Hit the Floor (2013–…): Season 2, Episode 3 - Behind the Back - full transcript

- Previously on Hit the Floor:
- My wife was amazing.

I'm gonna make sure
whoever did this

feels the pain I'm going through.

This is a PR nightmare.

Oscar just lost control. You are now
the one person to take advantage of it.

Divorce papers. Benny signed them.

Asked me to give them to you.
You gotta pay his debt.

One hundred and fifty thousand.

- Only 200,000 to go.
- You're sleeping with her.

I couldn't come to games

if my husband
is screwing a Playground employee.



- I'm on it.
- I'm not gonna be your backup piece.

Do you know
who I'm the girlfriend of?

Ex-girlfriend.

If you keep playing on it,
you could blow out your knee.

- A risk I'm willing to take.
- Dad told me you were here now.

Coach, Coach.
Welcome to the show, big baller.

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

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

You're under arrest
for the murder of Olivia Vincent.

I did not kill my wife!

- You came.
- How could you do this?

I can't tell you what this means.

- How could you do this?
- I didn't.

Chase.



The shovel was found in your trunk.

Dirt from where she was buried
was on it

and your fingerprints are all over.

I didn't kill Olivia.

But I did move her body.

This is the time
when girls start getting clingy.

Couple nights with me

suddenly I'm finding toothbrushes
in my drawers.

These reporters won't leave me alone.
Been hassling me all day.

You're not the only one.

Shocked. I don't know what to say.

I'm watching this play out just like you.
Excuse me. Excuse me.

Ahsha! Ahsha!

Who cares
what Ahsha Hayes thinks?

Obviously some people do.

Doesn't seem like a worthy adversary
for someone like you.

She's an annoyance.

But she's gotten smarter.

She's doing something
that'll get her fired

something she's been able
to keep hidden, even from me.

- But I'm working on it.
- You know,

I think this is the longest
conversation we've had.

Good point.

Shabu-shabu from Cookai doesn't
have the same appeal from a box.

You know we can't eat out.

We're shut-ins.

It's just the way it has to be.

We've been doing good
staying off the grid so far.

I haven't been doing anything.

You're the one working out
our secret meeting spots, taxis,

timing our arrivals at the arena.

Don't know if the Ahsha I met
months ago could've pulled this off.

When the only other option
is losing your job

you have to get creative.

Besides, there are some things
you can do here

that you can't do at a restaurant.

- Did you move my furniture around?
- It's feng. Something.

- My mother thinks I have bad energy.
- Can't imagine why.

But you never talk about family.

- They lend money, I collect it.
- How'd that get to be your job?

Because I don't get invested
in people's personal crap.

Boston's in town.
So our next target is a no-brainer.

Pavle Tipsarevic.
Great wall of Serbia.

He doesn't speak English. My head
hurts trying to communicate with you.

How do you say "married to Benny
until the day you die" in Serbian?

Chase Vincent will be receiving
a plea deal that will allow him

to walk out of prison
in 20 to 30 years.

For murder? That's all?

No one wants a long trial,
particularly me.

His signing will go a long way
towards removing the black eye

he's given this organization.

But it won't wipe it away completely.

Which is why I'm here.

Your agency represents Hollywood.

I want you to bring it
to the Playground tonight.

People get distracted
by shiny objects.

I want my investors distracted

till this Chase nonsense
is dead and buried.

Soto speak.

- Think you can handle that?
- Consider it done.

You moved Olivia's body,
but you didn't kill her.

- I know it sounds crazy.
- Even if it's the truth, it's crazy.

It's the truth.

You have to believe me.
Look, that's why I called you.

You always saw through him.
You know what he's capable of.

You're talking about Oscar.

Yeah. Look, I came home,

I found her body on the floor.

She fell from the upstairs landing.

The banister was wrenched
from the wall.

Her fingernails were dug in it.

I lost it.

I knew he did it.

And I knew he would get away with it,
like he gets away with everything.

Her body was the only weapon I had
to make him pay.

So I used it.

This is unbelievable.

- Why would I wanna kill Olivia?
- Why would Oscar?

She knew something.

Something she was gonna tell
the world at that groundbreaking.

What did Olivia know?

Sloane,

you think you know how bad
Oscar can be

but you have no idea.

The morning after the groundbreaking,
I drove out to Simi Valley

to chuck the shovel.

It wound up in my trunk.

He had me followed.

You and Oscar
became thick as thieves.

Now you want me to see you
as some innocent...

I'm not a saint,
but I'm not a murderer.

The truth?

It'll come out.

What did Olivia know?

Oscar was connected
to Mia Sertner's death.

Mia killed herself.

Connected how?

Olivia didn't tell me.

You want me to sign a plea deal.

- I have to go.
- Where are you going?

I need you on my side.

Goodbye, Chase.

Do you believe Chase is innocent?

A man capable of burying his wife
is certainly capable of killing her.

But?

I also believe

he'd spill any secrets he had
to get out of that jail cell.

And Mia is a big one. I mean,
to even bring her up in the first place

saying her death wasn't a suicide,
but a...

I'm an investigator for the league,
not a homicide detective.

- What are you saying?
- I'm saying it's time to back away.

We signed up for corruption,
not murder.

- Michael.
- Sloane, it's too dangerous.

There's a murderer
inside Devil's Arena.

It's time to get out.

Good evening.

Of course,
all of you know Lionel Davenport

looking stunning as always.

Oscar, you're too much.

Lionel. You have a second?

It's important.

Excuse me.

Chase won't sign the plea deal.

- Yes, I punched Jude over Sloane.
- I'm pretty busy here.

And, yes, we got back together to see
if there was anything between us.

But we are not together now.

You and I are. At least I hope we are.

- Pete, I really...
- Jude said something inappropriate

about the mother of my kid.

That's it.

If he had said anything about you,
I'd have broken his legs.

How about a beer?

Table six could use a refresh
while you're at it.

I'm all over it.

I am a sucker for Kiss Cam.

Make sure you get both of them on it.
Love is in the air.

I want everyone to see it.

The boy was right here.
He said he wanted your autograph.

- He had a whole sob story and...
- It's time for the Kiss Cam.

Oh, yeah, look at those sweethearts,
ladies and gentlemen.

Looks like we've got our very own
Devil Girl Ahsha Hayes!

Kiss, kiss, kiss.

Well, all right.

Yeah!

Five minutes.

As my mother or my boss?

Whatever gets you to listen.

One of my oldest friends
is in the ground.

The other is behind bars.

The one thing they had in common
is Devil's Arena.

I've told you,
no one walks away from it clean.

What are you saying?

It's time to go, honey.

There's other teams,
other opportunities.

You can use what you started here
to take you wherever you wanna go.

You want me to quit the Devil Girls?

I'll leave too. We can go together.

I'm sorry about Olivia and Chase.
I am.

But I'm not them. And I'm not you.

I have started something here.

Something great.

I don't wanna look back 20 years from
now and wonder if I made a mistake.

I understand if you need to go,
but I'm staying.

You are me.

Stubborn as hell.

Hey-

Zero.

Listen.

I don't know how to say this,
so I'm just gonna.

I had no idea you and Jelena
used to be a thing.

Ancient history. It's all good.

Someone told me
you only just broke up.

It was swift and decisive.
Don't worry about it.

I mean it, Terrence.
Say the word and I'll end it.

No looking back. Hand to God.

- I'm here to ball, not cause drama.
- I wouldn't be selling the restaurant

I named after her
if I was still hung up on her.

Listen, the only relationships
I care about are the ones on the court.

I need that ring.

In the Ohio locker room all we talked
about was how bad we felt for you.

Derek was obviously not pulling
his weight in the playoffs.

Some of the guys even joked
about it.

You don't have to worry about that
with me here.

I got your back.

Pavle!

How are you?

Thanks for driving on over
for little old me.

Still haven't cracked
that Rosetta Stone I got you, huh?

Pavle, you shouldn't have.

He didn't.

- Lexi?
- You never should've let this one

out of your sight.

Someone else was bound
to snatch him up.

Girlfriend.

Actually, Pavle, it's fiancé.

Fourteen carats?

Fourteen point two.

Gag on that irony.

I haven't heard from you all day.
Must be really busy.

Must be.

Okay, I'll take the initiative.

Dinner? You and me?
We can make reservations at Jelena's

while it's still around.

- Meaning?
- You haven't heard.

Terrence is selling it.

You don't wanna be tied down, Pavle.
You're too big and rich.

And that Lexi is as twisted
as Enrique Iglesias'...

Let's just say I've seen things.

Save it.

The only English he knows
is what I teach him.

Go find yourself another sucker.
This one's mine.

I give this three weeks, tops.

Actually, it'll be at least 18 years.

Me baby.

I'll translate for you. I'm pregnant.

These shots are for the website,
so look sharp.

There we go, there we go.
Arms are still. Look at that bad boy.

I can see Derek and Terrence
are on shaky ground.

Now, do you see
why I sold you so hard on L.A.?

- It's a land of opportunity.
- Come on.

Zero, get in there, buddy.
Let's get a ball each. There we go.

Zero, Zero, Zero.
You know the score.

And it's way more than zero.

Come on, Derek.
In you come, let's go, come on.

- HEY-
- HEY-

- Cool shoot.
- Yeah.

It's very cool.

- It was just Kiss Cam...
- Didn't mean anything.

- It was just a Kiss Cam.
- People were screaming.

- It was, you know, crazy.
- Yeah.

Yeah.

All right, I'll see you later.

All right.
Hang on, mate, let me reload.

Causing trouble with the Kiss Cam?

Little juvenile, no?

I'm just saying, I would've expected
something less simple

from Jelena Howard.

Then it must not be as simple
as it appears?

All right.

The Roman emperor.

Oh, mean and moody.

Mean and moody, Derek.
That's it, Derek.

- Derek saw the kiss.
- Are you serious?

I thought he was in the locker room.

Terrence. Come in, mate.
Terrence, in here for me,

and Jelena, in you come.
Let's get the couple together.

This is what the fans want, right?
Okay, let me see it.

- And a little happier would be.
- How much did you get for it?

For what?

- The restaurant.
- Okay, switch sides for me.

It's purely a business decision.

Really? Just business.

Just business.

It's an asset I don't need any more.

Taking five.

Ahsha isn't going anywhere.

And if she isn't,

neither am I.

Sloane, I really think
that's a bad idea.

Well, I'm sorry, Michael.

If you wanted a quitter,
you got the wrong girl.

Well, then,
looks like we need to find out

what Olivia had on Oscar.

Five minutes.

- Hello?
- Chase.

I was surprised to hear
about your lack of cooperation.

- There's a plea deal on the table.
- Why would I confess

to something I didn't do?

Your guilt, or lack thereof,
is inconsequential.

You'll sign because if you do,

you'll be able to walk
out of there in 20 to 30 years.

And if you don't,

well, the fact that we're even having
this conversation should tell you

there's nowhere I can't get to you.

Choice is yours, Chase.

Oscar's private jet,
with his compliments.

He's still high off the win.

Having Zero on the team
doesn't matter

because this trip
is not about basketball.

This trip is about me
taking you to San Francisco

for the date of your life.

No work, no Devil talk. Just us.

This seat taken?

Just us?

Oscar gave us the plane
for the night alone.

Well, I don't know anything
about that.

I'm just escorting Lionel
to a winery in Napa.

A little thank you from Oscar
for coming to the party.

I was under the impression
that this was a solo flight as well.

- At least it'll be a short flight.
- Exactly.

What could possibly happen
in 45 minutes?

She is not pregnant.

- This is a scam.
- So she ran a better game.

You missed your window,
we move on to the next one.

We don't play the same.
If you can't see the difference

between what she is doing and what
I'm doing, you are touched in the head.

I am not moving on.
Pavle needs my help.

Well, I need that 200 G's leftover
that your hubby owes.

- You'll get it.
- When did you go soft?

I feel for the guy, okay?
I know what's it like to get conned

- into a marriage.
- How did Benny con you?

He promised me the world.

Lexi invited me
to the engagement party.

She wants a gift,
being able to rub it in my face.

- And you're going?
- With a gift for Pavle.

I'm breaking them up.

I just don't know how yet.

- Hey you.
- Hey.

There's a new Thai place. I think their
stuff comes in fancy plastic containers.

Yeah, I... I gotta hit the showers.

We'll figure it out later.

Okay.

Pete, listen.

I'm really sorry about, you know,
what I said to you.

- It's fine, apology accepted.
- It wasn't cool.

You and Sloane
have history together.

Then I come along,
flapping my big mouth.

- I never know when to shut up.
- Hey, why don't you and I get a drink?

You seem like a nice person.

I could watch you crash and burn,
but that wouldn't make me feel good.

Lionel, I don't know you,
you don't know me

- and you don't know...
- I'll say it so you don't have to.

It's none of my business, I know.

But if someone would have told me
before I married...

- Told you what?
- That he leaves.

From what I understand,
you left him.

Not in the way it counts.

He leaves in inches.
Checks out, turns off, shuts down.

Before you know it, he's gone.

The drinking comes along with it.

It's how he avoids things.

I'm sure you've noticed
he's never far from a glass.

Just because that was your experience
doesn't mean it's gonna be mine.

That's the risk we take, isn't it?

You have a child, don't you?

How you doing? You okay?

- No.
- You don't look too good.

Well, are you airsick? Or...?

- I wanna go back.
- Back? "Back" back?

Like, turn the plane around?

- Are you okay with that?
- Sure.

We're halfway there. It'll take us
just as long to get there as...

Pete, I'm not thinking
about San Francisco now.

Can we please just go?

Yeah, okay. Sure.

- Okay?
- Okay.

Lexi, open mine next.

What do you think of the party, Kyle?

This is one shotgun engagement
I wish I brought a shotgun to.

Been here for two hours.

It's time to raise the white flag.

If a woman is hiding a secret,
it's in her purse.

Well, how do you know
which one is hers?

Tacky knockoff full of crap.
Just like the woman who carries it.

Is that my purse?

It fell. And look what rolled out.

Lacatane.

This is for acne.
I thought you were a natural beauty.

I am. I take it to stop sweating.
I dance hard...

- These are tanning pills.
- For the vitamins.

- Can you get your grubby hands...?
- Fenotrex?

That's a weight loss pill. I didn't think
they made that anymore.

For energy. I have so many projects
in the works.

- I'm killing it.
- You're killing your baby.

What are you talking about?

Pregnant women
can't take any of these.

They cause horrible birth defects.

Either you're a horrible mother
or you're not really pregnant.

Which is it, Lexi?
Are you trying to hurt your baby?

All right! I'm not pregnant.

Nope.

I'm not pregnant, but that doesn't mean
we're not getting married.

I know you don't understand

but you dodged a bullet.

A fake, crazy-ass bullet.

Now, that's a party favour.

You betcha.

This guy's on the rebound.

Show him a good time.
He deserves it.

Here.

That should put a dent in the tab.

Sorry Jude and Lionel ruined our date.
Next time I will charter my own jet.

This has nothing to do
with Jude and Lionel.

You're upset. I assumed...
Raquel, hey, talk to me.

I told Miguel about you.

Mama.

I'll be right in.

I've never told Miguel about any guy.

And there's a reason.
His father is garbage.

And I couldn't risk my son
getting attached to anyone else.

Not until I knew that person was here
100 percent.

I don't know that that's you

and I don't know if that can be you.
I'm sorry.

Well?

We are outside in public together.

Sort of. You're missing the gesture.

This is our spot.

Wanna do it?

It was just a Kiss Cam.
I should have walked away.

It's not about the Kiss Cam.

Then what is it about?

- Seeing you kiss another guy...
- I know.

Seeing you kiss another guy.

It made me realise.

I love you.

L... I am in love with you,
Ahsha Hayes.

I love you too.

Lionel. Lionel!
Hey, I thought it was interesting

before Raquel asked
to turn the plane around

that you two were
in deep conversation.

- I have to get my seat before...
- I'll hold the game.

You're not here to watch. You're not
even here to get your face on camera.

You came to Devils' Arena
for a reason.

- Pete, you're in my way.
- You want the Malibu house?

The cabin in Big Bear?
What is it that you want from me?

You!

Okay?

I want you.

It's why I'm here.
It's why I'm dragging out the divorce.

That doesn't make any sense.

You left me.

To wake you up.

Make you see what you were losing.

But you moved on.

I haven't.

We have history.

But that's it.

I'm sorry.

Give it up!

And that's it. A tough night
for the Devils as they lose to Boston.

You guys stink!

What are you doing out there?
You should've had that!

Yo, yo, yo.
What happened out there?

- Just an off night.
- More than just off.

- Everything cool?
- I'm fine.

You got the right bench, yo!

Nice.

- Thanks for waiting around.
- Thanks for the courtside seats.

Miguel's never sat close before.

Actually, Miguel's the one
I wanted to see.

I was hoping to play
a little one-on-one with him.

- You.
- Look, I know you're scared.

And I understand why.

But, Raquel, I am not Jesse.

I am here 100 percent.

Miguel.

Miguel, this is Pete.

Pete, this is Miguel.

- Hi.
- Hi.

- How you doing?
- Good.

Hey, you want me to show you
how to shoot that thing?

- It's okay.
- Yeah?

Come on, I know we lost,
but I'm still a good coach, I promise.

I promise. First of all
you don't have to do this, right?

Don't do this not-looking stuff
because that's...

Oh, see what happens?

- What's this?
- Keep it.

Pawnshops are a hassle.
Might as well be a paperweight.

You know this means it's gonna
take longer to pay off Benny's debt.

Well, we better pick
our next target then.

- Look who's clingy.
- Stay.

What could be more satisfying
than laying naked with me?

Once upon a time,
there was a stupid girl.

She had a new boyfriend

who was forced to watch her kiss
her old boyfriend on a Jumbotron

in front of 20,000 people.

Suddenly, the stupid girl
who was so clever

in keeping her new boyfriend secret
got sloppy.

So your not-so-simple plan worked.

It's just a story.

Hey. I got a story too.

Once upon a time

a sexy guy
made an offer on a restaurant

named after a wicked queen.

I don't want or need you
to buy me things.

Back off.

You are so cold,
it's almost sociopathic.

There's more to the story.

Unfortunately, this sexy guy
couldn't buy it.

The owner took it off the market.

Tonight, at Devils' Arena,
the Devils were crushed by Boston.

Terrence Wall did not bring
his A-game.

Hey, it's one thing for a captain
to go down with his ship,

but it's another thing
for him to crash it.

That about sums up
the Devils' loss to Boston.

After the break,
we'll have the weather.

- Hello.
- Derek Roman? TMZ.

Got a nice shot of you
and your lady up the hill.

Care to comment before we post?

You can save your breath.

I signed the plea deal.

I always knew you were smarter
than people gave you credit for, Chase.

You made a big mistake
putting her at my build site.

Take care.

You killed my wife!

I didn't actually.

You're lying.

You're certainly welcome to believe
whatever you want.

As am I.

But say
we were both telling the truth.

I didn't kill Olivia,

and you didn't kill Olivia.

Who did?

- Next on Hit the Floor:
- A photographer got pictures of us

at the overlook.
He sold them to TMZ.

I'm going to be kicked out
of Devil Girls.

Ahsha needs to fix this.
I can help if you want.

We're 96 grand from the finish line.
I need to finish this.

I've been invited
to the reading of Olivia's will tonight.

What would she leave you?

In these plays, you get the ball more,
Derek gets it less.

I don't wanna be seen as the new guy
stirring things up.

- Is that my phone?
- He got to you.
