The Last Shot (2017): Season 1, Episode 1 - Bienvenidos a Mexico - full transcript

Khalil: Usually when you
hear people talk about

being paid for basketball,
first thing you think is NBA.

But we're here in Mexico...

playing in tournaments
for money.

César: Americans don't
really know what they're in for.

This is mercenary basketball.

Man: I don't want to really say
where the money comes from.

I don't want nobody
looking for me or whatever,

but you almost can put it
together where it come from,

'cause it's a hell
of a lot of money.

César: Corruption is involved.

♪ I'm not to be... with

And it could be narcos, cartel.



- So, you got to deal with it...
- Y'all call this

a fucking game, man?
- ...and play through it.

It doesn't matter how you win,
it's all about the money.

But I came here to pursue
my dreams of becoming

a professional
basketball player.

César: Here in Mexico,
we love basketball.

There's actually
a pro basketball league.

It's called the LNBP --

Liga Nacional
de Baloncesto Profesional.

Announcer: Guevara with
the shot -- 3. Oh, baby!

That is just exactly what
they need to go all the way!

Unbelievable.

But there's, like, a small
world, underground world,

of tournaments
all over the country.

They're not pro players.

They're just, you know,
playing for the prize money.

But there's some recruiters
from the pro basketball league,

so Americans come to play
in the tournaments

'cause they know they have
a really good chance to go pro.

I'm a sponsor.

I'm originally from here.

I just love basketball, and, uh,

I got involved
with American players.

I don't know them,
so I'm gonna take the chance,

but it's a different world, man.

♪♪

♪♪

My name is Tim Latiker.

I'm from Durant, Mississippi.

I'm about to pick up
a couple of players

I invited out here
to compete in some tournaments.

I'm responsible for
the transportation,

the food, the hotel,
and location that we go,

because I know the ropes,
because I've been through it.

Playing professionally,
you know, that's --

that's the main goal
for these newbies

that's coming here, man.

Oh, okay.

I had a pretty good
high-school career, man.

I got a couple scholarships
and stuff like that,

but I blew my knee out,

and my option was I could rehab,

but I'm continuing to have
problems with it,

or give up basketball.

And, of course, I'm not
gonna say no to basketball.

Then I found out they have these
tournaments in Mexico for cash.

So I've been playing
here for about...

11 years off and on,
you know, but...

These new guys might think
they gonna walk right in

and just win games easy.

"Oh, we Americans," you know?

"Who's better than Americans,"
you know?

So it's a lot of pressure

because I do have
a reputation online.

If they don't play well, they're
gonna contact someone else

to put a team together.

Just hope for the best.

- So, what you with y'all, man?
- What's up, Tim?

- Khalil, right?
- What's up?

- What's up, man?
- How you doing?

Nice to meet you, dog.
You ready?

I got a lot of pressure.
I ain't gonna lie.

You know what I'm saying?
So they'll be some pro players

playing in these tournaments.
- Oh, yeah.

- Yeah, invite, so...
- Oh, yeah, I already know.

...they -- they gonna
know y'all new,

you know what I'm saying?
So they're gonna

come at your knee, and they
going physical everything, man,

and I got pressure on 'em
because I hyped it up to the guy

that actually put us
in the tournament.

Man, I got to impress him.
You know what I'm saying?

And so it's some -- it's some --
it's some pressure on me.

It's some pressure on me.

Khalil: I'm from New York City.

I'm from Queens.

I made a name in college,
and everybody,

you know, figured like,
"Oh, Khalil's gonna be a pro.

Yeah, yeah.
You a pro prospect."

But I was living reckless,
going to parties.

My mind was all over.

I was just living foolishly,
but here goes my second chance.

I really want a contract.

Right now I have the opportunity
to make something of myself.

That's what I'm gonna do.

Tim: We missing one, man.
Xay.

Y'all know he missed
the flight, right?

Yeah. Well, we gonna go to
the bus station right now.

We going there,
you know what I'm saying?

And we'll wait for him, and we
tell him how to get there,

and then when he get there, man,

you're gonna try and look out
for him, you know?

Yeah.

♪♪

Come on, man.
I'm gonna rough you up. Ohh.

I'm gonna rough you up.
Ohh!

♪♪

Make it.

Unh! Let's go. Good shot.
Let's go.

Good shot, man.
Give me five.

You got to get some rhythm, son.

Right now I'm just preparing,
getting ready to catch

this flight, man,
make it over there to Mexico.

I'm going down there
to play tournament ball.

I'm not going down there to play
in a league or anything.

You play ball, you win
a tournament, you get paid.

You got first, second,
and third place.

I wish I could have
went to the NBA,

but because of the decisions
I've made upon myself,

you know, I hindered myself.

I got a lot of recognition
from high school.

"Mr. Basketball,"
number one in the state,

uh, Dandy's Dozen,
McDonald All-American nominee,

Reebok All-American.

I didn't make the GPA I needed,
so I had to go DII,

and I got into all, you know,
little bullshit troubles,

team fights, getting in trouble
and shit at school.

I left there, and, uh,
now I got to do this,

go back-and-forth
and play in tournaments,

you know, just try to provide
for my family, you know?

Uh, I could always get a job
somewhere over here,

but it wouldn't be the same.
You know, I hate settling.

There's all type of
regular motherfuckers,

but I'm extraordinary, God damn.

[ Fireworks whistling,

There you go! I knew --

I better get my money worth.

♪♪

Just a little something. It
ain't nothing major, you know?

I try.
I got to say, man, I just --

I just work hard so I can see
everybody else happy.

You know, I want to be happy,
too, but, you see.

I got a lot riding on this.
I got three kids.

Well, I'm leaving
behind my family.

Best-case scenario,
should I come back

with at least
three wrecks, $3,000.

different world.

These tournaments,
there's a lot of shit talking,
