![]() ![]() So what happens to the necklace after that? Ultimately it becomes part of the first gamble placed on the opal-enhanced Kevin Garnett… but then Arno has his men cancel the play and take the money as fraction of what the loan shark is owed. Seconds later that same piece is in Howard’s hands as he walks into a pawn shop, and then moments after he gets a wad of cash he is at his bookie’s restaurant placing a bet. Julia tells him about her time photographing The Weeknd, showing Howard shots of the singer showing off his jewelry – including a diamond-encrusted Michael Jackson crucifix necklace. One of the first ridiculous moves we see Howard make in Uncut Gems unfolds shortly after the character is introduced, coming home to Julia and another woman lounging in the bed of his Manhattan apartment. ![]() What happened to The Weeknd’s Michael Jackson crucifix necklace? But will she actually shed a tear when she learns that he is gone? Or will it simply be a case of her recognizing the “reap what you sow” situation for what it is? It’s a subject left open for debate, especially because of Dinah’s repeatedly demonstrated fierce demeanor. Fearful for his life, she discusses possibly calling the police, fearing that he might be in danger. At the same time, given their tenured relationship one has to wonder how she will react when she learns of her husband’s murder.ĭinah’s final scene in Uncut Gems featured her with her extended family exhibiting her remaining feelings for Howard by openly talking about the incident when she had to free him from the car trunk during the school play. At the Passover Seder she fully rejects his offer to reconcile, and it seems to be the final nail in the coffin of their partnership. She knows he is ridiculously irresponsible with money, and sleeps with other women, and it seems that the only reason they remain a couple is because they have children together. If one thing is made overwhelmingly clear over the course of Uncut Gems, it’s that Idina Menzel’s Dinah is totally sick of Howard’s shit. How will Dinah react when she learns of Howard’s death? The conversation changes if Howard has a key on him that opens the doors, but even if that’s the answer to the proposed question here the film doesn’t provide us with enough evidence to let us know that’s definitively the case. While it’s true that we don’t know a great deal about their relationship beyond what’s shown in Uncut Gems, it’s pretty hard to imagine either guy sacrificing their freedom for the other. This means that the only way for Phil or Nico to leave would be if one of them agreed to stay behind in the store. The only way to get out of KMH is if a person behind the counter presses a button twice – once to open the first door, and then again to open the second door when the first door is closed. The only reason this is an issue is because of the aforementioned sallyport. What’s unclear, though, is if they actually manage to leave the establishment as free men. The surviving gangsters then start to rob the place, smashing display cases and filling bags with jewelry. ![]() When Howard lets Phil, Arno, and Nico out of the sallyport and in to KMH following the game, there is a brief moment when it seems that everything is going to work out – but then Phil puts a bullet in Howard’s face, shortly thereafter killing Arno as well. The way things wind up playing out with the NBA game and Kevin Garnett, Uncut Gems could have had an honest happy ending, but Phil’s temper ultimately forbids that from happening. ![]()
