00:00:01Two months off the ice because of a knee injury.
00:00:05But today I'm back to the rink and to my lovely William.
00:00:09William!
00:00:19Hey!
00:00:20And, Mum, why are you not in the hospital?
00:00:23Because I got discharged.
00:00:25If you'd visited me once, you'd know.
00:00:27You know, I'm so busy.
00:00:29With what?
00:00:30With me.
00:00:40Are you a couple?
00:00:43Yep.
00:00:44And now we're off to celebrate qualifying for state championship.
00:00:48What?
00:00:48What?
00:00:49What?
00:00:55Mm.
00:00:57Come on, babe.
00:00:58We need some real food.
00:01:01You're skating pairs with Olivia now.
00:01:03Why?
00:01:03Because I picked the one I can actually win with.
00:01:07What?
00:01:08But...
00:01:10I'm...
00:01:17Oh, my God.
00:01:19If your madre could see you now, how pathetic you are.
00:01:24Come on, babe.
00:01:28Oops.
00:01:30You're a Sega James.
00:01:31Why?
00:01:32You want more?
00:01:32Get over here, goddammit.
00:01:33No!
00:01:34Just stop, James.
00:01:36Just stop.
00:01:37What's wrong with you?
00:01:39You're suspended.
00:01:40You're suspended.
00:01:41What?
00:01:41Come on, I accidentally bumped into you.
00:01:43Just I don't care.
00:01:44It's your last straw.
00:01:45No!
00:01:46There's no okay for you this season.
00:01:48So just get out.
00:01:49What?
00:01:50No.
00:01:50Get out!
00:01:51Get out!
00:02:00Hey!
00:02:01Watch it!
00:02:07You watch it.
00:02:10Two months in the hospital.
00:02:12No boyfriend.
00:02:14No skating partner.
00:02:15I'm just praying the ice is still waiting for me.
00:02:19Girls.
00:02:21Let's have some fun.
00:02:24Doll scapes.
00:02:26Doll show.
00:02:43Oh, what's wrong, babe?
00:02:45Forgot how to skate?
00:02:47Maybe try it without skates first.
00:02:51My skates are dull.
00:02:54Oh, don't cry.
00:02:56Bambi on I.
00:03:04Emma, you really think you can come back after that injury?
00:03:08I can manage.
00:03:09You don't even have a partner.
00:03:11Who are you going to skate with?
00:03:15I...
00:03:17No partner.
00:03:18No championship.
00:03:19You understand that, Emma?
00:03:20No.
00:03:42Hey.
00:03:44This is the man's locker room.
00:03:49I want you to be my ice dance partner.
00:03:52Excuse me?
00:03:54You heard me.
00:04:03You're nuts.
00:04:04I'm a hockey player.
00:04:06I don't jump around in tights to Taylor Swift.
00:04:09If you don't, you'll get kicked out of college for fighting the coach.
00:04:13No scholarship.
00:04:14No hockey.
00:04:15How do you know about that?
00:04:19Everyone knows.
00:04:21Just say yes.
00:04:24You help me.
00:04:25I help you.
00:04:29What are you doing?
00:04:30What are you doing?
00:04:43Kiss me.
00:04:47How much do you want me to be your ice dance partner?
00:04:55So?
00:04:57I told you already.
00:04:59You're wasting your time.
00:05:02But I just kissed you!
00:05:04And now I know how important this is for you.
00:05:07You jerk!
00:05:14What the hell?
00:05:17Hey.
00:05:22Not now.
00:05:23You okay?
00:05:24My knee is getting worse again.
00:05:26I cannot see it.
00:05:30Can you hear me?
00:05:33Emma.
00:05:36James.
00:05:39How are you feeling?
00:05:44Why do you care?
00:05:47Is that your thanks for saving my life?
00:05:50Glad to see you back, Emma.
00:05:52Get up.
00:05:55Gladly.
00:05:57Oh, Emma, Emma.
00:05:59You came back to the arts so early, you know?
00:06:00Your knee cartilage hasn't healed properly.
00:06:04Listen, if you keep on training right now,
00:06:06you risk never skating or...
00:06:10never walking again.
00:06:12So what do I do?
00:06:13Well, it's your decision, your call, but...
00:06:16skating is absolutely off limits.
00:06:40I don't want my partner dying off day one of training.
00:06:44Partner.
00:06:46So you're in?
00:06:47Yeah.
00:06:49Only if you're not hiding some medical issue that could screw up our training.
00:06:53No issues.
00:06:55Partner.
00:06:57Great.
00:06:59See you on the ice.
00:07:08You seriously dragged me here at 5am?
00:07:10It's better this way.
00:07:12No audience, no Olivia with her phone.
00:07:17No audience, you said?
00:07:19What the...
00:07:27Maybe we should reschedule for...
00:07:30tomorrow.
00:07:38Arsehole!
00:07:40What the hell?
00:07:41I know exactly why you did that.
00:07:43You wanted to piss Olivia off.
00:07:46Why'd you say that?
00:07:48I'm not stupid, James.
00:07:49You wanna mess with your ex?
00:07:51Fine.
00:07:52Don't use me.
00:07:54Oh, come on.
00:07:55It's not like seeing William next to her doesn't hurt you too.
00:07:59Yeah.
00:08:00But I'm not kissing just anyone, alright?
00:08:03I literally saved your life.
00:08:06You're my ice dance partner.
00:08:07And we both have something at stake.
00:08:09I wanna come back and win.
00:08:11And you wanna get back to hockey.
00:08:13Can't wait.
00:08:14So, it's time to set some rules.
00:08:17I hate rules.
00:08:18So sad to hear.
00:08:21Rule number one, partnership on ice and no feelings.
00:08:27What's next?
00:08:28Rule number two, no touching unless it's necessary on the ice.
00:08:36And rule number three, no more kissing.
00:08:43Deal.
00:08:48He can't find out about my injury.
00:08:50I'm going to win this championship.
00:08:53No matter what it costs.
00:08:58Are you kidding me?
00:09:00You're seriously training in those?
00:09:02Well, I'm not putting on those leggings.
00:09:04That's our uniform, dammit.
00:09:06Go change into something normal.
00:09:11What if I don't?
00:09:19Fine.
00:09:21Let's just start.
00:09:24Great plan.
00:09:32Get ready to support me.
00:09:34Get ready to support me.
00:09:40What was that?
00:09:42I was trying to be careful.
00:09:44Just not used to this.
00:09:46Because you're all jerky.
00:09:47Just dance.
00:09:47I'm a hockey player, not a ballerina.
00:09:51Stop.
00:09:52Are you kidding me?
00:09:56You really think this is going to work?
00:09:59It's our first practice.
00:10:01We have to get used to each other.
00:10:02No.
00:10:03It's pointless.
00:10:05I'm not going to waste my time.
00:10:08Sorry.
00:10:09But I quit.
00:10:11What?
00:10:12What?
00:10:13We just started.
00:10:15You didn't give us a chance.
00:10:16That's not fair.
00:10:18Life's rarely fair.
00:10:19But you didn't even try.
00:10:22I've seen enough.
00:10:25A girl scared of her own body after an injury and washed up hockey player.
00:10:31What'd you say?
00:10:34You heard me.
00:10:36What are you going to do about it?
00:10:38Huh?
00:10:39You want to hit me?
00:10:41Come on, hippie.
00:10:43No.
00:10:45If you hit him, it's over.
00:10:48For both of us.
00:10:49You get kicked out of college and I lose my partner.
00:10:52Is that really what you want?
00:11:00Psycho.
00:11:05Thanks.
00:11:06You're welcome.
00:11:09But we still don't have a coach.
00:11:12Well, I might have an idea.
00:11:15What's that?
00:11:16You're probably not going to like this.
00:11:21A new coach and already late.
00:11:24The coach isn't late.
00:11:26We just got here too early.
00:11:28Tell me who it is.
00:11:30Now.
00:11:31Please.
00:11:32I swear I'll die if we don't.
00:11:33Okay, okay, okay.
00:11:34Calm down.
00:11:36Our new coach is...
00:11:40My mom.
00:11:42You're kidding me.
00:11:45Hey, wait, wait, wait.
00:11:46Come on.
00:11:47Let's give it a shot.
00:11:48No.
00:11:50Never.
00:12:00Emma?
00:12:02You don't know what you've done.
00:12:05I...
00:12:05I didn't know she was your mom.
00:12:09Then how'd you know I wouldn't like your idea?
00:12:11Because...
00:12:12Because everyone knows she's a monster.
00:12:14I don't even know what kind of monster.
00:12:16I'm not training with her.
00:12:19Seriously?
00:12:20You're just gonna quit like that.
00:12:21You don't get it.
00:12:24Then explain it to me.
00:12:26So that's it.
00:12:27But what about me?
00:12:28What about us?
00:12:30You're running away like a cow because you saw your mom?
00:12:32She's not just my mom, dammit!
00:12:37She's my nightmare.
00:12:45When she went to the Olympics,
00:12:48she found out she was pregnant with me.
00:12:51That's it.
00:12:51Ever since then, I've been her project.
00:12:54On the ice.
00:12:55At three.
00:12:56Strict rules at four.
00:12:58Diets.
00:12:59Screaming.
00:13:00Blood from the skates.
00:13:03I'm not her daughter.
00:13:04I'm a replacement for her failed dream.
00:13:08I'm sorry you have to go through that.
00:13:09I had to.
00:13:10I moved out.
00:13:12It was the only adaptation I ever made.
00:13:14But now you brought her back.
00:13:16You brought back my nightmare.
00:13:18Yeah.
00:13:21I'm not asking you to love her.
00:13:23Just put up with her.
00:13:26I'd even wear those tights for you.
00:13:35James out.
00:13:36I need a word with Emma.
00:13:38Maybe I can stand in the-
00:13:39I said out.
00:13:48You were in such a rush to leave home, you didn't even take all of your stuff.
00:13:52I'll get it later.
00:13:54If you want to make it to the finals, you need someone who knows how to get you there.
00:13:59And I know how.
00:14:01And you know that I know.
00:14:02You also realize this is your only shot.
00:14:07I can handle this.
00:14:09The real question is can you, Emma?
00:14:11Emma?
00:14:16It's up to you.
00:14:30Screw all of you!
00:14:37I made my choice.
00:14:39Thin ice can take me down.
00:14:43But I'll rise above it.
00:14:46Get into position.
00:15:00Begin.
00:15:07Arms up, James.
00:15:09Emma, straighten your torso.
00:15:11Stop slouching.
00:15:12You look like you're holding bricks on your back.
00:15:16Don't stress.
00:15:17You got this.
00:15:20And hold it.
00:15:30Maybe skating's just not your thing, huh?
00:15:53We don't do floor moves, Emma.
00:15:56On your feet.
00:15:58I see it.
00:15:59Get up.
00:16:02Don't.
00:16:06How long do I have to wait?
00:16:08I can't.
00:16:09Can't get up.
00:16:10Crawl to the exit.
00:16:11This is sport, not a spa.
00:16:13Weak legs need work, Emma.
00:16:16Same as endurance.
00:16:17Same as character.
00:16:19Or you can just take your skates off again
00:16:22and be done with it.
00:16:25Again?
00:16:26Why not?
00:16:28The moment your knees tug,
00:16:29you ran to the doctor and spent two months off the ice.
00:16:33Doesn't sound like an athlete's character to me.
00:16:36Damn, stop it already!
00:16:39Excuse me.
00:16:40I said stop.
00:16:42Don't treat her like she's a dog.
00:16:43If you're looking for sympathy, you're in the wrong place.
00:16:46She just started to recover.
00:16:48She wants to win, then she'd better suck it up.
00:16:50Suck up what? You're a torture?
00:16:52James.
00:16:53No, no, no, no, no.
00:16:54Don't.
00:16:54You're not a coach.
00:16:56You're an executioner.
00:16:58You think that you're a hero?
00:17:00That you're someone special?
00:17:01How could you treat your own daughter like this?
00:17:08You know what your problem is, James?
00:17:10You confuse courage with stupidity.
00:17:13As long as you keep stepping in, she'll never beat her weakness.
00:17:17She'll just keep lying on the ice.
00:17:19Pity doesn't win medals.
00:17:22It holds you back.
00:17:25You want to get back to hockey?
00:17:28Then remember this.
00:17:31While you're babying her, someone else is out there working twice as hard taking your win.
00:17:38So?
00:17:40Still wanna sit here and cry about it?
00:17:42What?
00:17:43She isn't here because you talked her into it in a locker room.
00:17:47She's here because she wants to win.
00:17:49Stay out of my way.
00:17:51So what's with that knee?
00:17:52Fine.
00:17:54Then no reason to sleep during the practice.
00:17:56Bring a note from a doctor tomorrow.
00:17:59Ice, tape, 6am, sharp.
00:18:03And no more whining.
00:18:05Or tantrums.
00:18:09Hey.
00:18:12You okay?
00:18:17No one's ever stood up for me before.
00:18:39Well, well.
00:18:41What do we have here?
00:18:43Sweet practice tomorrow.
00:18:46See ya.
00:18:52So, how's my leg going?
00:18:55How's your broken nose?
00:18:56Come on.
00:18:58Admit it.
00:18:59I like it.
00:19:00You were so gentle with a dice pack.
00:19:03Hey, relax guys.
00:19:04It's temporary, okay?
00:19:06I just need to coach and take me back.
00:19:08That's it.
00:19:08I'm doing this for me.
00:19:11And for Emma.
00:19:13For Emma?
00:19:14Whoa.
00:19:16Someone's falling hard.
00:19:19Hey, she's the one falling for me, dumb asses.
00:19:21You wanna know how this ends?
00:19:24Oh.
00:19:24We're listening.
00:19:26Oh yeah, listen good boy.
00:19:27I'll get her through the competition.
00:19:29We'll win.
00:19:30Alright?
00:19:31And then she'll be crazy about me.
00:19:33And I'll leave her at the top just like that.
00:19:35Then I'm back to hockey.
00:19:37Wanna make it to bad?
00:19:38Turn the box.
00:19:45We're on.
00:19:53I wanted a doctor's note.
00:19:55But the doctor said no physical activity.
00:19:59So faking the doctor's note was my only way out.
00:20:06Hey.
00:20:07Here you go.
00:20:09Like you asked.
00:20:16Seriously?
00:20:19What the hell is this?
00:20:23What do you mean?
00:20:24Cleared for our light work.
00:20:26You do realize there's nothing light about what we do here?
00:20:30Yes.
00:20:31Of course.
00:20:33Good.
00:20:34Glad we have an understanding.
00:20:36Good luck.
00:20:42Hurts?
00:20:43No.
00:20:44It's fine.
00:20:46Lift.
00:20:49And this?
00:20:51No.
00:20:52You're...
00:20:53No.
00:20:56No.
00:20:58Bring the original now to the club registry.
00:21:01And I want you and James at the costume fitting.
00:21:05Got it.
00:21:11Do I really have to be some dude in Sparkles?
00:21:15It's so cringe, like I'm literally a disco ball.
00:21:18Zip me up.
00:21:39I look amazing.
00:21:41Thanks.
00:21:43You too.
00:21:45Come on, Emma.
00:21:47I look ridiculous.
00:21:49All right?
00:21:50And I'm not going out like this.
00:21:52What?
00:21:54Why do you have to make everything a problem?
00:21:57Because this isn't about us.
00:21:59All those rhinestones and then glitter.
00:22:02We need drive, not cheesy pop.
00:22:05Cut it out.
00:22:06Look at me.
00:22:07I'm a clown, Martha.
00:22:09You're a partner.
00:22:10Partners dressed to the program.
00:22:12Programs approved.
00:22:14Okay?
00:22:15Can we at least skip the glitter splashes?
00:22:20When you skate without mistakes, maybe until then shine.
00:22:24And stop being embarrassed by what impresses the audience.
00:22:28But I am...
00:22:29I, I, I, enough already!
00:22:30Why are you budding and not talking to you?
00:22:32Stop it.
00:22:34All this energy and anger, I want this in your work.
00:22:37Got it?
00:22:41Good.
00:22:46Good.
00:22:47Good.
00:22:56Good.

00:27:35Look what you did.
00:27:36What a mess and it doesn't even match your costume.
00:27:39Listen, listen, listen.
00:27:40We'll make a new act.
00:27:41About us.
00:27:43The skater and the hockey player.
00:27:46What?
00:27:47Like Beauty and the Beast.
00:27:48Our version.
00:27:50It's not funny, James.
00:27:52No.
00:27:53Honestly, though.
00:27:56Now you.
00:27:59This is really you.
00:28:01Really?
00:28:02So I'm a scrappy girl in ripped clothes?
00:28:04That's how you see me?
00:28:05No, no, no.
00:28:06You're a fragile girl.
00:28:08In need of care and love.
00:28:14And I will be really me.
00:28:17I will be really me.
00:28:47So bass is the same.
00:28:50Just a new concept.
00:28:52Ready?
00:28:53Yeah.
00:28:55I'll just introduce you to our new song.
00:28:58Mm-hmm.
00:29:23This is a bad idea.
00:29:25We don't have time for this.
00:29:27No, no, no, Emma.
00:29:28Don't give up now.
00:29:31We got this, okay?
00:29:36Let's do it.
00:29:38What the hell is going on here?
00:29:44Do you want me to repeat the question?
00:29:48Emma's costume got slashed.
00:29:50We're changing up the routine a little bit, but, but, but bass is still the same.
00:29:54Just a new concept.
00:29:56Is that true?
00:29:58Yes.
00:29:58Well, you can't be doing this five ladies before hitting the ice.
00:30:02But we have no choice.
00:30:03It's either this or nothing.
00:30:05Pair number five, please go straight to the skating rink.
00:30:10No, I can't take that risk.
00:30:13Not with my name, nor the club's image.
00:30:15Conversation's over.
00:30:17Remember the junior event in Dallas?
00:30:21My skates got stolen.
00:30:23An hour before the program.
00:30:25We borrowed a pair.
00:30:27Size too big.
00:30:29Taped up my ankles and I still nailed it.
00:30:32That was reckless.
00:30:33That was grit.
00:30:35The same grit you're asking from me now.
00:30:40Give us a chance.
00:30:43Please.
00:30:45Just one chance.
00:30:48Fine.
00:30:50But don't let me down.
00:30:59Pair number five, Emma Hartley and James Grayson.
00:31:03Oh, God.
00:31:05Not now.
00:31:08Relax, you flip.
00:31:15That's where my skates, my mom beat me.
00:31:18For my first hockey finals.
00:31:20Since she's passed, I...
00:31:22You pay my a good blood charge.
00:31:24Pair number five, Emma Hartley and James Grayson.
00:31:28Please take the ice immediately.
00:31:31Today, and then tomorrow.
00:31:34Or a little ritual.
00:31:37Oh, wait.
00:31:38Here they are.
00:31:39Pair number five, Emma Hartley and James Grayson.
00:31:52Breathe.
00:31:54Breathe.
00:31:57Breathe.
00:31:58On three.
00:32:08Let's be real
00:32:11I got my hands on the scene wheel
00:32:14I'ma pull my sling
00:32:18I go where I want
00:32:19I do my own damn thing
00:32:21So shadow the mirrors
00:32:24I ain't looking back now
00:32:26Pedal to the floor
00:32:27Cause I'm not a backseat driver
00:32:31I'm taking control
00:32:34I set the city on fire
00:32:38Wherever I go
00:32:41Nothing can slow me down
00:32:43And two, and three
00:32:45No, no, I can't
00:32:55I'm not a backseat driver
00:32:57I'm not a backseat driver
00:32:59I'm taking control
00:33:02I set the city on fire
00:33:06Wherever I go
00:33:09Nothing can slow me down
00:33:11Nothing can slow me down
00:33:16No, I can't
00:33:25No, I can't
00:33:30I can't
00:33:31I can't
00:33:32No, no, no
00:33:37Nailed it
00:33:38I see it, idiot.
00:34:08I can't do it.
00:34:09Dad, not here.
00:34:12Back off, punk!
00:34:15I guess I didn't hit you enough as a kid.
00:34:17Look at you!
00:34:18Acting old, soft and whiny!
00:34:22Enough!
00:34:23Oh, shut up, you stupid girl!
00:34:25Don't talk to her like that.
00:34:27What?
00:34:28What are you gonna do, clown?
00:34:30Enough! We're leaving!
00:34:32I said, let me go!
00:34:34I'm sorry.
00:34:35No celebration tonight.
00:34:37Let's go.
00:34:38You won't be so...
00:34:40James!
00:34:46Do you feel pain in here?
00:34:48A lot.
00:34:50You have a fairly limited range of motion here.
00:34:54There is a fluid build-up.
00:34:55That's why you have this feeling of tightness from inside.
00:34:58In the morning,
00:34:59I can still walk, but
00:35:01by the evening, it's
00:35:04unbearable.
00:35:05It's cold.
00:35:07I'm afraid we have to be very strict, Emma.
00:35:09A complete break from the ice.
00:35:12No skating, no jumping
00:35:13whatsoever.
00:35:14Pool work,
00:35:15physiotherapy,
00:35:16and rehab exercises only.
00:35:18A knee brace,
00:35:19and a follow-up in a month.
00:35:21And you have MRI scheduled for tomorrow.
00:35:23We have the state championships!
00:35:27If you don't stop skating right now,
00:35:30you're risking never walking again.
00:35:32Do we understand that?
00:35:36Thank you, Doctor.
00:35:38You're gonna be fine.
00:35:39Just need a rest.
00:35:43No matter how hard I try,
00:35:46Mum will never love me for skating.
00:35:48And it's not worth losing the ability to walk.
00:35:51You are the two.
00:35:56I'm going to take a break.
00:36:00Yeah,
00:36:13I've got a break.
00:36:19I'm going to take a break.
00:36:21James
00:36:25Go home
00:36:25What happened?
00:36:27None of your business, go home
00:36:29I care, okay?
00:36:31I said go home
00:36:37Let me know
00:36:38You can leave
00:36:40I've got nothing to be ashamed of
00:36:42If you need help, just say it
00:36:45Why?
00:36:46Why did you come?
00:36:49Because
00:36:50Because you're my partner
00:36:52And I know what it's like
00:36:54Not to have parents
00:36:55No, you don't, Em
00:36:56I do
00:36:57You don't
00:36:59If I lose my scholarship
00:37:01I'm out of college
00:37:02Done
00:37:04And I'll rot here with my drunk dad
00:37:07Don't say that
00:37:08But it's true
00:37:11Skating with you
00:37:13Is my only shot
00:37:18For my dad
00:37:21No
00:37:22Let me go
00:37:25You'll have to go back to hockey
00:37:27I don't want to become
00:37:30Him
00:37:37And you
00:37:39Why'd you come?
00:37:41I
00:37:42Um
00:37:44If you don't stop skating right now
00:37:46You're risking never walking again
00:37:48Decided to come to sort out tomorrow's training
00:37:52Why not just call
00:37:54You didn't answer
00:37:57Right
00:38:00Okay
00:38:01See you at practice
00:38:02Bye
00:38:17Why are you really here?
00:38:19I came to discuss training
00:38:21We need to plan the schedule
00:38:22Bullshit
00:38:22What didn't you say?
00:38:24You kissed me on the ice
00:38:26And now you show up in my place at night
00:38:30With stockings
00:38:31And you expect me to believe it's only about training?
00:38:34Come on
00:38:36You're just scared to admit you actually want me
00:38:39What the hell?
00:38:40It's true
00:38:41You're a coward
00:38:42And you're an asshole
00:38:43Screw you
00:38:44Screw you
00:38:45Screw you
00:38:46Screw you
00:38:49How do these damn doors open?
00:38:51Like this, idiot
00:39:15Stop, stop, stop
00:39:16What's wrong?
00:39:18We have to
00:39:20Hit the ice
00:39:21Very early
00:39:22First thing in the morning
00:39:23Did I do something wrong?
00:39:25No, but
00:39:26But really we should rest
00:39:27Before the championships
00:39:28I just opened up to you
00:39:31And you're shutting me out again
00:39:35Do you even trust me a little bit?
00:39:38I just
00:39:39I can't right now
00:39:44Screw you
00:39:44Screw you, Emma
00:40:02Screw you
00:40:08What the?
00:40:10Grab your stuff
00:40:11And get out
00:40:12You're kicking your own son out?
00:40:14You're not my son
00:40:16As long as you're dancing on the ice in rhinestones
00:40:19And embarrassing me
00:40:20You're not setting foot in here again
00:40:22Ted
00:40:23I said
00:40:25Get out
00:40:51Let's get out
00:40:57No questions, please.
00:41:28My knee hurts, but my head hurts more because I'm falling for him faster than I ever fell in any
00:41:35routine.
00:41:45Now this is getting interesting.
00:42:03Hi.
00:42:10Hi.
00:42:14About yesterday?
00:42:15Nothing to discuss.
00:42:20Everything okay?
00:42:22Totally.
00:42:23Good.
00:42:24Because we've got a lot of work to do.
00:42:26We're starting prep for the state championship.
00:42:29Tomorrow we've got double eyes, then footwork, base work and choreography.
00:42:33Any questions?
00:42:34None.
00:42:35Good.
00:42:37Yes.
00:42:41You're not gonna tell us how we did?
00:42:45What do you want to hear?
00:42:46Can't you just say good job?
00:42:49For what?
00:42:50You missed a few rotations.
00:42:52You've never praised me.
00:42:54Not once.
00:42:56Not the time or place, Emma.
00:43:00See you tomorrow on the ice.
00:43:06James.
00:43:07I really didn't mean...
00:43:11I made myself clear.
00:43:13I don't care what you meant.
00:43:19Are you totally nuts?
00:43:20No, you're not.
00:43:22Go!
00:43:23No.
00:43:25Remember you love rules.
00:43:27So listen up.
00:43:29Rule number one.
00:43:31Don't lie to me.
00:43:33I can see everything in your eyes anyway.
00:43:36Rule number two.
00:43:38Do not provoke me with closeness if you're not ready to feel how close I can be.
00:43:45And rule number three.
00:43:48Rule number three.
00:43:48You don't run away from a kiss anymore.
00:43:51You start it.
00:43:53You finish it.
00:43:58Ding.
00:44:14How's it going, babe?
00:44:15What do you want, Olivia?
00:44:17Nothing.
00:44:18Just missed you.
00:44:19Yeah, well I didn't.
00:44:23Too bad if you get pulled from the competition because of her knee.
00:44:30Oh, you didn't know?
00:44:32Well, now you do.
00:44:34What's it got to do with you?
00:44:35I just know how important winning is to you.
00:44:38I'm afraid to skate with me.
00:44:40Think about who you want to pair with.
00:44:43The one who drags you down.
00:44:46All right.
00:44:48The one who drags you to gold.
00:44:50And who said you drag to gold?
00:44:52Think about it.
00:44:54Jerk.
00:45:01Emma!
00:45:02Wait!
00:45:06What are you doing?
00:45:07Take off your clothes.
00:45:09Now.
00:45:10What?
00:45:11No, I'm not doing that.
00:45:12I know about your knee.
00:45:14Either you take them off or I'll do it myself.
00:45:22I'm waiting.
00:45:36Why did you lie to me?
00:45:38I didn't lie to you.
00:45:39I've got everything under control.
00:45:41This is not under control.
00:45:42What did the doctor say?
00:45:43What did the doctor say?
00:45:47Don't you dare lie to me.
00:45:50Not this time, Emma.
00:45:51He said that if I continue skating, I might never walk again.
00:46:00What?
00:46:02When I came to your place, I wanted to tell you, but you said how important it was for you
00:46:08to get back to hockey and I couldn't.
00:46:13You're right.
00:46:16You couldn't.
00:46:18But I can.
00:46:19I refuse to be your partner.
00:46:22I'm sorry.
00:46:23What?
00:46:23No.
00:46:25You can't do this to me.
00:46:27Don't you get it?
00:46:29I don't want you risking yourself and your health.
00:46:31When Olivia first told me, I didn't believe her.
00:46:34What?
00:46:35I thought she was playing with me, trying to make me pair with her.
00:46:38But now I see that.
00:46:39That's it.
00:46:40Olivia, just admit you want to skate with her.
00:46:42What are you talking about?
00:46:43You called me out for not being able to tell the truth.
00:46:46Maybe take a look in the mirror.
00:46:48Emma!
00:47:05Damn.
00:47:06Painkillers.
00:47:30I'm sorry.
00:47:31I saw the light in the room and then...
00:47:33I get it.
00:47:35Just go home.
00:47:36It's okay.
00:47:38Look, I'm not asking why you're here or what happened, but...
00:47:42I've got to freak out.
00:47:46No thanks.
00:47:48Let's put the person aside just for a few nights.
00:47:51It's fine, Em.
00:47:53I can manage.
00:47:55I've been here before.
00:47:58Slept in a locker room and...
00:47:59If someone had offered me a soft couch back then, I wouldn't have refused.
00:48:05Before the security comes back from there else.
00:48:17No.
00:48:18Sorry about the mess.
00:48:19It's okay.
00:48:21I get it.
00:48:22Didn't expect guests.
00:48:26Simple rules.
00:48:28Pouch.
00:48:29Yours.
00:48:30Bedroom.
00:48:31Mine.
00:48:32And...
00:48:33Bathroom and tans.
00:48:35Roger.
00:48:42You.
00:48:53Can you find.
00:48:55You.
00:48:55You.
00:48:56You.
00:48:57You.
00:48:58You.
00:48:59Let's go.
00:49:36Does it hurt?
00:49:39Yeah.
00:49:41Can I?
00:50:09Can I ask you something?
00:50:11Of course.
00:50:13Please don't tell Mothra about my knee.
00:50:15I'll tell her myself tomorrow.
00:50:18Okay.
00:50:26Do you trust me?
00:50:55How did you bear all this time?
00:50:59Tell me if it hurts.
00:51:03Ow.
00:51:04Almost done.
00:51:14Tomorrow I'd feel better.
00:51:16Take you to a bedroom?
00:51:18No.
00:51:21I want to sleep on the couch tonight.
00:51:24But that's where I sleep.
00:51:26That's your rule.
00:51:28But I want to finish the kiss I'm about to start.
00:51:33And that's your rule.
00:51:52Luckily you're not wearing stocking straight.
00:51:54It's not really anything I'm not wearing.
00:51:56Yeah?
00:51:57What else isn't on you?
00:52:00What else isn't on you?
00:52:01I want to sleep on this.
00:52:04Oh, oh, oh.
00:52:09Oh, oh.
00:52:12Oh, oh.
00:52:37Good morning, princess.
00:52:39Come up with new jokes, man.
00:52:42It's getting boring.
00:52:43Kasia.
00:52:44How's the ballerina?
00:52:45Not falling apart yet.
00:52:47Say about Emma again and I might lose it.
00:52:50Oh.
00:52:51Sounds of love.
00:52:53And lost the bet.
00:52:54And lost the box.
00:52:55Yeah.
00:52:57What bet?
00:52:58Oh.
00:53:00This one.
00:53:01We'll get her to the competition.
00:53:02We'll win.
00:53:04And I'll leave her to talk just like that.
00:53:07It's an effect.
00:53:08Why the hell would you film this?
00:53:11For memories sake.
00:53:12Delete it.
00:53:14Now.
00:53:15Relax, Grayson.
00:53:17I'm asking nicely.
00:53:19Last time.
00:53:21Or what?
00:53:22You really want to know?
00:53:24No.
00:53:24Okay.
00:53:26Okay.
00:53:26Chill.
00:53:31Oops.
00:53:32Guess I pressed the wrong button and...
00:53:35Oh, yeah.
00:53:37The video is on every channel.
00:53:39What?
00:53:41You bastard!
00:53:43You cowardly bastard!
00:53:45You bastard!
00:53:46You cowardly bastard!
00:54:14Hey, Bambi.
00:54:16Do you know your price is ten bucks?
00:54:18What?
00:54:19Yeah.
00:54:20You don't even make a cheeseburger menu.
00:54:22Can you imagine how pathetic you are?
00:54:39I'll get her to the competition.
00:54:41We'll win.
00:54:42And I'll leave her to talk just like that.
00:54:44Then I'm back to hockey.
00:54:46So it was only real.
00:54:48For me.
00:55:04Come on.
00:55:05Pick up the phone, Em.
00:55:08Damn.
00:55:31Emma.
00:55:31Don't.
00:55:40Eight.
00:55:42Nine.
00:55:43Ten.
00:55:44There.
00:55:45I owe you nothing.
00:55:47Please, Em.
00:55:47Just hear me out.
00:55:49Fell in love with you, James.
00:55:52So take these damn bells and go to hell.
00:56:00Hear me out.
00:56:02I don't want to.
00:56:03Please.
00:56:04Please.
00:56:06Emma.
00:56:07I'm sorry.
00:56:09I was an idiot.
00:56:11And a jerk.
00:56:12And a jerk.
00:56:13And a jerk.
00:56:14And a bastard.
00:56:14Yes.
00:56:15Yes.
00:56:15And yes again.
00:56:16But listen.
00:56:17When I made that stupid bet, I'm sorry I didn't know that I-
00:56:22Didn't know you were the stupid tactic.
00:56:23That I'd fall for you.
00:56:24No.
00:56:27For real.
00:56:30I love you, Emma.
00:56:38I don't believe you.
00:56:40And I'm not forgiving you.
00:56:42What do you want me to do?
00:56:44Huh?
00:56:45Were you on time?
00:56:47I made a mistake, Em.
00:56:49And it hurts.
00:56:50I know.
00:56:51No.
00:56:53You can do one thing for me.
00:56:56Anything.
00:56:58Skate with me.
00:56:59At the state championships.
00:57:03But...
00:57:04You're near.
00:57:05And you don't say a word to Martha about it.
00:57:07You can't risk it like that.
00:57:11Then goodbye.
00:57:12No, okay, okay.
00:57:13Listen.
00:57:16Only if you really want it.
00:57:17I do.
00:57:22Let's go.
00:57:24We're late.
00:57:40I...
00:57:42I...
00:57:43I wanted to ask, uh...
00:57:46How's your knee?
00:57:47Fine.
00:57:48Yeah?
00:57:49You...
00:57:49You, um...
00:57:51You were amazing on the ice.
00:57:54I know.
00:57:55Thanks.
00:57:58Em, I...
00:57:59Really wanted to...
00:58:01James!
00:58:02Stop!
00:58:06Dad?
00:58:07You should leave.
00:58:09I didn't come to argue.
00:58:10Then why?
00:58:12I came to apologize.
00:58:14Honestly.
00:58:16Sorry.
00:58:18And you too, girl.
00:58:19Sorry.
00:58:20Is that it?
00:58:21James, don't be like that.
00:58:22When I walk around home.
00:58:25And you're not there.
00:58:26I just can't find any peace.
00:58:28It's empty.
00:58:29At home.
00:58:30And here.
00:58:32I'm sorry.
00:58:34Really.
00:58:36Well...
00:58:37I guess I'll go there.
00:58:39It's...
00:58:40It's okay.
00:58:42Forget about it.
00:58:43You're just in time for the free skate.
00:58:45I...
00:58:45Son, I'd love to, but I can't.
00:58:48Another time.
00:58:50Hey.
00:58:51Could you spot me some cash?
00:58:53Ren just shut up.
00:58:55And I'm out of my mats.
00:58:57And I actually thought you came to apologize.
00:58:59What?
00:59:00You can't spare couple of dollars for your dad?
00:59:04Sorry, I can't help.
00:59:06I rest you.
00:59:07Fed you.
00:59:08And now you're cheap with your dot?
00:59:15I'm not fighting you, dad.
00:59:18Don't touch him.
00:59:21Hands off him, jerk.
00:59:27Listen up.
00:59:29First, breaking access rules.
00:59:32Second, alcohol on sight.
00:59:34I'm sober.
00:59:36Third, assaulting an athlete.
00:59:38Should I call security or will you leave?
00:59:41Who the hell are you anyway?
00:59:43Telling me what to do?
00:59:45No athlete?
00:59:46No champion?
00:59:47What have you achieved in life?
00:59:49You'd better live nicely.
00:59:52Don't make me use the taser.
01:00:00Build a light.
01:00:04I'm sorry.
01:00:05Don't apologize for him.
01:00:07And remember, you're not your father.
01:00:09You're better.
01:00:10You're better than your parents.
01:00:12Got it?
01:00:13Now focus on the main thing.
01:00:16Quick question.
01:00:17Do you really have a taser?
01:00:20Go.
01:00:29Again?

01:05:29I always have you back, you're a fragile girl, you need of care, you love, I love you, I love
01:05:36you.
01:05:52I used to believe that if I just skated perfectly, someone would finally love me.
01:05:57But the people who truly care and love aren't asking me to keep going.
01:06:04Then I stopped being a battlefield.
01:06:06For the first time, I understand that stopping doesn't mean failing.
01:06:12It means I finally know my own worth.
01:06:15You did it.
01:06:16I'm here for you.
01:06:43But the girl who chose herself, she will be remembered forever.
01:06:51Oh, and by the way, Miss Spencer, after review, rival stern costume, anonymous safety complaints, long-standing conflicts of interest,
01:07:04unsportsmanlike conduct.
01:07:09What?
01:07:10What?
01:07:11You don't understand.
01:07:12It was just a mistake.
01:07:13I was nervous.
01:07:14During the investigation, your access to Club Ice is suspended.
01:07:18You will be notified.
01:07:20Please, no, no.
01:07:22Dammit!
01:07:30I must admit, I was really scared for you.
01:07:32I've never seen you scared before.
01:07:35That's because I never allow myself to be your mom.
01:07:38I was always your coach.
01:07:40And now?
01:07:42I just want to spend more time with you.
01:07:45Away from the ring.
01:07:48Oh, I'm sorry.
01:07:49I was looking for Emma.
01:07:50It's okay.
01:07:52Just ask.
01:07:52I'm already leaving.
01:07:58Tell him.
01:08:00Tell him what?
01:08:01Tell him that you love him.
01:08:04Who says I love him?
01:08:05Don't waste time.
01:08:07For example, I really regret not saying I love you too.
01:08:10Someone close to me.
01:08:13You mean dad?
01:08:14I mean you, Emma.
01:08:35You seem flustered.
