Make It or Break It (2009) s01e19 Episode Script

On "make It Or Break It" - Go To China.
I walking with this China Are Come to here.
So To Rock.
Yes, I Walked Away Lked Away From A Lot Of Money To Do My Music My Way.
You're Not Supposed To Work, But You Have A Job.
You're Not Supposed To Have A Boyfriend, But Here We Are.
You Committed Adultery, And Now Our Whole Family Is Falling Apart.
We're Not Falling Apart.
Your Father Just Needs Some Time.
- Truce? - Truce.
this Is Payson's Physical Therapist.
I Haven't Heard From Payson and It's Been A Week Since I Gave Her The Go-ahead To Start Training Again.
Thanks.
China Was Hell.
I Have Never Come In Last On Beam.
Never.
You're Better Than That, Lo.
We All Know It.
It Was Brutal.
Not One Girl On The National Team Cheered For Me.
No One Roomed With Me.
I Was Totally Iced Out.
I Mean, No Excuses, But We Talk All The Time About How Important It Is To Have Your Team Around You, To Support You.
- It Is Important.
For Real.
- I Tried To Hold It Togethe To Focus, But I Choked.
You Know, It Was The First Major Meet I've Been To Without You Guys.
- Is That True? - Think About It.
Kay And I've Been On The Same Team Since We Were Eight, And Payson Moved To Boulder When We Were 12.
Remember Our First Meet? You Landed Your Tsukahara And Barfed All Over The Mat.
- Ok, I Was A Little Nervous.
But At Least I Didn't Lose On E-tenth Of A Point For Picking My Leo Out Of My Butt Crack While Doing My Beam Routine.
- I Can't Believe I Did That.
- All Right, Payson.
Give It Up.
- What's Your Most Embarrassing Moment? - There Isn't One.
I Was Perfect.
- - Right.
- Ok, Not Exactly Perfect.
Uh, Back In Minnesota, At My First Junior Meet, I Was So Nervous I Peed A Little In My Leo.
- - - I Thought The Team Would Never - Stop Calling Me Pee-son Keeler.
Awful! - You Know, We Moved Around So Much, I Don't Think Any Old Teammates Would Even Remember Me.
This Is Not A Pajama Party.
You Have Only Been On Lockdown For Six Days.
The Chinese Gymnasts Live Like This Every Single Day Of Their Regimented Little Lives.
They're Plucked From Their Homes, Sent Away, Locked In A Camp, They Live, Breathe, Eat And Sleep Gymnastics.
They Are Pushed Beyond All Rational Limits Until They Become Perfectly Calibrated Machines.
In Four Days, That Machine Will Arrive Here To Face You.
So Are You Gonna Gossip And Giggle? Or Do You Think Perhaps You Should Zip It Up And Try To Get Some Sleep? Silence.
Music To My Ears.
Thanks Again For Chaperoning This Week.
Whatever It Takes To Beat China.
Nice Pjs, By The Way.
Um Yeah.
Today's Calls.
Um Yeah.
The Sports Press Are Going Crazy, Everybody Wants Interviews.
But Most Of These Are From Ellen Beals At The National Gymnastics Committee.
"please Return.
" "urgent.
" "very, Very Urgent.
" "you Better 'blank Blank' Call Me.
" This Is A Club Meet, So It's None Of Her Concern.
- I'm Gonna Miss Waking Up To You.
- Cute.
We've Kept This Completely Professional For These Past Six Days.
And I Hardly Think This Is The Time To Let Our Guard Down, Especially With The Girls Sleeping Right Outside The Door.
Spoken Like A True Chaperone.
Sleep Well.
So You Were Dating The Nice Brunette One, And Then You Hooked Up With The Bossy Blonde One, But Now You're Back With The First One.
- Yeah.
- Impressive Work, Cowboy.
I Knew Kaylie And I Would End Up Together If I Just Waited It Out.
- I Don't Know How You Hung In There.
- I'm Used To It.
Kaylie And I Were Together For Over A Year, Nobody Knew.
Not Our Teammates, Not Our Friends, Not Her Dad, Who Would've Killed Us.
Our Whole Relationship Was Underground.
I Just Can't Get My Head Around That.
Well, You Better Start If You Want To Be With A Rock Girl.
You've Got To Realize You Can't Have A "normal" Relationship.
Yeah.
Wouldn't You Just Love To Be A Fly On The Wall At That Lockdown? That Is My Idea Of Hell.
All The Chatter And Gossip? I Bet You Kaylie Is Telling Althe Girls Right Now About Your Sudsy Little Mak E-out Session.
- Oh, Crap.
- All The Girls Including - The Bossy Blonde One.
- Kay, You Awake? - Yeah.
No Matter What's Gone Down Between Us, I Will Always Need You, Kaylie.
You're Not Just My Teammate.
You're Like The Sister I Never Had.
I Know.
You, Too.
Let's Never Let A Guy Come Between Us Again.
I Promise.
Never Again.
Ok.
In Three Days, We Go Up Against China.
They Are Considered To Be The Best Team In The World.
Who Is The Strongest Girl On The Chinese Team, Kaylie? Genji Cho.
- That Little 1 Genji Cho Scored Every Single Gold Medal In The Meet Against The U.
S.
The Chinese Won Eight Medals.
How Many Medals Did The U.
S.
Team Win? - Emily? - Four Medals.
Four.
We Want To Beat The Chinese Team.
But We Must Do Better Than The U.
S.
Team To Make Our Point.
And We Will.
This Is The Last Practice Of Lockdown, So Show Me What You Got.
I Can't Spot My Feet On The Blind Landing.
It's Freaking Me Out.
Your Dod Drops Considerably Without That Blind Landing, Emily.
- You'll Have It By Competition.
- If I Don't? Yeah, I Know.
Failure Is Not An Option.
Sasha? Bad News.
Don't Tell Me.
Another Call From Beals? No, That Would Be Good News.
Because You Chose Not To Return My Calls, I Had To Catch A Las T-minute Flight.
In Coach.
Do You Have Any Idea How Aggravated I Am Right Now? Is There A Point To This? I Have A Meet To Train For.
My Point Is You Are Sending Your Girls To Slaughter.
The Chinese Beat A Better Team, The One We Assembled.
And Because You've All Gone Rogue, Not Only Will Your Girls Get Their Asses Handed To Them By China, They May Even Get Kicked Off The National Team.
Thanks To Your Politics, They're As Good As Kicked Off Already.
So I Really Don't Think They've Got Anything To Lose.
That's Where You're Wrong, Belov.
You're Setting Them Up To Lose It All.
- And I'm Not Going To Let You.
- There's Nothing You Can Do About It.
We'll See About That.
Emily.
Ellen Beals With National Committee.
I Know Who You Are.
You Know We Keep A Close Eye On Our Scholarship Athletes.
Everything Ok With Your Family? We're Doing Fine, Thank You.
That's Good To Hear.
You're Managing Financially? We're Doing Ok Right Now.
And You're Following All The Rules, Keeping Up With Your Schoolwork? Good.
We're Very Proud Of You, Emily.
And We Don't Want Anything To Get In The Way Of Our Partnership.
What Did Beals Want? Everyone Could Tell She Was Pissed.
And It's Your Job As The Team Leader To Stop Your Teammates Wondering About Ellen Beals And Focus On Winning.
- Right.
Sorry.
- Kaylie.
I've Been Especially Proud Of You These Past Seven Days.
- You're Becoming A Leader.
- Thank You.
Don't Thank Me.
Prove Me Right.
You're About To Go Back Out Into The Real World.
I Need You To Keep Your Team Focused On This Meet.
Are You Up For That? - Yes, Sir.
- Ok.
I'll Be Happy To Sleep In My Own Bed Tonight.
Yeah, But It's Been Nice Taking A Break From All The Drama Out There.
Tell Me About It.
- The World Has Been On Hold For The Past Seven Days, And Now It's Right Outside That Door, Waiting.
So Let's Make A Pact.
If Any Of Us Feels Like We're Freaking Out, You Make A Call To One Of Your Teammates.
We're Gonna Stand By Each Other.
We're Gonna Stay Focused.
And Three Days From Now, We're Going To Shock The World.
So Let's Do It.
- One, Two, Three.
- Rock On! Hello, Stranger.
I'm Beginning To Think You're Blowing Me Off.
Steve, The Truth Is I Have Been Avoiding You.
I Think It's Best If We Stop Dating.
I Was Hoping You Were Just Busy.
- I'm Thinking Of The Girls.
- Wait.
We Have A Lot Of Fun Together.
What's So Wrong With That? Please, Don't.
So How Many Gifts Do You Think My Dad Has Given Your Mom Since We've Been In Here? As Far As I Know, My Mother Came To Her Senses And Broke Up With Your Dad.
I Doubt It.
Money Talks, Especially To Poor People.
I Highly Doubt Your Mom Would Let Go Of My Dad.
I Have A Feeling She Just Did.
How Did It Go With Payson? How Was The Training? She's Not Training.
Just Conditioning.
I'm Sure She's Chomping At The Bit To Get The Ok To Return To Her Gymnastics.
She Got The Ok Two Weeks Ago.
Then Why Isn't She ? - She Doesn't Know I Know.
You Should've Told Me.
- If She Wasn't Ready, I Didn't Want To Push It.
And I Guess I Thought Spending A Whole Week In Here Would Be What She Needed To Get Over Her Fears.
- I'll Talk To Her.
- No, No.
Um If You Don't Mind, Let Me Have A Shot At Handling This.
Payson, Can I Have A Word With You Before You Go? Oh, Yeah, Sure.
I Wanted You To Join Us On This Lockdown Because Your Presence Brings A Lot To This Team.
Thank You.
Do You Know Why The Chinese Team Is So Powerful? Because They Work Them So Hard.
It's Because They Start Training Before They Know How To Be Afraid Of Failure.
Fear Can Be As Crippling As An Injury To Any Gymnast.
Which Is Why I'm Concerned About Emily.
- Emily? - She's Letting Her Fear Stop Her From Nailing The Blind Landing On Her Yurchenko.
You've Just Faced Your Worst Fear And You're Ready To Come Back, Right? - As Soon As They Let Me.
- Excellent.
That's The Kind Of Fearlessness Emily Needs.
I Want You To Work With Her.
I Think You're The One That Could Help Her Nail That Vault.
Can You Do That For Me? She'll Be Sticking That Blind Landing By The End Of Practice Tomorrow.
That's What I Wanted To Hear.
I'm Back! Did You Miss Me? - You're In A Good Mood.
- Well, I'm Happy To Be Out Of The Gym, I'm Psyched To Have A Rematch With That Freak Genji Cho And I'm Evevn Glad To See You.
Kaylie Didn't Tell You.
That's Good.
Uh - I Wanted To Talk To You First.
- About What? Kaylie And I Are Back Together.
- You're Back Together? - Well We Kissed.
Really? How Exactly Did You Two Wind Up, Uh, Locking Lips? It Just Sort Of Happened.
I'd Just About Given Up.
But I Guess She Finally Decided To Forgive Me.
I Just Can't Believe We've Been In The Gym Together For A Week And She Didn't Say Anything.
- Maybe She Didn't Think You'd Want To Hear About It.
It's Sort Of A Sore Subject For You Guys.
- - - What? Force Field.
I Can Feel It From Here.
Power.
Agility.
Perfection.
You Went Into Lockdown As Emily Kmetko, But You Came Out With Superpowers.
Look Out, Everybody.
She Could Knock You Over With Her Little Finger.
- Are Those My Potato Fingers? Dude, Don't Get Her Mad.
She Will Decimate You, Like She's Gonna Do To Those Chinese Girls.
Here You Go, Sir.
So How Did You Spend Your Week? Actually, I Spent It Laying Down Some Tracks Of My Songs.
- Really? - Yeah.
It Felt Good.
What Are You Gonna Do With Them? I, Uh, Sent Them To This New Music Contest Npr Is Doing.
That's Great.
I'm Really Proud Of You.
Easy, Superpower-girl.
It's A Long Shot.
Yeah, Well, That's What They Told Me About Nationals.
So, What's The Prize? To Open For Green Day's European Tour.
- That's Amazing! Doesn't That Mean You're Gonna Have To Sing Your Own Songs? In Front Of People? There's No Chance In Hell I'm Gonna Win, Emily.
I Just Wanted To Get Things Started, You Know? Take A Step.
I'm Still Really Proud Of You.
Hear That? Superpower-girl Is Proud Of Me.
What Was I Thinking With That Neon Green Leo? - That Was Mine.
Remember, We Used To Share Leos.
Yeah, We Used To Share Everything.
Speaking Of Sharing There's Something I Haven't Told You.
My Dad's Dating Chloe Kmetko.
- What? - I Know.
Emily Told Me Her Mom's Gonna Blow It Off, But How Can You Believe That, Right? - You Ok? - Yeah.
I Think The Hardest Part Is That My Dad Kept It A Secret, You Know? Yeah, I'm Sure.
Look, You Gotta Get It Out Of Your Mind Till After The Competition.
You Heard Sasha.
Right Now, We Gotta Focus On Beating Genji Cho.
Guess I Just Needed Someone To Talk To.
You Said We Could Lean On Each Other If We Needed To.
- Yeah.
- I'm Sure You'd Tell Me If There Was Something Big Going On With You.
- - - Can You Pass That To Me? It's Carter.
Something You Want To Tell Me? Um We Sort Of Made Up.
All Those Nights In The Gym Together And You Didn't Tell Me? I'm Sorry, I I Guess I'm Just Having A Hard Time Trusting You.
At Least When It Comes To Carter, You Know? Look, From Here On Out, I'm Keeping The Promise I Made Last Night.
You Are Too Important To Me, And I Will Never Let A Guy Come Between Us Again.
I Mean It.
You Can Trust Me, Kay.
And You Can Trust Carter, Too.
It's My Dad.
He Wants Me Home.
Mj Is Downstairs.
She Says She Needs To Discuss The Meet With China.
Mj? She Never Told Me She Was Coming To Town.
- Hey.
What's Going On? - I Don't Mean To Scare You, Kaylie, But The National Committee Is Up In Arms Over This Invitational.
Yeah.
I Guess That's Why Ellen Beals Showed Up At The Rock This Morning.
She Came To Shut This Thing Down.
And She Sent Me To Talk To You.
No, They Can't Shut This Down.
We Need To Prove Ourselves, To Save Our Careers.
I Want You To Consider Withdrawing From This Competition.
Withdrawing? Mj, I I'm Sorry, I Can't.
My Team Is Counting On Me To Help Them Win This.
I Mean, I'm The Leader Now.
I Understand You Don't Want To Desert Your Friends.
But None Of Them, Not Lauren, Not Emily, Certainly Not Payson, Who Isn't Even Competing, Have As Much On The Line As You Do.
You're The National Champion.
Sure, You Didn't Go To China, But You Still Have Your Title.
Not To Mention, Partnerships And Endorsements That Could All Be Lost.
- Do Any Of Those Girls Have That? - Uh, No.
It's Easy To Say You Should Stick By A Team.
But At The End Of The Day, This Is An Individual Sport.
Lauren Needs A Rematch Because She Lost To Everyone In China.
Emily Desperately Needs To Prove She's For Real.
They Both Will Only Gain From This.
You're The One With Everything To Lose.
Ok, Explain It To Me Again.
I Can Understand Running Down The Vault Track - And Hopping Onto The Thing.
- It's Called A Punch, - Onto The Springboard.
- Right.
But You Don't Do That.
You Dive Face Forward Into The Flippity Thing.
Round-off.
And Punch Onto The Springboard.
And That's Not The Scary Part? No, I'm Ok With That.
In A Weird Way, The Best Thing About The Yurchenko Is You're Into The Move Before You Have Time To Think About It.
But Then You Think About It.
It's The Blind Landing.
With The Entry, The Round-off, I'm Facing Forward, So I Can See Where I'm Going.
But I Just Can't Stand The Idea Of Flying Blind And Not Seeing Where I'm Gonna Land.
And Everyone's Counting On Me To Do It.
Look, I Know You Felt Like You Were Flying Blind With Me.
I'm Sorry.
And I'm Sorry For Not Believing You About Jail.
I Knew, Deep Down, That You Didn't Do Anything Wrong, But I Just Freaked Out When You Disappeared, You Know? Yeah, It Looked Bad.
That Was My Fault.
But I Promise I Promise It Will Never Happen Again.
I Want To Take Care Of You, Emily.
I Want To Be There For You.
I Want To Come To Your Invitational And Cheer For You.
Just Let Me Back In.
It's So Hard For Me.
It's Hard For Me, Too.
Ridiculously Hard.
You Think I've Ever Felt Like This Before? You Think I've Been In Love? Been In Love Before? I Love You, Too.
I Have Something For Mrs.
Cruz.
I'm Mrs.
Cruz.
- Do I Need To Sign For This? - No, Ma'am.
- What Is It? - It's It's From An Attorney.
Your Father's Filing For Divorce.
Oh, My God.
I Just Was Hoping He'd Forgive Me.
I Just I Just Thought I Thought That - Where Is She? - Who Knows? Kaylie Still Isn't Here? You Saw Her Last Night.
Did She Say Anything About Coming In Late? No.
She Seemed Fine.
But She Did Get A Surprise Visit From Mj.
- I Wonder What She Said To Her.
- This Is A Gym, Not A Discotheque, Ladies.
I Want Less Gossip And More Sweating, Please.
- Have You Heard From Kaylie? - She's Just Running Late.
- She'll Walk In The Door Any Second.
- Running Late? It's Almost Ten.
- I'm Sure She Has A Perfectly Reasonable Explanation For Her Tardiness.
And It's None Of Your Business! So Back To Work.
I Needed To See You.
Um Sorry, It's Kind Of A Mess In Here.
Are You Really Divorcing Mom? I Know It's Hard For You, But It's Really Between Your Mother And Me.
I Want You To Come Home, Dad.
I Really Need You Right Now.
Kaylie, I'm Sorry.
I've Been A Crappy Father.
But I Feel Like My Guts Have Been Ripped Out.
Your, Uh, Mom Cheated On Me With A Man I Trusted With My Most Precious Thing.
You.
And The Whole World Knew About It.
For Months.
You Knew About It.
I Know.
I Know, And It Killed Me.
It Did.
I'm So Sorry That I Didn't Tell You.
I Shouldn't Have Said That.
It's Not Your Responsibility.
You Were Just Stuck In The Middle, Kaylie.
I'm Also Sorry I'm Not One Of Those Dads That Can Put On A Brave Face And Pretend Like Nothing Happened.
Yeah, But The Rock Is Having This Big Meet With China.
And Mj Has Pretty Much Told Me That If I Compete In It, Then I'm Basically Forfeiting My Title As The National Champion.
You Fired Me As Your Manager Because You Didn't Think I Was The Best Person To Advise You On Your Career.
And You Were Probably Right.
This Situation Has Made Me Look Back At The Way I've Handled A Lot Of Things.
Your Gymnastics, My Own Sports Career, My Family.
And To Tell You The Truth, I Don't Have A Whole Lot Of Faith In My Judgment These Days.
Right.
I Guess I Shouldn't Have Come Here.
If You Want My Advice I Do.
Take Care Of Number One.
That's What I'm Doing.
At The End Of The Day, It's All You Can Count On.
Kaylie! Of Course I Advised Kaylie Not To Compete.
It's My Job To Save Her Career.
No, It's Your Job To Put Her Face On Cereal Boxes And Sports Drinks, Not Scare Her Out Of Competitions.
The National Committee Is So Terrified We're Gonna Do Better Against China Than The National Team - And Expose Their Ludicrous Cronyism.
- This Is All About Your Ego.
- Don't Be Ridiculous.
- Oh, Sasha, It's Me.
I Know You.
You've Always Hated The Gymnastics Establishment, Ever Since They Ran You Out Of Your Last Job.
And Now, You're Using Kaylie To Wage Your Own Personal Vendetta Against The Committee For Not Choosing You To Coach The National Team.
If That's What You Think, You Don't Know Me At All.
This Is All About Kaylie.
A National Champion Should Be Allowed To Represent Her Country In International Events.
That's Exactly My Point.
Your Club Meet Is Not A Committee-sanctioned Event.
And Kaylie Has Smartly Chosen To Pull Herself From The Competition.
She Told You She's Pulling Out? No, But It's Clear From Her Absence That's The Decision She's Made.
I'll Believe It When I Hear It From Kaylie.
Well, That Doesn't Look Good.
Mj Is Convincing Kaylie To Protect Her Ass.
You Don't Really Think Kaylie Would Bail On The Meet Just To Keep Her Endorsement Deals? Kaylie Wouldn't Bail On Us, Would She? We Can't Do This Without Her.
Look, Kaylie Out Of Your Head.
Now, More Than Ever, You Need To Ace This Vault.
- I'm Not Gonna Get It In Time! - Yes, You Will.
It's Ok.
You Got This.
Say To Yourself, Emily, I Know Exactly - Where I'm Gonna Land.
- I Know Exactly Where I'm Gonna Land.
- On My Feet.
- On My Feet.
See It, Emily.
On My Ass.
Hello? Yeah, This Is Damon Young.
No Way.
No Way.
I Won? I Won, Like, The Whole Thing? Yeah, Yeah, Hold On.
Tonight? Denver? Yes, Yes, I Can Be There.
Uh-huh.
Yes, Thank You So Much.
Ok, Bye.
I Distinctly Wrote 5,000, Not 500.
That Paper Product Supply Guy Is Seriously Trying To Kill Me.
- I'm Sorry, Suzie, I Can't Work.
- What's Wrong, Someone Die? No, No, No.
I Just Have To Be Somewhere, Like, Right Now.
No! Damon, Damon.
Don't Do This To Me.
I'm On The Verge.
Like, The Complete Verge.
If You Leave Now, You Are Fired.
You Know What? I'm Fine With That.
I'm So Sorry To Do This To You, But This Is A Once In A Lifetime Kind Of Deal.
Listen, Tell Emily That I Will Call Her The Second She Is On Her Shift.
Tell Her I'll Be Late, But I Will Be Back Tonight To Give Her Moral Support.
Thank You.
- Oh, Yeah.
I Will Be Sure To Pass All That Along.
I Don't Get What The Problem Is.
You've Got Harder Moves.
- It's That Move.
- You Just Need To Hone Your Focus.
- Do It Again.
- I Can't.
- Do It Again! - No! What Is Your Problem, Emily? It's Not About Focusing More Or Trying Harder! Don't You Get It? No, I Don't.
You Can Do This.
I'm Scared, Ok? And I Know You Don't Get It, Because You're The Great Payson Keeler And Everyone Knows You've Never Been Afraid Of Anything Your Whole Entire Perfect Life! But I Can't Be As Brave As You, Payson.
I'm Terrified Of That Blind Landing.
You Can Do This.
If I Could Do It, You Can Do It.
You Just Have To Focus.
Spoken Like Someone Who's Had Two Normal, Happy Parents And Has Had The Great Luxury Of Focusing On Gymnastics Her Whole Entire Life.
I'm Sorry.
The Pressure Is Getting To Me Just A Little Bit.
I Have Something To Tell You That I Haven't Told A Single Person.
I Got The Go-ahead To Do Gymnastics Two Weeks Ago.
I've Been Lying To Everyone.
- Why? - Because I'm Scared.
I'm Scared Of Gymnastics.
- You? - Yeah.
I Don't Know What My Body Is Gonna Do, You Know? It's Always Been The One Thing I Can Count On, To Do What I Want.
But Now, I Mean, What If It Betrays Me Or Stops Me, Breaks Me Again? It Won't, Payson.
It's Not Gonna Happen.
You Have All Of That Training Behind You.
You Can Count On That.
When I Look At The Bars, I Just Forget It.
When I Stand In Front Of Them, I Can't Even Breathe.
It's Like There's This Invisible Wall Between Me And Every Apparatus In This Gym.
That's Exactly What I'm Feeling.
I'll Do It If You Do It.
You First.
No More Fear.
From Now On, Trust.
Trust.
Trust.
It Was Ugly, But But You Did It! - I'm Supposed To Keep It Simple.
Just Do A Basic, Simple Handspring.
I'm Waiting.
I Can't Believe I'm So Afraid.
- I Got This Vault When I Was Eight.
- You Can Do It, Payson.
- Trust.
- Trust.
Ah! Being The Nation's Best Comes With Pressure And Responsibility, Kaylie.
But You Can't Let That Translate Into Fear.
You Can't.
But Mj Says That She Thinks This Could Ruin My Career.
Kaylie, Right Now You've Got A Lot Of Voices Telling You You Can't Do This, That It Will Ruin You.
But Then There's Another Voice, Mine, Saying You Can Do This.
It's Your Choice.
Who Are You Gonna Listen To? I Just I Don't Think I'm Capable Of Doing My Best Right Now.
Gymnastics Is An Individual Sport.
But Nobody Wins Without The Strength Of A Team Behind Them.
And No Team Wins Without A Leader.
Your Team Needs Your Loyalty To Believe They Have What It Takes To Win.
You're Right.
They Need Me.
I'll Be There.
There You Are! Here I Am.
Exactly 15 Minutes Early.
I've Been Flying Completely Solo Out There.
I'm Buried.
- You're Not Flying Solo.
Damon's In Tonight.
- Don't Even Talk To Me About Damon.
- What About Him? He Quit.
An Hour Ago.
Haven't Heard From Him Since.
- Damon Quit? Tonight? - Mm-hm.
Just Like That.
Could Never Really Count On That Guy.
Do You Know What You're Doing To These Girls? What I'm Doing? You've Got To Be Kidding Me.
Putting All That Pressure On Kaylie Cruz, Turning Her Manager Against Her? - It's Pathetic.
- It's Not Pathetic.
We're Advising Her On What's Best For Her.
You're Not Advising, You're Scheming.
You're Trying To Get Kaylie To Pull Out Because You Know It Would Be Devastating For The Other Girls If Just One Of Them Bailed.
I'm Happy To Tell You It Didn't Work.
Kaylie Is Doing The Invitational And You Can't Stop Her.
That's Why We Are Going To Stop Emily.
- Excuse Me? - Emily Kmetko Has A Job.
A Clear Violation Of The Rules Of Her National Committee Scholarship.
You Know, I Don't Know Where You Get Your Information From, But Emily Would Never Lie To Me.
And She Would Never Break The Rules Or Do Anything To Break Her Scholarship.
You Might Want To Remind Her Of That When You Visit Her At The Pizza Shack, 1612 Evergreen Plaza, Boulder, Colorado.
Those Are The People Who Have Been Paying Her, According To The Irs.
Oh, And While You're There, You Can Tell Her The National Committee Knows She's In Violation Of Her Scholarship.
And If She Competes In The Invitational, We Pull It.
You're In The Weeds! Table Two Just Walked Out.
- Do You Think I Can't See That? - Speed Up Your Lazy Butt, Emily.
You're Killing Us Here, Ok? If You Want A Pie, You're Gonna Have To Hold On.
We're Buried Here.
Oh, And Little Miss Fancy Panties, She Can't Keep Up.
Get The Hell Out Of My Way.
Emily, Turn Around.
Now.
I Can Explain.
I'm Just Filling In For A Friend.
Stop Lying To Me, Emily.
Sasha, I'm So, So Sorry.
I Did Not Mean To Break The Rules.
I Need To Work.
- I've Always Worked.
- You Are In Really, - Really Big Trouble Right Now.
- No! I'm Gonna Quit.
I'll Quit Right Now.
- No, You Won't! You Will Not Quit! - I Said Get The Hell Out! You Are In Really Big Trouble With Me, But Worse, Right Now, You Are In Really Big Trouble With The National Committee.
They Know About Your Little Hobby Making Pizzas And They're Threatening To Pull Your Scholarship.
They Can't! We Need This Money.
Well, They Are Offering You An Out.
If You Don't Do The Invitational, They Say You Can Keep Your Scholarship.
- What Am I Gonna Do? - If You Had Just Trusted Me, Emily, We Wouldn't Be In This Position! I Can't Believe You Lied To Me.
- I Didn't Think That I Had A Choice.
- Of Course, There's A Choice! There's Always A Choice.
You Could Have Been Honest.
If You'd Have Come To Me In The First Place, I Would Have Found A Way To Help You.
You've Been Given This Incredible Chance.
A Once In A Lifetime Chance.
But Right Now, You're Just Throwing It Away.
I'm So Sorry That I Let You Down.
I Can't Tell You To Do The Invitational.
And I Certainly Can't Ask Your Family To Give Up Part Of Its Livelihood.
So This Is Your Decision.
I'm Doing It.
- I'm Doing The Invitational.
- You Need To Think About This - Very Carefully, Emily.
- No! I Don't.
You've Supported Me.
You've Stuck Your Neck Out For Me So That I Could Shine At That Invitational.
And What Did I Do? I Lied To You.
And I've Let You Down.
I'm Gonna Do It.
I'm Not Gonna Let My Teammates Down.
And I'm Not Gonna Let Myself Down.
Come On.
I'll Help You Bus Some Tables.
- Pizza Shack.
- Em, Hey, It's Me.
Listen, I'm So Sorry I Wasn't There Tonight.
- I Can't Do This, Damon.
- But Em, I Got Really Big News.
i Can't Do This.
The Rules At The Rock Are There For A Reason.
I Can't Believe I Broke Them, Here, At This Job And With You.
I Am So Close To Losing Everything I've Worked For, Everything My Family Has Moved Two States Away For.
Em, Wait, You Gotta Hear Me Out.
i Don't.
I Can't Talk To You, Damon.
i Can't See You.
Don't Call Me.
Don't Contact Me.
And Don't Come To The Invitational.
Goodbye, Damon.
- Hey.
- Have You Talked To Kaylie? - She's Still Not Returning My Texts.
- You're In Good Company.
She's Hasn't Been Returning Anyone's Texts.
- it's Lauren.
Let Me Have It.
- - I Really Need To Talk To You, Lo.
Ellen Beals Just Called Me Personally.
They're Scaring Me And I Really Need You To Tell Me That I Can Do It.
Screw It, It's Almost Curfew.
I Know You're Home.
I'm Coming Over.
Oh, My Gosh! What's Wrong, Sweetie? It's Bad, Mom.
It's Really, Really Bad.
What Is It, Sweetie? You Can Tell Me.
- - - What Is It? I've Lost My Scholarship.
The National Committee Said That If I Competed At The Invitational, They Would Pull My Scholarship And I Told Sasha I Was Doing The Invitational.
Oh, My Goodness.
That Money Is Half Of Our Income.
Did I Screw Up, Mom? Did I Screw Up Everything? - No.
- I Did, Didn't I? - No.
- I Didn't Know What To Do.
And I Feel So Backed Into A Corner Right Now.
Honey, I Have Never Been More Proud Of You.
Really? You Were Forced To Make A Horrible Decision, But You Stood By Your Friends And You Stood Up For Yourself.
You Didn't Allow Those People To Own You.
What Are We Gonna Do? We'll Figure It Out.
We Always Do.
If Kaylie Found Out You've Been Living Here After I Told Her She Could Trust Us, That Would Be It.
You Told Kaylie That She Could Trust Me? I Sort Of Thought You Didn't Want Us To Get Back Together.
I Didn't.
But That Trip To China Gave Me Time To Think.
Lauren? This Is This Is Hard For Me To Say.
I Love You, Carter.
It's Not A Secret Anymore.
- I'm Sorry, Lauren, But - You Don't Have To Say It.
- You Love Kaylie.
- Mr.
Tanner? - Lauren Isn't Here.
- Oh.
You Know What? Try The Garage Apartment.
Apparently, She Goes Up There To Meditate.
Meditate? Somehow, Going Through All This Craziness Has Made Us Friends.
That's True.
You Were There For Me When No One Else Was.
Since You're My Friend, I Want You To Be Happy.
Kaylie's My Best Friend.
If You And Kaylie Are Happy Together, Then That Will Make Me Happy.
Because I Love You Both.
