>> Everybody knows there's a
price to pay when you're the
boss.
You're gonna lose friends.
You're gonna make enemies.
Just remember what's important
in your life.
For me, I have to be successful.
You're either gonna

you're doin' or you just get

Get the [bleep] outta here!
>> [unintelligible] did you

>> Goodbye.
I quit.
>> Alex's gone.
Puma's gone.
Sassy's gone.
I just don't want you to be
manipulated by [bleep].

>> I came from a small town in
North Carolina to New York to
follow my dreams.
>> You serious?
But I never thought it would be
this hard.

five for a gun charge, it's hard

she's the other woman?
>> [screaming] O-o-ow!
>> You asked him if he was sure
that he was the dad!
Why?
>> Because he sleeps with other
people!
>> I've got so much on my
shoulders right now.
I just don't know if I can
handle the pressure of it all.
>> Where the -- you been at, yo?
Your baby mama thinkin' you
killed yourself!
>> *
>> As much as it kinda hurt me
to leave Black Ink, it actually
was kinda the best thing that
ever happened to me.
>> [crying]
>> [guests cheering]
>> But for some reason, I can't
stay outta trouble.
>> What's up [unintelligible]
Why you came at me?
>> Puma!
>> So now you gonna stop me from
seeing my grandchild?
>> Yes! I can--I can do that.
>> I want you to try it.
Baby, I got [bleep] in my sleep
you ain't never seen.
>> Stop [unintelligible]!
>> Workin' at Black Ink is
[bleep] insane!
Here come the slap!

>> What!
What!
>> He-e-e-ey!
>> Ah!
>> Hey!

>> Oh!
>> Boob shot!
Gina's [unintelligible].
>> [laughing]
>> Watch your hand.
>> A-ah!
>> [splashing]
>> Get the [bleep] outta here!
>> [bleep]
>> Black Ink is still a family,
and like any other family, we
have our [bleep] problems.
>> Everybody felt like once
y'all got together, it was just
y'all against us.
>> I just hope that you're
happy.
>> You gotta fix your attitude,
I'm gonna tell you that right
now.
>> It's over.
>> I'm having a baby by somebody
I don't even wanna be with!
>> You're stupid face is gonna
get your face [bleep] up!
>> I would like that.
>> Would you really?
>> No, no, no.
>> You wanna bring guns blazing?
>> In the past, I lost sight of
what was important to me.
>> Just like with the
miscarriage.
You hurt me, baby, what you did
then.
>> But I believe anything worth
having is worth fighting for.
>> Quani, will you marry me?
>> Richard!
>> Y'all didn't have compassion
for me.
>> If you wanna come back to
this job you can come back.
>> You're tryin' to [bleep] make
this one big ass happy family
and [bleep] happened.
>> The only thing I'm
concentrating on is the shop.
It's the rise of Black Ink and
there's no one that can stop me.
>> *
>> * Feeling
* I'm loving this feeling
* It's such a good feeling
* Waking every morning
* And feeling
* Like the world is mine *
>> This is an exciting time
in Black Ink.
I'm getting ready to renovate
the shop.
I hired me a new apprentice, and
I got me a new attitude.
This is gonna bring Black Ink
to the next level.
I'm comin' for the crown
in New York.
What up, yo?
>> You're walkin' into
something, okay?
>> Doesn't look like it.
>> Oh.
>> Can I please let him know
that [bleep] you was telling me
about?
>> It's all in your delivery, so
I need you to bring this across
in a beautiful way.
>> Her [bleep] in jail.
>> [laughing]
>> Your [bleep] in jail?
>> [laughing]
>> Oh [bleep].
You is a jailbird lover now?
>> My boyfriend, Bobby and I, we
met on a bus.
And we've been dating for five
months, and he in jail.
He was driving without a
license, allegedly, all right?
It might not've been him.
>> She got a date with this
[bleep] on--on, um--
>> It's a FaceTime visit that
the jail offers!
>> Well y'all know she can't be
doin' nothing nasty 'cause
they'll disconnect that [bleep].
>> I'm gonna do the nasty
[bleep] at the end 'cause my
[bleep] deserves to see these
titties.
>> They're gonna block that
[bleep].
>> I like him a lot, Duchess!
That's my [bleep], so I don't
care what anybody has to say,
even though he's a convict.
He's a good guy!
He comes from a good family.
>> Oh, Sky, he got locked up.
>> For tickets!
He didn't--he's not killing
anybody!
No one died.
>> No one died this time.
>> Sky says she has a boyfriend
behind bars.
It doesn't surprise me.
Sky might be the craziest
[bleep] I know.
Like she done told us she has
sex with vampires.
Now she got jailbirds.
What's next, Batman?
>> At least I don't be [bleep]
in here!
>> What?
What the [bleep] is Ted?
>> [laughing]
>> Sky, shut the [bleep] up.
It's work smarter, not harder.
>> This is a good day.
I was kinda gettin' like kinda
sad.
I'm like, "Damn, man.
"I might as well destroy this
"whole [bleep] shop."
When I first started Black Ink,
I was struggling just to make
ends meet.
I could hardly keep the lights
on.
But last couple of months in
the shop's been great.
Business is booming like never
before, so time to step this
[bleep] up and pimp Black Ink
out.
You can't claim to be king of
New York and you're [bleep] shop
look like a clubhouse.
So how you doin', Donna?
>> I'm excited about the
renovation.
>> Donna's the new apprentice in
Black Ink.
She's a pretty good apprentice,
even though she got weird things
about her.
But I think all of us got weird
[bleep] about us, so [bleep] it.
>> Um, working-wise?
>> What else would I be talkin'
about?
>> What?
>> No!
>> [laughing]
>> No!
You're an [bleep].
>> I overheard rumors about the
girl.
She [bleep] everything under the
sun.
[laughs] From the way she looks,
from those eyes that she gives
you.
It's obvious to me that she's a
little freak.
She a little freak.
>> Donna, go set my room up for
me.
>> All right.
I'm from Cleveland, Ohio, and I
came to New York to apprentice
at Black Ink because I respect
Ceaser as a tattoo artist.
I open the shop, clean up,
sweep, get the artists' rooms
ready.
Apprenticing is you follow
somebody around who you feel is
a dope tattoo artist, you
respect their work and you learn
from them.
My coworkers like to start
rumors, but as an attractive
woman, it's like something that
I just deal with.
You know I'm the new girl so I
take it.
It's cool.
>> [bleep] up.
By the way, he's been drinking.
He is [bleep] hammered.
>> Why are you so drunk today
[bleep]?
>> I'm just chillin'.
I'm just tryin' to have fun.
>> What's wrong with you
[bleep]?
>> *
>> Yo!
Don't be worryin' about what the
[bleep] I be doin'.
>> I'm worried mother [bleep].
That mother [bleep]
is like headin'
down the road to destruction.
What the [bleep] are you so
drunk all the time for?
I think this is a cry for help,
but I don't know what to [bleep]
do.
>> Yo, leave me alone, B.
>> Yo, come here!
Where you going?
>> Goin' to put his gun away.
>> *
* Show how much
* You're ready for the moment
* You're still standing *
>> Hey, girl.
>> Duchess.
>> Nice to meet you.
Let's go.
What you gettin' today?
>> A Fafi doll.
>> That's what's up.
You look like a Fafi doll.
>> [laughs]
>> A Fafi doll is a cartoon that
basically plays on the
femininity and sexuality of
women, and it's kinda like that
independent, strong woman that
can do whatever she want.
You ready to get started?
>> Yeah.
>> Okay.
So I'm gonna work on the sketch,
and we'll get it poppin'!
The last year of my life has
been crazy.
I just happened to go through a
whole lot of [bleep] that a lot
of people would probably break
from.
I had a miscarriage.
I've had heart surgery, and
Ceaser cheated on me.
And instead of it breaking me,
it made me a much more resilient
woman that might go through some
hell and high water, but I will
definitely float to the top.
In the past few months, I've
learned that all you have is
yourself.
You can love somebody with all
your heart, they can break it.
You have to make sure that you
love yourself, and you are
satisfied with where you are.
All right, let's put the stencil
on.
All right, baby, you ready?
>> Mm-hmm.
>> About to get started.
>> When I found out that Ceas
cheated, it hurt.
It was definitely a very hard
point in my life.
>> The dynamic between me and
Ceas has changed, but I like to
work at Black Ink.
The way that I'm navigatin' the
situation is I'm being
professional.
I speak when spoken to.
I don't involve myself in the
shop drama.
I do what I came to do as a
tattoo artist, and then I'll
keep it movin'.
I refuse to put myself through a
hurtful [bleep] situation again.
I'm not a victim, I'm a victor.
>> *
* Yeah
* This is what I'm made for
* Turning like on tables
* Give it all I got
* Until I make it
* Boy I'm gonna make
* Every moment's worth it
* Gets a little closer
* To you shine *
>> All right, baby.
I'm gonna clean you up.
>> Okay.
>> *
>> DUTCHESS: You like it?
>> DUTCHESS: She's wild sexy.
>> Thank you.
>> * Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
* Never give it in
* 'Cause I was born to win
* Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
* I'm gonna make it right
* 'Cause I was born to fight *
>> Thank you, Lord, for this
meal.
And thank you for the day that
we've had--
>> Yes.
>> --meeting Fred Senior and
having Fred Junior--
>> Mm-hmm.
>> --by Richard's side.
>> My father's in town from
South Carolina, and I haven't
seen him in about two years.
I'm very excited.
So me, Anya and my brother,
Fred, we're gonna all catch up.
It's the first time that Anya is
meeting my family.
>> Please continue to bless us
with happiness and longevity.
>> Mm, right.
>> Thank you.
Amen. [laughs]
>> Thank you. Amen.
>> Amen.
>> All right.
Very nice.
>> Dig in!
>> Know that she does this every
single time before she eats.
>> [laughs]
>> But she's doing it, I'm
already eatin' like.
>> [laughs] Yeah.
>> Quit playing.
Anya, my fiancée,
my baby mama number three,
she's due next week.
We're both excited.
We have our day-to-day
struggles, but, you know, she's
pregnant and tensions are
running high.
But all in all, our relationship
is on the up and up.
>> It really was a pleasure
meeting you.
Like I was nervous.
>> Mm-hmm.
>> But--
>> I'm easy.
I'm easy.
>> I see that.
>> Now you see where Richard
gets it from now, right?
>> Yeah.
>> He got that easy-going way.
He got that wild way.
>> My brother, Fred, is the
complete opposite of me.
I'm wild, uncontrollable, like,
anything could happen.
Fred is very structured,
mild-mannered, doesn't go out.
All he does is go to work, come
home and stay with his wife and
kids.
>> This man gets so drunk
sometimes.
>> *
>> Sometimes Anya does have a
tendency to overshare things,
you know?
Not everybody needs to know
everything.
Some things you can keep to
yourself.
>> So you guys are gonna plan on
moving from this spot you guys
have now or--
>> Yeah.
>> We're shooting for April, and
it'll give me time.
Like within that month if he
comes home every night, we're
gonna live together.
If he doesn't, it's over.
>> I told you I have to go to my
closet.
That's what an apartment is--is
just a closet.
>> This man is a liar.
He came home drunk one night,
and I ended up going through his
phone.
He has a female roommate and I
didn't know.
>> Oh man.
>> I'm not happy with you.
You're not a good husband.
I feel like it's just not gonna
work out with us.
>> Why [bleep] and Donna in the
bathroom together right now?
>> What's wrong [bleep]?
>> Everybody knows what goes on
in Black Ink's bathroom.
You [bleep].
>> Where you been, man?
There's two [bleep] weeks in a
row and you don't say [bleep] to
me?
What do you think, it's a joke?
I have no choice in the matter,
man.
I gotta call the cops on you.
>> *
>> He came home drunk one night,
and I ended up going through his
phone.
He has a female roommate, and I
didn't know.
>> So I've been renting out a
room to Donna, the new
apprentice at Black Ink.
She has the back room to
herself, and when I'm there, I
sleep in the living room.
>> Why lie?
>> I didn't lie.
I just didn't tell you.
>> Well introduce me to her.
These are things you don't do
when you have a pregnant
fiancée.
>> Yeah, this is delicious man.
>> So now I have to accept that
he goes home to the Bronx with
another female in the house who
I don't even know.
He'll party and then say
"I'm coming home,"
but then don't come home.
And I'm like, "So, you're with
"that girl in the house?"
>> No.
>> I don't know what's going on
over there.
>> Anya thinks that because I
have a woman living in my
apartment paying me rent that
I'm sleeping with her.
All she does is a rent a room
from me and that's it.
It's just not true.
>> This baby saves him.
Do you know I'm the type to
knock on doors?
And I couldn't go to the Bronx
with this big belly looking for
you.
Eventually, that other side of
me is gonna come out.
>> * High stakes
* In it to win it
* That's why I'm here
* It's a dice roll
* A wing and a prayer
* Forget the fear
* Eyes wide open and grime
* No time to sleep though
* I'm already livin' my dreams
* And I can't stop, yo *
>> Who watched the Super Bowl?
>> I stopped watching football
once my dreams got shattered.
>> That really was a dream, the
Jets goin' to the chip?
[laughs]
>> I played football one time.
I was good.
I tried to go through the
middle.
Somebody cleaned my clock.
All I know a snot bubble was
comin' out of my nose.
I quit.
>> [laughs]
>> I switched to basketball.
You all playin' too rough, yo.
[laughs]
>> [laughing]
>> Walter Thurmond
and Phil Bates.
>> Yeah.
>> They got a ring?
>> They won!
They part of the team.
>> Today I got some Super Bowl
champs comin' in from the
Seahawks--Walter Thurmond,
Phil Bates, Bryan Walters.
The clientele don't get no
better than this.
>> [alarm buzzes]
>> What--what's good, man?
>> [unintelligible] goin' with
you guys, right?
>> Hey yo! What's goin' on?
>> [unintelligible]
>> What's good, bro?
>> I'm Bryan Walters.
It's good to meet ya.
>> Well you playin' football,
too?
>> Yeah.
>> Kinda skinny.
>> Hey, you know what--
>> No.
Y'all he's a receiver.
>> [laughing]
>> I play the same position as
this guy.
>> Yeah.
>> I shoulda played football,
y'all.
Like I'm lookin' like--you know
what I'm sayin'?
[laughs]
>> [laughing]
>> How do you all feel at
halftime knowin' you all won the
Super Bowl?
>> We expected to win, though.
I mean, we--we didn't go to that
game thinkin' that we gonna
lose.
>> That's exactly how I feel
about Black Ink.
I don't expect to lose.
I got too much at stake.
What made you get this now?
Samuel L. Jackson holdin' a gun.
>> "Pulp Fiction's" one of my
favorite movies.
>> Mm-hmm.
>> And then Samuel L. is just
one of my favorite actors.
>> Yeah, that [bleep] a classic.
And I'll put him on the map
right there.
Yep.
>> That's pretty solid right
there.
>> So it must be different now
you a Super Bowl champ, man.
You ain't no normal person no
more, bro.
>> Nah, man.
A normal person still, you know
what I'm sayin'?
But, I mean, I'm in a small
class of people that can call
themselves "world champions,"
though, as far as football's
concerned.
>> So that has to bring a
certain, um, how can you say,
pressure.
You're a champ now.
You can't be nothin' less than a
champ.
>> You can say the same thing
with you in your craft.
Man, everyone has an
expectation of your ability
to draw a tattoo.
>> Sometime, like, I'll be
feelin', like, that [bleep] a
burden in itself.
If I fall a little or
if I don't keep gettin' better.
>> But I think that's a personal
choice, though.
You wanna be the best tattoo
artist out there.
>> Now that I'm on top, there's
a fear of losin' everything.
I was a kid who came from the
streets who knew how to draw a
little, so I was basically
supposed to be nothin'.
So to be a young black
businessman, to own his own
company is a hell of a
accomplishment.
And I don't wanna have to go
back to the way it used to be.
Come on, let's do this tat.
>> [drill buzzing]
>> * I'm the greatest
* Yeah, I'm the greatest
* Ain't got no
>> I have to evolve as a
business owner.
It's either adapt or die.
This renovation is more than
just a paint job; it's a whole
new symbolization of me finally
transitioning into somebody I'm
supposed to be like.
>> *
* I'm the greatest
>> So how you like it?
>> I'm lovin' it.
You got some skills, though,
bro.
[laughs]
>> I try, bro.
Tryin' to be like you.
Appreciate you bein' in my
trade, yo.
>> Yep.
* I'm the greatest, greatest *
>> *
>> [bleep] is this?
Did you rob somebody for their
gold chains and just put it on
your earrings?
>> [laughs] Just made a mockery
out of it?
>> Yeah, you just made a mockery
out of here.
That's how you feel.
I meet up with wonder twin,
Sassy, today, man.
No, I haven't seen her in a
minute.
She been travelin'.
It was the only person I really
kinda trust to talk about
anything.
Sassy's like the Dali Lama of
Harlem.
>> You look stressed out.
>> I am stressed out!
You know I've never really been
the family type, but now it's
like, it's just that me and
Quani, I just don't understand
it, you know?
>> Are you all goin' through a--
>> The crap.
Past few months have been kinda
stressful, man.
Quani's been gone for a few
weeks right now.
She's been at her grandmother's
house in Florida.
I guess she just needed some
space, whatever that means.
It's funny after you come back
from a awesome wedding situation
like me and Quani had, it's
really kinda [bleep] hard.
It's not that easy.
We're both going through it.
She just thinks I need to be
around more.
>> Do you understand that?
>> You know what?
It's--I kinda don't.
>> Puma definitely needs my help
when it comes to reading Quani's
needs and figuring out Quani.
I feel like he's just so--you
know, he's wrapped up in Puma's
crazy mind all the time.
You know, it's hard for him to
kinda think emotionally.
>> She tells me I'm not doing my
husband duties.
>> She probably just maybe feels
a little bit neglected.
>> Nah-uh.
She just needs her air to
breathe.
I'm really, really [bleep]
confused.
I don't feel like it's our
relationship that's [bleep] up.
I think it's more like one of
them female things where
they're, you know, "It's about
"me, and I gotta find me,
"my emotions."
>> I don't wanna talk about no
more drama, man.
I just got back from
[bleep] Costa Rica.
I was in Costa Rica for a few
weeks.
I kinda just went and washed
myself away of all the drama.
So I've already been
kinda moving onto my own
ventures.
I've been doing all this
modeling stuff and hopefully it
works out.
>> [spits]
>> Puma!
That's not biodegradable!
>> Squirrels could eat it.
>> They can't eat gum.
>> They could chew on it.
>> Don't litter!
It's bad.
>> * It's a party, baby
* It's a party, baby
* It's a par-r-ty ba-a-aby
* All night the beats strut
* And the party don't stop *
>> [laughing]
>> Hey!
Jell-O shots for everyone!
Jell-O shots!
>> Have fun bitches.
[laughs]
Before we start this renovation
again with some serious
business [bleep],
man, we gonna get [bleep] up
for one last time.
>> Hey!
>> This is gonna be the last
hooray in the old Black Ink.
>> Look everybody, it's Niecy!
Look, Ceaser, it's Niecy.
[laughs]
>> What are you doin'?
Once upon a time in Black Ink
land, Niecy was [bleep] client,
and she just disappeared.
And then pops up nine months
later with a baby.
Like, is this one of his love
childs?
>> I'm Sky.
Happy to meet you.
Let's hug it.
Everybody's familiar with you
and I'm not.
Come here!
I want my own relationship, too.
I overheard rumors about Niecy,
so I just wanna get to it.
I just like facts.
I'm a fact-spreader.
You're his best friend?
>> That is strictly my platonic
friend.
I love him.
But everybody wants us to be
hunch and we not hunchin'.
>> That's right.
>> And it's strictly platonic.
>> You my [bleep] though.
>> Can you [bleep] shut up?
>> Exactly!
Work that out.
>> None of them!
None of them!
>> How's the baby, though?
>> He's--look at him.
>> [bleep] baby.
>> Are you [bleep] finished?
>> Yeah, he look like [bleep].
>> Will you cut it out, ass
[bleep]!
Are you done?
>> I'm 91% sure.
>> Kenny, really?
That [bleep] not cool at all.
>> What are you talkin' about?
>> At all!
At all!
Cut it out.
>> What's up with you?
>> [indistinct chatter]
>> Teddy harassing Niecy's
totally out of line.
Do you think you're Maury or
something?
>> * Slip it to the left
* Slip it to the right
* Slip it up and dance
* Slip it right around
* Tonight, tonight
* Tonight, tonight *
>> [indistinct chatter]
>> Wow.
You got a pregnant fiancée at
home.
What are you thinking?
Now you're huggin' all over
Donna.
How bold are you?
This is gettin' juicy.
>> So why is [bleep] and Donna
in the bathroom together right
now?
>> Ugh!
Hey, can I give you a burst of
sunshine?
[bleep] and Donna's
in your bathroom right now.
>> Why is [bleep] in the
bathroom with Donna?
Everybody knows what goes out in
Black Ink's bathroom.
If you not takin' a number one
or number two, you [bleep].
>> [knocking on door]
>> Yo!
I gotta pee!
>> Go clean yourself up, baby.
>> Are you [bleep]?
You got a new baby comin'.
Now you're sittin' there with
[bleep] handcuffs.
I need a patrol car.
We have a defendant in custody.
>> *
>> So why is [bleep] and Donna
in the bathroom together
right now?
>> I [bleep] just
don't give a [bleep].
That's it.
>> Yo!
I gotta pee!
>> Where's Donna?
>> WOMAN: He said she's in the
back smoking cigarettes.
>> [yelling]
>> No!
No!
If you in the bathroom with
Mr. O' [bleep], just be happy
when you come out of that
[bleep] you ain't pregnant.
>> Oh really.
>> [bleep] I told you [bleep].
If them walls could talk.
Mm, mm, mm.
And not the walls in her vagina,
the walls around the bathroom.
>> What did they just catch you
doin' just now?
>> Who, with Donna?
I was just talkin' to her.
Nothin' happened with me and
Donna in the bathroom.
I see why people would think
that something's goin' on, but
doesn't my word count for
anything?
>> You are ill.
>> Yo!
Where's the Hennessy at?
I wanna have a toast.
>> And the celebration [bleep]!
>> Speech. Speech. Speech.
Man, I need speech, speech
time.
Yo, listen.
This is a dream.
I ain't think I would ever got
here.
Without any of y'all, I wouldn't
even of made it here.
>> You right, man, you wouldn't.
>> Shut the [bleep] up!
I'm tryin' to be
nice and [bleep].
>> I just wanted to adlib.
>> Nah, you can't adlib.
Shut up, yo!
This is to the new Black Ink.
To a new dynasty, y'all.
>> [cheering]
>> The renovation's about a new
beginning, a fresh, new start
for me and the shop.
Sometimes you got to destroy
what you have and rebuild it in
order to be better, stronger and
ready to take on whatever
[bleep] comes your way.
[bleep], this is strong ass
Henny!
>> *
>> [phone ringing]
>> Hello?
>> Hey, baby.
What's up?
>> What's up?
>> How you feelin'?
>> I'm okay.
>> Did you get any rest?
>> Aw.
So I still got this pending gun
charge hangin' over my head.
Since I got arrested for driving
my ex-girlfriend Kaylin's car.
She had a gun in her glove
box, and I didn't even know it
was there.
And they charged me with gun
possession.
I just gotta take care of some
business and handle a few
things.
Goin' to see my bail bondsman.
After that I'm all yours.
Checkin' into the bail bondsman
is a thing I have to do.
I'm supposed to do it every
week, but it's a pain in the ass
because traveling all the way to
Queens--it's annoying to have to
check in over there.
And I've missed a few check-ins.
Hopefully my bail bondsman is
understanding and he lets me
slide.
>> ANYA: Okay.
>> All right, baby.
I love you.
Peace.
>> Bail bonds.
>> How's it goin'?
>> What's you doin', man?
>> Pretty good.
>> Where you been, man?
You were checked in on 2/4, you
missed the second week.
Then you checked in on 2/12, and
you missed the third week.
And then you missed the fourth
and the fifth week.
Can't have that.
You gotta check-in every week.
Brother, it's--this is not good.
I always been straight up with
you, right?
>> Yeah.
>> So if I ask you a question, I
probably already know the
answer.
>> Mm-hmm.
>> Okay.
So where you been for the last
couple of weeks?
>> Just working and taking care
of the lady.
>> And what else?
>> Um, I had got arrested.
>> Oh!
We didn't hear about that part.
>> While driving home from
Black Ink with Donna,
I was pulled over and
I got arrested for possession
of a controlled substance.
I didn't wanna tell him about
the arrest because I didn't want
him to pull my bail.
>> Didn't I tell you no more
misses?
>> Yeah.
>> And you missed two [bleep]
weeks in a row?
On top of that you get
re-arrested and you don't say
[bleep] to me?
What do you think, it's a joke?
>> No.
>> We find out the minute they
roll your prints, dude.
So you know what that means?
>> No.
>> You don't know what it means
when you get re-arrested and you
don't tell us?
It's not good.
You gotta stand up.
It has nothin' to do with me, my
brother.
I love you, but work's work.
>> What the [bleep] are you
talkin' about?
That's some bull [bleep].
>> Do you have anything on you?
Any drugs?
Hang on, hang on, hang on.
In the pocket, one sec.
>> *
>> Check the little pocket.
Are you serious, dude?
>> *
>> This is not lookin' good
for me.
I'm [bleep].
This is the worst possible
scenario out of all of this, me
not being there for my
daughter's birth.
>> How are things with you and
Ceas?
>> I don't know.
I don't really talk to him.
>> Stop being petty.
Do you miss Ceas?
>> *
>> Do you have anything on you?
Check the little pockets.
One sec, hang on,
hang on, hang on.
Are you serious, dude?
Are you [bleep]?
You got a new baby comin', now
you're sitting there
with [bleep] handcuffs.
>> I'm terrified.
I don't know what's goin' on.
I don't how this is gonna affect
my pending gun charge.
And the worst possible scenario
out of all of this, me not being
there for my daughter's birth.
>> You got everything in the
world going for you and you're
goin' backwards.
And it makes us feel like
[bleep] because we gotta do it.
I have no choice in the matter,
man.
I gotta call the cops on you.
I have no--it's out of my hands.
How are you?
Tom Evangelist
in Queens, New York.
I need a patrol car.
We have a defendant in custody.
>> * I'm the cool kid
* A rock star
* I'm that new fresh
* You've never seen before
* Like *
>> The knives are up here.
Seasonings.
>> Your seasonings are
suffering, baby.
>> My seasonings are dope.
>> I'm cookin' dinner for Sky at
her apartment, so we can just
sit down and have girl's night
and talk.
She's been a great support
through all the stuff that I've
been through.
>> So what's been goin' on?
>> Nothin', just workin'.
>> [oil sizzling]
>> How are things with you and
Ceas?
Your boo?
>> That's not my boo.
>> What's up?
>> I don't know.
I don't really talk to him.
Ceas and I are on decent terms.
We're gettin' along and that's
where it is.
I got stuff to do.
I got money to make.
Ceas is a grown [bleep] man, and
I ain't got time to be worried
about what he want.
>> [sighs] Gosh!
I wish you would stop being
petty and just keep it a buck.
Do you miss Ceas?
>> Girl, this is a little
[bleep] oven.
How do I cook a pot in here
and damn chicken?
>> So I'll take that as a yes.
I don't believe Dutchess.
I see the way she smiles still
when I talk about the [bleep].
That's love.
Are you ready for this story?
>> What?
>> About my boo.
I have deep feelings for this
[bleep].
For real.
>> How deep, Sky?
>> They not shallow.
You can't step in a puddle or
nothin'.
It's very hard dating someone
that's locked up.
You want to touch them.
You want to kiss them.
You want to feel that [bleep].
[coughs] [laughs]
>> Tell me more.
>> He's 28.
>> Mm-hmm.
>> He got a few kids.
[laughs]
>> What's a few?
>> [laughs]
>> I don't wanna say the number.
They be like,
"Oh, he's got a few kids.
"I don't really know how many,
"but he got a few."
>> I'm masturbating more.
Did I TMI?
I don't give a [bleep].
We're in my house.
I needed to get that out and
tell someone.
>> I'm glad that you could share
that with me.
>> We haven't done it yet.
That's how I know I like this
[bleep].
>> Now what if you have sex with
this man and the sex is trash,
you still gonna wanna be with
him?
>> You're a Dr. Phil
bubble-poppin' ass bitch.
At least I know where the
[bleep] my [bleep] at, okay?
He's waiting for me 'cause he
has no choice.
>> I'm wary.
>> Why?
>> 'Cause I haven't seen you
like this.
>> I know!
But I really--that's how you
know I really like him!
>> Let me check you.
You might have a fever.
>> Check that fever, boo!
I do got one.
It's called a "love fever."
>> Oh, Jesus.
>> A vagina fever.
"The Vagina Monologues."
>> I'm--
>> My vagina's talking and
sayin', "Hey, I love Bobby.
"I can't wait to meet him."
>> [laughing]
That [bleep] might be in
love.
It might be for real.
It might just be infatuation,
but as long as she's happy, I'm
happy for her.
I have a surprise for you.
So I got a ill photo shoot with
this amazing photographer for
"Inked" in Paris.
>> Oh, man, that's exciting!
>> I've been invited to Paris to
shoot with "Inked France."
Having "Inked France" be my
first major international shoot
is really, really big for me,
because the first major shoot
that I ever shot was with
"Inked America."
Now I have, like, a whole nother
international market that gets
to see who Dutchess is.
If you can get, you know, freed
up, I'd love for you to go with
me.
>> Yes, [bleep], I will go with
you!
>> So I can't be real [bleep] in
Paris, you know.
>> [bleep] in Paris!
[bleep] we made it!
I think I can clear my
schedule!
When [bleep] is we goin'?
Wait!
Oh!
Wait!
Tell me when we leaving?
>> Not right now.
>> All right.
Bitch, 'cause I could hop and
leave.
>> I'm not saying [bleep] about
the leave.
>> Like I--[laughs]
France is [bleep] rich
ass [bleep].
Voulez vous vous chez.
>> [glass clinks]
>> Avec quoi.
>> *
* Uh-huh
* Da, da, da, da, da, da
* I gotta be me
* Not what's on TV
* Stay true to who I am
* Man, and be free
* Don't worry about
* How they perceiving you
* Just hold your head high
* And keep achieving, dude *
>> *
>> How ya doin', guys?
>> I've tried hard to be a
better person, and it seems like
I just put myself right back
into a situation I didn't want
to be in.
I let Anya down.
I let myself down and I'm not
gonna be here to see this child
be born.
>> * You say hello
* To my bad side
* Who-o-oa, whoo-ooh
*
* My bad side
>> [sobbing]
This is something
that I'm gonna regret for the
rest of my life.
I wasn't there for Lulu when she
was born.
And her mother, Coley, has not
been able to forgive me for it,
and I haven't forgiven myself
either.
>> * I used to be a good guy
>> It's over for me.
>> * You say hello
* To my bad side
* Ooh, who-o-o-oo-ooh
>> [siren wailing]
>> * Say hello to my bad side *
>> We don't wanna be like the
typical people and not make it
through our marriage.
That would suck.
>> Everything that you do
revolves around you going to a
party.
You're not a good husband.
I've given up a lot.
It's time for a change.
>> *
>> * Now I need your love
* To keep me from going under
* And I breathe your love
* So without it I will die *
>> I really don't know what I'm
going through with Quani right
now, and she comes back tonight.
She asked me to get some air.
I personally
didn't understand it.
And we're
going through that right now.
And it's not easy.
>> [horns beeping]
>> Hi, baby.
>> Hi, Chocolate Man.
>> Mm.
Mm!
Here ya go.
>> Thank you.
>> How was your trip?
>> It was cool.
It felt like goin' home for
the--for the month.
>> All this time apart is like
killing me slowly.
Don't get it twisted.
>> I don't think I really wanna
be back.
>> [siren wailing]
>> Like, I thought that little
bit of time away would've
maybe helped you figure it out.
>> [sighs]
>> I'm confused.
>> I don't know.
I've been thinking about a few
things.
Some thing's just making it not
as happy as it was, I guess.
Like the moment we came home
from Jamaica, everything just
seemed so different.
I'm not happy with you.
You're not a good husband.
Puma goes out.
He--he comes home 4, 5 o'clock
in the morning.
Why don't you stay at home and
put Tamia to bed once of these
nights?
Puma's not giving me and Tamia
the equal time that he's giving
to the partying and everything,
and it hurts.
Were you completely ready to get
married?
Did you feel like you had to get
married because of Mia?
>> That's like a piercing right
there, like the tip of it just
touched my heart.
I actually really, really love
my wife.
I love my family.
I love the concept of my family,
so that burns.
That [bleep] hurts.
>> At the moment, it's how far
can Puma go.
What Quani doing?
Quani's at home with Mia.
Puma's out and having a good old
time.
>> I don't have a--
>> Networking.
>> --good old time.
>> And partying.
>> If you're gonna start
throwing the partying thing out
there--
>> But that's what you do.
Everything that you do revolves
around you going to a party.
I feel like I am making
compromises.
I've given up a lot just for
Puma, and it's time for a
change.
I don't know where to go from
here.
I just have, like,
the "I don't know" going through
my brain, like circling
around in my brain.
I don't believe Puma understands
what I'm going through...
at all.
Sometimes I feel like it's just
not gonna work out with us.
>> Wow.
That's not making me feel
confident in the situation right
now.
We don't wanna be like the
typical people and not make it
through our marriage.
That would suck!
>> I'll figure it out.
I always do.
>> My heart's poundin'.
This is the real moment of truth
right here.
If the judge feels like it, he
could send me to Rikers.
And if that happens, I'll be
[bleep].
>> *
>> * I stay up late nights
* Smokin' in the moonlight
* Trippin' on how
* This world works
* Lookin' for some insight
* I push myself to the edge
* This beautiful life
* I push myself to the brink
* It's all worth it
* And it makes me
* Stop and think
* No one can claim
* That I didn't live
* All of this beautiful life *
>> I've been sitting in the cell
for 12 hours
waiting to see the judge.
My heart's poundin'.
This is the real moment of truth
right here.
My fate's in the hands of this
judge.
He's basically determining
whether or not I'll be released
and if I'm gonna see this child
be born.
>> This arrest could be a
violation of the terms of my
bail for this gun charge.
If the judge feels like it, he
could send me to Rikers.
And then if that happens, I'll
be [bleep].
>> Is there anything that you'd
like to say before sentence is
imposed?
>> ATTORNEY: No.
>> No, your Honor.
>> *
>> When you lead the pack, you
gotta whole bunch of angry
[bleep] waitin' for you to fail.
>> Ooh, lemon pepper?
Oh [bleep] got money.
You know what I mean?
When you got different flavors
of chicken.
>> I owe you something, Puma?
>> * If this is greatness
* I gotta go harder
* I am a soldier
* I've gotta move harder
>> Come outside then!
Come outside!
>> I'm so far beyond being a
tattoo artist and just
Black Ink.
>> * I know you want it
* So baby take the spotlight
>> [camera clicking]
>> * Everything is all right
* [unintelligible]
* 'Cause the way
* It makes her feel *
>> Are you high again?
>> It says that I'm positive.
>> Cuff him up.
>> He's gonna go
to Rikers Island now.
>> Why would you disappoint me
like this?
>> And then when I ask you not
to speak to me, you come out
your mouth and call me all types
of bitches.
And I'll tell you to [bleep].
When it comes to Puma, he gets
away with a lot.
And I'm tired of feeling like
everybody's runnin' my [bleep]
life when none of you are
runnin' my life!
I'm off this!
>> We might have a lot goin' on,
but we know when to turn up.
>> Black Ink!
>> * Show 'em how we do
* Show 'em how we do, o-o-oh
>> [coughing]
>> * Show 'em how we do
* Show 'em how we do *
>> I knew I liked girls
when I was like five.
I remember as a kid always
wantin' to play house.
I'll be daddy.
>> Hey.
Why the [bleep] would you have
her here at the photo shoot?
>> Because she's my girlfriend
now, Mom!
>> Stay away from my daughter.
>> Go for your love!
Go fight for this [bleep]!
>> Dutchess, will you marry me?
>> I love Ceas, but I would not
marry him.
>> I don't like that you're
livin' with my fiancée.
>> I love [bleep].
She's not even who [bleep] be
with.
It's making me wanna reach over
and just strangle her.
>> What are you texting him
telling him you love him?
>> You're crazy.
>> I'm crazy?
>> [unintelligible] bitch!
>> FEMALE OPERATOR:
25, Code 6.
>> Your past always catches up
to you.
>> Sky is looking at almost nine
years in prison.
>> I wanna go home.
[sniffling]
>> You're Ceaser of Rome, right?
Call me Brutus, bro.
I'm comin' for that mother
[bleep].
>> MAN: Yo! What's up?
>> You snap and you go back to
that little ghetto [bleep] kid.
Everything that I worked for
could be gone in a split second.
>> [unintelligible]
>> You shoulda never put your
hands on my woman, homey.
I declare war.
>> *
