Hit the Floor (2013–…): Season 3, Episode 8 - Upset - full transcript

previously on
"hit the floor"...

Something came up
in my physical.

I have to see
a doctor tomorrow.

It's my heart.

What's wrong?

Raquel?!

The only
evidence they have

Is from a medical examiner
who skipped town.

Help me find him.

Clear my name.

A mother wouldn't
have let her daughter



Live in a house with
a violent man,

No matter
how much she loved him!

I felt bad 'cause you
didn't have a father.

You didn't have
a mother either.

I do want kids.

If you are ever
gonna know,

You need to face it.

I'm talking about
your father.

This is sloane's life.

We both know she
didn't murder anyone.

You're gonna have to
make a statement.

Saying what?

Either help her
or bury her.

Is there bad blood
since she started



The forced sale
to begin with?

She what?

I hope she fries.

Do you know more
about olivia's death

Than you're letting on?
Yes.

Please trust me.
Trust you?!

German, my mom's been charged
with olivia's murder.

You can't hide
from this anymore.

German?

Sloane hayes didn't
kill olivia.

I did.

let's go.

You have the right
to remain silent...

How long
have you known?

You knew?

Yes, but
i never thought--

He really did it?

He found out olivia
was threatening her.

Or wanted to.

What did olivia
have over you?

This is the last
time i'm asking.

I didn't win all-star
over jelena.

Olivia fixed it for me.

Jelena was going to
win again and i just...

Ahsha.

Why didn't you
tell any of us?

Because of how you're all
looking at me... Right now.

I don't blame you.

Ahsha hayes
is a good girl.

Ahsha hayes doesn't
do stuff like this

Except i did.

I tried to use who my father
was to help me win all-star,

And when that didn't work,
i stole it.

Those were my decisions.

German was
trying to protect me

And now his life's
ruined.

... Late last night.

Vega's confession has rocked
devils nation

With olivia vincent's killer

Inside devils arena
the whole time.

This is horrible.

Maybe mainline coverage
isn't the best idea

Given your condition.

Kyle...

For the millionth time,
i'm fine.

Even the doctor said so.

The doctor didn't watch you
to take a gold-medal dive

Onto
the kitchen floor.

I misjudged my
medication, that's all.

Haven't you ever
made a mistake?

You must have
other things to focus on.

Actually, i do.

Thanks to lionel catapulting
jelena out of the arena...

And german, well...

Ahsha's first move
as captain was putting me

In charge of
today's dance.

Had the devil girls ever
worn nipple tassels?

Ha-ha.

You can come see
for yourself.

If you're
feeling up to it.

Of course,
i'll be there.

I'm fine, kyle.

Say it back.

You're fine.

I know you're doing
this for us.

If you need me to
come in with you...

I need to
do this alone.

Okay.

I'm right outside
if you need me.

My little girl.

All grown up.

How do you feel
about this turn in

The olivia vincent
murder case?

I'm grateful to be cleared of
all charges

But my thoughts
are with german.

I just hope he's
treated fairly.

And is it strange
returning to work

For lionel davenport,

A woman who publicly said
she'd hope you'd fry?

When i was charged, there were
questions about my innocence.

It's hard to judge someone

When you're not
in their position.

But i judge lionel.

She was irresponsible.

And hopefully everyone,
including the league,

Will see her
for who she really is.

We've learned that
vega's refusing

To provide a motive.

This is a man who could serve
25 years to life

In a maximum-security prison.

The fact that he won't
say anything,

To me, says everything.

This person's making it
sound like german's

A cold-blooded killer.

Why won't
he defend himself?

He... He might
just need time.

He's about to
get a lot of it.

I have to do something.
Like what?

The only thing
i can do--

Try to talk
some sense into him.

I was gone one day
and all hell breaks loose.

It's not my fault

That my assistant coach
murdered someone.

No, but did you
have to tell the press

You hope sloane
fried for it?

I was pushed.

Were you also pushed

To kick terrence and jelena
out of the arena?

Fans are pissed.

Terrence and jelena
flipped derek.

He's backing them
with the league now.

And sloane instigated

This whole forced sale
to begin with,

So, yes...
I was pushed.

I didn't know
any of that.

Well, i didn't know
you were getting

Mani-pedis with oscar.

So if you wanna
talk about smart...

I went to see
him a few times.

The last time he
asked me to track down

The medical examiner
from the recording,

The one saying
oscar had mia killed.

Did you?

I did.

But oscar's case lives
or dies by that recording.

If you could get to the me,

He'd figure out some way
to use him, to get out.

I wasn't
going to risk that.

I'm as done with
oscar as you are.

Good.

Look, terrence and jelena
was one thing.

But what you
said about sloane...

Lionel, you need to go out
in front of the press

And apologize to her.

I'd throw myself off

The roof of
this arena first.

If you don't fix this,
there'll be plenty of

People lining up
to help you.

So i'm managing
three buildings now.

Clocking 80 hours
a week.

I'm surprised you were
able to find the time

To come to la.

Your mother
worked out my schedule.

That woman can do anything
she puts her mind to.

So this was
her doing.

Well, she organized
the trip,

But...
I wanted to see you.

It's been too long.

Do you know why
that might be?

You've been busy.

You're famous now.

That's it?

And you got engaged.

I did get engaged...

... To a man
who wants kids.

I'm not sure
that i do.

It's a personal
decision.

Why did you
have one?

Why does anyone?

Some people can't
take care of them.

Some people can't
take care of themselves.

If you have
a question, jelena--

I have a lot
of questions.

How can a waitress
just disappear?

How can a man
beat his wife?

Your mother and i
worked that out.

I'm not talking
about you and her.

I'm talking about
you and me.

You were so young
back then.

I mean, how much
could you even remember?

I was eight.

We'd just got
home from church

And something in the sermon
set you off enough

To throw her
against the stove.

Also eight, you punched her
because the tv went out.

I'm not doing so good.

I need to understand
a few things so that...

... I can move on
with my life.

I don't care
what you say,

I don't care how
bad it sounds.

I just need
you to be honest.

I just don't see the point
of digging up the past.

What's good here?

We're here to
see german vega.

Names?

Pete davenport,
ahsha hayes.

All right,
he'll see you.

Thank you.
Just mr. Davenport.

What do you mean?

He won't see you.

He won't see me?

well, he's gonna see me!

Tell german vega
that chase vincent

Wants to talk to him.

Family members
of the victim

Are prohibited
from any visitation.

It's policy.

Your assistant coach
killed my wife.

I think there's more
to the story, chase.

Yeah, the story
is she's dead.

I'm gonna make sure
german vega never sees

The light of
day again.

So...

How did lunch go?

Your father
said great things.

I see.

How can you blindly
ignore the past?

Denial...

... Is a powerful thing.

If we work on
him together...

No.

This is between
you and him.

It's between me
and... No one.

You can't get passed
walls like that, trust me.

I know.

I didn't get my
stubbornness from you.

People can change.

Who would've thought that the
two of you would even speak,

That you would be
the one to bring him here?

Still, i have
nothing to show for it.

I will never get any kind of
closure out of that man.

And nothing will
ever be different.

Sold out,
primetime.

Can you stand it?

I got this.

Look at me.

I'm still a virgin
at something.

Who would've thunk it.

I don't think
you're ready.

Now you're ready.

Whoo...

I'm giddy with
anticipation.

I'm willing to admit

I went
a little overboard

When i told the press
what i told them.

I misunderstood
your situation...

And i apologize.

Could you possibly...

Ease up on me
with the press?

I find it fascinating

That you want
my public support

When this apology is
happening in private.

Let's be real,
sloane.

You, real?

This only gets richer.

The only reason
i said what i said

Was because i found out
you started

The forced sale.

Which i only did because
you bulldozed your way

Into the arena

And made everyone's
lives a living hell.

This isn't about
everyone.

This is about you.

You couldn't stand
that i had pete.

You couldn't stand
that i had the team.

You just can't stop taking
things from me, sloane.

I haven't taken
a damn thing from you.

What about my baby?

I was pregnant...

Until i saw you
and my baby's father

Fawning all over
each other.

Let's just say that that
didn't turn out so well.

My life has been
threatened.

My entire family
threatened,

Thanks in no
small part to you.

Support you?

You're lucky
i don't flatten you!

It's not just the press.

It's the board questioning
lionel now too.

I mean, they're
minority owners

But their opinions
matter.

Maybe you should
do something.

I already have.

I made a double date
with marcus douglas.

He's got the most sway
of anyone on the board.

I can't risk
bringing lionel.

God knows what will come out
of her mouth right now.

Would you go with me?

What, you want me
to be the little wifey?

More like
the big, bad baller.

Marcus thinks you
can do no wrong.

Well, he obviously
doesn't know me very well.

You're thinking about
your sister.

Listen, there's this
private investigator i use.

He's good.

Maybe he can
help you find her.

What i need to find is

Something big, bad
and "ballery"

To wear to
this double date.

Thank you.

No luck?

German
still won't see me.

Maybe he's afraid
to face anyone.

He saw pete.

He hates me.

He doesn't hate you.

I might be working
at a bank right now

If it weren't
for german.

I might not have tried out
for the devil girls.

He believed in me,

And i'm living my dreams
and he's--

Look, ahsha, you--

He's given up
on himself.

And there's
nothing i can do

Because he's given up
on me too.

I'm not saying everyone who
watched that dance saw jesus,

But he may have winked at a few
people from the jumbotron.

Why are you filling out
miguel's school registration?

That's not due for
another year.

I just wanna get
a jump on things.

Jump or leap?

Miguel's a little young

To be going on your
bank account, isn't he?

You're not fine,
are you?

I didn't misjudge
my medication.

My heart's
gotten worse.

So... We get
you new meds.

We got you fixed up once,
we can fix you again.

No.

We can't.

That's what the doctor
really told me.

He said i should
tie up loose ends,

Make... Arrangements.

Months?

Weeks?

We know you're upset, chase,
and you have every right to be.

We were hoping if we told you
a little about german

That you'd
go easier on him.

You didn't bring me
here to convince me

That german vega's
a good guy?

He is, actually.

People make mistakes,
chase.

There was a time you
could've used a friend.

Yeah, i can use
a couple right now.

German told ahsha
it was an accident.

He accidentally showed up
at my house that night?

He accidentally pushed
olivia over a railing?

He accidentally left her
there on the floor

So i could find her?

And you
believe that?

I do.

He's not a killer.

And yet my wife
is dead!

Maybe you don't know german
as well as you think you do.

Maybe you didn't
know olivia

As well as you
think you did.

So this was
olivia's fault?

Come on, chase-- chase,
the four of us go back too far.

And where were you
when i was in jail?

Huh, buddy?

You did nothing to
reach out to olivia

When you came back
on the scene.

She tried, tried,
and you broke her heart!

She was the same
instigator she always was.

And you're the same
crackhead you always were--

Whoa, whoa, chase!

Chase!

Doubles double date.

Kind of literal,
don't you think?

I would've said yes to
competitive hot dog eating

If it made marcus happy.

Is that his wife?

His wife's in cabo.

I thought lionel
might be joining us.

She wanted to.

She's hard at work,
protecting the fort.

She wouldn't have to be if
she stopped inviting attack.

But then...
It's not every day

I get to play against
a super star, hmm?

You wanna serve first?

Sure.

All right, let's go.

What?
I never said i was good.

Have you told
miguel yet?

I wanna talk to
his father first.

I just can't bring
myself to call him.

I haven't seen
jesse since...

Whatever you need me
to do i'll do it.

There's nothing
to be done.

This happens
to other people.

I never thought
for a second

It could happen to me.

I need to make sure

That i get done
everything i need to do.

For me, for miguel.

No regrets.

It's been made clear i'm not
welcome inside this arena.

Once you're off
the injured list,

I won't let lionel
keep you out.

Is that why you
called me in here?

I didn't call you
in here.

She did.

Too much is out of control
around here.

I need to grab
the reins.

I don't trust jelena.

And the fact that
you do scares me.

But lionel needs to go.

I know you lost
jackson.

Do you have someone else
who could fund your bid?

After we lost jackson,

A few people offered
to step up

But there's
nothing to fund.

The team's off
the market.

That's about to change.

The league
is still behind me.

I'm about to pick up
this phone

And give you
another shot at them.

I don't know
what to say.

Rally.

Goddamn it.

game, set, match.

What can i say?
She's not just a pretty face.

And neither is he.

Jude's not
a self-promoter.

What he is is a brilliant
strategist.

Exactly who you want in
the team front office.

A true strategist wins
no matter what their handicap.

No offense, zero,
but you suck at tennis.

But...

My father
taught me how to play,

And he was nowhere near
as patient with me

As you were with zero.

To me,
that means more.

When it comes to
things i care about,

I'm not reckless.

Good, 'cause there's enough
of that coming from lionel.

Knowing you're
balancing her out...

Gonna help me sleep
a little sounder.

You up for drink,

Talk me more
off this ledge?

Yeah.

All right,
well, let's go.

All right, maria sharapova,
lessons start right now.

went straight for
the strong stuff.

This german thing's
got me needing one too.

How's ahsha?
Bad.

And i'm used to being able
to fix everything,

But with this, all i can
do is stand by and watch.

I'm not used to feeling
this powerless.

Me either.

I've never seen you on
the playground alone.

No high rollers
on speed dial?

Ah, right.

Married life.

Thanks for the chat.

Jelena, i thought you said
that you were gonna...

Ah, there's my girl.

You had your chance.

I have things
i need to say to you

And you're not leaving
until i say them.

Life is short
and i won't have any regrets.

Jelena...

Sit down, james.

I owe you.

It's not me
you owe this to.

You don't need to worry about
talking about this

But you will hear it.

I am not your
little girl.

I never was.

I wasn't
raised by you.

I survived you.

Just because you didn't
lift a hand to me

Doesn't mean you didn't
terrorize me every day!

You took my
childhood from me.

You took my safety
from me.

Worst of all,
you took my mother from me.

Maybe you were
a different person back then,

Maybe she found a way to
save your soul...

... But you are still
the villain of my life.

You're going to have to live
with that the rest of yours

Because i refuse...

This is the last
you'll ever see me.

Can i talk to you?

Jelena, i'm sorry.

I wish that--

You helped set this up

But you didn't
try to intervene

Or make excuses
for him.

You supported me like
a good mother would.

Uh, i hope that...

Not being able to have
a relationship with him

Doesn't mean i can't have
a relationship with you.

No, it doesn't.

Good.

Good.

If you would just walk me
to him, you'll see.

hey.

Your mom said
you were here.

Are you okay?

I don't care if
german hates me.

I can't let him do this
to himself.

I won't!

You might wanna
get her out of here.

Ahsha, come on,
let's go.

No!

German needs me!

His sentencing
is tomorrow!

He needs me
to get him to fight!

He needs to know how hard
chase vincent

Is pushing
to have him punished!

He needs me to tell him
not to throw his life away!

Let me see him!

Get her out of
here now!

Now!
Come on, come on.

I lost it.

I was so
pissed back there.

Yeah, you were a whole
bunch of things back there.

Passionate...

Caring, and most
of all, loyal.

You keep
getting knocked down

But you won't stop
fighting for him.

You've been
beating yourself up over

What kind of person
you are.

But the ahsha hayes i've
seen in the last few days

Is she's been impressive
as hell.

You're not a good girl.

But you're
a damn good person.

You've been
so patient with me.

I know german's not
your favorite.

He and i weren't
gonna be friends

With you
in the middle.

But i respect how he always
looked out for you.

Whatever happens at his
sentencing, it's not the end.

I got the cash to help you
fight for him forever.

You'd do that?

You want me to
come with you tomorrow?

No, you've
done enough.

Marcus is gonna
meet with the board.

Wifey came through.

Wifey came through.

Hey, i was...

Thinking maybe you could
kick me the number

Of that
private investigator.

Yeah... Sure.

there she is.

I got news.

We have another chance
with the league,

Thanks to sloane.

Sloane?

How'd you
pull that off?
She called me.

Apparently, hatred for
lionel supersedes all.

What else
is going on?

I saw my father again.

And?

And i didn't even
leave the bones.

I made an appointment
with my ob/gyn.

You did?

I can't possibly be
a worse parent than he was.

Besides...

If all else fails,
the kid's got you.

Right?

jude?

Jude?

Where's jude?

Jelena and terrence have been
meeting with the league

And sloane hayes
is walking them in

On a red damn carpet.

He's not here.

Can you give me a little
more than "not here"?

What were you and jude
doing with marcus douglas

At the pacific palisades
country club?

We had a friendly
hit and giggle.

Marcus doesn't do
anything for a giggle.

Marcus needed some
breastfeeding.

Jude wanted to make sure
that the board was cool.

He talked board business
with marcus without me?

It's his business too.

Okay, jude was born
with the name kinkade.

You're borrowing it.

And you haven't been
too careful with it lately.

So i'd be thanking
the guy

Not only for
protecting his legacy...

But protecting you.

Jude's not
protecting me.

He went there to vouch for me
because he didn't think

I could
vouch for myself.

Everyone's coming for me,

And the one person i trust
doesn't trust me.

You should
talk to jude.

The plans for the devils
are impressive.

Thank you.

We would've heard them already
if derek hadn't boxed you out

And backed
lionel so hard.

What's changed?

People make mistakes.

The important thing
is owning them.

To the kinkades,
ball is business.

Terrence bleeds for
the devils.

Literally.

He sacrificed everything
out there on that court.

That's who the fans wanna
see running this team.

That's who i wanna
see running this team.

We'll review your offer

And take it into
serious consideration.

Not good enough.

We're not sitting by,

Waiting for lionel to
burn the whole place down.

With derek, sloane, and pete,
we've got a full house.

We own the house.

If you think you
can find anyone

Better to run
the team, go for it.

You've got 24 hours
to accept

Or we're
withdrawing our offer.

This isn't real.

Pete.

What's burning?

You can't think
i'm eating that.

I know it's not
the prettiest.

A head wound
isn't the prettiest.

I wanna be here for you

But all i'm good for is
hooking you up with dudes.

That's not all
you're good for.

You also got me to
cast dudes,

Go to san diego
with a bartender dude,

Get my go-go on with
a dancer dude.

That's kind of
a lot of things.

It really is.

Honestly, kyle,
if it weren't for you,

I wouldn't have done any
of the things i've done

The last few months.

You've pushed me
to take chances.

I'm stronger
because of you.

Strong enough to try
my frittata?

Nobody's that strong.

But... I am strong
enough to call jesse.

Hand me the phone.

I'm sorry to
keep you waiting.

So i reviewed all your
lab work very carefully...

Jelena, your tests show
an ovulation

And endometriosis.

The combination suggests
that your ability

To conceive
is challenged.

How challenged?

Well, there are
fertility pills

And shots,
experimental procedures.

But your endometriosis
is extensive.

So the sooner
you start treatment--

Be straight with me.

It's unlikely...

You'll ever be
able to have a child.

Lionel was here.

She figured out
we were with marcus.

Did you tell her
why we went?

Didn't matter.

She thinks you lost
faith in her.

I'll smooth it
over tomorrow.

It's true, isn't it?

Yeah, it is.

Then you're not gonna wanna
hear why she came by.

Jelena and terrence got
a meeting with the league,

Thanks to sloane.

And lionel's out there
thinking she has no one.

Well, what's
the worst she can do?

Get lost on your way
to the makeup counter?

Prison's really dulled what
limited wit you had.

Must've been devastating

When you thought jude
tracked down

Your medical examiner.

Turns out he did.

You don't say.

I snagged his number.

Had a little chat
with the man.

He recanted everything
on that recording.

Without it, there's
no case against you.

How did you
manage that?

I can be very convincing.

My seat at the arena
is being threatened.

You're gonna help
make sure i keep it.

But be clear, with what
i have over you,

You're on
a very short leash.

you've plead guilty
to manslaughter.

Before i sentence,

Do you have anything to
say on your own behalf?

I went there to
talk to olivia.

It got heated.

I never meant for
what happened to happen.

But it did.

Nothing i can say
will make it right.

I hurt people who will try like
hell to convince me otherwise...

... But i couldn't let them.

What i did...

... I did for love.

Love for ahsha hayes.

No matter what...

... I'm always
gonna love her.

german vega, in accordance

With the laws of
california...

... I sentence you
to 20 years

In a state facility.

It is ordered that
the sheriff

Escort the defendant

To such a correctional
facility immediately.

you killed my wife!

next time, on "hit thefloor"
24-year-old

male, stab wound to the abdomen.

German, i'm here.

hello, son.

Are you crazy?

What were you thinking
getting oscar released?

your sister's
foster care record.

She basically dropped
out of the system.

You find people.

Find her.

You need
to be admitted.

For how long?

We aren't about to
play another round of

Musical chairs
for this team.

The league needs to
make a decision now.
