00:09I was stopped in London when I felt it coming down
00:15Crushing all around me with a great triumphant sound
00:44It's a Cinderella return to the ice for Adriana Russo with new partner Brayden Elliott
00:50Already being called the hottest couple on ice
00:58Ice dance is so simple compared to what we do.
01:02No jumps, please.
01:04Yeah, but it's twice as hot.
01:05It's not just on the ice.
01:06Did you see what Adriana got up to after hours?
01:23She's going to worlds with this routine.
01:26You don't agree?
01:28That article may count against them.
01:31Frasier wrote a real hit piece.
01:34Skating Federation doesn't like dirty laundry hung out over the ice.
01:37And they may mark them down just because...
01:40Because what?
01:41Because they can, Will.
01:46You can really feel the connection between these two.
01:56They've not made a single misstep in this routine.
01:59They're sure to qualify for worlds.
02:01It's weird watching her with Brayden.
02:03Always thought she'd get back with Freddy.
02:05And, you know, they'd be like, together, together.
02:07Well, I mean, but Brayden's a total catch.
02:10Yeah, I'd catch him.
02:11Shh!
02:12Children.
02:14Brayden has a rep for a reason.
02:23Brayden has a rep for a reason.
02:25This time I know I'm back in my body.
02:31I'm back in my body.
02:34Oh, oh.
02:37Oh, oh.
02:38Woo!
02:40Woo!
02:43Woo!
02:45Woo!
02:46Woo!
02:46Woo!
02:47Woo!
02:48Woo!
02:49Woo!
02:59Ready?
03:02Beyond.
03:04That was incredible.
03:07Skated last night.
03:11Okay.
03:13Okay, Miss Bucket, showing us how it's done.
03:16Thanks, Rouse.
03:18Flawless.
03:19Flawless.
03:19Really?
03:20Great skate, Adi.
03:22Amazing monster.
03:25So good.
03:27Thanks, Dad.
03:28I had my doubts,
03:29but I never bet against Camille.
03:31That's good.
03:32Monroe and O'Connor, prepare to take the ice.
03:35Okay, guys. This is your moment.
03:37Thanks, Dad.
03:44Stop.
03:48For Adriana Russo and Blake Elliott,
03:51a combined score of 89.27.
03:57That's a solid score.
04:03Russo and Elliott in second place
04:05behind the Vulture Skaters.
04:07Wait, they deserve a much higher score than that.
04:10This is not good.
04:11It's almost as if the judges are sending them a message.
04:14Wait your turn.
04:16Or don't gossip to magazines.
04:32Hey, second place is enough to qualify.
04:35Only if they have a bad skate.
05:02I've waited a hundred years.
05:07I'd wait a mean more for you.
05:18Look, I thought, yeah, I'm totally Team Freddy.
05:21No way. Team Brayden all the way.
05:24Yeah, but only one Russo pair is going to qualify for Worlds.
05:27Someone passed the awkward sauce.
05:42Monroe and O'Connell recently switched coaches to join Camille Saint-Denis at Russo Rink.
05:46A move that's clearly paying off your qualifiers.
05:49They may knock their teammates out of a qualifying position.
05:57Woo!
06:02Woo!
06:06Woo!
06:07Woo!
06:08Woo!
06:09Woo!
06:10Woo!
06:16Woo!
06:17Woo!
06:18Freddy!
06:18Woo!
06:22Woo!
06:22You don't need to be so enthusiastic.
06:24My teammates and my friends.
06:32Miss Seesaw crushing it!
06:35It's so good.
06:37Amazing.
06:38Beautiful humans.
06:41Thanks.
06:42Come on.
06:49Beautiful.
06:50Yeah, feels good.
06:51All right.
07:02That puts the pair in second place to qualify for Worlds, behind Sean and Destiny from Voltage.
07:08These are all kinds of bad.
07:09beating out Adriana Russo and Brayden Elliott, who will not advance to Worlds.
07:13who wants to be so good?
07:13Come on.
07:16Come on.
07:18Come on.
07:21Come on.
07:21Come on.
07:24Come on.
07:35Okay.
07:40That article killed our scores.
07:42I warned you about doing that interview, but you wouldn't listen to me.
07:45Leon, you're blaming me.
07:47God, why did your family just keep their mouth shut?
07:50Judges hate that stuff.
07:51Don't make this about my family.
07:52No, they're more like a cult of personality.
07:55Yeah, the legendary Will Russo.
07:56Yeah, he could do no wrong, am I right?
07:58You're the one with the reputation, bud.
08:00What?
08:00The bad boy of figure skating?
08:02Or are you just a bad loser?
08:04You were supposed to be good for my reputation, not sink my entire season!
08:09Our season!
08:10Do you have any idea how hard I had to work to be here?
08:13I had other options.
08:14Maybe I still do.
08:16Voltage was offering me a pick of partners.
08:19Anything I ever wanted.
08:24Hey.
08:25Hey, don't throw this away.
08:27Brayden, we are good together, remember?
08:30Yeah.
08:32Yeah, we were.
08:36Just not good enough.
08:38Brayden.
08:40Brayden!
08:47Brayden!
08:49What the hell is this?
08:51A distraction.
08:53To keep her mind off that article?
08:54I was very clear about my conditions.
08:56You don't follow my rules.
08:57You can't skate up my rink.
08:58Fine.
08:59We didn't qualify anyway.
09:00It's over.
09:02Just like your pathetic dynasty.
09:20Oh, sweetheart.
09:25I thought we had it.
09:26I know.
09:27I know.
09:28I know.
09:29Sometimes the judging just doesn't go our way.
09:32But we can rebuild.
09:33And next season you'll have a whole runway to train on.
09:37And with everything you...
09:37Brayden's gone.
09:39Will, what did you do?
09:42Me?
09:43He had her out last night till God knows when, making out at a club caught on camera.
09:47What did you know about that?
09:48It's all over the internet, Aidy.
09:50Brayden, hottest couple on ice.
09:52What did you say to him?
09:53I just reminded him of the rules.
09:55You want to train at Russo rink, you gotta follow my rules.
09:56You sabotaged me!
09:58What?
10:00You persuaded me to leave Freddy.
10:03And now you've chased off my only real chance at a medal.
10:06That's not fair.
10:07No, it's not.
10:08You never believed in me.
10:10Not like Elise.
10:11And now I've got no one to skate with.
10:14So, so now what?
10:16I go back to managing your rink?
10:20And you let it slide into bankruptcy?
10:25It's a good thing Mom is not here.
10:28She'd be ashamed of you.
10:40Never been a dreamer until I met you.
10:47Made me a believer of all the things you do.
11:01How am I the bad guy here?
11:03You're the father of teenage girls.
11:05That's basically the job description.
11:07I can't seem to get it right.
11:09But I'm getting it wrong every single day.
11:12Well, if you're not failing, you're not trying.
11:16That's my line, Coach.
11:20The more I try to hang on to them, the more they pull away.
11:24Well, they're walking away from you with every step.
11:28And you know, that's as it should be.
11:31They have to become independent young women.
11:35Your girls are doing it in skates.
11:37So it's going to feel a whole lot faster.
11:40Right.
11:41They don't need you to be their coach, Will.
11:45They need you to be their dad.
11:47You think she's right?
11:50Would Sarah be ashamed?
11:57Before Sarah died, right near the end, she asked me to stay in your lives.
12:05To look out after the girls and you.
12:09And I promised her I would.
12:11And while there have been days where keeping that promise has had its challenges,
12:18the one thing I have never questioned, Will, is how much you love your girls.
12:27And how proud Sarah would be of you.
12:36Because here's the thing, Will.
12:37I mean, you're not raising kids.
12:39You're raising adults.
12:41And you have to let them go through everything
12:45in a safe, loving space that you provide
12:50so they can come out on the other side as women worthy of Sarah Russo's lineage.
13:18To be an Italian writer.
13:20What do I have to show you for?
13:21And, to be a Josvin Smith.
13:25You're not there.
13:49team russo next stop paris yep congratulations to sean and destiny and to o'connell and monroe

19:18Oh, no, it's nothing. It's just...
19:22What? A misunderstanding?
19:26Like with the cars? How could you be so reckless?
19:29You said you're putting every cent we have into the rink.
19:33But at what cost?
19:34I'm holding it together, okay?
19:35You and your sisters are going to get sponsorships.
19:37Do you even hear yourself?
19:40I didn't qualify.
19:43Elise can't even look at the ice,
19:44and Maria is years away from any medal that matters.
19:46We're Russos. We're champions.
19:48We overcome whatever it takes.
19:49Stop! Dad, stop with the slogans.
19:54It's not helping.
19:57Please, Adriana, please.
20:01Come to the gala.
20:03Give us a chance.
20:06I need this.
20:10We need this.
20:29I'm feeling good, got that fresh energy.
20:32Don't worry about it, don't worry about seeing me.
20:36We'll be all right, just feel that dopamine away.
20:39Don't worry about it, don't worry about it.
20:44Don't worry about it.
20:52From Russo Rink, Freddie O'Connell and Riley Monroe,
20:57ice dancers heading to Worlds.
21:01I can't believe he skates at Russo after they threw him out.
21:04So humiliating.
21:06And next from Russo rink, ice dancers Adriana Russo and Brayden Elliott.
21:12Or as the press are calling them, Bray-driana.
21:25Looks like somebody got stood up.
21:27Poor little nipple baby.
21:29Poor little nipple baby.
21:38God, the nerve of him to show his face here.
21:41Sometimes people make mistakes.
21:48And next are single skaters from Russo rink.
21:51Katya Belikova, Ben Wu, and JJ Harmon heading to Worlds.
21:59Is it weird to not have an entrance this time?
22:02It's fine.
22:08I just want to remind everybody that this is about marrying sponsors with athletes.
22:12We've got some wonderful sponsors tonight.
22:14You don't get to do this.
22:16Just show up like nothing happened.
22:18I know.
22:18You walked out on me and then you ghosted me.
22:20I just needed some time.
22:22I needed a real partner.
22:24I am so sorry for everything.
22:26I honestly thought that we had a chance and then everything came crashing down.
22:30I don't want to hear it.
22:32You dropped me and then you blamed my family.
22:36God, I can't believe I ever kissed you.
22:39You need to come clean to Adriana.
22:42She's going to find out it was you that said all that stuff to the journalist.
22:47What I need is another drink.
22:56We trained the rest of this season.
22:59Okay, and then next year we'll go to Worlds.
23:01You mean you couldn't find another partner now that the season's starting?
23:04No.
23:06I have never skated with anyone like you.
23:10I have never felt anything real like this.
23:15Tell you what, I'll get your team our full product line.
23:19That'd be great.
23:19And I'll drop it off personally.
23:21Excuse us.
23:23Save it, Will.
23:25He made a fool out of me in front of my client.
23:27Michael was furious about that unbelievable stunt Maria pulled.
23:31I don't know what to say.
23:32How about I'm sorry?
23:35I'm not going to apologize for my girls.
23:38Not ever.
23:40And your client is a creep.
23:41My girls are elite athletes.
23:43Not party favors.
23:48Ice dance is about connection.
23:50And you made me feel it for real.
23:51That is worth everything.
23:52The answer is no.
23:53Adriana, please just listen to me.
23:55I have done enough listening.
23:56Hey, you listen.
23:57I heard her say no.
23:58So that means back off and skate into the sunset.
24:03Or what?
24:08Or what, bro?
24:09Or nothing.
24:10Freddy, I don't need you to defend my honor.
24:12And Brayden, I don't need to repeat myself.
24:14She's my partner, not yours.
24:16Was.
24:16Partner.
24:17You dumped her after a perfect skate.
24:19That's not a partnership.
24:20That's psychotic.
24:21Boys, boys, you were ice dancers, not hockey players.
24:25Sorry, Riles.
24:27Charity case knows who sharpens his skates.
24:29All right, outside.
24:30Now.
24:31What, you want a duel?
24:32Honestly, can you two be any more?
24:34There they are.
24:36Two of the most exciting ice dance pairs on the circuit.
24:40Hi.
24:41Erica Marlowe, vice president of branding at Halo Vela.
24:44Oh, that's my favorite workout gear.
24:45Oh.
24:46She's looking for a couple to sponsor.
24:49Adriana Russo.
24:50I know.
24:51That photo of you two in the club, it's the essence of passion.
24:56It's what I love about ice dance.
24:58It's sensual, intense, passionate.
25:01And nothing sells high-end athletic wear like passion.
25:05Halo Vela's looking for a pair to, uh, how did you put it?
25:09Convert passion into purchase.
25:11There you go.
25:12I think we can help with that.
25:15Now we got plenty of passion.
25:22Sorry.
25:23Excuse me.
25:29Hey.
25:31Was that Freddie and Brayden I saw almost coming to blows?
25:34Kind of hot.
25:34No, it was idiotic.
25:35They were just being big, stupid boys.
25:37Yeah, well, the world is full of those, sis.
25:40What kind of time you figured that out?
25:42Are you drunk?
25:43No.
25:44Oh, not yet.
25:46Please.
25:46Oh, come on.
25:47It's not like I'm the one on display here.
25:50These sponsors want champions.
25:52Not couples that can't even qualify.
25:54But you're going to go to Worlds.
25:56It'll, you know, just be next year.
25:58I may not be a next year.
25:59Dad was counting on that article.
26:02Adi, um, I'm the one who said all those things in the article.
26:10What?
26:14Lise, how could you?
26:15I was hurt.
26:16No, I, I had just been tossed aside like a pair of ripped tights and there you were parading
26:24around like, or like me, and I, we needed that, Lise.
26:32I needed that to work and you ruined it for me.
26:35I said I'm sorry.
26:36No, you didn't actually.
26:37But I guess that's not your vibe.
26:40But I am.
26:42Adi, I am sorry.
26:46Just I, I don't really know who I am right now.
26:53I mean, you're the star of Russo Rink, at least in Dad's eyes.
26:56I didn't want that.
26:57Like hell, you didn't.
27:00Like hell, you didn't.
27:02You may be a middle child, but you're still a Russo.
27:07You love the spotlight just as much as I do.
27:09I can see it in your eyes.
27:12The only difference between me and you is that I'm woman enough to admit it.
27:16So don't deny it.
27:19Own it.
27:20What do you want me to say?
27:21That you're right?
27:24Fine, I love it.
27:25I do, but it's too late now.
27:28I didn't qualify.
27:29You were on fire out there, but the judges marked you down because of what I said.
27:36It's you who should be going to Worlds, not fromage on ice.
27:44Don't make me laugh.
27:45I'm mad at you.
27:48You guys didn't warn me.
27:49This would be so cringe.
27:52Yeah, it is kind of weird, isn't it?
27:54I guess I'm just a little desensitized to it.
27:58You know, it's kind of like my Jane Austen project.
28:01A grand ball to match beauty and money.
28:03I can't believe we haven't evolved since the Regency era.
28:09So, tell me what's so unique about you, Catherine.
28:13Um, it's Katsu.
28:16And unlike these other girls, I have international appeal.
28:21Picked up a little tension with your ice dancers.
28:24Yeah, there's a lot of that going around.
28:26Everything okay at the ranch?
28:30I'm running the rink into the ground.
28:32My girls are all over the place.
28:34Sometimes I feel like Sarah must be looking down, shouting, stop messing it all up.
28:38Raising teenagers ought to be an Olympic sport, Will.
28:42You gotta give yourself a break.
28:43A break is one thing I need.
28:47The bank's closing in, Charles.
28:49I'm gonna lose the rink.
28:51Sarah's legacy.
28:55Are you sure that's her legacy?
29:04You know, I used to love when Mom would bring me to these things.
29:07I'm so excited to meet the athletes I'd only ever seen at the Olympics.
29:10Well, you'll be one too, Lise.
29:22What's going on?
29:24They're cheating.
29:27Why are they leaving?
29:30Really?
29:31Yeah, they were cheating.
29:32Press release just went out.
29:34Sean and Destiny are disqualified.
29:36They've been doping all season.
29:37Finally got caught.
29:39Is this for real?
29:43I got this.
29:48Everyone, I can confirm the rumors are true.
29:52The Voltage Ice Dance team has been disqualified.
29:56Which means Adriana Russo and Brayden Elliott are heading to Worlds.
30:01The hottest couple on ice.
30:08And ladies and gentlemen, they're here.
30:11Awaiting your sponsorship.
30:13Ready to make your brands the hottest products in the market.
30:28We're going nowhere else.
30:29We're going nowhere else?
30:30Yeah.
30:31Don't you ever lock it on me again.
30:32I won't.
30:33I promise.
30:43We should talk.
30:51There can only be one winner at Worlds.
30:53Are you cool with that?
30:55To be Brayden Elliott?
30:58Yeah.
30:59Very cool.
31:02Come on.
31:05Here's the deal.
31:07I need that sponsorship to save the rink.
31:10And you need a partner.
31:11That marketing lady said that passion sells.
31:14And she wants a couple.
31:16So as much as I don't want to do this.
31:20Let's give her one.
31:21Hottest couple on ice?
31:22And off.
31:23But only for show.
31:25We pretend to be a couple.
31:26Sell the passion.
31:28So we can land the deal.
31:31Just pretend.
31:32We need ground rules.
31:33Consent, of course.
31:36I'm in charge.
31:37Yes.
31:38Yes, you very much are.
31:41We can hold hands.
31:44But no more touching than what we do on the ice.
31:50Kissing?
31:50On the cheek.
31:51When I say it's okay.
31:52No more than that.
31:55I'm not making that mistake again.
31:56Didn't feel like a mistake at the time.
31:58We can't date other people.
31:59Oh my god.
32:00It'll shatter the illusion.
32:02We definitely can't tell Elise.
32:04She cannot keep a secret.
32:06No.
32:06Adriana.
32:08Everybody's looking for you two.
32:09What are you doing in here?
32:10Or do I not want to know?
32:11No, no, go on.
32:13Tell her your evil genius plan.
32:15You're in charge, right?
32:32Excuse me.
32:36Does that kid not understand the word behave?
32:38Put down the shotgun.
32:40It's all for show.
32:41Adriana thinks she can land an endorsement if they look like a real couple.
32:45A lie.
32:46A fantasy.
32:49We ask these athletes to pretend to be in love for a routine that lasts for three minutes.
32:52Is that lying or storytelling?
32:56I don't know.
32:57Yes, you do.
32:58You and Sarah struck gold when you won gold.
33:01People bought into the fantasy.
33:03They fell in love with the two of you because the two of you fell in love with each other.
33:09Just for show.
33:16Piper and Paul.
33:17Hi.
33:18You guys are such an inspiration.
33:20I have watched your free dance like a thousand times.
33:23That's true.
33:24Well, congratulations to both of you, really.
33:26It's an honor and a privilege to go to Worlds.
33:28Any advice for us?
33:32Trust each other.
33:34Trust is the foundation for everything in this sport.
33:41All right.
33:42Good luck.
33:43Yeah, fine.
33:45That was crazy.
33:46That was horrible.
33:47Hey, give us girls a second?
33:49Yeah, of course.
33:52We're going to Worlds.
33:53We're going to Worlds.
33:55Just like we always talked about.
33:57But you know the press are going to try and make a thing about us.
33:59Create a rivalry.
34:00They always pit women against each other.
34:02Let's not let that happen.
34:04Excuse me.
34:07Best friends.
34:08Going to Worlds.
34:11So first you dumped my sister.
34:14And now you want to date her?
34:17What gives Brayden Elliot?
34:19I could say it's complicated, but it's actually pretty simple.
34:22You know?
34:23Two people are so close.
34:24Sometimes it can get hot.
34:26Got to cool off.
34:27We have.
34:28We're good.
34:29We're back.
34:29And we're a thing.
34:32I don't buy it.
34:36I'm not radioactive.
34:38Look, Elise.
34:38We had fun.
34:40But that's not going to happen again.
34:49What I was thinking.
34:52This is the jam right here.
34:53All right.
34:54Come on.
34:5550-year.
35:19It's a sunset kind of dry.
35:23And the golden tap.
35:32I'm gonna put you in your place, no, you won't forget the space
35:38I'm gonna have the type of night that you always fantasize
35:42Yeah, we're gonna do it right
35:45Cuz I wanna write
35:54Baby, hey, have you seen Freddy?
35:56He's missing all the fun
35:58Hey, let's find him, look up
36:11Mind if I join you?
36:12It's cold
36:14Yeah, well, it's a little too hot in there
36:19That's for sure
36:23Here
36:24You don't have to
36:25Aw, come on
36:33Thanks
36:33Yeah
36:41I used to watch you, you know
36:44When I was at the rink before
36:47I would watch you from the back
36:49Twirling
36:51Training
36:53Throwing yourself in the air like you had a contempt for gravity
36:58It was amazing to see you perfect a routine
37:02It inspired me to be better
37:05Work harder
37:08Work
37:10I'm sorry that you don't get to go to worlds
37:13You're a star
37:14Elise
37:15And the whole universe should see you shine
37:19It's the nicest thing anyone said to me in a really long time
37:23You're hanging out with the wrong people then
37:29I don't think this is a good idea
37:30Well, I'm done with good ideas
37:32Did I find out
37:35What I need
37:38I can't break you
37:45You're wrong with your life
37:47You won and you're right
37:50I paid for your price
37:53I paid for your price
37:55You try for four hours
37:57You're wrong with your life
37:58You weigh on what you want, do your right
38:01You talk on your top, pay for your price
38:04I'm changing your white, pay for your price
38:07I want you to allow me
38:21Dispense your desire on me
38:24You're my incense, you're my incense
38:26Responding on me
38:29Come and shed your light on me
38:32Invest all your time with me
38:35I'm giving up
39:25I'mvolving my sun
39:26Let's go
