Hit the Floor (2013–…): Season 2, Episode 2 - Passing - full transcript

Previously on Hit the Floor:

If people found out,
that'd be it for me.

I want you,
but we have to keep it a secret.

Remember that Ohio small forward?
I bought him.

- Zero, Pete.
- And one, two.

- Jelena Howard, Captain.
- Sloane Hayes, Director.

- This is a business.
- I know how you do business.

- Isn't that...?
- My wife.

Until our divorce,
those seats are 50 per cent mine.

You are the sexiest woman
I've ever laid eye on.

I'm way too much woman for you.



- How do I come up with 350 grand?
- Who are these dudes?

- High rollers that come to games.
- A good place to start.

If you keep playing, you could blow out
your knee. It will end your career.

- Good luck with your cheerleaders.
- They're dancers.

Great.

Olivia's planning on showing up
at the ground-breaking.

If she does something stupid,
I'm holding you responsible.

And so it is with great pride
that I break ground

on the Devils' new Hollywood arena.

Olivia.

Over this way, please.

Chase, any comment?
Any comment about your wife's murder?

My wife was an amazing woman.
She was the love of my life.

I'm gonna make sure whoever did this,
feels the pain I'm going through.



That's former Devils player
Chase Vincent

making a statement
about his wife's death.

Her body was discovered yesterday
on the construction site

for the new Devils arena in Hollywood.

Police have no suspects in custody
at this time.

Don't.

- Don't get too caught up in the circus.
- How can I not?

There are reporters swarming outside,
there are cops swarming inside.

It's surreal.

- I don't know if you can run away.
- I saw her. In the ground. I saw her.

Hey, hey. Come here. Come here.

Sorry to interrupt. Boss Mum's rounding
up the dancers for a heart-to-heart.

OK. Thanks. Be there in a sec.

This door locks. Just FYI.

- We need to be more careful about this.
- You mean us? We're careful enough.

- We're not. Someone just walked in.
- Kyle already knows.

- What if it was anyone else?
- It wasn't.

Dancers can't date players.
I can't lose my job.

So when outside your house,
there's no us.

No touching, no holding hands.
From now on, we keep our distance.

- Look, Ahsha...
- I've gotta go.

What happened to Olivia,
it's unthinkable.

Not something you just shake off.

So if any of you need to talk,
I'm here.

For now, I think it's best
if we cancel today's rehearsal

as well as tomorrow night's performance
at the L.A. County Museum of Art.

A word?

We're not canceling.

First, we don't make my decisions.

Second, I know you and Olivia
didn't exactly get along,

but you can understand we shouldn't be
out there doing high-kicks right now.

Olivia and I had our differences but she
would never cancel a performance.

It's respectful.

Respectful is doing
what she would've wanted.

The Devil Girls have never missed
an appearance.

You may not feel anything, Jelena,
but Olivia was murdered.

This is hardly
a "show must go on" situation.

Don't presume to know how I feel.

- You're too close to this.
- Excuse me?

You took the woman's job.

Your guilt is affecting
your judgment.

Having the girls dance now
makes the wrong statement.

Either way, we make a statement.

- Only one's gonna make Oscar happy.
- Oscar?

He wants the city to know
that we're still strong.

But if you want him thinking
you're weak...

- Do the police have a suspect?
- Not yet.

It's just terrible.
It hits me right here in my heart.

This is a PR nightmare.
My build site's a crime scene.

The city's shut down construction.
My $2 billion construction.

I've been on the phone
with my investors.

- You'll figure something out.
- I need a hand, Jude, not a hand-job.

I have to go to this LACMA thing,
show my face. The media...

- The media's something else.
- What can I do?

Get the word out.

Anyone divulging Devils business
will be dealt with.

- Can you handle that?
- Absolutely.

Yeah.
Well, that's just terrific, isn't it?

Someone was obviously sending
Oscar a message burying Olivia there.

Oscar's been funneling money
into this project

by getting his investors
to bet on games.

Fixing the point spread,
using casinos as middle men.

Plenty of people
he could've pissed off.

They could've chosen anyone
to send that message. Why Olivia?

Add her to the long list of bad things
that happen around Oscar Kinkade.

Well, all the security clearances
I got were revoked. Everyone's was.

There's new passwords, firewalls...

Because of what happened,
Oscar has the arena on lock.

Yeah.
The league lost all our ways in too.

What I'm trying to do just went
from difficult to impossible.

Or this might be the best thing that
could've happened to our investigation.

How can you say that?

Something this big doesn't go down
without kicking up new dirt.

Oscar just lost control,
and you are now the one person

in the one place
to take advantage of it.

No "thank you"?

If I thanked everyone who held
a door for me, I'd have no voice.

- I'll remember that on our date.
- Agreeing to that date

- was for Terrence's benefit, not yours.
- I don't care who you said it for.

You said yes.

This is gonna happen.
So dinner at The Ivy?

Or I can just hire Wolfgang Puck
to cook for us at my mansion.

I'm worth millions.

I don't know if you've heard,
but that doesn't impress me.

Sorry, Junior, you're not tall enough
to ride this ride.

You really think Terrence Wall's
the only one who deserves you?

Mark my words. By the end of the week,
we're going out on a date.

Because of what's going on,
I won't get a chance

to explain everything
you're gonna be doing.

- I can come back.
- Go find a film for the entire season

study it, learn it,
then give me your take on defense.

- Got it. Where should I set up?
- Right here.

- We need our first target.
- Maybe you should find a newspaper.

Someone's dead.

Well, life goes on.

Unless you wanna be Mrs Benny Wise
the rest of your life?

I cannot afford to be tied to that man.

He spends more time in a courtroom
than Dateline.

Him.

OK, who's Teddy Reynolds?

Easy mark.
We already had some fun together.

- Where?
- In Terrence Wall's locker.

His daddy runs a movie studio.
Heard he just gave him a slush fund.

Development money to make him think
he's a big-time producer.

Teddy's been buying lots of garbage
he's not doing a damn thing with.

- Like what?
- Well, he bought the rights to Pez.

Not the dispensers, just the candy.
That should be a good one.

Yeah.

A moviemaker who makes nothing.

That's something I can work with.

You wanted to see me?

How you holding up?

- Have you talked to your mother?
- Not really.

Listen, Sloane and Olivia,
their relationship was...

It was complicated.

So, it might not be a bad idea
if you tried to be there for her.

That's not why you wanted to see me.

I wish the timing was better, but I don't
want you to hear it from anybody else.

I'm seeing Raquel.

- Raquel. "Raquel" Raquel?
- "Raquel" Raquel.

But weren't you just with my mum?

When Sloane and I

reconnected, it brought up

old feelings for both of us.

But we didn't work back then,
and we just don't work now.

With Raquel,
we don't have all that baggage.

It just feels nice.

Is Raquel happy?

I think so.

Because she deserves to be.

I know.

Good.

- Good?
- Good.

Good.

So you decided not to cancel
the dance.

Well, it was important to Oscar.

Thanks for rebounding so quickly.

We're ready. Are you ready?

- Yeah, I think I got it covered.
- Olivia always double-checked

how much space we'd need
for the routine

against the floor plan of the venue.

Have you done that?

No.

I think the floor plan's M.l.A.

You'll get one later. For now,
I'll mark the dance, you tape it. OK?

OK.

OK, so...

We go about this far stage left.

I'm sorry,
where did the first count start?

Want me to do it again?

- How's your girl?
- What are you talking about?

The one I saw you walking out with
the other day.

Not totally offensive-looking.

It seems like you've zeroed-in
on someone new.

Unless I wasn't supposed to hear
the date you made in front of my face?

Don't flatter yourself.

You said you wanted me
to have a nice life.

This is what it looks like.

- Lionel.
- How are you, Pete?

- What are you doing here?
- Well, there was a death.

- Checking on people is thing to do.
- I'm fine.

- How's Chase? You talk to him?
- Why do you care?

We used to socialise
with Olivia and Chase.

- They've come to our house.
- You hated them.

You said Olivia was duller
than her natural hair color.

That doesn't make this
any less tragic.

I don't need you coming here
and checking in on me, OK?

I have someone.
We check on each other.

- Girl from the bar? Waitress? Rachel?
- Raquel.

And she's not a waitress,
she manages the club.

She can't be that important
if you're keeping her a secret.

- That'll change tonight.
- Why's that?

See, one of the nice things
about you and I divorcing,

I don't have to answer
your questions anymore.

- Hey.
- Hi.

My dad told me
you were working here.

I still can't believe it.
Me, coaching for the Devils.

You worked hard for this.

Ahsha, I know I wouldn't be here
if you hadn't given it your okay, so...

Thank you.

I'd never get in the way of your dream.
You've never got in the way of mine.

Coach, Coach.

- Welcome to the show, big baller.
- Derek.

This is gonna be great.

Now you get to watch
the magic up close.

I'm excited.

Good seeing you, Ahsha.

- What was that?
- What?

Did you not hear me yesterday?
You can't just rub up on me in public.

- I was saying hi to the new guy.
- You were being a dick to the new guy.

- Why did your dad hire him?
- My dad doesn't know about us.

He knows dude punched me
in the face.

Why would your gym teacher
even take this job?

German doesn't have the same
opportunities that you do, Derek.

I need you to be OK with this.

- Please, for me, for now.
- OK. No problem.

All right, I'll play nice, I promise.

Raquel.

Peter. Glad you could make it
on such short notice.

We need to put on
our best face tonight.

Yes, that's why I invited Raquel,
as my date.

- Are you crazy? Ahsha...
- She knows. I told her.

She cared more about you being happy
than me being happy.

Glad you could make it, Lionel.
You look stunning, as usual.

Thank you, Oscar.

I hear we may start seeing
you at games.

I can't tell you how delighted
that'd make me.

Would you excuse me?
Just for a minute.

Of course.

Lionel. Wow, you look...

Oscar heard I'll be coming to all
the games the rest of the season.

What was the condition
for that happening?

- No Pete and Raquel.
- And what is that right there?

- Pete and Raquel.
- I wasn't sitting courtside while

he was screwing another woman
on the down-low.

I'm not sitting there
while he's screwing her in public.

- I'm not taking that kind of a press hit.
- I'll fix it.

In the meantime, I'm leaving.
Tell Oscar goodbye for me, would you?

Ladies, OK. Ready?

Beautiful. Beautiful.

Don't you just hate PDAs?

They do make a good-looking couple,
though.

OK, ladies.

Don't know what you think you saw.

You didn't know at all.

Lost sight of who you are.

No, no.

Can I make a connection?

Force myself in a dimension?

Lost sight of myself.

No, no.

If I could force my heart
My ears, my mind.

And eyes to get in line.

Maybe I'd find something real
Not a fantasy so divine.

Let myself down each time.

Let myself down each time.

How could you be
What I wanna see?

When my reality.

Could never live up
Could never live up.

To the fantasy.

How could you be
What I wanna see?

When my reality.

Could never live up
Could never live up.

To the fantasy

Sarah, hi. Sloane Hayes.

I'm so glad you could come.

- So, how you holding up?
- I'm not.

I still can't believe it.

Listen.

I know you quit after Olivia left,

but I could sure use a good assistant.
Someone who knew all her ins and outs.

I didn't quit. Oscar fired me.

I'm sorry.

I really could've used you.
I can't find even the simplest thing.

Her desktop has nothing on it.

- Oscar had it wiped clean.
- Why would he do that?

I think it was just to spite her.

He said she resigned, but she didn't.
He let her go.

Probably why she was planning
to come to the ground-breaking.

- To chew him out.
- She planned on being there?

- Well, good luck to you Sarah.
- You too.

Hope you don't mind
I'm still in my work clothes.

I had a Devils event tonight
and didn't get a chance to change.

I skipped out on the after-party
just for you.

I don't mind.

It's just another amazing night
in my little old life story.

They're blank.

When I procure rights,
there's usually a logline, a treatment...

When I bought Lucky Charms,

there was a box
with a maze on the back.

That was awesome. I finished it too.

If you're willing to pay $50,000
for the rights to my life story,

I thought it'd be better
if I just showed you.

This is the story of a small-town girl,

the daughter of a preacher,

who takes over Hollywood,
one star at a time.

This is a pretty good story.

I recently spent some time
with a couple of actors.

Now, I can't name names,
but let's just say they were brothers,

and only one of them
was an Avenger.

He let me hold his hammer, Teddy.
You like to hammer?

- I like to hammer, Kyle?
- Yeah? Yes? Yeah? Are you in, Teddy?

- I'm in.
- Oh, yes.

- I'm in.
- Yes.

Get away from her.

There's been a mistake.

- You bet your ass.
- What are you doing?

He was hurting you.
You were screaming.

I'm not the quiet type.

You're an investment.
I was protecting my investment.

This is why I work alone.

Goddamn.

I prayed and God gave me a vision.

You and me naked on a beach
under the stars.

My private jet's waiting
to fly us to Cabo right now.

Tweet me the pics.

- Pete. There you are.
- Oscar need me for something?

Actually, I do. There's a certain female
I wanted to talk to you about.

Someone I got my eye on. Sloane.

Sloane?

- What about her?
- Ls she single?

You'd have to ask her that.

I heard she was pretty wild
back in the day.

You both were.

Yeah, well,
that was a long time ago, Jude.

- Excuse me.
- I'm serious.

From what I've picked up,

she's not qualified
for that director's gig,

so she had to do something for Oscar
to get it.

I might have some work for her.

Satisfied? He's gone.

I think you owe me an apology.
You were very mean to me back there.

You know, I had him on the hook.
Now he's running around town

with a crazy story about Kyle Hart,
and that's not good for business.

I need to fix this. And I can't tomorrow
because I got Olivia's funeral.

What?

Hey, Teddy. It's Kyle.

Listen, darling,
I am so sorry about that guy.

He is just someone
I know who went off his meds.

You have to let me make it up to you.

How would you like a real
once-in-a-lifetime Devils experience?

All the players are gonna be there.

Jelena.

You need a ride?

If I didn't get into
your understated Escalade,

what makes you think I'm getting
into this ostentatious Aston Martin?

Well, from what I heard...

this is exactly what you'd wanna
pull up to Olivia's funeral in.

I go, I drink
I ball so much, I can't think.

- You OK?
- What are you doing here?

An extra set of eyes couldn't hurt.

Sorry for your loss, Chase.
Olivia was a rare woman.

- Looks like he pissed someone off.
- Yeah, me.

You did that?

You gave Oscar's son a black eye?

Oscar's never been
very protective of him.

You wouldn't believe
what he was saying.

About what?

Sloane.

- Nice shiner.
- See how far I'll go for you?

Apparently not far enough.

Give it time.

- You brought me to a funeral?
- Not any funeral.

Olivia Vincent's.
Director of the Devil Girls.

Look around.
The entire Devils Nation is here.

Just another day
in the extremely affordable life of me.

Hey. You ready?

I speak for all of the Devil Girls

in expressing our deep sorrow
at Olivia's passing.

Olivia Vincent was the Devil Girls.

She had strength...

beauty...

class.

She had big ideas
and an even bigger heart.

I know any time
any of us needed advice,

she was the first person we ran to.

I learned a lot from Olivia
these past four years.

I hope that when I'm her age...

I'm half the woman...

that sh... That she wa...

If I could just say a few words.

Grief takes many forms.

All we can be sure of is
mourning the loss of a loved one

is a very personal, profound journey.

Matthew 5, verse 4.

"Blessed are those that mourn,
for they shall be comforted."

God comforts us, loves us...

so that we will share that love
when we need it most.

From Him to us...

through us.

I didn't know Olivia.

But it's a testament to who she was
that you are all here.

May we all mourn her passing,
each of us in our own way.

And may we find comfort...

in each other.

- Amen.
- Amen.

Amen.

Oh-eh, oh, oh
Oh, let's play a game.

I am the predator
I'm gonna make you my prey.

I'm coming straight for your heart.

I know what I want and I don't play shy
So baby boy I'm gonna hunt you down.

Get wild get rough get loud, baby
Take me higher.

I'm an animal
I'm going in for the kill.

So don't stop, go hard, get hot
Let's start a fire.

I'm an animal
I'm going in for the kill.

At least she's got a five-star view.

Where have you been?

- Getting closer to God.
- Let's go.

Jelena.

Could you sign this?

He is out of his mind devastated,
poor dear.

Steady, Teddy. This is a funeral.

This is your life. I want it.

Well, get in line.

- Whoa, hey, I don't want any trouble.
- Me either. Off you go.

Look, I'm sorry about before,
but we're both producers.

- You get it.
- You're a producer?

You gotta fight for a woman like Kyle.
I have that chick

from those Hunger Games movies
begging to play her.

Told her to clean up
her Southern accent.

She sounds like
she got kicked in the mouth.

- Ninety-thousand.
- Teddy's gonna give me a cheque...

One-hundred thousand.

With him,
you'll get a movie of the week.

With me, you'll walk the red carpet
at the Academy Awards.

- Hundred and twenty-five.
- OK, let's not push our luck.

One hundred and fifty thousand?

- Take it or leave it.
- Take it.

- You're obviously the better man.
- She's worth it.

- Thank you, Teddy.
- No, thank you.

Best funeral ever.

I can't wait
to hear more of your stories.

That was nice. Only 200,000 to go.

You son of a bitch. This was your plan
from the beginning, to jack up the price.

- Still only like working alone?
- I thought you were protecting me

- when you busted into my apartment.
- Come on, Kyle.

I've heard a woman scream in pleasure
plenty of times.

See you.

- I can't believe she's gone.
- I know.

She's lovely.

I get to move on too, Sloane.

It's good, he thinks we're dating.

It is good.

- What's that about?
- Fighting the good fight.

We haven't had a chance to talk
since I helped bring Zero to L.A.

Look, I'm not his agent,
I know I'm not yours either,

but I wanna tell you, I'm still your guy,
if you need something.

We'll see.

I wanted to thank you
for being cool with me and Pete.

I know it has to be strange.

Not stranger than this.

Just promise me I'll never have
to walk in on the two of you.

Why would you say that?

Apparently I learned how not to lock
doors from my mother and father.

Catching them was one of the more
scarring moments of my life.

When was this again?

A couple weeks ago.

Right.

Raquel? Hey, Raquel.

You had sex with her, Pete.
Two weeks ago.

Wait, wait, wait. Let me explain.

I'm not gonna be your backup piece.

It's been a great first date.

This wasn't a date.

I picked you up in a fancy car,
took you somewhere black-tie.

I was your knight in shining armour.
We had biblical sex.

Sounds like a date to me.

It's crazy.

One minute someone can be here
and the next minute...

Derek, can you just stand here?
With me?

Over here.

Chase Vincent, you're under arrest
for the murder of Olivia Vincent.

- What are you doing?
- Hands, sir.

Are you crazy? I did not kill my wife.

I didn't kill my Wife.

We found the shovel used to bury her
in the trunk of your car. Let's go.

You have the right to remain silent.

Anything you say
can and will be used against you.

You have the right to an attorney...

Oh, my God.

I did not kill my wife.

Next time on Hit the Floor:

You came. I can't tell you
what this means to me.

How could you do this?

You want the Malibu house?
What is it you want?

Doesn't seem like a worthy adversary
for you.

She's gotten smarter. She's doing
something that'll get her fired.

- Pavli.
- Never should've let this one

out of your sight. Someone else
was bound to snatch him up.

You weren't kidding. Terrence
and Derek are on shaky ground.

See why I sold you on L.A.?

There's a murderer inside Devils Arena.
It's time to get out.
