172
00:06:51,912 --> 00:06:53,113
She looks good!
173
00:06:53,180 --> 00:06:55,282
- So what would be
the first question
174
00:06:55,349 --> 00:06:56,416
you asked them?
175
00:06:56,483 --> 00:06:58,118
- How long have you
been working at
176
00:06:58,185 --> 00:07:00,320
the position that
you've applied for?
177
00:07:00,387 --> 00:07:04,124
I am elite with coming up
with interview questions.
178

Trust and believe.
179
00:07:05,392 --> 00:07:08,328
- Um... mm, no.
180
00:07:08,395 --> 00:07:09,796
- What?!
181
00:07:09,863 --> 00:07:11,365
What was wrong with that?
182
00:07:11,431 --> 00:07:12,900

183
00:07:14,501 --> 00:07:17,137
- What's the lowest
you'll work for?
184
00:07:17,204 --> 00:07:18,272
- What?
185
00:07:18,338 --> 00:07:19,740
- What attracted you
to the position?
186
00:07:19,806 --> 00:07:21,308
Th-- that's not a good one?
187
00:07:21,375 --> 00:07:23,277
- This not a date, (bleep).
- Alex?
188
00:07:23,343 --> 00:07:25,746
- Can I get like,
a lifeline or something?
189
00:07:25,812 --> 00:07:27,948
- Phone a friend.
190
00:07:28,015 --> 00:07:30,050
I wasn't serious, (bleep)!
191
00:07:30,117 --> 00:07:32,319

the answer, bro.
192

a part of the Black Ink brand?

00:07:34,221 --> 00:07:36,557
- Boom, see?
That's a good one.
194
00:07:36,623 --> 00:07:38,992
Second question?
Alex?
195
00:07:39,059 --> 00:07:40,294
- How long have you been working
196
00:07:40,360 --> 00:07:43,564
in the position
that you're applying for?
197
00:07:43,630 --> 00:07:46,099
- Uh, do you like tattoos?
198
00:07:48,168 --> 00:07:50,003
- These (bleep) are high, okay?
199
00:07:50,070 --> 00:07:52,206
Damn, man, you can't

00:09:27,334 --> 00:09:31,405
My intention with you
is opening up another shop.
243
00:09:31,471 --> 00:09:34,274
- You wanna make business moves,
I see it, Tatti.
244
00:09:34,341 --> 00:09:36,977
- I don't wanna get stuck
running the front desk.

00:09:37,044 --> 00:09:39,046
And even though
my legal troubles could
246

potentially be
a stumbling block,

I've been with him
for two months,
284
00:11:05,165 --> 00:11:07,835
but I kinda kept this
a secret because
285
00:11:07,901 --> 00:11:10,537
I just wanted to make sure
this was it.

Baby, what's all this?
287
00:11:11,939 --> 00:11:14,842
- What you mean,
you ain't worth all of this?
288
00:11:14,908 --> 00:11:17,845
- I was in a relationship
with Rob a couple of years,
289
00:11:17,911 --> 00:11:19,146
and I thought
I found my family.
290
00:11:19,213 --> 00:11:22,850
- I love you, Young Bae.
- I love you too.
291
00:11:22,916 --> 00:11:24,718
- Will you marry me?
- Yes!
292
00:11:24,785 --> 00:11:27,421
- But it ended badly.
293
00:11:27,487 --> 00:11:30,657
I've been trying my hardest
to make this marriage work,
294
00:11:30,724 --> 00:11:33,560
but Rob don't seem like
he cares anymore.
295
00:11:33,627 --> 00:11:36,430
After that, I wasn't really
trying to be in a relationship
296
00:11:36,496 --> 00:11:37,931
or date at all, like,
297
00:11:37,998 --> 00:11:39,766
I was just happy
being alone
298
00:11:39,833 --> 00:11:41,835
and just being Niko's mom.
299
00:11:41,902 --> 00:11:45,138
But then I met Jay,
eventually he wore me down.
300
00:11:45,205 --> 00:11:48,008
- First meeting you, you know
I fell in love, right?
301
00:11:48,075 --> 00:11:49,009
- You know, you're pushy.
302
00:11:49,076 --> 00:11:50,777
Like, "you're gonna be my wife,
303
00:11:50,844 --> 00:11:53,046
you gonna be my this,
you gonna be my that."
304
00:11:53,113 --> 00:11:54,915
I was like...
- And what happened?
305
00:11:54,982 --> 00:11:56,216
- None of that yet.

None of that.
308
00:11:58,819 --> 00:12:00,854
My mind changed when, um,
309
00:12:00,921 --> 00:12:03,624
you came to my shop
and we started talking.
310
00:12:03,690 --> 00:12:04,825
- And then we made out
in your shop.
311
00:12:04,892 --> 00:12:07,094
I got a little...
- Oh my God.
312
00:12:07,160 --> 00:12:09,029
- We been together for
a little minute now.

ain't long at all.
314
00:12:11,231 --> 00:12:12,666
- I can't wait to get you
pregnant again.
315
00:12:12,733 --> 00:12:14,968
- Oh, my God!
316
00:12:15,035 --> 00:12:16,737
- I don't know, I just knew
I was in love already.
317
00:12:16,803 --> 00:12:19,473
- You know, after Rob,
I didn't date anybody.
318
00:12:19,540 --> 00:12:21,475
I just didn't want that.
- Right.
319
00:12:21,542 --> 00:12:24,845
- 'Cause I didn't want
a broken family for my son.
320
00:12:24,912 --> 00:12:28,415
Niko is my world, and Niko
always comes first.
321
00:12:28,482 --> 00:12:30,484
That's my son.

00:12:34,388 --> 00:12:37,758
So I have to consider Niko when
picking a boyfriend.
324
00:12:37,824 --> 00:12:40,761
Fortunately,
Jay is great with Niko.
325
00:12:43,063 --> 00:12:45,766
- Being with you I knew
was so much risk,
326
00:12:45,832 --> 00:12:47,134
and I knew it was
gonna cause an issue.
327
00:12:47,201 --> 00:12:48,702
I knew that me being
in love with you
328
00:12:48,769 --> 00:12:52,739
and you falling for me would
make a lot of people upset.
329
00:12:52,806 --> 00:12:54,241

to get in trouble
330
00:12:54,308 --> 00:12:56,743
'cause of your job,
'cause you're a producer

our relationship.

00:20:02,069 --> 00:20:04,104
- You know what, I'ma do--
I'ma do most of the questions.
513
00:20:04,171 --> 00:20:05,906
I'ma ask most of
the questions.
514
00:20:05,973 --> 00:20:07,474
I'm looking for
some good talent,
515
00:20:07,541 --> 00:20:09,610
I'm looking for some good people
to come in, great energy.
516
00:20:09,676 --> 00:20:12,112
The only people that I'm really
worried about right now
517
00:20:12,179 --> 00:20:16,149
is (bleep) Alex
and my homeboy Spyder, man.
518
00:20:16,216 --> 00:20:18,552
So y'all remember what
Ceas said, right?
519
00:20:18,619 --> 00:20:19,953
No crazy questions.
- Mm-hmm.
520
00:20:20,020 --> 00:20:21,889
- And keep me focused,
521
00:20:21,955 --> 00:20:23,090
'cause Ceas told me
not to flirt.
522
00:20:23,156 --> 00:20:24,625
(laughter)
523
00:20:24,691 --> 00:20:26,360
- If you need me
to bail you out,
524
00:20:26,426 --> 00:20:27,828
this is the bail out pen.
525
00:20:27,895 --> 00:20:30,163
I'm gonna be your backup.
- My man.
526
00:20:30,230 --> 00:20:32,266
- The boss told me I gotta
keep my eyes on Van
527
00:20:32,332 --> 00:20:33,901
with the whole little
flirty flirt thing.
528
00:20:33,967 --> 00:20:36,036
So we got the bail out pen
next to him
529
00:20:36,103 --> 00:20:37,771
just in case I can come to
his rescue one time
530
00:20:37,838 --> 00:20:40,140
on my Spyder-man (bleep),
you dig?
531
00:20:41,508 --> 00:20:42,876
- Hello.
- What's up?
532
00:20:42,943 --> 00:20:44,444
- Hello, hello.
- Hey!
533
00:20:44,511 --> 00:20:46,780
(Alex)
This my man JD.
- Nice to meet you, bro.
534
00:20:46,847 --> 00:20:47,948
- What's your name?
- Massi.
535
00:20:48,015 --> 00:20:48,949
- Massi?
- Yeah, nice to meet you.
536
00:20:49,016 --> 00:20:50,250
- I'm Van.
- Bianca.
537
00:20:50,317 --> 00:20:51,785
- Van, nice to meet you.
- B with the tats.
538
00:20:51,852 --> 00:20:53,887
- Have a seat,
what's going on, brother?
539
00:20:53,954 --> 00:20:55,055
- Pleasure, Van.
540
00:20:55,122 --> 00:20:56,490
- We should hire him
right now.
541
00:20:56,557 --> 00:20:59,993
- Oh, yeah, huh, Khylah?
So you like what you see?
542
00:21:00,060 --> 00:21:02,229
Van, gimme that bail out pen.
543
00:21:02,296 --> 00:21:03,764
- So how long have you
been tattooing?
544
00:21:03,830 --> 00:21:05,732
- Only two years.
- 12 years.
545
00:21:05,799 --> 00:21:06,800
- 12?
- Yeah.
546
00:21:06,867 --> 00:21:08,202
- I'm not a tattoo artist,
547
00:21:08,268 --> 00:21:09,536
but I could be
the receptionist.
548
00:21:09,603 --> 00:21:11,605
I could be an assistant,
I could do anything.
549
00:21:11,672 --> 00:21:13,173
- Can you swim?
550
00:21:13,240 --> 00:21:14,441
- Yeah.
551
00:21:14,508 --> 00:21:16,410
- Do you eat sea moss?
552
00:21:16,476 --> 00:21:17,811
- No.
553
00:21:17,878 --> 00:21:19,513
- I don't know what the (bleep)
sea moss have to do
554
00:21:19,580 --> 00:21:20,781
with a tattoo.
555
00:21:20,848 --> 00:21:22,549
- You've been a receptionist.
- Yes.
556
00:21:22,616 --> 00:21:25,152
I do have a little lingerie
business on the side.
557
00:21:25,219 --> 00:21:27,254
- Really?
558
00:21:27,321 --> 00:21:29,122
- Just a little business on the
side that I have, you know?
559
00:21:29,189 --> 00:21:32,092
I do pretty well.
- Hmm.
560
00:21:32,159 --> 00:21:34,027
I'm not (bleep)
flirting, okay?
561
00:21:34,094 --> 00:21:35,562
I'm very professional.
562
00:21:35,629 --> 00:21:38,565
You know what,
I'm gonna take your information.
563
00:21:38,632 --> 00:21:40,200
Very.
564
00:21:40,267 --> 00:21:42,736
So, um, what's your
availability?
565
00:21:42,803 --> 00:21:44,204
- Very available, yeah.
566
00:21:44,271 --> 00:21:47,608
- Hmm, I think that you
may be a perfect fit.
567
00:21:47,674 --> 00:21:48,909
(laughter)
568
00:21:48,976 --> 00:21:50,210
You made it to the next round.
569
00:21:50,277 --> 00:21:51,645
I think you made it
to the next round.
570
00:21:51,712 --> 00:21:53,013
(overlapping chatter)
571
00:21:53,080 --> 00:21:55,916
- I think so.
- Today was a major success.
572
00:21:55,983 --> 00:21:57,985
I look forward to doing
more of these.
573
00:21:58,051 --> 00:22:01,755
- Bye, JB. Bye!
- She got the-- (bleep).
574
00:22:01,822 --> 00:22:03,223
- You like that (bleep),
don't you?
575
00:22:03,290 --> 00:22:05,158
- Well, you got her number.
- Massi?
576
00:22:05,225 --> 00:22:06,994
Yeah, I got her number
'cause it's--
577
00:22:07,060 --> 00:22:08,929
I gotta show Ceas
what the (bleep)--
578
00:22:08,996 --> 00:22:12,299
(laughter)
- Yo, you're full of (bleep).

587
00:22:27,814 --> 00:22:29,283
- This looks nice,
this looks nice.
588
00:22:29,349 --> 00:22:31,552
- You like?
- Oh yeah, Tatti,
589
00:22:31,618 --> 00:22:34,087
put that elbow grease in.
590
00:22:34,154 --> 00:22:36,089
- Ceaser seems to be
in a great mood,
591
00:22:36,156 --> 00:22:38,025
and he realizes
all the hard work
592
00:22:38,091 --> 00:22:39,426
that I've put into 125th,
593
00:22:39,493 --> 00:22:42,462
so now seems like a great time
to talk to him
594
00:22:42,529 --> 00:22:45,465
about expanding
Black Ink to Long Island.
595
00:22:45,532 --> 00:22:47,267
- On, off.
On, off.
596
00:22:47,334 --> 00:22:50,537
You gotta do it in a circle
like Mr. Miyagi, yeah.
597
00:22:50,604 --> 00:22:52,239
This (bleep) is looking amazing.
598
00:22:52,306 --> 00:22:54,241
I knew bringing Tatti to 125th
599
00:22:54,308 --> 00:22:56,343
was the best idea
I ever had.
600
00:22:56,410 --> 00:23:00,447
So now that, um,
I'm back in New York...
601
00:23:00,514 --> 00:23:02,749
- Like you're moving up here,
or like you're just gonna
602
00:23:02,816 --> 00:23:05,252
hang out for a while?
- No, I'm moving back home.
603
00:23:05,319 --> 00:23:06,720
- So does that mean
you'll have some time
604
00:23:06,787 --> 00:23:08,488
to sit and talk with me?
605
00:23:08,555 --> 00:23:10,190
- Mmm, yeah, we can
have a conversation
606
00:23:10,257 --> 00:23:12,426
whenever you want, Tatti.
607
00:23:12,492 --> 00:23:14,061
- I know I have a lot
of baggage right now
608
00:23:14,127 --> 00:23:16,530
with my legal situation,
but I'm hoping Ceaser sees
609
00:23:16,597 --> 00:23:19,199
that what I bring to Black Ink
outweighs that.
610
00:23:19,266 --> 00:23:21,201
- So, Tatti, what you wanna
talk to me about, man,
611
00:23:21,268 --> 00:23:22,402
you got my ear,
what's up?
612
00:23:22,469 --> 00:23:25,339
- I wanna talk to you
about my growth
613
00:23:25,405 --> 00:23:27,841
in this company.
614
00:23:27,908 --> 00:23:29,076
Fact of the matter is
615
00:23:29,142 --> 00:23:31,645
I feel like I'm running
a front desk.
616
00:23:31,712 --> 00:23:34,214
So I would be more fulfilled
617
00:23:34,281 --> 00:23:36,183
and you would be
more fulfilled
618
00:23:36,250 --> 00:23:39,686
if I could open up
a Black Ink Long Island.
619
00:23:39,753 --> 00:23:44,157
- I don't have a problem
expanding with you.
620
00:23:44,224 --> 00:23:47,528
My biggest withdrawal
with everything
621
00:23:47,594 --> 00:23:49,029
is your case.
622
00:23:49,096 --> 00:23:51,698
(bleep) don't regularly
beat that type of (bleep).
623
00:23:51,765 --> 00:23:53,534
And I'm not putting
nothing against you
624
00:23:53,600 --> 00:23:57,938
but I need to basically know
that Tatti's not gonna go away.
625
00:23:58,005 --> 00:24:00,107
- So then I have to plan
the rest of my life
626
00:24:00,174 --> 00:24:02,643
as if I don't know what's
gonna happen tomorrow?
627
00:24:02,709 --> 00:24:04,444
- Until this case
is settled, yeah.
628
00:24:04,511 --> 00:24:06,947
Once that (bleep)
is clear, a'ight,
629
00:24:07,014 --> 00:24:08,582
and if it's not,
you gotta do some time,
630
00:24:08,649 --> 00:24:10,684
a'ight, when you come out
we revisit this.
631
00:24:10,751 --> 00:24:13,520
- It's hard for me to want
to continue to invest my time
632
00:24:13,587 --> 00:24:16,924
when, like you said, I don't
know what's gonna happen.
633
00:24:16,990 --> 00:24:20,761
I cannot express to you
how (bleep) frustrating it is
634
00:24:20,827 --> 00:24:23,397
to have something that
I have no control
635
00:24:23,463 --> 00:24:26,066
in the situation
dictate my future.
636
00:24:26,133 --> 00:24:27,668
I don't know if I can
continue working here
637
00:24:27,734 --> 00:24:31,905
if it's not gonna get me
where I wanna be career-wise.
638
00:24:31,972 --> 00:24:33,273
- I know this is hard
for you, Tatti.
639
00:24:33,340 --> 00:24:36,510
Know what I mean?
But listen,
640
00:24:36,577 --> 00:24:38,111
whenever you wanna
talk to me again
641
00:24:38,178 --> 00:24:39,580
or wanna revisit this (bleep)
642
00:24:39,646 --> 00:24:42,282
and you have that situation
under wraps,
643
00:24:42,349 --> 00:24:45,052
'cause I know
you going to, we can.
644
00:24:45,118 --> 00:24:47,788
Tatti is a great asset
to Black Ink.
645
00:24:47,855 --> 00:24:49,656
I know she can run a shop.
646
00:24:49,723 --> 00:24:52,693
But honestly, I'd be
a reckless businessman
647
00:24:52,759 --> 00:24:57,264
if I give her a shop knowing she
might be going away for years.
648
00:24:57,331 --> 00:25:00,234
Alright?
- I appreciate you.
649
00:25:00,300 --> 00:25:01,535
- Come on, gimme a hug?
650
00:25:01,602 --> 00:25:03,036
I ain't trying
to be no ass(bleep).
651
00:25:06,206 --> 00:25:09,076
Oh, everybody's here,
what's up with y'all?
652
00:25:09,142 --> 00:25:10,277
I gotta clean house.
653
00:25:10,344 --> 00:25:11,612
I gotta get rid
of this dead weight.
654
00:25:11,678 --> 00:25:13,547

00:25:34,301 --> 00:25:35,769
Let's go.
662
00:25:37,604 --> 00:25:39,206
There you go, press.
663

All weight to the center,
rep that (bleep).
664

- I work out at least
five times a week,
665
00:25:44,344 --> 00:25:46,346
'cause it distract me
from the stuff
666
00:25:46,413 --> 00:25:50,184
that I can't control,
like family and friends.
667
00:25:50,250 --> 00:25:52,886
Plus, I look good.
668
00:25:52,953 --> 00:25:54,254
- Hey, yo, Ceas, man.
669
00:25:54,321 --> 00:25:56,590
You getting wild alerts
from some (bleep)
670
00:25:56,657 --> 00:25:57,791
that sending hella
messages, bro.
671
00:25:57,858 --> 00:25:59,826
- Let me see.
672
00:26:03,931 --> 00:26:05,232
What the hell is this?
673
00:26:07,434 --> 00:26:08,969
What the hell?
674
00:26:09,036 --> 00:26:12,105
You know Donna's boyfriend?
675
00:26:12,172 --> 00:26:14,274
So somebody must have
commented in his comments
676
00:26:14,341 --> 00:26:16,443
talking about "Watching
your growth,
677
00:26:16,510 --> 00:26:19,913
glad you found someone
like Ceaser for real for real."
678
00:26:19,980 --> 00:26:22,382
This mother(bleep) put,
679
00:26:22,449 --> 00:26:24,117
"I appreciate the first part,
680
00:26:24,184 --> 00:26:26,320
but the second part
you buggin'?"
681
00:26:26,386 --> 00:26:29,723
Alex ain't never at the shop,
and when he is here,
682
00:26:29,790 --> 00:26:31,792
he wants to play
in the backyard
683
00:26:31,859 --> 00:26:34,461
or make commercials
I ain't even ask for.
684
00:26:34,528 --> 00:26:38,198
I was doing his ass a favor
by not firing him,
685
00:26:38,265 --> 00:26:40,634
and he wanna do this
(bleep) behind my back?
686
00:26:40,701 --> 00:26:41,835
Bro, homie in front of my face,
687
00:26:41,902 --> 00:26:43,036
he be, "Ceaser, Ceaser,
I love you",
688
00:26:43,103 --> 00:26:44,371
and then this (bleep)
behind my back?
689
00:26:44,438 --> 00:26:46,773
- Nah, that's what
these (bleep) do, cuz.
690
00:26:46,840 --> 00:26:49,176
(bleep) that negative
goofy-ass energy, man.
691
00:26:49,243 --> 00:26:50,978
- I just went off on
Ted and Puma,
692
00:26:51,044 --> 00:26:53,380
now I gotta go off
on this mother(bleep) Alex.
693
00:26:53,447 --> 00:26:55,949
I can't just ignore this.
694
00:26:56,016 --> 00:26:57,451

'cause I've been meaning

704
00:27:17,638 --> 00:27:18,839

705
00:27:18,906 --> 00:27:20,841
- You got a boyfriend
or something?
706
00:27:20,908 --> 00:27:23,210
- Yeah.
- You didn't tell me!
707
00:27:23,277 --> 00:27:25,812
- It just happened,
and it happened so quick.
708
00:27:25,879 --> 00:27:27,047
- I'm just hella surprised...
709
00:27:27,114 --> 00:27:29,016
- Right, and you know
how Jay is.
710
00:27:29,082 --> 00:27:31,051
- I was so (bleep) surprised!
711
00:27:31,118 --> 00:27:34,288
I had heard some rumors
that Bae and Jay
712
00:27:34,354 --> 00:27:36,089
may have had
something going on,
713
00:27:36,156 --> 00:27:38,659
and come to find out,
it's true.
714
00:27:38,725 --> 00:27:40,194
I'm genuinely happy for you.
715
00:27:40,260 --> 00:27:42,396
- He got fired for it
and everything.
716
00:27:42,462 --> 00:27:43,797
- Oh, he did?
717
00:27:43,864 --> 00:27:45,098
- I knew it's a matter of time
718
00:27:45,165 --> 00:27:47,167
that my friends would
start asking,
719
00:27:47,234 --> 00:27:49,636
but I'm not trying
to keep it a secret.
720
00:27:49,703 --> 00:27:51,071
Jay already got fired.
721
00:27:51,138 --> 00:27:52,573
- You gonna have
another baby?
722
00:27:52,639 --> 00:27:53,907
- Can you shut your mouth?
723
00:27:53,974 --> 00:27:56,343
- 2023, you're gonna
be knocked up again.
724
00:27:56,410 --> 00:27:57,878
(laughter)
You hear what I'm saying?
725
00:27:57,945 --> 00:27:59,046
So, good (bleep).
726
00:27:59,112 --> 00:28:01,014
- So what's been
going on with you?
727
00:28:01,081 --> 00:28:03,617
- The other day I had
a conversation with Ceaser.
728
00:28:03,684 --> 00:28:05,252
- Uh-huh.
- As far as like,
729
00:28:05,319 --> 00:28:07,254
you know I wanna open up
my own shop, right?
730
00:28:07,321 --> 00:28:09,256
But Ceaser pretty much told me
731
00:28:09,323 --> 00:28:10,924
as long as I have
these cases open,
732
00:28:10,991 --> 00:28:13,293
he's not willing to like,
open up a shop with me.
733
00:28:14,661 --> 00:28:16,964
- I wouldn't be opening up
a business with somebody
734
00:28:17,030 --> 00:28:18,632
who got a case open,
735
00:28:18,699 --> 00:28:20,601
'cause anything could
happen to that person.
736
00:28:20,667 --> 00:28:23,270
Why would I spend my money,
spend my time to open up
737
00:28:23,337 --> 00:28:25,272
a business, like,
that makes no sense.
738
00:28:25,339 --> 00:28:27,774
I mean, I guess
as a business owner,
739
00:28:27,841 --> 00:28:29,076
it makes sense.
- Yeah, no.
740
00:28:29,142 --> 00:28:30,777
I know I have
a lot of (bleep)
741
00:28:30,844 --> 00:28:32,513
going on in my life,
but I also like,
742
00:28:32,579 --> 00:28:34,414
can't allow myself to
only stay focused
743
00:28:34,481 --> 00:28:36,550
on the worst part
of my life right now.
744
00:28:36,617 --> 00:28:38,619
I have no desire to sit around
745
00:28:38,685 --> 00:28:40,153
and wonder what if.
746
00:28:40,220 --> 00:28:42,089
I have every intention
of continuing to push forward
747
00:28:42,155 --> 00:28:44,391
and sticking with the people
that support me.
748
00:28:44,458 --> 00:28:45,959
Let's go, girl,
I'm getting eaten up back here.
749
00:28:46,026 --> 00:28:48,795
- I know, let's go.
Oh, God.
750
00:28:48,862 --> 00:28:50,430
Let's go do this, Tatti.
751
00:28:52,466 --> 00:28:55,636
- There's too many
mosquitoes back there.
752
00:28:55,702 --> 00:28:57,871
OD.
- That's crazy.
753
00:28:57,938 --> 00:28:59,606
- Yo, so I been
reminiscing, right?
754
00:28:59,673 --> 00:29:01,775
- What?
755
00:29:01,842 --> 00:29:03,644
- On like, all these
old pictures.
756
00:29:03,710 --> 00:29:05,746
- Oh, my God.
757
00:29:05,812 --> 00:29:10,117
- I would love to have
a conversation with this girl.
758
00:29:10,184 --> 00:29:12,619
- What do you wanna tell her?
759
00:29:12,686 --> 00:29:15,722
- If I had the opportunity
to go back to give
760
00:29:15,789 --> 00:29:17,324
my younger self some advice,
761
00:29:17,391 --> 00:29:19,126
I would definitely tell her
762
00:29:19,193 --> 00:29:21,395
it's just important
to be more open
763
00:29:21,461 --> 00:29:23,630
because you never know
who can relate
764
00:29:23,697 --> 00:29:25,299
to what you're dealing with.
765
00:29:25,365 --> 00:29:27,935
You know, I think we all try
to figure it out on our own,
766
00:29:28,001 --> 00:29:31,305
but everything is a lesson
or a blessing.
767
00:29:31,371 --> 00:29:33,841
And so that's what
I was thinking about
768
00:29:33,907 --> 00:29:35,776
when I came up
with this design.
769
00:29:35,843 --> 00:29:37,277
How dope is that?
770
00:29:37,344 --> 00:29:39,580
- Oh, my God,
that's so cute.
771
00:29:39,646 --> 00:29:41,782
- The whole tattoo is a reminder
772
00:29:41,849 --> 00:29:43,917
to just like,
stay loving myself,
773
00:29:43,984 --> 00:29:47,354
and like, you know,
I'ma get through this.
774
00:29:47,421 --> 00:29:49,823
I would be honored if you could
do this piece for me.
775
00:29:49,890 --> 00:29:51,892
- It means a lot to me too.
776
00:29:53,060 --> 00:29:55,128
Let's do it.

00:29:55,195 --> 00:29:57,698

This tattoo just reminds me

00:30:08,475 --> 00:30:11,478
that we all have the opportunity
to change and do better
784
00:30:11,545 --> 00:30:13,547
and that's exactly
what I'm gonna do.

is gonna be, and it may take
years to resolve,
792
00:30:30,297 --> 00:30:32,399
but I know that I can't
just sit here waiting
793

to figure out what direction
my life is gonna head in.
794
00:30:34,601 --> 00:30:36,503
So I gotta do what's
best for myself,
795
00:30:36,570 --> 00:30:39,506
and that might mean
moving on from Black Ink.

Ohh!

Is somebody about to get fired?

824
00:31:58,218 --> 00:31:59,386
I got Van in the backyard
825
00:31:59,453 --> 00:32:01,989

00:32:24,511 --> 00:32:25,913
so goddamn chipper.
838
00:32:25,979 --> 00:32:28,182
He looks like he's about
to fire somebody.
839
00:32:28,248 --> 00:32:30,884
I don't know if he's still
mad at me and Ted.
840
00:32:30,951 --> 00:32:32,252
Is he?
841
00:32:33,520 --> 00:32:35,455

- Whew, somebody just
got saved by the grill.
844
00:32:39,660 --> 00:32:41,828
- Not the Grillfather.
(laughter)
845
00:32:41,895 --> 00:32:43,530

846

in Brooklyn,
know what I'm saying?
847
00:32:44,965 --> 00:32:47,067
I used to barbeque
literally all the time
848
00:32:47,134 --> 00:32:48,702

851
00:32:54,842 --> 00:32:56,176
in these people's
bellies, man.
852
00:32:56,243 --> 00:32:59,046
I wanna bring y'all
into the, um...
853
00:32:59,112 --> 00:33:01,481
- "Equanimical" garden.
(buzzer)
854
00:33:01,548 --> 00:33:02,683
- The equilibrium.
(buzzer)
855
00:33:02,749 --> 00:33:04,017
- Equanimity.
(ding)
856
00:33:04,084 --> 00:33:06,854
- Thank you, my brother.
Yeah!
857
00:33:06,920 --> 00:33:08,021
- Look at all this!
858
00:33:08,088 --> 00:33:09,389
- That (bleep) look crazy.
859
00:33:09,456 --> 00:33:11,859
- Chef Boyar-homeboy.
860
00:33:11,925 --> 00:33:13,760
I don't know what you did with
this right here, sir.
861
00:33:13,827 --> 00:33:15,062
It's about to keep you around
862
00:33:15,128 --> 00:33:16,463
a little longer,
I don't know.
863
00:33:16,530 --> 00:33:18,699
Maybe we could open up
a shop--
864
00:33:18,765 --> 00:33:20,667
half shop, half rib shack,
865
00:33:20,734 --> 00:33:22,836
because the way
you cookin' up, boy,
866
00:33:22,903 --> 00:33:25,072
like, you don't even need this
tattoo (bleep) no more.
867
00:33:25,138 --> 00:33:27,407
- I don't know what you did,
this (bleep) good.
868
00:33:27,474 --> 00:33:28,775
(chuckles)
869
00:33:28,842 --> 00:33:30,043
- Salad and (bleep)?
870
00:33:30,110 --> 00:33:31,478
- Yeah, look,
there's French fries.
871
00:33:31,545 --> 00:33:34,414
But listen, I'm, uh, glad
you came over here.
872
00:33:34,481 --> 00:33:36,016
- What's up?
- So regarding
873
00:33:36,083 --> 00:33:38,719
the conversation we had
the other day,
874
00:33:38,785 --> 00:33:40,387
I put a lot of thought into it,
875
00:33:40,454 --> 00:33:43,223
and I don't know
how to really stay still.
876
00:33:43,290 --> 00:33:44,758
And if I can't move in
the direction
877
00:33:44,825 --> 00:33:46,293
that I really wanna move in,
878
00:33:46,360 --> 00:33:50,097
I'll start like,
only focusing on the case.
879
00:33:50,163 --> 00:33:52,799
So I wanna keep moving.
- What you mean?
880
00:33:54,735 --> 00:33:57,738
- I don't know
how to put this...
881
00:33:57,804 --> 00:34:00,774
- This is sounding like
an "I quit" conversation,
882
00:34:00,841 --> 00:34:04,778
and nobody at Black Ink quit,
they get fired.
883
00:34:04,845 --> 00:34:08,949
- As upset as I am,
I understand.
884
00:34:09,016 --> 00:34:10,984
And you are right.
885
00:34:11,051 --> 00:34:12,319
I don't wanna
think about it,
886
00:34:12,386 --> 00:34:14,655
but the reality is I do
have to think about it,
887
00:34:14,721 --> 00:34:18,759
and let reality really hit.
888
00:34:18,825 --> 00:34:22,029
So for now,
I just need to slow down
889
00:34:22,095 --> 00:34:24,298
and spend some time
focusing on
890
00:34:24,364 --> 00:34:27,234
the work I do now
for the shop.
891
00:34:27,301 --> 00:34:28,869
I don't know what
the future will hold,
892
00:34:28,936 --> 00:34:31,905
but Black Ink feels like
a good fit for me right now.
893
00:34:31,972 --> 00:34:34,608
It gives me stability
in such an uncertain time.
894
00:34:34,675 --> 00:34:38,011
I have a ton of ideas on how to
build and expand the franchise,
895
00:34:38,078 --> 00:34:41,181
so even though Ceaser cannot
guarantee me a spot
896
00:34:41,248 --> 00:34:43,984
in Black Ink as
a business owner in the future,
897
00:34:44,051 --> 00:34:46,220
I'm still gonna keep
pushing forward.
898
00:34:46,286 --> 00:34:48,822
But believe me, as soon as
this case is settled,
899
00:34:48,889 --> 00:34:50,757
we will most definitely
be revisiting
900
00:34:50,824 --> 00:34:52,960
the Black Ink Long Island
conversation.
901
00:34:53,026 --> 00:34:56,230
I appreciate you, you know,
supporting me regardless.
902
00:34:56,296 --> 00:34:57,731
- Course, you wanna be
a little Beyoncé,
903
00:34:57,798 --> 00:35:00,000
go ahead, Beyoncé,
bang, women empowerment.
904
00:35:00,067 --> 00:35:02,135
Thank God Tatti ain't quit.
905
00:35:02,202 --> 00:35:03,704
I have enough people around here
906
00:35:03,770 --> 00:35:05,172
not pulling they
own damn weight.
907
00:35:05,239 --> 00:35:07,074
The last thing I need
is the one person
908
00:35:07,140 --> 00:35:09,009
who's doing a hell of a job
909
00:35:09,076 --> 00:35:11,311
to get up and leave.
910
00:35:11,378 --> 00:35:14,114
- What if I make this
into a steak burger?
911
00:35:14,181 --> 00:35:16,817
Oww.
(whistles)
912
00:35:17,985 --> 00:35:19,653
Nobody copy my idea.
913
00:35:19,720 --> 00:35:21,922
- Team, what's shakin',
what's shakin', what's shakin'?
914
00:35:21,989 --> 00:35:23,991
I got some people
I want you to meet.
915
00:35:24,057 --> 00:35:26,560
- These are the three
interviewees.
916
00:35:26,627 --> 00:35:27,561
(Ceaser)
How y'all doing?
917
00:35:27,628 --> 00:35:28,896
(overlapping chatter)
918
00:35:28,962 --> 00:35:31,064
- Can I see?
- Yeah.
919
00:35:31,131 --> 00:35:33,600
- Bianca has been tattooing
for two years.
920
00:35:33,667 --> 00:35:34,768
- Two years.
921
00:35:34,835 --> 00:35:36,970
- Two years?
What the (bleep)?
922
00:35:37,037 --> 00:35:40,040
That's good enough to bring her
for another interview?
923
00:35:40,107 --> 00:35:42,409
Tell me about her, do I have
to interview her myself?
924
00:35:42,476 --> 00:35:43,644
- She can swim.
925
00:35:43,710 --> 00:35:44,845
(laughter)
926
00:35:44,912 --> 00:35:46,914
- You're off the committee.
927
00:35:46,980 --> 00:35:48,148
- Van was there to, you know,
928
00:35:48,215 --> 00:35:50,083
supervise everything.
- Van?
929
00:35:50,150 --> 00:35:51,919
- The boss man don't seem
too impressed so far,
930
00:35:51,985 --> 00:35:53,453
but hey, I'm just an artist.
931
00:35:53,520 --> 00:35:56,256
I'm not in charge and I wasn't
in charge, right, Van?
932
00:35:56,323 --> 00:35:59,359
- Van, tell me about
these interviewees.
933
00:35:59,426 --> 00:36:01,261
- Your name JB, right?
934
00:36:01,328 --> 00:36:04,298
I took a liking to JB,
his work, his realism.
935
00:36:04,364 --> 00:36:06,633
This young lady right here
is very hungry.
936
00:36:06,700 --> 00:36:08,969
From her first pictures
all the way till the end,
937
00:36:09,036 --> 00:36:10,470
you see a lot of growth.
938
00:36:10,537 --> 00:36:13,106
The reason I chose Massi,
939
00:36:13,173 --> 00:36:14,741
she's looking to do like,
940
00:36:14,808 --> 00:36:16,476
you know, front desk,
receptionist type of deal.
941
00:36:16,543 --> 00:36:17,945
- I'm a boss already.
942
00:36:18,011 --> 00:36:20,747
Like, I have
a lingerie business.
943
00:36:20,814 --> 00:36:22,349
- Now I know why Van picked her.
944
00:36:22,416 --> 00:36:24,051
None of these guys
are impressive.
945
00:36:24,117 --> 00:36:25,586
How the hell am I gonna expand
946
00:36:25,652 --> 00:36:27,521
if this is the talent
that's coming in?
947
00:36:27,588 --> 00:36:30,123
Clearly before
I can take on anyone new,
948
00:36:30,190 --> 00:36:32,025
I gotta clean house.
949
00:36:32,092 --> 00:36:33,594
I gotta get rid
of this dead weight.
950
00:36:33,660 --> 00:36:35,596
(Young Bae) You looking
for somebody like me?
951
00:36:35,662 --> 00:36:36,763
- (bleep) no.
952
00:36:36,830 --> 00:36:38,232
(laughter)
953
00:36:38,298 --> 00:36:41,301
Thank you all for coming out,
enjoy some food.
954
00:36:41,368 --> 00:36:45,105
Y'all have given me
a lot to think about.
955
00:36:45,172 --> 00:36:48,275
- Oh yeah, this steak.
Ha! The steak got it.
956
00:36:50,077 --> 00:36:51,979
- I can't even enjoy
this barbeque right now.
957
00:36:52,045 --> 00:36:54,114
I let my personal life
affect my business,
958
00:36:54,181 --> 00:36:56,049
and it's all (bleep) up.
959
00:36:56,116 --> 00:36:57,351
Somebody's gonna have to pay.
960
00:36:57,417 --> 00:36:59,786
- I have absolutely
no idea what Cease
961
00:36:59,853 --> 00:37:01,188
wants to talk to me about.
962
00:37:01,255 --> 00:37:03,323
- I'm not gonna act
one way in front of you
963
00:37:03,390 --> 00:37:06,326
and then talk about you
behind, know what I mean?
964
00:37:06,393 --> 00:37:08,829
But I'm looking on
social media,
965
00:37:08,896 --> 00:37:11,598
and it's like, if Alex feels
some type of way about me,
966
00:37:11,665 --> 00:37:14,168
why he ain't just say it?
967
00:37:14,234 --> 00:37:17,838
I feel like that (bleep)
right there was crazy.
968
00:37:17,905 --> 00:37:19,606
My (bleep) is now, right, bro?
969
00:37:19,673 --> 00:37:22,242
We can't just keep smiling in
each other's faces, you feel me?
970
00:37:22,309 --> 00:37:33,020
♪♪♪♪
971
00:37:33,086 --> 00:37:34,855
- If Alex feels some type
of way about me,
972
00:37:34,922 --> 00:37:36,490
why he ain't just say it?
973
00:37:36,557 --> 00:37:39,259
We can't just keep smiling in
each other's faces, you feel me?
974
00:37:39,326 --> 00:37:41,795
I know all too well
how social media comments
975
00:37:41,862 --> 00:37:43,797
can be blown up into
something bigger
976
00:37:43,864 --> 00:37:45,165
and affect real life.
977
00:37:45,232 --> 00:37:47,768
(bleep), look what
happened to Donna.
978
00:37:47,835 --> 00:37:51,205
That stupid-ass post spelled
the end of Donna's career,
979
00:37:51,271 --> 00:37:53,640
and it look like her stupid-ass
boyfriend is doing
980
00:37:53,707 --> 00:37:55,642
the same stupid (bleep) too.
981
00:37:56,910 --> 00:37:58,745
Now, the only reason
why I picked it up
982
00:37:58,812 --> 00:38:01,748
'cause (bleep) "ated" me.
983
00:38:01,815 --> 00:38:03,717
- That wasn't me
being disrespectful.
984
00:38:03,784 --> 00:38:06,587
It's just I didn't like
the way (bleep) worded it.
985
00:38:08,388 --> 00:38:12,092
What I took from that was
Ceas made me who I am,
986
00:38:12,159 --> 00:38:13,460
and that's not the case.
987
00:38:13,527 --> 00:38:16,096
I made myself who I am,
Ceas helped along the way.
988
00:38:16,163 --> 00:38:18,532
- You gotta look at it
like this, right?
989
00:38:18,599 --> 00:38:19,900
We supposed to all be one,
990
00:38:19,967 --> 00:38:21,502
we can't talk about
each other like that,
991
00:38:21,568 --> 00:38:23,003
not on no big platform
like that.
992
00:38:23,070 --> 00:38:24,805
- I understand where
you coming from,
993
00:38:24,872 --> 00:38:27,140
so I'll make sure I'm
on the same type of page.
994
00:38:27,207 --> 00:38:28,809
You see the power
of equanimity?
995
00:38:28,876 --> 00:38:30,177
Me and Ceas was
able to talk it out
996
00:38:30,244 --> 00:38:32,279
without even raising our
voices at each other,
997
00:38:32,346 --> 00:38:36,450
and it's all thanks to
the deadass garden, deadass.
998
00:38:36,517 --> 00:38:39,086
I appreciate you.
- Alright, bro.
999
00:38:39,152 --> 00:38:41,755
Yeah, I hear you, Alex,
but I don't trust
1000
00:38:41,822 --> 00:38:43,857
mother(bleep) who talk
behind people's backs.
1001
00:38:43,924 --> 00:38:46,426
But right now, I got
bigger issues to deal with.
1002
00:38:46,493 --> 00:38:49,229
A'ight, listen, only reason why
I'm sitting here talking
1003
00:38:49,296 --> 00:38:51,131
to y'all about this (bleep)
situation right now,
1004
00:38:51,198 --> 00:38:54,434
because it's not Spyder and Alex
job to find new recruits.
1005
00:38:54,501 --> 00:38:55,769
There's four bosses here.
1006
00:38:55,836 --> 00:38:58,105
We (bleep) gotta get
(bleep) together, bro.
1007
00:38:58,172 --> 00:39:00,841
When we was all dead broke
and (bleep) up,
1008
00:39:00,908 --> 00:39:02,876
Black Ink was all our dreams.
1009
00:39:02,943 --> 00:39:05,179
Black Ink was to get us
the (bleep) out the hood.
1010
00:39:05,245 --> 00:39:07,714
It feels like I'm carrying
mother(bleep),
1011
00:39:07,781 --> 00:39:09,716
'cause y'all mother(bleep)
ain't dedicated
1012
00:39:09,783 --> 00:39:11,218
to this (bleep) right here.
1013
00:39:11,285 --> 00:39:15,389
Like, one time, this was
all our dreams, yo.
1014
00:39:15,455 --> 00:39:16,957
- Puma and I helped Ceas build
1015
00:39:17,024 --> 00:39:18,358
this brand from the ground up,
1016
00:39:18,425 --> 00:39:21,028
but that's his dream.
What Ceaser really has
1017
00:39:21,094 --> 00:39:23,897
to understand is we can
be loyal to Black Ink
1018
00:39:23,964 --> 00:39:26,600
and still pursue what we
wanna do with out lives.
1019
00:39:26,667 --> 00:39:28,869
You know I'ma
support you 1,000%,
1020
00:39:28,936 --> 00:39:30,404
this is something
we wanted to do,
1021
00:39:30,470 --> 00:39:32,039
but at the end of the day,
the whole Black Ink thing,
1022
00:39:32,105 --> 00:39:34,374
that's like,
it's your dream, bro.
1023
00:39:37,344 --> 00:39:39,880
- But you planning for a future
we don't know about.
1024
00:39:39,947 --> 00:39:41,582
Let's just plan
for what we know.
1025
00:39:41,648 --> 00:39:43,050
(Puma) You been wilin' out
lately, bro.
1026
00:39:43,116 --> 00:39:45,953
We can take care of Black Ink
and other things.
1027
00:39:51,058 --> 00:39:53,427
- Maybe I lose sight
of the bigger picture.
1028
00:39:53,493 --> 00:39:54,928
Ted and Puma
are my day ones,
1029
00:39:54,995 --> 00:39:57,297
and they been holding me
down since.
1030
00:39:57,364 --> 00:39:59,099
Maybe Puma's right.
1031
00:39:59,166 --> 00:40:01,368
I have been doing
the most about Black Ink,
1032
00:40:01,435 --> 00:40:04,838
but right now that's all
I got to focus on.
1033
00:40:04,905 --> 00:40:07,841
Please not-- let's not forget,
we still got Black Ink.
1034
00:40:07,908 --> 00:40:11,211
- Absolutely. I know what
Black Ink means to us.
1035
00:40:11,278 --> 00:40:13,080
The communication thing,
we can definitely work on that
1036
00:40:13,146 --> 00:40:15,582
and figure out
a schedule to where
1037
00:40:15,649 --> 00:40:16,984
we can all make our moves
1038
00:40:17,050 --> 00:40:19,520
but (bleep) in the shop
is handled first.
1039
00:40:19,586 --> 00:40:21,822
- Alright.
- A'ight.
1040
00:40:21,889 --> 00:40:24,191
- See, this is how a boss
handles lieutenants.
1041
00:40:24,258 --> 00:40:28,028
He gives them enough freedom
to spread they wing.
1042
00:40:28,095 --> 00:40:30,998
As long as he puts
Black Ink first, though.
1043
00:40:31,064 --> 00:40:32,366
(sighs)
Good talk, fellas.
1044
00:40:32,432 --> 00:40:33,901
I can finally eat.
1045
00:40:33,967 --> 00:40:36,069
- Wait, nobody got fired?
1046
00:40:36,136 --> 00:40:38,972
There must really be something
to this equanimity (bleep).
1047
00:40:42,276 --> 00:40:43,677
or somebody getting fired.
1048
00:40:47,514 --> 00:40:49,283
- I feel like you boys
have just been
1049
00:40:49,349 --> 00:40:51,084
doing way too
mother(bleep) much.
1050
00:40:51,151 --> 00:40:53,587
So we gonna have
a ladies night here.
1051
00:40:53,654 --> 00:40:55,656
No boys allowed.
- Cheers to that.
1052
00:40:55,722 --> 00:40:57,291
- We should cleanse
the shop real quick.
1053
00:40:57,357 --> 00:40:59,092
- Feel like I'm in
a coven right now.
1054
00:40:59,159 --> 00:41:00,327
(Spyder)
You know what, we should have
1055
00:41:00,394 --> 00:41:02,029
guys night out.
1056
00:41:02,095 --> 00:41:03,297
(stomach rumbling)
1057
00:41:03,363 --> 00:41:04,765
(Puma) Hey, yo, Rok,
you a'ight?
1058
00:41:04,831 --> 00:41:08,702
- What he's doing in there,
I don't know.
1059
00:41:08,769 --> 00:41:10,804
- Oh, Ma!
1060
00:41:10,871 --> 00:41:14,208
It feels so amazing
to see my mom in person.
1061
00:41:14,274 --> 00:41:16,877
I just hope Jay and my mom
will get along.
1062
00:41:19,980 --> 00:41:21,515
- I gotta go to
Atlanta real quick
1063
00:41:21,582 --> 00:41:24,051
'cause I gotta pick up
this movie that I did.
1064
00:41:24,117 --> 00:41:26,553
- A movie?
I told him to get
1065
00:41:26,620 --> 00:41:28,121
Black Ink Milwaukee open.
1066
00:41:28,188 --> 00:41:30,257
- Next week I'm doing
a premiere in the city.
1067
00:41:30,324 --> 00:41:32,860
I need y'all to be there.
1068
00:41:32,926 --> 00:41:35,295
(all exclaiming)
1069
00:41:35,362 --> 00:41:40,267
I've been waiting
for this moment.
1070
00:41:45,272 --> 00:41:48,842
