YES?
>> I NEED A FAVOR.
>> I AIN'T GOT NO MONEY.
>> I DON'T NEED NONE
OF YOUR MONEY.
>> ALL RIGHT, WHAT YOU WANT?
>> I THINK WE SHOULD HAVE, LIKE,
A LITTLE CELEBRATION PARTY.
LIKE, "WELCOME, TAMIA.
CONGRATULATIONS, PUMA,
YOU A DADDY NOW."
>> SHUT THE [bleep] UP,
TEDDY RUX.
I'M GONNA KICK YOUR ASS.
PLEASE?
YOU DON'T GOT TO WORRY
ABOUT NOTHING.
I GOT IT. I GOT THE PEOPLE.
I GOT THE FOOD.
I'LL GET SOMEBODY TO COME COOK.
LIKE, I GOT EVERYTHING IF YOU
JUST TELL ME, "YES, IT'S OKAY."
PLEASE.
PLEASE LET ME.
PLEASE.
>> HELLO.
>> HOW CUTE.
>> HI, LITTLE BABY.
I FEEL LIKE TAMIA IS EXACTLY
WHAT BLACK INK NEEDED RIGHT NOW.
LIKE, SHE MAKES EVERYONE REALIZE
THAT LIFE IS JUST NOT ABOUT
THE BULL[bleep].
>> I WANT TO SEE.
>> SORRY YOU JUST WALKED IN, BUT
YOU WALKED IN PERFECT TIMING.
SHE'S AMAZING.
SHE'S A LITTLE ANGEL.
I THINK WE SHOULD HAVE A LITTLE
GET-TOGETHER HERE.
YOU GOOD WITH THAT?
YOU WANT TO HAVE A LITTLE
PARTY HERE?
>> I HAVEN'T GOT DRUNK
IN A WHILE.
LET'S DO IT.
>> PLEASE SAY YES, CEASE.
>> THIS IS SO NOT FAIR.
>> ALL RIGHT.
>> YES?
>> YEAH.
>> THANK YOU, CEASE.
>> IT'S LIKE A BABY SHOWER FOR
A GUY, BUT WE SHOULD CELEBRATE
SOMEBODY NEW TO COMING TOWARDS
OUR FAMILY, SO...
I GOT TO STOP BEING A [bleep]
AND LET THEM HAVE
THAT PARTY.
>> BEFORE IT GETS COLD AND DARK
AND RAINY, LET'S GO HOME
AND CHANGE.
TONIGHT'S, LIKE, THE LAST NIGHT
THAT I GET TO PARTY.
IT'S FREAKING AWESOME.
I JUST HAD MY DAUGHTER.
WHOO!
SO EXCITED.
THIS IS GONNA BE ONE OF MY LAST
LITTLE MOMENTS BEFORE I HAVE
TO BE, YOU KNOW, BILL COSBY
AND BE ON MY DADDY [bleep].
LOVE YOU.
>> LOVE YOU TOO.
>> BYE, YOU.
>> I THINK THAT BABY
LOOKS CRAZY LIGHT.
>> [bleep] OUT OF HERE.
SHE'S GETTING DARKER.
>> THAT IS NOT PUMA'S BABY.
>> [laughs]
>> I WATCH MAURY EVERY DAY.
>> [laughs]
>> AND SHE GOT GOOD HAIR.
PUMA AIN'T GOT NO GOOD HAIR.
>> LISTEN!
>> HE'S NOT THE FATHER.
>> THAT IS HIS DAMN BABY.
SHUT UP.
AND SHE'S GONNA GET DARKER.
>> YOU HAD A DNA TEST
ON YOUR CHILD?
>> YES, I DID.
>> DO YOU THINK SHE'S HIS?
>> I DON'T KNOW.
I JUST THINK THAT EVERYBODY
SHOULD GET A PATERNITY TEST.
SCIENCE. QUANTIFICATIONS.
ALL OF THAT.
THAT [bleep] IS REAL.
IT DON'T LIE.
>> MATTER OF FACT, WE'RE GONNA
JUST CALL IT BLANKET
FROM NOW ON.
[laughter]
[hip-hop music]
*
>> [laughs]
I THREW PUMA A PARTY FOR BABY
TAMIA, WELCOMING HER
INTO THE WORLD.
IT WAS JUST ALL OF US GETTING
RATCHET DRUNK.
>> WHERE I'M FROM, THEY
DO THINGS LIKE A BABY SHOWER.
YOU COULD HAVE BOUGHT
AT LEAST A PAMPER.
A BOTTLE?
A PACIFIER?
NOTHING?
LIKE, THE BABY CAN'T DRINK
NO [bleep] HENNESSY.
>> YOU GOT TO MAKE SURE
THAT YOU'RE MY MUSCLE.
MAKE SURE THAT NOTHING HAPPENS
TO ME WHEN I GO IN THERE.
MAKE SURE THEY DON'T AMBUSH ME.
>> OH, HOW ABOUT THIS?
I WON'T SAY IT.
I'LL JUST DO IT.
CEASER IS STILL EXTREMELY
ADAMANT ABOUT HOW HE FEELS.
HE DOESN'T WANT [bleep] TO WORK
AT THE SHOP ANYMORE.
ARE YOU NERVOUS?
>> YEAH, I AM A LITTLE
BIT NERVOUS.
I REALIZE I MESSED UP AND I DO
OWE CEASER A APOLOGY, SO I'M
DEFINITELY GONNA DO THAT AND SEE
IF I CAN WORK ON GETTING MY JOB
AND OUR FRIENDSHIP BACK INTACT.
[hip-hop music]
*
>> HI!
>> WHAT THE [bleep]?
WHAT ARE YOU DOING?
>> WE GONNA MOVE FORWARD
AND FORGET ABOUT THIS [bleep].
>> HE'S BUGGING OUT.
HE WANTS TO SHOW UP TO A PARTY
KNOWING I MIGHT WHOOP HIS ASS.
>> WHAT DO YOU WANT TO DO?
IF YOU CAN'T SEE MY LOGIC,
THEN FORGET ABOUT IT.
>> NAH, NAH, NAH.
>> FORGET IT, MAN.
LET HIM GO.
>> ALEX SHOWING UP AND BRINGING
O'[bleep] TO PUMA'S PARTY--
IF THAT'S NOT ANOTHER CLEAR SIGN
THAT OBVIOUSLY SOMETHING'S GOING
ON BETWEEN THEM, THEN I DON'T
KNOW WHAT IS.
WHY ELSE WOULD YOU DO THAT?
>> [bleep].
>> WHAT THE [bleep]?
>> ALL I SEE IS, LIKE, CEASER
GIVING ME THE DAGGER EYES.
THOSE.
>> SO NOW THAT I SEE CEASER'S
FACE, I'M STARTING TO RETHINK
THIS WHOLE COMING DOWN HERE
TO APOLOGIZE.
>> WHAT ARE YOU DOING?
>> I'M HERE TO SHOW MY MAN LOVE
ON HIS DAY.
WE DO GOT SOMETHING TO TALK
ABOUT, SO WE SHOULD GO INSIDE
AND TALK ABOUT IT.
>> WHOA.
>> WE CAN TALK ABOUT IT
RIGHT NOW, YO.
I DON'T KNOW WHO THE [bleep]
TOLD HIM THAT HE COULD SHOW UP
TO THAT DAMN PARTY.
HE HAD SOME NERVE.
>> THIS IS GETTING BETTER
AND BETTER.
>> IT'S A CELEBRATION RIGHT NOW.
>> IT'S A CELEBRATION.
>> WE CELEBRATING.
>> I WANT TO KNOW WHAT WE GOT
TO TALK ABOUT.
TALK.
>> I APOLOGIZE, BUT I DON'T WANT
TO HAVE THAT CONVERSATION
IN FRONT OF EVERYBODY.
>> SEE, HE APOLOGIZED.
>> WHOA, CHILL, LET HIM TALK.
>> I'M JUST SAYING.
HE JUST SAID HE APOLOGIZED.
>> WELL, HOLD ON, HOW LONG DOES
THIS TAKE?
IT TOOK YOUR CELEBRATION
FOR HIM TO COME AND I GET
AN APOLOGY.
>> MAYBE THAT'S WHAT IT TAKES
SOMETIMES, MAN.
IT TAKES SOME LOVE
AND TENDERNESS.
LOVE AND TENDERNESS.
THE WHOLE ENERGY CHANGED, AND IT
WENT TO, LIKE, A NEGATIVE PLACE.
IT WAS ABOUT BABY TAMIA,
AND THEY WERE MORE WORRIED
ABOUT STUPID DRAMA.
YES, IT HURT MY FEELINGS.
>> JUST GO TALK TO HIM
'CAUSE YOU OUGHT TO.
>> WHY WE CAN'T TALK RIGHT HERE?
>> BECAUSE THIS IS NOBODY'S
[bleep] BUSINESS OUT HERE.
>> I DON'T KNOW IF THIS
IS A GOOD TIME FOR THEM TO TALK
BECAUSE THEY'RE NOT REALLY
GETTING ALONG AT ALL.
IT'S UGLY.
>> AIN'T WE ALL SUPPOSED TO BE
FAMILY AND ALL THAT [bleep]?
CERTAIN [bleep]
GOT TO BE ADDRESSED.
>> WE GONNA MOVE FORWARD
AND FORGET ABOUT THE [bleep].
>> HOW?
>> IF YOU CAN'T SEE MY LOGIC,
THEN FORGET ABOUT IT.
>> HE'S BUGGING OUT.
HE WANTS TO SHOW UP TO A PARTY
KNOWING I MIGHT WHOOP HIS ASS.
>> THAT'S NOT GONNA END--
NAH, NAH, NAH, NAH, NAH.
THAT'S NOT GONNA END THAT FAST.
>> [bleep].
>> IT'S NOT GONNA BE OVER
THAT FAST.
LIKE, YOU'RE NOT GONNA SAY WHAT
YOU WANT AND WALK OFF,
AND IT'S OVER THAT FAST.
LIKE, WE GOT TO COME TO SOME
TYPE OF CONCLUSION RIGHT HERE.
>> I DID!
>> 'CAUSE NOW YOU JUST MADE
IT UNCOMFORTABLE FOR EVERYBODY.
>> YOU AIN'T IN MY SHOES.
THAT'S WHAT I'M FEELING.
IT IRRITATES ME THAT TED GETS
IN THE WAY AND TRIES TO,
YOU KNOW, BE CEASER'S DEFENDER,
BECAUSE CEASER'S
A GROWN-ASS MAN.
HE CAN HANDLE HIS OWN PROBLEMS,
BUT I ALREADY KNOW THAT THE WAY
THAT THEY ARE.
LIKE, IF YOU MESS WITH ONE,
YOU GOT TO MESS WITH THE OTHER.
>> LISTEN, IT MAY HAVE NOTHING--
LISTEN, IT DON'T GOT NOTHING
TO DO WITH YOU.
IT DON'T GOT NOTHING
TO DO WITH YOU.
>> SASSY, IT DOES.
IT HAS SOMETHING TO DO
WITH CEASER.
>> THEN WHEN THE [bleep] YOU
WANT TO DO?
>> BOTTOM LINE IS, HOWEVER CEASE
FEEL IS HOW I FEEL.
>> WHAT DO YOU WANT TO DO?
>> WE CAN'T MOVE FORWARD.
WE CAN'T FORGET ABOUT THIS
[bleep].
JUST GO AHEAD, MAN.
[bleep] BASICALLY GAVE ME A
BULL[bleep] APOLOGY AND SAID I
COULD TAKE HIS APOLOGY OR I
COULD LEAVE IT.
GO AHEAD.
SO I LEFT HIS [bleep] APOLOGY.
NAH, LET HIM GO.
WE CAN'T FORGET ABOUT THIS
[bleep].
>> CEASER WASN'T EVEN LISTENING
TO MY APOLOGY.
CEASER'S JUST JUST GENERALLY AN
ASS[bleep].
>> IF I WOULD HAVE KNOWN ALL
THOSE PEOPLE WERE GONNA BE
THERE, I WOULD HAVE NEVER
BROUGHT [bleep] TO THAT SHOP.
I FELT BAD.
YOU DID THE RIGHT THING.
THEY'RE EXTREMELY HOTHEADED.
GIVE THEM A LITTLE TIME TO JUST
COOL DOWN.
>> I NEED SOME TIME TO COOL OFF
TOO.
I CAME HERE TO APOLOGIZE, AND
CEASER'S ACTING LIKE WE HAVEN'T
KNOWN EACH OTHER FOR YEARS.
LIKE, WE WASN'T LIKE BROTHERS.
BUT WHAT AM I SUPPOSED TO DO?
I DON'T THINK I'LL EVER RETURN
TO BLACK INK.
ALL OF THIS RIGHT NOW IS WAY
TOO MUCH.
I JUST NEED TO GO HOME.
[somber piano music]
*
[moody hip-hop music]
*
>> COME HERE, MAN.
>> WHAT UP?
>> YO, COME TO MY OFFICE.
COME ON, MAN.
ALL OF THIS FIGHTING IS TEARING
BLACK INK APART.
I PULLED CEASER TO THE SIDE
'CAUSE I FEEL LIKE HE NEEDED TO,
I GUESS, HEAR FROM MY SIDE.
LIKE, YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN?
I FEEL LIKE SOMETIMES
I'M LIKE YODA.
LIKE, THE WISE ONE.
NEW POWER SUCKS,
DOESN'T IT, HUH?
YOU'RE IN CHARGE NOW.
YOU'RE THE GUY.
>> THIS [bleep] IS HELL.
>> SO WHEN [bleep] LIKE THAT
HAPPENS--WHEN IT GETS HEATED--
YOU SUPPOSED TO BE THE GUY
THAT BE LIKE, "YOU KNOW WHAT?
CHILL."
>> LIKE, TRUE STORY, PUMA.
WE FROM THE BRONX.
>> I KNOW.
HE'S FROM THE BRONX.
>> EXACTLY, SO ANY DAY--
OTHER--OTHERWISE--
WE IN THE STREETS,
THAT'S FIGHTING TALK.
I'M NOT SURPRISED PUMA'S TRYING
TO DEFEND [bleep] 'CAUSE PUMA IS
A NATURAL [bleep]-UP, SO FOR ME
TO TAKE ADVICE FROM A [bleep]-UP
ABOUT [bleep]?
I DON'T THINK SO.
>> YOU DO THAT,
AND THEN WHAT HAPPENS?
YOU CAUSE A RUCKUS.
YOU HAVE POLICE COME.
WE LOOK LIKE TYPICAL [bleep],
AND THEN, WHAT, WE LOSE
OUR BUSINESS.
BRONX [bleep].
WE GOT TO THINK BIGGER, BRO.
WE GOT TO THINK, LIKE,
THE BIGGER PICTURE.
YOU GOT A BABY GIRL.
I GOT A BABY GIRL NOW.
EVERYBODY GOT A LITTLE
SOMETHING.
WE CAN'T BE FIGHTING OVER
LITTLE [bleep].
NOT NO MORE.
>> IF I'M SUPPOSED
TO SAY "FORGET IT,"
HOW WE MOVING FORWARD?
LIKE, HE DON'T REALLY
HAVE NO REMORSE.
>> THIS IS HIS HOME.
HE'S BUILT A NAME HERE.
>> HE'S [bleep] UP.
>> I KNOW HE'S [bleep] UP.
YO, TRUST ME--
>> PUMA. PUMA, LISTEN TO ME.
THIS IS THE LAST STRAW.
UNDERSTAND ME, PUMA.
HE PLAY ME AGAIN, I'M PUTTING
HANDS AND FEET ON HIM.
I CAN'T TELL YOU RIGHT NOW
OFFHAND IF OR WHEN WE EVER
BE FRIENDS AGAIN.
>> HAVE EITHER OF YOU SEEN ALEX?
NO ONE CAN SEEM TO FIND ALEX.
AND NO ONE CAN SEEM
TO FIND TEDDY RUX.
SOMETHING'S GOING ON.
>> * ALL OF THIS PRESSURE
>> I WANTED TO TALK TO ALEX
AND ASK HER WHAT HER REASONING
OF BRINGING [bleep]
TO THE PARTY WAS.
SO I GO UP TO THE FRONT AND ASK
EVERYONE IF ANYONE'S SEEN ALEX.
HAVE EITHER OF YOU SEEN ALEX?
AND NO ONE CAN SEEM
TO FIND ALEX.
AND NO ONE CAN SEEM
TO FIND TEDDY RUX.
SOMETHING'S GOING ON.
I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY [bleep]
WOULD CALL YOU AND HAVE YOU WALK
HIM THROUGH THE DOOR, LIKE...
>> WELL, BECAUSE WE--
WE'RE CLOSE.
WE HAVE THAT BOND.
LIKE, WE--
HE JUST TATTOOED BOTH OF MY
THIGHS, AND WE HAD, LIKE, NOT--
AND HE DIDN'T BANG THAT OUT
IN ONE DAY, TED.
LIKE, THAT WAS SESSIONS.
THAT WAS, LIKE, NIGHTS.
SO HE JUST FELT MORE COMFORTABLE
REACHING OUT TO ME--
>> OUR NIGHT SESSIONS DIDN'T
BRING US CLOSER.
I BEEN BUSY TRYING TO FIGURE OUT
WHAT'S GOING ON WITH ME
AND TEDDY.
THE UNIVERSE SOMEHOW SEEMS
TO JUST PUT US RIGHT TOGETHER,
EVEN WHEN WE LEAST EXPECT IT.
YOU KNOW I DON'T WANT
TO SIT HERE.
[laughs]
YOU KNOW THAT FOR A FACT.
>> NEXT TIME, ON BLACK INK CREW:
>> WHAT'S THIS I HEARD YOU
LOOKING FOR A JOB?
>> SASSY'S GROWING UP
AND IS BECOMING A WOMAN.
>> OH, YOU DON'T WANT TO BE PART
OF THE CREW NO MORE?
>> I CAN'T BELIEVE ALEX
AIN'T GONNA BE INVOLVED
IN THE FASHION SHOW.
>> I JUST FELT LIKE
NOT DOING IT.
ONCE YOU'RE MAKING YOUR WAY UP,
YOU DON'T LOOK BACK.
>> LOOKING REAL NICE.
YEAH, I'M SEXY.
DUTCHESS WANTS ME.
>> YOU PUTTING ON
A FEMALE'S SHOE.
IS THIS HAPPENING RIGHT NOW?
>> DUTCHESS AND CEASER ARE
LUSTY.
>> ALEX ASKED ME WHAT WAS
I DOING AFTER THE FASHION SHOW.
>> HEY, WHAT UP?
>> DAVID EMANUEL?
>> YEAH.
WHAT MAGAZINE YOU FROM?
>> YOU'VE BEEN SERVED.
>> WHAT THE [bleep] IS THIS?
THIS IS [bleep] CHILD SUPPORT.
I'M GETTING CHARGED WITH
BACK PAY OF CHILD SUPPORT,
AND IF IT'S NOT PAID UP,
I COULD LOSE EVERYTHING.
