Knox posting up with a mismatch on Rozier.
Knox turns, backs him up,
puts up a 10-foot floater.
Rejected by Horford.
Rebound goes to DeAndre Jordan
and back out to Dennis Smith, Jr.,
who will start over.
Now Smith penetrates.
Spins and loses it out of bounds
after passing it directly to the Celtics' bench.
Another Knick turnover.
Hayward inbounds and Rozier will bring it up.
Boston with a 21-point lead three minutes from the half,
and the Knicks now deep in the hole.
Rozier to Jaylen Brown, baseline for three.
Yes! And the Knicks down 24.
And here come the boos from the crowd here
in Madison Square Garden.
Zama, you're late.
- Where were you? - Fati's house.
Mm, we called Fati, we know you weren't there.
I...
Whatever, you know what? I was dancing.
You don't have to be so strict.
No, this is hardly strict.
- Yeah, it is. - No, it isn't!
Look at you.
Every day it's something different.
We're just... we're worried.
Is it so bad that we want to know
that you're safe?
This is a big city.
Yeah, I know, I grew up here.
Hey.
You tone it down.
No.
Zama, you have every right to be sad still.
- You just can't... - Can't what?
- You cannot treat
your uncle and I like this.
Then leave me alone.
This isn't just about you.
I hate you.
Don't say that.
I hate you.
...it would be okay, but, you know,
what would be better if, like, we had a plan.
- On the boardwalk. - Huh?
We'll sleep under the boardwalk.
Oh no.
Hm.
What are you saving this crap for?
It's a stack of filthy magazines.
Rare Parts is not filth.
It's political commentary.
We gotta start fresh.
Getting kicked out of your house
is not a fresh start, it's a death sentence.
Son of a bitch.
Oh, now you're swearing.
What's with the swearing?
I swear because I'm angry, okay?
I don't want to leave this place.
I know, Benji.
I want that man dead.
Kicking us out of our home
to build a parking lot?
I used to think there's two people that were evil.
Hitler and that bully that beat up on Saul
- in P.S. 205... - Rick?
- Yeah. - Yeah.
Hey, what you doin', Saul?
Nothin'.
Who was that girl I saw you with the other night?
Hm?
Oh, wait, wait, my bad.
That was somebody else.
Hey, come to think about it.
I don't think I've ever seen you with a girl.
Why is that?
I don't know.
I mean, why haven't I seen you
with a girl, guy, anybody, huh?
...will step to the line averaging 71% from the stripe.
He makes the first.
His 13 rebounds are a testimony of that,
as he makes the second, and the Knicks will inbound.
Smith motions for a screen,
changes his mind and lays it off to Dotson
who's guarded closely by Simmons.
Dotson looking for Jordan inside. Delivers.
Jordan now turns on Embiid, drives.
Rejected!
The ball winding up
five rows past a bewildered Knicks bench.
Embiid lowering the boom
on top of the New York gloom.
Stop with this or I'll have to call the police.
No, you won't.
What do you want?
Uh, you know.
Talk to him.
He's gone out for the night.
He's gonna pay.
What?
You know that, right?
Stop calling here.
You're all gonna pay.
Thank you very much.
Sure.
As someone who's been fortunate enough
to partner with him on a number of projects,
and to those of you about to dip your toes
in the water on this one, a toast.
So...
What do you say to a man who has made you rich?
Let me amend that question.
What do you say a man who's made you filthy rich?
And, gentlemen, I'm not talking about
a slip at the Orient Point Yacht Club rich.
I'm not talking about sending your three daughters
to Spence rich.
I'm not even talking about paying cash
for your Aspen house rich.
No.
I'm talking about something different.
I'm talking about something more.
I'm talking about
arranging the skyline in your image rich.
I'm talking about stamping your name
on the public's forehead rich.
And like his father before him,
I'm talking about legend rich.
Sultan rich.
King rich.
So...
What do you say to him?
I'll tell you what you say.
You get down on one knee and you raise your glass.
To you, sir...
...I say thank you.
Thank you.
Go home, Saul.
I told you, no double shift tonight.
You got your money, right?
Go spend it on a lady.
Buy some weed.
Do whatever it is you do.
Yo, I fuckin' see you.
Thank you.
It's all good, Danny.
Thank you.
Do you live with your parents?
No, my uncle and aunt.
You like them?
What happened to your parents?
Do you live with your parents?
No, grandparents.
What's with the mask?
I don't know.
Maybe I'm like a superhero or somethin'.
Yeah?
Maybe.
I don't know.
Thank you.
You know her?
No, just checking out her gear.
There's a chocolate glaze in there somewhere.
- You want it? - Mm-mm.
That's my uncle.
He a bad guy?
Now, he doesn't...
I thought, you know...
Saw you, and I thought he'd...
With the... he doesn't really have any of... the stuff.
Do you always...
Do you always wear the...
So what? It's what I want to wear.
Huh.
You gonna go home?
- I don't really want to deal. - Deal with what?
Then what, you know, you wanna hang out more?
Yeah.
Do you wanna take a walk?
Walk?
Do you like to?
Like to walk?
Yeah.
Sure.
Wanna get a slice?
Somebody will use 'em.
Good?
- Can you do a 360? - What?
Like a, you know, a full spin.
Yeah, probably.
You wanna show me? Come on.
Almost.
- It was really good though. - You're turn.
I can't do it.
- What? - No, I can't do it.
Hey!
- Thank you. - No more thankin' me, okay?
Okay.
It's not funny.
Sorry.
This thing is getting gross.
You all right?
Is he breathing?
- What? - Booze.
He's just... he's drunk.
Do you drink?
Not really. You?
No.
Should we call 9-1-1?
We just let him sleep it off.
What are you doing?
Turn it off.
- Hmm? - Turn it off.
Wanna go for a drive?
What?
I don't know how to drive.
I'm starving.
It smells.
- Salam. - Salam.
Can I help you?
Yeah, um,
I'm looking for a new niqab,
or maybe something a little less...
A little less?
Ah, a little less.
It's okay, sweetie, I'm from Staten Island.
Let's get you out of these and get into something new.
But I don't have niqabs.
I have saris, abayas, kurtas,
and so many colors.
You would look really nice in a bright color.
How about... red?
Hi.
How are ya?
You're a happy guy. You wanna try on a mask?
- Yes. - Yeah?
Want me to put it on you?
Yeah?
Can you see all right?
Put it up a little for you.
There you go.
It looks great.
Head is huge.
We'll take it off.
Do you like?
It looks really... good, you know?
Thanks.
Guy kneeling back there.
Praying.
Do you pray?
Do you?
No.
Not really.
Do you have a problem?
No.
It's just you remind me of my youngest daughter.
And how much I miss her.
Davis fakes left, spins, fadeaway.
Oh, what a light touch by Anthony Davis
as he drains yet another jumper.
Nothing but net.
So here come the Knicks down by 16,
searching for answers in the desert, and...
Hey.
Look, just get the team away from the Dolans
and just build 'em back up from scratch.
Listen, nobody would disagree with you in theory
that the Dolan family has done this historic franchise
a disservice with their particular management style.
But here's a small fact, they own the team.
Yeah, well, so do the... what's his name...
the Clippers owner, but DeSilver stepped in.
- He did the right thing. - Very different circumstances.
- So what? - So you're saying
the NBA should take legal action.
Go to court to repossess the Knicks from Dolan because...
- 'Cause they suck! - I love it.
- Next caller. - Yeah.
Bring the paperwork.
Find your money, mayor?
- What the fuck? - Get the fuck out
of Coney Island, douchebag!
- Nobody wants you here! - Shit!
Fuck, Jesus fucking Christ.
Go!
I'm actually kinda hungry again.
Your appetite is insane, you know that?
You like pickles?
Can I get a small thing of butter?
- Siberian butter? - Okay.
- Thank you. - You're welcome
Thank you.
Wanna try a little pickled watermelon?
- Hmm. - Really good.
Mm, so sour.
Sour's good.
You know, I don't know 'em, but they're probably worried sick.
Probably.
Something bad happened.
What?
My dad died, like a year ago.
Thank you.
This looks bad.
You hardly look like a gangster.
That's because I'm not a gangster.
Nice dinner the other night.
You put on quite a show.
Well, that was my job, wasn't it?
They wire you the money?
You're welcome.
This is the part where you could say thank you.
You owed me.
And what's the deal with this Brooklyn development?
Everything looks good.
Well, that's not what I hear.
I hear you're behind.
What can I do to get you back in?
No, after the bath we took last time,
it's too much money.
It's just a bridge, less than $40 million.
No.
No way.
The bank's being watched much closer now.
I can talk to Bill.
Yeah, Bill.
Fucking useless.
- Then I can sweeten it a little. - No.
Three units just for you.
On a project downtown then.
What is next, box seats to Billy Joel at the Garden?
Jesus.
I'm getting out.
- The fuck? - Come on.
- We're just two guys talking. - Yeah?
'Cause I see one guy trying to get out of a car
and another guy leveraged to the hilt.
So's half the town, it's the way it works.
Just ask your dad for the money.
Fuck you!
I'm gonna get out of the car now.
The Bulls are out of time outs.
Twelve seconds remain in the fourth,
the Knicks clinging to a two-point lead,
103 to 101.
Knox with a career high, 26 points.
- Knicks have to stand tall... - Pull over.
- We need to focus. - So here we go.
Lopez in bounds to LaVine, guarded by Smith.
Top of the key, looking for Valentine.
LaVine cuts left, drives, six seconds.
Five, pulls up, finds Valentine in the corner.
Three, two, off balance jumper, it's good.
And the Bulls pull it out...
You know, you could always just root for the Nets.
You can't ever say that.
Don't ever say...
Don't every say that, okay?
The Nets are from New Jersey.
They... they're not from Brooklyn.
They might play in Brooklyn, have the word Brooklyn
on their jerseys, they're not from Brooklyn.
To me, they'll always be from New Jersey.
, Daniel Martin, born and bred in New Jersey.
They destroyed an entire neighborhood to build a stadium
that looks like a rusty metal basket.
They tore down all brownstones, a great bar.
They, they forced people to give up their homes
so the Nets could move from New Jersey
just to cont... cont... continue to suck.
No, okay, okay, you know, whatever.
Maybe they're good now and they got K-D bub,
but whatever, you know?
Will it last?
Come on, come on.
Knicks suck worse obviously, I mean, look at them.
Who even are they? Nobodies.
You know, you get Zion right there in the palm of your hand,
you can't, can't even make that work.
Ha, ha, useless!
Useless.
But I'm actually fine with them sucking.
You know?
It's, it's...
It's a part of what New York has always been,
good, bad, love, hate.
High, low, Empire State Building, Flatbush Avenue,
and, and, and no matter if they won or they lost,
you know, New York was the Knicks' town, their home.
They made sense together, which would somehow help
New York make any sense at all, when I don't know...
the F train breaks down, somebody steals your bike
or some, some, some monster tears down your house
to make way for a parking lot, you know?
You know, but now,
with all the money and all the bullshit luxury,
none of the old stuff makes sense anymore.
Knicks don't matter, the city doesn't care about them.
The, this city...
This city cares about money.
They don't even care about a loser.
But someone has to care so I've done it.
I've loved them for the millions of people
who don't care anymore, I've given them everything I've got.
I've died for 'em, I do it every time they play,
but it hasn't been enough.
So now, it's like I've finally realized
that maybe I have to do more, like maybe my entire life
has built up to this point
where it's time to do something, you know,
to really, really do something.
Do what?
Avenge them.
How'd he die?
Who?
Your father.
Was it from, like,
war, something?
No, nothing like that.
- Heart attack. - Oh.
Look, I figured... I don't know,
you know, I thought maybe he must've got killed
in a conflict or something.
No, he just died.
I'm really glad I found you.
Zama, this isn't right.
We know you're angry, but come home.
Zama, you have to.
You've been gone for days, we've been worried sick.
We almost called the police.
No, don't do that, don't call the police.
- What? - Not yet.
Zama, what do you mean?
Zama.
What?
Mister has been waiting for you.
Thank you, Rosa.
No, Rosa's gone, I'm Juanita.
- How long has it been? - Five years.
Still taking your meetings here I see.
So, how's things, Pop?
Ask Rosa, she does the dirty work.
I think her name's Juanita.
What do you want?
Did you see what I sent over?
I had someone look at it.
- Who? - Someone.
And?
I don't have time for this, I don't have time to come
all the way over to this shitty neighborhood.
- You never understood this city. - And I don't have time for you!
You got something to say about my proposal,
just say it so I can get back in my car.
- You mean my car? - No, my car!
Mine!
Sit down and stop acting like a child.
You know, Rosa's daughter gets on a bus every morning
from goddamn Rego Park to Coney Island.
Special school there named after Mark Twain.
I suppose it should be named after Bob Moses.
Rosa came back from a parent conference
and found this in a garbage can
in the parking lot there.
Yup, that's us.
It's a good project, it's big.
Calling it The Diamond Coast.
And that's just the start, six more buildings planned.
We're the first in.
- Bill's good with it. - Bill?
Abe, Ed, Dave,
Rudy, Mike.
Lists help me keep my marbles.
Now you have Bill, matters not to me.
Well, it's a good project.
She found it in the garbage.
We're papering the area, so what?
Garbage.
Wrong.
We're changing the skyline, just like you did in your day.
In my day, we, we built skyscrapers,
we built roads, neighborhoods, beaches.
We built a city.
We built an economy that benefitted the entire nation.
We made men rich, yes,
but we made all of society even richer.
Yeah, you really saved the world, didn't you?
Tell me, who's living in those projects
you've been developing?
No one.
Nobody lives there.
You sell them to foreigners who keep them empty.
It's not building.
It's money laundering.
What can I say, Pop?
That's the business.
Do you know why I still come here?
Because this is the first building I ever bought.
Look around you.
It's still here.
Still making sandwiches.
You're a real martyr, aren't you?
You're a real man of the people.
My whole life, you were building this,
this shining tower for the good of the world.
And I'm just...
just a cardboard box with all your shit in it.
No.
You are a cardboard box with all of my money in it.
I'll have them wire the money,
with new terms.
You can go.
Money,
money!
Money!
Woll drives, two on one,
lobs to Biel for the slam.
A beautiful pass by the Kentucky...
You know when you're like...
you know when you're working a job and you just...
every day is just like
same fucking shit, you know?
And it's just not how...
I don't, I don't know what I'm saying.
It's just not a... it's not...
Whatever.
You know what I'm talking about.
You get me, that's why I like you.
That's why I like you.
- Where am I? - Give me your phone.
- No. - I need to talk to your boss.
What? No.
- What are you doing? - No.
- Saul, stop! - Stop it!
- Get off of him! - How's that feel, huh?
Get off of me!
Get...
Saul, stop!
- Stay still! - Please, please stop.
- Please. - No!
Please stop, please stop, please stop, please stop.
- Stay still! - Please stop, please stop,
- please stop, please stop. - Get off of him!
Please, please, please, please.
Please stop, please stop, please.
Please, please, please.
I'm sorry.
I really don't know what to do.
- I don't know what to do. - Shh.
- Yeah? - Bill there?
Yeah, he's about to step into a pile of shit in the Bronx.
Cop got shot, we're almost there.
Put him on.
Jesus, you're some kind of prick.
Are you kidding?
One of my guys just got held up in Brooklyn.
It's gotta be connected to the threat on one of my buildings.
And?
And I think it could be serious.
They've been calling my office for months.
They showed up at that community board thing the other day
wearing a mask and some kind of burka.
Now they assault one of my team?
I swear, they come near me, I'm gonna kill 'em.
Don't say that on this line.
I'm just trying to warn you
about a legitimate terrorist threat.
You're talking about a prank where you got egg on your face.
This is funny to you.
After all that money I poured into your campaign?
Bill?
Come on.
Mm!
Judge, Your Honor, and to the jury,
I intend to prove beyond a shadow of doubt
that we are innocent,
and true love is not a crime.
Well, maybe she's not alone.
Whose shoes are those?
So we questioned him, took him downtown.
That's it.
That's all you know?
Listen, whatever it was, it's over.
You can go home.
What's this?
Garbage.
