00:00I am your boss, and remember, I've still got dirt on you.
00:05The big audition is in two days.
00:07If I see Miss Westbrook there, I'll ruin her so bad.
00:11She won't even get a job playing lullabies to preschoolers.
00:15Understood?
00:18Glad we're on the same page.
00:39What the hell, Prescott?
00:41Just making sure you know what you owe me after your little fit.
00:44Extra large?
00:45The only thing that can fit in here is your ego.
00:50Better work on your pillow talk if you want your reward, Ivory.
00:53You know, in fact, I'm kind of in the mood for sharing today.
00:56I feel bad for keeping the school slut all over myself.
00:59So today, you're going to strip for all of us.
01:02Right here, right now.
01:10I don't want your dirty money.
01:12Oh, look who finally grew a backbone.
01:14You think the professor can protect you, but one word for me, and you'll be in the streets just like
01:18him.
01:19This mess is between me and Prescott.
01:22I can't drag Professor Marceau into it.
01:35This one's a little hot.
01:38We're not going to tip you until you give us a show worth paying for.
01:41Isn't that how it works with that professor of yours?
01:43I bet a suck-up like hers got a nice and cozy with Professor Perf's dick.
01:48Show us what we're all missing out on, teacher's pet.
01:51Looks like she needs some motivation, folks.
01:53Yeah.
01:54Yeah.
01:55What?
01:57Tips for tips.
01:59I can't let him ring me.
02:00Tips for tips.
02:01Professor, this ends with me.
02:03You're too easy to buy, Ivory.
02:05I can wipe my ass with a $50 bale of meat.
02:08Wrapped with your teeth.
02:13Now, be a good little bitch and remember who's in charge here.
02:16Because if you piss me off, my mom will make sure you and Professor Perf never get a private lesson
02:20again.
02:36Grab the money with your teeth, teacher's pets.
02:55I can't lose Professor Marceau.
03:02What?
03:09What is going on here?
03:15Oh, look who it is, guys.
03:17Professor Perf is here to play hero again.
03:21Oh!
03:27Get out of my sight.
03:28Or I'll finish the job and break your hand so you never lay a finger on another woman again.
03:32The rest of you, get out.
03:35Unless you want to be expelled.
03:48Not you, Miss Westbrook.
03:53Don't move.
03:58Do you have a humiliation king or the memory of a goldfish?
04:01Why do you keep demeaning yourself for that piece of shit?
04:04I was trying to protect you.
04:08What is it?
04:09Your rent?
04:11Your dream?
04:12Well, how about I donate to the cost?
04:14How much is it?
04:16A hundred?
04:17Five hundred?
04:18No.
04:19Why don't you just take the whole goddamn thing.
04:22You think I'm that selfish?
04:24Prescott was threatening your job.
04:27I did it for you, you asshole.
04:29What?
04:30Let me go.
04:31No, not unless you promise to never let that fucker touch you again.
04:34Especially for my sake.
04:36Promise, Ivory.
04:37Now.
04:40Are you jealous?
04:47Am I jealous?
04:49Are you serious?
04:52Of course, I'm jealous.
04:55I should be the one protecting you.
04:57I shouldn't have to protect you from myself.
05:00I hate that.
05:01I hate that Prescott gets to touch you.
05:03And kiss you.
05:04In front of everyone.
05:06And all he gets is a slap on the wrist.
05:08But me.
05:08If I kiss you.
05:11Your whole life's burned to the ground.
05:14And I'm dying to.
05:15You know, I'm really, really dying to.
05:28Earn it all now.
05:33Kiss me.
05:52No matter how hard I try to stay away, you keep pulling me back.
05:56You're magnetic, Miss Westbrook.
06:00I won't let go.
06:02I promise I won't let anyone else touch me again.
06:06Good girl.
06:07And I promise I won't try to give you money again.
06:10But you are not going back to that abusive house anymore.
06:16Then where do you suggest I go?
06:19You'll live with me.
06:22What?
06:24You want to live together?
06:26You're already borrowing my piano.
06:28I'm sure you're going to practice well into the night.
06:30Is that all?
06:32I will also be able to keep an eye on your instruction.
06:36Make sure that you're doing it at all times.
06:39Or I'll discipline you if not.
06:42Well, since we're here, I think we should start our next lesson right now soon.
06:49The last thing in the same, Miss Westbrook.
07:06It's time for a demonstration, Miss Westbrook.
07:12It's time for a demonstration, Miss Westbrook.
07:16I'm going to play.
07:18And you're going to feel me both to the music.
07:24I'm sitting in my professor's lap, and he's rock hard.
07:29And I want you to feel every inch of me.
07:33Somehow, this feels even more intimate than him touching me last night.
07:47Emmerich?
07:48Emmerich?
07:48Are you in there?
08:01you're here late got caught up mentoring your favorite student how is miss westbrook these
08:08days working hard i hope is that all i have many students dean i don't have time to keep diary
08:16entries of each one fine play coy but remember who you work for emmerich you may feel like a star
08:24now
08:24but i'll always be the one running the show
08:34coast is clear you were so convincing you when i almost believed you maybe his feelings for me is
08:41just not as strong as mine for him is that why he can lie so easily are you kidding i
08:47was this close
08:48to cracking to wrecking both of us you have no idea the power you had what would be miss westbrook
08:56i could say the same for you and it looks like protecting our secret will require some training
09:05if you want to do this at school without getting caught you're going to need to learn how to play
09:10pretend and keep a low profile because my instincts tell me that we will be able to keep our hands
09:17off
09:17of each other and my instincts are always right
09:23so i need you to not make a sound no matter what i do can you handle that
09:36so
09:43so
09:44I don't know.
10:21Oh, they're closing down the school.
10:23You're not dismissed until I finish you off, Miss Westbrook.
10:36Someone's coming.
10:39Then prove to me you won't make a peep, no matter how much you want to scream.
10:43He's pleasuring me at school, bold, but I can't resist it.
10:47I've never been touched this gently before, especially not by my professor.
10:52I can't miss security.
10:55Don't worry about that, Miss Westbrook.
10:57You'll just stay quiet.
11:04I can't pass in.
11:06I can't pass in.
11:07Oh, my God.
11:12Oh, my God.
11:34Congratulations, Miss Westbrook.
11:36You just passed up a war.
11:39What's up with you?
11:42Always the overachiever.
11:44All in due time.
11:47First, let's get you on.
11:58I can't believe how huge my professor's mansion is.
12:01My old place could have fit just inside this bathroom.
12:16Who knows how many times he's bathed in this tub.
12:19You just passed up with me.
12:38Make no mistakes.
12:40Make no mistakes.
12:43Make no mistakes.
12:45Make no mistakes.
12:50You've proven your expertise on the piano, Ms. Westbrook.
12:54Now let's review what you've learned.
12:59As you wish, Professor.
13:31You can't give me a heart at that, Ms. Westbrook.
13:35Professor.
13:38Don't stop, Ms. Westbrook.
13:43Show me exactly how much you want me.
13:46Show me exactly how much you want me.
13:54I can still feel the heat of his breath on my skin from only hours ago, but it's not enough.
14:11I knew he was good, but this is something else.
14:19Comfort level two, Ms. Westbrook.
14:30Don't look away.
14:32You were thinking of me, weren't you?
14:38How did you know that?
14:40The way you're looking at me.
14:41Might as well tell the whole school you want your professor to tear your clothes off.
14:57No, I don't, I don't dance well.
15:00I'll teach you.
15:02It's what I do.
15:19Level two of not getting caught.
15:23Control those pretty eyes of yours, no bedroom eyes, no blushing, no biting your lip.
15:41And control your body.
15:44When I look over your shoulder to look at sheet music.
15:47Or if I touch you to adjust your posture.
15:53Won't react any different than if I was any other teacher.
15:57That's, that's impossible.
15:59My body's doomed to you.
16:01It doesn't matter how much I knew I shouldn't want you.
16:05I might as well be trapped in the desert in your water.
16:10That's the problem with thirst, Ms. Westbrook.
16:14The longer you endure it, the more the cravings distract you.
16:18So that's level three.
16:21Stop wanting me.
16:26It's starting to happen.
16:28Well, professor.
16:30Would you care to demonstrate?
16:47And that dream of yours, Ms. Westbrook, was I fucking you right on top of this piano?
16:52Yes.
16:53Good.
16:55You're finally learning to tell the truth.
16:58And obedience will be rewarded.
17:05No panties.
17:20At this rate, there won't be enough space in your student evaluation for my praises.
17:25Oh, then you better start bringing some classroom roles to me.
17:28Equal this bar.
17:50I'm going to recommend you for the Leopold Fellowship, Ivory.
17:53With the head instructor's recommendation, the spot will be yours.
17:58Really?
18:00Oh my god.
18:04Wait.
18:06It's not because...
18:08It's not because...
18:09Is he only saying this now because we had sex?
18:12It's not because...
18:14No.
18:15No other student has your talent or grit.
18:20No one deserves to Leopold more than you.
18:26I've known her since the first time I heard you play.
18:31For everything.
18:49What you're giving my son, Prescott, the Leopold Fellowship.
18:54Whatever comes next, I'll protect her.
18:57Even if I have to raise all hell to do it.
19:06Today we'll be discussing different composers' approaches to fingering.
19:09Will there be a demonstration with the lecture, Professor?
19:13Clever.
19:17Think of Beethoven.
19:19His fingering was smooth.
19:21Legato.
19:21Well, with pleasure.
19:29I'm looking at my professor in class, but all I can think of are his hands on my body.
19:36Loat song.
19:37Preferred strong thing.
19:38Natural anatomy.
19:44Ah.
20:02Natural anatomy.
20:03Natural anatomy.
20:12Blitz used a hand-spreading technique.
20:14And Bach, of course, introduced the thong.
20:28Miss Westbrook.
20:36What's distinctive of Chopin's technique?
20:39Um, he disagreed with equal finger strength, and he tailored his fingering to specific students.
20:49Everyone out.
20:53Not you, Miss Westbrook.
20:58Looks like the pet piece of it's master.
21:09I'm only going to ask you this once.
21:12What were you just doing in my classroom?
21:14Taking notes.
21:17Still insist on deception.
21:20What?
21:22You won't tell me?
21:24I'll find a trip for myself.
21:38Is when I can taste you on your fingers, Miss Westbrook.
21:41Were you just touching yourself?
21:44Thinking of me.
21:48I was just putting your lecture into practice, Professor.
21:55Well.
21:59It appears your hands can't be trusted.
22:02Behind your back.
22:18Is this what you wanted?
22:20I need to end the class early because you turned me on so much, and I just wanted you alone.
22:24Well, what are you going to do now that you have me?
22:33I want you, naked, sitting at my piano, rolling your hips like you're fucking the notes.
22:41Fucking the notes?
22:43Or fucking you?
22:47What's the difference?
23:01I warned you, Miss Westbrook, that I wouldn't be able to keep my hands off of you.
23:06And don't stop yourself, Professor.
23:10Professor Marceau?
23:16Professor Marceau, you have a visitor.
23:20Be right there.
23:35We'll finish this later.
23:37My office, alone.
23:49He forgot his phone.
23:51I should bring it to him.
23:58Wow.
24:01All those private lessons with Professor Marceau must be paying off,
24:04because you two sure know how to put on a great show.
24:06How long have you been here?
24:08Oh, long enough to hear this.
24:14I want you, Miss Westbrook, that I wouldn't be able to keep my hands off of you.
24:19And don't stop yourself, Professor.
24:22Let's talk about what you're going to do for me
24:24before I send this video of you and Professor Hansy to the whole school.
24:27You think anyone's going to open a text from you
24:30after all the dick pics you've sent the girls on campus?
24:32That doesn't sound like begging, Ivory.
24:35Do you remember how well you begged when you needed my money?
24:40Do the world a favor and keep your wallet and your dick in your pants.
24:45You watch yourself.
24:47I'll send this video to the whole goddamn school.
24:49Unless you give me what I want.
24:51Prescott's only ever wanted one thing from me.
24:54But if getting him off one last time
24:56will keep Professor Marceau safe,
24:58so be it.
24:59Let's just get this over with.
25:05It's too late for your pussy to get you out of this one.
25:08I want the Leopold Fellowship.
25:10What?
25:14So, you're going to tell that precious professor of yours
25:17that you're dropping out.
25:18Then you're both going to sign this form
25:19to officially forfeit your audition.
25:21He won't sign that.
25:23He already agreed to recommend me.
25:24Oh, I don't know about that, Ivory.
25:26Something's telling me that
25:27he'll probably change his mind.
25:29What are you talking about?
25:31You and the professor are quite close.
25:33I'll be asking myself.
25:36But if you step one fucking foot in the auditorium tonight,
25:39I'll take you both on with one little text message.
25:48If you don't have anywhere to go,
25:50you come to me.
25:51No matter how hard I try to stay away,
25:53you keep pulling me back.
25:55You're magnetic,
25:57Miss Westbrook.
25:58I'm going to recommend you
25:59for the Leopold Fellowship, Ivory.
26:01With the head instructor's recommendation,
26:03this spot will be yours.
26:05If giving up Leopold means
26:06we can have a future together,
26:08I'm willing to lose everything,
26:09as long as I don't lose him.
26:12I need to go find him.
26:24What the hell are you doing here?
26:27Is that how you greet all your lovers?
26:34You sure went off the grid, didn't you?
26:37Did you really think
26:38you could start fresh at a new school
26:39and your past wouldn't catch up to you?
26:41What past?
26:42We had sex once.
26:44Now it's because you got me drunk.
26:46Then you framed me for coercion
26:48and ruined my career.
26:49All because you were obsessed
26:51because I never looked at you twice.
26:53Better watch your tone, Emmerich.
26:54I ruined your reputation once
26:56and I can easily do it again.
27:01And I bet this school
27:03would be very interested
27:04in hearing my story.
27:10So that's how you got me fired.
27:12What was the boss?
27:15A good girl is always prepared.
27:17Now, are you ready
27:18to follow directions, Professor?
27:20You are actually insane.
27:24You should be committed.
27:26I am committed, Emmerich.
27:27To you.
27:31So why don't you come over here
27:32and give me a kiss hello?
27:36Or are you ready
27:37to abandon your darling students?
27:40I remember how all the girls
27:42used to watch your every move
27:43with their doe eyes.
27:46I wonder
27:48if I and Westbrook here
27:50is any different.
27:53According to her file,
27:54you two have been spending
27:55quite a bit of quality time together.
28:01Ivory's audition is tonight.
28:03If I get fired,
28:04I can't help her get the fellowship.
28:06I have to keep my job
28:07until Ivory gets her dream.
28:09After tonight,
28:10I can scorch it all down.
28:15Good.
28:18Please, Emmerich.
28:19My dead grandmother
28:20kisses better than that.
28:21Give me a real kiss.
28:24Or...
28:29Better yet,
28:30get me off
28:31and I'll let you off easy today.
28:33You're doing this for Ivory.
28:35Just this once.
28:36Get it over with.
28:37I'm sorry.
28:52Why is the dean calling
28:54Professor Marceau?
28:55Clock's ticking on our deal,
28:57Emmerich.
28:58Unless you want your time
28:59at Le Moyne to end
29:00the same way it did
29:01at your last school,
29:03you better tell Miss Westbrook
29:05that you're recommending Prescott
29:07for the Leopold Fellowship.
29:08Now!
29:11Now!
29:21Professor?
29:31So this is the shiny new plaything
29:33in the flesh.
29:34I thought she'd be
29:35at least a little more mature.
29:37Who the hell is this?
29:38Do you let all your students
29:40talk to you like this
29:40or do you let it slide
29:41with special cases?
29:43Enough, Joanne.
29:44Get out.
29:45Or I'll have campus security
29:46escort you out.
29:48I tell you to watch your tone,
29:49but how can I stay mad
29:51at a face like this?
29:54Besides,
29:55why do I need a male escort
29:56when I have him?
29:58I'll let you
29:59and your new pet talk.
30:04Something to remember me by.
30:06Don't worry,
30:06I have plenty more saved
30:07on my computer.
30:15Those photos
30:16were supposed to wrap
30:17and work on my finger.
30:18That tiny skink
30:19is not taking it away.
30:24Nowhere to run now, bitch.
30:29This
30:30is the dirt
30:31Dean Robert has on you,
30:33isn't it?
30:33This is why you wanted me
30:35to give up on my dream.
30:38Oh, professor.
30:40So, about Leopold.
30:41Miss Westbrook,
30:42maybe the Fellowship
30:43isn't the best option for you.
30:45I think
30:45that you should stop
30:46being a coward
30:47and admit that
30:48you don't think
30:48I'm good enough.
30:49Not for you.
30:51And not for the
30:51Leopold Fellowship.
30:55Why do you keep
30:55denying me what I want?
30:57The reason
30:59you've been holding me back
31:00from Leopold.
31:01From my dream.
31:03So you can save
31:05your own apps.
31:07You forgot your phone,
31:08by the way.
31:11I agree,
31:12I can explain.
31:13No,
31:13no,
31:13I can't believe
31:14I was ready to give up
31:16everything for you.
31:17For us.
31:26You know what
31:27the worst part is?
31:29Is that I actually
31:30fell in love with you.
31:32But,
31:33I should have known
31:33you never really cared,
31:35professor.
31:37Why do you
31:37don't think that I care?
31:38I don't give two shits
31:40about what Dean Riverd
31:41wants or my career.
31:43Okay,
31:43but you,
31:45you're the only one
31:46that I care about.
31:58I don't give two shits
31:58no,
31:59you don't get to kiss
32:00and make up.
32:01Those lips
32:01have lied to me
32:02over and over
32:04and over.
32:05How can I believe
32:05anything you say now?
32:07I was trying to...
32:08No,
32:09and all you've done
32:10is hurt me.
32:11Look,
32:11you have no idea
32:13what these people
32:13here are capable of.
32:18and you not to trust
32:19any of them.
32:20But you,
32:21professor,
32:23you lured me in.
32:26And you caught me
32:27in your trap.
32:28And then you played me
32:29like a damn sonata.
32:30You were already
32:32betrayed my crimes.
32:34And you shattered my heart.
32:35So I am not
32:37going to stay
32:38to see what you break next.
32:46I don't want to be here,
32:47but I have to get my dress
32:49for the audition.
32:50I won't let anything
32:51ruin my chances.
32:52Not Emrick,
32:53not anyone.
32:56I'm taking you home,
32:58baby sis.
32:59You're long overdue
33:00for a family reunion.
33:12Ivory.
33:17Why am I back home?
33:18If I miss my audition,
33:20I can say goodbye
33:20to any chance of a future
33:22of fulfilling my dream
33:23for dad.
33:26She,
33:27let me go.
33:28You've been missing
33:29curfew sis.
33:31What,
33:31you didn't think I'd notice?
33:33You jumping ship,
33:34go play princess
33:35at Prince Charming's
33:36fucking castle!
33:40I'm coming, Ivory.
33:42Be brave for me.
33:48Let me ask you.
33:49Do you think
33:50he's really gonna want you?
33:53If you can't even play
33:54Twinkle,
33:55Twinkle Little
33:56fucking star?
33:58Stop.
33:59Shane.
34:03That's not how we treat
34:04our merchandise, Shane.
34:05I mean,
34:06the van will be here
34:07in five,
34:08so sit tight.
34:10Well, it's not like
34:10you have a choice.
34:11What do you mean,
34:12merchandise?
34:13I tried to warn you.
34:15If you were gonna pay
34:16the loan sharks back,
34:17I was gonna cut a deal
34:18and save my ass.
34:21So now you're taking
34:22a one-way trip
34:23to Wyoming.
34:25Well, they have
34:25the perfect place
34:27for sluts like you
34:27out there.
34:28They're signing me off?
34:31You know,
34:32you've had so much practice
34:33whoring yourself around
34:34at school.
34:35I'd let you go out there
34:36and do what you do best
34:37for the rest of your life.
34:43Don't tell me
34:43I'm too late.
34:47A whorehouse sounds like
34:48the perfect home
34:49for a little hussy.
34:50You don't even know me.
34:51I know that the only reason
34:53why Emmerich isn't
34:53falling in line right now
34:55because he'd rather
34:56protect you
34:56than his own reputation.
34:58Once you're gone,
34:59he'll do whatever I want.
35:02Oh, but don't worry.
35:03He'll be able to keep
35:04his job and have a future
35:06like me.
35:08Like he'll do anything with you
35:09after you ruined his life.
35:10So what?
35:11If I got Emmerich drunk
35:12and framed him for sexual assault?
35:14I know how to tame my man.
35:19Man's here.
35:20Time to say our goodbyes, sis.
35:25No.
35:26No.
35:27No.
35:28No.
35:29No.
35:34You know,
35:35I'd say I'd miss you,
35:36but we both know
35:38you're more valuable to me
35:39as a cash cow
35:39than a sister.
35:41Oh, don't worry, Ivory.
35:42I'm sure plenty of men
35:44will want you in Wyoming.
35:52No.
35:55Let her go!
35:56Or the next thing
35:57I slit is your throat.
36:09Let her go!
36:10Or the next thing
36:11I slit is your throat.
36:13Looks like a broken wrist
36:14wasn't enough, huh?
36:15How about it break your face?
36:17They'll weigh the only drugs
36:18you get to give up your throat
36:19fucking tube.
36:34Give me one good reason
36:35why I shouldn't let the cops
36:36take you right now.
36:37Because I still have pictures
36:39that can ruin you in seconds.
36:46I'm sorry.
36:47I can't risk my job.
36:50Not until you get your dream.
36:54You see,
36:55she's the one who framed you
36:56and was selling me off.
36:58Run your mouth all you want,
36:59but you don't have any proof
37:00of what I've done.
37:01Or do I, Joanne?
37:03The Lone Sharks may have
37:05trashed the place,
37:05but they never found the camera
37:07that I used to record
37:08my piano sessions.
37:09The camera I record
37:1024-7.
37:12So what if I got Emmerick drunk
37:14and framed him for sexual assaults?
37:21Right on time.
37:26Right on time.
37:27What?
37:29Your photos mean nothing
37:31now that we have your confession.
37:33You should feel right at home in those,
37:34shouldn't you?
37:35You think this is over?
37:37You know what?
37:37It's a matter of time
37:38for the whole world finds out
37:40about your disgusting affair.
37:43You'll both be ruined!
37:45No!
37:46Let me go!
37:46No!
37:47No!
37:50You're supposed to be my brother.
37:52My only family.
37:54And all you have done
37:55is hurt me.
37:57And I'm done.
37:58You're in Westbrook,
37:59you're under arrest
38:00for domestic violence,
38:02possession of illegal drugs,
38:04and attempted kidnapping
38:04and trafficking.
38:06No!
38:06What?
38:07Sis, come on!
38:08You're not gonna let your big bro
38:09go to jail, are you?
38:10I wouldn't.
38:11But you're not my brother anymore.
38:13I know!
38:14As of today,
38:14we're strangers.
38:17Think about that
38:18when you rot in the cell, Shane.
38:20No!
38:21No, no, no!
38:22Sis!
38:23No!
38:26Harvey.
38:26No, I don't wanna talk.
38:28Look at me.
38:30I owe you an explanation for everything.
38:33I owe you an explanation for everything.
38:35It's the least you deserve.
38:38After Joanne got me fired
38:40from my last school,
38:41no one would take me
38:42except LeMoyne.
38:43I didn't know until after
38:45we met.
38:47that I was only hired
38:48because Dean River
38:49wanted a favor from me.
38:51Yeah, I recommend Prescott
38:52for the fellowship.
38:53Okay?
38:53You were trying to save yourself.
38:55At first.
38:56Well, yes.
39:00When I met you.
39:02You were fearless.
39:04You were fearless.
39:04You were fearless.
39:06God, you were so beautiful.
39:08You made me wanna protect you.
39:10To fight for you.
39:13Dean River knew that I came.
39:14God.
39:15She threatened to hurt you worse
39:16if I didn't.
39:18And...
39:21I was just trying to protect you.
39:22I'm so sorry, Avi.
39:24Listen, I...
39:25I couldn't care less
39:27without my career.
39:30I couldn't care less
39:31without my career.
39:34as long as you get yours.
39:36The only one I care about
39:38in this whole world.
39:39Everything else comes second.
39:41It always will.
39:43As long as you'll let me.
39:46I thought I was wrong with it.
39:48It was.
39:50I'm not good enough.
39:51Aubrey.
39:52You...
39:53were born...
39:54to play.
39:56Don't let my mistakes
39:58get in the way of your future.
39:59Your dream.
40:04For everything.
40:05Professor.
40:06Professor?
40:07I guess after everything
40:09that's all she'd rather see me as.
40:10I should respect that.
40:13Now...
40:15Don't you have some place to be?
40:17Wait.
40:20Just do me.
40:21Won't worry.
40:24Anything.
40:26Gets me.
40:31Gets me.
40:36Gets me.
40:37I...
40:39Don't you have an audition
40:40to get to, Miss Westbrook?
40:42I look like I got hit by a truck.
40:44And I don't have time to clean up.
40:46Max.
40:47Well, it's the judges who you play
40:49and I give my recommendation.
40:50There'll be no doubt in your mind
40:52that you belong on that stage.
40:54We're still gonna be late.
40:56Twenty years and I haven't missed an audition.
40:58I ain't starting now.
41:12Next up is Ms. Ivory Westbrook.
41:24Next up is Ms. Ivory Westbrook.
41:32Ms. Ivory Westbrook.
41:35Don't worry, Mom.
41:36I took care of it.
41:37There's no way she's showing her face to me.
41:39And I made sure that professor of yours knows exactly who he works for.
41:44That spot is yours and nobody's getting in your way.
41:47If Ms. Westbrook doesn't have the decency to show up on time,
41:52maybe she should learn that being a musician requires a little respect.
41:57Yes.
41:58If Ms. Westbrook is not present, we have no choice but to consider her disqualified.
42:06I'm here.
42:07I'm here.
42:08I'm ready.
42:12Ivory Westbrook from Le Moyne Conservatory.
42:14I'm ready to audition.
42:17Ivory Westbrook of Le Moyne Conservatory.
42:20I'm ready to audition.
42:21Are you kidding?
42:22Look at the dirt on her face.
42:24She clearly has no respect for the fellowship.
42:27Ms. Westbrook is my student.
42:28And she's been preparing for this for months.
42:31She will play.
42:40Proceed, Ms. Westbrook.
42:45Lucie Westbrook.
42:54This is everything Dad wanted from me.
42:57I don't know why she's there.
43:00Blackberry, you were born to play.
43:24I need a student who is 100% committed to my roles.
43:29Teach me, Professor.
43:35First rule, no lies.
43:39Second, do not question my methods.
43:44Third, never look away.
43:49Delicate, astonishing, and obsession.
44:21Second, do not question my things.
44:36Thank you, Ms. Westbrook.
44:37Now, we've written the name of our preferred candidate in this envelope,
44:41but that's not the final decision.
44:43For tradition, we seek recommendation from the instructor,
44:47Professor Marceau.
44:48Who do you recommend for the Leopold Fellowship?
44:51Ivory Westbrook or Prescott-Rabert?
44:55Don't worry, son. He'll still pick you.
44:58I've made sure of it.
45:00The student I'm choosing has demonstrated talent of the highest caliber.
45:03They've proven that they'll do whatever it takes to be the best.
45:06That is why the student that I'm choosing is...
45:10Remember our deal.
45:13Ivory Westbrook.
45:16What?
45:18He's screwing her!
45:20Professor...
45:21Emric Marceau is sleeping with Ivory Westbrook.
45:29That's right.
45:30Emric Marceau is sleeping with Ivory Westbrook.
45:34His student...
45:36Emric Marceau is a predator.
45:39And Ivory Westbrook is a cheap whore sleeping her way to the top.
45:43A professor sleeping with his student?
45:45What a scandal.
45:46Professor Marceau, is this true?
45:49What exactly is the nature of your relationship with Ms. Westbrook?
45:53It's okay.
45:54I told you you'd be the only one I care about.
45:58It's true.
46:00I've crossed professional boundaries and fallen in love with Ivory Westbrook.
46:03No!
46:07But that is not a crime.
46:10We are two consenting adults who just happen to meet in this wrong time and the wrong place.
46:15And we've come to understand that our music is better together than anything that we could do alone.
46:22So you can fire me or blacklist me, but Ivory is innocent.
46:26And she deserves a fellowship more than anyone.
46:28He gave up his career for me.
46:33I don't care about the legalities of your relationship, but we can no longer accept your recommendation given this obvious
46:40conflict of interest.
46:42Give it up, Ivory.
46:44Turns out you wasted your blowjobs on the wrong men.
46:46Is this really the end of the road?
46:48Did Professor Marceau really put everything on the line for me?
46:51Only for it to all crash and burn.
46:55Go on.
46:56Tell us which student at Le Moyne gets the fellowship.
46:59Not so fast.
47:00As long as we're airing out our dirty laundry, I have something I think the judges need to see.
47:07If I'm going down, I'm burning the whole damn bridge with me.
47:17Your blackmailing Professor Marceau gave me the Leopold Fellowship.
47:20You know you deserve it way more than that Ivory girl.
47:23Besides, I know how to control Everett.
47:25As long as his job's at stake, he'll do whatever I say.
47:31They belong in jail.
47:33That's not us.
47:34You don't understand.
47:36I think everyone who saw understands perfectly.
47:40Professor Marceau and Ms. Westbrook may have told the line of unprofessionalism, but you two have committed a crime.
47:47It's cold.
47:51We've seen and heard enough today to make our decision.
47:54This year's Leopold Fellowship will go to Ivory Westbrook.
48:10Congratulations, Ms. Westbrook.
48:20I can't believe this.
48:21Well, the first moment I heard you play, I knew the fellowship would be yours.
48:26This is preposterous!
48:27You little slut!
48:29This is all your fault!
48:31You've ruined everything!
48:32Now you're going to pay for it!
48:42You're all right?
48:45Let me go!
48:48Adding assault on a student to a long list of charges.
48:51I think your boss would be very interested to know of your recent actions.
48:56Both of yours.
48:57He's right!
49:00Leopold Davis!
49:01What are you doing here?
49:03I'm here to fire you, Beverly.
49:06I'm here to fire you, Beverly.
49:08And if you're lucky, the university will press charges for all the damages you've done to our reputation.
49:14This is all a misunderstanding.
49:16And I'm sure the police will be happy to hear all about it, which is why I've come to personally
49:22escort you and your son down to the station.
49:26Even you can't buy yourself out of this one, Prescott?
49:28Good luck trying to find a school that will hire you.
49:32Take them away.
49:38Thank you so much for this opportunity.
49:40I promise I won't let you down.
49:42To be honest, we chose you before Professor Marceau made his recommendation, based solely on your talent and merit.
49:51It's with full sincerity that I say you deserve the Leopold Fellowship, Ms. Westbrook.
50:06If you ever doubt yourself, just look at that envelope.
50:10Or I can just have my professor tell me how good I am.
50:14Come with me, Ms. Westbrook.
50:20What's wrong?
50:23I'm going to resign.
50:25What?
50:27I'm going to resign.
50:28No, you can't.
50:30If I stay by your side, people won't recognize you for your talent.
50:35All they see is our affair.
50:36You really care what anyone thinks?
50:38I don't care what they think.
50:39I care about you.
50:42And you being able to focus on your music without the noise.
50:45I stayed as long as I did to make sure that you got the fellowship.
50:48Now my job is over.
50:50What?
50:50Hey, do not question my methods, Ms. Westbrook.
50:55Listen to me.
50:56I've always known what I wanted and how to get it.
51:00Then you came along.
51:01Everything I thought that mattered.
51:03Music.
51:04Career.
51:06Success.
51:09It's all second to you.
51:11So please, Ms. Westbrook, allow me to take care of you one last time.
51:32Oh, thank you, Dean Simmons.
51:33It's an honor.
51:34I'll let you know if I decide to join you with the arts faculty.
51:37No, no, no.
51:38I just have a few other offers I'm going to take.
51:58Hello, Professor Marceau.
52:02What are you doing here, Ivory?
52:03Are you questioning my methods, Professor?
52:07You're the one who hasn't changed the door code.
52:09Allow me to introduce myself.
52:11My name is Ivory Westbrook.
52:13I'm a piano major at Le Moyne Conservatory and a Leopold Fellow.
52:18I have a car and a new apartment and a nice neighborhood, all sponsored by the fellowship.
52:25It's very impressive, Ms. Westbrook.
52:28The only thing that's missing is the perfect instructor.
52:32So.
52:35Professor Marceau, do you teach private school?
