00:00:00My first day at Looney University, the school my family's ruled for generations.
00:00:14Don'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.
00:01:22Congratulations.
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!
00:01:36I'll do it.
00:01:56I'll do it.
00:01:56On guard.
00:02:03Impressive.
00:02:04The Ashworth reputation doesn't disappoint.
00:02:09She's incredible.
00:02:14You almost had me there.
00:02:16I'm just warming up.
00:02:18Wow, 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.
00:02:44Coach Wright, do you think you can help me with my stance?
00:02:57Let's get really deep down.
00:03:10Good job today, everyone.
00:03:11I'll see you next week, okay?
00:03:13Keep up the good work.
00:03:14You 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'm in a fair fight right now.
00:03:41You and me.
00:03:44You're a glutton for punishment, sis.
00:03:51Lender your sword.
00:03:54Try not to break it this time.
00:03:56Game on, sis.
00:03:57Game on, sis.
00:04:00En garde.
00:04:03Good.
00:04:04Allez.
00:04:06Point, Melody.
00:04:12Point, Lauren.
00:04:13Next point wins.
00:04:16I'm just as good as you.
00:04:17We'll see about that.
00:04:29I win, and you cry.
00:04:33I guess some things 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.
00:04:44Bye.
00:05:14Midnight 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.
00:06:12If 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 her sister, didn't you?
00:06:40Do you like this?
00:06:47You hear what I said?
00:06:48You hear what I said?
00:06:50What?
00:06:50You 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?
00:07:02If you're willing to wake up early.
00:07:05Meet me on the field, 6 a.m. sharp on Friday.
00:07:07Do not be late.
00:07:10Miss Melody, there's a car waiting for you up front.
00:07:35What?
00:07:36I didn't ask for a car.
00:07:40Oh, please, no!
00:07:55No, please, no!
00:07:59Shut up, stupid.
00:08:01We're not being murdered.
00:08:03What the hell is happening?
00:08:04Oh, God.
00:08:08Ah, there they are, my champions.
00:08:36Dad, I had another class.
00:08:37Yeah, and I had a date.
00:08:39Daddy, it's literally only the second day of college.
00:08:41Silence!
00:08:47According to centuries-old Ashworth tradition,
00:08:51your first year at university determines your fate.
00:08:54Whoever wins the fencing championship in June
00:08:57shall 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,
00:09:11only one may inherit our legacy.
00:09:15This honor must be decided in their 21st year according to a duel.
00:09:20Dad, are you drunk?
00:09:22Sober as the edge of a blade.
00:09:25So you're saying one of us is going to 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.
00:09:43This is not a game.
00:09:46No distractions, no cheating,
00:09:47no bribery or sabotage.
00:09:51This is a test of skill.
00:09:53Only clean fencing.
00:09:56That's easy.
00:09:58Because I was born for this.
00:09:59So was I.
00:10:00If I don't beat Lauren at the end of the year,
00:10:12I'll lose everything.
00:10:15There's an exclusive varsity athlete party tonight,
00:10:17and you're all invited.
00:10:19See you there.
00:10:26Melody, you coming?
00:10:27Oh, no.
00:10:28Melody is not invited.
00:10:31The only reason why she's even on our team
00:10:33is because of our family name,
00:10:34which she won't be having much longer.
00:10:37I don't care about your party.
00:10:57Lauren,
00:11:22you've stepped on me our whole lives.
00:11:25That changes tonight.

00:11:43Because I look good 24-7.
00:11:45I'm hot 24-7.

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

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.
00:37:38You're still here.
00:37:40How else would I be?
00:37:41Or maybe 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.
00:38:24I 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?
00:38:34Why do you swear, Lauren?
00:38:40Pride.
00:38:43Spite.
00:38:44To prove that I was the best.
00:38:47Don't make the same mistakes I did.
00:38:51Don't throw away your future.
00:38:53Even if we just did.
00:39:10I don't regret last night.
00:39:12I hope that doesn't change.
00:39:14It's my dad.
00:39:27Melody Ashworth, come home now!
00:39:32I have to go.
00:39:38Daddy, look.
00:39:41It's not fair.
00:39:44Your 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.
00:39:50It's a...
00:39:51Did you sleep with your sister's coach?
00:39:54That would constitute cheating.
00:39:56No!
00:39:57He walked me home.
00:39:58Nothing happened.
00:39:59Ugh, liar.
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?
00:40:15Disqualify 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 fair, we need to remove any distractions.
00:40:26Absolutely.
00:40:26Of course.
00:40:27You will no longer train with Roman Wright.
00:40:29You will no longer train with you.
00:40:30You will no longer train with you.
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.
00:41:05Pleasure.
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.
00:41:46Well, I guess you two are so cute together.
00:41:54Don't lie, princess.
00:41:55I've been waiting to get my hands on you.
00:41:58Then it's settled.
00:42:06Thought 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.
00:42:18Just family stuff.
00:42:36You're looking a little stiff.
00:42:39Would it last night kind of wear you out?
00:42:41No.
00:42:43Just 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, 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.
00:43:11No!
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.
00:43:42As 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.
00:44:06I just did.
00:44:07You're going to regret that, princess!
00:44:21Hi.
00:44:24So, you found out the truth about Melody?
00:44:30I bet you guys care more about your legacy than the feelings of actual human beings.
00:44:37Is that a line?
00:44:39You're still my student.
00:44:44Well, I can be more than just your student.
00:44:51I mean, come on.
00:44:53Melody?
00:44:55Melody is way beneath you.
00:44:56So, you deserve to be with a real champion.
00:45:00Like me.
00:45:11You'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 than less on inappropriate suspension-worthy behavior.
00:45:21I'll see you at practice, Miss Ashworth.
00:45:26Oh, Clifton.
00:45:47You do things my husband would never dare.
00:45:49Does he know anything about us?
00:45:53He won't find out as long as you do that favor I asked for.
00:45:59Anything for you.
00:46:00My mother is having an affair with the university president?
00:46:12Mom, 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.
00:46:22You already lost his trust.
00:46:24Once you had your little fling with Coach Wright.
00:46:27Mom!
00:46:28How 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, your tuition vanishes.
00:46:42Got it?
00:46:51Robin thinks I used him and my mom's cheating on my dad.
00:46:54And if I don't marry Leo, I'm going to lose everything.
00:46:58You're going to win the championships and your mom's going to eat her words.
00:47:02And then you can divorce Leo's crusty ass promise.
00:47:04I can't marry him.
00:47:12Holy shit.
00:47:13The school's exclusive fencing society invited us to join.
00:47:16Tonight.
00:47:17This is your perfect chance to 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.
00:47:30We're going.
00:47:31We're going.
00:47:31What 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 you jump, please?
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.
00:48:24How about we kick off tonight's festivities with a little game of skill?
00:48:30Who knows how to play strip points?
00:48:33I thought that game was banned.
00:48:35It's like a striptease in dual form.
00:48:37Get the shirt off your opponent without touching their skin.
00:48:40If you're good, it should be easy.
00:48:44But if not, I guess we'll see.
00:48:46Their shirt or their dress?
00:48:50The loser owes the winner a favor.
00:48:55Melody Ashworth.
00:48:57Care to help me demonstrate?
00:48:59Since you're so eager to take your clothes off,
00:49:02maybe I should go first?
00:49:06Okay, princess.
00:49:08But if you lose, I get an hour with you.
00:49:11Whatever I want.
00:49:12Oh, this is gonna 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.
00:49:36Focus.
00:49:36Focus.
00:49:36Focus.
00:49:36Focus.
00:49:42That'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.
00:50:01Now, now.
00:50:02Don't be a sore loser.
00:50:05Why don't we talk about that favor you owe me?
00:50:07I 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.
00:50:27Coming 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?
00:50:39Right 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, I'll forego Melody's favor to me.
00:50:57He's beating him into another unsafe fight.
00:50:59Roman could get hurt.
00:51:01Coach Wright, I'm fine.
00:51:06Let's finish this now.
00:51:09But on my terms, full gear, official rules.
00:51:14How it was supposed to be.
00:51:16Sure.
00:51:18Wouldn't want you getting hurt.
00:51:26Roman, he'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.
00:52:27We done here?
00:52:29I never lose!
00:52:31I'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, Wright.
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.
00:52:59Oh.
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.
00:53:19Yeah, 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.
00:53:37I'm falling for you, Roman, right?
00:53:44I know I shouldn't.
00:53:45And I've tried to forget you, but I can't.
00:53:50I've never felt this way before.
00:53:52You really are reckless.
00:53:56I'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.
00:54:05When 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.
00:54:20I could never lie to you.
00:54:22Not about how I feel.
00:54:23I love you.
00:54:28I love you too.
00:54:53June, what is it?
00:54:59I'm sleeping.
00:55:00Check your socials.
00:55:01It's really bad.
00:55:14What was going on?
00:55:21Hey, hey, hey!
00:55:23I'm going to go to the school, and I will take full responsibility.
00:55:32I'll resign, and I'll tell them that it was completely on me.
00:55:35No, it...
00:55:36If the video had the part where Leo forced himself on me, people would understand.
00:55:41No, people see what they want to see, okay?
00:55:43I'm not letting you throw your future away from me.
00:55:45Well, I'm not letting you sacrifice yourself for saving me.
00:55:53President Clifton, he wants to see us in an hour.
00:55:58You promised me I won't lose you.
00:55:59Is it true?
00:56:16My employee assaulted an Olympic alumnus and then took a student home?
00:56:23The press is banging on our doors.
00:56:25It is a scandal.
00:56:28And Miss Ashworth, your family's reputation and fencing accolades have built this university.
00:56:35You've let us all down.
00:56:36President Clifton, you deserve the truth.
00:56:40That night, I...
00:56:42I...
00:56:42took advantage of Miss Ashworth, sir.
00:56:46My temper got the better of me, and I'm sorry.
00:56:49She's completely innocent.
00:56:50Rome.
00:56:52Coach Wright, that's not the full story.
00:56:55Coach Wright, you're fired.
00:56:57And you are lucky if the Ashworth family and the Castellano estate don't press charges.
00:57:03You can't fire him.
00:57:04He's the best coach you've ever had.
00:57:06He cares, and she's...
00:57:07Miss Ashworth, don't make me change my mind and expel you.
00:57:12It's been an honor serving this university, sir.
00:57:16I'll go pack my things.
00:57:25Don't be right.
00:57:25Don't walk away from me.
00:57:27We have to fight this.
00:57:28It's over, Miss Ashworth.
00:57:31I'm sorry.
00:57:41I 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.
00:57:53Since Mr. Wright was sacked due to misconduct, I'll be your new coach.
00:58:02And I quit.
00:58:09Bye-bye.
00:58:10I'm here for practice, coach.
00:58:28I'm not your coach anymore.
00:58:30Well, you said it yourself.
00:58:33If I'm going to win, I need to work harder than everyone else, which means I need the best coach.
00:58:41Great.
00:58:42Yeah.
00:58:42Oh, wow.
00:58:55Stand up.
00:58:57That's it.
00:58:59You're doing this.
00:59:01Oh, my God.
00:59:03You're almost ready.
00:59:08I better be, because my dad's furious.
00:59:12Well, since I'm technically no longer your coach anymore, how about a lunch date?
00:59:19Leo deserved that bloody nose.
00:59:28You've got to teach me how to punch like that.
00:59:30Absolutely not.
00:59:31You're dangerous enough as a fencer.
00:59:33Besides, I don't want anything hurting this perfect face.
00:59:39What's wrong?
00:59:41The competition's in a few days.
00:59:43And even when Lauren's not cheating, she's good.
00:59:45I might lose.
00:59:47You won't.
00:59:47You're better.
00:59:50I'm serious.
00:59:52And after chasing after you, if I lose, with all the chaos I caused, I might lose more than
00:59:58my parents' support.
00:59:59It might be my scholarship.
01:00:01I'd be out on the streets.
01:00:02For the rest of my life, I will always be there for you.
01:00:06Even if you lose, which you won't, you will always have a place to stay and someone fighting
01:00:12in your corner.
01:00:13I promise you.
01:00:17What?
01:00:18You have soy sauce on your nose.
01:00:20Oh my God.
01:00:21What did I get it?
01:00:22Yes.
01:00:28I just realized something.
01:00:30Hmm.
01:00:30I can't lose everything if I have you.
01:00:33Honored students, faculty, alumni, many great fencing champions have arisen from these
01:00:46halls.
01:00:48A handful of them bear the Ashworth name.
01:00:51My daughters have trained to be the best, just as their forefathers did.
01:00:56Judging their bout today, I welcome President Clifton.
01:01:04The Ashworth legacy bout is not just a match.
01:01:08It illustrates the pride and history of our university.
01:01:13And the past few weeks have seen some tribulations.
01:01:16So, today, we begin our match with good, clean fencing.
01:01:22I'm surprised I let Roman show up.
01:01:25I hope he likes watching you lose.
01:01:27I hope you like fencing without bribing the judges.
01:01:30En garde.
01:01:31Prête.
01:01:33Allez!
01:01:37Point, Melody!
01:01:38Point, Lauren!
01:01:48Point, Melody!
01:01:53Point, Lauren!
01:01:58Four, four.
01:02:00One point left.
01:02:01This decides the match.
01:02:03En garde.
01:02:04Prête?
01:02:06Allez!
01:02:08Point, Lauren Ashworth!
01:02:16The match is over!
01:02:21That wasn't clean!
01:02:23Miss Melody Ashworth, the bout is over.
01:02:25You lost.
01:02:26You shouldn't be judging at all.
01:02:28Your word means nothing.
01:02:29What did you just say?
01:02:30You're having an affair with my mother.
01:02:32That 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?
01:02:42Just admit it.
01:02:43You lost and you're sad.
01:02:45I did some digging.
01:02:47Lauren and I never looked alike, even for fraternal twins.
01:02:50I found some hospital records in my mom's room.
01:02:53What?
01:02:54It was you.
01:02:55They state that Lauren is not my daughter and that she was born a year after.
01:03:08After Melody, how can...
01:03:10How 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?
01:03:39I'm better than this.
01:03:40Not 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 leeched on this family for way too long.
01:04:21I earned this legacy.
01:04:23Then shut up and prove it.
01:04:25Crit.
01:04:25I didn't have to give you a second chance.
01:04:27Unlike you, I have honor and standards.
01:04:29Allez!
01:04:30Allez!
01:04:34No!
01:04:37No!
01:04:37No!
01:04:38And the final point goes to...
01:04:42Melody!
01:04:43No!
01:04:44No!
01:04:45This affair, I deserve to win!
01:04:47Don't worry.
01:04:48I'll make sure you're taken care of, even though I know you won't do the same for me.
01:04:54George, this 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, I clearly misjudged your situation, and I have obviously been a hypocrite.
01:05:19I fired Leo Castellan, and if you'd like, I'd be happy to give you your old job back.
01:05:26Apology accepted.
01:05:27But, um, I'm not interested in being a university coach anymore.
01:05:31There's, um, only one world-class fencer that I want to train for the rest of my life, if
01:05:38she'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, I'll put
01:05:45a ring on her finger.
01:05:46What do you think about that, Miss Ashworth?
01:05:48Hmm.
01:05:48Let me think about it, coach.
01:05:54Yes, I will.
01:05:57I love you, too.
01:05:57I love you, too.
