My Perfect Landing (2020): Season 1, Episode 15 - Hillside Pt. 2 - full transcript

Jenny competes at Hillside gymnastics as old conflicts are resolved - and new conflicts emerge - Part 2. (To Be Continued!!)

NARRATOR:
Previously on
My Perfect Landing:

[APPLAUSE]

Congratulations,
you're going to Hillside!

We did it!

So you just used me?

I did what I had to do
to get my team to Hillside.

I want to compete
at Hillside.

I thought you weren't
on the team?

I want to compete
as an individual

for Cortez Gymnastics.

Jenny, you're gonna go
to Hillside.



But Grandpa's my coach,

and I don't want
to stress him out.

No, Grandpa's not your coach,
I am.

She's the best gymnast here.

What?
Want to bet on it?

Name it!
Jenny beats you at Hillside,

she becomes captain
of the Canton team.

Deal, but when I win,

Jenny stays away from my team
forever!

Deal!

I can't believe
I'm finally here.

Today, I'm going to show you
why I'm captain of Canton.

[APPLAUSE]

She's so good.
What's going on?



She's just in my head.

WHITNEY:
You're in her head too.

ANNOUNCER:
On beam, Jenny Cortez
with a score of 9.05.

There's that deduction.

I think you should still
be proud of your score.

It's not gonna beat Olivia's.

[♪♪♪]

Oh, we made it! We made it!

Uh-huh! Yeah, yeah!

Oh, but I cannot see anything!

We did not stay
on that bus for so long

to look at the back of these
people's heads!
No.

Excuse me!
Pardon me!

Yep, best friends
coming through!

Move it or lose it, people!

Argh!

Oh, there she is! Hey!

Whoo! Go, Jenny!

You got this!

You know, she already looks
like a champ.

For those joining us
on their local cable stations,

we are at the halfway point
in this competition.

And in the team competition,

we have Powerhouse Studio
in first place.

And for the individual
competitor,

we have Delphine Lingrind
sitting in first.

In second is Fiona Yu,

and in a close third

is Olivia Shaw
from Canton Middle School.

With only two events left,

the last half of the competition
is going to be very exciting.

ANNOUNCER:
Currently in first place

in the individual competition,
Delphine Lingrind.

Okay, I've done the math,

and there's only one way
I can beat Olivia.

You want to up your start value?

Maybe add a...double twist.

A double twist? Jenny,
you haven't trained for that.

Yes, I have.
You just haven't seen me.

I can do this.

I don't know, Jenny.

I know what my mom thinks,
but what does my coach think?

Okay, if you feel it,
do it on the last pass.

Only if you feel it.
Okay.

[♪♪♪]

DACE:
Guys, I'm not getting a pulse.

Thanks for getting here
so fast, guys.

No problem.

We were just about
to get into another argument

about what the best
load-bearing shape is.

DACE:
It's the triangle.

Again?
I know.

And none of us had the heart
for it.

Okay, guys, what's the story
with the TV?

I think somehow the impact
from the grilled cheese sandwich

caused the input controllers
to short circuit.

Makes the most sense.

What if we bypass
the input controller?

Do it, Kiko.

You got it.

Oh, careful back there.

[TV PLAYING STATIC, VOICES]

Almost...almost...okay.

Okay, guys, we're back
in business!

Momo, you go back 10 feet.

Agreed.
I'll stay behind the couch.

No, you know what?

Go over by the dining room
table.

Even better.

JOON: There are the scores!
GUS: Jenny's in 5th.

The next event is floor.

She's great at that.
Agreed.

This competition
is by no means over.

Look, Lena is about to do
her uneven bars.

ANNOUNCER:
For the Canton Coyotes,
Lena Montgomery.

[APPLAUSE]

Let's go, Lena.

[♪♪♪]

[TEAM CHEERING INDISTINCTLY]

DOMINIC:
Canton Middle School's
Lena Montgomery

is demonstrating quite
the performance so far.

Yes, she is, Dominic.

But like so much of this,

it all comes down
to the dismount.

I'm on the edge of my seat.

Come on, Lena, you got this!

[CHEERING, APPLAUSE]

Thank you!

Good job, Lena!

That was great!

So good!

So good!

Hey, Lena, you really killed it
on uneven bars.

Thanks.

I think you should go
before Olivia comes.

I think she should stay.

I would love to see this.

Too late.

Go hang out somewhere else,
Bops.

This is for Canton gymnasts
only.

I am a Canton gymnast, Olivia.

What do we think, girls? Is she?

She reminds me of someone
who used to be.

Now, she looks more
like a traitor.

Lena? Tori?

Fine!

That's what happens

if you don't devote 100 percent
of your effort to the team.

What do you think
Olivia said?

I don't know,
but even from this far away,

I can tell it's not nice.

Well, at least that girl's
consistent.

[♪♪♪]

Bops, why are we out here?

I don't want them to overhear.

Olivia's turned the whole team
against me.

I know the feeling.

How could you put up with that
for so long?

It wasn't easy.

Stay focused on your floor
routine. You'll do great.

Okay, thanks.

Wait!

Can I just say I'm so sorry?

It's okay.
You don't have to apologize.

Let's get back
to the competition.

You've got it, good luck.

ANNOUNCER:
Next for the Canton Coyotes,
Olivia Shaw.

I hope you're here
to take notes.

[APPLAUSE]

COACH:
Let's go, Olivia!

You got this!

[POP MUSIC PLAYING
ON PA]

You got it!

[CHEERING]

COACH:
Nice!

I have never wanted to see
someone mess up so badly.

She's not going to.

And, honestly,
I don't want her to.

Why?

I want to beat Olivia
when she's at her best.

[APPLAUSE]

[CHEERING]

Yay, Olivia!

[APPLAUSE]

Wow, she's good.

Yeah, but Jenny's even better.

All right, you ready
for your next event?

Good.

Hey!

Hey, Keisha and Rachel
are waving you over.

Why don't you go see them?

Sure.

Hi!

Sorry we're late.

Yeah, tell us everything!

I finished two events,
and I'm up on floor soon.

So I can't talk long.

My mom is being
an awesome coach,

and Olivia is...

Still the dark empress
of the underworld?

Yeah, and I'm adding my double
twist to my floor routine.

Whoa, that sounds scary.

That's the point.

Yeah, your mom
is letting you?

Like I said, she's being
an awesome coach.

ANNOUNCER:
On deck, Jenny Cortez
from Cortez Gymnastics.

I gotta go.

Thanks again for the new
floor music. I love it.

RACHEL:
No problem.

ALL:
Girls For Greatness!

Bye.
Good luck.

All right, you're up.

Listen, if you're not feeling it
on the last pass,

don't do the twist.

Okay,
but I'm going to feel it.

Of course you are.

I don't think I've ever been
so nervous for someone.

It's okay.

As long as she pulls in
from her core

and rotates fully,
she'll be fine.

Whoa!

I have learned a lot
about gymnastics!

There's an interesting entry
at this year's competition.

She's currently sitting
in 5th,

Jenny Cortez
from Cortez Gymnastics.

DOMINIC:
I just wrote an article.

They are a three-generation
gymnastics family.

Her grandfather
was a famous gymnast.

Gus McIlroy.

We've certainly heard
of Gus McIlroy.

[APPLAUSE]

Come on, Jenny.

Go, Jenny, go.
Go, Jenny, go!

ALL:
Go, Jenny, go! Go, Jenny, go!

Go, Jenny, go! Go, Jenny, go!

BOPS:
Nice job, Jenny!

[SIGHS]
She did great.

Yeah, but something's wrong.

Really?

I can feel it.
Oh, no.

Are you okay?

Yeah, I'm fine.

Just go do your floor routine,
you'll do great.

Okay.

Honey, it's your ankle.

Yeah, I think I rolled it.

[TRILLING]

Guys, guys, guys, guys!

Settle down!

Jenny's hurt.

What?

Can you get me some intel
from your sister Cassie?

I'm on it, sir.

That was a remarkable
floor routine.

I think the judges are going to
find that easy to evaluate.

Yes, it was rather remarkable,
wasn't it?

Let's see
what the judges say.

ANNOUNCER:
Jenny Cortez with a score

of 9.7 on the floor.
[APPLAUSE]

WHITNEY:
You moved to third.

Yes!

Good job, honey.

What an amazing score!

Jenny Cortez put herself
close enough

to maybe win this competition.

Okay, put some weight on it.

Ow! Ow.

Okay, sit down.

Did Jenny hurt herself?

I don't know. I didn't see.

Oh, honey, this is really bad.

[♪♪♪]

I think the medic's free.
I'm gonna go grab her.

No, Mom!

If she thinks I'm injured,
she'll pull me.

If you're injured,
you should be pulled.

No, Mom. See, I'm fine.

I only have bars left,
I'm fine.

Jenny, you are not fine!

It's not even a sprain.

Are you sure?

Yes.

Okay.

Let me at least get
some ice for it, okay?

So your ankle's okay?

No. I'm just saying that
to calm my mom down.

Why'd you do that?

Because if she knew how bad
it was,

she'd pull me
from the competition.

[♪♪♪]

ANNOUNCER:
We have seen
some amazing gymnastics.

How do you think this...

MO: Who do you think will win?
Uh, Delphine Lingrind.

A pizza bagel for...

Wait, what?

Did you really just say
my sister is going to lose?

You have to say Jenny will win.

Jenny will win.

Still no pizza bagel for you.

Hey,
any news from your sister?

My sister refuses to tell me
anything, Olivia won't let her.

Hey, what are you guys
doing down here?

You're not supposed to be
out here.

I lent them my extra Canton
jackets to get through security.

Why?
They're your best friends,

and they should know.
Know what?

Jenny's ankle is hurt
really badly.

RACHEL:
What?

You still have
one more event.

Are you gonna do it?

I have to.

I finally get
to perform at my level.

I finally get to be me.

But Jenny,
you could permanent...

Jenny is stronger
than we think.

Although she might be close
to the brink.

Will it be a disaster
that we will see?

Or will it be
a glorious victory?

We'll only know
if this girl's free.

Thank you.

Can you see what's going
to happen next?

Can you see anything at all?

When stakes are this high,
everything's cloudy.

[SIGHS]
I guess the universe
hasn't decided yet.

What's going on?

My brother keeps texting me,
asking about ankle injuries.

I saw Mrs. Cortez getting
an ice pack.

Maybe Jenny's really hurt.

This is great, Olivia.

One more event, and you'll be
captain for another year.

And Jenny will never
bother us again.

No, this is not great.

What don't you guys get?

I thought you wanted
to beat Jenny.

Of course I want to beat her,

but I want to beat
the best her.

I'm so confused.

What don't you understand, Tori?

I want a noble victory.

If Jenny's hurt,
it won't be a real win.

TORI:
I still don't get it.

ANNOUNCER:
Next up on the vault
for the Canton Coyotes,

Tori Bannister.

You've got this, Tori.
Thanks!

GIRL 1: Tori!
GIRL 2: Come on, Tori.

[APPLAUSE]

GIRL 3:
Let's go, Canton!

[APPLAUSE]

[♪♪♪]

[CHEERING]

Well, all the gymnasts

are now through
to their final rotations.

It won't be long now, before we
find out who will be victorious.

And it's close, Dominic.

These last events are going
to determine

the team and individual
champions.

Any predictions?

It's too early to tell.

There's so much incredible
talent here.

Well, let's keep watching,
shall we?

ANNOUNCER:
Now up on the uneven bars,

from the Canton Coyotes,
Olivia Shaw.

[APPLAUSE]

COACH:
You got this, Olivia!

Nice!

[CHEERING]

JOON:
Jenny has to beat that?

She can do it.

What did you get on the vault
again?

I got an 8.3.

That means if Olivia gets
anything over an 8,

we've locked up third place.

Please, that was a 10.

If there was an 11,
it would be that.

Okay, now, now!

In anticipation
for Olivia's score,

we need to remember
winning isn't everything.

The score's up!

ANNOUNCER:
Olivia Shaw moves into first

in the individual competition,

and Canton Middle School
finishes second.

We're in second place?

We did it! We did it!

[ALL CHEERING]

It's not over yet.

Well, Dominic, we have our final
competitor of the competition,

Jenny Cortez
from Cortez Gymnastics

about to go on the uneven bars,

and she's had a fantastic meet.

The weird thing is,
when I interviewed her

she said she was a level four.

PENG PENG:
I don't know what she told you,

but she is no level four.

[TEXT CHIMES]

Uh, guys, Keisha just texted me.

What's going on?

She says Jenny hurt her ankle
really badly.

Oh, boy, here we go.

PENG PENG:
Here's Cortez
with the final routine.

Your routine is good enough
to win, Jenny.

I hope so.

Start beaming her
with positive energy.

I've been doing it
all day.

If you're clean
all the way through,

you'll have enough points so you
can land on your good foot.

Just promise me you'll step out
and take the deduction.

You'll still win.
I promise.

I love you. You got this.

[♪♪♪]

Think about it, are you great?

I'm pretty sure you already
know the answer.

WHITNEY:
Gus is right.

You are better than both of us.

HECTOR:
Jump higher, higher, higher!

Come on, Jenny, you got to make
your legs stronger.

Come on, come on, almost there!

[♪♪♪]

Oh, she just messed up
a transition there.

What does that mean?

It means she's gonna have to
stick her landing to win.

But her foot's hurt.

Yeah.

If she sticks it,
her ankle could be hurt forever.

No, don't do it.
Don't do it, don't do it.

Don't do it, baby.

I need to tell you something.

You're the strongest
of all of us.

[APPLAUSE, CHEERING]

Yeah, whoo!

[CHEERING]

She did it! She did it!

Ow, ow, ow!

Jenny, Jenny!

It's okay, baby girl.
Don't get up, okay?

Just stay down, come here.
Ow.

[CROWD MURMURING]

You didn't have to do that!

Yes, I did. Ow!

Does that hurt?
Yes.

Come on, Keisha!

How is it?

It's gonna be fine.
It's gonna be just fine.

ANNOUNCER:
The final score
for Jenny Cortez

on the uneven bars is 9.5,
which puts her in first place.

She did it!

She's the captain now?

9.5!

Yes, just a tiny deduction,

but what an incredible
performance.

Apparently, she was in a lot
of pain during it.

Well, let's hope she's okay.

Regardless, Jenny Cortez wins
the individual competition

with an incredible comeback
performance.

She's gonna be captain now.

If she can ever compete again.

You did it.

I won.

Yeah.

Come on.

Okay, nice and slow.
