[DOOR UNLOCKS]

[STUDENTS CLAMORING]

[TOPHER] It's not just a bad
idea. It's a dangerous one.

You don't just get to swan

into one of the country's
great ballet schools

and get your rocks off making some
twisted ballet that no one wants!

- Mona wants it.
- Don't call me that.

- Begged me for it like the old days.
- [MONIQUE SCOFFS]

I did announce a new Ramon Costa ballet,

but that doesn't give you full rein.

We're in the business
of inspiring artists,

not shattering souls.

[RAMON] Great artists face the darkness.

[TOPHER] One of our
students almost died.

[RAMON] Which is why the rest need
me to help them face their fears.

[MONIQUE] Right now, they need magic.

These kids may have grown up fast,

but it's still our job to help them
find their place in the world.

And if you think that
world's a fairy tale,

crank out another creaky,
old Sleeping Beauty.

- I can walk.
- Excuse me?

Walk where, Ramon? I thought
you told me Paris was over.

Is there another job
we're keeping you from?

My point is no one is safe.

[MONIQUE] We're addressing that.

We've raided our capital fund

to install time-lock doors
in the dormitories.

[RAMON] Nothing but spin
for squalling parents.

- [TOPHER] It's a start.
- [RAMON] A joke.

They'll work out an escape
strategy, like we did.

Mona, you lined up this PR
coup with this big article.

Let's hit a home run.

I can see the poster now. "Children
Recreate Crimes of Jack the... "

Ripper is all it's called. Just Ripper.

Lipstick on a psychopath.

Don't you have a class to teach?

[TOPHER SIGHS]

[DOOR OPENS AND CLOSES]

I think he's still in love with me.

I'm pretty sure he's moved on.

Picture this. A simple story ballet.

Boy meets girls. Boy terrorizes town.

Boy becomes legend.

The ballet would be a scandal.
The board would never go for it.

You push these dancers'
bodies to the limit.

Why coddle their psyches?

Get your junk off! Everyone!

First position, facing the barre.

[VOCALIZING]

Hey, Oren, you got a sec?

- Sure.
- Nice double tours today.

- Thanks.
- All about turning heads, right?

I mean, not my head, but, like,
us turning heads together?

- You trying to say something?
- Yes.

Our dancing was good yesterday.

I know.

So we should keep a good
thing going, right?

And slay these auditions together.

Wow, already planning world domination.

I'm not here to waste time.

You didn't have any decent guys
in your LA ballet school, did you?

- So?
- So I'm just saying,

every dude in this school
can do what I did.

I understand you have a girlfriend,

and I'm not here to get
in the middle of all that,

but the truth is you want me,

in, like, a dance kind of way.

Before Ramon Costa makes his
first cut, he observes class.

I think you're great.

You're gonna rock it here.

But my class technique sucks.

You'll get there. Just not today.

[FOOTSTEPS APPROACHING]

Icing up before the
Wrench checks you out?

Must've really hurt yourself.

If Ramon Costa sees us
crack up again, we're toast.

Look, I'm really sorry you fell.

Well, don't be. I'm not hurt.

We just need to talk strategy.

- Mine's simple. Go kick some ass.
- It's not enough!

[SHANE] In the dance studio,
I'll give you all I got.

But out here, you're on your own.

I hear you took a tumble.

Yes, Bette's a fallen woman.

It was nothing.
I'm already back to normal.

[ALAN] All right.
Well, let's take a look.

Okay.

- Does that hurt?
- Nope.

How about that?

- Or that?
- Not a thing.

[ALAN] Okay, well...

based on localized contusion

and limits on mobility, I'd say
there's something wrong in there.

Perhaps from compensating for
that massively swollen Achilles,

which I see is also not in your file.

Girl, you're a mess.

Alan, I swear if something
was wrong, I'd say so.

Trust me, I would never risk
my health for one stupid part.

[JUNE MUTTERS]

Girl, what are you doing?

I'm dead, done, defeated.

June, auditions haven't
even started yet.

Ramon Costa is never gonna
cast me as a soloist,

but if I don't score a lead role,

then my mum's gonna ship
me right back to New York.

You can still win him over.

It's easy for you to say.
You've already wowed him.

Yeah, until he sees me flail
around in Topher Brooks's class.

Yeah, our ballet master's tough.

And so fast, it's like another language.

It's French. It is another language.

Point is, I'm stuck playing catch-up.

You just need to learn your stuff.

All right, well, you teach me
what Brooks is talking about,

and I'll help you loosen up.

Where did you get that rose?

It was a gift. See?

[JUNE] "Your turn to fly"?

Oh, my God, that's
basically a death threat.

There was a white rose near Cassie

after she flew smack onto the street.

- You take that to the police.
- Forget it.

Neveah! Neveah, there are things

that you do not know about this place.

Things I've seen.

Okay. I was up that night,
and I saw this person,

end of the hall right here, and they
were wearing this big hoodie...

With a red zipper on it?

How did you know that?

- Just a guess.
- Okay. Now I'm freaking out.

Relax. We are not living in
some Ramon Costa ballet here.

Are you sure about that?

- You wanted to see me?
- [MAN] Yeah. You know why?

Sergeant, I know I've
gone above and beyond...

Memo from the higher-ups.

Cease investigation of this slip
and fall at the ballet school

and get back to walking your beat.

Nothing I've done compromised...

Cruz, I know you're new to this.

I served eight years
in the military, sir.

And being first cop on the crime scene,

you learn how to shake it off.

We have signs of struggle on the
roof, a director stonewalling me,

and students lying.

No eyes on the medical
records without a warrant.

I would happily punt this to Homicide.

You can't. Nobody's dead.

Is this about your lady friend?

'Cause if you need more time...

No, what I need is for my
colleagues to protect people

instead of institutions.

There is something
wrong with that place.

And if you can't see it, then
you're part of the problem.

[SERGEANT SIGHS]

I have seen too many women
squander their potential,

feelings getting in the way of a case.

If you want to turn heads on the
force, this is no way to do it.

[ENERGETIC MUSIC PLAYING]

- [MUSIC STOPS]
- [RAMON] All right. Take five.

We'll work on the solo after the break.

[DELIA EXHALES]

[SIGHS]

Brava!

Oh, Madame DuBois. Oh, God,
that was barely even a mark.

City Works is lucky to
have you back here.

[EXHALES] Thank you.

[KISSES]

Though some things never change.

[WOMEN GIGGLING]

Pervert's gonna perv.

[MONIQUE] What can I say?

Our board chair's an enthusiast

and a generous one.

Is good, yes?

[MONIQUE] Is great.

I spoke with Talbot. Nice guy.

He'd like to see an excerpt of
Ripper at tomorrow's meeting.

- Hadrian doesn't make artistic decisions.
- [RAMON SCOFFS]

It's the board's first
meeting since Cassie's fall,

plus they have to reelect the chair.

This is no time for a
command performance.

Talbot thinks it is.

You told me they'd never go for it.

I'll prove otherwise.

[DELIA SIGHS] Ramon!

- [CLASSICAL MUSIC PLAYING]
- [JUNE] Brisé volé. Brisé volé!

Temps de cuisse.

Sissonne, sissonne,
trois, pas de bourrée.

Trois, pas de bourrée, chassé en dans,

pas de chat, and pas de bourrée.

You're late.

[CHUCKLES] You're having
way too much fun.

I know, right?

And piqué, balancé, balancé.

Soutenu.

Sissonne doublée.

Sissonne doublée! Relevé.
Lame duck. Double lame duck.

- [MUSIC STOPS]
- [NEVEAH PANTING]

You need to think like a puppet.

Our ballet master's the brain.
You're just the body.

- Come on!
- Okay. [INHALES]

[PIANO MUSIC PLAYING]

Bette! Delighted you'd carve out a
minute to see your dear old mom.

Thanks for making time to see me.

Though I should say a
minute is all I have.

- I have an imminent dinner date.
- Dad still out of town?

Bette, the therapy's working.

Good to know.

I'm running for board chair.

Ah, third time's a charm. [CHUCKLES]

With the Whitlaw name duly burnished,

this is my hour to snag the prize,

get a little respect from
our friends and neighbors.

Marrying into money...

they don't make it easy.

Well, I'm looking to snag
a little something too.

It seems I took a rough landing.

So that's why you wanted to see me.

Hey, I can limp around on Advil,
or you can help me achieve liftoff.

I was thinking a dozen Percocet.

Six Vicodin.

- Mom!
- [KATRINA] Honey, I care about you.

[DELIA] Well, lookee here.

- You're early. How were rehearsals?
- Amazing.

- Bette, I didn't know you were joining.
- Delia's your dinner date?

Honey, we are not having a scene.

I live in a dorm room
five blocks away, Mom.

That's your choice, not mine.

I thought you'd be busy.
If you wanna stay, stay.

[DELIA] Speaking of busy,
how many votes do you have?

[KATRINA] It's looking good
now that my star daughter

has made principal.

Someone's got to dethrone Talbot.

I shall free the people.

[DELIA] Ramon said your showcase
auditions are coming up.

If you want any advice,
I'd be happy to help.

I'm good. Thanks.

Any other dancer would be begging
for Delia Whitlaw's guidance.

Any other dancer wouldn't
have it lorded over them

- the rest of their life.
- I've got bigger things to worry about.

Yeah, it must be a full-time job

sticking your tongue
on Costa's hairy bits.

Elizabeth! Why can't you be nice?

Because I'm in pain, Mom!

[KATRINA SIGHS]

Help me out, and I promise
I'll be sugar and spice.

[PILLS RATTLE]

See what these do for you.

Better get back.

[PRAYING IN ARABIC]

[NABIL CONTINUES PRAYING]

Is this gonna be, like,
a regular occurrence?

[CONTINUES PRAYING]

It'll only take a few minutes.

Well, this is my bedroom,

not a stinking mosque.

[CLASSICAL MUSIC PLAYING]

[NEVEAH] Use your back.

Girl, I already see you counting.

[SIGHS] God, I'm such a loser.

No, there's some good stuff in
there. Let's go from the top.

Come on. Six, seven, and...

[CASSIE] In ballet, you can
be as strong as a linebacker,

with the endurance of a marathon runner

and the heart of a champion rower.

But there's one thing you've got
that no one else can touch,

and that's your flexibility.

You're born with it,

your God-given gift of limber
ligaments and tendons,

but whatever you have is never enough.

So you're at war with yourself,

battling your body's
desire to curl back up.

You break yourself
trying to bend yourself.

Miss a day, and you slip backwards.

Work too hard, and your body retaliates,

tightens like a grudge.

But you learn. You do.

You find the perfect
torture to get results

without busting up the machine
that got you this far.

[PANTING]

[NEVEAH] You got it, girl.

- [JUNE EXHALES]
- [UPBEAT PIANO MUSIC PLAYING]

[MUSIC STOPS]

That entrechat quatre was late.

Grand allegro, as yesterday,

although from the corner,
I'd like saut de basque

instead of grand jeté en tournant.

And, gentlemen, tour en l'air.
Ladies, keep the jeté at the end.

- And...
- [PIANO PLAYING]

Don't count.

[TOPHER] And tour en l'air!

Balancé, balancé, soutenu.

And a six and a six!

Travel. More.

And tour en l'air.

[MUSIC STOPS]

I need the fifth at the top of the
assemblé, not just as you land.

[RAMON] Thank you.

It's nice to see how you
inspire the next generation.

I'm going to shortlist eight of you,

who'll have a brief pas
de deux set on you.

From that, I make final decisions
on who is granted a showcase solo.

I know Mr. Brooks has
allocated term-long partners.

Naturally, I won't be married to those.

You.

You.

You.

You.

You.

You.

You.

And you.

- [STUDENTS MURMURING]
- Yes!

- He cuts me and goes for June Park?
- Shh!

What, is he blind? She's terrible!

[JUNE] Oh, God.

Hey.

I can't talk to you right now.

[BETTE] I get it.

I'd be mad at me too.

- You know how it is.

We lash out at the people
we love the most.

Have this muffin, okay? On me.

You totally earned it.

Plus, you totally deserve the lead role.

We both do.

It's why we also know
the real problem here.

Newcomers coming in.

You mean Neveah?

She's using you.

She helped me last night. She's
the only reason I made the cut.

See, now you're selling yourself short.

It's the truth.

Neveah Stroyer is looking
for a shortcut to the top,

and when you help her,
you're only hurting yourself.

We've been besties since we were 13,

and we gotta stick together,

or else you're just gonna
end up like Cassie.

How?

You'd be admired, feared...

... but in the end, alone.

[RAMON] So, the new ballet,
I'm calling it Ripper.

It's a story of a legendary
serial killer, violent and cruel.

It's also the story of
the women that he...

Is something wrong?

One of you men will be Jack.

One of you women will play his
very last victim, Mary Jane Kelly.

I'm looking for passion,
expression, courage,

and focus. [SNAPS FINGERS]

Try to deliver.

[NEVEAH SIGHS]

Bette!

I was just conferring with
some board colleagues

in preparation for tomorrow's meeting.
If I'd had even a second...

Ramon Costa cut me.

First round.

- Well, that's certainly bad timing.
- [GASPS] I wanted to die.

[KATRINA] I can imagine.

After all the coaches I've paid
for, the doors I've opened,

your failure does not
make my job easier.

[BETTE] I'm trying, Mom. I swear.

I'm doing crazy, awful things
just to stay in the game.

It's getting harder to feel
like I'm even a good person,

that I can do the right thing.

[KATRINA] Elizabeth, you
have only one thing to do.

That is to dance better
than anyone else.

You do that, you're set.

I'm set. There's a future
worthy of this family.

But if you choke every
time opportunity knocks...

I'll straighten this out. I just
need to clear my head. Mom!

How about we go to that little tea
house you used to take me to?

We'd get those little sandwiches.

When was the last time
you saw me eat bread?

[GASPS] I just need a mom right now.

Of course you do.

But this is a situation where I
need to put on my own air mask...

... before I can help you.

[GENTLE PIANO MUSIC PLAYING]

It's one step straight into the lift.

The lift goes up and then comes right
back down. Don't be indulgent.

That is not my choreography.

- Stop, stop!
- [MUSIC STOPS]

[RAMON] You two, show them.

What are we waiting for? Music!

- From the arabesque drag.
- [PIANO PLAYING]

Nice embellishment there.
That's more the style.

You're young. You're hungry.

You're strong, and you're eager,

but none of you are consistent,

and in ballet, that is everything.

You can't be wildly good one day
and then a train wreck the next.

We'll see tomorrow what you held on to.

[NEVEAH SIGHS] My music box ballerina.

Are you sure you haven't
seen it anywhere?

[JUNE] Nope.

[NEVEAH] Look, I promise I won't be mad,

but I really, really need it back.

- If I don't...
- I didn't steal it!

- Well, you saw what happened today.
- [JUNE] Hang on. So...

So you seriously think that you
were rubbish in rehearsal today

because you couldn't rub some
busted-up ballerina belly?

I got a lot going on in my head.

So I give myself a ritual, a system.

It centers me and reminds
me what I'm good for.

And the only person who
knew that was you.

[KNOCK ON DOOR]

Got a sec?

Yeah.

[NEVEAH] This is all on me.

I choked. I'm so sorry.

It was just first rehearsal.

We still got time to show Mr. Costa
what he saw before was no fluke.

It's like we were up
there chasing old magic

instead of just dancing in the moment.

Yeah. We're trying too hard.

We gotta cut loose or something.

Get outta the studio,
find something we can use.

Yeah, but you've taken Cassie's place,

so tell me about the rose.

Damn, June! She's messing with me!

[CRUZ] No, she's afraid for you.

Whoever pushed Cassie

that's up in your bedroom sucking water.

Seems that's a good reason to talk.

June said she saw a whole

[CRUZ] Like what? Neveah!

Thanks for stepping in like that.

My dad always said,

You guys killed him.

I'm not your enemy.

out of the question.

You can't stand out until you fit in.

- But we do want her, Madame.
- Excuse me!

This just came out.

[TORRI GASPS]

Girl, they loved you! [CHUCKLES]

[CASSIE] There's a wicked
paradox in ballet,

which is that this great flexibility
is expected to blossom

in a rigid world.

The brutal rules and endless isolation,
the messing of your mind,

it somehow contorts your
natural tendency to stretch

into a perverse expression of a miracle.

To make yourself into malleable
clay demands everything.

You learn ways to trick yourself.

You numb your feelings, ignore
your sense of what's possible

in your quest for extreme
height, length, speed.

In time, you transform yourself into
what's wanted, what's expected,

by simple means.

Force applied to the body,
held beyond a feeling of pain.

And you hold it in, that pain.

You hold it.

[CASSIE] The thrill of

I don't think they'll like it.

But there's no better way
to torture your enemies

than with your own perfection.

Well, I came here to learn, and if
you won't teach me, others will.

Ramon Costa is just passing through,

and with that attitude, you are too.

- I belong here.

The ones who truly believe in you,

they're not throwing
you into the spotlight

and making you flavor of the month.

They're in the background,

That's how we do it here.

["NIGHT CLOUDS" BY THOMAS EDWARD

I can't keep meeting you.

That article was quite the
takedown of school leadership.

Apparently, only Neveah Stroyer
can lead us to the promised land.

It seems you don't agree.

Well, "the future of ballet"

was dragging me around
like a caveman last night,

calling me a liar.

- Except you are a liar, June.
- Excuse me?

You told me you were tucked
in the night of Cassie's fall.

I was.

You're not the only one I talk to.

Look, I told you what I could to...

To cover your ass, but now
I'm eyeing at least half a cheek.

[JUNE] Hey, I was afraid, okay?

Sure, I was up the night
of Cassie's fall,

and yeah, I saw this person in a
hoodie running down the hallway,

except that person was
watching me right back.

If the truth gets out,

whoever that person was, they'll
know that I'm the one who spilled.

Okay. You said they
were wearing a hoodie?

Yeah.

But the only face that
anybody saw was mine.

Ooh, homie in a comie.
You gotta Snap that.

Tyler, no. You're disgusting.

She's the reason you're there, right?
Like, you're the new rock star.

- Don't say that.
- It's the truth. You're the best.

Seriously, you gotta be okay if
it just turns out that I'm decent.

Hey, that's not an option.

You're doing this for everybody.

Gotta go.

You following me?

I drop by off-shift sometimes.

You'd be surprised how
much I learn here.

What? She just sits up
and starts squawking?

No. But the folks who visit her sure do.

Well, not me.

[CRUZ] It's gotta be scary...

you coming into a world
that she left so terribly.

- Don't.
- What?

You're trying to get in.

It's not happening.

What is it? You get a promotion
if you pin this on somebody?

I was there, Neveah. I saved her life.

Or stuck her in this purgatory.

Gray hoodie, red zipper down the front,
you seen anybody wearing one?

Your roommate told me that she
saw someone lurking around

that night wearing one.

Lady, it's a building full of teenagers.

It's all hoodies all the time.

I don't know your damage. Then
again, you don't know mine either.

But I do think we're each
looking at a fighter here.

And in combat, you need a
gunner watching your back

before you ever get out of
the hole you're hiding in.

... is I got your back.

- Talk to Torri.
- She'll listen to you.

Caleb, I have my own battles to fight.

Nabil is a good dancer, and he
has every right to be here.

You know what happened to my father.

We'll discuss it tomorrow.

[CELL PHONE CHIMES]

[ALAN] And I continue to
help a young man recover

from last year's meniscus tear.

However, considering the anticipated...

I have Selena looking everywhere.

I called the dancers again, no answer.

Well, that's convenient for you.

Ramon, I may not have wanted this,

but I'm not about to
fall on my face now.

... to both our schedule and budget,

I remain confident
that it will be crucial

to our students' health and safety.

[HADRIAN] Thank you for
the student health report.

It's good to know that our young
dancers are in fine fettle.

So up next, Ramon Costa is here
to present a little something

that I have arranged for us to see.

Ladies and gentlemen, we need to wait.

[CHUCKLES] We have an approved agenda.

And the thing about dance, Hadrian,
is that it requires flexibility.

I propose we move on to the next item,

a discussion of ASB board leadership.

This dance is part of
what I'm running on here.

We see it before we vote.

We agree.

Our beloved Archer School
of Ballet is skirting disaster.

But in every crisis lies
a chance for rebirth,

and from where I stand, this
place needs that reinvention.

Under Hadrian Talbot's leadership,

safety has taken a back seat to
corporate-minded efficiencies.

We're making the changes, Katrina.

New security doors will not fix this.

As a mother of two dancers,

I can look a parent in
the eye and tell them,

"Your child is safe here."

As yesterday's article reminds
us, if ballet is dying,

the only way that we can save it

is by boldly investing in a vision

that any loving mother can get behind.

In a way, each dancer is our child.

So we need to do everything that we can

to give them the future that
they so richly deserve.

- [HADRIAN] We are not voting yet.
- You're stalling, Hadrian.

[MONIQUE] Mr. Talbot is right.

We have an approved agenda.

If we don't follow it,
I could face legal exposure.

We have no dancers.

[BETTE] You do.

We came to watch June, but
Shane and I are up for the job.

No, you're not. I never
set the piece on you.

Well, it seems someone
took the initiative.

- So we are seeing the dance?
- Of course, Hadrian.

We Whitlaws are there when
a problem needs fixing.

Shane insisted we learn the piece,
just to keep on top of things.

I only danced there to help
you in the fight for Ripper.

I never dreamed Ramon would
go and cast us as the leads.

No, it's... it's not your fault.

It's Neveah's.

You don't think...

Nabil figures it was
Caleb who locked us out.

But she's definitely the
one who did this to me.

You were right.

I should have never trusted her.

- The new door may have just jammed.
- Bette.

There are no princes in
a Ramon Costa ballet.

- Only one devil.
- Hey! I'm not the bad guy here.

What we're doing, we gotta stop.

- What, because I got cast?
- Because it's wrong.

You told me yourself, it's nothing.

For me, yeah.

I do not know what she sees.

I've been here a long time.

I've proven myself to her.

Except she decide, the school,

it need something more.

So ask yourself, Caleb Wick...

huh, before you go and tell her
it will either be you or me...

... which one will she choose?

I am quite sure...

... it won't be you.
