ice looks good today. well, that went well. bryan: very clever.very neatly done. i just hope you havea reasonable explanation,or at least an alternative. can you just wait? for what? for you to grow up? (greeting in spanish) meet the alternative.
dropped your phone. thanks for lettingme use your skates. don't worry about it. it's not like i'm using them. (exclaiming) it's been so long,i forgot how uncomfortablethese things are. watch your edges,they're sharper. and relax. and don't forgetabout the toe...

(laughing) but when we couldno longer affordthe lessons, you threw themto the garbage. it's okay to be afraid, mi amor. but don't let the fearkeep you from doingwhat you were meant to do. it hurts too much, mami... to want somethinglike that and lose it. you don't know how many timesi cried myself to sleep. i know you cried.
because i stoodoutside your doorand listened. and i cried, too. this passion you have is so mucha part of your spirit. had i known,i would have given my life not to havetaken it from you. there are few second chancesin life, alexandra. and this opportunity... forget the risk and fear.

that was someshowstopper with bryan. espn's beenplaying it so much that you should probablybe getting royalties. so you're not entirelysurprised to see us? no, and i was preparedto turn you down flat, but seeing you here,and her... i'm more thana little curious. so, you're a hockey player. so's my dad.
dorsey.doug dorsey! he's your dad? mmm-hmm. (exclaims)great hockey player. yeah, he wasa pretty goodfigure skater, too. because he had a great coach. you really thinkyou can do this? well,with your help, who knows? come on, jack,do it for the old man.
he was an outsider,and he became great. it's not about beinggreat anymore, zack. you have to be perfect. and what?i mean, what are you guysgoing to do for a routine? nationals are in,like, ten minutes. five, actually. i actually knowall the routines fromthe last three olympics. i memorized them all. you guys have towork seven days a week,and long hours,
if you have anychance of gettingon the ice in miami. i want you breathing,eating, everythingbut sleeping together, from now until nationals. that's what my momand my dad had to do. and let me emphasizethe "not sleepingtogether" part.

you should be focusingon the gold medalchamps over here. congratulations. so, jason. jason... just one second. hey, zacko! i was wondering... my hair's gettinga little long. can i get a trim? no? so, paris! tell me,how are youfeeling about that? excuse me. excuse me.
you're notgonna believe this, but third placejust popped positive. sid rotunda'sbeen juicing. so that means that theyhave been disqualified,which means that you... you're going to paris? zack? zack? zack! zack, we're going to paris. we're going to paris! we're going to paris.some verducci kidwas juicing or something.
but we're going to paris! that's... we're going! that's amazing. need a cold one? listen, i knowi've been giving youa hard time about alex, but that's over, man. you're solid. and no one blames herfor what happened.
i mean, she's still learning. listen, bobby,that cut was my fault. i lost my concentration. that's anunforgivable mistake. i could'vereally hurt her. yeah, but you didn't. and you were there for her. i saw how youtook care of her. that's good stuff, man.
hello? hello? thanks for meeting me. a little stiff. this is heaven. you really missed it. sometimes i wishi never had to skate again. you think that untilsomething happens, and then... all you can think aboutis getting back on this ice. i'm sorry you had to find outabout bryan and methe way you did.
i wanted to tell youbefore your program, it's just there was so muchgoing on, and i didn't know if i should do it. no, you know... you never have toexplain yourself to me. just tell meyou're sure about this. it bothers you? well, it's not likei don't know the guy. zack, you had to knowit was gonna happen withsomeone sooner or later.
well, maybe. but, you know,it's not something iwanted to think about. but you didn't love me.not really love me. how do you know that? zack,i have been your partner, your lover andyour friend, but... i've never been the one. celeste, come on,that's not... no, let's not kid ourselves. either you never loved meor you couldn't show it.
but whatever the case,it doesn't matter anymore. (camera clicking) jackie: hey, come in. anton pamchenkowas my mom's coach. he discovered my father,turned him intoa figure skater, and he pairedhim up with my mom. these are drawings of a movethat he invented that won my parentsthe gold medal. it was onlydone this one time.
zack: which is a good thing, because the pamchenkois insanely dangerous. if one partner's so muchas half a beat off,we'll both eat it. and we're not justtalking career-ending, we're talkingpossibly life-threatening. i understandthat you have to be desperate or insaneto try this, zack. okay, so then,why are youshowing us this? you guys nearly pulled offa miracle in miami,but you crashed.
alex, to win in paris,you have to be flawless. and given your time together,i'm sorry, but it'svirtually impossible. or you two could do a movethat no one else can do. and you could steal the gold. it's too risky. here, give me a minute. zack. come on, zack.talk to me. you know this is insane.
but i also know thatthat's why you came to mein the first place. i dare you totell me otherwise. come on, zack. you managed to makean amazing skaterout of alex. and you're going to paris. why are you so worriedabout it being too dangerous? oh, so you fell for her. at least have the gutsto finish what you started. you... put this on.
i don't wannaexplain to your momhow i brought you home with your headfacing backwards. (fast-paced rap song playing) more speed, guys.more speed. come on. faster, faster, faster. again! higher.higher on the bounce. you have got to gether up there, zack! (groans)
okay, get upand do it again. zack? (bell rings) alex: okay if i join you? you know,it's none of my business, but there's just so muchi don't know about you. it's like we'refrom different planets. i'm from the onewith coaches and agents. you're fromthe one with people.
you know, there'sreally a whole lot lessto me than you think. uh-huh. you know, you're nevergonna convince me that your wholeskater-playboy lifeis all bad. and, yeah,you lost a lot as a kid,and that sucks, but... we all get a little lonely,no matter how muchcompany we have. it's all partof the life deal. look, you don'thave to answer, okay? but what about celeste?
when she's skating again? right now,you and i are partners. that's all that matters. come here. you know,when we first started out, i was afraidyou were gonnamess with me. and nowi'm afraid you won't. (bell ringing) uh-oh!
oops! okay. awkward moment. you want a taco? yeah? okay. (french song playing) we are live in parisfor the international figure skatingconference championship. rob: bright and halyard. what a performance. very, very strong. lori: misha back together with her partner, rudy.
they're reunited, and this looks like a russian revival. rob: it looks like alexandra delgado and zack conroy have picked up where they left off. no indication thatthe accident in miami has slowedeither of them down. lori: i couldn't agree with you more. they are skatinga beautiful short program. you have to admit,this is one impressive pair. how does that feel?
it didn't suck. woman: america's sweethearts,everybody. america's sweethearts. (speaking french) zacko! zack, alex,i just wanted tosay congratulations. your skate out there todaywas really inspiring. thanks, jason. you're welcome. we just feel so horribleabout what happened.
what are you talking about? you haven'tseen the pictures? that's priceless.he doesn't know. he hasn't seen them. you see, zack... this is you, and that...that's not alex. zack, what's going on? hold on there, casanova.there's more. here's one whereyou're hugging her.
another here whereher engagement ringis nicely featured. i'm sure bryan wouldbe really interestedto see these photos, zack. oh, and this one'smy personal favorite. this is precious. you're kissingher here, zack. you son of a bitch! alex: zack! zack! come on, zack. let's go. reporter: now thatyou're back with celeste,how will that impact your...
zack: alex, hold on!alex! alex, wait! and what aboutthe romance between... shut the camera off.shut the camera off! just answer the question. zack: alex! alex! what about the romancebetween you... get out of my face! alex. i really shouldn'tbe telling you this,
but you look so patheticsitting here all night. i know somethingmaybe you should know. (door slamming) (knocking at door) hey, jackie. so,do you want the good news,the bad news or the worst? between all the shovingand confusion yesterday, no one seemssure who started it,so that's the good. how is she?
i'm getting to that. now, if jason brightswears a formal complaint, they'll have todisqualify you. that's the bad. no one's gettingdisqualified, jackie. jason willnever make it stick. will she at leasttalk to me? that's the worst.alex is leaving. okay. go to the arena,make sure that we arestill on the program.
if anyone asks you,we'll be there. bobby: don't even try, man. i warned you. you know what?you're right. i'm a jerk. i'm not trustworthy.you never should'velet me near her. all those are true ifyou take those photosat face value. you're anintelligent man, bobby. you know that picturesand people are notalways what they seem. oh, yeah? what aboutthe bimbo in this room, huh? she saw that?
that's just great. i'm going to meet someone. give alex this note,make sure shereads it, please! i'll be waitingat the rink. it wasn't easyafter yesterday. it was so hardgetting awayfrom the press. there's somethingyou should hear. it's not gonna be pleasant. there you go.
it's okay.you can tell her. zack wants me to tell youabout those photographs. how i know thatthey come from bryan. he was having you followed. and...and how do you know this? he told me. in bed. i want you to knowit didn't mean anything. you know, bryan and me,we're old friends.
you know howthat is sometimes. no, i don't. i tried. yeah. thank you. i'm sorry, but i thoughtyou should know. you gonna be okay? you forget whoyou're talking to. i've been practicinglanding on my feetall my life.
so what are you gonna do? honestly,i just want alex to skate. not for me, for her.she deserves it. well, i should go.bryan is expecting me. you know, zack,you should tell alex. just like you told me. (rock music playing) taxi! yeah? good. okay. rob: well,we've said it before,we say it again,

i read your stupid note,and i listened toall your messages about the picturesand the girl in the hallway. are you satisfied? not really,but it's a start. when you asked meabout celeste,i wasn't sure. not about my future with her,but about you. don't start that with me. when i saw you walkout of my life yesterday, that hurt worse thananything i've ever felt.
i don't understand, zack.what do you want? i want you, alex,in my life. hey, you guys areboth athletes, right? which means you can walkand talk at the same time.come on, let's go. let's go. come on. zack conroy. alexandra delgado. come on. hurry. i got it, i got it.
