Hit The Floor (2013) s04e07 Episode Script

Foul

Previously on "Hit the Floor" - Will you marry me? - Yes.
My last boyfriend was stage 4 and didn't tell me.
He was taken from me without a good-bye.
There may come a time when you could use my help around here - or I could use yours.
- I'm not what you need.
You know, when they call your name out there, they might not be shouting it the way you want.
Go to hell, Pastor.
You, me, a date? I'm not dating anyone right now.
I'm taking time to work on myself and what I need to get done the rest of this season.
I never thought there'd come a time that I'd feel something again.
- You want to take the shot? - Yeah.
I started something, and I need to see it through.
Does that offer still stand? Come in.
Dunked on 'em, now I'm swingin' off the rim Ain't comin' off the bench While I'm comin' off the court fully drenched Ayo, I been on Ah LMLU All right, now.
Let me love you, let me, let me love you Okay.
Now I really should leave.
Wait, wait, wait.
We don't have to go separately.
Let's go to the arena together.
Together, like, together-together? We are, aren't we? Kyle didn't want a piece of next season's dance team.
Well, she didn't want to do what it took to get it.
You're clearly smarter.
That's just icing on the cake.
I'm as motivated as you are to do some damage.
And the Devils are getting closer to winning the title, so what's the plan? For reasons I won't get into, my badge has been deactivated at the arena.
I won't be at today's game.
But I can operate inside the arena with a different set of hands.
What do you want me to do? I've been given some information.
I haven't been able to do anything with it because I have no proof.
You could get it for me.
What information? It involves Jude Kinkade and Derek Roman.
I'm told Jude used to get Derek coke.
Jude? No.
Yes.
It's definitely true.
I got it from the best.
Now I just need someone close to them to get the final nail.
Jude's with Noah, isn't he? I'm not interested in using my friend.
My boyfriend dealt coke.
I wouldn't think you'd be much of a friend if you didn't tell me.
But all right, if not Noah, maybe someone close to Derek.
German, maybe.
Or London.
No one's closer to Derek right now than London.
I'll figure it out.
Devils! - You got this.
- I do now.
A PDA.
Finally pulling your love train out of the station, huh? And onto the red carpet.
A big movie premiere tomorrow night.
Get it! It's the final seconds of the Western Conference.
It's anybody's game.
The Devils are going to the final! Hello, baby's first finals.
Yeah, it's great.
Hey, what's going on with you? Are you asking as my friend or my manager? Whichever one gets me the answer.
I-I'll get it together for finals.
Okay.
Derek's playing lights out.
I've never seen him play harder.
Wonder why.
What do you know? I don't know anything.
I'd be curious the last time he was drug tested, though.
You think he dopes? I think he parties.
- At least he used to.
- Everyone knows that.
Does everyone know Jude brought the party? Jude used to score coke for Derek.
Who told you that? When Jude was just an assistant, he hitched his wagon to Derek's star.
He became his go-to for everything.
Including coke? Being Derek's go-to helped get Jude promoted to junior agent.
It helped him get his start.
Maybe you don't know your guy as well as you think.
Or maybe Derek's not your guy anymore and that's why you're telling me this.
I'm telling you this because you're my guy.
And the fact that I'm a reporter.
Puts you in a position to check it out and judge for yourself.
But that's on you.
Hey.
I got your text.
- Something wrong? - Yeah, now I know what it is.
This is the week your brother Marcus died.
Not one person's brought him up to me.
He should be in the finals.
But not you? I'm playing for my brother.
- If I don't deliver - You already have.
You and Derek brought the team this far.
These are your finals, not Marcus'.
I gotta go.
The Devils have a 50-50 shot at winning the title.
That means that you have a 50-50 shot of walking away with egg on your face if you insist on keeping this campaign against them going.
So you think I should call a truce? I think you should look at the bigger picture.
Warren, the Devils making the finals is a feel-good story.
It's been great for the League.
I just need to get through this season in peace.
If the Devils win, the first person Jude wants Derek to thank in front of millions of people is you.
For all your support.
Sounds pretty peaceful to me.
I'll see myself out.
Eve.
What was she doing here? Making a good argument for dropping my ultimatum against the Devils.
You can't be considering that.
I'm more than considering it.
- I don't care what she said - Enough.
I'm taking you off time-out.
And off payroll.
Eve, you're fired.
Hey, you coming to the premiere? Mm, can't afford a free movie.
But I'm glad you came by.
I need a maid of honor.
You game? Wow.
Kyle, I'm honored.
But I've never planned that kind of party.
Maybe you want someone with a little bit more experience.
We only have enough money for 12 beach chairs and some bug spray.
- Think you can handle that.
- Can you? Marry a guy with no money? I thought you'd wait for the big score.
I scored Beau.
But if you want to launch a Kickstarter for our honeymoon, please, start kicking.
Miami just won home-court advantage.
That's rough, opening finals on the road.
I'm good with it.
They blew up our house.
Now we tear down theirs.
Maybe this time, their coach gets the concussion.
It wasn't too long ago you were trying to give each other concussions.
Now you're running up hills fetching pails of water.
Hard to imagine what could have torn you boys apart.
Things happen.
Right.
I got a date to get to.
You two kids have fun.
Are we having fun? My night's wide open.
I can't.
Sorry.
Everything okay? Totally.
I'm just trying to get ahead.
- I heard you were fired.
- And you came to gloat.
I came to congratulate you.
You're free.
I feel free.
I almost lost a heel running through the field.
Hey, you're lucky I didn't come here to kick your ass.
You came after my friend.
Jude's entire life is the Devils.
Your loyalty never ceases to amaze me.
That's what loyalty does.
Sometimes it horrifies.
Everyone in that arena knew the truth about German and my mother.
Did you? I just found out.
I can only imagine how you must feel.
You're right.
You can only imagine.
I do know how desperate and alone I felt when I went to Oscar for help once.
It almost destroyed me.
There's nothing left to destroy.
That's not true.
I can help you find a new job, new goals.
You don't have to be alone.
I could be loyal to you.
If you let me.
Eve.
Whatever this is I can't know.
Not until you let go of this vendetta.
Will you? - Derek, London, over here! - Derek! So, D-Ro, London, what is this now? Derek, a little to the left.
Right this way, please! I'm glad we made it official.
Should have done it sooner.
I guess I'm real Guys, right this way! - Not me.
- Oh, yeah, black girl magic! - Pastor Curtis! - Any statements? - Pastor Curtis.
- Can we get a minute - of your time? - Jamie, over here, over here! Questions, questions.
- Over this way.
This way! - Jamie.
Pastor Curtis, please.
Pastor Curtis, over here.
- What the hell are you doing? - Are you jealous? How did you even meet him? Christian Mingle.
You're having your date.
I'm having mine.
I thought you were better than this.
Well, I guess you thought wrong.
Just when I thought you couldn't sink any lower, you find a new pile of shit to limbo under.
Oh, I'm not sinking, London.
I'm finally lifting myself back up.
I'd think you'd be happy for me.
You don't think, or else you wouldn't be here with her.
Oh, it was an invitation I couldn't refuse.
Much like my gag reflex right now.
Or maybe she saw something in me.
- Same thing you see.
- I have Derek now.
Yeah, but does Derek have you? Does he know you like I do? Has he seen you cry? Does he know all your secrets? A real man protects his woman.
You threw yours to the wolves and hid like a bitch.
You're lucky there are cameras here.
I hope this wasn't too awkward for you.
Enjoy the show.
Are you okay? Don't worry about me.
Worry about her.
Eve.
You always pick the most out-of-the-way places.
It's like you're ashamed of me.
Pierce.
I need dirt on someone.
Who? Commissioner Matthews.
I am losing track of your hit list.
Fortunately, that's not your job.
It is, actually.
I'll tell you what.
I'll do this for you.
But you have to do something for me.
Tit for tat.
What do you want? I want to know what exactly you've got going on, what your endgame is.
I'm not that cheap.
Neither am I.
Team jet leaves in an hour, fellas.
You want to play game one, be on it.
Let's go, let's go.
Hustle up.
German.
Hey.
Noah.
Are we alone? Yeah.
What's up? I was doing some research on a Derek-Jude thing, and I stumbled on a Derek-German thing.
Derek-German? Did you guys control the spread in a game this season? Come on, Noah.
So it didn't happen? Stumbled on how? You're not answering the question.
There's nothing to answer.
Somebody would be a fool to admit to that.
Somebody would be a fool to lie, especially if I could connect them to someone shady from Derek's past who made a big bet on a game LA played against Portland.
I pulled the tape.
Derek held the ball.
It didn't have anything to do with Derek.
It was me.
I had this thing that needed to happen.
Just ten points in a game.
Derek was only helping me out of a jam.
Trust me.
It affected nothing.
Just one game at the beginning of the season.
I swear, it's nothing.
Okay.
I figured there had to be an explanation.
That's why I came to you first.
Thank you for that.
I appreciate it.
Sure.
Slaughter them in Miami.
We'll do our best.
It was me.
I had this thing that needed to happen.
Just ten points in a game.
Derek was only helping me out of a jam.
Hurry up, Kyle's gonna be here any minute.
Ooh, love is in the air.
Oh, you little Devils! Surprise.
Desiree! You're here! Oh! Kyle Hart's bachelorette party, where else would I be? You are full of surprises.
- And I've got one more.
- Mm.
No one knows we're here.
I only had a budget for a lockpick.
You broke into the Playground? Oh, I have raised my girls so well.
Okay.
It's time.
Oh.
Uh-uh.
Okay, I don't know what kind of lady boner y'all are trying to give me, but have at it.
Come on.
So far, this is the laziest dance y'all have ever done.
Hey Hey Hey Hey Hey Oh, yeah! Hey Hey Love is like a bomb, baby, come on, get it on Livin' like a lover with a radar phone Lookin' like a tramp, like a video vamp Demolition woman, can I be your man Hey So come on Take a bottle Shake it up Break the bubble Break it up Pour some sugar on me Ooh, in the name of love Pour some sugar on me Come on, fire me up Pour your sugar on me I can't get enough Oh, my God! You got the peaches, I got the cream Sweet to taste, saccharine 'Cause I'm hot, say what Sticky sweet from my head My head to my feet Do you take sugar One lump or two Take a bottle, take a bottle Shake it up, shake it up Break the bubble, break it up Break it up Pour some sugar on me Ooh, in the name of love Pour some sugar on me Come get it Pour your sugar on me Ooh Pour some sugar on me - Yes! - Yeah, sugar me Yes! OLT, we tear the club up I love me some party favors.
You could go home with a goody bag.
Keep your goodies in your bag, Valentino.
I'm a proper wife-to-be.
Oh! Okay, what's going on? What? We all saw Jamie with the pastor.
You're here.
She's right there.
Her ass is thoroughly unkicked.
Tonight is your night, Kyle.
And tomorrow? Tomorrow you'll be gone.
I want her ass kicked out of the Devil Girls.
You a big boy, but you not gonna be my man Our hearts breathe And move at the same time You look amazing.
Thanks.
You looked amazing on that red carpet too.
- Hey - Don't bother.
London.
Hey.
Hey, you ready? Uh, I am.
Yeah.
Kyle, not so sure.
She's been in that cabana for an hour.
Been looking for holes around the beach to see if she Shawshanked.
Could you get her? - On it.
- Yeah, please.
Derek.
- Save it.
- I wanna explain.
You wanna save your ass, and you'll say anything to do it.
That's right, I will.
Because being a Devil Girl is all I've got, and you're the only one who can help me stay one.
Why should I? Because you humped and dumped me, for starters.
How about that? How did you think that would make me feel, hmm? You didn't.
'Cause you had something better to run off to.
Not better.
You know, after the at least friendship I thought we had You told me once I was a fighter.
And you were right.
When you grow up dirty, you fight dirty.
Everything was being taken from me.
I just wanted to take something back, even if it was just my pride.
Did you get it? No.
I'll see what I can do.
But this is it.
Your last save.
Kyle? Leave a message after the beep.
- Beep.
- Should I send Beau in? I'm just gonna need a minute.
You've had 60.
I'm having thoughts.
Like second thoughts? No, pretty much just the one.
I'm never gonna have sex with another man again.
Whew, I'm sweating and cold and dizzy all at once.
I Do you hear that ringing? Okay.
- So let me ask you this.
- Mm.
If you could only have sex with one man for the rest of your life, who would it be? I talked to Eve.
I hope you had better luck getting through to her.
Did something happen between you two? We kissed.
Lionel she's messed with all of us.
You can't trust her.
Are you telling me to back away because you don't want me to have her or because you don't want her to have me? I know you can't keep a secret, but I can't keep one from you, not after what you told me about your ex.
So I have to risk it.
When you asked about me and Derek, I danced around it.
There's more to it.
When I was starting out I would do anything to have a seat at that table.
And part of that involved me getting Derek something.
Getting Derek coke.
Look, I was young, but I knew what I was doing.
We had a falling-out about it, and it was just Thank you for telling me.
Well, that's not all.
The big secret going around here involves the commissioner.
He gave us an ultimatum.
We either win the title, or we're done.
The League will yank our franchise and bring a new team to LA.
Eve Vincent stirred him up.
She has it out for everyone.
She did from the minute she got here.
It all makes sense, why you've been working so hard.
Well, you've been working hard too.
Yeah I've been working on a story.
But It's not a stone I want to turn anymore.
So I'm dropping it.
Since when do you stop pursuing a story? When it could hurt someone who doesn't deserve it.
- Noah.
- Jude.
I knew it.
It's what I told you.
It's not what you said.
It's That doesn't even scratch the surface of what you hold on to.
You're so secretive.
It's second nature.
It's just who you are.
I'll be better.
You're perfect.
You're just not perfect for me.
I don't blame you.
I just I just can't love you.
I'm sorry.
Okay.
Kyle's coming.
What? I need to talk to you.
About Jamie.
Oh, did she drown? Did I miss it? I need her to stay on the team.
I'm not excusing what she did.
But she's had a tough life.
She knows she screwed up.
And some of that may be my fault.
But that's it.
After this, she's on her own.
I hope you can understand.
You're a good man, Derek Roman.
Tide's coming in, bitches.
Let's get this show on the road.
You know highlight of my day Is coming home and seeing your pretty face - You look incredible.
- I know.
Where's the officiant? Here.
- Excuse me? - It took five minutes online.
- Come on, now.
- Here I come.
You know it.
All right, all right.
We can make it through anything He's a cool-ass dude, right? Hell yeah.
She's a bomb-ass chick, right? The bombest.
Then by the power vested in me, I now pronounce you husband and wife.
I don't want to see any lipstick left.
Today Next to you Guys.
You got a permit for all this? Time to hot step, y'all.
Hey, don't forget the presents! - Okay, thanks.
- Thanks, buddy.
What you did was messed up.
I've been a friend to you.
Oh, that's crap, and we both know it.
We're something, but it's not friends.
But you keep me around to what? Help your ego? Have something to wag in front of Derek? And to go to the premiere with the pastor? Sometimes you have to make strong moves to be great.
You think that was strong? That was sloppy.
You made this whole scene, and the only thing people saw was a mess.
No one saw you, but I see you.
You're so scared.
People will take from you, hurt you, leave you Because they do.
You hold on so tight, but you have a guy standing in front of you that you don't have to worry about holding on to because he'll never let go of you, and I've had every reason to.
But I'm here.
I'm here.
Get ya, get ya hands in the air Get ya hands in the air Let me see get ya, get ya Hands in the air Get ya hands in the air Just give it to me Just give it to me Just give it to me Uh-oh, ooh-la-la Uh-oh, ooh-la-la Just give it to me Uh-oh, ooh-la-la Uh-oh, ooh-la-la Just give it to me Get ya hands in the air Just give it to me Just give it to me Uh-oh, ooh-la-la Uh-oh, ooh-la-la Just give it to me Uh-oh, ooh-la-la Uh-oh, ooh-la-la Just give it to me You don't have to guess What I wanna do Taking my time tonight Excuse me, mister.
I just gave you a triple orgasm.
I'ma need a bigger smile than that.
I'm happy.
I am.
I just feel Feel what? Guilty.
You married someone broke.
I know it was a sacrifice, and don't deny that I needed the jaws of life to get you out of that cabana.
Beau.
Hey.
Nothing could keep me from marrying you.
That's what really freaked me out.
I knew.
You had me.
Body and soul.
And body.
I'd rather be poor with you than rich with anyone else.
I love you, Kyle.
I love you too.
You son of a bitch.
Your stuff's right there.
Um so somewhere between last night and this morning Can we not? You're freaking out.
All right, I get it.
It's okay.
Pax you're a good guy.
I don't want to hurt you.
Do I look hurt? I told you I wouldn't let go.
And I meant it.
You deserve to go the distance with someone.
I did go the distance with someone.
Derek.
Right.
You spoke to Noah? Yeah, the coke story was a dead end.
There was something else, but that's dead too.
What something else? Noah thought Derek may have helped German fix a spread against Portland.
But it all wound up being a great big pile of nothing.
We're out of moves.
We're not out of moves.
If you're looking for a tearful good-bye, you've wasted your time.
I don't need your tears or good-bye.
I'm staying.
You're what? I wanted you to be the first to know.
I'm restarting my church in LA.
Hollywood loves a good redemption story.
You got yours.
Now I'ma get mine.
Be seeing you around, London.
A lot.
- One game down.
- Three to go.
You okay? Yeah.
And thanks to you, Commissioner Matthews is looking to ease up on us.
One more to go around? How'd you get past security? I came in on the commissioner's badge.
He fired you.
Fired and rehired when he realized he made a terrible mistake.
It helped to learn his wife's infidelity wasn't limited to Pax.
Turns out she slept with seven different players from seven different teams.
Faced with either a career-ending scandal or a week in Hawaii, Warren chose the latter.
He'll be spending some time there with the missus, trying to repair that freak show of a marriage.
While he's gone, I'll be representing him here.
You chose blackmail.
The Devils have no safety net.
No reprieve.
It's title or game over.
Late workout? Not in the mood for a chat.
Wasn't asking permission.
You cried to Derek and got him to come to your rescue.
I told him I was okay with that.
We're both liars.
So if you think got away with that little stunt, you didn't.
I can't help it if Derek is such a softy.
Well, he wasn't a few weeks ago - when we had sex.
- Derek told me.
That was the same day it was over, right? Apparently, you like all my hand-me-downs.
Keep the pastor.
He's going straight to hell, and so will you.
I've been waiting for you to do that for so long.
Hello, Pax.
I got nothing to say to you.
Not even a "thank you"? "Thank you"? For what? Trying to get me cut from the team? Actually, yes.
I heard you were crazy.
I'm sure you heard I was a whole bunch of things.
I tried to get you out.
But you hanging on might wind up being the best thing for both of us.
What are you talking about? You can help me.
To do what's right.
You have integrity where the others don't, Pax.
Including your idol, Derek.
You don't know Derek.
I know he fixed a game with your coach to meet a ten-point spread.
- Good night.
- An early game.
Portland? Let me guess.
You're remembering a moment when he held on to the ball.
What was the score? 106 to 96.
Derek cheated while you were on the court.
He played fast and loose with the rules and with your career.
This tarnishes you now.
The Devils don't deserve a title.
Derek Roman shouldn't be celebrated by everyone while good people, like your brother, are forgotten.
Marcus never would have played the game dirty like that.
I can make it so your brother's legacy lives on forever.
How? When a new team comes to LA, I'll make sure it's his name on the arena.
You can do that? You just have to help me make sure the Devils don't win the title.
The Devils are going down.
Question is whose side will you be on when they do? Derek or Marcus? Marcus.
Next time, on the season finale of "Hit the Floor" It's title or game over.
It's either I win my first title as a head coach or I coached the last season of the Devils ever.
- You're on your own.
- I hate secrets, and I was keeping the biggest secret of all.
One more thing, something I've been afraid to tell you, but I have to.
- Someone has to lose.
- What the hell is this? I protected you! Let's see what the headlines are tomorrow.
Devils Nation will fall.
