Previously on Make It or Break It...
This next song, Finally Free,
was written with a friend of mine.
And I'm hoping she's gonna sing it with me.
She was lying to everyone.
Even to herself... and so am I.
And I don't want to die.
Dallas cancelled. The good news...
...I pulled some strings and found another club.
Pinewood? They're one of the worst ranked teams in the country.
The Hungary Invitational is in 2 weeks,
and we need to see how our routines hold up
in serious competition.
We need a coach, a real coach.
Mom? I still need to pack.
I'm just checking these boarding passes...
Denver, London, London, Budapest...
Sasha's in Romania?
Ah, yes.
We're sending him some papers.
Well, Is he coming back?
Release papers.
His contract is through World and we need him to sign those
before we can validate Darby's contract.
So we could still get rid of her?
Payson.
We lost to the worst club team in the country.
Darby's a nice girl but she's just not the coach we need.
Unfortunately she's the coach we have.
Get the lights, would ya'?
Everyone is going to be watching you in Hungary
and if it looks like you can't control our girls,
the NGO will take action.
I know how it works. I'm not a child.
Well then stop acting like one and start acting like a coach.
You're not here to win a popularity contest.
And you're not the only one they'll be judging.
After the Pinewood debacle, my sources tell me
they are seriously questioning whether The Rock girls
really belong on the World Team.
Is that true?
You're damn right it's true.
I asked you girls to take the Pinewood meet seriously
but you didn't listen to me.
So from now on, I'm not asking. I'm telling.
I will see you at the airport at 10 a.m.
And if any one of you is late, you'll all have hell to pay.
Got it?
Emily! Hurry up, we have to go!
Coming.
What are you doing here?
What if someone from the NGO is watching?
So, why haven't you returned any of my calls?
We're on our way to the airport.
Five minutes, Mrs. Kmetko, please? Just give us five minutes.
Fine, five minutes, and then I'm honking the horn.
Talk to me, Emily.
Are you shutting me out because you're nervous about the Meet?
Or is something else happening here?
What's going on between you and Kaylie?
And don't say nothing.
But nothing is going on.
I mean Kaylie's going through a tough time.
She needed a friend.
I'm her friend. She could have come to me.
Emily.
Is she your muse now?
What? We had sex, you got what you wanted
and now you're on to the next girl in crisis?
Emily, stop it.
I love... you.
I love you, you gotta trust me.
I can't trust you.
So, what are you saying?
I can't have you messing with my head.
We're done.
For real.
Now, remember,
it's for emergency uses only.
Thanks, Daddy.
Do you think that's wise?
Giving her a credit card with a twenty thousand dollar limit?
Where's Emily?
Woo-hoo! Here we are!
Sorry. Traffic.
OK. Bye-bye.
Now that you're all here,
let me tell you things are going to change.
I tried being your friend, tried respecting you as professionals,
- Oh, Darbs... - It's Coach Conrad.
I am no longer your friend, I am your coach.
From now I will be watching your every move and you will do as I say.
Is that clear?
I don't know how much more I can take of Coach Conrad.
You won't have to much longer.

== sync, corrected by elderman ==
I know I have a problem.
And I know if I don't do something, I'll die.
And I don't want to die.
Good.
That was an honest expression of your feelings, Kaylie.
I'm getting there.
And, I've been writing everything down like you suggested.
So, Let me ask you this.
Why do you think you stopped eating?
To beat Genji Cho.
Is that the only reason?
What other reason could there be?
You tell me.
I want you to ask yourself this week...
..."When did I stop eating? And, why?"
And whatever pops into your head...
...a word, a phrase, an image...
just put it down.
Hey.
You okay?
I'm great.
Everything is just perfect with me.
What are you busy working on?
I'm going to get Sasha and bring him back to The Rock.
You don't even know where he lives.
Wrong, masked stranger.
He's in Snagov, Romania; just outside of Bucharest.
Unfortunately, we're going to Budapest. Hungary.
With a layover at Heathrow.
Check this out.
A flight from London to Bucharest.
It leaves fifteen minutes before our connecting flight to Budapest.
I am going to be on that flight.
Right. Not without a ticket.
Oh, hey, do you know somebody with a gold card that I could use?
As if.
Look. We're in trouble. All of us.
We just got our asses handed to us by Pinewood.
Pinewood.
The NGO is using this meet to take another look at us three.
And without Sasha,
there is a definite chance that none of us are going to Worlds.
Where on earth did you get that idea?
Your dad.
That's what he told Darby.
Well, he didn't tell me.
Look, Payson, I know you're lovesick over your boyfriend,
but this is crazy.
No, it's not.
Sasha is the only person left that believes in me.
I need him and I want to go too.
- Forget it. - No way.
Why not?
Because you're already in big trouble with the NGO.
And I'll be in a lot more trouble if we don't
get Sasha back and I don't go to Worlds.
Okay. Because you two will screw this up without me...
- ...three tickets. - Yes!
How are we going to get away from Summer and Darby?
Oh, I'm sure we can figure something out.
Okay, Bucharest, Concourse B, Gate 17. It's now boarding.
Where is Lauren?
He did you get the tickets?
Yes and they cost a bloody fortune. I am so dead.
Will Summer Van Horn please come to the white courtesy phone.
One down...
One to ditch.
Excuse me, Coach Conrad, we're going to use the restroom, okay?
Okay, but hurry. Our flight should be boarding soon.
We will.
You know, wait. I need to go too. I'll go with you guys.
We have five minutes till they close the gate.
Where is Concourse B?
It's up a level. Come on, this way.
Well, if it isn't Emily Kmetko and her chain gang.
Kelly Parker.
What are you doing here?
The NGO called me while I was in Houston doing rehab on my ankle.
They asked me to come to Budapest as a replacement.
So, surprise!
You didn't even qualify for the World Team.
Yeah, I guess they're having doubts about Kaylie coming back from her injury.
If anyone's really buying that.
Isn't the gate for Budapest down on Concourse A?
Have you seen the girls?
No. I was answering a page.
At least I thought I was. No one was there.
Why? Aren't they with you?
Well, they were. I mean, I thought they were.
Well, if they're not with you, then where are they?
I know where they are.
Yeah, I just saw them. They were headed to Concourse B.
And they were in a big hurry.
No turning back now.
I am so sorry, Kim.
I'm taking the next flight to Romania.
I'll find the girls. I promise.
Try not to worry. Okay.
You know what? They are doing this to make me look bad.
And that is exactly what I'm going to tell the NGO!
Darby. Shut up. You are not telling the NGO anything,
except that the girls missed their flight
but will be in Budapest in time for registration tonight.
Do you understand?
Right.
Okay.
But if they're not there I am not taking the fall for this.
They'll be there.
They have to be there.
How much trouble do you think we're in?
On a scale of one to ten?
Five thousand.
Okay, here's the plan.
We land in Bucharest at 10 a.m.
And it takes one hour to get from the airport to Snagov
where Sasha lives.
The last train from Snagov to Budapest leaves at 4 p.m.,
which means, once we find Sasha
we've only got two hours to convince him to come back to The Rock.
Well that makes me feel much better.
What is that?
An energy drink. I think. I can't read the label.
Are you crazy?
Do you have any idea how many energy drinks
have banned substances in them.
I mean, what if something illegal comes up in your urine test after the meet?
I wasn't thinking. I only had a few sips.
You haven't been thinking at all lately.
You're totally unfocused because you can't stop thinking about Damon.
Well, I guess I'm going to have to... because we broke up.
What?
We broke up. For real. For good.
I'm sorry, Emily.
Look at the bright side.
At least you never slept with him.
Oh my god! You did.
You finally slept with him?
Are you okay?
I don't know. But I broke up with him.
Why?
Because I think there's something going on between him and Kaylie.
No way.
I know Kaylie. And one thing she'd never, ever do,
is steal your boyfriend.
She's right.
Do you think I made a terrible mistake?
Oh, hey.
I didn't know you were going to come so early. I was just hiding from my mom.
I'll get out of your hair.
Oh, It's okay. You can stay.
Is everything okay?
Emily broke up with me.
What?
And she thinks that I'm in the way of everything that she wants in life.
You know, it's like, one minute she needs me
and then the next, I'm the problem.
Or at least she tries to make me the problem.
She tried to suggest there was something between you and me
because we sang together.
Sorry.
No. I mean it's in her head.
Is gymnastics really that intense?
That you can't trust anyone but yourself?
Gymnastics is dangerous.
For some people, any distraction at all can have serious consequences.
And I get that.
Even without gymnastics,
would she still find some reason to push me away?
Is that just who she is?
Is that just her issue?
Maybe it's not the sport at all.
I don't know.
But I know that you love Emily.
Are you willing to give that up?
I think I will come back later.
Are you sure this is the right address?
Maybe I transposed a number.
Oh, hi, excuse me, do you speak English?
What? You're not fluent in Romanian?
Does Sasha Belov live here?
No. No Sasha Belov.
Maybe he's staying with somebody else. He's tall, got the blond hair.
And oh so handsome.
No live here.
I know everyone lives here.
I'm sorry.
Well, that's just great.
We risked suspension and expulsion for a wild goose chase
through the Romanian countryside.
Nice going Payson!
So, what do we do now?
Looks like a couple of hours until the next train to Budapest leaves.
I can't believe this.
You can't believe this?
I just wasted over a thousand dollars of my dad's money.
How many different kinds of borscht can there be?
That depends. Do you like it with or without meat?
Sasha?
What are you doing here?
I work here.
The better question is, what are you doing here?
You're supposed to be in Budapest at the East Euro Meet.
We took a detour. To come get you and bring you home.
We need you, Sasha.
And, you're in breach of your contract.
Payson, your mother called me.
You ditched your coach, you've worried your families,
And now, before you let your teammates down,
you're getting your asses back to Hungary ASAP.
We're not leaving here without you.
Then you're going to be here a very long time
because I'm not coming back.
Well, this was a great plan.
Any more brilliant ideas?
He's testing us; we just have to wait him out.
Till when? Till he says 'no' again?
So, what's it like being a bartender?
What's it like losing to Pinewood?
He knows we lost to Pinewood!
So?
So, he's following our gymnastics.
Why would he do that if he wasn't coming back?
Why would he want to come back after we lost to Pinewood?
Let me try to talk to him.
Remember when you had me fall backwards off the beam and you caught me?
A trust exercise. Yeah.
You said I could trust you.
You promised me that you'd never leave.
I'm sorry, Emily. I don't have the answers you're looking for.
You're better off finding a coach who does.
Well, what if there isn't one?
What if I'm not good enough?
With or without me, only you can answer that.
What's going to happen?
Emily's already on thin ice. And this could really crack it.
Don't worry. She won't be singled out.
He's right. The girls are in this together.
Yeah, but Emily was the only one forced to sign the Code of Conduct with the NGO.
If this incident reflects poorly on anyone, it'll be Darby.
They disappeared on her watch.
Let's not forget Summer.
This is ridiculous.
He either wants to come with us, or he doesn't.
But I'm not going to miss registration, be disqualified,
and risk getting kicked off the World Team for some mind game.
Look. Is Summer part of the reason why you left?
Because you don't have to worry about her.
She's back together with my dad and totally over you.
So if you come back, it's only for the gymnastics. That's it.
I'm not coming back.
Well?
I tried. We should go.
You go.
Both of you. Emily, you've gotta think about yourself.
You're violating your contract.
What about you?
C'mon, Pay.
I'm staying.
I'll risk missing this meet if I have to.
But I won't risk Worlds without Sasha.
He won't let me go back to Hungary alone.
I mean it, go.
Okay, but take my credit card.
Hire a car if you need to, just get back in time for the Meet
or there will be no Worlds to worry about.
Thank you.
Wow. This is intense.
You felt all this pressure to win, and then when you did,
you freaked out.
Part of the reason I couldn't talk about this is was because
I felt so guilty.
What in the world do I have to bitch about?
I didn't say that.
You didn't have to.
It's how everyone sees me.
A rich girl. The pretty girl.
I should have it all, right?
But I never felt that way.
Not inside.
Inside I had no idea who I was.
So I just focused on winning.
I thought, if I could win a major tournament,
then maybe I'd feel like that
super fabulous girl that everybody thought I was.
And then I won Nationals.
But you didn't feel any different.
That's when I stopped eating.
I thought a big title would
fix everything I was feeling inside.
It only made things worse.
Sorry, this is probably more than you wanted to know.
But, I just, I wanted to share this with you because,
it was something that you said,
about Emily, actually, that made me realize
gymnastics isn't the problem, I am.
I would have these issues no matter what I do.
Because it's who I am.
And Emily is who she is.
I just realized something too.
I gotta' let her go.
Even for her sake, as much as mine.
Payson!
Where are Lauren and Emily?
They already left.
They took a train to Budapest.
And I am not leaving without Sasha.
Honestly, I don't know who's more stubborn,
you or him.
One of the hardest lessons you'll learn at your age,
is that you can't always get what you want.
What am I saying, at any age.
He's not coming back.
And there is nothing you can say or do to change his mind.
I know that hurts.
But, it's time to let go.
And I'm not leaving here without you.
When you gave this to me to hold,
it represented something special.
Not just athletic triumph,
but everything I believed that you stood for:
courage, strength, kindness, perseverance...
...and never, ever giving up.
Now, when I look at it,
all I can see is a quitter.
You quit on me. You quit on The Rock.
You quit on everybody.
So, here.
I don't want it anymore.
You have to understand that she's angry and she's hurt.
Yeah, I know.
What about you?
Are you angry at me too?
I was. But I'm okay now.
I understand why you felt like you had to leave.
I know that was about the girls, and had nothing to do with us.
Because you thought you'd let the girls down,
you thought your presence was harming them.
Thank you.
I said I understand.
I didn't say, I agree.
All any of us can ask of ourselves is that
we do the best we can with what we've been given.
Being here. Doing this.
It's not your best.
You know it.
Just calm down, it doesn't help to panic...
Deep breaths... you're doing everything you can...
It'll all work out. Good-bye.
You first.
That was Summer.
She and Payson had to rent a car.
They got lost, but Summer thinks she's figured out where they are.
Well, there's more good news. I was talking to Darby.
Lauren and Emily made it back.
Thank God.
This is all my fault.
I should have seen this coming.
How?
How could you have known?
It's Payson.
Once she discovered where Sasha was...
Sometimes she just can't let it go.
You know, it's funny.
Our daughters are different in so many ways.
But when it comes to going after things they want,
they are amazingly similar.
Willful?
Bullheaded.
Well, the sport breeds that into them.
It does but...
Look I know Lauren crosses the line.
And... I'm sorry.
Are you having a viewing party tomorrow to watch the Meet?
No.
Really, I'm not.
Wanna come watch it here?
Yeah. That sounds nice.
For team registration,
please check-in at the registration table.
Payson! You made it!
What about Sasha?
Sasha's not coming.
Payson! Get over here and sign in.
What's up?
I have something for you.
You wrote me a song?
More like you wrote me a song.
Here.
♪ I'm done holding back ♪
♪ I dropped the act ♪
♪ I was keeping it together for too long♪
♪ I'm through running scared ♪
♪ From what's in there ♪
♪ It's not perfect, but it's me ♪
This is everything I feel.
How could you know?
Because I get it.
When I read what you wrote,
it wasn't so much a peek into your soul,
as it was a question of how you'd seen mine.
And my 'Nationals' was winning the radio contest.
Opening for Green Day...
A guy who couldn't even sing in public?
And I thought it would finally make me feel like a star.
And it didn't.
And I fought that every day. Until...
...until now.
Until I see you working out your feelings
with these words that you write.
And I realize why I do it in the first place.
Not to be a star.
Just to be me.
Let me be clear about one thing...
...if I was your coach you would be on a plane headed for home right now.
What you did was inexcusable.
If you think for one second that I'm flattered you
deserted your teammates and your coach to come after me, think again.
Your performance against Pinewood was an embarrassment.
You've become lazy and distracted and self-indulgent.
To put it bluntly, I have zero interest in being your coach.
Unless you can prove to me I won't be wasting my time.
How do we do that?
Show me you can win.
I will see you at 8 a.m. Now, get some sleep.
Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome our competitors.
Entering the arena, the team from Russia.
And leading the team, is their secret weapon,
Ivanka Kirilenko.
That's right, secret because, until today,
she has never taken part in an international competition.
Truth-telling time.
I abandoned you.
It was wrong of me and I'm sorry for that.
However, I am not the only one here
who is guilty of walking away from something of value.
Each one of you has turned your back on the lessons I worked to instill in you.
Lessons about discipline...
Focus...
Accepting your limits...
Humility... and trust.
Now, I'm prepared to make a commitment,
a commitment to stay and coach you until you are all on the World's Team.
But, first, I need to know that you are prepared
to re-dedicate yourselves to the pursuit of excellence,
that you will dig deeper and work harder to make
the most of your talents and your potential.
If you can do that, put your hand in.
Rock on!
The team from the United States of America.
Is that... Is that?
Yes. Sasha Belov is accompanying
interim U.S.Team Coach Josh Randall into the stadium.
Does that mean he is coaching in the U.S. again?
It's Sasha Belov. Who can tell with him?
Would you let him back?
Honestly, Kim? We've both given up so much time
and money trying to get our girls to the Olympics.
If he's the way there, My arms are open.
Let's have some wine.
- Where's the opener? - Right over there!
The NGO view this meet as a warm-up for Worlds.
So, Josh Randall may well be your coach at Worlds.
It's imperative you show him Pinewood was a fluke,
that you remind them you belong here.
Lauren Tanner up on the beam for Team U.S.A.
Is it safe to say that Lauren
is the favorite to win this event?
She certainly has the high degree of difficulty.
But there's been talk that Lauren and some of the other U.S. girls
have under-performed recently.
It'll be interesting to see if there's any truth to that.
Next up on the beam, representing Russia,
is Ivanka Kirilenko.
Or simply ''Ivanka' as she prefers to be known.
We've heard a lot of talk about Ivanka,
but very little is actually known. Why is that?
Most likely, it's a strategic move on the part of the Russian Federation.
Keeping her out of the public eye, and then revealing her at
the last minute.
Wow.
Where did she come from?
I think it's safe to say a gymnastic star is born.
And with that performance,
Ivanka not only scored higher than Lauren Tanner,
but the Russian Team has moved into first place ahead of the U.S.
Emily, listen to me. Repeat after me.
I am the best.
And nobody can touch me.
Emily Kmetko. Uneven bars.
The U.S. needs a strong performance here if they hope
to challenge the Russian Team.
A disappointing performance from Emily Kmetko.
Everything that could possibly go wrong, did.
And that's going to drop the U.S. into third place behind
Russia and Romania.
I'm pulling Emily.
I'm going with Kelly Parker the rest of the way.
She's too big a risk.
Kelly hasn't competed since she hurt her ankle.
Emily can do this.
She just needs to know that you believe in her.
That's the problem. I don't.
I don't know what happened. But I can do better.
I know I will do better.
I'm so sorry, Emily.
There has been a replacement.
In for Emily Kmetko is Kelly Parker.
A perfect vault from Kelly Parker.
And that puts the U.S.A. back in the running.
It's between the U.S. and Russia for the team gold.
And it's going to come down to how they match up on floor.
And both teams have saved their best for last.
It's Payson Keeler for the U.S. and Ivanka for Russia.
Relax. She's going to do great.
She is great.
Now on floor, Payson Keeler.
Woo-hoo! Whoa!
It's up to the judges, now.
It's going to be very close.
The judges are tabulating the scores.
The final scores are in.
And the Russian team takes the gold.
The U.S. captures silver and the bronze goes to Romania.
I'm Kaylie... just Kaylie.
Maybe that's enough.
I know it should be, I hope it will be,
I'm a work-in-progress.
But, whatever I am, whoever I am,
I deserve to be happy.
Good. Very good, Kaylie.
You know, I could have gotten them there.
Perhaps. In time.
But we don't have time.
And you're so sure you can get them to Worlds,
- where I couldn't? - Yes.
Emily, the Chairman of the Hungarian National Committee
would like to speak with you.
Why?
I don't know.
Thank you both for coming.
This is a bit awkward.
We came across something of concern with a test
we performed on your urine sample.
No! Wait! It was just an energy drink! I promise.
I didn't even know what was in it.
Emily, this isn't about banned substances.
You haven't broken any rules.
Then, what is this about?
It seems you're pregnant.
