Hit the Floor (2013–…): Season 3, Episode 4 - Good D - full transcript
Previously on "Hit the Floor"...
You're a Devil Girl again.
You want me back?
No, this is Derek.
I'm not gonna stay here
just to watch you
get caught up with
Derek Roman again.
I'm coming for her.
If I was trying to
buy the Devils...
What do you want?
Agree to trade Derek
and I'll keep my mouth shut.
Kyle. Beau?
Since when are you
a movie producer?
Since I learned how much
money you can make off it.
You want in for half?
Let's make a bomb.
If we're gonna keep
the league at bay,
I need to cut you out.
You can't cut me out
of my own team.
I can and I have.
Should I leave first
or should you?
I'm still your secret!
You work for Oscar. I do.
What's that for?
Your suicide note.
Aah!
I'm moving in.
I'm also gonna hire someone
to look after you when
I'm not around.
Oscar is not getting
another crack at you.
I need it now... for protection.
Why am I the only one
moving out?
I'll be fine here.
This is a precaution.
Pete's moving in,
he's hired me a bodyguard.
Let's focus on the positive.
What positive?
You're back where you wanna be,
with the Devil Girls.
And your new roomie's
pretty hot.
He a'ight.
This was
everything that was left
in your closet.
Uh...
these are mine.
German, thank you for always
being so protective of Ahsha.
I'm not gonna let her
out of my sight.
You look tired.
He hasn't been sleeping.
I'm just excited
about opening game.
I'll bring this out to the car.
Opening game's a pretty
big deal for you too.
You're choreographing.
Did Jelena bust a blood vessel?
At least tell me
she hit a wall slide.
It's hard to feel good
about anything
when you're going
through all of this.
All of this will be over soon.
In the meantime,
I'm not letting Oscar
get to me one damn bit,
and don't you, either.
You can't split profits
if there aren't any.
So, we need to make sure
that the movie of your life
is a bigger turd
than "Juwanna Mann".
Well, making Teddy the director
was a good start.
He's off scouting locations.
Poor thing thinks
he's creating a masterpiece.
Well, I'm shocked
he thinks at all.
First things first.
Since it's my life story,
we're gonna need a lot of men.
Hot, stupid men.
I put out a casting call
and I booked a room.
We don't even have
a script yet though,
so what are they gonna read?
These.
Okay.
Yeah, um... I think we're
gonna need an actual script,
and I'm gonna need you
to help me with that.
It's supposed to be crap,
get a monkey to help you.
You're in on this for half,
you need to help me with half.
Raquel?
What are you doing here?
Didn't you have
a date last night?
I did, but it was over by 10:00.
I found this awesome
series on Netflix though...
That is not a new leaf,
that is an old leaf.
An old, dry, sexless leaf.
She can do casting.
Yeah, just let her be
surrounded by hot, stupid men.
Casting?
Yeah.
Meet my mystery producer.
Great.
This is all set up for you.
I thought we weren't spending
any money on this movie.
Now, we can afford
a casting director?
This is important.
So is making sure the guys
in this movie are packing.
Talent. Packing talent.
You know, all famous writers,
they go to Big Bear
and they lock
themselves in a cabin.
Then they just pound away
at their screenplays.
I suppose a decent
script is important.
You know, I'm completely aware
you're talking about sex, right?
Dee.
How you doing?
Good.
You don't have to be good,
I know it's tough
sitting out. For now.
I'll be back calling the shots.
Don't you worry.
Of course. All right.
I feel like garbage.
Agreeing to trade Derek
to shut Zero up.
We did what we had to do.
Now, we focus on what's next.
We've got the money
to buy the team.
Now, we need to convince
the league to take it.
And how do we that?
We don't.
Someone else does.
Derek's back, it's great,
we couldn't be happier.
Hey, boss.
I'll call you back.
I thought I told you
at the masquerade,
unless you have
something to offer me...
Stay away, right.
I have something to offer you.
Information.
What information?
I know who the potential
buyers for the team are.
Who?
Terrence and Jelena.
Not only that,
they made a deal with me.
If I kept my mouth
shut about it,
they'd trade Derek.
Why would you tell me this?
That deal would be
great for you.
I didn't make it for me.
I made it for you,
so you had something
to do real damage with
when you needed to.
I appreciate it.
But information is not what
I'm looking for from you.
It doesn't change
anything between us.
The delusion!
How big must their egos be
to think they can pull
something off like this?
I wouldn't underestimate them.
After that game seven,
Terrence is a god.
And Jelena, she's...
A deranged bitch.
They must not have all
the support they need yet
for this to be a secret.
I'm gonna beat them
at their own game.
They can throw a big party?
I can throw a bigger one.
I'm gonna turn opening game
into the biggest media event
this sport has ever seen.
What's so important?
Actually, I just asked
to see the Devil Girl
in charge of the first dance.
But since you're here,
I suppose I could fill you in.
Opening game is going to be
a no-expense-spared epic.
Every fan is
getting in for free.
There's going to be a lottery
to decide who gets tickets.
I'm flying the media out
to Vegas on the Devils' jet
so they can cover
the numbers being pulled.
Whoa.
What does this have to do
with the Devil Girls?
I'm ponying up 200-grand
to put on the biggest show
halftime's ever seen.
You're giving
the Devil Girls $200,000?
No... I'm giving Ahsha $200,000.
For this one dance.
Are you serious?
Can you imagine how much
press Ahsha's gonna get?
I don't imagine.
Excuse me, I have work to do...
as do you.
I'm going there to socialize
with some of the other
team owners.
You'll be drawing
the winning lottery numbers
and doing a few interviews.
So, make sure you work
on that pageant smile.
I'll be?
Pack your bags, Ahsha.
You're going to Vegas.
What we're about
to share with you
is beyond sensitive.
Your discretion would
be much appreciated.
Lionel is a huge problem
for everyone.
So, we're stepping up
to do something about it.
We're making a play
to buy the team.
And we need your help to do it.
Solid piece.
Hardly any kickback.
You got a good deal.
Well, you can't tell
Pete I have it.
Even if he's paying
you to watch me,
if he knew I had it...
I won't say a word.
I think you were smart
to get it however you got it.
Some people would argue,
but I think you're safer
having it given your situation.
But only if you know how
to properly fire it.
I haven't thought
that far ahead...
actually shooting it.
Well, you have to.
Like this.
Why would Terrence
and Jelena want you?
Well, the last time a team was
forced onto the auction block,
a team's coach
pulled a lot of sway.
They're counting on me
to help trump
whatever favor Lionel has left.
No way should you
even consider it.
Well, I thought you
wanted Lionel out.
I do, but not to make
room for Jelena.
I think it's a good idea.
Anyone else but Lionel
means that you're safer.
Jelena is a snake,
the kind that can't
even be bothered
to unhinge her jaw.
Yeah, but Jelena has
one thing that Lionel doesn't.
Terrence.
Sloane, he is a good guy.
Pete...
Meet with him, just...
before you make up your mind,
just meet with him.
Okay.
Lucas.
Hey. Jude.
Listen, um...
I wanted to say sorry
about our date.
I know I was a buzzkill
going on and on
about another guy.
I'm trying to be
better about that.
So, hypothetically,
if we were to go out again,
I wouldn't have to hear
about Mr. Perfect?
He's not perfect, not by...
You wouldn't have
to hear about him.
Good.
I'll pick you up
tomorrow at 8:00.
Wear something slutty.
Whoo!
Mmm.
Whoo!
I thought we were
supposed to be writing.
Oh, yeah, right. Okay.
Fade in.
Kyle Hart dances her way
into L.A. in search of love.
Wait, now, hold on.
I didn't come here
in search of love.
What'd you come in search of?
Anything with a gift receipt.
Okay.
Kyle Hart loved men.
She also loved gifts.
From all her many men,
her favorite gift was...
Her divorce from
her no-good husband.
Hmm.
What?
That was thanks to me.
Her apartment
was a good gift too.
Yeah. Two walk-in closets.
Closets are good.
I need a break.
I could use one too. Yeah? Oh.
So, these are gonna
be glowing on the day.
I'll show you how you're
gonna be using them.
Lasers will fall from there.
And from there and from...
Jelena?
Need my help already?
I need you to get in position
so you can learn the steps.
Mmm.
I'll pick them up, don't worry.
Timing needs to be perfect
when there's $200,000
worth of bells and whistles
going off around us.
We need to do this together.
Seriously?
I don't have a lot of time.
I have to leave in an hour
to pack for Vegas.
Okay, from the top.
And one and two, three and four.
Whoa, whoa! What happened?
I, uh... I was updating
your binders
and I knocked it off the desk.
Here.
How late were you
out last night?
There's a lot going on.
Well, I'd get some sleep
before you do more damage.
Terrence is out.
I'm in.
All over the place.
You really didn't have to go
through all this to say thanks,
but I'm glad you did.
That's all Lionel.
Part of our new media strategy.
You're a valuable
member of the team.
Night.
I'm a valuable
member of the team?
I mean, you're talking
to me like I'm a stranger.
After everything I did for you?
You either refuse to get it
or you never will.
I love you.
All right?
I...
I love you, stupid.
I love you too.
And even still,
it doesn't matter.
Love isn't enough.
I need someone
I can actually be with
like a normal person.
Someone who's able to
be there for me in every way.
Can you?
Can you do that?
No.
You looking for some company?
No, I'm just waiting
for my room to be ready.
Mine's ready now.
How much?
How much what?
You think I'm a prostitute?
Hey, I'd be happy to help put
you through nursing school.
This guy bothering you?
You're... About to be real upset
if you don't back up
off my girl.
No. Big fan.
Scared of you.
I'm sorry.
You're staying here too?
Lionel's having
a huge media event.
Of course the Roman emperor's
gonna be part of it.
So, uh...
lotion me up?
Thank you for meeting me.
I've faced some
scary dudes on the court,
but you might be the most
intimidating person
I've come across yet.
You shouldn't be intimidated.
You wouldn't be here
if Pete didn't put
a whole lot of stock
in your opinion.
I don't just wanna
buy the Devils.
I want to take us
back to where we were.
This team has been
put through it,
and I wanna make it great again.
You keep saying "I".
You mean "we".
I know you and Jelena
have had difficulties.
I don't think you do.
I just have one question.
Why is someone as noble
as Terrence Wall
with someone
as vicious as Jelena Howard?
The Jelena I know
is different from the one
that most people know.
My Jelena is a woman
of... unbelievable strength.
Someone who's been through
hell and back in her life.
She's leant me that strength.
When I was ready
to give up on myself,
she used her damage
to heal mine.
And for that...
I will always be grateful.
You heard right,
no expense spared.
And that includes the dance.
Here to pull the lottery numbers
and answer a few questions
about the dance,
please welcome
all-star Ahsha Hayes.
Congratulations on
getting this dance.
What can we expect?
You'll just have
to wait and see.
How's your mom doing with
Oscar's trial coming up?
You can't keep
a good Devil Girl down.
Ahsha, you two
were the "it" couple.
What happened?
Derek Roman happened.
Dating him isn't easy and she
learned that the hard way.
Hopefully, that wasn't
my one crack at a great woman.
But if it was, I...
I wouldn't change it
for anything.
All right, who's ready
to give out tickets, huh?
Let's do it.
So? How'd it go with Terrence?
I was impressed.
He's a good guy,
I see why you like him.
So, you support my backing
them with the league?
Not a chance in hell.
Terrence is completely
whipped by Jelena.
She walks on water
as far as he's concerned.
And as long as those two
are together,
that girl will always
be controlling things.
That's something I will
never support.
Are these the auditions
for "50 Shades of Kale"?
Uh, "Kyle", yeah.
I'm exhausted.
Writing is hard work.
Yeah.
So far, all we have
is "Fade in."
I don't have any love stories.
Never said "I love you"
to anyone,
even when I was
married to Benny.
All that candy-coated garbage
is just, ugh.
Yeah, I never said it
to anyone either.
What do you say we just
cut and paste from "Twilight"
and just change the names?
Works for me.
What good is having
a dad that rich
if you never get
to spend any of it?
It wasn't his money I was after.
What I wanted,
he couldn't give me.
Kind of a running theme
in my life.
Seems like you're doing okay.
Does it? Good.
No, I'm doing better, but...
I still don't really
know what I'm doing.
I don't have family dinners,
I don't go out with friends.
I don't date.
I don't do anything
normal people do.
It can be... lonely.
That's why your wheels
are always turning.
You're strategizing
how to get what you want.
You're strategizing
this date right now.
I don't wanna screw this up.
Turn off your brain, Jude.
You're doing just fine.
Sloane met with Terrence
and she still said no.
You have hurt the two
most important women
in my life more than once.
You should know...
I'm gonna be watching you
every step of the way together.
You're still going to back us?
Why?
Oscar's coming at Sloane
and there's not much
that I can do to stop it.
And whether she personally
likes it or not,
this is my best way
to get the Kincades out.
I'll set the meeting
with the league.
Here we go.
Whoo!
Look, it's a Devil Girl.
Not a Devil Girl,
the Devil Girl.
Come play. I can't, I need to...
Who wants Ahsha to stay?
What do you say?
Will you roll the dice?
Okay.
You want me to blow
on it for luck?
I have to go.
It happened.
I know you wanna
talk about it, or...
No, no.
No conversation necessary.
No pressure here.
Whatever happens next is on you.
I have to tell him.
If you tell German...
Please, don't say his name.
He will break up with you.
I have to go.
Lionel...
if you brought us
owners out here
just to brag about
how much you're pouring
into your first game, come on.
I'm not just throwing
cash at a game,
I'm investing in
the entire season.
Player development,
staff training,
community relations.
What's good for one team
is good for us all, am I right?
Oscar would never put up
that kind of dough.
I'm so much more fun than Oscar.
Hey, I just heard Pete booked
a meeting with the league.
Do I need to be there?
You're not invited,
Terrence and Jelena are.
Prepare yourself, Jude.
This is about to get ugly.
I hate to grind and run,
but there's something
back in L.A. that needs
my immediate attention.
So, no spare toothbrush?
You're my second guest ever.
Hey, I wanna see you again.
Meet me after the game later?
Courtside?
Is... is that cool?
It's a date.
How was your trip?
Fine.
Big game today.
I was wondering if...
Maybe if after,
we could talk, catch up?
Sure.
There are too many
good-looking guys here.
Supposed to be making a bomb,
not a beefcake calendar.
We need terrible actors,
but I won't have ugly ones.
Kyle Hart does not
roll around with pigs.
Well, not totally.
Kyle.
Please tell me you stocked up
on tall, dark and easy.
I narrowed down the choices.
This guy went to Juilliard,
this guy was in
a fast food commercial,
but it was the one
that makes you cry
where the father... Raquel!
Did you spend the last
two days actually casting?
What else was I supposed
to be doing?
Hooking up.
That's not only inappropriate,
it's a lawsuit.
Which one of you
would say screw a role
to go out with this
hot piece right here?
What's wrong with her?
I didn't understand
the question.
A piece of what?
He's perfect. You get the part.
The rest of you get to
give her your digits.
Don't call us, she'll call you.
And you will.
Oh my God.
The dance is in a few hours.
There's supposed to be
screens and laser lights
and smoke machines.
Where are they?
Huh.
I... guess they couldn't
fit through the door.
You're unbelievable.
You'd put on a crappy dance
opening day?
No. I wouldn't.
I hope your improv
skills are good.
If you need me to step in,
just... let me know.
Hey. You ready
to go to the game?
Almost.
This was left outside my door.
I don't know what it means.
I know what it means.
It means I can't
work for you anymore.
I don't understand.
This is my daughter
Rausse at pre-school.
Oscar knows how to get
to her when I'm not around.
Oh, Patrick.
I underestimated your situation
and how far he would go.
You don't need me,
you need the police.
They should have you under
protective custody.
Leave my home?
I wish I had
a better suggestion.
Thanks for taking this leap
with us, it means a lot.
You ready? We're ready.
Ha, did we miss the meeting?
Your meeting is
no longer necessary.
What are you talking about?
The league is pressing pause
on the sale of the Devils.
Pressing pause? Why?
Derek.
Derek couldn't wait
to tell the league
what a fantastic job
I was doing,
and how upset he would be
if that were to change...
after I filled him in on
Terrence and Jelena's plans
for the future.
I did schmooze some of
the other owners in Vegas,
but I think it was
Derek's star power
that just put me
right over the top.
What are you talking about?
"Plans for the future?"
You should really have
a conversation
with the people
you align yourself with?
When did you become this?
Someone who takes pleasure
in harming other people?
That wasn't the Lionel
that I fell in love with.
I had no idea
I hurt you this badly.
You're right.
You changed me.
You made me into
this angry person
who just wants to hurt people
the way that you hurt me.
Get over yourself, Pete.
You're not that special.
See you at the game.
Thank you, Devils Nation.
It'll be a great season.
How the hell did Derek
find out about our deal?
How do you think?
You had a chance
to get rid of him.
Maybe it wasn't Derek
I was trying to get rid of.
Payback's a bitch.
Let me explain.
Rot on the bench.
And now, welcome the L.A.
Devil Girls!
It's the Devil Girls'
first dance of the season
choreographed by Ahsha Hayes.
You're not gonna stay
for the second half?
What kind of agent are you?
I need to disappear.
I'm supposed to meet Jude
courtside after the game,
and that's not gonna happen.
This feels a bit more
personal than professional.
I had sex with Jude.
Oh, yeah?
He's hot.
And the body he is hiding
underneath that suit...
I've been dying
to hit that for like a year.
But Jesus, is he needy
and neurotic!
Oscar wrecked him for life,
and he's totally undateable.
But Jude's used to
disappointment.
He'll be fine.
Catch you later.
Sloane, what...
I was trying to reach you,
but you were too busy
going behind my back
with Jelena and Terrence.
I was trying to reach you
because I had a difficult
decision to make,
and I had to make
that decision alone.
What are you talking about?
I'm going into
protective custody.
Until the trial,
that's where I'll be.
Sloane? Sloane?
The Devils are down by three
with seconds left in regulation.
Zero's got it,
takes it to the hoop!
The Devils are down by one now.
Oh, Roman steals
the inbound pass!
There's a jumper for the game!
Oh, Roman drains it!
Wow, at the buzzer,
the Devils win!
What a game!
I haven't seen German. Have you?
No, he wasn't on the bench.
Hey, have you seen German?
You don't know? Know what?
He was in a car accident.
I just heard that they brought...
Oh, I have to go!
Can't talk now,
I'm meeting someone.
Lucas isn't coming.
Why not?
'Cause I told him not to.
Oh, Jesus.
My car is totaled.
I was driving to the game.
But I was so tired.
I ran a red light.
And the next thing I knew...
I knew something like this
was gonna happen.
German, you've been so stressed.
It's not just the game,
it's... there's other stress.
You're not an idiot,
of course you picked up on it.
I'm so sorry.
This is what I've been wanting
to talk to you about, tell you.
Ahsha, I've been so messed up.
For months.
Months?
Ahsha...
I killed Olivia.
Next time on "Hit the Floor"...
German, you didn't kill Olivia.
She said she'd tell everyone.
I couldn't let her.
Since I can't trust
anyone on the outside,
this is the safest place for me.
When can I come back?
Maybe you shouldn't
come back for a while.
You want my statement?
That's my statement.
If making Lionel
suffer is your goal,
you couldn't have picked
a better partner.
The arena is closed.
Have everyone out in 30
or I call the police.
The bitch needs to go.
You're a Devil Girl again.
You want me back?
No, this is Derek.
I'm not gonna stay here
just to watch you
get caught up with
Derek Roman again.
I'm coming for her.
If I was trying to
buy the Devils...
What do you want?
Agree to trade Derek
and I'll keep my mouth shut.
Kyle. Beau?
Since when are you
a movie producer?
Since I learned how much
money you can make off it.
You want in for half?
Let's make a bomb.
If we're gonna keep
the league at bay,
I need to cut you out.
You can't cut me out
of my own team.
I can and I have.
Should I leave first
or should you?
I'm still your secret!
You work for Oscar. I do.
What's that for?
Your suicide note.
Aah!
I'm moving in.
I'm also gonna hire someone
to look after you when
I'm not around.
Oscar is not getting
another crack at you.
I need it now... for protection.
Why am I the only one
moving out?
I'll be fine here.
This is a precaution.
Pete's moving in,
he's hired me a bodyguard.
Let's focus on the positive.
What positive?
You're back where you wanna be,
with the Devil Girls.
And your new roomie's
pretty hot.
He a'ight.
This was
everything that was left
in your closet.
Uh...
these are mine.
German, thank you for always
being so protective of Ahsha.
I'm not gonna let her
out of my sight.
You look tired.
He hasn't been sleeping.
I'm just excited
about opening game.
I'll bring this out to the car.
Opening game's a pretty
big deal for you too.
You're choreographing.
Did Jelena bust a blood vessel?
At least tell me
she hit a wall slide.
It's hard to feel good
about anything
when you're going
through all of this.
All of this will be over soon.
In the meantime,
I'm not letting Oscar
get to me one damn bit,
and don't you, either.
You can't split profits
if there aren't any.
So, we need to make sure
that the movie of your life
is a bigger turd
than "Juwanna Mann".
Well, making Teddy the director
was a good start.
He's off scouting locations.
Poor thing thinks
he's creating a masterpiece.
Well, I'm shocked
he thinks at all.
First things first.
Since it's my life story,
we're gonna need a lot of men.
Hot, stupid men.
I put out a casting call
and I booked a room.
We don't even have
a script yet though,
so what are they gonna read?
These.
Okay.
Yeah, um... I think we're
gonna need an actual script,
and I'm gonna need you
to help me with that.
It's supposed to be crap,
get a monkey to help you.
You're in on this for half,
you need to help me with half.
Raquel?
What are you doing here?
Didn't you have
a date last night?
I did, but it was over by 10:00.
I found this awesome
series on Netflix though...
That is not a new leaf,
that is an old leaf.
An old, dry, sexless leaf.
She can do casting.
Yeah, just let her be
surrounded by hot, stupid men.
Casting?
Yeah.
Meet my mystery producer.
Great.
This is all set up for you.
I thought we weren't spending
any money on this movie.
Now, we can afford
a casting director?
This is important.
So is making sure the guys
in this movie are packing.
Talent. Packing talent.
You know, all famous writers,
they go to Big Bear
and they lock
themselves in a cabin.
Then they just pound away
at their screenplays.
I suppose a decent
script is important.
You know, I'm completely aware
you're talking about sex, right?
Dee.
How you doing?
Good.
You don't have to be good,
I know it's tough
sitting out. For now.
I'll be back calling the shots.
Don't you worry.
Of course. All right.
I feel like garbage.
Agreeing to trade Derek
to shut Zero up.
We did what we had to do.
Now, we focus on what's next.
We've got the money
to buy the team.
Now, we need to convince
the league to take it.
And how do we that?
We don't.
Someone else does.
Derek's back, it's great,
we couldn't be happier.
Hey, boss.
I'll call you back.
I thought I told you
at the masquerade,
unless you have
something to offer me...
Stay away, right.
I have something to offer you.
Information.
What information?
I know who the potential
buyers for the team are.
Who?
Terrence and Jelena.
Not only that,
they made a deal with me.
If I kept my mouth
shut about it,
they'd trade Derek.
Why would you tell me this?
That deal would be
great for you.
I didn't make it for me.
I made it for you,
so you had something
to do real damage with
when you needed to.
I appreciate it.
But information is not what
I'm looking for from you.
It doesn't change
anything between us.
The delusion!
How big must their egos be
to think they can pull
something off like this?
I wouldn't underestimate them.
After that game seven,
Terrence is a god.
And Jelena, she's...
A deranged bitch.
They must not have all
the support they need yet
for this to be a secret.
I'm gonna beat them
at their own game.
They can throw a big party?
I can throw a bigger one.
I'm gonna turn opening game
into the biggest media event
this sport has ever seen.
What's so important?
Actually, I just asked
to see the Devil Girl
in charge of the first dance.
But since you're here,
I suppose I could fill you in.
Opening game is going to be
a no-expense-spared epic.
Every fan is
getting in for free.
There's going to be a lottery
to decide who gets tickets.
I'm flying the media out
to Vegas on the Devils' jet
so they can cover
the numbers being pulled.
Whoa.
What does this have to do
with the Devil Girls?
I'm ponying up 200-grand
to put on the biggest show
halftime's ever seen.
You're giving
the Devil Girls $200,000?
No... I'm giving Ahsha $200,000.
For this one dance.
Are you serious?
Can you imagine how much
press Ahsha's gonna get?
I don't imagine.
Excuse me, I have work to do...
as do you.
I'm going there to socialize
with some of the other
team owners.
You'll be drawing
the winning lottery numbers
and doing a few interviews.
So, make sure you work
on that pageant smile.
I'll be?
Pack your bags, Ahsha.
You're going to Vegas.
What we're about
to share with you
is beyond sensitive.
Your discretion would
be much appreciated.
Lionel is a huge problem
for everyone.
So, we're stepping up
to do something about it.
We're making a play
to buy the team.
And we need your help to do it.
Solid piece.
Hardly any kickback.
You got a good deal.
Well, you can't tell
Pete I have it.
Even if he's paying
you to watch me,
if he knew I had it...
I won't say a word.
I think you were smart
to get it however you got it.
Some people would argue,
but I think you're safer
having it given your situation.
But only if you know how
to properly fire it.
I haven't thought
that far ahead...
actually shooting it.
Well, you have to.
Like this.
Why would Terrence
and Jelena want you?
Well, the last time a team was
forced onto the auction block,
a team's coach
pulled a lot of sway.
They're counting on me
to help trump
whatever favor Lionel has left.
No way should you
even consider it.
Well, I thought you
wanted Lionel out.
I do, but not to make
room for Jelena.
I think it's a good idea.
Anyone else but Lionel
means that you're safer.
Jelena is a snake,
the kind that can't
even be bothered
to unhinge her jaw.
Yeah, but Jelena has
one thing that Lionel doesn't.
Terrence.
Sloane, he is a good guy.
Pete...
Meet with him, just...
before you make up your mind,
just meet with him.
Okay.
Lucas.
Hey. Jude.
Listen, um...
I wanted to say sorry
about our date.
I know I was a buzzkill
going on and on
about another guy.
I'm trying to be
better about that.
So, hypothetically,
if we were to go out again,
I wouldn't have to hear
about Mr. Perfect?
He's not perfect, not by...
You wouldn't have
to hear about him.
Good.
I'll pick you up
tomorrow at 8:00.
Wear something slutty.
Whoo!
Mmm.
Whoo!
I thought we were
supposed to be writing.
Oh, yeah, right. Okay.
Fade in.
Kyle Hart dances her way
into L.A. in search of love.
Wait, now, hold on.
I didn't come here
in search of love.
What'd you come in search of?
Anything with a gift receipt.
Okay.
Kyle Hart loved men.
She also loved gifts.
From all her many men,
her favorite gift was...
Her divorce from
her no-good husband.
Hmm.
What?
That was thanks to me.
Her apartment
was a good gift too.
Yeah. Two walk-in closets.
Closets are good.
I need a break.
I could use one too. Yeah? Oh.
So, these are gonna
be glowing on the day.
I'll show you how you're
gonna be using them.
Lasers will fall from there.
And from there and from...
Jelena?
Need my help already?
I need you to get in position
so you can learn the steps.
Mmm.
I'll pick them up, don't worry.
Timing needs to be perfect
when there's $200,000
worth of bells and whistles
going off around us.
We need to do this together.
Seriously?
I don't have a lot of time.
I have to leave in an hour
to pack for Vegas.
Okay, from the top.
And one and two, three and four.
Whoa, whoa! What happened?
I, uh... I was updating
your binders
and I knocked it off the desk.
Here.
How late were you
out last night?
There's a lot going on.
Well, I'd get some sleep
before you do more damage.
Terrence is out.
I'm in.
All over the place.
You really didn't have to go
through all this to say thanks,
but I'm glad you did.
That's all Lionel.
Part of our new media strategy.
You're a valuable
member of the team.
Night.
I'm a valuable
member of the team?
I mean, you're talking
to me like I'm a stranger.
After everything I did for you?
You either refuse to get it
or you never will.
I love you.
All right?
I...
I love you, stupid.
I love you too.
And even still,
it doesn't matter.
Love isn't enough.
I need someone
I can actually be with
like a normal person.
Someone who's able to
be there for me in every way.
Can you?
Can you do that?
No.
You looking for some company?
No, I'm just waiting
for my room to be ready.
Mine's ready now.
How much?
How much what?
You think I'm a prostitute?
Hey, I'd be happy to help put
you through nursing school.
This guy bothering you?
You're... About to be real upset
if you don't back up
off my girl.
No. Big fan.
Scared of you.
I'm sorry.
You're staying here too?
Lionel's having
a huge media event.
Of course the Roman emperor's
gonna be part of it.
So, uh...
lotion me up?
Thank you for meeting me.
I've faced some
scary dudes on the court,
but you might be the most
intimidating person
I've come across yet.
You shouldn't be intimidated.
You wouldn't be here
if Pete didn't put
a whole lot of stock
in your opinion.
I don't just wanna
buy the Devils.
I want to take us
back to where we were.
This team has been
put through it,
and I wanna make it great again.
You keep saying "I".
You mean "we".
I know you and Jelena
have had difficulties.
I don't think you do.
I just have one question.
Why is someone as noble
as Terrence Wall
with someone
as vicious as Jelena Howard?
The Jelena I know
is different from the one
that most people know.
My Jelena is a woman
of... unbelievable strength.
Someone who's been through
hell and back in her life.
She's leant me that strength.
When I was ready
to give up on myself,
she used her damage
to heal mine.
And for that...
I will always be grateful.
You heard right,
no expense spared.
And that includes the dance.
Here to pull the lottery numbers
and answer a few questions
about the dance,
please welcome
all-star Ahsha Hayes.
Congratulations on
getting this dance.
What can we expect?
You'll just have
to wait and see.
How's your mom doing with
Oscar's trial coming up?
You can't keep
a good Devil Girl down.
Ahsha, you two
were the "it" couple.
What happened?
Derek Roman happened.
Dating him isn't easy and she
learned that the hard way.
Hopefully, that wasn't
my one crack at a great woman.
But if it was, I...
I wouldn't change it
for anything.
All right, who's ready
to give out tickets, huh?
Let's do it.
So? How'd it go with Terrence?
I was impressed.
He's a good guy,
I see why you like him.
So, you support my backing
them with the league?
Not a chance in hell.
Terrence is completely
whipped by Jelena.
She walks on water
as far as he's concerned.
And as long as those two
are together,
that girl will always
be controlling things.
That's something I will
never support.
Are these the auditions
for "50 Shades of Kale"?
Uh, "Kyle", yeah.
I'm exhausted.
Writing is hard work.
Yeah.
So far, all we have
is "Fade in."
I don't have any love stories.
Never said "I love you"
to anyone,
even when I was
married to Benny.
All that candy-coated garbage
is just, ugh.
Yeah, I never said it
to anyone either.
What do you say we just
cut and paste from "Twilight"
and just change the names?
Works for me.
What good is having
a dad that rich
if you never get
to spend any of it?
It wasn't his money I was after.
What I wanted,
he couldn't give me.
Kind of a running theme
in my life.
Seems like you're doing okay.
Does it? Good.
No, I'm doing better, but...
I still don't really
know what I'm doing.
I don't have family dinners,
I don't go out with friends.
I don't date.
I don't do anything
normal people do.
It can be... lonely.
That's why your wheels
are always turning.
You're strategizing
how to get what you want.
You're strategizing
this date right now.
I don't wanna screw this up.
Turn off your brain, Jude.
You're doing just fine.
Sloane met with Terrence
and she still said no.
You have hurt the two
most important women
in my life more than once.
You should know...
I'm gonna be watching you
every step of the way together.
You're still going to back us?
Why?
Oscar's coming at Sloane
and there's not much
that I can do to stop it.
And whether she personally
likes it or not,
this is my best way
to get the Kincades out.
I'll set the meeting
with the league.
Here we go.
Whoo!
Look, it's a Devil Girl.
Not a Devil Girl,
the Devil Girl.
Come play. I can't, I need to...
Who wants Ahsha to stay?
What do you say?
Will you roll the dice?
Okay.
You want me to blow
on it for luck?
I have to go.
It happened.
I know you wanna
talk about it, or...
No, no.
No conversation necessary.
No pressure here.
Whatever happens next is on you.
I have to tell him.
If you tell German...
Please, don't say his name.
He will break up with you.
I have to go.
Lionel...
if you brought us
owners out here
just to brag about
how much you're pouring
into your first game, come on.
I'm not just throwing
cash at a game,
I'm investing in
the entire season.
Player development,
staff training,
community relations.
What's good for one team
is good for us all, am I right?
Oscar would never put up
that kind of dough.
I'm so much more fun than Oscar.
Hey, I just heard Pete booked
a meeting with the league.
Do I need to be there?
You're not invited,
Terrence and Jelena are.
Prepare yourself, Jude.
This is about to get ugly.
I hate to grind and run,
but there's something
back in L.A. that needs
my immediate attention.
So, no spare toothbrush?
You're my second guest ever.
Hey, I wanna see you again.
Meet me after the game later?
Courtside?
Is... is that cool?
It's a date.
How was your trip?
Fine.
Big game today.
I was wondering if...
Maybe if after,
we could talk, catch up?
Sure.
There are too many
good-looking guys here.
Supposed to be making a bomb,
not a beefcake calendar.
We need terrible actors,
but I won't have ugly ones.
Kyle Hart does not
roll around with pigs.
Well, not totally.
Kyle.
Please tell me you stocked up
on tall, dark and easy.
I narrowed down the choices.
This guy went to Juilliard,
this guy was in
a fast food commercial,
but it was the one
that makes you cry
where the father... Raquel!
Did you spend the last
two days actually casting?
What else was I supposed
to be doing?
Hooking up.
That's not only inappropriate,
it's a lawsuit.
Which one of you
would say screw a role
to go out with this
hot piece right here?
What's wrong with her?
I didn't understand
the question.
A piece of what?
He's perfect. You get the part.
The rest of you get to
give her your digits.
Don't call us, she'll call you.
And you will.
Oh my God.
The dance is in a few hours.
There's supposed to be
screens and laser lights
and smoke machines.
Where are they?
Huh.
I... guess they couldn't
fit through the door.
You're unbelievable.
You'd put on a crappy dance
opening day?
No. I wouldn't.
I hope your improv
skills are good.
If you need me to step in,
just... let me know.
Hey. You ready
to go to the game?
Almost.
This was left outside my door.
I don't know what it means.
I know what it means.
It means I can't
work for you anymore.
I don't understand.
This is my daughter
Rausse at pre-school.
Oscar knows how to get
to her when I'm not around.
Oh, Patrick.
I underestimated your situation
and how far he would go.
You don't need me,
you need the police.
They should have you under
protective custody.
Leave my home?
I wish I had
a better suggestion.
Thanks for taking this leap
with us, it means a lot.
You ready? We're ready.
Ha, did we miss the meeting?
Your meeting is
no longer necessary.
What are you talking about?
The league is pressing pause
on the sale of the Devils.
Pressing pause? Why?
Derek.
Derek couldn't wait
to tell the league
what a fantastic job
I was doing,
and how upset he would be
if that were to change...
after I filled him in on
Terrence and Jelena's plans
for the future.
I did schmooze some of
the other owners in Vegas,
but I think it was
Derek's star power
that just put me
right over the top.
What are you talking about?
"Plans for the future?"
You should really have
a conversation
with the people
you align yourself with?
When did you become this?
Someone who takes pleasure
in harming other people?
That wasn't the Lionel
that I fell in love with.
I had no idea
I hurt you this badly.
You're right.
You changed me.
You made me into
this angry person
who just wants to hurt people
the way that you hurt me.
Get over yourself, Pete.
You're not that special.
See you at the game.
Thank you, Devils Nation.
It'll be a great season.
How the hell did Derek
find out about our deal?
How do you think?
You had a chance
to get rid of him.
Maybe it wasn't Derek
I was trying to get rid of.
Payback's a bitch.
Let me explain.
Rot on the bench.
And now, welcome the L.A.
Devil Girls!
It's the Devil Girls'
first dance of the season
choreographed by Ahsha Hayes.
You're not gonna stay
for the second half?
What kind of agent are you?
I need to disappear.
I'm supposed to meet Jude
courtside after the game,
and that's not gonna happen.
This feels a bit more
personal than professional.
I had sex with Jude.
Oh, yeah?
He's hot.
And the body he is hiding
underneath that suit...
I've been dying
to hit that for like a year.
But Jesus, is he needy
and neurotic!
Oscar wrecked him for life,
and he's totally undateable.
But Jude's used to
disappointment.
He'll be fine.
Catch you later.
Sloane, what...
I was trying to reach you,
but you were too busy
going behind my back
with Jelena and Terrence.
I was trying to reach you
because I had a difficult
decision to make,
and I had to make
that decision alone.
What are you talking about?
I'm going into
protective custody.
Until the trial,
that's where I'll be.
Sloane? Sloane?
The Devils are down by three
with seconds left in regulation.
Zero's got it,
takes it to the hoop!
The Devils are down by one now.
Oh, Roman steals
the inbound pass!
There's a jumper for the game!
Oh, Roman drains it!
Wow, at the buzzer,
the Devils win!
What a game!
I haven't seen German. Have you?
No, he wasn't on the bench.
Hey, have you seen German?
You don't know? Know what?
He was in a car accident.
I just heard that they brought...
Oh, I have to go!
Can't talk now,
I'm meeting someone.
Lucas isn't coming.
Why not?
'Cause I told him not to.
Oh, Jesus.
My car is totaled.
I was driving to the game.
But I was so tired.
I ran a red light.
And the next thing I knew...
I knew something like this
was gonna happen.
German, you've been so stressed.
It's not just the game,
it's... there's other stress.
You're not an idiot,
of course you picked up on it.
I'm so sorry.
This is what I've been wanting
to talk to you about, tell you.
Ahsha, I've been so messed up.
For months.
Months?
Ahsha...
I killed Olivia.
Next time on "Hit the Floor"...
German, you didn't kill Olivia.
She said she'd tell everyone.
I couldn't let her.
Since I can't trust
anyone on the outside,
this is the safest place for me.
When can I come back?
Maybe you shouldn't
come back for a while.
You want my statement?
That's my statement.
If making Lionel
suffer is your goal,
you couldn't have picked
a better partner.
The arena is closed.
Have everyone out in 30
or I call the police.
The bitch needs to go.
