Original subtitles

- Previously on "Hit the Floor"...

- Interesting that everything I have is everything you want.

- I'm no rebound, and that scares you.

I'm end game.

- Us staying together,

it'll hurt what each of us are trying to do.

- If this is what you want,

there's nothing I can say about it.

- Does that mean... - I think it does.

- I love you too...

you son of a bitch.

- I'm scared to death,

but I wanna take this chance with you.

I wanna be brave.

- Devils Arena is a hellmouth.

- Your parents chose a life in the hellmouth

instead of a life with you.

- Only thing that'll save the Devils from extinction

is a title.

- You do your worst,

and I'll do mine.

- LA is on fire, people.

It's triple digits in the streets,

and absolutely scorching inside Devils Arena,

with the Devils on an eight-game hot streak.

Pax, you're one-half of the dynamic duo

fanning the flames.

It's your first playoffs.

Think you'll keep it going with today's game?

- If I don't, this guy here will kick my ass.

- Oh!

Derek, where is this coming from?

- Uh, I like kicking ass.

It's all about winning the title, so...

we are playing like our lives depend on it.

- We'll see later today

if the Devils can make it nine for nine.

- Hi, Mom.

- Rookie.

- Exactly.

- Seriously, though, are you juicing,

or what's--what's-- - Get out of here.

- Come on. - This guy.

You heard from Eve? - Don't worry about her, okay?

You focus on the court, on winning,

and I'll take care of Eve. - You got a plan?

- She's not a snake in the grass anymore.

The minute she pops up, I'll be there.

- Okay...spill it.

- Spill what? - Ever since the ISNYs,

there's been weird juju from your team.

That interview was tense.

Something's up.

- You already told me you can't keep a secret.

- So there is a secret? - Oh, my God.

Bye.

- The AC in the arena's busted? Today is gonna be rough.

- Hello. - Morning.

- You got a second?

- Yeah, take a few.

- Look, um...

I've been thinking about what you said at the ISNYs,

that there's more to this dance

and what we're doing,

and, well...

I think you may be right.

- I don't need you to tell me I'm right.

- Okay, then how 'bout a date?

I don't jump when Derek Roman snaps his fingers.

I'm not that easy.

I'm glad you had your revelation.

You can live with it now.

- Kyle?

Surprise, I'm back, baby.

Man, I missed you, Kyle.

- Don't you "baby" me.

You don't get to declare your love for me,

make me declare it right back-- something I have never done--

then saunter back two years later

with a "hey, baby" and some cheap flowers.

- Okay, okay, okay, okay.

Come on, Kyle, listen, you know I had to disappear

till things cooled down. It got hot.

- It cooled down months ago,

but you still stayed away.

Well, Kyle Hart waits for no man.

- Whoa, whoa, whoa...

I've never stopped thinking about you,

or the cabin in Big Bear...

the roof of the Pacific Design Center...

twice.

- I have moved on, and you need to move on...

out of my life.

Beau, bye.

- All right, we got that. Moving on.

- Hello, Jamie.

Omar Malick, producer of "Du Monde" magazine.

Of course, the day we come to Devils arena,

it's hot as hell.

- Were you expecting to shoot a fashion spread, featurette,

and a dance in one day, and not break a little sweat?

- That would be ludicrous.

- Rolling!

- Hi, I'm Jamie Lawson,

and I'm gonna be the cover girl for "Du Monde" magazine's

Devil Girls edition.

- Is that so?

- There can only be one of us.

- Tell me why it should be you.

- We all get here different ways.

I came by car.

But I didn't just drive mine.

I lived in it...for months.

- Really?

- That's what it took, and I do what it takes.

- Your parents instilled that in you?

- My mother was hooked on my father, literally.

He was her dealer.

She chose heroin over me,

and I chose myself.

Being a Devil Girl means

I am capable of achieving anything I want,

no matter what's in my way.

- That's powerful stuff. Thank you for opening up.

- That was inspiring.

Our stories are so similar.

I didn't live in my car,

but I didn't have my parents much either.

You learn to rely on yourself

in a way most people wouldn't understand.

- Most don't try.

- Sometimes, surviving requires having an ally.

There may come a time

when you could use my help around here,

or I could use yours.

- I'm not what you need.

- I'm not so sure.

- I am.

- We can access the lighting grid?

- They said yes. Anything else you need?

- To interview the legendary London Scott.

- I have to focus on the dance.

Later would be better. - Okay.

We can really take our time and dig in.

- Hey.

- I didn't know you even knew this room existed.

- I didn't. I have you GeoTracked.

What's on your mind?

- Same thing that's on yours, from the looks of it.

Have you heard from her?

- Not since the last time you checked.

I did not see that coming.

- None of us did.

- Well, I knew Eve a little better than the rest of you.

- I knew her as well as you did.

- No.

- Ha, yes.

As well as you did.

- Wait, while you and I... - Before.

You got my sloppy seconds.

I was hoping by telling you this,

we could get our heads together

and figure out a way to cool her down.

Let go of the image, German.

- Right.

Well, I don't know what it's gonna take.

She's angry.

She reminds me of her mother.

- You knew Olivia well?

- Not really.

- Well, we're gonna have to figure something out.

She's been quiet.

In my experience, that can be a very bad thing.

- Here you are, sir. For two.

- Hello, Oscar.

- Eve.

Delighted to meet you, young lady.

Olivia and Chase's daughter.

- You were close? - Oh, with each of them...

in their own individual ways.

Perhaps we can be close as well.

- I like that,

doing business with Oscar Kinkade.

- That's one of the reasons I called you.

I work for the League.

There's a city block in West LA

that would make the perfect home for a new team.

It meets all the zoning requirements.

- I know.

I own it.

And you'll be richer when you sell it.

I have an interested party.

- Mm.

Another team owner?

You know my son owns the Devils.

If you're bringing this up to me,

you know my relationship with him.

- You'll get the satisfaction of smacking him down,

where he belongs perhaps.

- Where do I belong?

Do you really think that I wouldn't know

that Olivia and Chase had a child?

Your parents kept you away because of me.

You carry quite a grudge as a result.

You're going after the Devils.

What makes me think you won't come after me too?

Oscar Kinkade should be able to handle any adversary.

- I seem to have a weakness

when it comes to beautiful women.

I don't take them as seriously as I should sometimes.

You are so much like your mother.

You should focus that anger on the person

who really took your mother from you.

- Raquel Saldana is dead.

- Raquel Saldana was covering

for the person who really did it...

German Vega.

You look smashing together

in those red carpet photos, by the way.

- You're a liar.

- Has anything you ever heard about me

suggested I lie?

- If what you're saying were true,

everybody would know.

Everybody does.

- Yes! - Somebody's happy.

- First playoff win.

- Rookies.

- Hey.

- Are you gonna kiss me again?

I told you, that was just excitement for keeping my job.

- Okay.

- I told you a lie.

Today, for the first time,

I scored higher than Derek Roman.

I know greatness matters to you,

so I waited for this very moment

to ask you out.

- You're... - Asking you out.

That's right.

You, me,

a date.

So, when are you free?

- Pax...I like you...

- Not the friend zone. - No.

Actually...

- No? - Well, yes,

but it's not about you.

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 the season.

It's an important time for you too,

even more so.

You should be doing the same.

- It's the friend zone. - It's not.

I see you, Pax,

and I like what we have.

I just...

I hope it's enough.

- You're lucky you're cute.

- Drinks on me, buddy.

- Noah. - Yeah?

- I flew out from New York to see the game and you.

- Thanks.

I've been working on my glutes.

I do this--these squat things,

where I--I have this dumbbell through my legs, and--

- Yeah, yeah, listen, I'm gonna be brief,

because it's hot as balls in here.

I run a network morning show,

and our sports guy is, like, older than Mount Rushmore.

So, we're on the hunt for a replacement--

someone younger, less atrophied.

I think you'd be perfect.

- To start next season or...

- Well, trying to avoid an on-air collapse.

I mean, we'd need you ASAP.

- I mean, that's a big ask.

- Yeah, and a big move up over sideline duties.

- And a big move to New York.

- And a big pay bump.

And you're thinking about it.

- Brace yourself, Omar.

- We're ready if your crew is.

- Let's do it.

Play back.

Why the hell are you still here?

- Engine won't start.

I'm working on it.

Can't we talk this out in the meantime?

- Oh, now you wanna talk? - Yeah.

- Nothing you could say would justify your actions.

- Well, what if I said I had money?

- No. Uh-uh.

Get this bucket started and get your ass out of here.

- Did you seriously text me here to watch you take a bath?

- I thought you'd want in.

- Is that...

- Last ice in the arena.

More precious than diamonds, and I saved it for you.

Join me?

- Is this your idea of a date?

- Hey, that's cold.

Do that again.

- This is for the ice only.

- Whatever you say.

- Hi, honey...

I'm home.

- What the hell are you doing here?

- I came to see my son.

Have you seen him?

- Have you stroked out thinking I would tell you?

It's a shame you came all this way for nothing.

- I didn't come into town for Jude.

I came for business.

That's what you pretend to do all day with my money.

Business with whom?

- Eve Vincent.

- What business could you possibly have with her?

- She had business with me.

- She hates you. - She hates someone else more.

Now, as much as I love watching you walk away,

you'll have to have the honor this time.

Excuse me.

- Perfect timing.

Come on in.

- I'm gonna work on the AC. - Why?

- 'Cause the repair man can't get here until tomorrow,

and I gotta do something to help my team.

How has your day been?

Anything interesting?

- Uh, no.

- Okay.

- I'll come with you.

- You know how to fix industrial AC systems?

- Nope...

But I doubt you do, so I am not missing this.

- Let's go.

- Oh... - Yo, Kyle, are you okay?

- He's taunting me.

I've been helping you. Now you gotta help me.

Keep me from going to town on that man.

Naked Town.

- Uh... - I need him gone.

Get out there and get his engine running,

before I do.

- All right, all right, I'm on it.

- There you are. - Here I am.

- Phenomenal dance.

Now you're free for a phenomenal interview.

- I just saw Mary Beth in wardrobe.

- You're gonna have to talk about it at some point.

- Why bother?

We both know the only reason you'd put me on the cover

is because of the scandal,

and the scandal is not the reason I wanna be on the cover.

- What else is there? - Excuse me?

- No one knows there's more to the story,

because you haven't said a word about the Pastor publicly.

The person keeping things one-sided is you.

I want your side.

A lot of people do.

When you're ready.

- So, it's...just you and me...

All alone.

Wanna talk about anything?

Anything...Devils-related?

- Nope.

- Is it a person, place, or thing?

- Just give me the number of syllables.

- If you tagged along to get info out of me,

you're wasting your time.

- I can break anyone. Why can't I break you?

- I'm a frustrating guy.

- You are.

And this ability you have

to just say absolutely nothing is just--

it's just...

Heat's gotten to you. - Something has.

- My knee's been killing me.

Too much floor work.

- Mm, yeah, me too.

- Ankle next?

- I mean, I would, but we're out of ice.

- Why is there champagne here?

- Well, I thought maybe,

but maybe not.

- Little early in the day for a drink, no?

- It's 5:00 somewhere.

- I know you're upset,

but this has to stop, Eve.

This thing that you have against the Devils, it's...

- "Thing"?

You know my history, German.

In a way, it's intertwined.

Poetic, if you think about it.

Do you?

Think about it?

- I do.

- I've had a long time to think about it.

- Why would you bring Oscar to town?

He's the one you hate the most.

- Is he?

What are you worried about, German?

It's not like anyone's showing up dead.

Although...

it's happened before.

It could happen again.

I know you killed my mother.

- How'd it go? - Great.

Beau's truck is up and running.

- Ugh, thank you, Pax Almighty.

I hope you set his GPS to "off a cliff."

How'd he look when he drove away?

Brokenhearted?

- Wow, you look amazing.

Amazing.

- Pax?

How'd he look when he drove away?

Are you kidding me?

- The guy was melting outside, and he's hilarious.

Di--did you know that? - Yes, I know that.

I also know he's-- he's beautiful and gorgeous

and charming and 20 feet away from me,

and I'm not tethered.

- Ready?

- Yes, uh-huh. Mm-hmm, yeah.

- Great. Let's, uh--let's begin.

Um---- Kyle Hart...

- Mm-hmm?

- What has being captain

of the Devil Girls meant to you?

- Oh, I--I'd say, um..

big things.

Real big.

Huge.

Oh, and--and girthy.

Oh, I'm sorry, what was the question?

- Here, have some, uh-- have some water.

- Oh. Yeah...

- It's hot, right? - Yeah.

- Oh--oh...

- Let's keep going. Um, wh--uh,

how does it feel to be desired by so many?

- Ah. Ah.

Sometimes, you just need your can licked.

You know, I--I'm just going to need a break.

Oh, God. Hurry!

- I gave it up.

Now it's your turn.

- Mm.

- Fine.

I'll go first.

I got a job offer...

in...New York.

- I know.

- You know?

- I'm the team owner, Noah.

People tell me things.

I asked Lionel about it.

I guess she didn't know, and she killed it.

- You sabotaged my job offer?

Look, it was-- it was a bad mistake.

I didn't mean to cost you your opportunity.

- You didn't.

I already turned it down.

- Noah, I'm sorry--

- We're done here.

- I wanted to tell you, Eve, I swear,

but I didn't know how.

Every time I went to,

I felt like I was gonna hurt you all over again.

- So you slept with me instead.

- I slept with you because of how I felt about you.

I didn't plan it.

I didn't plan any of it, I promise.

I went to see your mom that night

to stop her from hurting a lot of people.

I don't wanna see you do the same.

- Or what?

You'll kill me too?

- I'm not a killer.

- No, you're a success.

You're about to win a title,

you...

and all the people in that arena

who covered for you.

Guess what?

I'm not gonna let that happen.

How's that drink, German?

Relax.

I'm not a murderer.

That's you.

I'm so much worse.

You were the one thing

making me go easy.

Now you're the thing that's gonna make me go even harder.

- Time for one more?

- Absolutely.

Have a seat.

Welcome, London Scott.

I've been waiting all day to ask:

What does being a Devil Girl mean to you?

- Salvation.

- Salvation?

- A few months ago,

I had nowhere to go.

No one wanted me,

until the Devil Girls.

I now get to dance, choreograph,

be a part of something bigger.

I get to be me again...

But with experiences I can use now

to create bigger things.

- Speaking of experiences...

- People know all about the headlines...

A sex scandal with a holy man.

I'm a home-wrecker.

A heathen.

A whore.

But the truth that everyone leaves out

is that I was in love,

and I got my heart broken,

and when you're heartbroken,

it's like the world is dead.

Scorched like nothing could ever grow there

ever again.

- Do you think it's possible that it could?

London?

Do you think you could love again?

- Yeah.

- Do you always walk around like that?

- I had an interview with "Du Monde" magazine.

- How was that?

- It was tough,

but it showed me something.

I was wrong to push you away.

When I was at my lowest,

I never thought there'd come a time

that I'd feel something again,

anything...

But I did...

with you.

That means something.

- Well, I mean, if it was so easy to give up...

- It wasn't easy,

just like it's not easy being right here right now with you,

hoping you'll give me a second chance.

But here I am.

He took...

too much from me.

I can't let him take this too,

not without a fight.

- You're the first person I felt anything with

after...

But what if we're just rebounds?

- Sometimes...

rebounds are the shots you're supposed to take.

- You wanna take this shot?

- Yeah.

- You scared?

I'm terrified.

- Thank God the AC kicked in when it did,

or we would have burst into flames.

- Water?

Mmm.

Now that we're talking again,

I can tell you the real reason I'm back.

- Oh, here we go. What'd you do now?

Is...that...um...

- It is.

Uh...

will you marry me, Kyle Hart?

- Yes.

- Really? - Uh-huh.

- Wow.

- Uh-huh.

These karats look so good on me.

Um, who am I kidding, all karats look good on me.

Oh, I could swim in 'em.

Being loaded is the best.

- Oh, we're loaded?

- Well, what's yours is mine now.

- No, no, no, I--I'm not loaded, I'm broke.

- Stop playing.

Outside, you said you had money.

- No, no, no, I said, "What if I had money?"

I was being hypothetical, not literal.

I said, like, 13 things to you outside.

- Well, I stopped listening after that.

- I didn't wanna come back empty-handed.

That's why it took me so long.

Another six months, maybe I could've scored a big payday,

but...I couldn't stay away from you a day longer,

so I quit...

with just enough to buy this ring.

All you need is love, huh?

- Mm-hmm.

- Long time, no see.

"Du Monde" is about to unveil

the cover girl in the Playground.

Come with?

And then after, maybe...

dessert?

- Look, I, um--

I think you're amazing, unstoppable,

and talented as hell...

- But?

- But I started something,

and I need to see it through.

- I know this play.

It's for London.

- I--I'm sorry if this--

- Let's not do this.

I'm not that girl.

We had fun.

Now you wanna have fun with someone else.

So, go.

Have fun.

- What the hell did she do to you?

- It's not what she did to me.

It's what I did to her.

And now everything is worse.

- What could you have possibly done

to make this worse?

- Raquel wasn't there the night Olivia died.

I was.

Raquel covered for me.

- Olivia pushed you that hard?

- Derek and Kyle knew.

Eve find out.

She's not gonna stop until she takes us all down.

- When I was sitting in that chair,

I dressed a little better than that.

- Well, you're not sitting in that chair...

I am.

Am I gonna have to call security?

Ah, that won't be necessary.

I'm in town, because...

Eve Vincent found a buyer for a piece of property of mine,

one that would be perfect for another team

to--to move right into,

replacing the Devils.

- If you can't have it, no one can.

- In attempting to broker this deal,

Eve is in direct violation

of League ethics rules.

The minute you inform the League,

they'll handcuff her.

She'll be out of your hair.

- That would blow the deal.

- I'm not taking the deal.

I'm giving you the tool to take down Eve.

And why would you do that?

- When I was with Eve,

I saw a familiar look in her eye,

one I know all too well.

I don't see that in your eyes...

And I don't want to.

Good luck, son.

- The "Du Monde" cover girl will be announced

in just a few minutes.

- Have you seen Kyle?

- I'm sorry I sabotaged your job offer.

It's too easy to be that guy,

and, well, I don't wanna be,

so I pulled some strings

and kissed some major ass and I got it back for you.

- I'm not taking it.

- After what I did,

why would you stay?

- For you.

- I don't want you to resent me.

This is a great opportunity--

- You can never do anything like that again--

go behind my back, keep secrets.

I need to be able to trust my boyfriend.

Did you just call me your boyfriend?

- I'm not being cute, Jude.

My last boyfriend was stage four and didn't tell me.

- He was taken from me without a goodbye.

- Why didn't he tell you?

He didn't think you could handle it?

- I was his happy guy.

- He wanted that for himself.

He wanted that for me.

- Can I have everyone's attention please?

Thank you.

It's been a day for revelations.

Now, this is-- this is just a mockup,

but it is the image we'll feature on our cover.

It truly captures the Devil Girl spirit.

You like it?

- I love it.

No scandal here.

- Your version of the story's better.

I'm glad you told it.

- Thank you.

- Congratulations.

Your focus is paying off.

- Hey.

I got your text. What's wrong? - Eve update.

She's dialing her rampage to ten.

- Not possible. I snapped her dial off.

- What? How?

- With a little help...

from Oscar.

- Why would he do that? - For me.

- Warren...

Warren!

I was doing what we both want.

You--you do have a choice.

- Does that offer still stand?

- Come in.

- Next time on "Hit the Floor"...

- I need dirt on someone.

- I'll do this for you,

but you have to do something for me.

- What do you want me to do?

- It involves Jude Kinkade and Derek Roman.

- Somebody would be a fool to admit to that.

- Somebody would be a fool to lie.

- You ready? - I am, yeah.

Kyle? Not so sure.

- I'm never gonna have sex with another man again.

- Glad we made a decision?

- We should've done it sooner.

- Jamie! Smile for the camera! - Over here, Jamie!

Over here! Over here!
