00:11:15That changes tonight.
00:11:29I don't want to know how I'll be stressing, I'll be stressing, cause I look good 24-7, I'm hot 24-7.
00:11:40I made it!
00:11:42Nice goodwill dress.
00:11:47You're not invited.
00:11:49I thought the party was for winners only, so I thought you weren't invited.
00:11:53Bitch.
00:11:55Let me get you a drink.
00:11:59I've never been to a party before, or had a drink before.
00:12:03Okay, what are you doing?
00:12:05You don't owe her your time.
00:12:07Come on.
00:12:08Hello?
00:12:10Can you not be a pig?
00:12:11Let's go.
00:12:14Excuse.
00:12:15No, choose.
00:12:16No, choose.
00:12:17What?
00:12:18No, choose.
00:12:22Let's go, bitches!
00:12:29Come on, everyone, let's start playing.
00:12:37Yay!
00:12:40Justin, truth or dare?
00:12:44Dare.
00:12:44Well, I dare you to kiss the hottest girl in the room.
00:12:54Uh-huh!
00:12:55Oh, my God.
00:13:04What?
00:13:05Her?
00:13:05You must be joking.
00:13:06Kind of like how you were joking when you cheated at our fencing map?
00:13:10Shut up, attention whore.
00:13:12You act like you're untouchable, but you still sleep with Mr. Bear just like when you were
00:13:16five.
00:13:17That is not true.
00:13:18Here, look.
00:13:19I have a picture.
00:13:20Look.
00:13:21Ah!
00:13:24That's not funny.
00:13:26You know what else isn't funny?
00:13:28She bribed the judges so that she'd win skates our junior year of high school.
00:13:33Shut up!
00:13:34You're such a liar.
00:13:36None of that ever happened.
00:13:38Enjoy your party.
00:13:39Bye, bitch.
00:13:40Roman, right?
00:13:59I challenge you to a duel.
00:14:02I challenge you to a duel.
00:14:04No.
00:14:07Scared I'll win?
00:14:08Yeah, you're drunk.
00:14:09You're going to poke your own eye out.
00:14:11No one believes in me.
00:14:13Come on.
00:14:16That's enough.
00:14:18Let go.
00:14:18Fight me.
00:14:25I'm going to lose.
00:14:27Lauren's going to beat me at the end of the year, and I'm going to get kicked out of my
00:14:30family's will.
00:14:31Not if I train you.
00:14:32You remember?
00:14:346 a.m. tomorrow morning?
00:14:36Or did you forget?
00:14:39Mm-hmm.
00:14:43Go.
00:14:51You're impossible.
00:14:52Well, well.
00:15:04She lives.
00:15:06I regret my entire life.
00:15:09Champions train under brutal conditions.
00:15:12Even self-inflicted ones.
00:15:15Fantastic.
00:15:16I'll poison myself before every practice.
00:15:18He wouldn't be the first college athlete to try that.
00:15:20Okay, come.
00:15:21Stretch.
00:15:34This will help your injury.
00:15:36That feels good.
00:15:42Um, suit up.
00:15:43Since your right hand is injured, I'll train with your left.
00:15:56I can't.
00:15:58Yes, you can.
00:16:00Come on.
00:16:04On guard.
00:16:06Oh!
00:16:06This is humiliating.
00:16:11I feel like a total beginner.
00:16:12Hey, you said you wanted to fight.
00:16:15So channel all your resentment for how early it is, or your anger from your sister, and fight
00:16:19me.
00:16:29Again.
00:16:29You're too stiff.
00:16:38Relax your wrist, and your stance is off.
00:16:40Again.
00:16:48Well done.
00:16:50But it could be better.
00:16:51Can I have my victory for two seconds?
00:16:53Hey, you're still favoring your right side.
00:16:55Okay, try shifting your weight.
00:16:56Here.
00:16:57Here.
00:17:00Right here, legs.
00:17:02There you go.
00:17:15Something hurt?
00:17:17Can he tell what I'm thinking?
00:17:19Is it obvious?
00:17:22Our training session's over.
00:17:24Go get ready for class.
00:17:25No, we just started making progress.
00:17:27Yeah, I said we're done.
00:17:29You feel it, too?
00:17:35It's not gonna happen.
00:17:37We're both adults.
00:17:39I'm your coach.
00:17:41Okay, I can lose my position.
00:17:42And you can lose your shot at the championship.
00:17:44I've spent my entire life fencing, studying, and keeping my head down while Lauren went off
00:17:49and chased whoever she wanted.
00:17:50Okay, so go find a guy your own age.
00:17:52I deserve to break the rules for once.
00:17:56Don't you want me?
00:17:58It's unprofessional.
00:18:00But do you?
00:18:00I can't.
00:18:11Okay, do not ask me again or I won't be able to train you.
00:18:14Hey, Dad.
00:18:26Your sister warned me you might be distracted from the competition.
00:18:31Should I be worried?
00:18:31No.
00:18:33No distractions.
00:18:41Did Melody really blow Coach Wright?
00:18:45She practically begged him.
00:18:47So embarrassing.
00:18:49Well, that's one way to win championships.
00:18:54Ignore them and stay focused.
00:18:56From now on, no more distractions.
00:18:58Today, we'll be using practice gloves for tactical training.
00:19:10Hi, Coach Wright.
00:19:13Remember, fencing is about physical and mental control.
00:19:17In the heat of the fight, you'll want to give in to your impulses.
00:19:20The many you do, you've lost.
00:19:24All right, pair off.
00:19:28Un-God.
00:19:31Pret.
00:19:33All right.
00:19:43This is Ashworth.
00:19:44Your tempo's off and your recovery's sloppy.
00:19:48Nice form.
00:19:49Excellent work.
00:19:52All right, that's it for today, everyone.
00:19:54You're free to go.
00:19:55All right.
00:19:55All right.
00:19:58Not you.
00:20:00Run ten laps.
00:20:02Seriously?
00:20:19What the hell's your problem?
00:20:20First, you pretend like I don't exist, and then you publicly humiliate me while I'm winning?
00:20:28You asked for this.
00:20:31I didn't ask for you to humiliate me and punish me.
00:20:33Do you want to be a champion?
00:20:34You want to beat your sister?
00:20:36It's not going to happen if I'm soft on you.
00:20:38Bullshit.
00:20:40This isn't about fencing.
00:20:41This is about what happened between us this morning.
00:20:45It didn't happen.
00:20:45It didn't happen.
00:20:45It didn't happen.
00:20:45It didn't happen.
00:20:50Yeah.
00:20:52Nothing happened.
00:21:00I told you, he's not into second-rate amateurs.
00:21:04But don't worry.
00:21:06I'll keep his lap warm for you.
00:21:12Is Roman checking out Boren?
00:21:14Of course he is.
00:21:15I'm so stupid.
00:21:16I don't have time for this.
00:21:18Bye.
00:21:20Hey, coach?
00:21:26Roman won't help me and Lauren's out for blood.
00:21:29I can't waste any more time.
00:21:36Ignore the pain, or Lauren wins.
00:21:38What the hell are you doing?
00:22:03What the hell are you doing?
00:22:03I have to be the best.
00:22:10Okay, you're acting like an amateur.
00:22:11I told you not to push through this.
00:22:13You didn't listen to me.
00:22:14Because I can't do anything right.
00:22:19Show me.
00:22:25It's sensitive.
00:22:27I know.
00:22:27I know.
00:22:27I know.
00:22:27I know.
00:22:27I know.
00:22:27I know.
00:22:27I know.
00:22:29I know.
00:22:34I thought you were done with me.
00:22:36I'm never going to be done with you.
00:22:40Roman, kiss me.
00:22:48Stop.
00:22:48I need you to go before I lose control.
00:22:51And rest your damn arm.
00:22:53I've had the family attorneys look over this contract for your championship competition.
00:23:08This is your last chance to back out.
00:23:12All right, all right.
00:23:15You're both your father's daughter.
00:23:17The terms are simple.
00:23:19If you cheat, you're disqualified.
00:23:22Your uncle and I competed with these back in the day.
00:23:34May they bring you honor.
00:23:37Thank you, Dad.
00:23:39I won't let you down.
00:23:40Girls, know that I love you.
00:23:43And that no matter what happens, I'm proud of you.
00:23:47Come.
00:23:48Lauren, honey.
00:23:50A word?
00:23:52Okay.
00:23:54Forget this contract.
00:23:56Social comparison theory suggests we define ourselves based on how we feel we measure up
00:24:13to others.
00:24:14It is a slippery slope in the psychological world, both dangerous and intriguing at the
00:24:19same time.
00:24:29Melody.
00:24:31What's on your phone that's so interesting?
00:24:34Sorry, Professor.
00:24:38She did this.
00:24:49Enough.
00:24:50Settle down.
00:25:08Do I say hello to him?
00:25:11Does he know about the video?
00:25:17Hi.
00:25:19Stop fucking with me.
00:25:30Back off, Lauren.
00:25:36Melody, seems like you're obsessed with our coach.
00:25:40What are you going to do next?
00:25:41Write his little name on the dorm walls.
00:25:44It's enough.
00:25:45Both of you.
00:25:49I'd like to, um, give some recognition to Melody Ashworth.
00:25:58Despite her injury, she's trained harder than the rest of you.
00:26:03Learn from her example.
00:26:11Thanks.
00:26:12You owe me an extra morning training session tomorrow in the gym.
00:26:22Piece of advice.
00:26:23Don't try and beat me at my own game.
00:26:25Because I will fucking destroy you.
00:26:28Fifteen minutes early.
00:26:40I owed you.
00:26:42I rested my arm like you said.
00:26:45And it feels way better.
00:26:48Miracles do happen.
00:26:49You can train on it today.
00:26:50Just go slow.
00:26:51Okay?
00:26:52Okay?
00:26:59Hey.
00:27:03We'll get your strength back.
00:27:13I'm going.
00:27:14Well done.
00:27:30I learned from the best.
00:27:31Are you sure you want to do this?
00:27:41You know what you're risking.
00:27:42Of course.
00:27:44I fought for my place in this family and this competition my entire life.
00:27:47But I can't stop wanting you.
00:27:49Tell me to stop.
00:28:04Keep going.
00:28:07No.
00:28:07Don't try it.
00:28:10Tell me how I know you were.
00:28:14Everything you've ever dreamed.
00:28:17Got me thinking, is this love?
00:28:26My mind is going crazy, baby.
00:28:30Maybe you've got all my attention.
00:28:33Living inside the tension.
00:28:36My mind is going crazy, baby.
00:28:39I think I...
00:28:40Oh my god.
00:28:44What's going on?
00:28:45Genius.
00:28:46Now it looks like...
00:28:47It looks like you're making out with the coach.
00:28:49No, June.
00:28:52It's a fucking mistake.
00:28:53No, I'll talk to her.
00:28:54I'll be...
00:28:54You're not going to say anything.
00:28:55You're going to pray she doesn't tell anyone and that we don't get caught.
00:28:58We're done with our private sessions.
00:29:09June.
00:29:09We're friends.
00:29:11Right?
00:29:11And friends help each other out.
00:29:16And enemies.
00:29:17Enemies can pull some strings to make some fencing scholarships disappear.
00:29:25What do you want?
00:29:27I want some intel on my dear sister Melody.
00:29:30Okay?
00:29:32Okay?
00:29:36I can't get your taste off my lips.
00:29:51Meet me in the gym tonight.
00:29:53Let's spar.
00:29:54R.
00:29:54Roman?
00:30:06I thought you never wanted to see me again.
00:30:11Okay?
00:30:12Let's do this.
00:30:13What the hell is wrong with you?
00:30:38You actually thought he wanted you?
00:30:43The note.
00:30:44You tricked me.
00:30:46Well, June spilled everything.
00:30:49She said you practically threw yourself at him.
00:30:51No wonder why he dumped you after things got just a little messy.
00:30:55Wait, do you really think he loved you?
00:30:58Aww.
00:30:59Ah!
00:31:02You're jealous.
00:31:03You get everything you want and you can't handle me having this one thing.
00:31:07Well, someone's got to remind you of your place.
00:31:09But leave Roman to me.
00:31:11We're also going to tell dad your dirty littles.
00:31:14You have no proof.
00:31:16You sure about that?
00:31:19I have been watching your every move since we were kids.
00:31:23I know your weak spots.
00:31:26And I know the ending.
00:31:28And I always fucking win.
00:31:32Hey.
00:31:33Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey!
00:31:36Ow.
00:31:37What is going on here?
00:31:38Melody.
00:31:39She tricked me into this dirty fight.
00:31:41She's trying to hurt me so I can't compete tomorrow.
00:31:43Bullshit!
00:31:44You ambushed me!
00:31:46I hate this thing.
00:31:47She's fucking crazy!
00:31:50Can you do something about this and kick her off the team before someone gets hurt and has to go to the hospital?
00:31:54You lured me with a fake note.
00:31:56Or a one note.
00:31:57Listen to me right now.
00:32:11I will not be a pawn in your sibling rivalry.
00:32:14I thought you two were honorable fencers.
00:32:17Not catty, immature children who risk their futures with idiotic fights.
00:32:22You wicked!
00:32:22Do not give me any excuse right now.
00:32:26You pull a stunt like this again, you're off the team.
00:32:29Both of you.
00:32:52At least I can sleep in on Fridays now.
00:32:58Melody, there you are.
00:33:00What do you want?
00:33:01Look, I screwed up.
00:33:04Whatever is between you and Roman, it is none of my business.
00:33:06And it's just...
00:33:08Lauren threatened my fencing scholarship.
00:33:12And your family is a big deal here.
00:33:14And I just, I panicked.
00:33:15And I'm really sorry that I ratted you out.
00:33:19It's okay.
00:33:20My sister can be scary.
00:33:23I want to make it up to you.
00:33:25There's this invite-only networking party tonight.
00:33:28And it's just for legacy fencing champions.
00:33:31And students with Olympic belt coaches, alumni, scouts.
00:33:35They're all going to be there.
00:33:37Come with me as my friend.
00:33:38Won't Lauren be mad?
00:33:40Probably.
00:33:41But you've earned your place too.
00:33:43Please, I'll help you get ready.
00:33:45We'll look super hot and flirt with cute boys and make career connections.
00:33:52It'll be fun.
00:33:53That sounds amazingly normal compared to what my life has been like lately.
00:34:28Everyone's staring.
00:34:33Because you're hot shit.
00:34:36Own it.
00:34:42Oh my god.
00:34:43Is that Melody Ashworth?
00:34:44She looks like a model.
00:34:46Shut up.
00:34:47Hey.
00:34:50I was hoping you'd show.
00:34:51You sure made an impression on me.
00:34:54You look beautiful tonight.
00:34:57Can I get you a drink?
00:34:59Sure.
00:35:02I can't stop thinking about Roman.
00:35:03But here's this hot guy completely into me.
00:35:09I should be enjoying this.
00:35:11A true gentleman.
00:35:12Hey.
00:35:19Coach.
00:35:19I saw you spiking.
00:35:21What?
00:35:22No, I didn't.
00:35:23Drink it.
00:35:29Whoa.
00:35:30Hey, man.
00:35:30Whoa.
00:35:32Rufies.
00:35:33What is that?
00:35:33You were going to put one in her drink and take her upstairs and then what?
00:35:36You think that makes you a man?
00:35:37It was a joke, coach.
00:35:38It was a joke.
00:35:39You're fucking pathetic.
00:35:40You're off the team and tomorrow you'll be expelled.
00:35:45I could have handled myself.
00:35:46I just saved your ass.
00:35:48Oh, my knight in shining armor.
00:35:50I thought we weren't supposed to be alone anymore.
00:35:52He could have raped you, okay?
00:35:54I wanted to kill him.
00:35:55Oh, so you care about me.
00:35:58Admit you care about me.
00:35:59Yes, okay?
00:36:01I care about you.
00:36:03Even when you're fencing, I cannot get you out of my brain.
00:36:06Yes.
00:36:09Tell me to stop and I will.
00:36:15Come.
00:36:16Come.
00:36:16Come.
00:36:29You sure you want to keep going?
00:36:52It's my first time.
00:36:54Oh.
00:36:55This is a really big deal, then.
00:37:02You sure you want to continue?
00:37:05Just go slow.
00:37:09Of course.
00:37:10Of course.
00:37:25You're still here.
00:37:30How else would I be?
00:37:31Or maybe I dreamt you.
00:37:34Or maybe I went too far and scared you off.
00:37:41What's this?
00:37:42An old wound.
00:37:44A mistake.
00:37:46You went to the Olympics, but you never competed.
00:37:50And then you disappeared from the circuit.
00:37:54Smart girl.
00:37:56I was young and reckless, and everybody thought I was going to take home the gold.
00:38:02The night before my bout, a rival challenged me to a private match.
00:38:08He fought dirty with a sharpened blade and cut deep into my leg.
00:38:15I was ashamed.
00:38:16And the judges never found out, and he went on to win the gold.
00:38:21I never competed again.
00:38:23Why did you fight him alone?
00:38:26Why do you support Lauren?
00:38:30Pride.
00:38:33Spite.
00:38:34To prove that I was the best.
00:38:37Don't make the same mistakes I did.
00:38:41Don't throw away your future.
00:38:43Don't throw away your future.
00:38:46Even if we just did.
00:39:00I don't regret last night.
00:39:02I hope that doesn't change.
00:39:12It's my dad.
00:39:14Melody Ashworth, come home now!
00:39:23I have to go.
00:39:29Daddy, look.
00:39:32It's not fair.
00:39:34Your sister sent me this.
00:39:36What are you doing with Coach Wright?
00:39:38Explain yourself.
00:39:39It's not what it looks like.
00:39:40It's a...
00:39:41Did you sleep with your sister's coach?
00:39:44That would constitute cheating.
00:39:46No, he walked me home.
00:39:48Nothing happened.
00:39:49Liar.
00:39:50You're in the same dress from last night.
00:39:52I bet you didn't even go back to your dorm.
00:39:55This is a disgrace.
00:39:56My own daughter compromising the integrity of the game.
00:40:01She broke the rules of the contract.
00:40:03Daddy, disqualify her.
00:40:06No, please, Dad.
00:40:07I've trained my entire life to make you proud.
00:40:10This is my chance.
00:40:11I need it.
00:40:12If you're going to fight fair, we need to remove any distractions.
00:40:16Absolutely.
00:40:16Of course.
00:40:17You will no longer train with Roman Wright.
00:40:21Furthermore, now's as good a time as any.
00:40:26Leo, our arrangement will need to begin sooner than we discussed.
00:40:33Come over.
00:40:34Dad, who's Leo?
00:40:35Yeah, who's Leo?
00:40:36What's going on?
00:40:37If Roman Wright is such a distraction to you, we need to find another outlet for your temptations.
00:40:43Someone more suitable.
00:40:46Melody, meet your fiancée.
00:40:48Pleasure.
00:41:02Pleasure.
00:41:03To meet my future wife.
00:41:05Melody, this is Leo Castellan, Olympic gold medalist.
00:41:08I was going to wait to tell you the good news about your arranged engagement.
00:41:13Leo Castellan?
00:41:14Where do I know that name from?
00:41:15Given the circumstances, Leo has agreed not only to marry you, but to take over your training as well.
00:41:21What?
00:41:22He was set to spar with Roman in the Olympics.
00:41:24He's the rival who ruined Roman's career.
00:41:26Oh, you've got to be kidding me.
00:41:28Dad, I don't want a fiancée.
00:41:31Either accept Leo or forfeit your place in the world.
00:41:35My decision is final.
00:41:37I guess you two are so cute together.
00:41:39Don't worry, princess.
00:41:45I've been waiting to get my hands on you.
00:41:48Then it's settled.
00:41:49I thought you overslept.
00:41:58I barely slept.
00:42:01Drills will wake you up.
00:42:02What'd your dad want?
00:42:04The thought of losing Roman makes me want to cry.
00:42:06I have to find a way out of this engagement.
00:42:08Just family stuff.
00:42:09You're looking a little stiff.
00:42:29What did last night kind of wear you out?
00:42:31No.
00:42:32Just the opposite.
00:42:38Melody.
00:42:40Enjoying your last training session with your washed-up coach?
00:42:45What the hell are you doing on my campus?
00:42:47Just picking up my fiancée.
00:42:50You didn't tell me.
00:42:51You know, Roman, it happened so fast.
00:42:52Wait, wait, wait.
00:42:53Did you know about this when we were...
00:42:55No.
00:42:57Forget it.
00:42:58Congratulations to the both of you.
00:43:01No.
00:43:02Roman, wait.
00:43:03What could you possibly have to say to me right now?
00:43:07You lied to me.
00:43:08You don't understand my dad.
00:43:10Your father would be disappointed that you're still wasting time here.
00:43:16I get it.
00:43:18Just like a means to an end, huh?
00:43:21And here I thought that an Ashworth was capable of more than just playing games.
00:43:28No, Roman.
00:43:29He's just mad because he knows he's not good enough for you.
00:43:32As a fencer or a man.
00:43:34Don't worry.
00:43:35I've got you now.
00:43:36Don't touch me.
00:43:37Don't be stupid, Melody.
00:43:39Without me, you can kiss your family fortune goodbye.
00:43:43I'd rather die than marry you.
00:43:47Don't say no to me.
00:43:48Nobody says no to me.
00:43:53I just did.
00:43:58You're going to regret that, princess.
00:44:00Yes.
00:44:01Oh.
00:44:02Oh.
00:44:11Hi.
00:44:14So, you found out the truth about Melody?
00:44:18I bet you guys care more about your legacy than the feelings of actual human beings.
00:44:27Was that a line?
00:44:29You're still my student.
00:44:34Well, I can be more than just your student.
00:44:41I mean, come on.
00:44:43Melody, Melody is way beneath you.
00:44:46You deserve to be with a real champion.
00:44:51Like me.
00:45:01You're no champion.
00:45:03You've coasted on your name and neglected your duties to your team.
00:45:06Here's a tip.
00:45:08Spend more time on fencing and less on inappropriate suspension-worthy behavior.
00:45:11I'll see you at practice, Ms. Ashworth.
00:45:16Oh, Clifton.
00:45:37You do things my husband would never dare.
00:45:41Does he know anything about us?
00:45:43He won't find out as long as you do that favor I asked for.
00:45:49Anything for you.
00:45:50My mother is having an affair with the university president?
00:46:02Whoa, you're sleeping with President Clifton?
00:46:04Shh, you saw nothing.
00:46:07Got it?
00:46:07Dad deserves to know.
00:46:08He won't believe a word from his scandal-ridden daughter.
00:46:12You already lost his trust.
00:46:14Once you had your little fling with Coach, right?
00:46:17Mom!
00:46:19How could you?
00:46:20We'll all be better off.
00:46:22Once Lauren wins and you're no longer our problem.
00:46:26If you say a word,
00:46:28your tuition vanishes.
00:46:32Got it?
00:46:32Robin thinks I used him and my mom's cheating on my dad
00:46:44and if I don't marry Leo, I'm going to lose everything.
00:46:48You're going to win the championships
00:46:50and your mom is going to eat her words
00:46:51and then you can divorce Leo's crusty ass promise.
00:46:54I can't marry him.
00:46:56Holy shit.
00:47:03The school's exclusive fencing society
00:47:05invited us to join.
00:47:06Tonight.
00:47:07This is your perfect chance to fix things with Roman.
00:47:10He won't talk to me.
00:47:12It's no good.
00:47:14He risked his career for you.
00:47:18I'm going to fix your makeup.
00:47:20We're going.
00:47:26What is Leo doing here?
00:47:40What kind of fencing society is this?
00:47:42Well, he's alumni, right?
00:47:43He's probably just a member.
00:47:45Hey, don't worry.
00:47:46I'm going to look out for you, okay?
00:47:48One minute to me, John, please.
00:47:56Stop.
00:47:59Attention, champions.
00:48:03I'm Leo Castellan,
00:48:05president of the Luna University Elite Fencing Society.
00:48:08You're all here because you are the best.
00:48:11Well, most of you.
00:48:14How about we kick off tonight's festivities
00:48:18with a little game of skill?
00:48:20Who knows how to play strip points?
00:48:23I thought that game was banned.
00:48:25It's like a strip tease in dual form.
00:48:27Get the shirt off your opponent
00:48:29without touching their skin.
00:48:30If you're good, it should be easy.
00:48:34But if not, I guess we'll see.
00:48:36Their shirt or their dress?
00:48:40The loser owes the winner a favor.
00:48:45Melody Ashworth.
00:48:47Care to help me demonstrate?
00:48:49Since you're so eager to take your clothes off,
00:48:52maybe I should go first?
00:48:56Okay, princess.
00:48:58But if you lose, I get an hour with you.
00:49:01Whatever I want.
00:49:02Whatever I want.
00:49:02Oh, this is gonna be so good.
00:49:19Good thing I never touch your body
00:49:21with a ten-foot pole.
00:49:23I just have to get his shirt off
00:49:24without touching him.
00:49:25Focus.
00:49:26Focus.
00:49:26Focus.
00:49:32That's a touch.
00:49:44Bummer.
00:49:45And she chokes.
00:49:47Classic Melody.
00:49:48Always screw it up.
00:49:50You moved.
00:49:51Now, now.
00:49:52Don't be a sore loser.
00:49:55Why don't we talk about that favor you owe me?
00:49:57I can do whatever I want with you.
00:50:08What do you say we go upstairs?
00:50:09You can make me forget about how you humiliated me.
00:50:12Okay, this is done.
00:50:13I saw you cheat.
00:50:15Well, that's quite the accusation.
00:50:17Coming from the guy who didn't bother
00:50:18to show his face at our Olympic bout.
00:50:20I guess those who can't do teach.
00:50:24She's not going anywhere with you.
00:50:25Oh, really?
00:50:26You're going to put your blade behind that?
00:50:28You want to bow?
00:50:29Right now?
00:50:30Oh, look.
00:50:31Roman Wright protecting his pathetic little pet.
00:50:34How cute.
00:50:35You.
00:50:36Me.
00:50:37Real blades.
00:50:38No mask.
00:50:39No gear.
00:50:40Just skill.
00:50:42If you win,
00:50:44I'll forego Melody's favor to me.
00:50:47He's beating him into another unsafe fight.
00:50:49Roman could get hurt.
00:50:51Coach Wright,
00:50:53I'm fine.
00:50:56Let's finish this now.
00:50:59But on my terms,
00:51:01full gear,
00:51:02official rules.
00:51:04How it was supposed to be.
00:51:06Sure.
00:51:08Wouldn't want you getting hurt.
00:51:16Roman, he's dangerous.
00:51:18Don't do it.
00:51:19Welcome to the big league, sweetheart.
00:51:21Watch and learn.
00:51:22Best out of three.
00:51:24Unless you forfeit.
00:51:26Not to you.
00:51:27Ever again.
00:51:28Coach Wright's in the lead.
00:51:46I won.
00:51:51We done here?
00:52:02I won.
00:52:16We done here?
00:52:19I never lose.
00:52:23No!
00:52:24No!
00:52:24Stop!
00:52:25You're awful!
00:52:26I'm the best in the world,
00:52:27and I'm going to take what's mine.
00:52:28Get off of her!
00:52:29Oh!
00:52:32That was a huge mistake, Wright.
00:52:35I'm going to destroy whatever's left of your career.
00:52:38Come on.
00:52:38We're leaving.
00:52:39Oh, that was way better than I thought.
00:52:51Here, let me.
00:52:54You've done enough.
00:52:56He put his hands on you.
00:52:58I had no choice.
00:52:59I had to protect you,
00:53:00and I lost control.
00:53:02You fought your rival.
00:53:05The man who ruined your life.
00:53:07And you won.
00:53:11Yeah, I did, didn't I?
00:53:15I was thinking about you the whole time.
00:53:17You don't want to be with him?
00:53:18I tried to tell you my family forced me to be with Leo.
00:53:22But I hate him.
00:53:26I'm falling for you.
00:53:31I'm falling for you, Roman, right?
00:53:34I know I shouldn't.
00:53:35And I've tried to forget you.
00:53:37But I can't.
00:53:40I've never felt this way before.
00:53:44You're reckless.
00:53:47Falling for the guy that just by touching you could lose everything.
00:53:51And all I want to do is touch you and hold you and love you.
00:53:55When I thought you left me for Leo,
00:54:00I thought that everything we had was a lie.
00:54:02And that I lost the biggest treasure of my life.
00:54:06With my leg and within my fencing career.
00:54:10I could never lie to you.
00:54:12Not about how I feel.
00:54:16I love you.
00:54:16I love you, too.
00:54:25I love you.
00:54:26I love you.
00:54:26I love you, too.
00:54:27June, what is it?
00:54:49I was sleeping.
00:54:50Check your socials.
00:54:51It's really bad.
00:54:52Wait, wait, wait!
00:54:53What is going on?
00:55:18I'm going to go to the school and I will take full responsibility.
00:55:22I'll resign and I'll tell them that it was completely on me.
00:55:25No!
00:55:26If the video had the part where Leo forced himself on me, people would understand.
00:55:31No, people see what they want to see, okay?
00:55:33I'm not letting you throw your future away from me.
00:55:35Well, I'm not letting you sacrifice yourself for saving me.
00:55:40President Clifton, he wants to see us in an hour.
00:55:48If you promise me I won't lose you.
00:55:54Is it true?
00:56:06My employee assaulted an Olympic alumnus and then took a student home?
00:56:13The press is banging on our doors.
00:56:16It is a scandal.
00:56:18And Miss Ashworth, your family's reputation and fencing accolades have built this university.
00:56:25You've let us all down.
00:56:27President Clifton, you deserve the truth.
00:56:31That night I...
00:56:32I...
00:56:33...took advantage of Miss Ashworth, sir.
00:56:36My temper got the better of me and I'm sorry.
00:56:39She's completely innocent.
00:56:41Roman, Coach Wright, that's not the full story.
00:56:45Coach Wright, you're fired.
00:56:49And you are lucky if the Ashworth family and the Castellano estate don't press charges.
00:56:54You can't fire him.
00:56:55He's the best coach you've ever had.
00:56:56He cares and she...
00:56:57Miss Ashworth, don't make me change my mind and expel you.
00:57:01It's been an honor serving this university, sir.
00:57:06I'll go pack my things.
00:57:15Roman Wright, don't walk away from me.
00:57:17We have to fight this.
00:57:18It's over, Miss Ashworth.
00:57:20I'm sorry.
00:57:22I heard they fired that sicko, Roman.
00:57:34I wonder who the new coach is?
00:57:36I don't know, but he better be hot.
00:57:39Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to practice.
00:57:44Since Mr. Wright was sacked due to misconduct, I'll be your new coach.
00:57:51And I quit.
00:57:59Bye-bye.
00:58:15I'm here for practice, Coach.
00:58:18I'm not your coach anymore.
00:58:20Well, you said it yourself.
00:58:22If I'm going to win, I need to work harder than everyone else.
00:58:25Which means I need the best coach.
00:58:31Great.
00:58:32Yeah.
00:58:33Oh, wow.
00:58:34Stand up.
00:58:35You got it?
00:58:36You're doing it.
00:58:37You're doing it.
00:58:38No!
00:58:39Oh, my God.
00:58:40You're almost ready.
00:58:41I better be, because my dad's furious.
00:58:42Well, since I'm technically no longer your coach anymore, how about a lunch date?
00:58:54Oh.
00:58:55Oh.
00:58:56Leo deserved that bloody nose.
00:58:57You've got to teach me how to punch like that.
00:58:59Absolutely not.
00:59:00You're dangerous enough as a fencer.
00:59:01Besides, I don't want anything hurting this perfect face.
00:59:04What's wrong?
00:59:05The competition's in a few days.
00:59:06And even when Lauren's not cheating, she's good.
00:59:07I might lose her still only one.
00:59:08I'm like to horser.
00:59:09You'rené?
00:59:22You're going touggle sinceALD1 and you're never wet.
00:59:23And besides, I don't want anything hurting this perfect face.
00:59:29What's wrong?
00:59:31The competition's in a few days.
00:59:33And even when Lauren's not cheating, she's good.
00:59:35I might lose.
00:59:37You won't. You're better.
00:59:39I'm serious.
00:59:42And after chasing after you, if I lose,
00:59:45with all the chaos I caused, I might lose more than my parents' support.
00:59:48It might be my scholarship. I'd be out on the streets.
00:59:52For the rest of my life, I will always be there for you.
00:59:56Even if you lose, which you won't,
00:59:59you will always have a place to stay
01:00:01and someone fighting in your corner.
01:00:03I promise you.
01:00:07What?
01:00:08You have soy sauce on your nose.
01:00:10Oh, my God.
01:00:11What, did I get it?
01:00:12Yes.
01:00:18I just realized something.
01:00:20Hmm.
01:00:21I can't lose everything if I have you.
01:00:30Honored students, faculty, alumni.
01:00:33Many great fencing champions have arisen from these halls.
01:00:37A handful of them bear the Ashworth name.
01:00:40My daughters have trained to be the best, just as their forefathers did.
01:00:45Judging their bout today, I welcome President Clifton.
01:00:54The Ashworth legacy bout is not just a match.
01:00:58It illustrates the pride and history of our university.
01:01:02And the past few weeks have seen some tribulations.
01:01:06So, today, we begin our match with good, clean fencing.
01:01:12I'm surprised I let Roman show up.
01:01:14I hope he likes watching you lose.
01:01:16I hope you like fencing without bribing the judges.
01:01:19Go.
01:01:20Aguard.
01:01:21Prey.
01:01:22Go.
01:01:23Go.
01:01:24Go.
01:01:25Point, Melanie.
01:01:28Point, Lauren.
01:01:33Point.
01:01:37Point, Melanie.
01:01:38Point, Lauren.
01:01:39No one in!
01:01:44Point, Lauren!
01:01:49Four, four.
01:01:50One point left, this decides the match.
01:01:53En garde.
01:01:54Great?
01:01:56Allez!
01:02:05Point, Lauren Ashworth, the match is over!
01:02:09That wasn't clean!
01:02:12Miss Melody Ashworth, the bout is over. You lost.
01:02:15You shouldn't be judging at all. Your word means nothing.
01:02:18What did you just say?
01:02:20You're having an affair with my mother. That makes you unfit to judge this match.
01:02:25That is a dangerous and baseless accusation.
01:02:28After I saw you having an affair with my mother?
01:02:30What the fuck are you talking about? Just admit it.
01:02:32You lost on your side.
01:02:35I did some digging.
01:02:36Lauren and I never looked alike, even for fraternal twins.
01:02:39I found some hospital records in my mom's room.
01:02:43What?
01:02:46I tried.
01:02:47I don't know.
01:02:48I don't know.
01:02:53They state that Lauren is not my daughter and that she was born a year after...
01:02:58After Melody, how can...
01:02:59How can...
01:03:00You went abroad and taught fencing for two years while I was pregnant.
01:03:04Clifton was there for me when you weren't.
01:03:06I had the children. I forged the hospital documents to make them twins.
01:03:11You came back and you didn't even notice.
01:03:14I only want Lauren to have the rightful place in this family.
01:03:18Agnes, I won't lie for you anymore. I'll give you your money back. Lauren cheated.
01:03:23Lauren cheated.
01:03:24You paid the university president so I'd win?
01:03:27No, honey, no.
01:03:28What the fuck, Mom? I'm better than this!
01:03:30No!
01:03:31Not only is President Clifton an unfit judge, but Lauren is not my blood daughter.
01:03:38Melody, you win by default.
01:03:39No.
01:03:40Congratulations.
01:03:41No!
01:03:43Wait, I still want to fight for my legacy. We'll go again if she promises not to cheat.
01:03:50I'll judge.
01:03:52Lauren may not be my blood daughter, but I did raise you both.
01:03:56And I'm the true Ashworth heir.
01:03:59And I'm gonna fucking prove it, bitch.
01:04:04Go, Melody!
01:04:07Just stay focused. Remember your strategy.
01:04:08Engarde!
01:04:09You've leeched on this family for way too long. I earned this legacy.
01:04:13Then shut up and prove it.
01:04:14All right?
01:04:15I didn't have to give you a second chance.
01:04:17Unlike you, I have honor and standards.
01:04:19Allez!
01:04:29And the final point goes to...
01:04:32Melody!
01:04:33No! No!
01:04:35This is fair! I deserve to win!
01:04:36Don't worry.
01:04:38I'll make sure you're taken care of.
01:04:39Even though I know you won't do the same for me.
01:04:44George.
01:04:46This was a mistake.
01:04:47I still love you.
01:04:49We're getting a divorce.
01:04:59I'm so proud of you.
01:05:00Mr. Wright, I clearly misjudged your situation and I have obviously been a hypocrite.
01:05:10I fired Leo Castellan and if you'd like, I'd be happy to give you your old job back.
01:05:15Apology accepted, but I'm not interested in being a university coach anymore.
01:05:20There's only one world-class fencer that I want to train for the rest of my life if she'll put up with me.
01:05:30And then if I'm lucky, one day when she graduates and maybe wins an Olympic gold medal, I'll put a ring on her finger.
01:05:36What do you think about that, Miss Ashworth?
01:05:37Let me think about it, coach.
01:05:43Yes, I will.
01:05:45I love you.
01:05:46I love you too.
01:05:47I love you too.
