Hit the Floor (2013–…): Season 1, Episode 6 - Lights Out - full transcript

This season on Hit the Floor...

You were an original Devil Girl,
coolest first job ever.

- Babe, you're doing it?
- I don't know.

If you think you can come in here
and take one of our spots...

- Ahsha? Don't be late.
- Oh, my God!

- Listen, be careful.
- I will.

- The girls are not my responsibility.
- Wrong.

Ahsha is your responsibility.
She's your daughter.

If she finds out about this,
it'll tear her away from me

- just when she needs me the most.
- I won't tell Ahsha that I am her father.

It's one thing to perform
in front of this crowd,



but to perform
in front of your daddy too?

- My what?
- Pete Davenport, your father.

Is it true?
You told me it was a one-night stand!

- I know it's so confusing right now.
- You lied to me.

I want to talk about Ahsha.

If you want to dig up the bones from
that night, it's not gonna happen.

I screwed up the one good thing in
my life and I wrecked the hell out of it.

- You want a drink?
- How do you want me to handle Ahsha?

You're just gonna have
to start from scratch.

Didn't I hear your coach say
something about

no messing around between
Devils and Devil Girls?

- Technically you're not a Devil Girl.
- I don't think my boyfriend cares

about your technicalities.

- What are you scared of out there?
- I'm supposed to be doing



the super-smoking solo shot
and it's not happening.

- When does your head clear?
- When I dance.

- I just go.
- So go.

- I'm Jelena Howard.
- What you did to Ahsha was foul.

- Derek is an excellent coach.
- He coaches ball?

Actually I was talking about him
coaching Ahsha at the calendar shoot.

He helped her nail it.

- What do you think you're doing?
- Don't you want to give to charity

and dance with your girl?

- You know she has a boyfriend?
- Yeah, not exactly competition for you.

- You want to dance?
- I'm not up for it.

I remember you used to dance
like a tornado.

That was a long time ago.

You want to dance?

If I were to have stayed with Pete,
I would have died.

Getting pregnant saved my life.

Before I knew who my father was,
I could make him anyone I wanted.

Now that I know the reality,
I don't want to know any more.

- Mia's gone? When?
- Last night.

Mia, the point of you getting gone
was staying gone.

This was delivered here for you.

Call me again and I stop being so nice.

Remember that dancer? The one
who took off right before the tryouts?

- She's reaching out.
- You need to find out where she is.

Already done.

I went to Mia's apartment.
Was she an escort?

Oscar is buying you all new uniforms.

As you know, all that he asks
is that the old ones be turned in.

We have an authentic
Devil Girls uniform

worn by Mia,
a member of last year's team.

Congratulations.
She's yours to play with for $7,000.

The microphone's still out there.

Santa Ana's have officially
ruined my garden.

That and you have no green thumb.

- You're freaking me out.
- I'm just stupid happy that you're home.

I'm home, but I'm not home, home.
You know I live with German now.

I know German's apartment
is the size of a Quaker Oats' box

and I know that boy can't cook
as good as I do.

At least at German's there's also
real junk food in the house.

Just because it's vegan
doesn't mean it isn't real.

Just because it's the size of a Quaker
Oats' box doesn't mean it isn't home.

I've got to jet.
There's a big game tomorrow.

Stay.

Baby steps.

Five, six, seven, eight.

Punch, punch, punch,
kick, kick, slide, kick.

And one, two, three, four. Around.

And one, two, three, four,
five, six, seven, eight.

This good enough
for your precious game tonight?

We need bigger.

Dallas knocked us
out of the playoffs last year.

This game is sold-out.
We're gonna be wall-to-wall press.

We need spectacle.

You heard him, ladies.
Barrel combo. From the top.

Excuse me. Miss Howard.
Your car alarm's going off.

Oh, this wind. 'Ll be back in 15.

- Don't get comfortable.
- Ladies.

You know,
the Santa Ana winds do more

than knock down trees
and set off car alarms.

What are you talking about?

They're always blowing up
someone's skirt.

The hot Santa Anas
always lead to hot sex.

It's a thing. And you don't know that
'cause you're not from here.

And you're not from here either.
How do you know?

'Cause mine was the skirt
that got blown up.

Mark my words.
Someone's hooking up.

Keep an eye out for guilty faces.

- What?
- Nothing.

- You look fine.
- I look fine?

Well, you could look better,
that's all I'm saying.

Oh, good, I thought you were saying
something really horrible to me.

Maybe if you try this.

Oh, wow. This is gaudy.

Oh, no, I'm sorry. It's cute.

I thought it was a joke.
I don't own any costume jewellery.

That's not costume jewellery.

This is real? Like, real-real?

- How much did this cost?
- It doesn't matter.

It kind of does.

- Germ, these are diamonds.
- You deserve them.

I'm serious.
How much did this cost?

- Five.
- Five what?

$5,000?
Where did you get the money for this?

I had it.

That was your money for grad school.
You blew it on a bracelet?

I spent it on you.

Thank you would be nice.

What were you thinking throwing your
Masters away for a piece of jewellery?

Derek Roman paid $100,000
for a piece of you!

He didn't pay me.
It was a dance for charity.

Do you think I can be bought?

Well, you seemed pretty impressed.

But hey, what do I know?

I'm just some idiot in a polyester suit
watching from the sidelines.

You told me
it was okay to dance with him.

I wasn't going to stop you.
You should have stopped yourself!

Are you kidding me?
Maybe I should move back home.

We didn't argue
when we weren't living together.

- So now you want to move out?
- I don't want to move out.

I want to stop arguing
and I want my boyfriend

to stop treating me like a hooker.

Sweet Jesus.
It's the end of days out there.

If you hadn't have pulled up
when you did,

my rocking chair would be halfway
to Pasadena by now.

Always here to help, ma'am.

- So, what brings you around?
- I need a reason?

I saw you and Ahsha
holding hands at the auction.

Yeah. We turned a corner.

Not quite there yet, but we're heading
in the right direction.

That's great.

Ahsha and I drove off a cliff.
She doesn't want anything to do with me.

Sorry.

Yeah, well, when you spend your life
making stupid decisions,

you're gonna eventually be
judged for them.

And the stupidest decisions
I made were the ones that hurt you.

Sloane, there are so many things
that I want to say to you

and I'm sure there's plenty
that you want to say to me.

Pete, I don't want to give you
the wrong idea. I just...

Sloane, don't, I mean, don't even...
Please, you don't have to...

I don't even know what that was.
I was just...

I was just saying...

- careful with the wind.
- You, too.

Five, six, seven, eight.

One, two, three, four,
five, six, seven, eight.

One, two, three, four,
five, six, barrel turn.

One, two, three, four,
five, six, seven, eight.

One, two, down to the floor.

Good. Not great.

- Again.
- I'm sorry, Miss Howard, your car alarm.

You've got to be kidding me.

Yes.

- That's the face of death.
- Do you have a minute?

I need to talk to someone and you're
the only one around here I can trust.

- Yeah, what happened?
- I had a fight with German.

Spill it.

Actually, I just remembered
I need to be somewhere.

Ahsha. Hey.

That was weird.

- I'm sorry.
- Well, hello, handsome.

- Don't be shy. I'm not.
- I'm looking for Ahsha.

Oh, God, I knew the insecure boyfriend
was gonna show up at some point.

What's wrong with you?
Have a fight with your boyfriend?

You're the last person
I'm talking relationship problems with.

So there are problems.

Hello?

Who's there?

Mia.

The power's out
in the entire goddamn arena.

Why the hell is
the backup generator not on?

We have a game tonight,
a huge game, a sold-out game.

Get the power back on
and get it on now.

There is no "or else".

What happens if you don't get
the power back in time?

We're getting power back.

You don't look so good, Mia.

I haven't slept in days.
I can't stop moving.

They found me. They found me
and it's all your fault.

And it's gonna take more than cash
to get rid of me this time.

- Not working?
- No, it was.

I just had
the quietest conversation ever.

Hey, don't take your fight
with your boyfriend out on me.

- We did not have a fight!
- It was about our dance, huh?

I left home so fast
I left my phone there.

You stormed out because of the fight.

- Where's your phone?
- It's in my locker.

Wonder if I could climb out of here.

Calm down, Lara Croft. They can't have
a game without me. They'll find us.

What are we supposed to do until then?

Be patient and wait.

He was crazy jealous, wasn't he?

Of course, dancing with him
was gonna bother me.

I mean, everybody's oohing and ahing
like he's something special.

He is not all that. He drops 100 Gs
to dance with her and that's okay?

I spend five grand
on a diamond bracelet

- and she freaks out on me.
- Diamond bracelet?

Yeah, she might as well have chucked it
at me on the way out of the door.

- Do you have it on you?
- Yeah.

I can't believe she didn't fall
to her knees over this.

I'm really good at shadow puppets.

Cheers Miguel right up.
Okay, check out this one.

It's Oscar sexually harassing himself.

That's good. Sorry,
I appreciate the effort, I just...

It's gonna take more than
shadow puppets to pull me out of this.

I'm a really good listener. Try me.

Ahsha is my daughter.

That's...

I... Sorry, I have to grab
some supplies out of the...

- Supply closet.
- Sorry. Be right back.

- How is your being on the run my fault?
- You told people where I was hiding.

- I didn't tell anyone anything.
- They found me.

You were the only one who knew.

The amount that
you were blowing up my cell,

you didn't try and bother anyone else?

Olivia.

You've clearly figured it out.
Be a stranger.

- I came here because I need your help.
- I gave you help.

You gave me cash.
I came to you scared and alone

and you wouldn't even let me tell you
what I went through that night.

You just forced money in my hand
and told me to go.

- That's what you needed.
- No, that's what you needed.

And in a twisted way
you think I was a threat,

you saw your chance
to get rid of me and you took it.

Your opinion of yourself
is as high as you are.

You're gonna make it up to me.

I need something
and you are gonna get it for me.

- What's that?
- My uniform.

You want your uniform?

For what? To dance around in?
Relive the days when you mattered?

One of my uniforms was auctioned off
at the charity weekend.

I left it in my locker.
I need you to track it down for me.

Olivia said she found that uniform
in your apartment

along with key cards to half the hotels
in Los Angeles.

My apartment? I was wearing that one
the night my place got broken into,

the night I left town.
It's not the one I need.

He doesn't have it either.
It's still out there.

Raquel. You couldn't have run out
of candles in the playground.

- Everything okay?
- Everything's fine. I just...

Coach Davenport told me something
and it's just...

I don't even know.
I can't say what it is.

It involves someone you work with,
someone that works for you.

Ahsha?

I know.

I also know you have feelings for him.

How?

I recognise that look on your face.

I've seen it before.

I can't help it, but Ahsha?
That's just too weird.

Raquel, this is your MO.

You follow your heart and ignore
your brain. You did it with Jesse.

Trust me. Pete Davenport is not
a road you want to go down.

You know what they say.

Santa Ana's are baby makers.

Thumb war?

It's been 100 years.
I thought you were important.

Relax. Enjoy yourself.

What was that?

Hello?

Yeah, I got your message.
I've just been busy.

I'm not lying.
Right after the game I went to treatment

and then I had
a press conference and...

Look, I'm sorry, tell me what
you want me to say and I'll say it.

What the hell? You said
you left your phone in your locker.

That doesn't give you the right
to hang up on my call.

No, it gives me the right
because I'm not gonna sit here

and listen to you have a dumb fight
with some dumb girl.

That's not some dumb girl.
That's my mother.

Why would you lie
about not having your phone?

What did you think, that I was just gonna
do you right here in the elevator?

Fine, you know what, yeah.
I want to have sex with you. Deal with it.

There. I dealt with it.

The backup generator's gonna
take hours before it's up and running.

We don't have hours. I can delay
the game but I can't cancel it.

Ticket sales, broadcast fees.
I'm not taking that kind of hit.

You've got till 8:30
to get it going for a 9:00 game.

- What if we can't?
- You will.

Get it done.

Chase?

What are you doing here?

Chase.

- I freaked you out.
- What?

- I freaked you out.
- No. Ahsha and I are friends.

And I just dropped this on you.
I'm sorry.

I... I just found out myself
and I haven't had to tell anyone yet.

- I'm the first?
- You are the first.

Why are you just finding out?

I haven't always been the nicest guy.

- I used to roll with guys like Jesse.
- You are nothing like Jesse.

He never told me anything
and what he did tell me was a lie.

You... You got rid of Jesse for me.
You're my hero.

What's wrong
with hearing you're a great guy?

Okay, you may want people
to think you're this gruff lost cause.

You may think that yourself but...
I see you for who you really are.

You're a good man, Pete Davenport.

Why'd you stop?

Raquel, you are beautiful and amazing

and there was a time that I would
take this all the way if I could and...

I want to be a different guy.

L got to go, - Okay.

What's so important
about this stupid uniform?

It's got proof that
could give me my life back.

In that case,
maybe I should get to it first.

- You'll have to beat me and Oscar.
- Oscar?

I'm not trying to get
on Oscar's bad side.

Just tell me where it could be
and I'll find it myself.

We got new uniforms.

It's either in the trash where it belongs
or some other girl got stuck with it.

Haunt them. I'm out.

I could have gone pro like Derek.

I could be paying $100,000
to dance with Ahsha.

Man, if I didn't choke when I got scouted,
everything would be different.

- Honey, you were never going pro.
- Excuse me?

You're four-foot nothing. I don't care
how big of a star you were in college.

You're Jiminy Cricket next to the guys
in the pros.

- Nate Robinson is 5' 9".
- Here comes the laundry list.

Avery Johnson was 5' 10".

Spud Webb, Charlie Criss,
Isaiah Thomas...

Obviously you have a hard time
facing the facts.

You're talking to the right person,
because I'm all about facts.

I'm gonna help you.
One broke bitch to another.

You're worried
you choked away your opportunity.

You didn't. You never had a chance.

You're worried Derek Roman
wants to have sex with Ahsha.

He does, for sure.

I mean, he's hit on her 100 times
from Christmas.

He has 30 million in his bank account.

If he wanted to buy her an island,
he could.

I play Derek's game.

If he was hitting on me
and paid $100,000 for a dance,

I'd give him this, that
and everything in between.

If he offered to buy me an island,
I'd ask for two

and then I'd give him more pleasure
than a Princess Cruise.

Ahsha?
Ahsha doesn't play Derek's game.

Ahsha plays your game.

By buying her this, you pulled a Derek
move on a gym teacher's salary.

Game over. Your whole brawl with
Care Bear is your fault, not hers.

Baby.

What's going on?

Whenever you're like this,
something's wrong.

Work crap.

Liv, no one wants to see me
as a businessman.

It's like, all they want to do is
talk about that game back in '92.

It was a great game.

You don't even know
which one I'm talking about.

That's because
they were all great, baby.

I know what it's like
not to be taken seriously.

It just makes you want to work
that much harder to make them.

They'll see.

Trust me.

Do you know how many numbers
I had on this phone?

I'm sure your phone has herpes.

Don't be a million dollar baby.
You get everything you want.

You won't die without your phone.

I may be a million dollar baby
that gets whatever he wants,

but you're a dancer
that doesn't know how to have fun.

- Says who?
- Says me.

Look, every time I see you
you're stressed the hell out.

And every time I see you, you're
pretending to be someone you're not.

You don't even know
what you're talking about.

"Well, hello, ladies. Oh, I'm a fan
of a whole bunch of things."

"You want me to dance?
Oh, I'll dance for you."

You and your stupid pick-up lines.
Your stupid grand entrances.

With your dollar-store hookers
under each stupid arm,

your ridiculous oil paintings,
your popping bottles.

It's all to cover your insecurities.

Insecurities you can't hide from
when off this elevator

and go home to your big, great,
stupid, empty house!

I didn't... I didn't mean...

The whole no pictures
of your family in your house thing.

When I asked you,
you were like, whatever.

You said you and your mom were cool.
Were you lying?

Don't.

- You were just arguing with her.
- Ahsha.

We're stuck on an elevator,
why not talk about it?

- Because I don't want to.
- I do. Be honest for once in your life.

You want to be Captain Save-A-Ho,
but I'm not some dude you need to save.

I'm a dude you want to have sex with,
but you can't handle it.

- I do not!
- Look, you be honest.

Admit it. Admit that you want me.

You wanted me from the minute
you saw me, just like I wanted you.

Your ego is unreal.
Your head is so far up your...

- What are you doing here?
- I came to say sorry.

What I said earlier.

Having you back is
having an effect on me.

I mean, it's bringing up feelings,

well, feelings that you've had
20 years to forget.

L just... I'm sure you put me
to bed a long time ago.

You're right. I have.

What happened?

Tree branch smashed
through my window.

Scared the hell out of me. I boarded it
up the best I could. Watch out.

I haven't cleaned up all the glass yet.

Yeah, well, you used
one and three quarter inch screws here

and this board is a monster.

You have to drive those
in at least two and a half

and you have two boards here,
so you've got a seam here.

You need bracing for the entire seam
and some people say you have to put

bracing screws 6 inches apart.
I'd say four.

Pete.

Shut up.

My life may be a show. I may have
ridiculous oil paintings and insecurities,

but you want me.

I never said that.

You just did.

- Everything okay in there?
- Yeah, everything's cool.

Lipstick.

You're right. I screwed up.

How bad is it?

Go home. Talk to her there.

You're after this, that
and the other thing.

What's your end game?

$757,432.86.

That's a specific amount.
What does that buy?

Freedom.

We've got 45 minutes
to get this game off.

Open up parking,
get people's asses in seats, ASAP.

You city hall paper pushers
are lucky that this was just a game.

This arena's an emergency evacuation
site. This could have been a disaster.

It's more than just
the backup generator!

The whole arena needs upgrades
and the benefits don't match the cost.

I am building a new arena and let me tell
you something, it's not gonna be here.

Either you let me into Hollywood
or I'm taking the Devils somewhere else.

- The lights are on.
- Yeah.

- I got to get to the arena for the game.
- Yeah, sure.

Yeah, sure.

So, do I need to...
Maybe I need to, or we need to...

We don't need to.

- We should probably just pretend...
- Right, yeah, agreed.

It was nice, you know...

- Bye.
- Okay, bye.

Bye.

All right, listen up.

Twitter's gone fail whale with all
the jokes about our power going out.

- We need to get in on the joke fast.
- How?

We're going dark. I'm having facilities
set up black light as we speak

and remember your marks
because if you miss one,

you're breaking something.

- Everything okay, Ahsha?
- I'm fine.

I'm just not really feeling well.

Oh, well, too bad your boyfriend's
not here. He always makes you smile.

Ladies and gentlemen,

please put your hands together
for the Los Angeles Devil Girls!

Did somebody turn out the lights?

Plans for the new Hollywood arena
are back in play.

How? City said not a chance in hell.

That was before I had
the backup generator disabled.

Preparation plus opportunity
equals success.

I'm hopeful
what this could mean for me.

You should be.

- How was the game?
- Good.

I returned that bracelet.

Good.

Next time on Hit the Floor...

I thought we were gonna stop this.

You put me in a crappy spot.

- You don't understand.
- Help me understand.

The numbers came in for
the calendar shoot. They're huge.

Oh, my God, is that Akon?

- You're fired.
- He didn't just miss one game.

- He didn't even get on the plane.
- What's going on?

Having people to push you in the right
direction makes all the difference

- and I feel like I have that person.
- Nice interview.

- You ruined the rotation.
- Instead of riding me,

why don't you focus on Terrence?

- What's that supposed to mean?
- He wants to be traded.
