Make It or Break It (2009–2012): Season 3, Episode 5 - Dream On - full transcript
Some dreams come to an end as the girls compete to make the Olympics team.
The girl I put you with
is your other half.
Payson and Lauren
are not perfect.
You and me, girl.
All the way.
Coach McIntire knew all the
choreography to our routines
even though we
never showed him?
Jordan's the narc.
You're dead to us.
I made an appointment for you
with the TC doctor.
I talked to Dr. Curtis.
She told me you have an irregular heartbeat.
My life, my call.
Take
a good look around, ladies.
This is the last week all of you
will be standing here together.
May I introduce
Miss Regina Turner,
the new head
of the NGO Olympic Committee
and former all-around champion.
She is here to help judge
the elimination rounds.
- Hello, ladies.
- The numbers inside this cap
will determine which day your
team performs for the committee.
One team member
will pick for your team.
Ms. Turner, can you tell these
young ladies what to expect?
More like what not to expect.
We could ask you to perform on
only one apparatus or all four.
Be ready for anything.
Think of it
as a gymnastics pop quiz.
When these two days are complete, Coach
McIntire and the NGO will determine
if you have what it takes
to remain here
and continue to fight
for a spot on the Olympic team.
But in this round
if you fail to impress,
you will be sent home.
Any questions?
Well then,
what are you waiting for?
- Oh, we're day two!
- Thank God.
- Us, too.
- We're day one!
You say that
like it's a good thing.
One's my lucky number.
Yeah, well,
not this time.
Competing on day two means
you have more time to prepare.
Plus, the judges make their
decisions at the end of day two.
They've just seen you perform,
so you're fresh in their minds.
Look, day one girls are like the
appetizers nobody wants to fill up on,
which makes you two
pigs in a blanket
and us filet mignon.
Well, that just means we'll be kicking
your ass one day earlier, so...
All right, all right. Until we
complete the elimination round,
we are imposing a strict curfew.
No one in or out
after seven p.m.
- Why?
- Because I want your head in the game.
That work for you, Keeler?
I suggest you all make
the most of practice time.
Your future depends on it.
Keep breathing.
Let your shoulders drop.
Feel the weight
holding them down.
You mean
like someone's on my back?
I am so feeling it.
You need to start
taking this seriously.
You're the one
who needs to chill.
You've been watching me
like a hawk all week.
I'm just trying to help. Stress
could cause another episode.
Dr. Curtis said I've probably had
this arrhythmia my entire life,
and I've never had
any problems before.
But you do now!
Only a cardiologist will be able to
tell you what's going on with you.
Which is why I have an appointment
with the one Dr. Curtis recommended
right after NGO cuts.
So, let's dial back the attitude.
All right, all right.
I'm just uptight.
Even more than usual.
Rigo's finally back
from his meet,
and we were supposed
to see each other tonight.
So? See him after cuts, Pay.
Really? Now, that's so not
how I thought you would react.
- What'd you think I'd say?
- That I don't need the extra rest tonight
because we're not up till day two, which
means tomorrow is just a practice day,
that I completely should
go hang out with Rigo,
and so I can get my fix of his
big, beautiful, brown eyes,
and then get my head
back in the game.
- That's what you thought I'd say?
- More like hoping?
Who are you?
Please, Lauren?
Come on.
There's no way I could
sneak out by myself.
You've gotta help me with this.
I never thought
I'd say this, but..
...I need your devious mind.
Ooh, I like the sound of that.
Yes! OK, so what do we do?
Watch and learn.
Coast is clear.
Keep your head down
and your kick ass up.
As long as nobody sees you,
you're in the clear. Easy peasy.
It's one minute to curfew.
Get in here!
Who's there?!
- Now what?!
- Get down!
Um, help. I just saw a wrestler
streaking down the hallway!
Seriously?
Hello? Traumatized girl
standing here!
Like naked streaking?
Do you need me to paint you
a picture? Come on, let's go!
♪ I wanna lean
on a pillow of steam ♪
♪ I wanna dance on the sun

Marcus was right.
This is gonna
be a death match to the finish.
There are a lot
of impressive girls here.
I hope you're ready
for another Dream Team in 2012.
I'm not only ready for it,
I'm requiring it.
You and I have a lot
to prove here, Mac.
So, I'm up to speed
on their skills,
but I need to know...
How are the girls doing?
I just spent three hours
telling you how they're doing.
I don't mean on the mat.
I mean up here.
How are they behaving?
You know the mental game is the
deciding factor in this sport.
They're good. Focused.
Determined. They all want it.
No disciplinary problems?
Not a one.
I got it all under control.
Glad to hear it.
Anything wrong?
Nothing I can't handle.
♪ Between these lines
♪ Behind each light
- Big Dipper!
- I win.
No way, I totally saw it first!
Well, I guess we'll have
to leave it up to the judges.
What's that all about?
Oh, the volleyball players buried Otis
somewhere on campus for safe keeping.
The gymnasts
and I want to change that.
Come on, let's follow them!
You are by far
the most competitive girl
I have ever dated.
Well, when you catch Olympic fever at
age six, it makes you kind of intense.
Hmm. You know,
five years ago,
BMX wasn't even
an Olympic sport.
Oh, the Olympics is all Kaylie, Lauren,
and I have talked about for years.
The only thing
that never came up
was who would take home
the gold.
Now that the games
are so close,
you must all
be thinking about it.
Well, I know I am.
You think
when you and I win gold in London,
the queen will invite
us over for a spot o' tea?
I do say, chum,
your British accent
bloody stinks.
Oh? Oh-ho.
Totally worth it!
Have a nice night out, Keeler?
- Um, we were out of shampoo?
- Save it.
Sneaking out
after curfew tells me
you two must not need
an extra day of practice.
So... change of plans.
Team Keeler/Tanner will now be
performing on day one of eliminations.
- That's not fair!
- No, Lauren didn't sneak out.
It was just me.
Please don't blame her for this.
You two are teammates.
That means Tanner's responsible
for your bad decisions
just like you are for hers.
How did he find out?
The mole strikes again.
I agree.
You're absolutely right.
- Let me get this for you. After you, my dear.
- Oh.
No, go ahead.
You got the pretty shoes.
I mean, what the hell ever
happened to the shoe horn, right?
So, really, you're not gonna hate me
if I actually get those, too, huh?
- They look fantastic on you.
- Have at it.
They really do.
I have to tell you, Regina,
Kelly and I were so happy when you
finally got the job you deserve. Really.
Head of the NGO
Olympic Committee?
I mean, I have been telling
Ellen Beals for years
there is no one smarter
in this game than you. Really.
Oh, speak of the devil.
Isn't that right, Kelly?
Haven't we both been
singing her praises?
Yeah.
Excuse me, I really do need
to confab with McIntire.
Oh, all right.
It was fun to talk.
- Mom?
- What?
You told me the only reason you
were here was to work PR
for that independent
sports blogger.
What are you doing
kissing up to the NGO?
Relax. I bumped into her
in the parking lot.
She was admiring my boots.
She wants to buy some.
Would you like me to be rude?
I'll be rude.
- Hi, Mrs. Baboyon!
- Oh, hi.
How does she know you?
Oh, she's been hounding me to
represent her since we got here.
- You're not going to do it, are you?
- Please. Come on.
Although, I do have an opening
for a gymnast to represent
since my daughter
dumped me. Hm?
We all know there's only room
for one star in this sport.
And that my dear, gorgeous,
competitive,
champion daughter is you.
- OK?
- Yeah.
All right.
It's just the thought of you
representing
my own competition is so weird.
I know. Well, the thought of you
not thinking Kaylie Cruz
is your competition is weirder.
Kaylie's been my rock through
all the ups and downs here.
I don't know
what I'd do without her.
Trust me. You'll do fine
without her, OK?
You are gonna win
that Olympic gold on your own.
- OK. Yeah.
- All right?
- All right?
- OK.
Work hard.
Oh! I finally figured it out.
OK, you must be related
to Coach McIntire, yeah?
What? No. Why would you...?
Well, I don't know,
I just thought...
I kind of thought...
You know, because...
You mean, because I'm...
Yeah, I just assumed
that you're related.
I just... I couldn't think of any
other reason why you'd be here.
According to our latest intel, Jin Zyeu
from China just perfected a new super move.
If that's true, we need to trump
it with a super move of our own
or find a way to be
happy with silver.
Don't even say the "S" word.
I hear you've gotten
Jordan Randall
to take her layout Jordan move
out of retirement.
- I'm working on it.
- It just doesn't make any sense.
The move was named after her, but she's
refused to perform it for years.
She might be too headstrong
for this sport.
You want a super move?
Randall is close to landing
a triple back dismount on bars.
Jordan Randall is your big hope
for shutting down China?
We don't have time
to waste here, Mac.
We took a chance once on an unfocused,
obstinate gymnast in Boulder,
and it backfired.
She just might have the move
that's the answer to China.
But does she have this?
It's bad enough
Coach moved us up a day,
but to give that little snitch
and her Cabbage Patch sidekick
our day two spot is seriously
more than I can take.
Me, too, but there's just
nothing we can do about it.
Are you guys waiting?
Can I run a quick routine?
Get in line. Queen of Jordan has
been hogging the mat all morning.
All right, don't start a war.
She's not worth it.
Besides, we're already
in trouble with the coach.
- Dude, what's your problem?
- You may think being all La Femme Nikita
and spying on us is gonna make
the coach put you on the team,
but all you're really doing,
Jordan, is making us hate you.
- I'm not here to make friends.
- Hm.
- Did Jordan...?
- Yep.
She just admitted
to being the mole.
Oh, my God!
What are you doing here?
- Hello, Kaylie.
- Is that my perfume?!
Yeah, I was just smelling it.
It's a good scent, actually. It's, uh...
Ooh! It's very, uh...
It's very bohemian.
I like it. Obviously,
I'm looking for Kelly.
- Well, obviously she's not here.
- Oh! Oh.
Oh, you know what?
You're absolutely right.
She told me
to meet her at the quad.
- Oh, great...
- I'm sorry.
You know, when I get hungry,
I get very forgetful
and lightheaded
and off-balance.
Well, you... you know
how that is, right?
- So then, I guess you'll be leaving.
- Yeah.
You know what though, Kaylie?
I am glad that we bumped into each other.
I've been worried
about you, honey.
You know, what with your...
...your eating disorder and everything.
I know the stress
of the NGO eliminations
must wreak havoc
on your fragile mental state.
You OK, sweetie?
I'm on to all your games,
Sheila.
I'm honestly telling you, as a
mother, I'm concerned about you.
Well, thank you, but I have a
wonderful mother, unlike Kelly.
Wow. Well, as long
as we're being honest,
you freaky little toothpick,
I know that you think you're
besties with my daughter,
but when push comes to shove...
...Kelly is going to bury
your bony ass.
- God, you don't know her at all.
- Oh, no.
- But, guess what?
- Hm?
- I do.
- Hm.
Because she's my dear friend,
and I love that that screws
with your fragile mental state.
Well, thank you, but Kelly
doesn't need friends.
She has me, her momma.
And if you know
what's good for you,
you will back off and stop messing
with her competitive edge, OK?
This was a great visit.
I had a great time. Thank you.
Hope we can do it again.
Oh! And, uh, Kaylie?
For God's sake, honey...
...would you eat something?
Come on.
So, your mom found me today.
I know, she told me.
Well, I told her how stressed out I've been
and how you've been my rock, and
she just wanted to say thank you.
Every now and then she surprises me
by doing something really sweet.
Yeah, she's full of surprises.
Hey. Dr. Curtis just called.
She was wondering why you're not scheduled
to see a cardiologist for two weeks!
- You said you were going after cuts!
- Two weeks is after cuts.
It was the soonest
he had an opening.
Look, if a specialist
in the field
isn't worried about my heart giving out
any minute, you shouldn't, either.
I'm sure if he knew you were
an Olympic-level athlete
that puts extra stress on her heart,
he would fit you in right away.
If there's anything adding
to my stress level, it's you.
Now, please, spare my heart
and get off my back.
I'm guessing they'll
want to see my floor,
but I think I can really
impress them with bars, too.
Yeah, I can't imagine they'd actually make
some of us perform in all four events.
I hope not.
She's just trying
to psych us out.
I'm sure the plan is to focus
on two routines per girl.
Two routines gives them a pretty good
picture of what we bring to the table.
Then you better hope one of them isn't your beam.
You know you can't beat mine.
My double illusion can match
your crackle and pop any day.
Oh, sassy!
Someone told me a few years ago
they sent five girls home.
But other years
it's only been one or two.
Do you think Coach McIntire gets
the last word on who makes it?
I'll bet Jordan's
counting on that.
That's why the talentless hack
spies on us and feeds him info.
Jordan's a lot of things, but
talentless isn't one of them.
When she lands her triple back
dismount, it's really amazing.
And she's been landing it
more and more.
That's it!
You're officially sticking your triple
back dismount 50 percent of the time.
However, you do need
another power move.
Yeah, I want to show them my Yurchenko
full on vault. It's really strong.
You want to impress the NGO Olympic Committee?
Show them your layout Jordan.
It blows away the Chenko full, and
it's the move that defines you.
No, it's not! I am so sick of everybody
asking me to do that stupid trick.
Listen, people want to see you
do it because you created it.
It's a strong move
with a high DOD.
No. OK, I've told you
that skill is in my past.
- I've grown as a gymnast.
- It's your signature move,
and I think the committee's
gonna want to see it.
If you do it at the NGO eliminations,
I think you're a shoo-in.
- And if I don't?
- Then you better make your triple back dismount stick.
'Cause if you don't,
I can't guarantee anything.
What would you do if letting your
friend compete could hurt her,
but stopping her would ruin
everything she's worked for?
If your friend is willing to put
her neck on the line for her goal,
- that's her responsibility. Not yours.
- She's my teammate.
I'm responsible
for her bad decisions in the gym.
So we're talking about Lauren.
She's passed out cold a couple
of times since we got here.
One minute, she's completely fine,
and the next, she's on the floor.
But if you don't know when one
of these attacks is going down,
then there's not much
you can do about it.
I think I do. She does this,
like, thing before it happens.
It's like she loses circulation
in her fingers
and is trying to push
blood back into them.
- But it doesn't happen all the time?
- No.
But what if it happens
at the wrong time,
like when she's 15 feet
in the air above the bars? I...
I know
what I have to do.
Payson, you and I both know
what it's like spending years
sacrificing time with the people you
love to be the best at your sport.
Nursing bruises and broken
bones, year after year,
for just one minute standing
on that Olympic podium
and feeling the weight that sweet-ass
gold medal around our neck.
Are you really gonna be the one to
take that chance away from her?
I can't believe you're
telling me to do nothing.
What if it were me?
What if I was doing something that
was putting my life in danger?
Would you just
let me kill myself?
Payson, come on.
You're my girlfriend,
I wouldn't let
anything happen to you.
Oh, so just because we make out,
you have to protect me?
You asked for my opinion.
I gave it to you.
I don't know what else
you expect me to say.
I expect you to tell me
to do the right thing.
No, you want me to tell you
what you want to hear.
Don't worry. The next time I need someone
to count on, I won't come to you.
- Lauren, maybe we should...
- We're ready for you.
After today, we've got just one more
hurdle on our way to the Olympics.
Let's rock this!
Keeler, you're up first.
- Let's see your beam routine.
- You got it, Pay.
♪ Is that all you got?
♪ Is that all you got?
♪ Is that all you got?
♪ I think you're hot
♪ Hey, hey, hey
♪ I think you're hot
Thank you, Payson.
That'll be all.
Just one routine? You don't want
to see anything else?
We're good.
Tanner, you're up.
♪ Is that all you got?
♪ Is that all you got?
♪ Yo, is that all you got?

Any time
you're ready, Lauren.
You've gotta stop her! She can't do this.
You can't let her do this!
What's going on?
What did they say?
Tanner's done.
I just...
I couldn't let her do it.
If she'd have fallen, I never
would have forgiven myself.
It's OK now. OK?
She's at the medical center.
They'll get this
all straightened out.
Lauren will never forgive me.
Yes, she will.
And you didn't have
to go through this alone.
Why didn't you come to me?
I don't know. Because
I was protecting her secret.
And we both know things have
been a little tense between us.
You and me and Lauren...
...we're gonna get
through this together.
Just like we always have.
OK?
What are you talking about?
This is a good thing.
I mean, it's one less girl
to contend with, right?
One of my friends has a heart
problem, and all you can think about
is how it helps out my career?
There's that word
"friends" again. Friends!
This isn't a sorority house.
It's a training center.
You have to keep
your eye on the prize.
Come on, angel.
Look at me.
We've both worked
so hard to get here.
Come on. You don't wanna let Momma
down when we're so close, right?
Promise Momma?
I promise.
Your eyes look so pretty
with that orange.
OK, you need to get some rest.
You need to impress
those judges tomorrow, OK?
OK, Mom.
Remember, we're in this
together, all right?
- I'm not going anywhere.
- Yeah.
OK, my angel.
My star.
- Yeah.
- Right.
Is your mom here?
No, she just left.
Shoot!
Do me a fave?
Give her these.
Did she leave these somewhere?
No, silly. It's my contract.
Your mom is totes
my manager now!
I'm like
a younger, newer... you!
She's gonna make me a star!
- What?
- Whoops!
Um, did she not tell you?
Awkward. Oh...
Thank you, Wendy.
That should be it for today.
Thank you, coach.
It felt really good.
Does it ever
not feel "really good"?
No.
We've heard
so much about your bars
and that triple
layout dismount, Jordan.
I can't wait to see it.
♪ He's waited for this moment
♪ To start over
♪ Well, it's been in your heart
and it's in your head ♪

She didn't land it.
She sunk it.
It's not the power move
we need, Mac.
Yeah, but it can be.
They give gold medals
for potential now?
Jordan, we'd like
to see your vault.
- What will you be showing us?
- My Yurchenko full.
We'd rather see
your layout Jordan.
It's been too long
since anyone's seen her do it.
Give me a minute.
I'm not doing it.
- You want to stay here, don't you?
- What do you think?
Ms. Randall, either we see the layout
Jordan, or we're finished here.
Better give them what they want.
Come on, you got this.
It's Emily Kmetko
all over again.
I fired her because I was tired of having a
stay-at-work mom, but nothing has changed.
I'm not her daughter. I'm just
her dream of Olympic gold.
And without that I don't
matter to her at all.
It's not about her dream.
It's about yours.
Your mother won't be standing up
on that podium with you.
You know what my Olympic dream
has really been?
I win the gold,
and I finally get away from her.
KP, you don't need
a gold medal to do that.
I always thought somehow a gold
medal would make me stronger.
Are you kidding?
You are one
of the strongest girls I know.
If you could just believe that,
you'll be free.
Now, wipe those tears
and let's go show these judges
how this sport is really done!
- All right.
- Thank you.
Come on.

Okay, who we have left to talk about?
Jordan Randall.
My vote would be to keep her.
Every week she gets
better and better,
and there's still time for her to
master that triple back dismount.
- Mac...
- I know what you're going to say.
"Mac, that move has never been
done in competition before."
But if she pulls it off, we'll
give China a run for their money.
That's a big "if". And after
that stunt she pulled today,
I worry she's more of a loose
cannon than a serious threat.
To win gold, we need consistently
strong performers like Kelly Parker.
I've been tracking her progress since
her win at Worlds two years ago,
and she hasn't been progressing
like the other girls have.
Now, consistency is great, but you really
only need one workhorse on the team.
And we have
Payson Keeler for that.
You really think she's more
consistent than Kelly Parker?
Let's move on. Um...
What do we think
of Wendy Capshaw?
There's only one thing
we know that wins it all...
...athleticism and flash.
- And she's got both.
- Agreed.
If I was fighting for a spot
on the Olympic team,
she'd be the one
I would worry about beating.
The truth is all
of these girls are great.
But not all of them
are Olympians.
Today is about eliminating
anyone we feel
won't benefit
by remaining here any longer.
All right. Looks like it's time
to send some girls home.
I suppose you're going
to say I told you so.
Ah, I'd rather say
I'm glad you called.
Lauren won't even talk to me.
You did what you
thought was right.
- She put you in a tough place.
- I know, right?
Well, if she's
done with me, then...
...I guess
I'm done with her.
Lauren is a part
of your family.
And where I come from, you never
give up on your family.
No matter how hard
they make it for you.
Lauren may not be able
to see it,
but right now she is going
to need you more than ever.
Everything OK?
The list is up.
Good luck!
I knew I'd sail through.
Oh, we made it!
But... KP didn't.
- Are you OK?
- I will be.
I can't believe this!
I can.
The truth is
I peaked at Worlds,
and I have been trying to fight
my way back ever since and...
...I just couldn't keep up with all
of you, and the judges saw it.
All right, enough!
Enough of this damn love-fest!
All right, see?
Are you happy now?
Look. Look what happened when you're
friends with the competition!
- Are you happy, Kelly?
- Having friends is not the reason I got cut.
And it's the only thing
holding me together right now.
You know what? The folks at the NGO
are not gonna be happy about this.
They are not gonna be happy when
they find out that Coach McStupid
tossed their shining star!
But I tell you,
I'm gonna fix this.
I will fix this if it's the last thing I do.
- There is nothing to fix!
- Oh, come on. What are you, blind?!
Come on, everybody knows
that the reason you got cut
and that little orphan Jordan,
is still here... We know why.
Jordan is just better than me.
Kelly, better has
nothing to do with it.
What, you think it's a
coincidence that the black coach
kept the only little black girl
in the running?
I will not let this gym
make my daughter into
an Affirmative Action victim.
- I won't let that happen.
- Enough!
Race has nothing
to do with this!
Come on, Kelly!
Stop being so naive!
No. Not anymore.
I am quitting this sport, and there
is nothing you can do about it.
Well, guess what?
You absolutely are
not quitting this sport
after all I have given up for
you, you spoiled little brat!
- Now you can focus on your new client, Wendy.
- Who?
- Did I hear my name?
- Oh, my God.
I was just using little Miss Sunshine
to get information about these witches
to feed to that coach.
- It was you?
- You're the mole?
I was just talking. That's all.
You know how I blabber on
sometimes, but...
...I swear I had no idea that she
was going to use me to hurt you.
I am so sorry!
Please, you have to believe me!
Momma has a plan, OK? I'm gonna get
your spot back for you, all right?
- You're fired.
- You already fired me.
Not as my manager...
...as my mother.
It's Momma.
You can't fire me.
It's your momma.
Momma loves you. Momma cares
about you more than anyone.
- Who loves you as much as I do, huh? Your father?!
- No!
Nobody loves you as much as I do!
Kelly, Momma loves you!
Kelly!
So, you, hm?
You knew from the beginning
that I would go and tell all
that information to that coach.
Actually, when I met you the day
you dropped off KP for camp?
I was interested
in representation.
Then when I told you that the
girls snuck into the gym
and somehow Coach found out,
I knew I'd found something
much better than a manager...
my own personal snitch.
You lying, disgusting,
perky piece of work.
Coming from you,
I take that as a compliment.
I'll just tell those girls the truth,
and your little game will be over.
Wouldn't matter
what you said now.
Nobody would
believe you over... me.
Besides, I'm taking
The Rock girls down,
which is what you've
always wanted.
You're welcome.
Watch your back.
It'll be really weird not seeing
you on the mat every day.
It's gonna be weird for me, too.
I've practically spent my entire life in a gym.
KP, are you really
OK with this?
I don't think
I'm going to miss it.
Gymnastics was my life, but...
I'm hoping there's more to me than
just Kelly Parker, star gymnast.
I'm actually really excited to see
what else is out there for me.
I called my dad.
Wow! What did he say?
He was really happy I called.
He wants me to come stay
with them for a while.
His wife even got on the phone and said
there's always been a room waiting for me.
I'm so happy for you.
Thank you.
And you better FaceChat.
I want to know everything.
I will call you
from the airport.
You almost ready, Kaylie?
Yeah.
Um...
Well, um...
I'm really glad
I got to know you.
It was nice finally
getting to know myself,
and, honestly, I have
you to thank for that.
And we should thank you for being a
tough competitor all these years.
You made all of us
so much better.
You guys should go.
I'll be fine.
I know you will.

You leaving?
Just like you told me to do
when I first got here.
You told me you were
meant to be in that gym.
I am.
What is it
about that move, Jordan,
that makes you willing
to throw everything away?
Hm? I know you can do it.
- I'm just trying to understand why you won't.
- I just...
Look, I'm sorry, coach.
I just... I can't talk about it.
- Did you look at the list?
- No, I know what it says.
Don't let the door kick you on the way out.
OK, I'm used to it.
It's like everybody else
knows the secret password,
and I don't.
You know, that chip on your shoulder
isn't doing you any favors.
Oh, like the favor you're doing
me by letting me train here?
Like it's inconceivable to people I could
be here because I'm actually good?
I understand what you're
going through, Jordan.
You think I've had it easy?
In this sport?
I didn't get where I am
without a fight.
It seemed like everywhere I turned
there was resistance and ignorance.
Unlike you, I learned that hanging on to
my anger just made life that much harder.
Yeah? Well, my anger
isn't your problem anymore.
- I got a bus to catch.
- No, you don't.
Looks like you know
the secret password after all.
- I'm still here?
- The vote was unanimous.
You hear me? Unanimous.
You are potentially the biggest
threat USA has this summer,
but you got to focus.
You let the ignorant get
in your head and mess with it,
you got no chance in hell.
Are we clear?
Yes, sir.
You will get
that triple back dismount...
...even if it kills
the both of us.
Well, nobody's dying

I'll get there.
You'll see.

Hi, Lauren.
How are you doing?
Somebody killed
my Olympic dreams today.
But other than that,
I'm great, guys.
You don't know it's over.
- We just have to wait and see what the doctor says.
- It doesn't matter!
I didn't get to perform!
I got cut!
- Are you happy, Payson?
- Of course I'm not.
I never wanted
any of this to happen.
I just was so scared
you would hurt yourself.
The only thing
you were worried about
was that I was gonna
kick your butt on beam.
You messed up
your double illusion,
so you decided this was
the way to bring me down.
How can you say that?
You... You don't mean that.
I never, ever want to see your
smug, stupid little face again.
Now get out of my room
and get out of my life!
- Lauren!
- Get out, Payson! Now!
Go!
You know, she only did it
because she loves you.
I would have done
the same thing.
It's OK.
It's OK.
is your other half.
Payson and Lauren
are not perfect.
You and me, girl.
All the way.
Coach McIntire knew all the
choreography to our routines
even though we
never showed him?
Jordan's the narc.
You're dead to us.
I made an appointment for you
with the TC doctor.
I talked to Dr. Curtis.
She told me you have an irregular heartbeat.
My life, my call.
Take
a good look around, ladies.
This is the last week all of you
will be standing here together.
May I introduce
Miss Regina Turner,
the new head
of the NGO Olympic Committee
and former all-around champion.
She is here to help judge
the elimination rounds.
- Hello, ladies.
- The numbers inside this cap
will determine which day your
team performs for the committee.
One team member
will pick for your team.
Ms. Turner, can you tell these
young ladies what to expect?
More like what not to expect.
We could ask you to perform on
only one apparatus or all four.
Be ready for anything.
Think of it
as a gymnastics pop quiz.
When these two days are complete, Coach
McIntire and the NGO will determine
if you have what it takes
to remain here
and continue to fight
for a spot on the Olympic team.
But in this round
if you fail to impress,
you will be sent home.
Any questions?
Well then,
what are you waiting for?
- Oh, we're day two!
- Thank God.
- Us, too.
- We're day one!
You say that
like it's a good thing.
One's my lucky number.
Yeah, well,
not this time.
Competing on day two means
you have more time to prepare.
Plus, the judges make their
decisions at the end of day two.
They've just seen you perform,
so you're fresh in their minds.
Look, day one girls are like the
appetizers nobody wants to fill up on,
which makes you two
pigs in a blanket
and us filet mignon.
Well, that just means we'll be kicking
your ass one day earlier, so...
All right, all right. Until we
complete the elimination round,
we are imposing a strict curfew.
No one in or out
after seven p.m.
- Why?
- Because I want your head in the game.
That work for you, Keeler?
I suggest you all make
the most of practice time.
Your future depends on it.
Keep breathing.
Let your shoulders drop.
Feel the weight
holding them down.
You mean
like someone's on my back?
I am so feeling it.
You need to start
taking this seriously.
You're the one
who needs to chill.
You've been watching me
like a hawk all week.
I'm just trying to help. Stress
could cause another episode.
Dr. Curtis said I've probably had
this arrhythmia my entire life,
and I've never had
any problems before.
But you do now!
Only a cardiologist will be able to
tell you what's going on with you.
Which is why I have an appointment
with the one Dr. Curtis recommended
right after NGO cuts.
So, let's dial back the attitude.
All right, all right.
I'm just uptight.
Even more than usual.
Rigo's finally back
from his meet,
and we were supposed
to see each other tonight.
So? See him after cuts, Pay.
Really? Now, that's so not
how I thought you would react.
- What'd you think I'd say?
- That I don't need the extra rest tonight
because we're not up till day two, which
means tomorrow is just a practice day,
that I completely should
go hang out with Rigo,
and so I can get my fix of his
big, beautiful, brown eyes,
and then get my head
back in the game.
- That's what you thought I'd say?
- More like hoping?
Who are you?
Please, Lauren?
Come on.
There's no way I could
sneak out by myself.
You've gotta help me with this.
I never thought
I'd say this, but..
...I need your devious mind.
Ooh, I like the sound of that.
Yes! OK, so what do we do?
Watch and learn.
Coast is clear.
Keep your head down
and your kick ass up.
As long as nobody sees you,
you're in the clear. Easy peasy.
It's one minute to curfew.
Get in here!
Who's there?!
- Now what?!
- Get down!
Um, help. I just saw a wrestler
streaking down the hallway!
Seriously?
Hello? Traumatized girl
standing here!
Like naked streaking?
Do you need me to paint you
a picture? Come on, let's go!

Marcus was right.
This is gonna
be a death match to the finish.
There are a lot
of impressive girls here.
I hope you're ready
for another Dream Team in 2012.
I'm not only ready for it,
I'm requiring it.
You and I have a lot
to prove here, Mac.
So, I'm up to speed
on their skills,
but I need to know...
How are the girls doing?
I just spent three hours
telling you how they're doing.
I don't mean on the mat.
I mean up here.
How are they behaving?
You know the mental game is the
deciding factor in this sport.
They're good. Focused.
Determined. They all want it.
No disciplinary problems?
Not a one.
I got it all under control.
Glad to hear it.
Anything wrong?
Nothing I can't handle.

- Big Dipper!
- I win.
No way, I totally saw it first!
Well, I guess we'll have
to leave it up to the judges.
What's that all about?
Oh, the volleyball players buried Otis
somewhere on campus for safe keeping.
The gymnasts
and I want to change that.
Come on, let's follow them!
You are by far
the most competitive girl
I have ever dated.
Well, when you catch Olympic fever at
age six, it makes you kind of intense.
Hmm. You know,
five years ago,
BMX wasn't even
an Olympic sport.
Oh, the Olympics is all Kaylie, Lauren,
and I have talked about for years.
The only thing
that never came up
was who would take home
the gold.
Now that the games
are so close,
you must all
be thinking about it.
Well, I know I am.
You think
when you and I win gold in London,
the queen will invite
us over for a spot o' tea?
I do say, chum,
your British accent
bloody stinks.
Oh? Oh-ho.
Totally worth it!
Have a nice night out, Keeler?
- Um, we were out of shampoo?
- Save it.
Sneaking out
after curfew tells me
you two must not need
an extra day of practice.
So... change of plans.
Team Keeler/Tanner will now be
performing on day one of eliminations.
- That's not fair!
- No, Lauren didn't sneak out.
It was just me.
Please don't blame her for this.
You two are teammates.
That means Tanner's responsible
for your bad decisions
just like you are for hers.
How did he find out?
The mole strikes again.
I agree.
You're absolutely right.
- Let me get this for you. After you, my dear.
- Oh.
No, go ahead.
You got the pretty shoes.
I mean, what the hell ever
happened to the shoe horn, right?
So, really, you're not gonna hate me
if I actually get those, too, huh?
- They look fantastic on you.
- Have at it.
They really do.
I have to tell you, Regina,
Kelly and I were so happy when you
finally got the job you deserve. Really.
Head of the NGO
Olympic Committee?
I mean, I have been telling
Ellen Beals for years
there is no one smarter
in this game than you. Really.
Oh, speak of the devil.
Isn't that right, Kelly?
Haven't we both been
singing her praises?
Yeah.
Excuse me, I really do need
to confab with McIntire.
Oh, all right.
It was fun to talk.
- Mom?
- What?
You told me the only reason you
were here was to work PR
for that independent
sports blogger.
What are you doing
kissing up to the NGO?
Relax. I bumped into her
in the parking lot.
She was admiring my boots.
She wants to buy some.
Would you like me to be rude?
I'll be rude.
- Hi, Mrs. Baboyon!
- Oh, hi.
How does she know you?
Oh, she's been hounding me to
represent her since we got here.
- You're not going to do it, are you?
- Please. Come on.
Although, I do have an opening
for a gymnast to represent
since my daughter
dumped me. Hm?
We all know there's only room
for one star in this sport.
And that my dear, gorgeous,
competitive,
champion daughter is you.
- OK?
- Yeah.
All right.
It's just the thought of you
representing
my own competition is so weird.
I know. Well, the thought of you
not thinking Kaylie Cruz
is your competition is weirder.
Kaylie's been my rock through
all the ups and downs here.
I don't know
what I'd do without her.
Trust me. You'll do fine
without her, OK?
You are gonna win
that Olympic gold on your own.
- OK. Yeah.
- All right?
- All right?
- OK.
Work hard.
Oh! I finally figured it out.
OK, you must be related
to Coach McIntire, yeah?
What? No. Why would you...?
Well, I don't know,
I just thought...
I kind of thought...
You know, because...
You mean, because I'm...
Yeah, I just assumed
that you're related.
I just... I couldn't think of any
other reason why you'd be here.
According to our latest intel, Jin Zyeu
from China just perfected a new super move.
If that's true, we need to trump
it with a super move of our own
or find a way to be
happy with silver.
Don't even say the "S" word.
I hear you've gotten
Jordan Randall
to take her layout Jordan move
out of retirement.
- I'm working on it.
- It just doesn't make any sense.
The move was named after her, but she's
refused to perform it for years.
She might be too headstrong
for this sport.
You want a super move?
Randall is close to landing
a triple back dismount on bars.
Jordan Randall is your big hope
for shutting down China?
We don't have time
to waste here, Mac.
We took a chance once on an unfocused,
obstinate gymnast in Boulder,
and it backfired.
She just might have the move
that's the answer to China.
But does she have this?
It's bad enough
Coach moved us up a day,
but to give that little snitch
and her Cabbage Patch sidekick
our day two spot is seriously
more than I can take.
Me, too, but there's just
nothing we can do about it.
Are you guys waiting?
Can I run a quick routine?
Get in line. Queen of Jordan has
been hogging the mat all morning.
All right, don't start a war.
She's not worth it.
Besides, we're already
in trouble with the coach.
- Dude, what's your problem?
- You may think being all La Femme Nikita
and spying on us is gonna make
the coach put you on the team,
but all you're really doing,
Jordan, is making us hate you.
- I'm not here to make friends.
- Hm.
- Did Jordan...?
- Yep.
She just admitted
to being the mole.
Oh, my God!
What are you doing here?
- Hello, Kaylie.
- Is that my perfume?!
Yeah, I was just smelling it.
It's a good scent, actually. It's, uh...
Ooh! It's very, uh...
It's very bohemian.
I like it. Obviously,
I'm looking for Kelly.
- Well, obviously she's not here.
- Oh! Oh.
Oh, you know what?
You're absolutely right.
She told me
to meet her at the quad.
- Oh, great...
- I'm sorry.
You know, when I get hungry,
I get very forgetful
and lightheaded
and off-balance.
Well, you... you know
how that is, right?
- So then, I guess you'll be leaving.
- Yeah.
You know what though, Kaylie?
I am glad that we bumped into each other.
I've been worried
about you, honey.
You know, what with your...
...your eating disorder and everything.
I know the stress
of the NGO eliminations
must wreak havoc
on your fragile mental state.
You OK, sweetie?
I'm on to all your games,
Sheila.
I'm honestly telling you, as a
mother, I'm concerned about you.
Well, thank you, but I have a
wonderful mother, unlike Kelly.
Wow. Well, as long
as we're being honest,
you freaky little toothpick,
I know that you think you're
besties with my daughter,
but when push comes to shove...
...Kelly is going to bury
your bony ass.
- God, you don't know her at all.
- Oh, no.
- But, guess what?
- Hm?
- I do.
- Hm.
Because she's my dear friend,
and I love that that screws
with your fragile mental state.
Well, thank you, but Kelly
doesn't need friends.
She has me, her momma.
And if you know
what's good for you,
you will back off and stop messing
with her competitive edge, OK?
This was a great visit.
I had a great time. Thank you.
Hope we can do it again.
Oh! And, uh, Kaylie?
For God's sake, honey...
...would you eat something?
Come on.
So, your mom found me today.
I know, she told me.
Well, I told her how stressed out I've been
and how you've been my rock, and
she just wanted to say thank you.
Every now and then she surprises me
by doing something really sweet.
Yeah, she's full of surprises.
Hey. Dr. Curtis just called.
She was wondering why you're not scheduled
to see a cardiologist for two weeks!
- You said you were going after cuts!
- Two weeks is after cuts.
It was the soonest
he had an opening.
Look, if a specialist
in the field
isn't worried about my heart giving out
any minute, you shouldn't, either.
I'm sure if he knew you were
an Olympic-level athlete
that puts extra stress on her heart,
he would fit you in right away.
If there's anything adding
to my stress level, it's you.
Now, please, spare my heart
and get off my back.
I'm guessing they'll
want to see my floor,
but I think I can really
impress them with bars, too.
Yeah, I can't imagine they'd actually make
some of us perform in all four events.
I hope not.
She's just trying
to psych us out.
I'm sure the plan is to focus
on two routines per girl.
Two routines gives them a pretty good
picture of what we bring to the table.
Then you better hope one of them isn't your beam.
You know you can't beat mine.
My double illusion can match
your crackle and pop any day.
Oh, sassy!
Someone told me a few years ago
they sent five girls home.
But other years
it's only been one or two.
Do you think Coach McIntire gets
the last word on who makes it?
I'll bet Jordan's
counting on that.
That's why the talentless hack
spies on us and feeds him info.
Jordan's a lot of things, but
talentless isn't one of them.
When she lands her triple back
dismount, it's really amazing.
And she's been landing it
more and more.
That's it!
You're officially sticking your triple
back dismount 50 percent of the time.
However, you do need
another power move.
Yeah, I want to show them my Yurchenko
full on vault. It's really strong.
You want to impress the NGO Olympic Committee?
Show them your layout Jordan.
It blows away the Chenko full, and
it's the move that defines you.
No, it's not! I am so sick of everybody
asking me to do that stupid trick.
Listen, people want to see you
do it because you created it.
It's a strong move
with a high DOD.
No. OK, I've told you
that skill is in my past.
- I've grown as a gymnast.
- It's your signature move,
and I think the committee's
gonna want to see it.
If you do it at the NGO eliminations,
I think you're a shoo-in.
- And if I don't?
- Then you better make your triple back dismount stick.
'Cause if you don't,
I can't guarantee anything.
What would you do if letting your
friend compete could hurt her,
but stopping her would ruin
everything she's worked for?
If your friend is willing to put
her neck on the line for her goal,
- that's her responsibility. Not yours.
- She's my teammate.
I'm responsible
for her bad decisions in the gym.
So we're talking about Lauren.
She's passed out cold a couple
of times since we got here.
One minute, she's completely fine,
and the next, she's on the floor.
But if you don't know when one
of these attacks is going down,
then there's not much
you can do about it.
I think I do. She does this,
like, thing before it happens.
It's like she loses circulation
in her fingers
and is trying to push
blood back into them.
- But it doesn't happen all the time?
- No.
But what if it happens
at the wrong time,
like when she's 15 feet
in the air above the bars? I...
I know
what I have to do.
Payson, you and I both know
what it's like spending years
sacrificing time with the people you
love to be the best at your sport.
Nursing bruises and broken
bones, year after year,
for just one minute standing
on that Olympic podium
and feeling the weight that sweet-ass
gold medal around our neck.
Are you really gonna be the one to
take that chance away from her?
I can't believe you're
telling me to do nothing.
What if it were me?
What if I was doing something that
was putting my life in danger?
Would you just
let me kill myself?
Payson, come on.
You're my girlfriend,
I wouldn't let
anything happen to you.
Oh, so just because we make out,
you have to protect me?
You asked for my opinion.
I gave it to you.
I don't know what else
you expect me to say.
I expect you to tell me
to do the right thing.
No, you want me to tell you
what you want to hear.
Don't worry. The next time I need someone
to count on, I won't come to you.
- Lauren, maybe we should...
- We're ready for you.
After today, we've got just one more
hurdle on our way to the Olympics.
Let's rock this!
Keeler, you're up first.
- Let's see your beam routine.
- You got it, Pay.
♪ Is that all you got?
♪ Is that all you got?
♪ Is that all you got?
♪ I think you're hot
♪ Hey, hey, hey
♪ I think you're hot
Thank you, Payson.
That'll be all.
Just one routine? You don't want
to see anything else?
We're good.
Tanner, you're up.
♪ Is that all you got?
♪ Is that all you got?
♪ Yo, is that all you got?

Any time
you're ready, Lauren.
You've gotta stop her! She can't do this.
You can't let her do this!
What's going on?
What did they say?
Tanner's done.
I just...
I couldn't let her do it.
If she'd have fallen, I never
would have forgiven myself.
It's OK now. OK?
She's at the medical center.
They'll get this
all straightened out.
Lauren will never forgive me.
Yes, she will.
And you didn't have
to go through this alone.
Why didn't you come to me?
I don't know. Because
I was protecting her secret.
And we both know things have
been a little tense between us.
You and me and Lauren...
...we're gonna get
through this together.
Just like we always have.
OK?
What are you talking about?
This is a good thing.
I mean, it's one less girl
to contend with, right?
One of my friends has a heart
problem, and all you can think about
is how it helps out my career?
There's that word
"friends" again. Friends!
This isn't a sorority house.
It's a training center.
You have to keep
your eye on the prize.
Come on, angel.
Look at me.
We've both worked
so hard to get here.
Come on. You don't wanna let Momma
down when we're so close, right?
Promise Momma?
I promise.
Your eyes look so pretty
with that orange.
OK, you need to get some rest.
You need to impress
those judges tomorrow, OK?
OK, Mom.
Remember, we're in this
together, all right?
- I'm not going anywhere.
- Yeah.
OK, my angel.
My star.
- Yeah.
- Right.
Is your mom here?
No, she just left.
Shoot!
Do me a fave?
Give her these.
Did she leave these somewhere?
No, silly. It's my contract.
Your mom is totes
my manager now!
I'm like
a younger, newer... you!
She's gonna make me a star!
- What?
- Whoops!
Um, did she not tell you?
Awkward. Oh...
Thank you, Wendy.
That should be it for today.
Thank you, coach.
It felt really good.
Does it ever
not feel "really good"?
No.
We've heard
so much about your bars
and that triple
layout dismount, Jordan.
I can't wait to see it.

She didn't land it.
She sunk it.
It's not the power move
we need, Mac.
Yeah, but it can be.
They give gold medals
for potential now?
Jordan, we'd like
to see your vault.
- What will you be showing us?
- My Yurchenko full.
We'd rather see
your layout Jordan.
It's been too long
since anyone's seen her do it.
Give me a minute.
I'm not doing it.
- You want to stay here, don't you?
- What do you think?
Ms. Randall, either we see the layout
Jordan, or we're finished here.
Better give them what they want.
Come on, you got this.
It's Emily Kmetko
all over again.
I fired her because I was tired of having a
stay-at-work mom, but nothing has changed.
I'm not her daughter. I'm just
her dream of Olympic gold.
And without that I don't
matter to her at all.
It's not about her dream.
It's about yours.
Your mother won't be standing up
on that podium with you.
You know what my Olympic dream
has really been?
I win the gold,
and I finally get away from her.
KP, you don't need
a gold medal to do that.
I always thought somehow a gold
medal would make me stronger.
Are you kidding?
You are one
of the strongest girls I know.
If you could just believe that,
you'll be free.
Now, wipe those tears
and let's go show these judges
how this sport is really done!
- All right.
- Thank you.
Come on.

Okay, who we have left to talk about?
Jordan Randall.
My vote would be to keep her.
Every week she gets
better and better,
and there's still time for her to
master that triple back dismount.
- Mac...
- I know what you're going to say.
"Mac, that move has never been
done in competition before."
But if she pulls it off, we'll
give China a run for their money.
That's a big "if". And after
that stunt she pulled today,
I worry she's more of a loose
cannon than a serious threat.
To win gold, we need consistently
strong performers like Kelly Parker.
I've been tracking her progress since
her win at Worlds two years ago,
and she hasn't been progressing
like the other girls have.
Now, consistency is great, but you really
only need one workhorse on the team.
And we have
Payson Keeler for that.
You really think she's more
consistent than Kelly Parker?
Let's move on. Um...
What do we think
of Wendy Capshaw?
There's only one thing
we know that wins it all...
...athleticism and flash.
- And she's got both.
- Agreed.
If I was fighting for a spot
on the Olympic team,
she'd be the one
I would worry about beating.
The truth is all
of these girls are great.
But not all of them
are Olympians.
Today is about eliminating
anyone we feel
won't benefit
by remaining here any longer.
All right. Looks like it's time
to send some girls home.
I suppose you're going
to say I told you so.
Ah, I'd rather say
I'm glad you called.
Lauren won't even talk to me.
You did what you
thought was right.
- She put you in a tough place.
- I know, right?
Well, if she's
done with me, then...
...I guess
I'm done with her.
Lauren is a part
of your family.
And where I come from, you never
give up on your family.
No matter how hard
they make it for you.
Lauren may not be able
to see it,
but right now she is going
to need you more than ever.
Everything OK?
The list is up.
Good luck!
I knew I'd sail through.
Oh, we made it!
But... KP didn't.
- Are you OK?
- I will be.
I can't believe this!
I can.
The truth is
I peaked at Worlds,
and I have been trying to fight
my way back ever since and...
...I just couldn't keep up with all
of you, and the judges saw it.
All right, enough!
Enough of this damn love-fest!
All right, see?
Are you happy now?
Look. Look what happened when you're
friends with the competition!
- Are you happy, Kelly?
- Having friends is not the reason I got cut.
And it's the only thing
holding me together right now.
You know what? The folks at the NGO
are not gonna be happy about this.
They are not gonna be happy when
they find out that Coach McStupid
tossed their shining star!
But I tell you,
I'm gonna fix this.
I will fix this if it's the last thing I do.
- There is nothing to fix!
- Oh, come on. What are you, blind?!
Come on, everybody knows
that the reason you got cut
and that little orphan Jordan,
is still here... We know why.
Jordan is just better than me.
Kelly, better has
nothing to do with it.
What, you think it's a
coincidence that the black coach
kept the only little black girl
in the running?
I will not let this gym
make my daughter into
an Affirmative Action victim.
- I won't let that happen.
- Enough!
Race has nothing
to do with this!
Come on, Kelly!
Stop being so naive!
No. Not anymore.
I am quitting this sport, and there
is nothing you can do about it.
Well, guess what?
You absolutely are
not quitting this sport
after all I have given up for
you, you spoiled little brat!
- Now you can focus on your new client, Wendy.
- Who?
- Did I hear my name?
- Oh, my God.
I was just using little Miss Sunshine
to get information about these witches
to feed to that coach.
- It was you?
- You're the mole?
I was just talking. That's all.
You know how I blabber on
sometimes, but...
...I swear I had no idea that she
was going to use me to hurt you.
I am so sorry!
Please, you have to believe me!
Momma has a plan, OK? I'm gonna get
your spot back for you, all right?
- You're fired.
- You already fired me.
Not as my manager...
...as my mother.
It's Momma.
You can't fire me.
It's your momma.
Momma loves you. Momma cares
about you more than anyone.
- Who loves you as much as I do, huh? Your father?!
- No!
Nobody loves you as much as I do!
Kelly, Momma loves you!
Kelly!
So, you, hm?
You knew from the beginning
that I would go and tell all
that information to that coach.
Actually, when I met you the day
you dropped off KP for camp?
I was interested
in representation.
Then when I told you that the
girls snuck into the gym
and somehow Coach found out,
I knew I'd found something
much better than a manager...
my own personal snitch.
You lying, disgusting,
perky piece of work.
Coming from you,
I take that as a compliment.
I'll just tell those girls the truth,
and your little game will be over.
Wouldn't matter
what you said now.
Nobody would
believe you over... me.
Besides, I'm taking
The Rock girls down,
which is what you've
always wanted.
You're welcome.
Watch your back.
It'll be really weird not seeing
you on the mat every day.
It's gonna be weird for me, too.
I've practically spent my entire life in a gym.
KP, are you really
OK with this?
I don't think
I'm going to miss it.
Gymnastics was my life, but...
I'm hoping there's more to me than
just Kelly Parker, star gymnast.
I'm actually really excited to see
what else is out there for me.
I called my dad.
Wow! What did he say?
He was really happy I called.
He wants me to come stay
with them for a while.
His wife even got on the phone and said
there's always been a room waiting for me.
I'm so happy for you.
Thank you.
And you better FaceChat.
I want to know everything.
I will call you
from the airport.
You almost ready, Kaylie?
Yeah.
Um...
Well, um...
I'm really glad
I got to know you.
It was nice finally
getting to know myself,
and, honestly, I have
you to thank for that.
And we should thank you for being a
tough competitor all these years.
You made all of us
so much better.
You guys should go.
I'll be fine.
I know you will.

You leaving?
Just like you told me to do
when I first got here.
You told me you were
meant to be in that gym.
I am.
What is it
about that move, Jordan,
that makes you willing
to throw everything away?
Hm? I know you can do it.
- I'm just trying to understand why you won't.
- I just...
Look, I'm sorry, coach.
I just... I can't talk about it.
- Did you look at the list?
- No, I know what it says.
Don't let the door kick you on the way out.
OK, I'm used to it.
It's like everybody else
knows the secret password,
and I don't.
You know, that chip on your shoulder
isn't doing you any favors.
Oh, like the favor you're doing
me by letting me train here?
Like it's inconceivable to people I could
be here because I'm actually good?
I understand what you're
going through, Jordan.
You think I've had it easy?
In this sport?
I didn't get where I am
without a fight.
It seemed like everywhere I turned
there was resistance and ignorance.
Unlike you, I learned that hanging on to
my anger just made life that much harder.
Yeah? Well, my anger
isn't your problem anymore.
- I got a bus to catch.
- No, you don't.
Looks like you know
the secret password after all.
- I'm still here?
- The vote was unanimous.
You hear me? Unanimous.
You are potentially the biggest
threat USA has this summer,
but you got to focus.
You let the ignorant get
in your head and mess with it,
you got no chance in hell.
Are we clear?
Yes, sir.
You will get
that triple back dismount...
...even if it kills
the both of us.
Well, nobody's dying
on my watch.
I'll get there.
You'll see.

Hi, Lauren.
How are you doing?
Somebody killed
my Olympic dreams today.
But other than that,
I'm great, guys.
You don't know it's over.
- We just have to wait and see what the doctor says.
- It doesn't matter!
I didn't get to perform!
I got cut!
- Are you happy, Payson?
- Of course I'm not.
I never wanted
any of this to happen.
I just was so scared
you would hurt yourself.
The only thing
you were worried about
was that I was gonna
kick your butt on beam.
You messed up
your double illusion,
so you decided this was
the way to bring me down.
How can you say that?
You... You don't mean that.
I never, ever want to see your
smug, stupid little face again.
Now get out of my room
and get out of my life!
- Lauren!
- Get out, Payson! Now!
Go!
You know, she only did it
because she loves you.
I would have done
the same thing.
It's OK.
It's OK.
