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'm just as good as you are.
00:04:45I'm just as good as you are.
00:04:46I'm just as good as you are.
00:04:47I'm just as good as you are.
00:04:48I'm just as good as you are.
00:04:49I'm just as good as you are.
00:04:50I'm just as good as you are.
00:04:51I'm just as good as you are.
00:04:52I'm just as good as you are.
00:04:53I'm just as good as you are.
00:04:54I'm just as good as you are.
00:04:55I'm just as good as you are.
00:04:56I'm just as good as you are.
00:04:57I'm just as good as you are.
00:04:58I'm just as good as you are.
00:04:59I'm just as good as you are.
00:05:00I'm just as good as you are.
00:05:01I'm just as good as you are.
00:05:02I'm just as good as you are.
00:05:03I'm just as good as you are.
00:05:04Midnight training session?
00:05:26Well, I need the work, obviously.
00:05:29I see.
00:05:34Your word hurts.
00:05:41There.
00:05:43Sit.
00:05:44I'm fine.
00:05:45It wasn't a suggestion.
00:05:46Sit.
00:06:04If 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?
00:06:18Do not tempt me, Ms. Ashworth.
00:06:26You read this.
00:06:46You 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?
00:07:02You'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.
00:07:25Miss Melody, there's a car waiting for you up front.
00:07:35What?
00:07:36I didn't ask for a car.
00:07:53Oh my God!
00:07:55No, please no!
00:07:59Shut up, stupid.
00:08:01We're not being murdered.
00:08:03What the hell is happening?
00:08:07Dad.

00:08:30Dad.
00:08:31Dad.
00:08:32Dad.
00:08:33Dad.
00:08:34Dad.
00:08:35Dad.
00:08:36I had another class.
00:08:37Yeah.
00:08:37And I had a date.
00:08:39Daddy, it's literally only the second day of college.
00:08:41Silence!
00:08:42Dad.
00:08:43Dad.
00:08:44Dad.
00:08:45Dad.

00:09:04Dad!
00:09:05Dad.
00:09:06Dad.
00:09:07Dad.
00:09:08And I have to go to the door and to the village.
00:09:09Dad.
00:09:10Dad.
00:09:11Dad.
00:09:12Dad.
00:09:13Dad.
00:09:14This 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 gonna 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?
00:09:42And you went to the Olympics.
00:09:44This is not a game. No distractions, no cheating, no bribery or sabotage.
00:09:51This is a test of skill. Only clean fencing.
00:09:56That's easy. Because I was born for this. So was I.
00:10:01If 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.
00:10:26Melody, are you coming?
00:10:28Oh, no. Melody 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.
00:10:38I don't care about your party.
00:10:40No.
00:10:41You, Ben, are you coming?
00:10:46No.
00:10:56You are coming.
00:10:59You're coming.
00:11:00No.
00:11:01No.
00:11:03Lauren, you've stepped on me our whole lives.
00:11:24That changes tonight.
00:11:3324-7, on your teams, I'm an 11, I'm an 11, wanna know how I get stressin', I don't
00:11:42be stressin', cause I look good 24-7, I'm hot 24-7.
00:11:48You 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.
00:12:04Bitch.
00:12:05Let me get you a drink.
00:12:09I've never been to a party before, or had a drink before.
00:12:13Okay, what are you doing?
00:12:15You don't owe her your time.
00:12:17Come on.
00:12:19Hello?
00:12:20Can you not be a pig?
00:12:22Let's go.
00:12:24Excuse!
00:12:25June!
00:12:26No, June!
00:12:27No, June!
00:12:28I'm sorry.
00:12:29No, June!
00:12:30Let's go, bitches!
00:12:32Come on everyone, let's start playing!
00:12:47Yay!
00:12:48Justin!
00:12:49Truth or dare?
00:12:50Dare.
00:12:51Well, I dare you to kiss the hottest girl in the room.
00:13:05Uh-huh-huh!
00:13:06Oh my god.
00:13:07What?
00:13:08Her?
00:13:09You must be joking.
00:13:10Kinda like how you were joking when you cheated at our fencing match?
00:13:12Shut up, attention whore.
00:13:13You 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, I have a picture.
00:13:30Look.
00:13:31That's not funny.
00:13:36You 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.
00:14:01Roman, right?
00:14:06I challenge you to a duel.
00:14:11I challenge you to a duel.
00:14:14No.
00:14:15Scared I'll win?
00:14:18Yeah, you're drunk.
00:14:19You're gonna poke your own eye out.
00:14:21No one believes in me.
00:14:23Come on!
00:14:24That's enough.
00:14:27Let go!
00:14:28Fight me!
00:14:29I'm gonna lose.
00:14:34Lauren's gonna beat me at the end of the year and I'm gonna get kicked out of my family's
00:14:40will.
00:14:41Not if I train you.
00:14:43You remember?
00:14:446am tomorrow morning?
00:14:46Or did you forget?
00:14:49Go.
00:14:54You're impossible.
00:15:06Well, well.
00:15:11She lives.
00:15:12I regret my entire life.
00:15:13Champions train under brutal conditions.
00:15:14Even self-inflicted ones.
00:15:15Fantastic.
00:15:16I'll poison myself before every practice.
00:15:17He wouldn't be the first college athlete to try that.
00:15:18Okay, come.
00:15:19Stretch.
00:15:20Stretch.
00:15:21So, up your injury.
00:15:26That feels good.
00:15:27for every practice.
00:15:28He wouldn't be the first college athlete to try that.
00:15:30Okay, come, stretch.
00:15:45This will help your injury.
00:15:47That feels good.
00:15:53Suit up.
00:15:54Since your right hand is injured,
00:15:57I'll train with your left.
00:16:06I can't.
00:16:09Yes, you can.
00:16:10Come on.
00:16:14En garde.
00:16:20This is humiliating.
00:16:21I feel like a total beginner.
00:16:22Hey, you said you wanted to fight.
00:16:25So channel all your resentment for how early it is
00:16:27or your anger from your sister and fight me.
00:16:29And fight me.
00:16:39Again.
00:16:46You're too stiff.
00:16:47Relax your wrist and your stance is off.
00:16:49Again.
00:16:59Well done.
00:17:01But it could be better.
00:17:02Can I have my victory for two seconds?
00:17:03Hey, you're still favoring your right side.
00:17:05Okay, try shifting your weight.
00:17:06Here.
00:17:09Here.
00:17:10Lift your legs.
00:17:11There you go.
00:17:12There you go.
00:17:25Something hurt?
00:17:27Can he tell what I'm thinking?
00:17:30Is it obvious?
00:17:32Our training session's over.
00:17:34Go get ready for class.
00:17:36No, we just started making progress.
00:17:37Yeah, I said we're done.
00:17:39You feel it too?
00:17:40You feel it too.
00:17:45It's not gonna happen.
00:17:47We're both adults.
00:17:49I'm your coach.
00:17:51Okay, I could lose my position.
00:17:52And you could lose your shot at the championship.
00:17:54I've spent my entire life fencing.
00:17:57Studying and keeping my head down while Lauren went off and chased whoever she wanted.
00:18:01Okay, so go find a guy your own age.
00:18:03I deserve to break the rules for once.
00:18:06Don't you want me?
00:18:08It's unprofessional.
00:18:10But do we?
00:18:11No.
00:18:21I can't.
00:18:22Okay, do not ask me again or I won't be able to train you.
00:18:36Hi, Dad.
00:18:37Your sister warned me you might be distracted from the competition.
00:18:41Should I be worried?
00:18:42No.
00:18:44No distractions.
00:18:52Did Melody really blow Coach Wright?
00:18:56She practically begged him.
00:18:57So embarrassing.
00:18:59Well, that's one way to win championships.
00:19:05Ignore them and stay focused.
00:19:07From now on, no more distractions.
00:19:13Today we'll be using practice gloves for tactical training.
00:19:20Hi, Coach Wright.
00:19:23Remember, fencing is about physical and mental control.
00:19:27In the heat of the fight, you'll want to give in to your impulses.
00:19:31The many you do, you've lost.
00:19:34All right, pair off.
00:19:37Un-01.
00:19:40En-garde.
00:19:42Prett.
00:19:43LA!
00:19:54This is Ashworth.
00:19:55Your tempo is off and your recovery is sloppy.
00:19:57Nice form, excellent work.
00:20:01Alright, that's it for today everyone.
00:20:05You're free to go.
00:20:09Not you.
00:20:11Run 10 laps.
00:20:13Seriously?
00:20:27What the hell's your problem?
00:20:31First you pretend like I don't exist and then you publicly humiliate me while I'm winning?
00:20:37You asked for this.
00:20:41I didn't ask for you to humiliate me and punish me.
00:20:43Do you wanna be a champion?
00:20:45You wanna beat your sister?
00:20:46It's not gonna happen if I'm soft on you.
00:20:48Bullshit.
00:20:49This isn't about fencing.
00:20:51This is about what happened between us this morning.
00:20:53Nothing happened?
00:21:01Yeah.
00:21:02Nothing happened.
00:21:10I told you.
00:21:12He's not into second-rate amateurs.
00:21:14But don't worry.
00:21:16I'll keep his lap warm for you.
00:21:18Is Roman checking out Lauren?
00:21:24Of course he is.
00:21:25I'm so stupid.
00:21:26I don't have time for this.
00:21:28Bye.
00:21:30Hey coach?
00:21:36Roman won't help me and Lauren's out for blood.
00:21:39I can't waste any more time.
00:21:41Ignore the pain.
00:21:42Or Lauren wins.
00:21:44No.
00:21:45No.
00:21:46No.
00:21:47No.
00:21:48No.
00:21:50No.
00:21:51No.
00:21:52No.
00:21:53No.
00:21:54No.
00:21:55No.
00:21:56No, no.
00:21:58No.
00:21:59No.
00:22:00No.
00:22:01No.
00:22:03No.
00:22:09No.
00:22:10Hey, hey, hey! Come here!
00:22:12What the hell are you doing?
00:22:18I have to be the best.
00:22:20Okay, you're acting like an amateur.
00:22:21I told you not to push through this.
00:22:23You didn't listen to me.
00:22:24I guess I can't do anything right.
00:22:29Show me.
00:22:35It's sensitive.
00:22:37I know.
00:22:40I thought you were done with me.
00:22:46I'm never going to be done with you.
00:22:50Roman, kiss me.
00:22:58Stop.
00:22:58I need you to go before I lose control.
00:23:01And rest your damn arm.
00:23:10I've had the family attorneys look over this contract for your championship competition.
00:23:19This is your last chance to back out.
00:23:23All right.
00:23:24All right.
00:23:25You're both your father's daughter.
00:23:27The terms are simple.
00:23:28If you cheat, you're disqualified.
00:23:39Your uncle and I competed with these back in the day.
00:23:44May they bring you honor.
00:23:46Thank you, dad.
00:23:49I won't let you down.
00:23:51Girls, know that I love you.
00:23:53And that no matter what happens, I'm proud of you.
00:23:57Come.
00:23:58Lauren.
00:23:59Honey.
00:24:00A word?
00:24:02Okay.
00:24:04Forget this contract.
00:24:06Social comparison theory suggests we define ourselves based on how we feel we measure up
00:24:23to others.
00:24:24It is a slippery slope in the psychological world, both dangerous and intriguing at the
00:24:29same time.
00:24:30Melody, what's on your phone that's so interesting?
00:24:44Sorry, professor.
00:24:48She did this.
00:24:59Enough.
00:25:00Settle down.
00:25:18Do I say hello to him?
00:25:21Does he know about the video?
00:25:28Hi.
00:25:30Stop fucking with me.
00:25:40Back off, Lauren.
00:25:46Melody.
00:25:47Seems like you're obsessed with our coach.
00:25:49What are you going to do next?
00:25:51Write his little name on the dorm walls.
00:25:54It's enough.
00:25:55Both of you.
00:25:56I'd like to give some recognition to Melody Ashworth.
00:26:08Despite her injury, she's trained harder than the rest of you.
00:26:13Learn from her example.
00:26:14Thanks.
00:26:14Thanks.
00:26:15You owe me an extra morning training session.
00:26:26Tomorrow I'm in the gym.
00:26:32Piece of advice.
00:26:33Don't try and beat me at my own game.
00:26:35Because I will fucking destroy you.
00:26:38Fifteen minutes early.
00:26:50I owed you.
00:26:51I rested my arm like you said.
00:26:55And it feels way better.
00:26:58Miracles do happen.
00:26:59You can train on it today.
00:27:00Just go slow.
00:27:01Okay?
00:27:09Hey.
00:27:13Go get your strength back.
00:27:23I'm going.
00:27:24Well done.
00:27:40I learned from the best.
00:27:49Are you sure you want to do this?
00:27:51You know what you're risking.
00:27:52Of course.
00:27:53I fought for my place in this family, in this competition, my entire life.
00:27:57But I can't stop wanting you.
00:28:13Tell me to stop.
00:28:14Keep going.
00:28:15Keep going.
00:28:15Don't try and beat me.
00:28:17Don't try and beat me.
00:28:18Don't try and beat me.
00:28:19Don't try and beat me.
00:28:20Tell me how I know you were.
00:28:22Everything you've ever dreamed
00:28:27Got me thinking, is this love?
00:28:36My mind is going crazy, baby
00:28:40Maybe you've got all my attention
00:28:43Living inside the tension
00:28:45My mind is going crazy, baby
00:28:49I think I'll
00:28:50Oh my god!
00:28:52What's going on?
00:28:55June, it's not what it looks like
00:28:57It looks like you're making out with the coach
00:28:59No, June!
00:29:02Fucking 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
00:29:07And then we don't get caught
00:29:08We're done with our private sessions
00:29:10June, we're friends, right?
00:29:22Sure
00:29:23And friends help each other out
00:29:26And enemies
00:29:27Enemies 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
00:29:40I can't get your taste off my lips
00:30:01Meet me in the gym tonight
00:30:02Let's spar
00:30:03R
00:30:04Roman?
00:30:16I thought you never wanted to see me again
00:30:20Okay, let's do this
00:30:23What the hell is wrong with you?
00:30:45What the hell is wrong with you?
00:30:50You actually thought he wanted you
00:30:52Note
00:30:54You tricked me
00:30:55Well
00:30:57June spilled everything
00:30:58She said you practically threw yourself at him
00:31:01No wonder why he dumped you after things got just a little messy
00:31:04Wait, do you really think he loved you?
00:31:06Aww
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
00:31:19But leave Roman to me
00:31:21Or else I'm going to tell dad your dirty little
00:31:23You have no proof
00:31:26You sure about that?
00:31:29I have been watching your every move since we were kids
00:31:33I know your weak spots
00:31:35And I know the ending
00:31:38And I always fucking hide
00:31:41Hey
00:31:42Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey
00:31:44What is going on here?
00:31:48Melody
00:31:48She tricked me into this dirty fight
00:31:50She's trying to hurt me so I can't compete tomorrow
00:31:53Bullshit, you ambushed me
00:31:55Are you listening?
00:31:58She's fucking crazy
00:31:59Can you do something about this and kick her off the team
00:32:02Before someone gets hurt and has to go to the hospital?
00:32:04You lured me with a fake note
00:32:06What?
00:32:06What note?
00:32:19Listen to me right now
00:32:20I will not be a pawn in your sibling rivalry
00:32:24I thought you two were honorable fencers
00:32:26Not catty, immature children
00:32:29Who risk their futures with idiotic fights
00:32:31Do not give me any excuse right now
00:32:34You pull a stun like this again
00:32:37You're off the team
00:32:38Both of you
00:32:40At least I can sleep in on Fridays now
00:33:07Melody
00:33:08Melody
00:33:08There you are
00:33:09What do you want?
00:33:11Look, I screwed up
00:33:13Whatever is between you and Roman
00:33:15It is none of my business
00:33:16And it's just
00:33:17Lauren threatened my fencing scholarship
00:33:20And your family is a big deal here
00:33:24And I just, I panicked
00:33:25And I'm really sorry
00:33:27That I ratted you out
00:33:28It's okay
00:33:30My sister can be scary
00:33:32I want to make it up to you
00:33:34There's this invite-only networking party tonight
00:33:37And it's just for legacy fencing champions
00:33:40And students with Olympic belt coaches
00:33:42Alumni, scouts
00:33:44They're all gonna 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
00:33:52Please, I'll help you get ready
00:33:55We'll look super hot
00:33:57And flirt with cute boys
00:33:59And make career connections
00:34:01It'll be fun
00:34:02That sounds
00:34:04Amazingly normal
00:34:06Compared to what my life has been like lately
00:34:08We'll be right back
00:34:38Everyone's staring, because you're hot shit. Own it.
00:34:45Oh my god, is that Melody Ashworth? She looks like a model. Shut up.
00:34:56Hey, I was hoping you'd show. You sure made an impression on me. You look beautiful tonight. Can I get you a drink?
00:35:07Sure. I can't stop thinking about Roman. But here's this hot guy completely into me. I should be enjoying this.
00:35:21A true gentleman.
00:35:23Hey. Coach, what's up? I saw you spiking. What? No, I didn't. Drink it.
00:35:38Whoa, hey man, whoa. Rufies. You were going to put one in her drink and take her upstairs and then what? You think that makes you a man?
00:35:46It was a joke, Coach. It was a joke. You're fucking pathetic. You're off the team and tomorrow you'll be expelled.
00:35:53I could have handled myself. I just saved your ass.
00:35:57Oh, my knight in shining armor. I thought we weren't supposed to be alone anymore.
00:36:01He could have raped you, okay? I wanted to kill him.
00:36:04Oh, so you care about me? Admit you care about me.
00:36:09Yes, okay? I care about you. Even when you're fencing, I cannot get you out of my brain. Yes.
00:36:15Tell me to stop and I will.
00:36:24Come, come.
00:36:45You 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?
00:37:13Just...
00:37:16Go slow.
00:37:18Of course.
00:37:38You're still here.
00:37:39How else would I be?
00:37:41Maybe I dreamt you.
00:37:44Or maybe I went too far and scared you off.
00:37:50What's this?
00:37:51An old wound.
00:37:53A mistake.
00:37:56You went to the Olympics, but you never competed.
00:38:00And then you disappeared from the circuit.
00:38:02A smart girl.
00:38:05I was young and reckless and everybody thought I was going to take home the gold.
00:38:11The 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 support Lauren?
00:38:40Pride.
00:38:42Spite.
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.
00:38:52Even if we just did.
00:39:09I don't regret last night.
00:39:12I hope that doesn't change.
00:39:13It's my dad.
00:39:26Melody Ashworth, come home now!
00:39:32I have to go.
00:39:38Daddy, look.
00:39:39It's not fair.
00:39:43Your sister sent me this.
00:39:45What are you doing with Coach Wright?
00:39:47Explain yourself.
00:39:48It's not what it looks like.
00:39:50It's a-
00:39:51Did you sleep with your sister's coach?
00:39:53That would constitute cheating.
00:39:55No!
00:39:56He walked me home.
00:39:57Nothing happened.
00:39:59Liar.
00:40:00You're in the same dress from last night.
00:40:01I 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.
00:40:19This is my chance.
00:40:20I need it.
00:40:22If you're going to fight fair, we need to remove any distractions.
00:40:25Absolutely. Of course.
00:40:27You will no longer train with Roman Wright.
00:40:31Furthermore,
00:40:33well,
00:40:34now's as good a time as any.
00:40:36Leo.
00:40:38Our arrangement will need to begin sooner than we discussed.
00:40:42Come over.
00:40:43Dad, who's Leo?
00:40:44Yeah, who's Leo?
00:40:45What's going on?
00:40:47If Roman Wright is such a distraction to you,
00:40:48we need to find another outlet for your...
00:40:51temptations.
00:40:53Someone more suitable.
00:40:55Melody, meet your fiancé.
00:40:57Pleasure.
00:41:11Pleasure.
00:41:13To meet my future wife.
00:41:14Melody, this is Leo Castellan, Olympic gold medalist.
00:41:17I was going to wait to tell you the good news about your arranged engagement.
00:41:22Leo Castellan?
00:41:24Where do I know that name from?
00:41:25Given the circumstances,
00:41:26Leo has agreed not only to marry you,
00:41:28but to take over your training as well.
00:41:31He 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 fiancé.
00:41:40Either accept Leo or forfeit your place in the will.
00:41:44My decision is final.
00:41:47I guess you two are so cute together.
00:41:53Don'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 did your dad want?
00:42:13The 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.
00:42:38What did last night kind of wear you out?
00:42:40No.
00:42:43Just the opposite.
00:42:47Melody.
00:42:49Enjoying your last training session with your washed up coach?
00:42:54What the hell are you doing on my campus?
00:42:56Just picking up my fiancé.
00:42:59You didn't tell me.
00:43:00You know, Roman, it happened so fast.
00:43:01Wait, wait, wait.
00:43:02Did you know about this when we were...
00:43:04No.
00:43:06Forget it.
00:43:08Congratulations to the both of you.
00:43:10No! Roman, wait!
00:43:12What could you possibly have to say to me right now?
00:43:16You lied to me.
00:43:18You don't understand my dad.
00:43:19Your father would be disappointed that you're still wasting time here.
00:43:25I get it.
00:43:27Just like a means to an end, huh?
00:43:30And here I thought that an Ashworth was capable of more than just playing games.
00:43:37No, Roman!
00:43:38He's just mad because he knows he's not good enough for you.
00:43:42As a fencer or a man.
00:43:43Don't worry.
00:43:44I've got you now.
00:43:45Don'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.
00:43:56Don't say no to me.
00:43:57Nobody says no to me.
00:44:01Nobody says no to me.
00:44:05I just did!
00:44:08You're gonna regret that, princess!
00:44:10Oh!
00:44:20Hi.
00:44:24So...
00:44:26You found out the truth about Melody.
00:44:29I bet you guys care more about your legacy than the feelings of actual human beings.
00:44:36Was that a line?
00:44:37No line.
00:44:39You're still my student.
00:44:43Well...
00:44:46I can be more than just...
00:44:48your 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.
00:45:08You're no champion.
00:45:12You've coasted on your name and neglected your duties to your team.
00:45:15Here's a tip.
00:45:17Spend more time on fencing
00:45:19and less on inappropriate suspension-worthy behavior.
00:45:24Let's see your practice, Ms. Ashworth.
00:45:26What?
00:45:27Oh, Clifton.
00:45:28You do things my husband would never dare.
00:45:29Does he know anything about us?
00:45:30He won't find out as long as you do that favor I asked for it.
00:45:31Anything for you.
00:45:32Oh, no.
00:45:33No.
00:45:34No.
00:45:35No.
00:45:36No.
00:45:37No.
00:45:38No.
00:45:39No.
00:45:40No.
00:45:41No.
00:45:42No.
00:45:43No.
00:45:44No.
00:45:45No.
00:45:46No.
00:45:47No.
00:45:48No.
00:45:49No.
00:45:50No.
00:45:51No.
00:45:52No.
00:45:53No.
00:45:54No.
00:45:55No.
00:45:56No.
00:45:57No.
00:45:58No.
00:45:59No.
00:46:00No.
00:46:01No.
00:46:02No.
00:46:03No.
00:46:04No.
00:46:05No.
00:46:06No.
00:46:07No.
00:46:08No.
00:46:09No.
00:46:10No.
00:46:11No.
00:46:12No.
00:46:13No.
00:46:14No.
00:46:15No.
00:46:16No.
00:46:17No.
00:46:18No.
00:46:19No.
00:46:20No.
00:46:21No.
00:46:22No.
00:46:23No.
00:46:24No.
00:46:25No.
00:46:26Right?
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, your tuition vanishes.
00:46:41Got it?
00:46:43Robin thinks I used him and my mom's cheating on my dad and 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 and then you can divorce Leo's crusty ass promise.
00:47:03I can't marry him.
00:47:05Holy shit. The school's exclusive fencing society invited us to join. Tonight.
00:47:16This is your perfect chance to fix things with Roman.
00:47:19He won't talk to me. It's no good.
00:47:23He risked his career for you.
00:47:27I'm gonna fix your makeup. We're going.
00:47:35What is Leo doing here?
00:47:49What kind of fencing society is this?
00:47:51Well, he's alumni, right? He's probably just a member.
00:47:54Hey, don't worry. I'm gonna look out for you, okay?
00:47:58One minute, can we jump? Please?
00:48:05Stop.
00:48:08Attention, champions.
00:48:13I'm Leo Castellan, president of the Looney 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.
00:48:29Who knows how to play strip points?
00:48:32I thought that game was banned.
00:48:34It's like a striptease in dual form.
00:48:36Get the shirt off your opponent without touching their skin.
00:48:39If you're good, it should be easy.
00:48:42But if not, I guess we'll see.
00:48:45Their shirt or their dress.
00:48:49The loser owes the winner a favor.
00:48:54Melody Ashworth.
00:48:56Care to help me demonstrate?
00:48:58Since you're so eager to take your clothes off,
00:49:01maybe I should go first?
00:49:05Okay, princess.
00:49:07But if you lose, I get an hour with you.
00:49:10Whatever I want.
00:49:12Oh, this is gonna be so good.
00:49:29Good thing I never touch your body with a ten foot pole.
00:49:32I just have to get his shirt off without touching him.
00:49:34Focus.
00:49:35Oops.
00:49:51That's a touch.
00:49:53Bummer.
00:49:54And she chokes.
00:49:56Classic Melody.
00:49:57Oh, I screw it up.
00:49:59You moved.
00:50:00Now, now.
00:50:02Don't be a sore loser.
00:50:04Why don't we talk about that favor you owe me?
00:50:09I can do whatever I want with you.
00:50:17What do you say we go upstairs?
00:50:19You can make me forget about how you humiliated me.
00:50:21Okay, this is done.
00:50:22I saw you cheat.
00:50:24Well, that's quite the accusation.
00:50:26Coming from the guy who didn't bother to show his face at our Olympic bout.
00:50:29I guess those who can't do teach.
00:50:31She's not going anywhere with you.
00:50:34Oh, really?
00:50:35You gonna put your blade behind that?
00:50:37You wanna bow?
00:50:38Right now?
00:50:39Oh, look.
00:50:40Roman Wright protecting his pathetic little pet.
00:50:43How cute.
00:50:44You.
00:50:45You.
00:50:46Me.
00:50:47Real blades.
00:50:48No mask.
00:50:49No gear.
00:50:50Just skill.
00:50:51If you win, I'll forego Melody's favor to me.
00:50:56He's beating him into another unsafe fight.
00:50:58Roman could get hurt.
00:51:00Coach Wright, I'm fine.
00:51:03Let's finish this now.
00:51:04But on my terms.
00:51:05Full gear.
00:51:06Official rules.
00:51:07How it was supposed to be.
00:51:08Sure.
00:51:09Wouldn't want you getting hurt.
00:51:10Roman, he's dangerous.
00:51:11Don't do it.
00:51:12Welcome to the big league, sweetheart.
00:51:13Watch and learn.
00:51:14Best out of three.
00:51:15Unless you forfeit.
00:51:16Not to you.
00:51:17Ever again.
00:51:18Wouldn't want you getting hurt.
00:51:26Roman, he's dangerous. Don't do it.
00:51:28Welcome to the big league, sweetheart.
00:51:30Watch and learn. Best out of three.
00:51:33Unless you forfeit.
00:51:35Not to you ever again.
00:51:48What?
00:51:54Coach Wright's in the lead.
00:52:18I won.
00:52:26We done here?
00:52:28I never lose!
00:52:34I'm the best in the world,
00:52:36and I'm gonna take what's mine.
00:52:38Get off of her!
00:52:42That was a huge mistake, Wright.
00:52:44I'm gonna destroy whatever's left of your career.
00:52:46Come on, we're leaving.
00:52:50Oh, that was way better than I thought.
00:53:00Here, let me.
00:53:02You've done enough.
00:53:04He put his hands on you.
00:53:06I had no choice.
00:53:08I had to protect you and I lost control.
00:53:10You fought your rival.
00:53:12The man who ruined your life.
00:53:14The man who ruined your life.
00:53:18And you won.
00:53:20Yeah, I did, didn't I?
00:53:24I was thinking about you the whole time.
00:53:26You don't wanna be with him.
00:53:28I tried to tell you my family forced me to be with Leo.
00:53:32But I hate him.
00:53:34I'm falling for you.
00:53:40I'm falling for you, Roman, right?
00:53:42I know I shouldn't.
00:53:44And I've tried to forget you.
00:53:46But I can't.
00:53:48I've never felt this way before.
00:53:50You really are reckless.
00:53:52Falling for the guy that just by touching you could lose everything.
00:53:56And all I wanna do is touch you and hold you and love you.
00:54:02When I thought you left me for Leo, I thought that everything we had was a lie.
00:54:06And that I lost the biggest treasure of my life.
00:54:10More than my leg and more than my fencing career.
00:54:14I could never lie to you.
00:54:16Not about how I feel.
00:54:18I love you.
00:54:20I love you too.
00:54:22Not about how I feel.
00:54:24I love you.
00:54:26I love you too.
00:54:28I love you too.
00:54:52I love you too.
00:54:58June, what is it?
00:54:59Sleeping.
00:55:00Check your socials.
00:55:01It's really bad.
00:55:14What is going on?
00:55:22I'm gonna go to the school and I will take full responsibility.
00:55:30I'll resign and I'll tell them that it was completely on me.
00:55:34No!
00:55:36If 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?
00:55:42I'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.
00:55:54He wants to see us in an hour.
00:55:57You promise me I won't lose you.
00:56:15Is it true?
00:56:16My employee assaulted an Olympic alumnus
00:56:20and then took a student home?
00:56:22The press is banging on our doors.
00:56:25It is a scandal.
00:56:27And Miss Ashworth, your family's reputation and fencing accolades have built this university.
00:56:35You've let us all down.
00:56:37President Clifton, you deserve the truth.
00:56:40That night I...
00:56:41I...
00:56:43took advantage of Miss Ashworth, sir.
00:56:45My temper got the better of me and I'm sorry.
00:56:48She's completely innocent.
00:56:49Roman.
00:56:51Coach Wright, that's not the full story.
00:56:54Coach 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.
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.
00:57:10Mm-hmm.
00:57:11It's been an honor serving this university, sir.
00:57:13Go pack my things.
00:57:16If I'm right, don't walk away from me.
00:57:17We have to fight this.
00:57:18It's over, Miss Ashworth.
00:57:19I'm sorry.
00:57:20I heard they fired that sicko, Roman.
00:57:21I wonder who the new coach is.
00:57:22I don't know, but he better be hot.
00:57:23Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to practice.
00:57:24I wonder who the new coach is.
00:57:25I wonder who the new coach is.
00:57:26I don't know, but he better be hot.
00:57:27Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to practice.
00:57:42Since Mr. Wright was sacked, due to my death, I have to fight this.
00:57:46I heard they fired that sicko, Roman.
00:57:48I wonder who the new coach is?
00:57:49I don't know, but he better be hot.
00:57:50Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to practice.
00:57:54since Mr. Wright was sacked due to misconduct.
00:58:00I'll be your new coach.
00:58:02And I quit.
00:58:10Bye-bye.
00:58:25I'm here for practice, coach.
00:58:29I'm not your coach anymore.
00:58:30Well, you said it yourself.
00:58:32If I'm going to win, I need to work harder than everyone else,
00:58:36which means I need the best coach.
00:58:41Great.
00:58:42Yeah, stand up.
00:58:57That's it, you're doing this!
00:59:01Oh, my God.
00:59:06You'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,
00:59:18how about a lunch date?
00:59:25Leo 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?
00:59:40The 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.
00:59:48You're better.
00:59:50I'm serious.
00:59:52And after chasing after you,
00:59:54if I lose with all the chaos I caused,
00:59:57I might lose more than my 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,
01:00:04I will always be there for you.
01:00:06Even if you lose, which you won't,
01:00:09you will always have a place to stay
01:00:11and someone fighting in your corner.
01:00:13I promise you.
01:00:14What?
01:00:18You have soy sauce on your nose.
01:00:20Oh my God.
01:00:21What, did I get it?
01:00:22Yes.
01:00:29I just realized something.
01:00:30Hmm.
01:00:30I can't lose everything if I have you.
01:00:39Honored students, faculty, alumni,
01:00:43many great fencing champions have arisen from these halls.
01:00:47A handful of them bear the Ashworth name.
01:00:51My daughters have trained to be the best,
01:00:54just as their forefathers did.
01:00:56Judging their bout today,
01:00:57I 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, prête, allez!
01:01:37Point, Melody!
01:01:46Point, Lauren!
01:01:48Point, Melody!
01:01:54Point, 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!
01:02:06Point, Lauren Ashworth!
01:02:16The match is over!
01:02:21That wasn't clean!
01:02:23Miss Melody Ashworth,
01:02:24the 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,
01:02:48even for fraternal twins.
01:02:50I found some hospital records in my mom's room.
01:02:53What?
01:02:55It was you.
01:02:58I don't know.
01:02:58They state that Lauren is not my daughter
01:03:06and 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
01:03:12for 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
01:03:20to 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
01:03:27in 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.
01:03:41Not only is President Clifton an unfit judge,
01:03:45but Lauren is not my blood daughter.
01:03:48Melody, you win by default.
01:03:50No.
01:03:50Congratulations.
01:03:51No.
01:03:51Wait, 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,
01:04:04but I did raise you both.
01:04:06And I'm the true Ashworth heir.
01:04:08And I'm gonna fucking prove it, bitch.
01:04:14Go, Melody!
01:04:15Shut up!
01:04:16Just 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.
01:04:25Crit.
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!
01:04:30And the final point goes to...
01:04:41Melody!
01:04:43No!
01:04:44No!
01:04:44This affair I deserve to win!
01:04:47Don't worry.
01:04:48I'll make sure you're taken care of,
01:04:49even though I know you won't do the same for me.
01:04:51George, this was a mistake.
01:04:57I still love you.
01:04:59We're getting a divorce.
01:05:09I'm so proud of you.
01:05:10Mr. Wright, I clearly misjudged your situation,
01:05:18and I have obviously been a hypocrite.
01:05:20I fired Leo Castellan, and if you'd like,
01:05:23I'd be happy to give you your old job back.
01:05:26Apology accepted.
01:05:26But, um, I'm not interested in being a university coach anymore.
01:05:33There's, um, only one world-class fencer that I want to train
01:05:36for 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
01:05:42and 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.
01:05:51Yes, I will.
01:05:57I love you, too.
01:06:14Fancy, sipping me up like...
