"Previously on MAKE IT OR BREAK IT" "Carter, it's beautiful." "I've invited Denver to an Invitational here," "And they have accepted." "It's not like we can pick up and move." "You've already" "Taken a big enough pay break to come here." "You do your routine like we practiced." "I can land the full in back out." "We play it safe." "I promise it'll never happen again," "Especially at Nationals." "I know." "Because you're not going to Nationals." " Hey." " Hi, Emily." " You guys seen Sasha?" " Yeah." "He's in his office." "Wonder what kind of mood he's in today." "Oh, don't worry." "I'm sure he's completely forgotten" "That your tragic dismount cost us the Invitational." " Lauren." " What?" "It did." "And what about your fall?" "I slipped." "You choked." "Big difference." "I'd be embarrassed to show my face." "Sasha told her she wasn't ready for that move" "And she deliberately disobeyed him." "But she's still part of The Rock." "We're supposed to support each other." "The only Rock she belongs in is" "The one she crawled out from under." "New necklace?" "Yeah, new for me." "It's an heirloom." "Nice." "My dad got me one of these once." "Except it had a big diamond and it was real gold." "Well, I love it." "It's from Carter." "It belonged to his mother." "She told him to give it to the girl" "He wanted to be with forever." "Wow!" "That's big." "I'm so happy for you." "Your neck might not turn green." "Know what I see when I look out there?" "Knowing you, dollar signs." "I was going to say the next Olympic gold medalist." "Emphasis on gold." "I'm serious, while you're here, no agenting." "Keep your hands off the girls." "Agreed." "So long as you tell me where I can put my hands?" "But you've asked for time off, right?" "Remind me again." "Time off for what?" "Nationals." "Boston." "How could you forget?" "It's only two weeks away." "Nationals, I'm pretty sure" "This is the first I'm hearing about it." "Is this a big deal?" "Dad, I'm serious." "I know." "You always are." "Relax." "It's taken care of." "I wouldn't miss it for the world." "You know that." "Payson?" "A minute?" " I'll see you later." " OK." "Girls, I'd like you to meet Ms. Martin." "Call me M.J." "Hi, I'm Payson." "I know who you are, Payson" "And you, Lauren and you, too, Kaylie." "Sasha's told me all about..." "Um..." "Call me Coach Belov." "Right." "In addition to being one of the top sports agents" "In the country, Ms. Martin is also a consultant" "For the American Gymnastic Federation." "They've asked her to come here and shoot some...s" " Sizzle pieces." " Right." "Up-close-and-personal packages for the major" "Sports networks and the Internet featuring" "The girls considered likely to make the National Team." "I've recommended the three of you." "I want you to give Ms. Martin your full cooperation." "This is good for The Rock and could be good for you." "For the next few days," "We'll follow you around, ask a few questions." "But, for the most part," "We'll try to stay out of your way." "I was a ranked tennis player myself." "I know that the last thing" "You need right now are distractions." "Between parents and boyfriends," "I've been there." "Don't tell Coach Belov." "You need to stay focused." "But you also need to understand that" "From this point on," "You're going to be in the spotlight." "Let me tell you something," "You better get used to it." "Kmetko!" "Excuse me." "Call me if you have any questions" "About the shoot or anything." "You'd think seriously about having someone" "Dedicated to looking out for your best interests." "Mind telling me what you're doing?" " Training?" " Was I not clear?" "Yes." "You said I wasn't going to Nationals." "Not the point." "I came to train athletes with the qualities" "Required to compete at the highest level." "Based on your recent performance," "I've decided you are not one of those athletes." "There is no longer a place for you here." "Get your things and go, now." "Can't I just..." "Goodbye, Emily." " I don't believe it." " He threw her out." "Looks like it's gonna be the three of us again." "One-two-three, three-two-one." "Order has been restored." "MAKE IT OR BREAK IT S01E07" "formatted by schemer" "If dough could scream," "What do you think it would sound like?" "Can't speak for all dough." "OK." "That dough?" "I don't know." "Like an egotistical ass with an English accent." "That's a relief." "'Cause I thought it might sound like me." "No." "We're cool." "Besides, I see you more as a green pepper." "Thought you trained during the day." "Not anymore." "Maybe you should go back to the dough." "Why not?" "He kicked me out." "I'm not at The Rock anymore." "Are you serious?" "The English ass?" "Why'd he do that?" "He told me not to do this dismount" "And I did it anyway." "And I blew it." "That's it?" "So now what?" "I have to prove to him that I belong there." "Right, so, how do you do that?" "I kick ass on that dismount." "And that means practice." "Which is gonna cost money" "Cause I can't get into The Rock to train." "What about at night?" "It's locked at night." "So, this is where you work." "Mmmm... pizza." "I'd be as big as a house" "If I worked here." "What are you doing here?" "We heard what Sasha said." "Are you OK?" "Yeah, the whole gym heard." "That was so not cool." "I'm fine." "Thanks." "So, what are you gonna do?" "Keep training." "Convince Sasha I belong there." "I see Band Boy works here?" "That's convenient." "He's cute." "What's up with you two?" "Nothing's up." "We just work together, that's all." "Do they even clean this place?" "Dad?" "I was going to tell you." "When?" "When you lost your job?" "No?" "How about when you started to look for a new job?" "Nope, that was a few weeks ago." "How about when you started delivering beer?" "When I had some good news." "I can't believe you put on a suit every day and pretended..." "You shouldn't be eavesdropping." "I've never heard them this angry before." "Do you know how stupid I feel that I didn't pick up on it?" "How could I not notice something so different?" "When do you have time to notice anything?" "You're so busy at The Rock with your job." "At least I have a job." "I'm sorry, Mark." "I didn't mean to say that." "Maybe it wasn't such a good idea to come here." "You know why we came here." "To help our kids achieve their dreams." "How can that ever, ever be a mistake?" "I know." "I know, Mark." "Dreams are great," "But we have to eat." "And I don't like what it's doing to us." "This is all your fault." "What am I gonna do?" "It's gone." "I can't find my necklace anywhere!" "I'm sorry." "What necklace are we talking about?" "The one Carter gave me." "The heirloom." "I could have sworn I put it in my bag." "You saw me, didn't you?" "I saw you showing it off," "But no, I didn't see you put it in your bag." "I did!" "OK, well, I'm sure you just dropped it." "Did you check the gym, or in your car?" "I've looked everywhere!" "What if Carter notices I'm not wearing it?" "Relax." "Guys don't notice stuff like that." "I'll help you look in the morning." "Don't worry." "We'll find it." "All right, Lauren, thanks." "I'll see you tomorrow." "Knock, knock." "Salmon, broccoli, and beets." "You know, we could actually" "Sit and eat at a table together." "That'd be great for my acid reflux." "You're not really spending the night, are you?" "Yeah." "Your father asked me to stay while he's out of town." "I don't need a baby-sitter." "I don't need a step-mother." "And I certainly don't need somebody" "Creeping me out by playing house." "That's pretty." "Where'd you get it?" "You don't pick out all my jewelry." "Well, whoever gave it to you has very good taste." "It's beautiful." "This is a bad idea." "A bad, bad idea." "If by bad you mean kick-ass brilliant, you're welcome." "We could get arrested." "No risk, no reward." "Worst case, you're the first in your family" "To do hard time." "Third, actually." "The more I learn about you, Kmetko," "The more I find intriguing." "Let's go." "You can actually do that?" "Pick a lock?" "Some people grow up learning cartwheels and back flips." "This is what I learned." "Your dad must be very proud." "Who do you think taught me?" "Stop screwing around." "I love this floor." "Bounce with me." "I'm here to practice." "Remember?" "This is wild." "What's under here?" "It feels like springs." "Springs." "Seriously?" "And that's not cheating?" "No, it's..." "Would you please stop before someone..." "Bounce with me." "If I do that, then will you let me practice?" "You can do whatever you want." "This is so stupid." "I know." "Whoa!" "So that's how it's gonna be, huh?" "Was that a dismount you're working on?" "Look, you don't have o stay if you don't want to." "I want to." "It's called a full-in-back-out." "Translation?" "Two somersaults with a full twist." "You say that like it's not a big deal." "Well, if I'm meant to be here it shouldn't be." "So who has the edge?" "In what?" "Earning potential?" "In Nationals." "I don't want to find myself in the editing room" "With no footage on the winner." "Help me cover my ass." "I'd love to." "Unfortunately, it's not that simple." "Kaylie, for instance, is a total winning performer," "But I wonder if she's got the fire in the belly." "Lauren, on the other hand, is all fire, but I wonder if she can channel it to succeed at this level." "And Payson, well, there's nothing stopping Payson." "What about the girl you tossed out?" "Emily?" "Kmetko, yeah." "Maybe more raw talent than all of them." "Unfortunately, she's done for herself so long," "I wonder if she can listen to anyone else." "You're up to something, aren't you?" "You're coming to the salon with me today." "I'm thinking mani-pedi, maybe a massage." "You deserve a little pampering." "I don't have time." "Honey, I thought you had buckets of time." "You know what I mean." "Until Sasha cools down, this whole thing blows over." "Sasha is not gonna cool off and" "This whole thing will not blow over" " Unless I do something." " Oh, honey, sure it is." "You know how men are:" "They need to beat on their chests," "Do their Tarzan yell, and let you know" "They're king of the jungle." "It makes them feel better." "And then later, usually at night," "They realize that they need us..." "Sorry." "That took a wrong turn somewhere." " Goodbye, mom." " Where are you going?" "Out." "Poor thing." "She is so upset!" "I wish Sasha would just cave in already." "Mom, what are you thinking?" "I am thinking that every Tarzan needs a Jane." "Not the red suit, mom." "This is a really bad idea." "So, what does it look like?" "It's got a gold pendant and blue stones on it." "Thanks for helping me, Pay." "This is making me sick." "So, uh, what's up with your dad, huh?" "He, um, got laid off." "And he lied to your mom?" "That doesn't sound like your parents." "Sounds a lot like mine, though." "Is something up?" "Nah. no, you know." "just, uh, the usual." " Find it?" " No." "And Carter already" "Noticed I wasn't wearing it." "Did you tell him you lost it?" "I told him I left it at home." "I said I didn't want anything to" "It while I was working out." "Nice." "Sometimes I wish I could lie like that." "Lo, I had to." "If not, the truth would kill him." "Totally." "It's just sad" "When a relationship has to be based off lies." "I'm not judging." "I'm just saying." "Oh, I was talking to M.J. How cool is her job?" "She gets to jet-set all over the world," "She meets all these people:" "Venus Williams, Michael Phelps." "My dad told me her agency just signed Kelly Parker." "She'll make millions just for showing up at nationals." "Really?" " Oh, I found it!" " Where is it?" "Oh." "False alarm." "Just a bottle cap." "Emily's sorry." "Very sorry." "And she sent you to tell me that?" "Oh, no." "She would die if she knew I was here." "But she's sorry." "And she'll never do it again." "I'm afraid it's not that simple." "Well, you know, it could be." "You could just tell me what she needs to do." "She, uh, she needs to know that I'm her coach." "Oh, she does." "In fact, you give her the trots." "Could you please not tell her I said that." "Fear isn't the same as obedience." "Well, obedience is difficult for Emily." "So maybe you just tell me what I can do to..." "Mrs. Kmetko." "I'm very busy right now," "Um, training the other girls." "But, um, for now, with regards to Emily," "I've actually said all I wanted to say." "So, um, thank you, and, uh," "Good day." "You know it's highly inappropriate" "Getting involved with gym moms." "Yhat's a little ironic," " Coming from you, isn't it?" " How so?" "There are those that consider what" "We enjoyed to be "inappropriate"." " Jealous?" " The sports manager and the young gymnast." " Uh, you weren't that young." " Innocent, naive..." "Ok, a little young, never naive." "Your reputation was legendary." "That was just bluff and bravado" "To cover my severe shyness," "Which you took full advantage of." " How did you ever get over me?" " Who says I did?" " My timing sucks." " Not necessarily." "No." "I'm late for an appointment." "Gotta go." "And besides, you're too old for me." "M.J." "Payson." "What is it?" "I was wondering..." "I want you to be my agent." "Really?" "You've thought about this?" "You're ready to give up your amateur status?" "I've worked really hard." "I'm going to win nationals and" "I want to make the most of it." "For my family." "Can you help me?" "Actually, I've already made a few calls." "Endorsements, print work," "Personal appearance..." "It's all there." "A colleague of mine signed Kelly Parker." "I know you're the one who can beat her," "And I know I can get you even more money." "Ok." "I want to do it." "You can keep that, discuss it with your parents if you like." "No." "They want this as much as I do." "You made a good choice, Payson Keeler." "We have a deal." " Hi, Kaylie." " Hi." "Hey, is everything OK?" "Yeah." "Yeah, I'm..." "I'm fine." "I, uh, I lost a necklace." "And it meant a lot to me." "It was a gift." "I'm so sorry." "Can I help you look for it?" "No." "I mean, I've just..." "I've looked everywhere for it already." "Well, at least I can keep an eye out for it." "What does it look like?" "Uh, it's a gold pendant, blue stones." "Sounds beautiful." "I'm sure it's going to turn up somewhere." "Thanks." "I have some good news." "They can't pay me what they used to," " But I can get my old job back." " That's great!" "They were stupid to let you go in the first place." "No." "Not my job here." "My old job in Minnesota." "Minnesota?" "We're going back to Minnesota?" "Wait till I tell Jenny and Ashira." "But, dad, we can't leave." "What about Nationals and Rock?" " I need to be here." " It's not all about you." "Take it easy." "Nobody's moving." "I'm gonna be commuting." " No!" " It's a bear of a commute..." " Dad, that's not a commute." " No." "I don't want you to go." " Sweetheart..." " He's not." "No one's going anywhere." "I met with M.J." "She's a consultant for American Gymnastics." " And a sports agent." " She's going to represent me." "You should see what she already has planned." " And a barracuda." " Endorsements, appearances..." "There'll be more than enough money to support all of us." "And if I do well at Nationals, you won't have to work at all." "You just need to say yes." "No." " No?" " No agents." "No managers." "Payson, you know how we feel about this." "We don't know what's gonna happen in the future." "What if we can't pay for college when the time comes?" "You will not be eligible for a scholarship..." "I know the future." "I'm going to go to Nationals and beat Kelly Parker." "Then I'm going to the Olympics where I'm going to win gold" "And write my own ticket." "M.J. believes in me!" "I just wish you guys believed in me too." "Payson." "Wait a minute." "Have you missed one yet tonight?" "No." "It's feeling good." "It's feeling really good." "I think I'm gonna kick it up a notch," "Increase the difficulty with a release move." "If that won't convince Sasha I belong here..." "Awesome." "What's a release move?" "It comes before the dismount." "I let go of the bar and then I catch it again." " So... that's hard?" " Kinda." "See, in between the releasing and the catching part," "I have to do a somersault in the pike position." "And to do that, I have to flip my hands to change the grip." "It's called a Jaeger." "So Jaeger me." " You OK?" "!" " Damn it!" "I need more height, butthe timing on my release is off." " I need you to help me." " Me help you?" "Watch for my grip change." "When my feet are pointed at that light I need to let go." "When you see my feet point at that light, yell "now."" ""Now." I can do that." "What's the worst that can happen?" "I..." "I break my neck." "Now!" "Yes!" "That was amazing!" "I've never seen anything like that before!" "I've never seen anyone like you before." "So now what?" "More practice." "No, no." "You're still rushing." "I said fluid, not faster." "They have completely different meanings." "Do we need to take a break" "So you can get a dictionary and look them up?" " No." "I get it." " Then show me." "Do it again." "Did he tell her she could come back?" "That would be a "no."" "Hey, let's make sure we get this." "Wow." "I see the dog has learned a new trick." "I deserve a shot at Nationals." "Afraid I'm out of little biscuits." "You'll have to go without a treat." "Sorry." "I'm not leaving." "I'm as good as everyone else here." "You saw what I just did." " Poor delusional thing." " Shh!" "You have no right to take this away from me!" "You're no good to me, Emily." "You're like a dog that won't stay." "Un-coachable because you refuse to listen." "You've been the boss of you for such a long time, Emily," "But you haven't shown me" "You'll let somebody else take that job." "So, please, stop embarrassing yourself." "Go home and get on with your life." "What was that all about?" "What are you looking at?" "Get back to work!" "Lauren, beam!" "Ready, Lauren?" " What are you doing?" " I'm taking you home." " Your father's still..." " That's my necklace you're wearing." "Oh!" "Oh, I didn't think you'd mind." "You and your friends share jewelry all the time, right?" " We do not share jewelry." " Oh." "I'm pretty sure you do." "You have so many nice things, I couldn't decide." "So which one do you think is best, the rings Or this one?" "Maybe I should get a second opinion." " Is Kaylie still...?" " The rings." "Yeah, I thought so, too." "Maybe you could "loan" that one to somebody else?" "Lauren, you have to earn your place in your friends' lives, just like you earn your place in gymnastics." "You don't just get a spot." "You have to earn your place" "By the little things you do every day." "Look, I know you're mad at me, but I'm trying to earn my place, too, in your life." "And it isn't always going to be by being your pal." "I'll be waiting in the car." "I wish Payson understood that we moved here because we believe in her." "Let me ask you something." "Is letting Payson take the sponsorship money," " Is that the worst thing?" " No." "But this is about more than" "Money and college scholarships." "You want Payson to take on that burden," "Let her feel responsible for the family?" " No." " Agreed." "So... the burden is going to be on you to take care of them on your own." "No, the burden's gonna fall on you" "For being apart from them." "And apart from you." " I'm so sorry I let you down." " Oh, honey." "Thought I might find you here." "You always did love playgrounds." "Good thing." ""Teeter-totter day care." Isn't that what you used to call it?" "I never left you alone." "Really." "The salon where I worked was" "Right across the street." "Big window." "I always had an eye on you." "I still do." "So I went by the gym." "Heard you put on quite a little show." "I'm so stupid." "I thought I could make him want me." "You will, honey." "I know you will." "Just give it some time." "Do you remember that" "Wonder Woman punching bag you used to have?" "No matter how hard you hit it," "She just kept popping right back up?" "We Kmetkos are like that, too..." "You know..." "What?" "Did I say something?" "Where do you get all of this stuff?" "I never had a Wonder Woman punching bag." "I don't even know what that is." "Honey, are you sure?" "I could have sworn..." "And enough with the" ""We are the mighty, mighty Kmetko" speeches." "Because you know what," "There is nothing mighty about us." " Speak for yourself." " I am." "I'm tired of fighting for everything." "I just..." "I just want to quit." "Can't you just let me do that?" "Can't you just let me quit, just this once?" "You're not a quitter, Emily." "You never have been." "Fine." "If that's what you want to do, quit." "I guess there's nothing keeping us here." "I think I'll call my friend Tahnee Bodansky." "You remember Tahnee?" "Reno, traffic school, dirty blonde hair." "OK, yeah." "Yeah." "She opened up a nail salon in Las Vegas," "Asked me to come work with her." "And I said no, that we couldn't leave Boulder." "But I guess we can now." "You want us to move to Vegas?" "It's an option, Emily." "I mean, we have to look at all of our options, right?" "No, I don't think it's a good idea, but if you want to quit..." "Maybe when you finish high school," "You could come and work with me." "You know?" "Could be fun." "We'd be together all the time." "I mean, I know it's not the Olympics, but it could be fun." "Yeah." "I have to go." "I'll see you at home." "We are the mighty, mighty Kmetkos, Emily." "I've only had one dream my entire life..." "That was to go to the Olympics." "If you take that away from me, I don't know who I am." "Just give me a chance." "I'll be the best you've ever coached." "I'll do anything you say, no questions." "Please." "Words are cheap, Emily." "You can talk all you want, but you haven't listened." "It wasn't about whether or not you could do the move." "It was about whether you could listen to me." "And clearly you haven't." "Then tell me what to do!" "Coach me!" "Let me show you that I can listen." "Please!" "My keys." "We're not letting your little Dickensian friend" "Break us in tonight." "Back handspring." "Switch leap." "Split three-quarter." "Now fall, backwards." "I didn't say look, I said fall." "Damn it, Emily, if you can't trust me to catch you," "How can you trust me to coach you?" "I don't understand..." "I don't want questions, I want obedience." "You couldn't follow my simple instructions at the Invitational, and you're not following them now." "Do it!" " I can't!" " Why?" "Why not?" "Why can't you just surrender right here, right now?" "Because I've tried that and it doesn't work!" ""Just surrender"?" "Do you even know what you're asking me to do?" "I know what you're thinking." "That I'm too headstrong and too in control." "But do you know what my life would be like" "If I wasn't in control?" "Huh?" "Do you?" "I am the only person that I can trust." "Emily." "Emily." "Emily." "It's OK." "It's OK." "It's OK." "I'm sorry." "I want to do it, I really do." "It's OK." "You are an exceptional woman, Emily." "And I'm not asking you to give up on your own power." "I'm just asking you to let me in, let me guide you." "No." "I've tried that." "You're just gonna leave us, like everyone else." "Like who?" "Like who else?" "My dad." "Brian's dad." "And Marty." "And now you." "Unless you know something I don't know" "I'm not going anywhere." "Is that what you told the last team you deserted?" "I promise I will never disappear again." "You have my word on that." "Hey, you have an amazing talent" "Inside of you, Emily Kmetko," "But you won't be able to find it on your own." "I know that." "I know that I need you." "I need you more than" "I've ever needed anyone in my whole life." "That's a start." "Be back here 5:00am tomorrow, sharp." "No promises." "We'll take it from there, OK?" "Wait!" "Catch me." "I'm going now." "You've known what you've wanted to do," "Why you were put here, since you were five years old." "You were born to be an Olympic champion." "It is your purpose, it is your joy." "It took your old man a little longer than his fifth birthday" "To figure out what he was meant to do with his life." "But I'm as certain of my purpose as you are." "I was put here to take care of my family," "To give mother, Becca, and you the things you need." "That is my calling." "My joy." "I believe in you." "Payson, I do." "I know you're going all the way." "I'm asking you to believe in me." "I'll call you tomorrow." " How's Payson?" " Just quiet." "You take care of your sister and your mother." "I'll call you every day." "Daddy!" "Thank you." "For what?" "Everything." "Everything you're doing for me." "I'll make you proud, Dad." "I promise." "You already have." "A word." "In my office." "I will thank you to never again" "Discuss my underage daughter's future without her parents present." "She assured me that she had your consent." "As manager of this gym," "If I see you talking to any of those girls without their parents there, I will have you escorted out." "Understand me?" "Good." "Surprise!" "Oh, my God, where was it?" "Under one of the mats." "You're lucky I found it." "Someone else probably would have kept it." "Help, please." " Sure." " Thank you, Lo." "You're such a good friend." "No." "Seriously." "I don't know how I'd go through" "Half of this stuff in my life without you." "Boyfriends are great, but friends..." "I gotta show Carter!" "Emily... if you have a minute," "I'd love to get started on your video profile." "Get you on camera for a few questions." "I should probably be training." "The..." "What did you call them again?" " Video profile?" " Right." "I think those are just for the girls" "Who are going to Nationals." "I know." "And Coach Belov seems to think you're one of them." "Hey." "Someone took your name off the day schedule." "Yeah." "I did." "I'm going to Nationals!" "Come on, bounce with me." "Oh, I'm so proud of you." "You know..." "I couldn't have done it without you." "No." "It's all you." "Seriously, you don't..." "You don't need me." "What are you afraid of?" "Nothing." "You?" "Everything."
