Make It or Break It (2009) s01e09 Episode Script

Previously on MAKE IT OR BREAK IT I've had three cortisone shots this year.
My mom won't let me have another one.
Look, I could score it for you.
Goodbye, Marty.
- Kaylie.
- You and Marty? You lost your virginity? With who? Just some guy I met.
I didn't know him.
I know you want to break me and Kaylie up, But it's not going to happen.
I'm trying to help you do the right thing, Carter.
Do you mind if I borrow your cell phone for a sec Yeah.
Sure, it's on my dresser.
- What is this? - Mr.
Cruz You stay the hell out of this.
All she wants is to please you.
- Hey, listen.
- Don't push me.
You get the hell out of my house.
Carter, I love you.
You're a liar.
I will never be with you.
Who did you borrow a few thousand dollars from? - Joe.
- We moved from Fresno - To get away from Joe.
- He's not coming back.
He just wired us the money.
Joe.
Where are you? What time is it? Six.
Thank God.
I was having a dream that we overslept And Sasha kicked you out of the gym again.
Sasha's the least of our worries.
I just remembered another part of my dream.
Oh, sorry How did you sleep? Not so good with you trying to spoon me all night.
You used to want to sleep with me all the time.
When I was six.
I seem to recall that you slept with me Until you were at least ten.
Oh, no.
You were with Joe when I was ten.
And then he left when I was 11.
Then you took him back when I was 12 And then he left again.
And then you took him back again.
We had to leave the city to get away from him.
And now He's in the living room sleeping in my bed.
He's just passing through on his way to Dallas, honey.
Good morning.
We've got eggs and bacon and pancakes.
The cupboards were a little spare So I went out and did some grocery shopping this morning.
And for our world class gymnast, I've got an egg white omelet With spinach, tomato and fresh fruit.
Traitor.
Hey, I was hungry.
Half-caf, with just a touch of cinnamon, One sugar and just a drop of cream.
You remembered.
I haven't forgotten a thing.
Neither have we.
What time are you leaving? Dallas is pretty far away.
You should get on the road.
Emily, don't be rude.
No It's OK.
She's under a lot of pressure.
She's going to Nationals.
I always knew you were a superstar.
Is that why you never came to any of my meets? - Emily.
- Well, it's true.
Know what? You all can play nice but I'm out of here.
Oh, thanks for the loan, Joe.
We'll pay you back every cent.
I don't want to owe you a thing.
I thought for sure after last night Your dad would have you in a chastity belt.
Practically.
He took away my phone, my computer And made my mom drive me to practice.
He just wants you to focus for Nationals.
How can I focus when I can't even talk to Carter? So you haven't spoken to him since last night at the party? - No.
- Know what you guys? Nationals are three days away.
I don't have time for drama.
Is that your stump speech for Team Captain? Because it's just so full of support, Payson.
Thank you.
I'm supposed to support your gymnastics.
Not your running around breaking the rules.
That's easy for you to say seeing as though you've never Broken a rule in your life.
By the way How's the back? My back's awesome.
Thanks for asking.
So, how did your night turn out? It sucked.
They won't let her talk to Carter.
But, at least I can still see him.
If he'd get here already.
Excuse me.
Hey.
So, how's Kaylie this morning? Miserable.
And angry.
And, of course, she hates us.
Of course.
Yeah, but she's 16, and her heart is breaking.
I don't understand Why the girls aren't allowed to have boyfriends anyway? Well, I think the idea is to prevent this kind of drama.
But between you and me, I don't know if this no dating rule hurts or helps.
You're lucky Payson's so focused.
That has issues of its own.
Not the kind That comes with your husband getting punched By a teenage boy in your living room.
Thank you for not telling Sasha what happened last night.
What he doesn't know What do you think he'd do if he did? I don't know.
It has come to my attention That you have had an inappropriate relationship With one of my gymnasts.
My source didn't reveal the name of the girl, So I'm going to ask you.
Who is she? I've recently been informed That the no dating rule has been broken By two of your teammates.
My source refused to name the girl involved.
But just in case you were wondering How seriously I take these rules The boy involved, Carter Anderson, Is now suspended from The Rock And he won't be going to Nationals.
That's all.
What? This is so unfair.
He can't suspended Carter three days before Nationals.
At least Carter didn't out you too.
- Maybe it's better this way.
- How is it better? I'm not letting him take all the blame.
No way.
Ladies? Can you gather round? Don't be a martyr.
He can sit out this year.
- He's only 18.
- She's right.
Men don't even peak until their 20s.
He's got the next two quadrenniums To make it to the Olympics.
We've only got 0-12.
This is the team rankings by apparatus for Nationals.
You still need to choose your team captain.
We're knocking off early tomorrow Because I want you to get home, Get packed and get to bed early.
Ten hours every night minimum before competition.
- Is that clear? - Yes, sir.
Kaylie? Is there something you want to say? No.
Sir.
All right then.
What? Nothing.
You obviously have something to say so Was it really necessary to kick Carter out of the gym? The girls need to be protected.
With all due respect, They are young women.
You are always telling me That I have to come to terms with the fact that My daughter is not a normal teenager.
And that she has a career Well, how can we give them responsibility For something as huge As a professional athletic career, And not give them responsibility for basic Decisions about their life? Excuse me, Coach Belov.
Why is Lauren ranked first on beam? Because with her added degree of difficulty, She's as good as you now.
But not better.
You said I was going first for everything.
Payson, the goal at Nationals Isn't just to win individual medals.
It's for as many of your teammates As possible to make the National Team.
If the top ranking on beam helps Lauren get there, You need to be supportive.
I'm incredibly supportive.
When you feel secure at the top.
It's easy to be gracious When you think no one can touch you.
You know, I assumed You were gonna be Team Captain this year.
But maybe you're not up to the job? What now? I thought your title was coach, not God.
Guess what? Sasha just ranked Lauren first on the beam.
Isn't that great? Did my daughter just smile and wave to you? Did the seas part while I was gone? It wasn't quite that miraculous.
But I think Lauren's finally got that I'm on her side.
What did you do to convince her? I told her That I wasn't going to marry you.
You were, bluffing, right? No.
I can't marry you Steve if it just Reinforces Lauren's fear of abandonment.
I'm not going to abandon Lauren.
I'm not talking about you.
I'm talking about her mother.
She needs some closure.
Well, that's impossible.
Her mother's a drug addict and I have no idea where she is.
I do.
I did an internet search for Leslie Tanner It only took me about 20 minutes to find her.
So I'm guessing you never really looked.
Honey, I have my reasons For wanting her to stay away from Lauren, And frankly, it's none of your business.
Maybe you're right, but it is Lauren's.
And I think she has the right to know where her mother is.
You know where my mother is? I was listening to that.
Yeah, so were the Smitts Halfway down the street.
OK, you're angry.
- We get it.
- No, Mom, you don't get it.
And that's the problem.
I spoke with Carter today.
What? When? He was waiting for me outside the gym.
He wants to see you.
What did you say? That I would help you.
Thank you, mom.
Thank you.
Listen, I'm doing this because I do understand.
But after you see Carter You need to focus on Nationals.
- OK? - OK.
When can I see him? Tomorrow.
You can slip out of the gym on my watch.
But only for a few minutes.
If your father finds out he's gonna kill us both.
- OK? - OK.
Finish packing and get a good night's sleep.
OK.
Hey, Mom? Are you ever going to tell Dad about Marty? I, um I don't know.
Maybe it's better if he never knows.
I'll see you in the morning.
There she is.
So, I'm taking it she didn't exactly Warm to the idea of me staying another night? Yeah, I'm gonna talk to her.
At least you don't hate me.
That's because I don't expect anything from you.
So when you leave you never disappoint me.
But he's buying Brian a ticket to Nationals.
Oh, so if he buys his way back in, then it's OK? Honey, don't you want your brother to go? More than anything in the world.
There's nothing I wouldn't do To have Brian at Nationals, Except watch Joe suck you back in again So I have to pick you up off of the floor After he breaks your heart.
That's not going to happen, honey.
He hasn't changed.
But I have.
Whether you want to see that or not, I think I deserve a little more credit.
Your credit rating sucks.
I have to go to sleep.
We leave for Nationals the day after tomorrow.
He's gonna leave tomorrow, sweetie.
I promise.
Please don't spoon me tonight.
Come in.
How are you doing? Fine.
Look I've known where your mom was for a while.
But I was afraid That if we let her back into our lives she'd just Disappoint you again like she did so many times When you were a little girl.
- I'm not a little girl anymore.
- Yeah, well Even when you're 40 you'll still be my little girl.
I'll be old is what I'll be.
Hey, 40 is not old.
Anyway Summer seems to think that you're old enough to decide If you want to give your mom another chance.
So That's your mother's phone number.
I'll never abandon you, Lauren.
Even if I do marry Summer you'll always Come first in my heart.
I hope you know that.
Mom? It's me, Lauren.
You want to talk about it? No.
Guess what? My mom's coming to Nationals.
I thought your mom was doing relief work in Darfur? She's back and she's flying into Denver this afternoon.
I'm picking her up from the bus station.
- That's great Lauren.
- I know.
She hasn't seen me compete since I was eight years old.
- She's going to be really proud of you.
- I know.
Especially now that I'm ranked number one on beam.
I should get back to work.
You know, it's weird we've been friends all these years And I've never met your mother.
Well, you will now.
You sure you don't want to talk about it? Positive.
Nice.
How'd that feel? Why did you let Sasha kick you out of The Rock? I didn't have a choice.
You could have told him about me.
So we could both get suspended? He's not going to suspend one of his Top four gymnasts before Nationals.
Yeah, well, you don't know that.
Yeah, well, if you're not going to Nationals neither am I.
What about your gymnastics? I don't care about gymnastics.
Baby.
I just want to be with you.
You're the only person in the world I can believe in.
Just hold me and never let me go.
Listen to me.
Let's run away.
Right now.
- I can't let you do this.
- I want to do this.
Look.
You can believe in me.
You can.
But I made a mistake.
- I don't care.
- Listen to me.
It was after we fought at the kegger.
We said we were gonna play it cool.
Which Doesn't make it OK.
What did you do? I had sex with someone else.
I'm so sorry.
Don't! What are you doing home? Sasha let us go early.
Why aren't you at work? I, I was, But I didn't have any clients this afternoon Where's Joe? Joe? Oh, my God.
Is he in there? Did you sleep with him? Emily, I didn't know that you were coming home.
I'm sorry.
You're sorry you got caught.
Don't talk to her like that.
Stay out of this! You're not my father and you're not her husband.
You have no authority here.
Listen, Emily.
I love your mother.
That is the biggest joke I've ever heard.
If you love my mother Then how come you left her so many times? It's complicated.
It's simple.
You are a loser.
And she's too weak to kick you out on your ass.
- Emily- No.
You can screw up your life all you want, But you're done screwing up mine.
- Emily? - Just let her go.
She'll cool off.
She's wrong.
I know.
No, not about you.
About me.
I've changed.
So have I.
Chloe.
When you called the other day To ask me to help you, It didn't scare me or freak me out.
It made me happy.
I want to take care of you.
And for the first time in my life I know that I can.
I want to believe you.
Don't you love me, Chloe? I do, but I love them more.
Please, just go to Dallas And let me be the mother they need me to be.
The mother that I need to be.
Please? - Hey, Mrs.
Keeler.
- Don't you look cute.
- Thanks.
- Come on in.
- Is Payson here? - They're in the kitchen.
Hey, I thought you went To the bus station to pick up your mom? She couldn't make it.
She got sent back to Darfur.
- Oh, I'm sorry, sweetie.
- It's cool.
Her work's important.
So, what are you doing here? Emily's spending the night.
Uh, Lauren, have you heard from Kaylie? No, why? She snuck out of the gym to go see Carter And I guess they had a fight Cause now no one can find her.
So do we know what they fought about? - Nope.
And I don't care.
- Payson.
It's selfish of her to freak everybody out The night before we leave for Nationals.
Over some stupid fight she had with a boyfriend She's not allowed to have.
The point is, She is missing and everyone is worried.
If you guys have any idea where she might be, It's up to you as her friends And her teammates to make sure She's on that bus tomorrow.
I have to pick up Becca.
Lauren you're welcome to join us all For dinner tonight.
- Thanks, Mrs.
Keeler.
- Sure, honey.
- Bye girls.
- Bye.
Kaylie ran away.
- What? - Listen to this.
Hey, Lo It's me.
I'm, um It doesn't matter where I am.
Look, I don't know what I'm doing, but I'm not going to Nationals.
And they're off! Tell everyone not to worry about me.
Has she lost her mind? It sounded like she was calling from a payphone.
Her dad took away her cell.
What was that noise in the background? Let me listen to it again.
If you were Kaylie and you were upset, Where would you go? Other than Carter's truck? And they're off! It sounds like she's at the horse races.
I doubt she'd be at a track.
Is there anywhere that makes her feel happy or safe? She loves the mall.
And they're off! - Gymnastics camp.
- What? Remember that general store in Winter town? We'd go and stash up on magazines and candy Before we went to camp? That guy would always be listening to the races on TV.
She went to camp.
Let's go get her.
Get out of here.
It's three hours away.
And Sasha said we need to get ten hours of sleep.
So you're going to let her Not go to Nationals because of Some fight she had with Carter? Exactly.
She's being ridiculous.
And if she wants to ruin her career let her.
Fine.
Get your beauty sleep.
Are you in? We can't let Kaylie miss Nationals.
There's her car.
See? Aren't you glad you came? Yeah, three hours in the back of a car Is great for my back.
I thought you said your back was fine? Let's just get Kaylie and go home.
We might still be able to make eight hours of sleep.
Hi, Mrs.
Cruz? It's Lauren.
We found Kaylie at gymnastics camp.
- OK, I will.
- OK, so We found her car but where is she? I know where.
- You want to talk about it? - No.
We just drove three hours to come get you, You'd better talk about it.
Hey, give her a break.
Carter told me he had sex with someone else.
Did he say who? I didn't ask, but He said it was after we fought at the kegger so I'm guessing it was with some slut at the party.
Was everyone having sex at that kegger? You saw Carter at the party after we left.
Was he with someone? Oh, my God.
It was you.
The guy at the party you lost your virginity to? It was Carter? I'm sorry.
I was drinking and it was my birthday and I was upset So you slept with my boyfriend? You kept telling everyone he wasn't your boyfriend.
You knew he was.
I can't believe you.
How can you act like You're my best friend? - I am your best friend.
- No! You are a two-faced slut.
I can't even look at you.
Hey, wait! Wait! - Where do you think are you going? - Anywhere but here.
No.
No more running away.
- Give me my keys.
- I'm not chasing you any more.
We leave for Nationals in the morning We all need to get home and get some sleep.
You think I'm gonna go to Nationals with her? Fine.
If you want to blow your career over some boy, - Go ahead.
- OK.
Wait! Like it or not, we are in this together.
And you are not gonna screw me out of The only team I've ever been a part of.
We're all screwed if we don't go home.
So just give Kaylie her keys and let's go.
I want my keys, Emily.
You want your keys? What the hell is wrong with you? - We still have Lauren's car.
- Come on.
No.
If we're not leaving here As a team we're not leaving here at all.
Are you both crazy? You just stranded us in the middle of nowhere.
You guys have been training together for ten years.
Are you really gonna just throw this all away? When we've come so close? She threw it all away when she slept with my boyfriend.
Payson, do have your phone? I left it at home.
Lauren? No.
My battery's dead.
Great.
What are we going to do? Look for our keys.
We can stay here all night, But if you think I'm ever gonna forgive you You really are crazy.
Thanks.
I'm not on your side.
You betrayed your best friend.
I've fought too hard to get to this place, And I'm not walking into Nationals Without the three best gymnasts at The Rock.
Oh, hey! Come on in.
OK, we're all here.
- Has Lauren called again? - No.
Her phone's going straight to voice mail, But last time she called she did say That her battery was about to die.
When I told them to go Find Kaylie if they knew where she was, I had no idea she was three hours away.
Don't worry.
They'll be home soon.
This is all my fault.
I never should have let Kaylie Sneak out of the gym to go see Carter.
You knew what she was doing? I set it up.
I thought it would help her focus If she could say goodbye to him before Nationals.
I didn't know they'd get in a fight and she'd run away.
I think it was wrong of Sasha To kick Carter out of the gym in the first place.
Wait.
Sasha kicked him out? Suspended.
But now he can't go to Nationals.
I wonder who would tell Sasha That Carter was dating one of the girls? I did.
I didn't say who.
Do you really think that's any of your business, Summer? Kaylie's my daughter.
Your daughter wasn't the only one Carter's been involved with.
I think it's going to be a long night.
I'm starving.
I think I have an energy bar.
We can all split it.
We could all be eating dinner if you hadn't Thrown our keys and stranded us here.
We wouldn't even be out here In the first place if you hadn't run away from home.
No one asked you to come find me.
Believe me, I wish I hadn't.
I don't want anything that came from her skanky bag.
My bag's a whore.
Fine, I'll eat yours.
- Thanks for sharing, Payson.
- What? Am I supposed to split her forth into threes? You could at least have given it to someone else.
I mean, if you're supposed to be Team Captain You might want to think of somebody besides yourself.
Like you thought about your best friend Before you slept with Carter? We weren't best friends at the time.
And if you would've been honest about seeing Carter This never would have happened.
Is that how you're going to justify what you did? - By blaming me? - Of course not.
Because Kaylie Cruz can lie And break the rules and stab Her best friend in the back and it's all OK.
What are you talking about? You knew I had a crush on Carter since I was 13 years old.
He kissed me right here at camp.
But you weren't thinking about My feelings when you went after him, huh? - I thought you were over it.
- Did you? Or is that the reason you kept it a secret to start with? Because you knew how much I liked him? OK, let's not forget it's her fault that we lost Marty.
It was Marty's choice to go to Denver.
No it wasn't.
He only went because Your father was blackmailing him.
- That's ridiculous.
- No, it isn't.
I never believed Marty would walk out on us.
Kaylie, what do you know? Why would my dad blackmail Marty? Because Marty was sleeping with my mom.
I'm sorry I even said anything to Sasha.
I didn't know it would have a snowball effect.
Well if Alex finds out that Carter's cheating on Kaylie He will go ballistic.
- What? - What? Nothing.
- What? - Well, nothing.
It's just that there's a lot that Alex is in the dark about.
Enough, already.
It's been a rough week and a long day and I'm over it.
OK? What is it you think you know? What do you mean? You're always making little comments.
OK? If you have something to say just say it.
Well, it's not something you want the world to know, is it? What? That I had an affair with Marty? There.
Now I don't have to suffer your little innuendos anymore.
You do know what "innuendo" means, don't you? Now if only I didn't have to suffer your Constant insults we'd be even.
Thanks, Chloe.
You had an affair with Marty? Is that why he went to Denver? I'm a terrible person.
I admit it.
And the worst part about it is that Kaylie knows.
I'm not proud of it.
We've all done things we're not proud of At least I have.
No.
We all have.
We're not judging you.
Well, maybe you should.
Cause I'm judging myself.
You also need to forgive yourself.
But I've hurt my husband, and I've hurt my children.
How do you ever forgive yourself for that? You can do what I do.
Ask God to help you.
That's really messed up, Kaylie.
You have no idea.
I'm ashamed of my own mom.
If it's any consolation My mom's a drug addict.
I thought your mother was a relief worker? That's just what we started telling people To explain why she was always out of town.
The truth is, she was in and out of half a dozen rehabs.
Just kind of became our dirty little family secret.
One day she just dropped out, hit rock bottom.
She never came home.
Didn't you just speak with your mom? I did.
She said she's been two years sober, How sorry she was, and How she couldn't wait to come and see me at Nationals.
When I went to the bus station, she wasn't there.
You're lucky, Pay.
Your mom She's such a mom.
I feel like you could tell her anything and she'd understand.
I can't tell her I bought cortisone illegally.
What? My parents don't want me to take anymore, but I don't think I can make it through Nationals without it.
Where did you get it? It's from a doctor.
- Indirectly.
- You need to rest your back, Pay.
I will after Nationals, but If I don't make the National Team this year I can kiss 0-12 goodbye.
I can't just give up my dream of going to the Olympics.
It's It's everything I've ever wanted.
It's my entire life.
It's everything I am.
I know what she means.
When Sasha told me I couldn't go to Nationals, I thought I would just Crumble into nothing.
Yesterday he told me I wasn't being gracious.
That I'm not acting like a team captain.
He's right.
I'm freaked out because I'm scared.
You? Scared? Terrified.
I mean, you guys all know How much we need each other to go out there And do what we do.
But You're all wrapped up in boys and drama and I don't feel like I have you guys anymore.
I'm sorry, Pay.
I'm just going through a lot right now.
Me too.
We've all been going through a lot.
But Payson's right.
I mean, Are you gonna let some boy Or family drama blow everything You've worked for your whole lives? What if we were a football team, Would any guy ever do that? It's just We aren't like normal girls, you guys.
We can't just stop talking to each other And change lockers or cliques every other week.
We are so much more than just friends.
We're a team.
And I'm really sorry I've been such a bitch lately, but I really need you guys.
You can count on me.
Thanks, Emily.
And me.
And me.
Hey, do you guys remember when we carved our initials Into one of these tree stumps? Has to be around here somewhere, right? Oh! Here it is.
Can you still see our names? Oh, totally.
And O-12.
Remember when you made us pledge To the almighty Goddess of Gymnastics That we would all go to the 0-12 Olympics together.
As the mighty triad.
Anyone have a knife or something sharp? I thought we were good? I think Emily needs to carve her name into our stump.
I think that's a good idea.
The mighty quadruplets.
Well We could always use These.
- Are those my keys? - Come on.
I'm not stupid.
I threw my house keys into the woods.
Oh, and actually, I just remembered.
I have a hide-a-key under the bumper.
- OK.
You better start carving.
- Before we kill both of you.
Look, I'll be your teammate.
But I will never be your friend again.
Where are they? They called from Winter town Five hours ago.
Yes, but they said they were gonna stop and eat.
Don't you think it's a bit of a coincidence they both Lost their keys in the woods? And they both found their keys in the woods? What do you think Sasha would say if he knew? - Knew what? - Just How excited the girls are to be going to Nationals.
Speaking of the girls, where are they? Ah, there they are.
Well, you look ready for Nationals.
We are.
And regarding Team Captain? I would like to nominate Emily Kmetko.
You want the newest girl on the team to be Captain? - That's the point.
- I second that.
Here, here.
Uh, OK.
Great.
Now, can we please get this show on the road? Can you believe my Emily's going to be Team Captain? Get over here!
