Make It or Break It (2009–2012): Season 2, Episode 16 - Requiem for a Dream - full transcript
One of The Rock girls must deal with career ending, news.
Well, it looks like
you're about 6 weeks.
It doesn't look
like anything.
It's just a sac at this point.
God, I can't believe it.
How did this happen?
Did you use protection?
That's how it happened.
I only had sex once.
And I've only had one period
in my entire life,
I didn't think...
Emily.
We hear it all here.
Girls who think they can't get pregnant
if they haven't had a period,
girls who think they can't get pregnant
if they have sex during their period,
and girls who think they can't get
pregnant if they have sex standing up.
The fact is, it is never safe
to have sex without protection.
God, she only had her
first kiss last year!
So, you're seventeen and you've
only had, what, one period ever?
Did you ever check that out?
She's an elite gymnast.
She's on the,
National Team.
Oh. Here is some literature
on your options.
Options?
Information on having
a baby and keeping it,
giving it up for adoption.
And information on
ending the pregnancy.
But, what I need you to do now:
is to increase your diet by
300 calories a day,
make sure that you
limit your caffeine,
and that you take a prenatal.
No high impact exercise.
And don't be surprised if you
experience exhaustion, aches,
or nausea, because
it's all normal.
But if you do have any cramps or
bleeding, I want you to call me.
Good luck.
♪ No more doin' nothin' ♪
♪ I got something to prove ♪
♪ No more,
no more feeling useless ♪
♪ I got nothin' to lose ♪
Thank god you're here.
This place will finally
get back to normal.
What's going on here?
You need to shut this down.
Emily can't do this.
Is that because Emily hasn't
yet secured her place on the
team? Because...
No. It's not that.
She's not coming.
And I don't like the idea of a
reporter sniffing around
at such a sensitive time
for the girls.
It's called publicity before the
biggest event of their careers.
The girls need to get
their faces out there.
Here I am!
Here she is, Emily Kmetko,
the third member from the mighty
Rock to qualify for Worlds,
How are you feeling, Emily?
Great. I'm feeling great.
Ready to go.
Have you heard from the NGO about
your status on the World Team?
Um, no, I haven't been cleared.
And your performance in Hungary
probably didn't do you any favors.
That's probably true.
Anybody home?
Hey.
What gives, Smiley?
Well, funny you should ask.
So, you know the label,
that loved me so much until they
decided everything
I wrote was crap?
They love your new songs!
Not exactly.
They did, however,
love one song.
- That's a start, right?
- A big one.
But not only did they love it,
they think it is fantastic.
And they want it to be
my first single.
That's amazing, Damon!
It's the song that
we wrote together.
- And they want us to record it.
- What?
They flipped for the song and
the girl that I sang it with.
Something about her
"heartbreakingly pure voice".
- I don't believe this.
- Believe it, Kaylie Cruz.
You are about to record a single
for a major label.
And I think we should start
working on new songs right away.
We have something hot going.
- As a duo. Musically.
- Yeah.
So Emily, your critics point to
a wildly inconsistent career.
You barely got the last spot on the
National Team, you've had legal troubles,
you were benched in France and
you all but choked in Hungary.
How can you honestly say you
deserve to go to the Championships
of the entire World, in the place of, say,
former National Champ Kelly Parker?
Um, well, I wouldn't say I
deserve it more, but
I would.
Emily earned a spot at
World Team Trials.
Kelly Parker didn't.
End of story.
But you have to agree, Emily, it will
be a highly controversial decision.
If your very vocal fans here
can secure your spot,
the pressure will be on you
to prove that this time,
you deserve it.
Yes. Yes it will.
But I can do it.
Well, that's it
from Boulder.
The three elite gymnasts from
the legendary
Rocky Mountain Gymnastic
Training Center.
Look for them competing
for the USA
in the upcoming World
Championships in Rio.
This could be their year.
Back to training!
Emily? Can I have a word?
My office.
- Ladies, thank you.
- Thank you.
You told the reporter
you're ready for Worlds.
Yup.
So you've made some decisions.
About what?
About your pregnancy.
Did you see a doctor?
This morning.
She said I'm only six weeks so I still
have some time to figure things out.
Emily, you don't have time.
Worlds are right around the corner
and you need to train
your ass off to get ready.
Which you can't do
if you're pregnant.
I can't tell you what to do.
This decision is yours.
But you've got to make it. Now.
And I will make it.
When I find out for sure if I'm
even going to Worlds,
whenever that is.
Can I go?

- That's great.
- Thank you.
You think I'm doing
you a favor here?
Your instincts are amazing.
You're helping finish my album.
And you're
helping me realize
that maybe I could do
something else with my life.
Other than gymnastics.
It's amazing to feel
excited about something
besides a Double Arabian.
That's not the
two-headed horse is it?
That belongs in a
Pink Floyd song,
not our little duet here.
No, It's one of the
moves I thought I had to
starve myself to land.
All my self-worth was
wrapped up in gymnastics.
Not anymore.
And it's just such a relief
to not feel like I have to be
perfect at that one thing.
Perfect is boring.
It's not what being
an artist is all about.
I am not an artist.
Yes. Yes, you are.
You're not only
inspiring these songs,
you're creating them with me.
I was totally blocked until you
rescued me and this album.
I didn't think I'd ever write
another great song without...
Emily?
Are you sure it's over
between you two?
She loves you and you love her.
That doesn't mean we're
right for each other.
Sometimes I think the only thing
that we had in common was our pain.
Love shouldn't have
to be so hard.
If two people just click.
I think we
should probably finish.
Yeah.
Yeah, where were we?
Let's do the chorus again.
Must be weird for you to have
Summer's old boyfriend back.
No weirder than it is for you.
After all, you almost
ruined his career.
You must feel real
comfortable having him back.
Well, I'm pretty sure
I'm not alone
when I say I don't
trust him.
I mean look at this!
Um, hello, she's taken!
Stop that!
If you like it you gotta
put a ring on it.
Ask Summer
to marry you, Daddy.
And you can't give her the
same ring you gave her before.
- Why not?
- It's tainted.
And besides, the second time
around, it has to be bigger.
And better. With a proposal
she cannot refuse.
I think you're right.
Of course I am.
And I already have it picked out.
We can get it this
afternoon.
I can't wait!
Emily. Please. Can we talk?
Nothing to talk about.
Please, talk to me
about this, Emily.
I understand.
I was a pregnant teenager too.
Fantastic.
After fighting it
my entire life,
I ended up exactly like you.
You know, I've been
reading all the literature,
and it's actually quite common,
that when your mother was a
pregnant teen...
Do not quote
"the literature" to me.
I'm not a statistic.
Did you talk to Sasha?
Yup.
Did he give you advice?
Nope, he just said that I
had to make a decision.
Honey, you know you have to.
You can't pretend this isn't happening.
I'm not! It's just every time
I think about it,
my head wants to explode.
Okay, well then let's work
through it, piece by piece,
we'll figure it out.
Do you have a problem
with ending this pregnancy?
Do you?
No. Why would I?
Because you were in my position.
And you had me.
And you are the most
wonderful gift in my life.
I am so lucky to have you.
You're my reason for being.
But I want differently for you.
Well then,
why did you have me?
At the time, I didn't
think I had a choice.
- And I do?
- Of course you do.
Honey, ending a pregnancy
is totally legal at this stage.
It's pretty common.
But is it okay?
Do you mean if it's wrong?
Well some people think that...
...the soul enters the body
when you're born,
some people think that...
...it's when you have sex,
or you conceive,
and some people think that it's when
the baby has its first heartbeat.
And some people don't
believe in souls.
I just think that it's
bigger than any
of us can realize.
Do you think it's wrong?
Well then honey,
what's the problem?
Is it Damon?
Have you told him?
You don't have to tell him.
It's your choice.
You guys aren't even
together anymore.
I'm fully
aware of that, Mom.
And I have stuff to do.
Can we not talk about
this right now?
♪ If you wanna be goofy ♪
♪ Go right ahead ♪
♪ It's fine with me ♪
♪ If you wanna do something ♪
"Of all the seasons,
the best is Summer."
♪ By all means, please ♪
"Without you,
life is a bummer."
♪ You see, we have a choice ♪
"You bring us Sun...
...It's plain to see."
Can we please be a family?
Here.
Summer Van Horn,
will you marry me?
Oh, wow.
I knew you'd love it,
when I saw it I thought
this is it!
The wedding is gonna be epic!
Lauren, give her a
chance to say "yes" first.
So, what do you say?
Ready to make an honest man
out of me?
I need to think about it.
Right.
Sure.
- She's still not dealing with it.
- The clock is ticking.
Do you think there's any chance she
could have the baby, and come back?
No. That is absolutely
not an option.
Elite gymnasts' bodies are
almost artificially small.
Pregnancy changes that forever.
Chloe, one of Emily's
big challenges is her
"have her cake and eat it too"
mentality.
She had a job and didn't tell me, she
was seeing a boy, against the rules.
Didn't tell me.
She thinks she can have it
her way, every time.
This time she can't.
- I wish you would talk to her.
- I did.
No, I want you to
give her some advice.
She looks up to you. Your
opinion would mean a lot to her.
I don't have an opinion.
- You don't have an opinion?
- No.
Frankly Chloe, I wonder whether Emily
has the mettle to go all the way.
This is her decision. And her
decision will show me a lot.
Well, thanks a lot, Coach.
This isn't some test!
This is my daughter's life!
I guess I'll just...
...go somewhere else
to find some help.
And now Damon's label, the one
that produced his first single,
they want us to record
the song we wrote.
I wrote a song, Gene.
So, it strikes you as odd
that you were good enough to do
something besides gymnastics?
It strikes me as odd that anyone
cares about what's really inside me.
What did you think
would happen if you
expressed negative feelings?
I thought I'd be...
...deserted.
But, you put your real feelings
into a song,
and what happened?
They loved it.
It may be time.
Time for what?
Time for you to get back in the
gym and return to gymnastics,
if that's what you choose.
You are in your
target weight range,
and healthy enough
to start training again.
Congratulations.
I thought your routine ended with
a front layout, not a full twist.
So did I. I dunno
where that came from.
Ah, damn it!
You have what is known
as the "twisties".
It's actually quite common
in gymnastics.
Your body compels you to add a
twist almost against your will.
My body never compels
me to do anything.
You're right. It's actually
a psychological affliction.
But just like any mental quirk,
it can be difficult to overcome.
Is there anything in particular
that's weighing on your mind?
Alright then.
You need to come into the gym
early every day
so you and I can work
on getting over this.
You want me to work with you?
Here? Alone?
Lauren, you need to know that
nothing inappropriate
happened between Payson and me.
You have my absolute word.
I'll see you in the morning.
- Is it weird for you having him back?
- A little.
You look like you have more than
just "a little" on your mind.
You're color coding your pens.
Steve asked me to marry him.
What did you say?
- I haven't said anything yet.
- Why not?
I'm not sure.
Lauren needs a mother,
and I know it's supposed to be
me, I can feel it in my bones.
And Steve has changed.
He's really trying hard
to be a better man.
So, what's the problem?
There isn't any chance you still
have feelings for someone else?
Even if I did still
have feelings for Sasha,
he doesn't share my values.
That's because he doesn't know you're
considering marrying someone else.
I think you need to
try one more time.
Just lay it all out there.
See if he can go there with you.
Wow. That was perfect.
Does it ever feel like your broken back was
just a tiny blip on your way to the Olympics?
Tiny blip? Not quite.
It was the biggest
test of my life.
Well, whatever, you're peaking at
the best possible time for Worlds.
Thanks.
You'll be at Worlds, too.
They still haven't
made a decision yet.
You're going.
I'm not going without you.
Do you want me to spot you?
No,
I can't do the bars.
I'm just not feeling
very good. Today.
Emily!
I have some good news.
You have been officially
reinstated on the US World team.
Young lady,
you are going to Rio!
See? What did I tell you?
I'm just going to say it.
You're scaring me a little here.
I'm "with child".
Not funny.
Yeah,
you're telling me.
God, Emily.
How could you do this?
You're not stupid.
You know you can't just...
How many times did somebody
tell you, "no boyfriends"?
This is why, Emily!
This is what happens!
Yeah, I forgot.
You're perfect.
Thanks for the support.
No. No you don't.
I'm not the bad guy here.
I didn't break the rules.
I didn't get knocked up.
So don't try to make me feel bad
because I won't tell you it's okay.
You screwed up.
Because you can never, ever seem
to take gymnastics seriously.
I just need a friend.
The best way I know to be a friend
is to support your gymnastics.
Your mom, Sasha, Marcus...
Everyone keeps giving you
chance after chance because
they believe in you, and
they know you can be great...
But I don't.
I don't believe it.
The truth is, I am not special.
And to be an Olympian you have to
be a one in a billion athlete.
- You have to be special.
- You are.
I'm not.
I'm not as good
as everybody thinks I am.
Emily, you just made
the World Team.
Because of more
"special chances".
I don't want people to support
me because they think that
I could become
something or someone.
God, the pressure is
killing me.
I know it's hard,
I know it's hard,
but you've got to stay
mentally tough here.
You know, maybe this is just
a sign from the universe,
maybe...
...maybe this is just
gonna be an easier path for me.
Maybe I should just
have this baby...
You can't honestly believe that
having a baby and raising it
alone and being a teen mom
is "the easier path" here.
Please tell me you're
not that crazy.
I don't know
what I am right now.
Come here, it's fine.
All quiet on the
gymnastics front.
I think I'm going to head home.
Maybe you can finally have
that conversation with Sasha.
Alone.
You have to try.
- Night, guys.
- Good night.
Long day?
Is everything okay?
Are you happy you came back
to The Rock?
I'm happy to see
the things I've missed.
Summer, you've always been
somebody I could confide in,
and I know you'll be discreet.
I've just never had to deal with
a situation like this before.
Sasha, what's wrong?
Emily Kmetko is pregnant.
Oh my.
Poor thing.
Why is she still training?
What have you told her?
Nothing.
- I'm staying out of it.
- She's a teenage girl.
She needs your guidance, however
difficult that might be for you.
You have to tell her that
she has our love and support,
and that everything will be okay
when she has the baby.
- I can't tell her that.
- Why not?
Because I don't
want her to have the baby.
I want her to go to Worlds,
and the Olympics.
I want her to get medals and
endorsements
and get her family out of the
dank corridor they live in.
I want her to get college scholarships
and make something of her life.
So, no, Summer, it's not
going to be "okay".
This mistake will end
her entire career.
It's already over.
It ended the day she
had sex and got pregnant.
That's the day it ended.
And this child
is a human being, Sasha.
It's not some game piece you can just
move around to help Emily's career.
And having a baby
won't end her life.
It will end the one
I want for her.
Look I respect your very
strong opinion on this issue.
But I also hope that you
can understand mine.
I'm sorry. I can't.
And I won't.

You know how it feels.
Don't pretend you don't.
Look, it's okay.
Emily and I are broken up.
No, it's not okay.
She's still my friend, Damon.
And I'm not going to hurt her.
What is that smell?
I'm going to hurl.
Is it this? No?
This?
Oh!
Look, there.
All gone.
Thanks for this, Mom.
Honey, I want you to know
that I'm here for you.
100 percent.
You take as much time
as you need to
make whatever
decision you want.
Your mama's here.
Thank you for coming.
Thank you for confiding in me.
I know Emily thinks we're all
monsters at the NGO
but I really want to help.
What's he doing here?
It's okay, Emily. Your mom did
the right thing by calling me.
You told the NGO?
They want to ruin my life.
Emily, I've been
through this before.
Another gymnast got pregnant?
What happened?
We took care of it,
and she went on to make the
National Team that year.
Look, at this point, it's a lot more emotionally
draining than it is physically draining.
You can have the procedure
on a Friday,
be back training on a Monday.
I am so sick of you people
controlling everything I do!
Who I can see, where I can go.
And now you want
to control this?
Well guess what?
You can't.
I get to decide what
I do with my body!
You cannot make me do anything.
I have a choice!
Emily, please,
I'm here to help.
I've grown really close
to you and your mother...
What's that supposed to mean?
What's going on between you two?
- Nothing, nothing.
- Nothing.
And why did I get to go to
Worlds when I choked in Hungary?
Well, I fought for you,
Emily, I did...
...because I wanted yo5
to have another chance.
Do you know what
your chances feel like?
Like lead around my neck.
Like a constant reminder that
I am not good enough.
Emily, you're hormonal,
okay, just calm down.
No! I won't!
Nobody understands!
You know what, Damon will.
Damon will understand.
And he will be there for me.
Honey, we are here for you.
We are.
And I read that 80 percent of teen
fathers leave after the first year.
Enough with
the literature!
That is not my baby's father.
That is not Damon!
He loves me.
He'll take care of me.
How long do I have to do these?
You're relearning the move in
pieces.
So your body doesn't have a
chance to add a twist.
Go again.
The "twisties" are about
convincing your mind
that your body is
completely safe.
Are you convinced you're safe?
All right now, show me.
Excellent! That is the quickest
turnaround of the "twisties" I've...
What's wrong?
Are you hurt?
No, it's not that.
Not at all.
It's just... you really
cared about helping me.
Of course I did. I'm your coach
and you are an extraordinary
gymnast, Lauren.
Capable of truly winning it all.
I've always been here for you.
I didn't think you noticed me.
I thought you only saw me as
less than Payson and Kaylie.
Even Emily.
And here I always felt a bit
shut out when it came to you.
I never thought you
were willing to let me in.
Looks like we were
both wrong, huh?
You and I are a team,
from here on out.
Emily, what are you doing here?
You broke up with me, remember?
And I'm tired of the
push-pull...
When you said you'd wait for me
until 2012, did you mean it?
Did you mean that
you'd love me till then?
How many times are we
going to go through this?
- Please! Just answer me.
- Yes, yes, I meant it.
I thought that we would...
...I thought we'd be
together forever.
What if forever can be now?
What if we don't have to wait
until Worlds or the Olympics
or for the NGO to stop controlling
my life to have our dream?
What are you talking about?
I'm pregnant.
We don't have to wait
to have our happy ending.
We can just be
together right now.
We can have this baby,
we can have a family,
and I can come on tour with you.
What's the matter?
Don't you want to be happy?
And what about your dream?
All that you've worked for?
- We both had dreams...
- My dream is killing me,
and this is my way out.
I'm telling you,
all I feel is relief!
I'm so excited to finally
start my life with you
and do everything
that we planned.
This is going to be great!
I'm going to go home right now,
and I'm gonna pack.
I'm going to move in
with you, okay?
I need you, Damon.
This is going to be great.
It's exactly what I want.
We don't have to wait
for our happy ending.
We have it.
Snack time!
I got the juiciest Fuji apples
from the farmer's market.
Mind if I join you?
I'm not really hungry.
Kaylie, we're on a program now
and it's working.
You can't go back
to restricting.
No, it's not that, Mom.
I promise.
I just...
I have something on my mind.
And I'm learning that
to be healthy
you have to be totally honest, and
sometimes that's really hard.
Honey, don't forget
how far you've come.
Admitting that you have a
problem is the biggest step
you could take towards your recovery
because it's the part you had to do alone.
Now you have the support of
people that love you.
Not to mention the new tools and coping
mechanisms you've learned from Gene...
You can do whatever
you need to do.
I know.
You're right.
- Who is it?
- It's Kaylie.
If you're here to tell
me how much you believe in me,
you're wasting your time.
I don't really know what
you're talking about.
But that's not why I'm here.
I need to talk to you.
About Damon.
Packing or unpacking?
What about Damon?
Look, Emily, I've learned that
I do have a disease
and a big part of that is
not telling the truth.
And I can't do that anymore.
I need to have integrity
and tell the truth now,
no matter what.
The truth about what?
Damon and I kissed.
But, it was one time and we just
caught up in the music and
it didn't
mean anything, Emily.
Look, I know you two
were broken up,
but that doesn't matter.
I know what it's like to
be betrayed by a friend
and I'd never do that to you.
I needed to come clean.
Emily. Did you hear me?
I know this really sucks.
I'm so sorry.
Sixteen and pregnant...
I'm sorry, did I hear "yes",
a turkey burger?
I didn't know I was pregnant,
Teen Mom...
Have you ever noticed our culture is
obsessed with girls having babies?
I mean, they're on
magazine covers now!
Where is all this
anger coming from?
Emily's pregnant.
Oh, no.
Poor Emily.
Poor Emily?
What about poor team?
Her stupid mistake
is hurting all of us.
Don't you think you're being
a little harsh?
So what if I am?
Emily was selfish.
You can't have a career
and a boyfriend.
She knew that.
I get why you're upset.
I know how hard you've worked
to get on the World Team.
But so did Emily.
Think how she must feel.
But what am I supposed to do?
We all put up with so much
crap from each other
because we're not just friends.
We're a team.
And we go through the most grueling
training in the world together.
And she just deserted us!
- She didn't desert you, Payson.
- Yes! She did!
And I'm so tired of trying to lead a
team who doesn't care as much as I do.
Well, I'll tell you something.
You don't sound like much
of a leader right now.
We need to see Emily.
She's not here.
Ms. Kmetko, we know why she
doesn't want to see anyone.
She needs us. We're her team
and we are here for her.
- She's not here.
- Where is she?
She's on a bus, to Las Vegas,
to see her godmother.
She decided to have the baby.
She's gone?
You girls keep
fighting now, okay.
We need to do something.
There isn't anything to do.
I don't want to be
alone right now.
Me neither.
So where should we go?
What do we do?
I know.

Gymnastics camp is
where we belong right now.
It's like our church.
Well, before we drove 2 1/2 hours to
"church" we could've picked up some food.
I was so mad at her.
I was so damn mad at her.
I don't think even our parents
understand what we go through.
What team really means to us.
No one understands.
Gymnastics is so hard.
And team it's like...
...the other soldiers in the
foxhole with you.
In a war.
Team is like...
...our tightly woven
little safety net.
Pull one thread and the whole
thing can just fall apart.
This feels like a wake.
I knew she'd never make it.
I did.
But I also understand
something you both don't.
I understand why Emily
is keeping the baby.
She has this little child,
that will always love her,
no matter what.
And a great guy
who will adore her
forever and ever.
And I can understand
wanting to keep that.
You know what
the worst part is?
She was good enough.
She could've gone all the way.
She was the real deal.
But she couldn't
keep it together.
And she was one of us.
She'll always be a part of us.
Oh, hey, remember this?
- Crap.
- What do we do now?
Maybe we should just head back.
Your parents are
going to kill us.
- I don't want to go back.
- Neither do I.
I just wanna stay here.
No. I mean,
I don't want to go back.
Back to hiding from gymnastics.
I'm not ready to
give up on this dream.
I don't want to lose everything
that I've worked for.
I want to go back.
To training. To The Rock.
Finally. We have
missed you so much.
And we really need you.
You have no idea how much I miss
you and need you guys too.
It's like a funeral.
For them I think it is.
Think we should go in?
No, let's give them
a couple more moments.
So what do we do now?
Do what we always do.
Like when Lauren beat you
for best gymnast at camp
when we were ten and you two
swore you'd never speak again.
Or when you guys
fought over Carter,
or when I broke my back.
I mean, we move forward.
To the Olympic podium.
Just like we
promised each other.
Hey! Why do you guys
always get to have the fun?
We thought you'd be mad at us.
Not this time, kiddo.
You guys have no idea
how hungry we are.
We kinda had a feeling.
And we thought we'd
all camp out together.
Is that okay?
We also come to
share some news.
I don't how much more news
I can handle today.
You said it.
I think you'll want
to hear this news.
OK, The news is...
we just got word.
The new coach for the United
States team
going to the World
Championships... is Sasha Belov.
All right, let's eat.
Please say you
brought marshmallows.
== sync, corrected by elderman ==
you're about 6 weeks.
It doesn't look
like anything.
It's just a sac at this point.
God, I can't believe it.
How did this happen?
Did you use protection?
That's how it happened.
I only had sex once.
And I've only had one period
in my entire life,
I didn't think...
Emily.
We hear it all here.
Girls who think they can't get pregnant
if they haven't had a period,
girls who think they can't get pregnant
if they have sex during their period,
and girls who think they can't get
pregnant if they have sex standing up.
The fact is, it is never safe
to have sex without protection.
God, she only had her
first kiss last year!
So, you're seventeen and you've
only had, what, one period ever?
Did you ever check that out?
She's an elite gymnast.
She's on the,
National Team.
Oh. Here is some literature
on your options.
Options?
Information on having
a baby and keeping it,
giving it up for adoption.
And information on
ending the pregnancy.
But, what I need you to do now:
is to increase your diet by
300 calories a day,
make sure that you
limit your caffeine,
and that you take a prenatal.
No high impact exercise.
And don't be surprised if you
experience exhaustion, aches,
or nausea, because
it's all normal.
But if you do have any cramps or
bleeding, I want you to call me.
Good luck.
♪ No more doin' nothin' ♪
♪ I got something to prove ♪
♪ No more,
no more feeling useless ♪
♪ I got nothin' to lose ♪
Thank god you're here.
This place will finally
get back to normal.
What's going on here?
You need to shut this down.
Emily can't do this.
Is that because Emily hasn't
yet secured her place on the
team? Because...
No. It's not that.
She's not coming.
And I don't like the idea of a
reporter sniffing around
at such a sensitive time
for the girls.
It's called publicity before the
biggest event of their careers.
The girls need to get
their faces out there.
Here I am!
Here she is, Emily Kmetko,
the third member from the mighty
Rock to qualify for Worlds,
How are you feeling, Emily?
Great. I'm feeling great.
Ready to go.
Have you heard from the NGO about
your status on the World Team?
Um, no, I haven't been cleared.
And your performance in Hungary
probably didn't do you any favors.
That's probably true.
Anybody home?
Hey.
What gives, Smiley?
Well, funny you should ask.
So, you know the label,
that loved me so much until they
decided everything
I wrote was crap?
They love your new songs!
Not exactly.
They did, however,
love one song.
- That's a start, right?
- A big one.
But not only did they love it,
they think it is fantastic.
And they want it to be
my first single.
That's amazing, Damon!
It's the song that
we wrote together.
- And they want us to record it.
- What?
They flipped for the song and
the girl that I sang it with.
Something about her
"heartbreakingly pure voice".
- I don't believe this.
- Believe it, Kaylie Cruz.
You are about to record a single
for a major label.
And I think we should start
working on new songs right away.
We have something hot going.
- As a duo. Musically.
- Yeah.
So Emily, your critics point to
a wildly inconsistent career.
You barely got the last spot on the
National Team, you've had legal troubles,
you were benched in France and
you all but choked in Hungary.
How can you honestly say you
deserve to go to the Championships
of the entire World, in the place of, say,
former National Champ Kelly Parker?
Um, well, I wouldn't say I
deserve it more, but
I would.
Emily earned a spot at
World Team Trials.
Kelly Parker didn't.
End of story.
But you have to agree, Emily, it will
be a highly controversial decision.
If your very vocal fans here
can secure your spot,
the pressure will be on you
to prove that this time,
you deserve it.
Yes. Yes it will.
But I can do it.
Well, that's it
from Boulder.
The three elite gymnasts from
the legendary
Rocky Mountain Gymnastic
Training Center.
Look for them competing
for the USA
in the upcoming World
Championships in Rio.
This could be their year.
Back to training!
Emily? Can I have a word?
My office.
- Ladies, thank you.
- Thank you.
You told the reporter
you're ready for Worlds.
Yup.
So you've made some decisions.
About what?
About your pregnancy.
Did you see a doctor?
This morning.
She said I'm only six weeks so I still
have some time to figure things out.
Emily, you don't have time.
Worlds are right around the corner
and you need to train
your ass off to get ready.
Which you can't do
if you're pregnant.
I can't tell you what to do.
This decision is yours.
But you've got to make it. Now.
And I will make it.
When I find out for sure if I'm
even going to Worlds,
whenever that is.
Can I go?

- Thank you.
You think I'm doing
you a favor here?
Your instincts are amazing.
You're helping finish my album.
And you're
helping me realize
that maybe I could do
something else with my life.
Other than gymnastics.
It's amazing to feel
excited about something
besides a Double Arabian.
That's not the
two-headed horse is it?
That belongs in a
Pink Floyd song,
not our little duet here.
No, It's one of the
moves I thought I had to
starve myself to land.
All my self-worth was
wrapped up in gymnastics.
Not anymore.
And it's just such a relief
to not feel like I have to be
perfect at that one thing.
Perfect is boring.
It's not what being
an artist is all about.
I am not an artist.
Yes. Yes, you are.
You're not only
inspiring these songs,
you're creating them with me.
I was totally blocked until you
rescued me and this album.
I didn't think I'd ever write
another great song without...
Emily?
Are you sure it's over
between you two?
She loves you and you love her.
That doesn't mean we're
right for each other.
Sometimes I think the only thing
that we had in common was our pain.
Love shouldn't have
to be so hard.
If two people just click.
I think we
should probably finish.
Yeah.
Yeah, where were we?
Let's do the chorus again.
Must be weird for you to have
Summer's old boyfriend back.
No weirder than it is for you.
After all, you almost
ruined his career.
You must feel real
comfortable having him back.
Well, I'm pretty sure
I'm not alone
when I say I don't
trust him.
I mean look at this!
Um, hello, she's taken!
Stop that!
If you like it you gotta
put a ring on it.
Ask Summer
to marry you, Daddy.
And you can't give her the
same ring you gave her before.
- Why not?
- It's tainted.
And besides, the second time
around, it has to be bigger.
And better. With a proposal
she cannot refuse.
I think you're right.
Of course I am.
And I already have it picked out.
We can get it this
afternoon.
I can't wait!
Emily. Please. Can we talk?
Nothing to talk about.
Please, talk to me
about this, Emily.
I understand.
I was a pregnant teenager too.
Fantastic.
After fighting it
my entire life,
I ended up exactly like you.
You know, I've been
reading all the literature,
and it's actually quite common,
that when your mother was a
pregnant teen...
Do not quote
"the literature" to me.
I'm not a statistic.
Did you talk to Sasha?
Yup.
Did he give you advice?
Nope, he just said that I
had to make a decision.
Honey, you know you have to.
You can't pretend this isn't happening.
I'm not! It's just every time
I think about it,
my head wants to explode.
Okay, well then let's work
through it, piece by piece,
we'll figure it out.
Do you have a problem
with ending this pregnancy?
Do you?
No. Why would I?
Because you were in my position.
And you had me.
And you are the most
wonderful gift in my life.
I am so lucky to have you.
You're my reason for being.
But I want differently for you.
Well then,
why did you have me?
At the time, I didn't
think I had a choice.
- And I do?
- Of course you do.
Honey, ending a pregnancy
is totally legal at this stage.
It's pretty common.
But is it okay?
Do you mean if it's wrong?
Well some people think that...
...the soul enters the body
when you're born,
some people think that...
...it's when you have sex,
or you conceive,
and some people think that it's when
the baby has its first heartbeat.
And some people don't
believe in souls.
I just think that it's
bigger than any
of us can realize.
Do you think it's wrong?
Well then honey,
what's the problem?
Is it Damon?
Have you told him?
You don't have to tell him.
It's your choice.
You guys aren't even
together anymore.
I'm fully
aware of that, Mom.
And I have stuff to do.
Can we not talk about
this right now?
♪ If you wanna be goofy ♪
♪ Go right ahead ♪
♪ It's fine with me ♪

Here.
Summer Van Horn,
will you marry me?
Oh, wow.
I knew you'd love it,
when I saw it I thought
this is it!
The wedding is gonna be epic!
Lauren, give her a
chance to say "yes" first.
So, what do you say?
Ready to make an honest man
out of me?
I need to think about it.
Right.
Sure.
- She's still not dealing with it.
- The clock is ticking.
Do you think there's any chance she
could have the baby, and come back?
No. That is absolutely
not an option.
Elite gymnasts' bodies are
almost artificially small.
Pregnancy changes that forever.
Chloe, one of Emily's
big challenges is her
"have her cake and eat it too"
mentality.
She had a job and didn't tell me, she
was seeing a boy, against the rules.
Didn't tell me.
She thinks she can have it
her way, every time.
This time she can't.
- I wish you would talk to her.
- I did.
No, I want you to
give her some advice.
She looks up to you. Your
opinion would mean a lot to her.
I don't have an opinion.
- You don't have an opinion?
- No.
Frankly Chloe, I wonder whether Emily
has the mettle to go all the way.
This is her decision. And her
decision will show me a lot.
Well, thanks a lot, Coach.
This isn't some test!
This is my daughter's life!
I guess I'll just...
...go somewhere else
to find some help.
And now Damon's label, the one
that produced his first single,
they want us to record
the song we wrote.
I wrote a song, Gene.
So, it strikes you as odd
that you were good enough to do
something besides gymnastics?
It strikes me as odd that anyone
cares about what's really inside me.
What did you think
would happen if you
expressed negative feelings?
I thought I'd be...
...deserted.
But, you put your real feelings
into a song,
and what happened?
They loved it.
It may be time.
Time for what?
Time for you to get back in the
gym and return to gymnastics,
if that's what you choose.
You are in your
target weight range,
and healthy enough
to start training again.
Congratulations.
I thought your routine ended with
a front layout, not a full twist.
So did I. I dunno
where that came from.
Ah, damn it!
You have what is known
as the "twisties".
It's actually quite common
in gymnastics.
Your body compels you to add a
twist almost against your will.
My body never compels
me to do anything.
You're right. It's actually
a psychological affliction.
But just like any mental quirk,
it can be difficult to overcome.
Is there anything in particular
that's weighing on your mind?
Alright then.
You need to come into the gym
early every day
so you and I can work
on getting over this.
You want me to work with you?
Here? Alone?
Lauren, you need to know that
nothing inappropriate
happened between Payson and me.
You have my absolute word.
I'll see you in the morning.
- Is it weird for you having him back?
- A little.
You look like you have more than
just "a little" on your mind.
You're color coding your pens.
Steve asked me to marry him.
What did you say?
- I haven't said anything yet.
- Why not?
I'm not sure.
Lauren needs a mother,
and I know it's supposed to be
me, I can feel it in my bones.
And Steve has changed.
He's really trying hard
to be a better man.
So, what's the problem?
There isn't any chance you still
have feelings for someone else?
Even if I did still
have feelings for Sasha,
he doesn't share my values.
That's because he doesn't know you're
considering marrying someone else.
I think you need to
try one more time.
Just lay it all out there.
See if he can go there with you.
Wow. That was perfect.
Does it ever feel like your broken back was
just a tiny blip on your way to the Olympics?
Tiny blip? Not quite.
It was the biggest
test of my life.
Well, whatever, you're peaking at
the best possible time for Worlds.
Thanks.
You'll be at Worlds, too.
They still haven't
made a decision yet.
You're going.
I'm not going without you.
Do you want me to spot you?
No,
I can't do the bars.
I'm just not feeling
very good. Today.
Emily!
I have some good news.
You have been officially
reinstated on the US World team.
Young lady,
you are going to Rio!
See? What did I tell you?
I'm just going to say it.
You're scaring me a little here.
I'm "with child".
Not funny.
Yeah,
you're telling me.
God, Emily.
How could you do this?
You're not stupid.
You know you can't just...
How many times did somebody
tell you, "no boyfriends"?
This is why, Emily!
This is what happens!
Yeah, I forgot.
You're perfect.
Thanks for the support.
No. No you don't.
I'm not the bad guy here.
I didn't break the rules.
I didn't get knocked up.
So don't try to make me feel bad
because I won't tell you it's okay.
You screwed up.
Because you can never, ever seem
to take gymnastics seriously.
I just need a friend.
The best way I know to be a friend
is to support your gymnastics.
Your mom, Sasha, Marcus...
Everyone keeps giving you
chance after chance because
they believe in you, and
they know you can be great...
But I don't.
I don't believe it.
The truth is, I am not special.
And to be an Olympian you have to
be a one in a billion athlete.
- You have to be special.
- You are.
I'm not.
I'm not as good
as everybody thinks I am.
Emily, you just made
the World Team.
Because of more
"special chances".
I don't want people to support
me because they think that
I could become
something or someone.
God, the pressure is
killing me.
I know it's hard,
I know it's hard,
but you've got to stay
mentally tough here.
You know, maybe this is just
a sign from the universe,
maybe...
...maybe this is just
gonna be an easier path for me.
Maybe I should just
have this baby...
You can't honestly believe that
having a baby and raising it
alone and being a teen mom
is "the easier path" here.
Please tell me you're
not that crazy.
I don't know
what I am right now.
Come here, it's fine.
All quiet on the
gymnastics front.
I think I'm going to head home.
Maybe you can finally have
that conversation with Sasha.
Alone.
You have to try.
- Night, guys.
- Good night.
Long day?
Is everything okay?
Are you happy you came back
to The Rock?
I'm happy to see
the things I've missed.
Summer, you've always been
somebody I could confide in,
and I know you'll be discreet.
I've just never had to deal with
a situation like this before.
Sasha, what's wrong?
Emily Kmetko is pregnant.
Oh my.
Poor thing.
Why is she still training?
What have you told her?
Nothing.
- I'm staying out of it.
- She's a teenage girl.
She needs your guidance, however
difficult that might be for you.
You have to tell her that
she has our love and support,
and that everything will be okay
when she has the baby.
- I can't tell her that.
- Why not?
Because I don't
want her to have the baby.
I want her to go to Worlds,
and the Olympics.
I want her to get medals and
endorsements
and get her family out of the
dank corridor they live in.
I want her to get college scholarships
and make something of her life.
So, no, Summer, it's not
going to be "okay".
This mistake will end
her entire career.
It's already over.
It ended the day she
had sex and got pregnant.
That's the day it ended.
And this child
is a human being, Sasha.
It's not some game piece you can just
move around to help Emily's career.
And having a baby
won't end her life.
It will end the one
I want for her.
Look I respect your very
strong opinion on this issue.
But I also hope that you
can understand mine.
I'm sorry. I can't.
And I won't.

And I'm not going to hurt her.
What is that smell?
I'm going to hurl.
Is it this? No?
This?
Oh!
Look, there.
All gone.
Thanks for this, Mom.
Honey, I want you to know
that I'm here for you.
100 percent.
You take as much time
as you need to
make whatever
decision you want.
Your mama's here.
Thank you for coming.
Thank you for confiding in me.
I know Emily thinks we're all
monsters at the NGO
but I really want to help.
What's he doing here?
It's okay, Emily. Your mom did
the right thing by calling me.
You told the NGO?
They want to ruin my life.
Emily, I've been
through this before.
Another gymnast got pregnant?
What happened?
We took care of it,
and she went on to make the
National Team that year.
Look, at this point, it's a lot more emotionally
draining than it is physically draining.
You can have the procedure
on a Friday,
be back training on a Monday.
I am so sick of you people
controlling everything I do!
Who I can see, where I can go.
And now you want
to control this?
Well guess what?
You can't.
I get to decide what
I do with my body!
You cannot make me do anything.
I have a choice!
Emily, please,
I'm here to help.
I've grown really close
to you and your mother...
What's that supposed to mean?
What's going on between you two?
- Nothing, nothing.
- Nothing.
And why did I get to go to
Worlds when I choked in Hungary?
Well, I fought for you,
Emily, I did...
...because I wanted yo5
to have another chance.
Do you know what
your chances feel like?
Like lead around my neck.
Like a constant reminder that
I am not good enough.
Emily, you're hormonal,
okay, just calm down.
No! I won't!
Nobody understands!
You know what, Damon will.
Damon will understand.
And he will be there for me.
Honey, we are here for you.
We are.
And I read that 80 percent of teen
fathers leave after the first year.
Enough with
the literature!
That is not my baby's father.
That is not Damon!
He loves me.
He'll take care of me.
How long do I have to do these?
You're relearning the move in
pieces.
So your body doesn't have a
chance to add a twist.
Go again.
The "twisties" are about
convincing your mind
that your body is
completely safe.
Are you convinced you're safe?
All right now, show me.
Excellent! That is the quickest
turnaround of the "twisties" I've...
What's wrong?
Are you hurt?
No, it's not that.
Not at all.
It's just... you really
cared about helping me.
Of course I did. I'm your coach
and you are an extraordinary
gymnast, Lauren.
Capable of truly winning it all.
I've always been here for you.
I didn't think you noticed me.
I thought you only saw me as
less than Payson and Kaylie.
Even Emily.
And here I always felt a bit
shut out when it came to you.
I never thought you
were willing to let me in.
Looks like we were
both wrong, huh?
You and I are a team,
from here on out.
Emily, what are you doing here?
You broke up with me, remember?
And I'm tired of the
push-pull...
When you said you'd wait for me
until 2012, did you mean it?
Did you mean that
you'd love me till then?
How many times are we
going to go through this?
- Please! Just answer me.
- Yes, yes, I meant it.
I thought that we would...
...I thought we'd be
together forever.
What if forever can be now?
What if we don't have to wait
until Worlds or the Olympics
or for the NGO to stop controlling
my life to have our dream?
What are you talking about?
I'm pregnant.
We don't have to wait
to have our happy ending.
We can just be
together right now.
We can have this baby,
we can have a family,
and I can come on tour with you.
What's the matter?
Don't you want to be happy?
And what about your dream?
All that you've worked for?
- We both had dreams...
- My dream is killing me,
and this is my way out.
I'm telling you,
all I feel is relief!
I'm so excited to finally
start my life with you
and do everything
that we planned.
This is going to be great!
I'm going to go home right now,
and I'm gonna pack.
I'm going to move in
with you, okay?
I need you, Damon.
This is going to be great.
It's exactly what I want.
We don't have to wait
for our happy ending.
We have it.
Snack time!
I got the juiciest Fuji apples
from the farmer's market.
Mind if I join you?
I'm not really hungry.
Kaylie, we're on a program now
and it's working.
You can't go back
to restricting.
No, it's not that, Mom.
I promise.
I just...
I have something on my mind.
And I'm learning that
to be healthy
you have to be totally honest, and
sometimes that's really hard.
Honey, don't forget
how far you've come.
Admitting that you have a
problem is the biggest step
you could take towards your recovery
because it's the part you had to do alone.
Now you have the support of
people that love you.
Not to mention the new tools and coping
mechanisms you've learned from Gene...
You can do whatever
you need to do.
I know.
You're right.
- Who is it?
- It's Kaylie.
If you're here to tell
me how much you believe in me,
you're wasting your time.
I don't really know what
you're talking about.
But that's not why I'm here.
I need to talk to you.
About Damon.
Packing or unpacking?
What about Damon?
Look, Emily, I've learned that
I do have a disease
and a big part of that is
not telling the truth.
And I can't do that anymore.
I need to have integrity
and tell the truth now,
no matter what.
The truth about what?
Damon and I kissed.
But, it was one time and we just
caught up in the music and
it didn't
mean anything, Emily.
Look, I know you two
were broken up,
but that doesn't matter.
I know what it's like to
be betrayed by a friend
and I'd never do that to you.
I needed to come clean.
Emily. Did you hear me?
I know this really sucks.
I'm so sorry.
Sixteen and pregnant...
I'm sorry, did I hear "yes",
a turkey burger?
I didn't know I was pregnant,
Teen Mom...
Have you ever noticed our culture is
obsessed with girls having babies?
I mean, they're on
magazine covers now!
Where is all this
anger coming from?
Emily's pregnant.
Oh, no.
Poor Emily.
Poor Emily?
What about poor team?
Her stupid mistake
is hurting all of us.
Don't you think you're being
a little harsh?
So what if I am?
Emily was selfish.
You can't have a career
and a boyfriend.
She knew that.
I get why you're upset.
I know how hard you've worked
to get on the World Team.
But so did Emily.
Think how she must feel.
But what am I supposed to do?
We all put up with so much
crap from each other
because we're not just friends.
We're a team.
And we go through the most grueling
training in the world together.
And she just deserted us!
- She didn't desert you, Payson.
- Yes! She did!
And I'm so tired of trying to lead a
team who doesn't care as much as I do.
Well, I'll tell you something.
You don't sound like much
of a leader right now.
We need to see Emily.
She's not here.
Ms. Kmetko, we know why she
doesn't want to see anyone.
She needs us. We're her team
and we are here for her.
- She's not here.
- Where is she?
She's on a bus, to Las Vegas,
to see her godmother.
She decided to have the baby.
She's gone?
You girls keep
fighting now, okay.
We need to do something.
There isn't anything to do.
I don't want to be
alone right now.
Me neither.
So where should we go?
What do we do?
I know.

Gymnastics camp is
where we belong right now.
It's like our church.
Well, before we drove 2 1/2 hours to
"church" we could've picked up some food.
I was so mad at her.
I was so damn mad at her.
I don't think even our parents
understand what we go through.
What team really means to us.
No one understands.
Gymnastics is so hard.
And team it's like...
...the other soldiers in the
foxhole with you.
In a war.
Team is like...
...our tightly woven
little safety net.
Pull one thread and the whole
thing can just fall apart.
This feels like a wake.
I knew she'd never make it.
I did.
But I also understand
something you both don't.
I understand why Emily
is keeping the baby.
She has this little child,
that will always love her,
no matter what.
And a great guy
who will adore her
forever and ever.
And I can understand
wanting to keep that.
You know what
the worst part is?
She was good enough.
She could've gone all the way.
She was the real deal.
But she couldn't
keep it together.
And she was one of us.
She'll always be a part of us.
Oh, hey, remember this?
- Crap.
- What do we do now?
Maybe we should just head back.
Your parents are
going to kill us.
- I don't want to go back.
- Neither do I.
I just wanna stay here.
No. I mean,
I don't want to go back.
Back to hiding from gymnastics.
I'm not ready to
give up on this dream.
I don't want to lose everything
that I've worked for.
I want to go back.
To training. To The Rock.
Finally. We have
missed you so much.
And we really need you.
You have no idea how much I miss
you and need you guys too.
It's like a funeral.
For them I think it is.
Think we should go in?
No, let's give them
a couple more moments.
So what do we do now?
Do what we always do.
Like when Lauren beat you
for best gymnast at camp
when we were ten and you two
swore you'd never speak again.
Or when you guys
fought over Carter,
or when I broke my back.
I mean, we move forward.
To the Olympic podium.
Just like we
promised each other.
Hey! Why do you guys
always get to have the fun?
We thought you'd be mad at us.
Not this time, kiddo.
You guys have no idea
how hungry we are.
We kinda had a feeling.
And we thought we'd
all camp out together.
Is that okay?
We also come to
share some news.
I don't how much more news
I can handle today.
You said it.
I think you'll want
to hear this news.
OK, The news is...
we just got word.
The new coach for the United
States team
going to the World
Championships... is Sasha Belov.
All right, let's eat.
Please say you
brought marshmallows.
