>> Everybody who got a job,
raise your hand.
'Cause this bum [bleep] don't.
Ha!
>> What was the purpose to even
wanna meet up with me?
>> Well,
how do you feel about me coming
back to the shop?
>> No.
Let me tell you something--let
me tell you something about you.
You're stupid as [bleep].
>> I don't give a [bleep] about
Dutchess.
I will be back at Black Ink.
Like I will take all of her
clients.
>> What's really holding us here
now?
>> I've lived in New York City
all my damn life.
>> I'm not staying, regardless.
>> Have you guys seen this?
Puma put this post up.
This might be a call for help.
When you hit rock bottom,
you don't know what a person is
capable of.
>> You got a business on 124th
Street.
You wanna own it,
and I'm open to that suggestion
>> I wanna monopolize Harlem.
That's better than taking over
mother [bleep] block.
>> Why would you buy Ink 124?
Ceaser buying Ink 124,
that's what's not gonna happen.
Nothing's holding me back from
moving to North Carolina.
And you're gonna just make me
have to move down south.
Either own my own,
or I'm gonna have to wait
forever.
>> *
[unintelligible rapping]
>> [bleep] hot.
>> DUTCHESS: Good God.
This heat is [bleep].
We are back down south,
back in my hometown.
And I am just excited.
I'm happy to be home.
Hi!
>> DAD: Hey, baby.
>> DUTCHESS: Hey, daddy.
Me and Ceaser are, you know,
getting ready for the next phase
of our life.
So when me and Cease get
married,
I'm trying to move to North
Carolina.
I'm looking to plant that seed
in my fiancé's mind and his
heart to know that this is what
I want.
>> Come outside.
Let me show you all what I've
already done.
>> Some good eatin'?
>> Food already started?
>> Almost.
>> [indistinct chatter]
>> Nini!
When I go home,
it's like waking up at
Christmas.
Everybody wants to come to the
house.
What up?
Everybody wants to be around,
because they don't get to see me
that often.
Bye, baby.
So it's just like a family
reunion kinda.
>> I hope y'all's bellies are
empty,
because I'm getting ready to
fill 'em up.
>> That's what I want.
>> MAN: That's right.
>> It's like a bunch of love,
a bunch of food, fun,
playing basketball with my
nephew, drinking moonshine.
Mm.
>> It wasn't bad.
>> Just the simple things in
life that you can't really spend
money to get.
It's just the nature of the
beast being in the south, baby.
>> Hey, Crystana, C,
all I wanna know is what this
house you all gonna go look at.
>> I feel like if we can expand
our brand and make more money,
why we can't have a business in
the house here just like we do
in New York.
>> So you're saying you're just
gonna get a house here or you're
gonna live here?
I mean what?
>> Daddy,
when he sees the house that we
gonna go look at--
>> Vacation house.
>> Not vacation,
it could be normal.
>> [unintelligible].
Can he live in the south?
>> I don't know.
Here we go.
Not only do I have Dutch
pressuring me to move down
south,
but now I got her military,
killer, assassin pops
wanting me to move.
Ain't that some [bleep].
>> So what about the south don't
agree with the life you live in
New York?
>> All this damn grass and dirt.
>> [laughing]
>> My joy is gonna get [bleep]
up in this [bleep].
In North Carolina,
I'm not a fish out of water.
I'm like a fish that never been
in water.
You gotta watch out for deers.
You gotta watch out for [bleep]
possum.
I've never even seen poison ivy
before.
What the [bleep] is that?
I thought it was a cartoon
character from Batman.
>> Little Jordan.
You look cute pregnant.
She be kicking and stuff?
>> Oh, yeah.
>> My sister is about to give
birth to my niece.
My nephew, I was there.
I was the first person to touch
him.
These are the things that I'm
missing out in the life all
because I'm in New York.
>> I'm happy that you're home.
We miss you down here, you know?
>> I'm happy to be here.
I miss y'all.
I miss a lot of Jay's growing
up.
>> And I wish you could come
home more.
>> I hope I can come home more.
I miss you so much.
>> And I--
>> And I don't wanna miss
Jordan.
>> Yous was in the room when I
had Jayden.
So when I have Jordan,
you'll be in there, too.
>> [crying] I--I wish sometimes
I could give all of this
away...so I could be here.
>> But I know you busy.
I know you're a busy woman,
and you have a busy schedule.
We can't be there for each other
like we want to be,
but we love each other and we
support each other.
And that's all that matters.
And we gonna do better.
We workin' on it.
Whatever we need to do,
it's gonna happen.
>> Yeah, you might
be talking to Cease though.
>> Well, we will.
>> Let's go have some fun.
>> I'll talk to him.
>> It's a special toast.
I wanna thank mommy,
my future-in-law,
and my whole extended family.
But this to Dutchess.
I didn't really have a heart
before you here.
You are my heart now.
>> Oh, thank you, baby.
I love you.
>> CEASER: Cheers to you.
To family.
>> DUTCHESS: To family.
>> [cheers]
>> CEASER: For me to uproot and
just leave New York,
I'm not really sold on the idea
yet.
Especially that I have the
opportunity to buy Ink 124.
>> [cheering]
>> MAN: Yeah,
that's what I'm talking about.
>> Yeah, that's some
good moonshine right there.
You know what I mean?
Yeah.
>> You don't get this anymore.
This is the down south turning
up, baby.
>> [unintelligible]
>> [laughing]
>> WOMAN: Turn up.
>> CEASER: Oh, God.
>> *
>> How long it'd take you to
learn how to tattoo, [bleep]?
Like actually master [bleep]?
>> It took me like four years
until I started getting good.
I was just using [bleep]
line-ins to do everything.
[bleep].
>> Not you suppose to [bleep]
people.
That's why you're supposed to
tat your homeboys.
>> [buzzer sounds]
>> What the [bleep]?
>> My meeting with Dutchess
didn't work out.
But [bleep] invited me to come
to Black Ink.
Ceaser and Dutchess aren't here,
so it seems like it's a good
time to come.
My dream was move to New York
City and be around these black
tattoo artists who really just
took pride in their work.
>> What up?
>> DONNA: I'm gonna work harder
and really grind and show Ceaser
and them that I do deserve to be
tattooing at Black Ink.
>> What the [bleep] are you
doing here?
You about to blow us up?
Is that what you about to do?
>> No, I'm not [bleep].
>> Donna,
why the [bleep] are you?
Ceaser told you not to come back
here,
and you always wanna do what the
[bleep] what you wanna do, aah.
No,
this is why Ceaser fired you in
the first place.
Because you don't listen.
>> [bleep] what I Donna here for
today?
>> Well,
she's here because she got an
appointment today.
She's gonna do a tattoo here.
>> Who okayed that?
>> I'm single now.
There's no Anya to stop me.
Why not be her mentor?
I mean,
people could say that it's like
a Bill Clinton,
Monica Lewinsky kind of thing,
except there was no cigars
involved.
>> What time is your client due
here?
>> Client's actually already
here.
>> Oh, you getting tatted?
>> Oh, you getting tattoo?
>> No, his name is Handerson.
>> I knew it.
>> Nice to meet you.
>> I knew it!
>> High five.
Handerson is just a synthetic
arm that most artists use to
practice their tattoos on.
I wanna help Donna out,
but I'm not about to let her
[bleep] up a real client.
You know what you're gonna
tattoo on here?
>> [bleep] hilarious now.
>> Did you tell Cease, at least?
Or is this just something he's
not here [bleep] know?
>> This is something that I'm
doing all by myself.
Go ahead.
Go set up the room,
and get everything ready.
Like any of you all gonna say
something to Ceaser?
>> --snitching.
Somebody's gonna take the blame
for this.
>> And I'm not taking no blame.
The man who signs my checks,
Ceaser,
has banned you from this shop.
You bitch,
you ain't gonna be in here
tattooing, that's not okay.
I was just trying to FaceTime
the [bleep] now--
>> MAN: [laughing]
>> I mean,
I'm concerned only because I
need money.
I'm gonna get me a brand-new
ass.
[bleep] that ho.
>> *
>> Oh, boy, that air feels good.
>> Oh, yeah.
So let's say I start my gun
collection today,
which one should I get?
>> Um...get you something
reliable and easy,
so you can use it and Dutch.
>> I'd rather her buy her own
gun if she gonna murder me with
it.
>> [laughs] Well,
if you pick it out, you know,
you know what you're facing.
>> You know what?
You're right.
I need a little--
>> [laughs]
And you can't have that in New
York.
>> Oh,
you can't have nothing in New
York.
If you have a [bleep] pea
shooter, you're going to jail.
>> See,
that's why you need to come to
the south...where you can have
more freedom to be yourself.
I mean,
'cause you're in the family now.
>> I am scared to the death of
moving to North Carolina.
Dutchess is gonna have a [bleep]
gun in her purse.
That's not good for me,
because sometimes I like to
mouth off,
and I might get popped.
>> My daughter,
she--I know--I know she loves it
here.
I know you love it, too.
I'm just wondering,
do you love it enough to wanna
move down here?
>> I've never been anywhere but
New York my whole entire life.
>> I feel ya.
>> [phone ringing]
>> CEASER: Give me one second.
[bleep].
Hello.
What the [bleep]?
No, I want her out of my shop.
I'm not playing with no [bleep]
body.
I can't believe the [bleep]
Sky's telling me right now.
I know [bleep] is [bleep] with
right now.
But he knows how much I dislike
Donna.
I leave him for one [bleep] day,
and this is what he do?
How can I possibly move to North
Carolina?
That [bleep] run my shop
straight to the [bleep] ground.
Yo,
tell her get the [bleep] out my
shop, B.
I'm not playing with no
[unintelligible].
If he wants to [unintelligible],
I will have the whole [bleep]
projects in there.
Get that [bleep] out of my shop.
>> SKY: Hey, yo, bitch!
Cease says you gotta get the
[bleep] out.
>> MAN: [bleep] getting laid.
>> This is some New York
[bleep].
I'm from Cleveland, Ohio.
We do not take disrespect.
>> You're a [bleep].
>> That's one of those
du-du-duh.
>> Du-du-duh.
>> You single [bleep] bottle,
Puma.
What were you thinking?
>> I wanted to see blood.
>> You all gotta fight.
>> If you her friend,
why don't she don't feel
comfortable with you around me?
Because you got a history with
this [bleep].
This my [bleep].
I give you a pounding.
>> I can throw down with the
best of them.
My ass-whooping days is over,
my mama's gone.
>> And if I tell you what I want
and it don't mean nothing to do,
then don't ask me what I want.
>> She keeps talking about what
she wants.
What about what I want?
>> You wanna stay in New York,
that's fine.
>> All right.
>> *
>> SKY: Hey, yo, Donna!
Cease say you gotta get the
[bleep] out.
>> MAN: [bleep] getting laid.
>> That's one of those
du-du-duh.
>> You crazier than a [beep].
>> What?
I can't bring Donna around here?
>> MAN: [bleep].
>> No, stupid!
You know you can't!
>> Duh! Duh!
>> What part of "I don't want
"that [bleep] in that shop no
more" didn't you--
[laughing]
>> I thought he was playing.
>> So...yes.
>> We can reschedule,
definitely.
I'll see you later.
>> You're an [bleep].
>> [applause]
>> You know what, Donna?
That's one of the best things
I've ever heard you say.
>> I just feel like [bleep] was
being selfish.
Like he should have thought
about how I would feel if I came
to the shop and wasn't welcomed.
And how everybody else would
feel if I came to the shop.
Like I just spent $20 on a cab
to come up here,
wasting my time,
was all mad pumped that I was
about to do a tattoo.
Got in the back, got [bleep],
and now I'm here.
And I feel like a reject.
It sucks because, right now,
after I've been fired from Black
Ink, [bleep] is my only
connection with the shop.
So what can I do?
>> Deuces!
>> Hey, man, yo,
look both ways before crossing
the street.
>> That was some [bleep] you
[bleep].
>> That's like a Crip turning
into a Blood,
and you telling them, "Yo,
"come back to the hood and come
chill with us."
>> [laughing]
>> It don't work like that.
>> You know what happened was?
I called her when I wasn't--I
wasn't in my right state of
mind.
>> Oh, you was thinking about
you trying to get that old thing
back.
[laughs]
>> It's like a situation that I
know I shouldn't be doing,
but I do it anyway.
When it comes to dealing with
the woman,
it seems like all of my logical
thinking goes out the window.
And sometimes I just get
possessed by the [bleep].
I didn't expect you all to be
here.
That's why I told her to come so
early.
I thought this [bleep] was gonna
be empty in this mother [bleep].
I should have told you [bleep]
"You know what?
Come in at 3:30."
>> Yeah, that would've work.
>> I'd have [unintelligible]
everything in here.
Everything would have been
[bleep].
>> [laughing]
>> MAN: See,
when you tell the truth,
it makes more sense.
>> *
>> I had fun coming home.
>> It's where you belong.
It's your roots.
>> I miss it.
>> I wish you would come home,
baby.
You know that.
What about Cease?
>> [moans]
I don't know.
All I can do I offer a slice of
this life to him.
That' all I can do.
Whether he takes it or not,
I can't control that.
>> I know the ups and downs you
and Cease been through.
I know there's been times I
probably wanted to kill him.
>> Probably.
>> And you know,
if he'd been closer,
it probably would've happened.
>> [laughs]
>> But, uh, you know,
he in the family now.
>> And I appreciate how
everybody treats Cease the same
way as they treat me.
Like the way he grew up ain't
the way I grew up.
>> Nah.
>> He don' know what it's like
to have a father.
He don't know what it's like to
have a mother that's really,
really loving and supportive.
Cease's upbringing is just
different than mine.
He doesn't understand what it
means to have that family
structure.
It really hurts my feelings to
see that a lot of Cease's
problems could have been dealt
with had he had some of the
fundamentals that most kids grow
up having in their life.
>> I'm gonna do everything I can
to make him a better man and,
um, understand him more.
>> I appreciate that, daddy.
That means a lot to me.
I love you.
>> Yeah.
>> Let's get on this tattoo.
>> DAD: Let's do it, baby.
>> DUTCHESS: My dad has been
wanting me to do a tattoo that's
dedicated to the Marine Corps.
'Bout time I do your Marine
tattoo.
>> DAD: Well, baby,
I wanted this tattoo many moons
ago when I was in the Corps.
Made me stronger.
Able to survive.
And I pass it onto you.
>> The way that my father raised
me and my siblings is very
military.
He was very strict.
As a child, I hated it.
But I don't think that I would
be as successful in my life had
it not been for my family.
>> Hoo-rah!
>> * I'm so on fire
* Propane in my veins
* Butane in my blood
[unintelligible rapping]
* I'm so on fire
>> DUTCHESS: My father raised me
to be strong and to be patient
and don't give up on [bleep].
So I will definitely have a
house in North Carolina.
I will definitely have
a business in North Carolina.
And there's nothing in my way
saying that I can't do it.
Just gotta plan and go,
and we out of there.
>> DAD: That means the world to
me.
It's really even better because,
you know, my baby gave it to me.
Oooh, I love it.
Thank you, baby.
>> You're welcome.
>> *
>> [horn honks]
>> *
>> SKY: Seein' Puma's post on
Instragram with the lonely boy
in the corner,
it is a cry for help,
especially in the midst of this
whole situation.
Yo.
>> What up, Sky?
>> SKY: Losing his friends,
his business.
I wanna see where his head is
at,
because God knows he's capable
of trying to bust [bleep] Cease
in the head with a bottle.
You never know.
I'm not trying to walk in Blank
Ink and get my [bleep] chopped
off or some [bleep].
How you doing?
>> I'm all right.
>> How's Tamia, Quani?
>> They're moving to Atlanta.
>> SKY: Are you serious?
>> I'm dead serious.
Quani's like now,
"We outta here,
we gonna just leave."
You know what I mean?
We off this.
>> I'm sorry.
>> That pisses me off the top,
because my family's here to
support me.
And now you got my family
feeling uncomfortable because of
your presence.
That one got me upset.
My family's safety is my main
priority.
It always has been,
always will be.
So my wife wants to move to
Atlanta,
I'm somewhat down to do that.
But I'm usually the one that
runs head forward into my
[beep], you know?
House is on fire,
I'm gonna run inside.
'Cause I don't want anybody to
ever think that I'm running.
Especially running from Ceaser.
[bleep] runs from him?
>> Are you okay?
>> It doesn't really matter
anyway.
>> I mean,
when it comes down to certain
things,
you--you made it all bets off
when you swung a [bleep] bottle,
Puma.
What were you thinking at that
moment?
>> That I wanted to see blood.
>> It's like you just don't give
a [bleep] no more.
>> At that time,
I didn't give a [bleep].
No, I didn't.
>> Dude,
you're not trying to do anything
to put yourself in jail.
I just came home.
That [bleep] is no bueno.
Are you built for that?
Are you--are you really built
for that?
No.
Me, personally,
like I just can't fathom baby
Mia not having you around.
You put a lot of people around
you in danger,
because you were the person that
ignited that flame.
All these other people,
they shouldn't be in the circle
of that.
It's not right.
>> Well,
that's because I got a problem
with Ceaser.
And everybody else is putting
themselves in it.
But at the end of the day,
I've never made that position
for people.
I've never presented that.
>> But now you have.
>> PUMA: Well--
>> SKY: What position do you
think people are put in now?
>> Nobody else was--
>> To be so messy, it sucks.
Too many people are already
involved in the situation.
This whole debacle all started
because of Puma and Ceaser.
So those are the two who have
the power to stop this [bleep].
When's the last time you all sat
down and have a verbal
conversation?
>> It's beyond that.
>> Real men apologize.
>> You think I'm really like
joking?
It's way beyond that.
>> SKY: I'm not joking.
You gotta talk that [bleep] out
and just let it be seen.
>> There's no one talking.
>> You all gotta fight.
Just a regular fight.
A regular one-on-one,
man-to-man fight.
Just fight the feared one and
get it over with.
>> You just can't be hitting my
[bleep] up at 1 in the morning,
asking my [bleep] on a date.
You her friend.
Come to my house.
I'm out [bleep].
>> Really?
>> Get the [bleep] out of here.
>> Really?
>> DUTCHESS: Baby,
you have the right to bear arms
here.
>> Everybody else does, too.
That's how all scary movies
start.
Black man buys big-ass house.
And before you know it,
there's an ax murderer ready to
[bleep] kill you.
>> *
>> Where did you get that arm
from?
>> [bleep] gave me the arm.
>> MAX: Oh, okay.
>> Yeah.
>> I hope that's the only thing
you're doing with that big
[bleep] arm is tattooing it.
[laughs]
>> What else am I gonna be doing
with it?
>> I don't know.
I be at work.
>> Fisting my [bleep].
I didn't know it was gonna be
like--[laughs]--how it was.
Like [bleep] made a big deal
though when I was there
about--about to tattoo this
[bleep].
And that's why I'm doing it here
now.
>> They don't want you to go
nowhere.
That's what that is.
>> Right.
>> You gotta step your [bleep]
up.
Do your thing.
>> *
>> I moved to New York to build
myself up and become a tattoo
artist there.
My mission is not gonna stop.
I'm from Cleveland, Ohio,
we do no quit at the end of the
day.
>> * I think we're gonna
* Make it, make it
>> * Kid growing up
* I knew that I was different
* I told 'em one day
* I'd be the best
* But they didn't listen
>> DONNA: I changed my life to
come and be a part of Black Ink.
And I'm not gonna give up on my
dreams.
I bet they'll be begging me to
work there again.
>> *
* I think we're gonna
* Make it, make it
* I think we're gonna
* Make it, make it *
>> *
>> See all the new houses they
building out here.
This is new.
Nobody be in our house but us
first.
As opposed to New York and you
got 8,000 asses that done
set on your toilet
before you got to sit on it.
And for the price we pay for
[bleep] rent for two bedroom,
we could have this.
Today,
I'm going to look at a house
that could be a possible
prospect for my dream house.
>> Look at all the [bleep]
cobwebs on the damn tree.
You think I wanna walk in
[bleep] like that?
>> And why are you walking in
the trees?
Ceaser ain't never seen a
big-ass,
[bleep] fancy house on [bleep]
acres and acres of land.
New York,
you're living on top of one
another in a little-ass cubicle
apartment for thousands of
dollars and you don't even get
to enjoy your space.
The only thing I'm doing is
exposing him to a different way
of life.
If we was in [bleep] Africa,
I might be showing him some
huts.
>> Yeah,
you tell me all the goods about
this [bleep].
But what are the bad?
Too many [bleep] trees.
>> Baby,
you have the right to bear arms
here.
>> Yeah, yeah, yeah.
And everybody else does, too.
That's how all scary movies
start.
The black man gets a sack full,
move to the woods,
buy a big-ass house.
And before you know it,
there's an ax murderer ready to
[bleep] kill you.
I'm good.
>> I wanna own a house.
That's what I want.
>> *
>> DONNA ON PHONE: Yo.
>> Yo, homie, what's poppin'?
>> DONNA: I'm tattooing
Handerson as we speak.
>> Want me to come up and check
it out?
>> DONNA: No, definitely not.
But I'll come down there.
>> All right, come downstairs.
I'm at Donna's house now,
because it's like a pop quiz.
I want to see how far she's
actually gotten done with the
hand that I gave her.
I've always had a
student/teacher fantasy.
I really wanted to, you know,
be there around here,
help her out.
>> I got the [bleep].
I want you to see it.
I didn't shade it yet.
I'm telling you,
I'm WWSD right now.
What would [bleep] do?
>> It's not consistent.
Right here is dark in the line.
>> I'm gonna go inside and
finish and take my time,
and I'm gonna show you when it's
done.
And then you're gonna shut up.
I respect [bleep]'s artistry.
The way he behaves himself as an
artist,
like I don't really approve of,
but I definitely can learn
things from [bleep].
>> Gonna give me a tour of your
spot?
>> No.
No [bleep] in my house.
>> That's bull [bleep].
>> You feeling a way?
>> Yeah, a little bit.
>> DONNA: Don't be.
>> Just a little bit.
>> The seed was planted in my
man's head that I was [bleep]
with this man.
I'm not even about to have that
in my house.
>> Yo, stop, yo, stop.
The police stand's right around
the corner, [bleep]
I get you for that D and V.
>> [laughs] Domestic violence.
I can't deal with you.
Bae.
>> What's up?
>> Why are you bringing [bleep]
to my spot?
>> What?
Bae,
I'm seriously I'm not about to--
>> Bae, I'm about to do that.
Why are you bringing [bleep] to
my spot?
If this is your friend--look,
let me tell you something.
If you her friend, right?
Why don't she comfortable with
you around me?
'Cause you got a history with
this [bleep].
Like he ain't jammed you all up.
Don't respect me as a man.
You know what I'm saying?
This is my [bleep].
I give you a pound [bleep].
>> I can throw down with the
best of 'em.
My ass-whooping days is over,
my mama's gone.
>> QUANI: Like this why we're
not gonna be leaving like this.
You're supposed to be leaving
with us.
I'm hoping that Puma's not
staying behind so that he can go
and do something reckless.
I'm no one's prison' life.
I'm not going to visit you in
Rikers.
It's too bad it had to end like
this.
>> [crying]
>> *
>> Don't respect me as a man.
You know what I'm saying?
This is my [bleep].
I give you a pounding, dumb ass.
>> Max still has Dutchess in his
ear,
making him question my loyalty.
And that hurts.
I've never given Max a reason
not to trust me,
even though I definitely had the
opportunity to.
He wanted to check on the tattoo
that [bleep] he mentors me
about.
>> MAX: Calm down, D,
because you got me tight.
>> You got me tight.
>> You brought [bleep] to my
spot.
If this is your friend,
why he can't come inside?
>> This is close-mind.
>> You come outside and meet
[bleep].
This is real [bleep].
>> [horn honks]
>> Have some [bleep] respect, D.
If this is your--
>> That's why we're standing
outside.
>> And he's not inside,
and he's your friend?
If she's your friend,
why doesn't she feel comfortable
with me and you hanging out?
Or you coming in my house?
Because you have history with--
>> I don't have a problem with
that.
If me--
>> But he does have a point
though.
This is why I don't normally
mess with women who have men.
Me,
I like things that are easier.
My life gets complicated enough
without me trying to talk to
somebody's girl.
>> All I'm saying,
have some [bleep] respect.
You, too, [bleep].
I know you all got some history.
I know she be lying a lot.
It's what she do.
You know what I'm sayin'?
>> Yeah.
>> You just can't be hitting my
[bleep] up at 1 in the morning,
asking my [bleep] on a date.
You her friend.
Come to my house.
I'll [bleep].
>> Really?
>> Get the [bleep] out of here.
>> Really?
Max, you can't
trust me that--like you
the one who look stupid at the
end of the day.
You know what it is.
So right now you letting people
infiltrate your mind that don't
even [bleep] matter.
It just hurts.
It just makes me question like
how he really feels at the end
of the day.
Because either we gonna be in
this or we not.
Yo, I'm out.
>> Later.
>> I love you. Bye.
>> A'ight.
I don't wanna put myself in a
more sticky situation.
I can't be [bleep] with big
booty [bleep] like Donna,
that's for damn sure.
>> *
>> Daddy!
[crying]
>> QUANI: Don't be upset.
>> [crying]
>> Ow!
>> Why did you hit, daddy?
That's not nice.
>> 'Cause you wanna get out.
I understand.
Today's the day that Quani's
gonna go set up shop in Atlanta.
With all this drama's that's
going on since the fashion week
brawl,
Quani doesn't feel too safe in
New York.
And now that Ink 124 closed
down,
she feels there's no reason to
stay.
You're gonna be safe?
>> Yeah.
I just wish you were coming with
us.
>> I honestly wish I was coming,
too.
>> I'm not going down there to
be a single mom.
I'm hoping that Puma's not
staying behind so that he can do
and do something reckless.
He needs to stay safe.
He needs to not get arrested.
I'm no one's prison wife.
I'm not going to visit you in
Rikers.
None of that.
You know you have a family at
home.
Be safe, be good, come home.
>> I'm not trying to have you as
a single mom.
I actually love my daughter a
lot,
and I'm trying to be in her life
foreva.
>> *
>> PUMA: Come on,
you gotta go bye-bye.
>> Bye-bye?
>> Yea, bye-bye.
I know, I'm sorry.
>> Yeah, you have to sit down,
mommy.
Sit. Come on Mia.
>> I know.
>> [moaning]
>> Can I have a kiss?
All right.
>> QUANI: Come on, come on.
You gotta help mommy out here.
>> [crying]
>> No, don't cry!
>> Of course it breaks my heart
to see my daughter like that.
I love my family dearly.
They're like all I got.
But with all this drama and
everything,
I have a whole bunch of other
responsibilities to take care
of, man.
>> [crying]
>> Like this is why we're not to
be leaving like this.
You're to be leaving with us.
>> [crying]
>> QUANI: It's too bad it had to
end like this.
>> When I think back of all the
things that's happened in the
past few years,
I've had some good times.
I had a beautiful kid.
I got married.
>> MAN: I now pronounce you
husband and wife.
>> PUMA: I opened up a cool-ass
business for the community.
And I really appreciate all you
guys coming out, man,
this is like love.
>> [crowd cheering]
>> *
>> [crying]
>> And then I just dealt with
hate and envy and ignorance.
I've been dealing with all those
things.
>> [crying]
>> Do I owe you something?
>> No, wait, hold on.
For me,
going to support Black Ink
stupid grand reopening party.
>> Get the [bleep] out here.
>> [indistinct yelling]
>> [bleep].
>> And Ceaser bringing Big Joe
to my [bleep] apartment door and
ringing my bell while my wife
and child were there alone.
>> Is Puma in?
>> QUANI: No, he's not here.
>> [bleep] Blank Ink.
>> We know your M.O.
[bleep].
>> There's a lot going on this
year.
>> That [bleep] [bleep] yo.
>> PUMA: And as soon as I fight
back,
I am the [bleep] enemy of the
state.
Life is like a [bleep]
rollercoaster.
You have your ups and you have
your downs.
It's all about how you get up.
>> * Tonight
* I promise
* I'll treat her right
* For the rest of my life
* Please don't
>> PUMA: At the end of the day,
I have one thing to take care of
with Ceaser.
It's all
gonna come to the light.
And when it all does,
we'll just see who has the last
laugh, man.
>> * Please don't
* Take her away *
>> DUTCHESS: If we had a midtown
apartment and a child,
that's not even feasible.
>> Now I put a ring on your
finger,
you wanna talk about some kids?
This [bleep] a lot for me, yo.
>> *
>> DUTCHESS: How many people you
think that live over here that
look like us that's coming to
break in your [bleep] house?
Very few, I'm sure.
>> But the few that has
happened,
probably has looked like us.
And that's the problem.
We're looking at potential
properties for us to move into.
Like home ownership.
This a white people issues.
You know, what they say?
They say [bleep] property value
down,
and they got [bleep] friends,
and they [bleep].
>> Well,
we gotta make sure we don't
bring our property value down,
baby.
[bleep] we made it.
>> [turn signal beeping]
>> DUTCHESS: It's nice.
>> *
>> Who is going to be mowing
this lawn?
>> We'll have a gardener.
Hey.
>> Hey.
>> Good to see you guys.
How are you?
It's good to see you.
>> I love this foyer.
>> *
>> REALTOR: It's a two-story
foyer.
That's a great chandelier.
It's marble floors.
>> DUTCHESS: Oh,
I love the mosaic tile.
Mm-hmm.
Nice little dining area for the
family.
>> *
>> That's my dream house.
When you work hard for certain
things,
you wanna really enjoy those
things in life.
And I don't wanna work hard to
live in a trailer park.
>> You have a double oven here.
>> CEASER: A double oven?
Not only do you not use it once,
but you cannot use it twice.
>> [laughs]
>> Shut up.
>> REALTOR: Lake Norman area.
It's well-known for the lake and
its activity.
>> DUTCHESS: This is really
nice.
>> Oh, yeah,
'cause I've been fishing lately.
I already could tell me and
Dutchess ain't on the same page.
This house is ridiculous.
I could already see she's gonna
back me into a corner.
And then I'm gonna have to have
a big conversation about our
future,
which I've been dreading this
whole entire trip.
>> Well,
we have the deck that leads to
the beautiful view of Lake
Norman.
>> CEASER: Wait,
that's our whole backyard?
>> Yeah,
that's your entire backyard.
And then you have 100 feet that
goes further out into the water.
Why you making a face?
You don't like it?
>> I don't need this much land.
>> REALTOR: Well,
I'll tell you what.
Why don't I let you guys have a
private discussion,
and I'll wait for you on the
inside, okay?
>> DUTCHESS: Okay.
>> Okay.
>> Baby...look at our backyard.
>> Cease,
this is why I've worked hard for
all my life.
This is the type of [bleep] I
feel like I deserve.
You telling me you want to be my
husband.
You telling me you want to give
me the life that I dreamed of.
And yet I'm presenting that life
to you,
and now you act like it's the
[bleep] end of the world.
>> It's okay, baby.
I know this is your dream.
And this is kinda like my
nightmare.
>> You're blowing my whole
[bleep].
It's not fair.
>> CEASER: How?
This [bleep] is like Crystal
Lake.
Wait till Jason comes out.
>> Every [bleep] lake look like
Crystal Lake.
It's called a lake.
I'm trying to have a safe haven
of peace, tranquility.
>> I hear what you're saying.
It sound like some Malcolm X
speech.
>> No,
it sound like what I want.
And that's what I want.
>> She keep talking about what
she wants and what she deserves.
What about what I want?
So what's the price on what you
want?
>> This house is...around 2.
>> [laughing]
Two what?
>> Million.
>> This [bleep] trippin' if she
think I got that kind of paper.
I'm just a [bleep]
thousand-aire.
Not a millionaire,
a [bleep] thousand-aire.
We need all this [bleep]?
You tell me.
You wanna work off $2 million?
I's bet you won't understand
we're never gonna be here and
we're gonna always gonna be
[bleep] working.
>> You wanna stay in New York,
that's fine.
>> All right.
>> And if I tell you what I
want, and it don't mean
nothing to you,
then don't ask me what I want.
I'll get what I want my damn
self.
I've given up things just
because of you.
I'm just asking you to meet me
halfway so I can have some of
the things that make me happy,
too.
>> *
>> We need all this [bleep]?
You tell me.
You wanna work off $2 million?
I's bet you won't understand
we're never gonna be here and
we're gonna always gonna be
[bleep] working.
>> You wanna stay in New York,
that's fine.
>> All right.
>> And if I tell you what I
want, and it don't mean
nothing to you,
then don't ask me what I want.
I'll get what I want my damn
self.
Ceaser's not at all receptive
and he's approaching this like a
child,
and he's being very
closed-minded.
I know that this is something
that I'll need to do for myself.
And if he's going to be my
fiancé and a big part of my
life,
then just like I'll support him,
he has to support me.
>> I don't know what the [bleep]
she has the attitude about.
I'm the person who has to
compromise everything,
and she don't gotta compromise
[bleep].
>> *
>> DUTCHESS: Baby.
I don't care about a $2 million
house.
That has no value to me.
What has value to me is me
having a house on the lake that
I dreamed of.
And to have that with you.
>> *
>> CEASER: Like you say,
you from down here.
You always dreamed of like a
house on the lake and [bleep]
like that.
Me...I dreamed about an
apartment in midtown.
>> Cease,
if we have a midtown apartment
and a child...that's not even
feasible.
It's not even logical.
>> CEASER: Dutchess always say,
"Oh, I'm not having a kid.
I don't want no kids."
Now when I put a ring on your
finger you wanna talk about some
kids?
This [bleep] a lot for me, yo.
Like these are life-altering
decisions.
>> *
>> Honey, I hear you.
But you confuse the [bleep] out
of me.
Sometime you talk you want a
kid, sometime--
>> Cease,
I'm never gonna say I wanna have
kids around your [bleep] friends
and the people at Black Ink.
You know why?
Because when I had my
miscarriage,
none of them was there for me.
I had a miscarriage,
and it was a very hard thing for
me to deal with.
I didn't have any support system
around me.
Everyone at Black Ink treated it
like it was nothing.
Like it was just something to
get over.
All of them [bleep] talk [bleep]
about me.
Some of 'em even said,
"I'm glad that she lost that
child."
Like why would I want to share
something that's so beautiful
with people that made me feel
like [bleep] when I was going
through one of the hardest times
in my life?
I do want to have kids.
Especially when you can have a
life this like.
Provide a beautiful home for 'em
like this.
Be a great parent to 'em, yeah,
that would be wonderful.
When I wanted to leave New York,
I didn't because of you.
It was the only thing that kept
me there.
I've sacrificed.
I've given up things just
because...I want to be with you.
I've left everything behind
because I just want to be with
you.
>> Like these are thing that you
strive, that you wanted.
I never wanted a family before.
>> DUTCHESS: You never wanted a
family.
You never wanted a wife.
>> I never wanted none of that
[bleep].
This is all new to me.
All this time,
I've been stressing over New
York versus North Carolina.
Whether or not I'm gonna buy Ink
124.
Thinking those are things that
was making me nervous.
But in truth,
I'm really scared that I can't
fulfill Dutchess' dreams of
being a husband and a father.
So what do you wanna do?
You want this house or not?
>> I'm just asking you to meet
me halfway so I can have some of
the things that make me happy,
too.
>> So what's this
unfinished business you have
left to handle?
>> Uh, I'm meeting with Ceaser.
>> Maybe this will help.
You know?
>> Or maybe it'll make
everything ten times worse.
>> The last time Puma saw
Ceaser,
he was trying to bust him over
his head with a Henny bottle.
>> Speaking of,
[unintelligible]?
>> I don't know yet, bro.
I wanna sign a pre-nup.
I built Black Ink from the
ground up.
Nobody's gonna take it away from
me.
>> Like I love my kids.
I just don't want them to think
that--that I don't think about
them.
>> Why don't you reach out?
>> I want them to know that,
hey, your mom loves you.
I didn't know how to be a
mother.
And I still don't.
[crying]
>> What am I taking from you,
baby?
Black Ink is barely kicking
rocks.
If you [bleep] with me,
I will come for your God damn
jugular.
>> I'm gonna give you the
opportunity you never gave me.
We're supposed to handle it man
to man.
So stand up.
Right.
>> [indistinct yelling]
>> *
>> Hey, your mom loves you.
I didn't know how to be a
mother.
And I still don't.
[crying]
>> What am I taking from you,
baby?
Black Ink is barely kicking
rocks.
If you [bleep] with me,
I will come for your God damn
jugular.
>> I'm gonna give you the
opportunity you never gave me.
We're supposed to handle it man
to man.
So stand up.
Right.
>> [indistinct yelling]
>> *
