00:00:04Music. My only savior. My only voice. With my fingers on the black and ivory keys. It's the only time
00:00:14I'm truly free. When my parents died, they left me with nothing but this piano. And my bastard brother.
00:00:26Where's your cash, bitch? I got the loan sharks after me and if you don't pay them back, I'm just
00:00:32gonna ship you off to their strip club myself.
00:00:35Maybe you should grow a pair and clean up your own mess, big brother.
00:00:39Maybe you should watch your mouth or your fingers are gonna pay a price.
00:00:46It is your fault that we are in the hole. Dad, son, the family business to pay for your fancy
00:00:54music school.
00:00:56Hey, do you think that they'll refund me if I break your fingers? In your dreams.
00:01:05Oh, you're asking for it now. No, not my music sheets. No. Dad, I'll get every penny into your life
00:01:12insurance. You're worth more to be dead than a lot.
00:01:16Fall right on, you precious music shit and die with it.
00:01:32A man like him doesn't belong in a neighborhood like this.
00:01:36Hey! You almost killed my baby sister, you motherfucker! Lookit, she's bleeding!
00:01:42I wasn't the one that shoved her into the middle of the road, so you might as well drop the
00:01:45act.
00:01:47All right, then. You are not! Give me your fucking keys and your wallet, or you're dead!
00:01:52Come and get it!
00:01:57Fuck it! Don't touch your sister again, you abusive piece of shit!
00:02:10Keep it. It's cold in the rain.
00:02:17A stranger... saved me?
00:02:22Who is he?
00:02:30Emmerich, what was all that noise?
00:02:32Detour. Almost out to school.
00:02:35Good. Don't want our new piano professor late on his first day.
00:02:38This professor position at Le Moyne is my last chance. No distractions, Emmerich.
00:02:46Not at all.
00:02:50It's second semester of my freshman year at Le Moyne Conservatory.
00:02:53The most prestigious music college in the country.
00:02:56And I'm the only student here without a trust fund.
00:03:07Oops!
00:03:09Watch it! Trailer tramp!
00:03:12Hey Ivory, is your body count really higher than the number of keys on a piano?
00:03:17I don't think the guys here are so into charity.
00:03:23It's true. The boys pay me to do their homework, then they do me.
00:03:28Their money keeps me in school instead of sleeping on the streets.
00:03:32We're getting pawned off as a plaything for loan sharks.
00:03:36But I won't give up until I get the Leopold Fellowship.
00:03:40It's what my dad always wanted.
00:03:42And it's my only way out of this hell.
00:03:44Have you heard?
00:03:45The new piano professor is recommending the next Leopold Fellow.
00:03:50Whoever gets picked is basically guaranteed this spot.
00:03:55And he is so hot.
00:03:59The fellowship should be all I'm thinking about.
00:04:02And yeah.
00:04:03Keep it.
00:04:05Stop obsessing over some hot stranger Ivory.
00:04:09You have a new professor to impress and a fellowship to win.
00:04:13Coming to class on another man's Maison Margiela jacket?
00:04:16What are you trying to make me jealous?
00:04:18A hot dog in a girl's mouth would make you jealous, Prescott.
00:04:22You played rough with this guy, huh?
00:04:25Be a good girl, Ivory.
00:04:27Get the jacket off and give it to me.
00:04:29You know, Prescott, only sad jerks like you need to beg girls to take their clothes off for you.
00:04:39What do we have here?
00:04:40Give it back, Prescott.
00:04:41You want your dead daddy's photo back?
00:04:43Then give me the jacket, now.
00:04:45You shouldn't have ran in your mouth, then.
00:04:47Bullshit.
00:04:53No!
00:04:57I'll give you a chance to kiss me and make this better.
00:05:00And make it good.
00:05:01You know I like it when you use your tongue, school slut.
00:05:03School slut.

00:18:55be how women describe your sorry dick.
00:18:57If I see one video of Ms. Westbrook online, I'll come after both of you.
00:19:04Come with me, Ms. Westbrook. Our lesson isn't over yet.
00:19:16Here's the textbook you need.
00:19:18You need something. Don't go to Prescott anymore.
00:19:22No charity case, Professor.
00:19:24This isn't out of the goodness of my heart.
00:19:27This is an investment in you and your talent.
00:19:38After what just happened, you just want me to play?
00:19:42Rule number two.
00:19:44Don't question my methods.
00:19:51My fingers are shaking.
00:19:53My heart is racing.
00:19:57All because of him.
00:19:59Your pulse is racing.
00:20:01Good.
00:20:02You need to learn to play under pressure.
00:20:06To take control.
00:20:11You can do it.
00:20:20Teach me, Professor.
00:20:27Please.
00:20:40Music.
00:20:41Music.
00:20:41My only savior.
00:20:43My only voice.
00:20:45With my fingers on the black and ivory keys.
00:20:48It's the only time I'm truly free.
00:20:53When my parents died, they left me with nothing but this piano.
00:20:57And my bastard brother.
00:21:02Where's your cash, bitch?
00:21:04I got the loan sharks after me.
00:21:05And if you don't pay them back,
00:21:07then I'm just going to ship you off to their strip club myself.
00:21:10Maybe you should grow a pair and clean up your own mess, big brother.
00:21:14Maybe you should watch your mouth.
00:21:17Or your fingers are going to pay a price.
00:21:21It is your fault!
00:21:23Then we are in the hole!
00:21:25Dad's son.
00:21:26The family business!
00:21:28To pay for your fancy music school.
00:21:32Hey, do you think that they'll refund me if I break your fingers?
00:21:35In your dreams!
00:21:40Oh, you're asking for it now.
00:21:42No, not my music sheets.
00:21:44No.
00:21:44Dad, I'll get every penny into your life insurance.
00:21:48You're worth more to be dead than a lot.
00:21:51Fall right on, you.
00:21:54You precious music shit and die with it!
00:22:08A man like him doesn't belong in a neighborhood like this.
00:22:11Hey!
00:22:12You almost killed my baby sister, you motherfucker!
00:22:16Look at, she's bleeding!
00:22:17I wasn't the one that shoved her into the middle of the road,
00:22:20so you might as well drop the act.
00:22:22All right, then.
00:22:24You are not.
00:22:24Give me your fucking keys and your wallet,
00:22:26or you're dead.
00:22:28Come and get it!
00:22:33Don't touch your sister again, you abusive piece of shit!

00:23:05Emmerich, what was all that noise?
00:23:07Detour.
00:23:08Almost out to school.
00:23:10Good.
00:23:11Don't want our new piano professor late on his first day.
00:23:15This professor's position at Le Moyne is my last chance.
00:23:18No distractions, Emmerich.
00:23:21Not at all.
00:23:25It's second semester of my freshman year at Le Moyne Conservatory,
00:23:29the most prestigious music college in the country.
00:23:31And I'm the only student here without a trust fund.
00:23:43Oops!
00:23:44Watch it.
00:23:45Trailer tramp?
00:23:47Hey, Ivory.
00:23:48Is your body count really higher than the number of keys on a piano?
00:23:53I didn't know the guys here are so into charity.
00:23:59It's true.
00:24:00The boys pay me to do their homework, then they do me.
00:24:04Their money keeps me in school instead of sleeping on the streets.
00:24:08We're getting pawned off as a plaything for loan sharks.
00:24:12But I won't give up until I get the Leopold Fellowship.
00:24:14It's what my dad always wanted.
00:24:18And it's my only way out of this hell.
00:24:20Have you heard?
00:24:21The new piano professor is recommending the next Leopold Fellow.
00:24:26Whoever gets picked is basically guaranteed this spot.
00:24:31And he is so hot.
00:24:34The Fellowship should be all I'm thinking about.
00:24:37And yeah.
00:24:39Keep it.
00:24:41Stop obsessing over some hot stranger ivory.
00:24:45You have a new professor to impress and the Fellowship to win.
00:24:48Come into class on another man's Maison Margiela jacket?
00:24:52What are you trying to make me jealous?
00:24:53A hot dog in a girl's mouth would make you jealous, Prescott.
00:24:57You played rough with this guy, huh?
00:25:01Be a good girl, Ivory.
00:25:02Get the jacket off and give it to me.
00:25:05You know, Prescott, only sad jerks like you need to beg girls to take their clothes off for you.
00:25:14What do we have here?
00:25:16In the back, Prescott.
00:25:17You want your dead daddy's photo back?
00:25:18Then give me the jacket, now.
00:25:21You shouldn't have run in your mouth, then.
00:25:23No!
00:25:33I'll give you a chance to kiss me and make this better.
00:25:35And make it good.
00:25:37You know I like it when you use your tongue, school slut.
00:25:51Back away.
00:25:54Not asking twice.
00:26:00She's my stuunt?
00:26:05It can't be.
00:26:07He's my new professor?
00:26:10He's my new professor?
00:26:12Go to the nurse.
00:26:13Get cleaned up.
00:26:18With all due respect, as long as I'm paying tuition, I won't let a scratch shortchange my education.
00:26:25First lesson in my class.
00:26:27Do not put your hands on a fellow student.
00:26:31Or what?
00:26:32You're going to report me to the dean?
00:26:33That's my mom, dumbass.
00:26:36Oh!
00:26:38Oh, I'll report you to her.
00:26:40After I tell the police you were assaulting a fellow classmate.
00:26:43You think you'll look cute in cuffs.
00:26:48That's what I thought.
00:26:49Find your seat, Mr. Rivet.
00:26:55For those of you who are ready to learn, I'm your theory professor, Emmerich Marceau.
00:27:00I'll also be mentoring some of you piano majors.
00:27:04Yes, I'll be recommending the Leopold Fellow.
00:27:07And yes, I only choose the best.
00:27:11He could be my mentor.
00:27:13He could recommend the fellowship.
00:27:15But that means private lessons every week alone with him.
00:27:21Each of you will be auditioning for me in my office.
00:27:25The rest of you can turn to chapter two in your textbooks.
00:27:33Do we have a problem, Miss?
00:27:37Westbrook?
00:27:39Ivory Westbrook?
00:27:40I'll have my book by Friday.
00:27:42Once I make enough money.
00:27:47Do you know the difference between musicians playing in Carnegie Hall and those begging on the street?
00:27:54He saved my life earlier.
00:27:56And now he's chewing me out like this?
00:27:58I should be furious.
00:27:59But why does my heart pound so hard when he's close?
00:28:03Discipline.
00:28:07Find your discipline.
00:28:09Or I won't waste my time with you.
00:28:11Understood.
00:28:17Don't worry.
00:28:18I'll drill her after school.
00:28:20I'll drill her real hard.
00:28:23One more word.
00:28:24And you're flunking this class.
00:28:27Bye-bye, Bahamas.
00:28:28Say hello to summer school.
00:28:32Your first step, Miss Westbrook.
00:28:33My office.
00:28:34Now.
00:28:35You don't have to do that.
00:28:37I told you I would get the books.
00:28:38You didn't have to call me out like that in front of the whole class.
00:28:41I don't know if you noticed, but how did you stop them from taunting you?
00:28:44Thanks, Professor.
00:28:44But I don't want your pity.
00:28:46You should just take this back.
00:28:48Not after all your classmates have already seen you in it.
00:28:53Keep it.
00:28:54Now tell me, why do your brother and classmates seem to take so much pleasure in making you
00:28:59suffer?
00:29:01I'm okay, Professor, but...
00:29:04Did your brother do this or was that prick Prescott?
00:29:08Just because you played hero doesn't mean you know shit about my life.
00:29:13Okay, I've been taking care of myself way before you showed up this morning.
00:29:17So really, Professor, I'm fine.
00:29:21That's it.
00:29:23Lift your shirt.
00:29:27What the hell?
00:29:29You're my professor.
00:29:30And I'm required to report any suspected child abuse to Protective Services.
00:29:34I am 19.
00:29:36I'm not a child.
00:29:37What I've witnessed this morning, you're going to have to prove to me that you don't have
00:29:40any other bruises or I'm going to be forced to make a call.
00:29:45I'll be forced to scream if you come any closer, Professor.
00:30:03That's enough.
00:30:05I won't touch you, Miss Westbrook.
00:30:08He could have taken advantage of me, but he didn't.
00:30:12There's no hunger in his eyes.
00:30:14Just worry.
00:30:15Maybe he's not like the others.
00:30:17Yeah.
00:30:18Why don't you show me what you got, Miss Westbrook?
00:30:24My dream, my dad's dream, all comes down to this.
00:30:29Deep breath.
00:30:31God, why won't my fingers move?
00:30:37I can help you, Miss Westbrook.
00:30:40You only have to trust me.
00:30:44I trust you, Professor.
00:30:47Good.
00:30:47Now, look ahead.
00:30:54I want you to forget everything.
00:31:01Now, wait for me, Miss Westbrook.
00:31:06His voice.
00:31:07His commands.
00:31:09Why is this warmth washing through my veins?
00:31:19Her plane isn't perfect, but it's raw to wild, powerful.
00:31:29I've never heard anything like it.
00:31:33That's enough.
00:31:37God, did I screw up that bad?
00:31:40Now, you may have noticed that I have some unconventional methods, which means I need a student
00:31:45who is 100% who is 100% committed to following my rules.
00:31:48Can you handle that?
00:31:50I know it's crazy, but I trust him.
00:31:53I've never played like that.
00:31:54He can help me become a better musician.
00:31:57I can.
00:31:58Professor, I'm committed.
00:32:00In that case, there's only one thing left to do.
00:32:03Did you hear that?
00:32:04We're like 30 seconds, and he already cut her off?
00:32:07She should have played trumpet if all she can do is blow.
00:32:11Oh, my God.
00:32:12Shut up.
00:32:15You're all dismissed.
00:32:16Go find another instructor.
00:32:21What the fuck just happened?
00:32:28Something's off between Ivory and that new professor.
00:32:32Considering we'll be in this very room for four hours every day,
00:32:36I have some ground rules to lay.
00:32:42First rule, no lies.
00:32:45So tell me, where were you going to get the money for your textbooks?
00:32:49It's none of your business.
00:32:52Second, do not question my methods.
00:32:57Third, never look away.
00:33:01Eyes on me.
00:33:02Always.
00:33:04Not once if you understand.
00:33:10Good girl.
00:33:13I pulled you five, Miss Westbrook.
00:33:164.0 GPA.
00:33:18The only scholarship student.
00:33:20My school was the same.
00:33:22But thanks to his mentor,
00:33:24the scholarship kid,
00:33:25got the Leopold Fellowship
00:33:26and wound up playing in the Lincoln Center.
00:33:28You know what he's doing today.
00:33:30What?
00:33:32He's talking to you.
00:33:34I'll give you my address and door pin
00:33:36if you don't have anywhere else to go.
00:33:39You come to me.
00:33:41Look at me.
00:33:43I'm on your side, Miss Westbrook.
00:33:45Professor Marceau?
00:33:48Oh.
00:33:54Oh, I didn't know you were with a student, Professor Marceau.
00:33:57Just routine audition, Dean Rivett.
00:34:00You're dismissed, Miss Westbrook.
00:34:14Now play for me, Miss Westbrook.
00:34:18Miss Westbrook.
00:34:18Stop it.
00:34:19He's your professor.
00:34:21Quit fantasizing about him
00:34:22and walk away.
00:34:27I'll cut to the chase, Emmerich.
00:34:29I don't care who you mentor,
00:34:32but you're giving my son, Prescott,
00:34:34the Leopold Fellowship.
00:34:36You're going to report me to the dean?
00:34:37That's my mom, dumbass.
00:34:39What?
00:34:40Is this why you hired me?
00:34:42It's not that hard.
00:34:44Every year, the judges pick
00:34:46whoever the head piano instructor picks.
00:34:48The only other candidate is Ivory Westbrook.
00:34:53And she has a reputation
00:34:54of being very close with the boys here.
00:35:00That got your attention.
00:35:02Don't tell me you're giving Miss Westbrook
00:35:05special attention.
00:35:06She's my student.
00:35:08Exactly.
00:35:09So tell Ivory to back off
00:35:11or I'll ruin her
00:35:13and she'll have no future left.
00:35:15Don't forget,
00:35:17I gave you a fresh start here, Emmerich.
00:35:31Oh, Professor.
00:35:33So, about Leopold...
00:35:34Miss Westbrook.
00:35:36Maybe the Fellowship
00:35:37isn't the best option for you.
00:35:39Wait.
00:35:41You just promised to help me
00:35:42and now you're already
00:35:43going back on your word?
00:35:46You're hiding something from me,
00:35:48aren't you?
00:35:49Wait.
00:35:50She knows about my deal with the dean.
00:35:54Admit it.
00:35:55You never thought
00:35:55I was good enough for Leopold.
00:35:57I'm just saying
00:35:57there are plenty of other opportunities
00:35:59for you to consider.
00:36:00Why should I?
00:36:02Why should I give up?
00:36:04To stay safe
00:36:05from people like
00:36:05Beverly and Prescott Riverd.
00:36:07Tell Ivory to back off
00:36:09or I'll ruin her.
00:36:10So you'll use your
00:36:11experimental methods on me,
00:36:13but when you crush my dreams,
00:36:15you won't even say why.
00:36:18Why?
00:36:25You want to know why?
00:36:27Because of childish behavior like this.
00:36:29You're not ready.
00:36:31End of discussion.
00:36:42I'm not in the mood, Prescott.
00:36:44I've been patient enough, Ivory.
00:36:45You can't keep a customer
00:36:46waiting forever.
00:36:55I thought I heard her voice.
00:36:57Where did she go?
00:37:06Oh my God.
00:37:08Fucking touched me, Prescott.
00:37:09You know I don't need to touch you
00:37:10to make you my bitch.
00:37:18500, if you lose a shirt.
00:37:20Oh, come on, Ivory.
00:37:22I know your price.
00:37:23You want money for rent?
00:37:25Books?
00:37:26Then strip.
00:37:29Now I guess I'll just sell you
00:37:30to the strip club myself.
00:37:33I need that money
00:37:34or this is what the rest
00:37:36of my life will look like.
00:37:45Oh my God.
00:37:50Now.
00:37:52Underwear.
00:37:55Oh my God.
00:38:00I'm on your side, Ms. Westbrook.
00:38:02He's just my professor, but why am I praying that he'll come for me?
00:38:08Stop being such a prude school slut.
00:38:11Yeah, come on, Ivory.
00:38:13Those racks are basically school property, okay?
00:38:17Stop testing my patience, Ivory.
00:38:19I'm not paying until I get my dick wet.
00:38:24He's a professor, isn't he?
00:38:25I saw the way you look at him.
00:38:27You're just begging him to shove that baton all the way up here.
00:38:30Maybe I'm just done being your personal rag doll.
00:38:36Acting out in class, huh?
00:38:38You're practically begging for us.
00:38:40No.
00:38:42Let me go.
00:38:43Stop.
00:38:43Help.
00:38:45That's where the brass players empty their spit.
00:38:48Hey, Scott.
00:38:50Oh, she'll be fine.
00:38:52We all know she's so great at swallowing.
00:39:22I'm going to finish.
00:39:24Mr. River, if we keep meeting like this, I'll break your fingers until the only piano in your life will
00:39:30be how women describe you. Sorry, dick.
00:39:33If I see one video of Miss Westbrook online, I'll come after both of you.
00:39:39Come with me, Miss Westbrook. Our lesson isn't over yet.
00:39:52Here's the textbook you need.
00:39:53If you need something, don't go to Prescott anymore.
00:39:57No charity case, Professor.
00:39:59This isn't out of the goodness of my heart. This is an investment in you and your talent.
00:40:13After what just happened, you just want me to play?
00:40:17Rule number two. Don't question my methods.
00:40:26My fingers are shaking.
00:40:29My heart is racing.
00:40:32All because of him.
00:40:34Your pulse is racing.
00:40:37Good.
00:40:38You need to learn to play under pressure.
00:40:42To take control.
00:40:47You can do it.
00:40:56Teach me, Professor.
00:41:03Please.
00:41:15Music.
00:41:17My only savior.
00:41:19My only voice.
00:41:21With my fingers on the black and ivory keys,
00:41:23it's the only time I'm truly free.
00:41:28When my parents died,
00:41:30they left me with nothing but this piano
00:41:33and my bastard brother.
00:41:37Where's your cash, bitch?
00:41:39I'll get the loan sharks after me.
00:41:41And if you don't pay them back,
00:41:43I'm just going to ship you off to their strip club myself.
00:41:46Maybe you should grow a pair and clean up your own mess, big brother.
00:41:50Maybe you should watch your mouth.
00:41:52Or your fingers are going to pay a price.
00:41:57It is your fault that we are in the hole.
00:42:01Dad, son.
00:42:02The family business to pay for your fancy music school.
00:42:07Did you think that they'll refund me if I break your fingers?
00:42:11In your dreams.
00:42:16Oh, you're asking for it now.
00:42:18Not my music sheets.
00:42:19No.
00:42:19Dad, I'll get every penny into your life insurance.
00:42:23You're worth more to be dead than a lot.
00:42:26Fall right on, you.
00:42:29Thank you precious music shit and die with it.
00:42:43A man like him doesn't belong in a neighborhood like this.
00:42:47Hey!
00:42:47You almost killed my baby sister, you motherfucker!
00:42:51Look at she's bleeding!
00:42:53I wasn't the one that shoved her into the middle of the road,
00:42:55so you might as well drop the act.
00:42:58All right then.
00:42:59You are not!
00:43:00Give me your fucking keys in your wallet or you're dead.
00:43:03Come and get it.
00:43:08Fuck!
00:43:08Don't touch your sister again, you abusive piece of shit!
00:43:21Keep it.
00:43:23It's cold in the rain.
00:43:28A stranger...
00:43:29saved me?
00:43:33Who is he?
00:43:41Emmerich, what was all that noise?
00:43:43Detour.
00:43:44Almost after school.
00:43:46Good.
00:43:47Don't want our new piano professor late on his first day.
00:43:50This professor position at Le Moyne is my last chance.
00:43:54No distractions, Emmerich.
00:43:57Not at all.
00:44:01It's second semester of my freshman year at Le Moyne Conservatory.
00:44:04The most prestigious music college in the country.
00:44:07And I'm the only student here without a trust fund.
00:44:21It's second semester of my freshman year at Le Moyne's last year at Le Moyne's last year at Le Moyne's
00:44:25last year at Le Moyne's last year at Le Moyne's last year.
00:44:40Their money keeps me in school instead of sleeping on the streets.
00:44:43We're getting pawned off as a plaything for loan sharks.
00:44:47But I won't give up until I get the Leopold Fellowship.
00:44:51It's what my dad always wanted.
00:44:53And it's my only way out of this hell.
00:44:55Have you heard?
00:44:56The new piano professor is recommending the next Leopold Fellow.
00:45:01Whoever gets picked is basically guaranteed the spot.
00:45:06And he is so hot.
00:45:10The Fellowship should be all I'm thinking about.
00:45:13And yeah.
00:45:14Keep it.
00:45:17Stop obsessing over some hot stranger, Ivory.
00:45:20You have a new professor to impress and a Fellowship to win.
00:45:24Coming to class on another man's Maison Margiela jacket?
00:45:27What are you trying to make me jealous?
00:45:29A hot dog in a girl's mouth would make you jealous, Prescott.
00:45:33You played rough with this guy, huh?
00:45:36Be a good girl, Ivory.
00:45:38Take the jacket off and give it to me.
00:45:40You know, Prescott, only sad jerks like you need to beg girls to take their clothes off for you.
00:45:50What do we have here?
00:45:51In the back, Prescott.
00:45:52You want your dead daddy's photo back?
00:45:54Then give me the jacket, now.
00:45:57You shouldn't have run in your mouth, then.
00:46:04No!
00:46:08I'll give you a chance to kiss me and make this better.
00:46:11And make it good.
00:46:12You know I like it when you use your tongue, school slut.
00:46:15School slut!
00:46:17School slut!
00:46:17School slut!
00:46:19School slut!
00:46:21School slut!
00:46:22School slut!
00:46:23School slut!
00:46:24School slut!
00:46:27Back away.
00:46:29Not asking twice.
00:46:36She's my student?
00:46:41It can't be.
00:46:42He's my new professor?
00:46:45He's my new professor?
00:46:47Go to the nurse.
00:46:49Get cleaned up.
00:46:54With all due respect, as long as I'm paying tuition, I won't let a scratch shortchange my education.
00:47:00First lesson in my class.
00:47:02Do not put your hands on a fellow student.
00:47:06Or what?
00:47:07You're going to report me to the dean?
00:47:09That's my mom, dumbass.
00:47:13Oh, I'll report you to her.
00:47:15After I tell the police you were assaulting a fellow classmate.
00:47:19You think you'll look cute in cuffs.
00:47:23That's what I thought.
00:47:25Find your seat, Mr. Rivett.
00:47:30For those of you who are ready to learn, I'm your theory professor, Emmerich Marceau.
00:47:36I'll also be mentoring some of you piano majors.
00:47:39Yes, I'll be recommending the Leopold Fellow.
00:47:43And yes, I only choose the best.
00:47:46He could be my mentor.
00:47:48He could recommend the fellowship.
00:47:50But that means private lessons every week alone with him.
00:47:56Each of you will be auditioning for me in my office.
00:48:00The rest of you can turn to chapter two in your textbooks.
00:48:09Do we have a problem?
00:48:11Miss?
00:48:13Westbrook?
00:48:14Ivory Westbrook?
00:48:16I'll have my book by Friday.
00:48:18Once I make enough money.
00:48:23Do you know the difference between musicians playing in Carnegie Hall and those begging on the street?
00:48:29He saved my life earlier.
00:48:31And now he's chewing me out like this?
00:48:34I should be furious.
00:48:35But why does my heart punch so hard when he's close?
00:48:39Discipline.
00:48:42Find your discipline.
00:48:44Or I won't waste my time with you.
00:48:47Understood.
00:48:52Don't worry.
00:48:53I'll drill her after school.
00:48:55I'll drill her real hard.
00:48:58One more word.
00:49:00And you're flunking this class.
00:49:02Bye-bye Bahamas.
00:49:04Say hello to summer school.
00:49:07You're first up, Miss Westbrook.
00:49:09My office.
00:49:10Now.
00:49:11You didn't have to do that.
00:49:13I told you I would get the book so you didn't have to call me out like that in front
00:49:16of the whole class.
00:49:16I don't know if you noticed, but I just stopped them from taunting you.
00:49:19Thanks, Professor, but I don't want your pity.
00:49:22You should just take this back.
00:49:24Not after all your classmates have already seen you in it.
00:49:28Keep it.
00:49:30Now tell me, why do your brother and classmates seem to take so much pleasure in making you suffer?
00:49:36I'm okay, Professor, but...
00:49:40Did your brother do this or was that prick Prescott?
00:49:44Just because you played hero doesn't mean you know shit about my life.
00:49:48Okay, I've been taking care of myself way before you showed up this morning, so really, Professor, I'm fine.
00:49:57That's it.
00:49:58Lift your shirt.
00:50:03What the hell?
00:50:05You're my professor.
00:50:06And I'm required to report any suspected child abuse to Protective Services.
00:50:10I am 19.
00:50:11I'm not a child.
00:50:12What I've witnessed this morning, you're going to have to prove to me that you don't have any other bruises
00:50:16or I'm going to be forced to make a call.
00:50:21I'll be forced to scream if you come any closer, Professor.
00:50:39That's enough.
00:50:40I won't touch you, Miss Westbrook.
00:50:44He could have taken advantage of me, but he didn't.
00:50:47There's no hunger in his eyes.
00:50:49Just worry.
00:50:51Maybe he's not like the others.
00:50:53Now, why don't you show me what you got, Miss Westbrook?
00:51:00My dream, my dad's dream, all comes down to this.
00:51:05Deep breath.
00:51:07God, why won't my fingers move?
00:51:12I can help you, Miss Westbrook.
00:51:15You only have to trust me.
00:51:19I trust you, Professor.
00:51:22Good.
00:51:24Now, look ahead.
00:51:30I want you to forget everything.
00:51:37Now, wait for me, Miss Westbrook.
00:51:42His voice, his commands.
00:51:45What is this warmth rushing through my veins?
00:51:55Her plane isn't perfect, but it's raw to wild, powerful.
00:52:04I've never heard anything like it.
00:52:08That's enough.
00:52:12God, did I screw up that bad?
00:52:15Now, you may have noticed that I have some unconventional methods, which means I need a student who is 100
00:52:21% committed to following my rules.
00:52:23Can you handle that?
00:52:25I know it's crazy, but I trust him.
00:52:28I've never played like that.
00:52:30He can help me become a better musician.
00:52:33I can't.
00:52:34Professor, I'm committed.
00:52:36In that case, there's only one thing left to do.
00:52:38Did you hear that?
00:52:39For like 30 seconds, and he already cut her off?
00:52:42She should have played trumpet if all she can do is blow.
00:52:46I'm so sorry.
00:52:50You're all dismissed.
00:52:52Go find another instructor.
00:52:57What the fuck just happened?
00:53:03Something's off between Ivory and that new professor.
00:53:08Considering we'll be in this very room for four hours every day.
00:53:11I have some ground rules to lay.
00:53:14Okay.
00:53:15Okay.
00:53:18First rule, no lies.
00:53:21So tell me, where were you going to get the money for your textbooks?
00:53:25It's none of your business.
00:53:27Second, do not question my methods.
00:53:33Third, never look away.
00:53:36Eyes on me.
00:53:38Always.
00:53:40Not once if you understand.
00:53:45Good girl.
00:53:47Why are you doing all this?
00:53:49I pulled you fire, Miss Westbrook.
00:53:524.0 GPA.
00:53:53The only scholarship student.
00:53:55My school was the same.
00:53:57But thanks to his mentor, the scholarship kid, got the Leopold Fellowship and wound up playing in the Lincoln Center.
00:54:04You know what he's doing today.
00:54:06What?
00:54:07He's talking to you.
00:54:09I'll give you my address and door pin if you don't have anywhere else to go.
00:54:14You come to me.
00:54:16Look at me.
00:54:18I'm on your side, Miss Westbrook.
00:54:21Professor Marceau?
00:54:24Oh.
00:54:29Oh, I didn't know you were with a student, Professor Marceau.
00:54:33Just routine audition, Dean River.
00:54:35You're dismissed, Miss Westbrook.
00:54:50Now play for me, Miss Westbrook.
00:54:53Stop it.
00:54:54He's your professor.
00:54:56Quit fantasizing about him and walk away.
00:55:03I'll cut to the chase, Emmerich.
00:55:05I don't care who you mentor, but you're giving my son, Prescott, the Leopold Fellowship.
00:55:11You're going to appoint me to the dean?
00:55:12That's my mom, dumbass.
00:55:15What?
00:55:16Is this why you hired me?
00:55:18It's not that hard.
00:55:20Every year, the judges pick whoever the head piano instructor picks.
00:55:24The only other candidate is Ivory Westbrook.
00:55:29And she has a reputation of being very close with the boys here.
00:55:35That got your attention.
00:55:37Don't tell me you're giving Miss Westbrook special attention.
00:55:41She's my student.
00:55:43Exactly.
00:55:44So tell Ivory to back off or I'll ruin her and she'll have no future left.
00:55:51Don't forget, I gave you a fresh start here, Emmerich.
00:56:07Oh, Professor.
00:56:08So, about Leopold...
00:56:10Miss Westbrook.
00:56:11Maybe the Fellowship isn't the best option for you.
00:56:14Wait.
00:56:16You just promised to help me.
00:56:18And now you're already going back on your word?
00:56:21You're hiding something from me, aren't you?
00:56:25Wait.
00:56:26She knows about my deal with the dean.
00:56:29Admit it.
00:56:30You never thought I was good enough for Leopold.
00:56:32I'm just saying there are plenty of other opportunities for you to consider.
00:56:36Why should I?
00:56:37Why should I give up?
00:56:39To stay safe from people like Beverly and Prescott River.
00:56:42Tell Ivory to back off or I'll ruin her.
00:56:45So you'll use your experimental methods on me.
00:56:49But when you crush my dreams, you won't even say why.
00:57:00You want to know why?
00:57:02Because of childish behavior like this.
00:57:04You're not ready.
00:57:07End of discussion.
00:57:08End of discussion.
00:57:09End of discussion.
00:57:15End of discussion.
00:57:18I'm not in the mood, Prescott.
00:57:20I've been patient enough, Ivory.
00:57:21You can't keep a customer waiting forever.
00:57:30I thought I heard her voice.
00:57:32Where did she go?
00:57:41Oh my God.
00:57:43Fucking touch me, Prescott.
00:57:45You know I don't need to touch you to make you my bitch.
00:57:53$500.
00:57:54You could lose your shirt.
00:57:56Oh, come on, Ivory.
00:57:57I know your price.
00:57:59You want money for rent?
00:58:00Books?
00:58:01Then strip.
00:58:05I guess I'll just sell you to the strip club myself.
00:58:08I need that money.
00:58:10Or this is what the rest of my life will look like.
00:58:13Strip, strip, strip, strip, strip, strip, strip, strip, strip, strip, strip, strip, strip, strip, strip, strip, strip, strip, strip, strip,

01:02:51Oh, you're asking for it now.
01:02:53No, not my music sheets.
01:02:55No.
01:02:55Dad, I'll get every penny into your life insurance.
01:02:59You're worth more to be dead than a lot.
01:03:02Fall right on, you.
01:03:05Think you precious music shit and die with it.
01:03:19A man like him doesn't belong in a neighborhood like this.
01:03:22Hey, you almost killed my baby sister, you motherfucker.
01:03:27Look at, she's bleeding.
01:03:28I wasn't the one that shoved her into the middle of the road,
01:03:31so you might as well drop the act.
01:03:33All right, then.
01:03:35You are not.
01:03:35Give me your fucking keys and your wallet or you're dead.
01:03:39Come and get it.
01:03:44Don't touch your sister again, you abusive piece of shit.
01:03:57Keep it.
01:03:58It's cold in the rain.
01:04:02A stranger saved me?
01:04:09Who is he?
01:04:16Emmerich, what was all that noise?
01:04:18Detour.
01:04:19Almost at school.
01:04:21Good.
01:04:22Don't want our new piano professor late on his first day.
01:04:26This professor position at Le Moyne is my last chance.
01:04:29No distractions, Emmerich.
01:04:32Not at all.
01:04:36It's second semester of my freshman year at Le Moyne Conservatory,
01:04:40the most prestigious music college in the country.
01:04:43And I'm the only student here without a trust fund.
01:04:54Oops.
01:04:55Watch it.
01:04:56Trailer tramp.
01:04:58Hey, Ivory.
01:04:59Is your body count really higher than the number of keys on a piano?
01:05:04I didn't know the guys here are so into charity.
01:05:10It's true.
01:05:11The boys pay me to do their homework, and they do me.
01:05:15Their money keeps me in school instead of sleeping on the streets.
01:05:19We're getting pawned off as a plaything for loan sharks.
01:05:23But I won't give up until I get the Leopold Fellowship.
01:05:26It's what my dad always wanted.
01:05:28And it's my only way out of this hell.
01:05:31Have you heard?
01:05:32The new piano professor is recommending the next Leopold Fellow.
01:05:37Whoever gets picked is basically guaranteed this spot.
01:05:42And he is so hot.
01:05:45He is.
01:05:46The fellowship should be all I'm thinking about.
01:05:48And yeah.
01:05:50Keep it.
01:05:52Stop obsessing over some hot stranger ivory.
01:05:56You have a new professor to impress, and his fellowship to win.
01:05:59Coming to class on another man's Maison Margiela jacket?
01:06:03What are you trying to make me jealous?
01:06:04A hot dog in a girl's mouth would make you jealous, Prescott.
01:06:09You played rough with this guy, huh?
01:06:12Be a good girl, Ivory.
01:06:13Pick the jacket off and give it to me.
01:06:16You know, Prescott, only sad jerks like you need to beg girls to take their clothes off for you.
01:06:25What do we have here?
01:06:27In the back, press five.
01:06:28You want your dead daddy's photo back?
01:06:29Then give me the jacket, now.
01:06:32You shouldn't have run in your mouth, then.
01:06:34Oh, shit.
01:06:39No!
01:06:44I'll give you a chance to kiss me and make this better.
01:06:46And make it good.
01:06:48You know I like it when you use your tongue, school slut.
01:06:50School slut.
01:06:52School slut.
01:06:53School slut.
01:06:54School slut.
01:06:56School slut.
01:06:57School slut.
01:06:58School slut.
01:06:59School slut.
01:06:59School slut.
01:07:03Back away.
01:07:05Not asking twice.
01:07:11She's my student.
01:07:16It can't be.
01:07:18He's my new professor.
01:07:21He's my new professor?
01:07:23Go to the nurse.
01:07:24Get cleaned up.
01:07:29With all due respect, as long as I'm paying tuition, I won't let a scratch shortchange my education.
01:07:36First lesson in my class.
01:07:38Do not put your hands on a fellow student.
01:07:42Or what?
01:07:43You're going to report me to the dean?
01:07:44That's my mom, dumbass.
01:07:47Oh, I'll report you to her.
01:07:51After I tell the police you were assaulting a fellow classmate.
01:07:54You think you'll look cute and tough.
01:07:59That's what I thought.
01:08:01Find your seat, Mr. Rivett.
01:08:06For those of you who are ready to learn, I'm your theory professor, Emmerich Marceau.
01:08:12I'll also be mentoring some of you piano majors.
01:08:15Yes, I'll be recommending the Leopold Fellow.
01:08:18And yes, I only choose the best.
01:08:21He could be my mentor.
01:08:24He could recommend the fellowship.
01:08:26But that means private lessons every week alone with him.
01:08:32Each of you will be auditioning for me in my office.
01:08:35The rest of you can turn to chapter two in your textbooks.
01:08:44Do we have a problem, Miss?
01:08:48Westbrook?
01:08:50Ivory Westbrook?
01:08:51I'll have my book by Friday.
01:08:53Once I make enough money.
01:08:59Do you know the difference between musicians playing in Carnegie Hall and those begging on the street?
01:09:04He saved my life earlier, and now he's chewing me out like this?
01:09:09I should be furious, but why does my heart pound so hard when he's close?
01:09:15Discipline.
01:09:18Find your discipline, or I won't waste my time with you.
01:09:23Understood.
01:09:27Don't worry.
01:09:29I'll drill her after school.
01:09:30I'll drill her real hard.
01:09:34One more word, and you're flunking this class.
01:09:38Bye-bye, Bahamas.
01:09:39Say hello to summer school.
01:09:43Your first step, Miss Westbrook.
01:09:44My office.
01:09:45Now.
01:09:47You didn't have to do that.
01:09:48I told you I would get the books.
01:09:49You didn't have to call me out like that in front of the whole class.
01:09:52I don't know if you noticed, but I just stopped them from taunting you.
01:09:55Thanks, Professor, but I don't want your pity.
01:09:57You should just take this back.
01:10:00Not after all your classmates have already seen you in it.
01:10:04Keep it.
01:10:05Now tell me, why do your brother and classmates seem to take so much pleasure in making you suffer?
01:10:12I'm okay, Professor, but...
01:10:15Did your brother do this, or was that prick Prescott?
01:10:19Just because you played hero doesn't mean you know shit about my life.
01:10:24Okay, I've been taking care of myself way before you showed up this morning, so really, Professor?
01:10:29I'm fine.
01:10:32That's it.
01:10:34Lift your shirt.
01:10:38What the hell?
01:10:40You're my professor.
01:10:41And I'm required to report any suspected child abuse to Protective Services.
01:10:45I am 19.
01:10:46I'm not a child.
01:10:48I've witnessed this morning, and you're going to have to prove to me that you don't have any other bruises,
01:10:52or I'm going to be forced to make a call.
01:10:56I'll be forced to scream if you come any closer, Professor.
01:11:14That's enough.
01:11:16I won't touch you, Miss Westbrook.
01:11:19He could have taken advantage of me, but he didn't.
01:11:23There's no hunger in his eyes.
01:11:25Just worry.
01:11:26Maybe he's not like the others.
01:11:28Now, why don't you show me what you got, Miss Westbrook?
01:11:35My dream, my dad's dream, all comes down to this.
01:11:41Deep breath.
01:11:42God, why won't my fingers move?
01:11:48I can help you, Miss Westbrook.
01:11:51You only have to trust me.
01:11:55I trust you, Professor.
01:11:58Good.
01:12:00Now, look ahead.
01:12:06I want you to forget everything.
01:12:14Now, wait for me, Miss Westbrook.
01:12:17His voice, his commands.
01:12:21What is this warmth of washing through my veins?
01:12:30Her plane isn't perfect, but it's raw, wild, powerful.
01:12:40I've never heard anything like it.
01:12:44That's enough.
01:12:48God, did I screw up that bad?
01:12:51Now, you may have noticed that I have some unconventional methods, which means I need a
01:12:56student who is 100% committed to following my rules.
01:12:59Can you handle that?
01:13:01I know it's crazy, but I trust him.
01:13:04I've never played like that.
01:13:06He can help me become a better musician.
01:13:08I can.
01:13:09Professor, I'm committed.
01:13:11In that case, there's only one thing left to do.
01:13:14Did you hear that?
01:13:15We're like 30 seconds, and he already cut her off?
01:13:18She should have played trumpet if all she can do is blow.
01:13:26You're all dismissed.
01:13:28Go find another instructor.
01:13:32What the fuck just happened?
01:13:39Something's off between Ivory and that new professor.
01:13:43Considering we'll be in this very room for four hours every day, I have some ground rules
01:13:48to lay.
01:13:53First rule, no lies.
01:13:57So tell me, where were you going to get the money for your textbooks?
01:14:00It's none of your business.
01:14:03Second, do not question my methods.
01:14:08Third, never look away.
01:14:11Eyes on me.
01:14:13Always.
01:14:15Not once if you understand.
01:14:21Good girl.
01:14:23Why are you doing always?
01:14:24I pulled you fire, Miss Westbrook.
01:14:274.0 GPA.
01:14:29The only scholarship student.
01:14:31My school was the same.
01:14:33But thanks to his mentor, the scholarship kid, got the Leopold Fellowship and wound up playing
01:14:38in the Lincoln Center.
01:14:40You know what he's doing today.
01:14:42What?
01:14:43He's talking to you.
01:14:45I'll give you my address and door pin.
01:14:48If you don't have anywhere else to go, you come to me.
01:14:52Look at me.
01:14:54I'm on your side, Miss Westbrook.
01:14:56Professor Marceau?
01:15:00Oh.
01:15:05Oh, I didn't know you were with a student, Professor Marceau.
01:15:08Just routine audition, Dean Rivett.
01:15:11You're dismissed, Miss Westbrook.
01:15:25Now play for me, Miss Westbrook.
01:15:29Stop it.
01:15:30He's your professor.
01:15:32Quit fantasizing about him and walk away.
01:15:38I'll cut to the chase, Emmerich.
01:15:40I don't care who you mentor, but you're giving my son, Prescott, the Leopold Fellowship.
01:15:47You're going to report me to the dean?
01:15:48That's my mom, dumbass.
01:15:50What?
01:15:51Is this why you hired me?
01:15:53It's not that hard.
01:15:55Every year, the judges pick whoever the head piano instructor picks.
01:15:59The only other candidate is Ivory Westbrook.
01:16:04And she has a reputation of being very close with the boys here.
01:16:11That got your attention.
01:16:13Don't tell me you're giving Miss Westbrook special attention.
01:16:17She's my student.
01:16:18Exactly.
01:16:20So tell Ivory to back off, or I'll ruin her, and she'll have no future left.
01:16:26Don't forget, I gave you a fresh start here, Emmerich.
01:16:42Oh, Professor.
01:16:44So, about Leopold...
01:16:45Miss Westbrook, maybe the fellowship isn't the best option for you.
01:16:50Wait.
01:16:52You just promised to help me, and now you're already going back on your word?
01:16:57You're hiding something from me, aren't you?
01:17:00Wait.
01:17:01She knows about my deal with the dean.
01:17:05Admit it.
01:17:06You never thought I was good enough for Leopold.
01:17:08I'm just saying there are plenty of other opportunities for you to consider.
01:17:11Why should I?
01:17:13Why should I give up?
01:17:15To stay safe from people like Beverly and Prescott Riverd.
01:17:18Tell Ivory to back off, or I'll ruin her.
01:17:21So you'll use your experimental methods on me,
01:17:25but when you crush my dreams, you won't even say why.
01:17:36Do you want to know why?
01:17:38Because of childish behavior like this.
01:17:40You're not ready.
01:17:42End of discussion.
01:17:53I'm not in the mood, Prescott.
01:17:55I've been patient enough, Ivory.
01:17:56You can't keep a customer waiting forever.
01:18:06I thought I heard her voice.
01:18:08Where did she go?
01:18:17Oh my God.
01:18:19Fucking touched me, Prescott.
01:18:20You know I don't need to touch you to make you my bitch.
01:18:28Five hundred, if you lose a shirt.
01:18:31Oh, come on, Ivory.
01:18:33I know your price.
01:18:34You want money for rent?
01:18:36Books?
01:18:37Then strip.
01:18:40Now I guess I'll just sell you to the strip club myself.
01:18:44I need that money, or this is what the rest of my life will look like.
01:19:03Now...
01:19:04Underwear.
01:19:11I'm on your side, Ms. Whisperer.
01:19:13He's just my professor, but why am I praying that he'll come for me?
01:19:19Stop being such a prude school slut.
01:19:22Yeah, come on, Ivory.
01:19:24Those racks are basically school property, okay?
01:19:28Stop testing my patience, Ivory.
01:19:30I'm not paying until I get my dick wet.
01:19:32I'm not paying until I get my dick wet.
01:19:35He's a professor, isn't he?
01:19:37I saw the way you look at him.
01:19:38You're just begging him to shove that baton all the way up here.
01:19:41Maybe I'm just done being your personal rag doll.
01:19:47Acting out in class, huh?
01:19:49You're practically begging for us.
01:19:51No.
01:19:53Let me go.
01:19:54Stop.
01:19:55Help.
01:19:55Aw.
01:19:56That's where the brass players and teeth are spit.
01:19:59Hey, Scott.
01:20:01Oh, she'll be fine.
01:20:03We all know she's so great at swallowing.
01:20:07Chop, chop, chop, chop.
01:20:09Chop, chop, chop, chop, chop.
01:20:12Chop, chop, chop, chop.
01:20:14Chop, chop, chop, chop, chop, chop.
01:20:16Chop, chop, chop, chop.
01:20:17Oh.
01:20:18All right.
01:20:23Take your hands off her.
01:20:29It seems like some of us still need a reminder of classroom etiquette.
01:20:35That's the river.
01:20:37If we keep meeting like this, I'll break your fingers until the only piano in your life will be how
01:20:42women describe your sorry dick.
01:20:44If I see one video of Miss Westbrook online, I'll come after both of you.
01:20:50Come with me, Miss Westbrook.
01:20:52Our lesson isn't over yet.
01:21:03Here's the textbook you need.
01:21:05You need something. Don't go to Prescott anymore.
01:21:08No charity case, Professor.
01:21:10This isn't out of the goodness of my heart.
01:21:13This is an investment in you and your talent.
01:21:25After what just happened, you just want me to play?
01:21:29Rule number two.
01:21:30Don't question my methods.
01:21:37My fingers are shaking.
01:21:39My heart is racing.
01:21:43All because of him.
01:21:45Your pulse is racing.
01:21:48Good.
01:21:50You need to learn to play under pressure.
01:21:53To take control.
01:21:57You can do it.
01:21:59You can do it.
01:22:06Teach me, Professor.
01:22:13Please.
01:22:17Let's do it.
01:22:17Take aber.
01:22:19Look at it.
01:22:19Take care.
01:22:20Put it in.
01:22:20You can do it.
01:22:20You can do it.
01:22:21You can do it.
01:22:25Here, let's do it.
01:22:26Let's see.
01:22:26Take care.
01:22:26And if you been there.
01:22:27Your life can do it as when you are on Instagram.
