00:00:05Music. 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.
00:00:25Where's your cash, bitch? I'll get the loan sharks after me and if you don't pay them back, then I'm
00:00:30just gonna ship you off to their strip club myself.
00:00:33Maybe you should grow a pair and clean up your own mess, big brother.
00:00:36Maybe you should watch your mouth, or your fingers are gonna pay a price.
00:00:42It is your fault! Then we are in the hole! Dad sang the filming business to pay for your fancy
00:00:50music school.
00:00:52Hey, do you think that they'll refund me if I break your fingers?
00:00:55In your dreams!
00:00:59Oh, you're asking for it now. No, not my music sheets. No.
00:01:03Dad, I'll get every penny into your life insurance. You're worth more to be dead than a lot.
00:01:09Well, right on, keep seeking precious music shit and die with it!
00:01:25A man like him doesn't belong in a neighborhood like this.
00:01:27Hey! You almost killed my baby sister, you motherfucker! Lookit, she's bleeding!
00:01:33I wasn't the one that shoved her into the middle of the road, so you might as well drop the
00:01:36act.
00:01:38Alright then.
00:01:39You are not! Give me your fucking keys and your wallet, or you're dead!
00:01:43Come and get it!
00:01:47Fuck it up!
00:01:48Don't touch your sister again, you abusive piece of shit!
00:01:59Keep it. It's cold in the rain.
00:02:05A stranger... saved me?
00:02:10Who is he?
00:02:17Emmerich, what was all that noise?
00:02:19Detour. Almost at school.
00:02:21Good. Don't want our new piano professor late on his first day.
00:02:25This professor position at Le Moyne is my last chance.
00:02:29No distractions, Emmerich.
00:02:31Not at all.
00:02:36It's second semester of my freshman year at Le Moyne Conservatory.
00:02:39The most prestigious music college in the country.
00:02:41And I'm the only student here without a trust fund.
00:02:52Oops!
00:02:53Watch it!
00:02:54Trailer tramp?
00:02:56Hey Ivory, is your body count really higher than the number of keys on a piano?
00:03:01I didn't know the guys here are so into charity.
00:03:06It's true. The boys pay me to do their homework, and they do me.
00:03:11Their money keeps me in school instead of sleeping on the streets.
00:03:14Or getting pawned off as a plaything for loan sharks.
00:03:18But I won't give up until I get the Leopold Fellowship.
00:03:21It's what my dad always wanted.
00:03:23And it's my only way out of this hell.
00:03:25Have you heard?
00:03:26The new piano professor is recommending the next Leopold fellow.
00:03:31Whoever gets picked is basically guaranteed the spot.
00:03:35And he is so hot.
00:03:38He is.
00:03:39The fellowship should be all I'm thinking about.
00:03:41Keep it.
00:03:44Stop obsessing over some hot stranger ivory.
00:03:48You have a new professor to impress and a fellowship to win.
00:03:51Come into class on another man's Maison Margiela jacket?
00:03:54What are you trying to make me jealous?
00:03:56A hot dog in a girl's mouth would make you jealous, Prescott.
00:04:00They'd rust this guy, huh?
00:04:02Be a good girl, Ivory.
00:04:04Take the jacket off and give it to me.
00:04:06You know, Prescott, only sad jerks like you need to beg girls to take their clothes off for you.
00:04:15What do we have here?
00:04:16Take it back, Prescott.
00:04:17You want your dead daddy's photo back?
00:04:18Then give me the jacket, now.
00:04:21You shouldn't have run in your mouth then.
00:04:27No!
00:04:31I'll give you a chance to kiss me and make this better.
00:04:34And make it good.
00:04:35You know I like it when you use your tongue, school slut.
00:04:38School slut!
00:04:39School slut!
00:04:40School slut!
00:04:41School slut!
00:04:43School slut!
00:04:44School slut!
00:04:44School slut!
00:04:45School slut!
00:04:47Oh!
00:04:49Back away!
00:04:50You're not asking twice.
00:04:56She's my student?
00:05:01It can't be.
00:05:02He's my new professor?
00:05:05He's my new professor?
00:05:15He's my new professor?
00:05:19First lesson in my class.
00:05:21Do not put your hands on a fellow student.
00:05:24Or what?
00:05:25You're gonna report me to the dean?
00:05:27That's my mom, dumbass.
00:05:29Oh!
00:05:31Oh!
00:05:31Well, I'll report you to her.
00:05:32After I tell the police you were assaulting a fellow classmate.
00:05:35You think you'll look cute and cuss.
00:05:40That's what I thought.
00:05:42Find your seat, Mr. Riven.
00:05:54Shhh.
00:06:12Shhh.
00:06:13The rest of you can turn to chapter two in your textbooks.
00:06:21Do we have a problem?
00:06:24Miss...
00:06:25Westbrook?
00:06:26Ivory Westbrook?
00:06:28I'll have my book by Friday.
00:06:29Once I make enough money.
00:06:34Do you know the difference between musicians playing in Carnegie Hall and those begging on the street?
00:06:40He saved my life earlier.
00:06:42And now he's chewing me out like this?
00:06:44I should be furious, but...
00:06:46Why does my heart punch so hard when he's close?
00:06:49Discipline.
00:06:52Find your discipline.
00:06:54Or I won't waste my time with you.
00:06:56Understood.
00:07:01Don't worry.
00:07:02I'll drill it after school.
00:07:04I'll drill it real hard.
00:07:07One more word.
00:07:08And you're flunking this class.
00:07:10Bye-bye, Bahamas.
00:07:12Say hello to summer school.
00:07:15Your first step, Miss Westbrook.
00:07:16My office.
00:07:17Now.
00:07:18You didn't have to do that.
00:07:20I told you I would get the books.
00:07:21You didn't have to call me out like that in front of the whole class.
00:07:23I don't know if you noticed, but I just stopped them from taunting you.
00:07:26Thanks, Professor, but I don't want your pity.
00:07:28You should just take this back.
00:07:30Not after all your classmates have already seen you in it.
00:07:34Keep it.
00:07:35Now tell me.
00:07:37Why do your brother and classmates seem to take so much pleasure in making you suffer?
00:07:41I'm okay, Professor, but...
00:07:45Did your brother do this or was that prick Prescott?
00:07:48Just because you played hero doesn't mean you know shit about my life.
00:07:52Okay, I've been taking care of myself way before you showed up this morning.
00:07:55You think so really, Professor?
00:07:57I'm fine.
00:08:00That's it.
00:08:01Lift your shirt.
00:08:05What the hell?
00:08:07I'm my Professor.
00:08:08And I'm required to report any suspected child abuse to Protective Services.
00:08:12I am 19.
00:08:13I'm not a child.
00:08:14What I've witnessed this morning, you're gonna have to prove to me that you don't have any other bruises or
00:08:18I'm gonna be forced to make a call.
00:08:22I'll be forced to scream if you come any closer, Professor.
00:08:38That's enough.
00:08:40I won't touch you, Miss Westbrook.
00:08:43He could have taken advantage of me, but he didn't.
00:08:46There's no hunger in his eyes.
00:08:48Just worry.
00:08:49Maybe he's not like the others.
00:08:51No.
00:08:52Why don't you show me what you've got, Miss Westbrook?
00:08:57My dream.
00:08:59My dad's dream.
00:09:00All comes down to this.
00:09:02Deep breath.
00:09:04God.
00:09:05Why won't my fingers move?
00:09:09I can help you, Miss Westbrook.
00:09:12You only have to trust me.
00:09:16I trust you, Professor.
00:09:17Good.
00:09:20Now look ahead.
00:09:25I want you to forget everything.
00:09:32Now, play for me, Miss Westbrook.
00:09:36His voice.
00:09:36His commands.
00:09:39Why is this warmth rushing through my veins?
00:09:48Her playing isn't perfect, but it's raw, wild, powerful.
00:09:57I've never heard anything like it.
00:10:00That's enough.
00:10:04God, did I screw up that bad?
00:10:07Now you may have noticed that I have some unconventional methods.
00:10:10Which means I need a student who is 100% committed to following my rules.
00:10:14Can you handle that?
00:10:15I know it's crazy, but I trust him.
00:10:18I've never played like that.
00:10:20He can help me become a better musician.
00:10:22I can.
00:10:23Professor.
00:10:24I'm committed.
00:10:25In that case, there's only one thing left to do.
00:10:27Did you hear that?
00:10:28Probably 30 seconds and he already cut her off?
00:10:31She should have played trumpet if all she can do is blow.
00:10:38You're all dismissed.
00:10:40Go find another instructor.
00:10:44What the fuck just happened?
00:10:50Something's off between Ivory and that new professor.
00:10:54Considering we'll be in this very room for four hours every day.
00:10:57Have some ground rules to lay.
00:11:03First rule.
00:11:05No lies.
00:11:06So tell me.
00:11:07Where were you gonna get the money for your textbooks?
00:11:10It's none of your business.
00:11:12Second.
00:11:13Do not question my methods.
00:11:17Third.
00:11:18Never look away.
00:11:20Eyes on me.
00:11:22Always.
00:11:24Not once if you understand.
00:11:28Good girl.
00:11:30Why are you doing all this?
00:11:32I pulled your fire, Miss Westbrook.
00:11:354.0 GPA.
00:11:36The only scholarship student.
00:11:38My school was the same.
00:11:40But thanks to his mentor.
00:11:41The scholarship kid.
00:11:43Got the Leopold fellowship and wound up playing in the Lincoln Center.
00:11:46You know what he's doing today.
00:11:47What?
00:11:49He's talking to you.
00:11:50I'll give you my address and door pin.
00:11:53If you don't have anywhere else to go.
00:11:55You come to me.
00:11:57Look at me.
00:11:59I'm on your side, Miss Westbrook.
00:12:01Professor Marceau?
00:12:04Oh.
00:12:09Oh, I didn't know you were with the student, Professor Marceau.
00:12:12Just routine audition, Dean River.
00:12:14You're dismissed, Miss Westbrook.
00:12:27Now play for me, Miss Westbrook.
00:12:31Stop it.
00:12:32He's your professor.
00:12:33Quit fantasizing about him and walk away.
00:12:39I'll cut to the chase, Emmerich.
00:12:41I don't care who you mentor.
00:12:43But you're giving my son, Prescott, the Leopold fellowship.
00:12:47You're gonna report me to the dean?
00:12:48That's my mom, dumbass.
00:12:50What?
00:12:51Is this why you hired me?
00:12:53It's not that hard.
00:12:55Every year, the judges pick whoever the head piano instructor picks.
00:12:59The only other candidate is Ivory Westbrook.
00:13:03And she has a reputation of being very close with the boys here.
00:13:09That got your attention.
00:13:11Don't tell me you're giving Miss Westbrook special attention.
00:13:15She's my student.
00:13:16Exactly.
00:13:17So tell Ivory to back off, or I'll ruin her.
00:13:21And she'll have no future left.
00:13:23Don't forget, I gave you a fresh start here, Emmerich.
00:13:37Oh, Professor.
00:13:39So, about Leopold.
00:13:40Miss Westbrook.
00:13:42Maybe the fellowship isn't the best option for you.
00:13:44Wait.
00:13:46You just promised to help me.
00:13:48And now you're already going back on your word?
00:13:51You're hiding something from me, aren't you?
00:13:54Wait.
00:13:55She knows about my deal with the dean.
00:13:58Admit it.
00:13:59You never thought I was good enough for Leopold.
00:14:01I'm just saying there are plenty of other opportunities for you to consider.
00:14:04Why should I?
00:14:06Why should I give up?
00:14:07To stay safe from people like Beverly and Prescott Riverd.
00:14:10Tell Ivory to back off, or I'll ruin her.
00:14:13So you'll use your experimental methods on me.
00:14:16But when you crush my dreams, you won't even say why.
00:14:26You want to know why?
00:14:28Because of childish behavior like this.
00:14:30You're not ready.
00:14:32End of discussion.
00:14:42I'm not in the mood, Prescott.
00:14:44I've been patient enough, Ivory.
00:14:45You can't keep a customer waiting forever.
00:14:54I thought I heard her voice.
00:14:55Where did she go?
00:15:04Oh my...
00:15:06Fucking touch me, Prescott.
00:15:07You know I don't need to touch you to make you my bitch.
00:15:14500.
00:15:15Did you lose the shirt?
00:15:17Oh, come on Ivory.
00:15:18I know your price.
00:15:20You want money for rent?
00:15:21Books?
00:15:22Then strip.
00:15:25I guess I'll just sell you to the strip club myself.
00:15:28I need that money, or this is what the rest of my life will look like.
00:15:32Strip!
00:15:34Strip!
00:15:35Strip!
00:15:35Strip!
00:15:36Strip!
00:15:38Strip!
00:15:40Strip!
00:15:41Strip!
00:15:42Strip!
00:15:44Strip!
00:15:45Strip!
00:15:45Strip!
00:15:46Underwear.
00:15:49Oh my God!
00:15:53I'm on your side.
00:15:54It's Whistler.
00:15:55He's just my professor.
00:15:57He's just my professor.
00:15:57But why am I praying that he'll come for me?
00:16:01Stop being such a prude school slut.
00:16:03Yeah, come on Ivory.
00:16:05Those rags are basically school property, okay?
00:16:09Stop testing my patience Ivory.
00:16:11I'm not paying until I get my dick wet.
00:16:15He's a professor, isn't he?
00:16:17I saw the way you look at him.
00:16:18You're just begging him to shove that baton all the way up here.
00:16:20Maybe.
00:16:21I'm just done being your personal rag doll.
00:16:26Acting out in class, huh?
00:16:28You're practically begging for us.
00:16:30No.
00:16:31Let me go.
00:16:32Stop!
00:16:33Help!
00:16:34Aw.
00:16:34That's where the brass players emptied their spit.
00:16:37This car.
00:16:39Oh, she'll be fine.
00:16:40We all know she's so great at swallowing.
00:16:44Chop!
00:16:45Chop!
00:16:46Chop!
00:16:46Chop!
00:16:47Chop!
00:16:48Chop!
00:16:49Chop!
00:16:50Chop!
00:16:50Chop!
00:16:52Oh!
00:16:54All right.
00:16:59Take your hands off her!
00:17:04It seems like some of us still need a reminder of classroom etiquette.
00:17:10Mr. River, if we keep meeting like this, I'll break your fingers until the only piano in your life will
00:17:16be how women describe you.
00:17:17Sorry, dick.
00:17:19If I see one video of Ms. Westbrook online, I'll come after both of you.
00:17:24Come with me, Ms. Westbrook.
00:17:26Our lesson isn't over yet.
00:17:36Here's the textbook you need.
00:17:37You need something.
00:17:39Don't go to Prescott anymore.
00:17:41No charity case, Professor.
00:17:42This isn't out of the goodness of my heart.
00:17:45This is an investment.
00:17:46In you and your talent.
00:17:55After what just happened, you just want me to play?
00:17:59Rule number two.
00:18:00Don't question my methods.
00:18:07My fingers are shaking.
00:18:10My heart is racing.
00:18:12All because of him.
00:18:14Your pulse is racing.
00:18:16Good.
00:18:17You need to learn to play under pressure.
00:18:21To take control.
00:18:25You can do it.
00:18:34Teach me.
00:18:35Professor.
00:18:40Please.
00:18:43This isn't appropriate, Ms. Westbrook.
00:18:46You're my professor.
00:18:48If I don't understand the instructions, you're supposed to show me.
00:18:58I need you to show me.
00:19:05Right hand on the keys.
00:19:08Now play.
00:19:18Follow my lead, Ms. Westbrook.
00:19:27Ed.
00:19:29Feel.
00:19:30The rhythm pounding alongside your heartbeat.
00:19:35He gives me a power over my music that I've never felt before.
00:19:41And I want more.
00:19:46Why'd you stop?
00:19:50Answer me, Ms. Westbrook.
00:19:52Is this really how you teach all your students?
00:19:55Because it doesn't just feel like a mentorship to me.
00:19:59It feels like he wants me.
00:20:01Just like I want him.
00:20:04It started as training, but why does being close to her make me feel so much more?
00:20:10No.
00:20:10Back away, Emory.
00:20:11Before it's too late.
00:20:13It is my job to bring out the best performance in my students.
00:20:17And you're not even in control.
00:20:18Yes, I can.
00:20:20Really.
00:20:21Stand up.
00:20:29Turn around.
00:20:32Hands on the keys.
00:20:34But...
00:20:35But...
00:20:35Professor...
00:20:35Rule number two.
00:20:36Do not question my methods.
00:20:41Break another rule and I'll have to punish you.
00:20:44Help me a good girl.
00:20:48And...
00:20:51Now play.
00:20:55If I can see you trembling, then you're not in control.
00:21:02I'm trembling for my professor and...
00:21:05He's not even touching me.
00:21:07It's torturous.
00:21:19If you stop playing, I'll make you start over.
00:21:21That's my spoon.
00:21:25There you go.
00:21:29His guidance.
00:21:31His presence.
00:21:33It's consuming me.
00:21:35I've never felt this way and...
00:21:38I don't want it to stop.
00:21:53What am I thinking?
00:21:55She's 19.
00:21:56She's young and vulnerable.
00:21:58I'm sorry.
00:21:59No, that's my mistake.
00:22:01Pack your things and go home.
00:22:02You don't expect me to believe all of this...
00:22:04Is just a part of your pedagogy.
00:22:06Just some training?
00:22:07Well, what did you think this was, Miss Westbrook?
00:22:10I'm an idiot.
00:22:11Did I really think there'd be something here?
00:22:13I'll always be a kid.
00:22:15Another student.
00:22:16How could he see me as more?
00:22:19You want to know what I think, Professor?
00:22:21I think you should stop being a coward and admit that you don't think I'm good enough.
00:22:25Not for you.
00:22:26And not for the Leopold Fellowship.
00:22:30You are good enough, Miss Westbrook.
00:22:33Why don't you...
00:22:33What I want?
00:22:36Just tell me the truth.
00:22:38What you're giving my son Prescott the Leopold Fellowship.
00:22:41Fuck it all.
00:22:42I'll burn my future for me and she'll get a shot at hers.
00:22:52Is this real?
00:22:54I...
00:22:54I want him.
00:22:56I want her.
00:22:57I do.
00:22:58So convince Ivory to back off.
00:23:00Or I'll ruin her.
00:23:02And she'll have no future left.
00:23:04Think about that.
00:23:06There's nothing more for me to say here.
00:23:10Whatever this is, I'm done.
00:23:15And I don't need your charity textbook, Professor.
00:23:18And guess what?
00:23:19I don't need you.
00:23:20So I will practice on my own piano until my fingers bleed, if that's what it takes.
00:23:25Because even if you don't believe in me, I do.
00:23:30I have to push her away.
00:23:32I feel too much for her.
00:23:34But I'll only break her.
00:23:44Ivory!
00:23:45You're home!
00:23:46Look, guys, guys, guys!
00:23:48I told you my little sister would come back with the money.
00:23:50Shane, you haven't paid the loan sharks back yet?
00:23:53Your brother's been scurrying me over for months.
00:23:55Wows me 50 big ones.
00:23:56So now, I'm taking everything to your name.
00:23:59Grab the piano.
00:24:00No, no, no.
00:24:01Please, take anything else.
00:24:02My father gave me that.
00:24:04It's all I have left.
00:24:06Without the piano, I have no future left.
00:24:08I'll die here.
00:24:10Alone.
00:24:11If you love us so much, little missy, then pay up.
00:24:13Or I'll have my men smash at the pieces.
00:24:15No, I don't have any money.
00:24:17One.
00:24:17Please.
00:24:18Too bad.
00:24:18No.
00:24:22No.
00:24:23No.
00:24:33Stop, please.
00:24:35Please, I'm begging you.
00:24:37Stop.
00:24:41You got 48 hours to pay up.
00:24:43Or I'll fuck you up so bad, you won't need a house no more.
00:24:46Because you'll be sleeping in a fucking graveyard.
00:24:53I don't care who you have to screw, sis.
00:24:56Get the money.
00:24:57Or I'm going to pawn you off the gym.
00:25:00I think he'll like how you taste.
00:25:02You're a disgusting monster.
00:25:05Yeah.
00:25:06Maybe.
00:25:07But I'm older.
00:25:08And I will always win.
00:25:11She'll remember that.
00:25:18I scraped and clawed through every obstacle for years.
00:25:21Was it really all for nothing?
00:25:29If you don't have anywhere else to go,
00:25:32you come to me.
00:25:35You use this code,
00:25:36and you let yourself in.
00:25:38I'm on your side,
00:25:40Ms. Westbrook.
00:25:41I'd rather do anything than go to the professor I almost kissed,
00:25:44and then cursed out.
00:25:46I don't need you.
00:25:48But right now,
00:25:49he might be the only one who can help me.
00:25:59You're quiet tonight, professor.
00:26:06What's wrong, professor?
00:26:07I'm not your fucking professor.
00:26:09Whatever, Emmer.
00:26:11Oh, what's wrong with me?
00:26:13I called Depier to fuck out my feelings,
00:26:14but all I can think about is Ivory, my student.
00:26:19I've got to make it stop.
00:26:23I don't even know what I'm doing here.
00:26:25Men have only let me down over and over.
00:26:27Why would Professor Marceau be different?
00:26:31And why do I so badly want him to be different?
00:26:42You're an idiot, Ivory.
00:26:44What?
00:26:45You came here thinking your professor could be the answer?
00:26:47That you're special to him?
00:26:49Well, you're not.
00:26:51Ivory.
00:26:54What did you just call me?
00:26:57Did my professor just call out my name,
00:26:59while with another woman?
00:27:03Ivory.
00:27:09Emmer.
00:27:10Emmer.
00:27:10Don't tell me this is the girl you're fantasizing about.
00:27:15My mistake.
00:27:16She's barely even a woman.
00:27:18What? Did you get lost trying to find mommy and daddy?
00:27:21Emmer's no babysitter.
00:27:22I'm not a child.
00:27:24I'm here to see my professor.
00:27:25So you snuck into his house like it's some perverted fly on the wall?
00:27:30Get out now, or else I'll tell your whole school about your little school girl fantasy.
00:27:36You're not kicking anyone out of my house.
00:27:39Miss Westbrook is my teaching assistant,
00:27:41and I asked her here to bring me some urgent documents.
00:27:44Emmer, she's clearly-
00:27:46I'm not done.
00:27:48Before you start spreading rumors about my student,
00:27:50don't forget, I won't hesitate to destroy you.
00:27:58Now I'm done.
00:27:59Get the fuck out.
00:28:07I said I was done with her, Miss Westbrook.
00:28:09Not you.
00:28:15It's past midnight.
00:28:16Tell me what you're doing here.
00:28:18Are you serious?
00:28:19You're the one who told me to come.
00:28:23You come to me.
00:28:24So when a bunch of gangsters trashed my house and destroyed my piano,
00:28:29I once again stupidly thought that you'd protect me.
00:28:33But I guess you'll give your code to any woman who might suck you.
00:28:37Guess what, sir?
00:28:38Not me.
00:28:40I'm afraid.
00:28:42Hey.
00:28:46I do want to protect you.
00:28:48You can't-
00:28:49You can't say stuff like that.
00:28:51Turn around to fuck other women.
00:28:53After what I just saw, just tell me there's nothing here.
00:28:56And leave me alone.
00:28:57If you saw me, and if you heard me, then tell me.
00:29:09Did it sound like nothing to you, Miss Westbrook?
00:29:12No.
00:29:13I didn't.
00:29:14That's better.
00:29:15Now.
00:29:16You just yelled at me in my own home.
00:29:23His touch...
00:29:25It's driving me crazy.
00:29:27I know that some teachers can tolerate disrespect, but I do not.
00:29:31Not without proper punishment.
00:29:33What are you gonna do to me, Professor?
00:29:36Oh, I...
00:29:37The things I wanna do to you would give you nightmares, Miss Westbrook.
00:29:43Nightmares.
00:29:45Dreams.
00:29:46I am ready.
00:29:47Professor.
00:30:01Are you sure about this, Ivory?
00:30:04I can't have my feelings anymore.
00:30:07And I can tell you want me the way I want you.
00:30:09You're crossing this line.
00:30:10The scandal.
00:30:12It puts your whole future at risk.
00:30:14It's not just me at stake here.
00:30:16It's...
00:30:17Yours is mine, and...
00:30:18Mine is yours.
00:30:21So...
00:30:22I think it's time for our next lesson.
00:30:25Then I better whip you into shape, Miss Westbrook.
00:30:37You've mastered the textbook to a tee, Miss Westbrook.
00:30:45The music isn't just about strict and rigid technique.
00:30:53You have to learn to let yourself go.
00:30:58I'll go wherever you want, Professor.
00:31:02Good.
00:31:15What stimulates you...
00:31:18what stimulates you...
00:31:20what excites you...
00:31:23what sparks your deepest desire.
00:31:26Is that?
00:31:29Pins on the keys now, Miss Westbrook.
00:31:41My music and my body are reacting to every bit of his touch.
00:31:46I've succumbed to him and yet I feel free.
00:32:00The world of time, Miss Westbrook, I think you need to find your release.
00:32:07I give it to me.
00:32:08I'm the only one you can.
00:32:10Oh, Miss Westbrook, we're not at school anymore and I'm not stuck to let you scream at me.
00:32:17Please, I need you.
00:32:20Professor.
00:32:21That's better.
00:32:26Why did you suck at him on the door?
00:32:46That was incredible.
00:32:49I've never played like that before.
00:32:54That wasn't me, Miss Westbrook.
00:32:56That was you.
00:33:02All you.
00:33:08Shit.
00:33:20I have to take this.
00:33:21The guest room's upstairs.
00:33:23I can go on the right.
00:33:25You want me to stay here?
00:33:27Well, I'm not letting you go back to your junkie brother at this hour.
00:33:31If you have a need of piano to practice in the future, use this one.
00:33:35You do all this for me?
00:33:37You're my stupid, Miss Westbrook.
00:33:39You're my responsibility.
00:33:41I'm helping you.
00:33:42Help?
00:33:43Help?
00:33:43He just pities me.
00:33:45He must have another woman.
00:33:46Why else would he be so eager to ditch me after what we just did?
00:33:50Stop daydreaming, Ivory.
00:33:52It doesn't matter how he makes you feel.
00:33:54You're just the student.
00:33:55A responsibility.
00:33:56Nothing more.
00:33:59You better have a hell of a good reason to call after midnight, Dean Riven.
00:34:02My son came home tonight with stitches in his forehead.
00:34:05He said it was because of you and Miss Westbrook.
00:34:11Tell me, Emmerich, are you still giving that girl special attention?
00:34:17Oh, come on.
00:34:19Her town is eons ahead of that group of circle jerks you call her classmates and you know it.
00:34:22Grow up, Emmerich.
00:34:23She's 19.
00:34:25And you're old enough to know that mere talent doesn't make the world go around.
00:34:29And what a greedy, manipulative witch does.
00:34:32Watch how you speak to me, Emmerich.
00:34:34I am your boss.
00:34:36And remember, I've still got dirt on you.
00:34:39The big audition is in two days.
00:34:41If I see Miss Westbrook there, I'll ruin her so bad.
00:34:44She won't even get a job playing lullabies to preschoolers.
00:34:48Understood.
00:34:51Glad we're on the same page.
00:35:02Ooh!
00:35:03Ooh!
00:35:10What the hell, Prescott?
00:35:11Just making sure you know what you owe me after your little fit.
00:35:14Extra large?
00:35:15The only thing that can fit in here is your ego.
00:35:19Better work on your pillow talk if you want your reward, Ivory.
00:35:22You know, in fact, I'm kind of in the mood for sharing today.
00:35:25I feel bad for keeping a school slatt older myself.
00:35:28So today, you're going to strip for all of us.
00:35:31Right here, right now.
00:35:38I don't want your dirty money.
00:35:40Oh, look who finally grew a backbone.
00:35:42You think the professor can protect you, but one word for me, and you'll be in the streets
00:35:45just like him.
00:35:46This mess is between me and Prescott.
00:35:49I can't drag Professor Marceau into it.
00:36:01It's a little hot, hot, hot, hot.
00:36:04We're not going to tip you until you give us a show worth paying for.
00:36:06Isn't that how it works with that professor of yours?
00:36:08I bet a suck-up like hers got a nice and cozy with Professor Perf's dick.
00:36:13Show us what we're all missing out on, teacher's pet.
00:36:15Looks like she needs some motivation, folks.
00:36:17Yeah, yeah.
00:36:19What?
00:36:20Tips for tips.
00:36:22I can't let him ring me.
00:36:24Professor, this ends with me.
00:36:27Too easy to buy Ivory.
00:36:28I can wipe my ass with a $50 bill and you just grab it with your teeth.
00:36:35Now, be a good little bitch and remember who's in charge here.
00:36:38Because if you piss me off, my mom will make sure you and Professor Perf never get a private
00:36:42lesson again.
00:36:56Grab the money with your teeth, teacher's pets.
00:37:14I can't lose Professor Marceau.
00:37:25What is going on here?
00:37:31Oh, look who it is, guys.
00:37:33Professor Perf is here to play hero again.
00:37:37Oh!
00:37:42Get out of my sight.
00:37:44Or I'll finish the job and break your hand so you never lay a finger on another woman again.
00:37:47The rest of you, get out.
00:37:49Unless you want to be expelled.
00:38:01Not you, Miss Westbrook.
00:38:06Don't move.
00:38:10Do you have a humiliation king or the memory of a goldfish?
00:38:13Why do you keep demeaning yourself for that piece of shit?
00:38:16I was trying to protect you.
00:38:19What is it?
00:38:21Your rent?
00:38:22Your dream?
00:38:23Hmm?
00:38:24How about I donate to the cost?
00:38:25How much is it?
00:38:27A hundred?
00:38:28Five hundred?
00:38:29You know what?
00:38:30Why don't you just take a whole goddamn thing?
00:38:32You think I'm that selfish?
00:38:34Prescott was the retina in your job.
00:38:37I did it for you, you asshole.
00:38:38What?
00:38:40Let me go.
00:38:41No, not unless you promise to never let that fucker touch you again.
00:38:44Especially for my sake.
00:38:45Promise.
00:38:45I've heard.
00:38:47Now.
00:38:49Are you jealous?
00:38:55Am I jealous?
00:38:57Are you serious?
00:39:00Of course I'm jealous.
00:39:03I should be the one protecting you.
00:39:05I shouldn't have to protect you from myself.
00:39:07I hate that.
00:39:08I hate that Prescott gets to touch you and kiss you in front of everyone and all he gets
00:39:13is a slap on the wrist.
00:39:14But me, if I kiss you, my whole life's burned to the ground.
00:39:20And I'm dying to.
00:39:23I am really, really dying to.
00:39:32Earn it all now.
00:39:37Kiss me.
00:39:53No matter how hard I try to stay away, you keep pulling me back.
00:39:58You're magnetic, you're magnetic, Miss Westbrook.
00:40:01I won't let go.
00:40:03I promise I won't let anyone else touch me again.
00:40:06Good girl.
00:40:08And I promise I won't try to give you money again.
00:40:11But you are not.
00:40:12Going back to that abusive house anymore.
00:40:16Well, then where do you suggest I go?
00:40:19You'll live with me.
00:40:22What?
00:40:23You want to live together?
00:40:25You already borrowed my piano.
00:40:27I'm sure you're going to practice well into the night.
00:40:29Is that all?
00:40:31I will also be able to keep an eye on your instruction.
00:40:35Make sure that you're doing it at all times.
00:40:37Or I'll discipline you if not.
00:40:41Well, since we're here, I think we should start our next lesson.
00:40:46The last thing in the seat is Westbrook.
00:41:01It's time for a demonstration, Miss Westbrook.
00:41:07It's time for a demonstration, Miss Westbrook.
00:41:10I'm going to play.
00:41:12And you're going to appeal me both to the music.
00:41:18I'm sitting in my professor's lap, and he's rock hard.
00:41:22And I want you to feel every inch of me.
00:41:26Somehow, this feels even more intimate than him touching me last night.
00:41:39Emrick, are you in there?
00:41:52You're here late.
00:41:54Got caught up mentoring your favorite student?
00:41:56How is Miss Westbrook these days?
00:41:58Working hard, I hope.
00:42:00Is that all?
00:42:02I have many students, Dean.
00:42:04I don't have time to keep diary entries of each one.
00:42:07Fine.
00:42:07Play coy.
00:42:09But remember who you work for, Emrick.
00:42:11You may feel like a star now,
00:42:13but I'll always be the one running the show.
00:42:21Now, the coast is clear.
00:42:23You were so convincing, you will have spoiled you.
00:42:27Maybe his feelings for me is just not as strong as mine for him.
00:42:30Is that why he can lie so easily?
00:42:32Are you kidding?
00:42:33I was this close to cracking, to wrecking both of us.
00:42:39You have no idea the power you have over me, Miss Westbrook.
00:42:42I can say the same for you.
00:42:44And it looks like protecting our secret requires some training.
00:42:50If you want to do this at school without getting caught,
00:42:53you're going to need to learn how to play pretend and keep a low profile.
00:42:56Because my instincts tell me that we will be able to keep our hands off of each other.
00:43:02And my instincts are always right.
00:43:06So I need you to not make a sale.
00:43:10No matter what I do.
00:43:12Can you handle that?
00:43:38No matter what I do.
00:44:01You're not dismissed until I finish you off, Miss Westbrook.
00:44:13Someone's coming.
00:44:15Then prove to me you won't make a peep.
00:44:17No matter how much you want to scream.
00:44:19He's pleasuring me at school, Wold.
00:44:21But I can't resist it.
00:44:23I've never been touched this gently before.
00:44:25Especially not by my professor.
00:44:28Oh, I can't miss security.
00:44:29Don't worry about that, Miss Westbrook.
00:44:31You just stay cool.
00:44:35Oh.
00:44:41Oh.
00:44:45Oh.
00:44:47Oh.
00:44:48Oh.
00:44:48Oh.
00:44:49Oh.
00:44:51Oh.
00:44:51Oh.
00:44:53Oh.
00:44:53Oh.
00:44:54Oh.
00:44:55Oh.
00:44:55Oh.
00:44:56Oh.
00:44:56Oh.
00:45:02Oh.
00:45:05Oh.
00:45:06Oh.
00:45:07Oh.
00:45:09Oh.
00:45:11Oh.
00:45:12Oh.
00:45:13Oh.
00:45:13Oh.
00:45:13Oh.
00:45:14Oh.
00:45:16Oh.
00:45:17Oh.
00:45:21Oh.
00:45:27I can't believe how huge my professor's mansion is.
00:45:30My old place could have fit just inside this bathroom.
00:45:43Who knows how many times he's bathed in this tub.
00:46:14You've proven your expertise on the piano in this, Westbrook.
00:46:18Now let's review what you brought.
00:46:23As you wish, professor.
00:46:52You can't give me a higher head in this, Westbrook.
00:46:55Professor.
00:46:57Don't stop, Miss Westbrook.
00:47:02Show me exactly how much you want me.
00:47:06Show me exactly how much you want me.
00:47:12I can still feel the heat of his breath on my skin from only hours ago, but it's not enough.
00:47:28I knew he was good, but this is something else.
00:47:36Comfort level two, Miss Westbrook.
00:47:45Don't look away.
00:47:47You were thinking of me, weren't you?
00:47:52How did you know that?
00:47:54The way you're looking at me.
00:47:56You might as well tell the whole school you want your professor to tear your clothes off.
00:48:09No, I don't want to dance well.
00:48:12I don't teach.
00:48:14It's what I do.
00:48:30Level two will not give him, come on.
00:48:34Control those pretty eyes of yours.
00:48:35No bedroom eyes.
00:48:38No blushing.
00:48:41No biting your lip.
00:48:50And control your body.
00:48:53When I look over your shoulder to look at sheet music, or if I touch you, to adjust your posture.
00:49:00I won't react any different than if I was any other teacher.
00:49:05That's impossible.
00:49:06My body's tuned to you.
00:49:08It doesn't matter how much I knew I shouldn't want you.
00:49:12I might as well get trapped in the desert in your water.
00:49:16That's the problem with thirst, Miss Westbrook.
00:49:20The longer you endure it, the more the cravings distract you.
00:49:23So that's level three.
00:49:26Stop wanting me.
00:49:31It's not happening.
00:49:32Well, Professor, would you care to demonstrate?
00:49:49In that dream of yours, Miss Westbrook, was I fucking you right on top of this piano?
00:49:54Yes.
00:49:55Good.
00:49:57You're finally learning to tell the truth.
00:50:00And obedience will be rewarded.
00:50:05No panties.
00:50:08No panties.
00:50:19At this rate, there won't be enough space in your student evaluation for my praises.
00:50:24Then I better start bringing some classroom roast.
00:50:27Equal as far.
00:50:28No.
00:50:47I'm going to recommend you for the Leopold Fellowship, Ivory.
00:50:50With the head instructor's recommendations, I hope it will be yours.
00:50:54Really?
00:50:56Oh my god.
00:51:00Wait.
00:51:02It's not because...
00:51:03Is he only saying this now because we had sex?
00:51:07It's not because...
00:51:09No.
00:51:10No other student has your talent or grit.
00:51:15No one deserves to play a role more than you.
00:51:20I've known this since the first time I heard you play.
00:51:24For everything.
00:51:38What?
00:51:41What you're giving my son, Prescott, the Leopold Fellowship.
00:51:45Whatever comes next, I'll protect her.
00:51:49Even if I have to raise all hell to do it.
00:51:56Today we'll be discussing different composers' approaches to fingering.
00:51:59Will there be a demonstration with a lecture, professor?
00:52:02Clever.
00:52:06Think of Beethoven.
00:52:07His fingering was smooth.
00:52:09Legato.
00:52:10Full of pleasure.
00:52:15Thanks.
00:52:17I'm looking at my professor in class, but all I can think of are his hands on my body.
00:52:23Mozart.
00:52:24Preferred strong finger.
00:52:25Natural anatomy.
00:52:30Huh.
00:52:57Blist used a hand-spreading technique, and Bach, of course, introduced the thumb.
00:53:10Miss Westbrook.
00:53:12Miss Westbrook.
00:53:18What's distinctive of Chopin's technique?
00:53:21Um, he disagreed with equal finger strength, and he tailored his fingering to specific students.
00:53:29Everyone out.
00:53:34Not you, Miss Westbrook.
00:53:38Looks like the pet pissed off his master.
00:53:48Rolling, I'll ask you this once.
00:53:50What were you just doing in my classroom?
00:53:53Taking notes.
00:53:55Still insist on deception.
00:53:58Fine.
00:54:00You won't tell me.
00:54:01I'll find the truth for myself.
00:54:15That's when I can taste you on your fingers, Miss Westbrook.
00:54:17Were you just touching yourself?
00:54:20Thinking of me.
00:54:24I was just putting your lecture into practice, Professor.
00:54:30Well.
00:54:34It appears your hands can't be trusted behind your back.
00:54:50This is what you wanted.
00:54:52I'm going to end class early because you turned me on so much, and I just wanted you alone.
00:54:56Well, what are you going to do now that you're happy?
00:55:04I want you, naked, sitting at my piano, rolling your hips like you're fucking the notes.
00:55:11Fucking the notes?
00:55:13Or fucking you?
00:55:17What's the difference?
00:55:26Hey.
00:55:29I want you, Miss Westbrook, that I wouldn't be able to keep my hands off you.
00:55:34And don't stop yourself, Professor.
00:55:37Professor Marceau?
00:55:44Professor Marceau, you have a visitor.
00:55:47Be right there.
00:56:01We'll finish this later.
00:56:02My office, alone.
00:56:13He forgot his phone.
00:56:15I should bring it to him.
00:56:22Wow.
00:56:24All those private lessons with Professor Marceau must be paying off because you two sure know
00:56:28how to put on a great show.
00:56:29How long have you been here?
00:56:30Oh, long enough to hear this.
00:56:36I warned you, Miss Westbrook, that I wouldn't be able to keep my hands off you.
00:56:41And don't stop yourself, Professor.
00:56:44Let's talk about what you're going to do for me before I send this video of you and Professor
00:56:47Hansy to the whole school.
00:56:48You think anyone's going to open a text from you after all the dick pics you sent the girls
00:56:52on campus?
00:56:52That doesn't sound like begging Ivory.
00:56:55You remember how well you begged when you needed my money?
00:56:59Do the world a favor and keep your wallet and your dick in your pants.
00:57:04You watch yourself.
00:57:06I'll send this video to the whole goddamn school unless you give me what I want.
00:57:10Prescott's only ever wanted one thing from me.
00:57:12But if getting him off one last time will keep Professor Marceau safe, so be it.
00:57:17Let's just get this over with.
00:57:20Uh, uh, uh.
00:57:22Uh, it's too late for your pussy to get you out of this one.
00:57:25I want the Leopold Fellowship.
00:57:27What?
00:57:31So, you're going to tell that precious Professor of yours that you're dropping out.
00:57:34And then you're both going to sign this form to officially forfeit your audition.
00:57:37He won't sign that.
00:57:38He already agreed to recommend me.
00:57:40Oh, I don't know about that, Ivory.
00:57:41Something's telling me that he'll probably change his mind.
00:57:44What are you talking about?
00:57:46You and the Professor are quite close.
00:57:48I'll be asking myself.
00:57:50But if you step one fucking foot in the auditorium tonight, I'll take you both on with one little text
00:57:55message.
00:58:02If you don't have anywhere to go, you come to me.
00:58:04No matter how hard I try to stay away, you keep pulling me back.
00:58:08You're magnetic.
00:58:09Miss Westbrook.
00:58:10I'm going to recommend you for the Leopold Fellowship, Ivory.
00:58:14With the head instructor's recommendation, the spot will be yours.
00:58:17If giving up Leopold means we can have a future together, I'm willing to lose everything.
00:58:21As long as I don't lose him.
00:58:24I need to go find him.
00:58:34What the hell are you doing here?
00:58:37Is that how you greet all your lovers?
00:58:43You sure went off the grid, didn't you?
00:58:46Did you really think you could start fresh at a new school and your past wouldn't catch up to you?
00:58:50What past?
00:58:51We had sex once.
00:58:52Now it's because you got me drunk.
00:58:54Then you framed me for coercion and ruined my career.
00:58:57All because you were obsessed because I never looked at you twice.
00:59:00Better watch your tone, Emmerich.
00:59:02I ruined your reputation once and I can easily do it again.
00:59:08I bet this school would be very interested in hearing my story.
00:59:16So that's how you got me fired.
00:59:18Who does a boss?
00:59:20A good girl is always prepared.
00:59:22Now, are you ready to follow directions, Professor?
00:59:25You are actually insane.
00:59:29You should be committed.
00:59:30I am committed, Emmerich.
00:59:32To you.
00:59:35So why don't you come over here and give me a kiss?
00:59:37Hello.
00:59:40Or are you ready to abandon your darling students?
00:59:43I remember how all the girls used to watch your every move with their doe eyes.
00:59:49I wondered if I'd whisper a cure as any different.
00:59:55According to her file, you two have been spending quite a bit of quality time together.
01:00:02Avery's audition is tonight.
01:00:04If I get fired, I can't help forget the fellowship.
01:00:07I have to keep my job until Avery gets her dream.
01:00:10After tonight, I can scorch it all down.
01:00:18Please, Emmerich, my dead grandmother kisses better than that.
01:00:21Give me a real kiss.
01:00:24Or...
01:00:28Better yet, get me off and I'll let you off easy today.
01:00:32You're doing this for Avery.
01:00:33Just this once.
01:00:34Hit it over with.
01:00:49Why is the dean calling Professor Marceau?
01:00:52Clock's ticking on our deal, Emmerich.
01:00:54Unless you want your time at Le Moyne to end the same way it did at your last school,
01:00:58you better tell Miss Westbrook that you're recommending Prescott for the Leaphold Fellowship.
01:01:04Now.
01:01:06Hello.
01:01:15Professor?
01:01:24So this is the shiny new plaything in the flesh.
01:01:26I thought you'd be at least a little more mature.
01:01:29Who the hell is this?
01:01:31Do you let all your students talk to you like this?
01:01:33Or do you let it slide with special cases?
01:01:35Enough, Joanne.
01:01:36Get out.
01:01:37Or I'll have campus security escort you out.
01:01:39I tell you to watch your tone, but how can I stay mad at a face like this?
01:01:46Besides, why do I need a male escort when I have him?
01:01:49I'll let you and your new pet talk.
01:01:54Something to remember me by.
01:01:55Don't worry, I have plenty more saved on my computer.
01:02:04Those photos were supposed to wrap Emmerich on my finger.
01:02:07That tiny skink is not taking it away.
01:02:13Nowhere to run now, bitch.
01:02:18This is the dirt Dean Robert has on you, isn't it?
01:02:21This is why you wanted me to give up on my dream.
01:02:26Well, Professor.
01:02:27So, about Leopold.
01:02:28Miss Westbrook.
01:02:29Maybe the Fellowship isn't the best option for you.
01:02:31I think that you should stop being a coward and admit that you don't think I'm good enough.
01:02:36Not for you.
01:02:37And not for the Leopold Fellowship.
01:02:40Why do you keep denying me what I want?
01:02:43The reason you've been holding me back from Leopold, from my dream, is so you can save your own eyes.
01:02:51You forgot your phone, by the way.
01:02:55God, I agree.
01:02:56I can explain.
01:02:57No, no, I can't believe I was ready to give up everything for you.
01:03:01For us.
01:03:09You know what the worst part is?
01:03:12I actually fell in love with you.
01:03:14But, no, I should have known you never really cared, Professor.
01:03:18Why do you don't think that I care?
01:03:20I don't give two shits about what Dean Riverd wants or my career.
01:03:24Okay, but you, you're the only one that I care about.
01:03:37No, no, you don't get to kiss and make up.
01:03:40Those lips have lied to me over and over and over.
01:03:44How can I believe anything you say now?
01:03:46I agree I was trying to...
01:03:47No, and all you've done is hurt me.
01:03:50Look, you have no idea what these people here are capable of.
01:03:53What Prescott and Dean Riverd could do to you.
01:03:55Well, at least I knew not to trust any of them.
01:03:58But you, Professor, you lured me in.
01:04:03And you caught me in your trap.
01:04:05And then you played me like a damn sonata.
01:04:07You were already trading my cards.
01:04:10You shattered my heart.
01:04:12So I am not going to stay to see what you break next.
01:04:21I don't want to be here, but I have to get my dress for the audition.
01:04:25I won't let anything ruin my chances.
01:04:27Not Emmerich, not anyone.
01:04:31I'm taking you home, baby sis.
01:04:33You're long overdue for a family reunion.
01:04:35You need to see...
01:04:45Ivory!
01:04:49Why am I back home?
01:04:51If I miss my audition, I can say goodbye to any chance of a future.
01:04:54Of fulfilling my dream for dad.
01:04:58She...
01:04:59She'll let me go.
01:05:00You've been missing curfew, sis.
01:05:02What, you didn't think I'd notice?
01:05:04You jumping ship.
01:05:05Go play princess at Prince Charming's fucking castle!
01:05:11I'm coming, Ivory.
01:05:13Be brave for me.
01:05:18Let me ask you.
01:05:19Do you think he's really going to want you?
01:05:22If you can't even play Twinkle, Twinkle Little Fucking Star?
01:05:27Stop.
01:05:28Shit.
01:05:31Oh, that's not how we treat our merchandise, Shane.
01:05:34The van will be here in five, so sit tight.
01:05:37Well, it's not like you have a choice.
01:05:39What do you mean, merchandise?
01:05:40I tried to warn you.
01:05:43If you were going to pay the loan sharks back, I was going to cut a deal and save my
01:05:47ass.
01:05:48So now you're taking a one-way trip to Wyoming.
01:05:51Oh, they have the perfect place for suts like you out there.
01:05:55You're signing me off?
01:05:57You've had so much practice whoring yourself around at school.
01:06:00I figured I'd let you go out there and do what you do best for the rest of your life.
01:06:07Don't tell me I'm too late.
01:06:11A whorehouse sounds like the perfect home for a little hussy.
01:06:14You don't even know me.
01:06:15I know that the only reason why Emmerich isn't falling in line right now is because he'd rather protect you
01:06:20than his own reputation.
01:06:21Once you're gone, he'll do whatever I want.
01:06:25Oh, but don't worry.
01:06:26He'll be able to keep his job and have a future with me.
01:06:30Like he'll do anything with you after you've ruined his life.
01:06:33So what if I got Emmerich drunk and framed him for sexual assault?
01:06:36I know how to tame my man.
01:06:41Bansu, time to say our goodbyes, sis.
01:06:46No. No. No. No. No. No.
01:06:52Please.
01:06:54You know, I'd say I'd miss you, but we both know you're more valuable to me as a cash cow
01:06:59than a sister.
01:07:00Oh, don't worry, Ivory.
01:07:02I'm sure plenty of men will want you in Wyoming.
01:07:13Let her go!
01:07:14Or the next thing I slit is your throat.
01:07:30Looks like a broken wrist wasn't enough, huh?
01:07:32I'm going to break your face.
01:07:33The way the only drugs you get again will be through a fucking tube.
01:07:49Give me one good reason why I shouldn't let the cops take you right now.
01:07:52Because I still have pictures that can ruin you in seconds.
01:08:00I'm sorry.
01:08:01I can't resist my job.
01:08:03Not until you get your drink.
01:08:07You see, she's the one who framed you and was selling me off.
01:08:10Run your mouth all you want, but you don't have any proof of what I've done.
01:08:14Or do I, Joanne?
01:08:16The Lone Sharks may have trashed the place,
01:08:17but they never found the camera that I used to record my piano sessions.
01:08:20It's the camera I record 24-7.
01:08:24So what if I got Emmerich drunk and framed him for sexual assault?
01:08:31Right on time.
01:08:36Right on time.
01:08:37What?
01:08:39Your photos mean nothing now that we have your confession.
01:08:42You should feel right at home in the office, shouldn't you?
01:08:44You think this is over?
01:08:46You know what?
01:08:46It's a matter of time for the whole world finds out about your disgusting affair.
01:08:52You'll both be ruined!
01:08:53No!
01:08:54Let me go!
01:08:55No!
01:08:58You're supposed to be my brother, my only family, and all you have done is hurt me.
01:09:04And I'm done.
01:09:05Shane Westbrook, you're under arrest for domestic violence,
01:09:08possession of illegal drugs, and attempted kidnapping and trafficking.
01:09:12What?
01:09:13Sis, come on!
01:09:14You're not going to let your big bro go to jail, are you?
01:09:16I wouldn't.
01:09:17But you're not my brother anymore.
01:09:19I know!
01:09:19As of today, we're strangers.
01:09:22Think about that when you rot in a cell, Shane.
01:09:25No!
01:09:26No, no, no!
01:09:27Sis, no!
01:09:30I mean...
01:09:31No, I don't want to talk.
01:09:32Look at me.
01:09:34I owe you an explanation for everything.
01:09:37I owe you an explanation for everything.
01:09:39It's the least you deserve.
01:09:42After Joanne got me fired from my last school,
01:09:44no one would take me except LeMoyne.
01:09:46I didn't know until after we met
01:09:50that I was only hired because Dean Rivet wanted a favor from me.
01:09:53Yeah, I recommend Prescott for the fellowship.
01:09:55Okay?
01:09:55You were trying to save yourself.
01:09:57At first, yes.
01:10:01And I met you.
01:10:03You were fearless and talented.
01:10:07God, you're so beautiful.
01:10:09You made me want to protect you.
01:10:11To fight for you.
01:10:13Dean Rivet knew that I came.
01:10:15She threatened to hurt you worse if I didn't.
01:10:20I was just trying to protect you.
01:10:22I'm so sorry, Ivy.
01:10:23Listen, I...
01:10:24I couldn't care less without my career.
01:10:28I couldn't care less without my career.
01:10:32As long as you get yours.
01:10:35You're the only one I care about in this whole world.
01:10:37Everything else comes second.
01:10:38It always will.
01:10:41As long as you'll let me.
01:10:43I'm going with it.
01:10:46I don't want it.
01:10:47I'm not good now.
01:10:48Aubrey, you were born to play.
01:10:53Don't let my mistakes get in the way of your future.
01:10:55Your dream.
01:11:00For everything, Professor.
01:11:02Professor?
01:11:03I guess after everything, that's all she'd rather see me as.
01:11:06I should respect that.
01:11:09Now, don't you have some place to be?
01:11:14Just do me.
01:11:15Won't be.
01:11:18Anything.
01:11:20That's me.
01:11:24That's me.
01:11:31Don't you have an audition to get to, Miss Westbrook?
01:11:34I look like I got hit by a truck.
01:11:36And I don't have time to clean up.
01:11:38Max.
01:11:39What's the judges who you play?
01:11:40And I give my recommendation.
01:11:42There'll be no doubt in your mind that you belong on that stage.
01:11:45We're still going to be late.
01:11:47Twenty years and I haven't missed an audition.
01:11:49I ain't starting now.
01:12:11Next up is Miss Ivory Westbrook.
01:12:20Miss Ivory Westbrook.
01:12:23Don't worry, Mom.
01:12:24That's the care of it.
01:12:25There's no way she's showing her face to me.
01:12:27And I made sure that professor of yours knows exactly who he works for.
01:12:30That spot is yours.
01:12:31And nobody's getting in your way.
01:12:34If Miss Westbrook doesn't have the decency to show up on time,
01:12:38maybe she should learn that being a musician requires a little respect.
01:12:42Yes, if Miss Westbrook is not present, we have no choice but to consider her disqualified.
01:12:51I'm here.
01:12:52I'm here.
01:12:53I'm ready.
01:12:56Ivory Westbrook from Le Moyne Conservatory.
01:12:58I'm ready to audition.
01:13:01Ivory Westbrook of Le Moyne Conservatory.
01:13:03I'm ready to audition.
01:13:04Are you kidding?
01:13:05Look at the dirt on her face.
01:13:07She clearly has no respect for the fellowship.
01:13:09Miss Westbrook is my student.
01:13:11And she's been preparing for this for months.
01:13:13She will play.
01:13:22Proceed, Miss Westbrook.
01:13:34This is everything Dad wanted for me.
01:13:37I don't know what was that.
01:13:39What are you?
01:13:40You were born to play.
01:14:02I need a student who is 100% committed to my roles.
01:14:06Teach me, Professor.
01:14:11First rule, no last.
01:14:15Second, do not question my methods.
01:14:20And third, never look away.
01:14:24Delicate, astonishing, and obsession.
01:14:28There were words.
01:14:32I'm a young man.
01:14:35After a while.
01:14:45Moderate, congratulations.
01:14:45I'm a young man.
01:14:46I'm a young man.
01:14:46You're a young man.
01:15:07Thank you, Ms. Westbrook.
01:15:08Now, we've written the name of our preferred candidate in this envelope, but that's not the final decision.
01:15:14Per tradition, we seek recommendation from the instructor, Professor Marceau.
01:15:18Who do you recommend for the Leopold Fellowship, Ivory Westbrook or Prescott-Rabert?
01:15:24Don't worry, son. He'll still pick you. I've made sure of it.
01:15:29The student I'm choosing has demonstrated talent of the highest caliber.
01:15:32They've proven that they'll do whatever it takes to be the best.
01:15:34That is why the student that I'm choosing is...
01:15:38Remember our deal.
01:15:40Ivory Westbrook.
01:15:43What?
01:15:45He's screwing her!
01:15:47Professor, Emric Marceau is sleeping with Ivory Westbrook.
01:15:55That's right.
01:15:56Emric Marceau is sleeping with Ivory Westbrook.
01:16:00His student!
01:16:02Emric Marceau is a predator.
01:16:04And Ivory Westbrook is a cheap whore sleeping her way to the top.
01:16:08A professor sleeping with his student?
01:16:10What a scandal.
01:16:11Professor Marceau, is this true?
01:16:13What exactly is the nature of your relationship with Ms. Westbrook?
01:16:17It's okay. I told you to be the only one I care about.
01:16:22It's true.
01:16:23I've crossed professional boundaries and fallen in love with Ivory Westbrook.
01:16:30But that is not a crime.
01:16:32We are two consenting adults who just happen to meet in the wrong time and the wrong place.
01:16:37And we've come to understand that our music is better together than anything that we could do alone.
01:16:43So you can fire me or blacklist me, but Ivory is innocent.
01:16:47And she deserves a fellowship more than anyone.
01:16:49He gave up his career for me.
01:16:53I don't care about the legalities of your relationship, but we can no longer accept your recommendation given this obvious
01:17:00conflict of interest.
01:17:02Give it up, Ivory.
01:17:03Turns out you wasted your blowjobs on the wrong men.
01:17:05Is this really the end of the road?
01:17:07Did Professor Marceau really put everything on the line for me?
01:17:10Only for it to all crash and burn.
01:17:14Go on.
01:17:14Tell us which student at Le Moyne gets a fellowship.
01:17:17Not so fast.
01:17:18As long as we're airing out our dirty laundry.
01:17:20I have something I think the judges need to see.
01:17:24If I'm going down, I'm burning the whole damn bridge with me.
01:17:33You're blackmailing Professor Marceau to give me the Leopold Fellowship.
01:17:36You know you deserve it way more than that Ivory girl.
01:17:39Besides, I know how to control Emmerich.
01:17:41As long as his job's at stake, he'll do whatever I say.
01:17:46They belong in jail.
01:17:48That's not us.
01:17:49You don't understand.
01:17:51I think everyone who saw understands perfectly.
01:17:54Professor Marceau and Ms. Westbrook may have told the line of unprofessionalism,
01:17:58but you two have committed a crime.
01:18:01You asshole.
01:18:04We've seen and heard enough today to make our decision.
01:18:07This year's Leopold Fellowship will go to Ivory Westbrook.
01:18:22Congratulations, Ms. Westbrook.
01:18:30I can't believe this.
01:18:32From the first moment I heard you play, I knew the fellowship would be yours.
01:18:36This is preposterous!
01:18:37You little slut!
01:18:39This is all your fault!
01:18:40You've ruined everything!
01:18:42Now you're going to pay for it!
01:18:44Fuck!
01:18:50You alright?
01:18:53Let me go!
01:18:56Adding assault on a student to a long list of charges.
01:18:59I think your boss would be very interested to know of your recent actions.
01:19:03Both of yours.
01:19:04He's right!
01:19:09I'm here to fire you, Beverly.
01:19:13I'm here to fire you, Beverly.
01:19:14And if you're lucky, the university will press charges for all the damages you've done to
01:19:19our reputation.
01:19:20This is all a misunderstanding.
01:19:22And I'm sure the police will be happy to hear all about it, which is why I've come to
01:19:27personally escort you and your son down to the station.
01:19:31Even you can't buy yourself out of this one, Prescott?
01:19:33Good luck trying to find a school that will hire you.
01:19:36Victim will win.
01:19:38Oh!
01:19:41Thank you so much for this opportunity.
01:19:43I promise I won't let you down.
01:19:46To be honest, we chose you before Professor Marceau made his recommendation based solely
01:19:51on your talent and merit.
01:19:53It's with full sincerity that I say you deserve the Leopold Fellowship, Ms. Westbrook.
01:20:08If you ever doubt yourself, just look at that envelope.
01:20:11Or I can just have my professor tell me how good I am.
01:20:14Come with me, Ms. Westbrook.
01:20:20What's wrong?
01:20:23I'm going to resign.
01:20:24What?
01:20:26I'm going to resign.
01:20:27No.
01:20:28I can't.
01:20:29If I stay by your side, people won't recognize you for your talent.
01:20:33All they'll see is our affair.
01:20:34You really care what anyone thinks?
01:20:36I don't care what they think.
01:20:37I care about you.
01:20:40And you being able to focus on your music without the noise.
01:20:42Look, I stayed as long as I did to make sure that you got the fellowship.
01:20:45Now my job is over.
01:20:47What?
01:20:47Hey, do not question my methods, Ms. Westbrook.
01:20:52Listen to me.
01:20:53I've always known what I wanted and how to get it.
01:20:56Then you came along.
01:20:57Everything I thought that mattered.
01:20:59Music, career, success.
01:21:04It's all second to you.
01:21:06So please, Ms. Westbrook, allow me to take care of you one last time.
01:21:25Oh, thank you, Dean Simmons.
01:21:26It's an honor.
01:21:27I'll let you know if I decided to enjoy the arts faculty.
01:21:30No, no, no.
01:21:31I just have a few other offers I'm going to take you.
01:21:44I'm going to take care of you one last time.
01:21:50I'm going to take care of you one last time.
01:21:52I'm going to take care of you one last time.
01:21:58Allow me to introduce myself.
01:22:01My name is Ivory Westbrook.
01:22:03I'm a piano major at Le Moyne Conservatory and a Leopold Fellow.
01:22:07I have a car and a new apartment and a nice neighborhood, all sponsored by the fellowship.
01:22:13That's very impressive, Ms. Westbrook.
01:22:16The only thing that's missing is the perfect instructor.
01:22:23So, Professor Marceau, do you teach private lessons?
01:22:27I could be willing to make an exception.
01:22:31The rats do.
01:22:33Are you sure about this happening?
01:22:35Letting you go is a one-time offer.
01:22:37It won't happen again.
01:22:39Good.
01:22:41Because losing you is the worst punishment I've ever endured.
01:22:45I love you, Ivory.
01:22:48I love you, Ivory.
01:22:58You have a lot of work to catch up on, Ms. Westbrook.
01:23:00Then we better get started, Professor.
