Em!

Emma! Emma!

Come on, Em.
We got to get to the rink.

You should've seen what happened today.
Get the door.

Twenty-two kids got sent home from school with lice.

Benefits of tea tree oil.
Ew!

Would you rather get lice?

What's with the boxes?

Mind your own business, kiddo.

Oh, really?

Em, get in the driver's seat,
key on,

pedal to the metal when I say.

Got it.

Hit it!

I know this hasn't
been easy for you

and how badly
you need the funding,

so skate clean, it's yours.

I will.

That was a great skate
for Odessa Patterson.

Here's her score...
You see my mom yet?

Stay focused, Mattie.
You know what's at stake.

This is your year.

And don't overthink
the triple lutz.

You nailed it in warm-up.
Don't rush the takeoff.

And our next competitor,

representing the Toronto Skating Club,
is Mattie Dane.

You've got this, girl.

Hurry!

Stay focused, Mattie.

Here we go, Mattie.

Mattie!

Go!

The poor kid had a shot at getting a free ride,
a grant.

She only needed to be
in the top five.

She was the best one on the ice.
She's worked so hard.

I've seen her land
that jump a hundred times.

So how bad is it?
Torn meniscus.

No skating for
12 weeks, then rehab.

No, I-I mean
your financial situation.

Four months behind on rent.

Is there any severance pay?

From a used-car lot?
Are you kidding?

Bummer.

Okay. Desperate times,
desperate measures. Pack your bags, kiddo.

You and the girls are moving in with me.
We can't do that.

The girls are in school.
Our lives are here.

Appreciate the offer.
I'll make it work.

I made the honor roll
in high school.

No.

No college degree.

Yes, I know I haven't worked
in a medical office,

but I'm real good with people.

I'm real good with people.
I'm real good with people.

Okay.

Okay, I-I understand.

I did teach some fitness classes in my 20s,

and actually I did
fitness modeling.

How old am I?

Kelly Dane?
Yeah.

You've been served.

"Seventy-two hours
to vacate the premises"?

Are you kidding me?
Hey... Hey!

I could use a little help
out here!

I thought Aunt Ginger
lived in New York.

She retired and moved back home.

Yeah, she gave up her promising musical theater career.

At least she gave it a shot.

Forty years is more than a shot.

How far is Sudbury?
Four boring hours.

There's a car dealership there I think I can get a job at.

- What about my skating?
- We're dealing with a serious injury here.

I can still get better
for nationals.

Baby, we just can't afford
skating right now.

- Don't do this to me!
- It's not all about you, Mattie.

We're gonna have to pitch in and make compromises.

Yeah, 'cause you can't
keep a job.

- That's not fair.
- This isn't fair.

Life is not fair, Mattie.
Get used to it.

Hey, check this out.
Are you cold?

Hey, hey. Emma, Mattie.
Want anything?

It's been a good month
but not great,

so I'm gonna do something
to shake up the sales team.

I got someone new coming in...
Thanks for showing up, guys.

Oh, no. You're giving her a job?
A job here, with us?

Yes.
She's not a local, eh?

She's got no customer base here.
Yeah.

Who's she gonna call?
She's got, like, no customers. Zero.

Actually, she's from here.

She is?
Yeah.

Okay, but we've got a pretty tight team here.
Yeah.

You know what an import would do to this team?
Yeah, make it better.

Okay. Okay, look.
I got an idea.

She doesn't make a sale in 30 days,
she gotta go.

Give her 60 days.

Thirty days. Bam.
Thirty days, gone.

She can do it.
Okay.

But if she doesn't,
she's gone. Fair bet? Huh?

- Huh? Huh? Huh?
- Eh? Bet?

- Bet. Bet.
- Huh? Huh?

- Uh...
- Bet it.

All right, all right.
It's a bet. All right.

All right.

Jerry?
What?

Go. Just go.
Meeting's over, guys.

Wow.
Look at the houses.

Everyone must be
rich on this street.

Is everyone rich in Sudbury?
Is Aunt Ginger rich?

Hardly.

I don't know.
She did all right.

- Better than we have.
- Lighten up, Mattie.

We've got our health and each other.
That ain't bad.

- Is this Aunt Ginger's?
- Yeah.

I love it.

All right.
Just leave the bags in the car, okay?

We'll go in and say hi.

Auntie Ginger?

Auntie Ginger, are you here?

She's not even home, Mom.

Really nice welcome.

Mattie give it a break. Geez.
- Language!

I said "geez."

You girls hungry?

- Girls, we've gotta go shopping.
- Oh, crap!

I wanted to be here
when you got here.

Auntie Ginger.
Oh, hello!

Thank you.
Oh, don't mention it.

Oh.

This must be Emma.

Oh, you're as pretty
as your mom.

Well, not as pretty as me
at your age, but still.

Very pretty. Oh!

Oh, and is this Mattie?

Holy mother of God, look at you.

I remember when all you did was crap your pants and pick your nose.

Oh, you poor thing.

How are you feeling?
Hello?

Who's this?
Emma. Who's this?

It's Louis.
Louis, the car guy?

Yep.
My mom can sell anything with four wheels and an engine.

That's true. She can.

Louis?
Kelly?

- Yes.
- Oh, it's so good to hear your voice.

You too.

I hope you like your rooms.

I've had so much fun
fixing them up.

Okay, we're gonna get you settled,
and then...

presents for all!

Did she say presents?
She's trying to buy us.

I can be bought.

It seems like yesterday we were in high school, right?

When are we gonna see you
down at the shop?

I want to get you starting sales right away.

You mean, I have the job?

Uh, of course you have the job.
Are you kidding me?

- I'll see you Monday morning, then.
- Oh, gosh, this is swell.

I can't believe you're here.
Okay, see you Monday.

Ciao.

Bye.

Oh! She's back! Yes!

Yes, yes, yes, yes!

Yes! Yes!

Yes!

And...
this is your room.

Really?

This is for a four-year-old.

Have you guys seen my room?

Never mind.
Yours is way worse.

You can make it your own.

Aunt Ginger just
re-did it for me.

You know what, Mom?
This really sucks.

We really didn't have
a choice, Mattie Dane.

You ruined my life.
I did not.

You were this close to being funded.
You're the one that fell.

- Mom!
- I can't believe you just said that.

I'm sorry.

- I'm sorry.
- It's okay.

Okay, very calm,
very relaxed, okay?

Be a good girl, Rose.

And...

frown.

You would not
believe

who I just saw
at the grocery store.

Who? No, no.
You can't move, Rose.

Who?
Can this wait?

No.
Kelly Dane.

Rose!
Kelly? Kelly Dane?

Yeah.
Give us a minute.

Yes.
At the grocery store here in town?

Yes. She had
two kids with her.

How'd she look?
Amazing.

I-I mean, okay.

Is she just visiting,
or is she moving back?

I don't know. Oh, forget it.
I'll find out myself.

Okay, Dr. Schacter,
you can come back in now.

I'll be a good girl.

You got something?
Yeah.

Good, good. Kid's here.
You want me to collect on the debt?

Not yet.
Now that we know he's at the rink,

go see his old man first,
if he's not in jail.

Easy as pie.

Mercury?

Mercury, that choreography
was all off.

You're showing her
bad technique.

The double axel was weak.
The butterfly... eh.

And the flying camel was way off.
No, it wasn't.

Yes, it was. Yes, it was,
most definitely.

- Can you do it again, please?
- Rose...

- Do it again.
- I'm done.

Sorry, kiddo.
Good luck.

Don't worry about it, Heather.
We're better off without him.

Just, let's...
let's do it again, sweetie.

Heather.

Heather, stop.
Heather, stop.

Excuse me, whoever you are,
this is private ice.

Oh, sorry.

Where's Mercury? Mercury? Mercury?
- It's okay.

- Mercury?
- Honey, it's okay. I have it.

Mercury, this is
private ice, is it not?

I'll take care of this.
Can you have that girl

removed, please,
and lock the door behind her?

Can't do that, Rose. Fire regs.
Plus, your hour's up.

I'm sorry,
but we lost four minutes because of this.

You can pick it up
on the next session.

O-Okay, that's all right.
Thank you, Mercury.

It's not all right.

What are you thanking him for?
We paid for the ice.

She's good.

Okay.

"Good's" relative.
Haven't seen you before.

Just moved here from Toronto.
You skate?

I did.

Injury or money?

- Both.
- Yeah, figures.

You have a coach in Toronto?

Yeah, Pat Whillikey.
Pat's not bad.

You know her?
Yeah, I worked with her a long time ago.

You planning a comeback?

Probably not.

You shouldn't have come
into this place.

The smell gets you every time.

Yeah, I should
probably get going.

- Hey, kid.
- Mattie.

If you coach, I got a tiny tykes
program tomorrow.

Regular coach is sick.
Don't even need your skates.

Thirty bucks an hour.
4:30, sharp.

A minute late, you're fired.

Okay.

Thanks.

Uh, I'll see you later.

Are you lost?

Yeah, first day.
Do you know where 2C is?

Heather.
Mattie.

Follow me, Mattie.

So didn't I see you
at the rink last night?

Yeah.
You're a great skater.

Thanks. I know.

So, this is it.

All right.
Here you go.

Ah. Oh. Hi, guys.

Uh, Kelly,
this is Ben and Jerry,

two of our key salesmen.

Guys, this is Kelly.

So, you're the import, huh?

Oh, no, no, wait.
You're from here.

No, you were from here,
but now you're not from here.

We hear you think
you're pretty hot.

Well, so's you know,
we're pretty hot too.

Keep up the good work,
there, boys.

See ya.
Wouldn't want to be ya.

Oh, nice legs.
Bros first, man!

No, I get ya.
No ups for her.

Still, that's something.

It's impressive, yes.

They seem, uh, interesting.

Well, appearances
can be deceiving.

This is a fabulous dealership.

Oh, thanks a lot.

And this...
is yours.

Oh, wow.
Yeah, pretty good, right?

Yeah.
Spelled it okay?

Uh, coffee? Tea? Me?

That's a joke, right?
No, thanks. I'm good.

So, how are you? No doubt settled down,
partnered up. Kids?

No, no, no.
No, no.

I guess I never got over
you breaking my heart.

This is great.

It is. Shall we get
down to business?

Uh, right, yeah.
Your draw-down against sales will be 600 a week.

Oh.
Is that okay?

Oh, yeah.

And, um, there's no need to

cause any trouble
right off the bat, right?

Excuse me?

Your skirt.
What about my skirt?

It's a little short.

You know, the four Ps?
Sorry, the four Ps?

"Prudent to appear
as professional as possible."

That's three Ps.

No, it isn't.

Yeah, "prudent," "professional," "possible." Three.

Well, I always counted "appear" to be a P.

You know, you're right.
You're absolutely right. "Appear" is an A.

So how long do I have?
What?

Before I have to
make my first sale?

Uh, well...

It's okay.
Louis, I'm a pro.

Thirty days.

No problem.

- He's always looking at me.
- Who?

Him. Darcy.

But he's trouble, as in,
"stay away from."

His dad is in and out of jail,
and his mom disappeared a few years ago.

Last year,
he beat up this kid really bad...

Like, really bad.

So, what brought you to Sudbury?

My mom got a job here.

Here?
Yeah, believe it or not.

Are you getting ready
for sectionals?

Yeah. You skate?
I did.

Bombed out at regionals.
Injured my knee.

Sorry about your knee,
but it is cool that you skated.

We have a lot in common.

Hi, I'm Portia.
I'm the school social convener.

Mattie.
I have a couple questions to get you on the right track.

"Track"?
So do you qualify yourself as

a jock, goth, emo,

raver, motor-head,
or a princess?

Princess, right?

Uh...

I see it.

Been a while, Mercury.
You coaching?

- No, but I ran into one of your skaters.
- Let me guess. Mattie Dane.

Yeah. Seems like a good kid.
Oh, yeah.

No, she's got it.
I hated losing her.

If she gets her knee back,
she can go all the way. She's that good.

Thanks.

Okay, so let's make two lines.

What we're gonna do...
push once and glide on one foot.

Okay? And under.

Good job. Good work.

Sadie,

when you feel like
you're off balance,

don't go like this.

That'll make you want to go like this or like that.

So keep your feet straight and your knees over your toes.

There you go.
See?

Good. Nice work.
I'm here if you need me.

That's a lot better.
And then arms out for balance.

Around.
There you go.

How'd you do that?
Whoo.

How'd your knee
feel out there?

Not bad.

It hurt, didn't it?

Yeah.

Yeah, you're doing more
than you should.

So what are you doing for rehab?

Cycling.
No, that's not enough.

It's free.

Is that you?

Yeah.

Who's that with you?

My wife.

She was a skater?

Yeah, she was great.

- Are you guys still married?
- No.

I'm... sorry.

Forty bucks.
You were good with the kids today.

Thank you.
Are you available Thursday?

- Yeah.
- 4:30 sharp. Don't be late.

Leave your skates here.
There are lockers in the back. Thanks.

I saw you set up to jump.

You chickened out.

Ugh. Crap.
My mom's coming home.

I love your house.

Yeah, Mom had it custom built.

Are you hungry?
'Cause I'm starving?

Here, have some.
Dig in.

How often do you have private ice?
Like, five days a week.

Oh, sorry.
And I do regular sessions too.

It's Mercury's dinky rink,
and he only offers three a week.

Mostly intermediate girls.

It's so annoying.

I can trust you, right?

Yeah.
I'd love your opinion on some of my dresses.

My mom and I are always fighting over what I should wear.

She's burned through,
like, four designers.

Come on.

Your room is really great.

Thanks.
What do you think?

- Gorgeous.
- I know, silly, but which one do you like?

Heather?

Oh.
What are you doing?

Uh, Mom, this is Mattie.

Wait, didn't I see you at the rink?
Sorry about that.

- You must be new in town.
- Yeah, but my mom's from here.

- Oh. So it's Mattie...
- Dane.

Dane.

I was getting Mattie's opinion on some of my dresses.

- Do you think it really matters?
- Well, Mattie skates... or she used to.

She got injured
at subsectionals.

- So you skate.
- I did.

- Hello?
- It's Mercury. Can you make it over to the rink?

Now? Yeah.
I've got some ice time.

Okay, do you see
the figure-eight tracings?

Yeah. Good.
You follow 'em.

Why am I following them?

Its called patch.
Old-school exercises.

It's all your knee
can handle right now.

Eyes on the tracing,

arms checked, knees soft.

Go ahead.

Tighten up your center.
You look like a Jell-o sandwich.

How long do I have to
keep on doing this?

You got 40 minutes.

Oh, great.

If you don't like it,
you can get off.

Keep it going.
I'll be back in a minute.

Darcy, it's for you.

Yeah.

How are you?
I'm okay.

I was wondering if you could bring some money

down to the jail tomorrow.

Dad, I don't want to
do this anymore, okay?

I love you,

but I just want you
to leave me alone.

I'm sorry.

What, did you fall doing patch?

No.

Didn't think so.

What happened?

I lined up for a jump,
and I just... I couldn't do it.

I skated right
through it, and...

I was scared.

No one said it would be easy.

I don't think I can do it.

There comes a time for everyone,
no matter who they are,

to quit.

Maybe it's that time for you.

Yeah, I... I think it is.

It's okay.

It's okay, kiddo. Come on.
I'll give you a lift home.

Surprise!
Oh!

For you.
How thoughtful.

I think so.

- Would-Would you like to come in?
- Yes. Gosh, yeah.

Louis, I'm really
so grateful for the job

and everything
you've done for me,

but, Louis,
this isn't working. Why not?

We dated in grade 10.
Best year of my life.

We were 15.
You were my first.

Kiss.

Yeah.

Shucks, I'm sorry.

You haven't changed a bit.

The same spiky hair,
the "aw, shucks" expressions.

That's a good thing, right? Mm...

Look, I can change.
No. I like you. But...

But friends.

Can we just be friends?

Sure.

Excuse me. Sorry.

I'd better go see what that is.

I'd really like to keep on
coaching the kids.

Yeah, that would...
that'd be fine.

Your mom?

Yeah.

Mom, this is Mercury.

He gave me the job at the rink.

Kelly.

That doesn't sound good.
How old is this truck?

Old.

- Let's see if we can get it started.
- Yeah.

Okay. Okay. Okay.

You should come down and see me.

Palladino Honda?

Great idea!

We got a sale on!

Okay, I can't breathe.

Okay, pop the clutch.

Ooh! I got to start
working out.

I got to start
working out. Okay.

Second string
on the second fret.

There you go.
Now take your ring finger

and put it on the third string,
also on the second fret.

Just like that. That's it.
That's A-minor.

So now the second chord,
this one's really easy.

It's literally only two strings.

You did get it.

There you go.

Nice one. You're gonna
take your ring finger...

just one more up... there we go...

to the D.

There you go.
Nice one.

Hey, Mattie.
Hey, Heather.

Had private ice this morning.
Nailed my triple lutz.

Five in a row.
I'm so happy.

Want to come to
my house after school?

Darcy, good to see you.

This thing ain't going away.

Don't make it worse.
Don't make it worse. Get off me, man.

Hey, what's going on?

- It's okay, Merc.
- Is it?

It doesn't look okay.

Darcy here owes us money.

That true, Darce?

My father owes him.
Twelve hundred.

Dad's in jail again,
debt goes to the kid.

Merc.

Seven hundred.
You give it to Mo,

you tell him it's square.

I don't think so.

This is my house.

No one comes into my house
and threatens anyone.

Your move. Make it.

You got lucky.
Let's go.

I'm sorry, Merc.
Darce,

you got any problems,
you come to me. Yeah, yeah.

Hey.

Did you see the hair?
Yeah.

No, no. I don't want you
to miss this opportunity.

Great, yeah.
See you then.

Mercury just showed up.
Wants to go for a test drive.

I'm thinking the CR-V.

Like it?

Really, I'll-I'll
get out and push.

No, you're the client.
I'll push.

Well, you were the one that said it could handle it.

Yep, I did say that.
Yep.

No problem.

I hired the best choreographer
in North America for you.

Angel Stojko, an Olympic champion,
is willing to work with you.

It's exactly what you need
to win the nationals.

I still have to win
my section first, Daddy.

The sectionals is a shoo-in.
We know that.

This is your year
to win the nationals.

Honey, you're up
from your nap.

Of course I'm up. With this racket,
I thought I was missing a party.

Sorry, honey.

Honey, are you
putting on weight?

Uh, no.

No, you're...
you're looking a little hippy there.

- Rose, maybe you shouldn't...
- Oh, hush, Henry.

Her dress is custom-made.
Her measurements can't change.

Heather, bring down
the measuring tape, honey.

Hey.

Uh, Merc says you're doing
really good with the kids.

Thanks.

He said you're a really great hockey player.

Ah, used to.

I shoot some pucks
every now and then.

Why'd you quit?

Didn't have a...
Didn't have a choice.

I'll, uh... I'll see you later.

Arms out for balance.

That's a lot better.
Good job.

I'm not gonna quit.

We're gonna need a second opinion on your knee.

What do you think about
going to nationals?

I didn't even qualify
for sectionals.

I'll get you into sectionals.

Is your mother there?

Look, Louis, you're calling
on the home phone

and I'm trying to do
my homework.

Yes, sorry. It's just,
she isn't answering her cell.

- She's at work.
- No, she isn't.

Yes, she is.
No, she isn't.

Yes, she is.
No, she isn't.

I made my first sale!

- I so want your job.
- Whoo!

She nailed a sale in 17 days.

Ugh. I hate it
when he does that.

Yeah. He is getting
better at it, though.

Eh.

Any pain?
A little.

MRI shows a longitudinal tear in the meniscus.

Can you, uh, straighten
your leg out for me?

Not too bad.
The doctor in Toronto said

I couldn't skate for 12 weeks.

It can get better,
but it is vulnerable to further injury.

We can do PRP.

What's that?
Platelet-rich plasma.

Blood spinning.
It speeds up the healing process.

- Okay.
- These treatments are expensive. Does the family have money?

I'll cover the treatments.
Then she must be good.

More than good.
She can go all the way.

We'll work it out.
Thanks.

I'm a warrior.
Intensity in the eyes.

I'm attacking.
Always intense.

I want that.
None of this sort of dead-eyed,

"Oh, I don't know where I'm going.
Oh, where am I?

I'm lost in a shopping center.
I can't find the cucumbers."

We don't want that.
Look and attack.

It's good. It's good.

It's not great,
but it's good. Okay.

You know what you're gonna win with good?
Nothing.

Again. Let's go.

and test that balance, okay?

Let's try again.
See how the knee feels.

That's it, that's it, that's it.

Okay, come back
on the other leg.

How'd that feel on the knee?

It felt weak.

All right,
throw it back to me.

Stay focused.
Core, okay?

Stronger. Throw it stronger.
Good, good.

Watch the core,
watch the balance.

This'll hurt at some point.

Tell me when.

Now. Yeah.

Hey, Darce,
I want you to do me a favor.

Help out Mattie with some rehab.
Yeah, sure.

Come on Mattie, come on! Let's go!
You got it. Come on. Keep going.

Faster. Let's go!

Any pain?

No. No pain.

Okay.
A little bit more.

Any pain?
No.

Okay. That's good.
You can rest it.

You got to let her
compete in sectionals.

She didn't qualify. Look, Maurice,
you owe me a favor.

I'm calling it in.

Pull your arms back a bit.

Good.
Okay, resist.

Let's go backwards again.
I just want to test

the knee a little bit
with some power.

Okay, easy at first.
Just easy. Nice in the knees.

Nice. Soft knees.
Nice and light at first.

How's the balance feel?
Okay.

Good. Trust the edges.
Trust them.

A little more power in the knee.

Excellent.
Okay, good.

All right.

Inside hop.

Good. Can you do
a landing position for me?

Just hold the landing.
Yeah, that's it.

Strengthen the knee.
It looks good. It looks really good.

Stay there.
Stay there, kiddo. Good.

Straighten the knee.

Draw the energy through.
Bend that knee. It looks really good.

Stay there, stay there,
stay there.

Good.

How's the knee feel?
Good.

You want to take it for a test drive?
Yeah.

You told me
she didn't skate anymore.

Well, yeah,
that's what she said.

Wasn't I right to tell you
not to trust her?

You might want to ask her
why she's lying to you.

Good.

Heather.

Heather, give me that.

That's good, that's good.
I'll insert that.

Stop. Stop.

Stop, stop, stop, stop, stop.

Where are your arms,
Heather? Up.

Up. Ball of light
in your chest.

Beautiful swan,
not sick, little duck.

Use your arms.
It's not Riverdance.

Why do you live at the rink?

Well, my dad's a drunk.

He's in and out of jail.

What about your mom?

She took off.

I guess she just couldn't
stand him anymore.

That's rough.

It's okay.

I was practicing
at the rink a lot.

Mercury kind of took me in.

Gave me a job,

let me sleep
in the dressing rooms.

It's okay.

Heather said you got
in a fight with someone

and hurt him pretty bad.

Yeah, it was a...
it was a hockey fight.

Is that why
you can't play anymore?

I can play.

The guy I hurt, he was a friend,

and he can't play anymore, so...

I figured...

I don't deserve to.

I'm sorry.

Think we're gonna need to get your
hair highlighted before sectionals too.

And I was thinking
a little Botox wouldn't hurt.

For who?
You don't want to be frowning when you skate.

The judges like a nice,
calm, smooth face.

You don't know
what the judges like.

Good taste is universal, dear.

Besides, I'm just looking out
for your best interests.

Didn't I warn you about Mattie?

Hey, Heather.
Why did you lie to me?

Was it all a con
to see what I was planning?

See what I was wearing,
hear my music?

I never lied to you.
You said you weren't skating anymore, but you are.

I even shared my secret
potato chip stash with you.

Hello?
It's Mercury.

I'm really liking the CR-V.

Really?
That's excellent news.

Listen, if you're
not busy tonight,

I thought maybe you'd like to grab a bite to eat.

You mean, like, a date?
A date, date?

Yeah, I guess,
if you're not busy.

- Well, actually I am busy.
- Oh.

I'm having dinner with you.

Okay, so you take
the outside edges

and fold them in the middle to hide the edges,

and then you break it

in three, like this.

Okay, we'll try that again.

Aw. I never saw my mom
do it like this.

Well, now you know.

Sort of.

Aunt Ginger,
can I ask you something?

Well, I don't know if I can answer,
but fire away.

If you don't tell someone,

like, exactly what you're doing,

it's not lying, is it?

Not that you're doing
anything wrong, but...

Well, that might depend
on who you're not telling

and what you're doing.

In my books, lie to no one.

I mean, if you love them,
be honest with them.

They deserve it, and so do you.

And if you don't love them,

why go to the trouble
of lying, right?

Okay, here.

Try a bigger one.
Try the biggest one.

All right. Outside.

Mattie,
you can talk to me.

Honey, what's the matter?

I lost my only friend
I had at school.

What happened?

I lied to her.

I didn't mean to, but...

I did.

And I lied to you too.

I think it's great
that you gave Mattie a job

and that you got her such
a fantastic sports doctor.

On top of that, apparently
you're coaching her for free.

Did you think she's an orphan?

Or are you just
trying to play hero?

Well, guess what...
I don't believe in heroes.

She told me she told you.

She told me she was
coaching little kids.

Do you even have kids?
You don't, do you?

It was your responsibility
to make sure I knew.

Parental consent...
ever hear of it? I'm sorry.

You shouldn't be filling her full of dreams that can't happen.

That's what you think...
that this can't happen for her?

Not on my salary.

I'll cover the cost.

No. I've taken
enough handouts.

This is not a handout.
Really? What is it, then?

I want a champion,
and I think Mattie's it.

What about her knee?
She's doing rehab.

It's strong
and getting stronger.

Kelly, you've got to let her skate.

You were a skater.
You know exactly what this means.

Look, I don't have a lot going on in my life.

- That's obvious.
- Not since my wife died.

I'm sorry.

Mattie needs this.
Maybe I need this just as much.

And maybe so do you.
Maybe together, we have a shot.

Okay, Mattie,
let's do the whole program.

Okay.

Turns out Angel is available,

so we're taking
the ice after all.

You canceled.
Mattie has the ice.

We paid for it,
so we're un-canceling.

Heather, go get
your skates on, sweetie.

Can you help her? It's okay.
You stay with me, honey.

Kelly, I heard
you were back in town.

We've missed you.
I had no idea you were Heather's mother.

Well, insight never was
your strong suit.

Heard the modeling thing
didn't work out, huh?

And you ended up
hawking used cars.

Oh, and Mickey left you?

Not true, but this isn't
about you and I, is it?

No, this is about my daughter,
and I'm not gonna let you mess with her.

Look, you take half the ice,
we'll take the other half.

You want us to share the ice
after we've paid for it?

There's plenty of ice.
It's that way or the highway.

Well, look who's been making
friends here already.

That was very tense.

I love drama.

Mickey.
Wild Mickey P. Yeah.

Rose and I were 19,
both skaters,

and she fell hard for him.

Let me guess... He fell for you.

So Mattie is the daughter
of two skaters.

Yep.

Heather!

Enough!
Get off the ice now!

You can't blame Mercury
for being mad at you.

I mean,
what if you hurt yourself doing something so stupid?

And all the hard work
that you've done,

all the hard work he's done to get you into sectionals?

He got me in?
Yeah, he said he would.

Wow!

Heather, you can't
let her beat you.

You're better than she is.
You are.

Now, promise me that
you're gonna win.

Heather, are you listening?
Promise me that you're gonna beat her.

And how can I promise you that?

It's called the law
of intention, Heather.

You just make the intention.
It has to be crystal-clear.

Your intention needs to be,

"I'm gonna beat
this girl."

And, well, obviously,
anybody else.

Right, shouldn't
her intention just be

to be the best she can be?

No. That's not a very
worthwhile intention, Henry.

Oh, sometimes you're so thick.

No.

Promise me that
you're gonna beat her.

Yes, Mom.

"Yes, Mom" what?

Promise I'll win.

Honey, I think
you've had enough, yeah?

Mattie's gonna need
an amazing costume.

We'll be her official sponsor.
I'll call Ross.

Ross? He's my BFF.
Works for the Ice Capades.

He'll whip up a costume
in, like, a week.

Guarantee you it'll be stunning.

Oh, my gosh!
This is exciting!

Palladino's first skater!

Are you all right, honey?

Are you eating something?
No.

Yes, you are.
What are you eating? Uh, nothing.

Give it to me.
No! No!

Potato chips?

Really?

Empty calories,
full of fat, full of grease,

bad for your skin,
for your figure.

Are you sabotaging yourself?

No, you're sabotaging me.

Did I raise a loser?

No.
I don't think so.

Heather, I'm only thinking about you here, okay?

You need to do whatever it is you need to win the competition, right?

Okay.
Failure's not an option.

Potato chips
are not part of that.

Are you crying?

No, I just got a little
piece of potato...

potato chip in my eye.

Heather took them!
Hey, you don't know that.

Yes, I do!
What matters is getting you another pair of skates.

Even if Mercury

finds some skates that fit,

you won't have time
to get used to them.

And with the knee,

maybe it's best
we just sit this one out.

Come on.
You're young.

There's plenty of competitions ahead for you.

I'm competing, Mom.

One way or another,
I am competing.

Look what I found
in the garage.

Clearly, I keep
everything.

All right, what size are you?

Like, an eight and a half.
Eight and a half.

Let's see what
we can find in here.

Oh, my goodness.
Oh, my God.

Here are your skates.

These were custom made
for your mother.

Oh, they need a little
sharpening, but...

Come on.
Let's try them on.

- Wouldn't it be great?
- These might be magic.

It's gonna work.

I can loosen them
a little bit more.

Pull up on it.
It's too tight.

Let's just loosen...
They won't fit!

Forget it.

I'm sorry I ever
started skating again!

I can't believe...
Sorry about that.

Heather, the fabric doesn't lie.

- It's too tight.
- You had them make it too tight.

Don't be ridiculous.
We're gonna have to let this out.

Do you know what?
I'm not competing.

Do not...
Do not pull this on me now, okay?

Not after everything I've put out for you.
What you've put out?

What about what I've put out?

The abuse I take from you.

It's not abuse, Heather.
It's guidance.

I am trying to help you
become a better person.

You just want me to win.
Of course I want you to win.

I'm not competing.

I'm not.
It's my decision.

No, it isn't.

Not after everything
I've sacrificed for you,

the number of days I have spent in that cold arena drinking bad coffee.

You'll compete, and you'll win.

Do you understand me?
You will compete, and you'll win.

Hello?
Wow. Really?

Wow.
You're kidding.

I'll tell her.

Honey, you're not
gonna believe this...

Your skates are back.

Really?
Yes.

Oh, honey.

Very sassy.

Thank you, Palladinos.

Oh, put it on, put it on.
I want a fashion show.

You okay?

Yeah.

Maybe a little nervous.

Mattie,

no matter what happens,

I want you to know
how very proud I am of you.

Honey,

and I want you to do
one thing for me tomorrow.

What's that?

Go out there and have
the time of your life.

You're doing what you love,

so go and skate your heart out.

Good night, baby.

Good night.

Not bad. She was good.
Better than I thought. Yeah.

Wasn't that wonderful?

We love you.
We love you, Mattie! Yeah!

Hey, kid.
How you feeling? Good.

Someone wants to meet you.
Tessa Virtue.

It's so nice to meet you.
Nice to meet you.

I saw you win your gold medal.
How's the knee feeling?

A lot better, thanks.
Good.

You've earned this.
You're gonna be great. Thank you.

Well, I just wanted to wish you luck.
Have fun.

Thank you.
Thanks.

That was nice.
You all set? Yeah.

And up next, folks,
from Parry Sound, Ontario,

Suzie Kado,

here competing for the regional championship title.

Holy moly, these kids are good.
Can Mattie top this?

We'll see.

And up next, folks,
from Parry Sound, Ontario...

Ronnie Daas,
Dina Evangelisti, Lori Sawka.

The mark for Lori is

89.97.

Lori will be disappointed
with that score.

148.23,

the combined score
for Ruth Webster.

And up next, folks,
is Mattie Dane.

Go, Mattie!

Mattie Dane
is just back on the ice

after a recent
serious knee injury.

Now, that's what we all call
a true competitor.

Oh, my God.
I can't look.

And breathe.

The score for
Mattie Dane's long program

is 102.30,

giving her
a total score of 158...

What place?

You're in...
You're in first. First.

You're in first!

The next skater,

from Lively, Ontario,

representing the Sudbury Skating Club,
is Heather Lear.

She looks gorgeous.

Quiet!

Heather?

Folks, there seems
to be some problem.

Let her go, kiddo.
This is yours.

She's my friend.

Wow.

Heather, what are you doing?

I'm the one.

I took your skates.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I'm so sorry.

But you brought them back.
I'm sorry.

You deserve to win, Mattie.

I don't deserve to skate,
not after what I did.

You have to get back
out there, Heather.

It's not fair to anybody,
especially yourself.

Just look at me.

I'm a mess.

No.

You're the black swan,

and you look just how
the black swan should...

beautiful.

Thank you.

Heather!

Thirty seconds to get back on the ice,
or you're disqualified.

Come on. Thirty seconds
to rock and roll.

Come on.
Go.

Go, Heather.
Please?

Do it for me.

Yes!

She's crying.
Brilliant strategy.

Adding drama to the moment...

Look.
The judges can't take their eyes off her.

I didn't think she had it in her.
Good girl. Shut up, Rose.

Seriously, not another word.

Sh... Not a word.

Class move, kid.
Class move.

You would've done the same.

Nope.
Not a chance.

Okay, Heather, let's do this.

That's it.

She only did a double.

It was perfect,

and so is she.

Way past time
you realized that, Rose.

Our daughter is perfect
just the way she is.

It's too bad you can't see that.

I feel sorry for you.

She is perfect, isn't she?

Oh, she's great.

Thank you.

I'm so proud of you, honey.
Oh, Mom!

157.75.

Our winner is...

Mattie Dane!

Ladies and gentlemen,

it's time for
the medals ceremony.

What a competition.
Three young ladies

here on the podium,
but many more

that entertained us
and gave us a fantastic day.

And we have a special guest,

an Olympic gold medalist,

to present the medals herself...
Tessa Virtue.

If you would,
please grab the bronze medal

and present it to Suzie Kado!

The silver medal
to Heather Lear!

And now, the winner,

our gold medalist, Mattie Dane.

- Way to go, Mattie.
- Thank you.

Mattie Dane will be representing us at the nationals.

Thank you.
