Make It or Break It (2009) s03e08 Episode Script

United Stakes

Previously on Make It Or Break It I think I'm getting a cold, but I hate to take something that I'm not supposed to.
Pseudoephedrine would be automatic elimination.
Is it true? You consider me a leadoff position? I'm better than the gymnast that just goes up there and sets the bar just to pass.
This is a wireless reading device.
Five spikes in a row gets her into risky territory.
Everyone, meet Otis.
Every year a team steals him.
Whoever has him at the end of camp, always medals at the Olympics.
Thanks to you, I've lost everything.
I have no interest in being Mr.
Kaylie Cruz.
NGO's been kind enough to send us Coach Ray Keegan.
No, that's Coach Ray's car! He molested me.
For years, he molested me.
Kaylie, slow down! Think about what you're doing.
Is this even your decision to make? You think I want to do this? I don't! But if Jordan won't tell anybody what Ray Keegan did, then I don't have a choice.
You're accusing him of committing a crime.
A sex crime! Think about what happened to Sasha when everyone thought that he kissed me.
His career was practically ruined.
And he was innocent! Maybe she's lying or confused.
What proof do you have that She wasn't confused! You weren't there, Payson.
You didn't see her.
This isn't some story she's making up because she wants attention.
Keegan molested her.
And he did it for years.
Then why won't she tell anyone? Maybe she's scared or embarrassed.
I don't know.
But I won't let him do this to anybody else.
I couldn't live with myself.
It has to end now.
You're right.
It ends now.
It's a very serious charge, you realize that, don't you? Will Jordan confirm it? 'Cause that's very important.
She'll have to tell the police exactly what Coach Keegan did to her.
Otherwise Well, she didn't want to talk about it this morning, but now that you know He'll never hurt anyone again, I promise you that.
What'cha making? A smoothie.
Um It's Kaylie's favorite.
Well, aren't you just too sweet.
Is she in her room? Um, everyone already left early.
But I know she's coming back.
She left her gym bag.
- Oh that's good.
- Uh, no! I only made enough for Kaylie.
Hey.
Here, Kaylie, I made this for you! Thanks.
- Yum.
Is Jordan here? - Uh, no.
She left after you.
Why, is something going on? - What is it? - Nothing.
Lo, we need to talk.
There's a very strict protocol we have to follow here, Jordan.
I've already spoken with the police.
They're just gonna need you to answer a few questions before they can file formal charges.
You won't even have to see Coach Ray.
I'll be with you.
This is not something you'll have to face alone.
And I know Kaylie feels the same way.
Kaylie told you that Coach Ray molested me? She was concerned for you.
So am I.
No, the only thing that Kaylie Cruz is concerned about is me beating her at Trials.
What she said? It never happened.
I have training to do.
She lied to you.
You know that.
No, I don't know that.
Not for a fact.
And neither do you.
Why would she tell me Coach Ray did all those horrible things if they weren't true? She has a history of self-destructing.
Maybe this is just another version.
Her reaction to pressure.
That's bull.
It's her reaction to Ray Keegan.
Maybe he's the reason why she's had a "history of self-destructing.
" You'd understand if you saw the way that she trashed his car last night.
She what?! Kaylie, I think it'd be best if you stayed out of this right now.
Let me handle it.
Olympic Trials are in just two days.
You should focus on that.
Damn! - We need to talk.
- No.
The only thing I need to do right now is stick my triple back.
'Cause without it, I'm not going to London.
Look, Jordan, I know that it's not easy, but you have to tell Coach Mclntire Get this through your head.
I'm done talking.
To you.
To Coach.
To everyone.
Talking doesn't solve anything.
It's something.
It's a start.
Is it? You think I didn't try to tell people about Keegan? I told my foster parents after that summer at camp and you know what they did? Nothing.
They said that I was lucky to have someone like Coach Ray working with me and that I shouldn't screw it up.
How about your other foster families, like the one in Balti? I kept my mouth shut.
No one's gonna believe me.
It's always gonna be my word against Keegan's.
So just let it go, Kaylie.
Let it go.
OK, easy.
Easy.
Single turn now, let's not push it.
How's she doing? Dr.
Walker is right.
She's healing.
She's only spiked twice into the danger zone And she's safe until she spikes five times.
- It's a simplified routine.
- Yeah.
OK.
Let's stop there.
Save the dismount.
Like I could even do a dismount if I wanted to.
You look so cute on the little beam.
You remind me of myself when I was five.
Wendy.
Urine sample.
We'll be doing drug tests all through Trials.
Ah, no worries.
I'm very careful about staying away from everything on that list you gave me.
So, when can I get back on the regulation beam, practice my full routine? That's up to Dr.
Walker.
We'll send him a copy of your graph.
Wendy! Do what you were told.
Get that sample for Annie now.
Hey Max, sorry I'm late.
My car got vandalized last night.
Been dealing with the insurance company.
Outside.
We need to talk.
You need to leave.
Now.
I don't want you around the girls.
Why? I got a report that you acted improperly with one of them.
Improperly? What does that mean, exactly? Don't play dumb with me, you know exactly what it means.
And you honestly believe that? Then where are the police to arrest me? The girl that's involved isn't ready to go to the police.
Yet.
But make no mistake, you're going to need a lawyer before this is done.
Come on, Mac.
I've been coaching girls for 25 years.
I've been through the same background checks as you have.
Don't you think if I had ever acted "improperly," that would have come out by now? This is not a girl who lies, Ray.
This is a girl who, if anything, is too honest.
Everyone lies, Mac.
Rumors like this could destroy a man's career.
Don't let some screwed-up kid destroy what we're trying to do here.
Why haven't you asked me who the girl is, Ray? Don't you care? Or do you already know? I didn't ask because it doesn't really matter who, does it? So stop playing judge and jury and let me do my job.
Trials are two days away and those girls need me.
And you need me.
I told you to leave.
I'm not going anywhere.
The NGO hired me.
I don't work for you.
Who needs a lawyer now? Did you have to hit him? No.
But don't expect me to apologize, either.
Do you know how special the coach/athlete bond is? That he would exploit that to Look, Mac, I'm as frustrated as you are, but Kaylie's word just isn't enough.
Thank you.
I've spoken to our legal team and Keegan is entitled to the presumption of innocence.
If Jordan won't speak up, there's nothing we can do.
Not without exposing the NGO to liability.
I'm telling you right now, that son-of-a-bitch Keegan sets foot in that gym, I'll hit him again.
I don't understand.
If Jordan doesn't want to say anything to the police, why did she bother beating the hell out of Keegan's car? A warning, maybe? I I don't know.
But I think she was worried he was going after Wendy.
If that's true, then there must be other girls.
Even if Jordan was his first, there's no way that she was the last.
We just need to find someone else that would be willing to talk.
How do we do that? - Social media.
- What? OK.
Between you and me, we have to know at least 20 or 30 girls - that have been to one of Ray Keegan's camps.
- Yeah.
And each of them will know even more.
That's great.
And we only need to find one other girl - to show Jordan that she's not alone.
- Exactly.
Let's set up an alert so that we don't miss it if someone answers.
- How's that? - I like it.
It's the sound of Ray Keegan going to jail.
I'm here.
What is so important, it couldn't wait? You've gotta be kidding me.
Flowers? Yeah.
I saw on TV that you Barbies are always getting handed flowers when you're up on the medal stand.
Thought I'd hit you a day early.
For luck.
It looks like you walked on them and then dipped them in paint.
It looks like you've been dipped in paint.
Where did you get these? I'm working on a little art project.
Never mind.
You don't want the damn flowers, just say so.
No.
It's just that if you were gonna give me something for luck I'd rather have the Otis.
You can just forget about Otis.
Otis is deep, deep, deep undercover.
So what's the real reason you wanted to see me? The flowers aren't enough? OK, I got some news from my coach today.
And it's so good that it needs to be shared and for some reason, don't ask me 'cause I can't explain it myself, the first person I thought of was you.
Hmm.
What's the news? Promise me you won't get too excited.
I'm not sure your weakened, cold, cold, heart can handle it.
- I promise.
- I made the team.
I'm going to London.
I'm going to the Olympics! Yeah! Now, I know you want to give me a kiss or hug me or something, and you're the shy type.
And that's OK.
You have my permission.
I'm sorry.
Only gold medal winners get kisses.
If I win gold medal you're gonna have to get in line.
But you've got a deal.
Are you absolutely sure this is the best way to get ready for Trials? Well, when Sasha took me to ballet to help with my routine, it really worked and so I'm hoping this'll work too.
Oh, I'm not complaining.
Wish my homework involved going to a club.
I just think my choreography needs a little kick.
Hopefully, some authentic Latin flavor will do the trick.
And here I thought you just wanted to dance with me.
Mister, that ain't the half of what I want to do with you.
Oh, wow.
What was I thinking? There's no way I can do this.
Yes, you can.
My bright light can shine in whatever she chooses to do.
Just let yourself go.
- Woo.
- Oh, too hot to handle? Jordan wasn't the only one.
What's going on? We put the word out to other girls Keegan coached.
We just couldn't believe you were alone in this.
- No, you had no right - Jordan, please.
Look.
You weren't the only one.
There were other girls.
You aren't alone.
And it looks like they're ready to come forward.
It wasn't your fault.
It wasn't.
It's over.
No.
But it's something.
Coach Mac knows this counselor, so I'm gonna talk to her.
- That's good.
- Mm-hm.
Yeah, I've seen enough.
So, what you do you think? I loved it! OK, be more specific? Well, I thought the flippy part was very cool.
And uh the double Iranian? I love you, but you're useless.
You're not getting the proper set for the height you need to land the double Arabian.
You're falling out of the switch side, the dance moves need more flow and there's no kissing during practice.
- Shall I continue? - Sasha, what are you doing here? Your friend Rigo gave me a call, told me what was going on.
You're taking a big risk defying Coach Mclntire.
He's wrong about me.
I'm no sacrificial lamb.
I know, Payson, but he's the Olympic coach.
And if you go against his wishes, he could keep you off the team entirely.
I didn't fight all of these years just for a trip to London.
Isn't a gold medal worth the risk? Well, this may sound selfish, but I would like my gold medal back.
And that will likely only happen when you win one of your own.
So, let's get busy, shall we? Romeo.
Beat it.
We have work to do.
Come on then.
Ah, Mr.
and Mrs.
Cruz, thank you for driving down so early.
I didn't want Coach Mclntire to say anything until we were all together.
We're here now.
What is it? We received the results of Kaylie's most recent drug test late yesterday.
I'm afraid she's tested positive for a banned substance, pseudoephedrine.
It's often found in cold medications, but it also can be used as a performance aid.
But, that's crazy, I didn't take anything.
I never even had a cold.
Clearly there's been some sort of mistake made here.
How do we fix it? I'm sorry, there's no mistake.
Are you saying that Kaylie is lying? Because my daughter, I can tell you, she doesn't lie.
Mrs.
Cruz, are you aware that pseudoephedrine can also be used as an appetite suppressant? Why don't we talk about what's really going on here? Hm? You have an agenda.
You haven't wanted Kaylie to compete ever since she went against the wishes of the NGO and confessed to the public that she had an eating disorder.
That is not true! OK, let's calm down.
Look, when I played pro ball I'd hear a lot about false positives with these tests.
Why don't we at least give Kaylie a blood test.
I think we'll get a more accurate result.
- That seems reasonable, Marcus.
- NGO protocol doesn't allow for extra tests.
I'm sorry.
Those are the rules.
Then change the rules! I can't.
So, what does this mean? It means you can't compete in Trials today, Kaylie.
It means you can't go to the Olympics.
No.
No.
Lot's happened in the past 24 hours.
Ray Keegan was arrested, Kaylie Cruz has been disqualified.
I'm sure you've heard it all and I'm sure you have questions.
Well, now it's not the time.
Now is the time we focus on Trials.
The most important competition you participate in outside the Olympics.
Now, the gym will be open for work out this morning if that's what you choose to do, but my advise, your bodies are ready.
Take some time to prepare your minds.
That's all.
How's Kelly? I left her a million messages.
She's devastated.
I had to stop her from packing.
And her dad is threatening to see the NGO if they don't allow her to take a blood testing compete.
It sucks about Kelly, huh? In a weird way, I blame myself.
I knew she was going too thin and didn't say anything.
It's true.
That's why I made all those fruit smoothies for her.
Ugh.
I've had it with that little bug's good act.
Why? Because she reminds me of someone I know me.
Anyway, we've gotta go get Kelly, in case the whole lawyer thing doesn't work out, I have an idea I wanna try.
It kinda helped me when I was in the hospital.
Come on, let's go.
Otis? You dragged me out here to find Otis? It's not like anyone else had a better idea.
Besides, when Jake brought Otis to the hospital, I really think it helped.
No, Lo.
Otis didn't help.
Dr.
Walker, he helped.
Honestly, this is a waste of time.
- Kaylie, wait.
- I'm sorry.
I know that Otis is silly good luck charm, but he's something to believe in.
So since we're here, what have we got to lose? What makes you think that humongous head is around here? Call it a hunch.
Jake gave me larkspur flowers.
And the only larkspur flowers on campus are right here in the garden.
I even asked one of the groundskeepers.
So what, you think they buried him? No.
I think they disguised him.
Jake said something about Otis going deep, deep undercover.
They didn't bury him, they drowned him.
- What? - OK.
He said he's "deep undercover.
" He's in there! - This is ridiculous.
- You're not - Oh, I can't believe you're getting in.
- Come on, help me.
Uh Oh, my God, I can't believe it.
It is Otis! Come on, Kay.
Rub him for luck! Guys, I'm glad you found Otis, but this isn't a game, and Otis can't bring me luck.
You know that.
We all know that.
Mom! Dad! It's open! Austin.
What are you doing here? There's no reason in the world that you should forgive me for the things that I said.
The way that I treated you.
I was hurt that I didn't make the team, but that's not an excuse.
And I was embarrassed, I didn't feel worthy of you.
So I tried to blame you.
You should hate me for that.
I know that I hate myself.
So what, am I supposed to feel bad for you? No.
I just want you to know how very sorry I am.
That's all.
Good luck at Trials.
I know you'll do great.
I'm not competing in Trials.
I failed the drug test.
The drug test is bogus.
Kaylie is my roommate.
I've seen her eat and I know her habits.
Her eating disorder is under control she isn't taking anything.
Drug tests don't lie.
I'm sorry girls, there's nothing we can do about this.
Maybe you can't.
But I can.
What are you going to do? I'll boycott Trials.
If Kaylie doesn't compete, I don't compete.
And I don't compete.
Neither do I.
Look, just let her compete and then give her the blood test.
You owe her that much.
The NGO doesn't give in to threats.
That was the worst case of insubordination I've ever seen.
That or the greatest team ever.
The worst part is, I'm being punished for something I didn't do.
My past is being held against me and it's not fair.
Don't give up.
Not as long as your father - is still fighting for you.
- God, it's just noise! Dad shouts and he makes threats, but he doesn't do anything! What about your friends? I'll bet they' trying to help.
Do you know how they're trying to help? They took me to go find Otis.
How's that for a joke? They just probably see me as one less competitor standing in their way to the Olympics.
I'm probably the last person you want to hear this from, but I know what it's like to lose a dream.
I know what it is to feel bitter and lash out at people who love you.
Don't do it, Kaylie.
You're better than that.
Look until the team boards that plane for London, anything can still happen.
And what if I just can't believe that? Then you lose more than a dream.
You lose everything.
It's Coach Mclntire.
Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the 2012 - Women's Gymnastics Trials.
Please welcome our special guests, and fellow Olympians, the United States 2012 Men's Gymnastics Team, the US Women's Volleyball Team, the US BMX Cycling Team, the US Men's Wrestling Team, the US Men's and Women's Rifle Shooting Team, the US Men's Water Polo Team, the US Women's Swimming Team, and the reason we're here today, the candidates for the United States - - And would you look at that.
Ladies and gentlemen, it appears they have Otis.
Listen, um, Coach told me what you guys did.
The risk you took with Marcus.
I I don't know how to thank you.
One-two-three, three-two-one.
We all go to London.
That's how you thank us.
Now it's one-two-three-four.
I'm still a bit rattled, but whatever happens, you guys are my best friends.
And you always will be.
Up first, Kaylie Cruz on vault.
You're still in this.
Yeah.
You got it, Kay.
Good luck, Kaylie! - You got this, Kaylie.
- Thanks, Coach.
She looked ragged in warm-up.
Considering she didn't know she was competing up until an hour ago, I thought she looked damn impressive.
KP! I'm so glad you're here.
Hey This is your destiny, Kaylie.
I've always known that, even when you didn't.
Don't let anyone take that from you, OK? OK.
Kill this one for the both of us.
OK.
- Good luck.
- Thank you.
Up next, Kaylie Cruz on vault.
I don't see after the day she had, how her head can be in this.
Well, lucky for her, she's as hard headed as you.
Let's hope.
But now I'm coming home Hey, baby There ain't no easy way out Hey, I Will stand my ground Yeah! That's it Kaylie! Way to land it! Did you see that Chenko full on full off? Genji Cho is the only other girl in the world with one.
Outstanding! Outstanding.
- Thanks, Coach.
- Lookin' good, girl.
- Good job.
- Too bad you won't be going to London.
Won't back down - Hey, baby - This team could really use her.
It's all up to the blood tests.
And we both know what they're gonna say.
Give it up, Mac.
Up next, Jordan Randall on uneven bars.
Hey.
I understand now why you wouldn't do the Layout Jordan.
It's because you refuse to let Coach Keegan own even a small piece of your victories.
But this triple back dismount is different.
It's all you.
Nobody else can claim it.
I want you to show everyone what you can do.
I'm gonna smoke that triple.
Now, maybe you better step back before you get burned.
- Yes, that's my favorite girl Every time we're together it gets electrical We attracted to each other like two opposite poles.
Pointing towards each other we can't say no Can't say no and won't say no So hot in here I wish I had a window Electric, magnetic, energetic And there's nothing else like it The way my body feels, don't wanna ever feel another feeling Got me exploding like I overloaded Baby, let's go You got me feelin' all right You got me feeling all right You got me Electric, baby, electric Wow, would you look at that, ladies and gentlemen.
Jordan Randall just landed a triple back dismount.
- Borrow your lip gloss? - Oh, No! Um Sorry.
I'm sort of a germaphobe.
So, what did you mean when you said, "too bad Kaylie's not going to London"? What? Just, well, she's taking pseudoephedrine, and that shows up in your blood, not just your urine.
Well, aren't you the expert.
How did you know what she was taking? Everyone knows, don't they? No.
Actually, Kaylie didn't want anyone to know.
Ladies and gentlemen, Lauren Tanner on beam.
Good luck.
Testing, one, two, three.
Testing, one, two, three.
You spike five times, I stop you.
Do not make me blow this whistle.
- I won't.
- OK.
How many times has she successfully made it through her routine without spiking? She hasn't.
And that's just in practice.
Now add the stress of competition And there is no way she finishes.
Yeah! I wipe the tears away from my eyes I should have known, I'm not surprised I'd expect nothing less from you - Good job! - You were so Next up, Colleen Evans on floor.
Tried to pull me down but you couldn't do it Wendy Capshaw on deck.
I was just out of your reach Remember this Revenge is sweet All right, let's see what Little Miss Perky's really up to.
But I'm not bitter, I'm not bitter Tried your best to cut my heart out But I'm not bitter, I'm not bitter I'll be the last one to love You'll be a memory in my past You're as cold as winter But I'm not bitter, I'm not bitter You can use your words as weapons How strong is your defense? I'll be the last one to love You'll be a memory in my past You're as cold as winter - I'm not bitter Gotcha! Ladies and gentlemen, Kristen Henniford on floor, and Payson Keeler on deck.
So, if I play it safe and do my Swan Lake routine, I'm almost guaranteed a spot on the team.
Payson, that's fantastic! But safe isn't what you want, is it? Remember when you told me once that I put everything, my emotions, into little boxes? Mm-hm.
I feel like I've been put into one.
And I want to break out and be free.
But, if Coach Mclntire doesn't like my new routine, it could cost me everything, my place on the team.
And after everything you and Mom have sacrificed I'm afraid to Stop.
I don't want you talking like a Keeler.
We're not the Cruzes, we're not the Tanners.
We're safe.
We always have been.
I mean, look at me, I'm not a very exciting guy.
- Dad - I'm serious.
I play it safe.
And you carry your family history with you.
We all do.
But if you're lucky, you can transcend it.
I want you to transcend it.
Here.
Now.
You write your own history.
Go get 'em.
New music? I'd like to show you what I can do.
I know what you can do, Payson.
No.
You don't.
But you're about to find out.
Memories deep inside Ladies and gentlemen, Payson Keeler on floor.
Whoo! Go, Payson! Deep inside Well I've always been reckless and foolish with love Always pushing my luck with the spirits above My heart is not crazy it's just too complex And with four different lovers You don't get much rest Well I've gone and created a mess So please save some forgiveness for me A man blinded by love can't think clearly So please save some forgiveness for me Go, Payson! - Payson! - Yeah! Well, ladies and gentlemen, that wraps up the competition.
The US Women's Olympic Team will be announced shortly.
Objectively, these are our top five finishers.
Is there any reason we shouldn't make them our 2012 Olympic team? You and I both know we let Kaylie compete to appease her friends.
But she tested positive for pseudoephedrine.
There's no way the NGO can set that kind of precedent.
She's out.
You were amazing out there, sweetie.
We are so proud of you, honey.
And this blood test is gonna prove they were wrong about you taking drugs.
They weren't wrong about her.
She's gonna test positive again.
I really think we should reconsider Laur It was that little bitch Wendy.
I'm so proud of you, Sasha, I hope you are too.
I am.
But there are also regrets.
Emily? Yeah.
And you.
How did I lose you? Why didn't I try harder to You did try.
We both did, but some things just aren't possible.
Don't tell me you stopped believing in miracles.
Yes, I ordered some medicine for my cold.
But when I found out it was on the banned substance list, I threw it all away.
You're lying.
I'll bet you put it in all those fruit smoothies you made for Kaylie.
The ones you wouldn't let anyone else drink, Wendy.
But, why would I do that? I like Kaylie.
If I wanted to drug someone it would be you.
- What did you just say?! - Damn it, tell the truth, Wendy.
You drugged me, didn't you?! Lauren, unless you have some proof that Wendy actually used the medicine Strawberry lip gloss.
It's in the bag, it's in her lip gloss case! - Give me this! - Give - Give it back! - Hey, let go! - Let me have it.
- Girls.
That's enough! Ladies and gentlemen, please take your seats.
It has been my privilege these past eight weeks to coach a group of girls who have continually surprised me with their strength, their stamina, their skill, and their sheer will to perform at levels that never failed to impress and inspire me.
How about a hand for all our girls.
In the end, five girls stood out.
I believe these five girls, individually and as a team, will bring not only honor, but Olympic gold to the United States.
I am proud to announce the 2012 US Women's Gymnastics Team.
They are Jordan Randall.
Payson Keeler.
Yeah! Kaylie Cruz.
This is happening! Colleen Evans and Lauren Tanner! Oh my God! - We're going to London.
- I know.
Is this real life? London! London! London! London! London! You took Otis! I've been high I've been low Travelled down every single road Just 'cause they never done this Got nothing to do with you Ladies and gentlemen, the US Olympic Gymnastics Team.
Don't look back We've come too far Baby you were born to be a star Whoa, whoa Whoa, yeah
