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.
00:04:44I don't know.
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.
00:05:47If 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.
00:06:26Do not tempt me, Miss Ashworth.
00:06:39Do not tempt me, Miss Ashworth.
00:06:41Do not tempt me, Miss Ashworth.
00:06:44For a new reckless.
00:06:46You hear what I said?
00:06:48You hear what I said?
00:06:50What?
00:06:51You 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 dating your sister.
00:06:59I can train you.
00:07:00You will?
00:07:02If you're willing to wake up early,
00:07:04meet me on the field 6 a.m. sharp on Friday.
00:07:07Do not be late.
00:07:32Miss Melody, there's a car waiting for you up front.
00:07:35What?
00:07:37I didn't ask her for a car.
00:07:56No, please, no!
00:07:59Shut up.
00:08:00Stupid.
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.
00:08:35Dad, 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.
00:08:53Whoever wins the fencing championship in June shall 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, only 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, as did the last twins before us.
00:09:38Wait, so that's why Uncle Rob lives in a hut off the grid?
00:09:41And you went to the Olympics.
00:09:44This is not a game.
00:09:46No distractions, no cheating, no bribery, or sabotage.
00:09:50This 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, I'll lose everything.
00:10:15There's an exclusive varsity athlete party tonight, and you're all invited.
00:10:19See you there.
00:10:20Melody, are you coming?
00:10:27Oh, no.
00:10:28Melody is not invited.
00:10:31The only reason why she's even on our team is because of our family name, which she won't
00:10:36be having much longer.
00:10:38I don't care about your party.
00:10:39I don't care about your party.
00:10:50I don't care about your party.
00:11:20Lauren, you've stepped on me our whole lives.
00:11:25That changes tonight.
00:11:41I don't be stressed.
00:11:42Because I look good 24-7.
00:11:45I'm hot 24-7.
00:11:50I don't need 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.
00:12:05Let me get you a drink.
00:12:09I've never been to a party before or had a drink before.
00:12:12Okay.
00:12:14What are you doing?
00:12:15You don't owe her your time.
00:12:17Come on.
00:12:18Hello?
00:12:20Can you not be a pig?
00:12:21Let's go.
00:12:24Excuse.
00:12:25June!
00:12:26No, June.
00:12:26No, June.
00:12:27What's hard?
00:12:28No, June.
00:12:28Where are you?
00:12:29I'm sorry.
00:12:32Let's go, bitches!
00:12:33Come on, everyone.
00:12:45Let's start playing.
00:12:47Yay!
00:12:47Yay!
00:12:51Justin.
00:12:52Truth or dare?
00:12:54Dare.
00:12:54Well, I dare you to kiss the hottest girl in the room.
00:13:04Uh-huh.
00:13:05Oh, my God.
00:13:14What?
00:13:15Her?
00:13:15You must be joking.
00:13:16Kind of 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.
00:13:34That's not funny.
00:13:35You know what else isn't funny?
00:13:38She bribed the judges so that she'd win skates our junior year of high school.
00:13:43Shut up!
00:13:44You're such a liar.
00:13:46None of that ever happened.
00:13:48Enjoy your party.
00:13:49Bye, bitch.
00:13:52Roman, right?
00:14:09I challenge you to a duel.
00:14:12I challenge you to a duel.
00:14:14No.
00:14:17Scared I'll win?
00:14:18Yeah, you're drunk.
00:14:19You're going to poke your own eye out.
00:14:20No one believes in me.
00:14:23Come on.
00:14:26It's enough.
00:14:28Let go.
00:14:28Fight me.
00:14:35I'm going to lose.
00:14:37Lauren's going to beat me at the end of the year, and I'm going to get kicked out of my
00:14:40family's will.
00:14:41Not if I train you.
00:14:43You remember?

00:28:43Living inside the tension.
00:28:46My mind is going crazy, baby.
00:28:49I think I love you.
00:28:51Oh my god.
00:28:54What's going on?
00:28:56Junius, now it looks like...
00:28:57It looks like you're making out with the coach.
00:28:59No, Jun...
00:29:00Fucking mistake.
00:29:03No, I'll talk to her.
00:29:04You're not going to say anything.
00:29:05You're going to pray she doesn't tell anyone and then we don't get caught.
00:29:08We're done with our private sessions.
00:29:10Junius, we're friends, right?
00:29:22Sure.
00:29:23And friends help each other out.
00:29:27And enemies...
00:29:28Enemies can pull some strings to make some fencing scholarships disappear.
00:29:32What do you want?
00:29:37I want some intel on my dear sister, Melody.
00:29:41Okay?
00:29:59I can't get your taste off my lips.
00:30:01Meet me in the gym tonight.
00:30:03Let's spar.
00:30:04R.
00:30:15Roman?
00:30:18I thought you never wanted to see me again.
00:30:21Okay?
00:30:22Let's do this.
00:30:31What the hell is wrong with you?
00:30:49You actually thought he wanted you?
00:30:53Note.
00:30:54You tricked me.
00:30:56Well, Jun spilled everything.
00:30:59She said you practically threw yourself at him.
00:31:01No wonder why he dumped you after things got just a little messy.
00:31:05Wait, do you really think he loved you?
00:31:08Aww.
00:31:08You're jealous.
00:31:13You get everything you want.
00:31:15You can't handle me having this one thing.
00:31:17Well, someone's got to remind you of your place.
00:31:20But leave Roman to me.
00:31:21Or else I'm going to tell Dad your dirty little.
00:31:23You have no proof.
00:31:27You sure about that?
00:31:29I have been watching your every move since we were kids.
00:31:34I know your weak spots.
00:31:36And I know the ending.
00:31:38And I always fucking hide.
00:31:41Hey.
00:31:43Hey.
00:31:43Hey.
00:31:43Hey.
00:31:44Hey.
00:31:44Hey.
00:31:44Hey.
00:31:46Ow.
00:31:47What is going on here?
00:31:48Melody.
00:31:49She tricked me into this dirty fight.
00:31:51She's trying to hurt me so I can't compete tomorrow.
00:31:53Bullshit.
00:31:54You ambushed me.
00:31:56Are you listening?
00:31:58She's fucking crazy.
00:32:00Can you do something about this and kick her off the team before someone gets hurt and has
00:32:03to go to the hospital?
00:32:04You lured me with a fake note.
00:32:06What note?
00:32:11Listen to me right now.
00:32:21I will not be a pawn in your sibling rivalry.
00:32:24I thought you two were honorable fencers.
00:32:27Not catty, immature children who risk their futures with idiotic fights.
00:32:32Do not give me any excuse right now.
00:32:35You pull a stunt like this again, you're off the team.
00:32:39Both of you.
00:32:41Both of you.
00:33:05At least I can sleep in on Fridays now.
00:33:08Melody.
00:33:09There you are.
00:33:10What do you want?
00:33:11Look, I screwed up.
00:33:14Whatever is between you and Roman, it is none of my business.
00:33:16And it's just...
00:33:18Lauren threatened my fencing scholarship.
00:33:22And your family is a big deal here.
00:33:24And I just, I panicked.
00:33:25And I'm really sorry that I ratted you out.
00:33:29It's okay.
00:33:31My sister can be scary.
00:33:33I want to make it up to you.
00:33:34There's this invite-only networking party tonight, and it's just for legacy fencing champions and students with Olympic belt coaches, alumni, scouts.
00:33:45They're all going to be there.
00:33:46Come with me as my friend.
00:33:48Won't Lauren be mad?
00:33:50Probably.
00:33:51But you've earned your place too.
00:33:53Please, I'll help you get ready.
00:33:56We'll look super hot, and flirt with cute boys, and make career connections.
00:34:02It'll be fun!
00:34:02That sounds amazingly normal compared to what my life has been like lately.
00:34:38Everyone's staring.
00:34:43Because you're hot shit.
00:34:46Own it.
00:34:52Oh my god, is that Melody Ashworth?
00:34:54She 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.
00:35:22Hey.
00:35:29Coach, mate.
00:35:30I saw you spiking.
00:35:31What?
00:35:31No, I didn't.
00:35:33Drink it.
00:35:39Whoa, hey man.
00:35:40Whoa.
00:35:42Rufies.
00:35:43What is that?
00:35:43You said 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.
00:36:09Yes, 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.
00:36:25Come, come.
00:36:39You sure you want to keep going?
00:37:02It's my first time.
00:37:04Oh.
00:37:05This is a really big deal, man.
00:37:12You sure you want to continue?
00:37:15Just go slow.
00:37:19Of course.
00:37:35You'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.
00:37:51What'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.
00:38:02A smart 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.
00:38:27And judges never found out.
00:38:29And 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.
00:38:43Spite.
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.
00:38:53I don't regret last night.
00:39:11I hope that doesn't change.
00:39:14It's my dad.
00:39:27Melody Ashworth, come home now!
00:39:32I have to go.
00:39:34Daddy, look.
00:39:40It'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.
00:39:50It's...
00:39:51Did you sleep with your sister's coach?
00:39:54That would constitute cheating.
00:39:56No, 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.
00:40:04This is a disgrace.
00:40:06My own daughter compromising the integrity of the game.
00:40:10She 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 fair, we need to remove any distractions.
00:40:26Absolutely.
00:40:26Of course.
00:40:27You will no longer train with Roman Wright.
00:40:31Furthermore, 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...
00:40:52Temptations.
00:40:53Someone more suitable.
00:40:56Melody, meet your fiancée.
00:41:04Pleasure.
00:41:12Pleasure.
00:41:13To meet my future wife.
00:41:15Melody, this is Leo Castellon, Olympic gold medalist.
00:41:18I was going to wait to tell you the good news about your arranged engagement.
00:41:23Leo Castellon?
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.
00:41:54Don'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.
00:42:18Just family stuff.
00:42:19You're looking a little stiff.
00:42:39Would it last night kind of wear you out?
00:42:41No.
00:42:43Just 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.
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, Roman, 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.
00:43:34No, 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.
00:43:52I'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 going to regret that, princess.
00:44:10Jesus!
00:44:21Hi.
00:44:21Hi.
00:44:24So, you found out the truth about Melody.
00:44:28I bet you guys care more about your legacy than the feelings of actual human beings.
00:44:37Was that a line?
00:44:39You're still my student.
00:44:40Well, I can be more than just your student.
00:44:51I mean, come on.
00:44:53Melody?
00:44:55Melody is way beneath you.
00:44:57You deserve to be with a real champion.
00:45:01Like me.
00:45:10You'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.
00:45:40Oh, 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 that favor I asked for.
00:45:59Anything for you.
00:46:02My mother is having an affair with the university president?
00:46:05Whoa, you're sleeping with President Clifton?
00:46:14Shh, you 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!
00:46:29How could you?
00:46:30We'll all 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 gonna lose everything.
00:46:58You're gonna win the championships and your mom's gonna eat her words
00:47:01and then you can divorce Leo's crusty ass promise.
00:47:04I can't marry him.
00:47:11Holy 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.
00:47:27I'm gonna fix your makeup.
00:47:30We'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 gonna 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.
00:48:26How 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.
00:48:47Their shirts or their dress.
00:48:52The 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,
00:49:09I get an hour with you.
00:49:11Whatever I want.
00:49:25Oh, this is gonna be so good.
00:49:27Good 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.
00:49:50Oops.
00:49:52That's a touch.
00:49:54Bummer.
00:49:55And she chokes.
00:49:56Classic, Melody.
00:49:58Always screwing up.
00:50:00You moved.
00:50:01Now, 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.
00:50:24Well, 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 gonna put your blade behind that?
00:50:38You want to bow?
00:50:39Right now?
00:50:39Oh, look.
00:50:41Roman Wright protecting his pathetic little pet.
00:50:44How cute.
00:50:45You, me.
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.
00:50:57He's beating him into another unsafe fight.
00:50:59Roman could get hurt.
00:51:01Coach Wright,
00:51:02I'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.
00:52:02Go!
00:52:06Go!
00:52:08I won.
00:52:27We done here?
00:52:29I never lose.
00:52:33Luke!
00:52:34I've stepped you up!
00:52:36I'm the best in the world,
00:52:37and 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
00:52:45whatever's left of your career.
00:52:48Come on.
00:52:49We're leaving.
00:52:51Oh, that was way better
00:52:53than I thought.
00:53:01Here, let me.
00:53:02You've done enough.
00:53:03You've done enough.
00:53:05I put his hands on you.
00:53:07I had no choice.
00:53:09I had to protect you,
00:53:10and I lost control.
00:53:12You fought your rival.
00:53:15The man who ruined your life.
00:53:18And you won.
00:53:19Yeah, I did, didn't I?
00:53:21I was thinking about you the whole time.
00:53:26You don't want to be with him.
00:53:28I tried to tell you
00:53:29my family forced me
00:53:31to be with Leo,
00:53:32but I hate him.
00:53:35I'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,
00:53:47but I can't.
00:53:50I've never felt this way before.
00:53:52You really are reckless.
00:53:57Falling for the guy
00:53:58that just by touching you
00:53:59could lose everything.
00:54:01And all I want to do
00:54:02is touch you
00:54:03and hold you
00:54:04and love you.
00:54:07When I thought
00:54:08you left me for Leo,
00:54:10I thought that everything
00:54:11we had was a lie
00:54:12and that I lost
00:54:13the biggest treasure
00:54:14of my life.
00:54:16With my leg
00:54:17and within
00:54:17my 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.
00:54:49June, what is it?
00:54:59Sleeping.
00:55:00Check your socials.
00:55:01It's really bad.
00:55:14What?
00:55:15What was going on?
00:55:16I'm going to go to the school
00:55:29and I will take
00:55:30full responsibility.
00:55:32I'll resign
00:55:33and I'll tell them
00:55:34that it was completely on me.
00:55:35No!
00:55:36If the video had the part
00:55:39where Leo forced himself on me,
00:55:40people would understand.
00:55:41No, people see
00:55:42what they want to see, okay?
00:55:43I'm not letting you
00:55:44throw your future away for me.
00:55:45Well, I'm not letting you
00:55:46sacrifice yourself
00:55:46for saving me.
00:55:54President Clifton.
00:55:55He wants to see us
00:55:56in an hour.
00:55:58You promised me
00:55:59I won't lose you.
00:56:07Hey!
00:56:07Hey!
00:56:08Hey!

00:56:35Hey!
00:56:36Hey!
00:56:37Hey!
00:56:38Hey!
00:56:39Hey!
00:56:40Hey!
00:56:41Hey!
00:56:42Hey!
00:56:43Hey!
00:56:44Ashworth, sir. My temper got the better of me, and I'm sorry. She's completely innocent.
00:56:50Rome, Coach Wright, that's not the full story. Coach Wright, you're fired.
00:56:58And you are lucky if the Ashworth family and the Castellano estate don't press charges.
00:57:03You can't fire him. He's the best coach you've ever had. He cares, and she...
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.
00:57:14I'm going to pack my things.
00:57:25Rome, Wright, don't walk away from me. We have to fight this.
00:57:28It's over, Miss Ashworth. I'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.
00:57:54Since Mr. Wright was sacked due to misconduct, I'll be your new coach.
00:58:02And I quit.
00:58:02Bye-bye.
00:58:10Bye-bye.
00:58:25I'm here for practice, Coach.
00:58:26I'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.
00:58:55I love you.
00:58:58Yeah?
00:58:58That's it.
00:58:59You're doing it!
00:59:01Oh!
00:59:02Oh, 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!
01:04:38No!
01:04:39No!
01:04:40No!
01:04:41No!
01:04:42No!
01:04:43No!
01:04:44No!
01:04:45This affair, I deserve to win!
01:04:46Don't worry.
01:04:47I'll make sure you're taken care of, even though I know you won't do the same for me.
01:04:50George, this was a mistake.
01:04:52I still love you.
01:04:54We're getting a divorce.
01:04:56This was a mistake.
01:04:57I still love you.
01:04:58We're getting a divorce.
01:05:09I'm so proud of you.
01:05:10Mr. 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.
01:05:25Apology accepted, but 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, if 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, I'll put a ring on her finger.
01:05:46What do you think about that, Ms. Ashworth?
01:05:49Let me think about it, coach.
01:05:53Yes, I will.
01:05:55I love you.
01:05:56I love you too.
