Hey,

Where you been?

Sorry I'm late.

I didn't get much

sleep last night.

What's going on?

Tina quit. She said

she's not coming back.

What the hell?

Do you know what this

does to our choreography?

Of course we do!

But I'm...

Bun nothing!

This screws everything up!

Don't take it out

on Lyric.

I'm not taking it out

on Lyric. I'm pissed!

So, what do we do?

You tell us.

You're the choreographer.

You know what?

I don't need this

right now.

I'm out.

Well, that's messed up.

What?

A street battle?

What were you thinking?

Didn't you know losing

would ruin their confidence?

I'm sorry, college boy, I'm not as smart as you.

I didn't know that

Well, you should have.

And you should have told me

you were just some rich kid

slumming it down

here for grades.

Now, what does my family's money

have to do with any of this?

Makes it all

just a game for you.

If things fall apart,

you can just leave,

buf the rest of us are stuck

here to deal with it.

In case you haven't

noticed, I'm still here.

You're the one

that walked out.

Because it's over!

l quit!

We can't win

without Tina!

Fine, If that's the way you

feel, then you should quit.

I'm going to go up there with my

crew, because I believe in us.

Maria.

Are you okay?

Yeah. why?

Today's your day off.

What can I say?

I'd rather be here than anywhere else.

Oh, Maria.

Let's talk.

Let's talk.

You got to follow

your heart, Maria.

Is there a problem at home

or with your friends?

Both.

And this is how you deal with it?

Come to work?

Yeah.

Huh. Good.

Why, because you get

free labor?

Of course.

But I was

thinking, Maria,

instead of getting

yourself into trouble,

you chose to do

something constructive.

I like that.

Well, while I'm

being constructive,

is there anything else

you want me to do?

You go work your register, and

I'll take care of this later,

You said no one works

the register but you,

What, you expect me to take your word

for it that you were going to change?

NO,

I had to wait for you to

prove it, and you have.

So, now I trust you.

Thanks, Mr. Kapoor.

That means a lot.

BRANDON:

Five, six, seven, eight.

All right.

Try it again.

Five, six, seven, eight.

All right.

So, you're back now?

Why not

I still got to do my community

service here anyway.

Right.

Hey,

Hey, look.

I want to be here,

if that's okay with you.

Whatever.

Uh-uh.

Yo, is that Tina?

Okay, I'm just going to

go ahead and say it,

Sh*t!

She joined up

with the 718.

That's scandalous, man.

How's she going to play us like that?

Because she only thinks about

her damn self, that's how.

BRANDON:
We can't sweat

this right now, guys,

MARIA:
He's right.

We need to focus on this crew.

So, let's rock this thing,

all right? Bring it in.

Let's get an HD on three,

an right?

One, two, three...

ALL:
HD!

MARIO!

Every season on Battle Zone,

we find Ihe hottest, most

insane crews on the scene,

and last season

was no different.

The 718 set this place on fire

with their off-the-chain routines,

and at the end

of this season,

you're going to

see them perform

against

the last crew standing.

There's already been some

behind-the-scenes madness

with one crew jacking

another for a dancer,

and we haven't

even started yet.

So, what's

jumping off next?

Stay tuned, because you don't

want to miss Battle Zone.

(AUDIENCE CHEERING)

(UPBEAT MUSIC PLAYING)

(AUDIENCE CHEERING)

(LOUD CHEERING)

One of these crews

is going home tonight.

Judges, who will it be?

Well, it's obvious that this

year's talent is amazing,

but, unfortunately,

somebody has to go.

And tonight,

it's Fanny Pak.

(SCREAMS JOYOUSLY)

Sorry, guys.

ALL; (DRAMATICALLY)

Ah! Ah,

I'm sorry to see those guys go.

They were a hot crew.

Yeah, but they

weren't the best.

And you have

got to be the best

if you're gonna go

up against the 718.

MARIO:
Enough said.

We'll see you next

week in Battle Zone.

(AUDIENCE CHEERING)

Come on,

we just killed it!

Yeah, we're still in.

We need to talk.

No, we don't.

Look, I know you think you know

what you're doing, but you don't.

You need to stay

away from Luis.

He said you were going to

say something like that.

Trying to get me

back in the crew?

Look, he's right, we need you.

But more importantly,

I don't want to see

you get caught up.

You don't know him

like I do.

I know he's my best chance

at winning that prize money.

Can you

guarantee me that?

Yeah, I didn't

think so,

Wait.

For what?

I ain't coming

back to your crew.

Then, just be careful.

Can I talk to you

for a second?

What do you want?

It'll only take

a second.

Come on.

Whats up?

Let me take Tina's place.

Right.

I mean it.

I'll come dance with you if

you kick Tina off your crew.

What changed your mind

all of a sudden?

I know what I'm getting into with you.

Tina doesn't.

And since when did you become

a teenage crisis counselor?

You know I'm

a better dancer than her,

and I can pretty much

guarantee you another win.

That's true.

There's just one little problem.

What'S that?

Come here.

Come close.

I don't

trust you, witch.

Ever since you got out of juvie,

you've been full of yourself

and treating me like I'm something

you scraped off your shoe.

But,

you see that

little girl over there?

She has stars

in her eyes.

And I can make her

do anything I want.

You're a jerk.

Do you know that?

You used to like it.

You tried to fix it,

didn't you?

You were listening?

I had to make sure

you were okay.

Yeah, I'm good.

I just feel bad.

Tina being with them

is all my fault.

No,

Tina's stubborn.

That's her fault.

But thanks for

trying to protect her.

I just want the crew to go back

to the way it was, you know?

I do, too.

Hey, do me a favor.

Don't be mad at me anymore,

because I'm too tired to fight.

Me too.

BRANDON:
Yeah, the movie

was good, but real talk,

could you stop killing

us in rehearsals?

No, I have to.

We've got to make it

to the finals.

We got to be

strong enough to win.

You can hang, can't

you, college boy?

Oh, I can hang.

Okay, then.

So, say my name.

College boy?

Okay, say it.

(LAUGHS) Okay, okay! Brandon!

"Brandon," all right?

Are you happy now?

Very happy-

(GIRL SOBBING)

Do you hear that?

Yeah.

Just wait right here.

Maria, come here.

Tina, are you okay?

MARIA; Hey, what happened?

Did Luis do this

to you?

No, it was his boys.

They beat you up?

No.

Luis told them

to walk me home,

and then they smashed a store

window and told me to grab stuff.

And did you?

I was too scared.

There was glass everywhere.

I got all cut up.

I'll take her to my house.

It's okay there.

Okay.

Come on.

Come on.

I should've listened to you when you

told me to stay away from Luis.

Yeah, well, sometimes you just

got to learn the hard way.

Yeah, you're right.

So, what are you

going to do now?

I'm not messing with Luis no more.

That's for damn sure.

Word.

Which means I can't

dance with his crew either.
