00:00:00My first day at Looney University, the school my family's ruled for generations.
00:00:13Don't bother signing up for fencing, no.
00:00:16Scared I'll beat you?
00:00:17As if.
00:00:19We both know that I'm winning nationals and qualifying for the Olympics.
00:00:22While I'm going for gold, you'll be going for minimum wage at Burger King.
00:00:27Oh my God, are those...
00:00:29The Ashworth twins?
00:00:32Their dad is the Olympic fencing champion.
00:00:35Their last name is on our gym.
00:00:38Hi, nice to meet you, I'm Melody.
00:00:41You're the Lauren Ashworth?
00:00:44Oh, um, hold these.
00:00:47Thanks.
00:00:49Later, loser.
00:00:53My biggest fight won't be fencing.
00:00:55It'll be finally stepping out of Lauren's shadow.
00:00:59It's Melody Ashworth.
00:01:07You finally decided practice is worth your time?
00:01:09I'm so sorry I got lost.
00:01:10I first practiced and I've already pissed off Roman Wright.
00:01:14Retired world champion and my new coach.
00:01:17Do not be late again.
00:01:21Congratulations.
00:01:23You've made the most elite college fencing team in the world.
00:01:26I'm your coach, Roman Wright.
00:01:29I'll be shaping you into champions.
00:01:30See what we're working with.
00:01:31Who volunteers for a bout?
00:01:35Melody volunteers.
00:01:36No, I...
00:01:39Come on.
00:01:42I saw the way you looked at him.
00:01:44I'm just trying to help you out, sis.
00:01:46Well?
00:01:48Go kick his ass.
00:01:55I'll do it.
00:01:56On guard.
00:02:03Impressive.
00:02:05The Ashworth reputation doesn't disappoint.
00:02:09She's incredible.
00:02:15You almost had me there.
00:02:16I'm just warming up.
00:02:18Ow, Mel.
00:02:29Great technique.
00:02:31You messed with my sword.
00:02:34This is what happens when you don't take proper care of your equipment.
00:02:37Sir, I...
00:02:37I expected better from you.
00:02:39Since you can't practice, run laps.
00:02:42Everybody else, pair off.
00:02:48Coach Wright, do you think you can help me with my stance?
00:02:50Yeah, I'll do it.
00:02:51I'll do it.
00:02:53I'm really excited.
00:02:56Mix a little longer.
00:02:57Okay.
00:02:57Let's get really deep down.
00:03:10Good job today, everyone.
00:03:11I'll see you next week, okay?
00:03:12Keep up the good work.
00:03:18You set me up.
00:03:23You messed with my sword.
00:03:25Admit it.
00:03:28Welcome to college, Mel.
00:03:30Here's your first lesson.
00:03:31I'm a champion.
00:03:33And you...
00:03:34You're just a train wreck.
00:03:37And I think Roman can see that.
00:03:38Screw you.
00:03:39I want a fair fight right now.
00:03:41You and me.
00:03:45Fine.
00:03:46You're a glutton for punishment, sis.
00:03:51Lender your sword.
00:03:55Try not to break it this time.
00:03:58Game on, sis.
00:04:00En garde.
00:04:03Quit.
00:04:04Allez.
00:04:06Point Melody.
00:04:12Point Lauren.
00:04:14Next point wins.
00:04:16I'm just as good as you.
00:04:18We'll see about that.
00:04:28Boop.
00:04:30Hi, Wyn.
00:04:30And you cry.
00:04:33I guess sometimes never change.
00:04:35All right.
00:04:37Come on, girls.
00:04:39Let's get out of here and leave her with what's left of her dignity.
00:04:44Bye.
00:04:44I don't know.
00:05:14Night-night training session?
00:05:26Well, I need the work, obviously.
00:05:29You're on.
00:05:30I see.
00:05:38Your work hurts.
00:05:41There.
00:05:43Sit.
00:05:44I'm fine.
00:05:45It wasn't a suggestion.
00:05:46Sit.
00:05:47If you push through this pain, you're going to break yourself.
00:06:15Don't be reckless.
00:06:16What if I want to be reckless, coach?
00:06:24Do not tempt me, Miss Ashworth.
00:06:26You got her challenging your sister, didn't you?
00:06:40You got her challenging your sister, didn't you?
00:06:53How did you know?
00:06:54I noticed things.
00:06:56You're dedicated, but you're rough around the edges.
00:06:58You're serious about beating your sister.
00:06:59I can train you.
00:07:00You will?
00:07:01If you're willing to wake up early, meet me on the field 6 a.m. sharp on Friday.
00:07:07Do not be late.
00:07:08Miss Melody, there's a car waiting for you up front.
00:07:35What?
00:07:37I didn't ask for a car.
00:07:38I didn't ask for a car.
00:07:38I didn't ask for a car.
00:07:52No, please, no!
00:07:57Shut up, stupid.
00:08:00We're not being murdered.
00:08:02What the hell is happening?
00:08:04Dad.
00:08:08Dad.
00:08:09Dad.
00:08:10Dad.
00:08:11Dad.
00:08:12Dad.
00:08:13Dad.
00:08:14Dad.
00:08:15Dad.
00:08:16Dad.
00:08:17Dad.
00:08:18Dad.
00:08:19Dad.
00:08:20Dad.
00:08:21Dad.
00:08:31Ah!
00:08:32There they are.
00:08:34My champions.
00:08:35Dad, I had another class.
00:08:37Yeah, and I had a date.
00:08:38Daddy, it's literally only the second day of college.
00:08:41Silence.
00:08:43According to centuries-old Ashworth tradition, your
00:08:51Your first year at university determines your fate.
00:08:54Whoever wins the fencing championship in June
00:08:58shall inherit our estate.
00:09:01The other shall be removed from the will.
00:09:07When an Ashworth generation bears two children of equal age,
00:09:12only one may inherit our legacy.
00:09:15This honor must be decided in their 21st year
00:09:18according to a duel.
00:09:21Dad, are you drunk?
00:09:22Sober as the edge of a blade.
00:09:25So you're saying one of us is going
00:09:27to get kicked out of the will by the end of the year?
00:09:29We'll fund a championship bout at the university.
00:09:33My twin brother and I competed there decades ago,
00:09:36as did the last twins before us.
00:09:38Wait, so that's why Uncle Rob lives in a hut off the grid?
00:09:42And you went to the Olympics.
00:09:44This is not a game.
00:09:46No distractions, no cheating, no bribery or sabotage.
00:09:51This is a test of skill.
00:09:53Only clean fencing.
00:09:55That's easy.
00:09:57Because I was born for this.
00:09:59So was I.
00:10:00If I don't beat Lauren at the end of the year, I'll lose everything.
00:10:14There's an exclusive varsity athlete party tonight, and you're all invited.
00:10:19See you there.
00:10:26Melody, are you coming?
00:10:28Oh, no.
00:10:29Melody is not invited.
00:10:31The only reason why she's even on our team is because of our family name,
00:10:34which she won't be having much longer.
00:10:37I don't care about your party.
00:10:39No.
00:10:41No.
00:10:42No.
00:10:43No.
00:10:44Let's go.
00:11:14Lauren, you've stepped on me our whole lives.
00:11:25That changes tonight.
00:11:44I'm hot 24-7.
00:11:46I'm hot 24-7.
00:11:50Lauren, you made it!
00:11:52Nice goodwill dress.
00:11:57You're not invited.
00:11:59I thought the party was for winners only, so I thought you weren't invited.
00:12:03Bitch.
00:12:04Let me get you a drink.
00:12:06I've never been to a party before or had a drink before.
00:12:13Okay, what are you doing?
00:12:15You don't owe her your time.
00:12:17Come on.
00:12:18Hello?
00:12:19Can you not be a pig?
00:12:21Let's go.
00:12:22No.
00:12:23Excuse.
00:12:24June.
00:12:25No.
00:12:26June.
00:12:27No.
00:12:28June.
00:12:29I'm sorry.
00:12:30No.
00:12:31For you.
00:12:32Let's go, bitches!
00:12:34Come on, everyone.
00:12:35Let's start playing.
00:12:36Yay!
00:12:37Justin.
00:12:38Truth or dare?
00:12:39Dare.
00:12:40Dare.
00:12:41Hmm.
00:12:42Hmm.
00:12:43Well, I dare you to kiss the hottest girl in the room.
00:12:47Oh!
00:12:48Oh!
00:12:49Oh!
00:12:50Oh!

00:13:13Oh my God!
00:13:14What?
00:13:15Her?
00:13:16You must be joking.
00:13:17Kinda like how you were joking when you cheated at our fencing match?
00:13:20Shut up, attention whore.
00:13:22You act like you're untouchable, but you still sleep with Mr. Bear just like when you were
00:13:26five.
00:13:27That is not true!
00:13:28Here, look.
00:13:29I have a picture.
00:13:30Look.
00:13:31Ah!
00:13:32Oh!
00:13:33Oh!
00:13:34That's not funny.
00:13:35You know what else isn't funny?
00:13:37She bribed the judges so that she'd win skates our junior year of high school.
00:13:42Shut up!
00:13:43You're such a liar!
00:13:45None of that ever happened.
00:13:47Enjoy your party.
00:13:48Bye, bitch.
00:13:49Bye, bitch.
00:14:06Roman Wright, I challenge you to a duel.
00:14:12No.
00:14:13I'm scared I'll win.
00:14:14Yeah, you're drunk.
00:14:15You're gonna poke your own eye out.
00:14:16No one believes in me.
00:14:17Come on!
00:14:18It's enough.
00:14:19Let go!
00:14:20Fight me!
00:14:21I'm gonna lose.
00:14:22Lauren's gonna beat me at the end of the year and I'm gonna get kicked out of my family's
00:14:25will.
00:14:26Not if I train you.
00:14:27You remember?
00:14:286 a.m. tomorrow morning?
00:14:29Or did you forget?
00:14:30Mm-hmm.

00:15:16I regret my entire life.
00:15:19Champions train under brutal conditions.
00:15:22Even self-inflicted ones.
00:15:25Fantastic.
00:15:26I'll poison myself before every practice.
00:15:28You wouldn't be the first college athlete to try that.
00:15:30Okay, come.
00:15:31Stretch.
00:15:45This will help your injury.
00:15:47That feels good.
00:15:52Um, suit up.
00:15:55Since your right hand is injured, I'll train with your left.
00:16:06I can't.
00:16:09Yes, you can.
00:16:10Come on.
00:16:14En garde.
00:16:16Up.
00:16:20This is humiliating.
00:16:21I feel like a total beginner.
00:16:22Hey.
00:16:23You said you wanted to fight.
00:16:24So channel all your resentment for how early it is or your anger from your sister and fight
00:16:29me.
00:16:35Up.
00:16:39Again.
00:16:40You're too stiff.
00:16:47Relax your wrist and your stance is off.
00:16:49Again.
00:16:58Well done.
00:17:00But it could be better.
00:17:01Can I have my victory for two seconds?
00:17:02Hey, you're still favoring your right side.
00:17:04Okay, try shifting your weight.
00:17:05Here.

00:24:12social comparison theory suggests we define ourselves based on how we feel we measure up to others

00:34:52Oh my God, is that Melody Ashworth?
00:34:55She looks like a model.
00:34:56Shut up.
00:34:59Hey, I was hoping you'd show.
00:35:01You sure made an impression on me.
00:35:04You look beautiful tonight.
00:35:07Can I get you a drink?
00:35:09Sure.
00:35:12I can't stop thinking about Roman.
00:35:16But here's this hot guy completely into me.
00:35:19I should be enjoying this.
00:35:21A true gentleman.
00:35:27Hey.
00:35:29I saw you spiking.
00:35:31What? No, I didn't.
00:35:33Drink it.
00:35:34Whoa, hey man, whoa.
00:35:42Rufus.
00:35:43What, you were going to put one in her drink and take her upstairs and then what?
00:35:46You think that makes you a man?
00:35:47It was a joke, coach.
00:35:48It was a joke.
00:35:49You're fucking pathetic.
00:35:50You're off the team and tomorrow you'll be expelled.
00:35:55I could have handled myself.
00:35:56I just saved your ass.
00:35:58Oh, my knight in shining armor.
00:36:00I thought we weren't supposed to be alone anymore.
00:36:02He could have raped you, okay?
00:36:04I wanted to kill him.
00:36:05Oh, so you care about me.
00:36:08Admit you care about me.
00:36:10Yes, okay?
00:36:11I care about you.
00:36:13Even when you're fencing, I cannot get you out of my brain.
00:36:16Yes.
00:36:19Tell me to stop and I will.
00:36:20Go.
00:36:56You sure you want to keep going?
00:37:01It's my first time.
00:37:04Oh.
00:37:07This is a really big deal then.
00:37:11You sure you want to continue?
00:37:15Just go slow.
00:37:19Of course.
00:37:26You're still here.
00:37:40How else would I be?
00:37:41Maybe I dreamt you.
00:37:44Or maybe I went too far and scared you off.
00:37:48What's this?
00:37:52An old wound.
00:37:54A mistake.
00:37:56You went to the Olympics, but you never competed.
00:38:01And then you disappeared from the circuit.
00:38:04Smart girl.
00:38:06I was young and reckless, and everybody thought I was going to take home the gold.
00:38:12The night before my bout, a rival challenged me to a private match.
00:38:18He fought dirty with a sharpened blade and cut deep into my leg.
00:38:25I was ashamed, and judges never found out, and he went on to win the gold.
00:38:31I never competed again.
00:38:33Why did you fight him alone?
00:38:36Why do you support Lauren?
00:38:40Pride.
00:38:41To prove that I was the best.
00:38:47Don't make the same mistakes I did.
00:38:51Don't throw away your future.
00:38:56Even if we just did.
00:38:57I don't regret last night.
00:39:12I hope that doesn't change.
00:39:23It's my dad.
00:39:27Melody Ashworth, come home now!
00:39:33I have to go.
00:39:39Daddy, look.
00:39:42It's not fair.
00:39:45Your sister sent me this.
00:39:46What are you doing with Coach Wright?
00:39:48Explain yourself.
00:39:49It's not what it looks like.
00:39:51Did you sleep with your sister's coach?
00:39:54That would constitute cheating.
00:39:55No, he walked me home.
00:39:58Nothing happened.
00:39:59Liar.
00:40:00You're in the same dress from last night.
00:40:02I bet you didn't even go back to your dorm.
00:40:05This is a disgrace.
00:40:06My own daughter compromising the integrity of the game.
00:40:11She broke the rules of the contract.
00:40:13Daddy, disqualify her.
00:40:16No, please, Dad.
00:40:17I've trained my entire life to make you proud.
00:40:20This is my chance.
00:40:21I need it.
00:40:22If you're going to fight there, we need to remove any distractions.
00:40:26Absolutely.
00:40:26Of course.
00:40:27You will no longer train with Roman Wright.
00:40:31Furthermore, now's as good a time as any.
00:40:38Leo, our arrangement will need to begin sooner than we discussed.
00:40:43Come over.
00:40:44Dad, who's Leo?
00:40:45Yeah, who's Leo?
00:40:46What's going on?
00:40:47If Roman Wright is such a distraction to you, we need to find another outlet for your temptations.
00:40:53Someone more suitable.
00:40:56Melody, meet your fiancée.
00:40:58Pleasure.
00:41:12Pleasure.
00:41:13To meet my future wife.
00:41:15Melody, this is Leo Castellan, Olympic gold medalist.
00:41:18I was going to wait to tell you the good news about your arranged engagement.
00:41:23Leo Castellan?
00:41:24Where do I know that name from?
00:41:25Given the circumstances, Leo has agreed not only to marry you, but to take over your training as well.
00:41:31What?
00:41:32He was set to spar with Roman in the Olympics.
00:41:34He's the rival who ruined Roman's career.
00:41:36Oh, you've got to be kidding me.
00:41:38Dad, I don't want a fiancée.
00:41:41Either accept Leo or forfeit your place in the will.
00:41:45My decision is final.
00:41:47I guess you two are so cute together.
00:41:50Don't worry, princess.
00:41:55I've been waiting to get my hands on you.
00:41:58Then it's settled.
00:41:59I thought you overslept.
00:42:08I barely slept.
00:42:10Drills will wake you up.
00:42:12What'd your dad want?
00:42:14The thought of losing Roman makes me want to cry.
00:42:16I have to find a way out of this engagement.
00:42:19Just family stuff.
00:42:19You're looking a little stiff.
00:42:39Would it last night kind of wear you out?
00:42:41No.
00:42:42Just the opposite.
00:42:48Melody!
00:42:50Enjoying your last training session with your washed-up coach?
00:42:55What the hell are you doing on my campus?
00:42:57Just picking up my fiancée.
00:43:00You didn't tell me.
00:43:01You know, Roman, it happened so fast.
00:43:02Wait, wait, wait.
00:43:03Did you know about this when we were...
00:43:05No.
00:43:07Forget it.
00:43:09Congratulations to the both of you.
00:43:10Don't...
00:43:12Roman, wait!
00:43:13What could you possibly have to say to me right now?
00:43:17You lied to me.
00:43:18You don't understand my dad.
00:43:20Your father would be disappointed that you're still wasting time here.
00:43:26I get it.
00:43:28Just like a means to an end, huh?
00:43:31And here I thought that an Ashworth was capable of more than just playing games.
00:43:38No, Roman!
00:43:39He's just mad because he knows he's not good enough for you.
00:43:42That's a fencer or a man.
00:43:44Don't worry.
00:43:45I've got you now.
00:43:46Don't touch me!
00:43:47Don't be stupid, Melody.
00:43:49Without me, you can kiss your family fortune goodbye.
00:43:53I'd rather die than marry you.
00:43:57Don't say no to me.
00:44:01Nobody says no to me.
00:44:03I just did.
00:44:08You're gonna regret that, princess!
00:44:21Hi.
00:44:21So, you found out the truth about Melody.
00:44:30That you guys care more about your legacy than the feelings of actual human beings?
00:44:33Is that a line?
00:44:39You're still my student.
00:44:44Well, I can be more than just your student.
00:44:50I mean, come on.
00:44:53Melody?
00:44:55Melody is way beneath you.
00:44:57You deserve to be with a real champion.
00:45:01Like me.
00:45:02You're no champion.
00:45:13You've coasted on your name and neglected your duties to your team.
00:45:16Here's a tip.
00:45:18Spend more time on fencing and less on inappropriate suspension-worthy behavior.
00:45:25Let's see your practice, Ms. Ashworth.
00:45:26Oh, Clifton.
00:45:47You do things my husband would never dare.
00:45:51Does he know anything about us?
00:45:53He won't find out as long as you do the favor I asked for.
00:45:59Anything for you.
00:46:02My mother is having an affair with the university president?
00:46:12Whoa, you're sleeping with President Clifton?
00:46:14Shh.
00:46:15You saw nothing.
00:46:17Got it?
00:46:17Dad deserves to know.
00:46:18He won't believe a word from his scandal-ridden daughter.
00:46:21You already lost his trust.
00:46:24Once you had your little fling with Coach Wright.
00:46:27Mom!
00:46:29How could you?
00:46:30Well, I'll be better off.
00:46:32Once Lauren wins and you're no longer our problem.
00:46:36If you say a word,
00:46:39your tuition vanishes.
00:46:42Got it?
00:46:42Robin thinks I used him and my mom's cheating on my dad
00:46:54and if I don't marry Leo,
00:46:56I'm going to lose everything.
00:46:58You're going to win the championships
00:47:00and your mom is going to eat her words
00:47:01and then you can divorce Leo's crusty ass promise.
00:47:04I can't marry him.
00:47:06Holy shit.
00:47:13The school's exclusive fencing society
00:47:15invited us to join.
00:47:16Tonight.
00:47:17This is your perfect chance
00:47:19to fix things with Roman.
00:47:20He won't talk to me.
00:47:22It's no good.
00:47:24He risked his career for you.
00:47:28I'm going to fix your makeup.
00:47:29But we're going.
00:47:36What is Leo doing here?
00:47:50What kind of fencing society is this?
00:47:52Well, he's alumni, right?
00:47:53He's probably just a member.
00:47:55Hey, don't worry.
00:47:56I'm going to look out for you, okay?
00:48:04Roman, can we jump?
00:48:05Please.
00:48:06Stop.
00:48:09Attention, champions.
00:48:13I'm Leo Castellan,
00:48:15president of the Luna University Elite Fencing Society.
00:48:18You're all here because you are the best.
00:48:21Well, most of you.
00:48:26How about we kick off tonight's festivities
00:48:28with a little game of skill.
00:48:30Who knows how to play strip points?
00:48:33I thought that game was banned.
00:48:34It's like a strip tease in dual form.
00:48:37Get the shirt off your opponent
00:48:39without touching their skin.
00:48:40If you're good, it should be easy.
00:48:44But if not, I guess we'll see.
00:48:47Their shirts or their dress.
00:48:52The loser owes the winner a favor.
00:48:54Melody Ashworth, care to help me demonstrate?
00:48:59Since you're so eager to take your clothes off,
00:49:02maybe I should go first?
00:49:04Okay, princess.
00:49:07But if you lose, I get an hour with you.
00:49:11Whatever I want.
00:49:12Oh, this is going to be so good.
00:49:29Good thing I never touch your body with a 10-foot pole.
00:49:33I just have to get his shirt off without touching him.
00:49:35Focus.
00:49:36Oops.
00:49:52That's a touch.
00:49:54Bummer.
00:49:55And she chokes.
00:49:57Classic Melody.
00:49:58Always screw it up.
00:50:00You moved.
00:50:00Now, now.
00:50:03Don't be a sore loser.
00:50:05Why don't we talk about that favor you owe me?
00:50:10I can do whatever I want with you.
00:50:18What do you say we go upstairs?
00:50:19You can make me forget about how you humiliated me.
00:50:22Okay, this is done.
00:50:23I saw you cheat.
00:50:25Well, that's quite the accusation.
00:50:26Coming from the guy who didn't bother to show his face at our Olympic bout.
00:50:30I guess those who can't do teach.
00:50:34She's not going anywhere with you.
00:50:35Oh, really?
00:50:36You're going to put your blade behind that?
00:50:38You want to bow?
00:50:38Right now?
00:50:40Oh, look.
00:50:41Roman Wright protecting his pathetic little pet.
00:50:44How cute.
00:50:45You.
00:50:46Me.
00:50:47Real blades.
00:50:48No mask.
00:50:49No gear.
00:50:50Just skill.
00:50:52If you win,
00:50:54I'll forgo Melody's favor to me.
00:50:56He's beating him into another unsafe fight.
00:50:59Roman could get hurt.
00:51:01Coach Wright,
00:51:03I'm fine.
00:51:07Let's finish this now.
00:51:09But on my terms,
00:51:11full gear,
00:51:12official rules.
00:51:14How it was supposed to be.
00:51:16Sure.
00:51:18Wouldn't want you getting hurt.
00:51:20Roman,
00:51:27he's dangerous.
00:51:28Don't do it.
00:51:29Welcome to the big league, sweetheart.
00:51:31Watch and learn.
00:51:32Best out of three.
00:51:34Unless you forfeit.
00:51:36Not to you,
00:51:37ever again.
00:51:38Coach Wright's in the lead.
00:51:56I won.
00:52:01I won.
00:52:05I won.
00:52:27We done here?
00:52:29I never lose!
00:52:30I'm the best in the world, and I'm going to take what's mine.
00:52:38Get off of her!
00:52:43That was a huge mistake, Bright.
00:52:45I'm going to destroy whatever's left of your career.
00:52:48Come on.
00:52:48We're leaving.
00:52:51Oh, that was way better than I thought.
00:53:00Here, let me.
00:53:04You've done enough.
00:53:06He put his hands on you.
00:53:08I had no choice.
00:53:09I had to protect you, and I lost control.
00:53:12You fought your rival.
00:53:15The man who ruined your life.
00:53:19And you won.
00:53:21Yeah, I did, didn't I?
00:53:25I was thinking about you the whole time.
00:53:27You don't want to be with him?
00:53:28I tried to tell you my family forced me to be with Leo.
00:53:32But I hate him.
00:53:36I'm falling for you.
00:53:41I'm falling for you, Roman, right?
00:53:44I know I shouldn't.
00:53:46And I've tried to forget you, but I can't.
00:53:50I've never felt this way before.
00:53:54You really are reckless.
00:53:55I'm falling for the guy that just by touching you could lose everything.
00:54:01And all I want to do is touch you and hold you and love you.
00:54:07When I thought you left me for Leo, I thought that everything we had was a lie.
00:54:12And that I lost the biggest treasure of my life.
00:54:16With my leg and within my fencing career.
00:54:19I could never lie to you.
00:54:22Not about how I feel.
00:54:26I love you.
00:54:28I love you too.
00:54:28I love you too.
00:54:58June, what is it? Sleeping.
00:55:00Check your socials. It's really bad.
00:55:14What was going on?
00:55:28I'm going to go to the school and I will take full responsibility.
00:55:31I'll resign and I'll tell them that it was completely on me.
00:55:35No!
00:55:37If the video had the part where Leo forced himself on me, people would understand.
00:55:40No, people see what they want to see, okay? I'm not letting you throw your future away for me.
00:55:44Well, I'm not letting you sacrifice yourself for saving me.
00:55:53President Clifton. He wants to see us in an hour.
00:55:56You promised me I won't lose you.
00:56:15Is it true?
00:56:16My employee assaulted an Olympic alumnus and then took a student home?
00:56:22The press is banging on our doors. It is a scandal.
00:56:27And Miss Ashworth, your family's reputation and fencing accolades have built this university.
00:56:34You've let us all down.
00:56:37President Clifton, you deserve the truth.
00:56:39That night, I...
00:56:42I... took advantage of Miss Ashworth, sir.
00:56:45My temper got the better of me and I'm sorry. She's completely innocent.
00:56:50Rome.
00:56:51Coach Wright, that's not the full story.
00:56:54Coach Wright, you're fired.
00:56:57And you are lucky if the Ashworth family and the Castellano estate don't press charges.
00:57:02You can't fire him. He's the best coach you've ever had. He cares and...
00:57:06Miss Ashworth, don't make me change my mind and expel you.
00:57:11It's been an honor serving this university, sir.
00:57:14I'll go pack my things.
00:57:24Roman Wright, don't walk away from me.
00:57:27We have to fight this.
00:57:28It's over, Miss Ashworth. I'm sorry.
00:57:31I heard they fired that sicko, Roman.
00:57:44I wonder who the new coach is?
00:57:46I don't know, but he better be hot.
00:57:49Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to practice.
00:57:54Since Mr. Wright was sacked due to misconduct, I'll be your new coach.
00:58:01And I quit.
00:58:09Bye-bye.
00:58:24I'm here for practice, coach.
00:58:28I'm not your coach anymore.
00:58:29Well, you said it yourself.
00:58:32If I'm going to win, I need to work harder than everyone else.
00:58:35Which means I need the best coach.
00:58:40Great.
00:58:41Yeah.
00:58:54Oh, wow.
00:58:55Stand up.
00:58:57Yeah, you're doing something.
00:58:58You're doing something.
00:59:00No!
00:59:02Oh, my God.
00:59:03You're almost ready.
00:59:04I better be, because my dad's furious.
00:59:09Well, since I'm technically no longer your coach anymore, how about a lunch date?
00:59:17Leo deserved that bloody nose.
00:59:18You gotta teach me how to punch like that.
00:59:20Absolutely not.
00:59:21You're dangerous enough as a fencer.
00:59:22Besides, I don't want anything hurting this perfect face.
00:59:23What's wrong?
00:59:24The competition's in a few days.
00:59:25And even when Lauren's not cheating, she's good.
00:59:26I might lose.
00:59:27You won't.
00:59:28You won't.
00:59:29You won't.
00:59:30You're better.
00:59:31I'm serious.
00:59:32And after chasing after you, if I lose, with all the chaos I caused, I might lose more
00:59:39than my parents' support.
00:59:40It might be my scholarship.
00:59:41I'd be out on the streets.
00:59:42I'd be out on the streets.
00:59:43I'd be out on the streets.
00:59:45For the rest of my life, I will always be there for you.
00:59:46Even if you lose, which you won't, you will always have a place to stay, and someone't
00:59:59fighting in your corner.
01:00:00I promise you.
01:00:02I'll enjoy being well.
01:00:03Be right back for you.
01:00:05The one who attracted you to me, is you?
01:00:10You can't.
01:00:12your corner. I promise you. What? You have soy sauce on your nose. Oh my god. What did I get it? Yes.
01:00:28I just realized something. I can't lose everything if I have you.
01:00:33Honored students, faculty, alumni, many great fencing champions have arisen from these holes.
01:00:47A handful of them bear the Ashworth name. My daughters have trained to be the best,
01:00:54just as their forefathers did. Judging their bout today, I welcome President Clifton.
01:01:03The Ashworth legacy bout is not just a match. It illustrates the pride and history of our
01:01:11university. And the past few weeks have seen some tribulations. So today, we begin our match
01:01:18with good, clean fencing. I'm surprised I let Roman show up. I hope he likes watching you lose.
01:01:27I hope you like fencing without bribing the judges.
01:01:29I hope you like it.
01:01:594-4. One point left. This decides the match.
01:02:03En garde. Prête?
01:02:06Allez!
01:02:15Point. Lauren Ashworth, the match is over.
01:02:17That wasn't clean. Miss Melody Ashworth, the bout is over. You lost.
01:02:26You shouldn't be judging at all. Your word means nothing.
01:02:29What did you just say?
01:02:30You're having an affair with my mother. That makes you unfit to judge this match.
01:02:34That is a dangerous and baseless accusation.
01:02:39After I saw you having an affair with my mother.
01:02:41What the fuck are you talking about? Just admit it.
01:02:43You lost and you're sad.
01:02:45I did some digging. Lauren and I never looked alike, even for fraternal twins.
01:02:50I found some hospital records in my mom's room.
01:02:52What? It's you.
01:02:58I don't know.
01:03:03They state that Lauren is not my daughter and that she was born a year after.
01:03:08After Melody, how can...
01:03:10You went abroad and taught fencing for two years while I was pregnant.
01:03:14Clifton was there for me when you weren't.
01:03:16I had the children.
01:03:18I forged the hospital documents to make them twins.
01:03:21You came back and you didn't even notice.
01:03:24I only want Lauren to have the rightful place in this family.
01:03:28Agnes, I won't lie for you anymore.
01:03:31I'll give you your money back.
01:03:33Lauren cheated.
01:03:34You paid the university president so I'd win?
01:03:37No, honey, no.
01:03:38What the fuck, Mom? I'm better than this!
01:03:41Not only is President Clifton an unfit judge, but Lauren is not my blood daughter.
01:03:48Melody, you win by default.
01:03:50No.
01:03:50Congratulations.
01:03:51No.
01:03:53Wait, I still want to fight for my legacy.
01:03:55We'll go again if she promises not to cheat.
01:04:00I'll judge.
01:04:02Lauren may not be my blood daughter, but I did raise you both.
01:04:06And I'm the true Ashworth heir.
01:04:08And I'm going to fucking prove it, bitch.
01:04:14Go, Melody!
01:04:15Shut up!
01:04:17Just stay focused.
01:04:18Remember your strategy.
01:04:19Engarde!
01:04:19You've leached on this family for way too long.
01:04:21I earned this legacy.
01:04:23Then shut up and prove it.
01:04:25All right.
01:04:25I didn't have to give you a second chance.
01:04:27Unlike you, I have honor and standards.
01:04:29Allez!
01:04:30And the final point goes to...
01:04:41Melody!
01:04:43No!
01:04:44No!
01:04:45This is fair!
01:04:46I deserve to win!
01:04:47Don't worry.
01:04:47I'll make sure you're taken care of.
01:04:50Even though I know you won't do the same for me.
01:04:54George.
01:04:56This was a mistake.
01:04:57I still love you.
01:04:59We're getting a divorce.
01:05:00I'm so proud of you.
01:05:12Mr. Wright.
01:05:14I clearly misjudged your situation.
01:05:18And I have obviously been a hypocrite.
01:05:20I fired Leo Castellan.
01:05:21And if you'd like, I'd be happy to give you your old job back.
01:05:26Apology accepted.
01:05:27But I'm not interested in being a university coach anymore.
01:05:32There's only one world-class fencer that I want to train for the rest of my life.
01:05:38If she'll put up with me.
01:05:40And then if I'm lucky, one day when she graduates and maybe wins an Olympic gold medal,
01:05:45I'll put a ring on her finger.
01:05:46What do you think about that, Miss Ashworth?
01:05:49Let me think about it, coach.
01:05:54Yes, I will.
01:05:57I love you, too.
