Hit the Floor (2013–…): Season 3, Episode 2 - Blocked - full transcript
Previously
on "Hit the Floor"...
I'm fighting for what I want.
You talking about your deal?
I'm talking about you.
Will you marry me?
Yes, I will marry you.
I'm accepting the EVP job.
EVP, that makes you my boss.
That's hot.
Welcome back to
the Devil Girls, Raquel.
"50 Shades of Kyle", it's
gonna be made into a movie!
I hope he hangs.
As lead witness
in the case against him,
you'll ensure he does just that.
You put me in this seat,
but I'm not your puppet.
Lionel, she could ruin
the whole organization.
The league obviously knows what
they have on their hands in L.A.
I want you to get off
your asses and force a sale,
and get the Kinkades
out of Devils Arena
once and for all.
We want to buy the Devils,
and we will do
whatever it takes to do it.
Can you imagine?
Getting away with murder?
Why were you calling out Olivia?
You called out Olivia's name.
What are you talking about?
You said "Olivia" three times.
It was... it was nothing.
Wasn't nothing, you lurched up.
You're... you're
covered in sweat.
I mean, we were...
we were just talking
about her before bed.
She must have been on my mind.
You weren't just
saying her name.
You were yelling it
like you were yelling at her.
What were you dreaming?
That she wanted to hurt you.
So... that stunt,
telling me you weren't signing
right before the ring ceremony,
was that supposed to be cute?
Why, do you think it was cute?
Well, I don't know.
Is riding the bench until
you ass is chapped cute?
Riding the bench?
The season starts in two days.
And if you don't have
a signed contract by then,
you can't play.
For opening game, that means
midnight tomorrow.
Ah, come on,
that's plenty of time
for you to come up
with a better deal.
I mean, I'd love to talk
to you more about it,
but my agent's advised me
not to talk to you directly.
You have two days
to figure this out.
Yeah. Actually, you...
have two days
to figure this out.
Lionel? You have a moment?
Now is not a good time, Adam. I
am not sure there is a good time
for what I have to tell you.
The league is gearing up
to force a sale.
Force?
We know how hard
you've been working
running the Devils
in Oscar's absence.
We appreciate it.
I'm not selling.
And I'd be real careful
about patronizing me.
Oscar Kinkade is in prison
awaiting trial for murder,
and the person
currently in his seat
is a Hollywood actress
with no experience
running a franchise.
I've been more
in more back rooms
with more powerful people than
you could ever hope to meet.
And yet, you still haven't
signed your number one player
with all that money
sitting on the table.
You're not putting
a "For Sale" sign on my team.
You're not giving
the league a reason not to.
Hey. Someone's in beast mode.
I got a call from the director
of Boston's dance squad.
She liked the routine
I choreographed last season.
She asked me to
upload some steps,
see if there's something
maybe her dancers could try.
Could be my first paying gig
post-Devil Girls.
Ahsha, that's... that's amazing.
Couldn't have come
at a better time.
Today is the Devil Girls
calendar shoot.
I'm fine.
I could just really use
the money, that's all.
Places, places. Come on.
My first calendar in two years.
I don't think you're ready.
Now you're ready.
Come on.
A Las Vegas per diem?
Nevada doesn't even have a team.
You're literally asking
for gambling money.
From a junior agent for us
to a power player
for the Devils.
Wasn't it just a year ago
he was screwing up
our coffee orders?
We're wasting time.
I need Derek's deal hammered out
by midnight tomorrow.
Well, then,
let's get to hammering.
Jude, a minute?
Yeah. Excuse us.
Lucas is flirting with you.
What? I don't think so.
I don't have time to stand here
and talk you through
your feelings about this.
He wants you. I want Derek.
What are you saying?
I'm saying get back in there,
hike up your skirt and give
that guy what he wants.
Buy him drinks.
You charm him,
you take it from there.
I don't charm people, okay?
I'm not a charmer.
This is ridiculous.
This Derek Roman's deal.
Now, you put on
your big girl panties
and you figure it out.
The league was just in here
asking about the Kinkades.
They're gonna force a sale.
It's a Christmas miracle.
You did this?
You sicced the league on them.
Only because I didn't have
a pack of wild dogs.
What if Oscar finds out?
You shouldn't be sticking
your neck out like this.
My neck is already out there.
I'm the lead witness
for the prosecution
in his murder trial,
and I won't let Oscar
stop me from doing
what has to be done.
Oscar is in jail for murder.
I just want you to be safe.
And I love you for it.
Yes. Okay, thank you.
Um...
Okay. Sure, thank you.
That was the director
of Boston's dance squad.
They didn't like
the choreography?
No, they didn't like it.
They loved it.
Oh, that's great!
So... you're gonna
get to do more?
They asked me to join the team.
Like... move to Boston?
What do I do?
Well, damn.
Right back at you.
How many meetings
did you set up for today?
Six.
Good. Mmm.
Some day we'll have a couple
billion under the mattress,
but until then,
we need a partner
to help us buy the team.
Mmm.
What?
I lost my shoe deal.
You're the face of the brand.
Yeah, the brand wants a face
that's not looking on
from the bench
half the season, maybe more.
Oh, God.
It's a $10 million
endorsement out the window,
all because of my... stupidity.
I should
postpone these meetings.
You don't postpone.
You are Terrence Wall.
You get in there and win.
And don't say you lost anything.
Meanwhile, there is
something I can do
to beef up our profile.
What?
Someone has something
valuable of mine.
It's time I got it back.
I knew you'd call me
for that 10% of the Devil Girls.
I'd hoped it wouldn't
take half a year.
I guess it wasn't as valuable
to me as you thought.
Or it's valuable enough
that you need it now.
Why?
Terrence and I have
the inside track
on buying the Devils.
We need all the assets
we can get.
You don't believe
we could own the team?
I don't believe
what's on your finger.
Is it what I think it is?
We're engaged.
Jelena, that's wonderful.
Yes.
So, getting back
to the important thing.
This is the important thing.
You weren't gonna tell me?
We haven't announced it yet.
I'm your mother,
I don't need it announced.
I need to be part of it.
That's not going to happen.
You like deals.
I got one for you.
We can talk about the 10%
while we plan one thing
for the wedding tomorrow.
And I get to choose what it is.
It's double overtime,
we're down by six,
Indiana's got the ball.
The only way to turn it
around is to get...
Terrence.
You want me to invest
a lot of money in you,
not buy you a beer.
It's gonna take a lot more
than the stories
of your glory days
to get to my ATM pin.
Of course.
This is business.
Speaking of business,
your finances are solid.
Juicy contracts,
healthy endorsements.
How's your shoe deal looking?
Great. Three years strong.
Strike two.
I know you lost that.
I know because
it went to a player
on a soccer team I own.
You're sinking here.
You smell it, right?
I'm trying to score here.
You're right, I lost the deal.
But Jelena is already out there
trying to replace it.
And that's what you get
working with us.
We are tenacious as hell.
And we know what it means
to be partners.
Make sure she succeeds.
The league needs to see you
as more than just
a player and a dancer.
They need to see you as
players at the table.
Come back to me when
you can fully buy in.
Okay, Teddy.
"50 Shades of Kyle".
Who, what, where, when and how?
You forgot "why".
It's a movie about my life.
I know why.
Hmm.
How much you sinking
into this thing?
Not a dime.
So who's footing the bill?
Free and Clear Productions.
They heard I had the rights
to your life story,
I said they could have them
if they gave me a job
on the film.
You paid me 150k
for those rights.
What kind of job's worth that?
Director.
You're the director?
Of my life story.
Kickass, right?
I like this photo.
You like it
because she's smiling.
Sex sells.
I like it because her ass
looks great in that light.
I'll put it in the "yes" pile.
Ladies.
I'll need to approve
the calendar
and the final cut of the dance
before they go wide.
Oscar had more important
things to worry about.
Oscar isn't dealing with what
I'm dealing with right now.
I can't afford anything negative
blowing back on me.
Good talk.
And Derek's gonna need his own
private chef for away games.
Not a problem.
You know,
I wish we could have...
had a private chef right now.
So we could have
dinner together privately.
I mean, in private.
Are you coming on to me?
Li... Lionel said you were
flirting with me.
I... I told her you weren't.
And she sent you here
to seduce me
to get a better deal for Derek?
Look, I...
Go, Lionel.
Go?
Well, I mean, I always had
my eye on you at the office.
I just...
never knew you were gay.
This is kind of a new thing.
For me anyway.
Lucky me, huh?
Look... I'll run
this deal by Derek,
but I'm gonna need
two more things.
Name 'em.
I want you to add another point
to Derek's signing bonus
and I wanna take you on a date.
Where have you been?
Uh, working on Derek's deal.
Exactly.
You're my agent too.
Trojan's blowing up my phone.
Someone needs to call them back.
I'll run the terms
by Derek but...
I think we can close this.
Bye.
What?
We both know what you just did
and why you did it.
You won't be with me
the way I want
but you don't
want me with anyone else.
I feel bad.
I got that.
Smooth, smooth.
Looks good.
Nice shot.
You wanna talk
about me signing my deal.
I don't care what Lionel wants.
I care about what you want.
Because what I want is
you out here starting for me
first game of the season.
I want an empire.
Oh, yeah?
What's an empire go for
these days?
I'll know it when I hear it.
I know ego when I hear it.
Look... Derek, you're worth
whatever you can get.
I just don't want it to
cost you what you really want,
and that's to be out here
on this court.
If you drag this out, I don't
want you to push it so far
that it ends up
blowing up in your face.
I got this, Coach.
I hope so.
At a certain point...
something will become more
important than your ego.
Nice uniform.
Boston made me an offer.
I didn't know how to tell you
or if it was worth
bringing up or...
Ahsha, of course
you should tell me.
It's wonderful news.
They'd be lucky to have you.
You know, they are
3,000 miles away.
You barely handled me going
off to dance camp for a week.
You were nine.
Would you be okay if I left?
No. Only because I'd miss you
something awful.
But I would never
stop you from doing something
you thought would
make you happy.
Not again.
Would this make you happy?
I don't know.
Some parts yes, other parts...
German and I started talking
about it this morning.
I called him
to talk about it more
but he's not
answering his phone.
Hey, Coach, got a sec?
Wanna talk about captain.
Take a seat.
I want it.
Nothing more to say.
You've been a Devil
for half a season, Zero.
Captain usually goes to somebody
with more seniority.
Fair... but I'm
no stranger to this team.
I've been following
the Devils since I was a kid.
I thought you were
from Colorado.
Well, Denver was my team
till L.A. came through in '96.
Aha... that was a big game
for me.
I know.
Chase Vincent got injured,
you stepped up,
singlehandedly clinched
the division title.
After the game
you signed autographs
for a bunch of kids...
and one of 'em... was me.
Now here I am,
I'm playing for the Devils
and I feel like this is
my chance to step up.
That is unbelievable.
I know.
No, I mean I don't believe
a word of it.
I'm not gonna get
suckered in by some crap story.
But... the season
starts tomorrow...
and the truth is...
without Terrence
and without Derek...
I do need a captain.
Another truth?
You got two rings...
you're smart as hell
and you know how to win.
So...?
The job is yours.
What idiot would trust
this idiot to make a movie?
Teddy Reynolds can't even direct
his car down a driveway
without taking
half his house with him.
I told him to get me everything
he has on this producer.
Mm-hmm... mmm.
Get me another beer,
would you, wifey?
Please...?
Look at me
hanging out with two superstars.
How does it feel being back?
I forgot how much
I missed the girls...
or how hard these dances are.
With the excitement
and the rehearsals,
my heart is literally
beating out of my chest.
When I went
to the Devil Girl physical,
the doctor had to give me
Valium to get me to relax. Ooh.
It's crazy.
We swapped places again.
This time you're in and I'm out.
Ahsha, your next big thing is
just around the corner.
Or across the country.
Boston wants me
to dance for them.
Boston? As in, in Boston?
Boston.
What about Derek?
That's a weird first question.
Why would I be
thinking about Derek?
I don't know.
When I think long-term,
I think of you and Derek.
Ahsha's back with German.
He's always been there for her.
He's long-term.
Oh...
I guess I'm Team Derek.
I guess I'm Team German.
Okay, well, I'm Team Ahsha,
and right now Team Ahsha
doesn't know what to do.
I'm glad we're away
from the arena.
No more interruptions.
You've repped Zero.
You know what he's like.
Big night tonight.
After Derek signs...
why don't we celebrate?
Drinks at The Abbey?
Wow. Two public places
in one day.
You're not
a swamp creature, Jude.
No. No, I know.
I'm just... not used to it.
I've never been to that bar.
I always wanted to go
with my ex but...
Well, he's not really my ex.
We were never really together.
No... I mean, we were together.
Was he your first?
First and only.
Oh, and you've never been
with anyone else but him?
No.
And how long has it been
since you guys stopped talking?
Four months.
And in all that time, you've
never been with... anyone else?
No. No.
This guy, he was...
everything to me.
I mean, I was in love with him
before I even knew
what love was.
When something
blinds you like that...
it takes a while for
your eyes to adjust again.
Till you can see
anything else, you know?
Oh, that's Zero.
I gotta cut out.
Don't let Zero
sabotage another date.
Zero didn't
sabotage anything, Jude.
You did.
I mean, you're still clearly
hung up on this other guy,
whoever he is.
Hey, Zero.
I'm here to work
on the dance cut.
Is Ed over there?
Great. I'll be up in a minute.
Thank you so much. See you.
Who are you and why are you
following me?
My name is Eddie and
I'm, uh... your bodyguard.
My what?
Coach Davenport hired me
to keep an eye on you.
Pete never said anything
about getting me a bodyguard.
I think he thought
it would scare you.
Well, I'm glad we avoided that.
Yeah.
I think you've done enough.
You can go home.
I'll make sure
Pete pays you for the week.
Oh... okay, and again,
I'm sorry if I...
I scared you.
Oh... you're late.
I'm here now.
So let's talk about the 10%.
We have all evening
to talk about that.
Jelena, I reserved
the boutique until close.
When your father and I
got married,
we couldn't... No.
I agreed to meet you here,
I'll even stay and do this,
but I will not
under any circumstance
talk about James Howard.
Ahsha. Hey.
Random, meeting you here.
Oh, not so random.
We used to run this park
together around this time.
Old habits, I guess.
Hard to break.
So, how are you?
Super busy.
Getting some good responses
on my choreography.
That's great, Ahsha.
How about you?
They're saying on the news
that you still haven't
signed a new contract.
Yeah, well, thanks to
the last six months,
I know my worth now.
I need to be aware of
everyone else's too.
That make sense?
Yeah, it does.
Your pops thinks I'm
pushing the limit, but...
I just want
everything on the table.
Can't have any more
regrets in my life.
Have a good run, Ahsha.
Kyle! When did you get here?
20 minutes ago.
How did you get past security?
That's cute.
What are these?
My storyboards for the movie.
Yeah, it's a bunch
of stick figures doing it.
Not all the same way.
Where is the paperwork on the
production company I asked for?
Here you go.
Everything's
paperless now, Kyle.
Franklin cannot wait
to get started.
Franklin's the name of the producer.
Uh-huh.
Well, what's he like?
Super smart...
from what I've read.
You've never met him?
He's out of Phoenix.
Okay, let me get this straight.
You made a deal to make a movie
for a producer you've never met
based in the other
movie capital of the world...
Phoenix, Arizona.
Crazy, right?
If it wasn't for
the $5 million budget,
I wouldn't have
believed it either.
$5 million?
Mm-hmm.
Hmm.
Arson is still illegal...
right?
Well, that saves me from asking
my first question.
I'm in wedding dress hell.
Nothing cheap champagne and
a frontal lobotomy can't fix.
I have something that'll
cheer you up.
Jackson Everett
just checked in with me.
He wouldn't do that if he wasn't
serious about partnering up.
No, he wouldn't.
I need to get this 10%.
I know how hard this is.
With Vanessa...
I'm not spending one more day
in that arena
wondering
what's going to happen to you.
To us.
We are buying the Devils.
If this is what I have to do...
I love you.
You better.
Bang-up job
on the contract, Jude.
Hey, did you get
banged in the process?
Or are you the banger?
We've actually never
talked about that.
I just got off the phone
with Derek's lawyer.
He said we might not want to
wait around until midnight.
Derek's not coming?
He didn't take the deal.
Jelena!
You have been in there forever.
Do I have to get
the Jaws of Life?
My goodness...
You are...
stunning.
Oh...
This... is a statement dress.
The beading... the trim...
When those doors open
and you step out on that
aisle with your father...
That's never going to happen.
Oh, Jelena...
The only statement
being made by this dress
is that this entire day
is a joke.
You forcing me
to try on dresses,
you pretending that you have
any right to be here,
be a part of my wedding,
be a part of my life at all.
I gave you your life, and like
it or not, I am your mother.
You throw that word around
like it means something.
Well, it means something to me.
And that's
the biggest joke of all.
You can push me away
all you want
but I've taken bigger hits
than anything
you could throw at me.
You say that with pride.
Oh, you're damn right I do,
because that's
what this mother did
to protect her child.
Protect me? Yes.
Protect me from what?
From seeing my own mother getting...
Please...
punched in the face?
From hearing her body
hit the floor?
I was scared as hell.
Who was I supposed to go to
to make it better?
To feel safe?
A woman lying to the police
each time they came to the door.
A mother wouldn't have
let her daughter
live in a house
with a violent man,
no matter how much
she loved him.
A mother would have left!
All this time...
I felt bad 'cause
you didn't have a father.
Now I see.
You didn't have a mother either.
My biggest fear...
is that you'll walk
out of my life forever.
And now the only thing
I can do for you
is to risk just that.
It's all yours.
And I'll never force you
to call me again.
If I'm ever gonna be
the mother you need...
you need to wanna call me.
And if you ever do,
just know, my...
my girl...
that I will answer.
Does he still do it?
No.
Where have you been?
Sorry, I got caught up
in something. What's up?
Thought you might be avoiding me
over this Boston thing.
And if you are...
I'm kind of afraid what I have
to tell you might make it worse.
I know my worth and...
I know I wanna be somewhere
where the people
around me know it too.
I wanna go to Boston.
I wanna come with you.
You wanna go to Boston?
Look, Ahsha...
I been doing a lot of thinking.
I think a change
would be good...
for both of us.
German, are you serious?
100%.
We're goin' to Boston!
Well?
You did it.
Jackson is in and we have a
partner to help us buy the team.
This is happening, J.
We just can't tell anyone.
Jackson said the longer
we stay under the radar,
the better our chances.
Keeping this to ourselves...
It's you and me
against the world.
It's always you and me.
Little late for a house call.
Hopefully not for a beating.
You really wanna ride the bench
for the first game
of the season?
Willing to take a short-term hit
to reach a long-term goal.
Long term?
I already offered you
enough money
to buy a small country.
That's more money
than one person
could possibly ever need.
This isn't just
about you, is it?
All this... for Ahsha?
What, so you can
lay more at her feet?
You're a bigger fool
than I thought.
You're holding out for something
that will never happen.
You haven't heard.
German gave his notice to H.R.
He's moving to Boston...
with Ahsha.
Lionel's with Derek right now.
I'm sure he's signing
as we speak.
Forcing a sale is not
an empty threat, Jude.
We already have another potential
buyer for the Devils lined up.
League's forcing a sale?
They think they are.
Kinkades have owned
the Devils for over 25 years.
I mean, who would have the balls
to try to steal it away?
Why do you care?
I am team captain now.
I should know.
Captain?
Does the power turn you on?
I'm gonna swing by Jelena's
restaurant to celebrate.
Maybe Terrence'll be there
and I can rub it in his face.
You wanna come?
No.
Hot date with Lucas?
Ugh.
It's amateur hour.
Stick figures, emails,
a dude in Phoenix
with $5 million,
all for a movie that's bound to
be a steaming pile of shizz.
With my name on it.
Oh, hell no.
I am tracking down this producer
and killing this
before it spreads.
Raquel...
What's wrong?
Something came up
in my physical.
I have to see a doctor tomorrow.
I'm sure you're fine.
You're just outta practice.
Hey, all of us
are hiding some injury.
The doctor I have to see
is a cardiologist.
It's my heart.
Hey, is, uh, Terrence around?
I'll sign.
But I have one more condition.
What more do you want?
Ahsha has to come back
to the Devil Girls.
Looks like I might have to
replace German.
Oh... he's going to Boston...
with Ahsha.
Yeah...
I guess he doesn't want to
let her out of his sight.
Well... you'd understand that
better than anyone.
What do you mean?
The bodyguard?
What bodyguard?
Say a word and you're dead.
Sloane?
I have to go.
Love you.
Okay, love you.
Drive.
Next time on "Hit the Floor"...
We're having a party.
The theme?
Masquerade.
I'm not gonna stay here
just to watch you get caught up
with Derek Roman again.
I don't want to be your friend.
As it worsens,
the heart becomes...
Not the heart. My heart.
You have made me very unhappy.
Your happiness
no longer concerns me.
Caged animals
are unpredictable...
That's what Oscar is right now.
You work for Oscar. I do.
Are you gonna kill me?
You're going to kill yourself.
on "Hit the Floor"...
I'm fighting for what I want.
You talking about your deal?
I'm talking about you.
Will you marry me?
Yes, I will marry you.
I'm accepting the EVP job.
EVP, that makes you my boss.
That's hot.
Welcome back to
the Devil Girls, Raquel.
"50 Shades of Kyle", it's
gonna be made into a movie!
I hope he hangs.
As lead witness
in the case against him,
you'll ensure he does just that.
You put me in this seat,
but I'm not your puppet.
Lionel, she could ruin
the whole organization.
The league obviously knows what
they have on their hands in L.A.
I want you to get off
your asses and force a sale,
and get the Kinkades
out of Devils Arena
once and for all.
We want to buy the Devils,
and we will do
whatever it takes to do it.
Can you imagine?
Getting away with murder?
Why were you calling out Olivia?
You called out Olivia's name.
What are you talking about?
You said "Olivia" three times.
It was... it was nothing.
Wasn't nothing, you lurched up.
You're... you're
covered in sweat.
I mean, we were...
we were just talking
about her before bed.
She must have been on my mind.
You weren't just
saying her name.
You were yelling it
like you were yelling at her.
What were you dreaming?
That she wanted to hurt you.
So... that stunt,
telling me you weren't signing
right before the ring ceremony,
was that supposed to be cute?
Why, do you think it was cute?
Well, I don't know.
Is riding the bench until
you ass is chapped cute?
Riding the bench?
The season starts in two days.
And if you don't have
a signed contract by then,
you can't play.
For opening game, that means
midnight tomorrow.
Ah, come on,
that's plenty of time
for you to come up
with a better deal.
I mean, I'd love to talk
to you more about it,
but my agent's advised me
not to talk to you directly.
You have two days
to figure this out.
Yeah. Actually, you...
have two days
to figure this out.
Lionel? You have a moment?
Now is not a good time, Adam. I
am not sure there is a good time
for what I have to tell you.
The league is gearing up
to force a sale.
Force?
We know how hard
you've been working
running the Devils
in Oscar's absence.
We appreciate it.
I'm not selling.
And I'd be real careful
about patronizing me.
Oscar Kinkade is in prison
awaiting trial for murder,
and the person
currently in his seat
is a Hollywood actress
with no experience
running a franchise.
I've been more
in more back rooms
with more powerful people than
you could ever hope to meet.
And yet, you still haven't
signed your number one player
with all that money
sitting on the table.
You're not putting
a "For Sale" sign on my team.
You're not giving
the league a reason not to.
Hey. Someone's in beast mode.
I got a call from the director
of Boston's dance squad.
She liked the routine
I choreographed last season.
She asked me to
upload some steps,
see if there's something
maybe her dancers could try.
Could be my first paying gig
post-Devil Girls.
Ahsha, that's... that's amazing.
Couldn't have come
at a better time.
Today is the Devil Girls
calendar shoot.
I'm fine.
I could just really use
the money, that's all.
Places, places. Come on.
My first calendar in two years.
I don't think you're ready.
Now you're ready.
Come on.
A Las Vegas per diem?
Nevada doesn't even have a team.
You're literally asking
for gambling money.
From a junior agent for us
to a power player
for the Devils.
Wasn't it just a year ago
he was screwing up
our coffee orders?
We're wasting time.
I need Derek's deal hammered out
by midnight tomorrow.
Well, then,
let's get to hammering.
Jude, a minute?
Yeah. Excuse us.
Lucas is flirting with you.
What? I don't think so.
I don't have time to stand here
and talk you through
your feelings about this.
He wants you. I want Derek.
What are you saying?
I'm saying get back in there,
hike up your skirt and give
that guy what he wants.
Buy him drinks.
You charm him,
you take it from there.
I don't charm people, okay?
I'm not a charmer.
This is ridiculous.
This Derek Roman's deal.
Now, you put on
your big girl panties
and you figure it out.
The league was just in here
asking about the Kinkades.
They're gonna force a sale.
It's a Christmas miracle.
You did this?
You sicced the league on them.
Only because I didn't have
a pack of wild dogs.
What if Oscar finds out?
You shouldn't be sticking
your neck out like this.
My neck is already out there.
I'm the lead witness
for the prosecution
in his murder trial,
and I won't let Oscar
stop me from doing
what has to be done.
Oscar is in jail for murder.
I just want you to be safe.
And I love you for it.
Yes. Okay, thank you.
Um...
Okay. Sure, thank you.
That was the director
of Boston's dance squad.
They didn't like
the choreography?
No, they didn't like it.
They loved it.
Oh, that's great!
So... you're gonna
get to do more?
They asked me to join the team.
Like... move to Boston?
What do I do?
Well, damn.
Right back at you.
How many meetings
did you set up for today?
Six.
Good. Mmm.
Some day we'll have a couple
billion under the mattress,
but until then,
we need a partner
to help us buy the team.
Mmm.
What?
I lost my shoe deal.
You're the face of the brand.
Yeah, the brand wants a face
that's not looking on
from the bench
half the season, maybe more.
Oh, God.
It's a $10 million
endorsement out the window,
all because of my... stupidity.
I should
postpone these meetings.
You don't postpone.
You are Terrence Wall.
You get in there and win.
And don't say you lost anything.
Meanwhile, there is
something I can do
to beef up our profile.
What?
Someone has something
valuable of mine.
It's time I got it back.
I knew you'd call me
for that 10% of the Devil Girls.
I'd hoped it wouldn't
take half a year.
I guess it wasn't as valuable
to me as you thought.
Or it's valuable enough
that you need it now.
Why?
Terrence and I have
the inside track
on buying the Devils.
We need all the assets
we can get.
You don't believe
we could own the team?
I don't believe
what's on your finger.
Is it what I think it is?
We're engaged.
Jelena, that's wonderful.
Yes.
So, getting back
to the important thing.
This is the important thing.
You weren't gonna tell me?
We haven't announced it yet.
I'm your mother,
I don't need it announced.
I need to be part of it.
That's not going to happen.
You like deals.
I got one for you.
We can talk about the 10%
while we plan one thing
for the wedding tomorrow.
And I get to choose what it is.
It's double overtime,
we're down by six,
Indiana's got the ball.
The only way to turn it
around is to get...
Terrence.
You want me to invest
a lot of money in you,
not buy you a beer.
It's gonna take a lot more
than the stories
of your glory days
to get to my ATM pin.
Of course.
This is business.
Speaking of business,
your finances are solid.
Juicy contracts,
healthy endorsements.
How's your shoe deal looking?
Great. Three years strong.
Strike two.
I know you lost that.
I know because
it went to a player
on a soccer team I own.
You're sinking here.
You smell it, right?
I'm trying to score here.
You're right, I lost the deal.
But Jelena is already out there
trying to replace it.
And that's what you get
working with us.
We are tenacious as hell.
And we know what it means
to be partners.
Make sure she succeeds.
The league needs to see you
as more than just
a player and a dancer.
They need to see you as
players at the table.
Come back to me when
you can fully buy in.
Okay, Teddy.
"50 Shades of Kyle".
Who, what, where, when and how?
You forgot "why".
It's a movie about my life.
I know why.
Hmm.
How much you sinking
into this thing?
Not a dime.
So who's footing the bill?
Free and Clear Productions.
They heard I had the rights
to your life story,
I said they could have them
if they gave me a job
on the film.
You paid me 150k
for those rights.
What kind of job's worth that?
Director.
You're the director?
Of my life story.
Kickass, right?
I like this photo.
You like it
because she's smiling.
Sex sells.
I like it because her ass
looks great in that light.
I'll put it in the "yes" pile.
Ladies.
I'll need to approve
the calendar
and the final cut of the dance
before they go wide.
Oscar had more important
things to worry about.
Oscar isn't dealing with what
I'm dealing with right now.
I can't afford anything negative
blowing back on me.
Good talk.
And Derek's gonna need his own
private chef for away games.
Not a problem.
You know,
I wish we could have...
had a private chef right now.
So we could have
dinner together privately.
I mean, in private.
Are you coming on to me?
Li... Lionel said you were
flirting with me.
I... I told her you weren't.
And she sent you here
to seduce me
to get a better deal for Derek?
Look, I...
Go, Lionel.
Go?
Well, I mean, I always had
my eye on you at the office.
I just...
never knew you were gay.
This is kind of a new thing.
For me anyway.
Lucky me, huh?
Look... I'll run
this deal by Derek,
but I'm gonna need
two more things.
Name 'em.
I want you to add another point
to Derek's signing bonus
and I wanna take you on a date.
Where have you been?
Uh, working on Derek's deal.
Exactly.
You're my agent too.
Trojan's blowing up my phone.
Someone needs to call them back.
I'll run the terms
by Derek but...
I think we can close this.
Bye.
What?
We both know what you just did
and why you did it.
You won't be with me
the way I want
but you don't
want me with anyone else.
I feel bad.
I got that.
Smooth, smooth.
Looks good.
Nice shot.
You wanna talk
about me signing my deal.
I don't care what Lionel wants.
I care about what you want.
Because what I want is
you out here starting for me
first game of the season.
I want an empire.
Oh, yeah?
What's an empire go for
these days?
I'll know it when I hear it.
I know ego when I hear it.
Look... Derek, you're worth
whatever you can get.
I just don't want it to
cost you what you really want,
and that's to be out here
on this court.
If you drag this out, I don't
want you to push it so far
that it ends up
blowing up in your face.
I got this, Coach.
I hope so.
At a certain point...
something will become more
important than your ego.
Nice uniform.
Boston made me an offer.
I didn't know how to tell you
or if it was worth
bringing up or...
Ahsha, of course
you should tell me.
It's wonderful news.
They'd be lucky to have you.
You know, they are
3,000 miles away.
You barely handled me going
off to dance camp for a week.
You were nine.
Would you be okay if I left?
No. Only because I'd miss you
something awful.
But I would never
stop you from doing something
you thought would
make you happy.
Not again.
Would this make you happy?
I don't know.
Some parts yes, other parts...
German and I started talking
about it this morning.
I called him
to talk about it more
but he's not
answering his phone.
Hey, Coach, got a sec?
Wanna talk about captain.
Take a seat.
I want it.
Nothing more to say.
You've been a Devil
for half a season, Zero.
Captain usually goes to somebody
with more seniority.
Fair... but I'm
no stranger to this team.
I've been following
the Devils since I was a kid.
I thought you were
from Colorado.
Well, Denver was my team
till L.A. came through in '96.
Aha... that was a big game
for me.
I know.
Chase Vincent got injured,
you stepped up,
singlehandedly clinched
the division title.
After the game
you signed autographs
for a bunch of kids...
and one of 'em... was me.
Now here I am,
I'm playing for the Devils
and I feel like this is
my chance to step up.
That is unbelievable.
I know.
No, I mean I don't believe
a word of it.
I'm not gonna get
suckered in by some crap story.
But... the season
starts tomorrow...
and the truth is...
without Terrence
and without Derek...
I do need a captain.
Another truth?
You got two rings...
you're smart as hell
and you know how to win.
So...?
The job is yours.
What idiot would trust
this idiot to make a movie?
Teddy Reynolds can't even direct
his car down a driveway
without taking
half his house with him.
I told him to get me everything
he has on this producer.
Mm-hmm... mmm.
Get me another beer,
would you, wifey?
Please...?
Look at me
hanging out with two superstars.
How does it feel being back?
I forgot how much
I missed the girls...
or how hard these dances are.
With the excitement
and the rehearsals,
my heart is literally
beating out of my chest.
When I went
to the Devil Girl physical,
the doctor had to give me
Valium to get me to relax. Ooh.
It's crazy.
We swapped places again.
This time you're in and I'm out.
Ahsha, your next big thing is
just around the corner.
Or across the country.
Boston wants me
to dance for them.
Boston? As in, in Boston?
Boston.
What about Derek?
That's a weird first question.
Why would I be
thinking about Derek?
I don't know.
When I think long-term,
I think of you and Derek.
Ahsha's back with German.
He's always been there for her.
He's long-term.
Oh...
I guess I'm Team Derek.
I guess I'm Team German.
Okay, well, I'm Team Ahsha,
and right now Team Ahsha
doesn't know what to do.
I'm glad we're away
from the arena.
No more interruptions.
You've repped Zero.
You know what he's like.
Big night tonight.
After Derek signs...
why don't we celebrate?
Drinks at The Abbey?
Wow. Two public places
in one day.
You're not
a swamp creature, Jude.
No. No, I know.
I'm just... not used to it.
I've never been to that bar.
I always wanted to go
with my ex but...
Well, he's not really my ex.
We were never really together.
No... I mean, we were together.
Was he your first?
First and only.
Oh, and you've never been
with anyone else but him?
No.
And how long has it been
since you guys stopped talking?
Four months.
And in all that time, you've
never been with... anyone else?
No. No.
This guy, he was...
everything to me.
I mean, I was in love with him
before I even knew
what love was.
When something
blinds you like that...
it takes a while for
your eyes to adjust again.
Till you can see
anything else, you know?
Oh, that's Zero.
I gotta cut out.
Don't let Zero
sabotage another date.
Zero didn't
sabotage anything, Jude.
You did.
I mean, you're still clearly
hung up on this other guy,
whoever he is.
Hey, Zero.
I'm here to work
on the dance cut.
Is Ed over there?
Great. I'll be up in a minute.
Thank you so much. See you.
Who are you and why are you
following me?
My name is Eddie and
I'm, uh... your bodyguard.
My what?
Coach Davenport hired me
to keep an eye on you.
Pete never said anything
about getting me a bodyguard.
I think he thought
it would scare you.
Well, I'm glad we avoided that.
Yeah.
I think you've done enough.
You can go home.
I'll make sure
Pete pays you for the week.
Oh... okay, and again,
I'm sorry if I...
I scared you.
Oh... you're late.
I'm here now.
So let's talk about the 10%.
We have all evening
to talk about that.
Jelena, I reserved
the boutique until close.
When your father and I
got married,
we couldn't... No.
I agreed to meet you here,
I'll even stay and do this,
but I will not
under any circumstance
talk about James Howard.
Ahsha. Hey.
Random, meeting you here.
Oh, not so random.
We used to run this park
together around this time.
Old habits, I guess.
Hard to break.
So, how are you?
Super busy.
Getting some good responses
on my choreography.
That's great, Ahsha.
How about you?
They're saying on the news
that you still haven't
signed a new contract.
Yeah, well, thanks to
the last six months,
I know my worth now.
I need to be aware of
everyone else's too.
That make sense?
Yeah, it does.
Your pops thinks I'm
pushing the limit, but...
I just want
everything on the table.
Can't have any more
regrets in my life.
Have a good run, Ahsha.
Kyle! When did you get here?
20 minutes ago.
How did you get past security?
That's cute.
What are these?
My storyboards for the movie.
Yeah, it's a bunch
of stick figures doing it.
Not all the same way.
Where is the paperwork on the
production company I asked for?
Here you go.
Everything's
paperless now, Kyle.
Franklin cannot wait
to get started.
Franklin's the name of the producer.
Uh-huh.
Well, what's he like?
Super smart...
from what I've read.
You've never met him?
He's out of Phoenix.
Okay, let me get this straight.
You made a deal to make a movie
for a producer you've never met
based in the other
movie capital of the world...
Phoenix, Arizona.
Crazy, right?
If it wasn't for
the $5 million budget,
I wouldn't have
believed it either.
$5 million?
Mm-hmm.
Hmm.
Arson is still illegal...
right?
Well, that saves me from asking
my first question.
I'm in wedding dress hell.
Nothing cheap champagne and
a frontal lobotomy can't fix.
I have something that'll
cheer you up.
Jackson Everett
just checked in with me.
He wouldn't do that if he wasn't
serious about partnering up.
No, he wouldn't.
I need to get this 10%.
I know how hard this is.
With Vanessa...
I'm not spending one more day
in that arena
wondering
what's going to happen to you.
To us.
We are buying the Devils.
If this is what I have to do...
I love you.
You better.
Bang-up job
on the contract, Jude.
Hey, did you get
banged in the process?
Or are you the banger?
We've actually never
talked about that.
I just got off the phone
with Derek's lawyer.
He said we might not want to
wait around until midnight.
Derek's not coming?
He didn't take the deal.
Jelena!
You have been in there forever.
Do I have to get
the Jaws of Life?
My goodness...
You are...
stunning.
Oh...
This... is a statement dress.
The beading... the trim...
When those doors open
and you step out on that
aisle with your father...
That's never going to happen.
Oh, Jelena...
The only statement
being made by this dress
is that this entire day
is a joke.
You forcing me
to try on dresses,
you pretending that you have
any right to be here,
be a part of my wedding,
be a part of my life at all.
I gave you your life, and like
it or not, I am your mother.
You throw that word around
like it means something.
Well, it means something to me.
And that's
the biggest joke of all.
You can push me away
all you want
but I've taken bigger hits
than anything
you could throw at me.
You say that with pride.
Oh, you're damn right I do,
because that's
what this mother did
to protect her child.
Protect me? Yes.
Protect me from what?
From seeing my own mother getting...
Please...
punched in the face?
From hearing her body
hit the floor?
I was scared as hell.
Who was I supposed to go to
to make it better?
To feel safe?
A woman lying to the police
each time they came to the door.
A mother wouldn't have
let her daughter
live in a house
with a violent man,
no matter how much
she loved him.
A mother would have left!
All this time...
I felt bad 'cause
you didn't have a father.
Now I see.
You didn't have a mother either.
My biggest fear...
is that you'll walk
out of my life forever.
And now the only thing
I can do for you
is to risk just that.
It's all yours.
And I'll never force you
to call me again.
If I'm ever gonna be
the mother you need...
you need to wanna call me.
And if you ever do,
just know, my...
my girl...
that I will answer.
Does he still do it?
No.
Where have you been?
Sorry, I got caught up
in something. What's up?
Thought you might be avoiding me
over this Boston thing.
And if you are...
I'm kind of afraid what I have
to tell you might make it worse.
I know my worth and...
I know I wanna be somewhere
where the people
around me know it too.
I wanna go to Boston.
I wanna come with you.
You wanna go to Boston?
Look, Ahsha...
I been doing a lot of thinking.
I think a change
would be good...
for both of us.
German, are you serious?
100%.
We're goin' to Boston!
Well?
You did it.
Jackson is in and we have a
partner to help us buy the team.
This is happening, J.
We just can't tell anyone.
Jackson said the longer
we stay under the radar,
the better our chances.
Keeping this to ourselves...
It's you and me
against the world.
It's always you and me.
Little late for a house call.
Hopefully not for a beating.
You really wanna ride the bench
for the first game
of the season?
Willing to take a short-term hit
to reach a long-term goal.
Long term?
I already offered you
enough money
to buy a small country.
That's more money
than one person
could possibly ever need.
This isn't just
about you, is it?
All this... for Ahsha?
What, so you can
lay more at her feet?
You're a bigger fool
than I thought.
You're holding out for something
that will never happen.
You haven't heard.
German gave his notice to H.R.
He's moving to Boston...
with Ahsha.
Lionel's with Derek right now.
I'm sure he's signing
as we speak.
Forcing a sale is not
an empty threat, Jude.
We already have another potential
buyer for the Devils lined up.
League's forcing a sale?
They think they are.
Kinkades have owned
the Devils for over 25 years.
I mean, who would have the balls
to try to steal it away?
Why do you care?
I am team captain now.
I should know.
Captain?
Does the power turn you on?
I'm gonna swing by Jelena's
restaurant to celebrate.
Maybe Terrence'll be there
and I can rub it in his face.
You wanna come?
No.
Hot date with Lucas?
Ugh.
It's amateur hour.
Stick figures, emails,
a dude in Phoenix
with $5 million,
all for a movie that's bound to
be a steaming pile of shizz.
With my name on it.
Oh, hell no.
I am tracking down this producer
and killing this
before it spreads.
Raquel...
What's wrong?
Something came up
in my physical.
I have to see a doctor tomorrow.
I'm sure you're fine.
You're just outta practice.
Hey, all of us
are hiding some injury.
The doctor I have to see
is a cardiologist.
It's my heart.
Hey, is, uh, Terrence around?
I'll sign.
But I have one more condition.
What more do you want?
Ahsha has to come back
to the Devil Girls.
Looks like I might have to
replace German.
Oh... he's going to Boston...
with Ahsha.
Yeah...
I guess he doesn't want to
let her out of his sight.
Well... you'd understand that
better than anyone.
What do you mean?
The bodyguard?
What bodyguard?
Say a word and you're dead.
Sloane?
I have to go.
Love you.
Okay, love you.
Drive.
Next time on "Hit the Floor"...
We're having a party.
The theme?
Masquerade.
I'm not gonna stay here
just to watch you get caught up
with Derek Roman again.
I don't want to be your friend.
As it worsens,
the heart becomes...
Not the heart. My heart.
You have made me very unhappy.
Your happiness
no longer concerns me.
Caged animals
are unpredictable...
That's what Oscar is right now.
You work for Oscar. I do.
Are you gonna kill me?
You're going to kill yourself.
